Columbus Magazine 7 medley editor’s note

Hello from my home office! So much has changed in our community since the March issue of Columbus magazine. With the outbreak of COVID-19 in our nation, our lives have been impacted in many different ways. For some like me, it was a lifestyle change of working remotely and e-learning with the kids. For some, it meant closed businesses and lost wages. For some essential workers, it meant wearing protective gear and risking their lives to help others. For some students, it meant canceled prom and graduation. For some, it meant losing a loved one or fighting the virus personally. We’ve all had different experiences, but we are starting to see a light at the end of the long tunnel as businesses are reopening and restrictions are being lifted. While many of us grieve the loss of what we thought these past months had promised, I challenge our community to focus on the positive experiences that you have had during this time. For me, that was more quality time with my husband and children while we stayed at home. It was a time to do crafts and puzzles with my kids that we’re usually too busy to complete. We baked. We had more meals at home together. We read more. We laughed more. We enjoyed nature more. Sure there have been bumps along the way, but I’m choosing to focus on these happy memories. Whatever fond memories you have from these days, I hope you can hold onto them and be thankful. I’m extremely thankful to share this new issue of Columbus magazine with you, and I hope it brightens your day. Meet creative duo Daniel Martinez and Lulu Loquidis, learn about the best pizza places in town, take a look inside the home of John and Andrea Quick, and join us in congratulating five talented seniors on a job well done. I love hearing from so many of you when each magazine publishes. Whether it’s a story idea or just a note to say hi, please keep those emails coming. Stay in touch and stay safe, Columbus!

Emilee Miller [email protected]

There’s something sweet at Greek’s Pizzeria, and it’s not just the homemade cinna- mon twists with icing. The pizza sauce, which has a base of tomato sauce and tomato paste, contains spices and sugar, which gives the pizza its signature flavor. The most popular pie is the Greek’s Special. Dough that’s made fresh daily is hand tossed, then covered in the sauce. Italian sausage, onion, green bell peppers, ham and mushrooms add a lot of flavor. A three-cheese blend of mozzarella adds the right amount of cheesiness. Before going into the oven, each crust is brushed with garlic butter. Then there’s the pepperoni. “We cover the top of the pizzas with pepperoni so you’re going to get plenty of pepperoni on every piece of pizza you have,” says general manager LaRanda Walker. (By “cover the top” she means every inch of the pizza gets topped with the meat.) To wash down the copious amounts of meat, cheese and veggies, Walker recommends Six Foot Blonde by Indiana brewery Quaff On Brewing Co. This light and crisp beer “complements the pizza.” With salads big enough to feed two people, a frequent customer card that earns you $10 off a $20 order after five visits, and four beers on tap at all times, Greek’s Pizzeria offers a “sports-type atmosphere” that’s also relaxing and family-friendly, according to Walker.

318 E. Washington St. | 812-348-7600 | buccetos.com

On the corner of Washing- ton and Fourth streets sits Bucceto’s Smiling Teeth Pizza and Pasta restaurant. The establishment’s wraparound windows offer views of downtown that make it “great for people watching,” according to general manager Abram Stransky. When you first walk in, smells of mushrooms, tomato sauce, garlic and baking bread greet you. Friendly staff is on hand to answer questions, and they will gladly offer recom- mendations on any number of the hand-chopped and house- made meals. One of the most popular dishes is the campfire pizza. Onions are slow baked until they caramelize and then simmered with apple cider vinegar to form the homemade onion marmalade that replaces the more traditional red sauce. The marmalade is then topped with a custom blend of mozzarella and provolone cheeses, smoked sausage slices, fresh rose- mary and gorgonzola. The combination is a “sweet and smoky flavor” and “something you’ve never tasted before,” according to Stransky. The restaurant offers a vegetarian version of this pizza as well, where sausage is replaced with spice to our sweet and savory options are available.

Surrounded by fields of soybeans and corn, acres of grapes and other varieties of fruits and vegetables is an unlikely place for a brewery and restaurant. 450 North Brewing Co. sits on property on the outskirts of Columbus that’s been in the Simmons family for more than 200 years. Known for its craft beers and homemade wines, the establishment also serves brick oven-fired pizzas. The warm smell of brewing beer greets you when you walk in the door. Reclaimed barn wood from Indiana and New Hampshire adorns the walls. You might even see a pooch or two on the dog-friendly patio. Customers are drawn here, though, because of the beer, wine and pizza. “A big draw for us is the atmosphere itself, in addition to making good pizza,” says Lauren Solomon, general manager at Simmons Winery and 450 North Brewing Co. “We are very family-oriented, and a lot of guests feel that when they come.” There are about 20 different pizzas on the menu, so it might be hard to choose one. If you want a pie that’s straightforward and packs a load of flavors in its few ingredients, try the margherita. Hand-tossed dough is topped with a homemade sauce, miniature mozzarella balls, fresh tomatoes and basil. The

24 Columbus Magazine In doing the interior design work Andrea said she asked lots of people for advice. A kitchen-designer cousin led them to an Amish company in Montgomery that created their kitchen cabinets. Banis- ter brought with him ideas he had used in other projects — incorporating 13-foot ceilings, extra-tall and wide windows, and transoms over the doors to provide the natural light the couple desired. “It’s just like teaching,” An- drea said. “You know where the good resources are.” John said they were influenced by the architects who designed the school buildings where they worked — Harry Weese’s arches at North- side Middle School, Ralph Johnson’s modern use of space and volume at Central Middle School, Norman Fletcher at Parkside Elementary School for the idea for the front porch, and Gunnar Birkerts’ sense of relationship with the environment at Lincoln Ele- mentary School and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. Andrea pointed to John Carl War- necke’s Prairie design of the building where she worked and Edward Barnes’ use of natural light at Richards Ele- mentary School. “Columbus influenced us,” she said. “We decided to retire here because of everything the

community has to offer.” One of John’s contributions was flipping the house plan his wife and Banister had created to take advantage of their wooded view on two sides. He also rotated the placement 10 degrees to the southwest to an angle that would capture warm sunlight in the winter but keep out the summer’s harsh rays. Despite their previous building experiences, Andrea says there was a lot of trial and error. “You buy samples of paint and put it on the wall and say, ‘I think that looks good’ until you paint the whole wall and then say, ‘Hey, wait a minute.’” They moved into the house on Feb. 13, 2019, eight months after breaking ground, both

Daniel Martinez and Lulu Loquidis promote dynamic design at their LAA Office

“The program was excellent, and I met Lulu the very first semester. That’s where we got into the design profession — and into each other.” — Daniel Martinez You might not have met Daniel Martinez and Lulu YLoquidis yet, but chances are you will, and you already know their work. They’re the dynamic, creative couple who arrived in Columbus just two years ago and have already designed and painted the “Learning Patterns” mural on the side of the Sixth Street building where 411 Gallery is housed. They also mounted a companion show of the same name, designed the Commu- nity Studio, co-created the “Cleo Turns 50” exhibit at the library and much more. Martinez teaches at the J. Irwin Miller Architecture Program, part of Indiana University’s Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture and Design, and was co-creator of “Entry Portal” at The Republic Building for the most recent Exhibit Columbus. It was his teaching position that brought them here, but their fascinating story begins long before that. Martinez was raised in a Spanish-speaking household in south Florida.

As a member of the Galac- Tech 4926 FIRST Robotics Team, Ivan served as fabrication team leader during the previous school year, and during the 2019-2020 season he served as a member of the student board of directors for FIRST Indiana Robotics. HAUSER JR.-SR. HIGH SCHOOL During his sophomore year, he and Schroeder conceptual- ized and began constructing the virtual reality lab at New Tech. The two continued to work dili- gently to see the project through to fruition, and the facility now features a headset, controllers and a computer built by Ivan. The lab’s technology and 3-D applications can help students in health, art, math and engineering classes. “During my high school career, I have enjoyed my partic- ipation in the FIRST Robotics Competition the most,” says Ivan, who plans to study computer engineering and computer science at the University of Louisville. “I have participated since my freshman year, and during this time I have learned how to design, fabricate and troubleshoot a robot — entirely designed and fabricated from the ground up. In the 2019-2020 season I have helped introduce more streamlined fabrication and assembly techniques to help mitigate problems down the LAMB road.” COLUMBUS SIGNATURE ACADEMY – NEW TECH HIGH SCHOOL

SONG COLUMBUS NORTH HIGH SCHOOL

Multitalented might be an un- derstatement when describing Erica Song and the skills she brought to bear throughout her high school career. In the artistic realm, she has played the piano for 13 years and began singing back in the fifth grade. Her piano skills led to first-place honors in the Betty F. Brown Awards for Instrumental Excellence for three years, and she secured first-place honors in three categories at the Young Hoosier State Piano Compe- tition. Erica earned a spot as a semifinalist in the Carmel Klavier International Piano Competition three times and also received scholarships from the Anna Newell Brown Awards for Vocal Excellence twice.

Rachelle Myers & Bruno Lamberti Ceremony and reception at the Brown County History Center Nov. 16, 2019

Rachelle Myers has lived in Columbus since she was a child and has worked at a downtown coffee shop, Lucabe Coffee Co., for the last three years. Bruno Lamberti moved to Columbus from New Mexico for an internship with Cummins Inc. “We met within the first few days of Bruno’s internship at Cummins, the end of May 2018. He would ride his bike to work and stop by Lucabe to get coffee (an Ameri- cano, to be exact). I love welcoming people to Columbus and could tell he was new. I tried being friendly, but it wasn’t until we officially met at church that he realized I was more than “coffee girl,” and once he asked me out, the rest was history,” Rachelle said. Rock climbing has been an integral and fun part of their relationship. Bruno set up a weekend rock-climbing trip on July 4 with friends and family. They rented a cabin in the Red River Gorge and headed out every day to climb. On the final day of the trip, Bruno set up a hike to a waterfall, where he planned to propose. “Throughout the gorgeous hike, I saw friends walk ahead or “disappear.” Once we arrived to the waterfall, I walked ahead onto the top of the waterfall, and when I turned around to share my joy with Bruno, there he was on his knee,” Rachelle said. The couple wanted their wedding to have an outdoorsy theme and reflect their love of climbing. The space had wood floors and a wood-beamed ceiling surrounded by windows. They added greenery with whites, creams and pops of red and created boutonnieres out of climbing rope. They used climbing carabiners with rings for the ring bearer as another personal touch. “I was mostly excited,” Rachelle said of the wedding day. “This was the moment Bruno and I committed to be there for each other for the rest of our lives. To be surrounded and supported by your friends and family on one of the most important days of your life is a special and wonderful time.” The couple enjoyed a relaxing honeymoon in Florida.
