If you are one of Superintendent Phil Herman’s 2,331 followers on Twitter, chances are you have seen his cold weather chal-lenges. For those not on Twitter, Herman issues a challenge each time he is forced to close school due to the weather.

On a snow day in Feb-ruary, he challenged Hud-sonites to read on their day off and then added a special twist. “Do you accept the Hudson snow day challenge? Tweet me a picture of you read-ing in your snow fort. Use #roll-hud,” he said.

And share they did. The photos rolled in and Herman retweeted them. There were pictures of kids in igloos and snow tunnels reading everything from novels to “I Spy” books. There are even pictures of par-ents and teachers reading in their own snow forts.

The snow kept coming and temperatures contin-ued to hover below zero, forcing Herman to close the schools again. This time, he challenged his followers to thank a teacher. “Cold day challenge? Create a thank you tribute — picture, video, letter — to an educator who has had a positive impact in your life. #rollhud,” he tweeted.

The response this time was even more overwhelming. Students created videos and sent in pictures. Teachers from kindergarten up to the high school were thanked for their dedication, kindness and creativity. Teachers even thanked fellow teachers.

More cold weather brought another challenge — “Tweet me a pic of a Hudson/Explorer-themed food cre-ation,” Herman said. His Twitter feed filled up with pic-tures of the Hudson Clocktower made out of pancakes, and the Hudson “H” made out of a bunch of hot dogs.

While I hope the cold, snowy weather is on its way out, I’ll miss seeing the creative responses to Herman’s cold/snow day challenges. Until next year.

Judith Barker painted a portrait of her friend Heloise Gilmore when they were both 17-years-old and living in Walpole, Mass.

Now 63 years later, in a twist of fate and coincidences, the two friends reconnected in Hudson where Barker, now Carducci, paint-ed a new portrait of Gilmore, now DePew, in honor of her 80th birthday.

“My mom’s 80th birthday was June 1 and we were struggling to come up with a gift idea,” says Mark DePew, the oldest of Helo-ise’s four children. That’s when Mark’s wife Bren-da had a brainstorm — an updated version of the portrait Judy painted all those years ago.

“I love it,” Helo-ise says.

It is a crisp, cold day at the end of February. Heloise, her hus-

band Chuck, plus Mark and Brenda, stop by Judy’s house for the unveiling of the framed portrait. They had already seen the finished picture, but the frame is new.

There is an ease among the friends, born of years of common memories.

Judy and Heloise graduated from Walpole High School together. Judy pulls out the year-book from their senior year pointing out pic-

tures of herself and of Heloise.“Heloise and her friend Ann

were inseparable,” she remem-bers. “Ann’s parents commis-sioned me to do a portrait of her and then Heloise’s parents

asked me to do one of her.”The connection went

back even farther though, as Judy’s and Heloise’s moms were very good friends.

After graduation, the two friends lost touch for awhile.

While grow-ing up, Helo-ise’s family had a summer cot-tage near Lake Oss ipee in New Hamp-shire. That’s whe re she and Chuck now spend t he i r sum -mers.

“We say we’re going south for the

winter,” Chuck says of their home away from home at Laurel Lake in Hudson.

Back in the day, Chuck and Heloise both worked for summer camps in New Hamp-shire.

“One summer, Heloise was in Europe, but I met some of her friends who would always cross the lake to the camp I was at,” Chuck says.

The following summer, Heloise was work-ing in the kitchen at the camp when Chuck came in for dinner.

A girl Chuck had met the previous sum-mer, introduced him to Heloise and said if he was looking for a summer romance, Heloise should be it.

“Twelve days later we decided to get mar-ried,” he says.

Heloise nods. They both went back to school — Heloise

to Middlebury and Chuck to Michigan. “We only saw each at Christmas,” she

says.“And spring break,” Chuck adds.They married after college and this June

will mark their 59th anniversary.The DePews moved all over the country

— Toledo, New Orleans, New Jersey, New York — and even outside the country to Bo-gota, Colombia. They eventually settled back in Toledo.

But it wasn’t until Mark was married and moved to Hudson that Judy and Heloise re-connected. Since then, Judy has painted por-traits of Mark’s and Brenda’s four children.

With no immediate plans for another por-trait session, someone suggested perhaps Judy could paint Heloise again when they turn 100.

The friends both laughed.

“How do you get to Carne-gie Hall?” asked the hurried tourist.

“Practice,” answered the disgruntled violinist who had just concluded a miser-able practice. And so the old joke goes, drawing chuckles for more than 50 years since its debut. While it is often attributed to a cranky vio-linist, no one really knows who said it. No matter, be-cause one simply cannot be good enough to play any of the three concert halls that comprise the world famous Carnegie Hall unless one practices. Hudson’s own Megan Lee must be in on the joke as she has obvious-ly practiced her piano for countless hours and days since she began tinkling the keys at the age of five. She has played Carnegie Hall no

fewer than 10 times. Lee, piano virtuoso, high

school student, volunteer and friend will be the Mu-sic of the Western Reserve’s 2014/2015 Featured Young Artist in a concert spon-sored by the Tobin Family Fund, a fund of the Hudson Community Foundation. The winner of the Cleve-land Philharmonic Orches-tra’s Frieda Schumacher Young Adult Competition will perform her solo pro-gram March 15 at 5 p.m. at Christ Church Episcopal Hudson. Lee’s ability to play classical pieces with feeling and professional expertise make one forget that she is 17 years old.

COMMUNICATING

Hudson High senior performs in March 15

Music from the Western Reserve concert


f o r a c h a t .

The sound that emanat-

ed from their house — and

heard from the street — was strong,

beautiful and wor-thy of a concert hall. It

not only belied the petite high school senior who cre-

ated the sweet music, but also demonstrated her intelligence

and poise. Such is the contradic-tion faced by someone whose heart

is in two places: classical music and high school life. Lee keeps it all togeth-

er with strong focus, the ability to multi-task and prioritize, and endless support

from her family.

FROM FINGERTIPS TO EARSAs mentioned before, Lee began piano lessons

at the age of five, following in the footsteps of her sister, Stephanie, who is also a very talented pia-

nist and was profiled in Hudson Monthly as well. Af-ter three years, it was time for Lee to take her practice to the next level and so she moved on to the Cleveland In-stitute of Music (CIM), one of the most prestigious mu-sic schools in the U.S. Her mother, Grace, makes the trek from Hudson to Cleveland’s University Circle three times per week: one day for lessons and two days (aver-age) for recitals. “It is time consuming, but worth it,” Lee says. “It’s challenging for me.” According to Lee, CIM provides an environment where there are so many mu-sicians in the same place dedicating their lives to their craft. “I am still growing,” she says.

Studying under Sean Schulze, chair of the Piano Pre-paratory Department at CIM and an accomplished pi-anist himself, Lee was able to take advantage of many opportunities like participating in competitions and music festivals. Lee’s awards are many including the

opportunity to perform with the Cleveland Pops Or-chestra as a seventh grader and playing the Carnival of Animals along with Cirque du Soleil during its Cleveland visit. “It is rewarding to be able to play with adults who are pros,” she says. She has also played with the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra and the Cleveland Institute of Mu-sic Conservatory Orchestra. However, practice makes almost perfect and Lee’s hard work has paid off with 10 appearanc-es at the Joan & Sanford I. Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, a 268-seat venue that al-lows music students to showcase their talents through performance opportunities as part of its Weill Music Institute.

“It is an overwhelming experience,” Lee recalls. “So many great artists have performed there. I am lucky to have experienced it so many times.” And, as if Carnegie Hall isn’t enough, Lee has been recognized by two of the foremost music and piano educator organi-zations in the country. As a high school sophomore, she was invited to perform at the Music Teacher National Association’s Senior Performance Competition in 2013, which start at the local level and end at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Lee ultimately won the national fi-nals. “It was awesome,” she recalls. “It’s a fun environ-ment, but there is serious piano as well.” Lee also was invited to perform at the National Conference on Key-board Pedagogy, the biennial meeting of keyboard music educators, researchers and industry leaders.

CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTAnyone who took piano lessons as a kid will remem-

ber suffering through classical music, that stuff one nev-er hears on the radio unless grandpa’s driving. Students can’t wait to get their hands on the pop music books to show off to their friends and play in school talent shows.

Megan Lee performs with the Cleveland Institute of Music Conservatory Orchestra.


Lee is a classically trained pianist who performs pop songs only when her friends ask for it. Her preference is Chopin which she will per-form at the Western Re-serve concert. “My core is classical, but I can play ba-roque and contemporary as well,” she says. When asked whether she prefers play-ing as part of a larger group or as a soloist, Lee says she much prefers going it alone. “I like to be in control of my own performance,” she says. “Music is a form of expres-sion. [My performance] is what I am able to take from the music and put my own musical touch on it.” Lee’s renditions of Chopin sound like Chopin, but the feeling behind the piece — what flows from her hands to your ears — is all hers. It is this aspect of her performances that Lee finds the toughest. “To a certain point you want to communicate a message

to the audience, to capture it so that it feels what you are trying to convey,” she says. “This is the toughest. I try to tell a different story with each piece.”

Lee’s own story is com-plex and multi-dimension-al. As a student at Hud-son High, she found that her time is stretched pret-ty thin. While a sophomore, Lee took three advanced placement courses and then five AP courses as a junior. Now, as a senior, she is tak-ing four AP courses cou-pled with the school’s New Dimensions program. Lee also is senior class presi-dent, a member of the Hud-son Community First Youth Advisory Board, president and founder of the Hudson High School Student Volun-teer Program, a member of the National Honors Soci-ety, Spanish Honors Society and Mu Alpha Theta Math Society.

It is her service to oth-ers that gives Lee much joy. During her middle school years, Lee joined her sis-ter in performing in sever-al concerts to benefit select causes. Their first endeav-or, a concert sponsored by St. Mary Church, was as-sembled by various young artists and raised approxi-mately $2,600 toward hur-ricane relief efforts in Hai-ti. Hudson High school performers — including the school band and cho-ral members — performed in another concert that ben-efited relief efforts in Ja-pan. These concerts were the beginning of the Hud-son High School Student Volunteer Program which flourished after Lee realized that her friends were more than willing to help others in need. Volunteers tutor at East Woods Elementary, the Akron Ronald McDonald House, and they throw par-ties for students with spe-cial needs.

The Program is com-prised of about 60 to 70 stu-dents who put on about three to four events per month. It is through this program that Lee became familiar with the Music from the Western Reserve.

THE NEXT PERFORMANCE

One of the service activi-ties assigned to the volun-teer program involved sell-ing tickets for the Music of the Western Reserve’s con-certs.

In 2013, Youngstown State University piano pro-fessor Caroline Oltmanns kicked off the Music of the Western Reserve’s concert season, and after her per-formances, recommended Lee for the organization’s next young performer spot. Lee and her family had no idea until May 2014, when she set to work figuring out what her program would be. Working with Schulze, Lee assembled a program that is cohesive and a good mix of pieces she has already played and some new ones too. She will begin with a

sonata by Beethoven and then launch into her favor-ite Chopin. Her preparation has included practicing one to two hours per day, even more on the weekend.

According to Schulze, a native of South Africa who has played the world over, Lee’s skill level is “extraor-dinary.” Over the past few years, he says, she has dis-played a huge leap in ma-turity. “[Her ability] to communicate the mu-sic effectively and develop a stronger technical abili-ty has allowed her to play a wider range of styles in the last four years,” he says. “She is one of the more ac-complished and extraordi-nary students at CIM in the past 13 years (he has been there that long),” Schulze says. “It is a great honor to be featured in this concert series.”

Schulze was quick to point out that CIM is dedi-cated to helping Lee reach her full potential, however, it is the entire team Megan Lee that makes it all hap-pen. From Lee’s teachers — both music and school — to her friends to her fami-ly, it takes a village to sup-port this girl. But, it is Lee’s mother, Grace, who does a lot of the heavy lifting as well. And, yet, she takes no credit. “I have been on board from day one,” she says. “You learn to appreci-ate their efforts. The child has to work. Seeing how they grow is such a plea-sure.”

Lee is looking forward to pursuing a double major in music and economics as she heads to the East Coast for college. While she has ap-plied to many schools, she hasn’t made any final deci-sions.

After three years of com-petitions, Lee has said per-forming in the Music from the Western Reserve’s 32nd Season concert series will be a nice ending to this phase of her musical career.

Something says that this is not the last time we will hear beautiful music from Megan Lee.

Hudsonite Tom Smolko never intended to write a history book about Geau-ga Lake Amusement Park.

And with English as his worst class growing up, he also never intended to love writing. But it just hap-pened.

“Even in grade school I wanted to write a book,” he says.

Smolko grew up in Maple Heights. After graduating from Maple Heights High School, he took a brief de-tour into the Marines.

“I went into the Marines with a purpose,” he says. “I was going to be a police of-ficer.”

An injury in boot camp, though, changed those plans, and Smolko admits he floundered a bit trying to figure out what he want-ed to do with his life.

He earned associate de-grees from Tri-C and start-ed writing screen plays.

The website for his com-pany — Smoke Screen Entertainment, LLC — is filled with projects. He has written or co-written 18 screenplays, plus 13 short scripts and a television pi-lot.

His screenplays have

been produced in the Unit-ed States, England and Pakistan.

They also have been recognized at numer-ous film festivals. His ro-mantic comedy, “Three’s a Charm,” was runner up for Best N o r t h -C o a s t s c r e e n -play in the 2005 Ohio I n d e -pendent S c r e e n -p l a y Aw a r d s . His dra-m a t i c s c r e e n -play, “Leg-acy Gold-en,” was a finalist in the 2013 Beverly Hills Internation-al Film Festival and won an honorable mention in the 2012 San Pedro Film Fes-tival.

He has also won awards in the Mexico Indepen-dent, California and Los Angeles New Wave Inter-national film festivals.

“I’ve found you need to write what others want, to

get established,” he says. “Then you can write what you like.”

How did he take his screenplays to the next lev-el?

Smolko says Craigslist was a good place to adver-

tise in the late 1990s and early 2000. He found the p r o d u c -er of his two plays filmed in Pakistan — “ D o Over” and “Thieves” — o n Craigslist.

“ H e shot the e n t i r e s c r e e n -

play [Thieves] panning back and forth,” Smolko says. “I couldn’t have the same actors in two consec-utive scenes. It was real-ly hard to write with those parameters.”

Smolko says it is hard to break into the screenplay world.

“It is difficult to get fund-ing unless your project has

well-known talent, and it’s dif-ficult to get talent unless your project is funded.”

In the meantime, Smolko has been busy writing “Geau-ga Lake: Sunrise to Sunset,” a history book about the for-mer Geauga Lake Amusement Park.

He grew up going to Geauga Lake with his family.

“It’s where we went for sum-mer vacations,” he says. “It was my first job.

“I was lying in bed one night thinking that my kids have nev-er been to a local amusement park.”

The writing process took about a year and Smolko wrote a chapter at a time. “I had a good outline of what I want-ed to fit in,” he says. “I do the same thing with my screen-plays. Once I started writing, the chapters really came to-gether.”

Joe Taylor, a historian and

the facilitator of GeaugaLake-Today.com, offered pictures, anecdotes and contacts.

“He really helped me a lot,” Smolko says. “Everyone has their own views about the park. I learned so much. There was an Olympic pool there at one time. I had no idea. A heavy weight boxer trained there and there was a race track. By the time we finished, it seems like every-one used to go to the park.”

Published by Cleveland Landmarks Press, “Geau-ga Lake: Sunrise to Sunset” is available at The Learned Owl Book Shop.

With the Geauga Lake book finished, Smolko is already looking ahead to his next major project. Reluctant to give away too many details, he would only hint at the subject matter, say-ing he is a huge Cleveland Cav-aliers fan. And Smolko says, if he’s passionate about a project, it basically writes itself.

HUDSON CITY SCHOOLS HOUSE PLETHORA OF TALENTED ARTISTS

Abby Henderson 1st grade

Aryana Patel Kindergarten

The arts are flourishing inside Hudson City Schools. From Evamere Elementary School to Hudson High School, talented artists are hard at work. Don’t get a chance to visit the schools often? Not a problem. We gathered up several pieces of artwork from each of the six city schools to share with the community. While we couldn’t include everything in this issue, we also put together a slide show on the Hudson Hub-Times website to show-case the rest. Make sure to stop by and check it out. There are some amazing young artists in town. We expect to see even more great things from them in the future.

“Most students who study the arts will not become professional artists, but the

arts promote gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking and verbal skills. Arts learning can also improve motivation, concentration, confidence and teamwork. It is more important now than ever that we give the kids a chance to be creative in schools.” - Jamie Davis, McDowell/East Woods art teacher
