Playing It Forward

01 | Winter Edition 2014

Have you ever spotted this cool dude on a longboard zipping down York’s streets?

Avid longboarder and master musician Ralph Real (aka Ralph Washington) is that type of memorable personality, just like his idol, Stevie Wonder.

Next to the release of his new album, Nappy Love, Ralph’s latest venture gives back to the city he calls home — a music studio, located at 249 N. Newberry St., across from the YMCA. His partnership with Jesse Landis of Dover’s Assorted Studios is a twofold gift to York: an affordable, professional space to record music and an after-school venue to get kids off the streets and into the studio.

The studio environment, he says, gives kids the opportunity and the empowerment to better themselves and their community. “They get to understand the back end of the music business and what artists do to get their music out,” he says, in addition to creating meaningful experiences with positive role models who can impact their futures musically and personally.

Ralph envisions this studio as a studio for York’s citizens. The studio is where individuals can access the equipment and the talent needed to nurture their musical aspirations and contribute to a diverse musical community.

“I would like to see more of a collage of music,” he says. “There are so many talented urban musicians that people don’t get to see, and I want to see everyone share this love of music.”

Winter Edition 2014 | 02

They’re personal songs from personal moments — the soundtrack of her life.

They’ve shaped a new album, scheduled for release next year, that singer-songwriter Dana Alexandra says enabled her “to get more in touch with my roots and music I’ve grown up around …. They sound like home to me, a little more country and Americana.

“Writing this album, I felt a deeper understanding of the intricate ways of being human. There’s the bottom line — love of all kinds is the most important thing that exists — and the realization of how complicated we make it,” she says.

Listeners will likely find their own personal connections to songs like “Heavy”: “It started out as a lullaby I would hum to help another [person] fall asleep, and I found it soothing. It’s totally a grown-up lullaby.”

Producing the album at Think Loud Studios added another layer to the recordings’ rich tapestry. “Christopher Thorn was great to work with. He really listened to what I had to say and applied it to the album. We worked on creating what I had as demos into full-blown songs; Dave Krusen [original Pearl Jam drummer] ended up drumming on the record,” she says.

Dana fans, rest assured … she’s not abandoning open mics and live shows. You can still catch her at Bistro 19, Holy Hound Taproom, The Depot and F.H. Pappy’s. “They’re a great way to catch up with other musicians that you’re friends with. It’s cool to play a new song and get other musicians’ opinions about what they like,” she adds.

THINK LOUD STUDIOS210 York St.York, PA 17403

When did you last hear “Father of Mine,” “Rock Star” and “I Will Buy You a New Life”? Hard-core alternative/rock music fans would have no trouble recollecting those times and these tunes of ’90s-era band Everclear.

Today, Everclear is still ever popular. With fans continually flocking to the band’s performances at venues such as the Summerland Tour, a new album, Black Is The New Black, aims to give audiences the sounds “reminiscent of our records back in the day, with very hard-hitting lyrics,” says Everclear’s singer-songwriter Art Alexakis.

Incidentally, a Summerland Tour connected Everclear with another legendary ’90s rock band, LIVE.

“Chad Taylor was telling me about their studio [Think Loud Studios] and he said, ‘You’ve got to come record here.’ Being in that complex was

phenomenal, and the studio was one of the best I’ve ever worked in,” Alexakis says.

As the band’s front for close to two decades, Alexakis describes Black Is The New Black (set for a March 2015 release) as “the heaviest guitar-centric record I’ve ever made. It has a lot of passion and a lot of just unapologetic rock-and-roll.”

As for fan response to the new album, “The record will really turn some heads,” he says. “I think the momentum for us right now is off the charts.”

You bet it is. Even a Funny or Die parody video featuring a clip of Everclear’s performance of “The Man Who Broke His Own Heart” generated a huge response.

“People are still going, ‘Wow, man. You are still making music. That’s awesome,’” he says.

Art Alexakis of Everclear shares musical insights with junior MIRT majors Stefan Del Conte and Allison Hutchison at Think Loud Studios.

It´s the instrument bridging the

pathway between talent & livelihood.

It’s York College’s innovative Bachelor of Science degree program in the Music Industry and Recording Technology (MIRT). To a student musician seeking gainful employment in the music industry after graduation, the program hits all the right notes.

Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Dominic DelliCarpini says the program presents the “business savvy and technical skills of music production” and provides real-world opportunities to work with industry professionals in music production and performance venues.

“Once students get the know-how and experience, they can then create their own mark in the music industry,” says Dr. Ken Osowski, department of Communication and the Arts chair.

This fall, York added another faculty member to its music industry roster: Dr. Shawn David Young, assistant professor of music and the program’s coordinator. A former professor at Clayton State University, Young’s work with emerging artists has given him insight into how the recording industry nurtures talent developed within a college environment.

Young says York College’s blend of the liberal arts with a professional approach to studying and working in the music


industry will benefit students all around. “Employers don’t just look at a degree; they look at experience,” he says. “This is practical, engaged learning that’s going to help students in the future.”

Osowski adds the program is also forging connections with the greater York community.

“There’s a lot of excitement surrounding downtown, and First Friday is a big thing. We have the opportunity to make more relationships with what’s going on downtown

with music,” he says.“The arrival of Think Loud

[and LIVE] … opens up further possibilities for collaboration with proven professionals in the field,” DelliCarpini says. “We look forward to ongoing collaborations with individuals that can work with our faculty and students to mentor them in the real-world practicalities of this ever-developing field.”


At work, there are the staccato taps of the keyboard, the harmonic chords of voices in conversation and the rhythmic scratches of pen tip against paper. On stage, there are the melodies of woodwinds and brass, the punctuations of percussion and the serenades from strings. In each case, the music is made when the parts come together in concert to create a unifying whole.

As an avid cellist, CGA Law Firm Attorney Richard K. Konkel has a long-standing association with the York Symphony Orchestra, having joined the symphony in 1992. His connection with the cello — an instrument he’s played since fourth grade — can be likened to the nine years of being connected to his CGA Law Firm practice of family law, estate planning and administration, municipal law, and real estate law.

On the CGA Law Firm stage, Konkel is a trusted advisor. Like the time spent practicing his cello, Konkel takes the time to understand his clients on a personal level, providing support and legal counsel in the midst of life’s challenges. On the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center stage this holiday season, the master musician takes the time to create beautiful music together with the York Symphony Orchestra.

Focus, discipline, fundamentals, listening and communicating: Whether mastering a difficult musical score or mastering a difficult client case, these qualities resonate with both a musician’s practice and an attorney’s practice. For Konkel, both provide opportunities to share his musical skills, legal expertise and time with the York community.

That’s dedication to the practice.

Gifts for every woman, gifts for every budget … it’s a heavenly holiday shopping match at Arthur & Daughters.

Locally produced, handcrafted, chunky knit alpaca hats from the Arthur & Daughters Private Label Collection banish wintertime hat-hair maladies. Custom-made dresses, also Private Label Collection wear, are truly personalized gifts that never go out of style.

Fashionable furs serve a dual purpose: Worn today, they help ward off chills from winter’s polar vortex. Preserved for tomorrow, they become a family heirloom — a gift for future generations.

“These are all unique gifts you won’t find anywhere else,” attests owner Hilary Arthur.

Reflections OfBEAUTY


Leather and lace: Juxtaposing texture and color is what designer and Sweet Melissa’s Dream owner Melissa Grove loves about her dress creation modeled here.

“Leather gives a tough image, but try mixing it with soft, luscious lace,” she says, for a look uniting two polar design opposites.

Speaking of polar, Grove’s boutique is like a winter reverie this time of year. Fashionable shoes and waxed canvas and leather bags beg to be paired with your wardrobe comings and goings this holiday season.

There’s also the perennially popular Lenny & Eva “salvaged sentiments” jewelry line, the attractive Marcia Fowler Archetypes collection and the gleaming gemstone jewelry of artist Tara Chickey.

“Having stuff that has its unique beauty, very bohemian and very earthy, is definitely our style,” she says.

“We have phenomenal clothing items and other artifacts from the Trust’s collection, and we’ll have mini displays on exhibit that night,” says Melanie Hady, the Trust’s Director of Marketing and Public Relations. “It’s a great way to see what was happening in York County in the 1920s.”

York Arts

For more than 25 years, YorkArts has been supporting artists of all disciplines and making the arts accessible to the York community through arts education classes, outreach programs, exhibits, events and other activities.

Executive director Kevin A. Lenkner sees the organization as a cultivator of creativity. Spaces like the organization’s art gallery and events such as the Creative York Awards are two of the many ways the organization “shines a light on the great creative work for the community,” according to Lenkner.

To nurture creativity, YorkArts hosts bimonthly Creative Happy Hours and enrichment programs for children and adults. These opportunities give residents of all ages the avenues to manifest the creative potential inside them through painting, pottery, crafts, dance, poetry, photography, theater and more.

Lenkner sees YorkArts continuing to evolve as the organization enters the new year. “We’re changing our curriculum to incorporate more creative exercises. The skills you get from creativity — problem solving, teamwork, collaboration — have a lot of relevancy to 21st-century job skills,” he says. “Companies want people to be more creative and innovative. We see ourselves being the home where you can learn creativity and creative expression, and we’re in the process of getting ready to expand our reach to more neighborhoods and communities in York County.”

IT’S AT THE HEART OF THE DOERS, LEADERS, ENTREPRENEURS, ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS WHO LIVE AND WORK IN YORK — CREATIVITY. CREATIVITY HAS THE POWER TO MOTIVATE, TO DRIVE INNOVATION, TO FOSTER COLLABORATION AND TO UNITE A COMMUNITY. CREATIVITY IS LIKE THE COMMODITY AND CURRENCY BEHIND YORKARTS.

Kohr enjoys the diverse bar guests he greets — the dinner-friendly diners at happy hour and the younger crowd at night’s end. Two of his drink specialties take top honors at this time of year: the Smokin’ Apple and the Pumpkin Pie Martini.

The Smokin’ Apple melds Old Republic Distillery apple pie moonshine, Fireball cinnamon whiskey and apple cider. The Pumpkin Pie Martini is a RumChata mix blended with homemade pumpkin purée, vodka and a touch of Goldschläger and cream. Shaken, strained, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkled with pumpkin pie spice, this treat in a graham cracker-rimmed glass rivals its pastry counterpart.

Pope receives rave reviews for her Sugar Cookie Martini. With its whipped vodka base, the drink is served inside a sprinkle-rimmed martini glass.

“Usually when I’m trying to come up with drink ideas, I’ll go on the Internet and look up ideas, then put our White

Rose spin on them,” she says. “It’s the knowledge [Aaron and I] have of what flavors pair well together.”

The holidays are meant for spending time with family and friends. For Kohr and Pope, surrounded by their extended White Rose family, every day they work can seem like a holiday.

“It’s a family atmosphere. I have a lot of pride working here because of all the positive things White Rose does for the community,” Kohr says.

“I’ve been here 6 1/2 years and have watched this place grow. We have some of the best bartenders in York County, and they make White Rose an enjoyable place to visit,” Pope adds.


It’s a celebration #tbt trenta. For 30 years, Victor’s has been a piece of Mediterranean paradise in York. This occasion offered co-owners Mark and Marie Sindicich and Ann Marie and Sam Yost an opportunity to mark a momentous milestone together with their staff and customer family.

With complimentary butlered hors d’oeuvres and drink specials, this early autumn celebration complemented Victor’s “throwback menu” offerings. Diners got a peek into the past with appetizers and entrées from the early days, all presented following the original menu layout.

“Mark, Sam, Ann Marie and I are excited to be celebrating Victor’s 30th anniversary. It has been a fantastic night of visiting with our patrons as we express our gratitude for their support for Victor’s and us,” Marie says. “It is an opportunity to honor the vision of its founders, Eunice and Hal Fitzkee, and celebrate the growth and success Victor’s has had under our guidance these past 7 1/2 years.”

Since its opening on July 6, 1984, Victor’s has been renowned in York for its hearty, home-cooked Mediterranean specialties and

jovial atmosphere. From the inviting conversation bar to the bocce courts and Bella Patio, each element, past and present, is uniquely Victor’s.

The holidays bring a special tradition that both Ann Marie and Marie look forward to each year — the traditional Christmas Eve caroling complete with servings of Victor’s legendary eggnog.

Perhaps it’s tradition that has been the unifying force transcending generations of Victor’s diners; each adds his or her own voice to the Victor’s story.

“We look forward to continuing Victor’s traditions, while striving to be inventive and creative going forward,” Marie adds.

“We have worked hard to continue to build on the legacy of a great place for people to enjoy themselves, and it’s been an honor doing so,” Ann Marie says. “Thank you for celebrating 30 years with us!”


IT’S BARBECUE WORTH HOWLING ABOUT!If you’re a food truck follower, chances are you’ve spotted Baron Von Schwein’s big bad wolf food truck on York’s streets. Last July, the best of the food truck experience was brought to a brick-and-mortar storefront on West Market Street under the same name.

The York restaurant is like “the food truck turned inside out,” says owner Jordan Pfautz. While their bold food truck graphics put a personal stamp on the interior design, the décor also features repurposed wood elements from the historic Rosenmiller Building.Devotees can definitely get their fill of the Baron’s signature pork buns, or Char Siu Bao, here. Described as the “perfect food truck food,” Pfautz says this barbecue take on dim sum got its inspiration from his Philadelphia Chinatown visits. The baked sweet bun stuffed with slow-smoked pulled pork — with your choice of sweet or spicy sauce — already has a reputation throughout the region.

Those hankering for home cooking won’t be disappointed by the Baron’s homemade sides: mac and cheese, coleslaw and baked corn, a soufflé-like rendition of Southern spoonbread or corn pudding.Even the sodas are homemade using soda syrup zipped with the essence of fresh fruits and spices. Crafted by bartending Pfautz friend Tim Gerz, sodas like vanilla bean-honey, cranberry-strawberry, and spiced cherry root beer make soothing refreshments to round out the Baron’s savory spread.

Pfautz and general manager Henry Swartz have also been experimenting with a rotating specials menu that allows them to flex their culinary muscles. And just in time for the holidays, Pfautz will deliver a pork bun reminiscent of a holiday dinner plate packed inside a bun — complete with gravy, stuffing and cranberries.

Now that’s a “howl-iday” treat you can really sink your teeth into.

Foodies' Feast


Refindings: York’s Architectural Warehouse is a 12,000-square-foot paradise for collectors. Dedicated to preserving, restoring and repurposing objects from the past, Refindings accepts a number of donations each year on behalf of the nonprofit Historic York: vintage mantels, lighting fixtures, stained glass, ironwork and more. This list barely represents the thousands of artifacts, antiques and perhaps a holiday present or two available for members of the public to purchase.

The Architectural Warehouse was once solely an Historic York operation. In 2011, however, a collective of seven individuals, many of them previous Historic York board members, purchased the warehouse from Historic York. Today, Olde York Homes, Rudy Art Glass, Circa Antiques and Historic York comprise this collective — the heart and soul of Refindings.

Gary L. Geiselman, founder of Olde York Homes, and Refindings manager Lou Girolami possess keen eyes for unique treasures to welcome into Refindings.

REFINDINGS: YORK’S ARCHITECTURAL WAREHOUSE @refindings /refindings refindings.com465 Prospect St. York, PA 17403717.854.7152

Saviorssalvage

For more than three decades, Geiselman’s own work in historic restoration and renovation has placed the salvaged parts and pieces of York’s architectural history literally into his hands. An expert at the art of the salvage, Girolami develops close connections with his customers, keeping an eye out for items customers either collect or have admired in the past.

Refindings has the mélange attracting DIYers who revel in turning old things into good things. Additionally, on-site restoration specialists help customers adapt antiques to the demands of contemporary use.

When you visit Refindings, you begin to appreciate and understand how maintaining the past is a major part of its mission, a mission inspired largely by Yo rk’s past and its present revival.


the making of a makerspace

Working Class


This future has arrived thanks to Working Class. Born out of a partnership between Rudy Art Glass (with co-owner Steve Mitchell) and

Salvaging Creativity, Working Class will be a member-based, industrial design fabrication and education center open to members of the York community. The makerspace will house the equipment, tools, training and talent to nurture and support York’s creative class.

A woodshop, metal shop and digital design studio will all be housed at 15 E. Philadelphia St. From welding and glass cutting to 3D printing and woodworking, Working Class is both education and hands-on fabrication.

“This is going to be a classroom space and shop,” says Patrick Sells of Salvaging Creativity. “Many people have the skills, but they may not have access to the tools or the resources.” In addition to the physical workspaces themselves, a planned gallery retail space at 25 E. Philadelphia St. will give artists a venue to bring their creations to market.

“It’s also about opening up this building to the community. One of the main goals for us is to leverage this space as a downtown asset for the public and to get people to interact with this building,” says Erin Casey of Rudy Art Glass.

With a planned December soft opening, this makerspace is set to make an indelible mark on York’s creative arts future.

Working Class /workingclassyork @workingclassyork workingclassyork.com15 E. Philadelphia St.York, PA 17401717.843.3345

Picture a place where designers, fabricators and artists unite to transform dreams into realities. Imagine the possibilities of a place that can literally put tools into the hands of people who can physically shape York’s creative arts future.


StarscopesFair tidings to you, dear readers. ’Tis the most enchanting time of year — you know snowflakes swirling, candy canes twirling and all that jazz. But don’t let these traditional holiday trappings distract you from what’s really going on in the heavens. That Karmic soul Saturn’s shift from Scorpio to Sagittarius come late December is going to rock some worlds like no Dick Clark Rockin’ New Year’s Eve show ever could. Herewith we present our starscopes as we close out 2014.

(OK, you were expecting some dramatic ending to this, but the sugar plum fairy took a holiday. What can we say?)


SCORPIO | 10.23 - 11.21Time to bid adieu to Saturn, fair Scorpio. But don’t be breaking into “Auld Lang Syne” just yet. The holidays pack plenty of opportunity for a little night out in the Seventh House Café. Before stepping out, a new wardrobe might just be that

pre-Christmas gift you give to yourself. How’s that for being merry?

SAGITTARIUS | 11.22 - 12.21You’ll be doing more than greeting Saturn with a festive wreath on your Seventh House door! You’re undergoing a top-down transformation yourself, and what better gift could you get this holiday than a fresh approach to life and a restored sense of balance? Break out the champagne; you and Saturn have some

celebrating to do!

CAPRICORN | 12.21 - 01.20Are you just dreading another ho-hum holiday, Capricorn? Maybe a little destination vacation might be just what you need to put some color back in your cheeks. Be a little adventurous; nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves aren’t the only spices of life. And do watch out for that unexpected gift from Mercury (he

likes to play Santa too!).

AQUARIUS | 01.21 - 02.18Sweet Aquarius, this season has you feeling extra generous as the winter solstice approaches. Show the downtown merchants a little love with your gift purchases. Make date night a night out at the Strand. Or do something good for a charity near and dear to your heart. What a way to fill your Seventh House with warmth

this winter!

PISCES | 02.19 - 03.20There’s a certain twinkle in your eye there, Pisces. Eggnog aside, you’ve got a lot buzzing inside you lately, and now’s a good time to start prioritizing for the new year. Despite winter’s chill, a special gift this season will warm you to the gills. Ah, but we promised Mercury not to let on more than we know on that front!

ARIES | 03.21 - 04.20Listen for it, Aries. No, we’re not talking Santa’s sleigh bells here. It’s the words of a loved one or a trusted confidant you’ll need to heed. Making and keeping those connections you have will be better than any gift you could get or give this season. Hey, don’t let the holiday hoopla in your Seventh House run you

ragged either.

TAURUS | 04.21 - 05.20Cheers, Taurus! You rocked 2014. With all you accomplished, you deserve a little

celebration for yourself. Why not start 2015 out on a high note by taking time now to get your personal health in check? We know you can be (dare we say) bullish about it,

but hey, Taurus, you gotta be well to run with the best of them.

GEMINI | 05.21 - 06.20Whoa there, Gemini! Your holiday to-do list is filling up faster than Santa’s naughty-and-nice list. Put down the credit cards, untangle yourself from the tinsel, take a deep breath

and take time for you and your thoughts. Perhaps a little stargazing in your Seventh House may be just what’s needed to illuminate some much-needed passion between you

and that special someone in your life.

CANCER | 06.21 - 07.22Saturn’s cosmic shifts this season may just bode some shifting in your own life come early 2015. In the midst of the holiday hubbub, it’s time for some overdue cleaning of your Seventh House. After all, you’ll want to enter into the new year with your claws

open. Reward yourself by imbibing in a few seasonal indulgences (White Rose, anyone?) in moderation.

LEO | 07.23 - 08.23My dear, Leo! What’s keeping you caged up lately? It’s time to let out your mighty roar

and break free of whatever’s got a grip on your mojo. Like we advised Aries, a little one-on-one time with someone you trust can work wonders. Romance this season will get your Seventh House rockin’ again, and hey, that’s reason enough for a celebration.

Cheers!

VIRGO | 08.24 - 09.22The downtown shops are calling your name, Virgo. Just keep a close eye on your

spending; you don’t want your mind doing its own cosmic dance come January. Despite the activities in the heavens above, things on terra firma might be a little quiet for you this season. Don’t despair: It’s a great time for deep thinking over a cup of hot cocoa.

LIBRA | 09.23 - 10.23Libra, we know you’ve got a plate fuller than what you get from grandma’s holiday dinner table, but hear us out. Schedule a little family time on your running list of things you’re trying to get done before the year ends. Be careful for what that saucy Mercury might

be dishing out this season; a new acquaintance may not merit all your time and attention.

EMBRACING Ahappiness revolution

“WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE IN THE NEW YEAR AND WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO BE THAT PERSON?”

That’s the question Lisa Taylor, president and founder of Evolution Power Yoga (EPY), poses to you as 2014 comes to a close. Why stop at a resolution when you can embrace a revolution?

In January, the popular Baron Baptiste “40 Days to a Personal Revolution” program returns to EPY. While being “personal” to support your unique dreams and goals, the program is anything but a solitary activity.

Participants become part of a supportive group that meets weekly. You won’t be alone in your journey toward living your most authentic self.

“You learn so much from what people share. There’s a lot to be said for supporting one another in your personal growth,” Taylor says.

Topics in the “40 Days to a Personal Revolution” include developing a personal yoga practice, adapting your diet and personal wellness routine, practicing meditation, and letting go of limiting beliefs stifling the personal power from within.

Taylor says she believes those who allow themselves to become fully immersed in “40 Days to a Personal Revolution” will find a renewed sense of awareness in their lives.

“There’s no better time than now to be happy,” she says. “This is a happiness revolution.” Take control of your own revolution! Sign up in person at the York or Lancaster

studios, or online at evolutionpoweryoga.com/40-day-program.
