JACOB NEAL |
 |
|
There
is a reason master colorist/stylist
Jacob Neal is celebrated by
many athletes. It is what landed him
guest appearances on Good Morning
America, The Other Half, and
E! Fashion Emergency. It is also
what led him to become a spokesperson
for Clairol for eighteen years. The
reason is this: Jacob Neal understands
professional sportswomen need gorgeous-looking
hair that can stand up to all kinds
of weather, a lot of strenuous movement
and a generally frenetic lifestyle.
His low maintenance, high-performance
philosophy accomplishes this with
precision-cut hair styles that look
great at the start, grow out in manageable
proportions, and lend themselves to
complete styling control and versatility
under almost any circumstances.
Jacob
earned his degree in Ohio at the Columbus
College of Art and Design and credits
this training for giving him the eye
for form, shape, and balance that
has made him a legend among female
sports stars. His name has adorned
prestigious salons around the country,
from his first at Hilton Head Resort
in South Carolina to the Sherry Netherland
Hotel in New York and to his ultimate
salon in Columbus, his "jumping-off
point" to anywhere in the country
that his clients summon him.
Jacob
works as a fashion and beauty consultant
for ABC affiliate WSYX-TV, where he
performs makeovers every week. His
ability to teach others quick and
easy-to-master techniques for controlling
and managing their own hair has made
him popular in teaching sessions for
hairdressers and consumers around
the country.
Jacob will discuss current hair trends
and even some Dancing with the
Stars since he has experience
as a ballroom dancer.

DEMETRIUS STANLEY
|
 |
|
From
ColumbusMag.com:
Every
football-season Saturday for the last
several years, Columbus has been infected
by the never-ending smile and equally
happy disposition of former Ohio State
wide receiver Demetrius Stanley.
A commentator for WSYXs Buckeye
Football Fever show, Stanley is known
for his flashy suits and realistic
opinions on sports that some OSU football
fans never want to hear.
Sometimes
I say something about the team that
might get a fan upset because they
think Im rooting against Ohio
State, Stanley says. I
always want to see Ohio State win
just as much as they doIm
just trying to be unbiased and do
my job.
His
stake in Ohio State started when his
father moved to Columbus so he could
coach under Earl Bruce, which led
to Stanley spending a lot of his childhood
around The Shoe and seeing a lot of
scarlet and gray.
I
remember when I was really little
seeing this tailback, Keith Byars,
practicing. Stanley says. His
legs looked like two big tree trunks
to methe guy was huge. It was
around that time that I realized that
I really wanted to play for OSU.
As
a star at Thomas Worthington, Stanley
made his dream come true when he decided
to go to OSU. By staying in the city
that he had called home for most of
his life, every home game became even
more meaningfulhe was playing
for OSU and for Columbus.
After
stints with the Miami Dolphins, the
Canadian Football League and the Arena
Football League, injuries made Stanley
focus on finding another career outside
of football. He found that in personal
training and is a principle owner
of SNAP fitness in Grandview Heights.
Growing
up here and playing for Ohio State,
this city has been very, very good
to me, Stanley says. I
dont see myself leaving anytime
soon.

 |
|
Sue
Doody, owner of Lindey's Restaurant
in German Village and author of As
the Table Turns, will address
the UA Women's Club on Friday, April
16 at 1:00 pm.
A
graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University,
Sue taught public school, catered
and taught cooking classes from her
home before opening Lindeys
in 1981.
Sues
passion for cooking was fueled in
classes with Betty Rosbottom at La
Belle Pomme, with Lisa Gallat at A
Matter of Taste, at Nancy Jeffreys
Good Things cook store, and at Columbus
State with chef Carolyn Claycomb.
But as her son Rick Doody, the CEO
of Bravo! Development Inc., remembers,
When WOSU began to air The French
Chef, I remember Mom and Dad ran out
to buy a new television so we could
have one in the kitchen, so Mom could
cook right along with Julia, reading
ahead in Julias Mastering the
Art of French Cooking so shed
have everything ready the moment the
program began.
The
Columbus Dispatchs Grumpy
Gourmet wrote, Since
opening
nightI have referred to Sue
as the Ella Brennan of Columbus
. (If Ellas Commanders
Palace exists in 2031, it will be
on a barge tied dockside in Baton
Rouge , and the original Palace in
New Orleans will be a spawning reef
for the fishes.) German Village and
Columbus are on high ground, like
the Doody legend.
But
beyond the admiration for her amazing
skills in the kitchen, Central Ohio
and the restaurant community have
long recognized Sue Doody for her
humanity and compassion. I believe
Ive always had a true feeling
about people, Sue says, in her
new book. Ive never treated
my staff as if they were merely employees.
I want to know about their families
and their life outside of Lindeysas
well as their life here. But I also
hope my interest in them communicates
that I hope they will treat our guests
with similar interest and compassion.
Sue and Lindeys have been supporters
of and patrons to nearly every nonprofit
in the Columbus , with particularly
generous contributions to Action for
Children, Columbus Symphony, BalletMet,
Opera Columbus, and the Columbus College
of Art and Design.
