Winter 2016 - Oglebay Institute

A Message from the President
At Oglebay Institute we deliver
programs that bring out the
potential of our patrons and
ultimately enhance the quality
of life and economic viability
of our region. I was pleased
to come across two quotes
in recent news articles that
underscore those very things.
Pictured at the Festival
of Trees media lunch
November 13 at the
Pine Room, Oglebay are
Wheeling Area Chamber
of Commerce president
and West Virginia delegate
Erikka Storch, left, and
Oglebay Institute president
Danielle McCracken.
The first was from a Madison
School student who
participates in the ANCHOR
afterschool program, which
exposes children to creative and
educational opportunities that
they otherwise might not have.
After an archeology program
presented by Oglebay Institute,
the young student exclaimed, “I
just had the best day ever!”
The second quote was from a bright, West Liberty
University student who recently completed an internship
with the Mansion Museum. She said, “I didn’t realize how
much history happened here in Wheeling. I loved it (the
internship) so much that I want to live in Wheeling.”
Oglebay Institute is proud to work collaboratively with
community partners to make opportunities like these
possible. These stories convey how the programs that we
deliver are transformative in individuals’ lives and in our
communities. As OI members and supporters, I thank you
for your role in helping to make these experiences possible.
A new year often brings with it new resolutions. These
may include learning something new, developing your
artistry, increasing physical activity, making new friends or
spending quality time with loved ones. If this is true for
you, Oglebay Institute is at the ready with a broad range
of offerings to help you fulfill your goals through hundreds
of performances, classes and workshops. We hope that you
will take advantage of all Oglebay Institute has to offer.
We look forward to growing with you in the coming year.
Sincerely,
Danielle Cross McCracken
Oglebay Institute President

STEAM Grants Fund OI Programs
in Area Schools
Thanks to two grants from
the West Virginia Division of
Culture and History, students
at three area high schools and
one elementary school will
participate free of charge in visual
arts programs taught by Oglebay
Institute instructors this spring.
The grants will fund multiweek “STEAM” programs,
which involve subjects known
collectively as “STEM” – science,
technology, engineering and
math – with the addition of art.
Stifel Fine Arts Center
director of art education
Brad Johnson with Madison
Elementary 3rd grade
students Kaylee Mueller and
Gary Long.
For students at Wheeling Park
High School, Wheeling Central
Catholic and John Marshall High School, OI will conduct
“The Science of Raku Ceramics.” In this four-week class,
students will be immersed in Japanese culture as they create
items of clay using the ancient raku technique, which involves
firing clay objects at low temperatures and removing them
from the kiln while still red-hot.
While creating art objects, students also will learn the science
involved in the firing process, how copper can affect the color
of ceramics and how temperature can affect its overall finish.
Technology is involved as students learn to use a pyrometer
and develop a PowerPoint presentation. A lesson on how to
build a raku kiln involves principles of engineering, and math
is used throughout as students convert glaze recipes from
percentages to grams and measure ingredients.
Madison Elementary School in Wheeling also received a
STEAM grant, to be used for OI to conduct programs in
dance, art, drama, history and nature as part of the school’s
ANCHOR after-school program.
Taking place during 70 visits over a 20-week timeframe,
classes will include 3-D animated movie-making, digital
photography, ceramics, nature and conservation, owl biology,
Native American life, improvisation, creative dramatics and
more. Students also will take field trips to OI’s Schrader
Environmental Education Center to experience maple
sugaring demonstrations, Towngate Theatre for live drama
and the Stifel Fine Arts Center for a tour of the building and
current exhibition.
The grants are part of the West Virginia Division of Culture
and History’s STEAM Power WV Program, made possible
by a grant to the Division from the Claude Worthington
Benedum Foundation.
Staff Highlights
Lee Presents at State Teachers Association
Conference
Moore Completes Supervisors’ Management
School
Robin Lee, education coordinator
at the Schrader Center, presented
at the West Virginia State
Teachers Association conference
in Flatwoods, West Virginia in
November.
Greg Moore, director of
youth programs at the
Schrader Center, recently
completed Supervisors’
Management School.
Presented by North
Carolina State University
in cooperation with the
National Recreation and
Park Association, SMS
Greg Moore
develops management and
supervisory skills. It was held at the National Training Center
at Oglebay Resort and Conference Center.
Titled “REACHing into the
Classroom,” Lee’s program outlined
OI’s REACH program, which
Robin Lee
annually serves 700 fifth grade
students in Marshall and Ohio counties. Lee discussed
program curriculum with attendees, which included science
teachers and informal science educators, and shared data on
how REACH has increased science-based knowledge among
participating students.
She concluded with an overview of a new partnership
between the Schrader Center and Marshall County Schools
that involves the design of science curricula for students in
grades 1-8 to meet the new West Virginia science standards.
The program, which is still in the design stage, is funded by a
grant from Chevron. Implementation is set for fall 2016.
Moore said the program helped him identify core
characteristics in himself and others and how to effectively
utilize those traits when managing people. Other highlights
included networking with other parks and recreation workers
from across the county, learning industry trends and learning
effective communication tools.
“The skills I learned through SMS will enable me to select
and retain the right employees and become a better employee
myself,” he explained.
Gift from Southwestern Energy Supports Summer Camps &
Glass Museum’s Educational Programming
Natural gas producer Southwestern Energy Company
recently donated $25,000 to Oglebay Institute to benefit
OI’s summer camps as well as educational programming and
outreach presented by OI’s Glass Museum.
Currently the third largest producer of
natural gas in the United States’ lower 48
states, including West Virginia’s northern
panhandle, Southwestern Energy is an
independent energy company primarily
engaged in natural gas and crude oil
exploration, development and production.
Eighty percent of the company’s generous gift – $20,000
– will help underwrite costs associated with OI’s summer
camps, with special emphasis on the Schrader Environmental
Education Center’s Nature Camps. The remaining $5,000
will enable OI to purchase new glassblowing equipment at
OI’s Glass Museum and support educational outreach in the
community through the “Hot Glass Roadshow” that travels to
area schools and community events.
Serving approximately 13,000 people each year, the OI
Glass Museum tells the story of Wheeling’s glass industry.
It contains the world’s largest and most
comprehensive collection of Wheeling glass,
along with a glassblowing studio. The studio
hosts demonstrations as well as glassblowing
programs that include workshops, classes,
and tours. Last year, Oglebay Institute served
1,521 individuals through its summer camp
programs in nature, drama, visual arts, history, and dance.
Thanks to the generosity of Southwestern Energy, thousands
of individuals spanning all ages will continue enjoying the
benefits of OI summer camps and glassblowing for years to
come.

The
of
OI Brings Master Teachers and
Nationally Recognized Artists
to Wheeling
Oglebay Institute’s School of Dance offers more classes
than any other studio in the area and engages dancers at
every stage of development– from tumbling tots in their first
introductory course to extremely focused students in OI’s
pre-professional ballet program. The school’s mission is to
train dancers to be artists and masters of their craft through
a curriculum that provides a strong foundation of technique
and teaches principles and practices that lead to a lifelong
love and appreciation for the art of movement.
“We focus completely on technique, not the completion of a
class or the preparation of a routine for a recital,” OI director
of dance Cheryl Pompeo said. “Those things don’t always
effectively make the student a better dancer. It only trains
them to do a repetitive series of motions. We don’t focus on
pageantry or competition. We focus on the art of dance,” she
said. “Our goal is to promote the personal development of
each student physically, intellectually and creatively.”
One of the ways this is accomplished is by providing
opportunities for students to study with master teachers
and highly accomplished artists from around the globe.
Opportunities include a Four Sunday Workshop Series,
a Summer Intensive Dance Program and various
specialty workshops throughout the year. Classes provide
opportunities, outside of regular class time, to stretch talents,
strengthen knowledge of various dance forms, deepen passion
for dance, broaden understanding of what it means to be a
dancer and gain insight into the world of professional dance.
Pompeo said studying with artists of this caliber provides
invaluable experiences that many of her students were
missing out on because of travel and lodging expenses. “Not
every dance family has the resources to travel across the
country for these types of workshops,” she said. “So we asked
ourselves, why can’t we bring these experiences to Wheeling?”

students from throughout the region. Enrollment in
specialty workshops is open to dancers of all skills levels and
is independent of whether or not students are enrolled yearround at OI.

First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare, on tour from
the Folger Shakespeare Library, Takes the Stage at OI’s Mansion Museum
Oglebay Institute is delighted to exhibit an original 1623 First
Folio from the Folger Shakespeare Library as part of First
Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare. This first-ever national
tour of one of the world’s most influential books celebrates
400 years of Shakespeare and his legacy. Oglebay Institute is
the only location in West Virginia for the First Folio! national
tour. The exhibition will be on display in the Sauder Gallery of
the Mansion Museum from May 9 to June 11.
The First Folio includes 36 Shakespeare plays, 18 of which
had never been printed before. Without the First Folio, all of
those plays – including Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night,
The Tempest, As You Like It, and more – might have been lost
forever. Compiled by two of his friends and fellow theater
colleagues, the First Folio was published seven years after
Shakespeare’s death in 1616.
Accompanying the rare book will be a multi-panel exhibition
exploring Shakespeare’s impact, then and now, with additional
digital content and
interactive activities.
Oglebay Institute will
complement the exhibit
with panels exploring
the connection between
“Wheeling and the
Bard,” artifacts from
“The Nelle Krise Rare
Book Collection” at West
Liberty University, a
Norton facsimile of the
First Folio for people
to touch and hold and a
stage area with props and
printed scenes to act out.

Member Spotlight: The Kenamond Family
Like many young people who leave their hometowns
to pursue educations or careers, Carter and Lori
Kenamond relocated to North Carolina in 2001 so
that Carter could complete a medical residency at
UNC Hospitals. But like many Ohio Valley natives
who value the quality of life here, they later returned
to settle in Wheeling, with their first child, Grant.
Left to right; Lori, Audrey,
Grant and Carter Kenamond.
“As a mother looking for activities for my young
son, getting involved with Oglebay Institute was
important to me,” Lori said. Once daughter Audrey
came along, the two youngsters were enjoying OI
children’s programs in every discipline.
The siblings’ favorite activity? Acting!
“Every year, when we ask, ‘What are we going to do this summer?’ their answer
is quick: ‘Acting camp!’” Lori laughs. Grant and Audrey, now ages 10 and 7
respectively, agree enthusiastically and tell of various roles played during summer
camps.
As a family, the Kenamonds also attend OI events like Maple Sugaring Day and
children’s productions at Towngate Theatre.
Mom and Dad also have found plenty to get involved with at OI. Lori has taken
knitting classes, and she’s a volunteer member of the Museums Committee.
Concerts are favorites as well. Carter, a musician himself, describes the Stifel
Center venue as “magical.” He is enthused about the return of Mountain Moon
Coffee House, which he discovered in 2007. The longstanding bluegrass concert
series ended soon thereafter when its organizer retired, but it returned in 2016.
The Kenamonds especially look forward to the May 7 Coffee House, when
Carter will perform with his band, the Marsh Wheeling String Band.
“We’re all very thankful for the wide variety of activities at Oglebay Institute,
and they’re so accessible,” Carter points out. “We love the ease of attending
quality events with live actors and musicians performing on a stage. At Oglebay
Institute, we really have big city service in a small town.”
