Some still leery of where COTA will go By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Two of those on a citizens working group seeking to assist COTA officials in finding a replacement location for a bus turnaround on North High Street in the vicinity of Graceland Shopping Center went into a meeting last week with a good deal of skepticism.
They left somewhat mollified, but … Prior to the session last week with COTA chief executive officer William J. Lhota, Sharon Heights Community Association president Keith Beveridge said he felt the meeting was a “little overdue” and complained about a lack of communication from transit authority officials. For her part, Clintonville Area Commission District 9 representative D Searcy
said that she was “hoping they will be clear about is exactly what is it that they are looking to build” at the oft-delayed meeting, which was facilitated by State Rep. John Patrick Carney, D-Clintonville. After the meeting, at which members of the public offered COTA representatives three possible alternatives to the strip shopping center that had been targeted for the turnaround last summer, Searcy
and Beveridge said that they thought things went well, but expressed some continued reservations. COTA board members, faced with vehement opposition to the real estate transaction that would have resulted in relocating or closing down several businesses to make way for the bus facility, voted unanimously in July to shoot that idea down.
COTA administrators, in the wake of that rejection, vowed to do a better job of gaining the trust and cooperation of the community. Their goal is to find a place where buses can turn around when, at some point down the road, Graceland Shopping Center is no longer an option.

Accomplished poet found inspiration from much-loved pet By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Poet will read from her works
As Charlene Fix was completing work on a book of poetry, the inspiration for it, her dog Bruno, sickened and eventually died. She continued to write through Bruno’s illness and even, at the urging of an editor, composed a “death poem” for inclusion in the book. And there it is near the end, in all its heart-rending clarity for any who have loved a pet knowing that bidding them farewell is a sad part of the equation. “All the Intruders in the World” concludes with:
Poet Charlene Fix of the Clintonville area will be giving a reading from her works at the Rumba Café on Monday, Feb. 21. She will be appearing as part of the winter 2011 Poetry Forum at the café, 2507 Summit St. The readings begin at 7 p.m. The Poetry Forum has been a staple at the Rumba Café since 1984, making it the longest-running poetry venue in Columbus, according to Fix. For more information, call (614) 268-5006.
Ten years you protected me from postmen and familiars. You wagged and warned and slurped my nose and chin And professed, stoutly wrapped in fur, Your metronomic heart. Now the portal Is unguarded, and all the intruders in the world Can enter. Here comes the cat. She sprawls on my chest, trying to absorb my fear. Clintonville-area resident Charlene Fix is a professor at the Columbus College of Art and Design, as well as chair of the English and Philosophy department. She teaches writing, literature, poetry, and film and literature. Fix was born in Washington, D.C., where her parents met during World War II. Her mother was from Manitoba, Canada, and her father from Waterville, Maine. The two corresponded while he was in Hawaii dur-
ing the war, and Fix feels perhaps her affinity for the written word stems from that. “I think they fell in love through letters,” Fix said. She and her only sibling, a sister, grew up in the Cleveland suburb of South Euclid. “We weren’t steeped in all the great children’s literature, but we were read to,” Fix recalled. Her career path was fixed early. “I knew I wanted to be an English teacher in the third grade,” Fix said. She was writing poetry even at that age, inspired by her teacher. Fix attended Ohio State University, where she earned bachelor of science and master’s degrees. After serving as an adjunct faculty member, Fix taught for a decade at Bishop Watterson High School before going to CCAD nearly a quarter of a century ago. Between the teaching and having three children with her husband of now 40 years, Patrick Fix, a retired OSU English teacher and librarian, Charlene Fix took a 10-year hiatus from writing. Then one day she bought “reams and reams of paper” and has been filling it ever since. Fix said that she requires long stretches of absolute
solitude in order to write poetry, and so waited until her youngest child was in school. Unlike most modern poets, Fix does not have a master of fine arts degree. “My MFA was reading and finding poets I liked, and reading them deeply,” she said. Fix is also one of now six members of a group, the “House of Toast Poets,” who meet once a month to share their work and offer criticism and encouragement. The others are Fred Andrele, Jerry Roscoe, M.J. Abell, Linda Fuller-Smith and Jacquelin Smith, and they’ve been getting together for about 15 years. Fix did not intend to have a dog, let alone one that would inspire an entire book of poetry, but allowed herself to be talked by a CCAD student into taking one of two puppies found in a box on some church steps. Fix soon found herself taking two slow, contemplative walks a day with the dog she named Bruno. “A lot of poems came out of those walks,” she said. One day over coffee with CCAD philosophy professor Susan G. Josephson, Fix happened to mention the more than 50 poems that Bruno had inspired over the years. Joseph-
son asked to look at them, and ended up putting the poems in order by season and creating illustrations to go with them. That “Flowering Bruno: A Dogography” got published at all is somewhat unlikely. A book of poems, let alone focused largely on a dog, isn’t exactly the next Tom Clancy potboiler or the latest bestselling legal thriller from John Grisham. On top of that, no university press and very few small presses, the primary source for books of poetry, will touch an illustrated one. Finally, however, in 2006 XOXOX Press of Gambier brought out “Flowering Bruno.” The title is derived from a family outing to Goodale Park during which one of Fix’s daughters, Sonya, fashioned a garland of flowers for Bruno, only to have the nonswimming dog take an ill-advised plunge into the pond. The book, which was designed by another daughter, Madeleine Fix, was a finalist for the 2007 Ohioana Book Award in Poetry. It is also, Charlene Fix believes, a fitting tribute to a much-loved companion. “He was my muse,” she said. Fix is also the author of a chapbook of poems, entitled “Mischief” published by Pudding House Publications of Columbus. Her latest manuscript of poems, for which she is seeking a publisher, is called “The Spent Music of Light,” which is divided into poems on myth, poems on books and poems on films. Finally, Fix is currently working on a critical nonfiction study of Harpo Marx. And she has another dog, a collieshepherd mix named Sasha. “My sister made me,” Fix said.

In a Facebook posting about Baer Wheels rolling on up High Street to a new Clintonville location, someone referred to it as a “really, really old shop with a new look.” “Really?” owner David Baer thought. He doesn’t feel all that old, nor does he think his enterprise, which celebrated a 20th anniversary on Jan. 1, exactly dates back to the horse and buggy era. Nevertheless, Baer Wheels does have a new look and a new location. The business — which not only sells a variety of brands of new bicycles, accessories and apparel, but also offers maintenance, upgrades and even custom builds — has moved from 3030 N. High St. to 3510 N. High St. The latter was home to Areopagitica Books. Owners Doug and Rebecca Rutledge were forced to close the vintage and antiquarian book shop in late August after not quite seven years in business. Baer moved the store, which was initially located on Weber Road when it opened Jan. 1, 1990, for several reasons. “The biggest being that the old store was 1,500 square feet approximately and this space is about 3,600 square feet, and we needed the room desperately,” Baer said. The inventory had outgrown the old location, he said. When people are interested in a specific purchase, he said, and they come into a retail store. If they don’t find the right size or color in stock, “that kind of deflates the buying procedure a little.” The display space for bicycles in the new digs is almost triple that of the old, accommodating about 70 bikes — up from about 25, according See BIKE SHOP REPLACES, page A2
Ecological food association to host event The Clintonville-based Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association’s 32nd annual conference, “Inspiring Farms, Sustaining Communities,” will take place Feb. 19-20 in Granville. This event will feature nationally recognized keynote speakers Joan Dye Gussow and Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens, over 70 workshops, a trade show, organic and locally sourced meals, a kids’ conference, on-site childcare, and evening entertainment on Saturday. Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens made the transition from conventional farming to leading experts in organic production. Farming organically since 1993, they raise about 1,400 acres of corn, soybeans, small grains, and other crops as well as heifers, pigs and chickens in Penn Yan, N.Y. The Martens’ venture into organic farming led them to start an organic grain business in 1996. Lakeview Organic Grain has expanded to supply more than 300 organic farmers in central New York and is the state’s only dedicated organic feed mill and organic seed operation. Gussow was one of the first people to envision, teach and write about a local, organic, whole food system, earning her the title “matriarch of the modern day food movement,” according to OEFFA proSee WORKSHOP, page A2

Some still leery of where COTA will go from here Continued from page A1 ing of a Jan. 14 letter from Don M. Casto say that eventually redevelopment of Graceland would prevent COTA buses from continuing to turn around there. “I was pleased to hear him say that basically they would look at all options,” Searcy said late last week, referring to Lhota. She was less pleased, she said, that Lhota seemed to reject many suggestions that came from those attending. She also hopes COTA officials view the three suggestions taken away from the meeting as just that, suggestions. The community has not given a final stamp of approval to any of them, Searcy said. The sites COTA officials identified as possibilities for further evaluation by consultants include the former Taco Bell restaurant that’s located within Graceland but on property not owned by the Casto Co., a site on the east side of North High Street near the former Melting Pot restaurant and
the Stan Bradham Car Co. lot. Stan Bradham himself appeared and suggested the deal. “I thought it was interesting that Mr. Bradham was an option, but he didn’t say what his price was,” Searcy said. “Most things are for sale, given the right price.” I’m happy that we had our first meeting,” Beveridge said. “I think it was at least a step in the right direction. I’d like to see a lot more happen. There’s a lot of uncertainty about a lot of things.” These include long-range regional and local planning issues, the specter of the Bethel-Morse connector rising once again, rail plans and other transportation issues. Beveridge said that he would like to see Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission representatives as well as Don Casto sit down at future meetings with members of the working group. “I feel as though while COTA said that they are willing and they want to listen to the community, I still feel as though we’re two companies who have merged and
they own about 99 percent of the company, and know that, because the decision is ultimately up to them,” Beveridge said. Searcy said that she would like to see something other than just a piece of property on which to turn buses around explored as an alternative to what COTA officials say they need, including creating possible alternative routes for the buses that now change directions in the shopping center parking lot. “I just think they need to think outside the box,” she said. Still, Searcy said, members of the community, not just those on the working group, had the chance to be heard on the issue. “It was an opportunity for people to vent frustrations,” Searcy said. “I’m glad that the broader community had an opportunity to come and here what COTA had to say, because I think there’s a need for them to see transparency. “At this point, people in this area are very guarded about trusting COTA.”

Continued from page A1 gram director Renee Hunt. She is a nutrition educator, author, gardener, Mary Swartz Rose Professor Emeritus and former chair of the Columbia University Teachers College Nutrition Department. Gussow is the author of “This Organic Life,” “The Feeding Web” and “Chicken Little, Tomato Sauce and Agriculture: Who Will Produce Tomorrow’s Food?” The keynote address by the Martens, titled “Living Upstream: Decision-Making on an Organic Farm” will take place Feb. 19 at 4 p.m. They will share their philosophy on soil health management, crop rotation, weed control and marketing. Gussow’s keynote address, “Where Have We Been, Where Are We going?” will take place Feb. 20 at 2:45 p.m. She will share what it was like in the early days of the organic and local food movement, and talk about its connection to current issues, such as climate change. She will also explore some of today’s challenges to establishing an ecologically sound food system. In addition, the annual conference will feature more than 70 other educational workshops and cooking demonstrations. Conference registration is now open.

Continued from page A1 to the owner. “We did a significant amount of work,” Baer said of converting the former bookshop into a bike shop. The new site provides additional service area in the back, he said, and two full repair stations have been added. “We can stock, store and display a lot more bicycles,” Baer said. With a growing interest in bicycling in the past few years failing to couple with any growth in the space available at 3030 N. High, Baer said that he’s been on the lookout for a new site for the past several years, even one outside of Clintonville. “I had thought about possibly going to another area, but this seems like the logical choice at the time,” Baer said. While hardly feeling like Baer Wheels is “really, really old,” the owner had to admit that his business certainly has some years on all the new shops that have sprung up like mushrooms in recent years all over town. “It’s made me the old traditional shop, which is striking for me,” Baer said. Groups advocating increased bicycling and the “green movement” certainly helped to get more people interested in owning bikes. “Gas prices helped tremendously a couple of years ago,” Baer said. “So it was sort of a perfect storm for bicycle retailers.” kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

County auditor’s office preparing for 2011 property reappraisals Wherever I visit, whenever I talk, property owners in Franklin County ask me the same question and nine times out of 10, it is the first question they ask. “The real estate market seems to be struggling,” they start, “so I should expect to see my property taxes go down as well, correct?” I do not particularly like to disappoint people, nor will I ever be dishonest with them. “No matter what happens with the upcoming 2011 reappraisal,” I say, “You should not expect any significant fluctuation in your tax bill.” The Franklin County Auditor’s Office is in the process of reappraising all of the more than 438,000 parcels of property in the county. When we release new values in the middle of this coming summer, homeowners can expect a new fair market value for their homes. We will mail a letter informing owners what our appraisers have estimated the home would sell for if it were to be placed on the open market. Most property owners can expect that their values will be changed. Many people believe that if a new, higher value is established, their tax bill will be in-
creased at a similar percentage to the value increase. Conversely, if the value is lowered, they expect their CLARENCE tax bill to be E. MINGO II similarly lower. Unfortunately, neither assumption is true. Ohio law is designed to protect both taxpayers and taxing jurisdictions during periods of rapid change in the real estate market. In a rising market, owners’ tax bills do not increase at the same rate as the rise in values and when the values decrease, tax bills do not decrease at the same percentage as the decline in values . House Bill 920 was passed nearly 40 years ago. It protects both owners and taxing jurisdictions through a tax rate adjustment called “the reduction factors.” Any property owner concerned about their 2010 tax bill or the 2011 reappraisal is welcome to call 614-525-HOME (4663) to speak to a member of my staff. I always encourage individuals to research House Bill 920. There is a wealth of information on the
Internet that discusses the impact of the bill and most importantly, how the reappraisal will not affect, in any significant measure, how much you pay in property taxes. After values are set later this year, we will set up sites in various communities within the county to give residents the opportunity to come in and talk about the value we have tentatively set for their property. If we find we are in error, we can and will make changes to that particular value. Property owners will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with an appraiser from our office at the “informal reviews.” We always encourage property owners to bring in any information that would help us understand their concerns. We will take a careful look at the information provided by the owner as well as other sources of market information to assure fair and equitable valuations, making changes as appropriate. It’s a very user-friendly process. This summer, every property owner in Franklin County will receive a letter from our office letting them know the proposed new value of their property. We want people to take the value notice se-

Abram was part of an intriguing McDowell family in Civil War era Traveling west across the Broad Street bridge to the Franklinton neighborhood across the Scioto River from downtown Columbus, one will soon encounter a northsouth thoroughfare called McDowell Street. This is not a story about this street in the oldest part of downtown Columbus — the part that dates to 1797. It is about one of the people who gave the street its name. To Civil War buffs, the name of Irvin ED McDowell will be reaLENTZ sonably well known. After the outbreak of what Southerners always delight in calling “the late unpleasantness” — or more to the point, the “War of Northern Aggression” — the commanding general of America’s armies had a small problem. General Winfield Scott, “Old Fuss and Feathers,” had fought his way through every conflict the United States had seen since the War of 1812. By 1861, he was old, tired and desperately in need of a combat commander. He offered the job to Robert E. Lee, in his view the best soldier in the country, but Lee turned him down — reluctantly but firmly — and fought for the South. Scott turned next to the best soldier from the ranks that he knew: Irvin McDowell. McDowell would lead the Union Army into its first great battle, The Battle of First Manassas if you are a Southerner or the First Battle of Bull Run if you are a Northerner, and lose it. He would fight on in a subordinate role with the commanding generals who would follow and end his career in the far west. But this story is not about Irvin McDowell who, after growing up here, really spent little time in Columbus. This story is about his father and the McDowells who gave the street in Franklinton its name. I have been intrigued by Abram McDowell since I first came across him a number of years ago. He was one of the first people I had read about locally who did not spell his name the same way Abraham Lincoln spelled his. As it turned out, it was the same name, and many people named their children Abram in those days. But having learned that, I was now even more interested to learn a little bit more about him and the McDowells. Abram McDowell came to central Ohio from Kentucky. He came from a large family of McDowells who had migrated into that state early in its history. His broth-

The McDowell House at the northeast corner of Spring and High streets, the boyhood home of General Irvin McDowell as well as the home of Abram McDowell and family.
er John Adair McDowell had come to the new community of Franklinton at the forks of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers early in its history and had become known as a frontier attorney. He was followed by one of his brothers,Abram, who came to Franklinton in 1818. A number of McDowells pass through Franklinton in those years, but John and Abram are two of the most important. John developed a successful law practice and served for a time as the Franklin County prosecuting attorney until his death at a relatively early age in 1824. After his death, Abram McDowell became the most significant member of the family in central Ohio. Moving across the river to the newly founded state capital, Abram McDowell became one of the men who made things happen in the new town. Columbus, founded in 1812 to serve as the state capital of Ohio, is a created city in the middle of the new state. Many of its residents came from the North — from communities like Worthington and its residents from Granby, Connecticut. Many more came from the South, from communities in the Virginia Military District to land set aside west of
the Scioto River for Virginians who fought in the Revolution. Abram McDowell was one of the southerners. Born in 1791, the year the army of General Arthur St. Clair was virtually annihilated by Native Americans, Abram McDowell grew up in a frontier world. It was a world whose society was transplanted from colonial Virginia and whose culture and mores were those of a people on the edge of constant warfare with Native American enemies. Abram McDowell grew up “in the saddle.” While he missed the Indian Wars of the 1790s, he rode with Kentucky mounted riflemen in many of the key engagements of the War of 1812 in the Midwest. After his arrival in Columbus, he would serve in a number of public offices including clerk of the Common Pleas Court, clerk of the Supreme Court and county recorder. For one year in 1842, he also served as mayor of Columbus. While all of these civil posts were important, Abram McDowell was most comfortable when he was leading men in uniform. He would be the second leader of

LENTZ Continued from page A4 the local militia mounted unit, the Franklin Dragoons, after the death of its first commander, Joseph Vance, in 1824. Abram McDowell was successful in most of the enterprises he undertook. He was successful because he was strong, energetic and well-connected with the founders of the city. But he was not always well-remembered. It is not hard to see why. A few recollections: “Mr. McDowell is still spoken of by old citizens of Columbus as a perfect specimen of the type of Kentucky gentleman of the old school. But he was a victim of the convivial habits of those times, and though he was highly respected, his last days were not happy… He was an intense aristocrat, priding himself on his culture, his social position, his refinement, and keeping haughtily aloof from the large mass whom he held to be beneath him.” Another account described Colonel McDowell in a slightly different way: “He is represented as being a Kentucky gentleman of the old school, aristocratic in all of his notions, refined and educated, but regarded by many as haughty in his manners, and perhaps, on that very account, never acquiring wealth.” Abram Irvin McDowell died in 1844 and is buried in Green Lawn Cemetery. Perhaps learning from the experience of his father and becoming a bit more of a diplomat as well as a soldier, Irvin McDowell grew up with five siblings in the house across the river from Franklinton in what would later be downtown Columbus. The house is built high, perhaps in fear of the floods which encompassed the town across the river. Like its builder, it was a sturdy house and worthy of respect.

Scenario similar in boys basketball Just when things got sticky for the Upper Arlington High School boys basketball team on Jan. 28 against Hilliard Darby, the Golden Bears switched gears. UA had its lead cut to four midway through the third quarter then turned up the defensive pressure for easy transition baskets en route to a 54-36 victory.

City League Notes
Stars boys team closing in on winning season By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Centennial High School boys basketball team became the surprise of the 2006 Division II postseason when it followed a nine-win regular season by earning a district runnerup finish. Although the Stars haven’t finished with a winning record under ninth-year coach Roosevelt Osborne, they likely won’t be under the radar during the coming district tournament. Centennial was sixth in last week’s Division II area coaches poll and had won nine of its first 15 games, earning a season sweep of City League-North Division rival Beechcroft. Seniors Wesley Russell and Isaiah Osborne have been averaging 16 and 15 points, respectively, and By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek sophomore Elias “Boo” Osborne Centennial’s Wesley Russell looks to shoot also has been a key contributor. despite pressure from Cameron Vines of Isaiah Osborne and Boo Osborne Whetstone during a City-North game Jan. 7. are coach Osborne’s sons.
“I’m trying not to look too far ahead,” coach Osborne said of the postseason. “We’re trying to get better quarter by quarter. We have high hopes. I’ve got three 6-foot guards that can handle the ball. They’re basketball players. Once we learn to play four quarters of basketball, we’ll be tough to stop.” The Stars won their only previous district titles in 1980 and ’81. With a cast led by 6-5 post player Greg Borojevich, a 2006 graduate who made the ThisWeek Super 12 as a senior and is the school’s all-time leading scorer with more than 1,200 points, Centennial finished 11-12 in 2006. That season, the Stars were seeded eighth in the tournament and beat Hamilton Township 65-62 in overtime and top-seeded Beechcroft 64-60 before falling to DeSales 64-54 in a district final. Senior Thomas Applegate is currently the team’s tallest player at 65 and is joined on the inside by Russell. Other key players include sen-
iors Wendell Hinton and Vance Lockett and junior Keenen Smith. Centennial opened with consecutive losses to teams from Kentucky, falling to Clay County 66-50 on Dec. 3 and Bryan Station 58-55 on Dec. 4. It lost its only other games over the next six weeks to Northland 7553 on Jan. 4 and Whetstone 71-62 on Jan. 7. The Stars will attempt to earn season sweeps over Mifflin on Friday, Feb. 4, Brookhaven on Tuesday, Feb. 8, and Linden-McKinley on Feb. 11. “We’ve been talking a lot about boxing out and finishing strong underneath,” Russell said. “Basically, our advantage is that all of our guards have a lot of speed.” “We’re basically like a track team,” Boo Osborne said. “We just push the ball and use that to our advantage.” By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek •RECRUITING NEWS — Football players throughout the City Vance Lockett of Centennial goes after a League signed letters of intent on rebound with Whetstone’s Ross Homan on Jan. 7.

The district seeding meeting will be held Sunday, Feb. 6. Watterson will play host to Beechcroft on Thursday, Feb. 3, and to Hartley on Saturday, Feb. 5, in its CCL-finale. The Eagles then will play host to Teays Valley on Tuesday, Feb. 8, before their regular-season finale Feb. 10 at Chillicothe. Watterson beat Hartley 39-30 on Jan. 8 as Gabby Byorth and Cook each scored nine points. Last season, the Eagles defeated Chillicothe 44-24 and Teays Valley 62-41. “We just want to keep playing our game and improving on what we do,” Woodford said. “We like to run on offense, and if someone is open, we want them to take the shot.

The boys team finished third (171) in the CCL championship meet behind St. Charles (456) and DeSales (240) and ahead of Hartley (145). Watterson also lost to St. Charles 121-59 on Jan. 26. Both the boys and girls teams will compete Friday, Feb. 4, at Thomas Worthington before participating Saturday, Feb. 5, in the Upper Arlington Invitational.
CITY Feb. 2 to compete at the college level. Marion-Franklin, which has earned at least a share of the City-South Division title each of the last seven seasons, was expected to have several signees. Wide receiver/defensive back Jeremy McCoy was slated to sign with Kent State, while defensive back Devante Strickland was sifting through several offers from Mid-American Conference schools. James Durroh (RB/DB) and Devante Taylor (TE/DB) were expected to commit to Notre Dame College in South Euclid, with Camren Harris (WR/DB), Rashawn Johnson (OL/DL) and Eric Robinson (WR/DB) all headed to Wittenberg. Rashawn Thorpe (RB/DL) was leaning toward signing with Findlay, according to coach Brian Haffele. Running backs Paul Harris and Chad Jones also were pondering offers. Eastmoor’s Ron Tanner (QB/DB), who along with McCoy and Strickland made the ThisWeek Super 25, was slated to sign with Ohio State. The ceremony for Tanner’s signing is expected to be held Thursday, Feb. 3. He was scheduled to be in Austin, Texas, on signing day, competing for Team USA in the Team USA vs. The World all-star game.

state power Lakewood St. Edward, which was 12-4 after defeating Mentor Lake Catholic 9363 on Jan. 29. Speaking of state powers, the area foursome has the attention of poll voters. In last week’s state poll, Gahanna was second behind Cincinnati Moeller, Northland was third and South was tied for fourth with Cincinnati La Salle. UA received no mention statewide, but was fourth in last week’s area coaches poll behind Gahanna, Northland and South. And just more than a week away — Sunday, Feb. 13 — the Central District drawing takes place at Olentangy Liberty. Last year, Northland was the top seed followed by Gahanna, South and UA. Coffman was fifth. Right now, Gahanna likely would be the top seed, followed by Northland, South and UA, but that’s only a guess. There is still a week of basketball to play before the seeding deadline on Friday, Feb. 11, and it might be foolish to bet against any of these teams losing before then. Teams like these four powerhouses know how to win, and find ways to win. That is why the Fairgrounds Coliseum is always packed on the Saturdays featuring the Division I district semifinals and finals. It’s basketball at its best with teams that refuse to lose.
in a district semifinal last year after defeating the Shamrocks twice during the regular season (6458 and 65-62). They finished 20-1. Coffman looms large on the horizon for UA, with the teams set to meet again Feb. 18 at UA. The Golden Bears won 53-52 on Jan. 14. South finished 22-1 last season after falling to Marion-Franklin 66-57 in a district semifinal. The Wildcats brought back most of their firepower, including Traevon Jackson, a Wisconsin signee and the son of former NBA and Ohio State player Jim Jackson. The Wildcats have won 40 consecutive games in the regular season. They have a possible stumbling block ahead in Westerville North on Tuesday, Feb. 8. The Warriors took their rivals to overtime but lost to South 77-73 on Jan. 4. Still, the next meeting will be at South. At first glance, Gahanna and Northland seem to have smooth sailing to unbeaten regular seasons. But things are rarely that simple with 15to 18-year-olds taking the court. Gahanna’s biggest test may be Friday, Feb. 4, at Pickerington North, which is 14-1. The Panthers’ lone loss was a 61-41 setback at Gahanna on Dec. 22. The Vikings may have their toughest tests this weekend. On Friday, Feb. 4, they play at home against Brookhaven, a team they edged 43-41 on shennen@thisweeknews.com Jan. 11.

Maynard, a 6-foot-2, 290pounder who also had offers from Central Florida and Western Michigan, made firstteam all-district and secondteam all-state in Division III last fall. After finishing with 46 tackles and 5.5 sacks while helping the Eagles win the state title, Maynard will join a Falcons team that finished 2-10 last season.

Lemongrass Fusion Cuisine is a Short North classic The story of Lemongrass Fusion Cuisine says a lot about Columbus. Once a brash and hot new dining star in the explosively growing constellation of Short North restaurants, about a dozen years later it has the status of a mature establishment that can even be taken for granted. That’s what I was thinking recently as I trekked back into Lemongrass’ heart-of-it-all digs. Having not been in a while, I wondered if the place would feel lively and fun again or simply outdated. At first glance, not a heck of a lot seemed different. Those same autographed entryway photographs of Michael Moore and Viggo Mortensen from Lemongrass’s glam-slamming earlier days were still hanging opposite its kicky little bar. And the restaurant proper had retained its theatrical look and
MENU by G.A. Benton vibe. So there’s the stage-like, trendily distressed wooden plank flooring, rainbow sherbet colored walls, a soaring ceiling, low and pleasant lighting and even a few little roofed dining niches bounded by gauzy curtains. This dramatic setting naturally attracts a classic, non-conformist Short North-type crowd. Lemongrass’ food is as flagrantly off-center as its freewheeling patrons and setting. Basically it’s a lot of Thai accents merging with Mediterranean sensibilities. For instance, the alluring Lemongrass Soup with vegetables

Pad Thai and Eurasia salad at Lemongrass.
($4) was like a compelling collision of minestrone and Tom Yum soups. A light and brightly citric broth with chili, fish sauce and lemongrass notes was filled with pasta shells and firm veggies like carrot, mushroom and zucchini. An unusual, but pretty and pleasing Eurasian Salad ($7) combined
shredded cheese with crispy Asian noodles, toasted almonds, pineapple, mandarin oranges and fresh greens. I liked its crunch and the way its unexpected tamarind-forward Worcestershire sauce-y dressing played off the fruit. Lemongrass’ huge menu includes lots of sushi, like the justifiably popular Lemongrass Roll ($12). With silky swaths of salmon and sweet BBQ eel draped over an inside-out spicy tuna roll accompanied by zingy sauces and garnishes, it managed to be delicious, fun and colorful without sounding too many bells and whistles. Ditto for the excellent Pad Thai with Tofu ($12). I was especially fond of its healthier than usual wealth of multi-hued vegetables and lack of grease. More one-note tasting was the Monsoon Shrimp ($16). It wasn’t

High St., Short North Web: lemongrassfusion.com Cuisine: Chinese & Asian Price: $$ ($10-$20 per person) Patio: No Hours: 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Monday, 11:30 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Tuesday- Saturday bad, but largely consisted of a mound of rice surrounded by lotsa shrimp and green beans swamped in a tidal wave of coconut milk. I would’ve liked its hints of chili and lemongrass to have been cranked up to balance out its milky sweetness. A more-interesting coconut milk dish was the Hawaiian Duck ($19). Italy met Asia on a veggie- and fruit-heavy plate of pasta with big chunks of delicious — but not
crispy-skinned — duck. Seared Cajun Scallops ($19) were pretty terrific. A generous load of zesty spice-coated shellfish was beautifully browned and wonderful tasting. Sure, Lemongrass’ ’90s-era cocktails don’t excite and its large wine list contains many smart “best buy” selections that no longer are. And yeah, a dessert like Fried Plantains (with upscale ice cream bar slices) is more fun than memorable. But Lemongrass is still a fun, lively and intriguing eatery. If it’s considered “just another Columbus restaurant,” that only speaks volumes about our modern and greateating city. To read G.A. Benton’s blog visit ColumbusDiningGuide.com.

Babushka’s offers counter-order service in a casual environment that seats 112. Reservations are not accepted and no alcohol is served.

Her husband, meanwhile, will leave his job as culture coach for Campus Dining Services at OSU to run Babushka’s. Lack of on-site parking struck a nerve with Scottie MacBean’s immediate neighbors. Adding to their aggravation, the coffee shop’s ownership sought a liquor license, which was defeated by voters in the precinct. The Bennetts said additional parking can be found at Beechwold Custom Jewelry, located a few blocks south. Also, they said they have no interest in seeking a liquor license. Jennifer Kangus, the area’s representative to the Clintonville Area Commission, said she’s in a wait-and-see mode with the restaurant, as no one has yet raised an issue about parking. “Parking is always a concern in Clintonville,” she said. “It’s one of our universal themes. It always seems to come up. I’d like to see how things go and hopefully it will work out for the best.” Babushka’s will be open for lunch and dinner five days a week, lunch only on Sunday and closed Monday.
