Jugglers say hobby is worth the effort By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers They stand across from each other, pitching clubs back and forth at an almost hypnotic speed. Others toss bird seed-filled balls in the air, trying to keep them suspended before gravity and fatigue take their toll. Yet another one hops on a unicycle, attempting to incorporate basketballs into his routine — without falling. This is just another day in the lives of the Jest Jugglers, a group that meets each Thursday night at the Schiller Park Recreation Center in German Village. Founded in the early 1980s, the outfit is the longest-running juggling group in central Ohio, according to Owen Smith, codirector of the organization. It accepts jugglers of all coordination levels and there is no cost to join. “We do have people from all walks of life,” said Smith, a mechanical engineer who lives in Powell. His son, Evan, an exercise enthusiast,
Comparing statistics in a three-month span in 2009 and 2010, Columbus police say burglaries and thefts from vehicles significantly increased in German Village. From September through November 2009, police reported 13 burglaries in the neighborhood. During that same period a year later, that number shot up to 33. Likewise, there were 21 thefts reported from vehicles in 2009. In 2010, 73 were reported. That issue, along with a number of safety-related concerns, was discussed at the Jan. 27 police luncheon at the German Village Meeting Haus. Meanwhile, the number of actual arrests dropped from seven to three and incidents of malicious destruction rose from 16 to 21. Many other types of crimes didn’t significantly rise or decrease during that time period, officers said. Resident Jerry Glick, who organizes the luncheon on behalf of the German Village Society, said the numbers confirm what many people have perceived to be a trend over the past two years. “They tell us we are obviously attractive to the criminal because what we leave in our cars is easily accessible,” he said. “These are all crimes of opportunity and we’re providing the opportunity.” Police and local civic leaders have urged residents to take extra precautions in securing their property, whether in their vehicles or in their homes. “A lot of this we can help,” Glick said. The statistics are helpful in tracking crime where it occurs, he said. “The more we know, the better we are in controlling any crime in the area,” he said. Glick said the community is at somewhat of a disadvantage because many houses and apartments do not have garages. He said crime statistics were available for the whole year but he felt that three busy months during the holiday season would be representative of greater trends. German Village is still very safe by comparison to other areas of the city, he said, and the incidents of violent crime are pretty low.

Friends plan Mars Creations memorial for Local business will close later this month Holdridge at White Castle By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers
After five years in business, Mars Creations is closing. Owner Marsha Robinson said her German Village business, which specializes in custom art and jewelry, will shut its doors for good Feb. 26. “It’s really kind of a sad thing. I’m in one of the most historic places in German Village,” she said of her 1,000-square-foot space at 223 E. Kossuth St., commonly referred to as “The Red Stable.” Jody Graichen, historic preservation officer for the German Village Society, said the property on East Kossuth, believed to be built in 1891, has a rich history, serving as an ice house, stable, candy store, art gallery and arts-and-crafts shop over the years. The property owners want to sell the site but Robinson said she is not interested in buying it. She said she would move to Palm Springs, Calif. See CLOSING, page A2

Sharing a few sliders with some friends for dinner? Fred Holdridge wouldn’t have had it any other way. Friends and well-wishers of the late Holdridge will celebrate his memory on Valentine’s Day with a sojourn to the White Castle on Greenlawn Avenue. “He was just a White Castle fan,” said Wayne Owens, a friend who will join in the festivities Feb. 14. Unfortunately, Owens said, the event is sold out, as 32 people will be telling stories, listening to music and supping on burgers, curly fries, onion chips and fish sandwiches.

Thieves are removing copper from inside the units, which can yield about $3 a pound. The trouble, officers said, is that many people don’t realize their air conditioners are gone until late spring.

CLOSING By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek
Lynn Hay, a Bexley resident, practices juggling with the Jest Jugglers on Jan. 27 at the Schiller Park Recreation Center in German Village. To view a video from the Jan. 27 meeting of the group, log on to www.ThisWeekNews.com.
JUGGLERS Continued from page A1 said juggling is a good workout. “You can really work up a sweat,” he said. So what does it take to become a good juggler? “Dedication,” the elder Smith said. Not to mention a few tools of the trade, such as clubs, balls and rings. It can be a fairly inexpensive prospect for beginners, but some of the more expensive equipment, such as the bowling pinshaped clubs, can run $45 each. Most practitioners consider juggling seven objects the pinnacle of the craft. Wes Bourne, a Johnstown resident who joined Jest Jugglers five years ago, said it took him the past 18 months to work up to five. “To me, juggling is a sport,” he said. “The more balls and patterns, the better.” Some juggling routines conjure up images of impending disaster — torches, knives, bowling balls and chainsaws whirling about, just centimeters away from the body. Owen Smith said performers still use those instruments, but they’re not
part of the local group’s regular meetings at the recreation center. “I haven’t done dangerous stuff in a while,” said Smith, who has spun a number of sharp objects in the air. “Actually, juggling on the unicycle wasn’t the safest thing, either.” Indeed, dangers do exist. Matt Jergens, a professional juggler, took a club to the face at the Jan. 27 gathering. “It hardly ever happens but when it happens, it happens to me,” the Westerville resident joked. Jergens began juggling as a senior in high school almost 20 years ago. Now, he makes a living doing it. “I practiced every day. It took a while,” he said, adding that he does about 300 shows a year. Lynn Hay, of Bexley, enjoys the countless challenges juggling presents but prefers to take things slow. “I’m happy where I am,” she said. “I don’t want to be a superstar.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
MEMORIAL Continued from page A1 Dee Debenport and Heather Phalen came up with the idea for the dinner. Debenport said the idea evolved from the German Village Garden Group, a collection of Holdridge’s close friends who would meet every other Wednesday from the end of May to early October to socialize. The group more than doubled to about 50 members in the dozen or so years since its founding, she said. “Fred always wanted to do something in the winter to perpetuate this,” Debenport said. Once in charge of the German Village Society’s fun committee, Holdridge always managed to do things that involved minimal amounts of money but pulled in the neighborhood, Debenport said. The fact that White Castle goes upscale once a year — featuring tablecloths, candlelight and servers — made the event all the more

attractive to the group’s members, who felt Holdridge would appreciate the campier side of the evening’s celebration, she said. Holdridge died Dec. 23 at age 86. He and his former partner, Howard Burns, who died in 2001, were described by friends and residents as the “popes” of German Village. They owned Hausfrau Haven, were deeply involved in many community events and championed historic preservation in the neighborhood.

The German Village Society is still looking to commemorate the memories of the two men by naming something in their honor. “We are in the process of exploring various ideas, some conceived by fellow neighbors, in hopes to promote the spirit of community that Fred and Howard embodied in the most fitting way possible,” said Brian Santin, president of the GVS board of trustees. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Robinson said her store has been successful, offering bargain-priced pieces of handcrafted art, custom-made jewelry and jewelry repair. The location didn’t hurt, either, as two big destinations for visitors, Schmidt’s Restaurant und Sausage Haus and the Fudge Haus, are nearby. “I’m in a great space,” she said. Robinson said she would have inventory through closing day and plans to offer large discounts. “I want to offer a good sale for all my neighbors who have been supportive throughout the years,” she said. Her intent is to set up a website so, when she moves, she can provide services for her customers. Mars Creations is the second specialty store in German Village to announce its closing in recent months. The other,Yosick’s Artisan Chocolates, closed Christmas Eve. Karen Page, chair of the German Village Business Community, said those closings appear to be business decisions and “not a reflection of the market.” “I think German Village has one of the most active business groups in the downtown market and is very active for the shops,” she said of the GVBC. “It’s a strong organization and all the money we spend helps support the businesses and restaurants.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Auditor’s office preparing for 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 es-
tablished, their tax bill will be increased at a similar percentage to the value increase. Conif the CLARENCE versely, value is lowE. MINGO II ered, they expect their tax bill to be 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 userfriendly process.

As it were
Abram was part of an intriguing Civil War-era McDowell family Traveling west across the Broad Street bridge to the Franklinton neighborhood across the Scioto River from downtown Columbus, one will soon encounter a north-south 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 McDowell will be reasonably 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, spent little time in ED Columbus. This story is LENTZ 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 brother 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 See AS IT WERE, page A6

boardist Joel Cummins told The Beat a couple years back that the band writes new material for every show. “We start with something we might have worked out backstage and just start throwing visual cues back and forth. Sometimes we come up with some pretty good stuff.” So, yeah, the Chicago sextet is a jam-band, but less trippy and meandering and more driving and dramatic. The Beat has referred to them as the musical test-tube baby of the Dixie Dregs and King Crimson. Another writer called them “improg.” Nice. Umphrey’s McGee plays Lifestyle Communities Pavilion, with opener Orchid Lounge, Friday, Feb. 4. Tickets are $20/$25. Call 1-800-745-3000.

translates no better performed live than spun by a DJ. After all, it’s not made for consumption as much as participation. Swedish pop star Robyn tackles this preconception by entering whirling dervish mode upon taking the stage and not stopping until everyone — herself, her backing band and her audience — has been moved as much as they have moved. Robyn released three records in 2010, and has taken to the road, with support from Diamond Rings and Natalia Kills. The tour stops at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Tuesday, Feb. 8. Tickets are $15.

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

($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

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 great-eating city. To read G.A. Benton’s blog visit ColumbusDiningGuide.com.
Clintonville readies for servings of Polish comfort food Unlike cities in northern Ohio, Columbus isn’t known for its large ethnic neighborhoods. Dennis Bennett said he doesn’t think that places Babushka’s Kitchen at a disadvantage. “What Columbus lacks in heritage it makes up in its foodiness,” said Bennett, who, with his wife, Jacky, will open the Polish restaurant sometime in the next few weeks in Clintonville. The restaurant will take over the old Scottie MacBean location at 4675 N. High St. The signature dish is the pierogi, which comes in five varieties: potato; potato and cheese; potato, cheese and bacon; mushroom and swiss; and roasted sauerkraut.
It’s made in-house and prepared in classic fashion: Boiled and then pan-fried with onions and butter and served with sour cream. Custom orders are accepted for carryout but must be made 24 hours in advance. Other ethnic favorites include kielbasa, made by a producer in Cleveland using Babushka’s special blend of spices; kolachky, folded pastry lined with fruit or cheese; and golabki, stuffed cabbage. Babushka’s offers counter-order service in a casual environment that seats 112. Reservations are

Dennis Bennett and his wife, Jacky, are opening Babushka’s Kitchen at 4675 N. High St. The restaurant, which will open in the former Scottie MacBean site, will offer traditional Polish fare.
not accepted and no alcohol is served. The restaurant was founded by Jacky’s parents, Dave and Nancy Abramowski, who opened the first Babushka’s near Akron. A third one is planned for Independence in the Cleveland area. Jacky will keep her job as director of conferences for The Ohio State University Alumni Association, while also pitching in at the restaurant. 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. For more information, call 614-4479120. Melissa Worthington, a former banker and current nurse, has a new challenge: Cupcakes. Worthington and business partner Briana Irby, also a nurse at the OSU Medical Center, have opened Blue Frost Cupcake in Downtown Worthington. It’s another in a long line of independent cupcake shops that have dotted the central
Ohio map. Worthington said she hopes to differentiate her shop with quality ingredients – Madagascar bourbon vanilla, Saigon cinnamon and Callebaut chocolate, to name a few – and flavor. For video on this story, go to www.ThisWeekNews.com. Presentation and taste are equal, she contends. “We wanted something that tasted as good as it looked,” she said. Blue Frost, 657 High St., offers 10 permanent flavors, plus two daily specials, such as the lemon chiffon, which uses scratch-made lemon curd. Cupcakes are $2.50 each, $1.50 for minis. There’s a small amount of seating inside and a few beverages, such as coffee and tea. The bakery is open six days a week, closed Monday. For more information, call 614-844-4850.

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 Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

be the second leader of 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.
