City pays $752,179 on debt to IRS By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Grove City has paid $752,179 of its debt to the Internal Revenue Service as an investigation continues into possible theft within the city’s finance department. City law director Stephen J. Smith on Feb. 7 told city council the debt had been paid last week and that another $5,000 in interest is owed, as well as possible IRS penalties. The city hopes to have any penalties abated, he said. The money to pay the IRS is coming
from Grove City’s general fund. “After that (payment of the $5,000 and any penalties) we will be completely caught up,” Smith said. He said city officials also have made a public records request for documents from the IRS going back as far as 1999. The IRS has not yet responded to that request. City officials said they were surprised in December when IRS officials visited the city, bringing documents saying the city owed about $685,905 in unpaid withholding taxes. Subsequent examination of city records showed more
money was owed. Police Chief Joseph Wise told council members and about 60 people in the audience that some subpoenas had been filed as part of the investigation. He did not elaborate and cautioned, “The fact we asked for some information on individuals is not (an indication) they have done anything wrong.” Wise did not name those subpoenaed. He had said on Jan. 13 that investigators uncovered evidence of theft within the finance department. No charges have been filed. The police department, the Ohio Bu-
reau of Criminal Investigation and a special unit from the state auditor’s office are sifting through the city’s financial records after officials found out last year that federal payroll withholding taxes had been underpaid, apparently for a number of years. Also taking a look at Grove City’s books is GBQ Consulting, an independent consulting firm retained by the city in January. The city is paying GBQ up to $20,000 to investigate causes behind the tax errors. Smith said after the Feb. 7 meeting that GBQ has not yet completed its audit
of the books. While the company has never audited a governmental body, GBQ representatives have said it has worked with other agencies with similar types of issues. The firm also is reviewing city policies and procedures. The city placed payroll specialist Jackie Kincaid on paid leave on Dec. 10. She retired effective Jan. 7 and has denied any wrongdoing. Grove City resident Bill Ferguson addressed council on Feb. 7 and presented some documents he said he obtained through public records requests See CITY, page A2

Specifics on how to use that site were not explored in a 2008 town center plan drawn up by the architectural firm and approved by the city in 2009. The city wants to revitalize Grove City’s downtown by attracting new businesses and making other improvements. Elmer and his associates envision a building trade between City Hall, 4035 Broadway, and Grove City Library 3359 Park St. The library draws 1,100 patrons daily, he said. If the library was in the town center, it would draw more potential shoppers to the area. The estimated cost to swapping the buildings, if approved by the various city and library officials, would be about $15.9-million, Elmer said. City Hall would have to have a 10,000-square-foot addition and other renovations would be made to both buildings. City Hall now has 15,215 square feet and the library 34,800. A park and 80 moderately priced housing units or condos could be built on the lumberyard site. “The town center planning area lacks a strong identity,” Elmer told council members. “We want to make the old town center the nostalgic center of the community where people live, work and play,” Elmer said. The economy must improve before the entire plan could be put into effect, he said. “The current economy will not support a major mixed-use development project,” Elmer said. A temporary park or community gardens could be established on the lumberyard until development can occur. Other possible uses include housing, a health club, a city building, commercial and residential, or a civic square. Council president Ted Berry told council and the audience a lot

Plan would give schools extra calamity days By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Ohio public school districts may get a reprieve on snow days from the Ohio General Assembly. The Ohio Legislature is considering a bill to allow schools five canceled, or calamity, days, said state Rep. Casey Kozlowski, of the 99th district. He represents the 99th House District. For the 2010-11 school year, schools
are allowed to have three canceled school days. Any school days canceled after that number must be made up. Two buildings in South-Western City Schools have used three calamity days. Two buildings have used four. One is Darbydale Elementary School, which closed on Nov. 11 when a boiler room fire was caused by what was called naturally occurring methane. Darbydale will make up its fourth day on Feb. 21, Presidents Day.

Finland Elementary School had to close on Oct. 7 when a burned-out electric motor sent smoke into the building. Its makeup day is not yet scheduled, said district spokesperson Sandy Nekoloff. House Bill 36, if approved, would increase the number of calamity days from three to five. It also has an emergency clause that would make it effective immediately, said Kozlowski, whose constituents are in
northeast Ohio. “I have a few school districts that have used six calamity days. We’ve had a long harsh winter and we still have the rest of February and March to get through,” Kozlowski said. Local districts have also used the maximum of allowable canceled school days. Though the Ohio Department of Education does not have an official count, spokesperson Patrick Gallaway said

that the majority of school districts have used their allotment of three calamity days because of the extreme winter Ohio is having. During Gov. Ted Strickland’s administration, the number of allotted calamity days was gradually decreased, with 2010-11 receiving three. “One thing to remember is the safety of our children.

Continued from page A1 districts the discretion to use five calamity days. I feel that there could be pressure put on superintendents when making those decisions – extending the school year and making up days on holidays. The five calamity days has worked best for districts and bringing that number back up to five would be suitable,” Kozlowski said. The bill would allow a district to make up a calamity day by increasing the school day by half-hour increments. It exists in
law already, but it can only be used if a district has had nine or more calamity days, Kozlowski said. The bill would allow the method to be used to make up the sixth canceled day. “Each district is unique and it would give them the local authority to make that decision. The Columbus-knows-best philosophy isn’t what’s always right for these school districts. It gives them that local authority to decide how they would make up
a calamity day – whether they want to extend some school, use a holiday or extend the school year. My goal with this bill is for the school districts to have local control and authority,” Kozlowski said. Kozlowski said the bill had 22 co-sponsors as of Feb. 2, and he is hearing a lot of support for it. The bill is being discussed in committee and is likely to go before the House in February.

the same benefits as development. A dog park is another possibility, but usually at least three acres and ample parking are needed. Studies have shown that people often just come to the dog parks and then leave, so such a park likely would not help spur the downtown economy, Elmer said.
Dog-friendly businesses, as well as dog walks in the downtown, could help attract pedestrian traffic to the town center area, he added. Real estate appraiser Richard A. Vannatta, a consultant involved in the town center plan, told city council to remember that what they do with the lumberyard site should be physical-

Right now, communications with local businesses must be sent through the mail unless the city has an e-mail address on file. “In this electronic age, it’s going to be real slick to be able to talk to them electronically, and they’ll be able to talk to us, as well,” Walters said.
“When we’re finished, we’ll have an e-mail list from all our businesses, so we’ll be able to whip out the next (survey) quickly and electronically.” The survey will be available online for the next month.

City slates workshops on rainwater benefits By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A closer look
Grove City is encouraging residents to go green this spring. The city’s Parks and Recreation Department and Keep Grove City Beautiful are planning four rain barrel workshops. The four workshops will be held from 9-11 a.m. Feb. 26 and March 18 and from 6:30-8:30 p.m. March 2 and 16 at the Evans Center, 4330 Dudley Ave. “We’re holding (these workshops) to educate the residents in Grove City about the benefits and cost savings associated with installing a rain barrel,” city spokesman Don Walters said. “Last year we scheduled one workshop and had to schedule three more to keep up with the interest.” The workshops teach homeowners how to install rain barrels, which collect roof runoff. “A rain barrel can save most homeowners about 1,300 gallons of water during the peak summer
The cost is $40 for Grove City residents and $45 for others. The cost covers a rain barrel for each participant. For an additional $20, participants can upgrade to a 60-gallon decorative rain barrel available in three colors. Photos of barrel styles are posted on the city website at grovecityohio.gov
months,” Walters said. “Saving water not only helps protect the environment, it saves money and energy” based on decreased demand for treated tap water, he said. Grove City legislation passed last November permits installation of the barrels as long as they aref an approved color and are installed the correct distance from the house. Rain barrels were not previously addressed under city code.
The water the barrels collect can be used as an alternative to tap water for watering yards and gardens, or even indoor plants. The city infrastructure benefits, as well. Using a rain barrel reduces peak water demand during summer months and reduces the volume and velocity of storm water runoff to streams and storm sewer systems, Walters said. The workshops will be led by representatives from Rain Brothers LLC. Thirty people can attend each workshop. The cost is $40 for Grove City residents and $45 for others. The cost covers a rain barrel for each participant. For an additional $20, participants can upgrade to a 60gallon decorative rain barrel available in three colors. Photos of barrel styles are posted on the city website at grovecityohio.gov. To register for this workshop, call the Grove City Parks and Recreation Department at (614) 277-3050.

Brother, can you spare a FAOZAN NARVEL, MD ABFM Board Certified Family Physician dime for a night’s lodging? Comprehensive And Complete Health Care Columbus and America have spent much of the last quartercentury attempting to come to grips with the problem of people with little or no money and very few places to spend the night. But this is not a story about America today. I will leave that story to others. Today I would rather look a little more closely at how people with few resources lived a century ago. One-hundred years ago, some people who had lost everything due to bad decisions, bad attitudes or simply bad luck left their old world behind and hit the road. They became known as “tramps,” “hoboes” or “vagrants” and lived off the land and by their wits. As far as I know, the definitive history of the vagrant in America has yet to be written. But a lot of good historical research seems to point to the simple fact that outsiders and other just plain unlikable people have a long history in our country. More than one historian has noted that more than a little of this country was founded and settled by such people. Eventually, many — if not most — of these people settled down, found a calling, a living or a career and no longer drifted across the land. Every town of any size in America has had its share of people who simply did not fit in. Many lived on the edges of the town, did their best to stay out of the way and got on with their lives. In the early history of Columbus, a number of rather disreputable types — nominally led by a man named Jones — founded a settlement of their own called “Jonesburgh” near the intersection of Naghten Street and Cleveland Avenue, a place that was then “out in the country.” It soon became an open marketplace for thieves, robbers and other nasty people. The “village,” such as it was, became a local center of drink, dissolution and disease and was in short order closed down by local residents who did not like to have such a place so close to the state capital. One could assume that the good citizens of Columbus who drove out the bad people of Jonesburgh thought they had rid the city of its unwanted residents once and for all. If, indeed, they thought so, they of course were sadly mistaken. Columbus, like every American city, would always have a vice district — an area that through much of the 1800s would come to be called the “Badlands.”
The state capital would also always have people who literally lived at the edges of the town and who subsisted on whatever they

nified by the title of ‘office,’ usually upon the walls of which the far-seeing proprietor has hung framed rules and regulations, made up in style somewhat like Sunday School mottos, reading thus: “‘Anyone retiring with his shoes on will forfeit his bed.’ ‘Sleeping in the office strictly forbidden.’ ‘Beds must be paid for in advance.’ “There are, however, permanent lodgers also in the 10- and 15-cent hostelries. The majority of these have the 15-cent beds. These beds are located in small rooms hardly larger than the private lockers in the athletic clubman’s club house … In the rooms or stalls, there is a single iron bed, one chair and hooks for hanging up clothing … The lodgers who expend 15 cents a night for a sleeping place are many of them clerks on small salaries, some of them from the great army of men who work in the wholesale houses and other big establishments where hundreds of men are employed. “The ambitious and manly boy who came to the city from his country home last autumn to find work in town writes to his mother dating his letter ‘hotel’ this and that, and little does the good woman dream of how dreary is the place called hotel, where her son is spending the long winter nights, sending home every cent he can spare. “Of course, there are better things in store for the boy, for he is gritty, but at present he is bravely doing the best he can and does not find a cheap lodging house unendurable.” For many young people coming to a town growing and changing in early 20th-century America, the 10- to 15-cent hotel was a first step to a better life. Perhaps in our own time, similar places still are.
might scavenge. But this story is not really about those people. Rather, it is about the people who came to Columbus looking for work, with few, if any, resources, and just simply needed a place to stay. In January 1902, a reporter for the Columbus Press-Post followed several of these people and wrote a rather lengthy story about what he discovered about their lives: “There are several men in Columbus who are each worth $1,000,000, which at 6 percent interest, means an income of $60,000, or nearly $200 per day … But it is not with the rich man this article is intended to deal … The poorest man is the one who lands in the city with 25 cents in his pocket, and must live upon this until he can find something to do that will bring him another 25 cents, if no more. “The man with 25 cents still views the world hopefully. He discovers that it will carry him through one day in comparative comfort. There is 5 cents for his breakfast, 5 cents for his dinner, 5 cents for his supper and 10 cents remaining for a bed in a lodging house. “There are numerous lodging houses in Columbus, whose signs say that a night’s lodging may be secured within at prices ranging from 10 to 15 cents. To put it in round figures, a canvass was made of ten of these ‘hotels’ and it was learned that an average of 20 men per night — all the year round — lodge in each of these Ed Lentz writes a history colestablishments. “There is a sitting room, dig- umn for ThisWeek.

Operation Buckeye founder hopes totop 25,000 boxes to soldiers this year
Page A5
Call me for all your advertising needs!
By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Operation Buckeye started out on the dining room table of founder Jim Caronis’ Worthington home. It moved into his garage when his late wife, Nancy Priode Caronis, wanted someplace to serve Thanksgiving dinner. The nonprofit organization, which packs and ships boxes of snacks, candy, Girl Scout cookies, playing cards and other items to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan to help lighten the burden and gloom of being far from home, now has its headquarters on North High Street in Clintonville, a post office box for donations in Westerville and volunteers from throughout central Ohio. Caronis said last week that he was inspired to launch Operation Buckeye back in 2006 after reading a piece by the late Dispatch columnist Mike Harden about a local Army officer and his soldiers who, instead of coming home from South Korea, were diverted instead to further duty in Iraq. Caronis immediately told his wife he wanted to send boxes of goodies to those poor military personnel, who so abruptly found themselves diverted from reuniting with loved ones to putting their lives on the line. They decided to pledge $10 for each of their 13 grandchildren and match that figure with their own money, expecting to send perhaps 20 gift boxes to soldiers. They wound up sending 94 that first time around, Jim Caronis recalled last week. The letters of appreciation received in return were heart-warming, so when Nancy asked her husband if they were going to do it again the next year, he replied: “You betcha!” With the help of a growing number of like-minded people, Caronis said that the second year’s

batch of boxes increased to 184. To date, the total is 18,000 boxes. Caronis hopes that figure tops 25,000 by the end of 2011. “Each and every year we’ve grown, and we continue to grow,” Caronis said. Nancy Caronis passed away this past Nov. 3, and her husband now carries on with Operation Buckeye in her honor. On Feb. 18, Jim Caronis will be receiving the 2011 Community Volunteer of the Year honor during the annual awards dinner and silent auction of the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce. “I just wish my wife could be
there, too, to also receive that award,” Caronis said. Operation Buckeye depends upon a network of Army chaplains, the National Guard and occasionally Ohio State University head football coach Jim Tressel to come up with the names of soldiers in need of the pick-meup one of the boxes could provide. Caronis was a member of the same fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega, as Tressel and his brother, OSU running backs coach Dick Tressel. The latter has served as honorary chairman of Operation Buckeye and Caronis said

Rabbit rescue group now has paid director By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Ohio House Rabbit Rescue has progressed by leaps and bounds since it was founded by Clintonville resident Beverly May in the summer of 2009. “Our big thing was that we hired a director,” May said last week. Heather Dean of Grove City, who developed grant-writing skills while working for United Cerebral Palsy and who has a communications degree from Otterbein University, came on board as a paid director for what had been an all-volunteer organization in early January, according to May. Ohio House Rabbit Rescue, which has members from throughout central Ohio, including Northland, Dublin, Upper Arlington, the campus area and Gahanna, grew throughout 2010, including upping the number serving on a team planning for construction of a physical shelter specifically for unwanted pet rabbits, May said. “We decided to keep that momentum going,” she said. “There was just so much we could get done if we hired somebody to work eight hours a day.” Dean, who has had pet rabbits since about 2004, was one of the first members of the planning team for the fledgling rescue operation. “So we could see her skills just as soon as we started the organization,” May said. Dean’s experience seeking funding through grants, as well as her ability to communicate with people in general and the media in particular, made her the ideal candidate for director of Ohio House Rabbit Rescue, May said. “Additionally, she really knows rabbits,” May said. “She knows all the issues of rabbits. She knows the needs of rabbits.” “Before it was always something I did outside of my work,” Dean said. “I wouldn’t call it a hobby but it certainly was more on a volunteer basis. Now I find I can devote a lot more time to digging for information and finding

Continued from page A5 that on one of his visits to the war zone with other college football coaches, Jim Tressel returned with 500 names for the organization. Often, these are enlisted men and women with little in the way of family support back home, according to Caronis. “If you’ve got nobody writing a letter to you, you’re sure as heck not getting a box,” Caronis said. Girl Scout cookies and beef jerky have been among the most requested items on the part of soldiers serving in war zones, according to the Operation Buckeye chairman, but the volunteers who pack the boxes also include things like magazines donated by Half Price Books, wet wipes offered by Buffalo Wild Wings and playing cards among the 45 to 50 items contained in each. “We call them care boxes,” Caronis said. “They’re sort of like snowflakes; there’s no two alike.” A small American flag and, as the name implies, a buckeye are among the “signature items” contained in each. Those packing the boxes often include a personal name with their name and address. “Many of the soldiers write back,” Caronis said. Volunteer packers have included schoolchildren from throughout central Ohio, the members of 11 different athletic teams at OSU, Girl Scouts and many others willing to give a little of their time to thank someone far away for serving in the military, the chairman added. “People in Columbus and the United States in general are giving, giving people,” Caronis said. While many of the items included in the “care

boxes” are donated, the cost of shipping them falls on Operation Buckeye, and it’s gone up from $8.50 a box when Jim and Nancy started to $10.95 today. “My feeling is we ought to do like the Brits do and send it over for free,” Caronis said. As the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have gone on over the years since Operation Buckeye was founded, Caronis said that he sometimes has to remind people there are still U.S. soldiers in danger far away. “There’s 100,000 soldiers and their families, and they know we’re at war,” he said. “The rest of the people go to the mall and go out to dinner. “The purpose of our mission is to bring a touch of home to the soldiers who are away from home for a long time,” Caronis added. And it’s not a mission that’s going to end until the wars end, he vowed. “We’re not going to get out of it until they’re all home, safe and sound,” Caronis said.

In brief Exemption offers property tax relief In 2007, state leaders expanded the homestead exemption to make property tax relief available to more than a half million additional senior citizens and permanently and totally disabled Ohioans. The homestead exemption dates back to 1971, and offers those who qualify the chance to shield part of their “homestead” — a dwelling and up to one acre — from property taxation. Until the expansion in 2007, most senior citizens and disabled Ohioans were excluded because of income tests. The redesigned exemption offers all eligible
A Perfect Gift For Valentine’s Day
homeowners, regardless of income, the opportunity to shield up to $25,000 of the market value of their homestead from property taxation. That means a home valued at $100,000 will generally be taxed as if it was valued at $75,000. On average, those who qualify are saving $400 per year. Seniors aged 65 and older and disabled Ohioans must apply with their local county auditor in order to take advantage of the homestead exemption. Applications may be submitted after the first Monday in January and on or before the first Monday in June. For a copy of the application, visit http://tax.ohio.gov/documents/forms/real_property/DTE_105A.pdf.

Girls Basketball
Central Crossing focusing on defense By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
After allowing nearly 50 points a game through nine games, the Central Crossing High School girls basketball team focused on playing better defense. In the Comets’ next nine games, only two opponents scored more than 50 points. Central Crossing held OCC-Central Division-leading Upper Arlington in check in a 43-32 loss on Feb. 4. “After the new year, we started working on our zone a little bit and we found
out it worked pretty well,” coach Neil Hohman said. “Defensively, the girls really key on the information and pick up on who they are supposed to be guarding.” Central Crossing trailed UA 35-30 with less than five minutes to play in the fourth quarter and held the Golden Bears scoreless during a two-minute span. However, junior Olivia Davis scored the Comets’ only two points during that stretch, and Central Crossing was outscored 8-0 in the final two minutes. “It’s going to be really important to
capitalize on those (opportunities),” said sophomore Jalynn Graham, who led the Comets with 14 points against UA. “Once we get the turnovers, we have to slow things down and go our speed. (Against UA), we kind of rushed through things. “It’s frustrating not to win the ones we want to win, but we fought all the way to the end.” Hohman is hoping the defense will give Central Crossing a chance in the Division I district tournament. The Comets have won their tournament
opener only twice in their first eights seasons. Central Crossing was seeded 25th and will play 28th-seeded Independence in the first round at 6 p.m. Feb. 17 at Olentangy. The winner plays thirdseeded Olentangy Orange or Westland at 8 p.m. Feb. 24 at Westerville Central. “We’re going to face a lot of tough teams, so we need to slow the game down and play our game,” Graham said. “We are going to battle some of these teams now that we know what our game is like.”
•Grove City has upgraded its offense as it prepares for the district tournament. The Greyhounds were averaging 66.6 points a game in their three games before playing Gahanna on Feb. 8. They had averaged just 36.1 points through their first seven games. “You’d have to be blind not to see that we’re getting better,” coach Dale Corbett said. “The (OCC-)Ohio Division is a very hard league to rebuild in. We’re not going to have those five See GIRLS, page B2

Taylor electric on court, off court Stevie Taylor is a whirlwind. The dynamic and diminutive leader of the Gahanna Lincoln High School boys basketball team seems to be everywhere on the court when he plays. The 5-foot11 point guard is either setting up a teammate, scoring a basket or causing conLARRY fusion for opLARSON ponents with his defense — and it has been that way for four years. I recall hearing about Taylor when he was in middle school and his reputation has continued to build throughout his high school career. In his last 44 games, the team that he has led has lost just two times — 58-48 to Pickerington North on Feb. 4 and 62-50 in a Division I state semifinal last March against eventual champion Massillon Jackson. Taylor is a winner. His drive and passion for basketball are obvious.

Other area players who signed with Big Ten schools were Westerville South offensive lineman Ray Ball (Wisconsin) and Pickerington Central defensive back Tamani Carter (Michigan). Worthington Kilbourne offensive lineman Matt Skura signed with Duke from the Atlantic Coast Conference. “It’s really exciting,” Walnut Ridge coach Byron Mattox said of having one of his players sign with a Big Ten school. “Getting your kid into a college anywhere is big, but to go to a BCS school and compete is really exciting.” •SKILLED-POSITION TALENT — The area’s most sought-after quarterback was
Coffman’s Cole Stoudt, a 6-4, 200-pound senior who signed with Clemson.

You have to hustle every time out.” Four of the top eight seeds in the tournament are in the OCCOhio — top-seeded Reynoldsburg, fifth-seeded Pickerington North, seventh-seeded Gahanna and eighth-seeded Newark.

The winner faces 36th-seeded Watkins Memorial in the second round at 6 p.m. Feb. 24 at Hamilton Township. Perhaps the biggest sign of improvement came in a 71-54 loss to Newark on Feb. 4.

It had beaten the Wildcats 58-41 on Dec. 21. “We’re in every game, our kids compete and they play hard, but we just aren’t finishing people off,” coach Greg Waits said. “Obviously, we’re not doing the right thing as coaches to get that across to these guys, so we have to get better as coaches.” Through 16 games, Jake Green was leading the Greyhounds in scoring, averaging 10.7 points,

The strength of central Ohio’s 2011 high school football recruiting class starts at tight end and safety. On Feb. 2, Westerville Central tight end Nick Vannett and Eastmoor Academy safety Ron Tanner celebrated National Signing Day by signing with Ohio State and Pickerington Central safety Eilar Hardy signed with Notre Dame. Other tight ends to sign were Walnut Ridge’s Austin Traylor, who signed after picking Wisconsin last November, and Pickerington North’s Darien Bryant, who was a late commitment to Vanderbilt. “As always, there are some Big Ten (Conference)-type of guys in this class, and obviously a lot of (Mid-American Conference)-class guys (from central Ohio),” said Bill Kurelic, who covers Midwest recruiting for ESPN.com and Ohio State for Bucknuts.com. “This year, there weren’t really any central Ohioans among the great, great prospects. The big name was probably Nick Vannett. Then when you add in Tanner and Hardy, it was a good year.” Vannett was a bright spot for the Warhawks, who had a 2-8 record. The 6-foot-6, 230-pound senior had 46 catches for 606 yards and four touchdowns. He is ranked No. 6 among MaxPreps.com’s top 25 tight ends in the 2011 class. According to MaxPreps.com, Tanner is No. 8 and Hardy is No. 21 among safeties. Tanner had three interceptions, three tackles for losses and 55 solo tackles as Eastmoor finished 64. Hardy had 63 tackles, five tackles for losses, six pass breakups and returned an interception for a touchdown for Pickerington Central, which went 11-1 after losing to Hilliard Davidson 13-6 in the Division I, Region 3 final. Hardy, Tanner and Vannett all made the ThisWeek Super 25, as did Bryant and Traylor. Another strong spot among

Grove City Christian Roundup
Eagles boys hope buzzer beater provides boost By FRANK DiRENNA
At a glance
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Grove City Christian School boys basketball coach Chris Timlin is hoping a buzzer-beating win over Madison Christian will give his team momentum heading into the final week of the regular season and the Division IV district tournament. The Eagles rallied to beat Madison Christian 60-57 on Feb. 5, highlighted by sophomore Derek Vaughn’s 3-pointer as time expired. Grove City Christian trailed 25-11 at halftime before rallying in the second half. Vaughn led the Eagles with a career-high 32 points. “We wanted to get Derek Vaughn the shot because obviously he played the best game of his career,” Timlin said. “We wanted to see to it that Derek would have another chance at the buzzer and drew something up really simple. The boys executed it, Derek was able to get a clear shot and put it right in at the buzzer. “It was a great win for the program.” The Eagles play Friday, Feb. 11, at home against Fairfield Christian. They lost to Fairfield Christian 80-58 on Dec. 10.

Worthington Christian is the second seed. The winner plays sixth-seeded Tree of Life or Danville in second round 6 p.m. Feb. 24 at Westerville North. Of note: The Eagles are 4-13 overall and 2-7 in the MOCAL. *MOCAL game
The contest against Fairfield Christian starts a busy week for the Eagles. They will play five games in seven days, highlighted by a MOCAL contest at Tree of Life on Monday, Feb. 14. The game against the Trojans was scheduled for Feb. 1 but was postponed because of bad weather. Grove City Christian, which is 2-5 in the MOCAL, lost to Tree of Life 69-43 on Dec. 17. The Trojans are first in the MOCAL at 8-1. The district tournament begins Feb. 22. The seeding meeting will be held on Sunday, Feb. 13. “I continue to tell people that we have the personnel needed to win a couple of games and to make people have to work to
beat us in the tournament,” Timlin said. “To have a win like that against Madison Christian, I am going to be able to use that game not only this season, but moving forward.” Through 14 games, senior Jonathan Clark led the Eagles in scoring, averaging 11.8 points, followed by Vaughn (11.5) and senior Sam Hatfield (9.4). Clark was the top rebounder, averaging 6.9, followed by Vaughn (6.2). •The girls basketball team will face a big challenge in the first round of the Division IV district tournament, as it opposes second-seeded Worthington Christian at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 16, at Granville. The Eagles, who are 4-13
overall and 2-7 in the MOCAL, are seeded 16th. “Of course, you want the best seed that you can get, but unfortunately our record doesn’t reflect the team that we really are,” coach Megan Little said. “We’ve had some crazy things
happen this year that didn’t go our way.” Worthington Christian was 12-4 at the time of the seeding meeting on Feb. 6. Grove City Christian has not played the Warriors this season. Harvest Prep, the defending state champion, was seeded first at 17-1. Grove City Christian has lost nine of its last 10 games. It plays host to Zanesville Rosecrans on Thursday, Feb. 10, before concluding the regular season on Saturday, Feb. 12, at Gahanna Christian. Gahanna Christian defeated the Eagles 45-32 on Jan. 20 in the first round of league play. “We hope to end the regular season with two wins, but my focus is going to be turned to-
ward the tournament,” Little said. “In the end, it matters what you do in the tournament.” Shelby Mayeran scored 19 points and Megan Keating scored 10 in a 57-39 loss to Tree of Life on Feb. 5. Little said the play of Mayeran, Keating, Amanda Folzenlogen and Audra Blythe has been among the keys to the team’s success this season. “I’m not a coach that bases my team around one or two players,” Little said. “I try to develop and form complete teams. Our team has definitely conformed to that philosophy. I’ve got upperclassmen and underclassmen who are playing their roles and playing well.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

and all of a sudden you’re a children’s music superstar! Well, in Laurie Berkner’s case, it wasn’t quite “all of a sudden” – and the music video spots on Nick Jr. didn’t hurt. But the best part is the catchy folk-pop melodies adults love, too. The Laurie Berkner Band plays the Palace Theatre Sunday, Feb. 13. Tickets are $37.50/$27.50.

Morgan and his band live in the rough edges of country, the kind cut by Waylon Jennings, David Allan Coe and Johnny Paycheck. Top it all off with lots of flannel and denim and amps cranking out sounds pounded out from the band’s Fender Telecasters Whitey Morgan and it’s honky-tonk heaven, friends. Touring in support of their latest, a self-titled effort, Whitey Morgan and the 78’s will stop at the Woodland Tavern for a Thursday, Feb. 17, gig. Lydia Loveless and The Tin Hearts open.

people and plans both remaining hidden when necessary so no one can tell the true intent. This production also requires much of the same from the cast, including a woman with blonde hair playing a woman with flowing brown locks, a 25-year-old man portraying two different characters (both many years his senior) and a young woman transforming into a 15-year-old boy. The fair-haired and fair-skinned Anne-Carolyn Bird spends so much time — between 30 and 45 minutes — applying “more makeup than Miss America” to look that part of a brunette, that there’s not enough time to dye her hair and keep it looking good. “I love being a brunette,” Bird, who plays Susanna, Figaro’s intended and the object of his master’s affection as well, told The Beat. “I wear a gorgeous brown wig that’s very long, all the way down to my waist.” The period costuming helps the singing actors take on their varied roles as well, as Bird attempted to describe with as much delicacy as possible. “One of the aspects of this time period is the women wear corsets,” she explained. “Susanna is a little bit of a flirt, and there are two times in the production where I bow in such a way that presents certain … assets … to a gentleman.” “I would never do that as Anne-Carolyn Bird, but it’s fun to inhabit that world,” Bird said. Kirsten Gunlogson has much the opposite situation. As the 15-year-old boy Cherubino, her transformation is even more dramatic. “It’s different than putting a dress on,” said the veteran of numerous ‘trouser’ roles. But even once I’ve got the jacket and boots on and the wig and the makeup, it’s more important how it feels. I don’t want to be hindered in creating the physicality of the character. “Cherubino’s a young boy, he’s youthful and exuberant and there are times when I scamper around the stage,” she added. “Plus there is a lot that goes into the time period and the character as far as how I hold my arms and what to do with myself when I’m just standing, or how I walk or sit in a chair or take someone’s hand.” The physical mannerisms are key for Stefan Barner, who plays both Don Basilio and Don Curzio, both older men but with very different personalities. “It’s amazing what they can do with makeup and wigs to make you look like a totally different person,” Barner explained. “But the singing and the acting have to be different as well.”
Opera Columbus will present Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro Friday and Sunday, Feb. 11 and 13, at the Ohio Theatre. Tickets are $100$7.50. Call (614) 461-8101.
He added that the different look and feel of each costume helps distinguish for him the differing requirements of each character. Don Basilio is a coconspirator with the Count, smarmy and self-serving, while Don Curzio is a lawyer in full gown who also happens to be quite the bumbler. “How I walk and my body carriage are totally different and even little things like facial expressions,” Barner said. “I spend a lot of time in my hotel room pacing around and making faces in the mirror.” Bird, whose Susanna is a servant to the Countess, said the way the characters interact is a significant way to convey to the audience the difference in their social standing. “I encourage the audience to watch who touches whom, and in what context,” Bird said. “It says a lot about the relationships of the characters.” “My biggest compliment is when people tell me how much I seem like a boy,” Gunlogson said. “You want the audience to be transported in their imagination. That’s what theater is.” For more on Opera Columbus’ production of The Marriage of Figaro, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.
La Casita is one of the best Mexican restaurants in town When people ask me — and they frequently do — what’s the best Mexican restaurant in Columbus, I can tell they usually mean “Mexican restaurant of a certain type.” In other words, instead of, say, a bare-bones mom-n-popper in the back of a market, they probably want a gringo-friendly party palace with good free chips and salsa, boat-sized slushy margaritas, bouncy music and a colorphoto-filled, order-by-number menu approximately the size of the Mexico City phone book. Nothing wrong with all that, I go to those places too. Anyway, if you’re seeking a toptier version of such a fun-forward establishment, look no further than the terrific La Casita. This place rocks. And on the rocks is how you should order your margarita here.
MENU by G.A. Benton And if you order La Casita’s “Original” (made with fresh lime juice, Hornitos tequila and Cointreau) with half the sugar (as I do), you’ll be drinking one of the best margaritas in Columbus. Sip on that smile-making quaff and check out this raucous, fiesta-happy joint. Yes, it’s bright and bouncy and has all of those aforementioned attributes of the standard burrito haunt. But it’s also smaller and cozier, and nicer in most every way — including its cheery, polished wood-paneled walls, arched brick-rimmed windows and loopy wooden chairs with wickery accents.

Fajitas Del Mar, Birria and the “Original” margarita at La Casita.
Oh yeah, and La Casita’s food is better too. A good starter is the refreshing Tostada de Ceviche ($3).
A nice, crispy fried corn tortilla was piled high with diced whitefish, plenty of carrot, onion, a touch of jalapeno and cilantro. A fresh and creamy avocado slice helped balance the bright flavors. For a considerably more substantial appetizer, opt for the wonderful Birria ($5.50 per “cup”). A veritable bucket of rich, tender, juicy and perfectly salty pot roast chunks was swimming in a thin, glistening red chili sauce. It wasn’t overly spicy, just really delicious. Considerably more heat emanated from the flaming hot Torta Ahogada ($7.29). A huge, flat and puffy roll was packed with carnitas pork plus a guacamole schmear, then totally soaked in an incendiary, devil-red chili broth. Highly recommended, but only for asbestos-throated types.
La Casita Mexican Restaurant 1355 Bethel Road 614-457-0823 Cuisine: Mexican Price: $ (up to $10 per person) Patio: Yes Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday Milder pork arrived with the almost elegant Lomo de Puerco ($11). Three large but lean slabs of rosemary-scented and just-notdry pork loin were lightly doused in a chili sauce, cheese and pico de gallo. Comes with rice and beans — choose the soupy and excellent whole pintos. The Fajitas del Mar ($17) breathed life into that ubiquitous cast-iron dish. This one had a big
ol’ nice-tasting and flaky fish (tilapia) plus an ocean of good seared shrimp and scallops. Like real tacos? Served on soft corn tortillas with radishes, lime, onion and cilantro, La Casita’s are the real deal and a steal of a deal at $2 each. Try the barbacoa, carnitas or chicken — all were juicy and delicious. As for the towering slice of milky and comforting Tres Leches cake I had for dessert ($4.59), my friendly waiter told me his wife made it. I told him he was a fortunate man. You’ll be a fortunate diner if you choose to get your Mexican food at La Casita. To read G.A. Benton’s blog, visit ColumbusDiningGuide.com
Baker mad about new opportunity in Olde Towne East Vicki Hink thinks her new café is a good fit for Olde Towne East, an intimate, tight-knit neighborhood where residents value each other and stores in the area. “I don’t think it will ever be a Short North with tons of business and all of that, but I don’t know if everyone wants it to be that busy,” said Hink, owner of the recently opened The Angry Baker, 891 Oak St. The 900-squarefoot restaurant seats 14. Open for breakfast, lunch and early dinner hours, the eatery is specifically known for baked goods, such as the caramel brioche cinnamon roll, Dr. Pepper cake (filled with chocolate ganache and crushed blackberries), croissants and chocolate chip cookies. The menu is rounded out by savory goods, including a variety of soup and sandwiches such as the crispy chicken thigh, clover greens, fried egg and dressed with chimichurri. There’s also a vegan option — sloppy joes made with lentils. Sandwich prices, including breakfast options, range from $5.25 to $8.25. Sweets are a buck to $4.50 for a slice of cake. Hink said she is trying to buy local as much as possible, a common expression for today’s conscientious restaurant owner. For example, she buys Ludlow cheese from Blue Jacket Dairy in Bellefontaine, turkey from Cooper Farms in St. Henry and maple syrup, among other items, from Stutzman Farms in Millersburg. A graduate of Columbus State Community College’s culinary program, Hink has worked locally at such places as Hyde Park, Z Cucina and Bakery Gingham. By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek “I’ve worked for a couple of places and I Vicki Hink, owner of The Angry Baker, is seen here with her brioche always wanted to do my own thing,” she said. cinnamon rolls with caramel, an eclair and a piece of Dr Pepper “I guess I planned to do it a little bit later in life but it all kind of happened.” cake. The Angry Baker opened Jan. 28 at 891 Oak St.
Despite the name of her restaurant, Hink said she’s really not mad at anybody. “It was kind of a funny nickname from an old bakery I used to work at,” she said. “It just kind of stuck.” Old Towne East, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, is located on the Near East Side of town. Hink, who lives in the area, said there’s a vibrant, built-in dining culture that frequents such neighborhood haunts as Yellow Brick Pizza and Black Creek Bistro. And there’s room for more, she said. “I really love the neighborhood,” she said. “And I knew we were really in the need for something like this.” The Angry Baker is open six days a week, closed Monday. For more information, call 614-947-0976. As of Feb. 1, Luce was back in the hands of its original owners. Chef Alex Rodriguez has returned the Powell restaurant to John and Mike Ciotola, and Randy Turturice. Rodriguez, who purchased Luce two and a half years ago, will stay on as chef for another month, Mike Ciotola said. The Ciotolas and Turturice founded Luce (pronounced loo-chay) almost six years ago at 3499 Market St. It started out as a casual Italian restaurant with an extensive wine list. The partnership sold the restaurant to Rodriguez in July 2008. He kept the name and wine inventory and added a Latin touch to the menu. Mike Ciotola, who now lives in Naples, Fla., said the menu will change considerably. He has hired Wes Thompson, a former sous chef at the restaurant, and will retain current
Luce sous chef Phillip Goulis. “We want to move more toward classic Italian, simple preparations with really fresh ingredients,” Ciotola said. “We’re going to try get as much local stuff as we can, as much organic stuff as we can.” It’s been 18 months since the brothers sold La Scala, the iconic Italian restaurant in Dublin founded by their father, the late Bennie Ciotola.

Jeff Melvin to receive 2010 Ray Kroc Award Grove City is home to one of the nation’s top McDonald’s restaurant managers. Jeff Melvin recently received the Ray Kroc Award, an annual performance-based award that
recognizes the top performing McDonald’s restaurant managers in the country. Melvin has worked at the London-Groveport Road McDonald’s since December 1999 as a manager. Named after McDonald’s Corporation founder Ray Kroc, the award was established twelve years ago in 1999 to honor hardworking restaurant managers – those who make Ray Kroc’s vision of excellence come to life in restaurants and for customers each day. A select 141 managers (of the nearly 14,000 nationally) were chosen this year to receive the Ray Kroc Award, an honor that comes with a cash prize, a Ray Kroc award trophy, ring and pin and a trip to Chicago for an awards gala on April 5 hosted by McDonald’s USA President, Jan Fields. The banquet will take place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel Chicago.
“Being named a Ray Kroc award winner means a lot to me because it recognizes all the hard work the entire team puts in every day,” said Melvin.

Actors’ Theatre of Columbus celebrates 30 years By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Patricia Ellson saw something that just wasn’t right — a park without Shakespeare. That was 30 years ago, when she and her late husband, Gary, were living in German Village. They were walking their dog past Schiller Park when Ellson visualized a stage, works from the Bard of Avon and, fortune willing, an audience. The couple mobilized and staged “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” with the help of some fellow thespians. The Actors’ Theatre of Columbus was born that summer of 1981. “We were hoping to get 300 people a night in the audience,” Ellson said. “We thought that would be a good number. It very rapidly became 500 people a night and by the end, we played to 5,000 (total).” As part of its 30th anniversary celebration, the troupe again will stage “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” from June 30 through July 31. “We keep building,” artistic director John S. Kuhn said. “This is going to be a big year for us in a lot of ways.” The season will begin with a collaborative production between Actors’ Theatre and the Columbus School for Girls. “The Trojan Women,” by Greek playwright Euripides, will be presented March 3-6 at CSG, 56 S. Columbia Ave. The Winter Cool Classic Series will return in 2011 with a production of James Thurber’s “The Male Animal.” Performances are scheduled April 7-17 at the Columbus Performing Arts Center, 1111 E. Broad St. Actors’ Theatre will kick off its summer season with “The Scarlet Pimpernel” by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. This adaptation, written and directed by Kuhn, will be presented Thursday through Sunday at 8 p.m. from May 26 to June 26 in Schiller Park. The season will wrap up with “Oedipus Rex” by Greek writer Sophocles. Performances are scheduled Aug. 4 through Sept. 4. Actors’Theatre has come a long way since its inception, Kuhn said. Attendance is now pushing 21,000 per year. He said the troupe is seen as a cost-effective alternative to other types of entertainment. Actors’ Theatre does not charge for its performances but seeks donations from audience members. “The community has embraced it for so long and still is so supportive,” Kuhn said. “Our numbers have been building in recent years.” Performances have changed, too. Actor’s Theatre is no longer limited to a summer season or one venue, as it stages multiple productions throughout the year at several venues in central Ohio. “The growth that I’ve seen, especially in the last two to three years, in audience size is really quite wonderful,” said Frank Barnhart, executive director of the theater company. “It seems more people

Patricia Ellson holds a program from the Actors’ Theatre of Columbus’ first performance in the summer of 1981. Ellson, who is flanked by Actors’ Theatre executive director Frank Barnhart (left) and artistic director John S. Kuhn, helped found the local acting company with the performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” 30 years ago.
are finding out about Actors’Theatre and taking advantage of the variety of productions we’re doing. It’s not just Shakespeare anymore.” The troupe has pushed for a more creative dynamic over the years, staging classic works and more contemporary pieces, as well as musicals, Kuhn said. In 2009, for example, the organization put on “As You Like It” with life-size puppets sharing the stage with actors. “We’ve been gearing shows for broader appeal,” Kuhn said. “I think we’re moving in the right direction. I think the quality of shows is improving.” Ellson recalls when Actors’ Theatre was a ragtag group of actors who would dress in her living room, walk through German Village in full regalia to the park and mingle with the crowd after the performance. The troupe achieved nonprofit status six months after it formed. Ellson left in the late 1990s when she had children, though she has done occasional work with the theater since then. “I’m thrilled that it’s still around,” said Ellson, who now lives in Upper Arlington. “I feel very proud that something that started as, ‘Hey kids, we got a park, let’s do something,’ is still going strong 30 years later. It’s tribute to the audience.” Bill Bragg got involved from the beginning when his wife, Vicky Welsh Bragg, landed a role in the original production. Bragg said he has always worked behind the scenes as a sound designer, production manager and managing director. These days, the professional musician is back to sound design. “From my point of view, it’s been intriguing to watch them,” he said. “You’re not often able to be part of the birth of an institution and watch it grow, so that’s been really fascinating for me.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
