Community garden wins Governor’s Award By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Reynoldsburg’s first community garden not only won first-place honors from the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association, it received the group’s first Governor’s Award, presented during its annual conference Feb. 9-11 in Cincinnati. The Livingston Community Garden was a collaborative effort by Truro Township and the Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department.
In December, the OPRA announced the garden had won a first-place award for environmental programming, which made it eligible to receive the Governor’s Award. Out of the 24 eligible entries, the top three finalists were Reynoldsburg, Westerville and Kettering. OPRA executive director Woody Woodward said the Governor’s Award was established to show how parks and recreation departments around Ohio are affecting people’s lives.
“The chiefs at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources chose what they felt was the best in show among the 24 and they selected Reynoldsburg,” Woodward said. He said one factor that led to Reynoldsburg winning top honors was the level of partnership used to complete the project. “It was the project and the work they were able to do over there and making it one that changed a lot of folks’ lives in the community for very little dollars
— that was very attractive,” Woodward said. “By comparison … they have a small parks and rec department but they beat out some of the real Cadillac parks and rec programs that are well known around the state. It was exciting to see them receive this award.” Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department director Jason Shamblin said receiving the Governor’s Award was “incredibly exciting.”
“
We’re doing a lot of positive things here in the community and it’s good to get some recognition for that.

Haire: New businesses reflect an improving economy By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dr. Edmund Lee Komraus chats with longtime patient Tracy Grove-Breeckner at his office Feb. 11. Komraus is retiring after 51 years practicing optometry in Reynoldsburg.
Optometrist retires after 51 years By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Former Reynoldsburg City Council member Dr. Edmund Lee Komraus will spend more time with his family and catch up on some fishing in his retirement, but said he will badly miss his full-time optometry practice. His last full week of practicing ended last Friday, Feb. 11. He plans to continue to work one Wednesday per week up until June, after which the practice will continue to operate under Dr. James Pipo. Komraus said he does not call it a business, but rather a family-oriented practice. “There’s no two ways about it: It’s based simply upon doing unto others as you’d have them do unto you,” he said. “And the people who come in, they’re not just patients, they’re family. And the good Lord has blessed me with this, they’ve stayed with me for many, many years.” Born and raised in Euclid, Ohio, Komraus, 76, attended Ohio State University, receiving a bachelor of science degree in physiological optics in 1959, a degree in ophthalmology in 1960, and his therapeutic license in 1964. He said his best friend’s father inspired him to what become an optometrist. “It was his dad that influenced me with his

gentle manner, and the way he treated the family, that impressed me to no end,” Komraus said. He and his wife, Susan, who passed away in 1999, moved to Reynoldsburg in 1960, where they raised four children: Kimber Lee Flexon, Kevin Lee Komraus, Kristi Lee Eubanks and Kurt Lee Komraus. The four share the same middle name in honor of their father and grandfather, Rudolf Lee Dixon. Kimber graduated from Reynoldsburg High
School in 1973, Kevin in 1975, Kristi in 1977 and Kurt in 1979. Komraus said he began his practice in July 1960. His first office was in the building where Hunter’s Florist is currently located on East Main Street in Olde Reynoldsburg. The practice soon moved to what was known as Kings Courts, the current location of Reynoldsburg municipal building. He said he remained at that location, which is close to Blacklick Creek, until a flood overcame in the late 1970s. Despite the flood, he was still able to maintain his practice but in 1978 decided to construct the building where the practice is now, a couple of blocks east on Main Street in Olde Reynoldsburg. Komraus was appointed by then-Mayor Kenny Francis to represent Ward 3 on city council in February 1979. He was then elected to the seat in 1980. He resigned from council in January 1983 and was elected to an at-large council seat, which he held from 1983 through 1985. In 1986, Francis appointed him to serve as Reynoldsburg’s safety director for a year, after which he left the public arena and continued on with his optometry practice. See OPTOMETRIST, page A6
Council delays action on phone system bids By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Reynoldsburg City Council delayed a decision Monday on a request by service director Jim Miller to advertise for bids on a new telephone system for all city buildings. The issue will be back on the finance committee’s agenda for further discussion during its Feb. 21 meeting.
Councilman Fred Deskins, also chairman of the finance committee, would only say the matter needs more discussion. Miller’s request to advertise for bids on a new telephone system first arose during the finance committee’s last meeting on Feb. 7. Committee chairman Fred Deskins asked then why the city hired a consultant to prepare a request for proposals (RFP) for a new telephone system instead
of asking telephone companies to come in and do one on their own without any cost. “Can we get somebody from the outside with the knowledge of putting a system in if you already know what you want?” Deskins asked. “There’s different companies out there that will give you a proposal on what they can do for you … without any cost.” Mayor Brad McCloud explained
the city does not have the in-house expertise available to properly assess what its telephone system needs are, thus hiring a consultant will ensure officials know exactly what they need so they can get the best price. “I would not let someone write the specs for free and then let them bid on it … that makes me queasy,” McCloud said.
By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Etna Township sponsored an educational meeting Feb. 7 to examine the protection of drinkingwater supplies in Etna Township and Southwest Licking County. Don Rector, director of the Southwest Licking Community Water and Sewer District, said water and sewer capacity is a resource that people assume will always be available but must be managed. “Safe, reliable drinking water is one of those things that sometimes can be taken for granted, but be assured, it is vital to the success of this community,” Rector said. “Providing water and for that matter sanitary sewer resources is inSee ETNA STUDIES, page A2

Reynoldsburg development director Lucas Haire said one sign the economy is turning the corner for the better is the number of new businesses and restaurants opening in the city. Thirty-eight permits for new businesses were issued in 2010, up from 24 in 2009, he said. So far this year, the city hasn’t granted any permits for new restaurants, but Haire said many of those that received permits last year are planning to open soon. “There’s quite a few that are opening up that we permitted in November and December,” he said. “It just means things are turning around.” A FirstWatch restaurant at 2227 BaltimoreReynoldsburg Road (state Route 256) opened its doors on Monday, Feb. 14. It is the ninth location the popular breakfast, brunch and lunch chain has opened in central Ohio in the past 10 years. Haire said FirstWatch is occupying space that used to be a Vitamin Source store; it closed in the spring of 2010. “We continue to look for opportunities in central Ohio and it fit our criteria,” FirstWatch chief marketing officer Chris Tomasso said. “We liked it and thought it was a good next restaurant for us to continue to grow out the market.” He said the restaurant employs about 25 people and seats 120. It is open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily, serving breakfast, brunch and lunch only. Tomasso said FirstWatch operates some 85 stores spanning 11 states, predominantly east of the Mississippi River. Plans are to open between 15 and 20 more restaurants and expand into 13 states by the end of the year.

ETNA STUDIES Continued from page A1 strumental in any type of development we have here; whether it is commercial, warehouses, interchanges, residential, it is vital to protect those resources.” Township resident Mark Schaff, a member of the township economic development committee and the comprehensive land-use committee, said he hoped that the township would work to incorporate water protection standards into its future land-use plans. “I hope that’s one of the results of this meeting,” Schaff said. “It’s very important to get a written drinking water source protection plan incorporated into our zoning regulations and our comprehensive plan.” Ohio EPA geologist Michael Bondoc described the characteristics of groundwater aquifers, noting that the bedrock that underlies the state has valleys and hills carved by millennia of geographic changes, and that these hills and valleys are then altered by backfill of clays and sand and gravel that affect where water collects from the natural weather cycle. The result is a widely varying system where water flows in underground rivers, in some places producing large amounts of water and in other places producing hardly any water at all. Even in places
where water flows at high rates, Bondoc said, it can take one year to five years for groundwater to move a significant distance underground. “If a contaminate were released somewhere along this line (describing high flow areas), it might take five years to travel to the well field,” Bondoc said. “We look more closely at the wells where there might be more of an immediate threat, and in that case we use a 1 year time of travel.” Activities within the “inner management zone” that represents a one-year time of travel receive the most attention. “We want more stringent protection of activities in that area,” Bondoc said. Rector said that areas that have heavy clay act as a sort of barrier, while areas full of lose sand act as transmission areas for water. “Sometimes you get a nice thick layer of clay that is a good barrier and sometimes you don’t,” Rector said. Bondoc said there are three steps to protecting water, with first step being to identify where the groundwater flow is, the second step doing an inventory of activities that represent sources of pollutants, and the third step being a plan to respond to the threats. Possible threats are septic tanks, surface runoff and commercial
NEW BUSINESSES and industrial activities, including farming and transportation. Merely identifying sources of pollution is not necessarily a problem. “It does not mean they have contaminated the aquifer or they will,” Bondoc said. “It’s just something the community ahs to consider when they are planning for the future and planning to protect the aquifer.” Daniel Leavell, assistant professor of geology at Ohio State University Newark Campus, said it is important to try to encourage industrial activities in areas with low groundwater risk and not in the middle of highly productive aquifers. “This is an expression I’m sure you’ve all heard, it goes for a lot of things, but if you have a good well field the best thing you can do is keep it a good well field,” Leavell said. “Having (risky activity) right in the middle of a well field is not a good idea. Be careful of land use.” But Leavell said the challenge was balancing needed activity against unavoidable risks. “What’s hard is making the decisions, the land use decisions,” Leavell said. “You have to prioritize your contaminants, you have to have protective strategies, and you have to decide what can you afford to do and what can you afford not to do.”
“It means we were able, in 2010, to affect the community in a good way,” he said. “One of the factors was the collaboration we had with Truro Township and all the volunteers that put a lot of time and energy in working on it.” He said the joint venture with the township also involved residents and businesses, including Fisher’s Gardens, Reynoldsburg High School’s Green Teens Club, Sustainable Reynoldsburg, Crossroads Community Development Corp., Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church, East Liv-
ingston Baptist Church and the Girl Scouts of America. “We’re doing a lot of positive things here in the community and it’s good to get some recognition for that,” Shamblin said. “Sometimes it gets overshadowed with everything else that’s going on.” The Livingston Community Garden behind the Truro Township Fire Station 162 at 6305 E. Livingston Ave. takes up about a quarter-acre of a 5.5-acre plot owned by Truro Township. The township donated the land and the city was responsible for promoting and maintaining the garden. Shamblin said after the garden opened last spring, its 10-foot by

Continued from page A1 “We’re really excited about being there and in Columbus. That whole area has just been great for us over the years and we’re glad to put another restaurant there,” Tomasso said. “We continue to look for additional locations there. We’re always on the hunt to build out our core market and we consider that to be a core market.” Haire said the city has approved building permits for Complete Nutrition, a vitamin store that is scheduled to open sometime in March in the former location of Rotolo’s Pizza, 2056 Baltimore-Reynoldsburg Road. “We had two pizza places close last year, Rotolo’s and then Taranto’s Pizza closed down,” Haire said. “It’s not because their pizzas are bad; it’s just a very competitive market.” In addition, he said the Loving Hut vegan restaurant will open in the next few weeks in the Blacklick Plaza at the southwest corner of Baldwin Road and East Livingston Avenue and a new take-out-only Chinese restaurant, Happy Star Chinese, is slated to open soon in the strip mall at the corner of Haft Road and East Main Street. “These restaurants opening offer different options for people and bring new jobs to the community, gets people working, more places for people to shop and eat and makes for a better quality of life in the city,” Haire said. “The economy is definitely turning around. It’s slow, but I think a lot more activity is going on.” dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

OUT ON THE STREET 20-foot plots were rented quickly. Because of its success, the parks and recreation department is working on opening another community garden in Civic Park this year. He said plans are to have the garden open sometime this spring, but so far, the first need is to find a good location for it in the park. Plots for the Livingston Community Garden cost $30 annually for residents, $40 for nonresidents. Shamblin said those interested in renting a plot in 2011 should call the Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department at (614) 322-6806. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
We sometimes grow so accustomed to the noise around us that we tend not to realize just how insidious it actually is. Such may be the case with the street noise that we have become so accustomed to hearing in our cities. Traffic noise, sirens, and crowd noise may pose a bigger threat to hearing than we might think. For instance, when researchers recently measured the nose in 60 spots around New York City, they found that 98 percent of their measurements exceeded 70 decibels. This level can cause irreversible hearing damage over time. While not all of us live in such noisy environments, this study makes a good case for wearing earplugs for those who do. Our noisy world offers no guarantees that we’ll have perfect hearing throughout our lives. We must accept the responsibility of protecting our hearing, in our home and work environments and our recreational pursuits, and do all we can to correct impairments. If you don’t hear as well as you feel you should, don’t wait until you feel left out. Have your hearing checked.

Columbus’ rivers did not provide a useful waterway

Etna Township comprehensive planning committee hearing set Strength of public interest at March 29 meeting will decide if there will be more By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
With the opening of the Scioto Mile, the Scioto River will once again be an attraction that will draw people both to downtown and the city as a whole. After all, people were drawn to the forks of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers a couple of centuries ago because the water was clear and clean. And it was widely believed that a place where two rivers came together would soon be a center of profitable river trade. The water was clear and clean and had been drawing people to its banks for several thousand years. Native Americans lived here for centuries and built large Indian mounds nearby. Mound Street is named for one of them. Thousands of deer came down to the river to drink in molting season and covered the water in a blanket of shedding deer fur. With a wry directness, Native American gave the stream a new name — “Hairy River.” But the profitable river trade the pioneers expected to undertake with
huge cargo laden flatboats was not to be. The river was too narrow in many places and the current too treacherED ous. Only at a few times of LENTZ year was the water high enough to carry the great flatboats. And at that time the current was so swift that many boats were lost. The pioneer settlements of central Ohio were rather isolated for a number of years. Until the canal came. Canals are not a new idea. One can find them at any number of places in the ancient world where people needed an artificial waterway for one reason or another. But canals are expensive to build and costly to maintain. For that reason they are often built by governments and not by private enterprise. As the land across the Appalachian Mountains began to

be settled after the American Revolution, men like Henry Clay began to argue that government should finance “internal improvements” like roads, canals and river work to “open the West” to commerce. And all of this should be financed by the federal government. Of course many people in the East were not thrilled with the idea that their taxes should subsidize public works that would help the Ohio River valley compete with their own commerce. So canals were more a dream than a reality for a number of years. Then the extraordinary success of the Erie Canal linking the East to the Great Lakes captured the imagination of the country in the years after the War of 1812. Soon many Ohioans were talking about canals and building one in the state. But talk was really the only result. Like many other times in the state’s history, forceful leadership was needed to bring canals to Ohio. In this case, that leadership was provided by Ethan Allen Brown. As early as 1816, Brown, a Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, had written to Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York seeking information about the canal system of that state. When Brown was elected governor in 1818, he proposed building a canal and continued to press for its construction. In the end the Ohio General Assembly agreed and studies were made as to possible locations. Two major canal systems — the Miami and Erie in the west and the Ohio and Erie in the east — were built with the support and supervision of a number of people as committed to the project as Gov. Brown had been. Important among them was Alfred Kelley. Kelley had come to Columbus in 1816 to represent Cleveland in the assembly. He served for the next several decades, eventually representing Columbus as well. As a member of the Canal Commission he personally supervised the construction of much of the canal. When the economic depression of the 1830s threatened Ohio’s ability to pay interest due on its canal bonds, Kelley would pledge his own Columbus home as colSee COLUMBUS’, page A5
The Etna Township comprehensive planning committee met Feb. 8 to make final changes to its comprehensive plan, which has been under review and revision since 2008 and has been the subject of several meetings throughout 2010. Committee members agreed to set a public hearing for March 29 at 7 p.m. at the township hall, and depending upon public interest to make a decision that night or possibly at a meeting the next day, March 30. Committee member Mark Schaff recommended that the committee announce publicly that no decision would be made that night, but concerns about meeting requirements under state law and uncertainty about whether members of the public would attend the meeting led the committee to avoid making any commitment before the March 29 meeting. “I recommend that we announce ahead of time that we’ll have a public hearing, but that we’ll make a decision at a subsequent meeting,” Schaff said. “It can be shortly thereafter. I’m not trying to delay anything, but I think it helps keep emotions down if people know going into a public hearing that the decision will not be made that night. It gives time for people to calm
down and consider the content of the public comments.” Township zoning administrator Chris Harkness said it could depend on public interest. “If we have no one show up or two people show up, that’s a little different than if we have 30 people show up and make a lot of comments,” Harkness said. “I would agree if there are a lot of public comments or the crowd is sort of unruly, then it’s good to take time. But I suspect that participation and interest will die way down, and I’d hate to see us have to reschedule a meeting just to come back when we could have decided that night.” The plan includes many land use goals, including preserving the rural character of Etna Township even in the face of development. Among polices that could be adopted by township trustees is setting large lot sizes and using agricultural easements. Other aspects of the plan include pollution control, industrial development and residential zoning standards, such as maximum height requirements. When the planning committee finishes its work, the plan will be forwarded to the zoning commission, which will then take action it believes appropriate. The proposed plan will include responsible parties and timelines for actions, such as approving lot sizes.

Daycare centers are a growth industry in city By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Retail centers and restaurants aren’t the only growing businesses in Reynoldsburg: the number of daycare centers in the city continues to increase. Development director Lucas Haire said 13 daycares currently exist in the city. Four have opened in the last year in one particular area, with two more possible this year. “We have had so many daycares open in the city just in the last year, and all are in the Brice-Livingston area,” Haire said. “There‘s obviously a demand for it and the city is pleased that these businesses are choosing to locate in this area and meeting the growing need for child care.” The businesses include Michael’s “lil” Angels Daycare Center at 1733 Brice Road; A Child’s Place Learning Center at 1616 Brice Road; and A Place of Our Own at 1713 Brice Road.
Nearby on East Livingston Avenue are Bright Beginnings and a second A Place of Our Own, which is an expansion of the Brice Road location. In addition, Haire said, two more daycares have applied to open in the city and are currently under review before the Board of Zoning and Building Appeals. They are Supreme Childcare Academy at 6161 Radekin Road and Success Kidz 24-hour Enrichment at 2051 Birchview Drive South. “These businesses show improvements to the city and are important, not only to the area but further the goals of the Brice and Livingston Strategic Plan the city set in motion over a year ago,” Haire said. Sabrina Woodford, a resident of Reynoldsburg and owner of A Place of Our Own, has been in the daycare business for 38 years. She sais she decided to open her businesses mainly because there is a big need in the area for before- and after-school
programs, and because she lives nearby —- which means she doesn’t have to travel too far. “Before-and-after programs are needed and I just do school-aged kids, from 5 years to 12 years old,” Woodford said. Since opening on Brice Road in October, business has begun to pick up, although not as fast as she wants, she said. “I had been looking for a site for way over a year, and when I went to the city for the zoning permit, that’s when I found out there were so many others on the same street,” Woodford said. She said daycare centers are important because they assist working parents and provide jobs for people in the community. Between her two locations Woodford said she employs seven people, three at the Brice Road location and four at the Livingston branch. Woodford said the average rate for
daycare centers ranges between $65 and $90. The majority of her clients pay through a Franklin County subsidy program, she said. Subsidized child care programs are offered through Franklin County Job and Family Services. Recipients are eligible based on income and the size of their families. James Matthews, who co-owns A Child’s Place Learning Center with his wife, Lorrie, said about 90 to 95 percent of their clients receive county subsidies for child care. He said they employ six people, including his wife, who has been in the daycare business for 13 years. Since opening in August 2010, business has been good, he said. “Business has picked up and we’re four kids away from our maximum capacity, which is 33, so it has been good,” Matthews said. He said when they were doing research

prior to opening their business, they noticed there were no daycares in that vicinity of Brice Road. Soon after going through the application and zoning process with the city, Matthews said he and his wife realized that others had noticed the same thing and were beginning to open daycare businesses, too. “We knew Brice Road was a pretty busy road — lots of walkers, lots of traffic — so we said, ‘hey, if there are not a lot of them open right now, there’s an opportunity here,’ so it seemed to be a logical place,” Matthews said. “Our enrollment is just about full and I imagine it seems with the others there is enough people to go around,” he said. “Judging by what we’ve seen with the other daycares around, we’re more or less able to kind of share the wealth.” dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Columbus’ rivers did not provide a useful waterway Continued from page A4 lateral to ensure payment on the bonds. Through the efforts of Kelley and many others, Columbus was linked to the main line of the Ohio and Erie Canal by a Feeder Canal that entered the city near the place where Bicentennial Park is today. In 1860, a state arsenal — now the Cultural Arts Center — would be built next to the canal to permit easy movement of arms and ordnance in and out of the capital city.
The canal and the recently arrived National Road transformed Columbus. As late as 1832, Columbus was a frontier village of a few thousand people. By 1834, Columbus was a city of five thousand people. Large numbers of travelers and immense quantities of freight arrived by both road and water and more than a few Columbus residents made their fortune in the new crossroads capital city. The canal and its people captured the imagination of the city. Longtime resident Emily Stewart later remembered,
“The first canal boats seemed like fairy palaces. They were painted white and the windows had green shutters and scarlet curtains. The inside panels of the cabins contained pictures and mirrors. The officers of the passenger boats were gentlemen. The cabin was a dining and sitting room in the daytime, but was converted into a sleeping apartment at night. There were staterooms at each end for the ladies, whose comfort was further promoted by the attentions of a polite and diligent stewardess. For years after the canal was
opened, the boats always came in with a band of music playing on board. The captain of the boat usually played the clarinet for the entertainment of the passengers…” But all of this growth and success came with a price. The riverfront between the Main Street Canal Basin and the Broad Street Bridge came to be filled with docks for canal boats and warehouses lined the waterfront. Factories, inexpensive housing and even less attractive taverns soon followed. The river, once clear and pris-
tine, soon became little more than an open sewer and a place few people willingly visited for leisurely recreation. The golden age of the Ohio and Erie Canal lasted for less than 30 years. By 1850, the first railroad had arrived in Columbus and within a few years, the canal began a long, slow decline. An attempt to revive the canal around the turn of the century was unsuccessful.

Surgery an option for sinus issues Frequent sinus infections in children are a common problem, especially for children in daycare settings. The average child can have six to 10 upper respiratory tract infections a year that have symptoms including nasal discharge and blockage. Other factors that contribute to frequent sinus infections are environmental allergies, exposure to second-hand smoke, immunodeficiency, congenital craniofacial anomalies and some inherited conditions. Children with lung problems such as asthma and cystic fibrosis often have related sinus problems. Most viral infections will resolve without treatment. A small percentage will progress to bacterial sinusitis that will require antibiotics for treatment. Narrowing or blockage of the nasal passages or sinus openings may increase the chances that a cold will progress to bacterial sinusitis. Often, children may need medication to help treat sinus problems. This could include nasal steroids, nasal saline, mucous-thinning medications called mucolytics and some allergy medications such as anti-histamines. In a small percentage of children, surgery may be necessary to relieve the blockage and open the sinuses or nasal passages. Prior to any surgery, a thorough work-up is necessary in order to determine the appropriate treatment course. Younger children do not typically need surgery on the sinuses as their sinuses are still developing. Younger children with frequent sinus infections often have their adenoid, a patch of tissue located where the nose and throat join,

removed. The adenoid can be a haven for bacteria and can often block the nasal passages. Removing the adenoid is a simple and painless surgery that can be very effective. When the sinus problem CHARLES is more involved than an enELMARAGHY larged adenoid, the sinuses need to be imaged via a special X-ray called a CT scan. A CT scan is the best way to investigate the anatomy of the sinuses and determine if the openings of the sinuses are blocked. If sinus openings are blocked, they can be enlarged using special instruments and a small camera called an endoscope. This is called endoscopic sinus surgery. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Rhinology Clinic is unique in that it offers allergy testing and endoscopic evaluation during the same visit. This allows both the allergist and otolaryngologist to determine an appropriate treatment plan. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider prior to starting or stopping any treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Dr. Charles Elmaraghy is a member of the Department of Otolaryngology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of clinical otolaryngology at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.

COUNCIL DELAYS Continued from page A1 The motion was later approved and sent on to city council for action on Feb. 14. After Monday’s council meeting, Miller said a consultant was hired for $8,500 to assess technical information on the city’s phone system, prepare the RFP to use to advertise for bids from telephone companies and to review each one and recommend the best one for Reynoldsburg. He said the issue is identical to any engineering project he would approach council for, such as asking for $9,000 to prepare bid books for the city’s street program and to request authorization to advertise for bids. “It is no different, it’s just a phone system rather than streets,” Miller said. “In this case, the mayor spent $8,500 to prepare bids and specifications for a new phone system for this city and now we’re asking them to authorize us to bid it.” As to whether spending $8,500 on a consultant is worth it in the long run, Miller said, “How do you know it’s not if you don’t? That’s the better question. “If I asked 10 telephone companies for 10 proposals, how do I know which is the best proposal for the city? How do I know they are comparing apples to apples?” he said. Miller said the purpose of having a consult-

Police reports
ant do such a job is to make sure the current system is assessed properly; the same RFP is prepared for all interested companies to review and send back their proposals. “If I have to spend $8,500 to be accountable for something that I’m going to spend maybe six figures on, maybe between $100,000 and $200,000, you bet I’ll spend $8,500,” Miller said. Councilman Mel Clemens said the issue will be discussed further at the finance committee meeting on Monday. The city’s current system, which includes 144 telephones, has been in service since 2003 and is maintained by Century Link. That company told the city last year the system needs to be upgraded. Miller said Century Link also told the city last year it cannot maintain the system unless it is upgraded. He said after March 16, maintenance will be on a case-by-case basis until either upgrades are made or a new phone system is installed. Miller said if city council does decide to approve his request to advertise for bids and a company is ultimately chosen for the job, installation of a new phone system may be completed in late June. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

League features tourney favorites
Raiders may play several familiar foes
I don’t see it happening this year, but it certainly would be no big surprise if all three Division I girls basketball district-champion trophies awarded March 5 at Olentangy Liberty High School go to members of the OCC-Ohio Division. That was the case a year ago when KURTIS Reynoldsburg, ADAMS Pickerington North and Gahanna emerged from their respective brackets to turn the regional at Otterbein into a de facto OCC-Ohio postseason tournament. The Raiders won it in classic March Madness style, too, stunning North 45-34 in the final as coach Dave Butcher lost to a Reynoldsburg team for the first time in his career. Now, the top-seeded Raiders are looking like a virtual lock in their bracket. They swept North during the regular season to capture their first OCC-Ohio title and show that last year’s upset was no fluke. Moreover, nobody from central Ohio has beaten them yet. North, meanwhile, is seeded fifth and is the second-lowest seeded team in its bracket behind third-seeded Olentangy Orange, which I think might be in over its head should the Pioneers advance to meet the Panthers in the final as the seedings indicate. Butcher has won seven consecutive district championships at North, 22 in a row overall and 24 in 27 seasons over the course of his career. There’s little reason to believe those streaks won’t continue, especially given that senior post player and Villanova-signee Kavunaa Edwards is one of the area’s best players right now. That brings us to the other bracket, where second-seeded Northland could be the team that eventually crashes the OCC-Ohio postseason party. Despite Northland’s 60-52 loss to Africentric in the City League championship game Feb. 12, there’s a lot to like about the Vikings, who finished 18-1 in the regular season. They have a group of proven scorers, veteran leadership and enough size on the baseline to thwart the challengers in their bracket, seventh-seeded Gahanna included. If the seedings hold, we’ll see Gahanna and eighth-seeded Newark clash in a district semifinal. Pay attention to that one because the future of the OCC-Ohio will be on display. Gahanna’s four sophomores, including point guard Quiera Lampkins, are playing key roles for the Lions, who might be 0-4 against Reynoldsburg and Pickerington North, but they are a combined 14-2 against everyone else. On the other bench, Newark has been rejuvenated by a bevy of promising underclassmen, including sophomore post player Paige Cashin and freshman shooting guard Maggie Mitchell.

Reynoldsburg’s Wendell Davis drives in to score against Gahanna’s Brien Winston on Jan. 7. The Raiders will play Independence at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Deb. 22, at Heath in the first round of the Division I district tournament.

At a glance
There was something strikingly familiar about the potential postseason journey the Reynoldsburg High School boys basketball team chose to take at the draw for the Division I district tournament on Feb. 13. Although the Raiders haven’t played their first-round opponent, Independence, in five seasons, several of the other teams in their bracket could provide motivation. Potential opponents in future rounds include top-seeded Westerville South, fifth-seeded Pickerington North, 11th-seeded Marion-Franklin, 16th-seeded Newark and 25th-seeded Pickerington Central. The Raiders lost to South 82-78 in overtime on Dec. 14, Marion-Franklin 71-68 in overtime on Feb. 5, OCC-Ohio Division-foe Newark 68-61 in overtime on Dec. 10 and 70-62 in overtime on Jan. 25, league-foe North 46-40 on Dec. 17 and 43-33 on Jan. 28, and league-rival Central 50-46 on Jan. 14. It’s possible the Raiders will have an opportunity to avenge many of those losses over the next 27 days. “When you look at all of the teams in that bracket, we kind of fit in,” coach Chris Rider said. “We played Newark in overtime twice, we lost to Westerville South in overtime and MarionFranklin in overtime and played two close games against Pickerington North. Each game is going to be tough, but that being said, I don’t think our guys will be scared to play any of them.” The Raiders fell to stateranked Gahanna 68-53 on Feb. 11 to fall to 8-11 overall. They led in the third quarter but trailed 48-45 after the quarter and were outscored 20-8 in the fourth quarter. Reynoldsburg closes the regular season Friday, Feb. 18, at Central. The Raiders then face Independence in their tournament opener at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at Heath, with the win-

If Reynoldsburg advances, it could face South in a district semifinal on March 5 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum and could play Newark or North in a district final on March 11 at the Fairgrounds. Independence won five of its final six of the regular season and is 12-8 overall. The 76ers are led by 6-foot-1 senior guard James Young, who averages 14.5 points and has started more than 60 varsity games. Terry Hopewell is a 6-7 junior post player who is the 76ers’ primary inside presence. He and senior guard Savaughn Collins each are averaging nine points. Tom Cripe, a 1989 Reynoldsburg graduate, is Independence’s coach. “(Reynoldsburg has) some younger talent this year and they’ve had a lot of success the last couple years,” Cripe said. “We’ve got a real good group of guys and I’m anxious to see what we can do against them.

Raiders capture outright OCC-Ohio title By KEN KITCHEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Reynoldsburg High School girls basketball team put the finishing touches its best regular-season record in program history on Feb. 11 when it defeated Gahanna 46-38 to improve to 19-1 overall. The Raiders, whose lone setback was a 34-29 loss to Kettering Fairmont on Nov. 27, finished 14-0 in the OCC-Ohio Division, marking their first OCC title since winning four in a row from 2000-03. Pickerington North finished second in the OCC-Ohio at 12-2, with Gahanna and Newark tying for third at 9-5. Pickerington Central was fifth See ADAMS, page B3 at 6-8, followed by Lancaster (4-10),
Grove City (1-13) and Groveport (1-13). “We showed a lot of pride to get through our league unscathed,” Raiders coach Jack Purtell said. “We persevered against many different styles of play. The top tier of our league is tremendous.” Reynoldsburg now begins its quest for the Division I state championship. The Raiders, ranked fifth in the state poll last week, are the top seed in the district tournament for the first time. “We’ve played a good schedule in a great league and it’s nice that people have recognized what we’ve done so far,” Purtell said. “We haven’t been the first seed before. We’ll have to get through some good teams, but we always take the attitude of you don’t

If Reynoldsburg advances, it would face 12th-seeded Hilliard Davidson, New Albany, Dublin Jerome or Groveport in a district semifinal at 6 p.m. March 2 at Olentangy Liberty and likely would play fourth-seeded Watterson or sixth-seeded Brookhaven in a district final at 7 p.m. March 5 at Liberty.

Continued from page B1 Last season, the Raiders won the program’s first district title in 19 seasons and advanced to a state semifinal, where they lost to eventual state champion Canton McKinley 42-39 in overtime. There are eight days between Reynoldsburg’s regular-season finale and its tournament opener, but the Raiders don’t see that as being a problem. “We’ll stay in the gym, keep a ball in our hands, stay fit in the weight room, run and even go to the (YMCA) to get more shots in,” junior Adesuwa Aideyman said. “We also have a good bond as a team. No team can win without chemistry.” “We will practice as much and as hard as we can so we will not get sloppy,” junior Aliyah Zantt said. “We will run to stay in shape and lift with (strength and conditioning coach Chris) Arp and stay strong.” Reynoldsburg also will use the time between games to get healthy. Guard Yamonie Jenkins left the game against Gahanna late in the third quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. Her status for the tournament opener is unknown. “We’ll try to keep things the same (this week) and have good practices and get ready (for the tournament),” Purtell said. “We’ll go out there and prepare ourselves for the opponents we have.” Purtell has seven quality players in his rotation, including Jenkins.

The combination of 6-foot sophomore Destini Cooper and 6-2 freshman Alyssa Rice gives Reynoldsburg a solid inside presence. Sophomore Shiloh Murphy can play inside and outside and has made 35 percent of her 3point attempts. Typically is the second player off the bench, Aideyman was the Raiders’ leading scorer in two games. Against Gahanna, she made three 3-pointers in a span of 2 minutes, 30 seconds in the second half that turned Reynoldsburg’s 26-25 deficit into a 34-30 advantage. Defensively, senior guard Kacia Grant leads the team. In fact, according to Purtell, Grant is the best defender he has coached in his career.

Members of the Reynoldsburg High School boys and girls swimming and diving teams know they will be facing a big challenge when they compete in the Division I district meet on Friday, Feb. 18, and Saturday, Feb. 19, at Ohio State. The top three finishers in each swimming event and top four finishers in diving automatically advance to the state meet Feb. 2426 at the C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. Eleven at-large berths in each swimming event also will be awarded based on times statewide. Four Reynoldsburg boys will compete in four total events and four girls will compete in one relay at district. “They’re competing against the same swimmers (as the Upper Arlington sectional on Feb. 12), but they’re all going to be grouped together now,” coach Susan Tonjes said. “Plus, all the swimmers will be more tapered than they were (at sectional).” To have any chance to qualify for state, the Raiders will need to post their best times in their respective events. That means Reynoldsburg’s younger swimmers must overcome the pressure that comes with competing at district. Among those swimmers are freshmen Chad Kilpatrick and Sarah Kohs, both of whom will compete at district as a member of a relay. Kilpatrick will compete on the boys 200-yard freestyle and 200 medley relays, and Kohs will swim on the girls 200 free relay. “Chad handles pressure pretty well, and he’s been at some big events,” Tonjes said. “He’s just such a competitor that I’m not worried about him. Sarah, I thought she could’ve qualified individually (for district), but she was sick and injured leading up to the sectional. I think they’ll handle it well.” Reynoldsburg performed about as well as could be expected at the sectional. The top two fin-

Girls team tries to overcome semifinal slump By CORY STEGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Hartley High School girls basketball team lost in a Division II district semifinal the past two seasons, and the Hawks know getting past that hurdle won’t be easy this season. The sixth-seeded Hawks, who lost in a district semifinal the past two seasons, open the tournament with a second-round game against Lakewood at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, at Marysville. If Hartley advances, it could face top-seeded Olentangy in a district semifinal at 8 p.m. March 1 at Pickerington North and likely would face third-seeded Hilliard Bradley, seventh-seeded Bexley, eighth-seeded DeSales or 11thseeded Licking Valley in a district final at 8:30 p.m. March 3 at Ohio Dominican University. “(Playing Olentangy) would be a huge game,” coach Mike Lanza said. “It was a tough decision to make as to where to go on the bracket, and we kind of felt this was the best place for us. There’s never going to be an easy semifinal game.” Hartley gained momentum heading into the tournament with a 51-49 overtime win over Watterson on Feb. 5. The loss was Watterson’s first in CCL play. Jaana Motton led the Hawks with 13 points. Anna Kirk and Robin Kraus had 11 points apiece and Jyla Hicks scored 10. “It was a real big game, and we were real pleased with the outcome,” Lanza said. The win wasn’t enough to capture the CCL title. The Hawks finished 6-2 in the league, one game behind Watterson (7-1). DeSales was third at 4-4, followed by Ready (2-6) and Columbus Schools for Girls (1-7). Lanza said he is pleased with the way his team has played despite having a challenging regular-season schedule, which he thinks has helped the Hawks prepare for the postseason. “I think we’ve handled pressure a lot better, and we’ve been able to hold our poise down the

stretch of games and finish,” Lanza said. “We’re hoping that carries over into the tournament.” •The wrestling team heads to the Division II sectional tournament on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Hilliard Bradley. The top four finishers in each weight class advance to the district tournament on Feb. 25-26 at Columbus East. Other seeds in the sectional with the 10th-seeded Hawks are Olentangy (No. 1), Jonathan Alder (No. 2), Whitehall (No. 4), Bradley (No. 7) and London (No. 11). “Everybody that’s in the lineup has a shot to qualify for district,” coach Kevin Petrella said. “I think it helps that, as a whole, the Central District in Division II this year is a little thin, at least more so than in the past. As a team, I think a top-four or topfive finish would be a goal.” The Hawks competed in the CCL meeton Feb. 12, finishing fourth (137 points) behind Ready (256.5), DeSales (183.5) and St. Charles (150), and ahead of Watterson (48). Evan Jackson (215 pounds) and Jordan Dickerson (heavyweight) were league champions. “I think we’ve just been getting better as the season has gone on,” Petrella said. “We’ve improved our technique and have been wrestling well. I’ve seen a lot of good stuff from the guys recently.” •Members of the boys and girls swimming and diving teams will compete in the Division II district meet on Friday, Feb. 18, and Saturday, Feb. 19, at Ohio State. The top three finishers in each boys swimming event, the top four finishers in each girls swimming event and the top two finishers in boys and girls diving automatically advance to the state meet Feb. 23-26 at the C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. The girls team finished second (204) behind champion Granville (281) and ahead of third-place Columbus Academy (190) in the sectional Feb. 12 at Columbus Academy. Andrea Cottrell won the 100-
ment, teams from the OCC-Ohio have combined to take 12 of the past 15 regional berths, with Dublin Coffman standing as the lone exception as it won district titles from 2007-09. Current members of the OCC-Ohio also swept the district championships in 2006 when Pickerington North, Gahanna and Pickerington Central won their respective brackets. Central captured the first of four consecutive district titles that season, and a stable of young guards coming up through its program tells me a similar run could be forthcoming. I don’t see that happening this year, but the route to Otterbein will run through the OCC-Ohio nonetheless.

Newark also is 14-2 when losses to North and Reynoldsburg are subtracted from the equation. That isn’t to say Reynoldsburg is going anywhere anytime soon, either. The Raiders start only one senior, and the rapid development of sophomores such as Destini Cooper and Alyssa Rice gives Reynoldsburg plenty of staying power. “It’s great to be young and good,” Newark coach J.R. Shumate said recently. “(Raiders coach) Jack (Purtell) has got it figured out.” In fact, the overall youth I see in the OCC-Ohio tells me that the league will continue to be showcased at the local regional for years to come.

We’ve played some solid defense and our shot selection has been what it should be.” The last time Reynoldsburg played Independence was during the Raiders’ district championship season in 2005-06. That year, the Raiders beat the 76ers 88-51 in the regular season and opened the tournament by beating Independence 61-52. While that Raiders team had a pair of strong seniors in Javonte’ Clanton and Evan Washington, this year they have a different look, as they are built around 6-4 sophomore forward Wendell Davis. Davis leads the team in scoring (14.3 ppg) and rebounding (9 per game). He is followed in scoring average by Spencer Kirksey (12.2), R.J. Raglin (8.2), Chris Lee (6.1), Josh Albrecht (5.5) and Ryan Carter (4.5). “I think we’re getting better,” Rider said. “We’ve been doing a better job of running our offense and being a little more patient. “We’re a real young team, and hopefully we’re coming around.”

1 Into its 16th year, RIVERDANCE still rules. It’s been seen live by more than 22 million people in 40 countries, has played more than 10,000 performances – and been written about by tens of thousands of Joe Moriarty arts writers all looking for the next clever play on words for something to do with feet and fast and Irish. Columbus native Joe Moriarty is the current lead in the dance spectacular, which plays five shows at the Palace Theatre Feb. 18-20. Tickets are $62.50-$22.50. Call (614) 469-0939. 2 Three days after Valentine’s
Day, The Orlando Consort presents “Amoré: Love and Marriage in the Italian Renaissance” at Capital University’s Mees Hall. Timeless and universal, these themes have inspired artists throughout history. The Orlando Consort will share some from but a brief period. Featured composers are Ciconia, Busnoys, Desprez, Mouton, Arcadelt and Verdelot. Tickets are $27/$22/$12. Call (614) 469-0939.

initely fits the bill. The British trio hasn’t gotten as much traction as compatriots like Coldplay or Muse, but Biffy boasts no less a flair for the dramatic. Moving Mountains opens for the Friday show. Tickets are $10/$12. Call 1-800-745-3000.
4 You’ve heard Broadway vet Liz Callaway’s voice even if you don’t know it. She’s also handled singing parts in animated features including Anastasia (performing the Academy Award-nominated Journey to the Past), Aladdin and the King of Thieves and Beauty and Liz Callaway the Beast, among a host of others. Of course, if you’ve seen the original casts of Miss Saigon, The Three Musketeers or The Look of Love, you’ve seen her and known it. Callaway joins the Columbus Symphony Orchestra for a pops concert celebrating the works of Stephen Sondheim (this year marks his 80th birthday) and Frank Loesser (marking the 100th an-
niversary of his birth) Saturday, Feb. 19, at the Ohio Theatre. Tickets are $66.50-$20.50. Call (614) 228-8600.
5 Pakistan-born and SoCal-
raised, jazz guitarist Rez Abbasi is a leading voice in bringing modern sounds of his native land to audiences in the U.S. and around the globe. His instrumental jazz outfit, Invocation, joins Abbasid for a performance of his program “Motherland” at the Wexner Center for the Arts Saturday, Feb. 19. The program sets Pakistani qawwali music in Abbasi’s contemporary jazz world. Tickets are $17. Call (614) 2923535.
of two powerful elements of popular culture, Brooklyn rock n’roll quartet Atomic Tom is perhaps best-known, and at least was initially-known, as a result of the video posted to YouTube of the band performing its song Take Me Out on four iPhones on the New York subway. Presumably, for the band’s Tuesday, Feb. 22, show at The Basement, they’ll have more traditional instruments and amps and what-have-you. Tickets are $10. Call 1-800745-3000.
8 It’s fair to say that Amy
Grant and Michael W. Smith were among the 4-5 artists that ushered in the modern era of Christian music. Arguments can be made on every side concerning whether that was a good thing, but their relevance to popular music can’t be denied. And now they’re on tour together again for the “2 Friends” tour, which makes a stop at Grove City Church of the Nazarene Tues6 Wow.

10 Jorge Gomez and his mu- traditional Cuban forms with Latin
sical compañeros were going to make timba music, despite what people told them about the challenges of finding audiences for the hybrid form among U.S. audiences. In 2000, Gomez found himself in Miami, reuniting with many friends from their days playing the clubs around Havana, Cuba. They had each had classical training alongside their cultural accumulation of Latin and Afro-Cuban musical styles like son, salsa and even santeria. And from Cuba, each had traveled with their families via a different geographical path to Miami — pianist/keyboardist Gomez first to Guatemala, others to far-flung places like Argentina, Italy and Spain. The friends were making music separately, in supporting bands for a number of top acts, but decided “we had to play this music we left behind,” Gomez told The Beat. “The first thing that came into my mind was that (timba) was the only thing we could do,” he added. “That or nothing.” Timba is a modern hybrid of
jazz, featuring instrumentation not typically found in Cuban music, resulting in something “a little deeper sounding and more energetic,” Gomez explained. The friends named their new band Tiempo Libre, or “free time,” as it started out as a side project for each. Despite what they were told about their music’s potential appeal to American audiences, Tiempo Libre didn’t stay a side project for long. “In 2004 we released our first album and got our first Grammy (Award) nomination. In 2006 we released our second album and got our second Grammy nomination,” Gomez related, with a chuckle that indicated he was being less than self-aggrandizing. Of course, those who told him it wouldn’t work had to be saying “OK, OK. We get the point.” Tiempo Libre has since earned a third Grammy nomination, and timba has taken Gomez and mates around the world. “U.S., Europe, Israel, Australia. We’re always getting a lot of support,” Gomez said. “It’s like ‘Wow, we know we’re doing the right thing.’”
Lots of vino and voluptuous food at Tucci’s in Dublin The first thing you notice when you tread into the terrific Tucci’s is a chalkboard with 16 special wines listed on it. These are all available in two-, four- and sixounce pours that will never be overoxidized because Tucci’s owns a fancy Enomatica machine. If you’ve never seen one, they’re sleek, state-of-the-art appliances that feature high-tech wine preservation systems and deliver automated pours. Given this fact — and the existence of about 150 more wines on Tucci’s menu — it’s clear vino is big here. But you could have gathered that from all the burgundyred accents in the casually elegant restaurant or from the convivial laughter bubbling up from its bustling, bottle-laden tables. Don’t think that Tucci’s is consistently busy just because of its hooch, though. No, this prettily
MENU by G.A. Benton golden-glowing eatery with both intimate and communal seating serves some of the best food around. Toss in a friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff, and you have one of the top-tier restaurants in the area. Tucci’s menu is big but not overwhelming. It’s filled with influences from Italy, Asia, California and even Hawaii. Most of these influences surface in the huge Outrigger Canoe Combo appetizer ($17). That fun, fry-happy app came with a boatload of: spicy scallops (perfectly “blackened,” served with a mustardy sauce and cooling gorgonzola); calamari laced with ba-

nana peppers and Parmesan (matched with a sort of Italian salsa); colorful Big Island Chips (made with root veggies like taro and lotus); and a shiitake, tomato and onion filled eggroll with a cit-
rusy soy sauce. For a more modest starter, pick the Bibb Salad ($7). Like an elegant upgrade from that popular and still-resurgent iceberg wedge, its tender leaves of bibb lettuce were coated in a horseradishy gorgonzola dressing and further flattered by crispy bacon lardons and diced tomatoes. Some of the best dining deals here are Tucci’s good, handmade pizzas ($10-$12) and stylish pastas ($10-$18, available in smaller sized and priced portions). From the latter, the Spaghetti Bolognese ($10 for the “small” — it was big) was a winner. A chunky, believable and completely delicious bolognese sauce was tossed with whole wheat pasta. The sophisticated entree had a complex, parmesan-enhanced richness slightly leavened by bits of bright tomato.
Tucci’s 35 N. High St., Dublin 614-792-3466 Web: tuccisbistro.com Cuisine: Italian Price: $$$ ($20-$30 per person) Patio: Yes Hours: 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Monday-Friday lunch, 5-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 5-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday Tucci’s proudly serves organically raised, grass-fed beef. This makes its great 14-ounce New York Strip Steak ($35) a relatively guiltrestrained splurge. Beautifully grillseared, it was thick and lean but super juicy and had a mild but nice “chew.” Its very fine plate mates (garlicky sauteed spinach and mushrooms, fingerling potatoes and a fruity “cabernet demi”) were
cleverly designed to keep the focus on the high-grade meat. Seafood’s prevalent here, too. It comes in various varieties and styles, but even fish eschewers probably couldn’t resist the refined fish-n-chips treatment of the Chorizo-Crusted Grouper ($23). I loved its crunchy crust (with bits of spicy sausage) and goat cheese potato cake as well as its spicy “tomatoscallion emulsion.” To finish, the buttery and caramel-y Apple Tartlette ($7) — with big clusters of candied nuts plus smoky, spicy and gingery notes — was more complex than I might’ve thought. Ditto for this excellent restaurant. To read G.A. Benton’s blog visit ColumbusDiningGuide.com.
Professional kitchen hopes to attract food entrepreneurs A vacant warehouse on the city’s East Side soon will be transformed into commercial kitchen for bakers, candy-makers and mobile push-cart operators. The Economic and Development Policy Institute is developing the 8,000-square-foot space as a way to encourage job growth through entrepreneurship, said Bob Kramer, director of food services and safety for the nonprofit agency. “The basis of the community bakery and commissary area is to provide a commercial setting for those food entrepreneurs who want to start a business,” said Kramer, former food-safety supervisor for Columbus Public Health. “At the same time we can provide them a menu of services, including business training, food-safety training, marketing and also loans, if necessary.” The facility, off I-670 at 1655 Old Leonard Ave., is expected to open by June 1. The space will be split up into to two areas. The bakery will have four
separate bake stations, each equipped with a convection oven, large mixer, preparation table, reach-in cooler, sinks, stovetop range and other necessary equipment. The mobile food-cart commissary will have individual cart storage units equipped with a secure fence and locked door, and other essential kitchen amenities. In addition, the warehouse will have a walk-in cooler and freezer available for cold storage along with an area for dry storage available for all who use the facility. State law allows some home-based companies to produce food – jellies, jams, pretzels and bread, for example – for resale. The EDPI facility, meanwhile, provides those businesses with an opportunity to expand by working with commercial equipment in a larger space that’s licensed by the Ohio Depart-

ment of Agriculture and Columbus Public Health, Kramer said. Push-cart operators, which are not self-sufficient and need to work from a base of operations, also could find the new facility attractive, he said. Kramer said that although a pricing structure has
not been set, the organization is looking at hourly rentals for the bakery and longer-term leases for the mobile food-cart commissary “We’re going to be open to whatever their needs are,” Kramer said. For more information, call 614-732-0896.
