District to measure students’ BMI By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers Bexley City Schools District officials will begin collecting student body mass index (BMI) — a measure of body fat based on height and weight — in the fall. Ohio law requires school districts to assess body mass index beginning this year, Bexley Superintendent Mike Johnson said. The requirement is part of the “Healthy Choices for Healthy Children”

bill intended to decrease and prevent childhood obesity in Ohio schools. State law requires districts to report an average for each grade level. Anne Hyland, director of curriculum and instruction for Bexley City Schools, said the state is requiring students to be assessed in kindergarten, third, fifth and ninth grade. Hyland said the district already has some initiatives in place that will make gathering the information a little easier.

“We are trying to do this in a way that is not disruptive to the classroom and children,” Hyland said. “It needs to be information that is collected in relative privacy.” Kindergartners already participate in an assessment in the fall where they receive vision and hearing assessments. Height and weight data will be collected at the same time, Hyland said. Students in third and fifth grades also have hearing and vision screenings in

the fall, Hyland said. The BMI data can be collected at that time. To go along with the assessments, district officials plan to incorporate some information about body mass index into the health curriculum. “We don’t want students making incorrect judgments about the information,” Hyland said. “We are worried students might think they are too heavy. All these children are growing. They are supposed to get stronger and taller.”

By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers Rokki Bonner and Korkeya Toney hope their new Bexley fitness facility will be a change of pace from the big-box fitness facilities that are common in the industry. Bonner and Toney held a grand opening for Fitness Navigators located at 2803 Delmar Avenue on Feb. 20. Both have Bexley-area ties. Toney is a Bexley resident and Bonner is a Berwick resident. The name Fitness Navigators was important because the two plan to help their members navigate fitness information and training. Toney said Fitness Navigators wants to help people meet fitness goals. “There is a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there,” Bonner said. “People are buying into things that don’t work.” Bonner has been working in the fitness industry in Bexley for seven years and offers a fitness boot camp she started at the Jewish Community Center. Toney worked for large-scale fitness facilities and said he has seen firsthand the mistakes that are made. “I want to take my business ideas of what we should be doing in the fitness industry and put it in place in my own (business),” he said. Bonner hoped to own her own facility within the next year but special circumstances allowed her to partner with Toney and resulted in a quick opening of Fitness Navigators. “I love my clients,” she said. “I love the community. There is not a mass market niche here in Bexley.” The two hope to give back to the community as well. Bonner is involved with an organization that raises money to help fight childhood obesity. Toney would like to start an organization called “No Obesity for Bexley.” “We know from research that obesity is an epidemic in our society,” Toney said. “Kids who are 10 years old are developing type 2 Diabetes.” Fitness classes will be another important component of Fitness Navigators. Cardio Dance by Rachel Hillman and hip-hop fitness, taught by Mike Nicholson, both of whom have Bexley ties, will also be a feature of the facility.

Supporters of House Bill 3, pending legislation that would repeal Ohio’s estate tax, gathered Feb. 16 for a rally at the Ohio Statehouse. If the existing “death tax” is repealed it will allow small business owners, farmers and homeowners to pass on their assets to their heirs without being taxed twice on their life’s savings. Supporters of House Bill 3 say the legislation will also make Ohio more competitive for entrepreneurial growth and investment. The Feb. 16 press conference was attended by members of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation and Citizens United to End Ohio’s Estate Tax. Assistant House Majority Whip Cheryl Grossman (R-Grove City) and Rep. Jay Hottinger (RNewark), co-sponsors of House Bill 3, said the legislation is needed to making Ohio’s tax climate a national competitor for jobs, businesses and people. “Ohio is one of only 17 states that currently impose a death tax on its citizens,” Grossman said. “As a result, we’ve experienced a flood of overtaxed business owners and people leaving our borders and moving into other states that welcome

FITNESS CENTER Continued from page A1 “They have a huge presence in Bexley,” Bonner said. Bonner will teach her fitness boot camp. She has a military background. Through the class, she plans to give her clients the skills necessary to be successful at home away from a gym. Boot camp will rely on pushups, cardiovascular exercise and using your own weight for resistance. The class will cover flexibility, weight training and cardio. “I felt the need to bring back the basics,” she said.

Clients will have access to a personal trainer to design a workout program for them. The program will be re-evaluated every six weeks, Bonner said, as the body becomes adjusted to the new workout regiment. “We train individuals to reach their fitness goals,” Toney said. “We inspire people to live a healthy lifestyle.” There also will be access to onsite massage therapy. Fitness Navigators is working with three to four area massage therapists, Bonner said. “Access to massage therapy increases flexibility,” Toney said.

“After we beat you up, you can come in and get a massage.” Holistic nutrition health information will be available within the next four months, Bonner said. She is currently earning certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and plans to share her knowledge with their clients. Fitness Navigators’ hours of operation are: Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Our state simply has not been doing enough to convey to these people that we want their jobs, their investments and their contributions to our state economy.” Hottinger said the estate tax unfairly targets the middle class. “For too long, Ohio’s estate tax has taken direct aim at our middle class and has contributed to our loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs and people,” said Hottinger. “House

ing the street lighting and traffic signals with decorative poles. The third phase is adding low retaining walls in the right-of-way on the north and south sides of Main Street, Quintenz said. The pillars are in and installation of the traffic signals will begin later this year, Quintenz said. The third phase should take place sometime in 2012. “I think that we will have addressed all the gateways that were on the master plan that was developed a decade ago,” she said. “There are additional gateways that we could add. There is always potential.” Quintenz said the commission received a Bexley Heritage Fund grant a decade ago for a gateway master plan. While Bexley City Council endorsed the plan, there were never any city funds available for the gateway improvements. “Much of the money has come from the private sector, so it has taken a little longer to get done,” Quintenz said. Since there was some continuity in commission membership and consistent leadership from landscape and architecture firms, most of the gateways have a uniform look, she said. “I think we have been able to deliver a plan that looks like it was installed all at one time even though it was installed piece by piece over 10 years,” she said. Quintenz said the gateway project would not have been successful without the support of the community, private dollars and the city of Bexley. “Without community participation and (donors) like the Rotary Club of WhitehallBexley and the Jeffrey Foundation, we would be sitting with a pretty plan and no installation,” she said. The Gateways help identify the city of Bexley by reflecting the historical nature of the community “It (gives) people a chance to recognize when they (are) entering a unique historical and special urban city,” she said.

Bill 3 is just one of the ways that we can reinvent how the state of Ohio does business so we can compete in the 21st century economy.” Ohio currently has the lowest estate tax exemption in the United States. Only $338,333 of the taxable estate is exempt from the estate tax, compared to an average exemption amount of approximately $1.7-million for other states that have an estate tax.

Economic development director Bruce Langner said the commission has created some nice entries into Bexley. “Everybody is pleased with how the gateways look,” he said. “The work started before I started here. They had a couple of them done fairly early.” In addition to the Main-Gould gateway, Quintenz said the commission hopes to complete a project enhancing the end caps throughout the city. Gateway features have already been installed in medians at Bryden and Drexel, Bexley Park and Drexel, Fair and Drexel and Fair and Gould, she said. The goal is to add the end caps at Bryden and Gould and Bexley Park and Gould, Quintenz said. Installing end caps involves adding landscaping, improving signage and adding features like retaining walls and brick pavers. This summer Bexley will once again participate in the American in Bloom competition. The program allows visiting judges to review planting materials, design and the overall look of the community, Quintenz said. Judges offer constructive criticism about how to improve the community through plant material and meet with city officials and community representatives. The commission will also complete a tree planting project in south Bexley on Pleasant Ridge Drive near Mound Street this year. The group will select trees to plant in the right of way. The project is also funded by private donations. A total of 41 trees were planted last year and organizers expect to plant about that many more by fall. The commission will also participate in a community clean-up on April 9, from 9 a.m. to noon. There will be free disposal of everything from metal to computers and free paper shredding. The event is being held in partnership with the city of Bexley.

Local Residents in Amazement Yesterday As Collectors Provide A Stimulus Package to Grove City, Worthington & Circleville! By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1965. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at with an expert set of eyes. With the help of these ICCA members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1965. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1965 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors Association also known as ICCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICCA member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICCA and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold. says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes and worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on even common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1965 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICCA. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays. Other types of items the ICCA will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased. Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewelry, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at over $1,100.00 per ounce near an all time high. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewelry and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers. So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free and if your lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun! For more information on this event visit the ICCA website at: WWW.INTERNATIONALCOINCOLLECTORS.COM

Etna Township considers biodiesel pilot program By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Etna Township is looking into a pilot project that involves trying to grow sunflower or canola crops for biofuel. The township’s economic development committee met Feb. 17 to discuss using abandoned lanes of state Route 158 for the pilot project to determine if the township could successfully grow such crops on interstitial highway land and use the crop for biofuel. Committee member Mark Schaff said he has been exploring the idea with the Ohio Department of Transportation and

that a meeting was scheduled for 3 p.m. March 17 at Route 158 and U.S. Route 40, with ODOT representatives in attendance to explore the possibility of establishing such a pilot program. “We want to expand the scope of the gateway landscaping program to include sunflower seed and flax seed and other biodiesel fuels that are also very attractive,” Schaff said. “It’s possible to meet simultaneously the goal of the gateway landscaping program for beautification and to simultaneously produce fuel.” Township zoning official Chris Harkness said the project could help give Etna a recognized identity, based on a

common crop image. “The sunflower could become the signature of Etna Township,” Harkness said. Schaff said the program could provide costless fuel to the township and save ODOT money in maintaining roads. “If we are successful with this project, we can produce fuel for township vehicles,” Schaff said. “And we have reason to because we can be successful. Utah, North Carolina and at least one other state are presently successful of taking advantage of median strips and sides of highways and land that’s not being used to produce biofuel crops. The

department of transportation saves money on fuel.” The goal is to start with Route 158 as a pilot program and then expand it. “We’ll work out all the bugs on the abandoned section of Route 158 that would be the ideal perfect test site to say, ‘Let’s try it out,’” Schaff said. “It’s not being used anyway. If we are successful there, we can talk about moving to U.S. Route 40, and then we can talk about moving to Interstate 70. Interstate 70 is the ‘Holy Grail.’ There is lots of land in the middle of Interstate 70. The question is whether it is at an angle that you can harvest it and what the safety is.”

One of the unknown issues is whether harvesting equipment could navigate the terrain alongside roadways. Schaff said Route 158 would be a good place to find out. “It goes from very flat to very steep to everything in between,” he said. “I’ll be surprised if ODOT does not agree to expand the gateway landscaping program. We’ll be in a position to argue to move this program to the Interstate system. We’ve got perfect experimental setup that won’t cost anything.” “It is a perfect site for it,” Harkness said. “To get the initial test is going to be a huge step.

Columbus Zoo mourning STUDENTS’ BMI loss of adult male elephant Continued from page A1

Coco, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s patriarch elephant, died Feb. 16. When zoo staff arrived at 7 a.m. that day, they found Coco lying down and “unable or unwilling to get up,” a news release from the zoo said. “They worked non-stop for almost eight hours in an attempt to save him, but he died just before 3 p.m.” Coco was born in the wild and believed to be 40 years old. The elephant, who fathered Bohdi in 2004 and Beco in 2009, came to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in 1974. “When I came to the Columbus Zoo in 1978, I was awestruck by the sight of Coco” director emeritus Jack Hanna said in a news release. “He invoked a sense of wonder in everyone who saw him — leading them to want to know more about elephants and to care about their plight in the wild.

Coco, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s patriarch elephant, died Feb. 16.

“Coco will be missed,” he said, “by me, by our community and by the many dedicated animal professionals at the Columbus Zoo who have devoted their lives to him for the past 37 years.” Coco had shown no signs of illness and the cause of his death

will not be known for several weeks when the results of an autopsy are available. The zoo now has four elephants; adult females Phoebe and Connie, and young males Bodhi and Beco. www.ThisWeekNews.com

a dot on the chart where height and weight meet and send a letter home to parents. The district will provide the same information to the state, she said. “We keep the same information without the kids’ name and turn it into the Ohio Department of Health,” she said. Students will not be provided the BMI information, Hyland said, adding it is important for parents to have the information and be able to put it into context for their children. Parents can also elect not to receive the information. They will be notified the height and weight information will be gathered with the vision and hearing screenings. Unless parents approve, the information will not be sent to them, she said. “They have to opt in, as opposed to opting out,” Hyland said.

School board member Carol Fey said she supported the district’s focus on improving the health of students and the community but wanted to be sure the process was not invasive. Fey said she is confident student privacy will be protected. “I think that the plan addresses the need for student privacy,” she said. “In honesty I wish there was a way to encourage as much participation as possible, I’m a little concerned that we will have people avoid the testing process.” Fey said a parent has to sign a permission slip in order for a child to be tested. “A parent has to authorize the test,” Fey said. “It would be nice to have as much comprehensive information as possible so that we can use the information accurately and positively to address nutritional information in the district.” tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Industry made slow but steady progress in the city In the years before the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861, Columbus, the capital of the state of Ohio, was more than the symbolic center of state power and authority. Created by the Ohio General Assembly to be the new capital city in 1812, the town had grown very slowly at first and as late as 1830, only had little more than 2,000 residents. Then the National Road and Ohio Canal reached central Ohio and by 1834, Columbus was a city of 5,000 people. But even that new and bustling city seemed to make most of its money in transportation and trade. Reading of the men who were the early successes in Columbus enterprise, one comes away with the distinct impression that the best way to earn money was to serve the Ohio General Assembly with room and board, move people and products from place to place, or meet the needs of the people who did such things. A few examples might suffice to illustrate this point. William Neil came to Columbus in 1818 and soon got into the stagecoach business. Leaving his wife to run a small tavern across from the Statehouse, Neil would eventually build an empire on wheels and become known as the “Stagecoach King.” Lincoln Goodale was a practicing physician who found that there was not a lot of demand for doctors in the new town. He eventually opened a store and made a lot of money. As a gesture of gratitude to his adopted town, he gave Columbus its first park — Goodale Park. And then there was Alfred Kelley. Representing Cleveland and then Columbus in the legislature, Kelley also found time to ensure the completion of the Ohio Canal, the reform of Ohio’s banks and the construction of more than one railroad. If we add to these examples the stories of bankers such as David Deshler and lawyers such as Orris Parish, one might conclude that Columbus was a place where people made their money providing services rather than making things. And this would be true — but only partly true. Like most capital cities across America, most of the economic history of the city is the story of a highly diversified economy with some people working in government, others in trade and still others in transportation. And composing another significant part of the workforce were people employed in manufacturing. When Columbus was an isolated frontier village, many of the goods people needed and could not make themselves were purchased from local craftsmen — the blacksmith, the gunsmith, the miller and that old frontier standby, the whisky distiller. But with the arrival of the Ohio Canal in the 1830s and railroads in the 1850s, it became possible to import raw materials such as iron and timber to a central place like Columbus and ship finished products from that place to a waiting world. It was not long before a number of people began to do just that. Most early factories in Columbus were relatively small in size and employed dozens rather than hundreds of workers in a few sturdy buildings. It was no accident that most of them

soon came to be located near a ready source of water — the Scioto River. The kind of products made ED by these early factories says LENTZ something about the needs of the people of central Ohio. The oldest successful manufacturing company in Columbus was begun in 1822 by a man named Joseph Ridgway. Initially using horses to provide power to his foundry, Ridgway began to produce Jethro Wood’s Patent Plow. It was later said of Ridgway by a local writer in the 1850s that “… he made and sold an immense number. It was considered the best plow in use.” In 1830, Ridgway joined with a nephew to finance the conversion of his factory to steam power and begin the production of machinery, steam engines, cast iron stoves and other products. In 1849, the Ridgways joined with a man named Pearl Kimball in a new business making railroad cars. Joseph Ridgway died in 1850 and Kimball later operated the car company on his own. Ridgway’s foundry business passed in 1854 to another entrepreneur, Peter Hayden. Hayden had come to Columbus in the 1830s and begun a number of enterprises. He started a business making saddles and other equipment for horses, using the labor of prisoners at the nearby Ohio Penitentiary. At the same time, he opened his own foundry producing bar iron, hoop iron and wire from pig iron and scrap iron. Eventually, Hayden and his family would also invest heavily in the coal and iron fields of southeastern Ohio. In 1838, John Gill and others built Gill’s Foundry with about 25 workers on the west side of

the Scioto and developed a good business making stoves and other iron goods. In 1855, the company began making a combination steel plow that sold quite well and later began making railroad cars, as well. In 1849, Charles Ambos and James Lennox started the Eagle Foundry with $8,000. When the business was sold in 1854, the foundry became a joint stock company under the name of the Columbus Machine Manufacturing Co. Employing more than 125 men, it provided the iron for the roof of the new Statehouse as well as all of the iron ceilings and railings in the building. And while all of this was going on, other factories were making other sorts of goods. Two men named Brotherlin and Halm began producing chairs and cabinetware by steam-powered machinery in 1853. Another company began making wooden hollowware — tubs and pails, primarily — in a factory along the river in 1856. By 1858, there were others. A local description reported that they included Ohlen and Drake’s steam-powered saw factory, Hines and Miller’s steam-powered paper mill, and Butlers’ coffee- and spice-grinding mill. And almost as an afterthought, the author noted that there were “two extensive breweries at the south end of the city.” All of these enterprises contributed importantly to the success of Columbus. In all, they employed several hundred men, many of them recent immigrants from Ireland and Germany who worked alongside recent arrivals — black and white — from rural Ohio. These new factories formed the beginnings of industry in Columbus and a pattern of industrial growth and success that has continued to the present day. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Historical society program profiles man who put cows in ‘Cow Town’ The man who kept the cows that gave Columbus its onetime nickname of “Cow Town” will be profiled on Sunday March 6, during a special presentation being put on by the Clintonville Historical Society. Historian, collector and author Richard E. Barrett will present a history of Dr. Samuel B. Hartman at the Clintonville Woman’s Club, 3951 N. High St. Tickets to the event must be purchased in advance and are limited. Tickets are $25 for members of the Clintonville Historical Society or the Clintonville Woman’s Club, $30 for nonmembers. The doors will open at 12:30 p.m. after which lunch will be served. Barrett’s presentation is scheduled to begin at approximately 1:15, followed by a question and answer period. The pro-

gram will be over at around 2:30. “Have you ever heard of Columbus being called Cow Town?” Clintonville Historical Society president Mary Rodgers wrote in announcing the special program. “Dr. Samuel B. Hartman was a skilled surgeon and inventor of medical equipment and tonics. His elixir, Peruna, was manufactured in Columbus. In 1903, he began to acquire land south of downtown. Quite quickly, he had amassed 4,000 acres on both sides of U.S. 23. On this land, he operated the United States’ largest farm. The farm included a sizeable dairy operation. Visitors from the south would know that they were nearing Columbus when they saw Hartman’s cows …” In addition to the farm, Dr. Hartman owned the Hartman office

building and theater as well as the Hartman Hotel. He had considerable private holdings in coal operations in southeastern Ohio. “At one time, he was the richest man in the city,” according to Rodgers. Presenter Barrett has written several books about Columbus, including “Columbus, Ohio, 1898-1950 Vintage Postcards,” “Columbus, 1860-1910” and “Columbus, 1910-1970.” “He has studied the life of Dr. Hartman and has prepared a wonderful presentation for us,” according to Rodgers. To obtain tickets contact Rodgers at 657-6854 or visit Moxie’s at 3339 N. High St. This event will serve as the March meeting of the Clintonville Historical Society. There will not be a meeting on March 8.

The Chinaberry tree was, for a time, a popular, low-budget tree used for ornamental purposes, most often in the southern United States. Singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell recalled how the trees lined the housing development in the Houston neighborhood in which he grew up — a significant enough memory that he named his new book, a memoir of sorts, Chinaberry Sidewalks. “The book is not at all about Rodney Crowell the songwriter,” he said. “It’s about my childhood growing up in Houston. “It’s mostly about the arc of my parents’ marriage,” he said. “My mother and father were the son and daughter of sharecroppers, with seventh/eighth grade educations. They migrated to Houston, and lived in a housing development where a lot of that workforce lived. The place was landscaped with Chinaberry trees, which had these green berries. As kids, we used to have Chinaberry wars.” Crowell said he was deliberate in moving the content of the book away from his career as a singer and songwriter — a career that has seen him boast hit records and have his songs recorded by countless artists, including Waylon Jennings, Alan Jackson, Crystal Gayle, Heart, Keith Urban, Bob Seger, the Oak Ridge Boys, Tim McGraw and more. The book, he said, is not merely a companion piece to his records for fans. “There are stories (in the book) about music, but only as it applies as part of my environment,” Crowell added, explaining that he didn’t feel a book of stories about his career “was going to garner a readership.” “I don’t want to sound insulting to the loyalty of my fans, but I don’t think of myself as an iconic star,” Crowell said. “I was going to sustain a relationship with readers with my ability to tell stories. Crowell is hardly shelving his songwriting career. In fact, he said that working on the book both sharpened his songwriting senses and changed his understanding of songwriting. torn up the blues circuit, but would sound equally at home if rock radio should ever be is ready for a new blues diva in the Tina Turner/Bonnie Raitt mold.

“With the book I discovered I couldn’t slack off,” he said, further explaining that “the narrative has to be maintained. “That kind of day-in-day-out work is a sharp thing for a songwriter to do, to maintain.” His one-man tour is not your standard book tour, either. “I read excerpts from the book, I tell stories, I sing songs,” he said. “It was a lot of work on presentation and pacing.” Crowell did the audio version of the book himself, which gave him the opportunity to hear how stories and segments of stories sounded out loud. Additionally, he was able to make notes on how he would present the excerpts, both finding a balance between serious and humorous selections and also how he would weave the elements together into a live show. “I have to kind of free-form a background of a story into the different segments of the book,” he said. “Then those passages had to be extended so that the audience is given a similar taste of each song.” For more from The Beat’s interview with Rodney Crowell, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.

Get your Irish up at P.K. O’Ryan’s in Worthington Unlike several of its competitors, P.K. O’Ryan’s wasn’t built in Ireland and reassembled over here. And this tiny Irish-themed pub doesn’t feature self-consciously eccentric seating in a splashy and sprawling setting. No, P.K. O’Ryan’s is just a neighborhoody place where actual locals gather to sip, chat and sup. Maybe that’s why P.K.’s feels more like an authentic Irish pub than its built-in-Ireland, chainy brethren. Located in quaint Old Worthington, P.K.’s is the kind of place where on a lazy Sunday, gentlemen have lunch with a pint and The New York Times and ladies roll in for an entree salad. On a weeknight with the Buckeyes on TV, the comfy pub — which appropriates a cozy, pilsner-colored glow for evening lighting — gets a bit more ani-

MENU by G.A. Benton mated. But just a bit, mind you. While P.K.’s is connected to a larger, more regulation restaurant, since I prefer its taverny aspect, I suggest you sit on that side (unless you’ve got the peewee basketball team in tow) — just follow the shamrocks to the pub entry. Then plop down at a semirickety (in a good way) wooden bench with a padded back or belly up to the well-used wooden bar, which is the color of Guinness stout. P.K.’s food is just solid pub grub, but some of its stuff stands out. The “so wrong they’re right” Irish Nachos ($8) fit that standout category.

Irish nachos and Irish stew in a bread bowl at P.K. O’Ryan’s Restaurant and Pub.

A massive pile of just-fried, dark and crispy kettle-style potato chips arrived decorated a la reuben sandwich. Yes, shredded

bits of commendably houseroasted corned beef (though I would have liked more), sauerkraut, a decent Swiss cheese sauce and snipped scallions lent tons of salty and irresistible character to the good chips (Thousand Island was on the side for dipping). Also good — if less wild — was the homemade chili ($4). Meaty, thick and hearty, it was made with black beans and seemed about 85 percent ground beef — a righteous ratio. For a lighter starter, the house salad ($4.50) wasn’t bad. While it’s not something you’ll be thinking about long afterward, neither is it a total blowoff. Good sized and assembled with fresh romaine (no iceberg), it was sprinkled with shredded cheese, tomato, onions and boxed croutons and got a bit of distinction from

They’re not overly greasy, are judiciously proportioned and come with extracrispy french fries. Made with Carfagna’s ground beef, the burgers are solid here,

on Cajun seasonings and enriched with blue cheese. The homemade Irish Stew ($11.50) was a big standout. A huge, housemade bread bowl was loaded with a soulful, potatoheavy stew of tender pot roast, sweet onions, carrots and a thick, Guinness-sloshed beefy gravy. What’s a homemade Irish sheet cake? It’a a giant block of chocolate cake with nuts and a sweet fudgy icing ($5). In other words, what you’d call a nice Texas sheet cake when eaten in a pub that feels accommodatingly Irish. To read G.A.

Restaurant with Southwestern flair opens in Merion Village Robin Emrick is happy to say there isn’t anything quite like Coyote Jane’s in her immediate neighborhood — or beyond. The Merion Village restaurant, 1586 S. High St., is based on a simple premise: affordable, homemade Santa Fe cuisine and festive drinks in a laid-back environment. Emrick, the chef and co-owner, said that while the cuisine has its roots in the artsy New Mexico capital, it melds global ingredients. “My cooking style is to mesh different flavors that nobody else would think of putting together,” she said. Yet the bill of fare, in which everything is currently priced less than $10, has been subject to vast interpretations. “It’s not Mexican,” she said. “The menu right now is a little misunderstood.” So, in short, expect the unexpected. The “Hop Sing” green chili burger, for example, uses 8 ounces of Angus beef topped with deep-fried jalapenos, sharp cheddar and green chili agave pesto on grilled brioche. The steak chili uses a splash of Jack Daniels and is touched off with a drizzle of Mexican chipotle chocolate. There are tacos, burritos (called burros) and deep-fried burritos, otherwise known as chimichangas. Many have Coyote Jane’s signature touch, such as the “poppy shrimp” tacos, filled with deep-fried buttermilk popcorn shrimp, a traditional garnish and cayenne mayo. The signature cocktail is the grilled watermelon sidecar —– tequila, agave syrup, grilled watermelon and fresh mint. An unconventional version of a bloody Mary offers shrimp and pickled egg. After leasing the building in March, the

restaurant had a few stutter steps because of liquor license and permitting issues. It is open dinner only until March 1, when lunch hours are introduced. Emrick said she will have an entirely new lunch menu while adding some entrees at dinner. Emrick is a partner and chef in the Banana Bean Café, which got its start in Schumacher Place and later moved to Greenlawn Avenue. Her other business associates are Angela Caskey, also part of the founding partnership of Banana Bean and Skillet, and Jane Ann Wentzel, whose name served as the inspiration for the new restaurant. The building, at the northeast corner of High and East Morrill Avenue, had been home to Craters Restaurant and Bar for about 25 years. Then, the Eagle bar had been in business for about six months before Coyote Jane’s moved in. Emrick said she liked the look of the place: wooden floors, exposed brick and a cozy dining space. She shortened the bar and added several Southwest appointments for a rustic look. The dining room seats about 30 and the bar space seats another 25. “I’ve been down here for 15 years,” she said. “I’ve seen Merion Village grow in the last 10 years. And the people want something different.” Coyote Jane’s is open five days a week, closed Sunday and Monday. For more information, call 614-444-5460. Correction: Because of a reporter’s error, the Economic and Community Development Institute was incorrectly identified in last week’s edition of Table Talk.

■ The Powell dining scene has grown dramatically in recent years. Keile Baney isn’t worried. The chef of the Liberty Tavern says he tries to stay on top of the competition by giving diners a large variety of dishes at reasonable prices. “We have a regular crowd and they’re not afraid to tell us what they Keile Baney want,” he said. Customers can get everything from grilled mahi mahi over risotto to the Tavern “stacker” – a burger crowned with barbecue pork, bacon, cheddar and onion rings. “We have a little bit of everything,” said Baney, now a contributor to Food & Wine. Baney said his real passion is smoking. Tavern patrons are treated to frequent smoked specials, including brisket, turkey and pork shoulder. A native of rural Erie, Penn., Baney is a 12-year veteran of the restaurant industry, working in Pennsylvania, Michigan and locally at such places as Hyde Park.

St. Charles Roundup

Willi leads Cardinals’ swimmers to state By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Brian Willi has the best time in the 100-yard butterfly entering the Division I state boys swimming and diving meet, and the St. Charles Preparatory School senior hopes to parlay that into a title. Willi and the Cardinals will compete at state Friday and Saturday, Feb. 2526, at Branin Natatorium in Canton. St. Charles finished second (347 points) behind champion Upper Arlington (432) in the district meet Feb. 19 at Ohio State. The Cardinals had won

the five previous district titles. “For the team that we had this year, we had a really good day,” coach Geoff Gear said. “We swam well and Brian really had a great performance. He put in a lot of hard work and has really come a long way in his four years with the program.” Willi won a district title in the 100 fly in 50.49 seconds, two seconds better than his previous best. He also qualified for state in the 100 backstroke and is seeded 19th with a 53.52. As a member of the 200 medley relay, Willi joined Alex Kocher, Chris D’An-

gelo and Zach Poltor to finish second (1:35.98) behind UA (1:35.88). The relay is seeded seventh at state. Gear said the effort helped to jumpstart the Cardinals. “Our medley relay was second, which was a good start to the meet and kind of set the tone for us,” Gear said. “After that, everyone believed that we were going to have a good day.” The 400 freestyle relay of Hayden Birnbrich, Orion Swanson, Daniel Cogan and Caleb Jack advanced in 3:17.29 as the 24th seed. The 200 free relay of Birnbrich, Nick McKinley, Matt Brown and

Will Grodesky qualified with a 1:28.96 as the 21st seed. McKinley qualified in the 200 individual medley (1:57.89, 21st) and the 100 breaststroke (59.85, 22nd). Swanson advanced in the 100 fly (52.55, 17th) and 100 backstroke (53.64, 20th). Also competing at district were Sam Aslaner: 200 IM (2:01.82, 14th), 500 free (4:56.92, 10th); Birnbrich: 50 free (22.42, 12th), 100 free (49.22, 10th); Brown: 100 fly (53.31, eighth), 100 breast (1:02.6, 16th); Cogan: 200 IM (2:05.75, 15th), 100 fly (55.39, 17th); Josh Cohen: 100 free (50.5, 20th), 50

free (22.89, 20th); D’Angelo: 100 breast (1:01.13, 9th); Grodesky: 100 free (49.05, ninth), 50 free (21.95, fifth); Max Herath: 200 IM (2:00.23, ninth), 100 breast (1:00.95, eighth); Jack: 500 free (4:51.33, fifth), 200 free (1:49.56, 11th); Franz Kabelka: 500 free (4:53.58, seventh), 200 free (1:49.92, 13th); Kocher: 100 free (50.27, 19th), 100 back (55, 11th); Natty Patterson: 500 free (4:54.48, eighth), 200 free (1:49.49, 10th); and Poltor: 50 free (22.04, eighth), 100 back (54.69, ninth).

Bexley Roundup

Humphrey swims into state meet By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek

Jalen Robinette tries to dribble around Whitehall’s Taylor Hutchison earlier this season. The Lions opened the Division II district tournament Feb. 22 against Hilliard Bradley. The winner plays Olentangy or Hamilton Township on Friday, Feb. 25, at Grove City.

As Bexley High School junior Hayden Humphrey stood behind the starting block before the final of the 100-yard breaststroke at the Division II swimming and diving district meet Feb. 18 at Ohio State, he was surprisingly calm. “I wasn’t feeling nervous at all and that kind of worried me,” Humphrey said. “Right when I got on the blocks, my legs were a little bit shaky. I jumped in and felt like I had an amazing start.” Humphrey won the event in 1 minute, 1.51 seconds to become the Lions’first state qualifier since 2002 graduate Alex Dolgov placed seventh in the 100 breast (59.48) and eighth in the 200 individual medley (1:54.8) at state as a senior. “I had a bunch of people at the end of the race screaming for me,” Humphrey said. “They were screaming so loud, so I thought there was someone next to me. When I touched the wall, it got quiet for a second and then everyone started going crazy. I saw that ‘1’ go up by name.” Humphrey will be Bexley’s lone representative at the state meet at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. The preliminaries are Thursday, Feb. 24, with the top 16 finishers advancing to the final on Friday, Feb. 25. He is seeded 12th. “He’s such a great kid. He works hard and he deserves it,” coach Natalie Mossman said of Humphrey. “I am so happy I didn’t screw it up for him.” “This means everything for me,” Humphrey said. “This is the pinnacle of four years of work.” The boys team scored 24 points at district to tie Liberty Union for 23rd, finishing well behind champion Granville (256) and runnerup Columbus Academy (209.5),

both MSL rivals. The girls team, which had no state qualifiers, finished 13th (65), behind champion Granville (368) and runner-up Academy (269). For the girls team, Anna Bauer had been chasing the program record of 25.83 in the 50 freestyle for four years. At district, the senior came within .3 of a second of matching it, as she placed ninth in 26.13. “I had my eyes on it all season,” Bauer said. “I swam really well and I did everything I could, but in the end, I didn’t get it. I can’t be that upset about it.” •Derek Cain hopes the Division II district wrestling tournament on Friday, Feb. 25, and Saturday, Feb. 26, at Columbus East is a little less dramatic than the sectional tournament. The junior forfeited his thirdplace match at 152 pounds as a precaution because of chest pains. He began experiencing pains after defeating Whitehall’s Quantrell Goodwin 9-7 in his first match. “I was having this horrible pain in my chest and I was having a hard time breathing,” said Cain, who must be cleared by a doctor before he will be allowed to compete at district. “A friend of mine had to take me out of the wrestling room so I could get some fresh air. I was starting to panic because I’ve never had something like this happen to me before.” Cain continued to compete at sectional, however, losing to Hilliard Bradley’s Andrew Higgins 17-1 before bouncing back to defeat Eastmoor Academy’s Steven Eaton 17-5 in a consolation semifinal. Despite Cain’s performance against Eaton, he was urged by coach Shawn Straub not to compete in the third-place match against Jonathan Alder’s Cody McSurley. See LIONS, page B3

CSG Roundup

Basketball team gaining confidence in tournament By CORY STEGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Columbus School for Girls basketball team entered the season with modest goals. The Unicorns hoped to play well during the regular season and possibly win a tournament game. CSG finished the regular season strong, going 7-3 in its final 10 games. Now, the Unicorns are thinking about a possible trip to a Division III district semifinal following a 41-29 win over Amanda-Clearcreek in the first round of the tournament on Feb. 17. The Unicorns play a second-round game on Thursday, Feb. 24, at Granville against Newark Catholic, a team similar to CSG. The Green Wave went 6-4 in its final 10 regular-season games and earned an upset in the first round of the tournament by defeating eighth-seeded Columbus Academy 40-39 on Feb. 17. CSG earned a measure of revenge over Amanda-Clearcreek, which defeated the Unicorns 4241 on Feb. 3 when a charging call wiped out what would have been guard Enri Small’s go-ahead layup with 1 second left.

The second meeting produced a better performance by CSG, but not the Aces. The Unicorns started the game on a 7-2 run with the help of a full-court trap that frustrated the Aces, although Amanda-Clearcreek worked itself back into the game and tied it at 13 with 2 minutes, 23 seconds left in the second quarter. Following baskets by post player Ellen Haenszel and guard Rosie Connor, the Unicorns took a 17-15 lead into halftime. CSG took over the game in the third quarter. After Amanda-Clearcreek tied the game at 17, CSG went on a 9-0 run in which the Unicorns forced four steals and the Aces failed to take a shot. Utilizing the full-court trap, the Unicorns had seven steals in the third quarter to help build a 3220 lead. The Aces made just four of their final 12 fieldgoal attempts. “I thought the game went well, and it was our defense that won it,” Haenszel said. “That was the best team defense we’ve played all year.” “The girls were confident going into the game,” coach Stephanie Jones said. “We had a great second half of our (regular) season going into the tour-

nament where we got some big wins over teams like Worthington Christian and Columbus Academy. That really helped our confidence.” •The swimming and diving team will be represented at the Division II state meet, which started Wednesday, Feb. 23 and runs through Friday, Feb. 25, at Branin Natatorium in Canton.

Hartley Roundup

Cottrell, Kelly top Hawks’ state-meet qualifiers By CORY STEGER and FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In addition to winning championships, Hartley High School boys and girls swimmers hope to drop time in their respective events at the Division II state meet on Thursday and Friday, Feb. 2425, at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. For many of the athletes, that means setting new personal records on top of the season or personal bests they achieved at district Feb. 18 at Ohio State. Andrea Cottrell is seeded fourth in the 100 breaststroke and seventh in the 200 individual medley at state. She set personal records while winning both events at district — finishing the 100 breast in 1 minute, 4.24 seconds and the 200 IM in 2:07.22 — and is looking to drop even more time at state. “I don’t ever want to give myself a set time to hit because I don’t want to be disappointed if I don’t hit it,” said Cottrell, whose district time in the 200 IM broke the meet record of 2:07.54 set by New Albany’s Molly Dengler in 2008. “I just go in thinking I want go fast and beat my best time.” Also at state for the girls, Jessica Carpenter is seeded ninth in the 100 butterfly and 16th in the 100 freestyle, and Taylor Shotwell is seeded ninth in the 100 backstroke and 20th in the 100 fly. The 200 medley relay of Brianna Archambeau, Carpenter, Cottrell and Shotwell is seeded fourth, and the 200 free relay of Carpenter, Cottrell, Hope Kahrig and Shotwell is seeded ninth. For the boys, Patrick Kelly is seeded third in the 200 IM and 10th in the 100 back, and Ronnie Bolden is seeded third in the 100 fly and sixth in the 50 free. “I’m looking to finish in the top

eight in my events again, like I did last year,” Kelly said. Michael Arnold was scheduled to represent Hartley in diving, which concluded its Division II state competition on Feb. 23. At district, the girls were third (260 points) behind Granville (368) and Columbus Academy (269). Shotwell won the 100 back (58.77) and was seventh in the 100 fly (1:00.12), and Carpenter was third in the 100 free (53.32) and the 100 fly (58.20). The 200 medley relay won in 1:47.37, breaking the mark of 1:49.06 set by the same foursome last year, and the 200 free relay was second (1:39.79). “I felt confident in my races and confident in my taper,” Cottrell said. “So I went in here with a really good mindset. And, I’m very pleased with my times.” The boys were fourth (137) behind champion Granville (256). Kelly was first in the 200 IM (1:54.86) and second in the 100 back (53.52). Kelly’s time in the 200 IM broke the meet record of 1:55.48 that he set last year. Bolden won the 100 fly (51.05) and was third in the 50 free (21.59). Arnold won diving with 372.95 points.

•The boys basketball team enters the postseason with big expectations, having earned the No. 1 seed in the Division II district tournament following a one-loss regular season. Hartley had a first-round bye and plays Friday, Feb. 25, against Columbus South or Lakewood at Grove City. The winner advances to a district semifinal on March 3 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum, where it will play Bexley, Hamilton Township, Hilliard Bradley or Olentangy. The district final is March 10 at the Fairgrounds. The only other seeded teams in Hartley’s bracket are No. 4 Canal Winchester and No. 5 Centennial, and the Hawks beat both during the regular season. Hartley beat Canal Winchester 51-35 on Jan. 23 and defeated Centennial 62-48 on Jan. 29. Lakewood and South play contrasting styles. Lakewood uses a slower style based on playing good defense and setting up shots for its guards. South runs an up-tempo offense based on scoring in transition and forcing turnovers. “With our schedule, we’ve seen pretty much everything, so right now we just have to get it done,” said coach Randy Kortokrax,

whose team beat Worthington Christian 46-41 on Feb. 18 to close the regular season 17-1. “We’ve been doing a good job of playing the game in front of us. We’ve played up-tempo well, then teams hit us with some slowdown and we do that well. It takes a lot of mental toughness to play different styles like that, and the one thing our guys have shown is resiliency down the stretch.” The Hawks won the CCL title at 7-1, ahead of DeSales (6-2), Watterson (4-4), St. Charles (35) and Ready (0-8). It is Hartley’s first league title since 1994. •The wrestling team will compete at the Division II district meet Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25-26, at Columbus East. The top four in each weight class move on to state March 3-5 at Ohio State. The Hawks competed in a sectional at Hilliard Bradley on Feb. 19 and finished fifth (130.5 points) behind champion Olentangy (292). The top four in each weight class advanced to district. Evan Jackson (215 pounds) won his weight class, beating Olentangy’s Alex Stinemetz 156 in the championship match. Dominique Scott (103) and Jarrod Zang (160) both placed second. In finals, Scott lost 14-5 to Olentangy’s Andrew Torti, and Zang lost 7-4 to Jonathan Alder’s Chris Baker. In third-place matches, Grant Rathburn (119) defeated LindenMcKinley’s Jermain Lathon 7-6, Jason Mercier (125) beat Independence’s Jajuan Ross 10-5 and Jordan Dickerson (heavyweight) defeated Branden Gray of Whitehall 2-1 in overtime.

“(Straub) didn’t want to risk me getting hurt in the third-place match,” Cain said. “I was disappointed because I think I could’ve beaten (McSurley).” If given medical clearance to compete at district, Cain, who is 32-8, will meet DeSales sophomore Ian Ferguson (26-13) in the first round. Cain is one of four Lions who advanced to district. Also advancing were junior D.J. Jones (130) and senior Chris Crane (145), both of whom placed third at sectional, and senior Chuck Sismanturk (135), who placed fourth. In the first round at district, Jones (31-5) takes on Big Walnut freshman Alec Eisnnicher (23-17), Crane (26-6) faces Duncan Falls Philo freshman Steven Fraizer (19-5) and Sismanturk (26-18) competes against Millersburg West Holmes sophomore Drew Jolley (23-7). The top four in each weight class at district advance to the state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State. Bexley has not had a state qualifier since 2007 graduate Jake Weisman made it his senior year. The Lions placed seventh of 13 teams at sectional with 77.5 points, behind champion Olentangy (292). •Boys basketball coach Dave Gustin seemed confident his team’s 42-38 loss to Licking Valley on Feb. 15 and a 58-40 loss to Columbus Academy on Feb. 18 wouldn’t equate to an early exit from the Division II district tournament. Seeded eighth, Bexley played ninth-seeded Hilliard Bradley in the first round Feb. 22, with the winner facing Olentangy or Hamilton Township in the second round at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25, at Grove City. The Lions lost to the Rangers 60-53 on Dec. 7 but have not played Olentangy this season. “This is a speed bump,” Gustin said. “... We had our mind willing, but our bodies weren’t.” The Lions trailed Licking Valley 19-12 at halftime and trailed Academy 28-15 after the first

•The hockey team improved to 17-13-3 by defeating Olentangy Orange 2-1 in a second-round district tournament game Feb. 20 at the Dispatch Ice Haus. The seventh-seeded Cardinals had a first-round bye. Eric Cooke scored both goals for St. Charles to set up a third-round game against third-seeded Dublin Coffman at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, at the Ice Haus. “It’s always good to play a team like Coffman because they are a team that you measure yourself against all year,” coach Art Roehrenbeck said. “You strive to be mentioned in the same breath and are happy to be on the ice with that team because of their tradition.” The Shamrocks improved to 22-8-1 by defeating Worthington Kilbourne 7-1 in a secondround game on Feb. 20. Coffman beat St. Charles 5-3 on Jan. 1 and 10-3 on Feb. 10 in the opening round of the Blue Jackets Cup. “We played them well for the first couple of periods in the first game, but we were without a couple of defenders in the Blue Jackets Cup game and the score showed that,” Roehrenbeck said. “We should have a better performance this time.” The winner will advance to play second-seeded Olentangy Liberty or Olentangy at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 27, in a district semifinal at the Ice Haus. The Cardinals split with Liberty, winning 4-2 on Dec. 11 in the Adam Allgeyer Memorial and losing 8-3 on Feb. 6 in Capital Hockey Conference play. Olentangy went 2-1 against St. Charles.
