Auditor to detail reappraisal process Mingo will visit Meeting Haus on Feb. 26 for real-estate information session By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers Franklin County Auditor Clarence Mingo will make a stop in German Village this weekend to discuss the reappraisal process and other real-estate issues. His visit is slated for noon Feb. 26 at the Meeting Haus, 588 S. Third St.

“This year we are set to release new values for every property in the county and we’re working really hard to make sure property owners are well aware of the process and what it means to them on an individual basis,” Mingo said. The reappraisal process is done every six years, with an update every three years. Staff members from the audi- Clarence tor’s office visit and evaluate 438,000 Mingo

parcels and properties in the county. Valuations are based on internal data provided by property owners, external observations from staff and home sales dating back three years. Home valuations

based on the current round of reappraisals will be effective Jan. 1. Property owners will be notified of their new evaluations in the summer, probably July, Mingo said. In the fall, staff members from the auditor’s office will meet with residents who dispute the findings. Further appeals can be made to the Franklin County Board of Revision, he said.

Mingo said he also will discuss the homestead exemption, a one-time credit that shields $25,000 of property taxation from homeowners who are 65 and older or disabled. The exemption is not based on the price of the home or the salary of the property owners. See AUDITOR, page A2

Committee gets busy on senior assistance program By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dave and Marge Smigelski, along with the Rev. Ralph Huntzinger (pictured below), will be honored at St. Mary Catholic Church’s sixth annual gala and silent auction Feb. 26. The Smigelskis, who live in Grove City, are former German Village residents.

St. Mary Church

‘Go-to volunteers’ to be honored at gala By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers Dave and Marge Smigelski say they are delighted to be recognized for their dedication to a German Village church. The Grove City residents, along with retired Rev. Ralph Huntzinger, will be honored at the St. Mary Catholic Church’s sixth annual gala and silent auction, to be held Feb. 26. The fundraiser for the St. Mary School will be held at 6 p.m. downtown at the Columbus Athenaeum, 32 N. Fourth St.

Tickets to the event are $100 each and can be purchased through the parish office, 672 S. Third St. The church honors those who have made a lasting impact on the school or parish, said Julie Graham-Price, chair Rev. Ralph of the gala. Huntzinger “The Smigelskis have been active members of the church for decades,” she said. “They have held leadership positions and have been go-to volunteers of the parish for years.”

The Smigelskis, both 68, graduated from the now-defunct St. Mary Catholic High School in 1960 and married at the church three years later. Both have been actively involved in the church for decades, heading up a variety of initiatives and committees. Mrs. Smigelski, born Marjorie Friley, was president of the Women’s Club while her husband was president of the Men’s Club. She still is in charge of coffee and doughnuts served in between masses on Sundays and her husband is See ST. MARY GALA, page A2

A German Village group will spend the remainder of the year laying the foundation of an aging-in-place program. The long-range planning committee agreed Feb. 17 to forge ahead with the effort, which will provide services to aging residents who want to stay independent longer. The committee, which is part of the German Village Society, will take the next 10 months to write a mission statement and form a leadership group for the program, tentatively called Village Connections. In the meantime, the committee is developing a questionnaire that will be sent to 1,200 households around June. The survey will seek to answer who would join the program, what kinds of services they want and how much they’d be willing to pay. Previously, the committee had discussed creating a concierge service to serve all ages but felt it muddled the mission of the program, said committee chair Carolyn McCall. “After some exploration and discussion, the committee has really settled on trying to serve this segment of the population instead of trying to be all things to all people, because we think there is a need to help people stay in their homes,” she said. Funding remains a big issue, as the committee tries to identify revenue streams and determine how much Village Connections would cost. There also was discussion of achieving nonprofit status and whether the program could be part of the German Village Society and be based out of the Meeting Haus.

Art gallery owner upbeat about moving to German Village By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers Citing a need to reawaken her passion, Caren Petersen is moving A Muse Gallery to German Village. “I think it will be exciting,” Petersen said.” We just needed to shake things up a bit.” The fine-arts art gallery, located at

996 W. Third Ave. in the Grandview Heights area for the last 12 years, will open in German Village by appointment only on March 1, with an open house slated for March 18. The new 1,200-square-foot space at 188-190 E. Whittier St. will be split into two rooms, one for A Muse Gallery, which will be shortened to Muse Gallery, and Circle Gallery, a high-end, private-

DIRECTORY

client brokerage gallery. A locked courtyard on the side of the building will serve as a display area for sculptures. Petersen said the West Third Avenue site was a great location for many years. But with many clients moving to German Village and her desire for change, she said, she believed that the new location “felt comfortable, appropriate for where we’re at.”

“I think that’s important because if I’m not enthusiastic about it, it’s just business,” she said. Petersen herself will make a move to the area, taking up residence in the Brewery District. In 2007, she opened a gallery in Taos, N.M., which closed in September. “The economy was the deciding factor,” she said. “Time was the other.”

ber,” Dave Smigelski said. “Do your part.” Huntzinger served the St. Mary parish from 1979 until he retired in 1994. Known as the “German Village shepherd,” Huntzinger was ordained into the priesthood in 1950. His parents, Clara Reeb and Joseph Huntzinger, were baptized at St. Mary and completed their education at St. Mary Parish Schools. Huntzinger is credited with overseeing the renovation of the church, completed in 1987 after eight years of planning. “His work continues to make St. Mary Church the landmark it

is today,” Graham-Price said. In other news from the gala, the school is holding a $5,000 scholarship raffle good for any school in the country. The scholarship will be awarded directly to any educational institution for the 2011-12 school year — whether it be a preschool, elementary school, high school or college — or deposited directly into a college savings account. Tickets are $20 and only 500 will be sold. Graham-Price said the gala, since its inception, has helped raise $145,000 for tuition. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Continued from page A1 Residents who want to qualify must file an application by the first Monday in June, said David O’Neil, communications director for the auditor’s office. “It’s very easy to qualify and it’s for life,” O’Neil said. For example, a home valued at $90,000 would be appraised at $65,000 under the homestead exemption. The baseline valuation increases per the triennial update and six-year reappraisal process, O’Neil said. Mingo said that despite the slump in the economy and housing market, some real estate in certain Franklin County neighborhoods likely would remain strong. However, he said he would not offer his threshold view of German Village properties at the meeting until the valuation process has been completed. Brian Santin, president of the German Village Society board of trustees, said the auditor’s discussion could prove valuable for local property owners. “I think this is a great opportunity for the German Village community and residents should take advantage of Mr. Mingo’s visit to learn more about the function of the Franklin County Auditor’s Office and the 2011 reappraisal efforts,” he said. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

SENIOR ASSISTANCE Continued from page A1 said they anticipate having at least one paid staff member to run the program and a bevy of volunteers to help provide services Committee members said they would seek the approval of the German Village Society’s board of trustees before launching Village Connections. Much work still needs to be done, said Eleanor Alvarez, a senior-care professional and member of the long-range planning committee. “In two years we should start to see something,” she said. Consideration of Village Connections began about a year ago with the idea of providing aging

empty-nesters help with a variety of services, from transportation to housework. The longrange planning committee has been researching successful models across the country, such as Beacon Hill Village in the Boston area. The founders of Capitol Hill Village in Washington, D.C., also attended a long-range planning committee meeting in November to discuss their process of beginning an aging-in-place program. Alvarez said she is pleased with the committee’s progress. “I think we have some momentum. It’s pretty exciting,” she said. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

GVS streetscape committee shaping Third Street plan The German Village Society’s streetscape committee has been hard at work making sense of how to create and implement a streetscape plan for Third Street. This process has been long in coming and will continue to be so, but with this determined crew behind it, motivations are kept high and determination to see it through is unrelenting. The mission of the streetscape committee is simple: The combination of historic buildings and streetscape defines the historic character of German Village by their physical presence and sense of identity and stability. The streetscape incorporates the public spaces between the buildings, such as the tree-lined streets, alleys and pedestrian walkways. The distinguishing materials, such as brick streets, stone curbs and brick sidewalks are regarded as architectural treasures to be protected. The goal is to have a plan that can enhance Third Street and then relate to all other streets in the historic district. There have been professionals involved at every step along the way and the committee has, at this point, I think, considered dozens and dozens of options and alternatives. There have been large-scale public meetings, monthly smaller-group committee meetings and

plan after plan to review. The society has shared its collection of historic photographs to help professional JODY planners deGRAICHEN termine what makes the most sense for street furniture, lighting, etc. (No surprise there — it’s the stuff that’s been in the village all along.) More than anything, the streetscape plan will give us a tangible framework for what we should set our sights on for the future. Will we need additional funding? You bet. But at least we’ll have a shared and clearly understood plan for how any monies raised will be spent. This is collaborative planning at its best, grassroots volunteer committee work getting something done and having staff members determined to apply for city funding and review requests for proposals. Committee membership has changed, but the goal has remained the same and kept us on track, thanks in very large part to dedicated leadership from committee chair Brian Santin. The next very important step is a meeting March 2 with Yolita Rausch, a historic preserva-

tion consultant from Cleveland who has long been a friend to the village. She has been instrumental in helping us understand what makes the most sense for our neighborhood from a preservation planning perspective. Having a preservationist involved at this juncture is important because it is critical that anything newly introduced to Third Street will need to complement and respect the historic structures and street. In fact, I would be so bold as to say that the very best plan won’t introduce too many new features at all and may not even be that noticeable to residents. It would merely enhance what we already have and make things seem a little easier, a little more attractive and a little more organized, but without anything blatantly declaring that. My great hope is that our plan, our vision and the hard work put in by the streetscape committee comes to fruition in a way that honors the tradition that is German Village. I really believe it will. For more information about the streetscape committee and the Third Street plan, visit www.germanvillage.com and review the committee’s page on the site. Jody Graichen is director of Historic Preservation Programs for the German Village Society.

Guest column

Local Garten Club spreads its roots with each passing year We often hear that someone is “aging gracefully.” Could this also mean that a small club is maturing with grace and style? Let’s roll back the footage of the German Village Garten Club and discover what transpired. During a balmy Sunday afternoon in August 1966, Marion and Alice Boyer invited a dozen other neighbors to their backyard. Each of the men and women had become supportive of the good work Frank Fetch had done in scraping and cleaning the bricks of aged, broken structures and constructing attractive homes and businesses. As the conversation progressed about what was good and what was missing in the neighborhood, the decision was made to formulate a new group that would add beauty to the brick paths and plant a social network. The German Village Garten Club was created, with Don Clapham of South Sixth Street as its first president. Marion Boyer volunteered to be a “committee of one” to assist the pioneer officers in creating the constitution and bylaws. The Garten Club membership grew each year. Generous donations from villagers, some achieved by going door to door, assisted the club’s growth and credibility. In 1968, the second Oktoberfest was held in Schiller Park. The Garten Club voted to sell dried flowers, autumn weed arrangements and baked goods at the event. From this first booth to the tents we have today in

May, the club members have worked diligently each year to earn the funds for beautifying the village CAROL and hosting gatherings. PORTER The 2011 GartenMarkt may not have “weed arrangements” for sale, but it is the place to socialize — and be seen — while purchasing plants and outdoor-living accessories. The hard-earned proceeds are all put back into the village in one way or another. Aging gracefully? The club is celebrating 45 years of parties, fundraising drives, road trips,

lectures, news stories, weeding and significant contributions, thanks to the help of many men and women in the club. Their dedication toward improving the quality of life of residents and planting inspiring public gardens for tourists’ pleasure is unmatched today in a private national historical residential area. Each season, people come and go and each season, their footprints remain. The German Village Garten Club means timeless blooms and endless friendships, all aging gracefully. Carol Porter is a board member of the German Village Garten Club and editor of its newsletter, “The Bloomin’ Pot.”

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

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.

By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek

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

P.K. O’Ryan’s Restaurant too. My favorite was the salty Black & Bleu ($10), jacked up and Pub 666 High St., Worthington 614-781-0770 Web: pkoryans.com Cuisine: Irish & British pub Price: $ (up to $10 per person) Patio: No Hours: 8 a.m.-11 p.m. Sunday -Thursday, 8 a.m.-midnight Friday-Saturday the sweet and salty house poppyseed feta dressing. Want more of that crave-worthy house-roasted corned beef? Of course you do, so order one of P.K.’s excellent Grilled Reubens ($10). 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. Benton’s blog, visit ColumbusDiningGuide.com.

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 deepfried 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 614444-5460. 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. To read more on Baney and see his recipe for fish tacos, go to www.ThisWeekNews.com/foodandwine.
