Duwayne Terry, 40, said he has been homeless since moving to Ohio in 2005 after being displaced from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. He said he spent two years sleeping on a bench at Portal Park at Arcadia Avenue and North High Street.

Asking someone for money is constitutionally protected free speech, but so is advising people not to pay. Spending time in a public park is hardly a crime, but restricting hours is also perfectly legal. In addressing a meeting last week intended for owners and managers of businesses in the vicinity of Clintonville Portal Park, the executive director of the Capital Crossroads and Discovery special improvement districts downtown outlined some simple things that can be done to deal with the problems sometimes presented by aggressive panhandlers and homeless people. By the same token, Cleve Ricksecker said, the issues facing businesses along North High Street near Portal Park do not lend themselves to easy solutions. “Getting people what they need is hard work,” he said. “It takes time.” The meeting last week, which

The meeting last week, which drew about 35 people to the Charity Newsies building on Indianola Avenue, was convened by a special committee made up of the Mayor’s Office of Homeless and Social Service Advocacy, Clintonville Area Commission, University Area Commission, the Olde North Columbus Community Collaborative, North United Methodist Church, Community Shelter Board and city departments of development, public safety recreation and parks.

drew about 35 people to the Charity Newsies building on Indianola Avenue, was convened by a special committee made up of the Mayor’s Office of Homeless and Social Service Advocacy, Clintonville Area Commission, University Area Commission, the Olde North Columbus Community Collaborative, North United Methodist Church, Community Shelter Board and city departments of development, public safety recreation and parks. The group has been meeting for the past six months, according to Mayor Michael B. Coleman’s di-

lems, hanging out in Portal Park and giving the area an unsavory reputation. The meeting, the result of three months of planning, was intended to get store owners and managers together to find out from them what they have really observed relating to troubles at Portal Park, instead of relying on anecdotes relating to concerns about and safety, Jones said. When Clintonville Area Commission member Dave Southan asked how many present for the meeting represented business interests, however, only seven or eight people raised their hands. Fellow CAC member James R. Blazer II, a member of the special committee, later said that a second session, one in the evening, might be arranged in order to get more business people involved. During his remarks at the meeting, Officer Ken Ramos, the community liaison to Clintonville, got right down to one of the main is-

rector of the Office of Homeless and Social Service Advocacy, to look into “quality of life issues” along the North High Street commercial corridor near the tiny park. Although the park is within University District boundaries, it was created 30 years ago with funding that came through the Clintonville Area Commercial. Committee members, Erika Clark Jones said, want business owners and managers to be involved in finding solutions to the issue of homeless people, some of them with substance abuse and mental health prob- See FEW BUSINESSES, page A2

The prediction from Clintonville Area Commission chairman John DeFourny that last week’s monthly meeting would feature information about a renewed effort to create a MorseBethel Connector proved to be a bit wide of the mark. John DeFourny In fact, he was the only one who brought the subject up, leading some of his colleagues to express their befuddlement. During his district report, DeFourny read a document entitled “The Beechwold Plan.” Among other things it called for the “preservation of the residential character and continued beautification of Morse Road, west of Indianola Avenue to (North) High Street.” The plan would also seek to “nurture Beechwold’s Morse Road corridor, high residential owner-occupancy level and keep it strong.” The controversial proposal for a bridge that would link Bethel and Morse roads did not come up until the third plank in the Beechwold Plan. “In regards to any future Morse-Bethel Connector initiatives, the Beechwold Plan calls to monitor community groups advocating traffic changes in Clintonville; to support and protect the rights of those owners on the street in question and those adjacent streets affected by that change,” the document stated. The plan, DeFourny read, calls for “discussing initiatives such as residential tax abatements, streetscape and most of all ‘impact’ in regards to facing any future Morse-Bethel Connector initiatives.” When he had finished reading the document and sat down, D Searcy of District 9 asked where the possibility of a renewed initiative for the connector came from. Certainly not John DeFourny, he said, stating See CONNECTOR, page A4

CAC District 1 commissioner

McLaughlin won’t seek re-election By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Fed up with the infighting and insults that have become the norm of late at Clintonville Area Commission meetings, District 1 representative Mike McLaughlin announced last week that he would complete his current term but won’t seek another one. McLaughlin said that he “can see no way that I can run for reelection.” Serving on the commission used to be fun, he said, even when members of the advisory group had strong disagreements with one another. However, ever since the issue of a proposed left turn lane at East North Broadway and North High Street to alleviate congestion of the intersection came up, “this community and this commission have gone downhill,” in

McLaughlin’s view. “This is not a positive environment to be doing my civic work in,” he said. Mike McLaughMcLaughlin lin was chairman of a task force that, in August 2009, recommended as an interim solution to traffic tie-ups at High and North Broadway the installation of a left turn lane for westbound traffic. The longerterm solution suggested by the members of the task force was a roundabout at the intersection. Much discussion and many meetings later, and after a good deal of engineering time on the part of city traffic personnel, a See MCLAUHGLIN, page A4

CAC chairman levels accusations By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Clintonville Area Commission chairman John DeFourny last week accused the four members who frequently find themselves in the minority of “trying to manipulate and corrupt the commission.” This came early in the March meeting, and helped set the tone for what was an unusually contentious session. DeFourny was attempting to put to rest

an issue that first came up at the Jan. 6 CAC meeting, regarding the doors of the Whetstone Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library being locked at 9 p.m. The move denies access to a public meeting for anyone arriving after that time. District 1 representative Mike McLaughlin, who announced last week that he would not be seeking re-election, expressed the concern of one of his constituents, Jason V. Advani. The solution, according to DeFourny, is

a simple one. “We expect you here at 7 (when the meeting begins),” the chairman said. “That should be the accessibility.” He said the meetings are supposed to run from 7 to 9 p.m., so perhaps the best course would be to just end them then and carry any unfinished business over to the following month. DeFourny noted a warning his predeSee CAC CHAIRMAN, page A2

CAC severs ties with Clintonville Inc. By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The divorce is final. The members of the Clintonville Area Commission voted 5-4 last week to sever all ties with Clintonville Inc. That prompted CAC secretary Jennifer Kangas to ask: What ties? James R. Blazer II, the District 3 representative who was appointed to be the panel’s liaison to Clintonville Inc. by chairman

John DeFourny, said that in the past an area commission member had served on the latter organization’s board of directors. But the board of Clintonville Inc. had rejected his appointment, he said, and the president had declined to respond to a series of questions Blazer posed about, among other things, a sidewalk replacement project last fall in a portion of the Indianola Avenue business district. Blazer also said that Clintonville Inc. officials had

denied a public records request from a citizen to view minutes and other records of the nonprofit organization. All of this, Blazer said, led him to question why the CAC would have any kind of a relationship with what he termed a “rogue organization.” Clintonville Inc., according to its website, is a nonprofit group “designated by the city of Columbus to plan and carry out the recommendations made by the city’s

urban planners in the ‘North High Street Corridor-Clintonville: Market Study and Action Plan.” “We’re a completely volunteer group of residents and Clintonville business owners,” the site adds. “CI is governed by a Board of Trustees and has four committees … that focus on different aspects of the work that needs to be done.” Clare Balombin, Blazer’s predecessor as the District 3 area comSee CAC SEVERS, page A2

Few businesses represented at Portal Park meeting Continued from page A1 sues that arises any place homeless people gather. “Since they’re homeless, they don’t have a place to do their bodily functions,” he said. But just arresting someone for public intoxication or some other misdemeanor frequently arising at places where the homeless spend time isn’t the answer, according to Ramos. “It actually just moves the problem,” he said. A brief stay in jail doesn’t deliver the kinds of services alcoholics and people suffering from mental illness need in order to break the cycle of homelessness, the liaison officer said. Mollie O’Donnell of the Recreation and Parks Department briefly addressed

plans for redesigning the aging site at Arcadia and North High Street, including removing the tables where homeless people sometimes snooze during the day, adding more green space and in general sprucing up the place. “I think we’re on the right track,” she said. Changing park hours from dawn to dusk instead of closing it at 11 at night has also given police officers a better means of addressing concerns, according to O’Donnell. In outlining how special improvement districts helped clean up downtown Columbus, Ricksecker said that the willingness of property owners to pay for outreach efforts and crime patrols could also work in the Clintonville, University and Olde North Columbus areas. “Every one of you has a constitution-

al right to panhandle,” Ricksecker said, adding that authorities also have a right to advise people against doing so. “Parks are designed for loitering,” he went on, but closing, for example, Deaf School Park at night went on a long way toward preventing people from camping there. “Tough love can be a good thing, sometimes,” Ricksecker said. “Don’t give money; that’s just a given,” said Lydia Pantages, president and founder of the Olde North Columbus Community Collaborative. Instead, she advised those soft of heart to offer to buy panhandlers some food. If the offer is refused, Pantages said that’s probably an indication the person asking for money isn’t really homeless. “Every homeless person is not a panhandler, and every panhandler is not a

homeless person,” Jones said, adding that a major outreach effort aimed at getting needed services to homeless people is being planned by a variety of agencies and organizations for late June. University Area Commission member Tom Wildman told those at the meeting that the problems at Portal Park are, at least in part, the result of abandoned buildings being torn down and other redevelopment projects. In walking through the old Columbus Coated Fabrics building on East Fifth Avenue just before it fell to the wrecking ball to make way for redevelopment, Wildman said that he spotted at least 60 makeshift beds where squatters were staying. “These people are just becoming more visible,” Wildman said. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

District 2 representative Sarah Snyder asked if it was DeFourny’s intention to ignore an opinion neighborhood liaison Isom Nivins Jr. received from the city attorney’s office regarding people being able to attend a public meeting. “Citizens should be able to gain access to the meeting, even if they come late,” assistant city attorney Stephen D. Dunbar wrote in a Jan. 21 e-mail to Nivins. If the city attorney has a problem, he’ll be in touch, DeFourny responded. Had she known the locking of the library doors posed a possible violation of open meeting regulations, Searcy said that she would have “done everything in my power” to comply with the law. “You’ve got no business coming here at 9 o’clock and expect to get in. You’re late,” said Dave Southan of District 7. There is no “on-time” requirement for attending public meetings, pointed out commission secretary Jennifer Kangas, the District 6 representative. Some way must be found to let people in who, for one reason or another, arrive after the library is closed. McLaughlin agreed, saying the commission must comply with its own bylaws as well as state law regarding public meetings. DeFourny attempted to end the discussion, but McLaughlin invoked Robert’s Rules of Order. That prompted the chairman to blame McLaughlin, Searcy, Snyder and District 4’s Mike Folmar of being responsible for the “continuing dysfunction of the commission.” “You’re trying to manipulate and corrupt the commission,” DeFourny added. In the end, by a unanimous vote, Kangas was appointed to look into possible solutions and provide a report within 60 days. Later, during a report from election committee chairwoman Mary Rodgers, DeFourny lashed out at McLaughlin, Searcy and Snyder for being on hand for many of the gatherings of the panel charged with coming up with rules for the voting when their terms are up in the spring. “It had an air of your trying to manipulate and heavily influence – which is legal – the election process,” DeFourny said. He added that he would have stayed away from any such meetings if he were a candidate. “That’s politics,” DeFourny said. Politics came up again when McLaughlin attempted to get backing for a resolution opposing Senate Bill 5. The measure, which went onto the House last week, eliminates the ability of public employees to strike and curtails their negotiating power. Wading into state issues is not something the commission should do, District 5’s Nick Cipiti said. “I don’t think we should establish that precedent,” he added. “I do not think we should mix politics with the community,” said District 7 representative Dave Southan, who described himself as a “staunch Teamster.” Folmar pointed out that the commission took a position last year on the increase in the city income tax. DeFourny shot back that Folmar, who balked at letting him send a letter to the judge in a case involving a serial graffiti tagger, surprised him by being willing to weigh in on the matter of the Senate bill. “It’s not something the commission should take up,” James R. Blazer II of District 3 said. In the end, at the urging of Cipiti, McLaughlin’s proposal was set aside indefinitely. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Special service to focus on unity between races By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In her 2010 book “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,” civil rights lawyer and legal scholar Michelle L. Alexander states that more African Americans are under control of the correctional system today than were enslaved in 1850. “Michelle Alexander’s brave and bold new book paints a haunting picture in which dreary felon garb, post-prison joblessness and loss of voting rights now do the stigmatizing work once done by colored-only water fountains and legally segregated schools,” according to a review by Harvard Law School professor Lani Guinier.

The author, who lives in New Albany, holds a joint appointment to the Moritz College of Law and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Ohio State University. Faced with that startling statistic, the members of the racial diversity task force at the First Unitarian Universalist Church are sponsoring a special service on Sunday, March 13, at 7 p.m. It is titled “Fixing a Broken World: A Racial Unity Service.” The church is located at 93 W. Weisheimer Road. “Basically we wanted to get people of faith, whether they are Christian or nonChristian, involved more in justice-related issues such as immigration and criminal justice issues,” said Ray Nandyal

of the racial diversity task force. Speakers for the special gathering will include State Sen. Charleta B. Tavares, D-Columbus; the Rev. Jeffrey P. Kee of the New Faith Baptist Church of Christ; the Rev. Gini Lohmann Bauman of Church World Service; and the Rev. Eric Brown of Woodland Christian Church. Professor Alexander’s book points out, according to Nandyal, that “as a nation we are hurting ourselves” and that “even those who call themselves religious have become low on compassion these days.” “We are trying to hold ourselves true to what we believe in, which is showing love to fellow human beings,” Nandyal said. The members of the panel for the “Fixing a Broken World” service were se-

lected for their own diversity, in terms of faiths and race, the UU church member from Gahanna added. “We want to become catalysts to change, bring people together and let them have conversations on what needs to be done,” said Nandyal, who is also on the board of the Columbus Metropolitan Area Church Council. Nandyal said that he hopes the unity service will serve as a stepping stone to an eventual anti-poverty summit between groups trying to help the urban poor and those serving people in Appalachia. Such a conference has never been held before in Ohio, according to the racial diversity task force member. Nandyal admitted that the people who would participate in and turn out for an

event such as the one being held Sunday evening probably aren’t the ones who need to be convinced of the need for more work in the area of racial unity. “There will be some preaching to the choir, but the choir will be getting their hands dirty at the end of the event,” Nandyal said. “Even if we add a few people to the movement, if you will, as a nation we will become stronger.” A snack reception will follow the program at the church. Those attending are asked to bring a beverage or food item to share. For additional information, call Nandyal at 594-3230.

Graffiti concerns meeting now pushed back to March 29 A sort of summit meeting for people from throughout Columbus concerned about, or more likely irked by, graffiti has been pushed back from the originally scheduled date of Wednesday, March 16. The meeting will not take place on Tuesday, March 29, James R. Blazer of the Clintonville Area Commission announced last week. The previous date conflicted with a meeting of the University

Area Commission, which is involved in putting on the program. It will still be held at the Charity Newsies building, 4300 Indianola Ave., starting at 7 p.m. Initially, Blazer had proposed to his fellow members on the area commission the concept of putting on a meeting for Clintonville residents upset by graffiti and especially “tagging” on public and private property.

split vote at a special session of the CAC on Oct. 26 rejected the turn lane concept altogether. Subsequently, on Nov. 10, the North Broadway Street Association filed a lawsuit to block construction of the turn lane. The legal action claimed that Franklin County Commissioners gave the public right of way along East North Broadway to its residents in October 1952. In the wake of the commission decision, and just two days before the filing of the lawsuit, Mayor Michael B. Coleman issued a memo to “call a timeout” on the turn lane project. “This intersection issue has just destroyed this community, has just destroyed this commission, and I can no longer continue serving on it,” McLaughlin said last week. “You will be missed,” said chairman John DeFourny, who earlier in the meeting accused McLaughlin of being among those responsible for “dysfunction” of the panel and later referred to the District 1 representative as a “political tool.” “I think it’s a shame that commissioner McLaughlin is leaving,” District 4 representative Mike Folmar said. “I certainly understand his reasons for wanting to go. “I think the dysfunction of this commission was on full display this evening.”

that he’s opposed the idea for 30 years or so. He did stand by statements he made the previous week linking a new effort to establish the link to the now-dormant proposal for a left turn lane at the intersection of North High Street and East North Broadway. “It will be pretty much the same kind of animal,” DeFourny said, adding that he was attempting to be “proactive” by including the Morse-Bethel Connector language in the Beechwold Plan. Sarah Snyder of District 2 told DeFourny that he was the only person she had heard so far talking about yet another effort at linking the two roads. DeFourny responded that Snyder had simply not been “listening hard enough,” and added that some who favor the idea have kept up their interest in the project. “It’s not a dead issue,” DeFourny said. In 1998, 63 percent of Columbus voters rejected a ballot measure that would have required the city to build a bridge across the Olentangy River creating a new east-west corridor linking Bethel and Morse roads. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

and clippings; how to open and sort the mail and place it neatly for the man ‘higher-up.’” • “How to write, fold and stamp letters with accurate neatness.” Reading through all of this, anybody who has recently worked in an office will notice how much has changed from a century ago. First and foremost, there would soon be as many office girls as office boys. And while complete mastery of office machines is important, most of them do not today require all that much oiling. Similarly most adding machines have now been replaced by pocket calculators and the mimeograph is now a museum exhibit rather than a means of making copies. Despite all of these technical differences between then and now, Niday left his students with certain pieces of advice. A few admonitions from Niday: • “Be ‘Johnnie on the Spot’ when needed.” • “The business world has no place for the laggard, even a new office boy.” • “When you go anywhere to represent your firm, show that you are proud of it.” • “When you answer a telephone or greet a caller, be courteous and pleasant.” • “Remember that office boys grow up very gradually and that there is sure promotion for the lad who is sincere, energetic and reliable.” • “Study your employer’s business and interests and aim to make yourself valuable to him from the very first day you enter his office” While most of us will not called upon soon to oil a typewriter or operate a mimeograph, the gen-

eral advice as to deportment and discipline given by Niday is just as valuable today as it was more than a century ago. The newspaper article from more than century ago concluded optimistically. “That the business world has no place for laggards, even a new office boy, is the A B C D of this school for hustlers. That there is always room ‘higher up’ for the faithful boy is an incentive which is not overlooked.” “The boys in Mr. Niday’s class will certainly be well qualified for their work when they ‘graduate’. The course is six months long with lessons twice each week – Tuesday evenings and Thursday evenings…” “A few years hence the commercial life of the city will doubtless be represented in many ways and in various locations throughout the world by the men who, as boys, received their first lessons in business at the “Business Boys Training School” at the Columbus YMCA. “ In a few years, the business school of the Columbus YMCA would leave and over the course of time become Franklin University. The YMCA itself would move in 1924 to its new home on Spring Street. The old building would be removed and an entirely new building would be built to be the home of The Columbus Dispatch. And Niday’s boys? While their names remain unknown, I would like to believe that they went on to some success. They seemed to be well prepared to do so.

About a century ago, Columbus, like much of the rest of America, was coping with change. A mostly rural agricultural society was rapidly becoming an urban and industrial nation. The process had ED begun shortly LENTZ after the end of the American Civil War and would not really end until well into the twentieth century. In fact it would not be until well into the 1920s that most Ohioans would be living in or near its large cities. But at the turn of the century, the great need of the new businesses was not simply for more workers with strong backs and boundless energy, although such people would always be welcome. Just as important was the need for a whole new generation of white-collar workers to help handle the administrative and managerial tasks of the new world of “modern business.” In an era when most young people did not go much beyond the eighth grade, large numbers of students missed out on the useful training that a “business course” in the Columbus’ one and only high school could provide. But the need for young people in the new offices created by new businesses was still there. To meet that need, other organizations tried to be of help. Important among them was the Young Men’s Christian Association or YMCA. Brought to Columbus in 1855 by Henry B. Carrington — a man who would later go on to some renown in the Civil War and the Indian Wars that followed — the YMCA became an important social organization. By 1893 had established itself in a nice building at 30 S. Third St. In this building, young men could participate in physical education, religious meetings and educational courses. One of them, taught by Homer Niday, was called “The Business Boys Training School.” Niday, the head bookkeeper at the American Savings Bank, asserted that with his course, “the question of breaking in a new office boy is settled to the satisfaction of all concerned.” Looking at a summary of Niday’s course that appeared in the local press at the time, we can learn something of both what has changed and what has not changed in local business education. “At present there are 15 boys in the ‘Business Boys Training School,” ranging in age from fifteen to eighteen years. Promptly at seven of o’clock, they came in — bright faced, alert, quickstepping youngsters, whose every attitude showed they were there for business.” And what did these young men, and they were all men as the office was no place for a lady, learn in their classes at the YMCA? • “Complete mastery of typewriters of all makes, and the clever art of keeping the machines clean, oiled and in good order, proper punctuation and neatness with all copy.” • “How to write a check; how to indorse a check; how to give a receipt; how to deposit money at the bank and how to give out change.” • “How to answer telephone calls and the importance of always being courteous, even to the most peevish caller.” • “How to manipulate the adding machine; how to make mimeograph copies; how to file papers

Program announced to help fund community gardens jointly by the mayor’s office, city council and that of the board of commissioners. The press release touted the benefits of such projects, and said that the American Community Gardening Association reports that there are over 18,000 community gardens in the United States and Canada. “By partnering with the county, we have leveraged our respective resources to create new gardens and strengthen existing ones,” Coleman was quoted as saying. “Community gardens benefit our health, our community and our environment, and they give neighbors a rea-

Great deals, healthy meals and Asian flavors at Poong Mei From its sign outside, Poong Mei — aka Spring of China — claims it’s a Chinese restaurant. And you do pass through a red-and-gold imperial-type “China gate” by G.A. Benton portal to enter the place’s dining room. But one gaze at Poong Mei’s menu or the food laid out on its busy tables (many is more Chinese than Japanese, neither filled with obvious regulars) informs you is the dominant ethnicity. Because while that while this self-described “Asian bistro” Poong Mei certainly has Chinese and Japanese appendages, its head, heart, body and soul are purely Korean. Ambience-wise, Poong Mei is neither particularly distinguished nor bad looking. Lived-in but not dumpy, it’s got a sort of past-its-prime, small-town country club vibe. Likely its most standout features are a huge, sports-tuned projection TV and goofy, piped-in stringy music, By Dan Sohner/ThisWeek which could’ve been exCuddled Tofu Soup with Beef Short Rib at Poong Mei. humed from the sound-

tracks of melodramatic ’70s movies. So the food’s the thing at Poong Mei — and fortunately, the food is very good. A sensational shareable starter was an octet of obviously homemade Steamed Pork Buns ($8). Served on a steaming metal tray, they were beautiful snowwhite pillows with puffy, delicate, meltin-your-mouth textures and lovely, mildly fermented, sourdough-like flavors. Inside each was a wildly juicy scallionflecked clump of lusty, sausagey ground pork. Also great was a more robust group meal-igniter which could equally serve as a large entree for a single diner — Seafood Noodle Soup ($10, comes with a fine array of “ban chan,” small plates). In a super fragrant, medium spicy red broth were Poong Mei’s phenomenal housemade noodles (long, thin, silky and springy) plus bits of tender seafood-like green mussels, little shrimp, cuttlefish and octopus. A handful of veggies — like sweet carrots and earthy greens — rounded out the bowl’s happily married flavors.

A bold, garlicky and mildly spicy chili broth held lots of wiggly bits of silky tofu plus veggies such as unmushy zucchini and cloud ear mushrooms. At the last second, a raw egg had been dropped into the gurgling hot broth — and I was amazed how much it enriched the soup when I broke the egg’s yolk and stirred it through the quick-cooking pot. But wait, there was more! The supersatisfying, lean soup (which included ban chan) had a fatty accomplice in the form

of irresistible kalbi (three bone-in shortribs) slathered in a sweet, thick sort of barbecue sauce. Poong Mei’s terrific housemade noodles were the basis for a dramatically allblack stir-fried Zhang Mun ($11). Looking like a dish of squid ink-sauced pasta but tasting like the marvelous (if a bit greasy) Asian stir-fry it really was, this nifty noodle-athon united pork, tiny shrimp, a lot of onions, veggies and assorted seafood bits in a salty fermented black bean sauce. Whether it’s that Chinese-style dish, or a neat Chinese-Korean hybrid like Shredded Pork with Hot Pepper ($12) or a great, straight-up Korean Hot Stone BiBim-Bob ($10), Poong Mei does it well, inexpensively and with genuine flavors.

Factory worker returns to food industry After working factory jobs both in Delaware and in central Ohio, Anuson “Chris” Khumauksorn is once again pursuing his love of cooking and the restaurant business. The Bangkok native has opened Taste of Thai in the Polaris area, replacing Ha Long Bay, a Vietnamese restaurant at 8489 Sancus Blvd. The menu offers a wide range of Thai classics, from tom yum soup to pad Thai to shredded

papaya salad. Most entrees are in the $9 to $11 range, with a few of the house specialties costing around $15. Owning a restaurant — and being its chef — isn’t exactly what Khumauksorn had in mind. Sure, he helped his mother run a restaurant in his native Thailand,

while also earning a bachelor’s degree in business management. A cousin who owned a restaurant in Florida beckoned, so Khumauksorn and his family moved to the Sunshine State to help. He removed himself from the restaurant industry for several years and moved to Ohio with his wife. Yet he longed to return to the business and staked out a location in the Polaris area, which currently has a lot of restaurants but no Thai.

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Taste of Thai owner Anuson “Chris” Khumauksorn prepares his pad Thai with rice noodles, shrimp, chicken, eggs, ground peanuts, beansprouts and scallion in pad Thai sauce.

The interior – and store sign – at Taste of Thai is bright yellow for a reason, as the color symbolizes warmth and cheerfulness, he said. He said there’s still a learning curve for some customers, who tend to group all Asian cuisines together. Or they have another stigma about Thai. “People think of Thai food as spicy, hot,” he said. Therefore, he makes it clear that he will adjust the spice level to the diner’s preference. For now, there is no alcohol, but Khumauksorn said he intends to apply for a license to sell wine and beer. Taste of Thai is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-436-3735. Fresh off the opening of the successful San-Su, Yun Hui “Yumi” Wada has another restaurant planned for Bethel Road. Aoi, a Japanese restaurant, will take over the 5,000-square-foot building that once housed Einstein Bros. Bagels and Boston Market, 876-878 Bethel Road. The menu will feature sushi, noodle dishes, tempura and the like. It is expected to open in May. Meanwhile, Wada has leased San-Su, a Korean restaurant, to Jae Uk Jong. Wada is the founder of the two local Genji Japanese Steakhouses, among other enterprises.

City League Notes

Eastmoor, Mifflin boys to meet in district final By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Two of the more successful City League coaches of the past decade will match up when the Eastmoor Academy and Mifflin high school boys basketball teams play for a Division II district championship at 9 p.m. Thursday, March 10, in the Fairgrounds Coliseum. The connection between the two began in 1999-2000, when Gene Caslin became Mifflin’s coach and Sean Taylor was one of his assistants. The next year, Taylor took over at

Eastmoor for Ed Johnson while Caslin led the Punchers to a Division II district title. Mifflin added Division I district titles in 2004 and 2005 and is back in a final for the first time since ’05. The Warriors have been to a district semifinal in Division II in each of the past seven seasons, and were district runners-up in 2007 and 2009 and district champions in 2008. They also earned City League-South Division titles each year from 2007-09. “Every now and then I run into (Eastmoor),” Caslin said. “I like it because (Taylor’s) a good guy. They’re well-

coached. We play a mostly Division I schedule, and when tournament time comes, it toughens us up.” The other big thing the teams share is that neither had winning records during the regular season. Mifflin is 11-12 and won just eight regular-season games before beating Columbus East 74-59 on Feb. 23, second-seeded Buckeye Valley 64-60 on Feb. 26 and sixth-seeded Granville 6351 on March 4 to advance to a district final. Eastmoor is 12-10 overall. It was seeded seventh and beat Whitehall 60-

32 on Feb. 26 and third-seeded DeSales 58-51 on March 4. The district champion will play St. Paris Graham or St. Bernard Roger Bacon in a regional semifinal at 5:30 p.m. March 17 at Kettering Fairmont. The regional final is 3 p.m. March 19 at Fairmont against Cincinnati North College Hill, Dayton Dunbar, Dayton Thurgood Marshall or Urbana. Mifflin features one of central Ohio’s top talents in senior Percy Dean, a 5foot-9 guard who averages 24 points and was district Player of the Year. Other key players among the Punch-

ers’ 10-member senior class are 6-7 post player Alex Harris and 6-3 forward Ashton Scott, who both average in double figures in rebounds. Scott is the brother of 6-8 junior post player Devon Scott, who plays for Northland. Eastmoor features senior Ron Tanner, an Ohio State football recruit who scored 19 points against DeSales. Sophomore guard John Draper scored 20 points against the Stallions and junior guard Bryan Booker added 11 See CITY, page B2

Commentary

Arcy helping Patriots ice foes It was a hockey game that the players, coaches and fans won’t soon forget. On March 5 at the Dispatch Ice Haus, top-seeded Dublin Jerome played second-seeded Olentangy Liberty for a district championship.

Brad McCurdy (8.8), Brian Dunlay (8.8) and Jake Brobst (4.3). McCurdy said the Eagles will need to avoid turnovers and rushing into poor shots, problems in the first two games against the Hawks. “Hartley is bigger and more athletic than us, so we need to play our style,” McCurdy said. “We need to work the ball around on offense to get good shots, because they’re too big and athletic to shoot over.” The Eagles held Centennial to 8-for-40 shooting in a game that featured four lead changes and four ties. Centennial fin-

points. “We’re young, but the bottom line is that when we played against Beechcroft and lost a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter, we grew up a lot,” said Taylor, referring to a 76-75 loss to the Cougars in the regular-season finale Feb. 15. “I’ve been telling the guys all year that Division II was wide open.” •DISTRICT CHAMPS ...

LARSON Continued from page B1 Saturday. “As a goalie, I have learned that you have to block out all the external things going on during a game and just focus on playing my game with a smile on my face. I love the game of hockey and I love the competition. “I understand my role as goalie can control the outcome of any game, but am excited to be in that position. Playing this position with my teammates has truly boosted my confidence as

a young person and made me believe in myself, and that goes a long way in all aspects of my life. I can’t wait until Saturday.” These are the moments that sports provide for a lifetime. For Arcy and his teammates, the district championship will be lodged in their minds forever. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School.
