Views differ on adding North High parking

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

As far as D Searcy is concerned, it would turn the main street in a part of Clintonville that has plenty of parking lots into a parking lot.

In the opinion of James R. Blazer II, it could make two stretches of North High Street much more pedestrian friendly and alleviate the issue of business customers parking in residential

Hollenback Drive north to the Worthington city limits.

A closer look Blazer and Searcy, both members of the Clintonville Area Commission, obviously do not see eye to eye on the idea.

The idea is to allow parking on At the most recent CAC meeting, Disboth sides of North High Street trict 9 representative Searcy sought and from Hollenback Drive north to got the stretch of North High between the Worthington city limits.

Searcy said that her constituents were “outraged” that the idea was coming out without any advanced warning.

“I hope it will not be raised again,” Searcy said.

Consideration of the request for traffic personnel to again review adding parking on North High between Hollenback and Morse roads was put off to the commission’s April meeting.

Adding parking north of where it’s currently permitted on North High was

proposed by planning and development co-chairman Nick Cipiti in two sections, because north of Morse Road it becomes U.S. Route 23, requiring a different path for permitting the change to be implemented.

It was Blazer, the District 3 representative for the CAC, who first broached the idea of allowing parking along North High from where it’s currently cut off See VIEWS DIFFER, page A2

Wine bistro variance request delayed

Irreverent pizza operation opens in Clintonville

After Mike Sorboro, his friends and his employees had finished transforming a small shack in a defunct Short North used car lot into the smallest pizza place in all of Columbus, what might have seemed like a fatal flaw in their little business venture came to light.

“I literally had never made pizza before in my life,” Sorboro said.

Oops.

Today, Mikey’s Late Night Slice has three “brick and mortar” locations, the newest of which, at 15 E. Duncan St., is intended to serve not only Olde North Columbus but also Clintonville. It was the closest available space he could find, Sorboro said, in response to the oft-repeated question from customers, “When are you going to open in Clintonville?”

Mikey’s Late Night Slice is definitely not some corporate franchise operation, as the menu at the East Duncan Street store makes obvious.

A hummus platter and hummus pita, at $5 and $4, respectively, appear under the heading “Rabbit Food.” The list of beverages for sale is proudly proclaimed to be “24 flavors of Faygo.”

The “Special Items” include something called The Pizza Dog: “a hot dog stuffed with pepperoni served in a slice of pizza as the bun!” It is further described as “a

Mike Sorboro, owner of Mikey’s Late Night Pizza, puts out his sign advertising the fact that his busiSee PIZZA OPERATION, page A2 ness is open to at least 3 a.m. at 15 E. Duncan St., to serve Clintonville and Olde North Columbus.

Just because a variance request that would permit a wine bistro to operate out of 4041 N. High St. didn’t come up at the March meeting of the Clintonville Area Commission doesn’t mean that backers have pulled the cork on the proposal.

Rather, according to CAC zoning and variance committee co-chair Sandy Simbro, it was a matter of cityrequested traffic and engineering studies that hadn’t been completed in time for her panel’s meeting earlier this month.

That forced Metropolitan Partners to delay consideration of a request for a reduction in the number of parking spaces required to allow the bistro in a building that once held a bookstore and was also considered for condo conversion.

Attorney Jack Reynolds appeared before the Clintonville Area Commission in February to brief members on the wine bistro concept, but no vote was taken on the variance because severe winter weather had canceled the zoning and variance session two days earlier, on Feb. 1.

That detail of appearing before the committee was to have been seen to on March 1, Simbro said, so that commission members could consider the request at their March 3 meeting.

However, the applicant sought a delay to finish up the requested traffic and engineering studies “which may change the application,” Simbro said last week.

“At this time they need to get those things taken care of with the city before they move forward,” she said.

At the Feb. 3 CAC session, Reynolds said that the variance was technically to have 85 parking spaces to serve the 4,700 square feet of the building that would become a restaurant use. He said that 165 spaces See CAC ZONING, page A5

Views differ on adding parking on North High Continued from page A1 south of Hollenback north to Worthington.

He said last week that he did so because District 6’s Jennifer Kangas was unable to attend the February session of planning and development, as well as in response to a request from the chief financial officer for Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream last fall when the CAC considered a variance request that paved the way for a Clintonville store.

“If you have no parking on High Street then that overflow automatically goes into the residential neighborhoods,” Blazer said.

“The concept would be fine if we didn’t already have traffic congestion,” Searcy said. “Anyone who has tried to drive from Morse up past Wesley Glen, lots of times both lanes are backed up, so the idea of putting a parked car in the lane next to the curb would horribly exacerbate that

problem.”

Parking hours would be restricted so that all four lanes are open to traffic during morning and evening commuting times, Blazer said, as is currently the case in the Short North segment of High Street.

In an e-mail Searcy sent out to District 9 constituents in advance of the March CAC meeting, in order to get as many of them to attend as possible, she wrote: “It is important to know there is no member of the CAC planning and development Committee who lives north of Morse Road. In addition, this on-street parking issue has not been discussed with the residents or business owners of District 9 who will be severely negatively impacted by this idea.”

“I think what people don’t understand, and what a lot of the commissioners don’t understand, is just because we’re asking for it doesn’t mean it’s going to get

done,” Blazer said.

“I’m kind of appalled by Commissioner Searcy’s reaction,” he said. “If she didn’t want it she certainly could have called me and discussed it before hand. It’s a shame she’s taken that approach that we’re trying to do something nefarious.”

In Blazer’s view, on-street parking can make a busy street more pedestrian friendly by adding the barrier of parked cars between a person on the sidewalk and moving traffic. In addition, he said, narrowing the street slows traffic down.

“It was merely a suggestion for the state and city to take a look at it and see if it can be done,” Blazer said.

With consideration of adding parking on North High between Morse Road and the Worthington corporation limit withdrawn, the District 3 representative said that he would still seek consideration of the change from Morse south to Hollenback.

“I’m going to continue to bring it up for north of the library, Hollenbeck north to Morse Road, because I think it makes sense and alleviates some of the parking problems that have occurred,” Blazer said. “I think that’s our job is to check that to see if that’s a possibility or not a possibility.”

Residents and business owners in that stretch of North High Street must fight their own battles if they object to the increased parking, Searcy said.

“That’s probably something that that the community of people living there needs to weigh in on,” she said.

Searcy reiterated that it’s not an idea that finds favor, or is at all needed, in District 9.

“Our area is sometimes referred to as the parking lot of Clintonville anyway,” Searcy said.

“Unlike a lot of Clintonville, we have a lot of off-street parking.”

That was an assessment with which Blazer agreed.

Pizza operation opens in Clintonville Continued from page A1 healthy alternative to a cup of melted butter.”

And then, in the listings for “Fried Stuff,” there is the Fried Pizza at $4 a serving, which is “Your choice of sliced battered and deep-fried.”

“Yeah,” the menu adds, “we went there.”

In addition to the original Late Night Slice store in the 138-square-foot shack in the Short North, the second location inside Woodlands Tavern, the former Thirsty Ear on West Third Avenue, and the East Duncan Street spot, Late Night Slice has a fourth location: A big panel van with a complete pizza kitchen inside. On the outside customers are advised: “Pay. Eat. Leave.”

The Facebook page for the business describes it as “The Amy Winehouse of Columbus Pizza joints.”

“We really had no idea what we were doing,” Sorboro said. “It was such a successful train wreck.”

Actually, all that irreverence should not be too surprising, considering that the 30year-old entrepreneur got the idea for his enterprise from a bunch of drunks.

William Michael Sorboro was born in Akron but has lived in Columbus for much of the past 11 years. He followed some friends who enrolled at Ohio State, and took some classes there himself as well as at practically every other institution of higher learning in the city, from Columbus State to Hondros College.

Sorboro spent eight years working as a disc jockey, much of the time in Columbus but also in New York, Florida, South Carolina and Las Vegas. It was while he was working in Las Vegas, Sorboro said, that he went to San Diego on vacation and saw people riding in pedicabs, a sort of cross between a rickshaw and a bicycle.

Sorboro is nothing if not a “Why not?” sort of a guy, so he came back to Columbus, bought five bicycle taxis with his nowmanaging partner Jason Biundi and began offering rides to people attending festivals in the Short North area and coming out of the bars and restaurants in the Short North and Arena District.

“It was a good time to have them because the economy wasn’t bad yet,” Sorboro said. “People really latched onto it.”

Mike Sorboro, owner of Mikey’s Late Night Pizza, drizzles garlic sauce around the edge of a pepperoni pizza.

Aside from providing rides for people no longer able to do that much walking on their own, Sorboro said that Environmentally Conscious Transportation Pedicabs are of service to those parked too far away to walk but not far enough to justify taking a cab.

Soroboro’s original five pedicabs are still in operation, he said, and Columbus now has a total of 14 of them.

One of the first things pedicab customers asked him after coming out of this or that establishment at closing time, Sorboro said, was “Where’s the food?” and “Where can I get a slice of pizza?”

“You just hear it enough and you think, ‘OK, where is the pizza by the slice?’” Sorboro said last week as he was opening the Duncan Street store for business.

The abandoned shack at the old car lot next the Bodega on North High Street, a kind of lean-to that looks as if it might leanfro at any minute, was available from Sorboro’s landlord, so Columbus Public Health officials were asked to determine if it was feasible to create pizzas in such confined space.

It was, Sorboro said, so he began plowing money from his pedicab earnings into sinks and spatulas and a pizza oven.

Mikey’s Late Night Slice opened for business on July 4, 2009, at first using pizza dough from another parlor, Sorboro said.

Because of the volume of customers want-

ing a $3 slice of pie or maybe two or three, they soon had to start making their own.

“The volume that we do out of that little shack is just breathtaking,” Sorboro said.

The hours fit the name: 8 p.m. to at least 3 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 p.m. to at least 4 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

“You don’t close until everybody’s fed,” Sorboro said he tells his employees.

The Woodlands Tavern operation opened in August of last year after some friends of Sorboro’s got to talking to the manager of what had been the Thirsty Ear. The place had a kitchen, but the new owners had no desire to go into the food end of things, Sorboro said.

The newest venue will be open from 5 p.m. to, again, at least 3 a.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 p.m. to, you guessed it, at least 4 a.m. Friday and Saturday. That’s subject to change, Sorboro said.

The owner of Mikey’s Late Night Slice said that he doesn’t intend to go the franchise route and has “not plans for world domination.” He just wants to keep making pizzas for people who really, really, really crave a slice, late at night. Or early in the morning, for that matter.

“I’m having a blast doing it,” Sorboro said. “It’s fun seeing it take off. It is really cool to watch this tiny little experiment.” kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Guest column

Inaction on spending, national debt is unacceptable Astronomical government spending over the past years has pushed our national debt to more than $14-trillion and counting.

My daughter, Sarah, is over a year old and when she was born, her share of the national debt was $35,000. Today, it is around $45,000. This is alarming, and Congress must start making the tough decisions on spending so we can provide our children with a better future.

Many federal programs have received funding increases over the last several years that outpaced both inflation and the growth of the American family budget. In fact, over the past two years, regular non-defense, discretionary funding has increased by 24 percent, while the stimulus bill alone cost around $821billion.

This spending spree is unacceptable and unsustainable.

Across Ohio and the nation, families prioritize their own budgets to make ends meet and they should expect no less of Congress. We did not land in this spending crisis overnight and we will not turn around it around overnight; however, vote by vote, Congress can reduce the out-ofcontrol spending and debt.

The U.S. House of Representatives has already moved forward in reducing government spending in a number of ways. It was important that the first step in putting the nation’s fiscal house

in order was to start by cutting our own office budgets by 5 percent, for a savings of around $35.2million. Then STEVE in January, we STIVERS voted to repeal the health care law, which would cut new spending by $2.6-trillion over 10 years and reduce the deficit by $700billion.

Furthermore, I joined my colleagues in cutting $100-billion from the budget for the rest of fiscal year 2011, which goes through September of this year. Now that it has passed the House, the budget for the rest of this fiscal year is now under consideration by the U.S. Senate. Lastly, I voluntarily cut my own salary by 5 percent and each month, I return that amount to the U.S Treasury to go toward paying off the national debt.

These are just the first steps in the process of turning around our nation’s spending and debt crisis. As Speaker Boehner recently announced, the next step will be entitlement reform. When addressing this issue, we need to ensure that promises made are promises kept and those who are reliant on these programs today are not adversely impacted. However, we need to make certain that these programs are not just around

for our parents or ourselves but that they are still around for our children and grandchildren.

The longer we put off reform of these programs, the harder it will be to fix down the road. Republicans and Democrats need to work together for Congress to make any progress on this issue.

I look forward to having an open and honest conversation with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle on entitlement reform in the coming months.

If we want to give our children a brighter future where they are not buried under a mountain of debt, then we need to learn to live within our means today. That is why this Congress has made reducing government spending a priority and we will continue to move forward with our commitment to restore fiscal responsibility to our country.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments on cutting government spending or any other federal issue.

As it were

It was an immense operation: At its height, the Ralston Steel Car Co. employed hundreds of people.

Much of it is gone now. A few of the factory buildings remain. But in its time —for almost 50 years — the ED Ralston Steel Car Co. was a LENTZ great Columbus success. That story and the story of the man who made it happen are well worth retelling.

Joseph Stevenson Ralston was born near Hamilton, Ontario, in 1865. His father, Robert Ralston, was a recent immigrant from Ireland. His mother, Sarah Springer Ralston, came from a family that had been in America since 1680 but had fled to Canada during the American Revolution because of their loyalty to the crown.

Like a number of people in Canada, and certainly like many more in the United States, Joseph Ralston was a restless young man.

After receiving a basic education, Ralston went to sea on a ship called the City of Calcutta out of Glasgow, Scotland. After a four-year apprenticeship, he came home, but soon was on the move once again.

He spent a year in a lumber camp in Michigan and followed that with another year as a newspaper reporter.

He then turned to the sale of real estate for a time and then began to read law at night while he worked during the day. He would never practice law, but he would always claim its study helped him in his later activities.

FLOW meeting, tree planting scheduled for March 29 The next monthly meeting of the Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed is set for Tuesday, March 29. It will begin at 7 p.m. and be held in the Northwest Branch of the Worthington Libraries, 2280 Hard Road.

The guest speaker will be Jim McCormac, an avian education specialist with the Ohio Division

of Wildlife who writes a nature column for The Columbus Dispatch.

In addition, FLOW members will be involved in a tree planting set for Saturday, April 9, from 9 a.m. to noon at Whetstone Park at 3923 N High St. They will be joining with the Battelle Rivers and Stream team

and Columbus Recreation and Parks Department personnel in planting 1,200 to 1,500 seedling trees at the Whetstone Park Casting Pond area to the west towards the Olentangy River.

Battelle will host a cookout for all the volunteers.

Those planning to attend should bring a shovel and gloves.

CAC ZONING Continued from page A1 are required, but pointed out that the office clients in 4041 N. High St. would cease using their parking spots after 5 or 6 p.m. In addition, the attorney said that some spaces can be borrowed during evening hours from a nearby parking lot.

“If they get everything ironed out by the 20th of this month … the earliest it will be heard is April 5,” Simbro said. “They hope to have all questions answered and

move forward by April 5. At least that’s the plan.”

If that occurs, the issue might be up for CAC consideration on April 7.

Also on tap for the April sessions of both the zoning and variance committee and the commission is a demolition permit request to tear down the now-closed White Castle restaurant at 2725 N. High St. The permit request will also have to be considered by the University Area Commission because the

decades-old hamburger place straddles the border between the two.

Area commissions cannot block demolition projects, only delay them by up to 60 days, as CAC members learned prior to the old Clintonville Electric building, as well as the Clinton Theater, falling to the wrecking ball in October.

The application that would clear the way for Spaulding Demolition and Evacuation Inc. of Columbus to tear down the defunct White Castle notes that the 60 days expires on May 2.

Cason retires as ThisWeek executive editor Continued from page A1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers for 18 years, and his contributions are immeasurable,” Zonars said. “On his watch, the readership of our papers has grown by more than 200,000 people, which may be the most honest reflection of how valuable the public finds our coverage, which is the product of Ben’s leadership in the newsroom.”

Zonars said Cason’s legacy is the team of journalists he has assembled at ThisWeek.

“We are indebted to Ben for attracting bright and passionate reporters and editors who share his love of community news and sports, and to Ben’s high

personal standards for quality, objective and, above all, accurate reporting,” he said. “No one checks more facts than Ben. Ben’s legacy will be that his brand of journalism will live on through our staff because Ben showed them the way as he coached, mentored and nurtured them. Ben leaves us in good hands.”

Two of Cason’s first hires after he arrived at ThisWeek were Lee Cochran, now assistant managing editor and sports editor, and Sandy Wallace, news editor.

“I came to ThisWeek from a small daily, and it took some time for me to get used to the different pace and schedule of weekly papers,” Wallace said. “But Ben’s vision for the papers was very clear. It was all about better reporting, better ed-

iting, better writing. For Ben, content is key, regardless of whether it’s in print or online.

“It will be very strange to walk in the newsroom on March 21 and know Ben won’t be there,” she said. “We’re losing a wealth of experience and institutional knowledge — but I think I can safely say that Ben’s influence will continue to be felt for a long time.”

“Ben came to ThisWeek three months before me,” Cochran said. “Soon after I started, he explained his plan for improving the papers, and it’s a vision he has followed ever since and one that will continue. The success we’ve had at ThisWeek is a credit to Ben and his vision. He knew what it took to be a suc-

cessful newspaper and led us there.

“He is a leader, a mentor and, most importantly, a friend. He will be missed by our readers and our newsroom.”

After graduating from the University of Florida, Cason took a job at The St. Petersburg Times, where he met his wife, Carol.

Cason was news editor at The Washington Post during the Watergate scandal that eventually toppled President Richard Nixon. He said the Watergate episode was one of the most interesting times in his career. As news editor of The Post during that era, he put together many of the paper’s historic front pages.

Cason said working for newspapers that were family-owned has been im-

portant to him.

“I feel fortunate to have worked for family-run operations almost my entire career — the Wolfe family in Columbus, the Graham family at The Washington Post and Nelson Poynter at The St. Petersburg Times,” Cason said. “Journalism is almost always better when it’s run by families who live in the communities than by faceless large newspaper chains.”

Cason said he remains a proponent of community journalism.

“I think community journalism is the future of journalism,” he said.

The Casons are the parents of two sons: Alexander lives in Charlotte, N.C.; David, his wife, Julie, and their two sons live in Worthington.

things behind as part of an art project, the pieces are all made from paper, some of it harvested directly from many-layered announcements on utility poles.

These works are “very much concerned with the issues of living in the city, urban surroundings, and how we react to that,” Logsdon said.

The works are all made from paper and some use a kind of layering and peeling process like posters on a telephone pole, while others are actually from them, the artist said.

While Logsdon intends to add to the number of pieces in The Bus Project, and to keep track of their distribution via the website for it, thebusproject.com, he said that he intends to start branching out as an artist.

“I’m interested in working with film and video and doing more installation and performance type art … maybe even more sculptural things, building things that I can really dig my hands into,” he said. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

small blocks of brightly colored wood with images of school buses on them in areas the artist considers to be pedestrian friendly.

An exhibition of mixed-media abstractions by Logsdon is currently on display at Pennington Custom Art Services on Indianola Avenue. The exhibit will remain on view through April 1.

Logsdon, who grew up in Upper Arlington, earned his bachelor of fine arts degree from Ohio State University in 2005. He works as a personal trainer at the Arena District Athletic Club, although more and more has been pouring himself into creating art and art projects.

That includes The Bus Project, which now involves people tracking where they picked up one of the blocks of wood — so far 1,000 have been distributed, the first 200 the size of postcards and the rest

the size of a playing card — and where they put them back down.

“It stemmed from my interest in community art which I’ve had for quite a long time,” Logsdon said last week. “The inspiration was growing up in Columbus, taking pride in the city, wanting to contribute to the arts.

“This was a way to get people to appreciate their surroundings and interact with the community.”

In a way, he said, the busblocks are like graffiti, with their “I was here” declaration. But since, like buses, they can be moved, they don’t damage or deface public property.

“I’ve never done graffiti. I don’t necessarily condone it,” Logsdon said. “Technically it’s vandalism, but it’s also art.”

The works the artist has in the Pennington gallery show are somewhat the reverse of The Bus Project, in that instead of leaving

AS IT WERE Continued from page A4

amazing. Rarig Engineering had a big factory building but little about it had anything to do with building rail cars. The new company took the building and began to build rail cars. While this went on, it completely gutted the interior of the old building and then proceeded to build a brand new building several hundred feet long to accommodate an assembly line to produce rail cars.

When all of that was done, the company then went back and tore down the old building and replaced it with a new building. And while all of this was happening, it continued to build steel cars.

Between 1906 and 1911, the company built more than 10,000 of the new cars and soon found them shipped to all parts of the world. As just one example, in 1909, the company sold 50 of its cars to the South Manchurian Railway and sent the entire consignment to China in pieces, packed in crates.

Over the years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. built not only a factory but an entire community on the East Side of Columbus. The area sat on the north side of the rail yards to the east of Milo Grogan.

It was a self-contained world with most of its residents earning their livelihoods at the great factory.

Joseph Ralston died in 1920. F. E. Simons led the company from 1920 to 1935 and he was followed

by Frank Livingston in the years after World War II. Through all of those years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. was one of the great industrial businesses of Columbus.

Changes in America’s rail transport business after World War II made the company less competitive and it went out of business in 1953.

If you visit the near East Side of Columbus today it is still not all that difficult to find the streets and structures and other traces of the Ralston Steel Car Co. — a truly great American enterprise.

moved in wooden cars: box cars, tank cars or open top “gondola” cars. Many of these cars had to be unloaded by hand.

Joseph Ralston, working with a young engineer named Anton Becker, developed plans for a new type of car. The entire car would be made of durable steel and would have a series of 16 trap doors along its bottom to permit coal or anything else to be quickly unloaded.

Building a sample car, the two young inventors demonstrated their product to some railroads that hauled a lot of coal. Several of them in Columbus said they would buy the new car if the inventors could find a place to manufacture it. They did just that.

The Rarig Engineering Co. had been in business for some time at a distance from downtown Columbus along the rail lines that came into town from the east. Rarig had had some success making engines for industrial use, boilers, and even the superstructure for iron bridges.

In the years before the Spanish American War, the company decided that its future lay in what we would today call “defense contracts.” The Navy was expanding in size and influence. The Army was more involved in more places more frequently, as well. All of these people would need heavyduty artillery and the ordnance carriages to hold them.

With outbreak of the Spanish American War, the company converted to wartime production in the confident assumption that the war would last for some time.

The war lasted for 90 days. Not long thereafter, for a number of reasons, the company went out of business.

It was at this fortuitous moment that Joseph Ralston and Anton Becker came to town looking for a factory location. They found the Rarig site.

Beginning in 1905, Ralston and his financial backers began a Ed Lentz writes a history column process that was nothing short of for ThisWeek.

“I can honestly state that I have enjoyed coming to this tournament every day,” said Young, who was business manager for seven years before beginning his 12-year stint as tournament director, following the late Bill Alspach. “When I am asked about what I will remember most about this experience, it is real simple.

City League Notes

Mifflin boys to face Roger Bacon in regional semi

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The situation the Mifflin High School boys basketball team finds itself in is not an entirely new one for coach Gene Caslin.

During the 2000-01 season, the Punchers were just 11-11 when they entered a Division II regional semifinal against St. Bernard Roger Bacon.

Mifflin only can hope that it doesn’t yield to a similar result when it again faces Roger Bacon in a regional semifinal at 7:30 p.m. Thursday,

March 17, at Kettering Fairmont.

Similarly to 10 years ago when they lost to the Spartans 63-45 to finish 11-12, the Punchers are 12-12 entering this year’s regional.

“I always tell people that the tournament is a whole new season,” said Caslin, whose team beat Eastmoor Academy 65-61 in overtime in a district final March 10 in the Fairgrounds Coliseum.

Roger Bacon is 19-5 entering the regional after beating St. Paris Graham 59-29 in a district final March 9 at the University of Dayton. The Spar-

tans won the Greater Catholic LeagueCentral Division at 10-0 and average 61.6 points.

Senior Jabriel Coaston, a 6-foot-6 post player, averages 13.6 points and 8.4 rebounds. Other key contributors for the Spartans include 6-8 senior Jared Bryant (12.9 ppg, 7.4 rebounds) and senior guards Paul Byrd (12.7 ppg, 3.8 assists) and Gavin Schumann (11.7 ppg).

If Mifflin beats Roger Bacon, it would face Dayton Dunbar or Dayton Thurgood Marshall in a regional final at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 19, at

Fairmont. Dunbar was the No. 1ranked team in the final state poll, while Thurgood Marshall was among the teams receiving top-10 votes.

“This is what we’ve wanted real bad,” senior guard Percy Dean said.

Similarly to Roger Bacon’s seniordominated lineup, Dean leads a Mifflin team that boasts 10 seniors.

Dean finished with 26 points and six rebounds to lead the Punchers past Eastmoor.

Dean and senior Ashon Scott both made two free throws during the final 25 seconds of overtime to help seal

the win over the Warriors.

“When these guys were freshmen, they went undefeated at 12-0,” Caslin said. “I knew if I could keep them intact that we could do something their senior year. I’ll take a district championship.”

Although Eastmoor won a district title in 2008, it has come up on the short end of several other close games at the district level.

In 2002, the Warriors lost to Watterson 44-41 in a district final. They See CITY, page B2

— The Africentric girls basketball team’s hopes of winning a third state championship ended March 12 with a 56-50 loss to Fort Recovery in a Division III regional final at Lexington.

Senior Raven Ferguson had 31 points, seven rebounds and five steals in her final prep game.

She leaves the Nubians having scored more than 1,500 career points and was named the district’s Player of the Year this season. She made alldistrict each of the past three years.

The Walnut Ridge boys team’s hopes of winning its first Division I district title since 1978 ended with a 47-44 loss to Gahanna in a district final March 12.

There were five lead changes during the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, but first-team all-district guard Stevie Taylor and Jamel Morris each made a 3-pointer to put the Lions up 44-39 with 2 minutes, 35 seconds to go.

Taylor missed shots on the next two Gahanna possessions, however, and Walnut Ridge rallied to tie it at 44 with 1:06 left.

After Brandon Smith put the Lions up 45-44 with 19 seconds left, the Scots’ Austin Traylor was called for traveling with 12.8 seconds to go.

Taylor then made a pair of foul shots with 11.6 left to make it 47-44, and Walnut Ridge’s Reco Spears missed a 3 from the corner with 2 seconds to go.

“It’s about which team is going to do their best with opportunities,” said Scots coach Jason Bates, whose team finished 18-5. “When they were in control, they did more to win the game than we did. We definitely wanted a good look at the end, and (Spears’ shot) was about as good of a look as we could have asked for.

“Like I told them in the locker room, hopefully this is not the only memory they had for this year. They’ve done some major things. Don’t discount the fact that we got to this point.”

also fell to the Eagles 72-65 in overtime in a 2006 district semifinal and to DeSales 61-55 in a 2007 district final.

Eastmoor has advanced to at least a district semifinal the past seven seasons.

Senior Ron Tanner, an Ohio State football signee, scored 20 points against the Punchers.

“I can’t get it right,” coach Sean Taylor said of his team’s close tournament losses. “We were just trying to do too much instead of being patient. I would have liked to take them to Dayton. I know there’s a silver lining; I’ve just got to find it.”

•NUBIANS BOYS WIN DISTRICT — The Africentric boys basketball team played in a regional semifinal March 16 at Bowling Green against Ottawa-Glandorf. The winner plays for a Division III regional title at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 19, at Bowling Green against Archbold or Ontario. Archbold was fourth in the final state poll.

Archbold beat Paulding 56-39 in a district final March 12 at Napoleon. Garrett Morton scored 13 of his game-high 21 points during the second half as Archbold improved to 22-1. Terry Fricke added 12 points.

Ontario beat Gibsonburg 71-63 in overtime March 13 in Mansfield to improve to 16-7 and win its first district title since 2000. The Warriors were led by Derek Zeiter (22 points), Bryant Wendling (13 points), Spencer Sheppard (13 points) and Kevin Ujoohda (12 points).

Africentric got 34 points from Marquice Taylor, including 19 during the first half, in a 6253 win over Bloom-Carroll in a district final March 9 at the Fairgrounds. The Nubians were 16-7 entering the regional after winning their second district title.

“These kids came back this year and worked so hard in the offseason,” coach Michael Bates said. “I just kept telling the kids that they had to weather (Bloom-Carroll’s) storm.” julrey@thisweeknews.com •NUBIANS GIRLS, SCOTS BOYS FALL www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Wrestling

Delande named Super 12 captain

By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Although Chase Delande of the Hilliard Davidson High School wrestling team won the Division I state title at 145 pounds, he’s still going to be treated like the younger brother of Bo and Spencer.

Both Bo Delande, a 2007 Davidson graduate, and Spencer Delande, a 2009 graduate, were state qualifiers as seniors, but neither made the kind of run the youngest Delande did at the state tournament March 35 at Ohio State. Chase went 4-0, defeating Massillon Perry’s Tanner Lemon 9-4 in the championship match.

Although neither of his older brothers won a state title, they had an influence on Chase getting one.

“Being the youngest brother, they would beat up on me sometimes,” said Chase, who has been named captain of the 201011 ThisWeek Super 12 wrestling team.

“I think that’s what helped me a lot. It made me mentally stronger. I could take a beating.”

Spencer often came to the practice room this season to help train his younger brother. With Spencer having a nearly 50-pound weight advantage, Chase had a difficult time trying to control his brother.

And for Chase, control was what it was all about.

“He’s great at turning people over,” coach Dominic DiSabato said. “He’s a strong kid even though he may not look like it. He’s tough. He’s really physical and he has that football player mentality where he’s going to make you feel pain.”

The only central Ohio wrestler to capture a state title this season, Chase Delande earned his 100th career victory in his match against Lemon. The junior finished the season 46-2. His only losses were to Mentor Lake Catholic’s Matt Fee at the Brecksville-

“In football, it’s a long game, two hours.

In wrestling, it’s six minutes and all eyes are on you.”

•OTHER FIRST-TEAMERS — Al Caserta (Olentangy, Sr., 130 pounds), Angelo DiSabato (Davidson, Jr., 145), Travis Drumm (Heath, Sr., 215), Pat Elflein (Pickerington North, Jr., heavyweight), Trevor Fiorucci (Olentangy, Jr., 119), Noah Forrider (Marysville, So., 130), Andrew Higgins (Hilliard Bradley, Sr., 152), Brady Hutchins (Canal Winchester, Sr., 125), Ryan Murdock (Dublin Coffman, Jr., 112), Vince Pickett (Central Crossing, Jr., 160) and Bobby Smith (Ready, Fr., 103).

•HONORABLE MENTION — Dom Barlow (Heath, Sr., 152), Conor Driscoll (Bradley, Jr., 145), Sufyan El-Geroushi (Hilliard Darby, Sr., heavyweight), Anthony Fosco (Olentangy, Jr., 135), Payton Gutierrez (DeSales, So., 103), Josh Hall (Ready, Sr., 112), Caleb Hetterscheidt (Olentangy, Sr., 152), Evan Jackson (Hartley, Sr., 215), Morgan Miller (Marysville, So. 189), Tyler Miller (Marysville, Jr., 152), Nathan Pressley (Canal Winchester, Sr., heavyweight), Ryan Sanders (St. Charles, Sr., 215), Dan Satterthwaite (Grandview, Sr., 215), Chris Settles (Hamilton Township, Sr. heavyweight) and Craig Thomas (Olentangy Liberty, Sr., 152).

Enright (2003), Hamilton Township’s Jason Hackett (2002), DeSales’ C.P. Schlatter (2000-01), Ready’s Tommy Rowlands (2000) and Pickerington’s Keaton Anderson (1999).

Broadview Heights Holiday Tournament, which concluded Dec. 30.

After that tournament, Delande was unbeatable. He swept through the OCC-Central Division dual matches, defeated Grove City’s Robert Coles 14-0 to win the Marysville sectional title Feb. 19 and defeated Olentangy Liberty’s Ethan Snyder 10-4 to win a district title Feb. 26.

The state title gave Delande a state championship in two sports. He was a cornerback for the Davidson football team when it won the Division I state title in 2009.

“In wrestling, it’s more of a thrill,” Delande said of winning a state championship. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Much like the things I have written about the Fairgrounds and the thrills of the games played in this historic building,Young said it is the consistency that keeps these days so enjoyable.

“You come back year after year and you see the same people in the same places,” Young

SNP said. “I have had the benefit of having guys like Dave Siess and Steve Kull working in the same position for every year. I see the same people on press row and it even goes so far that I can look at certain seats in the stands and see the same fans in those seats. Can you imagine if those seats could talk? What stories they could tell. What a history they could send to us

of all the things that have happened since the first state tournament was held here in 1923.

Some people call this the ‘Old Barn’ and maybe that is what it is, but this ‘Old Barn’ has been a great place for me to work for a long time.”

Thanks to Ralph and Nancy Young for making the Fairgrounds a great place to be for many years. There is no doubt

that both will always be part of the high school basketball tournament family.

They earned it. Best of life always.

Vino Vino in Grandview; so nice they named it twice When I first wrote about Vino Vino around five years ago, the little Grandview hub had a lot of buzz about it. Well, frankly, I hadn’t heard much Vino Vino talk lately. After a few recent visits, I think I know why: Its many patrons are trying to keep this terrific place (and its brashly flavored, artfully plated dishes sold at really great prices) all to themselves.

Comfy, urbane, sophisticated, casual — these were the adjectives that popped into my brain as Brazilian music played (a much appreciated Vino Vino mainstay) and I perused the lengthy vino list.

The wine-named place has a few flights with grinning descriptions, a ton of bottles that range from an unoaked Chilean chard (Cousino Macal, $22) to a big Barolo (Marcarini, $80) and lots of foodfriendly juice in between.

Salads are certainly solid here. The Charleston ($6) is one of those walnut and Maytag blue cheese numbers, but nicely done — with earthy julienned veggies and a lightly applied bright vinai-

If you’re more of a Caesar person, pick the Parmesan Peppercorn ($6). It’s like a spicy and creamy version minus the anchovy but plus sweet corn kernels and a hunk of fresh avocado.

Before moving on, I should mention that the last salad — along with a bunch of other goodies — are available in smaller portions for $3 (some are $4) during Vino Vino’s spectacular happy hour, which is one of the best in town.

Other happy hour highlights include: a killer Fish Taco (get the lettuce wrap option) that’s bold, huge and colorful and easily rivals any in the city; a very nifty crab cake actually packed with crab, nicely butter-browned and offering a flattering hint of mustard; a super-juicy sirloin and portobello slider; and an excel-

Fried chicken took a fun and nutty Thai turn in the Pistachio Crusted Chicken ($13). Two large logs of juicy boneless breast meat were pistachioed and bread crumbed and presented in crusty jackets. They were accompanied by dense and garlicky smashed redskins, a nice veggie medley starring broccoli and a sweet Thai-like chili sauce.

The Roasted Salmon ($15) was a platefilling big fillet of grill-marked pink fish roused into specialness by a butter sauce with an intense lemon zestiness. Jasmine rice was on the side for sopping up the attention-demanding sauce.

A dense but not super heavy NYCstyle cheesecake ($6) was good on its own, but even better with its accessories — nuts, fruit, syrup and cinnamon.

Molten in the middle, the tangy cheese had a highly attractive, crackly brown crust. Cutting the richness were an herby, chunky and addictive marinara sauce plus a little balsamic-drizzled salad.

Goat cheese went entree in the veggie-tastic Asparagus Risotto Tower ($12).

Northland welcomes Nigerian restaurant on Cleveland Ave. Esther Ajiboye thinks Columbus is ready for something many residents rarely, if ever, have tried: Nigerian cuisine.

Ajiboye and her husband Olawale have opened Intercontinental Restaurant, a 30-seat eatery in the Northland area.

Opening day two weeks ago, the restaurant served 200 customers. Since then, a steady stream of diners has flowed

through Intercontinental, supping on such dishes as plantains with spinach, goat meat with mixed okra stew and fish pepper soup.

“We’ve been very busy,” Mrs. Ajiboye said.

The reason, she suspects, is the

paucity of Nigerian restaurants in the region. In fact, she claims that Intercontinental, 5777 Cleveland Ave., is the only one in the state. Also in its favor are the healthful aspects of the cuisine — nothing is deep-fried — and the price. All meals start out at $7.99. Prices go up if customers ask for extra portions.

“We give you what will fill you up,” she said. “We don’t ration

it.”

Both Ajiboyes are from the western part of Nigeria, where each owned a restaurant.

“Cooking brought us together,” Mrs. Ajiboye said. “Food brought us together.”

“This is the first time we are working together,” her husband said. “I enjoy it. She’s a good cook.”

Columbus is no stranger to regional African cuisines, offering a wide variety of styles: Figs Café (a mix of Ghanaian and Western fare), Blue Nile (Ethiopian) and Solay Bistro (Somali), for example.

Mr. Ajiboye said many of the restaurant’s West African dishes, such as jollof rice, are shared throughout most of the continent.

One of the most popular dishes at Intercontinental is moi moi, made from a base of black-eyed peas that are soaked, peeled, cooked and pureed, and seasoned with a variety of ingredients. After it is boiled in foil and firms up into a loaf, the moi moi is cut into pieces to be eaten on their own or served with meat. Another big seller is egusi soup, made of melon seeds, and often served with a ball of pounded yam, where diners peel off pieces of the globe and dip it into the soup as they eat.

Mrs. Ajiboye said the spice level of the dishes is mild and suited to most diners but there is a

Spain Restaurant is opening a second site in Lewis Center.

The Spanish eatery, a Northland staple for 12 years, will take over the site most recently occupied by Beebs Deli, 76 Powell Road.

The 3,500-square-foot building, which will seat around 100 people, is just west of U.S. Route 23.

The menu and pricing structure will remain largely unchanged, said general manager Luis Aguilar. A specific opening date is not certain, but it should be ready within two months.

He said the plan is to keep the current site at 888 E. DublinGranville Road and have a less formal menu.
