Cooper Park

GVS rethinking terms with developer By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers German Village Society officials are reassessing whether to seek a goodneighbor agreement with Arshot Investment Corp. over the redevelopment of Cooper Stadium. During its monthly meeting March 7, the society’s board of trustees passed a resolution to seek a covenant that

would protect the community from noise and other issues associated with Cooper Park, the proposed racetrack complex in Franklinton. Without the accord, trustees said, they would consider publicly opposing the park. After a flurry of conversations the day following the meeting, however, trustees rethought their position, said board president Brian Santin.

“I don’t know if we’re going to continue to pursue it because what it may potentially imply is that by virtue of signing the agreement that we are in favor of the development,” he said. “And so we are re-evaluating our formal position.” Arshot had reached a binding accord with the Southwest Civic Association on several issues relating to the racetrack. In return, the civic association

and the Southwest Area Commission publicly supported the proposed facility. So the GVS had sought to reach a similar, albeit independent, agreement with the developer. German Village resident Jay Smith, a commercial real-estate broker, agreed to begin discussions on behalf of the society. Arshot will not consider a separate agreement for German Village, ac-

cording to spokeswoman Lisa Griffin. Also, Arshot would make no additional provisions to the original agreement without the consent of the Southwest Civic Association, Griffin said. “We were looking forward to sitting down with them and hearing their questions and concerns, as we have with any group that would want to learn See TERMS, page A2

sion, said Yolita Rausche, the historic preservation consultant who has been involved with the Third Street planning but has not been hired to guide the project. The funding, if approved, won’t be available until 2016, Rausche said. So, the committee must further define what it considers essential improvements, she said. There are further wrinkles in the process. One is that most improvements must go through the German Village Commission, the architectural review board that will assess changes to the street. Jay Panzer, chairman of the commission, said the group is not yet formally involved but expects a great deal of deliberation. “Getting the master plan together is the first step in a very complicated process,” he said. “Third Street is not only different from end to end, it’s different from property to property.” Finding revenue streams is a complicated compo-

German Village wants a lot — and needs to do a lot — to improve South Third Street. The effort to beautify and fix the roadway between East Livingston and Reinhard avenues has been kicked into high gear, as a historic preservation consultant recently told neighborhood officials that a key grant would be made available next year. The German Village Society’s streetscape committee, in a master plan approved last summer, named about a dozen scenarios for enhancing the stretch of roadway, from burying utility lines to installing decorative planters to removing the asphalt on Third Street and renovating the brick underneath. A timeline must be met if the community wants transportation-enhancement funds through the U.S. Department of Transportation. Those funds will become available next March through the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commis-

The plug has been pulled on Jammin’ in the Park. What was supposed to be a three-destination concert series — with Schiller Park as one of the stops — has been canceled because of costs and scheduling conflicts, said Aaron Leventhal, who planned the performances. A pop-rock show was proposed for June in Schiller Park. Leventhal said he couldn’t strike a deal with Actors’Theatre of Columbus, which is guaranteed use of the stage from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Another performance was scheduled for July in Goodale Park. But that event became cost-prohibitive, with the city charging a minimum of $2,000 in rental fees and licensing, he said. “I was overwhelmed with the cost,” he said. A third show was slated for the Fort Hayes Career Center. All performances were to be free and open to the public, while also serving as a fundraiser for several nonprofit organizations, including the German Village Society. “My goal was to use it is as a model to grow to eight or 10 of these for the bicentennial year,” he said, referring to the city of Columbus’200th anniversary party, slated for next year. Leventhal, who lives in German Village, was in charge of the local Oktoberfest for a number of years. He also owned High Street Magazine, which he recently sold. He said he still intends to fund summer student scholarships for Directions See CONCERTS, page A3

CASON RETIRES 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 editing, 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 ex-

TERMS plained 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 successful 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 important 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.

While Tobin wouldn’t ask the society to pass a resolution opposing Cooper Park, she urged its members to be “vigilant and get educated.” “I think they should have a GVS representative get involved and get informed and act as a liaison to the GVS about what’s going on because the ramifications could be very detrimental if they’re not paying attention,” said Tobin, a real-estate agent who lives and works in German Village. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The formal application must be made through the city of Columbus. Mayor Michael B. Coleman showed some enthusiasm for the project but stopped short of endorsing it. “While he cannot make a commitment one way or the other at this time, Mayor Coleman would certainly be open to supporting this neighborhood project,” said his spokesman, Dan Williamson.

Katzinger’s Delicatessen and an adjacent property on South Third Street, said she isn’t opposed to the idea but would have to see more details. However, she doesn’t know how practical it would be to tear up Third Street to expose the brick. The process, she said, would be detrimental — at least in the short term — to businesses such as hers, by disrupting deliveries, taking away on-street parking and interrupting pedestrian flow. “I would want to be part of what’s good for the village,” she said. “But my idea of what’s good for the village might not be what other people think is good for the village. And we’ve seen that.” Brian Santin, president of the German Village Society’s board of trustees, said the community is in a marathon, not a sprint, to revitalize South Third Street. The

Local government cuts ‘drastic,’ coalition says By JENNIFER NESBITT and GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Gov. John Kasich’s proposed two-year budget calls for reducing funding to Ohio’s local governments by roughly 25 percent per year by 2013. And members of the Local Government Fund Coalition aren’t pleased. “Right now, we think that’s a pretty dramatic cut and we think it may be disproportionate to what the other cuts will be,” said Susan Cave, executive director of the Ohio Municipal League. “But we haven’t seen the total picture yet.” Members of the coalition will examine the budget over the next week to see where other funding sources stand, she said. Kasich’s budget proposal, released Tuesday, March 15, calls for giving the Local Government Fund $526-million in 2012 and $339-million in 2013. The fund, which is projected

to get $665-million this year, helps pay for a wide range of local services, including safety forces, parks and recreation, public health clinics, homeland security and natural disaster response. The state allocates money from the fund to Ohio’s counties, which reserve some of it for their own general funds and divide the rest among local municipalities. Franklin County gets $84.3-million from the fund. The coalition will next voice its concerns to the legislature, which will take up the budget negotiations. “We always have hope,” Cave said. “We have to look at the fact that the legislators represent much smaller areas. And some areas of the state will feel this a lot more than others.” In interviews last week, representatives of the coalition said sizeable cuts to the fund could have drastic consequences. Matthew DeTemple, executive director of the Ohio Township

CONCERTS Continued from page A1 for Youth and Families, the King Arts Complex and Fort Hayes. German Village resident Jerry Glick said that while it’s unfortunate Schiller Park will not play host to a Leventhal concert, plenty of live entertainment in the village is on tap this summer. For example, Frank Fetch Park will once again host a summer concert series the third Sunday of each month from June through September. Although he wouldn’t name the performers because of pending commitments, he promised a very good lineup. “We’ve got a lot of really neat stuff coming,” he said. “We’ve got a real good cross section of music, so it’s not all the same. We really want to appeal to all kinds of tastes.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Right now, we think that’s a pretty dramatic cut and we think it may be disproportionate to what the other cuts will be. But we haven’t seen the total picture yet.

SUSAN CAVE executive director of the Ohio Municpal League

Association, said Gov. Kasich had indicated that cost-saving actions in the budget would help ease local budgetary shortfalls. “We haven’t seen those, so we can’t know what those are going to be like,” DeTemple said. “But it’s hard to believe that cost-saving measures that are part of the budget are going to offset a 50percent cut.” Many state municipalities have

already shared services and created more efficient operations to help offset budgetary shortfalls, said Marilyn Brown, a Franklin County commissioner. “We can do more,” she said. “We need to do more.” The recession has affected local governments for many years. Gary Lee, a Union County commissioner, said commissioners have cut the budget by 10 percent over the past two years. For example, 18 people from the Department of Job and Family Services and 10 sheriff’s deputies have been laid off. “Every department we have has shrunk,” he said. In his proposal, the governor met his pledge to balance the budget, which is facing an $8billion hole, without tax increases. State Rep. John Carney, a Democrat from Clintonville, said he shares the coalition’s concerns about local-government funding. “Services cost money,” Carney said. “The population demands services. The question is, how do we pay for them?”

Matt Mayer, president of the Buckeye Institute of Public Policy Solutions, a free-market think tank based in Columbus, said it’s “gut-check time” for all Ohio agencies that need to look at things they can live without. “I agree they shouldn’t bear the brunt of balancing the budget,” Mayer said of local govern-

ments. “But there are going to be cuts. Everyone’s going to have to make concessions. We’ve grown government to a level we can’t afford, so we have to separate the wants from the needs.” A version of this story appeared on www.ThisWeekNews.com earlier this week.

Commentary & opinion Guest column

Inaction on national debt, spending 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 $821-billion. 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-of-control 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 $35.2-million. Then in January, we voted to repeal the health care law, which would cut new spending by $2.6trillion over 10 years and reduce the deficit by $700-billion. 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 STEVE the U.S Treasury to go toSTIVERS ward 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.

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 food-friendly 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

by G.A. Benton veggies and a lightly applied bright vinaigrette. 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 superjuicy sirloin and portobello slider; and

lusty goat cheese. 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 plate-filling 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.

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 cus-

tomers. 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.

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Esther and Olawale Ajiboye have opened Intercontinental Restaurant featuring Nigerian cuisine at 5777 Cleveland Ave.

“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 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. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner daily: 614-843-5665.

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 west of U.S. Route 23. The menu and pricing structure will remain largely un-

changed, 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.
