Emporium planned for Thurman Avenue By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers Rebecca Milnes is in the midst of transforming a German Village property with a rich history and — she hopes — a lot of potential. Milnes is redeveloping the 4,600square-foot building at 210 Thurman Ave., to be called Thurmania Place. She hopes to create an emporium concept at the site, replete with chocolates,

greeting cards, locally sourced food and knickknacks. Milnes said she is seeking approval of her plans from the German Village Commission, the local architectural review board, and hopes to have the space ready by Aug. 1. “We’re in the midst of negotiations with a number of people,” she said. “We’re not exactly sure how the structure is all going to work. We’re getting quite a bit of interest.”

The building at 210 Thurman Ave. was constructed in 1914, Milnes said, and has had a number of uses over the years. From 1914 to 1944, it was the Thurmania Theater. Use as a pharmacy, a doctor’s office and an art gallery followed. The Blue Sky Gallery occupied the space for almost 20 years but closed about three years ago. Milnes believes the building has been vacant ever since.

The façade has some significant architectural flourishes she’s hoping to preserve. “We’re trying to return to it to some of its former glories,” Milnes said. “It’s a unique building.” She plans to lease the 2,600-squarefoot emporium to several vendors and live in a 2,000-square-foot apartment in the back. Meanwhile, the 3,000-squarefoot basement, former home of the Latvian Supper Club, will be converted to

a wine and cheese shop and a banquet room. Karen Page, president of the German Village Business Community, said she likes the sound of Milner’s redevelopment plans. “Thurman Avenue is a happening place,” she said. “It’s nice to take what’s vacant and make it pretty.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

(Above) Returns manager Bob Gilbert searches through a rack in the Book Loft on March 16. (Below) Displays piled high with books, like this one in front of the store’s entrance, attract customers from all over the region and beyond. The independent book store gets plenty of customers, even though it has not yielded to several industry trends, such as on-site coffee shops and free wireless Internet access.

Book Loft bucking industry trends By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers No coffee. No lounge seating. No free Wi-Fi. That’s no problem for the Book Loft of German Village. The independent book store has weathered every economic maelstrom and refused to relent to most industry trends in its 34 years in business. Co-owner Roger Tompkins even brushes off a current challenger: the Kindle, the flat-screen electronic device that allows readers to download books, and similar devices. “I think we have a different breed of book buyers,” he said. “People seem to know what we are.” And another trend could be in its favor. Book giant Borders announced in February it would seek bankruptcy protection and close at least 200 stores. Two of those are in Columbus: one on Kenny Road and another on Sawmill Road. Even though they are on the northwest side of the city, their departure from the market could help the Book Loft, a purveyor of new releases, Tompkins said. Where some stores have added elaborate cafés and seating areas to woo customers and provided them with wireless Internet to keep them, the

Katharine Moore might not have dirt under her fingernails but she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. Moore, an avowed fan of gardens — but not gardening — is the new chairwoman of Friends of Schiller Park. “It feels like I am walking in some really big shoes,” she said. “It’s really about that. It’s about following some incredible leadership.” She gives plaudits to Connie Swain, Janet Druen and Elspeth Willoughby, who formed the organization 30 years ago and developed a master plan that guides anything that is done in the park. They were followed by Ron and Donna Solove, Connie Katharine Klein and Louis Smith, the Moore latter of whom were co-chairs until a year ago. Moore said her short-term goal is to preserve the “Dig In” program, which maintains the perimeter gardens around Schiller Park. One of her long-term goals is to build a steering committee that will recruit dozens of neighbors to volunteer for “all sorts of different opportunities,” including Easter egg hunts, bench painting and adjusting tree plaques. Moore, who was executive director of the German Village Society for 13 years, said she understands how important Schiller is to the community and visitors. “What I love about Schiller Park is it is a perfect illustration of how things get done in German Village: You plan thoughtfully, you bring in all the available expertise and then you marshal the resources of the neighborhood,” she said. “And when you do those things, the sky’s the limit. “I think one of the most important contributions the German Village Society has made over the years is the enhancement of Schiller Park.” Sara McNealey, who chairs the parks and public spaces committee for the German Village Society, said she is thrilled Moore accepted the volunteer position. McNealey said she asked Moore to chair the group because of her computer and organizaSee MOORE, page A2

So it’s a good trip for me.” Arledge had submitted his name to be considered for director of the society, a position last held by Erin O’Donnell, who resigned in 2009.

BOOK LOFT

Continued from page A1

Continued from page A1 “This is the worst winter we’ve had in 34 years,” he said. “I haven’t seen anything like it.” Loitering isn’t necessarily discouraged at the Book Loft, 631 S. Third St. The owners really want people to take their time and browse the stock. But because of space issues, there’s no room for couches, fireplaces or tables. If customers want some java, Book Loft employees direct them next door to Cup O’ Joe or down the street to Starbucks. “That’s really nice because I don’t have to deal with it,” Tompkins said. Tompkins and Carl Jacobsma opened the store in 1977. Back then, it was a tiny book depot: two floors with a loft on top, hence the name. They ran the Village Owl on City Park Avenue while opening the Book Loft, which is in a structure built in the 1800s. They later sold their other enterprise, which is no longer in existence. Over time, as the German Village community’s reputation improved, the neighborhood got more visitors. So did the Book Loft. In 1987, they brought on a third partner, Russell Iler, the book buyer at the store. Tompkins and Jacobsma slowly expanded, taking over a candy shop, art gallery, bric-a-brac store and other retailers. Now the Book Loft totals 7,500 square feet — a labyrinth of narrow walkways sided by towering bookshelves containing every conceivable book, plus an extensive collection of jigsaw puzzles, DVDs, greeting cards, posters and other merchandise. There are two things customers won’t find: used books or textbooks. The front entrance is down a long, brick-and-stone-lined corridor — decoratively landscaped during warmer months — off Third Street. In a display area near the front door, Rachel Page and Emily Johnson, both of whom live in southern Indiana, recently were browsing the stock. “It’s one of my favorite places in Columbus,” said Page, a junior at Purdue University who spent an internship in Columbus last summer. “It’s an experience coming here.” Johnson said she was curious about the space. The store’s owners said there isn’t one particular type of Book Loft customer. They come from all walks of life with varied reading interests. “It’s an audience you can’t get in most places,” Jacobsma said. “We have a tremendous amount of out-of-towners,” Tompkins said. “We have some faithful people who come down every six weeks and spend the day here.”

ARLEDGE of Arledge’s full-time position, the society could re-evaluate the future director’s role and salary. “We’ll see how that plays out,” he said. “The budget is of concern. We’re making sure we are being fiscally responsible.”

GartenMarkt sale is the place to be for your garden needs Can you ever remember when German Village was not a plethora of flowers — reds, whites, yellows, blues, oranges — and blooms wandering through the iron gates of cottage gardens or standing tall in pots adorning front porches? During the very early years, residents planted vegetable patches and beautiful bold colors in window boxes. As longtime resident Tom Larsen once said, the bountiful gardens looked so good because residents rushed to the streets to shovel up horse manure and then worked it into their garden beds. Resourceful settlers! Attractive gardens in the village have been a tourist attraction for years and the German Village Garten Club members are the enthusiastic leaders in motivating this floral landscape. Since 1966, the club members have sold plants and shared planting tips during a plant sale. To this day, the Garten Club continues the tradition. The event is called the GartenMarkt, scheduled for May 7. Held annually on the Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend, the sale is not only “the place to be seen”

but the place to ask questions about planting, fertilizing and landscaping. From shade to sun, small to large, green CAROL to white or PORTER bloom to no bloom, the energetic and knowledgeable volunteers will assist you in mixing textures, colors and size. Garden Bouquet owner David Gaumer chairs the GartenMarkt team and inevitably has the event well organized. Even though the club is sometimes frustrated if a hailstorm or ferocious wind comes barreling through the grounds, the plant sale goes on all day. Last year’s event was certainly one sale to test the endurance of plants remaining in hanging baskets. And the profit tested the leadership skills of the club’s executive board. The GartenMarkt team’s volunteer time is an incredible amount of hours over a six-month period. As in the early years of the club, the funds earned support the ongoing budgeted programs of the German Village Garten Club.

These include educational programs, year-round plant maintenance of Frank Fetch Park and 27 large flower boxes on the Third Street sidewalks, publishing of “The Bloomin’ Pot” newsletter, the summer production of four free concerts in Fetch Park and, of course, a “thank you” reception for all the club’s dedicated volunteers. The trailblazing effort in beautifying German Village is a seed that continues to flourish. The motivated Garten Club members and Friends of Frank Fetch Park invite everyone to attend GartenMarkt May 7, as well as the preevent kickoff Jazz and Juleps the night before. GartenMarkt is something like the Easter parade in New York City. It is the place to stroll and be seen while enjoying a good cup of coffee and a homemade goodie. The place to be on May 7 is German Village. A day of garden shopping awaits you at the GartenMarkt. Carol Porter is a board member for the German Village Garten Club and editor of its newsletter, “The Bloomin’ Pot.”

As it were

Everybody walked when Columbus was a young city Columbus has not been a “walking city” for quite some time. There was a time, when Columbus was young, when everybody walked to get just about anywhere. But that time, that walking time, ended relatively early in the city’s history. Columbus was and is a created city. There was no city on the “High Banks opposite Franklinton” until the Ohio General Assembly brought it into being in 1812. That new town was a place of many trees and few people for a number of years. But even after the trees were gone and the streets were lit nightly with oil lamps, people walked to get from place to place. The residents of Columbus walked to church, and to school and to the shops that extended south from Statehouse Square toward Main Street. Even after the Ohio Canal and the National Road arrived in Columbus in the early 1830s, it remained a walking city. A ride on the canal or along the National Road was expensive and most people simply did not have that kind of money. Because most cities, like Columbus, were walking cities, there was little inclination to reside anywhere other than close to downtown. So that is what most people did until well after the end of the Civil War in 1865. But it was during the war that the new age was foretold. The first streetcar appeared on High Street in 1863 in the middle of the Civil War. It seemed to be a good time for this kind of innovation. The small town of 18,000 people had suddenly become the home of thousands of Union troops at nearby Camp Chase on the West Side of the city. It was a good time to grow a business in central Ohio. A lot of people did just that, and Columbus became a rather big city in the years after the war.

It was in those years that Columbus became a “streetcar city” as well. That one lonely streetcar movED ing up and down High LENTZ Street pulled by two overworked horses soon was succeeded by a number of streetcar companies. Each served a different part of town and each

wound its way through its own particular part of the city, eventually ending up somewhere near the center of things that came to be called “downtown.” It is interesting to note that until well after the Civil War, no one really talked about a downtown Columbus. The place was such a small town that no one part of it was more central than another. The streetcars changed all that. They permitted people to live one, See AS IT WERE, page A5

AS IT WERE Continued from page A1 two and even three miles from the center of the city in new, mostly residential “streetcar suburbs.” These suburbs were few in number at first because riding on a slow-moving streetcar that was hot in the summer and cold in the winter was not all that pleasant. But all of that changed in the early 1890s when the streetcars became electrified. Now the big new streetcars — heated in the winter and moving fast enough to be cool in the summer — took the new middle class of Columbus to new homes in new neighborhoods several miles from the center of the city. All the streetcar suburbs were soon superseded by whole new groups of suburban communities based around the automobile. To this day, it is not all that hard to see the difference between the streetcar suburbs and the automobile suburbs that followed them. Look at the houses along Neil Avenue just north of Goodale. This is a classic streetcar suburb. The large houses of elaborate design and décor are spaced quite close to one another along the broad and spacious avenue. This was a street that once carried not just one but two streetcar tracks in its center. In its heyday, the fashionable middle class who lived in these houses left their nice homes in the morning and boarded a nearby streetcar to travel to work or play in the central city. By the 1920s, thanks to Henry Ford, the automobile, once a toy of the rich, had become the belonging of much of the rest of America. A whole new class of automobile suburbs was built four, five and six miles from the downtown. We can find them easily today in Clintonville, on the Hilltop and on the East and South sides of the city. The houses are still quite close together. But now one can find driveways as well, leading to small garages behind

the houses. It is almost as if people felt the obligation to hide the cars that had brought them to suburban enjoyment. But these new 1920s suburbs did have one important amenity: sidewalks. Even if a person were forced to use a car to get to suburbia, it was expected that one would walk after arriving there. Even this expectation was put aside after World War II. The 16-million men who came home after the war were looking for cars, wives and a place to live — usually in that order. The GI Bill of Rights helped them importantly in the latter by providing inexpensive home loans. The new subdivisions built after the war were significantly different than the neighborhoods built in the 1920s and 1930s. The houses were very much like one another and featured prominent garages facing the street. And most of these new developments had no sidewalks. If one was going to walk, one went someplace else to do it. In less than two generations, we had changed from a people who walked everywhere to a people who hardly walked anywhere. By the 1990s, it was becoming apparent that we had become a nation of people who needed a bit more exercise. Fortunately for

us, the people who manage our parks, both locally and regionally, have anticipated this need and provided us with a wonderful set of places to walk, run and even ride our bikes. All we have to do now is learn to use them. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

practical and esoteric in describing the perceived dual nature of his band, Dashboard Confessional. “I’m always in it,” he laughed.

Third Day

Undaunted by an uncertain economy, Craig Barnum has chosen the crowded Grandview Avenue market as the location for his new restaurant. Matt the Miller’s, a casual brand he wants to expand regionally, opens March 28 in a new building along the popular commercial corridor. Barnum’s restaurant is part of a new mixed-use development that replaces a building badly damaged by a fire in 2009. He said the menu is identical to the original Matt the Miller’s, which opened in October 2008 in Dublin. The floor plan is slightly smaller — 500 square feet smaller than the 5,000-squarefoot Dublin space — and there are a few different design elements, such as retractable windows in the bar area and a semiopen kitchen. But he didn’t hold back on furnishings, he said, from the artisan light fixtures and booths, plush carpeting, stone accents and custom-made beer towers. The goal is to create a laidback environment that appeals to a wide range of diners. Entrees are generally priced between $15 and $28, with certified Angus steaks accounting for the more expensive dishes. There will be numerous styles of flatbreads, which are among the more popular choices in Dublin. The place will offer 26 beers, mostly micro-brews, on tap, and about 75 wines from around the globe. Brian McCafferty, the chef in Dublin, will move to the new location, 1400 Grandview Ave. Grandview Avenue is home to several high-profile restaurants, including Z Cucina, Spagio and Shoku, not to mention Third & Hollywood, which is right around the corner. Plus, there are a number of casual spots — such as Mazah, Aladdin’s Eatery, Grand-

view Café, Figlio and Vino Vino — in a relatively short stretch of roadway. So in short, there’s no shortage of places to eat. Barnum said restaurants build off of each other, creating a solid reputation for the destination district. “I like the fact there have been so many successful restaurants here,” he said. “We just want to blend in.” Local retail analyst Chris Boring agrees. “I think overall it’s a good thing,” he said. “I think when it comes to restaurants, people choose a general location first and then they choose a restaurant within that location, so it’s going to help Grandview Avenue make the first cut.” Of course, parking issues have been a gripe of consumers for years. Barnum doesn’t see that as a problem, either. “I think people going to Grandview expect to park and

walk,” he said. “Parking is what it is.” Still, Matt the Miller’s will offer complimentary valet parking during dinner service Tuesday through Saturday. Every time the economy looks to be making progress, it seems to retract, fostering hesitation among restaurateurs. Barnum said he’s not worried: Strong operators endure bear markets. He points to his Dublin store, which replaced the defunct Burgundy Room. The original Matt the Miller’s has confusing access, poor visibility and little frontal signage. Yet there was a double-digit increase in sales over the previous year. “It’s made us work harder,” he said of the economy. “It’s made us market our brand harder. It’s made us look at producing a better value for our customers.” Barnum said he plans to open one more Matt the Miller’s locally and then look to nearby markets, such as Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Cleveland. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-754-1026.

Children with severe burns need team of doctors for care Burn injuries can be physically harmful and emotionally challenging. For severe burns, the recovery process can be both long and painful. Fortunately, there are many options and treatments available to help. Children who suffer burn injuries may face two stages of surgical intervention. The first is to assist with the initial healing of the burn and the second is to provide for long-term restoration of both form and function. Many burns heal without the need for surgical intervention. If the burns are deep enough, however, healing cannot take place, and skin grafting is necessary. This process involves the surgical transplantation of thin sheets of skin from an uninjured part of the body (usually the buttocks or thighs) to the burned area. Skin is removed from an uninjured part of the body using a special surgical instrument called a dermatome. The site from which the skin is taken is called the donor site. The burned skin is removed and the injured area is resurfaced with the skin graft. It may be held in place with skin glue, stitches or skin staples. With time, the transplanted skin heals and replaces that which was destroyed by the burn. It typically takes seven to 10 days for the skin grafts to heal. Grafted skin, however, always has an abnormal, scarred appearance. In the long term, plastic surgery may be needed in order to reconstruct damaged structures,

such as the lips, nose, ears and hands. Plastic surgery may also be performed in order to improve the appearance of scars and to release tight scar bands (called contractures) that interfere with the motion of the underlying RICHARD joints. In many cases, rehabilitaKIRSCHNER tion following burn injury requires the work of several professionals (pediatric surgeon, plastic surgeon, physical and occupational therapists and nurses) working as a team. The Burn Program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital also includes dieticians, social workers, therapeutic recreational therapists, massage therapists and psychologists. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery provides comprehensive care for all pediatric plastic surgical problems, including reconstructive surgery following burn injury. With the support of family, friends, a specialized teams of surgeons, physicians and therapists, patients can expect to recover from this experience and live normal, healthy lives. Dr. Richard Kirschner is chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery and director of the Cleft Lip and Palate-Craniofacial Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
