Access issue will change CAC meeting time By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Clintonville Area Commission members will convene their monthly meetings earlier in the day and end them by 9 p.m. in order not to be ousted from their home of the past two decades. Like the villain in some seemingly endless series of teen slasher flicks, the issue

of access to commission meetings refuses to stay dead. The latest twist had the advisory panel facing possible ouster from the Community Meeting Room at the Whetstone Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. To Jennifer Kangas

avert that, District 6 representative Jennifer Kangas, the commission’s secretary, is devising a plan that would have the monthly meetings start earlier and end prior to the branch’s closing time of 9 p.m. Chairman John DeFourny thought he had John DeFourny

administered last rites to the thorny problem at the April 7 meeting. No such luck. It turned out that his solution to staying in line with opening meetings requirements ran counter to the library’s policy for use of meeting rooms in all the branches. Back on Jan. 6, District 1 resident Jason V. Advani sent an email to his represen-

tative on the CAC, Mike McLaughlin, raising the question of whether or not meetings to which the public could not gain access after the library doors were locked at 9 p.m. met legal muster. McLaughlin referred the issue to neighborhood liaison Isom Nivins Jr., who sought an opinion from the City AttorSee ACCESS ISSUE, page A4

‘Green’ honor would be icing on the cupcake By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When Pattycake Vegan Bakery became simply Pattycake Bakery a few years ago, it didn’t cease to be a vegan bakery. The business just no longer had a name that automatically constricted the customer base. “It turned off more people than it attracted,” owner Jennie Scheinbach acknowledged. “We’ve found if we can get it in their mouths, we’ve got them.” The change in name not only didn’t change the vegan nature of the operation at 3009 N. High St., a short walk from Scheinbach’s Clintonville home, it also didn’t at all alter the mindset she had in See ‘GREEN’, page A5

It’s pretty much all over but the voting. While early in-person ballots have already been cast on April 9 and 28 in the three Clintonville Area Commission seats up for election, the majority of those participating will do so on Saturday, May 7. Voting will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the meeting room of the Whetstone branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. Voters in District 1 will find a choice on their ballot between Jason Advani, 29, and Rob Wood, 38. Both filed enough signa- Jason V. Advani tures by the deadline in order to appear on the ballot as the replacement for Mike McLaughlin, who chose not to seek another Rob Wood term. In Districts 2 and 9, the other two seats up for election, only one name will appear on the ballot, but one person in each of those districts met the deadline to run as an official write-in candidate. In District 2, where incumbent Sarah Snyder also decided not to run again, the candidate appearing on the ballot will be Nancy Kuhel, Nancy Kuhel 54. Andrew McNulty, 50, is the official write-in candidate in Dis-

trict 2. District 9 incumbent D Searcy, 59, did choose to stand for another term, and hers is the only name that will Andrew McNulty be on the ballot. She faces the challenge of write-in candidate Joe Dunning, 33. All of those running in the D Searcy election for three Clintonville Area Commission district seats were invited to respond to the following series of questions: Joe Dunning What were your principal reasons for deciding to run for the Clintonville Area Commission? District 1 Advani wrote, “Over the course of many months, I’ve seen a significant increase in the infighting, petty bickering and the number of personal agendas on the commission, and it is very disturbing to me. As a new person, a third party so to speak, I feel that I can bridge the divisiveness and help refocus the commission. Our commission has so much potential. It just needs a little help in getting back to the grassroots consensus policy development that Clintonville is known for.” Wood wrote, “When a friend of mine on Tibet talked about moving to Worthington because he was uncomfortable with an aspect of our neighborhood, I decided to get See CAC, page A2

Graffiti: Problem in need of a community solution By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Zachary M. Klein surveyed the people assembled in Columbus City Council chambers last week for a public hearing on the subject of graffiti. “Just looking around the room, you can tell this is a community

problem, and it’s necessary that we have a community solution to it,” the chairman of the development committee said. Community members, many of them from Clintonville and the Northland area, spoke at the hearing, which was convened by Klein and Councilwoman Michelle M. Mills, chairwoman

of the safety committee. The residents were clear that graffiti is well beyond a problem. “It’s an act of vandalism and breeds crime,” said Dave Southan, the Clintonville Area Commission’s safety liaison. “Graffiti degrades our neighborhoods, reduces our property values and encourages other crim-

inal activity,” Northland Community Council president Dave Paul said, reading from a letter the full council approved on April 5. “Graffiti has come to Columbus like the plague,” CAC District 3 representative James R. Blazer II said, adding that tags serve as a “welcome mat for future crimes.” “Before it’s too late, let’s take

back the city,” Blazer said. “I’m sad to say, we’re losing this war,” commented Ian MacConnell of the University Area Commission. The biggest problem facing antigraffiti crusaders in the Northland area and across the city, NCC graphics task force coordinator William Logan said, is that they

are powerless to do anything about graffiti on private property without the cooperation of the owner. The NCC’s letter supports Klein’s concept of requiring the owners of occupied structures, businesses or private dwellings to remove graffiti within 30 days of See GRAFFITI:, page A6

CAC candidates respond to questionnaire Continued from page A1 involved. That led me to the CAC.” District 2 Kuhel wrote, “My principal reasons for deciding to run for CAC are to represent my district while bringing a sense of respect for others (and) their opinions, even though we may not agree, and through deliberation that focuses on the issue, not personalities, be able to assist the CAC in reaching decisions that serve the highest good of the district and the community as a whole.” McNulty wrote, “My primary motivations for running for the Clintonville Area Commission are: the neighborhood’s future and my two children’s future; development with a focus on the people; safety with a focus on our children and the elderly; also violent crime, break-ins and burglaries; (and) to help the CAC work on the important issues in the community. With my background in negotiations I can help in bridging a collaborative environment, and help bolster focus on the top priorities for the community, help remove roadblocks to help the CAC move forward to make Clintonville the best neighborhood in the United States to live.” District 9 Joe Dunning wrote, “Simply put, Clintonville is home. I’ve lived here almost my entire life and see firsthand the great place this neighborhood can be to raise a family. Clintonville is an area in which people are respectful and compassionate for one another, and those traits need to be reintroduced into the CAC. The lack of mutual respect between Commissioners not only damages the credibility of the Commission, but ultimately hurts Clintonville as the voices of our community to the city get derailed and viewpoints of our neighbors are lost. I’ve always taught my children to step up when they need to for something that is important, and that is what I decided to do.” D Searcy wrote, “To continue to represent District 9. Over the last six years that I have served on the CAC representing District 9, there have been many proposed developments and other proposals that were not what the community wanted or needed. Among these were rezoning requests to allow automobile intensive development such as an automated car wash and gas station; demolition of a retail center housing five longterm small businesses to build a bus turnaround; and most recently a proposal to ask the city of Columbus to implement on-street parking (on North High Street) between Morse Road to the Worthington city limits. Residents of District 9 deserve a representative who knows the issues that face this area that was developed later than other CAC districts.” How have you approached your campaign? District 1 Wood wrote, “Primarily door to door talking to neighbors and with an informational door hanger.” Advani wrote, “As it is important to Clintonville, I have approached my campaign from a grass roots basis by getting the whole District involved. My priorities are the priorities of the District. I’ve made great efforts to talk to everyone in the community and let them know that I’m able to carry their voice forward.” District 2 McNulty wrote, “Grass roots door to door.” Kuhel wrote, “Distributing flyers and listening to concerns.” District 9 Searcy wrote, “Due to the lastminute entry into the race by a write-in candidate, I am personally reaching out to residents to seek their vote.” Dunning wrote, “Running as a write-in candidate not only has the disadvantages of omission from the ballot, but also gives me little time to let the people of District 9 know they have a choice and present my views. As a result, I have provided a website, joedunning.org. The site has been pivotal and I’ve received great response so far. I will continue to share my thoughts with the residents of District 9, mainly that the CAC is capable of amazing things with the right people in place, people who can work together in a civil manner.” If elected, what would be some of your top priorities upon taking office? District 1 Advani wrote, “In addition to representing District 1 with all of my heart, I hope to refocus the commission. Let’s get back to rep-

resenting the community, doing good things and bettering Clintonville. I am currently and will continue to work on reducing crime and graffiti, improving the safety of our community’s streets, and the beautification and preservation of Clintonville.” Wood wrote, “The CAC is dysfunctional. People here want that to change. This work needs to happen from the start so other important work can get done. My focus would be on crime, street speeds and safety. These are concerns I hear canvassing. Other things I am currently doing will continue: homeless outreach and addressing graffiti. And fun community projects: A night out to celebrate our businesses was suggested to me. I am all for it.” District 2 Kuhel wrote, “My top priorities will include being an advocate for identifying and preserving the remaining architectural and historically significant building in our district. I am committed to respectful dialogue with all interested parties on the issues that come before the commission; to be further committed to educating myself when complexities arise and to being accessible to my neighbors so I can stay aware of emerging concerns by being a good listener and a reliable spokesperson.” McNulty wrote, “Development. Safety. Collaboration.” District 9 Dunning wrote, “I want to make sure we work together to maintain the standards that have made Clintonville so great. I will provide better lines of communication to listen to the concerns and ideas of my constituents and work to improve the safety and quality of life for all residents of District 9. Quality of life improvements, such as railroad quiet zones, appropriate street lighting, speeding

issues, on both main and side streets, and local business development/support are all issues that are important here in District 9. Therefore, all will be areas of focus upon taking office.” Searcy wrote, “To continue to seek broad representation on the CAC standing committees. There are three standing committees, two of which do not represent the entirety of the CAC area. For the first time this year, the planning and development committee’s membership was limited to 13 members with the majority residing on one section of one street. The variance and zoning committee has only one member who lives north of Northridge Road, which is located near Whetstone Park. The standing committees of the CAC should have broad geographical representation that mirrors the entirety of the CAC boundaries.” What would you most like voters in your district to know about you? District 1 Wood wrote, “I have 10 years’ experience turning around failing businesses. Like the CAC, there was deep mistrust. Good energy was unfocused and being wasted. Important things were not getting done. The way to change this is to hear all sides and keep an open mind while having the courage to remain true to the vision of this district. And I will do this. I have done it successfully twice before.” Advani wrote, “I have the desire, commitment and qualifications for this job. Through my work, I have gained extensive experience in planning, contract management, and other technical aspects of public works. I made my home Clintonville not because I want to change it, but because I love what it is. This is my opportunity to continue giving back to the community.”

District 2 McNulty wrote, “I have lived here all my life and plan on retiring and dying in the ’Ville. My family has been in Clintonville for over 100 years and my children are fourth generation. My grandfather was President of the Charity Newsies, Shamrock Club and head of the Knights of Columbus from the 1920s to the ’40s. I am a Charity Newsie, director for the Columbus Marathon, worked as lieutenant for United Way and Operation Feed at Nationwide. I work every month at the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. I like biking, hiking, kayaking, etc., pretty much anything outdoors and time with my kids. My son Sean received the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce Student Citizen of the year and is an Eagle Scout. My daughter Katie received the Presidential Volunteer, the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce Student Citizen of the year and is a member of the Watterson Marching band.” Kuhel wrote, “I have lived in District 2 for 20-plus years. It was my pleasure, with my neighbors, to organize the West of High Clintonville Association. Our accomplishments included a successful collaboration with the city of Columbus Recreation and Parks Department and the American Legion resulting in $75,000 of improvements to Clinton Como Park. West of High additionally hosted community-building celebrations in the park featuring local merchants and musicians. I am proudest of our effort resulting in the creation of a program that identified Safe Houses for neighborhood children. My husband and I have raised our three children who graduated from local schools here in Clintonville.” District 9 Searcy wrote, “After attending

Choral group’s artistic World of Used Photography director moving away has opened at By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A series of concerts by the Magpie Consort will be the swan song, almost, for the 20-voice choral ensemble’s artistic director. Clintonville resident Sheena Phillips, who came to Columbus from her native Scotland in January 2000 when husband Christopher H. Brew became an assistant professor at Ohio State University, will be moving to the Princeton, N.J., area this summer where Brew has landed another position that’s too good to pass up. Leaving will be a bittersweet experience, Phillips admitted last week. “Very much so,” she said. “It will be a huge wrench to leave all the groups that I’m involved in.” This will be especially true when it comes to the “Magpies,” as members of the a cappella group, who come from Clintonville, Worthington, Dublin, Hilliard, Old Town East, Westerville, Lewis Center and Galloway, call themselves. Phillips said that her involvement with the group has enabled her to stake the unlikely claim of having made a career of choral music in Columbus. “The Magpies have really been a center of that for me, and in a way the group that’s been the closest to my heart because I’ve got the greatest artistic freedom with them,” Phillips said. “They’ve really become friends. It’s a sad thing to leave it.” She’s scheduled to direct the singing group, which met for the first time in the dining room of David and Karen Carpenter’s Clintonville home in February 1998, for the spring program, titled “The Garden” and debuting for the public on Saturday, May 7. Phillips will close out her career as artistic director for the Magpie Consort (the third definition of the word is “a group of instrumentalists and singers who perform music, especially old music”) when she leads them for the final time a

choral festival set for Saturday, June 4, at 7 p.m. in the First Congregational Church. Phillips said that her departure will not clip the wings of the Magpies, and that the members are working on putting together a job description in preparation for advertising for a new artistic director. “The Magpies intend to continue singing together, and are currently seeking people with an interest in directing the group this fall,” according to the announcement of the spring performances. “I feel certain they will continue in some form,” Phillips said. “Our spring program celebrates birds, flowers and springtime, with a joyful mix of madrigals and lute songs, quiet and rowdy folk song arrangements, medieval spring songs, Janequin’s delightful ‘Le Chant des Oiseaux (Birdsong),’Japanese poetry and songs about bees, clouds and magpies,” according to the announcement. Guests participating in the concerts will include Eugene Braig on guitar, Jeff White on percussion and dancer Meghan Western. “The Garden” will be performed at four venues in Columbus, beginning at 8 p.m. on May 7 at Maynard Avenue United Methodist Church, 2350 Indianola Ave. On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8, there will be a 2 p.m. performance in the Franklin Park Conservatory, 1777 E. Broad St. St. Leo Church, 221 Hanford St., will be the venue for the 8 p.m. performance on Saturday, May 14. Finally, the spring series concludes on Sunday, May 15, at 4 p.m. in Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1555 S. James Road. The suggested donation for those attending is $10, with the exception of the May 8 performance, which is free with admission to the Conservancy. For information, visit www.magpieconsort.org.

‘Fest at the Crest’ to benefit Simply Living A music festival, Mediterranean dinner and silent auction set for Friday, May 6, at the Crest Tavern will benefit the local, independent nonprofit organization Simply Living. The event will run from 5 to 11 p.m. The tavern is located at the intersection of Indianola Avenue and Crestview Road. The lineup of local musicians includes the Bead People, a selfdescribed hippie nostalgia band that features music of the 1960s and ’70s; Megan Palmer, a singersongwriter who plays piano, violin and guitar, and is back in Columbus for the weekend; Donna Mogavero, a homegrown, veteran singer and songwriter; and the Bug Hounds, who will finish the evening with their own original songs and popular covers of Dylan, the Beatles and others. A Mediterranean-style dinner prepared by chef Alex Smith will start off the event. Admission is $10 for the meal and live music all evening. The doors open at 5 p.m. for dinner, mixing and browsing the silent auction items that include a wide variety of donated items.

CANDIDATES Continued from page A2 more than 100 commission meetings over the last 10 years, I know the issues facing Clintonville and District 9. These last six years, I have represented District 9. The CAC owes the residents of Clintonville thoughtful, well reasoned proposals that have undergone thorough due diligence before proposals are submitted to the city of Columbus. Because due diligence had not been done, I opposed the recent CAC vote to ask the city of Columbus to implement quiet zones for along the railroad. I support quiet zone remedies that have been researched. I have found that the city of Columbus is most responsive when the community has done its part to make reasonable recommendations. The CAC should insure that it has done its part.” Dunning wrote, “I’d like the people in my district to know I am just like them. I am a husband, a father, a Little League baseball coach with a passion for our community. I’ve watched Clintonville change over the years as the city has grown, and while there are changes that are bound to happen, we need people in the CAC who will help keep Clintonville the gem it is and maintain the reasons we all decided to live here in the first place. I vow to represent the issues that are important to all residents of District 9, boundary-toboundary, for homeowners and renters alike.”

ACCESS ISSUE Continued from page A1 ney’s Office. “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 email to Nivins. DeFourny initially sought to require people wanting to attend and participate in commission meetings to arrive at the starting time of 7 p.m. “That should be your accessibility,” he said at the March 3 session. At the April 7 meeting, DeFourny pronounced the problem resolved. After discussing the matter with City Attorney Richard C. Pfeiffer Jr., DeFourny said that a sign advising people arriving late to knock loudly on library doors to gain admittance to area commission meetings was the answer. Such a sign runs contrary to the library’s policy for use of meeting rooms. “After-hour meetings may be scheduled in most branches, however all meetings must be scheduled to begin at least one half hour before closing time, and all attendees must be secured in the meeting room by the time the library closes for business,” the policy states. “The meeting room usage policy was shared with the commission by D Searcy (District 9 representative and DeFourny’s predecessor as the chair) several months ago and was shared with (secretary) Jennifer Kangas two weeks ago,” Whetstone Branch manager Greg Denby wrote in an email last week. “Quite frankly, I was unaware of that until the whole issue of access had been raised,” Searcy said last week. Although he was on vacation, Denby took the time to try to make the library’s position known. “The policy is clear: people are not to be allowed admittance after 9,” the branch manager wrote. “This is a safety and security issue and is consistent throughout all locations of the library system. I’ve discussed the implementation of this policy with Mr. DeFourny as well as Ms. Searcy and Ms. Kangas and have been flexible with the meeting needs of the CAC. However, as I communicate to Ms. Kangas, it is unacceptable to the library for the CAC to post a public sign indicating that people will be admitted to the building after closing at 9 … The Whetstone staff does not wish to sever ties with the CAC. If the CAC can determine a way to comply with the library’s policy, they will be allowed to use the room. The Whetstone Branch has a long-established history of support for and cooperation with the CAC and we are committed to continue that. It is necessary, however, for us to be consistent in implementing the meeting room policy that all groups using library system meeting rooms are expected to comply

wexner center INTERNATIONAL

with. I communicated to Ms. Kangas that the CAC could meet at Whetstone in May and June so that they could have sufficient time to locate a new meeting place.” Denby also addressed the issue in an April 26 email to Searcy: “I’m not sure how much recent information you’ve received about the meeting room issue. You’re the person who originally set up the reservation and so, technically, you are the person responsible for any policy violations or damage resulting from letting people in after closing. “I met with Jennifer Kangas at her request to discuss access. I told her that letting anyone in after 9 violates the policy and could result in the commission losing the ability to use the room. I also told her that, because there haven’t been any problems in the over 20 years the commission has met at the library, if the group follows the same procedures that have been in place in the past, I wouldn’t foresee a problem in the future. Later that week, ThisWeek published the article quoting John DeFourny saying that they would be posting a sign in the door in public view indicating that people will be allowed in after 9 if they knock. I sent a message to Jennifer stating that posting such a sign would be unacceptable to the library and would represent a clear violation of the policy. She responded that she thought she had told me about the sign during our meeting. I suggested she call me if she wanted to discuss it but did not hear back from her before I began a twoweek vacation … One of my staff found the sign intended for the door that states that admittance will be allowed. I now have it in my office. “At my request, my supervisor met with the deputy director of the library to discuss the no-admittance policy and whether we could make exceptions. The decision was that we could not. I sent a message to Jennifer … informing her that the commission could meet at Whetstone in May and in June but would have to find a different meeting location before July. Since this issue came up, I’ve done everything I can to preserve the commission’s ability to meet at the library. “I have no more flexibility because an administrative decision has been made on this. If we allow violation of this policy at Whetstone then we have to allow it at any location by any other group that requests it. That really is not in the best interests of the library system.” Subsequently, Denby wrote in a May 1 email, that Kangas had met with his supervisor to resolve the issue. “Ms. Kangas indicated that the CAC will be starting their meetings earlier so that they can be finished before the library closes at 9,” Denby indicated. “That will comply with our policy and so they will continue to meet at the library. I don’t know the spe-

cific time they have decided on to start the meetings.” Kangas promised to deliver a “full report” on her research into the open-meetings issue at the May meeting this evening (May 5) at 7 p.m. “It would be premature at this point for me to say what the commission is going to do,” Kangas said on Monday. “I am confident that we will be able to get this resolved.” DeFourny, like Denby, chose to respond to the resurrection of the access issue via email. “Mr. Denby’s email states there is no issue as long as the CAC complies with the library’s policy,” DeFourny wrote, noting that the April meeting adjourned at 8:52 p.m. “Furthermore, Mr. Denby did not email me or contact me to the effect there was a continuing issue,” DeFourny continued. “No one to my knowledge has even been denied access to a CAC meeting I have attended and I began attending in 1980. I might point out that there was never an unresolved use issue with Mr. Denby’s predecessors, either. “This Community Meeting Room was specifically designed in the mid-1980s for the CAC meetings by providing different lockable doors for the library and the Community Meeting Room. Based upon having that meeting room access for these commission meetings for the community, the CAC supported the merging of the Clintonville and Beechwold libraries into one branch at Whetstone. This is only one of the numerous ways the commission has worked with and supported the library in its efforts throughout the years. It continues to be a good working relationship.” The commission chairman went on to note that secretary Kangas has been asked to “investigate several solutions to confirm compliance with the Open Meetings Act and report back,” but had not yet had an opportunity to do so. “The CAC looks forward to a long and pleasant continued relationship with the Library and the use of the meeting room,” DeFourny wrote in conclusion. “We’re going to continue to work very hard to play by the rules.” For his part, Advani, who got the whole ball of wax rolling, issued the following statement: “When I brought up the public access issue months ago, my intention was to prevent ill will from the community. I could see the commission heading down the dark road of secret and non-public meetings and obtaining the distrust of area residents. I wanted this issue addressed and taken care of before it had an opportunity to compromise any decisions made by the CAC. My intentions were of genuine concern and were not to cause further controversy regarding the manner in which chairman DeFourny chooses to hold meetings. “I hope that this situation does not damage the relationship between the CML and the CAC.”

Commentary & opinion Letter

Rail quiet zone proposal would ‘close’ intersection To the editor: Recently Joe Dunning has misrepresented my position on railroad quiet zones. Mr. Dunning states that I oppose railroad quiet zones when in fact the exact opposite is true. I support railroad quiet zones and publicly stated my support at the March Clintonville Area Commission meeting. What I did not support was the motion before the Clintonville Area Commission to ask the City of Columbus to install a type of quiet zone that would require blocking access to businesses near the Weber Road and Lincoln Avenue crossings. Commissioner Jim Blazer’s proposed solution, one requiring bollards to be installed for 100 feet on either side of the tracks, would have extended into the middle of the intersection of Indianola and Lincoln. Commissioner Folmar recommended against this proposed solution based upon his own measurements at the crossings. He further stated that he felt the commission had failed to thoroughly investigate the option, as well any others that may be available. I concurred with commissioner Folmar. Obviously, the Clintonville Area Commission needs to perform due diligence on the

issue prior to making any recommendation to city officials. Unfortunately, no residents or businesses in District 9 were consulted prior to Blazer bringing his recommendation forward. While residents in our area may not appreciate the train horns, I am confident that they are not willing to close the intersection at Lincoln and Indianola that would require them to drive to Route 161 or Morse to cross the tracks.

It has been my experience that recommendations from the CAC to the city of Columbus are most likely to be enacted if they have been properly and thoroughly vetted with the public and are specific and reasonable. The CAC devalues its recommendations when it fails to meet these criteria.

‘Green’ honor would be icing on the cupcake Continued from page A1 opening the bakery six years ago this month — namely, to sell sweet treats that are dairy- and egg-free and to have as modest an impact on the planet as possible. At first, it wasn’t all that easy being “green.” Now it’s easier, but more expensive, Scheinbach said. The availability of compostable, biodegradable and recyclable materials has increased, but they do add to the cost of doing business, she said. It’s a cost Scheinbach said she’s willing to bear. “You’re paying now or paying later, like globally,” she said last week. “I feel willing as a business to pay that cost so my children and the community at large don’t have to later.” Paying that cost paid off in September 2009 when Baking Management magazine presented Pattycake Bakery with an “Innovation Award” for the packaging used for the treats sold at the store

and other outlets. “For us, that was huge,” Scheinbach said last week. “I feel really proud of it.” The Clintonville bakery is now in the running for another environmental honor, a 2011 Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio Emerald Award. Pattycake Bakery was nominated in the small business category by marketing director Sarah Bryant. “The idea of ‘waste’ is almost foreign to Pattycake Bakery,” Bryant wrote. “Strong recycling and composting efforts result in no more than one household container of trash per week. Other ‘green’initiatives include the reuse of cardboard beer boxes to pack wholesale orders, the use all-natural glue for attaching company labels (printed with soy ink on 100-percent recycled paper) and the delivery of all central city orders via bike. In addition, most of the staff arrives to work on foot, by bus or by bike. Internally, Pattycake uses entirely ‘green’cleaning products, compact fluorescent lighting and compostable

cups, plates and bags that dissolve within 90 days. The bakery was one of the first businesses approved as a city of Columbus Green Spot.” Scheinbach, who termed the other nominees in the category “awesome,” said the winner of the honor won’t be known until the SWACO Emerald Awards luncheon on Tuesday, May 17, at Ohio State University’s Ohio Union. “I’m a sweets person,” Scheinbach said of what led her to create Pattycake Bakery. “I’ve been baking since I was a kid. When you make it yourself, it tastes better.” What would become Pattycake was launched in the Tibet Road kitchen of Scheinbach’s mother shortly after Scheinbach graduated from college with a degree in sociology. She was planning to pursue a Ph.D. in order to teach and do research, but had a new baby and a 4-year-old at the time and didn’t want to leave them, so she turned to baking to bring in some money.

TES A B E R UTILITAYVAILABLE* NOW

After about eight months, Scheinbach said, she began to see the need to expand. “There’s only so much you can do in a home oven,” she said. “I just could not keep up. It was either quit or move out of the house. “It just seemed like this was working, why not keep trying?” When a deli and carryout opened on North High Street in a former hairdresser’s shop, Scheinbach said that she gave it six months. “That’s going to be my space,” she recalls telling herself. When, as she had predicted, the business failed, Pattycake Bakery moved in. “It just was right from the beginning,” she said. For Scheinbach, the goal in running Pattycake Bakery, aside from turning a profit and taking care of the 13 or so employees, is to have the “smallest carbon footprint you can get.” “Any time we have extra money, I’m thinking about how can we ‘green’ things,” Scheinbach said.

Signatures supporting turn lane given to city Representatives from numerous Clintonville community organizations met with city officials late last month to present more than 950 signed letters of support for the planned North High Street and North Broadway intersection improvement project, the nonprofit Safer Streets for All announced last week. The project includes the controversial left-turn lane, which Mayor Michael B. Coleman put on hold Nov. 8 following a split vote Oct. 26 by members of the Clintonville Area Commission overturning their previous backing of the planned improvements. “I continue to hope we can address the challenges of this intersection,” Coleman wrote to Development Director Boyce Safford III and Mark Kelsey, director of public services. “But for now, I ask that you await further guidance from the community so that we can determine the true will of this neighborhood’s residents.” The project is also the subject

of a lawsuit filed Nov. 10 by the North Broadway Street Association over the issue of the right of way that would be needed to construct the turn lane at the busy intersection. “Despite freezing temperatures and the demands of a busy holiday season, the signatures were gathered during a four-week period at the end of 2010,” according to the Safer Streets for All announcement. “Clintonville residents took the time to fervently voice their support for the city’s plan, and to voice their discontent with the many delays that have hampered this necessary project.” “The safety of our streets affects the quality of life for every child, every family and every business in our community,” Shaune M. Skinner of Safer Streets for All said in a statement. “This intersection is failing and it is unsafe. It is time to implement this practical solution to make our streets and intersections safer for everyone.” “For more than 35 years, home-

owners and business owners have asked their community leaders and the city to address the traffic and safety problems at and around this intersection, but only in 2009 did all parties have the opportunity to meet and discuss the ramifications, at 18 public meetings,” the announcement added. In August of that year, a split vote of the CAC recommended the improvements to the North High and North Broadway intersection. “Each commissioner voted for some form of a change to the intersection, whether widening it at the mouth of the east leg to align it with the portion on the west side of High Street, or whether there was a desire to explore the expense and land issues of a rotary/roundabout in an older urban area,” the Safer Streets release continued. City officials “decided that funds already allocated to this project would be best spent on changing the width of the single leg of the intersection, both to align it with the west side of the intersection,

and to allow motorists to turn south travelers from throughout Colum- portunity to sign the letter may do onto High Street.” bus.” so Safer Streets for All’s website, “Unfortunately, at the end of Those who have not had an op- http://www.saferstreetsforall.com. 2010, the project was put on hold, but that did not discourage more than 950 residents of Clintonville from demonstrating their continuing support for this crucial project,” the announcement said. “The safety of our streets is a (ARLINGTON) key part of the health and vibrancy of our neighborhood,” Gary Weaver, chairman of the board of the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce was quoted as saying. “We urge the city to move forward with this safe and sustainable solution for the whole community.” “The turn lane and related improvements are good for drivers, for residents, and for businesses in Over 45 Authentic Chinese Items, the community,” the announceCarnations for Moms ment concluded. “We have heard (while supplies last) the voice of Clintonville speak.

Graffiti: Problem in need of a community solution Continued from page A1 being notified by code enforcement officials. The missive also calls for mandatory sentencing for repeat offenders. City law addresses only vacant structures when it comes to requiring the removal of graffiti, code enforcement administrator Dana Rose said. The code is silent when it comes to occupied structures, he added. “I think everybody recognizes that all the big cities across the country do have a problem with graffiti,” Rose said in his opening remarks. He reported on research he had conducted into the practices of other cities. In Cincinnati, he said, officials require only the signature of a property owner in order to remove graffiti at no charge to them. Indianapolis does not have anything in its ordinances, but does have a city-county task force that eradicates graffiti for free. St. Louis officials issue notices to the owners of properties marred by graffiti, according to Rose. If it’s not removed within a specified time, it’s done so by the city and reimbursement is sought. Hilliard, like Cincinnati, will remove graffiti free with a signed waiver from the property owner, he said. In cases where the owner refused to cooperate, he added, the graffiti is removed and the cost passed along to the owner. City Attorney Richard C. Pfeiffer Jr. told council members at the hearing that those caught tagging can be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and six months in jail, along with a minimum of 100 hours of community service. City code does not contain provisions for more severe punishments in the case of repeat offenders, but Pfeiffer, a one-time Environmental Court judge, said this can be taken into account when meting out punishment. “I think they’re pretty good,” Pfeiffer said of existing graffiti ordinances, which were last updated in 1995. The problem, he added, is getting sufficient evidence to prosecute and convict taggers. Since 2008, he said, 56 individuals have been convicted of violating the city’s graffiti law. Pfeiffer said it was his practice as Environmental Court judge and remains the practice of his successor, Harland H. Hale, to sentence first-time offenders to 10 days in jail.

Officer Scott Clinger, the community liaison for a large portion of the Northland area, said if the 30-day requirement is good enough for vacant properties, it ought to be good enough for occupied ones. “Our hands are tied when it

comes to holding responsible the commercial building owner,” he said. Klein asked him how difficult it is to arrest graffiti vandals. “We basically have to catch them red-handed,” Clinger replied. “Does it spread?” Klein asked.

“Is it more wildfire, or is it moss?” “It multiplies and then it goes from one building to another,” Clinger said. He added that people who live in areas where graffiti tagging remains in place tell him they simply do not feel safe.

Event Workshop to help local nonprofits Clintonville-based Community Shares of Mid Ohio and Fulcrum Creatives, a local marketing and design firm, are partnering to provide the Columbus nonprofit community with a one-day workshop conference. Called “Cause Collaborative,” the event will be held Friday, May 13, from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Wild Goose Creative, 2491 Summit St. “The two joined forces because of their passion for community and giving back,” according to Community Shares spokesman Ryan Kovalaske. Community Shares currently works with 69 nonprofits in central Ohio through workplace giving campaigns and as part of its mission provides funding, capacity building and support. Fulcrum Creatives specializes in creating, elevating, and sustaining brands for organizations that positively impact their communities, including a variety of local and national businesses and

nonprofits. “We were excited when Fulcrum Creatives’ approached us about collaborating on an event,” Melissa Magers, executive director of Community Shares of Mid Ohio, said in a statement. “They wanted to support small and medium nonprofits by facilitating a forum for them to share valuable information with their communities.” Cause Collaborative is intended to bring together experts and peers working at or with nonprofits in Columbus to share advice. The event includes a light breakfast, three guided question and answer sessions with Columbus nonprofit experts and peers, lunch by Freshbox Catering, a networking cocktail hour and a workbook for note taking. The panel topics were selected by surveying several members of the nonprofit community to discover which panels they would be interested in attending. Topics include: • Building and maintaining brand. • Non-traditional fundraising.

• The hazards of relying too heavily on volunteers. “Since its inception we’ve strived to make to make this a very community-focused event,” Fulcrum Creatives principal Liz Samuelson was quoted as saying. “We could have guessed what the nonprofit community would have wanted to hear at a panel discussion; however, we wanted to make sure the discussions and shared resources are what the community wanted and was seeking.” Panelists include speakers from nonprofits throughout Columbus and central Ohio who represent the wide diversity of the nonprofit community. A few sharing their knowledge and experience are Local Matters, Capital Area Humane Society, COSI, Godman Guild and the Greater Columbus Arts Council. Tickets for Cause Collaborative are $30, which goes to cover event costs. Additional information, a complete list of speakers and ticket purchasing is available at http://causecollaborative.com.

Whetstone Roundup

Football team focusing on weight room By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Augusta Kargbo of Whetstone runs the first leg of the sprint medley relay during the Braves Invitational on April 27 at home. The Braves will compete in the City League meet Monday, May 9, and Wednesday, May 11, at Mifflin.

During an 0-5 start that derailed the Whetstone High School football team’s hopes of having a winning season last fall, one thing that was clear to coach Jim Worden was that his players “got pushed around a little bit.” With that in mind, getting stronger in the weight room — as well as staying focused in the classroom — have been

the Braves’ biggest offseason focuses. “We always have to move people around to different positions, and there’s always going to be some openings,” Worden said. “The main thing was that we really needed to be stronger. We have some key players who really had a great winter and some of them are having a great spring.” Juniors Kevin Bennett (LB), Skyler See BRAVES, page B3

Watterson Roundup

Eagles’ Diaz signs to play tennis at Ohio State By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Watterson High School senior Chris Diaz seriously considered making a verbal commitment to play men’s tennis at Brown University, not only because his father, Philip Sr., played there, but also because he enjoyed his visit to the school’s campus in Providence, R.I., in January. But after agonizing over the decision for two months, Chris Diaz followed his heart and made a verbal commitment to Ohio State coach Ty Tucker. He signed a letter of intent in April. “I mainly looked at Ohio State and Brown and it was a hard decision because both schools have a lot of good things going for them,” Diaz said. “My dad really wanted me to go to Brown and I really liked it there, because it’s a great school. But Ohio State has the total package. It’s a great school and they have a great tennis program. I’ve always thought it would be awesome to play a sport at Ohio State, and I’m excited to get the chance to do that.” Diaz and his brother, Philip Jr., a 2009 graduate, won the Division I state

doubles title in 2008 and finished second at state in doubles in 2009. The Diaz brothers earned a 33-2 record playing doubles together in high school. Last year, Chris Diaz won the Division II state singles title, beating defending champion Alex Fritz of Cincinnati Country Day 6-3, 6-2 in the final. Entering this week, Diaz had a 701 career record in high school singles matches and had won a program-record 70 consecutive singles matches. “Chris is the best player I’ve ever coached and Ohio State is the biggest school we’ve ever had anyone from our team sign with,” coach Barb Woods said. “I believe he’s going to play for Ohio State. He’s small for a college player, but I don’t think his size is going to make a difference because of his skill level.” Diaz is hoping he can cap his high school career with another Division II state singles title before trying to make an impact for Ohio State’s program. On May 1, Ohio State beat Minnesota 4-0 to improve to 30-2 overall and 13-0 in Big Ten matches and capture its sixth consecutive Big Ten tournament title.

help Ohio State win the Big Ten and do well in the national tournament, but I also want to keep a good balance between my schoolwork and tennis, so I can be successful on and off the court.” •Watterson senior Alexandra Meyers signed a letter of intent to play women’s golf at Loyola University Chicago in April, after also considering Ohio State and Wittenberg. Meyers helped the Eagles qualify for the Division I state tournament in each of her four varsity seasons. As a freshman, Meyers shot a 182 to place 48th at state, before shooting a 164 to place 16th at state the following year. Meyers shot an 82 to place 24th in the one-day state tournament as a junior and a 165 to finish 34th in 2010. By Adam Cairns/ThisWeek “It was a hard decision, but Loyola was the best fit for me,” Meyers said. Watterson’s Reed Abahazie celebrates with teammate Wyatt Applegate (24) “Wittenberg recruited me a lot, but it after scoring a goal during the host Eagles’ 17-5 victory over Marysville on was too small of a school for me. Ohio April 30. State’s a big school, but there was a chance I might not play much there. The Buckeyes, who also won their pionships. “I’m going to work hard to get I’ve gone to Chicago for fun about five fifth consecutive Big Ten regular-season title earlier this year, are ranked stronger and better, so I can do my best times in the past and the campus is third in the country and have earned for Ohio State,” said Diaz, who has a See EAGLES, page B3 an automatic berth to the NCAA cham- 3.75 grade-point average. “I want to

City-North teams have questions to answer From staff reports Below are capsule looks at City League-North Division football teams. To read full offseason stories, including comments from all coaches, for each team as well as all teams throughout central Ohio over the coming weeks, visit the Spring Football Edition of Friday Night Live at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

Centennial •Coach: Pat Sergio, 25th season •2010 record: 4-6 overall, 3-4 (tied for fifth) in City-North Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 26th in Division II, Region 7 •Outlook: It took a combination of factors last fall for the Centennial High School football team to finally snap a skid of consecutive losses that spanned more than three seasons. Chances are not many would have predicted that the Stars would go on a three-game winning streak and earn four victories overall after losing their previous 34 games. Helping them find success was the leadership and athleticism provided by seniors Di’Andre Harrison, Wesley Russell and Taylor Wicks, each of whom made first-team all-City LeagueNorth Division. Russell, who started at quarterback and defensive back, also made ThisWeek Super 25 honorable mention. Not to be underscored was that Centennial got an infusion from a group of new assistants under veteran coach Pat Sergio, with Mark Shaffer helping the team find significantly more success moving the ball as offensive coordinator. Among the biggest questions for the Stars coming off a 4-6 season is whether they’ll be able to maintain their offensive surge. After being shut out seven times and totaling just 22 points during the 2009 season, Centennial averaged 16.9 points last season. Joel Waits, who will be a senior next fall, has been groomed as Russell’s heir apparent at quarterback. Junior Keenen Smith, who made first-team allCity at defensive back last fall and was one of the team’s top receivers, gives Centennial a player to build around on defense.

been pleased with his team’s offseason approach after earning a share of the City-North title last fall. “From the guys who have been (in the weight room), we want to see if everyone reaches their weight goals every month,” Ward said. “If their goal is to lift 200 pounds in January, then we want them to go 210 in February and 220 in March. We give out awards for those guys who reach their goals.” Losses like the one the Cougars had against Northland (12-7) and against non-league opponents Watterson (306) and St. Charles (22-12) have Ward and his staff focusing on improving offensively. Beechcroft will be losing honorable mention all-district quarterback Sheldon Akin, first-team all-district wide receiver Austin Davenport and special mention all-district running back Dai’Ron Glover to graduation. Sophomore Maurice Hale, however, saw significant action at quarterback last year and even got some playing time at the position as a freshman. Junior Shaquille Minnifield was the second-leading rusher with 649 yards and also should return to the offense. Beechcroft is expected to return three offensive linemen who were regulars last year, while sophomore Khaleed Franklin and freshman Adonis Davis each started at linebacker last fall and are expected to return.

Brookhaven

•Coach: Trevor White, first season •2010 record: 5-5 overall, 5-2 (third) in City-North Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 18th in Division II, Region 7 •Outlook: The Bearcats are looking to bounce back from their first nonwinning season since 2001 under Trevor White, who was named coach in early January. The former Brookhaven and Marion-Franklin assistant has replaced Anthony Thornton, who went 24-10 with two playoff berths in three seasons. “Some of our goals (for the offseason) weren’t quite measurable,” White said. “We’re really working right now on increasing our team unity and just getting everybody pulled in the same direction. We’ve done a bench-pressing competition and have tried to get the kids working together. We’ve Beechcroft preached all winter and spring that •Coach: Bruce Ward, third season we’ll only go as far as our seniors can •2010 record: 7-3 overall, 6-1 (tied take us.” for first) in City-North Division The Bearcats began last season by •Final 2010 computer ranking: losing each of their three non-league 13th in Division II, Region 7 games but bounced back to beat North•Outlook: Coach Bruce Ward has land 3-0 on Sept. 17.

Last season represented a changing of the guard in the City League-North Division, as the Brookhaven High School football team had its three-year run of winning the league title snapped. Beechcroft and Northland shared the title at 6-1, and the Vikings advanced to the postseason for the first time. Among the things we’ll look at in this installment of the Friday Night Live: Spring Edition is what Northland is doing to build on its breakthrough season last fall. Brookhaven finished third in the City-North last year at 5-2, with Whetstone (4-3), Centennial (3-4), Mifflin (3-4), Columbus East (16) and Linden-McKinley (0-7) rounding out the standings. Will it be another tight battle among Beechcroft, Brookhaven and Northland for league supremacy? Or will one of the conference’s other teams step forward next fall? Centennial and Mifflin each showed significant improvement last year, while East and Linden still are attempting to build programs despite having low numbers. Brookhaven and East each hired a new coach during the offseason. To read full offseason stories for each team as well as any throughout central Ohio over the coming weeks, go to Friday Night Live at ThisWeekSPORTS.com. Next week: City League-South Division

One of the positives of last season was that several sophomores and juniors saw significant action, including junior Jesse Curry on the offensive and defensive lines. With junior Tajuan Green expected to return at quarterback after throwing for 620 yards and making honorable mention all-district last fall, White said his team will spend some of the offseason figuring out the best way to utilize his talents.

Columbus East

nale over Linden-McKinley. Junior Thomas Woodruff should be back at quarterback after making honorable mention all-City last year, and sophomore wide receiver Enous McGee also should return to lead a team that featured only three seniors a year ago. Carter played linebacker for the University of Cincinnati and served as a captain as a senior in 2001. He then played middle linebacker for five seasons for the Fort Wayne Freedom of the National Indoor Football League and was the team’s all-time leading tackler. The Tigers went 35-95 in 13 seasons under former coach Mike White, who resigned after last season. Their only winning season came in 1999 when they went 8-3 and made the Division II playoffs. East’s only other non-losing seasons under White came in 2006 and ’08 when it went 5-5.

Linden-McKinley •Coach: Aaron Owens, third season •2010 record: 1-9 overall, 0-7 (eighth) in City-North Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 26th in Division III, Region 10 •Outlook: After back-to-back threewin seasons, Linden-McKinley earned its only victory last fall in Week 2 by beating Westland 20-16. Not including their 18-14 loss to East, the Panthers allowed 49.5 points per game on the way to an 0-7 record in the City-North. One of the positives that came from last season was the experience gained by players such as juniors Chajaz Davis and Charles Jones Jr. Davis was quarterback last fall and made first-team all-City on defense. Jones was one of the team’s running backs and made second-team all-league on defense. Another plus is that Linden should return one of its biggest players from last year in junior Quin’Yone McLaurin (6-foot-1, 302), an honorable mention all-City selection who started on the offensive line. Aaron Owens is entering his third season as coach and will try to lead Linden to its first winning season since 2001 when it went 6-4. The Panthers have gone 22-67 since that season.

•Coach: Lewis Carter, first season •2010 record: 1-9 overall, 1-7 (seventh) in City-North Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 25th in Division III, Region 10 •Outlook: East took a step back last season, finishing 1-9 to mark its worst record since going a combined a 445 from 2000-04, including 0-10 in 2004. During the offseason, however, forMifflin mer Mifflin and Northland assistant Lewis Carter took over as coach. •Coach: Gregg Miller, second season Carter, who was the linebackers •2010 record: 5-5 overall, 3-4 (tied coach last year when Northland made for fifth) in City-North Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: the Division I playoffs, will attempt to help East build momentum from the 22nd in Division II, Region 7 •Outlook: Mifflin showed signifi18-14 victory it posted in its season fi-

cant improvement a year ago. In particular, the Punchers were much more effective offensively as they scored in double figures in all of their games on the way to finishing 5-5. With junior running back Louis Baker and sophomore wide receiver Kamaran Green among those expected back, Mifflin again should have one of the better offensive units in the CityNorth. Green made first-team all-City and Baker was second-team all-league on defense. Junior defensive back Troy Robinson, who made first-team all-district as a sophomore but was rarely thrown against last year, gives the Punchers an experienced player back on defense. Gregg Miller, who formerly coached Brookhaven to 10 City titles in 17 seasons, helped the Punchers improve from 2-8 in 2009. Mifflin endured consecutive losing seasons from 2007-09 after going 5-5 in 2006. The last time the Punchers finished above .500 was in 2005 when they went 6-4.

Northland •Coach: Kevin Tooson, ninth season •2010 record: 8-3 overall, 6-1 (tied for first) in City-North Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: seventh in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: Coming off a season in which they won a share of their first City title since 1996, the Vikings already have found reason to celebrate during the offseason. In one of the weight room sessions in January, coach Kevin Tooson counted 54 athletes participating. “This January was the most kids we’ve had in the weight room nonsummer,” said Tooson, who will be entering his ninth season next fall. “I took a picture of it with my phone to remember it by.” With a 12-7 win over Beechcroft in their regular-season finale, the Vikings earned a co-championship with the Cougars in the City-North at 6-1. The victory over Beechcroft also secured the first postseason berth for Northland, which lost to Hilliard Davidson 47-6 in a Division I, Region 3 quarterfinal to finish 8-3. Junior Marquan Barnes, who rushed for 404 yards and six touchdowns, should be among the key returnees at running back as well as in the defensive secondary. Junior Tyra’ Harp and sophomore Brandon Williams should give the Vikings a pair of key returning offensive linemen and junior Sam Turay should be back at running back and defensive back.

BRAVES Farley (DL) and Dezwan Polk (DL) are among those whose development in the coming months could be crucial in whether the defense improves next season. Last season, Whetstone gave up an average of 24.2 points and finished 4-6 overall. After the Braves’ slow start, they won four of their final five, including beating Centennial 53-19 in the finale. Whetstone finished fourth at 4-3 in the City League-North Division behind co-champions Northland and Beechcroft (6-1) and Brookhaven (5-2), and ahead of Centennial and Mifflin (3-4), Columbus East (1-6) and Linden-McKinley (0-7). Sophomore two-way lineman Ricky Cantor, junior defensive lineman Kyle Radabaugh and junior defensive back Marvin Draper are others who likely will take on more significant roles next year, according to Worden. Quarterback Joe Saffold and running back Jordan Mitchell led a 13-member senior class and both will play for Urbana next fall. Sophomore Rammi Finnegan began being groomed as the team’s next signal caller late last fall. Whetstone endured its first losing season since 2006 last fall under Worden, who is 1713 in three seasons as coach. Worden also is an assistant track coach with the Braves, while baseball coach Tim Broskie is the defensive line coach. Tom Jones has been an assistant football coach the past few years but is planning to focus on coaching only wrestling next school year. “We’ve got 45 returners from last year and 20 of them that are football-only,” Worden said. “Of the other 25, a lot of them compete in wrestling, baseball, basketball or track. Right now, the next four to five weeks is about academics. We don’t want any surprises during the fourth grading period.” •The boys and girls track and field teams are preparing for the City League championships, which will be held Monday, May 9, and Wednesday, May 11, at Mifflin. Senior Cameron Vines, a firstyear track competitor who made ThisWeek Super 12 honorable mention in boys basketball this winter, could be poised for a big day at the league meet. In addition to leading the 400meter relay that also has included Draper, Mitchell and Saffold, Vines has one of the area’s best times in the 200 (22.6 seconds). At the home Braves Invitational on April 27, Whetstone finished third (62.5 points) behind Eastmoor Academy (99.5) and Brookhaven (73). Senior Evan Schwartz won the 1,600 (4:44.2). The 400 relay (43.0) and distance relay (11:39.8) also were first, while the 1,600 relay was second (3:34.3). Others who could have an impact at the league meet include Jesse Volk in the high jump and in sprints, Alexander Singer in distance races and Austyn Brown in the discus. “We’ve got work still to do, but the team is coming around and we’re just getting healthy,” coach Joe Monda said. “We’re hoping to get things together for the City. Our first-year runner, Cameron Vines, has been real solid for us and Evan Schwartz has been looking good. The rest

Continued from page B1 only 10 minutes away from the city. The campus is really pretty and in early February I got to spend time with the team, and I just fell in love with the school.” Under the guidance of coach Jennifer Feldott Hall, Loyola finished third (1,000) in the seven-team Horizon League championships on April 24 behind Butler (975) and Detroit (983). Meyers, who has a 3.6 gradepoint average, plans to major in accounting. “I want to qualify for as many tournaments as I can as a freshman and have a great college experience,” Meyers said. •Watterson senior Olivia Ott signed a letter of intent in April to play women’s tennis at Loyola-Maryland. “I’m so thankful that I can continue playing tennis at the school that was my first choice to begin with,” Ott said. “The most appealing part was the family atmosphere within the team and the whole student body. I hope to have a good four years there and to have a successful tennis career there.” In 2010, Ott and freshman Courtney Brown qualified for the Division I state tournament in doubles. They lost to Toledo Central Catholic’s Morgan Delp and Sydney Delp 5-7, 6-4, 6-0 in the first round. Two years earlier, Ott and Gabriela Collazo qualified for the state tournament in doubles and lost in the first round. “Olivia’s the ultimate team player and leader,” Watterson coach Rebecca Hancart said. “Even though she was one of our best players, she opted to play doubles because she knew that’s where we needed the

Chefs to converge on Audubon Center for fourth Taste event Kevin Caskey can’t wait to show off his chops next week at the fourth annual Taste of Dine Originals. The chef and owner of Skillet in Schumacher Place will serve raspberry panna cotta with rhubarb and lemon verbena, along with some other creations. Caskey is among 50 chefs participating in the event, to be held May 12 at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, 505 W. Whittier St. He said he hasn’t participated for two years and is eager to get back. “It’s good exposure for our group as a whole,” he said. “We’re all independently owned restaurants, and we’re a diverse group. And in one night you can taste not only the food offerings but understand the concept and thoughts that went into the development of the restaurants that make up our group.” The gala will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased at www.dineoriginalscolumbus.com. Tickets might be available on the day of the event and may be purchased at the door. Proceeds benefit Dine Originals Columbus and the Buckeye Ranch, which provides mental-health treatment and alcohol and drug services for children with behavioral or psychological and substanceabuse disorders. “We’re blessed to be part of the event for four years,” said Michelle Aro, development coordinator at the Buckeye Ranch. “The partnership we’ve built with the Columbus Dine Originals group has been fantastic. They’ve been a wonderful group to work with.” The event has been moved from the Smith Bros’ Hardware Co. building downtown because it simply outgrew the space, said Katharine Moore, executive director of the local chapter of Dine Originals.

MOTHER’S DAY

The Audubon Center, on the Whittier Peninsula, provides a modern backdrop with attractive surroundings, she said. “We thought it really complemented our messaging and mission because they are green and our members have that commonality,” Moore said. “It’s such a beautiful oasis in downtown Columbus that people don’t know about. So it’s fun for us to introduce that venue to a whole new crowd. In addition to food, more than 30 vineyards will be represented, as well as local breweries and micro distilleries. One of those is Watershed Distillery, just outside Grandview Heights. “We are excited to be a part of it,” Greg Lehman, co-founder of the company, said of the celebration. “I think it’s a good way for us to be involved locally.” A auction will feature cooking lessons, private dinners, special events, art and rare bottles of wine. Moore said chefs look forward to showing off their talents and mixing with the crowd. “They have fun riffing off each other,” she said. “They’re very competitive on what they put out. But they’re there to talk to their customers in a way that they just don’t have the opportunity to on a busy Saturday night.”

Chicken and potatoes will be the obvious staple of Chix & Fries, a new enterprise owned by Jim Mandas, formerly of the Boulevard Grille in recently torn-down City Center Mall, and a silent partner. They will tear down an existing BP gas station to make way for the new 2,000-square-foot building at 3255 Silver Drive, where North Broadway and Interstate 71 meet near Clintonville. Chix & Fries will offer grilled chicken tenders, fried boneless tenders and chicken wings and french fries, plus four or five sauces and sandwiches. The restaurant should open in the fall, Mandas said. He said the place is bringing back the Italian herbcrusted chicken sandwich that was popular at the Boulevard Grille and the Columbus Arts Festival. The food at the new restaurant will be competitively priced, he said.
