Inter-Civic Exchange
New NCC group proposed for trade of ideas By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
After stepping down as treasurer of the Northland Community Council in April 2010, Salem Area Civic Association member Brenda Baker expressed some concerns at the following monthly meeting.
“I don’t think that NCC is quite fully meeting our member expectations,” she said. Baker noted that meetings were increasingly being given over to presentations from outside groups and not enough time was devoted to member organizations sharing information about building community and resolving neigh-
borhood issues. Brandon L. Boos is now the Salem Area Civic Association representative to the community council. He also recently consented to head the new community outreach and relations committee. One of his first acts has been to create a subcommittee, the Inter-Civic Ex-
change. “It is part of the council’s strategic ‘in-reach’ efforts that are designed to support Columbus’ Northland community from the ground up by enabling and strengthening its many civic associations and neighborhood councils,” Boos wrote in announcing formation of the Exchange.

Chris Fleece grew up in Grove City and has since lived all over central Ohio, including in Gahanna, Pataskala and Dublin. Now 37, the Rev. Chris Fleece had not previously called the Northland area home until he became associate pastor at the Cooke Road Church of the Nazarene in March 2010. What struck him about his new surroundings, Fleece said last week, was the amazing amount of cultural diversity on display, compared with the other areas where he had resided. Diversity and divisiveness can sometimes go hand in hand, he said. “People can be afraid of one another just because of their cultural background or what they look like,” Fleece said. He is hoping to bridge those differences with a two-day conference, June 3-4 called “Honoring Bridges.” The gathering, which is intended to help dispel that fear of “otherness,” will be held in the sanctuary of the church, 1389 E. Cooke Road. It has the blessing of the church’s lead pastor, the Rev. West Frederick, according to Fleece. The first day, the conference will run from 7 to 9 p.m. and feature guest speaker Nathan Emmelhainz, who is preparing to depart for Pakistan on an assignment as a relief and development worker.

Guest speaker to discuss overcoming his ‘anti-Muslim bias’ ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The guest speaker for the opening night of the “Honoring Bridges” conference at Cooke Road Church of the Nazarene will be Columbus native Nathan Emmelhainz. Now a resident of Lawrenceville, Ga., Emmelhainz will address the gathering of Northland residents representing the various cultural groups in the area on Friday, June 3, beginning at 7 p.m.
Emmelhainz, who grew up on the West Side and graduated from West High School, is preparing to return this fall or early in 2012 to Pakistan on behalf of Millennium Relief and Development Services. The Houston-based charity, according to its website, “has served the poor in various parts of the world for over a decade.” A self-described devout Christian, Emmelhainz said he and his wife, Heather, made their first visit to Pakistan after he had a personal revelation about an “antiMuslim bias” he had developed in the wake of 9-11
and other terrorist attacks. “I didn’t even realize it was entirely there until somebody confronted me … about how Jesus said to treat enemies, and I didn’t want to treat them well,” Emmelhainz said. The first trip to Pakistan was a two-week vacation the couple took at the invitation of Millennium Relief and Development. “What I discovered was that all these Muslims that See GUEST SPEAKER, page A4
Joint business gathering brought ‘neighbors’ together Chuck Wolfe wore two figurative hats last week. As executive director of the Cat Welfare Association, he welcomed members of the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce to an event that he had helped put on as vice president of the Northland Area Business Association. NABA “Business After Hours” events are normally held at the establishments
of members. They’re intended to give attendees a greater understanding of the business where the gathering is held and to provide networking opportunities. With Wolfe having a foot both in Northland, where he lives, and Clintonville, where he works, it was inevitable that the two different business communities would eventually meet. The North YMCA was also a co-sponsor of the second Business After Hours of the year. About 30 people, pretty much equal-
ly divided between Northland and Clintonville business owners and managers, attended the event at Cat Welfare Association on Wetmore Road. Among those on hand, but not going into the shelter part of the operation due to being allergic to cats, was Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce president Jenny Smith. “I think it’s always good to have combined chamber events,” Smith said. “It makes your contacts a little fresh, gives our businesses opportunities to develop

By KEVIN PARKS Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman last week announced the first round of “seed” grants to community groups for projects and undertakings aimed at preventing violence in neighborhoods. Of the 26 applicants receiving more than $21,000, one is from the Clintonville area and two are Northland Community Council civic association members. The grant requests, out of a total of 56 received, were decided upon by the 25 members of the Coalition for a Nonviolent Columbus, which the mayor proposed last summer and formed in late January. He ordered $40,000 to be set aside for funding anti-violence initiatives proposed by citizen groups and organizations, at a maximum of $1,000 each. “We must keep our neighborhoods safe, not only through enforcement, but also through prevention,” Coleman said in announcing the grant recipients. “Through the Coalition for a Nonviolent Columbus, we are reaching out into the grassroots of our neighborhoods to address violence and crime at the street level.” The Strawberry Farms Civic Association and the Scotland Subdivision Block Watch in Forest Park in the Northland area each received the maximum $1,000 grants, as did Wild Goose Creative just south of Clintonville. The latter’s application states that the money is to be used “to purchase paint and supplies for graffiti cleanup,” but as befits a nonprofit organization that provides a venue for local artists of all stripes at the 2491 Summit St. headquarters, what’s planned is much more artistic in scope. It’s intended, according to Wild Goose Creative general manager Elizabeth “Beth” Dekker, to help fund a mural to cover a graffiti-covered wall at the intersection of Summit and Hudson streets. “Our goal for the mural is to create something beautiful out of layers and layers of paint that have already been put on there,” Dekker said. A web page created for the SoHud Community Mural Project, which is what the neighborhood is called, said the group is “going to need a lot of help with this project, both in volunteer hours, in-kind donation and financial support. The mural will be an incredible addition to our neighborhood as it will provide a welcoming gateway into our community.

Inter-Civic Exchange proposed for trade of ideas to determine how often the participants should get together. “The exchange will explore a wide range of topics, including issues related to recruiting, marketing, organizational structure, fundraising, communicating in print and online and community-building,” Boos wrote in the email. “For young associations, this is going to be a chance to learn from their neighbors’ years of experience, and for Northland’s more established groups, this represents an opportunity for innovation. It could also lead to more cooperation between associations on any number of projects and issues. “All NCC members are asked to send a representative to the Inter-Civic Exchange,” he wrote. “Ideally, this person will be some-
one who is familiar with the structure, operations and history of their association and is able to talk about the things it has done and how they turned out. This is one more step toward making Northland’s civic associations and communities even stronger.” “I think it’s a great idea,” NCC president Dave Paul said. “It’s one of the things that certainly we’ve thought over the years that NCC was uniquely positioned to do.” Paul has even gone so far as to create a Facebook page specifically for the Inter-Civic Exchange. “It certainly fits our charter,” he said. “I’m very glad that Brandon is taking that initiative.” Boos was recruited to the community outreach and relations committee chairmanship by Emmanuel V. Remy, vice president of the NCC and president of the
Clinton Estates Civic Association. In response to questions via email, Boos discussed the process by which he came up with the Inter-Civic Exchange concept. “When Emmanuel first approached me about chairing an outreach committee for the NCC, I took a little while to think about what that would mean, for the NCC and for Northland as a whole,” he wrote. “The goal of any NCC outreach would be to better our community and I kept coming back to the idea that one of the best ways for us to do that would be to strengthen Northland’s civic associations. “It might not be traditional outreach, since most of Northland’s civics are NCC members, but I think that it is both appropriate and necessary for the NCC to spend some of its resources reach-
ing out and strengthening these groups that are the genesis of so much good in their communities. “The decision to do that through the Inter-Civic Exchange was based on the understanding that our civics share much more than just a desire to improve their area,” he said. “When you talk to the members of these organizations and go to their meetings, it becomes obvious that most of them are facing the same issues, asking the same questions and fighting the same battles. They’re all reinventing the wheel when it comes to writing bylaws, recruiting, distributing newsletters, building a block-watch or a thousand other things.” Boos pointed out that it is common practice in the business world to look to peers for ideas on what’s working and what’s not when it comes to operations.
“That’s a big part of what this is about: finding the things that work and benchmarking them for others so everyone can be successful. It’s not a new idea, it’s a proven method.” Success for the initiative, he continued, will be measured primarily on what he hears back from participants. “The usual quantitative measures like number of meetings held, number of topics addressed or even the percentage of associations participating won’t mean much if this activity isn’t helping anyone find solutions to their problems,” Boos wrote. “The other thing that I’ll look for is a
bit of a culture change. Right now, it seems like the majority of the joint ventures that we see among the civics are on NCC activities like organizing the July 4 parade. As Northland’s civics share ideas and gain more exposure to each other through the Inter-Civic Exchange, I hope that we’ll see associations partnering-up on localized issues more frequently.” Finally, Boos noted that the Inter-Civic Exchange is only one aspect of his committee’s efforts. The rest will focus on groups and organizations not now part of the Northland Community Council. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

DeSales commencement to be held May 28 St. Francis DeSales High School will celebrate its commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 28, at 10 a.m. The ceremony will be held in the school’s Alumni Stadium, weather permitting. Rain location will be the DeSales gymnasium. A total of 198 seniors will receive their diplomas. The commencement speaker will be Patrick Rossetti, who was principal of St. Francis DeSales High School from 1979 to 2004. “For the first time in school history, members of the class of 1964, the first graduating class, will lead the senior class into Alumni Stadium,” according to DeSales spokeswoman Karen Cofojohn. The school will honor 16 valedictorians, those seniors who have taken bonus-point classes and maintained a 4.1 cumulative grade point average over 15 quarters. The valedictorians and colleges they plan to attend are: • Kimberly Parent, ranked first in the class, Miami University • Mary Wickert, University of Notre Dame • Megan Mulligan, John Car-

“Not to mention, murals have been shown to deter graffiti better than blank walls, and we all know that our area could use a little graffiti-deterrent.” The organization is in the midst of calling on artists from the neighborhood and surrounding area to be possible project participants, Dekker said. Planning for the mural began in April. The hope is to have the design ready by June and the painting get under way in July, although Dekker admitted it might be difficult to stick to that timetable. “We’re trying to take it one step at a time,” she said. The Strawberry Farms Civic Association will use the grant money to purchase a digital camera and some software as well as create a website to address the growing problem of tagging in the community’s park, according to director of public safety Theresa Van Davis. “I’m from Southern California and believe me, if we had stopped the tagging when it started, we wouldn’t have the problem we do today,” Van Davis said. “They didn’t react as quickly as they might have. “We wanted to take back the park for our citizens, all our citizens — young people and their children, older people,” she added. “We wanted it to be a safe place.” The website will be used to post photos of
graffiti that appears in Strawberry Farms Park, informing residents if it’s just children scrawling or, more ominously, the work of gang members, according to Van Davis. The software will enable residents to participate in community conference calls regarding safety issues. The plan is to also enhance Block Watch participation and even organize walking teams to help put a stop to graffiti vandalism, she said. “I was humbled and honored by the consideration they gave to our application, and really encouraged to make this successful,” she said. The $1,000 awarded to the Scotland Civic Association will help pay for two-way radios to facilitate communication among walking and driving patrols, according to coordinator John McCormack. Flashlights and reflective vests will also be obtained with the funding. “And we’re also going to throw one heck of a Block Watch party to give out educational material to not only our community but surrounding communities to see if we can’t get them involved,” McCormack said. The application process was a simple one, he added, and said he’s grateful his group’s request was granted in this initial round. “I was extremely excited,” McCormack said. “The main members of the block watch, the captains, are extremely excited about it. It gives us more resources that we can get out to the community instead of out of our pock-

ets. This is going to help us expand on a wider basis. “I would recommend everyone continue to try until they get the grant, if it’s possible that they can,” he continued. “Don’t get discouraged. Don’t lose faith. Just because you got turned down once doesn’t mean you’ll get turned down again. Keep plugging along and it will be a better city.” Northland Community Council president Dave Paul is among the members appointed by Mayor Coleman to the Coalition for a Nonviolent Columbus. “There was a wide range of proposals, of course, and some were not ultimately selected, but I was impressed at the creativity, generally, of folks,” Paul said. The applications that were turned down this time, or funded for less than the maximum amount, were those seeking support for a oneday event, Paul added. In general, coalition members looked with more favor on proposals that had the potential to create ongoing programs, efforts that could be built upon over time. “I was very pleased that many of the organizations proposed exactly that kind of thing and the majority of those received the full funding,” he said. The second grant filing period runs through May 31. For the complete grant application and final report form, go to http://mayor.columbus.gov/initiatives.aspx?id=40225&menu_id=528.

Facebook posting aids in nabbing alleged graffiti vandal Columbus City Attorney Richard C. Pfeiffer Jr. announced last week that the top target in an initiative to sweep up some of the city’s most-wanted graffiti vandals has been apprehended. Kyle C.J. Lamblez was wanted on a third charge of graffiti vandalism in less than two years, according to Pfeiffer. Lamblez, no age given, was arrested by the Columbus Police Division’s Strategic Response Bureau after a three-week manhunt, the announcement stated. Pfeiffer said the search for Lamblez began during the launch of a new initiative using social media channels to
help apprehend individuals with outstanding arrest warrants. The City Attorney’s Office introduced the “Fugitive of the Week” profile about a month ago on Facebook and Twitter. Lamblez is the third targeted offender brought into custody by the program, according to the announcement. He had been sought for over a year and a half. “We live in a rapidly changing digital environment and we have to be ready to adapt new methods of communication and social interaction into crime fighting tools,” Pfeiffer said in a statement.
With Columbus City Council members Zach Klein and Michelle Mills, along with numerous members of the community, placing added emphasis on the crime of graffiti vandalism, Pfeiffer said he instructed his office to pursue wanted vandals such as Lamblez. Individuals charged with other misdemeanor crimes under Columbus municipal code are also being targeted using the social media initiative. “We want to send a message to these scofflaws: While we may be tracking you down in virtual reality, your criminal acts will have real-world conse-
quences. We will find you and you will go to jail,” Pfeiffer said. Within a matter of months in 2008, Lamblez was arrested twice, once for tagging an animal hospital, and pleaded guilty, the announcement stated. As a condition of his second guilty plea, Lamblez was incarcerated and required to perform 300 hours of community service at the county landfill. “However, before he spent even one hour at the landfill, he was arrested a third time for graffiti (vandalism),” according to Pfeiffer’s statement. “Lamblez failed to appear in court for the lat-
est charge and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.” After information about Lamblez was posted on the City Attorney’s Facebook page April 27, a tip spurred the investigation that also used Twitter and other more obscure social networks. Once Lamblez was initially traced to his place of residence and connected to other known associates, he began eluding the Strategic Response Bureau by going from one safe house to the next, according to City Prosecutor Bill R. Hedrick, who leads the “Fugitive of the Week” initiative on Pfeiffer’s behalf.
Conference seeks to bridge differences by ‘Honoring Bridges’ Continued from page A1 p.m. on Saturday, June 4. A highlight of the second day will be a visit to the different restaurants and stores that cater to Northland residents who came to the United States from many different Latin American and African nations, Fleece said. That will serve to enlighten conference participants — and Fleece is hoping to have as many as 100 people — about diversity in the community. Conference attendees will return to the church to continue discussing ways in which people separated by their backgrounds can still reach across that divide, he said. “It can happen right as it’s going
along,” he said. “That’s our hope.” Although not involved in or familiar with the Honoring Bridges conference, Northland Community Council community outreach and relations committee chairman Brandon L. Boos applauded the spirit of the event. The committee, formed as part of a reorganization of the NCC, in part is intended to reach out to people not currently involved in local civic groups, particularly those of different cultural backgrounds. “Northland really is a great place to live, and it’s not by chance,” Boos wrote in an e-mail. “A lot of credit for that belongs to the civic associations, church groups, businesses and private citizens who have worked so tirelessly to make
and keep it that way. “What we see is the little stuff — new playground equipment, canned-food drives, landscaped highway ramps — but there’s a lot more to it. These groups are cultural leaders, and they set a tone for all of Northland.” Initially, Fleece said he was planning a conference of Northland church leaders to discuss ways of reaching out to the diverse cultures in the region. It was intended to help them “get them out of their safety zone and meet their neighbors,” he said. Two events spurred him to broaden the scope for the gathering. “God really started doing some different things,” Fleece said.
The first event was a “Back to School Bash” at the church in which free backpacks and other supplies were distributed. White, black, Somali and Hispanic people flocked to the church, Fleece recalled. “Sometimes it was hard to talk, but when you’re loving them, they can see your actions and they don’t have to understand your words fully,” he said. One problem: Church officials
innocently made the mistake of including corndogs among the food being served to participants in the school supply giveaway. Muslims are prohibited from eating pork products. The second event, Fleece said, was his attendance at the Northland Nonprofit Summit on May 11 at the Haimerl Center. Among the 60 or so organizations represented were many that aimed to help the different minority popu-
lations in the Northland area. Fleece anticipates making Honoring Bridges an annual event and hopes that it can build some momentum. “I wanted to see what ways we can break down those walls instead of having the fear of being different,” he said immediately after the nonprofit gathering. “I’d like anyone who comes to begin befriending their neighbor,” Fleece said last week.
Guest speaker to talk about overcoming his ‘anti-Muslim bias’ Continued from page A1 I was nervous about, mostly out of ignorance, were people, and they took their kids to school and they took care of their families and they had all the hopes and dreams and struggles of everyone I ever met,” Emmelhainz said. “It was sort of a real eye-opener. “The Bible is just full of things that I feel largely the Christian community isn’t doing,” he added. “We’re not being the sacrificial hosts in our community that we ought to be.” Emmelhainz recalled riding on a bus with his wife during their stay in Pakistan, and being invited to dinner by another passenger solely because it was obvious they were strangers. “I’m going to talk about some of the things that are beautiful about the Muslim cultures (that) are
some of the same things that Jesus calls us to do, to be a host to strangers, to love your neighbors … to call the Christian community back to what we ought to be as servants to the refugee,” Emmelhainz said. “Nathan will be sharing his own journey as well as some practical advice on how to become friends with your Muslim, or Christian or Jewish, etc., neighbor,” the Rev. Chris Fleece, associate pastor at Cooke Road Church of the Nazarene, wrote in describing the speaker for the opening night of the conference. Day two of the conference on June 4 will be devoted to visiting different restaurants and stores representing various cultures and then returning to the church, 1389 E. Cooke Road, to continue discussing ways in which people of different backgrounds can come to know one another better.

the operation. This was part of the operation Smith was able to visit. “She didn’t even know it existed,” Wolfe said. “It’s a very nice little shop they have there,” Smith said. The 30 or so people at the Business After Hours spent around $100 on items at the thrift store, Wolfe said. “We had a couple of people who
offered to volunteer,” he said. “We had some who had volunteered in the past and some new people who are wanting to volunteer, as well.” He said he was pleased to see business people from different parts of Columbus find some common ground. “We had a couple of people who offered to volunteer,” Wolfe said. “We had some who had volunteered in the past and some new people who are wanting to vol-

unteer, as well.” “It really gave our members a chance to get to know some of their neighbors they might not have known before,” Smith said. “It was good. It worked out well.” “It was, overall, a good event,” Wolfe said. “It was intended to link NABA and Clintonville and the Y together, expose people to Cat Welfare … and create a community relationship for better cooperation.”

That’s just what the Epilepsy Foundation of Central Ohio did when it debuted Viva Las Vino on May 6 at the Loft at Smith Bros. Hardware, 580 N. 4th St. The chance was well worth it. Presented by American Electric Power, the wine-tasting showcased wines from Glazer’s Distributors and sported a Vegas theme. By night’s end, more than $19,000 was raised for our programs and services. We consider that a great success. But, we did not achieve that success alone. We are grateful to those whose generosity helped us to achieve our goal, including Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Team Epilepsy, Nationwide Insurance, Fifth Third Bank, White Castle, Dinsmore Public Sector Advisors, Webface and a special sponsorship named in memory of Bob Carlisle. We want to acknowledge the hard work of our event chair, Eric Clarke, as well as Epilepsy Foundation executive director Dian-
na Doyle, our board of directors, our staff and our many volunteers. The Epilepsy Foundation of Central Ohio is a private, nonprofit social service organization that provides services to people living with epilepsy and seizure disorder, their families and caregivers as well as providing public education. The Foundation’s mission is to enhance the quali-
ty of life for those affected by epilepsy and to increase the understanding of epilepsy in central Ohio. Thanks to the tremendous support we received through Viva Las Vino, we will continue to do just that. Stephanie Cassini-Carlisle, president, board of directors Epilepsy Foundation of Central Ohio

New lunch menu unveiled at Sage American Bistro Last week, some lucky tablemates and I basically had Sage all to ourselves for a few terrific lunches. See, the top-tier North Campus place was attempting to roll out its new midday service slowly and on the down-low. Yeah, sorry Sage, that’s not likely to happen now that G.A. Loudmouth is on your case. And as word breaks out that Sage is making great soups, salads and lusty, handcrafted sandwiches for only a couple more bucks than fast food, I doubt I’ll be enjoying many more allalone nooners in there again any time soon. Working from a restrained menu that emphasizes tricked-out familiar sandwiches, Sage’s lunchtime fare is rife with bold, compound bites that wrangle the sweet and spicy, the salty and hearty, the leafy and meaty. And that includes soups and salads because Sage certainly excels in these culinary phases, too. Take, for instance, a recent Daily Soup ($6) flaunting deeply developed flavors. At its heart were tons of long-cooked,
MENU by G.A. Benton transparent onions with the texture of soft noodles. The soup’s body, which was creamy — but not excessively thick or gloppy — benefited handsomely from blue cheese pungency and a backbone of bacon. Instead of forgettable ephemera, the salads I tried at Sage actually provided me with something memorable to sink my teeth into. For example, “steaky” is not a word generally associated with a pile of greens, but it aptly describes the Grilled Caesar ($7). About half an intact head of smoky and grill-marked romaine was trimmed to its heart and embellished with hard-cooked egg, anchovies and a brashly rich dressing. The excellent Spring House Salad ($7) elegantly balanced delicate, chopped thin asparagus spears, shallots and a
do, melted Swiss and a sweet and spicy, chutneylike house-made chipotle ketchup. This grill-crusted black Angus big boy might’ve been a royal mess to handle but it was a princely feast to eat. The BLT+ ($9) similarly dressed up another old favorite. Its buttery and thick, Texas-toasty “grilled By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek brioche” bread held up Bistro Banh Mi with a side of bright red slaw from under the weight of much the new Sage lunch menu. super crispy bacon, good L and T plus a rich oncreamy, semi-sweet, rosemary-tinged dressing with upscale pork and beans. I slaught of black-pepper mayo, avocado especially liked how its generous cubes and a fried egg. Exactly. Southeast Asia met South Carolina of salty, seared pancetta placed al dente white beans and the salad’s other ele- on a baguette-y roll in Sage’s Bistro Banh Mi ($9). This hearty hybrid comments into crisp relief. Racy southwestern accents perked up bined huge hunks of tangy-sauced pulled Sage’s massive and marvelous Bistro pork with a slaw of pickled carrots, Burger ($11).

Speaking of sides, Sage’s other extras, like the addictive, hand-cut fries ($3), the bright, sweet and tart red cabbage slaw ($2) and a not-so-simple Simple Salad ($3), were standouts in taste, size and price. If sandwiches aren’t your thing, there are also a Smoked Salmon pasta ($11) and a full-flavored, salt-edged meatball with a kicky “smoked tomato” gravy, killer tater-tot-riffing risotto cake and niftily contrasting arugula salad ($11).

As a junior in high school, Riley began washing dishes for Art Yoho, the man who would become his mentor — and later partner — in the restaurant business. Yoho, then owner of Yoho’s Café and Catering on Westerville Road in the North Linden area, showed Riley the ropes: how to cook, work the smoker, control food costs and manage labor. “Everything he taught me, I took with me,” said Riley, who opened his second Holy Smoke Bar-
becue last week at 5251 N. Hamilton Road near New Albany. “We’re in a good place to grow,” he said. “I needed a commissary and catering facility that also had a retail setting.” The store, in 2,100 square feet of space that was formerly home to Baja Sol, is more than just a sitdown restaurant: It is now is the barbecue center of his universe. It is where he prepares all the meats for his two eateries (the original is in the North Market) in Southern Pride Smokers located out back. The space, which seats 50 inside and another 30 outside, is designed in a way that allows customers to take a visual survey of the offerings: a glass case out front houses the brisket, pork, ribs, sausage and chicken, plus a variety of Southern sides. “Hopefully, you see what you want to eat today and see what you want to eat tomorrow,” he said. When orders are prepared, patrons retrieve their meals from the counter. Riley uses two kinds of wood: shagbark hickory and cherry, which are cut from the log right before they enter the smoker. Beer will join the beverage list in the By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek next week or so. Riley said he will have Stan Riley stands in his second Holy Smoke Barbecue the typical American macro-brews in the restaurant, which recently opened at 5251 N. Hamilton bottle while offering a repertoire of microRoad. The original store is in the North Market. For video brews on tap. For the time being, there’s of Riley at the restaurant, visit www.ThisWeekNews.com. Frostop Root Beer on tap, along with other
cold beverages. Holy Smoke has its own brand of barbecue sauces — “Sweet and Smokey” and “Spicy Chipotle” — available tableside and for retail sale. And, Riley stresses, the ribs are slathered with sauce before serving, unless otherwise specified. He also offers several sauces for retail made by CaJohns Fiery Foods, a specialty-foods manufacturer located in Westerville. Riley and John Hard, the founder of CaJohns, were partners in the North Market before Hard left to concentrate on his salsas, sauces and spice mixes. He also makes Holy Smoke’s private label. The new store means the end of an era at the Westerville Road site, from which Riley was doing all of his cooking for the market and catering operations. Riley bought out Yoho, who still distributes the Southern Pride smoker, in 2005. Yoho’s family still owns the property but has no intention of returning to the restaurant business. Holy Smoke is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614-471-8844. Spagio Wine Cellars is now Spagio Wine Lounge, reflecting a remodeling effort and an update in the food and wine service. “After 10 years, I think it was time to give the place a facelift,” manager Spencer Meilstrup said. The store is located at 1295 Grandview Ave. Additional seating has been added near the front of the store, which has an updated look, while the wine inventory has been moved to the back. There are several new small plates on the menu,

including steamed mussels, crab and shrimp salad on fried wontons and Kobe beef and ahi tuna sliders. Pizzas and other small dishes remain. All are priced in the $3 to $10 range. Doubling its wines by the glass and flights, Spagio Wine Lounge now offers eight wine flights and 28 glass pours, Meilstrup said.

City Notes
Warriors’ Barnes shines at district By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Bearcats placed fifth (60) of 15 teams that scored in district 2 as Hilliard Davidson (109) won. “The only thing that was disappointing was the (400 relay),” coach Steve Ayers said. “We had the fastest time in central Ohio coming in but had a bad exchange and they didn’t finish the race. “Nigel kept going (in the high jump) and he actually had 7-1 but snapped the bar with his leg.” The Northland boys were ninth (42) of
There’s been a new name to remember for followers of central Ohio girls high school track and field this spring. Sophomore Aaliyah Barnes quickly became one of the area’s top sprinters during the regular season for Eastmoor Academy but wasn’t able to compete in the City League championships May 9 and 11 at Mifflin because of pain in her sacroiliac joint, also known as the SI joint. The SI joint is in the pelvic region. Although she did feel some pain during the Division II district meet that concluded May 21 at Hamilton Township, her performance didn’t signal that she would be limited heading into the regional meet Thursday, May 26, and Saturday, May 28, at Welcome Stadium in Dayton. In the final of the 100 meters, Barnes finished in 11.8 seconds to edge Hartley senior Aisha Cavin by .02 of a second. Cavin had the best time in both the preliminaries and semifinal. Then in the 200, Barnes ran 24.54 to beat Hartley senior Maya Pedersen (25.53). Barnes did not compete last season because she didn’t take the required class amount to be eligible. “(Beating Cavin) feels good,” Barnes said. “My SI joint is messed up, and I’m actually going to therapy for it. I’m just happy I’m able to run. I’m just taking it a track meet at a time and hopefully I can make it to the next round.” The Eastmoor boys team sent a large contingent to regional after winning the 14-team Division II, district 2 meet with 131 points at Hamilton Township. Granville (106) was runner-up. In the Division III district meet at Gahanna, the Africentric girls team was fifth (46) of 26 teams that scored behind champion Grandview (100.5). The Nubians’ 800 relay of Chelsea Chambers, Amanda Douglas, Kyrah Jones and Brittani Thomas was first in 1:49.97. “(The 800 relay) was a little shaky at the beginning of the season, but we got it down pat,” Chambers said. “We just recently got it together and took six seconds off our (time in preliminaries).” •LACROSSE SUCCESS — The Columbus City Schools club boys lacrosse team closed its second season with a 7-7 record. The squad opened the Club North Region tournament with a 14-2 victory over Clinton County on May 19 before falling to Delaware 18-4 on May 21. Seniors D’Angelo Cousar (Horizon Science Academy) and Spencer Kidwell (Centennial) each made first-team all-region. Junior Suding Seiter (Whetstone) and sophomores Ed McGlynn (Whetstone) and Hart Wise (Columbus Academy) made the second team. Another standout, according to coach J.B. Jones, was senior

Baseball, softball teams win titles By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Amanda Herron of the DeSales High School softball team is heading to Eastern Michigan next season with a reputation as a line-drive hitter, but in a Division II district final against Hilliard Bradley she showed she also can hit for power. Herron’s two-run home run, her second of the season, is all DeSales needed to win a second consecutive district championship as the top-seeded Stallions defeated Hilliard Bradley 2-0 at Pickerington Central on May 20. “We knew it was going to come down to one play like that,” said coach Julie Barber, whose team was 24-3 before playing New Concord John Glenn in a regional semifinal on May 25. “Both teams were on their games. It’s a shame it was a district final.” The batter before Herron, Courtney Somers, doubled just beyond the reach of Bradley’s center fielder with two outs. “I thought, finally, they made a mistake,” said Herron, who was instructed to crowd the plate to prevent Bradley pitcher Kellie Roudabush from effec-
tively using her outside pitches. DeSales defeated Granville 3-2 to win a district title last year. In 2008, DeSales lost to Canal Winchester 6-4 in a district final. The day before beating Bradley, DeSales defeated Big Walnut 13-3 in six innings in a district semifinal. “It definitely helps being in this situation before,” said pitcher Kelsey Seeds, who allowed one hit against Bradley. “(Against Big Walnut) we got a rally going to get that win and we came in here today ready to play.” The regional semifinal winner advanced to play Duncan Falls Philo or Logan Elm in a regional final on Saturday, May 28, at Pickerington Central. The regional champion plays in a state semifinal June 2 at Akron Firestone. •The baseball team came through in two extra-inning games to win its third district championship in four years.

Local Roundup
Preacher reaches regional in four events By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
What already has been a memorable season for Brookhaven High School senior Nigel Preacher continued in the Division I, district 1 boys track and field meet that concluded May 21 at Hilliard Bradley when he advanced to regional in four events. The day also saw the continuing growth of the Brookhaven girls program, as junior Charletta Henley captured the district 2 title at Bradley in the long jump
(16 feet, 5 3/4 inches). Preacher, who followed his recordbreaking City finish in the high jump (71/4) by winning the district title in the event (7-0), will be the busiest of the local athletes competing in the Division I regional that began May 25 and concludes Friday, May 27, at Pickerington North. The top four finishers in each event advance to the state meet June 3-4 at Ohio State. “I was a little bit nervous and I kept fouling at first (in the long jump) and
then I was focused,” Henley said. “I was just very nervous and wasn’t hitting the board at first, but then I felt very good about it. I’m excited.” Henley’s performance helped the Brookhaven girls finish 11th (24) of 12 teams that scored in district 2 as Pickerington Central (126) won the title. Preacher added runner-up finishes in the long jump (21-11 1/2) and 110 hurdles (15.47) and was third in the 300 hurdles (40.26) to lead the Brookhaven boys. The 800 relay also was first (1:28.86).

DESALES Continued from page B1 DeSales scored two runs in the seventh inning in both games to force extra innings. The Stallions trailed 9-4 in the fifth inning against Canal Winchester. “I told them that you can’t get comfortable getting behind in games, but they’ve been able to come back and win those games,” said coach Tom Neubert, whose team improved to 15-8. “We’ve played 19 innings in two games. We’ve found a way to make plays and get the runs.” DeSales advanced to play Uhrichsville Claymont in a regional semifinal Thursday, May 26, at Zanesville. The winner plays Chillicothe Unioto or Steubenville on Friday, May 27, at Zanesville. •The boys lacrosse team played New Albany in a semifinal of the Division II Central Region tournament on May 25.

16 teams that scored in district 1 as Thomas Worthington (87) won. Will Barnes won the 110 hurdles (14.94) and 200 (22.35) and added a third-place finish in the 100 (11.42) to lead the Vikings. “We were excited for him,” coach Kevin Tooson said. “He’s been pretty solid all year.” Also in the district 1 meet, the Northland girls finished ninth (27) and Beechcroft finished 12th (17) of 14 teams that scored. Dublin Coffman (152) won the title. The Vikings girls placed in four field events, while the Cougars girls had two individuals place in running events. One of the more enjoyable moments of the meet for Northland girls coach Tom Fast came when Bria Johnson learned she had placed fourth in the discus (92-2) to advance to regional. “It was really unexpected,” Fast said. “She’s a very delightful young lady who works hard. When she heard her name called, she broke down in tears.” The Beechcroft boys tied Worthington Kilbourne for 11th (15) of 14 teams that scored in district 3 as Coffman (116.5) won. Dai’Ron Glover was second in the 100 (11.05) and ran on the 400 relay that took third. “Dai’Ron didn’t have a very good start (in the 100) and hadn’t lost that race all year,” coach Scott Davis said. “But he’s moving on.” •GATTIS TO COACH BEARCATS — Darris Gattis became the new coach of the Brookhaven girls basketball team May 20. After posting a 143-163 record in 14 seasons at Columbus East, Gattis takes over for retiring coach Reggie Lee. In 30 seasons under Lee, the Bearcats won 515 games, including the 1996 Division I state title. Brookhaven was a district runner-up and went 16-6 last season. The Tigers advanced to district semifinals five times under Gattis, including last season. “I’m very excited,” Gattis said. “I think this is the best job in the state in girls basketball and boys basketball. Brookhaven has been so consistent in terms of wins and losses the last 20 years. It’s an honor to replace coach Lee, who I consider one of my mentors. The entire north side knows about the tradition of Brookhaven and they look at Brookhaven as the place to go.” •TENNIS CHAMPIONS — The Northland boys tennis team defeated Centennial 3-2 on May 23 in the City championship match at Woodward Park. It was the Vikings’ first appearance in the City final since losing to Briggs 5-0 in 2008. Centennial won the regularseason title at 12-0, followed by Northland (11-1) and Whetstone (10-2). Beechcroft and Brookhaven both finished 6-6. Beechcroft went 8-8 overall and will lose seniors Jon Slaughter and Eric Taylor. Eligible to return at singles are juniors Joseph Pleasant, David Beyene and Mike Parker. Junior Josh Pleasant and freshman Jason Rojas saw extensive action at doubles.

Osei-Bonsu was at second singles and junior Thomas Vomboi played third singles. Also seeing action were juniors Edward Donkor and Andrews Osei-Bonsu, sophomore Emmanuel Achirem and freshman Netronne Backus. •The Brookhaven softball team had a successful spring, according to coach Chuck Andrick. Whetstone and Centennial finished in a first-place tie in the City-North Division at 13-1, with the Stars beating the Braves 7-3 on May 18 in a one-game playoff to determine which advanced to the City title game. The Bearcats finished 13-7 overall and third at 10-4 in the league. Beechcroft finished 6-8 overall and 6-6 in the City-North. Northland went 7-12 overall and 6-8 in the City-North. Brookhaven, which lost to Westerville North 21-0 in the first round of the Division I district tournament May 10, loses just one senior in four-year regular Ashley Brockman. She made second-team all-City. Among those eligible to return are junior infielder Chelsea Matthews (first-team all-City), junior pitcher Rachel Montgomery (first-team all-City), sophomore catcher Katie Stoots (honorable mention all-City) and sophomore infielder Kristina Tweedy (honorable mention allCity). “I thought we improved tremendously,” Andrick said. “We competed with Centenni-

al (May 12) and lost 7-3 but it was a one-run game going into the seventh. The good thing is that we only lose one girl.” Beechcroft will lose five seniors in Yvette Martin (C), Domonique Hillmon (2B), Natalee Banks (SS), Tyler Hairston (INF) and Brittany Bohanan (3B). The Cougars lost to Bexley 13-1 in the first round of the Division II district tournament. Freshmen Starlah Germany and Mary Stewart were among the bright spots during a season in which coach Bruce Ward was hoping for better results. Germany started in center field and made first-team all-City. “When you don’t play for long periods of time like we did this spring, it’s easy to get distracted,” Ward said. “Everybody was in the same boat, but the bottom line is that we were just unfocused. On paper it felt like a good team. We lose an experienced group of seniors, but we’ll have a freshman pitcher coming back and Starlah Germany coming back.” Northland lost to Upper Arlington 11-0 on May 10 in the first round of the Division I district tournament. The Vikings will graduate four seniors in Shayla Mayes, Grace Saydee, Chloe Siens and Kyra Stevens. Among those eligible to return are juniors Raven Dickens, Demaris Inman and Briyona Smith and sophomore Janelle Tyler. See BASEBALL, page B3

The other seniors were Evan Campbell (Whetstone), Nathan Hanes (Centennial) and Carl Palumbo (Westland). “We had five kids make all-region, which is pretty impressive,” Jones said. “That shows that these kids are willing to work hard. Next year I think we’ll have some growing pains because we do have some upperclassmen leaving, but I’m happy to get anyone.” •IN CITY FINALS — Centennial won 3-1 on May 23 at Briggs for the City softball title. The victory gave the Stars a final record of 18-6, while the Bruins finished 15-6. Briggs has gone 1-7 in City title games. “We had lost several seniors and came into the season trying to replace five or six starters,” Stars coach Larry Howell said. “A lot of little things here and there worked out. It’s been a fun season.” In the City boys tennis final May 23 at Woodward Park, Northland beat Centennial 3-2. During the regular season, the Stars went 12-0 in league play and the Vikings went 11-1.

City-North. The Cougars will lose seniors Anthony Barnes, Tevin Qualls and R.J. Daniels. Eligible to return is a junior class that featured Charmonta’ Bennett, Ricky Crum, Dustin Poindexter, Tyquan Wakefield and Brandon Woods. Crum went 4-3 with 49 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings and Woods was 2-2. Daniels hit a teambest .379, followed by Bennett (.371), Wakefield (.370 and Crum (.316). “The rain really hurt us in that we had some nice momentum going before spring break, and some very winnable games got rained out,” coach Matt Bell said. “To finish the season winning three straight gives us a very positive attitude going into the summer. Several of our players will be playing on a City League-North summer team, so hopefully getting in about 20 more games will help them improve.” Brookhaven lost to Groveport 9-5 on May 9 in the first round of the Division I district tournament and finished 7-15 overall and 7-7 in the City-North. The Bearcats are eligible to return all of their key players except for senior outfielder Saviyon Cunningham. Juniors Jesse Curry, Grant Parker and Devin Williams should be among the top returnees.
•The Northland baseball team was a muchimproved squad from the one that lost to Brookhaven 14-10 in its March 31 opener. The Vikings lost to Thomas Worthington 9-5 in the first round of the Division I district tournament May 9 and finished 9-11 overall and 86 in the City-North after losing to Centennial 90 on May 19. Whetstone and Centennial met in a one-game playoff May 24 to determine the City-North champion after both finished with 13-1 regular-season league records. The Vikings will lose six seniors, including second-team all-City selection Corey Johnson (1B/P). Among those eligible to return are juniors Manthoni Brown and Andrew Love (firstteam all-City, honorable mention all-district), sophomores Xavier Conner (second-team allCity) and Wade Beightler (second-team all-district) and freshmen Justin Hill and Clay Siens. “I thought we’d be about .500,” said Dean Washington, who finished his 25th season coaching baseball in the City, including his 11th at Northland. “Our discipline got better and our skill set got better. Overall, they hung in there and improved. We’re going to keep plugging away.” Beechcroft lost to Big Walnut 17-0 on May 10 in the first round of the Division II district tour- julrey@thisweeknews.com nament and finished 8-9 overall and 7-7 in the www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Be prepared by getting pre-approved Despite countless stories about the troubles in the housing market, there are many options available. That said, the first step in determining whether or not to shop for that new home is to discuss your financial situation with a trusted mortgage professional and get pre-approved. A pre-approval is one of two common processes prospective homebuyers engage in before making an offer on a home; prequalification is the other. Both allow customers to begin the buying process with a good idea of what they can afford, but there are clear advantages to going one step beyond pre-qualification to get pre-approved. Pre-qualification uses a homebuyer’s financial information — income, debts and other monthly obligations, such as child support payments — to determine a buyer’s debt ratio. Depending
on how much or how little is available for a down payment, this process helps to determine the size mortBRIAN gage the buyer can afBURSTEIN ford and the type of mortgage that best meets the buyer’s needs. Pre-approval takes the approval process to the end — almost. Only a few items remain outstanding, such as an appraisal of the property and confirmation the buyer will have whatever cash is needed for the closing. For a comparatively small fee — usually about $50 — lenders will work through the steps necessary to receive a mortgage. Buyers who get pre-approved
know exactly which financial guidelines they are working within. The pre-approved buyer has the lender’s approval for a specific mortgage amount. Lenders and real estate agents sometimes say pre-approval is the “same as cash,” which can often be an advantage in beating out other buyers. Searching for the right home, arranging a comfortable mortgage and closing the deal can be a challenging process. So doing a little legwork up front by becoming pre-approved can make the other challenges a whole lot easier. Brian Burstein is an area sales manager with Fifth Third Bank Mortgage.
