Gahanna residents will be able to see McDonald’s latest specials on an electronic message board at 298 S. Hamilton Road, though several planning commission members oppose it.

The commission voted 4-3 on June 8 for a variance to allow the installation of the message board at McDonald’s new location, scheduled to open

by Labor Day. The new McDonald’s will be at the former KFC site, an outlet to Hunters Ridge Mall Shopping Center, and is adjacent to Taco Bell and Marathon.

Commission members in favor of the variance were Kristin Rosan, Joe Keehner, David Thom and Robert Westwood. Dissenting members were David Andrews, Jennifer Price and Don Shep-

read the messages.

Andrews said he understands McDonald’s wanting an electronic message board, but he fears other businesses would want to add one.

Price said she appreciates that the business also would allow community-service announcements

on the board, but Gahanna Lincoln High School already provides that with its sign.

“I can’t support the electronic message part of the sign,” she said.

Thom said the commission negatively viewed electronic message boards several years ago, but times have changed.

“Now they’re just about everywhere you go,” he said. “I don’t believe these are any worse than others you see right now.”

The message board will be added to a pole sign that will be placed on the southwest corner of the property, providing visibility to those traveling north and south on South Hamilton Road.

Rodger Kessler, representing Kessler Sign Co., said many businesses are installing electronic message-display boards throughout the United States and the world.

“It’s another way to correctly communicate what’s going on in the restaurant and in the community,” he said.

Kessler said he estimates 75 percent of the messages would be related to McDonald’s business, including new products, and the other 25 percent would be for public-service announcements, such as giving to the United Way. The commission unanimously objected to a variance for a directional sign for McDonald’s at the southeast corner of the Hunters Ridge Shopping Center.

“What we want to do is direct traffic to the farthest entrance so they can enter the property in a safe and orderly fashion,” Kessler said.

Price said nonresidents would be traveling on

Maddy Andrews, 4, casts her line into the water while enjoying the day at Creekside on June 11. Andrews had her face painted and was taking part in family fishing during the Second Saturday event. The theme for the event was “Pony Up!” and included paddleboats, a scavenger hunt and a concert. The Gahanna Greenflea, an eco-friendly flea market behind Honey Grove Botanicals Bath and Candle Boutique, debuted at the event and will continue during Second Saturdays. The next Second Saturday is planned for July 9 and has a “Carnival Craze” theme.

Teller machine gets space at Clark Hall With credit union, facility is fully ‘leased out’

By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Gahanna-Jefferson Board of Education approved a lease agreement June 9 with Education First Credit Union for a teller machine in Clark Hall.

Treasurer Julio Valladares said the “hightech” machine would occupy 200 square feet on the left side of Clark’s main foyer. The fiveyear lease is for $43,101.

“We’re glad to have them as a partner for Clark Hall,” he said. “Clark is fully leased out.”

Dick Mayslik, CEO of Education First, said the credit union first opened in 1936 for Columbus Public Schools.

He said there are two missions of the credit union: a financial mission, offering services such as auto and home loans, and a social mission to provide financial literacy.

“We feel we’re a resource to employees, faculty and staff,” he said. “The way we’re structured, we can offer lower interest rates

Education First Credit Union is open for membership to anyone who is affiliated with the education community and students in Franklin, Union and Delaware counties.

He said the school district also has an opportunity to implement a student-run credit union.

Valladares said the concept of a studentrun credit union was discussed a few years ago to provide financial literacy to students.

“What better way to do that than a real situation rather than something fictitious?” he said.

Valladares said he has observed a studentrun operation in Dublin, where students had the chance to ask questions during lunch.

“There was a roulette wheel with (finance) questions,” he said. “If they got an answer right, they’d get a free Chipotle. We’ll work with the high school principal to see how it would fit.”

Clark Hall, set to open in August, will relieve overcrowding at Lincoln High School by providing 50,000 square feet of classroom space on the second and third floors.

The district previously approved leases for Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools (EFCTS) and Columbus State Community College (CSCC) on the first floor of the building.

The lease agreements with EFCTS and CSCC started this year, with EFCTS renting space for 15 years with an upfront payment of $1,252,472. CSCC will pay a total rent of $500,890 for three years, with renewal in 2014 See LEASES, page A4

Gahanna-area families can get jazzed up about this year’s expanded Musical Discovery Zone (MDZ), with its own stage and free interactive activities, during the 13th annual Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival on June 17-19 in Olde Gahanna.

Karen Eylon, director of the Gahanna Convention & Visitors Bureau, said she’s excited about this year’s expansion of the MDZ. “There’s such a broad spectrum of offerings, from learning how to play instruments to making your own instrument,” she said.

“Youth can really learn and foster a love for music.”

With local school districts struggling financially, Eylon said, music often is one of the first programs to be cut.

“I think it’s important to our

board and committee to reach out and foster that love of music in childhood development and life,” she said. “We’ll reach that objective with lots of great activities and opportunities to become engaged.”

The festival has featured the MDZ since 2007, though with a nominal fee.

“Even though it was nominal, we didn’t want the fee to impede on families to discover the music,” Eylon said.

A new location places the MDZ outside the admission gates, next to the mini-midway of amusement rides, so families can enjoy free entertainment and activities.

“I think it will be a lot of fun for kids,” she said. “Now we’re up to five stages with the musical discovery stage.”

MUSIC Continued from page A1 weekend lineup offering exceptionally storied resumes.

For the first time, two nationally acclaimed blues headliners, Bill “Watermelon Slim” Homans and James “Super Chikan” Johnson, will perform.

The Jazz headliner is trumpeter Pharez Whitted from Chicago.

Homans, an Oklahoma guitarist, singer and harmonica player, has a long and varied list of sanctioned blues awards to his credit and songs that deliver his signature style, with revelatory and memorable phrases.

Johnson, from Mississippi, plays hand-painted/hand-made folk art guitars.

Homans, who once farmed watermelons, is a former forklift operator and long-haul trucker who taught himself to play an upside-down, left-handed guitar while lying in a Vietnam hospital bed.

A winner of 2008 Blues Music Awards (album of the year and blues band of the year), Homans released “Okiesippi Blues” on June 7, featuring coheadlining partner Johnson.

Drawing on the driving, rhythmic sounds of Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry and John Lee Hooker, Johnson writes lyrics culled from his former life as a trucker and his current life as a resident of the Mississippi Delta.

The Clarksdale, Mississippibased, guitarist melds country blues, funk, rock and straight blues.

Following the commercial and

critical success of his 1997 debut album, “Blues Comes Home to Roost,” Johnson has toured and performed throughout North America and Europe. His latest CD is “Welcome to Sunny Bluesville.”

The man born James Johnson also hand-paints each of his instruments with scenes of the Delta.

The duo will take the blues stage beginning at 9:15 p.m. Saturday, June 18.

Whitted, the son of singerbassist Virtue Hampton and nephew of trombonist Slide Hampton, once taught jazz trumpet at Ohio State University (1993 to 2000) and was a fixture in Columbus’ Dell, Barrister Hall, the 501 Jazz Bar and Lindey’s. He is director of jazz studies at Chicago State University. Whitted’s latest solo album is “Transient Journey.”

He will pair with Liquid Crystal Project for a set of jazz and hip-hop fusion beginning at 9 p.m. Friday, June 17, on the jazz stage. Columbus hip-hop and R&B musicians and singers J. Rawls, BJazz, Charles Cooper and Rob Riley comprise the Liquid Crystal Project, which infuses fundamental jazz with elements of hip-hop.

Also performing will be the award-winning Urban Jazz Coalition and the Columbus Jazz Orchestra.

Others to be featured on the jazz stage are as follows: • Columbus Jazz Orchestra, 3 p.m. Sunday.

• The Tim Cummiskey Duo,

FESTIVAL Continued from page A1 Giant Eagle, children, teens and families will learn the styles that define blues and jazz by experiencing, playing and moving to the music.

“Each year, the Columbus Blues Alliance (CBA) and the Jazz for Kids program welcome this opportunity,” said Bob Thomas, CBA volunteer. “It’s great to be working with these kids. It gives them a chance to learn by doing and have a lot of fun in the process. The musicians play blues or jazz, and then they teach the kids how to play with harmonicas, kazoos and other instruments that they get to take home with them.”

With the help of several volunteers, the MDZ becomes an inspirational, musical learning area for children.

Even the cornhole game is visually set to music, with the openings strategically located on musical notes and the image of a vocalist going for the high note with mouth fully open.

Highlights of MDZ include the following: • Saturday, 1:30–3:30 p.m.: Jazz for Kids will interact with children as they experience improvisational jazz.

• Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.: The CBA will sing and play the blues with budding young musicians.

The Gahanna Academy of Music will perform from noon to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 18, when musicians ages 12 to 14 will lead the audience in jazz improvisation. Accomplished jazz pianist and educator Bradley Sowash will

Job fair for veterans coming SIGN to Ohio Stadium on June 23

Continued from page A2

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The hold music at the Loveland headquarters of RecruitMilitary.com is blaring patriotic songs.

It’s only fitting for a company that was founded in 1998 by former Marine Capt. Drew Myers.

Among other things, RecruitMilitary holds job fairs for veterans and their spouses.

The next RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expo will take place on Thursday, June 23, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.

“The event is being produced

by RecruitMilitary.com in cooperation with the American Legion and is intended to help our recently returning troops and other veterans and service members and their spouses with employment, entrepreneurship, and educational opportunities,” according to a statement from the firm, which is based near Cincinnati.

“Over 300 veterans are expected to attend to interview and network with veteran-friendly employers that will be on site with national, regional and local opportunities, as well as franchisers and educational institutions.”

“A lot of solid companies” will be represented at the event, RecruitMilitary director of events and national accounts Robert Walker said last week.

More than 35 “veteran friendly” companies have signed on, Walker said, with more expected to join in. These include Waste Management, Verizon Wireless, COTA, the Secret Service, FedEx and the Ohio Department of Public Safety, according to the director of events. Positions available range from small administrative jobs up to top management positions, as well as sales work of all kinds, Walker said.

“I think it’s going to be a good event,” he said.

“RecruitMilitary, LLC, founded in 1998, offers online hiring

products, hiring-based advertising space in online and print media, contingency hiring services and participation in job fairs,” according to a 2005 press release announcing a partnership with Manufacturing Institute of the National Association of Manufacturers.

Although RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expos have been staged since 2006, Walker said that the company doesn’t have information on how many veterans and their spouses have gotten jobs as a result. He did say that more than 25 percent go on to have a second interview, but added that often veterans hired by firms at the job fairs don’t report back to RecruitMilitary personnel.

“As far as hard and fast numbers, we don’t have that, unfortunately,” Walker said.

The June 23 event at Ohio Stadium is free for military veterans and their spouses. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Hamilton Road.

“So I struggle with the necessity of a directional sign for residents,” she said. “If you have a sign, I think it would encourage people to turn in there unnecessarily.”

Westwood said Gahanna residents would know where McDonald’s is.

“I also think it would create more congestion,” he said.

Thom said there’s a major traffic problem on Morrison Road already, but he hopes the Tech Center extension would help relieve that congestion in the fall.

In other action, the commission approved design reviews for certificates of appropriateness for McDonald’s and Cherry Way Medical, 1329 Cherry Way Drive.

Various code amendments also were approved.

A conditional use for Giant Eagle, 1250 N. Hamilton Road, to allow temporary seasonal sidewalk sales in front of the store was postponed because no representative attended the meeting to answer questions.

Market manager Rob Platte said the farmers market would have vendors selling fresh local produce of all kinds, including sweet corn, tomatoes, herbs, berries, cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries and other produce.

In addition, he said, there will be baked goods, including bread, pies, scones, local honey, maple syrup, alpaca products and Amish baked goods.

The bridge is on the south end of the bike trail that runs past the veterans memorial, near the Gahanna Swim Club Pool, and connects to a trail that is just north of Price Road.

The Big Walnut Trail extension is part of an ongoing project by the Gahanna Department of Parks & Recreation to acquire and protect property along the Big Walnut Creek to protect and preserve the natural resource.

The connectivity provided by section 7 of the Big Walnut Trail, which will intersect with section 6, allows the residents of southwest Gahanna to gain access to the business centers on South Hamilton Road.

A pedestrian bridge that crosses the Big Walnut Creek, connecting the Big Walnut Trail’s section 7, was installed June 7.

Lew could often be found telling stories, coon hunting, raising canaries, mowing lawns and bragging about his grandchildren. He cherished the time spent with his loving family.

Lew will be remembered by his family and friends for his generosity, sense of humor, caring nature and his amazing ability to accept all people as his friend. Lew is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Ellen M. (Russell) Sheldon, whom he married on February 29, 1952; two daughters, Berdina (Allen) Reis of Gahanna, DiAnne (Jeff) Lindberg of Vienna; two sons, James (Betsy) Sheldon of Niles, Bob (Lynetta) Sheldon of Niles; nine grandchildren, Scott (Amy) Reis, Steve (Lisa) Reis, Tom Reis, Jason Crist, Jared Crist, Julia Lindberg, Jennifer Sheldon-Poling, Jimmy (Jay) Sheldon, Lindsey Sheldon; great-grandson, Colin Poling; two brothers, Carl (Evelyn) Sheldon, George (Paula) Sheldon both of Lordstown; and numerous extended family members.

Academy mourns loss of Barren

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

King, who missed the 2010 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in October 2009. “I can’t believe it. After everything I went through with my arm and not even playing last year, it’s honestly a dream come true. I couldn’t possibly ask for anything more.

“I felt that I was going to get picked, but most of the stuff I was hearing, it was like sixth, seventh, eighth round, but to go in the fourth round is an honor.”

King led Kansas State in average (.326), home runs (10)

Preston Pearson will never forget the impact Columbus Academy football coach Mark Barren had on his life.

Under Barren’s guidance, Pearson, a 2011 graduate, became one of the Vikings’ top players, capping his career by being named first-team allMSL-Ohio Division and all-district and honorable mention allstate last fall.

It was Barren who helped Pearson, a fullback, receive the opportunity to play football at Otterbein University this fall.

Pearson and the entire Academy community were stunned

by Barren’s death on June 9, two days after he suffered a heart attack while jogging near his Worthington home.

Barren, a 1978 Academy graduate, was in intensive care at Riverside Methodist Hospital and never regained consciousness. He was 51.

“I talked to coach Barren every day,” Pearson said. “He was always there. Any problems I had, I could talk to him and he would help me.”

The school held its commencement ceremony on June 10 and it was a bittersweet day as students, family, faculty and friends celebrated the seniors’ accomplishments and Barren’s life.

In memory of Barren, school administrators reserved a chair, donned with an Academy polo shirt and cap, for him during the ceremony.

“It was tough, but at the same time, it had a healing factor because we all told stories about coach Barren and how he’s affected our lives,” Pearson said of the ceremony. “We talked about how he was a great person and how he took things serious and was organized, but at the same time, he was still lighthearted and had fun.”

The school held a signing ceremony on June 7 to commemorate Pearson’s chance to play at Otterbein. Pearson was grateful that Barren took part in the cere-

Area players set for Cap City game

By JARROD ULREY

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Grove City High School graduate Luke Smurthwaite hasn’t forgotten his previous experience with Briggs football coach Derek Katris.

The year before Katris took over the Bruins in 2009, he served as an assistant with the Dawgs junior varsity team and worked with Smurthwaite and the rest of the team’s offense.

Over the next two seasons, Smurthwaite developed into one of central Ohio’s top quarterbacks. He helped Grove City Christian to a Division VI state semifinal in 2009 when Grove City didn’t have fall sports and passed for more than 2,300 yards last fall in the Dawgs’ return season. He signed in February to play for Kent State.

Smurthwaite is expected to see significant time at quarterback Saturday, June 18, at Westerville Central as a member of the West all-stars, which will be coached

by Katris in the second Cap City Senior Bowl presented by Capcitypreps.com.

“My sophomore year, (Katris) took care of the j.v. team and he completely ran the offense,” Smurthwaite said. “We ran a whole bunch of crazy formations, but at the same time, he wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work.”

Smurthwaite is expected to be one of four players from Grove City who will be reunited with Katris, along with Bobby Brown (OL), Ken Reichle (LB) and his brother, Christian Smurthwaite (WR/DB).

Luke Smurthwaite also played in the Ohio North-South All-Star Classic on April 22.

Others listed on the West roster include Hilliard Davidson’s Logan Backstrom (OL) and Isa Tate (LB), Ready’s Demetrius Clark (RB), Columbus West’s Garryt AbfalterScott (WR), Dublin Scioto’s Jerry Miles (LB), Grandview’s Dan Satterthwaite (OL/DL) and Whetstone’s Jordan Mitchell (RB/DB). In college, Miles will play for

acquaintance of game director Anthony Murphy.

Marcus Fuller will play football for Brown University and prep teammate Cody Hickey (OL) will play for Mount Union.

Others expected to compete for the East all-stars who have committed to play in college include Westerville South’s Jayshon Jackson (RB, Grand Rapids Community College), Marion-Franklin’s Jeremy McCoy (WR/DB, Kent State), Groveport’s Anthony Pruitt (OL/DL, Kent State), New Albany’s Vinnie Cordova (OL, Eastern Illinois) and Westerville Central’s Miles Fisher (DB, Air Force).

St. Charles coach Jeff Pharion will lead the East all-stars.

“We’re going to keep it real simple offensively, but simple doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun with it,” Pharion said. “I know we’re getting a kid from Ashland who is going to play football for Brown University.”

“I’m just excited about getting a chance to play football again with some kids I know and guys I played against,” Fisher said. “It’ll also be like a warm-up for when I go to Air Force.”

•BIG 33 ALL-STARS — Also on Saturday, June 18, the 54th annual Big 33 Game will be held in Hershey Park Stadium in Hershey, Pa., and will feature allstars from Ohio against all-stars from Pennsylvania.

Listed on the Ohio roster from central Ohio are Hartley’s Noah Key (RB), Davidson’s J.D. Detmer (K/P) and Keith Heitzman (DL), Westerville Central’s Nick Vannett (TE) and Worthington Kilbourne’s Matt Skura (OL). Detmer and Key will play for Toledo, Heitzman will play for Michigan, Skura will play for Duke and Vannett will play for Ohio State.

Last season, Marion-Franklin’s Verlon Reed was named team MVP as Ohio beat Pennsylvania 18-15.

Villanova, Backstrom will play for Kentucky Christian, Clark will play for Ashland and Mitchell and Tate will play for Urbana.

Mitchell, who scored 21 touchdowns and rushed for more than 1,800 yards, and Abfalter-Scott, who had 57 catches for 821 yards, were two of the City League’s top offensive players last season.

“I’m really excited about it,” Katris said.

“I’ve got a couple coaches from the Briggs staff who are going to help me, and it’s an opportunity to do something I haven’t done before. I’ll be working with some of the kids from Grove City that I worked with when I was an assistant there. Jordan Mitchell ran for 250 yards when (Whetstone) played against us (in a 27-21 overtime win by Briggs last season). Demetrius Clark lives right down the road.”

The West all-stars lost to the East team 22-0 in last year’s game.

The event originally was formed as the City League All-Star game in 2008 but was expanded to include players from throughout central Ohio and had its name changed last summer.

In addition to having players who live in the eastern portion of Columbus, the East all-star roster will have two players from Ashland High School who have plans to play in college.

Marcus Fuller was the quarterback last season for Ashland, which lost to Marion-Franklin 12-7 in Week 3 of the regular season but went on to make the Division II, Region 5 playoffs. His father, Dan julrey@thisweeknews.com Fuller, is an assistant at Ashland and an www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Gahanna then scored eight points in the state meet June 34 at Ohio State to tie MarionFranklin for 29th behind champion Reynoldsburg (47).

Despite competing with a turf toe injury on her left foot, Brim placed second in the long jump (18-8 3/4) behind Middleburg Heights Midpark senior Kaila Barber (19-1 3/4). Brim, who is expected to move to Texas during the offseason, placed third (18-8 3/4) at state last year.

“We were coming on heading into the postseason, but unfortunately, injuries to key people took us out,” Whittaker said.

“But Lynnsey battled through the pain and finished our season on a high note. We’re losing Lynnsey, but we’ve got some good freshmen coming in and

most of our team is coming back. If we can stay healthy, we should do relatively well next year.”

Also at district, junior Jason McDonald placed fourth in the 3,200 (9:51.8) to qualify for re-

gional for the first time.

“Our OCC meet continued to be one of, if not the, most competitive meets in the state, but our kids did well and we finished in the top three,” said coach Ed Rarey, who has led Gahanna to two state, 14 regional, 26 district and 31 league championships in 59 seasons.

The Lions scored 13 points at regional to tie Olentangy for 23rd behind co-champions Thomas Worthington (37) and Westerville North (37) as 39 teams scored.

Gahanna Christian Roundup

Softball team showed progress late in season

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

First-year Gahanna Christian Academy softball coach Dan McGrath was pleased with his team’s progress despite playing just 10 games because of bad weather.

The Eagles finished 3-7 overall and went 1-6 in the MOCAL to place sixth, behind Grove City Christian (9-0), Madison Christian (7-3), Tree of Life (5-4), Delaware Christian (3-7) and Fairfield Christian (2-7).

Their only MOCAL victory was a 5-4 win over Fairfield Christian on May 7.

Gahanna Christian beat Granville Christian 14-3 in six innings on April 15 and 7-6 in nine innings on May 5.

In the second meeting, junior Gina McGrath drove in the winning run in the ninth with a two-run double.

The Eagles won two of their final three regular-season games, with the setback being a 5-4 loss against Madison Christian on May 9.

“We could have beaten them,” coach McGrath said. “It was a hard fought game. It demonstrated that our team had come a tremendously long way to give a team like Madison all they wanted.”

The Eagles closed the season with a 13-0, five-inning loss to Millersport in the first round of the Division IV district tournament on May 10.

McGrath, who is the team’s top pitcher and the coach’s daughter, was named first-team all-MOCAL as well as the team’s Most Valuable Player.

She led the team in hitting with a .307 average.

Senior Tori Williams (2B) was second-team all-MOCAL, and senior Rachel Leimbach (3B) and sophomore

Hope Leimbach (OF) both were honorable mention all-MOCAL. Other seniors were Brea Carter (OF) and Danielle Huddleston (1B).

Also on the team were juniors Ashlee Carroll (SS), Aliyah Hatcher (OF), Sara Kirk (C) and Tori Tyson (OF) and sophomores Brittney Carroll (OF), Chelsea Lewis (2B), Alyssa Powell (OF) and Hannah Welk (OF).

“I had a lot of fun,” coach McGrath said of the season. “It was a wonderful group of girls to coach.”

•The boys volleyball team finished 3-13 overall and 2-8 in the Central Ohio Volleyball League.

“The record doesn’t look that great on paper, but the reason I’m pleased is most of the matches were close,” coach Nate Kirk said. “We had a few times when we went all five (games).

A lot of our scoring was much higher than it was last year, so we got a

lot more points this year.”

The Eagles lost to St. Charles 257, 25-9, 25-9 in the first round of the Division II regional tournament on May 14.

Gahanna Christian finished fifth in the COVL behind St. Charles (10-0), Watterson (8-2), Whetstone (5-5) and DeSales (4-6) and ahead of Licking Heights (1-9).

The Eagles defeated DeSales 2125, 18-25, 25-18, 25-21, 15-12 on April 12 and Licking Heights 25-14, 25-22, 25-17 on April 18.

Gahanna Christian also defeated Licking Heights 25-21, 25-15 in the Wildcat Classic on April 9 at Westerville South.

Sophomore setter Felix Jefferson was named honorable mention allregion.

The Eagles lose two seniors in Jack Fairall and Thomas Rebovich, a first-

year player.

In addition to Jefferson, expected to return are juniors Tony Maston and Jonathan Visgaitis, sophomores Zeke Jugan and Caleb Walters and freshman Elijah Culberson.

“We have a good group coming back,” Kirk said. “We’re always on the edge with the number of players.

We’re a small school. When you have 55 boys in the whole high school and you have to put a baseball team together and track team, there’s not too many left, so it’s always hard to get the number of players that we need.”

Kirk said that he and his wife, Anna, will coach the girls volleyball team this fall. They are replacing Becky Grubich, who stepped down after one season as coach. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Commentary

Athletes believe sports help them become better people

ThisWeek file photo

Academy coach Mark Barren talks with Vikings ballboys before a game in 2009. Barren died June 9 at the age of 51.

BARREN Continued from page B1

Barren helped form Academy’s boys lacrosse program, which started at the middle school level this spring and won the state championship.

He was also a popular math teacher in Academy’s Upper School.

“Mark is Columbus Academy,” Facciolla said.

“You couldn’t find anybody more passionate about Columbus Academy and our sports programs. He just loved it. He came with a passion that’s just hard to parallel. He loved everything he did.”

Barren was a three-sport standout at Academy. He went on to earn degrees in economics and education from Wittenberg University and a master’s in sports administration from Ohio State, where he was a graduate assistant for the football team under then-coach Earle Bruce, according to Academy’s website.

He later followed in the footsteps of his father, the late Dan Barren, who was an Academy math teacher and the football coach from 1977-84.

Mark Barren’s funeral was held on June 15 at Saint Michael Catholic Church in Worthington.

Burial was private.

Barren and his wife, Jennifer, have three sons, and they all attend Academy. Jennifer teaches in Academy’s Lower School.

mony and congratulated him on his achievement.

Athletics director Dominic Facciolla announced on June 10 that former football coach Jim Collis would return to lead the Vikings. Collis, who also is the school’s baseball coach, guided the football program from 1996-2006 before stepping down and being replaced by Barren.

“I wouldn’t have left the program if I knew that Mark wouldn’t have taken over,” Collis said.

“If I had to give it to someone other than him, I wouldn’t have done it because I needed to have somebody that I knew the program was going to be in good shape with and in good hands.

“Thank God Mark was there at the time and gave me the opportunity to walk away knowing that things were going to be done the right way.”

Barren, who led Academy to postseason berths in 2006 and ’09, was an assistant coach under Collis when the Vikings won the Division V state title in 2003, defeating Amanda-Clearcreek 13-8 in the championship game.

“We’ll come together as a community and find a way to get through this tragedy,” Collis said.

“It’s really affected everybody. It’s bigger than life.

No one can put their arms around why this has fdirenna@thisweeknews.com happened. It’s a tragic thing and difficult times.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Online coverage, updated daily at

For the 17th consecutive summer, I have chosen to ask some of the top central Ohio high school athletes who will be seniors in the fall to share their thoughts on a variety of topics.

Enjoy the summer and enjoy hearing from these talented young people.

As in the past, the first question is: What have sports done in making you the person you are today?

Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “Without sports I wouldn’t be anything near what I am today. Sports keep me very active and I have been that way throughout my life.”

Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “Sports have helped me learn to overcome challenges and adversities. Sports have also shown me that you need to work hard to achieve your goals. For me, sports are a way to form friendships and I have found that teams strengthen bonds between people because you have worked so hard together.”

Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “From sports I have learned discipline and the true value of being selfless. A team can only be successful when no one is concerned with who gets the credit.”

Mary Wells, Westerville South, bowling: “Sports have improved my self-confidence and helped me stay motivated. Also, sports have taught me how to win and lose gracefully and have taught me time management.”

Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Sports have been a benchmark for me in my development. They have created discipline in my life, especially from the mental side of things.

I have learned that you have to work hard to get things done both in the classroom and in sports

workouts.”

Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “Sports have brought out the best in me by allowing me to be competitive. I absolutely love playing soccer and basketball with a passion. I can’t imagine my life LARRY without the opportunity to LARSON compete day in and day out.”

Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “For me it is really simple. Sports have made me a disciplined kid and a hard worker.”

Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Sports have taught me how to discipline myself through practice and dedication. Sports have taught me respect and honor, to honor those greats in front of us and to respect them and their accomplishments. As an athlete, sports make me get up in the morning and they give me something to work for. The conditioning, training and practice have groomed who I am today.”

Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Golf is a lot like life. It has taught me the importance of self-determination, work ethic and honesty.”

Next week, the student-athletes will discuss how they balance practices and games with studying and keeping up their grades.

I’ll see you at a game.

Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio

FAB 5

By Jim Fischer

jfischer@thisweeknews.com pair of pairs of female 1 A artists playing central Ohio in the coming week offers a chance for audiences to have a “saw-herwhen” moment.

Gone-beyond-local singer-songwriter Megan Palmer and her band, The Hopefuls, accompanied by former northeast Ohio resident Ashley Brooke Toussant, will play the Rumba Café Friday, June 17. Both have throwback approaches — Palmer’s touched by the folk idiom and Toussant’s more out of the Tin Pan Alley school.

Call (614) 268-1841.

And be prepared for high levels of alternating tunefulness, cuteness and comedy as Rachel Platten and Bess Rogers bring their respective takes on modern pop songwriting to the Brothers Drake meadery Wednesday, June 22. The duo will perform solo sets and combine their talents as well. Call (614) 388-8675.

Columbus Sympho2 The ny Orchestra’s summer Picnic with the Pops concert series opens this Saturday, June 18,

with special guests the Jazz Ambassadors of the United States Army bands.

Founded in 1969, the Jazz Ambassadors is a touring big band of active military personnel.

Chief Warrant Officer Gordon K. Kippola leads the Jazz Ambassadors — Albert-George Schram, as always, brings his effervescent personality to the CSO podium.

Tickets are $20/$8 for lawn seating. Call (614) 228-8600 for tickets or table seating information.

This concert begins the orchestra’s last summer season on the lawn at Chemical Abstracts Service. Picnic with the Pops moves to the new downtown Columbus Commons starting next summer.

Africa’s The Par3 South lotones are unafraid to twist conventions of modern rock, making things complicated for, say, music writers.

For example, just when you want to call the Johannesburg quartet “Killers-esque,” the next tune requires a whole new comparison.

Tell you what — you head down to The Basement on Saturday, June 18, and check them out for yourself, and make your own comparisons.

The Daylights opens. Tickets are $12. Call 1-800-745-3000.

Trumpeter Pharez Whitted has 4 As has been shown on nu- played plenty of gigs in Colummerous occasions during the run of American Idol, the public doesn’t always get it right.

That said, season nine winner Lee DeWyze seems like a nice guy, is not bereft of talent and is certainly marketable: His contemporary sense of style and Jason Mraz-meets-Bruno Mars adult pop provide built-in audiences.

Columbus hosts the first date of his debut headlining tour.

DeWyze, with opener Corey Crowder, plays The Basement Sunday, June 19.

Tickets are $17. Call 1-800-7453000.

5 Elvis Costello has had a long

career marked by clever, well-crafted and catchy (kitschy?) pop and rock tunes.

Dapper and armed with a wicked wit, Costello has aged well, refusing to succumb to the temptation of self-parody for the sake of appeasing an audience.

He is, however, bringing back an old favorite — the Spectacular Spinning Songbook — for his latest Elvis Costello and the Imposters tour. A spin of the wheel determines the next song in the set list.

The tour stops at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion for an outdoor show Sunday, June 19. Tickets are $45. Call 1-800-745-3000.

bus, so his return to town for this weekend’s Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival — during which he’ll play a gig with modern jazz-hop group Liquid Crystal Project — is a return to the old stomping grounds.

“I loved my time in Columbus, loved the city and the people,” Whitted told The Beat of the seven years he spent here, gigging and teaching jazz studies at Ohio State University. “It’s a beautiful (jazz) scene.”

In 2001, Whitted moved to Chicago to become director of jazz studies at Chicago State University. He continues to gig, especially throughout the Midwest, and recently released his first album in more than a decade.

“I had been playing with some musicians in Chicago and we had developed a sound that was pretty special,” Whitted explained. “I wanted to write some music to sort of put that on display.”

Transient Journey made the jazz charts and earned a nomination for Independent Jazz CD of the Year last year.

The Creekside gig with Liquid Crystal project will feature primarily that group’s music, but Whitted said he hopes to be able to coordinate his bandmates’schedules enough to book a tour in support of Transient Journey.

The Indianapolis, Ind., native came from a musical family (his uncle is trombonist Slide Hampton), and first picked up a trumpet at age 9.

“I found it rummaging through a closet,” he recalled. “It was there, so I grabbed it. My brother, Tommy, played, and he helped me with learning notes and melodies and songs even before I could read music.”

He pursued a career in music after receiving degrees from DePauw University and Indiana University. His playing style was heav-

ily influenced by Freddie Hubbard, whom he befriended and often gigged alongside. He has also played with Nancy Wilson, Clark Terry, Branford Marsalis, Jon Faddis, John Mellencamp and Aretha Franklin — to name a few.

Teacher, composer, performer, recording artist — Whitted doesn’t consider himself one over the other.

“This (all) is what I do. I could-

n’t do without any one of them,” he said.

The Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival will be held June 17-19 in Olde Gahanna. Headline entertainment includes Bill “Watermelon Slim” Homans, James “Super Chikan” Johnson, Pharez Whitted with the Liquid Crystal project and the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. Admission is $3. The event also includes food, vendors, rides and more. Visit www.creeksidebluesandjazz.com.

Deli specials done right at Lexi’s on Third downtown As I stared at a crunchy toast-jacketed, fist-sized stack of juicy pastrami and corned beef sitting next to a pile of crispy fries, I thought about our government’s new dietary guidelines.

Have you heard about this? Evidently that old food pyramid is out, and in is the just-introduced “My Plate” which, we’re now gloomily informed, is supposed to have only one-fourth of its space filled with protein.

With a shrug, I shelved those “My Plate” thoughts into a mental china cabinet of disregard, then ravenously gulped back a massive hunk of that beef-packed sandwich. Its salt, fat and meat-tastic heft hit my slavering tongue and reptile brain like a runaway freight train leaking cole slaw. Instantly, I became glad that, like me, Lexi’s apparently has decided to ignore the un-American government memo.

Lexi’s on Third is a newish casual Downtown player and already one of the better ones. This is clearly due to strong family roots. See, Lexi’s is the sister of Danny’s Deli on Front Street and the daughter of the long-popular Danny’s in

MENU

by G.A. Benton Cleveland.

Fans of the Columbus Danny’s — I qualify — will be happy that Lexi’s has vastly improved on its sibling’s model.

Instead of Danny’s cramped and sealedoff basement atmosphere, Lexi’s is a bright, modern and airy glass cube in the Chase Bank building.

Lexi’s has nice tile, plenty of seating, a wall of windows that offers a view onto the hustle and bustle of Downtown and a rotunda-like smaller space at the rear.

Other upgrades are wine and beer service, longer hours (Danny’s closes at 3 p.m., Lexi’s at 8 p.m.) and a nifty little patio — my preferred perch, weather permitting.

Significantly, what’s unaltered is the meat. Lexi’s offers the same high-grade Danny’s deli-cacies.

Since breakfast is the best deal here,

The Love Connection at Lexi's on Third.

I’ll start there. And you should begin with Lexi’s killer Corned Beef Hash ($5).

It’s an immense and immensely pleasing, nongreasy amalgam of corned beef, spuds and onion griddled to a golden brown and delightfully crinkly on the teeth. It comes with two eggs, and if you’re smart, you’ll pick over-easies and

“sauce” the heavenly hash with punctured yolks.

Eat it, Tweet it and hashtag it #breakfastofchampions.

If instead, you’re going for heartsmart (party pooper), try the creditable Veggie Omelet ($4.50).

Served with excellent home fries, it’s more plant than egg, jammed with huge chunks of mushroom, spinach, peppers, onion and

tomato.

The mammoth sandwich I referred to earlier is a choose-two-meats-and-addSwiss-cheese-and-cole-slaw ensemble called the Love Connection ($10.50).

It’s messy yet wonderful and something to be shared.

But keep your hands off my Roast

Lexi’s on Third Address: 100 E. Broad St., downtown Phone: 614-229-5394 Web: lexisonthird.com Beef Melt. Not because it’s better than the great Love Connection, but because its hot meat, sauteed onions and melted Swiss are more digestible by one person, especially if ordered small or “slim” ($8).

Using thinly shaved (read: easily ripped through) meats and perfectly toasted bread, it’s no surprise that Lexi’s deli sandwiches rock. But Lexi’s also makes good soups ($3), like a marvelous Matzo Ball and an unusual fruity gazpacho; worthy fries ($2) and sweet potato fries ($2.50); plus a surprisingly top-notch Greek salad ($7.50) and Gyro ($5.50, with big knobs of highly seasoned, crisply textured meat.

Toss in a new, lighter and inexpensive happy hour menu (with wings, dips, deli sliders and shrimp in a whiskey-mustard sauce), and summer should be looking pretty good over my plate on Lexi’s patio.

Specialty cake is signature item of relocated bakery in Powell The “dream cake” at the Village Bakery has become a highly sought-after reality for many customers.

“People call me from every state in the U.S. asking for it. There’s just no cake like it,” said NiQui Chatfield, owner of the new spot in Powell.

The base of white cake is layered with fresh raspberries and covered in French vanilla whipped icing, hand-decorated with white chocolate chips.

Cakes must be ordered 48 hours in advance to ensure that fresh fruit can be located.

Chatfield and her husband, Tim, recently relocated the bakery from Granville, where it had been

known as Village Baker for 10 years until they bought the place in December.

She kept the recipes of the original owner and also has added her own creations, such as pecan puffs, gingerbread men, baklava and Mississippi mud pies.

The cold case is filled with selections that change daily, including iced cut-out cookies, scones and cinnamon twists. Village Bakery carries Crimson Cup coffee, a wholesale client. Seating at the bakery is limited to two tables.

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

NiQui Chatfield puts the finishing touches on her “Dream Cake” at Village Bakery on June 10.

The Chatfields moved the store from Granville because of the bakery’s obscure location underneath a pizza parlor, which led to a lack of walk-in business. In addition, many of the bakery’s wholesale accounts were in Franklin County. They plan to return to Granville soon, however, with a retail storefront.

And the expansion plans aren’t done. The couple will open yet another bakery in central Florida because Mr. Chatfield’s business, Progress Academy, an online K-12 school, keeps them in the Sunshine State three months a year.

“We want a mom-and-pop feel to it but we’re working on a process where the recipes are easily duplicated in other stores,” he said.

Over the years, the bakery forged a relationship with Denison University. After graduating and moving away, many of the students — and their families — still yearned for the dream cake, Chatfield said.

“We do not ship it because it’s a refrigerated cake,” she said. “People come from all different states but they’re eating it in Ohio.”

Chatfield said she soon will introduce some savory items, such as ham-and-cheese croissants, mini quiches and fresh-baked breads, the latter of which must be specially ordered.

And she takes special requests.

“I love custom baking,” she said. “Give me a challenge and I’ll figure it out. It’s fun.”

The store is open morning and early afternoon hours six days a week, closed Sunday. For more information, call 740-587-0511.

Daniel Lunsford, who will open the pizzeria with his wife, Dawn, said his intention was to be ready for business by the end of June. Now he doesn’t know when it will happen.

“It’s frustrating,” he said. “I wanted to be open.”

Element, 250 N. Third St., is taking over the old Plugged Nickel location on the north side of downtown. It will specialize in Neapolitan-style pizzas, using hand-tossed dough and fresh produce, Mr. Lunsford said. The place will offer about 10 specialty pizzas, plus a build-your-own section.

Pediatric HealthSource

Heart palpitations are not unusual in children, teens Many children experience a racing, pounding heart or “skipped” heart beats at some point in their lives. Some also report that they can feel these symptoms in their neck.

These are known as heart palpitations. Though these palpitations can be a strange feeling, parents should remember that they are not necessarily an indication of something more serious.

There are a number of factors that may influence someone’s heart rate and rhythm, including exercise, stress, caffeine and certain medications (such as those to treat asthma or heart conditions). Some kids may simply notice their own normal heart rhythm and wonder if it is normal.

Sometimes, though, palpitations can be an indication of an abnormal heart rhythm. The vast majority of these rhythms are not life-threatening in otherwise healthy children.

There are a few types of abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. Tachycardia arrhythmias are charac-

terized by a rapid heart beat, but it is important to realize that a healthy child can easily get his or her NAOMI heart rate above 160 KERTESZ beats per minute with exercise. Sometimes, a heartbeat is simply early.

This is a premature contraction.

Heart arrhythmias can be lifelong or temporary. They can also be congenital, which means that children are born with it.

A child does not have to be born with a heart defect to have a heart arrhythmia. In fact, many children experience arrhythmias and have normally formed hearts.

You should consult you primary care physician if your child experiences palpitations. The physician will evaluate the frequency and intensity of these palpitations, your child’s medical history and that of your family. In many cases, treatment is not necessary.

Here at the Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, our comprehensive care includes a thorough medical history and potentially an electrocardiogram (EKG). In addition, we offer portable monitors that can record your child’s symptoms. These can be worn anywhere from one to 30 days, or only when your child experiences palpitations.

Some of these monitors are the size of credit cards and can be carried in your pocket. They can record a tracing of your child’s heart rhythm, known as an ECG, which can then be shared over the phone with your cardiologist for evaluation.

Our Heart Center is ranked among the best in the country and offers comprehensive care for all kinds of pediatric heart conditions.

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen FEELING OF FULLNESS Some people describe experiencing such an uncomfortable (and even painful) feeling of “fullness” in their ears that they schedule an examination by physician. In some cases, fullness in the ears can be caused by hearing loss, which may be confirmed by an audiogram and may be helped with a hearing instrument. Another diagnosis, “Eustachian tube dysfunction,” may arise from a blocked or malfunctioning Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear with the nasal cavity. It is this tube’s job to equalize the air pressure on either side of the eardrum. When there is less pressure on the inside of the eardrum than outside, the eardrum may cave in slightly, causing the feeling of fullness.

Ear fullness usually resolves after a few days, but it is important to determine its underlying cause and rule out a serious infection. If you are experiencing problems with your ears or hearing, call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation. Many of our patients have discovered that traveling to Gahanna was worth their drive. We are First in Class on Angie List, we beat competitor’s pricing by 25% - 70%, we have the top 10 leading hearing aid brands, and we put our customer’s first. We are located at 1000 Morrison Road Suite H, Gahanna. Come see why patients are willing to make the drive to invest in their hearing. We look forward to hearing from you.

We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!
