Mobile eateries concern CAC chairman By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Will street food vendors leave brickand-mortar restaurants starving for customers? Clintonville may be about to find out, according to area commission chairman John DeFourny. “I’ve had some requests,” he said.
DeFourny first raised the issue of food carts setting up shop in the vicinity of, and siphoning potential customers away from, restaurants in buildings that aren’t going anywhere soon John DeFourny at the June 2 CAC meeting. It came up during the discussion regarding Patty-
cake Bakery owner Jennie Scheinbach’s proposal to open a vegan restaurant, City Beet Café, at 3003 N. High St. She was seeking the commission’s blessing to do so with no on-site parking, and she got it in a 7-1 vote. DeFourny cast the lone no vote because, he said at the time, a ruling on something as precedent-setting as zero parking for a business should be made by individuals
who are “a pay grade above us.” The area commission chairman elaborated last week on some of the issues he sees regarding mobile food vendors. “They can drain hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars of the available food market,” DeFourny said. “These are low-rent coming and competing with the high-rent, higher-employee, fixed-building, and that’s one of the concerns.
“The issue arose with me in the University District a year ago, because that’s when it went from one or two to where you could see a dozen.” “Mobile food businesses have exploded onto the Columbus dining scene over the past six months, and the trend doesn’t appear to be letting up any time soon,” acSee MOBILE EATERIES, page A2

Jeff Brewer, who goes to church in his Clintonville neighborhood but works at an office supply store in the Northland area, won’t be in either community June 25 through July 4. He’ll be in Athens. Not the one in the rolling hills of southeastern Ohio. The Goodwill Columbus athlete will be in Athens, Greece, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Brewer will be one of 7,500 athletes from 185 countries participating in the 2011 Special Olympics World Games, held in the white marble Panathinaiko Stadium. Panathinaiko was the primary stadium for the first modern Olympics in 1896 and was a venue when the games returned to Athens in 2004. Brewer, 37, specializes in the pentathalon, which in Special Olympics involves a 100-

Clothing line seeks to celebrate Ohio By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Why didn’t I think of that? If the Clintonville-based startup clothing company State Line makes a go of it, lots of people are going to be smacking themselves upside the head and asking that very question. Co-founder Jake Devine last week recalled the spark of inspiration that led him and Kelly
Cousins to spend months of planning and design prior to launching State Line late last month. It was late one evening and Devine said that he was talking on the phone with a friend while chancing to glance at a map of the Buckeye State. It was obviously something the Columbus native had seen countless times before, but something about it struck him See CLOTHING LINE, page A5

MOBILE EATERIES Continued from page A1 cording to a Sept. 24 story on the website of The Metropreneur, which bills itself as “your online resource for all things related to small business development and entrepreneurialism in central Ohio.” “Viewed as a less risky investment for newcomers, or an easy supplement to those with an existing eatery, area food-truck vendors cited startup costs ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, a fraction of the average cost to launch a brick-and-mortar bistro,” according to a recent article on the website newyorkstreetfood.com titled “Even Columbus, Ohio, Is Getting into the Gourmet Food Truck Scene.
“These are more than carts,” DeFourny said. Some mobile eateries operate out of vehicles the size of UPS delivery trucks, he added. “Sizes can range from smaller towable food carts, which can run for as little as $2,000 to $3,000, up to the larger, fully equipped food trucks that can run $100,000 or more,” The Metropreneur story stated. “They’re able to park right in the sweet spots right when the night life is breaking up around 11 or 12,” DeFourny said. If a nearby fast-food or other eatery were to lose “$300 or $700 or $1,000 a night,” the CAC chairman suggested, it might lead to staff members being laid off, earlier closing hours and potentially
the established establishment going out of business. “And the building goes vacant,” DeFourny said. City regulations regarding food carts and mobile restaurants, the chairman, a real estate broker, went to describe as “extremely easy,” permitting them to be set up in front of office buildings and in the parking lots of convenience stores and gas stations. They must be removed and stored out of sight, DeFourny added. “Enforcement is below … priority,” he said. “What would arise here if we started having mobile restaurant trucks kind of parking permanently in some of these commercial strips, that might not be the direction Clintonville wants to go,” DeFourny concluded.

Continued from page A1 Continued from page A1 yard dash, running long jump, shot put and 400-meter dash. He also runs in the 4 by 100-meter relay. “I like the 100,” Brewer said last week as he prepared for yet another in a long series of training sessions at the Goodwill Columbus headquarters on Edgehill Road and at the nearby Grandview Heights High School trackand-field facility. Brewer earned two silver medals in those events last summer at the Special Olympics 2010 National Games in Lincoln, Neb. Steve Weaver, Brewer’s coach and mentor at Goodwill Columbus, said last week it was just after the 2010 games that he was asked if his athlete would be capable of representing the United States at the 2011 World Games. Heck, yes, was Weaver’s opinion, but he had to ask Brewer’s family. Weaver got the call inquiring if Brewer would be up to an overseas trip just as their plane was landing in Columbus, and there was precious little time to make the decision. When he broke the news to Brewer’s waiting relatives, one of his aunts broke down in tears. “His aunt just started bawling, which almost got me started bawling,” Weaver said. Brewer lives with his younger brother, Gary, in Clintonville. Their parents are both deceased, their mother just last year from colon cancer, Jeff Brewer said. “The trip will require Brewer to take some time off work and his community obligations,” according to an announcement from Goodwill Columbus. Brewer works at the Staples store in the Karl Plaza on East Dublin-Granville Road, cleaning the restrooms, stocking shelves and helping customers. “I told one of my bosses on Monday (about the Athens trip), and he said, ‘That’s good, have a good time,’” Brewer said. He worships at Crestview Presbyterian Church on East Tulane Road, where he has been in the choir, he said, since April 1999. He assists a classroom of secondgraders with reading and helps clean the church. “Jeff also has volunteered his time to help the homeless by working locally at the Faith Mission,” the Goodwill announcement stated. “I will be doing my best at the world games, knowing all my family and friends in Columbus will be cheering me,” Brewer was quoted as saying. “I put a lot of pressure on Jeff, and he always comes through and performs,” coach Weaver said last week. “He is a joy to train.” And he’s been getting a lot of training, Weaver added; they’ve been working together three days a week since January to get Brewer ready for Special Olympics World Games. Weaver said he has high hopes for Brewer to do well at the Games. “Because I know what he’s capable of,” the coach added. The goal of the athletic program at Goodwill Columbus is to give young people with various types of disabilities a “high school athletic experience,” Weaver said. Goals are set for each of the Goodwill Columbus Gladiators, and they hold team meetings and an awards banquet. “We literally work from the ground up,” Weaver said. “We try to have as much fun as possible.” Team USA will consist of 300 athletes from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Goodwill announcement. Also representing Ohio will be Amanda Gump from the Special Olympics program in Wood County. “The things I have done at Goodwill and with Special Olympics have helped me to be more outgoing, develop a sense of accomplishment and take pride in doing my best while working toward this goal,” Brewer was quoted as saying in the announcement. Before the Athens games begin, Brewer will spend June 20-24 with fellow United States Special Olympians, staying with host families in nearby Rhodes. “There he will train, taste traditional cuisine and experience Greek sporting, cultural and artistic events,” according to Goodwill. Brewer said he plans to take some buckeyes with him as presents for his host family, in keeping with a Greek tradition.
lower than that of commercial galleries. Inclusion in a Roy G Biv exhibition is often the opportunity that an emerging artist needs to make the step up to gain commercial gallery representation.” “I am thrilled to host such a great event,” The Gangway owner Stephanie Bair-Garant wrote in an e-mail. “Anchored between a photography studio and a skateboard shop, what used to be a walkway between two buildings has often been referred to by neighbors as the world’s smallest retail space,” according to the website of The Gangway. “It’s a sweet little space,” Matuszak said. But just a little crowded, she added, for showing the works of 22 artists in celebration of the gallery’s 22nd year of existence.
‘Roy’ artists in June 17 exhibition The following artists will have their works featured in the “Roy Goes to Clintonville” fundraiser and exhibition on June 17 from 7 to 10 p.m. at The Gangway, 3341 N.

That’s why the photo studio’s workshop space, a nearby driveway and a patio area in the rear will be used for Roy Goes to Clintonville.

Music, food, raffles, a silent auction and “surprises” are promised in the poster for the event. “New ideas and new voices
are what keeps the art community vital and exciting, and keeps also what is happening fresh feeling,” Matuszak said. “We are really proud of what we can do for our artists with prime High Street space and a nice glass storefront, but we’re hoping we can kind of encourage other places, other businesses to do the same … to

Sponsors for the evening are The Gangway; Fulcrum Creatives print, design and web support services; Small Business Beanstalk; Zauber Brewing, a new local microbrew; and Shout Out Loud, local screen printers. “We are also currently working with numerous local restaurants to provide appetizers for the evening, in addition to the variety of local businesses that will be providing raffle items,” Matuszak wrote in an e-mail. Roy G Biv also receives grant support from the Columbus Foundation, Ohio Arts Council and Greater Columbus Arts Council for the annual exhibition seasons.

As it were
Dance styles may change, but objections seldom do I was reminded recently of the subjective nature of taste in matters social. An acquaintance remarked to me after observing the gyrations of the young at a local concert, “It would certainly be nice if people simply danced the way they once did.” By this, I will hazard the presumption that he meant he would like to see the return of a time when all of America was dancing properly and politely. The problem is, of course, that the definition of “proper and polite” is something of a moving target. To illustrate this point, a brief return to life in Columbus a century ago might be instructive. A reporter for a local paper noted, with a mixture of interest and disdain, that a new dance had arrived in the city sometime in mid-1911. Within a few short weeks, most of the younger people who frequented local dance halls were trying their best to do the dance. It all went something like this: “Will you grizzly bear with me?” Remarkably, the young lady asked that question did not take offense, but rather answered with, “Sorry, the grizzlies are all taken, but there is a turkey trot coming that you may have.” The young man then made a note to return for a dance a little later in the evening. “He drew a silver pencil from the pocket of his low-cut vest, scratched her name on a memorandum, (programs, you know, are taboo at fashionable dancing parties) as the staccato notes of a new 6-8 ‘rag’floated from the orchestra, conventionally concealed behind the conventional palms, which conventional society provides when it sets out to do the uncon-
ventional thing.” And what exactly was this unconventional thing? “As the music moved to cadences ED akin to the tomLENTZ tom that announces the approach of crested warriors in the war dance, the partners stood visa-vis with arms in the air, slightly clasped. Close they stood and shifted the weight of their body, first from one foot to the other, stepping first to the right and then to the left., so that in reality, they hardly moved from their first position. Then as the music moved to another phrase, the couple slowly started to turn in a circle, swaying their heads from side to side. There is a bit of two-step glide and then the whole thing is repeated.”
After observing all of this, a more detailed description of the dance was sought from one “Alviene, master of the dance to the Gould family” of New York and elsewhere: “It begins with one two-step measure, danced to one side, and a second two-step measure, danced to the other. Then, clasped with uplifted hands, the dancers take four half-time steps in a circle. It is this move of the dance which is its distinguishing feature and from which the name was derived, for the motion, combined with the uplifted arms, reminds one of the pictures of a grizzly bear rearing up and advancing to meet its enemy. After the half-time stops, the two-step measure follows again, and then the grizzly bear motion is repeated.” And where in Columbus might See AS IT WERE, page A7

Clothing line seeks to celebrate Ohio’s diversity with a tee Continued from page A1 differently on this occasion. “I just happened to notice that Ohio already has the look of an old pocket T-shirt that has started to sag,” Devine said. State Line’s line of clothing is a pocket tee, with the pocket, “fully functional” as a press release noted, in the shape of Ohio. “State Line appeals to a diverse crowd,” the State Line announcement stated. “The design range encompasses familiar scarlet and gray, austere blackon-black, classic whites and grays, and vibrant blues and greens. Some pockets are contrasting; others are distinguished by a unique backing that outlines the familiar shape of the Ohio state outline.” Devine, according to co-founder Cousins, who grew up in Toledo, has a background in the fashion industry — he has “long dealt in high-end luxury goods,” the press release noted. Cousins is a former director of the Short North’s Mahan Gallery. Together, their backgrounds have “contributed significantly to the thoroughness and detail-mindedness of the production,” according to the announcement. “After months of planning, design and preparation, the founders partnered with Cleveland-born OSU grad Dr. Dan Kim in December 2010,” the press release offered. “Kim is currently completing his medical residency and is also a partner in the charitable and illuminating Candle with a Cause start-up.” The State Line shirts, currently only available for men and women but with children’s versions and even tank tops in the plans down the road, cost $26. For the Hanes pocket tee crowd, that might seem a little steep, but the State Line founders said that they decided against having their clothing line pro-

That approach, Devine said, would have required a great deal more capital to start the enterprise while at the same time limiting the color selection available for customers. “Choosing to forgo factory production enabled the team to provide a significantly more hands-on localized approach to production, which is apparent in the extremely limited-run nature of the 500 ‘State Line Handmade’ hand-numbered shirts produced,” according to the press announcement. “Obviously, Ohio is very diverse,” Cousins said, and producing only a few pocket T-shirts in a wide array of colors is intended to reflect that. “In a lot of ways, we wanted to let our audience inform us what they wanted,” Devine said. So far, according to Cousins, younger people tend to embrace the brighter colors while more mature customers are more drawn to the subtler ones. “You can still be proud, but it’s a little toned down,” she said. “A lot of people seemed really taken aback that it’s an actual functional pocket,” Devine said. “Almost everyone has asked if we’re going to expand to other states,” Cousins added. “Ohio really is, I think, about the only state that has the correct shape and state pride … in order to really pull this off,” Devine said. “You could make the case for Texas, but that would be a really strange pocket.” Cousins said that she hopes State Line’s becomes a “classic, iconic T-shirt” like the “I Love New York” and “Virginia Is for Lovers.” “Ohio doesn’t have that shirt,” she said. Make that, Ohio didn’t have that shirt. More information is available at www.statelineohio.com. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

BEAT THE HEAT!
June 16, 2011
(variance and zoning) committee can see if the request is consistent with the CNP or if there are mitigating circumstances. The results would then be a part of the recommendation the V&Z committee makes to the CAC. “We recommend that this checklist be incorporated into the V&Z approval process as soon as possible.” The commission voted to adopt the recommendation at the June meeting. “Part of the checklist that’s in the Clintonville Neighbored Plan asks if your design is consistent with the neighborhood that you’re developing or remodeling in,” Cipiti said last week. “We really wanted to a void adding another layer of bureaucracy or an additional process to what the commission is doing.” By the same token, the District 5 representative said, the concept of a formal architectural review process, which is in
place in several parts of the city, isn’t completely dead. “This is really just a jumping off point for us,” Cipiti said. “We intend to work with variance and zoning and (chairwoman) Sandy Simbro to see if there are other ways we can work with owners and developers. … Where it goes from here, we’re open. We wanted to get something in the works.” CAC chairman John DeFourny agreed. “I think that we will continue to look at commercial architectural review to give to zoning and variance ideas as to what to look to try to keep out,” he said. “There are still plenty of standards they have to go by,” DeFourny added. The recommendation to incorporate the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan into the checklist developers receive at the start of
the process comes after many months of studying architectural review procedures elsewhere in Columbus. “I did not realize that some area commissions were given architectural review authority when they were created,” Cipiti said. “Others had to apply for it and have it approved for them by city council.” The latter approach was taken most recently by the University Area Commission, and the process took as long as two years, according to the planning and development co-chairman. The process for Clintonville might take even longer and would probably be even more complicated, according to Cipiti. “Clintonville has so many different sub-neighborhoods, if you will, and trying to keep architectural consistency there would be a matter of getting the busi-
ness community to sign onto it,” Cipiti said. “What we would have to do is create architectural standards for each of those pocket areas, get the business community to sign on and then get Columbus City Council to approve.” The Clintonville Neighborhood Plan, on the other hand, has already been adopted by council, Cipiti pointed out. “We didn’t realize that this checklist really is law, so there is something that is standardized,” he said. “As part of our due diligence, we spoke with and had speakers address the (planning and development) committee who represented local developers, other area commissions and the city of Columbus,” Folmar and Cipiti wrote in their report. “Our goal was to hold developers and owners accountable for the
design and appearance of their projects. In addition, we sought an efficient manner to do this without adding additional committees or processes to the CAC. “The committee decided early on that we would deal only with commercial properties on the major roads such as High Street and Indianola. We learned from our due diligence that while it is best to have standards for construction and appearance, it is also important to be somewhat flexible in our requirements. In this way, we can have some control over the appearance of our main streets without discouraging new businesses from coming into Clintonville.” “I think there’s a demand for higher standards,” DeFourny said. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

‘Movies in the Park’ returning in July In the 1986 sequel “Poltergeist II: The Other Side,” little Carol Ann turns back from the television set this time and says, “They’re back.” It’s not good news for the other characters in the film. For people who enjoyed last summer’s “Movies in the Park” event hosted by Clintonville Rotary, there’s good news. They’re back. “We are thrilled to bring back the Movies in the Park for the second year, responding to the interest and demand from the Clintonville area,” Donna Leigh-Osborne, Clintonville Rotary president, said in a statement announcing the return of the service club project. “It is just another way for us to encourage participation and engagement among some of our best assets, our neighbors and Whetstone Park.” The first of the two films on tap this summer will be shown on Saturday, July 9. It will be “Despicable Me,” the animated adventure-comedy
Page A7
from 2010 featuring the voice talents of Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand and Julie Andrews. The second movie will be 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” Harrison Ford’s first of many turns as the intrepid scholar-adventurer Indiana Jones. The showings, free and open to the public, will begin each night around dusk, approximately 8:45, according to the Rotary Club announcement. The screenings take place on a 28-foot screen set up Whetstone Park’s lower soccer fields. Complimentary refreshments are provided. Donations are accepted. Those attending should bring a chair or blanket, bug spray and a flashlight. “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” from 1971 and the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz” were shown during the inaugural Movies in the Park last July. The Clintonville Rotary was established in 2009. More information is available at www.clintonvillerotary.org.

one be found dancing the grizzly? Apparently, it would not be in the better places in town. “Over the entrance of every firstclass dancing academy in the city and all respectable dancing halls are signs to the general effect: ‘The turkey trot, the tanglefoot, the grizzly bear and the tango absolutely forbidden on this floor.’ Ask any Columbus teacher of the dance whether he gives instruction in them and he answers with a flash, “I should say not!’” Seeking to find out how this sort of dance came to Columbus, our intrepid reporter got probably more explanation than he wanted from one C. P. Layman, a local dance instructor. “The Chicago World’s Fair (of 1893),” he says, “brought to this country one of the most discussed. It was the beginning of muscle dancing in this country. A little later, the Salome dance, of this same general variety, was seen upon the operatic stage. “Now these dances are always satirized by the burlesque performers, who use their wits and
bodies in vaudeville and cheap entertainments frequented by people of the Bowery and kindred districts in cities outside New York. The burlesquer adds something of his own to the dance he imitates, some grotesque feature that makes it funny. Then in the cheap dance halls of New York’s East Side, these dances are adapted to the floor and are danced with partners, while the stage dance is often a solo affair. From the Bowery, society, for some unaccountable reason adopts them.” Having now learned of the origins of modern dance — such as it was — from the World’s Fair belly dancing of Little Egypt to the gyrations of the Grizzly Bear, it was now necessary to find someone to blame for bringing it to Columbus. When in doubt, blame the college kids: “The grizzly bear is one of the latest unconventional dances that young people, particularly those in college or just out of its classic influence, or those who frequent the East, have introduced here.” But young people wishing to
find a place to dance the grizzly were likely to be disappointed. “Being practical men, the dancing teachers of Columbus take only a business stand on the issue of these dances, which they bar from their floors. ‘We can’t permit them and run respectable places,’they say, ‘and we depend on respectable people for our business. The people who want to do these dances are good spenders, but we have to deny them the privilege of our floors.” Then as now, it was not the dancer but the dance. “It is known, however, that there are halls in the city where, occasionally, the grizzly bear, the turkey trot and some of the rest are danced in all their glory and lack of grace.” Almost wistfully, our reporter concludes by noting, “The barn dance long since has lost its vogue, although some of its variations were decidedly pretty and attractive.” And for whatever its worth — they still are. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Job fair for veterans coming to Ohio Stadium on June 23 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

Huff ‘tickled’ Cultice taking over Eagles By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Mike Huff wanted to leave his program in good hands after retiring as coach of the Watterson High School softball team at the conclusion of the 2011 season to spend more time with his family. He couldn’t be happier that 1997 Watterson graduate Tracey Cultice was named as his successor on June 2. Cultice played catcher at Watterson from 1994-97, coached the Eagles’
summer team in 2000, served as Huff’s assistant from 2002-04, and has taught physical education at the school in the summer the past five years. “I’m very excited for Tracey and our program because she already knows the school, the program and its tradition, and she will do an outstanding job,” said Huff, who led the Eagles to 313 wins and eight CCL titles in 23 seasons. “I’m tickled that a former player and assistant coach is taking over the position and I can’t wait to help her with her transition of becoming our
head coach. I think Tracey will do some really great things.” Cultice has an extensive background as a player and coach. As a senior at Watterson, she helped lead the Eagles to a CCL title and a Division I district final, where they lost to Grove City 2-0, and was named honorable mention all-district and firstteam all-CCL. Cultice then played three seasons of soccer and softball at Otterbein University, where she made first-team all-academic Ohio Athletic Confer-
ence in softball as a senior before graduating with degrees in athletic training and sports and wellness management in 2001. She earned a teaching certificate from Ashland University in 2005. After coaching at Watterson for two seasons, she served as an assistant coach at Otterbein from 2004-09. While earning a master’s degree in education from Ashland, Cultice took a two-year break from coaching, but she is eager to get back on the field next year.
“I had the itch to get back into coaching because I really missed being around the girls,” she said. “This is a great opportunity and returning to Watterson seems like a natural fit for me because I’ve stayed involved with the school over the years. I’m going to use my background and experience in softball to teach the fundamentals to the girls and make sure they enjoy themselves and have the same passion for the game that I have.” See COACH, page B2
Commentary
Athletes learn through sports 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. LARRY As in the LARSON 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 without the opportunity to 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

Watterson coach Dan Bjelac talks to his team following the Eagles’ 21-7 victory over Elida in a Division III, Region 10 semifinal last season. The Eagles, who went on to defeat Akron Buchtel 13-12 for the state title, will have several new starters this fall on offense and defense.

Watterson sticking with game plan By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Other than the slight misstep the Watterson High School football team had when it turned the ball over six times during the Division III state championship game last season, it perfected the hard-nosed, grind-itout approach that has signified its program the last several years. For the Eagles, building off a 13-1 season in which they beat Akron Buchtel 13-12 for the state title means returning to those principles this summer.
“I think our kids got very comfortable with the packages we ran on both sides of the ball last year,” coach Dan Bjelac said. “You try to preach that you have to be tough no matter what. You want to try to get them to buy into what you’re doing.” In addition to the charge Bjelac believes his program received from winning its second state title, the Eagles should enter the coming season with confidence that they can move the ball. Even with new starters at quarterback, wide receiver and

most spots on its offensive line, Watterson has a head start with its running game. Mario Dean and Isaiah Murray enter their senior seasons after rushing for 285 and 342 yards, respectively, last season. Patrick Bookman, who enters his junior year after rushing for 102 yards and one touchdown
last season, also returns at running back. Andy Elberson will begin his junior season as the favorite to take over for quarterback Patrick Rhomberg, a 2011 graduate who passed for more than 1,300 yards and rushed for nine touchdowns last season. Elberson passed for 85 yards and rushed for 61 in limited action last fall. “I don’t think there’s any particular area of strength coming back, but I feel OK about our running situation,” Bjelac said. “Our offseason overall is going pretty solid. We’ve got a lot of
CCL roundup, page B2 kids who are working hard, but it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t keep doing that. You’re always trying to learn some things and tweak some things.” The Eagles likely will spend much of the summer piecing together a new defense after several key players, including T.J. Gilles, Hunter Maynard, Matt Redfield and Brad McCurdy, graduated. Maynard signed with Bowling Green in See FOOTBALL, page B2

Four area players chosen in MLB draft By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Phil Klein, a 2007 Gahanna graduate who went on to excel as a pitcher at Youngstown State, was one of four central Ohio players chosen in the Major League Baseball amateur See LARSON, page B2 draft, which was held June 6-8.
Four players who competed in high school baseball in central Ohio were selected in the Major League Baseball draft on June 6-8. R.L. Eisenbach, a 2006 Newark Catholic graduate, was taken in the 23rd round by the San Diego Padres with the 713th pick. A 6foot, 180-pound left-handed pitcher, Eisenbach played on Division IV state championship teams at Newark Catholic in 2004 and 2006. Jason King, a 2007 Dublin Jerome graduate, was selected in the fourth round by the Detroit Tigers with the 137th selection. A third baseman, King also was picked by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 48th round in 2007, but he opted to attend Kansas State. Phil Klein, a 2007 Gahanna graduate, was taken in the 30th round (924th overall) by the defending American League champion Texas Rangers. The 6-7, 230pound right-hander had been pitching at Youngstown State. Ben Thomas, a 2007 Westerville Central graduate, was drafted by
the World Series champion San Francisco Giants in the 34th round (1,047th overall). The 6-1, 240pound first baseman had been playing at Xavier. Eisenbach, who originally made a college commitment to Buffalo, posted a 14-2 record and 1.48 ERA this spring as a senior at Faulkner University in Montgomery, Ala. He led the nation in victories, limiting opponents to a .165 batting average as the Eagles advanced to the NAIA World Series for the first time. Eisenbach, who also played at Grayson County (Texas) Community College and Lubbock (Texas) Christian, was named the Southern States Athletic Conference’s Pitcher of the Year. Eisenbach is the first player from Newark Catholic to be drafted since Doug Wollenburg and Mark Mesewicz were picked in 1992.

As often has been the case over the years, the CCL can lay claim to the cliché that it might be small, but it most definitely is mighty. Hartley and Watterson are coming off state championships in Divisions IV and III, respectively, and DeSales (Division III) and St. Charles (Division II) also made the playoffs. Ready endured its first losing season since 1998 last fall, but all six of its losses came against opponents that won at least eight regular-season games. In this installment of the Friday Night Live: Spring Edition, we’ll examine the conference from central Ohio that has the fewest number of teams but has as rich of a tradition as any throughout the area, if not the state. Can the defending state championship teams again put together long postseason runs after losing many of the standouts who led their teams a year ago? DeSales would seem to have enough returning players to improve on a season in which it made the postseason for a statebest 17th consecutive time but also was dealt its first losing season since 1974. St. Charles lost its final five games after a 5-0 start last season, but the opponents it beat went a combined 30-19 during the regular season to propel it into the playoffs for the first since 2002. Can the Cardinals build off last season and finally find some success against DeSales or Watterson in the CCL-Silver Division? Ready couldn’t overcome a young team or a series of injuries last season and finished 4-5 overall. Will the Silver Knights bounce back after a season in which they lost to Hartley for the CCL-Gold title for the first time since 2006?

in CCL-Gold Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: Third in Division IV, Region 15 •Outlook: When asked last December to reflect on his team’s run to the Division IV state championship, coach Brad Burchfield said his players rallied around one another after two regular-season losses and didn’t “fracture.” Despite losing a 16-member senior class that included the state’s co-Player of the Year in running back Noah Key, Burchfield has seen that same attitude throughout the offseason. “I’ve got real good leadership,” said Burchfield, whose team beat Chagrin Falls 34-13 in the Division IV state final on Dec. 3 in Massillon’s Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. “Our kids have worked hard and bought into what we’ve been trying to do.” Replacing a player like Key would be daunting for any program. Last fall, the University of Toledo-signee rushed for 2,885 yards and 42 touchdowns on 338 carries, had three interceptions and averaged nearly 17 yards on kickoff returns. He is one of five players expected to play collegiately from the 2011 class along with two-way linemen Malcolm Branch (West Virginia State), Jordan Dickerson (West Virginia State) and Evan Jackson (Ohio Dominican) and wide receiver/defensive back Omar Lane (Tiffin). Quarterback Austin Underwood, twoway lineman Joey Moore and linebacker Drake Jones also graduated after helping the Hawks finish 13-2 last season. Still, figuring out how to score points isn’t something Burchfield considers a concern as the Hawks’ summer heats up. Jarrod Zang enters his senior season after rushing for 1,039 yards and six touchdowns last fall, while Ja’Waun Woodley will be a junior who rushed for 305 yards and four scores. Marcellus Calhoun, a classmate of Woodley’s, rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns last fall. One portion of the summer Burchfield is looking forward to is when he’ll

Watterson finished 10-16 overall this spring, losing to third-seeded Groveport 3-2 in a Division I district semifinal. The Eagles, who have never won a district title, finished last in the CCL at 1-5, behind champion DeSales (6-0). Watterson lost three senior starters in Maggie Maloney (C), Annie Truelove (P/1B) and Maggie Zych (CF). Truelove, who was named first-team all-district and second-team CCL, batted .400 with two home runs and 19 RBI. Zych, who had six triples and 13 stolen bases, was honorable mention all-district.

The Eagles, who open Aug. 26 at Pickerington North, are expected to compete in four 7on-7 competitions in July. Once the summer began, Watterson increased its conditioning and lifting times as it has for the last several seasons. “I think in the game of foot-
ball, lifting is always a big part of it,” Bjelac said. “But we also want to focus a lot on flexibility and core strength. Lateral movement is just as important as the game has gotten faster.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Ready •Coach: Larry Wolf, 14th season •2010 record: 4-6 overall, 0-1 (second) in CCL-Gold Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 21st in Division V, Region 20 •Outlook: The youth movement that was forced on the Silver Knights last season has continued this offseason. Although some of what was a large and talented freshman class won’t be playing the sport as sophomores, the team’s strength still rests in their younger classes after they lost only 11 players to graduation. That has put a sense of urgency into offseason workouts for Ready, which is coming off a 4-6 record for its first losing season since 1998. In addition to spending significant time teaching the sport to the program’s younger players, coach Larry Wolf and his staff have spent time during the offseason figuring out how to shore up a defense that struggled last season. After the Silver Knights won their first two games, they gave up an average of 37.3 points in their six losses. By season’s end, freshmen Kelly Culbertson (S) and Patrik Garren (DT) each were starters. Junior Brandon Gutheil, who played tight end last fall, is a player Wolf hopes can provide leadership on the defensive line. The biggest bright spot as Ready puts together its offense over the coming weeks is that quarterback Bo Hardy and kicker John Wright should be among the returnees. Hardy enters his senior year after passing for 1,043 yards in his first season as the starter. Wright, who also will be a senior, finished with 42 points and made special mention all-district. Those two players should help Ready compensate for the loss of 2011 graduate Demetrius Clark, who rushed for 1,233 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Kreuzer (LF/P) and Madeline Simmonds (SS) and sophomores Katey Bell (RF), Kayla Cook (3B/P) and Audrey Manahan (C/2B).

Kreuzer batted .284 with a home run and 18 RBI. “Mike dedicated his life to Watterson softball and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him,” Cultice said. “I want to continue building on the foundation that Mike has built, and continue winning and being successful.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

a rapid heart beat, but it is important to realize that a healthy child can easily get his or her heart rate NAOMI above 160 beats per KERTESZ 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.
Clintonville/Beechwold
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. Dr. Naomi Kertesz is director of electrophysiology and pacing at the Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an associate professor of pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Thanks Susie. Hey Bob? Where did you get that brand new black Chrysler 200? LOOKS JUST LIKE THE ONE EMINEM IS DRIVING!
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Bob Caldwell... Did they treat you right?
I love this Chrysler 200. I just got it at Bob Caldwell.
Did you get a good deal? I heard something about a “Leave Your Wallet at Home” Sale...
I got an UNBELIEVABLE deal! I leased it with no money down and it was only $269/mo +tax!
ABSOLUTELY!
They sure did. It was a very easy process - The whole sales department treated me GREAT.
Do you know if they have other great deals going on with other vehicles?
Their lot was full of Minivans, Trucks, Jeeps and a lot of low-priced, brand-new sporty cars. You should go visit them and get something for yourself....
