‘Revamp the Ramp’
Civic groups combining forces By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Three against one. It hardly seems fair. Nevertheless, volunteers and leaders from three different civic groups will be gathering on Saturday, June 25, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Interstate 71 ramps to Cooke Road to remove trash and debris. This would represent the opening
salvo in a “Revamp the Ramp” project originally proposed by Northland Community Council vice president Emmanuel V. Remy, but now encompassing the North Linden and Clintonville area commissions. “We’re hoping to get people from both sides of the ramp to come out and work to clean up the area,” Remy said last week. CAC chairman John DeFourny announced the cleanup project at last-
week’s monthly meeting, and said that he intended to be on hand that day. “Please come join me,” DeFourny said. “It’s an exciting project,” said James R. Blazer II of the Clintonville Area Commission. “I think it’s going to be a real enhancement to the community.” Blazer said that he, Remy and Tony Howard of the North Linden Area Commission have met with Ohio Department of Transportation officials regarding
the proposed landscaping improvement to not only the Cooke Road interchange but also possibly the ones at North Broadway and Weber Road. The ODOT representative indicated some state funding might be available for such an endeavor, Blazer said, adding that the civic group members involved in the project will also be seeking backing from corporations and individuals. While no “Adopt-a-Ramp” program exists that parallels ODOT’s Adopt-a-
Highway litter cleanup effort, Blazer said that such a concept is under consideration. “We still have a lot of work to do before we can get the physical construction part going,” Remy said. He said that a volunteer landscape architect is being sought to devise a scheme for plantings to spruce up the Cooke Road ramps, a necessary step in order See CIVIC GROUPS, page A2

Newest CRC community garden open for business By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Everything was just right for the Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center, St. James Episcopal Church and Columbus Foundation to combine forces and create a new community garden. Now, if only the weather will cooperate, with enough sun and enough rain, everything will be just right to help feed the hungry of Clintonville. A groundbreaking service for what’s being called the Garden of Eatin’, the fourth and newest community garden for the CRC, took place May 21, followed by two hours of planting the next afternoon. Last week, CRC basic needs supervisor Beth Stewart-McGee, some of the volunteers helping to nurture the Garden of Eatin’ and the Rev. Lynn Carter-Edmands, rector at St. James Episcopal Church, gathered at the Calumet Street site to review progress. Jean Byrd, a volunteer who helped plan
Despite being cautioned that they might be setting a precedent, Clintonville Area Commission members voted 7-1 last week to support a new vegan restaurant that would have fewer than the required 23 parking spaces. As in none. “This one is difficult at best because we have never been asked to do zero,” zoning and variance committee chairwoman Sandy Simbro said in opening discussion on the proposed City Beet Café at 3003 N. High St. “The project … proposes to turn the existing office space into a one-of-a-kind eating establishment in Clintonville with a strong commitment to healthy living and nourishing food,” according to the statement of hardship from local architect Tim Lai on behalf of Jennie Scheinbach, owner of the nearby Pattycake Bakery. The proposal would eliminate a curb cut and five drivein spaces in front of the building, which was built in 1938 and has been a restaurant on several different occasions. Three new on-street spaces would be created along North High Street by placing a curb in front of the structure, and one more on-street space would be added on West See CAC BACKS REQUEST, page A2
Split vote by CAC seeks reduction of speed limit By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A divided Clintonville Area Commission last week narrowly approved sending a letter to city officials requesting a reduction in the speed limit on a stretch of North High Street where a local woman lost her life in a March 15 crash. “Recently there was a horrible accident on North High Street involving a speeding driver and a local resident that resulted in death,” the letter, which came out of the planning and development committee, states. Molly Palsgrove Davis, who taught fifth grade at Cassingham Elementary School in Bexley, died from injuries sustained in the 4:48 p.m. accident at the intersection of East Torrence Road and North High Street.

Realtors to show they care on June 15 By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Realtors care. They care about commissions and listings and housing prices and the housing market, and they care about the communities in which they live and work. Members of the North Area Real Estate Association will be putting that caring on display Wednesday, June 15, when they participate in the annual “Realtor Care Day” put on by the Columbus Board of Realtors. So far, 20 members of the North Area Real Estate association have signed on to help spruce up the homes of three eld-
erly Clintonville residents, according to Cindy Dunigan of Real Living HER/ Dunigan Real Estate Group. Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center officials will be selecting the recipients of the mulching, flower planting and generally cleaning up to be done on Realtor Care Day, according to Dunigan, who is in her first year volunteering for the event. They will also be providing each of the homes with a tomato plant in a pot, Dunigan said. “The primary thing is planting flowers and mulching,” she said. The annual volunteer effort, according to the website of the Columbus Board
of Realtors, means that “affiliates, family and friends of central Ohio have the opportunity to show their communities Realtors care. “With careful planning, preparation and the dedication of many volunteers, it is amazing what is accomplished in one day,” the site states. “This year, we project to have close to 400 volunteers throughout the day.” The primary focus of this year’s Realtor Care Day will be in the Southern Orchards neighborhood near Nationwide Children’s Hospital as part of the institution’s “Healthy Neighborhoods and Healthy Families” initiative. This will involve front landscaping of three
to four recently renovated or newly built homes east of Parsons Avenue and south of Livingston Avenue, according to the website. In addition, the project will include creating green space at the corners of Sycamore and Heyl avenues. “There will be many other projects around central Ohio spearheaded by area realty associations in the communities where their members live and work,” the site adds. These include the North Area Real Estate Association’s efforts at the three homes chosen by the CRC. “We as an organization, the North Realtor organization, do a lot with the CRC,”
Dunigan said. “This is our backyard. This organization is of Realtors and brokers from the area. “Personally it’s awesome to be able to help the older folks. Most of them can’t get out and do these sorts of things. My office is in Clintonville. I live here and I’m glad to be able to do it.” Along with this specific June 15 effort, Dunigan said that the North Area Real Estate Association has become involved with a CRC effort to feed homeless people on the first Wednesday of the month. “It’s another example of how we are supporting the CRC,” Dunigan said. kparks@thisweeknews.com
CAC backs request Civic groups combining forces to ‘revamp the ramp’ for no parking spaces Continued from page A1 to obtain $25,000 in state money. Remy added that the goal is to have the planting take place in October of this year. “We’re well within the time frame to try and accomplish this,” Remy said. Cooke Road is the initial focus of Revamp the Ramp, the NCC vice president said, because it provides an entryway to all three of the areas it serves. CAC members might expand the concept to other I-71 interchanges that feed directly into Clintonville. “It all affects our surrounding area,” Remy said. “If we can get all three of them done at

the same time it’s a win-win.” Blazer said that he, along with the NCC and North Linden civic leaders involved in Revamp the Ramp, would be meeting with city officials as a courtesy to let them know about the proposed project or projects. They will also be making a trip to Troy, Blazer said, to inspect a similar undertaking at a freeway ramp there. Blazer added that if Revamp the Ramp becomes a reality, it would involve a commitment on the part of the civic groups to maintain whatever is planted at the ramp or ramps. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
Newest CRC community garden open for business Continued from page A1 the new community garden, which also received funding from a city of Columbus and Franklin County Community Garden Grant, despaired that the corn didn’t appear to be coming in with any abundance. Peering closer while watering the corn patch on a hot, sunny day, Byrd perked up, because her first assessment had been on the pessimistic side. The appropriately named Roberta Gardner, a member of the congregation at St. James Episcopal and a master gardener, assisted with the layout of the Garden of Eatin’, Byrd said. “It’s an opportunity to continue to be what we’re about,”
Carter-Edmands said simply. It seems only right, she added, to share some of the church’s property as a resource to the community. “That’s very much a part of who we are,” the rector said. “I’m thrilled. “This is one of the ways we express our faith.” “We are looking forward to the opportunity to feed a lot of people with this,” Stewart-McGee said, looking around at the plantings of corn, green peppers, sunflowers, beans, tomatoes, squash and zucchini, as well as a section devoted to herbs. “It will all come together,” Byrd assured her. But not without some help. As is often the case with some-
thing new, Stewart-McGee said that the groundbreaking and planting events drew lots of people, but now that the hard, but less interesting, work of weeding and watering is at hand, the number of folks reaching out to help has dwindled to just a handful. Stewart-McGee said that she’s hoping people supportive of the CRC’s efforts will be willing, during the dog days of July and August, to adopt a small section of the Garden of Eatin’ and take on weekly weeding and watering duties. Anyone interested in helping out may contact the basic needs supervisor at (614) 262-3539. Stewart-McGee’s e-mail address is familyservices@clintonvillecrc.org.
Tulane Road. Instead of requiring on-site parking for the new business, commission members voted 7-1, with secretary Jennifer Kangas absent and chairman John DeFourny dissenting, to back City Beet Café owner Scheinbach’s efforts to lease six spaces within 750 feet of the proposed new business. Simbro pointed out that if the business owner were to lose the lease on any of those spaces, the variance would be forfeited. City officials, she added, say that’s never happened in the history of granting such leeway, but Simbro assumes the owner would be granted between 90 days and six months to either replace the lost spaces or cease operations. That is a concern, conceded Scheinbach, who only recently learned about the forfeiture provision. “I’m hoping we can find parking that we can use forever,” she told commission members. “It’s an issue, and one that we need to address.” A community gathering was held at Pattycake Bakery on May 28, at which hundreds signed a petition in support of the new café, with many patrons of the existing operation and potential diners at City Beet noting how close they reside to both.

nearby residential areas. “Our kitchen’s not going to be that big,” Scheinbach replied. Southan inquired what kind of food would be served in the café. “Hamburgs?” he asked. “Fries?” Salads, soups, whole-grain breads and other vegetarian items would dominate the menu, replied Scheinbach, who has lived in Clintonville for a dozen years and owned Pattycake for six. “It’s going to be healthy so, no, no hamburgers,” she said. Mike McLaughlin, in his final meeting as the representative for District 1, noted that other businesses in the area have no on-site parking. “We’re used to zero parking down there,” McLaughlin said. “Thank you for investing in our community. I think the parking will be OK.” So did everyone else on the advisory panel, with the exception of chairman DeFourny. In casting his vote against the requested variances, he said that while he supported the proposed business, deciding upon something as extraordinary as zero parking spaces should come from “a pay grade above us.” The city’s Board of Zoning Appeals will have the final say on the City Beet Café variances. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

“City Beet Café advocates sustainable and healthy living, including alternative transportation models,” according to the hardship statement from Lai, the architect. “Part of its mission is achieved by encouraging its employees and customers to walk, bike or ride a bus to its establishment through a variety of incentives including bonuses for staff and discounts for customers, for those who utilize alternative transport to visit City Beet Café.” “I have really not heard much concern about the parking from the neighborhood,” said commission member Sarah Snyder of District 2, who attended the May 28 gathering. District 3 representative James R. Blazer II expressed some reservations about supporting the variance request, which also includes reducing the setback on the West Tulane Road side from the required 25 feet to zero, because Scheinbach is not the owner of the building. Scheinbach replied that she is working with the current owner to decide upon either a lease, rentto-own or outright purchase approach. District 7 representative Dave Southan said that, based on comments from Lai, a total of 120 potential patrons inside the café and in an outdoor seating area could create major parking issues in the

Scout news 1st Annual
Zielke earns Eagle rank Sean Zielke, a freshman at Bishop Watterson High School, recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He is a member of Troop 169, which is based at Our Lady of Peace Church. Zielke is the son of Katie and Ron Zielke of Clintonville. For his Eagle project, Zielke designed and built a baseball-softball scoreboard for OLP’s DeSantis Field. The design contains built-in storage for the hanging numbers and also can be closed like a cabinet when not in use. Zielke also landscaped the fencerow near the diamond, using a variety of bushes and fresh mulch. The project took more than 220 hours. He was helped by other troop members as well as friends and families. Zielke dedicated the scoreboard to his good friend, Seth Jenkins, who passed away last year. The board is in its second season of use. Sean Zielke

Announcing the ...
Columbus2020!
Central Ohio’s prospects for job growth are promising Pharmaceutical companies often are judged by their “pipeline” of future products. Their stock price could fluctuate on the value of this pipeline and the potential it has to drive future revenue. The Columbus2020! initiative also tracks its pipeline of potential projects, those competitive initiatives that could add jobs and investment in the Columbus region. A close analysis likely would warrant a “buy” recommendation if the Columbus region were selling shares of stock. The Columbus2020! initiative’s pipeline comprises companies that aren’t here yet but that are considering central Ohio for new facilities, as well as existing companies that are considering expansion locally and a host of new enterprises that are being developed through TechColumbus and at satellite entrepreneurial centers throughout the area. One thing is clear: The level of activity is up compared to the past several years, and our prospects for the future are bright. A closer look at the new companies looking at our region shows that 58 percent of the projects are small- to medium-size operations in the advanced-manufacturing sector; 28 percent are international companies considering the United States, and a framework for headquarters and back-office projects has the potential to create hundreds of jobs. Projects are being sourced from nearly every corner of the nation, and each international mission is creating qualified projects.
The region’s technology incubators and entrepreneurial centers are nearing capacity in Columbus, Dublin and New Albany, driven by market opportunities in the advanced-energy, advanced-materials, information-technology and medicalKENNY healthcare sectors. MCDONALD It is a testament to the efforts of state and local leaders that such operations exist to nurture these new enterprises that represent the future of central Ohio. As another indicator, in 2010 funding for local startups reached new heights as a record-setting 117 promising young companies received $307.56 million in innovation capital to fuel the growth of their businesses. This is a 73-percent increase over 2009. TechColumbus has the entire report online at TechColumbus.org. The Columbus area has to compete to win these projects, and the companies have to execute on their plans for our potential to be realized, but the market potential is there. The Columbus region has a lot to feel good about: Its future prospects for job growth and investment look great.

Drug discount cards available To the editor: Three years ago, Franklin County commissioners rolled out a free prescription discount card designed to help residents save money on their prescription medications. Last month, the savings to county residents exceeded $2 million, making Franklin County is the first county in Ohio and the 33rd in the nation to reach this mark. The program is available to Franklin County as a member of the National Association of Counties (NACo). Cards are available at most public buildings, including libraries, county buildings and senior centers. They also come in Spanish. Residents can print a card online or request one be mailed to them at www.franklincountyohio.gov/rx. This program offers real savings to people that need it. Families without health care coverage, or who have gaps in their coverage, are able to save almost a quarter of the cost of their prescriptions. As we pull ourselves out of this recession, this program is helping people get the medication they need and still put food on the dinner table.
The cards may be used by county residents, regardless of age, income or existing health coverage, and are accepted at most of the county's pharmacies. A national network of more than 57,000 participating retail pharmacies also honors the Franklin County Prescription Drug Discount card. This card is free and easy to use. Simply present it at point of purchase,
and you instantly receive savings. No ID is needed, and it works almost everywhere. I urge those not participating to pick up a card today and take advantage of an average savings of 24 percent on prescription drugs. Marilyn Brown Franklin County Board of Commissioners, president

Financial finesse
Wedding planning on a budget Your wedding day may be one you have dreamed about your entire life. In those dreams, it’s likely that no expense was spared in making the event memorable for you and your guests. When it comes time to actually plan your wedding, however, you’ll likely be operating on a much tighter budget than you had in those dreams. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to make the event spectacular without spending a small fortune. In addition to the following tips, research will yield many books and online resources devoted to this topic. Schedule your wedding out of season. There’s no right or wrong time to plan your wedding, but there are dates that are more popular, and thus more expensive. Avoiding the early summer and early fall months makes it easier to negotiate lower prices with vendors. Additionally, Fridays and Sundays tend to be less expensive than Saturdays. Choose a nontraditional venue for your ceremony or reception. Holding your event in a backyard, park, on public grounds or in another location that doesn’t specialize in hosting weddings is both unique and can be a big cost-saver. Remember, however, to take into consideration the cost of tables, chairs and other rentals. Don’t spend a lot on invitations. Couples may think the invitation sets the tone for the wedding, but the reality is, guests rarely remember the invite after opening the envelope. Consider cutting costs by choosing less expensive invitations or even making your own. For the response card, opt for a postcard or even an electronic reply on one of the popular wedding websites to save even more. Get your friends and family involved. There are likely some very talented people in your circle of friends. Tap them to be part of your special day. You can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by asking your friends to fill important roles such as photographer, DJ and florist. Find something borrowed. Friends and family may have centerpieces, apparel or other items
from their wedding that they would be honored to loan you for yours. Ask around. Purchase in season. When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will be in season on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likeMICHELLE ly have more beautiful arrangements. JOHNSON The same principle works with menu planning. Look for local and in-season foods when deciding what you’ll serve at the reception. Negotiate. Don’t hesitate to ask for a discount from your vendors and suppliers. In a tough economy, they may be willing to offer you great rates to get your business. And there’s no harm in asking. Rent what you can’t afford to buy. Although most brides opt to purchase and store their wedding dress after the big day, few ever wear or do anything with the gown again. By renting, you can wear a designer dress for a fraction of the cost of purchasing. Reduce the size of your guest list and wedding party. Scrutinize your guest list and consider limiting the number of your attendants. Scaling back can help you save on the cost of invitations, favors, meals and more. Make wedding purchases with a rewards card. Rather than writing a check, consider using a credit card that rewards you with frequentflier miles, hotel points or even cash back. Depending on how much you spend, the rewards could help defray the cost of your honeymoon travel. For additional financial assistance, contact Michelle Johnson, financial center manager with Fifth Third Bank. She welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions. Please feel free to contact her at 614-492-8888 or MichelleA.Johnson@53.com.

Split vote by CAC seeks speed limit reduction Continued from page A1 In seeking support for the speed-limit reduction, planning and development committee cochairman Nick Cipiti initially proposed requesting it on a temporary basis. At the request of departing District 2 representative Sarah Snyder, Cipiti agreed to change the wording. “While we understand that conditions rather than events dictate changes in speed limits, the Clintonville Area Commission wishes to go on record that we seek a reduction in the speed limit to 25 miles per hour on North High Street in Clintonville from Hollenback Road to North Broadway,” the letter states. “The speed limit on North High Street in the majority of the city is 25 mph. Only in Clintonville is the speed limit 35 mph.” The letter goes on to state that the reduction is sought for two reasons. “First, a lower speed limit would naturally be safer for the children, students, pedestrians and cyclists on North High Street in Clintonville. Second, it would be beneficial for our local merchants if traffic went by their shops more slowly.” District 1 representative Mike McLaughlin, in his final meeting as a member of the CAC, asked if Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce officials had been approached to get their backing for
the request. They had not, Cipiti admitted, which was why McLaughlin voted against sending the letter. “It’s not vetted enough,” he said. Snyder said that city officials have already said that the accident which claimed the life of the 61-year-old teacher, however tragic, is not the basis for making changes to the speed limit. The District 2 representative, who is also stepping down from the area commission, added that she saw no sense in asking for something that’s already been ruled out of the realm of possibility, but then voted in favor of sending the letter. Planning and development committee member Donna LeighOsborne, who initially wrote an impassioned letter regarding the speed limit reduction in the wake of Davis’death, said that the presence of the Clintonville Farmers Market on Saturdays in the vicinity of the accident represents the change in conditions city officials have said is necessary to consid-

er the request. The letter to city council from the commission received the backing of Cipiti, Snyder, District 7’s Dave Southan and Mike Folmar of District 4, who called it “quixotic” but back it anyway. “It doesn’t hurt to ask,” commission chairman John DeFourny said, before casting his vote against sending the letter. Along with McLaughlin, D Searcy of District 9 joined DeFourny on the nay side of the ledger. She said that the commission has “not done due diligence” in contacting other organizations regarding the request and said it was something city officials have clearly said will not be considered. Leigh-Osborne thanked commission members for approving the letter, but then expressed some dismay that it was not done with on a unanimous vote. “I have a hard time following your logic,” she said.

In presenting the depart- Mike McLaughlin ing pair with a Cross pen-and-pencil set as well as commendations from State Rep. John Patrick Carney, city council, Mayor Michael B. Coleman and their commission colleagues, DeFourny said: “They’re being paroled today.” North Broadway Street Association president Carole W. Tomko, who in the past has had harsh words for both Snyder and McLaughlin, spoke at the June CAC meeting to praise the two for their hard work as members of the commission. “Mike and Sarah, it’s been a pleasure working with you,” neighborhood liaison Isom Nivins Jr. said during his report. “It’s been a pleasure,” McLaughlin said. “I’ve enjoyed it.” “It’s been an honor to be your representative,” Snyder said.

In her final report as the District 2 representative for the Clintonville Area Commission, Sarah Snyder last week Sarah Snyder found a tiny, tiny silver lining regarding a Hustler Hollywood store opening in the former Tan Pro building on North High Street. Unlike members of the local media, Snyder said, her efforts at reaching someone connected with the chain of adult boutiques that operate under the motto “Relax, it’s just sex,” had met with success. The project manager she spoke with indicated there were no landscaping plans available for review, but he was open to the use of native species, according to Snyder. “I’m happy to say they also now seem open to including bike racks,” she added. “A pedestrian-friendly business,” chairman John DeFourny quipped.
members paused to pay respects to two community leaders who recently passed away. John F. “Jack” Smith, owner and operator of Beechwold Hardware since 1965, died on May 25 following a battle with cancer. He was 82. Paul D. Love, also 82, died May 30. The retired Realtor was known as “Mr. Clintonville.” Both men were major contributors to the community, District 7 representative Dave Southan noted. Love was a “major participant in volunteerism,” according to DeFourny. District 9’s D Searcy said that Love was instrumental in major streetscape improvements along North High Street.

Upcoming events to focus on local ‘Transition’ initiative Transition Central Ohio, an ongoing initiative of Clintonville-based Simply Living of Central Ohio that’s to be a community-led preparation for the future, will be the subject of two upcoming programs. On Friday June 17, at 7 p.m. in the Earth Block Education Center on the Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds there will be free and brief learning event about the Transition movement across the world, which has spread to 34 countries, is practiced in 10 languages and has 90 community regions registered in the United States, according to Debbie Crawford, founder of Clintonville Health and a participant in Transition Central Ohio. The Ohio State University College of Public Health and OSU EARTH Center are also putting on the June 17 event, which is titled “Coming Together in a Time of Challenges and Change: Transitioning Central Ohio to a Positive Future.” The “highly participatory conversation and evening of networking and creativity,” accord-
ing to a flier for the event, will be facilitated by Tina Clarke, an advocate, educator, consultant, and director of nonprofit programs since 1985, the website for Transition United States indicates. More details are available at http://www.simplyliving.org/sites/default/files/Training_for_Transition_Friday_Evening_Talk_Flyer.pdf. The free evening will be the first part of an entire “Training for Transition” weekend workshop June 18 and 19 at OSU. Its purpose, according to Crawford, is to help participants “learn how to catalyze, support and facilitate community transition and resilience.” To register for the workshop, go to https://cphplearn.org. Crawford, who will be attending both the free event and the two-day workshop with husband Mac, described Transition Central Ohio as a “journey to prepare and adapt for a new future, one that successfully addresses the triple threats of rising energy costs, climate change and economic instability.”

that he’s able to do what he does for a living. No, literally. Aside from his catchy nickname (more on that later) and one-of-a-kind licks and riffs, doing back flips and other stage gymnastics is what Shorty’s known for. Shorty started doing the flips when he was in his teens, encouraged by one of his mentors, Guitar Slim, to add some showmanship to his performances. That was in the 1950s. He’ll still do a flip today at age 71. “I just like to have myself some fun,” he told The Beat. “But you can’t get too excited, and you have to do it in time, in rhythm. If the band is going crazy and they don’t know what’s coming, well, one time I ended up with my right arm in a sling.” Shorty tells the story of his influence on a young Jimi Hendrix (Shorty would befriend and later marry Jimi’s half-sister), of whom Shorty said, “Jimi would go AWOL from his Army base to catch my local shows. He told me the reason he started setting his guitar on fire was because he couldn’t do the back flips like I did. “I’m up there to entertain and make the fans happy,” Shorty told The Beat. Born David Kearney in Houston, Texas, and raised by his grandmother in Kissimmee, Fla., Shorty attempted to follow in his uncle’s footsteps as a guitar player. As a 6-year-old, Shorty said, he would sneak into his uncle’s room once he’d gone to work and try to play the guitar, until one day he’d just about given up. “I was kicking it and slamming the strings. I told my grandmother ‘I hate that guitar,’” he said. “My grandmother asked my uncle, ‘Will you teach that boy to play

guitar before I kill him?’” Long hours on his uncle’s knee gave way to a gig with a local band — but being a kid in a band full of adults also meant he was the shortest member of the band. A club owner laid the moniker Guitar Shorty on him then, and it stuck. His reputation was growing as well, and he caught the ear of blues master Willie Dixon and that of Ray Charles, who hired him and with whom he spent a year on the road, still in his teens. In the 1950s and ’60s, Shorty toured and recorded the occasional single. He moved to the Los Angeles area in the ’70s, and played gigs with every blues star, including B.B. King, Johnny Copeland and T-Bone Walker. But it wasn’t until the ’90s that he began a serious recording career. His new CD, Bare Knuckles,
is his seventh — third for Alligator Records. “I still enjoy what I’m doing,” he said. “I’m thankful every day for the gift to be able to do this.” Shorty admitted that most of his trademark licks are recorded live rather than rehearsed. Still, the studio is no substitute for the stage. “Stuff just comes to me while I’m playing. The same song tonight and tomorrow night is not going to sound the same,” he explained. “If you do the same thing over and over, it’s like eating the same food all the time — it gets stale. “If you can’t be creative, you’re wasting your time. That’s what music’s all about.” ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Guitar Shorty, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com/blogs.
New chef brings menu thrills to The Rossi “The thrill is goooone, baaaaby,” yowled B.B. King as I was seated at a rare available table in The Rossi Bar + Kitchen. Usually, a shopworn song like this deflates my mood. But that night (Was it the festive crowd? The stylish restaurant?), the old tune felt almost fresh. And hey, I’ve got nothing against B.B., but as the evening progressed, I realized the blues dude’s words couldn’t have been more off base. Because the thoroughly fabulous food I began slamming back at the Rossi proved the thrill is most certainly not gone here. Actually, I haven’t been more enthusiastic about this place since reviewing it the week it opened, in April 2005. My excitement grew from fantastic nightly specials and spread to just-introduced menu items rolled out by the Rossi’s bright new chef,Andrew Smith. Formerly working in that artsy hotbed of culinary daring called Portland, Ore., Smith’s stuff has been creative without tasting strange, ingredient-conscious without sounding

Not only does this rubycolored, hefty, aromatic oddball go down considerably better than it sounds, but I kinda love it. Refreshingly, it’s a bit citrusy with orange-kissed Watershed Gin flying off pomegranate molasses, both grounded by splashes of earthy beet juice. Crystals of sea salt crust the cocktail glass, realigning the palate between sips. The lovely, light and lemony-dressed arugula salad ($10) is another new favorite.

with Lucky Penny feta) it’s listed on cards posted above the restaurant “pass.” There, you might also see a (sexily seared) scallop, (bacony) crispy pork rillette and tomatillo-jam appetizer. If you do, order this immediately. Ditto for a terrifically balanced soupof-the-day gazpacho ($6). Rustic yet lush, its fresh and colorful chopped vegetables (tomato, cucumber and red onion) were aromatized by a hint of basil and enriched by drops of an excellent olive oil plus pulverized bread. This brings us to what’s become a much-talked-about dish around town — the Rossi’s incredible new Pork and Beans ($18). Criminally undersold by its mundane name, this breakout entree can easily erase bad memories of underachieving predecessors of the same name. It begins with a huge and beautiful bone-in, center-cut pork chop, expertly char-grilled like the tender and juicy steak it is. On top is a mass of mayonnaisedressed slaw sharpened by sliced green

Surrounding this are gigantic, meaty and creamy corona beans (think extra-large butter beans) that are a riotous pleasure to eat. Combined, it all made for a comfort-food masterpiece dripping with so much arousing flavor that I literally had to pound on the table and declare, “Holy slab of hog, that’s good!” In a similar, dressed-up-casual vein was a glorious Pork Confit sandwich ($9) served with terrific fries. Assembled with carnitas-like strands of intensified pulled pig meat and pickled watermelon rind scented with cinnamon, it’s like the dream of a summertime picnic awakened by a clever chef. And another reason to visit the thrilling Rossi again.

his eyes on the Chase bank crowd in Westerville, where employees number in the 2,000 range. He hopes reasonable prices — no single dish tops $9 — and quick service should get people in the door. “To keep my concept working, I need the volume,” he said, noting that a full liquor license is in place. Banquet space will be used for large parties or spillover seating during restaurant hours. Patio seating also will be added. Nanak, which got its start in Bethel Center, has been long known for its quality, natural desserts. When Soltanirad and Tajik relocated to Westerville in late 2009, Nguyen opened his second Lac Viet in their Bethel Road storefront. Nanak offered a menu of savory items until recently. Soltanirad said it was too difficult to run the bakery and a separate eatery, so he brought in Nguyen. “I know him. I think his food is very good,” he said. “It’s something Westerville doesn’t have.” Nguyen established his first Lac Viet almost seven years ago in the North Market and later opened Phat Wraps, a healthy-food concept on campus. He said he has sold his interest in both restaurants so he could focus on his two other stores. In related news, Nguyen has attained a license through the Ohio Department of Agriculture that allows him to transport food from Lac Viet on Bethel to other locations, meaning he has turned that store into a commissary kitchen. He recently bought a 60-gallon stockpot and intends to sell his pho broth to other restaurants. “I’m ready for the next level,” he said. Lac Viet is open for lunch and dinner hours six days a week, closed Sunday. For more information, call 614-882-0588.

Watterson Roundup
Boys relay sets school record at state By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Alex Matacia, Jimmy Gallagher, Cody Calhoun and Erik Oman combined to end a couple droughts for the Watterson High School boys track and field team in the Division II state meet on June 3 and 4 at Ohio State. Not only did the foursome become the first members of the boys team to compete at state since 2000 by running in the 400-meter relay, but they became the first Eagles to score at state since 1993. The relay placed eighth in 43.17 seconds to score one point, enabling Watterson to tie six other teams for 71st behind champion Akron St. VincentSt. Mary (51) as 77 teams scored. The top eight finishers in each event reached the awards podium. “When you can run lifetime-best times in the state meet and get on the podium, that’s the ultimate goal,” coach Matt McGowan said. “It had been a long time since we’ve had a boy in the state meet and even longer since we’ve had one on the podium, so this was exciting for them. And we’re really happy that they were able to break our school record in the 400 relay at state as well.” Watterson ran the 11th-fastest regional time of the 16 state-qualifying 400 relays. But the Eagles finished ninth in the preliminaries in 43.44 to make it to the final, as the top nine placers in each preliminary race advanced. “We had great handoffs and ran a season-best time to barely make it to the finals,” McGowan said. “Then, we ran even faster in the finals, even though our last handoff wasn’t that good. Alex and Jimmy are seniors, but Cody is a freshman and Erik’s a junior, so they’ll be back next year to try and make it back here again.”

Alex Matacia (left) and Cody Calhoun of Watterson enjoy the moment after breaking the school record with an eighth-place finish in the 400-meter relay during the Division II state meet on June 4 at Ohio State. The Eagles ended a drought in which they hadn’t scored at state since 1993.
•The baseball team finished 16-8 overall after being upset by visiting Canal Winchester 7-6 in the second round of the Division II district tournament on May 12. Seeded sixth, Watterson made five
errors and gave up four unearned runs. The Eagles finished second in the CCL at 5-3, behind DeSales (7-1) and ahead of Hartley (4-4), Ready (2-6) and St. Charles (2-6). It was the 17th season for coach Scott
Manahan, who guided Watterson from 1992 through 2007 before coaching Hamilton Township from 2008-10. “I’ve got an ego big enough to think that I was going to come back and beat DeSales in the CCL and win a lot of
games in the tournament this year, but in reality, we had a lot of great kids and good athletes, but we just didn’t have an ace who could strike out 10 or See EAGLES, page B2

It’s logical to wonder whether Eastmoor Academy sophomore Aaliyah Barnes has simply scratched the surface of what she could accomplish in track and field. After being ineligible a year ago because she didn’t take the required number of class credits, Barnes became one of central Ohio’s premier sprinters during her first prep season. In the Division II state meet on June 4 at Ohio State, Barnes captured championships in the 100 meters (12.19 seconds) and 200 (24.73). Barnes is planning a mix of track meets and summer activities with the Warriors girls volleyball and girls basketball programs to help build on her impressive inaugural track season. “It feels great,” Barnes said. “Usually my 200 is better, but (June 4) I felt like my 100 was stronger than my 200.” Barnes, who edged Hartley senior Aisha Cavin to win district and regional titles in the 100, held off Cortland Lakeview junior Lauren Schattinger (12.31) and Cavin (12.49) to win the state title. Then in the 200, Barnes edged Toledo Rogers freshman Sasha Dailey (24.9) to win the title. Barnes also was on the 800 relay with senior Jasmine Peterson, soph-

er made it over the bar at 7-0, thus capturing the state title. According to Bearcats coach Steve Ayers, Preacher is the first high jump state champion in program history. Once he had the title wrapped up, Preacher tried unsuccessfully three times to jump 7-3, which would have broken the state record by one-fourth of an inch. “I figured it’s my last year and my last jumps, so why not give (the state record) a shot,” Preacher said. “I had it on my second jump (at 7-3), but I just nipped the bar. I got 7-0 two other times this year, so it didn’t bother me when the bar went to 7-0.” Preacher, who finished third (6-7) at state in the high jump a year ago when the winning height was 6-8, has a scholarship offer from the University of Akron but is hoping his state performance will attract more recruiting interest. He also said he was “actually pretty happy” with his performance in the long jump, an event in which he finished third (22-10 1/2) earlier in the day. Devin Smith of Massillon Washington won the title by jumping 24-7 and Springfield’s Josh Bass was second (23-11 3/4). Last season at state in the long jump, Preacher was 11th (21-4 3/4). “It was just a great day to jump,” Ayers said. “It’s what we talked about ever since the season started. I’m glad he cleared 7-0 a couple times earlier in the year because he had some great competition out there.” The 16 points Preacher scored gave the Bearcats an 11th-place finish behind champion Cincinnati LaSalle (36) as 78 teams scored. Brookhaven’s 800-meter relay of sophomore Lei’Tonn Backus, junior Tajuan Green and seniors Corey Easley and Aryton Preacher was fifth in the preliminaries after running 1 minute, 28.32 seconds on June 3 but had handoff issues during the final and did not finish. Also in Division I, Beechcroft finished 13th (14) and Northland tied seven other teams for 53rd (4). The Cougars’ 400 relay of
11 guys,” said Manahan, who has led the Eagles to a 333-96 record, with one state title (1997), eight district championships and 13 CCL titles. “So we had to play good defense, and when we didn’t play good defense, we lost. Losing in the (second round of the tournament) isn’t acceptable, so we’ve got a lot of work to do. Our goal for next year is to outwork the other teams and get back to being successful in the tournament.” The Eagles opened the tournament with an 11-0, five-inning win over Columbus East on May 10, as Sean Hoy pitched a one-hitter, Kevin Clark hit a grand slam and Kevin Mong hit a three-run home run. “We had a good record and we were playing well going into the tournament before we had a bad game against Canal Winchester,” Manahan said. The Eagles lose 13 seniors, including 12 who started multiple games in Clark (P), Ray Cook (1B), Hoy (P), Nick Kernan (LF), Adam Koscielski (DH), Brett Littrell (RF), Brad McCurdy (SS), Adam Mong (2B), Kevin Mong (3B), John O’Brien (2B), Paul Ottaviano (C) and Collin Wear (P). Junior Jake Brobst (CF) is expected back as the lone returning starter. Brobst, Cook and McCurdy were named first-team all-district

seniors Montell Wrice and Dai’Ron Glover and juniors Marquis Cobb and James Duncan finished second in 42.22 behind Medina (41.71). They had the third-best preliminary time (42.29). It was just the fourth time this season those four comprised the 400 relay, according to Glover. All except for Duncan competed in track for the first time this spring. “We knew we just had to keep it close and get it to Dai’Ron and that something good would come out of it,” Duncan said. Glover finished third in the 100 (10.87) earlier in the day behind Smith (10.74) and Clayton Northmont’s Jared Walker (10.78). Glover, who was the City and regional champion in the 100, failed to win for just the second time this season. He is planning to play football at Mesabi Range Community & Technical College in Virginia, Minn., with the hope of eventually playing on the Division I college level. “It’s my first year running track, so you can’t be anything but happy about it,” Glover said. “I’m pretty humbled. A good race is a good race. I’ve been running with pain in my right knee since the City meet. I improved on my time from (the state preliminaries), so I can’t complain.” Also placing in the Division I state meet was Northland jun-
GIRLS too much. From the start, I didn’t think I had a good start in the 200.” The two titles by Barnes helped Eastmoor finish fifth (20 points) behind champion Hartley (47) as 77 teams scored. Coming up just short of winning a championship in Division I was Marion-Franklin junior Ki’Lesia Perry. After finishing third in the 100 hurdles a year ago, Perry turned in the fifth-best time during preliminaries (14.61). Then in the final, she ran 14.42 to place second behind Chesterland sophomore Chantel Richardson (14.39). Perry edged North Canton Hoover senior Becca Maj (14.44) at the finish line. The eight points Perry scored helped Marion-Franklin tie Gahanna for 29th behind champion Reynoldsburg (47) as 70 teams scored. “I slip sometimes coming out of the blocks, so I tried to make sure I got out well,” Perry said. “It feels good because I got third
ahan said. “Our j.v. team went 16-5 and all of our kids are going to play baseball in the summer, which should benefit us a lot. We’re going to work hard and I’m confident we’ll come back strong next year.” •Tracey Cultice was hired as softball coach on June 2. She replaces Mike Huff, who retired after leading the Eagles to 313 wins and eight CCL titles in 23 seasons. Watterson finished 10-16 overall this spring after losing to third-seeded Groveport 3-2 in a Division I district semifinal on May 20. ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

COVA ice cream social to feature Watterson student wins debut of Vienna Ice Café treats arts guild scholarship Vienna Ice Café, soon to open its first location in Clintonville, will debut treats and baked goods at the sixth annual COVA-Clintonville Community Ice Cream Social on Thursday, June 16, from 4 to 7:30 p.m. June 16. It will take place at the Center of Vocational Alternatives offices, 3770 N. High St. The event is free and open to the public. “Features include three flavors of ice cream, a bounce house and games for kids of all ages and music by local performers Trial and Error, Pete Frenzer and Bill Cohen,” according to COVA spokeswoman Robin Hepler. “Gifts from local merchants, including a getaway stay at the University Plaza Hotel, will be awarded as door prizes throughout the event.” “We began this event as a way to get to know our Clintonville neighbors when we moved our offices from the Short North to Clintonville, and it keeps growing every year,” Judy Braun, president and chief executive officer of COVA, said in a statement. “We are especially thrilled to have Vienna and co-owner Anand Saha be a partner with us in the annual event and to be the debut site for this new local, handmade ice cream.” Saha, co-owner of Mozart’s Bakery and Piano Café, plans to open Vienna’s first shop in July at 2899 N.

The annual scholarship provides recipients with a total of $225 to purchase art supplies, $150 from the Clintonville Arts Guild and $75 from Utrecht Art Supplies, located in the Short North. “This scholarship is sponsored by the Clintonville Arts Guild each year and is rotated among graduating art students in Clintonville area high schools,” according to guild spokeswoman Chris Kramer. “The winner is selected by the student’s high school art instructor.” Katie Schmitt’s teacher at Bishop Watterson was Lynne Shineman-Restifo.

Ground broken on CNG station Mayor Michael B. Coleman was joined last week by Councilmember Priscilla R. Tyson, representatives of Clintonville-based Clean Fuels Ohio and Columbia Gas of Ohio to break ground on the city’s first compressed natural gas station. It will be, according to the mayor’s spokesman, “the largest fast-fill station of its kind in Ohio and likely in the Midwest.” It is being built at 4211 Groves Road on the South Side and is expected to be open this fall. “This is more than just a fueling station,” Coleman said in a statement. “This marks a moment in history as we transition to a diversified and cleaner fuel for our fleet and our community.” Columbus expects to eliminate about 40,000 gallons of diesel fuel a year, saving approximately $60,000 to $90,000 in fuel costs, the announcement stated. CNG is averaging $1.50 per gas gallon equivalent compared with more than $4 a gallon of diesel. In addition, CNG reduces carbon emissions by as much as 90 percent. The initial infusion of 24 CNG vehicles for the city will reduce emissions as much as if 96 cars were taken off the road annually. “Columbus is committed to being a regional and national leader in the clean fuel movement,” Tyson, chairwoman of the finance committee, was quoted as saying. “This fueling station, along with our investment in CNG-powered cars and trucks, positions Columbus to be at the forefront
of developing energy-efficient transportation at a cost savings for our residents.” The project was supported through a grant Clean Fuels Ohio received from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2009. The total cost of the CNG station is $4.2 million, with $1.1 million coming from the Department of Energy. “While the station is for use by the city of Columbus fleet, it will also be open to area fleets and the general public,” the announcement stated. “We’re excited for the station to open later this fall,” Clean Fuels Ohio executive director Sam Spofforth said in the statement. “With the rise in diesel and gasoline prices we have seen an increased interest from fleets to convert to CNG. This station will offer businesses, governments and individual motorists in our area another option and help the city save thousands of dollars each year.” This green fleet initiative is part of the Ohio Advanced Transportation Partnership that includes 27 partners across the state led by Clean Fuels Ohio. In total, Clean Fuels Ohio received $11 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Cities Program for its partners. Clean Fuels Ohio is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the use of cleaner domestic fuels and efficient vehicles to the transportation industry, government, and the general public.
