Council divided on lumberyard park By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A green, grassy lawn might be in the future for the old lumberyard site behind Grove City Hall. Grove City Council members on June 6 voted 3-2 to spend $80,500 from the general fund to create a temporary park.

Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage told council he might veto the ordinance. Council members Melissa Albright and Gregory Grinch voted against the project. The ordinance was introduced on May 16 by council member Steve Bennett. He originally proposed spending $110,000. A 3-2 vote from the same council members on June 6 reduced the

amount, delaying some of the improvements until later. Grinch and Albright have voted against turning the property into a park for several months, beginning with a vote in March to obtain a cost estimate. Each has said the timing isn’t right for moving forward because the city has issued a request for proposals. That could

lead to a developer starting a project in the lumberyard or town center. “We have a (request for proposals) out there,” Albright said June 6. “I don’t want to spend a lot of money there when we’ve got an RFP that in 10 days is going to come back with some answers.” Grinch agreed the ordinance seemed premature.

“We’ve spent thousands of dollars on research. ... That property is destined for commercial development. It hasn’t happened to date, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future,” he said. “Why can’t we wait even 30 days to see if there’s an RFP?” See COUNCIL, page A2

City ready to tackle mosquitoes By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A wet spring plus warm weather are priming the Grove City area for an influx of mosquitoes. City service director Les Spring is confident the city’s new contract with Franklin County Public Health will help control the insects.

City council in March voted to contract with the county and Vector Disease Control International LLC for mosquito management services. Until this year, the city has been doing its own mosquito control, Spring said. “What we’ve been doing is what communities used to do, which was a weekly fogging program,” he said.

“What you do, basically, is try to kill the adult mosquito that is active and flying. That’s the shotgun approach.” The new program offered by Vector and the Franklin County Health Department is more comprehensive. “They pretreat storm drains and standing water,” Spring said. “They try to get to the root of the problem

and keep the larvae from hatching.” Workers try to educate property owners and ask them to remove tires and another sources of standing water on private property. That’s something Grove City has neither the manpower nor the expertise to tackle, Spring said. See MOSQUITOES, page A2

Cheryl Grossman (RGrove City) also congratulated the members of the local ministerial association, which started the pantry 31 years ago. The pantry now serves up to 12 families a day — a total of 2,463 households in 2010 — said Don Swogger, food pantry president. The pantry has a new sign, on the building facing Columbus Street. “With the sign up now, I think numbers will really increase, and I thank God for that,” Swogger said.

The Ohio Department of Transportation and Grove City have taken a step toward improving traffic flow at the intersection of Interstate 270 and U.S. Route 62. ODOT workers restriped the center lane of the westbound I-270 exit ramp at U.S Route 62 between 11 p.m. Thursday, June 2, and 5 a.m. Friday, June 3, ODOT spokeswoman Nancy Burton said. The original plan was to start work the week of May 23, “but we weren’t having much luck, with all the rain,” Burton said. “(It was a) safety improvement that was relatively easy to do. We could make those safety A closer look changes ourselves rather The modifications allow than having to westbound drivers to turn contract that left from the center lane, out.” which had been designated The modifi- as a through lane, increascations allow ing the number of left-turn westbound driv- lanes to two.

Traffic signal modifications completed the change. Burton said an extra turn lane improves safety at the intersection. “There were a number of vehicles at certain times of day that were backing up or waiting in line to make a left onto 62,” she said. “That’s just not safe when you have vehicles that are completely stopped and you have interstate traffic. … By restriping and timing or coordinating the traffic signal, it’s our hope that it provides more space for vehicles” to decrease the possibility of cars being at a standstill on the interstate. Burton said the cost of the restriping was minimal because it came out of ODOT’s general fund. Only one or two employees — traffic controllers — were paid overtime. Others were third-shift ODOT workers. The only equipment needed was already on hand, she said. Grove City Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage said the city has wanted to make changes to the traffic flow for about two years. “I think it’s going to help some, coupled with the improvements at Home Road and (U.S. Route) 62,” Stage said of the newly completed restriping. “It’s all working together to get the congestion ironed out.” The construction at Home Road and Route 62 should be completed within the next few months, Stage said.

The Grove City Relay For Life will be held from 7 p.m. June 17 to 1 p.m. June 18 at the Grove City High School track on Hoover Road. The American Cancer Society event will raise funds for cancer research, education, prevention and patient services. Teams that have taken pledges will walk the track throughout the night. The Cancer Society has selected the Baier family — David and Robin and their sons, Dalton and Colby — to serve as honorary chairpersons for this year’s Grove City relay. Their daughter, Violet, died of brain cancer. Robin Baier wrote, “Violet lost her pre-

cious life Dec. 7, 2010, at home with her family. Although she was only 7 years old, she was the bravest person I have ever met. She never once through this whole experience felt sorry for herself or acted scared. She fought this with a smile on her face and a spunkiness that I couldn’t believe. Violet made sure to prepare her family and leave them with a sense of peace that she would be all right and was going to heaven with her grandfather. We miss Violet every second of the day and no one will ever fill her shoes. We are so proud to have had such a wonderful, thoughtful, amazing little girl who was the center of our family and are so terribly sad that her time her on earth

was taken way to soon.” The family will be recognized June 17 at the Survivor Dinner at 5:30 p.m. and during the relay’s opening ceremony at 7 p.m. Other activities on the June 17 relay schedule are children’s activities from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., a silent auction starting at 5 p.m. and a luminaria ceremony at 10 p.m. June 18 activities will include movies at midnight and 2 a.m., games during the night, a pancake breakfast from 8 to 10 a.m., a touch-a-truck event at 9 a.m., a volleyball tournament at 11 a.m. and the closing ceremony at 12:15 p.m. For more information, visit www.relayforlife.org/grovecity or call 1-800-227-2345.

gravel, which violates city code. The amended ordinance, if not vetoed, would provide enough funding for topsoil and grass seed, and to pave the gravel parking lot.

About 15 years ago, the pantry was on the verge of closing when Don Clarke and his wife, Peg, took it upon themselves to lead the pantry volunteers. “I told her, ‘I think that’s something we could do together,’” Clarke said. When the Clarkes took a vacation, the other volunteers realized how difficult the job was and initiated a system of rotating monthly managers that continues to this day. One office in the new building will be used by the monthly manager, who helps Swogger track donations and distributions. The other two belong to Swogger and Ron Miller, who coordinates the charity’s emergency services. “He works three days a week, two and a half to three hours a day,” said Ken Moody, one of the five monthly managers. About half of the monetary donations to the charity go toward emergency services, including utility bills and other financial assistance, Moody said. The pantry’s emergency services works directly with creditors and utility companies to ensure the money is put to proper use. Downstairs, flats of canned goods and shelves full of cereal and paper products line the walls. A small kitchen area includes several refrigerators for a limited supply of dairy products and other items that need to be kept cold. Swogger and Grossman are thankful the pantry has found a space that can serve more clients. “We’ve been working on this since December (2010),” Swogger said. “This was something that was very near and dear to my heart when I was mayor,” Grossman said. “It’s an outstanding example of people sharing important goals together.”

Additionally, Vector sets mosquito traps to check for diseasecarrying insects. “They do extensive testing, which is something that’s way beyond our capabilities,” Spring said. “Their traps will indicate the type of mosquito and what the disease is, so they can start treating for that aggressively.” Three traps are being set in the city each week. The mosquitoes caught will be tested for the presence of West Nile virus, which usually appears in mosquitoes in June or July. Nearly all Franklin County municipalities have signed up to participate in the program, which could save Grove City about $10,000 a year on chemicals, equipment and labor if it proves to be effective, Spring said. The contract the city signed earlier this year runs through 2013. It allows Grove City the option to continue its own fogging treatment if Vector’s treat-

ments don’t prove effective. One of the advantages of using Vector is the city can request fogging treatments before events such as the July 4 celebration, Spring said. “It’s a really good program and they’re very professional,” he said. “What’s so impressive about it is the science behind it.” Grove City residents may call the Franklin County Public Health Mosquito Hotline at (614) 525-BITE to report standing water, or complete a service request form at www.myfcph.org.

High — were at least moderately clean at least some of the time. An ordinance passed that year was more modest in its intent. The longsuffering marshal was ordered to employ someone to “clean the paved gutters of the city of all dirt and filth.” Presumably, the idea here was that dirt and filth pushed into the street would be washed away after a while. How this would happen in a city without sewers was not explained. Things had not improved much by 1850. A writer informed a local newspaper of the problems of inner city travel: “On Tuesday last, a couple of friends from Cleveland, delegates to the Temperance Convention, wishing to visit the Lunatic Asylum (at Jefferson and Broad), I took them in my carriage and set out on the perilous undertaking of reaching that institution; and by trespassing on the gravel sidewalk of Mr. Kelley (near Fifth and Broad), and some others, we contrived to get within 40 or 50 rods of the Asylum gate, when we were stuck fast in the mud, and after breaking the carriage and harness in endeavoring to proceed, we were compelled to wade on foot through the mire.” The arrival of 26,000 Union troops at Camp Chase did not help improve city cleanliness much. A local paper complained in 1865 as the Civil War was ending that, “Our Street Commissioner, having wakened up from his Rip Van Winkle slumbers, was out yesterday with an overwhelming force, consisting of a one-legged man and two assistants, actively engaged in cleaning up … Heaven knows there is need of it.” By the early 1870s, Columbus was growing rapidly and the downtown near the Statehouse was being kept reasonably clean. The area north of town near the railyards was another matter:

Jarvis Pike, could impose fines if he saw fit. When one notes that the mayor was making money ED by removing LENTZ the stumps from Statehouse Square for the governor in one of the state’s first public works contracts, it probably will not come as a shock to learn that the stumps in High Street were ignored. No one was paying to have them removed. And no one was really complying with the street-cleaning ordinance, either. Mayor Pike soon decided not to seek re-election and entered into several private-sector businesses. His successors were not better, and may have been worse, at keeping the trash of the city under control. A few examples: On June 26, 1820, the city marshal was ordered to “remove any logs from Broad Street, west of Fourth Street, that may have grown on the ground and is fallen thereon.” There is no record that the marshal did any such thing. In 1832, the residents of lots on High Street from Broad to Main streets were ordered “to collect the dirt into convenient heaps on Saturday of each week.” There is no record that the residents complied with that order, either. “Dirt” was a major problem in the early city. This was due primarily to certain basic facts: Most of the streets were not paved. Most of the streets were being used as sewers as well as thoroughfares. Columbus was a city powered by horses and its streets were filled with what horses left behind. Put all of this together and one can see why the removal of dirt was an important issue. By 1840, Columbus was a town of more than 6,000 people and the streets — at least near Broad and

As it were

In the wake of a recent threeday holiday weekend, I was reminded of — among other things — the remarkable cleanliness of Ohio’s capital city. Columbus is certainly not unique in the cleanliness of its streets and the remarkable efficiency of its refuse removal. But anybody who has recently been to a “filthy city” — and we will politely not mention any names — probably has thankfully returned to Columbus and assumed that the metropolis of central Ohio has always been this efficiently clean. Of course, that assumption would not be correct. For much of the first 100 years of its history, Columbus was a pretty dirty place. This should not really be all that surprising. Through most of human history, cities have been places where large numbers of people have gathered for one reason or another. And generally, they have been more interested in those reasons — to do business, to worship, to have a good time — than they have been inclined to pick up after themselves. Columbus is a created city. There was not all that much on the “high banks opposite Franklinton at the forks of the Scioto” in 1812 except a lot of forest and a very large Indian mound that gave Mound Street its name. It was at this pristine location that the Ohio General Assembly decided to make a new home. And even though only a few hundred people lived here at first, it did not take them long to make a mess. One of the very first ordinances passed by the Borough of Columbus in 1816 as the legislature was preparing to meet here for the first time dealt with the condition of the streets, such as they were. The ordinance of May 23, 1816, forbade “the obstruction of the thoroughfares by lumber, firewood, stable garbage, earth from cellars or any other means.” The mayor,

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 din-

AS IT WERE Continued from page A4 “The weather at present writing warrants a hope that navigation between the National Hotel (Nationwide and High Street) and the North Graveyard (North Market) will be closed today. For several days, it has been impossible to get a respectable footing anywhere in the territory described above. We doubt whether such a sea of mud has ever afflicted any other city.” Actually, many other cities had precisely the same problems. If anything, Columbus — because it was the capital city — was probably cleaner than most cities of comparable size in these years. At last in 1886, a program of relatively regular street cleaning was begun in Columbus. A fourhorse sweeper began to clean High Street six nights a week. By 1892, the service was being performed by two two-horse sweepers. But even this service was not uniform, since it was paid for by local property owners who desired it. It would take another generation for really complete street cleaning and refuse removal to come to Columbus. But by 1911 — 100 years ago — it was here. Superintendent Kautzman described his refuse-collection department for a local paper: “Our present quarters (on Short Street) in addition to the disposal plant, consist of a loading station, a commodious barn, both of brick, and a wagon shed now in the process of completion. We have 104 head of horses, 54 wagons and more than 75 men … “During the last two months,

we have collected approximately 10,000 loads of garbage and rubbish. We are making the garbage pay by extracting grease and other byproducts from it … Why should we not make this profit for the mu-

Roger Tompkins wants to give central Ohioans a place to foster interest in poetry. The co-owner of The Book Loft in German Village is helping to form a poetry club for people of all interest and skill levels. “I think every poet wants to do better and people who haven't published anything want to be discovered and be known to somebody besides themselves,” he said. “And maybe the way to do it is through the people who have the same desire.” Tompkins said he and many of his customers were vexed by the lack of poetry clubs in Columbus. “We're just trying to find out now who all is interested,” he said. The public is invited to attend the next meeting on the subject, slated for 3 p.m. Saturday, June 18, at the bookstore, 631 S. Third St. Tompkins said he hopes to have the club functional by this fall. Tompkins said he wants to keep things informal. Writers would share and discuss their works with their contemporaries and have their poetry critiqued by their peers. “We decided to make this thing a fun thing,” he said. “We're kind of opening the door to make this possible. We're not going to charge. The membership is going to be open and free.” Tompkins also has a personal interest: He's a poet, too.

A YEAR ON ENERGY

That older refrigerator or freezer in your basement or garage is burning up as much as $150 in energy every year. Fortunately, you can recycle it without using any energy at all. We’ll pick it up free, you’ll pick up $50, and you’ll reduce your energy use. And the only finger you have to lift is your dialing finger. Throw in an old room A/C and we’ll give you $25 off the purchase of a new ENERGY STAR® unit.

“I just wanted to do it because I like books, I like reading and I like poetry,” he said. Steve Abbott, a professor of English at Columbus State Community College and a poetry-book editor, said he is supportive of the Book Loft's goal of establishing a poetry club. “There are very few, so clearly there's a need for it,” he said. Abbott, who is part of a formal poetry workshop at the local Pudding House Publications, said there is benefit to a club that offers serious appraisals of work, not just affirmation. Likewise, emerging poets must be able to accept criticism if they want to improve, he said. “That's the problem: You sometimes get a selfhelp approach to poetry,” said Abbott, who edited the 2008 “Cap City Poets,” an anthology compiling the work of 74 central Ohio poets, and two chat books. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

FRUSTRATING FINISH

’Hounds ousted in state semifinal By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

It will be a season that coach Ryan Alexander and his Grove City High School baseball team won’t soon forget. The Greyhounds reached the state tournament for the first time since 1983, losing to Liberty Township Lakota East 7-2 in a Division I semifinal June 2 at Huntington Park. “We have no regrets this season, and that’s what we told our guys — no excuses, no regrets,” Alexander said. “Lay it on the line and I thought they did that. I thought they came here with that mentality. It just didn’t go our way. The ball didn’t roll our way.” The Greyhounds fell behind 51 in the fifth inning. Junior starting pitcher Mitchell Stephens went three innings, allowing three runs on four hits, and took the loss. Senior Caleb Woodson’s RBI single in the third and Stephens’ bases-loaded walk in the seventh accounted for Grove City’s runs. Lakota East’s Mike Conrad allowed six hits in a completegame effort, and Jesse Rait hit a two-run home run in the sixth to help dash the Greyhounds’ hopes of a comeback. Grove City finished the season with a 22-11 overall record. The Greyhounds tied Reynoldsburg for third in the OCC-Ohio Division at 9-5, behind Pickerington North (12-2) and Gahanna (10-4) and ahead of Pickerington Central (8-6), Groveport and Newark (3-11) and Lancaster (2-12). Grove City won its first district title since 2000. Seeded ninth, the Greyhounds defeated Franklin Heights 5-0 on May 9, Thomas Worthington 10-0 in five innings on May 11, Olentangy Orange 16-8 on May 16 and Worthington Kilbourne 52 in the district final on May 20. Grove City then won a regional title by beating West Chester Lakota West 5-3 on May 27 and Westerville Central 103 on May 28. Alexander will look to replace seniors Ryan Belmonte (INF), Bobby Brown (P), T.J. DeVore (C), Jordan Halley (P), Ken Reichle (INF), Brad Trejo (DH/OF) and Woodson (INF). Woodson, who transferred from Central Crossing last summer, hit .414 with six home runs and 25 RBI. He was named special mention all-OCC-Ohio. Trejo hit .436, Reichle hit .374 with 28 RBI and Belmonte hit .305. “We played phenomenal up to this point,” Reichle said after the state semifinal. “We just didn’t hit the ball and Lakota East hit the ball better than we did.” DeVore had 23 RBI and three home runs, and was a solid defensive catcher. “It was a great season, a great run,” he said. “It was better than

Track & Field

Eagles’ Barns concludes prep career at state meet By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ready’s Nick Frye is fired up after winning the 110-meter hurdles in 14.97 seconds in the Division III state meet June 4 at Ohio State. At left is runner-up Miles Dunlap of McDonald.

Ready Roundup

Morris, Frye win titles at state track meet By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A pair of Ready High School track and field competitors concluded memorable prep careers on June 4 where they always had dreamed of being — on the podium at Ohio State. Senior Emily Morris, who was making her fourth trip to the Division II state girls meet, took second in the shot put as a sophomore and third last year before throwing 42 feet, 7 1/4 inches to capture this year’s title. Classmate Nick Frye followed an 11th-place finish in the 110meter hurdles in last year’s Division III boys meet by winning the title, finishing in 14.97 seconds to edge runner-up Miles Dunlap of McDonald (14.99). Also placing for the boys team was sophomore Taron Slone, who took fourth (11.27) in the 100 after finishing 16th a year ago. The top eight in each event reached the podium. Morris won the regional title May 28 by throwing 42-3 1/2 after being in third place heading into her final throw. Her best throw at state came on her first toss, and she followed with two other efforts longer than 42 feet. St. Marys Memorial senior Mekayla Breland won state last year (44-11) but settled for second (42-1/4) this season. Morris plans to attend the University of Notre Dame and compete in track and field. Her 10 points gave Ready a tie for 23rd at state behind champion Hartley (47). “I was a lot more nervous going in, so I’m glad I (threw my best) earlier than I did (at regional),” Morris said. “I’ve been here for four years, so I was ready to do this. A lot of my family was here and all of them had T-shirts on (that said ‘Emily’s Entourage’). My grandma, who is my biggest fan, was able to be here. “I knew I had to do it early so that I could go into the finals ... with a good throw. I knew the girl from St. Marys Memorial was capable because she’s thrown 44 feet this year.” Frye transferred from Central Crossing to Ready after SouthWestern City Schools canceled sports in fall 2009 because of a levy failure. He remained at Ready even after sports in his former district were reinstated. Entering this year’s state meet with the best regional time, Frye ran 14.82 for the best time in the preliminaries June 3 before winning the title the next day.

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Emily Morris of Ready won the shot put with a throw of 42 feet, 7 1/4 inches in the Division II state meet on June 4.

Frye ran 14.72 to win regional May 27. His performance at state helped Ready place 11th (17) behind champion McDonald (44). “It’s very exciting,” said Frye, who plans to attend Ohio State but isn’t sure if he’ll compete in track. “I got out well and didn’t see anybody until the eighth hurdle. I’ve been looking to get a state title since my freshman year. I’ve been working a lot more in the weight room and got in better shape since last year.” Slone had the second-best preliminary time (11.05) but settled for fourth in the 100 final. “I’m kind of upset about it, but I made it to the finals,” Slone said. “I’m a sophomore, so I’m not really supposed to be here yet. It’s a little upsetting, but I’m not complaining. I’ve still got two more years. “My preliminaries time would have won the race. People have been talking to me all week and making me nervous. I wanted to win, but at the same time I’m proud.” Frye and Slone ran on the 800 relay with senior Demetrius Clark and junior Halston Jones that finished seventh (1:30.58). The relay had the fourth-best preliminary time. The same foursome finished 14th (44.98) in the 400 relay,

while Clark finished 16th (11.58) in the 100. “It’s a lot bigger and louder than what it’s been the past few weeks,” Jones said. The girls team finished third (94) in the CCL meet May 14 at Columbus School for Girls behind Hartley (141) and the host Unicorns (114) and ahead of DeSales (76) and Watterson (65). The boys were last (73) behind St. Charles (124), DeSales (116), Hartley (90) and Watterson (83). At district May 21, the girls were sixth (40) in Division II at Hamilton Township behind champion Hartley (111) and the boys were fifth (57) in Division III at Gahanna behind champion Columbus Academy (83.5). The girls then tied for 21st (10) at regional in Dayton behind champion Hartley (82). The boys finished second (45) at regional at Fairfield Union behind Academy (71). In addition to Morris, the girls team will lose sprinter Clare Bochy to graduation. Clark and Frye were joined as seniors on the boys team by Kyle Bergman, Robert Reed and David Schlanser. “It feels good to be (at state),” said Clark, who will play football for Ashland University. “I like this team.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The boys team’s other seniors were Kennon Hunt and Thomas Oedegaard, an exchange student from Norway. Seaburn expects junior thrower Zack Casparro to be a solid contributor next season. Casparro qualified for regional in the discus, finishing 15th (108 feet, 7 inches). Other key contributors next season should be juniors Zach Brewer (high jump/relays), Alex Caperton (distance), Nate Holt (sprints/relays), Nathan Little

(distance), David Mitchell (distance) and David Pashovich (relays) and sophomore Seth Rouch (relays). Thrower Ashley Sterling was the lone senior on the girls team. “The seniors were a great group to work with,” Seaburn said. “I was really happy with them.” At district, Sterling finished 17th (76-8) in the discus and 22nd (26-1/2) in the shot put. Seaburn expects Brittany Barton (sprints), Gabby Norris (distance) and Libby Shannon (distance) to be key contributors next season. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Although it wasn’t the performance he had expected in his final high school track and field meet, Grove City Christian School’s Jaymie Barns was proud of his accomplishments. Barns competed in the Division III 400-meter preliminaries on June 3 at Ohio State, but failed to qualify for the state final June 4. Barns would have finished 14th overall in 51.35 seconds but was disqualified for what coach Brad Seaburn called improper stitching on his shorts. The top two finishers from each heat and the next five finishers with the best times qualified for the final. Barns began focusing on qualifying for a state berth after his junior season. “I’m happy,” he said. “I’m thankful for my family and my coaches (who) were helping me out to get here.” “Jaymie did a really good job this season,” Seaburn said. “I was really impressed. When we started the season, he was pretty much in shape already. I really didn’t have to do a whole lot.” Barns was steady throughout his senior season, winning the 400 (51.83) in the district meet May 21 at Gahanna and the regional (50.03) on May 27 at Fairfield Union. Barns’ efforts helped the Eagles tie West Jefferson for 10th (23 points) at district behind first-place Columbus Academy (83.5) and finish 18th (14) at regional behind first-place Academy (71). Barns also competed in the 100 at regional and finished fifth (11.25), one spot from the final state-qualifying berth. “I feel like I left a good legacy,” Barns said. “I hope all the

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

MENU by G.A. Benton without sounding precious. This translates into meals as good as I’ve recently had anywhere in town. Before eating, though, try one of the Rossi’s wild cocktails, like the giggly Beet Down ($10). Not only does this ruby-colored, hefty, aromatic oddball go down considerably better than it sounds, but I kinda love it. Refreshingly, it’s a bit citrusy with orangekissed 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. It’s huge — a salad king crowned with toasted hazelnuts and a crunchy crostini smeared with Lucky Penny goat

ed 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 mayonnaise-dressed slaw sharpened by sliced

The Rossi Address: 895 N. High St., Short North Phone: 614-299-2810 Web: rossibarandkitchen.com green apple and bits of pickled jalapeno. Surrounding this are gigantic, meaty and creamy corona beans (think extralarge butter beans) that are a riotous pleasure to eat. Combined, it all made for a comfortfood 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.

ers, such as mango and shrimp salad, crunchy Vietnamese fish tacos and fried smelts, and entrees, such as lamb pho and a lamb rice platter. The move was strategic, he said. Nguyen has 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.

Great China has opened in the old Fuddruckers location at 3586 W. Dublin-Granville Road, just east of Sawmill Road. The place offers a full Chinese menu (and a traditional menu for those who ask), plus a few Thai and Japanese dishes, said manager Brad Tsai. Great China seats 120 in roughly 5,000 square feet of space. The restaurant has a full liquor license. It is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614-336-2465. After 21 years in business, the Wine Vault on Sawmill Road has closed. The last day was Saturday, June 4. Manager John Smither, who had been there 16 years, chalked it up to fierce competition, particularly from the chains. “The pie’s not any bigger and it’s getting split thinner and thinner,” he said.

Why Buy New?

Fix What Ya’ Got!

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. MICHELLE When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will be in JOHNSON season on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likely have more beautiful arrangements. 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 frequent-flier 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.
