Clintonville Area Commission

Committee appointments spark controversy

By KEVIN PARKS

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Mike Folmar wanted to be on one Clintonville Area Commission standing committee and D Searcy wanted chairman John DeFourny off of two of them.

Two split votes later, Folmar was still on the sidelines and DeFourny was still a member of the planning and development as well as zoning and variance committees.

Under the bylaws, the chairman of the commission is automatically an ex officio member of zoning and variance as well as planning and development, as are any Mike Folmar commission members in whose districts a matter before those committees is located.

At last week’s monthly meeting, De-

Fourny nominated a trict 4, District 9 resslate of members for ident Abby Rosenplanning and develberger and Ian Macopment that included Connell, former chairhimself, representing man of the UniversiDistrict 8, as chairty Area Commission man.

Musician trains others how to play without pain

By KEVIN PARKS

It began with a remark from Clintonville Area Commission chairman John DeFourny, asking the members of the panel to stick around after last week’ s meeting “for a non-commission issue.”

It concluded with an eruption of anger from District 5 representative Nick Cipiti o ver an email from D Searcy of District 9 to the chairman.

Searcy used the term Nick Cipiti “appalled” to describe her view of his conduct at an earlier committee meeting, and that she used the phrase “thick as thieves” to describe his relationship with the chairman.

DeFourny’s initial plan to handle the matter in private was thwarted when Searcy announced she would not be staying after the monthly session adjourned because she felt a gathering of all members of the commission would be a clear violation of the state’s open-meetings law.

Just before the August meeting was abruptly adjourned, Cipiti said that he initially had asked the chairman to k eep all the commission members after the session because he did not want discussion of Searcy’s email on the record,and “did not want to do this in public.”

He then put it on the record, in public.

The email, according to Cipiti, started off with a description of the vehicle he drove away from a recent zoning and vari-

“I took that into account,Mr. Folmar, and this is the committee I chose to go with,” DeFourny responded. “This is a good, diverse group.”

DeFourny went on to say that another half-dozen or so people had asked to serve on planning and development, and that in making his appointments, he sought to avoid accusations over the makeup of the panel the pre vious year

Eleanor Pearson displays “Cap’n Bob,” a skeleton she uses to demonstrate how to prevent injury from repetitive stress and awkward positions while playing musical instruments.

That musician in the orchestra, the violinist there on the left who seems to be frowning in such concentration as fingers fly along the strings,might actually be grimacing in discomfort.

Lea Pearson knows this from painful personal experience.

It doesn’t have to be that way, according to Pearson, a flute player with a doctor of musical arts degree from Ohio State University.

The Northland resident, who is artistic director of the “UUniverse!” Concert Series at the First Unitarian Universalist Church in Clintonville, learned how to undo the damage her playing and rehearsing were doing to her body.

She now shares that knowledge, not only with other musicians but also with people in many different occupations who can suffer debilitating pain as a result of improperly understanding how their bodies are put together.

Pearson calls herself a “body mapping specialist.”

“A body map is the map in the brain that represents how we think our bodies are put together, an internal representation,” she writes on her website. “Like a roadmap, it governs how we move about the world.”

“It’s an incredibly rewarding profession,” Pearson said.

Her road to mapping the body for other musicians and professionals such as massage therapists, dental technicians and others, began in the small coastal town of Newburyport, Mass., about 35 miles northeast of Boston. She grew up in a family of musicians and, like her three siblings before See MUSICIAN, page A3

Clintonville Area Commission members voted unanimously, and rather quickly, at last week’s monthly sessions to grant variance requests from a Melrose Avenue resident seeking to replace an old and teetering garage with a new, taller one.

Two other matters also related to variances. One was to have been heard at the meeting and the other will be the subject of a public meeting.

The one that was supposed to have been up for the consideration of the full commission involves requests from United Dairy Farmers to install electronic price displays for the gas pumps at two Clintonville locations, 5370 N.

High St. Commission chairman John DeFourny announced that the plans for 4400 N. High would be the subject of a public meeting on Thursday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m. in the North Community Evangelical Lutheran Church, 114 Morse Road.

DeFourny also said that the commission would take up the joint UDF proposals at

the Sept. 1 session,the result of representatives of the sign company going to the wrong location for the Aug. 2 zoning and variance hearing.

Folmar then asked how people not on the committee would be able to ha ve input during the panel’s sessions.

The next meeting for planning and development, DeFourny said, will be at the Whetstone Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library on Tuesday, Aug. 23. It will run from 8 to 9 p.m.,although DeFourny said that the meeting room will be available starting at 7:30.

“Non-members will be able to attend in the audience,” he said.

Folmar was joined by Searcy in voting against the committee membership proposed by DeFourny.

Dave Southan Next, DeFourny turned his attention to zoning and variance.

He had already appointed Nick Cipiti of District 5 as chairman at the July meeting.

Cipiti commented that having With 25,000 people residing in a Realtor, which DeFourny is, on

zoning and variance “is very valuable.”

“Personally, I think it creates a real conflict of interJennifer Kangas est,” Searcy said. “I think if nothing else, it creates the appearance of real impropriety.”

“I think John has been a very valuable asset to that group,” District 7’s Dave Southan said, adding as he pointed to his own head, “He’s got a lot of knowledge up here.”

Folmar and Searcy once again

cast their votes against the proposed membership for zoning and variance.

Voting in James Blazer III favor of it were DeFourny, Cipiti, Southan, Nancy Kuhel of District 2, Rob Wood of District 1, Jennifer Kangas of District 6 and District 3 representative James R. Blazer II. The CAC has a third standing committee to handle elections.

None of the advisory panel’s members may serve on it.

Shared email leads to angry CAC exchanges Continued from page A1 ance committee and included the license plate number. He expressed extreme dismay at this.

Searcy declined the following day to go into detail about why she included that in her electronic communication, which she emphasized was intended for DeFourny only.

She said that it was written out of frustration with the way a developer was treated during the committee session.

“He ignores emails that I send,” Searcy said of DeFourny.

The email went on to describe Cipiti and DeFourny as being “thick as thieves” and to say that Searcy was “appalled at their conduct,” Cipiti said.

After initially agreeing to do so,Searcy declined to provide a copy of the email.

“The email that I sent to John DeFourny on 8/2/2011 was private and to John DeFourny only,” she wrote on Aug. 5.

“John DeFourny will need to release it.”

“This is libelous, D,” Cipiti said at the meeting. “Why would you do something like this?”

Searcy responded that she intended the wording of the communication to elicit a response from DeFourny.

“I said some inflammatory things in there,” Searcy admitted in a telephone interview.

“It was intentionally meant to provoke, and it provoked him, but not to respond to me. I didn’t send it to Nick because I was hoping to have a conversation with John about what happened,but that didn’t happen because instead he sent it to other people.”

District 2 representative Nancy Kuhel said that she received a copy of the Searcy email the day of the commission meeting “and my response is that we are an elected committee of adults.”

Kuhel went on to say that panel members who get into disputes with one another should speak directly and not “entangle” the others in the matter.

Kuhel added that the members “look like we’re 7 years old, arguing with one another.”

“Take care of the issue like grown people,” she said.

Kuhel, too, refused to provide a copy of the electronic document.

“Since the email was not addressed to me or about me, I am not comfortable doing that,” she wrote, “My only point in the whole matter is that we as commissioners should discuss differences in a mature and respectful manner with each other.”

Cipiti replied to an email request for a copy of Searcy’s communication by saying DeFourny would provide it.

What DeFourny provided was a photocopy of the document as an attachment

to an email. He also sent a response to the original document.

What Searcy wrote, in part, was: “Great to have coffee with you today.

Tonight Nick was driving a white or lightcolored midsize car – I couldn’t see the model or make. License number (redacted) Ohio.

“Nick and DeF ourny are thick as thieves. You would have been appalled at the conduct of DeF ourny, (District 7 representative Dave) Southan and Cipiti tonight. Too long to write about but together they really broadsided Metropolitan Partners. More to come later.”

“First, I did not meet privately with Searcy this week, last week or in recent history,” DeFourny wrote.

“Second, I do not drink coffee, which a lot of people kno w, including Ms. Searcy.

“Third and foremost the email was originally sent to me by mistak e. Normally, I would disregard such an email.

However, the content of this particular email was disturbing and potentially harmful to this community and fello w commissioners.

“This email was obviously written in anger, possibly mental exhaustion after a very long day and possibly while wired on caffeine. Haven’t we all inadvertently sent an email?

“It is the way in which we handle it afterward which counts. A lot of this

could have blown over if Ms. Searcy had simply come clean and apologized for her actions.”

Searcy sought to explain during the meeting that she had written the purposely “inflammatory” email in a manner different from that which she normally uses to communicate.

“D, I don’t believe you,” DeFourny replied. “Balderdash, would be my response.”

The meeting ended on a motion from District 4 representative Mike Folmar as the rancor threatened to continue.

“When confronted about the email, her excuses are not believable,” DeFourny wrote in his response.

“Even if Ms. Searcy sent the email ‘for my review,’ as she claimed publicly, it shows premeditation and questionable actions of her as a commissioner. Commissioners are supposed to represent the neighborhood.

“Her actions are anything but civil in this email. Her response to this community when confronted about it w as also less than civil and her leaving the meeting demonstrates a refusal to deal with the issue she created.

“Commissioner Searcy owes this community and the commissioners an apology for her actions.” kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Trolley tours coming back for Cruise the Ville Continued from page A1 “That was really a very cold day and we had over 300 people riding the trolley,” society president Mary Rodgers said last week. “We thought it was very successful and people kept asking us if we were going to do it again.”

As a result of those requests and that success, Rodgers said that board members decided to add a tour on the same day as Cruise the Ville, the annual car show and cruise-in at Whetstone Park and throughout the neighborhood, as well as possibly again in December.

“I think it’s probably going to be a bigger success this time because it won’t be freezing cold, and it is free,” Rodgers said. “It’s a great time.”

The route for Aug. 20 is slightly changed from that of Dec. 4 as a result of all the activities in the park associated with the chamber event.

Instead of going down Hollen-

back Road, Rodgers said that the trolleys will take Weisheimer Road to Olentangy Street in order to pick up people at the park’s casting pond. Most of the time, the tour stays on North High Street but the route also takes in Indianola Avenue and East North Broadway.

The tour starts in the parking lot of the old North High School on Arcadia Avenue.

The society has rented two trolleys that will run continuously between noon and 4 p.m., according to Rodgers.

The vehicles are, according to the website of the Plain City-based Columbus Trolley Co., “authentic San Francisco-styled”trolleys.

“The tour has 13 stops,including the Whetstone Park casting pond where riders can visit the Cruise the Ville car show,” Rodgers wrote in a recent historical society newsletter. “If you hop off during the tour, another trolley will be by in about 20 minutes; simply hop back on.

“The tour is free,but donations

are always appreciated.”

The total ride, including all 13 stops at historic sites or the sites of former historic structures,takes about 40 minutes, according to the historical society president.

“We cover a lot of ground in a pretty short time,” Rodgers said.

The route stops in the Beechwold area, with the trolleys going no farther north than Jeffrey Place.

“Maybe one day, if people consider it to be a fun thing,we’ll try

to expand on it,because there are some sites on Morse Road that we would like to consider,” Rodgers said. “We talk about those as we travel on High Street but we don’t actually drive by them.”

Columbus Trolley Co. provides the drivers while historical society volunteers use the vehicle’s public address system to inform riders what they are seeing.

The chamber’s Cruise the Ville runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the

park. A nine-mile “Super Cruise” of vintage vehicles through Clintonville takes place at 4 p.m.,and awards in various categories are handed out at 4:30.

Events that run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Whetstone Park will include, according to the Cruise the Ville website: • Touch-a-Truck.

• A children’s area with climbing wall or inflatables.

• The Bill Foley Band and other

entertainment.

• A Business Showcase Circle serving food and beverages.

• The Boy Scouts of America 100th anniversary Pinewood Derby racing.

• A hog roast.

• Grilling demonstrations.

• A fresh produce market.

• Kayaking demonstrations in the park.

• Pet adoptions by the Capital Area Humane Society.

Musician trains others how to play without pain Continued from page A1 her, Pearson began taking piano lessons at the age of 6.

She made the switch to flute in high school, which she attended in Boston.

After graduating, Pearson attended Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass., where she studied music, psychology and education.

“It took me about 50 years to get to the point where I used all of those at once,” she said last week.

Pearson spent four years working in the mental health field but missed music, not only playing it but also learning about it. Instead of continuing her studies at a conservatory, Pearson chose to attend “a place that would nurture my desire to learn from a broad perspective,” she wrote in an article for the National Flute Association’s magazine. That place turned out to be Stanford University, where she studied in a special program on baroque performance, and where she met her husband, Tony McDonald, now the music director at the Unitarian Univer-

salist Church.

The couple went on to teach at small colleges in Michigan, and Pearson performed in professional and semi-professional orchestras.

A problem that first cropped up when Pearson was 18, namely numbness in her left hand while practicing on the flute, cropped up again during the 10 years the couple spent in Michigan.

“I didn’t know what it was,” she said. “I had no way of knowing what it was.”

After they moved to Kentucky so Tony McDonald could take a teaching job at Centre College, Pearson took time off from playing to rear their children.

The numbness and pain went away.

“I know that I wasn’t using my body well,” Pearson said.

She and McDonald came to Columbus about 14 years ago.

Pearson enrolled in the doctoral program at OSU and it was there that she was introduced to the Alexander Technique, named for Australian actor Frederick Matthias Alexander (1869-1955) who discovered that his chronic laryngitis while performing was caused

by excess tension in his neck and body.

“It is a simple and practical method for improving ease and freedom of movement, balance, support and coordination,” according to the website for The Complete Guide to the Alexander Technique. “The technique teaches the use of the appropriate amount of effort for a particular activity, giving you more energy for all your activities. It is not a series of treatments or exercises, but rather a reeducation of the mind and body.”

Pearson studied privately for five years with internationally renowned Alexander Technique teacher Barbara Conable, who eventually came to feel that, after saving the careers of hundreds of musicians, doing so one player at a time was taking too long.

Conable wrote, among other books, “What Every Musician Needs to Know About the Body,” and set about training musicians to, in turn, train others in the Alexander Technique.

Pearson was among the first dozen or so to receive the training.

Now she passes that knowledge on to others, often with the visual-aid help of a miniature skeleton she has named “Cap’n Bob.” “Musicians have to do the most refined movement of almost every profession,” Pearson said in an interview. “It’s incredibly detailed.

It’s repetitive and its success depends on use of the entire body that is loose and free and efficient.”

It’s not always an easy task to impart these lessons, she admitted. Some musicians stubbornly believe pain is the price they have to pay in order to play.

The same thing applies to many other types of activities.

“There are a lot of professions where people burn out quickly,” Pearson said. “If you’re using your body badly while you’re doing your work, it’s going to take a toll.” kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

CAC to review two larger variances Continued from page A1 likely to be tabled.

The request from sign company officials only came in the afternoon of the area commission’s meeting for August, DeFourny responded. He added that they would be back before zoning and variance to plead their case on Tuesday, Aug. 30.

The 4400 N. High St. project, according to documents submitted to the CAC, will initially involve renovation of the existing four-story office building on the site, followed by construction of two other buildings, the first one on the north part of the lot and the second to the south.

“Each phase will be initiated as marketing conditions are appropriate,” the rezoning application signed by attorney Jack Reynolds on behalf of Metropolitan Partners and Henderson Partners LLC states.

The variance issue that is to eventually come before the area commission involves a reduction in required parking spaces from 291 to 131, according to the document, as well as the leasing

of some additional parking on nearby property owned by Columbus City Schools.

The Melrose Avenue variance, sought by homeowners Randy and Laura Sanders, involves increasing the height of a replacement garage from the permitted 15 feet to 22 feet, with a dormer on the north side facing an alley to provide additional storage.

Nearby residents were sent letters informing them of the request and no complaints were received about it, according to District 3 representative James R. Blazer II. At the request of D Searcy, who represents District 9, Laura Sanders consented to have a planned architectural detail for the new garage, similar to one on the house, be made an official part of the request.

The garage height change will go before the Board of Zoning Appeals on Aug. 23. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Commentary & opinion As it were

Artists bring their talent to Ohio’s ‘infant’ capital Perhaps because Columbus is the state capital, it should not be surprising that there would be a couple of artists practicing their trade in the early history of the town.

Established as a created capital city in 1812, Columbus was somewhat isolated in its early years. The village was overshadowed by frontier Franklinton across the Scioto during the War of 1812. Columbus only had a few hundred residents when President James Monroe whipped through in 1817 and dubbed it an “infant city.”

When English immigrant William Bambrough arrived in town from England in 1819 at the age of 27, most of the streets were still simple dirt paths. The only substantial structures in town were the buildings on Statehouse Square and the rather formidable prison where the Cultural Arts Center is today. Still, Bambrough, an accomplished sketch artist, thought there might be a future for him in the new town.

As things turned out, he was right — but just barely. A lover of nature, Bambrough bought a house lot “out in the country” near the corner of Long and High streets and, in due course, planted an elaborate flower garden around his cottage. A naturalist at heart, Bambrough made the acquaintance of John James Audubon and accompanied him on several field trips through the South between 1824 and 1832.

Returning to Columbus, he lived modestly until his death in 1860. His most commonly observed work in Columbus was a full-length portrait of George Washington, which was placed in the Statehouse.

By the time he died, Bambrough had seen the arrival of a canal and several railroads, and the growth of the town to a city of more than 18,000 people.

He had also seen the emergence of several competitors.

Some of the competition came from the new art of photography.

Faster and simpler than portrait painting, the first daguerreotype studio was opened in Columbus in 1840, only a year after Louis Daguerre invented the process in France.

By 1842, there were several “Daguerrean Artistes” operating in Columbus. But for many people, only a formal “sitting” for one’s portrait would do.

To meet the need for such portraits, the formidable family of John Macey Walcutt rose to the challenge.

Walcutt came to Columbus early in its history. A carpenter and cabinetmaker by trade, he bought a lot at the southwest corner of Town and High streets and opened a shop in his front room.

Wandering across the river to Franklinton, Walcutt met and married Mariel Broderick, a daughter of one of the earliest settlers in the area. Over the next couple of decades, the Walcutts had no fewer than 17 children.

Twelve of them lived to maturity and three of the sons of John and Mariel Walcutt would be-

come wellknown American artists, even though none of them had much formal training until they were ED adults.

LENTZ George Walcutt painted portraits and landscapes and assisted in his father’s chair business. He raised a company of soldiers to fight in the Mexican War. Noted for his historical knowledge, he once won a medal in a statewide history contest in Cincinnati.

His brother, David Walcutt, was primarily a portrait painter, and many of his portraits of Ohio’s governors are still hanging in the Statehouse. David Walcutt later went into partnership with Cincinnati sculptor Thomas Jones for a time, and then went on to open a portrait studio in St. Louis.

Probably the best-known of the Walcutt artists was the older brother of George and David.

William Walcutt was born in Columbus in 1819. Specializing in portrait painting, he acquired a reputation that brought him work from eastern cities as well as the rest of the state of Ohio.

In middle age, he traveled to Europe and studied with some of the best French painters of the mid-19th century. In time, he would become the first American to be awarded a medal by the French Academy.

Returning to America, William Walcutt spent most of his later career as a sculptor. Some of his more memorable works included the Perry monument in Cleveland and the statue of Dr. Samuel Smith that stood for many years at the corner of Broad and High streets.

The story of the travels of the statue of Dr. Smith probably deserves a story in its own right.

Originally commissioned by his family, the statue extended a bit into the street. Eventually becoming a traffic hazard, the statue was moved several times, stolen at one time and recovered, and stands today on the OSU campus near the College of Medicine.

As more artists came to Columbus, the Walcutt family competed by opening one of the first art galleries in the city on the site of their father’s carpentry shop. Branching out from there, the family later expanded the gallery to include other exhibits and opened the city’s first and only Dime Museum.

The museum included all sorts of examples of taxidermy, souvenirs and mementos from famous and infamous people, and paintings and sculpture from the prolific Walcutt family. It was apparently a wonder to behold.

Unable to compete against the formidable Walcutts, John Henry Witt carved out a niche of his own. Born in Wayne County in 1840, Witt trained as an artist in Cincinnati and came to Columbus in 1862, during the American Civil War. After buying a home on Franklin Avenue near Washington Boulevard, he began to paint portraits of prominent military and political figures.

Handsome and socially adept, Witt soon was painting governors and generals until he left Columbus in 1878 for New York and Washington.

One of the people Witt left behind in Columbus was his pupil, Silas Martin. Born in Columbus in 1841, Martin grew up in Westerville and studied art with the wife of the president of Otterbein College. She later would become a pupil of his.

Martin came to Columbus, studied with Witt and turned to portrait painting. He painted a number of prominent people, including Gov. William McKinley.

In his later career, he turned his attention to landscapes.

In 1889, Silas Martin became head of the art department at Ohio State University, serving until his death in 1906. By that time, Columbus boasted well-established art schools, a Gallery of Fine Arts and a whole new generation of Columbus artists.

Many of them, like George Bellows and Alice Schille, would set new standards for a new century.

But that is another story for another day.

Founder: Cyber Block Watch making an impact

By GARY SEMAN JR.

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Four months after its launch, the Cyber Block Watch website is gaining momentum.

The web-based crime-fighting tool, founded by Jeffery Smith, now has more than 300 subscribers and recently received a $1,000 grant from the Coalition for a Nonviolent Columbus.

Smith used the grant money to buy static-cling window decals.

The decals, which bear the Cyber Block Watch insignia, are available for free at the German Village Meeting Haus, 588 S. Third St. “Over 300 people so far have chosen to participate and help make a difference in our neighborhood,” Smith said. “That says a lot, especially with a new idea like this. I built the site, but they

are helping make it what it is and will be.”

Smith said he is not done improving the website, www.cyberblockwatch.com, which provides contacts at the Columbus Division of Police, offers safety tips and sends out electronic alerts when a crime is reported to police or suspicions activity is observed.

“As far as expansion, I have many ideas,” he said. “Next, we are looking to build out five more sites in nearby neighborhoods through partnerships and sponsors. But these will be more comprehensive sites in nature that will include more community-oriented information, with more features and tools to help share and communicate, as well as a complete administrative-training program.”

The website, which went live April 1, already is earning respect

in the neighborhood.

Jerry Glick, who organizes the monthly police luncheons at the German Village Meeting Haus, said he welcomes the online crimefighting tool.

“Anything that makes people aware is good,” he said.

In addition, Smith said, it appears police officers have stepped up their patrols in the GermanVillage neighborhood because of the website.

“But they can’t do it all themselves, so, hopefully, this site will help prevent and reduce crime by actively engaging local citizens through Cyber Block Watch,” he said.

Using the Internet is a fairly new technique in fighting crime throughout central Ohio. The Columbus city attorney’s office has been using social media in its quest to arrest fugitives. Previous

ways of communicating with large groups of people were done by phone and mail.

“So if you have a community of shared interest that includes 300 persons, then someone has to make 300 phone calls or mail 300 cards or letters,” city attorney Richard C. Pfeiffer Jr. said. “With the Internet, it takes less than a second to push ‘send.’ The only extended time required is composing the message, which contains the important information. All 300 get the information simultaneously and therefore, can act in concert immediately.”

But some neighborhoods have been slow to catch on or use the Internet in an effective manner.

David Paul, president of Northland Community Council and member of the Forest Park Block Watch, said there has been limited success in disseminating in-

formation through a local online forum. Similarly, the Northland Area Business Watch had an email list alerting members of criminal activity, among other things, he said.

The problem with volunteerrun sites is that enthusiasm, and therefore participation, runs hot in the beginning but tends to ebb as time goes on unless a dedicated group exists to keep people interested, Paul said.

The Forest Park Block Watch has fewer than 200 members in a 3,000-household neighborhood.

“We really need more members to make it more effective,” Paul said.

Dave Southan, a member of the Clintonville Area Commission, said the neighborhood doesn’t have an electronic resource in battling crime but he sees inherent value in using the web to help.

“Let’s face it, everything else has gone computerized,” he said.

“If everybody had a computer and knew how to use it,that would be great for people to check in periodically to see what’s going on in their neighborhood.”

Chile Verde Café serves familiar fare with a special twist There’s a combo platter of reasons why El Cheapo, order-bynumbers, Mexican-ish restaurants are plentiful and popular in Columbus.

Let’s face it: Dining at these generally fun margarita-hustling and “enchirito”-slinging casas is like party-crashing your way into an instant fiesta.

Then dig into free chips and salsa; they’ll practically arrive at your table simultaneously with you.

First of all, rather than risibly making bogus claims of Mexican authenticity, Chile Verde wears its gringo-ness on its salsa-splattered sleeves. See, this non-chain joint goes its own southwestern way, whipping up familiar yet distinct (and quite spic y) food it proudly refers to as “the cuisine of New Mexico.” So expect the usual taco, enchilada and chile relleno-type fare to be served with a special twist, and expect a few unexpected dishes, too.

Food-wise, no visit to Chile Verde is complete for me without a big bowl of the terrific Green Chile Stew ($5.50). Topped with cheese and tasting tangy, smoky and fiercely spicy, it’s filled with chunks of beef, potatoes, beans and carrots and is a must.

Here, you can make neat sauceand-meat combinations like shredded beef with the killer chile verde or mushroom merlot sauces; chunky chicken with a zingy chile rojo (spicy roasted red chiles enriched with chicken stock) or salsalike ranchero sauces.

Ordering the Combo Plato dinner affords tons of mix-and-match options (three mains, two sides for $13). You could choose a very good chile relleno properly leavened with egg whites to go with a masa-intense tamale and a meaty fajita taco. As for sides,I’d avoid the boring rice and go with the hearty, dip-like black beans and unusual, dense skin-on smashed potatoes with a hint of cinnamon.

Policy banning children uinder 6 not embraced locally A Pittsburgh-area restaurateur’s decision to ban children younger than 6 has drawn varied reactions from local restaurateurs and diners.

Mike Vuick instituted the mandate last month at his restaurant, McDains Restaurant & Golf Center in sub urban Monroeville, saying it was not a place for young kids. He said he was also tired of fighting with parents who couldn’t control their young ones.

But many central Ohio restaurant owners don’t seem likely to embrace that edict any time soon.

David Mor, owner of Oli ve Tree Mediterranean Café in Hilliard, said chil-

dren come with the territory.

“That’s my biggest joy — kids at this age starting healthy eating habits,” he said. “A lot of parents, they don’t want kids eating ketchup and fries. Those young working couples, where can they go?”

Carla Piolata said very few families bring young children to her restaurant, Cibo, an upscale Italian restaurant in Upper Arlington.

“But the ones we get, they are treated very well,” she said.

Still, both restaurateurs acknowledge that unruly behavior will not be tolerated.

“We expect the parents to control their

kids,” Mor said. “My concern is it’ s not only unf air to the other diners but it’s a liability issue.”

Even the tony Refectory on the Northwest Side has experienced its occasional brush with out-of-control children, owner Kamal Boulos said. That presents a dicey situation for restaurant managers.

“If the parents aren’t sensitive to the actions of their children, there’s really no easy way or gracious way you can help them to see that without offending them,” he said.

Reached last week by phone, Vuick said the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Lately, emails have been 20-1 in favor of the policy, he said. Patrons have been relaying their own stories about unruly conduct by children and lack of discipline from parents.

“There’s a lot of frustration and disgust out there toward this kind of behavior,” he said.

He said he didn’t do it for the publicity. But patrons have come from as far as Columbus and Cleveland to show their support.

“I thought this would pass,” he said.

“I was wrong.”

Since the policy was instituted July 16, receipts are up 20 percent, despite threats of boycotts, he said. So far, nobody has tried to challenge the policy in person, so he hasn’t had to turn anybody away.

Local diner Geoffrey Matwich, who

has a 2-year-old, said certain dining experiences are good for both parents and children, but not all venues are appropriate.

“As a parent who still enjoys going www.ThisWeekNews.com/foodandwine First Draft out to nice restaurant every once in awhile without my child,I find it not columnist Michael in the best interest of the child to put Paull recommends them in an environment where you Mad Hatter’s farmexpect them to sit and be quiet for house IPA, a truly long periods of time,” he said. “You unique drink for a wouldn’t take your child to the art long summer gallery or a symphony concert. Why evening.

Michael Paull would you take them to a high-end Recipe of the week restaurant setting?”

Sue Bellan, another local diner who doesn’t have children, said she understands the struggle with the issue.

“I can certainly appreciate some of the higher-end restaurants having a policy of that nature so that they can offer a certain atmosphere in their restaurants, as that is what the majority of their clientele are paying for,” Bellan said. “However, on the flip side, if you are going to a mid-scale or family restaurant, you should expect that there will be families there with young children and not be upset with them acting up a bit,as children Chocolate torte with fresh whipped do.”

Football

Race for postseason begins opening week

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A little more than two weeks remain before the first official snaps are taken on central Ohio high school football fields.

For traditional playoff contenders, the first regular-season game begins a journey that includes the expectation that it might take a dozen games or more before true satisfaction comes.

The teams in the middle, meanwhile, enter the season with a different kind of anxiousness.

One team from Division I, Region 3 — Lancaster — went 7-3 and failed to make the playoffs last year. There were seven other teams in the region that went 5-5 or 6-4 and had their seasons end before the postseason.

For programs such as Gahanna and Upper Arlington where long playoff runs have come in the recent past, the need to move back into the postseason race is one that can be a consuming desire.

Gahanna has missed the playoffs the past three seasons after qualifying for the postseason five of the pre-

vious seven seasons. Upper Arlington has missed the postseason the past two years after making the playoffs nine of the previous 12 years. The Golden Bears won the Division I state title in 2000.

“Obviously, winning football teams are expected at Gahanna Lincoln,” Lions coach John Snoad said. “We’ve been a .500 team, and that’s not acceptable in our community. They understand there’s a great tradition with great playoff teams. Last year, we were literally three points away from being 7-3 and the eighth seed.

“A good team has good discipline.

The key here is if we take care of business in key plays. Those are the things that separate the fine line between being 5-5 and being 7-3 or 8-2. We have some tremendous talent, and now we have to work very hard to get strong in the weight room and get out and be disciplined.”

Others in Region 3 left on the outside a year ago when each went 6-4 were Pickerington North, Groveport, Olentangy Liberty and Mount Vernon.

One school in particular that hopes failing to make the postseason won’t

become a habit is Liberty, which had made six consecutive postseason appearances before last season.

Olentangy, Dublin Jerome, Dublin Scioto, Olentangy Orange and Watkins Memorial all were 6-4 but were left on the outside of the Division II, Region 7 playoffs a year ago.

Among the others hoping to be breakout teams this year are Granville and Licking Heights, both of which went 7-3 last year but failed to make the Division III, Region 11 playoffs.

Commentary

Athletes admire, inspired by heroes There are youngsters in central Ohio who want to develop into the athlete and person that the high school students writing in my summer series are today. These bowlers, football players, golfers, soccer players, track athletes and wrestlers are held in the highest LARRY esteem by LARSON younger athletes who know their accomplishments.

So, who are the heroes for these role models? Let’s find out.

Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “I admire (NFL quarterback) Tim Tebow because he is a Christian athlete and strong in his faith. He never let anybody tell him he couldn’t achieve what he wanted to and he worked hard to get what he wanted.”

Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “My hero is (pole vaulter) Tim Mack. I have met him a couple of times and he has been someone who I have admired for a while. I like the way he jumps and the way he teaches.”

Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “My biggest role model is my older sister, Domini. She is a great human being who has great morals and is always willing to help others and myself.

I love her so much and she has helped me get through some truly tough times.”

Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “My role model is my father because he is a very dedicated man and has always been my idol.”

Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “My hero is my father, Dave Delande. He is always there for me, gives me great advice as well as good coaching tips.”

Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “My top hero or role model is (professional bowler) Kelly Kulick because she was the first woman to win the USBC Tournament of Champions.”

Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “My best hero?

This year I don’t have a best. So many people have been the light when I needed one with encouragement and support. They all are like family in shining armor.”

Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “My hero is God. It is sacrifice and love for others that can be translated into the love you must have for your teammates and the selflessness you must have on the field.”

Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “My grandparents are my heroes. They have always supported me in golf and in life and I have learned so much from them.”

Hilliard Davidson’s Bo Delande looks to elude a Mentor defender during the Wildcats’ 36-35 double-overtime victory in the Division I state championship game on Dec. 2, 2006, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton. Delande scored all five touchdowns for the Wildcats and ran for the decisive two-point conversion.

Top Individual Performances: No. 1

Delande delivered Wildcats’ title

Counting down to No. 1

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Former Hilliard Davidson High School football standout Bo Delande fondly recalls highstepping into the end zone with the winning two-point conversion in the 2006 Division I state championship game.

The 6-foot, 185-pound running back’s score lifted Davidson to a 36-35 double-overtime win over Mentor on Dec. 2, 2006, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton. It was the Wildcats’ first state championship and the first Division I state final decided in overtime.

Delande finished the game with five touchdowns and 236 yards rushing on 47 carries. His five touchdowns set a state tournament record.

“I think about the game all the time,” Delande said. “It’s something me and my buddies still talk about. I’ll remember that forever — not only for my personal performance but also the team as a whole. I’ll always remember that game.”

Delande, a 2007 Davidson graduate, keeps many memen-

ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered.

Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list.

Below are Nos. 2-10. Let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

NOS. 2-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries.

9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 5135 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four

steals and two assists.

8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two staterecord relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24).

7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament.

Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the free-throw line.

He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists.

6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a

time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held.

5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 15-9 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining.

4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 41 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd.

3. GREG AVERY, Newark boys basketball (March 15, 2008) — Avery led the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory over

Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game. The 6-3 senior forward tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals as the Wildcats captured their first state title since 1943. Avery made third-team all-state his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. He became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 points, finishing with 1,131 career points.

2. RYAN WILSON, Westerville North boys track and field (June 5-6, 1998) — Wilson qualified for the Division I state meet in four events all four years of his prep career. Perhaps his greatest feat at state occurred in 1998, as he lived up to his own high expectations in many aspects, winning the long jump (23 feet, 1 inch) on the first day of competition and coming back on day two with titles in the 110-meter hurdles (13.95 seconds) and 300 hurdles (37.1). He also placed seventh in the 200. The three titles he won that weekend gave North 30 points and a cochampionship in Division I with Brunswick. In 1999, he defended his titles in the 110 hurdles (13.7) and 300 hurdles (36.46).

Delande said. “Also, we had tough, too. They helped out a Connor Dietz at quarterback. lot. We had a talented team that We had Clay Trubiano (at slotSee DELANDE, page B2 back). Our defense was pretty

Ohio Dragons win 18U World Series title

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In early July, the Ohio Dragons 18and-under fastpitch travel softball team wasn’t sure if it was going to follow up on a trip it had earned in mid-June.

“We qualified for the USSSA Eastern Regional World Series in the second week of June by finishing second in a qualifier in Beavercreek,” coach Ken Seidel said. “But we reached a point where we talked about not going because we weren’t playing to our abiliSee LARSON, page B2 ty and it could be a waste of time and

money.”

The team started to play better, however, and made the decision to compete in the World Series, which was July 2530 in Salisbury, Md. The Dragons had a 17-18 record before leaving but went 7-1-1 to win the double-elimination tournament, which featured 27 teams from seven states.

“The girls went crazy on the field when it was over,” said Seidel, who was assisted by Warren Shoff. “It was a special moment for us. We stayed the night (July 30) after we won and I woke up the next morning wondering if it was

all a dream. But then I looked over and saw the trophy. “(The championship) proved what we knew all along, that the team we had was capable of big things if they played to their abilities. I’m not sure the girls knew it or believed it, but we could tell that if they put it all together, this was a special group.”

Even more special is that everyone on the roster is eligible to return next season.

“In about one month, we went from underachieving and wondering what will happen next year to now, where all

the girls are excited and wanted the season to continue,” Seidel said.

The team was comprised of four graduates, seven seniors and one junior representing six high schools.

Graduates on the roster were Katy Bender, Amanda Jones and Kaylee Shoff of Pickerington Central and Skyle Dorsey of Central Crossing.

Gahanna was represented by seniors Tanya Busby, Kate Hann and Sarah Seidel and junior Sara Nelson, with Westerville North seniors Sami Dustman and See DRAGONS, page B2

year.”

With Davidson trailing 35-28 in the second overtime, Delande took the handoff from Dietz on first down at the Mentor 10-yard line and fumbled at the 6. Mentor’s Danny Kelley appeared to recover the ball at the 1, but the ball squirted loose and Davidson lineman Mike Saul recovered it at the 3.

Delande scored on the next play, making it 35-34. Then, during a pair of timeouts by the Wildcats, kicker Colby Catlett ran on and then off the field. Catlett actually was lined up for the extra-point attempt that coach Brian White later admitted would have been a fake before the second timeout was called. After the second timeout, White opted to put his offense on the field and give the ball to Delande.

“None of us coaches had any idea during the course of the game that Bo had scored one, two, three, four or five touchdowns,” White said. “It’s not like we purposely were trying to get him to score touchdowns. We were running our offense.

The thing that gets lost a little bit — and I believe Bo would be the first to admit this — is the offensive line we had that year was pretty special.”

A preferred walk-on at Ohio State in 2007 who is preparing for his senior season with the Buckeyes, Delande finished the 2006 season with a program-record 2,208 yards rushing and 23 touchdowns on 398 carries. He was named first-team all-OCC-Buckeye Division and alldistrict and special mention all-state.

Rowland pitched for the Dragons and allowed a run in both the fourth and fifth, but she retired Churchville in order in the sixth and seventh as Ohio held on for a 3-2 win.

“I think Alli Rowland pitched all but four innings and she was strong,” coach Seidel said.

“We also had some great outfield play, especially Tanya Busby. We added her before the tournament and she solidified our outfield. Sara Nelson also made some terrific plays at third base throughout the tournament.”

“He never falls backward, he’s always falling forward. He gets positive yardage.”

Davidson rushed for 345 yards on 72 carries against Mentor, outmatching the Cardinals’ nohuddle offense that passed for 327 yards.

“That had to be the most ridiculous ending to a game, let alone a season, that I can remember,” said Dietz, who is entering his senior year at the U.S. Air Force Academy. “Everything fell into place.”

“It was a pretty special night for everybody in Hilliard,” White said. “It was one of those things that you never expect to happen and when it happens I don’t know if you really know how to react to it. Everybody tells you enjoy the moment, but at that time you’re so concentrated on what you’re trying to accomplish, I don’t know that you can really enjoy it. We’ve certainly looked back upon it with some fond memories since then.”

Delande, who had rushed for 1,304 and nine touchdowns as a junior at Davidson, is the oldest of three brothers who have excelled athletically for the Wildcats.

Spencer Delande was a key member of the football team when it won the 2009 state championship by defeating Cleveland Glenville 1615 in the Division I final. Chase Delande won the Division I state wrestling title at 145 pounds last March as a junior and also is a member of the football team.

•NEW LEADERS — There were several coaching changes among central Ohio’s programs during the offseason, and three of them have new coaches named White.

Buddy White has taken over Reynoldsburg’s program after previously serving as an assistant with the Raiders. Last year, he was an assistant at Hartley, which won the Division IV state championship.

Trevor White is Brookhaven’s new coach. He is a former Bearcats and Marion-Franklin assistant who will try to return Brookhaven to its past success after a 5-5 season last fall.

“I was pretty familiar with a lot of the guys and we’ve been working with a lot of them since January,” Trevor White said. “It’s exciting to do football pretty soon. Everybody really wants to move forward, and I’m pretty excited for the seniors.”

The other new “White” is Westland’s Steve White, who is a former Grove City assistant.

“As a first-year coach, it’s a chance to finally get a stamp on things,” Steve White said. “I’ve worked for three different guys and this is a chance to do some things from my own standpoint.”

Other new coaches in central Ohio include Lewis Carter at Columbus East, Shawn Hinkle at Canal Winchester, Mike LoParo at Hilliard Bradley, Tom Roberts at Northridge and Zebb Schroeder at Delaware.

Jim Collis will be coaching Columbus Academy after coach Mark Barren died June 9 following a heart attack. Collis coached the Vikings from 1996-2006, and they won the Division V state title in 2003.

Men’s Basketball

Area players contribute to Wooster’s success

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

One of the things that attracted Justin Hallowell to play for the College of Wooster’s men’s basketball team was the Scots’ winning tradition.

Wooster had the best winning percentage of any Division III team in the 2000s and made runs to a national semifinal in 2003 and 2007. But according to Hallowell, the Scots took the next step after Nathan Balch transferred to Wooster from the University of Missouri-Kansas City before the 2008-09 season.

“Nathan and I had played against each other a couple of times in high school,” said Hallowell, a 2008 Thomas Worthington High School graduate.

“When I heard he was transferring here, I immediately got in touch with him. We talked a lot during the summer (of 2008).

When he got to school, it was like we had been playing together for a year already.”

Hallowell and Balch, a 2007 Olentangy graduate, joined a contingent of central Ohio players that helped lead Wooster to a 31-3 record last season. The Scots lost to the Uni versity of St. Thomas (St. Paul, Minn.) 7854 in their f irst appearance in the Division III national championship game on March 19 in Salem, Va. Balch (12.1 points, 3.4 rebounds), Hallowell (11.9 points, 6.1 rebounds) and 2007 St. Charles graduate Bryan Wickliffe (10.1 points, 6.4 rebounds) were among the Scots’top four scorers. Ian Franks led the team in scoring, averaging 18.3 points.

Balch, a 6-foot-1 guard who finished his college career tied for 22nd on Wooster’s all-time scoring list in three seasons with the program with 1,136 points, was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches Honors Court for his work in the classroom and made f irst-

team all-NCAC. Wickliffe, a 6-5 center who finished as Wooster’s 10th-leading rebounder (754) and 15thleading scorer (1,193 points), and Hallowell, a 6-7 forward, were named second-team all-NCAC. Forward Mike Evans, a 2008 Pickerington North graduate, and guards Doug Thorpe, a 2010 Eastmoor Academy graduate, and Bryce Agler, a 2010 Olentangy Orange graduate, played supporting roles last season.

“Last season was everything I hoped for,” said Balch, who was team captain. “Ev er since I was a little kid, I dreamed of playing in the national championship game. It was a great feel-

ing to actually live that out.”

Balch, who a veraged 2.8 points in his one season with UMKC, didn’t like his role with the Kangaroos, who finished 1121 that season.

“I didn’t want to be one of these guys who came of f the bench and was a fill-in player,” he said. “I wanted to be a major contributor to the team with a winning tradition.”

After talking with Wickliffe during a visit to Wooster, Balch knew he had found where he wanted to be. Being part of a group of Columb us players made Balch feel at home at Wooster.

“When I went UMKC, I

didn’t have anything in common with my teammates, ” he said. “We played against similar teams, so it was fun to talk about the experiences we had.

It was nice to have (being from Columbus) in common.”

None of the six area players on Wooster’s roster last season had experienced anything like the Scots’ run to the championship game. Only Thorpe, who was on Eastmoor’s team that lost to Toledo Libbey 59-50 in a 2008 regional semifinal, had been on a district championship team in high school.

Wooster, which had finished 25-6 overall in the 2009-10 season after losing 75-68 to Guilford Technical Community Col-

playing well and I think we can do big things in the tournament.’

That helped everyone’s morale and made us play better and better.”

The Scots won their next 10 games, including a 47-45 win over Manchester Community College (Manchester, N.H.) in the second round of the national tournament on March 5 and a 73-71 win over Williams College (Williamstown, Mass.) on March 18.

However, in the national title game, St. Thomas built a 46-26 lead midway through the second half. Wooster went on a 10-0 run, which included a 3-pointer by Balch, to cut St. Thomas’ lead in half but could get no closer.

It was the second time in two years that St. Thomas had routed Wooster, as the Scots lost to the Tommies 84-53 at home on Nov. 21, 2009. The 31-point margin of defeat was the worst loss for Wooster since the Scots lost to Gannon University (Erie, Pa.) 95-53 on Nov. 23, 1999. It also marked Wooster’s widest margin of defeat at home since a 110-77 loss to Ohio Wesleyan on Jan. 14, 1987.

“It was awful,” Balch said.

“They must be our kryptonite or something. As we started to see it slip a way from us, it really hurt us. We were having such a fun season and to ha ve it come to an end lik e that was just awful.”

Hallowell said it w as days after the loss in the national championship game before he realized what the Scots had accomplished.

“There was definitely a sense of disappointment w alking off the court,” he said. “After talking with my friends and f amily, I realized how special of a season that was. It was definitely the best year of my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

lege (Jamestown, N.C.), in the third round of the national tournament, opened last season by winning its first 20 games. The Scots were ranked first in the nation before losing to Wabash College (Crawfordsville, Ind.) 69-68 on Feb. 5. Seven days later, they lost to Wittenberg 7672.

Hallowell called the two-game losing streak the turning point of the season.

“A lot of our f ans started thinking instead of getting better throughout the season we were starting to get worse,” he said. “(Coach Steve Moore) told us, ‘Look guys, I think we’re playing good bask etball right pbatterson@thisweeknews.com now. I wouldn’t sweat it. We’re www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
