Founder: Cyber Block Watch expanding 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 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 neigh-

borhoods 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 month-

ly police luncheons at the German Village Meeting Haus, said he welcomes the online crime-fighting 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 German Village neighborhood because of the website. See CYBER BLOCK WATCH page A2

PLANT PRIDE ON PARSONS

By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Adam Cairns/ThisWeek

Over the past year, Bruce Fussnecker (left) and Bill Doughton have installed plaques to honor those who have contributed nearly 100 flower planters along Parsons Avenue. The two are part of the Plant Pride on Parsons neighborhood beautification program, which recently won a Keep America Beautiful Award. Other communities along Parsons, from Livingston Avenue to Marion Road, also are involved.

This artist’s rendering shows the renovated German Heritage Haus, also known as the Dutch House, which will become the new home of the Columbus Maennerchor. The planned renovations include a 2,500square-foot addition, which would bring the entire facility to 6,000 square feet.

Well-traveled tenor to sing at farewell concert By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers Internationally renowned tenor Otoniel Gonzaga will pay tribute to the Columbus Maennerchor with a performance Aug. 14. The final salute will be held at 4 p.m. at the afcility, 966 S. High St. The concert also will feature performances by the Columbus Maennerchor and Damenchor, with music director Ronald Markle and accompanist Karen Chitu, and the Kinderchor and Jugendchor, directed by Catherine O’Keefe. Tickets are $10 and will be a vailable at the door. Admission will be free for children 12 and younger.

German Village is the latest neighborhood to join the Community Computer Alliance. The German Village Society board of trustees voted Aug. 8 to partner with the nonprof it organization, which safely disposes of computers and other electronics. The relationship will not cost the GVS an y money and the affiliation can be terminated at any time. The plan is to allow residents to take their old FAX machines, cellphones and laptops to the Meeting Haus, 588 S. Third St. The alliance will then retrieve the material within 24 business hours. The organization wipes computers of all existing files. Those who want confirmation can pay the alliance $5 for a certificate. Board member Brian Santin said the discussion grew from a recent Earth Day celebration at Schiller Park, where the alliance was accepting electronic devices. “I really think this is a great service we can offer to the community,” Santin said at the meeting via a conference call from Cincinnati,where he is completing a two-year surgical fellowship. Some of the logistics have not been worked out, such as hours and days of acceptance of the devices, which would be securely stored at the Meeting Haus. Officials also were concerned about putting the burden on volunteers at the Meeting Haus. In other news from the meeting,the board announced it was sending out ballots Aug. 10 for the upcoming GVS election. Seven people are seeking five open seats. They include incum-

The concert will serve as a fundraiser for the Maennerchor, which will move into the adjacent German Heritage Haus, commonly referred to as the Dutch House. If Columbus City Schools’current plans proceed, the Maennerchor Otoniel building at 966 S. High St. Gonzaga will be razed to make way for expansion of the Stewart Alternative Elementary School. Gonzaga, 69, lives on the Northwest Side of Columbus and in Austria, where he teaches privately. He said the show would feature varied pieces

of music sung in many languages, including German, English, Swedish and Italian. “I think it will be very interesting,” he said. He has appeared as a guest artist at more than 35 opera houses in Germany, as well as in European cities Brussels, Barcelona, Glasgow, Salzburg and Zurich. In the United States,he has performed in Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Memphis, Miami and New York. “That’s my thing,” Gonzaga said. “When you tour around the world, you realize that music is all around the world in every culture.” A native of the Philippines, Gonzaga was a music-lover from a young age.

Aug. 13 movie night will feature ‘Cabaret’ A second movie night in Frank Fetch P ark is planned Saturday, Aug. 13. “Cabaret,” starring Joel Grey, Michael York and Liza Minnelli, will be shown at 9 p.m. at the park on East Beck Street,between Fifth and Sixth streets. The event is free. “Bring a chair or blanket and your theater treats and enjoy a great film with neighbors and friends in a beautiful park,” said Jerry Glick, who is organizing the event. Organizers first planned a movie night in Frank Fetch Park last year. The movie nights were made possible by a donation of equipment to the German Village Society. The first movie screened in 2010 was “The Sound of Music.” Earlier this summer, “Some Like it Hot” was shown. In the event of rain, the movie will be screened at the German Village Meeting Haus, 588 S. Third St. — Gary Seman Jr.

CYBER BLOCK WATCH

Continued from page A1 Continued from page A1 “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 information 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 volunteer-run 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.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

FAREWELL CONCERT Continued from page A1 His mother was a singer and father was a surgeon, so they traveled extensively. The family later settled in Philadelphia and Gonzaga trained at the Curtis Institute of Music. He said he has a natural love of live performances. “You see the people right on stage in front of you,” Gonzaga said. “And that’s the best thing

of all. And you see their immediate reaction. If you don’t do a good job, you know immediately.” Kathleen Megown, a singer who is helping promote the concert, said the Maennerchor is fortunate to have someone with Gonzaga’s ability. “He’s full of class and has a great voice,” she said. “It’s very appropriate to finish in the big ballroom with someone who has such a big voice.”

bents Darci Congrove, Jeanne Likins and Sarah Irvin Clark and newcomers Rory Daley, Chris Hune, Kathy Wightman and Nick Cavalaris. Crystal Seamon and Jim Nichols are not seeking reelection. The ballots were mailed to roughly 1,000 members of the GVS. The winners likely will be

known by the board’s September meeting. They will take their seats on the 12-member board in October. Also from the meeting, board members are trying to drum up support for the “Tea 4 2: Tea for Two Hundred” party to be hosted by Congrove. As of the Aug. 8 meeting, Congrove said, she had sold 40 tickets, at a cost of $50 each. The hope is to sell 200, there-

by raising $10,000 for local historic preservation activities. Congrove said men and women are invited and hats are encouraged but not mandatory. Food will be provided, as well as adult beverages in addition to the tea. The event is slated from 4 to 7 p.m. Aug. 27 at the German Village Guest House, 748 Jaeger St. Tickets are available at germanvillage.com.

MAENNERCHOR Continued from page A1 “We’ll hold onto our fair share,” Niehaus said. The closing of the Maennerchor is the result of Columbus City Schools’plan to expand Stewart Alternative Elementary School onto the property. The school district paid $1.3 million for the Maennerchor parcel. District officials intend to hold public meetings this fall to gather input from community leaders, residents and parents on the project. The Maennerchor, founded in 1848, has been struggling financially for more than a decade, Niehaus said. While membership has declined, the bills kept mounting, including $40,000 in annual property taxes and $100,000 in utilities for the building, which is about 20,000 square feet. “The time is now,” he said. “We have to be realistic. We can’t be a big social club any more.” Whether a restaurant will be

part of the new facility currently is unclear. One option would be to sublease the kitchen to a professional restaurateur, Niehaus said. Steve Maurer, president of the American Center for German Cul-

ture and a Maennerchor singer, said the fact that the Maennerchor wants to stay in the German Village area is a plus. “This new undertaking has a lot of promise in giving the Maennerchor new life,” he said.

The Columbus Jazz Orchestra wraps up its sixth season of JazZoo concerts at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Friday, Aug. 12, with “Elvis, The Beatles & Beyond.” These pillars of rock n’ roll were greatly influenced by jazz and the blues, plus the CJO should have some killer arrangements lined up for this show. Joining in on the fun are guitarist Dan Faehnle of Pink Martini and Diana Krall fame and singer Jonathan Elliott of the Columbus band, The Floorwalkers. Tickets are $27-$15 and include Zoo admission. Call (614) 724-3485 or call the Jazz Arts Group about table reservations at (614) 294-5200. Festival Latino, now in its 16th year, returns to the downtown Columbus riverfront Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 13-14. The Beat is, of course, most concerned with the music,which is going to be fun. Headliners include 24 Horas (Saturday) and Tito Rojas with the Sammy DeLeon Orchestra (Sunday). A host of local and regional acts rounds out the bill. Art, food and culture — plenty of dance — are also featured. Special attention should be paid to “Salsa King of Ohio”Carlos Rubio and his Salsamante Dance Academy, who

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. Didn’t eat much lunch today? Then dig into free chips and salsa; they’ll practically arrive at your table simultaneously with you. Boss acting lik e a jackw agon again? Make that a grande margarita. Need a burrito-load of feelgood food? Cue the zesty meat, melting cheese and gooey beans. Yep, this crowd-pleasing formula works — thus all the b usy and successful El Restaurante clones. Too bad there aren’ t more places like Chile Verde instead. Semi-recently (and significantly) enlarged and packing in loyal reg-

MENU by G. A. BENTON ulars for around two decades, the much-beloved Chile Verde fulfills all those above obligations while separating itself from the peso-a-dozen competition. 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. Yeah, everything’s a little better — and/or a bit different — at

ity) in the cheaply priced ($5.50) House version. For something tarter and smarter, try the Skinny Margarita ($9). Chile Verde’s cheery and charming dining rooms also clue you in to its sunny and noncookie-cutter “Land of Enchantment” personality. Above a handsome terra cotta tile floor, metallic desert By Will Shilling/ThisWeek critters scale the walls; turquoise Beef enchiladas at Chile Verde in Dublin. tassels dangle from lamps; and Chile Verde. This includes the margaritas. For instance, you can currently, a great little local art taste actual fresh limejuice (a rar- exhibit of brashly painted Mexi-

can wrestler portraits by Rob Jones is entertainingly hung. These amusingly include some loco mask-clad Buckeye icons. 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. Also quite spic y b ut much lighter was an inspired cucumber Gazpacho ($5). A recurring special, it’s cumin-kissed, pulpy, aggressively tart and thoroughly refreshing. Another frequent feature is the very fine fish taco. Generous hunks of mahi mahi were not battered and deep-fried but rubbed with a jerk-like spice mix and skillet-seared for a much lighter preparation. Enchiladas take on extra interest when wrapped in organic blue

tortillas (two Blue Corn Enchiladas with two sides are $12). 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.” David Kincheloe, a restaurant con- cream, courtesy of Bill Glover of Sage sultant in Golden, Colo., said bans on American Bistro. some types of behavior — certain attire, cell phones and smoking, to name centage of customers. a few —already exist in some restau“I think it potentially is a short-term rants.
