Council approves 2012 budget of $13.3M By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Canal Winchester City Council unanimously approved a $13.3-million 2012 budget last week that includes a $5.7million general fund. Details were discussed at a finance committee meeting and public hearing about the proposal prior to council’s July 5 meeting.

For fiscal year 2012, the anticipated beginning balance for Jan. 1, 2012 is $10,428,644; total revenues are anticipated to be $12,903,730 for the year and total budgeted expenses are expected to be $13,306,099, resulting in an end-ofyear balance of $10,026,275. “This is a guideline, right?” committee member Rick Deeds asked. “So is there any reason we shouldn’t be aggressive with our revenue and conser-

vative with spending?” City finance director Nanisa Osborn said revenues are aggressive and cannot be modified as easily as expenses can. “I’d say we are being aggressive with our revenue figures,” she said. “My guess is we’re going to lose $180,000 from state government; the estate tax has gone down some and it will go away totally in 2013. “We met with the county auditor and

adjusted (revenue) down again. Income tax is where we thought it would be and so far, seems stable,” Osborn said. She said the opening of Diley Ridge Medical center has “in many ways” offset the loss of a Waste Management Inc. transfer station in Canal Winchester, “but the doctors’incomes haven’t yet because they practice in multiple jurisdictions so it’s been harder to get filings correct.” Committee member Steve Donahue

asked if money were allocated to update the sound system used at Town Hall and if the public tennis court construction at the high school will be completed with 2011 funds or included in the 2012 budget. “We don’t just have a volume issue (with the sound system) but also a recording issue,” Osborn said. “There is money See COUNCIL, page A2

The commission also unanimously approved a variance sought by Charles Smith, 650 Bowen Road, who submitted plans to expand an existing barn from 4,920 square feet to 24,360 square feet so it can be used as an indoor horse-training facility. He said he purchased the property to replace his current facilities. “I won’t be doing anything different than what I’ve been doing across the street in a building I built 25 years ago,” Smith said. “I purchased this property in 2008. My business is training riding horses, cutting horses, not race horses, so I need to be able to do

That’s about $5 million in annual salary. Then another 40 in first quarter (of 2012) with about $2.3 million in annual salary.” Groveport will be the first HFI location vacated, according to Dennis, and then HFI will begin the transition of administrative staff members out of Obetz. Hourly employees there will stay until the beginning of 2013. Canal Winchester Mayor Michael Ebert told city council on July 5 that HFI planned to buy the current TS Trim manufacturing plant at 59 Gender Road, at the corner of Gender Road and Walnut Street. TS Trim will consolidate its operations at the company’s primary Canal Winchester location at 6380 W. Canal St., he said. “HFI currently has two plants and they’re in the process of purchasing the TS Trim plant; (TS Trim) are getting out of headliner business and taking their employees to the Canal Street location,” Ebert said. “(HFI) also does other manufacturing of auto products so when the changeover of lines happens is when they’ll finalize the move over.” HFI, like TS Trim, is an automotive manufac-

Chipotle gets OK for site design, variance By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Central Ohio’s first new freestanding Chipotle in four years has been approved for Waterloo Crossing in Canal Winchester. Two applications from Chipotle were approved during the July 11 planning and zoning commission meeting: a variance for the location of the parking lot and the site design plan. “We appreciate the input and comments we’ve gotten (from the planning and zoning commission), and RED (Architecture and Planning LLC) has done a good job of incorporating those comments,” CASTO properties development specialist Eric Leibowitz said. In June, the planning commission advised Chipotle that the original park-

ing layout, which circled the proposed building, would not be approved based on the city’s zoning code, which requires that parking be located behind the building. Chipotle representatives said the company’s standard is to circulate traffic one-way around the building; however, examples of other area Chipotle restaurants with have parking that doesn’t circulate this way, were discussed and RED agreed to redesign the site plan. Waterloo Crossing was given approval to standardize monument signs — signs that are detached from the building itself — for all new development along West Waterloo Street. “(Chipotle has) proposed a location for the monument sign, but we’ve been burned by this before,” commission member Mike Vasko said.

“As I understand, what you’re showing us here is not the final location (for the monument sign) and we want to know what that location is and that it has a landscaping plan.” The commission unanimously approved both the parking variance and the site design plan with two conditions: that Chipotle provide details for the location of the monument sign

Township trustee bemoans Waterloo bridge project delays By NATE ELLIS

Further, a portion of the local neer’s office) still doesn’t have

ThisWeek Community Newspapers share would be temporarily off- the plans ready.

A Violet Township official recently expressed frustration over a lack of action on a pending bridge project, despite the availability of state funding. Last February, the Ohio Public Works Commission announced that Violet Township had been awarded a $108,000 grant to enhance the Waterloo Road bridge to allow for twoway traffic. As a result, the township and the Fairfield County Engineer’s Office agreed to share the remaining cost of replacing the bridge, which at the time township officials estimated would be approximately $86,000.

set by a $36,000 OPWC loan for the project, which could be paid off at no interest over 30 years. This was all welcome news to the township, which for the better part of eight years has sought to widen the bridge to improve traffic safety and make it easier for emergency response vehicles to pass. However, a growing sense of aggravation has set in, as trustees wait for the county engineer’s office to present design plans for the work. “We finally said we’ll split half of the local share,” Violet Township trustee Terry Dunlap said. “We submitted it and got the public grant, and (the engi-

“That’s the frustrating part.” The bridge is located on the southeast side of Waterloo Road, between Hill and Winchester roads. It crosses a Walnut Creek tributary. According to Violet Township engineer Greg Butcher, recent traffic counts show 2,500 to 3,000 vehicles travel over the bridge each day. That’s up from approximately 1,000 vehicles per day in the late 1990s, he said last February. Increased traffic brought on by the 2004 construction of the interchange at Hill and Diley roads has led to a recurrence of “meetings” of motorists attempting to travel both direc-

lis-Winchester roads, in the southeast quadrant of Canal Winchester. That work is expected to take place next year, he said. “If those two bridges are out at the same time, the only ways around them would be to go out to Pickerington Road, onto Winchester Road and come back,”

he said. “Or you would have to take Gender Road or Washington Street into Lithopolis and come back three miles to get back to Winchester Road. “Law enforcement and fire (officials) would be greatly delayed and it would create a problem for people south of the (Waterloo Road) bridge,” Dunlap said. “It just seems like the engineer’s promises are hollow and empty.” That’s not the case, according to Fairfield County chief deputy engineer Jeff Baird. He said his office currently is designing a wider Waterloo Road bridge and hopes to have plans completed within the next month. See BRIDGE, page A2

Safety grant sought for Route 256 work By NATE ELLIS ThisWeek Community Newspapers In August, the city of Pickerington will apply for an Ohio Department of Transportation grant which, if awarded, could provide up to 90 percent of the funding for an estimated $3-million to $5-million upgrade to state Route 256. ODOT’s 2011 safety grant recipients likely won’t be known before December, but city engineer Greg Bachman is hopeful Pickerington will be among them. “Certainly, everyone in the area knows how notorious 256 is,” he said. “It looks good for the chances from ODOT.” According to information provided by the Pickerington last November, an average of 134 crashes per year occurred on Route 256 between state Route 204 and Refugee Road from 2003 to 2007.

A closer look According to information provided by Pickerington last November, an average of 134 crashes per year occurred on Route 256 between state Route 204 and Refugee Road from 2003 to 2007.

At that time, Bachman said the majority of the crashes were due to congestion on the city’s most heavily traveled thoroughfare. For years, the Route 256 corridor in Pickerington also has been on ODOT’s “Hot Spot” list of the 100 worst corridors in the state for traffic accidents. Pickerington’s total operating budget for 2011 is approximately $7.7 million so financing a road project costing

upwards of $5 million by itself is out of the question for city’s the foreseeable future. However, Pickerington City Council in recent years has approved recommendations by Bachman and city manager Bill Vance to set aside $800,000 to supplement any Route 256 grant the city might receive. “If we can get a grant, we’ll see where we stand financially with the city and all the entities around here,” Bachman said. “… We will be requesting a 90percent grant. If we are fortunate enough to get this kind of grant and, say, the project’s cost is $5 million, then we will have to come up with $500,000, plus any amenities that aren’t deemed granteligible.” Should funding come through, the city’s plans for improving Route 256 include: • Adding a third Route 256 south-

bound lane from Hunter’s Run/Marcus Cinemas to Refugee Road. This would be accomplished by resurfacing and restriping, not by actually widening the road. • Adding a third Route 256 northbound lane at state Route 204/Tussing Road. Currently, there are three receiving lanes on the other side of the traffic signal. • Adding a fourth Route 256 northbound lane at the eastbound I-70 entrance ramp. Currently, there are four receiving lanes on the other side of the traffic signal. • Resurfacing Route 256. • Adding center landscape medians where possible. • Completing sidewalk sections that are missing. • Converting signals to color mastarm supports. • Reconfiguring signal heads to be

centered over each lane. • Adding backplates to all signal heads. • Putting large street name signs on the signal mast arms. • Adding street lights to the intersections. • Installing Americans with Disabilities-compliant sidewalks and pedestrian signal heads. In the meantime, Violet Township officials have agreed to pledge support to the project by submitting a letter to ODOT stating the need for the grant. “I wholeheartedly support a letter to fix 256,” Violet Township trustee Terry Dunlap said. Should the city’s grant proposal be awarded, Bachman said, plan preparations and approvals could take up to two years. Therefore, actual construction likely wouldn’t begin until 2013-14. nellis@thisweeknews.com

Council approves 2012 budget of $13.3 million Continued from page A1 in there to do a full upgrade, if we need to. Dollars are set aside in ‘lands and buildings,’which are unspecified for this type of thing — because you never know what might come up. “We have to use 2011 money to make the (tennis court) contract happen because of timing. I anticipate we’ll bid

this in September with construction in October or November.” The budget line item for personal services under leisure time activities, which pays for employees at the community center and those who do park maintenance, among other things, rose from $125,000 to $329,000 between the current fiscal year and the 2012 estimations.

“We moved people from the street department’s budget to the parks department because they’re actually doing park work,” Osborn said. “In addition, the expenses for the community center are moving out of its own separate budget line to become part of the general fund because that is where it belongs now that we’re a city. “Things that are not self-sustaining

should be in the general fund, however, things like streets are required to have their own separate funds, by law,” she explained. Osborn estimates that revenue will be $390,000 in 2011, but due to property value adjustments, only $365,000 in 2012. The finance committee also approved an amendment to the current 2011 budg-

et that will be sent to city council for a vote. The amendment provides an additional $500 for office supplies for the anticipated hiring of a new economic development director, and an additional $10,000 to cover health care benefits for the clerk of courts. The next finance committee meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m., Aug.1, at Town Hall, 10 N. High St.

Timing was right for HFI consolidation BRIDGE Continued from page A1 turer supplier. Dennis said the two companies have worked closely together for 30 years. He said the headliner plant has been half empty as TS Trim has worked to exit that business. “TS Trim is phasing out of the headliner business,” he said. “It will take about three and a half years for the business that is in that building now to slowly go away. As that happens, HFI will come in and bring our processes and products.

“(HFI) was looking for a building to consolidate in, but with 140 hourly staff in Groveport and Obetz, it would be very difficult to move to another part of (central Ohio) – like Marysville – and expect them to relocate, too.” Dennis said there wouldn’t be a big hiring of new employees; primarily, there will be a transition of employees between the companies. This isn’t a merger, he said: HFI is acquiring TS Trim’s building and products. All the TS Trim employees were given the option to stay through the end of the head-

liner program, working for HFI. They then will have the option to return to TS Trim’s operations in the future, Dennis said. TS Trim will not lay off any employees, according to Ebert. He said TS Trim would train all relocated employees on the Honda door component production and assembly line as the company expands its production of those components. He said the additional jobs “will be quite a significant thing” for Canal Winchester. “We’re looking forward to having HFI in town,” Ebert said. “I think they’ll be a great company to work with.”

“We’re doing the plans ourselves, and I have a limited staff,” Baird said. “I just haven’t had time to deal with it personally. It’s a manpower issue. “I still have the whole county that I’m responsible for,” he said. “(Violet Township) is not the only area I’m responsible for. Those plans are going to be done this year.” Baird said he’s aware of

Franklin County’s nearby bridge plans and his office is coordinating plans to conduct the two projects at different times. “We’re trying to make sure both of those bridges are not closed at the same time,” he said. Baird said he doubts the Waterloo Road bridge project will be completed this year but a contract for the work should be in place in 2011. nellis@thisweeknews.com

Continued from page A1 my business; with this facility, I can, even in inclement weather.” The final application before the commission Monday was for a 1,292-square-foot shelter house to be built on the grounds of the Mid-Ohio Historical Museum, 700 Winchester Pike. A variance was approved earlier this year for a permanent tent to be erected for seasonal events; after further research, museum owner Damon Pfeifer said he discovered it would be more costefficient to build a permanent structure. “We found that building a shelter house will be cheaper than renting a tent ... It will have painted wood and the same dimensional shingles as the current building so it will match,” Pfeifer said. The commission unanimously approved the application on the condition that the prior tent variance be withdrawn. In new business, city planning and zoning administrator Andrew Dutton presented changes

to the Old Town Overlay, Preservation District guidelines and the addition of an Old Town Zoning District. “These changes are the products of our workshops with residents,” Dutton said. “First is the creation of downtown zoning districts: downtown commercial, multifamily residential and single-family residential. The only real difference (between these zoning regulations and the same ones outside of the Old Town) is setbacks.” The changes also propose that the city’s Landmarks Commission will do the architectural review process for all of the downtown area. The final major change will codify design criteria for the downtown historic and preservation districts. “Hopefully, this will make it easier to develop downtown,” Dutton said. He said he hopes to have legislation written by the next planning and zoning commission meeting so it can be approved for recommendation to city council. The next planning and zoning commission meeting is 7 p.m., Aug. 8, at Town Hall, 10 N. High St.

As it were

Summertime amusements changed as the city grew In the summer of 1861, Columbus, was a Midwestern capital city about to be engulfed in the largest conflict the country had ever seen — the American Civil War. The war had begun in April when Confederate batteries opened fire on Fort Sumter, ED S.C. Over the LENTZ spring of 1861, thousands of young men rushed to Columbus to enlist. Soon, many of the new soldiers would be fighting hard in places far from home. In 1861, as the Civil War was getting under way, Columbus was a town of only 18,000 people, many of whom had not been here long. Beginning in the 1830s, a large number of European immigrants began to arrive in central Ohio. Many of them were Irish and even more of them were German. By 1850, more than 40 percent of the population of Columbus was German and about a quarter of the population was Irish. And the rest? They were the people who were here before all of those Irish and Germans came to town. Columbus had been planned to be a relatively large town with its borders marked by “Public Lanes.” North Public Lane is Nationwide Boulevard today and South Public Lane is Livingston Avenue. East Public Lane is Parsons Avenue and the Scioto River was the western boundary of the original town. Upon arriving in Columbus, most of the new Irish and German immigrants decided to settle just outside the city limits, where land was a little cheaper. The Irish settled on the near North Side around the railyards and North Public Lane soon came to be called “Irish Broadway.” The Germans, on the other hand, settled on the South Side in what soon came to be called the “Alte Sud Ende” or the “Old South End.” Most of the houses of German Columbus during the

Civil War were modest in size, on small lots and within a few blocks of the southern city limits. As can be seen when visiting German Village today, most of these houses were built close to the street and had little in the way of porches or front yards. So where did German Columbus go on hot July nights in 1861 to pass the time? Many went to Hessenauers. Hessenauers is gone now, and has been gone for more than a century. But 50 years after it opened in 1860, a reporter for a local paper looked back and reminded Columbus of what the

“half-forgotten pleasure resort” once was like: “It was known throughout the state and beyond the state and represented the acme of one form of creature comfort. “Hessenauer’s Gardens stood at the southwest corner of High and Beck Street. George Hessenauer opened it in 1860 … Then the gardens occupied a full city block, now but a narrow strip of ground remains. “The grounds were laid out on the lines of the famous beer gardens of Berlin, and the amber liquid, cool and foaming, lifted its See AS IT WERE, page A5

Columbus Academy

Group provides tornado relief By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Tornado-ravaged Joplin, Mo., was a classroom of life lessons for Columbus Academy students and teachers who spent a week performing relief work there recently. “It was one of those experiences that slaps everything in your life into perspective,” said Karen Mozenter, an academy teacher from Gahanna. “It makes you see everything with a new lens. I’ll never look at things the same way again. Those people went from life like ours to nothing but the clothes on their back and the few items they could sift out of the rubble.” Academy senior Mark Morford saw pictures of Joplin before and after the May 22 tornado. “The pictures didn’t tell the tale,” he said. “It was kind of hard at some points. There was so much wreckage.” The school’s volunteer service group of two teachers and four students worked through the National Relief Network, performing residential demolition and volunteering at a Salvation Army distribution center. “It was a very powerful experience,” said Tim Morford, an academy history teacher. “The scope of the destruction is indescribable. The work, mostly demolition and removal of debris, as well as some sorting and distribution of donated goods, was exhausting and yet immensely rewarding. The stories we heard and the gratitude shown by the residents of Joplin will remain with us long after the town is rebuilt.” Even though the work from June 19 to 25 felt like “a drop in the bucket,” Mozenter said, it was rewarding as a teacher to see the effect the trip had on students. “It was transformative to see how responsible they were and how they dealt with the people they met,” she said. “We had the opportunity to meet with the homeowners of our work sites.” In a trip blog, Morford describes the experience of Sam, a high school art teacher. “He saw a wall of black clouds approaching, heard the familiar railroad sound and hurried into his basement as things started crashing around him,” Morford wrote. “He crawled under a table and says he thought he was going to die. … He came outside to an unrecognizable but silent

scene. The next thing he saw was one man running down the middle of the street, screaming, ‘like in a horror movie.’ It was his neighbor’s son, looking for his parents.” Senior Stephan Kim blogged on June 23 that his arms were scraped, his legs bruised and his entire body itched of fiberglass. “But my experience here has been priceless, indescribable and will forever be in my heart,” he said. “Today we attacked a new house that looked like it was impossible, but I wish I could show you the improvement we made just in one day: amazing. This trip overall was so humbling and made me realize the small things in life.” Kim said he hopes Columbus Academy students could try to empathize with a tornado victim. Mozenter has performed a variety of service work, but she said nothing compares with the Joplin relief efforts. “You felt that you were part of it, making a difference,” she said. “You really got a sense of what it was like. It wasn’t like we were helping a community different

from ours.” While student Mark Morford worked at the Salvation Army center, he lent his cell phone to a man so he could reconnect with his family. “I told him I was from Ohio,” he said. “The people there were so happy and surprised for the help. They treated us like heroes. They’re in such a terrible situation and focused on you. It was pretty amazing. It’s a life-changing experience.” Morford said he would like to return to help again. “An anonymous donor covered our fees,” he said. “It’s probably hard to get the means and time to do it. Another school or church that works with National Relief (Network) took over where we left off.” Others from the Columbus Academy who participated in the service trip were senior Cami Mampieri of Westerville and recent graduate Alex Shahade of Dublin.

worked out in its shade, and to it came visitors from far and near, for it was one of the show places of the city. “For more than 20 years, it maintained its standing. Then it fell upon evil ways. A dance hall became a feature and the nature of the patronage changed. Then it changed hands. In the early Eighties, it was no longer in favor with the conservative element.” By the turn of the 20th century, Hessenauer’s existed “only in the memory of those heads are silvered o’er are the recollections of brighter days still cherished.” In these accounts, a few things are left unsaid. By the turn of the 20th century, Columbus was 10 times larger than it had been in 1860.

AS IT WERE head and was not ashamed. Row upon row of towering arches, carrying gaslights in frosted globes, stood among the trees, fountains trickled, and a carpet of noiseless tanbark drowned all sounds save for the tinkling of glasses and the hum of conversation. “A great bandstand stood near the center, and from it were heard the leading bands and singers of this country and Europe, particularly German bands. Upon numerous occasions, crowds of 2,500 were entertained. The gardens were then so remote from the center of the city, lighting was so decidedly in its infancy, and the demands of this one place so large, that the gardens maintained their own gas plant. “The best people of the city accorded it their patronage, many philosophical problems were

Franklin Park. The former site of Hessenauers was now part of the central city. People still wanted places to escape the noise, heat, and bustle of summer in the city. The system of city parks continued to grow. And private parks were created, as well. As early as 1879, a man named Joseph Gettner began to develop a dance hall and boat dock along the Olentangy River, north of the newly created Ohio State University. He called it Olentangy Villa and it was popular for a few years. Then the site changed hands and the new manager — to the distress of local residents — “suffered gambling to be conducted there.” Riding to the rescue came the streetcar company. The Columbus Railway Power and Light Co. acquired Olentangy Villa and transformed it into Olen-

tangy Park, the preeminent amusement park in central Ohio. The streetcar company spent a lot of money in the hope that people would ride streetcars more in order to visit the park. Complemented by other suburban attractions like Indianola Park and Minerva Park, Olentangy Park became the preferred place to visit in the summertime for almost two generations. It was only with the coming of the Great Depression of the 1930s that the amusement parks began to close. This did not mean that people stopped looking for places to visit in the summertime. It just meant there would be different attractions for a different time. But I will leave the story of drive-in restaurants and drive-in movies for another day. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Parcher’s influence goes beyond playing field By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Rick Parcher has been an ambassador and teacher of baseball for 50 years. He not only instructs his players on the finer points of the game, but provides “life lessons” by reading poems and stories to help emphasize his points. “There are so many life lessons in baseball,” said the 71-year-old Parcher, who coaches Tree of Life Christian School in the spring and the North Columbus Comets in the summer. “A lot of (the lessons) you learn the hard

way — learning to deal with victory and defeat, success and failure. You learn how to make your own needs secondary to those of the team. “Those things all come automatically Rick Parcher with athletics, but I believe life lessons that are learned are learned more carefully, definitely and effectively if the process is guided by the coach, so I do a lot of talking.” Parcher, who has coached at Tree of

Life since 1995, winning four MOCAL championships, helped form the Comets in 1962 during his senior year at the University of Wisconsin. The team’s first home field was at Whetstone Park. The Under-14 travel team now is a member of the Central Ohio Youth Baseball League. The Comets improved to 16-8 with a 14-4, five-inning win over the Grove City Vipers on July 6 at Ridgeview Middle School, which has been the team’s home since 1975. Parcher was part of a group that helped

build four fields at Ridgeview. The complex now has seven fields. Parcher was recognized for his contributions to the sport during the North Columbus Sports Firecracker Tournament on July 4 at Ridgeview. Parcher received a plaque for his years of service and a field at Ridgeview was named in his honor. The Comets then honored their coach by winning the U-14 division title. “I’ve told the guys they probably won’t realize how fortunate they are until they’re older and maybe some of them play in college,” Comets assistant coach

Rick Sibert said. “They’re learning things now that guys typically don’t learn until they get to play college ball. From a baseball perspective, they’re so fortunate to learn these things and how to play the game the right way.” Parcher has fond memories of teams and players throughout the years. The Comets finished 38-6 in 1968, 31-0 in 1972 and 41-3 in 1981. The team has played on the state, regional and national level, competing in See PARCHER, page B3

Commentary

Athletes describe ideal coach One of the most critical aspects in the development of a young person comes when an older individual provides a model on how to grow and be successful. While parents set the standard for influencing their daughters and sons, coaches can have an enormous impact on how student-athletes LARRY perceive themLARSON selves, how hard they want to work to get better and how they make adjustments when things go right or wrong. This week, the high school student-athletes writing in my summer series detail the qualities they like best in their coaches. Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “I like a coach whose top goals are not only the success of the team but also are geared towards the betterment of the athletes and people around him.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “I love having a coach who wants what is best for me and is willing to push me to be the best. It is also important that a coach is there for you on a bad day.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “To me, the key things for being a successful coach is knowledge of the sport and being patient with the athlete.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I like an intense coach who coaches me to improve every day and who knows the potential of his or her players and refuses to let them fall short.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “I like coaches who have a sense of humor and who are relaxed, but at the same time with that coach, you know you can’t slack off and always have to work hard.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “What is important to me is that a coach has experience in pole vaulting and has had multiple different inputs from other coaches and how to be successful in vaulting.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I like a coach that is laid back and easy going, but is always confident in their team and always wants to compete at the highest level of play.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “What is important to me is that a coach is willing to get you to be the best and puts time into your effort. Also, I like coaches who will help you prepare for the next level of your sport.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I like to see motivation and sometimes frustration from a coach because it shows that they care about their athletes and want to bring out the best in them.” Next week, the student-athletes will write about one of the vital crossroads in their careers: how to handle defeat and disappointment. I’ll see you at a game.

Jeff Backes, who was named Mr. Football the week of the 2000 Division I state final, rushed for 183 yards and had a game-saving interception in a 15-9 win over Solon.

Top Individual Performances: No. 5

Backes powered UA to state title By PATRICK DOLAN

Counting down to No. 1

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In the days leading up to the 2000 Division I state championship game between the Upper Arlington High School football team and Solon, Golden Bears running back and safety Jeff Backes was named Ohio’s Mr. Football. More than 10 years later, Backes admits that he felt some additional pressure to play well because of the award. However, he didn’t let the pressure get the best of him as he rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 15-9 victory on Dec. 2, 2000, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. UA finished 15-0 and became the first central Ohio team to win the big-school state title since the inception of the playoffs in 1972. “No other Mr. Football (honorees) had won the state championship, so in a way there was some added pressure,” said Backes, a 2001 UA graduate who went

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. 6-10. Check back next week for No. 4 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com. NOS. 6-10: 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 touch-

downs 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 freethrow 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 100-yard 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 state-record 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.

on to play for Northwestern University. “But I was confident in my teammates and my own abilities.” Darrell Mayne, who was UA’s coach at the time, would have preferred the Mr. Football announcement to have been made after the championship game.

“As a coach, you don’t want one of your (players) to have that honor bestowed on them before a big game like that,” said Mayne, who coached the Bears from 1998-2004. “That just adds to the adrenaline flow of the opponent. But what Jeff did that game is a testament to his toughness be-

cause he rose to that challenge. “It was a tremendous performance on his part. He had a great supporting cast, but nonetheless it was a great performance. Any time you rush for 180 yards in a Division I state championship game, I think that’s a superior performance.”

Backes, who was 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds in his senior season at UA, opened the scoring in the championship game with a 15yard touchdown run with 8 minutes, 23 seconds left in the first quarter. The two-point conversion gave UA an 8-0 lead. On the touchdown run, Backes took the handoff from quarterback Brian Ramey on a draw play and broke a tackle by Solon safety Steve Watson at the 5-yard line. Solon, which finished 14-1, reached the end zone in the second quarter but failed to convert the two-point conversion and trailed 8-6 at halftime. The Comets got the ball to start the second half but went three-andout, and the ensuing punt gave UA the ball on its own 38. On the Bears’ first offensive play of the second half, Backes took the handoff from Ramey and ran to the right behind left tackle Simon Fraser and left guard Matt Lisi, both of whom pulled on the play. Backes got to the outSee BACKES, page B3

Ohio Elite squad earns tournament title By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The ceremonial drenching — and the victory — must have been quite refreshing for Ohio Elite 14-and-under baseball coach David Lee. Ohio Elite beat the Ohio Force of Cincinnati 7-1 in the Buckeye Elite Showcase Tournament 14-and-under championship game on July 10 at Olentangy High School. As the team celebrated in the outfield on a hot afternoon, players poured a cooler of water over Lee.

Ohio Elite improved to 41-9 this season. Pitcher Brad Wilson, who will attend Northridge, pitched a complete game. He allowed six hits, struck out eight and walked one. “We’re starting to come together as a team,” Wilson said. “We’ve been having trouble the first couple of weeks, but everybody is starting to hit at the same time, everybody is fielding, all of our pitching is coming together. We’re coming together very well.” Cameron Comer’s RBI single scored Kyle Galyk with the game’s first run in

the fifth inning. “We just came out and hit the ball like we knew how to, played like we knew how to and we knew we’d win,” said Comer, who attends Olentangy Liberty. Ohio Elite added three runs in the sixth, highlighted by Tyrell Harris’ two-run single, and three runs in the seventh, with Comer delivering a two-run single. Second baseman Evan Lee, the coach’s son, made a key defensive play when he caught a line drive and doubled off Force leadoff batter Jordan Ramey at third base in the fourth inning to keep the game scoreless.

Ohio Elite advanced to the title game by beating the East Side Irish 18-5 in six innings, the Great Lakes Giants 10-2, the Academy Stars of Buffalo 3-2 and Team New Era of Buffalo 16-5 in five innings. Ohio Elite received a championship Tshirt, plaque and commemorative bat. “We’ve really peaked the last couple of weeks,” coach Lee said. “Brad pitched a complete game. We knew coming in he was one of our top pitchers. ... The best thing with our staff is we’re eight, nine deep and they all throw.” See BASEBALL, page B3

Bexley graduate making impact in Kenya By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When he arrived in February in Likoni, a village of 100,000 people outside of Mombasa, Kenya, Ben Levey only knew how to count to 10 and say “hello” in Swahili. But the 2006 Bexley High School graduate quickly found a way to communicate with the children in the village — by playing soccer. Ben Levey “The passion for soccer over there is incredible. I have never seen anything like it before,” said Levey, who played for the Lions’ 2003 and 2005 Division II state championship teams. “It was an easy way to connect with the kids. “Passing the ball back and forth was so natural. There’s some sort of connection there. You feel like you’re friends all of a sudden.” While serving as a volunteer with Hatua Likoni, a community-based, non-government organization trying to alleviate poverty and promote education among the community’s youth, Levey became chairman of the Likoni Community Football League. The initial plan was to create a 14-team league, but the LCFL quickly grew to 20, 28 and then 30 teams. “Once coaches over there saw that I was serious and they saw the goalposts going up, they wanted to get involved,” Levey said. “I wanted to keep it small because

Ben Levey, a 2006 graduate of Bexley, works with residents near Mombasa, Kenya. Levey is the chairman of the Likoni Community Football League, which grew from its original plan of 14 teams to 30. “It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league,” Levey said.

I wanted to make sure everything ran smoothly, but it grew to 600 kids before I knew it. It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league.” Levey will play host to a fundraiser called “Kick Back 4 Kids” at 6 p.m. Monday, July 18, at the Bexley-area Old Bag of Nails, 18 North Nelson Road. Money from a silent auction as well as a portion of the proceeds from food and drink sales will go toward buying goalposts, nets, balls, jerseys and additional equipment for the LCFL.

Bexley boys soccer coach Greg Kullman said he’s not surprised that Levey’s idea grew so quickly. “Even as a sophomore on the 2003 team, Ben was a natural leader,” said Kullman, who was an assistant coach on that team. “He’s a hard worker and he gets those people around him to work together. “Ben worked with our freshman coach last year and we were hoping to have him back this season, but he’s decided the work he’s doing in Kenya is much need-

ed. I couldn’t argue with him.” Levey got involved with Hatua Likoni as a way of giving back. Hatua means “step forward” in Swahili, according to the organization’s website, www.hatualikoni.org. “At the end of my senior year at the University of Wisconsin, I decided I wanted to do something completely different,” Levey said. “I wanted to go to a foreign country and volunteer to do something before I started grad school.” Levey, who graduated from Wisconsin in spring 2010 with a

a ball. “After growing up in Bexley, I realized I lived in a bubble. My friends who aren’t from here call Bexley ‘Pleasantville,’” Levey said. “Sometimes when I was coaching, I would have to step back and say, ‘Look at where you are. Look at the houses around you. Look at the environment you are in.’ “I was amazed by the amount of poverty over there, but because of the friendliness of the people, they didn’t seem that different from me.” Interest in the LCFL grew quickly in an area that offers little extracurricular activities for youth. However, creating fields and organizing the league took longer than Levey anticipated. “Everything in Kenya runs a lot slower than the USA. After the first week there, I realized I could only pick one thing to do each day,” Levey said. “Something that would take 15 to 30 minutes here takes three to six hours over there for some reason. “The happiest moment (of my time in Kenya) was probably the first day the league started. I was sitting there watching the U-12 teams play. This kid scored and he was mobbed in the corner by his teammates and they were imitating the things they’ve seen from (England’s) Wayne Rooney and all the other soccer stars. It kind of brought of tears to my eyes. That made all the hard work worth it.”

Levey, who returned from Kenya on May 15, said he plans to go back on Aug. 18 and will be there for at least three months, although he might extend that. Levey said was taken aback by the poverty he saw in Kenya, which is located on Africa’s eastern coast.

Track & Field

North relay, Blankenship capture national titles By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Former Westerville North High School track and field standouts Brian and Jeff Hannaford called winning the four-mile relay in the New Balance Outdoor Nationals a form of redemption. The Hannafords, who are fraternal twins, teamed with fellow 2011 North graduate Ryan Weldon and North junior Jacob Dumford to win the race in 17 minutes, 38.17 seconds. The meet was held June 18 at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, N.C. Winners received a medal and a national championship ring. Brian Hannaford was returning to the track after a disappointing finish to his high school career. He was in position to win the 3,200 meters in the Division I state meet on June 4 at Ohio State when he lost his right shoe with about four laps remaining. A competitor stepped on Hannaford’s heel about 600 meters into the race. He anchored the winning relay at nationals. “I wanted to redeem myself and prove to some people that I could do some good things,” he said. Jeff Hannaford, who ran the third leg of the race, missed his

senior track season because of academic reasons. He also missed the cross country state meet last fall because of a disciplinary issue unrelated to the sport. “I wanted to redeem myself at the national meet,” Jeff said. “It was awesome,” Brian said of running with his brother. “We had some high goals for the (spring) season in the (3,200 relay), so finally getting to race again was huge.” The Hannafords will continue their cross country and track careers at Ohio State, which they chose over Dayton. Dumford ran the opening leg at nationals and was followed by Weldon. “It was a good chance to run against some pretty good competition,” Dumford said. Weldon hopes to walk on the track team at Ohio State. He chose the Buckeyes over a scholarship offer from Miami University. “We were really excited,” Weldon said. “We were just shooting to be All-Americans, so winning was a huge shock. The car ride back to Ohio was awesome.” The top six finishers in each event were named All-Americans. North tied for 18th (10 points) behind the first-place Knightdale (N.C.) Track and Field Club (28).

“The (relay) win was a fitting end to the high school careers of three of North’s most talented distance squad,” said track coach Johnny Jackson, who did not attend the meet. “We have had faster individual runners at North, but not as many at one time. They have been working toward this for the past two years, so it was nice to see that with a lot of skill and a little luck everything worked out as planned.” North distance coach Tom Brumlik attended the meet and coached the relay. Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship won the pole vault with an effort of 17 feet, 3/4 of an inch. Blankenship, who will be a senior in the fall, won the event at state by matching the state record of 17-0 set by Olentangy Liberty’s Joey Uhle. Blankenship, who competed unattached at nationals, tied for 18th with 10 points. “I was very excited on winning because I did not expect to win at all,” Blankenship said. “There were so many other vaulters vaulting higher than me. I was glad to take the national title, especially as a junior.” Uhle, who finished second (166) to Blankenship at state, also finished second (16-8 3/4) at na-

That’s the main reason I come.” Schiller, who lives in Carmel, Ind., and Witsken, who lives in Zionsville, Ind., also captured the men’s 35 title with a forfeit victory over Toledo’s James Kaser and Lima’s Jerome Moenter in the final.

Allare, who lives in Columbus, and Williams, of Manlius, N.Y., earned $400 each for reaching the open final while Moenter and Kaser each received $100 for finishing second in the 35 division. Allare and Williams struggled against the return game of Witsken and Schiller. “At Ohio State, we practice volleying quite a bit, but they knew how to volley as well,” said Allare, who won two state doubles and two state singles titles for Kings Mills Kings High School from 2004-07. “They both have very good serves and return of serves. They knew what they were doing.” “They got the ball low at your toes consistently and put the

pressure on,” Williams said. “The only thing you can do is serve better and not miss so many first serves. I missed too many first serves and that ended up being a big factor.” Because of low turnout, Wickertree canceled the women’s open in addition to the men’s 45 and men’s 55 divisions. That worked to the benefit of Witsken and Schiller. “We were glad that there weren’t that many teams because we are not young bucks anymore,” Witsken said. “It was 90 degrees and an on-court temperature of 120 degrees. That plays with your mind a little bit as well as your on-court abilities.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The team won three sportsmanship awards in four years at the Knoxville event. “A lot of that has been a lot of fun, but you can’t do that every year,” Parcher said of competing on the national level. “You have to have both the talent and the interest.” Parcher has coached several players who have enjoyed successful careers in baseball, including Mike Durant, who played in the program in the early 1980s. Durant, a catcher, played at Watterson and Ohio State before playing with the Minnesota Twins in 1996. Parcher recalled that Jeff Smith, who retired as baseball coach at Centennial in 2006, won the Comets’ first sportsmanship award in 1962.

Parcher continues to recognize the team’s top sportsman each year. “I’ve coached hundreds of kids,” Parcher said. “The team is a team of talented kids and almost all of them go on to significant careers in high school and college, a few in the pros. As a result of that there have been a lot of memories and a lot of those guys are still around and I get to see them from time to time. That’s great. I really enjoy that.” It appears Parcher has no intentions of stepping away from the game. “I’m still enjoying myself. There are some various things that will determine whether I decide to come back. One is whether I feel like the group coming up still wants me to be involved. The other would be my health. I’m in reasonably good health. I have a lot of pain in my joints, so I’m doing a lot of sitting down now,” he said.

side and outraced Solon linebacker Marc Leighton and Comets cornerbacks J.T. Staiger and Justin Bitner down the right side to the end zone for a 62-yard touchdown. The extra point by John Tarpy gave UA a 15-6 lead with 10:53 left in the third quarter. “It was a beautiful lead block by Simon Fraser, and Jeff popped it and went down the sideline,” Mayne said. “They weren’t going to catch him.” “Two linemen were pulling on the play,” Backes said. “We had an athletic line, which allowed us to do a lot of counter plays. (The linemen) made their blocks, and it turned into a footrace (to the end zone).” Solon cut the deficit to 15-9 on a 36-yard field goal by Tim Echan with 4:18 left in the third quarter but wouldn’t cross into Bears territory again until its final possession, which started from its own 30 with 1:40 remaining in the game. The Comets needed just five plays to reach the UA 22. Then, after an incomplete pass on first down, Solon quarterback Jay Price tried to hit running back Scott Greenberg, who had lined up as a receiver, down the middle of the field in the end zone. However, Backes stepped in front of Greenberg and intercepted the pass at the goal line, returning the ball to the UA 11 with 46 seconds left. “They were in a four-receiver set and were trying to stretch the field and get one of the seams,” Mayne said. “The quarterback put a little bit of a loft on the ball and right away I thought, ‘Man, I think Jeff will pick this off.’ Of course, he did, and he had the presence of mind to not try to be a hero pdolan@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com and try to return it (for a touchdown).”

We didn’t get that done.” Ohio Elite rebounded to beat the JBR Rays of Green Bay (Wis.) 8-0. Hilliard Davidson’s Mike Scaglione allowed two hits, struck out five and walked one in a complete-game effort. Ohio Elite and the Columbus Cobras 17-and-under team were tied at 10 on July 9 at Granville when the game was suspended because of darkness. Ohio Elite opted not to return to Granville on July 10 to complete the game in the silver championship bracket. Huesman not only was able to give his team valuable experience during the tournament, he also was able to showcase his complex at Jerome, where he is coach. “We have teams from all over the state, contiguous states and Canada coming over, and it’s always nice for them to see our facilities and what we have to offer,” Huesman said. Other champions were the Stark County Terriers in the 18and-under division, the North Georgia Barons in the 16-andunder division and the North Coast Vipers in the 15-and-under division.

The Cobras advanced to the semifinal round with a comefrom-behind 5-4 win over Steve’s Sports of Mayfield. Trailing 4-2 with two outs in the seventh inning, the Cobras’ Kendall Johnson hit a routine fly ball to left fielder Drew Teller, who dropped it, allowing the tying runs to score. Gahanna graduate Josh Bokor, who recently completed his freshman season at Ohio State, singled to score Johnson with the winning run. Teller’s two-run double helped Steve’s Sports take a 3-0 lead in the fourth. Grove City graduate T.J. DeVore’s pinch-hit triple in the sixth scored Johnson and closed the Cobras to 3-2. Russ Hogue earned the win in relief. He then pitched a complete game against the Lookouts. “We were flat all day, even the first game, and then we put it together at the end,” Cobras coach Harry Huskey said. “We got our emotional high and then we sit around for 45 minutes and we came out and didn’t play real well again. The other team took advantage of our three errors and we only had four hits, so we didn’t deserve to win that game.” The Cobras are 35-6 heading into the Pastime Best of the Midwest Tournament at Wright State and the University of Dayton on fdirenna@thisweeknews.com Thursday, July 14. •The Ohio Elite 17-and-under www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

“Someone turned to me in the huddle and said, ‘Make a play, Jeff,’” Backes said, “and a couple plays later, I made a read on the ball and the rest is history.” UA’s offense came onto the field and, after two kneel-downs by Ramey, the game was over and the celebration began. “After Jeff scored (in the third quarter), from that point on, both sides couldn’t move the ball,” said Ramey, also a 2001 UA graduate. “Then, all of a sudden, (the Comets) go to the no-huddle offense and start moving the ball. You start to get nervous, but then out of nowhere (Backes) makes the interception. It was pandemonium on the sidelines.” During the postgame celebration, a UA fan held a sign that read, “Backes is God.” “He’s been telling us all year that the offensive line is his savior,” Lisi said after the game. “Tonight ... he was our savior.” Backes finished the 2000 season with a thenstate record 3,353 yards rushing and 44 touchdowns. According to the OHSAA, he now ranks third in state history in rushing yards in a season, behind Bedford Chanel’s Tony Franklin (3,439) and Williamsburg’s Jason Bainum (3,386), both of whom surpassed his total in 2001. “He just continued to produce over and over again,” Ramey said of Backes. “It’s pretty amazing what he did (in the championship game).” Backes now is 28 years old and a third-year medical resident in orthopedic surgery at Mount Carmel West. He and his wife, Marissa, have two daughters — Leighton, 23 months, and Brooklyn, 7 months.

Weenies serves a variety of ‘super tasty’ hot dogs Weenies has tons of potential. It has the gourmet hot dog market on campus cornered and it serves super tasty madein-Ohio meats grilled to order. Plus, it has a name that’s irresistible to dirty-minded college kids. Indeed, the Weenies owners reported more than a dozen of their signs were stolen — likely by dorm dwellers looking for free decorations — before the restaurant even opened its doors. So if the eatery can work out a few assembly-line kinks and simplify the menu a bit, I’m predicting a success. Weenies is right to be proud of its Ohio meats. They’re a noticeable step up, tastewise, from standard brand-name wieners. And they’re boiled, then grilled, lending a smoky, charbroiled flavor. You pick your choice of dog: all-beef Classic ($3), pork and beef Hottie ($3.65), all-beef Classic Brat ($3.65), all-beef Cheese Brat ($3.85), Chicken Dog ($3.25), Veggie Dog ($3.25) or the Big Weenie one-pounder ($10).

Weenie’s Address: 1644 N. High St., campus Phone: (614) 754-1427 Web: myweenies.com by SHELLEY MANN Hours: 10:30 a.m.-12 a.m. Monday-Wednesday, 10:30 a.m.-3 a.m. Thursday-Saturday, The Hottie is well worth the upgrade. It’s 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Sunday

not only heftier but also has a more complex, spicy flavor profile than a classic dog. You then choose from more than 40 toppings, which is where things get complicated. Forty options sounds like a good thing, but it’s actually kind of paralyzing when you’re standing there, trying to decide which toppings would work best together. It’d be great to see a few Weenies signature dogs on the menu for folks who like having their decisions made for them. There are some nice, unexpected topping options, like a spicy, colorful red-pepper relish, avocados and pineapple salsa. But it starts to get ridiculous — five different mustards, four salsas and dried cranberries? Another concern that will surely

be remedied soon: On our first visit, the menu didn’t indicate that some toppings are free while others cost 35 cents or 75 cents extra. On the side, sweet potato fries ($3) are crunchy and good, but ask for some spicy mayo for dipping rather than the provided ketchup. The Grilled Peanut Butter & Jelly ($2.75), basically a hybrid PB & J and grilled cheese — sans cheese — would taste fantastic at about 2:30 a.m. … and luckily, Weenies is open till 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Popular Lindey’s bartender opens own place in the Brewery District Tony Murray was a bartender at a popular restaurant, had scores of adoring customers and a bevy of friendly coworkers, whom he called family. But with the dream of one day opening his own place, the longtime bartender at Lindey’s left his comfortable surroundings for something less certain but with amazing potential — a restaurant of his own. On Monday, he opened T. Murray’s Bar and Kitchen, an ode to the bygone days of the Rat Pack, classic

cocktails and personalized service. He said he can’t emphasize his attachment to Lindey’s enough. He started bartending at the German Village institution in 1989 and said leaving was difficult. “You’ve been in this comfort zone for so long,” he said. “I was just waiting for the right opportunity and it came along.” Yet, he has lofty ambitions for T. Murray’s. The restaurant takes over the former Barrister Hall location at 560 S. High

St. in the Brewery District, which has a reemerging entertainment and restaurant scene. Murray and partners Steve Bagley and Maryanne Testa have spent the past year completely refurbishing the interior of the two-story building, which flaunts a custom-built bar on each floor, wooden floors complemented by darker wood accents and exposed brick for a traditional American look. Murray also is behind the bar, happy to pour traditional drinks such as the OldFashioned, Rusty Nail, Rob Roy and Sidecar. He also plans to dust off the cocktail recipes that date back to the speakeasies of Prohibition-era Chicago. Murray said he wanted a strong emphasis on food and service, a casual ambience with upscale menu. For starters, patrons get a choice of three breads — sourdough, multi-grain and crusty white — all baked locally at Eleni-Christina Bakery. Testa developed the dishes, which she calls upscale comfort food, and chef Christine Remley is responsible for their execution. The menu has a solid American-tavern foundation with many modern touchBy Eric George/ThisWeek es, Testa said. The filet mignon, for exTony Murray and two investors have opened T.

The lunch menu has a strong salad, soup and sandwich lineup, www.ThisWeekNews.com/foodandwine with most prices in the $7 to $9 range. The half-pound burgers, Recipe of the week made with freshly ground beef, are crowned with pancetta and cheddar. Most desserts, save for Graeter’s ice cream, are made on premises. They include a lemon tart, chocolate crème brulee and cheesecake. The partnership scouted locations for months before settling on the Brewery District site, which had been vacant for several years.
