The Gahanna-Jefferson school district will open the three-story Clark Hall for the 2011-12 school year. The building will house some high school students, along with Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools classes and Columbus State Community College. The all-education facility will offer students an opportunity to earn high school and college credits, though the building initially was designed to alleviate overcrowding at Gahanna Lincoln High School.
Building’s name honors Gahanna founder John Clark By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Gahanna school district is honoring the past and embracing the future with the naming of Clark Hall. A class assignment at Lincoln High School led to the new building’s name that honors John Clark, who founded Gahanna in 1849. Lincoln principal Dwight Carter said naming the new building after Clark recognizes his vision, drive and determination to create a new beginning for many people. “As part of the excitement of the new fa-
cility, discussion took place around what name to use,” he said. “In order to promote and maintain a unified campus on two different sites, it was important to have names that have similar meaning, names that evoke tradition, history, characteristics of greatness and possibilities — all ideals that we want our students to experience as part of the Gahanna Lincoln High School community.” Clark owned land east of Big Walnut Creek and along Granville Street. He joined Jesse Baughman, who owned land on the opposite See NAME, page A3 One of the classrooms in the new Clark Hall.
Jefferson Twp. taking Columbus Academy’s Daubenmier 2-mill levy to voters named 2011-12 ‘teacher of the future’ By SCOTT HUMMEL

Jefferson Township trustees will ask local voters to approve a 2-mill levy when they go to the polls in November. Trustees held a special meeting Aug. 8 and voted unanimously to seek an additional levy to fund such needs as road repairs, cemetery maintenance, zoning and services. The township has fire levies in place, but they pay only for fire and EMS services, according to township administrator Tom Spring. If approved, the five-year levy would generate about $975,106 per year, Spring said. The levy would cost about $61.25 annually for every $100,000 of assessed property value, with collections beginning in January 2012. Spring said officials were aware that the township’s revenues were dropping.
enue,” he said, comparing 2006 figures to 2013 estimates. “We started to realize we were having to dip into our carryover to cover expenses.” Spring said the township’s population has more than doubled since the 2000 census. The population then was 4,900, he said. It’s at 10,234 in the 2010 census. He also said the township has seen an increase in the number of road miles, from 13 miles in 1996 to 46 miles currently. Surrounding townships — Mifflin, Plain and Truro — have 24 miles combined, he said. “That puts a stress on our ability to repair our roads,” he said. Spring said the changing economic conditions and new state funding laws also would affect the township’s coffers. The elimination of reimbursements in See LEVY, page A2

Gahanna’s Mark Daubenmier, a math and computer-science teacher at Columbus Academy, has been selected by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) as a 2011-12 teacher of the future. “It is a real honor to receive this award by the National Association of Independent Schools,” Daubenmier told ThisWeek. “While I was recognized at this time, all of my colleagues at Columbus Academy who continue to innovate in the field of education also deserve to be honored for the work that they do. It is a real privilege to be a part of such an outstanding team of educators.” The NAIS teachers of the future were selected from a large pool of nominees who inspire academic excellence in students and who serve as opinion leaders among their colleagues and peers. The teachers of the future also

were chosen for their expertise in particular areas — environmentalism, globalism, technology, and equity and justice — which the NAIS views as hallmarks of a high-quality education for the 21st century. As one of only 20 teachers nationwide chosen for the program, Daubenmier will lead an online discussion forum designed to share innovative ideas and teaching techniques, and he will cre-
ate a demonstration video to inspire others. The award recipients will begin their online discussion forums in September and in October will submit their videos about teaching. Daubenmier has a few ideas for his video, he said. “It will probably either be about the work that I have been doing in making the classroom content available to students 24/7 by mov-
ing all materials and lectures online or about the work that I am doing this year in creating an experimental classroom, where I am investigating if the physical design of the classroom can enhance learning,” he said. The Teachers of the Future program was established in 2007. Over the past few years, a group of 68 innovative teachers shared expertise in teaching through technology, as well as creative ways of teaching. The Klingenstein Foundation offered NAIS a generous grant for the Teachers of the Future program, and through this grant, each teacher will receive a $1,000 stipend for participating in the program. The NAIS, based in Washington, D.C., is a voluntary membership organization for more than 1,400 independent schools and associations in the United States and abroad. Independent schools are distinct from other private schools in that they are independently See TEACHER, page A2

Herb center to offer ‘sweet’ samples By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A taste of sweet herbs will be offered Aug. 13 at the Ohio Herb Education Center. Wendy Winkler, volunteer coordinator, said the herb center, at 110 Mill St., is offering “Herbs for Your Sweet Tooth” as the last session in the second Saturday summer children’s series, from 2 to 4 p.m. Aug. 13. “We’ll have sweets and stories about the herbs involved,” she said. “I’ll have fresh herbs readied for a full sensory experience (see, taste, smell, touch and feel), which are used in a variety of sweet treats.” When people think of desserts, cookies or iced confections, Winkler said, herbs usually are far from mind. Most think of herbs as an ingredient in pasta sauce or other savory dish. “The culinary use of
herbs is approachable, interesting and can be a lot of fun to experiment with,” she said. “The idea here is to introduce children and their parents to the wide world of culinary herbs in a very familyfriendly way.” The tentative list of treats to be offered includes an on-site-prepared herb-infused syrup using ginger, which then will be used to flavor club soda for a very simple and refreshing ginger soda. The chocolate-mint variety of mint, mentha x piperita, will be used to make a fresh mint tea, and lavender will flavor homemade lemonade for an end-of-summer drink. Guests also will be invited to sample a blend of dry herbs, with herbs de Provence, orange butter cookies, rosemary almond biscotti and plum, raspberry and tarragon chilled soup. A featured lemon-basil tea bread uses sweet
basil. For the more adventurous, Lemon thyme flavors a light, horseradish-flavored ice cream palate-cleansing sorbet, and basil will be available to sample. brings its exotic, spicy taste to a No pre-registration is necesfresh ice cream, Winkler said. sary for the free event.

tangible personal-property taxes and losses in utility taxes and the Local Government Fund will weigh heavily on the township’s funds, he said. The township in November 2010 asked voters to approve a 1mill roads and parks levy, which failed 2,753 votes to 2,068 votes, or 57.1 percent against the levy to 42.9 percent for it. Trustees had committed to using 50 percent of the revenue the levy would have generated for road improvements and 50 percent for parks, with the caveat that some expenses would be shifted from the service department to parks, trustee Mike Rowan has said.

NAME Continued from page A1 side of Granville Street, called Bridgeport, and they officially changed the name to Gahanna. Carter in 2008 presented an assignment to the honors global studies classes, advanced composition classes, DECA, student council and the facility steering committee, with the task of naming the new facility. The process involved research on the part of the students, brainstorming, collaboration and compromise. The students discussed their options and presented them to Carter, who shared the names with the facility steering committee. After the committee provided input, Carter shared the names with staff and used a multi-vote method that allowed participants to vote for more than one option. The school board in November 2009 approved naming the new building Clark Hall. “We wanted a different mindset with where we’re going,” Carter told ThisWeek. “It has been A, B and C (buildings) so long. We still respect their tradition.” The inside of those buildings will be referred to as Hamilton Hall for “A” building, after Charles Hamilton, an AfricanAmerican landowner who owned and ran a farm on both sides of what is now Hamilton Road.

A closer look The inside of those buildings will be referred to as Hamilton Hall for “A” building, after Charles Hamilton, an African-American landowner who owned and ran a farm on both sides of what is now Hamilton Road. The road was named circa 1894, according to the Gahanna Historical Society.
1894, according to the Gahanna Historical Society. Lincoln Hall is the “B” building and carries the name of the original high school building on campus. It’s also the oldest and most historic of all of the district’s buildings and has the name engraved above the entry doors. The “C” building will be called Jefferson Hall, after Thomas Jefferson and Jefferson Township, which feeds into GLHS. “The naming of the facilities as halls gives a collegiate-feel to the high school campus that reflects the preparation of Gahanna-Jefferson students to embrace 21st-century skills and a global world,” Carter said. The opening of the Clark Hall building is the first new facility since C-building opened in 2000-01. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
tent (among campuses),” Carter said. “We also have nooks for students to gather. There are also a number of small conference rooms.” Green elements also were designed into the new space, with lights that automatically shut off when rooms are unoccupied, White said. The lights also adjust to the sunlight in a room, he said. “There’s heavy use of natural lighting in the building for a better feel,” White said. Modern science labs are included at Gahanna’s new building, and hallways were designed to showcase student artwork. In addition to the classroom spaces built primarily for Gahanna juniors and seniors and about 38 teachers, Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools and Columbus State Community College have leased space on the first floor. White said Gahanna seniors could complete high school coursework and receive college credit for taking classes through CSCC. “It’s a great opportunity,” he said. District treasurer Julio Valadares said Eastland-Fairfield would rent space for 15 years, with an upfront payment of $1.25 million. CSCC will pay $500,890 for three years, with renewal in 2014 for another three years at $584,171. The $2.3 million in revenue from rent will help offset Clark Hall building costs of $18 million, he said. Future revenue streams will offset costs further via ground leases and real estate taxes from the development of the remaining property by private entities, Valadares said. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com
THIS BUG KILLS! Protect Your Ash Trees Call Mike Donley Today for a FREE Ash Tree Assessment The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic boring insect believed to have come from China. This bug was first discovered in 2002 in Southeast Michigan. With no natural enemies to contain its population, it spreads rapidly, attacks and kills ALL ash trees regardless of size or condition; 100% mortality rate! This bug only attacks ash trees. The EAB infestation of ash trees became apparent last year in Central Ohio. Extensive wood pecker damage, dead limbs in upper canopies and a flush of green sprouts in the lower canopies are the most obvious signs of likely EAB infestation. Generally speaking, from the first signs of infestation, trees die within 2-3 years if untreated. Should you decide to preserve your ash trees, field trials from Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue Universities have shown annually applied insecticides will protect ash trees effectively from the emerald ash borer. There are two primary recommendations to get most effective insecticide protection - Treating trees in the spring time (April-May) and treatments prior to infestation.

For a good portion of my life, I shared the perspective of those who rail against God for allowing pain. I could find no way to rationalize a world as toxic as this one. As I visited people whose pain far exceeded my own, though, I was surprised by its effects. Suffering seemed as likely to reinforce faith as to sow doubt. My anger about pain has melted mostly for one reason: I have come to know God. He has given me joy and love and happiness and goodness. It leaves me with faith in a Person, a faith so solid that no amount of suffering can erode it.
News from your neighborhood … from whatever neighborhood you’re in. SEE IT BEFORE IT’S
Where is God when it hurts? He has been there from the beginning. He designed a pain system that, in the midst of a fallen world, bears His stamp. He transforms pain, using it to teach and strengthen us if we allow it to turn us toward Him.

August 10, 2009 it was discovered that Sam had bone cancer. After a courageous battle against the cancer that included an amputation of one leg, surgery on the other leg, removal of cancer from both of his lungs, as well as chemotherapy, Sam’s body could endure no more. After returning from his Make a Wish trip to Disney World in July 2010, it was discovered that the cancer was growing rapidly in too many places to treat. He went home from Nationwide Children’s Hospital to be with his mother and father to live the last of his days on Earth. While Sam’s body could no longer fight, his mind could. Sam did not want to die. His family and friends did not want him to die…But God had a different plan. During his time in hospice care, surrounded by those who loved him best, Sam mostly came to accept that he would not continue life among us. His hope laid in the knowledge that Jesus and his beloved grandfather Greg, his great grandmothers Martha and Kathryn were waiting for him in Heaven.
He has hurt and bled and cried and suffered. He has dignified for all time those who suffer, by sharing their pain. But one day He will gather the armies of heaven and will unleash them against the enemies of God. The world will see one last terrifying moment of suffering before the full victory is ushered in. Then God will create for us a new, incredible world. And pain will be no more (Rev. 19:11–22:6). He left His Father’s throne above, So free, so infinite His grace! Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam’s helpless race. —Wesley Pain will either turn us against God or draw us to Him. _____________________________________________ O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? __1 Corinthians 15:55
Sam took comfort in the knowledge that God does not count time as we do, and that he would see his family again “in a blink of an eye.”

Sam and his family believed that God could and would heal him from the cancer. The problem for many was that God did not heal Sam the way they wanted Him to. However, even though Sam’s story did not end as his friends and family wanted, it did end as God desired. While his mom, dad, sisters, all his family and friends miss Sam, many believe that Sam is with Jesus – hanging out, having fun on 2 good legs, and waiting for us to join him. This may seem like foolishness, but God’s plans and our human plans are so very different. God is trustworthy all the time…despite the situation.

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 ED dubbed it an LENTZ “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 become wellknown American artists, even though none of them had much formal training until they were adults.

The statue of Dr. Samuel Smith at the corner of Broad and High streets by William Walcutt.
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. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Local restaurants helping feed Holiday Lights! budget By MARLA K. KUHLMAN
rade last year and everyone
ThisWeek Community Newspapers wants it to return.
Gahanna residents could help brighten the return of the Holiday Lights! parade by eating at local restaurants this month. Karen Eylon, director of the Gahanna Convention & Visitors Bureau (GCVB), said six restaurants are donating a percentage of sales to help offset parade expenses. The annual parade was canceled last year because the GCVB didn’t have the needed funds to pay for city services that previously had been provided for the parade. “Our creative blue-ribbon committee (volunteer group who coordinates the effort) has come up with a fun way for residents to help support our treasured holiday parade tradition in Gahanna,” Eylon said. “We have partnered with restaurant owners in Gahanna and have coordinated opportunities for supporters to dine at establishments during specified times, and a portion of the proceeds generated will be donated to the committee to help offset parade expenses.” Beverly Metcalf, blue-ribbon committee chairperson, said the community missed the pa-
Old Bag of Nails, 63 Mill St., will take its turn Aug. 23-24, when it will donate 15 percent to the cause. Finishing the month’s campaign will be Max & Erma’s, 1317 N. Hamilton Road, on Aug. 25, donating 20 percent of the bill. Eylon said the GCVB has pared parade expenses dramatically, but some expenses still need to be covered to present a parade that’s in keeping with the committee’s standards and the expectations of the parade attendees. Depending on needs, the cost of city services for the parade could range from $7,000 to $12,000, she said. The GCVB and city staff members continue to work together to identify creative solutions and cost-saving measures for the event. The Holiday Lights! parade has been a family-friendly community celebration since 1998, when it first began attracting residents and visitors to Olde Gahanna. The 2011 Holiday Lights! Parade is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25.
“Area restaurants seem to be very cooperative,” she said. “I think it’s something that can grow. We’re doing everything we can.” The restaurant fundraising campaign is being touted as “Take a Bite for Holiday Lights!” “Help us keep the tradition alive as you enjoy a delicious meal,” Eylon said. “Bring the indicated flier to the restaurant, and a portion of your bill will be donated to support the Holiday Lights! parade.” For detailed information and restaurant-specific fliers, visit visitgahanna.com. The Take a Bite fundraiser began Aug. 10 at City Barbeque, 108 S. Stygler Road, where it continues today, Aug. 11. City Barbeque will donate 25 percent of patrons’ bills to the parade. J Gumbo’s, 64 Granville St., will participate in the campaign Aug. 13-16. Rotelli’s, 1334 Cherry Bottom Road, will pick up the torch Aug. 13-16, donating 15 percent of customers’ bills. Cici’s Pizza, 1335 Stoneridge Drive, will take part in the campaign Aug. 17-18, donating 10 mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com percent.

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 previous
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

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.

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

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).

Canal Winchester to leave MSL for OCC in ’13 By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Canal Winchester High School is expected to be approved as a new member of the Ohio Capital Conference when the Executive Committee of Principals meets on Sept. 19. Canal Winchester would replace Watkins Memorial in the 32-team league beginning with the 2013-14 school year. Watkins Memorial is joining the new Licking County League, which will begin operations that same school year. “This is an exciting time for us and a big change after being a member of the See LARSON, page B3 Mid-State League since 1966,” Canal Win-
chester athletics director Kent Riggs said. “We were comfortable and had great relationships in the MSL. “One of the biggest factors in our switch is that we are one of only two (schools) in the MSL that compete in Division I in most sports. If we’re going to compete in Division I in the postseason tournaments, it would be to our benefit to play Division I schools during the regular seasons.” The OCC Alignment and Expansion Committee made its recommendation after researching and visiting roughly a dozen schools that filed applications. According to OCC Commissioner Dave Cecutti, in addition to Canal Winches-
ter, among those to apply were MSL members Bexley, Grandview, Teays Valley and Whitehall, as well as Chillicothe, Marion Harding, Jonathan Alder and Logan. “I applaud the Alignment and Expansion Committee for their work the past six to eight months, and it was a tough process,” Cecutti said. “They jumped hurdles and conducted studies to determine which school would fit best. “When we received all those applications, it also became apparent that we should take a look at a possible fifth division within our league. We’ll continue to look at that and it might be some-
thing we need to look at again somewhere down the road.” Canal Winchester will become the first new member of the OCC since Hilliard Bradley opened in 2008-09. Canal Winchester offers 25 sports, one of several criteria that the OCC noted. “There was no one factor any more important than another, but rather the totality of items that led the committee to recommend Canal Winchester,” Cecutti said. “We believe that academic integrity, competitive balance and cultural compatibility all played a factor. We looked at enrollment, population See OCC, page B2

•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 The Ohio Dragons 18-and-under fastpitch travel softball team won the USSSA Eastern Regional White, who is a former Grove City assistant.

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.

kid, but I find it hard to believe there’s too many kids tougher than him that are on the field when we’re playing. “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.
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. “Bo has been a huge part of our offense this year,” White said during the 2006 season. “He isn’t necessarily the fastest kid on the field.

New research showing that men taking the erectile-dysfunction (ED) drug sildenafil (Viagra) and similar drugs are at increased risk for hearing loss bolsters previous anecdotal accounts and laboratory work that arrives at a similar conclusion. While the new study does rely on self-reported hearing loss among men taking sildenafil, it is certainly worth noting that the new study reveals that taking ED drugs may double a man’s risk of developing hearing loss. The study also went on to show that, while other studies focused on sudden hearing loss, the hearing loss noted among the Viagra users may be more incremental in nature. Thus, some users of ED drugs may not notice any hearing loss associated with the medications right away. If you’re taking a medication for erectile dysfunction and have sudden loss of hearing or vision, seek medical help right away.

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 like a jackwagon 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 busy 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 spicy) 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 spicy but 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 suburban Monroeville, saying it was not a place for young kids. He said he was also tired of
fighting with parents who couldn’t conage starting healthy trol their young ones. eating habits,” he said. But many central Ohio restaurant own“A lot of parents, they ers don’t seem likely to embrace that edict don’t want kids eating any time soon. ketchup and fries. David Mor, owner of Olive Tree Those young working couples, where can Mediterranean Café in Hilliard, said chil- they go?” dren come with the territory. Carla Piolata said very few families “That’s my biggest joy — kids at this 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 unfair 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 out to nice restaurant every once in awhile without my child, I find it not in the best interest of the child to put them in an environment where you expect them to sit and be quiet for long periods of time,” he
said. “You wouldn’t take your child to the art gallery or a symphony concert. Why would you take them to a high-end 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 do.” David Kincheloe, a restaurant consultant in Golden, Colo., said bans on some types of behavior — certain attire, cell phones and smoking, to name a few —already exist in some restaurants. He said restaurants have to make a calculated decision whether the policy will be acceptable by the largest percentage of customers. “I think it potentially is a short-term type of thing,” he said. “Because what will happen then is someone will say, ‘Bring your kids. They’re all welcome.’”
