Olentangy panel looks at district’s future By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

How to avoid building a fourth high school is foremost among the topics an Olentangy school district advisory committee will examine as it studies longterm options. Martin Johnson, chairman of the district’s Project 2020 committee, is a dis-

trict resident and parent. Johnson said the panel will look at the possibility of meeting educational needs without constructing the building. Johnson stressed the process is in the early stage and would be studied in depth. The panel will hold public meetings to allow community input and will focus on continuing the “academic suc-

cess of students.” The 2020 committee includes Superintendent Wade Lucas, school board member Dave King, four other district employees and five citizens. The district’s development committee has said a fourth high school will be needed by 2015-16 to serve the current and projected student population. The district anticipates 5,289 high school

students that year. Its existing three high schools hold 1,600 students each. To study alternatives to a new building, Johnson said the committee will look at things such as online learning, leasing or sharing facilities, restructuring the school day or year, and sharing employees with area educational organizations such as Columbus State Community College and Delaware Area

Career Center. The committee has identified 16 groups of people referred to as support groups. The groups will provide expertise to help the district study the issue. For instance, Johnson said the district’s development committee will look See OLENTANGY, page A2

Local Roots spruces up patio By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Jessi Iams enjoys seeing her customers have a good time. The owner of Local Roots restaurant in Powell added a beer garden and live music to its patio on the corner at 15 E. Olentangy St. “We put the fence up, put tables and chairs, and built a bar around the gazebo,” Iams said. The live music is “jazz and blues on Wednesday and Thursday and popular ’80s and ’90s music on Friday and Saturday.” The fence and other improvements cost about $15,000. The Powell Planning and Zoning Commission approved the project and construction

“I think the reception is good. Patrons are really enjoying it, as well as people walking down the street. They’ll stop and dance or sing along,” Iams said. “It gives me a smile every time I see them dancing and singing. It’s about making Powell come to life, and I think it’s working.”

Vince Margello, owner of the commercial property that houses the restaurant, is pleased to see the activity Iams has brought to the area. “Jessi’s got some great ideas,” Margello said. “She’s brought the entertainment downtown that everyone can enjoy. It’s almost like a festival environment. I think Jessi’s a mastermind.” Iams also put in a patio at the rear of the restaurant, Margello said, which includes a fireplace and is another “environment extending from the restaurant that people enjoy.” The continued success of Local Roots, which opened in 2009, has

Liberty Township trustees on Aug. 8 authorized the road department to cut down dead and infested ash trees in the Liberty Lakes subdivision. Township administrator Dave Anderson said the township would incrementally remove the street trees damaged by the emerald ash borer. The township won’t remove stumps or replace trees. April Oney, co-chair of the Liberty Lakes homeowners association, said the association will mark the trees it wants removed. Township road superintendent Randy Leib requested the markings, noting that in previous years, residents were upset after trees were pruned. One, on July 11, asked the township to help remove and replace about 140 trees in the right of way. The township technically owns the property, but regulations require homeowners to maintain it. Trustees at the time said the township tree policy doesn’t include cutting down and replacing street trees, but for safety reasons, the township should cut them down. Oney had said removing the trees was a hardship to the homeowners because of the economy. At the Aug. 8 meeting, Oney asked trustees if the township required residents to replace downed street trees, because some Liberty Lakes residents said they wouldn’t replace the trees unless told they have to. “That’s horrible,” Oney said. “It’s going to make the subdivision, Liberty Township, look awful.” Oney said the residents disagree on what the subdivision’s deed restrictions mean. They say property owners have to “maintain” the street tree area, but don’t address replacement. The township doesn’t have the power to force residents to plant trees, Anderson said. Leib said the road crew could cut down the trees with relative ease because they’re small, but it

Municipal building solar panel installation delayed By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The installation of solar panels on the roof of Powell’s municipal building, 47 Hall St., has been delayed, officials said Aug. 2. A structural engineer working on the project determined that the building’s rooftop cannot handle the weight of the panels without reinforcement, Eric Fischer, city planner and project manager, told city council. Fischer said the city will seek permission from the Ohio Department of Development to “ground-mount the panels” instead. The project is funded by an $821,861 federal energy-efficiency grant through the ODOD. Such mounting can serve a dual purpose, he said, noting that Powell will either use the mounting structure as two carports for the police department or as one carport and one park shelter. Those

structures would be on the Village Green, 47 Hall St. The city believes ground mounting to be less costly than reinforcing the building’s roof. The roof can take about two pounds per square foot above its current load, which is about what’s needed for snow accumulation. It would need to be reinforced to handle four to six pounds per square foot, which the panels require.

The building’s structure is more than 40 years old, though the outer shell was renovated in 2006, city spokesperson Jeff Robinson said. Fischer told city council such findings are common when attempting to install solar panels. The cost of ground-mounted structures would be within the financial confines of the grant, Robinson said. Council approved a $687,900 contract for the project on June 7. Fischer said, if approved by the ODOD, the remaining funds would be used for the ground mounting. The project is expected to save the city about $20,000 a year in energy costs, city planner Eric Fischer has said. In slightly more than 34 years, those savings would equal the $687,900 contract. The grant also will fund the inSee PANELS, page A6

The technology support group will look at ways online learning can be used, what equipment would facilitate it and how a blend of online and at-school learning could be implemented. Another support group includes school guidance counselors, who will look at different ways to schedule the school day.

In the next six months, these groups will bring their findings back to the steering committee. The committee also will hold community meetings to involve district residents. Assistant Superintendent Linda Martin said the district would like to hear ideas from all residents, especially those with students in elementary school, “because in 2020, they will be in the high school environment.” Johnson said the goal is a fiscally sustainable economic plan that can be supported by the community and will reduce the need

for new operating levies. “If you build a new building, you have to then pass a levy to pay for operating it,” Johnson said. Basing discussions on projections is difficult because of the uncertainty involved, he said. Project 2020 started in November 2010 with the steering committee members developing lists of the types of information they would need to help make the decision, Martin said. Johnson made a presentation about the project to the board of education on Jan. 12.

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP Continued from page A1 would take a lot of time because of the number of them. Trustees also approved changes to its tree policy. Anderson said the changes include removing the ash as an acceptable tree to plant, changing the tree committee from nine people to five people and changing the wording about planting trees near utilities. Trustees also: • Authorized the fire department to make an educational video to inform residents of the department’s functions. The video will cost $7,995

to make and will be paid for with donations, Fire Chief Tim Jensen said. It will be posted on the township website. Jensen said it will be an important public relations tool for the fire levy that the township is planning for 2012. • Approved $5,000 to screen part-time firefighter applicants. The department is short one full-time firefighter, and Jensen is changing how the department works with the part-time staff. Full-time firefighters typically are hired from the part-timers. The part-time staff will work every sixth day. The township will use a test system provided by the Delaware Area Career Center, which will save the township about $2,000, he said.

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.

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.

Commentary & opinion

Saturday, August 20, 2011 9:00 am – 4:00 pm History today

Historical society marks 25 years The first public meeting of of the Powell Liberty Historical Society was held 25 years ago, on Aug. 7, 1986. Because the area was rapidly developing with suburban homesites, the society was formed to preserve a bit of early rural Ohio life. The first order of business was to save an 1889 farmhouse that was unique in that it was the only home in Powell in nearly original condition. Only two families owned it during that nearly 100year period. Janet Masteller, a local business owner and vice-president of the Greater Powell Businessman's Association at that time, became involved in saving the house from being razed for development. The issue came to her attention when the association conducted a survey about the possibility of forming a historic commission and historic district. The farmhouse was slated to be bulldozed in two weeks. Masteller and Louise Cornish, a life-long resident of Powell who learned of the situation at a council meeting, received support from like-minded local residents. Eleanor Hawk, another resident with a long family history in this area, became the society's first president. She began contacting residents in Powell and Liberty Township seeking financial support for the restoration of the house, estimated to be about $150,000.

I recall that supporters of this effort met with members of the Liberty Powell Civic Association to introduce their CAROLE plan, and they WILHELM also went door to door in town and in the few developments that existed at that time to request donations. Multicon Builders, Inc. and George W. Banning Associates Inc., owners of Bartholomew Run Associates, promised to donate the land and house to the society if they raised $45,000. They generously extended the time of their offer while funds were being raised. There were some anonymous donations, and the developers also committed $15,000 after the society reached $30,000. It took nearly four years to continue to raise additional money and to accomplish the necessary restoration. Members and volunteers did much of the labor. With furniture donations by several local antique shops and old-fashioned holiday decorations to welcome guests, tours began in December of 1990. The Martin-Perry House, named for the two families who lived in it, was finally a home for the Powell Liberty Historical Society. It is believed that Albert Martin and Mary Lowry were married

in the home on June 6, 1889. Among the memorabilia at the society today is their wedding invitation. Albert was a telegraph operator for the Hocking Valley Railroad. The house had no running water and no electricity. A hand pump was in the kitchen. There was an addition to the home in 1912 — a large bedroom and two smaller rooms upstairs. In 1928, Erwin and Mary Perry bought the house. Daughter Ivah told us that the family of six moved in on her father's birthday. After a week of using coal oil lamps, he “had the house wired costing him a handsome $100.” Erwin was an engineer who helped build the O'Shaughnessy Dam. Mary lived in the home until 1978. Though running water had been added in 1928, a bathroom was never installed, and she happily made use of the outhouse. It remains on the property, though a barn and ice house are long gone. Today, the society continues with its mission to collect and preserve materials illustrating the history of our area. Education remains an important function as well, with scout troops visiting to learn more about their hometown and obtaining history badges. There is outreach to schools, both in the classroom and during Olentangy's Pioneer Day each spring.

Walk in the park

Parks slate Green-Wise Fair Often, as I walk along the trails in the various Preservation Parks preserves, I am able to lose myself in the moment and just take in the meadows and ravines, the birds and the squirrels, and everything else that makes up nature in Delaware County. But other times, I can’t help but wonder how this county that I love will look in 50 or 100 years, when my grandchildren and their children take my place on the trails. I’m not talking about over-development, because Preservation Parks and other area agencies and organizations are looking out for the natural areas and keeping some great wildlife habitat intact. I think the natural areas will still be beautiful and accessible. No, I’m worried more about the environment in general — the air, the water, the livability of the planet. My husband will tell me I worry too much — that there is not much I can do. But two hot summers in a row make me wonder if global warming (or the more current “climate change”) is really happening, or is it just cyclical? And I wonder what fracking to extract natural gas — if it starts happening in Ohio — will do to our groundwater. Yes, we need energy but we also need clean water. And what about the growing landfills and the foreign countries exporting their trash here to the United States, where we still have empty space? And how about the Texas-sized flotilla of plastic bottles, netting and other trash circling around in the Pacific? How can that possibly be good for ocean life? And consider the transportation costs (fuel consumption) and health costs (preservatives) associated with buying strawberries, tomatoes, and lots of other things out of season. The list of practices to which we’ve become accustomed is long. Some of the practices — driving everywhere we go because

subdivisions just aren’t connected to services — are tough to change. But others are not as difficult, and SUE we invite you to learn about HAGAN some of the easier ways to live a greener life. Preservation Parks’third annual Green-Wise Fair will be held Sunday, Aug. 28, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Deer Haven Preserve, 4183 Liberty Road, just south of Delaware. Here are just a few of the things you will discover: • Programmable thermostats can help you reduce energy usage by adjusting the temperature when you are not home — and even when you are. After all, do we really need our homes to register 68 degrees when it’s 95 outdoors? • “Keep Delaware County Beautiful” will provide information on the abundance of recycling opportunities, for everything from fluorescent light bulbs to virtual-

ly all paper and cardboard. Freecycle programs are growing, wherein your used goods become someone else’s brand new furniture. The Habitat for Humanity ReStore truck will be at the Green-Wise Fair to collect building materials for new homes. • Scioto Gardens, the Delaware County Community Market and farmers market vendors will be on hand to sell locally grown produce and other foods. Preservation Parks staff will talk about county bike trails, and visitors can join a guided bike ride from downtown Delaware to the Green-Wise Fair. • A wetland exploration program, and live animals from the Ohio Wildlife Center and Ohio Nature Education’s Environmental Education Center, will remind you exactly why we want to protect the environment in the first place. These are just a sprinkling of the exhibits and vendors — from Wireless Zone to Elfner Organic Lawn Care — that offer goods and services that are kind to the envi-

Just thinking

Attention realtors!

Lost dog: Last seen indoors Have I mentioned the time my dog, Pip, got lost? I don’t mean the time a year or two ago, when he wandered away through a soybean field, no doubt following his nose — which protuberance, I’m sorry to say, takes precedence over us, the people who feed him, give him toys and tell him to be a good dog. Pip’s nose tells him much more interesting things. It speaks to him of rabbits and raccoons, stray cats, other dogs and the pack of coyotes that we often hear howling in the night. What dog, weighing wild, exotic smells like those against, “Be a good dog,” would decide to obey the latter directive? “Be a good dog.” I suspect that dogs find that order bewildering in the extreme. For one thing, it’s too general; it leaves the door wide open for all kinds of behaviors dogs define as “good,” from rolling in something putrid to yap-yapyapping at a threat to civilization, such as a robin. That dogs consider these behaviors good is abundantly clear. Why else does a horrifyingly malodorous dog come prancing into the house, absolutely sure of his welcome? Why else does a dog standing quietly at the window suddenly start a racket that causes family members to fling their dinner forks over their shoulders and clutch at their hearts? Telling a dog to be a good dog is a waste of breath, in other words, because a dog’s definition of “good” will never agree with a human’s. If it did, we either would have dogs completing our income taxes (“Bailey, be a good dog and finish this short form.”) or humans chewing the squeakers out of rubber toys and then going to sleep under their own dining room tables. But I digress. I set out to talk, not about the time Pip wandered into the soybean field and I reported him missing to the animal control officer — “How long has he been gone?” the officer asked. “Almost an hour,” I said, causing the man’s writing hand to halt for several seconds, probably from sympathy — but about the time a few weeks ago when the dog disappeared inside the house. Yes, inside the house, although my husband almost immediately became convinced that Pip had somehow been left outside and was

Page A5

now at the mercy of coyotes and other nighttime marauders. I pictured large owls swooping in, accompanied by MARGO pterodactyls and BARTLETT a couple of feral cats. Still, my genuine alarm was reserved for my own search indoors. I was certain that Pip was in the house; yet, he was completely and unaccountably gone. I looked everywhere I could think to look: Not under just our bed, where he often spends entire nights and some days, but under all the beds, inside the closets, behind the washer and dryer. I opened drawers. I peered inside the kitchen cupboards. Frankly, I was beginning to get an eerie feeling about this. The dog was surely in the house and yet, he wasn’t to be found. If this were a television movie or maybe a rerun of “The Twilight Zone,” the dog would turn out to be in another dimension. Or I’d turn out to be the pet of my own dog, who would appear in giant form to loom over me and hold out human treats to get my attention. “Sit!” he’d say, and I’d sit. “Down!” he’d say, and I’d lie down with my head on my front paws to watch him, waiting for the signal that it was OK to get up again. That would probably be the end of the show but what about now, what about real life? Where was Pip? My husband came inside, shaking his head. Pip wasn’t out there, he said, not voicing his fear that he had been out there and was now gone. I was on my way back upstairs to double-check the closets and under the beds when I heard my husband call. He’s here, my husband said. My husband was in our office, the room that had been the parlor when our house was built at the beginning of the last century. It holds my desk and his, a large secretary that belonged to my late grandmother, and my piano. My husband was standing by the piano. “Behind here,” he said. I looked. There was Pip, crouched in the small space be-

tween the piano and the wall. He didn’t seem particularly uncomfortable, although he wasn’t willing to look either of us in the eye. Too embarrassed, I figured. “It looks like he went in forward and then didn’t know how to come out backward,” I said. “But why didn’t he speak up?” All this time, of course, we’d been calling, calling, calling, and Pip had been sitting behind the piano listening to us without uttering so much as a yip. Had we been robins standing in the yard, he would have barked his head off, I thought a little bitterly, as my husband shifted the piano and Pip came out. I wasn’t really angry, though. It was so good to see his furry face again. Write to Margo Bartlett at mbartlett@thisweeknews.com.

EyeShop now open in Lewis Center Continued from page A3 Deciding on Lewis Center to open her business was an easy choice because she and her family live there and the area’s demographics suited her business plan. Sayers has one full-time employee and anticipates hiring more as her business grows. “We price ourselves affordably,” she said. “We’re competitive with the larger stores.”

The tough economy actually provided an incentive for Sayers to begin her business: reduced cost for commercial space. “The rental rates are lower now,” Sayers said. “We looked a few years ago, starting this idea, and absolutely this was the time to rent. This space had been open for about four years and I know they were willing to negotiate and that helped a lot. “And it was just the time for me,” she said. “I feel, you build

it, and they will come.” EyeShop holds “Dessert Fridays,” serving things like cupcakes, brownies, cookies and coffee or water. “We started it because my daughter’s school has cookie Friday. I thought it was a neat idea. It was fun. Parents were picking up the kids, but because we’re all hovering over these cookies, people are hanging out and talking,” Sayers said. “We wanted EyeShop to be that kind of place

LOCAL ROOTS PATIO Continued from page A1 encouraged other businesses to come to the area, Margello said. People enjoying the beer garden will find next year’s offering that much better, Iams said “There will be a lot of changes that we’re getting plans for. I want to add a fireplace, more seating, and I’d like the bar to be a bit more permanent,” Iams said. “I’d like to put some intimate seating, lights in the trees. I’d like to dress it up.” “It’s what downtown Powell needed,” Margello said. “Here’s a typical example of a private

business owner without the help of government in any way causing the economy to be better in downtown Powell. Plus, we have plenty of parking for our customers.” Beer garden hours are 6 p.m. to midnight Wednesday and Thursday and 7 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. Restaurant hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays.

‘NiteFlite’ golf set for Aug. 19

Heather and Steve Nathaniel

Petrie, Nathaniel exchange vows Heather Petrie and Steve Nathaniel were united in marriage in a March 5 wedding at the Engineers Club of Dayton. The bride is the daughter of Timothy and Jill Petrie of Celina, Ohio. The groom is the son of David and Sharon Nathaniel of Lewis Center. Katie Petrie, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Colleen Petrie, sister of the bride; and Molly Nathaniel, sister of the groom. John Roach served as best man. Groomsmen were Billy Otten; and Peter Nathaniel, brother of the groom. The bride is a 2007 Celina High School graduate and a 2012 University of Dayton graduate. She is employed by Marathon Oil. The groom graduated from Olentangy High School in 2005 and the University of Dayton in 2010. He is employed by Goodrich Aircraft. The couple is at home in Dayton.

The inaugural “NiteFlite” charity golf scramble and party will be held on Friday, Aug. 19 at NorthStar Golf Club. The party starts at 6:30 p.m. and golf teams will have a shotgun start at 8:30 p.m. Proceeds will benefit Kids ‘n Kamp, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the social, emotional and educational needs of kids and young adults with cancer, and The Mentoring Center of Central Ohio, a coalition of more than 40 youthmentoring organizations committed to increasing the quality and quantity of mentoring. Party-only tickets are $35. Tickets for golfers are $65, which includes glow-in-the-dark golf balls. Fairways will be glow-stick encircled and pins and greens will be lighted. Players will have a chance to win a 2011 Chevy Camaro donated by McDaniel Automotive. Chuck Woodson, vice president of Emerald Bank in Westerville, began planning the event earlier this year. “Night golf is a great time; even if you aren’t a golfer, you can have fun with this event,” he said in a news release. The party features live music by the band O.C.D. and food pro-

WILHELM Continued from page A4 Tours of the Martin-Perry House can be arranged by calling (614) 889-1182 or (614) 889-1894. Not only are there furnishings belonging particularly to the Martins, the house is furnished with many period pieces. A genealogy file exists, and there is considerable information on the early schools among other local history. Programs are held on the second Monday of the month, generally excluding the summer. The house is located on Powell Road at Grace Drive. Volunteers are welcome to help preserve the society's accomplishments. Carole Wilhelm is a member of the Powell Liberty Historical Society.

HAGAN Continued from page A4 ronment. Some say that environmental concerns are overblown — that the earth will take care of itself. Others say it’s too late — that the world is on a trajectory that can’t be stopped and nothing we do will make a difference. But I’m more hopeful than that. I feel hopeful when I see Sustainable Delaware (Preservation Parks’ partner in the Green-Wise Fair) tackle everything from air quality to fuel consumption. And I feel hopeful when I see high school kids start a “Green Team”

and fourth-graders begin a nature club. Because it’s the little things that matter. It’s those little things — reusing, recycling, reducing, and renewing — that, collectively, can add up to one big thing: a better, healthier planet for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The Columbus Jazz Or-

1 chestra wraps up its sixth sea-

son of JazZoo concerts at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Friday, Aug. 12, with “Elvis, The Beatles & Beyond.” These pillars of rock n’ roll were greatly influenced by jazz and the blues, plus the CJO should have some killer arrangements lined up for this show. Joining in on the fun are guitarist Dan Faehnle of Pink Martini and Diana Krall fame and singer Jonathan Elliott of the Columbus band, The Floorwalkers. Tickets are $27-$15 and include Zoo admission.

3 Tommy & the High Pilots evoke the spirit of the history of American rock n’ roll songwriting, drawing inspiration from any number of that canon’s royalty — Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Buckley, Jackson Browne, Buddy Holly, Lindsey Buckingham, all lend a flavor to the young SoCal quartet’s musical recipe of alternately rollicking and melancholy rock n’ roll. Tommy and The High Pilots, with openers Stamps and Heypenny, will play The Basement Sunday,Aug. 14. Tickets are $7/$9. Call 1-800-7453000.

Festival Latino, now in its 16th year, returns to the downtown Columbus riverfront Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 13-14. The Beat is, of course, most concerned with the music, which is going to be fun. Headliners include 24 Horas (Saturday) and Tito Rojas with the Sammy DeLeon Orchestra (Sunday). A host of local and regional acts rounds out the bill. Originally, the band’s name Art, food and culture — plenty of 4 was Alice Cooper, but eventudance — are also featured. Special attention should be paid to “Salsa ally, the puppet master of ’70s metal King of Ohio” Carlos Rubio and his theater of the macabre took the name for himself.

fully embodied and fully transparent. Cooper still brings it heavy, and has a brand-new, not-yet-released album due out Sept. 13 — Welcome 2 My Nightmare — to prove it. He will play Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Wednesday, Aug. 17. Tickets are $27/$30. Call 1-800-745-3000. BONUS: More than 300 young singers will participate in the 17th annual Harmony Camp sponsored by the Singing Buckeyes Barbershop Chorus Aug. 10-13. The camp culminates with a public performance by the men’s and women’s choruses from among the attendees, both separate and combined, as well as by the host Singing Buckeyes. Other performers include Columbus Sweet Adelines Chorus, 2008 international champion quartet OC Times, 2010 Sweet Adelines international champion quartet Maxx Factor and a special appearance by the reigning international collegiate quartet champion Prestige, a group formed while its members were student singers attending the camp and continues now at Bowling Green State University.

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

Chile Verde’s cheery and charming dining rooms also clue you in to its sunny and noncookie-cutter “Land of Enchantment” personality.

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-

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 control their young ones. But many central Ohio restaurant owners don’t seem likely to embrace that edict any time soon. David Mor, owner of Olive Tree Mediterranean Café in Hilliard, said chil-

dren come with the territory. “That’s my biggest joy — kids at this age starting healthy eating habits,” he said. “A lot of parents, they don’t want kids eating ketchup and fries. Those young working couples, where can they go?” Carla Piolata said very few families bring young children to her restaurant, Cibo, an upscale Italian restaurant in Upper Arlington. “But the ones we get, they are treated very well,” she said. Still, both restaurateurs acknowledge that unruly behavior will not be tolerated. “We expect the parents to control their

kids,” Mor said. “My concern is it’s not only 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 www.ThisWeekNews.com/foodandwine First Draft out to nice restaurant every once in awhile without my child, I find it not columnist Michael in the best interest of the child to put Paull recommends them in an environment where you Mad Hatter’s farmexpect them to sit and be quiet for house IPA, a truly long periods of time,” he said. “You unique drink for a summer wouldn’t take your child to the art long gallery or a symphony concert. Why evening. Michael Paull would you take them to a high-end Recipe of the week restaurant setting?” Sue Bellan, another local diner who doesn’t have children, said she understands the struggle with the issue. “I can certainly appreciate some of the higher-end restaurants having a policy of that nature so that they can offer a certain atmosphere in their restaurants, as that is what the majority of their clientele are paying for,” Bellan said. “However, on the flip side, if you are going to a mid-scale or family restaurant, you should expect that there will be families there with young children and not be upset with them acting up a bit, as children Chocolate torte with fresh whipped do.” David Kincheloe, a restaurant con- cream, courtesy of Bill Glover of Sage sultant in Golden, Colo., said bans on American Bistro. some types of behavior — certain attire, cell phones and smoking, to name centage of customers. a few —already exist in some restau“I think it potentially is a short-term rants.

Experience the Excellence and Passion! Since 2000, over 6,000 students have taken dance classes at NorthPointe Dance Academy. As a parent, we realize you have a choice between several different studios. All studios are not the same... We are the dance studio that cares about our community. NorthPointe enjoys performing for local charities and supporting our local PTO’s. We volunteer and teach each year at Olentangy Schools’ Enrichment Days, supplementing our children’s education with dance. As we celebrate our twelth anniversary, we invite you to compare all of our features and options to see why our studio has been chosen as one of the Top 50 studios in the country by Dance Spirit Magazine and the Federation of Dance Competitions (FDC)! NorthPointe dancers just participated in the ﬁrst annual Dance Awards held at the Beacon Theatre in New York (home of the 2011 Tony Awards). NorthPointe students were also selected to dance at the World Dance Championship in Texas (an invitation only competition).

Qualified, Caring Instructors NorthPointe Dance Academy teachers have a strong commitment to teaching excellence. Offering many years of dance experience, each staff member demonstrates passion and dedication to dance in their area of expertise. They are chosen not only for their qualiﬁcations, but for their ability to love, nurture, and inspire their students.

Convenience and Choice Students and parents can choose from a wide range of dance programs. Many are offered at the same time making scheduling easier. We are conveniently located making us easy to get to from many commumities.

Class Size Our smaller class size ensures that each child will receive personalized attention, learn more, and have more fun. With younger students it is easier to maintain control of the class and make sure each student understands the concepts and instructions. NorthPointe’s commitment is to the proper and age-appropriate training of each dancer.

New Facility Our new 12,000 sq. ft. facility has six dance studios featuring full-length mirrors, ballet barres, variable speed CD players, and pro-sound systems. Our marley floor allows dancers to slide with control but not slippery. All studios have floating floors with over 700 high-foam blocks under the service. Our special floors help reduce the risk of injuries and allow students to dance longer without getting tired.

Customer Service Knowledgeable, helpful desk staff are available to assist students during class time. We strive to provide outstanding service and take care of all the details so attending lessons are hassle free and enjoyable. “NorthPointe has a sense of community, family, and relationships that make it a special place to dance. Not only do we have some of the best, current, and caring dance teachers in the area, but we have some of the best support from families! Dance has been a great way for our daughters to express themselves with the joy of music and art.” -The Playko Family “NorthPointe Dance Academy is dance, fun, and friends.” -Arrhianna and Alyse Playko “We love the experienced teachers at NorthPointe who nurture the love of dance with warmth & fun for our daughters.” -Martha Miller The staff at NorthPointe is first class! They are friendly and caring, yet strict in the discipline of dance. They have taught my daughters poise and self-confidence and they love attending the classes. -Suzanne Polk “Dancing at NorthPointe has given me the chance to express my feelings in a creative and fun way. Best of all, NorthPointe has allowed me to find friends that will last a lifetime.” -Abby Brown Our daughter Olivia has danced at NDA since 2003. Watching her transform from a 5 year old little girl into a beautiful and graceful dancer has been an amazing journey! -Mark & Julie Gutentag

Race for postseason begins opening week By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A little more than two weeks remain before the first official snaps are taken on central Ohio high school football fields. For traditional playoff contenders, the first regular-season game begins a journey that includes the expectation that it might take a dozen games or more before true satisfaction comes. The teams in the middle, meanwhile, enter the season with a different kind of anxiousness.

One team from Division I, Region 3 — Lancaster — went 7-3 and failed to make the playoffs last year. There were seven other teams in the region that went 5-5 or 6-4 and had their seasons end before the postseason. For programs such as Gahanna and Upper Arlington where long playoff runs have come in the recent past, the need to move back into the postseason race is one that can be a consuming desire. Gahanna has missed the playoffs the past three seasons after qualifying for the postseason five of the pre-

vious seven seasons. Upper Arlington has missed the postseason the past two years after making the playoffs nine of the previous 12 years. The Golden Bears won the Division I state title in 2000. “Obviously, winning football teams are expected at Gahanna Lincoln,” Lions coach John Snoad said. “We’ve been a .500 team, and that’s not acceptable in our community. They understand there’s a great tradition with great playoff teams. Last year, we were literally three points away from being 7-3 and the eighth seed.

“A good team has good discipline. The key here is if we take care of business in key plays. Those are the things that separate the fine line between being 5-5 and being 7-3 or 8-2. We have some tremendous talent, and now we have to work very hard to get strong in the weight room and get out and be disciplined.” Others in Region 3 left on the outside a year ago when each went 6-4 were Pickerington North, Groveport, Olentangy Liberty and Mount Vernon. One school in particular that hopes failing to make the postseason won’t

become a habit is Liberty, which had made six consecutive postseason appearances before last season. Olentangy, Dublin Jerome, Dublin Scioto, Olentangy Orange and Watkins Memorial all were 6-4 but were left on the outside of the Division II, Region 7 playoffs a year ago. Among the others hoping to be breakout teams this year are Granville and Licking Heights, both of which went 7-3 last year but failed to make the Division III, Region 11 playoffs.

Commentary

Athletes admire, inspired by heroes There are youngsters in central Ohio who want to develop into the athlete and person that the high school students writing in my summer series are today. These bowlers, football players, golfers, soccer players, track athletes and wrestlers are held in the highest LARRY esteem by LARSON younger athletes who know their accomplishments. So, who are the heroes for these role models? Let’s find out. Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “I admire (NFL quarterback) Tim Tebow because he is a Christian athlete and strong in his faith. He never let anybody tell him he couldn’t achieve what he wanted to and he worked hard to get what he wanted.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “My hero is (pole vaulter) Tim Mack. I have met him a couple of times and he has been someone who I have admired for a while. I like the way he jumps and the way he teaches.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “My biggest role model is my older sister, Domini. She is a great human being who has great morals and is always willing to help others and myself. I love her so much and she has helped me get through some truly tough times.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “My role model is my father because he is a very dedicated man and has always been my idol.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “My hero is my father, Dave Delande. He is always there for me, gives me great advice as well as good coaching tips.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “My top hero or role model is (professional bowler) Kelly Kulick because she was the first woman to win the USBC Tournament of Champions.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “My best hero? This year I don’t have a best. So many people have been the light when I needed one with encouragement and support. They all are like family in shining armor.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “My hero is God. It is sacrifice and love for others that can be translated into the love you must have for your teammates and the selflessness you must have on the field.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “My grandparents are my heroes. They have always supported me in golf and in life and I have

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

COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 41 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd. 3. GREG AVERY, Newark boys basketball (March 15, 2008) — Avery led the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory over

Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game. The 6-3 senior forward tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals as the Wildcats captured their first state title since 1943. Avery made third-team all-state his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. He became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 points, finishing with 1,131 career points. 2. RYAN WILSON, Westerville North boys track and field (June 5-6, 1998) — Wilson qualified for the Division I state meet in four events all four years of his prep career. Perhaps his greatest feat at state occurred in 1998, as he lived up to his own high expectations in many aspects, winning the long jump (23 feet, 1 inch) on the first day of competition and coming back on day two with titles in the 110-meter hurdles (13.95 seconds) and 300 hurdles (37.1). He also placed seventh in the 200. The three titles he won that weekend gave North 30 points and a cochampionship in Division I with Brunswick. In 1999, he defended his titles in the 110 hurdles (13.7) and 300 hurdles (36.46).

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 C3 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 growth, See OCC, page C3

•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 Ohio Dragons 18-and-under fastpitch travel softball team won the USSSA Eastern Regional The other new “White” is Westland’s Steve World Series held July 25-30 in Salisbury, Md.

team format. Another option is adding at least five teams and having three divisions. â€œThe LCL impacted the MSL, but we know the MSL will recover and be as strong as it was before,â€? Riggs said. â€œChange is difficult, but this move should help our student-athletes. They need to be prepared for the postseason by playing bigger schools in the regular season. This is the right move at the right time. Weâ€™ll miss our old friends and rivals, but weâ€™re hoping to keep some of them on our non-league schedules. â€œItâ€™s also an honor for us to be invited to join the OCC, which is one of the premier conferences in Ohio. Itâ€™s a tribute to our athletic programs, our school and our community.â€?

the variety of sports offered, the facilities and community support as well as other items.â€? The reformation of the Licking County League, which disbanded in 1991, is expected to force realignment in the Mid-State League. Granville, Heath, Lakewood, Licking Heights, Licking Valley and Newark Catholic all will be leaving the MSL for the LCL. Also joining the league are Johnstown, Northridge and Utica from the Mid-Buckeye Conference. Bexley, Grandview, Hamilton Township, Teays Valley and Whitehall are among the 17 teams remaining in the MSL. Chillicothe, Fairfield Christian, Grove City Christian, Logan and Worthington Christian have shown interest in joining the MSL, bemerine@thisweeknews.com which is discussing a two- or three-division, 18- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

DELANDE kid, but I find it hard to believe thereâ€™s too many kids tougher than him that are on the field when weâ€™re playing. â€œHe never falls backward, heâ€™s always falling forward. He gets positive yardage.â€? Davidson rushed for 345 yards on 72 carries against Mentor, outmatching the Cardinalsâ€™ nohuddle offense that passed for 327 yards. â€œThat had to be the most ridiculous ending to a game, let alone a season, that I can remember,â€? said Dietz, who is entering his senior year at the U.S. Air Force Academy. â€œEverything fell into place.â€? â€œIt was a pretty special night for everybody in Hilliard,â€? White said. â€œIt was one of those things that you never expect to happen and when it happens I donâ€™t know if you really know how to react to it. Everybody tells you enjoy the moment, but at that time youâ€™re so concentrated on what youâ€™re trying to accomplish, I donâ€™t know that you can really enjoy it. Weâ€™ve certainly looked back upon it with some fond memories since then.â€? 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.

Continued from page C1

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. Mentorâ€™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. â€œNone of us coaches had any idea during the course of the game that Bo had scored one, two, three, four or five touchdowns,â€? White said. â€œItâ€™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 â€” and I believe Bo would be the first to admit this â€” is the offensive line we had that year was pretty special.â€? 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. â€œBo has been a huge part of our offense this year,â€? White said during the 2006 season. â€œHe isnâ€™t necessarily the fastest kid on the field. He fdirenna@thisweeknews.com normally isnâ€™t the biggest kid, isnâ€™t the strongest www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

LARSON Continued from page C1 learned so much from them.â€? Next week, the student-athletes conclude their summer series by telling you what their future plans are both academ-

ically and athletically. Also, a new year in high school sports begins on Monday, Aug. 15, when area golfers tee off and girls tennis players hit the courts. How about that?

Heather Kamann & ThisWeek Sell Homes & Find Buyers

My wife Sue and I have worked with Heather multiple times over the past ten years, on both the buying and selling side. She and her team are the ultimate professionals! Heatherâ€™s attention to detail, knowledge of the market, followup and negotiating skills are second to none. Heather recently sold our house in less than 10 weeks for a very fair price in what has been a â€œchallengingâ€? real estate market (Heather assisted us in buying this same house nine years ago when we re-located to Ohio from Connecticut). Bottom-line... Heather really cares about her clients and their needs. She does whatever it takes to get the job done right. We are honored to work with her and proud to call her a friend!â€?
