Fountain Park slated for renovation By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
One of Upper Arlington’s smaller city parks will be receiving a facelift this fall. City staff members held a presentation last week at Tremont Fountain Park to unveil to neighbors and community members some of the changes they’ll soon see at the park, which is on the west side of Redding Road at the Northam Road intersection. Plans for the park’s renovation call for replacing the existing concrete plaza with a new paver plaza with steel benches, retrofitting several wooden park benches with recycled materials, adding new landscaping features and providing wheelchair access ramps to the new plaza, according to city horticulturist Lisa Metcalf. “We hope to get the bids out

Most of the orange barrels dotting Lane Avenue for American Electric Power’s summer construction project should be removed before the start of the school year, city officials said last week. “(AEP) was working on the Tremont and Lane intersection last week, which means they’re moving west at a pretty good speed,” said Emma Speight, deputy city manager for community affairs. “They should be in the last Upper Arlington section starting this week. “We’re looking at Tremont west to Riverside Drive as the primary work for this week, and probably the week of Aug. 8.” AEP has been installing underground electric utility lines along most of the length of Lane Avenue in order to connect a substation west of the Scioto River with a substation at Ohio State University, Speight said. The project includes trenching work to install casing for the utility lines. Crews are about to start the process of pulling those cables through the casings. “Once AEP has finished that trenching, they will begin pulling cable through and splicing cables together,” she said. “They are going to be on the east end of Lane Avenue at Kenny Road any day now pulling cable from one vault to the next. As that work is being done there will be two lanes of traffic taken up at those manhole points.” The work being done on Lane Avenue between Tremont Road and Riverside Drive (Work Zone C) is expected to be completed during the week of Aug. 15 or

shortly thereafter, unless AEP crews encounter areas of rock, according to a city news release. As crews approach the intersection of Riverside Drive, Lane Avenue will be completely closed west of Leeds Road to allow the trenching work to curve north onto Riverside Drive. For residents in this area, Speight said that refuse, recycling and yard waste collection will still take place on Mondays, although collection will take place between 6 and 7 a.m. Speight said the city is anticipating this entire stretch of Lane Avenue will be resurfaced in the spring. For the most part, city staff hasn’t been receiving much criticism from residents and the business community over the delays caused by construction on Lane Avenue, she said. “It’s been very quiet,” she said. “Once AEP moved west of the commercial district they really picked up speed. I think the residents have been seeing that progress on a daily basis, and we’ve been making an effort to get the word out on the work’s progression.” Regular updates on the roadwork can be found on the city website at www.uaoh.net and at www.pavingtheway.org.

Upper Arlington police have arrested two adults and six juveniles in connection with several residential burglaries and thefts from vehicles that occurred in July. On July 23, police arrested Wesley V. Guzman, 28, of Westerville, and Darla L. Taylor, 31, of Columbus, at the Swim and Racquet Club, 3500 Kenny Road, after receiving word that a man and woman were trying to enter vehicles parked in the club’s lot, according to a news release from the UAPD. Guzman and Taylor were found to be in possession of wallets, a cellphone and jewelry that had been reported stolen from
charged with theft and receiving stolen property, and were taken to the Franklin County Jail. Lt. Paul Schaumburg said some of the items had been reported as stolen from the York Country Club in Columbus earlier that day. Police investigators also arrested six juveniles on July 18, in connection with several residential burglaries that took place between July 14 and 17. Schaumburg said the juveniles range in age from 13 to 16. Detectives have prepared case files against them that have already been submitted to the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas.

An Upper Arlington resident best known for his skills on the football field is trading in his pads for a suit and tie. Dan Crawford, a 2007 graduate of Upper Arlington High School, was recently selected into the 2011 corps of the Teach for America program, a national endeavor in which recent college graduates commit to teach for two years in urban or rural public schools. Crawford, who began teaching this week as part of the program, said he’s excited to have the opportunity to teach. “The program itself, they ask for a two-year commitment and recruit students coming out of their undergrad to go into some under-privileged communities across the country and teach in the schools,” Crawford said. “I’m just really excited about where I am, and being able to have the impact that I’ll hopefully have. “It’s exciting going into this coming right out of college,” he said, “having that kind of re-

New Zoll defibrillator donated for Amelita Mirolo Barn’s use By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A new life-saving device has been donated for use at Upper Arlington’s recently opened Amelita Mirolo Barn. A new ZOLL AED Plus automated external defibrillator was installed at the barn July 27. The equipment, which is worth about $2,000, was donated by Upper Arlington firefighters. Fire division public information officer Dan Kochensparger said the division was awarded the AED after city firefighters won a CPR Challenge competition at the Riverside Methodist Hospital last December. “There was a little delay, but we wanted to make sure the barn was ready to go first,” Kochensparger said. “This goes to our basic mission of wanting to do what we can to outfit buildings in the city with as much safety equipment as possible.” An AED is a portable device that auto-
matically diagnoses cardiac arrhythmias and tachycardia, and then defibrillates the victim if needed. The machines are designed to be usable by people with little or no first aid training, in the event that first responders are not readily available. Out of the 17 agencies that participated in the challenge, Upper Arlington’s firefighters won for best overall agency turnout and for best overall average score with the newly revised American Heart Association CPR guidelines, Kochensparger said. He added that AED devices have become prevalent in the city. “We started a project several years ago in conjunction with other groups who wanted to help raise funds, and now I believe that all of the schools have them, some have multiple AEDs,” he said. “I’m pretty sure all of the city buildings have them, and we’ve started to notice them in doctor’s officers and in public places like golf courses. It’s something that’s really caught on.”
Last year, the American Heart Association issued revisions to its guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science. Kochensparger said the new revisions may be simpler for someone put into a situation of performing CPR for the first time. “It puts less emphasis on the breathing, more on the circulation,” he said. “I think from our standpoint, it’s still a scary situation for a person who’s never done CPR before, and a lot of people are hesitant. Aesthetically I think it’s easier for a lot of people to think about performing chest compressions than the mouth-to-mouth.” Kochensparger said that the fire division is planning to conduct CPR training classes for interested members of the public. The division is currently looking into funding and equipment to offer training. More details on that program will be announced as they’re available, he said. lrice@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Continued from page A1 No changes will be made to the park’s namesake fountain during the renovations. “There was already work done on the fountain in 1986, and quite a bit of work done in 1992 for the (Columbus) bicentennial as well,” Metcalf said. “There will be some new trees that are placed as part of the landscape around the fountain, smaller varieties with low maintenance needs. There will also be a few trees that are in decline that will be removed, and we’ll put in new trees to replace them.” Parks and forestry superintendent Steve Cothrel said during last week’s presentation that once the renovations begin in the fall, the work should be completed in a few weeks. Metcalf said the work is a part of Upper Arlington’s capital improvement budget, and has been in planning for several years. An exact price tag will be known after the city receives bids on the work, but the capital improvement budget allows between $35,000 and $50,000 for the project. “This is one of our smaller parks, but it’s also centrally located, and is very close to Northam
Park, sort of the hub of the city,” Metcalf said. “This park has a very laid-back feel. It’s a place where you could go and have a small picnic.” For years, members of the Four Seasons Garden Club have volunteered their time and effort to keep the park’s landscaping in order. Club member Janie Jones said that garden club members will be working with the city as the renovation progresses to select new flowers and other plants for the site. “We’re pleased with what the city has come up with for the park,” Jones said. “We like the way Lisa is reconfiguring the flower beds, which will let us match the flowers a little better, giving everything something of an updated look. We’re excited about it.” Jones added that the Tremont Fountain Park qualifies for the city’s Beautification Program, which means that anyone in the city can help out through monetary donations, or offer flowers, trees or plants. Metcalf said anyone in the community who can come forward with a sponsorship would be welcome. lrice@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Applications still being taken for UA citizen police academy By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A closer look
The Upper Arlington police are asking residents to turn off their television cop shows and come in to see the reality of a working police division. Community relations officer Heather Galli said that there are still seats available for the 2011 citizen police academy, which takes place Thursday evenings from Sept. 15 through Nov. 17. “Preference is given to Upper Arlington residents and people who work in the city, but in the past we’ve also allowed others from outside the community who have an interest,” Galli said. “The courses are geared toward community members, to give them a hands-on view of the different components of the police department, and what we do in the community. “We want to show that we’re not limited to what people consider the traditional patrol duties,” she said. “A lot of times people are unaware of the variety of diverse services we offer through the department, aside

from just responding to calls for service.” Over the course of the two-month academy, students will work with patrol officers, detectives and other officers in the areas of crime scene investigations, crime prevention, legal considerations and the laws of arrest, defensive tactics, firearms safety and training, patrol tactics and traffic stop practices. Academy students will also be able to go on a ride-along with a police officer during the training. While the yearly academy is capped at a maximum of 12 students, Galli said there is still room for applicants before the Aug. 19 deadline. “We keep it to that number of students so
we can have a nice ratio between instructors and students,” Galli said. “That deadline will probably be extended, that way we can do some minimal background checks and follow ups with the people participating.” Academy graduates are also invited to join the Citizen Police Academy Alumni Group, which provides volunteering opportunities in the community, Galli said. In the past the alumni have helped with traffic control during the July 4 parade, worked information booths at city events, and raised funds to build child ID kits for area daycare centers and other businesses. “When you look at the return rate for our police academy, we at the department feel that we’re really blessed to have this kind of commitment by those willing to help and give back to their community,” Galli said. Application forms for this year’s citizen police academy are available online at www.uaoh.net or by calling the police division at (614) 583-5159. lrice@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The burglaries all took place south of Lane Avenue, on Baldridge, Waltham, Edgemont and Guilford roads, he said. In those burglaries, computers, cash, jewelry, firearms and electronic equipment were stolen while the homeowners were away.

As it were
There are still a few places in American life where all of the work is done by people of one gender — modeling men’s or women’s clothing comes to mind — but there are not many. Most of the professions, trades and occupations in our society are practiced by ED women as well as men. LENTZ This is not to say that women are always treated the same in these lines of work. It is not too hard to find professions where women are still paid less than men. Why that might be the case, I will leave to writers about the current scene considerably wiser than I. Suffice to say, 100 years ago there were not all that many women working in the skilled professions outside the home. One of them was Elise Fitch Hinman. And while one might make the case that the kind of work she did was still in the throes of becoming a profession, no one ever said that Elise Fitch Hinman was not very good at what she did. And what she did was write professionally for a local newspaper in Columbus. To appreciate how remarkable this was at the time, we should probably take a quick look at the “newspaper trade” of a century ago. At the turn of the twentieth century, there was no radio, no television and the movies were still machines vaguely resembling an ATM into which one put a nickel to see flickering images of people doing presumably interesting things. Hence the name, nickelodeon. Most people got most of their news from newspapers. In Columbus in 1900, there were several to choose from. The town of more than 125,000 people had several daily papers and a number of weeklies as well. Most papers in that era professed a pronounced political viewpoint — in their news pages as well as their editorials. The Ohio State Journal was the official voice of the Ohio Republican Party. For many years, the old Ohio Statesman had done the same thing for the Democrats. It was gone by 1900. By that time, what would become the Columbus Press-Post was trying to be the Democratic paper. In the midst of these partisan struggles were, among other papers, the Columbus Dispatch and the Columbus Citizen. The newspaper trade was a tough business. Whole bundles of newspaper to be sold on one corner or another were sometimes stolen. Paperboys from one paper often literally fought for a lucrative corner with paper boys from another paper. And reporters — a rather hard-living crew — sometimes fought with their rivals from other papers with fists rather than words. The high point, or low point, depending on one’s point of view, of these conflicts had come in 1888 when the two Elliot brothers marched up High Street from the office of their newspaper and shot dead the editor of a competing paper in broad daylight.

Upper Arlington cyclists gear up for Pelotonia event By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
While thousands of bicyclists will take to the highways later this month for the cancer research fundraising Pelotonia, nearly 100 of those cyclists will ride under the banner of Stefanie Spielman. Stefanie’s Team of Hope, comprising many Upper Arlington residents, is open to anyone with a desire to help the Pelotonia cause, said team founder Shannon Peterson. “We just added a few more riders this week, and we’re still taking more,” Peterson said. “We’re accepting new team members all the way up to the weekend of the ride. “This is just amazing. For me it has been a life-changing experience.” The Pelotonia began in 2009 as a project to fund cancer research conducted at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital. In its first two years, more than 6,000 riders from 35 states have gathered together to raise $12.3 million for the cause. Stefanie’s Team of Hope raised $181,000 for the ride last year; this year the team aims to raise $350,000. Peterson, an Upper Arlington resident, said Stefanie’s Team of Hope participates in the Pelotonia to carry on Spielman’s legacy of hope, celebrate her life, and

continue the fight until the world is cancer-free. Spielman died in November 2009, after a decades-long battle with breast cancer. While she fought the disease, Spielman and her husband, Chris, worked to raise more than $8 million to support research and patients at The James.

“When you think of Stefanie and Chris and all of the lives they touched, it’s reached beyond Ohio,” Peterson said. “Obviously we were founded in Upper Arlington, but now we have riders from Kentucky, Findlay and Canton — it continues to grow each year.” New team member Kellee Gauthier
said she was recruited to the team by friends. “I’m actually new to the whole sport,” Gauthier said. “It’s been wonderful because I’ve been introduced to a whole new way to meet people and to do something for the cause. I trust and know OSU as a graduate, and I’m proud of what we
do in the area of cancer research.” Team member Sue Fitz said that the team is working to keep her sister’s legacy alive. “It’s wonderful having this team name, it’s very empowering,” she said. “We ride to honor the memory of Stefanie, and to continue the fight that she started. It’s wonderful that so many people want to jump on board and keep that legacy going.” Fitz said last year’s Pelotonia was an inspiring experience. “We got up before the sun rose and met at a coffee shop, everyone gathered in the dark and I thought, ‘What have I gotten myself into?’” she laughed. “We all rode our bikes to the Pelotonia, and just seeing the sun rise was such a glimmer of hope. “When we got there and saw the thousands upon thousands of people there to fight for this cause, it was very overwhelming and inspiring. You do it once, and it will become a yearly thing for you.” Peterson said that anyone interested in joining the team in its fundraising efforts can learn more online at the Stefanie’s Team of Hope Facebook page, at www.pelotonia.org, or by calling her at 614-226-4675. lrice@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The Franklin Club, a Columbus-area bridge club with many of its members from the Tri-Village area, is marking its 75th anniversary this year. “We’re one of the oldest continuing clubs in the United States,” said club board member Terry Smith, of Marble Cliff resident. The club formed one year before the national organization, the American Contract Bridge League, and two years before the Central Ohio Bridge Association. Columbus was one of many areas of the country where bridge grew in popularity in the early 1930s, largely due to the renowned bridge player Ely Culbertson, who wrote books, lectured and hosted a radio program on the game, Smith said. “Our club was formed by people who loved playing bridge,” he said. “A lot of them were from the northwest area of Columbus. “We’re very proud that after 75 years, our club is still here,” Smith said. The club meets each Thursday night at the Columbus Bridge Center in the Crown Point Shopping Center off Bethel Road. “We meet every Thursday, unless its Thanksgiving or another holiday like Christmas falls on a Thursday,” Smith said. People must be invited to join the club, in large part because the available table space at the bridge center is limited, he said.

Joan Klitch, president of the Franklin Bridge Club, studies her hand during a game July 28 at the Columbus Bridge Center. The club is one of the oldest in the United States.
“We have a lot of couples, married couples, who play together,” Smith said. A formula is used to create standings that are updated each week, he said, before a yearly champion is recognized. “It’s competitive, but very friendly,” Smith said. “We don’t allow any mean-spiritedness in our club.” Smith said he has been playing bridge for more than 50 years. “My family has always been loved playing bridge, starting with my parents,” he said. “My mother and I owned a bridge store in Grandview from 1965 to 1975.” Smith’s sister, Marble Cliff
resident Joan Klitch, is also a long-time club member. “I love the friendships that are formed through the club,” she said. “We help each other outside of our club nights when something comes up.” Once you are hooked, bridge is a game that will maintain a hold on you, said Centerburg resident Dick Comstock. There are club members who continue to come to play bridge into their 90s, he said. Comstock said he has been playing bridge for more than 35 years and is still learning new things about the game. “I really enjoy the competitiveness of bridge,” Hilliard res-
ident Paula Messinger said. “Each time, you can try to do better.” “If you like games, you’re going to have fun playing bridge,” Dublin resident Joan Phillips said. “One of the best things about bridge, especially as you grow older, is that it helps keep you mentally sharp,” Smith said. Unfortunately, bridge, once one of America’s favorite pastimes, seems to be losing its popularity, he said. “Young people just don’t seem to play it like people from my generation did,” Smith said. “There’s too much competition with video games, cable TV, computer games and the Internet. “I worry about it,” he said.

Workshops aim to help owners of older homes By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Nothing wants to stay a house for long. Wood rots. Foundations subside. Paint peels. Metal rusts. Shingles slide. Lots and lots of other unpleasant and potentially expensive things can go wrong with the parts and pieces of a house. At the half-century mark, even the best-built home is going to show its age and require some tender loving care. Because much of the local housing stock falls into that category or is even considerably older, the Columbus Landmarks Foundation has been embarked on a local preservation initiative. The next in a series of “Old House DIY Workshops 2011” will take place on Saturday, Aug. 13, at the Community Properties of Ohio Training Facility, 933 E. Gay St. For $5, owners of older homes may attend a session from 9 to 11 a.m. to find out how to identify and resolve common maintenance issues. The fee for a session on wood restoration that afternoon from 1 to 5 costs $10. During the latter hands-on workshop, attendees will learn how to stabilize rotted wood, use wood consolidants and expoxies and prepare restored wood for painting. The workshops, entitled “Nuts and Bolts: the Basics of Home Maintenance,” are being put on with funding received from the United Way of Central Ohio and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, according Columbus Landmarks Foundation executive director Kathy Mast Kane. “The premise being that if we, as owners, learned to do this routine maintenance and inspection, we prevent major expenses down the road and make home ownership more attractive,” Kane said last week. Nathalie Wright, a field representative for both the Columbus Landmarks Foundation and National Trust for Historic Preservation, is providing staffing for
the initiative. The term “older homes” is loosely defined, according to Kane, but it generally refers to ones that are approaching 50 or possibly well beyond. That covers a lot of territory in neighborhoods such as Clintonville and in many of Northland’s subdivisions, Kane pointed out. “There are a lot of ranch subdivisions and they are approaching that 50-year mark,” Kane said. “Maybe the message is for residents in those neighborhoods — they may not be thinking of their homes as ‘older’ but truly, they are approaching a 50th birthday or are just past it. “It doesn’t have to be a turnof-the-century home for this to be applicable.” A home doesn’t even necessarily have to be even very old at all, the foundation executive director said. “Funding from the United Way and the National Trust helps hold down the costs of putting on the workshops so as many people as possible can and will attend. With luck, Kane said, this will lead to

Boys Golf
UA duo enjoys Torrey Pines experience By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Torrey Pines. The storied San Diego-area golf course with scenic tees and fairways along the Pacific Ocean can take the breath and nerve away from the world’s top golfers. Will Mason and Josh Wick were no exception. The two juniors on the Upper Arlington High School boys golf team both qualified for the ages 15-17 boys Junior World tournament, which was
played last month at Torrey Pines. Though they would have preferred lower scores, Mason and Wick believe their games will improve from the experience of playing in one of the top junior events in the world. “At the first tee, I was playing with one of the best junior golfers in the world, (eventual champion) Beau Hossler, and that might have gotten into my head a little,” Mason said. “Not only was I playing at (Torrey Pines), but there were a lot of college coaches there watching him and I got a lit-
tle nervous. But I can’t blame (my performance) all on nerves. I was able to shoot a 79 (on the par-74 course) on the first day.” Neither Mason nor Wick made the cut after the third round in the fourround tournament. Mason finished in a four-way tie for 168th in a 211-player field with a 28-over-par 244 (79-8085), with a 226 (10-over) being the cutoff. Wick finished in a four-way tie for 173rd with a 246. Hossler, a Rancho San Margarita, Calif., resident, shot a 3-under par 285
to beat Bryson DeChambeau of Clovis, Calif., by two strokes after the final round, which was played July 15. “I wasn’t actually really nervous. I was just trying to take the whole thing in,” said Wick, who had an 87 in the opening round, followed by an 82 and a 77. “I did have a little bit of butterflies, but I was more worried about where I was going to hit the ball than anything else.” The experience definitely had an effect on Mason, who made the cut in the ages 16-18 boys Optimist Interna-
tional Junior Golf Championships, which ended July 31 at the PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Mason shot a par-72 in the second round after an opening round of 77 for a 5-over 149. He then shot a 79 in the third round, giving him a 12-over 228 after three rounds. The cutoff for the final round was a 229. In the final round, he shot a 9-over 81 to finish with a 21-over 309, tying See GOLF, page B2
Commentary
Athletes share thoughts, advice For more than a decade, I have had student-athletes write in this summer series and the three questions that I enjoy hearing their responses from the most are what advice they would give to younger students who are beginning their sport, who their heroes are and what their future plans are LARRY at this time of LARSON their life. The final three weeks of this summer’s columns deal with those topics, beginning with the one on advice. As young people grow, they are faced with decisions on activities they might want to try. Whether it’s music, science, art, drama, sports or any other extracurricular activity, I highly urge them to give things a chance and see if it is the right fit for them. Here are suggestions from student-athletes who are among the best in the area, if not the state, at their sport. Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I would encourage the need to make sure you take responsibility for yourself in the sport. You can’t blame other people, coaches, parents, referees or other players for your downfalls and losses. Remember that there is a lot of time to play soccer and you have to keep the passion alive and keep teammates as the most important thing.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I would tell a young athlete in my sport to have a good head. Golf is just about the least amount of strokes, not what strokes may or may not look like.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Work hard at your sport. When it gets really tough, fight through it and keep going.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “You will experience failure and defeat. The key thing is this: If the endeavor was a defeat, it was also a learning experience. It does not make you a failure.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “No matter what happens, make sure you give it your all and don’t quit. Pole vaulting is not an easy sport, but when you become success-

Darts roll to sweep at GCSL meet By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Having to report to the Delaware Darts swimming practice at 7 a.m. five days a week this summer, Brooke Glesenkamp hasn’t had many opportunities to sleep in this summer. But after the Darts swept the junior and senior titles at the Greater Columbus Swim League championships July 22-26 at the Plain Township pool, she said the early morning practices paid off. “I get up early and do this because I love doing it,” said Glesenkamp, who competed in the girls 11-12 age group. “Sometimes I have to miss doing things with my other school friends, but I think getting the championship made it all worth it.” The Darts won the combined title with a total of 3,121.5 points, finishing ahead of the Northwest Tigersharks (2,388.5), the Highland Otters (2,123.5), the Worthington Waves (1,979.5), the Westerville Jaycee Poolcats (1,687.5), Olympic (1,632), the Plain Township Gators (1,180.5) and the Gahanna Sea Lions (960). Delaware captured its third consecutive junior title in the 6-andunder, 7-8 and 9-10 age groups, scoring 1,357 points to finish ahead of Olympic (854.5), Highland (825.5), Westerville (799.5), Worthington (737.5), Northwest (720.5), Plain Township (580.5) and Gahanna (397). The Darts won the senior division, which consisted of the 1112, 13-14 and 15-18 age groups, for the first time since 2004. Delaware compiled 1,764.5 points to finish ahead of Northwest (1,668), Highland (1,298), Worthington (1,242), Westerville (888), See LARSON, page B2 Olympic (777.5), Plain Township

(600) and Gahanna (563). “This is the first time in our 33 years both the juniors and the seniors won the league meet,” said Darts coach Bill Rietz, who also coaches the Delaware Hayes High School swimming and diving teams. “I told the kids, ‘Just because we won all (five of) the dual meets doesn’t mean we’re going to win the whole ball of wax.’” Glesenkamp seemed to take Rietz’s message to heart, as she placed first in the 50-meter backstroke (33.68 seconds), 50 freestyle (29.58) and 100 individual med-

They are down at the pool at 7 a.m. while most of their buddies are still in bed,” Rietz said. “This must be something they enjoy. I know they enjoyed it quite a bit last night.” Winners for Northwest in the
15-18 age group were Joey Long in the 100 free (meet-record 53.54) and 100 breast (1:09.54), the 200 free relay of Long, Jordan Krumpleman, Alex Chin and Michael Robinson in the 200 free relay (1:41.16) and Alex Chin in the 100 back (1:00.65) for the boys and the 200 free relay of Camey Rabold, Emily Boone,Amy Trace and Abby Chin (meet-record 1:55.87), the 200 medley relay of Rabold, Elizabeth Long, Boone and Abby Chin (meet-record See GCSL, page B3

Top Individual Performances: No. 2
North’s Wilson ran to glory at state track meet in ’98 By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Even before Ryan Wilson entered high school, his mother, Cynthia, got a glimpse of the kind of competitor who was emerging under her roof. “He might have been 12 or 13 years old, and he told me, ‘I’m going to go to the state track meet all four years in four events,” his mother said. “That’s exactly what he would do, and he scored in 14 of those 16 events.” Perhaps his greatest feat as a prep athlete occurred in the 1998 Division I state meet, as the Westerville North junior 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). Even with a weekend full of accomplishments, there was a disappointment that is just as memorable to Wilson: He had to settle for seventh place in the 200. Although athletes now receive two points for finishing seventh and one point for eighth in an event, a different point system was in place at that time in which no points were given for seventh or eighth. The three titles he won that weekend gave North 30 points and a co-championship in Division I with Brunswick. “The interesting thing is that what I remember most about it is the lesson I learned,” Wilson said. “The 200 was my last event and was definitely my weakest event. I had chosen to run the 200 instead of the (1,600 relay) that year and I remember I got seventh because I didn’t run all the way through the line. I remember when I watched the replay on the screen that someone was able to pass me right at the end. That extra point I didn’t get was what I remember the most because my team didn’t win the (outright championship).” Wilson’s performance in the 1998 state meet was part of one of the most remarkable prep careers of any central Ohio track
Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 3-10. Check back next week for No. 1 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
NOS. 3-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57
athlete. In 1996 as a freshman at Columbus Academy, he took second in the long jump, was fifth in the 110 hurdles and ran the anchor leg of the winning 1,600 relay in the Division III state meet. That performance followed a boys soccer season in which he helped the Vikings win the 1995 Division II state title. Wilson transferred to Westerville North midway through his
points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the freethrow line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. 4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 4-1 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.
sophomore season and immediately became a standout at the Division I track level. In the 1997 state meet, he took fourth in the long jump, fourth in the 110 hurdles and fourth in the 300 hurdles and helped the 1,600 relay finish third. In 1998, during the final state track meet held at Ohio Stadium, he was one of five North athletes competing but the only one who scored. The 3,200 relay of Nathan

Ryan Wilson won three events — the long jump, 100-meter hurdles and 300 hurdles — in the 1998 Division I state meet, scoring all of Westerville North’s points to secure a share of the state title with Brunswick. The 1999 North graduate advanced to state in four events each of his four seasons, scoring in 14 of the events.
Aichele, Jared Conley, Jason Conley and Tyler Pensyl also represented the Warriors but didn’t place. In 1999 at Welcome Stadium in Dayton, Wilson defended his titles in the 110 hurdles (13.7) and 300 hurdles (36.46) and finished third in the long jump (237 1/4). He also competed in the 1,600 relay that failed to place. “It was amazing, watching Ryan perform the way that he did,” said Pensyl, who went on to run for Denison University and has been working for the law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease as an associate for five years. “He rose to the occasion. We only lost one meet all year, and we had a number of outstanding individuals. It really felt like a team championship and I thought it was a reflection of everything that we did that year.” According to Bob Cavin, who was North’s coach in 1998 and currently serves as an assistant football and track coach at New Albany, a now-famous T-shirt was produced after the first day of the state meet. On the front, the shirt read, “Get outta my way. I’m on Ryan Wilson’s team.” On the back, it read, “I made it to the state meet, too.” “It was a great team accomplishment and Ryan was just the leader,” Cavin said. “For Ryan to score all of our points, that was just the icing on the cake.”
GOLF Continued from page B1
“Even though I happened to score all of the points, that was one of the best teams we’ve ever had,” Wilson said. “Even though it’s an individual sport, I still have a lot of friends from that team. That was the last meet in ‘The Horseshoe,’and I’m really proud I was able to be a part of people sending the track out in style.” Wilson comes from a family of track athletes. His brother, Glen, was a three-time state meet competitor for Academy who later competed in track for Yale. His mother coached track in the 1980s and early 1990s, making stops at Columbus Central, Centennial and Academy, and remains a teacher at Academy. After Wilson graduated from North, he competed for the University of Southern California, winning an NCAA title in the 110 hurdles in 2003. He also was the bronze medalist in the IAFF World Athletics Final in 2008. Wilson has been a professional track athlete since 2004. In the USATF Outdoor Nationals on June 25 in Eugene, Ore., he finished 16th (13.52) in the semifinals of the 110 hurdles senior race as the top eight advanced to the final. He then traveled to Europe to compete in meets in Switzerland and France in July. He also was expected to travel to Sweden for a meet in late July. Now 30 years old, Wilson ex-
pects to continue competing professionally for at least two years and possibly as many as six. He has lived in Los Angeles since 1999. “It’s a lot of fun to compete in Europe,” he said. “It’s always nice to know that there’s a knowledgeable fan base over there that really appreciates you. It’s refreshing. I definitely feel fortunate to be able to travel like this, and I’m trying to enjoy the parts that I can. Not a lot of people are able to see the world like I have.” Although he’s competed in track meets in front of as many as 75,000 fans in Europe, the sheer magnitude of winning three state titles is something Cynthia Wilson believes will live on in the memories of track fans throughout Ohio. “The further you get away from it, the more you realize what a big deal it was, especially since it was in Division I,” she said. “It was the last time the meet was held at Ohio State, so that was fun, too. He’s always set all of these goals for himself and some of those goals have eluded him, but he’s been able to run at the highest levels. He loves the hurdles and he really loved Westerville North and loved coach Cavin and the support from the community.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Sports briefs being the biggest difference between the two courses. “It was a lot longer than Muirfield, but the greens aren’t as difficult,” he said. “And (Torrey Pines) is right on the ocean, so the wind can affect your shot if you hit it high, and I hit a high ball. “Plus, they have Bermuda grass out there instead of the bentgrass at Muirfield. We played 7,300 (yards) out there and the longest courses we play in Ohio are about 7,000. And Muirfield has more hills. There wasn’t much undulation out there.” Mason said it was great having his teammate at Torrey Pines to share the experience. He also hopes the lessons learned will help him during the coming season. “It was a lot of fun because I was able to play a practice round with Josh and then go to dinner afterward,” he said. “It was also nice to be able to talk to someone about your round. “It was really special. Hopefully, it shows that we will have a solid high school team and that we can advance far into the postseason. Hopefully, it shows that we can have a good team this year.”
for 49th with Christian Carpenter of Hickory, N.C. Will Davenport of Palm City, Fla., won with a 7-under 281. “I definitely think the experience at Torrey Pines will help me deal with the pressure in big tournaments,” Mason said. “I think it will help me to play my own game instead of letting the pressure get into my head.” UA had the only two high school teammates playing in the Junior World event. “It’s something just to qualify one player to the Junior World, but to have two is amazing,” Golden Bears coach Ron Mautz said. “I think the experience will be great and should help them this fall.” Wick also believes that the event will help put future tournaments in perspective. “Will and I were talking afterward about all of the pressure on us playing (at Torrey Pines),” he said. “Now every tournament we play in won’t seem so big after playing that course. The course is really long and if you hit (the ball) straight, you can score. But if you hit it to the right or left, it can bite you in the butt.” Wick said Torrey Pines compared in difficulty to Muirfield shennen@thisweeknews.com Village Golf Club, with length www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Coaches face ‘delicate balance’ with scrimmages By JARROD ULREY
At a glance
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
On the way to its first losing season in 12 years last fall, an already young and undersized Ready High School football team was hindered further when it lost an expected two-way starter to a broken leg. The fact that Christian Knapper went down on the second play of the Silver Knights’ final preseason scrimmage to end his senior season virtually before it started was all the more painful. The 2011 preseason gets under way Tuesday, Aug. 9, with a series of matchups that includes Grove City traveling to Upper Arlington and Gahanna playing host to Olentangy Liberty. From Aug. 9-20, coaches and players will compete in various scrimmages throughout central Ohio in preparation for the coming season. They’ll be crossing their fingers that they won’t face a similar situation to what the Silver Knights and Knapper did last fall. “Injuries like that usually are freak accidents where somebody twists somebody or gets pretzeled underneath a pile,” Ready coach Larry Wolf said. “(Knapper’s injury was) where the kid tried to stop and cut.

or reason to them. Our kids are well-conditioned and well-prepared and we just tell them to go out and play hard.” After three seasons in which his team stayed mostly healthy over the course of each season, DeSales coach Ryan Wiggins watched last year as several key regular-season injuries, including one to running back Warren Ball that lingered much of the fall, hindered his team’s success.
Like Wolf, however, Wiggins isn’t planning to keep his players from giving their best effort just to try to keep them from getting injured, and that includes when they’re competing in a preseason scrimmage. “It’s a delicate balance,” Wiggins said. “It always bothers me when a kid gets hurt in practice, but you’ve got to prepare physically. You’re trying to be smart
when it’s your own guys, but when you play a different-colored jersey, you’ve just got to play. Usually when injuries occur they are freak things and you can’t worry about them.” Most of central Ohio’s teams are competing in two scrimmages, although a few will play two scrimmages from Aug. 916 and a third that the OHSAA deems a “jamboree” scrimmage from Aug. 18-20.
Because the OHSAA requires all schools to pay $250 to its Catastrophic Insurance Fund if they choose to compete in a third preseason game, schools may charge admission to the jamboree. Olentangy Orange opens its scrimmage schedule Aug. 13 against visiting Kings Mills Kings and plays host to Westland on Aug. 16 before playing host to Reynoldsburg on Aug. 19 in a jamboree. According to Pioneers coach Brian Cross, the scrimmage against Westland will be a “passing scrimmage.” Although both teams will have 11 players on the field unlike in the 7-on-7 passing tournaments during the summer, at least seven of every 11 plays will be passes. Cross considers it to be a sign of the times as teams continue to develop more complex passing offenses. Westland’s new coach, Steve White, was an assistant under Cross when the two were on the same coaching staff at Grove City. “I don’t know what other people are doing, but having two scrimmages when we tackle and run the ball is enough,” Cross said. “This gives us a chance to have the defense see more passing, and we’ll mix in a few draw plays.” While some teams prefer to play a neighborhood school that could bring unique intensity during their scrimmage opener, oth-
ers will enter their first scrimmage with an eye on keeping it simple. Perennial playoff contender Eastmoor Academy and defending Division IV state champion Hartley will meet in the opening scrimmage for both teams Aug. 13 at Hartley. The matchup of East-side schools is one that Warriors coach Jim Miranda looks forward to because of the toughness that his team will get to face as it prepares for the coming season. “Hartley’s got a good, sound program with well-coached kids,” Miranda said. “(Hawks coach Brad Burchfield) enjoys the team speed we have. For us, they have a quickpaced offensive set and disciplined kids, so it makes us have to play sound.” DeSales plays at Westerville South on Aug. 13 in what Wiggins calls a “controlled” scrimmage. It then plays host to Upper Arlington on Aug. 19. “The first scrimmage is against somebody other than ourselves and it’s when you’re going to see real speed for the first time,” Wiggins said. “We know we’re going to see kids with good size and good athleticism, and we’re looking to see how physical we are and how well we’ve learned our assignments.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

During The Beat’s interview
1 with Keith Roberts of The Young Dubliners (see bit on Dublin Irish festival, this page), we asked him how he holds up vocally during an especially busy stretch, in light of having had surgery on his vocal cords a couple of years back. First off, he told us, he’s been at this for so long, most nights for 20 years, he wasn’t concerned. Second, he said, was that his band is about the band, not about his voice. “I’m not going out there and doing a Josh Groban impression.” But never fear, Groban himself will be doing Josh Groban Friday, Aug. 5, at the Schottenstein Center.

Everyone’s an O’. As in the wearing o’ the green or the raising o’ the wrist. The Dublin Irish Festival is three days (Aug. 57) o’ music and merriment (and lots of other stuff, but we’re primarily concerned with those two). Live entertainment on seven main stages, plus a handful of other dance, music and cultural programming, makes for a weekend with something for everyone. Dervish, Teada and the festival debut of Beoga for the traditionalists; Gaelic Storm, Scythian and The Young Dubliners (see our interview with frontman Keith Roberts at www.ThisWeekNews.com – we’ll be BeatBlogging from that interview as well) for the rockers; Moya Brennan or The Step Crew for something perhaps not quite as easily defined; plus the North Coast Pipe Band, Liz Carroll, the intimacy of the Celtic Music House, plenty of dancing, a host of local Celtic acts like Knot Fibb’n and Lone Raven … we could go on.

Genre-bending banjo 5 player Bela Fleck and his Flecktones mates Victor Wooten and Future Man reunited with original fourth member, harmonica player extraordinaire Howard Levy, a couple years back and the band is now touring in support of the original lineup’s first new record in almost 20 years. Fleck was kind enough to respond to some questions posed by The Beat in advance of the band’s Aug. 9 date at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion ($28/$32; 1-800-7453000) with Bruce Hornsby and his band. Read additional Qs and As in the BeatBlog.
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
The Beat: How have you felt about the Flecktones through the years — as a sort of home base musically or as one equal piece of each player’s larger puzzle? Bela Fleck: The Flecktones has been my most consistent musical outlet. I (along with Victor and Future Man) have played in this group for 24 years. And it is built around our strengths. Chick Corea talks about a band being like a mother ship for the members to orbit. That analogy may work. Sometimes we leave the mother ship for long periods but we always have come back. The Beat: It’s well documented that the lineup was originally assembled for a one-off gig. Can you explain how you put the players together and what triggered the idea to take it beyond that original plan? Bela Fleck: Originally, the band was put together to play for 30 minutes on a one-hour PBS show that I was fortunate enough to land. When we hit the stage the magic was palpable, and it gave all of us something to think about. I was playing in a band called New Grass Revival at that time, so it was hard to find time to get together till after Christmas. I put together four clubs for us to play, so we could see what happened. It got even better, so we decided to record. That album was picked up by Warner Brothers, and I left New Grass to go full time with the Flecktones. I could see that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Beat: Talk about reconnecting with Howard Levy and what he means to the Flecktones. Bela Fleck: Howard is a genius, and what he has done with harmonica in particular, is unprecedented. When Howard left, he was
very hard to replace, and the music changed a lot, and in some attractive ways. All the musicians who played with us over the next 17 years brought so much to the music. These four guys are the band that I put together. The music was really envisioned with these guys. And having Howard back completes the original intention of the group. So it is feeling great to all of us. The Beat: How is making Flecktones music the same and how is it different from when you started 20 or so years ago? Bela Fleck: The process was a bit different making the recording, since we were not on tour, rehearsing at sound-checks. But we fell quickly into our old rhythm of working together, and really agreed most of the time on what worked best. The Beat: How difficult is it to set list with the amount of material you have from which to draw? With Howard back will there be a greater emphasis on the first few records? Bela Fleck: The set list is fun. We are playing two-thirds of the music from the new album, and everything is from the first three albums. We have been mostly playing the same tunes from night to night, but that is because once the tour started, there hasn’t been much rehearsal time. As we continue, we will work up the rest of the new album, and some different old tunes. The Beat: Touring with Bruce Hornsby — can we expect plenty of cross-pollination in your sets? Bela Fleck: Yes, we intend to set up the stage so that both bands can be on stage simultaneously and anyone can sit in with anyone. Bruce and the Flecktones have a long and rich friendship, and we are all very happy to finally be doing a major tour together.
Harvest Pizzeria: New spot serves superlative pies On an opening-day visit, I was so blown away by the great pizzas and general sophistication of Harvest Pizzeria I couldn’t believe it had only been in business for a few hours. Ergo, I went back the very next day to confirm what I ate was in fact that sensational. Well, it was, and frankly it’s a good bet I’m perched on a seat there right now, buzzsawing through marvelous Harvest munchies while you’re reading this. Man, the German Village pizza scene has gone from famine to feast at warp speed. So what was formerly an area of town blessed with a wealth of terrific restaurants but cursed with a dearth of pizzerias is now home to the very best place to eat pizzas in Columbus. That’s because not only does Harvest crank out phenomenal ’zas, but from top to bottom, from its cute, Euro-ish patio to its tastefully
MENU by G. A. BENTON understated and hip, openkitchen-equipped dining room, Harvest exhibits extraordinary smarts and style. First of all, the building looks like an — and I never use this adjective — adorable brick cottage. Secondly, the non-pizza portion of the menu includes an engaging and non-cliche wine list; cocktails made with topnotch liquids; and excellently sourced, handmade appetizers and desserts. As a small plate, the WildCaught Galician Sardines ($8, but not on the menu the last time I went) ate like an elegant little salad.

lettuces and tongue-tinglingly citric dressing. But I had plenty more love to give when it came to the housemade Warm Ricotta ($8). Drizzled with balsamic vinegar plus lavender honey and brightened by lemon zest, this impressive, fresh-cheesy curd-fest tasted like the kind of Italian-style cheesecake you might eat in a real and real fancy Italian restaurant.
While far from bad, the House Chopped Salad ($9) suffered by comparison. Similarly, this colorful, crunchy and fun-to-munch ensemble had elements — salty and evanescent shaved ricotta salata curls and killer tomatoes from an owner’s Canal Winchester farm — that outclassed others (canned olives and chickpeas and iceberg lettuce). OK, those game-changing piz-
zas. I’ve eaten dozens of pizzas in Italy, where crust is king, and these Harvest pies are excitingly close to the real thing. They’re thin and delicate in the center but sexily puffy, charred and woodsmoke scented on their perfectly chewy edges. Yet whereas crusts and the (crushed-tomatolike) house sauce are classically Italian, toppings are up-to-theminute chic American. Here are a few highly recommended pies I tried. • Ohio Bacon ($14): Slightly sweet and salty, this beauty contained: Canadian-style bacon made with Ohio swine, milky fresh mozzerella, roasted red peppers and a garnish of superfresh marjoram. • Goat Cheese ($15): Thinly sliced sopressata (lusty salami), Ohio goat cheese, caramelized onions and lots of jammy oven-blistered tomatoes make this pizza soar.
Harvest Pizza Address: 495 S. 4th St., German Village Phone: (614) 824-1769 Web: harvestpizza.com
• Yuma ($13): This zesty, Southwestern model’s designed for spice lovers because its smoky chipotle-accented sauce strikes fire with jalapenos and clumps of chorizo; corn, havarti cheese and roasted red peppers tame the flames a bit. • Fennel Sausage ($15): Rich, sharp and bold with local gouda, smoked provolone, excellent sausage, onion and fennel pollen. Homemade desserts can wow too, such as the surprisingly fancy Butterscotch Budino ($6). Kinda like a dense pudding parfait with a lovely — and barely sweet — scorched sugar character, it has tart creme fraiche plus toasted hazelnuts and vanilla-scented Maldon sea salt for extra depth and texture.
Latest Bethel Road restaurant puts emphasis on sushi Yun Hui “Yumi” Wada wouldn’t put her new restaurant in just any area of town. But Northwest Side residents have shown their fondness for sushi and other Asian fare, so she’s comfortable opening her new, sophisticated Japanese restaurant in the busy Bethel Road corridor. “A lot of people here know how to eat sushi,” she said. And Wada will put their appetites to the test with her latest venue, Aoi, which opens Aug. 8 at 876-878 Bethel Road. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, the restaurant will offer all-you-can-eat sushi
— maki rolls, nigiri and sashimi — for $29. Aoi, meaning blue in Japanese, is a big-ticket venture that transformed the 5,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Einstein Bros. Bagels and Boston Market, a move that required Wada had to get a rezoning for the property. The interior features two distinctive dining rooms. One is the bar area, with a granite bar that seats 15 and another 100 or so in a casual space that will offer TV sets, eight beers on draft and deejay-spun music seven days a week. The other room is a more formal dining area, with an extended blue granite sushi bar and also seating for 100. Indeed, the immediate area is flush with sushi options, including Akai Hana, Basho, Yoshi’s and Blue Ginger. Wada said the demand is obvious, so she’s not worried about saturation. She will have four sushi chefs so customers can avoid By Chris Parker/ThisWeek long waits.

The restaurant has made use of a leftover drive-through window, but orders must be placed 30 to 60 minutes in advance. Wada and her family are the operators of three successful restaurants: two Genji Japanese steakhouses and San-Su, a Korean barbecue that Wada opened earlier this year on Bethel Road. Wada said they will soon start construction on Genji Go, a takeout restaurant on Brice Road. Aoi will be open lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (614) 824-2664. Speaking of Bethel Road, Buckeye Pho Asian Restaurant is slated to open next month in the Olentangy Plaza. The owner is Max Tat, a Spagio and Molly Woo alumnus and classically trained chef. It will become one of three restaurants on Bethel that specialize in Pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup. The other two are Bamboo Café and Lac Viet. A key difference: Buckeye Pho also will offer a full Chinese menu. The restaurant is just around the corner from the new Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

Central Ohio Islamic Cultural Center stresses transparency By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, took place as the Noor Islamic Cultural Center’s foundation was being poured. Construction of the $6-million, 32,000-square-foot, 401-parking space facility on Wilcox Road was halted, and changes were made to add more windows and rooms for visitors. “We wanted a transparency,” said Khaled Farag, one of the Noor’s founders, who now volunteers at the center. “We wanted people to look in and feel more comfortable, because obviously there were a lot of questions at the time. “From day one, I felt that it was accepted,” Farag said of the facility. “During the building, the neighbors were very protective. We never had any vandalism or any issues. Ever since, we’ve started several programs of interaction with the community. We welcome all kind of tours, and we even have an Islam 101 class held every Saturday.” Islam 101 takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays at the Noor. It teaches the basic beliefs of Islam and its connection to Christianity and Judaism, and features a tour and a question-andanswer session. The course can even be given off-site.
By Chris Parker/ThisWeek
The Noor Islamic Cultural Center is at 5001 Wilcox Road.
“People who take that class understand things why Muslims do and believe certain things,” Farag said. There’s a library full of Qurans and signs that explain Islam, but aside from two domes, the facility doesn’t look like a traditional mosque. Construction began in late 2000, and was completed in 2006. “Earlier in the design phase we looked at different mosques, and every country has a mosque that looks different,” Farag said. “We told them let’s do something American.” The Noor was built so that it faces Mecca for the Muslims who pray there five times a day or attend sermons on Fridays. “Traditionally, when a mosque or prayer space is found, usually
people are sitting cockeyed in some room,” Farag said. “In this case, we actually oriented the entire building towards Mecca. That’s why it’s not perpendicular or parallel to Wilcox.” Muslims pray for five minutes at a time in a large prayer hall, whose carpet has the same rows of lines running through two other separate rooms for people to prostrate themselves. There is another room for people to remove their shoes, and a room for ritual ablutions – washing hands, feet and face — before praying. The men pray on the first floor, the women on the second floor. An audiovisual system allows people on both floors and the basement to see and hear the prayers. The prayers and sermons can draw as many as 600-1,200 Muslims at
a time. Non-Muslims are invited to watch. “We have an open-door policy,” Farag said. “Most of the day, our doors are open – weekends and evenings are extremely busy. Prayers are held here five times a day on time, sunrise to 10 p.m. There’s always traffic coming and going.” Although there are people from 40 ethnicities that attend the Noor, English is the official language used in the facility, except for the prayers, which are in Arabic. Farag said the Noor also holds events such as weekend schools, homeowner’s association meetings, interfaith group meetings, a martial arts class, blood drives, a yard sale, and health and legal clinics. One child was taught how to recite the entire Quran at the Noor, Farag said. “It was built as a community center, not just a religious institution,” Farag said. “The religious component is maybe 30-percent of the building in terms of size and activities. Most of the stuff that goes on here is more of a public service for the community and outside as well.
“Now there is a prayer hall in the middle, and that was taken into account in the design that they divide up the building into smaller units so that different activities can take place simultaneously. When there is a religious function, they can overflow to all the rooms. Most of the times, there’s activities, sometimes conflicting activities. One time we had a funeral and a wedding.” In 2008, then-president of Bangladesh Iajuddin Ahmed visited the Noor for a Friday prayer, with Hilliard mayor Donald Schonhardt and city council member Brett Sciotto in attendance. “I think the facility fits well within the community, and I think they did a nice job in the construction of it,” Schonhardt said recently of the Noor. “I know they try to make it available for the community that surrounds the facility. The neighborhoods have used it on occasion for community-type meetings.” “It’s a beautiful facility, and I know that they have worked hard to make it a community center, a cultural hub,” Sciotto said recently. “They want it to be integrated
into the community. I find them to be very warm and inviting, and anxious to find new uses and opportunities for the facility.” “It’s been a success story,” Farag said. “We have a prestigious neighborhood nearby, and it’s a mixed, diverse community – it’s not just Muslim people living there. It’s exactly as it was intended. We feel it added value to the neighborhood and vice versa. We have excellent neighbors.” This month will be a particularly busy time at the Noor, because it is the month of Ramadan. During Ramadan, Muslims will fast from sunrise to sundown, and there will be extra prayers. “Ramadan is the holiest month,” Farag said. “It’s a month of reenergizing one’s spirit. Every year people anticipate Ramadan to clear their mind and their soul. There’s a different atmosphere in the whole community during that month. People don’t sleep much because they’re praying late. It’s exhaustive, yet it’s very spiritually fulfilling.” For more information, call the Noor at (614) 527-7777 or visit outreach@noorohio.org.

Have You Heard?
Senior Living Center
by Greg VanHorssen
A Vrable Healthcare Company
A CHECK ON YOUR CHILD’S HEARING While parents can usually be counted upon to take their children for regular physicals, dental check-ups, and even eye exams, annual hearing checks are not on everyone’s list of pediatric exams. The fact is, however, that children need regular hearing tests to identify any hearing concerns before they lead to problems. With this in mind, the American Speech-LanguageHearing Association recommends that hearing tests should be performed prior to children starting school. Once children enter kindergarten, they should have annual hearing tests right through third grade. After that, the tests should be repeated when children are in the seventh and eleventh grades. A hearing test should also be prompted by concerns about a child’s language, speech, learning, or hearing capabilities. A child with undetected hearing loss may not be able to develop normal speech and language or acquire the cognitive abilities needed for learning. Children whose hearing loss is not identified until 2 or 3 years of age may suffer from permanent impairment of speech, language, and learning. If you are concerned about your child’s hearing, please call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS today at 614-654-4309. We are located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.
We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!
