The Shops at Worthington Place
Panera, Johnson’s, Swan Cleaners coming By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
‘Reinvention’ begins on Worthington mall
Panera Bread, Johnson’s Real Ice Cream, and Swan Cleaners are the first three new tenants to sign leases for The Shops at Worthington Place. Other businesses in negotiations include an Italian restaurant, a dental clinic, an outdoor gear store, a toy store, a full-service salon, and a bridal salon, according to a master lease plan distributed by Cassidy Turley, leasing partner for the mall. Panera is a popular casual dining restaurant with 19 locations in central Ohio. Johnson’s has been a landmark in Bexley for 60 years. There is also a Johnson’s in New Albany. Swan, which was the first store to sign a lease at the original Worthington Square Shopping Center in the 1970s, will return. Both Johnson’s and Swan will be located in the northern part of Worthington Place, which will no longer be enclosed, according to renovation plans. More tenant announcements can be expected within the next six weeks, mall developers said. Current tenant Talbot’s is expanding, and will have and entrance at the south end of the center. It will be the largest Talbot’s in Ohio.

With a bit of perspiration and a lot of inspiration, the “reinvention” of Worthington’s only mall officially got started on July 28. “We have a vision, we have the expertise to pull this off,” said Bill Morris who, along with Tom Carter, plans to turn the struggling Worthington Square into The Shops at Worthington Place.

A closer look
Will an electronic message sign flash the words “Welcome to Ye Olde Village Green” someday? Probably not. But the time has come to decide if electronic message signs are appropriate any place in the city. The first public discussion took place at the Municipal Planning Commission on July 28. The commission was split on the issue, but agreed to continue discussing a proposed code amendment to permit electronic messages. Such signs are common outside of Worthington. Worthington Kilbourne High School has one, as do high schools in other suburban communities. The signs typically have a space for electronic messages announcing events or, at schools, congratulating student achievements. The proposed Worthington amendment would permit such signs on the five Worthington properties that are 25 acres or larger, which includes Thomas Worthington High School. Other properties of more than 25 acres are the Worthington Community Center, Diamond Innovations, the United Methodist Children’s Home, and the Ohio State

University Medical Center/Harding Hospital site. Representatives of the school, the Architectural Review Board, the McConnell Arts Center (MAC), and the city have been meeting to discuss details of a sign or signs which might be erected in front of the school. The sign would announce MAC events as well as school news. Size, display quality, messaging style and timing, and brightness would be addressed in an ordinance permitting electronic messaging signs. As proposed, electronic messages would be required to be turned off between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. But such a limit would not be enough for neighbors, said MPC member James Sauer. “I would feel sorry for those See ELECTRONIC, page A2
ARB tables signs for Huntington near Village Green By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Designers were sent back to the drawing board July 28 to find more traditional colors and materials and smaller sizes for proposed new signs at the Huntington, 800 High St. Architectural Review Board (ARB) members said they could not accept the bright colors and the larger size of the proposed signs at the bank, which is adjacent to the Village Green. The proposal was tabled.
The brick base of the current sign would be replaced with a dark gray aluminum cabinet with white letters. On the base was shown a 2-foot, 11-inch-high, 10foot-wide sign. The background color is said to be two shades of gray in the bank’s application, but appeared to be purple in slides shown at the July 25 meeting. There would also be a lime-green logo and white letters on the sign face. An awning over a walk-up ATM on the south side of the building was shown as curved with lighting shining through

a green material. The city’s design guidelines call for traditional materials and colors compatible with the age, architecture, and colors of the building. Board member James Sauer said he found the signs to be “overwhelming.” “If the signs were smaller, I might be able to find the colors acceptable,” he said. The same colors but a different size and style were approved for the Huntington Bank at 6851 N. High St. There, the proposed freestanding sign
is 10 feet high and 2 feet, 6 inches wide, with Huntington in white letters vertically on the gray background with lime green logo. Gray paint will also be added to the front gable on the building. The ARB had no objections and unanimously approved the application. Also at the meeting, the ARB tabled a request for a 6-foot tall solid wood fence that would separate the yard of Marilyn Kling, 615 Hartford St., from that of Harvey and Jane Minton, 617 Hartford St. Harvey Minton, Worthington’s mayor,
objected to the fence plans. He wants to preserve the trees growing near the property line and said the fence would be out of character with the style of the Kling home. Kling said she needs the fence for privacy and safety. She said the Mintons have a large German Shepherd that is very territorial and aggressive and frightens her. She also complained about old cars parked in the Minton driveway and trash See SIGNS, page A2

West Wilson Bridge resurfacing begins
Downtown shops will stay open later for First Friday events BY CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers First Friday was such a success, it’s coming back for seconds. This Friday, Aug. 5, shops and restaurants in downtown Worthington will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. Stores and restaurants will offer specials in an attempt to attract the same kind of crowds that turned out for the first First Friday event, held on July 1.
First Friday is sponsored by the Olde Worthington Business Association (OWBA) to give shoppers an opportunity to visit businesses that are usually only open during the day. “Last month, we couldn’t believe the response we got,” said Donnie Austin, president of the OWBA. “Everybody was really happy with it and we are excited about doing it this month.” His business, House Wine, will offer a glass of wine or a pint of craft draft for
$4. Magic Cruises & Tours will give away a three-day pass for two people to Disney World. Peacock Lane will sell floral arrangements for 50-percent off and Little Tree Studios will raffle off a “Day in the Life” photo session. The icing will be available at Blue Frost Cupcake, which will give away two cupcakes with the purchase of four. cbrooks@thisweeknews.com

ELECTRONIC Continued from page A1 who live across the street,” said Sauer. He is also concerned about how the city could limit signs to the high school. “You’re opening a can of worms you can’t control,” Sauer said. Mikel Coulter said he has a problem with electronic messaging signs anywhere in the Architectural Review District. “I can’t buy it under any circumstances at all,” he said. But MPC member Chris Hermann said he sees the appeal of the signs, and Kathy Holcombe said she is all for it, though not on the Village Green or downtown. Review Board member Jo Rodgers said she didn’t want to see Coke flashed across the sign when advertising dollars look enticing to the schools. “There has to be the ability to control content,” she said.
Neighbors in the news
Scott Myers, the city council representative to the MPC/ARB, said the city would have to be careful about the constitutional issues that could arise if commercial speech is limited. But he was more accepting of electronic message signs in general. “This is coming, we had better embrace it,” he said. The MPC/ARB members gathered briefly in the parking lot of the Municipal Building to view a portable electronic message sign. It was larger and brighter than any that might be considered for the high school lawn. A smaller, less garish sign will be set up at the high school before the issue returns for more discussion.
Red Cross recognizes Worthington volunteers American Red Cross of Greater Columbus recently recognized two Worthington residents for their volunteer efforts. Dennis Morgan was recognized for providing 30 years of service. He serves as an emergency services volunteer. Morgan worked on the Hurricane Katrina response in 2006, and volunteered for three weeks at the World Trade Center following Sept. 11. He has been the Red Cross representative for the Ohio Emergency Operations Center for the last 25 years. Joan Bird was recognized for providing 45 years of service. She serves as an emergency services volunteer and is a member of the community awareness team, marching in parades and providing information at health fairs around town. Bird has taught several Red Cross classes and volunteered in response to Sept. 11, as well as several natural disasters.

doors and out; and a new driveway extending through the area between the center and Kroger. The owners said they are trying to create a more intimate community shopping and dining venue populated by national, regional, and local shops and restaurants. Carter, a Worthington resident, and Morris, of Morris-Floyd Capital Partners in Texas, have experience in renovating distressed shopping centers. Carter is president of Real Estate Development Partners and was previously with Steiner + Associates. He developed the Easton Fashion District and developed Watters Creek in Texas. Morris redeveloped LaPalmera in Corpus Christi, and has acquired and redeveloped more
than three million square feet of retail space. Besides the experience, they have plans approved by the city; financing in place; tax deferments through Tax Increment Financing (TIF) approved by the city; and the construction company, architects, and leasing company on board. “It will take us a little time to turn this around, but we are very confident we will do it,” Carter said. Worthington City Council president Lou Goorey welcomed the developers, recalling the “tortuous journey” the city experienced with former mall owners in recent years. Goorey said he has been in Worthington long enough to remember when the mall property was an empty field. “I’m glad it didn’t have to go back to that,” he said.

Central Ohio Islamic Cultural center stresses transparency By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, occurred as the Noor Islamic Cultural Center’s foundation was being poured. Construction of the $6million, 32,000-square-foot, 401parking 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. “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. The facility was designed by Meacham and Apel Architects, Dublin. “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 anoth-

er 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 people from 40 ethnicities 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. In addition, the Franklin County Board of Elections uses it as a polling station. “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 (Aug. 1-29, according to islam.about.com). During Ramadan, Muslims will fast from sunrise to sundown, and there will be extra prayers in the center. “Ramadan is the holiest month,” Farag said. “It’s a month of re-energizing 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 exhausting, yet it’s very spiritually fulfilling.” For more information, call the Noor at (614) 527-7777 or visit outreach@noorohio.org. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen 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.

Early ‘lady journalist’ was a newsroom-savvy editor 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. The brothers went to jail, but the
incident reminded people just how seriously newspaper people took their jobs. Into the midst of all of this came Elise Fitch Hinman. Born in 1863, Elise Hinman was almost 35 in 1898. Educated, literate and frankly a bit bored, she came from an old Columbus family and was looking for something to do. In 1898, she found it. Writing in 1911, she remembered her early career. Courtesy of Columbus Metropolitan Library “In the autumn of Elise Fitch Hinman circa 1911 1898, it became evident that a woman editor was needed on the staff of manuscript for publication. “Never have I forgotten the the Ohio State Journal, and the constant injunction, ‘Be brief, writer was invited to take that be brief, and evermore be brief.’ responsible position, with duties of the most varied description And my natural feminine tenincluding many which have since dency to carefully conceal the been specialized into separate meaning under many words has been effectively curbed. departments. “As the only woman in the ofHaving the usual feminine distaste for monotony, I had no com- fice, I learned to sharpen my own plaint to make of assignments pencils, to suppress sarcasm, to which covered art exhibitions, cultivate humor, to dress with concerts, lectures…and all or- neatness and severity, to omit ganizations for the women, of slang from my vocabulary and the women, by the women, for not to mind tobacco smoke. “Thus may one command the the women. “The Federation of Women’s trust and confidence of one’s felClubs moved upon Ohio just low-workers of the sterner sex.” Elise Fitch Hinman in her time then, and a skillful and never tirwas one of the best known ing promoter of that body lived in Columbus, who cajoled, co- women in Columbus.

Storytimes ease first-day jitters The first day of preschool or kindergarten can be heartbreaking as well as ear-splitting for parents. As they drop off their children for the first time, kids’ reactions can vary from tears to tantrums. But there are ways to reduce the feelings of abandonment and anxiety that create first-day stress. GreatSchools.org, a leading source of information on school performance, recommends parents start by attending school orientation meetings or, if orientation meetings are not planned, talking to their child’s teacher before school starts. Buying supplies and touring the school together, before the first day, can also alleviate fears. Reading books about the first day of school will not only give your child an idea of what to expect, it may also start conversations about how your child is really feeling about that first day. Once the conversation starts, talk to your child enthusiastically about school, without overdoing or forcing it, and acknowledge his or her concerns while explaining that the teacher is there to help. If your child attended preschool, you can compare it to kindergarten. If your child has no school experience, let him or her practice being away from you at a playdate or with another adult in your family. Start slowly, with an outing that lasts only an hour,
garteners scheduled this Wednesday (Aug. 10) and another for preschoolers on Aug. 17. Both will start at 7 p.m. All will feature dancing, clapping, hands-on activities and, of course, books. Titles about looking forward to each day’s new school adventure, like “Jake Starts School” by Michael Wright and “Dinosaur Starts School” by Pamela Duncan Edwards, and those with seriously silly topics, like “You Can’t Go to School Naked!” will be available to check out. Listen to and learn about more great books for your soon-to-be schoolchildren at the First Day Jitters storytimes.

Worthington Libraries staff wants to make the start of your child’s school career a fun experience and, for the past several years, have planned storytimes designed to ease first-day jitters and get kids excited about all the friends they’ll make and the new things they’ll learn.

Workshops can 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 be held 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 ses-
sion 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 houses getting the attention they need and being preserved be-
cause they are well worth the effort. “I think fundamentally what we know about homes, particularly those that are 50 years or older, they come with great bones in terms of what they were originally constructed with and the craftsmanship that went into them,” Kane said. The workshops encourage participants, whether tackling repair and restoration projects themselves or hiring someone, to bring that same attention to craftsmanship, rather than just doing something cosmetic, she added. The presentations include pointers on finding the right contractor. “It’s about getting multiple opinions and bids, and it’s about understanding what you want to have done … that’s in the best interest of your pocketbook and your house,” Kane said. Space is limited for the Aug. 13 workshops and early registration is encouraged. For more information or to register, call 221-4508 or visit www.columbuslandmarks.org.

Lacrosse
McCarthy to spread word of sport, life By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
At the beginning of every season, Thomas Worthington High School girls lacrosse coach Ally McCarthy assembles the ingredients to put together her team, combining returnees with players who are making the transition from junior varsity and middle school teams. McCarthy faces a different challenge when she travels to Managua, Nicaragua, from Aug. 14-20 with Lacrosse the Nations. Joined by 2011 Thomas graduate
Amber McAlpine and many other volunteers, she will be teaching the game to students of the School of Hope in La Chureca. “From what I understand, they’re very raw at the game of lacrosse,” McCarthy said. “We want to teach them the basics and give them the opportunity to turn the lessons of playing a team sport into life lessons.” The School of Hope is the pilot program for Lacrosse the Nations, an organization co-founded by Brett Hughes, a 2000 Upper Arlington graduate who
was an All-American at the University of Virginia, and Brad Corrigan. The organization’s aim is to increase the educational opportunities for youth in economically-depressed areas. A 2009 study conducted by the Government of Spain revealed that 874 people live in the community of La Chureca, which was built on top of Managua’s garbage dump. According to the study, 450 of those residents are under the age of 18. According to lacrossethenations.org, approximately 90 percent of Nicaragua’s
children in kindergarten through sixth grade are enrolled in schools, but only 77 percent of the boys and 84 percent of the girls attend. The enrollment figures drop sharply among secondary schoolaged children, as only 35 percent of the boys and 47 percent of the girls attend school on a regular basis. Lacrossethenations.org states education is the key to alleviating the community’s poverty. Lacrosse the Nations offers a breakfast and afternoon snack to children who attend the program, giving parents an incentive to send their
children to school. McCarthy, who teaches English as a second language at Bluffsview Elementary School, became interested in doing a project in a foreign country after the school’s students began collecting items for a team of nurses headed to Honduras. She learned about Lacrosse the Nations through former Worthington Kilbourne boys lacrosse coach Mike Riffee and contacted Greg Bice, one of the organization’s leaders, about volunteering.

Football
Stier named Warriors coach By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Brian Stier has been selected as the first coach of the Worthington Christian High School football program, according to athletics director Kevin Weakley. Stier has been the head coach of the Columbus Crusaders club team the last two seasons and has been on the Crusaders’ coaching staff for the last several years, Weakley said. Worthington Christian is planning to have a middle school team in 2012, a junior varsity team in 2013 and a varsity team for the first time in 2014. Stier is expected to coach the Crusaders this fall and begin working with the Warriors’new program after the 2011 season. “He’s been a part of Worthington Christian for 10 years and has coached middle school basketball here,” Weakley said. “The Columbus Crusaders have been known for disciplining kids in Christ and we believe he’ll been able to communicate effectively how to integrate Christ into Worthington Christian. He’s been around the game a long time and has a strong coaching pedigree.” The Crusaders will continue to be open to public, private and home-schooled students from grades five through 12 throughout the Columbus area. The Crusaders traditionally have fielded rosters with as many as 80 athletes, including some who have been students at Worthington Christian. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Baseball
Post 239 looks to raise goal next year By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Worthington American Legion Post 239 baseball team will look to extend its goal next season when it seeks a third consecutive District 12 championship. Worthington went 2-2 in the double-elimination state tournament, which began July 25 and concluded July 29 at OU-Lancaster’s Beavers Field, for the second year in a row. Post 239, which won state titles in 1975, 1981 and 1993, finished 27-11 overall after going 30-6 last season. “Our goal every year has been to reach state, so maybe it’s time to raise the bar of expectations a little,” coach Jim Townsend said. “I guess 2-2 put us in the top eight (in the 12-team tournament) and our two losses were to the runners-up (Pickerington Post 283) See BASEBALL, page B2

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), 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 medley (1:13.65) and teamed with Ally Braun, Kristen Puthoff and Marissa Sulek to win the 200 free relay (2:06.28). All four times were team records. Others winners for Delaware in the senior division were Regan Dewitt in the 50 back (32.45) and Dewitt, Kara Miller, Allyson Fomich and Samantha Curtin in the 200 medley relay (2:12.44) and 200 free relay (1:56.62) in girls 13-14, Remy Curtin in the 50 breaststroke (41.04) and Curtin, Craig Klumpp, Mitchell Garnett and Connor Derstine in the 200
medley relay (2:37.24) in boys 11-12, Brittany Puthoff in the 100 breast (1:16.77) in girls 15-18 and Colby Brothers, Skyler Pollock, Keanan Fomich and Andrew Davis in the 200 medley relay (2:10.58) and 200 free relay (1:50.69) in boys 13-14. “It’s a tribute to the kids. 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 2:05.86), Rabold in the 100 free (1:00.65) and 100 back (1:06.64) and Abby Chin in the 100 butterfly (1:05.26) and 100 individual medley (1:07.42) for the girls. “(Setting meet records in 200 free and 200 medley relays) was a good way for us seniors to go out,” Abby Chin said. “We have that one last good memory of competing with each other.” Other winners for Northwest in the senior division were Thomas Trace in the 50 back (28.96), 50 free (26.01) and 100 IM (1:05.09) in boys 13-14, Cristina Chiocca in the 50 fly (32.93) in girls 11-12, the 200 medley relay of Chiocca, Justine Kenny, Caroline Hess and Julie Trace (2:22.13) in girls 11-12, Gracie Long in the 100 IM (1:10.52) and 50 free (28.47) in girls 13-14 and Caroline Hess in the 50 breast

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.”
“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-
BASEBALL Continued from page B1 and to the fourth-place team (Utica Post 92). But I was expecting better.” The problem was the blind draw, as Post 239 matched up with Pickerington, which had a first-round bye, in its second contest. The game was tied at 2 in the fifth inning on July 25 when rain suspended play for two-anda-half hours at Lancaster High School. Pickerington scored four runs in the seventh and two in the ninth for a 9-2 win that sent Worthington into the losers’ bracket. That’s when pitching depth becomes key. “Going into the losers’ bracket at state really stretches your pitching and makes you make decisions that you haven’t had to make all season,” Townsend said. “It’s what everyone in the losers’ bracket deals with.” Post 239 won its opener 10-9
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 over Coshocton Post 65 on July 25 as Dan Eurich hit a one-out, two-run homer to right field that bounced off the top of the fence to cap a five-run ninth at Beavers Field. Trailing 7-0 after seven innings, Worthington scored five runs in the eighth before Coshocton made it 9-5 in the top of the ninth. Cody Strayer started and threw more than 140 pitches before being relieved by Sean Hoy in the eighth. Alio Gasbarro started on the mound against Pickerington and returned after the rain delay. He threw 108 pitches in seven innings before giving way to Andy Bean. Blake Adkins threw more than 140 pitches in a complete-game effort as Worthington beat Beverly/Lowell Posts 389/750 10-2 on July 26. He scattered six hits and was aided by a 14-hit attack, including a single, double and home run by Sam Adams, who finished with three RBI. Eurich
also homered and Will Meador and David Lykens both had two hits. Worthington was eliminated with a 15-3 loss to Utica later in the day July 26 at Fisher Catholic High School. “It was our fourth game in two days, and we were short a few pitchers on our roster,” Townsend said. “They also played for travel teams and got more time on the mound there. They didn’t think they’d pitch much for us at state and decided not to join us, so we started Lykens and we knew he needed to go seven to nine innings for us, which is a tough assignment for our fourth or fifth starter who hasn’t done that for us all season. He wasn’t prepared to go that long, but he battled and did his best against a very good hitting team.” Lykens wore down as the game went on and Post 239 struggled to support him on offense or de-

fense. “We needed to string more hits and runs together to have a chance,” Townsend said. “Everything wore on us and when we fell behind, we ended up not making plays we’ve made all season, so Utica tacked on about five or six runs that we pretty much gave them.” Townsend said those who are ineligible to return are Adams (DH/LF), Bean (OF/P), Sam Bohon (P/OF), Gasbarro (P/3B) and Lykens (1B/P). Also on the roster were Adkins (P/1B), Kirby Boehm (C/1B), Eurich (CF/P), Collin Finn (C/3B), Brian Hanks (SS), Hoy (P/1B), Nick Kernan (OF), Wes Lindenmuth (P), Meador (3B/2B), Ben Miller (P/INF), Brandon Randolph (C/OF), Strayer (P/3B) and Matthew Zuccaro (2B/P).

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-
the best of both worlds. I get to use the Spanish I learned in Ecuador and my knowledge of lacrosse.” Although McAlpine and McCarthy are the only Cardinals heading to Nicaragua, McCarthy said the trip has been a team effort by the area’s lacrosse community. The Thomas and Kilbourne girls teams turned their annual ri-
valry into a “Scoop for Loot” contest, as members of both teams sought pledges for each ground ball they recovered during the Cardinals’14-13 win on April 12, with the proceeds being donated to Lacrosse the Nations. The Cardinals and Wolves also asked participating teams in the Hannigan-Galipault tournament on April 16 to donate used lacrosse sticks to Lacrosse the Nations.

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. Most of the time freak injuries are a total accident where there’s no rhyme

In the boys 7-8 age group, Elsrod placed first in the 25 back (21.36), 25 fly (19.56) and 25 breast (22.91) and teamed with Dylan Fisher, Zach Ward and Ryan Smudz to win the 100 free relay (1:17.34) and 100 medley relay (1:27).

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.”
“I’m excited to see what (Lacrosse the Nations) does firsthand,” McCarthy said. “It all goes back to what my coach (the late John Galipault Sr.) said: ‘If you get something out of lacrosse, you should give something back.’ This is the best example of doing that on an international level.”

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.

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. I loved its hefty hunks of white-fleshed and salmon-like fish, fresh fennel fronds, tender

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 bill Yun Hui “Yumi” Wada is opening Aoi, a Japanese restauof fare also will inrant with a focus on sushi, at 876-878 Bethel Road. clude tempura,
teriyaki, katsu and noodle dishes, all competitively priced, she said. However, hibachi will not be offered. 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.
Belle’s Bread will replace Crescent Bakery in the Kenny Center. Takashi Takenaka, who www.ThisWeekNews.com/foodandwine also owns Akai Hana and Tensuke Market in the center, said Etiquette expert Nora Cline his new Japanese café is slated to open in October. He’s puts the debate to rest: It is not also expanded the storefront OK to text at the dinner table. to 4,500 square feet.

Marlin & Ray’s is a dinneronly casual restaurant with a host of seafood specialties, pasta, sandwiches and such. Most entrée prices are in the $12 to $17 range.
