CAC secretary demands accurate boundary map

Husband, wife have art-to-art talks

By KEVIN PARKS The map that’s long been used to show the boundaries of the Clintonville Area Commission’s districts is inaccurate and does not reflect the official descriptions in the bylaws, secretary Jennifer Kangas announced at last week’s monthly Jennifer Kangas meeting.

She said that the borders of District 9, which is represented by D Searcy, and District 6, which Kangas represents, are the most problematic.

For example, the bylaws state that one of the boundaries for District 9 is the Sharon Township line, but the map, which is on the CAC’s website and has frequently been used by local newspapers, shows that borderline as being Graceland Boulevard, Kangas said.

In other instances, the commission secretary added during her monthly report, the bylaws outline boundaries as the centerline of a given street, with residents on one side belonging in one district and those on the other in a different one.

That’s not reflected on the map, according to Kangas.

“The map is out of date,” she said.

“It’s inaccurate and needs to be replaced. It needs to be gotten rid of.”

District 2 representative Sarah Snyder, who updated and maintains the advisory panel’s website, asked if the map couldn’t be corrected rather Sarah Snyder than jettisoned.

It might be possible, Kangas conceded, for someone to use the boundary descriptions in the bylaws to create a map that accurately reflects the borders.

Mike McLaughlin of District 1 recalled that a much better map than the one on the website was created for a previous election.

Clintonville artists Deb and Tom Baillieul use their marriage to help each other in their respective mediums; Tom specializes in acrylic painting while Deb focuses mainly on fibers and has recently started working with watercolors.

At the November meeting of the Clintonville Arts Guild, longtime members Deb and Tom Baillieul asked those present who had been the most influential in getting them going in art, or starting back up or switching to a different medium.

“Almost unanimously,” Tom Baillieul said last week, “it was someone really close. It was some immediate family member who was doing art.”

That was certainly true for the husband-and-wife team posing the question. Art has been ever-present in their lives and both credited their mothers with that.

“Always, always,” Deb Baillieul said. “I was always the little kid who made Christmas ornaments with all the sparkles.”

“Art has always been in the background,” her husband said.

In Tom Baillieul’s case, his mother was a first-grade art teacher in Springfield, Mass., who frequently took her son to the “outstanding art museum” there and to others in the vicinity.

Deb Baillieul, who grew up in Medway, Mass., outside Boston, said that her mother was a professional floral designer who didn’t consider what she did to be artistic, even though it most assuredly was. The house of her girlhood was filled with art books, Deb Baillieul recalled, and her grandmother on Cape Cod crafted pottery. Deb Baillieul’s mother frequently took her to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Neither of the two, who met while they were students at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, made a career as an artist. Tom Baillieul is a retired geologist while Deb See ART-TO-ART, page A2

Recycling

CURB now accepting some plastic food containers

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Most people don’t regard containers of yogurt or cottage cheese, or their lids, as items that can be recycled.

Oh, yes, they can, Shirley Cotter hastens to say, with the fervor she hastens to say pretty much anything.

Cotter was and is the driving force behind Clean-Up and Recycling Backers, a nonprofit conservation effort she and several friends founded back in 1984.

If Mayor Michael B. Coleman’s ambition of establishing a citywide curb-

side recycling program by 2012, the city’s 200th birthday, is to be realized, Cotter feels it is vitally important that citizens be better informed on the subject.

“We’re really pushing toward educating the people,” she said last week.

“We don’t want to see trash taking up space in recycling bins.”

By the same token, Cotter said that she and volunteers for Clean-Up and Recycling Backers, or CURB, want to do all they can to keep things that should be in recycling bins from winding up at the landfill.

This is where the No. 5 polypropylene plastic containers for yogurt and other food items come in. CURB volunteers are now accepting such items on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon at the Indianola Plaza. People can check food containers for the triangular recycling symbol to see if it reads “No. 5 PP,” according to Cotter.

The nice thing is that CURB has found a place that will also accept the lids of these containers.

“Currently right now they mostly don’t want the plastic lids,” Cotter said.

CURB volunteers take the No. 5 PP

containers to a company that is creating funnels from them, according to the cofounder of the organization.

“At least it keeps them out of the landfills,” she said.

Cotter hastened to point out that No. 5 PP containers are only being recycled through CURB and should not be placed with regular recycling materials by those currently subscribing.

CURB is also trying to extend the life of central Ohio’s landfill by continuing to accept polystyrene packing materiSee CURB RECYCLING, page A2

Letter condemning graffiti taggers stirs controversy

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The subject of graffiti created a minor controversy at the January meeting of the Clintonville Area Commission.

It’s not like anyone came out in favor of “tagging,” but rather that virtually anything can become a source of contretemps for commission members.

In this case, it was a letter chairman John DeFourny passed out to the other members back in November that urges the judge of Franklin County Environmental Court to mete out the severest penalty possible to repeat offenders.

The letter originated with the University Area Commission’s Ian McConnell with the intention of bringing even stronger en-

forcement to bear upon graffiti vandals, according to DeFourny.

Having heard nothing back from any of the commissioner, DeFourny said last week that he was assuming the letter was OK. Not so fast, said Mike Folmar of District 4.

Folmar said that he’s not sure the area commission should be taking a stand on the guilt or innocence of an individual accused of a crime, nor weighing in on the proper punishment. He pointed out that area commissions have no standing with the court.

“You never sent me any e-mail with any concerns,” DeFourny said.

“That’s right, I didn’t,” Folmar replied.

District 7’s Dave Southan, chairman of the safety committee, wasn’t happy with Folmar’s

stance. Such a letter, according to Southan, is justified for taggers such as Seth M. King, who Dave Southan pleaded guilty last week to three misdemeanors relating this planting his “SEED” tag in many Columbus neighborhoods.

King, 19, who faces sentencing by Judge Harland H. Hale on Feb. 15, has done $10,000plus in damage in Clintonville alone, Southan said.

James R. Blazer II, the James Blazer II District 3 rep-

Committee makeup hashed out Continued from page A1 mission members on one of the committees would make meetings of that panel also meetings of the full CAC, requiring public notification above and beyond the requirements for sessions of standing committees.

“They advised against moving forward with that proposal,” DeFourny said.

Searcy pointed out that meetings of planning and development are already publicly announced.

That doesn’t meet the notification requirements for a full CAC session, the chairman replied.

James R. Blazer II of District 3 voiced his opposition to the bylaw revision because it would create another commission meeting and potentially slow the process of getting issues through planning and development.

He did say that he saw no objection to allowing the commissioner in whose district a development matter is located to serve as a voting committee member for that specific issue.

That’s the procedure being followed with the zoning and variance panel, according to DeFourny.

Quoting from “Robert’s Rules of Order,” CAC secretary Jennifer Kangas said that the commissioner may serve as an ex officio member of committees, but is not obligated to do so. She added that the purpose of committees is to handle detail work and then report back to the full body.

“It just seems to add the responsibility of another Clintonville Area Commission meeting,” DeFourny said, and offered to forward the city attorney’s opinion to his colleagues.

District 1’s Mike McLaughlin suggested it might be a good idea to invite the city attorney to a meeting to go into more detail on the subject. For example, he said, would a public notice be required if all nine members of the area commission happened to be in the same glee club.

“You know that’s different,” DeFourny said.

“I don’t know that that’s different,” McLaughlin answered.

The concept of an architectural review board is something Cipiti has been toying with for nearly a year. At last week’s meeting, he said he wanted to “take the pulse” of the other members to see if it’s worth exploring the idea further.

In response to a question from Searcy, Cipiti said that what’s being contemplated would involve only commercial structures. Including residential would “open up a can of worms,” Cipiti said, while a commercial review procedure might enable the commission to “hold developers’ feet to the fire.”

Searcy went on to suggest it might be worthwhile to see how other area commissions around the city handle matters of architectural review.

“Rather than us going out and trying to reinvent the wheel,” she said.

“I don’t think we’re set in stone as far as what direction we’re taking,” Cipiti said.

Any direction would be the wrong one, in DeFourny’s opinion. He said Clintonville has very diversified commercial areas, and that it was up to each commissioner to speak up about proposed structures in his or her district.

“That’s what our job is,” the chairman said. “I don’t think we need an architectural review.

“We’ve got it now. It’s there.”

Folmar pointed out that some members of the commission are more forceful than others in making demands on developers.

“That’s what we’ve already got,” DeFourny said.

“I’m generally in favor of looking into this,” Blazer said, adding that he understood some of DeFourny’s worries.

“I don’t think we have enough information right now,” said Sarah Snyder of District 2.

The planning and development representatives were eventually advised to further explore architectural review.

CURB RECYCLING Continued from page A1 als, which are often generically, but incorrectly, referred to as Styrofoam. Cotter said that only foam used in packing, not fast-food containers, can be accepted.

“It can’t be contaminated,” she said.

This material is taken to Phoenix Recycling on Hamilton Road where it is subjected to extreme pressure and turned into building materials, Cotter said.

District 9’s Searcy brought up what she feels is some confusing wording in the bylaws relating to district boundaries.

She suggested a possible change might be needed to the bylaws in order to make the language clearer.

“I would be willing to tackle that,” Searcy said.

The most important thing, Kangas insisted, was to have the current map pulled from the website.

Chairman John DeFourny said that didn’t require a motion and vote, but instead asked Snyder to make the requested removal.

“OK,” Snyder said. kparks@ thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

resentative, pointed out that King entered a guilty plea.

The letter, DeFourny said, was intended to express the commission’s position against graffiti.

Perhaps such a letter would be better if it left off the name of any accused person, Sarah Snyder of District 2 suggested.

District 9 member D Searcy said that while King’s actions have been “beyond the pale,” she doesn’t like the idea of a letter being on file that doesn’t take into account individual circumstances.

It’s intended to condemn those with multiple violations, chairman DeFourny responded.

Still, Searcy insisted the commission should only take a stance on a case-by-case basis.

DeFourny said that he would circulate the letter once again, and this time he asked those with concerns to get back to him. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Fair for Clintonville schools set for Jan. 18 The sixth annual Clintonville Elementary and Middle School Fair will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 18.

Clintonville Area Commission member Mike McLaughlin, the panel’s representative on the education committee, made the announcement at last week’s meeting.

“Parents whose children will be entering elementary or middle school are encouraged to attend,” according to education committee chairwoman Susan Gaunce.

The event will be held in the North Broadway United Methodist Church, 48 E. North Broadway, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. It is sponsored by the CAC education committee and the North Broadway Children’s Center.

Participating schools include Calumet and Xenos Christian Schools, Clinton Elementary, Clintonville Academy, Colerain Elementary, Columbus Spanish Immersion Academy K-8, Ecole Kenwood French Immersion K-8, Fifth Avenue International School K-8, Immaculate Conception School, Indian Springs Elementary, Indianola Informal K-8, Our Lady of Peace School, Ridgeview Middle School and the

Wellington School.

The schools will have booths open for viewing from 6:30 to 7, according to a flyer about the fair. Brief presentations from representatives of each school will take place during the next hour, and then the booths reopen from 8 to 8:30.

“For many parents, the decision on where to send their child causes a lot of consternation and angst because they want to make the best decision for their families,” Gaunce said in a prepared statement. “The education fair provides parents who are deciding on a school for their child, an opportunity to make a more informed decision about the excellent educational choices in our area.”

She went on to say that while many of the schools at the fair are located in the Clintonville neighborhood, other alternative schools in the Columbus City Schools district will also attend.

The CCS School Choice lottery for elementary and middle schools runs from Feb. 1-28, according to Gaunce.

State and High streets: A picture from the past The past can tell us its story in a lot of ways — with diaries, letters and descriptions by people of the events that make up their lives. We can also learn a lot about a city by looking at pictures from time to time, especially if the picture is clear and crisp and full of detail.

And this picture is just that.

It was taken about 100 years ago. A photographer ED placed his camera about LENTZ a third of the way into the intersection of State and High streets in Columbus and aimed it to the south along High Street.

The photographer has been careful to take a picture without too many people, whose rapid movement might only show up as an occasional blur in the image.

The photographer wants as much precise detail as possible because this picture, like many others, will later be made into a postcard.

But in the making of the postcard image — even with a lot of color added — some of the original detail of the photograph is lost. In the original photograph, much of what made downtown Columbus a special place in the early 1900s can be seen once again.

Columbus in the early 1900s was known as the Arch City. It is easy to see why. Straddling High Street every half-block or so is a series of metal arches illuminated by electric lights and topped with American flags. Each of the lights is a clear incandescent light bulb, just like the ones many of us still use at home. And each of them needed to be changed when they burned out, which in those days was rather frequently.

Nevertheless, the arches were popular and had been for some time. The arches had originally been erected in 1888 when more than 250,000 people came to Columbus for the 22nd annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Ohio’s rather modest capital city had never seen anything quite like the tent city the veterans built during their more than weeklong stay. The arches were originally designed to be temporary and keep the streets lit during the convention to deter crime.

However, they proved to be quite popular. Eventually, the wooden arches, lit by gas, were replaced by the metal arches lit by electricity that we see in this picture. The arches also provided electric power to the streetcars that traveled along the brick streets of Columbus.

Columbus had grown a lot since the veterans came to town in 1888. The opening of the Hocking Valley’s coal, lumber and iron resources after the Civil War led to the rise of several major industries in a city that had once been mostly a commercial and governmental center. By 1910,

What A Movie! with Buzz Fitzgerald

ThisWeek’s MOVIE OF THE WEEK IS Courtesy of Library of Congress

Looking south on High Street from State Street, circa 1911.

Columbus was a city of more than 180,000 people and, among other things, was the “Buggy Capital of the World.”

We are looking at the commercial heart of this growing city.

But it is also a place where many people still live. Columbus, like most cities, has a few skyscrapers. But most of the commercial buildings in the city are still four and five stories tall. Built in an era before elevators, they reflect the simple fact that most people will not walk up more than a few flights of stairs to their homes or places of business. Many of these buildings have metal fire escapes attached to their fronts and sides.

While the buildings look substantial, most of their interiors are made of wood and the threat of fire is still quite real in a city where gas lights are as common as electric bulbs.

Along the sidewalk to the right can be seen what appear to be a number of large stone blocks along the curb. These are steps to provide more easy access to one’s carriage. While automobiles are becoming a more common sight, many people still rely on horsedrawn carriages as well as the streetcar system to make their way around town.

The shops and stores along High Street provide the widest variety of goods and services to the people who live and work nearby. Most of these merchants have placed large signs on their stores and projecting from them advertising their services. They range from Murnan’s taxi serv-

ice and “sports parlor” on the left to the more elegant Goodman Jewelers on the right. In the distance on the right, at the corner of Town and High streets, can be seen the distinctive tower of the F. & R. Lazarus department store.

There are other distinctive elements of this city of a century ago. Watches were a luxury many people could not afford; the timepieces were worn only on special occasions. To help keep track of the time, large clocks like the one at the right of the picture stood at many major intersections. To meet the need for information, some of the city’s several newspapers were sold by newsboys (and occasionally newsgirls) like the ones we see to the left of the picture.

Most of the people we see in the picture seem reasonably welldressed in suits and ties for the men and fashionable dresses for the ladies. By the standards of our time, they are indeed welldressed and — in mostly wool clothing — probably a bit uncomfortable. But by the standards of their day, this was just the common attire of day-to-day life.

This was a world that had changed a lot during the lives of the people we see here. But for the most part, these people were accustomed to change and had learned to live with it. And perhaps that is just as well, since a lot more change was not all that far away.

Detroit pastor to speak at breakfast honoring King Several Columbus events scheduled to commemorate birthday of civil-rights leader

By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Rev. James C. Perkins will deliver the keynote address at the 26th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast, slated for 7:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 17, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, 400 N. High St. Perkins, pastor of the Greater Christ Baptist Church in Detroit, describes his speech as “positive and uplifting,” but also challenging to the audience.

“The reason we need to continue to celebrate his life and legacy is because it brings us back to face the fact that, as a nation, we are not where we need to be and should be,” Perkins said.

Doors open at 7 a.m. Tickets are $35 and must be purchased in advance by calling (614) 252-0868. The event will adjourn at 10 a.m.

The theme of Perkins’ speech is “Keep on Dreaming,” which is drawn from the Bible’s account of Joseph and

his brothers in Genesis 37:5: “Joseph dreamed a dream and he told it to his brethren, and they hated him yet the more.”

“The point is that, Rev. James C. for whatever the reaPerkins son, dreamers build an atmosphere of hate,” Perkins said.

Perkins, 59, graduated from high school in 1968 and went to college four months after King was assassinated.

He said he always planned to go into the ministry but felt motivated by King’s words and actions.

“It did inspire me,” Perkins said. “I felt a sense of responsibility to try and challenge others to perpetuate the dreams that he talked about.”

Perkins will be preceded by several other speakers, including Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman.

“Dr. King said, ‘Everybody can be

ART-TO-ART TALKS Continued from page A1 Baillieul is in her 24th year as a preschool teacher at Unitarian Universalist Church’s School for Young Children.

Nevertheless, they both proudly proclaim themselves to be artists and call their own online gallery Earth Friend Arts.

Tom Baillieul, who is a multimedia artist, will be giving a presentation on Thursday, Feb. 10, noon in the Cultural Arts Center, 139 W. Main St., as part of the “Conversations and Coffee” program.

Deb and Tom Baillieul have previously given a joint presentation in the ongoing program to discuss what it’s like being an artist who is married to an artist.

Deb Baillieul is a fiber artist.

Visual artists today, the Baillieuls met through the music program at college. Tom was in the marching and symphonic bands while Deb played in the concert band.

They “had the same friends, the same social circle,” Tom Baillieul said.

But they went their separate ways upon graduating in 1971, Tom to Botswana for the Peace Corps and Deb to the “horrors” of New York City to find a job with her degree in textiles and clothing. The Big Apple did not show its kindest face to the young college graduate, what with burglaries, theft of clothing from a washing machine and onetime Black Panther Party justice minister H. Rap Brown getting shot in front of her apartment building.

The future Deb Baillieul wrote a letter to Tom and then joined him in Botswana, where he had taken up painting.

“It just seemed to be the thing to do on the weekend,” Tom Baillieul said. Deb Baillieul took up knitting and sewing while they were in Africa.

They were married in Botswana in 1972, and have been back to visit on a few occasions.

They came back to this country, initially to Pittsburgh and eventually to Columbus. Deb Baillieul took up weaving in 1978 while pregnant with one of their Updated daily, ThisWeekNews.com is your source for local breaking news and sports information.

children. She later began making free-form quilts for the children and from there moved on to making art quilts.

Her husband, meanwhile, eventually made a transition from oils to acrylics for his paintings.

Both said they see their day jobs, so to speak, as complementing their artistic endeavors.

“For me, playing with materials promotes creativity,” Deb Baillieul said of being a preschools teacher. “It’s about playing.”

“I’ve always looked at art and science as two sides of the same coin,” Tom Baillieul said. “It’s all exploration.”

“He’s been very, very supportive, and that’s been one of the things that’s brought me along,” Deb Baillieul said. “A lot of our artistic growth has really come from one another.

“We work very differently,” she added. “He works from a plan in his mind. I work from inspiration.”

Being in the Clintonville Arts Guild, which raises money to provide scholarships for local students interested in the arts, is one way the Baillieuls said they try to give back an aspect of life that has meant so much to them.

“I think the idea of mentoring or simply being out there as a model is one of the obligations an artist has,” Tom Baillieul said.

“Bringing young artists along is vital, to them and to society as a whole,” his wife added. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

great because anybody can serve.’ To keep Dr. King’s dream alive, we must rise to meet the needs of our community,” Coleman said in a prepared statement. “We remember how Dr. King inspired people to give what they could of their time and talent. He provided opportunities for them to learn and grow.

And as a result, they were able to change our world.”

The breakfast is part of a daylong

tribute to King. Residents are invited to gather at City Hall in preparation of the “Celebrate the Legacy” march, which will begin at 4:45 p.m.

“We are reaching out to the youth to bring banners representing their school along with a message of nonviolence or quote of Dr. King,” said Napoleon Bell, executive director of the Columbus Community Relations Commission. “We are also asking businesses, social groups, community groups and people of all cultures to come out to the march supporting Dr. King’s message advocat-ing human and civil rights.”

The march will end at Veterans Memorial, 300 W. Broad St., where a free theatrical program will begin at 6 p.m. The program will feature performances from BalletMet Columbus, actors from different studios and a 150member children’s choir.

The theatrical portion of the show will center on the connection between

Commentary

Buckeye football put area on hold Monday is Martin Luther King Day, but for many central Ohio high school teams, it is just another day at the office.

For example, the Pickerington Central girls basketball team will play host to the 14th annual Prep Shootout with 12 varsity and junior varsity teams participating, and several area PAUL hockey teams BATTERSON will be competing in tournaments around the state.

During the winter, there are only a few dates on which area high schools try to avoid scheduling any athletic events: Dec. 24, Dec. 25, Dec. 31, Jan. 1 and whatever day the Ohio State football team plays its bowl game.

When it was announced Ohio State would play Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4, area high schools scrambled to move athletic events to Jan. 3 or Jan. 5 or to earlier in the day on Jan. 4 to avoid conflict with the 8:30 p.m. kickoff.

“It’s a little bit weird I suppose, but this is a Buckeye town,” said Worthington Kilbourne girls basketball coach Steve Palmer, whose team moved its game with Central Crossing from Jan. 4 to Jan. 3. “There are no professional sports in this town ... except for the Blue Jackets. Ohio State football is numero uno.”

Kilbourne was one of 60 girls and boys basketball teams in the area that moved games from Jan. 4 to Jan. 3. In addition, 26 boys and 32 girls basketball games, including all City League contests, were moved up to 6:30 p.m. or earlier on Jan. 4 so that fans could get home to watch the Buckeyes.

For most area high schools, the move was the result of a purely economical equation: Ohio State + bowl game = empty seats.

“Tuesday games usually have a low gate, but if we would have played (at the same time as the Sugar Bowl), it wouldn’t have been good,” said Olentangy Liberty athletics director Tom Gerhardt, who

The big step that senior forward Cameron Vines has taken this season has had a direct correlation to how much better the Whetstone High School boys basketball team appears to be.

Vines’ improving group of teammates has had a major affect as well.

After winning just four games a year ago, the Braves already have surpassed that win total with half of the regular season still remaining. They also got rewarded in another way over the holiday break.

Watterson Roundup

Boone perseveres through swimming injury, rehab

Watterson’s Margaret Masty goes up for a shot while surrounded by Hilliard Darby defenders Alex Hoferkamp (12), Sydney Palsgrove (11) and Molly Bretz (3) during the Eagles’ 49-29 victory over the visiting Panthers on Dec. 28. Masty led Watterson with 12 points.

Heading into her junior season for the Watterson High School girls swimming and diving team, Emily Boone was considered one of the top returning swimmers in Ohio after finishing fourth in the 100-meter butterfly (56.08 seconds) and seventh in the 200 individual medley (2:05.1) at the Division I state meet as a sophomore.

But in the fall of 2009, Boone’s back began to ache on a regular basis during training, and on Dec. 18 of that year, her back hurt so much during the Big 8 Invitational in Canton that she wasn’t able to kick her legs during the final lap of the 100 fly and was left with tingling sensations in her legs.

Three days later, a magnetic resonance imaging test revealed that a protruding spinal disc in Boone’s back was causing compression on a nerve root in her spine.

The injury forced Boone to miss the rest of her junior season while she attended physical therapy sessions three days a week to strengthen the core muscles in her body.

“I was blown away by the times I swam at state as a sophomore, and I was on cloud nine after that,” Boone said.

“So I was miserable when I first hurt my back because I was really looking forward to my junior season. That was the worst pain I’ve ever felt, and at first, I was very frustrated and upset, especially when I couldn’t swim at sectional, district and state.”

But instead of wallowing in self-pity, Boone continued to support her teammates at meets, and throughout her long recovery process, she worked hard and

maintained a positive outlook.

“It was amazing to see the positive mentality that Emily was able to keep after what she went through,” coach Quintin Ward said.

“The way she persevered in that situation showed a lot about her character and maturity even though she was only 16 years old at the time. Her positive attitude and work ethic almost makes you wish you had an entire team of her to work with.”

By last May, Boone had gradually strengthened her back to the point where she was able to train again without much pain.

Even though she wasn’t able to com-

pete as a junior, she was recruited by several college coaches as a result of the times she swam the previous season, and she was offered a scholarship by the University of Toledo when she visited the campus last September.

After signing a national letter of intent with the Rockets last November, Boone credited her brother, Colin, with inspiring her to keep working hard toward reaching her goal of earning a college scholarship.

“We didn’t have the best break,” Jones said. “For having a bunch of first-year guys, I’d say we’re ahead of where we could be. But from where I’d like us to be, I’d say we’re a step behind.”

“I remember the night my brother got hurt, I was bawling my eyes out because I thought his football career was over, and he came home with a smile on his face and said that everything would be OK,” Boone said. “So when my injury happened, I used him as a role model. Colin told me to stay positive and never give up and I listened to him, and things have turned out well for me, too.”

Training with the Ohio State Swim Club, Boone gradually is improving her times with the goal of resting her body more toward the end of the season and peaking during the postseason.

At the Ned Reeb Invitational on Dec. 11 at Ohio State, Boone finished 10th in the 100 fly (1:00.96) and 12th in the 200 IM (2:16.1).

“Emily’s putting up great times for this time of year,” Ward said. “I think she’s going to help our team be more competitive at the district and state levels, because she’s capable of scoring 20 to 30 points at district and maybe even the state meet.”

Ward said the 5-foot-11 Boone also has the physical tools

and attitude needed to be successful at Toledo.

“Emily’s tall and strong, and she has a natural feel for the water,” Ward said. “Her feet are so big, they’re like flippers that propel her through the pool.

BATTERSON our fans were very loyal and made it to the game.”

This season was not the first time Ohio State football altered the schedules of area high school sports teams. The 2002 national championship, in which the Buckeyes defeated the Miami Hurricanes 31-24 in double overtime, nearly shut down all central Ohio sports and, in 2006, the Division III football playoff game between New Albany and DeSales and the Division II football playoff game between Big Walnut and Kettering Alter were moved to noon to avoid a conflict with the game between No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Michigan at 3:30 p.m.

However, only the Ohio State football team yields that type of power. When Ohio State’s men’s basketball team made the Final Four in 1999 and 2007, central Ohio high school sports went on as scheduled.

One would have to be blind not to recognize Ohio State football’s importance to Columbus.

According to ESPN, though the Sugar Bowl received an 8.4 share rating nationally, here in Columbus the rating was 46.4, the highest for any market for any bowl game in the country through the date this season.

The other 53.6 percent probably were at high school basketball games.

Westerville North athletics director Jeff Will opted to keep the boys basketball team’s showdown with rival Westerville South on Jan. 4 but moved the start time to 5:45 p.m. Even though the game went to overtime, with South winning 7773, Will was at home in time to watch the kickoff for the Sugar Bowl.

“Things went very, very smoothly for us,” Will said. “The day after we made the time change, we had officials in place and I didn’t notice much of a difference in the attendance.

Howard, an Ohio State fan, had a television near the concession stand tuned into ESPN so fans could keep tabs on the Sugar Bowl.

1 One day, a presently-young

film composer/pianist will perform a concert paying tribute to Dave Grusin, the Academy Award-winning film composer who, this weekend, pays tribute to film composer Henry Mancini in concerts with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra.

Or at least if there’s any justice, one will.

Point being, Grusin’s career is heavily influenced by the great Mancini, so it would be appropriate to carry on the tradition.

The CJO program is “A Night at the Movies,” and features Mancini tunes like The Pink Panther Theme and Baby Elephant Walk alongside other classic film repertoire, including Somewhere Over the Rainbow and As Time Goes By.

Dave Grusin

A jazz pianist (and record label exec — he’s the “G” in contemporary jazz giant GRP Records) as well as composer, Grusin’s film scores include Heaven Can Wait, On Golden Pond and Tootsie.

Tickets for the Jan. 14-15 concerts at the Southern Theatre are $41-$49. Call (614) 294-5200.

TB: How “interactive” should I plan to be?

Scampering waiters and above-average food at new Poblano’s MENU Except for the hardest-working and quickest-moving wait staff in town — servers literally, stunningly and unfailingly jog across its wide-open and winding-around spaces — Poblano’s is nothing you haven’t seen before.

That said, this bright and tidy newish Mexican restaurant’s food was consistently a cut above the norm.

Occupying a rambling, double-decker edifice spread out over several rooms, Poblano’s is a big and splashy establishment. Kind of fun in a kitschy and touristy way, its brash color scheme alternates from one tropically tinted wall to the next.

So as your head whirls as you try to follow that kinetic wait staff moving to the beat of relentlessly uptempo cumbia music, your eyes will rush past tones like tan-

by G.A. Benton gerine orange, avocado green, mango yellow and chili pepper red.

After the arrival of fresh and above-average chips and salsa, you’re probably going to want some of the slightly orange-flavored house margaritas. I recommend the worth-it upcharge for a lasts-forever (and potent!) half pitcher of “Poblano’s” Margaritas ($17) made with Hornitos tequila and Cointreau.

Appetizer-wise, though the homey, oregano-flecked and salty chicken and tortilla soups were both pleasant enough (each $2.50), my favorite starter was the extra-large and super-valued

The El Amigo entrée and Tres Leches cake at Poblano’s.

Whitefish Ceviche ($6.50). I liked how its abundant, creamy and unblemished avocado chunks calmed down the assertive yet enticing fresh lime juice mixture

(with diced tomato and onion) in which the plentiful chopped raw fish was “cooked.”

From the “House Specialties” entrees, El Amigo ($15) will definitely live up to its name and be your friend — if, like me, you’re a big eater. A virtual Mexican smorgasbord on a single plate, it was spilling over with nicely seared shrimp plus rice and beans (they grace most every meal and yes, they’re better than most), crisply grilled slices of thin beef (carne aside) and a boneless, skinless chicken breast. Both terrestrial proteins tasted great beneath their layers of rich melted Mexican cheese and zesty, greasy chorizo (but what wouldn’t?)

Real Mexican chiles rellenos have an eggier batter than you generally get in America. Since I got something approximating that at Poblano’s, I’d rate theirs

($10.50) on the higher side. I mixed and matched a chicken (stewy) with a beef (hamburger vastly improved by being cooked with onion, carrot and potato) to fine effect.

Though I doubt it was completely made from scratch, the mole sauce on my Enchiladas Poblanos ($9.50) was thicker, less sweet, richer and more complex (tasting of roasted chilies with a hint of cinnamon) than average.

It was slathered over a trio of tortillas wrapped around chicken stewed with rajas (roasted poblano pepper strips). Nice.

Also quite nice was a massive platter of Chile Verde ($11). That one featured huge chunks of tender, stewy pork shoulder enlivened by a piquant tomatillo salsa.

I’m a sucker for Pastel de Tres Leches, and Poblano’s version ($4.50) did not disappoint. Soaked in sweetened condensed milk, slightly perfumey and elaborately decorated with caramel icing piped into rococo decorations, it was a piece of cake that tasted as good as it looked.

Powell pizzeria serves up classic New York-style pies After Brooklyn Pizza opened on New Year’s Day, the New Yorkers started filing in.

One guy was from Brooklyn, another from Staten Island. Long Island was represented, as was Albany.

Owner Anthony La Cerva didn’t know there were so many Empire State transplants living in central Ohio.

“There’s a lot of pressure on me,” he said.

But it seems he has a hot, cheesedripping commodity – a New York-style pizza, complete with a crispy, foldable crust, 100-percent mozzarella and a house-mixed sauce.

“The only thing that’s missing is the water,” he said.

La Cerva’s goal was to create a true pizzeria, similar to the ones his father owned in the New York metropolitan area.

“When I was a kid, I was stuck at a table folding pizza boxes,” he said.

Thin-crust pizzas, cut into triangles no less, appeared to be an anomaly in central Ohio. Rarer still were by-theslice options.

“Maybe the pizza places (in town) don’t think they make enough money on it,” he said. “I’m stumped. In New York, they’re all over the place.”

of the restaurant-laden intersection at Liberty and Olentangy streets. La Cerva said he’s somewhat concerned about the lack of foot traffic in his strip center but is confident his product is singular enough to draw people from all over the region.

“I want to be the exclusive,” he said.

“Everybody’s going to have to come over here.”

Pies come in 14 and 16 inches, plus a 16-by-16 Sicilian alternative. Toppings include the traditional to more designer choices, such as roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes. A 16-inch

oats is being served at Starling’s new breakfast-and-lunch spot, Jodi’s Home Cooking, which recently took over the 29-seat Grace Diner space at 240 N. Liberty St. She admits that most customers haven’t even heard of it.

“But once they taste it, they love it,” said Starling, who ran the Sunbury Grill for three years.

It has myriad uses – for example, complementing omelets – or is enjoyable as a side, she said. Starling’s customers can get a GLT – a goetta, lettuce and tomato sandwich.

She also has a parade of homemade dishes, including buttermilk biscuits and gravy, soups, chili, pancakes and such. Her potatoes are fresh-cut and her burgers are hand-patted.

Prices range from $3 for a la carte items to $7.99 for meals.

“I love to cook. I like to cook anything,” she said. “I’m not much of a baker. I love to cook comfort food that fills people up.”

Jodi’s Home Cooking is open for breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Sunday, closed Monday. For more information, call 614-785-0474.
