Worthington Jewelers plan approved

By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers The proposed addition to Worthington Jewelers has finally been approved.

The Architectural Review Board (ARB) granted a certificate of appropriateness owner Joe Davis at its Jan. 27 meeting.

That was the final municipal hurdle standing in the way of progress on the addition to the jewelry store that is lo-

cated at 692 High St., on the southeast edge of the Village Green.

The proposed addition went through several revisions at the request of the ARB, then hit a wall with Worthington City Council, which refused to grant an easement during a December 20 meeting.

The easement was needed because the addition technically entered into the Village Green right-of-way, though that right-of-way is located south of Village

Green drive.

The request for an easement was tabled because it could not garner the votes of six council members.

According to Worthington’s city charter, a six-sevenths vote is needed to approve any construction on the Village Green.

To complicate matters, that meeting ended with council voting to name Davis as it newest member, replacing Mike Duffey. Any return of the issue would

have been awkward at best, since Davis cannot vote for anything that would benefit him directly.

Davis chose to move the north edge of the addition back beyond the rightof-way.

Other than that, the plans that were approved Dec. 9 by the ARB were not changed.

The 1,200 square-foot, two-story addition will be made of white wood and limestone with a standing-seam metal

roof. Lots of windows on both floors will give the addition a conservatory look.

The entrance will be on High Street, next to the current door. At the rear will be a bridal garden with plants, a fountain, and bench.

Davis hopes to have the addition ready to open in time for the holidays in 2011.

Management optimistic about local Worthington Craft Guild shop mall’s future

reopens at Worthington Square

By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers Christmas may be over, but not so the need to find the perfect, handmade gift.

With that in mind, the Worthington Craft Guild has extended its Christmas holiday lease on its shop at Worthington Square.

Beginning Feb. 2, the shop will be open Wednesdays through Sundays.

It sells a wide range of handmade items, from doll clothes to jewelry to wreaths to beaded wine stoppers with matching bottle openers.

Prices are affordable, and browsing is free, said Gloria Yonadi.

The shop is located in the former Caribou Coffee, directly across from First Watch at the east main entrance to the mall. People waiting for a First Watch table are welcome, as is anyone needing something unusual for a gift.

“You can come in and find a gift for any-

one,” Yonadi said.

Well-known in Worthington as the former owner and manager of Kerbler’s Restaurant,Yonadi sells beaded craft serving pieces she makes with daughter Gena Flick.

Fourteen other crafters sell their wares as well.

Barb Barbee sells jewelry and wire and silver smith items; Judy Cook sells fabric crafts; Gail Stafford sells American Girl and Bitty Baby doll clothing.

All is displayed throughout the spacious

former coffee house, making use of nooks, windows and built-in display cabinets.

“You can get a lot of different things in one place and that makes it nice,” said Yonadi.

The shop was open in November and December. It was so successful that Yonadi approached management to propose a longer lease.

Though the shop may have to eventually move to make way for a more lucrative tenant, the management agreed to allow the shop to stay on a month-to-month basis.

The crafters take turns running the shop and share in the cost of the lease.

The Guild will consider accepting new members who would like to sell their creations at the shop.

Anyone who is interested can stop by and talk to the vendor on duty, Yonadi said.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Board ponders financial literacy question

By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Should Worthington students be required to take a course in financial literacy?

The answer to that question may not be a simple as it seems, and the Worthington Board of Education would like some help from the community as it struggles to make the right choice.

Board members and administrators have been wrangling over an answer for more than a year.

Some board members want every graduate to complete a semesterlong financial literacy course, others say the important lessons can

be learned in other, already required classes.

And, of course, adding yet another course to the high school curriculum would more than likely cost taxpayers money.

“This is and of itself is a challenge in financial literacy,” said Jennifer Wene, director of academic achievement and professional development.

As a result of House Bill 1 (HB1), which overhauled some of the state’s education requirements, all districts are now required to offer instruction in economics and financial literacy during high school years.

How that is accomplished is

not mandated.

While some agree with board president Marc Schare that a dedicated course is necessary, others, like Wene, believe the needed information and skills can be covered in other classes.

Over the past year, teachers have worked to look at what is important to teach, and how to ensure that it is embedded in already required middle school and high school government classes.

Personal financial knowledge is also embedded in certain business classes, family and consumer science and a new course called Financial Algebra.

That is not enough for Schare.

“I believe that we must do all we can to arm our graduates with the knowledge necessary to make good financial choices as they start college or enter the workforce,” Schare wrote in a recent blog.

Schare is not giving enough credit to the teachers who modified the current curriculum to ensure that the necessary lessons are taught to all students, said Wene.

Adding a requirement would cost money and would mean students would not be able to take as many electives in areas like so-

Lions Club returns with swelling pride

By CANDY BROOKS

where they enjoyed camaraderie

ThisWeek Community Newspapers and service.

The Lions Club has sprung back to life in Worthington.

Two years ago, the Worthington Lions Club disbanded. The original Lions were dying off, and interest was low, said Ciss Sweeney.

Now a whole new crop of potential Lions have stepped up.

They have been meeting two Mondays a month since December, and in March will receive a new official charter from the international organization.

Sweeney said she and her husband, John, will welcome the return of the club. Both belonged to the original Lions,

“It is a good way to bring the community together and help people out,” she said.

The new club is expected to get involved in both international and local service work.

Internationally, Lions serve the blind and visually impaired with programs like collecting used eyeglasses for the poor.

The club also expects to raise funds to buy glasses for Worthington children.

The club will also support eye research and other visionrelated efforts.

Clintonville

Baer Wheels rolls to new location on N. High Street

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In a Facebook posting about Baer Wheels rolling on up High Street to a new Clintonville location, someone referred to it as a “really, really old shop with a new look.”

“Really?” owner David Baer thought.

He doesn’t feel all that old, nor does he think his enterprise, which celebrated a 20th anniversary on Jan. 1, exactly dates back to the horse and buggy era.

Nevertheless, Baer Wheels does have a new look and a new location. The business — which not only sells a variety of brands of new bicycles, accessories and apparel, but also offers maintenance, upgrades and even custom builds — has moved from 3030 N. High St. to 3510 N. High St. The latter was home to Areopagitica Books. Owners Doug and Rebecca Rutledge were forced to close the vintage and antiquarian book shop in late August after

not quite seven years in business.

Baer moved the store, which was initially located on Weber Road when it opened Jan. 1, 1990, for several reasons.

“The biggest being that the old store was 1,500 square feet approximately and this space is about 3,600 square feet, and we needed the room desperately,” Baer said.

The inventory had outgrown the old location, he said. When people are interested in a specific purchase, he said, and they come into a retail store. If they don’t find the right size or color in stock, “that kind of deflates the buying procedure a little.”

The display space for bicycles in the new digs is almost triple that of the old, accommodating about 70 bikes — up from about 25, according to the owner.

The new site provides additional service area in the back, he said, and two full repair stations have been added.

“We can stock, store and display a lot more bicycles,” Baer said.

MALL Continued from page A1 The Ann Taylor store anchored one of the four corners at the main seating area inside the mall. An empty storefront serves as a backdrop to the fountain that serves as a mall focal point.

“Ann Taylor has been a wonderful, long-term tenant, and we tried very diligently to help them stay,” he said.

On the plus-side of the ledger, Talbots, Chico’s and First Watch each signed leases in December.

Each lease is for five years or more, he said.

He promised more good news to come within the next 30 to 60 days.

“We are working with a lot of good tenants and restaurants that see our vision there,” James said.

Plans for additions and renovations are also moving ahead, with new renderings due to be released to the city in the next few weeks. Work is tentatively scheduled to begin in May 2011 with a grand opening set for November 2011.

James is excited to see Worthington Square return to its former vibrancy.

That is the plan of Tom Carter, a Worthington resident who purchased the mall along with Morris Capital Partners in December.

Both have extensive experience in mall development and redevelopment.

Carter was one of the developers of Easton. He envisions borrowing some of the elements of that successful retail center for Worthington Square.

A portion of the roof will be removed on the north end of the center, allowing more outdoor shopping and storefronts and a public gathering space.

There will also be lots of restaurants with outdoor seating areas and a bright, inviting facade along High Street, Carter said in previous interviews.

James does not see Worthington Square as being hard to sell to potential tenants.

“People in Columbus think we are over-retailed, but if you look at Worthington, that is not true,” he said.

Worthington residents who go to Easton, Polaris or Tuttle to shop will gladly stay in Worthington if the restaurants and shops are there, he said.

With a growing interest in bicycling in the past few years failing to couple with any growth in the space available at 3030 N. High, Baer said that he’s been on the lookout for a new site for the past several years, even one outside of Clintonville.

“I had thought about possibly going to another area, but this seems like the logical choice at the time,” Baer said.

While hardly feeling like Baer Wheels is “really, really old,” the owner had to admit that his business certainly has some years on all the new shops that have sprung up like mushrooms in recent years all over town.

“It’s made me the old traditional shop, which is striking for me,” Baer said.

Groups advocating increased bicycling and the “green movement” certainly helped to get more people interested in owning bikes.

“Gas prices helped tremendously a couple of years ago,” Baer said. “So it was sort of a perfect storm for bicycle retailers.”

Also at the Jan. 27 meeting, the ARB: • tabled a request for new signs at the BP station at 7141 N. High St. The “am/pm” convenience store is to become a “Duke & Duchess Shoppe.” The ARB objects to the proposal to use five colors on the freestanding sign.

• approved a major addition to the house at 779 Oxford St., but tabled a proposed carport addition. The owners plan to add to the rear of the house, build a deck, a patio, windows and siding. The carport, which may return for approval later, would need a variance to extend into the side yard. A neighbor objected to the carport.

• approved demolition of an existing sunroom and construction of a slightly larger sunroom on the house at 105 W. North St. cbrooks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

and Service Day will also be supported by the new club, said member Joan Bird.

Bird was instrumental in resurrecting the club.

A few months ago, a representative of the Lions contacted superintendent of schools Melissa Conrath, asking for her help in getting a new Lions Club started in Worthington.

Conrath put the word out in the schools and the community.

Bird, director of Leadership Worthington, inquired among alumni of that organization, and found considerable interest.

Add to that former Lions like the Sweeneys, and there were enough potential club members to make it work.

So far, there are 26 Worthington Lions. Only 20 are needed to earn a charter.

The new club will meet on the first and third Mondays of each month at noon at the Worthington Holiday Inn, 7007 N. High St. Anyone interested in joining is asked to contact Ciss Sweeney, president. She can be reached at cisssweeney@hotmail.com.

cial studies, English and fine arts.

In a time of declining resources, it is a real challenge to find a way to add teaching positions, she said.

And surveys repeatedly show that the community values the abundance of electives students can study in high school.

With mathematics requirements increasing from three units to four units for the classes of 2014 and beyond, the number of elective units will already decrease from six to five.

If the board does opt to add a financial literacy course as a graduation requirement, it might be a good idea to take a look at all of the graduation requirements rather than to just add one, Wene said.

“It kind of forces you to look at the whole question,” she said.

Library lines

Think spring at the libraries Spring is on its way to central Ohio, so come out of hibernation and head over to Worthington Libraries. We’ve got lots of special programs planned that are equal parts information, inspiration and fun.

Get Motivated & Condition for the Classic, March 28 Whether you want to shed a few pounds or improve your overall fitness, take the first step in a weekly training series that culminates with participation in Worthington’s Gary Smith Classic, a five-mile run/three-mile walk.

Kick off your commitment to get conditioned on March 28 during a fun, informative program that starts at 7:30 p.m. at Old Worthington Library, 820 High St. Not only will you get advice on running techniques from Jeff Henderson, the track coach at Thomas Worthington High School, but Smith’s widow, Nicole Gnezda, will talk about her husband and the importance of the classic.

Following the program, details about weekly training sessions will be decided.

All-Ages Poetry Competition, April 1-30 “Ink runs from the corners of my mouth./There is no happiness like mine./I have been eating poetry.”

Digest the sentiments of poet Mark Strand and celebrate the 15th anniversary of National Po-

etry Month by entering your own work in the all-ages competition, which runs throughout April.

Entry forms will be available at all library locations in midMarch. Entrants will have until April 30 to return a completed form, along with up to three poems.

A panel of judges will review all submissions and choose winners in the following categories: grades K-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-12 and adult.

Talk About Animals, May 22 Did you know that most rabbits don’t like to be held, or that recliners and sleeper sofas can be deadly to ferrets?

If you’re thinking about adding a pet to your family, don’t miss Talk About Animals, planned especially for those trying to choose the best animal for their lifestyle.

From 1-4 p.m. in the back yard of Northwest Library, 2280 Hard Road, experts from area pet rescue organizations will answer questions about life expectancy, temperament, care and space requirements and more.

For a complete list of spring programs, look for the library’s newsletter in mailboxes later this month, or go to the libraries’website, worthingtonlibraries.org.

Commentary and opinion

Guest column

Auditor’s office preparing for property reappraisals Wherever I visit, whenever I talk, property owners in Franklin County ask me the same question and nine times out of 10, it is the first question they ask.

“The real estate market seems to be struggling,” they start, “so I should expect to see my property taxes go down as well, correct?”

I do not particularly like to disappoint people, nor will I ever be dishonest with them.

“No matter what happens with the upcoming 2011 reappraisal,” I say, “You should not expect any significant fluctuation in your tax bill.”

The Franklin County Auditor’s Office is in the process of reappraising all of the more than 438,000 parcels of property in the county. When we release new values in the middle of this coming summer, homeowners can expect a new fair market value for their homes. We will mail a letter informing owners what our appraisers have estimated the home would sell for if it were to be placed on the open market.

Most property owners can expect that their values will be changed. Many people believe that if a new, higher value is established, their tax bill will be increased at a similar percentage to the value increase. Conversely, if the value is lowered, they expect their tax bill to be similarly lower.

Unfortunately, neither assumption is true. Ohio law is designed to protect both taxpayers and taxing jurisdictions during periods of rapid change in the real estate market. In a rising market, owners’ tax bills do not increase at the same rate as the rise in values and when the values decrease, tax bills do not decrease at the same percentage as the decline in values .

House Bill 920 was passed nearly 40 years ago. It protects both owners and taxing jurisdictions through a tax rate ad-

justment called “the reduction factors.”

Any property owner concerned about their tax bill CLARENCE 2010 or the 2011 MINGO II reappraisal is welcome to call 614-525-HOME (4663) to speak to a member of my staff.

I always encourage individuals to research House Bill 920. There is a wealth of information on the Internet that discusses the impact of the bill and most importantly, how the reappraisal will not affect, in any significant measure, how much you pay in property taxes.

After values are set later this year, we will set up sites in various communities within the county to give residents the opportunity to come in and talk about the value we have tentatively set for their property. If we find we are in error, we can and will make changes to that particular value.

Property owners will have the

opportunity to meet one-on-one with an appraiser from our office at the “informal reviews.”

We always encourage property owners to bring in any information that would help us understand their concerns. We will take a careful look at the information provided by the owner as well as other sources of market information to assure fair and equitable valuations, making changes as appropriate. It’s a very user-friendly process.

This summer, every property owner in Franklin County will receive a letter from our office letting them know the proposed new value of their property. We want people to take the value notice seriously and we want them to take advantage of the opportunity to meet with us to discuss that value in the fall of 2011.

Ecological farm group to host conference The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association’s 32nd annual conference, “Inspiring Farms, Sustaining Communities,” will take place Feb. 19-20 in Granville.

This event will feature nationally recognized keynote speakers Joan Dye Gussow and Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens, over 70 workshops, a trade show, organic and locally-sourced meals, a kids’conference, on-site childcare, and evening entertainment on Saturday.

Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens made the transition from conventional farming to leading experts in organic production. Farming organically since 1993, they raise about 1400 acres of corn, soybeans, small grains, and other crops as well as heifers, pigs and chickens in Penn Yan, N.Y. The Martens’venture into organic farming led them to start an organic grain business in 1996.

Lakeview Organic Grain has expanded to supply more than 300 organic farmers in central New York and is the state’s only dedicated organic feed mill and organic seed operation.

Gussow was one of the first people to envision, teach and write about a local, organic, whole food system, earning her the title “matriarch of the modern day food movement,” according to OEFFA program director Renee Hunt.

She is a nutrition educator, author, gardener, Mary Swartz Rose Professor Emeritus and former chair of the Columbia University Teachers College Nutrition Department. Gussow is the author of “This Organic Life,” “The Feeding Web” and “Chicken Little, Tomato Sauce and Agriculture: Who Will Produce Tomorrow’s Food?”

The keynote address by the Martens, titled “Living Upstream: Decision-Making on an Organic Farm” will take place Feb. 19 at 4 p.m.

They will share their philosophy on soil health management, crop rotation, weed control and marketing.

Gussow’s keynote address, “Where Have We Been, Where Are We going?” will take place Feb. 20 at 2:45 p.m. She will share what it was like in the early days of the organic and local food movement, and talk about its connection to current issues, such as climate change. She will also explore some of today’s challenges to establishing an ecologically sound food system.

In addition, the annual conference will feature more than 70 other educational workshops and cooking demonstrations.

Registration is now open. To register or for more information, go to http://www.oeffa.org/conference2011.php or contact Hunt at 421-2022 extension 205 or renee@oeffa.org.

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen EARS AND HEART SHARE MORE THAN 3 LETTERS When it comes to screening babies for hearing loss, the earlier the test is given, the better the outcome is likely to be. So says a recent study involving children with permanent hearing impairment. Researchers found that babies who underwent hearing screenings as newborns displayed better developmental outcomes than those who underwent screenings at nine months of age. Not only did the children screened earliest achieve greater overall, social, and gross motor developmental outcome scores by ages three to five years, they also displayed greater quality of life (as assessed by their parents). This study helps reinforce the notion that newborn hearing screening is a useful and effective means of improving the lives of children born with hearing impairment.

Because communication is a vital part of our world no matter what our age, we’ll do all we can to promote healthy hearing for all members of your family. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, we’ll start with a comprehensive hearing test and evaluation to determine the best course of action to follow. If a hearing impairment is detected, we’ll use all our knowledge and experience to match the correct instrument with your abilities in order to make the most of the hearing you do have. We also perform unique speech tests to help us find out why a person is struggling with understanding speech. You can reach us at 614-654-4309, 1000 Morrison Road, Suite H, Gahanna.

We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!

boardist Joel Cummins told The Beat a couple years back that the band writes new material for every show.

“We start with something we might have worked out backstage and just start throwing visual cues back and forth. Sometimes we come up with some pretty good stuff.”

So, yeah, the Chicago sextet is a jam-band, but less trippy and meandering and more driving and dramatic. The Beat has referred to them as the musical test-tube baby of the Dixie Dregs and King Crimson. Another writer called them “improg.” Nice.

Umphrey’s McGee plays Lifestyle Communities Pavilion, with opener Orchid Lounge, Friday, Feb. 4. Tickets are $20/$25.

Lemongrass Fusion Cuisine is a Short North classic The story of Lemongrass Fusion Cuisine says a lot about Columbus. Once a brash and hot new dining star in the explosively growing constellation of Short North restaurants, about a dozen years later it has the status of a mature establishment that can even be taken for granted.

That’s what I was thinking recently as I trekked back into Lemongrass’ heart-of-it-all digs.

Having not been in a while, I wondered if the place would feel lively and fun again or simply outdated.

At first glance, not a heck of a lot seemed different. Those same autographed entryway photographs of Michael Moore and Viggo Mortensen from Lemongrass’s glam-slamming earlier days were still hanging opposite its kicky little bar. And the restaurant proper had retained its theatrical look and

by G.A. Benton vibe.

So there’s the stage-like, trendily distressed wooden plank flooring, rainbow sherbet colored walls, a soaring ceiling, low and pleasant lighting and even a few little roofed dining niches bounded by gauzy curtains. This dramatic setting naturally attracts a classic, non-conformist Short North-type crowd.

Lemongrass’ food is as flagrantly off-center as its freewheeling patrons and setting. Basically it’s a lot of Thai accents merging with Mediterranean sensibilities.

For instance, the alluring Lemongrass Soup with vegetables

($4) was like a compelling collision of minestrone and Tom Yum soups. A light and brightly citric broth with chili, fish sauce and lemongrass notes was filled with pasta shells and firm veggies like carrot, mushroom and zucchini.

An unusual, but pretty and pleasing Eurasian Salad ($7) combined

shredded cheese with crispy Asian noodles, toasted almonds, pineapple, mandarin oranges and fresh greens. I liked its crunch and the way its unexpected tamarind-forward Worcestershire sauce-y dressing played off the fruit.

Lemongrass’ huge menu includes lots of sushi, like the justifiably popular Lemongrass Roll ($12). With silky swaths of salmon and sweet BBQ eel draped over an inside-out spicy tuna roll accompanied by zingy sauces and garnishes, it managed to be delicious, fun and colorful without sounding too many bells and whistles.

Ditto for the excellent Pad Thai with Tofu ($12). I was especially fond of its healthier than usual wealth of multi-hued vegetables and lack of grease.

More one-note tasting was the Monsoon Shrimp ($16). It wasn’t

I would’ve liked its hints of chili and lemongrass to have been cranked up to balance out its milky sweetness.

A more-interesting coconut milk dish was the Hawaiian Duck ($19).

Italy met Asia on a veggie- and fruit-heavy plate of pasta with big chunks of delicious — but not

crispy-skinned — duck.

Seared Cajun Scallops ($19) were pretty terrific. A generous load of zesty spice-coated shellfish was beautifully browned and wonderful tasting.

Sure, Lemongrass’ ’90s-era cocktails don’t excite and its large wine list contains many smart “best buy” selections that no longer are.

And yeah, a dessert like Fried Plantains (with upscale ice cream bar slices) is more fun than memorable.

But Lemongrass is still a fun, lively and intriguing eatery. If it’s considered “just another Columbus restaurant,” that only speaks volumes about our modern and great-eating city.

Clintonville readies for servings of Polish comfort food Unlike cities in northern Ohio, Columbus isn’t known for its large ethnic neighborhoods.

Dennis Bennett said he doesn’t think that places Babushka’s Kitchen at a disadvantage.

“What Columbus lacks in heritage it makes up in its foodiness,” said Bennett, who, with his wife, Jacky, will open the Polish restaurant sometime in the next few weeks in Clintonville.

The restaurant will take over the old Scottie MacBean location at 4675 N. High St. The signature dish is the pierogi, which comes in five varieties: potato; potato and cheese; potato, cheese and bacon; mushroom and swiss; and roasted sauerkraut.

It’s made in-house and prepared in classic fashion: Boiled and then pan-fried with onions and butter and served with sour cream.

Custom orders are accepted for carryout but must be made 24 hours in advance.

Other ethnic favorites include kielbasa, made by a producer in Cleveland using Babushka’s special blend of spices; kolachky, folded pastry lined with fruit or cheese; and golabki, stuffed cabbage.

Babushka’s offers counter-order service in a casual environment that seats 112. Reservations are

Dennis Bennett and his wife, Jacky, are opening Babushka’s Kitchen at 4675 N. High St. The restaurant, which will open in the former Scottie MacBean site, will offer traditional Polish fare.

not accepted and no alcohol is served.

The restaurant was founded by Jacky’s parents, Dave and Nancy Abramowski, who opened the first Babushka’s near Akron. A third one is planned for Independence in the Cleveland area.

Jacky will keep her job as director of conferences for The Ohio State University Alumni Association, while also pitching in at the restaurant.

Her husband, meanwhile, will leave his job as culture coach for Campus Dining Services at OSU to run Babushka’s.

Lack of on-site parking struck a nerve with Scottie MacBean’s immediate neighbors. Adding to their aggravation, the coffee shop’s ownership sought a liquor license, which was defeated by voters in the precinct.

The Bennetts said additional parking can be found at Beechwold Custom Jewelry, located a few blocks south. Also, they said they have no interest in seeking a liquor license.

Jennifer Kangus, the area’s representative to the Clintonville Area Commission, said she’s in a wait-and-see mode with the restaurant, as no one has yet raised an issue about parking.

“Parking is always a concern in Clintonville,” she said. “It’s one of our universal themes. It always seems to come up. I’d like to see how things go and hopefully it will work out for the best.”

Babushka’s will be open for lunch and dinner five days a week, lunch only on Sunday and closed Monday. For more information, call 614-4479120.

Melissa Worthington, a former banker and current nurse, has a new challenge: Cupcakes.

Worthington and business partner Briana Irby, also a nurse at the OSU Medical Center, have opened Blue Frost Cupcake in Downtown Worthington. It’s another in a long line of independent cupcake shops that have dotted the central

Ohio map.

Worthington said she hopes to differentiate her shop with quality ingredients – Madagascar bourbon vanilla, Saigon cinnamon and Callebaut chocolate, to name a few – and flavor.

For video on this story, go to www.ThisWeekNews.com.

Presentation and taste are equal, she contends.

“We wanted something that tasted as good as it looked,” she said.

Blue Frost, 657 High St., offers 10 permanent flavors, plus two daily specials, such as the lemon chiffon, which uses scratch-made lemon curd.

Cupcakes are $2.50 each, $1.50 for minis. There’s a small amount of seating inside and a few beverages, such as coffee and tea.

The bakery is open six days a week, closed Monday. For more information, call 614-844-4850.

Scholl to replace Beattie at Thomas

By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Evie Scholl is excited about getting her first job as a varsity head coach, but she knows it will be tough following Nancy Beattie.

Scholl was hired last month to replace Beattie as the Thomas Worthington High School girls track and field coach.

Beattie, who retired after 20 seasons leading the program, won eight Division I regional titles (1991-97 and 1999), 12 district championships (1989, 1991,

1993-98, 2002, 2004-05 and 2007) and 11 OCC titles (1990-91, 1993, 1995-98, 2005-08). She also coached the Thomas boys cross country team from 1989-97, winning league and district titles in 1993.

Scholl, a 2000 Thomas graduate, was coached by Beattie. She went on to run track and cross country and play soccer at Eastern Michigan.

“I learn more and more every day from (Beattie),” said Scholl, who was an assistant for Beattie last season. “I’m so excited, but what big shoes I have to fill.

“I was so lucky to have her as coach, and now she is my mentor. If I could pick anyone to learn from it would be her because she knows not only how to coach, but how to coach girls by being able to balance sports and social lives.

She will be a great help.”

Beattie will coach sprints and hurdles as an assistant for Scholl.

“Evie has a deep knowledge of the sport and the skills necessary to prepare our athletes,” athletics director Dan Girard said. “She was an assistant (at Thomas) and ran track here and also in

college. She is student-centered and has a solid knowledge of the skills needed to coach track and field.”

Scholl was a member of the Division I state championship 3,200-meter relay team for Thomas in 1997. Although only a freshman, she joined Laura McKinley, Mary Tomer and Tricia Gasser to win the event in 9 minutes, 9.2 seconds, which is still a program record.

After graduation, she was an all-MidAmerican Conference performer all four years at Eastern Michigan, where she earned her teaching certificate for grades

4-9 in science and social studies as well as a bachelor’s degree in criminology and legal studies.

“What I enjoy right now is working together with the coaches at Thomas,” said Scholl, who is a full-time substitute teacher with the Upper Arlington school district and is working on her master’s degree at Ashland University. “Boys coach (Andy) Cox helps with the distance and middle-distance runners.

Wolves look to boost offense

(159), Central Crossing (72), Kilbourne (61) and Darby (50).

The Cardinals surprised UA with Claudia Doyle, Maren Reeder, Julia Valentine and Katie Allison winning in the 200 medley relay (1:51.59). The Bears have won state titles in the event in eight of the last nine years.

“That was awesome. Beating UA got us all excited,” Maren Reeder said. “It’s the championship time of the season. You’re giving everything for the team right now.”

Doyle was first in the 100 back (58.39) and second in the 50 free (24.72), and Maren Reeder was first in the 100 breast (1:09.05) and fourth in the 200 IM (2:16.49). Other top finishers for the Cardinals included Katie Chu (second, diving, 338.75), Abby Jank (third, 100 free, 56.1) and Valentine (third, 100 fly, 1:03.26; third, 100 breast, 1:10.15). Allison, Valentine, Jank and Carly Davis were second in the 200 free relay (1:44.3), and Jank, Maren Reeder, Davis and Doyle were second in the 400 free relay (3:41.12).

The Worthington Kilbourne High School boys basketball team has a 6-0 record in games in which it has at least 50 points, but is 1-8 when failing to reach that mark.

Kilbourne coach Tom Souder said his squad’s inconsistent offense has more to do with lapses in execution than how it is being defended, and he pointed to a 59-43 OCC-Central Division victory at Westland on Jan. 28 as an example.

In that contest, Kilbourne rushed many of its shots in the first half while struggling to a 2422 halftime lead. The Wolves took better shots in the second half while outscoring the Cougars 3521.

“I told our players at halftime that it’s not about our defensive effort because we’ve been good on defense all year,” Souder said.

“It’s come down to our offensive execution. We have to remember that there isn’t a (shot clock) that we’ve got to beat. When we’re patient and work for the shots we want, we’re a much better offensive team and a much better team all-around.”

The Wolves will get an opportunity to redeem themselves on offense when they play a league game at Hilliard Davidson on Friday, Feb. 4.

Kilbourne was held to a season-low point total in a 41-35 home loss to Davidson on Dec. 21.

“We didn’t play very well last time, but that’s a credit to (coach Kevin Logsdon) and their defense,” Souder said. “We’ve got to execute much better against a good pressure defense.”

Davidson beat Central Crossing 61-41 on Jan. 28 to improve to 9-5 overall and 6-4 in the OCCCentral. The Wildcats were led by 6-foot-3 senior wing player Cole Lawson’s 18 points, while 5-8 junior point guard Davonte Peterson had 13 points and 6-1 junior wing player Chris Logsdon added 12.

In the first meeting, 5-11 senior wing player Andrew Gronski scored 13 points to lead Davidson, while Blake Collins scored 13 points to pace Kilbourne.

Leading Davidson in points per game are Peterson (12), Logsdon (10.4), Lawson (7.7), 5-8 junior guard Brandon Gleim (7.1) and Gronski (5.8).

Considering that Davidson doesn’t have any players taller than 6-3, junior post player Conor Flaherty said the Wolves will try to feed the ball inside to 6-7 seniors Jack Burian and Kevin Carey.

Connor Dahn, a 6-4 junior wing player, is expected to return after missing three games with a concussion.

Leading Kilbourne in points per game are Austin Parker (12.4), Dahn (8.2), Burian (6.7), Brian Hanks (6.3) and Collins (5.8).

Wrestling

Bressman settles in at lighter weight

By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Worthington Kilbourne High School wrestler Jedidiah Bressman isn’t facing a weight disadvantage anymore.

The senior dropped down one class to make his season debut at 189 pounds during an OCC-Central Division dual at Thomas Worthington on Jan. 27. The result was a 12-3 victory over Andrew Shackelford as the Wolves won the annual matchup against their cross-town rivals 55-16.

“I weighed in 26 pounds underweight

at (the) Jonathan Alder (Invitational),” said Bressman, who nonetheless advanced to the championship match at 215 in the Jan. 22 tournament before losing to returning Division II state qualifier Chase Redman of Licking Valley 20-10. “No offense to Shackelford, who bumped up to wrestle me and help his team, but I feel like I can be a lot more competitive at 189. This was a great way to start.”

Bressman posted his 50th career victory with the win over Shackelford, who was the runner-up at 171 during the Eaton Invitational on Jan. 28-29, and

improved to 21-4 this season. Bressman finished 24-19 a year ago and was a Division I district qualifier at 215. He won only five matches as a sophomore.

“I can definitely maintain it,” Bressman said of staying at 189 for the postseason, which begins later this month. “Hopefully, this will get me over that last hurdle. My goal is to make it to the state meet and see what happens there.”

By his own admission, Bressman isn’t the strongest or fittest wrestler in Kilbourne’s lineup.

“He’ll tell you it’s all about technique

with him, and that’s what it takes to win in March,” coach Ed Chism said. “That being said, he is deceptively strong.

He’s really dedicated himself to the sport, too, and that attitude rubs off on everyone else. The other kids see that and can recognize what his work ethic is doing for him.”

By the time Bressman took the mat in the Thomas dual the Wolves already led 45-10 after getting pins from Nick Varazashvili (125), Wasim Soomro (130), James Gundling (135), Josh JenkSee WRESTLE, page B2

Swimming & Diving

Squads pleased with league showings

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After missing the OCC-Central Division meet last year while recovering from pneumonia, Worthington Kilbourne High School junior Keeler Callahan made the most of his chances to compete in the event this season.

On Jan. 29 at Thomas Worthington, Callahan finished first in the 200-yard freestyle in 1 minute, 46.01 seconds and was third in the 500 free (4:57.32).

He also joined Ryan Wiet, Riku Kaida and Jake Wood in a thirdplace finish in the 200 free relay (1:37.57), and Matt Lacey, Mitchell Guist, and Wood in a fourth-place finish in the 400 free relay (3:30.63). Hunter Atha placed first in diving (434.45 points).

“The OCCs is like our first real big meet of the season,” Callahan said. “Missing it last year was hard. I was sitting in the stands going, ‘I could be in that lane, getting second or first in that event.’

“At the OCC meet, your times start to go down and you kind of get an idea of where you could be swimming at the end of the year.”

Commentary

Sangster hockey bloodline paying off for Olentangy It’s certainly no surprise that the Sangster twins are key figures for the Olentangy High School hockey team.

Trever is the steady goaltender for the Braves and Tyler had scored 40 goals before January ended.

The reason their success shouldn’t be a surprise is their lineage. The cohead coach at Olentangy is their dad, Rob, who was drafted by the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks and played for the Columbus Chill in their first season, 1991-92.

Rob Sangster is cherishing this opportunity to coach his sons.

“I treasure this time with this team,” said Sangster, who is co-coach with Mazin Habash. “I am so fortunate to be spending valuable time with my kids and I am trying my best to enjoy these moments while they last.

“Coaching is challenging and coaching your own kids is even more challenging because you have to use dif-

ferent motivational techniques with each kid, but the experience has been really great.”

Trever and Tyler Sangster, who are seniors, said having their father as their LARRY hockey mentor has LARSON been valuable.

“Basically, just having his presence at practice is so good for all of us. My dad has credentials. He was a pro hockey player and he knows the game so well,” Tyler said.

Trever added, “Our dad had us ice skating at the age of 4 and playing hockey at the age of 5 and he has always been pretty tough on Tyler and I, but by pushing us like he does, we have learned a lot and have become much better hockey players.”

His coaching has helped the entire team, the brothers said.

“Our chemistry has improved so much this year,” Tyler said. “We have a good senior class to provide leadership and on the ice our experience is shown by our growing awareness of each other and our overall puck control.”

Trever added, “Our team is very respectful of each other. We are focused on always getting better and our older players have done a good job helping the younger players.”

The excitement level in their voices goes up when they talk about their love of hockey.

“It is so challenging to be a goalie,” Trever said. “You have this wide range of emotions throughout a game. There is the adrenaline rush when you see a good player with a hard shot coming at you and you learn with time that the mental side of playing this position is what makes you successful. For all the

excitement going on in a game, you have to stay calm and collected. If you get scored on, you can’t worry about it and you have to maintain a confident attitude.

“My idol as a goaltender is the legendary Patrick Roy, but former Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Ron Tugnutt helped me when I was around 10 years old, and he and present Blue Jackets goaltender Steve Mason are also my heroes. I love the fierceness of hockey and I love seeing a puck being shot at me. There are so many challenges in each game.”

Speaking of his passion for hockey, Tyler said, “I believe my hands are my strength. I have decent speed, pretty good puck control and I think I have good awareness on the ice, but in this game you have to be heads up every second. You have to make split-second decisions and when you go into the corners, you almost have to have

your head on a swivel.

“My personal hero was always Pavel Bure because he brought vibrancy onto the ice when he played and he had dynamic energy and it is that energy that I want to copy. I love the flow of hockey. I love the feel of the air when I am on the ice and I love the speed. It’s a change-up from other sports and a change-up from everyday life. Hockey has helped me develop into the person I am through the work ethic I have learned.”

The Sangster trio hopes to continue to make the Olentangy hockey program better. They certainly have the proper attitude heading into the postseason.

I’ll see you at a game.

dividuals to finish in the top five for the Wolves.

Jim Callahan, who coaches both the Thomas and Kilbourne girls and boys teams team, said the OCC meet was a perfect lead-in to the postseason.

“Anytime you have a meet with teams like Upper Arlington, it has to help you,” he said.

“You learn to take the positive and negative things that happened at the OCC meet and learn from them for the sectional, district and state meets. If things don’t go well, you learn from it.

If you do well, you use that as a springboard for the rest of the season.”

The Wolves and Cardinals will compete in a Division I sectional meet on Feb. 12 at Thomas.

Dublin Jerome, Delaware, Gahanna, New Albany, Olentangy Liberty and Westerville South are among the teams expected to compete.

The first- and second-place finishers from each event qualify for the district meet Feb. 19 at Ohio State. In addition, there will be 26 at-large qualifiers in each event based on time from the two Central District sectionals, the East District sectional and the Southeast District sectional.

There’s a different atmosphere around practices as teams begin to taper down for the end of the season. The teams start morning workouts at 6:15 a.m. instead of 5:45 a.m. and swim 4,000 yards at practice instead of 6,000 to 7,000.

As the yardage goes down, Keeler Callahan said the level of competition goes up.

Burian, who got into early foul trouble in the first meeting, said his team must do a better job of avoiding unnecessary fouls while trying to create turnovers.
