Meeting access question stirs controversy

Controversy has been no stranger of late to meetings of the Clintonville Area Commission.

Now, the issue of how those arriving late can participate in or at least witness the occasional heated exchanges has itself become controversial.

Architect Tim Lai and his wife, art historian Eliza Ho, are in the running for an award for designing a “green” residential structure. They need their neighbors to participate in online voting to help them win.

Clintonville couple: design finalists in contest

Architect Tim Lai and his wife, art historian Eliza Ho, have worked in the past to help Clintonville residents by seeking to preserve the old Clinton Theater and, when that effort failed, offering suggestions for using the vacant site.

Graffiti problems

Rebuffed in two attempts at the February meeting of the Clintonville Area Commission to be allowed to take charge of efforts to establish “gateways” for the neighborhood, District 1 representative Mike McLaughlin vowed last week to carry on.

“Many communities across Columbus are looking at gateways as defining their area and it’s the first thing that people see when they c0me into their community,” McLaughlin said.

“The Short North has the arches,” he said.

During his district report at the Feb. 3 CAC session, McLaughlin asked chairman John DeFourny to form a task force to study the issue of some way of notifying people when they enter Clintonville.

McLaughlin sought to be named chairman of the task force, which would determine where community gateways exist, develop a design for signs or other markers and then seek funding.

DeFourny responded that he would take the matter “under advisement.”

McLaughlin then made a motion to form a committee instead of a task force.

Under the CAC’s bylaws, the chairman may create a task force, while the commission members themselves can vote on forming a committee.

The proposed committee would have a single focus on the subject of gateways, McLaughlin said.

If his motion was approved, he added, he would return at the March meeting with the names of members for the panel.

DeFourny’s reply to that was to say the gateway issue was one for the planning and development committee, and that he wanted to see a “more detailed proposal.”

McLaughlin indicated that he had been waiting for quite some time for planning and development to come up with something related to the commuSee FOCUS STILL ON, page A6

CAC election

Meeting to embrace several neighborhoods Panel to issue call

By KEVIN PARKS

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

What started out as a simple effort to convene Clintonville residents concerned about graffiti has taken on a life of its own.

“It’s kind of become a career,” joked James R. Blazer II, the District 3 representative on the Clintonville Area Commission.

Several months ago, Blazer polled his fellow area commission members to see if they would be willing to let him call a community meeting on the subject of “tagging.”

“It’s become a big issue in Clintonville, and people are upset,” Blazer said last week. “It’s defacing the neighborhood.”

Since the graffiti problems that beset Clintonville are, if anything, more pronounced in the University District, Blazer approached that area’s commission chairman, Ian McConnell, to gauge his sup-

port for the concept. He was “gung-ho,” according to Blazer.

“We have common related areas that have similar problems,” Blazer said.

The expansion of territory to be encompassed by a graffiti discussion, which is now set for Wednesday, March 16, didn’t stop there.

Soon, the two area commissions for the Linden neighborhood were added into the mix, as was the

Northland Community Council, which has an active graphics task force that tracks signs placed illegally in the public right of way, violations of the city’s sign code and, increasingly, instances of graffiti tagging.

In his monthly report for last week’s NCC meeting, task force coordinator William Logan cited four instances of graffiti vandalism in January, one at the intersection of eastbound Interstate 270 at Schrock Road, a second on Cleveland Avenue at Home Acre Drive, a third, also on Cleveland Avenue, this one at Minerva Park, and the final one on a pedestrian overpass facing southbound I-71.

Blazer is in the process of setting up a meeting with Isom Nivins, the neighborhood liaison for Clintonville, to determine who from the city might be best to have on hand for the March 16 graffiti gathering, which is to take place in the Charity Newsies building, 4300

Indianola Ave., starting at 7 p.m.

This second “career” for the CAC member began with a conversation he had with a constituent a while back. The woman told him she had noticed more and more instances of graffiti on buildings and public property in her walks in the neighborhood.

“She was, like, ‘What are you going to do about it?’ and I was, like, ‘Well …,’ ” Blazer recalled.

Eventually, he decided to call a sort of summit meeting on the subject, one with a primary purpose of dispelling what Blazer termed the “myth” that graffiti taggers are somehow artists.

“They’re criminals, defacing public property costing taxpayer money and defacing private property costing people money,” he said.

Blazer admitted there are no easy solutions to the problem.

Meeting access question stirs controversy Continued from page A1 It was D Searcy of District 9 who broached the subject Feb. 3, despite earlier e-mails from DeFourny saying the agenda was already too crowded. She pointed D Searcy out the library’s policy is that no one is allowed in the building once the doors are locked at closing time.

The disparity between the length of

meetings and library hours has existed for many years, and appears to be of concern to a single resident, DeFourny said.

“I think it’s a lot of ado about nothing,” he said. Since the library is open until 9 p.m., people have two hours to get in, he added.

McLaughlin admitted that he hadn’t heard from anyone who was unable to get into a CAC meeting because the library doors were locked.

“We’ve had no probDave Southan

lems in the past,” District 7 representative Dave Southan said at the Feb. 3 session. “I don’t think anybody’s been turned away.

Why’s the question arising now?”

Mike Folmar District 4’s Mike Folmar expressed concern at the prospect of simply ignoring a legal opinion from the city attorney.

“Why don’t we just answer the door?” asked James R. Blazer II, the District 3 representative.

Blazer again suggested that solution during a telephone interview last week.

“It is simple: just answer the door, and then you’re not in violation James Blazer II of anything,” he said.

“Our meetings do run long at times. I’ve not had any complaints about it, but the doors do get locked and that’s been going on for years. To be bringing it up now, it seems like it’s a nonissue.”

“I don’t have a problem with the cit-

izens of Clintonville or even commission members challenging us to be better,” McLaughlin said. “I’m always willing to rise to the occasion regarding whatever question someone poses to us.”

As for the individual who got the whole thing started, Jason V. Advani said via email that he had nothing to say for now.

“I have no comments at the present time,” he wrote. “I would like to first give the CAC an opportunity to formally discuss the topic. My understanding is that this will happen in March.” kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Clintonville couple: design finalists in contest GRAFFITI Continued from page A1 design and product options that meet or exceed existing third-party standards, while giving users choice and options in the realm of cost, style and environmental commitment,” according to the website. “As an example, all of our homes are designed to perform 30 percent to 50 percent better than prescriptive building code energy performance. The level of home performance depends on the ‘package’ of products that a user chooses.”

Lai and Ho are originally from Hong Kong. Growing up in a place of dense skyscraper development is what inspired Lai to become an architect.

“That’s what you see every day,” he said.

Lai came to wonder how those immensely tall buildings got built and to ponder what made one better than another. His undergraduate studies were at the University of Hong Kong. He moved to Los Angeles in 1998 to attend the Southern California Institute of Architecture, and came to Colum-

bus to be with Ho, who studied for her doctorate in art history at Ohio State University.

She disliked the urban sprawl of Los Angeles and he couldn’t take the traffic, they said, although both enjoyed the weather there.

“Columbus kind of grows on you,” Lai said. “I think Columbus is a great city.”

Lai has been an architect for 10 years. Like so many in his field, he got laid off from a firm when jobs all but vanished in the economic downtown of 2008. Having his own independent operation is what he had always wanted, Lai said.

“It’s really about the attention to details, and really having the overall sensibilities of a project,” he said.

For some time, the couple sought a lot in Clintonville on which to build a home of Lai’s design, but vacant lots are few

and far between, so they settled for an existing home on Summit Street.

Participating in the Who’s Next: Green Home Design Contest of the online house plan operation is a way of getting known within the architectural community, Lai and Ho said. Asking neighbors to help with the online voting portion of the contest, which makes up 25 percent of the final score, is another way of networking with the local community, he said.

“It’s a great vehicle for us to reach out to our friends,” Lai said.

While “green” means many different things to different people, in the realm of architecture it’s generally spelled with four letters: LEED. That stands for “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design,” a series of rating systems created by the U.S. Green Building Council to serve as in-

ternational benchmarks.

Some architects feel that the LEED guidelines are too restrictive, Lai said, but they do serve as a quantitative way of measuring the environmental performance of a given structure.

“To me, it’s really the connection to nature,” Lai said.

Both members of the Tim Lai Architecture team pronounced themselves thrilled to be among

the 50 finalists in the Who’s Next contest.

“It’s been a very fun experience,” Ho said.

Blazer said that he welcomes expansion of the graffiti meeting to areas well beyond Clintonville.

“The more the merrier,” he said.

“We’re happy to have everyone participate.”

Second bus turnaround session scheduled The second public meeting of the Central Ohio Transit Authority’s North High Street Project Citizens Advisory Committee is set to take place from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at the North Community Evangelical Lutheran Church, 114 Morse

Road.

The group was formed in the wake of last summer’s controversial effort by COTA officials to purchase a strip shopping center at North High Street and East Kanawha Avenue that would have been torn down to make

way for a bus turnaround. The move would have displaced several businesses and, nearby residents felt, unduly affect their neighborhood.

On July 22, COTA’s board of directors unanimously rejected purchasing the site.

COTA officials have said that in the future they will no longer be able to use Graceland Shopping Center as the site to reverse directions of northbound lines.

At the Jan. 24 session, which was attended by over 50 people, three potential replacement sites

were identified. Since that time, members of the advisory panel have been meeting to determine if any serious objections might be raised to the three locations, one on the east side of High Street just north of the old Melting Pot restaurant, another at the

Wesley Glen project up for ‘green’ grant Last week, Mayor Michael B. Coleman forwarded legislation to city council for four businesses to receive grants for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified “green” buildings and for brownfield assessment and redevelopment.

Among the four is the wellness center at Wesley Glen Retirement Community, 5155 N. High St. Coleman create the Green Columbus Fund incentive program for businesses and nonprofits as part of the Get Green Columbus initiative last fall.

“Through the Green Columbus Fund we will create jobs while protecting our environment,” the mayor was quot-

ed as saying in the announcement.

“The businesses taking advantage of this program are helping us build a stronger economy and a greener city.”

Council will consider legislation for two LEED and for two brownfield projects, the announcement stated.

The city would provide a grant of $15,840 to Methodist ElderCare Services for the sustainable construction of the Wesley Glen Wellness Center. The performance-based grant would be a reimbursement for the LEED-NC certification fee and potentially provide incentives up to triple the certification fee, according the mayor’s spokesman, Daniel M. Williamson.

The others included in the legislation are: • Heart of Ohio Family Health Centers plans to replace Capital Park Family Health Center with a new facility at 2635 Innis Road, and the city will enter into a grant agreement for $15,840. Based on performance, they will be reimbursed for the LEED-NC certification fee and potentially provide incentives up to triple the certification fee.

• The city will enter into an agreement for expenditures of up to $150,000 with the Franklinton Development Association for a Phase II Environmental Assessment of a potential brownfield site at 421-435 W.

City’s rivers did not provide useful waterway Continued from page A4

Just thinking

The mysteries of competitive cheerleading: Gimme a ‘why?’! would mean tracking down my yearbook, and you know what that means: goodbye to the rest of the afternoon – a total of 12 girls got to jump around on a playing field.

That’s 12 out of a school whose classes had more than MARGO 725 students each. As for the BARTLETT rest of us, well, we were the cheer followers – the ones who leaned to the left, leaned to the right, stood up, sat down and shouted “Fight! Fight! Fight!” It didn’t feel like much at the time, but now, from the perspective of years, I see that we too were playing important parts in the grand scheme of things. We were lending context; we were giving the cheerleaders a raison d’etre. Without us, why would they run onto the football field during timeouts to shout out commands such as “Give me a T!”? As the spectators, we were holding up one end of the cheerleaders’ platform, while the players held up the other.

Now consider today’s many cheerleading squads. The names on the fronts of their cute little uniforms aren’t the names of teams or players. They’re just cute names that somebody picked out: the Twinkles. The Sparkles. The Peppy Girls. The Peppier Girls.

And their cheers, when they shout them, don’t go out to athletes on a field where the score is tied near the end of the final period. They don’t unify a stadium full of frantic fans who just don’t know how they can live through the suspense of the next few minutes.

No, they’re just shouting in a convention hall filled with other teams just like them. This would be okay if they were going home at the end of the day to their athletes and their fans, but they aren’t. What they’re doing here – urging phantom crowds to cheer for phantom teams – is all there is.

“Everybody can use a little cheer in this world,” I hear someone, probably a cheerleader’s mother, saying. I can’t deny that cheer always comes in handy. Is this the way to get it, though – via little girls in kicky uniforms, shouting aimlessly?

Personally, I get a lift when I see boys playing volleyball.

began to argue that government should finance “internal improvements” like roads, canals and river work to “open the West” to commerce. And all of this should be financed by the federal government.

Of course many people in the East were not thrilled with the idea that their taxes should subsidize public works that would help the Ohio River valley compete with their own commerce. So canals were more a dream than a reality for a number of years.

Then the extraordinary success of the Erie Canal linking the East to the Great Lakes captured the imagination of the country in the years after the War of 1812. Soon many Ohioans were talking about canals and building one in the state.

But talk was really the only result.

Like many other times in the state’s history, forceful leadership was needed to bring canals to Ohio.

In this case, that leadership was provided by Ethan Allen Brown.

As early as 1816, Brown, a Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, had written to Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York seeking information about the canal system of that state. When Brown was elected governor in 1818, he proposed building a canal and continued to press for its construction. In the end the Ohio General Assembly agreed and studies were made as to possible locations.

Two major canal systems — the Miami and Erie in the west and the Ohio and Erie in the east — were built with the support and

supervision of a number of people as committed to the project as Gov. Brown had been. Important among them was Alfred Kelley.

Kelley had come to Columbus in 1816 to represent Cleveland in the assembly. He served for the next several decades, eventually representing Columbus as well.

As a member of the Canal Commission he personally supervised the construction of much of the canal. When the economic depression of the 1830s threatened Ohio’s ability to pay interest due on its canal bonds, Kelley would pledge his own Columbus home as collateral to ensure payment on the bonds.

Through the efforts of Kelley and many others, Columbus was linked to the main line of the Ohio and Erie Canal by a Feeder Canal that entered the city near the place where Bicentennial Park is today.

had green shutters and scarlet curtains. The inside panels of the cabins contained pictures and mirrors. The officers of the passenger boats were gentlemen. The cabin was a dining and sitting room in the daytime, but was converted into a sleeping apartment at night. There were staterooms at each end for the ladies, whose comfort was further promoted by the attentions of a polite and diligent stewardess. For years after the canal was opened, the boats always came in with a band of music playing on board. The captain of the boat usually played the clarinet for the entertainment of the passengers…”

But all of this growth and success came with a price.

The riverfront between the Main Street Canal Basin and the Broad Street Bridge came to be filled with docks for canal boats and warehouses lined the waterfront.

Factories, inexpensive housing and even less attractive taverns soon followed.

The river, once clear and pristine, soon became little more than an open sewer and a place few people willingly visited for leisurely recreation.

The golden age of the Ohio and Erie Canal lasted for less than 30 years. By 1850, the first railroad had arrived in Columbus and within a few years, the canal began a long, slow decline. An attempt to revive the canal around the turn of the century was unsuccessful as well.

In 1860, a state arsenal — now the Cultural Arts Center — would be built next to the canal to permit easy movement of arms and ordnance in and out of the capital city.

The canal and the recently arrived National Road transformed Columbus. As late as 1832, Columbus was a frontier village of a few thousand people. By 1834, Columbus was a city of five thousand people. Large numbers of travelers and immense quantities of freight arrived by both road and water and more than a few Columbus residents made their fortune in the new crossroads capital city.

The canal and its people captured the imagination of the city.

Longtime resident Emily Stewart later remembered, “The first canal boats seemed like fairy palaces. They were Ed Lentz writes a history column painted white and the windows for ThisWeek.

Commentary & opinion

I’m about to ask an awkward question, the kind of question that may get other people’s backs up, and maybe even inspire them to email me the kind of messages that will depress me for the rest of the day. Still, I’m going to ask the question anyway, because I’m a journalist, sort of, and as such I’m supposed to ask the awkward questions. (I get extra points if I insert the phrase “as such” while I’m asking them.)

Here’s the question. Well, before I ask it I should say that I saw a photo of a cheerleading squad in a newspaper the other day. The squad was competing in a cheerleading competition, so of course the girls were wearing their extremely cute uniforms with the name of the team on the front. I couldn’t tell by the picture, but I’m guessing they all had their hair fixed in intricate braids and whatnot too. I’ve been in the convention center during cheerleading events, so I’ve seen such teams in person. They all seem to have French braids, fancy hair accessories, and mothers who trail behind, carrying makeup cases and jackets and pulling suitcases on wheels.

Now for my question: Can some-one tell me who or what all these cheering squads are cheering for?

I don’t deny they’re fun to watch. I like watching them even when they’re hitting the food court in their warm-up suits and curly ribbons.

But it seems to me that cheering squads are like prepositions: they demand an object. Cheering without a crowd in front of you and a team behind is like taking the dog’s leash for a walk. What’s the point?

Here I must insert a comment that would begin “In my day” if I weren’t trying very hard to avoid using that phrase. But I can’t help remembering my own high school football and basketball games, during which the cheerleaders would watch the action and introduce cheers at the appropriate times: “Two points! Two points!” when a forward was driving to the basket; “Take, take, take it away!” when the other team’s forward was driving to his basket.

It always was his basket, too, because my day preceded Title IX by about 15 seconds. When sports are offered only to boys, girls swarm all over what’s left, and what was left in my high school was cheerleading.

Two squads were chosen each year, one for football and one for basketball. Assuming roughly six girls to a squad – because precise accuracy

FOCUS STILL ON ‘GATEWAYS’ Continued from page A1 nity’s entryways, which is why he finally decided to seek formation of a task force on the subject.

Current signs delineating Clintonville from surrounding areas are inadequate, District 9 representative D Searcy said, and they’re “randomly placed.” With examples like the arches in the Short North and the one designating Old North Columbus, Searcy said that it was time Clintonville got in step with the rest of Columbus.

The chairman was not swayed by her arguments.

“Noble as the suggestion is, I’d like to hear some input from planning and development on this,” DeFourny said.

Sarah Snyder, the District 2 representative, weighed in on the issue, saying that entrance mark-

ers for Clintonville had “consistently been an issue” with lots of public interest in the matter.

When the Sarah Snyder vote was taken, the committee motion was rejected.

Joining DeFourny in voting it down were planning and development committee co-chair- Jennifer Kangas man Nick Cipiti of District 5, District 3’s James R. Blazer II, Jennifer Kangas of District 6 and District 7 representative Dave South.

The other committee co-chairman, Mike Folmar of District 4,

sided with McLaughlin, Searcy and Snyder.

“I think that was a vote of no confidence on Mike McLaughlin, five to four,” DeFourny said last week.

The chairman added that he doesn’t see anything wrong with the concept of creating community gateways, just with the proposal and the individual who made it.

McLaughlin indicated that he wouldn’t stop trying.

He pointed out that in the case of one local neighborhood, it took eight years from the time a gateways concept was first raised to the project’s completion.

“I’m not sure that I’m the expert, but I’m willing to start the conversation, and that’s what I was asking to do,” McLaughlin said.

“I haven’t given up on it yet,” he added.

CACA ELECTION PANEL Continued from page A1

ing laws,” committee member Nancy Stewart said.

“To me that opens it up to possible fraud, when you just don’t have someone’s signature, even.

“I certainly do not want to open it up to mail-in voting. I strongly pushed to have other options.”

But mail-in voting was demanded by CAC members by a vote of 5-2, with two abstaining, when Rodgers presented her committee’s recommendations at the Feb. 3 meeting. Four meetings of the panel had failed to produce consensus on a secure process for voting by mail, and the committee did not make any recommendations along those lines.

“Our committee met four times and we, as a committee, did not feel that we had a consensus around mail-in balloting,” Rodgers said on Monday.

District 5 representative Nick Cipiti, the liaison to the election committee, urged the mail-in voting addition as a means of ensuring as many people who want to participate in the election may do so.

In spite of what committee members feel is a

need to add the signature requirement to vote-bymail request forms, a statement is scheduled to be released on Feb. 18 outlining the voting process, according to Rodgers.

“We’re moving forwards with the election, which based on the newly revised rules includes two advance voting days and voting days and a mail-in ballot provision,” Rodgers said.

Friday’s statement will also outline the process by which potential candidates may pick up petitions, starting next week, in order to run for the three posts up for election, Districts 1, 2 and 9.

Those seats are currently held by Mike McLaughlin, Sarah Snyder and D Searcy, respectively.

McLaughlin and Snyder abstained from voting on Cipiti’s mail-in motion at the February session.

Searcy voted against it.

“We trust our neighbors, but this is going just too far, I feel,” Stewart said of the mail-in process as it stands.

“Our job now is to move forward,” Rodgers said.

“We have a set of rules and our job is to run an election based on those rules.”

Surgery an option for sinus problems Frequent sinus infections in children are a common problem, especially for children in daycare settings. The average child can have six to 10 upper respiratory tract infections a year that have symptoms including nasal discharge and blockage.

Other factors that contribute to frequent sinus infections are environmental allergies, exposure to second-hand smoke, immunodeficiency, congenital craniofacial anomalies and some inherited conditions. Children with lung problems such as asthma and cystic fibrosis often have related sinus problems.

Most viral infections will resolve without treatment. A small percentage will progress to bacterial sinusitis that will require antibiotics for treatment. Narrowing or blockage of the nasal passages or sinus openings may increase the chances that a cold will progress to bacterial sinusitis.

Often, children may need medication to help treat sinus problems. This could include nasal steroids, nasal saline, mucous-thinning medications called mucolytics and some allergy medications such as anti-histamines.

In a small percentage of children, surgery may be necessary to relieve the blockage and open the sinuses or nasal passages. Prior to any surgery, a thorough work-up is necessary in order to determine the appropriate treatment course. Younger children do not typically need surgery on the sinuses as their sinuses are still developing.

Younger children with frequent sinus infections often have their adenoid, a patch of tissue located where the nose and throat join, removed.

The adenoid can be a haven for bacteria and can often block the nasal passages. Removing the adenoid is a simple and painless surgery that can be very effective.

When the sinus problem is more involved than an enlarged adenoid, the sinuses CHARLES to be imaged via a speELMARAGHY need cial X-ray called a CT scan.

A CT scan is the best way to investigate the anatomy of the sinuses and determine if the openings of the sinuses are blocked.

If sinus openings are blocked, they can be enlarged using special instruments and a small camera called an endoscope. This is called endoscopic sinus surgery.

Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Rhinology Clinic is unique in that it offers allergy testing and endoscopic evaluation during the same visit.

This allows both the allergist and otolaryngologist to determine an appropriate treatment plan.

You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider prior to starting or stopping any treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

Dr. Charles Elmaraghy is a member of the Department of Otolaryngology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of clinical otolaryngology at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Watterson Roundup

Girls team staying focused on Braves

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Watterson High School girls basketball team is well aware of the fact that its opponent in the first round of the Division I district tournament has struggled with turnovers this season.

But after losing two of their last three regular-season games, the Eagles aren’t taking anything for granted heading into their game against Whetstone at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Hilliard Davidson.

The winner plays Pickerington Central or Walnut Ridge in the second round Feb. 25 at Davidson.

“We know we definitely can’t underestimate any team, because we could lose to anyone if we don’t play well,” junior guard Ashley Andracki said.

“Pickerington North underestimated us because they’ve always killed us in the past, and we beat them (47-45 on Dec. 23). And we just lost a couple of games that we thought we should have won, because we didn’t play well, so we know that we have to take everyone seriously.”

Whetstone defeated Gahanna Christian 47-40 on Feb. 10 to improve to 5-15, as 5-foot6 senior point guard Haley Buskirk made five 3-pointers and scored 18 points, and 5-7 freshman guard Kalie Mascarello and 5-6 junior guard Symiah Campbell scored 11 points apiece.

Buskirk, Mascarello and 5-9 senior post player Brittaney Wilson each is averaging nine points.

Watterson coach Tom Woodford would like to see his team force a slew of turnovers with its man-to-man defensive pressure and then score in transition.

Nicky DiCarlo (right) of Watterson tangles with DeSales’ R.J. Martin in a match at 135 pounds during the CCL championships on Feb. 12 at home. The Eagles will compete in a Division II sectional tournament Feb. 19 at Hilliard Bradley.

“They aren’t real big and they don’t have a lot of experience,” Woodford said. “They haven’t handled the ball real well, either. (Buskirk and Campbell) shoot a lot of 3-pointers and (Mascarello) does a good job

shooting the ball, too. But with the way we’ve played lately, we keep everybody in games, so there are no givens. One thing is we’ve got to play good defense and do a better job of making free throws.”

Watterson missed 10 of 13 foul shots during a 51-49 double overtime loss to Hartley on Feb. 5, including two missed free throws with no time remaining in the first overtime.

Three days later, the Eagles

missed 10 consecutive free throws in the final four minutes en route to a 53-52 loss to Teays Valley, after holding a 33-19 halftime lead.

But on Feb. 10, Watterson snapped its two-game losing

streak by defeating Chillicothe 76-23 to improve to 16-3 overall.

Wrestlers encouraged

by City League success

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Whetstone High School wrestling team ended up with two individual champions and four others who placed among the top six at the City League tournament Feb. 12 at Columbus South.

Given that the Braves had only three seniors among their competitors, coach Tom Jones already is looking forward to next season.

“We had six guys advance to the finals and we were real close to having 10 placers,” Jones said.

“We wish we could have had another four guys place. We’re really only losing a few (seniors), so I think that will help us next year.”

Senior Marcus Moore (130 pounds) and Anthony Lehnen (103), who won City titles, and junior Mac Conkling (112), who was a league runner-up, also provide the Braves with three contenders to advance to the district tournament.

Whetstone will compete Saturday, Feb. 19, at the 13-team Marysville sectional headlined by Hilliard Davidson, Hilliard Darby and the host Monarchs.

Other City placers for the Braves were senior Brian Tran (sixth at 125), sophomore Daylon

Smoother (fourth at 140) and freshman Chris North (fifth at 145).

Senior David O’Neil (189), junior Bryan Barksdale (215) and sophomore John Duffy (160) each lost in the third round of the consolation bracket.

Last season, 2010 graduates Spencer Tuttle (119) and Ben Leach (135) were district qualifiers.

“It’s a tough sectional, but I think Marcus, (Lehnen) and Mac all have a good chance to make it out, as does Bryan Barksdale,” Jones said. “It all comes down to who wants it bad enough.”

•After getting off to a 9-2 start, the boys basketball team lost six of its next eight before playing Briggs in its regular-season finale Feb. 15.

While it was not the type of run coach Kevin Arway was hoping his team would be on entering the Division I district tournament, he believes his team has been making progress amid its struggles.

One of the biggest reasons for optimism heading into the postseason is that the Braves open the tournament against an opponent that also had its ups and downs during the regular season in See BRAVES, page B2

The Marion-Franklin High School wrestling and Africentric girls basketball teams added to their recent runs of success during the first two official City League championships of the winter season Feb. 12.

The Walnut Ridge boys basketball team will attempt to stop Northland from repeating as City League champion when the teams meet in the championship game on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Columbus East.

The only City title won by the Scots came in 1971, but that was eight years before the conference split into two divisions and held a championship game.

Walnut Ridge, which also won the Class AAA state title in 1971, will attempt to snap the Vikings’ four-year hold on the league title.

“It’s kind of been a three-year process,” Scots third-year coach Jason Bates said. “We all feel like we’ve been taking steps toward this since (the seniors) were sophomores. They just really bought in and just believed in each other. To go 12-2 in the (City League-South Division) last year and to (finish behind) Marion-Franklin was very disappointing, but they were just really focused this year.”

Walnut Ridge lost to Marion-Franklin 70-65 on Jan. 18 but clinched a berth in the City final with an 84-59 victory over Africentric on Feb. 8. The Scots then beat the Red Devils 63-55 on Feb. 11 to finish 13-1 in the conference.

Walnut Ridge, which is 16-3 overall and ranked sixth in the ThisWeekSPORTS.com Hoop It Up Super 7, has one of the area’s top forwards in Austin Traylor.

He signed to play football at the University of Wisconsin on Feb. 2.

Senior Dwayne Bazemore, a 6-10 post player, and seniors Jed Reid and Allasane Kah give the Scots a group of players inside to battle against Northland’s inside duo of 6-8 juniors Devon Scott and Jalen Robinson.

Faced with the task of slowing down a Vikings’ backcourt that features senior Michigansignee Trey Burke (23 ppg) are senior Rico Spears and juniors Fred Hardgrove and Adam McCall.

Burke, Spears and Traylor were teammates on the Monroe Middle School team that won a City title five years ago.

Northland went 14-0 in the City-North and is 18-1 overall.

The Vikings have won 70 consecutive City-North games and beat Marion-Franklin 62-52 to win their fourth league title in a row last year.

“I’ve watched (Burke) growing up, and he’s a phenomenal talent,” Bates said. “Trey Burke is the oil in their machine, and he’ll be the most important piece See CITY, page B2

“We’ve hit a rough patch at the wrong time, but I’m confident we can turn things around in the right direction again,” Woodford said. “In the tournament, we just need to play well for a full four quarters. We didn’t play well at the end of (our last two losses), but making plays to win close games has been a strength for most of the season. We just need to play with confidence.”

With the knowledge that Whetstone has struggled with slow starts, the Eagles will try to push the pace early in an effort to build a big lead and dash any hopes of a comeback by the Braves.

“We need to play hard right from the start and continue playing hard the whole game, because we’ve had some trouble maintaining our level of play recently,” Masty said. “Our team is a lot faster this year, so we like pushing the ball. We know we can make free throws, because we do in practice. It’s just been a mental thing. When we’ve been in a tough situation, we just freeze. But I know we can do better, because we’ve won in tight situations before and we will again.”

Masty leads Watterson in scoring, averaging 8.6 points,

Whetstone plays the Cardinals at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at Hilliard Bradley. St. Charles was 8-9 before playing Watkins Memorial on Feb. 15 but has a talented senior in 6-foot-5 forward Dane McLouglin.

St. Charles, which was allowing 43.4 points a game through 17 games, will have to stop a Whetstone attack that has been led by senior guard Cameron Vines, who is averaging 22 points.

“Cameron’s having a heck of a year,” Arway said. “He’s been shooting well, scoring well and definitely has had a great season.”

According to Arway, most of the teams in the City LeagueNorth Division showed significant improvement during the second half of the regular season to contribute to some of his team’s struggles. The Braves beat Centennial and Mifflin during the first round of league play but lost rematches to both opponents.

“I think we have to do a little bit better job at scoring better out of our offense,” Arway said.

“We have to be able to do that in a way that will sustain us late in games. I think we’re getting

Adam McCall is probably the best defender I’ve seen in the City-South this year, and Fred Hardgrove and Rico Spears know Trey and they’ve been wanting to play against Trey the last couple years. That’s a great team.”

•WRESTLING NOTES — Despite having a much younger lineup than a year ago, the Marion-Franklin wrestling team made it four consecutive City titles Feb. 12 at Columbus South.

The Red Devils finished with 202 points to place ahead of Mifflin (167.5), Centennial (160), Columbus West (150.5), South (137.5), Brookhaven (114.5), Whetstone (109.5), Northland and Walnut Ridge (105), Briggs (79), Beechcroft (51), Eastmoor Academy (49), Independence (42), East (37), LindenMcKinley (36) and Africentric (9).

“We have such a young and inexperienced team this year and really only a couple with any wrestling experience prior to this year,” Oney said. “We’re hoping to peak (at the sectional).

It’s the kids that (won in the backdraw) who won this (City) tournament for us. We always pound that heavy into them, that if you get beat, you’ve got to bounce back.”

Also winning league titles were Whetstone’s Anthony Lehnen (103) and Marcus Moore (130), Briggs’ James McGuire (112), Northland’s Adam Bray (119), Andrew Love (145) and Harold Mintsop (171), Centennial’s Stanley Hendricks (125) and Joel Waits (135), South’s Sherwon Wanzo (152), Mifflin’s Ezra Kennly (189) and Louis Baker (215) and Walnut Ridge’s Travis Gusan (heavyweight).

Mifflin had eight wrestlers place in addition to its two champions. Centennial beat Marion-Franklin 42-35 in a dual Dec. 15 but had only three wrestlers reach the final of their respective weight classes.

•NUBIANS AGAIN ARE CHAMPS — Africentric won its fifth City championship in six seasons when it defeated Northland 60-52 on Feb. 12 at Mifflin.

The seventh-ranked Nubians outscored the ninth-ranked Vikings 19-11 in the fourth quarter, in a matchup of state-ranked teams in Division III and Division I, respectively.

With Africentric leading 4847 with 3 minutes, 34 seconds remaining, the Vikings failed to score on four consecutive possessions and fell behind 55-47 with 1:17 to go.

No local players make McDonald’s cut No high school basketball players from central Ohio were selected for the 2011 boys and girls McDonald’s All-American games that will be played March 30 at the United Center in Chicago.

Ten players from the area were among the nearly 2,000 nominees. The rosters, announced Feb. 10, included 24 boys and 24 girls.

The eight area boys nominees

were Nate Anderson of Teays Valley, Dwayne Bazemore of Walnut Ridge, Trey Burke of Northland, Traevon Jackson of Westerville South, Jalen Ragland of Chillicothe, Brian Sullivan of Upper Arlington, Stevie Taylor of Gahanna and Austin Traylor of Walnut Ridge.

The area girls nominees were Kavunaa Edwards of Pickerington North and Raven Ferguson of Africentric.

Senior Raven Ferguson, an Ohio State-signee who has been a starter since her freshman season, finished with 22 points and nine rebounds to lead the way for the Nubians. Kiyanna Black had 18 points and Chelsea Chambers contributed steady play at point guard while scoring 11 points.

Africentric has won six consecutive district championships and begins the postseason in the second round at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at Gahanna against Heath or London. The Nubians are the district’s top seed.

Africentric lost to Brookhaven 46-41 in last year’s City title game after winning the previous four championships.

“It was a great game for us to get prepared for the district tournament,” Nubians coach Will McKinney said. “My seniors have played in (the City final) every year they’ve been in high school, so they understand you have to not get wrapped up in the stuff that doesn’t have to do with the game. We’ve won five City titles and been (in the league final) six times in eight years. That’s pretty good.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Lots of vino and voluptuous food at Tucci’s in Dublin The first thing you notice when you tread into the terrific Tucci’s is a chalkboard with 16 special wines listed on it. These are all available in two-, four- and sixounce pours that will never be overoxidized because Tucci’s owns a fancy Enomatica machine. If you’ve never seen one, they’re sleek, state-of-the-art appliances that feature high-tech wine preservation systems and deliver automated pours.

Given this fact — and the existence of about 150 more wines on Tucci’s menu — it’s clear vino is big here. But you could have gathered that from all the burgundyred accents in the casually elegant restaurant or from the convivial laughter bubbling up from its bustling, bottle-laden tables.

Don’t think that Tucci’s is consistently busy just because of its hooch, though. No, this prettily

by G.A. Benton golden-glowing eatery with both intimate and communal seating serves some of the best food around. Toss in a friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff, and you have one of the top-tier restaurants in the area.

Tucci’s menu is big but not overwhelming. It’s filled with influences from Italy, Asia, California and even Hawaii.

Most of these influences surface in the huge Outrigger Canoe Combo appetizer ($17). That fun, fry-happy app came with a boatload of: spicy scallops (perfectly “blackened,” served with a mustardy sauce and cooling gorgonzola); calamari laced with ba-

nana peppers and Parmesan (matched with a sort of Italian salsa); colorful Big Island Chips (made with root veggies like taro and lotus); and a shiitake, tomato and onion filled eggroll with a cit-

rusy soy sauce.

For a more modest starter, pick the Bibb Salad ($7). Like an elegant upgrade from that popular and still-resurgent iceberg wedge, its tender leaves of bibb lettuce were coated in a horseradishy gorgonzola dressing and further flattered by crispy bacon lardons and diced tomatoes.

Some of the best dining deals here are Tucci’s good, handmade pizzas ($10-$12) and stylish pastas ($10-$18, available in smaller sized and priced portions).

From the latter, the Spaghetti Bolognese ($10 for the “small” — it was big) was a winner. A chunky, believable and completely delicious bolognese sauce was tossed with whole wheat pasta.

The sophisticated entree had a complex, parmesan-enhanced richness slightly leavened by bits of bright tomato.

Friday-Saturday Tucci’s proudly serves organically raised, grass-fed beef. This makes its great 14-ounce New York Strip Steak ($35) a relatively guiltrestrained splurge. Beautifully grillseared, it was thick and lean but super juicy and had a mild but nice “chew.” Its very fine plate mates (garlicky sauteed spinach and mushrooms, fingerling potatoes and a fruity “cabernet demi”) were

cleverly designed to keep the focus on the high-grade meat.

Seafood’s prevalent here, too.

It comes in various varieties and styles, but even fish eschewers probably couldn’t resist the refined fish-n-chips treatment of the Chorizo-Crusted Grouper ($23). I loved its crunchy crust (with bits of spicy sausage) and goat cheese potato cake as well as its spicy “tomatoscallion emulsion.”

To finish, the buttery and caramel-y Apple Tartlette ($7) — with big clusters of candied nuts plus smoky, spicy and gingery notes — was more complex than I might’ve thought.

Ditto for this excellent restaurant.

Professional kitchen hopes to attract food entrepreneurs A vacant warehouse on the city’s East Side soon will be transformed into commercial kitchen for bakers, candy-makers and mobile push-cart operators.

The Economic and Development Policy Institute is developing the 8,000-square-foot space as a way to encourage job growth through entrepreneurship, said Bob Kramer, director of food services and safety for the nonprofit agency.

“The basis of the community bakery and commissary area is to provide a commercial setting for those food entrepreneurs who want to start a business,” said Kramer, former food-safety supervisor for Columbus Public Health. “At the same time we can provide them a menu of services, including business training, food-safety training, marketing and also loans, if necessary.”

The facility, off I-670 at 1655 Old Leonard Ave., is expected to open by June 1. The space will be split up into to two areas. The bakery will have four
