After 30 years

Otterbein professor becomes citizen

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

It’s been 30 years since Chilean native Carmen Galarce immigrated to the United States, but it wasn’t until last month that she could call herself a citizen.

With help and encouragement from her students, the Otterbein University foreign languages professor was sworn in as a U.S. citizen on Jan. 19.

A celebration in her honor was held Feb. 21 at Otterbein, where she has taught since

1987. She was joined by university president Kathy Krendl and state Rep. Anne Gonzales (R-Westerville), who presented her with a U.S. flag.

Galarce, who lives in Columbus, came to the United States in 1979. She said political unrest and violence in Chile threatened her career at the University of Chile.

Traveling back to her home country with her Otterbein students led Galarce to consider taking the final steps toward becoming a U.S. citizen.

“I had spent over two decades teaching

here in Ohio and consider Columbus my home,” Galarce said. “Every time that I visited Chile with my students, I felt different, disassociated, strange — a sort of foreigner in a familiar territory — until I realized that I had become fully American.

“I was becoming fully invested in U.S. politics. I want to vote, support and defend the way of life here in Columbus, Ohio, and the United States.”

Galarce was helped through the applicaSee GALARCE, page A2

Westerville moved a step closer to its goal of implementing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) for its water and electric divisions last week.

Westerville City Council approved a $10.43-million bond package at its Feb. 15 meeting. Of that, $4.1-million is earmarked for the purchase of digital electric and water meters, or “smart meters” for the city’s commercial and industrial utility consumers, and the infrastructure and software needed to support the meters.

The four separate pieces of bond legislation approved by council included the issuance of $5.8-million in bonds for the Electric Division, to fund the smart meters and their infrastructure, new manholes, conduit and streetlights; $1.1-million to fund smart meters for the Water Division; $2.25-million for the city’s annual street improvements; and $1.28-million to fund land acquisitions and improvements.

In September, council voted down installing smart meters for all water and electrical customers, turning down a $4.3-million federal grant for the $10.7-million cost, following public outcry against the overhaul.

At that time, members of council asked the city staff to look at ways to phase in advanced metering infrastructure, which would

allow the city to read meters and detect outages digitally and allow consumers to monitor their utility consumption.

A handful of residents spoke to city council Feb. 15, once again asking council members to vote down advanced metering infrastructure.

Resident Tim Davy said the smart meters are too costly to be a smart decision for the city. He said the meters cost $240 apiece versus the $40 apiece the city pays for the old style of water and electric meters.

Davy also called a feasibility study on advanced metering infrastructure for the city “flawed,” saying it would take longer for Westerville to reap the financial benefits of the meters than the See SMART METERS, page A2

Hoff Woods expansion

15-acre parkland purchase would cost city $1.5-million

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The city is hoping to add 15 acres to Hoff Woods Park, 556 McCorkle Blvd., to be used for additional sports fields for expanding team programs.

Westerville City Council heard the first reading Feb. 15 of legislation authorizing the purchase of 15 acres adjacent to the 39-acre park’s eastern edge for $1.5-million from Epcon Communities. If approved, the city would pay $1.25-million upfront for the property, and the remaining $250,000 would be credited to Epcon to be used for fees related to separate future developments.

Westerville Department of Parks and Recreation director Randy Auler said the additional land would be used for sports fields.

The lacrosse program and the adult softball program both are unable to grow despite demand because there are not enough sports fields to accommodate them, Auler said. The youth football program also has outgrown its space at Heritage Park, he said.

The additional land at the park would allow for two to four sports fields and a baseball diamond, as well as additional parking. Multiple fields at the park would allow the city to host sports tournaments there, Auler said.

Though the parcel carries a Birch Street address, access to it would be through Hoff Woods Park to reduce the impact on the adjoining neighborhood, Auler said.

The 15-acre parcel was identified as ideal park space in the city’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) plan. The purchase would be paid for by bonds funded through the city’s PROS levy, Auler said. Epcon had originally planned a condominium development on the parcel but approached the city about selling the land last year.

That makes the purchase ideal for the See PARK PURCHASE, page A2 This satellite-image overlay shows the area the city is looking to purchase to expand Hoff Woods Park on McCorkle Boulevard.

In addition to those who joined her at the celebration at the university, Galarce received congratulations from U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi (R-Genoa Township), who sent Galarce a letter accompanied by an American flag that flew over the Ohio Statehouse the day she

PARK PURCHASE Continued from page A1 city, Councilman Larry Jenkins said.

“Not only are we expanding a park that was at capacity, we are taking offline a condo development,” he said.

When the condo development was proposed, Jenkins said, there were concerns about how it would

add to the density of the area.

Though the situation is advantageous for the city, council chairman Mike Heyeck said, if the land is purchased and developed as an expansion to Hoff Woods Park, the city must be careful about any impact that would have on the nearby neighborhood.

“It might be a win-win, but I think residents might be concerned

about lighting, tournaments, things like that,” Heyeck said. “When we develop this, we need to take that into consideration.”

City council will hear two more readings of legislation for the proposed purchase before voting on whether to purchase the property.

study claims.

“The smart meters are way too expensive,” Davy said.

Rod Clay said he was grateful that city council listened to residents last fall and voted the smart meters down. However, the new phase-in plan is still too aggressive, Clay said, citing city staff comments that it would not be feasible for Westerville to maintain two metering systems — smart meters for businesses and the existing system for residences — for more than five years.

“If this is plan B, it also is far too ambitious and aggressive and premature,” Clay said.

Chuck Voigt said it is disingenuous of council to pass funding for the system now when they voted against the meters last fall.

“You guys are actually pretty slick,” Voigt said. “It’s obviously a foregone conclusion. It looks like you’re just trying to keep up appearances and go through the process.”

Councilman Craig Treneff cast the only no-vote for the bonds that would fund smart meters, saying he still thinks the issue is too divisive to the community.

“I voted to withdraw the ordinance last year because I felt it had the potential to divide the city,” Treneff said. “A program like AMI needs public support. … My concern is that we’re still a little premature because I’m not sure that we have enough public acceptance of the program at this time.”

Other city council members said they believe advance metering in-

frastructure makes sense because it helps consumers control their costs by monitoring their energy use, and, they said, it would allow the water and electric divisions to provide better service by helping them to pinpoint power outages or surges in water use that would expose a leaky fixture in someone’s house.

“I do think it works from a dollars-and-cents standpoint,” Councilman Eric Busch said.

Council still will have to vote on legislation for the purchase and implementation of the system, which the city staff is expected to bring forth in April.

If that is approved, the city

would begin installing the meters in August for Westerville’s 3,500 commercial and industrial customers, and for up to 500 residential volunteers who fall within the service area.

Council chairman Mike Heyeck said he thinks approaching commercial and industrial customers and residential volunteers first would allow the system to pilot the advanced metering system and phase it in.

“This implementation is truly a pilot. We don’t want to be too aggressive in implementation,” Heyeck said. “It’s trying out something that’s probably going to take us years to implement.”

Council considers code changes Rules would apply to alternative energy systems, seasonal sales

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Westerville’s planning department presented code changes to city council Feb. 15 that would regulate alternative energy systems and seasonal sales and uses.

The alternative energy code was introduced to council last year after being approved by the Westerville Planning Commission, but was sent back to the commission following changes proposed by council members.

The proposed alternative energy code aims to regulate items such as solar panels, geothermal energy systems, outdoor generators and outdoor furnaces and boilers.

If passed, the code would require any property owner to obtain a permit from the city before installing an alternative energy system. It also puts regulations on setbacks, screening and aesthetics for alternative energy systems and specifies which types of systems are legal and which aren’t.

The code does not prohibit outright any

type of alternative energy system.

The proposed code came about because the planning department began getting questions from property owners about installing the systems, but the city staff had no area of code to refer to for alternative energy systems guidelines.

“This ordinance was just to help us with requests that we had been getting,” city planner Lisa LaMantia said.

Council chairman Mike Heyeck said the city is not taking a stance for or against the use of alternative energy systems.

“This is not an advocacy or non-advocacy of these types of devices. It’s just a regulation knowing that they are going to come,” Heyeck said.

The proposed seasonal use code would regulate sales such as the Boy Scouts’ Uptown pumpkin sale in October, the Uptown farmers markets, Christmas tree lots and outdoor plant nurseries and garden shops in areas zoned R-1, community commercial, Uptown and office institutional.

Like the alternative energy code, the code

for seasonal sales and uses was written because the city lacked any code dealing with those things, LaMantia said.

Westerville has not had any issues with those types of uses, she said, and the code was drafted with current recurring sales in mind.

“We’ve been fortunate that we haven’t had problems in the past with these uses.

The organizations have been very responsible and run these things well,” LaMantia said. “It’s really just to fix holes in our code.”

Under the code, organizers of seasonal events and sales would have to go before the planning commission to obtain a conditional use permit. For annual events, city staff would have the authority to renew permits.

The code changes will be heard by city council two more times, and there will be a public hearing on the proposed code March 15 before council votes on the code.

Blendon Township buys blighted home

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Another blighted Blendon Township property is on its way to being rehabilitated.

The township recently purchased 2622 Clybourne Road.

The 828-square-foot house was foreclosed on, abandoned and dilapidated, township director of development Bryan Rhoads said.

“It’s an eyesore. It’s a bad one,” Rhoads said of the property.

The township purchased the property, valued by the Franklin County Auditor at $21,400, for $8,000 at the end of January.

Rhoads said the mortgage company the township purchased the home from will put that money toward back taxes.

“This mortgage company was just kind of holding it,” he said.

Rhoads said potential buyers already have expressed interest in rehabilitating the property, but if the township is unable to find a buyer for the property with the home in place, it will seek assistance from a Franklin County Treasurer’s Office program to demolish homes.

That program, which will launch this spring, will allow townships to seek help from the treasurer’s office in razing up to two blighted homes.

“Worst-case scenario, we’ll demolish the house,” Rhoads said.

“If we don’t get that sold, we’ll look to participate in that program.”

The Clybourne Road home is the third blighted property the township has looked to rehabilitate within the last two years.

In 2009, the township pur-

chased and demolished a house at 3545 Makassar Drive. It later sold the vacant land for $13,500, and a newly built home now sits on the site.

Also in 2009, the township worked with the Franklin County Treasurer’s Office to tear down a vacant home at 2835 Kilbourne Ave. That property is still held by the same owner, but the home, which Rhoads said attracted squatters, drug users and rodents, no longer is there to draw complaints from neighbors.

Foreclosed homes provide challenges for the township because, in addition to falling into disrepair and causing problems for neighborhoods, it becomes difficult to track down the responsible owners because the deeds get passed from mortgage company

to mortgage company. This was the case with the home on Clybourne Road, Rhoads said.

The properties generally also are left delinquent in their taxes, causing a loss in revenue for townships and the school districts.

In addition to removing an eyesore from the community, the township’s goal in purchasing and demolishing dilapidated properties is to be able to sell them so they can once again be turned into productive, tax-generating properties.

Community center to host art show

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Westerville Department of Parks and Recreation will bring a day of arts activities to the community center, 350 N. Cleveland Ave., Feb. 26.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., there will be an artists’ reception and presentation of awards for Accessible Expressions Ohio, a juried art exhibition featuring works by artists with disabilities from across the state.

The exhibit, which features more than 100 pieces, will be set up at the community center through March 30. It will then travel to other locations throughout the state.

This year marks the third year that Accessible Expressions has begun its statewide tour at the Westerville Community Center, said Phyllis Self, Westerville recreation and operations superintendent.

The show is a good fit for Westerville because the community center has ample hanging space to showcase artists’ works, and it provides a central location to bring together artists from across the state, she said.

Self, who helped bring the show to Ohio after sitting on the Accessible Expressions board, said

the exhibition shows a variety of works from artists of all ages and ability levels.

“The work is just absolutely unbelievable. It’s just so unique and it’s so different. There’s just some of everything,” Self said. “It also just shares with the public what people can do. I think that’s the thing that has attracted me to it.”

For artists with disabilities, the community center will host a workshop on pricing and selling their works and on how to get their works into other art shows.

“It’s mainly so we can give people a little more self-confidence, make sure their work is viewed on a more professional level,” Self said.

The workshop is open to any artist with a disability; it is not limited to artists who have works in the show.

Those who are interested in participating in the workshop, which costs $20, should call VSA Ohio at (614) 241-5325.

The fourth annual Sights and Sounds Art Festival is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 26.

The free arts festival will provide residents of all ages with hands-on activities, allowing people to create pieces they can take home with them. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

As It were

Industry makes slow but steady progress in the city In the years before the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861, Columbus, the capital of the state of Ohio, was more than the symbolic center of state power and authority.

Created by the Ohio General Assembly to be the new capital city in 1812, the town had grown very slowly at first and as late as 1830, only had little more than 2,000 residents. Then the National Road and Ohio Canal reached central Ohio and by 1834, Columbus was a city of 5,000 people.

But even that new and bustling city seemed to make most of its money in transportation and trade.

Reading of the men who were the early successes in Columbus enterprise, one comes away with the distinct impresED sion that the LENTZ best way to earn money was to serve the Ohio General Assembly with room and board, move people and products from place to place, or meet the needs of the people who did such things.

A few examples might suffice to illustrate this point. William Neil came to Columbus in 1818 and soon got into the stagecoach business. Leaving his wife to run a small tavern across from the Statehouse, Neil would eventually build an empire on wheels and become known as the “Stagecoach King.�

Lincoln Goodale was a practicing physician who found that there was not a lot of demand for doctors in the new town. He eventually opened a store and made a lot of money. As a gesture of gratitude to his adopted town, he gave Columbus its first park — Goodale Park.

And then there was Alfred Kelley. Representing Cleveland and then Columbus in the legislature, Kelley also found time to ensure the completion of the Ohio Canal, the reform of Ohio’s banks and the construction of more than one railroad.

If we add to these examples the stories of bankers such as David Deshler and lawyers such as Orris Parish, one might conclude that Columbus was a place where people made their money providing services rather than making things.

And this would be true — but only partly true.

Like most capital cities across America, most of the economic

history of the city is the story of a highly diversified economy with some people working in government, others in trade and still others in transportation. And composing another significant part of the workforce were people employed in manufacturing.

When Columbus was an isolated frontier village, many of the goods people needed and could not make themselves were purchased from local craftsmen — the blacksmith, the gunsmith, the miller and that old frontier standby, the whisky distiller. But with the arrival of the Ohio Canal in the 1830s and railroads in the 1850s, it became possible to import raw materials such as iron and timber to a central place like Columbus and ship finished products from that place to a waiting world.

It was not long before a number of people began to do just that.

Most early factories in Columbus were relatively small in size and employed dozens rather than hundreds of workers in a few sturdy buildings. It was no accident that most of them soon came to be located near a ready source of water — the Scioto River.

The kind of products made by these early factories says something about the needs of the people of central Ohio. The oldest successful manufacturing company in Columbus was begun in 1822 by a man named Joseph Ridgway.

Initially using horses to provide power to his foundry, Ridgway began to produce Jethro Wood’s Patent Plow. It was later said of Ridgway by a local writer in the 1850s that â€œâ€Ś he made and sold an immense number. It was considered the best plow in use.â€?

In 1830, Ridgway joined with a nephew to finance the conversion of his factory to steam power and begin the production of machinery, steam engines, cast iron stoves and other products. In 1849,

the Ridgways joined with a man named Pearl Kimball in a new business making railroad cars.

Joseph Ridgway died in 1850 and Kimball later operated the car company on his own. Ridgway’s foundry business passed in 1854 to another entrepreneur, Peter Hayden.

Hayden had come to Columbus in the 1830s and begun a number of enterprises. He started a business making saddles and other equipment for horses, using the labor of prisoners at the nearby Ohio Penitentiary. At the same time, he opened his own foundry producing bar iron, hoop iron and wire from pig iron and scrap iron.

Eventually, Hayden and his family would also invest heavily in the coal and iron fields of southeastern Ohio.

In 1838, John Gill and others built Gill’s Foundry with about 25 workers on the west side of the Scioto and developed a good business making stoves and other iron goods. In 1855, the company began making a combination steel plow that sold quite well and later began making railroad cars as well.

In 1849, Charles Ambos and James Lennox started the Eagle Foundry with $8,000. When the business was sold in 1854, the foundry became a joint stock company under the name of the Columbus Machine Manufacturing Co. Employing more than 125 men, it provided the iron for the roof of the new Statehouse as well as all of the iron ceilings and railings in the building.

And while all of this was going on, other factories were making other sorts of goods. Two men named Brotherlin and Halm began producing chairs and cabinetware by steam-powered machinery in 1853. Another company began making wooden hollowware — tubs and pails, primarily — in a factory along the river in 1856.

By 1858, there were others. A local description reported that they included Ohlen and Drake’s steampowered saw factory, Hines and Miller’s steam-powered paper mill, and Butlers’ coffee- and spicegrinding mill. And almost as an afterthought, the author noted that there were “two extensive breweries at the south end of the city.�

All of these enterprises contributed importantly to the success of Columbus. In all, they employed several hundred men, many of them recent immigrants from Ireland and Germany who worked alongside recent arrivals — black and white — from rural Ohio.

These new factories formed the beginnings of industry in Columbus and a pattern of industrial growth and success that has continued to the present day.

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen THE “COCKTAIL PARTY EFFECT�

Scientists have long wondered how the brain is able to pick out one speaker’s voice in voice -filled rooms. This phenomenon known as the “cocktail party effect� enables us to carry on a conversation in loud environments. Recently, research involving birds has provided some important clues. To find out how zebra finches pick out one voice in a cacophonous crowd, scientists studied their brains while the birds listened to audio recordings. This work led to the discovery of individual brain cells that, in a sense, acted like dogs listening for their master’s voice. Other cells scanned long stretches of sound looking for a particular vocal feature.

If human brains have similar cells, it may lead to advances in hearing instrument technologies.

People who have normal hearing in both ears - known as binaural hearing - are better able to hear well in noisy environments, since the brain uses the information received from each ear to localize a sound source.

Chamber: Artists needed for 38th annual festival

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Planning has started for the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2011 Music and Arts Festival, and the chamber is looking for artists to fill Heritage Park and Everal Barn.

This 38th annual festival will be from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. July 9 and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 10. The festival generally brings about 150 artists to show and sell their work in Westerville, the chamber said.

Each year, the festival, which features artist exhibits, live entertainment and concessions, attracts about 20,000 visitors.

Artists are needed for the Heritage section, which features artists dressed in period costume who demonstrate their crafts, and for the Westerville walkway, which features local artists.

The chamber also is seeking entrants in the fine arts category, which includes acrylics, graphics, mixed media, oil paintings, pastels, watercolors and photography, as well as in the fine crafts category, which includes baskets, ceramics, dolls, fiber, glass, metal, jewelry, leather, sculpture and wood.

The festival only accepts work by the artists themselves and does not permit those selling imports, home-style crafts, manufactured beads, kits or craft supplies.

To be considered for the festival, artists must complete an application and submit five digital im-

ages — four of their works and one of their booth.

There is also a nonrefundable $20 jury fee.

The applications and images are reviewed by the chamber’s jury committee.

Applications are available at www.westervillechamber.com/festival and must be sent to the chamber by March 18.

The festival also includes a competition for youth artists, ages 3 to 18. There is a $5 entry fee for each piece of work, with a limit of five works per artist.

The categories for the youth art show include oil painting, acrylic painting, watercolor, charcoal, tempera painting, pastels, black-and-white pencil drawing, color pencil drawing, pen and ink, ceramics, sculpture, mixed media, weaving, calligraphy, black-and-white photography and color photography.

Youth artists have until June 27 to submit applications, which also are available on the chamber’s website.

The chamber’s website also includes applications for civic groups interested in setting up informational booths at the festival.

For more information about the festival, visit the chamber website or contact Lindsay Brown via e-mail at festival@westervillechamber.com or by phone at (614) 882-8917.

Entertainers interested in performing at the festival can contact Brown.

Genoa creates reserve fund ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Genoa Township trustees approved the initial deposit into the recently created reserve balance account, also known as a rainyday fund.

At their Feb. 14 meeting, trustees approved a deposit of $250,000 from the general fund carryover balance into the fund.

Documents from Delaware County auditor George Kaitsa’s office provided by the township show the unencumbered carryover balance for the general fund to be $2.1-million on Jan.1.

The township’s fiscal audit committee recommended that the trustees establish the account, which is a sub-account of the general fund.

The account would be used to stabilize any part of the township’s budget or for anything deemed an emergency by the trustees.

For instance, if there were a decrease in property values and a subsequent decrease in property tax revenue, the township could use the fund to help make up the difference, said fiscal officer

Patrick Myers.

“If we needed $100,000 five years from now, we could go here and get it. Anything that is deemed an emergency by the board of trustees — it doesn’t matter whether it’s for fire, police, maintenance, ... or capital expense — anything that is deemed an emergency,” said Myers.

It would take the actions of the trustees to appropriate the money from the fund into another fund, from which it would be spent, said trustee Karl Gebhardt, board liaison to the fiscal committee.

“Money is not spent from this fund; it would have to be moved to another fund to be spent,” Gebhardt said. “It requires us as trustees, as well as the administration, to think hard about spending that money because it is there for an emergency. We would budget ‘X’ amount of money every year to go into that account.”

“To set something aside is a wise thing to do,” said trustee Barbara Lewis.

Trustee Rick Carfagna agreed.

The annual deposits will not exceed 5 percent of the annual general fund revenues, which are

permitted by law to be used on any township expense, Myers said.

The auditor’s document estimates the township will receive $2-million in general fund revenues.

The target balance for the reserve fund will be 20 percent of the total annual expenditures of the township, Myers said, adding that it will never exceed that.

Documents from the township’s 2011 appropriation discussions show the overall expenses of the township estimated to be $13-million.

Each year the trustees would review it and decide on a deposit for the coming year. bbutcher@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Northland’s Helping Hands expands hours, services

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In seeking to make an investment in the physical and mental, as well as spiritual, wellbeing of Northland residents, a consortium of Catholic churches in the area has settled upon the Helping Hands Health and Wellness Center free clinic as the best recipient for between $40,000 and $50,000 in each of the next three years.

The infusion of cash from the Northland Deanery of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus will enable the clinic to expand upon the “wellness” aspect of its name, according to executive director Joyce Bourgault.

“What we’re going to be doing is more social services as well as counseling,” she said.

“We basically settled on the Helping Hands clinic because no matter what happens with the health care issue with the federal government … there’s going to be a need for people without health insurance to get health care,” said the Rev. Charles Clinger of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Westerville, one of seven parishes in the deanery. “We thought that this was a great program that was already in place and that this would be something that was filling a very big need in our neighborhood, broadly defined ‘neighborhood.’ ” Members of the Ascension Lutheran Church voted to sign a contract with the Helping Hands Health and Wellness Center board last week to permit use of the Haimerl Center on Morse Road on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, according to Bourgault.

This will enable clinic volunteers, she said, to provide additional hours of service, as well as expand the services offered to include things like job training and even some mental health counseling for those dealing with depression or anxiety — often outgrowths of being poor and without health insurance.

Those participating in the clinic’s expanded offerings don’t have to be current patients, the executive director pointed out, but must meet the same threshold of being within 200 percent of poverty guidelines and lack-

ing health insurance.

The clinic, which begin operations just under four years ago, was founded by members of Ascension Lutheran and a few other Northland-area churches.

As many as 40 churches from different denominations have come on board since.

Add to that the Northland Deanery, which includes St. Anthony, St. Elizabeth, St. James the Less and St. Matthias in Columbus, St. John Neumann in Sunbury, Church of the Resurrection in New Albany and St.

Paul in Westerville.

“This really is an ecumenical venture,” Rev. Clinger said.

“They came to us; we didn’t go seeking them out,” Bourgault said. “They came to us and said ‘We like what you’re doing, we’d really like to help you out.’ ” The pledge of funding that will permit the Helping Hands Health and Wellness expansion of hours and services results from talks that began several years ago within the Northland Deanery, according to Clinger.

“We started discussing how

we might make on impact on the area … to do some good, some Christian charity in the area,” he said.

After exploring the idea of having the Catholic churches start their own operation, Clinger said that a committee formed to come up with suggestions for helping the hurting within the Northland Deanery settled upon the existing free clinic as the proper vehicle.

“It was a very fruitful process that we went through that helped us to see that what was already there was something we want-

ed to enhance and put our prestige behind as a Catholic community,” Clinger said.

“We’re encompassing a lot of different areas for people’s emotional, physical and spiritual health,” Bourgault said. “We’ve wanted to do this from the very beginning.

“God has provided wonderful things. It’s just incredible how people have come to us offering things to help.”

In addition to the financial investment over the next three calendar years, Clinger said that members of the parishes within the Northland Deanery will be encouraged to volunteer at the free clinic.

“That’s part of what we’re going to do as part of our commitment,” he said. “We also are going to be encouraging our people to help out with their time and talent.”

“It’s all part of God’s plan,” Bourgault said. “All I can say is the miracles that are happening over and over again, it’s all from people praying about it and God just blessing us.”

Details of when job training assistance and mental health counselors will be available are being worked out, the clinic executive director said.

She offered heartfelt thanks to members of Ascension Lutheran Church for making the Haimerl Center available more often and added that new hours and expanded services will mean a need for additional volunteers.

Swimming & Diving

State not in doubt for South’s Higdon

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Throughout the season, Westerville South High School sophomore Jared Higdon wondered if he could qualify for the Division I state swimming and diving meet.

It turned out that there was no reason for doubt.

Higdon qualified in two events by placing second in the 100-yard butterfly (51.81 seconds) and fourth in the 200 individual medley (1:56.52) at the

district meet on Feb. 19 at Ohio State.

“There were dual meets where I wasn’t doing as well as I thought I would be doing,” said Higdon, who is seeded 10th in the 100 fly and 15th in the 200 IM. “But I knew at the end of the season I was throwing out some pretty good times and I wasn’t tapered yet.”

Westerville Central was 10th (93 points), South was 14th (62) and North was 21st (15) behind champion Upper Arlington (432.5) in the boys district meet. In the girls meet, the Warhawks were fourth (198), the Wildcats placed

12th (77) and the Warriors finished 16th (36) behind the first-place Golden Bears (505).

Higdon will be part of a large group of Westerville swimmers at the Division I state meet Thursday, Feb. 24, through Saturday, Feb. 26, at Canton’s C.T. Branin Natatorium. Preliminaries for the swimming events are Friday and the finals are Saturday.

At district, the top three finishers in each swimming event and the top four divers automatically advanced to state.

Additionally, 11 at-large berths were

given out in each swimming event based on times statewide.

Higdon will be joined by Riley Buer, who placed second in the 100 breaststroke (1:05.18) behind Dublin Coffman’s Nichole Gill (1:04.98) in the girls district meet. Buer, who tied Loveland’s Sammie Wheeler for 12th in the 100 breast (1:07.48) at state last year, is seeded eighth.

“Our kids swam well today. We had some big time drops and we had some where the kids expected to drop more but still had a nice drop,” South coach

Kevin Kissling said.

•The Central girls advanced four girls in seven individual events and all three of its relays.

All but two of the Warhawks’ state qualifiers advanced with at-large berths.

“Making it to states means everything, especially with this being my senior year,” said Taylor Schwartz, who placed fourth in the 200 free (1:53.67) and fifth in the 100 back (58.3). “I dropped nearly eight seconds from my See SWIM, page B3

Behind a sensational performance from guard Morgan Neighbors, the Westerville South High School girls basketball team won its first Division I district tournament game in three seasons.

With guard Erica Aiello playing through illness, Neighbors took up the offensive slack. She scored 32 points to lead the Wildcats to a 52-39 victory over Teays Valley on Feb. 19 at Hamilton Township in the first round of the Division I district tournament.

“She played phenomenal,” coach Silas Williams said. “She had a couple of games like that in the beginning of the season.

Going into that game, it was one of those games that I thought was pretty even.”

It was Neighbors’ second 30point game of the season. She had 34 in a 59-53 win over Olentangy Liberty on Dec. 3.

The Wildcats improved to 812 and will play Brookhaven at 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25 at Hilliard Davidson. Teays Valley finished 15-4.

The sixth-seeded Bearcats are led by Indiana State recruit Travecia Franklin, a guard who averages 8.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

The Bearcats’ other Division I-signees, guard Briana Holmes (Marist) and forward Marah Morris (Indiana State), are out.

Morris sustained a seasonending injury in December and Holmes was ruled ineligible on Jan. 21.

At the time Holmes was leading the team in scoring at 14.5 points per game.

“They’re going to be a tough out, and they have the advantage of being able to watch us,” Williams said. “Hopefully we can get something on them. We have a better shot with (Holmes) not being in there.”

The winner plays at 8 p.m.

March 2 at Olentangy Liberty against fourth-seeded Watterson or Pickerington Central. The Wildcats did not play either team during the regular season.

Central defeated Walnut Ridge 78-13 in the first round of the district tournament to improve to 11-10. The Eagles were 173 after defeating Whetstone 6522 on Feb. 19.

The Wildcats’ last tournament victory was 44-42 over Independence in a first-round game on Feb. 9, 2008.

•The boys basketball team lost its first regular-season game in two years, dropping the season finale to Olentangy Liberty 66-64 on Feb. 18.

South was 2-for-15 shooting from the 3-point line and didn’t have the defensive energy it had in a 68-33 win over the Patriots on Jan. 14.

The Westerville Central High School girls basketball team earned its first postseason win since the 2007-08 season with a 56-39 victory over Briggs in a Division I district tournament first-round game on Feb. 16 at Hamilton Township.

It also was the first postseason victory for coach Doug Etgen in his three seasons at Central.

“I was happy for the five seniors,” Etgen said. “They were excited.”

The Warhawks were 10-11 overall before playing seventhseeded Gahanna in the second round on Feb. 23. The winner plays eighth-seeded Newark or Thomas Worthington in a district semifinal at 8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 28, at Olentangy Liberty.

Against Briggs, Central broke open a close game by outscoring the Bruins 30-17 in the second half.

“Briggs kind of surprised us and came out in a zone, which I wasn’t expecting so much. But once we got adjusted to it, I thought we did a good job of sharing the basketball and making that extra pass,” Etgen said.

“We just made some adjustments at halftime. Adjustments not only against the zone, but we tried to get our transition offense involved a little bit more, which creates major opportunities for us and luckily we got some breathing room.”

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Westerville Central boys and girls basketball teams: BOYS Feb. 15 — Defeated Grove City 6956. Nick Vannett led the Warhawks with 20 points. *Feb. 18 — Def. Dublin Jerome 5755 (2OT) Feb. 22 — Played 12th-seeded Mount Vernon in first round of Division I district tournament.

Rhodes paves way for North boys team

By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Matt Rhodes has adjusted quite well to his new role for the Westerville North High School boys basketball team.

In his two previous varsity seasons, the 6-foot-5 junior forward had been a complementary player to 2010 graduates Kenny DeBoer, Ralph Hill and Bradley Nettles.

But this season, Rhodes has taken on a leadership role, helping the Warriors finish the regular season at 15-5 overall.

“Last year, I was definitely more of a role player and now I have to score more in order for us to win,” Rhodes said. “I definitely want the ball in my hands at the end of the game, just like Kenny, Ralph and Brad did last season.”

Through 20 games, Rhodes was averaging 17.0 points and had made 54 3-pointers. Last year, he averaged six points.

“Matt has had an outstanding year,” coach Kevin Thuman said. “After last year, we told him we wanted him to also be able to put the ball on the floor and drive off the dribble and he has been able to do that for us. He has stepped up to be all we have asked of him.”

In a 71-54 win over Olentangy in the regular season and OCC-Cardinal Division finale on Feb. 18, Rhodes scored 15 points with three 3-pointers and Jack Gibbs led with 16 points. Taivion Thomas had 12 points, Garrett Lieb scored 10, Adrian Cook had eight and Drake Jackson added seven.

“When I hit 3s, it opens things up on the inside and gives us more ways to score,” Rhodes said.

Westerville South won the OCC-CarSee SOUTH, page B4 dinal title at 13-1, with North, Olentangy

Liberty and Westerville Central tied for second at 10-4. Dublin Jerome and Dublin Scioto tied for fifth at 4-10, followed by Olentangy at 3-11 and Marysville at 212.

The Warriors opened Division I district play Feb. 23 against Marysville. The winner plays Beechcroft or Brookhaven in the second round at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, at Worthington Christian Middle School.

Brookhaven was 10-10 before Feb. 23.

North beat the Bearcats 71-61 on Jan. 15 as Gibbs scored 21 points, Thomas had 17 and Rhodes added 14.

Beechcroft was 12-8 overall before Feb. 23 and did not play North this season.

Warriors’ Herrera driven to reach next step

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Westerville North High School senior wrestler Joe Herrera recalls the disappointment of finishing sixth at the Division I district tournament last season and failing to earn a berth for the state tournament.

Herrera hopes to atone for that at the district tournament on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25-26, at Hilliard Darby.

Herrera earned a district berth after winning the Westland sectional at 112 pounds on Feb. 19.

Herrera improved to 23-5 after pinning three opponents on his way to the title, capped by pin of Reynoldsburg’s Greg Chang (1 minute, 34 seconds) in the final.

“During the early matches, I knew what was going to happen. I knew I was going to win,” Herrera said. “In the finals, I had beaten Chang before during a junior varsity tournament my sophomore year, and I was pretty confident even though he took me down first.”

Last season, Herrera won the Watkins Memorial sectional at 103 pounds but went 2-3 at district.

“I am very confident,” Herrera said.

“Hopefully this year is a lot better. Last year it crushed me a little bit because I didn’t make it and I put in a lot of work. This year if you don’t make it, it’s over forever, so I definitely want to make it.”

North finished second (145 points) in the 13-team field behind first-place Lancaster (180).

The Warriors’ other district qualifiers are Ryan Ouzts at 130 (23-2) and Stephen Alger (20-8) at 135, who were second at sectional; Mitch Cousins

(24-10) at heavyweight, who was third; and Trey Fisher (21-9) at 145, who was fourth.

The top four in each weight class advance to the state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State.

“We’re not happy,” North coach David Grant said. “We should have done a lot better. This will give us a chance to get the guys ready for a big weekend.”

that bout, and try to do my best next week and try to make it to state,” Brown said. “He’s very tough. I worked out with him in the offseason. He’s very lengthy. He uses his height very well.

He’s very strong and he has very good leverage.”

Goosby (16-21) and Duffy (25-15) each finished fourth.

The Warhawks finished 10th (84.5).

•South’s Caleb Llaneza a (135) and Logan Michel (145) finished third at the Marysville sectional to extend their seasons.

Llaneza, a freshman, improved to 20-10, Michel, a senior, moved to 359.

“We had two district qualifiers and both kids wrestled amazingly,” said coach Tim Michel, Logan’s father. “We talked all week and all day Saturday about going non-stop for six minutes and that is exactly what it took to make it to district.”

Senior Ryan Meyers (32-11) finished fifth at 140, and is an alternate for district.

South finished 11th (62.5) in the 13team field behind first-place Hilliard Davidson (239.5).

“We’re absolutely happy,” coach Michel said. “We always want more kids to get through sectionals and advance to districts, but this is the year over year improvement that we were looking for. The majority of our kids are young and have never been to sectionals. Having more matches and experience can make the difference in a key match. With a little more mat time and matches to increase our experience, I see many of our kids advancing forward in the coming years.”

Duffey (171) and Pat McNabb (heavyweight).

Brown (41-5) and McNabb (37-5) each finished second at the Westland sectional.

Second-seeded Brown lost to Central Crossing’s top-seeded Ryan Pickett 12-5, and top-seeded McNabb was pinned by Lancaster’s Kevin Miller (2:00).

Brown is looking forward to a potential rematch with Pickett at district.

•While the Westerville Central girls team successfully defended its sectional title at Wayne Webb’s, Briggs was celebrating its first district berth in its three-year history.

The Warhawks won the sectional with a score of 3,574, followed by Olentangy Liberty (3,243), Gahanna (3,232), Cardington (3,132), Groveport (2,979) and Briggs (2,903).

Central, which finished second to Youngstown Boardman at state last season after losing 3-1 in the best-of-five final, has its sights set on putting together another successful postseason.

“The regular season is all about getting ready for the postseason, because this is where you get everything you worked for,” Central coach Julie Wells said. “I think this team is ready. It’s hard work out there, but we still came in first and by a significant number. The conditions were that you’re not going to score a lot, but you just have to score more than everybody that’s here.”

Liberty coach Linda Ridolfo also hopes for a strong postseason, as the Patriots seek their first state tournament berth.

“The goal was to get out of the sectional,” Ridolfo said. “Westerville Central is an excellent team. You obviously want to bowl with the better bowlers.”

Briggs went 8-3 in the COHSBC-South and 10-6 overall in the regular season.

“We have a good group of girls and they’re young,” Bruins coach Mario Jackson said. “There isn’t a senior on the team and we’re trying to build the program to go further each year. We’re getting a head start on it this year.”

Qualifying individually for the sectional were Thomas Worthington’s Maggie Taylor (511), Olentangy Orange’s Rachel Bartram (499), Circleville’s Macie Sawyer (475), Orange’s Kaitlin Milburn (466), Bradley’s Alicia Wolfe (455) and Watterson’s Alexa Gainer (451).

At the Eastland sectional, Westerville South finished first (3,531), with Buckeye Valley (3,486), Whitehall (3,373), Delaware (3,194), Newark (3,177) and Sparta Highland (3,135) also advancing.

“We figured coming in that we would be one of the top six,” South coach Jamie West said.

“Our goal was to get to the next level, and they bowled pretty well.”

Qualifying individually from the sectional were Chillicothe’s Summer Finley (584), Ready’s Allison Lichwa (583), Northland’s Bradishia Foster (516), Pickerington Central’s Sarah Grim (492), Brookhaven’s Maddison Morris (470) and Beechcroft’s Nellie Jones (464).

At the Tiki Lanes sectional, Zanesville (3,559) was first, with New Lexington (3,460), Maysville (3,454), Mount Gilead (3,434), Fisher Catholic (3,416) and Elgin (3,273) also advancing.

The individual qualifiers were Jonathan Alder’s Ashley Thomas (543), Chillicothe Zane Trace’s Sarah Endres (532), Logan’s Christi Castle (523), Logan Elm’s Tiffanie Harmon (508), Utica’s Jenny Bricker (499) and Westerville North’s Megan Patterson (491).

The Hartley High School boys bowling team will look to build on the first sectional title in program history when it competes in the district tournament on Saturday, Feb. 26, at HP Lanes.

The top three teams and top three individuals not on a qualifying team advance to the state tournament, which will be at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl. The boys will compete March 5 and the girls will compete March 4.

Hartley won the sectional championship on Feb. 18 at Eastland Lanes with a score of 4,231, ahead of runner-up Westerville South (4,174).

Also qualifying for district from the sectional were Groveport (4,052), Brookhaven (3,996), Whitehall (3,830) and Granville (3,751).

The top six teams and top six individuals not on a qualifying team from each of the three sectionals advanced to district.

“We’ve been bowling pretty good all year, so I was pretty confident,” Hartley coach Dennis Backus said. “I told the guys that they are ready to take it to the next level. We’ve always been just good enough to get to the next round, but I told them I want to win this sectional. I told them they were ready to do it.”

Senior Nick Owens led Hartley with a 681 series and sophomore William Ball had a 586.

Hartley won the Central Ohio High School Bowling Conference-Central Division at 13-0 and finished the regular season 16-0 overall.

Last season, the Hawks reached the state tournament, finishing 12th behind champion Springfield Kenton Ridge.

“It would be great,” Backus said of the possibility of earning another state berth. “It would mean a lot to the school.”

Qualifying individually for district from the Eastland sectional were Northland’s Trent Ranson (632), Buckeye Valley’s Michael Davenport (610), Worthington Christian’s Ben Smith (593), Teays Valley’s Nick Evans (585), Delaware’s Ray Getz (584) and Independence’s Lamont Venable (582).

At the sectional at Wayne Webb’s, Jonathan Alder (4,056) finished first, with Circleville (3,922), Big Walnut (3,881), Westerville Central (3,834), Gahanna (3,759) and Hilliard Bradley (3,719) also advancing to district.

Qualifying individually for district were Walnut Ridge’s Wayne Russell (648), Pickerington North’s Brittany Beeghley (632), Newark’s Jon Sears (612), Chillicothe Unioto’s Dallas Johnson (612), Walnut Ridge’s Brandon Dye (585) and Hilliard Davidson’s Jacob Costin (582).

Beeghley is competing with boys because North does not have a girls team.

At the Tiki Lanes sectional, Utica (4,013) finished first, with Zanesville Maysville (3,992), Zanesville (3,866), Mount Gilead (3,808), Lancaster (3,695) and Marion Elgin (3,640) also advancing.

“I remember when I made it as a freshman. It was awesome to be there with all these upperclassmen,” Schwartz said.

“Now it’s my turn at being one of those upperclassmen. Hopefully, I’ll bring my ‘A’ game.”

•North junior Erick Bey left district knowing he needed to spend more time in the pool.

He finished 14th in the 50 free (22.59) and 11th in the 100 free (49.28).

“It tells me where I need to be for next year. I know how much more I have to improve so I can place higher next year and go to states,” Bey said. “I’m going to be doing a lot of practicing, lifting and working out

DeSales Roundup

CCL title streak ends for boys team

By JEREMY STEWART

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The DeSales High School boys basketball team fell short in its bid to win at least a share of a sixth consecutive CCL title.

The Stallions were held without a point for nearly six minutes early in the game Feb. 18 against Watterson, and the Eagles capitalized en route to a 60-48 win.

DeSales had beaten Watterson 13 consecutive times.

DeSales trailed 19-7 after not scoring in the final 5 minutes, 47 seconds of the first quarter.

“It’s sort of been a story for us all year,” coach Blair Albright said. “We’ve been through some scoring lulls and when we can’t score, we can’t do all the other things we try to do. We’re not able to apply our pressure. We’re not able to dictate tempo. You have a tendency to carry the frustration to the other things you’re doing and it has a tendency to really snowball.”

DeSales finished the regular season with a 14-6 record, including 6-2 in the CCL. Hartley won the CCL at 7-1. DeSales was second, followed by Watterson (4-4), St. Charles (3-5) and Ready (0-8).

Albright said his team might have been pressing against Watterson because of the intense environment. The stakes will be high again on Saturday, Feb. 26, as the Stallions open Division II district tournament play against the winner of the Feb. 22 firstround game between Licking Valley and London.

Licking Valley entered the firstround game 7-13 after losing to Utica 47-42 on Feb. 19. London fell to 5-13 after losing to Hillsboro 48-37 on Feb. 18.

The second-round winner plays seventh-seeded Eastmoor Academy, Caledonia River Valley or Whitehall in a district semifinal at 6 p.m. March 4 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum.

“We really have to come out understanding when we’re in most pressure situations that simple is better,” Albright said. “I always say simple is smart. I think our inexperience has showed a little bit in (high-pressure) settings. It’s never for a lack of playing hard. We lose our focus for

East.

Payton Gutierrez is seeking his second trip to the state tournament in as many seasons after winning the Licking Heights sectional at 103 pounds on Feb. 19.

Ian Ferguson won the title at 152 as the Stallions came in third (158.5) behind champion Licking Valley (222.5) and Canal Winchester (209).

“I was happy with what we did,” coach Dennis Lyberger said.

“We could have had a couple more get through. We had a couple of kids that ended up losing matches that they were ahead.”

District qualifiers were Jason Allen (145, 2-1, second), R.J. Ball (215, 2-2, fourth), Ferguson (152, 4-0, first), Gutierrez (103, 3-0, first), R.J. Martin (135, 2-1, fourth), Tony Moore (189, 3-1, third) and Lee Wilson (125, 3-1, second).

The top four in each weight class advance to state March 35 at Ohio State.

•The gymnastics team is looking to win its seventh district title in eight years at the district meet at Worthington Kilbourne on Saturday, Feb. 26.

DeSales won last year’s district meet with 135.325 points as Thomas Worthington finished second (133.375).

The top three teams and eight individuals in each event, including the all-around, advance to the state meet March 4-5 at Hilliard Bradley.

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the DeSales boys basketball, girls basketball, gymnastics, hockey, swimming and wrestling teams: BOYS BASKETBALL *Feb. 18 — Lost to Watterson 60-48.

sure, but physical effort hasn’t been a problem for us in games.”

•Cooper Staton of the boys swimming and diving team looks to defend his Division II state title in the 50-yard freestyle at the state meet, which began with the diving competition on Feb. 23.

The swimmers compete in preliminaries Thursday, Feb. 24, with finals the following day.

“To me, it’s all kind of a tossup once we get there,” coach J.R. Fourqurean said. “It’s kind of an even playing field. You try not to let the magnitude of the event overwhelm you. Everything has been done at this point. It’s just who wants it.”

Staton, who won the 50 free in 20.98 seconds last year, is seeded third after finishing second (20.96) at district on Feb. 18 at Ohio State behind Canal Winchester’s Sam Decker (20.85).

Staton was the lone individual swimming qualifier for DeSales.

The boys team finished sixth (131) at district behind champion Granville (256).

Andrea Devakul advanced in the 100 backstroke after coming in fifth (1:00.74) at district behind Hartley’s Taylor Shotwell (58.77). Suzanne Hrabowy advanced to state after finishing second in the 100 free (52.99) behind Granville’s Lori Davis (52.85). She also was fourth in the 100 butterfly (58.97) behind

Community briefs Residents to showcase talent, raise money

Band to perform children’s concert

Westerville’s young performers will showcase their talents Feb. 26 while raising money for two local charities.

Westerville’s Leo Club will hold its second annual “Westerville’s Got Talent” competition at 7 p.m. Feb. 26 in the auditorium of Westerville South High School, 303 S. Otterbein Ave. Performers will range in age from 9 to 20 and will include singers, musicians and magicians, among other acts. They will compete for first place and $150. Tickets to the show cost $5, and there will be raffles and refreshments.

Proceeds from the event will be split between the Westervilla Area Resource Ministry and Westerville’s community-sponsored Honor Flight.

The Westerville Concert Band will present its annual children’s concert at 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, in the commons at Westerville South High School, 303 S. Otterbein Ave. The program will demonstrate each instrument in the 80-member band. The band performs under the direction of Richard Suddendorf and assistant conductor Jennifer Cabral Hever.

Selections will include works by John Philip Sousa, Engelbert Humperdinck and John Williams.

Children will have the opportunity to see instruments up close following the concert, during the instrument “petting zoo.”

Admission is free. Groups are welcome.

For more information, visit www.westervillebands.org or call Ralph Denick at 882-9071.

Teacher receives Ashland U. award Catherine Monteiro of Westerville has been named Ashland University’s Outstanding Graduate Professional Educator for the university’s Columbus Center.

Monteiro received a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction with a content focus in literacy during winter commencement ceremonies.

The university selects and honors one graduate student from each center at commencement.

For six years, Monteiro has taught second and third grade at Emerson Elementary School in Westerville. Originally a juvenile public defender, she left the legal profession to become a teacher after seeing repeatedly that the only person to appear in court on behalf of a child was a teacher.

Cindy Bowman, an associate professor of education at AU’s Columbus Center, said in a news release Monteiro is “an inspiration to new teachers, a breath of fresh air to veteran teachers and a gift to her students and their families.”

LOOKING FOR A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE?

Opera Theatre is ‘Out of the Box’ Otterbein University’s Opera Theatre program will present “Opera Out of the Box” at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25 and 26, in the Battelle Fine Arts Center’s Riley Auditorium, 170 W. Park St. The performance will feature three pieces: an abridged version of Donizetti’s “Don Pasquale;” Act II of “La Boheme” and the premiere of Dennis Davenport’s one-act opera, “First Encounters: Isak Dinesen Meets Marilyn Monroe.”

The program is open to the public. Tickets, $10 general admission; $8 for Otterbein faculty and staff; and $5 for students, are available at the door or by calling (614) 823-1508 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Chinaberry tree was, for a time, a popular, low-budget tree used for ornamental purposes, most often in the southern United States.

Singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell recalled how the trees lined the housing development in the Houston neighborhood in which he grew up — a significant enough memory that he named his new book, a memoir of sorts, Chinaberry Sidewalks.

“The book is not at all about Rodney Crowell the songwriter,” he said. “It’s about my childhood growing up in Houston.

“It’s mostly about the arc of my parents’ marriage,” he said. “My mother and father were the son and daughter of sharecroppers, with seventh/eighth grade educations. They migrated to Houston, and lived in a housing development where a lot of that workforce lived. The place was landscaped with Chinaberry trees, which had these green berries. As kids, we used to have Chinaberry wars.”

Crowell said he was deliberate in moving the content of the book away from his career as a singer and songwriter — a career that has seen him boast hit records and have his songs recorded by countless artists, including Waylon Jennings, Alan Jackson, Crystal Gayle, Heart, Keith Urban, Bob Seger, the Oak Ridge Boys, Tim McGraw and more.

The book, he said, is not merely a companion piece to his records for fans.

“There are stories (in the book) about music, but only as it applies as part of my environment,” Crowell added, explaining that he didn’t feel a book of stories about his career “was going to garner a readership.”

“I don’t want to sound insulting to the loyalty of my fans, but I don’t think of myself as an iconic star,” Crowell said. “I was going to sustain a relationship with readers with my ability to tell stories.

Crowell is hardly shelving his songwriting career. In fact, he said that working on the book both sharpened his songwriting senses and changed his understanding of songwriting. torn up the blues circuit, but would sound equally at home if rock radio should ever be is ready for a new blues diva in the Tina Turner/Bonnie Raitt mold.

“With the book I discovered I couldn’t slack off,” he said, further explaining that “the narrative has to be maintained.

“That kind of day-in-day-out work is a sharp thing for a songwriter to do, to maintain.”

His one-man tour is not your standard book tour, either.

“I read excerpts from the book, I tell stories, I sing songs,” he said. “It was a lot of work on presentation and pacing.”

Crowell did the audio version of the book himself, which gave him the opportunity to hear how stories and segments of stories sounded out loud.

Additionally, he was able to make notes on how he would present the excerpts, both finding a balance between serious and humorous selections and also how he would weave the elements together into a live show.

“I have to kind of free-form a background of a story into the different segments of the book,” he said. “Then those passages had to be extended so that the audience is given a similar taste of each song.”

Get your Irish up at P.K. O’Ryan’s in Worthington Unlike several of its competitors, P.K. O’Ryan’s wasn’t built in Ireland and reassembled over here. And this tiny Irish-themed pub doesn’t feature self-consciously eccentric seating in a splashy and sprawling setting.

No, P.K. O’Ryan’s is just a neighborhoody place where actual locals gather to sip, chat and sup. Maybe that’s why P.K.’s feels more like an authentic Irish pub than its built-in-Ireland, chainy brethren.

Located in quaint Old Worthington, P.K.’s is the kind of place where on a lazy Sunday, gentlemen have lunch with a pint and The New York Times and ladies roll in for an entree salad.

On a weeknight with the Buckeyes on TV, the comfy pub — which appropriates a cozy, pilsner-colored glow for evening lighting — gets a bit more ani-

by G.A. Benton mated. But just a bit, mind you.

While P.K.’s is connected to a larger, more regulation restaurant, since I prefer its taverny aspect, I suggest you sit on that side (unless you’ve got the peewee basketball team in tow) — just follow the shamrocks to the pub entry. Then plop down at a semirickety (in a good way) wooden bench with a padded back or belly up to the well-used wooden bar, which is the color of Guinness stout.

P.K.’s food is just solid pub grub, but some of its stuff stands out. The “so wrong they’re right” Irish Nachos ($8) fit that standout category.

By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek

Irish nachos and Irish stew in a bread bowl at P.K. O’Ryan’s Restaurant and Pub.

A massive pile of just-fried, dark and crispy kettle-style potato chips arrived decorated a la reuben sandwich. Yes, shredded

bits of commendably houseroasted corned beef (though I would have liked more), sauerkraut, a decent Swiss cheese sauce and snipped scallions lent tons of salty and irresistible character to the good chips (Thousand Island was on the side for dipping).

Also good — if less wild — was the homemade chili ($4).

Meaty, thick and hearty, it was made with black beans and seemed about 85 percent ground beef — a righteous ratio.

For a lighter starter, the house salad ($4.50) wasn’t bad. While it’s not something you’ll be thinking about long afterward, neither is it a total blowoff. Good sized and assembled with fresh romaine (no iceberg), it was sprinkled with shredded cheese, tomato, onions and boxed croutons and got a bit of distinction from

Want more of that crave-worthy house-roasted corned beef?

Of course you do, so order one of P.K.’s excellent Grilled Reubens ($10). They’re not overly greasy, are judiciously proportioned and come with extracrispy french fries.

Made with Carfagna’s ground beef, the burgers are solid here,

on Cajun seasonings and enriched with blue cheese.

The homemade Irish Stew ($11.50) was a big standout. A huge, housemade bread bowl was loaded with a soulful, potatoheavy stew of tender pot roast, sweet onions, carrots and a thick, Guinness-sloshed beefy gravy.

What’s a homemade Irish sheet cake?

It’a a giant block of chocolate cake with nuts and a sweet fudgy icing ($5). In other words, what you’d call a nice Texas sheet cake when eaten in a pub that feels accommodatingly Irish.

Restaurant with Southwestern flair opens in Merion Village Robin Emrick is happy to say there isn’t anything quite like Coyote Jane’s in her immediate neighborhood — or beyond.

The Merion Village restaurant, 1586 S. High St., is based on a simple premise: affordable, homemade Santa Fe cuisine and festive drinks in a laid-back environment.

Emrick, the chef and co-owner, said that while the cuisine has its roots in the artsy New Mexico capital, it melds global ingredients.

“My cooking style is to mesh different flavors that nobody else would think of putting together,” she said.

Yet the bill of fare, in which everything is currently priced less than $10, has been subject to vast interpretations.

“It’s not Mexican,” she said. “The menu right now is a little misunderstood.”

So, in short, expect the unexpected.

The “Hop Sing” green chili burger, for example, uses 8 ounces of Angus beef topped with deep-fried jalapenos, sharp cheddar and green chili agave pesto on grilled brioche. The steak chili uses a splash of Jack Daniels and is touched off with a drizzle of Mexican chipotle chocolate.

There are tacos, burritos (called burros) and deep-fried burritos, otherwise known as chimichangas. Many have Coyote Jane’s signature touch, such as the “poppy shrimp” tacos, filled with deep-fried buttermilk popcorn shrimp, a traditional garnish and cayenne mayo.

The signature cocktail is the grilled watermelon sidecar —– tequila, agave syrup, grilled watermelon and fresh mint. An unconventional version of a bloody Mary offers shrimp and pickled egg.

After leasing the building in March, the

restaurant had a few stutter steps because of liquor license and permitting issues. It is open dinner only until March 1, when lunch hours are introduced. Emrick said she will have an entirely new lunch menu while adding some entrees at dinner.

Emrick is a partner and chef in the Banana Bean Café, which got its start in Schumacher Place and later moved to Greenlawn Avenue. Her other business associates are Angela Caskey, also part of the founding partnership of Banana Bean and Skillet, and Jane Ann Wentzel, whose name served as the inspiration for the new restaurant.

The building, at the northeast corner of High and East Morrill Avenue, had been home to Craters Restaurant and Bar for about 25 years. Then, the Eagle bar had been in business for about six months before Coyote Jane’s moved in. Emrick said she liked the look of the place: wooden floors, exposed brick and a cozy dining space. She shortened the bar and added several Southwest appointments for a rustic look. The dining room seats about 30 and the bar space seats another 25.

“I’ve been down here for 15 years,” she said. “I’ve seen Merion Village grow in the last 10 years. And the people want something different.”

Coyote Jane’s is open five days a week, closed Sunday and Monday. For more information, call 614-444-5460.

Correction: Because of a reporter’s error, the Economic and Community Development Institute was incorrectly identified in last week’s edition of Table Talk.

■ The Powell dining scene has grown dramatically in recent years.

Keile Baney isn’t worried.

The chef of the Liberty Tavern says he tries to stay on top of the competition by giving diners a large variety of dishes at reasonable prices.

“We have a regular crowd and they’re not afraid to tell us what they Keile Baney want,” he said.

Customers can get everything from grilled mahi mahi over risotto to the Tavern “stacker” – a burger crowned with barbecue pork, bacon, cheddar and onion rings.

“We have a little bit of everything,” said Baney, now a contributor to Food & Wine.

Baney said his real passion is smoking. Tavern patrons are treated to frequent smoked specials, including brisket, turkey and pork shoulder.

A native of rural Erie, Penn., Baney is a 12-year veteran of the restaurant industry, working in Pennsylvania, Michigan and locally at such places as Hyde Park.
