New Clintonville park has new name

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The park has a name.

About 40 Sharon Heights residents gathered last week and voted, pretty unanimously, that what was once the site of a Worthington school, later a Columbus City Schools elementary and still later a vacant 10 acres with lots of

invasive species should be called Sharon Meadows Park.

“The discussions over the last two years have been that somehow Sharon should be included,” said Keith Beveridge, president of the Sharon Heights Community Association. “Sharon Meadows came out the big winner.

“We probably had about 40 folks in attendance … and I think we had three

people voted for Stanton Meadows, which is similar.”

The recommendation goes to a committee at the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department for final approval, but Beveridge feels that it will easily pass muster.

For one thing, he said, in keeping with a common practice at Recreation and Parks, the name reflects nearby streets.

Sharon Avenue is just east of the former school site and Meadowlark Lane is also nearby.

“We did sort of combine two roads,” Beveridge said.

“I think that sounds fine,” Clintonville Area Commission District 9 representative D Searcy said. “It gives recognition to the fact that it’s the old Sharon School and that Sharon (Avenue) is

close by.

“It has the historic connection and it helps people locate it because there’s a street near there by that name.”

Dr. Brian Kvitko is in the process of trying to recruit dentists, dental assistants and hygienists as well as an oral surgeon to help staff ‘Dentistry from the Heart’ June 17 to treat more than 500 people to free dental care.

Volunteers sought for free dental-care event

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dr. Brian H. Kvitko claims he’s not much of a golfer, but he feels he’s aces as a dentist.

So while the Clintonville practitioner enjoys sponsoring a golf tournament for a charitable cause, he was delighted when he learned at a seminar last November about a national nonprofit organization established by a colleague, Dr. Vincent Monticciolo of New Port Richey, Fla. “He decided the best way for dentists to give back was to do dentistry,” Kvitko said last week.

Kvitko became determined to give back to the community in the same way, and in a big way.

The entire staff of Dr. Kvitko, Metnes and Associates has begun planning for a daylong “Dentistry from the Heart” event on June 17 at which at least 526 people will receive free dental care.

Um, 526?

Kvitko, nothing if not competitive, explained that the record previously for a Dentistry from the Heart day is 525. “Why not try to do the most good?” Kvitko asked.

The national nonprofit organization was registered in 2007, and last year more than 250 events were scheduled that helped an estimated 30,000 patients by offering millions of dollars in free dental care, according to the website of the program. Six years

‘Dentistry from the Heart’ planning meeting is March 25 A planning meeting for this summer’s “Dentistry from the Heart” event at the North High Street office of Dr. Kvitko, Metnes and Associates is scheduled for Friday, March 25.

Anyone interested in helping out with the daylong effort to provide free dental care to hundreds of people is invited to attend.

The meeting is scheduled for 12:30 earlier, Monticciolo got the ball rolling by offered a full day of free dental care at his Florida practice.

June 17 might seem like a long way off, but Kvitko said that he and those on his staff have a lot of work ahead of them in order to pull off the kind of major Dentistry from the Heart event he envisions.

Volunteers galore will be needed, the dentist said, including other dentists, dental assistants and hygienists, at least one oral surgeon and people who can handle such duties as checking patients in and transporting instruments.

Kvitko, who has been practicing in Clintonville for 29 years, has been a member of the Ohio State University College of Den-

p.m. The practice is located at 4308 N. High St. Dentists, dental assistants and hygienists as well as an oral surgeon or two are needed, along with non-medical personnel to carry out various tasks.

Those interested in volunteering to help out on Friday, June 17, but unable to attend the March 25 meeting should call the office at (614) 262-9588. tistry faculty for the past two decades.

That has enabled him to arrange for the OSU mobile dentistry clinic to be part of the June 17 events. The customized motor coach has four dental chairs for treating children, making this the first Dentistry from the Heart where those under the age of 18 can be treated, according to Kvitko.

Other possibilities on the dentist’s horizon for that day include the American Red Cross Bloodmobile, a Franklin County Children Services van where people can sign up for various programs, possibly a “bounce house” for children, a sound stage with various kinds of entertainment and, of course,

vowed to show up for the event and handle announcement duties, Dr. Brian H. Kvitko said last week.

Williams will be making the appearance to show his gratitude for dental care he has been receiving from the Clintonville practitioner.

“He wants to emcee it,” Kvitko said. “It was his choice, not mine, not that I mind.”

“Dr. Kvitko has been chosen

folks to attend, so the drop in attendance for the second session didn’t bother her much.

“I think that the first meeting people weren’t quite sure what it was,” Smith said. Some showed up because they were vexed about cars speeding on their streets, rather than a desire to encourage children to walk or bike to school.

Those at last week’s meeting she described as “very active, very excited, very enthusiastic.”

This smaller group discussed the possibility of holding a “bicycle rodeo” at a local school — probably Indianola K-8, because See SAFE ROUTES, page A2

Kvitko said last week that he and the team surrounding Williams are trying to work out

The number of attendees dropped but the enthusiasm of those on hand grew for last week’s second meeting of the fledgling Safe Routes to School committee, said Elizabeth Smith, who chairs the group.

The Clintonville permutation of a national program aimed at getting children to school safely and encouraging them to make the trip on foot or by riding bicycles is one of several efforts of the nonprofit Safer Streets for All. The parent organization was founded last fall to urge that improvements be made to the intersection of North Broadway and North High Street, that Clintonville become more bicyclefriendly and to become a neighborhood chapter of the overall Safe Routes to School program.

An introductory meeting to the Safe Routes to School committee of Streets for All was held in February, and about 14 people turned out on a cold winter evening. Smith said at the time that she was only expecting five

A single sign that has to do triple duty doesn’t get designed or decided upon any time soon in Clintonville.

Roughly three years into the process of replacing the sign for the Whetstone Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library, while incorporating the Park of Roses and Whetstone Community Center, there’s no end in sight.

“I would like to see it up, certainly by the end of the year, but I don’t know if that’s realistic,” said Greg Denby, manager of the Whetstone branch.

Recently, Denby and Donna Leigh-Osborne of the Clintonville Rotary Club, who are serving on a group working to come up with a design for the new sign, provided a brief update to the Clintonville Area Commission.

Last week, the two discussed where the project has been and where it might be going from here.

When the Columbus Metropolitan Library went through a “rebranding process” several years ago, Denby said that included new signs at all the branches. Denby’s was to be the last to receive the new sign, but because there was money left over in the budget for the project, Columbus Recreation and Parks Department officials were contacted to determine interest in a joint effort, since two major facilities are also accessed off Hollenback Drive.

A proposed look for the new sign was developed by Denzer Design Group of Columbus that included some funding from the city, according to Denby.

“They were real supportive of the design,” he said.

New Clintonville park has new name Continued from page A1 was some sentiment to name it after former longtime Sharon Heights Community Association president Jim Dowdy, Beveridge said. From the mid- to late 1990s, after the school was closed and the building began to be leased for a variety of other purposes, Dowdy led efforts to have the acreage preserved as a park for the community.

“Compliments to Jim for continuing the pressure,” Searcy said last week. “He was the voice who continued to say, ‘OK, what’s going on with that?’ ” Finally, about two and a half years ago, something began “going on with that,” and in relatively rapid succession.

Beveridge, Searcy, Dylan Williams of Stanton Avenue and his wife Mindy

Bossert all served on the task force that worked on creating the park.

“Everything’s just happened in a very short period of time relative to how long the neighborhood’s been looking for a property like this,” Williams said.

It began, Beveridge said, with the razing of the old Sharon School in January, February and March 2009. This past August, he said, a land swap took place between the city and the school district, with Recreation and Parks getting the old elementary site and CCS obtaining land in German Village.

“We now look forward this summer to having a playground incorporated in this park and a trail on the exterior,” Beveridge said.

These improvements should be completed by July or August, he said.

The park sits on what was the Stoddard family farm in the 1930s and ’40s, according to the current community association president. It was sold to the community and Worthington Schools built a yellow schoolhouse on the site.

When the boundaries for what was then Columbus Public Schools were shifted north of Morse Road to the Worthington city limits, Beveridge said, it became a Columbus elementary building.

“The site used to be an old elementary school,” Williams said. “There were a lot of young families in the neighborhood.”

Changing demographics led the school district to abandon the building, he said.

Now Williams hopes the presence of the new park will play a part in young families returning to the neighborhood.

“It’s nice to be bringing that sort of life back into the neighborhood,” he said.

Obtaining 10 acres in a Clintonville neighborhood for a park in this day and age is amazing, in CAC member Searcy’s opinion.

“It’s huge,” she said, “because for years, years and years, after the public schools decided they didn’t want to use that space ... people have wanted it to be a park. For the city to actually acquire the property and then for us to actually get the grant for the park, it’s huge. It’s the dream of many residents fulfilled.”

Last year, the Recreation and Parks Department received a $150,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to improve the property, Beveridge said.

“We are absolutely lucky, but I think

it was helpful, though, … that the Clintonville Neighborhood Development Plan came forward (in 2008),” Beveridge said.

The plan calls for a park facility within half a mile of every home.

“We didn’t have that,” Beveridge said.

“Without this, our closest park was probably the little park behind Graceland, which is not the most friendly pedestrian environment to get down there.”

Community residents have so far done three major cleanups of the wooded section of the site, which was planted back on the original Earth Day in 1970, to rid it of invasive species, according to Beveridge.

“This process will continue because we’ve still got about half an acre to clean out,” he said.

clist, Smith said.

A lack of sidewalks in the vicinity of Indian Springs Elementary and Our Lady of Peace School made them less likely candidates, she said.

The rodeo would be held in

some portable toilets.

“We almost want to make it a community health event,” Kvitko said.

With no questions asked, people showing up that day for dental care can receive an extraction, a filling or a cleaning. A fourth group may not know what kind of procedure they need. Kvitko plans to have four chairs set aside for hygienists and eight for dentists inside his offices, in addition to the four in the OSU mobile clinic.

“We’re not going to look at their bank account,” Kvitko said. “We’re not going to ask them to prove that they’re poor or prove they don’t have insurance.”

Those who have a tooth removed will need to have a prescription filled, so the dental practice staff members are hoping to line up an on-site pharmacy to operate that day.

So while Kvitko is pumped about all the good that could be done on June 17, he knows it’s still something of a drop in the bucket, or in the spit sink.

“Dentists couldn’t do enough free dental care to make up for the difference between the haves and have-nots,” Kvitko said.

Continued from page A1 Dispatch website on Jan. 3. The following day an anonymous user copied the clip to YouTube, where it quickly drew millions of hits.

Williams quickly drew all kinds of offers, and told his story of a radio career derailed by drug and alcohol abuse, as well as time spent in prison, on all the morning shows.

While in New York City he was reunited with his mother, whom he had not seen in decades. Later, in Los Angeles he reunited with a daughter, but it didn’t go all that well and LAPD detained them after a heated argument in a hotel.

Williams, 54, is currently residing at a “sober house” in Los Angeles, where he has vowed to remain until this summer or fall, he said during a March 9 appearance on NBC’s “Today.”

“He’s actually doing OK,” said Kvitko, who stays in touch with Williams and his managers.

Williams has recorded a song, made a cameo appearance on a Snoop Dog video and entered into a book deal, according to the dentist.

conjunction with Bike to Work Week, May 16-20, according to Smith, and might culminate in a “Bike Bus” convoy to the school the final day of the week.

“We’re trying to get them excited about bicycling, but also get

the parents excited about it, and wearing helmets,” Smith said.

The idea of the bicycle rodeo is to be further fleshed out at the next meeting of the committee, set for Tuesday, April 12, at 7:30 p.m. in the offices of Consider

Biking, 4041 N. High St. How to involve local bicycle shops and even bicycle racing groups in the event, along with how receptive school officials are to the concept, will be among the items on the agenda.

As it were

Everybody walked when Columbus was young Columbus has not been a “walking city” for quite some time. There was a time, when Columbus was young, when everybody walked to get just about anywhere. But that time, that walking time, ended relatively early in the city’s history.

Columbus was and is a created city. There was no city on the “High Banks opposite Franklinton” until the Ohio General Assembly brought it into being in 1812. That new town was ED a place of LENTZ many trees and few people for a number of years.

But even after the trees were gone and the streets were lit nightly with oil lamps, people walked to get from place to place. The residents of Columbus walked to church, and to school and to the shops that extended south from Statehouse Square toward Main Street.

Even after the Ohio Canal and the National Road arrived in Columbus in the early 1830s, it remained a walking city. A ride on the canal or along the National Road was expensive and most people simply did not have that kind of money.

Because most cities, like Columbus, were walking cities, there was little inclination to reside anywhere other than close to downtown. So that is what most people did until well after the end of the Civil War in 1865. But it was during the war that the new age was foretold.

The first streetcar appeared on High Street in 1863 in the middle of the Civil War. It seemed to be a good time for this kind of innovation. The small town of 18,000 people had suddenly become the home of thousands of Union troops at nearby Camp Chase on the West Side of the city. It was a good time to grow a business in central Ohio.

A lot of people did just that, and Columbus became a rather big city in the years after the war. It was in those years that Columbus became a “streetcar city” as well.

That one lonely streetcar moving up and down High Street pulled by two overworked horses soon was succeeded by a number of streetcar companies. Each served a different part of town and each wound its way through its own particular part of the city, eventually ending up somewhere near the center of things that came to be called “downtown.”

It is interesting to note that until well after the Civil War, no one really talked about a downtown Columbus. The place was such a small town that no one part of it was more central than another.

The streetcars changed all that.

They permitted people to live one, two and even three miles from the center of the city in new, mostly residential “streetcar suburbs.”

These suburbs were few in number at first because riding on a slow-moving streetcar that was hot in the summer and cold in the winter was not all that pleasant.

But all of that changed in the early 1890s when the streetcars became electrified. Now the big new streetcars — heated in the winter and moving fast enough to be cool in the summer — took the new middle class of Columbus to new homes in new neighborhoods several miles from the center of the city.

All the streetcar suburbs were soon superseded by whole new

groups of suburban communities based around the automobile. To this day, it is not all that hard to see the difference between the streetcar suburbs and the automobile suburbs that followed them.

Look at the houses along Neil Avenue just north of Goodale. This is a classic streetcar suburb. The large houses of elaborate design and décor are spaced quite close to one another along the broad and spacious avenue. This was a street that once carried not just one but two streetcar tracks in its center.

In its heyday, the fashionable middle class who lived in these houses left their nice homes in the morning and boarded a nearby streetcar to travel to work or play in the central city.

By the 1920s, thanks to Henry Ford, the automobile, once a toy of the rich, had become the belonging of much of the rest of America. A whole new class of automobile suburbs was built four, five and six miles from the downtown. We can find them easily today in Clintonville, on the Hilltop and on the East and South sides of the city. The houses are still quite close together. But now one can find driveways as well, leading to small garages behind the houses. It is almost as if people felt the obligation to hide the cars that had brought them to suburban enjoyment.

But these new 1920s suburbs did have one important amenity: sidewalks. Even if a person were

forced to use a car to get to suburbia, it was expected that one would walk after arriving there.

Even this expectation was put aside after World War II. The 16-million men who came home after the war were looking for cars, wives and a place to live — usually in that order. The GI Bill of Rights helped them importantly in the latter by providing inexpensive home loans.

The new subdivisions built after the war were significantly different than the neighborhoods built in the 1920s and 1930s. The houses were very much like one another and featured prominent garages facing the street. And most of these new developments had no sidewalks. If one was going to walk, one went someplace else to do it.

In less than two generations, we had changed from a people who walked everywhere to a people who hardly walked anywhere.

By the 1990s, it was becoming apparent that we had become a nation of people who needed a bit more exercise. Fortunately for us, the people who manage our parks, both locally and regionally, have anticipated this need and provided us with a wonderful set of places to walk, run and even ride our bikes.

All we have to do now is learn to use them.

Mollie O’Donnell told area commission members and those in attendance that these would be for major events, not a wedding or family reunion.

The design is being revamped, Leigh-Osborne said at the meeting, so no overall costs exist yet for the project.

“We’re looking for just a unified, cohesive thing that can solve the issues,” Leigh-Osborne said last week. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

BRANDON RD.

Then the city was enveloped by a financial crisis.

Soon after, so was the library.

“We decided to put that whole project on hold,” Denby said.

“It wasn’t really an appropriate time to be looking at a grand new sign in that area,” Leigh-Osborne said.

The original funding for the new library sign is still set aside, according to the branch manager. He estimated it was about $30,000.

“That’s kind of a ballpark,” Denby said. “It could be less, it could be more.

“We still want to do the sign, Rec and Parks is supportive and at this point we’re still looking for the rest of the funding that is needed.”

“It’s a unique challenge,” Leigh-Osborne said. “It’s not something that can be decided in

one meeting.

“It’s such a focal point that we have to get it right, and it’s not something that’s going to be changing for many years.”

“That’s really kind of a featured corner in Clintonville … so we want to make it nice,” Denby offered.

At the CAC meeting earlier this month, Leigh-Osborne showed the proposed look of the new sign that was produced by Denzer Design Group. It incorporates three individual signs side-by-side under an overall wooden structure with stone posts. Each of the signs, one for the Park of Roses, one for the community center and the third for the branch library, would measure five feet by five feet.

Space would be available under each of these for temporary promotional signs measuring two feet by five feet.

Children suffering severe burns need care from team of doctors Burn injuries can be physically harmful and emotionally challenging.

For severe burns, the recovery process can be both long and painful. Fortunately, there are many options and treatments available to help.

Children who suffer burn injuries may face two stages of surgical intervention. The first is to assist with the initial healing of the burn and the second is to provide for long-term restoration of both form and function.

Many burns heal without the need for surgical intervention. If the burns are deep enough, however, healing cannot take place, and skin grafting is necessary.

This process involves the surgical transplantation of thin sheets of skin from an uninjured part of the body (usually the buttocks or thighs) to the burned area.

Skin is removed from an uninjured part of the body using a special surgical instrument called a dermatome. The site from which the skin is taken is called the donor

RICHARD KIRSCHNER

site.

The burned skin is removed and the injured area is resurfaced with the skin graft. It may be held in place with skin glue, stitches or skin

staples.

With time, the transplanted skin heals and replaces that which was destroyed by the burn. It typically takes seven to 10 days for the skin grafts to heal. Grafted skin, however, always has an abnormal, scarred appearance.

In the long term, plastic surgery may be needed in order to reconstruct damaged structures, such as the lips, nose, ears and hands. Plastic surgery may also be performed in order to improve the appearance of scars and to release tight scar bands (called contractures) that interfere with the motion of the underlying joints.

In many cases, rehabilitation

following burn injury requires the work of several professionals (pediatric surgeon, plastic surgeon, physical and occupational therapists and nurses) working as a team. The Burn Program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital also includes dieticians, social workers, therapeutic recreational therapists, massage therapists and psychologists.

Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery provides comprehensive care for all pediatric plastic surgical problems, including reconstructive surgery following burn injury.

With the support of family, friends, a specialized teams of surgeons, physicians and therapists, patients can expect to recover from this experience and live normal, healthy lives.

Dr. Richard Kirschner is chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery and director of the Cleft Lip and Palate-Craniofacial Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Shock: Brutally cold winter spikes outrageously high utility bill Another winter is coming to the end and once again we finish with outrageous bills that I defer through the summer because we couldn’t afford it.What can we do?

- Desperate homeowner As utility costs continue to rise, the more sense it makes to have your home insulated. USA insulation can help by properly insulating your home and reducing bills substantially.

“Your furnace and air conditioner will run a lot less when you have your home insulated,” said Steve Cikach of USA insulation.“In addition to saving energy and helping the environment, you will also lower your utility bills by up to 50 percent.”

USA Insulation’s patented foam insulation is injected through small holes in the walls. It goes in

as foam and dries hard, creating a 4-inch shell of insulation around your home. Insulation experts say if your home was built before 1980, you may have very little, if any, insulation in your walls.

If you’re weighing the options of various insulation materials, keep in mind the following facts: • USA Premium Foam insulation will not absorb moisture or settle in a wall cavity like cellulose or fiberglass. Because it will not absorb moisture, mold cannot grow on it.

• It cannot burn in a fire. In fact, 4 inches of the foam insulation is rated as a two-hour fire wall • USA features a premium foam that boasts the highest R-value for sidewalls up to 5.4 per inch, which is about R-19 in wall cavity.

• It is clean, dust-free and non-toxic, therefore it is safe for families and pets.

• Outside noises are reduced by 50 decibels, which is important if your home is located in a high-traffic area.

USA can insulate most homes in one day and do the work on the exterior whether brick, stucco,

shingles or siding.They can do this without you ever knowing they were there.

The company also provides financing options to meet all budgets.

The company and the product manufacturer have been around for nearly 30 years and have more than 10,000 insulation jobs to their credit.

Take advantage of the new federal energy of cost up to $500.

Call USA Insulation at (614) 529-2440 or 1-888-894-1024 for a free evalution and to find out how you can save on your utility bills this winter.

Commentary

Memories abound from state tourney When the final seconds tick off the clock on Saturday, March 26, at the Division I state boys basketball tournament at Ohio State, it will complete 60 years for me of watching tournament basketball in Ohio. My dad took me to see Columbus Aquinas play in a quarterfiLARRY nal of the 1952 tournaLARSON ment in the Fairgrounds Coliseum, and it has been a six-decade joyride since. But with my move to California this summer, this could be my last final four for a while.

So here is my chance to share some of my greatest memories along with my list of the five greatest tournament games I’ve witnessed.

Before we hit the top-five list, let’s just say that mine has been a lifetime of thrills in the venues of high school basketball. I have been privileged to witness some of the greatest individuals who played the sport, like Jerry Lucas, Clark Kellogg and LeBron James. I had the chance to see great central Ohio players beginning with Columbus South’s Frank Howard and Marion-Franklin’s Herb Williams.

I saw the electric Todd Penn of Linden-McKinley, Jerry Francis Sr., who played for Columbus West, and Jerry Francis Jr., who played for Columbus Wehrle. I watched the wonderful Eddie Ratliff and his teammates lead Columbus East to consecutive state titles in 1968 and 1969. I saw girls basketball begin and develop and, along the way, got to see Logan’s Katie Smith and Pickerington coach Dave Butcher forever eliminate any doubt about how good girls can play this sport. I got to see a flouncy haired Dale Lambert light up the Fairgrounds with his shooting in the ’60s and Mount Vernon’s Scott Dapprich light up the Fairgrounds in the ’90s. I saw great teams and unheralded teams win state championships, but the common thread through 60 years has been the incredible efforts put forth by these young people.

Here is a list of my five favorite games that I was lucky enough to see. As usual, I rank them in reverse order, No. 5 through my No. 1.

5 — East vs. Cleveland St. Joseph, 1979 Class AAA boys state final: St. Joseph was the favorite to win the title and after East won its semifinal over Akron Central-Hower, it lost a starter to an injury. But on state championship Saturday, East was more than brilliant. East took a 26-13 lead after the first quarter and expanded it to 5426 at halftime. Kellogg tried to rally St. Joe’s with a 51-point performance, but the day belonged to East in one of the best team performances the state has seen.

4 — Pickerington vs. Logan, 1992 Division I girls state final:

Softball coach enters final year Manahan back to lead baseball team

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Watterson High School softball coach Mike Huff stunned his players on March 1 when he announced that he is going to step down as coach at the end of this season.

“I’ve had a great run, but I’m older and I just don’t have the energy level to do this anymore,” said Huff, whose team opens Monday, March 28, at home against Mount Vernon. “Coaching has become a full-time parttime job, and I’m just tired. It’s time for someone else to come in with new, fresh ideas who has more energy, because that’s what this team deserves.”

In 22 seasons, Huff has led the Eagles to eight CCL titles and 303 wins, but they have yet to win a Division I district title.

Senior catcher Maggie Maloney said the Eagles hope to give their longtime coach a special parting gift by capturing their first district championship.

Eagles shortstop Madeline Simmonds returns after earning first-team all-CCL honors last season.

“We were kind of shocked when he announced he was leaving, because he’s been here so long and it seemed like he would always be here,” Maloney said.

“We’d love to send him out on a good note, and winning a district title would be the perfect icing on the cake.”

The Eagles have eight players with starting experience in Maloney, seniors Kaela Kreuzer (1B/P), Annie Truelove (P/1B) and Maggie Zych (CF), juniors Ashley Andracki (3B) and Madeline Simmonds (SS) and sophomores Katey Bell (RF) and Kayla Cook (3B/P).

Rounding out the team are junior Rachel Egelhoff (2B) and sophomore Audrey Manahan (C/2B).

Last season, Simmonds and Truelove were first-team allCCL, and Cook and Zych were second-team all-CCL. “We’ve got a lot of returning

starters, but they’re very versatile players, so their positions may change this season,” Huff said. “With only 10 players, we need to avoid injuries.”

Last season, the Eagles finished 15-11 overall and 4-4 at the CCL to place third, behind DeSales (8-0) and Ready (5-3), and ahead of Hartley (3-5) and Columbus School for Girls (0-8).

“I’m expecting the CCL games to be great competition as always,” Huff said. “DeSales has quite a few seniors, as does Ready. We’ve got a lot of experience, too, so I think we’ve got just as good a shot at it as anyone.”

Watterson defeated Brookhaven 17-0 in five innings in its district tournament opener last year, with Truelove pitching a one-hitter.

The 12th-seeded Eagles then lost to 10th-seeded Mount Vernon 7-4 in the second round.

“This team has more experience and we have communication like you wouldn’t believe,” Maloney said. “We have much better chemistry and are better friends now. ... I think our friendship will make us a better team.”

City League Notes

Africentric boys to face Taft in state semi

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Africentric Early College boys basketball team has tried not to spend time doing what coach Michael Bates calls “overanalyzing” its situation after beating Archbold 45-38 in a Division III regional final March 19 at Bowling Green.

Although the Nubians’ next task will include containing one of the state’s top players, they’re not planning a new approach for their state semifinal matchup at 10:45 a.m. Friday, March 25, against Cincinnati Taft at Ohio State.

See LARSON, page B2 “It’s still basketball and there are still

two baskets on the floor,” said Bates, whose team is 18-7. “I want it to be as normal for them as possible. I don’t see us doing anything we haven’t done all year. We play man-to-man defense and we like to play you 94 feet.”

Bates has a trio of senior starters to lean on in Marquice Taylor (19.4 points per game), Kalomo Figueroa-Jackson (10.1 ppg) and Darrion Bell. Fuquan Tucker is a 6-foot-3 junior who averages 10.7 points.

That group will battle a Taft lineup that includes just one senior in guard Kadeem Palmer and four junior starters.

Taft is led by Adolphus Washington, a 6-6 junior post player who averages

19.1 points and is one of the nation’s top football recruits at defensive end. Junior guard Orlando Berry (13.1 ppg) and junior Dwayne Stanford (12.2 ppg), a 6-5 forward, are other key players.

Under coach Mark Mitchell, the Senators have gone 182-35 in 10 seasons and were regional runners-up a year ago.

They are 24-1 this season after beating Cincinnati Summit Country Day 49-45 in a regional final March 19.

“It’s been a really special group,” Mitchell said. “They’re a relatively young group, but our team has what you’d call camaraderie. (Washington) is our cornerstone. He’s the No. 1 defensive end in the state of Ohio but is also the No. 1

power forward in Ohio in basketball.

He’s got a high basketball IQ and plays with high energy.”

Bates was the junior varsity coach when Africentric won the 2005 Division IV state championship before later forfeiting the title for using an ineligible player.

The Africentric-Taft winner will play for the championship at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, March 26, against Cleveland Central Catholic or Portsmouth.

Portsmouth is 21-4 entering its state semifinal at 2 p.m. Friday, March 25, against Central Catholic. Portsmouth has See CITY, page B2

Africentric’s Ferguson named Super 12 captain

By JARROD ULREY

pride, about not letting your per-

ThisWeek Community Newspapers son score on you. He always tells

Raven Ferguson feels like she has been playing on the Africentric Early College girls basketball team “her whole life.”

Opponents probably feel the same about the senior standout and captain of the ThisWeek Super 12 girls basketball team.

After becoming a starter as a freshman, Ferguson helped the Nubians go 89-15 overall, 56-0 against City League-South Division opponents and win four district championships.

This season, Ferguson was the Division III district Player of the Year while leading Africentric to a regional runner-up finish.

“It will be weird to go to the games next year, but it’s just time for me to move on to bigger things,” Ferguson said.

Next season, she’ll be a freshman at Ohio State.

“Africentric has made me a lot more confident off the court and on the court,” she said. “I’ll be going in to try to play, and I think I’ll have a chance to start. (Africentric) coach (Will) McKinney always says that defense is about

EAGLES

us that at the next level, that’s how you get on the court. I’m still trying to improve and be better.”

With Ferguson joining their lineup in 2007-08, the Nubians went 25-2 and lost in the Division IV state final. In 2008-09, they went 23-4 and won the state title as Ferguson made Super 12 honorable mention.

A year ago, Africentric moved up to Division III and lost in a regional semifinal to finish 196. Ferguson made first-team alldistrict and Super 12 as she averaged 23 points, six rebounds, 3.5 assists and four steals.

With Ferguson leading the way this season, the Nubians beat Northland 60-52 on Feb. 12 for their third City title in four years and Columbus School for Girls 74-45 on March 5 for a district title. Africentric’s season ended with a 56-50 loss to Fort Recovery in a regional final March 12.

Africentric went 22-3 as Ferguson averaged 19 points, eight rebounds and three assists. She also was selected first-team allstate and was the state’s Co-Player of the Year with Ally Malott

Raven Ferguson of Africentric averaged 19 points and eight rebounds in earning Super 12 captain honors.

“All of these kids are new to me, so they’re all going to get the opportunity to play at least until we find our best lineup,” Manahan said. “I don’t know where our pitching will stand this year, but the kids are working exceptionally hard and they will be competitive.”

Watterson beat Beechcroft 180 in five innings in its Division II district tournament opener before losing to fifth-seeded Hartley 4-1 in the second round.

“What our teams have accomplished in the past is in the past, and I’m challenging our kids to work harder on hitting and on the game in general so that we can go as far as our abilities can take us,” Manahan said.

been to state 13 other times and won titles in 1931, ’61, ’78 and ’88 but is making its first state appearance since 1990.

Key players for the Trojans include junior guards Wayne Evans (20.3 ppg) and Andrew Bendolph (13.4 ppg) and junior forward Dion McKinley (17.4 ppg).

Central Catholic is 18-8 and advanced to state for the third time, with its last appearance coming in 2009 when it won the title. Coach Kevin Noch is in his fourth season heading the Ironmen and has a lineup featuring 6-8 senior Anton Grady (21.1 ppg), 6-6 junior forward Alan Harper (8.2 ppg) and 6-0 junior guard Ra’Saun Smith (14.6 ppg).

“Us, Taft and Central Catholic were all at my scrimmage the day after Thanksgiving,” said Bates, whose team beat OttawaGlandorf 43-38 in a regional semifinal March 16 at Bowling Green. “I think the biggest thing for us is that it’s been a trust factor. They all understand what roles they have and they trust in each other to do their jobs. It’s not about stats anymore.”

•PUNCHERS GO DOWN — After a surprising run to a Division II district championship, the Mifflin boys basketball team hung with St. Bernard Roger Bacon before losing 65-55 in a regional semifinal March 17 at Kettering Fairmont.

The Punchers, who finished 12-13, beat Columbus East 7459 on Feb. 23, second-seeded Buckeye Valley 64-60 on Feb. 26, sixth-seeded Granville 63-

51 on March 4 and seventh-seeded Eastmoor Academy 65-61 in overtime on March 9 to win their first district title since 2005.

In the regional loss, seniors Percy Dean and Alex Harris each had 15 points and senior Ashon Scott scored 11.

Dean, the district Player of the Year, averaged 24 points for the season and made first-team all-City League-North Division.

Harris was second-team all-City, and Scott and senior Quintin Wilson made honorable mention.

Those four were part of a 10member senior class.

“We jumped out and then hit a lull,” said coach Gene Caslin, whose team led Roger Bacon 17-4 after one quarter but allowed 47 second-half points. “(Dean’s) a big assist man, and he was hitting guys for open shots so we were in it until the last couple minutes. (Roger Bacon) made some big shots down the stretch.

“I was pretty proud of my kids. I’ve been a coach for a long time and I had a good feeling about this team. Once we got Ashon Scott from a broken toe (at midseason), we started jelling.”

•ANOTHER RUN? — With Raven Ferguson among its key players, the Africentric girls basketball team won four consecutive district championships and earned three City titles in four seasons.

The Nubians went 22-3 this season and made it to a Division III regional final, where they lost to Fort Recovery 56-50 on March 12 at Lexington.

Ferguson, an Ohio State

signee who finished with 1,739 career points, led a senior class that also included Brien Babbs, Chelsea Chambers, Kaylyn Daniels and Brittani Thomas.

Thomas has signed with Akron.

Juniors Kiyanna Black and Quanita Fair and a large freshman class will be among those who will attempt to keep Africentric’s run of success going next year.

“Our seniors have put in (the younger players’ minds) that we’re a winning program,” Ferguson said. “I think (Africentric) will still make a run regardless of who is there.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

During his first tenure at Watterson from 1992 through 2007, Manahan compiled a 317-88 record with one state title (1997), eight district championships and 13 CCL titles.

Manahan replaces Tony Cleveland, who resigned for personal reasons after coaching Watterson for three seasons.

“It feels surreal, but I’m grateful to be back at Watterson,” said Manahan, whose team opens Tuesday, March 29, at Newark.

“It feels like I’m on a second honeymoon. It’s a lot like a married couple that gets divorced and then each side realizes what they meant to each other and gets married again.”

Wakeling has been 4 Dave at this pop-music thing for 30 years.

He’s been the creative force behind two of Britain’s top pop acts of the ’80s in The English Beat and General Public, which resulted in a bevy of hit songs, including Save It For Later, Mirror in the Bathroom (former) and Tenderness (latter).

He still loves playing those songs, but he has no interest in a nostalgia show. Following a handful of years in which he had an on-again-off-again relationship with making music, he’s back at it full-time and enjoying the heck out of himself.

“Those catalog songs, I go almost on muscle memory with them, so I’ve got way more interaction with the audience, which turns out to be what I’ve been searching for for 30 years,” Wakeling told The Beat.

He also fully recognizes the pros and cons of having an extensive catalog of tunes people want to hear.

“No matter what, people will be saying, ‘They’re playing our song,’” he said, chuckling. “But you also know that no matter which songs you do and which you have to leave out, you’ll have someone ask, ‘Why didn’t you do such-and-such a song?’”

He’s also writing and playing new songs and has the same jovial and serious relationship with them as with the “old” songs.

“You can tell when you play a new song, people don’t want to act like they don’t know it, and no one is telling,” Wakeling joked.

“It’s part of the ego of writing songs to play them and see how people react,” he added in

a moment of seriousness. “I’m in the second half of my songwriting career. I’m working in more of an immediate sense -instead of making wine, I’m making brandy. That kind of naivete is charming for an old curmudgeon.”

Of the heady Brit-pop ’80s which he helped dominate, Wakeling is equally thoughtful.

“Everyone was incredibly pragmatic,” he said. “The anger of punk had passed, but punk had blown up all the buildings and we got to operate in the dust and smoke afterward.”

The English Beat was at the forefront of the second wave or two-tone ska movement, which he said was intended as a “hybrid of the adrenaline of punk and the backbeat of reggae.”

“We wanted both light and dark, to be either the first party of a brand new world or the last chance before it was all gone,” Wakeling said. “Thirty years later, not much has changed.”

See? No need for a nostalgia show.

Talita’s legend is alive and well in Grove City “The food hasn’t changed a bit,” yelled a lady from the middle of a long dining room to its front counter. “Nope, that’s the only way I know how to make it,” replied a grinning Frank Prince, the longtime proprietor and head cook at the Grove City Talita’s.

What can you say about Talita’s?

Love it or hate it — and most people I know have a soft spot for it — you cannot deny it’s evocative of a Columbus that barely exists any more. Because when the first Talita’s opened in town back in the ’60s, it truly was a pioneering Mexican-ish restaurant. So when the last Talita’s in Columbus closed a few years ago, it really did signal the end of an era.

Now if you want a taste of Talita’s “authentic Brownsville-style Tex-Mex cuisine” you have to get yourself to Grove City. But you’ll be getting more than just Talita’s “famous” food.

Operational for about 14 years, the Grove City Talita’s is a unique-looking place. Cluttered wall-to-wall with Mexi-

by G.A. Benton kitsch plus shrines to the Buckeyes and, especially, the military, it looks more like a VFW hall than a restaurant. So there are military Ken and Barbie dolls, fields of flags, a “Sands of Iwo Jima” movie poster and a long rack of every U.S. military uniform you could possibly think of. And believe me, I’m only scratching the surface here.

Foodwise, a friend once succinctly summed up Talita’s general approach to assembling menu items as “the threepot theory.” In one pot is seasoned ground beef; in another, refried beans; the third holds a paprika-powered enchilada sauce. Now just add cheese and/or onions and/or some sort of tortilla and bingo! there’s most of the menu.

Of course you’ve gotta start off with that beloved Talita’s classic, the Corn

surprisingly, and probably nostalgically, satisfying.

Ditto for Talita’s Tex-Mex Chili with Cheese ($2.85) — a rib-sticking hybrid of refried beans and zingy chili.

I also enjoyed the simplicity of the Avocado Dip with Chips ($5.45). Not

I tilla with a blanket of melted cheddar thought the pulled, stewy poultry worked cheese plus pickled jalapenos, but it’s nicely with Talita’s enchilada sauce. As

for the sides — the refried beans were super heavy and the oregano and tomato-flavored rice was kinda gummy.

I’d also recommend the Shredded Beef Taster Dinner ($9). It uses good, juicy and homey pot roast in the usual Talita’s ways.

There’s also an “Italian menu” you must ask for if you want it. From that document, I’d go with the Baked Pasta Dinner ($10) — thin spaghetti, meatballs (good, tender), sausage (fennelseeded) and red sauce (rich, longcooked) topped with melted provolone.

As I left with most of that giant combo in tow, Frank Prince — who doesn’t know me — said goodbye like I was a cherished old friend. I suppose that’s the only way he knows how to do it.

Matt the Miller’s latest addition to Grandview Avenue Undaunted by an uncertain economy, Craig Barnum has chosen the crowded Grandview Avenue market as the location for his new restaurant.

Matt the Miller’s, a casual brand he wants to expand regionally, opens March 28 in a new building along the popular commercial corridor.

Barnum’s restaurant is part of a new mixed-use development that

replaces a buildi n g badly damaged by a fire in 2009.

He said the menu is identical to the original Matt the Miller’s, which opened in October 2008 in Dublin. The floor plan is slightly smaller — 500 square feet small-

er than the 5,000-square-foot Dublin space — and there are a few different design elements, such as retractable windows in the bar area and a semi-open kitchen.

But he didn’t hold back on furnishings, he said, from the artisan light fixtures and booths, plush carpeting, stone accents and custom-made beer towers.

The goal is to create a laid-back environment that appeals to a wide

Craig Barnum will be opening a Matt the Miller’s Tavern at 1400 Grandview Ave. It is the second central Ohio location for the restaurant.

range of diners. Entrees are generally priced between $15 and $28, with certified Angus steaks accounting for the more expensive dishes. There will be numerous styles of flatbreads, which are among the more popular choices in Dublin.

The place will offer 26 beers, mostly micro-brews, on tap, and about 75 wines from around the globe.

Brian McCafferty, the chef in Dublin, will move to the new location, 1400 Grandview Ave. Grandview Avenue is home to several high-profile restaurants, including Z Cucina, Spagio and Shoku, not to mention Third & Hollywood, which is right around the corner. Plus, there are a number of casual spots — such as Mazah, Aladdin’s Eatery, Grandview Café, Figlio and Vino Vino — in a relatively short stretch of roadway.

So in short, there’s no shortage of places to eat.

Barnum said restaurants build off of each other, creating a solid reputation for the destination district.

“I like the fact there have been so many successful restaurants here,” he said. “We just want to blend in.”

Local retail analyst Chris Boring agrees.
