Former director charged with felony theft

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Reynoldsburg’s community development committee on May 2 took a proposal for a summer day camp off its agenda for now.

The main reason, according to parks and recreation director Jason Shamblin, was the inability to project participation in the program and how much money to request from council to offset the direct cost of it.

“We weren’t able to reach the numbers that we felt we’d set to offset the direct cost of the program,” Shamblin said. “And with the uncertainty of the economy and the budget, we just didn’t think it would be prudent to move it forward at this time.”

Shamblin first proposed the day camp in March, and council has given it two readings thus far. He said his proposal for the program came after noticing a need to have a summer day camp that could

Reynoldsburg resident Austin Van Amsick reacts after his throw in the mini-javelin competition during Area 6 Special Olympics meet at Denison University May 1.

Reynoldsburg police have filed felony theft charges against former Reynoldsburg Soccer Association club director and treasurer Tim Thompson.

Police detective Jeff Gammell said Thompson has been charged with taking more than $5,000 from the club. If he is convicted of the fourth-degree felony, he could face six to 18 months in prison.

Gammell said the charges were filed with the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office on April 27.

The case is expected to go before a grand jury sometime in May, he said.

Lt. James O’Neill said Thompson hasn’t been arrested, adding that police would wait for an indictment.

“Anytime we get a felony, we can either arrest the person, put a warrant out for them or do a direct indictment, where we can prepare the case and get it down to the prosecutor’s office and straight to a grand jury,” Gammell said. “That works well in a lot of theft and forgery cases. People are more willing to talk to you to if they know they’re not going to be arrested.”

Police began investigating the case in June 2010, after receiving reports that thousands of dollars had been stolen from the club over the past few years.

Gammell said the investigation has taken so long to put together because he wanted to look at all records and information available over the past several years in an effort to make the case strong.

He said Matt Knorr, director of coaching for the soccer club, first See THEFT, page A2

Summer day camp scrapped this year Continued from page A1 provide working families with a safe, fun place for their children to go during the summer.

The proposal was to have it run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at Blacklick Woods Metro Park for 13 weeks beginning June 13.

Fees for Reynoldsburg residents would have been $140 per week per child for the first child and $120 per week for each additional child.

Nonresident fees would have been $160 per week per child for the first child and $140 per week

for each additional child.

A big concern among council members was in how to appropriate the correct amount of money to fund the program based on predicted participants.

During discussions over the past month, council president Bill Hills had asked how the number of predicted participants could be guaranteed for the duration of the 13week program.

Initially, Shamblin asked council for the approval to appropriate $128,000 as a break-even number for operating the program, including hiring a fulltime employee to run it and five to 10 season-

al staff members, depending on the number of participants.

“About 65 was the number of average enrollment per week that we would need to reach to break even,” Shamblin said. “If we would hit an average of 65 participants per week for the entire program, it would work out that it would cover all of our direct costs, including the full-time staff person, seasonal staff, equipment and supplies.”

After evaluating the numbers and finding out many parents already have made decisions on what their children will do this summer, Shamblin said, it just made better

sense to have the proposal taken off the agenda for now.

He said he plans to re-evaluate the options and possibly return to the community development committee with another proposal by late summer or early fall.

“That will give us time to review more options and opportunities and get the word out to the community earlier and maybe have a summer day camp for next year,” he said. “We still think it’s a good program, and there’s a lot of support for it, but we just don’t think now is the right time.” dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Fire department, businesses hold coat drive Continued from page A1 the fire department will distribute them to children in October, he said.

The idea for the coat drive came out of the department’s annual toy drive held each year around the holidays, Shirey said. By collaborating with two other area businesses, they’ll have more available space to hold the coats they collect.

“We were hearing last year about a lot of kids in our schools that didn’t have hats and mittens, and some didn’t even have coats,” he said. “That’s what really started us thinking, let’s try to put something to-

gether to help them and see what we can do, and I‘m pretty sure our schools will take about everything we can get them, ” he said.

Beany’s business manager Kerri Beany Foulks said many parents might know already which coats won’t fit their children by next winter, so now should be a good time to start the drive.

“I’m a mom, and I clean out my closets in the spring so I don’t have to push those coats around all summer. So we want to let people know now in case they’re cleaning out or having a garage sale,” Beany Foulks said.

Thus far, she said, they have collected about a dozen coats, and several nearby locations are set up to drop them off, including both Truro Township fire stations, 6900 E. Main St. and 6305 E.

In brief Gahanna Christian Academy to present ‘Cinderella’ benefit Gahanna Christian Academy’s music department will present Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” May 12, 13 and 15 as a benefit for Myah Sue Knecht, a 4-year-old who has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.

Arwen Rimmer, instrumental music director, said academy teachers Paul and Karen Hartje learned in February about their granddaughter, Myah’s, condition.

The costs for her treatment are mounting quickly, but the family refuses to give up hope and is pursuing every possible avenue for treatment, according to Rimmer.

Myah is at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis.

The shows will be held at the school, 817 N. Hamilton Road, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, May 12-13, and at 3 p.m.

Sunday, May 15. Beginning at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 14, a “Princess Tea Party” will be held in honor of Myah.

Cost for the show and tea party is $5 per ticket, with all proceeds going to the Myah Fund.

To order tickets for “Cinderella,” call (614) 536-1601.

Anyone wanting to make a general donation to help with medical costs may send a check payable to GCA and note “Myah Fund” in the memo of the check.

they’re part of the solution,” he said. “That way, I think, success commitment he had made while will be much more measurable.” campaigning, focusing on three dowen@thisweeknews.com key issues: safety, diversity and www.ThisWeekNEWS.com property values.

Barrett, 47, is a 1981 Reynoldsburg High School graduate and ThisWeekNEWS.com has lived in Reynoldsburg for almost 35 years. He is married to Caryl and has three children.

Barrett said he is very active as a member of the Reynoldsburg Messiah Lutheran Church, serving on its council and running several of its committees. He said he is running because he has always been interested in city government.

He said he would be committed to the job and plans to do it well, saying safety, diversity and property values are important not just for Ward 1 but also for the entire city of Reynoldsburg.

“I think those three things will make the most impact,” Barrett said. “It centers on diversity.

We’ve got a lot of different social groups, cultural groups, political groups represented, and there needs to be some type of inclusion and get these people on the same page and build that sense of community.”

Barrett said safety also is important.

“A lot of people just don‘t feel safe anymore because of the different types of crime that we have,” he said. “We actually had a car stolen from in front of our house about a month ago.”

Despite his lack of a political background, he said, he doesn’t expect to just sit on council and make sweeping changes.

“I’d like to ask the right questions and find ways to do things, like enable us to increase the police presence. I think that would make a big impact,” he said.

Barrett said he also wants to see more of a focus on city code enforcement to help homeowners protect their investments.

Gahanna discovers trust fund for herb center building

By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Less than a month after Gahanna City Council approved the purchase of the Ohio Herb Education Center, 110 Mill St., city leaders learned that a trust for the building had been established in 1999 to help with preservation and maintenance costs.

That trust makes the purchase of the property even a better deal, said Tony Collins, Gahanna’s parks and recreation director.

Council approved the purchase of the herb center from Mill Street Development for $305,000 on April 4.

While performing a title search, Collins learned a covenant had been placed on the property in 2002, when the Ohio History Society sold the property.

The herb center, which was known as the Patton House, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the NafzgerMiller House.

The Ohio Historical Society was a beneficiary of the Patton Trust and accepted the Patton House for the purpose of its preservation, maintenance and

care.

As a result of the covenant, any rehabilitation work done at the house must be done in accordance with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.

Some Gahanna council members expressed caution in purchasing the structure because the city would be burdened with the cost of replacing or repairing the slate roof.

Collins said he has obtained two quotes: a shingle with slate appearance for $13,600 and a slate roof ranging from $55,000 to $60,000.

He said an asphalt shingle roof probably would be allowed under the Secretary of Interior’s standards. “Even better,� he said, “Mrs. (Mary Miller) Patton left money in the Columbus Foundation for historical restoration of the house.

We’re excited to know there’s a funding source.�

Collins said $75,000 was deposited in 1999, and some funds were used in 2002 for improvements.

Franco Ruffini, Ohio Historical Society preservation officer,

wrote to Collins that earnings from the Mary Miller Patton Fund have averaged $3,000 annually. “We are open to making some of these funds available to the city for its efforts to maintain and make necessary repairs to the Patton House,� Ruffini said. “We appreciate the city’s interest in the Patton House and feel that its use as an educational center by the Herb Society is consistent with preservation of the property.�

Collins also learned that the property likely would be eligible for other matching grants, as well. “This is new information to us,� he said. “We feel it actually is a better deal.�

Collins said the building is one of only two structures from the original town of Bridgeport.

The original structure was built in 1855, and additions were made to the home in 1910.

The center includes a gift shop, a parlor and a kitchen and is used for classes, parties, meetings and rentals. mkuhlman@ thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

THIS BUG KILLS!

Protect Your Ash Trees Call Mike Donley Today for a FREE Ash Tree Assessment

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic boring insect believed to have come from China. This bug was first discovered in 2002 in Southeast Michigan. With no natural enemies to contain its population, it spreads rapidly, attacks and kills ALL ash trees regardless of size or condition; 100% mortality rate!

This bug only attacks ash trees.

The EAB infestation of ash trees became apparent last year in Central Ohio. Extensive wood pecker damage, dead limbs in upper canopies and a flush of green sprouts in the lower canopies are the most obvious signs of likely EAB infestation. Generally speaking, from the first signs of infestation, trees die within 2-3 years if untreated.

Should you decide to preserve your ash trees, field trials from Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue Universities have shown annually applied insecticides will protect ash trees effectively from the emerald ash borer. There are two primary recommendations to get most effective insecticide protection - Treating trees in the spring time (April-May) and treatments prior to infestation.

As it were

The city itself is the single monument to Joel Wright He is one of the more elusive men in the story of Columbus.

Joel Wright is also one of the more important ones. Because of Wright, the whole downtown of Columbus is where it is, is named as it is and is laid out on lines that are still followed today.

Yet there is no picture, no portrait, no sketch of this remarkable man. Wright was a member of the Society of Friends, called Quakers, and most of these people shunned pictures as a waste of time and effort.

Because of the memories of his friends and acquaintances, we know a little bit about him.

He was tall and strong and generally quite fit. He wore the long plain coat of the Quakers, with its large pockets with flaps folded over. He sported knee-length stockings and plain leather shoes.

Both the buckles at his knees and on his shoes were made of silver and were a modest display of the success he had made of himself in Ohio.

Born in 1750, Wright had missed most of the American Revolution and became known as a man who provided his own passage. Wright was a surveyor and by definition one of the few literate and well-read men in an often illiterate frontier society.

In the years after the American Revolution, he spent most of his time surveying the upper reaches of the Scioto, Muskingum and Miami rivers. He also was a town planner and helped lay out Dayton, Ohio, and Louisville, Kentucky, among other places.

After the death of his wife, Wright decided to follow his grown children into the Ohio country and eventually came to call the area around Waynesville his home.

In spring 1812, he was called from southwest Ohio to do once more what he did best, only this time with even more attention to detail. Ohio in 1812 was a state in search of itself. Established in 1803, Ohio was the first state carved out of the Northwest Territory that had become a section of British America in 1763 and part of the newly established United States in 1783. A nation mired in debt and with little income used this vast expanse of land to pay its soldiers’ past-due wages. It sold the remaining land to anyone who wanted to buy.

Because Ohio was closer to

Weekly newspaper.

Daily updates.

the East, it became the site of immense land grants to people from north and south, as well as people ED burned out by the British LENTZ and even a colony of expatriate French settlers.

The land immediately across the Scioto from frontier Franklinton was called the “High Banks opposite Franklinton at the Forks of the Scioto known as Wolf’s Ridge.” Most of the land, from Fifth Avenue on the north to Refugee Road on the south, was set aside for residents of Nova Scotia who had lost property because they had favored the American cause. Desperate for support, many of these people sold their land warrants to speculators and never came to Ohio.

Some of the few who did settled near Broad Street and named their home after the place they left: Truro Township in Nova Scotia.

By 1812, much of the land on that high ridge opposite Franklinton still was empty. As such it became a place to examine as Ohio began looking for a new state capital.

The first capital was at Chillicothe, a town along the Scioto River. Unlike the river towns of Marietta and Cincinnati, Chillicothe was a small frontier village and representative of the common people who were settling the new land. It also was directly below Adena, the hilltop estate of Ohio founder Thomas Worthington.

Responding to requests for a more northern location, the capital city had been located briefly in Zanesville before being moved back to Chillicothe. In February

1812, after looking at many sites, the Ohio General Assembly chose the High Banks opposite Franklinton as its new home.

Joel Wright came from southwest Ohio to carve that new capital city from the wilderness.

Working with local surveyor Joseph Vance, Wright laid out the town of Columbus in April 1812. He picked the site of Statehouse Square and a 10-acre site for a penitentiary, as well, where the Cultural Arts Center is today.

He later filed a report with the general assembly, listing all of his expenses, including the $2.43 for his journey to central Ohio.

Wright’s expenses included the cost of paper and other supplies and his room and board. All of his expenses, including his trip home, came to $17.62.

It is probably fair to say in retrospect that Ohio got its money’s worth.

By June 1812, the first sale of lots occurred. James Kilbourne of Worthington paid $1,000 for a corner lot at Broad and High, and other nearby lots went for several hundred dollars each.

Sales abruptly slowed when it was later learned that America had gone to war with Britain on the same day, June 18, that the sale had been held.

Wright returned to Columbus in 1813 to oversee the construction of the penitentiary. When it was under way, he resigned his position as “director of Columbus.” He went home and lived in the Quaker community of Springboro until his death in 1829.

There is no statue of Joel Wright in Columbus, and Wright would have been appalled if one had been erected. The capital city was his monument and a source of pride to him.

Up to one in every 1,000 children has some kind of serious hearing loss. While approximately half of these cases can be traced to hereditary causes, parents of a child with a hearing loss and none of their own may wonder what caused their child’s hearing impairment. According to new research, the culprit may be a virus that the mother contracted while pregnant. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that infects most people at some point in their lives, but it seldom causes obvious illness.

For women who are already infected when they become pregnant, the chances of infecting their unborn children are quite small; women who become infected with CMV while pregnant have a higher chance.

At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our experienced staff of professionals is committed to providing the highest-quality service in the prevention, assessment, and treatment of hearing disorders. Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art testing tools, allowing us to best diagnose and treat your hearing symptoms. If you or a family member are not hearing as well as you could, please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a comprehensive hearing exam. On average, our patients travel 40 miles each way to save 25% to 70% on their hearing! We are located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

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

Boys Tennis

Reynoldsburg’s 1st-singles duo finding success

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Reynoldsburg’s Adam Edwards returns a shot against Grove City’s Joey Swavely on April 29. Edwards won 7-6, 6-1 at second singles as the Raiders won 4-1.

Coach Mark Mathias has one major question as the Reynoldsburg High School boys tennis team prepares for the OCC-Ohio Division tournament on Saturday, May 7, at Pickerington Central.

Who will play first singles for the Raiders?

For most of the season, senior Ryne Kitchen and junior Adam Edwards have split time in that slot.

“We’ve been playing first singles by committee,” Mathias said. “This is the first time that has happened for us. Ryne and Adam have been placed in a tough spot, but they’ve handled it well.”

Through a 5-0 loss to Gahanna on May 2, Kitchen had a 6-6 overall record and Edwards was 6-4 in dual matches.

Neither Kitchen nor Edwards anticipated being in this position before the start of the season, as they expected Austin Dresbach to return to the first-singles slot that he held last season. However, Dresbach decided not to return for his senior season, leaving Kitchen and Edwards to battle at first singles.

“It was pretty tough,” Edwards said.

“It’s pushed everyone up in the lineup, but we’ve been handling it well.

It’s been kind of hard not knowing where you’re going to play, but I come ready every night.”

Edwards said he and Kitchen don’t know who will be playing first singles until Mathias announces his lineup for each match. Whichever player does not get the call for first singles plays second singles.

Mathias said Edwards and Kitchen are “pretty equal” in ability, but he points out there are distinct differences in their approach to the game.

“Adam is a good all-court player and he’s not afraid to get to the net,” Mathias said. “Ryne’s strength is he’s very good at figuring out people’s weaknesses and attacking those weaknesses.”

Last season, Edwards played second singles and Kitchen played first doubles. Kitchen, the lone senior on this year’s team, said he has noticed a substantial increase in the level of talent he is facing this year.

“Last year when I was at first doubles, there were some matches where

you could just go out on the court and you’d win without much of a challenge,” Kitchen said. “At first singles and second singles, every match you’re going to play a good player, so you have to put everything into every match.

“Adam and I both would rather play first singles than second singles even though it’s easier to win at second singles. It’s fun to go out there and accept that challenge of playing the other team’s best player, but it is kind of nice to have someone share the burden with.”

The Raiders entered the week 4-1 in the OCC-Ohio Division with 22 points, having played one more match than Gahanna (4-0, 21) and Pickerington North (3-1, 18).

Last year, Reynoldsburg went 2-5 in the league dual matches and finished the league tournament with 24 points to place fifth.

Raiders still looking for answers in OCC play

By KEN KITCHEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Reynoldsburg High School softball team was hoping to gain some momentum for the postseason in the final week of the regular season.

The Raiders were scheduled to play five OCC-Ohio Division games this week, including Thursday, May 5, at home against Pickerington North and Friday, May 6, at Pickerington Central.

Reynoldsburg entered the week looking for its first league victory since 2009.

“Right now, we are basically focused on the league games we have this week,” senior center fielder Bri Peters said. “We need to have more confidence, play solid defense and focus on our offense. To have a win in the league would be good.”

Hartley Roundup

Lacrosse team excited by postseason potential

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Emily Sweeney has found a new favorite subject to talk about this spring: girls lacrosse.

Now in her fourth season for the Hartley High School team, the senior never has felt this excited about the sport — mostly because there haven’t been many reasons to feel that way the past few years.

The Hawks went 7-8-1 in 2008 but struggled the past two seasons, including finishing 3-9 a year ago.

With its fourth coach in as many seasons, Hartley has been one of central Ohio’s biggest surprises under Molly Gilbert. The Hawks were 7-2 before playing Granville on May 3.

“Literally I talk about lacrosse with most of my friends,” Sweeney said. “It’s been a big change for Hartley. These coaches have been so dedicated. Now that we know that it’s permanent and that they’re so passionate, the juniors and seniors are so pumped about it. We’ve been learning more about how to trust ourselves and each other. We’re a team of athletes, and (the coaches) want to stress that this year everybody is good. I think we’ll definitely make it a lot further (in the tournament) than in the past.”

Gilbert is a former Ohio State player who also previously served as an assistant at Watterson. Former Thomas Worthington coach Jim Leake, who assisted with Gilbert at Watterson, as well as Ally Vernon and Molly Hartige, comprise Gilbert’s coaching staff.

According to Gilbert, one of the Hawks’most memorable wins came over Columbus School for Girls 10-9 on March 31.

Hartley will open the Division II South/Central Region tournament May 19 against Bexley, which it also is scheduled to play

“They’ve had four different coaches in four years, so that’s been tough,” Gilbert said. “Now we’ve got some strong coaches, with two of us from New England and one who’s been a coach for 20 years. We’ve been practicing hard. (Our practices) are not easy, and they’ve all done a nice job transitioning from practice to games. They’ve wanted to play for four years, but they haven’t had anybody to push them.

been pushing themselves to not just play games but win games.

They all have a lot of potential.”

•The boys and girls track and field teams used the Penn Relays in Philadelphia last weekend as a tuneup for the CCL meet May 12 and 14 at CSG and the postseason.

In addition to having a group of returning veterans from last year’s state runner-up girls team, freshman Naja Greer (200 meters, 400) and junior Destany Martin (hurdles) have been strong contributors, according to coach Richard Jones.

For the boys, juniors Adam Marsh (400) and Matt Simpson (200, 400) are among those who have helped in the sprints.

“I think we’re a little bit ahead of where we were last year,” Jones said. “We just went on spring break, and we’re probably the last school district to take a spring break, so that’s (hindered us). We’ve got one week to train and then it’ll be CCL. We just haven’t really gotten as many opportunities to show ourselves, but our training has been good.”

Commentary

Eagles’ Cordell aims for state record in 800 For an athlete who didn’t like running when she started competitively at age 9, Taneisha Cordell has developed into an elite competitor.

The New Albany High School senior, who will run track at the University of Miami (Fla.) beginning next year, has the fastest area time to this point in the season in both the 400 meters and her specialty, the 800. She had the fourth-fastest time in the country in the 800 in the winter indoor season and, after finishing fourth in the Division I state meet as a freshman, she won the 800 as a sophomore at Reynoldsburg before transferring to New Albany. Cordell also won the 800 at the USA Track & Field national meet last summer in Sacramento, Calif.

Talk about credentials.

“My mom got me into running when I was in elementary school and I really wasn’t very good and I was a basketball girl so I wasn’t even really interested,” Cordell said. “Through lots of hard work

and dedication and lots of support from my teammates, my family and my coaches, Denny Hammond at ReyLARRY noldsburg and LARSON Otis Winston here at New Albany, I have been fortunate to be successful. Like lots of athletes, I owe so much to so many people and right now I owe so much to coach Winston. He has definitely been a major factor in my life and we have a great relationship.”

Even though Cordell has been sensational this spring in the 400, her specialty still is the 800.

She loves the challenge of that event.

“The 800 isn’t too short and it isn’t too long,” Cordell said.

“I look at that race as a measuring stick for toughness. Anyone can sprint, but in the 800 it

becomes which runner is the gutsiest in the last part of the race and who can finish at the fastest pace.

“Like most young runners, I started as a sprinter at Reynoldsburg Junior High, but at the end of my seventh-grade year I began running the 800 and have never stopped. When I finished fourth in the state as a freshman it boosted my confidence, and winning the event the next year was the most exciting sports moment of my life because I was part of a state championship team at Reynoldsburg and it was the end of an amazing season.

“Last year was a major disappointment at the state championship meet. I had illnesses with a sinus infection last spring and my confidence was down when I ran in the 800 final. Then I fell with about 150 yards left in the race and didn’t finish, which makes me more determined than ever to get my title back this year. I think about it all the time.”

Cordell not only wants to win the 800 state title, she wants to do it in convincing fashion.

“Not only do I want to get my 800 title back, I want to do it by demolishing the state record,” she said. “I want to get to 2:08 or better and that pushes me all the time in practice, and what will probably determine my success will be my mental attitude. When I go into big races, I tell myself that I can achieve my best, and when I won in California at the nationals last summer, it felt amazing and I strive to achieve that feeling again.

“I have grown to really love track. I love the freedom you get when you are out on the track. It is so much about you and how you have trained and how you have used the support you have received. Running is fun and what a chance it has given me to meet people all over the world. It has opened so many doors for me and it has given me the confidence I need

to do well in life. Through sports you learn to not get discouraged and to use anything negative that happens for motivation to get better. I love to race and have great respect for everyone that competes with me.”

Those who have watched Cordell run this year can tell you that she has plenty of competition — it’s just usually running behind her.

I’ll see you at a meet.

State), Maya Pedersen (Dayton) and Chelsea Scott (Pittsburgh) all recently made their college choices. The trio was expected to participate in a signing ceremony in early May. Cavin chose Ohio State over Oregon after being the last of the three to make her decision.

“Actually it’s been going really well,” Cavin said. “(Jones) has been pushing us hard. I think we’re ahead of where we were last year.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

ter than the seed we were given (31st), but we have to go out and prove that next week.”

Senior catcher Tiffany Ricks would like to see the Raiders head into the postseason on a positive note.

“The main thing is we want to finish stronger,” she said. “Our defense has performed well lately, but we can’t keep making mental errors and (we) have to support each other. When we get behind, we get defeated.”

Peters said the Raiders have been improving defensively “Our defense has improved a lot since the start of the season, but now we’ve got to focus on our offense, too, and not go

down on called third strikes and get our confidence at the plate, and then everything else should fall into place.”

Reynoldsburg trailed Grove City — the fourth seed in the district — 3-0 through four innings in their OCC-Ohio game on April 29, but the Greyhounds scored nine runs in the fifth inning to win 12-0. The Raiders had just one hit.

“I wasn’t happy with (placing fifth),” Kitchen said. “The OCCs can be a long day. You’re playing someone you either beat or lost to the first time, so there’s that rematch aspect to it.”

Cuco’s Taqueria serves up unbeatable values Because today is Cinco de Mayo, why not beat the burrito-buzzsawing crowds by igniting your fiesta well before noon?

I’m not talking about drinking all day long (though I’m not ruling it out, either), I’m suggesting you jump-start your morning with a zesty and stunningly cheap Mexican breakfast at Cuco’s.

Most people know Cuco’s as one of the best full-service Mexican restaurants

Chilaquiles at Cuco's Taqueria.

MENU

by G.A. Benton

in Columbus, and it is certainly that. But the family- and party-friendly Cuco’s serves up some unbeatable first-meal values, too.

I’ll admit at first it felt a bit odd settling into a roomy booth in the modest and amusingly Mexi-kitschy Cuco’s at 9 a.m. I’m so used to digging into their fresh chips and salsa and heck-yeah margaritas (the Original, on the rocks and with half the sugar is my local benchmark)

By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek that lurking over eggs and diner-style coffee

(sometimes flavored with cinnamon) almost seemed surreal.

So I ordered a Vampiro cocktail to get my mind right. Made with tequila, grapefruit soda and the bracing tequila chaser called sangrita, it tastes entertainingly citrusy, spicy, sweet and tart. Anyway, sucking on that Vampiro proved to be an inspired idea.

So did ordering the smorgasbord-like El Tapatio platter ($6.25). Kinda like breakfast, lunch and dinner all on a single huge plate, it’s a phenomenal deal. I got three eggs over greasy; a generous mound of addictive Mexican hash (crispy fried potato cubes blended with lots of properly fat-rendered and zingy chorizo); two terrific barbacoa tacos fashioned with soft corn tortillas wrapped around spicy, juicy and super-tender beef; and rich refried beans laced with melted cheese.

Equally giddy-making in variety and size and likewise providing killer value is the hog-out ensemble called Nuevo

Cuco’s Taqueria 2162 Henderson Road, Upper Arlington 614-538-8701 cucostaqueria.com

after the eggs in the previous dish (well, plus rice and beans — don’t think you’re getting off that easy here) by ordering the good Huevos Rancheros ($5.25).

In general, Chilaquiles ($5) is a clever Mexican leftovers meal made by stewing yesterday’s tortillas with condiments and other flavor enhancers. At Cuco’s, this translated into a piquant, cooked salsa verde playing off of a fresh tomato pico de gallo plus three eggs (of course), cheese and sides of those irresistible breakfast potatoes and refried beans.

For something a little more unusual, but still nice, try the Oaxaqeña ($6.75).

This was three ample enchiladas crammed with scrambled eggs and spuds wholly slathered in a stout black bean sauce.

Like all of the breakfasts at Cuco’s, it’s an incredibly generous serving of food and flavor for a mere pittance of pesos.

Amaneser ($7).

The roll call on that one went like this: • Three fried eggs (because three’s better than two, right?) enticingly simmered in a zippy ranchero sauce then winningly plopped atop fried corn tortillas • Soupy, full-flavored black beans • What the menu calls bacon or sausage but happily turned out to be more of that well-done chorizo • Two big and very nice pancakes (dessert’s too often neglected in the morning, don’t you think?) that were light, had attractively crisp exteriors, were pleasantly flavored with vanilla and sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Chefs to converge for fourth Taste event Kevin Caskey can’t wait to show off his chops next week at the fourth annual Taste of Dine Originals.

The chef and owner of Skillet in Schumacher Place will serve raspberry panna cotta with rhubarb and lemon verbena, along with some other creations.

Caskey is among 50 chefs participating in the fourth annual event, to be held May 12 at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, 505 W. Whittier St. He said he hasn’t participated for two years and is eager to get back.

“It’s good exposure for our group as a whole,” he said. “We’re all independently owned restaurants, and we’re a diverse group. And in one night you can taste not only the food offerings but understand the concept and thoughts that went into the development of the restaurants that make up our group.”

The gala will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased at www.dineoriginalscolumbus.com. Some tickets might be available on the day of the event and may be purchased at the door.

Proceeds benefit Dine Originals Columbus and the Buckeye Ranch, which provides mental-health treatment and alcohol and drug services for chilBy Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek dren with behavioral or psychological and subKevin Caskey, owner and chef of Skillet, puts stance-abuse disorders. raspberries on the raspberry panna cotta with “We’re blessed to be part of the event for four lemon and rhubarb verbena. It is one of the dishes years,” said Michelle Aro, development coordinahe is making for the Taste of Dine Originals event tor at the Buckeye Ranch. “The partnership we’ve to be held May 12 at Grange Insurance Audubon built with the Columbus Dine Originals group has Center. been fantastic. They’ve been a wonderful group to

work with.”

The event has been moved from the Smith Bros’Hardware Co. building downtown because it simply outgrew the space, said Katharine Moore, executive director of the local chapter of Dine Originals.

The Audubon Center, on the Whittier Peninsula, provides a modern backdrop with attractive surroundings, she said.

“We thought it really complemented our messaging and mission because they are green and our members have that commonality,” Moore said. “It’s such a beautiful oasis in downtown Columbus that people don’t know about. So it’s fun for us to introduce that venue to a whole new crowd.

In addition to food, more than 30 vineyards will be represented, as well as local breweries and micro distilleries. One of those is Watershed Distillery, just outside Grandview Heights.

“We are excited to be a part of it,” Greg Lehman, co-founder of the company, said of the celebration.

“I think it’s a good way for us to be involved locally.”

A silent auction will feature cooking lessons, private dinners, special events, art and rare bottles of wine. Moore said chefs look forward to showing off their talents and mixing with the crowd.

“They have fun riffing off each other,” she said.

“They’re very competitive on what they put out.

But they’re there to talk to their customers in a way that they just don’t have the opportunity to on

Recipe of the week

Chicken and potatoes will be the obvious staple of Chix & Fries, a new enterprise Maple blueberry crème owned by Jim brulee, courtesy of Brian Mandas, formerly McCafferty of Matt the of the Boulevard Miller’s.

Grille in recently torn-down City Center Mall, and a silent partner.

They will tear down an existing BP gas station to make way for the new 2,000-square-foot building at 3255 Silver Drive, where North Broadway and Interstate 71 meet near Clintonville.

Chix & Fries will offer grilled chicken tenders, fried boneless tenders and chicken wings and french fries, plus four or five signature sauces and sandwiches. The restaurant should be open sometime in the fall, Mandas said.

He said the place is bringing back the Italian herb-crusted chicken sandwich that was popular at the Boulevard Grille and the Columbus Arts Festival. The food at the new restaurant will be competitively priced, he said.
