Marble Cliff Village Council

Variances for NiSource plans approved

By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Marble Cliff Village Council Monday approved three variances to Riverside 10 LLC for issues relating to the redevelopment of the NiSource property at 1600 Dublin Road.

Riverside, a partnership between Columbus developer Don Casto and Bexley resident Robert Meyers, principal of Mansfield-based Lawyers Development Corp., has purchased the property and is looking to fill the remaining office space

at the site.

Meyers told council the main building on the south end of the site is currently occupied on the first and third floors by Time Warner and on the second floor by NiSource. NiSource also occupies a portion of the second building, located to the east, he said.

An agreement is expected to be signed this week for a tenant that would bring about 60 employees to the site, Meyers said. The positions would be “white collar, lower and upper management” in nature. The tenant would occupy about

11,600 square feet.

For the remaining 80,000 square feet of available space, the developers have received proposals representing about 200,000 square feet of space, he said.

“We hope some of those would come in by the end of the year and (the building) would be 100-percent occupied,” Meyers said.

About 360 employees will be working at the building, he said, including the 60 positions the new tenant will bring.

The expectation is another 300 employees could be added as new tenants are

signed.

As part of the redevelopment of the site, a “portal” connecting the two buildings will be constructed to serve as a “unifying structure” between them, architect John Behal told council.

The number of parking spaces at the site will be increased from 590 to 640 to handle the anticipated additional employees, he said.

To increase the parking, one area of the existing parking lot will be expanded, a reconfiguration will be made and the parking area to the front of the site

Wood likes being small town chief

Ludwig, Balla retiring after three decades with GHPD

For David Wood, being named as Grandview Heights police chief is the culmination of a 33-year career in law enforcement.

“I always felt I was living my life to be a chief in a small community,” he said. “Being involved in a community like Grandview — I’m looking forward to that.”

Wood started as police chief on May 3, replacing Rollin Kisser, who retired March 31.

Wood retired April 1 from the Columbus Police Department, where he had spent his entire law enforcement career, including 29 years on the SWAT team. In 1995, he was named as lieutenant in charge of the SWAT Section, Hostage Negotiation Team and K-9 Unit.

“I loved my years on SWAT and loved working with such a dedicated team of men,” he said.

But serving as a chief in a smaller community will give him an opportunity to handle a wider range of issues than he could in SWAT, Wood said.

His interest in law enforcement as a career began in high school, he said.

“I think it began with the simple idea of wanting to help people,” Wood said.

His father was dead set against his career goals, however, and suggested his son go to college and pursue a business career.

“I loved my Dad and respected his views, so I went to college and got my degree in business administration and went to work

will be expanded by 36 feet, Behal said.

A potential accessory building that would likely be a bank could be built on the site in the future, he said.

The accessory building would not be a fast-food restaurant, Behal said.

The variances that were being sought were all minor in nature, he said.

The ordinances approved by council grant: • A height variance. Village code sets a 35-foot height limit for buildings, “which

Garden Club helps keep Grandview beautiful

By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

lthough part of their mission is to promote home gardening, the members of the Grandview Garden Club are also involved in a number of projects that help keep the community beautiful.

“We’re very interested in community preservation and beautification,” club president Donivee Walters said.

On May 11, club members spent the afternoon completing their annual spring spruce-up of Memorial Park.

It is perhaps fitting that Grandview police sergeants Mike Ludwig and Larry Balla are both retiring at about the same time.

The two began working as Franklin County sheriff’s deputies in 1979, along with fellow Grandview police officer Mark Beeba, and both started their three decades in Grandview on the same date — Jan. 31 — two years apart.

Ludwig, who retired on May 3, joined the Grandview Division of Police on Jan. 31, 1980, one day before Beeba.

Balla, who started in Grandview on Jan. 31, 1982, will retire on June 8.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet,” Ludwig said of his retirement. “I come in (to the department) to work out and I’m still going to be working as a reserve officer. So far, it feels more like I’ve just been on vacation the last couple weeks. I’m sure it will sink in later in the summer, and when I don’t have to go out on those cold, snowy nights.”

Balla will actually be going on a vacation immediately following his last day. He will be taking a motorcycle trip to the Grand

“We come out every May to get the park looking nice for the Memorial Day service,” Walters said.

The club planted flowers featuring red, white or blue colors around the park and also placed a new wreath at the park.

Club members put in new plants in the spring and fall and also look after the park throughout the year, Walters said.

“We take a lot of pride in taking care of Memorial Park,” she said. “It’s an important part of the community.”

Canyon with a friend.

“When I get back, and I don’t have to wake up to an alarm in the morning, then it’s going to feel real,” he said of his retirement.

For Ludwig, his interest in law enforcement began in his early teens.

“It’s what I always wanted to do,” he said. “Too much ‘Adam12’and ‘Dragnet,’I guess,” he said.

Before being hired by the sheriff’s department, Ludwig worked as a security officer for Lazarus.

After a stint as a security officer in Pennsylvania, Balla also decided to pursue a career as a police officer.

“I knew a couple police officers and sheriff’s deputies, and I thought that had to be better” (than what he was doing), he said. Along with an Air Force friend, he took the Columbus police and Franklin County sheriff’s deputy tests “because there weren’t a lot of openings in Pennsylvania.”

Both men said the opportunity to work with and get to know the public is one of the best aspects of being a police officer, especially in a small community like Grandview.

Memorial Day Service to kick off weekend of activities

By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff communities will honor the area’s fallen soldiers May 26 at the annual Memorial Day Service.

The service, conducted by the Blue Star Mothers, will be held at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Park. In

case of rain, the ceremony will be held indoors in the Grandview Heights High School auditorium.

Grandview Mayor Ray DeGraw will serve as guest speaker.

As he did at last year’s service, DeGraw will again provide background information about several of the names on the roll of honor.

Former Grandview resident Jeff Linn will again play bagpipes as

part of the service.

“It was such a moving feature last year that we encouraged the mayor to do it again,” said Sean Robey, parks and recreation director.

Because of a threat of rain, last year’s service was moved to the high school auditorium.

Other music for the ceremony will be provided by the Grand-

view Heights High School Band, which will present a concert immediately following the service.

The event will include the traditional reading of the names of area residents who have lost their lives in military service. The names will be read by GHHS senior class president Haden DeRoberts.

As each name is read, a poppy will be placed on a wooden cross

in honor of that person.

The Memorial Day parade will begin at 10 a.m. May 28.

“We’re again inviting all veterans who live in our community to serve as grand marshals for the parade,” Robey said.

If they want, veterans can call the parks and recreation department office at 488-3111 to confirm they will be participating in

the parade, he said.

The parade route will start at Cambridge Boulevard and First Avenue and continue down First to Pierce Field.

The municipal swimming pool will also open for the season at 1 p.m. May 28.

The Memorial Day weekend activities “are a real slice of Americana,” Robey said.

seems prudent for residences,” Behal said.

The two buildings at the NiSource site have heights of 42 and 43 1/2 feet and the “portal” is planned to be a bit taller at 50 feet, requiring the variance, he said.

• A lot coverage variance. Village code sets a 70-percent lot coverage limit. The developer needs “a bit more” to accommodate the expanded parking, Behal said.

• A variance allowing occupancy of public right-of-way. The occupancy of the public right-of-way already exists at the site, Behal said. The variance would “legitimize” what already exists.

All three ordinances were approved as emergency measures, meaning they become effective immediately.

Meyers said the plan is to have the redevelopment of the site completed by November.

after school at the Quaker Oats company in Marion,” he said.

“I spent two years there, but I just couldn’t see myself in anything but law enforcement. Business just wasn’t for me.”

He applied with the Columbus Police Department and became an officer in 1978.

“I haven’t had one minute of regret since then,” Wood said.

The early “rosy-eyed” ideal of wanting to help people evolves “as you become more seasoned,” he said. “You see that there are really bad people out there. Your focus becomes wanting to step between the bad people and the good people and lock up the bad people.

“It’s very rewarding work,” Wood said.

Working in hostage negotiation often meant not just saving the life of hostages, but of people intent on killing themselves, as well, he said.

“It’s not the same thing, of course, but I sometimes thought it was close to the experience of giving birth,” Wood said.

“You’re giving someone another chance at life.”

As police chief, his priority will be making Grandview and Marble Cliff as safe as possible, he said.

“Safety is paramount. I want to help make this the kind of community people expect it to be,” Wood said. “Certainly, being chief here is different than

being chief in Columbus or Los Angeles or Miami-Dade County.

“I want to find out what the community wants in its police department, talking to residents, the mayor and city council.” he said. “I’m looking forward to learning. I have a lot to learn.”

Wood said he would like to see an even greater emphasis on “community policing” in Grandview.

“I think police officers should always be more involved in the community,” he said. “That helps people feel more comfortable to call us” when they see something suspicious.

“We can’t do this alone,” he said. “We need the community’s help.”

He has some familiarity with Grandview, having grown up in Upper Arlington and attended Bishop Watterson High School.

Wood’s grandmother lived on Ashland Avenue and passed away while a resident at St. Raphael’s Home for the Aged in Marble Cliff. His best friend while growing up also lived in Grandview.

“I don’t know every street, but it’s not like my first assignment as an officer in Linden, where I had no idea where I was,” Wood said. “Grandview is just a great community. I’m lucky to be here.”

Wood and his wife, Tobi, live in Worthington. They have four children and four grandchildren.

“I like dealing with people,” Balla said. “It’s a lot more personal in a small community. You really get to know people.”

For him, being a police officer has been “really fun” since the department started its motorcycle patrol in 2005.

“It’s great, because on a motorcycle, you’re a lot more accessible to people,” he said. “You get to talk to a lot more people and there’s a lot of places you can go on a motorcycle you can’t in a patrol car.”

The public has taken to the motorcycle patrol, something that wasn’t expected when it was created, Balla said.

“I guess everybody likes motorcycles, or their Dad had a motorcycle, or they have a motorcycle or their wife won’t let them have a motorcycle,” he said.

Ludwig has also spent a lot of time on two wheels, but without a motor. He has been part of the department’s bicycle patrol since it started in earnest in the late 1980s.

“Like with motorcycles, I think it’s easier for the public to relate to the officer when he’s on a bicycle,” he said. “There’s no car door or window to deal with.

“I’m going to miss the public contact,” Ludwig said. “And we’ve had good quality people to work with here over the years at this department.”

Working in a small community can be a double-edged sword, he said.

“You know everybody, which is nice, but it can be tough having to give a ticket to people you know,” Ludwig said. “Fortunately, most people are understanding.

“It’s the people I’ll miss the most,” he said. “Thirty-one years in the same community, you make a lot of friends.”

Even with the thousands of calls they’ve handled over the past three decades in Grandview, both Balla and Ludwig can point to one or two incidents that stand out.

For Balla, one occurred in the late 1990s when he and other officers and firefighters saved an elderly man from a burning building.

Another memorable incident occurred about a dozen years ago when he was involved in the arrest of a man who had just committed a murder and was about to try to kill another person.

“It was difficult because we couldn’t get him to take his hands

out of his pockets,” Balla said.

“We didn’t know what he was going to do and we almost had to shoot him. I’m so grateful we didn’t have to take that step.

“That was an incident that stayed with us all for a long time,” he said.

Ludwig remembers a time when, still working as a patrol officer, he took part “in probably the shortest high-speed chase in Grandview history.”

He had noticed a slow-moving vehicle in the area of Fairview and First Avenue.

“I thought he might either be drunk or lost,” Ludwig said. “I activated my lights to try to stop him, and when he reached Broadview and First, he floored it” reaching a speed of 90 mph.

The driver quickly lost control of his vehicle, which flipped and rolled at least once and possibly three times, he said.

“He lost an arm out of it,” Ludwig said. “It turned out he was under the influence of alcohol, and probably some kind of drug as well.”

As they sat together reflecting on their three decades in Grandview, both Ludwig and Balla had to laugh.

“How many different mayors and police chiefs have we had,” Ludwig said. “I think we’ve gone through, what is it, nine police chiefs and six mayors? That’s amazing.”

“It’s been a lot of fun,” Balla said. “It’s kept my interest all these years. It’s a job that brings a lot of satisfaction.”

Students who want to bring in their own laptop computers and access the district’s wireless system will have to register, so any inappropriate usage of the Internet will be traceable, he said.

Students who have smartphones with Internet access, will be able to use their devices in the classroom, O’Reilly said.

The acceptable use policy is brought to the board every year, and usually with little or no discussion, he said.

But the shift in policy makes this year different, O’Reilly said.

The policy change “is all about giving students more access,” he said.

classes and 15 have signed up for the half-day class, he said.

The district will have three allday classes next year and will hold one half-day class in the morning, O’Reilly said.

The board also approved switching to Aetna for the district’s employee group health insurance plan.

United Health Care has been the district’s insurance provider for the past 20 years.

Aetna offered a package that included a one-year rate increase of 26.8 percent, plus a second year renewal at a fixed rate increase of 15 percent.

United Health Care offered a package that included a 28-percent rate increase.

“We really appreciate the effort the garden club takes in helping keep Memorial Park looking so nice,” said Sean Robey, parks and recreation director.

Other club community projects include installing planters each year in front of Grandview Heights High School and supplying a different floral arrangement each month for the Grandview Heights Public Library.

As part of its mission to promote youngsters’ interest in gardening, the club also sponsors a spring “Garden Party” activity at the library each year, Walters said.

Last month’s event offered children in kindergarten through fourth grade the opportunity to make their own bird feeders.

The club is also involved in charitable activities, including participating in the national “Pennies for Pines” program and collecting bottle caps for recycling, Walters said.

Monthly club meetings are held during the spring, summer and fall in members’ homes, she said.

“We often have guest speakers for our meetings,” Walters said.

“We also go on tours at places like Chadwick Arboretum and Inniswood Gardens.”

While gardening is a focus of the club, members also have a lot of fun socializing at their various functions, said Shirley Doolittle, who has been a member since 1962.

“That’s why I’ve stayed involved all these years,” she said. “It’s just a friendly group. We used to be more formal.”

Marcia Thomas has been a club member for two years.

“I really enjoy gardening at home,” she said. “It’s really satisfying to plant something and help it grow.”

The Grandview Garden Club is always looking for new members, Walters said. Anyone interested in joining can call her at 4889281 or any other club member.

The Grandview Heights Board of Education May 10 approved a change in policy to allow students to use their own laptop computers and other personal devices with Internet features at school next year.

The board approved a staff and student acceptable use policy for the 2011-12 school year that represents “a significant change,” Superintendent Ed O’Reilly said.

“It’s hard to teach responsibility” if there is a restrictive policy in place, he said. “Our kids are responsible.

“We have an open lunch because our kids are responsible,”

Access is one of the pillars of the acceptable use policy, which states that “technology is fundamental to the daily lives” of students.

Other pillars are information literacy in order to teach students to become discerning and intelligent consumers of information; innovation; freedom; and responsibility.

“We need to teach kids to be responsible citizens in a digital world,” O’Reilly said. “We can’t do that without letting them use” technology.

In other business, O’Reilly updated the board on kindergarten registration for next school year.

Forty-eight students are confirmed for all-day kindergarten

Its origins are unclear but the ridges suggest erosion from runoff from the higher elevations of Wyman Woods.

Letter

Budget choices are not budget imperatives To the editor: The drastic cuts — 19 percent next year and 27 percent in the following year — that are expected in state funding to the excellent schools in the Grandview Heights City School District are not inevitable consequences of the economic slowdown. Instead, they reflect the deliberate priorities of Gov. Kasich and his allies at the Statehouse.

The state of Ohio intends to spend $1.4 billion this year on economic development — more than 100 times as much as Flori-

da — according to a USA Today article of April 25. Much of the $1.4 billion fund will be used to subsidize businesses looking for hand-outs.

For example, we have already learned that Bob Evans will get about $8 million in state money to move its headquarters from Columbus to New Albany. No new jobs at the company are expected to result from the move.

On the other hand, Gov. Kasich’s proposed budget slashes state funding for K-12 public education by $1 billion next year.

Improving the knowledge and skills of Ohio’s students is an effective way to contribute to our long-term prosperity, but the governor is unwilling to support adequate spending for education because some of that money goes to teachers, whom he views as his political opponents.

In short, it’s not the money that’s the problem with Ohio’s budget. It’s the decisions by those who control the money.

As it were

Post-Revolutionary War land was cheap in Ohio Ohio did not exist when the Nelsons came into the place that later would become Columbus. In 1800, central Ohio was truly on the edge of the frontier that had been claimed finally by the victory of Gen. Anthony Wayne’s army at the Battle of Fallen Tim- ED bers in 1794. LENTZ It was a long, difficult and nasty struggle.

In the years after the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, Great Britain had claimed by treaty rights most of the land north and west of the Ohio River. It was a rich land with deep forests, great prairies and rivers that ran clean, wide and deep. It was a land worth fighting for and many people did just that.

Wanting to maintain the lucrative fur trade that had made a fortune for the French, the British government tried to keep its restless Atlantic colonists away from Ohio. It was a vain effort. The initial ventures of men called “long hunters” soon were followed by dozens and then hundreds of settlers seeking to find a new home in a new country. The American Indian residents of the Ohio Valley resisted the newcomers, and the result often was violent and deadly on both sides. Then came the American Revolution, and the Ohio country was the scene of even more death and destruction.

At the end of the Revolution, the newly created United States found itself with an unpaid army and a lot of very large debts. And while the new country had little money, it had a lot of land. So the new country took the obvious course and paid its soldiers and creditors in land and then offered much of what remained for sale.

It was the promise of that new and inexpensive land that drew people like David Nelson and his family to Ohio.

Born in 1752, David Nelson was the oldest son of Robert and Martha Nelson of Anderson’s Ferry, Pa. When David was 3, the family moved to the frontier of Juniata County, Pa., and it was there that David came of age. After the outbreak of the American Revolution, he enlisted with several relatives in the “Eighth Company,

in the Lost Creek Valley” of Pennsylvania. “She had dark-brown hair, hazel eyes, regular features, fine complexion and was of a mild and kindly disposition.”

Like many other people of their generation, the Nelsons came to believe that a better life awaited them in the new lands north and west of the Ohio River. They moved first to Chillicothe and lived there for a couple of years while David and his oldest son, Robert, looked for a new home in central Ohio. At length they found it along Alum Creek in what then was called the Refugee Tract. Set aside for people from Nova Scotia who had lost land because of their loyalty to the American Revolution, the tract began at the Scioto River and ran east between what is now Fifth Avenue and Refugee Road.

After the claims of the refugees were settled, the balance of the tract was made available in open

On May 14, 1778, he was commissioned a captain after serving through the long winter at Valley Forge.

In March 1779, David returned to his home and soon married Margaret Logan, a widow with two young sons. In addition to raising the two boys, David and Margaret had seven children of their own.

The Nelsons lived in central Pennsylvania until 1798, when they decided to move west to the new and inexpensive lands in Ohio.

A grandchild later wrote a description of David Nelson in those years. “He was generous but stern, with a strict sense of duty and very strong in his prejudices. He was a very handsome man, abovemedium height, a fine person, regular features, black curly hair, very dark brown, almost black eyes.”

His wife, Margaret, once was described as “the prettiest woman

LENTZ Continued from page A4 sale. Some of it along Alum Creek was acquired by David Nelson and his family. Arriving in central Ohio in 1800, the Nelsons first built a log house that would serve as the family home for the next two decades.

Margaret Nelson wrote to her son by a former marriage in 1801: “Our new cabin is dry, and we have plenty of room, and no matter what the weather, the chimney does not smoke. My two ewes and three lambs had 10 pounds of clean, picked wool, which we are beginning to feel the need of. Last year, we had 50 yards of linen out of our hemp. We have lost two milch cows and one heifer. They are dead before we know they are sick. We have four milch cows and two heifers yet, without going in debt for them. The families along the creek have been tolerably healthy, except Mr. Turner. He had the fever and ague and Mr. Hamilton and some of the children, too.

I have had my health this season as well as ever I had.”

In 1819, David Nelson built a large brick house along the road that later would bear his name.

Strong in their religious faith, they were early supporters of the first Presbyterian Church founded in the area by the Rev. James Hoge.

For many years, the family traveled along a mud path through the forest to the church, first in Franklinton and then in the new village of Columbus. The path later became Broad Street.

A later letter from Margaret Nelson to her son described the importance of religion in their lives: “We have had an uncommon cold winter and a cold, wet spring. The fruit is nearly all killed, and the cornfields in many places will have to be planted over. There has been a revival of religion this winter,

more than I have ever known, in Columbus, Chillicothe and different places. A number have been added to the church.

“The Presbyterian Meeting House was finished in the winter, when the roads were good for sleighing and the house was dedicated and the sacrament held the same week. There were four or five ministers in town, and one stayed six or eight weeks, visiting from house to house, having a sermon or prayer meeting at night and Bible classes.”

The Nelsons lived in one of the

first suburbs of the new capital city for a number of years until the death of David Nelson in 1829.

His wife, Margaret, died two years later in 1831.

At the corner of Clifton Avenue and Nelson Road, a small sign remembers the Nelson mill and the frontier community that once was around it. And just up the road on the left — within sight of the sign -— still stands the red-brick house of the Nelsons of Nelson Road.

Tics in children are quite common Tics are sudden, involuntary, repetitive movements (motor tics) or sounds (vocal tics). The most common motor tics are frequent eye blinking, nose twitching and head shaking. Common vocal tics include humming, grunting or saying actual words. Some of these tics are complex and include large parts of the body (kicking, stamping).

About 3 million to 6 million Americans experience tics regularly. Tics are more common in children, where one in four has a tic during the school years. Tics are five times more common in boys than in girls. Nine out of 10 children who have tics, however, will experience significant improvements in the symptoms by they time they reach adulthood.

Tics are the most frequent symptom of Tourette syndrome, though it isn’t the only symptom. For a patient to be diagnosed as having TS, he or she has to have motor and vocal tics for at least one year. Impulsivity, attention deficit disorder, at-

tention deficit hyperactivity disorder and o b s e s s ive compulsive behaviors ( r e p e t i t ive thoughts and PEDRO movements) WEISLEDER are commonly seen in patients with TS. Cursing, which is the most publicized symptom of TS, is exceedingly rare.

Stress sometimes can make tics more severe, frequent or longer in duration. Many children with tics report the urge to perform said tic, though some can suppress this for a short time.

As tension builds, though, it eventually has to be released as a tic.

If a child is concentrating on controlling a tic, it might be difficult to focus on other tasks, such as schoolwork. Because tics are outside a child’s control, children should not be disciplined for exhibiting them.

In most patients, the symptoms of TS are mild and not nec-

essarily an indication of a more serious disorder. For that reason, physicians at Nationwide Children’s Hospital tend to avoid prescribing medications for the condition. Moderate to severe cases of TS can be treated with psychological therapy (habit-reversal therapy) or one of a series of prescription medications. It is important to know, however, that there is no single medication that is helpful to all individuals with tics or TS. For more information on tics and TS, as they relate to children, parents should consult their primary-care physician. Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers treatment for severe cases, and more information is available from the Tourette Syndrome Association of America. Visit www.tsausa.org.

Dr. Pedro Weisleder is associate professor and director of the child-neurology residency program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital — The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

never bargained for Lez Zeppelin, the all-female quartet that pays tribute to the famed rock n’ rollers without being a “tribute band.”

Founder and guitarist Steph Paynes told The Beat Lez Zep started with a simple principle: “I set out to do this in a naïve way because I love this music and it became my fantasy to get to play it,” she recalled. “If a tribute band sets out to create the illusion that what you’re seeing is the real thing — that’s never what we wanted to do.”

“I had gotten remastered Led Zeppelin records as a gift,” she explained. “I had always enjoyed them but never really dug that deep. It blew my mind in a new way — it sounded better than anything else. I was between gigs and, well, I’d had an all-girl band in the early ’90s, so I thought it would be more novel to try and play this music this way.

Paynes admitted that at first, she hoped the novelty of the approach would garner the new band a couple of gigs. She soon discovered the endeavor would have one distinct disadvantage, coupled with one distinct advantage.

“People had never seen women play like this,” she said, “and this music was always considered such a ‘male’ expression. Once we embarked on this, we knew we had to play in the right way and that because we were women, we had to do a superb job.”

The best way to do that, she decided, was not to attempt to

Lez Zeppelin will play the Friday, May 20, pre-festival fifth anniversary Party at Rock on the Range at Crew Stadium. For ticket information, call 1-800-745-3000. The festival will be held at Crew Stadium Saturday and Sunday, May 21-22. For a full schedule and ticket information, visit www.rockontherange.com.

replicate the songs note-for-note, but to “bring the full Led Zeppelin live experience to people.

They were four guys playing together intensely, but in the moment, with improvs and extended jams. That’s what we do.”

She said there was no triedand-true method for finding the right bandmates; she auditioned plenty of great players who just weren’t right. Ultimately, she said, a combination of being good, being stylistically appropriate and being willing, in some combination, was the formula.

(The current lineup — and players have come and gone in the years since Paynes first formed Lez Zep — includes bassist Megan Thomas, drummer Leesa Harrington-Squyres and singer Shannon Conley.)

The advantage to her all-girl approach was unexpected. Led Zeppelin’s look — long hair, tight pants, billowy shirts and accent scarves and necklaces — worked pretty well for a bunch of girls.

“Led Zeppelin was doing

male posturing dressed as women,” Paynes said. “There’s a certain alchemy of male and female energy that works for us.

It really churns things up, to have that gender, that sexual dynamic.”

Ultimately, Paynes said Lez Zeppelin adheres to its original “noble cause,” which is to just keep playing this music. She said their shows find everyone from teenagers who’ve recently discovered the original article to women (who many thought had no interest in Led Zep’s music) to older fans who “tell us they saw Led Zeppelin seven times or whatever and tell us ‘You’re doing it right.’

“That means we’re on the right track.”

Fortune Chinese Restaurant offers lengthy menu “Hot Pepper Frog, Homestyle Made Frog, or Frog Stir-Fried with Pickle Chili?” asked my sister, flashing an oftpracticed devilish grin.

We were plotting our order from the provocative, lengthy and new menu in Fortune Chinese Restaurant. Recently implemented by the place’s new owners, that voluminous food list includes many intriguing looking dishes which appear to substantiate the menu’s claim of “The Best Selection of Authentic Szechuan Style Food.”

As we expressed hope that Fortune’s execution of Szechuan dishes would match its self-heralded “selection,” we also commented on how drastically the once-Cantonese-centric cuisine there had changed.

Too bad we couldn’t say the same about Fortune’s drab decor. Because although Fortune has received a muchneeded housecleaning, sprucing up and coat of paint (albeit in a pale, wan yellow), it still has a dingy dropped ceiling, industrial carpet, goofy 3D-type

So how was the food? In general, I found it to be salty, saucy, aggressive and oily. Since that also describes me, we got along famously. In fact, slurping up Fortune’s inexpensive but explosively flavored grub was so much fun I didn’t much mind that the Tsingtao beer bottle on my table was the place’s best claim to ambience.

As for ordering strategies, except for the chef’s specials, we took the menu’s implicit suggestion and stuck with any section mentioning Szechuan in its header (there are four).

Thin and crispy rice cakes gave off an audible sizzle on the plate (think “snap crackle pop”) when doused with an enormous bowl of impressively tender battered whitefish planks and a cornucopia of veggies (starring Chinese broccoli) swimming in a sea of wild and thick, salty, sweet and spicy sauce.

Hot Pepper Frog ($11): A rare sauce-free Fortune preparation, this was battered and fried bundles of froggy, tossed with leafy celery tops, jalapeno, scallion and a volatile arsenal of firecracker-like fried red chili peppers. I liked it, but there were a lot of tiny, hidden bones in those battered bites.

Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry ($8): Like a pleasantly bitter sauteed salad of slivered carrots and green veggies dressed in soy sauce and cooking oil, this functions well as a palate-refreshing side to the rich, spicy and more complex flavors of many dishes here.

Revamped Westerville pizzeria now offers baked pies In perfect conditions, customers have only a short wait for a freshly baked pie at Runaway Pasta & Pizza in Westerville.

With his handy Hhc 2020 TurboChef oven, Peter Tanski can bake a pizza in 2.5 minutes. Put another way, that’s 150 seconds.

“This is the next-generation way to cook a pizza,” he said.

Certainly, longer lines mean a longer wait for patrons, but Tanski’s lovin’ his oven. It doesn’t require an expensive ventilation system and runs off of electricity. It uses a convection-and-impingement process, meaning it simul-

taneously sucks in and pushes out air, while a catalytic converter cleans the exhaust. The conveyor unit is capable of cooking 60 pizzas in one hour.

Runaway takes over Tanksi’s former Mama Mimi’s franchise at 925 N. State St., just east of Meijer.

Runaway’s fresh-tossed dough uses flour that is free of bromate, a conditioner that strengthens the dough and allows for higher rising. Tanski prefers

the old-fashioned method.

He has three crusts: a regular style seasoned with oregano and garlic, plain wheat and a gluten-free product not made on premises. The reason being, he said, is the risk for cross-contamination.

Pizzas are 12 or 16 inches and crusts are either thin or medium-thick.

He has a full complement of designer pizza options, such as the barbecue pulled pork and spinach and artichoke dip, as well as a build-your-own section.

The big sellers right now are the deluxe and Margherita options.

He acknowledges prices are about $1 or $2 more than chain pizzas. The difference is in the ingredients, he said.

For example, Tanski also uses Stanislaus tomato products, which are made from fresh tomatoes, not concentrate. He mixes the seasonings in-house for his own distinctive flavor.

“It’s not something that’s going to be duplicated anywhere,” he said.

In addition, he uses 100 percent cheese, a mozzarella-provolone blend, and locally made Ezzo Sausage Co. pepperoni.

He prepares pizzas to

times, he sees that has an efficient method, as customers generally wait no longer than 10 minutes for their order.

Still, purchasing another oven could be necessary once business improves, he said.

The menu also includes a slate of salads, baked pasta, take-and-bake casseroles, chicken wings and a few desserts, including fresh-baked cookies. Sandwiches could be offered in the future, he said.

“Doing things people are familiar with but in your own way is the way to succeed, I think,” he said.

Tanski is looking into adding some seating in the 1,453-square-foot space, which does not provide a dine-in experience.

Runaway is open lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614-523-3000.

The latest Ohio-made vodka has a Columbus connection.

Karl Schneider of Upper Arlington is among a group of investors behind Buckeye Vodka, which is produced in Dayton. The premium, small-batch vodka uses distilled water from a direct source — Crystal Water Co. — and is distilled 10 times for an unmistakably smooth, clean and pure flavor, spokeswoman Michele Mooney said. It is available at several local stores, including many local Giant Eagle and Kroger stores, High Street Beverage and Huffman’s Market.

Commentary

Bobcats learn life lesson in ‘victory’ Participation in sports is much more than kids burning off excess energy playing games. It’s a microcosm of life.

Athletes not only learn how to hit a baseball or softball, how to make a bounce pass in the lane, how to execute a doubleleg takedown or how to condition and pace themSCOTT selves during a two-mile HENNEN run. They also acquire skills needed to work with others toward a common goal, to win or lose gracefully and to play by the rules.

Sometimes, though, the interpretation of rules can interfere with the efforts put forth by competitors and, for lack of a better explanation, make little or no sense.

Take, for example, an outstanding effort by Luke Evans, a freshman on the Grandview Heights High School boys track and field team.

With the Bobcats and Liberty Union tied for the lead (123 points) before the final two events of the MSL-Cardinal Division meet May 13 at Berne Union, Evans and teammate Chase Gage finished second (10 minutes, 25.0 seconds) and third (10:27.59), respectively, in the 3,200 meters behind Austin McClean of West Jefferson (10:19.69).

That gave the Bobcats a 137132 edge before the final event, the 1,600 relay. The lead was short lived because Evans was disqualified minutes after his race because of a uniform violation. He was wearing black tights that fell a few inches below the hem on his uniform. That was OK; regulation, if you will.

The problem was found a couple of inches above the hem of his running shorts — a segment of half-inch gray stitching on one side of the black tights, an abnormality that would not have been seen without his running shorts hiking up while he was running.

A distraught Evans walked across the football field inside the track, head looking upward and hands interlocked just above the back of his neck.

After the disqualification, Grandview trailed 134-131.

“It had nothing to do with the race, it had nothing to do with the kids. It was just a rule,” Grandview coach Brian Schoch said. “I know it’s a rule, so I guess they had to call it.”

But not without discussion.

Schoch and several other coaches debated with officials for several minutes, but to no avail.

Evans was ticketed for the track equivalent of driving 68 mph in a 65-mph zone.

Track squads capture league championships

By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek

The Bobcats’ Sarah Meier earned Most Valuable Runner honors in the MSL-Cardinal girls meet May 13 at Berne Union after winning the 100 (12.75), 200 (25.86), 100 hurdles (15.34) and 300 hurdles (47.55).

Ryan Schofield looked into his future and liked what he saw.

The senior sprinter joined Joe Trapp, Dylan Golding and Ben Mathes on the 1,600-meter relay that finished second in 3 minutes, 33.1 seconds and clinched the Grandview Heights High School boys track and field team’s share of the MSL-Cardinal Division title on May 13 at Berne Union.

“Being a part of a league champion is great. We’ll be getting a banner in the gym and 20 years from now I can take my kids to the gym and brag about being a part of this,” Schofield said. “I have played football, I played basketball for a while and I have never been a part of a league championship team.”

The Grandview boys and girls teams swept the MSL-Cardinal championships.

It was the fourth title in a row for the girls team and the first for the boys since 1984. It also was the first time both teams won league championships in the same season.

The Bobcats easily won the girls meet with 180.5 points, finishing ahead of Fisher Catholic (128). Liberty Union

was third (105.5) followed by Licking Heights (79.5), Berne Union (73), West Jefferson (43), Millersport (29.5) and Harvest Prep (10).

“We scored (180.5) points. Wow, that’s more than 10 points per event,” coach Brian Schoch said. “That’s really a dominating performance.”

The boys tied Liberty Union for the title with 139 points, 10 more than thirdplace Berne Union (129). Licking Heights was fourth (85) followed by West Jefferson (80), Fisher Catholic (35), Harvest Prep (25) and Millersport (24).

“We came down for the finals 29 points behind out of the lead, and Liberty Union and Berne (Union) were only seven points apart,” Schoch said. “I told the boys that Liberty Union and Berne (Union) would be watching each other, and we would go past them and win.”

But it wasn’t that simple. The Bobcats were tied for the lead with Liberty Union at 123 points before the final two events when Luke Evans (10:25.0) and teammate Chase Gage (10:27.59) finished second and third, respectively, in the 3,200 meters behind Austin McClean of West Jefferson (10:19.69).

After the disqualification, Grandview trailed 134-131. The Bobcats’1,600 relay finished second with Liberty Union fourth (3:41.82) to bring about the tie.

Trapp led off the relay, giving Grandview a fast-paced start.

“Coach told us we had to beat Liberty Union by two places and he just told me to run faster than I ever had before,” Trapp said.

“When I reached the first turn, I already had cottonmouth. My mouth was so dry, but I knew I had to push through it.”

When Schofield got the baton for the anchor leg, he was 30 meters behind Licking Heights’ Daniel Helton. He cut the distance to fewer than 5 meters at the finish line.

“I almost caught him,” Schofield said. “Going in, I felt a lot of pressure, but being a senior captain, I didn’t want the others to know it was affecting me.”

Grandview’s Sarah Meier was the Most Valuable Runner in the girls meet after she won four events to score 40 points. The senior won the 100 (12.75), 200 (25.86), 100 hurdles (15.34) and 300 hurdles (47.55).

“I hate to say it, but I’m more excited about the boys finish,” Meier said. “It was awesome and a great way to win. We felt that if (the girls team) showed up and ran our races, that we would win the title.”

Other strong finishes for the girls team were turned in by Holland Jones in the long jump (second, 15-1/4), the 3,200 relay of Nikki Brown, Kaiser, Elli Moehrman and Abby Schofield (second, 10:14.82), the 400 relay of Clare Bochy, Carly Culbertson, Jones and Caitlin McAndrew (third, 51.61) and the 800 relay of the same four (third, 1:49.83).

For the boys team, Taron Slone won the 100 (10.86) and the long jump (19-9 1/2) and Nick Frye was first in the 110 hurdles (14.82) and the 300 hurdles (39.1). The 400 relay of Demetrius Clark, Frye, Holsten Jones and Slone took second (44.14) and the 800 relay of the same four finished third (1:33.46). Jonas Wahl added a third-place finish in the high jump (5-8).

The performance of Kaiser, according to coach Dean Tower, complemented the strong performances by Frye, Morris and Slone. “(Kaiser) has always said she’d like to run the low hurdles, so I said, ‘Why don’t you give it a try’ a few weeks ago,” Tower said.

“She’s run it five times, and she really came through for us.”

Watterson’s Diaz setting sights on third state title The magical high school tennis career of Watterson High School senior Chris Diaz is nearing its end.

Diaz will compete in the Division II district tournament on Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, at Columbus Academy, hoping to gain a berth in his fourth consecutive state tournament May 27-28 at Hilliard Davidson and to capture a third state championship.

As a freshman, Diaz combined with his older brother, Philip, to win the Division I state doubles title. A year later, he and Philip finished as Division I state runners-up. With his brother moving on to college, Chris won the Division II state singles title last year top cap an undefeated season.

This season, the Eagles standout also has been perfect as he heads into district play.

Diaz said he is thoroughly enjoying his final high school season.

“There’s always some pressure on you when you are a defending state champion, but I believe I have taken the level of pressure I feel down a little over the years. After Philip and I won when I was a freshman, I really thought my sophomore year was stressful and I think I have matured as a player and am trying to just have fun with these last two years.

“My strength on the court right now is my speed and anticipation. I have to overcome my lack of size by being more aggressive on the court. I think my offensive skills have improved throughout high school and that has helped make my confidence level grow as well. Now I have to use my experience, plan my game and execute that plan every match. I have to continue to focus on what I do best and hope that results in wins.”

Diaz is proud of what he has accomplished at Watterson and to be able to represent his school.

“It has been a great feeling to represent my high school in a positive way,” he said. “I have been fortunate to contribute to the Watterson

The Bobcats began Division III district competition on May 17-18 with running preliminaries and finals for field events at Gahanna. The running finals will be Saturday, May 21, at Gahanna.

The district has one meet for both the boys and girls. The top four in each event advance to regional May 25 and 27 at Fairfield Union.

“We will have to talk about who we put where because there are 31 boys teams and 31 girls teams and both only have one district,” Schoch said. “We’ll figure that out during the week, Continued from page B1 but now we’re going to be happy about (winning two (3:41.82), meaning the Bobcats league titles).” and Liberty Union were cochampions with 139 points. shennen@thisweeknews.com “We had to put up with a lot, www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com coming back from more than 20 points down, and Luke had to put up with a lot,” said Schoch, At a glance fighting back tears after an emotional 15 minutes to end the May 28 at Lancaster in regional final.

community and I am hoping to win the state singles championship again so I can leave my school on a good note. I am sure of one thing: I will continue playing as hard as I can and not let my nerves take over. It has been a wonderful four years.”

LARRY Diaz’s time as a competitive LARSON tennis player won’t be ending at state. Next year, he will begin competing for Ohio State.

“I am really excited to play for Ohio State and coach Ty Tucker,” he said. “I have always dreamed of playing and being part of the Ohio State athletic program. I know things will be really challenging for me, and I know I will have to work very hard to be successful. I will be lucky to be under the tutelage of coach Tucker, who has the record of making each player he works with better, but for now it is all about doing the best I can in these upcoming days.

“I love how competitive tennis can get. I love trying to use my strategy to win a match. I love the fact that tennis has always been part of my life and the sport has helped me become more confident as a person and it has taught me to have a good work ethic in trying to balance my schoolwork with my tennis.”

As the defending Division II state singles champion, Diaz will be the favorite at district. But he is sure to face challenges from Wellington senior Ian Wagner and Centennial junior Bogdan Cojocari, among others, in what should be a terrific two days of tennis at Academy.

I’ll see you at a match.

He pinned his opponent, so the points from the match and the points for placing third earned his team the league title by onehalf point, but that was to change.

After the referee raised the wrestler’s arm as the victor, he unsnapped his headgear, tossed it above his head in jubilation and raced to hug his coach in a moment he was sure to remember forever.

It was a pivotal moment, but for another reason. During the embrace, the referee went to the scorer’s table and took one team point away for excessive celebration, giving the wrestler’s team the runner-up trophy by one-half point. The jubilation quickly turned to disappointment.

That decision stuck with me, as does this one. There is a time and a place for making calls, and these two instances probably were not the appropriate situations.

But, as stated earlier, sports are filled with life lessons, and maybe this was an example of that. In this case, the fact is that life isn’t always fair.

In the end, the Grandview boys won their first league track and field championship since 1984, with the only consolation being that they had to be co-
