Deer-automobile collision on Alum Creek Drive.

Cautionary note: A WCRX-LP listener reports that, last Friday,  he was involved in a deer-automobile accident.

The body-shop estimate for repairs was in excess of $3,000.

Word to the wise:  add deer to the road hazards of urban driving.

Green. The public radio green choice is still WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM. Celebrate the lower energy requirements for LPFM.

Big power blasters like WOSU and WCBE consume lots of energy. These big stations have gluttonous appetites for anthracite.

WOSU alone engorges itself on almost a shovel full of coal every eighteen minutes of broadcast.

Think WOSU. Think coal. Think pollution.

A generous Thursday evening for Bexley organizations.

Last Thursday early evening was the occasion for Bexley Community Foundation announcement of its 2012 major grant awards.  The event was conducted at the Columbus Foundation building on East Broad Street.   A student jazz trio from Capital University provided music prior to the event.  Catering was provided by Cornucopia Comestibles. One hundred seventy six guest attended representing donors and grant recipients.   

Susan Quintenz chair of BCF, introduced the event

Judy Brachman, vice chair of BCF announced the individual awards.

Denise and Barry Blank were honorary chairs.  These Bexley residents were honored for establishing the first BCF named-fund, the Denise and Barry Blank Tree Fund.  Their donation supports the planting of trees in Bexley. During 2012, twenty-four trees will be planted on South Cassady Avenue in memory of twenty-four deceased members of Barry’s high school class of 1962 As children, the Blanks supported the planting of trees in Israel.  The Blank Woodland is now a glen of 2,500 trees.

Major grants announced were

Bexley Historical Society, preventive conservation assessment

Capital University and Bexley Public Library, Bexley Chautauqua event “When Ohio was the Western Frontier.”  A collaboration with Bexley Historical Society, Bexley Area Chamber of Commerce, City of Bexley Mayor’s office, City of Bexley Recreation and Parks Department, Jewish Community Center of Greater Columbus

BCF also announced the 2012 Cornerstone Award for philanthropy and community service.  Recipients of the award are Rodney and Donna Wasserstrom.  Through their family, businesses and temple they have set examples of charitable giving and community engagement that few people match.  Their willingness to help when need arises is a rare gift to the central Ohio community.

In Memorium: Joe Gatins, La Gracia Farm.

 Executive Chef Jamie Allred of the Restaurant at  Lake Rabun Hotel.  Rabun County, Georgia writes:

This past week, with the passing of Joe Gatins of "La Gracia' Farm, we lost a great leader in farming and a key supporter of the local food movement here in Rabun County.  Joe was one of the founding members of the Simply Homegrown Market in downtown Clayton, and his farm was the first in Rabun County to produce certified organic produce.  He was well known for his perennial leeks, many varieties of garlic, cucumbers, and winter squash.  Upon my arrival here in the North Georgia Mountains, Joe was one of the first farmers I came into contact with and who helped me bring a true farm to table program to Lake Rabun Hotel's Restaurant.  Through him I suddenly had a network of people eagerly ready to help supply items that many of you have experienced while dining with us.  With the help of Joe's brainstorming ideas and my dedication to bring local food to our customers, the Featured Farmer Thursday program was born on June 16th of last year with La Gracia being the first participant.  On this inaugural evening, we highlighted leeks, radishes, fresh garlic, arugula, and colored carrots from La Gracia Farm.  From that point on, every Thursday through the end of November a local farm is highlighted, and a huge portion of our dinner menu on a weekly basis contains food of local and sustainable origins.  Joe also has taught many free classes to the public regarding gardening practices, growing garlic, and seed saving, just to name a few.  He has also taught me tremendously in my own gardening endeavors.  I know that through the local food community he will live on due to the dedication, leadership, wisdom and kindness he passed to others. During one conversation I had with Joe on why he enjoyed farming so much, he said "The plants talk to me.  They spring out of the ground and they say thank you." 

 

I know many of us would like to thank Joe for what he has given us and the tremendous effort he put toward the local food movement in Rabun County.  He will be missed.

I look forward to carrying on Joe's tradition of farm to table fare, and to serving you,

Chef Jamie

Pelee Island weekend on North Shore Drive.

Pelee Island weekend on North Shore Drive.

At its western end of Pelee Island, North Shore Road. branches to become West Shore Drive and the road also continues straight ahead as a second branch to become Sheridan Point Road. 

Sheridan Point Road.  Yes, that branch is probably named after General Philip Sherman, Civil War leader. 

A small stone house stands with dignity on the lake shore at Sheridan Point.  Could the Civil War General have vacationed in this building?

Last week-end, Pelee Island was again a perfect destination.. Gentle breezes, beautiful sun during the daylight hours and at night, the moon-glow of a half-moon on the surface of the lake.

But, there was one episode, just a brief moment actually, when the political climate of modern life interfered with the old fashion charm of the island.

An obstruction stopped traffic on West Shore Drive and drivers were stopped or slowed to a crawl.  One bicyclist had dismounted and was walking his bike past the obstruction.

The obstruction?  A mixed group of adults and youths, perhaps fifteen or eighteen individuals,  sitting on the edge of the road; not the shoulder or berm, but the edge of the roadway where people drive their vehicles and ride their bikes.

A few, two or three, of the group were dressed in white robes.  Memories of chanting Hare Krishna beggers came to mind.  The rest of the settled group were in ordinary summer togs.

Most of the drivers and passengers reacted to the stupidity of the group with appropriate comments.  The best comment, not mine, was “these are Occupy Pelee protestors.”

Eventually, we started moving and progressed out of the traffic jam.  An OPP officer was driving to the problem. OPP is Ontario Provincial Police.

By the time we returned to the protest ground zero, the safety hazards were gone.

Idyllic life on Pelee Island was restored.

North Shoe Road is the preferred address on Pelee Island.  Glorious sunsets.  Gentle breezes.  Friendly neighbors.  Indulgent hosts.

Night sounds.

Night sounds. 

Some of these are audible in Bexley.  Some German Village.  Some Lake Erie.  Some elsewhere.  They are all distinctive as night sounds compared to the same sound heard in the daytime.  Did I miss any?  Let me know with a comment at the bottom of this entry.

Morning paper hitting the front door.

Freight train horn..

Ship’s fog horn.  Fog horn on shore-side facility.

Carillon.music.

Church bell ringing the hours.  How late in the night, how early in the morning?

Interstate highway traffic.

The dependable 5:55 a.m. automobile.  I always imagined that the driver was the police department dispatcher going to headquarters for the beginning of his shift.  When the new police department was built in North Bexley, the 5:55 a.m. driver continued his regular route.  I still wonder who he is and what he does.  I stopped using an alarm because of him.

Fireworks and firecrackers.

Handguns.

The rustling of leaves in a gentle summer breeze.

Thunder and lightening.

George Fabe. RIP. 1921 --- 2012

George Fabe was a building contractor in Cincinnati.  For eight years, George was Director of the Ohio Department of Insurance for Governor Dick Celeste. 

George died July 28 and a memorial service was held last Saturday at Cincinnati’s University Club.

About one hundred twenty five guests attended the memorial. Six speakers painted  word-portraits of a loving, attentive father, successful builder and active citizen

All of the speakers mentioned George’s public service at the Ohio Department of Insurance.

Eight grandchildren offered their recollections of George.  One grandson remarked, to appreciative laughter of the audience, “Grandpa always asked me ‘do you need money?’and I always said ‘Sure.’

I worked for George for almost eight years, all but the first ninety days of his appointment.  From my vantage point, I witnessed George lead projects that modernized the insurance department, expanded its staff and restruck the balance of regulation to protect policyholders and company solvency. 

At the end of his eight year tenure, George had built a regulatory institution with modern legal authorities and a staff large enough to respond effectively to an aggressive financial industry. 

Including myself, only three people from Columbus attended the memorial.  The other two central Ohio residents in attendance were Egle Gatins, an artist and Neil Rector, a regulatory consultant who had been George’s deputy. 

I didn’t recognize anyone from the insurance industry in attendance. In a poignant way, that fact alone is a tribute to the man.

A memorial program was distributed at the University Club.  A photo of George, in one of his usual Brooks Brothers suits and striped ties was on the program cover.  A slide show of color photos, confirmed what I had guessed when I first looked at the program cover.  The necktie was blue and maize.  I said to myself “I know that tie” and therein lies a story about George’s relationship with the insurance industry.

One of the insurance industry’s antagonists to George and his department was a partner at the Bricker law firm.  Although George and that particular lawyer disagreed on virtually everything, they maintained apparently cordial relations.  No.  “Cordial” is too positive..  George was civil to the attorney.  Their paths crossed regularly at the Statehouse when they offered testimony on proposed insurance legislation.  While their paths crossed regularly, George and the lawyer never had crossed swords in a public venue. 

Then one day at the House insurance committee, all decorum was abandoned.  George and the lawyer started shouting abuse at one another which quickly descended into raw name-calling.   

Who remembers what they were fighting about and who started the fight?   

The committee chairman was Representative Mike Stinziano.  He used his gavel effectively and the two men stopped their name-calling.  An awkward silence filled the committee room. 

Chairman Stinziano broke the silence with a statement that “Well gentlemen, I think we all know that you disagree about a lot of matters, but it is quite apparent to me that you agree on one thing.” 

George and the lawyer looked perplexed and waited quietly for the chairman to explain. 

Chairman Stinziano said “You share the same taste in neckties.” 

George and the lawyer were wearing identical neckties.

I learned about the story from a friendly lobbyist who called me almost immediately after the fight.  Good stories like this one are welcomed in government offices.  When the lobbyist finished, I went to Neil Rector, George’s deputy to tell him the story.  But the deputy had just heard the same story from another lobbyist.

But the identical neckties that these two men wore were not blue and maize.  That is the rest of the story.   

Neil and I decided that the likelihood was that neither George nor the lawyer would wear their ties again.  Perhaps  we should buy new neckties for the men.  New duplicate neckties.  I drove to Woodhouse Lynch and bought two identical blue and maize neckties.  Woodhouse clerk wrapped the ties in separate gift boxes.   Neil reimbursed me for half of the price.  He did complain about the price but in the end he gave in and willingly paid his half.

I delivered one of the gift boxes to the Bricker firm with a note to the lawyer that I was certain that he had already tossed his other tie into the waste basket and might be in need of a replacement.  I never got a thank you note from the lawyer.

Neil gave the second gift box to George who wore the necktie as a combat survivor’s badge.

Neil and I waited patiently for George and the Bricker lawyer to meet unsuspectingly wearing identical ties again. 

I don’t know if that ever happened.  At some point we told George about our prank.  He was amused. 

And, that is the story of the blue and maize tie that George is wearing in the photograph.

Happy trails, George.  You are missed.

Does Bexley need a bait store?

The municipal government is opening up Alum Creek to limited water sports.  With a grant from the Bexley Community Foundation the city will purchase eight kayaks for recreational use on Alum Creek.  The city has also received public money to provide access from public parklands to the waterway.

Creating easy access to Alum Creek will invite other boaters so Bexley residents can expect that Alum Creek will become a more lively public facility.

It is likely that the easier access to the creek will also invite fishermen to explore Alum Creek as a new fishing hole.  After the Alum Creek bike path was improved, fishermen joined bicyclists in using the Alum Creek as a public facility for enjoyment.

There is no bait shop in Bexley.

Going north and south from Bexley along the Alum Creek bike path for five miles in either direction you will not find a bait shop until Grove City ("Lee's Live Bait and Tackle" on London Groveport Road and Powell's "Scioto Bait and Grocery").

East from Bexley on Livingston Avenue, there is no bait shop until Pickerington's "Bassology Bait Company."

Going West, about three miles from Bexley, there is the venerable  "R & R Sports," a bait shop on South Front Street.

If Bexley opens a bait shop, "R & R" would be the nearest competitor.

Worms, crickets  and minnows, bamboo fishing poles, fishline and hooks.  A simple inventory.  Would that be enough to sustain a bait shop for Bexley?

Does Bexley need a fish bait shop?

Does Bexley need a municipal armory?

Does Bexley need a municipal armory?

The Bexley community should discuss a dangerous fact.  Most households in Bexley have at least one gun.

The purpose of a local armory would be to provide safe storage for privately owned fire arms, ammunition and other weapons.

In American history, there was a time when municipalities and counties erected local armories where weapons were stored and repaired. Ammunition was also kept safe and dry in the local armory.  Local citizens received training in military arts at the armory.  Regular drill with rifles and sidearms was provided at the municipal armory.

The local characteristic of armories changed in the twentieth century.  Local militias were superceded by state national guard units and also US Army Reserve units. 

Armories became part of the national defense infrastructure and any connection to local gun-ownership by citizens was forgotten.

If the city government provided an armory available for use by residents, the safety of the community would increase.  Residents who presently own guns and keep ammunition in their homes would have a convenient, safe choice for storage at the armory.  Parents who are reluctant to have guns in their homes because of the risk of death and injury would have a safe choice for storage of firearms out of their homes and away from their children.

Should a local armory be privately-owed or a public facility? Should it be located within the munipal boundaries or nearby.  Should an armory be near the police station?

Wherever its location, the armory should not have signs identifying its purpose.

If appropriate storage charges are posted, the armory can be self-supporting..

Anyone interested in being appointed the Bexley Municipal Armorer?
