City might lose ‘death tax’ revenues By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Bexley city officials have often discussed the worst-case scenario that would occur if the state legislature voted to repeal the estate tax. Over the past 10 years, estate tax revenues have accounted for approximately 17 percent of the city’s annual operating revenues. That number has varied from a high of $4.3-million (33.6 percent of operating revenues) in 2009 to a low of $482,046 (5.4 percent) in 2007. That worst-case scenario may become reality in the not-too-distant future. Assistant House majority whip Cheryl Grossman (R-Grove City) and state Rep. Jay Hottinger (R-Newark) jointly introduced legislation Jan. 12 to eliminate the

Ohio estate tax, also known as the “death tax.” House Bill 3 would allow small business owners, farmers and homeowners to pass on their assets to their heirs without being taxed twice on their life’s savings. Grossman and Hottinger contend the legislation would make Ohio more competitive for entrepreneurial growth and investment.
Ben Kessler
“House Bill 3 is just one of the many ways we will be working to aggressively improve the way the state of Ohio does business,” Grossman said. “When you hear of the 400,000 jobs that have left the state of Ohio, 90 percent of those have gone to other states — not overseas. We need to be more business-friendly, and I think that this legislation is a huge step in the right direction for the people of Ohio and for
the generations to follow.” Hottinger said the time has come to bury the death tax. “We are beginning the process of ending a fundamentally unfair and egregious tax, a tax that is often the case of double taxation,” he said. “This bill is about restoring fairness to Ohio’s hardworking citizens, our families, small business owners, as well as our state’s farmers. Ending this tax will have a tremendous effect on job creation in the state of Ohio.” Ohio currently has the lowest estate tax exemption in the United States. Only $338,333 of the taxable estate is exempt from the estate tax, compared to an average exemption amount of approximately $1.7-million for other states that have an See ESTATE TAX, page A3

New bakery to celebrate grand opening Jan. 26 By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers Business is going well for Cherbourg Bakery, a new gluten-free bakery in Bexley, located at 541 Drexel Ave. The bakery is owned by Bexley residents Geri Peacock, Shari George and Peacock’s brother Gary Schwindt, who splits his time between downtown Columbus and Los Angeles. The store opened to the public about a week after Christmas, George said, and business is going better than expected. “The walk-in traffic for January has been outstanding,” George said. “(People) are crazy about our location.”
Bexley Area Chamber of Commerce president Mary Greenman said the bakery’s location is ideal with foot traffic to local galleries and restaurants. “Drexel is a terrific street,” she said. “There is lots of on-street parking.” The ideal location made hiring five parttime employees pretty easy too, Peacock said. “Having Capital (University) right next door has been such a great resource,” she said. “Capital students have been wonderful. It’s within walking distance. (Students) have flexible schedules with school. That has been great for us.” Reaction to the new bakery has been positive, George said, adding Bexley res-
idents have been supportive and appreciative of the new business. “(Customers) have been very patient and understanding as we are working through the details,” she said. “There is just a lot of excitement. We are excited about the decision to choose Bexley … it was the right decision.” Greenman said Bexley was a good choice for the new bakery. This is the community’s first gluten-free bakery. “It is something that I think people will enjoy having here and use, whether they have a planned event or pick up something on the spur of the moment,” she said.

Land Use Strategy Commission to push for creation of CIC By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Bexley Land Use Strategy Commission will recommend the creation of a Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) when it presents its findings to Bexley City Council at 7 p.m. Jan. 25. The goal of the CIC would be to promote economic development, rejuvenate economically stressed areas in Bexley and serve as the economic develop-
ment agency for the city of Bexley. During a Jan. 17 meeting, commission member Daniel Ferdelman asked if the creation of the CIC would be a tremendous benefit to the economic development director. Economic development director Bruce Langner said the CIC would make it easier to dispose of property like the city hall site because the city would not have to go out to bid. “That was one of the more popular recommendations at the commission re-
treat,” city councilman and commission chair Ben Kessler said. The commission will also recommend consolidating some of council’s committees and adding a strategic planning committee whose goal would be to follow up on some of the ideas in the strategy. “This is the third revision of the draft,” Kessler said. “There have been some changes since the last meeting.” Kessler said a table was added to the draft that includes previous planning ef-
forts like the East Main Street Redevelopment Concept (2008), the Southwest Bexley Master Plan (2002) and the Main Street Design Guidelines (2002). Kessler said the land-use commission is asking council to adopt a blueprint for the city. He said he believes council will adopt the strategy, but whether they actually build anything is out of the commission’s control. However, he said it would be difficult to get more specific than asking council to adopt the strategy and that it will

be difficult to hold council’s feet to the fire on the goals. One reason to restructure council committees is to stay on top of the issues, he said, adding as a council member he will serve as an advocate for the plan. Kessler said he has only heard positive feedback to date and he doesn’t have a sense the strategy will be a problem for council. tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Bresler promoted to senior research leader at Battelle By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A closer look
Bexley resident Herb Bresler was recently promoted to senior research leader at Battelle. Bresler joined Battelle 12 years ago and served as the chief scientist for the company’s health and life sciences global business for the past seven years. “It is the highest technical position at Battelle,” said Jim Sonnett, vice president of Science and Technology, Health and Life Sciences Global Business. Sonnett said 11 scientists and engineers hold the Senior Research Leader title at Battelle. The company employs 4,000. “I have an ability to communicate between disciplines,” Bresler said, adding he can effectively communicate with biologists, engineers, scientists or business people. “That translation is not only something I am good at but fun.” Bresler said he appreciates working in an

environment where the ability to effectively communicate adds value to a project.” Battelle is organized into four major businesses, Sonnett said, one of which is health and life sciences. Bresler’s projects have included a medical device that could improve patient compliance with diseases like diabetes and advanced diagnostics that allow the medical community to detect a single cancer cell circulating in the blood, Sonnett said. Bresler said he applied for a job at Battelle after graduate school. His wife is from central Ohio and both were looking for jobs

in the area. Those did not pan out and they ended up in Washington. Eventually, Bresler was able to get a job with Neoprobe in Dublin, working on sponsored research programs for Ohio State University at the James Cancer Hospital in the School of Medicine. Neoprobe failed to get Federal Drug Administration approval for the diagnostics and Bresler learned of an opportunity to work for Battelle. Bresler was excited about his promotion and calls it the highest honor you can receive at Battelle, with only four senior research leaders in health and life sciences. Bresler has lived in Bexley for 15 years. “Whenever we looked somewhere else and compared back to Bexley, we found it was the best place for us,” he said. Bresler is president of the Columbus East Soccer Association, a soccer referee and board member of BalletMet Columbus.
at Cherbourg Bakery, George said. “The challenge has been training our employees and getting up to full retail inventory of our baked goods,” she said. The chamber is sponsoring a ribbon cutting to officially open Cherbourg Bakery on Jan. 26 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. There will be a variety of baked goods on hand to sample. Greenman said Peacock was a great addition to the community. “She has been a terrific participant in past Bexley events,” Greenman said. “We are really (glad) to welcome her to our community.”
“We need to make sure that pieces leading up to that are in place,” McCreary said. “One thing we are trying to emphasize is the continued need for staffing support and having interventions in place for kids who are not achieving the level they need.” McCreary said for the 2011-12 school year interventions will be put in place for students taking geometry who need extra support. There will also be more dialogue about math from kindergarten through 12th grade, she said. Elementary school teachers need to be sure they are teaching fundamental skills that translate into high school, that allow students to be successful at Algebra 1. “It’s not like we are starting
from scratch,” McCreary said. “What we have in place is good. It’s just a matter of continuing to talk about it and trying to make it better.” It will be important to offer the Algebra Review because the district has students move in as freshman who might not have had had Algebra 1, she said. “One of the most critical pieces for me is making sure we continue to work on common assessments in eighth and ninth grade to compare where kids are at the end of the year, who needs to be placed where,” she said. Educators will strive to make sure students are placed in the right math classes and that ninth-graders are successful at geometry. High school students would take Algebra 2 as sophomores, Algebra 3 and trigonometry as juniors and

calculus or statistics as seniors. School board member Diane Peterson said she was concerned about the 85 percent requirement, calling it “lofty.” “To me there are students who don’t feel they are ready,” Peterson said. “I feel that is very important. I really can’t get this off my mind. I’m very passionate about this.” Peterson said it is important to make sure the confidence that students have in math is not swept under the carpet. In math students build upon skills they learned in previous years. School board president Joan Fishel said district educators should be applauded for staying on top of the math requirements. She said although her daughter is not a “math person,” what her daughter learned in high school was far
beyond what Fishel learned. “We need to prepare our students for that type of world,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if they are drawn to math. They can learn just as much as they can learn anything else.” Fishel said the school district wouldn’t say a student who struggles in English doesn’t have to write a research paper. Director of secondary schools Harley Williams said he believes that all students can learn and it is important to find out the skills students need to be successful. “I assure you we will never put a kid in a place where they are not going to be successful,” he said. “I believe all kids can be successful if we do what we need to do.”

Estate tax may be repealed by legislature Continued from page A1 estate tax. House Bill 3 has been assigned to the House Ways and Means Committee, where it will undergo further consideration. “The city of Bexley has been sitting on pins and needles for years anticipating this effort as estate tax repeal has been a favorite target of certain legislators every time the legislature convenes,” said Jeff McClelland, Bexley City Council president. “I’m sure Rep. Grossman has hard evidence that the estate tax is a major reason for 400,000 jobs leaving the state of Ohio and that such repeal will no doubt contribute somehow to closing an $8billiion budget gap,” he said, “but one fact is certain and indisputable: Ohio estate tax receipts are essential to the ability of Bexley city government to deliver services that our citizens expect and deserve. While the income stream from the estate tax is often erratic and unpredictable, making annual budgeting a challenge, there have been years when unexpectedly high receipts have bailed the city out of serious budget situations. “Unfortunately, by state law our revenue sources are limited and as a result, we do necessarily rely on the estate tax as a major revenue source,” McClelland said. “Doing so does afford some property tax and income tax relief to our citizens.” McClelland said Bexley City Council and the administration will be meeting to discuss efforts to educate state legislators on the critical need of certain cities for an estate tax. “Tax ‘relief’ that merely shifts a taxing burden from the state to the city is nothing more than political shadow boxing,” he said. “Irrespective of your feelings regarding the existence of an estate tax for Ohio, the elimination of the Ohio estate tax would be devastating to the city of Bexley’s finances,” said Ben Kessler, who chairs city council’s finance and judiciary committee. “Income to the city from the Ohio estate tax has averaged approximately $1.8-million per year over the past 10 years,” Kessler said. “That is roughly equivalent to 20 percent of our general fund income over the same period. A loss of income this significant would impact every level of city services in a tangible way.” Kessler said the news comes at a particularly difficult time for
“

JEFF MCCLELLAND — Belxey City Council president
Bexley. “This proposal couldn’t come at a worse time,” he said. “The city is already operating under stressed financial conditions as a result of hard economic times, and we’re already facing the very real possibility of losing revenue from the Ohio local government fund during the 2011 state budget process.” According to statistics provided by finance director Beecher Hale, local government funds from the state have accounted for an average of nearly $1-million per year (or 9 percent of operating revenues) over the past 10 years. Kessler said Bexley is challenged by the makeup of its business community. “Like many other first-ring suburbs throughout Ohio, Bexley has a lower ratio of the payroll-intense commercial uses that provide many Ohio communities with the bulk of their funding for city services,” he said. “Because of this, we already operate on a shoestring budget. “The elimination of the estate tax would dramatically impact the city’s ability to provide city services,” Kessler said, “and it would require a series of austere measures in order to make up for the loss.” Kessler said city officials reacted immediately to the news. “Even though this news just broke today, Mayor (John) Brennan and members of council are already working hard to make sure Ohio lawmakers understand Bexley’s reliance on this revenue source,” he said. “We have contacted other communities that are in a similar position to us to discuss formalized engagement with the statehouse, and we have been in contact with our statehouse and senate representatives. “The finance committee discussed this issue at length tonight,” Kessler said, “and we will discuss it further once we have had a chance to thoroughly review House Bill 3 and once we have a better feel for our options.” City council member Jed Mori-

son said any loss of revenue will have to be made up through other sources. “Regardless of one’s views on this, it is important for people to know that if Bexley loses this revenue source, it will be a significant loss that will have to be made up some other way for us to maintain basic city services,” Morison said. “Most don’t realize that the current law only affects less than 10 percent of the general public,” he said. “Perhaps, instead of a complete repeal, certain exemptions should be considered, such as the estates of family farmers who would otherwise face hardships.” Richard Sharp, also a member of city council, said the legislation offers no solutions for local governments. “Many of the bill’s sponsors would probably agree with the analogy ‘It is better to teach a hungry person to fish than to give him a fish,’ he said. “In this case the state is breaking the fishing pole and draining the pond. That might not be bad if the pond was rancid and drying up anyway and the person was given a net and food to make the 3 day trip to a larger lake. Unfortunately HB3 breaks the pole, drains the pond and then walks away.” Sharp said a reasonable legislator would give Ohio local entities a supply of food for the journey. “An example in this case would be for the State to make supplemental payments to those local entities based upon the prior 5 year average estate tax receipts,” he said. “The first year (2011) 100 percent of the average and then have that amount phased out 25 percent per year for the following four years (2012-2015). “If the sponsors truly feel that there will be an economic benefit to the state by the change, they should be willing to share via supplemental payments, at least during such a 5-year phase out.” He also supports simplifying Ohio’s municipal income tax systems. “The state already set prece-
dence for this since that is the taxable basis for school districts that impose an income tax,” Sharp said. “This allows the municipal taxable income of Ohio residents to be calculated in the same way throughout the state, and at the same time would greatly increase the taxable income base. “Communities such as Bexley, which have a large number of residents who earn currently untaxed interest, dividends, and capital gains are also the same communities that previously had large estate tax revenues.” Sharp said it is also important for local governments to become more self-sufficient. “At the same time, I think it is the responsibility of local entities to stop crying that Mommy and Daddy took our pacifier, and begin the process of growing up and ask Mom and Dad to take us to the store to get our kindergarten supplies so that Ohio local entities can move on to a new and exciting stage of life, so that someday Ohio can be valedictorians ahead of those pesky kids: California, Florida, Texas, China and South Korea.” jdonahue@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWScom

Decorators’ Show House
To Win Sneak Peek will offer a ‘before’ look Enter Tickets to: By GARY BUDZAK
grounds that tend to be landscaped
ThisWeek Community Newspapers and where the interiors lend them-
The Decorators’ Show House isn’t new to Upper Arlington, but this year’s plan for a “Sneak Peek” of the home is brand-new. The Sneak Peek, a fundraiser for the Columbus Museum of Art, will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Jan. 28-30, at a Spanish revival style home at 4125 Oxford Drive, just east of Riverside Drive. Admission is $5. Visitors attending the Sneak Peek will get a chance to see the home’s 18 interior and four exterior spaces before it is transformed by local designers for the 2011 Decorators’ Show House, held April 30-May 22. “The Sneak Peek is a new venture for us,” said DSH co-chair Robin Comfort. “Indianapolis and other show houses around the country do a similar thing. We thought it’s really a nice idea because everyone likes to see the room before the designers get hold of it.” This year’s home was built in 1928 and sits on almost two acres. Among the people who have lived in the home were a cartoonist and a Kentucky Fried Chicken vice president, and its visitors included Dave Thomas and James A. Rhodes. “The (chairs) look for a house that has history and is architecturally interesting,” said Pat Hayden, president of the CMA’s Women’s Board. “If you’re dealing with a newer house, you might not get the architectural detail, but you get the room size. They look for a place that people will enjoy coming to, that there will be a story to tell, where there will be
selves to the designers coming in and doing what they do best.” Preparations for the DSH began last spring, Hayden said. Comfort was driving around and saw the home, which was for sale. She contacted the realtor, and since the updates made by the decorators tend to add value to the home, the present owners were thrilled to be part of the Show House, Comfort said. A lottery for designers was held, with each designer choosing a room to redo. They’ll show design boards of their plans for the space to the owners. The home at 4125 Oxford Drive in Upper Arlington will be the “It’s like a blank slate or an site of this year’s Decorators’ Show House. empty creative palette that they’re working with,” Comfort said. In return for donating their time, talent and materials, the designers get potential new clients after visitors see their room transformations. “This is just an amazing thing, because people come and they want to know what they can do for their home,” Comfort. “Their creativity triggers something in a lot of people, and they can take it home and replicate it.” Hayden said the museum started doing the biennial Decorator’s Show Houses in 1975. The 18 prior DSH events have raised more than $3-million for the museum. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com

CSG Roundup
Coach plans to switch defenses By CORY STEGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
years later, that backup plan has paid off in ways the junior couldn’t have anticipated. Jones has compiled a 24-2 record this season and was ranked third at 130 pounds in the Division II area coaches poll last week.
Columbus School for Girls basketball coach Stephanie Jones plans to make a few changes to her team’s defensive approach. In an effort to make the Unicorns better defensively, Jones is planning to alter her schemes more often within a game, hoping that different looks force opponents into making bad passes and bad shots and turning the ball over more frequently. “We’re going to change up our defenses more,” Jones said. “Right now, our man-to-man defense needs to improve, so this should help us a bit.” CSG struggled defensively in a 75-61 loss to Fairfield Union on Jan. 10. Fairfield Union hit 11 3-pointers and, though five players scored for the Unicorns, Imani Caldwell and Enri Small combined to score 52 of their points. Thus, not only are the Unicorns looking to improve defensively, they would like to have more balanced scoring. A familiar face who recently returned to the team should help offensively. Jacqueline Carroll, a junior post player, made her season debut in a 41-40 loss to Ready on Jan. 8, scoring four points. She is back at CSG after having spent the previous six months with her family in North Carolina. Her family moved back to Columbus shortly before her season debut. With the ability to score inside, Carroll gives the Unicorns a new option that can help alleviate some of the pressure off Caldwell and Small, though Jones said Carroll is being phased in slowly. “We’re still trying to get her comfortable with things, but having (Carroll) is only going to help us,” Jones said.

Work paying off for Humphrey By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
For three years, senior Hayden Humphrey of the Bexley High School boys swimming and diving team pressed coach Natalie Mossman to start an offseason weight program. Mossman finally listened and, as a result, Humphrey has benefited. In the area honor roll last week, he was ranked ninth in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1 minute, 6.89 seconds, which he set Jan. 7 in a dual meet against Grandview. Humphrey topped that time last Saturday, finishing first in the 100 breast in 1:05.9 in the Bexley Invitational at St. Charles. “This season has been a culmination of everything I’ve done,” Humphrey said. “We started an offseason lifting program and I’ve been training ever since the district meet last year.” “Hayden has worked harder than anyone I’ve ever worked with,” Mossman said. “Once he sets his mind to something, that’s what he is going to do. He puts in the time and works as hard as he can. You have to admire that.” Mossman said Humphrey has undergone a complete metamorphosis over the past three years. He came in as a quiet,
shy, scrawny freshman, who put out times in the 1:13-1:15 range in the 100 breast and became a team captain last season. “It’s been fun to watch him grow up,” Mossman said. “That’s one of the great things about coaching sports in general. You get to see them come in as kids to becoming who are they’re going to be as adults by the time the graduate.” Last season, it took a time of 1:02.85 or faster in the 100 breast to advance from the Division II district meet to the state meet. Humphrey was seeded 10th in the 100 breast at district last season and swam a 1:07.07, dropping .69 of a second off his sectional time only to slide to 17th. Only the top three swimmers automatically advanced to state. “It means the world for me to make it,” Humphrey said of his goal to qualify for state. “That has kind of been my drive this year. I want to go out with a bang.” Humphrey had the only first-place finish for the boys team in the Bexley Invitational. The Lions were third with 236 points, behind champion St. Charles (404) and Wellington (256) and ahead of Eastmoor Academy (99) and Reynoldsburg (85). The girls team placed second with 319 points, behind Wellington (454) and ahead of Eastmoor (205) and Reynoldsburg

Hartley Roundup
Boys bowlers display scoring balance By CORY STEGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Chris Parker/ThisWeek
Hartley’s Madison Geyer dribbles past Wellington’s Nia Kaudo on Jan. 12. The Hawks won 60-16. They are 9-4 overall and 3-1 in the CCL. They will play host to Ready on Saturday.
The Hartley High School boys bowling team has established itself as one of the best in the area. It’s truly been a team effort. None of the starters is averaging 200 pins or higher, yet the Hawks continue to lead the COHSBC-Central Division. “The thing is, for a while the guys have all been close in average,” coach Dennis Backus said. “So yeah, we feel good about where we’re at right now.” The lineup typically includes William Ball, Chad Clites, Nick Owens and Cody Peruzzi, with Jaren Lewis and Corey Wilbur rotating at the fifth spot. With a considerable amount of experience between the six, the Hawks haven’t found much of a challenge yet this season. Their worst performance thus far came last Saturday in
the Central District Preview Classic at HP Lanes, where the Hawks failed to reach the finals. It showed Backus that the Hawks still have room to grow. “I just want them to focus on making their adjustments,” he said. “I’ve noticed recently they haven’t been adjusting quickly enough to the condition of the lanes, and that’s caused us to miss some easy spares.” But Backus remains optimistic. “I’m still pretty confident that we can make it to state as long as everybody continues to bowl like they are capable of,” he said. “As long as they continue to bowl well as a team, then we’ll be good.” •The girls bowling team has made progress under first-year coach Margaret Owens. Though the Hawks don’t necessarily have the same goals as the boys team, they’ve already accomplished something that they’ve never done before — beat Ready.
Rachael Ahler, Emily Albert, Katie Owens, Emily Strapp and Leah Welsh combined for 1,766 pins on Jan. 10, topping Ready’s 1,657. “After the first game one of their girls had a 208, but we were surprised we weren’t down more than we were,” Owens said. “After the second game we were up 38, so I think the girls just got more confident as we went along.” One of the main things that Owens wants this season is for her bowlers to gain confidence. “The girls are really starting to bowl better, and part it is confidence, but they also have a better understanding of the game,” Owens said. Owens would like to make the girls team as successful as the boys team at Hartley, but she knows it will take time. See HAWKS, page B2

LIONS Continued from page B1 “I didn’t want to sit around all winter not doing anything, so I decided to try wrestling,” Jones said. “I used to wrestle around with my cousins for fun, so I decided to give it a try and just kept with it.” Jones had a 12-match winning streak come to an end last Saturday when he lost to Westerville North’s Ryan Ouzts 164 in the final of the Licking Heights Invitational. Also finishing as runner-up was junior Derek Cain at 152 after losing to Watkins Memorial’s Jay Cameron 7-3 in the final. The Lions finished seventh of 15 teams with 105.5 points, behind champion Westerville North (210.5). “(Senior) Dan Doersam had gone to a national tournament with him and told me he was really good,” Jones said of Ouzts.

ended a six-game losing streak with a 62-40 win over Shekinah Christian last Friday behind 25 points from Caldwell and 20 from Small. Leading 28-20 at halftime, the Unicorns scored 24 points in the third quarter, as their fullcourt trap produced three turnovers and held Shekinah Christian to five points to extend their lead to 52-25 heading into the fourth quarter. “We hustled on defense and we had good transitions,” Caldwell said. “This is going to help our confidence a lot. We needed this win.” Jones hopes to see more of what the Unicorns did during the third quarter against Shekinah Christian in the latter part of the regular season. “We’ve been working hard on improving as a team,” she said. “We’ve already played a lot of tough opponents this season, so I think that has only helped prepare us for the second half of our season.” •The swimming and diving team continues to drop times and produce good results.

haney offered that one of the best things about their current co-headlining tour with Circa Survive is keeping the sets to a controlled length in order to save the singers’ voices. When it’s suggested he would need no such favor, he deadpanned, “Right. My fingers never get tired.” A good thing, given the amount of time the modern rock quintet spends on the road. McAlhaney said the band won’t rehearse together for this upcoming tour because of the length of the previous one and the shortness of the break between. “We just played these songs a bajillion times in a row, so we’ll likely just have an e-mail exchange about a set list and that’s it,” he said. McAlhaney said he’ll fly in to Richmond (Virginia, the next tour stop) and meet the rest of the band a day before the show.
Anberlin, with co-headliner Circa Survive and opener Foxy Shazam, will play the Newport Music Hall Saturday, Jan. 22. Tickets are $18.50/$21. Call 1800-745-3000.
The heavy touring schedule is dictated in part because the band has a new record out — Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place hit late in 2010 and debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 Albums.
“The last record (New Surrender), we felt like it was rushed,” McAlhaney explained. “We signed with Universal Republic just after Cities came out, and they wanted new material. We were tour-
years, Punch Brothers combines traditional acoustic instruments (mandolin, guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass), players with mad skills and repertoire from extended, composed pieces to covers of
ing and writing — it ended up being OK. “But we decided for Dark to really take our time,” he said. “It was very planned-out. We had a clear idea of what we were trying to get at.” Which was a record more moody and challenging while retaining the band’s anthemic approach. Another way Dark finds the band stretching itself is in arrangements. McAlhaney said one of his favorite songs on the record is Pray Tell, which is very percussion-heavy. “At one point in the recording process, there were seven people playing drums in the studio,” he said. “It was very cool mixing all that percussion.” The title of the album is taken from a Dylan Thomas poem, and McAlhaney said he was sold right away. “We are just poachers (of the line), but to me, it’s a dark but hopeful phrase,” he explained. “This record has more of

a darker feel, but no matter how tough life is, there’s a light at the end.” McAlhaney said signing with a major label wasn’t necessarily planned, but it fit with the group’s goals. “There’s a saying that if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans,” McAlhaney said. “But obviously, in everything you do, you have goals and a plan to achieve them. We have a group agreement on what we’ll do and what we won’t do. As long as there’s growth and momentum — we just don’t want to spin our wheels. “The bigger the band gets, the better,” McAlhaney said with a laugh. “I love the idea of art for art’s sake, but art doesn’t pay the rent.” For more from The Beat’s interview with Anberlin guitarist Christian McAlhaney, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.
Cumin Indian Restaurant a fine replacement for Bayleaf When I heard Bayleaf was going out of business, I grimaced. The Polaris-area restaurant was one of my favorite places for Indian food. But when I heard the Cuisine of India people were taking over, I cheered up. You see, like Bayleaf, Cuisine of India is modern and authentic, serving both beloved classics and lots of contemporary-style dishes popular in cosmopolitan Indian cities. So when I waltzed into Cumin Indian Restaurant my expectations were pretty high. After a few visits, I realized this newbie was destined to shoot to the top of my Indian food list. Other than closing off the formerly open kitchen, Cumin’s owners haven’t performed any drastic cosmetic makeovers. It’s still a big, modern, open and airy room with few, if pleasant, decorations (chiefly multi-hued, saucer-shaped chandeliers) to distract visitors from

by G.A. Benton the task at hand — masticating on fabulously flavored chow. While buffets aren’t usually my thing, Cumin’s is, especially on weekends. That’s when the chaat station gets cranking, and I’m an inveterate fan of chaat. If you’ve never had them, chaats are Indian street-sold snacks that are meat-free riots of bold condiments, wild flavors and manifold textures. Fortunately, this generalization held true on a recent — and blissfully lengthy — lunchtime stopover at Cumin’s great buffet. In front of a longish line and manning a mammoth round pan, the buffet’s chaat guy began with a crispy puck of a potato pancake. To that he added a scoop of soupy,

highly seasoned chickpeas. Then came the garnishing : tart yogurt; chutneys of coriander (spicy) and tamarind (sweet); diced raw onion, tomato and cilantro; plus a finishing dusting of exotic, eggy-tasting chaat masala. It’s a crazy mess to eat, but I find its push-me/pullme flavors and textures to be an incomparable delight.
Post-chaat, there’s a dizzying array of buffet choices — the thing goes on forever. I counted six meat entrees (two in kabob form); five veggie entrees; two soups; two rice dishes; a large salad/condiment bar and four desserts. I liked everything I tried, but was especially fond of the Baigan Bharta (wonderful eggplant stew),
Aloo Cabbage (addictive mixed vegetable curry), and spicy, sweet and sour chicken dumplings. As for non-buffet appetizers, the huge, dense and firm chilimarinated homemade cheese kabobs (Paneer Shaslik, $9) had a great grilled flavor but their accompanying veggies (onion, garlic, peppers) were disarmingly uncooked. For an explosive curry, go for the Cumin Melthi Harydi ($12). Featuring a complex, aromatic, rich, carrot-colored gravy with a sneaky heat, the head-spinning dish was cleverly equipped with refreshing, mouth-cleansing sticks of ginger. Awesome. On the tamer side, but still terrific, was Cumin’s sizzling grill
($15, easily feeds two). Like a giant platter of mixed Indian fajitas, it’s a great way to sample several items on Cumin’s large menu. The “grill” was a round-up of about five kinds of smokily seared, delicious kabobs, my favorites of which were Haryali Tikka (juicy, boneless chicken chunks in a zesty pesto) and Lajwab Seek kabob (huge logs of ground lamb with minced green pepper, onion and cilantro). The mammoth dinner came with fluffy basmati rice and excellent dal. While none of Cumin’s desserts disappointed, the Gajar Halwa ($4 — milky, cardamomy, nutty and fruity shredded carrots) — was especially fun to munch. To read G.A. Benton’s blog, visit ColumbusDiningGuide.com
Greek diner near UA takes simple approach to food, ambience Yiagos and Stratis Kostoglou had simplicity in mind when opening Greek to Me. The menu, for the time being, is a small and manageable collection of breakfast and lunch fare served in a humble dining room with blue and white gingham tablecloths and some Greek accents. “We want to make sure we serve good Greek food. We don’t want to make things complicated,” said Stratis, who opened the store with his father at 4697 Reed Road in Northwest Columbus. The breakfast items consist of the familiar – omelets, pancakes, French toast and typical sides, such as bacon, links and home fries. The lunch menu offers similarly approachable dishes, such as gyros,
subs, moussaka, pastitsio and souvlaki. They wanted prices to be inviting, too, as most entrees run between $6 and $8. It is the first restaurant for the pair. Yiagos worked as a steward on Greek cargo ships, helping coordinate three meals a day, not to mention private functions, for 30 hungry sailors. He eventually opened A Matter of Steak in Westland Mall, which he later sold. Meanwhile, his son was an assistant kitchen manager at Texas Roadhouse. Greek to Me takes over 1,300 square feet of space that was most recently occupied by Pizzano’s. It seats 50.
