Mayor to veto Destination Hilliard funding By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Don Schonhardt intends to veto legislation for the first time in his seven years as mayor of Hilliard. Schonhardt is opposed to amending the city’s codified ordinances pertaining to the hotel/motel excise tax. At its Jan. 11 meeting, city council approved by a 5-2 vote changing the percentage of the

6-percent bed tax that would go to Destination Hilliard, a convention and visitor’s bureau, from 25-percent to 50-percent. The other 50-percent would be placed in the Don Schonhardt city’s general fund. Despite Schonhardt’s opposition, council president Brett Sciotto, Jim Ashen-

hurst, Albert Iosue, Kelly McGivern and Bill Uttley voted yes; council members Stephanie Kunze and Tim Roberts voted no. In a letter sent to Sciotto on Jan. 17, Schonhardt wrote that he is vetoing the legislation for six reasons: The ordinance, on its face, is bad public policy; The ordinance ignores the economic realities facing Hilliard and other mu-

nicipalities locally and across the nation; The ordinance is ill-timed because it precedes almost certain reductions in state funding; The ordinance unfairly relies exclusively on the city for funding Destination Hilliard; The ordinance is an unwarranted departure from the city’s core responsibility to provide for the health, safety and welfare of its citizens;

The ordinance exploits the administration’s successful efforts to hold the line on spending. Sciotto said he thought the last time a mayor had vetoed legislation was Tim Ward in 2000. “There have been several instances where the mayor has not signed legislation, which still becomes law nonetheSee SCHONHARDT, page A2

Hilliard Bradley High School freshman Arianna Denenzio, left, and senior Collen O’Shea help junior Alex Schell work on her expressions while playing Larry the Crash Test Dummy at the distracted-driving seminar at the Hilliard Bradley High School on Thursday, Jan. 13. The Hilliard Against Distracted Driving (HADD) campaign sponsored the free community safety fair. HADD is an initiative presented by students from all three Hilliard high schools.

Begun in 2009, the city of Hilliard’s comprehensive plan is continuing to be developed by a consulting firm and a task force. Mayor Don Schonhardt said he wanted the plan to be completed by the end of last year. “However,” he said, “I’m operating city staff with what I consider to be a skeleton crew, and when all of my people are busy on one of the most important capital improvement projects we’ve undertaken in years (the Triangle Project), their reviews and their input is a little bit harder to obtain.” Schonhardt is hoping to have the plan approved by the planning and zoning commission and city council by mid-year. Many cities have a land-use plan that is updated on a periodic basis, Schonhardt said, and Hilliard’s “master plan,” as it was called when created in 2003, needs an update because of changes in the development patterns. “We are in turn taking that 2003 plan and we are See NEW GOAL FOR PLAN, page A2

SCHONHARDT TO USE VETO Continued from page A1 less,” Sciotto said. “In this case, we’ll have to have a procedural vote to override the veto, which simply takes a supermajority (5 of 7), which was the vote that passed in the first place.” Schonhardt wrote Sciotto, “I suspect you have a sufficient number of votes to override this veto. But I cannot be deterred from doing what I was elected to do as mayor. It is my job to put the interests of Hilliard taxpayers above my own self-interests.” Several council members and Destination Hilliard leadership expressed their disappointment with Schonhardt’s announcement. “The mayor’s implication that this legislation is permanent and irreversible is downright misleading,” Sciotto said. “If it doesn’t yield the desired results, the city can change it whenever and however we like. I firmly believe Destination Hilliard will be an economic multiplier for our community. This is an opportunity to invest in an entity from which we can confidently expect and measure a return.” “From an economic impact standpoint, this veto appears inconsistent with smart economic growth strategies,” McGivern said. “Many studies point to the net positive impact that travel and tourism has on the local economy. It appears erratic to veto a project that is supported by numerous community groups throughout Hilliard and is bringing much needed col-

laboration and cooperation for the good of our city.” “This veto move by Mayor Schonhardt is extraordinary and poorly explained,” Uttley said. “When all the facts are examined, this legislation should prove very beneficial for our community.… To make a ‘mountain out of a molehill’on this issue puzzles me. I am concerned that it marks a turning point in council/administration relations.” “Funding for Destination Hilliard comes directly from the visitors who come to Hilliard,” Destination Hilliard executive director Christy Clark said. “These funds should be spent towards promoting Hilliard to maintain and increase the number of visitors who visit our community. … I am accountable to a board of trustees and city council that can at any time pull the funding for Destination Hilliard if we are not achieving our goals.” Clark also noted that Worthington’s convention and visitors bureau receives 66 percent of that city’s 6 percent bed tax. “I am deeply dismayed and disappointed that Mayor Schonhardt plans to veto the funding ordinance already approved in a 5-2 decision by city council,” Destination Hilliard president Darrell Mayne said. “The mayor would do well to reconnect with the citizenry who have already witnessed the very positive effects of Destination Hilliard.” “We don’t understand the pushback from the mayor,” trustee

New goal for plan: approval by mid-year Continued from page A1 updating it, but kind of in a more holistic fashion,” Schonhardt said. “We are looking well beyond the land-use issues to make sure that as land uses are designated for specific areas, that the transportation (and) utilities to support those land uses are also put into place, and that we consider what we want the community to look like moving forward.” Last week, Schonhardt, the members of a city task force and consultants from Stantec Inc. met for 90 minutes to discuss the comprehensive plan. The plan listed six goals for Hilliard: 1. Become a better-connected community. 2. Grow into a truly sustainable city. 3. Promote active and healthy lifestyles. 4. Define and reinforce the character of Hilliard. 5. Optimize development potential in ways that benefit current and future citizens. 6. Collaborate with surrounding communities and local stakeholders. There was much discussion at the meeting over revamping the city’s current zoning codes. “It doesn’t really define for us what we anticipate development looking like in the future,” Schonhardt said. “We have absolutely nowhere in our code any references to what is conservation development, what standards have to be applied, what precautions have to be taken to protect environmentally sensitive areas. Also discussed was infill development (redeveloping currently underutilized spaces) and B-6 zoning (business districts). Schonhardt said he hoped to have completely revised zoning codes in place next year. He admitted the process could be lengthy. “It should be, because you want to make sure you do it right,” Schonhardt said. “We really need to be careful moving forward and make sure that the code and the provisions we’re putting in place are actually promoting the things that we want to see happen here in the community.”

Jimmy V’s founder Velio buys Otie’s Continued from page A1 Velio said he has met the restaurant’s retired namesake, Otie Blankenship, and hopes to put his picture on the wall. “I told him your name is on the building and I will live up to it,” Velio said. “He deserves all that credit.” In addition,Velio plans on keeping what he calls Otie’s “home run” menu items, such as the fried bologna sandwich. He’ll also introduce some Greek items to the menu, and offer daily specials, such as a hamburger on Wednesdays. Those items would be reasonably priced, Velio said. “My goal is to deliver good quality food. I choose to do a slow movement into changing the food. I don’t want to shut the place and have some customers get out of their routine.” On a recent midweek night, Velio emerged from the kitchen where he was working and thanked customers for coming in. “People who come to Otie’s are very friendly people, and if there’s something they don’t like they come to you and very po-

litely tell you how they like it, and that’s what I like about this place. It’s like a family.” While Otie’s has a past, Velio’s past includes turning restaurants around. “Have you heard of Jimmy V’s Grill & Pub? Those are my (four) restaurants,”Velio said. “The Red Door Tavern (in Grandview) is the same thing as Otie’s. Otie said it opened (in 1964). I have the reputation of a hard worker, a go-getter and the record shows that I have taken places that have gone down or shut down and go inside, do my changes, create good quality food, improve the service and turn around and make themselves good places.” Velio, who lives in Grandview, said he will put new equipment in Otie’s and support Hilliard high school sports. “I want to ensure my employees and customers that this is a destination. We’d probably have a quicker response and higher profit if I turned this into a Jimmy V’s. But here, I’m a little bit more for the history than I am for the profit. It’s not going to be long for people to understand how I really care for the place.”

Doug Lessells said. “Based on the bed tax for 2010, it amounts to about $65,000. It’s an investment in promoting our city. You can’t promote without spending. “We spent money on a beautiful tribute in First Responders Park that is a jewel, and we’re questioning spending the money to bring people in from the area, the state and region to see it. “This is the budget that enables Destination Hilliard to perform the very duty that city council and the mayor envisioned when they created it in the first place. It’s a head-scratcher to me.” Council next meets at 7 p.m. on Jan. 24.

If you do business at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles License Agency on Cemetery Road in Hilliard, you’re helping the Northwest Kiwanis club fund its programs in Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff. The Kiwanis License Agency offers driver’s license, plates, temporary tags, vehicle titles, out-of-state inspections, voter registration, state ID cards and notary service. “As best we can figure, we started as a deputy registrar in 1935 (the club was formed in 1928), and have pretty well continuously had an agency ever since at various locations over all those years,” said Bill Snellgrove, a 26-year veteran of the club and governor-elect of the Ohio district. The agency used to be run by Kiwanians and their spouses, Snellgrove said, but now it’s professionally staffed. “We have volunteers spend a lot of hours over there overseeing it,” said Jim Cowardin, secretary for Northwest Kiwanis. “We bring outside money into the community.” “We use the profits to fund our projects in the community,” said Snellgrove, a former two-time president of the club who chairs the license agency committee. Among those projects is a youth soccer program, which is the reason Snellgrove joined the service organization whose motto is “changing the world one child, and one community, at a time.” Around 1,300 kids from kindergarten through sixth grade currently participate in the Northwest Kiwanis Youth Soccer program. “I was coaching my kids, that’s what drew me in,” Snellgrove said. “Then I made a lot of friends and saw a lot of good things the club was doing, so we just continually got involved in more things.” Cowardin said he’s been a Ki-

wanian for more than 30 years, starting with the Key Club in high school. He remains a member because of the Kiwanis ideals and the camaraderie. “It’s really a fine organization. I wouldn’t be sticking around this long if it wasn’t,” he said. “I really liked to get involved in giving back,” Snellgrove said. “I think it’s important to do that for your community.” Upper Arlington City Council member Erik Yassenoff is a past president of the Northwest Kiwanis Club and has been a member for 12 years. “We focus largely on the parks,” Yassenoff said. “We’re really big into building shelter houses in Upper Arlington and Grandview. The recent barn project in Upper Arlington, we took a historic barn and essentially rebuilt it into a shelter house. I think we are the largest contributor to that project.” In a blog, UA Parks and Recreation Director Tim Moloney wrote, “The city of Upper Arlington has enjoyed a long and storied relationship with the

time. The residents walk to school and to church. They walk to the market and walk to their business and other interests. When the people of Columbus are not walking, they are riding in a conveyance pulled by horses. The streets are full of horses — pulling carriages, and wagons and simple buggies. And all of those horses leave in the city streets a lot of what horses leave behind. A whole crew of convicted criminals spends most of their days walking the streets and picking up the detritus of the horses. But the most dangerous part of Columbus was the part most people never saw. The average life expectancy of an adult male in Columbus in 1861 was considerably less than 50 years. Unlike our own time, the life expectancy of adult women was even less. The death rate among women was higher because of complications of childbirth. The death rate among both men and women was higher because of a number of ailments for which vaccines and other curative medicines had yet to be discovered. In spite of all of these dangers and disagreeable aspects, people continued to come to the city of Columbus. They came for the same reasons people have been coming to cities for the past several hundred years: The city was where opportunity was waiting. To really appreciate the wonder of a city like Columbus, all one had to do in 1860 was wander to the middle of town and gaze across Statehouse Square. Rising from the middle of the square was one of the great buildings in 19th-century America. More than 20 years earlier, in 1839, the small, frontier state of

Ohio had decided to build a new statehouse. It was thought the building would be done in two years and cost about $200,000. The Statehouse took 22 years to build and cost $2,200,000. But now it was finally done. Occupied in 1857 after the old Statehouse burned in 1852, the new Statehouse was finally completed in 1861. It was worth the wait. It is one of America’s truly great buildings and a reflection of the strong and dedicated people who built it. On Feb. 13, 1861, Abraham Lincoln, soon to be inaugurated as President of the United States, passed through Columbus. After speaking to the Ohio General Assembly, he moved to the steps of the state capitol and spoke to the people. He concluded his brief remarks by saying, “I am doubly thankful that you have appeared here to give me this greeting. It is not much for me, as I shall soon pass away from you, but we have a large country and a large future before us, and the manifestations of goodwill towards the government, and affection for the Union which you may exhibit are of immense value to you and your posterity forever. (applause) In this point of view, it is that I thank you most heartily for the exhibition you have given me and with that allow me to bid you an affectionate farewell.” (deafening applause and cheers) In less than two months the “affection for the Union” of Columbus, Ohio, and the rest of the nation would be tested as never before with the beginning of the American Civil War. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Columbus in the early days of 1861 was a town with a very good feeling about itself. Over the past few decades, Ohio’s capital city had grown from an almost invisible village of fewer than 2,000 inhabitants into a thriving city of more than 18,000 people. Other cities in Ohio were doing considerably better, to be sure. Cincinnati was the largest city in the state and indeed in the region. It was “the Queen ED City of the LENTZ West.” And Cleveland to the north was growing rapidly as well. It was not as large as most other Ohio cities, but it soon would be. But Columbus in 1861 was doing quite well and showed every sign of even greater progress in the next few years to come. It was not hard to see why. In the early 1830s, Columbus was a village of fewer than 3,000 people. Since it was created by the Ohio General Assembly in 1812, the town had grown slowly but surely. Then, in the early 1830s, the Ohio Canal and the National Road arrived in Columbus. In less than two years, Columbus moved from being a village of 3,000 to a city of 5,000. And the growth of the city was far from over. In the 1840s and 1850s, Columbus became a major center of transportation and trade. And most of the growth of those years had little to do with canals or the national road. It was the coming of the railroad that made all the difference. In 1850, the Columbus and Xenia Railroad chugged into Columbus and established itself at the northern boundary of the city, where the convention center is today. In case one might wonder why a railroad was built to Xenia — a nice place, but rather small — the answer lay with people who had little to do with the town. Xenia was a terminal point for the Little Miami Railroad. Board a train in Columbus and with a change, one would soon be in Cincinnati — where perhaps one wanted to be in the first place. What was it like to live in Columbus in 1861? In a few words, it was smelly, noxious and a little on the dangerous side. If we could take you back right now to the Columbus of 1861 and put you down at Broad and High streets, you would immediately notice several things. First, you would probably notice that your eyes were watering. The reason for this was not hard to find. Columbus in 1861 is a city that runs on coal. Burning coal heats one’s house, powers one’s business and is commonly used for many other purposes. Over the city hangs a pall of black smoke. The ash from that smoke clings to clothing and hair and seeps into the lungs. It will stain the brick of German Village houses and cling to the gravestones in the Old North Graveyard, where the North Market is today. Second, you would probably notice the smell of the city. Columbus in 1861 is a city where most people walk most of the

sergeant and radio chief with 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) in Camp Lejeune, N.C. He also served as a radio chief with Bravo Battery, 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, in Camp Lejeune. From 2004-05, Weatherman deployed with the 22nd MEU to the Central Command area of operation in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Parents interested in finding a preschool or daycare center for their child can learn more about options at a free preschool fair, set for 9-11 a.m. Jan. 22 at the recreation and parks community center. This is the second year for the preschool fair, said recreation supervisor Beth Simon, and last year’s event was a big success. “It was just an idea that we had last year to try to bring together all the area preschools and daycares,” Simon said. “It’s an important choice too, because this is the first school you’re choosing for your child. We wanted to be a resource for those parents to find out about the schools in one easy location.” Among the 17 facilities with a table at the fair will be the Hilliard Rec Preschool, which is offered through the recreation and parks department. “Ours is just a 2 1/2 hour program, and 4- and 5-year-olds go three days a

Continued from page A1 president Brett Sciotto said in regards to the BZA re-appointments. “It is all over the board, always has been. We’ve always had this assumption that we would keep appointing people. I think having a protocol would make the best sense. We’ll take that on as one of our goals.” Councilman Albert Iosue said council should “let the public know and see if anyone’s interested. We say we don’t know if anyone is interested, but who really knows that these appointments are up and new ones are available? I think we need to put some process together for boards or commissions when something

becomes available, we can let the public know and see if there’s any interest.” The BZA consists of seven members who serve five-year terms and rule on variances to the city’s zoning code. The ESC will consist of seven to nine volunteers who will review existing green policies. The EDC will consist of five to eleven members who will expand economic development in Hilliard. The committees forwarded on to council a resolution authorizing $15,650 in funding to the Hilliard Youth and Family Commission and an ordinance establishing the ESC. “This ordinance is in response to one of our goals, and it was

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 grounds that tend to be landscaped and where the interiors lend themselves 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. “It’s like a blank slate or an empty creative palette that they’re working with,” Comfort said. In return for donating their time, talent and materials, the design-

ers 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.

Downtown magic show to highlight the art of illusion By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A closer look

Ron Spangler remembers the trip to his first Magi-Fest well. He didn’t make it. In 1978, he was headed there with a friend but a terrible snowstorm forced his mom to turn the car around and go home. Three years later, he successfully attended what he says is one of the biggest and oldest magic conventions in the country, and he hasn’t missed once since. Spangler, an Upper Arlington resident, has been named director of the 79-year-old convention, to be held Jan. 27-29 at the Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel. The Columbus convention, established in January 1932, is expected to draw about 600 people from across the country. “Every magician convention has a different angle,” said Spangler, a mechanical engineer. “One of our particular angles is we want to be a family-friendly convention. We want to be known for that.” While the convention is generally for practitioners and devotees of magic, the general public is invited to attend the convention’s annual magic show at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29 at

While the Magi-Fest is generally for practitioners and devotees of magic, the general public is invited to attend the convention’s annual magic show at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29 at Veterans Memorial. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children. They are available online at www.magifest.com or will be on sale at the box office the night of the show.

Veterans Memorial. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children. They are available online at www.magifest.com or will be on sale at the box office the night of the show. The headliner is Greg Frewin, who has his own theater in Niagara Falls. Spangler described it as a Las Vegas-style magical review, complete with a juggler, dancers and assistants. Meanwhile, the convention involves magic shows, lectures, competitions and sales of merchandise. The origins of Magi-Fest can be traced to two Ohio magic dealers, Sylvester Reilly and

Robert Nelson. They co-founded Ring No. 7, a local chapter of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, in 1928. Spangler, 47, described the convention as a sort of family reunion, with a lot of veterans of the convention introducing their children to the craft. “With a lot of kids, it just sticks. It stays with them. It stayed with me,” he said, adding that he doesn’t get to perform as much as he did in the past. Magic has changed over the past few decades, especially with the arrival of the Internet, which has revealed many closely guarded secrets, Spangler said. “If people really want to find it they can find it,” he said. “So magicians are trying to reinvent themselves to keep it fresh.” Jim King Sr. of wholesale supplier MAK Magic on the West Side has been involved with the convention for about 50 years. He said he’s watched participation grow, as well as interest in magic in recent years. “There’s more activity with magic, partly because of the Internet,” he said. “People can get on there and see stuff they normally wouldn’t see.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Basketball

Kauffman finds comfort level with ’Cats girls By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hilliard Davidson High School senior Rebekah Kauffman was blessed with good health during the first six years of her basketball career, but her fortunes changed over the summer of 2007 when she was competing for the Columbus Lady Rage AAU basketball team. While running the court during games, Kauffman suddenly would feel as if she couldn’t breathe and eventually would begin to feel dizzy.

When she had a similar experience while shooting baskets in her driveway one evening, her father, Randy, drove her to an urgent care facility. After several medical tests revealed she didn’t have any physical problems, she eventually was diagnosed with having an anxiety disorder that was causing her to have panic attacks. During the panic attacks, Kauffman’s mind was filled with the irrational fear that she was going to stop breathing, collapse and die. “I was surprised to hear that I had this mental illness, but I was also re-

lieved to find a diagnosis of what was wrong with me,” Kauffman said. “When I have a panic attack, I lose my sense of reality and of what’s going on around me. I don’t have a clue if people are talking to me or at least I don’t remember talking to people when it’s over. Sometimes it gives me a case of OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and I’ll start pacing around and playing with the head band in my hair. For some reason, I have to do that to give myself a distraction and make myself feel better.” Kauffman began seeing a psychol-

ogist once a week and a physiatrist once every six weeks to combat her anxiety disorder. Over the next several months, she began taking antidepressant medication, working on breathing exercises and learning to talk herself through panic attacks. Kauffman recovered well enough to play basketball for Davidson’s junior varsity and freshman teams, but the first half of her freshman season was hampered by a strained right rotator cuff and her season ended when she suffered a broken right wrist.

Nevertheless, Kauffman trained hard during the offseason and became Davidson’s starting shooting guard the following season. As a sophomore, she made a program-record six 3-pointers in a 54-39 loss at Watterson. That season, she averaged 7.1 points and made 37 3pointers, one shy of the program record that Melissa Howe set in 2001. “My anxiety levels improved significantly and I was able to concentrate on basketball a lot more during See WILDCATS, page B2

The Hilliard Bradley High School boys basketball team has regained its confidence and is hoping to display that Friday when unbeaten New Albany pays a visit for an OCC-Capital Division contest. The Jaguars enter the contest on a two-game winning streak, including a record-setting performance last Friday at Watkins Memorial. They beat the Warriors 93-46, marking the most points in program history. Junior guard A.J. Dixon set a program record with six 3-pointers and the Jaguars finished with a program-record 12 3-pointers. Dixon was 6-for-8 from behind the 3-point line and the Jaguars were 12-for-18. “I just came out having fun and I am very confident in my shot,” said Dixon, who had set the program’s previous individual record with five 3-pointers in a 60-41 win over Big Walnut on Dec. 17 and matched it in a 63-58 loss to Olentangy Orange on Jan. 7. “It just really felt like summer practices when I had to make 100 of them before I could leave. “I worked a lot on my shot before open gyms, during open gyms and after open gyms, plus I usually go over to (Horizon Elementary) and get some shooting in as well.” Dixon finished with 20 points against Watkins Memorial, as Bradley improved to 4-7 overall. Derek Tieman and Trent Weaver both scored 13, Mo Hassan added 11 and Dakota Rohrer had 10. Evan Bell and Jacob Starinsky had eight points apiece. The Jaguars seem to enjoy playing Watkins Memorial, as their previous-best point total was set in an 86-48 win over the Warriors in the first round of league play last season. The Jaguars closed their inaugural regular season by beating the Warriors 82-49. “I think some of that 3-point shooting was set up by the fact

that Trent Weaver is averaging 17 points and 12 rebounds and (Watkins Memorial) put together a game plan to try to stop him,” said coach Michael Limbird, whose team will again close the regular season against Watkins Memorial, on Feb. 18. “On the other hand, A.J. is shooting (52.7 percent, 29-for55) from 3-point range, which is higher than any of his teammates are shooting from inside 3-point range. He’s been lights out. I was just shocked to see so many good looks outside. Dakota made three. Evan, Derek and Mo all made one.” The outside barrage came on the heels of a strong inside performance in a 63-49 win over Worthington Kilbourne on Jan. 11 when the Jaguars broke a fivegame losing streak. Weaver had 21 points and Starinsky scored 18. See JAGUARS, page B3

Darby boys getting closer, but lacking consistency By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hilliard Darby High School boys basketball coach Brett Norris believes his team is close to a breakthrough. The Panthers were 4-7 overall before playing a non-league game against Marysville last Tuesday, but they have been in position to win in the final minutes in six of their seven losses. “Sometimes a team can lose confidence when they lose close games at the end because it’s such a long season,” Norris said. “But I don’t think we’re that far away. I keep telling our kids that and also that we need to find ways to get better.” Despite a 52-45 loss to Hilliard Davidson last Friday, Darby has won two of its last three games. “We have played well enough to win 10 of our 11 games, only a loss to Brookhaven (59-41 on Dec. 12) was out of reach in the final minutes,”

Norris said. “Whether it’s a lack of holding our concentration as the game progresses or what, it’s something we need to figure out. We seem to fade in and out of our game-planning and what we work on in practice.” The Panthers averaged 43.4 points through 11 games, scoring more than 50 twice. They beat Worthington Kilbourne 53-41 in the season opener on Dec. 7 and defeated Lancaster 56-37 on Dec. 28. “We do seem to struggle offensively,” Norris said. “One thing is we haven’t had guys play consistently for us. We have a nine-man rotation, and except for Brennan Hook, it has been difficult to tell who will be playing well from night to night. They need to start stepping up individually and play consistently night in and night out.”

Davidson’s Gill becoming one of area’s best By PAUL BATTERSON

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

There’s that moment when all the noise in Vince Gill’s world disappears and the senior on the Hilliard Davidson High School boys swimming and diving team awaits the start of the 100-yard breaststroke. “It’s real peaceful,” Gill said. “I take the headphones off and that rap song that I was listening to goes away. Everything goes out of my head. I’m at complete peace ... for the moment. I just look at the starting block and I know it’s time to race.” It’s that silence that first drew Gill to the breaststroke. In his first year of high school swimming, he has emerged as one of the top swimmers in the event in the area. Last week, he was ranked first in central Ohio and 20th in the Division I state rankings in the event with a time of 1 minute, 1.44 seconds. Gill also was ranked fifth (2:02.57) in the 200 freestyle and seventh (54.68) in the 100 butterfly in the district. He was one of a handful of Hilliard swimmers to make the area honor roll last week. Also in Division I, Davidson sophomore Erin Brooks was ranked ninth (1:01.65) in the 100 backstroke in the girls rankings and Darby freshman Hunter Cook was ranked fifth (4:56.94) in the 500 free in the boys rankings. In Division II, Bradley junior Kaitlyn

Goldsmith was second (25.3) in the 50 free and sixth (56.23) in the 100 free in the girls rankings and Bradley freshman Jon Satre was eighth (1:00.36) in the 100 backstroke and 10th (5:18.73) in the 500 free in the boys rankings. “I think a lot of that is due to structure of our practices,” said coach Brian Dickmann, who oversees all three Hilliard programs. “Our swimmers are competing against each other every day

in workouts. As much as you try to build a family atmosphere, you’re still going to have those Davidson-Bradley-Darby rivalries, but that’s been beneficial to the teams.” Gill set his district-best time in the 100 breast while winning the event at the Delaware Invitational on Jan. 7. “The breaststroke is such a graceful stroke,” he said. “Events like the backstroke, the freestyle and the butterfly are roaring strokes. But with the breast-

stroke, you’re not slamming down your arms and legs in the water. “It’s a natural stroke for me. I’m not the strongest of guys. I mean, I can’t bench press three times my weight or anything like that. But the breaststroke is all about technique.” Gill said competing against some of the elite breaststrokers in the area in the Ned Reeb Invitational on Dec. 11 at Ohio State was an eye-opening ex- pbatterson@thisweeknews.com perience.

my sophomore year,” Kauffman said. “It was awesome to be a starter, and I had a lot of fun and had my best season of basketball. I had a great summer and was feeling so good that I was taken off my medication.” Kauffman averaged five points through the first three games of her junior season before hitting a shooting slump and suffering a severe panic attack during Davidson’s sixth game on Dec. 18, 2009, at Central Crossing. “When I was sitting on the bench, I felt dizzy and lightheaded and I could feel the anxiety coming back and couldn’t stop it,” she said. “In the locker room, my coach (Lisa Cady) could tell I was struggling to breathe and on the way to the bus I had a full-fledged panic attack and had to go home with my parents. My season went downhill after that. (On Feb. 1) I had another panic attack while I was laying in bed and it lasted three or four hours because I couldn’t stop it, and I missed school the rest of the week.” With her confidence shaken, Kauffman played sparingly and scored only 16 points over Davidson’s final 15 games. “What she’s going through is hard to understand because it’s not like a broken bone that you can put a cast on,” Randy Kauffman said. “At its height, it was scary because it’s not something that can be fixed with a pill or a logical discussion. These thoughts just take over and it snowballs. It looks like her mind is racing so fast that she can’t focus, and it creates physical reactions in her body where she can’t sit still or settle down.” In February 2010, Kauffman began taking a different antidepressant and continued to work on her breathing exercises with her psychologist. She had a few more panic attacks throughout last spring and one last summer, but by last fall, they had stopped altogether. Kauffman played in each of Davidson’s first 11 games this season and hasn’t experienced a panic attack. “Every day is still a challenge for me, es-

Davidson’s Rebekah Kauffman makes a pass Jan. 7 against Upper Arlington. Kauffman, a three-year starter, has overcome an anxiety disorder and has not had a panic attack this season.

“The fact that she’s out there playing hard every day shows a lot about her character, because the easy way out would have been to say, ‘This scares me and I’m done with it.’ But she has worked through her anxiety and fear, and she’s a big contributor and leader,” Taylor said. “She’s been all-out hustle for everything, and she’s often the first person to get to loose balls. Defensively, she moves her feet well and gets in the right position.” Kauffman has scored only eight points this season, including a 3-pointer in both a 47-43 loss to Thomas Worthington on Dec. 10 and a 51-42 victory over Hilliard Darby on Jan. 13. Taylor is optimistic that Kauffman will contribute more offensively during the second half of the season. “The 3-pointer is her go-to shot, and if she’s open, we want her to take it because it’s what she does best,” Taylor said. “She’s been a streaky shooter, and in practices, once she starts making shots, it’s gameover, so we’re just waiting for her to break out like that in one of our games.”

Revamped routine has Darby’s Mundew beaming By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After struggling with her balance beam routine throughout the season, junior Kari Mundew of the Hilliard Darby High School gymnastics team decided to revamp her routine the night before the McGee Invitational. The change apparently worked. Mundew scored a season-high 7.05 on her routine in the 16-team meet last Saturday at Dublin Coffman. “This was the first routine I’ve stuck all season,” she said. “It is pretty nervewracking to be the first gymnast out there, but you just get in a zone. It’s awesome knowing you have your whole team behind you.” Mundew’s beam routine helped set the tone for the rest of the meet for the Panthers. Darby finished seventh of 16 teams with 127.225 points. The Panthers had the fifth-best team score on floor exercise with a 34.2 and were sixth on vault (32.675) and

uneven bars (30.2) and eighth on beam (30.15). “Kari worked really hard on her routine,” coach Carol Eskay said. “Kari was our leadoff person and for her to go out there and stick her routine helped us out.” “I was doing a cartwheel-dive-cartwheel combination and I was having trouble landing it,” Mundew said. “So I had to take that out and mix some things around. It’s hard when you take something out because you have to remember to do different steps.” The meet was the first chance the Panthers had this season to see some of the elite teams outside of central Ohio. Brecksville-Broadview Heights, which had the best team scores on vault (36.7), bars (36.2), beam (35.0575) and floor (37.0), won with 144.975 points. It marked the fifth consecutive McGee championship for the Bees, who have won 10 state team titles, including the past seven. DeSales (135) and Painesville River-

Hook, a senior guard, leads the team in scoring at 13.5 points per game. He had 14 points against Davidson. “I think we have been playing well defensively and we have been rebounding, but we have had trouble scoring. We haven’t been able to get our shots to fall,” Hook said. “Our shots are going to fall. We have guys coming in and shooting before school starts. We are doing every rep in practice like it’s a game situation. Things like that can make a difference.” Becoming a good shooter takes practice. No one knows this as well as a coach. “Good shooters are that because of years of investment. Shooters are made over time. If you shoot a lot, you’ll get better and putting in extra time will always help,” Norris said. “But we hope to improve our execution or add a wrinkle to what we’re doing and that might help. The quality of shots we are taking, by in large, has been good and we shoot a lot in practice. Our team is starting to shoot well between

We have been able to make adjustments from the first game, but then again, our opponents feel the same way. “We just need to continue to practice well and get better. It’s a long season and it can really check the character of a team. I just want our kids to stay focused and keep getting better.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

$ Tieman said. “They have a big kid (6-foot-4 Scott McDonald) who can play and we didn’t see him in our first meeting because he was suspended or something. They are tough to guard because they can all shoot, dribble, drive and they defend well. “But we played our worst game of the season against them and only lost by nine and we’re feeling pretty good about ourselves right now. We’ll have a good week of practice and try to get after them.” The Eagles, who won the first matchup 56-47 on Dec. 7, are 90 overall and lead the OCC-Capital at 7-0.

Continued from page B1 “Jacob Starinsky was absolutely fantastic off the bench against Kilbourne,” Limbird said. “He stole the show. He was 7for-8 from the floor with five or six rebounds and we were waiting for him to explode. We know he’s capable and we believe in him. Now he’s starting to believe in himself. He’s really stepped it up the past four games and is just getting better and better. With our guard play, if we get 39 points in the post, we’ll be tough to beat.” Even with the confidence in place and the meshing of the inside and outside offense, the Jaguars recognize that Friday’s game will be a big test. “New Albany is the best team we’ll play in the regular season,”

6 and Watkins Memorial at 0-7. “We’re both different teams now,” Limbird said. “We’re playing with new confidence and our first meeting was our second game of the year and it was at their place. But McDonald didn’t play the first game for them and he’s a three-year starter. “But they don’t really have a standout. They’re so balanced. Nick Sosh (6-3 forward) leads them in scoring and they’ve got like four guys averaging anywhere from 10 to 13 points. Plus, their point guard (Trevon Brodrick) is an out-and-out defensive hawk. They’re just so tough to match up with because of their depth and balance.”

Eskay particularly was pleased with how her team performed on floor. The Panthers had five gymnasts score an 8.0 or higher in the event. “They showed a lot of energy and did exactly what we needed them to do,” Eskay said. “Overall, I think the girls are improving. “We’re still trying to get some skills cleaned up. This is the time of year we need to start picking up those tenths of a point and straightening legs and getting more height and being more dynamic. We showed that on quite a few things (last Saturday).”

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-

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.

WASHINGTON — In 2011, personal exemptions and standard deductions will rise and tax brackets will widen due to inflation. These inflation adjustments relate to eight tax provisions that were either modified or extended by the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 that became law on Dec. 17. New dollar amounts affecting 2011 returns, filed by most taxpayers in early 2012, include the following: The value of each personal and dependent exemption, available to most taxpayers, is $3,700, up $50 from 2010. The new standard deduction is $11,600 for married couples filing a joint return, up $200, $5,800 for singles and married individuals filing separately, up $100, and $8,500 for heads of household, also up $100. The additional standard deduction for blind people and senior citizens is $1,150 for married individuals, up $50, and $1,450 for singles and heads of household, also up $50. Nearly two out of three taxpayers take the standard deduction, rather than itemizing deductions, such as mortgage interest, charitable contributions and state and local taxes. Tax-bracket thresholds increase for each filing status. For a married couple filing a joint return, for example, the taxable-income threshold separating the 15-percent bracket from the 25-percent bracket is $69,000, up from $68,000 in 2010. The maximum earned income tax credit (EITC) for low- and moderate- income workers and working families rises to $5,751, up from $5,666 in 2010. The maximum income limit for the EITC rises to $49,078, up from $48,362 in 2010. The credit varies by family size, filing status and other factors, with the maximum credit going to joint filers with three or more qualifying children. The modified adjusted gross income threshold at which the lifetime learning credit begins to phase out is $102,000 for joint filers, up from $100,000, and $51,000 for singles and heads of household, up from $50,000. Several tax benefits are unchanged in 2011. For example, the monthly limit on the value of qualified transportation benefits (parking, transit passes, etc.) provided by an employer to its employees, remains at $230. Details on these inflation adjustments can be found in Revenue Procedure 2011-12. By law, the dollar amounts for a variety of tax provisions, affecting virtually every taxpayer, must be revised each year to keep pace with inflation. Most of the new dollar amounts, including retirementplan-related adjustments, were announced in October. To avoid confusion, these eight provisions released recently were not included in the October announcements, due to the anticipated impact of extender legislation.
