Trash service
Economy, fees blamed for sticker shock By CHRIS BOURNEA ThisWeek Community Newspapers Upper Arlington residents saw the cost of getting rid of their trash go up this year, with hikes in both the annual fee and the cost of stickers. The fee increased by $10 to $40 and a 50-cent increase went into effect for stickers, which now cost $2.90. The annual fee for premium, at-thedoor service remains at $150.
Several factors contributed to the increase, which went into effect Jan. 1, according to city officials. First of all, ironically, there’s the reCathe cession. Because peoArmstrong ple are cutting back and buying fewer items, “the actual output of solid waste has gone down,” said
Emma Speight, deputy city manager for community affairs. “We’re not getting the revenue in because people are using fewer stickers.” Another contributor was an increase in Franklin County landfill tipping fees, which went up by $3 per ton to $39.75 per ton at the start of 2011, said finance director Cathe Armstrong. “(The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio) came to city council and said, ‘We need to raise our tipping fees,’”
Armstrong said. “The reason was trash (output) was down all over the county. They believe there’s a direct correlation with the economy.” The rising cost of recycling also contributed to the increase in the annual fee and the sticker price, Speight said. “Paper had been a source of revenue for us. That is no longer the case,” she said. “Recycling now costs us a sizable amount of money.” The city has budgeted $312,000 to
pay for solid waste services this year, Armstrong said. City council did not have to vote to approve the increase in the annual fee and the sticker price, she said. When the city privatized the solid waste program in 2007, code was rewritten to allow the city manager to recommend a price increase. The increase in the annual fee and sticker price is not intended to raise See TRASH, page A2

The path to the Amelita Mirolo Barn is still covered with snow and mud, but those involved from the start can already see the barn beginning to shine. Tim Moloney, city parks and recreation director, and Kate Erstein, executive director of the Upper Arlington Historical Society, recalled how grimy the original barn timbers were when they walked through it in 2008 before dismantling and moving it from its Lane Road location.

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
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.” See AGENCY, page A7

Last year was a consistent year for development in Upper Arlington, according to the city’s development director. Dean Sivinski said construction values were slightly under $50-million in 2010 (down slightly from 2009), which consisted of $23-million in residential activity, $22.2-million commercial, and $3-million miscellaneous. He said that 2,260 permits were issued in 2010, generating $688,800 in revenue — a five-
city increased 24 percent to a total of 889. Three demolition permits were issued, and six new singlefamily homes were constructed.

the timber framers guild was camping on site. There wasn’t a tornado but a large maple tree fell,” Moloney said, as he pointed out a section of maple tree in the framing. “The framer’s decided to include it as a structural element,” he said. “They call it live bracing.” When the structure is complete, it will host public and private events (rental information is available through the parks and recreation department). The major offerings of this facility include a catering kitchen, multi-media presentation equipment, stage and amphitheater and room for up to 200 in a quiet park setting. Sue Ralph, Upper Arlington Community Foundation executive director, said reservations are already coming in for events starting July 1. The Jake Will Amphitheater and UA Arts Stage will host the city’s summer concert series as well as a theater camp for kids. Erstein said the historical society is committed to providing a lecture series in the facility as well as an interactive display of the city’s history. On May 21, the community foundation, historical society, the city and other participating organizations will welcome the public in to see the barn during the city’s Spring Fling event from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The community foundation is still accepting funds to complete the project; for more information on donations visit http://uacommunityfoundation.com. “No one has said no to helping with this project,” Ralph said. “The whole community has really made it happen. This has really shown what can happen when we come together.”
tion of the barn and looking around, well, Legg would recognize this,”said Moloney, pointing out several of the original features, including an old pulley and a hay track. According to Moloney, the original barn was 20 feet by 30 feet. This is what has been resurrected and joined to the larger, newly hewn, timber-framed section, providing a total indoor space of approximately 3,700 square feet. Such a large space, however, doesn’t mean a lack of energy efficiency. “The whole building is wrapped in SIP [Structural Insulated Panels], which combined with the original barn material offers a greater than R30 energy rating,” Moloney said. Even a high efficiency wall heater is made to fit into the structure as seamlessly as possible. After commenting to one of the carpenters about how it would be nice to disguise the heater, Moloney said that he came back on site a few days later, and without any additional expense, the carpenter made a wooden frame to mask the modern heating unit. In the catering kitchen, Moloney pointed out another piece of detail that the contractor completed without requesting a change order. “This is typical of Setterlin Construction on this project,” Moloney said. “They want to see it come together as best as possible, too, and have taken a lot of pride in it. This project is on time and under budget.” One detail of particular interest came about back in September. “The week of the barn-raising there was a tornado warning while

money for the general fund, Speight stressed, but simply to keep the city’s solid waste program solvent. “The city’s intention is never to bring in more money. The goal is to keep (the solid waste program) running itself,” she said. “When we were able to privatize the services, the sticker price went down. If recycling were to become profitable again, absolutely we would look at reducing the (sticker) price.” The city initially signed a oneyear contract in 2007 with Laguna Vista, Texas-based Inland Service Corp. to provide solid waste pickup. Resident complaints about the company have dwindled since 2008, when the city signed a three-year contract with Inland, Speight said. “There have been a handful of calls” from residents about Inland missing their homes on pickup day, she said. “Inland has been very good at going back and retrieving the trash when those calls come in.” www.ThisWeekNews.com

Decorators’ Show House
Sneak Peek will offer a ‘before’ look By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
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
RALPH Continued from page A1 As Ralph takes over the position, she said her goals are to increase community outreach, see the barn through to completion and create an annual signature fundraising event to supplement the work the foundation currently does one-on-one with individual donors. “The barn is a perfect example of how community means everything to the board and to our residents,” Ralph said. “This project shows exactly what community members can do when we come together. I look forward to completing the barn and inviting people in to see it and educate them about it.” Ralph has been an Upper Arlington resident since childhood and a community volunteer for
much of her life. After meeting her husband, they chose to raise their children here too, in a house adjacent to the current Sunny 95 Park. She served as past president and board member of the Upper Arlington Education Foundation and has been co-chair of the school district’s levy campaign as well as a past PTO board member. She has also served on the Upper Arlington Women’s Club board and as a Franklin Park Conservatory Women’s Board member. “The foundation board is the hardest working set of board members I’ve had the opportunity to serve,” Ralph said. “Every one of them is involved and everybody works. “This opportunity offers me a career that I can expand on the volunteer work I’ve always done.”
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

DEVELOPMENT Continued from page A1 think that speaks volumes for the quality of the community.” While the $50- to $60-million Kingsdale redevelopment and the opening of the Market District Giant Eagle was the most visible project in UA last year, Sivinski said that those numbers won’t be reflected in his upcoming annual department report to the city: The construction permit was issued prior to 2010. Also approved for occupancy at Kingsdale in 2010 were Burgers, Dogs and Fries; Frame Station; Jeffrey Thomas; Kenneth’s Hair Salon; MCL Cafeteria; Orange Leaf Yogurt; and Swan Cleaners.
Up next for Kingsdale Center is demolition of the old Giant Eagle space, Sivinski said, with a hardware store and post office scheduled to go in its place. A free-standing medical building and a cityowned facility under the water tower will also be razed in 2011. Two office buildings are being proposed to provide the city with more income tax revenue. “Our land use is we’re 95 percent residential, 5 percent commercial,” Sivinski said of the 9.5mile landlocked (in that the property surrounding UA is within other municipal jurisdictions) city of 33,000. “There’s not that much room for commercial development, which is where you try to get your income tax.”
Other major projects in 2010 included the $7-million Upper Arlington Fire Station 72; the final phase of a $16-million renovation and addition to the Wellington School; $8.5-million renovation and addition to the Scioto Country Club; $1.5-million renovation and addition to Holy Trinity Church; construction of the Sunny 95 Pavilion; an expansion of Engineering Mechanics Corporation of Columbus; and science room renovation to the high school. Sivinski said 2011 projects include moving Whole Foods Market into the Lane Avenue Center. “We’re doing well, and we have been busy, solid,” he said. “It’s been a consistent year for development in Upper Arlington.”

Chocolate milk: Good nutritional trade-off To the editor: I read with interest the letter from Andrew Miller in UA This Week (“Top Flight Schools Deserve a Better Approach to Lunch,” Jan. 5, 2011). After a career in pediatric nutrition and most recently in obesity and weight management, I welcome the opportunity to discuss the issue of flavored milk in schools. Although I understand Miller’s concern about sugar on its surface, for many reasons his attack on flavored milk is misdirected. Unfortunately, conversations about nutrition are almost always reduced to “things to avoid,” such as fats, sodium and most recently, sugars. But quality nutrition is comprised of the total diet, not just a few nutrients. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans in 2005 and in 2010 cited five core food groups, one of which was low-fat milk and dairy, reflecting a national consensus among nutritionists that the nine nutrients found in milk are a crucial dietary foundation. Several of those nutrients, including protein, Vitamins A and D, calcium and phosphorus are “nutrients of concern” in the diets of American children. Yet milk consumption has fallen steadily over the past three decades as the obesity epidemic has taken root, one fundamental reason why today’s children are not just overweight, but also undernourished. In the American Academy of Pediatrics, both the Committee on Nutrition and the Council on School Health, of which I am a member, have endorsed the use of flavored milk to encourage more consumption. Why? Importantly, sugar does not cause obesity; excess calories do. Milk consumption consistently is associated with lower body weight and fat. Studies done on children who regularly consumed flavored milk did not show a higher weight gain than peers who did not drink milk, but did show a daily nutrient intake that far surpassed non-consumers. In New York, when flavored milk was pulled from schools, consumption fell by more than 30 percent and remained low for over two years of the trial, an extremely poor dietary trade-off. There is a critical difference between flavored milk and soft drinks. Flavored milk accounts for only 3 percent of a child’s total sugar intake; whereas the sugars in soft and fruit drinks comprise
over 10 percent of total calories. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines recognize that all of us consume some discretionary sugar in our diet. Their recommendation is that we use sugar to encourage greater intake of foods of high nutritional quality. Milk is a poster child for this idea. Finally, let me note that the flavored milks offered in America’s schools are low-fat or no-fat, a type of milk that kids reject overwhelmingly. Yet the addition of a few teaspoons of added sugar masks the removal of saturated fat, which is a much greater health concern. If the PTA wants to attack the problem of high-calorie, low-nutrient sources of sugars and fats in UA schools, look to the fundraisers, the candy and bake sales, the concession stands and classroom parties and rewards. In terms of nutrition, removal of flavored milk would be a costly mistake. Robert Murray M.D. Upper Arlington

that UA firefighters work two days a week. Actually they work 56 hours a week, 24 hours on duty and 48 hours off. He also said they get yearly eight weeks of vacation. In fact, one battalion chief gets eight weeks; the average firefighter gets 5.4 weeks, a figure reflecting the number of personnel who have more than 20 years of service. DeCapua mistakenly claimed that firefighters can retire after 25 years with full benefits and pension. They can retire after 25 years at a minimum age of 48 with a base pension drawn from the Ohio Police and Firefighters Pension Fun. Maximum pensions may be drawn after they served 33 years. The average pension drawn by retirees or their survivors is $30,000. DeCapua notes that UA has a fire every three to five years. He does not credit an effective fire prevention program nor does he mention what firefighters do while waiting for that next fire. Last year they responded to 7,100 emergency calls. How many lives were saved by the UAFD’s quick response is hard to determine. Additionally, non-emergency programs are offered to the public: smoke detector and carbon monoxide inspections, blood pressure screenings, hydrant maintenance and flushing, station tours, school visitations, public speaking dates, etc. Upper Arlington is a great city that has been served in the past by councils whose members exhibited honesty and integrity. Hopefully this council will continue that tradition.
To the editor: According to the Dispatch (Saturday, Jan. 8), Columbus Fire Chief Ned Pettus told the recent Division of Fire recruit class, “You will be taking care of people on one of the worst days of their lives.” Upper Arlington firefighters have done that, but are now being attacked by a city councilman who is misrepresenting the service they provide. On Jan. 9 the Dispatch quoted Jane and John Leach David DeCapua’s e-mail stating Upper Arlington

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.
gler, 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 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.

City news AEP’s work on Lane Avenue has begun American Electric Power’s (AEP) construction project along Lane Avenue began Monday. AEP will install underground electric utility lines, connecting a substation west of the Scioto River with a substation at Ohio State University. The first phase of this project is comprised of trenching work to install casing for the utility line, beginning immediately west of Northwest Boulevard and working toward Riverside Drive. Phase one is expected to last through early May. Once this section is complete, work will resume at Northwest Boulevard, heading east along Lane Avenue, tentatively scheduled to occur between early May and June. At a date to be determined, construction crews will return to pull the electric cable through the underground casing. Lane Avenue is scheduled for resurfacing once AEP’s project is completed. Additional work will occur for areas outside Upper Arlington’s boundaries, including a portion of Riverside Drive running north from Lane Avenue, and continuing east along
Lane Avenue before heading across OSU’s west campus. The timelines for these portions of the project are pending. The trench is being installed in the southernmost lane of Lane Avenue. In the immediate vicinity of the construction zone, Lane Avenue will be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction. Some detours for cross streets will be necessary as the project progresses, according to city officials, but every effort will be made to maintain traffic flow along Lane Avenue for the majority of the project. The city of Upper Arlington has contracted with CT Consultants to provide onsite project management services on the city’s behalf and in the interest of its residents and businesses who will be affected by this project. Updates will be made available regularly via the city’s website, at www.uaoh.net where it is possible to sign up for project email updates, and via the City’s Twitter (CityofUA) and Facebook (The City of Upper Arlington) pages, among other outreach efforts. Residents and businesses along Lane Avenue will receive hand-delivered project updates to notify them when construction will be in their area, among other updates. Addi-

Continued from page A1 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 Kiwanian 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 proj-
ect 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 Northwest Kiwanis Club. … Northwest Kiwanis has also been the key financial sponsor for dozens of our programs.” Club member Jake Will said he’s been in charge of giving out 11 $1,500 scholarships to college-bound high school students in the area for 16 years. “We’ve given out $450,000 in scholarships,” Will said. “We have done so much for the cities of Upper Arlington and Grandview. We’ve done more for this community than any other service club.” The Northwest Kiwanis Club meets at 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays at MCL in the Kingsdale Center. “Anybody who is interested in serving our community and serving the children are very welcome to join us,” Snellgrove said.

Grand reopening celebrated at site of building destroyed by fire
Have You Heard?
By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Sunny skies and moderate winter weather greeted the grand reopening of Grandview Avenue Physical Therapy Monday at the Wagenbrenner Company’s new building on Grandview Avenue. The weather conditions were far different exactly two years earlier, when a fire damaged the twostory Kingswood Building beyond repair. On Jan. 17, 2009, frigid temperatures played havoc with firefighting efforts and caused water from the fire hoses to freeze on the nearby trees. GAPT is the only original tenant to move back into the Wagenbrenner building site, now called The Windsor Building, on the east side of Grandview Avenue between Third and Fifth avenues. The reopening event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony, door prizes, free massages and food samples offered by two other future Windsor Building tenants, Matt the Miller Restaurant and Orange Leaf Yogurt. GAPT is now open for business and excited to be back in its original location, owner Kevin Kerchansky said. “I think it’s fantastic what they’ve rebuilt here,” he said. “As soon as we saw the design, we knew we wanted to come back. We were able to find a temporary location within two weeks of the fire, but we always wanted to come back here. It’s the Grandview Avenue location that’s so special.” The business’ new space is smaller and more efficient than its original Kingswood Building office, Kerchansky said. He said he will never forget the day of the fire. “I was actually on the interstate on my way to a Pittsburgh Steelers game and I got a call saying, ‘Don’t come back, there’s been a fire,’” Kerchansky said. “It was devastating. It’s so good to be back.” As part of Monday’s festivities, Orange Leaf Yogurt owner George Scott was serving samples of yo-

gurt. Orange Leaf plans to open its Windsor Building location around March 1, Scott said. Its first store is located in the Kingsdale shopping center in Upper Arlington. Orange Leaf serves only yogurt, 16 flavors in all with 40 different toppings available, he said. “We’re excited about opening here on Grandview Avenue and really appreciative to be included in the building,” Scott said. “Grandview Avenue is such a great location with all the activity and pedestrian traffic.” Chef Brian McCafferty of Matt the Miller was also serving up samples of the pub/tavern menu the restaurant offers. “We’re a family friendly restaurant, but it’s also a place you can have a fun night out and meet up with your buddies for some good food and a beer,” he said. Matt the Miller also operates a restaurant in Dublin, and McCafferty said the business did a lot of research to find the perfect location for its second outlet. “The Grandview area definitely has this great community-based feel that we want to be part of,”
he said. “Grandview Avenue is a great location for a true ‘pour house’style of restaurant like ours. There’s so much activity along the avenue.” Matt the Miller plans to open in March or April, McCafferty said. Elli Nail Spa will occupy a fourth retail space on the Windsor Building’s first floor and a fifth business has signed a letter of intent to locate in the last storefront. The four-story building will include 27 one- and two-bedroom apartments on the upper three floors. Grandview Mayor Ray DeGraw was among those participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “It’s great to have the site rebuilt,” he said. “It fills a big void the fire left on Grandview Avenue.” “It’s exciting to have a building that’s even better than the original development,” said Patrik Bowman, Grandview’s director of administration/economic development. Having not only retail but residential units in the building will be a plus, he said.
The latest study providing evidence that low blood levels of B vitamins (most notably folate) are linked with age-related hearing loss involves a study of nearly 3,000 adults over age 50. When their blood levels of folate, vitamin B12, and homocysteine were compared with their incidence of hearing loss, it was found that those with the lowest levels of folate were 39% more likely to suffer hearing loss. People with the most homocysteine (an amino acid, which folate has been shown to lower in the body) were at 64% greater risk. Researchers suspect that homocysteine is the culprit because it may adversely affect blood flow to the cochlea (the spiral cavity of the inner ear), leading to age-related hearing loss. Research and technology are constantly on the move toward innovative ideas and products to bring back the sounds of life to the hearing impaired. The folate link with age-related hearing loss mentioned above is a perfect examples of this.

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.

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.

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.

Field Hockey
Hufford steps down as Bears coach By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
McKenzie Hufford stepped down as coach of the Upper Arlington High School field hockey team earlier this month, saying her decision was a “mutual agreement” between herself and school officials. “I had a great four years at Upper Arlington,” Hufford said. “I really enjoyed my time there. It’s a sad ending to a chapter of my life, but I wish Upper Arlington the best of luck. They have a lot
of talent there.” Hufford, 29, replaced Nikki Wimsatt as coach before the 2007 season and compiled a 42-24-6 record in four seasons with the Golden Bears, including a 10-8 mark last fall. UA ended each season in a district semifinal. “She did a fine job. She’s a fine coach,” said co-athletics director Jodi Palmer, who oversees girls sports at UA. “We just decided it was time to go in a different direction. As a district, we wish her nothing but the best.” UA had its best season under Hufford
in 2009, when it finished 13-3-3. Having to replace eight starters from that team last fall, the Bears started slowly, losing six of their first eight games. However, they won eight of their final 10, including victories over Toledo Maumee Valley Country Day (2-0) and Dublin Coffman (6-0) in the first two rounds of the district tournament before losing to Bexley 2-0 in a district semifinal. Also last season, UA went 6-5 in the 16-team Central Ohio Field Hockey League to place ninth, behind Columbus Academy (11-0), Thomas Wor-
thington (10-1), Watterson (7-2-2), Bexley (7-3-1), Coffman (7-3-1), Olentangy Liberty (7-4), Columbus School for Girls (6-4-1) and Hartley (6-4-1). “It’s very challenging to be a head coach. A lot goes into coaching,” said Hufford, who was a varsity assistant at Thomas for four seasons before being hired at UA. “But I enjoyed every minute of it, and I learned a lot about myself. “Field hockey has always been a passion of mine, and I definitely want to continue to coach. It’s all about finding the right situation for me. But for now
I’m going in a different direction. I just got married in November and I’m trying to finish my master’s (degree) right now. It all depends on how things go.” Palmer said no timetable has been set for finding Hufford’s successor. “Right now we’re in the process of collecting résumés of interested candidates,” she said. “I hope by spring that we would have our coach in place.” UA loses six seniors in Emily Fitz (forward), Emma Frair (forward), Kristy See COACH, page B2

Bears guard against letdown By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Upper Arlington High School boys basketball team finds itself in a familiar position at the midway point of its schedule. As was the case last season, the Golden Bears are 10-0 overall and sit atop the OCC-Central Division at 7-0. Dublin Coffman is second in the league at 6-1, followed by Hilliard Davidson and Thomas Worthington at 4-3, Central Crossing, Hilliard Darby and Worthington Kilbourne at 2-5 and Westland at 1-6. “We’re in the same position that we were last year,” senior post player Wes Richter said. “We’re in the driver’s seat and we’ve just got to keep going, keep winning games.” In the locker room after a 5352 win at Coffman last Friday, coach Tim Casey reminded his team that it has to guard against a letdown moving forward. “I told our guys, ‘Hey, it’s a good win. I want you to enjoy it. But it’s game 10,’” Casey said. “If we start thinking we’re pretty good, then that’s when we’re going to set ourselves up for failure. You’ve got to keep it in perspective. “We’re a target. People are going to give us their best shot. That’s the reality, and that’s the way we want it to be. But with that target comes the responsibility to make sure you play night in and night out.” The only other game in which UA’s margin of victory was fewer than 11 points was its 50-48 win over Worthington Kilbourne on Dec. 10. Richter had 20 points to lead the Bears and junior guard Carter Smith scored 14, including a layup as time expired. The Bears play host to Kilbourne on Tuesday. “It was a good test midway through the year,” senior guard Brian Sullivan said of the win over Coffman. “Obviously, it wasn’t going to make or break our season, but it puts us in a good position conference-wise.” The defending OCC-Central champion, UA begins the second round of league play Friday at Thomas Worthington, which the Bears defeated 65-39 on Dec. 7. “I know that game was a little lopsided in our favor, but I felt like they were a very good team,” Casey said of the Cardinals, who improved to 7-4 overall with a 49-40 win over Kilbourne last Friday behind 18 points from 6foot-10 post player Jordan Cowgill. “I told our guys right after we played them, ‘That’s a team that has more than enough pieces to really give you fits if you’re not ready to play,’and I really believe that. They’re as talented as anybody in the league.” UA, which is riding a 29-game regular-season winning streak, beat Coffman 64-58 and 65-62 last season en route to winning its first OCC title since the 1995-

Girls Basketball
Corbett adds versatility to her game By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
At a glance
Mary Corbett is a creature of habit when it comes to basketball. She goes through the same rituals before each game. “Since my freshman year, I’ve listened to the same music,” said the senior guard for the Upper Arlington High School girls basketball team. “I wear the same socks. Don’t worry, I wash them before every game, but it’s the same pair. I do the same dance before each game.” While her pregame ritual doesn’t vary, Corbett’s game has evolved. Long known as a 3-point specialist, Corbett has developed a mid-range jumper and is averaging 13.6 points through 11 games. She can still shoot the 3, making 25 of 43 (58.1 percent) this season. “She’s become a much more versatile player,” coach Chris Savage said. “She’s become better at shooting that 10- to 12-foot jumper, and that’s allowed her to get some clean looks from the

Sullivan scored a career-high 35 points in the first matchup and 25 in the second, and he had another big offensive performance against the Shamrocks last Friday with 29 points. “It’s kind of the game we mark on our schedule,” Sullivan said. “I’m not going to lie, (Coffman’s) our rival. And my dad always told me that big-time players rise up in big-time games, so that’s what I tried to do.” After Coffman took a 52-51 lead on a three-point play by guard Zack Riddle with 32 seconds left, Sullivan made what proved to be the winning basket when he hit fadeaway jumper along the baseline with 17 seconds remaining. “He’s your money guy. He’s your go-to guy,” Casey said of Sullivan, a Miami University signee. “He had 29 and you think about how many (shots he took that) hung up on the rim.

As a sophomore, Corbett was UA’s second-best 3-point shooter to Abby Frye, making about 33 percent. As a junior, Corbett made nine 3-pointers in her first two games but then hit just one in the next nine games. “Teams got to know me as a pretty good 3-point shooter, so they forced me to try to score off the dribble,” Corbett said. “Last summer when we’d go to the gym together, my dad (Grandview boys basketball coach Ray Corbett) would work on my midrange game before I’d shoot 3pointers.” She is glad her offensive game is more diverse. “(Last year’s slump) was difficult to go through. I think it got into my head a little bit,” she said. “I’ve matured a little bit (because of that). When I miss the first couple of shots, I keep shooting because I believe in myself.”
COACH
Continued from page B1 girls team, said the event is one of the things she has been looking forward to this season. “The Jaguar Invitational means a lot to me,” Troy said. “We’ve struggled this season, but I know we’re growing and becoming as one as a team.” The girls team is 3-8 after losing to Hartley 60-16 on Jan. 12 and defeating Granville Christian Academy 33-32 last Saturday. Against Granville Christian, the Jaguars were outscored 13-0 in the first quarter but used a 175 third quarter to come back. Coach Tysha Crump said her team has been coping with the loss of senior Grace Korandovich, a 5-foot-9 forward who tore a ligament in her right foot before the season opener against CSG on Nov. 30. Korandovich had been playing sporadically, but doctors have advised her to sit out the next four to six weeks to heal. The team also lost junior guard Paige Price, who suffered a broken pinkie on her left hand early in the season. “Grace’s our only senior, and she provided a lot of the leadership for this team,” Crump said. “She’s still out there, cheering the team on, but we loved to have her out there (on the court).” “It’s been pretty rough playing without Grace and Paige,” Troy said. “Grace has been one of the main leaders, but I know we can get through this year.” Crump pointed to the development of players like Sophia Knowles, who scored 10 points against Hartley and 18 in a 5742 loss to Tree of Life on Dec. 21, and Donnette Cox, who had 15 points in a 43-38 win over Grove City Christian on Jan 4. “Everything is a team effort,” Crump said. “We’re just taking things day by day. They’ve been a great group of girls to work with.” The boys team has been struggling to rekindle the form that got it to a Division IV district championship game last year. Wellington was 3-7 overall before playing Bexley last Tuesday. “We’re a young team, and we’re trying to make the turn,” McCants said. “One of the biggest challenges we’ve had is trying to get everyone to trust each other.” The Jaguars will get a second look at Granville Christian in

Corbett will be tested when the Bears play host to Thomas on Friday. The Cardinals have allowed 23 3-pointers in their eight league games, and five of those came in a 52-48 loss to UA on Dec. 7. Thomas has allowed only six 3s in its last four games. “Thomas is a very physical team,” Savage said. “They’ve got a very solid sophomore (Frannie Frazier) and we have to keep her from going off on us. I felt like we played very good defense the
first time we played them. If we can play good defense, we’ve got a good chance to win that game.” Corbett has had mixed results against the Cardinals the past three years. She scored 22 points with four 3-pointers in a 45-42 loss to Thomas last year, but in the last five meetings with the Cardinals, she has averaged 10 points and made only six 3-pointers. Corbett has started 53 consecutive games, a streak that started with a 60-43 victory over Thomas on Dec. 9, 2008. In that game, Corbett led UA with 13 points and made a 3-pointer. “I remember being so nervous before my first start,” Corbett said. “I was just freaking out. As the seasons have gone on, I’ve become less and less nervous. “The biggest thing I’ve picked up was maturity. Before, when things went the wrong way, I’d get really down on myself. All the coaches have told me that’s not OK. I need to keep my head in the game.”

best guy day in and day out and that’s Brian Sullivan,” said Richter, who scored 16 points against the Shamrocks, including a 3-pointer that put UA ahead 51-49 with 52 seconds left. “He continues to hit big shots, especially against Coffman. (Last Friday) he hit a real dagger there at the end. He was incredible.” Sullivan also hurt Coffman with his defense, as he blocked a jump shot by guard Christian Heine inside the lane with 3.5 pdolan@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com seconds left.

ThisWeekSPORTS.com “That was big and that was clean,” Casey said of the block. “Good players make plays and put you in position to win and (Sullivan’s) one of the best.” “I saw (Heine) rise up (for the shot),” Sullivan said. “It probably wasn’t the smartest play to go for the block the way (the officials) were calling the game, but it was instincts and I went up and got a piece of it.” UA led Coffman by as many as eight points and took a 29-21 lead into halftime. The Shamrocks trimmed their deficit to 3532 by the end of the third quarter and took their first lead at 4039 on forward Adam Hall’s 3pointer with 5:43 left. There were seven lead changes in the final 5:30. “We teetered a couple times, but I honestly never thought that we’d go away,” Casey said. “This is a tough group, a competitive group, an invested group. ... The guys hung in there and battled and put us in a good spot (in the league).”

Twitter @TWSportsFan today.
Including the state football championships won by Hartley and Watterson, non-public schools won five of the six state football titles and 19 of the 27 total state team championships awarded by the Ohio High School Athletic Association during the 2010 fall season. If the OHSAA has its way, it could be tougher in the future for non-public schools — which comprise just 12 percent of the OHSAA’s more than 800 members — to dominate at such a high level. On Jan. 13, the organization’s Board of Directors unanimously placed a new bylaw up for vote based on recommendations from the OHSAA’s Competitive Balance Committee that would be the first step toward changing how schools are assigned to tournament divisions. The proposed new bylaw, which initially would be instituted for football, boys and girls soccer and girls volleyball in the fall, boys and girls basketball in the winter, and baseball and softball in the spring, will be voted on by OHSAA member schools in May. The proposal states that each school will be placed into tournament divisions based on its sport-by-sport “athletic count,” which would be based on a three-part formula. If approved, implementation of the formula would begin no
later than the 2013-14 school year and would be determined every other year by the Board of Directors. “The meetings we have conducted with the Competitive Balance Committee have been both productive and professional, and I believe the proposal from the group is fair and equitable and we will see some leveling of the playing field,” OHSAA Commissioner Dan Ross said in a press release. “Ohio is unique in that our public schools have the option to approve open-enrollment policies, but, at the same time, there’s no question that most non-public schools in the state have no geographical boundaries in which they can secure students, and the result has been a disproportionate number of championships won by those schools.” All OHSAA schools currently are placed into tournament divisions based strictly on enrollment figures that the schools submit to the Ohio Department of Education. The proposed three-part formula to establish “athletic counts” would require the OHSAA to include factors in three areas: school boundaries, socioeconomic factors and tradition factors. The “school boundary” factor would be divided into the categories of non-public schools with no boundaries, non-public schools with limited boundaries, public schools with statewide open enrollment, public schools with adjacent open enrollment
and public schools with no open enrollment. The “socioeconomic factor” would be determined by the number of free lunch participants. The “tradition factor” would be determined by state championship game appearances, state tournament appearances and regional finals appearances. Once all three factors are applied to the enrollment count, each school would have a sportby-sport “athletic count” for purposes of tournament division assignments. In central Ohio, schools that likely would be affected by some of the changes would include DeSales, St. Charles and Ready, as well as Hartley and Watterson from the CCL, Columbus Academy from the MSL, traditional boys basketball and boys soccer power Worthington Christian and members of Columbus City Schools. The OHSAA’s Competitive Balance Committee was formed in January 2010 in response to concerns raised by a group of school administrators in northeast Ohio. The committee met numerous times throughout 2010 in an attempt to identify competitive balance factors and to propose changes. It was comprised of 29 school administrators and coaches from across the state from public and nonpublic schools. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
