New Albany-Plain Local schools
BOE, Domine share goals at retreat By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The New Albany-Plain Local school board and new superintendent April Domine say they have a better understanding of their roles after a board retreat Jan. 29. “It goes back to the core responsibilities — respective roles — and core responsibilities for building a team,” said board vice president Laura Kohler.
The board members and Domine individually were asked a series of 35 questions by Bill Reimer, who served as interim superintendent for the district until Domine was hired. He has returned to work for the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio, which the district pays for services on a yearly basis. Reimer, the board’s consultant on the project, reviewed their answers and presented them to the board during the retreat. “I think one of the interesting things
was how much commonality there was in the answers,” Kohler said. “I think that we’re really committed to putting a management team together.” Kohler said working with Reimer as the facilitator for the meeting also helped. “I think his experience with the district made the information that much more relevant to us all,” she said. During the retreat, the board and Domine began planning for the board’s
improvement and, ultimately, the district’s improvement under their joint direction. “We’re establishing actual protocols, on how to govern as a board, how to communicate as a board and how to improve as a board,” Kohler said. Board member Natalie Matt said she would put those ideas on one document and present them to the board for further review at a future meeting. The board members and Domine also
talked about how they should be communicating and determined how Domine should report information to the board. They also discussed goals for the rest of the year for both the board and Domine. “We began to outline our goals,” Kohler said. “We did not solidify any goals. Dr. Reimer is drafting a list based on our conversations and is bringing those back. See RETREAT, page A2

Five groups likely will be formed at different endurance levels, from runners who have trained before to walkers just starting out, she said. During the first meeting, Schmidt said, she discussed training and a schedule. Her goal is to have people in the group ready to
New Albany is considering changing the way it handles donations and in-kind services for special events. “We’re coming to an agreement on what type of procedure we’re going to use to review grant applications for nonprofit organizations in our community,” said Mayor Nancy Ferguson. Ferguson said council is considering having organizations pay for services in advance and the village could grant part of the proceeds back to the organization in the future. “(Village) staff would like us to be aware of the cost of the services,” she said. After talking about the new procedure during a Jan. 25 workshop, council was expected to vote on a motion of support for it at the Feb. 1 regular council meeting. Visit the New Albany community page at www.ThisWeekNews.com for details of the vote. In 2010, council agreed to include $60,000 in its 2011 budget for special events. Scott McAfee, village communications director, said New Albany spent about $55,000 in 2010 for in-kind services, such as traffic control by the police department, traffic barriers set up during parades and cleanup work by service workers after events conclude. McAfee said the village sometimes waives inspection fees of tents and bleachers for nonprofit organizations, as well. “For 2011, the village has $60,000 budgeted to assist organizations that need help,” McAfee said. “In 2012, the village may have to factor in all in-kind services and start charging for those.”

‘Run with Wings’
Program promotes spiritual, physical fitness By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Rev. Keri Schmidt is combining religion and exercise in a new program called “Run with Wings.” “It’s open to anyone who’s interested in being spiritually and physically fit in 2011,” she said. “It’s a resolution solver.” Schmidt, who joined New Albany United Methodist Church in September and presides over the 9:30 a.m. contemporary service, said she ran her first marathon in 2010 and many of the church members commented on the accomplishment.
“I would see people in the church and they’d say ‘I wish we could do that,’” she said. “So I thought, ‘why can’t we do that? Why can’t we do it together with God as our guide?’” The first run for the “Run with Wings” program was at 7 a.m. Jan. 30, before church services. The program is open to anyone who is interested, she said. Schmidt planned to cover a mile-and-a-half — and plenty of doctrine — during the first session. “All the while we’re running, we’ll be discussing scripture and (having) Bible discussions,” she said. To gauge interest, Schmidt recently held a meet-

“After 12 weeks, if we decide to continue, I’d love to try a half marathon,” she said. “It could be a growing, moving, evolving thing.” Schmidt said she is originally from Tennessee and has been a pastor for six years. The church on Third Street currently has about 300 people attending one of three worship services, she said. Two traditional services are held at 8:30 and 11 a.m. in addition to the contemporary service. More information about “Run with Wings” is available by calling the church at (614) 855-1403.

According to officials, the event attracted 200 participants last year and raised nearly $8,000 for the symphony orchestra.

NAHS TEACHER Continued from page A1 “We’ll be talking about what to look for, watching for light, understanding framing and looking for detail,” Sam Robbins said. “We’ll also be using different shutter speeds and apertures.” For more information about the workshop, visit www.oaxacaculture.com. Robbins speaks like a Mexican native when describing Oaxaca and Mexico. She said she has visited the country since she was a child because her father was an archaeologist. “I always feel at home in Mexico. It’s like another world,” she said. Robbins started out on a much different path than photography. She worked on Capital Hill in Washington, D.C., for seven years as a speechwriter and researcher before she and Tom, an architect who teaches at Columbus State Community College, decided to move to Ohio. She ran a quilt shop for many years while he

taught architecture at Columbus State as their hobby of taking pictures developed. Now, both are avid shutterbugs. Their photography expeditions often take them to Oaxaca. Both Robbinses have been recognized for their work and recently were featured in Black and White Magazine. Robbins taught art history and humanities at New Albany High School before starting a photography class four years ago. The class has grown so large she can barely schedule all the students for time in the darkroom, she said. The class is not digital — students use film and develop their own prints. The class expanded from two sections each semester to four and many students come in before school starts and stay after to develop their prints, she said. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Auditor’s office preparing for property reappraisals Wherever I visit, whenever I talk, property owners in Franklin County ask me the same question and nine times out of 10, it is the first question they ask. “The real estate market seems to be struggling,” they start, “so I should expect to see my property taxes go down as well, correct?” I do not particularly like to disappoint people, nor will I ever be dishonest with them. “No matter what happens with the upcoming 2011 reappraisal,” I say, “You should not expect any significant fluctuation in your tax bill.” The Franklin County Auditor’s Office is in the process of reappraising all of the more than 438,000 parcels of property in the county. When we release new values in the middle of this coming summer, homeowners can expect a new fair market value for their homes. We will mail a letter informing owners what our appraisers have estimated the home would sell for if it were to be placed on the open market. Most property owners can expect that their values will be changed. Many people believe that if a new, higher value is established, their tax bill will be increased at a similar percentage to
the value increase. Conversely, if the value is lowered, they expect their tax bill to be similarly lower. CLARENCE UnfortuE. MINGO II nately, neither assumption is true. Ohio law is designed to protect both taxpayers and taxing jurisdictions during periods of rapid change in the real estate market. In a rising market, owners’tax bills do not increase at the same rate as the rise in values and when the values decrease, tax bills do not decrease at the same percentage as the decline in values . House Bill 920 was passed nearly 40 years ago. It protects both owners and taxing jurisdictions through a tax rate adjustment called “the reduction factors.” Any property owner concerned about their 2010 tax bill or the 2011 reappraisal is welcome to call 614-525-HOME (4663) to speak to a member of my staff. I always encourage individuals to research House Bill 920. There is a wealth of information on the Internet that discusses the impact of the bill and most importantly, how
the reappraisal will not affect, in any significant measure, how much you pay in property taxes. After values are set later this year, we will set up sites in various communities within the county to give residents the opportunity to come in and talk about the value we have tentatively set for their property. If we find we are in error, we can and will make changes to that particular value. Property owners will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with an appraiser from our office at the “informal reviews.” We always encourage property owners to bring in any information that would help us understand their concerns. We will take a careful look at the information provided by the owner as well as other sources of market information to assure fair and equitable valuations, making changes as appropriate. It’s a very user-friendly process. This summer, every property owner in Franklin County will receive a letter from our office letting them know the proposed new value of their property. We want people to take the value notice seriously and we want them to take See AUDITOR, page A5
As it were
Abram was part of an intriguing Civil War-era McDowell family Traveling west across the Broad Street bridge to the Franklinton neighborhood across the Scioto River from downtown Columbus, one will soon encounter a northsouth thoroughfare called McDowell Street. This is not a story about this street in the oldest part of downtown Columbus — the part that dates to 1797. It is about one of the people who gave the street its name. To Civil War buffs, the name of Irvin McDowell will be reasonably well known. After the outbreak of what Southerners always delight in calling “the late unpleasantness” — or more to the point, the “War of Northern Aggression” — the commanding general of America’s armies had a small problem. General Winfield Scott, “Old Fuss and Feathers,” had fought his way through every conflict the United States had seen since the War of 1812. By 1861, he was old, tired and desperately in need of a combat commander. He offered the job to Robert E. Lee, in his view the best soldier in the country, but Lee turned him down — reluctantly but firmly — and fought for the South. Scott turned next to the best soldier from the ranks that he knew: Irvin McDowell. McDowell would lead the
Correction
Union Army into its first great battle, The Battle of First Manassas if you are a Southerner or the First ED Battle of Bull Run if you LENTZ are a Northerner, and lose it. He would fight on in a subordinate role with the commanding generals who would follow and end his career in the far west. But this story is not about Irvin McDowell who, after growing up here, spent little time in Columbus. This story is about his father and the McDowells who gave the street in Franklinton its name. I have been intrigued by Abram McDowell since I first came across him a number of years ago. He was one of the first people I had read about locally who did not
spell his name the same way Abraham Lincoln spelled his. As it turned out, it was the same name, and many people named their children Abram in those days. But having learned that, I was now even more interested to learn a little bit more about him and the McDowells. Abram McDowell came to central Ohio from Kentucky. He came from a large family of McDowells who had migrated into that state early in its history. His brother John Adair McDowell had come to the new community of Franklinton at the forks of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers early in its history and had become known as a frontier attorney. He was followed by one of his brothers,Abram, who came to Franklinton in 1818. A number of McDowells passed through Franklinton in those years, See AS IT WERE, page A5

AS IT WERE Continued from page A4 but John and Abram are two of the most important. John developed a successful law practice and served for a time as the Franklin County prosecuting attorney until his death at a relatively early age in 1824. After his death, Abram McDowell became the most significant member of the family in central Ohio. Moving across the river to the newly founded state capital, Abram McDowell became one of the men who made things happen in the new town. Columbus, founded in 1812 to serve as the state capital of Ohio, is a created city in the middle of the new state. Many of its residents came from the North — from communities like Worthington and its residents from Granby, Connecticut. Many more came from the South, from communities in the Virginia Military District to land set aside west of the Scioto River for Virginians who fought in the Revolution. Abram McDowell was one of the southerners. Born in 1791, the year the army of General Arthur St. Clair was virtually annihilated by Native Americans, Abram McDowell grew up in a frontier world. It was a world whose society was transplanted from colonial Virginia and whose culture and mores were
McAfee said New Albany is different than some Franklin County communities, including Gahanna and Dublin, where a city department sponsors many community events. In New Albany, nonprofit organizations or other groups sponsor most events. “Here, we rely on community volunteers to put on special events,” he said. Ferguson said the nonprofit New Albany Community Events Board was formed specifically to handle local celebrations. The community events board organizes the Fourth of July parade and celebration, SpringFest and FallFest. Ferguson said the community events board does not charge for any events it organizes. Other events, such as the New Albany Walking Classic, do have a fee for participation, which could be a consideration when giving donations back in the future, she said. Council also talked Jan. 25 about allowing alcohol at different events in the community’s public spaces. Ferguson said several events, including the Taste of New Al-

those of a people on the edge of constant warfare with Native American enemies. Abram McDowell grew up “in the saddle.” While he missed the Indian Wars of the 1790s, he rode with Kentucky mounted riflemen in many of the key engagements of the War of 1812 in the Midwest. After his arrival in Columbus, he would serve in a number of public offices including clerk of the Common Pleas Court, clerk of the Supreme Court and county recorder. For one year in 1842, he also served as mayor of Columbus. While all of these civil posts were important, Abram McDowell was most comfortable when he was leading men in uniform. He would be the second leader of the local militia mounted unit, the Franklin Dragoons, after the death of its first commander, Joseph Vance, in 1824. Abram McDowell was successful in most of the enterprises he undertook. He was successful because he was strong, energetic and well-connected with the founders of the city. But he was not always well-remembered. It is not hard to see why. A few recollections: “Mr. McDowell is still spoken of by old citizens of Columbus as a perfect specimen of the type of Kentucky gentleman of the old
school. But he was a victim of the convivial habits of those times, and though he was highly respected, his last days were not happy… He was an intense aristocrat, priding himself on his culture, his social position, his refinement, and keeping haughtily aloof from the large mass whom he held to be beneath him.” Another account described Colonel McDowell in a slightly different way: “He is represented as being a Kentucky gentleman of the old school, aristocratic in all of his notions, refined and educated, but regarded by many as haughty in his manners, and perhaps, on that very account, never acquiring wealth.” Abram Irvin McDowell died in 1844 and is buried in Green Lawn Cemetery. Perhaps learning from the experience of his father and becoming a bit more of a diplomat as well as a soldier, Irvin McDowell grew up with five siblings in the house across the river from Franklinton in what would later be downtown Columbus. The house is built high, perhaps in fear of the floods which encompassed the town across the river. Like its builder, it was a sturdy house and worthy of respect.

Follow golden rules for healthy baby teeth Protecting a child’s pearly whites comes with ease when approached with a few baby steps. However, setting off in the right direction can start sooner than one might think. Parents should take the first step in developing good habits well before the first sign of white by running a damp cloth over a baby’s gums after feedings to reduce bacterial growth. While the first-tooth milestone is an exciting one, there are some key golden rules to follow when the first teeth erupt. Offered in the spirit of National Children’s Dental Health Month and an effort to raise an awareness about the importance of good oral health, consider these tips when it comes to your babe’s precious mouth: An innovator in his field, Jeffrey L. Angart, D.D.S., has been practicing for nearly 25 years. He has conducted extensive research and lectured nationally and internationally on cosmetic materials and tooth bonding. A graduate of OSU’s College of Dentistry, he holds a Bachelor of Science in Ceramic Engineering. The Center for Dental Health is a state-of-the-art practice where patients take an active role in their oral health. Dr. Angart’s professional team utilizes leading-edge technology in a serene setting to create a relaxed and calming environment. Custom esthetic crowns and veneers are created in the Center for Dental Arts laboratory which complements the practice.
• Schedule your child’s first dental visit after the first molar appears. Please do not wait until you see a full set of teeth. A dentist can identify during the first visit if there are any problems, determine if there is a need for fluoride supplements and evaluate the impact of habits like thumb sucking. • Visit the dentist on a regular basis with your toddler to reduce fear and anxiety. A trip to the dentist is far less scary for children who are prepared and understand what to expect. • Read books about visiting the dentist with your child. The library is full of wonderful selections that specifically deal with this topic. The American Dental Association’s website, www.ada.org, also has kid-friendly information. We’ve created a special nook for children at the Center for Dental Health to create an environment that is friendly and welcoming. Making the experience positive -- and even fun -is key to starting off on the right foot.

Jugglers say hobby is worth the hard work By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers
They stand across from each other, pitching clubs back and forth at an almost hypnotic speed. Others toss bird seed-filled balls in the air, trying to keep them suspended before gravity and fatigue take their toll. Yet another one hops on a unicycle, attempting to incorporate basketballs into his routine — without falling. This is just another day in the lives of the Jest Jugglers, a group that meets each Thursday night at the Schiller Park Recreation Center in German Village. Founded in the early 1980s, the outfit is the longest-running juggling group in central Ohio, according to Owen Smith, co-director of the organization. It accepts jugglers of all coordination levels and there is no cost to join. “We do have people from all walks of life,” said Smith, a mechanical engineer who lives in Powell. His son, Evan, an exercise en-

Wes Bourne, a Johnstown resident who joined Jest Jugglers five years ago, said it took him the past 18 months to work up to five. “To me, juggling is a sport,” he said. “The more balls and patterns, the better.” Some juggling routines conjure up images of impending disaster — torches, knives, bowling balls
and chainsaws whirling about, just centimeters away from the body. Owen Smith said performers still use those instruments, but they’re not part of the group’s regular meetings at the recreation center. “I haven’t done dangerous stuff in a while,” said Smith, who has spun a number of sharp objects in the air. “Actually, juggling on the unicycle wasn’t the safest thing, either.” Indeed, dangers do exist. Matt Jergens, a professional juggler, took a club to the face at the Jan. 27 gathering.
“It hardly ever happens but when it happens, it happens to me,” the Westerville resident joked. Jergens began juggling as a senior in high school almost 20 years ago. Now, he makes a living doing it. “I practiced every day. It took a while,” he said, adding that he does about 300 shows a year. Lynn Hay, of Bexley, enjoys the countless challenges juggling presents but prefers to take things slow. “I’m happy where I am,” she said. “I don’t want to be a superstar.”

Eagles primed for sectional after OCC sweep By CORY STEGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Last season the New Albany High School boys and girls swimming and diving teams competed in the Division I postseason for the first time. Olivia Barnes, then a junior, only could watch her teammates and provide them with moral support, as her season ended prematurely after a car accident in January 2010 left her with a shattered femur in her left leg. A titanium rod was inserted in the leg and she wasn’t able to swim for four
months. Barnes is back this season, however, and has been posting some of her best times. “It took a lot of work to get back,” she said. “I’m really motivated for the sectional meet because I want to make it to district and state both as an individual and in relays.” Barnes isn’t the only Eagles swimmer looking to turn in a good performance at the sectional meet on Feb. 12 at Thomas Worthington. Coach Dave Wharton believes New Albany could see a large number of athletes on both
the boys and girls teams advance from the sectional to the district, though it won’t be easy. Only the top two qualifiers in each event automatically advance to the district meet on Feb. 19 at Ohio State. In addition, there are 26 at-large district berths per event based on the times from the two Central District sectional sites, the East District sectional site and the Southeast District sectional site. “They can’t leave anything on the table there because they may not get another chance,” Wharton said. “We
make that real clear to them. Knowing that it could be their last meet of the season, we’re hoping that energizes them.” As the Eagles prepared for the OCCCapital Division championships held Jan. 27 and 29 at New Albany, most of them weren’t sure which events they would be swimming at the sectional. The relay lineups had yet to be determined as well, with Wharton having to select from as many as six swimmers for each of the relays. Wharton said he might not determine the relay lineups until the day of the meet, the last
day in which the lineups can be submitted. “We have a good shot on improving upon our position from last year and really making a statement for the district meet,” senior David Huddle said. As for the two weeks between the league and sectional meets, Wharton said that time will be spent tapering and fine-tuning. He feels confident that the work done thus far this season has the Eagles well-prepared for the postseason. See SWIM, page B3

Eagles aim for second in OCC
New Albany closing in on OCC title By KURTIS ADAMS
By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Although a 50-34 home loss to Olentangy Orange on Jan. 28 meant the New Albany High School girls basketball team couldn’t repeat as OCC-Capital Division champions, it’s not all about the postseason yet for the Eagles. New Albany still has some things it wants to accomplish with league games remaining against Franklin Heights, Hilliard Bradley and Big Walnut. “We know we’re out of the league race, but we’re concentrating on Hilliard Bradley and Big Walnut,” coach Jamie Puryear said. “Finishing runner-up in the league is very important to us. My three years here we’ve never finished lower than second and we’re not about to just give it away now.” Actually, New Albany never has finished lower than second since joining the OCC-Capital the year before Puryear was hired. The Orange loss dropped New Albany to third in the OCC-Capital at 7-3. The Eagles and Big Walnut are tied for third behind Orange (11-0) and Bradley (8-2). The Eagles play Bradley at home on Saturday, Feb. 5, in a game that was postponed on Jan. 20 because of bad weather. The Eagles already have beaten Bradley this season, 48-47 on Dec. 7. Bradley improved to 12-3 overall by beating Big Walnut 43-28 on Jan. 27. The win was Bradley’s fourth in a row. Before the originally scheduled game, Puryear said he felt comfortable with the matchup against Bradley because of the similarities between the teams. Like New Albany, the Jaguars are a perimeter-oriented team. Their starting lineup features four guards and one post player. However, the Eagles are starting to play better against teams that have bigger post players. That was what Puryear said he took out of the game against Orange.

The New Albany High School boys basketball team continues to win all the right games. Despite dropping two nonleague games since Jan. 22, the Eagles are 10-0 to lead the OCCCapital Division following a 6055 victory Jan. 28 at Olentangy Orange. They lost 51-49 to Pickerington North the next night to slip to 12-2 overall. “We’re in a good place,” coach Sam Davis said. The Eagles have a three-game lead in the OCC-Capital with four games remaining. They can clinch at least a share of the title by defeating Franklin Heights on Friday, Feb. 4. Orange, Mount Vernon and Delaware all share second place at 7-3. “I’m not surprised; we knew we had a great chance to win the league this year,” senior forward Nick Sosh said. “Being in this situation isn’t surprising at all, really, but we still have a lot to play for. We want to go undefeated in the OCC. That’s our goal.” New Albany also plays at Big Walnut on Tuesday, Feb. 8. The final league games are at home against Delaware on Feb. 11 and at Mount Vernon on Feb. 18. The Eagles scored just 15 firsthalf points while defeating Big Walnut 39-35 on Jan. 3. That was one of their three OCC-Capital wins by five or fewer points, which included a 50-45 firstround victory over Orange on Dec. 17. “I keep telling the boys noth-

GIRLS Continued from page B1 It was Orange’s outside shooting in the second half that made the difference. “The thing is we gameplanned them to try to minimize the touches for the big kids, hoping their outside shooting would be off,” Puryear said. “They were missing in the first half. They made some slight adjustments at halftime. You could tell.” Orange made seven 3-pointers, with Kristina Myers making three and scoring 13 points. Madi Miller led New Albany with 15 points and sparked a third-quarter run that pulled the Eagles to 33-31 after trailing 24-16 at halftime. Orange outscored New Albany 17-4 in the fourth quarter.
New Albany plays Big Walnut at home on Tuesday, Feb. 8. The Eagles fell to Big Walnut 43-32 on Jan. 3. Miller scored 13 points in that game, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a third quarter in which New Albany scored five points. Tabatha Piper led Big Walnut with 17 points. Big Walnut’s loss to Bradley on Jan. 27 dropped it to 11-4 overall. With the district tournament draw on Sunday, Feb. 6, the game against Franklin Heights on Friday, Feb. 4, will be the last chance for New Albany to bolster its record before the Central District coaches vote on seeding. The Eagles were seeded seventh last season when they were in position to win the OCC-Capital title. Puryear said he expects his
team to be anywhere from 12th to 20th this season. The seed voting is due before the Eagles play host to Bradley, but a win over the Jaguars could affect how others view New Albany at the tournament draw. “(The Bradley game) is a huge game for us,” Puryear said. “If we gave the effort we gave (against Orange), we’ll be OK. “We’ll be in that game. We just have to compete for four quarters. This is a big week for us.”
Just when things got sticky for the Upper Arlington High School boys basketball team on Jan. 28 against Hilliard Darby, the Golden Bears switched gears. UA had its lead cut to four midway through the third quarter then turned up the defensive pressure for easy transition baskets en route to a 54-36 victory. The Bears won their 34th consecutive regularseason game and improved to 15-0 with a 58-50 win over Watterson on Jan. 31. Just like last year, UA looks to be one of four area teams that could finish unbeaten in the regular season. UA was joined by Gahanna, Northland and Westerville South as teams entering the Division I postseason undefeated last year. Those same four teams seem headed for a similar February finish. Gahanna improved to 16-0 after beating Pickerington Central 56-37 on Jan. 28. Northland was 14-0 before playing Linden-McKinley on Feb. 1. South was 15-0 after defeating Dublin Jerome 74-50 on Jan. 28. Despite their continued success, only UA and South had a strong nucleus returning. Northland and Gahanna had to reload to continue their dominance. Gahanna has won 44 consecutive regular-season games, and senior Stevie Taylor has been a major key to the success at point guard. The Ohio University signee is the only starter back from last season’s 62-50 state semifinal loss to Massillon Jackson. Northland was the top-rated team in the country last season when it lost to Gahanna 71-45 in a regional final. The Vikings lost, among others Jared Sullinger and J.D. Weatherspoon, both of whom are freshmen at Ohio State. But Northland returned a top-flight senior point guard in Trey Burke, a Michigan signee, to help the Vikings jump to 24th in last week’s MaxPreps national poll behind top-rated Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick. The Vikings won their 40th consecutive regular-season game on Jan. 29 with a 74-60 victory over host Logan (W.Va.). South and UA pretty much returned their core groups from last season and haven’t missed a beat. Led by Miami University signee Brian Sullivan, the Golden Bears lost to OCC-Central nemesis Dublin Coffman 50-48 in a district semifinal last year after defeating the Shamrocks twice during the regular season (64-58 and 65-62). They finished 20-1. Coffman looms large on the horizon for UA, with the teams set to meet again Feb. 18 at UA. The Golden Bears won 53-52 on Jan. 14. South finished 22-1 last season after falling
to Marion-Franklin 66-57 in a district semifinal. The Wildcats brought back most of their firepower, including Traevon Jackson, a Wisconsin signee and the son of former NBA and Ohio State player Jim Jackson. The Wildcats have won 40 SCOTT consecutive games in the regHENNEN ular season. They have a possible stumbling block ahead in Westerville North on Tuesday, Feb. 8. The Warriors took their rivals to overtime but lost to South 77-73 on Jan. 4. Still, the next meeting will be at South. At first glance, Gahanna and Northland seem to have smooth sailing to unbeaten regular seasons. But things are rarely that simple with 15to 18-year-olds taking the court. Gahanna’s biggest test may be Friday, Feb. 4, at Pickerington North, which is 14-1. The Panthers’ lone loss was a 61-41 setback at Gahanna on Dec. 22. The Vikings may have their toughest tests this weekend. On Friday, Feb. 4, they play at home against Brookhaven, a team they edged 43-41 on Jan. 11. One day later, they travel to perennial state power Lakewood St. Edward, which was 12-4 after defeating Mentor Lake Catholic 9363 on Jan. 29. Speaking of state powers, the area foursome has the attention of poll voters. In last week’s state poll, Gahanna was second behind Cincinnati Moeller, Northland was third and South was tied for fourth with Cincinnati La Salle. UA received no mention statewide, but was fourth in last week’s area coaches poll behind Gahanna, Northland and South. And just more than a week away — Sunday, Feb. 13 — the Central District drawing takes place at Olentangy Liberty. Last year, Northland was the top seed followed by Gahanna, South and UA. Coffman was fifth. Right now, Gahanna likely would be the top seed, followed by Northland, South and UA, but that’s only a guess. There is still a week of basketball to play before the seeding deadline on Friday, Feb. 11, and it might be foolish to bet against any of these teams losing before then. Teams like these four powerhouses know how to win, and find ways to win. That is why the Fairgrounds Coliseum is always packed on the Saturdays featuring the Division I district semifinals and finals. It’s basketball at its best with teams that refuse to lose. shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

SWIM Continued from page B1 “The focus is on rest, working on detailed stuff like turns, starts, relay exchanges, that type of thing,” Wharton said. “If they haven’t done it at this point, there’s nothing else they can do. Hopefully we don’t have to worry about anybody getting sick.” Both the boys and girls teams defended their OCC-Capital titles. The boys team scored 432 points to finish well ahead of runner-up Delaware (285) as well as Mount Vernon (166), Olentangy Orange (119), Watkins Memorial (74), Big Walnut (60) and Hilliard Bradley (42). Huddle won the 200-yard freestyle (1 minute, 48.77 seconds) and 100 butterfly (56.39), Alfonso won the 50 free (22.19)
The girls team scored 343 points to finish ahead of Delaware (268), Orange (174), Mount Vernon (155), Bradley (114), Big Walnut (112) and Watkins Memorial (98).

New Albany also won the 200 free relay (1:45.23) and 400 free relay (3:48.24). For Alfonso, the league meet represents a final tune-up before the sectional. “Right now before we start tapering, the times don’t have to be the best,” he said. “We want to get the stroke right. It’s just another good practice meet for us so that we can get ready for the postseason.”

“On paper, Granville should win,” Yakscoe said. “They have a really solid team, but if we go by that, what’s the point of having the meet. That’s the excitement of competition. That’s what it’s all about, that’s the fun part, so let’s go and swim our best and let the pieces fall Continued from page B1 Cullough was fouled on an inbounds play. where they fall.

1 Umphrey’s McGee key-
boardist Joel Cummins told The Beat a couple years back that the band writes new material for every show. “We start with something we might have worked out backstage and just start throwing visual cues back and forth. Sometimes we come up with some pretty good stuff.” So, yeah, the Chicago sextet is a jam-band, but less trippy and meandering and more driving and dramatic. The Beat has referred to them as the musical test-tube baby of the Dixie Dregs and King Crimson. Another writer called them “improg.” Nice. Umphrey’s McGee plays Lifestyle Communities Pavilion, with opener Orchid Lounge, Friday, Feb. 4. Tickets are $20/$25. Call 1-800-745-3000.

The program includes Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 11 (The Year 1905). Tickets are $20.50-$66.50. Call (614) 228-8600.

tion new-grass outfit Greensky Bluegrass takes standard bluegrass instrumentation and turns it inside out. Well, not in the literal sense, more in the “this ain’t yer granddad’s bluegrass” sense — fresh, creative acoustic music played with serious chops. A seemingly perpetual touring schedule sees the quintet back in central Ohio for a Sunday, Feb. 6, show at Woodlands Tavern. Highlighting the tour is the availability of the tour-only All Access Vol.

translates no better performed live than spun by a DJ. After all, it’s not made for consumption as much as participation. Swedish pop star Robyn tackles this preconception by entering whirling dervish mode upon taking the stage and not stopping until everyone — herself, her backing band and her audience — has been moved as much as they have moved. Robyn released three records in 2010, and has taken to the road, with support from Diamond Rings and Natalia Kills. The tour stops at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Tuesday, Feb. 8. Tickets are $15. Call 1-800-7453000.
BONUS: The Jefferson Academy of Music concert series, newly christened the Jefferson Signature Series, returns to the Columbus Museum of Art Sunday, Feb. 6. Recently completed renovations at the CMA included the already well-thought-of auditorium. Improved leg room and sight lines and the restoration of the hall’s grand piano will have a positive impact on the concert experience, the Jefferson’s Ruth Haddock said. The Lincoln Trio will perform selections by Mozart, Smetana and others in the afternoon concert. Tickets are $10/$18/$25. Call (614) 292-2693.

Lemongrass Fusion Cuisine is a Short North classic The story of Lemongrass Fusion Cuisine says a lot about Columbus. Once a brash and hot new dining star in the explosively growing constellation of Short North restaurants, about a dozen years later it has the status of a mature establishment that can even be taken for granted. That’s what I was thinking recently as I trekked back into Lemongrass’ heart-of-it-all digs. Having not been in a while, I wondered if the place would feel lively and fun again or simply outdated. At first glance, not a heck of a lot seemed different. Those same autographed entryway photographs of Michael Moore and Viggo Mortensen from Lemongrass’s glam-slamming earlier days were still hanging opposite its kicky little bar. And the restaurant proper had retained its theatrical look and
MENU by G.A. Benton vibe. So there’s the stage-like, trendily distressed wooden plank flooring, rainbow sherbet colored walls, a soaring ceiling, low and pleasant lighting and even a few little roofed dining niches bounded by gauzy curtains. This dramatic setting naturally attracts a classic, non-conformist Short North-type crowd. Lemongrass’ food is as flagrantly off-center as its freewheeling patrons and setting. Basically it’s a lot of Thai accents merging with Mediterranean sensibilities. For instance, the alluring Lemongrass Soup with vegetables

($4) was like a compelling collision of minestrone and Tom Yum soups. A light and brightly citric broth with chili, fish sauce and lemongrass notes was filled with pasta shells and firm veggies like carrot, mushroom and zucchini. An unusual, but pretty and pleasing Eurasian Salad ($7) combined
shredded cheese with crispy Asian noodles, toasted almonds, pineapple, mandarin oranges and fresh greens. I liked its crunch and the way its unexpected tamarind-forward Worcestershire sauce-y dressing played off the fruit. Lemongrass’ huge menu includes lots of sushi, like the justifiably popular Lemongrass Roll ($12). With silky swaths of salmon and sweet BBQ eel draped over an inside-out spicy tuna roll accompanied by zingy sauces and garnishes, it managed to be delicious, fun and colorful without sounding too many bells and whistles. Ditto for the excellent Pad Thai with Tofu ($12). I was especially fond of its healthier than usual wealth of multi-hued vegetables and lack of grease. More one-note tasting was the Monsoon Shrimp ($16). It wasn’t

I would’ve liked its hints of chili and lemongrass to have been cranked up to balance out its milky sweetness. A more-interesting coconut milk dish was the Hawaiian Duck ($19). Italy met Asia on a veggie- and fruit-heavy plate of pasta with big chunks of delicious — but not
crispy-skinned — duck. Seared Cajun Scallops ($19) were pretty terrific. A generous load of zesty spice-coated shellfish was beautifully browned and wonderful tasting. Sure, Lemongrass’ ’90s-era cocktails don’t excite and its large wine list contains many smart “best buy” selections that no longer are. And yeah, a dessert like Fried Plantains (with upscale ice cream bar slices) is more fun than memorable. But Lemongrass is still a fun, lively and intriguing eatery. If it’s considered “just another Columbus restaurant,” that only speaks volumes about our modern and great-eating city. To read G.A. Benton’s blog visit ColumbusDiningGuide.com.
Clintonville readies for servings of Polish comfort food Unlike cities in northern Ohio, Columbus isn’t known for its large ethnic neighborhoods. Dennis Bennett said he doesn’t think that places Babushka’s Kitchen at a disadvantage. “What Columbus lacks in heritage it makes up in its foodiness,” said Bennett, who, with his wife, Jacky, will open the Polish restaurant sometime in the next few weeks in Clintonville. The restaurant will take over the old Scottie MacBean location at 4675 N. High St. The signature dish is the pierogi, which comes in five varieties: potato; potato and cheese; potato, cheese and bacon; mushroom and swiss; and roasted sauerkraut.
It’s made in-house and prepared in classic fashion: Boiled and then pan-fried with onions and butter and served with sour cream. Custom orders are accepted for carryout but must be made 24 hours in advance. Other ethnic favorites include kielbasa, made by a producer in Cleveland using Babushka’s special blend of spices; kolachky, folded pastry lined with fruit or cheese; and golabki, stuffed cabbage. Babushka’s offers counter-order service in a casual environment that seats 112. Reservations are

Dennis Bennett and his wife, Jacky, are opening Babushka’s Kitchen at 4675 N. High St. The restaurant, which will open in the former Scottie MacBean site, will offer traditional Polish fare.
not accepted and no alcohol is served. The restaurant was founded by Jacky’s parents, Dave and Nancy Abramowski, who opened the first Babushka’s near Akron. A third one is planned for Independence in the Cleveland area. Jacky will keep her job as director of conferences for The Ohio State University Alumni Association, while also pitching in at the restaurant. Her husband, meanwhile, will leave his job as culture coach for Campus Dining Services at OSU to run Babushka’s. Lack of on-site parking struck a nerve with Scottie MacBean’s immediate neighbors. Adding to their aggravation, the coffee shop’s ownership sought a liquor license, which was defeated by voters in the precinct. The Bennetts said additional parking can be found at Beechwold Custom Jewelry, located a few blocks south. Also, they said they have no interest in seeking a liquor license. Jennifer Kangus, the area’s representative to the Clintonville Area Commission, said she’s in a wait-and-see mode with the restaurant, as no one has yet raised an issue about parking. “Parking is always a concern in Clintonville,” she said. “It’s one of our universal themes. It always seems to come up. I’d like to see how things go and hopefully it will work out for the best.” Babushka’s will be open for lunch and dinner five days a week, lunch only on Sunday and closed Monday. For more information, call 614-4479120. Melissa Worthington, a former banker and current nurse, has a new challenge: Cupcakes. Worthington and business partner Briana Irby, also a nurse at the OSU Medical Center, have opened Blue Frost Cupcake in Downtown Worthington. It’s another in a long line of independent cupcake shops that have dotted the central
Ohio map. Worthington said she hopes to differentiate her shop with quality ingredients – Madagascar bourbon vanilla, Saigon cinnamon and Callebaut chocolate, to name a few – and flavor. For video on this story, go to www.ThisWeekNews.com. Presentation and taste are equal, she contends. “We wanted something that tasted as good as it looked,” she said. Blue Frost, 657 High St., offers 10 permanent flavors, plus two daily specials, such as the lemon chiffon, which uses scratch-made lemon curd. Cupcakes are $2.50 each, $1.50 for minis. There’s a small amount of seating inside and a few beverages, such as coffee and tea. The bakery is open six days a week, closed Monday. For more information, call 614-844-4850.
