AEP puts Lane Ave. project on hold By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A closer look

The orange barrels along Lane Avenue in Upper Arlington came down earlier than expected, but not because the work has been completed. American Electric Power (AEP) halted construction Jan 27 after citing safety concerns for workers on this section of the transmission line installation project from Roberts Road to Ohio State University. “Motorists were traveling at speeds of 45 miles per hour in the 35 mph zone,” said Faye White, AEP Ohio spokesperson. White also said that some of the

American Electric Power (AEP) halted construction Jan 27 after citing safety concerns for workers on this section of the transmission line installation project from Roberts Road to Ohio State University.

construction equipment was larger than expected, making it difficult to safely operate with only two lanes of traffic closed. “I haven’t heard about any speeding

incidents,” assistant city manager Joe Valentino told ThisWeek Jan. 28. “During planning we offered to file the paperwork to reduce the speed limit to 25 mph but were told by the contractor it wasn’t necessary.” Valentino said the plan since July 2009 was for two lanes to be closed AEP agreed to that plan. The city won’t agree to shut down Lane Avenue, he said. “We’re going to have to have three lanes closed to do the work,” said Vikki Michalski, another AEP Ohio spokesperson. “Anytime we have a safety concern we take a step back and rework the plan.” The city agrees that safety is impor-

tant. Deputy city manager Emma Speight said the city’s prime concerns are safety, taking care of the residents’needs and completing this project on time. “Everyone involved has to agree” to accomplish those goals, Speight said. “It could be a couple of weeks to approve new plans and in the meantime Lane Avenue needs to be temporarily restored to full use during the work stoppage.” Michalski confirmed that AEP would work with the city to return the road to full usage and that any costs associated with these changes will be paid for by the company as a part of the project. Both Michalski and Speight said that

the organizations will continue to work together in good faith to complete the project. AEP began work on Monday to revise the project plan, but has not provided a new timeline for the Upper Arlington work. “At this time the plan is to still have the project done on time, with all of the project work completed by the end of year,” Michalski said. According to project documents, the Upper Arlington portion of the cabling project is to be completed by June, with the resurfacing of Lane Avenue to be done by late summer. www.ThisWeekNews.com

Estate tax elimination would be big loss for UA By CHRIS BOURNEA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Watershed Distillery founder Greg Lehman became interested in the idea of producing craft alcohol while playing volleyball professionally in Switzerland, where the town’s economy thrived on small-scale local production. The distillery began selling its gin and vodka in December and is aging barrels of bourbon that will be ready for consumption in 2013.

A new Tri-Village area business is bringing back the craft of micro-distilling. Last month, Watershed Distillery’s gin and vodka went on sale at stores, restaurants and bars around central Ohio. Being part of a community is a big reason he and his partner decided to go into the distilling business, Watershed founder and head distiller Greg Lehman said. “It’s getting involved in

The elimination of the estate tax would have a devastating effect on Upper Arlington, city officials say. The Ohio General Assembly is currently considering House Bill 3, which would do away with the estate tax. Currently, Ohio imposes a 6-percent tax on estates that exceed $338,333 and a 7-percent tax on estates that exceed $500,000. While some municipalities receive estate-tax revenues so inconsistently that they don’t even include them in their annual budgets, Upper Arlington isn’t one of them, said finance director Cathe Armstrong. The estate tax has brought in an average of $3.6-million a year, or 12.7 percent of the city’s budget for the past five years, Armstrong said. In 2010 alone, the city received estate tax in the amount of $4.8-million. The city sets aside at least $2million of the estate tax each year for capital improvements, Armstrong said. “We, in recent years, have had some major projects along major thoroughfares,” she said. “We have a $40-million capital plan over the next five years.” Upper Arlington is a member of the Ohio Municipal League, which is trying to persuade the legislature to reconsider or at least delay the elimination of the es-

tate tax. “We have had discussions with other communities,” Armstrong said. “They identified us as one of the cities that stand to lose the most, along with some townships. “It’s the wrong time, too much too soon, to eliminate that much of our budget without having a replacement,” she said. “We know it’s an unpopular tax. It’s not our stance that it’s a good tax… but please don’t eliminate it today without giving us time to make some adjustments.” Council president Frank Ciotola said he’s long been opposed to the estate tax. “It’s an unfair tax,” he said. “You have to wait for someone to die to tax money that’s already been taxed.” Ciotola said he realizes, however, that the estate tax makes up a significant portion of the city’s budget and that its elimination will force him and other city ofSee ESTATE TAX, page A3

Community center comes up in ‘conversation’ on city facilities By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers When about 30 participants in a public “conversation” Jan. 27 discussed the facility options they’d like to see as part of the city’s revised master plan, an idea from the past was back on the table: a community center. The conversation was hosted by Upper Arlington City Council’s community facilities and services committee, chaired by council member Debbie Johnson. The committee is reviewing the 17 master plan facilities objectives adopted in 2001. The master plan is required to be reviewed every 10 years. Assistant city manager Joe Valentino and parks and recreation director Tim Moloney reviewed the current inventory of green space, schools, city buildings, nonprofit and for-profit meeting spaces

with the participants. Moloney also highlighted upcoming facilities like the skate park and volleyball courts planned for Reed Road as well as the Amelita Mirolo Barn at Sunny 95 Park. Participants were then asked Tim to name current or desired faMoloney cilities they would like to have in-depth conversations about for the remainder of the evening. The audience listed Tremont pool, Northam Park, the Senior Center, an indoor play space, a community center, Miller Park, a public square, street and traffic amenities and the old Coach Road fire station, which is being used by the Parks and Recreation Department and has been dubbed the “recreation station.”

Four groups were formed to discuss the ideas. Valentino instructed each group to record comments made during the discussions and report their ideas to the larger group. The largest breakout group discussed the recreation station Joe and a possible community cenValentino ter and indoor play area. After reviewing several options for the space, the majority said they would like a multi-generational, possibly multi-jurisdictional, community center — one they compared to the Worthington Recreation Center. Group members said they believe the recreation station should be used for programming asis until a community center can be developed, and then it should be razed for public green-space.

“I know I drive 10 miles, but I love the feel of the Worthington rec center, which is why I’m a member,” resident Erin Shumacher said. “I want that here.” The second largest group discussed facilities linked to Northam Park, particularly the Senior Center. Several of the participants — current members of the center — said the facility needs better handicapped accessibility on all sides of the buildings and better upkeep. Three furnaces have failed so far this winter, they said. In the future, they said they would like a large complex to be built to host multiple generations of residents, including senior programming, and an indoor pool to replace the Tremont Pool. “I find it interesting how two separate groups talking about two separate things came to the See CENTER, page A3

Coaches help students, staff to develop skills By KATE HETRICK ThisWeek Community Newspapers Around this time last year, an Upper Arlington school advisory council was still in the process of defining the district’s 21st century skills. “It is really hard to believe that last year we were sitting in a room with Ken Kay, trying to figure out what our 21st century skills ought to be,” said associate superintendent Dr. Debora Binkley. “We had not even confirmed them at this time last year.” Kay is a national figure in 21st century education and serves as an active partner in UA’s initiative. “I’m amazed at the progress we have made in the last year or so,” Binkley said. The district adopted six 21st century skills in August 2010: complex thinking; self-directed learning; creative thinking and innovation; collaboration; communication; and global citizenry. Staff members are actively working to implement 21st century learning in every classroom with the help of the district’s six 21st century skill integration coaches. They are Martha Barley, Jeanne Beaver, Jeff Elliott, Toby Fischer,Andrea Lusk and Alexa Stazenski. “In our position, we work at the district level to plan and facilitate professional development, and we also work in

the schools collaborating with teachers to plan, co-teach and assess units that incorporate 21st century learning and technologies,” Beaver said. Each of the coaches has a primary assignment at one or two of UA’s schools, but Binkley said “they all go to each other’s schools and help out, depending on where their expertise is and what the needs are.” The integration coaches gave a presentation at a Jan. 24 workshop meeting, updating Board of Education members on how UA students and teachers are becoming 21st century learners.

“What we are finding is that children are revisiting their work and so teachers are revisiting their own work and their students’work, which is very exciting to us,” Barley said. “We’re focusing more on the process. The product is important, but we’re looking at how they’re getting to the end product.” Student and staff reflection is a key component of complex thinking, which is the focus of the first two years of the 21st century learning initiative. A group of 16 elementary, middle and high school teachers worked with the integration coaches to write a complex thinking rubric this summer. Another attribute of complex thinking is the ability to define essential questions. The first graders in Ashley Stechschulte’s classroom at Barrington Elementary School guided their learning on insects by asking, “How do we know if something is an insect?” To reflect on their learning, students created a song. “Head, shoulders, knees and toes” became “head, thorax, abdomen.” “Kids are producing a product,” said superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Weaver. “Something tangible they can share with parents and grandparents.” Eighth-grade students are working with the integration coaches to create Wiki-

spaces in preparation for a spring trip to Washington, D.C. The wikis function like a “digital scrapbook,” said Elliott, who is working on the project with students at Jones Middle School. “They can upload links to sites like the White House and save files, like a thank you letter they wrote in language arts to a veteran of a foreign war on Veteran’s Day,” Elliott said. “When they travel to D.C. they’ll be blogging, filming and podcasting about their learning and uploading their student work and student films to their wiki page.” Binkley said some students are “reluctant to have their voices heard orally,” but through digital technology like blogs and wikis, “they suddenly become verbose.” Elliott said he recently ran into the mother of a Jones student, who reported that her son was “so excited” about his Wikispace and was on it all the time, even at home. To help facilitate the use of technology like Wikispaces, the integration coaches have created a professional development opportunity known as C4T, short for “Computers for Teachers.” The program offers 60 hours of professional development for participating teachers. The focus of C4T is on the “adult as the learner,” said Fischer. Through C4T, teachers create three units infused with

technology and 21st century skills. Integration coaches help teachers acquire the technological skills required to create wikis, blogs and podcasts. The teachers are then able to transfer their knowledge to the students. “The C4T program in general is probably the most transformational professional development I have been a part of in the nine years I’ve been delivering professional development,” Fischer said. Binkley said other schools are looking to Upper Arlington for guidance in implementing 21st century learning. “Because of the work of the six coaches, and the foresight of the board to approve those positions, we are one of the few districts in the country that has these positions,” she said. “As a result of that, we are sometimes sought after…tenaciously sought after…by others asking us to share our stories.” The next steps of the 21st century initiative include a districtwide rollout of the complex thinking rubric, to take place at the beginning of the 2011-12 school year. The integration coaches will work with teachers and administrators to write rubrics for the five additional 21st century skills during the second semester of next year, Binkley said. khetrick@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

ESTATE TAX Continued from page A1 ficials to increase revenue and/or make cuts. “I think it’s going to have to be a combination of additional cuts, promoting economic development, (finding) new revenue sources,” Ciotola said. “If there’s a shortfall, we’ll have to look at additional revenue sources.” Wade Steen, chairman of council’s finance committee, said he’s also philosophically opposed to the estate tax but is well aware that its elimination would have a dramatic impact on Upper Arlington. “It’s my sense that it’s going to go away and we need to start planning for that,” Steen said. Examining current and potential revenue sources will be the topic of the finance committee’s Feb. 16 meeting, Steen said. The city will also have to consider cutting services if the estate tax goes away, he added. “As you lose revenue, you can change the services you provide and the way you provide them,” he said. The city should focus on finding alternate revenue sources rather than cutting services if the estate tax is eliminated, said council member Debbie Johnson. “On the local level, the serv-

ices we provide are very visible. You still need your trash picked up… Most of our budget is (for) fire and police,” she said. “We really need to get creative with our budget and look for those revenue sources. The last thing I want to do is raise taxes.” Council vice president Mary Ann Krauss said the city would have to consider a combination of finding additional revenue sources and reducing services if the estate tax is eliminated. “I feel very strongly that this is not the right time,” Krauss said. “Every municipality is struggling. Let us get on top of things, if that is the ultimate decision of the legislature.” Eliminating the estate tax would be an added blow to communities that are still working to recover from the recession, Armstrong said. “We haven’t regained our level of income tax from 2008,” she said. City officials are continuing to monitor the situation through the Municipal League and by attending Statehouse hearings on House Bill 3. “We’re going to have to really make some tough decisions,” Johnson said. “It’s not going to get easier.” www.ThisWeekNews.com

Continued from page A1 Continued from page A1 same conclusion,” said resident Mike Dury, who participated in the Northam Park group. The street facilities discussion focused on a need for more roundabouts or four-way stops due to problems triggering stoplights; a desire to see better maintenance on currently installed sidewalks and roads; and a central public square that is available for petitioning residents about issues. Discussion about Miller Park focused on eliminating insect infestations after heavy rains, as well as the problem of tree stumps. Residents Patricia Jay and Joan Dury agreed that this meeting was a good way of giving input. “This was an excellent format to explore the community’s needs,” Dury said. The spring forum for this committee will be announced in the coming months, Johnson said. www.ThisWeekNews.com

his day job to commit to the distillery business. Watershed operates out of a small store front on Chesapeake Avenue, using a 60-gallon custom built still to make its gin and vodka. Lehman and his partner do all of the bottling, corking and labeling themselves, even handwriting the batch number on each bottle. “There’s a lot of care and hand touch in each batch we make,” he said. “We can do about 100 cases in a week.” An Upper Arlington resident, Lehman said he was inspired to enter the distilling business when he was playing professional volleyball in Appenzell, Switzerland, after graduating from Ohio State. “I was impressed by the amount of local products made there in the town,” he said. “There were Appenzell cheese, Appenzell beer, even Appenzell train cars. “It made me want to look at ways of being involved in the community” when he returned to central Ohio, Lehman said. The process of gaining state approval to make and sell liquor was long, and required Lehman

and his partner to come up with a marketing and business plan as well as a product that would pass muster with the state. “There is a finite amount of alcoholic high proof spirits allowed to be made and sold in Ohio” he said. “They just don’t let anyone do it. You have to meet their standards” including quality of product.” Watershed’s 88 proof gin features a blend of eight botanicals, including juniper and coriander, that also includes a combination of citrus peel, Lehman said. The 80 proof vodka is made of 100 percent corn grown in the midwest. Both products are sold in 750 ml bottles. The gin costs $27.90 per bottle and the vodka retails for $24.40. “We wanted to make it high quality but at the same time price it to make it as accessible as possible,” Lehman said. Late last month, Watershed also filled its first barrel of bourbon, but the product won’t be ready for sale until 2013. The bourbon is comprised of 60 percent corn and 40 percent wheat. “It’s a risk, because we won’t know if the bourbon turned out right until it’s time to bottle,” he said. “It’s a slow process and it’s kind of nerve-wracking.”

Lehman said he believes Watershed’s bourbon will be the first made in central Ohio since before prohibition. “Ohio used to be one of the top bourbon-making states,” he said. “We wanted to tie back into the great distilling history of Ohio by creating our own bourbon. It’s exciting.” Along with 30-something outlets around central Ohio, Watershed will also begin selling its products at 38 locations in the Cleveland area next week. A map showing its central Ohio outlets is available at Watershed’s website, www.watersheddistillery.com. Lehman said tours of the distillery can be arranged by e-mailing him at greg@watersheddistillery.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. Unfortunately, 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 614-525CLARENCE HOME (4663) to speak to a MINGO II 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 advantage of the opportunity to meet with us to discuss that value in the fall of 2011. Pay attention, be watchful, and take advantage of the opportunities to converse with us about values. We will be happy to answer all of your questions. Clarence E. Mingo II is Franklin County auditor.

‘Let’s Speak English’ aims Craft museum exhibitions to help non-native speakers spotlight big, small chairs By GARY BUDZAK

the non-immigrant population,” learn when you’re studying Eng- By ALAN FROMAN

ThisWeek Community Newspapers said Rhoda Simon, who teach- lish formally, and it’s kind of ThisWeek Community Newspapers

English is being studied twice a day on Mondays in the downstairs meeting room of the Lane Road Branch Library. “Let’s Speak English” is held at 1 and 6:30 p.m. Mondays. At this week’s 1 p.m. class, a handful of students broke up into three groups based on their proficiency. Tutors had the students read aloud handouts of printed text, answer questions based on what they read, explained how words like “render” had multiple meanings. They dissected the expression, “Nothing is certain but death and taxes.” The tutors’tools included dictionaries, magic markers and whiteboards. The atmosphere was casual, and the students, from Asian and Middle Eastern nations, were eager to learn. “We have a significant Asian population here in Arlington and this Tri-Village area community, and we want to be responsive to their needs and provide cultural and educational learning experiences,” said Ruth McNeil, community relations manager for the Upper Arlington Public Library. “This program is primarily for

es the most advanced students and leads the volunteer tutors. “These are people who are here because of Honda in Marysville or Ohio State University. “They’re spouses of visiting scholars,” she said. “We have mostly women and occasionally men. Sometimes we have older people who are visiting their children.” “It just gives people a chance to practice their English,” said Pam Cole, adult program coordinator for the Lane Road branch. “There are a lot of people that come to the library and they say that their English isn’t very good, but in fact they know quite a lot. They just need an environment where they can feel comfortable practicing speaking.” Cole said “Let’s Speak English” was initially a partnership with the Columbus Literacy Council, but it’s now run by volunteers experienced in teaching English as a Second Language. “People can come and go as they please,” Cole said of the students. “It’s an informal conversation group, and they talk about different holidays and the seasons, things of local interest. There are colloquialisms or idioms that you don’t necessarily

helpful to learn that in the area where you’re living.” Although the winter weather has reduced attendance, people attend the “Let’s Speak English” sessions largely through word of mouth. Some of the classmates form friendships, Simon said. Now in her seventh year of teaching the class, Simon said she can relate to the students. “I know what it’s like to live in another country and need to learn the language,” Simon said. “I’ve done that twice. I’ve lived in Iran and India.” When she returned to the United States, Simon said she taught in public schools, Columbus State, Honda, teaches privately and tutors at International Neighborhood Coffee Hour at University Baptist Church on West Lane Avenue. She enjoys being an ESL teacher. “You feel like you’re doing something to teach people about the good things in your culture,” Simon said. “We want them to go back to their countries with a really positive spin on American culture.” For more information, call 614-459-0273. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The Ohio Craft Museum’s upcoming exhibitions will spotlight chairs — both full-size and miniature. The exhibitions, “The Texas Chair Project by Damien Priour” and “Artful Chairs” will both open Sunday, Feb. 6, and run through March 27. “We’ve always wanted to do a furniture exhibit, but full-size furniture is difficult to obtain and given our space limitations we’d only be able to show a few fullsize pieces,” said Betty Talbott, museum/artistic director. “We came up with the idea of showing both full-size chairs and the miniature chairs in ‘The Texas Chair Project.’” “Artful Chairs” features fullsize chair forms created by six Midwest artists — Michael Bendele, Robert Gartka and Kathie Johnson, Chris Lang, Stephen Litchfield and Tom Loeser. “We have a felted chair, painted chairs, metal and wooden chairs and even one made out of twigs,” Talbott said. “The exhibit also features a chair that is a duplicate of the ‘Tin Can’ style made in the 1920s.” “The Texas Chair Project” was coordinated by Priour, an Austinbased artist, and shown in muse-

ums around Texas, she said. The project features miniature interpretations of chairs created by 80 artists in a variety of media. “The only requirement was that they be able to fit in an 8x8x8-inch box,” Talbott said. “There’s just about every medium you can think of represented. You name it. Everything from wood, metal and plastic. There’s even one made out of sawdust.” The miniature chairs are striking in their intricacy and creativity, she said. The opening reception for the two exhibitions will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Feb. 5 at the museum. The museum will offer “Bead-

ed Jewelry 101,” a CraftView afternoon workshop for adults and teens on Sunday, March 6. Participants will work with Columbus bead artist Lisa Hallenbeck to learn basic bead-stringing and jewelry techniques as they make a bracelet and earrings. Pre-registration is required and can be made by calling 614-4864402. The fee is $10 for members and $12 for non-members. The Ohio Craft Museum is at 1665 W. Fifth Ave. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 1 to 4 p.m. weekends, during exhibitions only. Admission and parking are free. afroman@thisweeknews.com

Boys Basketball

Sullivan scores 1,000th career point By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington High School boys basketball coach Tim Casey doesn’t hesitate to call Brian Sullivan the best player he has coached during his 10-year tenure with the Golden Bears. And based on his career numbers, Sullivan is one of the best players in the program’s 89-year history. The 5-foot-11 senior guard began the season with 708 career points, tied with 1996 graduate Brad Hosket for seventh

on the Bears’ all-time list, and it didn’t take long for him to move up to third. Sullivan passed 1973 graduate Kim Taylor (714) in the first game, 1990 graduate Jason Moore (752) and 2006 graduate Matt Streng (760) in the third game, and 2004 graduate Thomas Kluz (791) in the fifth game. Sullivan scored 24 points in a 58-50 win over Watterson on Jan. 31, raising his career total to 1,018. He trails only 1992 graduate Nate Wilbourne (1,206) and 1957 graduate Bill Cook (1,152) on the Bears’ all-time scoring list.

“It’s pretty cool,” Sullivan said of being the program’s third all-time leading scorer. “Growing up, it’s not something you strive for, but it’s an incentive and it’s a sign of success. It’s obviously a good thing. I knew I was kind of up there because I had two pretty good scoring seasons, but I didn’t know where I was (before the season).” “He’s got it all,” Casey said of Sullivan, a Miami University signee. “He’s got a perimeter jump shot, he can get it to the basket, he defends, he rebounds. He really is a complete player. And the

best thing is he’s a competitor. He’s got that quiet grit and determination. He really is a special player.” Sullivan averaged 14.1 points as a sophomore, his first season as a starter. He averaged 18.1 as a junior and was named special mention all-state in Division I as well as first-team all-district and the OCC-Central Division Player of the Year. He is just the eighth player in program history to receive all-state honors. The only other UA player to make allstate the past 19 seasons was Streng in

Inexperience, injuries are limiting Bears

Bears sweep league titles

By JARROD ULREY

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Abby Chin, a distance swimmer for Upper Arlington High School, has mixed emotions as she prepares for the Division I sectional meet on Feb. 12. Chin, who placed second in the 500-yard freestyle in 4 minutes, 53.60 seconds and was fifth in the 200 free (1:51.24) at last year’s Division I state meet, realizes sectional will be the last time she competes in her school’s pool. “It’ll be a little sad, but at the same time, it’s the first step to making it on to the district and state meets,” Chin said. The Golden Bears used the OCC-Central Division meet Jan. 29 at Thomas Worthington as a sort of shakedown cruise for the postseason. “We had a lot of question marks,” girls coach Dan Peterkoski said. “It’s not like the UA team we had a few years back where we knew what we were doing the first day of the season. We had a lot of hard decisions to make this year.” The girls team scored 433 points to finish first ahead of Thomas Worthington (252), Dublin Coffman (171), Hilliard Davidson (159), Central Crossing (72), Worthington Kilbourne (61) and Hilliard Darby (50). The girls team placed first in seven events and swept the top four spots of the 200 free and 500 free events. The boys team compiled 388.5 points to finish first ahead of Thomas (252), Coffman (162.5), Kilbourne (133), Darby (123), Davidson (98) and Central Crossing (55). Such domination is nothing new for UA. The Bears rarely have been pushed for league championships. The girls team was first by 139 points last year, 344 points in 2009 and 287 in 2008, while the boys distanced themselves from the second-place finisher by 219.5 points last year, 236 points in 2009 and 245 points in 2008. Chin broke a nine-year-old league record in the 200 free (1:53.65), topping the 1:54.68 set by UA graduate Kristen Wallace. She also bested a three-year-old record in the 500 free with a 5:00.84, topping UA graduate Beth Loe’s 5:06.33. Kayla Hammerberg was first in the 50 free (24.53) and 100 free (53.33). Jordan Russell was first in diving (421.2) and Lauren Comer won the 200 IM (2:10.68). Gabby Veri, Elizabeth Weldon, Comer and Hammerberg placed first in the 200 free relay (1:39.97), and Comer, Jenny Smith, Jessica Miller and Chin were first in the 400 free relay (3:39.07). The boys team showed its strength by sweeping all three of the relays. Alex Chin,Adam Rabe, Max Jelen and Adam Dodson were first in the 200 medley relay (1:41.34). Adam Rabe, Andrew Rabe, Sean Neri and Dodson took first in the 200 free relay (1:30.06),

2006 (third-team). This season, Sullivan was averaging 20.4 points through 14 games. Junior guard Carter Smith was second, averaging 13.0 points, followed by senior post player Wes Richter (11.1), junior guard Connor Casey (5.1) and senior guard/forward Eric Vannatta (5.1). “He’s just so gifted, and it’s a body of work, too,” Casey said of Sullivan. “He’s been a four-year varsity player who’s had an unbelievable career. He’s

The Upper Arlington High School gymnastics team has been dealing with adversity all season. Although the Golden Bears increased their numbers from a year ago to more than 20 athletes, several are new to the sport. That inexperience has hindered their ability to compete with some of the stronger programs in the area, including those from the OCC-Ohio Division. In addition, all three of UA’s captains have spent significant time on the sidelines because of injuries. Freshman Rebecca Jaskot’s emergence as one of the area’s best gymnasts has provided a spark, but even she has been battling ankle and back problems of late. Nonetheless, the Bears have tried to turn the situation into a positive by taking advantage of their increased numbers. “With the injuries we’ve had, it’s made us become closer,” sophomore Sierra Schmitt said. “We’ve had to pull together and give each other more support. A lot of people have been contributing because we have a lot bigger of a team than we did last season.” Jaskot was able to compete only on the uneven bars Jan. 27 during a 135.6-116.7 dual loss at Thomas Worthington. As of last week, she had central Ohio’s best score on bars (9.25) and on the

Hobbs, UA looking to wrap up OCC title By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Senior guard Sarah Hobbs of the Upper Arlington High School girls basketball team hopes to experience déjà vu when the Golden Bears visit Westland on Tuesday, Feb. 8, for an OCC-Central Division game. Last season, UA clinched the OCCCentral title outright with a 74-26 victory over Westland in the regular-season finale. After defeating Worthington Kilbourne 6551 on Jan. 25 and Hilliard Darby 63-34 on Jan. 28, the Bears need wins over visiting Central Crossing on Friday, Feb. 4, and the Cougars to clinch at least a share of the league title. “Last year, it was an amazing feeling cutting down the nets at our place,” Hobbs said. “The game itself wasn’t very exciting, but it was just a great experience.” UA leads the OCC-Central at 10-1. Dublin Coffman is second at 9-2, followed by Hilliard Davidson at 8-3, Thomas Worthington at 74, Central Crossing and Kilbourne at 4-7, Darby at 2-9 and Westland at 0-11. The Bears had little problem with Central Crossing and Westland in the first round of league play, defeating the Comets 49-37 on Dec. 21 and beating the Cougars 71-23 on Jan. 3. But coach Chris Savage said if the Bears plan on repeating as a champion, they can’t afford a misstep against those opponents. UA concludes the regular season at home against Davidson on Feb. 11. “It would be really easy to lose focus at this point of the year, but we know we have a tough game with Davidson at the end of the year,” Savage said. “We want to win the league outright. That’s our main motivation.” See SWIMMING, page B3 “If we want to get the title, we have to keep

our focus,” Hobbs said. “If we come into any game overconfident, we can get beat.” Some outside the UA program may not have thought the Bears would be in this position at the onset of the season after losing center Jane Windler, who made honorable mention all-state in Division I last season, and point guard Ashley Stuart to graduation from a squad that finished 20-3. Hobbs, however, thought UA had a good chance to repeat as league champion. “Of course, we thought we’d be here,” she said. “We have a lot of strong juniors who were coming up on the varsity. We have a lot more youth this year, but we’re still very con-

Commentary

Season again unfolding perfectly for 4 area boys teams 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 regular-season 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 SCOTT 44 consecutive reguHENNEN lar-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 Eliza-

beth (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 consecutive games in the regular 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 15- to 18year-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 93-63 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

Beam recently began walking uninhibited and hopes to return before the end of the season. Burt has been sidelined by back problems. Auge recently returned after recovering from a concussion.

Without being able to count on points from that trio throughout most of the regular season, UA has received contributions from junior Jasa Stone and sophomores Sarah Colasanti, Anne Langworthy and Natasha Ringnalda, among others. “It’s been tough with all three of my captains out for a while with injuries,” Ewart said. “(Jaskot) has been doing really well and Sierra and Somer have been working hard.

done everything and he’s continued to get better. “Freshman year, he was a bit of a role player. Sophomore year, he emerged as a pretty good scorer. And from that point forward, he’s been a marked man. And the fact that he’s continued to get better and his numbers continue to get better when you know everybody’s focused on stopping him, that says volumes about what kind of player he is.” Sullivan had one 3-pointer in a 54-36 win over visiting Hilliard Darby on Jan. 28. The 3-pointer was the 159th of his career, tying the program record held by his brother, Chris, a 2007 graduate. “I think it’s pretty funny that we’re tied right now. (Chris) has a few more days to enjoy (the record),” Brian said after the win over Darby. Brian now has the record all to himself, as he made four 3pointers against Watterson to raise his total to 163. Chris Sullivan, a 5-9 senior guard at Wittenberg University, was averaging an NCAA-best 4.5 3-pointers a game through 14 games for the Tigers. He continues to hold the UA record for 3pointers in a season with 92, which he set in the 2006-07 season. •STILL GOING — UA extended its regular-season winning streak to 34 games with the win over Watterson. According to coach Casey, the key to the streak has been the players’ ability to stay focused. “That’s a mindset we take great pride in, it’s something we talk about daily,” he said. “It’s not about the opponent; it’s about the approach. If you continue to play the right way, the score will take

Thomas Trace finished first in the 100 back (55.38) as the Bears took the top four spots. “We’ve competed against so many teams from Cincinnati and Cleveland and the other areas this season, so this was a great chance for us to get out and compete against so many central Ohio teams,” Adam Rabe said. “This is the championship meet environment.” The sectional might have a déjà vu feel for the Bears, who will be competing against OCC-Central rivals Darby, Davidson, Central Crossing and Coffman.

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.

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.

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.

Ecological farm group to host conference The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association’s 32nd annual conference, “Inspiring Farms, Sustaining Communities,” will take place Feb. 19-20 in Granville. This event will feature nationally recognized keynote speakers Joan Dye Gussow and Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens, over 70 workshops, a trade show, organic and locally-sourced meals, a kids’ conference, on-site childcare, and evening entertainment on Saturday. Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens made the transition from conventional farming to leading experts in organic production. Farming organically since 1993, they raise about 1400 acres of corn, soybeans, small grains, and other crops as well as heifers, pigs and chickens in Penn Yan, N.Y. The Martens’ venture into organic farming led them to start an organic grain business in 1996. Lakeview Organic Grain has ex-

panded to supply more than 300 organic farmers in central New York and is the state’s only dedicated organic feed mill and organic seed operation. Gussow was one of the first people to envision, teach and write about a local, organic, whole food system, earning her the title “matriarch of the modern day food movement,” according to OEFFA program director Renee Hunt. She is a nutrition educator, author, gardener, Mary Swartz Rose Professor Emeritus and former chair of the Columbia University Teachers College Nutrition Department. Gussow is the author of “This Organic Life,” “The Feeding Web” and “Chicken Little, Tomato Sauce and Agriculture: Who Will Produce Tomorrow’s Food?” The keynote address by the Martens, titled “Living Upstream: Decision-Making on an Organic Farm” will take place Feb. 19 at

4 p.m. They will share their philosophy on soil health management, crop rotation, weed control and marketing. Gussow’s keynote address, “Where Have We Been, Where Are We going?” will take place Feb. 20 at 2:45 p.m. She will share what it was like in the early days of the organic and local food movement, and talk about its connection to current issues, such as climate change. She will also explore some of today’s challenges to establishing an ecologically sound food system. In addition, the annual conference will feature more than 70 other educational workshops and cooking demonstrations. Conference registration is now open. To register or for more information, visit the website http://www.oeffa.org/conference2011.php or contact Hunt at 421-2022 extension 205 or renee@oeffa.org.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen EARS AND HEART SHARE MORE THAN 3 LETTERS When it comes to screening babies for hearing loss, the earlier the test is given, the better the outcome is likely to be. So says a recent study involving children with permanent hearing impairment. Researchers found that babies who underwent hearing screenings as newborns displayed better developmental outcomes than those who underwent screenings at nine months of age. Not only did the children screened earliest achieve greater overall, social, and gross motor developmental outcome scores by ages three to five years, they also displayed greater quality of life (as assessed by their parents). This study helps reinforce the notion that newborn hearing screening is a useful and effective means of improving the lives of children born with hearing impairment. Because communication is a vital part of our world no matter what our age, we’ll do all we can to promote healthy hearing for all members of your family. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, we’ll start with a comprehensive hearing test and evaluation to determine the best course of action to follow. If a hearing impairment is detected, we’ll use all our knowledge and experience to match the correct instrument with your abilities in order to make the most of the hearing you do have. We also perform unique speech tests to help us find out why a person is struggling with understanding speech. You can reach us at 614-654-4309, 1000 Morrison Road, Suite H, Gahanna.

We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!
