Arlington Ave. compromise approved By CHRIS BOURNEA ThisWeek Community Newspapers After much discussion, Upper Arlington City Council voted unanimously Monday night to approve a $1.9-million reconstruction project along Arlington Avenue from Edgemont Road to Guilford Road. The project is scheduled to begin this spring and conclude in late summer. The project option approved by council was one of three — a compromise between a $2.4-million option, which would
have included amenities such as entryway markers and tree lighting, and a $1.7million option that would have repaved the road and added new pavers to the sidewalk but included few amenities. The approved option will include street repaving, installation of sidewalk pavers, replacement of trees that are removed during construction and minimal beautification amenities. Before taking a vote, council discussed approving the $1.7-million option as a way to save money. That option would disrupt business along the Mallway with-
out providing any amenities, said Connie Leal Ballenger, who owns the building at the corner of Arlington Avenue and Guilford Road that houses the Leal clothing boutique and several other shops. “It doesn’t give us anything to entice people to come back” after construction is completed, Ballenger said. Council member Ed Seidel introduced a motion to approve the $1.9-million option, which originally included the installation of foundation and electrical work for entryway markers and tree lighting. The motion failed, garnering votes only
from Seidel, council vice president Mary Ann Krauss and Debbie Johnson. Council ultimately opted to approve the $1.9-million option without the foundation and electrical work for the entryway markers and tree lighting, which saves $148,000. In other action, council approved an ordinance to allow full-time city employees hired before Jan. 1, 2011, to accrue 80 hours of vacation time after one year of continuous service and up to 160 hours See COUNCIL, page A2

NCR breaks ground for $8M FCV expansion
Music Together class at FCV gets young, old moving

Last week, First Community Village put the rock back in Roxbury. With the help of several preschoolers and their parents, as well as the residents of the Alzheimer’s care facility, the Roxbury Cottages on Riverside Drive were alive with song and dance on Feb. 8. Director Sarah Case of Bloom! Music and Movement Centre on Northwest Boulevard brought her Music Together class to First Community Village as an outreach field trip for the children and their families. “The program lets parents and kids explore music and dance in a playful way,” Case said. Taking the class to the Alzheimer’s residents seemed By Eric George/ThisWeek like a natural fit for Case and her students.

After assuming the role as sole sponsor and operator of First Community Village in December, National Church Residences has followed through on its promise to expand the campus. At a groundbreaking event Feb. 11 that included NCR and city officials, NCR announced a new, $8-million expansion project at First Community Village on Riverside Drive. The project will include 32 independent-living manor homes, along with another 13 buildings, which will include additional dining and recreation options. The new patio-style homes will range in size from 1,525 to 1,667 square feet. “The expansion of the manor homes will enable First Community Village to continue to provide an array of senior living resources across the comprehensive continuum of care,” CEO Thomas Slemmer said. Columbus-based Corna Kokosing Construction Company will head the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of summer 2012, according to NCR spokesman Patrick Higgins. “The revitalization of First Community Village is an opportunity

for us to expand our service offerings and start the next chapter,” Higgins said. “We are very excited to finish out the original scope of the campus.” Higgins said that he currently has a list of 50 people who have shown interest in the new units, several of whom have already made deposits. Emma Speight, Upper Arlington deputy city manager for community affairs, said that the expansion is another great option to allow Upper Arlington residents to age in place. While the city is expecting to see a small increase in revenue from the project, Speight said the increased quality of life for seniors that this expansion will bring is the real value. “This project is great news for See EXPANSION, page A2
John Elam to be added Board OKs contracts to UA’s Wall of Honor with Wickliffe, Nike By GARY BUDZAK
By KATE HETRICK ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Upper Arlington Board of Education approved a provision of services contract with Wickliffe Progressive Community School and an athletic apparel contract with Nike at its Feb. 14 meeting. “In conversation with our attorneys, Bricker and Eckler, they felt we should put a little more detailed contract out between Upper Arlington City Schools and Wickliffe Progressive,” said district treasurer Andrew Geistfeld. He said the district has been operating under a “broad agreement” with Wickliffe for roughly the past five years. Geistfeld said the contract provides a way for the district to cover its current process “in a little more detail.” “Part of the contract basically says that Wickliffe will give the Upper Arlington City School District all the state funding it receives because we are contracting out our staff to Wickliffe,” he said. “The only part that they don’t transfer to us currently is Wickliffe’s general budget that they spend on students, on supplies, that type of stuff.” The contract specifies that Wickliffe may set
aside up to $50,500 for its general budget during the 2010-11 school year. The board also approved an athletic apparel contract with Kesslers Team Sports, a regional representative of the Nike All School Program. Michael Schaefer, UA’s director of boys athletics, said the district was first approached by Nike last year. “We’ve explored options from a couple other companies; we’ve talked with coaches; we’ve talked with other schools that have done Nike deals,” Schaefer said. “We felt that this deal was the best benefit for us, and for our coaches and for our programs.” The contract allows the district to purchase apparel at a 35 percent discount across the board, Schaefer said. In exchange for the discount, the UAHS athletic program will be required to convert all major varsity teams to Nike uniforms during the “normal uniform replacement cycle.” The athletic program will also be required to purchase a minimum of $25,000 in Nike team products annually. Schaefer said the cost for new football uniforms alone is about $15,000. “One of the pluses to the way the contract See BOARD, page A6

John Elam, a trial lawyer, philanthropist and school board president, is the 2011 inductee for the Upper Arlington Wall of Honor. “We’re definitely very pleased,” said Mary Jane Elam, one of Elam’s daughters. “A lot of (nominating) letters came in and it was especially nice for all of us (four children, eight grandchildren) and for Mom to read those.” “Adding his name to the Upper Arlington Wall of Honor is the right thing to do,” wrote one of Elam’s friends, Bill Kientz. “He wouldn’t expect it, but he earned it.” Kate Erstein of the Upper Arlington Historical Society said to be on the Wall of Honor, a person must be deceased, have lived in UA for part of his or her life, and made a significant contribution to the city, state or nation.

Elam was also president of the UA school board for two years.

NCR is based in Upper Arlington and is a partner with the city on the STAY UA program, which connects residents with needed social services and healthcare to allow them the option of aging in place in their own homes. The company is the nation’s largest nonprofit developer and manager of affordable senior housing and services, according to its
website, with more than 330 communities in 28 states and Puerto Rico. First Community Village was established in 1963; according to the website its goal is to create a caring environment for the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical and social aspects of the Village’s residents. “(We are) excited to begin the next phase of growth in First Community Village’s long history of service to seniors in the Tri-Village area,” Slemmer said.

Brooke Randolph, activities coordinator at Roxbury Cottages, worked with Case to bring the group in. “Anything that involves kids and music works well for us and the seniors in our care,” Randolph said. “She (Case) brought instruments to share and scarves to twirl. We even had residents in walkers participating. Out of 34 residents, 27 of them joined in.” Randolph said she looks for activities that get her residents up and moving. She said music and children are the right combination to make that happen. According to the website, Music Together is an early-childhood music and movement program for infants through kindergartners, and the adults in their lives. It focuses on the idea that all children have music in them. Case and Randolph were so pleased with the results of this program that they’re working to make it a monthly event. They said they felt it was a great experience for everyone involved. “It was beautiful to see the seniors liven up with the music,” Case said. “I think it is amazing — this power of music to bring everyone across generations together and share in an experience.” www.ThisWeekNews.com
after 13 years of continuous service. After 13 years, employees could earn an additional eight hours of vacation time per year for each additional three years of continuous service. Under the ordinance, employees hired after Jan. 1, 2011, can accrue 80 hours of vacation time after one year of continuous service and 120 hours after five years. The ordinance passed 5-2, with Krauss and Johnson voting against it. Both have said they believe council should have waited until a compensation study is completed this spring before moving forward with the legislation. Also at the meeting, council president Frank Ciotola made appointments to committees that will conduct a 10-year review of the city’s master plan: • Housing and Community Appearance: Wade Steen, Johnson and Krauss, chair. • Technology and Sustainability: Seidel, David DeCapua and Erik Yassenoff, chair. Ciotola also reappointed Ted Schindler and David Varda to council’s audit committee.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen OUT ON THE STREET We sometimes grow so accustomed to the noise around us that we tend not to realize just how insidious it actually is. Such may be the case with the street noise that we have become so accustomed to hearing in our cities. Traffic noise, sirens, and crowd noise may pose a bigger threat to hearing than we might think. For instance, when researchers recently measured the nose in 60 spots around New York City, they found that 98 percent of their measurements exceeded 70 decibels. This level can cause irreversible hearing damage over time. While not all of us live in such noisy environments, this study makes a good case for wearing earplugs for those who do. Our noisy world offers no guarantees that we’ll have perfect hearing throughout our lives. We must accept the responsibility of protecting our hearing, in our home and work environments and our recreational pursuits, and do all we can to correct impairments. If you don’t hear as well as you feel you should, don’t wait until you feel left out. Have your hearing checked.

But talk was really the only result. Like many other times in the state’s history, forceful leadership was needed to bring canals to Ohio. In this case, that leadership was provided by Ethan Allen Brown. As early as 1816, Brown, a Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, had written to Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York seeking information about the canal system of that state. When Brown was elected governor in 1818, he proposed building a canal and continued to press for its construction. In the end the Ohio General Assembly agreed and studies were made as to possible locations. Two major canal systems — the Miami and Erie in the west and the Ohio and Erie in the east — were built with the support and supervision of a number of people as committed to the project as Gov. Brown had been. Important among them was Alfred Kelley. Kelley had come to Columbus in 1816 to represent Cleveland in the assembly. He served for the next several decades, eventually representing Columbus as well. As a member of the Canal Commission he personally supervised

As it were
Columbus’ rivers did not provide a useful waterway With the opening of the Scioto Mile, the Scioto River will once again be an attraction that will draw people both to downtown and the city as a whole. After all, people were drawn to the forks of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers a couple of centuries ago because the water was clear and clean. And it was widely believed that a place where two rivers came together would soon be a center of profitable river trade. The water was clear and clean and had been drawing people to its banks for several thousand years. Native Americans lived here for centuries and built large Indian mounds nearby. Mound Street is named for one of them. Thousands of deer came down to the river to drink in molting season and covered the water in a blanket of shedding deer fur. With a wry direct-
ness, Native American gave the stream a new name — “Hairy River.” But the profitable river trade the pioED neers expected to undertake LENTZ with huge cargo laden flatboats was not to be. The river was too narrow in many places and the current too treacherous. Only at a few times of year was the water high enough to carry the great flatboats. And at that time the current was so swift that many boats were lost. The pioneer settlements of central Ohio were rather isolated for a number of years. Until the canal came. Canals are not a new idea. One

can find them at any number of places in the ancient world where people needed an artificial waterway for one reason or another. But canals are expensive to build and costly to maintain. For that reason they are often built by governments and not by private enterprise. As the land across the Appalachian Mountains began to be settled after the American Revolution, men like Henry Clay began to argue that government should finance “internal improvements” like roads, canals and river work to “open the West” to commerce. And all of this should be financed by the federal government. Of course many people in the East were not thrilled with the idea that their taxes should subsidize public works that would help the Ohio River valley compete with their own commerce. So canals were more a dream than a reality for a number of years. Then the extraordinary success of the Erie Canal linking the East to the Great Lakes captured the imagination of the country in the years after the War of 1812. Soon many Ohioans were talking about canals and building one in the state.

An Upper Arlington High School senior was one of the winners at the TechColumbus annual Innovation Awards, held Feb. 3 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Ameya Deshmukh was one of two winners of a $2,500 High School Innovation Award/Scholarship. The other was Kevin Wolf of New Albany High School. They were selected by independent judges. “The Innovation Awards has become the premier event for the central Ohio tech community, showcasing the best and brightest individuals, companies and technology teams for their contributions and achievements in innovation,” said Ted Ford, president and CEO of TechColumbus, in a statement. TechColumbus is a nonprofit organization that focuses on technology-based economic development in the 15 counties of central Ohio. Deshmukh said that to win the award, he wrote an essay “regarding how innovation fits into your life and how you see yourself using innovation in your future.” Since the seventh grade, Deshmukh has conducted research at Ohio State University. For the past three years, he has worked in the pharmacology research lab of Professor Dennis McKay. For his OSU work, he gets a half credit applied to his high school general science credit. “When I first spoke to Professor McKay, he asked me to be able to make a long-term commitment,” Deshmukh said. “He asked me to become part of their lab group, and I basically go about three days a week to campus. I unfortunately don’t drive, so I take the bus to campus and I spend about 2-3 hours there carrying out my research.”
Ted Ford, president and CEO of TechColumbus, presents Innovation Award to Ameya Deshmukh.
Deshmukh said he’s fortunate that OSU is in his back yard, because some of his science fair friends from out of town have to drive an hour to and from the lab. While at OSU, Deshmukh works with undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students on designing drugs to combat nicotine addiction that work differently than current products on the market, he said. “The drug that I’m attempting to discover is interacting with these (nicotinic) receptors in a slightly different way in that it targets a separate site on that receptor, and is able to essentially shut it down and stop the production of dopamine. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that essentially leads to the high that the person experiences when they use any nicotine-based product.”
Deshmukh has presented his research at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, and has an invitation to present his work at the National Institute of Drug Abuse. He’s not sure if he’ll attend Ohio State, but Deshmukh said he’ll probably pursue a dual major in the biological sciences and chemistry. He’d like to go into biomedical engineering and commercialize his research. “That’s kind of the premise of the Innovation Awards,” Deshmukh said. “They are basically looking for people who have done research and are able to apply that and make those products and services available to the common man.” For more information, visit www.techcolumbus.org.

the construction of much of the canal. When the economic depression of the 1830s threatened Ohio’s ability to pay interest due on its canal bonds, Kelley would pledge his own Columbus home as collateral to ensure payment on the bonds. Through the efforts of Kelley and many others, Columbus was linked to the main line of the Ohio and Erie Canal by a Feeder Canal that entered the city near the place where Bicentennial Park is today. In 1860, a state arsenal — now the Cultural Arts Center — would be built next to the canal to permit easy movement of arms and ordnance in and out of the city. The canal and the recently arrived National Road transformed Columbus. As late as 1832, Columbus was a frontier village of a few thousand people. By 1834, Columbus was a city of five thousand people. Large numbers of travelers and immense quantities of freight arrived by both road and water and more than a few Columbus residents made their fortune in the new crossroads capital city. The canal and its people captured the imagination of the city. Longtime resident Emily Stewart later remembered,
Event Winter book sale begins Feb. 20 The Friends of the Upper Arlington Public Library are preparing for the ninth annual winter book sale, which begins at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 20. Thousands of used books were donated for the two-week sale. Most hardbacks are $2. Paper backs are 50 cents and large, better-quality paperbacks
are $1. Books for young adults and children range from 25 cents to $1. Books will be displayed in the first floor atrium of the Main Library, 2800 Tremont Road. A separate book sale will be held on the sale’s opening day (Feb. 20), featuring large, rare and specialty books. The sale runs daily during regular library hours, and will end at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 6.
“The first canal boats seemed like fairy palaces. They were painted white and the windows had green shutters and scarlet curtains. The inside panels of the cabins contained pictures and mirrors. The officers of the passenger boats were gentlemen. The cabin was a dining and sitting room in the daytime, but was converted into a sleeping apartment at night. There were staterooms at each end for the ladies, whose comfort was further promoted by the attentions of a polite and diligent stewardess. For years after the canal was opened, the boats always came in with a band of music playing on board. The captain of the boat usually played the clarinet for the entertainment of the passengers…” But all of this growth and success came with a price. The riverfront between the Main Street Canal Basin and the Broad Street Bridge came to be filled with docks for canal boats and canal warehouses soon lined the waterfront. Factories, inexpensive housing and even less attractive taverns and other amusements soon followed. The river, once clear and pristine, soon became little more than an open sewer and a place few people willingly visited for leisurely recreation. The golden age of the Ohio and Erie Canal lasted for less than 30 years. By 1850, the first railroad had arrived in Columbus and in a few years, the canal began a long, slow decline. An attempt to revive the canal was unsuccessful. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

nity and the world,” Lashutka wrote. “John was selfless in providing perspectives that helped me often reach the right conclusions.” “On countless occasions, our office called upon John to assist us in many endeavors on behalf of the citizens of Columbus,” wrote Dana G. Rinehart. “Never once did he hesitate to offer support and leadership. In addition, on several occasions I had the distinct pleasure in seeking out his wise advice and counsel on serious matters facing the city … John touched thousands of lives in central Ohio and his legacy in that regard will live on for decades.” A bronze plaque posthumously commemorating the contributions of Elam will be dedicated during a public ceremony May 22 at the Upper Arlington Municipal Services Center, 3600 Tremont Road.

works is that it’s not just for the high school,” said Christopher Potts, the district’s director of general business. “The middle school would be able to take advantage of these discounts as well.” The three-year contract will run from June 1, 2011, to May 31, 2014. During the public participation portion of the meeting, Kathryn Smith Ripper, a representative of UA KID (Kids Identified with Dyslexia), addressed the board. She said both she and her children have been diagnosed with dyslexia. Smith Ripper told board members that UA KID plans to organize presentations on the third Thursday of each month. The first presentation is scheduled for 7 p.m. Feb. 17, at the Upper Arlington Municipal Services Center, 3600 Tremont Road. The guest speaker will be Mary Damer, an adjunct professor in the special education department at Ohio State University. Smith Ripper said the presentations are open to the public. “This is to help members of the community, interested parents, interested students … to learn more about dyslexia. This is a pressing need across the country,” she said. UA KID is also asking the board to support House Bill 96, sponsored by Reps. Ted Celeste and Andrew Brenner. The bill would specify dyslexia as a specific learning disability and require early screening and intervention services for children with dyslexia. khetrick@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Hammerberg working toward ‘last hurrah’ By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
For the past two years, Upper Arlington High School senior Kayla Hammerberg has fallen just short of winning the Division I state title in the 50-yard freestyle. Last year, she finished seventh in 24.18 seconds, .98 of a second out of first. As a sophomore, she was fourth in 23.83, .5 of a second from first. “I’ve always been in the hunt,” she said. “I’ve made it to state since I was a freshman and this is my last hurrah.
“I know what is going to happen. I know about the taper, the nervousness and what is going on with my body. It’s waiting for it all to come together.” UA girls coach Dan Peterkoski is counting on seniors like Hammerberg and Abby Chin to lead the way as the Golden Bears look to capture the district title on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Ohio State. After dominating the home sectional on Feb. 12, the girls team has 18 swimmers seeded in the top 10 of various events at district. The girls team, which is looking for
its seventh consecutive state title, won sectional with 416 points, well ahead of second-place Watterson (212). The UA boys (414) won easily over St. Charles (280). Hammerberg is seeded first in the 50 free (24.31) and the 100 free (52.73), and Chin is ranked first in the 200 free (1:52.91) and the 500 free (4:56.27). The Bears also are seeded first in the 200 medley relay (1:50.66), the 200 free relay (1:38.92) and the 400 free relay (3:35.54). “Having that experience is a key part to having that success year after year
after year,” Peterkoski said. “We have some younger girls that should have the opportunity to do well. The older girls can take them under their wing and help us calm them down. Sometimes, they listen to each other more than they listen to us.” The top three finishers in each boys and girls event at district automatically advance to the state meet Feb. 24-26 at Branin Natatorium in Canton. Additionally, 11 at-large berths will be given out in each event statewide based on time. To achieve their potential, the Bears
do visualization drills in which they lay on mats, close their eyes and picture themselves reaching that peak performance. “We set a bunch of goals before the season,” Hammerberg said. “We might not focus on them 100 percent during the regular season, but we’re always working toward them. It’s not always in our heads, but when we lay down and close our eyes we can see (ourselves reaching those goals) at the end of the season.” See SWIM, page B3
Gymnastics
Jaskot leads Bears at OCC By COLIN SMITH ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Freshman Becca Jaskot’s performance in the OCC-Ohio Division meet Feb. 12 provided a bright spot in what has been a difficult season for the Upper Arlington High School gymnastics team. Jaskot won the all-around with a score of 34.8, won the uneven bars (8.625) and placed second on the balance beam (8.875) and floor exercise (9.125) to lead the Golden Bears to a score of 120.675, their highest team total of the season. Jaskot and Natalie Bayer tied for the team’s highest score on vault, as each scored an 8.175 to tie for 13th. Olentangy’s Colleen McHugh won beam (9.0) and floor (9.15). Hilliard Darby’s Meghan Parsley won vault (9.05). UA finished behind Thomas Worthington (133.575), Olentangy (132.55), Dublin Coffman (130.2), Hilliard Darby (129.6) and Grove City (128.95), but coach Jessica Ewart hopes her team’s strong performance at the league meet and consistent improvement are indicative of success to come both at the district meet on Feb. 26 at Worthington Kilbourne and next season. “I’m really pleased with the way we did, both individually and as a group,” Ewart said. “As we approach the district meet and state, the little things are important. We know we have the skills, now it’s just a matter of executing.” Jaskot, freshman Somer Aleshire and sophomore Sierra Schmitt lead a talented young group that could hold big things in the coming years for UA. One of the area’s top gymnasts who was named club level 8 state champion last spring, Jaskot quickly is earning a reputation as one of central Ohio’s rising stars. “It’s been so thrilling to see her grow. I really don’t have words to describe it,” Ewart said. “She’s got a lot of talent and always works hard. It’s been good to see her performing so well.” While success isn’t foreign to Jaskot, who has been involved in gymnastics since first grade, she admits taking top honors at the league meet was a surprise. “I definitely wasn’t expecting it, that’s for sure,” Jaskot said. “Usually my friends from club who go to other schools have been beating me this year, and I know how talented they are. That made it even more exciting and an honor to come out on top.” Injuries have proved challenging for UA. Captains Madeline Auge, Emily Burt and Casey Beam all have been sidelined at some point during the season. Jaskot overcame ankle and back problems before breaking out at the OCC-Ohio meet. Those setbacks also have had a positive effect, bringing the team closer as the season draws to an end.

Mary Corbett (left) is looking forward to the tournament opener against Grove City, because her uncle, Dale Corbett, coaches the Greyhounds.
Shortly after the draw on Feb. 6 for the Division I district tournament, senior guard Mary Corbett of the Upper Arlington High School girls basketball team received a call from her uncle, Grove City coach Dale Corbett. Dale Corbett joked with his niece about the fact that the Golden Bears and Grove City would be facing each other in the first round of the tournament at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17, at Hilliard Davidson. “He’s already started talking trash,” Mary Corbett said with a laugh. “He said, ‘We’re going to put our fastest person on you’ and all this stuff. My uncle’s a funny guy and he and I are pretty tight. It’s going to be neat. We’ve got a whole bunch of family who are going to be at that one.” The two teams find themselves
Below are the recent results and coming schedule for the Upper Arlington girls basketball team: *Feb. 8 — Defeated Westland 59-40.

Golden Bears again take aim at perfection By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Upper Arlington High School boys basketball team is one win from a second consecutive undefeated regular season and its second outright OCCCentral Division championship in a row. The Golden Bears, who are 19-0 overall and 13-0 in the OCC-Central, have won 38 consecutive regular-season games and play host to Dublin Coffman on Friday, Feb. 18, in their regularSee GYMNASTICS, page B3 season finale. They clinched at least a
share of the league title with a 61-41 win over Hilliard Davidson on Feb. 11. Coffman, which is 15-3 and 12-1, would earn a share of the OCC-Central championship with a win over the Bears. “Like coach (Tim Casey) said (in the locker room after the win over Davidson), we really don’t want to share (the league title) with anybody, especially Coffman, who we all consider our main rival,” senior post player Wes Richter said. “We want to win on Friday so that we get the title outright.” “It’s our last game before the tour-
nament, it’s our seniors’ last home game,” Casey said. “There are a lot of reasons to want to win that one, that’s for sure. We have six seniors in our program and it’s a pretty important game for those guys.” Upper Arlington defeated Coffman 53-52 on Jan. 14 in the first round of league play behind 29 points from senior guard Brian Sullivan and 16 from Richter. Guard Zack Riddle led the Shamrocks with 18 points and guard Christian Heine added 17. The Bears led by as many as eight
points in the first half and held a 29-21 advantage at halftime. Coffman trimmed its deficit to 35-32 by the end of the third quarter and took its first lead at 40-39 when forward Adam Hall hit a 3-pointer with 5 minutes, 43 seconds left. There were seven lead changes in the final 5:30. After Coffman took a 52-51 lead on a three-point play by Riddle with 32 seconds left, Sullivan made what proved to be the winning basket.

Wellington Roundup
Boys team must improve defense to make run By PAUL BATTERSON
At a glance
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Wellington School boys basketball team is hoping to use its final two games of the regular season as a positive sendoff into the Division IV district tournament. The Jaguars, 6-12 overall after losing to Hartley 76-35 on Feb. 12, were seeded eighth and will face seventhseeded Gahanna Christian at 8 p.m. Feb. 26 at Westerville North. Wellington closes the regular season against Grove City Christian on Friday, Feb. 18, and at Mansfield Christian on Saturday, Feb. 19. “If we do well, those last two games could work to our advantage,” coach Brian McCants said. “If we can win these last couple of games, we can get a little swagger back and get some confidence. If we can do that, we can get on a roll from here on out.” Wellington hasn’t been on a roll much this season, but it does have history on its side. Since 2000, the Jaguars have never lost in the first round of the tournament and reached the district final five times. They captured the dis-

trict title in 2003 and lost in the final in 2002, 2005, 2008 and last year. If the Jaguars are going to return to the Fairgrounds Coliseum and the district final, McCants said they will have to play better man-to-man defense without fouling. The Jaguars are 1-7 overall when opponents make 10 or more free throws. “We need to start moving our feet and defend without fouling,” McCants said. “That’s been a real problem for us.
“Personally, I like it when they play man-to-man because we get steals and that creates more offense. When they play the whole game in a zone, they get really lethargic. We need them to get aggressive.” •After a disappointing performance in the Division II sectional swimming meet last year, Jenna Tugaoen had plenty to feel good about in the Upper Arlington sectional on Feb. 12. Tugaoen grabbed the top seed at dis-
trict in the 100-yard backstroke in a school-record 1 minute, 1.39 seconds and was seeded eighth in the 100 butterfly in a school record 1:02.59. “Last year I didn’t do that well at this meet, so this year I was looking forward to getting a better spot at districts,” Tugaoen said. “There are a lot of (Division I) competitors here and it’s really nerveracking. You have to control what you can about your race.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com The girls team scored 296 to finish www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Continued from page B1 He hit a fadeaway jumper along the baseline with 17 seconds remaining. Sullivan then blocked a jump shot taken by a Heine inside the lane with 3.5 seconds left. “Big-time players play well in big-time games,” Richter said of Sullivan’s performance. Upper Arlington beat Coffman 64-58 and 65-62 in the regular season a year ago en route to winning its first OCC title since the 1995-96 season. Sullivan scored a career-high 35 points in the first matchup and 25 in the second. The teams met again in a Division I district semifinal, with Coffman exacting a measure of revenge by defeating the Bears 50-48. “I think we match up well with them and they match up well with us, and we know each other very well,” Casey said. “It’s going to be an emotional game and there’s a lot riding on it, for both teams. So, yeah, I expect it to be a pretty close game. I can’t imagine it would play out any other way.” “They played us pretty well (in the first meeting this season),” Richter said. “I think they think that a couple more shots, a couple more fouls go their way that they can beat us. I don’t think we’ll see much difference in them this time.” Richter expects a standing-room-only crowd at the game. “Coffman always brings their fans and they make us bring ours,” he said. “Everyone wants to see the Coffman game, so it will be fun.” Sullivan, a Miami University signee who ranks third on the Bears’ all-time scoring list with 1,045 career points, leads the team in scoring, averaging 19.8 points. Junior guard Carter Smith is second, averaging 13.0 points, followed by Richter (12.1), junior guard Connor Casey (5.3) and senior guard-forward Eric Vannatta (4.7).
Below are the recent results and coming schedule for the Upper Arlington boys basketball team: *Feb. 4 — Defeated Central Crossing 55-30. Carter Smith had 22 points and Wes Richter scored 14.

Richter had 17 points, Sullivan scored 15 and Smith scored 10. *Feb. 18 — Home vs. Dublin Coffman Of note: The Bears are 19-0 overall and 13-0 in the OCC-Central. *OCC-Central game
Sullivan recently missed two games because of illness but the Bears didn’t miss a beat, as they defeated Central Crossing 55-30 on Feb. 4 and beat Groveport 60-18 on Feb. 5. “Don’t get me wrong, he’s a pretty big piece to our team and it’s difficult to play without him,” coach Casey said of Sullivan. “But we have other guys and our system is based on guys accepting their roles. ... I do think we have a pretty balanced group.” Smith had 22 points and Richter scored 14 against Central Crossing, and 10 players scored against Groveport, including Smith with 19 points. “When Brian was out, we had guys step up,” Richter said. “We definitely missed him because he’s a great player, but when you have guys step up to take the place of others, that’s big.” •TOURNEY INFO — Upper Arlington is seeded third in the Division I district tournament behind top-seeded Westerville South and Northland, and has a first-round bye. The Bears will face Thomas Worthington or Briggs in the second round at 6 p.m. Feb. 25 at Hilliard Bradley, with the winner playing 10th-seeded Olentangy Orange, 12thseeded Mount Vernon, Davidson or Westerville Central in a district semifinal at 2:30 p.m. March 5 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum.

behind the arc in a 59-40 win over Westland on Feb. 8. “We had a sub-par shooting night (in a 43-32 win over Central Crossing on Feb. 4),” Savage said. “We started to shoot the way I know we’re capable of (against Westland).” UA finished 13-1 in the OCC-Central for the second year in a row. Dublin Coffman was second at 11-3, followed by Davidson (10-4), Thomas Worthington (9-5), Central Crossing (5-9), Worthington Kilbourne (5-9), Hilliard Darby (3-11) and Westland (0-14). Shortly after arriving home after the game against Westland, Mary Corbett discovered that Coffman had lost to Davidson 55-45 that same night, giving UA the league title outright. She immediately began texting her teammates. “We were all so excited,” she said. “It was extra special for (seniors Sarah Hobbs, Ali Gerlach and me). (After going 10-13 overall my freshman year), we had high hopes doing well, but I thought a league title was way out of our reach. This shows us hard work pays off.”
During Mary Corbett’s freshman season in 2007-08, the teams split in their two OCCBuckeye meetings. Upper Arlington held off Grove City 65-61 in the first round but was defeated by the Greyhounds 54-49 in the second meeting. Corbett scored a total of seven points in the two contests. The teams have not played each other since. “The last time we (beat Grove City), it was right before Christmas,” Mary Corbett said. “It made for a very awkward (family gathering for the holiday). The whole time he was going, ‘We’re going to get you the next time.’ He just caught us on a bad night (in the second meeting that season).” The Greyhounds must be ready to face a team with balanced scoring and a distinct perimeter threat. In the six games prior to playing Dublin Scioto on Feb. 14, Upper Arlington had five players score 10 or more points, including Corbett, who averaged 11.3 points during that span. In addition, the Bears made 39 3-pointers in those six games, pbatterson@thisweeknews.com including going 11-for-19 from www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Liberty wins Blue Jackets Cup despite penalties By AARON BLANKENSHIP and PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Olentangy Liberty High School hockey coach Jack Hoogeveen felt like his team had to stay out of the penalty box to beat Dublin Coffman in the Blue Jackets Cup final Feb. 13 at the Dispatch Ice Haus. He could only smile and shake his head after the second-seeded Patriots racked up 10 penalties leading to nine power-play opportunities for the fourthseeded Shamrocks, but still managed to earn a 3-2 victory. The Patriots improved to 23-8-1 overall and became the first team outside of Dublin to win the Blue Jackets Cup. Coffman, which dropped to 21-8-1, won Blue Jackets Cup titles in 2004, ’05 and ’09, while Dublin Jerome won in ’06, ’07, ’08 and ’10. “When we’re five-on-five we can play with anybody, so we talked about avoiding selfish penalties and staying out of the box,” Hoogeveen said. “I thought there was no way we could win if we gave up that many power plays, because Coffman has a good power play and a lot of good scorers. But our penalty-kill units grinded it out, and our goalie gave us a chance to win.” Junior goaltender Eddie Arcy had 33 saves and didn’t give up a goal during
two five-on-three Coffman power plays in the first period. Arcy’s tournament included 13 saves in a 3-0 win over seventh-seeded Olentangy Orange on Feb. 10 and 14 saves during a 3-2 win over sixth-seeded Upper Arlington in a semifinal on Feb. 11. “The toughest saves were in the first period during those five-on-threes,” Arcy said. “It felt like they were constantly in our zone and we couldn’t get into a groove, so I just tried to keep us within a goal to give our team a chance to win this game.” Coffman scored its first goal during a Liberty power play midway through the second period when Kevin Putnam stole the puck, skated the length of the ice and beat Arcy one-on-one. Liberty’s Ethan Hollingsworth scored off an assist from Robert Koehler early in the third period to tie the game, before Sam O’Brien scored on a four-onthree power play to put Coffman ahead 2-1 with 10 minutes, 2 seconds remaining. O’Brien was assisted by Gregory Strine and Matt Smith. Smith returned to play in the tournament after missing the previous 15 games with a broken wrist. The Shamrocks’ forward line of O’Brien, Putnam and Ian Flinders was effective throughout the tournament, scoring six goals in Coffman’s 10-3 win over fifth-seeded St. Charles on

Feb. 10 and both goals in its 2-1 semifinal win over top-seeded Jerome on Feb. 11. “Our first line is tough to contain, because those guys have so much creativity and skill,” said Coffman assistant coach Scott Adamick, who filled in as head coach for Perry Pooley, who was coaching his son’s youth club hockey team in a tournament in Montreal. “We played well and had our chances. Look at the number of power plays we had that we didn’t capitalize on, especially with the two-man advantage. It’s do-or-die in those situations and when you don’t score on power plays, most of the time it comes back to bite you. But give credit to their goaltender, because he played phenomenal.” The Patriots tied the game at 2 less

With only 28.4 seconds left, Schuman saved a shot by Christopher Bergamesca only to have Jimmy Ruska poke the puck through the goaltender’s legs for the winning goal. “I went to the net hard, like we’re taught to do, and when I saw the puck sitting there in the crease, my eyes got huge like dinner plates, and all I had to do was tap it in,” Ruska said.

they were the No. 1 seed,” Adamick said. “That was a more up-tempo game and it was almost more emotional and energetic than the Liberty game because both teams wanted it so badly.” •DISTRICT INFO — Upper Arlington is seeded eighth for the district tournament and has a first-round bye. The Golden Bears will play Beavercreek or Olentangy in the second round at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 20, at the Dispatch Ice Haus. Beavercreek and Olentangy play in the first round on Saturday, Feb. 19. UA, which is 16-15-4, defeated Olentangy 4-3 on Feb. 4 but has not played Beavercreek this season. If the Bears advance, they will play second-seeded Olentangy Liberty, DeSales or Troy in a district quarterfinal on Feb. 26 and likely would face thirdseeded Dublin Coffman or seventh-seeded St. Charles in a district semifinal on Feb. 27. The district final will be played March 5. All games will be played at the Ice Haus. UA, which won district titles in 2006 and ’07, reached a district quarterfinal last season before losing to Coffman 3-0.
•The coach may have changed this season, but the expectations and the accomplishments for the boys team are the same. “I don’t think there has been one thing that has surprised me,” first-year coach Michael de Bear said. “For some, I’m the second coach that they’ve had in two years and for some, I am the third coach they’ve had in four years. But it has been a pretty seamless (transition).” The boys team advanced 18 swimmers in 32 individual events to district. Upper Arlington is seeded first in six events. Joey Long is the top seed in the 200 free (1:45.48) and 500 free (4:42.4), and Sean Neri is first in the 100 back (53.42). The Bears also are seeded first in the 200 medley relay (1:38.73), the 200 free relay (1:29.46) and the 400 free relay (3:16.29). The Bears have won 48 district titles, but they’re looking for their first since 2005. UA has finished ahead of nemesis St. Charles at the Ned Reeb Invitational and at sectional, as well as beating the Cardinals 118-58

A chunky, believable and completely delicious bolognese sauce was tossed with whole wheat pasta. The sophisticated entree had a complex, parmesan-enhanced richness slightly leavened by bits of bright tomato. Tucci’s proudly serves organically raised, grass-fed beef. This makes its great 14-ounce New York Strip Steak ($35) a relatively guilt-restrained splurge. Beautifully grill-seared, it was thick and lean but super juicy and had a mild but nice “chew.” Its very fine plate mates (garlicky sauteed spinach and mushrooms, fingerling potatoes and a fruity “cabernet demi”) were cleverly designed to keep the focus on the high-grade meat. Seafood’s prevalent here, too. It comes in various varieties and styles, but even fish eschewers probably couldn’t resist the refined fish-n-chips treatment of the Chorizo-Crusted Grouper ($23). I loved its crunchy crust (with bits of spicy sausage) and goat cheese potato cake as well as its spicy “tomato-scallion emulsion.” To finish, the buttery and caramel-y Apple Tartlette ($7) — with big clusters of candied nuts plus smoky, spicy and gingery notes — was more complex than I might’ve thought.

Tiempo Libre will play the Lincoln Theatre Friday, Feb. 18. Tickets are $30. Call (614) 469-0939. Read more from The Beat’s interview with Jorge Gomez in the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.
Gomez and his mu- mentation not typically found 10 Jorge sical compañeros were in Cuban music, resulting in going to make timba music, despite what people told them about the challenges of finding audiences for the hybrid form among U.S. audiences. In 2000, Gomez found himself in Miami, reuniting with many friends from their days playing the clubs around Havana, Cuba. They had each had classical training alongside their cultural accumulation of Latin and Afro-Cuban musical styles like son, salsa and even santeria. And from Cuba, each had traveled with their families via a different geographical path to Miami — pianist/keyboardist Gomez first to Guatemala, others to far-flung places like Argentina, Italy and Spain. The friends were making music separately, in supporting bands for a number of top acts, but decided “we had to play this music we left behind,” Gomez told The Beat. “The first thing that came into my mind was that (timba) was the only thing we could do,” he added. “That or nothing.” Timba is a modern hybrid of traditional Cuban forms with Latin jazz, featuring instru-
something “a little deeper sounding and more energetic,” Gomez explained. The friends named their new band Tiempo Libre, or “free time,” as it started out as a side project for each. Despite what they were told about their music’s potential appeal to American audiences, Tiempo Libre didn’t stay a side project for long. “In 2004 we released our first album and got our first Grammy (Award) nomination. In 2006 we released our second album and got our second Grammy nomination,” Gomez related, with a chuckle that indicated he was being less than self-aggrandizing. Of course, those who told him it wouldn’t work had to be saying “OK, OK. We get the point.” Tiempo Libre has since earned a third Grammy nomination, and timba has taken Gomez and mates around the world. “U.S., Europe, Israel, Australia. We’re always getting a lot of support,” Gomez said. “It’s like ‘Wow, we know we’re doing the right thing.’”

AEP will be back on Lane Avenue in April The American Electric Power (AEP) construction project on Lane Avenue is tentatively scheduled to resume in April, according to a news release from the city of Upper Arlington. A public meeting is expected to be held in mid-March to apprise the community of what to expect once AEP finalizes new implementation and traffic maintenance plans. The plans will be submitted for review and approval to the city’s engineering division. The work began mid-January, but was quickly shut down once it was apparent to AEP and its construction team that the first set of plans did not provide adequate access for effective and safe operations. This project is under way to install underground electric utility lines along the entire length of Lane Avenue within Upper Arlington’s boundaries, ultimately connecting a substation west of the Scioto River with a substation at Ohio State University. The project includes trenching work to in-
stall casing for the utility line, followed by work to pull the electric cable through the underground casing. Lane Avenue is scheduled for resurfacing work once AEP’s project has been successfully completed. When the project resumes, updates will be made available regularly via the city’s website, at www.uaoh.net, where it is possible to sign up for project email updates, and via the city’s Twitter (@CityofUA) and Facebook (The City of Upper Arlington) pages, among other outreach efforts. Residents and businesses along Lane Avenue will receive hand-delivered project updates to notify them when construction will be in their area, among other updates. Additionally, Paving The Way website (www.pavingtheway.org) will post regular updates on the project and any related recommendations for motorists. Questions may be directed to the city’s engineering division at 583-5360.

Surgery an option for frequent sinus problems Frequent sinus infections in children are a common problem, especially for children in daycare settings. The average child can have six to 10 upper respiratory tract infections a year that have symptoms including nasal discharge and blockage. Other factors that contribute to frequent sinus infections are environmental allergies, exposure to second-hand smoke, immunodeficiency, congenital craniofacial anomalies and some inherited conditions. Children with lung problems such as asthma and cystic fibrosis often have related sinus problems. Most viral infections will resolve without treatment. A small percentage will progress to bacterial sinusitis that will require antibiotics for treatment. Narrowing or blockage of the nasal passages or sinus openings may increase the chances that a cold will progress to bacterial sinusitis. Often, children may need medication to help treat sinus problems. This could include nasal steroids, nasal saline, mucous-thinning medications called mucolytics and some allergy medications such as anti-histamines. In a small percentage of children, surgery may be necessary to relieve the blockage and open the sinuses or nasal passages. Prior to any surgery, a thorough work-up is necessary in order to determine the appropriate treatment course. Younger children do not typically need surgery on the sinuses as their sinuses are still developing. Younger children with frequent sinus infections often have their adenoid, a patch of tissue located where the nose and throat join, re-
moved. The adenoid can be a haven for bacteria and can often block the nasal passages. Removing the adenoid is a simple and painless surgery that can be very effective. When the sinus problem CHARLES is more involved than an enELMARAGHY larged adenoid, the sinuses need to be imaged via a special X-ray called a CT scan. A CT scan is the best way to investigate the anatomy of the sinuses and determine if the openings of the sinuses are blocked. If sinus openings are blocked, they can be enlarged using special instruments and a small camera called an endoscope. This is called endoscopic sinus surgery. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Rhinology Clinic is unique in that it offers allergy testing and endoscopic evaluation during the same visit. This allows both the allergist and otolaryngologist to determine an appropriate treatment plan. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider prior to starting or stopping any treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Dr. Charles Elmaraghy is a member of the Department of Otolaryngology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of clinical otolaryngology at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
