City, IAFF may have found compromise If council, firefighters can’t agree, binding arbitration next on agenda By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington’s contract with its firefighters may be headed to binding arbitration if negotiations cannot produce a compromise. All 53 union members have voted to reject the current agreement. At the Feb. 7 city council meeting,

members voted 5-2 in favor of a new contract agreement between the city and the International Association of Fire Fighters local 1521. The initial agreement was based on the recommendations of outside and independent fact finder John Babel Jr. Council members David DeCapua and Frank Ciotola voted against the agreement, expressing concerns about

the ability of the city to afford pay increases of 3 percent for 2011 and 2012, and 2 percent in 2013. At the opening of negotiations, the union had asked for four percent increases each year. The agreement also included reductions in overtime pay from double-time to time-and-a-half and caps on pension and health care contributions. But at the center of the union’s con-

cerns, according to IAFF 1521 president Lt. Jim Mild, are issues surrounding past practices and minimum manning language. Mild explained that previous contracts have included language to protect past practices, some of which require maintaining specific staffing levels. The minimum manning language requires four firefighters per truck, which is in line

with national safety recommendations for both firefighters and victims, Mild said. The fact-finder’s recommendations removed that language from the current agreement. “There are recommended standards including a national standard of two-in See COMPROMISE, page A2

Student helps provide clean water

Business expo to focus on area’s innovative efforts By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Upper Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce will celebrate local innovative efforts in business at its annual meeting March 4. “The trajectory of business has changed forever,” said Becky Hajost, chamber president. In response to the current economic reality, the chamber — along with the city and the Community Improvement Corporation — has joined the central Ohio regional business retention task force. The Ohio Department of Development awarded regional grants to create a business crisis early-warning network. According to the ODOD website, the network will identify businesses that are at risk for layoffs and closures. Task force members re-

Caliche is a remote village located in the muddy, mountainous middle of Honduras. The 300 or so people who live there use milkylooking water collected a hole in the ground and a cement tank for drinking, bathing and washing clothes. Now, however, that water will become potable for about a third of those families, thanks to Upper Arlington High School senior Mitchell White. In January, White sold villagers more than two dozen Tulip Water Filters for $2.50 each (they actually cost White $15), the equivalent of a couple of weeks of work for the average person in Caliche. “When you sell something, they take more ownership of it, versus if it’s free, they don’t value it as much,” White said. At a medical clinic held in the village church, Spanish-speaking White demonstrated to the people how easily the filters worked by taking dirty water in a bucket and siphoning it to another bucket as 99-percent pure drinking water. He sold out of filters, and now has a waiting list.

1980 UAHS grad is running for mayor of Knoxville By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

An Upper Arlington native could become the next mayor of Knoxville. Marilyn Roddy (née Long) was born and raised in UA and graduated from Upper Arlington High School in 1980. She still comes back to UA to visit her parents, Nancy and Ron Long. But her home is now in Tennessee. After graduating from the University of North Carolina, Marilyn married Patrick Roddy and

they moved to his hometown of Knoxville, whose current population is estimated at 185,000. She taught for a while, but stayed home to raise their three daughters and became active in the com- Marilyn Roddy munity.

Politics beckoned to Roddy after she took part in a program called Leadership Knoxville. “In 2003, all three of the at-large seats were going to be open seats (due to term limits),” Roddy said. “There was this real opportunity for fresh leadership to step up and bring some new ideas to the table.

Chris Goddard, the head speech coach at Upper Arlington High School, says he sometimes compares speech and debate to what is perhaps its closest athletic equivalent, track and field. “Kids participate in individual events and points are added up,” he said. “To win team awards, you have to have people competing in all 12 or 13 categories, and they have to do well.” The UAHS speech and debate team placed fifth at the Feb. 5 Tarhe Trails district tournament, finishing .75 points behind Perrysburg High School. Six members of the team qualified for the Ohio High School Speech League state tournament, to be held at Whitmer High School March 35. “Winning is nice,” Goddard said. “But that’s not our main focus.

Goddard’s coaching career spans 19 years, with 14 years at UAHS and five years at Gahanna. “We do it because we think the kids are going to learn confidence, they’re going to learn speaking skills, they’re going to learn lots of practical things they can use in life,” he said. Dan Ludlum, Cheri Theisen and Abbey Wood serve as assistant coaches. In recent years, the speech and debate team has had about 35 members, with around 27 competing at an average tournament. Goddard said participation has dropped overall, and that for several years, the team had closer to 50 members. “When I look back, the two main things I did in high school

COMPROMISE

Continued from page A1

It was the fifth time White has been to the Central American nation to help the needy with medical assistance and building homes through the Xenia, Ohio-based organization Heart to Honduras. “We are very thankful for Mitch,” said Gordon Garrett, president of Heart to Honduras. “He has really taken to heart the focus of the vision of our ministry to serve the poor, to help provide sustainable projects that make a longterm difference for the people of Honduras. “Just by providing clean water for multiple families up there — truly only the Lord knows what impact that will have on the health of children and families in years to come.” “From going on all these trips, I’ve developed a passion for the people,” White said. “For what little that they have, they are very thankful. One thing that I’ve noticed is that they really are in a dire need of clean water.” White raised funds, purchase the filters from overseas and packed them in the basement of the Upper Arlington Lutheran Church to take to Honduras. He and other Heart to Honduras members took a four-hour cattle truck ride to get to Caliche. “If it’s rained recently, you have to canoe a river and hike up to it,”

and two-out,” fire division spokesman Dan Kochensparger said. “Before making entry there should be two firefighters ready to make entry and two in standby and support.” This is not a requirement, he said, but the four firefighters per truck makes possible the current service levels that residents are used to. Both Mild and Kochensparger stated that, even with the current staffing levels, the city relies heavily on mutual-aid response, an agreement with neighboring departments to help fill the gaps when a department doesn’t have enough manpower or equipment to respond to an emergency For the city, every fire call requires mutual aid because the required minimum equipment is two fire engines (the city has one), one ladder truck, one medic truck and a fire chief. “The last time there were budgetary issues, the city decommissioned one of its two fire engines,” Mild said. “Some of the firefighters on that engine were then moved to other equipment and the minimum manning language was put in place to provide the level of safety and service we have today.” According to Kochensparger,

Mitchell White displays some of the water filters he took to Honduras. The lack of clean potable water is a health issue there.

White said. “That’s why they have such limited resources, because no mission teams really want to travel there. Recently, the Upper Arlington Lutheran Church made them a sister church, and so hopefully more teams will be able to go down there now.” The college-bound student is using the experience for his Capstone Project, but White hopes to continue to provide water filters for Hondurans, “partly because I love doing it, partly because I love Honduras. It’s a resume-builder and it’s something I enjoy doing.” His mother, Jennifer White, is a pediatrician who has taken 20 trips to Honduras herself. “Because I’ve been going a number of years, I’ve taken all three of my sons with me starting

in eighth grade,” Jennifer White said. “They’re mature enough to go at that age.” She said Mitchell saw all the dysentery, scabies, impetigo and other problems associated with not having clean water. She said he determined that the least expensive way to solve the problem was with the Tulip Water Filter. “I’m just really proud of Mitchell that he saw a need, he looked at the options, brainstormed, tackled a problem, figured it out and got it done,” Jennifer White said. “It’s been fun, but I’m glad to get the filters out of my basement. I’m glad to have them where they can be used.” For more information, visit www.hth.org/2011 and type “tulip” under search.

there currently is no discussion of fire staff reductions based on the outcome of the union contract, because the 2011 and 2012 budgets are already set for both current staff sizes and programs. On Feb. 18, Mild and union attorneys met with the city to present a compromise agreement. “The firefighters came back with a very realistic offer which we’ll outline for council,” said assistant city manager Joe Valentino. “Our administration thinks there is a lot of common ground but the negotiations are not complete. There are still a couple of points to hammer out — but we’re very close.” Mild agreed. “Things went well today and I think some middle ground can be found,” he said Friday. “I believe we can come to a settlement before going to arbitration.” This current compromise agreement was to have been presented to city council in an executive session during the Feb. 22 coun-

cil meeting, after ThisWeek’s press deadline. Valentino said the city is still well within the time frame for negotiating a settlement before transitioning to the binding arbitration process, which can take several months. The next step will be for city council to decide how it wants to proceed with the current union response. Both the union membership and city council will have to vote to accept any compromise agreement before the contract can be completed.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen THE “COCKTAIL PARTY EFFECT” Scientists have long wondered how the brain is able to pick out one speaker’s voice in voice -filled rooms. This phenomenon known as the “cocktail party effect” enables us to carry on a conversation in loud environments. Recently, research involving birds has provided some important clues. To find out how zebra finches pick out one voice in a cacophonous crowd, scientists studied their brains while the birds listened to audio recordings. This work led to the discovery of individual brain cells that, in a sense, acted like dogs listening for their master’s voice. Other cells scanned long stretches of sound looking for a particular vocal feature. If human brains have similar cells, it may lead to advances in hearing instrument technologies. People who have normal hearing in both ears - known as binaural hearing - are better able to hear well in noisy environments, since the brain uses the information received from each ear to localize a sound source. If you have noticed a significant decrease in your ability to hear out of one or both ears, call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS at 614-654-4309 to schedule a comprehensive hearing exam. We will explain any impairment we diagnose and recommend the appropriate hearing instrument for your particular condition. Our office is located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

Art gallery’s owner upbeat about move from Grandview to German Village By GARY SEMAN JR. Citing a need to reawaken her passion, Caren Petersen is moving A Muse Gallery to German Village. “I think it will be exciting,” Petersen said.” We just needed to shake things up a bit.” The fine-arts art gallery, located at 996 W. Third Ave. in the Grandview Heights area for the last 12 years, will open in German Village by appointment only on March 1, with an open house slated for March 18. The new 1,200-square-foot space at 188-190 E. Whittier St. will be split into two rooms, one for A Muse Gallery, which will be shortened to Muse Gallery, and Circle Gallery, a high-end,

“I think that’s important because if I’m not enthusiastic about it, it’s just business,” she said. Petersen herself will make a move to the area, taking up residence in the Brewery District. In 2007, she opened a gallery in Taos, New Mexico, which closed in September. “The economy was the deciding factor,” she said. “Time was the other.” A Muse Gallery has been known for showcasing cuttingedge, mid-career contemporary artists. “It’s all original, one-of-a-kind pieces,” Petersen said. “We don’t do any print work or artists who have gone to print.” Hali Robinson, Petersen’s daughter, will stay on as manager of Muse Gallery. She said the

relocation is an important change for the gallery’s image. “I think the move to German Village will create a new buzz for us,” Robinson said.

As It were

Industry makes slow but steady progress in the city In the years before the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861, Columbus, the capital of the state of Ohio, was more than the symbolic center of state power and authority. Created by the Ohio General Assembly to be the new capital city in 1812, the town had grown very slowly at first and as late as 1830, only had little more than 2,000 residents. Then the National Road and Ohio Canal reached central Ohio and by 1834, Columbus was a city of 5,000 people. But even that new and bustling city seemed to make most of its money in transportation and trade. Reading of the men who were the early successes in Columbus enterprise, one comes away with the distinct impresED sion that the LENTZ best way to earn money was to serve the Ohio General Assembly with room and board, move people and products from place to place, or meet the needs of the people who did such things. A few examples might suffice to illustrate this point. William Neil came to Columbus in 1818 and soon got into the stagecoach business. Leaving his wife to run a small tavern across from the Statehouse, Neil would eventually build an empire on wheels and become known as the “Stagecoach King.” Lincoln Goodale was a practicing physician who found that there was not a lot of demand for doctors in the new town. He eventually opened a store and made a lot of money. As a gesture of gratitude to his adopted town, he gave Columbus its first park — Goodale Park. And then there was Alfred Kelley. Representing Cleveland and then Columbus in the legislature, Kelley also found time to ensure the completion of the Ohio Canal, the reform of Ohio’s banks and the construction of more than one railroad. If we add to these examples the stories of bankers such as David Deshler and lawyers such as Orris Parish, one might conclude that Columbus was a place where people made their money providing services rather than making things. And this would be true — but only partly true. Like most capital cities across America, most of the economic

history of the city is the story of a highly diversified economy with some people working in government, others in trade and still others in transportation. And composing another significant part of the workforce were people employed in manufacturing. When Columbus was an isolated frontier village, many of the goods people needed and could not make themselves were purchased from local craftsmen — the blacksmith, the gunsmith, the miller and that old frontier standby, the whisky distiller. But with the arrival of the Ohio Canal in the 1830s and railroads in the 1850s, it became possible to import raw materials such as iron and timber to a central place like Columbus and ship finished products from that place to a waiting world. It was not long before a number of people began to do just that. Most early factories in Columbus were relatively small in size and employed dozens rather than hundreds of workers in a few sturdy buildings. It was no accident that most of them soon came to be located near a ready source of water — the Scioto River. The kind of products made by these early factories says something about the needs of the people of central Ohio. The oldest successful manufacturing company in Columbus was begun in 1822 by a man named Joseph Ridgway. Initially using horses to provide power to his foundry, Ridgway began to produce Jethro Wood’s Patent Plow. It was later said of Ridgway by a local writer in the 1850s that “… he made and sold an immense number. It was considered the best plow in use.” In 1830, Ridgway joined with a nephew to finance the conversion of his factory to steam power and begin the production of machinery, steam engines, cast iron stoves and other products. In 1849,

the Ridgways joined with a man named Pearl Kimball in a new business making railroad cars. Joseph Ridgway died in 1850 and Kimball later operated the car company on his own. Ridgway’s foundry business passed in 1854 to another entrepreneur, Peter Hayden. Hayden had come to Columbus in the 1830s and begun a number of enterprises. He started a business making saddles and other equipment for horses, using the labor of prisoners at the nearby Ohio Penitentiary. At the same time, he opened his own foundry producing bar iron, hoop iron and wire from pig iron and scrap iron. Eventually, Hayden and his family would also invest heavily in the coal and iron fields of southeastern Ohio. In 1838, John Gill and others built Gill’s Foundry with about 25 workers on the west side of the Scioto and developed a good business making stoves and other iron goods. In 1855, the company began making a combination steel plow that sold quite well and later began making railroad cars as well. In 1849, Charles Ambos and James Lennox started the Eagle Foundry with $8,000. When the business was sold in 1854, the foundry became a joint stock company under the name of the Columbus Machine Manufacturing Co. Employing more than 125 men, it provided the iron for the roof of the new Statehouse as well as all of the iron ceilings and railings in the building. And while all of this was going on, other factories were making other sorts of goods. Two men named Brotherlin and Halm began producing chairs and cabinetware by steam-powered machinery in 1853. Another company began making wooden hollowware — tubs and pails, primarily — in a factory along the river in 1856. By 1858, there were others. A local description reported that they included Ohlen and Drake’s steampowered saw factory, Hines and Miller’s steam-powered paper mill, and Butlers’ coffee- and spicegrinding mill. And almost as an afterthought, the author noted that there were “two extensive breweries at the south end of the city.” All of these enterprises contributed importantly to the success of Columbus. In all, they employed several hundred men, many of them recent immigrants from Ireland and Germany who worked alongside recent arrivals — black and white — from rural Ohio. These new factories formed the beginnings of industry in Columbus and a pattern of industrial growth and success that has continued to the present day.

DEBATE TEAM

RODDY

Continued from page A1

were speech and debate and yearbook,” he said. Students today are pulled in a variety of directions, and may be attracted to other similar opportunities, like mock trial and model United Nations, Goddard said. “I always tell my students, even if you don’t pick debate, I think you should work on being really good at a few things instead of just okay at a bunch of stuff,” he said. Sophomore Tao Quan agrees. “I’ve always had something that I’ve tried to excel at after school,” he said. Quan used to play chess competitively and also plays the piano, but he says much of his current extra-curricular time is devoted to international extemporaneous speaking. He also qualified for state his freshman year. This year, he hopes to advance to the quarterfinal round. “I think I have the potential to get farther than that, but I have to see,” he said. “It’s really the luck of the draw.” In international extemporaneous speaking, competitors must answer a foreign affairs question with a seven-minute speech. They are given 30 minutes to write and practice the speech using research materials gathered prior to the tournament. “It’s hard, but I enjoy that it’s challenging,” Quan said. “You’re always worried that you’ll get a question you don’t know anything about. It’s kind of an adrenaline rush for a speechie.” Sophomores Michael Coyle and Niki Ahmadi, who compete as a team in public forum debate, will be making their first trip to the state tournament. Public forum debate requires participants to be able to argue both sides of an issue. “You have to argue against your own views a lot,” Coyle said. At the state tournament, the duo must be prepared to argue either side of the resolution that North Korea poses a more serious threat to United States national security

into a seat with an incumbent, with the old-time political machine, I probably would have been much less likely to do that.” The primary takes place Sept. 27, with the two top vote-getters going to a run-off election Nov. 8. “A lot of snowbirds and Ohioans have driven through Knoxville,” Roddy said. “We get a lot of through traffic, and Knoxville did host a World’s Fair in 1982. Roddy said that as mayor of Knoxville, among her challenges will be to “continue to be fiscally responsible in tight budget times, and to build a city that offers great services to its citizens while still making it affordable and efficient. “In that same vein,” she said, “we’ve got to continue to attract great talent to work for our city.” Like other cities, Knoxville is dealing with weather issues — spending more money on salt than it had budgeted. “People laugh at southerners and how we can’t drive in the snow, but the reality is we frequently are skating around on a layer of ice, with a little snow sprinkled on top just for fun.” Roddy said she is leading the other candidates in fundraising. “I’ve told people it takes some big donations to get off the starting block, but it takes a whole lot of 20-dollar bills to get you to the finish line.” You can follow the Roddy campaign via her website, www.marilynroddy.com, or her Facebook page, Marilyn Roddy for Mayor.

than Iraq. “Since it’s our first year, we’re going to work hard and do our best,” Ahmadi said. Coyle said they also hope to “attain some respect” for future years of competition. Junior Polina Brodsky, senior Perry Kleinhenz and junior Stephen Trudeau all qualified for state in the category of impromptu speaking. Goddard said Kleinhenz has placed first at every tournament he competed in this season. “I’m not sure we’ve ever had that happen before,” he said. Goddard said he’s pleased with the team’s accomplishments overall. “We didn’t win as much as we normally win, but the team is younger,” he said. “Our freshman, their first year, they’re competing

against seniors who have done it for four years. “We have a really good group of younger students that you can just see are going to be so much better next year and the year after.” khetrick@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Engagement

February 24, 2011

INNOVATION Koch, Cooper to exchange vows Stephanie Koch, daughter of Pamela and Donald Koch of Powell, and Andrew Cooper, son of Molly and Robert Cooper of Upper Arlington, have announced their engagement and plans to be married. The couple plans a May 7 wedding to be held at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church. The bride-to-be graduated from Bishop Watterson High School in 2004 and from Ohio State University in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree. She is employed by the Ohio Association for Justice. The future groom is a 2000 graduate of Upper Arlington High School and a 2005 graduate of Ohio University with a bachelor’s degree. He is a healthcare recruiter.

Continued from page A1 ing to the chamber, “will leverage central Ohio´s research and academic institutions and diverse industries to position Columbus to become the fastest growing economy in the country and one of the nation’s leaders in economic development.” The Columbus Partnership’s website states that McDonald joined the organization after serving seven years as the executive vice president of the Charlotte Regional Partnership, a public-private economic development organization in the Carolinas. In that role, he led a nationally recognized economic development program that successfully attracted many domestic and international companies to locate in the Charlotte region, while also fostering high value job creation through their existing industry support programs. “We are excited to hear what Kenny has to say about how UA fits into Columbus2020!,” Hajost said. The chamber’s board chairs also will provide a year-in-review report in a unique “inside the chamber studio” format.

This year the event moves to the University Plaza Hotel on Olentangy River Road, after having outgrown the space at Hastings Middle School, where the event was hosted in previous years. More than 20 Upper Arlington businesses will have booths at the expo in the University Plaza Hotel atrium. The expo is open to the public. Those attending will have the opportunity to get to know their local businesses while enjoying cocktails and snacks. Businesses can reserve a spot in the expo by contacting the chamber at 614-481-5720. The business expo will begin at 4 p.m., and the awards ceremony and speaker will follow at 6:30 p.m. The expo and awards ceremony are free and open to the public. For individuals interested in the formal dinner, the year-in-review presentation and the keynote address, tickets are available through the chamber for $50 a seat. “I’m so pleased that this event continues to be a great opportunity to recognize businesses in the city and the great work they do,” said Joe Valentino, assistant city manager. “Anytime we can lift up our local businesses it is a good thing.”

The Chinaberry tree was, for a time, a popular, low-budget tree used for ornamental purposes, most often in the southern United States. Singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell recalled how the trees lined the housing development in the Houston neighborhood in which he grew up — a significant enough memory that he named his new book, a memoir of sorts, Chinaberry Sidewalks. “The book is not at all about Rodney Crowell the songwriter,” he said. “It’s about my childhood growing up in Houston. “It’s mostly about the arc of my parents’ marriage,” he said. “My mother and father were the son and daughter of sharecroppers, with seventh/eighth grade educations.

As kids, we used to have Chinaberry wars.” Crowell said he was deliberate in moving the content of the book away from his career as a singer and songwriter — a career that has seen him boast hit records and have his songs recorded by countless artists, including Waylon Jennings, Alan Jackson, Crystal Gayle, Heart, Keith Urban, Bob Seger, the Oak Ridge Boys, Tim McGraw and more. The book, he said, is not merely a companion piece to his records for fans. “There are stories (in the book) about music, but only as it applies as part of my environment,” Crowell added, explaining that he didn’t feel a book of stories about his career “was going to garner a readership.” “I don’t want to sound insulting to the loyalty of my fans, but I don’t think of myself as an iconic star,” Crowell said. “I was going to sustain a relationship with readers with my ability to tell stories.

“With the book I discovered I couldn’t slack off,” he said, further explaining that “the narrative has to be maintained. “That kind of day-in-day-out work is a sharp thing for a songwriter to do, to maintain.” His one-man tour is not your standard book tour, either. “I read excerpts from the book, I tell stories, I sing songs,” he said. “It was a lot of work on presentation and pacing.” Crowell did the audio version of the book himself, which gave him the opportunity to hear how stories and segments of stories sounded out loud. Additionally, he was able to make notes on how he would present the excerpts, both finding a balance between serious and humorous selections and also how he would weave the elements together into a live show. “I have to kind of free-form a background of a story into the different segments of the book,” he said. “Then those passages had to be extended so that the audience is given a similar taste of each song.” For more from The Beat’s interview with Rodney Crowell, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.

Get your Irish up at P.K. O’Ryan’s in Worthington Unlike several of its competitors, P.K. O’Ryan’s wasn’t built in Ireland and reassembled over here. And this tiny Irish-themed pub doesn’t feature self-consciously eccentric seating in a splashy and sprawling setting. No, P.K. O’Ryan’s is just a neighborhoody place where actual locals gather to sip, chat and sup. Maybe that’s why P.K.’s feels more like an authentic Irish pub than its built-in-Ireland, chainy brethren. Located in quaint Old Worthington, P.K.’s is the kind of place where on a lazy Sunday, gentlemen have lunch with a pint and The New York Times and ladies roll in for an entree salad. On a weeknight with the Buckeyes on TV, the comfy pub — which appropriates a cozy, pilsner-colored glow for evening lighting — gets a bit more ani-

While P.K.’s is connected to a larger, more regulation restaurant, since I prefer its taverny aspect, I suggest you sit on that side (unless you’ve got the peewee basketball team in tow) — just follow the shamrocks to the pub entry. Then plop down at a semirickety (in a good way) wooden bench with a padded back or belly up to the well-used wooden bar, which is the color of Guinness stout. P.K.’s food is just solid pub grub, but some of its stuff stands out. The “so wrong they’re right” Irish Nachos ($8) fit that standout category.

Irish nachos and Irish stew in a bread bowl at P.K. O’Ryan’s Restaurant and Pub.

A massive pile of just-fried, dark and crispy kettle-style potato chips arrived decorated a la reuben sandwich. Yes, shredded

bits of commendably houseroasted corned beef (though I would have liked more), sauerkraut, a decent Swiss cheese sauce and snipped scallions lent tons of salty and irresistible character to the good chips (Thousand Island was on the side for dipping). Also good — if less wild — was the homemade chili ($4). Meaty, thick and hearty, it was made with black beans and seemed about 85 percent ground beef — a righteous ratio. For a lighter starter, the house salad ($4.50) wasn’t bad. While it’s not something you’ll be thinking about long afterward, neither is it a total blowoff. Good sized and assembled with fresh romaine (no iceberg), it was sprinkled with shredded cheese, tomato, onions and boxed croutons and got a bit of distinction from

A huge, housemade bread bowl was loaded with a soulful, potatoheavy stew of tender pot roast, sweet onions, carrots and a thick, Guinness-sloshed beefy gravy. What’s a homemade Irish sheet cake?

Restaurant with Southwestern flair opens in Merion Village Robin Emrick is happy to say there isn’t anything quite like Coyote Jane’s in her immediate neighborhood — or beyond. The Merion Village restaurant, 1586 S. High St., is based on a simple premise: affordable, homemade Santa Fe cuisine and festive drinks in a laid-back environment. Emrick, the chef and co-owner, said that while the cuisine has its roots in the artsy New Mexico capital, it melds global ingredients. “My cooking style is to mesh different flavors that nobody else would think of putting together,” she said. Yet the bill of fare, in which everything is currently priced less than $10, has been subject to vast interpretations. “It’s not Mexican,” she said. “The menu right now is a little misunderstood.” So, in short, expect the unexpected. The “Hop Sing” green chili burger, for example, uses 8 ounces of Angus beef topped with deep-fried jalapenos, sharp cheddar and green chili agave pesto on grilled brioche. The steak chili uses a splash of Jack Daniels and is touched off with a drizzle of Mexican chipotle chocolate. There are tacos, burritos (called burros) and deep-fried burritos, otherwise known as chimichangas. Many have Coyote Jane’s signature touch, such as the “poppy shrimp” tacos, filled with deep-fried buttermilk popcorn shrimp, a traditional garnish and cayenne mayo. The signature cocktail is the grilled watermelon sidecar —– tequila, agave syrup, grilled watermelon and fresh mint. An unconventional version of a bloody Mary offers shrimp and pickled egg. After leasing the building in March, the

restaurant had a few stutter steps because of liquor license and permitting issues. It is open dinner only until March 1, when lunch hours are introduced. Emrick said she will have an entirely new lunch menu while adding some entrees at dinner. Emrick is a partner and chef in the Banana Bean Café, which got its start in Schumacher Place and later moved to Greenlawn Avenue. Her other business associates are Angela Caskey, also part of the founding partnership of Banana Bean and Skillet, and Jane Ann Wentzel, whose name served as the inspiration for the new restaurant. The building, at the northeast corner of High and East Morrill Avenue, had been home to Craters Restaurant and Bar for about 25 years. Then, the Eagle bar had been in business for about six months before Coyote Jane’s moved in. Emrick said she liked the look of the place: wooden floors, exposed brick and a cozy dining space. She shortened the bar and added several Southwest appointments for a rustic look. The dining room seats about 30 and the bar space seats another 25. “I’ve been down here for 15 years,” she said. “I’ve seen Merion Village grow in the last 10 years. And the people want something different.” Coyote Jane’s is open five days a week, closed Sunday and Monday. For more information, call 614-444-5460. Correction: Because of a reporter’s error, the Economic and Community Development Institute was incorrectly identified in last week’s edition of Table Talk.

■ The Powell dining scene has grown dramatically in recent years. Keile Baney isn’t worried. The chef of the Liberty Tavern says he tries to stay on top of the competition by giving diners a large variety of dishes at reasonable prices. “We have a regular crowd and they’re not afraid to tell us what they Keile Baney want,” he said. Customers can get everything from grilled mahi mahi over risotto to the Tavern “stacker” – a burger crowned with barbecue pork, bacon, cheddar and onion rings. “We have a little bit of everything,” said Baney, now a contributor to Food & Wine. Baney said his real passion is smoking. Tavern patrons are treated to frequent smoked specials, including brisket, turkey and pork shoulder. A native of rural Erie, Penn., Baney is a 12-year veteran of the restaurant industry, working in Pennsylvania, Michigan and locally at such places as Hyde Park.

DiBenedetto, Lowrey advance to district By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington High School wrestling coach Grant McCormick didn’t hide his disappointment after the 13-team Division I sectional tournament on Feb. 19 at Marysville. The Golden Bears scored 48.5 points to finish sixth behind champion Marysville (105.5), and they advanced only two athletes to district on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25-26, at Hilliard Darby. The top four in each weight class advanced. “This was absolutely terrible. It was the worst day of coaching I’ve ever had,” McCormick said. “This was an epic collapse for us.” Sophomore Kenji Gerhardt, who was 24-4 at 103 pounds entering sectional, suffered a thumb injury in his second match and lost by injury default.

Bears turn focus to tourney UA settles for share of OCC title after suffering first loss By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Upper Arlington High School boys basketball team missed its opportunity to post its second consecutive undefeated regular season as well as win the OCC-Central Division championship outright for the second year in a row. But instead of dwelling on their 55-49 overtime loss to visiting Dublin Coffman on Feb. 18, the Golden Bears are focusing on what they need to do to make a deep run in the Division I district tournament. UA, seeded third behind Westerville South and Northland, had a first-round bye and plays Briggs or Thomas Worthington in the second round at 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25, at Hilliard Bradley. “I told the guys that we can turn this into a positive,” coach Tim Casey said after the

Winner plays in district semifinal, 2:30 p.m. March 5 at Fairgrounds Coliseum. UA is the third seed. Of note: The Bears are 19-1 overall and finished 13-1 (tied for first with Coffman) in the OCC-Central. Thomas Worthington finished third in the league at 9-5, followed by Hilliard Davidson (7-7), Hilliard Darby (5-9), Worthington Kilbourne (5-9), Central Crossing (2-12) and Westland (2-12). *OCC-Central game

loss to Coffman, which tied UA for first in the OCC-Central at 13-1. “We need to let it strengthen us and make us realize how we need to play. If it does that then I will take a loss now with a win down the road. (The postseason) is the season that really matters.” UA went 19-0 in the regular season last year, its first undefeated regular season since 1946-47. Then, after a first-round bye in the district tournament, the Bears defeated Pickerington Central 34-33 in the second round

as the fourth seed before losing to fifth-seeded Coffman 50-48 in a district semifinal. The Bears had won 38 consecutive regular-season games before the latest loss to Coffman. “One game is not going to make or break a season,” senior guard Brian Sullivan said. “I know last year we got into the hype of the regular season too much. We decided this year that we’re not going to get too up or too down about the regular season. We’re just going to keep our eyes on the target.” That target is a district championship. If UA advances, it likely would play 10th-seeded Olentangy Orange or 12th-seeded Mount Vernon in a district semifinal March 5 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum and likely would face second-seeded Northland in a district final March 11 at the Fairgrounds. UA could’ve been the first team into one of the three district brackets at the tournament draw Feb. 13 but opted to go into the same bracket as Northland, which was ranked third in the state poll last week. “There’s a strategy behind it,” Sullivan said. “We just felt that teams are going to

The Upper Arlington High School boys swimming and diving team has 49 district championships to its credit, but perhaps none was bigger than the one the Golden Bears won Feb. 19 at Ohio State. UA ended a five-year districttitle drought by scoring 432.5 points to finish ahead of runnerup St. Charles (347.5), ending the Cardinals’ four-year run of district championships. “It took us five years, but that doesn’t make any of this any less fantastic,” said sophomore Joey Long, who captured district championships in the 200-yard freestyle (1 minute, 42.45 seconds) and 500 free (4:34.99). “It means we’re moving in the right direction now. Everyone is giving it all they have.” “It’s been a goal for these kids for five years,” first-year coach Mike de Bear said. “None of these guys were even in eighth grade when we last won the district title.” The boys team advanced eight swimmers in 13 events and all three relays to the state meet, which runs Thursday, Feb. 24, through Saturday, Feb. 26. The top three finishers in each swimming event and the top four divers at district automatically qualified for state. In addition, 11 at-large state berths were awarded based on times statewide. Long, who is seeded sixth at state in the 500 free and seventh in the 200 free, placed fifth at state in the 500 free (4:38.62) last year. “It’s amazing how loud it is,” Long said of the state meet. “The

entire stands are filled and everyone is just screaming throughout the whole meet. You have to be ready for it.” The boys team is seeded in the top 10 at state in nine events, including all three relays. At district, junior Sean Neri placed first in the 100 backstroke (52.4) and junior Adam Rabe won the 100 breaststroke (58.29). Neri and Rabe then teamed with Long and junior Ryan Cutler to win the 400 free relay (3:09.57). The Bears captured the top four spots in the 100 back with freshman Thomas Trace (53.15), sophomore Max Jelen (53.32) and senior Alex Chin (53.48) following Neri. UA placed third (187) at state last year behind Cincinnati St. Xavier (228) and Toledo St. Francis (218). “We will be in the battle to get in the finals (at state),” de Bear said. “If you can hold your time or drop just a little bit, you’re going to move up. We’ve talked about not looking ahead or living behind. You live in the moment. Our next moment is going to be Friday morning.” •The girls team is seeking its seventh consecutive state title. UA turned in a dominating performance at district, scoring 505 points to finish well ahead of runner-up Watterson (240) and thirdplace Thomas Worthington (201). It was the 12th consecutive district championship for the Bears. “There are a lot of people who want to beat us, but I think we can do it,” junior Lauren Comer said. “A lot of people don’t like us because we have won so many titles, but we keep training hard, believing in ourselves and doing See SWIMMING, page B4

Wellington Roundup

Tugaoen, relay earn state swim berths By PAUL BATTERSON

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In reality, it took only a few seconds before the top three finishers in the 400-yard freestyle relay at the Division II girls district championship were listed on the scoreboard Feb. 18 at Ohio State. But for the members of the Wellington School girls swimming and diving team, it may have seemed like an eternity. First, Granville’s winning time of 3 minutes, 37.68 seconds was posted. Then, the time for secondplace Columbus Academy (3:46.72) was posted. Finally, after a slight pause, a No. 3 appeared next to Wellington’s name, as the Jaguars finished third in 3:53.59. “From where we were on the deck, you couldn’t see the rest of the field,” said senior Abby Postle, who swam the event along with sophomore Jenna Tugaoen, senior Anna Viragh and sophomore Annie Miller. “I watched the ‘1’ and ‘2’ pop up there and then to see that third go up was amazing.” The top four in each swimming event and top two in diving at district automatically qualified for the state meet, which began Feb. 23 and runs through Friday, Feb. 25, at the C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. “All four of the girls swam a personal best (at district),” coach Bill Miller said of the 400 free relay, the program’s first relay to qualify for state. “I’ve been telling them all week you can only control what you can do. That’s been our theme all week. Do your job and do what you can do. Swim your best and see where everything ends up.” “It’s the nicest feeling,” Viragh said of qualifying for state in a relay. “It’s not just you alone in the pool. If you’re in an individual event, you just let yourself down. When you’re working together as a team. it motivates you more. I know there are other girls relying on me and that makes it better.” Also qualifying for state for the girls team was Tugaoen in the 100 backstroke, after placing fourth in the event at district in 1:00.26. “I can’t even explain how happy I am to finally, finally make it to state,” said Tugaoen, a first-time state qualifier who entered district as the top seed. “Being the top seed put a lot more pressure on me, but I am happy with fourth and I am happy to move on.”

Wellington’s Jonathan Robinson drives to the basket against Grove City Christian’s Derek Vaughn on Feb. 18. The Jaguars plays Gahanna Christian in the first round of the Division IV tournament.

The girls team scored 140 points at district to finish sixth behind champion Granville (368). No members of the boys team advanced to state. The Jaguars scored 45 points at district to finish 16th behind champion Granville (256). •The girls basketball team lost to third-seeded Gilead Christian 40-27 in the second round of the Division IV district tournament on Feb. 16 to finish 7-14. Wellington had beaten Horizon

Science Academy 54-52 in overtime in the first round two days earlier. “Our girls played well,” coach Tysha Crump said. “If we could have gotten a couple of shots to drop, it would have been any even closer game. But our girls fought to the end.” The Jaguars lose only one senior in Grace Korandovich, a 5foot-9 forward. She played sporadically after tearing a ligament in her right foot days before the

season opener against Columbus School for Girls on Nov. 30. However, her doctor advised her to sit out the second half of the season to let the injury heal. “Grace provided great leadership even when she wasn’t playing,” Crump said. “When she

played, she was all over the floor, sometimes guarding more than one person at a time. She would dive on the floor for the loose ball. “We definitely missed not having her there on the floor, but her presence was still there.” In Korandovich’s absence, juniors Sophie Knowles (5-9, forward) and Aris Troy (5-9, guard) stepped up, according to Crump. Knowles averaged 10 points and scored 19, including a Jaguar Invitational-record five 3 pointers in a 45-30 victory over Willoughby Andrews Osborne 45-30 on Jan 22, and had 23 points in the district-tournament win over Horizon Science Academy. Troy scored 21 points against Horizon Science Academy. “This has definitely been a team effort,” Crump said. “It was great just to see the leadership from everyone.

BOYS 53-52 on Jan. 14, trailed the Shamrocks 32-24 at halftime in the rematch, which was played in front of a standing-room-only crowd. The Bears trailed by 12 points early in the third quarter before going on a 19-7 run to tie the game at 43 with 4:03 left. With the score tied at 48, Coffman guard Christian Heine missed a shot with three seconds left, sending the game to overtime. In overtime, UA missed all eight shots from the field, including five taken by Sullivan, and was outscored 7-1. “We were getting the looks we wanted (in overtime),” Sullivan said. “I got three or four open shots, but I didn’t knock them down. It’s basketball. What are you going to do?” “We couldn’t get the shots to go,” Casey said. “But (Sullivan) has taken us on his back all year. We certainly want the ball in his hands making plays at the end of a game. I have no problem with him trying to make plays.” Sullivan had 23 points to lead the Bears. Richter had 11 and junior guard Carter Smith scored seven. Heine led Coffman with 20 points, while guards Zack Riddle and Matt DiThomas added 14 and 12 points, respectively. “Give credit where credit is due,” said Sullivan, who scored 29 points in the first meeting with Coffman. “They shot the ball better, and in the first half we were a little disoriented on defense. But we still put ourselves in position to win.” “We’ve got to do a better job guarding the basketball,” Casey said. “That was our biggest downfall.”

Golden Bears fall

Upper Arlington’s Neil McKenzie (right) battles St. Charles’ Ryan Cleary for the puck during their game Jan. 7. The season for the eighth-seeded Golden Bears ended with a 2-1 loss to Olentangy on Feb. 20 in the district tournament.

The Warriors have been led by Lou Nickel, who has averaged 9.4 points the last five games.

The Bears have not played North or Liberty since the 200708 season when it defeated Liberty 56-48 in the second round of the tournament before losing to North 55-48 in a semifinal. UA outscored Grove City 195 in the second quarter to build a 35-14 lead over the Greyhounds, who finished 2-19.

If we keep playing like that, we have a chance to go deep into the tournament.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

I think (the draw) worked out about as well as it could for us. We just have to play well.” UA, which last won a district title in 2007, has not played Briggs this season but swept Thomas in OCC-Central play, winning 65-39 on Dec. 7 and 45-43 on Jan. 21. The Cardinals improved to 14-6 with a 62-32 win over Worthington Kilbourne on Feb. 18. Briggs fell to 8-12 with a 6257 loss to Whetstone on Feb. 15 despite having four players score in double figures, including Deangelo Gray (12), Keevon Pitman (12) and Julien Muse (11). “Briggs has got some guys who can do some things,” Casey said. “They’ve got some athletes. But I anticipate that we’ll probably play Thomas.” In the latter contest against Thomas, UA trailed 27-15 at halftime before rallying in the second half. Sullivan had 25 points, including the winning basket with less than three seconds left, and senior post player Wes Richter scored 10. Jordan Cowgill, a 6-foot-10 junior post player, and Julian Henderson each scored 13 points to pace Thomas. “Playing a team three times is never easy, but I think we’re hungrier (to be successful in the tournament) than we were last year,” Sullivan said. “We’re ready to pdolan@thisweeknews.com go.” UA, which defeated Coffman www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

his squad’s overall performance, McCormick was thrilled with Vito DiBenedetto (130), who went 31 to place third, and James Lowrey (189), who went 2-2 to place fourth. “Both of them are second-year wrestlers, but they’re two of our hardest workers in the wrestling room, so it isn’t a coincidence that they both made it through,” McCormick said. “They wrestled great.” Lowrey opened by pinning Hilliard Davidson’s Alex Backenstoe in 3:49. He then lost to Mount Vernon’s Nate Fry 12-8, pinned Thomas Worthington’s Max King in 0:51 and was pinned

by Marysville’s Morgan Miller in 4:07. DiBenedetto opened with a 97 win over Darby’s Tyler Perkins. He then lost to Whetstone’s Marcus Moore 16-8, pinned Mount Vernon’s Teddy Hagans in 3:33 and defeated Davidson’s Nick Lawler 7-4. “I’m happy I made it, and I want to give thanks to my coaches and parents for supporting me,” DiBenedetto said. “I’m going to work on fixing as many of my flaws as possible, and I’m going to listen to my coaches and keep trying hard.” The top four placers in each weight class at district qualify for the state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State.

Last year, the Golden Bears scored five points to place 39th in the 44-team Division I district tournament at Darby behind champion Marysville (188.5). “I want both of them to have fun and wrestle their best,” McCormick said of DiBenedetto and Lowrey. “We’re going to work on cleaning up some little stuff such as positioning, and more importantly, I want them to be aggressive and trust themselves to do the right things out there. This experience should be a nice springboard for their careers moving forward.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
