Bob Evans move is boon for village By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Local officials are excited to welcome Bob Evans Farms to New Albany. The company announced last week its intention of moving its headquarters to New Albany from the south side of Columbus sometime in the next two years.

“It’s fantastic for the village and one of the best pieces of news we’ve had in years,” said Mayor Nancy Ferguson. “It’s such a great company in many ways and has a brand very similar to ours.” Ferguson mentioned the company’s fiscal conservativeness and compared that to the village’s fiscal operations. Margaret Standing, director of corporate communications for Bob Evans

Farms, said last week the company had outgrown its facility on South High Street and needed more room. Standing said the company considered renovations at the South High Street facilities, relocating to Texas — where the company owns land — or relocating to another central Ohio community. “The most cost-effective option was

to build a new building,” she said. The company currently employs 400 people in its 130,000-square-foot space. Standing could not say how large the facility in New Albany would be. The company has not yet purchased the land, she said. The company is looking at land in Franklin County, on the north side of state Route 161, south of Smith’s Mill

2010 census

FRRC weighs effect of local development on district By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Though New Albany has not yet received official figures from the 2010 census, the village has unofficial numbers showing it will achieve city status soon. Scott McAfee, village communications director, confirmed that unofficial numbers from the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) indicate New Albany has 7,724 residents. Once a village or town’s population exceeds 5,000, it must officially be recognized as a city, which changes some of its municipal procedures, McAfee said. Mayor Nancy Ferguson said the numbers are not surprising, given that the village has been growing steadily. “I think the greater community around New Albany is probably in the 16,000 range,” she said. She said her estimate includes the boundaries of the New Albany-Plain Local School District, which draws students from New Albany, Columbus, and unincorporated parts of Plain Township.

New Albany does consider the impact local development has on the New Albany-Plain Local School District, local officials told the district’s financial review and reporting committee (FRRC). Community development director Jennifer Chrysler and finance director James Nicholson met with the committee March 14 to explain abatements and revenue-sharing agreements New Albany has with the district. One emphasized point was that the school district cannot depend solely on residential property taxes as its source of revenue. Committee member Dave Maul said property taxes generated from an average home in New Albany valued at $470,000 — which total $7,597.65, according to district treasurer Brian Ramsay — do not provide the district with the cost to educate one student annually, which is $11,000, according to a district report. Maul asked Chrysler how the village works to prevent a negative impact on the district from new residential properties. Chrysler said the village has a density limit in place and plans the location of commercial and residential growth. When considering residential developments, the density limits cause developers to increase the price point of a home to more than $700,000 because they can’t build enough lowerpriced homes in one development to earn enough profit. Chrysler said the village estimates a $770,000 home would generate the $11,000 in property taxes needed to educate one child annually. Also, following recommendations from a committee called the Smart Growth Coalition, which was formed more than five years ago, the village agreed to rezone some land in the Central College Road area from residential to commercial. That change allowed the village to welcome data centers, which do not produce much income-tax revenue for the village but provide more than three times the property-tax revenue for the schools over what a “class A” office building would generate, Chrysler said.

BOB EVANS MOVE Continued from page A1 fanov and community development director Jennifer Chrysler, the incentives could total $9.8million in savings for Bob Evans. The expected package includes: • A 15-year, 100-percent tax abatement on real property taxes. • A 20-percent income-tax credit for five years if the company implements environmentally friendly technology on site. • A 5-percent income-tax credit for five years for health and wellness initiatives. • A $250,000 income-tax credit, repayable over two years, to help with relocation expenses. • A $1-million interest-free loan for 10 years from the village’s economic development fund. • A 25-percent credit on building inspections and fees if the company uses environmentally friendly technology on site. Abatements must be authorized by New Albany Village Council, which has not yet voted on the incentives. The incentives are based on an estimated 175,000-square-foot building with at least 360 employees that would grow to 510 employees in four years. Employees are estimated to retain an average salary of $65,000 annually. “This will help pay the village dividends and the school district, as well,” Stefanov said. “This project is in the (New Albany-)

Plain Local Schools. It will also fill in that portion of the business park where we made an initial investment some 10 to 11 years ago now.” The village shares a percentage of income-tax revenues from its business parks with the New Albany-Plain Local School District, Chrysler said. Bob Evans Farms also is expected to receive some state incentives, which have not yet been approved, said Bethany McCorkle, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Development. She said the job-creation tax credits and grants must be approved by two different boards. “Incentives were just one part of the equation,” Standing said. “There’s the cost of buying the land, the cost to redevelop the land and the cost of infrastructure on site. In the final analysis, New Albany was the clear winner on all those fronts.” McCorkle said the state’s job is to keep businesses within their borders, even if that means a business may move from one area to another. “We try to attract and to retain businesses in Ohio,” McCorkle said. “Since they were looking to go to Texas, our main focus was keeping them in Ohio. If a company has a particular interest, we work on where they need to be and what’s the best interest for them.” Since the buildings on South

High Street will be vacated, McCorkle said the state has a program in place to use a $4,125,000 state loan to renovate that space if a new user wants to locate there. The original Bob Evans facility was built in 1968 and had been expanded over the years. The company currently occupies three buildings on South High Street, Standing said. To renovate the existing structures, employees would have to have been shifted from building to building during the work. When the facility was constructed, it was intended to handle retail sausage sales, Standing said. It had grown to include food products for Bob Evans restaurants and products for Mimi’s Café. Bob Evans’ new facility in New Albany would include “an innovation center for restaurant and food products teams as well as wellness, security and convenience features for employees,” according to information from the company. According to information from the company, Bob Evans Farms has 194 Bob Evans restaurants, three Mimi’s Café restaurants, two food-product production plants, a distribution center, fleet maintenance centers and the company’s farm and homestead, all in Ohio, and generates an estimated “$36-million in tax revenue each year in the state.” lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Continued from page A1 who see things they find suspicious in their own neighborhoods. It was the right thing to do because it turned out their suspicions were right.” A resident noticed two men in a white pickup truck removing light pole bases from the bottom of light poles in the neighborhood March 7, Anderson said. The resident, who Anderson said asked not to be identified, asked the men what they were doing and they said they worked for the village’s service department. Anderson said the resident was skeptical and called the police. The suspects left the area, changed vehicles and came back to a different street in a black pickup truck. The police department notified the village’s service department and a service worker who was checking lights that evening reported seeing the pickup, Anderson said. Officers were dispatched and made two arrests. Luke Wickline, 27, of Westerville, and Todd DiGeronimo, 27, of Columbus, were arrested and are being charged with fourth-degree felony theft. Anderson said the charges carry a felony designation because of the cost of the recovered property.

The police department recovered eight pole bases made of cast metal. They are between 36 and 42 inches tall, said Mark Nemec, the village’s service director. Nemec said each base is valued at $1,600. The bases are in two pieces and are attached at the bottom of the pole. Nemec said the type of decorative bases that were taken are only found in the New Albany Links area. “That’s the only one where the base is free floating on concrete,” Nemec said. “The others are part of the pole and or the pole is screwed to the base.” Anderson said village police regularly patrol construction sites where metal often is stolen for thieves to sell as scrap. He said the resident’s call was critical to the arrest. “Having a witness or a resident call in things they find suspicious is absolutely critical to law enforcement,” he said. Nemec said the recovered pole bases could be reused. If the property had not been recovered, the village would have had to claim the stolen property on insurance. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

UNOFFICIAL RESULTS Continued from page A1 “We’re still relatively small,” Ferguson said. “It still feels like a small town and I think of us as a small town, even though we’re growing.” In 2010, in anticipation of the census results, Ferguson issued a challenge to residents to guess the village’s population. She put up a $100 gift certificate to a local restaurant as the prize, which she paid for with her own money. “It’s something I wanted to donate, just for something fun,” she said. According to village council clerk Betty Bosko, 27 entries were

collected, with guesses ranging from 5,275 to 12,000. The winner of the challenge was resident Mike Davenport, who guessed 7,688. Ferguson said he chose to have the gift certificate made out to Mia Cucina. McAfee said once New Albany receives a letter from the Ohio secretary of state’s office officially listing the population, the village will have 30 days to proclaim its status as a city. Village officials said that other than changing paperwork and letterhead, city status means New Albany will be responsible for maintaining roads that the state now maintains.

Also, some of New Albany’s employees could opt to join unions when the village becomes a city. Earlier this year, village administrator Joseph Stefanov said New Albany had budgeted for legal fees related to contract negotiations. The impact of unionized employees is still uncertain, as current proposed legislation — Senate Bill 5, which the Ohio Senate voted 17-16 to pass and is now being considered in the Ohio House of Representatives — would change municipal regulations regarding collective-bargaining laws. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

McCoy center

NASA engineer to talk about Mars rover program By LORI WINCE

with select high school classes — Albany. His visit is part of the

ThisWeek Community Newspapers is the culmination of the space McCoy center’s 2010-11 season

New Albany Middle School students have prepared for a visit from NASA mechanical engineer Kobie Boykins on March 18 by building their own Mars “rovers.” The rovers, which students designed as part of the seventh-grade curriculum unit on space, must land an egg Kobie Boykins safely from a midair drop point. Students also learned a little about Boykins’ job during the weeklong unit, which began March 15. Boykins’ visit to the middle school — where he will meet with seventh- and eighth-graders, along

unit, said seventh-grade teacher Kirsten Jaster. “This week in seventh-grade science, we are highlighting the Mars rover program and learning about Kobie Boykins and his contributions to the NASA program,” she said. “He highlights teamwork, ingenuity and his curiosity for space at a young age. We hope his dynamic story will plant the seed of a future engineer or space pioneer.” Boykins helped design and build two rovers, called “Opportunity” and “Spirit,” for the Mars Exploration Rover Mission. He also will speak about his work at NASA and his dreams of finding life on Mars at 8 p.m. Friday, March 18, at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts, 100 W. Dublin-Granville Road in New

of events. For the egg-drop project, students will work in teams and try to “land” their rovers without harming the payload, just as NASA engineers had to do on Mars. “The egg will be the precious rover cargo and they need to design a system to land it safely on the ground,” Jaster said. The students have limited time to build they rovers with common materials that were provided for them. They also were assigned a budget to meet. The students’project has more in common with Boykins’ work than one might think. When describing his job as a mechanical engineer, Boykins said he uses LEGO blocks to show his coworkers potential designs to engineer for the space program.

CASON RETIRES Continued from page A1 18 years and his contributions are immeasurable,” Zonars said. “On his watch, the readership of our papers has grown by more than 200,000 people, which may be the most honest reflection of how valuable the public finds our coverage, which is the product of Ben’s leadership in the newsroom.” Zonars said Cason’s legacy is the team of journalists he has assembled at ThisWeek. “We are indebted to Ben for attracting bright and passionate reporters and editors who share his love of community news and sports, and to Ben’s high personal standards for quality, objective and, above all, accurate reporting,” he said. “No one checks more facts than Ben. Ben’s legacy will be that his brand of journalism will live on through our staff because Ben showed them the way as he coached, mentored and nurtured them. Ben leaves us in good hands.” Two of Cason’s first hires after he arrived at ThisWeek were Lee Cochran, now assistant managing editor and sports editor, and Sandy Wallace, news editor. “I came to ThisWeek from a

small daily and it took some time for me to get used to the different pace and schedule of weekly papers,” Wallace said. “But Ben’s vision for the papers was very clear. It was all about better reporting, better editing, better writing. For Ben, content is key, regardless of whether it’s in print or online. “It will be very strange to walk in the newsroom on March 21 and know Ben won’t be there,” she said. “We’re losing a wealth of experience and institutional knowledge — but I think I can safely say that Ben’s influence will continue to be felt for a long time.” “Ben came to ThisWeek three months before me,” Cochran said. “Soon after I started, he explained his plan for improving the papers, and it’s a vision he has followed ever since and one that will continue. The success we’ve had at ThisWeek is a credit to Ben and his vision. He knew what it took to be a successful newspaper and led us there. “He is a leader, a mentor and, most importantly, a friend. He will be missed by our readers and our newsroom.” After graduating from the University of Florida, Cason took a job at The St. Petersburg Times,

where he met his wife, Carol. Cason was news editor at The Washington Post during the Watergate scandal that eventually toppled President Richard Nixon. He said the Watergate episode was one of the most interesting times in his career. As news editor of The Post during that era, he put together many of the paper’s historic front pages. Cason said working for newspapers that were family-owned has been important to him. “I feel fortunate to have worked for family-run operations almost my entire career — the Wolfe family in Columbus, the Graham family at The Washington Post and Nelson Poynter at The St. Petersburg Times,” Cason said. “Journalism is almost always better when it’s run by families who live in the communities than by faceless large newspaper chains.” Cason said he remains a proponent of community journalism. “I think community journalism is the future of journalism,” he said. The Casons are the parents of two sons: Alexander lives in Charlotte, N.C.; David, his wife, Julie, and their two sons live in Worthington.

“Where Every Banker Knows Your Name”

NASA engineer Kobie Boykins, who will speak at New Albany Middle School and theMcCoy center March 18, helped design and build two rovers — like the one rendered above — for the Mars Exploration Rover Mission.

“I’m building things with LEGOs at work and I get paid to do that,” Boykins said. “I’m like a kid in a candy store. If you can find a job that makes you enjoy work that much, you should do it.” Boykins said humans have a natural curiosity and a “burning desire to learn,” which is why the Mars missions are important. The U.S. has been on the forefront of

space exploration, he said, and without continued support of the program, the country could fall behind. One of the most important aspects of landings on Mars is to study the “dead planet,” which, he said, some scientists believe retained more water than Earth. “Mars had water and is considered our sister planet,” he said.

“Could we lose our water?” Boykins tells people he wanted to build spaceships from the time he was 7. He recalls watching “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and wanted to be like the ship’s engineer, Geordi La Forge. He said he started taking things apart at home and was supported by his family, even when he took the television apart. But it was a fifth-grade teacher who convinced him that he could be more than just a class clown if he applied himself. “I started hitting the books hard,” he said. “I had a focus of what I wanted to do.” He said he kept his focus, even when looking for a college that would support his interest in space exploration and hockey. Cal Tech provided both and he was able to work with NASA his junior year in college through a contract NASA has with the school. “I would tell young people to never let go of their dream,” he said. “Find the people that will be able to help get behind you.”

Commentary & opinion As it were

Columbus-based Ralston Co. was â€˜a truly greatâ€™ enterprise It was an immense operation: At its height, the Ralston Steel Car Co. employed hundreds of people. Much of it is gone now. A few of the factory buildings remain. But in its time â€”for almost 50 years â€” the Ralston Steel Car Co. was a great Columbus success. That story and the story of the man who made it happen are well worth retelling. Joseph Stevenson Ralston was born near Hamilton, Ontario, in 1865. His father, Robert Ralston, was a recent immigrant from Ireland. His mother, Sarah Springer Ralston, came from a family that had been in America since 1680 but had fled to Canada during the American Revolution because of their loyalty to the crown. Like a number of people in Canada, and certainly like many more in the United States, Joseph Ralston was a restless young man. After receiving a basic education, Ralston went to sea on a ship called the City of Calcutta out of Glasgow, Scotland. After a four-year apprenticeship, he came home, but soon was on the move once again. He spent a year in a lumber camp in Michigan and followed that with another year as a newspaper reporter. He then turned to the sale of real estate for a time and then began to read law at night while he worked during the day. He would never practice law, but he would always claim its study helped him in his later activities. Along the way, he married Anna Mar of Cale-

d o n i a , Ontario. They had four children, three of whom lived to adulthood. By the turn of the ED c e n t u r y, LENTZ Joseph Ralston was working in Chicago for a large manufacturer of railroad cars. To anyone who lives in central Ohio today and arrives at a railroad crossing â€” with dozens of coal cars passing by â€” it may come as some surprise to learn there was a time not all that long ago when most of those coal cars did not exist. At the turn of the 20th century, the railroads were some of the most powerful corporations in America. But for all of that, most freight was still moved in wooden cars: box cars, tank cars or open top â€œgondolaâ€? cars. Many of these cars had to be unloaded by hand. Joseph Ralston, working with a young engineer named Anton Becker, developed plans for a new type of car. The entire car would be made of durable steel and would have a series of 16 trap doors along its bottom to permit coal or anything else to be quickly unloaded. Building a sample car, the two young inventors demonstrated their product to some railroads that hauled a lot of coal. Several of them in Columbus said they would buy the new car if the inventors could find a place to

manufacture it. They did just that. The Rarig Engineering Co. had been in business for some time at a distance from downtown Columbus along the rail lines that came into town from the east. Rarig had had some success making engines for industrial use, boilers, and even the superstructure for iron bridges. In the years before the Spanish American War, the company decided that its future lay in what we would today call â€œdefense contracts.â€? The Navy was expanding in size and influence. The Army was more involved in more places more frequently, as well. All of these people would need heavyduty artillery and the ordnance carriages to hold them. With outbreak of the Spanish American War, the company converted to wartime production in the confident assumption that the war would last for some time. The war lasted for 90 days. Not long thereafter, for a number of reasons, the company went out of business. It was at this fortuitous moment that Joseph Ralston and Anton Becker came to town looking for a factory location. They found the Rarig site. Beginning in 1905, Ralston and his financial backers began a process that was nothing short of amazing. Rarig Engineering had

a big factory building but little about it had anything to do with building rail cars. The new company took the building and began to build rail cars. While this went on, it completely gutted the interior of the old building and then proceeded to build a brand new building several hundred feet long to accommodate an assembly line to produce rail cars. When all of that was done, the company then went back and tore down the old building and replaced it with a new building. And while all of this was happening, it continued to build steel cars. Between 1906 and 1911, the company built more than 10,000 of the new cars and soon found

them shipped to all parts of the world. As just one example, in 1909, the company sold 50 of its cars to the South Manchurian Railway and sent the entire consignment to China in pieces, packed in crates. Over the years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. built not only a factory but an entire community on the East Side of Columbus. The area sat on the north side of the rail yards to the east of Milo Grogan. It was a self-contained world with most of its residents earning their livelihoods at the great factory. Joseph Ralston died in 1920. F. E. Simons led the company from 1920 to 1935 and he was

followed by Frank Livingston in the years after World War II. Through all of those years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. was one of the great industrial businesses of Columbus. Changes in Americaâ€™s rail transport business after World War II made the company less competitive and it went out of business in 1953. If you visit the near East Side of Columbus today it is still not all that difficult to find the streets and structures and other traces of the Ralston Steel Car Co. â€” a truly great American enterprise. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

The New Albany Presbyterian Church has been meeting in a local elementary school for several years. However, church members anticipate building and moving into a 16,000-square-foot church building at the corner of Harlem Road and U.S. Route 62 (Johnstown Road) by the end of this year or early the next.

Brian Kent Jones. Jones presented the project to the New Albany Architectural Review Board (ARB) March 14. Plans show the church building will face Johnstown Road and have an entrance and sidewalk leading up to it. One entrance closer to Harlem Road will be for drop offs and daily traffic. That entrance will allow right turns in and right turns out only, Jones said.

main parking lot, which will contain 147 spaces, said village planner Michelle Murphy. Jones said the 11.7-acre lot includes room for future expansions as the church grows. Building chair Jacob Clark said the congregation averages about 240 people in attendance every week. The ARB reviewed a couple different building representations before approving the certificate of appropriateness for a rezoning, the preliminary development plan and the final development plan, with member Jonathan Iten recusing himself from the vote.

himself because of his work with the church. Shirli Billisits said she, too, is a member of the church but was told by Murphy she could still vote on the application unless she served on the building committee. The main portion of the building is brick and Jones said it would include some wood, which would make it look like a smaller church that has expanded over the years. One of the renderings includes a taller steeple and arched windows. Jones said the final product depends on how much money the church has available. According to the church’s web-

$3.2-million. The capital campaign had raised $1.07-million at the last reported count. The church also is using a loan to pay for part of the building. ARB members had a few questions about the architecture. One neighboring resident, Francis Stahler of James River Road, asked how the parking lot would be screened from his home. Attorney Aaron Underhill, who was representing the church application, said the church would be required to plant shrubs that will grow to 3-and-a-half feet. Murphy said the 3-and-a-halffoot height must be met within five years of the planting.

and leaving during the day so there shouldn’t be a lot of headlights shining into neighbor’s homes. Jones added that there is a lot of distance between the parking lot and the homes because the church is so close to Johnstown Road. Two existing homes on the property will remain, Jones said, and could be used by the church in the future. Next week, the church is expected to request a zoning change from the existing planned unit development and residential zoning that will come before the New Albany Planning Commission.

March 17, 2011

FRRC Continued from page A1 Ramsay said New Albany also must complete an educational impact study for each new development that shows potential revenue generated and expenses associated with each development. Maul said he is concerned about condominiums and apartments that could add children and, again, not produce the type of propertytax revenues needed to effectively educate local students. Chrysler said New Albany has no apartments. However, Ken Stark, the district’s director of operations, said apartments are in the Columbus portion of the school district’s boundaries. School board member Cheri Lehmann said the Win-Win agreement, which allows students in some areas of Columbus to attend suburban schools, sets the district’s boundaries. Stark said the northeast portion of undeveloped Plain Township is expected to be annexed into Columbus for development, not New Albany, because of water and sewer agreements and the WinWin agreement with the city. The Win-Win agreement recently was renewed for another six years. The agreement renews automatically and, Stark said, the district would have to petition not to renew the agreement. Committee member Dave Demers asked how the village could prevent new businesses in the Licking County portion of the business park from creating a housing demand in the village for lowerpriced homes in the New AlbanyPlain Local School District. Demers said people who work at the new businesses could create a demand for lower-priced homes in the village if they want their children to attend New Al-

That would add students to the district, perhaps more than anticipated because the village currently has no plans for lower-priced housing developments. Only sites that have been zoned and remain undeveloped have been included with the enrollment projections. Chrysler said out of the 8,000 jobs to be created in business park east, which includes land on state Route 161 and along Beech Road, only 10 percent of the employees would be able to afford housing in New Albany. She said the campus is being developed a little differently from some of the other New Albany business parks in that it is slated for more of distribution and manufacturing companies. Typically, manufacturing jobs pay between $25,000 and $27,000 annually, she said. Chrysler said there are three business campuses in the village that offer tax abatements, which allow companies to pay only a portion of the total taxes owed for a designated period of time. The campuses were developed after the village received a letter of credit for a total of $24-million through the New Albany Co., she said. The debt was issued through the New Albany Community Authority and the village uses the first 30 cents on every dollar in income-tax revenue from the business campuses to repay that debt. Nicholson said the village has paid down the debt to $8-million in only 10 years. The other 70 percent of the income-tax revenue from the business campuses is split equally, with the school district and the village both receiving 35 percent. The only business campus that is different is called the Blacklick

business campus. It contains the Abercrombie & Fitch complexes. Chrysler said 50 percent of the income taxes generated from that campus are used to pay off the debt. The other 50 percent is split equally between the village and school district. New Albany also collects revenue through tax-increment financing (TIF) districts, which contain both commercial and residential land. A TIF is an economic development mechanism available to local governments to finance public infrastructure improvements and, in certain circumstances, residential rehabilitation, according to information from the Ohio Department of Development. TIFs lock in the taxable worth of real property at the value it holds at the time the authorizing legislation was approved. Chrysler said that all but one of the TIFs in New Albany are nonschool TIFs, which means the district still receives 100-percent of the property-tax revenues from the areas within the TIF. The only TIF that diverts all new property-tax revenue — even what normally would go to the school district — is in the village center. For that area, the village has a revenuesharing agreement in place to share income tax revenue from the village center TIF for the first 10 years and to share property taxes from that area for the second 10 years. TIFs generally are established for 30 years, Chrysler said. The district’s campus master plan, completed in 2010, said that current enrollment is 4,180 students. The district campus was designed for an enrollment of 3,816. According to the most recent enrollment projections, more than 1,000 students are expected to join the district by school year 202021.

Eagles raised bar for future By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

At a glance

By the time the New Albany High School boys basketball team discovered a comfort zone against top-seeded Westerville South in a Division I district final, much of the damage already had been done. “This was our first time making it this far (in Division I),” coach Sam Davis said following a 69-54 loss March 11 in the Fairgrounds Coliseum. “We made some adjustments, but nothing big. I think we just played a little nervous in the first half.” The eighth-seeded Eagles, who moved up from Division II in 2009-10, dug themselves a 37-20 hole by halftime. Trailing 5-2 early, the Wildcats scored 25 of the next 31 points to pull ahead 27-11 on Traevon Jackson’s putback with 5 minutes, 8 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Jackson, a 6-foot-2 Wisconsin signee, scored only 13 points but was instrumental in the victory because of his passing. Teammate Ben Jones contributed

It almost seems as if the state club tournament is becoming an extension of the Greater Columbus High School Club Hockey League’s Blue Jackets Cup. The league produced its third state champion in four years when Northeast defeated Newark 2-1 in the final of the seventh annual Buckeye Cup on March 13 in Canton. It also was the second time in three years that two GCHSCHL teams played for the title. “It was a really great weekend for our league,” Newark coach Don Jennings said. “If we were going to lose to anyone, I’m glad it was to Northeast. They’ve got a lot of good seniors on that team and they played very strong. It’s well deserved.” The Storm captured its first state championship by winning all five games at the three-day event, which featured four teams apiece from the GCHSCHL, the Cleveland-based North Coast High School Hockey League and the Cincinnati High School Hockey League. The tournament used the fivepoint system for pool play, awarding one point for each period a team won and two more for a game victory. Teams split the point when a period ended in a tie. The Storm opened with a pair of one-goal victories in pool play before defeating Liberty Township Lakota East of the CHSHL 4-0 in its third game, totaling 12.5 out of a possible 15 points to earn the third seed in the semifinals behind Newark (13.5) and Jackson (13) of the NCHSHL. Northeast also posted a 3-2 victory over Medina of the NCHSHL and a 4-3 win over Bellbrook of the CHSHL. The fourth semifinalist was Medina (10), which advanced by winning a tiebreaker over Hilliard. The Wildcats, who captured their first Blue Jackets Cup title last month, went 2-1 in pool play and also scored 10 See STORM, page B4

Vikings encouraged by prospects for next season By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Zach Ratcliff of Academy goes up for a shot during the Vikings’ 62-57 double-overtime loss to Heath in a Division III district final March 9 in the Fairgrounds Coliseum.

As the Heath High School boys basketball team celebrated its first district championship since 1992, Columbus Academy players posed for their runner-up photo. Although the picture will be a nice keepsake, the Vikings had hoped to be celebrating their first district title since 2008. However, the 62-57 double-overtime loss in a Division III district final March 9 in the Fairgrounds Coliseum has given Academy incentive to return next season with a stronger team. The Vikings finished 17-6 overall and 104 in the MSL-Ohio Division. “I know we’re a good year ahead of schedule from where we should be, so to come as far as we did was great,” coach Chris Jones said. “We knew we were going to have some tough lessons to learn at some time and it just happened to be in the district final game. “The kids have already shown me how motivated they are. They’re already champing at the bit to start getting to the stuff in the offseason and they’re looking forward to next year already.” With its third meeting against Heath this season tied at 45, Academy junior guard Tim Eldridge missed two free throws with 1.9 seconds remaining in regulation. He atoned for the misses with a layup at the first-overtime buzzer, forcing the second OT. Junior Daniel Aronowitz led Academy with 15 points and junior Zach Ratcliff had 11 points and 10 rebounds. Eldridge and sophomore Kyle Turner added 10 points apiece. Heath won the regular-season meetings 59-56 on Dec. 8 and 55-47 on Jan. 29. “Heath has a formula that they use and it works well for them, especially against us,”

Jones said. “They kill us on the inside, they hit the boards hard, they pound the ball in there. We had a game plan that we just didn’t stick to. Unfortunately, those are the lessons that a team learns on the way to becoming a real championship-level team. “The hardest thing is the kids know that it was there for us. We lost to a great team, but they know it was there for us and we just

didn’t do the things that we needed to do to get it done. We’re proud of them.” The Vikings reached the district title game by beating Madison Plains 40-35 on Feb. 22, Marion Pleasant 58-54 on Feb. 26 and North Union 71-46 on March 2. While Academy will lose seniors Michael Hoffman, Austin Peterman, Collin Ricker and Jeff Salomon, it expects to return most of its regulars. Peterman was the lone senior who received significant playing time. Hoffman did not play this season after suffering a concussion during the 2009 football season and re-aggravating the injury playing basketball last season. See VIKINGS, page B3

ThisWeek’s 2010-11 Super 12 WRESTLING TEAM The Captain

Brothers helped toughen Delande By JEREMY STEWART

About the athletes…

AL CASERTA Olentangy

Sr.

130

Caserta blossomed as a senior, finishing 48-11. During the regular season, he placed second in the Olentangy Invitational on Dec. 4, the James V. Horning Memorial on Jan. 22 and the Delaware Invitational on Feb. 5 and finished third in the North Canton Hoover Invitational on Dec. 17-18. Caserta then capped his career with a strong postseason, winning the Division II sectional on Feb. 19 at Hilliard Bradley, finishing second at district Feb. 25-26 at Columbus East and placing fifth at state March 3-5 at Ohio State. “Al was a hammer for us all year,” coach Matt Hammons said. “He moved up to wrestle at 135 to help the team out in duals, and he had a lot of success at both 130 and 135. Al’s a wicked scrambler. When you get in a dogfight with him, most of the time you’re going to end up on the bottom.”

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Although Chase Delande of the Hilliard Davidson High School wrestling team won the Division I state title at 145 pounds, he’s still going to be treated like the younger brother of Bo and Spencer. Both Bo Delande, a 2007 Davidson graduate, and Spencer Delande, a 2009 graduate, were state qualifiers as seniors, but neither made the kind of run the youngest Delande did at the state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State. Chase went 4-0, defeating Massillon Perry’s Tanner Lemon 9-4 in the championship match. Although neither of his older brothers won a state title, they had an influence on Chase getting one. “Being the youngest brother, they would beat up on me sometimes,” said Chase, who has been named captain of the ThisWeek Super 12 wrestling team. “I think that’s what helped me a lot. It made me mentally stronger. I could take a beating.” Spencer often came to the practice room this season to help train his younger brother. With Spencer having a nearly 50-pound weight advantage, Chase had a difficult time trying to control his brother. And for Chase, control was what it was all about. “He’s great at turning people over,” coach Dominic DiSabato said. “He’s a strong kid even though he may not look like it. He’s tough. He’s really physical and he has that football player mentality where he’s going to make you feel pain.” The only central Ohio wrestler to capture a state title this season, Chase Delande earned his 100th career victory in his match against Lemon. The junior finished the season 46-2. His only losses were to Mentor Lake Catholic’s Matt Fee at the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Holiday Tournament, which concluded Dec. 30. After that tournament, Delande was unbeatable. He swept through the OCC-Central Division dual matches, defeated Grove City’s Robert Coles 14-0 to win the Marysville sectional title Feb. 19 and defeated Olentangy Liberty’s Ethan Snyder 10-4 to win a district title Feb. 26. The state title gave Delande a state championship in two sports. He was a cornerback for the Davidson football team when it won the Division I state title in 2009. “In wrestling, it’s more of a thrill,” Delande said of winning a state championship. “In football, it’s a long game, two hours. In wrestling, it’s six minutes and all eyes are on you.”

The son of the coach of one of the area’s premier wrestling programs, DiSabato beats opponents not only with skill, but with a deep knowledge of the sport. DiSabato capped a stellar season with a fifth-place finish at the Division I state tournament. He finished the season 50-5 and earned his second trip to the awards podium at state. He placed eighth at 103 as a sophomore. “One thing that he’s really benefited from is he’s a smart wrestler, and being around wrestling as long as he has, he understands situations,” said coach Dominic DiSabato, Angelo’s father. “There are not too many mistakes that he makes on the mat because he didn’t know the situation.” DiSabato was named the OCC-Central Division Wrestler of the Year in addition to winning sectional and district championships.

Elflein could be among the early favorites to win the Division I state heavyweight title next season following the graduation of Centerville’s Kyle Rose, who defeated him 7-5 in a district final en route to winning the state title this year. Elflein went 1-2 at state, but he was eliminated by a pair of eventual placers in matches decided by a combined three points. “That was Pat’s first time at state, so it was a good learning experience,” coach Brad Harris said. “Now he knows what he needs to do going forward,” Elflein, who packed on 40 pounds after his sophomore year, finished the season with a 35-9 record and set the single-season program record with 28 pins. He already has football scholarship offers from Indiana and Northwestern.

Not only did Hutchins earn a 50-8 record but he did so in dominating fashion, pinning 41 opponents, which ranks him ninth on Ohio’s all-time season leader list. For his career, Hutchins compiled a 15648 record with 113 pins. His career pin total ranks 12th on Ohio’s all-time list and his win total was one shy of Seth Morton’s program record for career wins. “By earning six points with every pin, Brady has accounted for hundreds of team points for us,” coach Trent Brooks said. “Brady was an all-around dream to coach and he set the tempo for our team both on and off the mat.” Hutchins finished first in the Cambridge Invitational on Dec. 4, the Watkins Memorial Invitational on Feb. 5 and the Division II sectional Feb. 19 at Licking Heights. After placing second at district, he went 1-2 at state for a third consecutive season.

Murdock added to his résumé this season as both a Division I district and sectional champion. After finishing fifth at the state tournament at 103 as a sophomore, he placed sixth at 112 and finished this season with a 44-5 record. He entered state ranked second in Brian Brakeman’s High School Wrestling Forecast. “His goal was to win it this year, but it made it tough when he lost his first match (at state),” coach Bob Stoll said. “He’s got another year to try to do it. “He’s going to be a heck of a boost for our other guys next year as a leader.” Murdock, a three-time district qualifier, was first-team all-OCCCentral Division as the Shamrocks finished third (5-2) behind champion Hilliard Davidson (7-0).

Jr.

Fiorucci added to his already impressive résumé this season, finishing with a 45-7 record and winning five tournaments. He won the Olentangy Invitational on Dec. 4, the North Canton Hoover Invitational on Dec. 17-18 and the James V. Horning Memorial on Jan. 22. He also successfully defended his titles at the Division II sectional and district tournaments. Having placed eighth at 103 at state in Division I as a freshman and second at 103 in Division II as a sophomore, Fiorucci went 3-2 and placed fifth at 119 at state this year. “Trevor was dominant all season, and his only losses were to studs in tough tournaments,” coach Matt Hammons said. “He’s a pinner. Whether he’s on top or bottom, there’s always a good chance that Trevor is going to put someone on their back and stick them.”

BRADY HUTCHINS 152

In Bradley’s first two seasons, Higgins became one of the wrestlers who would help lay a solid foundation for a successful program. He ended his prep career by becoming the program’s first state placer. Higgins placed third at the Division II state tournament, beating Medina Highland’s Tyler Bloniak 11-7 in the third-place match. Higgins had a 44-4 record this season using what coach John Riggs said was an unusual technique. “He has a very unique style where he uses a lot of scrambling,” Riggs said. “He’s great with his legs and with tilts. He’s able to put his opponents in situations that maybe they haven’t seen before.” Higgins won sectional and district championships en route to qualifying for state and was named the OCC-Capital Division Wrestler of the Year.

Though only a sophomore, Forrider is a two-time placer at the Division I state tournament. As a freshman, he finished eighth at 119. This season, he placed sixth at 130 and finished with a 41-10 record. For his career, he is 85-18. This season, Forrider won the title at the Marysville sectional before winning the district title. He entered the state tournament ranked eighth in his weight class in Brian Brakeman’s High School Wrestling Forecast. “Noah is a huge part of our program as a competitor and a leader,” coach Shawn Andrews said. “His experience at the state level as a two-time placer is a great example to the kids on our team as to what it takes to be successful.”

Drumm upstaged Heath teammates Dom Barlow, a four-time state placer, and Mason Robinson at the Division III state tournament as the heralded trio concluded their careers with a combined 496 victories. Drumm was the Bulldogs’ top finisher, placing fifth to finish the season with a 34-3 record. He had eight postseason pins and won a district title Feb. 25-26 at Coshocton, where his father, Robin, died of a heart attack following one of his matches three years ago. “Of our three (state qualifiers), Travis was the most focused,” coach Roger Morgan said. “If he didn’t think he had a legitimate shot at winning (state), he wouldn’t be here.” Drumm, a two-time state qualifier who was a state alternate as a sophomore, finished with 160 career victories. He has signed to play football at Tiffin University.

If high school wrestling fans didn’t know who Pickett was before the Division I district tournament, they quickly found out after he demolished the competition on the way to a district title, winning each of his four matches by tech-fall, major decision or pin. He beat Olentangy Liberty’s Nick Kaczkowski 13-0 in the final. “I always say you have to be good on your feet. You have to be good in escape and you have to be able to hold someone down. Vince is good at all three of those,” coach Jamie Ramirez said. “That makes him difficult to wrestle. He’s tall and lanky. He’s hard to shoot on and he’s got a great shot himself. Plus, he has a bit of a mean bone.” Pickett, who finished the season 50-3, placed fourth at the state tournament.

Not often does a freshman make as much of an impact as Smith did this winter. He helped the Silver Knights win the CCL title and then followed with a Division III sectional title and a third-place finish at district. Smith went 3-2 at the state tournament. He won his first two matches before losing his next two. He bounced back to pin Marion Pleasant’s Zon Fields in 4 minutes, 40 seconds to finish fifth. Smith, who finished with a 43-4 record, had lost to Fields in a semifinal at the district tournament Feb. 26 at Coshocton. “He’s a very determined wrestler,” coach Chance Van Gundy said. “I’m just looking forward to the next three years. I’ve had several freshmen come in that were good, but I don’t think any has been as special as Bobby.”

EAGLES and Bodrick were second-team selections. Sosh, McDonald and Mayle also made honorable mention all-district. The Eagles won their first 10 games before losing 61-51 Jan. 22 at Upper Arlington in a matchup of undefeated teams. They started 130 in the OCC-Capital before Delaware won 5750 in overtime in the last league game and home finale Feb. 11. Their four regular-season losses came against opponents that combined for only nine losses entering the postseason, and Delaware had six of those. North, which prevailed 51-49 on Jan. 29, Upper Arlington and South all went 191 in the regular season and won or shared their respective league titles. New Albany will return no starters. Darren Lee, a 6-2 junior, and Jalen Rhea, a 6-1 sophomore, will have the most experience coming back next season. The Eagles also expect to bring back juniors Adam Bodrick, Chris Scott, Evan Schneider and Zack Lambert and freshman Joseph Sigenthaler. “Our seniors really helped us raise the bar this year,” Davis said. “We had a great start, yet the kids never got full of themselves. This wasn’t the most talented group or most athletic group, but they played hard and really, really cared about each other. “Here at the end, I still think we were playing our best basketball, just maybe not in that first half (against South).”

VIKINGS Continued from page B1 Aronowitz, Eldridge, Ratcliff and Turner should provide a solid nucleus next season. Ratcliff led the team in scoring at 14.1 points a game and rebounding at 8.8. He was named first-team all-league and second-team all-district. “No one expected us to be here,” Ratcliff said following the third loss to Heath. “We’re a young team. We really didn’t listen to

what everybody said. We just did what we had to do. We worked hard every day and hard work put us here. We just have to work a little bit harder next year.” Eldridge averaged 12.2 points and 5.5 assists, and was firstteam all-league and honorable mention all-district. Aronowitz averaged 12.4 points and 5.3 rebounds, and was honorable mention all-league and all-district. Other players who could contribute next season include jun-

The Wildcats, who also had won the regular-season meeting 64-54 on Feb. 15, improved to 23-1 while capturing their third district championship and first since 2008. “We worked on transition all week (in practice),” Davis said. “We held three guys back, but that doesn’t work when they’re stealing the ball.” The team’s other seniors are Sam Krebs, who drew the assignment to guard Jackson, and Trent Guy, a defensive catalyst who came off the bench this season. Guy sat out a 52-50 upset of fifth-seeded Pickerington North in a district semifinal on March 5. He sustained a concussion when New Albany eliminated Newark 65-58 in four overtimes in a second-round tournament game Feb. 26.

It was their first league championship since winning the MSL-Ohio in 2005-06. They joined the OCC the following year.

Commentary

Stephenson defends BYU’s strict student honor code Like many, Maggie Stephenson is curious to see how far the Brigham Young University men’s basketball team can advance in the NCAA tournament. The 2006 Pickerington High School Central and 2010 BYU graduate wonders how much of a run the Cougars can make without sophomore Brandon Davies, who has been suspended for the rest of the season. Davies, a 6-foot-9 center, was kicked off the team March 1 for violating BYU’s honor code by having premarital sex with his girlfriend. The university, located in Provo, Utah, is affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “When I first read about it, I felt bad for him,” said Stephenson, who had classes with Davies and was a student teacher at his former high school in Provo. “I can’t imagine how he feels.

“But when I heard all the negative things being said about BYU, it made me mad. I’ve heard people say, ‘Why PAUL would anyone BATTERSON want to play at BYU?’ I can tell you firsthand that playing for BYU was one of the best experiences of my life.” Stephenson was a catcher and utility infielder for the Cougars softball team the past two years. Although she is not Mormon, she passionately defends her alma mater. And part of the reason why Stephenson, who is Catholic, said she enjoyed her time in Provo was because of BYU’s stringent honor code. Each BYU student — not just

athletes — is asked to commit to nine principles. Among them: abstaining from tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, tobacco and substance abuse, observing a dress code (no shorts above the knees and no midriff-revealing shirts) and grooming standards (no beards or mustaches), participating regularly in church services and living a chaste and virtuous life. Students also have to receive an “Ecclesiastical endorsement” from their religious counselor and non-LDS students have to undergo an interview with the school’s chaplain before gaining admission. No one at BYU is above the honor code. Last year, running back Harvey Unga, BYU’s alltime leading rusher with 3,455 yards, and his girlfriend, Keilani Moeaki of the Cougars women’s basketball team, were suspend-

ed for the same violation as Davies. Stephenson was sent back to her dorm from a testing center because her shorts were too short. “I never thought about the length of my shorts before I went there. I was always in cutoffs,” Stephenson said. “But when you’re out there, you’re not just making a commitment to yourself and to

your team, but you’re making one to the whole community.” Stephenson said the honor code fosters a family atmosphere. “BYU is the first campus I’ve been on where I could walk up to any student, faculty or university personnel at any time and ask for help and immediately receive it,” she said. “I never felt scared at night and al-

ways felt safe.” In a society where rules are often winked at but rarely followed, it’s comforting to know characteristics like honor and sacrifice are not only enforced but also might be making a comeback. pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

STORM the Storm, scored the decisive goal in the third period. Wickiser’s younger brother, Ryan, was the starting goaltender in all five games and had little margin for error as the Storm won four of its five games by one goal. The four GCHSCHL participants combined for a 10-2 record in pool play and their point total was 45.5 compared with the NCHSHL’s 34.5 and the CHSHL’s 10. During the GCHSCHL’s regular season, the Storm finished third and Newark was fourth. The Generals won the state title in 2009 by defeating PRPC in the championship game. Athens won the GCHSCHL’s first state championship in 2008. “It was an incredible game,” Jennings said of this year’s final. “It was just what you’d expect from two Columbus teams. We were clearly the superior league, and I don’t really see that changing in the near future.” Earlier this week, the Storm still was deciding whether it would participate in the national club tournament that begins Tuesday, March 22, in Chicago.

points. A 4-3 loss to Jackson in their second game proved to be their undoing. Four of the top six teams in pool play were from the Columbus league. PRPC, which won the GCHSCHL’s regular-season title, went 2-1 and totaled 9.5 points to finish sixth. “We only got one point out of our second game and that really hurt us,” PRPC coach Joe Tonello said of a 3-2 loss to Mason of the CHSHL. “We had opportunities, putting 44 shots on their goaltender, but they just got one more goal than we did. “At the end of the day, though, we’re glad to see two teams from our league playing for the state championship.” In the semifinals, Newark defeated Medina 43 when Clay Beckholt scored the lone goal in a shootout and Northeast eliminated Jackson 2-1. Tyler Wickiser, a senior forward from New Albany, scored in every game for the Storm. He redirected a shot from Colin Laviola to give the Storm a 1-0 lead in the final. The Generals countered with a goal from Matt Congos in the second period. kadams@thisweeknews.com Kohl Fixari, whose father, Mark, is coach of www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Vino Vino in Grandview; so nice they named it twice When I first wrote about Vino Vino around five years ago, the little Grandview hub had a lot of buzz about it. Well, frankly, I hadn’t heard much Vino Vino talk lately. After a few recent visits, I think I know why: Its many patrons are trying to keep this terrific place (and its brashly flavored, artfully plated dishes sold at really great prices) all to themselves. Comfy, urbane, sophisticated, casual — these were the adjectives that popped into my brain as Brazilian music played (a much appreciated Vino Vino mainstay) and I perused the lengthy vino list. The wine-named place has a few flights with grinning descriptions, a ton of bottles that range from an unoaked Chilean chard (Cousino Macal, $22) to a big Barolo (Marcarini, $80) and lots of foodfriendly juice in between. Salads are certainly solid here. The Charleston ($6) is one of those walnut and Maytag blue cheese numbers, but nicely done — with earthy julienned veggies and a lightly applied bright vinai-

Before moving on, I should mention that the last salad — along with a bunch of other goodies — are available in smaller portions for $3 (some are $4) during Vino Vino’s spectacular happy hour, which is one of the best in town. Other happy hour highlights include: a killer Fish Taco (get the lettuce wrap option) that’s bold, huge and colorful and easily rivals any in the city; a very nifty crab cake actually packed with crab, nicely butter-browned and offering a flattering hint of mustard; a super-juicy sirloin and portobello slider; and an excel-

Two large logs of juicy boneless breast meat were pistachioed and bread crumbed and presented in crusty jackets. They were accompanied by dense and garlicky smashed redskins, a nice veggie medley starring broccoli and a sweet Thai-like chili sauce. The Roasted Salmon ($15) was a platefilling big fillet of grill-marked pink fish roused into specialness by a butter sauce with an intense lemon zestiness. Jasmine rice was on the side for sopping up the attention-demanding sauce. A dense but not super heavy NYCstyle cheesecake ($6) was good on its own, but even better with its accessories — nuts, fruit, syrup and cinnamon.

Molten in the middle, the tangy cheese had a highly attractive, crackly brown crust. Cutting the richness were an herby, chunky and addictive marinara sauce plus a little balsamic-drizzled salad.

Northland welcomes Nigerian restaurant on Cleveland Ave. Esther Ajiboye thinks Columbus is ready for something many residents rarely, if ever, have tried: Nigerian cuisine. Ajiboye and her husband Olawale have opened Intercontinental Restaurant, a 30-seat eatery in the Northland area. Opening day two weeks ago, the restaurant served 200 customers. Since then, a steady stream of diners has flowed

through Intercontinental, supping on such dishes as plantains with spinach, goat meat with mixed okra stew and fish pepper soup. “We’ve been very busy,” Mrs. Ajiboye said. The reason, she suspects, is the

paucity of Nigerian restaurants in the region. In fact, she claims that Intercontinental, 5777 Cleveland Ave., is the only one in the state. Also in its favor are the healthful aspects of the cuisine — nothing is deep-fried — and the price. All meals start out at $7.99. Prices go up if customers ask for extra portions. “We give you what will fill you up,” she said. “We don’t ration

Esther and Olawale Ajiboye have opened Intercontinental Restaurant featuring Nigerian cuisine at 5777 Cleveland Ave.

it.” Both Ajiboyes are from the western part of Nigeria, where each owned a restaurant. “Cooking brought us together,” Mrs. Ajiboye said. “Food brought us together.” “This is the first time we are working together,” her husband said. “I enjoy it. She’s a good cook.” Columbus is no stranger to regional African cuisines, offering a wide variety of styles: Figs Café (a mix of Ghanaian and Western fare), Blue Nile (Ethiopian) and Solay Bistro (Somali), for example. Mr. Ajiboye said many of the restaurant’s West African dishes, such as jollof rice, are shared throughout most of the continent. One of the most popular dishes at Intercontinental is moi moi, made from a base of black-eyed peas that are soaked, peeled, cooked and pureed, and seasoned with a variety of ingredients. After it is boiled in foil and firms up into a loaf, the moi moi is cut into pieces to be eaten on their own or served with meat. Another big seller is egusi soup, made of melon seeds, and often served with a ball of pounded yam, where diners peel off pieces of the globe and dip it into the soup as they eat. Mrs. Ajiboye said the spice level of the dishes is mild and suited to most diners but there is a

habanero salsa served tableside for those who want a spicy condiment. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614-843-5665. Spain Restaurant is opening a second site in Lewis Center. The Spanish eatery, a Northland staple for 12 years, will take over the site most recently occupied by Beebs Deli, 76 Powell Road.

The 3,500-square-foot building, which will seat around 100 people, is just west of U.S. Route 23. The menu and pricing structure will remain largely unchanged, said general manager Luis Aguilar. A specific opening date is not certain, but it should be ready within two months. He said the plan is to keep the current site at 888 E. DublinGranville Road and have a less formal menu.

Healthy New Albany interested in growing community garden Healthy New Albany, a nonprofit organization promoting health and wellness initiatives in the village, is working to establish a community garden. “I think it’s a great initiative that allows for a community garden that residents can use,” said Kathryn Meyer, deputy community development director. New Albany Village Council was expected March 15 to approve a resolution allowing the administrator to “execute a land-use agreement with Healthy New Albany in order to facilitate the construction of and operation of a community garden on the grounds of (New Albany) Village Hall.” Village Hall is at 99 W. Main St. To learn more about council’s decision, visit

www.ThisWeekNews.com. Meyer said Healthy New Albany could use some land behind or east of Village Hall for the garden, which the organization would organize and operate. The land would remain the village’s property. The community development department has received calls from several residents who are interested in having a plot in a community garden, Meyer said. “Apparently, there’s quite a bit of interest out there in producing local produce or growing vegetables or food locally,” Meyer said. Healthy New Albany was formed through the New Albany Community Foundation. — Lori Wince

“STUDENT SPOTLIGHT” Marburn Academy is proud to acknowledge the contributions of Robert S. Garek Merit Scholarship recipient Alex Foster to the Marburn Academy community. Alex Foster, a Marburn Academy junior, is the first one to recognize that Marburn Academy changed his life. “The TASK and LEAD classes have given me confidence to ask questions in my courses, and taught me how to advocate for myself,” states Foster. “Now I am able to participate at a high level in any class discussion, or add to the planning of any event.” Foster also acknowledges his research, writing, and notetaking skills have improved, which he credits to the Marburn Academy High School teachers. “I really value the close relationship Marburn students have with the High School teachers. Our teachers are more than willing to help each student, even to the point of staying after school.” Foster’s academic goal for this year is to be on the Honor Roll. After graduating with the class of 2012, he plans to go to college. Foster is an active member of the junior class, participating in class trips and playing soccer and dodge ball. As a school Ambassador, Foster has given school tours and mentored some Marburn 8th grade students. Foster also contributes to his local community by volunteering in his neighborhood. He mows grass, shovels snow, walks dogs, and mulches gardens. Everyone at Marburn Academy is proud of an Scott Burton, Marburn Academy Dean of Students, and Alex Foster, R.S.

March 18, two days before the show. Garner said the trio would meet about 700 students at the McCoy center. “One of the main parts of the symphony is education and exposure for our young people to this kind of talent,” Garner said. “I think that makes it more valuable for the kids to see someone working hard.” The second piece to be performed during the March 20 concert is Mozart’s Serenade for Or-

The New Albany Symphony Orchestra’s final performance of the season is March 20 when the group will perform Beethoven’s “Triple Concerto” at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts. “It’s rarely performed because of the expense,” said Heather Garner, the orchestra’s executive director. “There are three soloists.” The performance begins at 7 p.m. at the McCoy Center, 100 W. Dublin-Granville Road in New Albany. Tickets are $9 to $17 in advance and $11 to $19 the day of the show. Garner said the symphony tries to keep its ticket prices low enough for most people to enjoy. The orchestra will take advantage of its family ties for the performance of the “Triple Concerto,” as all three soloists are from the music director’s family. For the performance, music director Luis Biava will step away from the conductor’s podium to perform as a soloist on the cello. He will be joined by his wife, violinist Ariane Sletner, and his aunt, pianist Blanca Uribe. His father, Luis O. Biava, will conduct the Beethoven portion of the performance. “It took us awhile to get things together, working with everyone’s schedules,” Garner said. “Finally, we’re getting it all together. It’s such a fun event.”
