Heiser to challenge Brennan for Mayor By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Former Bexley city auditor Larry A. Heiser has announced that he will challenge incumbent John Brennan in the November mayor’s race. Heiser, 50, has lived in Bexley for the past 44 years and is a certified public accountant. He currently serves as finance director for the village of Johnstown. Heiser graduated from Bexley High School in 1979 and Capital University in 1999. He served as Bexley city auditor from 2006-09 and has also worked as an au-

ditor for the state auditor’s office. Heiser is single and the father of two children, Allison, 23, a Vanderbilt University graduate living in Washington, D.C., and Larry Evan, 21, a senior at Heiser Miami University in Oxford. Heiser describes his political affiliation as “none,” saying, “I would consider myself an independent. I have registered in past primaries as a Democrat, Republican, and Libertarian.”

Heiser said he doesn’t agree with some of the policies of Brennan’s administration. “Sustaining success in Bexley requires the community to decide on choices such as road repair vs. debt reduction,” he said. “I have concerns as a resident and former auditor regarding the amount of road repair we are once again doing in the city this year considering the debt payments which will affect the budget for 20 years in the future.” The ongoing controversy over proposed changes to Bexley’s city charter were also a factor in his decision to run for mayor.

“The finance task force had recommended to council in 2009 that council go to the voters for large capital expenditures,” he said. “As the city has been involved in a charter review, it is an opportune time to continue to have hard conversations about the most sustainable forms of government, and by this I mean a city with a mayor and independent auditor, or a city manager and eliminating the auditor. In these times I believe we need to look at a new form of government for Bexley. I am not in favor of eliminating the auditor unless we also consider having a city manager.” Heiser said the most pressing issues

facing the city are the looming budget deficit and how to deal with it while preserving existing city services. “First is balancing the budget, in the face of all of the changes from the State of Ohio regarding the estate tax and local government fund,” he said. “I also believe that maintaining our safety as an inner ring suburb is important to residents. Any reductions to our police department would be detrimental to the long-term sustainability of Bexley as we know it now. The city’s police function is the most important function the city See HEISER, page A2

Morison won’t seek re-election to council

Caudill noted that moving away from the block schedule would gain up to 24 hours in instructional time for each subject over the course of the school year. That gain is expected to help middle school students meet the challenge of the new Ohio Content Standards. The Ohio Department of Education describes Content Standards as “clearly defined statements and/or illustrations of what all students, teachers, schools and districts are expected to know and be able to do.”

Veteran three-term Bexley City Council member Jed Morrison has announced he will not seek re-election in November. Morison made his announcement In an e-mail on May 8 to Mayor John Brennan, fellow city council members and city department heads. “With mixed feelings, I have decided that I will not run for another term on City Council this fall,” Morison wrote. “As you may know, my agency has a replacement levy on the ballot this fall that will require my full attention and extra Jed campaign time.” Morison is superintendent Morison of the Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Morison did leave the door open for a possible return to city government in the future. “Who knows? Someday I may throw my hat back in the ring when time permits,” he wrote. Morison said he leaves city council with fond memories. “For the record, I have thoroughly enjoyed my 12 years on council and have the greatest respect for those I have served with over the years,” he wrote. “Your support of initiatives I have sponsored or supported has been greatly appreciated.” For the remainder of his term, Morison said he will be focused on dealing with the city’s budget. “I look forward to finishing this term in our continuing efforts to stabilize finances and in support of other exciting plans that are in the works,” he wrote. “You all, along with all of our

The long-awaited opening of Piada Italian Street Food, 2585 E. Main St., in Bexley will occur May 16. Piada is a fast casual Italian eatery and the creation of restaurateur Chris Doody. The company’s other restaurant is in Upper

Arlington. The 2,400-square-foot restaurant, is in the former Huntington Bank branch in Bexley. It seats 66 and can accommodate another 45 on the front patio. The restaurant also has a drive-up window for pickup orders in the rear, accessible from Remington Road. Company officials say the restaurant

will employ a staff of about 35 on opening day. “We are really excited about the response to Piada,” Doody said. “It has been very well received in Upper Arlington and we are looking forward to offering this unique fast casual Italian concept in Bexley.” One of the founders of Bravo and Brio,

Doody has always had a passion for Italian food. While traveling in Italy, he discovered street food that was fresh, inexpensive and easy to eat on the go. “Today’s consumers are looking for healthier, better quality food with convenient, fast delivery to accommodate their hectic lifestyles,” Doody said. “At Piada, they don’t have to sacrifice qual-

Bexley police seek leads ‘Friends’ group re-established in car vandalism outbreak By JEFF DONAHUE

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Bexley police are turning to residents for help in solving a car vandalism spree that took place May 7-8. Vandals spray-painted more than 50 automobiles between 6 p.m. May 7 and 6 a.m. May 8, according to Detective Peter Brickley. Brickley said the exact number of cars damaged was not known because police were still taking reports from victims Monday afternoon. “We have no suspects or witnesses to the

events,” Brickley said. “We just have victims all over the city that had their cars spray-painted. We did seize some spray paint cans that we will be processing and we will be talking with victims and their neighbors. “Any information that residents may have regarding this incident that happened overnight Saturday to Sunday would be appreciated,” he said. Anyone who has information about the vandalisms is urged to call the Bexley Police Department non-emergency number at (614) 5594444.

HEISER Continued from page A1 provides to the residents.” He said his goals for the city include reducing the city’s debt load and following through on “several recommendations from the finance committee of residents which met in 2008-09 when the city was facing similar economic conditions prior to being bailed out by another large estate tax windfall. Even if the state of Ohio legislature does not remove the estate tax I believe we should put those monies aside for one time

capital improvements.” He said debt load reduction would also happen by streamlining city operations and through the evaluation of the compensation packages for city employees. Heiser said his vision for Bexley includes maintaining “a vibrant suburban community — the same city I grew up in and my children were raised in, a safe community where residents maintain their homes and value education.” He said his expertise in finance and working with municipal gov-

ernments would serve him well as Bexley mayor. “In my CPA experience, I have worked with city mangers and mayors throughout central Ohio and through those experiences I have gained insight into effective government,” he said. “As a finance person I have the skill set to analyze cost benefits for services the city provides to its residents. As a taxpayer I have been outspoken on the need for transparency in government. I will use my analytic skills and leadership skills to get this job done.”

CHANGES Continued from page A1 “The new standards are more rigorous,” Bexley Superintendent Mike Johnson said. “More frequent contact means a high level of repetition and we know this is critical to students' success, particularly in math and foreign language study.” The school district also is attempting to better align students' experiences in seventh through 12th grades. Bexley Middle School and Bexley High School share several staff members. This fall, about 10 percent of Bexley Middle School students will take a high school course. That means a larger number of scheduling conflicts that are becoming more difficult to resolve. “Using the best fit of teachers will mean we have greater flexibility,” said Harley Williams, principal of secondary schools. The biggest change that most middle school students would experience with the new schedule would be a study hall during school every other day. The new 50-minute study hall would meet students' needs

for individualized attention, as Small Group Instruction time is reduced from 42 minutes to 25 minutes. Students enrolled in band and orchestra would attend those classes in lieu of a study hall. Bexley Middle School staff members are addressing concerns about students' social/emotional health in the areas of homework and tests that led to block scheduling a decade ago. Teams of staff members are coordinating test and homework schedules so students are not overwhelmed with their schoolwork. “Our teachers have found ways to address these challenges,” Williams said. “The International Baccalaureate approaches to learning are giving us fresh ideas as well.” Comments or concerns related to the proposed changes should be submitted to principal of secondary schools Harley Williams at harley.williams@bexleyschools.org, or BMS assistant principal Jason Caudill at jason.caudill@bexleyschools.org. www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

After several years of inactivity, the Friends of the Bexley Public Library have reorganized and hit the ground running. “We re-established the Friends of Bexley Public Library on March 3 during a public meeting at the library, and the response from the community has been tremendous,” said John Offenberg, president of the 2011 Friends of Bexley Public Library board. “I am pleased that the re-establishment of the Friends will provide opportunities for the community to support the library and to become more actively engaged with this wonderful community institution.” The first major event sponsored by the Friends organization will be a book sale June 10-12 in the library auditorium. The public is invited to attend and shop for items on diverse topics, genres, and subjects, including many children’s books beginning at noon on Friday, June 10. From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., all Friends members are invited to shop at the book sale be-

fore it opens to the general public. Members of the Friends are also invited to attend a ticketed preview party on Thursday, June 9, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the main lobby of the library. Ticket prices are $20 each or two for $30. Those who join at the $50 membership level will receive one complimentary ticket, and Friends who join at the $100 level will receive two complimentary tickets. Those attending will enjoy wine and cheese, entertainment by Capital University’s Jazz Quartet, a silent auction, and a chance to preview and purchase books from the sale. Anyone interested in more information about the preview party should contact Ann Russell at 231-6518 or or visit FriendsBPL@hotmail.com. Proceeds of membership dues and events such as the book sale and preview party will be used to support Bexley Public Library’s programs and services. The Friends have agreed to sponsor the library’s 2011 summer reading program, which begins with a kickoff party on June 9 and runs through Aug.

“The Friends have already been a great source of support for the library. Friends volunteers created wonderful staff appreciation events during National Library Week in April, and we are thrilled that they have chosen to sponsor the summer reading programs for children and teens,” said Rachel Rubin, director of the Bexley Public Library. The Friends of Bexley Public Library is dedicated to supporting the mission of Bexley Public Library and engaging the community with the library. The Friends offers memberships at various levels - $5 (youth), $10 (adult), $25 (family), $50 (patron), and $100 (book lover). Each member has a vote at Friends meetings and an opportunity to shop book sales before the public. Friends of Bexley Public Library membership applications are available at the library or on the Friends website, which is currently under construction (http://www.friendsofbexleypubliclibrary.org/). www.ThisWeek NEWS.com

School notebook

Student reflects on qualities that made Molly Davis special Around the middle of August in 2004, students crowded the doors of Cassingham Elementary, scrambling to find out who their teachers would be that year. I, among many of my classmates entering fifth grade, prayed that Mrs. (Molly) Davis would be mine. Though Iâ€™d never met her, Iâ€™d heard stories about how fantastic she was. Maybe it was that constant sparkle in her eye, the brilliant smile that never failed to welcome you, or the perfectly coordinated pastel colored clothing that made me yearn to get Mrs. Davis. But after looking up at the neon green piece of paper on the door that plainly stated my name under hers, I soon learned that there was much more to Mrs. Davis than the stories and my fantasies. Teacher Appreciation Week has made me think about Mrs. Davis and my fifth-grade year at Cassingham. Mrs. Davis was the most loving, passionate, and dedicated person I have ever met. Her enthusiastic style of teaching inspired my classmates and

me to be active in our own learning. I played Abigail Adams in our class reenactment of the â€œBoston ANNA Tea Party.â€? I FECHTOR can still feel my heart pounding as I stepped forward to present the letter I had written to John Adams, encouraging him to stand strong against the British in the fight for independence. Delighted with the drama of the scene, Mrs. Davis laughed from her big wicker chair, proud that we had mastered the history lesson and brought it to life. The novel â€œPenelope,â€? written by Mrs. Davis and complete with details from her own childhood, thrilled us. I would say it even encouraged my voice as a writer. As a 10-year-old, I was not familiar with a form of autobiographical fiction that could depict actual facts in my life topped with imaginative detail. Mrs. Davisâ€™s animated personality inspired my

Letters to the editor, columns welcomed

classmates to be creative writers and thinkers. The self-expression that Mrs. Davis uncovered in me remains important in my work as a writer and an artist to this day. Mrs. Davis always reassured us that we would have a final reunion before she took her â€œvictory lapâ€? and retired. Our class reunion happened to be on March 15, 2011. Having arrived home from a trip late the night before, I forgot about the reunion. Mrs. Davis died in a car accident that same afternoon. Nothing can describe the flood of guilt, memories, and sorrow that rushed to my head as I learned the news of her death. People always say that when something as tragic as this happens, you have to remember the good times and the good things about that person. However, looking back, I can remember nothing but good things about Molly Davis. Her devoted love and passion touched the lives of hundreds of people and I not only appreciate her as a teacher, I aspire to be the radiant, positive, inspiring person that she was. Anna Fechtor, a Bexley High School junior, was in Molly Davisâ€™s fifth-grade class at Cassingham in 2004-05.

Weâ€™ll leave no stone unturned in our effort to attract, retain and add jobs in the Columbus region. That includes reaching out globally and leveraging our great business connections throughout the world. We must think and act globally to make an impact locally. Itâ€™s no surprise that the Columbus region must compete for business beyond U.S. borders. The Columbus2020! team travels the globe to identify these opportunities. Attracting business and supporting international business interests in the region is the job of Deborah Scherer, director of Columbus2020! global markets. Under her direction, our team first will reach out to the nearly 300 foreign-owned businesses in our region and travel to Israel, Canada, India, China, Germany and several other European countries this year alone. It must be said that Japanese companies, led by Honda and its many suppliers, remain in our thoughts and prayers. We likely will visit Japan in the fall and continue to do all we can to strengthen our relationships with the many Japanese companies that provide so many good jobs across the Columbus region. When visiting our international contacts, we will tackle a full schedule of objectives. The first target is to visit headquarters of our existing businesses to thank them for investment in our region and to explore opportunities for expansion of their businesses. Second, we want to speak to companies doing business in the United States but without current facilities or people on the ground. Finally, it is important to meet with advisers and international business organizations that could spread the word that the Columbus region is a dynamic business location for international companies. We will do just that in a few weeks when our team travels to Germany and Israel. In February, our team traveled as part of a delegation to India, and the contacts made there are starting to foster interest in our region. Together with Franklin County, we led a team to New

Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and the Columbus sister city, Ahmedabad. We were able KENNY to represent a MCDONALD cross section of the regionâ€™s leading industries, including financial services, information technology, legal and education. Participants included the city of Columbus, Columbus Sister Cities International, Ohio State University, Jones Lang Lasalle, Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter, Bluemile Inc. and SGI Global Business Advisors. India is home to a growing number of companies looking to international markets for growth, and the U.S. market is tops on their lists. Over 10 days, our mission generated more than 40 meetings, resulting in new and strengthened relationships, business-development opportunities and institutional relationships that will benefit the region both economically and academically. Since returning from our trip, nearly 10 India-based companies have expressed an interest in visiting Columbus. Our objective for each economic development action,

whether as a meeting with many of our great companies in the region or a visit abroad, is to generate more foreign direct investment, more jobs and more global connections. To do that effectively, we must continue to invest in these efforts month after month and year after year. When we travel to Germany and Israel, our goal will be to create awareness of the Columbus area and its many assets. Our regionâ€™s growing talent base, work ethic, logistics and technology strengths, established industry sectors and easy market access are just some of the reasons that international businesses thrive here. We will continue to demonstrate why the Columbus area makes sense as a location for their U.S. business operations. International business is a key part of our economic diversity in Columbus, and it is a natural extension of our efforts to develop jobs and investment here. We are proud to represent such a robust region and are excited about our appointments around the world. Kenny McDonald is chief economic officer for Columbus2020!

Vaud-Villities annual show St. Charlesâ€™ Udeagbala named will â€˜Celebrate!â€™ new locale National Achievement Scholar By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Almost a surer sign of spring in central Ohio than the blooming of flowers is the arrival of another show by Vaud-Villities Productions. Back for an annual series of performances, the self-described â€œAmericaâ€™s longest-running music and dance spectacularâ€? will take place May 18-22. The title of this yearâ€™s show is â€œCelebrate!â€? and part of the celebration will be of the troupeâ€™s inaugural performance in a new, permanent home at the Northland Performing Arts Center. Located in a portion of the old JC Penney building on the site of the defunct Northland Mall, the new headquarters brings together every aspect of the operations of Vaud-Villities, according to board chairman Kent D. Stuckey. Although Vaud-Villities officials had anticipated the overhaul of the former department store would have been almost completed in time for last yearâ€™s show, the occupancy and food-service permits were only recently obtained. Last yearâ€™s show took place on the stage of what was once Upper Arlington High School, where the first performance took place in 1943. Stuckey said that Vaud-Villities has been â€œat the mercyâ€? of a construction contractor who still hasnâ€™t completed all the work two years past the deadline. â€œBut the show must go on,â€? he said. And it will. And the performers canâ€™t wait, according to Toni Auch, artistic director since 1993. â€œI think theyâ€™re really riding high now,â€? Auch said. â€œAll of the things theyâ€™ve been practicing are coming to a head. Once the curtain started going up they really got excited. The performers said, â€˜This is really looking like a theatre.â€™ â€? The seating riser system for the Performing Arts Center is in place, Stuckey said last week.

other performing arts groups and the local community. â€œWe think that this could serve as a model for redevelopment across the country, to repurpose mall facilities for community use.â€? Members of the Vaud-Villities cast and crew come from all across Columbus, all parts of Franklin County and even beyond, according to Auch. While the new facility involves a major investment on the part of Vaud-Villities Productions, Stuckey said that the troupeâ€™s costs will actually be reduced by bringing the entire operation into one location. â€œWe now have a facility that meets all of our rehearsal, warehouse and set shop needs,â€? he said. The lower operating costs, Stuckey added, open up a â€œhuge landscape of new opportunities,â€? including additional productions by Vaud-Villities throughout the year, hosting special events and providing a venue for community activities. In fact, Stuckey said that a Christmas production is being planned and Vaud-Villities will participate in some way in Halloween events at the Northland Performing Arts Center. The Ohio State University Department of Dance, he added, will be using the center for two years while Sullivant Hall undergoes renovation. â€œThereâ€™s no growth without struggle,â€? Stuckey said. â€œWeâ€™re now past that phase to where we realize the fruits of our investment and our work.â€? â€œThereâ€™s more to be excited

about than to be unhappy about or concerned about,â€? Auch said. â€œThere are so many things that have really worked out well. We didnâ€™t know how successful weâ€™d be being in a totally different area of the city, but a lot of us remember way back when Northland was the place to go.â€? The Morse Road corridor, where the mall was a focal point until it closed in 2002, is now undergoing a major revitalization, the artistic director noted. â€œItâ€™s great to be part of that,â€? Auch said. â€œWe feel very good about what weâ€™ve got here,â€? Stuckey said. The 69th consecutive annual show for Vaud-Villities will not only celebrate the new venue, according to Auch, but also the things all people celebrate, such as the circus, Broadway musicals and patriotic songs. â€œWeâ€™re kind of doing a reprise of some things that were very successful in the past,â€? she said. â€œCelebrateâ€? will include a circus celebration with marching band and dancing clowns, production numbers from Broadway hits, professionally choreographed dance routines and a finale featuring the combined menâ€™s and womenâ€™s choirs. â€œWe love to sing patriotic music and music thatâ€™s very touching, meaningful,â€? Auch said. â€œWhen you put the full group together plus dancers, it puts over 100 people on stage. Thatâ€™s kind of an overwhelming feeling, particularly when itâ€™s patriotic music because it touches the heart.â€? kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

He earned the distinction based upon his score on last yearâ€™s Pre-Scholastic Aptitude/National Merit Qualifying Test. The National Achievement Scholarship Program is an academic competition established in 1964 to provide recognition for outstanding Black American high school students and earn recognition based on the results of the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test they take as high school juniors. Udeagbala attended grade school at Liberty Christian Academy and is a member of the Church of the Resurrection parish. He was chosen to receive a $2,500 merit scholarship, which he will use at Columbia University this fall as he begins work toward a degree in biomedical engineering and ultimately, attend-

ing medical school. Udeagbala has been involved in extracurricular activities throughout his time in high school. He is a member of the National Honor Society, Student Council and the schoolâ€™s nationally recognized Osaze C. Engineering Team. He is the Udeagbala founder and president of the St. Charles Speech Club as well as an editor on the student newspaper, The Carolian. He played soccer and ran track during his freshman, sophomore and junior years. He has also been involved in service projects, both at school and in his parish. As a freshman he journeyed to Nigeria to help in a free clinic. He has helped the homeless through efforts at Bethany Presbyterian Church, worked at Shepherdâ€™s Corner and Gospel Road Church and as a member of the Gamma Chi Beta project at Church of the Resurrection.

Lt. Steven Zilberman

Memorial for Bexley grad scheduled Friday morning The Bexley City School District will honor its late alumnus, U.S. Navy Lt. Steven Zilberman, with a ceremony in the Cassingham Complex main entrance lobby at 8 a.m. Friday, May 13. Members of the Zilberman family will join school administrators, staff members and students in dedicating a memorial plaque just outside Bexley High School’s Schottenstein Theatre. The Lt. Steven Zilberman Armed Service Award will be inscribed with the names of future Bexley High School students who enlist in the armed forces upon graduation. Zilberman’s plane crashed in the North Arabian Sea on Mar 31, 2010, during a mission supporting operations in Afghanistan, according to Military Times. When the plane experienced mechanical malfunction, the Navy pilot ordered his three crew members to bail out. All three survived without significant injuries. Born in the Ukraine, Zilberman immigrated with his family to Ohio and graduated from Bexley High School in 1997. He enlisted in the U.S.

Faith and Fellowship

Navy after high school and eventually earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. His wife, Katrina, and two young children survive. A U.S. Naval Reserve color guard from the Rickenbacker Air National Guard facility will assist with the ceremony, presenting the plaque to the school district. Family, friends and others will speak about the young lieutenant. “We wanted to honor Lt. Zilberman in the most dignified and appropriate way possible,” said Harley Williams, Bexley’s principal of secondary schools. Students will view the ceremony and dedication via closed-circuit television. They will discuss the event, in terms of the themes of leadership, service and caring, using Zilberman’s biography and guides provided by the school’s guidance department. Bartha Visual has donated services to record and edit, providing DVD copies to the school and the Zilberman family. www.ThisWeek NEWS.com

In brief

MORISON Continued from page A1

Career Closet moving to Dress for Success

Bexley employees, do great work and make this city proud.” Bexley City Council President Jeff McClelland said Morison will be missed. “Jed's departure from council will be a major loss to council and to the city,” he said. “His leadership, his dedication to the office and his unmistakable even demeanor are examples for any one who would ever serve on Council to follow. He is also a good friend.” Bexley service diretor Bill Harvey echoed McClelland’s sentiments. “Jed Morison has been a valuable member of Bexley City Council for many years,” Harvey said. “Personally, I will miss his guidance and leadership. I'm sure everyone who works with Jed appreciates his commitment to the city. He is really dedicated to the people of Bexley.” Morison’s announcement is the third by a city council candidate to date. Incumbent Mark Masser recently announced he will seek re-election and challenger Tim Madison, son of longtime Bexley mayor David Madison, has also announced. Incumbent council members Ben Kessler and McClelland have not announced their intentions. So, officially, only two candidates have announced for the four seats that will be up for election in November. The filing deadline is Aug. 10. jdonahue@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeek NEWS.com

The Career Closet, a program offering free job interview clothing to central Ohio women in need, has moved from the retail store of Goodwill Columbus on Morse Road to the headquarters of Dress for Success Columbus on North High Street. Goodwill operated the Career Closet at the Morse Road retail store for the last three years. Margie Pizzuti, president and CEO of Goodwill Columbus, said the need to provide one-on-one counseling on interview-appropriate clothing proved challenging to the Goodwill staff. One-on-one personal shopping assistance is a service Dress for Success provides every day, according to Vicki Bowen Hayes, the organization’s executive director.

COLUMBUS CREATURE FEATURE Asian Elephants

Hi Kids! Here’s a picture of my friend Phoebe walking around with her son, Beco. She is one of the Asian elephants you can visit at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Learn at the Zoo

Phoebe has lived at the Columbus Zoo since 2002. She is 24 years old and has had three calves. Two of her sons, Bodhi and Beco, live here too. Just like our moms, Phoebe taught Beco and Bodhi how to swim, find food and stay out of harm’s way.

• Keeper for a Day: for ages 13-17 years May: • ZooTots: for ages 18-36 months • Twilight Tours • Family Class: Backyard Birding • ZooKids: for ages 3-5 years • Wild Encounters Tours: for ages • After School at the Zoo: 10 years & up for grades 3 – 7

When they were each about seven months old, she led them into the deep end of the pool where they learned to kick and splash to stay afloat. If they got tired and needed help, she would extend her leg so they could hold on and rest. What a marvelous mom! You can adopt an Asian elephant at www.columbuszoo.org.

Looking Ahead: • Summer Day Camps: for ages 3-5 and grades 1-7 • Family Class: Backyards for Wildlife • Family Night Hikes To register visit: www.columbuszoo.org

Zoo Kid Corner

Adam R. from Grove City, OH Age: 7 Education Program: Home School Adventure Series

• Adam loves coming to the Zoo to see his favorite animal, Hanna, the reticulated python. Hanna lives in our Asia Quest region and can be found lounging in her pool on most days. • Adam also enjoys coming to our Home School Adventure Series. His favorite class topic this year was the rainforest, because Sid, our two-toed sloth, came to visit the class. He watched Sid closely while he hung on his branch eating peaches and eggs. • When asked if he could go anywhere in the world to see an animal in the wild, Adam said Africa to see gorillas. Adam likes watching the gorillas that live at our Zoo play outside on warm days.

Senior Jennifer DeLong competes in the discus for Columbus School for Girls on April 13. The Unicorns will compete in the home CCL meet Thursday, May 12 and Saturday, May 14.

UNICORNS Continued from page B1 “We’re doing very well,” second-year coach Lori Baldwin said. “I’m pretty pleased with the girls. (At the Guy Invitational) we had a (personal-best time) in our (3,200 relay) of 9:54, so breaking 10 minutes was nice. We’ve added Enri to the (3,200 relay) and she ran a 2:27 split, which is great considering she’s a sprinter.” •The lacrosse team celebrated its senior night May 5 with a 12-7 victory over Olentangy Liberty, a Division I team that entered the matchup having gone 6-0-1 over its previous seven games. The contest marked the final regular-season home game for seniors Laura Hadley, Julia Kelley, Emma McGregor, Megan Murray, Bridget O’Donnell, Elizabeth Simmons and Samantha Wobst. McGregor had five goals and Kelley scored three. “We played as a team (against Liberty), which was awesome,” second-year coach Lindsay Pieper said. “We had great ball movement up and down the field and it was an all-around great game. Emma McGregor played very well considering she’s coming off an injury, and all of the seniors played really well. They played with such intensity for it being their last regular-season home game.” The Unicorns were voted the third seed for the Division II South/Central Region tournament and will open the postseason May 19 at home against Cincinnati Seven Hills or Kings Mills Kings. The winner plays Bexley or Hartley on May 24 in a regional semifinal. CSG lost to Hartley 10-9 on March 31 but beat Bexley 145 on April 21. The Unicorns

Making Adjustments: Worthington Kilbourne sophomore Hannah Loveday has had to make plenty of adjustments, transferring from Gallipolis Gallia Academy where she finished sixth in the shot put in the Division II state meet. Loveday has become one of the top performers for the track and field team. Worst to First: The Olentangy baseball team defeated Westerville North 9-2 on May 6 to clinch the OCC-Cardinal Division title a year after finishing last. The league title is the first for the Braves since 2007. "It's great because not a lot of guys get the experience of winning a league championship," junior Woody Wallace said. A Delayed Victory: Upper Arlington’s Olivia Menden won the 1,600 meters on May 6. Runners were 350 meters into the race when it was delayed more than 90 minutes because of lightning. “When they stopped us, I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’”

BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER PROJECT

State funding aids early detection In December of 1989 Elizabeth Cassady’s mother Roberta informed her “We realize that it’s unrealistic to expect the BCCP to family that she had been diagnosed receive more funding during these tough economic with breast cancer.

So every year she would er’s diagnosis and her higher risk. mother’s diagnosis Elizabeth was 25-

“Every year before my screening, I would simply change the date on the appeal letter I sent the year before as I expected the insurance company would deny payment for my mammogram,” Elizabeth said. For Elizabeth, her annual encounter with the red tape was worthwhile as the screenings gave her knowledge and peace of mind. A couple years ago Elizabeth began working contract jobs and found herself unable to afford health insurance or the cost of screenings — yet her income was too high to be eligible for the state’s Medicaid program. Even more frightening, the team at the Columbus Cancer Clinic detected a mass in her left breast during her annual mammogram.

Needing a second screening and an ultrasound, the Cancer Clinic informed Elizabeth that she would be eligible for assistance through the state’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Project (BCCP). Administered by the Ohio Department of Health through funding by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state budget appropriations, the BCCP provides mammograms, diagnostic testing and case management services to low-income women in Ohio who don’t have insurance coverage and fall in the eligibility gap for the state’s Medicaid system. Last year, the Ohio BCCP screened See STATE, on next page

SURVIVOR CEREMONY

Regina Brett to speak at post-race event On May 14, downtown Columbus will be transformed into a sea of pink as thousands gather to participate in the annual Susan G. Komen Columbus Race for the Cure. Within the crowd of pink-clad peopleâ€”there were more than 50,000 participants in 2010â€”certain individuals stand out because they are just a little bit pinker than all the rest. Hundreds of breast cancer survivors, marked by their solid pink t-shirts, will run and walk the 5K race course this yearâ€”accompanied by family, friends and the Central Ohio community. After the race, all survivors will be invited to participate in the Sur-

vivor Ceremony & Celebration, an empowering, inspirational event that will start at 10:45 a.m. on the west steps of the Ohio Statehouse. The keynote speaker for this yearâ€™s celebration knows all too well what it means to be a breast cancer survivor. Regina Brett has been cancer-free for 14 years. She has sisters and cousins who have lost their lives to the disease. Her daughter found out in 2007 that she, like Brett, carried the BRCA1 gene, which can cause breast cancer, and chose to have her breasts surgically removed. Brett is a well-known and respected columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and a Pulitzer Prize finalist twice for pieces she

wrote for the newspaper. She is also the author of God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Lifeâ€™s Little Detours, an inspirational collection of essays, and she hosts a weekly call-in radio show on Northeast Ohioâ€™s NPR affiliate station. At the Columbus survivor ceremony, Brett will celebrate breast cancer survivorship surrounded by fellow survivors and those closest to themâ€”in addition to thousands of other Ohioans. As each survivor crosses the finish line, they will receive a pink rose and be asked to proceed to Survivor Palooza, a special tented area designated for survivors, to prepare to be honored at the

ceremony. During the event, they will parade across the Statehouse lawn in order of length of survivorshipâ€”from those undergoing treatment to those who have been cancer-free for decadesâ€” and assemble on the steps of the Statehouse to be recognized. The celebration wonâ€™t be without music. The Hot Pink Racers, a local band that combines punk rock and pink, will get the crowd moving. The band was organized exclusively for the Columbus Race for the Cure by Joe Cygan, the widower of Heather Pick, a Columbus television news anchor who lost her fight with breast cancer in 2008. Rebekah Smith, a talented young Columbus singer,

will also perform with accompianist Scott Solchert. Awards will be given to survivors and top runners. All are welcome on the State-

house lawn after the race this year to join in this amazing celebration of survivorshipâ€”and be part of finding a cure to end breast cancer forever.

13,591 women - of which 213 were diagnosed with breast cancer. Unfortunately as the state has faced difficult budget challenges in recent years, funding for the program has been significantly reduced. Based on the most recent data, 150,601 women in Ohio (8 percent of the population) are eligible for BCCP however only 11 percent of that population can be screened at current funding levels. In the proposed state budget for fiscal years 2012-2013, funding for the Ohio BCCP program is reduced by another $228,000 over the next two years translating into roughly 1,300 fewer screenings. Ohioâ€™s Komen affiliates recognize the stateâ€™s fiscal situation, so instead of asking legislative leaders to restore funding at levels from previous years, the request is to refrain from any additional reductions. â€œWe realize that itâ€™s unrealistic to expect the BCCP to receive more funding during these tough economic times,â€? Komen Columbus Executive Director Katie Carter said. â€œWhen the current budget problems are resolved and the state can dedicate more resources toward prevention, we will continue to show the cost benefits of early screening versus treatment and ask that funding be increased.â€? While state lawmakers work to reform the Medicaid system to reduce costs and improve health outcomes for Ohioans, advocates for the BCCP warn that any additional reduction in access to the screening program will only lead to increases in overall health care costs. While the average cost of BCCP services is $175, the cost of treating later stage breast cancer can exceed

OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEER

Carole Morbitzer selected for award Morbitzer says she got involved with Komen Columbus after coaching a close volleyball match. One of her star players, Lindsey, seemed distracted. Later, on the bus ride home, she noticed Lindsey and four other girls crying. Once they returned to school she approached Lindsey and discovered that her mother had just been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. “I stood there in the rain with Lindsey, her head on my shoulder and we both cried,” Morbitzer said. “When I got in the car, it hit me. Those other four girls who were crying with Lind-

sey...their mothers had breast cancer also.” Knowing she had to get involved, Morbitzer entered her school in the High School Team Challenge Program for the Komen Columbus Race for the Cure in 2000. The Hamilton Township team continues to grow every year due to a combination of new students joining with alumni, friends, and family. Last year the team reached an all time high of 816 members, and Morbitzer hopes that number will be surpassed this year. One of those alumni running

with her every year is Lindsey, who was also one of the first people Morbitzer called after finding out she received the Outstanding Individual Volunteer Award. “[Lindsey] began to cry and said, ‘I am so proud of you.’” Morbitzer said. “In my 16-year career, I have told hundreds of students that I am proud of them. It was the first time that a former student said those words to me.” In the 11 years Morbitzer has coached volleyball with Hamilton Township, she has had seven players experience their mothers’ battles with breast cancer. This motivated her to raise an incredible $95,027 for the Columbus Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure through Race registrations, pledges,Volley for the Cure events and other donations. “Every year I learn of more students who are affected by breast cancer,” Morbitzer said. “I will do everything I can for the rest of my career to get students involved in the fight against breast cancer. I will continue to encourage students to participate in the Race for the Cure every year...now and for the rest of their lives...or better yet, until there is a cure.” Each year, Morbitzer not only organizes a team to be in the race, but another 200 volunteers at the start line. Her group even choreographed a dance they taught to breast cancer survivors and then performed at the Survivor Ceremony on Race day. She says her students have a great time during the race, but do remember what is important, the survivors. “When the survivors come through those State House doors [at the Survivor Ceremony], I will look around and I will see several students in tears,” Morbitzer said, “It is during those moments when I have realized that my students get it. They understand why they are there and realize that they are a part of something amazing.” Under Morbitzer’s tireless direction, every year a new group of students becomes engaged in the breast cancer cause not only at Hamilton Township, but in Central Ohio, as she provides advice and suggestions to other area high schools for forming Race teams and planning Volley for the Cure events. As Outstanding Individual Volunteer of the Year, Morbitzer shares this advice for those participating in their first Race for the Cure: “You may have seen footage of the race on TV or looked at pictures in the paper, but you cannot truly understand what it is like until you have participated in the race. It is an experience like no other. To think that over 50,000

They’ll be around, however, for the choir’s 15th birthday season, which closes with concerts Sunday, May 15, at Capital University’s Mees Hall. The season’s theme has been “The World of Music,” and that theme continues both by virtue of the program itself — which includes music by Canadian and Danish composers, a Chinese folk song, South African freedom song Siyahamba and more — but also the welcoming of guest performers Con Brio children’s choir (3 p.m. performance) and the Columbus International Children’s Choir (7 p.m.). “It’s amazing,” longtime music director Sandra Mathias told The Beat. “We’re really excited. We’ve invited kids back who’ve been with us in all that time” for the concerts. Tickets are $10/$8. Call (614) 220-5555.

DiBella’s: Our bread rises to the occasion So you’re thinking, “Yawn. Not another sub shop.” Indeed, another national sandwich chain has picked Columbus for its next Ohio store. DiBella’s Old Fashioned Submarines, based in Rochester, N.Y., has opened at 4949 Tuttle Crossing Blvd. Adam Burton, chief marketing officer for the company, stresses that DiBella’s is not just another sandwich shop. “Once you try our subs, you’re not going to want anybody else’s,” he said. “Give it a shot. Trust me: It’s better than anything you’ve ever had.” DiBella’s joins countless other sub shops in the region, both national and homegrown, including Subway, Jersey Mike’s, Quiznos, Penn Station, Jimmy

John’s, Potbelly, Charlie’s Grilled Subs, w.g. Grinders and Johnny Buccelli’s. One key difference, Burton said, is the bread. The frozen dough is delivered raw to each of the company’s 21 corporate stores, where it proofs and is baked on site. Another distinction is that DiBella’s does not toast its subs “because we don’t think that’s fair to our bread,” he said. Similar to other sandwich chains, it offers cold and grilled meats, topped with a choice of cheeses and condiments. Subs come in small (7 inches), medium (10) and large (14). The menu

is rounded out with green salads and fresh-baked cookies, chips and pasta, macaroni and potato salads. DiBella’s started as an Italian grocery store in 1918 and began selling subs about 30 years ago. It became a subs-only business 20 years ago and began expanding five years later. “It had a personal feel that really resonated with customers,” Burton said, adding that DiBella’s has 21 stores in four states. The location for the first Columbus store, an outparcel at the main entrance of the Mall at Tuttle Crossing, was chosen because of the high traffic counts, growth in the area and stellar demographics, Burton said. The 4,000-square-foot space formerly was occupied by a Cord Camera. A patterned ceiling, subwaytiled floors, red neon signs, dinerstyle booths give an “old-school” atmosphere, he said. “From the first step you take in the door, you will notice the difference,” Burton said. “It doesn’t feel like a chain when you come in.” David Kincheloe, president of National Restaurant Consultants, said the fast-casual segment of the industry is flourishing because of the economy. As long as DiBella’s differentiates itself from the throng of current sandwich shops, it can thrive, even in the competitive central Ohio market, he said. “If they’re providing what is

Preparing your teen for college Have a college-bound teen? It’s never too early to start prepping for financial and personal safety on campus. Having a child that is getting ready to graduate and head off to college can be an exciting time. It is also a great time to take the opportunity to teach teens how to keep their guards up and to protect themselves before they have to learn the hard way. So here are a few tips to consider discussing with your teen before he or she heads off to college: Give kids a chance to manage money. A great way to build your children’s financial foundation is to open a checking and savings account in their names. Ensure that they understand how to balance their checkbooks and make timely entries as money comes and goes. With a savings account, they’ll be able to see the value as the account grows and will feel em-

powered by contributing to the account. Add a bit of reality to financial conversations. If ERIC your teen is anxious to CLARKE rent his first apartment and live off campus, show him your monthly bills. This should help him gain a better understanding of how much things really cost and how much he will need to budget to cover his bills before he gets in over his head. Is a free T-shirt worth access to a Social Security number? The likely answer is, probably not, but our teens might not see it that way. This is a time when teens need to learn about how to care for their “identity” and how quickly thieves can steal their identity.

This is an opportune time to give your children a basic understanding about the access their Social Security numbers provide to their identity and how long it can take to repair their credit if it gets into the wrong hands. Not sure where to start? Some of this information might be provided during your teen’s college orientation, but if you’d like to give your teen an advantage, you might consider consulting your financial institution for tips on talking to teens or seek seminars offered on such topics as campus safety, protecting your identity and the do’s and don’ts of having that first credit card.
