Agreements would create 109 jobs By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin is working to retain a growing hometown restaurant headquarters. City council members this week heard the first reading of an economic development agreement that could keep City Barbeque’s headquarters in Dublin.

The current headquarters on Riverside Drive aren’t big enough to handle the growth of City Barbeque that was founded in 1999 by Dublin resident Rick Malir. The company currently has 15 corporate-owned locations, with two set to open this year and an expansion plan of three additional sites each year. “City Barbeque is out of room in its

leased space on Riverside Drive,” economic development administrator Colleen Gilger said. The company has identified a site on Emerald Parkway to build its new 5,000square-foot facility, she said. The proposed economic development agreement includes a $7,500 location grant and five-year, 20-percent per-

formance incentive on income-tax withholdings, capped at $45,000 for retaining 17 jobs and creating 10 by the end of 2015. The city anticipates paying City Barbeque slightly less than $50,000 in the agreement but will collect an estimated $161,500 in income-tax withholdings over the term of the agreement,

Gilger said. “Does this mean they’ll have a store in Dublin?” council member Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher asked. “We’re working on it,” Gilger said. The first reading on an economic development agreement with Netsmart See AGREEMENTS, page A6

Enforcement, HELPING OTHERS tickets coming to historic district By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Anyone caught exceeding the time limit on Historic Dublin parking could receive a ticket this week. Enforcement of parking limits in the historic district has been increased from two days a week to five following a recent parking study, with four more staff members taking on ticketing duties. According to Jeff Tyler, Dublin’s director of building standards, enforcement began May 9 in spots recently changed from a two-hour time limit to three hours. “We plan on having time-limited enforcement five days a week,” he told council on May 9. Enforcement started with warnings while staff members were being trained, Tyler said, but training would take only a “few days” and then tickets would be issued. On behalf of some other Historic Dublin businesses, Woodhouse Day Spa owner Alan Reuter urged strong enforcement.

“We met with Shamrock Towing today, and they can tow and issue tickets with the city’s permission,” he said, adding that the option would come at a low or no cost. “Without enforcement nothing can happen. We can spend money and spend money and spend money, but without enforcement, there is nothing.” Council members said one of the primary problems with parking lies with Historic Dublin workers and valet parking. Employees in the historic district park in timed spots and move their vehicles to another spot when the time expires, Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher said. Valet staff members often use parking spots in close proximity to the business. Taylor said employee and valet parking could be moved to the seldom-used Indian Run lot. The city also is considering parking deals with the library and Dublin Community Church for employees and valet. Taylor suggested using the InSee TICKETS, page A8

Bridge Street corridor

Form-based code proposed for area Dublin schools look at timing of next levy By JENNIFER NOBLIT

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin is taking a new approach to code in the Bridge Street corridor. The city is considering formbased code to provide quality, predictability and economic competitiveness in its vision for redevelopment of the Bridge Street corridor. During an open house last week, city staff members worked to inform landowners and residents about the new form-based code they plan to use. “There are several reasons we’re using form-based code,” said Steve Langworthy, Dublin’s director of long-range planning and land use. “No. 1 is the advice we got from a number of national consultants that came to speak to us.” When crafting the vision plan for the Bridge Street corridor that extends along state Route 161, from Sawmill Road to the U.S. Route 33-Interstate 270 inter-

terchange, has been in the works since 2009, and an open house last week gave the public an opportunity to see the proposed formbased code. The area is divided into 11 different districts that are “all unique to the Bridge Street corridor,” said Steve Langworthy, director of long-range planning and land use. Form-based code is being used

to give developers predictability and a faster approval schedule (see related story on A1), although the Bridge Street vision plan is expected to take 20 to 30 years to realize. “This is going to take a long time to implement,” Langworthy said. “This is not going to happen

Dublin City Schools’ next levy will be on a November ballot, but whether it will be November 2011 or November 2012 remains uncertain. The Dublin Board of Education came to a consensus during its May 9 meeting that the March 2012 presidential primary wouldn’t be a good time to ask voters for a levy, but members were undecided about whether November of this year or next would be the best choice. Superintendent David Axner and treasurer Stephen Osborne came with the initial recommendation to put off the levy until 2012. The district’s most recent ballot attempt was in November 2008, when voters passed a combined 7.9-mill operating levy and $50-million bond package with 54 percent of the vote. At the time, the district promised to make that money last through fiscal year 2012. “It is our recommendation that we push any levy election back to 2012,” Axner said May 9. Axner and Osborne said they fear that the referendum on Senate Bill 5 might be on the November 2011 ballot and would draw levy opponents to the polls.

Form-based code proposed for Bridge Street corridor Continued from page A1 change, Dublin looked at the next generation and what types of people to attract. “Generation X and Y most often will pick a place where they want to live and then get a job,” Langworthy said. “It’s a different generation, and they have an idea of how they want to live.” With the Bridge Street corridor plan, Langworthy said, Dublin must figure out “how to create an environment they want to live in. … They don’t want single-family homes.” The sole focus isn’t just new residents, though. Langworthy said utilizing form-based code would draw developers, too. “It creates predictability,” he said. This is a change from the way things currently are done around Dublin. “Right now we lay out general parameters. Instead of doing that, we want to create a place,” Langworthy said during an openhouse presentation. “We will tell the developer what to build.” The predictability of formbased code comes from “more specific” standards, planner Rachel Ray said. The process for approval is expected to come after council approves the form-based code, Ray said. After it’s completed, it should be similar to a process used in the Central Ohio Innovation Center, using an administrative review team that consists of the director of planning, engineer, fire chief, police chief, city manager and other staff members. When developers approach the city about development, they’ll get information on “various building-type form requirements, architectural requirements, things that will promote pedestrian-friendly, walkable, urban development while preserving the development stan-

Event Lyndsey, Kyle 5K set for May 21 A 5K run and memory walk will be held May 21 to remember two Dublin Scioto High School students who were killed in a 2009 auto accident. Lyndsey Rice, 15, and Kyle Colello, 18, were killed in an accident Nov. 28, 2009. Rice, the youngest of seven siblings, was a cheerleader and member of the track team and volunteered at her church. Colello played football and lacrosse and planned to study mechanical engineering in college. The walk and race in their honor will be held at Scioto High School, 4000 Hard Road. Registration will begin at 7:45 a.m., with the race slated for 9 a.m. The mile-long memory walk will begin at 9:05 a.m. Registration for the 5K run and walk is $25 through May 14 and $30 up to race day. The race is $20 for students, and the memory walk is $15. Proceeds from the race will benefit the Lyndsey and Kyle Memorial Scholarship Fund.

dards Dublin is known for,” Ray said. Giving developers more predictability should lead to a quicker approval process, she said. “It speeds up approval,” Langworthy said. “If you match the code, you can walk in and get a building permit. There’s no planning and zoning (commission) approval.” As the process is proposed, applications wouldn’t go before the planning & zoning commission, but Historic Dublin development would go before the architectural review board. “It helps applicants understand what’s required of them so the process can be more efficient. The process is designed to be more applicant friendly and help facilitate the review process to make it more efficient,” Ray said. “Council has indicated that would be preferential for the commercial area and give us a competitive edge.” According to Ray, about 50 landowners, business owners,

residents and others attended last week’s open house to find out about the proposed form-based code. “I think it was more curiosity,” she said. “It’s a complex document, not something easily understood by people not used to dealing with code on a regular basis.” City staff members are offering to meet with property owners along the Bridge Street corridor to discuss what’s proposed, Ray said. A joint session of council, planning & zoning, the architectural review board and board of zoning appeals is slated for 6:30 p.m. May 24 and 6:30 p.m. June 20. The locations have yet to be announced. Another Bridge Street corridor open house is slated for 2 to 7 p.m. June 8 at the Dublin Community Recreation Center, 5600 Post Road.

BLOOMING By the COLOR YARD As Far As The Eye Can See ThisWeek file photo

Westerville Police Chief Joe Morbitzer stands among the 2,000 flags at the Field of Heroes dedication ceremony last year at the Westerville Sports Complex. The city of Dublin plans to host a similar “Field of Honor” this year.

Dublin to honor 9-11 with field of flags By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With the recent death of Osama Bin Laden, the events of Sept. 11, 2001, are on the minds of many. For more than a year, Dublin AM Rotary president Dave Connelly has been concentrating on it and how Dublin could honor the efforts of first-responders and others 10 years later. “How can we harness that spirit of cooperation and unity we had on Sept. 12, 2001?” he said. “Knowing that Dublin is made up of the most incredible volunteer-spirited people I have ever seen, I thought, ‘How can we marry those two?’” The answer, a “Field of Honor,” came from a Memorial Day event the Westerville Sunrise Rotary has been holding for the past few years. Connelly attended the Rotary International conference last year with a Westerville Rotary member who had told him about the Field of Heroes project that puts 2,000 full-sized flags in a field to honor personal heroes. “This literally goes back to last June, when we were talking about what clubs can do to be impactive in our communities,” Connelly said. “The theme is building communities, bridging continents, and this project ties so well into that.” The Colonial Flag Foundation started the effort, which initially honored those killed in the 9-11 terrorist attacks and showed “the sheer enormity of human loss that occurred,” the website states. After getting permission from the Colonial Flag Foundation to have a Field of Honor in Dublin, Connelly worked to get the community involved. “We met with Dublin, and (city

manager) Marsha (Grigsby) went to council and the city committed $10,000. Washington Township also committed $10,000,” Rotary member Sue Burness said. Recruiting other Dublin organizations such as the chamber of commerce, the convention & visitors bureau, the Dublin Arts Council, the library, Kiwanis, historical society, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and Dublin Garden Club was next on the list. Connelly said it’s been easy. “I don’t want it to be about terrorism, war, politics or anything else. We want to keep it on the spirit we all felt on Sept. 12 (2001),” he said. “To me this isn’t a Rotary thing. We happened to initiate the idea, but we want to make sure this is something we are all in together. … I don’t know that we’ve had a group yet tell us no.” The Dublin school district is involved and will provide the site for the 3,000 flags that will be erected to honor everyone who died in the 9-11 attacks. The Field of Honor will be in a Dublin Coffman High School practice field on Emerald Parkway, across from Cardinal Health, from Sept. 10 to 12. “It’s an opportunity not only to pay tribute and commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9-11, but also to remember the day and teach the kids who don’t remember or weren’t even born yet,” Burness said. The 3-by-5-foot flags can be purchased for $20. Sales began last week during table sales for the Independence Day concert. Any excess funds raised for the Dublin Field of Honor will be funneled into scholarships for first-responders, Burness said,

and the Dublin Foundation is involved to help with the effort. “The main stress is the spirit of cooperation and unity we all felt on Sept. 12. That’s what we’re trying to harness by bringing together all the service organizations in Dublin to hold an event that will help us to never forget,” Connelly said. “That is the whole thrust of the program.” Committees organizing the different aspects of the Dublin Field of Honor will begin to meet as soon as this week, Connelly said.

Community band slates first concert

Commentary & opinion Columbus2020!

International business community will see Columbus as opportunity Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 to represent a cross section of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading industries, including financial services, information technology, legal and edu-

cation. Participants included the city of Columbus, Columbus Sister Cities International, Ohio State KENNY University, MCDONALD 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&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

With less than four months of practice under its belt, the Concert Band of Dublin will debut May 18. The community band held its first practice Jan. 31, and organizer Tim Jameson said more than 100 people have been to at least one rehearsal. The Monday evening practices average about 80 musicians, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really great given the fact that this time last year there was no community band in Dublin,â&#x20AC;?

Entries also were accepted from Madison and Pickaway counties. ThisWeek received several entries for the contest, which concluded April 30.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sparke concerto has a Latin, jazzy style so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be real fun. There are pieces between Brett and the trombone section of the band,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They kind of battle.â&#x20AC;? The 7:30 p.m. May 18 concert is free and will be held at Radiant Life Church, 7100 Post Road. A free-will donation will be taken at the concert. The Concert Band of Dublinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second performance also has been set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the last Fourth of July, I was on stage with Cathy Boring from city council and announced to the community I was forming a community band, and we hoped in 2011 the newly formed band will be here on the stage,â&#x20AC;? Jameson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a somewhat bold thing to do given we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done anything yet.â&#x20AC;? The band is set to play at the Independence Day celebration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be opening for Smokey Robinson,â&#x20AC;? Chesser said.

The Concert Band of Dublin is open to all, Chesser said, and despite many playing levels, the group is talented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people will be astonished at how well the band plays given the fact that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only been together for three months,â&#x20AC;?

AGREEMENTS Continued from page A1 Technologies also was heard. “The company has recently been acquired by new ownership in New York,” Gilger said. The proposed economic development agreement would retain 104 workers currently in Dublin and bring 99 from New York, she said. The agreement with the software company includes a four-year, 10-percent performance incentive on withholdings collected, capped at $100,000, for signing a five-year lease in Dublin, retaining the 104 jobs and creating 99 new positions in Dublin. The company also could receive two additional $30,000 retention grants for signing two additional three-year leases beyond the initial five-year term. If the company remains in Dublin for 11 years, the city estimates, it will pay Netsmart about $150,823 and net $2.7 million in income-tax

withholdings. An $800,000 loan agreement with the builders of the senior-housing development, Avondale Woods, also was heard for the first time May 9. Deputy finance director Bryan Thurman said the city would loan $800,000 at 3-percent interest, with a balloon payment for any remaining principal and interest at the end of 40 years. “We wanted to make sure the project would get completed and NCR pledged its assets and guaranteed completion,” he said. Construction for the $11.3 million 100-unit senior-housing development is expected to start in the summer and, per the loan agreement, must be completed within 18 months. The second and final reading for the loan agreement and economic development agreements will be May 23. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

dian Run lot and five-day city enforcement prior to towing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My concern is the message it sends to patrons in the district,â&#x20AC;? he said. The city also will work to improve the Indian Run parking lot. Dublin City Council members approved $357,300 in improvements May 9. Lighting to the tune of $106,000 will be installed in the lot to improve safety, as well as a sidewalk along North Street for $208,000. Parking lot repaving and a crosswalk also are included in improvements. Safety will be improved with more police patrols of the lot, Taylor said. The city is working toward a valet agreement with the owners of BriHi Square, Taylor said. Although improvements and plans are in the works, council members expressed a sense of urgency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It concerns me that there is a waiting period to see all this happen,â&#x20AC;? John Reiner said. Historic Dublin business owners expressed the same attitude. La Chatelaine owner Stan Wielezynski said that after months of working with staff members on the study, they want to see improvements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here with are very, very discouraged. The people we talked to today are very frustrated,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here tonight to beg you, beg you to consider our advice.â&#x20AC;? Council will continue to receive updates on Historic Dublin parking improvements at each meeting.

Board member Gwen Callender wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as convinced that a referendum would be detrimental to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levy chances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The passionate people are going to be out voting, and who are those people?â&#x20AC;? she asked rhetorically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not striking me as a negative, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not an expert.â&#x20AC;? If it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a presidential election year, the district would have three chances to pass a levy in 2012: in February, May and in November. The primary election is being held in March, however, so 2012 will have only two elections. If necessary, the district could ask for a special election in August, but the additional cost seemed to deter the board members from considering that option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we do wait until the last possible chance, which would be the fall of 2012, then again we would have to enter that school year with some reductions,â&#x20AC;? Axner said. The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current five-year forecast projects a $50 million deficit at the end of fiscal year 2013 unless a levy is passed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Should it fail, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lose a whole year of collection,â&#x20AC;? Osborne said. Callender and board member Chris Valentine seemed to favor going on the ballot this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think waiting until 2012 is very risky. We said weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be back in 2011, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011,â&#x20AC;? Callender said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a oneshot deal if we wait until 2012.â&#x20AC;? Board president Lynn May asked if a November 2011 levy would allow enough time to campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big machine,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems if we were going to go on (the ballot) this November, we would have started already.â&#x20AC;? The district must pass two resolutions to put a levy on the ballot, Osborne said, and both must be passed by early August. There was no discussion of the millage that would end up on the ballot, but Axner said the district would ask only for what it needs and would continue to trim any fat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably going to be in the range thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typical for school millage. â&#x20AC;Ś (Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ask for) what we need to operate our school and take care of our roofs and parking lots through this period of time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think regardless of how things end up, we need to trim (the budget and) be more efficient.â&#x20AC;?

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.

â&#x20AC;˘ 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. â&#x20AC;˘ 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. â&#x20AC;˘ 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.

Eleven individual districts laid out in corridor vision plan Continued from page A1 overnight.” The different areas of formbased code were determined using the Bridge Street corridor vision plan and looking at some uses already in place. Langworthy said the process was started with a vision plan for the Bridge Street corridor overlaid on what’s currently in place, shifting uses with property lines. For example, the proposed form-based code for Dublin Village Center is the Bridge Street corridor Sawmill Center District. “This district will accommodate a very wide variety of building types and permitted uses,” the district intent states. Permitted uses proposed for the “pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use shopping area” include multifamily dwellings, entertainment, parks, child or adult day care, hotels, a conference center, general

and medical offices, general retail establishments, restaurants and bars. Dublin’s 2007 community plan also calls for a mixed-use community center that could serve as a destination for residents. Other districts proposed within the plan are as follows: • The BSC residential district is mainly to the east of the Scioto River, between Dublin Village Center and Riverside Drive. The district’s primary uses are to “accommodate two-family, townhouse, live-work and multiplefamily uses in mid-rise development,” the intent states. • The BSC Indian Run district that is intended for the OCLC site and properties between Post Road and I-270 would carry “redevelopment of the area as a new, walkable, mixed-use core for the west end of the BSC area,” the intent states. Permitted uses include townhouse and multifamily

dwellings, hotels, general and medical offices, research and development, retail, restaurants and personal services. • The BSC commercial district that lies at the Shoppes at River Ridge and on state Route 161, east of Montgomery Drive, is proposed to “allow a variety of low-rise commercial uses,” the intent states. • The BSC office-residential district that covers areas along I270, between the river and Sawmill Road, and south of I-270, west of Dublin Road, is proposed to carry “a mix of office and multifamily residential development at higher densities and in larger building forms than those permitted in the BSC residential district,” the intent states. • The BSC public district “is intended to apply to a variety of public facilities, including but not limited to the school site and to lands in and adjacent to river and creeks,” where development is

limited because of the floodplain. • The BSC historic core district, which encompasses the Historic Dublin business district along High and Bridge streets, would “accommodate building types similar to existing buildings in the area, subject to review by the architectural review board,” the intent states. • The BSC historic transition district that applies to a portion of land between the Scioto River and North High Street and portions of state Route 161 could host “a variety of building types within a finer-grained street and block network consistent with that of Historic Dublin,” the intent states, and uses include residential, office, retail, entertainment, drinking and eating. • The BSC vertical mixed-use district currently is not mapped on any areas but is “available for application after areas initially zoned into the BSC Indian Run

WORLD-CLASS.

and BSC Sawmill Center districts area developed,” the intent states. The district allows for mid-rise mixed-use development with several uses, including dwellings, animal care, eating and drinking, entertainment, office, retail and fitness. • The residential districts — the BSC historic residential district and Indian Run neighborhood district — would include current residential areas and cause no change

in zoning, planner Rachel Ray has said. The districts are for use only within the Bridge Street corridor, Ray said, and they take up about 6 percent of Dublin. Dublin will hold another open house on the Bridge Street corridor from 2 to 7 p.m. June 8 at the Dublin Community Recreation Center, 5600 Post Road. Langworthy said the form-based code should be more “refined” by then.

DCVB uses Irish roots to lure visitors By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

According to the Dublin Convention & Visitors Bureau’s newest campaign, Irish children have 92 percent more fun. After research, focus groups and feedback, new ads touting Dublin’s Irish activities will hit cities across the state and beyond, trying to lure visitors to central Ohio’s own little slice if Ireland. Anyone with a little knowledge on Dublin’s history knows the city was founded by Germans, but DCVB executive director Scott Dring said most visitors think otherwise. So the DCVB will continue to use the Irish hook, including the “Irish is an attitude” slogan that has donned Dublin merchandise for the past few years. “The (city’s) name speaks to Irish,”

Dring said. “The name is something of a brand itself. And the community has really embraced the Irish thing we have going on. The three high schools’ mascots are the Shamrock, Celtics and Irish. It’s a fun, unique thing our community likes to have.” The DCVB offers 22 hands-on Irish experiences, such as the four-leaf clover scavenger hunt and an introduction to Gaelic. Local businesses also offer Irish flair, such as the Dublin Village Tavern’s Irish egg roll and Tehku Tea’s Kiss Me I’m Not Irish tea. Focus groups recently conducted in Springfield and Canton also showed that Dublin is associated with the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium and Zoombezi Bay, said communications and group tour specialist Mary Szymkowiak. Dring said the focus groups also re-

vealed a few things the DCVB already had known. “The overall perception of Dublin is a very clean, high-end community,” he said. “It’s inviting. We also heard charming and quaint.” The DCVB also heard that Dublin is considered a good destination. Dring said that could benefit the community as families avoid long travel for vacations because of rising gas prices. “They’re not driving here from Mississippi, but from Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit or Indianapolis,” he said. Dublin is promoting attractions beyond Irish-related activities. The zoo is a big draw, but the new ads also feature photos of golf courses, Historic Dublin and the Dancing Hares at Ballentrae Park. “People want to see that there are things

to do in the community,” Dring said. The DCVB will offer its “Kids Eat Free” package again this summer, providing a discounted stay at a Dublin hotel, coupons for children’s meals at local restaurants and passes to the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium and Zoombezi Bay. The package saw a 420-percent increase in sales last year. “People are still looking for value and are still staying close,” Dring said. “‘Kids Eat Free’was huge last year, and instead of staying status quo, we added COSI Columbus.” Along with highlighting the city’s Irish activities, the DCVB will look to new technologies to attract visitors. One new ad already printed in Ohio Magazine carries a QR code, readable on a smartphone, and leads directly to

the DCVB’s videos on YouTube. The DCVB will launch Pot o’ Gold QR codes in a partnership with local restaurants, Szymkowiak said. The QR code will lead to a website with restaurant deals. “It will tie businesses together as you go through Dublin,” she said. “It’ll make it more of a trip. It’s a fairly new technology so it’ll take a while to get going, but we wanted to offer them something in return.” No matter what hook is used, the DCVB is interested only in getting people to Dublin. The community will do the rest, Dring said. “The good thing is, once people come to the community, they come back,” he said. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Jeff Noble will marshal in this year’s Independence Day celebration in Dublin. The longtime Dublin resident was named Dublin’s grand marshal last week and will lead the July 4 parade and evening celebration that will include Smokey Robinson. “I am truly honored to have been selected to serve as grand marshal,” Noble said. “Dublin is a special place, and I treasure the wonderful relationships I have made through volunteering.” Noble has lived in Dublin since 1991 and is a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Army, having served as a helicopter pilot. Noble retired as vice president of Huntington Bank and has been married to Jane for 39 years. During his years in Dublin, Noble has volunteered at the Dublin Irish Festival for 16 years and has served as commander of the Wesley G. Davids Dublin Post 800 American Legion.

Each year, a grand marshal is chosen to lead Dublin’s Independence Day celebration, and honorees are chosen based on service and contributions they have made to the community. Dublin’s Fourth of July celebration will begin at 8 a.m. with the 26th annual Sherm Sheldon Fishing Derby. The parade is slated for 11 a.m., and the evening celebration at Coffman High School stadium will begin at 4:30 p.m. Smokey Robinson will perform at 8:15 p.m., with fireworks

The artist charged with creating Dublin’s bicentennial public artwork is seeking items to work into the historic artwork that will be installed on the Karrer barn property, at South High Street and Waterford Drive. Rhode Island-based Brower Hatcher is looking for such historical items as blacksmith tools or objects created by the forging process, according to information from the city. The artwork, which will consist of “a sophisticated trellis made of green, powder-coated, stainless-steel rods” in a 13-footsquare, 16-foot-tall building is representative of George M. Karrer’s blacksmith shop that once stood at the site, the release said. Hatcher will incorporate the donated items representative of See COMMUNITY, page B4

Education news Dublin ranks well in school efficiency study Ohio Education Matters rated the Dublin City School District as an efficient district in a statewide study. The study that looked at the costs of providing such non-instructional services as administration, food services, transportation and maintenance ranked Dublin City Schools in the top 5 percent of efficient districts in maintenance. “Dublin has shown that it can deliver quality services at a lower cost than most other districts in the state,” Andrew Benson, executive director of Ohio Education Matters, said in a press release from the district. “The taxpayers and residents of this community should be proud that their district takes seriously the best use of resources to benefit children.” The study examined the cost per pupil of non-instructional services. For example, the district spends $1,983 per student

annually on maintenance, according to the study. The average for the most efficient 5 percent of Dublin City Schools’ peer group of suburban districts with high median incomes and low poverty was $1,800. The study found that some districts spent as much as $4,472 per student on maintenance. Dublin pays $564.06 per student on central administration. Locally, Westerville pays $627.39 per pupil, and Hilliard pays $496.73, the study found. On school-level administration, Dublin pays $510.60 per student, which is above the benchmark average of $412.01. According to the study, Worthington pays $434.05 per pupil on school-level administration, and Hilliard pays $520.33. In Dublin, the district pays $4.29 per student on food services, compared to $3.51 per pupil in Hilliard and $8.84 per student in Upper Arlington, the study found. “We are appreciative of this recognition of our efforts to op-

Become a part of New

erate our district in the most efficient manner possible,” Superintendent David Axner said. “We make a concerted and strategic effort to maximize efficiencies in all facets of our organization.” Ohio Education Matters is a Cincinnati-based public-policy research group.

of practice and games to figure out what works for the team, how each other play, and because they’ve been working together for over two months now, they’re starting to click,” Law said. “They can anticipate each other’s moves and thoughts more than they did at the beginning, and that’s because they’ve spent a lot of time working together.” •Coffman won two of three after getting off to a 3-5 start. The Shamrocks open the Division I

Dublin Coffman High School baseball coach Tim Saunders believes his team has the potential to win Division I district, regional and state titles. But after the Shamrocks won three OCC-Central Division games May 7 to capture the league championship, Saunders said he wouldn’t take that accomplishment for granted. “This was our first goal of the season and it’s huge to be able to add another championship banner to our school’s wall,” Saunders said. “This is our 12th league championship in my 24 years here. That’s a ratio of winning one league title every two years, so it’s become a part of our tradition and it’s important to us.” Coffman needed to win only one of its three OCC-Central games May 7 to capture the league title. The three victories gave Coffman a 13-1 league record. The Shamrocks opened the day with an 8-5 win over Worthington Kilbourne, as Austin Cousino hit a two-run home run and Ryan Leffel hit a solo homer to help Coffman take a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning. Zak Hood gave up one run in five innings to earn the win. In the afternoon, Coffman played the final 1 1/2 innings of a game that was suspended the previous day because of lightning and beat Upper Arlington 7-3. The Shamrocks scored four runs in the top of the sixth to take a 73 lead, as Hood hit a two-run homer and Austin Cousino had an RBI triple and scored on a wild pitch. James Walsh pitched five innings, giving up three runs, to

Lacrosse

Irish girls team making progress By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers With a large group of underclassmen playing key roles, the Dublin Scioto High School girls lacrosse team opened this season by losing its first 11 games. The Irish finally broke through with a victory April 23 when they won 11-9 at Dublin Jerome, and they followed by tying Bexley at 10 three days later. Coach Lindsay Law hopes her team’s late-season play is providing her players a glimpse of the success they could

have once they gain more experience. “They feel like they can do it,” Law said. “It has been difficult because they work so hard and weren’t seeing results, so it’s been great to have that confidencebooster for them.” A series of injuries early in the season also hindered Scioto’s progress. With freshman Cory Kinder, sophomore Halle Lucas and junior Brie Lee among those leading the way offensively, the Irish had their two biggest offensive games of the season against Jerome and Bexley.

Sophomore midfielder Pamela Solano also has “really stepped up,” according to Law. Last season, Scioto beat Liberty Township Lakota East 16-3 in the play-in round of the Division I South/Central Region tournament before losing to Upper Arlington 17-0 in a first-round game. The Irish will open this year’s regional tournament Wednesday, May 18, at Cincinnati Ursuline Academy in a second-round game. Ursuline Academy won seven of its first 12 games. “During rebuilding years, it takes a lot

Last year, the Shamrocks opened the regional tournament with a 2125, 25-16, 25-14, 25-22 win over Westerville Central before losing to fifth-seeded Gahanna 25-23, 25-20, 20-25, 25-23 in a semifinal. “Our guys took this seriously because they wanted to be the best in Dublin again and they wanted to continue playing well heading into the tournament,” Saelzler said. “If we keep playing the way we played (last week), we’ll be tough to beat.” Coffman opened last week’s action with a 25-27, 25-20, 25-19, 2519 win over Worthington Kilbourne on May 3, avenging a 25-19, 2523, 23-25, 25-17 loss to the Wolves on April 12. According to Saelzler, Meeks, middle hitter Kort Rantala and op-

posite hitter Scott Roth did a good job of blocking and hitting and setter Logan McCamish did a better job of placing the ball in the rematch against Kilbourne. “That was our biggest win of the second half of the season and it’s given us a lot of energy and momentum heading into the tournament,” Saelzler said. “Scott Roth was on fire against Worthington Kilbourne, and they couldn’t stop him. Kort Rantala has been playing well, and Alex Meeks is our emotional leader on the court. Those guys have played a major role in our winning streak.” •With its win over Scioto in the Battle of Dublin, Jerome avenged a pair of losses to the Irish in OCCCardinal Division play.

Players turn focus to tourney

Scioto girls are eager for OCC meet By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

From staff reports Hilliard Darby, Hilliard Davidson, Pickerington Central and Upper Arlington high schools will play host to the Division I boys tennis sectional tournaments Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14. The top four finishers in singles and doubles at the sectional sites advance to the district tournament May 20-21 at Davidson. At the UA site, Dublin Coffman’s Hiromi Nakayama, a twotime state qualifier, is the top seed in singles, followed by UA’s Brandon Griffin (second), Olentangy Orange’s Doug Ganim (third) and UA’s Jeff Melvin (fourth). UA’s Billy Weldon and Stu Little are seeded first in doubles, with Coffman’s Jack Buchan and Leon Cai (second), UA’s Eric Vannatta and Nate Wallace (third) and Orange’s Tanner Greene and Ryan Jay (fourth) rounding out the top four. Losing to New Albany 3-2 in the first round of the OTCA Division I team tournament on April 20 not only ended UA’s string of eight consecutive appearances in the state team tournament, it forced the Golden Bears to put extra emphasis on individual success. “It stings a little bit, but it’s not like our season is ruined,” said Weldon, who won the state doubles championship with Little last season. “We still have the goal of getting as many individuals as we can on to the state tournament.” New Albany dominated the seeds in the Darby sectional, as Sean Yun, Steve Miller and Sam Romanoff are seeded first, second and fourth, respectively, in singles and John Hendrix and Oliver Sybert (first) and Jordan Rabe and Ameen Farwana (third) are two of the top three seeds in doubles. St. Charles’ Dennis Gleason is seeded third in singles, and St. Charles’ Grant Dolven and Weston Niermeyer and Pickerington North’s Sam Prewitt and Dylan Bhaerman are seeded second and fourth, respectively, in doubles. At the Pickerington Central site, Thomas Worthington’s Casey Cempre is the top seed in singles, followed by Westerville Central’s Luke Buchanan (second), Grove City’s Joey Hemphill (third) and Westerville Central’s Blake Burns (fourth). In doubles, Pickerington Central’s Chase Thomas and Dallas Stang are the top seed, with Olentangy Liberty’s Mitchell Lothes and Alexander Hathaway (second), Thomas’ Mark Evans and Harrison Chang (third) and Liberty’s Vick Chhabria and Matt Wong (fourth) rounding out the top four. At the Davidson site, Dublin Jerome’s Kent Seitz and Sean Stein, who placed fourth at state in doubles last year, are the top seed in doubles, followed by Gahanna’s Stephen Cheng and Canyon Teague (second), Worthington Kilbourne’s Sam Lazaroff and Roger Juang (third) and Davidson’s Zach Page and Greg

The tournament was scheduled to be completed May 10. Jerome appeared to be on its way to winning a second consecutive OCC-Cardinal title after going 7-0 in league dual matches without losing a court and reaching the tournament finals at first singles, second singles, third singles and first doubles.

der Hathaway (second singles) and Vick Chhabria (third singles) also went 2-0 to reach finals. Also for the Patriots, Shashank Sirivolu and Kyle Flahive won their opener at second doubles, and Matt Wong and Kevin Pang went 1-1 at first doubles. •OCC-CENTRAL — Upper Arlington won four courts in the league tournament on May 7 at Hilliard Davidson en route to winning its 29th consecutive league title. The Golden Bears had 76 points when the OCC-Central tournament was halted because of bad weather, followed by Thomas Worthington (55), Dublin Coffman (48), Worthington Kilbourne (40), Davidson (37), Hilliard Darby (27), Westland (10) and Central Crossing (1). Two matches at first doubles — the championship match between UA’s Lucas Rooney and Ben Minton and Coffman’s Bobby Lowe and Sam Dinnin and the third-place match between Davidson’s Michael Porter and Pat Holland and Thomas’ Paul Bohorquez and Matt Sisco — were suspended and were scheduled to be completed May 10. Kilbourne, Darby, Westland and Central Crossing all completed competition on May 7. “(Winning the league title) means a lot to us,” said UA’s Wallace, who teamed with Vannatta to defeat Thomas’Joey Wortman and David Edison 6-2, 6-1 in the final at first doubles. “We have a really great tradition here at UA. We try to go out and win this every year.” UA swept the three singles courts. At first singles, Weldon was leading Nakayama 6-2 in the final when Nakayama defaulted because of an injury. Little defeated Cai 6-0, 6-1 in the second singles final and Brandon Griffin defeated Buchan 6-3, 6-4 in the third singles final. UA went 7-0 in regular-season dual matches. Thomas was second at 6-1, followed by Coffman (5-2), Davidson (4-3), Kilbourne (3-4), Darby (2-5), Westland (1-6) and Central Crossing (0-7).

took a 6-1 lead over Olentangy Liberty’s Mitchell Lothes. Also going 2-0 for Jerome were Kent Seitz at second singles, Frank Kuo at third singles, and Alex Hessler and Jarden Judson at first doubles. The Celtics’ second doubles team of Sunny Feng and Cameron Sheley opened with a victory and were trailing Dublin Scioto’s Craig Zeid and Hement Reddy 6-5 before their semifinal was suspended. “This was a positive day for us and I feel good about where we’re at right now,” Jerome coach Aaron Bauer said. “We haven’t lost a match in the OCC up to this point, and finishing this tournament undefeated is our goal.” Liberty, which was 5-1 in league dual matches before playing South on May 9, put itself in position to finish second in the league for a second consecutive season. Lothes opened with a 10-0 win over Olentangy’s Chris Miller before defeating Scioto’s Sean Ferguson 10-3 in a semifinal. Alexan- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Dublin Scioto High School girls track and field team will look to defend its OCC-Cardinal Division championship in the league meet on Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14, at Pickerington North. Last season, the Irish scored 158 points to finish well ahead of second-place Westerville Central (118.5). Coaches around the league have said Scioto again is the team to beat. “They definitely know they are the favorites,” Scioto girls coach Matt Suttle said of his team. “That’s definitely one of our goals going in there is to win that. I think the girls are looking forward to competing and seeing what we can do.” The Irish are coming off a strong showing in the Larkin/Crosten Invitational on May 6 at Upper Arlington, finishing first (129) ahead of Dublin Coffman (124.5). “The entire team is starting to come together a little bit,” said Suttle, who is in his third season at Scioto. “We still haven’t put everybody in their events yet at one meet. We probably won’t do that at conference, but by the district meet I think we’ll be ready to go.” Junior Rachel Christian, who represented Scioto at the Division I state meet last season, has the potential to sweep the sprint events at the league meet, Suttle said. Last year at state, she finished seventh in the 100 meters (12.31 seconds) and 14th in the 200 (26.2). Suttle also expects the relays to contend for titles, and he’s hoping for strong performances from Jessica Cronau in the 3,200 and Camaria Cannon in the sprints. Cannon finished first in the 100 (12.73) and 200 (24.10) at UA. Suttle added that twin sisters Minori Minagawa and Sakiko Minagawa should compete in the 800 and 1,600 in the league meet. The boys team is coming off a fifth-place finish (50) at UA. Winners for Scioto included Michael Hawkins in the 100 (11.24) and Luis Carbajal in the 3,200 (9:36.27). Scioto is looking to improve on last season’s seventh-place finish (41) in the league meet, which was won by Olentangy Liberty (142). “We have made huge strides in the last two weeks,” coach Kevin Foley said. “We are a freshman-, sophomore-dominated team. There are some guys who have made incredible improvements.” •Coffman girls coach Greg King expects a two-team battle between his squad and host Hilliard Davidson in the OCCCentral meet Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14. Last season, Coffman finished fifth (99.5) in the league meet, behind first-place Davidson (136.5), but King expects the Shamrocks will improve on that performance.

“We have a lot of experienced athletes coming back and some really good solid freshmen, plus one really good sophomore, firstyear runner (in McKenzie Bailey),” King said. The Shamrocks are coming off a second-place finish at UA. Winners included Sara Johnson in the 100 hurdles (15.44) and Rachel Weber in the 800 (2:18.47). King added that freshman Beatrice Hannan should contend in the sprints. “Realistically, it’s not going to come down to our star athletes on either side,” King said. “It’s going to come down to No. 2 and 3 athletes, and whose No. 2s twos and 3s will grab more points.” The boys team finished second (102.5) at UA behind Pickerington North (107). Last season at the OCC-Central meet, the Shamrocks were second (133) behind Davidson (136). “We’re looking forward to competing against teams in our division,” boys coach Jim Ferguson said. “Davidson is a pretSee TRACK, page C5

LACROSSE Continued from page C1 South/Central Region tournament Wednesday, May 18, at home against Cincinnati St. Ursula Academy. St. Ursula was 6-5 before playing Mason on May 10. Last season, Coffman lost to Ursuline Academy 13-8 in the first round of the regional tournament. “We’ve been slow to start lately, especially in the first five minutes of the game, and found ourselves in a hole early in several games,” coach Mike Murphy said. “We seem to give up some easy goals at the beginning due to (a lack of) communication and not being as focused as we need to be.” Senior goalkeeper Lauren Stephens has been a standout all season, according to Murphy. Senior Devan Krider, juniors Hannah Abbruzzese, Claire Grace and Molly Herzfeld and sophomore Brianna Turner are among the others who have impressed Murphy. Junior Rachel Ulstad and sophomores Sara Cassidy and Lexi Minnick, according to Murphy, have helped the Shamrocks gain the edge in draw controls in recent games. “Devan Krider has stepped it up on the field, showing senior leadership, and it has rubbed off in practice by raising the level of our intensity,” Murphy said. “Our offensive players are getting used to the new sets. Brianna Turner continues to add different elements to her game to be a threat on offense, in addition to setting up her teammates. “Her and Claire Grace have learned to complement each other in their games to give us a nice one-two threat on offense.” •Jerome won its next four after falling to Scioto, a span in which it averaged more than 14 goals. The Celtics’ defense also took a step forward, shutting down Westerville Central 17-3 on April 25 and giving up an average of 8.7 goals in those four victories.

Continued from page C1 31-29 on March 31. After losing its first nine matches, Jerome concluded the regular season by winning three of its last six matches. “Going into our (Division II) tournament draw, we’re playing well, even though we don’t have a good record,” said coach Katherine Fogg, whose squad lost to topseeded St. Charles 25-16, 25-12, 25-17 in a Division II regional semifinal last season. “Even in the matches that we lost (last week), we were more competitive against those teams the second time we played them.” Jerome lost to Olentangy Liberty 25-17, 25-19, 20-25, 25-18 on May 3 after losing to Patriots 25-13, 25-16, 25-17 on April 2 and lost to Westerville North 2516, 25-20, 19-25, 25-18 on May 5 after losing to the Warriors 2519, 25-12, 25-13 on April 13. Jerome beat Westerville South 25-3, 25-17, 25-11 on April 28 after losing to the Wildcats 16-25, 18-25, 25-15, 25-18, 15-8 on April 5. “Beating Scioto and Westerville South were good (wins), because those teams beat us earlier in the season,” Fogg said. “We’re showing a lot of improvement. We just need to do a better job of finishing games, because we’re taking large leads and then sitting back and letting teams back in matches.” Fogg said outside hitter Chris Frey made a difference in the wins over Scioto and South and that middle hitters Alex Cathis and James Warvel have made an impact with their blocking. •Scioto went 0-4 last week after sophomore setter/outside hitter Josh Ashwill broke a wrist while playing basketball on May 1. Ashwill, who was honorable mention all-OCC-Cardinal a year ago, was leading the Irish in kills, assists and aces before the injury. According to coach Doug Arden, Chris Vogel has become the team’s primary setter, Mason Matheny has moved from the libero position to become both a setter and outside hitter, and middle hitter/opposite hitter Grant Anderson and middle hitters Colin Pierce and Noah Schuster are being counted on to play a larger role in the offense as well as defensively at the net.

of 19 games, beginning with a 15-0 win over Central Crossing on April 5 through their 6-2 victory over UA. “Our pitching and defense have been consistent and our pitching has kept us in games,” Saunders said. “But the difference between how we played when we were 13 to how we’re playing now is we’re getting timely hitting and driving in runners with two outs. In the tournament, you can’t leave eight, 10 or 12 guys stranded on base. You have to be aggressive and drive those guys in to win.”

earn the win. Coffman then beat Upper Arlington 6-2 behind Adam Hall’s two-hitter. “It feels good to win the OCC,” Hall said. “Winning our league championship is always important to us, but we’re business-like after these games because this is only one of our goals. We’ve got to play well every game now that it is tournament time because when you lose you go home and your season is done.” The second-seeded Shamrocks ablankenship@thisweeknews.com were scheduled to open the Di- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com vision I district tournament on May 11 against Columbus West or Westland. The winner plays sixth-seeded Hilliard Davidson, Dublin Jerome or Briggs in a district semifinal on Tuesday, May 17, at Grove City. The winner of the semifinal will play in a district final on May 19 at Jerome. Coffman swept Davidson this season, winning 6-5 on April 26 and 9-3 on April 27. The Shamrocks also defeated Jerome 5-2 on April 28, after losing to the Celtics 1-0 in a district semifinal a year ago. “We’ve beaten the teams we could see in the district semifinals already, but they’re both big rivals of ours and rivalry games are always tough, so you throw what’s happened in the past out the window,” Saunders said. “Davidson and Jerome both are good teams when they’re playing well, so we’ve got to be ready to play our best game.” Saunders said he would feel confident putting any of his top three pitchers - Hall, Hood and Walsh - on the mound against any opponent in the district tournament. Through 23 games, Hood was 6-0 and Hall and Walsh each were 6-1. According to Saunders, the key for the Shamrocks in the tournament will be continuing to hit the way they did while winning 17

Rebecca Rings won the 1,600 (5:23.44). “I’m very happy,” coach Randi Beatty said. “The girls did a really nice job. They scored a lot of points, and it’s a reflection of how hard they have been working over the season. They continue to improve each week.” Last season, Jerome finished eighth (41) in the league meet, but Beatty said she expects an improvement.

DiBella’s: Our sandwich 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, subway-tiled 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 perceived by the guest as a true value, they’ll fit in and generate their own kind of market excitement,” he said. DiBella’s is open lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (614) 717-1111.

Financial finesse

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 empowered by contributing to the account. Add a bit of reality to financial conversations. If your teen is anxious to 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 ERIC to give your children a basic understanding about the acCLARKE cess 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. Fifth Third Bank will be hosting “College Prep 101 Open Houses” on May 18, 20 and 21 at area banking centers. Please contact Eric Clarke, Membership Banking Specialist for Fifth Third Bank, to RSVP at 614-744-5357 or Eric.Clarke@53.com.

Awnings allow homeowners more time for outdoor entertaining If you enjoy spending time on your deck or patio but feel like the blazing sun limits the time you spend outside, it might be time to take back your outdoor entertaining area with a retractable awning.

repellent and specifically designed to endure the elements. Acrylic also disperses, absorbs and reflects dangerous ultraviolet rays from the sun. The awnings can be operated manually or by a motor and can adjust to different angles.

“Many people typically use their backyard patios only during the early evening hours, when the sun is setting,” explained Matt Reeder of Weather Armor. “If you made a substantial investment in a deck or patio, it doesn’t make sense to be able to use it only a small percentage of the time.”

Rolltec awnings are available in a variety of designs and colors to match your home’s exterior. You can accessorize your awning with a variety of options, including a remote control, sun and wind sensors, and a protective hood to keep the rolled awning shielded from the elements. A manual override is available in case of power outages.

Weather Armor offers Rolltec brand awnings, a customizable solution to getting more use out of your patio or deck area. An awning can improve both the appearance and functionality of your home, and Rolltec awnings are custom-made to fit your specifications. They project farther from the home than any other awning on the market, and there are no permanent posts to interfere with your living space.

Weather Armor currently is offering $300 off an installed Rolltec awning when you mention this article. Call (614) 795-4800 to schedule a free estimate and take advantage of this summer special.

Many awnings on the market are made of vinyl, which might end up rotting after being exposed to the elements. Weather Armor’s Rolltec awnings are made of acrylic, which is water-

As a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List, Weather Armor has been helping central Ohio homeowners improve the value of their homes for more than 10 years. In addition to awnings, the company offers a complete line of Gutterglove products. Visit www.rolltecawnings.com for more information on its awnings.

The Rolltec retractable awning extends farther from your home than other awnings on the market to allow for more space for entertaining in the shade.

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.

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&#x20AC;&#x201D;there were more than 50,000 participants in 2010â&#x20AC;&#x201D;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&#x20AC;&#x201D;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&#x20AC;&#x2122;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&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little Detours, an inspirational collection of essays, and she hosts a weekly call-in radio show on Northeast Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NPR affiliate station. At the Columbus survivor ceremony, Brett will celebrate breast cancer survivorship surrounded by fellow survivors and those closest to themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;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&#x20AC;&#x201D;from those undergoing treatment to those who have been cancer-free for decadesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and assemble on the steps of the Statehouse to be recognized. The celebration wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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&#x20AC;&#x201D;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&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Komen affiliates recognize the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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&#x20AC;&#x153;We realize that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrealistic to expect the BCCP to receive more funding during these tough economic times,â&#x20AC;? Komen Columbus Executive Director Katie Carter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When 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&#x20AC;? 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.

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

are all there for the same purpose, to join in the fight. There are times when you will laugh and in the next instant, cry. I tell my students right at the beginning, ‘You all know I’m going to cry!’ They al-

ways laugh because they know! I tell them, ‘Be prepared to cry also. You are going to have fun, but you are also going to realize that you are a part of something bigger than you could imagine.’”

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
