School board workshop

Ryan: Revenue projections ‘sobering’ By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The New Albany-Plain Local school board reviewed potential cuts in revenue during its May 9 workshop, only to find out that the district will not make it through 2013 without making budget cuts in some area. “I think the administration needs to

set parameters and show us our options,” board member Natalie Matt said. Matt said it makes sense to begin talking about how much is expected to be lost when determining how much needs to be cut. The board learned that the district could see revenue cuts of up to $8.89 million total in fiscal years 2012 and 2013. In fiscal year 2012, the district is anticipated

to lose $486,000 in federal stimulus funding, $553,000 in tangible personal-property taxes (which are being phased out by the state), $943,000 in state basic aid and an estimated $1.9 million in property-tax values due to the current reappraisal cycle, said superintendent April Domine. Similar cuts in fiscal year 2013 bring the total loss in the two-year period to more than $8 million.

“It’s sobering,” said board president Mark Ryan. “That’s an 8- to 10-percent decline, considering a $50-million budget.” Domine said the district would continue to pursue ways to operate more efficiently with less money. She mentioned, for example, the district’s pursuit of lower electricity costs through work with a local consortium and elim-

inating the five permanent substitute positions in the district. Eliminating the permanent substitutes would save $100,000 annually and will require the district to call in substitutes as needed, instead of having them on the payroll. Domine already has lowered the number of projected new teachers to be hired See SCHOOL BOARD, page A6

Concerns BATTLE FOR CONTROL arise over potential zoning change

ARB OKs new church plans and two sign applications

By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

New Albany City Council is concerned about a potential zoning change that could increase activity on a property at the northeast corner of Reynoldsburg-New Albany and Morse roads. “If there is a veterinary clinic on the property, that could be a significant item,” Mayor Nancy Ferguson told council during the May 3 meeting. Council referred the zoning change to the city’s planning commission, which will hear it May 16. The meeting will have a special start time at 6 p.m. in New Albany Village Hall. The request would create a single zoning designation of limited agricultural use for 12.275 acres, which covers two properties and currently has two zoning designations of limited agricultural use. The site has a residence and a horse barn with an apartment above it. Kathryn Meyer, deputy director of community development, said the zoning change would limit the residential use to one build-

The New Albany Presbyterian Church has modified its plans to construct a church building at the southeast corner of Johnstown and Harlem roads. During the New Albany Architectural Review Board (ARB) meeting May 9, church officials requested a certificate of appropriateness for a plan to build a 12,500-square-foot brick and wood-sided church building, which is smaller than what originally was planned. “The church has revised the architecture and is making the building smaller to save some money,” said city planner Michelle Murphy. “Finances were a concern.” The ARB approved the application with conditions, including that the city staff approve the landscape plan, site signage and design and color of brick and that the mechanical buildings and utilities on exterior walls be painted to match the building. Murphy said the New Albany Planning Commission would review further changes during its next meeting May 16. In March, the ARB approved the group’s plan to build a 16,000-square-foot church building at the same site. Though the architectural details and building materials have not changed, the building will be smaller. The group also is requesting approval for only 123 parking spaces, as opposed to the 147 requested in March. The building will face Johnstown Road and will have an entrance and sidewalk leading to that door. Parking will be off the Harlem Road entrance. The 11.7-acre lot includes room for future expansions as the church grows, church officials said.

DEA makes pot bust near New Albany The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seized 100 marijuana plants May 10 from a Columbus home on Greensbury Drive, near New Albany. “I can confirm that we executed a state search warrant and seized 100 high-quality marijuana plants,” said Rich Isaacson, a DEA special agent and public-information officer. Isaacson said the term, “high quality,” usually refers to plants that produce a product that can sell for as high as $2,000 a pound. Isaacson said the home was being rented and the plants were being grown inside, in what he called “a shambles.” The subdivision where the home is loSee POT BUST, page A7

Science, drama students team up for ‘robot theater’ By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Theater and robotics science don’t often go together. The two disciplines will be combined, however, during the New Albany High School “robot theater” production slated for May 18 and 19. “The robots will be actors along with human actors,” said sophomore Jake Whitted. Whitted and several other students in the New Albany High School robotics course currently are working with two robots and programming their motions to perform in four skits written by drama students.

Whitted said the robotics students will use controllers to operate the robots during the performances. “We will stand off stage with the controllers,” explained freshman David Wu. The robotics students have faced several challenges in getting the robots to perform. Whitted said the robots have to be programmed because they are not aware of how one action affects another. “We have to be careful when programming because the robot doesn’t know where its body parts are and we have to be careful of cords,” Whitted said. Cords can trip a walking robot or cause it to fall

over if it gets caught on the robot’s arm or leg, he said. The robot also performs differently on various surfaces. Sophomore Lauryn Woodyard said the robots perform differently on desks than they do on the floor. “We have to practice on different surfaces,” she said. Woodyard said students were taking the robots to practice in to the high school’s minitheater, where performances will be held. The drama students have been working with adSee ROBOT THEATER, page A2

ZONING CHANGE Continued from page A1 ing, allowing only temporary occupancy in the apartment above the horse barn. She said the property was owned by Bobby Rahal and he had asked for the horse barn to be built. The barn has six stalls and is accessed off Morse Road. That would not change with the new zoning designation but the application requests a conditional use of a veterinary clinic on site. “Outside horses (not being boarded in the stalls) can attend the clinic but there would be a limit on the number of horses that could attend,” Meyer said. The zoning change was requested by the Wiles law firm on behalf of the current property owner, One New Albany Farms LLC Bella Vista. According to the Franklin County auditor’s office, the property was sold in January 2011. Rahal still owns property north of the area. City planner Michelle Murphy said the zoning text, as proposed, allows six horses to be boarded and no more than 10 horses on the property at any one time. That

means if three horses were being boarded, for example, only seven could attend the clinic. Murphy said the veterinary clinic would be a satellite office for an existing veterinarian, not the main location of a practice. When asked why the zoning is being requested, Meyer said the properties are within two different zoning districts and the “existing zoning is poorly written.” According to the legislation report to council, “several cleanup issues with the current zoning and site will be addressed by the proposed rezoning .The site consists of several properties in the city and unincorporated township. The parcels within the city will be combined into one lot.” Ferguson said neighbors initially had concerns when the Rahal family requested the barn be built. With a veterinary clinic on site, she said, traffic coming off Morse Road could increase. There are two properties to the north in the New Albany Farms subdivision, six residences to the south, on the south side of Morse Road, and several homes west of Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road.

Council member Chris Wolfe asked how neighbors are being notified. He said there have been issues with notifications in that area in the past. Meyer said property owners within 200 feet of the property are being notified. However, Ferguson questioned if the entire New Albany Farms subdivision should be notified. In that particular subdivision, homes sit on 4- to 5-acre lots, so notification of many homeowners would not be required. Council member Colleen Briscoe suggested consulting with attorney Mitch Banchefsky before increasing notification for one zoning change, saying it could affect future notification. Council member Sloan Spaulding suggested notifying the subdivision’s homeowners association (HOA) instead of sending out individual letters. “We need to be careful with legal notices so we are consistent with our legal notices,” Briscoe said. “I have no problem with contacting the HOA.” lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

ROBOT THEATER Continued from page A1 viser Elliott Lemberg on the skits that will be performed with the robots. Lemberg, the high school’s drama director, said his actor’s studio class, an advanced class with seven students, wrote skits for the actors and robots. The class edited all seven and voted on the best four. The students will

direct the performances, as well. Lemberg said the drama students had to choreograph the robots’ movements throughout the skits because robots cannot improvise and add movements that seem appropriate to a scene. He said that was the biggest challenge the drama students faced when writing the skits. David Herman, the robotics course instructor, said more than

400 middle school and high school students are expected to attend the three daily sessions of the robot theater production. Last year’s production had one robot, but this year’s has two, he said. The robotics class chronicled its process of fine-tuning the robots on YouTube. Search for “NAHSrobots.” lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Commentary & opinion

International business community will see Columbus as opportunity panies doing business in the United States but without current facilities or people on the KENNY ground. MCDONALD 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€™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!

Columbus 2020!

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.

McNutt said heâ€™s looking forward to the summer camp.

McNutt said he will work with some college professors at the camp, which should give him an idea of what to expect when studying music in college. â€œRight now, Iâ€™m thinking I want to be performance-based,â€? he said. â€œReally, what I like to do is play.

SCHOOL BOARD Continued from page A1 for the 2011-12 school year to six or seven. But that may not change the salary line enough, according to members of the district’s financial review and reporting committee (FRRC), who attended the May 9 meeting. FRRC member Parag Patel reminded the board that salaries make up 80 percent of the district’s budget. He said the only way to reduce a large amount of spending is to look at salary increases. “After 2012 (when current union contracts expire), it may be time to rethink what you’ve always done,” he said. Patel said he understands that salary cuts affect people personally. But he said the reality is salaries are where the district spends most of its money. Board member Cheri Lehmann asked about step increases for teachers, which increase their pay each year for educational achievements and tenure. She said the district budgets an increase of 2.89 percent annually for step increases. “I think that’s something to look at,” she said, regarding future contract negotiations with the teachers union. District treasurer Brian Ramsay showed the board the district’s five-year financial forecast, which will be reviewed Monday, May 16, by the FRRC and Monday,

May 23, by the school board. The board is expected to vote on the five-year financial forecast at the May 23 meeting. State law requires that districts approve their forecasts by the end of May. The forecast shows, with projected revenue losses, the district will have to use all of its carryover in the next few years to balance the budget and end fiscal year 2013 with a negative balance of $1,773,519. Ryan asked the FRRC to consider a new target amount for the district to save over the next year. At the FRRC’s urging, the district’s administrators saved $608,000 out of the budget this fiscal year. FRRC member Dave Maul said the committee cannot work miracles. The board must vote on the five-year forecast in two weeks and Maul said the committee is not going to be able to find millions of dollars in savings without going through the budget line by line and finding places where money could be saved. The district already has absorbed some costs, including those usually paid through a permanent improvements levy, Domine said.

Ramsay said the district’s permanent improvements levy expired in 2009. The district is paying for textbooks, technology upgrades and busing with money collected through that levy. But those costs will begin coming out of the general fund in fiscal year 2013 when the money runs out. Those expenditures average $895,000 annually. Board vice president Laura Kohler asked what millage rate the district would need to stay out of the red and Ramsay said it would be a high number. Kohler said by asking that question, she forced the board to think about potential cuts. “We’d need to look at all the line items and determine whether each is an expense or an investment to make sure we’re not affecting programming and keep the high educational value that we provide to our students,” Ramsay said. Ryan said the district promised voters it could get through 2013 without any levy requests and he’d like recommendations from the FRRC and from the administration on potential savings to achieve that goal.

According to the church’s website, the land cost $700,000 and the building is anticipated to cost $3.2 million. The capital campaign had raised $1.07 million at the last date reported, which was in October 2010. The church currently meets in a local school building.

In other business, the ARB approved two sign applications. PSee Solutions, which is located in the New Albany Exchange building on U.S. Route 62, just south of state Route 161, requested permission to install a sign on the front of the building. The computer-solutions company received approval for a sign that looks like wood, is rectangular and uses the same taupe background as the RJR Consulting sign already on the building. PSee Solutions will use

blue and orange for the lettering on its sign. Noble Baron, a new barbershop at 21 N. High St., also was given approval for a sign. The barbershop will use an existing hanging sign and alter it slightly to include its name. The ARB’s approval included the following conditions: The sign must fit within the 6square-foot area, it must have a matte finish, the text must be centered and the ARB must approve how the sign is attached.

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.

Eagles hope late rally sets tone By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The New Albany High School softball team hopes its five-run outburst in the bottom of the seventh inning that led to an 8-7 win over Watkins Memorial on May 5 will produce a lasting result. The victory came as the Eagles were preparing for the Division I district tournament opener May 10 at Pickerington North. But just as important in coach Patrick Finn’s eyes is what it could do down the road. With several seniors helping to lead the way to the late-inning victory, he believes the rally also provided a learning

tool for the underclassmen playing key roles and for those who were watching from the bench. “It was something these girls needed to see that they could do,” Finn said. “And it’s big for our underclassmen.” “I think it’s definitely good going into the tournament,” senior infielder Jenna Greenberg said. “That last inning was a beautiful inning.” New Albany, which also beat Watkins Memorial 18-11 on April 6 on the road, entered the postseason hoping to play a similar role as last year. Last season while competing in Division I for the first time, the Eagles upset Westerville Central 2-1 in the first round of the district tournament. Central fin-

ished one game out of first in the OCCCardinal Division a year ago. New Albany then lost to Olentangy Liberty 3-2 in eight innings to finish with a 13-12 overall record. Despite a large senior class led by catcher Tiffany Goodrich and infielders Sarah Litterst and Greenberg, wins have been tougher to come by this season. Since moving Lindsey Medich back to the leadoff spot, where she spent most of last season, during the third week of April, Finn believes the team has benefited. In the most recent game against Watkins Memorial, Medich was followed in the lineup by Litterst, Goodrich, Krystal Clark and Greenberg. Greenberg reached base to start the

seventh-inning rally and Litterst scored the winning run. “I think (the win May 5) was good going into the tournament,” Litterst said. “It helps us to be pumped up. I think (the lineup) works well with Lindsey leading off.” If New Albany won its tournament opener, it will play Watterson on Thursday, May 12, at Ridgeview Middle School in the second round. The winner of that game likely will face third-seeded Groveport in a district semifinal on Tuesday, May 17, at Pickerington North. While Watterson fell to 8-12 with a See SOFTBALL, page B2

Baseball

New Albany clinches share of OCC title By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The New Albany High School baseball team needed a winning hit by Nick Stahlman in the eighth inning to beat visiting Mount Vernon 8-7 on May 6, avenging a 3-2 loss to the Yellow Jackets two days earlier. Close games typified the OCC-Capital Division schedule this season, making the championship that the Eagles gained at least a part of all the more satisfying. New Albany held a one-game advantage in the loss column over Olentangy Orange in the OCC-Capital heading into May 10 and has a makeup game still remaining against Delaware. According to coach Bob Talpas, the Eagles still were determining whether they’d play host to the Pacers on May 10, Thursday, May 12, or Friday, May 13. “Coming into the season, we knew it was going to be a very competitive league,” said Talpas,

whose team won its third league title in five seasons but finished behind Mount Vernon the past two years. “We knew that every team except for Franklin Heights would be very competitive. I’m happy to win it because it was a very competitive league with a lot of close ballgames throughout the season.” The Eagles bounced back from the loss to the Yellow Jackets to beat Franklin Heights 160 in five innings on May 5. Senior Ray VanBoven earned the victory over the Falcons behind an offense that scored 34 runs over its next 22 innings after being held to two runs in the loss to Mount Vernon. The offensive outburst had the Eagles feeling confident as they entered the Division I district tournament May 11 against Dublin Scioto. The Eagles were seeded third for the postseason after winning a district title a year ago.

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. 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 Tiffan (fourth). In singles, Gahanna’s Jesse Shivener is the top seed, with Dublin Scioto’s Sean Ferguson (second), Jerome’s Frank Kuo See TENNIS, page B2

Academy Roundup

MSL title narrowly eludes boys tennis team By FRANK DiRENNA

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Before the season began, Columbus Academy boys tennis coach Jeff Warstler expected a tight battle in the MSL-Ohio/Cardinal Division between his team and Bexley, although he called the Lions the team to beat. Warstler’s prediction came to fruition on May 7 at Academy, as Bexley won three of five courts in the league tournament to finish with 47 points. The Vikings placed second with 43 points, followed by Granville (29), Fisher Catholic (17), Grandview (15), Whitehall (8) and West Jefferson (2). Bexley went 6-0 in MSL-Ohio/Cardinal duals, with Academy finishing 5-1. The Vikings lost to Bexley 3-2 in a match that began April 26 but was completed May 4. Academy swept the doubles titles in the league meet, as Langston Hughes and Chris Perrini defeated Bexley’s David Seckel and Max Schottenstein 10-5 in the final at first doubles and Dan Leathery and Abram Schottenstein beat Bexley’s Christian Liefeld and Matt O’Hern 10-4 in the final at second doubles. Bexley swept the league titles in singles. “I thought it was a good day for us,” Warstler said. “I thought our young ones did well at one, two and three (singles). Doubles did what they’re supposed to do. At that stage, that’s business performance. You have to do what you need to do to get that win and I thought those doubles teams did. “That should set us up nice for sectionals.” Academy plays host to the 11-team Division II sectional tournament on

Clark (.491), Zach Ratcliff (.362) and Joey Vara (.327). Sergakis also was leading the team in home runs with three, and Vara was leading the team in RBI with 20. On the mound, Stephen Casey was 3-1 with a 4.45 ERA, 13 strikeouts and 20 walks. •The girls lacrosse team is seeded second in the Division II South/Central Region tournament behind Cincinnati Mariemont and will play host to DeSales or Hilliard Bradley in the second round on May 19. The Vikings defeated DeSales 14-4 on May 5 behind six goals from Allie Roehrenbeck. Courtney Denna scored five goals and goalkeeper Sarah Wilson had nine saves. Academy has not played Bradley this season. “The world is ours,” coach Anne Horton said. “If we can take care of our play and play with a little more consistency at times, (the girls) have the ability to go as far as they can go. We need to continue to stay healthy and keep the focus where it needs to be, because you always worry with exams looming, graduation and just other factors going on. There can always be an unhealthy tug at the kids and you hope that we can just keep our focus grounded, and we’ll just see what plays out for us.” Academy was 8-1-1 before playing Columbus School for Girls on May 10. Last season, the Vikings reached a state semifinal, where they lost to Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown 19-13 to finish 14-4. Hathaway Brown went on to win the state title, defeating Chagrin Falls 14-5 in the final.

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Academy baseball, girls lacrosse, boys tennis and track & field teams: BASEBALL *May 4 — Lost to Newark Catholic 3-2 *May 5 — Lost to Granville 4-2 May 9 — Lost to Hilliard Bradley 10-2 May 12 — Home vs. Berne Union or Caledonia River Valley in second round of Division III district tournament.

Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14. The top four finishers in singles and doubles advance to the district tournament, which will be held May 2021 at home. “I would like to think that both doubles teams get through to districts,” Warstler said. “I’d like to think that maybe one of the singles guys gets through. I don’t know if we get two through.” •The baseball team entered the Division III district tournament looking to bounce back from a pair of close losses in the MSL-Ohio. The Vikings are seeded seventh in the district and had a first-round bye. They will play host to Berne Union or Caledonia River Valley in the second round on Thursday, May 12. The second-round winner plays second-seeded Fredericktown, Grandview

or Worthington Christian in a district semifinal Monday, May 16, at Delaware. The district final is Wednesday, May 18, at Dublin Coffman, with potential opponents including thirdseeded Bloom-Carroll and sixth-seeded Utica. Academy lost to Newark Catholic 3-2 on May 4 and Granville 4-2 on May 5 in league games. “We lost a couple tough games (against) Newark Catholic and Granville,” coach Jim Collis said. “We felt that we gave games away. That was disappointing from a coach’s perspective, but it’s baseball and those things happen.” The Vikings defeated Berne Union 9-1 on April 5 but have not played River Valley. “Berne Union is always tough,” Collis said. “They’re a smaller school, but

they compete. We beat them during the regular season. ... I know they have a pretty good No. 1 (pitcher Brock Shull) in the coach’s (Kelly Shull) son, so we’ll see what happens.” Academy entered the week 8-5 in the MSL-Ohio with one league game to complete, as its game with Bexley on May 2 was suspended with the score tied at 8 in the seventh inning. Newark Catholic, the top seed in the Division IV district tournament, finished first in the MSL-Ohio at 12-2, and Heath was second at 10-4. Entering the week, Academy and Granville are tied for third at 8-5, followed by Bexley (7-6), Lakewood (4-10), Whitehall (3-10) and Licking Valley (2-12). Through 16 games, Nick Sergakis was the Vikings’ top hitter with a .552 fdirenna@thisweeknews.com batting average, followed by Kennedy www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

(third) and Kilbourne’s Brian Aguirre (fourth) rounding out the top four. •OCC-CAPITAL — New Albany won all five courts on its way to a fifth consecutive league tournament title. The Eagles finished the tournament on May 7 at Hilliard Bradley with 76 points, placing ahead of Olentangy Orange (52), Big Walnut (39), Delaware (31), Bradley (19), Watkins Memorial (18), Franklin Heights (7) and Mount Vernon (6). “It’s really exciting for New Albany,” said Yun, who defeated Orange’s Doug Ganim 6-0, 6-4 to win the title at first singles. New Albany lost only one court in OCC-Capital play. That occurred April 29 when Orange’s Tanner Greene and Ryan Jay defeated Romanoff and Farwana 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 at first doubles. In the league tournament, Rabe and Jacob Teich defeated Greene and Jay 6-0, 6-3 in the final at first doubles and New Albany’s Julian Judge and Rathnakishore Giri defeated Orange’s Matt Pennington and Tim Hawk 6-1, 6-4 in the second doubles final. Miller beat Delaware’s Justin Rike 6-0, 6-1 in the second singles final and Romanoff defeated Delaware’s Nick Tanuredjo 60, 6-0 in the final at third singles. The Eagles have dominated the OCC-Capital since joining in 2007. New Albany is 30-0 in regular-season dual matches and has won the league tournament each season. The Eagles have parlayed that into successful postseasons, including a Division II state title in

Rowing

New Albany’s Poll to compete at Ohio State By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

There are 12 seniors among the 62 athletes listed on the Ohio State University women’s rowing team’s roster this spring. The fact that four of those seniors are coxswains who compete on key boats didn’t go unnoticed over the past few months to the nation’s 11th-ranked team as it prepares to compete in the Big Ten Championships on Sunday, May 15, in Indianapolis. During the third week of April, the Buckeyes filled two of those holes when Amanda Poll and Alex Sawatzki of the Westerville high school club crew team

signed letters of intent to compete as coxswains for Ohio State next year. Poll is a senior at New Albany who signed April 18 and Sawatzki is a senior at Westerville North who signed April 19. “(Ohio State coach Andy Teitelbaum) is graduating quite a few coxswains,” Westerville girls rowing coach Trish Chase said. “In college, Amanda and Alex will probably be the coxswain of their first varsity 8, j.v. 8 or novice 8 next year.” Sawatzki has been competing in rowing since she was in eighth grade and is the coxswain of Westerville’s lightweight 8 boat. She began competing in the sport as a rower before switching to coxswain.

Sawatzki chose Ohio State over Louisville. “I used to be (in the) stroke (seat as a rower), so that gives me a real advantage in being a coxswain,” said Sawatzki, who is planning to major in communications or hospice nursing. “Our (lightweight 8) boat as a whole has been very successful. The Ohio State head coach came to our (indoor rowing practice) over the winter and I told him then that I was interested in going there. It came down to Ohio State and Louisville and it was a really tough decision, but I have a chance to be a part of a great team, which is a real honor.” “(Sawatzki’s) a very positive thinker,” Chase said. “She’s very motivated and has a great voice as a coxswain. At 115

pounds, she realized that if she wanted to compete in college she’d have to do it as a coxswain or not row.” Poll formerly competed in swimming before giving it up after eight years to pursue rowing during her junior year. She quickly settled in as Westerville’s heavyweight 8 coxswain and eventually chose Ohio State over Duke, Indiana and Virginia. “I was a really hard-core swimmer for eight years and decided that I hated it,” said Poll, who is considering majoring in animal behavior with the hope of working with dolphins. “After I came out for crew, I decided that my 5-foot3, 105-pound body wasn’t cut out for rowing, so I ended up being the first var-

sity coxswain. I got really, really lucky. “I’m so determined and won’t take no for an answer. I will do anything for the girls on my boat and I take my position very seriously. Ohio State has a lot of school pride and they have won NCAA championships before and I wanted to be a part of a program that’s rising.” “Amanda just started (being a) coxswain a year ago, but she’s the type of girl who’s very positive and very caring,” Chase said. “She’s very determined and has done an amazing job to be the coxswain on my heavyweight varsity 8. The girls love her, and she’s a leader.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Spring Football FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE RETURNS In the sixth week of a spring football series looking at central Ohio high school programs, ThisWeek is featuring the City League-South Division. To read full offseason stories on each team, as well as others throughout central Ohio during the coming weeks, go to Friday Night Live at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

Top stories 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 defeat-

ed Westerville North 9-2 on May 6 to clinch the OCCCardinal 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?’”

“The offense is looking really great right now,” VanBoven said. “We’re just trying to keep on producing.” If New Albany won its tournament opener, its opponent in a district semifinal Tuesday, May 17, at DeSales would be 11th-seeded Marysville or Reynoldsburg. Marysville improved to 15-9 by beating Upper Arlington 3-2 in the first round May 9. The Monarchs had won four of five games entering the postseason, including beating Scioto 4-1 on May 6. “I think we got a good draw,” Talpas said. “We’ve gotten good pitching, and that will carry us a long way. We’ve got to get big hits. Wynston McMartin and Demaree Parsons both pitched in the tournament last year.” In the loss to Mount Vernon, the Eagles had McMartin on the mound but left nine runners on base.

Below are the recent results and coming schedule for the New Albany baseball team: *May 4 — Lost to Mount Vernon 3-2 *May 5 — Defeated Franklin Heights 16-0 *May 6 — Def. Mount Vernon 8-7 in eight innings

Austin Winterbauer pitched his first complete game of the season for the win. “For them to regain their composure was big,” Talpas said of his team. “(Big Walnut) had the momentum and then they got out to a 1-0 lead. “(Winterbauer) had been pitching a lot in relief and that was actually his first start.

Peace Week Walk raises Preparing your teen for college $2,000 for ALS Association Financial finesse

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.

New Albany High School students raised $2,000 for the ALS Association Central and Southern Ohio Chapter from a walk held April 20 during the NAHS Peace Week celebration. Last week, students and members of Ultimate U Total Health, who coached students before the walk, met with Marlin Seymour, executive director of the ALS Association chapter, to present him a check.

Ultimate U provided free training sessions before the walk. Entrance fees for the walk raised the money that was given to the ALS Association. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. It is commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. — Lori Wince

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€”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

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

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.

Worthington Inn has revamped spring menu MENU

The backs of the rock-tour-apt black T-shirts worn by busboys read: “Local, Fresh and Natural since 1831.” On the restaurant's Twitter feed — near notices by G.A. Benton for its just-released spring menu and a wine dinner featuring grilled quail, ramps and morel mushrooms — was this: “I already know because you’ve seen this cook with wine, sometimes I even add it reviews headline and photos. to the food. (W.C. Fields).” What cheeky But do you take my point? Mention eatery could I be speaking of? OK, you the extraordinary Worthington Inn, and too often people say “great Sunday brunch” and then, as the image of an expensive and vintage joint visited with parents takes hold, the conversation sputters. And that is sad. Yes, the greatingredient- and creative-chef-drivBy Jodi Miller/ThisWeek en Worthington King's Farm chicken entree at the Worthington Inn. Inn exists in the

uppermost echelons of Columbus restaurants, so it can be pricey. And sure, it’s housed in a museum-quality, 19th-century country mansion. But the inn offers some oh-so-good values and isn’t in the least lagging behind our local-ingredient-focused fine-dining scene. If you doubt these things, you’re likely the one lagging. Part of the Worthington Inn’s 2011 spring menu is its revamped pub offerings available in the casual bar area (where terrific jazz bands play on Friday and Saturday evenings) and the front-porch-like patio. From that short food list, the Ohioraised, grass-fed beef Lights Out Burger ($13) was a knockout. Arriving on a toasted, locally baked Stan Evans sesame-seed bun was a lean and mean heavyweight-champion patty with a killer grilled crust. This juicy mauler is brilliant, robed in thick-cut, super-crispy bacon, fun “tobacco onions” (like ungreasy onion straws), arugula, cheddar cheese and a zingy and sweet barbecuetype sauce. In the burger’s corner were

terrific, fresh house-transformed pickles and nifty hand-cut fries. Some extra cheap selections from the pub menu are the thin and snappy-crusted Grilled Flatbreads. These come in either a surprisingly spicy meat version (with hot Italian sausage and banana peppers) or a rich and pungent veggie (with Point Reyes bleu cheese, shiitake mushrooms, spinach and caramelized onions). Both are half-priced during happy hour (3-7 p.m. Monday through Friday), setting you back about $5. At $2.50, the clever Cucumber-Chili Ceviche is always cheap and bursting with light, lively and refreshing flavors. Here, big hunks of cucumber are bathed in fresh lime, a habanero zest heating up and cooling off sprinkles of cilantro. The new dinner menu frequently — and winningly — unites Mediterranean cuisine with Asian flavors and French techniques. Thus a lovely duck appetizer special ($14) presented beautiful, fanned-out pink fowl gently “black tea smoked.” Accompanying the meat was

a neat peanut-buttery noodle salad (with slivered veggies and spicy nuts) plus a not-gloppy sweet chili sauce. Ginger and sesame oil tied together the plate’s clean flavors. Also great was the Spring Lamb ($32). Perfectly grilled, succulent chops were outfitted with fluffy couscous topped with a racy artichoke and harissa ragu, plus the yin and yang of minty tzatziki and sriracha sauces. If you think chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans sound humdrum (they do), try them here and you'll think again. A black-peppery crusted, locally raised free-range half bird (with a deboned thigh) arrived with a rich demi-like morel gravy, tangy spuds and a buttery and pretty succotash of haricots verts, squash and tomatoes. Dessert-wise, the shortcake-like Strawberry Molly ($8) similarly added cheffy verve (and white chocolate mousse) to another spring-flinging favorite. The moral (and morel) of this story: the inn is in.

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, diner-style 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.

Inaugural ‘Bark for Life’ to serve as Relay fundraiser By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Organizers of the Gahanna-New Albany Relay For Life will host the first “Bark for Life” from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 14, at Friendship Park, 150 Oklahoma Ave., in Gahanna. Stephanie Musko, Gahanna-New Albany event chair, said the Bark for Life sounded like a lot of fun, so her team, “Team Musko,” decided to sponsor it as a fundraiser for Relay For Life. Bark for Life is a noncompetitive walk event, giving dogs and their owners an opportunity to become involved in raising funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Gahanna-New Albany. The day starts with a walk, honoring canine cancer survivors, and then continues with contests and games. “My husband and I will be taking our dog, Poe, a Jack Russell,” Musko said. Bark for Life shares the theme of the 2011 Relay For Life: “Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.” Many of the research advances for human cancer, such as research funded by the American Cancer Society,

are used to treat dogs with cancer, as well, Musko said. “It’s a great opportunity to have fun, meet new friends and join in with your canine family members in supporting Relay For Life,” she said. “When you participate in Bark for Life, you are helping to fund cancer research, education, advocacy and community programs for cancer patients and their families.” The eighth annual Gahanna-New Albany Relay For Life will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, May 21, and continue through 10 a.m. Sunday, May 22, at Columbus Academy, 4300 Cherry Bottom Road. “I’ve been involved with Relay since my junior year at Muskingum College,” Musko said. “I graduated in 2006 and then moved to Columbus. My younger brother, Michael, is a cancer survivor and both grandmothers passed away from cancer. Being active with the cancer society is important to me.” Gahanna resident Andrea Weiser, event co-chair, said she became involved with Relay because her dad had died from brain cancer two years ago. “I thought it would be a good way to raise money

Truly Amazing 215 Acre Farm in Southeast Ohio. Here, here! Get your farm here! This is an absolutely spectacular 215 m/l acre farm in Morgan County. With approximately 80 acres of tillable bottomland, a year-round creek, house and barns, and mineral rights (ATO)! Its located at the end of the dead-end road, so it offers plenty of privacy and you hear only what nature has to offer! The wooded hillsides offer plenty of cov er for deer and turkeys. If you are a hunter like me, then youll be slobbering at the mouth when you see this piece! The land is nice and fertile for farming (or food plots). Last year, the open ground was used for such things as corn, hay, food plots, and pasture. The uses of this property are limitless! The 3 bed room house is partially fin ished, so you can add your finishing touches. There are 2 cabins, one large barn, 2 milk houses, and several other sheds/barns. Did I mention the historical covered bridge over the creek? It does not come with the property, but is rather an old crossing on the township road that is only available for crossing on foot. Very neat!!! If you are looking for a true, one of a kind farm, then do yourself a favor and sched ule your showing! Call Brooks at 740-591-3279
