City works deal with former Onyx club By CHRIS BOURNEA ThisWeek Community Newspapers Upper Arlington City Council members decided to move forward Monday night with an ordinance allowing alcohol to be served at the Amelita Mirolo Barn in Sunny 95 Park, a traffic study of the Lane Avenue corridor and an agreement with the owner of the former Onyx nightclub designed to crack down on criminal activity. The city attorney’s office began negotiating with Onyx’s owner, Shahriar Kazemi, following a Nov. 14 shooting in which two men were wounded. The negotia-

tions entailed efforts to increase safety at the nightclub in exchange for the city withdrawing its objection for renewal of the liquor license. Late last year, Kazemi rejected a tentative agreement with the city that included changing the nightclub’s music format from “gangsta rap” to mainstream hip-hop and top 40 and a requirement that the business pay a $25,000 fine if it violated any aspect of the agreement. The new agreement approved by council includes the music format change and a counter-proposal that Kazemi’s attorney submitted lowering the fines to $10,000 for a first offense, $15,000 for

a second offense and $25,000 for a third offense if the club violates the agreement. The agreement also enables the city to fine the nightclub, which has been renamed Posh, if police charge anyone with 20 misdemeanors, two or more felonies or the discharge of a firearm in the vicinity of the club within a 12-month period. Nugent Drive resident Jennifer Belemu told council that even though the club changed its name, she still has to call the police every week because the music is too loud. “The ‘top 40’is the same music he was playing before. It’s hardcore rap. My windows shake,” Belemu said. “It’s not just

the music. It’s the loud crowd, it’s the fighting in the parking lot. I have children. Every single resident has children. It’s not an appropriate place for a bar.” Upper Arlington Police Chief Brian Quinn said police have not received many complaints or noticed problems at the nightclub in recent months. He added that officers have measured the decibel level outside the club and will do so again to make sure it does not exceed the limit allowed by city code. Council voted 6-1 to approve the agreement with Kazemi, with Mary Ann Krauss casting the dissenting vote. Council also voted 6-1 to enter into an

agreement with Los Angeles-based consulting firm AECOM to conduct the Lane Avenue corridor transportation study. After the city attorney negotiated the contract, the cost was lowered to $59,500 from a previous proposed fee of $65,450 and no longer includes a 10 percent contingency fee to cover travel expenses for AECOM consultants. AECOM representative Pete Seckler, an Upper Arlington native, said he and other members of his firm conducted the London Drive traffic study two years ago in Upper Arlington. He said the Lane AvSee CLUB, page A3

‘Conversation’ focused on present, future senior needs By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Residents and city staff members commented on what they like about Upper Arlington and what services they’ll need as seniors in the next 10 years at a public participation meeting May 5 in the Municipal Services Center. “There are so many good things,” “It feels like home” and “It’s the most inviting and livable community in central Ohio” were among the comments that

summed up what the people said of their city. Other good things the listed about UA were the responsive city services, excellent schools, senior services, the library, shopping, people, the Lifelong Learning program, emergency services, parks and recreation, mental health services and the beauty salon. Just over a dozen people participated in what was called a “Community Conversation” of the Master Plan Community Facilities & Services Ad Hoc Com-

mittee. Assistant city manager Joe Valentino said 30 or more people have attended past sessions, and attributed the lower turnout to people mowing their lawns on a sunny day. “Instead of us telling you what we think, we want to put you to work,” Valentino told those attending. For about two hours, they did, breaking off in small groups amid the “Mothers Artists at Work” exhibit in the Concourse Gallery. At the start of the session, the attendees said they thought they’d

require an improved senior center facility, more focus on healthcare, alternative housing solutions, adapting homes to their needs, recreation, transportation and socialization. Per Valentino’s instructions, they discussed several topics of interest to residents 55 or older by reviewing the relevance of existing community facilities and services. They talked about new goals to incorporate into the next Master Plan, by reviewing needs, See SENIORS, page A3

TechColumbus community sponsors joined with advanced energy industry leaders last week at the kickoff of the new Central Ohio Energy Manufacturing Solutions Hub. The hub, which is designed to reduce operational costs for advanced energy manufacturing companies, is intended to increase the success rate of energy start-ups and encourage energy manufacturing companies to locate in central Ohio. It is a partnership of TechColumbus, Columbus2020, Edison Welding Institute (EWI), Battelle, the Ohio State University Institute for Energy and the Environment and Center for Automotive Research (CAR). A $250,000 grant was awarded to TechColumbus in 2010 by the State of Ohio to develop an advanced energy industry in central Ohio. According to EWI Energy Center director Kim Gibson, the new hub is one of several around the state with a similar mission. Franklin County, Columbus, Dublin, Gahanna, New Albany, Upper Arlington and Westerville all provide investment funds and other resources to TechColumbus. TechColumbus uses these resources to attract larger investments. The kick-off took place at TechColumbus last Thursday, May 5, with 130 people attending.

“I am excited about the opportunities and concepts this hub project provides our community,” said Dana Matt McDaniel, Shad Dublin’s director of economic development. “Central Ohio has a long history of manufacturing, especially automotive, and we’ve got CAR doing great things here. This project will focus those talents in our region and people will migrate to it.” Matt Shad, Upper Arlington’s economic development director, shared McDaniel’s excitement. “We’re committed to this cause,” Shad said. “Having the nucleus of this hub project right on Upper Arlington’s border means access to the businesses and their workforce, which is great for our community. I expect that this hub will enhance what is already a potential industry of strength in [central Ohio].” According to Shad, between 2008 and 2010, Upper Arlington invested $150,000 in TechColumbus. From that, TechColumbus reinvested $1.5 million of its combined resources in Upper Arlington businesses. That investment was then leveraged by the businesses to result in outside investments totaling $4.3 million. See TECH, page A2

Amelita Mirolo Barn open for annual ‘Spring Fling’ By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Upper Arlington Parks and Recreation Department’s annual “Spring Fling,” slated from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 21 in Sunny 95 Park, will feature the opening of a new venue, as well as some favorite past activities. “Spring Fling started as a variety of smaller events and we combined them,” said program assistant Cheryl Hyatt. “This is the fifth year for

Spring Fling as a combined event.” One of those events is the Touch-A-Truck, which showcases various city service and safety vehicles for kids to climb in and honk the horn. “The whole event started as a way for people to get to know the people behind the trucks,” said cultural arts manager Lynette Santoro-Au. “ Also appearing are the Columbus Bomb Squad’s bomb retrieval robot and heavy rescue unit, as well as the WBNS-TV helicopter, Hyatt said. “Nothing is as show-stopping as when the hel-

Area high school students honored at 20th All Star Salute By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Northwest Counseling Services honored 65 northwest area high school students for their achievements Friday at the 20th annual All Star Salute. Students from 13 high schools were selected for the honor by their schools in recognition of their academic achievement, demonstrated leadership at their schools, participation in extracurricular activities and service to the community. Keynote speaker Chris Spielman, former OSU All American linebacker and ESPN football analyst, told the students that the world would be a better place if everyone understood their purpose on earth is to serve others and not themselves. Keeping that in mind will lead to a “wonderful life” and earn one true wealth, which is not measured in the accumulation of money and material things, Spielman said. He told the story of his own awakening to the realization of the need to serve, which occurred after he suffered a serious injury while playing for the Buffalo Bills and learned soon afterward that his wife, Stefanie, had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Hard times will come to everyone, Spielman said. The impor-

tant thing is how you respond to those challenges. It is important to recognize the many people who have helped you along the way and to learn from their example, he said. Following Spielman’s speech, the students from each school were called up to receive their award. The honored students from each school were: • Grandview Heights High School — Margaret Clemens, Katie Coffman,Alex Jones, Diana Lolli and Colin Ridgeway. • Hilliard Bradley High School — Nicklaus Conner, Reynold Cornell, Leslie Johnson, Rebecca Nikolaus and Krishna A. Patel. • Hilliard Darby High School — Zachary Bringman, Landon Erb, Kirstyn Federer, Eric Mescher and Andrea Villena. • Hilliard Davidson High School — Brian Bowers, Katie Holland, Rebekah Kauffman, Craig Lantz, Jr. and Brendan Page. • Upper Arlington High School — Ava Cramp, Kyle Hatton, Michael Johanni, Drew Sylvester and Victor Alexander Verlage. • Bishop Watterson High School — Sam Besozzi, Elizabeth Marie George, Elizabeth G. Ireson, Zachary Kerscher and Annie Krzan. • Centennial High School — Nkiruka “Nikki” Aniagolu, Imani Ifedi, Daniel Neutzling, Laura

Watkins and Taylor Wicks. • Columbus Academy — Elizabeth Benson, Emily Daoud,Alex Farrenkopf, Stephan Kim and Allison Martin. • Columbus School for Girls — Miranda P. Butler-Pettit, Jordan D. James, Madeleine Livingston, Abigail Petuchowski and Maria Pompili. • St. Charles Preparatory School — Weston Laurence Niermeyer, Joe O’Brien, Thomas Sinard, Osaze Udeagbala and Brian Wall. • The Graham School — Stephan Beavers, Tristan DeMaria, Damian Kirk, Bailey Smithhisler and Aharon Woodruff. • The Wellington School — Trent W. Boyer, Nickolas Bruno, Abigail Kaplan, Sitara Koneru and Taiyo Scanlon-Kimura. • Whetstone High School — Habeeb Al-Ghawi, Erin Beard, Katherine Fuller, Obagaeli NgeneIgwe and Peter Pajor. At the end of of the program, Northwest Counseling Services executive director King Stumpp announced that in honor of the 20th anniversary of the All Star Salute, scholarships were being given to Sinard, Verlage and Holland. It was difficult to choose only three scholarship winners among 65 students of such high achievement, Stumpp said.

things that I want to collaborate on,” Housh said at the event. “I’m looking forward to following up with them to see what we might be able to do together.” For more information about the hub project and TechColumbus investments, visit www.techcolumbus.org.

TECH Continued from page A1 Upper Arlington is not prime for manufacturing, Shad said, but is home to technology companies that are developing systems to support these energy solutions, and he hopes this project will produce similar results. “We don’t make small plans,” EWI director Gibson said. “We expect this hub to create a global center for energy storage manufacturing here.” “OSU CAR is at the forefront of designing batteries for transportation, and we’re at the forefront of manufacturing processes for them,” Gibson said. “There are hundreds of tiny welds in these batteries that have to withstand much greater demand than in the old battery your gas powered car uses. That drastically increases manufacturing costs. We want to solve that problem.” Battery technology for transportation is the hardest type of energy storage, Gibson said, because of all the requirements associated with it. But it translates directly to power-grid based storage. Battelle, according to Gibson, is a current leader in smart-grid technology, and they have partnered with EWI to develop manufacturing processes for these power grid components. “Every hub is reliant on an institutional anchor,” said Frank Scardena, Energy Manufacturing Solutions Hub director. “For us, it’s the OSU CAR program. They are making advances over there that are creating new technologies ripe for commercialization and are helping attract new businesses to the region that will only continue to advance our standing in this market.” Two of those businesses attracted to the region, according to TechColumbus, are Venturi NA, manufacturers of electric vehicles, and Plug Smart, developers of smart-grid technologies. “We are excited to be part of the hub,” Venturi CEO John Pohill said. “We’re looking forward

Continued from page A1 enue study, like the London Drive study, will involve public input but will be more comprehensive. “We can start by looking and listening to the very folks that are involved in this corridor,” Seckler said. Council member David DeCapua cast the dissenting vote, stating that he was concerned that the city hasn’t implemented some of the recommendations from the London Drive study and did not want to duplicate the process. Council members also heard further testimony from residents during the second reading of an ordinance that would remove Parking-by-Permit designations on Brandon and Chester roads and other streets near the Arlington Commons development at 1750 W. Lane Ave. Residents say patrons of the development’s Wine Bistro have been parking in front

of their homes, causing congestion and noise. Developer Bill Dargush said he and his business partners have been working to alleviate the problems by working out an agreement for employees to park at the nearby Sunoco station and offering valet parking to Wine Bistro patrons. Chester Road resident Timothy Lane said these methods won’t do any good without permit parking enforced by the city. He said he’s trying to sell his house and lost a potential buyer because of the parking situation. “Valet parking won’t do a thing,” Lane said. “Why would you pay five dollars when you can park in front of my house?” The third and final reading and council action on the ordinance to remove the Parking-by-Permit designations are scheduled for May 23. Also Monday night, council

voted 4-3 to allow alcohol consumption at the Amelito Mirolo Barn in Sunny 95 Park. City attorney Jeanine Hummer had set forth amendments to the legislation allowing alcohol consumption only inside the barn and restricting service to Monday through Thursday from 6 to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday and federal holidays from 5 to 10 p.m. After hearing concerns from area residents, council voted 4-3 to approve the legislation with an additional amendment introduced by Krauss to ban alcohol service Monday through Thursday. Council president Frank Ciotola and members Erik Yassenoff and DeCapua cast the dissenting votes, stating that they took into consideration residents’ concerns about allowing alcohol to be served in close proximity to Greensview Elementary School and a park where children’s activities take place. www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Continued from page A1 existing programs, ways to improve and new ideas. “The only way we can look ahead is to tell city government what you want,” said council member Mary Ann Krauss said during the session. There was also a call to add to a category called “other,” and participants came up with transportation, which joined the main

topics of adult care services, senior center programming, senior housing options (or aging in place and maintenance as another resident put it), multi-generational programming and caregiver support. Among the ideas the public came up with were city-funded transportation using students, letting people know about existing adult care services (including making the Commission on

Aging directory more available), making a community center that accepts all ages as opposed to a senior center, and providing single-story rental or subsidized housing for older people. Valentino said the public’s suggestions would be incorporated into the Master Plan, which will go before council for approval. The whole plan should be completed in October or November, he said.

Book-club-in-a-bag keeps library patrons engaged By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Oprah Winfrey may be responsible for popularizing book clubs, but the Upper Arlington Public Library is responsible for making many local book clubs happen. The library regularly hosts book clubs, including one in partnership with Upper Arlington High School and Panera Bread called â€œbooks and bagels.â€? But a new program, the libraryâ€™s â€œbook-club-in-a-bagâ€? option, has become an equally popular option, particularly with the youth. â€œWe started hosting book discussions with parents and their children for third- through fifthgraders a few years ago,â€? said Kate Hastings, a youth services librarian at the main library. â€œIt became so popular, we were able to expand it to two groups, one of second- and third-graders, another of fourth- and fifthgraders. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, we had to cut back these programs (to just one).â€? Those programming cutbacks created a demand for the libraryâ€™s book-club-in-a-bag option. The book-club-in-a-bag provides patrons of all ages with the option of checking out a set of 10 books and discussion materials so they may host their own book club with friends. Many of the book clubs meet at the library.

A closer look The book-club-in-a-bag provides patrons of all ages with the option of checking out a set of 10 books and discussion materials so they may host their own book club with friends. Many of the book clubs meet at the library.

â€œWeâ€™re full nearly every discussion,â€? Hastings said. â€œLast year we even had a few discussions that were moved into the Friends Theater because we didnâ€™t have enough room in our regular space.â€? Upper Arlington fifth-grader Gabriella Ott agrees. â€œIâ€™ve used (the book-club-ina-bag) a couple of times with my friends, and itâ€™s so fun,â€? Ott said. â€œAbout six of us used the discussion questions as well as our own ideas about the books â€” but the questions really helped start the conversation.â€? The multi-age programs are more than just the experience of sharing a book, according to Hastings. It is also a chance for parents to talk about topics that might otherwise not come up with their kids, and it gives older children the ability to teach younger children how to read, which has the effect of instilling greater confidence in their read-

ing skills. â€œHaving a range of ages when you do this with kids gives the older kids a chance to take the lead,â€? Hastings said. â€œItâ€™s really a good chance to turn kids around about reading â€” older kids, too.â€? The high-school program takes place throughout the school year, making the book-club-ina-bag a good opportunity during summer months. â€œWe challenge (the high school kids) with adult titles, both classics and new books, that they might not otherwise get exposure to,â€? Hastings said. Ott and her friends enjoy the variety they find in the bookclub-in-a-bag, she said, most recently reading â€œThe Tale of Despereaux.â€? â€œThe (book-club-in-a-bag) has such variety and has been such a good experience,â€? Ott said. â€œWith books, I can go anywhere.â€? The Library Link newsletter and events schedule for the summer will be available beginning Friday, May 13, and provides information about the Summer Reading Club and other upcoming book club programs, as well as book club registration information. Book-club-in-a-bag materials are available for check-out by patrons in the youth, young adult and adult sections of the library. www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

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

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

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

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

Commentary and opinion

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

FLING Continued from page A1 Hyatt said the barn will seat 140-150 people, and have a stage, a catering kitchen, restrooms and audio/video hookups. “It’s a rentable facility,” Hyatt said. “There will be a very nice patio that overlooks the pond, and a nice garden around it, so we’re hoping it’s the site of many wedding receptions, family reunions, business meetings. We plan on using it as much as we can. It’s a beautiful facility, and we’ll do all kinds of youth, senior programming out of it.” Hyatt said the Spring Fling typically draws 2,000 to 2,500 people. “It’s a great opportunity for us to get to talk to the community, and then we’ve added other elements to it over the years,” Santoro-Au said. www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Michelle Botomogno (30 feet, 1 1/2 inches) and Marissa Jaskot (30-0) placed second and third, respectively, in the shot put behind Reynoldsburg’s Britany Anderson (32-9). Menden placed second in the 800 (2:20.22) behind Coffman’s Rachel Weber (2:18.47), and the 800 relay of Leigh Anne Drake, Maren Levering, Mary Wesley Jones and Marguerite Beck was second (1:47.6) behind Scioto (1:45.49).

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

Junior Olivia Menden of the Upper Arlington High School girls track and field team took advantage of a delay to plan her strategy during the Larkin/Crosten Invitational on May 6. Menden and the rest of the runners in the 1,600 meters were 350 meters into the race when they were pulled off the track by meet officials because of lightning. The meet was halted for 1 hour, 38 minutes. “I heard thunder as we were running and this one girl next to me goes, ‘Whoa,’” Menden said. “When they stopped us, I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ “When they stop your race like that, all your adrenaline goes away. (During the

delay), I planned out my race. I was going, ‘Well, I know how the start is going to go. What am I going to do about it?’” What Menden did was come up with a winning strategy, as she completed the race in 5 minutes, 12.47 seconds as she edged the runner-up, Dublin Scioto’s Sakiko Minagawa (5:12.98). The first-place finish was one of many solid performances by the Bears in the meet. UA finished third in the Crosten Invitational with 85.5 points, behind Scioto (129) and Dublin Coffman (124.5) and ahead of Lancaster (67), Pickerington North (53), Northland (38), Reynoldsburg (24) and Watterson (6).

Lacrosse

Boys team captures MSLCA championship By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After its Midwest Scholastic Lacrosse Coaches Association “A” semifinal game against Cincinnati St. Xavier on May 6 was suspended with the score tied at 10 with 1 minute, 28 seconds remaining, the Upper Arlington High School boys lacrosse team went over possible scenarios for the final 88 seconds. “We went over all those things that could possibly happen,” attacker Tyler Pfister said. “I was up late that night just thinking about the situation we were in.” The next morning, all the planning was for naught, as Pfister found a seam in the St. Xavier defense and scored with a minute left to catapult the Golden Bears to an 11-10 win and into the MSLCA “A” championship game

for the first time since 2007. UA defeated Bloomfield Hills (Mich.) Brother Rice 11-3 in the final to win their first MSLCA title in four years. “As much as we planned things out, they ended up giving us a great look defensively,” coach Ted Wolford said. “Tyler got the green light and took care of business.” “Winning the Midwest means the world to us,” Pfister said. “Beating Brother Rice like that makes a statement. We played as a team, not so much as a bunch of individuals. That was the key for us.” UA has had a knack of pulling out close games this season. Before facing Thomas Worthington on May 11, the Bears were 5-1 in games decided by fewer than five goals. “We have a very solid group of leaders who understand the

payoff of hard work,” Wolford said. “They know what it takes to dig down deep and not give up anything. (When you have that), it makes a world of difference.” Luke Treece, who scored two goals and had three assists against Brother Rice, was named the tournament’s offensive Most Valuable Player and goalkeeper Jack Warmolts, who had 15 saves in the championship game, was named defensive MVP. Treece, attacker Cam Williams, defender Zach Powers and longstick midfielder Ben Grindle-deGraaf were first-team MSLCA selections. Attacker Adam Narwicz made second-team and Pfister, midfielder Kyle Vesper and defenders Stephen Barnett and Charlie Houck were named honorable mention.

Softball

Bears optimistic heading into tournament By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Despite the struggles that the Upper Arlington High School softball team endured during the final weeks of the regular season, coach Todd DelBoccio saw at least one big reason for optimism as the squad began the Division I district tournament. After the Golden Bears were seeded 16th of 38 teams, DelBoccio believed there was a reasonable opportunity that they would make it back to what has become familiar territory in recent years — a district semifinal. UA has advanced to at least that level in four of the past five seasons, including last year when it lost to Gahanna 1-0 in 11 innings in a district final. “We got the 16th seed, and that’s about what I was expecting,” DelBoccio said. “We got into a decent bracket. It would be nice to get back to district.”

If the Bears beat Northland on May 10 in their tournament opener, they will play Thursday, May 12, at 11th-seeded Pickerington Central or Columbus West in a second-round game. The winner of that game likely will face second-seeded Gahanna in a district semifinal Tuesday, May 17, at Pickerington North. The Lions play Dublin Scioto or Marion-Franklin in a secondround game Thursday, May 12. They were fourth in last week’s state poll behind Liberty Township Lakota East, Elyria and the district’s top-seeded team, Central Crossing. A game between UA and Pickerington Central would be a rematch of a non-league contest won by the Bears 8-6 on April 16. The Tigers were 12-8 heading into their final two games of the regular season. Since their game against UA, they moved senior Kaylee Shoff from shortstop to

third base and junior Hannah Dittoe from catcher to shortstop to solidify their defense. UA, meanwhile, lost six of seven after beating Central.

der. She was 4-3 with a 1.96 ERA in 13 games. Since that time, junior Margo Bennett and freshman Mckinly Vazquez have attempted to fill the void. Through 18 games, Vazquez was 4-4 with a 4.89 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 58 2/3 innings and Bennett was 0-2 with a 4.87 ERA in 18 2/3.

During a five-game skid since beating Dublin Coffman on April 18, the Bears faced three teams that were ranked in the area and were outscored by a combined 57-13. “Last year I was always fine coming in (to pitch) whenever they would need me, and now I want to come in and help, but I’m not able to pitch anymore because I’ve got real bad tendinitis in my shoulder and they said it wouldn’t be a good idea,” Abbruzzese said. “I feel like we’re a real young team, but we’re starting to come together and learn what our strengths are even though we’re losing to these teams. I think it would be a good experience (to make it to a district semifinal) because we are progressing, and I feel like once we get into the tournament, we’ll be a much better team. I feel like we could get farther than we did last year.” If UA makes it to a district semifinal, it likely would face a Ga-

hanna squad that earned a regional runner-up finish last season. The Lions have one of the district’s best pitchers in senior Brandis Fishel, who has signed with Division II Ohio Dominican University. Their No. 3 hitter, Tiyona Marshall, signed with Miami University last November and leads a lineup that has created significantly more offense than a year ago because of its speed and bunting ability. “We’ve just been so riddled with injuries this year, and hopefully we’ll be getting some of these players back, “ DelBoccio said. “Offensively we’re doing pretty well with Mimi Bair, Laramie Abbruzzese and Stephanie Turner leading the way. We have to cut down on our errors, and I think it’s just because we have a lot of younger kids playing. We’ve been inconsistent (defensively).” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Roudabush has plenty of passion about softball

UA’s Kent Bueche (right) hands the baton to Nathan Perry during the 3,200-meter relay on May 6. The Bears finished third.

TRACK Continued from page B1 May 14, at Hilliard Davidson. Last year, the girls team finished fourth with 107 points, behind Davidson (136.5), Hilliard Darby (117) and Thomas Worthington (108), and ahead of Coffman (99.5), Worthington Kilbourne (50), Central Crossing (29) and Westland (13). The boys team finished fifth (63.5) behind Davidson (136), Coffman (133), Darby (119.5) and Thomas (101), and ahead of Kilbourne (62), Central Crossing (29) and Westland (15).

Menden placed third in the 1,600 (5:13.09) in the league meet last season, behind Davidson senior Jessica Hoover (meet-record 5:01.47) and Davidson 2010 graduate Heather Coonfare (5:11.63). Hoover went on to place fourth (4:57.07) in the event in the Division I state meet. “There were some great runners (at the league meet last year),” Menden said. “You run against them all during the regular season, but this is like the first time you have everyone in the same place, at the same time. “I’m looking forward to that

competition. When I run against them, I know I’m going to get better.” The only advice junior Chase Dunivan received about what to expect at his first OCC-Central meet came in the form of a threeword sentence. “‘Expect to compete.’ That’s what the coaches have told me,” said Dunivan, a move-in from Oklahoma. “There’s going to be a lot of competition there, so just be ready.” In the Larkin Invitational, Dunivan teamed with Ryan McSheffery, Victor Pataky and Frank

Epitropoulos to place first in the 1,600 relay (3:29.66). “I like my individual events, but I love the relays even more because it’s a team thing,” Dunivan said. “If you try to make it individual, it won’t work.” Also finishing first were Epitropoulos in the long jump (21-0) and the 800 relay of McSheffery, Andrew Mariotti, James Trabue and Epitropoulos (1:32.37). pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

3-4 in OCC-Central Division dual matches, placed sixth in the Division I sectional tournament at Marysville and finished 39th in the district tournament at Hilliard Darby. The Golden Bears didn't send a representative to state the past two seasons.

When I was talking with a veteran high school softball coach in central Ohio about Hilliard Bradley’s talented senior, Kellie Roudabush, he told me, “It’s simple, Larry. This girl can flat out hit a softball.” And that is what this Jaguars standout has been doing all season. Through 18 games, Roudabush was batting .576 with seven doubles, three triples, four home runs and 20 RBI. She also has been stellar as a pitcher with a 10-2 record and a 1.99 ERA, but it’s her offense that has sparked Bradley to 15 wins in those 18 games. “I work very hard at every aspect of softball, but right now I have more confidence swinging the bat than the other parts of the game,” Roudabush said. “I do teework every day as I constantly try to improve as a hitter, and before we play I take a 10-minute jog and try to visualize what I am going to do at bat against their pitcher. All of that helps me focus on what I want to complete. When I am at bat I clear everything else out of my mind because I want no distractions and, until there are two strikes on me, I look for my pitch. “I guess I would be called a power hitter and I am striving to be a complete hitter, and that means taking what’s given to me and going with the pitch. When I was a freshman, I pulled everything and now, as I have matured, I have learned how to hit the outside pitch and how to hit the outside pitch with power. “I feel like I am a coachable athlete and I have been lucky to have coach (Kevin) Moody with me at both Hilliard Darby and here at Bradley. I have had my summer coaches and my dad work with me and they have been able to change my swing at times, teach me not to hit off my front foot too much, how to use my hips for power in my swing and the

importance of following through when you hit. I think I have learned well.” In the circle, Roudabush likes to LARRY rely on her LARSON full arsenal of pitches. “I have become the type of pitcher who can definitely bring the fastball, but I like to mix up my pitches to keep the opponents off balance,” she said. “I am very confident with my screwball right now and I never want the batters to know what is coming. I am also very confident with my teammates behind me on defense. Practice is definitely paying off with our team and we are learning to pick each other up if a mistake is made. Remember since Bradley is a new school we have only been together for two seasons. But everyone gets along and, even though I had two great years at Darby, I am glad I am here at Bradley because it has allowed me to be a leader on the team and that is something that has helped me grow as a person. I have learned that if you have a challenge, then go out and work hard to reach that challenge. Being a leader has helped me work with all kinds of people and has helped me mature as an individual.” Roudabush, who will play softball at the University of Akron beginning next year, is as passionate about her sport as any athlete I have interviewed. “I just love everything about softball,” she said. “I love to hit, I love to field, I love to pitch, I love to run the bases, I love sliding and I love being around a group of teammates that all have a common goal, and that is to win a conference title and hopefully a whole lot more.” I’ll see you at a game.

Bears’ Nini proving he belongs in lineup By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Mitch Nini wasn’t expected to be the second baseman for the Upper Arlington High School baseball team this season, but it didn’t take long for the freshman to show that he was ready to play varsity. Nini made his debut in the fourth game of the season — a 12-10, eight-inning loss to Fairfield on April 2 — and had two hits. “He didn’t start (the season on varsity) because we had a couple guys who we thought were better than him at the time,” coach Matt Middleton said. “It took a couple games for me to realize that we needed some sort of motivation, so we put him in the lineup. I wasn’t expecting him to be here the whole year, but he’s held his own. He’s here for a reason.” Through 20 games, Nini had a team-high .375 batting average with 12 RBI _ tied for fourth on the team _ and eight runs. He also has been solid in the field with a .939 fielding percentage (four errors in 65 chances). Nini figured that he would play junior varsity this spring but has enjoyed varsity. “I guess (playing varsity this season) was a goal,” he said. “I mean, I just wanted to play. (The coaches) brought me up for a doubleheader (against Watterson and Fairfield) and then they told me I was staying up. It’s been fun. I love it. “(The season) is going well. I’ve been hitting well lately. I’ve got to keep that up.” Middleton said Nini hasn’t looked out of place on varsity and has become one of the most consistent players on the team. “He’s not the strongest or fastest guy out here, but he makes the routine play and he handles his own with the bat,” Middleton said. “I have yet to see him overmatched by (any pitcher). He comes to work every day. He doesn’t have the deerin-the-headlights look that most freshmen do, which is a good thing. If he had that, he wouldn’t be here very long. I think a reason why he is so relaxed is that he understands that he doesn’t have to do it all. And we’ve told him that. We’ve told him to just go out and do your job. He does what we ask him to do. ... We’re very happy that we’ve got him up here and hopefully he continues to get better.” Nini, who had struck out only five times in 62 plate appearances through 16 games, started off batting ninth but gradually has moved up to sixth in the lineup. “We put him at the end of the lineup and he was doing so well there and other people were struggling, so we moved him up,” Middleton said. “He doesn’t strike out much. He puts the ball in play, and that’s what we need in that (sixth) spot.”

Middleton believes the 5-foot8, 130-pound Nini only has scratched the surface of his potential. “He needs to get stronger and he needs to get quicker, which I think will come with growing,” Middleton said. “If he continues to work at it, the sky’s the limit for him here and the next level. I’m just glad I have him for the next three years.” Another freshman, Will Marable, had appeared in 13 of UA’s first 20 games at shortstop when junior starting shortstop Michael Koltak was pitching. Marable was batting .208 with two RBI and five runs through 20 games. “Any time we know there’s a chance Michael will pitch, Will is (on varsity),” Middleton said. “Will isn’t hitting real well right now at (the varsity) level. He’s going to be good — he’s going to be real good if he puts his mind to it — but we took him down (to junior varsity) to get him some confidence and let him play every day because Michael

has solidified himself this year as our shortstop. I’m not going to have a freshman (on varsity) and sit, not play.” In addition to Nini, among the offensive leaders for the Bears through 20 games were senior outfielder Charles Cooper (.362, 17 RBI, 14 runs), senior first baseman Jon Borchert (.344, 13 RBI, 11 runs), junior catcher/outfielder Pat Crowley (.324, 8 RBI, 15 runs) and Koltak (.320, 12 RBI, 6 runs). Leading the way for UA on the mound were Cooper (2-3, 2.75 ERA, 23 strikeouts in 28 innings), senior Michael Jeffers (1-1, 3.05 ERA, 27 strikeouts in 18 1/3 innings), senior Doug Radcliff (1-2, 4.74 ERA, 10 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings) and Koltak (1-4, 6.54 ERA, 23 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings). Jeffers pitched a two-hitter and struck out 12 in a 12-0, fiveinning win over Central Crossing on April 28. pdolan@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

•Entering the season, girls coach Kim Rocheleau was concerned about her team’s defense after losing three key members of the defense that allowed an average of 5.5 goals a game to graduation. From 2007-10, the Bears allowed at least 10 goals 13 times, including six times during the 2009 season. Through 15 games this year, UA allowed 10 or more goals five times. However, Rocheleau believes her team’s defense is improving. The past six games, the Bears allowed an average of seven goals a game while scoring 11.3 per game. “We’re definitely developing defensively,” said Rocheleau, whose team is 1-6 this year when allowing opponents to score 10 or more goals. “We came into this season having an experienced attack already, but defensively we were a little new. Right now, we’re playing the best I’ve seen all season.” Top-seeded UA opens the Division I South/Central Region tournament against Loveland or Liberty Township Lakota East on Wednesday, May 18. The winner faces Dublin Scioto or Cincinnati Ursuline Academy in a regional semifinal May 23. Loveland was allowing an average of 14.8 goals a game while starting 1-11. Lakota East was allowing 13.2 goals while starting 2-7. UA has faced only two teams in its tournament bracket in Cincinnati Sycamore and Dublin Coffman.

We try to go out and win this every year.” “Nate and I are playing doubles together in sectionals, so this is good momentum to move forward,” Vannatta said. “Our net game was working, we were communicating well and we finished off points.” 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 Coffman’s Leon 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 the OCC-Central regular-season dual matches.

Labor Day Arts Festival

New food rules at the 45th annual Upper Arlington Labor Day Arts Festival will prohibit longtime vendors Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant and the Old Bag of Nails from participating this year. Lynette Santoro-Au, arts manager for the city of Upper Arlington, said it’s a change in philosophy for the festival, which hopes to open up patrons to a wider variety of food. In addition, the larger vendors cause considerable damage to the field at Northam Park, where the event

structure, it’s a logistical nightmare, she said. “The less stress we can put on the grass and on staff the better,” she said. Only food carts and trucks — those that need little or nothing in the way of electrical or water resources — are being accepted this year, she said. They likely will be moved to the perimeter of the park to keep wear and tear to a minimum, she said. “I have a lot more flexibility where they (carts) can be located,” she said. But officials with Schmidt’s

“

I consider this a community event and I consider Upper Arlington our community. I deserved a phone call I think.

MIKE BODEN

”

— Chief Operating Office for

Old Bag of Nails

and the Old Bag of Nails said they aren’t pleased with the decision. They say their bill of fare simply requires more equipment. Geoff Schmidt, who said his German Village restaurant has been at the festival for more than 25 years, said five rows of people stand 35 deep for bratwursts, Bahama Mamas, cream puffs and potato salad.

“The volume we do is much more than any cart or food truck could ever do,” said Schmidt, a 1969 graduate of Upper Arlington High School. Furthermore, they say the food is as much of a tradition as the art. They say they’re also upset the way they were notified. The city sent out a letter in April announcing changes in the foodservice policy, while adding the title: “Come for the art and stay for the cart.” Mike Boden, chief operating officer with Old Bag of Nails, said the local restaurant chain has been participating in the festival for about 12 years, ever since the company opened a store in Upper Arlington. “I consider this a community event and I consider Upper Arlington our community,” he said. “I deserved a phone call I think.” There was also confusion

about some aspects of the rules. The literature stated that “food carts only” would be acceptable this year. Santoro-Au said food trucks also will be permitted.

said he supports Santoro-Au’s decision. He said the 40-acre park is one of the most heavily used in the system. “We’ve had vendors that have totally destroyed areas of our turf,” he said. “I’ve seen hot oil damage where a grease fryer has been emptied on the turf.” Boden is skeptical about the claim of widespread damage. Furthermore, the grounds also support the Taste of UA, which allows the larger vendor setup. “I have never seen any damage to that park after a festival,” said Boden, an Upper Arlington resident who said he’s a frequent visitor of Northam Park. “That conversation was never brought to my attention, that what they were worried about was wear and tear on the grounds.”

Santoro-Au said the reorganization was not meant to single out certain vendors, particularly Schmidt’s and Old Bag. “They make a fine product,” she said. “They’re fun to work with. They’ve been very loyal.” The festival typically has anywhere from 15 to 20 vendors serving 20,000 to 25,000 people, Santoro-Au said. Schmidt and Boden said the current setup will not be adequate. Santoro-Au disagreed, saying that with enough planning and community outreach, “I think we’ll be able to work that out.” Tim Moloney, director of gseman@thisweeknews.com parks and recreation at the city, www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER PROJECT

State funding aids early detection In December of 1989 Elizabeth Cassady’s mother Roberta informed her “We realize that it’s unrealistic to expect the BCCP to family that she had been diagnosed receive more funding during these tough economic with breast cancer. Elizabeth recalls her concern for her mother was times. When the current budget problems are resolved overwhelming. So was the concern for and the state can dedicate more resources toward her own health as she knew she may be prevention, we will continue to show the cost benefits at a higher risk of breast cancer than the average woman. of early screening versus treatment and ask that Elizabeth also understood, through funding be increased.” her mother’s own battle, that if detected early the survival rate is very good.

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

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

Needing a second screening and an ultrasound, the Cancer Clinic informed Elizabeth that she would be eligible for assistance through the state’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Project (BCCP). Administered by the Ohio Department of Health through funding by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state budget appropriations, the BCCP provides mammograms, diagnostic testing and case management services to low-income women in Ohio who don’t have insurance coverage and fall in the eligibility gap for the state’s Medicaid system. Last year, the Ohio BCCP screened See STATE, on page C3

OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEER

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

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

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

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

Huge sale a ‘Valuable’ event for German Village neighborhood By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers

It’s spring cleaning — German Village style. Village Valuables, described as central Ohio’s largest yard sale, will be held throughout the neighborhood from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 14. “It is a spectacle,” longtime participant Jerry Glick said. “You would not believe the things up for sale.” Glick said the sale is so big, people often plan their vacations around it. “There are busloads of people who come, even out of state, for this because it’s like 300 yard sales at one time in one neighborhood,” he said. Glick and friends will sell everything from furniture to books to Ohio State paraphernalia. He’ll even have a sailboat — well, at least a picture of one. The real

thing is docked at Buckeye Lake. Village Valuables started as an add-on to the Haus und Garten Tour but broke off as its own event because it didn’t fit in with the mission of the tour, Glick said. “We thought it was best to have all your yard sales at once,” he said. Pat and Patty Phillips, who live on Lathrop Street, won’t have anything for sale but intend to take advantage of the deals in the neighborhood. Patty Phillips said it’s a great way for German Village residents to connect over some beverages while also showing off the community. “It is a big social event,” she said. “It’s one of the biggest events to bring outside people to the village.” It’s also a good time. “It’s probably one of the most fun events in the village because you get to ‘people watch’ to the

max,” she said. “And you always get to go around and see what kind of treasures you will find.” The event also is good for some businesses in the area. A crowd of hungry patrons often begins gathering at Rooster’s on City Park Avenue about an hour before it opens at 11 a.m. “Usually people are lined up” to get in, said Brandy Grove, general manager of the restaurant. George Stefanidis, owner of Easy Street Café on Thurman Avenue, said he, too, expects a hectic morning and afternoon. “It’s busy. It’s nuts,” he said. Easy Street, which opens at 10 a.m., will offer its traditional menu of Greek and American tavern fare, as well as a full complement of brunch items. Stefanidis said he’s happy to be part of the Village Valuables tradition. “Everybody looks forward to it,” he said.

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.

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 ERIC apartment and live off CLARKE campus, show him your monthly bills. This should help him gain a better understanding of how much things really cost and how much he will need to budget to cover his bills before he gets in over his head. Is a free T-shirt worth access to a Social Security number? The likely answer is, probably not, but our teens might not see it that way. This is a time when teens need to learn about how to care for their “identity” and how quickly thieves can steal their identity. This is an opportune time to give your children a basic un-

Become a part of New

derstanding about the access their Social Security numbers provide to their identity and how long it can take to repair their credit if it gets into the wrong hands. Not sure where to start? Some of this information might be provided during your teen’s college orientation, but if you’d like to give your teen an advantage, you might consider consulting your financial institution for tips on talking to teens or seek seminars offered on such topics as campus safety, protecting your identity and the do’s and don’ts of having that first credit card. Fifth Third Bank will be hosting “College Prep 101 Open Houses” on May 18, 20 and 21 at area banking centers.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen IS HEARING IMPAIRMENT LINKED WITH DEMENTIA RISK? Reporting what may be one of the best reasons yet to purchase a hearing instrument, new research shows that hearing-impaired individuals have an increased risk of developing dementia as they age. The study involved more than 600 men and women between ages 36 and 90 over a decade. Each of the study’s participants had a hearing test at the beginning of the study, and none had signs of dementia. By the end of the study, nine percent of its participants had some kind of dementia. Those with mild hearing losses had nearly twice the chance of developing dementia as those with normal hearing. The risk was threefold for those with moderate hearing losses and fivefold for severe impairment. Choosing a hearing professional is one of the most important decisions a hearing impaired person can make At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our goal is to provide the best possible hearing care, based upon each patient’s individual needs. We fit and dispense state-of-the-art hearing instruments and related devices to suit all types of hearing loss and lifestyles. Please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a hearing evaluation. On average, our patients travel 40 miles each way to save 25% to 70% on their hearing! We are located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna. We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!
