Orange Township is not interested in being in the middle of a controversy and will negotiate a new contract with the county sheriff next year, trustee Nelson Katz said. The township contracts for deputies with the sheriff’s office. For those contracts, the township pays about 50 percent of the cost and the sheriff’s ofNelson Katz fice pays the rest. The contracts came under fire in February during discussions at a Powell citizens budget advisory meeting, after which county commissioners received complaints from a few residents. Those residents said such contracts increase costs for all county taxpayers, because the sheriff’s office still pays for training, equipment and other costs. Residents said Orange Township should pay the total cost. See ORANGE PLANS, page A2

Powell discusses employee insurance By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Powell’s 2010 decision to switch to a high-deductible health insurance plan for employees was wise, the city’s insurance broker told the city council finance committee. Brian Gatch of Wells Fargo discussed the city’s medical insurance at the finance committee meeting May 10. High-deductible plans were developed by insurance companies as a way to control costs and educate consumers

on the actual costs of medical services, Gatch said, noting the plans are used by employers wanting to cut insurance costs. Over the years, costs began to increase rapidly because consumers readily went to doctors, maybe unnecessarily, because the cost to them was so low, he said. The escalation in use resulted in escalating costs, he said. Though Powell “generously subsidizes” its employee health insurance plan, it is not an “outlier” but “more toward the norm,” Gatch said. He did

not have data on how other public or private sector employee medical insurance plans compare to what the city provides, but said he will bring it to the committee’s June 14 meeting. The insurance discussion was the beginning of the committee’s in-depth look at city expenses. The city has been on a high-deductible plan since 2010, said finance director Debra Miller, though the traditional plan is still offered. “Everyone in the city is on the highdeductible health savings account

plan,” city spokesperson Jeff Robinson told ThisWeek. “Total cost per month (for) the plan is $374.90 for a single, $749.80 for an employee and spouse, $731.06 for an employee and children and $1,162.20 for a family. Employees pay 7 percent of that cost.” In 2001, the city paid 100 percent of the employee insurance cost, Miller said. With the high-deductible plan, the employee also gets a health savings

An executive session on upcoming contract negotiations was held preceding the Olentangy school board work session on May 11. Superintendent Wade Lucas and treasurer Becky Jenkins said before the meeting that three-year contracts with unions representing custodial, maintenance and other classified workers, as well as one representing transportation employees, will expire June 30. Both groups are represented by the Ohio Association of Public School Employees. Lucas and Jenkins anticipate contract talks will begin before the school year ends in early June.

Liberty residents complain about data center’s noise By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Winter Road residents whose property borders the Citigroup data center on May 17 told Liberty Township trustees that noise from the site wakes them in the middle of the night. Kurt Paulus said he has discussed the problem with the township and the business for about two years. Generators that operate cooling towers for the computer equipment create a low-pitched, droning, resonating sound, Paulus said. “Last week, I obtained a noise meter and inside the bedroom was 60.4 (decibels), which is a pretty hefty sound level,” Paulus

said. “It woke the entire neighborhood up at 4:25 a.m. and it went on pretty much all last week.” Paulus said 42 decibels is considered acceptable in a residential community. The sound from the center is not continuous, but intermittent, he said. “When a new business comes into your area, after you allow

them zoning, you have no recourse ... on noise,” Paulus said. “So, be careful who you allow in. I was a little disappointed that this wasn’t caught at the time they were allowed in. Data centers have big generators and cooling towers.” Citigroup spokesperson Janis Tarter on May 17 told ThisWeek, “We have been working with the residents who live near the zoned industrial park where our data center is located. While our center operates within approved standards for the area, we are sensitive to the comments of our neighbors. We will continue to maintain an open dialogue on this issue, to make certain that

Orange plans new pact for sheriff’s service Continued from page A1 Though only informal discussion has occurred, Katz said he recommended to county officials that the township pay 100 percent of the costs for dedicated deputies. For 2011, however, the township will not pay more than it had planned. Katz said in April he spoke at different times with commissioner Dennis Stapleton, Sheriff Walter Davis and Don Collins of the county prosecutor’s office, advising them to “wipe the slate.” “My proposal to them, in informal discussions, was to simply shut the door on whatever current arrangement we have and start anew,” Katz said. Katz said trustees Jennifer Christian and Robert Quigley are in agreement with his recommendations and allowed him, as public safety liaison, to move forward with relaying that infor-

mation to the county officials. Any new contract arrangement with the sheriff would require discussion and a vote at an open session of the board of trustees, Katz said. “We’re trying to balance two things: the dollar amount that we (originally) contracted for with the amount of service that Orange Township requires,” Christian said. The township projected spending $438,000 in 2011, which under the current contract is about half the cost for eight deputies who work only in Orange. Katz proposed taking that amount and buying, at 100 percent reimbursement of cost to the county, however much police services and protection can be purchased. Katz estimates and hopes it would provide about four to five deputies, as opposed to the current eight.

The township will not increase the amount it slated for the service, Katz said. The deputies “should be fully dedicated to the township, because we’re paying 100 percent of the cost,” Katz said he proposed. County administrator Tim Hansley said the county prosecutor’s office is close to bringing information on the issue to the county commissioners. The prosecutor’s office has been reviewing “the existing contract that the sheriff has with Orange Township. The goal is to ensure that that contract complies with the current statutes.” “I want to make sure that we are on totally solid ground,” Katz said, “and ground that everyone agrees is correct. So we don’t have any dispute. Orange Township cooperates with the county, with the sheriff. We’re a member of Delaware County. We’re

“Anything is on the table,” Lucas said of the upcoming talks. “We’ve assured our voters the levy is going to last.” On May 3, voters OK’d a combination three-year, 7.9-mill operating levy and no-new-millage bond issue. “Unfortunately, passing the school levy is not the savior of the world for us. ... We still have a lot of work to do,” board president Julie Wagner Feasel said during the work session. Olentangy officials have said that even with the levy’s approval, the district estimates it must make about $9.3 million in cuts and costsaving measures during the next three years. They hope to spare academic programs from any cuts. A firmer number will be known once the state’s two-year budget is approved and the extent of state funding cuts to schools are set by the Ohio Legislature. Before the May 11 meeting, Lucas said the district will seek to hold the line on step-pay increases in new contracts. Base pay also will be a topic during negotiations. No employee received base-pay increases this school year. Classified workers get automatic step-pay increases based on

experience. Unionized teachers also receive step-pay increases based on both experience and advanced degrees, such as earning master’s or doctorate degrees, or completing a certain number of hours toward such degrees. Teachers previously approved a one-year contract extension that will expire on June 30, 2012. Step pay will be an issue next year when the district negotiates with teachers, Lucas said. The continued sustainability or financial health of the 16,000-student district depends on such things as dealing in a cost-efficient way with employee salaries and benefits, Lucas said. Jenkins said before the May 11 meeting that she anticipates the levy’s income, which had been projected at about $25.5 million a year, will decrease because of falling real estate values. How much revenue will be lost is uncertain, she said, but any losses likely will cause additional cutbacks and cost-saving measures. During the work session, board members heard presentations about a four-day, 10-hour summer work schedule and some proposed changes in the school calendar for the 2013-14 school year. Jeff Gordon, the district’s director of business management,

told the board that a plan to implement the four-day, 10-hour work schedule beginning the week of June 13 could save an estimated $70,000 this summer. Administrators, such as principals and vice principals, secretaries, and custodial and other classified staff would work Monday through Thursday with buildings closed on Fridays. The savings would be realized in lower energy costs for air-conditioning and lighting. “Every time we don’t run things, there is going to be a savings,” Gordon told board members. “We’re trying to find these efficiencies.” The plan is based on one used by a suburban school district in Indianapolis which saved about $100,000 last summer, he said. Board members seemed pleased by the plan. Member Scott Galloway called it a great idea. The 2013-14 school calendar could see some significant changes if approved by the board. Instead of starting toward the end of August, the proposal calls for starting school Aug. 14 and ending by Memorial Day. That would mean starting a week earlier than what has been the traditional starting day and ending a week earlier, officials said at the May 11 meeting. Board members seemed to like the idea.

Genoa co-events offer family fun By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Genoa Township Business and Entertainment Expo and the Genoa Township 2011 Bicycle Tour will be held the weekend of May 21. It is the inaugural for both activities that are expected to be held annually. The Business and Entertainment Expo will run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, May 21-22, in the Regency Northgate Plaza Center at the northeast corner of the Maxtown Road and state Route 3 intersection. It is coordinated by the Genoa Township Business Association (GTBA). Entertainment at the event will include performances by the bands DDouble Vision, The Cadillacs, The Republicrat, and Jimi & the Coolers, and by soloists Morgan Racik of Genoa Middle School and Molly Doyle of Pickerington High School; an inflatable bounce house, an obstacle course; and children’s activities.

Businesses in the center will have booths and sidewalk sales. Food and beverages will be sold, and a raffle for a Nissan Pathfinder automobile will be held Genoa Township Fire Department will have a smoke house on site, and the township’s police department will be there Saturday morning when the township’s own police dog, Brutus, will give a demonstration on his contribution to the area’s safety. The event will occur rain or shine. “We wanted to feature the businesses in the township area and highlight the local entertainment,” said Bob Zimmerman from Spirit Concepts and GTBA member. “It should be a good time all day long, both days. It’s family friendly.” For information about the event, visit www.genoatba.com. Three bicycle tours will be held on Saturday, May 21. A 25-mile tour begins at 9 a.m.; a 15-mile tour will start at 9:45 a.m. and a five-mile tour begins at 11 a.m. All tours will start and end at

Trek Bicycle Store, 5985 Maxtown Road, Westerville. The event is coordinated by Genoa Township Parks Department. “It’s a healthy and fun outing,” said parks manager Ron Keil. “It’s supporting the community and the proceeds go to the park improvement funds, which are used to enhance the township parks.” Cost for the bicycle tour are $50 for a family package up to two adults and three children; $25 for riders 18 years and older, and $10 for a rider under age 18. Bicyclists can register for the event up to the day of the event. Registration forms are available at www.genoa twp.com or in the Genoa Township Administration Office, 5111 S. Old 3C Highway, Westerville. Keil said that township dollars are not spent on the event, which has been paid for by sponsors OhioHealth, Floyd Browne Group and Trek Columbus. Rider fees for the tour benefit the Genoa Township Park Improvement Fund.

Liberty residents complain about data center’s noise Continued from page A1 we continue to operate within governmentally approved noise-emission standards.” “We have a 300,000-square-foot data center,” trustee Curt Sybert said. “This isn’t the type of business that you can walk up and knock on the door and talk to the manager. The center has high security. Nobody goes there unannounced.” Township administrator Dave Anderson visited the site when the generators were on and said it wasn’t loud, but conceded that the machines weren’t “under load,” which increases the sound. Resident Janene Paulus said neighbors also are concerned about the noise’s effects on a nearby nature preserve. Paulus, a state registered engineer, said it will take a sound engineer to determine what’s needed to muffle the sound. “It wouldn’t take much. It would take a little money,” Paulus said. “The ironic part is if my dog barks, they can file a misdemeanor against me, but the township people have no recourse (with commercial properties).” “Our hands are tied, and we don’t have any enforcement authority over them,” Sybert said, noting that Citigroup is operating under code and Ohio law. “We’ve been trying to get them to the table ... they have to be good corporate neighbors, but that only goes so far,” Sybert said. Trustee Robert Mann said the corporation “has received a lot of tax incentives and should give some cooperation.” The 2011 tax-incentive review documents from the township show the company receiving a 15year tax exemption on 72-percent of its proper-

ty value, estimated at $160 million. The exemption is on $144 million of the property’s value and saves the company about $2.5 million annually. The exemption began in 2006 and to date has provided a property tax savings of $5.8 million to the company. Sybert asked Anderson to approach the company again and if nothing is resolved to meet with the county prosecutor’s office and see what the options are. Trustees also: • Recognized Liberty High School junior Chris Choban for his Eagle Scout project at Havener and Liberty parks. Choban created and installed maps of the parks that show the parks’ amenities, including trails and their lengths. The project took about six months to complete, said Choban, a member of Troop 843. He measured the length of the trails, used aerial maps from the Internet to create the maps and paid for them with funds he earned from popcorn sales. “What an outstanding young man and what a great job. Thank you so much,” said trustee Mary Carducci. • Approved $299,675 in road improvements for 2011. Trustees approved participating in the Delaware County engineer’s joint bid process and approved an asphalt contract with Shelly and Sands Inc., Columbuse The contract includes paving 1.581 miles of road, including about a half mile on Cascade Drive, on Baypointe Drive and almost a mile on Bryton Drive. • Appointed resident Doug Riedel to the board of zoning appeals, after an executive session. • Agreed to seek bids for 1,500 tons of road salt.

Just thinking

A weather report, followed by a joke So this is how it’s going to be. Ohio is known for its mercurial weather, of course, to the point that even bringing it up seems stale, like re-telling that joke about the insomniac, but what we’ve seen here lately is freakish, even for Ohio. Speaking of Ohio, how is it that Indiana doesn’t get teased on the playground about its weather? If Ohio is changeable, doesn’t it stand to reason that Indiana would be, too? Not to mention Kentucky and Pennsylvania and Michigan and so on. Weather doesn’t come to a screeching halt at the state line, like a cartoon roadrunner. If it did, I’d expect a package from the Acme Weather Co. to show up, at which point the Ohio weather would change into something more comfortable, something suitable for, say, Muncie, Ind. But it doesn’t, because the weather in Muncie is almost exactly like the weather in Cincinnati, for all the people who insist on saying, “If you don’t like the weather in Ohio, wait a minute.” (I could hardly force myself to type that, I’m so tired of hearing it.) Frankly, I think people in Ohio and people in Indiana are all wearing pretty much the same clothes: rain ponchos, polypropylene triclimate thermal pants and something slimming in seersucker. But that’s a cartoon for another day. Today we’re examining what appears to be a gauntlet flung down on the local weather map: Take this, Ohio. “This,” of course, being unusually wet weather, unusually windy weather, unusually cold weather and even unusually frosty weather, followed by the day on which I speak, which offers unusually hot, muggy, humid weather. And when I say hot, I mean hot. Parking-lot asphalt had the shimmery look of mid-August as I hiked across it to the grocery store entrance. “It’s very warm,” I mentioned to the young woman who sold me my coffee, and she murmured in agreement, apparently reluctant to risk raising her body temperature by exerting herself to speak. At home, I opened several windows before settling in to the business of sitting very still, a trick I learned in second grade. In fact,

it may have been the only thing I learned in second grade: Take your seat and put your head down on your MARGO desk after runBARTLETT ning around on the playground after lunch. My teacher had us do this every warm day, and each time she issued her instructions, I doubted they’d do any good. I was too flushed, too short of breath and too sticky to recover without going home to take a bath. Ten minutes later — 10 quiet, motionless minutes later — the teacher would tell us to raise our heads, and darned if we all hadn’t regained, more or less, our resting heart rates and our usual complexions. The transformation caused me to look with real respect at my teacher, the unfortunately named Mrs. Piggot. How did she know that would work? It seemed magical then and it still did the other day, when I used the same technique to cool off during a meeting: Sit very very still. Don’t move even a tiny bit. And sure enough, after a few minutes — and perhaps a very brief nap — I was back to normal. The magical Mrs. Piggot! I bless you to this day. But my point is this: Why the need for cooling-off magic when it’s only the middle of May? Why

are citizens swooning in the streets from heat exhaustion when just last week they were huddled around electric heaters and still shivering? Didn’t we have snow squalls a few days ago? Weren’t we chipping away at windshield ice in April? Of course we were, and I’d be a fool not to brace myself for more of the same in the weeks to come. That is, I’m not swearing that it will snow before June, but neither am I swearing that it won’t. Because you see how it is. Last week we had winds and rain and destructive floods, and now we have the sort of heat that causes babies to fret and brides to faint in a heap of collapsing tulle. And who knows what lies in store for Memorial Day high school band musicians? They’ll either suffer in the blinding sun or nearly catch their deaths of cold. Or not. It may be a perfect Ohio day: mild, breezy and smelling of honeysuckle, even though as far as I know we don’t have honeysuckle around here. And why do I say this? Because the weather has issued her pronouncement: This is how it’s going to be. Now for the joke. Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac? He was up all night wondering if there really is a dog. You can reach Margo Bartlett at mbartlett@thisweeknews.com.

EMPLOYEE INSURANCE Continued from page A1 account (HSA) to pay for medical expenses until the deductible is reached. The deductible for single coverage is $2,500 and for all other coverage is $5,000. The employee contributes 10 percent of the cost of the deductible; the city puts in the rest. After the deductible is reached, coverage is 100 percent. The city has 43 employees. The annual cost for 2011 for health insurance to the city is $565,427, documents from the meeting show. That amount includes the insurance premium and the city’s contribution to the HSA account. It also provides life and dental insurance for employees, which cost $16,085 and $30,635 for 2011, respectively. The city has no vision plan. The city pays only the statemandated employer contribution to the public employee retirement

system. In 2011, that cost is estimated to be $219,485. Asked by committee members how the city could save money on health insurance, Gatch said the city could increase employee contribution to the HSA and/or to the premium cost and/or change the insurance coverage. “If you tell me that you want to only spend $563,000, then I find you insurance at that cost,” Gatch said. City manager Steve Lutz said the city controls the type of insurance it has. The only contractual obligation is that the employee will contribute 7 percent of the premium cost. The employee 10percent contribution to the deductible is not contractual, Lutz said. The city told employees that percentage would be for two years. Miller said the cost of a traditional low-deductible plan would have increased by about 18 per-

cent annually. In 2009, while still on a traditional plan, the city paid $503,959 for health insurance, documents from the meeting show. In 2010, the city spent $532,085 when most, but not all, of their employees were on the high-deductible plan. In 2011, the city will spend $565,427. All 2011 numbers are estimates until the year ends, the document says. Miller said the insurance broker is paid by the insurance companies and is included in the premium cost to the city. The city uses the brokerage service to assist in understanding the benefits, in dealing with the insurance company and to compare insurance products. The city does not have human resources employees to deal with these types of subjects which change each year and take a substantial amount of time, Miller said.

DeWine visits Hyatts with message: avoid alcohol By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hyatts Middle School seventh- and eighthgraders on May 11 received a visit from Ohio attorney general Mike DeWine. DeWine and representatives of the Century Council discussed the dangers of underage drinking and drunk driving. The council, a nonprofit organization funded by distillers, is dedicated to eliminating drunk driving and underage drinking and promoting responsible use of alcoholic beverages, documents from the presentation say. Century Council developed a computerized game that encourages students to be active while learning about making healthy choices regarding alcohol use. The game has a sensor pad on which a person stands to control the action projected on a large screen. The game is part of the council’s “Ask, Listen, Learn” program. Four Hyatts students demonstrated the game. An animated character ran down a road until it reached a question about issues related to underage drinking. Using the sensor pad, the students ran in place, which made the character do likewise. The pad was used to answer true or false questions, such as, “Alcohol can affect your judgment and can result in you making bad decisions.” The Century Council donated the game to the school for future use in health classes.

Hyatts eighth-grader Zach Hudson said the gaming system also included learning activities simulating archery, dancing and shopping. He and the other student representatives learned how to work all of them so that they can teach their classmates, he said. “It’s a good way to learn,” Hudson said. “It helps you stay active and teaches you the concepts.” Seventh-grader Brooke Roach said the activity is important because it teaches the problems that can be caused by underage drinking. “The game is really fun. I learned a lot from it,” Roach said. Eighth-grader Kristen Levering said, “It helps with having a healthy lifestyle and teaches what should be done in certain situations.” Seventh-grader Eli Koivisto said, “It showed me I have strength to say ‘no’to people who want to pressure me into doing a bad thing.” The exercise aspect of the game was good, he said.“It keeps your heart going and active while you learn,” he said. DeWine said he has long been in the fight against underage drinking and drunk driving. The Century Council plans to donate the By Chris Parker/ThisWeek game to all the middle schools in the central Ohio area. For more information, visit Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine takes a group picture with the students at Hyatts Middle School after the www.asklistenlearn.com. “Ask, Listen, Learn” presentation on May 11.

Braves girls team wins OCC title By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Olentangy High School girls lacrosse team didn’t get off to a good start when it played host to Olentangy Liberty on May 12. The Braves, looking to wrap up their first OCC-Ohio Division title, trailed 73 after 15 minutes. “I was freaking out,” senior Natalie Milliron said. “I said, ‘It’s time to get our heads back in this. We have to play our game.’” In the final 10 minutes of the first half, Olentangy scored six times to take a 97 lead. The Braves went on to win 16-12.

Olentangy finished 5-0 in league play, ahead of Liberty (2-2), Orange (2-2), Hilliard Davidson (2-3), Dublin Jerome (2-3) and Hilliard Bradley (1-4). Orange and Liberty were scheduled to play May 17. First-year coach Chelsea Huguenard said the victory provided good preparation for the Division II North-Central Region tournament. The Braves play host to Richfield Revere in the first round on Thursday, May 19. “To beat Orange and Liberty in the same year means a lot to these girls,” Huguenard said. “Now we can really get focused on the tournament now.” Olentangy beat Orange 12-9 on May 9. “We needed this,” said Milliron, who

scored five goals against Liberty. “We needed a win under our belts so we could go into the tournament strong. “Being OCC champions is the best feeling ever. I can’t ask for a better senior year.” Liberty coach Abby Stierman said the Braves’ handling of draws turned the game in their favor. “Not being able (to win draws) hurt us,” Stierman said. “They were able to pick it up and they’ve got good speed. They have a lot of seniors and that worked in their favor tonight.” “Dani Bullock (who handled draws) was a game changer for us,” Huguenard said. “She’s normally a sub off the bench,

but she played the entire night and played with a lot of heart.” •Man-down defense helped the Liberty boys lacrosse team defeat Olentangy 186 on May 13 and secure at least a share of its first OCC-Ohio championship since 2007. Liberty was called for 17 penalties in the second half to the Braves’ two, but allowed only four goals. “The guys stepped up and we’re looking pretty strong going into the playoffs,” Liberty coach Eric O’Brien said. The Braves scored the first two goals but then went into a 19-minute, 30-secSee LACROSSE, page B5

Pioneers fall to Grove City in district semi By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Olentangy Orange High School baseball team reached its first district semifinal but lost to host Grove City 16-8 on May 16 in the Division I tournament. The Pioneers fell behind 6-0 after one inning and trailed 8-0 after two before cutting their deficit to 10-8 after five innings. They finished 18-9 overall. “I’m very, very proud of how hard we fought,” coach Phil Callaghan said. “We’ve had two wins in the bottom of the seventh this year, so this team does have a lot of fight, but you have to give

Grove City credit. They hit for seven innings. They just hit the ball all over the place.” Bill McCague led Orange with a two-run home run in the fourth, three runs and three RBI. Joe Haskins had two doubles with two RBI and Jared Leet singled twice and drove in one. The Pioneers played in a strong OCC-Capital Division, which had five of its eight teams reach district semifinals. In addition to Orange, league champion New Albany and Watkins Memorial in By Tim Norman/ThisWeek Division I and Big Walnut and Hilliard Bradley in Division II ad- Orange’s Luke Wolford makes a leaping throw to first base to complete a double play after forcing

Olentangy High School softball coach Marty Mearhoff would like to see his team take early leads. But after the sixth-seeded Braves rallied from a three-run deficit to beat fifth-seeded Hartley 8-7 in eight innings in a Division I district semifinal on May 16, Mearhoff acknowledged that Olentangy’s experience of coming from behind to win might have helped against the Hawks. “There was no panic in our dugout when Hartley took a 52 lead in the first inning because our team has been in this situation before and we’ve come back to win these types of games four or five other times this season,” Mearhoff said. “We’ve also won our share of one-run games this year, so there was no choke factor late in the game when things got close. The girls just went out and made plays like they have all year.” The Braves scored two runs in the top of the first inning when Lindsey Stanley drove in Hailey Wilson and Amanda Wojta with a double. But Olentangy had to battle back after giving up five runs in the bottom of the first. In the top of the third, Haleigh Breuer drove in Stanley with a sacrifice fly and Biz Brehm followed with a solo home run to cut Olentangy’s deficit to 5-4. “I was very surprised when I hit a home run, because it was my first of the season,” Brehm said. “We started slow, but our bats woke up later in the game.” In the top of the seventh, Stanley reached first base on a fielder’s choice, moved to third on a throwing error and scored on a wild pitch. Lindsey Michel drove in Brehm with a single and the Braves scored a third run on a Hartley throwing error to go ahead 7-5, before the Hawks scored twice in the bottom of the inning. Wilson led off the top of the eighth with a double and scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly by Stanley. “I was just trying to put the ball into play, and I was fortunate to drive it deep enough into center field to score a run,” Stanley said. “We’ve come back to win other games, so we knew we could do it again.” Olentangy played secondseeded Lakewood in a district final on May 18. The winner will play Bellevue, Lexington, Sandusky Perkins or Shelby in a regional semifinal May 26 at Bucyrus. Last year, the Braves lost to second-seeded Lakewood 10-0 in five innings in a district semifinal. “The key for us to keep winning in the tournament is to play solid defense,” Mearhoff said. “We just have to make routine

Orange graduate Horton signs deal with Crew From staff reports Aaron Horton, a 2010 Olentangy Orange High School graduate, has signed a multi-year deal with the Columbus Crew. “I’m ecstatic. It’s a dream come true to sign with the club I grew up following and rooting for,” Horton said in a press release on the team’s website. “I’ve been going to games at Crew Stadium since I was a kid then played in the club’s youth development program and (former Crew player) Brian Maisonneuve was my coach in (U.S. National Team U17) residency. Jeff Cunningham was my favorite player when I was a kid and to be his teammate now blows my mind.” Horton, 19, was a freshman last season at the University of Louisville, where he played in 23 games, scored three goals and added two assists. Horton scored the winning goals in a 5-4 win over UCLA in a Dec. 4 NCAA tournament quarterfinal and a 2-1 win over North Carolina in a Dec. 10 semifinal. Louisville lost to Akron in the College Cup final 1-0. In the championship game, Horton had a potential equalizer blocked by Chad Barson, a 2009 Olentangy

graduate and sophomore defender at Akron. Horton (5-foot-9, 165 pounds) is known as a “Home Grown Player” and is the first one to be signed by the Crew. According to the team, “a club may sign a player to his first professional contract without subjecting him to the MLS SuperDraft if the player has trained for at least one year in the club’s youth development program and has met league criteria.” In 2009, Horton was named to ThisWeek’s Super 12 team. He scored 26 goals and had eight assists and was named first-team all-state and first-team all-district, and Player of the Year in the OCC-Cardinal Division. “We are excited to welcome Aaron to our first team,” Crew coach Robert Warzycha said in the release. “He is a very promising young player who holds the ball well and has the speed to get behind defenses. He is a competitor and we look forward to accelerating his development in a professional environment.” Horton becomes the fifth local product to sign with the Crew, joining Eric Brunner (Dublin Scioto), Chris Leitch (Pickerington), Danny O’Rourke (Worthington Kilbourne) and Brandon Ward (Westerville South).

BASEBALL Continued from page B1 vanced to district semifinals. The eighth-seeded Pioneers had a first-round bye and beat visiting Hilliard Darby 7-0 in the second round on May 11. “Everyone had a hit against Darby and we spread the offense out pretty well,” Callaghan said. “It was an extremely well-played game by our entire team.” Orange also beat Franklin Heights 11-0 in five innings on May 10 and lost to Delaware 93 on May 14 to finish 9-5 in the league. The Pioneers played a non-league game with DeSales on May 13 and won 12-4. •Top-seeded Olentangy played Bradley on May 17 in a Division II district semifinal with the winner playing second-seeded Jonathan Alder or Bexley in a district semifinal May 19 at Grove City. The Braves were 22-4 before playing Bradley and were ranked sixth in the final state poll. Jonathan Alder was ranked fourth in the state and was 19-3 after beating Lakewood 9-0 in a second-round game May 12. Olentangy and Jonathan Alder have not played this season. Bexley was 13-14 after defeating Licking Heights 4-2 in the second round May 12. The Braves beat the Lions 5-3 on April 9. The district winner plays in a regional semifinal at 5 p.m. May 26 at the University of Dayton against Springfield Kenton Ridge, Lewistown Indian Lake, Cincinnati McNicholas or New Richmond. On May 12, the Braves beat London 9-2 in the second round after having a bye in the opening round. Joe Allocco had two singles and four RBI and Sean

Leonard had two singles and drove in one. Tyler McFarland had a triple and an RBI and Ryan Berkery had a double, two walks and one RBI. Chad Nugen had a double and drove in one and both Woody Wallace and Ryan Dubil doubled. On May 10, Olentangy beat Westerville North 2-0 to finish OCC-Cardinal play in first place at 12-2, ahead of runner-up Westerville Central (10-4). •Liberty finished 8-16 overall and 5-9 in the OCC-Cardinal after beating Westerville South twice on May 11. The Patriots won 4-3 in 10 innings in the completion of a game suspended by darkness on May 6. Then they beat the Wildcats 12-5 in the second game. In the opening round of Division I district tournament play, Liberty lost to host Darby 7-5. Trailing 7-2 in the seventh, the Patriots scored three times and loaded the bases with one out. Tyler Welch lined into a double play to end the game. “That’s been the story of our whole season,” said coach Matt Lattig, who finished his eighth year leading the program. “We’ve been oh so close all year.” Michael Fries and Dylan Yankle both had two singles with an RBI. Louis Firmstone had a tworun single and Zach Glaze added an RBI. The Patriots had five seniors in Zach Beard (OF/LHP), Fries (1B/RHP), Sean Pugh (OF/LHP), Jim Waterwash (INF) and Yankle (C). Fries, who will play at Butler University in Indianapolis, led the team in batting average (.351) and RBI (15) and had a 2.36 ERA. Yankle, who signed to play at Lake Erie College, a Division II school in Painesville, hit .338.

Waterwash batted .337 with 18 runs and Beard hit .333 with a team-high two home runs with 19 runs and 13 RBI. Pugh was 2-2 on the mound. “Obviously, the season was less than (the seniors) had hoped, but they worked hard to keep the tradition going,” Lattig said. “They never stopped fighting and were able to persevere, and we were a much better team at the end of the year.” Liberty had won the previous two OCC-Cardinal titles, but Olentangy won the championship this season at 12-2. Westerville Central was second at 10-4, followed by Marysville (7-6), Dublin Scioto (7-7), Dublin Jerome (6-8), Westerville North (5-8), the Patriots and Westerville South (3-11). Marysville and North will not make up their final league game. Juniors expected back are Paul Campbell (DH), Joey Ciolek (RHP), Glaze (INF/RHP; 14 RBI), Davis Martin (1B/RHP; 1.73 ERA), Jacob Meegan (INF), Brandon Parr (LHP), Kris Popham (1B/LHP), John Ressler (OF), Ben Scandling (C/INF/OF),Alex Trivisonno (RHP/OF), James Trucco (INF) and Christian Watson (LHP). Sophomores expected to return are Josh Akerman (OF) Kyle Dezse (OF/LHP), Firmstone (OF), Max Gunn (INF), Alec Snider (INF) and Welch (INF). “In the early part of the year, we couldn’t get things to go our way, but the kids played and competed with tremendous heart,” Lattig said. “They put in the hard work and if that continues in the offseason, we’ll be that much better next year.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Boys Tennis

Liberty doubles team advances to district By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Alexander Hathaway and Mitchell Lothes of the Olentangy Liberty High School boys tennis team believe they have the potential to place in the top four of the Division I district tournament on Friday and Saturday, May 20-21, at Hilliard Davidson to qualify for state. But in order to reach state May 27-28 at Davidson, Lothes said they must execute their game plan to near perfection in every match. â€œXanderâ€™s always been a singles player, and heâ€™s really good at hitting from the baseline and playing crosscourt points,â€? Lothes said. â€œIâ€™m 6-foot-4 with a 6-6 wing span and long strides, and I try to take over the net as much as possible. Thereâ€™s never a point when Iâ€™m not moving and trying to disrupt things and finish shots at the net, and Xanderâ€™s always there backing me up when I canâ€™t get to the ball. Itâ€™s an unconventional style of doubles, but weâ€™ve had a lot of success with it, and we both need to fulfill our roles in order to give ourselves a chance of qualifying for state.â€? In 2009, the doubles team of Lothes and 2009 graduate Alex Solove went 2-2 and placed fourth at district. But last year, Hathaway and Lothes opened with a 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 loss to Hilliard Davidsonâ€™s Ben McClarren and Trent Searfoss. â€œCentral Ohio doubles has been dominant at the state the last three years, and if we can finish in the top four at district, I think we can finish in at least the top eight at state because the teams from other areas donâ€™t produce doubles teams the way we do,â€? Lothes said. Hathaway and Lothes went 3-1 and placed second in the sectional on May 12 and 14 at Pickerington Central, beating Thomas Worthingtonâ€™s Mark Evans and Harrison Chang 7-6, 6-4 in a semifinal. â€œWe were down 3-0 in the first set before we made some adjustments,â€? Lothes said. â€œTheyâ€™re well-bred singles players who

But Hathaway and Lothes lost to Pickerington Centralâ€™s Chase Thomas and Dallas Stang 6-4, 6-3 in the final. â€œWe had that big, emotional semifinal win and then we just went through the motions against Pickerington Central,â€? Lothes said. â€œThey had a slow pace and mediocre hitting, and we played down to their level. It was a poor showing for us. We need to play with more spirit at state.â€? â€˘After Orange was shut out of the Division I district tournament last year, three Pioneers placed fourth in the sectional at Upper Arlington to advance to district. Doug Ganim went 3-2 in singles, losing to Upper Arlingtonâ€™s Brandon Griffin 6-1, 6-3 in a semifinal and losing to UAâ€™s Jeff Melvin 6-4, 6-4 in a consolation final.

They arenâ€™t used to playing that many matches in a row against that kind of competition. â€œThe problem with being a No. 4 seed at district is you have to play a No. 1 from another district. Weâ€™re going into Friday with high hopes, but we know itâ€™s going to be a tough challenge. I guess thatâ€™s why you play the matches, because you just never know.â€? ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Braves used strong performances in the field events to place second (116) behind Dublin Scioto (150) and ahead of Westerville North (78), Westerville South (75.33), Olentangy Liberty (73), Westerville Central (65.33), Dublin Jerome (56) and Marysville (48.33).

Hours later, Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship cleared 16-10 to not only win the OCC-Ohio title, but also break the overall OCC record and the state record of 16-9 set by Liberty’s Chris Uhle at the state meet last year. “Jake has been vaulting great this season,” said Joey Uhle, who finished ahead of twin brother Chris (16-0) at the OCC-Cardinal meet. “He’s been great motivation this whole season to set the bar high.”

Although it has been two years since he attended school there, Olentangy Orange High School senior sprinter Ross Watkins has a difficult time thinking of New Albany as his competition. In the OCC-Capital Division meet at Hilliard Davidson on May 12 and 14, Watkins placed first in the 100 meters in 11.09 seconds, finishing ahead of Watkins Memorial’s Devonte Marable (11.28) and New Albany’s Daniel Emery (11.29). “We haven’t had a chance to compete against (New Albany) this season,” said Watkins, who also placed third in the 200 (23.02) behind Watkins Memorial’s Connor Sensabaugh (22.65) and Hilliard Bradley’s Terell Stanford (22.86). “But when we do, it’s pretty fun. It’s my old team, but I still see them as brothers.” Watkins had the only firstplace league finish for the Pioneers, who were fifth (60 points) behind Watkins Memorial (156), New Albany (155), Big Walnut (103) and Bradley (82) and ahead of Franklin Heights (41), Mount Vernon (36) and Delaware (27). The girls team finished seventh (59) behind Watkins Memorial (152.5), Big Walnut (119), New Albany (86), Bradley (85), Mount Vernon (64) and Franklin Heights (63.5) and ahead of Delaware (27). Katelyn Daniels was first in the discus (120 feet, 5 inches) and shot put (38-5 3/4). Watkins, who transferred to Orange before his junior year, has at least one more chance to compete against his former teammates. The boys team is competing with OCC-Capital foes Delaware, Franklin Heights and New Albany in the 16-team Division I, district 1 meet that concludes Saturday, May 21, at Bradley. The girls are the only OCC-Capital team in Division I, district 3. The top four finishers in each event at all the district meets advance to the regional meet Wednesday, May 25, and May 27 at Pickerington North. “Even though New Albany’s my old school, I still have a good relationship with those guys,” Watkins said. “(New Albany’s Alex Cook) and I competed together all the way through middle school and high school. We’re always talking and joking around all the time.” •Olentangy’s Whitney Bice, who won the pole vault in the OCC-Cardinal meet May 12 at Pickerington North by clearing 10 feet, believes better performances are ahead. “At the beginning of the year I started out doing really well,” said Bice, who cleared a personal-best 11-1 in the Red Ed-

the whole season. “I only used a five-step vault to clear 16-6. I need to get back to a normal running pattern and pop out some 17-foot jumps by the state meet.” Chris Uhle might have lost his state record in the pole vault, but he gained a league record in the 800. The Virginia Tech signee won the 800 in 1:55.15, .35 of a second faster than the previous best time of 1:55.5 set in 2002 by Reynoldsburg’s Chris Speich. pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

LACROSSE Continued from page B1 ond drought. Olentangy coach Mike Kinney said his team has struggled in man-advantage situations all season. “We have a lot of young players out there offensively and we’re trying to move the ball quicker and see the field better,” Kinney said. “But they were very aggressive on defense and that presented a challenge to us.” Pat Melick scored six goals and Jimmy Ruska added five for the Patriots. “I had a really good first half and then fizzled in the second half,” Melick said. “Being in a man-down situation kind of slowed us down. We weren’t able to do anything. You get frustrated if you don’t get a possession here and there, but you just have to play through it.” •The Liberty, Olentangy and Orange boys teams are gearing up for the postseason. Liberty was seeded third in the Division I Central Region tournament and will play host to Thomas Worthington or St. Charles in the first round on Saturday, May 21. The Patriots defeated St. Charles 20-7 on May 10 but haven’t faced Thomas this season. The winner plays Worthington Kilbourne, Westerville South or Gahanna in the second round Wednesday, May 25. Liberty defeated Gahanna 2210 on April 13 and lost to Kilbourne 12-8 on April 1. It has not played South. “This is huge,” O’Brien said. “This is our first (league) title since 2007 and I know the boys are pumped. We couldn’t have a better lead-in to the playoffs.” Olentangy and Orange could be on a collision course. The Pioneers played host to Dublin Scioto in the play-in round of the Division II Central Region tournament on May 18. The winner visits DeSales in the first round on Friday, May 20, with the winner advancing to play New Albany, Olentangy or Bexley in the second round on May 25. Orange hasn’t played Scioto or DeSales but lost to the Braves 13-6 on April 15, Bexley 14-9 on April 29 and New Albany 116 on April 30. The Braves will play Bexley

The Pioneers scored four runs in the bottom of the first to take a 4-3 lead, but had only four hits overall. “Their pitcher (Lauren Arndt) did a great job,” coach Bruce Leary said. “They have a very athletic infield and we hit a lot of groundballs to them.” Orange made seven errors and gave up 13 hits. “They hit the ball well and we didn’t play good defense,” Leary said. “The better team won.” •Liberty opened the Division I district tournament on May 10 with a 2-1 victory over Dublin Coffman.

is $36 million. The project will extend Sawmill Parkway north from Hyatts Road to U.S. Route 42. Construction could begin as early as 2013 and is funded through county road and bridge revenues. • Approved a $232,221 preliminary engineering contract for the Lewis Center and Africa roads intersection project. The project will add a traffic signal to the intersection and left turn lanes from every approach and right turn lanes on two of the approaches. Preliminary cost for construction is $1.6-million. Work would start between 2014 and 2015. The county could seek funding through the Ohio Public Works Commission. • Approved a $92,150 contract for the replacement of two bridges on David Road, east of River Road. Construction will be in 2014 and will take about three months to complete. County road and bridge funds will pay for the project. • Approved a $36,874 contract with Quickmow for roadside mowing to supplement mowing performed by county crews.

speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, and another non-voting member is appointed by the president of the Ohio Senate. Counties normally provide more funding because they have larger budgets, Schuermann said. No one is required to contribute, and entities don’t have to fund all projects at the same level. Funding strategies vary according to each TID. Individual projects could be funded one at a time, or a revenue pool could fund a program of projects. Commissioner Ken O’Brien said he chose not to attend the presentation. He said he’s interested in whether the TID could be a solution for the county but wants to make sure that the area could financially sustain a TID. He said the county’s attorneys should take the lead on the project and recommend attorneys to speak with. He questioned why attorneys with Kegler, Brown, Hill and Ritter were chosen for the presentation. “If we are not paying for the attorney, why is it that they’re coming?” he questioned. “What is it that’s in it for them?” Stapleton told ThisWeek that he chose the law firm because it had worked with Butler and Clermont counties. The state authorized transportation improvement districts in 1993. County engineer Chris Bauserman said the county needs to determine if other public entities would be interested in collaborating and if enough multi-jurisdictional projects exist to justify a TID. “I like the idea of agencies being able to pool their funds and hopefully being able to attract more federal and state funds to Delaware County,” Bauserman said. He said he would be concerned about creating another level of government if potential benefits don’t justify it. Commissioners also: • Approved five right-of-way acquisitions totaling $28,552 for the Sawmill Parkway extension project. The county has acquired about half of the needed right of way. The total estimated right of way cost is $4.6 million, and the total estimated construction cost

Delaware County commissioners have begun examining whether the county should form a transportation improvement district, an umbrella organization that would handle transportation projects across jurisdictional lines. Commissioners at their May 9 work session heard a presentation from attorneys Steve Tugend and Rusty Schuermann, members of the law firm Kegler, Brown, Hill and Ritter, which provides counsel to TIDs in Clermont, Butler, Warren, Hamilton and Belmont counties. Commissioner Dennis Stapleton initiated the meeting. He told ThisWeek that he knows Tugend and Dennis had spoken Stapleton with a Clermont County commissioner at a County Commissioners Association of Ohio board meeting. “My purpose for the whole discussion was to learn more from my end along with the other commissioners about the viability of a TID being an economic tool,” he said. At the meeting, commissioner Tommy Thompson said cooperation among the different county jurisdictions is Tommy better now Thompson than it was five or 10 years ago. “I think it’s going to happen,” he said of the prospect of TID implementation. Stapleton told ThisWeek he’s made no judgments about whether it would be a good idea for the county. “This is just an introduction and nothing more. I am sure many more discussions would need to take place before we would proceed,” Stapleton said. Commissioners would have to pass a resolution to begin a TID and then appoint board members

to oversee it. Though membership varies, Tugend told ThisWeek that members can be county commissioners, engineers and administrators; township administrators and trustees; and city representatives. “This allows for a county to bring in various contributors and to leverage their combined contributions to bring in as many resources as possible to fund transportation projects,” Tugend said. A TID would group transportation projects together in the same area, across jurisdictional boundaries. The TID board cannot act independently and finance road improvements alone, however. It must have approval from federal, state, county and local entities, said Nancy Burton, communications manager for the Ohio Department of Transportation District 6. Tugend said that a TID’s unified approach would prevent ODOT from having to choose between competing projects in the same county or jurisdiction. Because of the group approach, the TID would also have a larger funding base and be able to provide a bigger local match for projects to get a larger amount of ODOT funding. While Butler County, the first county to implement a TID, chose a larger board, most TIDs opt to use a smaller system, Schuermann said. The bigger board includes two members appointed by county commissioners; three members appointed by the most populous municipal corporation in the TID area; two members appointed by the second-most populous municipal corporation; two members appointed by the most populous township; and the county engineer. There is also an option to appoint a member from a township or municipality in the district who isn’t a member of one of the other groups. One nonvoting member is appointed by the regional planning commission. All state senators and representatives could be non-voting members. The smaller board includes five members appointed by the county commissioners. One non-voting member is appointed by the

Orange Twp. July 4 parade will return By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After last year’s Orange Township Fourth of July parade was canceled because of East Orange Road construction, this year’s parade is set to begin at 10 a.m. July 4 at Glen Oak Elementary School, township trustees said at their May 16 meeting. The parade route will go south on Blue Holly Road to East Orange Road and then east to South Old State Road. From there, the parade, which is sponsored by the Orange Township Business Association, will go south to the Little Bear development. The parade should be completed by noon. Last year, work on Orange Road caused officials to cancel the parade because part of the road was closed. That project is expected to be completed later this spring.

Trustees also approved spending up to $700 to hire special-duty deputies from the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office to handle traffic and other enforcement matters related to the parade. Road closures for the parade will begin at 8:30 a.m. A four-mile fun run, beginning and ending at Little Bear, will go along the parade route. That run will start at 9 a.m. In another matter, trustees passed a memorandum of understanding for a partnership with the Columbus and Franklin County Metropolitan Parks to share costs of connecting township trails into Highbanks Metropolitan Park. “This really addresses the essence of working together,” Scott Overturf, who oversees township construction projects, told trustees. “We’re investing $220,000 into this. They’re investing $100,000 into this.” One connecting trail will go from

Owenfield Drive, south along U.S. Route 23., and connect at the park’s main entrance. A second trail will begin at Owenfield and run west on the south side of Powell Road, where it will connect into the park near Green Meadows Drive. A third trail phase is planned to connect farther west into the park off Powell Road. Overturf told trustees that parks officials expect to act on the memorandum later this month. “With the help of (Columbus) Metro Parks, we’ll get phase I and phase II done by November of this year,” Overturf said. In a related matter, trustees approved a resolution to move forward with the process for a planned pedestrian bridge over U.S. 23 that would link existing and future trailways on both sides of the highway. An environmental site assessment, survey work and other preliminary work must be done as part of the

process to receive a $1 million federal grant to help fund the bridge. The grant would be funnelled through the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission. Orange Township would have to come up with between $200,000 and $300,000 in matching funds for the project, Overturf said after the meeting. If everything moves smoothly, the project will take about two years to complete. Also at the meeting: • Trustees Rob Quigley, Jennifer Christian and Nelson Katz decided they needed more time to study the township’s tree policy before deciding whether to make any changes. Representatives of the Wilshire Home Owners Association approached trustees May 4, seeking permission to replace some trees in the right of way at the Wilshire Boulevard subdivision entrance. The current policy, approved by a dif-

ferent board of trustees in 2006, does not allow planting of trees in the right of way between the sidewalk and curb. Katz said he had checked into some of the issues and found some pros and cons for allowing trees in the right of way. For example, a tree-lined street provides shade and can foster a sense of community, he said. However, roots can infiltrate and damage storm-water drainage systems. Low-hanging branches can damage vehicles, such as snowplows. “I am still gathering information myself (and) still in the process of forming my decision,” Quigley said. Christian and Katz agreed they do not need to rush into any decisions. • Trustees changed the date of the next regular meeting to 7 p.m. on June 1. The meeting had been scheduled for June 6, but Quigley will be out of town that week.

Community events Lolli-Pops! kick off June 13 Powell’s Lolli-Pops! Kids Concert Series will begin on Monday, June 13, with Annie Hawe and the Annie Jam Band. Other shows are

Visitors at Sunbury’s Civil War re-enactment this year will get to eat like a soldier and shop at a bazaar at the event’s first sanitary fair. The fair will replicate fundraisers which supported Civil War soldiers’ health and their families. It is a new event planned for the re-enactment, set for May 2022 on Sunbury’s village square. The Gen. Rosecrans’Department of the Ohio Headquarters, part of the Big Walnut Area Historical Society, located in the Myers Inn, 45 S. Columbus St., Sunbury, will put on the event. Myers Inn Museum curator Polly Horn said more than 100 people will serve as re-enactors. Two battles are planned for Saturday and Sunday, though other impromptu ones could also break out.

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio

“Wanted a woman/Never bargained for you.” — Led Zeppelin, Dazed and Confused

By Jim Fischer

jfischer@thisweeknews.com By Request,” the 1 “CJO Columbus Jazz Orchestra’s season-ending concerts May 20-21 at the Southern Theatre, are less a “stump the band” concept than a “greatest hits.” Oh, sure, the program was selected by fans, but will not include every suggestion taken through the CJO’s website. Communications director Scott Vezdos told The Beat they’d received suggestions for tunes by AC/DC, KISS and Jimmy Buffet, among many others. Think more Georgia on My Mind, Ain’t Misbehavin’, What a Wonderful World, A Night in Tunisia, When the Saints Go Marching In — and the like. Guest vocalist Maria Jacobs joins in the fun.

never bargained for Lez Zeppelin, the all-female quartet that pays tribute to the famed rock n’ rollers without being a “tribute band.” Founder and guitarist Steph Paynes told The Beat Lez Zep started with a simple principle: “I set out to do this in a naïve way because I love this music and it became my fantasy to get to play it,” she recalled. “If a tribute band sets out to create the illusion that what you’re seeing is the real thing — that’s never what we wanted to do.” “I had gotten remastered Led Zeppelin records as a gift,” she explained. “I had always enjoyed them but never really dug that deep. It blew my mind in a new way — it sounded better than anything else. I was between gigs and, well, I’d had an all-girl band in the early ’90s, so I thought it would be more novel to try and play this music this way. Paynes admitted that at first, she hoped the novelty of the approach would garner the new band a couple of gigs. She soon discovered the endeavor would have one distinct disadvantage, coupled with one distinct advantage. “People had never seen women play like this,” she said, “and this music was always considered such a ‘male’ expression. Once we embarked on this, we knew we had to play in the right way and that because we were women, we had to do a superb job.” The best way to do that, she decided, was not to attempt to

Lez Zeppelin will play the Friday, May 20, pre-festival fifth anniversary Party at Rock on the Range at Crew Stadium. For ticket information, call 1-800-745-3000. The festival will be held at Crew Stadium Saturday and Sunday, May 21-22. For a full schedule and ticket information, visit www.rockontherange.com.

replicate the songs note-for-note, but to “bring the full Led Zeppelin live experience to people. They were four guys playing together intensely, but in the moment, with improvs and extended jams. That’s what we do.” She said there was no triedand-true method for finding the right bandmates; she auditioned plenty of great players who just weren’t right. Ultimately, she said, a combination of being good, being stylistically appropriate and being willing, in some combination, was the formula. (The current lineup — and players have come and gone in the years since Paynes first formed Lez Zep — includes bassist Megan Thomas, drummer Leesa Harrington-Squyres and singer Shannon Conley.) The advantage to her all-girl approach was unexpected. Led Zeppelin’s look — long hair, tight pants, billowy shirts and accent scarves and necklaces — worked pretty well for a bunch of girls. “Led Zeppelin was doing

male posturing dressed as women,” Paynes said. “There’s a certain alchemy of male and female energy that works for us. It really churns things up, to have that gender, that sexual dynamic.” Ultimately, Paynes said Lez Zeppelin adheres to its original “noble cause,” which is to just keep playing this music. She said their shows find everyone from teenagers who’ve recently discovered the original article to women (who many thought had no interest in Led Zep’s music) to older fans who “tell us they saw Led Zeppelin seven times or whatever and tell us ‘You’re doing it right.’ “That means we’re on the right track.” “Hey, hey mama/Said the way you move/ Gonna make you sweat/Gonna make you groove” — Led Zeppelin, Black Dog ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Steph Paynes of Lez Zeppelin, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.

Fortune Chinese Restaurant offers lengthy menu “Hot Pepper Frog, Homestyle Made Frog, or Frog Stir-Fried with Pickle Chili?” asked my sister, flashing an oftpracticed devilish grin. We were plotting our order from the provocative, lengthy and new menu in Fortune Chinese Restaurant. Recently implemented by the place’s new owners, that voluminous food list includes many intriguing looking dishes which appear to substantiate the menu’s claim of “The Best Selection of Authentic Szechuan Style Food.” As we expressed hope that Fortune’s execution of Szechuan dishes would match its self-heralded “selection,” we also commented on how drastically the once-Cantonese-centric cuisine there had changed. Too bad we couldn’t say the same about Fortune’s drab decor. Because although Fortune has received a muchneeded housecleaning, sprucing up and coat of paint (albeit in a pale, wan yellow), it still has a dingy dropped ceiling, industrial carpet, goofy 3D-type

MENU by G.A. Benton “art” and dull brown, occasionally ripped Naugahyde booths. So how was the food? In general, I found it to be salty, saucy, aggressive and oily. Since that also describes me, we got along famously. In fact, slurping up Fortune’s inexpensive but explosively flavored grub was so much fun I didn’t much mind that the Tsingtao beer bottle on my table was the place’s best claim to ambience. As for ordering strategies, except for the chef’s specials, we took the menu’s implicit suggestion and stuck with any section mentioning Szechuan in its header (there are four). While there was some sameness to the seasoning among these brazen entrees — expect generous glugs of chili oil, fresh jalapeno, garlic and ginger

taste: Fish with Rice Crust ($14): This massive (serves two or three) and mighty flavor onslaught was served with a little razzle-dazzle and is highly recommended. Thin and crispy rice cakes gave off an audible sizzle on the plate (think “snap crackle pop”) when doused with an enormous bowl of impressively tender battered whitefish planks and a cornucopia of veggies (starring Chinese broccoli) swimming in a sea of wild and thick, salty, sweet and spicy sauce. Ma Po Bean Curd ($9): Silken tofu cubes swamped in chili oil and spiked with fermented black beans were liberally sprinkled with lip-tingling ground Szechuan peppercorns. Really fun and By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek almost druggy in its sting and oral Lamb with cumin and chili peppers at numbing effects. Diced Chicken Stir Fried with Fortune Chinese Restaurant. Pickle Turnip ($8): I enjoyed this bold, and an occasionally to-the-brink sweet- cheap and comparatively ungreasy dish ness — I wouldn’t say any two dishes so much that it’s become my new gowere completely identical. Here’s a to to-go Chinese dinner. Diced poultry

coated in red chili paste was further seasoned with garlic, jalapeno and lively chunks of semi-funky and pleasantly sour veggie pickles. A hot and tangy must. Lamb with Chili Pepper and Cumin ($8): The delightfully tender meat was flavorful enough to stand up to its soy sauce, onion and jalapeno-fueled spicy and salty treatment. Pretty terrific. Hot Pepper Frog ($11): A rare sauce-free Fortune preparation, this was battered and fried bundles of froggy, tossed with leafy celery tops, jalapeno, scallion and a volatile arsenal of firecracker-like fried red chili peppers. I liked it, but there were a lot of tiny, hidden bones in those battered bites. Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry ($8): Like a pleasantly bitter sauteed salad of slivered carrots and green veggies dressed in soy sauce and cooking oil, this functions well as a palate-refreshing side to the rich, spicy and more complex flavors of many dishes here.

Revamped Westerville pizzeria now offers baked pies In perfect conditions, customers have only a short wait for a freshly baked pie at Runaway Pasta & Pizza in Westerville. With his handy Hhc 2020 TurboChef oven, Peter Tanski can bake a pizza in 2.5 minutes. Put another way, that’s 150 seconds. “This is the next-generation way to cook a pizza,” he said. Certainly, longer lines mean a longer wait for patrons, but Tanski’s lovin’ his oven. It doesn’t require an expensive ventilation system and runs off of electricity. It uses a convection-and-impingement process, meaning it simul-

taneously sucks in and pushes out air, while a catalytic converter cleans the exhaust. The conveyor unit is capable of cooking 60 pizzas in one hour. Runaway takes over Tanksi’s former Mama Mimi’s franchise at 925 N. State St., just east of Meijer. Runaway’s fresh-tossed dough uses flour that is free of bromate, a conditioner that strengthens the dough and allows for higher rising. Tanski prefers

the old-fashioned method. He has three crusts: a regular style seasoned with oregano and garlic, plain wheat and a gluten-free product not made on premises. The reason being, he said, is the risk for cross-contamination. Pizzas are 12 or 16 inches and crusts are either thin or medium-thick. He has a full complement of designer pizza options, such as the barbecue pulled pork and spinach and artichoke dip, as well as a build-your-own section. The big sellers right now are the deluxe and Margherita options. He acknowledges prices are about $1 or $2 more than chain pizzas. The difference is in the ingredients, he said. For example, Tanski also uses Stanislaus tomato products, which are made from fresh tomatoes, not concentrate. He mixes the seasonings in-house for his own distinctive flavor. “It’s not something that’s going to be duplicated anywhere,” he said. In addition, he uses 100 percent cheese, a mozzarella-provolone blend, and locally made Ezzo Sausage Co. pepperoni. He prepares pizzas to By Chris Parker/ThisWeek order and begins the cooking process when customers As one pizza comes out of the oven, Peter Tanski works on another in his shop, Runarrive. Even during busier away Pasta & Pizza, 925 N. State St. in Westerville.

able alk

times, he sees that has an efficient method, as customers generally wait no longer than 10 minutes for their order. Still, purchasing another oven could be necessary once business improves, he said. The menu also includes a slate of salads, baked pasta, take-and-bake casseroles, chicken wings and a few desserts, including fresh-baked cookies. Sandwiches could be offered in the future, he said. “Doing things people are familiar with but in your own way is the way to succeed, I think,” he said. Tanski is looking into adding some seating in the 1,453-square-foot space, which does not provide a dine-in experience. Runaway is open lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614-523-3000. The latest Ohio-made vodka has a Columbus connection. Karl Schneider of Upper Arlington is among a group of investors behind Buckeye Vodka, which is produced in Dayton. The premium, small-batch vodka uses distilled water from a direct source — Crystal Water Co. — and is distilled 10 times for an unmistakably smooth, clean and pure flavor, spokeswoman Michele Mooney said. It is available at several local stores, including many local Giant Eagle and Kroger stores, High Street Beverage and Huffman’s Market.

Lori Hodak Joins Prudentail Metrix, Realtors Prudential Metrix, Realtors welcomes Lori Hodak to our dynamic sales force. With 16 years as a real estate professional, she is passionate about her career. She says she “loves what she does” – and the proven results certainly back up her statement. Lori is a Relocation Specialist who enjoys working with a broad spectrum of clientele. Whether a first time buyer, looking to build a new home, moving up,or downsizing, she can make the process smooth and enjoyable. Lori is a graduate of the Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism. In her free time, she enjoys running, boxing, and weight training. She also loves to spend time with her husband Nick, and two children Taylor and Avery.

Tics in children are quite common Tics are sudden, involuntary, repetitive movements (motor tics) or sounds (vocal tics). The most common motor tics are frequent eye blinking, nose twitching and head shaking. Common vocal tics include humming, grunting or saying actual words. Some of these tics are complex and include large parts of the body (kicking, stamping). About 3 million to 6 million Americans experience tics regularly. Tics are more common in children, where one in four has a tic during the school years. Tics are five times more common in boys than in girls. Nine out of 10 children who have tics, however, will experience significant improvements in the symptoms by they time they reach adulthood. Tics are the most frequent symptom of Tourette syndrome, though it isn’t the only symptom. For a patient to be diagnosed as having TS, he or she has to have motor and vocal tics for at least one year. Impulsivity, attention deficit disorder, at-

tention deficit hyperactivity disorder and o b s e s s ive compulsive behaviors ( r e p e t i t ive thoughts and PEDRO movements) commonWEISLEDER are ly seen in patients with TS. Cursing, which is the most publicized symptom of TS, is exceedingly rare. Stress sometimes can make tics more severe, frequent or longer in duration. Many children with tics report the urge to perform said tic, though some can suppress this for a short time. As tension builds, though, it eventually has to be released as a tic. If a child is concentrating on controlling a tic, it might be difficult to focus on other tasks, such as schoolwork. Because tics are outside a child’s control, children should not be disciplined for exhibiting them. In most patients, the symptoms of TS are mild and not nec-

essarily an indication of a more serious disorder. For that reason, physicians at Nationwide Children’s Hospital tend to avoid prescribing medications for the condition. Moderate to severe cases of TS can be treated with psychological therapy (habit-reversal therapy) or one of a series of prescription medications. It is important to know, however, that there is no single medication that is helpful to all individuals with tics or TS. For more information on tics and TS, as they relate to children, parents should consult their primary-care physician. Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers treatment for severe cases, and more information is available from the Tourette Syndrome Association of America. Visit www.tsa-usa.org. Dr. Pedro Weisleder is associate professor and director of the child-neurology residency program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital — The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE While much is often made of senior adults and youngsters with hearing loss, middle-aged adults are not as frequently-mentioned. As it turns out, this age group is not immune to hearing loss either. According to a new survey among people 45 to 54 years old, one in nine exhibited signs of hearing loss. This survey shows that, while the rate of hearing loss increases with age, it is a significant problem for those in middle age. When researchers tested the hearing of nearly 3,000 adults between the ages of 21 and 84, about one in seven had some hearing loss. Ninety percent of those examined who were older than 80 had lost some hearing. Hearing loss need not be an inevitable part of growing older. Living a healthy lifestyle and using hearing protection in noisy environments can help to prevent hearing loss in middle age. If you are not hearing as well as you used to, call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation. On average, our patients travel 40 miles each way to save 25% to 70% on their hearing! Our office is located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna. We are the only hearing clinic in Central Ohio using state-of-the-art computerized prescription analyzer with real-ear measurements. We offer the top ten hearing aid brands with zero risk trials, 0% interest programs, and we have been awarded the top health rating on Angie’s List. It pays to drive a few miles to save $1,000s of dollars! 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!
