GCVB eyeing possible BMX facility By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Gahanna Convention and Visitors Bureau (GCVB) is riding high on a recommendation from a sports marketing firm that an investment in a bicycle motocross (BMX) facility could bring as much as $14 million to the city over five years.
Karen Eylon, GCVB director, summarized a survey and audit of Gahanna sports facilities for council last week. Don Schumacher & Associates Inc. of Cincinnati conducted the survey and audit. “The study allows us to understand where we fit,” she said. “The biggest impetus was what’s before us with the National Bicycle League (NBL).” The NBL is a Gahanna-based nonprofit
corporation engaged in the sport of BMX competition. It moved from Hilliard to Creekside about a year ago. The NBL is in need of a national training center and competition facility. The study recommends that the city of Gahanna assist the NBL in locating and constructing a world-class BMX competition facility and then the development of a complete BMX training facility.
“If we build the track, there’s none other like it in Ohio,” Eylon said. “The only similar track is in Sarasota (Florida). The economic impact would be huge.” She said the track could position Gahanna globally, and a national training center could bring in an estimated $14 million from visitors in its first five years. BMX racing is part of the Summer Olympic Games, Eylon said, and the In-
ternational Cycling Union (UCI) BMX Supercross Series will serve as the main qualification event for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The NBL manages BMX leagues throughout the United States. They are affiliated with Global SX Events Inc., which has signed a multiyear contract See BMX, page A2
Seniors, principal tout HONORING THE FALLEN class of 2011 as ‘unified’ By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna Lincoln High School will graduate about 555 seniors beginning at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, June 4, at the Schottenstein Center, 555 Arena Drive. High school principal Dwight Carter said the quality of every senior class continues to amaze him. “This group I’ve gotten to know better because I had a third of them in middle school,” he said. “I’ve known them over a five-year period. What I’ve found is that they really do want to make sure the adults in their lives are proud: their parents, teachers, administrators and coaches.” Carter said the class of 2011, which earned a combined $9.8 million in college scholarships, is very friendly, outgoing and unified. “Kids are so pressed for time today, but they came through and excelled in academics, service and attitude,” he said. Senior Matt Mangia, student council president, said his class includes a remarkable group of students.
“The members of my class have excelled academically, athletically and artistically over the past four years,” he said. “The class of 2011’s accomplishments include leading the way to a state championship soccer title, a basketball Final Four, top finishes at the DECA national competition, national speech-and-debate qualifiers, straight superior ratings at district and state contests in band and choir, and many more!” Mangia said the seniors would be forever remembered for their excellence both inside and outside the classroom. Senior Holly Yanai, a student council member, said her class came together as seniors to vote for the district’s May levy. “It’s something that united our class,” she said. “We were also excited to see Clark Hall go up. That’s more next year’s perk, but we were excited to see a new building because we are so overcrowded.” Senior Derek Cox, National Honor Society president, said he’d always fondly recall the musical and theater productions because he was highly involved See CLASS, page A2
July 4 Freedom Festival gears up with USO focus By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna’s July 4 Freedom Festival could have been a dud this year, considering that the city had no funds to support it. Now, however, organizers expect the holiday to be more spectacular than ever. The Gahanna Parks & Recreation Foundation announced May 24 that Heartland Bank, headquartered in Gahanna, offered to sponsor the Gahanna Freedom Festival, and other businesses and individuals contributed
enough to finance the festival and fireworks. “Heartland has been fortunate to have navigated the financial waters successfully and simply want to give back to the residents of Gahanna,” said G. Scott McComb, Heartland Bank president and CEO. “The parks foundation and community were in jeopardy of losing one of the best community events of the year, and we were not going to let that happen. This is what community banks do. Best of all, we also get to show our appreciation for our active military
by supporting the USO.” Gahanna City Council is in the process of considering a $19,000 contract with Pennsylvania-based S. Vitale Pyrotecnico Industries Inc. to furnish and launch the fireworks display during the Freedom Festival. That cost will be reimbursed to the city by the foundation. Lee Tucker, foundation chairman, told ThisWeek he’s absolutely ecstatic that the community has come together to continue the festival. See FESTIVAL, page A2

Holly Sharp said her twin sons, Benton (Ben) and Jordan Dycus, have enlisted in the Army, with Ben leaving for boot camp this month and Jordan in August. “We didn’t want this celebration to be all about our kids but everyone who has served and will serve,” she said. “We wanted to make it a memorable day for people in our community.” Local DJ Stan Stein donated his services and an-

FESTIVAL Worthington hires Gahanna South principal
June 2, 2011
Continued from page A1
Gahanna Middle School South principal Angie Adrean is leaving to become principal of Worthington Kilbourne High School next school year. “I consider Gahanna and Middle School South as my second family,” Adrean said. “I’ve had the opportunity to build great relationships here, and it will be hard to leave. I am excited about new beginnings and am looking forward to the future.”
She said she’s ready to get back into a high school environment, where she began her teaching career. The Worthington Board of Education on May 23 approved hiring Adrean at an annual salary of $119,642 plus benefits. In Gahanna, Adrean’s salary is $120,397 plus benefits. Adrean began her career as an art teacher at Mansfield Senior High School, where she was hired by retiring Worthington superintendent Melissa Conrath. She taught high school art for

with them. “Even though they didn’t happen our senior year, the soccer team earned the state championship against Cleveland, and in basketball last year, we beat Northland, the No. 1 team in the nation. I think those sporting events will be remembered. … Prom was at the Student Union on Ohio State University’s campus this year. That was sweet.” Cox said his classmates have great initiative. “A lot of times, people go through the high school motions, but I think this class has been a group of leaders from day 1,” he said. “I think we’ll be remembered as a group of leaders. You can see that with the athletic and academic achievements.” The district planned to announce the names of class valedictorians June 2, after final grades were calculated. The Rev. Peter Dembroski, pastor of Mifflin Presbyterian Church, will provide Gahanna’s commencement address. Carter will recognize the top 5 percent of the class, as well as seniors inducted to the high school’s hall of fame. Cox and Mangia will give closing remarks. The class of 2011’s flower is a yellow gerbera daisy, and the class colors are blue, gold and white.
with the UCI, the international governing body for cycling, to manage the BMX Supercross World Cup Series. It’s considered the biggest and most important BMX championship series in the world. “The track isn’t a huge financial undertaking,” Eylon told ThisWeek. “We haven’t gotten as far as how to pay for it or how to make it happen. We’re trying to find a creative way to make it happen.” A committee has been formed to investigate the BMX potential and includes members of Gahanna’s parks and recreation and development departments, as well as Gary Aragon, chief executive officer of the NBL. Schumacher’s study notes two potential sites for the proposed BMX facility in Gahanna, including one on Taylor Road and one on the west side of the interstate, adjacent to Pizzurro Park. The latter soon will be connected to Tech Center Drive, with a new overpass and interchange. Eylon said Newark is partnering with NBL to build a local track but it wouldn’t include a training facility. “This would be an international track,” she said. “We could host a tournament to show our interest. They would build a temporary track. The NBL does a bike tournament over Christmas break.

They would truck in dirt and then put it back to the way it was after they’re done.” Council member Tim Pack said he has witnessed the building and disassembly of a temporary BMX track in Salt Lake City. “I had a vantage point and saw a square-block area with dirt and tents,” he said. “I had never seen anything like it in my life. I saw people coming into the hotel and ESPN was there. I asked what was going on and they said the BMX is here.” Pack said he was surprised at the number of people in attendance. “It was huge,” he said. “I couldn’t believe how they could come in and set it up in 72 hours and then have it torn down in one or two days after it was over.” Eylon said Gahanna already is host to several sports tournaments, including the Gahanna Fall Open soccer tournament, girls fast-pitch softball and swim meets. “We already have a substantial impact from sporting events,” she said. “The study helps us see how we can go after other events.” Parks and recreation director Tony Collins said the track/training center is a good concept and would have a net positive economic impact on Gahanna, based on the study. “The challenge,” he said, “is finding the funds needed for the initial investment.” mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com
“It will be fabulous,” he said. “It will be a huge thing now. It’s great. With Heartland’s sponsorship and the USO, that’s a perfect fit. Heartland put the icing on the cake. The whole foundation worked together. The event will definitely be better, honoring our troops and benefitting the USO.” Parks and recreation director Tony Collins said he couldn’t be more excited about the festival and all of the support that’s making it a reality. “We’re going from a zero show to one of the biggest shows in Gahanna history in honor of our soldiers and a true American tradition, the USO,” he said. “It’s very exciting.” Collins said the USO of Central & Southern Ohio would have military-related activities, including a climbing wall and nine-hole miniature golf course. The USO, a nonprofit organization, relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities. USO funds that are generated locally are used locally to help Ohio’s service men and women and their families. In addition to the activities provided by the USO at the festival, Gahanna’s YMCA also will operate children’s games.
Other financial contributors include Stripes Partners Superior Beverage Group, the Gahanna Rotary Club, Kemba Financial Credit Union, Eckl Parking and Sunrise Masonic Lodge 783. An anonymous family also contributed $5,000 for the festival. “We’re very excited to have all these partners step up,” Tucker said. “We have over $20,000 committed, and it’s still growing. Whatever we don’t use this year will be used for next year.” Because of financial challenges, the 2011 parks and recreation budget did not include funding for the Freedom Festival, which traditionally features the annual fireworks show. Since it was announced last year that the city couldn’t fund the festival, the Gahanna Parks & Recreation Foundation has dedicated time to raising the money for the fireworks. “This is another example of what makes Gahanna such a special community,” Mayor Becky Stinchcomb said. “I am proud of the foundation’s efforts to bring everyone together and to honor our men and women in uniform. Community, service and tradition is what the Fourth of July is all about.” mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen THE “STEALTH” HEARING INSTRUMENT
For those who prefer a hearing instrument that is completely imperceptible and surpassingly convenient, there is the 100 percent invisible extended-wear model. This exceptionally small prescription hearing instrument is placed by a professional into the wearer’s ear canal about four millimeters from the eardrum. Once in place, it is worn continuously for three to four months until it is replaced with a new one. In the meantime, wearers need not concern themselves with battery changes or poor hearing that comes with non-wear. Because they work with the ear’s anatomy to direct sound into the ear canal, extended-wear instruments provide excellent clarity. This is just one option among many for people looking for the instrument that best suits their needs. For those people who avoid wearing a hearing instrument out of concern of what others will think, today’s smaller options are both more discreet and more effective than their more noticeable predecessors. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, we offer a wide variety of hearing devices to choose from. If you or a family member are not hearing as well as you could, please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation.

Airport construction jets McCoy to speak at PARTY money into local economy Academy graduation
Continued from page A1
By JEFF DONAHUE Statistics released May 25 by the Columbus Regional Airport Authority show the city’s three airport facilities have become major contributors to the local economy. Elaine Roberts, airport authority president and CEO, said Port Columbus International Airport, Rickenbacker Airport and Bolton Field facilities are responsible for more than $2.7 billion a year in economic activity. The airport authority has a construction budget of more than $117 million this year for improvement and expansion projects, with more than $490 million in capital expenditures occurring since 2005. These projects are funded by federal airport improvement grants, federal American Recovery & Reinvestment Act funding, airport revenue bonds, user fees and airport authority funds. “In addition to the significant, ongoing economic impact created by the airports, several major, multi-year construction projects are fueling even greater economic growth in the region,” Roberts said. The first major project is the replacement of the south runway at Port Columbus. The replacement runway, which will be 702 feet south of the existing south runway, maximizes the use of airport property by providing enough separation from the north runway for simultaneous arrivals and departures, Roberts said. The new location also sets the stage for a second passenger terminal, which will be built in the center of the airport property, as dictated by increased passenger activity. The existing south runway, which includes original 1928 pavement in some areas, has been extended and repaved over the years and with this new project will be converted to a taxiway. The airport authority’s board of directors has approved more than $45 million in runway-re-

placement project funds. The majority of those funds will go to Shelly & Sands Inc. for paving and electrical work, as well as the installation of aircraft navigational aids, Roberts said. The entire fouryear project, which includes modifications to the airport golf course, is estimated about $143 million. Earth and utility work is under way, with the runway expected to open June 2013. The board also approved more than $4.2 million in funds for the final phase of pavement rehabilitation and lighting replacement for a runway at Rickenbacker, the cargo-dedicated airport on the south side of Columbus, Roberts said. After its completion, the project will have spanned three years
and resulted in an investment of about $15.3 million. Another major construction project currently under way at Port Columbus is the new in-line baggage-screening system that is expected to enhance safety and customer service, Roberts said. Terminal-lobby congestion will be alleviated when the screening equipment is moved behind the scenes, enabling passengers to again leave their luggage at the airline ticket counters, he said. This $34-million project started in 2010 and is expected to be functional by Thanksgiving, with some work continuing into 2012. “We recognize that our business and community partners rely on the successful operation and development of Port Columbus, Rickenbacker and Bolton Field airports,” Roberts said. “We take great pride in providing safe, enjoyable airport environments on a daily basis while also planning for the long-term growth of these critical aviation assets. We are fortunate to be able to accomplish this while also creating a significant impact to the local economy.”

Columbus Academy will graduate 83 seniors at 9 a.m. Friday, June 10, marking the 98th class of the coeducational, independent school in Gahanna. John B. McCoy, retired chairman of Bank One Corp., will serve as commencement speaker 50 years after graduating from the academy, whose enrollment is 1,070 students in prekindergarten through grade 12. Columbus Academy’s valedictorian and other award winners will be announced during an assembly on June 8. “The class of 2011 has been impressive in many areas,” said John Mackenzie, headmaster. “It includes students with remarkable strengths across all aspects of school life: academics, athletics, arts and activities. Many of the students have won recognition for their accomplishments at the state and national level. These strengths have enabled them to offer important leadership to our younger grades and have won them admission to a broad range of very selective colleges.” Academy’s class of 2011 will
be represented at 55 different colleges and universities. As the seniors approach graduation, Mackenzie said, most of them are appreciating how their experience at the school has been shaped by the friendships they have made with classmates and faculty members who have offered them guidance and support. “As Columbus Academy celebrates its 100th year, we could not be more proud of a senior class that has represented all the best values of this school,” Mackenzie said. After graduating as class president from Columbus Academy in 1961, McCoy earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Williams College in 1965, and he received an honorary doctor of laws degree from the Williamstown, Mass., school in 1992. McCoy also has an MBA in finance from Stanford University and honorary doctorate degrees from the Ohio State University, Kenyon College and Michigan State University. Graduation ceremonies will be held at the academy’s senior quad at the school, 4300 Cherry Bottom Road, Gahanna.
and an American flag. “It was to signify one nation under God and to appreciate past, present and future service with gratitude from us and the city of Gahanna,” Sharp said. American flags and other patriotic decorations helped set the scene of the celebration that also included a menu of fried chicken, lemonade and apple pie. Guests also were presented with a packet of forget-me-not seeds with an attached yellow ribbon. “We asked them to plant the seeds and keep the ribbons on the refrigerator as a reminder to pray for our troops every day,” Sharp said. Both Ben and Jordan Dycus, 2010 Gahanna Lincoln High School graduates, said they were most humbled by the Honor Guard recognizing them. “I’m not even a real soldier yet,” Ben Dycus said. “That meant a lot. To see the vets with their medals because they’ve done it and served, that meant a lot to me and my brother. It was an honor to have that done.” Jordan said he has been living on his own and working to see what it’s like. He will be a mechanic in the Army.

Columbus2020!
Central Ohio’s prospects for job growth are promising Pharmaceutical companies often are judged by their “pipeline” of future products. Their stock price could fluctuate on the value of this pipeline and the potential it has to drive future revenue. The Columbus2020! initiative also tracks its pipeline of potential projects, those competitive initiatives that could add jobs and investment in the Columbus region. A close analysis likely would warrant a “buy” recommendation if the Columbus region were selling shares of stock. The Columbus2020! initiative’s pipeline comprises companies that aren’t here yet but that are considering central Ohio for new facilities, as well as existing companies that are considering expansion locally and a host of new enterprises that are being developed through TechColumbus and at satellite entrepreneurial centers throughout the area. One thing is clear: The level of activity is up compared to the past several years, and our prospects for the future are bright. A closer look at the new companies looking at our region shows that 58 percent of the projects are small- to medium-size operations in the advanced-manufacturing sector; 28 percent are international companies considering the United States, and a framework for headquarters and back-office projects has the potential to create hundreds of jobs. Projects are being sourced from nearly every corner of the nation, and each international mission is creating qualified projects. The region’s technology in-
cubators and entrepreneurial centers are nearing capacity in C o l u m bu s , Dublin and New Albany, KENNY driven by MCDONALD market opportunities in the advanced-energy, advanced-materials, information-technology and medical-healthcare sectors. It is a testament to the efforts of state and local leaders that such operations exist to nurture these new enterprises that represent the future of central Ohio. As another indicator, in 2010 funding for local startups reached new heights as a record-setting 117 promising young companies
received $307.56 million in innovation capital to fuel the growth of their businesses. This is a 73percent increase over 2009. TechColumbus has the entire report online at TechColumbus.org. The Columbus area has to compete to win these projects, and the companies have to execute on their plans for our potential to be realized, but the market potential is there. The Columbus region has a lot to feel good about: Its future prospects for job growth and investment look great. Kenny McDonald is chief economic officer for Columbus2020!

Library ready to Police: Scrap-yard moratorium worked launch summer A closer look reading program By GARY SEMAN JR.
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Columbus Metropolitan Library system will begin the 2011 Summer Reading Club at all 21 locations June 4. A kickoff celebration will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the main library, 96 S. Grant Ave. downtown. Customers can sign up for the club at any branch of Columbus system or Southwest Public Libraries, which also is participating in the program. The program, which runs through July 31, is free and open to people of all ages. It serves about 80,000 people every summer. “We’re happy to offer Summer Reading Club to the kids and adults in the community,” said Kim Snell, spokeswoman for the Columbus Metropolitan Library. “It’s a great way to keep your reading skills sharp over the summer and have fun and while you’re doing it.” The library will host programs featuring musicians, live animals, dancers, clowns and other activities throughout the summer. Those who register will be eligible for prizes. This year’s theme is “Be a Hero. Read.” The library is introducing the character “Captain Read” to the children of central Ohio and the program emphasizes all the different ways people can become heroes through education and creativity, Snell said.
Columbus safety officials say a monthlong moratorium has cooled the theft of airconditioners and parts. With the cooperation of local scrap yards, the city declared the moratorium from April 12 through May 13. Police data show a 69-percent reduction in reported air-conditioner thefts during the moratorium period. From Nov. 1 to April 11, police averaged 20.3 reports per week. During the moratorium, police averaged 6.25 reports per week. Thieves are after the copper tubing inside air-conditioners, which can net anywhere from $30 to $50 per unit. At the time the moratorium was declared, the city said there were 400 reports of stolen air-conditioners throughout the city since November. “The moratorium cut off the incentive of money is why I think it was successful,” said George Speaks, deputy director of the Columbus Department of Public Safety. “There was no place for thieves to sell the (air-conditioner) scrap metal unless they went outside central Ohio.”
Thieves are after the copper tubing inside air-conditioners, which can net anywhere from $30 to $50 per unit. At the time the moratorium was declared, the city said there were 400 reports of stolen air-conditioners throughout the city since November.
While the moratorium is over, the fight isn’t. The city and other organizations will continue their public-outreach campaign throughout the summer, Speaks said. They are encouraging residents and business owners to mark their units with ultraviolet ink markings, cut back trees and shrubs from air-conditioners, enclose the units in a metal cage or other secure device or link the units to a security system. “We hope to maintain the momentum that we’ve had during the moratorium,” he said. Central Ohio Crime Stoppers will offer a total of $6,000 in reward money for the arrest and prosecution of scrap-metal thieves. Nationwide Insurance, a consortium of cen-
tral Ohio scrap-metal facilities and Crime Stoppers each kicked in $2,000 for the effort. In related news, the U.S. EPA announced that scrap-metal facilities must comply with clean-air laws that require the sellers of airconditioners have the refrigerant properly removed before the units can be purchased. Failure to do so can result in up to $37,500 in fines per day, per violation. Criminal charges and fines also are possible. Cyclemet Inc., a recycler on the West Side, is still abiding by the moratorium, said its president, Bernie Senser. “We’re really trying to do the right thing,” he said. “I think most of us are.” Established in 1984, the company started accepting steel products, such as refrigerators and air-conditioners, in the last few years. Senser said that Cyclemet is considering setting up a recovery system for refrigerants. “We’re looking into ways to recycle certain items, but doing it in an environmentally friendly way,” he said. “Whether we pursue that, we don’t know.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

CHA volunteer Elissa O’Sullivan pets Marley, a 5-year-old mixed breed, who is looking for a home. Marley was returned to the shelter after being adopted because the family divorced and couldn’t keep him. He has been back at the shelter for quite some time now and is looking for a new family.
Special promotion helped find homes for shelter’s dogs, cats By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Saying goodbye to old friends is never easy, even if it is for the best. A lot of bittersweet partings have been taking place of late at CHA Animal Shelter on Corporate Drive. Thanks to a rollback in adoption fees during most of the month of May, in some cases to 1950sera levels, “forever homes” were found for many dogs and cats, including some who had been residents of the shelter long enough to find their way into the hearts of staff members and volunteers, according to development director Terri Montigny. Adoption fees were trimmed to $50 from May 10 to May 31, and during the weekend of May 2022, the charge for a neutered dog or cat who had been at the shelter five months or more was only $5. “It’s the first time we’ve done this particular promotion,” Montigny said. It was instituted because the fa-

cility was full. “We had maxed out our numbers,” Montigny said. Uncertainty stemming from troubled economic times was no doubt part of the reason for that, she added. “I think people, rightfully so, look at the long-term commitment of having another mouth to feed,” Montigny said. Special adoption fee promotions in 2010 helped increase the number of pets placed in permanent homes over the previous year. “We’re all looking for the best price out there right now on everything,” Montigny said. Special promotional pricing has helped find new homes for animals that had been around the shelter for many, many months. While the 350-plus volunteers who come in to help out every week and the CHA Animal Shel-
ter employees come to love these dogs and cats, Montigny said there is a great deal of joy involved in watching someone take them home. “The happiest moment of our lives,” she said. “It really is. But we get extremely attached to those animals.” CHA is one of the few adoption organizations to have a pit bull program, she pointed out. One of CHA’s pit bulls, named Lois, called the shelter home for 13 months before someone finally took her. “You see an animal every single day for 13 months, you become very attached to that animal,” Montigny pointed out. Attached or not, though, a loving household is the ultimate goal, she added. “It’s the greatest feeling in the world,” Montigny said, “that you worked really hard, you promoted the animal, you used all your contacts and you found the perfect home for this dog or cat. We love it. I don’t think there’s anything more satisfying in our job.”
‘It feels like she has always been with us’ People who adopt cats and dogs from the CHA Animal Shelter “become part of the CHA family,” according to development director Terri Montigny. They’re always encouraged to stay in touch because shelter volunteers and staff members enjoy finding out what happens after an animal finds a permanent home. Social networking has helped make that even more possible, Montigny said. Below are some examples of postings to the CHA Animal Shelter Facebook page in recent months: • “Here is a quick update on Jade. She hates storms, loves to run and play in the mud in her new backyard, she loves to follow me around and also sleeps with me. Jade watches TV with me every night.” • “Anna and Princess are doing great. They are finally getting along. (It) took Anna a long time to make nice with her. Now they lay together on the stairs and look out the window; too cute. Anna loves my husband, Bob. She lays all over him and even lets him pick her up and carry and hold her. We love them. Thank you all for taking such great care of them.” • “We adopted Kohlbie, formerly known as Mick-
ey, about a month and a half ago from CHA. Since then, I have not stopped smiling and laughing as he is such a precious funny little guy. He is absolutely perfect and 99.9 percent housebroken! Thank you!” • “Many of you remember Zulu. My husband and I adopted her in January of 2010. If everyone can pray for her recovery — though she is already doing so well — she was hit by a car last Friday and had to have surgery.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CASH IN ON MODERN DAY GOLD RUSH! By Jason Delong
Gold and silver pour into yesterday’s Roadshow due to highest prices in 40 years.
STAFF WRITER Yesterday in Worthington & Reynoldsburg, hundreds lined up to cash in antiques, collectibles, gold and jewelry at the Treasure Hunters Roadshow. The free event is in both towns all week, buying gold, silver, antiques and collectibles. One visitor I spoke with yesterday said, “It’s unbelievable, I brought in some old coins that had been in a little cigar box for years and some old herringbone necklaces—in less than fifteen minutes I left with a

That stuff has been in my jewelr y box and dresser for at least 20 years.” Another gentleman brought in an old Fender guitar his father had bought years ago. The man said, “Dad had less than fifty bucks in that guitar.” The Roadshow specialist that assisted him made a few phone calls and a veterinarian in Seattle, Washington bought the guitar for $5,700.00. The seller continued, “I got another $150.00 for a broken necklace and an old class ring. It’s not every day that someone comes to town bringing six thousand dollars with your name on it.” Jeff Parsons, President of the Treasure

REGIONAL CHAMPIONS
Lions beat Comets, advance to state By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Pitching performances such as the ones by Rachel Thomas throughout the 2003 postseason helped create lasting memories for the Gahanna Lincoln High School softball team. It’s also been impossible for coach Jim Campolo to forget how two errors on one play cost his team the Division I state championship that season. The Lions are back in the state tournament for the first time since Thomas struck out 12 but watched as her team lost to Whitehouse Anthony Wayne 20 in the 2003 state final at Brookside Park in Ashland. Gahanna will meet West Chester Lakota West in a state semifinal at 12:30 p.m. Friday, June 3, at Akron Firestone Stadium. “It doesn’t get any easier,” Campolo said. “It doesn’t matter who you play. All 19 of our kids had the same goal from day one, and that was to get to state. This is special. It’s a one-game season and you can’t make mistakes. It’s special to us. I will never forget the 2003 state run because we made a mistake that cost us the game. You can’t make mistakes in big games and expect to win.” Gahanna defeated Central Crossing 4-3 in a regional final May 28 at Ohio State to improve to 19-10 and win a regional title.

Gahanna again bows out in regional tournament By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

senior Vinny Galiardi and a three-run lead in the fourth inning wasn’t enough for the Lions, as they lost 7-4 to the Warhawks in a Division I regional semifinal May 26 at Dublin Coffman.

Lions were regional runners-up in 2008 and lost in a regional semifinal in 2009 before falling in a district semifinal a year ago. “(Central) hit the ball well and had timely hitting,” coach Mike Shade said. “We had opportunities also, but they have a good ballclub.

Three athletes who have owned the state record in the pole vault will be competing in the Division I boys state track and field meet on Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4, at Ohio State, including Gahanna Lincoln High School junior Jake Blankenship. Olentangy Liberty senior Chris Uhle, the defending state champion, won the event last year by clearing a state-record height of 16 feet, 9 inches, finishing ahead of Liberty senior Joey Uhle (16-0), Dublin Scioto graduate Michael Shibko (15-8) and Blankenship (15-8). On May 14 in the OCC-Ohio Division meet, Blankenship broke Chris Uhle’s record by clearing 16-10. However, on May 21 in the district 2 meet, Joey Uhle broke Blankenship’s mark by clearing 17-0. Blankenship believes he likely will need clear at least 17 feet to finish ahead of the Uhle twins at state. “All three of us have held the state record this season and I’m thinking the state record will most likely be broken again at state with all three of us pushing each other there,” Blankenship said. “Chris and Joey are great competition, so it’s going to be tough to win at state, but I’m going to give it my best shot. I bought a bigger pole that’s harder to flex and stiffer, and I’m hoping that will help me jump higher than I ever have before.” Blankenship won his first regional title in the pole vault by clearing 16-0 in the regional meet held May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North, tying Joey Uhle’s regional meet record that was set last year. The Uhle twins both attempted to clear 16-6 instead of 16-0 after Blankenship cleared the height

Lions hoping to build skills, program numbers By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Jesse Shivener of Gahanna laments a missed shot during a first-round singles match against Chagrin Falls Kenston’s Nolan Marks in the Division I state tournament May 27 at Hilliard Davidson. Shivener lost 6-2, 6-3 and finished the season with a 27-4 overall record.
Boys Tennis
In a little more than a year, the Gahanna Lincoln High School girls lacrosse team transformed from a program that faced a mix of varsity and junior varsity opponents to one that advanced to a Club Division regional final. The Lions enter this offseason dreaming about how far they can go next year if they take a similar step forward. One key part of the transformation involves interest. According to first-year coach Brooke Eisenacher, having more players come out next season as well as adding a middle school team in the coming years are among the program goals. Being eligible to return all but two regulars should help next season. Seniors Nichole Binkoski and Dani Merz split time at goalkeeper, meaning that the Lions should bring back all but one starter. “We definitely need to improve our stick skills, and we’re hoping to work on our conditioning,” Eisenacher said. “This year if we’d had any injuries, it would have really impacted our schedule. I thought we did pretty well for a second-year team.” The Lions opened the club tournament with a 17-13 victory over visiting Beachwood on May 21 but lost 17-6 to host North Canton Hoover on May 27 to finish 11-7 overall.
Coach: Shivener set bar BASEBALL for returning Lions players Continued from page B1
By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Jesse Shivener’s stay in the Division I state singles tournament didn’t last as long as he wanted, but the senior for the Gahanna Lincoln High School boys tennis team cherished every minute of it. Shivener, the Lions’ first state qualifier since David Koppel in 2005, lost to Chagrin Falls Kenston senior Nolan Marks 6-2, 63 in the first round of the state tournament on May 27 at Hilliard Davidson. “Regardless of how I did, this was a great accomplishment,” said Shivener, who finished the season with a 27-4 record. “Everyone here is a great player.” Shivener struggled against the serves of Marks, the secondplace finisher in the Cincinnati district. The turning point, according to Shivener, came early in the second set. Trailing 2-1, Shivener held a 40-0 lead but couldn’t hold serve. “Marks did a very good job of moving Jesse around and changing the pace up,” coach Chris Schwinnen said. “Jesse had struggled a little bit serving today and at the state tournament, if you struggle in one area, it could be the end of you.” Shivener wasn’t the only central Ohio singles player to struggle at state. The past three years, the Central District was represented in the singles final, with Worthington Kilbourne’s Kevin Metka winning the title last year and New Albany’s Peter Kobelt winning the title in 2009 after placing second in 2008. This year, none of the district’s four state qualifiers made it past the first day of competition.

huge considering Gahanna has only won a league title five times in the history of the program.” The Lions lose three seniors in Shivener, Billy Smith and Sam Sobul, who split time at second doubles. Schwinnen said having Shivener make it to state sets the bar for everyone. “Jesse showed the caliber of tennis it takes to get to the state tournament,” Schwinnen said. “This is the level of tennis we need to emulate. (The returnees) need to hit as much as Jesse did and work as hard as he did in the offseason.” Schwinnen expects to return Teague and junior Stephen Cheng, who just missed joining Shivener at state in doubles. For the second year in a row, Cheng and Teague lost a three-set match in the qualifying round of the district tournament, as the duo lost to St. Charles’ Grant Dolven and Weston Niermeyer 26, 6-4, 6-4. Also expected to return are Raybuck and juniors Daniel Emoff and Alex Gavrilov. “These guys like being considered up there with (fellow league champions) Upper Arlington, New Albany and Dublin Jerome,” Schwinnen said. “They have all said to me, ‘Coach, we are getting four in row next year.’ It’s fantastic they have that attitude already.”

Shivener’s state performance capped the season for the Lions, who finished 14-4 overall after losing to New Albany 3-2 in a district semifinal of the OTCA Division I tournament on May 18. Gahanna captured its third consecutive OCC-Ohio Division championship, going 7-0 with 68 points to finish ahead of Pickerington North (6-1, 55), Pickerington Central (5-2, 50), Reynoldsburg (4-3, 34), Grove City (3-4, 26), Groveport (2-5, 16), Newark (1-6, 11) and Lancaster (0-7, 9). Shivener (first singles), sophomore Canyon Teague (second singles) and junior Sam Raybuck (third singles) swept the singles courts in the league tournament May 7 at Pickerington North. “In my four years, we won the OCCs three times,” said Shivener, who placed third in the district tournament May pbatterson@thisweeknews.com 20-21 at Davidson. “That was www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

a 4-1 lead, that’s obviously a good thing, but we knew they were not going to give up.” Against Central, the Lions tied it at 1 in the third inning and senior Taylor Neville hit a three-run home run to left-center field in the fourth to give Gahanna a 4-1 lead. The Warhawks answered with one run in the bottom of the fourth and scored three runs in the fifth to take a 5-4 lead. In the sixth, Galiardi allowed the first two runners to reach base and was replaced by Alec Tuohy. Kyle Pollock, an Ohio State signee and the Warhawks’ catcher, followed with a tworun single to close the scoring. Gahanna had two runners on in the sixth and one in the seventh, but Central starter Connor Sitz didn’t allow a run after Neville’s home run. “We definitely had our opportunities, but somehow we just didn’t come through like we have been,” Neville said. Gahanna finished 24-7 overall and placed second in the OCC-Ohio Division at 10-4, behind Pickerington North (12-2) and ahead of Grove City (9-5), Reynoldsburg (9-5), Pickerington Central (8-6), Groveport (311), Newark (3-11) and Lancaster (2-12).

Binkoski, Rapelje and Tarbutton each made first-team allleague, Maley and Moser made the second team and junior Tiffany Chen was honorable mention. Rapelje was first-team all-region and all-state, Tarbutton made the second-team all-region and Binkoski was honorable mention all-region. Sophomore attacker Kelsey Francis added 24 goals. Maley gained experience at goalkeeper and could take over that position next season. “We improved a ridiculous amount,” Maley said. “At the beginning of the season, half of the girls couldn’t even catch. We came a long way. We had a good coach and good captains in Alyssa Rapelje and Nichole Binkoski. They pushed everyone.”
Sophomore Anna Tarbutton scored two goals and junior Alyssa Rapelje and sophomores Bre Moser, Maggie Maley and Katie Mackall all scored one against Hoover. Binkoski had seven saves and Merz had three. The Lions trailed 5-0 five minutes into the game and 12-1 at halftime. “I think they were just a better team overall,” Moser said. “They had a lot of players who could put the ball into the net. The first five minutes we were still shaky and nervous. I think with us being a younger team, we learned from teams that are better than us. The next time we play in a tournament game like that, we’ll know what to expect.” “They were a good team,” Eisenacher said. “They’re pretty sure they’re going to hit varsity status next season. The next thing on my mind after we played them was whether we might push for that next year. There are some pros and cons julrey@thisweeknews.com to both (varsity and club).” Gahanna placed second in the www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

•Record: 24-7 overall, 10-4 (second) in OCC-Ohio •Seniors lost: Shane DeFranco, Jordan Ewing, Vinny Galiardi, Drew Kessler, Jarrod Moss, Taylor Neville and Joey Tomko •Key returnees: Dakota Cararo, Cole Greisinger, Jake Moss, Alec Tuohy, Nick Van Keuren and Evan White
first-team all-district. Senior third baseman Shane DeFranco was honorable mention. Tuohy earned the starting nod for the district final after pitching well late in the regular season. He and junior Nick Van Keuren, who was the No. 2 starter for most of the regular season, give the team two experienced pitchers heading into next season. Junior outfielders Cole Greisinger and Jake Moss should return to lead the offense, with sophomore Dakota Cararo eligible to be back at catcher. Sophomore Trent Champlin and freshman Evan White are others who should return. “We’ve got a great group (of seniors),” said Neville, who is sifting through college offers from Thomas More, Ashland and Capital, among others. “There were no egos, which has been really nice. We got along great and it’s sad to see it end.” “I can’t say enough about these seniors,” Shade said. “They won three district titles and came to play every day. They’re great young men. They helped turn our program around and got us to this point where we could compete for district titles every year. We hadn’t had a chance to do that before. You hope it builds on itself.”
nine innings on April 28 and the second three days later — inevitably doomed Gahanna’s hopes of winning the league championship. Seeded fifth, the Lions opened the district tournament with a 7-6 win over Central Crossing in the second round on May 11 after having a first-round bye and beat Watkins Memorial 3-1 in a district semifinal on May 18 at Hilliard Davidson. Then in a district final May 21 at Dublin Jerome, Tuohy tossed a complete game in a 51 victory over second-seeded Coffman. Tuohy, a sophomore who spent most of the regular season as the team’s No. 3 starter, likely will take on a key role next season as the Lions look to replace seven seniors. Galiardi, senior shortstop Joey Tomko and senior second base- julrey@thisweeknews.com man Jarrod Moss all were named www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Academy Roundup
Regional title excites Vikes’ boys track team By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Columbus Academy boys track and field team hopes its impressive postseason continues at the Division III state meet Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4, at Ohio State. The Vikings scored 71 points to win the regional meet that concluded May 27 at Fairfield Union, finishing well ahead of runner-up Ready (45) as 46 teams scored. They also won the district meet that concluded May 21 at Gahanna, scoring 83.5 points to finish ahead of runnerup Grandview (68.5) as 21 teams scored. “This is only the fifth time we have won a regional in my 37 years here,” coach Bob Kirk said. “We nearly scored as many points (at regional) as we did (at district) and there were three or four times the teams here than (at district). There were teams from (Lake Erie) to the (Ohio River).” Junior Jon Michael Hilsheimer will be making a return trip to state. He won the 800 meters (1 minute, 57.3 seconds) and placed third in the 1,600 (4:22.83). He also teamed with seniors Ben Meacham and John Sutton and freshman Jack Lint on the winning 1,600 relay (3:25.35) and with Sutton, sophomore Dominic Facciolla and freshman Jake Tuckerman on the winning 3,200 relay (8:10.79). Last season, Hilsheimer and 2010 graduates Clay Hoster, Gebby Keny and Nathaniel Sutton combined to win the state title in the 1,600 relay (3:18.65), breaking the 16-year-old state record by almost three seconds. Also qualifying for state were Lint, who won the 300 hurdles (38.99), and sophomore Tyler Gittins, who placed fourth in the 300 hurdles (40.21). The top four finishers in each regional event advanced to state. “It was amazing and it was big for me to win (regional) as a freshman,” said Lint, who edged Bainbridge Pant Valley’s Tim Morrell (39.14) for the title in the 300 hurdles. “I knew I came into the finals with the fastest time, but that didn’t mean I would win. I knew the kid from Paint Valley was good, so I had to run even better. The key was hitting the last two hurdles in stride. When we hit the last hurdle, we were even, but I was able to sprint away from (Morrell) down the stretch.” Kirk is looking forward to another solid performance at state.

Academy defeated Cincinnati Summit Country Day 10-8 in a South/Central Region semifinal May 24 at Hartley, as Clarissa Leickly and Allie Roehrenbeck scored three goals apiece. Against CSG, Courtney Deena’s goal in the final minute snapped a 13-all tie. “The kids played so strong against CSG,” Horton said. “It was our best first half of the season. The kids put together two solid halves. CSG wouldn’t go away, but we finished the game in our favor.” •Juniors Langston Hughes and Chris Perrini of the boys tennis team capped their season in the Division II state doubles tournament May 27 at Hilliard Davidson. Hughes and Perrini beat Gates Mills Gilmour Academy’s Wes Noall and Mike Riley 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in the first round before losing to Lima Central Catholic’s John Kidd and Alex Swick 6-2, 6-4 in a quarterfinal. Hughes and Perrini, who had won sectional and district titles, finished 9-2. Academy finished 8-9 overall and 5-1 with 43 points in the MSL-Ohio/Cardinal Division to place second, behind Bexley (60, 47) and ahead of Granville (4-2, 29), Fisher Catholic (3-3, 17), Grandview (2-4, 15), Whitehall (1-5, 8) and West Jefferson (0-6, 2). Academy was sixth in the final Division II state poll, behind top-ranked Hunting Valley University School. The Vikings were denied a fourth consecutive OTCA Division II team title after losing to Watterson 3-1 in the first round April 14. Academy had defeated the Eagles 3-2 on April 7. “You’re coming off three straight state championships, so the expectations go up and some of that isn’t necessarily fair for these guys,” coach Jeff Warstler said. “This particular group shouldn’t be held to the standard of what some of those other guys have done. I thought they still took the reins of that responsibility.” The Vikings lose two seniors in Harsha Chandupatla and Sean Firouzian. Along with Hughes and Perrini, expected to return are juniors Dan Leathery and Abram Schottenstein, sophomore Ezra Smith and freshmen Evan Alexander, Ryan Jung and Nikhil Patel.

“These kids are coachable and they do the things that I tell them they need to do,” he said. “They do their warm-downs between races and get focused for the next races. They did the little things they needed to do to be successful.” The girls team will be represented at state by sophomore Sarah Timko, who placed fourth at regional in the high jump (5 feet, 2 inches). The Vikings scored 21 points at regional to tie Fredericktown for 10th behind champion Waynesfield-Goshen (71) as 47 teams scored. •The girls lacrosse team is seeking its first state title since 2000.

Quickness helps Marshall, Gahanna reach final four
Continued from page B1 Hoover has won four state titles, with the last coming in 2008. “I’ve never been (to state) before, so I don’t know what it’s going to be like,” senior pitcher Brandis Fishel said. “It’s going to be wild. I don’t know if I’m going to be nervous or not. Losing in the regional final last year motivated us a lot. We’ve been to the districts the last three years and after losing last year in the regional final, we had to get it this year. This is really big. (The championship) is within reach now.” In the regional final, Gahanna took a 3-0 lead against the district’s top-seeded team in the bottom of the second inning. Emily Vinsel lined a double off the leftfield fence and scored on a single by Olivia Schumacher, who then scored on a double by Sara Nelson. Courtesy runner Rachel Zink scored the third run on a single by Montana Fishel. The Comets scored one run to make it 4-3 and had runners on second and third with two outs in the seventh, but Brandis Fishel struck out Central Crossing’s Paige Rhodes to end the game. “This is the way it’s supposed to be played,” Campolo said. “If

We expect it to be close and we practice for close games to try to get ourselves ready for these types of games.” Gahanna advanced to the regional final with a 7-6 win over Copley in a regional semifinal on May 25 at Ohio State. The Lions opened the game by scoring three times in the first, but Copley struck back with three runs in the second. In the fourth, Gahanna got a two-run single by Tiyona Marshall and took a 7-3 lead. After the game, Campolo laid into his team regarding some of the mistakes they made in the

Continued from page B1 vanced to state. “I wasn’t even thinking about winning regional because making it to state was the only thing on my mind,” Blankenship said. “It was all about clearing the bar at 15 feet, because once I did that, I knew I had qualified. I’m happy that I won, but I’m happier that I qualified than anything else.” Gahanna scored 13 points at regional to tie Olentangy for 23rd of the 39 teams that scored, behind co-champions Thomas Worthington (37) and Westerville North (37). •The girls team scored 13 points at regional to tie Hilliard Bradley and Marion-Franklin for 16th of the 40 squads that scored, behind champion Reynoldsburg (88). Sophomore Lynnsey Brim won the long jump (17-8 3/4), edging Big Walnut’s Olivia Small (178 1/2). After jumping 13-9 and fouling on her second attempt, Brim jumped 17-8 3/4 and then passed on her final three attempts to rest a turf toe injury. “I was nervous because my first two jumps weren’t good, so I was just trying to jump good enough to make it to state,” Brim said. Brim had the seventh-best regional distance of the 16 girls who qualified for state in the long jump, but she is optimistic that she can jump well over 18 feet to place at state, as she holds the program record of 18-9 3/4 and placed third at state last year by jumping 18-8 3/4. Middleburg Heights’ Kaila Barber won the state title last year with a jump of 19-8 1/4, with Middletown’s Fabia McDonald placing second (18-10). The Lions were hampered by injuries at regional as Daniella Johnson injured her ankle and wasn’t able to compete in the 100 meters. Johnson had to be replaced by Taylor Poches in the finals of both the 400 relay and 800 relay. In addition, Brim strained a quadriceps and had to be replaced by Alexandria Fluellen in the final

What a weekend for high school sports. Watterson’s Chris Diaz finished his second consecutive undefeated season with another Division II state singles title in boys tennis and the Upper Arlington doubles team of Stu Little and Billy Weldon won their second consecutive Division I championship. Worthington Kilbourne and Dublin Jerome won boys lacrosse regional titles. Grove City, Jonathan Alder, DeSales and Newark Catholic captured regional championships in baseball. The Reynoldsburg and Hartley girls track and field teams won regional titles, as did the Thomas Worthington, Westerville North and Columbus Academy boys teams. In softball, DeSales and Liberty Union captured regional championships, and so did Gahanna with a thrilling 4-3 win over an outstanding Central Crossing team. With a 19-10 record, Gahanna will play West Chester Lakota West in a state semifinal at 12:30 p.m. Friday, June 3, at Akron Firestone Stadium. The final is 4 p.m. Saturday, June 4. For senior standout Tiyona Marshall, it is a fitting end to her wonderful prep career. Marshall is Gahanna’s all-time leader in hits with 148. She is batting .488 this season (42-for86), and her average with runners in scoring position is an impressive .648. “This definitely is a dream come true in my senior year and I am so excited to play in the state tournament,” said Marshall, a center fielder and third baseman who will play at Miami University next year. “We have come a long way this year. At one time we lost seven straight games and after that tough stretch we realized what we were doing wrong and worked unbelievably hard to correct our mistakes, and it has paid off. “Now we are all together as one and there is absolutely no individuality on this team, and when someone makes a mistake we all try to pick them up and the results are obvious. Our confidence is up and we are really hitting the ball well right now.” For veteran coach Jim Campolo, this is a return trip to state, where he guided the Lions to a Division I runner-up finish in 2003. He has high praise for his team. “I believe lots of people underestimated us because we lost a ton of players from last year’s

regional finalist team,” he said. “The thing that has made this team special in my opinion is that we are loaded with speed and our opponents had better play good defense against us to stop what we like to do and, knock on wood, so far the other teams haven’t been able to do LARRY that. LARSON “Since our team was in the state championship tournament eight years ago I have been trying to get us back to that level. We have definitely had some teams during these past eight years that were capable of reaching the final four, but we always seemed to make a few mistakes that prevented us from going. This year we have just laid it on the line. “We have gotten ahead in many of our games and just hung on. These kids have great heart and never quit. I told all of them recently that I don’t care how many times you go to the regional tournament or the state championship tournament, it is going to always be new and exciting, and it will be one of the best things you can do in sports as an athlete.” Reflecting on her team and on her softball career at Gahanna, Marshall said, “I totally agree with coach Campolo that our main strength is our quickness. Our top seven batters are really fast and that speed not only helps when we run the bases, it also helps cover ground in the field, which is a big boost for us. “This has been a great experience this year and really during my four years here at Gahanna Lincoln. I love that softball is a team sport and not an individual sport because you grow and blend as a team. Softball has made me more patient and an all-around better person. It has made it possible for me to further my education next year at Miami and definitely changed my life.” For Campolo, Marshall and the rest of the Gahanna softball team, one goal has been reached as they have qualified for the state tournament. Winning is the next and the ultimate goal. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

Rivage Atlantique off to commendable start My anonymous eating cover was almost blown when I was fingered by a friend in a new seafood-centric restaurant. See, my pal lives close to that establishment, and like most locals in the busy eatery that evening, she could barely contain her gushing enthusiasm for her new, walkable, upscale-casual dining option. Fortunately, I was able to shush her with shrimp and grits before she caused a scene. Rivage Atlantique — a fussily Frenched-up way of saying “Atlantic Coast” — is the restaurant in question. Taking over the former Caffe Daniela spot in Worthington, it’s the well-performing result of a veteran East Coast chef and the owners of the Grandview Cafe. The space has undergone a makeover, mostly by eradicating the cafeteria-like setup in the wood-burning-oven-equipped front room (Rivage makes good pizzas). And though the place is still “show up in shorts if you want” casual, overall it’s

Still, even there, sound levels can soar on busy nights as noise bounces off a tile floor. Lastly, there’s an accommodating back room with its own menu (though you can order from both menus, if you ask) and a completely different vibe. Actually called the Back Room, it’s basically a modern, upscale sports pub. Once you’re seated, Rivage demonstrates it wants to be taken seriously with its bread service. Specifically, a warm and OK loaf was considerably enlivened by a tripartite dish bearing a nice tapenade (chopped black olives, capers and

These lovelies are available either as a starter (two scallops, $13) or an entree ($25), in which you get four massive scallops plus two sides such as buttery baby veggies and irresistibly cheesy potatoes. The Low Country Shrimp and Grits ($18) were just that: five plump and sweet shrimp atop a bounteous bowl of creamy and stiff white grits. The only flourishes were a couple of discs of smoky andouille sausage (I would’ve liked more) plus drizzles of melted butter with garlic. With an opening game plan that suggests “don’t mess with freshness,” Rivage looks to be off to a commendable start. I can see why the neighborhood is gushing.
Ohio burrito chain hot for the Columbus market A Dayton burrito chain will enter the hotly contested local market with plans to build 10 stores over the next 12 months. Matt Curtis, area developer and head of construction for Hot Head Burritos, will be the chain’s first central Ohio franchisee, opening a store at 1509 Hilliard-Rome Road. The restaurant, slated to open by the end of July, will occupy 1,800 square feet of space in a new outparcel in front of Meijer. The difference between Hot Head and the rest is diversity, said Curtis, who’s been with the company since it was founded in 2007. “Certainly, it’s competitive, but we believe our freshness, our quality of ingredients, certainly our
choice of meats and toppings offer something a little bit more than some of our competitors may provide,” he said. Similar to its competitors, it offers steak, chicken and pork, but it also features a ground beef option, plus spicy chicken and steak, and 13 sauces, ranging from mild to hot. There is no alcohol. Yet it follows the quick-serve burrito model: a limited menu, counter-order service and inexpensive prices. Burrito prices start at $5.99. Curtis said several franchisees will open additional stores in the Columbus market, but other

sites have yet to be identified. Hot Head was founded by Ray and Cynde Wiley, also Subway franchisees. There are nine corporate-owned Hot Head stores in the Dayton area, with another nine franchised locations in Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Ray Wiley said he intends to open one more corporate store and have the rest opened by franchisees. Mr. Wiley said he hopes to have 50 new locations open by the end of 2012 and double that number each year following in the foreseeable future. Godofai Tgiorgis soon will flex the flax. Tgiorgis plans to open Flaxella, a small beverage shop that will use flaxseed in some form in all of the drinks, by mid-June in downtown Columbus. Flaxella will take over the 400-square-foot stand-alone building at 89 E. Long St., where L’Appat Patisserie and Café was supposed to open but never did. Tgiorgis said there will be limited seating inside his restaurant. The beverage list will consist of three different styles: coffee, juices and smoothies, costing between $2.50 and $3.99, depending on the size. There will be some light snacks made of flaxseed, but no menu, Tgiorgis said. The original Flaxella Café & Deli opened in 2007 in Bethesda, Md. Founder Alem WoldeHawariat said flaxseed is used in a variety of products, including cereal, snack bars, trail mixes and muffins. “But used in a coffee format and in beverages with special recipes is something new,” she said. Tgiorgis, who is a franchisee, said the flaxseed

A native of Ethiopia, he said flaxseed is a dietary staple, used in long journeys and fasting practices. He said he chose downtown because of the abundance of foot traffic and the healthy dining habits of many city workers.
