Council entertaining options on Lane Entertainment district seen as economically positive; members want details By CHRIS BOURNEA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The creation of an entertainment district along Lane Avenue is one of the hotly debated topics that came up during a May 25 public meeting to discuss traffic and parking issues in the area. Upper Arlington City Council is expected to address the entertainment district issue at its June 13 meeting. Royboy LLC filed an application with the city May 13 requesting the creation of a Community Entertainment District
for a 39.2-acre area along Lane Avenue bordered by North Star Road on the east and Northwest Boulevard on the west. Royboy LLC is the owner of the property that inMatt Shad cludes Half Price Books and Pizza Hut at 1375 W. Lane Ave. and 1397 W. Lane Ave., respectively, said Matt Shad, deputy city manager for economic development. If the city approves the application, the
entertainment district would allow up to eight “D-5j” liquor permits, which allow the sale of beer, wine or liquor in the district. City council president Frank Ciotola forwarded a letter recommending the district’s approval to fellow council members. “It will add three new licenses (for) a total of eight licenses to that district, which is pretty much the Lane Avenue corridor,” Ciotola said. “That’s one of the vital corridors in the city. It will help promote economic development.”
Other council members said they are supportive of the entertainment district concept as an economic development tool, but want to evaluate the details of the current proposal before making a decision. “It offers an opportunity for economic development, which has been an emphasis for this council for the past three or four years,” said Mary Ann Krauss, council vice president. Wade Steen could not be reached for comment by deadline, and David DeCapua said he’s still evaluating the propos-
al and declined comment. Erik Yassenoff said he has long been a supporter of entertainment districts, but wants to learn the details of the Lane Avenue application. “You do strongly have to look at the issue in detail before you make a decision,” Yassenoff said. Debbie Johnson said the creation of an entertainment district could help the city take a holistic approach to development along Lane Avenue. See LANE, page A2

Each year, the faculty chooses the recipient Arthur McCullough award, given to the best student in the class. The faculty couldn’t choose just one student this year, however, and for the first time will give the award to four students, to be announced at commencement, Greenhill said. “I think it shows the depth of this class,” he said. The class also was gifted athletically, he said. The girls swim team won their seventh straight state championship in 2011. The boys and girls lacrosse teams are in contention for state championships. “It’s a renaissance class,” he said. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
Retail spaces filling up at Kingsdale Shopping Center By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
After years of sitting mostly vacant, the revitalization of Kingsdale has resulted in a full house. “Our retail space is now completely full, with only one 2,800-square-foot space left,” Continental Real Estate retail development broker Steve Siegel said.
“When we purchased (Kingsdale), every current tenant signed a new lease, and we’re really thrilled with everyone’s commitment.” Of the final retail storefronts to be built out, four new businesses will be opening at Kingsdale by the end of 2011. These include Coldwell Banker King Thompson (opening June 7), Nutter Hardware (anticipated opening in August), Urgent

LANE Continued from page A1 “It will allow for collaboration among all the establishments along the Lane Avenue corridor and help with the redevelopment of that area,� Johnson said. “Issues such as parking will be able to be addressed more easily if the area is looked at as a whole.� Ed Seidel said he supported the creation of an entertainment district at the Kingsdale Shopping Center a few years ago, but wants to find out more about the Lane Avenue proposal before making up his mind. “I looked at the last entertainment district favorably and I would be predisposed to think of this one favorably,� Seidel said. “I would want to hear from anyone who opposed it before I make a decision.� Judging from residents’ comments at the May 25 public meeting, there very well might be plenty of opposition to a new entertainment district along Lane Avenue. Residents of Brandon and Chester roads and other nearby streets have complained to the city that patrons of the Wine Bistro at 1750 W. Lane Ave. have caused congestion and parking problems in their neighborhoods. Council is currently considering an ordinance to repeal parking-by-permit-only on Brandon, Chester and nearby streets and has commissioned consulting firm AECOM to complete a traffic and parking study for the area. AECOM convened the May 25 public meeting to gather residents’ input. Chester Road resident Nancy Andreano said she wants to know how the entertainment district could be repealed if council ap-

CENTER proves it. Allowing more liquor licenses in the area would exacerbate the parking problems that began with the Wine Bistro, she said. “Is there an appeal process, given that it’s taking away residents’ rights?� Andreano said. “Anything that takes away residents’ rights, there should be an alternative process.� The entertainment district could not be taken to referendum by citizens since it would likely be created by council’s administrative action, as was the Kingsdale entertainment district, said city attorney Jeanine Hummer. “Once you establish it, it’s an administrative act� rather than a law that can be repealed through referendum, Hummer said. She said she has not yet researched whether council would have the ability to reverse its decision and remove an entertainment district after it’s been created. Council could, however, choose to create the Lane Avenue entertainment district through the legislative process rather than by administrative act, Hummer added. “They can choose to do three readings. They can choose to suspend the rules� and pass it as emergency legislation, she said. Whatever council chooses to do at its June 13 meeting regarding the entertainment district, the Lane Avenue traffic and parking study will not be completed until nearly a month later. AECOM representative Pete Seckler said during the May 25 meeting that he and other consultants plan to return to Upper Arlington to gather more public input during the week of June 20 and complete the study by mid-July.
Continued from page A1 president Jerry White said. “The consumer experience is going to be nice with this more efficient space, putting all the agents on one level.� White said that they have been looking to move to a more modern location for a few years, but because of the King Thompson history with Upper Arlington, they wanted to wait for something central to the city, not on the periphery. “Real estate is a more mobile environment now, so we are building the real estate office of the future,� White said. “We are a residential-only office that wants to grow in place and honor the tradition that King Thompson started here.� Chuck Nutter, owner of Nutter Handyman Services and now Nutter Hardware, agrees that being in the center of the city is very important. “We’re only focusing on the two- to three-mile radius of Upper Arlington residents for our customers,� Nutter said. “I’m all for this being a very locally focused hardware store. “When we were working on how to fund the business, we ended up getting several of our existing (handyman) customers to be investors. Having people in the community investing with local businesses creates even more community ownership and I believe will snowball into good things.�
Nutter said that he was originally negotiating to build the store at Tremont Center when the Kingsdale redevelopment presented the current opportunity. “I’d say Kingsdale has had a successful heart transplant, having gone from ghost town to having parking problems,� Nutter said. “This is a tremendous opportunity for us. Continental has done an extraordinary job and has been fabulous to work with.� Nutter Hardware will be a part of the Ace Hardware co-operative, providing Nutter with access to discount pricing and a wide variety of products, he said. Besides these retail developments, the city and Continental have completed the land transfer of the Kingsdale office parcel, per the Performance to Development Agreement. This agreement gives Continental three years of exclusive marketing of the parcel for office development, according to city documents. “This is a step in the process that we knew was coming with the completion of Phase 1,� deputy city manager for community affairs Emma Speight said. “The hope is for offices to be built and filled there, so we’ll see if the market for that is as strong (as it was for the retail).� According to Shad, the city anticipates that the office parcel, fully developed, would net an additional $400,000 in annual income tax revenue.

Henry Miller family home featured on this year’s House and Garden tour

history come alive
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The home of Susan and Paul Berg at 1860 Cambridge Boulevard was built in 1920 by James T. Miller for his son Henry and his family. Henry Miller’s daughter Esther Miller recently toured the home. “She’s 93,” said Kate Erstein of the Upper Arlington Historical Society about Miller. “She lived in the house until she was 13. She hasn’t seen it or been in the house for 80 years.” Childhood memories flooded back during Esther’s visit, including the family’s pet alligator. “It was fun to have her go through the house and tell us stories,” Susan Berg said. “She remembered the house being mostly the same. She seemed OK with all the changes we made.” Many things stayed the same, such as the lattice work bench in the entry and the tile surround of the dining room fireplace. In 1999, the Bergs moved into the English Country Revival style home that is notable for its asymmetrical windows. They quickly refurbished the family room; remodeled the kitchen; added a mud room and a second floor master suite. “We’ve updated the electrical, the plumbing and added air conditioning,” Berg said. “I feel like there’s nothing we haven’t done. We redid the landscaping this past year in the front. It’s an old house - it just feels like there’s always something that needs attention.” In addition, the Bergs tore out a circular driveway that was in front of the house and redid the back driveway onto Stanford Road as well.

Despite all the changes, Berg said, “We really didn’t alter the footprint of the house much at all. It all went pretty well, no major surprises, but I’m not sure I’d recommend living in the house while it was going on.” After living in Detroit for a decade, Berg said she enjoys living in UA. “I love being in proximity to Miller Park and the library and the kids being able to walk to and
from school was always really attractive. I like the feel of the whole neighborhood with the large trees, the neighbors - all good stuff.” Berg said she wasn’t sure if she’ll be home for the Home and Garden tour. “Someone will be here. I don’t know that it will be me. I have a large dog and I don’t know where I’m taking him yet.” gbudzak@thisweeknews.com

Chair donations sought for Hastings anniversary To the editor: Hastings Middle School is turning 50. As a way to celebrate this special occasion, we are embarking on an “Adopt-a-Chair” campaign that will help us restore the existing chairs in the auditorium. Our Hastings auditorium has been home to many special events. In addition to the memorable school productions, musical performances and ceremonies, it has been available for community events, including the outstanding Veteran’s Day program.
We would like to encourage our community, both individuals and businesses, to take part in this transformation and consider adopting a single chair or group of chairs. For each chair that is adopted, a nameplate will be installed on the back of the chair with the inscription of your choice. We believe this is a wonderful way to recognize or honor an individual, business, or organization. You may also consider memorializing a special person. To become a become a per-
manent part of the legacy of Hastings Middle School, the adoption form may be found on the Hastings website, or may also be picked up at the school office. All financial contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Thank you very much for your consideration and your support of our Adopt-a-Chair campaign. Lauren Schooley Schuermann Amy Chope Whalen Co-chairs, Adopt-a-Chair Campaign
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 incubators and entrepreneurial centers are nearing capacity in Columbus, Dublin and New Albany, driven by 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 innovaKENNY tion capital to the MCDONALD fuel growth of their businesses. This is a 73-percent 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!

At the beginning of May, COTA split the route to avoid confusion. The service between Upper Arlington and Ohio State University is renamed the No. 84 Arlington/OSU. According to COTA, the span of service and frequency is not changed, but the alignment is slightly modified. The route starts at the Kingsdale Shopping Center; goes south on Northwest Boulevard; east on Lane Avenue; south on North Star Road; east and south on Northwest; east on Chambers Road; north on Kenny Road; east on Woody Hayes Drive and south on Tuttle Park Place to 17th Avenue. The return route
Zollinger and Tremont roads. The other two bus lines are: No. 80 OSU/Lennox, with service between Lennox Town Center and Ohio State. No. 82 Grandview/OSU, with service between Grandview Heights and OSU. COTA spokeswoman Beth Berkemer said that before the split, “if you wanted to get to Lennox, you’d have to get off at a certain point and be on the right bus that stops there, and that would be distinguished by a letter next to that number on the bus. “Now to make it a little bit less confusing, the No. 84 says it’s going from Arlington to OSU, the No. 82 would be going from Grandview to OSU, and then there is the No. 80 which is OSU to Lennox.” Berkemer said the No. 84 is a popular route for people who
COTA makes service changes three times a year — in January, May and September — and its planning department constantly evaluates those changes, she said. With gas prices hitting $4 a gallon earlier this spring, COTA is seeing a spike in ridership, Berkemer said, up 7.5-percent this year, and increases the last three years. Thanks to a levy passage in 2006, COTA is adding 40 new, fuel-efficient buses a year and expanding service, Berkemer said. “Even though the economy has been horrible, and a lot of transportation agencies nationally have been cutting routes and service areas, we are doing wonderful,” she said.

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 facility 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 Shelter 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.”

OSU master’s class gives communities ideas on managing social media services By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When Ohio State University professor David Landsbergen was looking for a service project for his Public Management Information Systems class, he didn’t have to leave his own neighborhood. “David is (an Upper Arlington) resident, who reached out to us to see if there was a possibility of doing a real-world project that would be mutually beneficial to our work and to his students,” said Emma Speight, deputy city manager for community affairs. “A group of area public community affairs managers have been meeting for years, and we were just about to be a part of a MORPC (Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission)-hosted social media event, so it seemed like perfect timing.” Landsbergen’s students participated in the April MORPC meeting along with representatives of Canal Winchester, Columbus, Dublin, Franklin County, Gahan-
na, Grove City, New Albany, Powell, Westerville, Worthington and Upper Arlington. The master’s level class focuses on the use of technology in public-sector management. Social media technologies such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have a wide set of legal implications, according to Landsbergen, who also teaches law, along with the technologies’opportunities for innovative public interaction and feedback. The students worked with the group of community affairs representatives to document current social media usage, policies, tools and risks, and to research possible future opportunities. “We were fortunate to meet this group of public-sector professionals who were willing to give us some of their time and let us in on their ideas and issues,” Landsbergen said. “This network (of professionals) is really strong and shares really well. We needed people to work with and students willing to break out of the mold of just
reading textbooks.” Dublin public information officer Megan Canavan said that Dublin was very fortunate to have this opportunity to work with the students. “Social media seems to be constantly evolving. Looking at the analysis done by the students gives us a viewpoint we might not otherwise have had the resources to see,” Canavan said. “It’s always worth looking at what we’re doing, and what other communities are doing to see if we’re being effective.” Several of the community affairs group members agreed that the research has been valuable. “We are a smaller residential community and still mostly rely on traditional media outreach with our residents, but we need to plan ahead,” said Scott McAfee, New Albany public information officer. “The class is wrapping up and will be providing us a report on issues for communities, who is doing what and a set of possible benchmarks for future planning,”
Landsbergen said that, since OSU is a land-grant institution, it is a part of the school’s mission to give back to the community. “I look for projects that meet our three primary missions of teaching, research and service,” Landsbergen said. “This project hits all three beautifully. The (students and I) appreciate when you can put theory to action. We will present all of our research to the group next week and then we can have discussions about how we might move forward (with the project).” Westerville’s community affairs administrator, Christa Dickey, said that the project is a step toward establishing central Ohio as a leader in community use of social media. Speight said she is looking forward to where the recommendations lead. “I hope these recommendations from the students lead to new projects and new opportunities, that this wasn’t the beginning and the end of our work together,” she said.

LESSON Time Machine” presentation last October at a conference for science educators. Joseph thought it would be an excellent way for the sixth-graders to celebrate their two-month unit on energy. “I talked with the principal and wrote some grants. Hastings PTO and the Upper Arlington Education Association provided the funding,” Joseph said. “This wouldn’t have been possible if they hadn’t provided us the money.” In addition to the presentation, Carnegie also brought several hands-on “adventure stations,” which allowed students to explore concepts such as sustainability and climate change. At one station, students had their own oceans filled with rubber fish. A Carnegie representative directed students to remove fish due to fishing or pollution, or to add fish due to reproduction. “It showed if you take too many fish away from one part of the ocean, then there would be none left,” Allocco said. “But if you leave some fish, then the fish left would reproduce.” Another station allowed students to examine worms using flashlights. “We learned that worms are afraid of light. When you turn the light on, they run away,” said Mary Lee Fenner. Miller’s worm wasn’t as fearful. “I could see its five parts,” he said. “The light shines through the whole entire worm, except for the organs.” Science teachers also organized energy-related games. One was a matching game that required students to match complementary energy concepts and terms. “My card said ‘the color that absorbs heat,’”Allocco said. “And Mary Lee’s said, ‘black.’” Joseph said she hoped Energy Day would help students understand how science “ties straight to everyday life.” “This isn’t one of those ‘where am I going to use this?’ things,” she said. “Energy is everywhere.” khetrick@thisweeknews.com www.thisweeknews.com

STATE CHAMPIONS Boys Tennis
Golden Bears’ Little, Weldon defend title By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Eric George/ThisWeek
Upper Arlington’s Stu Little (above) and Billy Weldon defeated Mason’s Miguel Cepeda and Luke Tsai 6-3, 6-1 on May 28 to win their second consecutive Division I state doubles title.
By Eric George/ThisWeek
Senior Billy Weldon and sophomore Stu Little of the Upper Arlington High School boys tennis team used their experience to meet the challenge of defending their Division I state doubles championship. They repeated as state champion by defeating Mason’s Miguel Cepeda and Luke Tsai 6-3, 6-1 in the state final on May 28 at Hilliard Davidson. “From the get-go, we executed our game plan really well,” Weldon said. “We were pumped up and really solid at the net, which is one of the best things you can do. With this being my senior year, it’s pretty gratifying going out by repeating our state title.” “It’s a really special thing,” Little said. “When you look at the list of state champions, there are not a lot of repeats there.” Weldon and Little became the first doubles team to repeat as state champion since Cincinnati Sycamore’s Scott Marshall and Brad Goldberg won three consecutive titles from 1991-93. Weldon, who placed fourth at state in doubles in 2009 with graduate James Melvin, became the first UA player to make it to the second day of the state tournament in three consecutive seasons since Sam Sebastian placed second in singles in 1987 and won the doubles championship with David Whetzel in 1988 and won the doubles title with John Leach in 1989. Last season, Weldon and Little lost only one set in the sectional, district and state tournaments. This year, three of their final six matches went to a third set. They were seeded third at state after losing to Dublin Jerome’s Kent Seitz and Sean Stein 6-4, 46, 6-4 in a district semifinal. Weldon and Little opened state by beating Perrysburg’s Jeffrey Schorsch and David Hoops 6-4,

6-2 in the first round. They then held off Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit’s Garrett Cona and Matt Spittler 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (8-6) in a quarterfinal and Centerville’s Brad Boll and Reuben Geeraert 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-4 in a semifinal. “(The district loss) really made us refocus,” Weldon said. “We had to be even more prepared than we would have been.” “Pulling out the semifinal like we did gave us a lot of confidence,” Little said. “Even though we won it last year, we have a lot to prove. We showed everyone we’re still here.” The state championship is UA’s 16 in doubles, the most by any school. The Golden Bears also have six titles in singles. Weldon and Little were hoping they would play their teammates, senior Eric Vannatta and sophomore Nate Wallace, in the state final. Vannatta and Wallace defeated Lakewood St. Edward’s Jeffrey Williams and Mike Swartz 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 in the first round at state before losing to Cepeda and Tsai 7-6, (7-4), 6-1 in a quarterfinal. “They had great ground strokes and hit tough balls from the baseline,” Wallace said of Cepeda and Tsai. “We tried to get to the net, but we missed some volleys and that ended up costing us. They hit some great shots and opened us up.” “For the last couple of years, See TENNIS, page B4

Girls squad cruises into state semifinal By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Upper Arlington High School girls lacrosse team has had little trouble scoring so far this postseason, and the Golden Bears hope that trend continues in the Division I state tournament. UA, which improved to 15-4 and advanced to state with a 20-11 win over Cincinnati Sycamore in a South/Central Region final on May 26, is averaging 19.3 goals through its first three postseason games. “We have a lot of depth this year,” junior attacker Sally Holbert said. “You look at the box scores this year and you can see we have six or seven people who are getting into the game and scoring. That helps us out a lot.” Adriane Ghidotti led the way against Sycamore with four goals. Holbert and Sam Farwick each had three goals and Megan
Hansel, Rachel Marsh and Erin Steen scored two apiece. The 20 goals marked the most Sycamore has allowed the past nine seasons. “We’ve played them before and we knew their offense and their defense,” coach Kim Rocheleau said. “We knew what it would take to slow down their offense. We wanted to make sure we were matched up solidly against them and ended up being a more solid team.” UA will play Thomas Worthington or Hudson in a state semifinal on Friday, June 3, at Gates Mills Hawken. Thomas and Hudson played in a North/Central Region final on May 31. The semifinal winner plays New Albany, Cleveland Heights or Medina in the state final on Saturday, June 4, at Hawken.

UA’s Menden, Jaffe advance to state meet By PAUL BATTERSON
At a glance
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Chances are that junior Olivia Menden and freshman Dorry Jaffe of the Upper Arlington High School girls track and field team are helping each other prepare this week for the Division I state meet. Both will be competing in a distance event in the state meet on Saturday, June 4, at Ohio State. Jaffe qualified for state in the 3,200 meters by placing second in 11 minutes, 9.75 seconds at the regional meet held May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North, and Menden advanced to state in the both the 1,600 (third, 5:06.95) and 800 (fourth, 2:18.05). The top four finishers in each regional event advanced to state. “Olivia and I have a good, mutual relationship,” said Jaffe, one of two freshmen to qualify for state in the 3,200. “She pushes me and I push her. We’re always practicing together. Olivia is such a good runner and that helps me race better.” The girls team scored 24 points at regional to finish eighth of the 40 teams that scored, behind champion Reynoldsburg (88). Jaffe, who finished behind Hilliard Davidson’s Jessica Hoover (11:05.36) at regional, is the first UA runner to qualify for state in the event since Kaitlyn Peale placed seventh (11.06.71) in 2007. “I don’t know what to expect,” Jaffe said. “I’ve been looking at some of the other times in the area. But when it comes time to race, I don’t know what is going to happen.”

Upper Arlington’s Leigh Anne Drake (left) and Halle Trabue take off at the start of relays May 25 at the Division I regional meet. Drake and the 800 relay finished eighth, and Trabue and the 1,600 relay were seventh. Neither relay advanced to state.
As a three-time state qualifier, Menden has a good idea about what to expect at state. As a freshman in 2009, she finished 14th in the 1,600 (5:25.95) while battling the flu, and she teamed with Leah Moody, Sarah Hobbs and Bethany Yunker to place 11th in the 3,200 relay (9:27.17). Last season, the same foursome
placed 11th in 9:34.1. To get back to state in the 1,600 this year, Menden had to overcome a tight pack of runners at regional to finish third. “I freaked out because I was in the inside lane and I got kind of clustered,” she said. “I tried to get around. I was just not in the right spot, but I’m just glad
it worked out OK. It just shows that you can’t always plan on everything.” Menden is seeded 13th at state in the 1,600 and 16th in the 800. “I’ve always been able to compete, but this year I’m in such a better place,” she said. “I was stronger this year, so I could actually compete with some of the
great girls.” •The boys team did not have any state qualifiers.

I think he could be one of the best long jumpers in the area next year.” Also at regional, Epitropoulos finished 13th in the 400 (52.09), and Ben Kompa was 10th in the discus (131-10).

Wellington Roundup
Wagner falls to Diaz in state tennis final By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Senior Ian Wagner of the Wellington School boys tennis team was quite familiar with his opponent heading into the final of the Division II state singles tournament on May 28 at Hilliard Davidson. Unfortunately for Wagner, that didn’t help much, as he lost to Watterson senior Chris Diaz 61, 6-0. “I didn’t feel like I played badly, but Chris didn’t miss a thing,” said Wagner, who finished the season 18-3, with all three losses against Diaz. “You have to do everything perfectly just to win one point, and you’d have to do that point after point after point.” Diaz, an Ohio State recruit who finished his prep career with a 921 singles record, also won the Division II state singles title last season and teamed with his brother, Philip, to win the Division I state doubles title in 2008. The Diaz brothers were the state runners-
up in Division I doubles in 2009. Wagner, who plays with Diaz about two or three times a week, said it’s difficult to find a weakness in his game. “Since I’m losing to him, I’m always trying to come up with new things to try to do, but you know you are going to have to play your best to have a chance to beat him,” said Wagner, who lost to Diaz 6-1, 6-0 in the district final on May 21 and 6-3, 7-6 in a sectional final on May 14. “He never misses. “He makes probably 80 percent of his first serves so you can’t attack his second serve. He’s so good at keeping the ball like an inch from the serve line. He never lets you get a streak going so you feel like you can take control of the match.” Wagner didn’t lose a set in his first three matches at state, defeating Canton Central Catholic’s Colin Bernier 6-4, 6-1 in the first round, Sidney Lehman Catholic’s Christian Henderson 6-1, 6-1 in a quarterfinal and Tipp City
Tippecanoe’s James Trevino 6-1, 6-1 in a semifinal. In four seasons, Wagner made it to the second day of the state tournament three times, placing fourth as a freshman and third as a sophomore. The Emory College-signee is glad he made it to the final once. “My sophomore year I was really close,” Wagner said, referring to a 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (8-6) loss to Mark Goldberg of Beachwood in a semifinal. “So this was really satisfying.” Wellington, which finished 74 under first-year coach Tom Haddow, loses three seniors in Wagner, David Nassau and Leo Pedicelli but expects to return junior Aashish Katapadi, sophomores Will Gross and Vishal Sharoff and freshmen Lincoln Ficek and Shabach Tyus. “Those seniors fostered a teamfirst environment,” Haddow said. “All three of them supported the team throughout the season.” •The girls lacrosse team’s pattern of starting games slowly

caught up with it in the Division II South/Central Region tournament on May 24 in Cincinnati, as Cincinnati Indian Hill jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first five minutes en route to a 12-7 win over the Jaguars. “Sometimes we can climb out of that hole, and sometimes we can’t. This was one of the times we couldn’t,” said coach Liz Clapacs, whose team finished 11-5 overall. “All year we were in the
habit of playing a really weak first half and we’d come to life and battle in the second half. “We’ve tried to change that and alter our warm-ups but that might be the mentality of the team. We’re prone to slow starts.” Wellington tied Hartley for second in the Central Independent League at 5-2, behind Columbus Academy (7-0) and ahead of Columbus School for Girls (4-2) and Watterson (3-3), DeSales (1-
6) and Granville (1-6). A postponed game between CSG and Watterson was not rescheduled. The Jaguars lose six seniors in attacker Rachael Buckingham, midfielders Grace Korandovich and defenders Helen Fite, McKenzie Morse, Elaine Poon and Anna Viragh.

State Cup Soccer
Six area boys teams, two girls teams win titles By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
There was speculation that central Ohio boys teams’ dominance in the Ohio South State Cup club soccer tournament was nearing its end last year when only four area squads won championships in the Under-10 through U18 age brackets. That marked the lowest number of boys teams to win championships in those age groups this century. But after six Columbus-area boys teams won State Cup finals May 15 and 22 at Hobson Freedom Park in Fairborn, Team Ohio F.C. director and coach Steve Dawson said he was optimistic that last year was an aberration. The boys and girls U-19 State Cup finals are scheduled for Sunday, June 5, at Athletes in Action in Xenia. “Columbus teams did very well, especially when you consider how many clubs there are here diluting the talent and how much competition our clubs get for top players from the Crew Soccer Academy,” Dawson said. “CUP (Crew Juniors), based out of Cincinnati, is the biggest club in Ohio right now, and they don’t lose any players to the Academy. But Columbus teams have more than held their own in the State Cup in recent years, including this year, and we hope to keep that trend going in the future.” Team Ohio F.C. added to its stature as the most successful central Ohio boys soccer club since 2000. It won
two more State Cup championships, increasing its total to 27 in 11 years. The Team Ohio F.C. Blast U-18 boys was trailing the Metro F.C. Rapids 10 with 20 minutes remaining in its State Cup final on May 15, before Colton Bloecher, Walter Ford and Max Rohda scored to help their squad rally for the victory. “Our U-18 team is a very resilient group, and they haven’t lost a game since March 1,” Dawson said. “Even when we were down late in the game, they always believed they were going to find a way to win.” The Team Ohio F.C. Green U-17 boys team won its first State Cup title in four years, after losing in a final two years ago and in a semifinal last year. Team Ohio Green upset the Blast F.C. 1-0 in a State Cup final on May 15, as Sam Darling scored and A.J. Tresoline earned the shutout in goal. The Blast won a Regional Cup and finished fifth in the national tournament two years ago. “Our U-17 team winning this tournament was a big shock because we lost a lot of players over the past few years and this is the weakest team on paper that we’ve had in three years,” Dawson said. “We beat the No. 1 seed (CUP Crew Juniors 3-2) in the semifinals and then beat the No. 2 seed in the finals. Sam Darling had two goals in the semifinal and scored against the Blast. But the key thing was our defense was phenomenal and turned in a gritty effort.”

The Blast F.C. U-12 boys team beat Team Ohio F.C. 3-2 in a State Cup final on May 22 to win its second State Cup title in three years. In its four State Cup games, the Blast outscored its opponents 13-2. “This is a good group of kids who love to play together and have a lot of heart and passion for the game,” Blast F.C. director and coach Lesh Shkreli said. “They shocked everyone, including me, by playing with the energy that they played with. We had a 3-0 lead in
the final until there was about eight minutes left, and then our kids got a little too excited and we let up a bit. But overall I’m very happy with the way we played.” Two area clubs captured their first State Cup titles, as the GNA F.C. Revolution U-10 squad defeated Warren County United 8-7 on May 22 and the Classics Eagles U-13 team beat Crew Juniors 1-0 on penalty kicks on May 22. The Ohio Premier Eagles 2 U-11 boys team beat Ohio Premier Eagles 1 7-4 in overtime in a State Cup final on May 22. The Ohio Premier Eagles club has won three boys State Cup championships in the past two years. “We had two really good boys teams at the U-11 age level and they played a great game in the final, which was a win-win situation for our club,” Ohio Premier Eagles director and coach Chris King said. Shkreli, who has guided at least one Blast team to a State Cup championship for seven consecutive years, said the dominant run for central Ohio’s boys teams could end at any time, but he’s enjoying it while it lasts. “There’s a lot of talent and good coaching in Columbus, but honestly, the teams from around the state beat each other in league play all year,” Shkreli said. “It just goes in cycles. Columbus teams did really well in the State Cup this year, but the teams from Cincinnati and Dayton could win more State Cups next year. It’s youth soccer and kids are kids.”
•Two central Ohio girls teams won State Cup titles this season. The Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 squad beat Hammer F.C. Premier 2-1 in overtime in a final on May 22 and the Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 squad defeated the Blast F.C. 1-0 in a final on May 15. “The tide of which area wins the most State Cups has gone back and forth on the girls side,” King said. “There’s a lot of parity these days, so the days of seeing one area of the state dominating for several years are over. We had one of our girls teams reach the semifinals in every age group, but the margin for error is very small and you need to not only be good, but you also need to be a little lucky to win at this level.” The Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 team won its second consecutive State Cup title on Kristin McFarland’s goal in overtime. The Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 team won its fourth State Cup title as Lindsey Agnew scored the winning goal against the Blast off an assist by Kaitlin Miller. Last year, the Ohio Premier Eagles lost to the Blast 1-0 on penalty kicks in a State Cup final. “Our U-16 team is very good and after we lost to the Blast last year, our focus was on taking back what was ours,” King said. “Lindsey Agnew had a couple of good scoring opportunities and our back line was very good.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Upper Arlington’s Eric Vannatta (left) and Nate Wallace lost in the second round of the Division I state doubles tournament.
TENNIS Continued from page B1 we’ve only had one (doubles) team (at state), and to get two doubles (teams) here is a big step forward for the program,” Vannatta said. “It was our goal to get as many people through to state as we could. Getting two doubles teams on to the state tournament accomplished that.” UA, which had its highest number of state qualifiers since 2002, won its 29th league title this season by going 7-0 in the OCC-Central Division and fin-
ishing the league tournament on May 7 with 82 points, sweeping all five courts. Thomas Worthington (6-1, 60) was second in the league, followed by Dublin Coffman (5-2, 59), Davidson (4-3, 41), Worthington Kilbourne (3-4, 40), Hilliard Darby (2-5, 27), Westland (1-6, 10) and Central Crossing (0-7, 1). Although UA repeated as league champion, it was not able to defend its OTCA Division I state team title, as the Bears lost to New Albany 3-2 in the first round of the tournament on April 20.
UA loses three seniors in Vannatta, Weldon and Bryan Wang but expects to return Little, Wallace, sophomore Brandon Griffin and freshman Jeffrey Melvin. “The seniors were all different but they had the ability to inspire their teammates,” coach Amos Allison said. “We have a strong group of underclassmen. We’re going to have a team that has all juniors and sophomores next year.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
WELLINGTON Continued from page B3 goals and was first-team all-region and second-team all-state. Viragh was second-team all-region. “More than anything, we’re going to miss (the seniors’) experience,” Clapacs said. “They were tremendous leaders on the
field. They carried the emotion of the team.” Expected to return are juniors Abby Chester, Sejal Crouser,Abigail Kulewicz and Paige Price, sophomores Kayla Barton, Leah Buckingham and Meleah Moore and freshmen Emily Bichsel, Kate Brailer, Nia Kaudo, Natalie Morse
and Mallory Tannous. Chester, who scored 44 goals, was second-team all-region and Price, who was moved from the midfield to goalkeeper, was honorable mention. pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
North/Central Region final on May 31, with the winner playing New Albany in a state semifinal on Friday, June 3. UA, which beat Hudson 11-8 in a semifinal last year before losing to Medina 17-9 in the championship game, has played all its potential state opponents this season. The Bears defeated Thomas 13-9 on April 5 and 11-7 on May 9 and beat Medina 10-6 on April 30, but they lost to Hudson 12-9 on April 29, New Albany 11-10 in overtime on April 19 and Cleveland Heights 11-6 on April 30. “Obviously, it would be great to get to have three central Ohio teams in the state tournament, but we really don’t have any preference as to who we would play,” Rocheleau said. Thomas, which was 14-4 before playing Hudson, had allowed an average of six goals a game in its previous seven games, while the Explorers, who were 14-2 before playing the Cardinals, had allowed only 13 goals in their previous four games. “It’s always difficult to beat a team like Thomas three times in a row, but we think we can do it,” Holbert said. “I’d like to get another chance against Hudson. We didn’t play very well against them the first time.” New Albany improved to 153 with a 9-3 win over Mason in a South/Central Region final on May 26. Entering their matchup, Cleveland Heights and Medina were 10-6 and 13-2, respectively. •The boys team’s streak of 19 consecutive Division I state final appearances ended with a 10-4 loss to Worthington Kilbourne in a Central Region final on May 28.

Zach Powers was first-team all-Midwest and all-league and Pfister was honorable mention all-MSLCA.
16-2 overall. “I don’t think we expected that kind of result, but we definitely expected a good ballgame,” coach Ted Wolford said. “We expect a tight ballgame every time we play them. Tonight was just their night.” Kilbourne got three goals from Charlie Bassani and Ryan Pritchett and goalkeeper Alex Wylly had 11 saves. For the Bears, senior attacker Adam Narwicz scored two goals, senior midfielder Luke Treece had a goal and an assist and junior attacker Tyler Pfister had a goal. The six-goal differential was UA’s worst margin of defeat since losing to Dublin Scioto 12-6 in the 2003 state final. The early postseason exit put a damper on a solid season for UA. After losing to Dublin Jerome 6-4 on April 24, the Bears rolled off eight consecutive victories, including a 11-10 win over Cincinnati St. Xavier on May 6 and a 11-3 win over Bloomfield Hills (Mich.)

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith is doing the interview while running across a parking lot, carrying his guitar and a suitcase. It’s a microcosm of the past couple of years for the southern California quartet. Since the release of its debut CD, North Hills, in 2009, the band has been on the road enough that Goldsmith jokes, “Time off? Ask our manager.” Not that he’s complaining, mind you. It’s what young bands do if they’re lucky enough to have a record to support. (The band’s rootsy vibe and smart, impassioned lyrics drew comparisons to the classic L.A. sound of the ’70s.) Plus, the experience served to benefit the new follow-up CD, Nothing Is Wrong, in at least two ways. First, it provided a natural incubator for a whole new set of songs. New settings and new experiences, coupled with the combination of excitement and weariness, make for incredible song fodder for a writer who admits, “I’m a big ‘inspiration’ guy.”
“The first record has a theme of wanting to get out, to experience what life has to offer,” Goldsmith explained. “This record is written from being in the thick of that experience, and maybe a little of wanting to get back.” The second benefit came in the opportunity to play new songs for audiences as they were being written. “These songs have been played on stages for a year,” Goldsmith said. “In fact, (recently) the majority of our set is new material.” Dawes made Nothing Is Wrong in a whirlwind month last fall. “We had been touring all summer and were going to be home in September and back out in October, so we told our management we wanted to make a record in September,” Goldsmith said. “Still, that was twice as long in the studio compared to our first record. So it might not seem that long, but it helped.” The record features guest turns from Benmont Tench of the Heartbreakers and Jackson Browne. At
the same time, Goldsmith was doing guest vocals on Robbie Robertson’s latest CD and the band was invited to be his backup band on a number of promotional performances. “These guys were our heroes — well before we ever met them,” Goldsmith said. “To have them support what we do is a real honor.” Officially, Nothing Is Wrong is set for release on June 7, although Dawes is taking pre-orders at shows. “There’s definitely an anticipation, an excitement, to find out what people think of it,” Goldsmith admitted. “The idea of buying a new record at the record store might be a romantic one, but you can still download a new record the day it comes out. People can still get excited about the release of a certain record.” For more from The Beat’s interview with Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.

If the boys in NEEDTOBREATHE get the presumably sizable crowds on their tour as opening act for Taylor Swift to sing and shout along with the title track of their most recent record, The Outsiders, you can thank The Beat. Or it’s possible guitarist Bo Rinehart was just being polite when he said he’d take the suggestion to the band. Either way, the southern rockers couldn’t be happier to be spending the summer with Swift. “The way we heard it is, she’s a big fan of the band,” Rinehart told us. “We were playing a show in Minneapolis and we got a phone call. We were like ‘All … right. Is this a joke?’ But they asked us if we wanted to go on tour. At that point, you’re kind of an idiot to say no.” Obvious stylistic and demographic differences aside, Rinehart admitted it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. “On any tour, you’re excited about meeting new fans,” he said. “But we figure most of her fans don’t know who we are, but they’re people we think will still like our music.” The quartet from a small South Carolina hamlet (“We’re the first band to get signed from Possum Kingdom,” Rinehart said without a hint of irony) boasts records rooted in southern roots rock, but with pop, country and arena rock influences. Despite not being overtly faith-based, NEEDTOBREATHE has also had success on the Contemporary Christian Music charts. “I suppose we’re hard to market or nail down,” Rinehart said, “but it’s a great problem to have, to not be limited. We’ve seen and toured with bands whose fans won’t let them change.” “Sure, we’d like to have a big radio smash, but right now, we don’t feel like a show is hanging

on the success of one song,” he added. “Night to night, the most popular song changes. It’s fresh and exciting.” Rinehart admitted the band’s small-town beginnings kept them a bit too humble early in their career, but that the lessons learned have paid off in increasingly improved records. “We loved what we were doing but we didn’t know what we were doing,” he confessed. “We had no good examples of how it could be done, so we were maybe too open to the ears of others. And we were maybe afraid of going outside the south, where they might not appreciate our accents or our music. “But we discovered we have to stick to our guns as far as what we wanted to present, and that was the stuff that really poked its head out — honest, heart-onsleeve songs about things that really affect you.” The band’s follow-up to The Outsiders is due out later this year. This summer tour affords NEEDTOBREATHE the opportunity to try out some of the new songs on audiences that may
not necessarily know they’re new. “On one hand, you are always in complete doubt about whether anybody is going to like what you do, but on the other hand, we’re proud of the new songs and we think we knocked it out of the park,” Rinehart said. “If (Swift’s) audiences like good music and good live bands, well, we just hope to impress them and capitalize on any of her fans that would like us.” Which brings us to the crowd participation on The Outsiders. The Beat mentioned to Rinehart that the band might be looking forward to hearing an arena full of people shouting along with one of their songs and assumed they were prepared to teach it to a, hopefully, willing audience. “Yeah, I’m about to go into rehearsal, so I’ll mention that to the guys,” was the reply. So there you go. Make sure you’re properly warmed up. For more from The Beat’s interview with Bo Rinehart of NEEDTOBREATHE, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.
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
MENU by G.A. Benton fairly appealing. Earth tones prevail as you move from the louder first room to the duskily lit and more intimate interior dining areas, where flames flicker on the hearth. 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
ically, this house-named appetizer proved uncharacteristic for Rivage, which in subsequent orders (including excellent selections from its “raw bar”) generally treated impressively fresh-tasting proteins with simplicity. Such was the case with the juicy Grilled Skirt Steak ($9) and the Baja Chile and Lime Ahi Tuna ($12) starters.

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

Tgiorgis, who is a franchisee, said the flaxseed product does not have a distinctive taste but is high in nutrients, particularly omega 3 fatty acids. 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.

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.
