Thomas Tucker has been named superintendent of the Worthington schools. Tucker, currently superintendent of Licking Heights Local School District, will begin in August. He succeeds Melissa Conrath, who is retiring after five years with the district. The Worthington Board of Education
was expected to approve a contract for Tucker during a meeting set for Wednesday, June 1. Tucker’s current salary is $120,000. His expected salary is $160,000, according
ing Heights for three years. During that time, the district received its first “excellent” designation on Ohio’s report card. He also led voters to approve additional millage to support the district, Worthington Board of Education president Marc Schare said. Worthington plans to place an operating levy on the ballot in 2012. Tom Tucker “In Licking Heights, he went into a difficult position and turned things around,” to his application.

In checking with people who have worked with Tucker in other districts, the board found that he has left a positive trail of opinions. “He has a history of success in every job he has had,” Schare said. Both the board and community panels who interviewed the top three superintendent finalists determined that Tucker shares the board’s vision of what a 21stcentury school district should be, Schare
said. “He has the fortitude and wherewithal to take this district to the next level,” he said. Licking Heights is a district of 3,287 students in western Licking County.

MPC: Plans to convert Dalt’s to bank are tasteful By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers Plans to turn the old Dalt’s restaurant into a bank received a good review from the Worthington Municipal Planning Commission on May 26. Harvey Glick plans to transform the long-vacant restaurant and attached office building into the headquarters and a branch office of Insight Bank. The MPC approved a conditional-use permit for a drive-up bank in the C-2 zoning district. The MPC also sent to Worthington City Council an amendment to the development plan for the property, along with a recommendation of approval.
If all goes as planned, this will be the first major change approved at The Shops at Worthington Place, which is the new name of Worthington Square. Worthington Place owner Tom Carter attended the MPC meeting and said he would return to the next meeting for a demolition permit for the old James Tavern. Both the James Tavern and Dalt’s were restaurants on the mall site. Carter said he has no definite plans for the James Tavern site but hopes it eventually would become a hotel, office building or housing. Except for concerns from MPC member James Sauer about removing trees in

It was established to recognize the nation’s military veterans who died while fighting for their country. In keeping with efforts to recognize and honor the sacrifices and service of military veterans, ThisWeek Community Media is launching Honoring Heroes, a continuing series through which we will share the stories and remembrances from and about local men and women who are either on active duty or retired from service. As part of covering their beats, our reporters often hear about and write about veterans leaving for overseas or com-

We’ve written about soldiers who arrive at their homes or their children’s schools to unexpectedly surprise their delighted families. We know many more stories are out there, waiting to be told.

Annexation commission GRADS will tackle ‘who pays’
Continued from page A1
By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
With the clock ticking, the Riverlea Annexation Commission is about to take on what one member calls “the elephant in the room.” The “elephant” is the issue regarding who will pay the cost of repairing Riverlea’s infrastructure if the village is annexed to the city of Worthington. The commission meets every Thursday to hammer out an agreement to present to voters. Voters of both Worthington and Riverlea must approve the annexation. A group of Riverlea residents initiated the annexation. Councils from both municipalities appointed three commissioners to decide the condition of annexation, which will be part of the question to go before voters in November. The issue must be filed with the Ohio Secretary of State’s Of-
fice by 4 p.m. Aug. 10 to appear on the November ballot. To meet that deadline, the agreement must be reached and returned to both councils by early July. During last week’s meeting, Worthington city engineer Bill Watterson presented some preliminary costs of fixing Riverlea’s roads and sanitary sewer system, but thus far, the commission has not decided who would pay. During a Worthington council meeting, it was suggested that Riverlea residents might be assessed the cost of bringing the village’s streets and sewers up to Worthington standards. A memo from Riverlea’s annexation commissioners stated that would not be acceptable. “This is the elephant in the room,” Worthington commissioner Bob Chosy said during the May 26 meeting. They plan to address the “who pays” issues June 2. “I really think this is the issue
that will take the most attention,” Worthington commissioner Robert Schmidt said. Watterson said it would cost approximately $2 million over five years to bring Riverlea’s streets up to Worthington’s standards. Two or three streets a year would be repaired, he said. Fixing sanitary sewers would cost about $1 million, he said. That includes $650,000 to repair lines and $350,000 to eliminate a lift station. Additional work could be needed, depending on the outcome of flow monitoring. Both Worthington and Riverlea are under orders from the Environmental Protection Agency to improve their aging systems. The annexation meetings begin at 4 p.m. at the Worthington Municipal Building, 6550 N. High St. They are open to the public. cbrooks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

BANK Continued from page A1 access from the mall service road. The facade of Dalt’s will be reworked to blend with the existing office, which will receive a new entryway anchored by a flagpole and a signature column. A blue band will run along the top of the first story on the office building and above the windows of the former restaurant. Along with a flagpole, flowers, shrubs and ornamental grasses will be added to the front of the property. Two trees will be removed. Sauer said he would like to see West Wilson Bridge Road become a tree-lined boulevard and that removing the trees would not be a good start. “One of the nice things about the Worthington area is the trees,” Sauer said. Commissioner Kathy Holcombe said forfeiting the trees to gain a well-done business project would be a good trade. “I’m willing to give up those trees to move forward with this project,” she said. The amendment to the development plan, which council must approve, includes variances for sideyard setback for a drive-up canopy; a frontyard setback for a flagpole and the number and area of freestanding, wall and directional signs.

One-woman show blends humor with sober tales from war zones Comedian and documentary filmmaker Jennifer Rawlings will bring her one-woman show, “I Only Smoke in War Zones … true stories from the battlefield, both home and abroad,” to the McConnell Arts Center on Friday, June 10. Rawlings has been seen on Comedy Central, CMT, VH-1 and A&E and has appeared on stage with Faith Hill and the late George Carlin. She has performed her stand-up routine more than 300 times for U.S. troops throughout the world. While on tour in Bosnia, Rawlings became familiar with the plight of women in that country and created the critically acclaimed film, “Forgotten Voices: Women in Bosnia.” The doc-
nonstop minutes of stand-up and storytelling about her home life with five children and a husband and her experiences in war zones. The show, which she has performed in New York and Los Angeles, alternates between hilarious and poignant. Colin Quinn, a stand-up comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member, described the show as “a sad yet funny, ugly yet beautiful story about humanity and inhumanity.” A video of Rawlings is online at youtube.com/watch?v=NfpIPebjukk The McConnell Arts Center is at 777 Evening St. Tickets are available online for $15 or at the door for $20.

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 cen-
ters are nearing capacity in C o l u m bu s , Dublin and New Albany, driven by market opportunities in the KENNY advanced-enMCDONALD ergy, 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!

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
By Eric George/ThisWeek
Kilbourne goalie Alex Wylly is hoisted by fans May 28 after the Wolves defeated host Upper Arlington 10-4 in a Division I regional final.
Lacrosse
Wolves boys earn memorable victory By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers Junior attacker Charlie Bassani of the Worthington Kilbourne High School boys lacrosse team was a freshman when he watched the Wolves defeat Upper Arlington twice during the 2009 season, including 7-6 in the Division I state final, for the program’s first victories over the
Golden Bears. All the memories of that game came flooding back as he helped the Wolves upset UA 10-4 in a Central Region final on May 28. Bassani and teammate Ryan Pritchett scored three goals apiece and goalie Alex Wylly had 11 saves as Kilbourne ended the Bears’ 19-year streak of state final appearances. “It’s a very similar feeling. It’s the same
rush,” Bassani said. “I am going to remember this forever.” The Wolves improved to 16-5 and advanced to play Cincinnati Moeller in a state semifinal on June 1. The winner plays Hudson or Medina in the final on Saturday, June 4, at Westerville Central. The Wolves haven’t faced Medina or Hudson this season but defeated Medina 8-7 last year to advance to the state
final and defeated Hudson 9-8 in overtime in a 2009 state semifinal. Before meeting in the other semifinal, Hudson was 19-1 overall and Medina was 13-4. Hudson’s only loss was 13-12 in double overtime to Solon on April 21. Medina, which had won five consecutive games after going through a threegame skid April 29-May 7, was 1-1 against central Ohio teams. The Bees de-
feated Thomas Worthington 13-8 in on March 26 and lost to UA 13-7 on April 29. Hudson beat both of its central Ohio opponents this year, knocking off Dublin Coffman 9-8 on April 2 and Olentangy Liberty 17-5 on April 16. Kilbourne had lost two of its final four See LACROSSE, page B2
Track & Field
Thomas boys tie North for title By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek
Thomas’ Armand Austin won the 400 meters on May 27 at the Division I regional. He also was on the winning 800 and 1,600 relays as the Cardinals tied Westerville North for the team title.
Winning a regional title had crossed the mind of Andy Cox, but the Thomas Worthington High School boys track and field coach didn’t think the Cardinals had scored enough points. But just before the meet-closing 1,600meter relay on May 27 in the Division I regional at Pickerington North, Cox saw that his team was in position to capture the title. Nana Kyeremeh, Armand Austin, Ryan McFarland and Andrew Maetzold won the 1,600 relay in 3 minutes, 19.1 seconds to vault the Cardinals into a first-place tie with co-champion Westerville North at 37 points. New Albany and Olentangy Liberty tied for third (33) as 39 teams scored. “I thought if we could score in the 50s we would have a shot, but this was definitely a surprise,” Cox said. “I think there just might have been a boatload of balance instead of just being one dominant team. “There really wasn’t a dominant team this year like in the past with Gahanna having (2010 graduate) Blake Heriot winning two or three races and being on a winning relay or two. But when they ran the twomile, the mile and the 800 (at regional), all of those were great races.” The top four in each event at regional advanced to state Friday and Saturday, June

Worthington Christian Roundup
Girls run to state-meet berth in 400 relay By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The success the Worthington Christian High School girls track and field team has had in the 400-meter relay the past two weeks may go well beyond a consolation prize. The Warriors entered the postseason with hopes that their 1,600 relay eventually would surpass what it accomplished last season when it finished ninth at the Division III state meet, but those hopes disappeared when Mackenzie Clapper, Allie Custer, Tobie Weston and Anna Shaw were disqualified while competing in the final of the event in the district meet that concluded May 21 at Gahanna. Despite having lower expectations in the 400 relay, the foursome of Clapper, Custer, Donyell Miller and Weston won a district title and then took third (51.23 seconds) in the regional meet that con-
cluded May 27 at Fairfield Union. Preliminaries in the event at state will be held at 10:50 a.m. Friday, June 3, at Ohio State. The final is at 10:20 a.m. Saturday, June 4. “Honestly, we thought we had a better chance with our (1,600 relay), but this relay came together,” Weston said. “We broke our record that we set at district and I don’t think Donyell and I had a great handoff. We were really motivated after what happened in the (1,600 relay).” Clapper, Custer and Weston all ran on the 1,600 relay at state last season. Through most of the regular season this spring, Shaw ran on the 400 relay along with Custer, Miller and Weston in addition to running in the 1,600 relay until a stress fracture limited her to one event for the postseason. Once it was determined that Shaw would focus solely on the 1,600 relay, Clapper took her spot on the 400 relay.
At a glance
Below are the state qualifiers for the Worthington Christian track & field team with regional event, place and time/distance/height: GIRLS — 400 relay: Donyell Miller, Tobie Weston, Mackenzie Clapper and Allie Custer (third, 51.23) Other regional results: BOYS — Michael Stomps: 400 (ninth, 53.3); 400 relay: Connor Brown, Chris Bradley, Stomps and David Manns-Moses (sixth, 44.94) GIRLS — Custer: 400 (eighth, 1:03.45)
“(The 400 relay has) really impressed me with the fact that it’s not the original team we started out with,” coach Loren Hughes said. “The week before district, Anna Shaw found out she had a stress fracture so she was only going to race in
the (1,600 relay). In her place, we put Mackenzie Clapper, and she’s just run with it. They’ve all just clicked with the handoffs and with the way they’ve worked together. I knew the girls had a chance in the (1,600 relay), but I didn’t know if the (400 relay) would come through the way they did.” “Our handoffs were a lot better in the regional final than they were at regional semis,” Custer said. “It’s a lot different in the (1,600 relay) than in the (400 relay). The (400 relay) is over quick. It was a lot of fun (at state) last year, and I think it’ll be a lot of fun this year.” Custer added an eighth-place finish in the 400 (1:03.45) at regional, as the Warriors scored seven points to finish 28th of the 47 teams that scored, behind champion Waynesfield-Goshen (71). The only points the boys team scored were in the 400 relay, where Connor Brown, Chris Bradley, Michael Stomps
and David Manns-Moses finished sixth (44.94) to scored three points. The Warriors tied for 38th of the 46 teams that scored, behind champion Columbus Academy (71). Stomps also competed in the 400 but failed to advance to the final. Sam Isner ran a leg of the 400 relay in preliminaries May 25 in place of MannsMoses to help the Warriors advance to the regional final. Isner filled in for MannsMoses when he was unable to run during the district final and the regional preliminaries because of a hamstring injury. “We had to use an alternate for the (boys 400 relay),” Hughes said. “Sam stepped in and helped the guys qualify for the regional. We rested David for a week and he was able to run the final. It’s good to have that depth.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

LACROSSE Continued from page B1 regular-season games, including 11-9 to UA on May 3 before winning its first three games in the tournament. Clinging to a 4-3 lead at halftime, Kilbourne outscored UA 61 in the second to half to pick up its third win over the Bears. “We jumped early (in the second half) and from that point, we had control of the game,” Bassani said. “We needed to wear them down,” coach Drew May said. “They have an excellent defense and an excellent goalie. We needed to wear them down and that would pay dividends in the second half. And it did. “(Beating UA) means everything. These guys set the bar as high as it can be. It means a lot to beat them.” •The Thomas Worthington girls team already has made two trips to Gates Mills Hawken, but the Cardinals wouldn’t mind making another trip for the Division I state semifinal on Friday, June 3, and the final on Saturday, June 4. The Cardinals played Hudson in a North/Central Region final on May 31 at Hawken. They had been scheduled to play the Explorers on May 26, but the game was postponed because of bad weather after Thomas had arrived in Gates Mills. The Cardinals were 14-4 before playing Hudson. The Thomas-Hudson winner will play Upper Arlington in a state semifinal. The Cardinals were 0-2 against the Bears this season, losing to
At a glance UA 13-9 on April 5 and 11-7 on May 9. The semifinal winner plays New Albany, Cleveland Heights or Medina in the final. The Wolves lost to New Albany 11-10 on April 26. •At the beginning of the season, the Kilbourne girls team braced for a step backward, as it lost 11 players from a year ago when it finished 12-5-2 after losing to UA 16-7 in a Division I regional final. However, the Wolves posted their fourth consecutive winning season, finishing 10-8 overall after losing to New Albany 19-4 in a South/Central Region semifinal on May 23. “When I think about what stands out about this team, it would have to be the amount of growth we made throughout the season,” coach Doug Troutner said. “The improvement they showed throughout the year was just amazing.” Troutner said the two highpoints of the season were a 7-6 win over Columbus School for Girls on April 18 and an 11-10 win over Olentangy on May 6. Those two programs were a combined 27-6. “The CSG game was back and fourth throughout the game,” said Troutner, whose team was 5-2 in games decided by fewer than five goals. “The girls just stepped it up and made it pay off in the end.” The Wolves finished fourth in the OCC-Buckeye Division with a 2-3 record, behind New Albany (5-0), UA (4-1) and Thomas (32) and ahead of Dublin Coffman (1-4) and Hilliard Darby (0-5).

KILBOURNE GIRLS •Record: 10-8 overall, 2-3 (fourth) in OCC-Buckeye •Seniors lost: Megan Ballantine, Kelly Barford, Colleen Hile and Brittany Phillips •Key returnees: Carly Cameron, Alex Malone, Mariah Minichello and Meredith Schram
Kilbourne loses four seniors in defender Colleen Hile, midfielder Megan Ballantine and attackers Kelly Barford and Brittany Phillips. Barford was first-team all-league, all-region and all-state and Hile was honorable mention all-league. Expected to return are sophomore goalkeeper Alex Malone, junior Mariah Minichello, sophomores Gabi Gonzalez and Danielle Motter and freshman Kara Hines on defense, juniors Carly Cameron and Meredith Schram and sophomore Maria Whitesel in the midfield and juniors Savannah Coen and Lindsay Hoskins and sophomores Alycia Kingcade and Lexi Walton on attack.

3-4, at Ohio State. The Cardinals also won the 800 relay with Kevin Girgis, Maetzold, Austin and Kyeremeh setting a program record (1:27.81). Austin won the 400 (48.41) and the 3,200 relay of Greg Highley, Ray Crook, Dan McGeary and McFarland was fourth (7:58.15). “We have always had some pretty good athletes,” Cox said. “We may not have the outstanding runners that can dominate meets, but we usually can put together a group of pretty good athletes who work together on relays. That way we can get more kids involved and they can all be successful.” One Thomas runner with a successful regional performance was Austin in the 400. For the second consecutive week, he held off runner-up Stevyn Spees of St. Charles (48.79) to win the title. “Armand went out from the get-go and took the lead,” Cox said. “He was really confident, took the lead and kept it throughout the race.” Austin said he likes to take control of the race early. “Some runners (in the 400) like to sit back a little and then kick it in at the end, but I like to run a steady race,” Austin said. “I like to run steady and see what I can do.” The Cardinals did not score last year in the state meet. The 800 relay of 2010 graduate Alhaji Bah, Austin, Kyeremeh and Girgis was 11th (1:29.31) and the 1,600 relay of Bah and senior Madison Murphy joined Austin and Kyeremeh to finish 10th (3:22.35). “We have great coaches who have planned workouts so we can be running our best right now,” Austin said. “(Making it to state) comes down to coaching and our putting in the hard work that is necessary.” Cox said hard work has been the difference for Austin, who is a junior. “As a freshman, Armand was a high-jumper and a hurdler and he wasn’t very focused,” Cox said. “His work ethic has improved significantly since then, and he’s starting to believe that he can be really good. “He’s finding out that if you

Boys Tennis
Cempre again falls in second round at state By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Senior Casey Cempre of the Thomas Worthington High School boys tennis team ended his season exactly where he ended the 2010 season — in the second round of the Division I state singles tournament. A year after losing to Lodi Cloverleaf’s Ethan Dunbar 6-1, 6-3 in a quarterfinal, Cempre lost to Dunbar’s younger brother, Jacob, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 in a quarterfinal on May 27 at Hilliard Davidson. “They both were just really consistent and didn’t really miss much,” said Cempre, who finished the season with a 31-5 record. “I think Jacob might have been even more consistent than Ethan was, but Ethan could hit a bigger ball.” Cempre’s exit may be part of a changing of the guard for the Central District. The past three years, the district was represented in the state singles final, with Worthington Kilbourne’s Kevin Metka winning the title in 2010 and New Albany’s Peter Kobelt winning the title in 2009 after

placing second in 2008. This year, none of the four state qualifiers from the district made it past the first day of competition at state. Like Cempre,
Dublin Coffman’s Hiromi Nakayama lost in the second round, while Gahanna’s Jesse Shivener and New Albany’s Steven Miller Jr. both lost in the
first round. Still, Cempre, who defeated Shaker Heights’ David Gabriel 6-1, 6-3 in the first round of the state tournament, was pleased
with what he accomplished. “My goal was to win districts, so I accomplished that,” he said. “Anything beyond that would have been icing on the cake. It’s been a good season and the team did really well.” Cempre’s state performance capped Thomas’ season. The Cardinals finished 11-5 overall after losing to New Albany 4-1 in the OTCA Division I district final on May 23. It was their first district final appearance since 1999. Among the Cardinals’ other accomplishments this season: •Winning the Davidson Doubles Classic with 26 points on April 16, finishing ahead of New Albany (24), Cincinnati Seven Hills (23), Coffman and Olentangy Liberty (21), Watterson (14), Davidson (12) and Kilbourne (7); •Advancing five players to the district tournament May 20-21 at Davidson, marking their largest district contingent since 2002; •Cempre won the program’s first district championship since 2000 and its first singles district title since 1998.

“A lot of the things they did this year haven’t been done for a long time, if ever,” coach Tyler Stephen said. “We set the bar pretty high for future classes.” Thomas finished second in the OCC-Central Division with a 6-1 record and 60 points, behind Upper Arlington (7-0, 82) and ahead of Coffman (5-2, 59), Davidson (4-3, 41), Kilbourne (3-4, 40), Hilliard Darby (2-5, 27) Westland (1-6, 10) and Central Crossing (0-7, 1).

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

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.

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 400square-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 o f 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 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.

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.

We are located at 1000 Morrison Road, Suite H, Gahanna. Come see why patients are willing to make the drive to invest in their hearing. We look forward to hearing from you. We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!
