Police officers consider joining union By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers New Albany will know by next week if its police officers want to be represented by a union for contract negotiations. The State Employee Relations Board (SERB) mailed out ballots June 3 and the results are expected to be made public Monday, June 13, said Jason Pappas,
executive vice president of the Capital City Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge No. 9. The vote requires a simple majority of the officers — 50 percent plus one, Pappas said — to request representation by the FOP. New Albany Police Chief Mark Chaney said the vote is considered to be 50 percent plus one because it is based on the number of votes, not the number of eligible votes. New Albany has 12
officers eligible to vote, so 50 percent plus one would be 7 if all 12 officers vote. If only 10 vote, 50 percent plus one would be 6, Chaney said. Since New Albany officially became a city in April, employees legally may join unions. State law does not allow village employees to unionize. So far, the city has received notification from SERB that the police department is the only organization that is vot-
ing to unionize, said Scott McAfee, the city’s communications director. Chaney said the city had anticipated some union organization and he would encourage his officers to vote on important decisions. “I would not discourage any employee from voting on important issues such as representation,” he said. In 2010, the United Steelworkers of America attempted to interest service
department employees in unionizing, but the process was halted by the state because New Albany was still a village at the time, said city administrator Joseph Stefanov in January. The service department employees currently have made no announcement on whether they are still interested in joining a union. See UNION, page A8

The parks and trails advisory board agreed June 6 that the New Albany Co.’s proposed housing development on the “West Nine” holes of the New Albany Country Club golf course has appropriate parks and trails. The advisory board made a motion recommending that city council approve the final development plan for the project. The board included one condition: The leisure trail should be extended through the housing development to connect with developments to the south. “The leisure trail ends at the sidewalk at the roundabout,” said Kathryn Meyer, deputy development director. “The (New Albany) planning commission recommended the leisure trail continue to follow the road through there and would eventually hook to Thompson Road through a development to the south.” The West Nine development would be built southeast of Clivdon Mews and would conSee WEST NINE, page A2
19 valedictorians lead class of 2011 City could By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Many of New Albany High School’s 19 valedictorians said their school provided them with a good education and they praised the faculty during commencement practice June 3. Commencement was June 5. Students who achieve higher than a 4.0 gradepoint average are designated as valedictorians, said Jeff Warner, communications director. Students may earn higher than a 4.0 by taking Advanced Placement classes, which are weighted for more points than regular classes.
Valedictorians for the class of 2011 were: • Lisa Alas, who plans to study business at Miami University. • Elizabeth Aurand, who plans to study chemistry at Boston University. • Bryant Bednarek, who plans to play football and study economics at Davidson College in North Carolina. • Meghan Buell, who plans to play tennis and study marketing at Washington and Lee University in Virginia. • Darcy Doran-Myers, who plans to study zoology at The Ohio State University. • Kellie Fitzgerald, who plans to study busi-
ness at Ohio State. • Emily Fox, who plans to attend Ohio State. • William Gleason, who plans to attend DePaul University in Chicago. • Clark Hillenbrand, who plans to study finance at the University of Richmond in Virginia. • Nadeem Khan, who plans to study business at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. • Abigail Mackey, who plans to study agriculture at North Carolina State University. • Sarah Makowski, who plans to study early childhood education at Ohio State.

file insurance claim for new police dog By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The New Albany Police Department is considering ways to replace Bungee, its police dog that was killed in an accident May 25. “Bungee was, in fact, insured and, as a result, we have got to submit a claim,” said Police Chief Mark Chaney. “We’re working with the insurance company to submit a claim for the cost of acquiring and training another canine.” According to the department, the door on officer Joel Strahler’s cruiser malfunctioned May 25, opening without Strahler’s initiation and allowing Bungee to leap out of the car and into the path of oncoming traffic on U.S. Route 62.

• Fanni Mandy, who plans to study engineering at Cornell University in New York. • Franciska Mandy, who plans to study engineering at Cornell. • Emily Moore, who plans to study international affairs and premed at Ohio State. • Shara Ogg, who plans to study mass communications at Boston University. • Amanda Poll, who plans to study animal behavior and special education at Ohio State. • Blake Taneff, who plans to study biochemistry at Ohio State. • Ellen Waddell, who plans to study writing at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Several of the valedictorians praised the efforts of the high school faculty. “The support of the teaching staff really helps you and encourages you,” said Alas. Added Doran-Myers: “I like the supportive atmosphere and how willing everyone is to help you out if you ask.” Many students said academics at NAHS are challenging and conducive tor critical thinking. Buell said the “tough have prepared me for my future,” while Ogg liked “the stimulating learning environment,” “Everyone’s open to new ideas and is welcoming and accepting,” Ogg said. All of the seniors had advice for underclassmen but most encouraged them peers to work hard and have fun. “Hard work will get you anything,” Bednarek said. Fitzgerald, Khan and Taneff encouraged underclassmen to do their homework, while others recommended they start preparing for the future as soon as possible. “Get things done early and enjoy it while it lasts because it goes by quickly,” Waddell said. Alas said underclassmen should begin working toward a career as soon as their freshman year. Fanni Mandy agreed. “Start everything early,” she said. “Don’t wait until the last minute.” Franciska Mandy recommended developing “a plan of action based on your talents, your skills and, most of all, your passion.” Mackey and Fox recommended involvement and participation. “Participate in everything you can,” Fox said. Classmates can help, too, Ogg said. “Have faith in your fellow classmates,” she said. We’re all in this together. More people want to be your friend than your enemy.” Makowski said younger students should think about college in addition to high school classes. “Stay organized and make folders for each school (college) you’re considering applying to,” she said. Gleason said “balance” is important. “Make sure to have fun; don’t just make it all about work,” he said. Poll said it may sound “corny,” but underclassmen need to “realize what’s important to you and make your dreams a reality.” lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
nect with the New Albany Country Club. It includes 12 homes on 12.331 acres. Plans include a traffic circle south of Clivdon Mews and a one-way roundabout west of the country club. The roundabout feeds into a cul-de-sac that dead-ends into a golf cart path to the club. Meyer said the leisure path was planned to run on the north side of the road from Clivdon into the subdivision, running along the traffic circle and stopping at the roundabout, where pedestrians could pick up the sidewalk. She said the planning commission recommended the trail be extended south at the roundabout to connect with potential future developments. That extension could eventually reach Thompson Road, she said. The advisory board members agreed with the idea to extend the connection to the south. They also expressed concern about a bridge over the Rose Run that could be slippery for walkers, runners and bicyclists. Board member Phil Heit said wooden bridges can be slippery if leaves fall on them and the bridges seem to freeze faster than roads. He also recommended against any arch in the bridge floor, which, he said, can be an issue for walkers and runners. Meyer said the board should include its concerns in the condition.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT’S FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The parks and trails advisory board reviews parkland dedication and trails associated with developments in the city. Board members had no issues with the parkland in the subdivision. It includes preserved green space near the Rose Run creek, a 100-foot preservation zone along the creek and a 0.4-acre tract of land that is set up as an island in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Meyer said the island could be used for throwing a football or other physical activities. The development is required to have 20 percent of the property dedicated to parkland, but it currently is at only 9.5 percent. Meyer said because the New Albany Co. has developed other residential developments and included a lot of extra parkland in those, it can fulfill the park and dedication by using 2.46 acres from credits given for those previous developments. The company also is required to dedicate land as open space and for a playground. Meyer said there is open space in the plans and NACo has requested a variance for the playground. Instead, it would commit to develop a playground on property to the south when it eventually is developed. City council has the final say on the development plan. Council is expected to review the application in July. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
PRINCIPAL Continued from page A1 and a gift to me, as well,” Stranges said. There class numbered 307 students and 300 of them graduated, Stranges said. Those who received their diplomas on June 5 had completed all their requirements by that day. “The others still can graduate if they complete (all) requirements by the first day of the next school year,” said Jeff Warner, the district’s communications director. “It does appear that the re-
maining students are on track to finish their course requirement in order to be considered class of 2011 graduates.” Last year, the district had the highest percentage rate of graduates in Franklin County at 99.6 percent. Warner said it was the district’s highest graduation rate in its history and tied for the highest among similar districts, as identified by the Ohio Department of Education, throughout the state. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Trustees want to lease two buildings AS IT WERE
Commentary & opinion
By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
As it were
Trash: An ever-present problem for a growing city In the wake of a recent threeday holiday weekend, I was reminded of — among other things — the remarkable cleanliness of Ohio’s capital city. Columbus is certainly not unique in the cleanliness of its streets and the remarkable efficiency of its refuse removal. But anybody who has recently been to a “filthy city” — and we will politely not mention any names — probably has thankfully returned to Columbus and assumed that the metropolis of central Ohio has always been this efficiently clean. Of course, that assumption would not be correct. For much of the first 100 years of its history, Columbus was a pretty dirty place. This should not really be all that surprising. Through most of human history, cities have been places where large numbers of people have gathered for one reason or another. And generally, they have been more interested in those reasons — to do business, to worship, to have a good time — than they have been inclined to pick up after themselves. Columbus is a created city. There was not all that much on the “high banks opposite Franklinton at the forks of the Scioto” in 1812 except a lot of forest and a very large Indian mound that gave Mound Street its name. It was at this pristine location that the Ohio General Assembly decided to make a new home. And even though only a few hundred people lived here at first, it did not take them long to make a mess. One of the very first ordinances passed by the Borough of Columbus in 1816 as the legislature was preparing to meet here for the first time dealt with the condition of the streets, such as they were. The ordinance of May 23, 1816, forbade “the obstruction of the thoroughfares by lumber, firewood, stable garbage, earth from cellars or any other means.” The mayor, Jarvis Pike, could impose fines if he saw fit. When one notes that the mayor was making money by removing the stumps from Statehouse Square for the governor in one of the state’s first public works contracts, it probably will not come as a shock to learn that the stumps in High Street were ignored. No one was paying to have them removed. And no one was really complying with the street-cleaning ordinance, either.
Mayor Pike soon decided not to seek reelection and entered into several private-sector businesses. His ED successors LENTZ were not better, and may have been worse, at keeping the trash of the city under control. A few examples: On June 26, 1820, the city marshal was ordered to “remove any logs from Broad Street, west of Fourth Street, that may have grown on the ground and is fallen thereon.” There is no record that the marshal did any such thing. In 1832, the residents of lots on High Street from Broad to Main streets were ordered “to collect the dirt into convenient heaps on Saturday of each week.” There is no record that the residents complied with that order, either. “Dirt” was a major problem in the early city. This was due primarily to certain basic facts: Most of the streets were not paved. Most of the streets were being used as sewers as well as thoroughfares. Columbus was a city powered by horses and its streets were filled with what horses left behind. Put all of this together and one can see why the removal of dirt was an important issue. By 1840, Columbus was a town of more than 6,000 people and the streets — at least near Broad and High — were at least moderately clean at least some of the time. An ordinance passed that year was more modest in its intent. The long-suffering marshal was ordered to employ someone to “clean the paved gutters of the city of all dirt and filth.” Presumably, the idea here was that dirt and filth pushed into the street would be washed away after a while. How this would happen in a city without sewers was not explained. Things had not improved much by 1850. A writer informed a local newspaper of the problems of inner city travel: “On Tuesday last, a couple of friends from Cleveland, delegates to the Temperance Convention, wishing to visit the Lunatic Asylum (at Jefferson and Broad), I took them in my carriage and set out on the perilous undertaking of reaching that institution; and by trespassing on the gravel sidewalk of Mr. Kelley (near Fifth and Broad), and some others,
we contrived to get within 40 or 50 rods of the Asylum gate, when we were stuck fast in the mud, and after breaking the carriage and harness in endeavoring to proceed, we were compelled to wade on foot through the mire.” The arrival of 26,000 Union troops at Camp Chase did not help improve city cleanliness much. A local paper complained in 1865 as the Civil War was ending that, “Our Street Commissioner, having wakened up from his Rip Van Winkle slumbers, was out yesterday with an overwhelming force, consisting of a one-legged man and two assistants, actively engaged in cleaning up … Heaven knows there is need of it.” By the early 1870s, Columbus was growing rapidly and the downtown near the Statehouse was being kept reasonably clean. The area north of town near the railyards was another matter: “The weather at present writing warrants a hope that navigation between the National Hotel (Nationwide and High Street) and the North Graveyard (North Market) will be closed today. For several days, it has been impossible to get a respectable footing anywhere in the territory described above. We doubt whether such a sea of mud has ever afflicted any other city.” Actually, many other cities had precisely the same problems. If anything, Columbus — because it was the capital city — was probably cleaner than most cities of comparable size in these years. At last in 1886, a program of relatively regular street cleaning was begun in Columbus. A fourhorse sweeper began to clean High Street six nights a week. By 1892, the service was being performed by two two-horse sweepers. But even this service was not uniform, since it was paid for by local property owners who desired it. It would take another generation for really complete street See AS IT WERE, page A5
Plain Township is trying to lease space at 39 Second St. and a portion of the building at 45 Second St. that also houses the township administrative offices. During their June 1 meeting, trustees approved a lease option for Greg Gould, who is hoping to put a music studio at 45 Second St. The space currently is occupied by the Hayley Gallery, which is moving to 270 Main St. in August. Gould, president of GnG Music Instruction, met with trustees in April and inquired about the gallery space, which is adjacent to the township offices. Gould told trustees that he would have eight private classrooms and a larger space that could be used for band practice. He said the studio would be open 3:30 to 8:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, so most of the musi-
cians would be in the building after township offices close at 5 p.m. Gould has been in business for three years and he currently teaches private lessons in area homes. He works with about 60 New Albany families. He said the studio probably would not interest those students but could attract new ones. He said he has businesses in Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati and is looking for more space in central Ohio. He said the business model is a little different because there will be recording equipment in each lesson room, which allows lessons to be reviewed by students, teachers and parents. Plain Township administrator Ben Collins said through the lease option, Gould would give the township $500 to hold the space for 30 days without leasing it to anyone else. Trustee Dave Olmstead said he had no issues with the option and the township currently has no other interested tenants.
The other building at 39 Second St. will be vacant at the end of June when the township’s lease with One World Communications expires. The building has 1,300 square feet of space. In other business, trustees rescinded a resolution to hire P&L Systems to do engineering for Maplewood Cemetery improvements. Tom Rybski, president of P&L, is the township’s representative to the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel, which makes recommendations on township rezoning requests based on compliance with the accord plan. After getting a legal opinion, the trustees decided to rescind the resolution to hire P&L and instead use local engineering and consulting firm EMH&T. P&L’s bid was $5,500 and EMH&T’s was $6,800. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
Vet clinic rezoning request on council agenda Letter
Drug discount cards available To the editor: Three years ago, Franklin County commissioners rolled out a free prescription discount card designed to help residents save money on their prescription medications. Last month, the savings to county residents exceeded $2 million, making Franklin County is the first county in Ohio and the 33rd in the nation to reach this mark. The program is available to Franklin County as a member of the National Association of Counties (NACo). Cards are available at most public buildings, including libraries, county buildings
and senior centers. They also come in Spanish. Residents can print a card online or request one be mailed to them at www.franklincountyohio.gov/rx. This program offers real savings to people that need it. Families without health care coverage, or who have gaps in their coverage, are able to save almost a quarter of the cost of their prescription. As we pull ourselves out of this recession, this program is helping people get the medication they need and still put food on the dinner table.

New Albany City Council on June 7 was expected to hear an ordinance to change the zoning for two properties at the northeast corner of Reynoldsburg-New Albany and Morse roads. However, council had been requested to table the ordinance in anticipation of a final recommendation from the city’s planning commission. For results from the meeting, visit ThisWeekNews.com. The planning commission reviewed the application May 16 and tabled its vote until June to await more information from the applicant, which planned to establish a veterinary clinic on the site.

During the commission’s hearing, seven neighboring residents spoke against the application, saying it would hurt their property values and would change the character of their subdivision, New Albany Farms. The property is south of the homes in the Farms and once was owned by Bobby Rahal. It was zoned for agricultural use by the Rahal family, who had horses at the time. The property is now
owned by New Albany Farms LLC Bella Vista. Bella Vista is an equine veterinary service that hopes to establish the vet clinic at the site, which site includes a horse barn with six stalls, an indoor and outdoor riding area, a small one-car garage with a residence above it and a residential home. Bella Vista requested the two properties — one that is zoned for limited agricultural use and one that is residential — be changed
into one limited agricultural district. A conditional-use permit also has been requested, which would allow the veterinary clinic to operate in the private horse barn. If council tables the ordinance, as requested, it would not be reviewed by council until after the planning commission has reviewed the application and voted on it. The application is on the commission’s June 20 meeting agenda. — Lori Wince

Continued from page A4 cleaning and refuse removal to come to Columbus. But by 1911 — 100 years ago — it was here. Superintendent Kautzman described his refuse-collection department for a local paper: “Our present quarters (on Short Street) in addition to the disposal plant, consist of a loading station, a commodious barn, both of brick, and a wagon shed now in the process of completion. We have 104 head of horses, 54 wagons and more than 75 men … “During the last two months, we have collected approximately 10,000 loads of garbage and rubbish. We are making the garbage pay by extracting grease and other byproducts from it … Why should we not make this profit for the municipality?” After all, who can argue with treasure from trash?

Trustees want to lease two buildings AS IT WERE
Commentary & opinion
By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
As it were
Trash: An ever-present problem for a growing city In the wake of a recent threeday holiday weekend, I was reminded of — among other things — the remarkable cleanliness of Ohio’s capital city. Columbus is certainly not unique in the cleanliness of its streets and the remarkable efficiency of its refuse removal. But anybody who has recently been to a “filthy city” — and we will politely not mention any names — probably has thankfully returned to Columbus and assumed that the metropolis of central Ohio has always been this efficiently clean. Of course, that assumption would not be correct. For much of the first 100 years of its history, Columbus was a pretty dirty place. This should not really be all that surprising. Through most of human history, cities have been places where large numbers of people have gathered for one reason or another. And generally, they have been more interested in those reasons — to do business, to worship, to have a good time — than they have been inclined to pick up after themselves. Columbus is a created city. There was not all that much on the “high banks opposite Franklinton at the forks of the Scioto” in 1812 except a lot of forest and a very large Indian mound that gave Mound Street its name. It was at this pristine location that the Ohio General Assembly decided to make a new home. And even though only a few hundred people lived here at first, it did not take them long to make a mess. One of the very first ordinances passed by the Borough of Columbus in 1816 as the legislature was preparing to meet here for the first time dealt with the condition of the streets, such as they were. The ordinance of May 23, 1816, forbade “the obstruction of the thoroughfares by lumber, firewood, stable garbage, earth from cellars or any other means.” The mayor, Jarvis Pike, could impose fines if he saw fit. When one notes that the mayor was making money by removing the stumps from Statehouse Square for the governor in one of the state’s first public works contracts, it probably will not come as a shock to learn that the stumps in High Street were ignored. No one was paying to have them removed. And no one was really complying with the street-cleaning ordinance, either.
Mayor Pike soon decided not to seek reelection and entered into several private-sector businesses. His ED successors LENTZ were not better, and may have been worse, at keeping the trash of the city under control. A few examples: On June 26, 1820, the city marshal was ordered to “remove any logs from Broad Street, west of Fourth Street, that may have grown on the ground and is fallen thereon.” There is no record that the marshal did any such thing. In 1832, the residents of lots on High Street from Broad to Main streets were ordered “to collect the dirt into convenient heaps on Saturday of each week.” There is no record that the residents complied with that order, either. “Dirt” was a major problem in the early city. This was due primarily to certain basic facts: Most of the streets were not paved. Most of the streets were being used as sewers as well as thoroughfares. Columbus was a city powered by horses and its streets were filled with what horses left behind. Put all of this together and one can see why the removal of dirt was an important issue. By 1840, Columbus was a town of more than 6,000 people and the streets — at least near Broad and High — were at least moderately clean at least some of the time. An ordinance passed that year was more modest in its intent. The long-suffering marshal was ordered to employ someone to “clean the paved gutters of the city of all dirt and filth.” Presumably, the idea here was that dirt and filth pushed into the street would be washed away after a while. How this would happen in a city without sewers was not explained. Things had not improved much by 1850. A writer informed a local newspaper of the problems of inner city travel: “On Tuesday last, a couple of friends from Cleveland, delegates to the Temperance Convention, wishing to visit the Lunatic Asylum (at Jefferson and Broad), I took them in my carriage and set out on the perilous undertaking of reaching that institution; and by trespassing on the gravel sidewalk of Mr. Kelley (near Fifth and Broad), and some others,
we contrived to get within 40 or 50 rods of the Asylum gate, when we were stuck fast in the mud, and after breaking the carriage and harness in endeavoring to proceed, we were compelled to wade on foot through the mire.” The arrival of 26,000 Union troops at Camp Chase did not help improve city cleanliness much. A local paper complained in 1865 as the Civil War was ending that, “Our Street Commissioner, having wakened up from his Rip Van Winkle slumbers, was out yesterday with an overwhelming force, consisting of a one-legged man and two assistants, actively engaged in cleaning up … Heaven knows there is need of it.” By the early 1870s, Columbus was growing rapidly and the downtown near the Statehouse was being kept reasonably clean. The area north of town near the railyards was another matter: “The weather at present writing warrants a hope that navigation between the National Hotel (Nationwide and High Street) and the North Graveyard (North Market) will be closed today. For several days, it has been impossible to get a respectable footing anywhere in the territory described above. We doubt whether such a sea of mud has ever afflicted any other city.” Actually, many other cities had precisely the same problems. If anything, Columbus — because it was the capital city — was probably cleaner than most cities of comparable size in these years. At last in 1886, a program of relatively regular street cleaning was begun in Columbus. A fourhorse sweeper began to clean High Street six nights a week. By 1892, the service was being performed by two two-horse sweepers. But even this service was not uniform, since it was paid for by local property owners who desired it. It would take another generation for really complete street See AS IT WERE, page A5
Plain Township is trying to lease space at 39 Second St. and a portion of the building at 45 Second St. that also houses the township administrative offices. During their June 1 meeting, trustees approved a lease option for Greg Gould, who is hoping to put a music studio at 45 Second St. The space currently is occupied by the Hayley Gallery, which is moving to 270 Main St. in August. Gould, president of GnG Music Instruction, met with trustees in April and inquired about the gallery space, which is adjacent to the township offices. Gould told trustees that he would have eight private classrooms and a larger space that could be used for band practice. He said the studio would be open 3:30 to 8:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, so most of the musi-
cians would be in the building after township offices close at 5 p.m. Gould has been in business for three years and he currently teaches private lessons in area homes. He works with about 60 New Albany families. He said the studio probably would not interest those students but could attract new ones. He said he has businesses in Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati and is looking for more space in central Ohio. He said the business model is a little different because there will be recording equipment in each lesson room, which allows lessons to be reviewed by students, teachers and parents. Plain Township administrator Ben Collins said through the lease option, Gould would give the township $500 to hold the space for 30 days without leasing it to anyone else. Trustee Dave Olmstead said he had no issues with the option and the township currently has no other interested tenants.
The other building at 39 Second St. will be vacant at the end of June when the township’s lease with One World Communications expires. The building has 1,300 square feet of space. In other business, trustees rescinded a resolution to hire P&L Systems to do engineering for Maplewood Cemetery improvements. Tom Rybski, president of P&L, is the township’s representative to the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel, which makes recommendations on township rezoning requests based on compliance with the accord plan. After getting a legal opinion, the trustees decided to rescind the resolution to hire P&L and instead use local engineering and consulting firm EMH&T. P&L’s bid was $5,500 and EMH&T’s was $6,800. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
Vet clinic rezoning request on council agenda Letter
Drug discount cards available To the editor: Three years ago, Franklin County commissioners rolled out a free prescription discount card designed to help residents save money on their prescription medications. Last month, the savings to county residents exceeded $2 million, making Franklin County is the first county in Ohio and the 33rd in the nation to reach this mark. The program is available to Franklin County as a member of the National Association of Counties (NACo). Cards are available at most public buildings, including libraries, county buildings
and senior centers. They also come in Spanish. Residents can print a card online or request one be mailed to them at www.franklincountyohio.gov/rx. This program offers real savings to people that need it. Families without health care coverage, or who have gaps in their coverage, are able to save almost a quarter of the cost of their prescription. As we pull ourselves out of this recession, this program is helping people get the medication they need and still put food on the dinner table.

POLICE DOG
A great gift to commemorate a special achievement or your newsmaker!
Continued from page A1 are trained to leave a vehicle immediately when the door opens. Chaney said the department met with representatives of the company that manufactures the device that opens the door. They determined it was installed correctly. Officials are now trying to determine how the door malfunctioned. Chaney said if the department gets a new canine officer, the door system probably would not be used. “We will probably not go with the door-lock system again,” he said. “I think the risks outweigh the asset.” Chaney said the department would like another police dog because of the success of Strahler and Bungee. “We were seeing some success with our canine program and would like to continue some of the good work officer Strahler was doing with the canine program,” he said.
Bungee was a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois and the city’s first police dog. He came from Germany and arrived in New Albany on Aug. 2. Though he already had 300 hours of training, he went through more than 500 hours of training with his new handler, Strahler. The two began their service together in late September. Bungee lived with Strahler and his family the entire time he worked in New Albany. He was used as a patrol dog and was trained to track suspects and find lost people, such as elderly residents with Alzheimer’s disease, who might wander from their residences. Bungee also could sniff out drugs in buildings. During his service, Bungee completed 57 searches and four drug sweeps of schools. He assisted neighboring police departments in four searches and was part of 23 cases where charges were filed. Bungee was purchased with $7,500 in grants from the New Albany Community Foundation and the Limited Foundation.

Plain Township Fire Department
Rupp: Consultant could help finish master plan By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Plain Township trustees are considering an outside consultant to help finish the fire department’s master plan. “We sometimes struggle to make people understand our needs,” said Assistant Fire Chief Jack Rupp. Rupp said a consultant might be able to compile the data already collected into a list of recommendations that anyone could understand. The fire department began working in September to update the five-year master plan. The plan, created in 2000 by consultant Tom Grile, included provisions for hiring personnel and making equipment purchases over a five- to 10-year period. Rupp said firefighters have been compiling information from New Albany, the New Albany Co. and various other planning organizations, such as the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission. Also, New Albany officially was certified as a city in April, with a population of 7,724, according to the 2010 census. Rupp said the numbers the firefighters have looked at show the potential for growth and increased calls for service north of state Route 161, where there are several business campuses expanding and traffic is increasing because of the widening project of Route 161 east of New Albany. He said the fire station at 9500 Johnstown Road is poised to serve that area but, as the demand for service north of Route 161 increases, areas south of Route 161 could be affected. “It could create a void in established areas to the south,” he said. “We think that’s what the plan will show.” Rupp said the firefighters’research indicates another fire station may be needed. During their meeting June 1, trustees heard a presentation from MSA Architects, a consulting

firm based in Cincinnati that has worked with many Ohio fire departments on planning. In its proposal, MSA said it could complete the plan for $12,500 to $15,000. The department paid $25,000 for completion of the current master plan. Rick Trip, a principal with MSA, acknowledged the work already compiled by firefighters and said their research shows the area has experienced growth and is “poised for change.” “The effect on public-safety services can be staggering,” he said. Trip said MSA proposes to take the compiled data and use it to create more refined maps of the department’s service areas and calls for service. It would also map predicted future growth and potential locations for a new station. Trustee Dave Olmstead said the fire department also must understand the external impacts from outside the coverage area. Plain Township is one of several fire departments in central Ohio that uses mutual aid, meaning fire departments can respond to calls outside their coverage area if the department with jurisdiction is tied up on another emergency call. The Columbus, Mifflin Township and Jefferson Township fire departments, for example, all have responded to calls in New Albany and Plain Township, and Plain Township firefighters have worked in those areas, as well. Trip said MSA would help the fire department present its mission so it folds into the vision and mission for the city and the township. The result, he said, would be a community plan, not a fire department plan. “What we’re trying to do with our education and background is to kind of take a step back and make it really easy for someone to understand,” Trip said. Trustees Dave Ferguson and Olmstead said they would speak to the third trustee, Bud Zappitelli, who was absent June 1, and consider a contract with MSA for the next meeting, slated for June 15.

UNION Continued from page A1 The FOP Lodge No. 9 represents all agencies in Franklin County except two supervisory units, Pappas said. Of those, the FOP negotiates contracts for 18. “Once SERB recognizes us as the sole and exclusive representing body for the New Albany police officers, not the supervisors,
and SERB recognizes us as such, we would represent them in contract negotiations and work through grievances and such,” Pappas said. Though there is a referendum to put Ohio Senate Bill 5 on the ballot in November, which could overturn the bill’s proposed restrictions on union negotiations and collective bargaining for public employees, Pappas said, if New
Albany officers want union representation, they would have it. If Senate Bill 5 is upheld by voters, it would limit some of the negotiations but it would not take away representation, Pappas said. City council set aside funds in the 2011 budget for legal representation on contract negotiations in the event of unions organizing in New Albany.

STATE CHAMPIONS Eagles’ Cordell, Windle win titles By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The moment that Taneisha Cordell of the New Albany High School girls track and field team was tripped by another runner and didn’t finish the 800 meters at the Division I state meet last year, coach Otis Winston felt like he failed her. But that day galvanized the relationship between the coach and athlete, which helped Cordell win the 800 in this year’s state meet, held June 3 and 4 at Ohio State. She won the event in a meet-record 2 minutes, 7.35 seconds. “I felt that I let her down last year, that I was the reason she lost the 800,” Winston said. “She’s by far the most versatile athlete in Ohio where she can run anything from sprints to the mile. I didn’t want to put her in a position again where she could get boxed in and get tripped. “She came to me at the end of the state meet (last year) and I told her we’re going to try some different things, (that) I don’t need no complaining. The end result was magical.” Cordell completed the first lap in about a minute to build a lead over the defending champion, Cincinnati McAuley’s Danielle Pfeifer, who ended up finishing second in 2:10.15. “I used (getting tripped at state last year) as motivation every day,” said Cordell, who also won the state title in the 800 as a sophomore at Reynoldsburg. “From that moment on, I thought about it every day. I got my spot back.” Cordell, who has signed with the University of Miami (Fla.), plans to run at least once more in a national competition before

leaving for college. The 3,200 relay of Mycah Mason, Mirra Galbreath, Lexi Simpson and Cordell benefited from having Cordell as the anchor, as it placed fourth in 9:15.7. The Eagles finished behind Mason (9:13.09), McAuley (9:13.12) and Lebanon (9:15.24). Dublin Coffman, which had beaten the Eagles in the regional meet May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North, finished seventh in 9:17.72. When Cordell took the baton from Simpson, the Eagles were 10th. “I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish this season,” said Galbreath, who had been sidelined with a calf injury before returning for the OCCCapital Division meet held May
12 and 14. “I have only been running for four weeks, so it was cool to be able to come out here and run with this team. It was awesome.” Mason also competed at state in the 300 hurdles, finishing 11th in 45.18 behind the champion, Middleburg Heights Midpark’s Kaila Barber (41.99). New Albany scored 15 points at state to place 11th behind champion Reynoldsburg (47), which won its third consecutive state title, as 70 teams scored. •The boys team was led at state by senior Drew Windle, who won the 800 in 1:51.94, edging runner-up Ethan Bokeno of Cincinnati LaSalle (1:52.43).

Emily Newman (7), Betsy Hamilton (2), Joanna Liu (18), Lakyn Goff (1), Lyndsie Cummans and their New Albany teammates show their disappointment after a 14-7 loss to Medina in a state semifinal June 3 at Gates Mills Hawken.
The New Albany High School girls lacrosse team got stung by Medina in a Division I state semifinal for the second consecutive season. The Eagles trailed the defending state champion Bees by six goals at halftime en route to a 14-7 loss June 3 at Gates Mills Hawken. Medina defeated Upper Arlington 14-13 in double overtime in the state final June 4. The Bees defeated New Albany 11-10 in a state semifinal last season. “They’re obviously a great team and incredibly athletic with their starters,” coach Dave Ferguson said of Medina. “We didn’t play one of our better games, either. We lost to them earlier by one goal (13-12 on May 13), but we came out flat-

footed and just never could make up (a 9-3 halftime) deficit.” The Eagles finished 15-4 overall and were fifth in the final laxpower.com rankings. The Bees finished 16-2 and were first in the final rankings, with Upper Arlington, Cleveland Heights and Hudson rounding out the top four. Division II state cham-
pion Columbus Academy, which finished 16-1-1, was seventh in the final rankings. “Being 15-4, winning the OCC-Buckeye (Division) and being regional champs, nobody should be disappointed,” said Ferguson, whose team was looking to win a fourth state title in six seasons after capturing Division II championships from 2007-09. “Ultimately, our goal was to win the state championship, but the girls have a lot to feel good about. We still had a great year.” The Eagles went 5-0 in the OCC-Buckeye to finish ahead of Upper Arlington (4-1), Thomas Worthington (3-2), Worthington Kilbourne (2-3) and Dublin Coffman (1-4). New Albany defeated the Golden Bears 11-10 in overtime April 19. See LACROSSE, page B3

Boys Tennis
Depth should help New Albany next season By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Despite losing a senior class that included a member of the 2010 Division I state runners-up doubles team, New Albany High School boys tennis coach Andrew Sinclair is far from worried. “We had a lot of talented players on the bench,” Sinclair said. “We have some new freshmen coming in with experience. It’s going to be a dogfight next year just to see who’s going to play.” New Albany, which finished 18-3 overall and won its fifth consecutive OCC-Capital Division championship, loses three seniors in John Hendrix, Sam Romanoff and Sean Yun. Hendrix and 2010 graduate Riyad Bennoui lost 6-4, 6-1 to Upper Arlington’s Stu Little and Billy Weldon in the state title match in doubles last year. Among those expected to return are
four starters in juniors Ameen Farwana, Jordan Rabe and Oliver Sybert and freshman Steven Miller Jr. Miller was the Eagles’ lone state qualifier this season. Hobbled by an ankle injury, he lost to Westlake’s Colton Buffington 6-2, 6-4 in the first round May 27 at Hilliard Davidson after placing fourth at district May 20-21 at Davidson. Miller reached a district semifinal match against Thomas Worthington’s Casey Cempre before getting injured. He lost the first set 6-1 but won the second set 6-4 before having to default because of the injury. He was not able to play the third-place match. Farwana and Rabe spent most of the season playing second doubles and Sybert mostly played first doubles with Hendrix. However, Sybert played third singles in a 3-2 win over Upper Arlington on April 20 in the second round of the Ohio Tennis Coaches Association Division I tournament, defeating the
At a glance
•Record: 18-3 overall, 7-0 (first) in OCCCapital •Seniors lost: John Hendrix, Sam Romanoff and Sean Yun •Key returnees: Ameen Farwana, Steven Miller Jr., Jordan Rabe and Oliver Sybert
Golden Bears’ Brandon Griffin 7-6, 76. Sinclair called the victory the biggest win in his 17 years of coaching. “Since my freshmen year, we’ve constantly been ranked in the top part of the state rankings and we always got beat by UA,” Romanoff said. “Everyone was so ecstatic when we were able to finally beat them.” New Albany went on to defeat Gahanna 3-2 in a district semifinal May 18 and Thomas Worthington 4-1 in a district final May 24 before losing to
eventual state champion Toledo St. John’s 3-1 in a state semifinal May 29. That same day, the Eagles lost to Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit 3-2 in a consolation match to place fourth in the OTCA tournament. New Albany’s lone setback during the regular season was a 4-1 loss to Cincinnati St. Xavier on April 10. St. Xavier represented the Southwest District in the OTCA state tournament, losing to St. John’s 3-1 in the final. The Eagles advanced to district on all five courts. In the sectional that concluded May 14 at Hilliard Darby, Miller won a sectional title, defeating Yun 6-1, 6-1 in the final, and Romanoff placed third. In doubles, Hendrix and Sybert were the sectional runners-up and Farwana and Rabe placed fourth. New Albany won all five courts in the OCC-Capital tournament May 7. The Eagles went 7-0 in the regularseason league matches and finished
the league tournament with 76 points, finishing ahead of Olentangy Orange (6-1, 52), Big Walnut (5-2, 39), Delaware (3-3, 31), Hilliard Bradley (3-3, 24), Watkins Memorial (2-5, 22), Franklin Heights (1-6, 7) and Mount Vernon (0-7, 6). “Losing Sam Romanoff and Sean Yun, they were our co-captains and they were very inspirational and fostered a good attitude for the team,” Sinclair said. “They’re going to be sorely missed. “John Hendrix, he’s not the inspirational, rah-rah type, but you have to have all types. In the team tournament, we were able to play him in some singles matches and he did what we expected. The thing is, he was also such a good doubles player.” In addition to Farwana, Miller, Rabe and Sybert, expected to return are junior Julian Judge and sophomores Ryan McDonald and Jacob Teich. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Academy Roundup
Girls lacrosse squad, 3,200 relay win titles By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Columbus Academy girls lacrosse team captured its first state championship since 2000, beating Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown 13-11 in the Division II state final June 4 at Gates Mills Hawken. The Vikings, who finished 161-1 overall, jumped out to a 61 first-half lead before holding off the Blazers. “This is awesome,” coach Anne Horton said. “We’ve been such a work in progress over the last several years with the reconfiguration of the state alignment dividing into Division I and Division II. It’s given our program kind of a shot in the arm that we’ve had a chance to compete for another state championship.” With the victory, Academy avenged state semifinal losses to Hathaway Brown each of the past two seasons. The Vikings lost to the Blazers 13-10 in 2009 and lost 19-13 last season. “Our team was so passionate and we really wanted it this year,” sophomore Courtney Deena said. “Nobody could have stopped us. We’re just so excited.” In the state final, junior Meredith McCloud led the Vikings with four goals, followed by Deena and senior Allie Roehrenbeck with three apiece. Junior goalkeeper Sarah Wilson had 11 saves. “We knew we had to work as a team,” Roehrenbeck said. “We needed to communicate and just play our game.” Academy opened the South/Central Region tournament by beating Hilliard Bradley 166 on May 19.

Against Rocky River, Roehrenbeck scored the game-winning goal with 8 seconds left. Academy also won the Central Independent League for the second year in a row, going 7-0 to finish ahead of Hartley (5-2), Wellington (5-2), CSG (4-2), Watterson (3-3), Bexley (2-5), DeSales (1-6) and Granville (0-7).
The Vikings’ lone setback was a 13-10 loss to Cincinnati Mariemont on April 15. They tied Hudson Western Reserve Academy at 7 on April 30. “The team had to believe in themselves, have trust among their teammates and building off of that and the great leadership, and with those three pillars of groundwork, it certainly gave us time to develop our core unit that just continued to grow through the course of the season,” Horton said.
Roehrenbeck led the team in scoring with 49 goals and 22 assists, followed by Deena (45 goals, 4 assists) and Leickly (43 goals, 6 assists). Wilson finished with 151 saves. In addition to Roehrenbeck, the Vikings lose seniors Catherine Aronowitz, Aubree Dipman, Alex Shahade and Bekkah Stahl. •The boys 3,200-meter relay placed first in the Division III state track and field meet, which was held June 3 and 4 at Ohio

We have one senior (at state in Sutton) who is leaving and then they’ll all be coming back and trying this thing again.” The Vikings scored 20 points to tie Defiance Tinora for fifth behind champion McDonald (44) as 73 teams scored. “We knew we could come out here and do this,” Hilsheimer said. “We were so pumped. We’re really excited.” The girls team was represented at state by sophomore Sarah Timko, who placed 12th in the high jump by clearing 5 feet.

Academy Roundup
Girls lacrosse squad, 3,200 relay win titles By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Columbus Academy girls lacrosse team captured its first state championship since 2000, beating Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown 13-11 in the Division II state final June 4 at Gates Mills Hawken. The Vikings, who finished 161-1 overall, jumped out to a 61 first-half lead before holding off the Blazers. “This is awesome,” coach Anne Horton said. “We’ve been such a work in progress over the last several years with the reconfiguration of the state alignment dividing into Division I and Division II. It’s given our program kind of a shot in the arm that we’ve had a chance to compete for another state championship.” With the victory, Academy avenged state semifinal losses to Hathaway Brown each of the past two seasons. The Vikings lost to the Blazers 13-10 in 2009 and lost 19-13 last season. “Our team was so passionate and we really wanted it this year,” sophomore Courtney Deena said. “Nobody could have stopped us. We’re just so excited.” In the state final, junior Meredith McCloud led the Vikings with four goals, followed by Deena and senior Allie Roehrenbeck with three apiece. Junior goalkeeper Sarah Wilson had 11 saves. “We knew we had to work as a team,” Roehrenbeck said. “We needed to communicate and just play our game.” Academy opened the South/Central Region tournament by beating Hilliard Bradley 166 on May 19. The Vikings then defeated Cincinnati Summit Country Day 10-8 in a regional

semifinal on May 24, beat Columbus School for Girls 1413 in a regional final on May 26 and defeated Rocky River 11-10 in a state semifinal on June 3. Against Rocky River, Roehrenbeck scored the game-winning goal with 8 seconds left. Academy also won the Central Independent League for the second year in a row, going 7-0 to finish ahead of Hartley (5-2), Wellington (5-2), CSG (4-2), Watterson (3-3), Bexley (2-5), DeSales (1-6) and Granville (0-7).
The Vikings’ lone setback was a 13-10 loss to Cincinnati Mariemont on April 15. They tied Hudson Western Reserve Academy at 7 on April 30. “The team had to believe in themselves, have trust among their teammates and building off of that and the great leadership, and with those three pillars of groundwork, it certainly gave us time to develop our core unit that just continued to grow through the course of the season,” Horton said.
Roehrenbeck led the team in scoring with 49 goals and 22 assists, followed by Deena (45 goals, 4 assists) and Leickly (43 goals, 6 assists). Wilson finished with 151 saves. In addition to Roehrenbeck, the Vikings lose seniors Catherine Aronowitz, Aubree Dipman, Alex Shahade and Bekkah Stahl. •The boys 3,200-meter relay placed first in the Division III state track and field meet, which was held June 3 and 4 at Ohio

We have one senior (at state in Sutton) who is leaving and then they’ll all be coming back and trying this thing again.” The Vikings scored 20 points to tie Defiance Tinora for fifth behind champion McDonald (44) as 73 teams scored. “We knew we could come out here and do this,” Hilsheimer said. “We were so pumped. We’re really excited.” The girls team was represented at state by sophomore Sarah Timko, who placed 12th in the high jump by clearing 5 feet.
State, in 7 minutes, 48.41 seconds. The relay consisted of senior John Sutton, junior Jon Michael Hilsheimer, sophomore Dominic Facciolla and freshman Jack Lint.

LACROSSE Continued from page B1 The Eagles lose five seniors, including goalkeeper Sam Arey, a four-year letterwinner who has signed to play at Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C., and defenders Katie Lackey, a two-year starter, and Joanna Liu. The other seniors are attacker Alison Underhill, a twoyear starter, and midfielder Savannah Sabo. Many of the offensive standouts, however, are expected to return, including junior midfielder Emily Newman, who led the team with 73 goals, and sophomore attacker Elaina Enich, who had 66 goals. Junior attacker Katie Hernandez scored 27 goals, and sophomore midfielder Morgan Fee had 21 goals and led the team by winning 90 draws. Others expected to return include sophomore Hannah Sommerlot, who played in goal for much of the season as Arey played in the field. Sommerlot suffered a concussion in a 1710 loss to Cleveland Heights on May 7 and did not return. Arey had 21 saves in the state semifinal and was in goal for the Eagles’ 9-3 victory over West Chester Lakota West in a regional final May 26. Also expected back are jun-

Financial finesse
Wedding planning on a budget Your wedding day may be one you have dreamed about your entire life. In those dreams, it’s likely that no expense was spared in making the event memorable for you and your guests. When it comes time to actually plan your wedding, however, you’ll likely be operating on a much tighter budget than you had in those dreams. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to make the event spectacular without spending a small fortune. In addition to the following tips, research will yield many books and online resources devoted to this topic. Schedule your wedding out of season. There’s no right or wrong time to plan your wedding, but there are dates that are more popular, and thus more expensive. Avoiding the early summer and early fall months makes it easier to negotiate lower prices with vendors. Additionally, Fridays and Sundays tend to be less expensive than Saturdays. Choose a nontraditional venue for your ceremony or reception. Holding your event in a backyard, park, on public grounds or in another location that doesn’t specialize in hosting weddings is both unique and can be a big cost-saver. Remember, however, to take into consideration the cost of tables, chairs and other rentals. Don’t spend a lot on invitations. Couples may think the invitation sets the tone for the wedding, but the reality is, guests rarely remember the invite after opening the envelope. Consider cutting costs by choosing less expensive invitations or even making your own. For the response card, opt for a postcard or even an electronic reply on one of the popular wedding websites to save even more. Get your friends and family involved. There are likely some very talented people in your circle of friends. Tap them to be part of your special day. You can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by asking your friends to fill important roles such as photographer, DJ and florist.

Find something borrowed. Friends and family may have centerpieces, apparel or other items from their wedding that they would be honored to loan you for yours. Ask around. Purchase in season. MICHELLE When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will JOHNSON be in season on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likely have more beautiful arrangements. The same principle works with menu planning. Look for local and in-season foods when deciding what you’ll serve at the reception. Negotiate. Don’t hesitate to ask for a discount from your vendors and suppliers. In a tough economy, they may be willing to offer you great rates to get your business. And there’s no harm in asking. Rent what you can’t afford to buy. Although most brides opt to purchase and store their wedding dress after the big day, few ever wear or do anything with the gown again. By renting, you can wear a designer dress for a fraction of the cost of purchasing. Reduce the size of your guest list and wedding party. Scrutinize your guest list and consider limiting the number of your attendants. Scaling back can help you save on the cost of invitations, favors, meals and more. Make wedding purchases with a rewards card. Rather than writing a check, consider using a credit card that rewards you with frequent-flier miles, hotel points or even cash back. Depending on how much you spend, the rewards could help defray the cost of your honeymoon travel. For additional financial assistance, contact Michelle Johnson, financial center manager with Fifth Third Bank. She welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions. Contact her at (614) 492-8888 or MichelleA.Johnson@53.com.

that he’s able to do what he does for a living. No, literally. Aside from his catchy nickname (more on that later) and one-of-a-kind licks and riffs, doing back flips and other stage gymnastics is what Shorty’s known for. Shorty started doing the flips when he was in his teens, encouraged by one of his mentors, Guitar Slim, to add some showmanship to his performances. That was in the 1950s. He’ll still do a flip today at age 71. “I just like to have myself some fun,” he told The Beat. “But you can’t get too excited, and you have to do it in time, in rhythm. If the band is going crazy and they don’t know what’s coming, well, one time I ended up with my right arm in a sling.” Shorty tells the story of his influence on a young Jimi Hendrix (Shorty would befriend and later marry Jimi’s half-sister), of whom Shorty said, “Jimi would go AWOL from his Army base to catch my local shows. He told me the reason he started setting his guitar on fire was because he couldn’t do the back flips like I did. “I’m up there to entertain and make the fans happy,” Shorty told The Beat. Born David Kearney in Houston, Texas, and raised by his grandmother in Kissimmee, Fla., Shorty attempted to follow in his uncle’s footsteps as a guitar player. As a 6-year-old, Shorty said, he would sneak into his uncle’s room once he’d gone to work and try to play the guitar, until one day he’d just about given up. “I was kicking it and slamming the strings. I told my grandmother ‘I hate that guitar,’” he said. “My grandmother asked my uncle, ‘Will you teach that boy to play

guitar before I kill him?’” Long hours on his uncle’s knee gave way to a gig with a local band — but being a kid in a band full of adults also meant he was the shortest member of the band. A club owner laid the moniker Guitar Shorty on him then, and it stuck. His reputation was growing as well, and he caught the ear of blues master Willie Dixon and that of Ray Charles, who hired him and with whom he spent a year on the road, still in his teens. In the 1950s and ’60s, Shorty toured and recorded the occasional single. He moved to the Los Angeles area in the ’70s, and played gigs with every blues star, including B.B. King, Johnny Copeland and T-Bone Walker. But it wasn’t until the ’90s that he began a serious recording career. His new CD, Bare Knuckles,
is his seventh — third for Alligator Records. “I still enjoy what I’m doing,” he said. “I’m thankful every day for the gift to be able to do this.” Shorty admitted that most of his trademark licks are recorded live rather than rehearsed. Still, the studio is no substitute for the stage. “Stuff just comes to me while I’m playing. The same song tonight and tomorrow night is not going to sound the same,” he explained. “If you do the same thing over and over, it’s like eating the same food all the time — it gets stale. “If you can’t be creative, you’re wasting your time. That’s what music’s all about.” ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Guitar Shorty, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com/blogs.
New chef brings menu thrills to The Rossi “The thrill is goooone, baaaaby,” yowled B.B. King as I was seated at a rare available table in The Rossi Bar + Kitchen. Usually, a shopworn song like this deflates my mood. But that night (Was it the festive crowd? The stylish restaurant?), the old tune felt almost fresh. And hey, I’ve got nothing against B.B., but as the evening progressed, I realized the blues dude’s words couldn’t have been more off base. Because the thoroughly fabulous food I began slamming back at the Rossi proved the thrill is most certainly not gone here. Actually, I haven’t been more enthusiastic about this place since reviewing it the week it opened, in April 2005. My excitement grew from fantastic nightly specials and spread to just-introduced menu items rolled out by the Rossi’s bright new chef,Andrew Smith. Formerly working in that artsy hotbed of culinary daring called Portland, Ore., Smith’s stuff has been creative without tasting strange, ingredient-conscious without sounding
MENU by G.A. Benton precious. This translates into meals as good as I’ve recently had anywhere in town. Before eating, though, try one of the Rossi’s wild cocktails, like the giggly Beet Down ($10). Not only does this rubycolored, hefty, aromatic oddball go down considerably better than it sounds, but I kinda love it. Refreshingly, it’s a bit citrusy with orange-kissed Watershed Gin flying off pomegranate molasses, both grounded by splashes of earthy beet juice. Crystals of sea salt crust the cocktail glass, realigning the palate between sips. The lovely, light and lemony-dressed arugula salad ($10) is another new favorite.

cheese. Rimming the plate of regal greens are warm prosciutto-wrapped dates that bring smooth and chewy, sweet and meaty contrasts. Like all specials (including a nifty P.L.T.: pancetta, lettuce and tomato salad
with Lucky Penny feta) it’s listed on cards posted above the restaurant “pass.” There, you might also see a (sexily seared) scallop, (bacony) crispy pork rillette and tomatillo-jam appetizer. If you do, order this immediately. Ditto for a terrifically balanced soupof-the-day gazpacho ($6). Rustic yet lush, its fresh and colorful chopped vegetables (tomato, cucumber and red onion) were aromatized by a hint of basil and enriched by drops of an excellent olive oil plus pulverized bread. This brings us to what’s become a much-talked-about dish around town — the Rossi’s incredible new Pork and Beans ($18). Criminally undersold by its mundane name, this breakout entree can easily erase bad memories of underachieving predecessors of the same name. It begins with a huge and beautiful bone-in, center-cut pork chop, expertly char-grilled like the tender and juicy steak it is. On top is a mass of mayonnaisedressed slaw sharpened by sliced green
The Rossi Address: 895 N. High St., Short North Phone: 614-299-2810 Web: rossibarandkitchen.com apple and bits of pickled jalapeno. Surrounding this are gigantic, meaty and creamy corona beans (think extra-large butter beans) that are a riotous pleasure to eat. Combined, it all made for a comfort-food masterpiece dripping with so much arousing flavor that I literally had to pound on the table and declare, “Holy slab of hog, that’s good!” In a similar, dressed-up-casual vein was a glorious Pork Confit sandwich ($9) served with terrific fries. Assembled with carnitas-like strands of intensified pulled pig meat and pickled watermelon rind scented with cinnamon, it’s like the dream of a summertime picnic awakened by a clever chef. And another reason to visit the thrilling Rossi again.

his eyes on the Chase bank crowd in Westerville, where employees number in the 2,000 range. He hopes reasonable prices — no single dish tops $9 — and quick service should get people in the door. “To keep my concept working, I need the volume,” he said, noting that a full liquor license is in place. Banquet space will be used for large parties or spillover seating during restaurant hours. Patio seating also will be added. Nanak, which got its start in Bethel Center, has been long known for its quality, natural desserts. When Soltanirad and Tajik relocated to Westerville in late 2009, Nguyen opened his second Lac Viet in their Bethel Road storefront. Nanak offered a menu of savory items until recently. Soltanirad said it was too difficult to run the bakery and a separate eatery, so he brought in Nguyen. “I know him. I think his food is very good,” he said. “It’s something Westerville doesn’t have.” Nguyen established his first Lac Viet almost seven years ago in the North Market and later opened Phat Wraps, a healthy-food concept on campus. He said he has sold his interest in both restaurants so he could focus on his two other stores. In related news, Nguyen has attained a license through the Ohio Department of Agriculture that allows him to transport food from Lac Viet on Bethel to other locations, meaning he has turned that store into a commissary kitchen. He recently bought a 60-gallon stockpot and intends to sell his pho broth to other restaurants. “I’m ready for the next level,” he said. Lac Viet is open for lunch and dinner hours six days a week, closed Sunday. For more information, call 614-882-0588.

in the University District, he now operates Johnny Oak’s Cajun BBQ at the corner of High and Gay streets downtown. Oak said he’s there from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. His specialties are blackened beef brisket, pulled pork, rib tips — offered as sandwiches or part of a platter — and a smattering of sides, which change frequently. Incidentally, Oak said he got his start on a food truck at Central and McKinley avenues on the West Side of Columbus. Great China has opened in the old Fuddruckers location at 3586 W. Dublin-Granville Road, just east of Sawmill Road. The place offers a full Chinese menu (and a traditional menu for those who ask), plus a few Thai and Japanese dishes, said manager Brad Tsai. Great China seats 120 in roughly 5,000 square feet of space. The restaurant has a full liquor license. It is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614336-2465.
After 21 years in business, the Wine Vault on Sawmill Road has closed. The last day was Saturday, June 4. Manager John Smither, who had been there 16 years, chalked it up to fierce competition, particularly from the chains. “The pie’s not any bigger and it’s getting split Barbecue veteran Johnny Oak has returned to the mobile food business. In addition to his store thinner and thinner,” he said.
