Planning commission
TJX granted tree-planting variance By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers TJX only will have to plant nine trees per 100 feet at its new facility, according to the condition of a variance approved by the New Albany Planning Commission Dec. 20. The condition is subject to staff approval. TJX is building a 60,000-square-foot corporate technology center at the cor-
ner of state Route 605 and New Albany Road East. Village planner Michelle Murphy said TJX, which is the parent company of T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods, Marshalls and A.J. Wright, had conflicting information in the maps and text presented in the final development plan for the project, which was approved by the village in July. The text stated the company would plant 11 trees and 10 shrubs per 100 lin-
eal feet along Route 605. But the map showed only seven trees and a 6-foothigh mound, with no shrubs. Linda Menery of local engineering firm EMH&T said the map was correct and the text was incorrect. Murphy said the plantings are similar to the plans for the property to the south: eight trees per 100 linear feet, no shrubs and 6-foot-high mounds. Planning commission member David Demers asked what another neighbor-
ing property, Sorensen and Sorensen Optometrists at the northeast corner of Walton Parkway and Route 605, was required to have. Murphy confirmed that property, for which two office buildings are planned, would have nine trees per 100 linear feet. Demers said the commission should do the same thing “for the purposes of being consistent with businesses both big and small.” Menery said TJX already has plant-
ed nine trees per 100 lineal feet in the setback from Route 605, if both deciduous trees and evergreens are counted. In other business, the planning commission tabled a zoning request to add a patio to the Shops at Walton Parkway, 9865-9765 Johnstown Road. The application is “to add approximately 700 square feet of patio space to the north and east sides of the building for use as See TJX, page A3

The Ohio Controlling Board on Dec. 13 awarded a $150,000 Rapid Outreach Grant to the Knowlton Development Corp. for its 250,000square-foot manufacturing plant in New Albany’s business park east. The grant, which is expected to be the final state incentive for the company, covers “costs associated with the acquisition of new machinery and equipment in support of the company’s project,” according to information from the state. Knowlton Development Corp. has several companies that manufacture personal-care and beauty products. The company’s $55-million project is expected to create 200 jobs with an estimated annual payroll of $8-million. The facility will be part of the personal care and beauty campus, which extends north and south of state Route 161 and east and west of Beech Road. The company already has received 55-percent job-creation tax credit for nine years, which is valued at an estimated $655,000. This refundable credit, issued through the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, allows a company to be refunded a percentage of its income taxes paid annually for the term of the incentive.

By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers New Albany High School is investigating ways to increase intervention for general education and gifted students. Assistant principal Rex Reeder told the school board Dec. 13 that 307 had failing grade during the first semester of the school year. After identifying each student and having the teacher fill out an academic alert form for each, teachers met one on one with the students to assess each situation. “Sixty-three percent of those failures went away after those conversations,” Reeder said.

INTERVENTION Continued from page A1 He said the board may expect 100 percent of the failures to go away, which is what the high school is working toward with the new intervention program. “We have to take baby steps,” Reeder said. “This is a three- to five-year process.” Principal Ric Stranges said failures previously were part of the bell curve that is not acceptable now. “We need to have some accountability for failures and determine how we can best intervene at the classroom level,” Stranges said. Reeder said a number of issues with the failing grades were homework-based. The high school administration is looking at the background of its students and also considering how each student learns information presented in the classroom. Teachers also must be retrained to differentiate when instructing students, Reeder said. “There are so many different student levels (of learning) in our classrooms, we have to train our teachers to differentiate,” he said. The school is looking at a three-tier approach to intervention. It will incorporate intense individualized intervention, small-group supplemental instruction and screening and core instruction for general education (GE) students. The GE students could receive homework help, math and writing labs and smallgroup time. Reeder said his staff members also are working with middle school teachers to determine if any transitions from middle to high school classes are a problem. He also said 268 high school students have been identified as “gifted” and the high school does not have a gifted-education coordinator like the lower grades. “Those students need help, too,” he said. Reeder said many of the students identified as gifted are not taking advantage of higher-level classes available to them, which is why the school asked them to complete a survey so administrators can learn why. Reeder said one way to improve enrollment in advanced

placement classes, for example, may be to market the classes to the students. Board member Natalie Matt said that is a concern after she reviewed the survey Reeder provided. It showed one gifted student who wasn’t signed up for any higher-level courses. Board member Mike Klein said NAHS may need a giftededucation coordinator, even if most other high schools do not. Reeder said the administration has started the process by looking into ways to provide intervention for gifted students. School officials also are considering ways to transition between high school classes, as well as between the middle school and high school. Madeline Partlow, director of teaching and learning, said five new high school courses have been recommended for the 201112 school year. She said while working with Stranges and Reeder on the high school intervention programs, they determined they might be able to strengthen high school science classes and the transition to physics by changing the order of science classes offered. Currently, freshmen take biology. Instead, Partlow is proposing that freshmen take a physical sciences class and sophomores take biology. Students would then be required to take physical science and Algebra I to study the physics course, which was changed as part of the proposed new class list. An AP Calculus BC course also is being suggested. Partlow
said many high school students who currently want a second calculus class have to take a course through The Ohio State University. She recommends the school offer the course on its own campus. “It strengthens the program,” she said. A business principles and marketing class also was added at the suggestion of a high school accounting teacher. Partlow said the teacher found he could teach accounting in one semester and study other business-related topics in the yearlong course. The new course will feature “business basics, marketing research, promotion and advertising, management and human resources, price planning and strategizing, sales, facility, location and distribution considerations, finance and accounting, product development, customer focus and service, branding, packaging and labeling and business planning,” she said. The fifth class being requested is a digital imaging and media class. Partlow said there is more interest than space in the darkroom photography class, so this would allow more students to take photography and learn other digital concepts. It would be considered an art class. The board tabled the new course recommendations during the Dec. 13 meeting. Board president Mark Ryan said the board would vote on those recommendations in January. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Resident’s startup a hot commodity By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers New Albany resident Jeff Lusenhop has been recognized for several business accomplishments in 2010 and he feels 2011 “is going to be even better.” Lusenhop is the founder of Janova, a business originally known in New Albany as Arc Consulting. It has morphed into an innovative software-testing company. Janova received the New Albany Chamber of Commerce’s outstanding business of 2010 award during the Dec. 16 annual holiday chamber luncheon. The company also was recognized by TechColumbus as one of its “outstanding 2010 startup businesses.” “Personally and professionally, it was a good year for me,” Lusenhop said, noting that he also spent much of 2010 losing 80 pounds and increasing his bicycling endurance, culminating in a 102-mile ride in the Ohio Pelotonia bicycle tour to raise money for cancer research. Lusenhop has lived in New Albany since the mid-1990s. He decided to take a risk and leave a high-paying job to start his own company. He said he discovered the need for information consultants while working as the chief information officer for AT&T International and then as an executive with Nationwide Insurance Co.’s property and casualty division, “My external consulting budget with Nationwide was $120-million,” Lusenhop said. So he walked out of corporate life and moved into the Water’s Edge building in New Albany, where he felt many business leaders live. “The New Albany community is a powerful business community that’s small enough
that you can still leverage contacts,” he said. “This is a great business environment and a great business community and we’ve benefited from being here. In the Water’s Edge building on Walton ParkJeff Lusenhop way, Lusenhop was next door to developers working for the New Albany Co., executives working for The Limited and down the street from the entire office and distribution staff of Abercrombie & Fitch. He initially called his business Arc Consultants because he wasn’t sure how the company would unfold. It began in 2002 as a company providing custom software development and packaging software solutions. It wasn’t until 2010 that the need for Janova developed, Lusenhop said. “We found that when a lot of companies we were working with got to the testing phase (for software), they were not sure how to approach it,” he said. The company’s name reflects its goals, Lusenhop said. “Jan” is derived from the Roman god Janus, who most often is depicted with two heads showing his views of the future and past, looking both forward and back, “Ova” comes from the word innovation, which is how the company’s final product was developed. Janova does not require users to have a degree in information technology and be able to write technical computer codes for each test. Lusenhop said his employees convert normal questions asked by users in plain English into technical script that the software can understand. “We are the only commercial offering world-
wide, I think, that allows the person doing the analysis to describe what you want the site to do in English,” Lusenhop said. Using the modern method of cloud computing — Internet-based applications, tools and infrastructure — Janova can also complete the tests in less than half the time that many companies spend running only one test, Lusenhop said. As an example, if a company has 20 tests to run that typically take one hour each to complete, it could spend up to 20 hours running one test at a time, he said. Janova uses cloud technology to run all 20 tests at the same time, which reduces the time to one hour. Lusenhop determined Janova was the business that would take him into the future in March 2010 and launched the new company in September. Just a few months later, he has 5,400 users of the service and he’s now learning more about “e-commerce” than ever. “That’s part of the fun, not knowing,” he said. Arc Consultants didn’t have a marketing department, a sales department or a software development department. “We had to bring in people with different types of skills with the expansion,” he said. Janova now employs 45 people in the same Water’s Edge building where Lusenhop got his start. Can he do better in 2011? “We’re just getting started,” Lusenhop said of Janova. “It’s time to figure out how to market ourselves even better.” He said he has a “road map for the software side” and is ready to expand the company. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
Continued from page A1 an outdoor dining area for the Don Patron Mexican Restaurant.” Since the application was submitted, Don Patron was shut down in June after an undercover New Albany police officer set up a drug deal through the assistant manager and reopened in August as Three Amigos. Several restaurant employees were arrested, and some were identified as potential illegal immigrants and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The application was tabled several times in 2010 because the applicant, Jeanne Cabral Architects, was asked to submit further information, which was not provided. Planning commission members said they have been tabling the application because if they take it off the table and vote against it for lack of information, the applicant would have to reapply and pay the filing fee to have the issue brought before the commission again. Murphy agreed, at the commission’s request, to find out by the January planning meeting whether the applicant wants to move forward with the application.

Council approves new sign code for village By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
December 23, 2010
Visit our website A locally owned network of 23 award-winning community newspapers. for breaking news.
A closer look
New Albany recently updated its sign code, which will provide new guidelines for developers and business owners, as well as give them access to materials not previously used in the village. Village council passed an ordinance Dec. 7 to replace the previous code. Kathryn Meyer, deputy director of community development, said the previous code required more and more variances each year, so the village decided it was time to offer more guidance and set parameters for residents and business wanting to install signs. The village began development of the new sign code in the spring, and the draft plan was recommended for approval by both the village’s planning commission and architectural review board (ARB). The new code includes examples of appropriate signs in different zoning districts and specifies the number and type of signs that can be used in a particular zoning designation. The village center, for example, will allow different types of signs than the business campuses. Before approving the new code, council members amended the legislation to include some clarifications provided by Mayor Nancy Ferguson. Ferguson suggested two modifications. The first amendment ensured that permanent signs are integrated with the design and building on which they are located, while the second gave the ARB the right to deny neon signs if that type of sign was not deemed appropriate for the building and site. Ferguson also asked that signs with moving parts be prohibited. “A lot of people have spent a lot of time and money creating signs in the village related to our brand, with the traditional architecture,” Ferguson said. “I think that’s a winning combination that we should continue to promote.”
The new sign code includes examples of appropriate signs in different zoning districts and specifies the number and type of signs that can be used in a particular zoning designation. The village center, for example, will allow different types of signs than the business campuses.
However, councilman Glyde Marsh said moving signs are being used well in some places, such as on The Ohio State University campus, and can easily be read. Councilwoman Colleen Briscoe said she, too, thinks the village may need to reconsider moving signs. “At some point, we may want to put those in,” Briscoe said. At Marsh’s suggestion, council also amended the legislation to allow commercial construction signs to be put in place 60 days before construction. Signs must be removed within 14 days of the end of a construction project. The new code includes a provision for banners, which the village and other entities had discussed as a good option for a building like the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts to help it better promote upcoming shows and events. Meyer said the amendments provided clarification. “I think the proposed changes are helpful,” she said. The sign code takes effect Jan. 13. Meyer and village planner Michelle Murphy said no new signcode applications have been submitted, so none are scheduled for review until the new code takes effect. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
Chabad center seeks to enhance quality of New Albany community To the editor: I am writing in response to your recent coverage of the the Lori Schottenstein Chabad Center and the concern about construction progress that a handful of Hampsted Village residents have expressed (“Hampsted residents complain about neighboring Chabad center,” Dec. 16 edition of ThisWeek New Albany). The Chabad center — which will have its official opening in May 2011 — will be one of the most unique institutions in our state, and will prove to be a relied upon resource for all people within the New Albany, and broader central Ohio, communities. Specifically, the Chabad center will offer a range of social, educational and recreational events that engage youth and the entire community. In addition, the Chabad center will be a place of worship, study and celebration for central Ohio’s Jewish community. One of the most important aspects of our newly constructed facility will be LifeTown, a nurturing and safe atmosphere where youth with special needs can learn and practice life, social and work skills using role play and experiential learning. In this bustling “indoor city,” children with special needs are able to learn by doing in an atmosphere that is both realistic and supportive. The individualized learning approach at LifeTown both enhances the students’ perception of the ease in learning and the acquisition and improvement of life and job competencies. The
outcomes we expect to achieve as a result of our new LifeTown and Chabad Center are: • Increased communication, social skills and self-esteem • Increased specific educational goals that are directly tied to individual students in money management, problem solving and self-advocacy • Building individual mastery within the lessons that are practiced at LifeTown in order to generalize these skills to the student’s own community • Promoting and instilling greater understanding of children with disabilities The purpose of conveying this information is to shed a more profound light on the impact the Chabad center will have on our community and our children with special needs. While some of the
construction issues are worth expressing — and have been addressed appropriately as reported in the article — it’s important to maintain focus on the positives the Chabad center will bring to our community. Construction issues are common with any project, large or small. It is important that they are dealt with accordingly, as they have been. We are looking forward to now shifting our energies toward the good our institution will bring to our community and a long-running relationship with the New Albany neighborhoods and the greater Columbus area.

Tiberi: Obama will move to the middle By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers The federal bill renewing tax cuts, cutting payroll taxes and extending unemployment benefits is a sign President Barack Obama will move toward center as Republicans take over the House of Representatives, said U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi (R-Genoa Township). Speaking to the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce on Dec. 13, Tiberi said November’s midterm election was “historic,” with the biggest Congressional swing from one party to the other since the 1940s and the elections of more new Republicans since the 1930s. “Americans spoke loudly and clearly about the direction of the country,” Tiberi said. The unknown, he said, is how the president will proceed with a Republican House looking to compromise and a leftist base looking for the president to hold firm on his liberal policies. “The president is trying to figure out what to do,” Tiberi said. It’s a positive sign, he said, that Obama embraced the recent tax deal as a way to get something done with a legislature that will soon be split, with a Republican majority in the House and a Democratic majority in the Senate. Tiberi did criticize the federal government for not acting on the tax deal sooner, how-
ever, because, he said, it’s been known for some time that failing to act on renewing the tax cuts would mean an increase in taxes as of Jan. 1. “We’ve known the rates were going to go up as of Pat Tiberi Jan. 1. Unfortunately, we’ve punted until now,” Tiberi said. Another positive sign that the president will move toward center, Tiberi told chamber members, is the recent trade talks with South Korea. After harshly criticizing trade deals during his 2008 campaign, Obama is now saying he will work to encourage exports, Tiberi said. “I think that’s a good sign the president is not going to move toward the left, that he is going to move toward the center,” Tiberi said. Trade deals like the recent one with South Korea are key because they allow U.S. businesses to sell their goods in foreign countries, Tiberi said. The United States has a free market system allowing imports from other countries, but without trade deals, he said, those countries will not allow imports from the United States. As the government continues to work to improve the economy, working to support U.S. exports to other countries will be key, Tiberi said. As Republicans take over the House next
year, another debate that’s on the horizon will be simplifying the tax code to benefit both individuals and businesses, encouraging businesses to operate in the United States, Tiberi said. “This is out of control, and we’ve got to simplify the tax code. We’ve got to make it make more sense,” Tiberi said. “My father can’t do his own taxes, and he’s not a wealthy man.” In the State of the Union address next year, Tiberi said Americans can anticipate hearing the president talk about simplifying the tax code, but, he said, it remains to be seen what exactly that will mean. Another debate that’s will resurface next year is the controversial health care bill that was signed into law earlier this year, Tiberi said. “The debate has only just begun,” he said. “You’re going to see us try to repeal it in the House.” One thing is certain in federal politics, Tiberi said: There is going to be a lot of contention over the next two years with split control of the House and Senate, making it difficult for the president to decide where his policies should fall. “Over the next two years, the president’s going to continue to be tugged by his left flank. It’s not going to be easy for him,” Tiberi said. “It’s going to be a difficult two years.”

Pediatric HealthSource
Pediatric urgent care, emergency department: What’s the difference? Urgent Care locations offer treatment for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that need immediate attention but are not serious enough to warrant a trip to the emergency department. Treatment for the following conditions is provided: minor cuts, minor/small burns, possible broken bones/simple fractures (facility will perform X-rays and initial treatment), sprains and strains, vomiting, diarrhea, asthma (mild or moderate wheezing), rashes, mild allergic reactions and fever. Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers five urgent care facilities (including the main campus office) with evening and weekend hours, and can be considered an extension of a community pediatrician’s office. Go to the emergency department if you feel your child’s problem is a true emergency, or for treatment of the following conditions: major trauma/injuries, injuries involving a motor vehicle crash or being struck by a motor vehicle, a fall from a
height, serious head injury with loss of consciousness, changes in normal behavior, or vomiting, seTERRY P. rious or large BARBER SR. burns, obvious broken bone in the leg or arm, severe difficulty breathing, fever in infants eight weeks of age or less, severe pain and seizures. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Emergency Department is one of the busiest in the country and is ranked third in the nation by Parents Magazine. From Jan. 1, 2008, to June 30, 2009, there were 120,929 visits to the E.D. and 276,908 total emergency services rendered. The E.D. at Nationwide Children’s Hospital provides expertise in pediatric advanced life support and resuscitation as well as evaluation and treatment in every area for acute medical and surgical conditions.
Talk with your doctor before your child gets sick about how to handle emergencies and inquire about the doctor’s policy on addressing medical needs outside of office hours. Having that information ahead of time will mean one less thing to worry about when your child is sick. If you think your child is experiencing a medical emergency or life-threatening condition, always call 911. In situations where calling 911 isn’t necessary, you should always call your child’s pediatrician or family doctor first to determine the best treatment option. If you think someone is poisoned, call the Central Ohio Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222. Terry P. Barber Sr., M.D., is the medical director of off-site Urgent Care Centers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an attending physician at the Nationwide Children’s Westerville Close To Home Center. He is also a clinical associate professor of pediatrics at Ohio State.

Wrestling
Eagles’ Odierno pins way to championship By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
One might be inclined to believe that Matt Odierno of the New Albany High School wrestling team would have been at his peak physical condition coming off an 11-game football season. Not necessarily, the senior said before pinning down his third individual title in as many tournaments last Saturday at the Falcon Invitational at Clinton-Massie to retain his perfect record at 215 pounds. “I’m definitely stronger and better
conditioned than I was last year starting out (in wrestling), but it’s two totally different kinds of conditioning,” he said. “You have time to get your composure in check in football between plays. Wrestling, it’s just a grind for six full minutes. You don’t get the breaks like you do in football and a lot of people don’t realize the difference that makes.” Odierno, who started at both outside linebacker and offensive guard as the football team posted an undefeated regular season before losing to Dresden Tri-Valley 30-27 in double
overtime in the first round of the Division II playoffs, improved to 17-0 with five more victories last Saturday. Best of all, he barely worked up a sweat. He pinned all five of his opponents in a combined 7 minutes, 9 seconds. He never had to come out for a second-period whistle and stopped Toledo St. John’s Brody Sloan in 1:48 in the final. Odierno also pinned Sloan in 1:56 in his opening match. In between, he stopped Jonathan Alder’s Derek Fullen in 1:10, Logan Elm’s Kyle Eveland in 1:54 and Athens’ Travis Taylor in
1:01. “I’ve never had a tournament like that,” Odierno said. “I went out there each time expecting a full match. I did a good job putting guys on their backs and just finished them off from there.” Odierno previously won titles at the Lee Spitzer Invitational on Dec. 4 at Upper Arlington and Dec. 11 at the Olentangy Liberty Classic. “He’s doing really well,” coach Marc Cofer said. “The big thing with Matt was just his conditioning coming out of football, but he’s made the transi-
tion fairly easily and that’s a testament to his work ethic. He’s definitely taking on a big role on our team now as a senior.” Odierno finished with a 31-9 record last season and was a state alternate in New Albany’s first season competing in Division I. “My first couple of years, I was more of a football player and wrestling came second,” he said. “Then I started to realize how good I could be and I started taking wrestling a lot more seSee WRESTLE, page B2

New Albany likes OCC title chances By JEREMY STEWART
first five games, New Albany nalist. Leading New Albany
ThisWeek Community Newspapers appears to have established it- against the Jaguars was Scipio,
The New Albany High School girls basketball team has started to find some answers to what type of team it’s going to be this season. The Eagles returned three starters in Maddie Miller, Elyse Naddaff and Hannah Scipio, but those three were role players last season. They’ve had to go from supporting roles to leadership roles, and when the season began, it wasn’t clear what kind of transition that would be. But after winning four of its
self as a contender for the OCCCapital Division title. The telling win to the Eagles’ start was a 48-47 victory at Hilliard Bradley on Dec. 7. “I think our kids realized after the Bradley game that if they do what the coaches expect of them, they have as good a chance as anybody to win the title,” said coach Jamie Puryear, whose team was 3-1 in the OCC-Capital before playing Franklin Heights last Tuesday. Bradley returned all of its starters from last season when it was a Division II district fi-
a point guard who scored 20 points and was named ThisWeekSPORTS.com’s Player of the Week. Scipio is one of three sophomores in the starting lineup, with the others being guard Chrissy Harris and forward Emily Rolwing. “Hannah played a phenomenal floor game,” Puryear said. “She went 30 minutes and had zero turnovers. I think Bradley was determined to keep her out of the paint and she basically did everything she wanted.”

Football
Gafford, Robinson among area products in bowls By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Andy Leffler, a 2007 Academy graduate, is excelling as a punter for North Carolina State, which will play West Virginia on Dec. 28 in the Champs Sports Bowl.
There might not have been a more dramatic turnaround in college football this fall than the one that occurred at Miami University. After losing to Central Michigan 35-10 in the 2007 Mid-American Conference title game to finish 6-7, the RedHawks slipped to 2-10 in 2008 and coach Shane Montgomery was forced to resign. Another rough season occurred in 2009 as Miami went 1-11 under first-year coach Michael Haywood. It took what two-year Miami captain Jordan Gafford calls a “change in the culture” to bring about what happened this fall. After splitting their first six games, the RedHawks bounced back and advanced to the MAC championship game in Detroit, where they beat Northern Illinois 26-21 on Dec. 3 to improve to 9-4. The win sent Miami, which features a pair of fifth-year seniors and central Ohio natives in Armand Robinson and Gafford, to the GoDaddy.com Bowl at 8 p.m. Jan. 6 in Mobile, Ala., against Middle Tennessee State. Gafford, a 2006 Worthington Kilbourne High School graduate and defensive back, and Robinson, a 2006 Reynoldsburg graduate and wide receiver, both were key players along with 2007 Westland graduate Will Diaz (DL) and 2006 Whetstone graduate

Seth Philip (kickoff specialist). Haywood left Dec. 16 to coach the University of Pittsburgh. Lance Guidry is serving as interim coach. “It’s been a rough four years for Armand and I to be a part of the team’s struggles, so this year has been exciting,” said Gafford, the ThisWeek Super 25 captain in 2005. “To win a lot of close games and win the MAC championship, it was all worth it. I think a lot of it was that (Haywood) came in and cleaned house. We’ve been playing our best football at the end of the season.” Gafford played in 10 games as a freshman in 2006 and was the team’s top tack-
ler among non-linebackers in 2007 before suffering a fractured tibia in the second game of 2008, ending his season. Gafford came back as a co-captain in 2009 and started the first eight games before going down with a torn nerve in his neck. Gafford missed two games this season with a concussion but finished with 32 tackles, one interception and a fumble recovery while playing safety. Robinson had 76 receptions for 805 yards and five touchdowns this season. He had 14 catches in the MAC title game, including the game-winning 33-yard score with 33 seconds to go. “This is unbelievable because this is the first time I’ve ever been on a team that won a championship,” Robinson said. •LEFFLER FINDS ROLE — Although it wouldn’t have seemed likely after he graduated from Columbus Academy in 2007, Andy Leffler will be traveling to Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 28 to play for North Carolina State in the Champs Sports Bowl. A linebacker, wide receiver, kicker and punter for the Vikings, Leffler discovered Elon University on a family vacation and eventually became a walk-on punter. After punting just eight times for the Phoenix in 2009, Leffler transferred to N.C. State. This season, the Dublin native punted 31 See BOWLS, page B2

Academy Roundup
Boys basketball team stung by early losses By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Columbus Academy boys basketball team isn’t out of the race for the MSL-Ohio Division championship, but coach Chris Jones knows his team will need some help if it is to win the league. The Vikings dropped to 3-2 overall and 1-2 in the MSL-Ohio with a 6155 loss to Whitehall last Saturday. Heath, which beat Academy 59-56 on Dec. 8, won its first three league games and Granville won its first two. “It’s always tough when you put your destiny in another team’s hands,” Jones said. “Even after the Heath loss, if we win the rest of our games, we could at worst tie for the league championship. Now we need some help from some other teams. I do believe Heath is going to be the class of the league. I also believe whoever is going to win this year is going to have a couple of losses. If we take care of business, we’ll still be in the hunt.” The Vikings don’t play again until Jan. 4 at Northridge. Jones said he will focus on rebounding when the team returns to practice after Christmas. “We’ve given up a ton of offensive rebounds in both losses,” Jones said. “It’s just something we have to give a lot more attention to. We don’t con-
BOWLS Continued from page B1 times for a 38.7 average while splitting duties with senior Jeff Ruiz (36.4 average). “I wanted to just focus on my academics this year, but I just decided to give it a shot and in the third game this year I got my first punt,” said Leffler, a junior. “It’s something I never would have dreamed of. The most enjoyable part has been getting the second opportunity.” •FROM THE BIG TEN — Eighteen players with local ties are on rosters of Big Ten teams, including nine from Ohio State, which plays Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4. Michigan State has seven players from central Ohio, including three who played significantly this season in Le’Veon Bell (RB, Groveport), B.J. Cunningham (WR, Westerville South) and Steve Gardiner (LB, Dublin Coffman). The Spartans play Alabama in the Capital One Bowl on Jan. 1. The Crimson Tide won the BCS national title game last year and feature 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram. “It’s really exciting, especially coming off a 6-7 year last year,” said Gardiner, who has played on special teams the last two years and split time between middle linebacker and outside linebacker this season. “Playing against last year’s national champions and Heisman winner adds a little bit of motivation, plus it’s the Big Ten against the SEC.” •ALSO BOUND FOR ORLANDO — The Wolfpack’s opponent in the Champs Sports Bowl is West Virginia, which starts Beechcroft graduate Julian Miller on its defensive line. Miller, a redshirt junior in his second season as a starter, was a Rivals.com second-team allBig East honoree after finishing with 13 tackles for losses and
sistently go to the offensive boards the way we should. We always try to send three guys to the offensive boards.” Tim Eldridge is leading the team in scoring, averaging 16 points. Zach Ratcliff is second, averaging 12.6. “We definitely have to get back to the basics on defense,” Ratcliff said. “(Against Whitehall) some defensive errors were exposed. If we focus on the little things, our play will definitely pick up.” Eldridge scored a season-high 27 points in the loss to Heath. Ratcliff had a team-high 15 points against Whitehall, with Eldridge and Jared Harris scoring 11 apiece. “When I look at the two losses, even though the other teams played really well, I feel if we played like we should have played, we would have come out on top,” Jones said. “You’d rather be over .500 anytime you can and we are, but when you feel like the games are in your control, you have to take care of business. When you let them slip through your hands, it’s always hard to deal with.” Academy originally was scheduled to play Hartley last Saturday, but the game was postponed because of the Hartley football team’s state championship run. A makeup date has not been announced. Academy picked up its MSL-Ohio

GIRLS Continued from page B1 Puryear called the win over Bradley an early-season turning point, as New Albany lost the lead for the first time in the third quarter before rallying for the win in the fourth quarter. Rolwing said the win was a confidence builder. “It was a really exciting win,” Rolwing said. “It has really motivated us to work harder. We knew that if we could beat Bradley, we have a good chance to win the title.” But after New Albany lost to Olentangy Orange 54-36 last Friday, it appears the road to a league title goes through the Pioneers. The Eagles play host to Orange on Jan. 28 in the rematch. New Albany trailed Orange 24-19 at halftime before the Pioneers started to flex their muscle on the glass. Puryear said his team must rebound better if it is to remain in the hunt for the league title. One positive in the loss, he said, was the players’ attitude
that we lost we were right there, so I would have liked to have those wins.” The Vikings will return to action on Jan. 4 at Lakewood. Academy defeated Gahanna Christian 54-25 on Dec. 11 behind 13 points from junior guard LaShaun Ransom. The Vikings then beat Licking Valley 34-33 last Saturday behind 18 points from junior point guard Erin Simmons, who scored the winning basket with 10 seconds remaining. “It’s definitely nice to go into a nice break,” Gepper said. “We’ve all been www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

I think our kids came in to compete. Coming in off a tough loss, you worried about the kids’ confidence coming back to practice. I’m happy with how we competed.”
Irish defeated Westerville North 4741 last Friday to improve to 3-3. Wednesday-Dec. 30 — At Gahanna Cage Classic.

working really hard in practice and it’s nice going into the break with a big win against Licking Valley. I’m looking forward to having a little time off, but the season is going so well. The girls are working so hard and they’re just a fun group of kids to work with, so I’m going to miss them a little bit over the week that we won’t see each other.” Simmons leads the team in scoring, averaging 15.7 points. “Erin is a phenomenal athlete,” Gepper said. “She’s just playing great right now. I didn’t expect her to be scoring as much as she is. I’m not complaining, but she is playing very well right now.” •With just three participants, the wrestling team faces an abbreviated schedule this season. Academy competed in a quad meet with Linden-McKinley, Mifflin and Watterson on Dec. 9, with freshman Jeremy Schroeder (135 pounds) and junior Dan Leathery (145) each finishing 2-0 and sophomore Johnston Allinder (160) going 0-2. Schroeder finished third and Allinder was fifth at the Briggs Junior Varsity Tournament last Saturday. The Vikings return to action Jan. 8 at the Hudson Western Reserve Academy Duals.

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio By Jim Fischer • jfischer@thisweeknews.com Before The Beat takes a (in our opinion) well-deserved holiday break — a one-week hiatus for our Dec. 30 editions — we hit the Rewind button for a look back at arts and entertainment happenings during 2010. (This is a print-only hiatus — make sure to check the Arts &Entertainment section at www.ThisWeekNews.com for stuff next week.) As usual, this Year in Review offers up a couple of awards, some notable quotes and a recap of news and trends from the past year. Enjoy, and early good wishes to all of you for 2011 from The Beat.
Best Concert
and energetic, pumping out rock n’roll song after rock n’roll song. We’ve since immersed ourselves — our current fave is The Spirit of Jazz. And a Critic Crony added: “It was nice to discover some back catalog ditties that you like as much as the stuff of which you are aware. Also, to get introduced to some other artists (Chamberlain, the opener and the Lucero tune GA played) made it worth the price of the ticket.” But we were torn, and thus opted for the easy way out, in declaring a tie — naming the Kansas-with-Columbus Symphony Orchestra at Picnic with the Pops, also in July, co-“Best Concert.” Sure, it had been more than 20 years since we’d last seen one of our favorite bands, but this one was special because we attended with our then-12-year-old daughter — and it was her idea. Awesomeness.
In a surprise move, we’re declaring a tie here. It’s always cool when a show gives you a greater insight into a band to which you’re just starting to come around. Such it was in July when we checked out The Gaslight Anthem at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion. Best Quote We had a slightly-more-thancursory knowledge of the band “You know when you’re at a before, and liked what we’d heard. party and you think it’s time to In concert, the band was raucous leave but then you see a friend

who tells you to stay for one more and then you have still one more and one more and the next morning is not too good? We want to have a happy end to the Scorpions party and not leave after your inside said you stayed too long.” — Scorpions guitarist Rudolf Schenker, on his band deciding to retire (Sadly, the band had to cancel its Columbus date, and may not pass these ways again.)
Honorable Mention “I’m a big fan of The Temptations.” — Otis Williams of the Temptations Williams also told us, when we asked what he was doing on the day we called, “Just layin’around watching double-oh-seven.”
More quotes Wow. The Beat had the opportunity to chat with some cool folks during 2010, and we came away with a lot of good stuff. Thanks to them all. • “I believe you’re handed a cer-

tain fate but you create your own destiny.” — blues singer and cancer survivor Candye Kane • “We sound like the sum total of the music we listen to. I’m sure if you went through your record collection, there would be more than one kind of music in there.” — rocker Sarah Borges • “I hope I play well.” — trumpeter Lew Soloff, on his forthcoming date with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. We think he was kidding • “If you can’t sit down with an acoustic guitar and play it and have it make sense, then we’re probably not going to do it. A great melody, lyrics and chord structure make a song good, no matter what style it’s played in.” — Joe Greenetz, Sherwood • “It’s hard to put on makeup with a 2-year-old hanging around. In real life, I don’t get to wear makeup any more.” — jazz singer Jane Monheit • “The producer asked me if I was trying to make a record or get on the cover of Guitar magazine. I told him ‘Both, man!’” — Puddle of Mudd guitarist Paul Phillips • “I got so used to seeing myself green that I’d think I was clean, only to see pictures of myself later and I looked seasick.” — Julia Murney, former Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway, on washing • “Music is a message that communicates something and you can use technique to accomplish it.” — guitarist Andy McKee • “We’re maybe not as precise — perhaps the word is ‘good’ — as some other bands, but our shows
are better.” — We Are Scientists bassist Chris Cain • “I figured I’d wired his house or something, but turns out he’d seen me at an open mic.” — Matt “The Electrician” Sever, on a meeting at a restaurant that helped convince him to permanently adopt his moniker. • “For our first record, we saved up money enough to buy our buddy a couch for his recording studio for helping us out. Times have changed.” — Green River Ordinance bassist Geoff Ice • “It’s still predominantly female, which is a good thing. That’s how I met my wife.” — Isaac Hanson on his band’s fan base
News department • We’re going with the October arrival of new Columbus Symphony Orchestra music director Jean-Marie Zeitouni as the top story of 2010 in the arts. This is not just because Zeitouni, like The Beat, is a big hockey fan. (He’s French-Canadian, for crying out loud. What did you expect?) No, this is extra big because the CSO made news this year also because of a new shared services agreement with CAPA, part of a larger financial restructuring, the CSO’s second in the past two years. The orchestra needed some good news, and Zeitouni is it. He’s young (36), personable, attractive and he’s going to make Columbus his home. (Which means, he admitted, he’ll have to bone up on the Blue Jackets. But again, we digress.) He’s one of North America’s rising young conductors, he
recognizes the challenges ahead and he loves this music. The CAPA agreement, along with the other budget and operational changes, allowed the CSO to finish the 2009-2010 fiscal year with a balanced budget. Moving forward, there’s only so much more that can be done by CSO leadership — which we’ve not let off the hook in past writings — but the economy is what it is. This is ultimately a collective civic decision. What kind of a symphony orchestra does this region want? • ProMusica Chamber Orchestra announced in the spring that co-founder and music director Timothy Russell will step down — he’s not retiring, he told us — gradually over the next couple of seasons. A search to replace Russell is under way. This decision is big, too, as Russell is the only maestro that PMCO has known in its 30-plus-year history. • The concept of shared services also made news as the Columbus Blue Jackets sought ways to reduce operating losses. The team signed an agreement in May with Ohio State University to handle concert booking and day-to-day operations at Nationwide Arena, a measure the team hoped would save it $1-million annually. Both sides were very clear that this would not represent a conflict of interest. “Whenever a show plays, both buildings would be involved financially,” OSU vice president for administration and planning Xen Riggs told The Beat. • The Columbus Children’s Choir opened its 15th season. • Columbus blues legend Willie Pooch passed away in May. • Shadowbox Cabaret changed its name to Shadowbox Live, then later in the year announced the finalization of an agreement that will see the rock n’ roll-sketch comedy troupe move back to downtown Columbus. • The Bluestone opened in November in the former Bar of Modern Art space.
Beloved Bexley Italian still hitting its marks It’s not a fluke that Giuseppe’s Ritrovo is a local institution. Located in the heart of Bexley — next to the Drexel and across from Capital University — the upscale casual Giuseppe’s can convert newcomers into regulars after a single visit. A fun and lively place where suited gentlemen enjoy wine and pizza at the granite bar next to big tables of cocktailing ladies close by families smiling over bowls of their all-time favorite pastas, this big windowed restaurant exudes true neighborhood charm. No wonder it’s almost as packed on a cold and crappy Monday evening as it is on a Saturday night. A gaze at Giuseppe’s rustic brick walls and slick modern art is a clue into its way with a menu. In other words, the place manages to simultaneously embrace and transcend classic ItalianAmerican cooking. While the basic pasta-loaded
MENU by G.A. Benton food document hasn’t altered drastically over the years, there are always-interesting nightly specials. And recently, a few new and exciting developments have been introduced: a terrific happy hour and a short list of ambitious cocktails. On the happy hour front, most of Giuseppe’s glasses of wine, terrific handmade pizzas and snazzy appetizer dishes are sold for about half off. This means that between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. — at the bar only — great deals await those who show up early. That was me recently, as I sipped some food-friendly vino ($5 per glass) and dug into the pretty Prosciutto Crudo Antipasto ($13, or $6 at happy hour).

Six-Cheese Ravioli and Insalata Favalosa at Giuseppe’s Ritrovo in Bexley.
Sheets of soft, supple, sweet and succulent Parma ham were placed atop a chopped salad of kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella and marinated arti-
choke hearts. I liked how the creamy cheese helped direct the focus onto the delicate meat amidst bolder elements. High-quality mushrooms (lots of shiitakes), plenty of racy tomato sauce and a very attractive thin and crispy crust delighted mightily in the Al Funghi pizza ($15, or $9 at happy hour). What’s more, the wide pie was large enough to feed two to three for dinner or serve as an appetizer for a huge table. (Pizzas are also available in whole wheat or gluten-free crusts.) About 20 pastas make up the bulk of Giuseppe’s menu, and ranging from the killer $10 Spaghetti and Meatballs to pricier, seafood-laden varieties, they’re all good. Like the extravagant Gamberi Di Sicilia ($22). Lots of garlicky, good-quality shrimp were matched with fine mushrooms in a spicy and lavish cognac and heavy-duty cream sauce. Perfectly

The Six Cheese Ravioli ($15) were a half-dozen firm pasta pillows filled with a ricotta-forward dairy blend. Making the dish extra special was a light, herby and acidic tomato sauce bountifully flecked with delicious mushrooms and chopped chicken. For dessert, the Blueberry Bread Pudding ($7.50) was a good choice for those (like me) seeking something with a restrained
sweetness. Drizzles of creme anglaise played beautifully with the plentiful fruit. If you’d rather sip dessert, pick one of Giuseppe’s specialty cocktails — they use enticing ingredients like grappa, Aperol and rhubarb bitters. From these, the “Sidebar” Sidecar ($9) — its brandy and Grand Marnier leavened by citrus — will carry you home in style. Correction: The hours for Spiro’s Plaza Cafe was incorrect in the Dec. 16 review. Hours for the restaurant are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

Polaris adds another dash of Indian spice with Cumin The closing of Bayleaf India Bistro left a serious hole in the lunch buffet scene in Polaris. That’s going to change on Friday, when Cumin takes over the vacant restaurant at 1025 Polaris Parkway. Owner Ved Prakash, who also goes by Vince, has completely revamped the interior, installing stone, tile and white Italian marble while building a 4-foot-tall border around the lounge area. “I want to give the impression it’s not the same restaurant, it’s a new restaurant,” he said. The transition also includes a new menu, which is about 25 percent bigger, with a large assortment of seafood, including spicy mango shrimp, lobster lababdar and Malai halibut. There are plenty of standard plates, as well, such as various styles of tandoori, biryani and vegetarian dishes. Most entrees from the a la carte dinner menu are in the $8 to $12 range. Still, the all-important lunch buffet will be served daily. On the weekends, it will include the chaat station, as Bayleaf had. Anyone who’s witnessed it firsthand knows that Indian buffets are extremely
The extra space will allow Prakash to pursue his burgeoning catering business, which now serves 700 lunches per week. “Once I open up (Cumin) then I could add 500 easy,” he said. Cumin will be open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614854-0775.
Ved “Vince” Prakash, owner of Cuisine of India, will soon open Cumin inside the former Bayleaf India Bistro site at Polaris.
In other Indian news from Polaris, Masala BBQ has opened at 8939 South Old State Road. Aqil Khan’s new restaurant specializes in Indian and Pakistani cuisines. The menu is by no means extensive. Instead, it is primarily focused on tandoori, often described as Indian barbecue, and biryani dishes. Most entrée prices are in the $7 to $10 range. Masala BBQ is open six days a week, closed Sunday. For more information, call 614-433-0108.
popular on the Far North Side. Prakash laid the foundation at Cuisine of India, 8475 Sancus Blvd. That was followed by Bayleaf and then Maanas, another large space off Polaris Parkway, west of South Old State Road. “People noticed my success,” said Prakash, who opened Cuisine of India in 2004. But the space is smaller by comparison, seating 68. Cumin, meanwhile,
The father-and-son team of Yiagos and Stratis Kostoglou are putting the finishing touches on Greek to Me, a breakfast-and-lunch locale at 4697 Reed Road on the Northwest Side.

will seat 140. Where Cumin will offer a wide assortment of fare from the northern part of the country, Cuisine of India’s menu will be transformed to include only dishes from the south, such as dosa, medu wada, sambar, idli and chicken chettinad. Prakash said the conversion will allow the restaurant to differentiate itself from the others.
