Council approves summer road work By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin will see $2.9 million in work over the summer for its annual street-maintenance program. Dublin City Council members last week awarded the Shelly Co. a $2.9 million contract for resurfacing roads and a few other projects. Streets that will be repaved over summer are Emerald Parkway, between Perimeter Drive and Dublin Road; Avery-Muirfield Drive’s southbound left-turn lane at Perimeter Drive; Dublin Center Drive, from Tuller Road to Sawmill Road; Coventry Woods Drive, between

Brand Road and Applecross Drive; Rings Road, from Avery Road to Wilcox Road; Monterey Drive; Glen Meadow Court; Muirfield Place; Birgham Court; Whittingham Drive; Hawick Court North; Hawick Court South; Gavington Court; Lytfield Drive; Kingscote Court; Locust Hill Lane; and Thornhill Lane. The parking lots at the city’s 5800 building and the Chamber of Commerce also will be repaved. Two intersections will get brick pavers over a concrete base: the intersection at Emerald Parkway, Coffman Road and Coffman Park Drive and the intersection at Emerald Parkway and Post Road.

A closer look The city’s engineering website at Dublin.oh.us/engineering will also provide updates on construction.

City engineer Paul Hammersmith said residents and drivers would be notified of road work in different ways. Residents on affected streets will receive brochures in their mailboxes, and any driveway that must be closed during construction “will be provided written notice at their

front door at least 24 hours in advance of the closure,” the memo to council stated. Temporary signs also will be erected at least 24 hours prior to construction, and a portable message board will be posted at some construction sites. The city’s engineering website at Dublin.oh.us/engineering also provides updates on construction. Hammersmith said the second round of summer construction work to include bike-path construction and repairs should go before council July 6. Dublin has budgeted $200,000 for bike-path work.

If plans continue according to schedule, work on the Bridge Street corridor plan should be completed nearly two years after it started. Dublin began looking at a long-range plan for development and redevelopment in its core in August 2009, hiring Boston-based consultants Goody Clancy to aid in a study of possibilities. The consultants began the study by meeting with such stakeholders as developers, landowners, Dublin City Schools officials and local nonprofits and then crafted a plan for development, redevelopment and infrastructure for the city’s core. The study also brought a series of national speakers to Dublin to discuss market trends. In June 2010 at Wendy’s headquarters, Goody Clancy gave a preliminary overview of its recommendations as representatives laid out a plan for walkable, urban-style mixed-used development for the Bridge Street corridor. More stakeholder comments were taken, and Goody Clancy began work on a vision, principles, a concept plan and district last summer. The work received council approval in October, and nearly $500,000 in framework, code, modSee BRIDGE STREET PLANS, page A2

School board approves rehires and layoffs By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers Thanks to concessions made by Dublin City Schools employees, 37 staff members were rehired last week. The Dublin school board accepted the rehirings as part of renewing replacement contracts and adding a few new teaching positions. Superintendent David Axner said because employees were willing to give back part or all of scheduled raises for the coming academic year, 42 contracts were approved. “There are many people who would not have been with Dublin City Schools if not for what has gone on the past few weeks,” he said. The district administration, teachers union and support-staff union all moved to forgo all or a portion of scheduled raises for next year. The concessions were made as the district faces a shortfall in state funding and anticipates layoffs. The board suspended three contracts last week, though. Axner said the nonrenewal of the contracts come from “reduction in force” because of lack of funds and decreasing enrollment in certain academic areas. See SCHOOL BOARD, page A2

School board approves rehires, layoffs Continued from page A1 The contracts of Joe Benetti, Mark Forsythe and Derek Fisher were suspended. “We do not have a position for them,” Axner said. Board member Stu Harris said he does not know Benetti or Fisher but is acquainted with Forsythe, a Coffman teacher. “I want to recognize the unfairness of (reduction in force),” he said, adding that Forsythe has been a Coffman High School lacrosse coach in addition to a teacher. “I will reluctantly vote the way we have

to, but I wanted to underscore this as my discussion that it’s difficult and we’re in difficult times.” A partnership with the University of Toledo that will give Dublin students scholarship money if they choose to attend the northwest Ohio university also was approved last week. In late May, board members heard a presentation from high school guidance counselors and UT representative John Adams on the partnership that could give students as much as $10,000 for an education at UT. Parents may register their children in eighth grade, and if they meet academ-

ic requirements, UT will put $2,000 into a scholarly savings account each year until the student graduates. To receive four $2,500 scholarship payments in college, students must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average and complete at least 30 credits every year. The agreement does not bind students to UT, but if they do not attend the public college, they will not receive the $10,000. With board approval, Superintendent David Axner said, the district will distribute information to students. The program will begin with 2011-12 eighthgraders.

Event Dublin to host leg of torch run Dublin will host a leg of the 2011 Law Enforcement Torch Run at 1:30 p.m. Friday, June 24. The run, which is the state’s largest fundraiser for the Special Olympics, will start at Coffman High School, 6780 Coffman Road, and end at Montgomery Inn, 4565 W. Dublin Granville Road. For the fundraiser, law enforcement officers across the state carry the “Flame of Hope” torch through 150 communities to bring awareness to the Special Olympics. Officers must raise at least $25 for the run. The torch run starts June 14 and has six main routes around the state that conclude in the Columbus area June 24. Participants run or bike the routes while officers pass the torch through communities. The final leg of the torch run ends in the Ohio Stadium, where the torch will be passed to Special Olympics athletes to start the summer games. The torch run and coordinating events raised more than $500,000 for the Special Olympics in Ohio in 2010. For more information, look at sooh.kintera.org/faf/ help/helpeventinfo.asp.

Jerome principal Cathy Sankey said it was “a wonderful year” for the team. Jerome finished 19-1 and won the Division II state title June 4 with a 13-4 victory over Hunting Valley University School. It was the Celtics’ second consecutive Division II state title. “The Celts finished the season as the No. 1-ranked team in Ohio in lacrosse and also the No. 25-rated team in the nation, which is the highest-ranking school in Ohio,” she said.

Bicentennial art to be dedicated in August By JENNIFER NOBLIT

and, hopefully, evoking a sense of ownership from the community,” Hatcher said. “It’s a complex baseframe intricate structure that we’re placing about 40 elements that have to do with the blacksmith process. So we put up a call to the community to see what contributions we might be able to have. They’ll be arranged within the structure as if it’s a flowing field of objects.” Ten of the 40 items that will be included in the artwork come from Dublin residents and include a metal brush, a pulley, a wrench and ice tongs. The items that aren’t from Dublin residents were crafted by local artisans, Hatcher said, and all items will be protected from the weather and bolted into place. “We are trying to evoke several things (with the found items). One being that this is a historic site and the structure we’re

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ten items from Dublin residents will be part of a public artwork installed at 225 S. High St. in August. Brower Hatcher picked from items submitted by Dublin residents for his artwork that will celebrate Dublin’s bicentennial. The piece is called “The Simulation of George Karrer’s Workshop.” Hatcher, an artist based in Rhode Island, was chosen last year for the $150,000 bicentennial public artwork that will be installed on the Historic Karrer Barn property. A call went out last month for forged items from the community that could be included in the artwork of metal rods on a limestone base that will simulate a blacksmith shop that stood on the property a century ago. Janet Cooper of the Dublin Arts Council said about 13 or 14 items had been submitted. “What I had in mind is obviously engaging the community

building with these forgings. We’ll have a natural forge and anvil and wheelwright table that is part of the original Karrer Barn artifacts, as if it’s a memory, not a replica,” he said. “This is evoking a memory of a workman’s workshop. … There is a historic sense about it.” Hatcher has been seeking engineering approval and putting the rod structure together. “The building itself is a complex, layer process,” he said, not-

ing that the structure currently is being dismantled to be sprayed with a gold and then green powder coating. Work on the site on the southern end of Historic Dublin will begin soon as the limestone base for the artwork is laid. “That work will start soon and we’re having a local mason execute that work,” Hatcher said. “That will be all done and will have a brick floor and brick pathway. What

we’re building comes in, and we attach it to the top of that wall.” The installation of the powdercoated rods could come in midJuly, Hatcher said, and it should be a three-day job. Dublin officials said the art dedication is slated for Aug. 18. The installation will wrap up more than a year of work that included input sessions from the community, which Hatcher values, he said.

“I really welcome community feedback and community interaction,” he said. “For me, that’s part of the process, and in the end, the work is for the community. It’s not about me; it’s about you, the community and Dublin. We want to be sure that it works to their mind and that they’re comfortable with it and happy with it. … In general, we want to have a positive community response, by and large, to my work.”

Indian-trail lore doesn’t always match fact Many people find Indian trails especially intriguing. The notion that we may be walking (or, more often, driving) on the same path taken by the Shawnee, Wyandot or Mingo resiED dents of cenLENTZ tral Ohio gives us a living link to the past. In an age increasingly made of plastic and microchips, there is something reassuring about the idea that we still follow the same roads used by others for hundreds of years. And we do follow those previous paths … more or less. Just as there is something magical in being able to touch a piece of the past in the roads we travel, so, too, there is more than a little myth. In other words, while Ohioans still use former Indian trails to travel around the state, they are not always exactly what we think they are. There are other parts of the Ohio story that have a similar propensity. The Underground Railroad was neither underground nor a railroad. Rather, it was a network of daring people, black and white, who helped runaway slaves escape to freedom in Canada in the years before the American Civil War. “Stations” on the Underground Railroad might be a barn, a sheltered ravine or even an occasional secret room in a local house. Today, many older houses in the area are offered for sale with the wistful suggestion that the place was “rumored” to be a stop on the Underground Railroad. Most of these places were no such thing. Running a station on the Underground Railroad was illegal and dangerous. Most people did not take the risk. But the legend persists. A similar sort of gloss covers the story of the Scioto Trail. Native American people had lived in Ohio for thousands of years before the arrival of European explorers only a few hundred years ago. The earliest residents of Ohio were few in number and generally lived their lives following the animal herds then living in the state. So the earliest trails were those made by the buffalo, deer and other animals. Eventually, the roaming stopped and more permanent towns were built. The people who built them constructed earthen monuments and enclosures and later came to be called the Moundbuilders. Central Ohio is rich in the remains of these prehistoric people, although we are not as rich as we once were. While a 40-

foot mound at the south end of what is now downtown Columbus is remembered by the name of Mound Street, the mound itself is long gone, as are many more around Ohio. All of these Moundbuilder villages were linked by trails, as well. Some are the same that will be used by later residents of the state. Many are not. Most of the major Indian trails that will be remembered and later marked as such date from the relatively recent history of the past few hundred years when English, French and later American colonial travelers came to Ohio and left a record of what they found. What would come to be called the Bullskin Trail, the Great Trail and the Scioto Trail were undoubtedly once animal trails before they began to be used by people. And these trails also quite probably changed in course and location with the passage of time. As early European settlers came to Ohio, they followed these same trails and made them their own. Eventually, they would become roads of greater or lesser permanence. Because downtown Columbus sits on a ridge and once had a large mound in its midst, it is easy to presume that what is now High Street must have been a major Indian trail. That is partly right. High Street was indeed an Indian trail, but it was not a major one. Indian trails in central Ohio generally seek high ground because it is dry and clear for much of the year. Until well into the 19th century, most Ohio rivers looked very different than they do today. They were generally wider and deeper and flanked on

each side by large areas of lowlying wetlands. They were hard places to travel through. Similarly, the high ridge on the east side of the Scioto was punctuated by deep ravines every mile or two. These ravines and their attendant creeks and wetlands made travel difficult as well. For these and other reasons, the Scioto Trail linking Lake Erie to the Ohio River skirted west of what is now downtown Columbus and traveled north following the ridge line separating the Scioto and Olentangy river valleys. That original route is not all that well-marked and certainly is not as well-traveled. In the years after the American Revolution, the smaller, lessused trail east of the Scioto came to be used more and more to link the villages of central Ohio. When a private company built the first major road to the Lake Erie towns, it came to be called the Columbus and Sandusky Turnpike. The turnpike was not very successful. Badly constructed and poorly maintained, the road was a sea of mud in the spring and impassable in the winter. And despite these problems, the road continued to charge a toll. When the company finally closed, many people were pleased. But the Columbus and Sandusky Turnpike demonstrated that the route was correct for a properly constructed road. It would take many years and a number of other challenges before U.S. Route 23 became that road. In all, it is the story of a road less-traveled becoming a path of choice of central Ohio.

Changes proposed for Coffman Park plan By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

More bridges and an amphitheater eventually could come to Coffman Park. Proposed changes to the park’s master plan were presented to Dublin City Council on June 13. A Coffman Park task force report from 2003 was funded last year to “analyze potential phasing,” according to a staff memo. Parks and open-space staff members have been working with consulting firm MSI to update the Coffman Park master plan and to provide preliminary budget estimates for the construction of elements included in the task force’s report. Fred Hahn, Dublin’s director of parks and open space, told council members one of the major proposed changes to the master plan is the elimination of ponds. “Staff believes that developing more of the land, given all the potential uses of the park, will better serve the community versus the creation of ponds for aesthetic reasons,” the staff memo stated. “Given that Coffman Park will remain the location for major community events and that the existing proposed uses of the park will attract a large number of park users, the value of preserving the land was considered a high priority.” Another big change to the plan would be the construction of an additional amphitheater that could seat 2,000 people and host larger events. The amphitheater also could be used during the Dublin Irish Festival and host the Dublin Arts Council’s Sundays at Scioto concerts, Hahn said. Council member Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher questioned having an amphitheater that often could be used so close to neighborhoods. “I do have a number of concerns with building an amphitheater and what programming would be,” she said.

The amphitheater is proposed to have 1,000 seats, with overflow seating for another 1,000 on the lawn. Council member John Reiner said he wants to ensure enough parking is in place if the amphitheater were built. Reiner also

raised concerns about a proposed spray park in the plan. “Those have been a nightmare, in terms of maintenance,” he said. Other changes to the master plan include an “older adult acSee COFFMAN, page A8

Family-friendly Powell Festival opens Friday at Village Green By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Staff Writer The fun and family friendly Powell Festival will run from 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and noon to 11 p.m. Saturday, June 2425, at Village Green Park, 47 Hall St., Powell. Entrance and parking is free, as are most activities, said organizer Anna Steck, executive director of Historic Downtown Powell Inc. Local talent, businesses and services play a big part in the 2011 Powell Festival. To celebrate its 15th year, organizers are staging more musical performances than in previous years. “Since it is our 15th year celebration, we went from last year’s nine to 12 musical performances this year. We’re showcasing three teen bands. (The members of) all three are Olentangy Liberty High School students,” Steck said. “We’re really trying to bring in the teens.” The teen bands are “The Lion, the Squirrel, and a Man with a Moustache,” “Lux” and “Arilia.” The bands will take the stage for 45-minute sets, beginning at 1:15 p.m. Saturday, June 25. Sharp Circle Band is the headline band performing from 8 to 11 p.m. Friday. The eight-piece band includes a horn section and performs hits from the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. Farrell & Stephenson is the headline band performing from 6:45 to 10:15 p.m. Saturday. The fireworks show be-

gins as the band’s set ends at 10:15 p.m. Also new to this year’s event is a balloon artist provided by the festival’s major sponsor, KeyBank. The artist will perform at KeyBank’s booth in Sponsor Circle 6-8 p.m. Friday and 1-4 p.m and 5-7 p.m. Saturday. Other returning attractions include the Teen Scene, sponsored by SuperGames, which offers an activities course of giant inflatable games and rides. Teens can purchase an all-day pass for $10. The Toddler Zone features inflatable toys for little ones and is free. The Turtle Lady & Visiting Animals will visit from 5-8 p.m. both evenings, an event sponsored by Sawmill Auto Wash. All family members can enjoy the tekOrange family train ride, Steck said. All ages can fit on the train. The event includes more than 200 venders and booth spaces, all kinds of games for children, educational stations, arts and craft vendors, for-profit and nonprofit informational booths, and a food and beverage court. The excitement will start at the festival entrance with a Columbus Blue Jackets street hockey game, “Captured at the Powell Festival” photos of children by Kirch Group Technology and multiple question and answer sessions with Powell mayor Art Schultz. Guests can quiet their rumbling stomachs at the Food Court and Dining Area and

The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office Mobile Command Center will be on site, as will the Liberty Township Fire Department fire safety trailer and the Delaware County Soil and Water Conservation District educational learning unit. Live performances by local musicians and dancers take place nonstop throughout the fest on the Technicare main stage. Some of the other entertainment includes Village Academy Varsity Jazz Band, Six Pack Theory, Olentangy Youth Athletic Association Drill Team, singer Morgan Maranto, Prestige Music Studios performance, and country artist Sarah J. Rutherford. “It is the largest (Powell-area)

outdoor community event for local residents and their families,” Steck said. “First and foremost, it is an extremely family friendly festival and we take great strides to make sure it remains that way.” Steck said about 20,000 people attend the two-day event. The Powell Police Department wants to remind drivers about special festival-hour parking, Steck said. During the event hours, police make South Liberty Street southbound-only and create more than 100 parking spaces on the west side of the street. The handicap parking area is in the one-way alley in front of the city hall, and vehicles must enter that parking area from Hall Street. Free city parking also is available on North Depot Street, at 44 N. Liberty St., and at the public parking spaces along Olentangy Street. For more information, visit Powell Festival on Facebook.

tivity center” with a shuffleboard and pickleball court, the relocation of hard courts, additional shelter houses and restrooms, the relocation of the recreation center’s entry drive and the addition of a riparian zone. Three bridges also were proposed to cross the south fork of Indian Run. The three bridges have a cost estimate of about $825,000, according to a staff memo. Each year, the city constructs bridges for the Dublin Irish Festival at a cost of about $60,000. Under the proposed plan, the need for temporary bridges would be eliminated. Hahn said the burial of utility lines and grading of the former Post Road so it’s more “parklike” also were proposed. The proposals went before council for input before parks staff develops a phasing plan for the 201216 capital improvements program. “Stream crossings, utility burials, new recreation center entry drive and regrading the old roadbed will be proposed, unless otherwise directed, in the initial phase,” the memo stated. The work is estimated at a cost of $2.7 million. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

maraderie.” The frog’s safety is taken into account, Rose said. The frogs are kept in holding tanks at an “undisclosed location” until the frog jump and then returned to ponds around Dublin. “They’re well-taken care of,” Rose said. Anyone unwilling to work with the amphibians of the day will have their pick of inflatable rides, food and games. “New this year, we have the Buckeye Mobile tour bringing a few little games out,” Rose said. “It’s something fun and a little different. … It’s very family-friendly.” The annual frog jump also serves as a Kiwanis fundraiser. “We’ve got companies that sponsor us, from $50 to $500,” Rose said. “The Dublin Barber Shop has been a sponsor for all 45 years. It’s one of the first checks we get every year.” Proceeds from the frog jump are divided. “We allocate half of the profit for the club for ongoing projects,” Rose said. “The rest goes to the Dublin Food Pantry and the American Red Cross.” jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

southwest corner of Bridge and High streets, the Bridge Street corridor plan could have come sooner. His development, which houses Jeni’s Spendid Ice Creams, among others, encourages walkability and sits close to the street, as suggested in the Bridge Street corridor plan. “I’m very positive about what they’re doing. I wish they would have moved toward this sort of consensus 15 years ago,” Grabill said. “But they’re coming to positive conclusions. I just wish it was faster.” Jacob said he and the HDBA also like the plan, although they want to make sure it provides enough green space. “I think the position of the HDBA board has been obvious. We want to maintain the historic aspects of Historic Dublin, but new development is welcome,” he said. “We want to make sure the walkability and pedestrian safety is important.” The Bridge Street corridor plan will be successful, Grabill predicted, if the city follows through. “I really think a walkable community is what people are looking for. They want something unique on a human scale,” he said. “People are hungry for that. I’m really pleased to see Dublin working toward that direction. That’s how you get a sense of community.” The redevelopment that could come from the plan also would provide a good workforce and tax base for the city, Grabill said. “There is no question they’ll benefit not only with a more integrated community and with a vibrant downtown, but just from a tax base,” he said. “It’s not like, ‘If you build it,

of providing city services to them, Grigsby said. “Early on in the city’s development, we did a study, the Mt. Auburn study, on what type of development that will provide the amount of revenue to provide services,” she said. “It was high-end office. … That’s what we focused on early. What we want to do now is continue to diversify our tax base.” The city’s robust income-tax base is what has brought Dublin through the recession, city officials have said, and staff members are making plans to keep funds flowing. With the Bridge Street corridor plan, as well as district planning and rezoning in the Central Ohio Innovation Corridor, Dublin is continuing to plan and diversify. “We’re setting conditions right now,” said economic development administrator Colleen Gilger, mentioning the Bridge Street corridor and COIC. “We’re setting districts all around town to set up the second coming of Dublin. By putting these districts in place and understanding what industries are our strengths, we can know who to go out to and recruit.” Through market research and national experts, Dublin has determined the best plan for attracting business and residents to its core, the Bridge Street corridor, is to offer walkable, urban-style, mixed-use development. Bridge Street dreams For Pat Grabill, the man behind Historic Dublin’s town center developments on the

they will come.’They’re already here and looking for a place to go. We’re not building a new town; we’re redeveloping.” Continuing to attract good businesses and workers is exactly the goal Dublin has in mind with the Bridge Street corridor, Gilger said. “We’re setting conditions for that next step in our growth. If anything, what Bridge Street can do is not only add to the population but diversify it,” she said. “Most suburbs have middle-age people raising families. It’s difficult to capture younger and older ends of the spectrum. “Smart suburbs right now need to adapt so they can be more things to more people and have more opportunities to add people and uses,” she said. “We really need to be able to create housing opportunities for younger generations so we can be more of a complete community for all ages.” A diverse base of housing will attract a diverse population and, city leaders hope, a diverse business base, Gilger said. “By being able to diversify housing, we have a diverse workforce,” she said. “We could have different types of companies coming because of the population. Companies that are seeking out a different sense of place will seek out the Bridge Street corridor because of a more urban scale and more walkable environment. “It will be different types of retail products or companies that would be drawn to the suburbs,” Gilger said. “When it comes to diversification, we don’t want to rely on one industry and one type of worker. Diversity has played very well for us.”

Softball

Howard promoted to Coffman coach By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers Fourteen days after her older brother was named interim head coach of the Ohio State football team, Leah Howard also got a promotion. On June 13, Howard was named coach of the Dublin Coffman High School softball team, replacing Kevin Finan, who stepped down after five seasons. Howard had served as an assistant under Finan for the 2011 season. Luke Fickell had been the assistant

head coach of the Buckeyes before making national headlines on May 30 when he was promoted to replace Jim Tressel, who resigned after 10 seasons. “We’re excited to add an excellent teacher and coach in Leah. I just feel bad for Luke that his sister had to overshadow him this way so soon after he was hired as a head coach,” Coffman athletics director Tony Pusateri said with a laugh. “Seriously, though, Leah did a great job as Kevin’s assistant this past season, and when Kevin resigned, we knew she would be the perfect fit for the

job.” Howard, who will teach math at Coffman, has an extensive softball background as both a player and coach, as she earned four varsity letters in the sport at DeSales before graduating in 1993. Then at Shawnee State, she helped lead the Bears to four Mid-South Conference championships and earned NAIA all-American Scholar Athlete honors on the Bears’1996 national runner-up team. Howard was an assistant coach at DeSales in 1998 and ’99 before serving as an assistant coach at Morehead State in

Kentucky in 2000. From 2001 through 2005, she was the coach at DeSales before moving to Bangkok, Thailand, to teach at the ThaiChinese International School for the 2005-06 school year. She returned to central Ohio to coach Hamilton Township in 2007 before moving to Honolulu, Hawaii. After having a baby last fall, Howard returned to central Ohio and began serving as Coffman’s assistant coach. “I’m excited about this opportunity because I enjoy being around the kids

and helping them, and I want to give back to the game I love,” Howard said. “The kids already know me, so it should be a smooth transition going from an assistant to head coach. “We’re losing eight seniors, but we have some good athletes coming back. Our goal is to continue getting better and better.” Finan compiled a 62-72 record during his tenure with the Shamrocks. This spring, Coffman finished 8-19 overall See SOFTBALL, page B4

Club Soccer

Local teams set for regional By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A central Ohio club soccer team has won a Midwest Regional Cup title each of the past two summers after local squads failed to do so the previous six years. The Blast F.C. Under-15 More boys team won coverage, a Regional Cup pgs. B2-B3 in 2009, and the Crew Juniors U-19 boys squad won regional and national championships last year. Heading into the 2011 Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis., Crew Juniors U-19 boys coach Brian Bliss said he wouldn’t be surprised if a central Ohio squad won a regional championship for the third consecutive season. However, Bliss said it will be difficult for the five local boys teams and four local girls squads to win their age brackets regardless of their talent level. “Sometimes it’s more difficult to win the Regional Cup than the national tournament because you have to play five games in five days in the regional tournament and there’s very little room for error,” Bliss said. “A lot of people have forgotten, but we were three minutes away from being eliminated from pool play in the regional tournament last year before we rallied (for a 3-1 win over Everest Soccer Club) to reach the semifinals. A lot of teams have the talent and potential to win this tournament, but you need to make plays at the right time to get it done.” More than 270 preliminary games will be played as boys and girls U.S. Youth Soccer State Cup champions, select wildcards and Midwest Regional League qualifiers in the U-13 through U-19 age groups compete. All of the age groups have been divided into three- or four-team brackets, and every team will play a game within its bracket June 25, 26 and 27. The bracket winners will move on to semifinals June 28, with regional finals played June 29. Regional champions in the U14 through U-19 age groups will advance to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix.

Tyler Stephen will take over as girls tennis coach at Jerome after coaching two seasons at Thomas Worthington. He will remain the boys tennis coach at Thomas.

Girls Tennis

Stephen selected to coach Jerome By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers When Tyler Stephen attended the Ohio Tennis Coaches Association Division I district final between the Dublin Jerome High School girls tennis team and Upper Arlington last fall, little did he know that he would be taking over the Celtics’program the following season. Stephen recently stepped down as the girls coach at Thomas Worthington to become the Celtics coach. He replaces Cathy

Hall, who guided the Celtics to a 16-2 overall record last season but resigned to take another job out of state. Stephen will be the third coach in three years for Jerome, which has compiled a 51-6 overall record the past three seasons. The Celtics were ranked first in the final Division I state poll in 2009 and fifth last year. Jerome lost to UA 3-1 in the OTCA district final last year. “It’s a great opportunity,” Stephen said. “All those girls should be coming back, and I know a lot of them. How could I not

want to work with those girls?” Since its first season in 2004, Jerome has had a top-four placer in the state tournament every year except 2008. Elizabeth Farrar and Caroline Farrar won the Division II doubles title in 2004, Kate Turvy won the Division I singles title in 2006 and Kathryn Farrar and Jessica Easdale captured the Division I doubles title in 2007. Last year, Lauren Bellinger and Sarah Stein placed second at state in doubles, losing to Cincinnati Ursuline Academy’s Komal Safdar and Mehvish Safdar 6-4, 6-

2 in the final. Both Bellinger and Stein are expected to return this fall for their junior seasons. “You have a lot of girls (at Jerome) that tennis is their only sport and they just want to win championships,” Stephen said. “That’s what they’ve heard since they were young and that’s what they’ve seen from the girls who went before them.” Bellinger and Stein both got a chance to work with Stephen in the Ohio Valley See TENNIS, page B2

Cap City Senior Bowl

East all-stars hold on for 14-7 victory over West By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Scioto’s Tervon Moore (right) tries to fight though the block of See OVERVIEW, page B2 Marion-Franklin’s Jeremy McCoy on June 18.

To watch Grove City High School graduate Luke Smurthwaite scramble and make a play seemingly out of nothing, it looked like more was on the line than the outcome of an all-star football game. One of central Ohio’s top quarterbacks, Smurthwaite made sure his team didn’t lose without putting up a fight in the Cap City Senior Bowl on June 18 at Westerville Central. The Kent State recruit completed three of five passes for 36 yards during the West all-stars’ final drive, which ended at midfield with a fumble as time expired. A strong defensive effort led

by Independence lineman Tim Dysart (Morehead State) helped the East all-stars win 14-7. “It was really great to just be playing football again and getting the rust out of my system before I head off to college,” said Smurthwaite, who was named the West’s Offensive Player of the Game. “I’ve grown up scrambling around like that and I guess that’s why I’ve gotten good at it.” Smurthwaite, who passed for more than 2,300 yards last fall and played in the Ohio North-South All-Star Classic in April, didn’t have big numbers, but his abilities gave the West a chance to come back. It was no surprise to West coach Derek Katris, who coached Smurthwaite on junior varsity at Grove City.

“Luke’s going to give you everything he’s got,” said Katris, who is now the head coach at Briggs. “He’s going to play with all the heart he has. We had a lot of penalties and missed assignments, but what are you going to do when you only have (the players) for a week?” Marion-Franklin’s Jeremy McCoy, who also will play at Kent State, slipped past defenders and caught a 70-yard touchdown pass from Beechcroft quarterback Sheldon Akin (Mesabi Range Community & Technical College) with 1 minute, 36 seconds left in the half to give the East a 14-0 lead. The East also scored on its opening drive. Westerville South’s Jayshon Jackson (Grand Rapids See FOOTBALL, page B4

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Team Ohio F.C.

Green U-17 boys eye Midwest title By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Rosters

The Team Ohio F.C. Green Under-17 boys soccer team surprised many, including coach Steve Dawson, by winning the State Cup tournament for the first time in four years. After beating the CUP Crew Juniors 3-2 in a semifinal on May 14, Team Ohio defeated the Blast F.C. 1-0 in the final on May 15 as forward Sam Darling scored and A.J. Tresoline earned the shutout in goal. The CUP Crew Juniors were the No. 1 seed in the tournament and the Blast F.C. won a Regional Cup title and finished fifth in the national tournament two years ago. Given its State Cup performance, Dawson said he wouldn’t be surprised if his team continued to earn upsets in the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “This team doesn’t have a lot of players who are big stars and I thought we’d be doing well to get to the semifinals in the State Cup,” Dawson said. “But we shocked CUP, which was stronger than us talent-wise, player for player, and we upset the Blast in the final against all odds, and our players have a lot of confidence right now. This team has come on like gangbusters at the right time and is on a roll. If we continue playing like this in the regional tournament, I think we can keep winning there.” This will be Team Ohio’s first Regional Cup appearance since going 1-1-1 in pool play as a U13 team in 2007. Team Ohio will open pool play June 25 against ShattuckSt. Mary’s from Minnesota before playing June 26 against Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier and June 27 against the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors. The Grand Rapids Crew Juniors are first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings ahead of Elm Grove Premier (10th) and Team Ohio (26th). “We feel like we have a great chance to do well, even though we may be the lowest-ranked team going there,” defender A.G. Basiakos said. “We’re not the most talented team, but we can win games if we play tough defensively and continue to outwork our opponents.” Dawson said Basiakos and Tresoline will need to lead his defense, while Darling is expected to spark his offense. Darling also scored two goals in Team Ohio’s State Cup semifinal win. “A.G. is our captain and strongest player in the back, and A.J. has been playing great in

felt could compete at the top level, and this team has lost only one game since December,” Dawson said. “It’s a strange team because we’ve had a lot of injuries and our practices haven’t been fantastic, but it keeps winning games.” In pool play, Team Ohio Blast will face CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati on June 25, the Michigan Wolves on June 26 and the KCFC Rangers from Kansas on June 27. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the KCFC Rangers are eighth, the Michigan Wolves are 15th and the CUP Crew Juniors are 35th. “We got an OK draw, but all of our pool play games are going to be tough,” Dawson said. “We’re a streaky team in that sometimes we score a lot and other times we win games 1-0. This team has some of the best high school players in the area and we haven’t been dominated by anyone, so I think we’ll be competitive in every game in this tournament.” •The Team Ohio F.C. Juventus U-16 boys team, which lost to the CUP Crew Juniors 3-1 in a State Cup final on May 15, received a wildcard to advance to the Regional Cup tournament for the third consecutive year. Team Ohio went 2-0-1 and won its pool in the Regional Cup two years ago, before losing to St. Louis SG Academy 2-0 in a semifinal. Last year in the Regional Cup, Team Ohio went 1-2 in pool play. “This team has been disjointed up to this point in the season, but we have a lot of talented players such as Tyler Kidwell, Rylee Woods, Alex Polko, Gunnar Bloecher and Alec Binger,” Dawson said. “This team underachieved this year, but we can win at regional if we play together like we have in the past. This is a chance to rectify not playing up to potential in the State Cup.” In pool play, Team Ohio will face the Lemont (Ill.) Raiders on June 25, WAZA West Black from Michigan on June 26 and KCFC United from Kansas on June 27. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, Team Ohio is fifth behind the Lemont Raiders (No. 1) and ahead of WAZA West Black (14th) and KCFC United (21st). “Our experience (in past Regional Cup tournaments) should help because playing at a higher level gets you prepared for this kind of game speed,” goalkeeper Trent Rantala said. “The key for us is to keep possession and link passes to get an attack going.”

goal,” Dawson said. “Sam’s one of the fastest players in the state. Overall, this is one of the least heralded teams on paper. But you never know what can happen because we aren’t supposed to be going there in the first place.” •Players from past Team Ohio F.C. and Blast F.C. boys teams have merged this season to become the Team Ohio F.C. Blast U-18 boys team. Most of Team Ohio Blast’s players have competed in the Regional Cup. The players from the Blast participated in the event at the U-13, U-14 and U-15 levels, and the players from Team Ohio F.C. won the State Cup as both a U-13 and U-16 team.

OVERVIEW Continued from page B1 Ohio Premier Eagles club director Chris King said teams need to do more than play well to win a Regional Cup. They also need some luck. “You have to play well and find a way to win against great competition, but a lot of this comes down to luck,” said King, who helped guide the Ohio Premier U-13 girls team to a regional championship in 2002. “In the closer games, you may need to have a few bounces or a referee’s call go your way. “The luck of the draw is another big factor because teams aren’t seeded at regional and there

have been a lot of years where the top two or three teams in the regional end up in the same bracket of pool play, and some of the better teams get eliminated early on.” Local teams that won State Cup championships to advance to the Regional Cup are: the Classics Eagles U-13 boys, Team Ohio F.C. U-17 boys, Team Ohio F.C. U-18 boys, Crew Juniors U19 boys, Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls, Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 girls and Ohio Premier Eagles U-19 girls. The Ohio Premier Eagles U18 girls squad qualified as a representative of the Midwest Regional League and the Team Ohio

F.C. U-16 boys team qualified as a State Cup tournament wildcard. This will be the third appearance for the Team Ohio F.C. U16 boys, Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 girls, Ohio Premier Eagles U-18 girls and Ohio Premier Eagles U-19 girls, and the second appearance for the Team Ohio F.C. U-17 boys. “Any of us have a chance to win it,” Team Ohio F.C. club director Steve Dawson said. “If you have good coaching and have kids who stick together and play well together, you can compete at the regional level.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Eagles U-18 girls team emphasizing defense By AARON BLANKENSHIP

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

As the Ohio Premier Eagles Under-18 girls soccer team conducted drills in its indoor facility June 17, coach Chris King halted practice three times to emphasize the importance of taking away passing lanes in the center of the field. Moments later, King was shouting words of praise and encouragement as his players clogged those seams and deflected the ball to the perimeter again and again. At the conclusion of practice, King said his team will need to continue playing defense with that same level of enthusiasm to be a true contender in the Midwest Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “This is stuff that we’ve gone through hundreds of times at this stage of their careers, but doing the basic things right in a tournament like this is what makes the difference,” King said. “All of the teams that we’ll see there will be highly skilled, but the teams that defend well and pay attention to small details are the ones that will be successful.” The Ohio Premier Eagles lost to Ohio Elite 3-2 in a State Cup final on May 15, but qualified for the Regional Cup on a wildcard as a representative of the Midwest Regional League. Last year, the Ohio Premier Eagles also qualified for the Regional Cup as a wildcard and went 3-0 in pool play to advance to a regional semifinal, where they defeated Mockingbird Premier from Kentucky 3-0. The Ohio Premier Eagles then lost to the Michigan Hawks 2-1 in double overtime in the final. Before the Ohio Premier and Eagles S.C. clubs merged, Ohio Premier qualified for the Regional Cup as a U-14 squad and the Eagles S.C. advanced to the Regional Cup as a U-15 team. “Last year, a lot of us were stuck on being friends with only our old teammates, but now we’re all good friends and everyone is clicking together,” forward Michela Paradiso said. “We know what it feels like to be so close to winning regional, so we’ve been motivated to put in the extra time in practice

to try to make ourselves good enough to win it this year.” The Ohio Premier Eagles will open pool play on June 25 against KCFC Intensity from Kansas before playing Eden Prairie from Minnesota on June 26 and DASC Black from South Dakota on June 27. KCFC Intensity is first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, ahead of Ohio Premier (sixth) and Eden Prairie (12th). “Those first two games are going to be really tough,” midfielder Megan Scoliere said. “Both of those teams are really talented, so we’re going to need to work harder than them to beat them. That’s why we’re pushing ourselves so hard every day in practice.” •The Ohio Premier Eagles U16 girls team will compete in the Regional Cup for the third consecutive year after winning its fourth State Cup title.

Last year, the Ohio Premier Eagles went 2-1 in pool play in the Regional Cup. In 2009, Ohio Premier advanced to a Regional Cup final but lost to the Eclipse Select from Illinois 10 on penalty kicks. “This is a great team that is full of players who are highly sought after by college coaches,” King said. “Gabby Byorth has made the U-17 national team camp, and we have a lot of players who have

done well at the regional level.” In pool play, the Ohio Premier Eagles will face the Kansas City (Kan.) Fusion on June 25, the Michigan Football Club on June 26 and the Illinois State Cup champion on June 27. The Ohio Premier Eagles are third in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, ahead of the Michigan Football Club (sixth). “We’re as talented as any team in the country, but the girls need to bring a physical aspect to their game in this tournament or the other teams will try to bully them around,” King said. “We need to find that balance between playing a high-level quality of soccer and also standing up to the teams that are physical. If we do that and stay healthy, this team could go a long way.” •The Ohio Premier Eagles U19 girls team earned its second consecutive State Cup title on June 5 when it beat CUP 1-0 in the final. Last year in the Regional Cup tournament, the Ohio Premier Eagles went 1-2 in pool play and failed to reach a semifinal. “Most of these girls have played together for seven years, and when they returned home from college, you would never know they’ve been apart for a year because they play so well together,” coach Matt Ogden said. “They already know our system and their chemistry is still great. They know each other inside-out, and that gives us an advantage over a lot of U-19 teams that have been put together with

ed,” Bellinger said. “We got to know more about him and his plans for the season.” “He knows what he is talking about,” Stein said. “When we were playing doubles, he would reassure us and pump us up. He seems to be an all-around good coach.” Stephen compiled an 18-17 overall record in two seasons at Thomas. “I’ve loved my time at Thomas,” he said. “They gave me the op-

portunity to begin my coaching career. But you are not going to be in the same situation forever. I just felt like I needed to move in this direction.” Stephen plans to stay on with the Thomas boys team, which he has coached the past three seasons. This spring, the Cardinals finished 11-5 overall and reached a Division I district final of the OTCA tournament before losing to Jerome 4-1.

The Crew Juniors Under-19 boys soccer team played stifling defense en route to winning the Midwest Regional Cup and the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships last year. The squad posted two shutouts and gave up five goals in five games in the regional tournament. In the national tournament, the Crew Juniors earned two shutouts and gave up three goals in four contests. The team now features a roster that coach Brian Bliss said likely will utilize a more offensive style of play in the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “Last year’s team was probably a bet-

ter-defending group, but we’re stronger on the attack this year,” Bliss said. “That’s not to say that we’re going to leak a lot of goals, because our defending group isn’t poor. I’m just saying we have more creativity and speed on the attacking end of the field, so we won’t have to rely on our defense as much as we did last year. We have the firepower to come from behind to win games if we need to, so we have the option of being more aggressive.” The Crew Juniors feature two members of the U.S. U-20 National Team in forward Dylan Mares and defender Eriq Zavaleta, along with two members of the U.S. U-18 National Team in forward Chris Hegngi and midfielder A.J. Corrado. Five players who competed in the 2010 NCAA Division I championship game, in which Akron defeated Louisville 1-0, also play for the Crew Juniors, including

Akron goalkeeper Andrian McAdams and Akron midfielder Kyle Culbertson. Mares and midfielders Andrew Farrell and Alex Obbey competed for Louisville. The Crew Juniors went 3-0 in the State Cup tournament and outscored their opponents 11-0, including a 2-0 win over the Blast F.C. in the final on June 5. “This team is equal to, if not slightly better than, last year’s U-19 team,” Bliss said. “But we’ll need to play well and there’s always an element of luck involved in winning any championship. Hopefully, we’ll play well enough to make our own luck, like we did last year.” The Crew Juniors will open pool play June 25 against St. Croix from Minnesota before playing June 26 against the Chicago Fire Juniors and June 27 against the Des Moines (Iowa) Menace. Last year in the Regional Cup, the Crew

Juniors went 2-0-1 in pool play and had to rally to beat Ohio rival Everest Soccer Club 3-1 in its final pool-play contest to advance to a semifinal. After beating Waza F.C. (Mich.) 3-0 in a semifinal, the Crew Juniors beat the Kansas City Wizards 43 in double overtime in the final. “This was a middle of the road type of draw for us,” Bliss said. “We play an Illinois team on the second day, which is never easy. It’s very difficult to win this tournament because you play five games in five days. There’s a small margin for error in this tournament. Last year we (were) three minutes away from being eliminated from group play before going on to win the regional and national tournaments.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Classics Eagles

Defense vital for U-13 boys team By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Roster

The Classics Eagles Under-13 boys soccer team has several players capable of scoring goals. But coach Mike Lentz said his squad will need to continue playing strong defense to be successful in the Midwest Regional Cup, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “We have the ability to score goals, but defense is our strong suit,” Lentz said. “Tough games against good teams aren’t always pretty, and that’s when you need to play great team defense to give yourself a chance to win. Your best scorers can sometimes be a little off, but a good defensive team will always come through for you. I’ll take a good old-fashion, blue-collar 1-0 win over a high-scoring Texasshootout any day.” The Classics Eagles went 5-0 in the State Cup tournament, outscoring their opponents 10-1

en route to winning the first State Cup title in their club’s two-year history. In the final on May 22, the Classics Eagles defeated the Crew Juniors 1-0 on penalty kicks. After the game remained scoreless through regulation and two five-minute overtime periods, the Classics Eagles outscored the Crew Juniors 4-2 on penalty

kicks. Nick Teutsch, Tyler Stills, Cameron Campbell and Will Bolton scored and goalkeeper J.P. Baughman made a save to secure the victory. “I’m of the opinion that defense wins championships, and we did a great job of defending in the State Cup tournament,” Lentz said. “We don’t just bunker it in, though. We have kids who can play and score goals, but we’re very organized on the field and we’re able to fight and grind out wins when we need to.” The Classics Eagles will open Midwest Regional Cup pool play on June 25 against the Wichita (Kan.) Lightning before playing June 26 against Vardar from Michigan and June 27 against Cleveland Pacesetter. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the Classics Eagles are 18th and Vardar is fifth. In the State Cup tournament, the Classics Eagles upset the Crew Juniors 2-0 in pool play on May 15 before beating the Crew Juniors again in the final.

Teutsch scored winning goals in the Classics Eagles’ 4-0 win over Hammer F.C. Premier on May 8, their first victory over the Crew Juniors and their 1-0 win over the Ohio Premier Eagles in a semifinal on May 21. The Crew Juniors are fourth in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings. “Because we’re a new club and not a household name, we may be considered an underdog, but we beat a very good Crew Juniors team twice to get this far, so I’m confident we can compete at this level,” Lentz said. “Vardar is one of the best teams in our region, so we’ll need to play great defense and find a way to score enough goals to win. Our goalie and two center backs, Mark Just and Will Bolton, have played together since they were 9 years old, and we’ve got some technically gifted midfielders and forwards.” By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Lacrosse

Dublin players named to All-American team By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Eight area high school lacrosse teams placed seniors on the All-American and Academic All-American boys and girls teams announced by U.S. Lacrosse. Attacker Ryan Borcherding of Dublin Coffman, attacker Leo Horine and defender John Horner of Dublin Jerome, defender Kyle Moses of Olentangy and midfielder Luke Treece and attacker Cam Williams of Upper Arlington were boys first-team All-Americans. In addition, UA midfielder Ben GrindledeGraff, Hilliard Davidson defender Matt

Arthur and Westerville Central midfielder Jake Marburger were named Academic All-Americans. UA attacker Adriane Ghidotti was the only central Ohio girls player named firstteam All-American. Wellington attacker Grace Korandovich and Thomas Worthington midfielder Lily Yednock were honorable mention selections. Horine and Horner helped Jerome finish 19-1 overall and win the Division II state title with a 13-4 win over Hunting Valley University School in the final on June 4 at Westerville Central. Moses said he tried to show no emotion after coach Mike Kinney told him

he had been selected as Olentangy’s first All-American. Moses, who has signed to play at High Point University in North Carolina, thought Kinney might be kidding. “When my coach told me I was nominated, I was excited more than anything else, but I thought I didn’t have any chance of earning the honor,” Moses said. “When (Kinney) told me later I was selected, I wanted to scream and yell, but my coach is a little bit of a jokester, so I didn’t do anything. “I knew that I had put the time and the effort in and went to a lot of summer tournaments, but I was very surprised.”

Ghidotti, an honorable mention AllAmerican last year, said she found out before the Golden Bears’Division I state semifinal against Hudson on June 3 that she had made first-team All-American. “Paul Caldwell (the former Coffman coach who runs the NorthStar summer league) called me and said, ‘I don’t want to put any pressure on you, but you were just named first-team All-American,’” said Ghidotti, who scored three goals in a 13-11 win over Hudson. “I was like, ‘Oh great, now there’s a ton of pressure.’ It was very exciting for me and gave me a lot of extra energy.” Ghidotti, a University of Connecticut

signee, said dealing with expectations in lacrosse is a way of life at UA. The girls team, which lost to Medina 14-13 in the state title game and finished 16-5 overall, has reached the state final the past four years, while the boys team had a string of 19 consecutive state final appearances snapped this season with a 104 loss to Worthington Kilbourne in a Central Region final on May 28. “The tradition is so rich at Upper Arlington,” Ghidotti said. “We all have to live up to this (standard of) excellence.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

2008, but Anthony Murphy, one of the organizers in conjunction with Capcitypreps.com, wanted to get players throughout central Ohio involved. Players from the City, Central Catholic and MidState leagues and the OCC were added, with Interstate 71 as a dividing line. The name of the game was changed last summer, when the East beat the West 22-0. “Last year we had kids from Olentangy Orange becoming friends with kids who live on (Columbus’) west side in the ‘Bottoms’ and picking them up for practice,” Murphy said. “The guys really build relationships out of this and it goes deeper than football.”

Community College), the district’s Division I Offensive Player of the Year, capped the drive with a 2yard touchdown run. “We really executed our offense in the first half, but I think we got a little bit too conservative in the second half,” said East coach Jeff Pharion, who is the head coach at St. Charles. “We kept it simple with schemes and blitzes defensively, and we executed very well.” The West only crossed midfield twice in the first half. Whetstone running back Jordan Mitchell (Urbana) made it 14-7 when he reversed field and scored on an 18-yard run with 11:35 left in the fourth quarter.

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio

FAB 5 By Jim Fischer

jfischer@thisweeknews.com “We’re the young gen1 eration …” Well, we all were, once. Doesn’t mean that we can’t still have a little fun celebrating the 45th anniversary of The Monkees. Of course, when The Beat was the young generation, we watched the TV show, bought and listened to the records, took our sandwich to school in the lunchbox — heck, we tried to wear the clothes, or at least something like them. As an adult, we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing both Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork, two of the three original Monkees, with Davy Jones, that infrequently still make these treks to remind folks that “We may be coming to your town.” As in, Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Friday, June 24.

Aided by a full band fronted by singers James Delisco, Kelli Reisen and Felecia Barton, and conducted by Larry Baird, the CSO will pay tribute to the King of Pop on many of his best and well-known songs.

Umphrey’s McGee

Radhuni is more exotic, less expensive than Indian Oven Lovers of the Indian Oven — and the Oven’s a player with tons of lovers — might suddenly be motivated to stray. See, the Oven’s handsome younger brother has blown into town, and he’s just as hot as the Oven, only even more interesting and exotic. Plus — and this’ll be a big plus for potential paramours — this one sits in an easily accessible neighborhood. Located on Olentangy River Road near Ackerman, Radhuni is the attractive newbie, and its seductive cuisine and proximity to Clintonville, OSU, Upper Arlington and Grandview portend a lengthy list of future friends. Count me in. Radhuni (Bengali for a potent and popular spice) occupies a brightly colored and sleek space that’s long and narrow, completely kitschless and virtually decoration-free. Other than few large and unconventional architectural storage elements, the eye-catchers are limited to a fire-engine red, sky-high ceiling and smooth, cream-colored walls

MENU by G.A. Benton further cooled by deep swaths of soothing blue paint. Radhuni’s food is as distinctive as its appearance. Oh, sure, you can get all of those ho-hum, same-old same-olds like tandoori chicken, but what makes this place special are much rarer dishes, many Bengali in origin. For a hearty starter, target the large and excellent alu kabobs ($6.25). Considering they’re huge and un-skewered tuber croquettes (alu means potato), they’re misleadingly labeled. Considering they’re absolutely delicious — a puffy and plump quartet of crisp breadcrumbed, cumin-kissed mashers with chopped hard egg in the middle — who cares? Equally fun, if a bit greasy, were fried Indochinese treats called cabbage chick-

en rolls ($7). These were like handmade spring rolls jammed with cabbage and a bunch of super-satisfying, mustard seed-powered, minced curried chicken. Chicken again was uncommonly interesting in two standout features listed under House Specialties (where I

was directed by well-informed waiters.) Chickpea chicken ($13) was a bone-in half-chicken stewed in a rich split garbanzo bean base bearing an intensified, dal-like flavor. Adding to the fingerlicking party were turmeric, ginger and a blast of what tasted like that crazy (and for me, addictive) Indian condiment called mixed pickle. The roasted chicken ($14) is one of those killer dinners with a prosaic name belying mouth-walloping flavors. Another half-bird on the bone was perfectly, succulently roasted and drenched in a complex, sweet and spicy, thick and sticky sauce featuring long-cooked onions with a zingy and cardamomleavened curry kick. Moving beyond poultry, the shrimp biryani ($17) had a lot going on, also. Basically a shareable saffron rice dish, it was populated with sweet little freshwater shrimp, coconut, raisins, crushed nuts, peas and Indian aromatics. My only problem with the luscious, unctuous and falling-off-the-bone Ben-

Radhuni Address: 2895 Olentangy River Road, campus Phone: (614) 447-9760 Web: radhunicuisine.com gali lamb shank ($15) was that I wanted more. A glistening, smallish leg of lamb was slathered with a tangy, rich and vinegar-aroused gravy deepened by red and green peppers. Potatoes and rice were provided to sop up every last bit of the wonderful sauce — but if you still lick your plate when nobody’s looking, I’d understand. For a refreshing but comforting dessert, try the cool and pleasantly viscous fruit custard ($5). Healthier than it tastes, it’s tangy homemade yogurt moderately sweetened with “a touch of cream” and chopped mangoes and mandarin oranges. Sure, Indian Oven also offers that, but (shhhh) it’s cheaper at Radhuni — and there are more things to do afterward nearby.

New Yabo’s Tacos touts chef-inspired fresh menu Classically trained by some of the best chefs in the country, Scott Boles has changed culinary directions, to say the least. On June 17, Boles and partners Brent King and Greg Debbe opened Yabo’s Tacos in the former Giammarco’s Pizza & Pasta site at 7097 state Route 3 in Westerville. But it’s not just any taco joint, Boles said. “I have my standards,” he said. They include beef and pork shoulder, each braised for 12 hours in a signature blend of spices. The fish tacos, made of cod loins, are topped with an ancho chile aioli. Yabo’s offers three distinct, homemade sauces: Serrano-lime (hot), chipotle (medium) and “Sissy” (mild) with a base of tomato and chiles. Each is offered tableside and for retail sale. Noth-

ing is frozen. “It’s still slow food,” Boles said. “It’s from-scratch preparation.” Yabo’s menu is pretty straightforward: tacos and burritos, using either white corn or flour tortillas, plus rice bowls and wraps. Aside from braised meats and fish, the menu offers grilled steak, shrimp, chicken and vegetables, and sautéed ground beef. Several salads topped with house-made dressing, plus a white bean and chicken chili and a vegetarian soup round out the menu selections. The 3,000-square-foot interior seats 75, with an additional 50 on the patio. The place has a full liquor license. (Giammarco’s has since moved down the street.)

Boles acknowledges the existing rivalry in the fresh-Mex market from taco trucks, Mexican restaurants, Chipotle, Qdoba and newcomer Hot Head Burritos, which has plans for at least a dozen stores in the Columbus market. “I expect us to see more competition in the future,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ve got a jump on them.” The partners have plans to open five more Yabo’s in the Columbus market. With inexpensive fare, beer and lots of TVs, they’re going after the sports-bar segment of the industry. Boles received an associate’s degree in hotel and restaurant management from Northeastern University and an associate’s degree in culinary arts from Bunker Hill Community College. He considers his top mentors to be Jim Berrini, former personal chef for President John F. Kennedy, and Arthur Bucceri, chef at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. “I suppose what they taught me the most are the lessons of technique,” Boles said. “Technique is key, giving you a style that’s your own and hopefully different and stands out more than other cooks.” Working mostly in resorts across the country, and owning two restaurants of his own, Boles said hasn’t been an active chef for more than 15 years. His life after the restaurant business included everything from being a district manager for a vending-machine business to hawking cell phones to joining the corporate world. But nothing had to do with food. He cooked for many charity events and taught cooking classes to keep fresh, but the restaurant business kept tugging at his apron strings. But he didn’t want to live in the kitchen, something required in a full-service restaurant. By Chris Parker/ThisWeek “Now I’m having a different kind of fun,” he said.

Independence Day

Noble to lead Dublin’s parade By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Jeff Noble has led Dublin’s Independence Day parade previously. The 25-year U.S. Army veteran led the parade as part of the color guard for the local American Legion post, but this year he’ll serve as the grand marshal for Dublin’s Independence Day parade and festivities. The longtime Dublin resident said he has no Independence Day traditions, but he has spent several years at the head of the parade that will begin at 11 a.m. Monday, July 4. “I’m commander of the local Legion post, and we do the color guard for the parade, so I’ve done the parade before,” he said. “But I’ve never done the event at the high school. It’ll be a new experience for me.” In the army, Noble served as a helicopter pilot and retired as a lieutenant colonel. To him, the Fourth of July is an important holiday. “It’s a worthwhile holiday, and I look forward to supporting that,” he said. Dublin chooses its grand marshal annually via a committee of previous grand marshals, City Manager Marsha Grigsby and Mayor Tim Lecklider. The honor is given to

“an individual who has made a significant contribution to the city through volunteer and professional efforts and has demonstrated patriotism through the development of community and/or community values,” a news release from the city stated. Noble has contributed to the city as a member of the Wesley G. Davids Dublin Post 800 of the American Legion, as a volunteer basketball and track coach at St. Brigid of Kildare School and as an 11-year Dublin Irish Festival volunteer. “Not only has he been a chairperson of the volunteer committee for the festival, but for the past several years he was also instrumental with helping as a project leader for police riot drills last summer,” said Christine Nardecchia, Dublin’s volunteer coordinator. “Jeff, who is a retired colonel, is now known around the police department as Col. Noble. He represented the volunteer committee for the drill. He was terrific with keeping the crowd in order and getting them roiled up.” Noble also has been involved with Memorial Day and Veterans Day activities in the community and enjoys teaching students about appreciating their freedoms, Nardecchia said. “He’s one of those people who doesn’t just

serve himself; he inspires other to serve, as well,” she said. “Jeff is the perfect example of the typical baby boomer looking to do meaningful service and has leadership and communication skills to do that. I’m grateful to say he’s one of our best volunteer partners out there. He’s been involved with the festival since 2000, so this is his 11th year with the Dublin Irish Festival as a city volunteer. He’s something.” Noble, who moved to the Columbus area in 1991 and Dublin in 1993, said he has plenty of time to volunteer around the community since retiring. As grand marshal, Noble will be called upon to lead the parade and judge the floatdecorating contest. He’ll also judge the tabledecorating contest in the evening. Independence Day festivities will begin at 8 a.m. with the Sherm Sheldon Fishing Derby, followed by the parade at 11 a.m. Evening activities will begin at 5 p.m. with the Skyhoundz Hyperflite Canine Frisbee Disc Championship at 5 p.m. Smokey Robinson will perform at 8:15, with fireworks slated for 9:50.

County fighting Dublin’s mosquito population By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With an especially rainy spring, Franklin County Public Health has been working to fight the bugs since mid-April. Franklin County Public Health, which Dublin uses for mosquito control, is focusing on breeding sites, testing and public education to prevent a mosquito problem this summer. “They have been out working since the middle of April,” said Ron Burns, Dublin’s director of streets and utilities. “They’ve been treating any area throughout the city that typically has standing water, and they’ve been treating using a larvicide. Those areas typically are streams, ponds, ditches (and) catch basins.” Larvicides kill the bug larvae. Residents could help by “minimizing any standing water on their properties,” Burns said, “such as gutters, birdbaths, buckets, outdoor toys, dripping faucets, any place water stands for more than a couple days.” Thus far, the effort seems to be working. “The mosquito counts in May were quite a bit higher than normal; however, in June, they’re drop-

ping pretty quickly,” Burns said. According to figures on the FCPH website, the mosquito population in Dublin peaked in late May and decreased in June. For example, the Dublin north trap gathered 271 mosquitoes on May 31 but only 48 on June 6. The northeast trap collected 238 mosquitoes May 31. The number decreased to 113 June 6. The traps are set to catch a species of mosquito that is tested for such diseases as the West Nile virus. “We have five traps throughout the city of Dublin that are designed to attract culex mosquitoes,” Burns said. “Culex are a species of mosquito that most frequently carries West Nile, and those mosquitoes are trapped and tested weekly. So far we’ve had no positive testing for West Nile.” Spraying for adults in Dublin thus far has been minimal. Burns said the Muirfield Tournament requested spraying. Anyone with a mosquito problem should contact FCPH. “We really would like people to call the Franklin County bite line at (614) 525-BITE (2483) and report any issues with mosquitoes,” Burns said. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Leadership academy provides opportunity for area students By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Thirty-four area high school students have a better understanding of what it means to be a leader after six days studying at the first Central Ohio Leadership Academy held at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts in New Albany. “I learned a lot more about getting to know myself,” said senior Alissa Barwinski of Dublin Scioto High School. The students — all seniors — listened to guest speakers daily and worked in small groups with facilitators from The Ohio State University Student Leadership Advocates program from June 15-17 and June 20-22. Each day, they studied one topic about how to become better leaders. “The end goal is for them to leave here with new confidence in themselves,” said Tony Macerollo, one of the academy teachers. “Knowing oneself is paramount in leadership.” Macerollo teaches the leadership and civic virtue class at New Albany High School. The Central Ohio Leadership Academy was developed this year by educators from the Ohio State Fisher College of Business, the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio and the New AlbanyPlain Local School District. The New Albany Community Foundation and the Easton Community Foundation sponsored the academy. To attend the leadership academy, students needed recommendations from faculty members at their schools and had to apply by answering a series of essay questions. Craig Mohre, president of the New Albany Community Foundation, said the idea came out of the foundation’s annual fundraiser, called “A Remarkable Evening,” which usually features a famous author or nationally known speaker. As part of the event, the speaker usually meets with area high school students in an effort to help promote student leader-

ship. Mohre said 2008 speaker Walter Issacson called students to action, telling them that learning isn’t enough and encouraging them to be engaged in their communities. Many students took that challenge and made it their own. Mohre said they started several different programs, which sowed the seeds for the leadership academy, as the people involved began thinking about how to provide students with more leadership opportunities. Throughout the six-day program, students learned from case studies about the qualities many leaders possess. Ralph Johnson, a former New Albany-Plain Local superintendent who now works for the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio, spoke to the students June 20 about emotional intelligence. He said research on leaders shows that people who are good communicators, who are logical, who can appreciate patterns in everything from numbers to music and who understand the importance of both inter and intrapersonal relationships have strong leadership qualities. “Successful leaders are astute at managing their emotions,” Johnson said. Many of the students said the academy was beneficial. “I think this will help me with my leadership skills and help with my profession I’m going into,” said De’Chua Williams, a senior at Columbus West High School. Bexley High School’s Emily Rapport and Barwinski said they would use skills they learned during their senior years. Barwinski said she hopes to be a squad leader for her school’s marching band and Rapport said she already has been chosen as student council president and is an officer in the school choir. “I felt this was an opportunity for growth and reflection that I can use in my elected leadership roles this coming year,” Rapport said. Williams said the academy was very fulfilling. He said it taught

him how to become an effective leader. Rapport said the academy also provided her with a lesson on how important it is to be accountable for your actions. “I learned how to take action and to be held accountable, not just as a leader, but as a person,” she said. Jordan Davis, one of four Ohio State Student Leadership Advocates who facilitated the students’ small groups, said the world is so technology focused that it’s important for students to learn how to be part of a discussion. Zack Rubin, another of the Ohio State facilitators, said students would face many situations presented during the academy again and again throughout their lives. “They are confronting dilemmas that don’t go away,” he said. “They just become tougher and stakes get higher. They get to hone their skills now in a safer environment.” New Albany seniors Hunter Lawhead and Mac Ferguson said the academy was beneficial because it was provided free to the participants and offered college credit through Ohio State. The academy was funded through the partnership between the Easton and New Albany community foundations, so no cost as incurred to participating students. The students who completed the six-day course will receive two college credits through Ohio, said Roy Lewicki, professor of business ethics and management and human resources for the Fisher College of Business. Throughout the academy, students worked with Lewicki, Macerollo and Phil Koppel, a retired teacher from central Ohio. The facilitators from the Student Leadership Advocates were Sarah Beale, a senior majoring in leadership studies and sociology, and recent graduates Davis, who has a degree in political science and leadership studies; Maddie Luna, who has a degree in middle childhood education; and Rubin, who has a degree in political science and strategic communications.

Columbus Zoo and Aquarium director emeritus Jack Hanna was honored by the National Wildlife Federation this week. While honoring “Wildlife Heroes” at a Voices for Wildlife gala, Hanna was honored for his pioneering work in educating the public on wildlife conservation, a news release from the zoo said. “It is wonderful for Jack to be recognized nationally for his efforts to educate the world on how important it is to take care of our environment,” said Dale Schmidt, president and CEO of the Columbus Zoo, in the release. “His philosophy — to touch the heart, to teach the mind — has opened many minds to this issue and has become the mantra of the world famous Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.” Hanna was also named a Wildlife Hero, along with Alyssa Milano, Anderson Cooper and Howard Ruby.

Education news Dublin’s high schools nationally ranked Dublin’s three high schools made Newsweek’s list of the top high schools across the nation for the fourth year in a row. The three high schools were ranked higher than last year, each making the top 300. Jerome High School was ranked 109, Coffman 223 and Scioto 300. “These are some of our highest rankings ever,” Superintendent David Axner said in a news release. “The entire community should be proud of the quality of our high schools. Our parents, students and teaching staff deserve this recognition.” The ranking by Newsweek is based on graduation rate, college matriculation rate, AP tests taken per graduate, average ACT and SAT scores, AP courses offered and average scores from advances tests such as AP and International Baccalaureate.

Financial finesse

Don’t let thieves spoil your vacation First, it’s great that you are aware of the risks and are seeking ways to protect yourself before you become a victim. It’s much easier to take precautions now than have to restore your identity and reputation later. Being away from home and in unfamiliar places could bring increased risk to consumers, opening doors to thieves. More purchases than usual are made this time of the year, as well, so additional withdrawals might go unnoticed until you get back to home base. Your identity could be stolen in a number of ways, including loss or theft of your wallet, purse or credit card; stealing your mail or taking documents from your trash; skimming information from the magnetic strip on credit or debit cards; giving personal or financial information over the phone to strangers; or hacking into your computer. If you are catching up on paying bills or doing any online shopping while you are on vacation, be sure you are using secure websites. Be careful in stores to protect your wallet, purse and credit cards and watch to be sure store personnel handle your credit card properly. Also watch out for people hovering near you or using a camera phone. Being extra aware of your surroundings and always being organized also make you more focused and alert so you can spot potential problems. Keep receipts for all purchases and check the receipt against your credit card or other ac-

count statements to be sure it is accurate. Signs that indicate your identity has been stolen include unauthorized charges on your credit-card statement or on your checking account; unauthorized transfers or GABRIELLE withdrawals on your bank WHITTAKER statements; accounts on your credit report that you did not open; calls from a collection agency, asking why you have not paid a bill; and calls from a financial institution about an account you did not open. If you become a victim of identity theft, contact the financial institutions or companies where the information has been used to alert them of the situation. Also contact the police and a credit-reporting agency and request that they place a fraud alert on your account. Keep records of whom you talk to and summaries of conversations. Many financial institutions offer identity-protection packages. You’ll have no better time to safeguard your identity than before you head out for a summertime vacation.
