Grandview City Schools
O’Reilly anticipates ‘excellent’ rating By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Preliminary results indicate the Grandview Heights City School District will meet all the testing standards on the 2010-11 state report card. The report card standards measure the district’s success on the state’s third-, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-, seventh- and eighth grade achievement tests and the Ohio Graduation Test.
The data is still preliminary and could change before the final report card is released later this summer, but the district is on target to receive a rating of “excellent,” Ed O’Reilly Superintendent Ed O’Reilly said. The district will exceed the state standard of having at least 75 percent of its
students earn a proficient or higher score on each of the achievement tests, O’Reilly said. A particularly impressive example of the district’s success on the achievement test is the indication that 98 percent of its eighth-graders passed the math test, he said. “To have a 98-percent passage rate in math is overwhelming,” O’Reilly said. “It will almost certainly rank us with the very best rate in the state.”
The achievement test results represents “a snapshot” of students’ performance on a given day, he said. “I always tell parents you can get a better indication of your child’s progress by talking to your child’s principal and teachers,” O’Reilly said. Grandview should also easily meet the graduation rate standard of 90 percent and the attendance rate of 93 percent, he said. Data on whether the district’s value
added rating exceeds expected gains is still pending, O’Reilly said. The value added rating represents the progress the district has made with its students since last year. The district is also waiting to receive data regarding the district’s performance index score and whether it has met its adequate yearly progress (AYP) goals, he said. See RATING, page A2
Cycling Classic event returns to Grandview Sunday
Secretary retiring after 21 years at GHHS

Grandview Heights High School will have a new principal next year. It will also have a new principal’s secretary. Emily Klingensmith is retiring June 30 after 32 years working in the district, including the past 21 years in the high school office. Even before being hired by the district, she served as a volunteer at what was then Edison Elementary. “I started out volunteering in my daughter’s classrooms, and I enjoyed it so much I began volunteering in another teacher’s room,” Klingensmith said. “I just really enjoyed being around the students,” she said. That has never changed, Klingensmith said. “It’s the students and the wonderful staff we have here,” she said. “They have made this job so much fun.” Klingensmith first worked as a teacher’s aide in fourth-, fifthand sixth-grade classrooms, then as an office assistant at Edison.

The Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic will return for its 19th year Sunday with its mix of speed and strategy. “Cycling at this level is like a chess match at 35 mph,” race promoter Andy Burns said. “You have to constantly evaluate what kind of move you should make and when — all while going at top speed. “I tell people, imagine holding your breath for three minutes and doing your multiplication tables in your head,” he said. “It’s like that.” The Grandview course is particularly challenging for cyclists because of its hills, Burns said. “That’s what makes our course so iconic,” he said. “It’s so much more challenging than your typical flat criterium course.” The turn at Goodale Boulevard and Urlin Avenue is a particularly exciting part of the course, because it comes at the bottom of the steep hill, Burns said. “And these guys don’t slow up, they go full bore around that turn,” he said. The cyclists will make the turn three abreast, Burns said. “There’s no way you can do that without coming in contact with the other riders,” he said. “It’s an

amazing thing. It can be really risky, but they do it.” The city has made some minor improvements to that area of the roadway this week which will help the cyclists, Burns said. “There were some imperfections that made the road pretty sketchy at that turn,” he said. “It wasn’t a big deal for cars, but for bicycles going 35 mph, it was a big deal.” Defending Tour de Grandview Criterium champion Andy Crater will return this year, but he will be racing for a different team, Burns said. This year, Crater is a member of the Aerocat Cycling Team. He will be competing against See CLASSIC, page A2
More than 50 apply for Library offering laptop athletics director job computers for checkout By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Grandview Heights City School District received resumes from more than 50 applicants for the athletics director position. Resumes were due by 4 p.m. June 20, Superintendent Ed O’Reilly said. The district is conducting a search to replace Kathy Kinnard, who is retiring July 31 after 35 years in the district, including the last 17 as athletics director. Approximately half of the applicants who sent in resumes do not meet the qualifications the district posted for the position and so will not move past the initial paper screening, O’Reilly said. The slate of qualified candidates is impressive, he said, and includes persons now working as

O’Reilly said the paper screening of the applications has taken place and he will be conducting preliminary interviews with those candidates who meet the qualifications the district requires.

finalists next week, he said. A recommendation for hiring will likely be made at a special board meeting on July 6, O’Reilly said. “We want to move through this process as quickly as possible,” he said. Prospective candidates for the position should have an administrative license, successful coaching experience and experience running a grade 7-12 athletic program, O’Reilly said. The quality of the applicants for the athletics director position does not surprise him, he said. “No matter what position we post, we always get a strong group of applicants,” O’Reilly said. “We have a quality district with strong community support and a great group of students.” For the full list of applicants, go to www.thisweeknews.com.

Add laptop computers to the list of items patrons can now check out from the Grandview Heights Public Library. The library has purchased 10 laptops that are available for patrons to use inside the library. And while they can be checked out, laptops must be used within the library. The computers were purchased using grant money from Connect Ohio, a federally funded program with a mission to provide more people with access to broadband computers, said Rebecca Felkner, the Grandview Library’s assistant director. “When we heard the grant money was available for libraries, we immediately decided to put in an application,” Felkner said. Patrons can check out the computers from the library’s reference desk. The laptops are available on a first-come, firstserved basis and there is currently no time limit

on usage, although the computers must be turned in 30 minutes before closing time, Felkner said. That policy may change depending on how many people start checking them out, she said. Patrons sign up to use the library’s 31 desktop computers and when a queue starts forming, time limits are placed on those using the devices, Felkner said. “We may find we have to go to a similar policy for the laptops if enough people want to use them,” she said. Patrons must be 18 or older and have a Grandview library card in good standing and a valid state-issued ID to check out a computer, Felkner said. The computers must be used in the library, she said. Leaving the premises with a laptop will be considered theft. “We have wireless throughout the library so you can go anywhere in the library to use them,” Felkner said. “It gives our patrons mobility.

But she has most enjoyed working at the high school, she said. “The high school students are so wonderful,” Klingensmith said. “They’ve always been so nice and well-behaved, and they have a great sense of humor at that age.” Because Grandview is so small, she has had a chance to get to know most of the students, especially during their senior year. “I work with the senior class with graduation each year,” Klingensmith said. “It’s always so emotional watching them graduate.” Her job often has involved being more than just a school secretary, she said. “Sometimes there’s a little bit of being sort of a mother figure for the kids,” Klingensmith said. “Sometimes you can be there to help them with a problem they may be having.” Grandview is a special district, she said. “It’s the closeness you feel to the staff and the students,” Klingensmith said. “It’s like one big family.” Over the past 21 years, she has worked under six principals. But the most rewarding part of her job has been the students, Klingensmith said. “Watching them grow up and interacting with them, I’ll miss that,” she said.
former teammate Dan Campbell of the Panther team. Last year, Crater just edged out Campbell for the championship. “There’ll be a bit of a grudge match going on there,” Burns said. The criterium cycling schedule will get under way with a juniors race at 11:45 a.m. Sunday. Other races will include the Mens Category 4 at 12:20 p.m.; the Womens Open and 3/4 at 1:10 p.m.; celebrity races at 2 p.m.; Mens Pro 1-2 at 2:30 p.m.; Kid Sprints at 4:15 p.m.; Mens Category 3 at 4:30 p.m.; and Mens Category 5 at 5:30 p.m. The Tour de Grandview is again partnering with two Cincinnati area races — the Madeira Centennial Criterium on Friday and
the Hyde Park Blast Criterium on Saturday — for a weekend of competition for the professional cyclists. The participants in the Men’s Pro 1-2 category will be competing for a special prize of $2,000 for having the best combined finishes in the three races, Burns said. The Grandview street party held usually on Saturday night will be held on race day this year on First Avenue. “It will be great to have both the street party and the race on the same day,” Burns said. “I think before you sometimes had to make a choice of whether to come to the party or the race. Now you can enjoy both events at the same time.” afroman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
RATING Continued from page A1 The performance index score is determined by assigning a point total for each of the five performance levels on state achievement tests, with a maximum possible score of 120. The AYP data indicates a district’s success in meeting a federal mandate for the performance
of special needs students and other subgroups, as well as all students. The results for these measures is not expected until August, O’Reilly said. Meeting those additional standards would boost the district’s rating on the state report card to excellent with distinction, a standard Grandview has reached the last few years.

In brief Mingo plans meetings on reappraisal process Franklin County auditor Clarence Mingo will host three town-hall meetings to discuss the 2011 reappraisal and its impact on taxpayers in the coming weeks at library locations throughout the county. These meetings will be held: • Tuesday, June 28, at the Westerville Public Library
• Thursday, June 30, at the Upper Arlington Public Library • Wednesday, July 6 at the Columbus Metropolitan Library Each town-hall meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.; a questionand-answer session to follow. The Ohio Revised Code Section 5713.01(B) requires that each county auditor revalue all real property once in each sixyear period and update those values in the third year follow-
ing each reappraisal. The 2011 reappraisal represents that sixyear period. The taxes based on the new values will be payable in 2012. Each property owner in the county will receive a letter from Mingo in August informing them of the new tentative value of their home or business property.

The Camp Fire Girls organization was founded in 1910 by Luther Gulick, M.D., and his wife, Charlotte Gulick, as the first non-sectarian organization for girls in the United States. By 1916, the Grandview Sciole Chapter (for Scioto and Olentangy) had 23 members. This photograph shows a Campfire Ceremonial at Camp Lazarus in 1941. None of the participants are identified. The girls are equally divided between those wearing middy blouses and those wearing Native American regalia, and greenery has been hung across the room and lit candles are on the floor. The organization became co-ed in 1975. The GHMCHS would appreciate hearing from former campfire members about their experiences in the Sciole Chapter.

Generations enjoy amenities of life in Grandview Heights To the editor: June 5, 2011. Another hot June afternoon in Grandview Heights High School auditorium (now thankfully air-conditioned). Another commencement ceremony. Another smiling graduate parading down the aisle as we eagerly await her arrival, cameras carefully focused. But wait — this scene is a little different from the ones that came before. Our granddaughter is on crutches (result of recent knee surgery), but she is right in step with her class, her special smile lighting up her face. I was aware of nostalgia for all the years gone by mixed with feelings of deep gratitude for the many blessings of those years. Sixty-five years ago, on the hot day of June 4, 1946, I walked down that aisle. Since then, my brothers and sister took the same walk, as did all four of our children and five of our grandchildren. Two more grandchildren to go. This year of 2011 will see my 65th class reunion, on Aug. 13, if all goes as planned. This is really hard to believe. How many times my husband has reminded me of my statement in 1969: “We need to move back to Grandview. I want to know who our children are in school with. I want to be close to the library and to live in a place where the swimming pool and stores are within walking or biking distance.” George was shocked at my words. We lived in Columbus in a very nice, 10-year-old brick ranch house that had been recently enlarged to accommodate our growing family. Our street was pleasant, our neighbors com-
patible, although some of the original families had moved away, and I felt a transitional movement in the area. Our oldest daughter had begun junior high school two years before and took a bus and stayed for lunch, Busing for Columbus schools was on the horizon. And so, the summer of 1970 found us moving into our newly remodeled and enlarged home in Grandview, and we have never looked back. Grandview is not perfect, but it is a little treasure of a city, even with the high taxes. The schools are excellent and all our descendants have benefited. The children have enjoyed much the same kind of childhood that George and I remember. And they have gone to a small school.
Much as they are glad to get away after graduation (I remember that feeling of being out of high school, with its cliques and gossip). many graduate end up coming back to Grandview to raise their families — just as we did. The graduation ceremony of 2011 was fun, inspiring and impressive. Larry Larson, former teacher, football coach and athletics director and long-time elementary camp director, was the featured speaker and he gave his usual fiery presentation. Our granddaughter did well in her class and we were proud. And grateful we could witness another graduation in that high school auditorium. Nancy Connor Walter Grandview Heights

Peters: Bobcats ‘looking for leadership’ By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
As Jason Peters works toward his fifth season as coach of the Grandview Heights High School football team, he hopes his seniors learned much from the leadership displayed by the Bobcats’ 2011 graduates. Last season, Grandview finished 64 overall and went 4-3 in the MSLCardinal Division to tie Harvest Prep and Liberty Union for third, behind champion West Jefferson (10-0).
“We’re looking for leadership,” Peters said. “We had a great senior class last year and it was the first class that I had in my four years here. We had a bunch of great kids and they will be missed.” Among the graduates was offensive lineman Dan Satterthwaite, who was named first-team all-district in Division V and MSL-Cardinal Lineman of the Year. Other key losses included Nate Webb (TE/LB, first-team all-league and alldistrict), Ryan Schofield (OL/DL, sec-

ond-team all-league and all-district), Alex Minnillo (WR/DB, second-team all-league and special mention all-district) and Colin Ridgeway (LB, honorable mention all-district). This offseason Peters has been
working to get his team in shape for the 2011 season, both mentality and physically. “We need to get stronger and develop some leadership, and we have done some of both,” he said. “We have started to see leadership this summer and I think we’re headed in the right direction.” Senior Oliver Rouch is expected to return at quarterback after completing 33 of 55 passes for 476 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions. He also ran for 629 yards and six
touchdowns on 72 carries and was named first-team all-league and second-team all-district as a defensive back. “As a quarterback, I felt like I had a leadership role last year, but now this is our year as seniors,” Rouch said. “We have high expectations of winning the league and going to the playoffs. We want to have one of the best seasons we have ever had at Grandview.” See BOBCATS, page B2

Cap City Senior Bowl
East all-stars hold on for win over West By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
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 mid-
field 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 NorthSouth 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 quar-
terback Sheldon Akin (Mesabi Range Community & Technical College) with 1 minute, 36 seconds left in the first half to give the East a 14-0 lead. See CAP CITY, page B2
Club Soccer
Local teams preparing for Midwest Regional event 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 boys team won a Regional Cup 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 Satur-
day 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 U-14 through U-19 age groups will advance to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 2731 in Phoenix. 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 See OVERVIEW, page B2

Commentary
Students learn to balance schoolwork with athletics
By Chris Parker/ThisWeek
Goalkeeper J.P. Baughman warms up with coach Mike Lentz during a Classics Eagles U-13 practice on June 17. The Eagles are one of nine area boys and girls teams gearing up for the Midwest Regional Cup, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis.
OVERVIEW Continued from page B1 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 appear-
ance 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
CAP CITY Continued from page B1 The East also scored on its opening drive. Westerville South’s Jayshon Jackson (Grand Rapids Community College), the district’s Division I Offensive Player of the Year, capped the drive with a 2-yard 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 Cap City game began as the City League All-Star game in 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 Mid-State 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.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
The high school athletes participating in my summer series also stand out in the classroom. In the second week of the series, the studentathletes talk about how they balance practices and games with studying to keep their grades at a high level. Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “School always comes first and keeping your grades up is way more important than any sporting event.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “To balance practice and games with studying, you have to be dedicated to both things. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices in order to accomplish excellence in both.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “I make sure to study and do homework directly after coming home from practice. This way I am not as tired as I would be later and I will be motivated to do work.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Seeing that practice only lasts a few hours of my afternoon, I always dedicate the rest of my time to the work that needs to be done for class. If I am well organized and can stick to a schedule that works best for me, it helps ensure that my academic and athletic priorities are also balanced.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I make sure that I finish all my work before I go on with my day. I will normally have practice directly after school and I try to get my work done first thing after practice.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I know that schoolwork must come first and I need to attend to my studies first and attack that before I
get out on the golf course or range. I either immediately practice first and then study or the other way around. I dedicate myself to academics and athletics and dedication is the key word.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and LARRY wrestling: “Sometimes before LARSON practice I can get some schoolwork done. If I don’t have time before school is out, I need to focus on practice and then get the rest of my work done.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Although golf takes up a lot of my time, academics have always been a priority to me. My time at school is committed to getting my work done.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “In order to keep up my academics with games and practices, I sacrifice the other aspects of my life, including my social side. There are some very late nights and very early mornings as a result of my busy schedule. I make difficult sacrifices, but I certainly enjoy the end result of my choices.” Next week, the student-athletes will follow up this topic by talking about the importance of having a good academic record.

Peters said Franks and Rouch are taking on leadership roles along with senior two-way linemen Joe Anderson and Carter Jump and senior offensive lineman and linebacker Will Heydinger. “We have been doing little things like talking to kids and putting them in roles so they can learn responsibility for themselves and their teammates,” Peters said. “We tell them what we expect of them and what we need from them. Our seniors have really stepped it up in the offseason where last year’s seniors left off and they want to take us to a new level.”

The Bobcats last made the postseason in 2005, when they finished 9-2 after losing to Lucasville Valley 21-14 in the opening round of the Division V playoffs. Rouch said the team has spent the offseason working in the weight room and bonding during open workouts. “We have been lifting three days a week and have some open fields a couple of times a week,” he said. “We have been having 20 to 25 guys there for open fields. We will run some routes and play a pickup game and have some fun.

Big 33 Football Classic
Davidson’s Heitzman helps lead Ohio to win By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Ohio’s domination in the Big 33 Football Classic in Hershey, Pa., on June 18 had a local flavor. Ohio rolled to a 50-14 win over the Pennsylvania all-stars, amassing 432 yards in total offense. The 54th game of the series featured five players from central Ohio. Led by defensive end Keith Heitzman of Hilliard Davidson, the Ohio defense allowed 243 yards, including minus-8 yards rushing. Heitzman, who also played fullback and on special teams, capped the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown run with 3 minutes, 47 seconds remaining. “It was a ton of fun,” Heitzman said. “Our defense came out strong and was able to get pressure on them right away. We forced them to make some mistakes.” Heitzman helped set the tone early as his pressure on Pennsylvania quarterback Matt Johnson led to Gabe Gilbert’s interception on the game’s first possession. Heitzman sacked Johnson in the second quarter, leading to a Pennsylvania punt from its end zone. “Playing against the best I’m hoping will prepare me a little bit more for what’s to come at (the University of) Michigan,” Heitzman said. Heitzman was joined by Davidson teammate J.D. Detmer, who handled the kicking and punting duties.
Detmer, who will play at the University of Toledo, converted six extra points and punted once for 38 yards. He missed on field-goal attempts of 46 and 28 yards in the first quarter. Hartley’s Noah Key, who rushed for 2,885 yards and 42 touchdowns on 338 carries last fall to share the Division IV state Offensive Player of the Year award with Kenton quarterback Maty Mauk, played in the secondary for Ohio. “This was a real honor,” said Key, who will join Detmer at Toledo. “You get to see all the guys you see in the paper every week with your name. You get a chance to meet these guys, and I will be playing against a lot of these guys in college. There (were) actually seven of us on the team from Toledo, so we’re building that early bond.” Key led Hartley to the Division IV state title last season with a 34-13 win over Chagrin Falls in the championship game. Hawks coach Brad Burchfield said playing in the Big 33 game was a tremendous opportunity for Key and the Hartley program. “I know obviously the history of the Big 33 and how prestigious it is to have players selected to play in that game,” Burchfield said. It was sort of a homecoming for Worthington Kilbourne’s Matt Skura, who grew up in Fox Chapel, Pa., and began attending Kilbourne as a sophomore. “Playing against the best competition in Pennsylvania and even the best competition in the nation, it was a great way for me to end my high school ca-
reer and start my college one as well,” Skura said. Skura, who will play at Duke University, saw time at center, guard and tackle in the Big 33 game. “He’s been a tremendous leader, setting the example for the kids on the way things should be done,” Kilbourne coach Vince Trombetti said. “He’s never taken a day off. He’s done a great job representing our program.” Westerville Central graduate Nick Vannett, who will play at Ohio State, saw time at tight end and wide receiver in the Big 33 game. “I’m proud of Nick, not only because of his accomplishments on the field, but also I’ve had people tell me what a class act, what a gentleman he is, and to me that’s just as important if not more important than his football abilities,” Central coach John Magistro said. University of Cincinnati recruit Akise Teague had three touchdowns and 168 total yards, and was named the Ohio team’s MVP. Teague was voted Ohio’s Mr. Football last fall, leading Youngstown Ursuline to its third consecutive Division V state championship with a 51-21 win over Coldwater. The game also featured the Big 33’s longest interception return for a touchdown. Ohio State recruit Doran Grant (Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary) intercepted a Jalen Fitzpatrick pass and returned it 101 yards for a 28-7 lead in the second quarter. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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-

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.

Figs Café & Bakery is now a catering outfit. The Northwest Side restaurant, specializing in international cuisines, just didn’t get the anticipated foot traffic, so walk-in dining is no longer accepted, owner Florence Isatu Gbaya said. Figs is at 5230 Bethel Center Mall. For more information, call (614) 556-9385.

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 web-
sites. Be careful in stores to protect your wallet, purse and credit cards and watch to be sure store GABRIELLE personnel hanyour WHITTAKER dle 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 account statements to be sure it is accurate. Signs that indicate your identity has been stolen include unauthorized charges on your creditcard statement or on your checking account; unauthorized transfers or withdrawals on your bank 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 creditreporting 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. Gabrielle Whittaker is an officer and financial center manager with Fifth Third Bank. She welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions. She can be reached at (614) 8343026 or Gabrielle.Whittaker@ 53.com.
