Ohio Department of Education report card
Bexley schools earn highest rating By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
According to preliminary results, the Bexley City School District has earned top honors on the Ohio Department of Education’s annual report card for 2010-11. Bexley City Schools met all of the state indicators for the school year. All of the district’s five
schools received an “Excellent” rating and a performance indicator greater than 100. Final results on the ODE report card are expected to be released in the Fall. The Performance Index is based on the average of all students’test scores in the district; if every student scored at the advanced level, the Performance Index would be 120. The overall district state indicator was 105.8,
higher than the past two years, according to Anne Hyland, the district’s director of curriculum and instruction. “Some 92 percent of Bexley students are scoring at proficient or better on these state assessments,” Hyland said. Last year, 90.1 percent of students were at this level. Even more impressive, 67.2 percent of the district’s students scored at the two highest achieve-
ment levels — accelerated and advanced, compared to 62.9 percent who scored at those levels last year. The results are expected to help Bexley Schools maintain elite status. The district should achieve an “Excellent with Distinction” rating for the 11th year in a row. Hyland said staff members “make this a great place for students to be engaged in enticing and thought-provoking learning activities each day.”

(From left) Columbus School for Girls’ Allyson Coble, 14, and Lauren Gerber, 17, work together to drive their robot during the second annual Connect a Million Minds Robotics Invitational at South High School on June 25. For the past 10 years, high school students from the Columbus School for Girls (CSG) have teamed up with engineering students from The Ohio State University (OSU) to design and build a competition robot. They spend their winter evenings and weekends working toward the final goal of competing in the FIRST Robotics competition, one that includes 49 regional events and one national event, involving over 2,000 other high-school teams. The FIRST program brings together the nation’s leading companies and universities in a united effort to introduce young minds to the wonders of science, technology and engineering. During a six-week “Build Season” in January and February, the high school girls and their engineering student mentors work together to completely design, build, test, and ship the robot. The team then travels to one or two competitions where the autonomous and remote-controlled robot competes against other teams from around the world.

As the city of Bexley struggles to find a solution to its pending budget crisis, Police Chief Larry Rinehart says the dollars invested in his department are paying dividends to the community. City council is considering using a combination of an increase in the city income tax and reductions in operating expenses to balance the city’s budget over the next five years. Rinehart says if cuts are made in the police budget, he fears increased crime would result. “One of my concerns in this current budget discussion is that if we cut proactive police patrol and/or reduce our aggressive investigation of misdemeanor crime,
we will ultimately see an increase in violent crime,” Rinehart said. “In other words, when Larry Rinehart we quit addressing the smaller issues as well, the larger, more violent issues increase. I believe that trend has been proven across the country time and time again.” Rinehart said he is concerned that some think the city police budget can be trimmed. “Unfortunately some believe that the dollars saved by reducing patrol officers and/or detectives far outweighs the reduction See BUDGET, page A2

Youth helping with Montrose garden this summer Jennifer Tipple, a Montrose Elementary School parent, has recruited some young helpers for the Bexley Community Garden this summer. The PTO volunteer has been instrumental in establishing Montrose’s PTO Sharing Garden in the Community Garden plot off of East Livingston

in police service,” Rinehart said. “I believe any reduction in police service to this community could create disastrous results, including an increase in violent crime — the type of violent crime that often surrounds this little island, but is held at bay by the highly visible police patrol of our well-trained, professional, dedicated police force.” Rinehart said violent crime is not a major issue in Bexley today. “Fortunately, I believe that due to our aggressive, proactive patrol philosophy (keep the cars moving and the offices vigilant for the highest visibility possible) we do not see a lot of violent crime. We see large amounts of petty crime, but by addressing that as aggressively as possible, I believe we discourage violent criminals from coming here.” However, Rinehart said, the past year has been a busy one for Bexley police officers. “In 2010, our little police department in this 2.5-square-mile city responded to almost 12,000 calls for service, took 821 police reports, 265 traffic crash reports, arrested 486 people, filed 643 criminal charges, and investigated 101 reports of burglary and breaking and entering,” Rinehart said. “We did all this while focusing on aggressive, proactive police patrol and by putting over 200,000 miles on our police vehicles. These numbers do not show any significant decline in
A closer look According to the FBI’s Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Report, the nation experienced a 5.5-percent decrease in the number of violent crimes and a 2.8-percent decline in the number of property crimes in 2010 when compared with data from 2009.
our community’s need for police service.” According to the FBI’s Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Report, the nation experienced a 5.5-percent decrease in the number of violent crimes and a 2.8percent decline in the number of property crimes in 2010 when compared with data from 2009. “Of the four violent crime offense categories listed (murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault), in 2010 we investigated two felonious assaults, two aggravated assaults, and seven robberies,” Rinehart said. “It is typical for us to investigate a small number of rapes in any given year, but we did not have any reported incidents of rape in 2010. Periodically we investigate a murder, but not every year and none in 2010. We do normally see some cases of robbery, and aggravated assault each year. Again, these low numbers are due to an aggressive police presence in our city.”

As it were
July 4, 1911, was deadly hot, but ‘safe and sane’ It was a very hot day. July 4, 1911, in Columbus was the hottest Fourth of July since records had begun to be regularly kept in 1878. In fact, it only missed being the hottest day on record by three-tenths of one degree. The temperature peaked in the afternoon at 103.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and some said it was even hotter in some of the more densely populated parts of the city. In a time ED when air conLENTZ ditioning in its modern form did not exist and when electric fans were a luxury only the affluent could afford, heat like this could be — and often was — deadly. William Theis, a 34-year-old barber, walked into a cafe owned by one A. J. Flowers on Russell Street in the Short North. He asked for a glass of water and drank it down. He then dropped dead of heart failure. Mary Gallagher, 74, of Starr Avenue, distraught over a recent death in the family, died of heat prostration on the morning of the holiday. And on the afternoon of the Fourth, Edward Daggett, 16, went for a swim in the Scioto River near the downtown bridges with two friends to escape the heat. The river in those days was rather polluted as it passed through the city, but the young man was used to that. What killed him was the cramp that seized him when he hit the cooler water away from the sweltering shore. His drowned body was found the next day. But with only three deaths, Columbus was more fortunate than some other American cities caught in the same lengthy heat wave. Twenty-seven people died from the heat in Chicago that July 4 and 25 people died in New York. In the major cities of America, more than 134 people died of heat-related causes on Independence Day. So what exactly did people do on a holiday as warm as this one? Actually, they did quite a bit. With virtually every major business, factory, school and government office closed for the day, many people tried to get out of town and celebrate the Fourth where it might be a bit cooler. More than 500 people took the train to Buckeye Lake, where the resort town welcomed them for an old-fashioned celebration of fireworks and fun. Others took the train to Glen Mary on the North Side where Camp Mary Orton is located today, and some traveled from Columbus to Greenwood Lake in Delaware for a quiet day in the country. But most people spent the day close to home. In Columbus in recent years, we have come to expect large public celebrations like Red White and Boom!, with its small, intimate crowd of 500,000, as well as neighborhood fireworks shows on the Fourth of July. But such was not the case a century ago. If anything, Colum-

bus was deeply distrustful of fireworks in 1911. For most of the previous generation, fireworks and ordnance had been available to anybody with the money to buy them. In the years after the Civil War, it was not uncommon for a militia company to fire a salute of rifle and cannon fire on the Fourth — with live ammunition. Workers at factories often set off a quarter keg of black powder, making sure to duck to avoid flying pieces of wood. And children had all sorts of fun setting off all sorts of fireworks — and blowing off all sorts of fingers, toes and facial features in the process. By the turn of the century, many people had come to believe that enough was enough. Spearheaded by the formidable lobbying power of the Daughters of the American Revolution, many cities began to try to celebrate what had come to be called a “Safe and Sane” Fourth of July. A safe and sane Fourth was one in which the only fireworks were set off by professionals. 1910 was the first year for a “Safe and Sane” Fourth in the city, and all in all, it went pretty well; 1911 was even better. In retrospect, some people argued that the young people of Columbus were finally coming to their senses and had learned not blow themselves up. Others simply concluded that it was so incredibly hot that no one had any energy to be mischievous. The real reason was probably somewhere in between. While the safety record of the city with fireworks for July 4 was admirable, a large number of people were out and about, even in the awful heat. Olentangy Park,
the largest amusement park in the city, was located along the Olentangy River, north of the Ohio State University campus. On the Fourth of July, admission was free. For most of the day, the place was packed. And at night, many people stayed for fireworks. Other people spent the day at the Glen Echo Ravine, where the Glen Echo Improvement Association hosted a day of activities and fireworks at night. Others went to a neighborhood celebration hosted by the residents of Ninth Avenue, west of Neil Avenue in the OSU area. But for people living in and near the downtown, the place to be was Statehouse Square. At 2:30 in the afternoon and again 8:30 in the evening, the Battalion Band from Columbus Barracks (later known as Fort Hayes) entertained the public with a concert on the Square. Many people, as they still do today, simply celebrated Independence Day at home. To make the day a little more special, dinner was often served on the porches of the houses or lawns nearby. And after an evening repast, what some would remember more than the fireworks — or the lack thereof — was the large dish of peach ice cream that was served for dessert. Produced in bulk by the Busy Bee restaurant and café in downtown Columbus, the seasonal treat was a “blending of fine ripe Georgia peaches with rich Jersey cream. A quart delivered to your home for the Fourth of July, 50 cents.” It was a pleasant end to warm and memorable day.

Bexley’s Kelley, Mroz, Tomich rated ‘highly effective’ Bexley Middle School gifted specialist Linda Kelley, teacher Natalie Mroz and Bexley High School teacher Neal Tomich have been recognized as “highly effective” teachers based on a valueadded data analysis conducted over two years by Battelle for Kids. In addition to helping school districts and states reform education and improve student learning, Battelle for Kids seeks to honor and acknowledge high quality teaching. Kelley, Mroz and Tomich, as well as retired BMS teacher Peg Englehardt, are among the “very few teachers to have achieved significantly above expected growth with … students for at least three years,” according to Mary Peters, Value-Added Services Director at Battelle for Kids. Bexley City Schools has been using models provided by Battelle for Kids — such as its identifying practices of effective teachers — to fulfill a commitment to the federal government’s “Race to the Top” initiative.

Wrestling
Weight classes adjusted for next season By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers Some area high school wrestling coaches aren’t pleased with the new guidelines for weight classes but realize their teams will need to adapt. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) approved the changes during its meeting April 46 in Indianapolis. Tim Stried, director of information services for the Ohio High School Athletic Association, said the changes will
be in effect for the coming season. It is the first significant change in weight classes in 23 years. The lowest weight class, 103 pounds, is being increased to 106, which resulted in new weights in 10 of the 14 classes. The new weight classes are 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285. Only 145, 152, 160 and 285 remain unchanged. The previous weight classes were 103, 112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215 and 285.
“The NFHS has been studying the weight classes in wrestling for several years to determine which weight classes are most appropriate for today’s student-athletes across the country that will result in fewer classes going unfilled,” Stried said. “These new weight classes are the result of countless hours of data analysis by the NFHS, and Ohio will certainly comply with the new weight classes. Like anything, it will take some time for our member schools to be comfortable with the changes, but we can all appreciate that the NFHS is trying
to do the right thing for kids.” Westerville North coach David Grant is concerned that the increase in the lowest weight to 106 will adversely affect lighter competitors. Grant said his 103-pounder last season, Santino DiSabato, weighed between 85 and 90 pounds, but now is moving closer to 106 in preparation for next season. “I don’t like the weight class changes because it hurts the kids that are little,” Grant said. “I have Santino DiSabato, who had a hard time making 103. Now
they take it to 106, so it hurts the younger kids, the freshmen. You’re going to have a lot of kids not able to be competitive at that weight. They’re too young, too little.” Hilliard Davidson coach Dominic DiSabato, Santino’s uncle, is not in favor of the shift in weight classes. “For our program, I’m not a big fan of it,” he said. “We’ll try to get every weight class filled and then wrestle. It will hurt us in duals. Hopefully, we have See WRESTLING, page B3

Two teams win pools to reach semifinals By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Patrick Ferron/ThisWeek
Crew Juniors U-19’s Ross Friedman, a Bexley native, controls the ball against St. Croix, Minn., during a game of the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup in Fox Cities, Wis. The teams played to a 1-all tie.
In semifinals played June 28, the U-13 team played Eclipse Select and the U-16 team played KCFC Force from Kansas. The finals were held June 29. Regional champions in the U14 through U-19 age groups advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix. The Ohio Premier Eagles’ U18 and U-19 teams each went 21 to finish second in their pools. Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 coach Kevin Dougherty was surprised to see his squad outscore its three pool play opponents 12-1. “It’s pretty unusual to win three games here the way we did because all the teams competing here are very good,” Dougherty said. “The way our U-16 team made it is more typical of this kind of tournament because there isn’t much separating most teams from a win or loss here.” All five local boys teams fell short of qualifying for the semifinals. The Crew Juniors U-19 and Team Ohio F.C. Blast U-18 (1-11 in pool play) each finished second in their pools, and the Classics Eagles U-13 (1-1-1), Team Ohio F.C. Green U-17 (0-1-2) and Team Ohio F.C. Juventus U-16 (1-2) each placed third. Classics Eagles U-13 boys coach Mike Lentz said most teams were just a couple favorable bounces or calls away from winning an extra game to advance. “There’s a lot of parity at this level,” Lentz said. “Looking at our bracket, three of the four teams could have come out on top on any given weekend. We had an untimely call go against us in our first game and it ended up completely changing our destiny for the tournament. If we would have caught a lucky break or two who knows how far we could have made it.”
Only two of the nine central Ohio boys and girls soccer teams competing in the Midwest Regional Cup, held June 25-29 in Fox Cities, Wis., won their fourteam pool to advance to a semifinal. Four of seven local squads reached a semifinal in 2009 and three of eight area teams made it to a semifinal last year. However, Crew Juniors Under19 boys coach Brian Bliss said the decrease in central Ohio pool-play winners probably was because of bad luck and not a lack of talent or effort. Bliss led the Crew Juniors U19 boys squad to regional and national titles last year. This year’s Crew Juniors U-19 boys team, which didn’t retain any of last year’s players, went 1-0-2 to finish second in its pool. “There’s some luck involved in being able to win this tournament, and in our case, it ended up being the bad luck of getting a tough draw,” Bliss said. “This team has as much or more talent than we had last year, but we drew into a tougher group where every game was tough. If we would have drawn into a different group we may have gone on to win this again, but we had to spend a ton of energy in the three games we played here and we didn’t even make it out of our pool. The (blind draw for pool play) is one of the biggest reasons you rarely see a club win this tournament two or three years in a row.” The one local club that did fare well this year was the Ohio Premier Eagles, which advanced two of its four teams to semifinals. The Ohio Premier Eagles’four girls teams combined to go 10-2 in pool play. Its U-13 squad went 3-0 to win its pool and its U-16 team advanced on a tiebreaker by beating Eclipse Select of Illinois ablankenship@thisweeknews.com 1-0 on penalty kicks. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Tapre Young could have several options in terms of her basketball career if things continue in the direction they’ve been going this summer. Now in her third season as a captain on the Columbus Hidden Gems semi-professional team, the 2004 Dublin Scioto High School graduate is one of the top outside shooters in the Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League. At 5-foot-11, Young averages more than 15 points and has been shooting better than 50 percent from 3-point range. That combination could make her an attractive possibility for overseas teams looking for players for their seasons, which begin in the fall. “I haven’t played anywhere

Any time you can get paid for what you do, it’s a good thing.” If Young is unable to land a professional contract, she has an offer to serve as an assistant coach for the Talladega (Ala.)

Richardson focuses on success off field By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers While many football camps stress Xs and Os, the Jay Richardson Camp at Dublin Scioto High School focused on life skills. The second annual camp, which was held June 24-25, was open to boys ages 11-18. Richardson, a defensive end for the Seattle Seahawks who played at Ohio State and graduated from Scioto in 2002, said he was thrilled that he could hold the camp at his alma mater. The theme of the camp was “There is more to sports than the game,” and Richardson said he was eager to share that message. “This means a lot,” Richardson said. “It’s awesome that the high school was with me on this to get all these kids in here. It’s awesome that we can get the kids educated on what their options are and their future outside of their sport.” Forty-seven boys attended last year’s inaugural camp at American Methodist Episcopal Church on North Hamilton Road in Columbus. There were 104 at this year’s camp at Scioto. “We’re telling the kids there’s more to sports than the game and if you don’t learn the stuff that’s really important then football doesn’t matter and soccer doesn’t matter,” said Deborah Johnson, a coordinator of the event and Richardson’s mother. “Sports won’t matter if you’re not doing the right
ter stuff and try to do the right thing,” he said. Sam Tickle, who served 11 years in the U.S. Navy, began the camp by sharing stories and a video on his completion of 30 sports in 30 cities in 30 days. Tickle’s presentation, part of the EAS Unstoppable Tour, focused on proper sports nutrition and setting and achieving goals. “The one thing that I wanted to push is your brain gives up before your body gives up,” Tickle said. “You can push yourself a lot further when you just set your mind to it. If you’re able to train your brain to realize that pain is just temporary and that if you focus on a goal, your body will perform the way it needs to.” Current and former members of the Ohio State football program also shared their experiences. That group included Taylor Rice, a 2008 Scioto graduate and junior defensive back with the Buckeyes. The camp also featured NFL players including Mike Mitchell, a safety with Oakland and a former teammate of Richardson, who was drafted by the Raiders in 2007. “The one message that I want kids to By Chris Parker/ThisWeek take away from this camp is never unFormer Dublin Scioto and Ohio State standout Jay Richardson speaks with those attending his camp June 24 at Scioto. derestimate yourself and know your options,” Richardson said. “You can do anyThe camp was for boys ages 11-18 and focused on teaching life skills. thing you want to do, but you have to thing, if you’re not a gentleman and if Those messages were conveyed by sixth grade at Tree of Life, said he learned know what to do.” you don’t have good grades, so we’re guest speakers who included area court, a lot from the presentations. teaching them how to do those other police and military officials. “I like the way they’re talking, like fdirenna@thisweeknews.com things right.” Michael Carter, who will be entering mentors and the way you have to do bet- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Buckeye Elite event to attract more than 200 teams By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
About 210 teams from 15 states and Canada are scheduled to play in the eighth annual Buckeye Elite Showcase Tournament that will be held Wednesday, July 6, through July 10 in central Ohio. The tournament is divided into four divisions: Under-14, U-15, U-16 and U18. More than 40 area high school and college fields will play host to games, said Jeff Dutiel, the chief financial officer for the tournament. The event begins with a skills showcase on July 6 at Dublin Coffman, where athletes will test their abilities in front of college coaches and pro scouts. Worthington-based Big League Baseball School will conduct the invitation-only event.
“Our biggest thing is to get the kids looks for colleges,” Dutiel said. The competition also will feature a Buckeye Elite Night on July 8 at Huntington Park. Before the Columbus Clippers’game against the Toledo Mud Hens, the teams in the tournament will parade onto the field and players will participate in onfield contests. Players also will have a chance to be honorary bat boys and throw out the first pitch. In tournament play, each division will be divided into pools: 20 four-team pools in U-18, 16 four-team pools in U-16, 14 three-team pools in U-15 and four fiveteam pools in U-14. In U-18, the winner of each pool will advance to gold championship singleelimination play, leading up to the gold
championship game on July 10 at Huntington Park. The second-place team in each pool will compete in silver championship play, with the title game to be played at Olentangy High School on July 10. In U-16, the gold championship game will be at Huntington Park and the silver championship game will be at Dublin Coffman on July 10. In U-15, the gold and silver championship games will be at Dublin Jerome on July 10. In U-14, the gold and silver championship games will be at Don Edwards Park in Newark on July 9. Each team that does not qualify for gold or silver championship play will compete in a consolation game on July 9. The Ohio Elite baseball program is expected to field teams in the U-14, U-15
and U-18 divisions. Dublin Jerome coach Chris Huesman will guide his U-17 team in the U-18 division. “The Under-17 is the most critical time for a high school player in summer ball because that’s where all the college coaches are,” Huesman said. “All the college coaches are recruiting for their 2012 class and this is the most important time for these kids, so you want to take them to all the showcases or tournaments that will have the most exposure, and Buckeye Elite is one of those.” The Columbus Cobras program will enter teams in the U-14 and U-18 divisions. Harry Huskey will coach the U18 team, which won the event in 2009. “The caliber of this tournament is really good,” Huskey said. “There are teams from all over the Midwest. We use this
tournament to see where we’re at before we head off to the World Series.” Grove City coach Ryan Alexander said competing in summer tournaments are key to the program’s success. He led the Greyhounds to a Division I state semifinal this spring, losing to Liberty Township Lakota East 7-2 on June 2 at Huntington Park. Grove City will have teams in the U16 and U-18 divisions. “This is a tournament that has some of the best teams in the state and best teams in the nation,”Alexander said. “It’s a great summer tournament. These kids end up seeing a lot of the same guys that they’ve seen already all year long playing on these summer travel teams.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Everyone got along so well.” The Columbus team went 3-0 in the tournament. It defeated Cincinnati Gold 6-4 and Dayton 9-1 on June 18 to place first in the top division, and it also defeated Cincinnati Silver 9-1 on June 19. Each match consisted of 10 courts — two boys singles matches, two girls singles matches, two boys doubles matches, two girls doubles matches and two mixed doubles matches. The boys roster featured Watterson’s Aaron Casares, Jerome’s Kent Seitz, Gahanna’s Canyon Teague and Upper Arlington’s Eric Vannatta and Nate Wallace.

WRESTLING Continued from page B1 a couple bigger kids coming out for the team next year and it won’t hurt us as bad as it could have in the past. We just have to have our wrestlers wrestle the best they can. The other schools are in the same position we are.” Marysville coach Shawn Andrews said his program will adapt to the new guidelines, and he believes the changes actually might help his team next season. Andrews said he expects the lower weights to be a strength of his program. “Looking at it selfishly for a year or two, it helps Marysville specifically because it’s where we have more guys than less guys, but in the broad scope of wrestling, it seems a little odd that they took away a weight class from some of the weight classes that are most

It’s a chance to showcase your talents.” After getting off to a 2-0 start, the Hidden Gems were 3-4 after losing to the Cleveland Crush 84-74 on June 25. On Saturday, July 2, Columbus will play host to the Oakland-Macomb Run from Oakland, Mich., in a Northeast Division game. The Hidden Gems lost to the Run 87-67 on June 5 but won a rematch 97-85 on June 12. The Hidden Gems play their home games at Lazelle Woods Recreation Center in north Columbus near Worthington.

Columbus has three games remaining in the regular season before competing in the regional tournament in late July in Flint, Mich. The national tournament will be held Aug. 6-7 in Atlanta. Poindexter will begin her third season this winter as the girls basketball coach at Walnut Ridge. “I think everything is going OK,” said Poindexter, who is averaging 14 points and five assists. “We’re a whole new team really and we’ve just got to work together better. We’re better than the teams that have beaten us. We don’t have any superstars this year. Our team has a whole lot of heart and we just have to keep our team chemistry.

The only other changes since then were in 2002, when the number of classes went from 13 to 14 and the 215-pound weight class became mandatory, and in 2006, when the 275-pound class was increased to 285. The NFHS also adopted a rule change involving the figure four hold around the head, which now is illegal. Previously, the figure four was illegal around the body or both legs. “I like the new rule, it will work out,” Grant said. “The figure four www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

FAB 5
Propelled by the 2009 hit song Fire5 flies from the album Ocean Eyes, Adam Young, the braintrust of Owl City, went literally from making processed beats and loops in his parents’ basement to pop music stardom in a few short years. His music career in a whole new stratosphere, Young has returned with a new record titled All Things Bright and Beautiful, and a subsequent tour, which stops at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion on Friday, July 1. Tickets are $25/$28; call 1-800-745-3000. Young was kind enough to answer a few questions posed by The Beat.

Adam Young: Never! I’m an only child from a small town in Minnesota and I was loading trucks for Coca-Cola in a sweaty warehouse two years ago. The music thing started happening and really caught me off guard. I still can’t even believe what’s going on. I remember the moment my manager called me and said one of my tracks when to No. 1 in 24 countries around the world and I almost had a heart attack.

Cabo Cocina offers good food, drinks and views Sitting up amid the treetops and watching the evening sun spend its last light on the lazily lapping ripples of the Scioto River was lulling me into a trance. Or perhaps it was the 20-ounce margaritas. Either way, perching on the aerie-like wooden deck at Cabo Cocina was proving to be an inspired idea. In fact, the groovy mood I was enjoying was so relaxing that I didn’t even mind the background reggae-tinged music Cabo plays. Owned by the Historic Dublin Restaurant Group (of the Brazenheads, Oscar’s and Tucci’s fame), Cabo sits like a roomy stone lodge high above the banks of the Scioto near Dublin. And, as I implied, its comfy patio affords some fairly spectacular riparian views. But restaurant reviewers cannot live on setting alone. Therefore, it’s fortunate that Cabo’s food is pretty fun, too. First, though, there shall be hooch. While the fuzzy-making fishbowl-sized house margaritas I alluded to (they also come in 12-ounce versions) are above

by G.A. Benton average, they’re a bit sweet for my palate. My favorite tequila slurp here was an upgrade found on the “Fancy” list — the tighter, brighter and more lime-powered La Classica ($10/$14). Foodwise (chips and an interesting salsa bar are on the house), the slightly spicy Shrimp Tostadas appetizer ($8) delivered the double crunch of deepfried shellfish nachos. Its side players were a cilantro aioli with bits of blue cheese; a warm, smoky and chunky salsa; and a nifty jicama salad. At least as good were the unique Sweet Plantains ($6.50). These were slathered in a spicy, sweet and smoky barbecue type sauce and served with jalapeno pesto plus a cooling-off yogurt dip. As for entrees, Cabo’s got tacos, bur-

ritos, fajitas, et al., but — against type — I preferred the fusion-y, MexiCaribbean stuff from the “Cabo Specialties” section. Among these, the Adobo Pork Mojados ($12.50) were pretty good: big chunks of tender and fatty pig en-
robed in a fruity, red mole-type sauce. These came with excellent beer- and onion-flavored whole “borracho” beans. I got those same neat frijoles, along with cheesy rice, to accompany the recommended Jerk Chicken relleno
($10.50). Served open-faced, the relleno featured charred peppers, tender meat and fruity accents. For more of a showstopper, though, target the Spicy and Crunchy Tilapia ($15). It’s a pretty plate rimmed with a tangy, creamy and smoky tomato sauce and starring darkly crusted, lightly panfried fish. The successful collision of flavors also includes dense, (sometimes) bacon-y smashed plantains, a scorchedcorn salsa and more of that jalapeno aioli. This tilapia’s so good you’ll remember enjoying it even if you later float off into a little summertime trance. I know I did.
New style of barbecue to enter the Columbus market Aloha Hawaiian BBQ & Asian Bistro soon will join the restaurant-laden West Fifth Avenue corridor and serve up its own brand of quick-serve Asian cuisine. Set to open in the next week, the restaurant takes over 2,500 square feet of space in the Shoppes on Fifth, where Buffalo Wild Wings and Five Guys Burgers and Fries are located. The former Panda Express location seats about 60. The family-run restaurant was born of the culinary diverse background of Ken Tsai, the chef and partner who has spent 50 years cooking in the restaurant business.
The new enterprise, 974 W. Fifth Ave., reunites Tsai with Jin Su. The two met while working together 30 years ago in their native Taiwan. Ricky Tsai, son of the chef and also a partner, doesn’t want the restaurant’s name to be misunderstood. Aloha will not serve Hawaiian cuisine, but rather will draw on the state’s reputation as a melting pot of Asian cuisines. The style of food has become increasingly popular on the West Coast, he said. “You don’t see this in the Midwest. This is some-
thing we wanted to bring to the area,” said Tsai, whose wife, Sammi, will manage the restaurant. The menu focuses on a smattering of Hawaiian entrees, many of which use the restaurant’s three homemade barbecue sauces — katsu, teriyaki and Hawaiian barbecue — which offer their own sweet, distinctive tastes. Pork, chicken, shortribs and beef are marinated for 24 hours before being cooked to order. Other dishes, such as the shrimp and mahimahi, are deep-fried. The menu delves into several Asian cuisines: Japanese, Thai and Chinese, with several noodle dishes — soups included — and stir-fried entrees. A few salads and starters are part of the lineup, as well. For logistical reasons, they shied away from sushi but do offer spam musubi, a Hawaiian dish that riffs on Japanese nigiri, a firm square of grilled spam on top of rice and held in place by a band of nori. Tsai said he recognizes the competition from nearby restaurants such as CoCo’s Grill, Happy House, Nong’s Hunan Express and Mark Pi’s Express, so most prices at his restaurant are in the $6.25 to $7.95 range. Alcohol is not served. Aloha is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-298-9688.

Owner Jason Eisenhauer said he completely rebuilt the interior of the space, which used to be a salon. He’s also in the process of building a patio. On a related note, the pub has introduced food service, although it’s limited because there is no hood system. The menu includes traditional tavern fare, such as subs, panini sandwiches, pizza and The UA Pub has moved just a hair down the wings.
