Brand Road bike-trail vote delayed

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers Dublin City Council has put the brakes on a decision regarding a bike trail for Brand Road.

Council members on June 27 requested more information on a recommendation for a leisure trail for parts of Brand Road, between Dublin Road

and Muirfield Drive.

In March, council heard three options for an east-west bike-trail connector on Brand Road but delayed the vote to gain residents’ comments.

During the June 27 meeting, assistant city engineer Jeannie Willis recommended that the city install a multiuse path on the north side of Brand Road, between Dublin Road and Bran-

donway Drive, and another multi-use trail on the south side of Brand Road, between Bristol Parkway and Muirfield Drive.

A 2,200-foot area between Bristol and the intersection of Brandonway and Earlington Parkway would not get a path, Willis said.

“We feel very comfortable with no path between Bristol Parkway and Ear-

lington,” she said, noting that residents could use leisure trails that go through the Dublinshire subdivision, south of Brand.

A few previous options for trails on Brand Road included bike lanes, which would bring the need to widen the road to include two 4-foot lanes for cyclists.

Willis said none of those options is included in the proposed $1,025,000

project.

The proposed leisure trails would be set far enough off the road to allow for the future installation of bike lanes, Willis said.

“The path will be far enough away (from the road) so it won’t be affected if a bike lane is added,” she said.

KIWANIS FROG JUMP

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin’s parade policy is getting attention as the city prepares for more than 20,000 spectators for its annual Independence Day parade.

The American Civil Liberties Union in a June 16 letter to Dublin alleged that the city’s parade policy is “unconstitutional” when it comes to candidates for public office.

“I am referring to the policy which prohibits candidates for public office from campaigning, using the words ‘elect’ or ‘vote for,’ and passing out literature or any printed material during the city’s upcoming Fourth of July parade,” ACLU Ohio legal director James Hardiman wrote. “It is my understanding that while sitting public officials are permitted to display their names and currently held positions, non-incumbents are prohibited from identifying who they are and the offices to which they are seeking election.”

Dublin’s law director, Stephen Smith, this week said the city is working with the national group to find a solution.

“We’re talking to them,” he said. “We think some changes may be in order.”

The policy, according to Hardiman, violates the “rights of expression afforded to candidates under the First Amendment.”

According to Dublin’s parade guidelines, the only entries allowed in the Independence Day parade are commercial, nonprofit, elected officials, parade partners and parade or event sponsors.

In 2008, the city decided to change its parade policy to allow only elected officials.

“We looked at overall entries in the parade, and our goal was to improve the quality of the parade and keep it at an appropriate length,” city spokesperson Sandra Puskarcik said. “We were hearing from some spectators that the parade was getting too long and the entertainment value was decreasing.”

According to the current parade policy, only elected officials who represent the residents of Dublin may participate, but they may not “active-

The event puts 500 frogs and about 2,000 children in competition in three different categories. Competitors must get their frog to jump out of the circle first, but no touching is allowed.

The annual frog jump serves as a Kiwanis fundraiser. Proceeds from the frog jump are divided.

“We allocate half of the profit for the club for ongoing projects,” Kiwanis member Clay Rose said. “The rest goes to the Dublin Food Pantry and the American Red Cross.”

Redevelopment coming Dublin plans traditional Fourth of July celebration to Sawmill & I-270

By JENNIFER NOBLIT

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Two new restaurants, a hotel and retail space are coming to the northeast corner of the Interstate 270-Sawmill Road interchange.

Real estate group Casto on June 23 began demolishing a 115,000-sqaure-foot portion of the New Market shopping center that once housed Media Play and CompUSA, thus making way

for redevelopment.

New construction will include two sit-down national restaurant chains, an 80-bed hotel and at least 40,000 square feet of retail space.

Lifestyle Fitness and Golfsmith currently occupy part of the New Market development, and Casto spokeswoman Sarah Benson Heinrichs said they would remain open throughout construction.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION “We’re expecting them to be as great as they always are,” DiSalCenter heads east on Bridge Street vo said. “We still get lots and lots into Historic Dublin and south on of comments from people about High Street to end at Waterford how they think our fireworks are Drive. It will include about 100 units, said Mary Jo DiSalvo, events administrator.

A few balloons are included in that count, and parade-goers will be able to see how they’re put into working order.

“The Inflation Celebration started at the St. Patrick’s Day parade.

It was a little cooler, but we still had a few people come to the Crowne Plaza parking lot early to see how we lay out all the balloons and blow them up,” DiSalvo said.

Independence Day parade balloons Freddy the firecracker, stars and a giant guitar will be inflated at about 9 a.m. in the parking lot of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, 600 Metro Place North.

DiSalvo said the public is invited to watch the process.

The parade also will feature this year’s grand marshal, Jeff Noble, who will be escorted by a Boy Scout troop.

The parade will be led by Dublin police officer Chuck Rudy, rather than the police chief. DiSalvo said Chief Heinz von Eckartsberg chose Rudy to lead the parade because of his service to the community and country.

Rudy returned to the Dublin Police Department after a deployment to Afghanistan with the Ohio Air National Guard. As part of the police department’s community-education unit, Rudy was a resource officer at Grizzell Middle School.

Children may participate in the parade by decorating their bikes and being part of the bicycle brigade.

“It’s fun for kids and a blast from the past when everyone came out for a parade and decorated what they could,” DiSalvo said.

“It’s a nice, healthy way to take part in the parade.”

Volunteers will hand out something to help people celebrate the patriotic parade.

“We will have a group of people before the parade handing out those little flags so people can wave them,” DiSalvo said. “We would love for people to dress up in red, white and blue, and, of course, the theme is ‘Star-spangled Soul.’”

The Concert Band of Dublin will start the free evening entertainment at the Coffman High School stadium, followed by the Sharp Circle Band. Motown singer Smokey Robinson will take the stage at 8:15 p.m., and the celebration will end with fireworks.

They, and the members of their unit, may wear clothing with the elected official’s entry name and current title on it, but it may not say, ‘Elect or Vote For.’” Political candidates, the policy states, “may not participate in the parade.”

The act of letting current officials participate in the parade gives them an advantage over other candidates, Hardiman’s letter stated.

“To allow already elected officials to participate in the parade while denying other candidates all opportunities to display any type of self-identification clearly favors incumbents,” he wrote.

Hardiman suggested allowing all candidates to campaign at the Fourth of July parade.

“Therefore, since political campaigning is core political speech, there is no better way to celebrate our nation’s heritage than by encouraging the exercise of First Amendment rights,” he said. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

DIBAC to work for increased collaboration, global business

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A new feature at the Dublin Entrepreneurial Center was launched last week to increase collaboration on a large scale.

The Dublin International Business Assistance Center (DIBAC) was launched June 21 in an effort to go global.

“We’re adding a new dimension to the DEC in the form of new programming,” said Dan McDaniel, deputy city manager and director of economic development.

“We’re celebrating the diversity we have in Dublin and will promote international business development.”

McDaniel said the DEC’s success has come not just in job creation but also because of networking and collaborating.

The idea for the DIBAC came about because “the world is getting smaller” with the concept of globalism, McDaniel said.

Dublin’s diverse population and involvement with the Intelligent Community Forum think tank also had a hand in the idea.

With Dublin recognized as a Top 21 and Top 7 Intelligent Community by the New York-based

ICF, “I realized how much collaboration could happen between our city and other ICF cities across the globe and just how much economic development potential there is,” McDaniel said.

The DIBAC will offer space, networking opportunities, resources, technology, funding and education.

Chaz Freutel, representing GetU-Connected at the DEC, said the region has been in want of something like the DIBAC. “It’s something that’s been needed in all of central Ohio,” he said.

“I think that the region is starting to recognize the importance of putting a more concentrated effort on international relations.”

The DIBAC will mean more programming at the DEC with an international focus, including the subjects of exporting and overseas investments, Freutel said.

“Last year, we had four international-related events all put on for us by Ohio Small Business Development Center,” he said.

“They do 60 to 70 events for us.

This year, we’ve already done one (event) on importing, so they’ll be doing more of those events for us.

“We’ve already lined up an ad-

ditional six events,” he said. “Between now and the end of year, we hope to have 15 to 20 events for this. We’ll be sending out invitations to these folks.”

Dublin already has many international businesses, such as Wendy’s, Cardinal Health and Ashland, McDaniel said. This new service at the DEC could help other businesses that are considering it.

“We have a lot of small- and medium-size businesses that think more globally, too,” he said. “The more and more I get out and talk to companies, I see more and more companies looking at that. … It’s important in the role as a city to try to help facilitate relationships and a learning environment and help businesses and attract international business, as well.”

Freutel, who will have a hand in the DIBAC, said he’s looking forward to collaborating with such groups as Fisher College, Ohio State University, Columbus2020! and JASCO (Japan-American Society of Central Ohio).

“These groups are donating their time and draw additional people to this area and to the DEC,” he said. “The collaborative approach keeps costs to a minimum, and

REDEVELOPMENT Continued from page A1 The restaurants and hotel will have their own outparcels within the development, Heinrichs said, and the restaurants could be open by the end of the year or early 2012.

“Casto intends to turn over possession of the outparcels to the new restaurants by October in order for them to commence construction,” she said. “Please stay tuned for official announcements of the restaurants and hotel user.”

The layout of the 40,000 square feet of retail space will depend on the user, Heinrichs said, which has yet to be determined. The land is being marketed, she said.

Although the development that sits behind Olive Garden and Wendy’s on Sawmill Road has been partially empty since the closing of Media Play in 2006 and CompUSA in 2007, Heinrichs said, location is key in the success of the redevelopment.

Tourism matters

CVBs: one-stop shopping for a well-planned vacation It’s time for the annual summer family vacation. Trying to sift through the hundreds of travel opportunities can be exhausting, but a great free resource is available to you, regardless of the destination you choose. It’s the local convention and visitors bureau.

For visitors, CVBs are the equivalent of having a key to the city.

They serve as an official point of contact for visitors, helping to plan and secure the perfect vacation.

The bureaus (including ours in Dublin) are nonprofit organizations charged with representing a specific destination and helping to lure travelers to the area. The Dublin CVB promotes Dublin as a family-friendly destination that’s only minutes from such attractions as the Columbus Zoo, Zoombezi Bay, Historic Dublin, etc. The safe, suburban environment, with 14 hotels, makes Dublin a great destination for families in Ohio and across the Midwest.

Like the Dublin CVB, bureaus throughout the country (and in other countries) can be great resources in planning vacations, as they provide information about a destination; save you time and energy, as a one-stop shop for local tourism interests; provide a full range of information about a destination, including visitor guides,

maps, discounts, driving directions, weather, etc.; and charge nothing for their services.

The Internet SCOTT is a great place to start your DRING vacation planning. Not only do CVBs have websites and blogs, but many also can be found on various other socialmedia hubs. For example, the Dublin CVB shares updates and content on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr,YouTube, TripAdvisor, DiscoverOhio (website for the Ohio Division of Tourism) and others.

By visiting the bureau’s blog (IrishAttitude.wordpress.com), visitors can find insider tips, reviews of new restaurants in town, behind-the-scenes event details and other information that isn’t typically found on an organization’s official website. By becoming a member of a destination’s E-travel club, such as the Dublin CVB’s free “Destination Dublin E-Travel Club,” you could receive VIP offers and membersonly deals via email.

Many CVBs offer discounted rates on hotels and attractions, as well as coupons and online reser-

vation capabilities. For example, this summer, the Dublin CVB is offering visitors the opportunity to save up to 20 percent on passes to the Columbus Zoo, Zoombezi Bay and COSI through a “Kidseat-free summer package.” Seven participating restaurants are providing free kids meals as an incentive to book the package. Last year, the package generated nearly 1,300 room nights and sold more than 4,300 attraction tickets.

When you arrive at your destination, take a few minutes to visit the local visitors center, which offers recommendations for mustsee attractions and special events or “off the beaten path” restaurants and shops. Make sure you ask about discounts to local restaurants and attractions as well. If you are planning a weekend getaway around the state or want Dublin information, stop by the Dublin Visitor and Information Center, 9 S. High St., in Historic Dublin.

We are open seven days a week and offer hundreds of maps, brochures and ideas to help you plan the perfect getaway.

Here’s to you having a safe and enjoyable summer travel season.

Scott Dring is the executive director of the Dublin Convention & Visitors Bureau.

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 ED more densely populated parts LENTZ of the city.

In a time when air conditioning 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, inti-

mate 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, Columbus was deeply distrustful of fireworks in 1911. For most of the previous generation, fireworks and ordnance of all sorts had been readily available to anybody with the money to buy them.

In the years after the Civil War, it was not uncommon for a local militia company to fire a salute of rifle and cannon fire on the Fourth — with live ammunition. Workers at local factories often set off a quarter keg of black powder, making sure to duck to avoid flying pieces of wood. And children of all ages 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 See AS IT WERE, page A5

AS IT WERE Continued from page A4 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 and one in which the police quickly stopped the activities of amateur celebrants.

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 pub-

lic 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, especially with the heat, dinner was often served on the great porches of the houses of those days or on the 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.

The event also includes a patriotic tribute with the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Worthington high school students and a salute to the anniversary of the Civil War with reenactors, including an Abraham Lincoln.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Donations of food items will also be accepted for the Worthington Food Pantry and Resource Center.

Rusty Bucket plans move, fundraiser

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Rusty Bucket has a move and benefit planned for July.

The restaurant will move from one end of the Perimeter Loop shopping center to the other end early next month. The Rusty Bucket currently is at 6644 Perimeter Loop Road and will open at 6726 Perimeter Loop Road on July 13.

The move follows the approval of a 4,000square-foot addition to the Giant Eagle store. The grocery chain plans $14 million in improvements that will include expanding into the southern por-

tion of the shopping center, where the Rusty Bucket sits.

Heather Leonard, vice president of marketing for parent company Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, said the move would increase space at the Dublin location from 3,400 to 4,800 square feet.

The new location will handle seating for 179 patrons and will be the largest in the company.

“Our new restaurant in Dublin will provide guests with an exceptional dining experience,” Gary Callicoat, president and founder of Rusty Bucket, said in a press release. “It will continue to be a neighborhood destination for families, professionals and anyone looking for outstand-

ing comfort food and drinks in a fun, casual environment.”

The new location also will include two garage doors that open for patio dining, two rooms for private parties and new menu items, including artisan pizza and more craft beers.

After dinner service July 3, the Perimeter Center restaurant will close for the move and orientation until July 13, Leonard said.

A benefit for Miracle League will be held prior to the opening from 6 to 9 p.m. July 12.

The charity benefit for the group that provides a baseball league for children with disabilities will include a sampling of menu items and a com-

plimentary selection of beer, wine and cocktails.

Miracle League was formed in 2004 and played its first game at Dublin’s Darree Fields Park, 6259 Cosgray Road, in 2005.

The group holds a summer baseball league for children who are aided by “buddies.” A night league also is held for teens and adults.

Tickets to the benefit are $50, with 100 percent of ticket proceeds going to the Miracle League.

Tickets must be purchased by July 8 at any Rusty Bucket location or online at myrustybucket.com. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Brand Road bike-trail vote delayed Continued from page A1 Council member John Reiner called the proposal without a segment between Bristol Parkway and the Brandonway-Earlington intersection “counterproductive.”

“I can’t agree with this,” he said. “The intent is to have an east-west connector.”

Willis said the north fork of Indian Run, near Brand Road, posed challenges for a leisure trail in that area.

Some residents in attendance disagreed with the entire project.

“I’m entirely opposed to this,” Brand Road resident Dave Jenkins said, noting safety concerns. “It’s very dangerous to pull out

of my driveway. It’s an accident waiting to happen.”

“A Brand Road bike path is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard,” Mitch Grant told council members.

Residents also spoke against bike lanes that would widen Brand Road and threaten the “rural characteristic” of Brand Road.

Rich Weirich, however, said six homeowners associations and their members have sent council more than 1,000 letters in support of this project.

“Residents in my subdivision have been anxiously awaiting this connection,” he said.

Most council members said they do not support bike lanes or the resulting Brand

Road widening.

“I rely on the community plan, and Brand Road has rural characteristics that need to be preserved,” council member Richard Gerber said.

Council member Michael Keenan, along with others, requested more information on how heavily some residents on Brand would be affected and about the feasibility of the proposed leisure trails being moved closer to the road.

Staff members plan to return with the requested information for the Aug. 1 council meeting, when a vote likely will occur. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Dublin band to open for Smokey Robinson

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Concert Band of Dublin will play for its biggest audience yet on Independence Day. The community band earned a spot before Smokey Robinson takes the stages at Dublin’s annual Fourth of July festivities at Coffman High School, 6780 Coffman Road.

“A year ago on the Fourth of July, when the Dublin Cornet Band opened for Kenny Loggins, (council member) Cathy (Boring) and I said, ‘Here’s what we have planned; we’re starting a Dublin community band. We want the community to be involved in something musically, and it’s our goal to be here next year,’” concert band founder Tim Jameson said. “I get to be there and say we delivered. We were able to live our dream. … I’m hoping Cathy will be there to take a lot of credit because she and city council had a lot to do with this all happening.”

The Concert Band of Dublin began rehearsals in late January and performed its first concert in May. “There was a great turnout,” director Jeff Chesser said. “There were at least 500 people. We filled up Radiant Life Church. The audience response was great. People were pleasantly surprised by what they heard.”

Jameson heard the same feedback after the premiere concert.

“The band played great. People were astonished a group together as long as we’ve been plays as good as we do,” he said.

“It’s a credit to the musicians and Jeff Chesser.”

Arranging a concert after about three months of rehearsals wasn’t difficult for the group, Chesser said.

“With the quality of musicians in the area, it was pretty easy to put it together because they already have the skills,” he said.

“It’s just a matter of bringing people together.”

It won’t be difficult to get play-

ers for Independence Day. Chesser said nearly every musician in the group that numbers about 80 would be at the performance.

“It’s a good-sized band,” he said. “We’re so big, they had to put us on the turf.”

Gates for the evening celebration at the Coffman High School stadium will open at 4:30 p.m., with the Concert Band of Dublin starting at 5 p.m. Smokey Robinson is set to perform from 8:15 to 9:45 p.m., with fireworks to follow.

Admission to the event is free.

Tables in the field are sold out, and bleacher seats are on a firstcome, first-served basis.

Chesser said the musical lineup would include patriotic songs, a salute to the armed forces and marches.

“I think it will be music that

The Dublin City Schools Are Pleased to Present

Emerald City Music Games

connects, especially with this holiday,” he said. “It should connect with the patriotism of the community and, hopefully, our goal is always to leave the audience feeling better than when they came.”

The band also wants to make the Independence Day event an annual concert.

“I would love for that to happen. It’s a great thing for the community to have this kind of a tradition,” Chesser said.

The Concert Band of Dublin next will perform at the Dublin Retirement Village and is looking for more opportunities to play.

The group also is accepting new members.

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 something 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.

The Goat tavern has opened at 5730 Silver Falls St., off Hayden Run Road in the Dublin area. It’s the third in central Ohio. At 8,000 square feet, it’s the biggest store yet, and offers two volleyball courts with access to a nearby pool.

The place offers a standard tavern bill of fare, including burgers, pizzas, wings, salads, sandwiches and appetizers. The first Goat opened in 2003 in New Albany, followed by another location in Gahanna.

Sammi and Ricky Tsai are among a founding partnership that established the Aloha Hawaiian BBQ & Asian Bistro at 974 W. Fifth Ave.

Jameson to perform in Dublin, across country

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

One Dublin dad will cheer his son on at the Emerald City Music Games next week.

The annual Dublin stop on the Drum Corps International’s Summer Music Games Tour on July 5 will feature musicians from around the world, in addition to at least one local.

“My son, Josh, is 21, and this is his fifth year,” Tim Jameson said. “He’s actually one of two drum majors (for the Glassmen). He’ll be out in front of the corps, directing. This is especially cool for him coming home. Last year was his first year as a drum major, but they didn’t come here last year.”

The Glassmen had come the three years prior, when Josh marched and played the baritone with the Toledo-based drum and bugle corps.

“He was always one of those kids who wanted to do a little bit more,” Tim said.

“When he was a sophomore in high school, we took him to Indianapolis for a drum-corps show, and he got the bug.”

Jameson went to tryouts in Toledo between his junior and senior year in high school and earned a spot with the band.

The Glassmen group comprises 150 musicians ranging from 16 to 22 years old and from as far away as Holland, Germany, England and Japan. Some are local, though. The

group’s website said 60 percent come from the tri-state area.

After scoring a position with the group, Jameson had to attend monthly weekend camps and summer rehearsals in May. Touring for competition starts in June and ends in August.

“They put in 10,000 to 12,000 miles on the bus,” Jameson said. “It’s just amazing the intensity about which they go about their day.

It’s like being in the circus. By the time they’re a couple weeks into the season, they don’t even know where they are.”

Jameson’s corps won’t be the only group performing at Emerald City Music Games at Dublin Jerome High School, 8300 Hyland-Croy Road. Seven other drum and bugle corps will perform and a few are new to the Emerald City Games.

“One new group is the Troopers from Casper, Wyo.,” said Gary Hodges, who organizes the local event. “Their uniform is based off a cavalry uniform from the late 1800s. It’s based on an Ohio regiment. They’re a very popular group. It’s our first year to have a Canadian group.”

The groups slated to perform in the Emerald City Music Games are Blue Saints, from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada; Blue Stars, from La Crosse, Wis.; The Cavaliers, from Rosemont, Ill.; Cincinnati Tradition, from Cincinnati; Colts, from Dubuque, Iowa; Glassmen,

from Toledo; Pioneer, from Milwaukee, Wis.; and the Troopers, from Casper, Wyo. Hodges, a former Dublin City Schools music teacher, said he likes bringing a highcaliber music event to the city.

“I think being a former educator in Dublin schools, and obviously, as a musician, I’m into art. To bring something of this caliber to Dublin and all of Franklin County for people to see and to support kids working hard to be as perfect as they can be, that is what excites me,” he said, adding that the event benefits athletics fields at Dublin City Schools.

The shows performed by each band will include music, themes and sometimes props, Hodges said.

“It’s very entertaining, somewhat like a Broadway show on grass, or in this case, artificial turf,” he said.

A local group, the Dublin Cornet Band, will play before the show begins. The gates will open at 5:30 p.m.

A Dublin student will perform the national anthem at 7 p.m., and the bands will perform starting at 7:15.

Hodges said awards would be announced at 10:15 p.m., with a post performance by the Blue Stars planned after awards.

Tickets to the event are available online at emeraldcitygames.org and range from $17 to $23. Tickets also will be available at the gate but will be more expensive.

While living here she became part of an important breeding program. She mothered 20 eaglets that were released into the wild. Then in 2008 we received great news that bald eagles were down listed to Threatened in Ohio! Here’s a picture of one of her eaglets born at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Juvenile eagles look very different from adult eagles. The eagle’s first feathers are all brown, including their head and tail; like this picture of Cheyenne who lives at the Zoo too.

They also have a dark beak that turns yellow as they mature. These changes take place during the first five years of their life.

During Keeper Talks you get to meet the keepers and hear all about the animals they take care of.

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 a couple See WRESTLING, page C2

Boys Golf

Zesiger named Jerome coach

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After Matt Schneider resigned as coach of the Dublin Jerome High School boys golf team last fall because he was moving to Cincinnati, athletics director Nick Magistrale didn’t have to search far for a replacement.

Craig Zesiger, who served as Jerome’s varsity assistant and varsity B coach in 2010, has been hired as the Celtics’ new head coach.

“Craig is a (science) teacher here at Dublin Jerome and that’s a very positive attribute because building a rapport with studentathletes in our building is integral to having success in any sport in interscholastic athletics,” Magistrale said. “His communication and organization are fantastic, and those attributes are really going to help our program moving forward.”

In two seasons at Jerome, Schneider guided the Celtics to two OCC-Cardinal Division titles and two Division I sectional championships.

The Celtics finished third in the state tournament in 2010 after finishing eighth the previous season.

In its first five seasons of existence under Jim Hull, Jerome won Division I state championships in 2005 and 2007, captured the Division II state title in 2004 and finished second in the Division I state tournament in 2006 and 2008.

“Dublin Jerome has an incredible tradition in golf and we’re looking for that to continue,” Zesiger said. “It’s been a good transition because I already know many of our guys from teaching and coaching, and they already know my expectations. These guys already have their swings down.

My job is to be a motivator and to help them with the mental part of the game.”

Zesiger played four seasons of golf at Westerville North. He graduated in 1996.

He learned the game from his older brother, John, who played golf at Purdue University before working as a professional instructor for 10 years.

After earning a degree in biology from the University of Kentucky in 2000, Zesiger spent six months doing ecological-based research in Costa Rica. He continued his research and taught marine biology on Andros Island, the largest island in the Bahamas, from 2001 through 2007.

Zesiger returned to central Ohio and earned an education degree from Capital University in 2009, and he has taught science and served as an assistant varsity hockey coach at Jerome the past two school years.

“Being a teacher at Jerome allows me to have a big impact on the kids, because I’m an educator first,” Zesiger said. “I want the kids to carry themselves with high integrity and I want them to do well both in the classroom and on the golf course.”

Members of the Coffman girls volleyball team celebrate after winning a Division I state semifinal match. The squad was one of seven to win or share OCC-Central Division titles as the school won the Ralph Young All-Sports Award.

Ralph Young All-Sports Award

Coffman earns league points title

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin Coffman High School athletics director Tony Pusateri said the Shamrocks strive to be competitive in every sport every season.

Therefore, Pusateri said Coffman’s student-athletes, coaches and administrators were thrilled when it was announced that the school had earned the second annual Ralph Young All-Sports Award for the OCC-Central Division.

“We’re all very fortunate to be a part of a great school like Dublin Coffman where we have the resources to do well in everything we do,” Pusateri said. “When you’re at a school that excels academically and then you hear that you’re the best in your conference athletically, it makes you really proud because the coaches, kids and their parents all are key parts of us winning this. We’ve had a lot of success in just about every sport here every school year, and it makes you feel good to win an award that verifies that success.”

By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek

Coffman’s Clayton Vranic makes a diving catch during a Division I district final against Gahanna. The baseball team won the league title with a 13-1 record.

The Ralph Young All-Sports Award is given annually to the school that performs the best across the OCC’s common 16 sports. Eight points are awarded for a first-place finish, seven for a second, six for a third and so on.

The award is named in honor of the longtime Ohio Capital Conference secretary. Young also is a former athletics director at Delaware, he has been a track official for 38 years and he manages basketball tournaments at the sec-

tional, district and regional levels for the Ohio High School Athletic Association. He currently serves as treasurer of the OHSAA’s Central District.

“Dublin Coffman was in the running for this award last year

and their coaches did a great job of getting their student-athletes ready to perform well again this year,” OCC commissioner Dave Cecutti said.

Club Soccer

Two teams win pools, advance to semis

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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 four-team 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 Under-19 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 U-19 boys See GOLF, page C3 squad to regional and national titles last

Tourney coverage, pgs. C4-C5 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 representatives 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 1-0 on penalty kicks.

In semifinals played June 28, the U13 team played Eclipse Select and the U-16 team played KCFC Force from

Kansas. The finals were held June 29.

Regional champions in the U-14 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’ U-18 and U-19 teams each went 2-1 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,” DougherSee SOCCER, page C3

Football

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 thing, if you’re not a gentleman and if you don’t have

mentors and the way you have to do better 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.

Those messages were conveyed by Michael Carter, who will be entering “I like the way they’re talking, like www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

WRESTLING Continued from page C1 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 competitive and then added some at the top,”Andrews said. “It helps some kids from football or some kids who are concerned about losing too much weight between 171 and 189.”

According to the NFHS, the last major change in weight classes occurred in 1988, when the lowest class was increased from 98 to 103. 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 is unfair. It’s a pretty big advan-

tage to have that locked up like that. I don’t like the figure four. ... Two legs against the neck is usually not a good idea.”

In another change, the boundary line now is considered in-

bounds. Previously, a wrestler was out of bounds if he or she was touching any part of the line, which is two inches wide.

“I like expanding the mat a little bit and having the line inbounds

instead of out of bounds,” coach DiSabato said. “I’m just curious how it’s going to be called because of the size of the gyms. The mats are closer together, but you award the aggressor as much as you can

and that tends to help out if the line is inbounds rather than out of bounds.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Women’s Basketball

Area players shine for Hidden Gems

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

At a glance

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 overseas, but hopefully I will after this season,” Young said.

“I really wouldn’t mind playing in Spain, France or anywhere in Europe. I’d even consider Australia. 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.) College women’s team.

After graduating from Scioto, Young played two seasons for Muskingum and two seasons for Salem International, a Division II school in Salem, W.Va. She then served one season as a student-assistant coach and graduated from Talladega College.

Young, who celebrated her 25th birthday June 26, is one of seven players on the Hidden Gems who are central Ohio natives. “(The Women’s Blue Chip League) is good competition, especially when you get to nationals,” Young said. “I like the fact that you get an opportunity to play and it gives you the opportunity to get looked at overseas. 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

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.

The roles of Young and cocaptain Lorrie Poindexter, a 2003 Beechcroft graduate in her second year playing for Columbus, are more extensive than a year ago when former Ohio State player Brandie Hoskins and former Bowling Green player Niki McCoy were among the key players.

Saunders and 2006 Delaware graduate Ashleigh Brown, who has played limited minutes with the Hidden Gems this season because of other commitments, recently signed extensions to play for a team in Sweden in the fall. Jamika Banks, a Fort Wayne, Ind., native who also was expected to play for Columbus, currently is playing in Australia.

Catherine Cain, a Dayton native, has been averaging 19 points and 12 rebounds.

Jessica Slack, a Thornville Sheridan graduate, averages 13

points.

The other central Ohio natives on the Hidden Gems are 1999 Brookhaven graduate Ebony Pegues, 2001 Mifflin graduate Sherrie Griffin, 2006 Africentric graduate Janicia Anderson and 2003 Walnut Ridge graduate Tina Huff.

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. By the time we get to Atlanta, we’ll be fine.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Team Ohio F.C.

U-18 boys settle for 2nd in pool play

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Team Ohio F.C. Blast Under-18 boys soccer team found itself with a shortened bench in the Midwest Regional Cup in Fox Cities, Wis., after defender Angelo Pagani and midfielder Drew Pang were injured in the first game.

Despite the loss of those starters, Team Ohio Blast managed to go 1-0-1 in its first two pool-play games, tying CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati at 2 on June 25 and beating the Michigan Wolves 3-0 on June 26.

However, it couldn’t overcome the ejection of starting defender Max Rohda less than 20 minutes into its final game of pool play June 27 and lost to the KCFC Rangers from Kansas 1-0.

The KCFC Rangers won their four-team pool with a 3-0 record and nine points to advance to a semifinal June 28, while Team Ohio Blast finished second (11-1, 4).

“That was a nightmare because we had a player sent off the field for a penalty that didn’t happen,” coach Steve Dawson said.

“We had three players collide and the referee gave (Rohda) a red card out of it.

They got a penalty shot on that play, too, and our goalkeeper (A.J. Fleak) made a great save to keep us in the game. Our team dealt with the situation the best they could and Colton Bloecher had a couple of great opportunities where he could have scored, as did Frazier Fernandes. But it was tough to play with 10 men because it was warm and it was our third game in three days. Our players grew tired as the game wore on and we finally gave up a goal with about 20 minutes left.”

Jesus Villarroel and Bloecher each scored goals to help Team Ohio Blast rally from a 2-0 deficit to tie CUP Crew Juniors.

The following day, Bloecher, Villarroel and Fernandes scored as Team Ohio Blast defeated the Michigan Wolves.

“We had some injuries, but we played well overall and came one win away from making it past group play,” Dawson said.

•The Team Ohio Green U17 boys team went 0-1-2 to finish third in its pool with two points behind Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors (3-0, 9) and Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier (1-1-1, 4).

Team Ohio Green opened June 25 by tying Shattuck-St. Mary’s from Minnesota at 1, as Ray Gans scored the tying goal on a penalty kick with 20 minutes remaining.

The next day, Team Ohio Green battled Elm Grove Premier to a scoreless tie behind goalkeeper A.J. Tresoline.

“It’s frustrating because we played better than both those teams and should have beaten them, but we didn’t finish our chances,” defender A.G. Basiakos said. “We played great defense, but we didn’t score enough to win.”

On June 27, Team Ohio Green lost to the Grand Rapids Crew Juniors 4-2 despite goals from Ryan Magee and Trevin Pitroff.

The Grand Rapids Crew Juniors, who are ranked first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, outscored their first two opponents 11-0.

U-19 squad fails to advance

Celtics' Wilson to play football at Iowa Dublin Jerome High School senior Cam Wilson has verbally committed to play football at the University of Iowa beginning in fall 2012. He received

offers from 14 Division I schools and chose Iowa over Illinois and Boston College.

Last season, Wilson led the Celtics in receiving with 77

catches for 1,079 yards and six touchdowns. He was named first-team all-OCC-Cardinal Division and Division II all-district, and second-team all-state.

COFFMAN Continued from page C1 After finishing second in the standings behind Upper Arlington last year, Coffman won the award with 110 points, ahead of Hilliard Davidson (95.5), UA (92), Thomas Worthington (78), Hilliard Darby (69), Worthington Kilbourne (68), Central Crossing (41.5) and Westland (21).

The Shamrocks won outright OCC-Central championships in boys cross country, girls cross country, boys golf and girls volleyball in the fall, shared the league title with UA in boys basketball in the winter and won outright league titles in baseball and girls track and field in the spring.

“It’s a huge honor to win this because the OCC-Central is extremely competitive in all sports,” Coffman boys golf coach David

Woodmansee said. “Obviously, our boys golf team is happy to contribute eight points, but the great thing about this award is that every sport matters and (all 16 teams) helped us score enough points whether they won a championship or not. This is reflective of the great support we get from our entire community. The leadership we get from our athletics director and our principal (Mike Ulring) is so positive. They really support what we do. At Coffman, we always get great volunteer support from our parents and we have kids who do well playing multiple sports.”

Senior Megan Collins, juniors Clarissa Bons and Mechelle DeNoble, sophomore Rachel Weber and freshman Rachel Bosworth each played key roles in leading the girls cross country and girls

track teams to OCC-Central titles in the past school year.

“It’s pretty special that our school won an award like this,” Bons said. “It’s nice to win an individual award, but it’s even better when you can share it with your whole team and your whole school.”

Weber said the Shamrocks will do their best to win the Ralph Young All-Sports Award again next school year.

“I think we’ll have a shot at it again next year because we have some good athletes coming back,” Weber said. “Everyone who plays sports in our school just needs to work really hard again and I think more good things will happen for us.”

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Classics Eagles

Missed chances haunt U-13 boys team

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Even though the Classics Eagles Under-13 boys soccer team had squandered several scoring chances against the Wichita (Kan.) Lightning in its Midwest Regional Cup opener June 25, coach Mike Lentz felt comfortable with a late one-goal lead because his squad was dominating possession.

However, those missed opportunities came back to haunt the Classics Eagles.

A Lightning player drew a foul 19 yards from the team’s goal with under a minute

left and scored on a free kick to tie the game at 1.

That tie proved costly to the Classics Eagles in the tournament in Fox Cities, Wis. They lost to Vardar from Michigan 4-0 the following day and eventually finished third in their four-team pool with a 1-1-1 record and four points behind Cleveland Pacesetter (2-1, 6) and Vardar (2-1, 6).

Out of the Classics Eagles’pool, only Cleveland Pacesetter advanced to a regional semifinal June 28. Cleveland Pacesetter finished first on a tiebreaker because it had beaten Vardar.

Nick Teutsch beat three defenders en route to scoring on a low, hard shot just inside the far post to put the Classics Eagles ahead 1-0 in the first half against the Lightning.

Will Bolton almost made it 2-0 with 20 minutes left, but his shot hit the left post.

“We had total ball control and we only gave up one shot on goal each half, so I felt pretty comfortable in the way we were playing even after we missed out on all of those chances to score a second goal,” Lentz said. “But we got called for a foul and gave up that late goal, and

it took away our momentum and confidence. Had we won that game, I’d like to think we’d have played much better against Vardar. Knowing we had to beat Vardar to have a chance to win our pool, we pushed forward a little more than usual, which left us more vulnerable defensively. And we just didn’t match Vardar’s intensity.”

The Classics Eagles concluded pool play June 27 with a 2-0 victory over Cleveland Pacesetter.

A.J. Smith scored what would become the winner 12 minutes into the game from 25 yards out.

In the second half, Teutsch scored off an assist from Jake Harr and goalkeeper A.J. Smith made a diving save to his left to preserve the shutout.

“That was the best we’ve played all spring,” Lentz said.

“We dismantled them in every category, especially when it came to shots on goal and time of possession. It was nice to beat our group winner. We finished a great spring run with a commanding performance.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Ohio Premier

Eagles advance two girls squads to semis

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Ohio Premier Eagles advanced two of four girls soccer teams to Midwest Regional Cup semifinals after pool play concluded June 27 in Fox Cities, Wis. Ohio Premier went 10-2 overall in pool play.

The Under-13 and U-16 squads both went 3-0 in pool play and played in semifinals June 28. The regional winners in the U-14 through U-19 age groups, which were determined June 29, advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in Phoenix on July 27-31.

The Eagles U-13 team played Eclipse Select of Illinois in its semifinal. Eclipse is a familiar opponent for Ohio Premier.

“Unfortunately, our semifinal is the one that everyone says should be the final, but in a blind draw, this happens,” coach Kevin Dougherty said. “We’re friends with the Eclipse and know a lot about them.

They have a huge organization that draws from a large area. We’ve played all five of their 13U club teams, but then they combine their best players for the tournaments. They have many very special players.”

The Eagles defeated Carmel (Ind.) United SC Elite 3-1 to open pool play. They then beat Greater Toledo FC 5-0 and advanced to a semifinal by beating Centennial (Minn.) 4-0.

Against Carmel, Kristen McFarland scored twice and Alivia Milesky also scored. Sam Grim made four saves but allowed a late goal. She then earned the shutout against Toledo, as McFarland scored and assisted on goals by Madison Moroi and Aubrei Corder. Milesky and Bailey Williams also scored.

Against Centennial, Moroi had two goals. Corder and McFarland also scored and Grim and Parker Myers were rarely challenged in net.

“We scored three goals in the first nine minutes and just began moving girls around, having some fun, working on some things and just trying not to get anyone injured,” Dougherty said.

•The U-16 team had to get past Eclipse Select in pool play to advance, and the Eagles did that in dramatic fashion in the finale to move on to a semifinal against KC Force on June 28.

The Eagles beat Eclipse Select on the 10th penalty kick after neither team had scored entering the penalty kicks sessions. Both teams scored on two of five penalty kicks to force the extra one-kick rounds, where they matched each other’s efforts until Bailey Wilson converted in the 10th round after Eagles goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas had stopped Eclipse’s 10th kick.

James-Buhigas made five saves in the penalty kicks phase.

“She was unbelievable and came up with huge saves when we needed them,” said coach Chris King, whose team outscored its opponents 10-0 in pool play. “Usually, you tell the keeper to get one save in (penalty kicks) and we’ll win it. She had

saves on five of 10 penalty kicks and they were off frame with another. She was just outstanding.”

The Eagles won their first two games 7-0 against KC Fusion and 3-0 against Michigan Football Club to put themselves into a points tie with Eclipse before their showdown.

“The maximum goal-differential in tiebreakers here is four per game, so both us and Eclipse had seven total points entering (the June 27 pool finale),” said King, who also guided the Eagles’ U-18 team to the regional tournament. “We knew going into it that there had to be a winner and that it could go to penalty kicks. One team was going to the semifinal and the other was going home.”

Two years ago, the clubs played in the U-16 regional championship and the Eclipse won in a shootout to send the Eagles home.

Against the Fusion, the Eagles used three goals from Lindsay Agnew and one apiece from Nicole Hopkins, Alexis Milesky, Hannah O’Shaughnessy and Brooke Maletic. O’Shaughnessy, Milesky and Agnew scored against Michigan Football Club.

The defense was strong in front of James-Buhigas, who made just five total saves in the first two pool games.

•The U-19 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance.

The Eagles opened by beating Dynamo of Indiana 5-1 before losing to defending regional champion Eclipse (Ill.) 3-0 and beating Bloomfield (Mich.)

5-1 in the finale.

Against Dynamo, Sarah Gross scored twice. Also scoring were Nadja Kolliesuah, Ellie Gavin and

Casey Barrett. Shannon Flowers made three saves.

Against Eclipse, the teams played a scoreless first half. The Eagles trailed 1-0 with about 10 minutes left when they changed their strategy to try to apply more offensive pressure.

“The first half was evenly contested, but we should’ve scored first and led at half,” coach Matt Ogden said. “We needed at least a draw, so it didn’t matter if the final was 1-nil or 3-nil. We had 13 players and they wore us down in the second half. But if we score first, we can play a little different style and try to preserve the lead and get a positive result.”

The Eagles got goals from Barrett, Gross, Andrea Hulls and Amber Kern in the finale, as well as an own-goal from Bloomfield.

“We had nothing to play for, so we made it a farewell game for these girls who have played together for a long time,” Ogden said. “Flowers marshaled the box pretty well, but we controlled tempo and possession throughout after we fell behind 10. We definitely feel that we are a team worthy of advancing, but it wasn’t meant to be. If we played Eclipse on a different day, things might have been different. But we made mistakes and that’s soccer.

We came back and played hearts-out and that was fantastic.”

•The U-18 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance.

The Eagles lost their opener 3-1 to KCFC Intensity. They beat Eden Prairie (Minn.) 2-1 and then won 5-2 over Dakota Alliance Black of South Dakota.

King was disappointed by the opening loss, but credited the Intensity.

“That’s the best team we’ve played in the last two seasons,” King said. “We were down 2-1 and gave ourselves a couple good chances to even it up. But we were unable to do that and we started pressing and got caught forward. We exposed ourselves and they got the extra goal.”

Ashley Gruenbaum scored for Ohio Premier.

The Eagles trailed Eden Prairie 1-0 after allowing a goal just before halftime. But Jesse Sabers tied it and Michela Paradiso scored the winner with around 11 minutes remaining. Goalie Abbey Smith preserved the win from there. bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Tennis

Area team wins Ohio Valley Davis Cup

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tyler Stephen, who recently was named coach of the Dublin Jerome High School girls tennis team, will enter his new job this fall with a fresh perspective of the sport in central Ohio.

Stephen and Worthington Kilbourne boys tennis coach Steve Metzmaier guided an 11-player team of some of the area’s top boys and girls tennis players to a firstplace finish in the Ohio Valley Davis Cup on June 18-19 in Charleston, W.Va. “It was kind of nice to have all that talent on the same team,” said Stephen, who

also is coach of the Thomas Worthington boys team. “Most of the time these kids are competing against each other in tournaments, so they all knew each other. But it was a little different situation because now they were competing with each other.

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 dou-

bles 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.

The girls players were Lauren Bellinger and Sarah Stein of Jerome, Meghan Buell and Cristina DiLorenzo of New Albany, UA’s Elaine Cloern and Watterson’s Katie Shepherd.

Bellinger, Buell, Shepherd and Stein competed in the Division I girls state tournament last fall and Seitz, Vannatta and Wallace played in the Division I boys state tournament in the spring.

Baseball

Buckeye Elite 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 U-18. 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 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 on-field 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 fourteam pools in U-16, 14 three-team pools in U-15 and four five-team pools in U-14.

In U-18, the winner of each pool will advance to gold championship single-elimination 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 U14, the gold and silver championship games will be at Don Edwards Park in Newark on July 9.

The Ohio Elite 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 baseball program will enter teams in the U-14 and U-18 divisions. Harry Huskey will coach the U-18 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. He led the Greyhounds to a Division I state semifinal this spring,.

Grove City will have teams in the U-16 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.”

place second in the state with a 6-4, 6-2 loss to Cincinnati Ursuline Academy’s Komal Safdar and Mehvish Safdar in the doubles final, said the Ohio Valley Davis Cup provided a good tune-up for summer and fall competition.

“The main thing you pick up is confidence, I guess,” she said. “It’s mostly just for fun.”

“The best thing was having us all together,” Bellinger said. “We all know each other and we all hit with each other. I think that made us a good team.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
