Weather warnings added to CodeRED By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The city of Gahanna will use the CodeRED notification system Aug. 4 to call the community, announcing the launch of the severe-weather alert service. Mayor Becky Stinchcomb told council Aug.1 that the automated weather-alert service is part of a new “opt-in” system. Residents who already are registered to receive CodeRED calls would have to update their choic-

in to the CodeRED weatherwarning system, which will provide notifications directly from the National Weather Service’s forecast office in Wilmington, near Cincinnati. Residents could select the warnings they want to receive, such as those for tornados, severe thunderstorms and winter storms, on their cellphones and residential land lines. “If they change cellphone numbers, they can change their (notification) number,” Williams
said. He said residents and businesses should register for the notifications and provide contact information, including cellphone numbers, home phone numbers and email and text addresses for use by the CodeRED system. In particular, Williams said, those with unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their phone number recently and those who use a cellphone exclusively — or have VoIP phones such as Vonage as their primary num-
bers — should register. “If your contact information isn’t in the database, you won’t receive a call,” he said. Residents may opt in by going to the city’s website at www.gahanna.gov and following the CodeRED link under the “I want to” menu inside the light-blue box.

Jack Winger, 8, leaps from the diving board at the Gahanna Swimming Pool on July 28. He was one of many people attending the pool during “Hot Dog Night.” On Thursdays from 5 to 8:30 p.m., visitors to the pool can enjoy music, pay $1 for hot dogs and drinks and 50 cents for chips.
Pool attendance rises with temperatures By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The summer scorcher is at least helping the city pools’ coffers. Gahanna recreation supervisor Shannon Clonch said memberships are up by about 800 compared to this time last year. The Hunters Ridge Pool, 341 Harrow Blvd., and Gahanna Swimming Pool, 148 Parkland Ave., had 4,400 members in July, compared to 3,600 in July 2010. With the extreme heat the past few weeks, Clonch said, the pools also have seen more visitors paying daily admission. “It looks like it will remain hot the next several weeks,” she said. “We have seven-visit passes for $47, where one person can use it seven different
times or more than one person can use for a combination.” The seven-visit pass is good for both pools. Daily admission is $9, or $7 if visiting with a member. After 4 p.m., admission is $7, or $5 if visiting with a member. “This year has been a great year overall,” Clonch said. “We changed our pricing strategy. We dropped prices lower than they have been since I’ve been here. Until the end of April, a residential family membership was $225. It was a wonderful incentive, and the membership base went up by 25 to 30 percent. Operationally, revenue-wise, we’re ahead of last year.” The pools offer more than swimming to attract customers. The Gahanna Swimming Pool of-
fers Thursday hot dog night at 6 p.m. “Hot dog night is our biggest draw,” Clonch said. “We had 600 to 700 people last Thursday night, with people in a line from the grill to the front of the pool. They cooked over 1,000 hot dogs last week. The food isn’t donated, but it’s part of our budget.” The hot dogs cost $1. Recreation superintendent Mike Musser said the popular hot dog nights also feature a DJ, contests, prizes and activities. Hunters Ridge features Tuesday ice cream nights, with $1 ice cream bowls, sprinklers and a bubble maker. Hunters Ridge also has a “DiveIn Movie” series, which will conclude with “Toy Story 3” at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12. The movie is free for members, and a $5 discount admission starts at 4 p.m. for others.
Hunters Ridge is open from noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 1 to 8 p.m. Sunday. Gahanna Swimming Pool hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 1 to 8 p.m. Sunday. Back-to-school hours start Aug. 23 at Hunters Ridge and are noon to 7 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 7 p.m. Sunday. The pool closes for the season on Labor Day. Gahanna Swimming Pool will be closed after school starts. The Hunters Ridge pool will open to dogs Sept. 17 and 18. Admission is $5. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
Future development will need more details to get an OK from Gahanna’s planning commission. City codes regarding zoning and rezoning are being updated and will require more comprehensive information on applications. Development director Anthony Jones said work with the council clerk and city engineer should yield city codes that are up to industry standards. “We wanted to make it more cohesive,” he said. “We looked at other communities to see what they consider. It gets future applicants to explain their case and grounds given to approve or disapprove.” Council on Aug. 1 approved a substantial change to the code. An economic development analysis has been added, requiring applicants to provide more detailed information to help the commission and council make well-informed decisions on zoning and rezoning requests. The commission will consider six elements when deciding on any zoning or rezoning: Consistency with the city’s goals, policies and comprehensive land-use plan, including any corridor plans or subarea plans. Compatibility of the site’s physical, geological, hydrological and other environmental features with the potential uses allowed in the proposed zoning district. Availability of sites elsewhere in the city that already are zoned for the proposed use. The compatibility of all potential uses allowed in the proposed zoning district with the surrounding uses and zoning, in terms of land suitability, impacts on the environment, density, nature of use, traffic effects, aesthetics, infrastructure, and potential influence in the value of existing abutting lands or approved developments. The capacity of city infrastructure and services to accommodate the uses permitted in the requested district without compromising the health, safety and welfare of its residents. See DETAILS, page A3
Commission approves warehouse for Columbia Gas By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Columbia Gas plans to move into a new warehouse in the Eastgate Industrial area and add about 45 new workers. Gahanna’s planning commission on July 27 unanimously approved a development plan and design review for a 9,360-square-foot office warehouse at 1610 Eastgate Parkway. Columbia Gas will have about 45 new employees based at the facility, Pagura Co. owner Steve Pagura said. The company will develop and lease the property to Columbia Gas.

Columbia liked the proximity and convenience to the east side of Columbus, Pagura said. “They wanted to be closer to where they do repair,” he said. Construction should begin on the warehouse in about two weeks, and Columbus Gas expects to move in by March 2012, Pagura said. Zoning administrator Bonnie Gard said a fleet for Columbia Gas would be housed at Eastgate. Workers will report to the building each morning to pick up their commercial vehicle. “There will be no gas storage or tanks that would be harmful in any way,” she said. The proposed building meets all applicable
setbacks and the required number of parking spaces, Gard said. The service parking area will be screened by a 6-foot chain-link fence. A bioswale will be constructed at the front of the building, where plants will assist with the filtration and rate of stormwater disbursement. “We suggest the applicant use herbs in the landscape plan, since we’re the herb capital,” Gard said. “We hope they will enjoy being in Gahanna, and we look forward to them coming.” The commission also approved variances and a design review for the BP gas station at 407 Granville St. City engineer Karl Wetherholt said Heath-
based Englefield Oil had requested a sign variance at the business to allow the sign to remain where it is. He said improvements to the Hamilton Road-Granville Street intersection resulted in the sign being moved closer to the new rightof-way line than the code provides. “The intersection improvements are designed to increase safety and help the flow,” he said. Commission chairperson Kristin Rosan said the variance for sign placement is appropriate given that the applicant had no part in creating the circumstances. See GAS, page A2

Bike ride to showcase new connector, safety By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna resident Tricia Kovacs uses her own experience when explaining the importance of bicycle safety to students. Kovacs was wearing a helmet last fall, when she was riding down a steep hill and hit a muddy patch, leading to a spill that left her unconscious but with no permanent injuries. She always shows her cracked bike helmet to students in the safety classes she teaches. “I would have been seriously hurt if I hadn’t been wearing a helmet,” Kovacs said. “When I teach kids, I tell them the story. I think it makes an impression on them.” She will teach her next session about bicycle safety beginning at 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 14, at Veterans Memorial Park, 73 W. Johnstown Road. The class will precede a 2 p.m. bike ride that will take cyclists south to the College Park neighborhood, across the new multi-use path bridge, through the Hunter’s Ridge neighborhood to Gahanna Woods Preserve. “I hope people will want to check out the new bridge,” Kovacs said. “I like how it connects both side of the town for people who don’t want to use Granville Street. I also think there are a lot of people who don’t know there’s a back entrance to Gahanna Woods.” The 10-mile round-trip route will make an ice cream stop at Whit’s or Cold Stone Creamery, depending on participants’ endurance, Kovacs said. She said the bike-safety class isn’t a requirement for the bike ride that’s offered through the Gahanna Parks & Recreation Department. The bike ride is appropriate for adults and children ages 8 and older. Young children may participate on tag-alongs,

Continued from page A1 “It’s appropriate to leave the sign where it is,” she said. The commission also approved an electronic display for BP. The commission set a precedent with the Shell Oil station at Morse and Hamilton roads in recent years, so the request from BP isn’t unreasonable, Gard said. The name of the Granville Street gas station is being changed from the BP Duke & Duchess Shoppe to just Duchess Shoppe, Gard said. In other action, the commission recommended that council approve a final plat for office, commerce and technology zoning on about eight acres of land at 655 Tech Center Drive. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com
tandems and bicycle trailers with an adult captain. No pre-registration is required. Kovacs became a certified instructor in 2007 through the League of American Bicyclists. “It’s a national bicyclist advocacy organization,” she said. “My husband, David Jeffords, is also certified to teach. We teach adults and children.” The safety class is geared to youth up to age 14. “It’s about riding safely on the roads,” she said. “We’ll stick to residential streets, but if parents don’t want that, they can ride on the sidewalks.” In addition to riding with a helmet, Kovacs said, the main rule for bicyclists is to ride on the right side of the road with traffic. “Follow the same rules as if driving a car,” she said. “And don’t hug the curb. If you hug the curb, motorist will pass closely.” Gahanna recently installed bike/arrow pavement markings on Stygler Road, between Chapelfield Road and the southern intersection of Ridenour Road, that’s now designated as an on-street bike route, as shown on the city’s bikeway plan. The combination bike/arrow markings are a new pavement marking known as a “sharrow,” pronounced “SHARE-oh.” Sharrows indicate a shared lane in which both bikes and cars are to use. Bikes are permitted in all lanes on public roadways, but Gahanna is using the markings to improve awareness of the presence of bikes in a particular lane on a roadway that has been designated as a bike route. Last year, when Stygler Road was repaved, the city reduced the center two-way left-turn lane to 9 feet, thus widening the northbound and southbound lanes to better accommodate bikes.

Sonoco Plastics
Local tax break could secure new business for New Albany ThisWeek Community Newspapers
New Albany City Council on Aug. 2 considered tax incentives to help persuade Sonoco Plastics to build a 120,000-squarefoot production facility on 10 acres in the city’s personal-zcare and beauty campus. The project would have “a capital investment of approximately $14.6 million,” according to council’s legislative report, and would “create 60 new employees with an annual payroll of approximately $2.1 million.” Jennifer Chrysler, the city’s community development director, said the project would generate $42,000 a year for New Albany in income-tax revenue. “Sonoco is a company that has been in business for over a century,” she said. “This company has a reputation for innovation and quality. They are a great addition to the New Albany business park and, specifically, the personal care and beauty campus.” Council was expected to vote Aug. 2 to authorize the city manager to sign an agreement with the company for tax incentives. Visit ThisWeekNews.com for details of council’s vote. Chrysler said the company is

eligible for a 100-percent abatement on real property taxes for seven to 10 years. The length of the abatement would depend on how the building is constructed. Chrysler said the personal care and beauty campus encourages companies to use environmentally friendly technology. The city has developed a program called Environmental Criteria and Opportunity for Sustainability (ECOS), which gives companies in business park east credit for environmentally friendly construction. Chrysler said companies that earn 30 percent of the total credits available are eligible to receive an abatement for seven years. Companies that earn 45 percent or more of the credits can receive an abatement for 10 years. Sonoco Plastics was founded in 1899 and manufactures “in-

dustrial and consumer products.” It provides packaging services from 300 locations in 85 countries, according to the information from the state. The company has another facility in Columbus that supplies packaging for Ross Labs. But the project in New Albany is a new manufacturing facility. “This project will not negatively impact that (Columbus) facility and will be a complement to the other companies locating in the personal care and beauty campus,” the legislative report said. Sonoco already is eligible to receive state incentives if it builds in New Albany. The Ohio Tax Credit Authority on July 25 approved a 50-percent, 8-year tax credit on the company’s proposed annual payroll at the site. The incentive, called a job-creation tax credit, is valued at $297,198. The job-creation tax credit is refundable, which means Sonoco will pay all of its income taxes and be refunded 50 percent annually for the term of the incentive. To receive the credit, the company must agree to maintain operations on site for 11 years, according to information from the state. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

As it were
Early ‘lady journalist’ was a newsroom-savvy editor There are still a few places in American life where all of the work is done by people of one gender — modeling men’s or women’s clothing comes to mind — but there are not many. Most of the professions, trades and occupations in our society are practiced by women as well ED as men. LENTZ This is not to say that women are always treated the same in these lines of work. It is not too hard to find professions where women are still paid less than men. Why that might be the case, I will leave to writers about the current scene considerably wiser than I. Suffice to say, 100 years ago there were not all that many women working in the skilled professions outside the home. One of them was Elise Fitch Hinman. And while one might make the case that the kind of work she did was still in the throes of becoming a profession, no one ever said that Elise Fitch Hinman was not very good at what she did. And what she did was write professionally for a local newspaper in Columbus. To appreciate how remarkable this was at the time, we should probably take a quick look at the “newspaper trade” of a century ago. At the turn of the twentieth century, there was no radio, no television and the movies were still machines vaguely resembling an ATM into which one put a nickel to see flickering images of people doing presumably interesting things. Hence the name, nickelodeon. Most people got most of their news from newspapers. In Columbus in 1900, there were several to choose from. The town of more than 125,000 people had several daily papers and a number of weeklies as well. Most papers in that era professed a pronounced political viewpoint — in their news pages as well as their editorials. The Ohio State Journal was the official voice of the Ohio Republican Party. For many years, the old Ohio Statesman had done the same thing for the Democrats. It was gone by 1900. By that time, what would become the Columbus Press-Post was trying to be the Democratic paper. In the midst of these partisan struggles were, among other papers, the Columbus Dispatch and the Columbus Citizen. The newspaper trade was a tough business. Whole bundles of newspaper to be sold on one corner or another were sometimes stolen. Paperboys from one paper often literally fought for a lucrative corner with paper boys from another paper. And reporters — a rather hard-living crew — sometimes fought with their rivals from other papers with fists rather than words. The high point, or low point, depending on one’s point of view, of these conflicts had come in 1888 when the two Elliot brothers marched up High Street from the office of their newspaper and shot dead the editor of a competing paper in broad daylight. The brothers went to jail, but the
incident reminded people just how seriously newspaper people took their jobs. Into the midst of all of this came Elise Fitch Hinman. Born in 1863, Elise Hinman was almost 35 in 1898. Educated, literate and frankly a bit bored, she came from an old Columbus family and was looking for something to do. In 1898, she found it. Writing in 1911, she remembered her early career. Courtesy of Columbus Metropolitan Library “In the autumn of Elise Fitch Hinman circa 1911 1898, it became evident that a woman editor was needed on the staff of manuscript for publication. “Never have I forgotten the the Ohio State Journal, and the writer was invited to take that constant injunction, ‘Be brief, responsible position, with duties be brief, and evermore be brief.’ of the most varied description And my natural feminine tenincluding many which have since dency to carefully conceal the been specialized into separate meaning under many words has been effectively curbed. departments. “As the only woman in the ofHaving the usual feminine distaste for monotony, I had no com- fice, I learned to sharpen my own plaint to make of assignments pencils, to suppress sarcasm, to which covered art exhibitions, cultivate humor, to dress with concerts, lectures…and all or- neatness and severity, to omit ganizations for the women, of slang from my vocabulary and the women, by the women, for not to mind tobacco smoke. “Thus may one command the the women. “The Federation of Women’s trust and confidence of one’s felClubs moved upon Ohio just low-workers of the sterner sex.” Elise Fitch Hinman in her time then, and a skillful and never tiring promoter of that body lived was one of the best known in Columbus, who cajoled, co- women in Columbus.

Workshops aim to help owners of older homes By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Nothing wants to stay a house for long. Wood rots. Foundations subside. Paint peels. Metal rusts. Shingles slide. Lots and lots of other unpleasant and potentially expensive things can go wrong with the parts and pieces of a house. At the half-century mark, even the best-built home is going to show its age and require some tender loving care. Because much of the local housing stock falls into that category or is even considerably older, the Columbus Landmarks Foundation has been embarked on a local preservation initiative. The next in a series of “Old House DIY Workshops 2011” will take place on Saturday, Aug. 13, at the Community Properties of Ohio Training Facility, 933 E. Gay St. For $5, owners of older homes may attend a session from 9 to 11 a.m. to find out how to identify and resolve common maintenance issues. The fee for a session on wood restoration that afternoon from 1 to 5 costs $10. During the latter hands-on workshop, attendees will learn how to stabilize rotted wood, use wood consolidants and expoxies and prepare restored wood for painting. The workshops, entitled “Nuts and Bolts: the Basics of Home Maintenance,” are being put on with funding received from the United Way of Central Ohio and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, according Colum-
bus Landmarks Foundation executive director Kathy Mast Kane. “The premise being that if we, as owners, learned to do this routine maintenance and inspection, we prevent major expenses down the road and make home ownership more attractive,” Kane said last week. Nathalie Wright, a field representative for both the Columbus Landmarks Foundation and National Trust for Historic Preservation, is providing staffing for the initiative. The term “older homes” is loosely defined, according to Kane, but it generally refers to ones that are approaching 50 or possibly well beyond. That covers a lot of territory in neighborhoods such as Clintonville and in many of Northland’s subdivisions, Kane pointed out. “There are a lot of ranch subdivisions and they are approaching that 50-year mark,” Kane said. “Maybe the message is for residents in those neighborhoods — they may not be thinking of their homes as ‘older’ but truly, they are approaching a 50th birthday or are just past it. “It doesn’t have to be a turnof-the-century home for this to be applicable.” A home doesn’t even necessarily have to be even very old at all, the foundation executive director said. “The truth of the matter is, I believe these workshops would have pertinent content for owners of any home,” Kane said. Funding from the United Way and the National Trust helps hold down the costs of putting on the

by Greg VanHorssen A CHECK ON YOUR CHILD’S HEARING While parents can usually be counted upon to take their children for regular physicals, dental check-ups, and even eye exams, annual hearing checks are not on everyone’s list of pediatric exams. The fact is, however, that children need regular hearing tests to identify any hearing concerns before they lead to problems. With this in mind, the American Speech-LanguageHearing Association recommends that hearing tests should be performed prior to children starting school. Once children enter kindergarten, they should have annual hearing tests right through third grade. After that, the tests should be repeated when children are in the seventh and eleventh grades. A hearing test should also be prompted by concerns about a child’s language, speech, learning, or hearing capabilities. A child with undetected hearing loss may not be able to develop normal speech and language or acquire the cognitive abilities needed for learning. Children whose hearing loss is not identified until 2 or 3 years of age may suffer from permanent impairment of speech, language, and learning. If you are concerned about your child’s hearing, please call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS today at 614-654-4309. We are located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

Jeffrey L. Angart, D.D.S., created a distinct, stateof-the-art practice in New Albany where patients take an active role in their care.
A sealant is a clear or tinted protective coating that is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the back molars. Molars have grooves and crevices where food can get stuck and a toothbrush sometimes cannot reach. These pits and fissures create a perfect environment for cavities to form. Sealants help prevent decay by covering the crevices to prevent food from getting in them. Used in children and adults as a preventative measure, the procedure is quick and painless and can be completed in one office visit. The cost of applying sealants is typically less than repairing a cavity. The material usually will protect the tooth for upwards of 15 years and can be replaced after wear and tear. Be sure to schedule routine office visits with your dentist; he or she will examine the sealants during each appointment.

Football
Coaches face ‘delicate balance’ with scrimmages By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
On the way to its first losing season in 12 years last fall, an already young and undersized Ready High School football team was hindered further when it lost an expected two-way starter to a broken leg. The fact that Christian Knapper went down on the second play of the Silver Knights’ final preseason scrimmage to end his senior season virtually before it started was all the more painful. The 2011 preseason gets under way
Tuesday, Aug. 9, with a series of matchups that includes Grove City traveling to Upper Arlington and Gahanna playing host to Olentangy Liberty. From Aug. 9-20, coaches and players will compete in various scrimmages throughout central Ohio in preparation for the coming season. They’ll be crossing their fingers that they won’t face a similar situation to what the Silver Knights and Knapper did last fall. “Injuries like that usually are freak accidents where somebody twists somebody or gets pretzeled underneath a
pile,” Ready coach Larry Wolf said. “(Knapper’s injury was) where the kid tried to stop and cut. Most of the time freak injuries are a total accident where there’s no rhyme or reason to them. Our kids are well-conditioned and wellprepared and we just tell them to go out and play hard.” After three seasons in which his team stayed mostly healthy over the course of each season, DeSales coach Ryan Wiggins watched last year as several key regular-season injuries, including one to running back Warren Ball that lingered much of the fall, hindered his
team’s success. Like Wolf, however, Wiggins isn’t planning to keep his players from giving their best effort just to try to keep them from getting injured, and that includes when they’re competing in a preseason scrimmage. “It’s a delicate balance,” Wiggins said. “It always bothers me when a kid gets hurt in practice, but you’ve got to prepare physically. You’re trying to be smart when it’s your own guys, but when you play a different-colored jersey, you’ve just got to play. Usually when injuries occur they are freak things
and you can’t worry about them.” Most of central Ohio’s teams are competing in two scrimmages, although a few will play two scrimmages from Aug. 9-16 and a third that the OHSAA deems a “jamboree” scrimmage from Aug. 18-20. Because the OHSAA requires all schools to pay $250 to its Catastrophic Insurance Fund if they choose to compete in a third preseason game, schools may charge admission to the jamboree.

Commentary
Athletes share thoughts, advice For more than a decade, I have had student-athletes write in this summer series and the three questions that I enjoy hearing their responses from the most are what advice they would give to younger students who are beginning their sport, who their heroes are and what their future plans are LARRY at this time of LARSON their life. The final three weeks of this summer’s columns deal with those topics, beginning with the one on advice. As young people grow, they are faced with decisions on activities they might want to try. Whether it’s music, science, art, drama, sports or any other extracurricular activity, I highly urge them to give things a chance and see if it is the right fit for them. Here are suggestions from student-athletes who are among the best in the area, if not the state, at their sport. Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I would encourage the need to make sure you take responsibility for yourself in the sport. You can’t blame other people, coaches, parents, referees or other players for your downfalls and losses. Remember that there is a lot of time to play soccer and you have to keep the passion alive and keep teammates as the most important thing.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I would tell a young athlete in my sport to have a good head. Golf is just about the least amount of strokes, not what strokes may or may not look like.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Work hard at your sport. When it gets really tough, fight through it and keep going.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “You will experience failure and defeat. The key thing is this: If the endeavor was a defeat, it was also a learning experience. It does not make you a failure.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “No matter what happens, make sure you give it your all and don’t quit. Pole vaulting is not an easy sport, but when you become successful, you learn you can do anything.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “Try the sport because you like it and not because someone else wants you to try it. If you are not sure whether you will enjoy the activity, make sure you at least give it a try.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I would tell a young person beginning running to stay hydrated and always, always listen to what your body is trying to tell you during your

Darts roll to sweep at GCSL meet By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek
The Sea Lions’ Molly Wiedemann swims in the girls 8-and-under 25-meter breaststroke during the GCSL meet July 26.
Having to report to the Delaware Darts swimming practice at 7 a.m. five days a week this summer, Brooke Glesenkamp hasn’t had many opportunities to sleep in this summer. But after the Darts swept the junior and senior titles at the Greater Columbus Swim League championships July 22-26 at the Plain Township pool, she said the early morning practices paid off. “I get up early and do this because I love doing it,” said Glesenkamp, who competed in the girls 11-12 age group. “Sometimes I have to miss doing things with my other school friends, but I think getting the championship made it all worth it.” The Darts won the combined championship with a total of 3,121.5 points, finishing ahead of the Northwest Tigersharks (2,388.5), the Highland Otters (2,123.5), the Worthington Waves (1,979.5), the Westerville
Jaycee Poolcats (1,687.5), Olympic (1,632), the Plain Township Gators (1,180.5) and the Gahanna Sea Lions (960). Delaware captured its third consecutive junior title in the 6and-under, 7-8 and 9-10 age groups, scoring 1,357 points to finish ahead of Olympic (854.5), Highland (825.5), Westerville (799.5), Worthington (737.5), Northwest (720.5), Plain Township (580.5) and Gahanna (397). The Darts won the senior division, which consisted of the 11-12, 13-14 and 15-18 age groups, for the first time since 2004. Delaware compiled 1,764.5 points to finish ahead of Northwest (1,668), Highland (1,298), Worthington (1,242), Westerville (888), Olympic (777.5), Plain Township (600) and Gahanna (563). “This is the first time in our 33 years both the juniors and the seniors won the league meet,” said Darts coach Bill Rietz, who also coaches the Delaware Hayes High School swimming and diving teams. “I told the kids, ‘Just
because we won all (five of) the dual meets doesn’t mean we’re going to win the whole ball of wax.’” Glesenkamp seemed to take Rietz’s message to heart, as she placed first in the 50-meter backstroke (33.68 seconds), 50 freestyle (29.58) and 100 individual medley (1:13.65) and teamed with Ally Braun, Kristen Puthoff and Marissa Sulek to win the 200 free relay (2:06.28). All four times were team records. Others winners for Delaware in the senior division were Regan Dewitt in the 50 back (32.45) and Dewitt, Kara Miller, Allyson Fomich and Samantha Curtin in the 200 medley relay (2:12.44) and 200 free relay (1:56.62) in girls 13-14, Remy Curtin in the 50 breaststroke (41.04) and Curtin, Craig Klumpp, Mitchell Garnett and Connor Derstine in the 200 medley relay (2:37.24) in boys 11-12, Brittany Puthoff in the 100 breast (1:16.77) in girls 15-18 and Colby Brothers, Skyler See GCSL, page B2
Top Individual Performances: No. 2
Warriors’ Wilson ran to glory at state in ’98 By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Even before Ryan Wilson entered high school, his mother, Cynthia, got a glimpse of the kind of competitor who was emerging under her roof. “He might have been 12 or 13 years old, and he told me, ‘I’m going to go to the state track meet all four years in four events,” his mother said. “That’s exactly what he would do, and he scored in 14 of those 16 events.” Perhaps his greatest feat as a prep athlete occurred in the 1998 Division I state meet, as the Westerville North junior lived up to his own high expectations in many aspects, winning the long jump (23 feet, 1 inch) on the first day of competition and coming back on day two with titles in the 110meter hurdles (13.95 seconds) and 300 hurdles (37.1). Even with a weekend full of accomplishments, there was a disappointment that is just as memorable to Wilson: He had to settle for seventh place in the 200. See LARSON, page B2 Although athletes now receive two
points for finishing seventh and one point for eighth in an event, a different point system was in place at that time in which no points were given for seventh or eighth. The three titles he won that weekend gave North 30 points and a cochampionship in Division I with Brunswick. “The interesting thing is that what I remember most about it is the lesson I learned,” Wilson said. “The 200 was my last event and was definitely my weakest event. I had chosen to run the 200 instead of the (1,600 relay) that year and I remember I got seventh because I didn’t run all the way through the line. I remember when I watched the replay on the screen that someone was able to pass me right at the end. That extra point I didn’t get was what I remember the most because my team didn’t win the (outright championship).” Wilson’s performance in the 1998 By Mike Munden/The Columbus Dispatch state meet was part of one of the most remarkable prep careers of any cen- Ryan Wilson won three events — the long jump, 100-meter hurdles and 300 hurdles — in the 1998 Division I state meet, scoring all of Westerville North’s points to secure a share tral Ohio track athlete.

of the state title with Brunswick. The 1999 North graduate advanced to state in four events each of his four seasons, scoring in 14 of the events.

WILSON Continued from page B1 In 1996 as a freshman at Columbus Academy, he took second in the long jump, was fifth in the 110 hurdles and ran the anchor leg of the winning 1,600 relay in the Division III state meet. That performance followed a boys soccer season in which he helped the Vikings win the 1995 Division II state title. Wilson transferred to Westerville North midway through his sophomore season and immediately became a standout at the Division I track level. In the 1997 state meet, he took fourth in the long jump, fourth in the 110 hurdles and fourth in the 300 hurdles and helped the 1,600 relay finish third. In 1998, during the final state track meet held at Ohio Stadium, he was one of five North athletes competing but the only one who scored. The 3,200 relay of Nathan Aichele, Jared Conley, Jason Conley and Tyler Pensyl also represented the Warriors but didn’t place. In 1999 at Welcome Stadium in Dayton, Wilson defended his titles in the 110 hurdles (13.7) and 300 hurdles (36.46) and finished third in the long jump (23-7 1/4). He also competed in the 1,600 relay that failed to place. “It was amazing, watching Ryan perform the way that he did,” said Pensyl, who went on to run for Denison University and has been working for the law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease as an associate for five years. “He rose to the occasion. We only lost one meet all year, and we had a number of outstanding individuals. It really felt like a team championship and I thought it was a reflection of everything that we did that year.” According to Bob Cavin, who was North’s coach in 1998 and currently serves as an assistant football and track coach at New Albany, a now-famous T-shirt was produced after the first day of the state meet. On the front, the shirt read, “Get outta my way. I’m on Ryan Wilson’s team.” On the back, it read, “I made it to the state meet, too.” “It was a great team accomplishment and Ryan was just the leader,” Cavin said. “For Ryan to score all of our points, that was just the icing on the cake.” “Even though I happened to score all of the points, that was one of the best teams we’ve ever had,” Wilson said. “Even though it’s an individual sport, I still have a lot of friends from that team. That was the last meet in ‘The Horseshoe,’and I’m really proud I was able to be a part of people sending the track out in style.” Wilson comes from a family of track athletes. His brother, Glen, was a three-time state meet com-

MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57
petitor for Academy who later competed in track for Yale. His mother coached track in the 1980s and early 1990s, making stops at Columbus Central, Centennial and Academy, and remains a teacher at Academy. After Wilson graduated from North, he competed for the University of Southern California, winning an NCAA title in the 110 hurdles in 2003. He also was the bronze medalist in the IAFF World Athletics Final in 2008. Wilson has been a professional track athlete since 2004. In the USATF Outdoor Nationals on June 25 in Eugene, Ore., he finished 16th (13.52) in the semifinals of the 110 hurdles senior race as the top eight advanced to the final. He then traveled to Europe to compete in meets in Switzerland and France in July. He also was expected to travel to Sweden for a meet in late July. Now 30 years old, Wilson expects to continue competing professionally for at least two years and possibly as many as six. He has lived in Los Angeles since 1999. “It’s a lot of fun to compete in
points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the freethrow line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. 4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 4-1 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd. 3. GREG AVERY, Newark boys basketball (March 15, 2008) — Avery led the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory over Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game. The 6-3 senior forward tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals as the Wildcats captured their first state title since 1943. Avery made third-team all-state his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. He became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 points, finishing with 1,131 career points.
Europe,” he said. “It’s always nice to know that there’s a knowledgeable fan base over there that really appreciates you. It’s refreshing. I definitely feel fortunate to be able to travel like this, and I’m trying to enjoy the parts that I can. Not a lot of people are able to see the world like I have.” Although he’s competed in track meets in front of as many as 75,000 fans in Europe, the sheer magnitude of winning three state titles is something Cynthia Wilson believes will live on in the memories of track fans throughout Ohio. “The further you get away from it, the more you realize what a big deal it was, especially since it was in Division I,” she said. “It was the last time the meet was held at Ohio State, so that was fun, too. He’s always set all of these goals for himself and some of those goals have eluded him, but he’s been able to run at the highest levels. He loves the hurdles and he really loved Westerville North and loved coach Cavin and the support from the community.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

FOOTBALL Continued from page B1 Olentangy Orange opens its scrimmage schedule Aug. 13 against visiting Kings Mills Kings and plays host to Westland on Aug. 16 before playing host to Reynoldsburg on Aug. 19 in a jamboree. According to Pioneers coach Brian Cross, the scrimmage against Westland will be a “passing scrimmage.” Although both teams will have 11 players on the field unlike in the 7-on-7 passing tournaments during the summer, at least seven of every 11 plays will be passes. Cross considers it to be a sign of the times as teams continue to develop more complex passing offenses. Westland’s new coach, Steve White, was an assistant under Cross when the two were on the same coaching staff at Grove City. “I don’t know what other people are doing, but having two scrimmages when we tackle and run the ball is enough,” Cross said. “This gives us a chance to have the defense see more passing, and we’ll mix in a few draw plays.” While some teams prefer to play a neighborhood school that could bring unique intensity during their scrimmage opener, others will enter their first scrimmage with an eye on keeping it simple. Perennial playoff contender Eastmoor Academy and defending Division IV state champion Hartley will meet in the opening scrimmage for both teams Aug. 13 at Hartley. The matchup of East-side schools is one that Warriors coach Jim Miranda looks forward to because of the toughness that his team will get to face as it pre-

Other times, the 18-and-unders got cleaned out and the 10-and-unders would come through.” Joining Brunton and Byrns on the Columbus team were Westerville’s Ryan Wahl and Upper Arlington’s Will Reynolds in the boys 10-11 age group, Powell’s Chloe Sidick and Dublin’s Emma Ferguson in girls 10-11, Lancaster’s Colton Clark, Upper Arlington’s Alex Hulka and Westerville’s Jacob Kotik in boys 1213, Pataskala’s Lexi Steer and Dublin’s Reagan Resor in girls 12-13, Upper Arlington’s Ty Holsopple and Powell’s Austin Karbler (Olentangy High School) in boys 14-15, Hilliard’s Mary Anne Click (Columbus School for Girls) and Upper Arlington’s Anna Marie Reynolds in girls 14-15, Pickerington’s Patrick Yen (Pickerington North) and Upper Arlington’s Aaron Treglia in boys 16-17, Granville’s Alyssa Moreau and Westerville’s Paige Quinton (CSG) in girls 16-17 and Meghan Letizia (Dublin Coffman) and Upper Arlington’s Lauren Gerber (CSG) in girls 18-and-up. The players qualified for the Columbus team by finishing first or second in their respective age group in the Bernard Master Junior Satellite Circuit tournament held during the winter. In the Midwest City Team Tennis Championships, each player had to play one set of a singles match, doubles match and mixed-doubles match, with each match being worth one point. A team had to score more than 20 points to win the match. Columbus started the tournament by defeating Indianapolis Blue 32-8 and Chicago 22-18 and losing to St. Louis

Eric Brunton and his doubles partner, Blake Byrns, towered over the other members of the Columbus team in the Midwest City Team Tennis Championships on July 15-17 in Indianapolis. But according to the 6-foot2 Brunton, a Clintonville native and 2011 Watterson High School graduate, it was the younger, smaller players who stood tall as Columbus captured the team title. “It was nice to have won it, but to be honest, I wasn’t a huge factor,” Brunton said. “It was mostly the little kids who helped us win. I was definitely impressed with them. I know I wasn’t able to play that well when I was their age.” Columbus went 2-1 in the round-robin portion of the eightteam event and defeated Jasper, Ind., 24-16 in a semifinal and Indianapolis Red 28-12 in the final to win the championship outright for the first time in eight years. Columbus was comprised of 21 players in five age groups and coached by Jim Criswell, Scott Gerber and Max Quinton. “It was funny,” Criswell said. “We had Byrns from Westerville Central who is like 6-foot8 and then we had some guys on the 10-and-under squad who weren’t even 4 feet tall. I was going to get a picture of three or four of the 10-and-unders standing like a totem pole next to Blake. “You didn’t know from match to match who was going to step up. We had really strong 10-and-unders, but sometimes we ran into teams who had really good 10-and-unders and it’d be the 18-and-unders that

21-19 in round-robin play. Although three teams tied for first with identical 2-1 records, Columbus won its flight with 73 points, finishing ahead of Chicago (71) and St. Louis (69). Columbus’ 14-and-under players dominated in singles and mixed doubles, going 300. Click, Holsopple, Karbler and Reynolds each won all five singles and mixed doubles matches. Letizia went undefeated in the girls 18-and-under singles play and teamed with Gerber to win four doubles matches. Steer and Resor teamed to win four matches in 12-and-under doubles, and
Treglia and Quinton teamed to win four matches in 16-andunder mixed doubles. Criswell said what impressed him the most about his team’s performance was the team unity. “It didn’t matter what age group was playing, there was someone from our team there cheering the players on,” he said. “You would have a 10and-under (player) out there playing and there were the 18and-under boys cheering him on. It’s such a team-oriented thing.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio
FAB 5 By Jim Fischer
jfischer@thisweeknews.com
During The Beat’s interview
1 with Keith Roberts of The Young Dubliners (see bit on Dublin Irish festival, this page), we asked him how he holds up vocally during an especially busy stretch, in light of having had surgery on his vocal cords a couple of years back. First off, he told us, he’s been at this for so long, most nights for 20 years, he wasn’t concerned. Second, he said, was that his band is about the band, not about his voice. “I’m not going out there and doing a Josh Groban impression.” But never fear, Groban himself will be doing Josh Groban Friday, Aug. 5, at the Schottenstein Center. The tenor is touring in supJosh Groban port of his latest CD, Illuminations. Tickets are $86/$66. Call 1-800745-3000. Beneath Tab Benoit’s

snorting, firebreathing heart. The Beat is hardpressed to decide whether his ache is better expressed in his classic Bayou vocal delivery or his whine and wail on the six-string.

Everyone’s an O’. As in the wearing o’ the green or the raising o’ the wrist. The Dublin Irish Festival is three days (Aug. 57) o’ music and merriment (and lots of other stuff, but we’re primarily concerned with those two). Live entertainment on seven main stages, plus a handful of other dance, music and cultural programming, makes for a weekend with something for everyone. Dervish, Teada and the festival debut of Beoga for the traditionalists; Gaelic Storm, Scythian and The Young Dubliners (see our interview with frontman Keith Roberts at www.ThisWeekNews.com – we’ll be BeatBlogging from that interview as well) for the rockers; Moya Brennan or The Step Crew for something perhaps not quite as easily defined; plus the North Coast Pipe Band, Liz Carroll, the intimacy of the Celtic Music House, plenty of dancing, a host of local Celtic acts like Knot Fibb’n and Lone Raven … we could go on.

Genre-bending banjo 5 player Bela Fleck and his Flecktones mates Victor Wooten and Future Man reunited with original fourth member, harmonica player extraordinaire Howard Levy, a couple years back and the band is now touring in support of the original lineup’s first new record in almost 20 years. Fleck was kind enough to respond to some questions posed by The Beat in advance of the band’s Aug. 9 date at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion ($28/$32; 1-800-7453000) with Bruce Hornsby and his band. Read additional Qs and As in the BeatBlog.
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
The Beat: How have you felt about the Flecktones through the years — as a sort of home base musically or as one equal piece of each player’s larger puzzle? Bela Fleck: The Flecktones has been my most consistent musical outlet. I (along with Victor and Future Man) have played in this group for 24 years. And it is built around our strengths. Chick Corea talks about a band being like a mother ship for the members to orbit. That analogy may work. Sometimes we leave the mother ship for long periods but we always have come back. The Beat: It’s well documented that the lineup was originally assembled for a one-off gig. Can you explain how you put the players together and what triggered the idea to take it beyond that original plan? Bela Fleck: Originally, the band was put together to play for 30 minutes on a one-hour PBS show that I was fortunate enough to land. When we hit the stage the magic was palpable, and it gave all of us something to think about. I was playing in a band called New Grass Revival at that time, so it was hard to find time to get together till after Christmas. I put together four clubs for us to play, so we could see what happened. It got even better, so we decided to record. That album was picked up by Warner Brothers, and I left New Grass to go full time with the Flecktones. I could see that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Beat: Talk about reconnecting with Howard Levy and what he means to the Flecktones. Bela Fleck: Howard is a genius, and what he has done with harmonica in particular, is unprecedented. When Howard left, he was
very hard to replace, and the music changed a lot, and in some attractive ways. All the musicians who played with us over the next 17 years brought so much to the music. These four guys are the band that I put together. The music was really envisioned with these guys. And having Howard back completes the original intention of the group. So it is feeling great to all of us. The Beat: How is making Flecktones music the same and how is it different from when you started 20 or so years ago? Bela Fleck: The process was a bit different making the recording, since we were not on tour, rehearsing at sound-checks. But we fell quickly into our old rhythm of working together, and really agreed most of the time on what worked best. The Beat: How difficult is it to set list with the amount of material you have from which to draw? With Howard back will there be a greater emphasis on the first few records? Bela Fleck: The set list is fun. We are playing two-thirds of the music from the new album, and everything is from the first three albums. We have been mostly playing the same tunes from night to night, but that is because once the tour started, there hasn’t been much rehearsal time. As we continue, we will work up the rest of the new album, and some different old tunes. The Beat: Touring with Bruce Hornsby — can we expect plenty of cross-pollination in your sets? Bela Fleck: Yes, we intend to set up the stage so that both bands can be on stage simultaneously and anyone can sit in with anyone. Bruce and the Flecktones have a long and rich friendship, and we are all very happy to finally be doing a major tour together.
Harvest Pizzeria: New spot serves superlative pies On an opening-day visit, I was so blown away by the great pizzas and general sophistication of Harvest Pizzeria I couldn’t believe it had only been in business for a few hours. Ergo, I went back the very next day to confirm what I ate was in fact that sensational. Well, it was, and frankly it’s a good bet I’m perched on a seat there right now, buzzsawing through marvelous Harvest munchies while you’re reading this. Man, the German Village pizza scene has gone from famine to feast at warp speed. So what was formerly an area of town blessed with a wealth of terrific restaurants but cursed with a dearth of pizzerias is now home to the very best place to eat pizzas in Columbus. That’s because not only does Harvest crank out phenomenal ’zas, but from top to bottom, from its cute, Euro-ish patio to its tastefully
MENU by G. A. BENTON understated and hip, openkitchen-equipped dining room, Harvest exhibits extraordinary smarts and style. First of all, the building looks like an — and I never use this adjective — adorable brick cottage. Secondly, the non-pizza portion of the menu includes an engaging and non-cliche wine list; cocktails made with topnotch liquids; and excellently sourced, handmade appetizers and desserts. As a small plate, the WildCaught Galician Sardines ($8, but not on the menu the last time I went) ate like an elegant little salad. I loved its hefty hunks of white-fleshed and salmon-like fish, fresh fennel fronds, tender

lettuces and tongue-tinglingly citric dressing. But I had plenty more love to give when it came to the housemade Warm Ricotta ($8). Drizzled with balsamic vinegar plus lavender honey and brightened by lemon zest, this impressive, fresh-cheesy curd-fest tasted like the kind of Italian-style cheesecake you might eat in a real and real fancy Italian restaurant.
While far from bad, the House Chopped Salad ($9) suffered by comparison. Similarly, this colorful, crunchy and fun-to-munch ensemble had elements — salty and evanescent shaved ricotta salata curls and killer tomatoes from an owner’s Canal Winchester farm — that outclassed others (canned olives and chickpeas and iceberg lettuce). OK, those game-changing piz-
zas. I’ve eaten dozens of pizzas in Italy, where crust is king, and these Harvest pies are excitingly close to the real thing. They’re thin and delicate in the center but sexily puffy, charred and woodsmoke scented on their perfectly chewy edges. Yet whereas crusts and the (crushed-tomatolike) house sauce are classically Italian, toppings are up-to-theminute chic American. Here are a few highly recommended pies I tried. • Ohio Bacon ($14): Slightly sweet and salty, this beauty contained: Canadian-style bacon made with Ohio swine, milky fresh mozzerella, roasted red peppers and a garnish of superfresh marjoram. • Goat Cheese ($15): Thinly sliced sopressata (lusty salami), Ohio goat cheese, caramelized onions and lots of jammy oven-blistered tomatoes make this pizza soar.
Harvest Pizza Address: 495 S. 4th St., German Village Phone: (614) 824-1769 Web: harvestpizza.com
• Yuma ($13): This zesty, Southwestern model’s designed for spice lovers because its smoky chipotle-accented sauce strikes fire with jalapenos and clumps of chorizo; corn, havarti cheese and roasted red peppers tame the flames a bit. • Fennel Sausage ($15): Rich, sharp and bold with local gouda, smoked provolone, excellent sausage, onion and fennel pollen. Homemade desserts can wow too, such as the surprisingly fancy Butterscotch Budino ($6). Kinda like a dense pudding parfait with a lovely — and barely sweet — scorched sugar character, it has tart creme fraiche plus toasted hazelnuts and vanilla-scented Maldon sea salt for extra depth and texture.
Latest Bethel Road restaurant puts emphasis on sushi Yun Hui “Yumi” Wada wouldn’t put her new restaurant in just any area of town. But Northwest Side residents have shown their fondness for sushi and other Asian fare, so she’s comfortable opening her new, sophisticated Japanese restaurant in the busy Bethel Road corridor. “A lot of people here know how to eat sushi,” she said. And Wada will put their appetites to the test with her latest venue, Aoi, which opens Aug. 8 at 876-878 Bethel Road. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, the restaurant will offer all-you-can-eat sushi
— maki rolls, nigiri and sashimi — for $29. Aoi, meaning blue in Japanese, is a big-ticket venture that transformed the 5,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Einstein Bros. Bagels and Boston Market, a move that required Wada had to get a rezoning for the property. The interior features two distinctive dining rooms. One is the bar area, with a granite bar that seats 15 and another 100 or so in a casual space that will offer TV sets, eight beers on draft and deejay-spun music seven days a week. The other room is a more formal dining area, with an extended blue granite sushi bar and also seating for 100. Indeed, the immediate area is flush with sushi options, including Akai Hana, Basho, Yoshi’s and Blue Ginger. Wada said the demand is obvious, so she’s not worried about saturation. She will have four sushi chefs so customers can avoid By Chris Parker/ThisWeek long waits. The bill Yun Hui “Yumi” Wada is opening Aoi, a Japanese restauof fare also will inrant with a focus on sushi, at 876-878 Bethel Road. clude tempura,
teriyaki, katsu and noodle dishes, all competitively priced, she said. However, hibachi will not be offered. The restaurant has made use of a leftover drive-through window, but orders must be placed 30 to 60 minutes in advance. Wada and her family are the operators of three successful restaurants: two Genji Japanese steakhouses and San-Su, a Korean barbecue that Wada opened earlier this year on Bethel Road. Wada said they will soon start construction on Genji Go, a takeout restaurant on Brice Road. Aoi will be open lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (614) 824-2664. Speaking of Bethel Road, Buckeye Pho Asian Restaurant is slated to open next month in the Olentangy Plaza. The owner is Max Tat, a Spagio and Molly Woo alumnus and classically trained chef. It will become one of three restaurants on Bethel that specialize in Pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup. The other two are Bamboo Café and Lac Viet. A key difference: Buckeye Pho also will offer a full Chinese menu. The restaurant is just around the corner from the new Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
Belle’s Bread will replace Crescent Bakery in the Kenny Center. Takashi Takenaka, who www.ThisWeekNews.com/foodandwine also owns Akai Hana and Tensuke Market in the center, said Etiquette expert Nora Cline his new Japanese café is slated to open in October.
