Transmission headquarters

AEP will move facility to New Albany

By LORI WINCE THISWEEKNEWS.COM American Electric Power is moving its transmission headquarters to New Albany, next door to its central operations center on Smith’s Mill Road. Dennis Welch, the company’s executive vice president and chief external officer, said AEP has outgrown one of the two buildings on Morrison Road in Gahanna. The company is expected to move employees from Gahanna to New Albany when the 195,000-square-foot facility is built within two years, said Jennifer Chrysler, New Albany’s community-development director. Chrysler said the total number of jobs on site is expected to reach 600. That includes 100 employees who currently work in the operations center. The 83,500-square-foot operations center opened in May 2008, according to the company’s website. Welch said AEP recently purchased 35 acres east of the site, which is where it

will build the transmission headquarters. Two buildings will have a secure connection, Welch said. New Albany City Council on April 14 unanimously approved an incentive package for the project that includes: • A 100 percent, 15-year real property-tax abatement valued at $7.2 million. • An income-tax credit for creating health and wellness programs valued at $1.5 million. • A sustainability grant of $250,000 from the city’s economic-development fund to achieve LEED certification for the building. • A $100,000 training grant from the city’s economic-development fund. Four members of New Albany City Council were present for the vote: Mayor Nancy Ferguson, Glyde Marsh, Mike Mott and Sloan Spalding. Chrysler said AEP is investing $39 million in project, which is expected to generate $1.16 million annually in incometax revenue. That is based on the estimated $58 million annual payroll.

Chrysler said the city shares revenue from income taxes collected in that area with four entities. According to City Council’s legislative report: • The New Albany Community Authority, which helped build infrastructure in the business park, will receive 30 percent or $348,000. • The Licking Heights school district will receive 27.5 percent or $319,000. • The city of Columbus, which provides water and sewer services to the properties, will receive 15 percent or $174,000. • The city of New Albany will retain 27.5 percent of $319,000. Chrysler said having AEP as a partner in the community has helped bring in other businesses because AEP helped to extend fiber-optics lines in the city, which also are maintained by AEP. AEP also partnered with the city on its renovations at High and Main streets in the past two years, helping fund the burial of utility lines at that intersection. lwince@thisweeknews.com

New Albany-Plain Local

November levy request possible

By LORI WINCE THISWEEKNEWS.COM

The NewAlbany-Plain Local school board and the financial review and reporting committee are expected in May to talk about a potential levy for the November ballot. The district’s last operating levy was approved Nov. 6, 2012. Issue 50 included a 2.59-mill

Construction of a roundabout at Market and Main streets in New Albany is expected to begin May 26. New Albany City Council agreed Jan. 7 to approve a plat for the roundabout at the intersection in anticipation of the New Albany Co. retail building opening this fall and the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany opening early in 2015. City Councilman Glyde Marsh was the only member to vote against the roundabout. He has been an opponent of roundabouts for several years because he says they create accidents. He lives just north of a roundabout at Morse and Reynoldsburg-New Albany roads. A traffic study completed by

the city recommended a roundabout. The alternate choice was to add two to three lanes at the intersection. City officials structured the roundabout at Market and Main – also known as Johnstown Road and U.S. Route 62 – to accommodate pedestrians. In January, deputy community-development director Adrienne Joly said city officials consulted with Mark Johnson of MTJ Engineering of Madison, Wis., and learned that the roundabout could be considered safe if it were designed correctly. Joly said lanes must be kept narrow – not more than about 12 feet wide – to keep traffic from moving faster than 15 miles per hour through the intersection. The design also includes

bond issue to generate $45.1 million and a 4.24-mill continuous operating levy to generate $3.51 million annually. The bond issue is paying for construction of the 2-8 building between the 2-5 elementary building and New Albany Middle School and other site improvements, including a new

Village Hall in line for a facelift, inside and out By LORI WINCE THISWEEKNEWS.COM

New Albany will give Village Hall a facelift this summer by repairing brick steps at the west entrance and replacing some of the furnishings in City Council chambers. City Manager Joseph Stefanov said it is time for maintenance at the 14-year-old building. The west-side steps have been blocked for several weeks after

OPEN HOUSE

the bricks deteriorated to the point they were unsafe for foot traffic. Last month, Stefanov showed NewAlbany City Council plans prepared a few years ago by Columbus design firm MKSK that would reduce the amount of brick at the west entrance, narrowing it to a T-shape and adding benches on either side of the walkway up to the steps. Stefanov said city officials currently are reviewing all landscaping around Village Hall. They plan to replace some bushes and trees that are not getting enough sunlight, he said. Stefanov said the city set aside $20,000 in the 2014 budget for the outdoor improvements. He said if the improvements cost more than budgeted, he would have to ask New Albany City Council for more money. Inside Village Hall, painting will be done as needed and City Council chambers will get a new look. Cracked sound panels, worn carpeting and chairs – many of which have a slight bend in the legs – will be

replaced. Stefanov said he hopes to add a wired line to the speaker’s podium, thus eliminating the need for the battery-operated microphone currently used by speakers. He also wants to upgrade the recording system, which would eliminate the need to change CDs during a meeting. Stefanov said two unusable doorways on the north side of the building, behind the City Council dais, need replaced. Only one of the three doorways on that side of the building is usable. The other two, which were installed as windows, do not have a threshold. Water around the bottom of the doors has caused them to rot, meaning they will have to be replaced, Stefanov said. The city budgeted $350,000 for all the repairs, which includes the $20,000 for exterior work, said city spokesman Scott McAfee. Stefanov said he hopes to go to bid on the project in the next week. lwince@thisweeknews.com

The contractor used the chain and lock to secure the ladders together and left them in the locked home, the police report said. Police found no forced entry to the home.

bus loop and reorientation of several building parking lots. The operating levy was expected to keep the district in the black through fiscal year 2015, district officials have said. In 2008, district voters approved a 24.4-mill permanent operating levy to collect $21.7 million per year. It is a continuing levy, which was the first for the district. District spokesman Patrick Gallaway said the school board in 2012 asked for a smaller operating levy and told voters to review the district’s progress in two years. He said school board members said they wanted voters to see results and see what the district is achieving before they are asked for more funds. “That two-year cycle is now here,” Gallaway said. Treasurer Rebecca Jenkins told the FRRC on April 21 the district’s estimated ending cash balance for fiscal year 2015 is $5.8 million and the district is projecting a deficit at the end of fiscal year 2016. Jenkins said the district has

A 7-year-old girl reportedly was bitten by one of two dogs, which belong to a neighbor. The dog bit the girl’s thigh and broke the skin, the police report said. Franklin County Animal Control arrived and cited the dog owner for failing to control the two dogs, which are Australian blue heelers. Because it was not determined which dog bit the girl, both dogs were declared dangerous, the report said.

funneled permanent improvements – such as bus and textbook replacements – into the general fund since the last permanent improvements levy expired in December 2009. She said other expenses that would have been funded by a permanent improvements levy, such as building maintenance, are part of a capital-improvements plan being developed this year. Superintendent April Domine said the capitalimprovements plan includes projected maintenance and replacement costs for existing assets. FRRC member Dave Demers lamented that the 2-8 building would not be fully functional in November if the district decides to move forward with a levy. Domine said one wing of the building would be open in the fall and will accommodate the district’s anticipated growth for the 2014-15 school year. The rest of the building is expected to open in January. She said the district decided to open only part of the building this year to save on overtime labor costs.

Community lectures

Kearns Goodwin, Glenn ROUNDABOUT up next in Jefferson Series FROM >> A1

By LORI WINCE THISWEEKNEWS.COM The Jefferson Series of community lectures continues May 20 with author Doris Kearns Goodwin and June 12 with astronaut and politician John Glenn at New Albany’s Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts. The new series organized and sponsored by the New Albany Community Foundation began Feb. 5 with a chat between two successful businessmen: Leslie Wexner of New Albany and T. Boone Pickens of Texas. “We were inspired by the success of A Remarkable Evening, our annual fundraiser,” said Craig Mohre, executive director of the New Albany Community Foundation. “We wanted to extend that model, hold it in the McCoy and make it much more accessible.” The community foundation hosts speakers for A Remarkable Evening at the Leslie and Abigail Wexner estate. The Wexners underwrite the event, which allows money raised to benefit foundation initiatives and local programs sponsored by the foundation. In past years, the event speakers would talk to high school students during the day and

Charlie Doris Kearns Rose Goodwin media access was given to the evening fundraiser.The past two speakers, former President Bill Clinton and former British Prime MinisterTony Blair, were unable to speak to the students and the evening fundraiser was closed to media. Mohre said both Kearns Goodwin and Glenn will meet with high school students in the day and then speak to the community in the evening. Kearns Goodwin is a presidential historian and Pulitzerprize winning author who served as an assistant to President Lyndon Johnson in his final year in the White House and helped him write his memoirs, according to a press release on the event. Mohre said her lecture was close to being sold out last week. Only a handful of tickets remained earlier this week. Glenn is an Ohio native who attended Muskingum University in New Concord before

John Glenn earning his pilot’s license and entering the U.S. Marines in 1943, the same year he married his wife, Anna. He was a Marine test pilot for several years, becoming the first American to orbit the earth on Feb. 20, 1962. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1974 and returned to space in 1998, becoming the oldest person to have flown in space, according to the release. Glenn will be interviewed by journalist Charlie Rose, who is known for his PBS show. “I think he’s one of the most respected moderators out there,” Mohre said. He said there were several tickets to the John Glenn lecture still available. Both lectures will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $36.35 and $23.90 for adults and $7.55 for high school or college students.They are available at mccoycenter.org. lwince@thisweeknews.com

medians on the north and south sides of the intersection, which will allow pedestrians to cross one lane of traffic before stopping, and then cross the second lane to reach the other side of Main Street. Secondary pedestrian crossings farther north and south of the roundabout are also in the plan. Those could include crossing signals, if necessary, city officials have said. City spokesman Scott McAfee said the construction is expected to be completed in August. He said the opening would not affect the May 17 Founders Day celebration, which includes a parade that typically travels on Market and Main streets. However, McAfee said, the Fourth of July parade, which will be held on Friday, July 4, will have to use another route. During construction, the suggested detour for people heading north will be to take Morse Road to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road to Dublin-Granville Road. The detour would be the reverse for travelers heading south. McAfee said the roundabout is estimated

to cost $4 million. It is being funded by the New Albany Co., which will be reimbursed through the Village Center tax-increment financing district. A TIF is an economic development mechanism available to local governments to finance public infrastructure improvements and, in certain circumstances, residential rehabilitation, according to the Ohio Department of Development. A TIF works by locking in the taxable worth of real property at the value it holds at the time the authorizing legislation was approved. McAfee said the Village Center TIF includes the retail building the New Albany Co. is constructing at the northwest corner of Market and Main streets and one of the company’s residential developments, Straits Farm, which includes 51 empty-nester homes being built east of the intersection on Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road, south of Maplewood Cemetery. McAfee said New Albany City Council is expected to review the agreement between the city and the New Albany Co. for the roundabout construction at a regular meeting in May.

Just Thinking

My life in ruins of my making

The second time I spilled my latte, I thought of an email my daughter sent me several years ago. “The second time I fell down in Kroger ... ” the email began. The first time she went down, my daughter wrote, store employees and customers rushed to her aid. They were extremely concerned and nodded politely as she blamed the wet floor (it was raining outside) and her impractical heels. But she was just fine, she assured everyone. When she fell again – because after all, the floor was still wet and she was still wearing the shoes – people were less solicitous. They looked at her warily, the way a baby looks at a jack-in-the-box whose lid is about to fly open. They chose another aisle when they saw her coming, the supermarket equivalent of crossing the street. “I’m still fine!” my daughter wanted to call after them. But chasing strangers around a grocery store to tell them you’re normal is no way to appear, well, normal. All my daughter could do was finish shopping as quickly as a person mincing around taking short, cautious steps can. This brings us to my recent experiences with spilled coffee drinks. I had brought a large latte into the office with me, as I always do, and mere seconds after I set the cup down my right arm caught it on the backswing and launched it off my desk with the force of a mechanical pitching machine. Had its trajectory been higher, it might have left the atmosphere altogether. Instead, it plunged to earth, or rather to my desk and the carpet underneath it. The resulting mess reminded me of a moment years ago, just after the aforementioned older daughter, then 9 and home from school with the flu, threw up on the bed I had made for her on the couch. Without going into grisly details involving sofa cushions and the cracks in between them, imagine what happens when a volcano erupts. Lava wants to flow into every nook and cranny of the landscape, governed only by slope and gravity. Now as then, I paused to absorb the magnitude of the job before me. I couldn’t imagine where to begin. To stanch the latte flow, I seized gobs of paper towels, sopping up the outside of my desk, the inside of two drawers, the carpeting on which an enormous beige amoeba was steadily expanding, and as many of the desk’s interior corners and crevices – corners and crevices now rushing with lukewarm rivulets – as I could reach. All the while, I explained to my colleagues that I’d whacked the cup

MARGO BARTLETT

accidentally, that I’d forgotten it was there, that I was a dumbbell. My colleagues were as silent as an audience watching a mime after being led to expect Bruce

Springsteen. A little later, and not without sheepishness, I bought another latte, which I placed on a different part of my desk, thinking to protect it from my apparently flailing primary arm, only to whap it from the other direction a few seconds later. This time, the cup rocked maniacally on its edges for several suspenseful seconds, splashing some of its contents but ultimately remaining upright. Still, I could see the effect this second near accident had on my colleagues. One of them spoke my name the way he might have had he glanced up to see me bleeding from the eyes. Without comment beyond a few frustrated yelps, I got busy blotting these new puddles. (By now I was nearly out of paper towels.) As I worked, I recalled yet another moment, this one at the bank several years ago. I had stopped in to cash a check. Some of the money was deposited in my checking account while some was to be given to me in cash. In my eagerness to finish this boring errand and get on to the next one, I almost walked away from the teller’s window without taking the money. “Oh! I’d have been really annoyed if I’d forgotten that,” I told the bank worker, who gazed at me seriously. “Are you all right?” she asked after a pause. Well. I, having expected a smile and some cheerful comment in return, was struck silent. Was I all right? Was I all right? That’s what I asked myself as I went about the rest of my day. In some respects, I’ve been asking it ever since. Am I all right? I have a reputation as a flappyhanded person who makes messes every time she turns around. I’m the human equivalent of a dog with an undisciplined tail, the person whose friendly comments cause strangers to reach for the hidden security button. Am I all right? The next time I’m asked that I’ll tell the truth. “Probably not,” I’ll say. And then I’ll make sure I have enough paper towels for whatever cleanup lies ahead.

As it were

To natives, city was crossroads community With its location near the middle of the state, it should not be surprising that Columbus has become something of a crossroads community in the course of its more than 200-year history. The crossing of two major highways – Interstates 70 and 71 – is only one of the more recent examples in a long history of being in the center of things. In the years after colonial settlement, a number of frontier trails from nearby communities of greater or lesser size converged in the area. With the establishment of Columbus as the state capital in 1812, growth was slow at first. But then with the arrival of the National Road and a branch of the Ohio and Erie Canal in the 1830s, central Ohio began to attract a lot of new people. Some were previous residents of the North and the South. Others were recent immigrants from Western Europe. With the increasing pace of urban life in the 20th century, the number of new arrivals to Columbus increased as well. Today, the city is quite a cosmopolitan place with people from literally dozens of foreign countries and every part of the United States calling this their home. With all of this diversity and complexity, one might not be blamed for looking back with some nostalgia to a time before European settlement, when only a village or two of Native Americans lived here in a simple frontier lifestyle. And, of course, it was not that way at all. Central Ohio has been a very busy place for a long time. About 500 years before the current era, permanent Native American villages began to be established here. What followed was the emergence over the next 1,000 years of highly organized and sophisticated societies that came to be collectively called “The Mound Builders.” At one time, dozens of mounds and

earthen enclosures dotted the landscape of central Ohio. One notable mound more than 40 feet tall stood at the intersection of what is now Mound and High streets. ED It is not hard to see why people settled here and LENTZ stayed here. Columbus is roughly halfway between Lake Erie and the Ohio River and is located where two major rivers come together. From this place, one could easily travel in many directions across what is now the state of Ohio. In time, the day of the Mound Builders came to an end. But central Ohio remained a place where many different people continued to come together. The era of the “historic” Native American tribes was about to begin. From about 1600 to 1650, the Ohio Country experienced something of a new beginning. The powerful Iroquois nation swept out of NewYork and virtually annihilated several of the Native American communities then resident in Ohio. Claiming this land as their own, the Iroquois held much of what is now Ohio for several decades. An increased presence by both British and French traders and settlers drew many of the Iroquois back to their homeland, while others remained in what is now eastern and northeastern Ohio. Some of the remaining people from the Seneca nation of the Iroquois confederacy were called “Mingoes.” By the 1770s, a major Mingo village was located where the Arena District is today. And it was not alone. From the South, the Shawnee arrived and settled along the lower reaches of the Scioto River, but with villages as far north as Columbus.

Similarly, the Wyandot nation moved south from Michigan and Indiana into central Ohio. Wyandot villages could be found as far south as what is now Dublin, Hilliard and Upper Arlington. Moving across Pennsylvania, the Delaware arrived in eastern and north central Ohio in this same period and would eventually give Delaware County its name. In the years before the American Revolution, all of these people – as well as small groups from other native nations – lived in close proximity to one another and in peace in central Ohio. Linking the diverse villages was a series of trails and paths. One of the major ones was the Scioto Trail, which ran from Lake Erie to the Ohio River along the Scioto River and passed through what is now downtown Columbus. In 1871, Joseph Sullivant spoke to a gathering of the Franklin County Pioneer Society. The son of pioneer surveyor and town builder Lucas Sullivant remembered what he had been told as a child by men who had been captives of native peoples. “There were three Indian encampments or villages in this vicinity; one on the High Bank near the old Morrill House, one and half miles below the city, from which the party was sent out to capture my father and his party on Deer Creek, in 1795; one at the west end of the Harrisburg Bridge; and the principal on the river below the mouth of the Whetstone (Olentangy).” Within a few years after the American Revolution, all of those villages were gone and new people were arriving at what is still our crossroads community. Local historian and author Ed Lentz writes the As it were column for ThisWeek News.

SCHOOLS

School board tours new facility for 1,200 students By LORI WINCE THISWEEKNEWS.COM New Albany-Plain Local school board members April 14 visited the construction site of the new school building between the 2-5 elementary building and New Albany Middle School. They stopped by just a few hours before the New Albany Architectural Review Board approved the district’s request to change the high school parking lot. The two-story, 150,000-

square-foot building will be for 1,200 students in grades 2-8. It will have more open space inside for teachers and students to collaborate on projects and it includes different types of teaching areas, such as minilabs and a rooftop garden. School board President Mark Ryan said board members could see the differences and get a feel for how open the space is as they walked through the building. “It’s definitely more open than the other buildings, which was the goal,” Ryan said.

Board member John McClelland called the new facility “impressive” and said it is interesting to compare it the 2-5 elementary building, which is roughly the same size. “Thinking about the 1,200 kids who will be in here eventually, that’s what gets me excited,” McClelland said. Board member Mike Klein agreed. “I think about the kids and the opportunities they are going to have through the years as they come and go ... in this building,” Klein said.

SuperintendentApril Domine wore a smile during the tour, even when trying to navigate the skinny set of metal stairs providing temporary access to the second floor until the permanent staircases are in place. “It’s amazing to see the whole vision come to life,” Domine said. “I can see the walls and I can see kids in here. It’s going to be a very exciting educational space.” District officials have said the new building should handle projected growth through the 2020-21 school year. They expect to open 12 classrooms in the new building by the start of the 2014-15 school year and the rest by January. The district is using funds from a $45.1 million, 2.59-mill bond issue local voters approved in November 2012 to finance the construction. The district also received a $1.5 million grant from the New Albany Community Foundation, $1 million of which was donated by Leslie and Abigail Wexner and the rest by an anonymous donor. The project includes a separate gymnasium and several site upgrades to improve traffic flow on the campus. The New Albany Architectural Review Board on April 14 unanimously approved upgrades to the NewAlbany High School parking lot. Kevin Harrison of the Harrison Planning Group said the improvements are designed to prevent cars from stacking on Fodor Road when school is in session. He said the plan is to require cars picking up and dropping off students to enter the lot at the main entrance off Fodor Road, the one closest to Dublin-

Granville Road. Motorists would have to turn right (south) in the parking lot and follow the loop where it turns north again. That north stretch in front of the mini-theater will be modified to include two lanes. Cars then would be funneled north to the exit from the student parking lot in front of the football stadium, or they could continue south through the student parking lot and exit at the main entrance. ARB members requested the district use proper signs to direct the vehicles. The district’s plans originally removed the driving loop around the large median west of the

gymnasium at the main entrance to the lot and reserved those lanes for emergency vehicles only. The plans included fourinch-high curbs that would discourage cars from traveling around the median loop, which fills with cars when parents are waiting to pick up children. ARB members requested the plan be changed to remove the curbs so parents could use parts of the loop after school hours. The ARB also agreed to let the district add more parking spaces south of the high school parking lot and north of the stormwater retention pond, which is not part of the district’s plans at this time. lwince@thisweeknews.com

BalletMet Columbus closes its season, artistic director Edwaard Liang’s first, with a dazzling program of works new to Columbus and, in one case, totally new. The world premiere of Liang’s new of Heaven and Earth features two grand pianos and music by Rachmaninoff. Liang called choreographer Gustavo Ramirez Sansano “brilliant,” and his 18 + 1, set to music by mambo king Perez Prado, “lighthearted and beautiful.” Finally, Liang said it was a “coup” to be able to stage Christopher Wheeldon’s Carousel (A Dance). Liang’s intent with this program is to show how music informs dance and how dance enhances music. New Directions/New Works will be presents April 25 through May 3 in the Capitol Theatre. Tickets start at $25. Visit balletmet.org. Patty Larkin’s road to becoming one of the foremost singer-songwriters of her time was a combination of nature and nurture. Nature came courtesy, in particular, of her grandmothers, both of whom played piano, often while young Patty was standing underneath the keyboard, absorbing the music via at least three of her senses. Sure, that’s nurture, too, but she topped off her musical experiences with a degree in English literature. All the better a foundation for this

Patty Larkin will perform Friday, April 25, in the Lincoln Theatre.

Self-taught songwriter happy with road she’s taken Jessica Hernandez, who heads up the Detroit garagesoul outfit Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas, admits that when she was getting her start writing songs, she didn’t know what she was doing. She also insists – and makes a good case for it – that this was a good thing. Hernandez grew up in Detroit, her mother a Detroiter herself and her father a native Cuban. Both parents were music lovers and “exposed me to a wide variety of stuff,” from Led Zep-

pelin, Pink Floyd,Yes and Elton John (dad) to The Cure, The B-52’s and Joy Division (mom). Additionally, her grandparents grew up in Detroit, from the early years through the height of Motown. “They would tell me how all these classic Motown bands – The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations – would play at their high school,” Hernandez said, adding she has never played a high school prom gig. As a musician and songwriter, Hernandez is self-

taught. She had no frame of reference for how things were done, and a wide variety of musical influences from which to draw inspiration. “I just went wherever I felt was right, and I was definitely all over the place. Every song had a different feel. I didn’t know what I was doing.” The outcome? “That’s the style I’ve developed. Now you find all of those influences in every song,” she said. A desire to have folks hear those songs led first to finding

friends and friends of friends within the Detroit music scene who were willing to share not just this musical amalgam but also the life of an itinerant rock band. Once this was accomplished (The Deltas include some of Detroit’s finest jazz, blues and rock players), heading out on the road became the next logical step. “Touring is what gets your songs out there. The way I want to do it – organic – is to take it to the people, meet people, Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas play the Rumba Cafe Friday, even if there’s only five that April 25. Hey Hercules opens.

La Tavola’s fare pleases palate at nice prices Hopefully, the third time’s a charm for La Tavola. I know I was charmed by it – and so were swarms of other Grandview Heights-alighting diners last week, digging the new La Tavola’s soulful, carefully sourced and scratch-made Italian food whipped up by talented chef/owner Rick Lopez. That name might ring a dinner bell, because Lopez (with baker, partner and wife, Krista) recently closed Knead Urban Diner. But Lopez has been localfocused, hardworking and earning loyal followers like me through previous gigs at Tapatio, Crescendo and two earlier iterations of La Tavola. Yeah, the guy gets around.

And you should get around to La Tavola, where beautiful pastas are made by hand, and so is the furniture. Occupying a bright and cheerful, mid-sized space with handsome custom-built booths and chair rails (crafted from nearby reclaimed wood), La Tavola sports distinct floral wallpaper that practically smiles at

you, its green and yellow tones rhyming with the place’s paint. Professional-comporting servers might wear ties, but La Tavola’s vibe is disarmingly casual, even raucous and seriously loud when crowded. Currently there are draft beers from Four String, Revolution, Bell’s and Peroni (best deal: $13 pitchers), but plans and (attention Grandview voters!) ballots are being arranged for wine and

Neapolitan-style pies speciality at Pizza Cucinova Pizza is a funny thing: so many types of sauce, toppings and dough styles. The pizza business, well, that’s more of a tricky thing, trying to satisfy the diversity of tastes. Pizza Cucinova, a relatively new player on the Columbus scene, is trying to appeal to an emerging segment of customers: pizza gourmets. “Pizza is a very regional product and that’s not a bad thing,” said David Karam, CEO of Sbarro, of which Pizza Cucinova is a subsidiary. “And, really, it’s going through a lot of changes. The growth segment is with the artisan pizza. I don’t want to say it’s new; it’s a true Neapolitan style.” Pizza Cucinova, which got its start seven months ago in Easton Town Center, recently opened a new store at 1187 Olentangy River Road. As with the original location, it is 3,200 square feet and seats 90. The new store also has a 20-seat

patio. Karam said he likes the location: Close to Ohio State University, Grandview Yard and other new developments. “I think it’s a great area,” he said. “The demographics there are really good.” The concept, from food to service, is based on a now-popular fast-casual model in the style of Chipotle: customers order their customized pizza, which is cooked in less than 3 minutes, or just about the time they reach the cash register. To accomplish that, much attention was focused on the dough, which is tossed in house using double-zero flour, with no sugar or olive oil added, making it very light. The dough absorbs an enormous amount of water that allows it to be cooked quickly at a high temperature – above 700 degrees in this case. Customers choose from 30 traditional and custom toppings, such as fontina cheese, soppressatta, grilled sirloin, shrimp,

fennel and arugula. There also are 10 signature pies from which to choose. “It’s good for lunch. It’s good for dinner,” Karam said. “It’s a light pizza with good toppings.” Gourmet salads round out the menu. Beer and wine are served at the restaurant. All pizzas are 12 inches and range in price from $6.75 to $11.15. Over the next month, 10-inch pies will be introduced and will be $1 to $3 cheaper per pizza, Karam said, making it more attractive to the lunch crowd. With local brands such as Tommy’s, Iacono’s, Donatos and Massey’s dominating the local consciousness, Karam said he knew he’d have competition. “I know people who live in

Columbus love pizza and I know there’s a strong presence of national chains,” Karam said. “I see the opportunity with Pizza Cucinova as more of a reflection of a trend in consumers as opposed to positioning ourselves better with bigger brands in the city.” Karam said he sees Columbus as a “four-store market” for Pizza Cucinova, “targeting a consumer who has a taste for pizza, but is a bit more discerning of what they’re attracted to, what their appeal is.” The Olentangy River Road location is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-299-9520. Kathleen’s Cafe is closing, but its owner hopes to relocate. Owner Kathleen Murchison said she was unable to negotiate a short-term lease with her landlord, so she is moving from 1093 Bethel Road. A specific date was not available as of last week. She said the 1,500-squarefoot space is too big, there’s little foot traffic in the shopping

Start with homemade bread and an amuse-bouche, which will probably be a farro salad, with a chew and balsamic thrust that definitely awakens palates.

center, no frontage on Bethel Road and it’s set back too far from Kenny Road. “And the three months of winter did me in,” she said. Her cafe is known for its

quiet, calming atmosphere and fresh-made fare, including quiches, pies, a wide assortment of baked goods, soups and sandwiches. Kathleen’s Cafe seats 36.

fresh mozzarella. A huge pan-fried pork meatball and polenta appetizer special ($6) worth fighting over was cheesy and comforting, flavored with herbs and dissolves-on-contact tender. Providing contrast was an acidic, stewed tomato sauce. Also uncommonly tender was an excellent Kale Salad ($6). Its organic baby greens, ricotta salata cheese and sharp vinaigrette were offset by sweet grapes and toasted almond slivers. La Tavola’s magnificent Tortelloni en Brodo transported me back to elegant dinners in Italy ($14; “family” sizes are available for this and most other dishes). A classic and a must, its lovely and large tortellini

dumplings are stuffed with ground organic Ohio-raised chicken, prosciutto, mortadella, Parmigianno Reggiano, herbs and more. The beauties arrive dunked in a vivid broth that dances on the tongue. Homemade Chitarra Pasta ($16; spaghetti-like, and – cognate alert – fashioned with a “guitar”-like apparatus) with Bolognese sauce features killer al dente noodles in a dynamic tomato and meat sauce with the requisite wine and dairy, plus a pleasant whiff of gaminess. A hulking-yet-supple slab of cheese-enriched, housemade Veggie Lasagna (a $14 special) would plaster smiles on any carnivore. So would non-pasta preparations such as the fresh and expertly cooked Grouper Special ($22 with sunchoke puree and a loose quinoa “crust”) and the marsala winesauced and deservedly famous (in earlier incarnations) La Tavola Saltimbocca ($16). Now made with pounded-thin local pork loin, the saltimbocca is served with addictive polenta. In a similar key is the Parmigiano Reggiano/pecorino Romano-and-breadcrumb-crusted paillards of Chicken Limone ($14, squirt them with more lemon), served with a brisk arugula salad. These come with a generous “contorno” such as spicy and ridiculously delicious Braised Greens. Desserts – such as a creamyyet-tangy LemonTart ($6) bursting with fresh citrus and settled into a buttery shortbread crust – are worth the splurge. Frankly, I can’t wait to splurge here again.

Latest balance proposal fairest

To the best of anyone’s knowledge, no athletics directors, coaches or Ohio High School Athletic Association officials have confessed to waking in the night, shuddering from competitive balance-induced nightmares. No one could be blamed if they had. Few sagas DAVE this side of a PURPURA Stephen King novel have lasted longer than the endless debate that the current state of public-versus-private high school athletics needs fixed. Proponents of change say private schools win a disproportionate amount of state championships; 17 percent of Ohio high schools are private, and they have won more than 40 percent of state titles the past several years. In the recent boys basketball state tournament, private schools competed Nick Blair of New Albany hits a backhand return during a match against Gahanna on April 8.

16 in a doubleheader April 12, including a 21-2, five-inning win in the first game in which the Eagles capitalized on seven errors and scored 12 runs in the fourth. New Albany, whose streak ended with a 5-4 loss to Parma Normandy in the second game of a doubleheader April 19 at Capital University, had yet to hit a home run entering the week, but that didn’t concern Grieger. “We approach hitting as just putting the ball in play and making things happen. We’re not real concerned about home runs,” he said. “We’ve had good, quality at-bats lately, which is exactly what we emphasize. We have the right mental attitude.” Tommy Parsons led the pitching staff with a 2-1 record and a save through 11 games. Devin DeSilvestri also was 2-1. New Albany has played all of its games on the road because of construction at the high school, but Grieger said the Eagles hope to at least have a few games on their home field this season. A doubleheader against Mansfield Madison on April 5 was played at Otterbein. “Right now, it’s a matter of stabilizing the field and making sure it’s completely ready to go,” Grieger said. “All the rain and snow we’ve had this winter, even recently, has not

Area players excited for North-South Classic

By JARROD ULREY THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

During his senior year, running back Jordan Jarrell led the Pickerington High School Central football team to the 2006 OCC-Ohio Division championship and scored on a 70-yard run to help the South all-stars win the 2007 Ohio North-South All-Star Classic 50-7. His half-brother, Central senior running back/linebacker Isaiah Richmond, is determined not to be outdone. After helping the Tigers win their eighth consecutive league title last fall, Richmond will be among several central Ohio athletes competing in the 69th annual All-Star Classic on Saturday, April 26, at Welcome Stadium in Dayton. A game for players in Divisions IV, V, VI and VII will kick off at 11 a.m., followed by players in Divisions I, II and III at 3 p.m. All area athletes in both games will play for the South. While Richmond was second-team all-state last fall, also representing the Tigers will be

first-team all-state punter Rudy Stefanitsis. “A few years back my brother played in it,” Richmond said. “I remember there was a lot of passing and a lot of excitement. The game has been a big game for our school, and for me and my friend (Stefanitsis) to both be in it, it’s crazy.” Also participating in the Divisions I-III game will be Hilliard Davidson defensive lineman Alex Backenstoe, who has committed to play for Air Force and shared state Defensive Player of the Year honors in Division I with linebacker Tegray Scales of Cincinnati Colerain. Scales also is on the South roster. Headlining the North all-star team is Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary linebacker Dante Booker, an Ohio State signee who was named Ohio Mr. Football and shared state Defensive Player of the Year honors in Division III last fall with defensive back Vayante Copeland of Dayton Thurgood Marshall. Copeland will play for the South.

At a glance Below are the central Ohio players expected to compete in the Ohio NorthSouth All-Star Classic on Saturday,April 26, at Welcome Stadium in Dayton: DIVISIONS IV-VII (11 a.m.) Clayton Bullard (Johnstown) Cody Calhoun (Watterson) Ty Griffith (Licking Valley) Brenden Jurden (Newark Catholic) Jacob Mercier (Hartley) Kalil Morris (Hartley) Akili Taylor (Ready) Brady Taylor (Ready)

Mentor quarterback Conner Krizancic, a state co-Offensive Player of the Year in Division I, also will play for the North. Two of central Ohio’s top skill-position players, Westerville Central quarterback Jared Drake and Davidson running back D.D. Clark, will play in the Divisions I-III game. Drake, the ThisWeek Super 25 captain, has signed with East Tennessee State while Clark, who rushed for 2,003 yards last fall, has signed with Walsh. “I’m very, very excited,” Drake said. “There’s a great

DIVISIONS I-III (3 p.m.) Omar Alfred (Marion-Franklin) Alex Backenstoe (Hilliard Davidson) Robert Bowers (Walnut Ridge) D.D. Clark (Hilliard Davidson) Jared Drake (Westerville Central) Hayden Hatten (New Albany) Seth Hill (Worthington Kilbourne) Phillipie Motley (Hilliard Davidson) Martesse Patterson (Marion-Franklin) Nick Richardson (Westerville Central) Isaiah Richmond (Pickerington Central) Rudy Stefanitsis (Pickerington Central)

talent pool from all over the state.” Clark, Drake and Stefanitsis were joined on the Division I all-state team by Westerville Central’s Nick Richardson, a Kentucky signee who will be among the offensive linemen for the South. New Albany’s Hayden Hatten (LB), who was one of the state’s Players of the Year on defense, and Worthington Kilbourne’s Seth Hill (DB) are among the Division II players in the game. Hill has committed to Air Force.

Also playing will be Marion-Franklin’s Martesse Patterson (OL), a Purdue signee who was first-team all-state in Division III. Others in the game are Davidson’s Phillipie Motley (DB) and Walnut Ridge’s Robert Bowers (DL), both of whom have signed with Pittsburgh, and Marion-Franklin’s Omar Alfred (DB). Kilbourne coach Vince Trombetti will be an assistant on the South staff, which will be led by Chillicothe’s Ron Hinton. “It’s a great experience,” Motley said. “I’m happy to have the opportunity to play in this game because you get to play with some really good players.” Last year marked the first time the North-South Classic was split into two games, and it also was the first time the event was held in Dayton. The North-South game was held in Crew Stadium from 2001-07 and in Ohio Stadium from 2008-12. The Divisions IV-VII game will feature a group of central Ohio players led by Ready’s Akili Taylor (RB) and Brady Taylor (OL), who have committed to Navy and Ohio State, respectively, after helping their team reach a Division VI state semifinal last fall. Akili Taylor was a state co-

Offensive Player of the Year and was joined on the all-state team by Brady Taylor and Newark Catholic’s Brenden Jurden (OL). Hartley’s Jacob Mercier (WR/DB) and Kalil Morris (TE/DL), who made special mention and first-team all-state, respectively, in Division V, also will be in the game. They helped the Hawks to a state runner-up finish last fall. Division IV players on the roster include Johnstown’s Clayton Bullard (DL) and Licking Valley’s Ty Griffith (WR), each of whom made first-team all-state, and Watterson’s Cody Calhoun (DB), who was thirdteam all-state. Also competing for the South is Clarksville ClintonMassie’s Bayle Wolf (RB), who was the state’s Offensive Player of the Year in Division IV. Hartley’s Brad Burchfield is the South’s coach. “I am honored to have the chance to represent Watterson in an all-star game, especially considering the prestige associated with this particular game,” said Calhoun, who plans to attend Case Western Reserve. “All of us players get along very well and coach Burchfield has been doing an excellent job. We all can’t wait to play North.” julrey@thisweeknews.com

PURPURA

FROM >> A18

Under last year’s proposal, private schools could only draw from the public school attendance zone in which the school was located. For DeSales, that would have meant Brookhaven, creating a huge headache considering most of its students live elsewhere. In some circles, there won’t be much of an impact. The largest Division I schools won’t be affected, partly because a super division was created for football, and at least some Division II schools that are close enough to bump up likely are playing Division I teams during regular seasons anyway. Don’t think this proposal will be a cure-all if it passes. Not everyone will be satisfied. OHSAA commissioner Dan Ross left the door open for changes down the line, which for a proposal of this magnitude is inevitable and the best move. Among the possible changes are adjustments to multipliers. As long as there is no more talk of publicprivate separation, that’s livable. But the whole situation smacks of the old line about good officiating. Fans say they want well-officiated games, but all they really want is for their team to get all the calls.

tricts, multiple high-school districts and private schools. Private schools can designate a feeder school anywhere in the area from which they draw for a two-year period. Anyone who comes from outside a school’s designated district will fall under the multiplier. DeSales, for example, could choose a school in Westerville, where much of its student population lives. Because Westerville has three high schools, anyone who comes from beyond that private school’s public attendance zone – even if they still reside in Westerville City Schools – would fall under the multiplier. If the proposal is passed in May, it will be run on a test basis in 2015-16 and fully implemented for 2016-17. It’s a complex concept to be sure, but it’s the fairest and best-thought out to date. Last year’s proposal failed 327-308 in a vote by member schools, with a ridiculous 191 schools not bothering to cast a vote – arguably one of the biggest black marks in the history of Ohio high school sports considering what the proposal would have meant had it passed. Similar proposals failed 339-301 in 2012 and 332-303 in 2011. dpurpura@thisweeknews.com

On the

RECRUITING TRAIL

Life Saving Messages From The Energy Cooperative The Energy Cooperative is committed to providing safe and reliable energy to our member-owners with highly-responsive service consistent with Cooperative principles. The Purpose and Reliability of Natural Gas and Propane Gas Pipelines: Purpose: To safely transport natural gas and propane gas. Reliability: Our natural gas and propane gas pipelines are installed only by qualified professionals and tested for leakage before they become operational. Hazard Awareness and Prevention Measures: Awareness of Hazards: Damage to gas piping can cause a fire or explosion. Prevention Measures Undertaken: Natural gas and propane gas companies are required by law to perform leakage tests on all jurisdictional main lines and service lines before activating them with natural gas or propane gas. Periodic leak surveys are also required as a method to locate and/or repair a leak before it becomes hazardous. Pipeline Location Information: The natural gas transmission, gathering and distribution or propane pipelines we operate and maintain are mostly not visible to the public. The pipelines are buried below ground on our right-of-ways. The approximate locations of our pipelines are identified by pipeline markers that are placed within the right-of-way. In accordance with federal regulations our pipelines are patrolled on a regular basis, to inspect for any leakage corrosion problems, encroachment, etc. Some segments along our pipelines have been designated as “high consequence areas.” We have developed supplemental assessments and prevention plans for these highly populated areas that are near our pipelines’ right-of-way. Purpose of Pipeline Markers and What They Are Used For: Natural gas and propane gas pipelines are identified by markers placed at intervals along pipeline right-of-ways. The markers display the name of the owner of the pipeline and display a 24 hour emergency telephone number. The markers are generally placed whenever needed to indicate the presence of a pipeline, such as where a pipeline easement intersects a highway, railroad, creek or river crossing and in heavily congested areas. The markers are used to show the approximate location of the pipeline. Availability of the National Pipeline Mapping System (N.P.M.S.): Our transmission pipelines are located within four Ohio counties – Licking, Muskingum, Noble and Perry. The pipelines are a safe and reliable source of moving natural gas within our system. The pipelines are not visible because they are buried within our right-of-ways. The pipelines are patrolled and surveyed on a routine basis for leakage, corrosion and encroachment problems, etc. To view our transmission pipeline system go to www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov.

Leak Recognition and Response: Remember the three ways to recognize a natural gas or propane gas leak: • SMELL: To help you SMELL a leak from a gas line or appliance, a familiar odor like rotten eggs is often added to natural gas and propane gas. • SEE: Near a gas leak, you might SEE blowing dirt, bubbling water or an unusual area of dead vegetation. • HEAR: A leaking pipeline might make a hissing sound you can HEAR. • If you recognize even one of the above signs, walk away, right away. • Don’t try to stop or repair the leak yourself or use anything that might create a spark, such as a cell phone. • Avoid using potential ignition sources, such as telephones, doorbells, electric switches or motor vehicles. • Contact The Energy Cooperative immediately at 1-800-255-6815 from a safe distance. • Call 911. Never try to extinguish a gas fire or operate any pipeline valves. • Include the emergency telephone number for The Energy Cooperative on your list of important phone numbers (e.g. fire, police, physicians, etc.) Emergency Preparedness for Gas-Leaks in the Home: Be prepared. Practice safety drills for getting your family out of the house at night before an emergency occurs. Don’t turn lights on or off. Remember: • Don’t light matches or cigarette lighters. • Don’t use a flashlight during the drill because an electric arc might ignite the gas. • Don’t use the telephone or cell phone because an arc might ignite the gas. • Plan what you’re going to do and move slowly and carefully. • Practice the drill in the daylight first. Be Safe - Call Before You Dig: Before you break ground at any construction site or begin a project around your home, be sure you have taken the proper measures to achieve the highest level of safety possible. A simple phone call at least two days before starting the excavation work to the Ohio Utilities Protection Services (OUPS) will result in a representative locating buried facilities at your construction site or at your residence. This free service can help protect you from personal injury or property damage, and prevents interruption of your Energy Cooperative and other utility services. • To contact the Ohio Utilities Protection Services, call 811, or 1-800-362-2764, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. • In case of Emergency call The Energy Cooperative at 1-800-255-6815.

Your safety is our #1 priority!
