Anomatic joins business park east By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers New Albany’s business park east is expanding again with the addition of Anomatic, an Ohio-based company that is building in the campus. “The proposed project includes a 75,000-square-foot production facility with a capital investment of approximately $8.7 million,” according to the legislative report. “The company will

create 185 new employees with an annual payroll of approximately $4.2 million. The project will generate $84,000 a year in annual income tax.” Anomatic is based in Newark and has production facilities in Newark, Naugatuck, Conn., and China, said Kim Polvino, the company’s human resources manager. The company developed an anodizing system in 1967 and provides customers “with design, manufacturing and

finish solutions,” according to the company’s website. Anodizing is “an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish,” according to the website of the Aluminum Anodizers Council. Anomatic is “the No. 1 supplier of anodized components and packages in North America — and the global leader of distinctive anodizing design solutions,” according to its website.

The new production facility in New Albany is an expansion, Polvino said. “At this point, our offices will stay here (in Newark),” she said. According to the legislative report, Anomatic currently works with companies such as Revlon, Estee Lauder, Mary Kay and Bath & Body Works. City council on June 21 was expected to vote on an incentive agreement that would allow Anomatic an exemption from real personal property taxes

for seven to 10 years. The term of the abatement is based on payroll benchmarks and how the building will be built. Business park east projects typically include incentives for buildings built using environmentally friendly technology. For results of council’s vote, visit ThisWeekNews.com. There currently are six projects scheduled to be built in business park east. See ANOMATIC, page A3

Maul resigns, cites limits of FRRC By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Maddie Luna, a member of the Student Leadership Advocates program at Ohio State University, facilitates an ice-breaking exercise at the first Central Ohio Leadership Academy on June 20 at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts in New Albany. The academy, sponsored by the New Albany and Easton community foundations, was established to provide comprehensive leadership development for high school seniors from all over central Ohio.

McCoy center hosts leadership academy By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Thirty-four area high school students have a better understanding of what it means to be a leader after six days studying at the first Central Ohio Leadership Academy held at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts in New Albany. “I learned a lot more about getting to know myself,” said senior Alissa Barwinski of Dublin Scioto High School. The students — all seniors — listened to guest speakers daily and worked in small groups with facilitators from the Ohio State University Student Leadership Advocates program from June 15-17 and June 20-22. Each day, they studied one topic about how to become better leaders.

“The end goal is for them to leave here with new confidence in themselves,” said Tony Macerollo, one of the academy teachers. “Knowing oneself is paramount in leadership.” Macerollo teaches the leadership and civic virtue class at New Albany High School. The Central Ohio Leadership Academy was developed this year by educators from the Ohio State Fisher College of Business, the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio and the New Albany-Plain Local School District. The New Albany Community Foundation and the Easton Community Foundation sponsored the academy. To attend the leadership academy, students needed recommendations from faculty members at their schools and had to apply by answering

a series of essay questions. Craig Mohre, president of the New Albany Community Foundation, said the idea came out of the foundation’s annual fundraiser, called “A Remarkable Evening,” which usually features a famous author or nationally known speaker. As part of the event, the speaker usually meets with area high school students in an effort to help promote student leadership. Mohre said 2008 speaker Walter Issacson called students to action, telling them that learning isn’t enough and encouraging them to be engaged in their communities. Many students took that challenge and made it their own. Mohre said they started several dif-

Dave Maul, a member of the New AlbanyPlain Local Schools financial review and reporting committee (FRRC), has resigned, citing an inability to help the district with its financial situation. “The FRRC could be a good and valuable tool for the district, but only if the members’ skills are used wisely and effectively,” Maul wrote in his resignation letter. “This hasn’t been the case to date.” Maul submitted his resignation to the school board June 20, two days before the FRRC was expected to review a contract proposed by the teachers union. Maul said he was told by superintendent April Domine that the contract would be approved by the board at the special meeting June 22. The FRRC was scheduled to review the contract and give its recommendation the morning of June 22. “They’ve already committed to sign the contract tomorrow,” he said June 21. Jeff Warner, the district’s communications director, said the FRRC meeting already had been changed to June 22 when the district negotiations with PLEA ended. He said the FRRC members were invited to the June 13 school board workshop to hear details of the contract before their next regularly scheduled meeting.

Officials accept donation from thankful family

By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Eleven years ago, Sam Krebs was being rushed to the hospital by the Plain Township Fire Department after an accident. “He had suffered a serious head injury,” said Fire Chief John Hoovler. “He had a skull fracture with internal bleeding.” On June 14, the fire department celebrated seeing Krebs again, this time as a New Albany High School graduate ready to attend Ohio State Uni-

versity this fall to study biomedical engineering. “It’s amazing to see what can be done when we have great care on the spot, great care at the hospital and great care by the family,” said Plain Township trustee Dave Olmstead. Because of their appreciation of the fire department’s work, Sam’s parents, Ken and Jackie Krebs, donated $2,500 to the department. The donation was accepted at the June 14 trustees meeting. “Not all the (emergency) runs we go on have a happy ending,” Hoovler

said. “In Sam’s case, he recovered and went on to live a normal, healthy life.” Hoovler said the money would be used to purchase a new cot for one of the department’s medical vehicles. “The township is very thankful to the Krebs family for their generous gift,” Olmstead said. Also during the June 14 meeting, trustees adopted a donation policy that will help dictate how donations are accepted. Trustee David Ferguson said the policy offers standard procedures on what can be donated and how donations are handled.

Olmstead said all donations will be reviewed by trustees. He said people may donate funds or in-kind services for a specific purpose, as long as it’s something the township participates in or uses. “We encourage people to donate in ways that fulfill their wishes or support an activity that they are passionate about, but not to be so specific that it’s impractical to do,” he said. Township fiscal officer John Brandt said all monetary donations of $1,000 or more must be deposited within 24 hours, per state law.

“Peace” is the theme of this year’s Fourth of July celebration, when New Albany welcomes Marines from Columbus-based Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines, to serve as the parade grand marshals. The Marine Reserve company is known for the high casualties it took during the Iraq war. Twenty-three of its members were killed in Iraq in 2005.

Planning commission

Vet clinic zoning change application tabled again By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The New Albany Planning Commission on June 20 tabled a zoning change request and a request for a conditional-use permit for 12.275 acres at the northeast corner of ReynoldsburgNew Albany and Morse roads to allow a veterinary clinic on the property. The land is at the southern end of the New Albany Farms subdivision. City planner Michelle Murphy said the application was tabled June 20 at the request of the applicant. The application could be heard at the next planning commission meeting July 18. The application was tabled at the May meeting, as well, for the applicant to gather more information after seven people spoke against it. The applicant, New Albany Farms LLC Bella Vista, is an equine veterinary service that wants to establish a veterinary clinic on the site. The property includes a horse barn with six stalls, an indoor and outdoor riding area, a small one-

Continued from page A1 the Fourth of July parade begins at 11 a.m. on Monday, July 4, and will last about an hour. The parade starts at New Albany Middle School. The route moves onto U.S. Route 62, proceeds southwest to Market Street and then east on Dublin-Granville Road back to the middle school. Kendle said the parade has been growing each year with the addition of bicycle riders. “We’re looking for kids to ride bikes in the parade,” Kendle said. “We’re hoping to have the biggest bike parade in Central Ohio.” The parade usually attracts several thousand people. Once the parade ends, an afternoon break in the festivities is scheduled. Live music will begin at 5 p.m. on the New Albany High School commons. Kendle said the winner of last year’s annual FallFest Battle of the Bands competition will perform first. The band includes several students from New Albany

car garage with a residence above it and a residential home. The zoning change requested would consolidate two properties — one that is zoned for limited agricultural use and one that is residential — into one limited agricultural district. The conditional-use would allow the veterinary clinic to operate in what once was a private horse barn built by a New Albany Farms resident. New Albany Farms residents complained that the conditional-use permit would negatively affect their property values and would change the original intent of the horse barn, which was privately used. During the June 20 meeting, the planning commission also tabled a request for a variance for the New Albany Co.’s West Nine residential development. The development would be built between the New Albany Country Club and Clivdon developments and includes 12 lots. The variance is being requested for street widths, rightof-way widths and parkland dedication. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

middle and high schools and does not have a name at this point. They will perform from 5 to 6 p.m. and Peligro 614 of Gahanna will play from 6 to 7 p.m. Peligro 614 was formed two years ago by five Gahanna teenagers: singer Dominic Frissora, guitarist Jonathan Suh, rhythm guitarist Chandler Eggleston, bassist Tyler Viers and drummer Luke Hatfield. According to its Facebook page, Peligro 614 has performed across the country and won several band competitions, including first place at both the Gahanna Teenfest Battle of the Bands competition in 2010 and the Hebron Music & Arts Festival in 2009. Kendle said the headlining band for the celebration is the Street Players, a seven-piece band from Columbus. According to its website, the Street Players are known for their four-piece rhythm section and a three-piece horn section. They perform music from the 1940s to the present. The Fourth of July celebration includes food from local vendors,

featuring everything from Italian and Thai food to hot dogs from the New Albany High School athletics boosters and ice cream from Johnson’s, Kendle said. More children’s activities are planned this year, he said, with temporary tattoo painting, face painting and two bounce houses. A half-hour fireworks display ends the evening at about 9:45 p.m. Kendle said the celebration is organized by the New Albany Community Events Board, a nine-member group formed in 2004. The board still is looking for volunteers to help with the event. Kendle said it takes about 60 volunteers to help with both the parade and the evening festivities. Those interested should email Kendle at rkendle@insight.rr.com. The city of New Albany is the main sponsor of the event. Kendle said the rest of the money is raised from local donations. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Plain Township

MSA hired to assist with fire department master plan By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Plain Township has hired MSA, a consulting firm from Cincinnati that has worked with many Ohio fire departments, to complete the department’s master plan. Plain Township trustees on June 14 agreed to spend up to $15,000 for the work.

The fire department already has compiled population information from New Albany, the New Albany Co. and other planning organizations, such as the MidOhio Regional Planning Commission. The department also has information on equipment that will be needed in the future and replacement schedules for existing equipment. Trustee David Ferguson said the town-

ship felt very strongly about the positive work the fire department had done and decided to allow MSA to finish the report to assess the department’s future needs. Assistant Fire Chief Jack Rupp said the information compiled by the department shows the need for a second fire station. “The report will give us guidance on our current and future service levels to

residents and tell us what we need to provide service to the community,” trustee Dave Olmstead said. Rupp said MSA might be able to better explain the needs of the department to the township. He said explaining to trustees how the department works is sometimes difficult. The fire department began working to update the five-year plan in Septem-

LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

Continued from page A1 Continued from page A1 ferent programs, which sowed the seeds for the leadership academy, as the people involved began thinking about how to provide students with more leadership opportunities. Throughout the six-day program, students learned from case studies about the qualities many leaders possess. Ralph Johnson, a former New Albany-Plain Local superintendent who now works for the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio, spoke to the students June 20 about emotional intelligence. He said research on leaders shows that people who are good communicators, who are logical, who can appreciate patterns in everything from numbers to music and who understand the importance of both inter and intrapersonal relationships have strong leadership qualities. “Successful leaders are astute at managing their emotions,” Johnson said. Many of the students said the academy was beneficial. “I think this will help me with my leadership skills and help with my profession I’m going into,” said De’Chua Williams, a senior at Columbus West High School. Bexley High School’s Emily Rapport and Barwinski said they would use skills they learned during their senior years. Barwinski said she hopes to be a squad leader for her school’s marching band and Rapport said she already has been chosen as student council president and is an officer in the school choir. “I felt this was an opportunity for growth and reflection that I can use in my elected leadership roles this coming year,” Rapport said. Williams said the academy was very fulfilling. He said it taught him how to become an effective leader. Rapport said the academy also provided her with a lesson on how important it is to be accountable for your actions.

ber. The plan, originally created in 2000 by consultant Tom Grile, included provisions for hiring personnel and making equipment purchases over a five- to 10-year period. Fire Chief John Hoovler said MSA is expected to take 90 days to complete the master plan. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

“I learned how to take action and to be held accountable, not just as a leader, but as a person,” she said. Jordan Davis, one of four Ohio State Student Leadership Advocates who facilitated the students’ small groups, said the world is so technology focused that it’s important for students to learn how to be part of a discussion. Zack Rubin, another of the Ohio State facilitators, said students would face many situations presented during the academy again and again throughout their lives. “They are confronting dilemmas that don’t go away,” he said. “They just become tougher and stakes get higher. They get to hone their skills now in a safer environment.” New Albany seniors Hunter Lawhead and Mac Ferguson said the academy was beneficial because it was provided free to the participants and offered college credit through Ohio State. The academy was funded through the partnership between the Easton and New Albany community foundations, so no cost was incurred by participating students. The students who completed the six-day course will receive two college credits, said Roy Lewicki, professor of business ethics and management and human resources for the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State. Throughout the academy, students worked with Lewicki, Macerollo and Phil Koppel, a retired teacher from central Ohio. The facilitators from the Student Leadership Advocates were Sarah Beale, a senior majoring in leadership studies and sociology, and recent graduates Davis, who has a degree in political science and leadership studies; Maddie Luna, who has a degree in middle childhood education; and Rubin, who has a degree in political science and strategic communications. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The projects total 1.25 million square feet of development, according to the legislative report. The companies are expected to generate an estimated $750,000 in total annual income-tax revenue. “So far, this campus has also produced 1,405 total jobs for New Albany and 1,020 new jobs for

Ohio,” the legislative report said. In other business, council also was expected to amend an agreement with New Albany Hotel Associates LLC. The 122-room hotel will be built on Forest Drive, north of Smith’s Mill Road, said Kathryn Meyer, deputy community development director. Meyer said she expects the hotel project to break ground this year. The 110,000-square-foot hotel is being

built by Hotel Development Services of Dayton. The agreement would allow the hotel to receive half of the bed taxes collected — or 3 of the total 6 percent collected — to be used in promoting the hotel. Bed taxes can be charged on hotel rooms and are paid to municipalities for use in marketing campaigns and other attempts to attract visitors to an area.

Plain Township

Trustees renew health-care contract, but cost increases By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Plain Township trustees agreed June 14 to renew the contract with Medical Mutual of Ohio for insurance coverage from July 1, 2011, to June 30, 2012. “It was important for us to approve the program because our coverage expires on June 30,” said trustee Dave Olmstead. “This (plan) is similar to our current coverage.” The resolution approved at the June 14 meeting anticipates a 17- to 18-percent increase in costs over last year, bringing the township’s monthly bill to $48,000. Olmstead said the increase was a result of increased claims filed last year. “Because of that, there was an increase of 17 percent for our premiums,” he said. To help offset the increase in the annual cost, the township is instituting a wellness program, Olmstead said. The plan will provide employees with incentives to improve their health and

change their lifestyles, which the township is hoping will result in lower premiums in the future. The township currently pays 100 percent of its employee health care, said trustee David Ferguson. He said the township would review that issue after the final outcome of Ohio Senate Bill 5, which places limits on collective bargaining for public employees. One aspect of the law will require public employees to pay a certain amount for their health-care coverage. Gov. John Kasich signed the legislation into law this spring, but opponents have mounted a campaign to place S.B. 5 on the November ballot as a referendum for state voters to decide. “We will continue to look for ways to mitigate costs in the future,” Olmstead said. Trustees heard a detailed presentation on the health-care coverage at a previous meeting on June 1. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Trustees set public hearing on zoning change for AAA Storage By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Two local bodies have declined to recommend a proposed zoning change for AAA Storage to construct storage units at 10913 Johnstown Road. The Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel voted 5-0 against the application May 19 and the Plain Township Zoning Commission voted 4-1 against it June 9. Commission member Sylvia Snabl cast the only vote in favor of the application. Plain Township trustees have the final vote on any zoning changes. AAA Storage is requesting a change from rural to select commercial planned district. Trustees have set a public hearing for their next meeting to review the zoning change application. “We will have a hearing at 8 p.m. July 13,” said trustee David Ferguson. Ferguson said the application may include some changes, but, he said, if there are major changes, the township encouraged AAA Storage to resubmit the application so it can be reviewed again by the accord panel and the township zoning commission.

AAA Storage wants to construct 13 buildings with 597 units in two phases, with two buildings and a third larger building for recreational vehicle and boat storage to be built first, according to plans presented at previous meetings. The buildings would be surrounded by a green, vinyl-coated chain link fence with a silent alarm system to protect the property inside the units. Plans shown to the accord panel May 19 included a 400-foot setback from Johnstown Road and enough landscaping to screen about 80 percent of the buildings from the road and from the neighbors. A detention basin, which would hold storm water runoff, was proposed for the west side of the project. An abandoned house built in 1972 currently sits on the 10.788-acre lot. The lot and house at 10913 Johnstown Road are owned by Playworld Systems Inc. of Pennsylvania, which purchased the property in March 2010. Several residents of the New Albany Links subdivision, which is west of the property, as well as residents who live along Johnstown Road, have spoken against the application at public hearings. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Letter Contract sounds like ‘a done deal’ To the editor: I was very surprised to learn that the New Albany Plain Local School District board was considering a union proposal to renegotiate a contract a year before it expires. There has been little or no public discussion about this and it sounds like the announcement is a done deal. The board says it will vote on June 22, a week after the announcement. Not exactly a significant effort toward transparency or an opportunity to engage the community in the largest single expenditure the district makes. I’m hoping for more information and more time for the community to respond than one week. Instead of stating what the teacher’s are giving up as the announcement emphasizes, I’d like to know more specifically what the teachers are getting. Specifically: • What is the annual increase in pay? I conclude from the announcement that it is 3 to 4.4 percent annual increases for 80 percent of teachers. This is higher than most taxpayers are getting. This is a change from the current contract of 7 to 8.4 percent annual increases, a gift the board gave to the union last time that outraged me and many in the community. • What will teachers pay for health insurance and pension? I’d like specifics because I couldn’t really understand what the announcement meant besides the teachers would be paying more. S.B. 5 specified 15 percent, which is still a low number. • No mention of pension contributions was included. How

much do teachers and the district pay for pension? Were there any changes? If not, why not? • $3.9 million savings sounds like a considerable sum when presented alone without any context. When considering it is spread over three years it is $1.3 million per year, a 2.6 percent reduction from a $50 million operation, hardly a draconian reduction or enough to solve the district’s structural spending problem. • There is no mention of any kind of performance-based pay to replace step increases. This appears to be another major concession to the union for three years of postponing S.B. 5. • There is no mention of any work rule changes that the union typically uses to thwart management changes, especially those that cost money or affect the use of personnel. I’m not impressed that this is a good deal for taxpayers. It seems

to me to benefit the teachers more than the taxpayers, providing them with a hedge against S.B. 5 for little or no real concessions. Getting half of the old extravagant annual raise is definitely not the same as no raise. I would like the board to use the tools that the governor and legislature are providing to reduce costs and make structural changes to control spending. I’d like the board to reject this proposal and either get a significantly better deal that provides much higher cost savings or wait for the end of the current contract and craft something that makes more sense for the taxpayers. It is important to have good teachers and to fairly compensate them. But the cost to taxpayers also has to be fair and sustainable. Bob Radigan New Albany

MAUL RESIGNS Continued from page A1 provide recommendations or a final vote fell on the same day by chance, because of scheduling issues. Domine didn’t directly confirm to ThisWeek that she had told Maul the board would approve the contract June 22, but said she had explained the negotiation process to Maul. Through the collective-bargaining process, Domine said, both sides have to agree on terms that “fundamentally meet their goals.” She said both the union members and the board must vote on those terms, as agreed to in negotiations. She said the negotiations stipulated that the contract would begin June 30. “Typically, you would expect those terms to continue on in the vote,” she said. The teachers requested the board consider negotiating the contract early, even though the contract wasn’t set to expire until June 2012. “This was a noncontractual year,” said Mike Covey, president of the Plain Local Education Association (PLEA). “PLEA decided to approach the board a full year earlier because of the need to develop a proactive plan to extend the current budget as much as possible given the poor economy, the projected downturn in local property taxes, as well as the board-projected shortfall of $8 million. “I am expecting that the classified employees, as well as administration from the top down, will follow PLEA’s leadership in responsible financial concessions for the next three years.” The school board created the FRRC last year to assist in reviewing district finances and share perspectives from both the private and public sectors. The committee has five community members: Phil Derrow, Dave Demers, Chris Luffler, Maul and Parag Patel. They are joined by district treasurer Brian Ramsay, Domine, school board members Laura Kohler and Cheri Lehmann, director of business operations Ken Stark and three union representatives from the district’s two labor organizations. During its first year of work, the committee encouraged the ad-

ministration to save $500,000 for the school year. Administrators saved more than $600,000. The FRRC also helped reduce the debt in the projected five-year forecast with its suggestions and asked the administration to do an external review of the district’s finances, comparing the district to other central Ohio districts and to the 20 most similar districts in the state, as identified by the Ohio Department of Education. Maul said the FRRC could do much more. “I think on a scale of 1 to 10, we were operating on about a 2,” Maul said. “We accomplished relatively little.” Maul said he and Luffler, who both have strong financial backgrounds with large companies, repeatedly requested the administration allow them to go over the budget with them line by line. But that didn’t happen. “They didn’t let us get involved,” Maul said. “It almost feels like they ask us to give advice but are really not asking us to give advice.” Members of the FRRC often said that job is difficult because of union contracts, which set 80 percent of the district’s $50-million budget. The proposed PLEA contract reduces the increase on teachers’base salaries from 3 percent to 1 percent for the next three years. It also decreases step increases by nearly half. Step increases are given to teachers based on seniority and education. Teachers also agreed to change the percentage they pay for healthcare coverage, agreeing to pay 15 percent of their health-care costs for single coverage. Currently, teachers pay 10 percent on single coverage. The contract also increases employee co-pays, deductibles for family coverage and out-of-pocket expenses. The contract is expected to save the district $3.8 million over the next three years. Maul said he’s not pleased with the changes, especially because many provisions remain the same. He said there are no teacher evaluations, for example, meaning raises rely on step increases and automatic base salary increases. “While I understand that state laws prohibit the FRRC from being part of the detailed contract ne-

Financial finesse gotiations, I really don’t believe they prohibited the (board) from soliciting feedback from the FRRC as to whether or not (the board) should consider a renewal a year before the contract expired,” he wrote in his resignation letter. “This could have readily been discussed back in March before negotiations were started.” Kohler brought up Senate Bill 5 at the June 13 school board workshop, which she said had already affected negotiations. The historic legislation, signed into law by Gov. John Kasich, redefines collective bargaining for Ohio’s public employees. It has not yet gone into effect and opponents of the legislation have mounted a campaign to place the issue before voters as a referendum on the November ballot. S.B. 5 prohibits public workers from striking, restricts the number of issues that may be discussed in collective bargaining, institutes performance-based pay raises instead of basing raises on longevity, drops the percentage of workers needed to decertify a union from more than 50 percent to 30 percent and caps employers’payment of their workers’ health insurance at 85 percent. Maul’s letter also addressed the resignation of former superintendent Steve Castle. “Soon after the committee was formed, the (board) decided to terminate Steve Castle’s contract without soliciting any input from the FRRC,” he wrote. “While I know that several (board) members’campaigns revolved around replacing Steve, forcing his ‘retirement’prior to his contract termination date cost the district $400,000-plus. A better option would have been to monitor and control Steve during his last year and simply let his contract expire.” When Kohler, Lehmann and Natalie Matt ran for the school board, they said they would try to change the district’s leadership. “I believe we did what was in the best interest of the district,” Lehmann said. “I don’t regret my decision.” Lehmann said she was disappointed to hear Maul had resigned. “He’s been very helpful to help me with some of my decisions I’ve made and influenced (the board’s) along the way,” she said. “I want to thank him for his work.”

Don’t let thieves spoil your vacation First, it’s great that you are aware of the risks and are seeking ways to protect yourself before you become a victim. It’s much easier to take precautions now than have to restore your identity and reputation later. Being away from home and in unfamiliar places could bring increased risk to consumers, opening doors to thieves. More purchases than usual are made this time of the year, as well, so additional withdrawals might go unnoticed until you get back to home base. Your identity could be stolen in a number of ways, including loss or theft of your wallet, purse or credit card; stealing your mail or taking documents from your trash; skimming information from the magnetic strip on credit or debit cards; giving personal or financial information over the phone to strangers; or hacking into your computer. If you are catching up on paying bills or doing any online shopping while you are on vacation, be sure you are using secure web-

sites. Be careful in stores to protect your wallet, purse and credit cards and watch to be sure store GABRIELLE personnel hanyour credWHITTAKER dle it card properly. Also watch out for people hovering near you or using a camera phone. Being extra aware of your surroundings and always being organized also make you more focused and alert so you can spot potential problems. Keep receipts for all purchases and check the receipt against your credit card or other account statements to be sure it is accurate. Signs that indicate your identity has been stolen include unauthorized charges on your credit-card statement or on your checking account; unauthorized transfers or withdrawals on your bank statements; accounts on your credit report that you did

not open; calls from a collection agency, asking why you have not paid a bill; and calls from a financial institution about an account you did not open. If you become a victim of identity theft, contact the financial institutions or companies where the information has been used to alert them of the situation. Also contact the police and a credit-reporting agency and request that they place a fraud alert on your account. Keep records of whom you talk to and summaries of conversations. Many financial institutions offer identity-protection packages. You’ll have no better time to safeguard your identity than before you head out for a summertime vacation. Gabrielle Whittaker is an officer and financial center manager with Fifth Third Bank. She welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions. She can be reached at (614) 8343026 or Gabrielle.Whittaker@ 53.com.

Great! I just told him about their huge sale and told him to leave his wallet at home :-)

Cool! Thatâ€™s the same advice you gave me, Bob--Thatâ€™s why I left my purse at home! Do you know what he is looking for?

He told me they better â€œsharpen their pencils,â€? because he wants a brand-new Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger!

Club Soccer

Area teams preparing for Midwest Regional By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A central Ohio club soccer team has won a Midwest Regional Cup title each of the past two summers after local squads failed to do so the previous six years. The Blast F.C. Under-15 boys team won a Regional Cup in 2009, and the Crew Juniors U-19 boys squad won regional and national championships last year. Heading into the 2011 Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox

Cities, Wis., Crew Juniors U-19 boys coach Brian Bliss said he wouldn’t be surprised if a central Ohio squad won a regional championship for the third consecutive season. However, Bliss said it will be difficult for the five local boys teams and four local girls squads to win their age brackets regardless of their talent level. “Sometimes it’s more difficult to win the Regional Cup than the national tournament because you have to play five games in five days in the regional tournament and there’s very little room for error,” Bliss said. “A lot of people have

Team previews, pgs. B2-B3 forgotten, but we were three minutes away from being eliminated from pool play in the regional tournament last year before we rallied (for a 3-1 win over Everest Soccer Club) to reach the semifinals. A lot of teams have the talent and potential to win this tournament, but you need to make plays at the right time to get it done.” More than 270 preliminary games will be played as boys and girls U.S. Youth Soccer State Cup champions, select wild-

cards and Midwest Regional League qualifiers in the U-13 through U-19 age groups compete. All of the age groups have been divided into three- or fourteam brackets, and every team will play a game within its bracket June 25, 26 and 27. The bracket winners will move on to semifinals June 28, with regional finals played June 29. Regional champions in the U-14 through U-19 age groups will advance to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix.

Ohio Premier Eagles club director Chris King said teams need to do more than play well to win a Regional Cup. They also need some luck. “You have to play well and find a way to win against great competition, but a lot of this comes down to luck,” said King, who helped guide the Ohio Premier U13 girls team to a regional championship in 2002. “In the closer games, you may need to have a few bounces or a referee’s call go your way. “The luck of the draw is another big See OVERVIEW, page B4

Commentary

Athletes learn to develop routine The high school athletes participating in my summer series also stand out in the classroom. In the second week of the series, the student-athletes talk about how they balance practices and games with studying to keep their grades at a high level. M a r y LARRY Wells, WestLARSON erville Central, bowling: “School always comes first and keeping your grades up is way more important than any sporting event.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “To balance practice and games with studying, you have to be dedicated to both things. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices in order to accomplish excellence in both.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “I make sure to study and do homework directly after coming home from practice. This way I am not as tired as I would be later and I will be motivated to do work.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Seeing that practice only lasts a few hours of my afternoon, I always dedicate the rest of my time to the work that needs to be done for class. If I am well organized and can stick to a schedule that works best for me, it helps ensure that my academic and athletic priorities are also balanced.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I make sure that I finish all my work before I go on with my day. I will normally have practice directly after school and I try to get my work done first thing after practice.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I know that schoolwork must come first and I need to attend to my studies first and attack that before I get out on the golf course or range. I either immediately practice first and then study or the other way around. I dedicate myself to academics and athletics and dedication is the key word.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Sometimes before practice I can get some schoolwork done. If I don’t have time before school is out, I need to focus on practice and then get the rest of my work done.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Although golf takes up a lot of my time, academics have always been a priority to me. My time at school is committed to getting my work done.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “In order to keep up my academics with games and practices, I sacrifice the other

Cap City Senior Bowl

East holds on for victory over West By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Andrea Kjerrumgaard/ThisWeek

The East’s Alex Hake, a New Albany graduate, keeps an eye on West receiver Derrick Goliday during the East’s 14-7 win in the Cap City Senior Bowl on June 18.

To watch Grove City High School graduate Luke Smurthwaite scramble and make a play seemingly out of nothing, it looked like more was on the line than the outcome of an all-star football game. One of the area’s top quarterbacks, Smurthwaite made sure his team didn’t lose without putting up a fight in the Cap City Senior Bowl on June 18 at Westerville Central. The Kent State recruit completed three of five passes for 36 yards during the West allstars’ final drive, which ended at midfield with a fumble as time expired. A strong defensive effort led by Independence lineman Tim Dysart (Morehead State) helped the East all-stars win 14-7. “It was really great to just be playing football again and getting the rust out of my sys-

tem before I head off to college,” said Smurthwaite, who was named the West’s Offensive Player of the Game. “I’ve grown up scrambling around like that and I guess that’s why I’ve gotten good at it.” Smurthwaite, who passed for more than 2,300 yards last fall and played in the Ohio North-South All-Star Classic in April, didn’t have big numbers, but his abilities gave the West a chance to come back. It was no surprise to West coach Derek Katris, who coached Smurthwaite on junior varsity at Grove City. “Luke’s going to give you everything he’s got,” said Katris, who is now the head coach at Briggs. “He’s going to play with all the heart he has. We had a lot of penalties and missed assignments, but what are you going to do when you only have (the players) for See CAP CITY, page B4

Big 33 Football Classic

Davidson’s Heitzman helps lead Ohio to win By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ohio’s domination in the Big 33 Football Classic in Hershey, Pa., on June 18 had a local flavor. Ohio rolled to a 50-14 win over the Pennsylvania all-stars, amassing 432 yards in total offense. The 54th game of the series featured five players from central Ohio. Led by defensive end Keith Heitzman of Hilliard Davidson, the Ohio defense allowed 243 yards, including minus-8 See LARSON, page B4 yards rushing.

Heitzman, who also played fullback and on special teams, capped the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown run with 3 minutes, 47 seconds remaining. “It was a ton of fun,” Heitzman said. “Our defense came out strong and was able to get pressure on them right away. We forced them to make some mistakes.” Heitzman helped set the tone early as his pressure on Pennsylvania quarterback Matt Johnson led to Gabe Gilbert’s interception on the game’s first possession. Heitzman sacked Johnson in the second quarter, leading to a Pennsylvania punt from its end zone.

“Playing against the best I’m hoping will prepare me a little bit more for what’s to come at (the University of) Michigan,” Heitzman said. Heitzman was joined by Davidson teammate J.D. Detmer, who handled the kicking and punting duties. Detmer, who will play at the University of Toledo, converted six extra points and punted once for 38 yards. He missed on field-goal attempts of 46 and 28 yards in the first quarter. Hartley’s Noah Key, who rushed for 2,885 yards and 42 touchdowns on 338 carries last fall to share the Division IV

state Offensive Player of the Year award with Kenton quarterback Maty Mauk, played in the secondary for Ohio. “This was a real honor,” said Key, who will join Detmer at Toledo. “You get to see all the guys you see in the paper every week with your name. You get a chance to meet these guys, and I will be playing against a lot of these guys in college. There (were) actually seven of us on the team from Toledo, so we’re building that early bond.” Key led Hartley to the Division IV state title last season with a 34-13 win over See FOOTBALL, page B4

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Team Ohio F.C.

Green U-17 boys eye Midwest title By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Rosters

The Team Ohio F.C. Green Under-17 boys soccer team surprised many, including coach Steve Dawson, by winning the State Cup tournament for the first time in four years. After beating the CUP Crew Juniors 3-2 in a semifinal on May 14, Team Ohio defeated the Blast F.C. 1-0 in the final on May 15 as forward Sam Darling scored and A.J. Tresoline earned the shutout in goal. The CUP Crew Juniors were the No. 1 seed in the tournament and the Blast F.C. won a Regional Cup title and finished fifth in the national tournament two years ago. Given its State Cup performance, Dawson said he wouldn’t be surprised if his team continued to earn upsets in the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “This team doesn’t have a lot of players who are big stars and I thought we’d be doing well to get to the semifinals in the State Cup,” Dawson said. “But we shocked CUP, which was stronger than us talent-wise, player for player, and we upset the Blast in the final against all odds, and our players have a lot of confidence right now. This team has come on like gangbusters at the right time and is on a roll. If we continue playing like this in the regional tournament, I think we can keep winning there.” This will be Team Ohio’s first Regional Cup appearance since going 1-1-1 in pool play as a U13 team in 2007. Team Ohio will open pool play June 25 against ShattuckSt. Mary’s from Minnesota before playing June 26 against Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier and June 27 against the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors. The Grand Rapids Crew Juniors are first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings ahead of Elm Grove Premier (10th) and Team Ohio (26th). “We feel like we have a great chance to do well, even though we may be the lowest-ranked team going there,” defender A.G. Basiakos said. “We’re not the most talented team, but we can win games if we play tough defensively and continue to outwork our opponents.” Dawson said Basiakos and Tresoline will need to lead his defense, while Darling is expected to spark his offense. Darling also scored two goals in Team Ohio’s State Cup semifinal win. “A.G. is our captain and strongest player in the back, and A.J. has been playing great in

felt could compete at the top level, and this team has lost only one game since December,” Dawson said. “It’s a strange team because we’ve had a lot of injuries and our practices haven’t been fantastic, but it keeps winning games.” In pool play, Team Ohio Blast will face CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati on June 25, the Michigan Wolves on June 26 and the KCFC Rangers from Kansas on June 27. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the KCFC Rangers are eighth, the Michigan Wolves are 15th and the CUP Crew Juniors are 35th. “We got an OK draw, but all of our pool play games are going to be tough,” Dawson said. “We’re a streaky team in that sometimes we score a lot and other times we win games 1-0. This team has some of the best high school players in the area and we haven’t been dominated by anyone, so I think we’ll be competitive in every game in this tournament.” •The Team Ohio F.C. Juventus U-16 boys team, which lost to the CUP Crew Juniors 3-1 in a State Cup final on May 15, received a wildcard to advance to the Regional Cup tournament for the third consecutive year. Team Ohio went 2-0-1 and won its pool in the Regional Cup two years ago, before losing to St. Louis SG Academy 2-0 in a semifinal. Last year in the Regional Cup, Team Ohio went 1-2 in pool play. “This team has been disjointed up to this point in the season, but we have a lot of talented players such as Tyler Kidwell, Rylee Woods, Alex Polko, Gunnar Bloecher and Alec Binger,” Dawson said. “This team underachieved this year, but we can win at regional if we play together like we have in the past. This is a chance to rectify not playing up to potential in the State Cup.” In pool play, Team Ohio will face the Lemont (Ill.) Raiders on June 25, WAZA West Black from Michigan on June 26 and KCFC United from Kansas on June 27. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, Team Ohio is fifth behind the Lemont Raiders (No. 1) and ahead of WAZA West Black (14th) and KCFC United (21st). “Our experience (in past Regional Cup tournaments) should help because playing at a higher level gets you prepared for this kind of game speed,” goalkeeper Trent Rantala said. “The key for us is to keep possession and link passes to get an attack going.”

Coach Chris King talks with his Ohio Premier Eagles U-18 squad during practice on June 17.

Ohio Premier

Eagles U-18 girls team emphasizing defense By AARON BLANKENSHIP

As the Ohio Premier Eagles Under-18 girls soccer team conducted drills in its indoor facility June 17, coach Chris King halted practice three times to emphasize the importance of taking away passing lanes in the center of the field. Moments later, King was shouting words of praise and encouragement as his players clogged those seams and deflected the ball to the perimeter again and again. At the conclusion of practice, King said his team will need to continue playing defense with that same level of enthusiasm to be a true contender in the Midwest Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “This is stuff that we’ve gone through hundreds of times at this stage of their careers, but doing the basic things right in a tournagoal,” Dawson said. “Sam’s one ment like this is what makes the of the fastest players in the state. difference,” King said. “All of the Overall, this is one of the least teams that we’ll see there will be highly skilled, but the teams that heralded teams on paper.

KCFC Intensity is first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, ahead of Ohio Premier (sixth) and Eden Prairie (12th). “Those first two games are going to be really tough,” midfielder Megan Scoliere said. “Both of those teams are really talented, so we’re going to need to work harder than them to beat them. That’s why we’re pushing ourselves so hard every day in practice.” •The Ohio Premier Eagles U16 girls team will compete in the Regional Cup for the third consecutive year after winning its fourth State Cup title.

Fusion on June 25, the Michigan Football Club on June 26 and the Illinois State Cup champion on June 27. The Ohio Premier Eagles are third in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, ahead of the Michigan Football Club (sixth). “We’re as talented as any team in the country, but the girls need to bring a physical aspect to their game in this tournament or the other teams will try to bully them around,” King said. “We need to find that balance between playing a high-level quality of soccer and also standing up to the teams that are physical. If we do that and stay healthy, this team could go a See EAGLES, page B3

The Crew Juniors Under-19 boys soccer team played stifling defense en route to winning the Midwest Regional Cup and the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships last year. The squad posted two shutouts and gave up five goals in five games in the regional tournament. In the national tournament, the Crew Juniors earned two shutouts and gave up three goals in four contests. The team now features a roster that coach Brian Bliss said likely will utilize a more offensive style of play in the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “Last year’s team was probably a bet-

ter-defending group, but we’re stronger on the attack this year,” Bliss said. “That’s not to say that we’re going to leak a lot of goals, because our defending group isn’t poor. I’m just saying we have more creativity and speed on the attacking end of the field, so we won’t have to rely on our defense as much as we did last year. We have the firepower to come from behind to win games if we need to, so we have the option of being more aggressive.” The Crew Juniors feature two members of the U.S. U-20 National Team in forward Dylan Mares and defender Eriq Zavaleta, along with two members of the U.S. U-18 National Team in forward Chris Hegngi and midfielder A.J. Corrado. Five players who competed in the 2010 NCAA Division I championship game, in which Akron defeated Louisville 1-0, also play for the Crew Juniors, including

Akron goalkeeper Andrian McAdams and Akron midfielder Kyle Culbertson. Mares and midfielders Andrew Farrell and Alex Obbey competed for Louisville. The Crew Juniors went 3-0 in the State Cup tournament and outscored their opponents 11-0, including a 2-0 win over the Blast F.C. in the final on June 5. “This team is equal to, if not slightly better than, last year’s U-19 team,” Bliss said. “But we’ll need to play well and there’s always an element of luck involved in winning any championship. Hopefully, we’ll play well enough to make our own luck, like we did last year.” The Crew Juniors will open pool play June 25 against St. Croix from Minnesota before playing June 26 against the Chicago Fire Juniors and June 27 against the Des Moines (Iowa) Menace. Last year in the Regional Cup, the Crew

Juniors 4-2 on penalty kicks. Nick Teutsch, Tyler Stills, Cameron Campbell and Will Bolton scored and goalkeeper J.P. Baughman made a save to secure the victory. “I’m of the opinion that defense wins championships, and we did a great job of defending in the State Cup tournament,” Lentz said. “We don’t just bunker it in, though. We have kids who can play and score goals, but we’re very organized on the field and we’re able to fight and grind out wins when we need to.” The Classics Eagles will open Midwest Regional Cup pool play on June 25 against the Wichita (Kan.) Lightning before playing June 26 against Vardar from Michigan and June 27 against Cleveland Pacesetter. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the Classics Eagles are 18th and Vardar is fifth. In the State Cup tournament, the Classics Eagles upset the Crew Juniors 2-0 in pool play on May 15 before beating the

Crew Juniors again in the final. Teutsch scored winning goals in the Classics Eagles’ 4-0 win over Hammer F.C. Premier on May 8, their first victory over the Crew Juniors and their 1-0 win over the Ohio Premier Eagles in a semifinal on May 21. The Crew Juniors are fourth in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings. “Because we’re a new club and not a household name, we may be considered an underdog, but we beat a very good Crew Juniors team twice to get this far, so I’m confident we can compete at this level,” Lentz said. “Vardar is one of the best teams in our region, so we’ll need to play great defense and find a way to score enough goals to win. Our goalie and two center backs, Mark Just and Will Bolton, have played together since they were 9 years old, and we’ve got some technically gifted midfielders and forwards.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Defense vital for U-13 boys in tourney The Classics Eagles Under-13 boys soccer team has several players capable of scoring goals.

Your best scorers can sometimes be a little off, but a good defensive team will always come through for you. I’ll take a good old-fashion, blue-collar 1-0 win over a high-scoring Texasshootout any day.” The Classics Eagles went 5-0 in the State Cup tournament, outscoring their opponents 10-1 en route to winning the first State Cup title in their club’s two-year history. In the final on May 22, the Classics Eagles defeated the Crew Juniors 1-0 on penalty kicks. After the game remained scoreless through regulation and two five-minute overtime periods, the Classics Eagles outscored the Crew

Juniors went 2-0-1 in pool play and had to rally to beat Ohio rival Everest Soccer Club 3-1 in its final pool-play contest to advance to a semifinal. After beating Waza F.C. (Mich.) 3-0 in a semifinal, the Crew Juniors beat the Kansas City Wizards 43 in double overtime in the final. “This was a middle of the road type of draw for us,” Bliss said. “We play an Illinois team on the second day, which is never easy. It’s very difficult to win this tournament because you play five games in five days. There’s a small margin for error in this tournament. Last year we (were) three minutes away from being eliminated from group play before going on to win the regional and national tournaments.”

long way.” •The Ohio Premier Eagles U19 girls team earned its second consecutive State Cup title on June 5 when it beat CUP 1-0 in the final. Last year in the Regional Cup tournament, the Ohio Premier Eagles went 1-2 in pool play and failed to reach a semifinal. “Most of these girls have played together for seven years, and when they returned home from college, you would never know they’ve been apart for a year because they play so well together,” coach Matt Ogden said. “They already know our system and their chemistry is still great. They know each other inside-out, and that gives us an advantage over a lot of U-19 teams that have been put together with players who are still getting to know each other.” The Ohio Premier Eagles will open pool play on June 25 against Dynamo F.C. from Indiana before playing Eclipse Select from Illinois on June 26 and Bloomfield Force from Michigan on June 27. Eclipse Select is first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, ahead of Dynamo F.C. (15th) and the Ohio Premier Eagles (17th). “Our draw looks very difficult because Illinois, Michigan and Indiana are all very competitive states,” Ogden said. “But at U-19, you never know who will return to play for their teams. With who we have back we’re confident we can play with anyone in the country. We’re going to play a 4-3-3. ... We use an attacking style that sometimes leaves us vulnerable in the back, but we’ve done well with it.” •The Ohio Premier Eagles U13 girls team qualified for the Regional Cup by winning its second consecutive State Cup title. It went 5-0 in the State Cup tournament, outscoring its opponents 16-1. In a State Cup final on May 22, the Ohio Premier Eagles beat Hammer F.C.

United S.C. Elite on June 25, Greater Toledo F.C. on June 26 and Centennial from Minnesota on June 27. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the Ohio Premier Eagles are third ahead of Carmel United S.C. Elite (10th). “Our draw could have been much worse,” Dougherty said. “I’d like to see us continue to play defense the way we did in the State Cup when we gave up only one goal in five games, because we’re dangerous when we defend that well.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Lacrosse

Area players named to All-American teams By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Eight area high school lacrosse teams placed seniors on the All-American and Academic All-American boys and girls teams announced by U.S. Lacrosse. Attacker Ryan Borcherding of Dublin Coffman, attacker Leo Horine and defender John Horner of Dublin Jerome, defender Kyle Moses of Olentangy and midfielder Luke Treece and attacker Cam Williams of Upper Arlington were boys first-team All-Americans. In addition, UA midfielder Ben Grindle-deGraff, Hilliard Davidson defender Matt Arthur and Westerville

Central midfielder Jake Marburger were named Academic All-Americans. UA attacker Adriane Ghidotti was the only central Ohio girls player named first-team All-American. Wellington attacker Grace Korandovich and Thomas Worthington midfielder Lily Yednock were honorable mention selections. Horine and Horner helped Jerome finish 19-1 overall and win the Division II state title with a 13-4 win over Hunting Valley University School in the final on June 4 at Westerville Central. Moses said he tried to show no emotion after coach Mike Kinney told him he had been selected as Olentangy’s

first All-American. Moses, who has signed to play at High Point University in North Carolina, thought Kinney might be kidding. “When my coach told me I was nominated, I was excited more than anything else, but I thought I didn’t have any chance of earning the honor,” Moses said. “When (Kinney) told me later I was selected, I wanted to scream and yell, but my coach is a little bit of a jokester, so I didn’t do anything. “I knew that I had put the time and the effort in and went to a lot of summer tournaments, but I was very surprised.” Ghidotti, an honorable mention All-

American last year, said she found out before the Golden Bears’ Division I state semifinal against Hudson on June 3 that she had made first-team AllAmerican. “Paul Caldwell (the former Coffman coach who runs the NorthStar summer league) called me and said, ‘I don’t want to put any pressure on you, but you were just named first-team All-American,’” said Ghidotti, who scored three goals in a 13-11 win over Hudson. “I was like, ‘Oh great, now there’s a ton of pressure.’ It was very exciting for me and gave me a lot of extra energy.” Ghidotti, a University of Connecticut signee, said dealing with expec-

tations in lacrosse is a way of life at UA. The girls team, which lost to Medina 14-13 in the state title game and finished 16-5 overall, has reached the state final the past four years, while the boys team had a string of 19 consecutive state final appearances snapped this season with a 10-4 loss to Worthington Kilbourne in a Central Region final on May 28. “The tradition is so rich at Upper Arlington,” Ghidotti said. “We all have to live up to this (standard of) excellence.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

FOOTBALL Continued from page B1 Chagrin Falls in the championship game. Hawks coach Brad Burchfield said playing in the Big 33 game was a tremendous opportunity for Key and the Hartley program. “I know obviously the history of the Big 33 and how prestigious it is to have players selected to play in that game,” Burchfield said. It was sort of a homecoming for Worthington Kilbourne’s Matt Skura, who grew up in Fox Chapel, Pa., and began attending Kilbourne as a sophomore. “Playing against the best competition in Pennsylvania and even the best competition in the nation, it was a great way for me to end my high school career and

start my college one as well,” Skura said. Skura, who will play at Duke, saw time at center, guard and tackle in the Big 33 game. “He’s been a tremendous leader, setting the example for the kids on the way things should be done,” Kilbourne coach Vince Trombetti said. “He’s never taken a day off. He’s done a great job representing our program.” Westerville Central graduate Nick Vannett, who will play at Ohio State, saw time at tight end and wide receiver. “I’m proud of Nick, not only because of his accomplishments on the field, but also I’ve had people tell me what a class act, what a gentleman he is, and to me that’s just as important if not more important than his football

abilities,” Central coach John Magistro said. University of Cincinnati recruit Akise Teague had three touchdowns and 168 total yards, and was named the Ohio team’s MVP. Teague was voted Ohio’s Mr. Football last fall, leading Youngstown Ursuline to its third consecutive Division V state championship with a 51-21 win over Coldwater. The game also featured the Big 33’s longest interception return for a touchdown. Ohio State recruit Doran Grant (Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary) intercepted a Jalen Fitzpatrick pass and returned it 101 yards for a 28-7 lead in the second quarter. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

U-17 boys, Team Ohio F.C. U-18 boys,

Crew Juniors U-19 boys, Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls, Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 girls and Ohio Premier Eagles U-19 girls. The Ohio Premier Eagles U-18 girls squad qualified as a representative of the Midwest Regional League and the Team Ohio F.C. U-16 boys team qualified as a State Cup tournament wildcard. This will be the third appearance for the Team Ohio F.C. U16 boys, Ohio Premier Eagles U16 girls, Ohio Premier Eagles U-

18 girls and Ohio Premier Eagles U-19 girls, and the second appearance for the Team Ohio F.C. U-17 boys. “Any of us have a chance to win it,” Team Ohio F.C. club director Steve Dawson said. “If you have good coaching and have kids who stick together and play well together, you can compete at the regional level.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Whetstone running back Jordan Mitchell (Urbana) made it 14-7 when he reversed field and scored on an 18-yard run with 11:35 left in the fourth quarter. The Cap City game began as the City League All-Star game in 2008, but Anthony Murphy, one of the organizers in conjunction with Capcitypreps.com, wanted to get players throughout central Ohio involved. Players from the City, Central Catholic and Mid-State leagues and the

OCC were added, with Interstate 71 as a dividing line. The name of the game was changed last summer, when the East beat the West 22-0. “Last year we had kids from Olentangy Orange becoming friends with kids who live on (Columbus’) west side in the ‘Bottoms’ and picking them up for practice,” Murphy said. “The guys really build relationships out of this and it goes deeper than football.”

a week?” Marion-Franklin’s Jeremy McCoy, who also will play at Kent State, slipped past defenders and caught a 70-yard touchdown pass from Beechcroft quarterback Sheldon Akin (Mesabi Range Community & Technical College) with 1 minute, 36 seconds left in the first half to give the East a 14-0 lead. The East also scored on its opening drive. Westerville South’s Jayshon Jackson (Grand Rapids Community College), the district’s Division I Offensive Player of the Year, capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run. “We really executed our offense in the first half, but I think we got a little bit too conservative in the second half,” said East coach Jeff Pharion, who is the head coach at St. Charles. “We kept it simple with schemes and blitzes defensively, and we executed very well.” The West only crossed midfield twice in the first half.

A n d while his career in Nashville began with a songwriter contract, he’s largely using s o n g s penned by others, meaning he’s making some good, albeit behind-the-scenes, people some money — like Matraca Berg, who, prior to her concert here last month, admitted to The Beat she is often plagued by selfdoubt. Berg co-wrote Chesney’s latest single, a duet with Grace Potter titled You & Tequila. Chesney plays Crew Stadium Saturday, June 25. Tickets are $94.50-$62.50. Call 1-800-7453000. Umphrey’s McGee is a genuine prog-rock band, the 4 musical test-tube baby of the Dixie Dregs and King Crimson.

Umphrey’s McGee

Radhuni is more exotic, less expensive than Indian Oven Lovers of the Indian Oven — and the Oven’s a player with tons of lovers — might suddenly be motivated to stray. See, the Oven’s handsome younger brother has blown into town, and he’s just as hot as the Oven, only even more interesting and exotic. Plus — and this’ll be a big plus for potential paramours — this one sits in an easily accessible neighborhood. Located on Olentangy River Road near Ackerman, Radhuni is the attractive newbie, and its seductive cuisine and proximity to Clintonville, OSU, Upper Arlington and Grandview portend a lengthy list of future friends. Count me in. Radhuni (Bengali for a potent and popular spice) occupies a brightly colored and sleek space that’s long and narrow, completely kitschless and virtually decoration-free. Other than few large and unconventional architectural storage elements, the eye-catchers are limited to a fire-engine red, sky-high ceiling and smooth, cream-colored walls

MENU by G.A. Benton further cooled by deep swaths of soothing blue paint. Radhuni’s food is as distinctive as its appearance. Oh, sure, you can get all of those ho-hum, same-old same-olds like tandoori chicken, but what makes this place special are much rarer dishes, many Bengali in origin. For a hearty starter, target the large and excellent alu kabobs ($6.25). Considering they’re huge and un-skewered tuber croquettes (alu means potato), they’re misleadingly labeled. Considering they’re absolutely delicious — a puffy and plump quartet of crisp breadcrumbed, cumin-kissed mashers with chopped hard egg in the middle — who cares? Equally fun, if a bit greasy, were fried Indochinese treats called cabbage chick-

en rolls ($7). These were like handmade spring rolls jammed with cabbage and a bunch of super-satisfying, mustard seed-powered, minced curried chicken. Chicken again was uncommonly interesting in two standout features listed under House Specialties (where I

was directed by well-informed waiters.) Chickpea chicken ($13) was a bone-in half-chicken stewed in a rich split garbanzo bean base bearing an intensified, dal-like flavor. Adding to the fingerlicking party were turmeric, ginger and a blast of what tasted like that crazy (and for me, addictive) Indian condiment called mixed pickle. The roasted chicken ($14) is one of those killer dinners with a prosaic name belying mouth-walloping flavors. Another half-bird on the bone was perfectly, succulently roasted and drenched in a complex, sweet and spicy, thick and sticky sauce featuring long-cooked onions with a zingy and cardamomleavened curry kick. Moving beyond poultry, the shrimp biryani ($17) had a lot going on, also. Basically a shareable saffron rice dish, it was populated with sweet little freshwater shrimp, coconut, raisins, crushed nuts, peas and Indian aromatics. My only problem with the luscious, unctuous and falling-off-the-bone Ben-

Radhuni Address: 2895 Olentangy River Road, campus Phone: (614) 447-9760 Web: radhunicuisine.com gali lamb shank ($15) was that I wanted more. A glistening, smallish leg of lamb was slathered with a tangy, rich and vinegar-aroused gravy deepened by red and green peppers. Potatoes and rice were provided to sop up every last bit of the wonderful sauce — but if you still lick your plate when nobody’s looking, I’d understand. For a refreshing but comforting dessert, try the cool and pleasantly viscous fruit custard ($5). Healthier than it tastes, it’s tangy homemade yogurt moderately sweetened with “a touch of cream” and chopped mangoes and mandarin oranges. Sure, Indian Oven also offers that, but (shhhh) it’s cheaper at Radhuni — and there are more things to do afterward nearby.

New Yabo’s Tacos touts chef-inspired fresh menu Classically trained by some of the best chefs in the country, Scott Boles has changed culinary directions, to say the least. On June 17, Boles and partners Brent King and Greg Debbe opened Yabo’s Tacos in the former Giammarco’s Pizza & Pasta site at 7097 state Route 3 in Westerville. But it’s not just any taco joint, Boles said. “I have my standards,” he said. They include beef and pork shoulder, each braised for 12 hours in a signature blend of spices. The fish tacos, made of cod loins, are topped with an ancho chile aioli. Yabo’s offers three distinct, homemade sauces: Serrano-lime (hot), chipotle (medium) and “Sissy” (mild) with a base of tomato and chiles. Each is offered tableside and for retail sale. Noth-

ing is frozen. “It’s still slow food,” Boles said. “It’s from-scratch preparation.” Yabo’s menu is pretty straightforward: tacos and burritos, using either white corn or flour tortillas, plus rice bowls and wraps. Aside from braised meats and fish, the menu offers grilled steak, shrimp, chicken and vegetables, and sautéed ground beef. Several salads topped with house-made dressing, plus a white bean and chicken chili and a vegetarian soup round out the menu selections. The 3,000-square-foot interior seats 75, with an additional 50 on the patio. The place has a full liquor license. (Giammarco’s has since moved down the street.)

Boles acknowledges the existing rivalry in the fresh-Mex market from taco trucks, Mexican restaurants, Chipotle, Qdoba and newcomer Hot Head Burritos, which has plans for at least a dozen stores in the Columbus market. “I expect us to see more competition in the future,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ve got a jump on them.” The partners have plans to open five more Yabo’s in the Columbus market. With inexpensive fare, beer and lots of TVs, they’re going after the sports-bar segment of the industry. Boles received an associate’s degree in hotel and restaurant management from Northeastern University and an associate’s degree in culinary arts from Bunker Hill Community College. He considers his top mentors to be Jim Berrini, former personal chef for President John F. Kennedy, and Arthur Bucceri, chef at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. “I suppose what they taught me the most are the lessons of technique,” Boles said. “Technique is key, giving you a style that’s your own and hopefully different and stands out more than other cooks.” Working mostly in resorts across the country, and owning two restaurants of his own, Boles said hasn’t been an active chef for more than 15 years. His life after the restaurant business included everything from being a district manager for a vending-machine business to hawking cell phones to joining the corporate world. But nothing had to do with food. He cooked for many charity events and taught cooking classes to keep fresh, but the restaurant business kept tugging at his apron strings. But he didn’t want to live in the kitchen, something required in a full-service restaurant. By Chris Parker/ThisWeek “Now I’m having a different kind of fun,” he said.
