New Albany-Plain Local Schools

Officials: PLEA contract saves money By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers A new teachers’ contract will take effect June 30 after the New Albany-Plain Local school board approved it June 22. The district is expected to save a total of $3.8 million over the next three years after the Plain Local Education Association (PLEA) asked to renegotiate the

agreement a year before it expired, which would have been June 30, 2012. The contract and its updated documents are available on ThisWeekNews.com. “This is what education looks like,” said Joe Armpriester, vice president of PLEA. “We want to be leaders, not followers. We wanted to be partners in dealing with the fiscal deficit and continue

to move forward, adding programs and continuing to have the same class sizes. … We knew we had to take an active role in reducing costs.” During the June 22 meeting, a report by superintendent April Domine and financial review and reporting committee member Parag Patel said that the new contract is anticipated to save more money than Ohio Senate Bill 5

would have through fiscal year 2014. S.B. 5, which was signed into law by Gov. John Kasich but is not yet in effect, places limits on collective bargaining for Ohio’s public employees. In the time since its passage last spring, opponents of the legislation mounted a campaign to place the issue before voters as a referendum on the November ballot.

By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers New Albany Parks and Recreation is ready to put another levy request on the November ballot. “We’re considering right now going back on the ballot in November,” said Dave Demers, New Albany’s representative to the parks district board. Demers and the village’s other appointee, Richard Williams, spoke to New Albany City Council on June 21. Jeff Johnson, the New Albany-Plain Local School District’s representative to the parks board, told the school board June 22 that the parks district will ask for the same 1-mill permanent levy in November. “This is strictly for operational needs,” Johnson said. Voters rejected Issue 8, a 1-mill replacement levy, in the May 3 election. It would have replaced a 0.75mill permanent levy, which was approved when New Albany Parks and Recreation was formed as the New Albany-Plain Local Joint Park District in 1999 by New Albany, Plain Township and the school district. Each entity appointed a representative to a

By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers After Dave Maul resigned from the New Albany-Plain Local financial review and reporting committee (FRRC) last week, two of the remaining four residents on the committee talked to their school board representatives June 22 about establishing better communication and then agreed to expand their roles. Maul submitted his letter of resignation June 20, citing an inability to help the district with reviewing its finances, which was the mission of the FRRC when the school board formed it in 2010. Laura Kohler, the school board vice president and one of two board members serving on the FRRC, said she was sorry Maul resigned just as the board was ready to have committee members increase their responsibilities and share their expertise in different ways. “I think we’ve been underutilizing the individual expertise of the committee members and it’s time to make a positive change,” Kohler said. Phil Derrow and Parag Patel, the community members on the FRRC who attended the June 22 meeting, said they, like Maul, often felt as though they were not contributing all they could to help the district. The other community members, Chris Luffler and Dave Demers, were absent. After hearing a description of the FRRC duties, Patel said, he felt his strength was in identifying problems and solving them. “I don’t know that I’ve helped,” he said. “If you say I’ve helped, I don’t see it.” Kohler said the committee was asked initially to make recommendations on policy, more than crunching individual numbers. She said the FRRC has greatly influenced the board’s decisions.

Anomatic project receives state incentives Anomatic received a 50-percent, seven-year tax credit June 27 from the state of Ohio for construction of a 75,000-square-foot production facility in New Albany. Anomatic is based in Newark, where its of-

fices will remain, and has production facilities in Newark, Naugatuk, Conn., and China. “Most of our production currently is done in Newark but we need additional capacity, in large part because of our growth with Limited Brands,” said Scott Rusch, company president. The company developed an anodizing system in 1967 and provides customers with colored

metal lids for bottles. 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. The tax credit is a refundable credit, which

PLEA CONTRACT

Continued from page A1 Continued from page A1 increase on base salaries as previously negotiated and would have finished fiscal year 2013 with $967,858. If voters were to reject S.B. 5 and the district were to pay out the 3-percent increase for 2011, it would end fiscal year 2013 with a balance of $9,644. By fiscal year 2014, according to the report, the district would have a negative cash balance. But Domine and Patel estimated the negative balance would be less with the new contract, regardless of the fate of S.B. 5. They estimated the district would have a negative cash balance of $6.67 million in fiscal year 2014 under the terms of the new contract. However, they estimated that if S.B. 5 were to receive voter approval and teachers were working under the former contract, assuming no increases in base salary or step increases in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, the district would end fiscal year 2014 with a negative balance of $7.4 million. If S.B. 5 were to fail, assuming a 1-percent increase on base salary and full step increases in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, the district would end fiscal year 2014 with a negative cash balance of $10.49 million. Armpriester said PLEA officials decided they should renegotiate the contract early after previously hearing the potential for lost revenue in the next three years. The district anticipates losing $8.89 million in revenue over the next two years due to the elimination of federal stimulus money and state tangible personal-property taxes, a reduction in state aid and reductions in property values due to reappraisals. PLEA leaders had to convince their membership to give up a 3-percent increase for 2011 and be willing to give concessions in other areas, such as health-care costs, he said. “There are too many unknowns now,” Armpriester said. “The board wanted to support the staff and we wanted to support the community.” The new contract reduces the increase on teachers’ base salaries from 3 percent to 1 percent for the next three years. When negotiations begin again in three years, the two sides plan to start by using the salaries and benefits from the previous, not the recently negotiated reduction. According to the revised agreement with PLEA that the district provided, “when negotiations for the next contract (begin) in the 2013-2014 school year, the salary index will revert to the index in place during the 2010-2011 school year unless modified by mutual agreement of the parties through the negotiation process.” “It was negotiated as a starting point with no guarantees of anything,” said PLEA president Mike Covey. “Please remember this new contract was a PLEA-initiated action with the board and an unprecedented financial giveback by the

association due to the very poor economy, a major downturn in the property value and the need to cut $8 million over the next two years. Hopefully, in three years, the economy will have made some positive recovery.” The new contract also decreases step increases by nearly half. Step increases are given to teachers based on seniority and education. Armpriester said the step increases are decreasing by 20 percent in the contract’s first year, 40 percent in the second year and 60 percent in the third year. Domine the average step increases ranged from 4 percent and 5.4 percent and are being reduced to 2 percent to 3.4 percent. During negotiations, Armpriester said, the teachers came to the board with a reduction in base-salary increases, but the board said it wasn’t enough, which is how the reduction in step increases came about. Teachers also agreed to change the percentage they pay for health-care coverage, agreeing to pay 15 percent of their health-care costs for single coverage. A provision of S.B. 5 would cap employers’payment of their workers’health insurance at 85 percent. Under the former contract, teachers paid 10 percent for single coverage. The contract also increases employee co-pays, deductibles for family coverage and out-of-pocket expenses. Another provision of the new teachers’ contract will keep health-care costs from increasing by more than 9 percent annually. Domine said the teachers union and administration will have to figure out how to prevent increases over 9 percent. Any changes on what PLEA members already voted on would require another vote, she said. Salaries and benefits were the only pieces of the contract up for negotiations. Communications director Jeff Warner said when the PLEA asked for negotiations to be opened early, it asked to renegotiate salaries and benefits only. Armpriester said the agreement was “in the best interest of the community, the students and the teachers.” “I hope the other labor organizations in the district will follow suit,” he told the district’s financial review and reporting committee June 22. Domine said the district cut more than $5.5 million out of the five-year financial forecast before it was approved by the school board in May. Administrators were able to save $608,000 before the end of the school year, and the board decided in May to eliminate permanent substitute positions and not hire any additional teachers for the 2011-12 school year, thus saving $2.5 million. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

means Anomatic will pay all of its income taxes and be refunded 50 percent annually for the term of the incentive. To receive the incentive, the company must remain in New Albany for 10 years. According to information from the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, the company is investing $8.4 million in “fixed assets, including machinery and equipment.” The 185 new jobs the company plans to create are projected to produce $4.8 million in annual payroll within three years of initial operation at the site, according to information from the state. The project is anticipated to generate $84,000 a year in annual income-tax revenue. The new full-time workers will earn $12.50 per hour, plus $2 per hour in benefits, according to information from the state. Anomatic also has committed to “hiring at least 10 percent disadvantaged and/or minority persons, as defined by the Ohio Administrative Code.” Anomatic senior adviser William Rusch said the company would like to begin work as soon as possible. “We’d like our first day of work (in the new building) to be Jan. 1, 2012,” he said.

The company is building in business park east. New Albany City Council on June 21 approved a 100-percent, seven- to 10-year real propertytax abatement for Anomatic. The term of the abatement will depend the type of facility that is built. Business park east has incentives for buildings using environmentally friendly technology, said Jennifer Chrysler, the city’s community development director. Chrysler said the city has developed a program called Environmental Criteria and Opportunity for Sustainability (ECOS), which gives companies in business park east options to build more environmentally friendly buildings. She said companies that earn 30 percent of the total credits available are eligible to receive an abatement for seven years. Companies meeting 45 percent or more of the total credits can receive an abatement for 10 years. Chrysler said by having ECOS in place, New Albany is creating one of the only “completely ‘green’ business campuses” in central Ohio. The amount of abatements offered does not interfere with the city’s cost to provide services to the buildings, she said. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Concert on the Commons

Several residents gathered at the “On Broadway” Concert on the Commons, presented by the New Albany Arts Council, at New Albany High School on June 26. The New Albany Chorus is performing on stage. The New Albany Community Band, jazz pianist Scott Sadoff and cast members from “Seussical Jr.” were also featured.

GRASS ORDINANCE Continued from page A1 Mecozzi said the legislation was written to address lots with vacant homes that have unmowed lawns. It excludes agricultural areas, “rough” areas on golf courses, educational and research land and meadows. “There are exemptions in the proposed language, including, but not limited to, areas cultivated specifically for wildflowers, vegetable gardens (and) landscaped planting beds, riparian stream corridors, wetlands, platted conservation or preservation areas, agricultural fields, ‘rough’ areas of golf courses or areas used primarily for educational and/or research purposes, so long as the growths are controlled, managed and maintained,” council’s legislative report said. The legislation was introduced at the June 7 council meeting. At that meeting, Ferguson requested city staff members meet with residents who have natural meadows in part of their yards. Local environmentalist Bill Resch, who is building a home on Morgan Road and plans to have a

meadow in part of his yard, said the ordinance was a good compromise that would continue to allow some natural areas in the city. He said the key factor is that the ordinance concerns “platted properties.” “The historic village center and platted subdivisions have initially adopted on development turf grass as their primary landscape design,” Resch said. “Other properties in the village are rural remnants, where historically they have natural vegetation or meadows, and the ordinance allows for that type of landscaping for nonplatted housing in our (city).” As an example, he cited the land on Dublin-Granville Road between the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts and the McCoy center’s offices on Johnstown Road. A creek runs through the property and the grass in the area, in which wildflowers bloom all year, is permitted to grow higher than eight inches, Resch said. Council member Glyde Marsh said he feels the legislation does not control the growth of weeds and said it was “sloppily prepared.” City attorney Mitch Banchefsky

said the city could still use the state’s definition of noxious weeds to prevent tall weeds from growing in the city. Council member Colleen Briscoe, serving as council president pro tempore in Ferguson’s absence, said the ordinance was not written poorly and it is meant to address yards only. “It doesn’t do everything,” she said. “But it’s better to have it than not to have it.” Mecozzi said the legislation was amended to include the ward “swards” on the recommendation of an agronomist. A sward is a stretch of short grass or turf. Once a complaint is filed, the city’s zoning officer would notify the resident advising that the lawn must be mowed within seven days. If the lawn is not mowed in seven days, the city could then mow the lot. If the owner did not pay the costs of mowing within 30 days, the city could forward the costs to the county auditor’s office to be placed as a lien on the property, according to the legislative report. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

PARKS LEVY Continued from page A1 parks board and the group worked to schedule events and operate facilities within the school district’s boundaries. Issue 8 was defeated by a narrow margin: 497 votes to 482. “A 12- to 14-vote loss has not sat well with us,” Williams said. “The community supports and wants the parks. Our land is four times what is was 11 years ago when we started. We’re a victim of our own success.” New Albany Parks and Recreation has grown to include programming for 3,700 participants annually and operates three park complexes in northern Plain Township, according to the parks district’s website. The current 0.75mill levy generates $496,000 annually and is being collected at 0.53 mill, parks director Dave Wharton said last spring. Johnson said the parks district is receiving many complaints about safety and quality, and it will need more funds to maintain the facilities. A 1-mill levy would generate $922,000 annually for parks programs, officials said last spring. During the campaign, parks officials said the funds would be used to install irrigation systems to help fertilize fields, as well as make several improvements to each park. Demers said the parks board believes Issue 8 may have passed if more voters would have gone to the polls in May. “There was a lot of apathy,” he said. Demers said he since has talked to a lot of people and discovered that many assumed it would pass. Williams said the parks board had a long meeting after the issue failed and decided it was best to ramp up the campaign and go back on the ballot. Council member Chip Fellows asked if the parks board believed it got the message out. Fellows said he thought many parents would have been willing to go door to door and talk about the issue.

Williams said parks board members did not get the word out as much as they could have. They chose, for example, not to send people door to door. Fellows asked what other issues would appear on the No-

vember ballot because other levies could cause competition for the parks levy. Demers said at least one other countywide tax issue would be included. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

City council

Amendment specifies share of bed-tax revenue for hotel By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers New Albany City Council on June 21 amended an agreement with New Albany Hotel Associates LLC to include the new LLC name and to correct council legislation denoting the hotel company’s share of local bed-tax revenue. Community development director Jennifer Chrysler said Hotel Development Services would build the hotel, the city’s first. For the project, the company formed New Albany Hotel Associates, a separate limited-liability company. The amendment also will allow New Albany Hotel Associates to receive 50 percent of the bedtax revenue collected by the city to be used for promoting the hotel, according to Chrysler. 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. The city anticipates the hotel company will receive 3 percent of the 6 percent typically collected, according to Chrysler. Chrysler said the original legislation was written with a specific percentage of revenue going back to the hotel company rather than the “50 percent of what is collected” specified by the amendment. The original legislation could have allowed the hotel company to receive more than the 50 percent that was agreed upon. Deputy community development director Kathryn Meyer said she expects the hotel project to break ground this year. The hotel will be built on Forest Drive, north of Smith’s Mill Road. “It will have 122 rooms and it will be 110,000 square feet,” Chrysler said.

Hotel Development Services builds Marriott Courtyard hotels. Chrysler said the company already has its building permit. She said the project has no local incentives, other than a potential sharing of bed-tax revenue. In other business June 21, council approved a zoning change for the New Albany Presbyterian Church, which is building a 12,500-square-foot building at the corner of Johnstown and Harlem roads. The zoning was not required for the church to build on the 11.7-acre lot, said New Albany Co. attorney Aaron Underhill. But Underhill said church members felt it would be better to rezone the property from residential and a comprehensive plannedunit development to one zoning of infill plannedunit development. Council member Glyde Marsh said changing the zoning when not needed might set a bad precedent. The legislation was approved 4-0, with Steve Pleasnick, a member of the church’s building committee, abstaining. Mayor Nancy Ferguson and Chris Wolfe were absent. Council also voted 5-0 to approve a zoning change for 325 acres in the city center, which includes 224 properties not already zoned within a planned-unit development, to the recently passed urban center code designation. Meyer said the code brings all the properties under one zoning classification, which provides more opportunities for development and brings nonconforming uses into compliance. “It’s less restrictive and more consistent,” said council member Colleen Briscoe. lwince@thisweeknews.com

City considers allowing fleet parking for certain businesses By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers New Albany City Council and the city planning commission are considering legislation that would allow some local companies to have fleet parking off-site in the city’s general employment (GE) and limited industrial (LI) districts. “This would be modified where the larger business users are, only in the business parks,” said Kathryn Meyer, deputy community development director. Meyer presented a legislative amendment to the New Albany Planning Commission on June 20. The commission tabled the legislation pending more information. City council then heard first reading of the legislation June 21. Council typically passes legislation on a second reading, which has been set for July 19. Meyer said the city currently only allows fleet parking as an “accessory use” for warehouses and distribution facilities. The amended legislation would allow fleet parking as a “conditional use” in the GE and LI districts. Meyer said the legislation as written would require the parking to be associated with a primary user, require additional landscaping of the parking area and would not allow immobile vehicles

to be parked there. She said city staff members wrote the legislation requiring the fleet parking area to be within 300 feet of the primary user, thinking the parking normally would be located across the street or at an adjacent lot. “Proximity was important to us,” Meyer said. Planning commission member Brad Shockey asked if a company could move the parking 500 feet away if it could get a variance. Meyer said it could not because that would require a variance of use, which would not be allowed. Shockey said the legislation might be too restrictive. “In some situations, they could have a better location further away and this precludes that,” Shockey said. Commission members also asked about the required landscaping, which could include mounds to prevent people from seeing the entire parking lot. Members recommended the slope of the mounds be changed to allow a more natural-looking environment. Meyer said the legislation would apply primarily to the area near Smith’s Mill Road and Beech Road, where tax incentives, such as the city’s taxincrement financing (TIF) districts, preclude businesses from combining lots to add more parking. lwince@thisweeknews.com

Residents on FRRC get new roles Continued from page A1 “You’ve been helpful with bigpicture issues and changed the conversation in the district, as well,” Kohler said. Cheri Lehmann, the other school board member on the FRRC, also said the community members “made a big impact on the decisions I’ve made.” Patel said discussions on lowering the average cost of educating one student, for example, could be frustrating. The FRRC discussed that issue for the last two months in relation to the five-year forecast. “I’m not sure I feel like we have contributed to furthering your agenda,” he said. “I’ve seen where a lot of work has been done, but I’m not sure where my input is needed or has helped. “We often are given a financial analysis, like when trying to lower the cost per student. But, if you give me the data, I can look at it and say, ‘Here’s where we are spending and why.’” Patel said those conversations also help the FRRC members understand how they can help the district. “Once we know the rules, we know how to operate and what level of review you do want,” he said. Derrow said he is more of a “strategy person than a detail man,” which is why working on policy suits him. But he, too, said he understood the more detail-oriented committee members’remarks. He said more details would raise questions the administration may not have thought about and that process drives strategy decisions. Lehmann said the committee members’ roles would expand if they were willing to put in more time. The committee members agreed to the following projects: Patel will work on operational efficiency with superintendent April Domine; Derrow will work with Domine and Ken Stark, director of operations, on health-care improvements; Demers will work with Domine and Stark on a review of the McCoy center contract; and Luffler will work with

Domine on budget review for fiscal year 2012. In his resignation letter, Maul said that he and Luffler had repeatedly asked the administration to allow them to go over the budget line by line. “The (school board) essentially road-blocked the FRRC from having any significant involvement by taking the position that it was not the job of the FRRC to look into any of the details but instead to provide policy oversight only,” Maul wrote. Kohler said the timing of Maul’s resignation was unfortunate because she and Lehmann already had decided to expand the committee members’ roles to delve into those details. “We need your help and your ideas to help us get better,” Kohler said. She then reminded the FRRC “the five of us (school board members) were elected to make decisions and work in partnership with the administration we have hired and trust to do their jobs well. Ultimately, the buck stops with us.” Kohler said one of the reasons she was concerned about increasing the role of the committee is because it requires more time from the administration to do in-depth reviews and provide detailed explanations of how the district can operate. “There is a difference between what we do and what manufacturers do,” Kohler said. “I would just remind you that our goal always is centered on students and what’s best for the children.” The committee members also raised another question, one Maul also wrote about in his resignation letter, regarding the negotiations with the Plain Local Education Association (PLEA) on the new teachers’ contract. Derrow said there is some disagreement on what can and can’t be shared with people during negotiations. Since the FRRC was formed to make recommendations on financial issues and salaries and benefits make up 80 percent of the district’s $50-million budget, he said, it would have been better if the board had told the FRRC

it was entering negotiations with PLEA instead of inviting the committee members to a school board workshop to tell them what already had been negotiated. “It was a surprise, and nobody likes surprises,” Derrow said. He also said community members did not understand negotiations were happening, either. Derrow said the school board always states the reasons for having a private executive session, but no one specifically said the session was related to contract negotiations. According to recent school board meeting agendas and minutes, preparation for negotiations or bargaining sessions with employees was listed as a reason for the board to go into executive session at least eight times since March 21. “Preparation for conduct or review of negotiations or bargaining sessions with public employees” was listed on the agendas and read publicly before each executive session March 21,April 11,April 18,April 25, May 9, May 23, June 13 and June 22, in compliance with Ohio’s open-meeting laws. As for the negotiation process, the district’s attorney, Dane Gashen of Bricker and Eckler, said state law passed in 1984 made the negotiations private to “allow for free-flowing dialogue.” “The (Ohio) Supreme Court upheld that to prevent the fear of outside influence,” he said. Derrow said they understood

“the negotiations have to be private, but to say, ‘There is the existence of negotiations’ may not have to be private.” Lehmann defended the board’s actions. “We did the best we thought we could be doing at the time,” she said. “We thought we were being open by announcing (the executive sessions) at the meetings.” In the future, Kohler said, the board would be more direct with the FRRC. At its June 22 meeting, the school board announced an executive session for “consideration of the evaluation of a public employee and for preparations for negotiations or bargaining sessions with employees.” When ThisWeek asked if contract negotiations could be included, school board president Mark Ryan said yes, because the district has contracts in place with other employees. Mike Ford, vice president of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees (OAPSE), said OAPSE has a contract in place that expires in June 2012. He could not confirm that negotiations had started but said the union currently is talking about beginning negotiations. The PLEA’s contract was set to expire in June 2012, as well, but union leaders requested early negotiations due to the pending loss of revenue projected for the district. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The New Albany-Plain Local benchmarking committee is reviewing information on at least 10 schools that could help the district complete its vision of “reinventing education,” superintendent April Domine told the school board June 22. “We’re digging into what ‘reinventing education’ means,” Domine said. “It’s a constant conversation that’s always evolving.” Domine said the benchmarking committee has been working since February to determine how to find the best-performing schools in the nation.

Kathy Vinciguerra is one of the committee members talking to the charter school in Tuscon. She said the school is willing to share information, which can help New Albany determine its own strengths and weaknesses. She said it can provide a “wellrounded assessment, which can provide information on where we are and where we want to be.” Vinciguerra said the committee’s work could help New Albany learn shortcuts to achieve its vision and mission by adding new programs that other schools already are doing. “I’m proud of where we are and excited that we want to get

better,” Vinciguerra said. Neil Collins, another committee member, told the board June 22 it was good to see “how many different versions of good there are out there, both public and private.” Domine said the committee hopes to identify the top three high-performing schools from the phone interviews. She said the committee could visit them this year. School board vice president Laura Kohler suggested having a public meeting when the three are indentified to share the committee’s work with the public. Domine said the benchmarking committee was formed

through one of the district’s initiatives in its strategic plan, which was adopted last year. It includes 46 members that represent the community, district staff, school unions, students, parent-teacher organizations, Plain Township and New Albany. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

New Albany wins award for communications plan New Albany recently earned a Diamond Award for its communications plan during the the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) East Central District Diamond Awards competition, according to a press release from the city. The competition was open to members of 16 PRSA chapters in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. “When we created the (public infor-

mation officer) position three years ago, one of our goals was to implement a communications plan that reflects the importance we place on community outreach and dialogue here in New Albany,” said city manager Joseph Stefanov in a city press release. “This award illustrates that we’re on the right path in our engagement efforts.” Scott McAfee is New Albany’s communications director. New Albany’s entry was judged in

the integrated communications-government category, which included local, state and federal government agencies, the armed forces, chambers of commerce and educational institutions. New Albany’s communication plan, which was the only entry from central Ohio to earn a Diamond Award in the competition, was described as “the roadmap for how community leaders regularly engage with the public and promote New Albany as a friendly and

inspiring community,” according to the press release. The award was presented to city staff members at the PRSA Central Ohio Chapter’s June luncheon. “This award genuinely reflects New Albany’s strong commitment to strategic communications and community engagement, and I applaud them for these efforts,” Todd Bailey, the PRSA Central Ohio chapter president, said in the release.

Wrestling

Weight classes adjusted for next season By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers Some area high school wrestling coaches aren’t pleased with the new guidelines for weight classes but realize their teams will need to adapt. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) approved the changes during its meeting April 46 in Indianapolis. Tim Stried, director of information services for the Ohio High School Athletic Association, said the changes will

be in effect for the coming season. It is the first significant change in weight classes in 23 years. The lowest weight class, 103 pounds, is being increased to 106, which resulted in new weights in 10 of the 14 classes. The new weight classes are 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285. Only 145, 152, 160 and 285 remain unchanged. The previous weight classes were 103, 112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215 and 285.

“The NFHS has been studying the weight classes in wrestling for several years to determine which weight classes are most appropriate for today’s student-athletes across the country that will result in fewer classes going unfilled,” Stried said. “These new weight classes are the result of countless hours of data analysis by the NFHS, and Ohio will certainly comply with the new weight classes. Like anything, it will take some time for our member schools to be comfortable with the changes, but we can all appreciate that the NFHS is trying to do the

right thing for kids.” Westerville North coach David Grant is concerned that the increase in the lowest weight to 106 will adversely affect lighter competitors. Grant said his 103-pounder last season, Santino DiSabato, weighed between 85 and 90 pounds, but now is moving closer to 106 in preparation for next season. “I don’t like the weight class changes because it hurts the kids that are little,” Grant said. “I have Santino DiSabato, who had a hard time making 103. Now

they take it to 106, so it hurts the younger kids, the freshmen. You’re going to have a lot of kids not able to be competitive at that weight. They’re too young, too little.” Hilliard Davidson coach Dominic DiSabato, Santino’s uncle, is not in favor of the shift in weight classes. “For our program, I’m not a big fan of it,” he said. “We’ll try to get every weight class filled and then wrestle. It will hurt us in duals. Hopefully, we have a couple See WRESTLING, page B4

Columbus team wins Davis Cup tourney By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tyler Stephen, who recently was named coach of the Dublin Jerome High School girls tennis team, will enter his new job this fall with a fresh perspective of the sport in central Ohio. Stephen and Worthington Kilbourne boys tennis coach Steve Metzmaier guided an 11-player team of some of the area’s top boys and girls tennis players to a firstplace finish in the Ohio Valley Davis Cup on June 18-19 in Charleston, W.Va. “It was kind of nice to have all that talent on the same team,” said Stephen, who also is coach of the Thomas Worthington boys team. “Most of the time these kids are competing against each other in tournaments, so they all knew each other. But it was a little different situation because now they By Chris Parker/ThisWeek were competing with each other.

Two area teams win pools, advance to semifinals By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Only two of the nine central Ohio boys and girls soccer teams competing in the Midwest Regional Cup, held June 25-29 in Fox Cities, Wis., won their four-team pool to advance to a semifinal. Four of seven local squads reached

a semifinal in 2009 and three of eight area teams made it to a semifinal last year. However, Crew Juniors Under-19 boys coach Brian Bliss said the decrease in central Ohio pool-play winners probably was because of bad luck and not a lack of talent or effort. Bliss led the Crew Juniors U-19 boys

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Team Ohio F.C.

U-18 boys settle for 2nd in pool play By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Team Ohio F.C. Blast Under-18 boys soccer team found itself with a shortened bench in the Midwest Regional Cup in Fox Cities, Wis., after defender Angelo Pagani and midfielder Drew Pang were injured in the first game. Despite the loss of those starters, Team Ohio Blast managed to go 1-0-1 in its first two pool-play games, tying CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati at 2 on June 25 and beating the Michigan Wolves 3-0 on June 26. However, it couldn’t overcome the ejection of starting defender Max Rohda less than 20 minutes into its final game of pool play June 27 and lost to the KCFC Rangers from Kansas 1-0. The KCFC Rangers won their four-team pool with a 3-0 record and nine points to advance to a semifinal June 28, while Team Ohio Blast finished second (11-1, 4). “That was a nightmare because we had a player sent off the field for a penalty that didn’t happen,” coach Steve Dawson said. “We had three players collide and the referee gave (Rohda) a red card out of it. They got a penalty shot on that play, too, and our goalkeeper (A.J. Fleak) made a great save to keep us in the game. Our team dealt with the situation the best they could and Colton Bloecher had a couple of great opportunities where he could have scored, as did Frazier Fernandes. But it was tough to play with 10 men because it was warm and it was our third game in three days. Our players grew tired as the game wore on and we finally gave up a goal with about 20 minutes left.” Jesus Villarroel and Bloecher each scored goals to help Team Ohio Blast rally from a 2-0 deficit to tie CUP Crew Juniors. The following day, Bloecher, Villarroel and Fernandes scored as Team Ohio Blast defeated the Michigan Wolves. “We had some injuries, but we played well overall and came one win away from making it past group play,” Dawson said. •The Team Ohio Green U17 boys team went 0-1-2 to finish third in its pool with two points behind Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors (3-0, 9) and Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier (1-1-1, 4).

Team Ohio Green opened June 25 by tying Shattuck-St. Mary’s from Minnesota at 1, as Ray Gans scored the tying goal on a penalty kick with 20 minutes remaining. The next day, Team Ohio Green battled Elm Grove Premier to a scoreless tie behind goalkeeper A.J. Tresoline. “It’s frustrating because we played better than both those teams and should have beaten them, but we didn’t finish our chances,” defender A.G. Basiakos said. “We played great defense, but we didn’t score enough to win.” On June 27, Team Ohio Green lost to the Grand Rapids Crew Juniors 4-2 despite goals from Ryan Magee and Trevin Pitroff. The Grand Rapids Crew Juniors, who are ranked first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, outscored their first two opponents 11-0. “We were the first team to score against Grand Rapids and By Patrick Ferron/ThisWeek we were down only 3-2 late in Sage Gardner of the Ohio Crew Juniors U-19 team chases down the ball on June 25 during a game against St. Croix, Minn.

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Classics Eagles

Missed chances haunt U-13 boys team By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Even though the Classics Eagles Under-13 boys soccer team had squandered several scoring chances against the Wichita (Kan.) Lightning in its Midwest Regional Cup opener June 25, coach Mike Lentz felt comfortable with a late one-goal lead because his squad was dominating possession. However, those missed opportunities came back to haunt the Classics Eagles. A Lightning player drew a foul 19 yards from the team’s goal with under a minute

left and scored on a free kick to tie the game at 1. That tie proved costly to the Classics Eagles in the tournament in Fox Cities, Wis. They lost to Vardar from Michigan 4-0 the following day and eventually finished third in their four-team pool with a 1-1-1 record and four points behind Cleveland Pacesetter (2-1, 6) and Vardar (2-1, 6). Out of the Classics Eagles’pool, only Cleveland Pacesetter advanced to a regional semifinal June 28. Cleveland Pacesetter finished first on a tiebreaker because it had beaten Vardar.

Nick Teutsch beat three defenders en route to scoring on a low, hard shot just inside the far post to put the Classics Eagles ahead 1-0 in the first half against the Lightning. Will Bolton almost made it 2-0 with 20 minutes left, but his shot hit the left post. “We had total ball control and we only gave up one shot on goal each half, so I felt pretty comfortable in the way we were playing even after we missed out on all of those chances to score a second goal,” Lentz said. “But we got called for a foul and gave up that late goal, and

it took away our momentum and confidence. Had we won that game, I’d like to think we’d have played much better against Vardar. Knowing we had to beat Vardar to have a chance to win our pool, we pushed forward a little more than usual, which left us more vulnerable defensively. And we just didn’t match Vardar’s intensity.” The Classics Eagles concluded pool play June 27 with a 2-0 victory over Cleveland Pacesetter. A.J. Smith scored what would become the winner 12 minutes into the game from 25 yards out.

In the second half, Teutsch scored off an assist from Jake Harr and goalkeeper A.J. Smith made a diving save to his left to preserve the shutout. “That was the best we’ve played all spring,” Lentz said. “We dismantled them in every category, especially when it came to shots on goal and time of possession. It was nice to beat our group winner. We finished a great spring run with a commanding performance.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Ohio Premier

Eagles advance two girls squads to semis By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Ohio Premier Eagles advanced two of four girls soccer teams to Midwest Regional Cup semifinals after pool play concluded June 27 in Fox Cities, Wis. Ohio Premier went 10-2 overall in pool play. The Under-13 and U-16 squads both went 3-0 in pool play and played in semifinals June 28. The regional winners in the U-14 through U-19 age groups, which were determined June 29, advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in Phoenix on July 27-31. The Eagles U-13 team played Eclipse Select of Illinois in its semifinal. Eclipse is a familiar opponent for Ohio Premier. “Unfortunately, our semifinal is the one that everyone says should be the final, but in a blind draw, this happens,” coach Kevin Dougherty said. “We’re friends with the Eclipse and know a lot about them. They have a huge organization that draws from a large area. We’ve played all five of their 13U club teams, but then they combine their best players for the tournaments. They have many very special players.” The Eagles defeated Carmel (Ind.) United SC Elite 3-1 to open pool play. They then beat Greater Toledo FC 5-0 and advanced to a semifinal by beating Centennial (Minn.) 4-0. Against Carmel, Kristen McFarland scored twice and Alivia Milesky also scored. Sam Grim made four saves but allowed a late goal. She then earned the shutout against Toledo, as McFarland scored and assisted on goals by Madison Moroi and Aubrei Corder. Milesky and Bailey Williams also scored. Against Centennial, Moroi had two goals. Corder and McFarland also scored and Grim and Parker Myers were rarely challenged in net. “We scored three goals in the first nine minutes and just began moving girls around, having some fun, working on some things and just trying not to get anyone injured,” Dougherty said. •The U-16 team had to get past Eclipse Select in pool play to advance, and the Eagles did that in dramatic fashion in the finale to move on to a semifinal against KC Force on June 28. The Eagles beat Eclipse Select on the 10th penalty kick after neither team had scored entering the penalty kicks sessions. Both teams scored on two of five penalty kicks to force the extra one-kick rounds, where they matched each other’s efforts until Bailey Wilson converted in the 10th round after Eagles goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas had stopped Eclipse’s 10th kick. James-Buhigas made five saves in the penalty kicks phase. “She was unbelievable and came up with huge saves when we needed them,” said coach Chris King, whose team outscored its opponents 10-0 in pool play. “Usually, you tell the keeper to get one save in (penalty kicks) and we’ll win it. She had

saves on five of 10 penalty kicks and they were off frame with another. She was just outstanding.” The Eagles won their first two games 7-0 against KC Fusion and 3-0 against Michigan Football Club to put themselves into a points tie with Eclipse before their showdown. “The maximum goal-differential in tiebreakers here is four per game, so both us and Eclipse had seven total points entering (the June 27 pool finale),” said King, who also guided the Eagles’ U-18 team to the regional tournament. “We knew going into it that there had to be a winner and that it could go to penalty kicks. One team was going to the semifinal and the other was going home.” Two years ago, the clubs played in the U-16 regional championship and the Eclipse won in a shootout to send the Eagles home. Against the Fusion, the Eagles used three goals from Lindsay Agnew and one apiece from Nicole Hopkins, Alexis Milesky, Hannah O’Shaughnessy and Brooke Maletic. O’Shaughnessy, Milesky and Agnew scored against Michigan Football Club. The defense was strong in front of James-Buhigas, who made just five total saves in the first two pool games. •The U-19 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance. The Eagles opened by beating Dynamo of Indiana 5-1 before losing to defending regional champion Eclipse (Ill.) 3-0 and beating Bloomfield (Mich.) 5-1 in the finale. Against Dynamo, Sarah Gross scored twice. Also scoring were Nadja Kolliesuah, Ellie Gavin and

Casey Barrett. Shannon Flowers made three saves. Against Eclipse, the teams played a scoreless first half. The Eagles trailed 1-0 with about 10 minutes left when they changed their strategy to try to apply more offensive pressure. “The first half was evenly contested, but we should’ve scored first and led at half,” coach Matt Ogden said. “We needed at least a draw, so it didn’t matter if the final was 1-nil or 3-nil. We had 13 players and they wore us down in the second half. But if we score first, we can play a little different style and try to preserve the lead and get a positive result.” The Eagles got goals from Barrett, Gross, Andrea Hulls and Amber Kern in the finale, as well as an own-goal from Bloomfield. “We had nothing to play for, so we made it a farewell game for these girls who have played together for a long time,” Ogden said. “Flowers marshaled the box pretty well, but we controlled tempo and possession throughout after we fell behind 10. We definitely feel that we are a team worthy of advancing, but it wasn’t meant to be. If we played Eclipse on a different day, things might have been different. But we made mistakes and that’s soccer.

We came back and played hearts-out and that was fantastic.” •The U-18 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance. The Eagles lost their opener 3-1 to KCFC Intensity. They beat Eden Prairie (Minn.) 2-1 and then won 5-2 over Dakota Alliance Black of South Dakota. King was disappointed by the opening loss, but credited the Intensity. “That’s the best team we’ve played in the last two seasons,” King said. “We were down 2-1 and gave ourselves a couple good chances to even it up. But we were unable to do that and we started pressing and got caught forward. We exposed ourselves and they got the extra goal.” Ashley Gruenbaum scored for Ohio Premier. The Eagles trailed Eden Prairie 1-0 after allowing a goal just before halftime. But Jesse Sabers tied it and Michela Paradiso scored the winner with around 11 minutes remaining. Goalie Abbey Smith preserved the win from there. bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Women’s Basketball

Area players shine for Hidden Gems By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

At a glance

Tapre Young could have several options in terms of her basketball career if things continue in the direction they’ve been going this summer. Now in her third season as a captain on the Columbus Hidden Gems semi-professional team, the 2004 Dublin Scioto High School graduate is one of the top outside shooters in the Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League. At 5-foot-11, Young averages more than 15 points and has been shooting better than 50 percent from 3-point range. That combination could make her an attractive possibility for overseas teams looking for players for their seasons, which begin in the fall. “I haven’t played anywhere overseas, but hopefully I will after this season,” Young said. “I really wouldn’t mind playing in Spain, France or anywhere in Europe. I’d even consider Australia. Any time you can get paid for what you do, it’s a good thing.” If Young is unable to land a professional contract, she has an offer to serve as an assistant coach for the Talladega (Ala.) College women’s team. After graduating from Scioto, Young played two seasons for Muskingum and two seasons for Salem International, a Division II school in Salem, W.Va. She then served one season as a student-assistant coach and graduated from Talladega College. Young, who celebrated her 25th birthday June 26, is one of seven players on the Hidden Gems who are central Ohio na-

tives. “(The Women’s Blue Chip League) is good competition, especially when you get to nationals,” Young said. “I like the fact that you get an opportunity to play and it gives you the opportunity to get looked at overseas. It’s a chance to showcase your talents.” After getting off to a 2-0 start, the Hidden Gems were 3-4 after losing to the Cleveland Crush 84-74 on June 25. On Saturday, July 2, Columbus will play host to the Oakland-Macomb Run from Oakland, Mich., in a Northeast Division game. The Hidden Gems lost to the Run 87-67 on June 5 but won a rematch 97-85 on June 12. The Hidden Gems play their home games at Lazelle Woods Recreation Center in north Columbus near Worthington. The roles of Young and cocaptain Lorrie Poindexter, a 2003 Beechcroft graduate in her second year playing for Columbus, are more extensive than a year ago when former Ohio State player Brandie Hoskins and former Bowling Green player Niki McCoy were among the key players. Jeannie Saunders, who also was a captain a year ago, has been out with an injury but could

13 to 14 and the 215-pound weight class became mandatory, and in 2006, when the 275-pound class was increased to 285. The NFHS also adopted a rule change involving the figure four hold around the head, which now is illegal. Previously, the figure four was illegal around the body or both legs. “I like the new rule, it will work out,” Grant said. “The figure four is unfair. It’s a pretty big advantage to have that locked up like that. I don’t like the figure four. ... Two legs against the neck is usually not a good idea.” In another change, the boundary line now is considered inbounds. Previously, a wrestler was out of bounds if he or she was touching any part of the line, which is two inches wide. “I like expanding the mat a little bit and having the line inbounds instead of out of bounds,” coach DiSabato said. “I’m just curious how it’s going to be called because of the size of the gyms. The mats are closer together, but you award the aggressor as much as you can and that tends to help out if the line is inbounds rather than out of bounds.”

bigger kids coming out for the team next year and it won’t hurt us as bad as it could have in the past. We just have to have our wrestlers wrestle the best they can. The other schools are in the same position we are.” Marysville coach Shawn Andrews said his program will adapt to the new guidelines, and he believes the changes might help his team next season. Andrews said he expects the lower weights to be a strength of his program. “Looking at it selfishly for a year or two, it helps Marysville specifically because it’s where we have more guys than less guys, but in the broad scope of wrestling, it seems a little odd that they took away a weight class from some of the weight classes that are most competitive and then added some at the top,” Andrews said. “It helps some kids from football or some kids who are concerned about losing too much weight between 171 and 189.” According to the NFHS, the last major change in weight classes occurred in 1988, when the lowest class was increased from 98 to 103. The only other changes since then were in 2002, when fdirenna@thisweeknews.com the number of classes went from www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Its U-13 squad went 3-0 to win its pool and its U-16 team advanced on a tiebreaker by beating Eclipse Select of Illinois 1-0 on penalty kicks. In semifinals played June 28, the U-13 team played Eclipse Select and the U-16 team played KCFC Force from Kansas. The finals were held June 29. Regional champions in the U14 through U-19 age groups advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix. The Ohio Premier Eagles’ U18 and U-19 teams each went 21 to finish second in their pools. Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 coach Kevin Dougherty was surprised to see his squad outscore its three pool play opponents 121. “It’s pretty unusual to win three games here the way we did because all the teams competing here are very good,”

Saunders and 2006 Delaware graduate Ashleigh Brown, who has played limited minutes with the Hidden Gems this season because of other commitments, recently signed extensions to play for a team in Sweden in the fall. Jamika Banks, a Fort Wayne, Ind., native who also was expected to play for Columbus, currently is playing in Australia. Catherine Cain, a Dayton native, has been averaging 19 points and 12 rebounds. Jessica Slack, a Thornville Sheridan graduate, averages 13 points. The other central Ohio natives on the Hidden Gems are 1999 Brookhaven graduate Ebony Pegues, 2001 Mifflin graduate Sherrie Griffin, 2006 Africentric graduate Janicia Anderson and 2003 Walnut Ridge graduate Tina Huff. Columbus has three games remaining in the regular season before competing in the regional tournament in late July in Flint, Mich. The national tournament will be held Aug. 6-7 in Atlanta.

Classes offered in football officiating Dougherty said. “The way our U-16 team made it is more typical of this kind of tournament because there isn’t much separating most teams from a win or loss here.” All five local boys teams fell short of qualifying for the semifinals. The Crew Juniors U-19 and Team Ohio F.C. Blast U-18 (1-1-1 in pool play) each finished second in their pools, and the Classics Eagles U-13 (1-11), Team Ohio F.C. Green U-17 (0-1-2) and Team Ohio F.C. Juventus U-16 (1-2) each placed third in their pools. Classics Eagles U-13 boys coach Mike Lentz said most

teams were just a couple favorable bounces or calls away from winning an extra game or two to advance. “There’s a lot of parity at this level,” Lentz said. “Looking at our bracket, three of the four teams could have come out on top on any given weekend. We had an untimely call go against us in our first game and it ended up completely changing our destiny for the tournament. If we would have caught a lucky break or two who knows how far we could have made it.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Learn at the Zoo

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

Juvenile eagles look very different from adult eagles. The eagle’s first feathers are all brown, including their head and tail; like this picture of Cheyenne who lives at the Zoo too. They also have a dark beak that turns yellow as they mature. These changes take place during the first five years of their life.

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

Foodwise (chips and an interesting salsa bar are on the house), the slightly spicy Shrimp Tostadas appetizer ($8) delivered the double crunch of deepfried shellfish nachos. Its side players were a cilantro aioli with bits of blue cheese; a warm, smoky and chunky salsa; and a nifty jicama salad. At least as good were the unique Sweet Plantains ($6.50). These were slathered in a spicy, sweet and smoky barbecue type sauce and served with jalapeno pesto plus a cooling-off yogurt dip. As for entrees, Cabo’s got tacos, bur-

ritos, fajitas, et al., but — against type — I preferred the fusion-y, MexiCaribbean stuff from the “Cabo Specialties” section. Among these, the Adobo Pork Mojados ($12.50) were pretty good: big chunks of tender and fatty pig en-

robed in a fruity, red mole-type sauce. These came with excellent beer- and onion-flavored whole “borracho” beans. I got those same neat frijoles, along with cheesy rice, to accompany the recommended Jerk Chicken relleno

($10.50). Served open-faced, the relleno featured charred peppers, tender meat and fruity accents. For more of a showstopper, though, target the Spicy and Crunchy Tilapia ($15). It’s a pretty plate rimmed with a tangy, creamy and smoky tomato sauce and starring darkly crusted, lightly panfried fish. The successful collision of flavors also includes dense, (sometimes) bacon-y smashed plantains, a scorchedcorn salsa and more of that jalapeno aioli. This tilapia’s so good you’ll remember enjoying it even if you later float off into a little summertime trance. I know I did.

The family-run restaurant was born of the culinary diverse background of Ken Tsai, the chef and partner who has spent 50 years cooking in the restaurant business.

The new enterprise, 974 W. Fifth Ave., reunites Tsai with Jin Su. The two met while working together 30 years ago in their native Taiwan. Ricky Tsai, son of the chef and also a partner, doesn’t want the restaurant’s name to be misunderstood. Aloha will not serve Hawaiian cuisine, but rather will draw on the state’s reputation as a melting pot of Asian cuisines. The style of food has become increasingly popular on the West Coast, he said. “You don’t see this in the Midwest. This is some-

thing we wanted to bring to the area,” said Tsai, whose wife, Sammi, will manage the restaurant. The menu focuses on a smattering of Hawaiian entrees, many of which use the restaurant’s three homemade barbecue sauces — katsu, teriyaki and Hawaiian barbecue — which offer their own sweet, distinctive tastes. Pork, chicken, shortribs and beef are marinated for 24 hours before being cooked to order. Other dishes, such as the shrimp and mahimahi, are deep-fried. The menu delves into several Asian cuisines: Japanese, Thai and Chinese, with several noodle dishes — soups included — and stir-fried entrees. A few salads and starters are part of the lineup, as well. For logistical reasons, they shied away from sushi but do offer spam musubi, a Hawaiian dish that riffs on Japanese nigiri, a firm square of grilled spam on top of rice and held in place by a band of nori. Tsai said he recognizes the competition from nearby restaurants such as CoCo’s Grill, Happy House, Nong’s Hunan Express and Mark Pi’s Express, so most prices at his restaurant are in the $6.25 to $7.95 range. Alcohol is not served. Aloha is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-298-9688.

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

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

The Goat tavern has opened at 5730 Silver Falls St., off Hayden Run Road in the Dublin area. It’s the third in central Ohio. At 8,000 square feet, it’s the biggest store yet, and offers two volleyball courts with access to a nearby pool. The place offers a standard tavern bill of fare, including burgers, pizzas, wings, salads, sandwiches and appetizers. The first Goat opened in 2003 in New Albany, followed by another location in Gahanna.

street to a bigger location. The nine-year-old bar now occupies a 2,700square-foot spot at 2096 W. Henderson Road. Owner Jason Eisenhauer said he completely rebuilt the interior of the space, which used to be a salon. He’s also in the process of building a patio. On a related note, the pub has introduced food service, although it’s limited because there is no hood system. The menu includes traditional tavern fare, such as subs, panini sandwiches, pizza and The UA Pub has moved just a hair down the wings.
