City manager search narrowed to three By CHRIS BOURNEA

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington City Council members say they have narrowed down the search for a new city manager to three candidates. The successful candidate will replace city manager Virginia Barney, who will retire at the end of the year. As of ThisWeek’s press deadline, the city had not identified finalist candidates. In March, Upper Arlington City Council voted to hire consultant Heather Renschler of Rocklin, Calif.-based Ralph Andersen and Associates at a cost of

$19,000 to conduct the city manager search. Renschler advertised the position through the International City/County Managers Association and other municipal organizations, said council member Ed Seidel. Forty-six candidates submitted applications for the position, including two internal candidates who currently work for the city of Upper Arlington: assistant city manager Joe Valentino and Matthew Shad, deputy city manager for

economic development. The consultant narrowed the list to seven candidates for council’s consideration, and council members interviewed six of candidates in executive session at a June 9 special meeting at First Community Village, Seidel said. “Overall, we’re looking for somebody who can communicate with our public and with council and think somewhat outside of the box,” he said. “I think we do a lot of things the same way we’ve

always done them. Somebody coming in with a fresh set of eyes can be helpful.” City council president Frank Ciotola said one of the qualities he is looking for is experience in a community similar to Upper Arlington. Council is seeking candidates with “integrity and experience and management styles that we think would be a good fit for our community. We’re looking for folks that have experience with some of the challenges we’re facing as a first-ring suburb,” Ciotola said. Council vice president Mary Ann

For the past 14 years, Upper Arlington High School principal Kip Greenhill has been the most senior principal in Franklin County. “I’ve been doing it longer than anyone else in the county for 14 years. I’ve loved it, but I want to do other things now,” he said. Greenhill announced his his plans to resign in May. The 2011-12 school year will mark the end of his 25-year career as a high school principal. For Greenhill, the job has been all-consuming. “I’ve never really had any real hobbies. I literally live here at the school,” he said. “I am here just about every night. I’ve put almost every living hour into being a high school principal for the past 25 years.” Even so, Greenhill says he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I love it. I absolutely love it. It’s just the right job for me. It’s a great job, but it’s not an easy job,” he said. School board member Bob Arkin said Greenhill is known for his dedication. “Kip Greenhill doesn’t do what most people do, his job. He is his job. He lives it, he loves it and that shows in dozens of ways,” Arkin said. “I don’t believe I have ever seen a better fit between someone’s skills and character and the career they have pursued.”

Krauss said she is also looking for leadership qualities that will enable the city to maintain consistency in administration. “This council has a legacy to uphold,” Krauss said. “We’ve only had four or five city managers since Upper Arlington went to a city manager form of government in the 1950s.” Wade Steen, chair of council’s finance committee, said budget experience and financial acumen are also important qualities.

Upper Arlington principal Kip Greenhill addresses the graduating seniors at their commencement ceremony on June 5 at Veterans Memorial. Greenhill had announced his plans to resign in May.

Greenhill’s ability to connect with every individual student at UAHS even spawned a few legends. “There was a rumor that always seemed to circulate that he studied flashcards over the summer of the 500 or so students that were entering as freshmen each year,” said Joshua David Arkin, a member of the class

of 2007. “I’m still not certain if this was true, but it was certainly possible. I can’t remember a single instance in which he couldn’t remember a student’s name.” After earning his bachelor’s degree at Baldwin-Wallace College, Greenhill taught See GREENHILL, page A3

The Upper Arlington Community Improvement Corp. is working to develop a businessretention strategy as a part of its partnership with the Columbus 2020 initiative and Upper Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce programs. “We met with Mark James of Columbus 2020, who helped set our agenda and has offered to set up training sessions for us,” chamber president Becky Hajost said at the June 16 CIC meeting. “We’re looking at a three-pronged approach to our retention planning, and right now trying to do what we can with limited resources, so we wanted to get started on the discovery process.” Volunteers working with the CIC and the chamber will interview business owners identified by the business retention committee, Hajost said, in hopes of understanding what issues should be addressed in a retention program for Upper Arlington. “We’ve got volunteers who are willing to go to our list of businesses to learn what makes them happy and what are their complaints,” CIC board member Robin Lorms said. “We’re going to start the interview process on a voluntary basis to see if we can hear some of what isn’t being said, and get a sense of the comfort level of the business owners.”

businesses in Upper Arlington. Business retention plans at the individual community level are a part of the larger Columbus 2020 regional initiative. Information provided during this survey will be reported to Columbus 2020. Matt Shad, Upper Arlington economic development director, distributed the latest Columbus 2020 regional report based on current survey responses from 276 businesses and stakeholders throughout the region. “This document provides us with both a view of the work in progress as well as year-to-date totals that are measurements for our region,” Shad said. “As Jobs Ohio progresses, I believe it is clear that regionalism is going to be key to how resources are distributed. As we build this region, we not only have the opportunity to attract business to our small slice but we also have the ability to be the best neighborhood for those people to want to live in.” CIC members also discussed the Lane Avenue study being conducted by AECOM. A workshop meeting was to be held June 21, just after ThisWeek’s press deadline, followed by a results presentation at 6:30 p.m.Thursday, June 23 at the Municipal Services Center, 3600 Tremont Road.

Vendors offer variety at market By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The weather has kept vendors away from the Upper Arlington Farmers Market this spring, but others are thriving. For example, Columbus-based Pasta Ditoni’s was doing good business June 15 after pulling in late, with people sampling fettucini from small cups and swearing by their six-cheese ravioli. “The response has been just ridiculous,” said Alan Goodman of Dublin, after selling another Ziploc bag full of fresh pasta. “The wild mushroom ravioli is the most popular.” Probably the most-sampled items were the Gretna Grillin’ handmade cow’s milk cheeses from Blue Jacket Dairy in Bellefontaine. Susan Crusey of Indian Lake melted a cube of the

mild cheese on a griddle and handed it to people on a toothpick. “The weather this year has hurt,” Crusey said. “I know last year it was packed. It’s just going to be a slower week. There’s two (vendors) that I know of that aren’t here today.” People were also checking out Upper Arlington resident Valerie Long’s custom-made jewelry, which she also sells at Jeffrey Thomas Clothiers at Kingsdale. “The weather’s been so bad that the produce isn’t here, but once the produce comes and people know that it’s here, people will figure it out,” Long said. A teacher in the Columbus schools, Long said she likes the market’s new location at the UA Senior Center, 1945 Ridgeview Road, because it’s closer to her home. Other vendors said they

like the more central location and more parking than the old Arlington Avenue location, where road construction is going on this year. Some vendors said things are a bit slow this year, perhaps based on the new location and on account of the weather. Nate Roderick of Sunny Meadows Flower Farm in Columbus said rain and 98-degree weather haven’t helped him sell his bouquets, cut flowers, lettuce, herbs, potted plants, and soaps and salves. “The location’s fine in terms of what we need, but we’re hoping a little more traffic will come through,” Roderick said.

Continued from page A1 “Our costs are rising and our revenues are flat,” he said. “I want a candidate who has had to deal with a budget that was out of balance, make cuts and move forward. It’s real easy to be a captain in calm waters. It’s harder when the waters get rough.” David DeCapua also cited the ability to make tough decisions in dicey economic conditions. “I wanted someone who recognizes we have to make huge changes from the way we’ve traditionally done things,” he said. “Our finances are so tight, we need someone who’s willing to take a fresh perspective, challenge assumptions and, quite frankly, ruffle some feathers.” Debbie Johnson said economic development experience is particularly important in light of state budget cuts. “We have a lot of issues that Upper Arlington will be facing, especially with the state budget,” Johnson said. “We need economic development experience and someone who’s a good communicator.” Council members said they are pleased, overall, with the pool of candidates. “The fact that we had 46 candidates apply tells you how excited a lot of these people are about the opportunity to work in Upper Arlington,” Erik Yassenoff said. “We have narrowed it down to three finalists and we hope to present the three finalists to the community in the near future.” Ciotola said council has not yet decided on a definite date when they will select the final candidate.

social studies and coached several sports at Strongsville High School. He went on to earn a master’s degree at Kent State University, and his first position as a principal was at a junior high school in Fremont. Greenhill then served as Bexley High School’s principal for nine years, and has been with UAHS for the last 16. “I’ve really had the chance to build a high school here. There are only eight teachers on the staff I haven’t hired,” he said. Greenhill said he’s particularly enjoyed cultivating a unique school climate. “When you come here, it’s clearly different. It’s a college campus experience,” he said. Of the 2011 graduating class, 84 percent took college-level courses through either the Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate programs. Greenhill said he also tries to offer UAHS students more freedom because he feels it better prepares them for college. He credits much of the school’s unique environment to the faculty. “It hasn’t been me — it’s what the faculty has done. I’ve tried to create an environment where people can bring forward ideas, where innovation is encouraged and failure is accepted.” In addition to increased participation in AP and IB classes, Greenhill said he’s also particularly proud of the senior capstone graduation requirement, as well as “record highs” in student scores on the ACT. During his last year at UAHS, Greenhill hopes to improve school performance on the Ohio Graduation Test. “I’m very disappointed in our Ohio Graduation Test results,” he said. “I have to take responsibility for it because I allowed us to lose our focus. We need to refocus on some of the basics. That’s not the faculty. That’s me. I allowed us to get sidetracked.” According to data from the Ohio Department of Education,

90.5 percent of UAHS sophomores passed all five sections of the OGT in March 2011, up from 89.8 percent in 2010. “We improved, but not as much as other schools improved,” he said. In retirement, Greenhill plans to get involved politically in the community. He said he takes the responsibility to make the future better for young people “pretty seriously. “I’ve been blessed to be a part of two of the best school districts in the state of Ohio, Bexley and Upper Arlington,” Greenhill said. “That’s one reason I’ve been able to do this as long as I have. For me, it’s been a dream job.” khetrick@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Continued from page A1 “These meetings are for anyone interested in what’s happening on Lane Avenue and we are encouraging any interested parties to participate,” Shad said. According to Shad, the meetings will clarify with the community which “semi-vetted” viable options are preferred and will include land use, traffic patterns and parking. Following the results presentation, AECOM will develop a final plan to be presented to the city in July. Discussion moved to the sale of bonds for the 5-acre land purchase at Kingsdale. City manager Virginia Barney said that the bond sale is moving forward, that the city is in discussions with the

Physicians Group about relocating to Kingsdale and that the Raymond James offices are being completed. “(Upper Arlington’s) AAA bond rating was reaffirmed by Moody’s, and our notes have received the highest rating. Raymond James should be a multimillion dollar payroll,” Shad said, “without any incentivizing by the city.” Barney also reported that a deal for a new freestanding restaurant, to be built in the vacant lot on the Tremont Road side of Kingsdale, would be announced soon. The next CIC meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m., July 21, in the lower level conference room at the MSC.

Continued from page A1 berries for the last time this season “due to the weather we had this past year and last year with the drought, the hot weather.” Folck said they started planting in April. She was also selling red raspberries, sugar snap and shelling peas, and jam and honey. “The season’s not cooperating too well, so everyone’s late in planting,” said UA market maven Missy Donovan. “Some of our vendors that are here every week stayed at home to get things out of the greenhouse and into the fields. We’re in between when the plants are done and the when the veggies are going to come.” Donovan said the UA market has a good balance of vendors. “One absolute requirement is

that everything has to be Ohiogrown and Ohio-made, and I think we’re one of the few markets that do that,” Donovan said. Among those are Sugar Inc., a bakery and tea salon in the process of opening up in the Polaris area. Intern Cathi Castro explained that owner Ava Misseldine blends her own teas and uses her family’s recipes for confections like cupcakes, cookies and cakes. Nitsan Israel, owner of Green Seed Farm in Westerville, was selling lettuce and brown eggs between last week’s raindrops. “I like small markets,” Israel said. “I like to know and talk to my customers. This is more personal.” The market is open Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30 p.m. through Oct. 12 at the Senior Center.

Commentary and opinion

Darryl Will M.A. Audiologist

Yassenoff has shown he listens to residents To the editor: We have known Erik Yassenoff since he was a freshman in high school. He is the same now as he was then in that he has an obvious passion for government and the way that it is run. We are pleased that he is seeking re-election to city council. His voting stance for his first term is a matter of public record and those votes reflect a deep concern for what’s best for Upper Arlington. Consistently displaying a willingness to gather and analyze all information before drawing conclusions, Erik has shown skill in accommodating the desires and needs of both businesses and private citizens. On all issues he can be counted on to vote in a manner that reflects depth of thought as well as a thorough search of facts which bear on those issues. This is surely the very heart of what we voters seek in our council members. Erik has always been accessible and eager to listen. This coupled with his high ideals for truth make him worthy of our vote for re-election. We urge our community to elect him to a second term in office. Joe and Susan Caruso Upper Arlington

Candidate deserves to win second term To the editor: We strongly encourage community voters to support Erik Yassenoff for re-election to Upper Arlington City Council in November. He is a respected member of the Upper Arlington community, providing community service and leadership as a current member of city council. He listens to residents about our concerns and searches for as many factors as are available for determining the best route for action. He conducts intensive research

about issues and develops strong beliefs, yet actively works to find common ground with others in moving toward solutions. During the past four years, Erik has shown capability for deliberating and taking action on issues that are in the best interests of Upper Arlington. Maintaining an eye on the future, he passionately continues to seek a strong economic development that is balanced with the residential interests of the community. Erik continues to bring fresh energy and in-depth knowledge to the council’s charge for governing our city. We urge you to support Erik Yassenoff for his reelection to the Upper Arlington City Council. Nancy and David Evans Upper Arlington

Yassenoff favors beneficial issues

Arlington City Council. I have had the privilege of serving with Erik on various service committees over the past four years. Erik has served as president of the Northwest Kiwanis Club and under his leadership the scholarship program saw an increase in scholarships to assist high school students with college; the youth soccer program had an increase in participation; and most recently Northwest Kiwanis played an important integral role in the funding of the Amelita Mirolo Barn at the Sunny 95 Park. In addition to these responsibilities, Erik completed his master’s degree from Ohio State University during this time. Next year he will be serving on the Upper Arlington Historical Society and will be chairing the Wall of Honor committee for the upcoming year. I endorse Erik Yassenoff as he has always voted on issues to better Upper Arlington and encourage you to elect him again for UA City Council.

Attempting to avoid any future confusion about the wording in zoning laws, city leaders are proposing changes to an ordinance that will prohibit daycare centers in a commercial district. Jeanine Hummer, Upper Arlington city attorney, strongly encouraged members of the UA Board of Zoning and Planning to approve changes to Article 5 of the city’s Unified Development Ordinance at BZAP’s June 20 meeting. The proposal, which was initiated by the city attorney’s office, is a result of a federal lawsuit by the Tree of Life school, which is attempting to use a property at 5000 Arlington Centre Boulevard for a K-12 school. Representatives of the school have argued that because daycare centers are a permitted use in the Office and Research Dis-

conditions. The school filed a lawsuit against the city earlier this year after its request to move into the Arlington Centre building, which formerly housed America Online and Time Warner, was rejected based on zoning codes. In a report, city staff stated that the purpose of encouraging commercial use in the ORC District will be better protected by modifying the code text and prohibiting daycare centers. “We see it as an enhancement to the zoning code that was intended as a commercial district,” Hummer said. “We trying to make sure the code is clear with prohibited uses in place.” Board member Ida Copenhaver Ginter expressed reservations about approving the recommendation, noting that there are some businesses that place daycare centers on the premises for their employees’ children.

changes in the future. The board voted to recommend the changes, which will now be considered by city council as legislation. In other matters, the board: Approved a comprehensive graphics request by Valvoline Instant Oil Change at 3600 Riverside Drive. The company hopes the graphics will update the site’s current style and provide the building with more character. Approved a request by residents Michael and Theresa Haemmerle of Welsford Road to construct a new front entry porch that will project five feet into the platted front yard and will be 11 feet wide. Granted Kevin and Nora Fisher permission for the construction of a new front entry porch that will project almost 6 inches in a platted front yard at their Lytham Court home.

crease in their tax bill. It’s not a dollar-fordollar decrease,” Mingo said, “but there will be some measure of deClarence crease. Mingo “The answer to the second question is to attend one of our informal reviews in the fall. We’ll be scheduling appointments with homeowners to come in and discuss values. If you plan to attend an informal review, we always ask a homeowner to bring either a recent appraisal, or any sales information they might have about their subdivision.” In August, all property owners in the county will receive letters from Mingo informing them of the new value of their home or business. According to the auditor’s office, there are about 438,000 parcels of property in Franklin County, with a total value of about $100 billion in 2010. “We do two types of reappraisals,” Mingo said. “Every three years, we do a brief survey of values, and we adjust them as necessary. Every six years, and this is the reappraisal we’re undertaking now, we do a comprehen-

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Franklin County Auditor Clarence Mingo will host three town hall meetings in the next couple of weeks to talk about the 2011 reappraisal and its impact on taxpayers. The meetings take place at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 28, in the Westerville Public Library; 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 30, in the Upper Arlington Library; and 6:30 p.m. July 6 in the Columbus Metropolitan Library. At the meetings, Mingo will talk about the reappraisal process for 15-20 minutes. “The town hall meeting will do two things: One, it will be telling homeowners what the reappraisal means for them; and two, we’ll be telling them how to they’ll be able to engage us after their value is received,” Mingo said. Afterwards, there will be a question-and-answer session. “The most common question is two-fold,” he said. “’How will my tax bill be affected,’and ‘What information do I need to bring if I’m concerned about the value?’” “The answer to the first question is, if the value of your home decreases, the average homeowner could likely expect a marginal de-

sive review of values and we literally appraise every single property in the county.” Spokesman Dave O’Neil said a staff of about 20 takes two years to do the reappraisals, which are required under Ohio law. The last reappraisal was for 2005. Taxes based on the new values will be payable in 2012. Mingo said property owners are welcome to challenge the value of their property starting in the fall. “Values have changed a lot in the last six years,” Mingo said. “There’s a greater interest in challenging.” Mingo said he thinks property values “will trend downward,” which means less revenue for local government and school districts.

The Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic will return for its 19th year Sunday with its mix of speed and strategy. “Cycling at this level is like a chess match at 35 mph,” race promoter Andy Burns said. “You have to constantly evaluate what kind of move you should make and when — all while going at top speed. “I tell people, imagine holding your breath for three minutes and doing your multiplication tables in your head,” he said. “It’s like that.” The Grandview course is particularly challenging for cyclists because of its hills, Burns said. “That’s what makes our course so iconic,” he said. “It’s so much

more challenging than your typical flat criterium course.” The turn at Goodale Boulevard and Urlin Avenue is a particularly exciting part of the course, because it comes at the bottom of the steep hill, Burns said. “And these guys don’t slow up, they go full bore around that turn,” he said. The cyclists will make the turn three abreast, Burns said. “There’s no way you can do that without coming in contact with the other riders,” he said. “It’s an amazing thing. It can be really risky, but they do it.” The city has made some minor improvements to that area of the roadway this week which will help the cyclists, Burns said. Defending Tour de Grandview Criterium champion Andy Crater will return this year, but he will

be racing for a different team, Burns said. This year, Crater is a member of the Aerocat Cycling Team. He will be competing against former teammate Dan Campbell of the Panther team. Last year, Crater just edged out Campbell for the championship. The criterium cycling schedule will get under way with a juniors race at 11:45 a.m. Sunday. Other races will include the Mens Category 4 at 12:20 p.m.; the Womens Open and 3/4 at 1:10 p.m.; celebrity races at 2 p.m.; Mens Pro 1-2 at 2:30 p.m.; Kid Sprints at 4:15 p.m.; Mens Category 3 at 4:30 p.m.; and Mens Category 5 at 5:30 p.m. The Grandview street party held usually on Saturday night will be held on race day this year on First Avenue.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen TWO OUT OF THREE A new study shows that 63 percent of those aged 70 years and older have hearing loss that ranges from mild to severe. Perhaps even more telling is the fact that only one fifth of senior Americans with hearing loss use a hearing instrument. When it comes to a breakdown of the numbers, older males are more likely to have a hearing loss (or a more severe hearing loss) than younger females. Moreover, Caucasians were more likely to have hearing losses than African-Americans (64% versus 43%). While the reason for this is not clear, it is thought that pigment produced by the skin and cells in the inner ear may protect the inner ear from free radicals. Hearing problems that are ignored or untreated can get worse. If you have a hearing problem, see your doctor. Hearing aids, special training, medicines and surgery are options.

Baseball

Team Columbus trying new approach By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Rather than compete in American Legion baseball this summer, a handful of former Legion teams decided to pool their talent and compete as an Under18 travel team called Team Columbus. The team is comprised of 13 players from four high schools: Upper Arlington (6), Thomas Worthington (4), Watterson (2) and Worthington Kilbourne (1). “The (high school) coaches got to-

gether and said they wanted to try something different,” said coach Todd Pfeil, who coached UA’s former Legion team, Northwest Post 443, the past seven years. “That’s all I can say is that we all came to a decision that we wanted to go a new direction and see how it works out.” “There are multiple reasons for choosing not to play Legion this year,” UA coach Matt Middleton said. “It has become a form of high school-only ball and the play was so inconsistent. We would beat up on somebody one day and then get beaten up the next day. The

level of play was so drastically inconsistent that in this sport you can get bored with it rather quickly.” Middleton said he spoke with Watterson coach Scott Manahan and Thomas coach Stephen Gussler and that the three of them had the same feeling about the direction of Legion baseball and how they could improve their varsity teams. “We want our younger guys playing against great competition every day,” Middleton said. “This year, we had allowed some of our guys to play for select teams before we made this decision.

But I think if we continue this, we’ll go to tournaments and be able to compete with the Columbus Sharks and Columbus Cobras and select teams like that. “Our schedule is such that we’re playing select teams, we’re playing the true Legion teams. That’s what we want.” Middleton said those types of teams are what Legion baseball used to represent. “Those Legion teams that still draw from several high schools dominate at state,” he said. “In Columbus, it’s been about keeping the younger guys together

from the same high school. In Upper Arlington, we kept the freshmen together and just played U-15 travel ball. But the older they get, you want them competing and being successful playing with and against strong competition. “It’s all about how much improvement you can make in the offseason. Truthfully, the high school season is so short, and when you have two straight weeks of rainouts, you really accomplish very little. You really need to make See BASEBALL, page B3

Lacrosse

Players receive national honors By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Eight area high school lacrosse teams placed seniors on the AllAmerican and Academic AllAmerican 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 AllAmerican. 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 All-American. “Paul Caldwell (the former Coffman coach who runs the NorthStar summer league) called me and said, ‘I don’t want to put

Youth Soccer

Area teams set for regional event 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 last six years. The Blast F.C. Under-15 boys team won a Regional Cup in 2009, and the Crew Juniors U19 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 forgotten, but we were three minutes away from being See LACROSSE, page B3 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 wildcards

and Midwest Regional League qualifiers in the U-13-U-19 age groups compete. All age groups have been divided into three- or four-team brackets, and every team will play a game within its bracket June 25-27. The bracket winners will move on to semifinals June 28, with regional finals played June 29. Regional champions in the U14 through U-19 groups 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 U-13 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 factor because teams aren’t seeded at regional and there have been a lot of years where the top two or three teams in the regional end up in the same bracket of pool play, and some of the better teams get eliminat-

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 U-16 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

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.”

Eagles U-18 girls team emphasizing defense By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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.

Cap City Senior Bowl

East all-stars hold on for victory over West By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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 central Ohio’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 all-stars’ 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 system 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, did-

n’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 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. 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 220. “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.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Rounding out the roster are seniors Austin Green (OF) and Joe Traini (OF/C) of Watterson, which finished 16-8, and junior Tom Scantland (C/1B) of Kilbourne, which finished 14-12. All of the pitchers are righthanded. “We’ve got six or seven pitchers and we’ll run them all out there and let them get some work,” Pfeil said. “We’ve got confidence they can do the job and can improve along the way. They’ve all been receptive to coaching, which is a great thing. In fact, I can say that about the entire team. “I think that’s why the strength of this team is its overall approach. Everybody is improving and we are paying attention to details and fundamentals of every part of the game.”

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

Your best scorers can sometimes be a little off, but a good defensive team will always come through for you.

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.

In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the Ohio Premier Eagles are third ahead of Carmel United S.C.

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-

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.

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.

In brief Auditor plans meetings on reappraisal process

praisal. The 2011 reappraisal represents that six-year period. The Franklin County auditor last reappraised all real property for tax year 2005. As a result of market conditions, the majority of residential properties received no value changes for the 2008 update year. The taxes based on the new values will be payable in 2012. Each property owner in the county will receive a letter from Mingo in August informing them of the new tentative value of their home or business property. For more information, visit www.franklincountyauditor.com or call (614) 525-HOME (4663).

Franklin County auditor Clarence Mingo will host three town-hall meetings to discuss the 2011 reappraisal and its impact on taxpayers in the coming weeks at library locations throughout the county. These meetings will be held: • Tuesday, June 28, at the Westerville Public Library • Thursday, June 30, at the Upper Arlington Public Library • Wednesday, July 6 at the Columbus Metropolitan Library Each town-hall meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a question-and-answer session to follow.

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 websites. Be careful in stores to protect your wallet, purse and credit cards GABRIELLE and watch to sure store WHITTAKER be personnel handle your credit 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 creditcard statement or on your checking account; unauthorized transfers or withdrawals on your bank statements; accounts on your cred-
