Staton looks ahead to future in UA By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When Virginia Barney leaves her position as Upper Arlington city manager in October after 11 years, the post will be taken by Ted Staton, currently city manager of East Lansing, Mich., and formerly a longtime Ohioan. Upper Arlington ThisWeek interviewed Staton by phone July 25 to hear his observations on the city and his expectations of his new job. ThisWeek: How are your prepara-
tions for moving your family to Upper Arlington going? Staton: It’s been a little challenging figuring out the logistics of our move, getting the kids enrolled in Ted Staton school and finding a place to live while still fulfilling my obligations (in East Lansing). But my plan is to begin here on Oct. 10, and we’ve found a house here that will nicely meet our needs, and we’re
hoping we can formalize that arrangement. TW: Several local officials cited the similarities between Upper Arlington and East Lansing when discussing your credentials. Do you see the two cities as being comparable? Staton: The proximity to a large, Big Ten university is one similarity, and another is the fact that both communities lay in the shadow of the state capital. With that, you get the impact of state government felt more prominently in your community, and I also think offi-
cials of jurisdictions near the statehouse end up being called on to testify in issues of municipal interest. I did a good bit of that in Michigan, and would be willing to play that role here as well. TW: You’re coming to the city at a time when changes are occurring at Kingsdale and on Lane Avenue. Staton: I want to be sure to acknowledge that I’m still studying the details, but what I see on Lane and Kingsdale is an impressive repositioning of those areas for future use. I read
with great interest some of the stories on the traffic calming plans for (the Lane Avenue neighborhoods), and that work is similar to what we’ve done in East Lansing to make streets safer for pedestrians. That’s an issue (in East Lansing) as well. I think any time you have a mature community, the redevelopment of older commercial properties becomes a sensitive issue to the neighbors that surround the property, and we have to adSee FUTURE, page A2

City offers options to beat the heat By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
While the temperatures slipped down into the high 80s early this week, the recent heat wave — likely to rev up again later this week — was the hottest in years for Upper Arlington and the rest of central Ohio, according to the National Weather Service. The NWS issued several heat advisories and excessive heat warnings in the past couple of weeks, with temperatures approaching the 100 degree mark. Despite oppressively high temperatures, residents of Upper Arlington have several options for beating the heat. To aid residents who may not have air conditioning or other options, the Upper Arlington Division of Fire has been acting as a drop-off point for donated box fans, according to public information officer Dan Kochensparger. “All of the fire stations in the county are drop-off points for donated fans, and those normally are going to LifeCare Alliance,” he said. “We’ve had several drop-offs since June, in response to that first campaign of
sponded to nine heat-related incidents — two “regular” EMS runs that came in through the city’s 911 system, and seven others related to the Nationwide Children’s Invitational golf tournament that took place at the Ohio State University Golf Course. All of those requests were cases of heat exhaustion or heat cramps, and were treated by fire personnel stationed on standby at the tournament, he said. While the UAFD has responded to several calls for mutual aid in the past few weeks, there have been no structure fires in Upper Arlington to deal with, he said. “With the heat the way it is, you’ll see us hydrating a lot more ahead of time and after, and when there is a fire, that’s a lot more taxing physically,” he said. “What you’ll really see is that something that might typically be a one-alarm fire might turn into a two-alarm, just beBella Lewis, 6, pours water on her head to keep cool during a cause the weather is really rebreak at the Reed Road Water Park July 22. quiring us to rotate our crews the summer.” older adults or chronically ill more often. “Unfortunately, the same gear Kochensparger said about 45 residents in Franklin and Madithat protects us from the heat fans have been collected at Sta- son counties. tion 72 to be distributed by LifeSince July 19, KochenspargCare, a nonprofit that serves er said, the fire division has reSee HEAT, page A3
Buckeye Tailgate to benefit Project Lifesaver By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Organizers of Upper Arlington’s Project Lifesaver are asking for some more community help to keep the program up and running. For the second year in a row, Arlington Court Nursing Home will host a Project Lifesaver fundraiser on its grounds. The Buckeye Tailgate is scheduled for the early evening of Aug. 5, said Upper Arlington Senior Center administrator Sally Gard.
You have a hole in your house.
“The Project Lifesaver program has been around for about three years, and we host a fundraiser each year to bring in more money for the supplies we need, which are given out for free,” Gard said. Project Lifesaver is a service offered to Upper Arlington residents who are at risk of wandering away from their homes and becoming lost or disoriented. “This can be anything having to do with older dementia patients, or children with autism — anyone with a tendency to wander is given a wristwatch with a radio fre-
quency signal,” Gard said. “If they become lost or their caregivers don’t know where they are, the police department can use the signal to find that person in under 20 minutes. “The program saves a lot of money in terms of emergencies,” she said. “This is one of the two times of the year that it’s even more important, when it’s extremely hot or extremely cold out — the people who have the wristbands might not be dressed

Local company drills with sound By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
An area technology firm has developed a manufacturing tool that gives new meaning to the term “whistle while you work.” Technology and engineering services provider EWI recently unveiled a new system that uses sound waves to lubricate fast-moving parts used in manufacturing and industrial work, such as metal-cutting drill bits. While the idea has been on the drawing board for at least a year, the company demonstrated the process on a national scale last month at a summit in Lynchburg,Va., said company CEO Henry Cialone. “This is one of the projects we’re really excited about,” Cialone said. “We have been doing a lot of work over the years using ultrasound in the welding process, but we came to a point where we couldn’t go any further unless we changed the way ultrasound is applied to metal. “We started off with drilling because that was the easiest point in the manufacturing process. The ultrasound only needs to go up and down the shaft of a straight bit.”
While drilling through industrial-strength metals is typically a lengthy process that requires regular lubrication and replacing drill bits, using sound energy to lubricate the moving parts cuts down on both time and wear, Cialone said. EWI has been in talks with French company Areva to use the new process in work on nuclear reactors, Cialone said. Cutting down the time it takes to finish a job increases safety as well as productivity in that field, he said. “They were very interested in the fact that if you’re doing a repair on a reactor, a lot of times those workers are in a hot area, and with the traditional drilling system, that fluid you’re using to lubricate the bit becomes radioactive and needs to be disposed of,” he said. “These are very big holes they drill in order to extract a sensor, and that turns a job that takes a couple of hours into minutes. You can put a man in the hot zone for a much shorter period of time that way.” Located just east of Upper Arlington’s city limits on Arthur E. Adams Drive, Cialone said many of the company’s employees call Upper Arlington home. “We have several folks who walk to work,”
properly to deal with this kind of weather.” Gard said that while the wristbands last for a long time, Upper Arlington Commission on Aging members regularly make home visits to those who use the service, replacing batteries and generally checking in with the families to see how things are going. “This provides a nice relationship with the community and the police department, and then they can find out if the family needs help with anything else,” Gard said. “That’s a very important part of the project.” Several community groups, including Northwest Kiwanis, the Upper Arlington Community Foundation, the Hazelbaker Foundation, the Senior Advisory Council, Upper Arlington Rotary, Tri-Village Sertoma Club and Abbington of Arlington man-

he said. “It’s kind of a well-kept secret in your own back yard.” Along with the Arthur E. Adams Drive headquarters, the company operates a number of centers throughout the country, employing about 2,800 engineers, scientists, technicians, industry experts and project managers. The company’s works with manufacturers in the aerospace, automobile, defense, energy, chemical, government, heavy manufacturing and electronic industries. Advancing the technology into future applications will first require coming up with the proper presentation to the public, Cialone said. “The terminology of sonic machining is an old term, for a very different process,” he said. “We need to come up with something that doesn’t conjure up old ideas. “We have a branding challenge right now, but we’re going to knock that one down as well,” he said. “I would say that in terms of what we’re doing, there probably isn’t anything else like this out there.” More information on the new process can be found on the company’s website, www.ewi.org.

dress that. TW: How would you describe your leadership style? Staton: I think there are two words that come to mind. One would be collaboration, whether it’s between management and labor, whether it’s city hall and the neighborhoods, or elected and appointed officials. I strive to make sure the elected officials know and appreciate the value of the work that our public servants do. I think the second would be a premium on communication. The moniker in real estate is “location, location, location;” in local government, it’s “communication, communication, communication.” I strive very hard so that the organization in which I work understands the direction of the local officials and our community. TW: You had a chance to introduce yourself to the community at last week’s Summer Celebration. What are some of your interests when you’re not at the office? Staton: Well, I’ve spent a fair
amount of time coaching youth sports, basketball and baseball, mostly for my kids’ teams. They’re at a point now where they need coaching at a little higher skill level, so I’ve turned that over. I like to cook, play a little golf, and bicycle. Our boys, they’re entering eighth and sixth grade soon, so there’s a little apprehension for them about making new friends in a new place, but they’re excited to see more of their cousins. Even though we’ve been in Michigan, they have a fair amount of scarlet and gray in their closets, so maybe they can wear more of that here without catching as much grief. TW: What will the time between now and Oct. 10 include for you? Staton: There’s still some informal meetings I’d like to have with community members, and as we get closer to the transition date, I’ll file an outline of my plans for the city council and listen carefully to what they would like to see accomplished in my first three to six months.

CIC approves incentive DISPUTE for Transmap Corp.
RESTAURANT
Continued from page A1
Upper Arlington’s Community Improvement Corp. (CIC) approved an economic incentive agreement to help the Transmap Corp. in its efforts to relocate into the city. The CIC unanimously approved offering the company a $10,000 forgivable large business loan/grant from the economic development fund during its July 21 meeting. The company, which uses GPS and navigation technology to provide municipalities with pinpoint inventories of their roads and utilities, should be moved into space at 3366 Riverside Drive by
Aug. 31, according to chief financial officer John Byrnes. To help in their relocation, Upper Arlington City Council green-lighted city staff’s recommendation earlier this month to develop an economic development incentive agreement for the company. Transmap has about a dozen full-time employees, Byrnes said, and plans to expand in the coming years after moving to Upper Arlington. The company expects to add five to eight fulltime employees in the next two or three years. — Lin Rice
HEAT Continued from page A1 inside a house works against us in weather like this.” City recreation superintendent James Gant said that while the recreation department doesn’t have any specific programs for residents to deal with the heat, all three city pools are open seven days a week. “We’ve continued on as normal,” he said. “With our day camps, we’ve been giving out a lot more popsicles and water balloons, and we’re trying to stick with the calmer activities, not the heavy-duty outdoor activities. “We’ve been seeing pretty heavy usage of the pools,” Gant said, “and there are a lot of opportunities in Upper Arlington
for swimming.” Kochensparger said residents who may be worried about an older adult friend or relative during the heat wave can relax if they’re involved in the Kind Call program. “We have some very computer-savvy members of our division who developed the Kind Call program years ago,” he said. “Essentially, a computer automatically makes a phone call to the resident at a certain time each day, and if it makes contact, we know they’re OK.” If the resident doesn’t answer the call, the Kind Call computer calls a pre-established contact (a “key holder”), who can then check in on the resident. If the key holder does not respond, police and
paramedics are dispatched to the resident’s home. “Most of the time it ends up being that someone forgot to call, but every once in awhile, someone can’t reach the phones because they fell, or were having some difficulties,” Kochensparger said. “That’s where the value of the program really comes in.” Residents interested in participating in the Kind Call program can do so by contacting the city at 614-583-5326. lrice@thisweeknews.com
sympathy for Reitz’s predicament, he expressed the opinion that since the renovation of the Lane Avenue market has just begun, approving Reitz’s request would be premature. “I can’t tell you when will be an appropriate time (for a decision) but we don’t know what Whole Foods is going to put there,” Riley said. When Riley also questioned whether the requested eight feet would be satisfactory, Reitz said he was simply trying to come up with a height that would seem reasonable to the board. Board members also expressed concern that other neighbors would try to exceed the maximum requirement if they granted Reitz’s request. Both Reitz and the board agreed to revisit the issue again next spring when they have a fuller understanding of Whole Foods’ plans. www.ThisWeekNews.com

HUFFMAN’S MARKET Presents:

Summer Celebration Sale!
GOOD REASON NOT TO TAKE ASPIRIN Those afflicted with the phantom noise in their ears that no one else can hear (“tinnitus”) should know that this problem can be linked to aspirin consumption. Aspirin’s potential effect upon hearing was originally noted when the drug was first synthesized over a century ago. A warning of this potential effect may even have been on the aspirin bottle label. In any case, it is thought that salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin, can damage the cochlea in the inner ear. This potential side effect is more likely to occur at the higher daily doses taken for the treatment of chronic pain. However, occasional aspirin users have also reported tinnitus. The problem may cease when aspirin usage stops. The most common type of tinnitus is subjective tinnitus. Subjective tinnitus includes sounds only you can hear. AT ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS we strongly encourage anyone who is concerned about their hearing to have a comprehensive hearing exam. To schedule an appointment, please call 614-654-4309. We offer both standard and premium digital hearing aids for much less than the competition, plus we offer the best and most detailed hearing tests using problem solving equipment the others don’t have. Our office is located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

Leadership UA currently enrolling Class of 2012 By LIN RICE
tions, but more on the idea of a month from September through
ThisWeek Community Newspapers leadership and service learning April. Class members also attend
Leadership UA is accepting applications to fill out its 201112 class. About to start its 15th year, the program introduces community members to their local government, school district, and other important elements of the Upper Arlington community, said director Mary Ellen Hatch. Classes start this year on Sept. 15. “As with any community leadership program, we combine a number of things, including leadership tools and classes, wrapped up in a retreat and evening classes,” Hatch said. “The other component is to educate everyone in the class on their community, and what part they can play in it.” Hatch said Leadership UA, a nonprofit organization, offers two courses — one program for adults and a youth program available to high school freshmen. “The younger class focuses not so much on how the community of Upper Arlington func-
in general,” she said. “The teens take Saturday trips to places like the Boys and Girls Club, and learn how easy it is as an individual or group to give back to their community, along with things like project planning, the difference between being assertive and aggressive in communicating, and how to give a presentation.” Hatch said that part of that project planning involves the teens running their own fundraisers to benefit various nonprofit groups. “This year’s class did two fundraisers, raising over $2,000 for the Red Cross for tsunami relief, and they did a collection of children’s books for Nationwide Children’s Hospital, along with coming up with about seven loads of sports equipment for the Boys and Girls Club of Columbus,” Hatch said. The youth leadership program runs January through April. The adult program consists of evening classes that meet twice
an overnight retreat at Camp Akita in Hocking Hills. Hatch said Leadership UA also puts on several community events throughout the year in an effort to encourage open community dialogue, such as a Meet the Candidates night, Green Day UA, a leadership panel, and Conversation Arlington. This year’s candidates’ night has been scheduled for 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 20 at the Municipal Services Center, 3600 Tremont Road. Hatch said the event will be an opportunity for residents to meet candidates for both the city council and school board, and to ask them questions about their campaigns. Tuition for the eight-month adult program is $800, and the cost for the youth leadership program is $250, with tuition assistance and scholarships available for both groups.

Firefighters perform rooftop rescue Upper Arlington firefighters were called upon to conduct a rooftop rescue last week. Fire crews were contacted at 4 p.m. July 21 about an emergency in which a worker had been injured while working with a saw, according to public information officer Dan Kochensparger. “He was working with one other guy,” Kochensparger said. “We believe they were working on the building’s chimney.” Fire crews found the man on the roof of a private residence at 4168 Greensview Drive. The man’s coworker had already performed basic first aid to his arm, Kochensparger said. Fire crews used their ladders to reach the roof and medics continued first aid before bringing the man to the ground with a rescue basket and ropes. “It was a bit of an unusual one, and the weather didn’t help,” Kochensparger said. “They had to make sure they treated any possible dehydration, and if our guys had been up there for any period

to Riverside Medical Center. No injuries or complications occurred with the fire crews, Kochensparger said. — Lin Rice

Rocheleau resigns after three seasons By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Kim Rocheleau’s intensity during games is one of the things senior attacker Lauren Drake will miss about the former Upper Arlington High School girls lacrosse coach. Rocheleau announced July 19 that she was resigning as coach after three seasons. “She really got into games,” said Drake, who will serve as a team captain next spring. “She’d see everything out
on the field, and she’d be telling us what we had to do. “It’ll be different (next spring), but hopefully we’ll find someone just as dedicated and motivated to make our program flourish like it has in the past.” During Rocheleau’s tenure, the Golden Bears compiled a 49-13-1 record, won two OCC championships and reached the Division I state championship game each season. Last spring, UA finished 16-5 overall, losing to Medina 14-13 in overtime in the state final. Rocheleau said she recently received
a promotion at work and the increased hours at work made it too difficult to continue to dedicate the time she needed to the team. “It was absolutely a tough decision,” she said. “Obviously, coaching is something I’m pretty passionate about. At the same time, in order to advance in my career, I had to make that choice.” Before arriving at UA, Rocheleau was served as women’s lacrosse coach and an assistant field hockey coach at Ohio Wesleyan University from 2003-07. The lacrosse team compiled a 42-17 record
during her four seasons, capturing the NCAC tournament title in 2005 and making the NCAA tournament for the first time. Rocheleau was hired at UA to replace Lynda McCandlish, who guided the Bears to a 20-2 finish and the state championship in her only season. UA finished 16-5 in 2009, losing to Cincinnati Sycamore 7-6 in the state final, and 17-3-1 in 2010, losing to Medina 15-9 in the state final. After losing 13 players from the 2010 team to graduation, Rocheleau said last
season’s run to the state final was gratifying. “Even though we lost in the final in a heartbreaker, this past season was probably the highlight (of her tenure at UA),” she said. “I think I will miss the girls the most. The girls were great and the community and the all the families were very supportive.” To get the best out of players during practice, Drake said Rocheleau would often pit the alumni from Jones and HastSee ROCHELEAU, page B3

Football
Area teams preparing for start of practice By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The wait is nearly over for high school football players and coaches. It started with the sometimes monotonous days of weight-room work, which began for many the moment last season ended. The past few weeks have included activities such as team camps and 7on-7 passing tournaments, with a few glimpses of the playbook thrown in. Beginning Monday, Aug. 1, it finally will start to feel like football again. For Grove City coach Matt Jordan, that first day of official coaching allowed by the OHSAA provides an enjoyable opportunity to see his players bond. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s a chance for relationships between some players and coaches to get a fresh start. “You no longer get any excuses from anybody,” Jordan said, laughing. “Seriously, it’s fun to finally get to put the pads on. You’ve been in the weight
room since December, so it’s fun watching everyone run around in helmets. You know it’s football season, and there’s this wonderful excitement in the air. There’s something about that adrenaline that comes.” According to the OHSAA, the dates teams are allowed to scrimmage this year are Aug. 9-20. Although games can be played as early as Aug. 22, most teams start their season Aug. 26 or 27. Many teams in central Ohio won’t have their first scrimmage until Aug. 12, which means they have 11 days to put plays in motion before their first contact against another team. Putting in drills over the first couple days of practice can be an important exercise in setting the pace for the coming months as well as in preparing for scrimmages. “You try to establish everyday types of drills and try to mix them up,” Jordan said. “We do certain things day one, certain things day two and get a rotation going. You’re always evaluating talent and you definitely want to laterally be going forward to see who
At a glance Below is a look at the Upper Arlington football team entering Monday, Aug. 1’s first day of official coaching: •Coach: Mike Golden, seventh season •2010 record: 6-4 overall, 4-3 (fourth) in OCC-Central •Last playoff appearance: 2008, lost in Division I regional semifinal •Opener: Aug. 26 at Dresden Tri-Valley •Top expected returnees: Frank Epitropoulos (WR/P), Ryan McSheffery (RB), Eddie Miller (LB), Garrett Powers (WR/DB) and Jack Trabue (LB) •Preseason outlook: The Golden Bears return a talented offensive duo in McSheffery and Epitropoulos, an Ohio State recruit.

looks good. “In football, you already have a pretty good idea who your guys are Aug. 1, so you’re also looking at team cohesiveness. Do you have some leaders who are ready to step up? You start initially with your base offense and
base defense in the early days and then do repeat and review to make sure you haven’t moved too fast. When you get to pads, it all changes.” Teams from the City League sometimes have obstacles, particularly early on, because many of the players who come out for football as freshmen are competing in the sport on a team for the first time. For those taking over a program for the first time such as Brookhaven’s Trevor White, that factor as well as figuring out how to install a new system can make for some complicated moments of preparation even before the first day of official coaching. “Especially with a new program, a big thing early on is setting the tone,” White said. “You want to be getting everybody on the same page, and what we’ve been debating is how much of the offense and defense do we put in. Do we just throw it at them or do we take it step by step? “We’ll have some kids that played (youth) football but some who have never played the sport before. You’ve
always got to walk a line of bringing kids along but not holding the veterans back, and especially with a new program, it’s important that you’re really getting to know the team. I’m really excited to learn who my team is.” One of the key aspects of the first days of official coaching, according to Olentangy Liberty coach Steve Hale, is getting players’ technical reactions back on track. “You’re working a lot on technique, stance and starts, quickness and a lot of ball skills,” Hale said. “What responsibilities do I have? There are a lot of drills where we try to put kids in situations where they can learn. I think it’s just a matter of being organized and knowing what schemes we have. “Obviously everybody gets a brand new start. There’s an excitement and an anticipation that you’ll have a great season. That first time on the practice field is like being reborn each year.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Top Individual Performances: No. 3
Avery’s heroics led Newark to state title By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Greg Avery of the Newark High School boys basketball team couldn’t have been more excited for the spotlight of the Division I state championship game March 15, 2008, against Lakewood St. Edward. Even now, though, he cringes at how his game started — with a pair of what he considered bad shots, the first of which resulted in a missed layup. But little else went wrong that night for Avery. The 6-foot-3 senior tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory and their first state championship since 1943 before a crowd of 12,465 at Ohio State’s Value City Arena. “My first two shots were two of the dumbest shots,” Avery said. “I wanted to get rolling, and after that I was just in the zone.” Avery made seven consecutive shots after missing his first attempt, including back-to-back baskets to open the second quarter. He hit a jumper nine seconds into the period to make it 21-14 and made his only 3-point attempt with 6 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the quarter to give the Wildcats a 24-14 lead. After Newark took a 14-point lead midway through the second period, St. Edward rallied to within six before Avery hit a jumper with 7 seconds left in the first half to make it 33-25. “I really noticed (how well he was playing) the next week watching the game and seeing some of the shots he made,” Newark coach Jeff Quackenbush said. “We ran a play for him at the end of the (first) half and he made this fade-away (jumper) from about 17 feet. You know he’s scoring and doing well, but I guess he was just in that zone and we felt re-
Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 4-10. Check back next week for No. 2 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
NOS. 4-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more
ally good about the shots he was taking. “He had a huge steal at the end of the third quarter and just played well the entire game. His whole game, just everything he did, he really competed well that night.” The other starters for the Wildcats — post player Dane Kopp, forward Will McCoy and guards Cody Dennison and Rahlin Watson — each played contributing roles in what became Newark’s fourth state
surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the freethrow line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 23, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. 4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 4-1 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd.
championship. Although McCoy scored just four points, he was one of the primary reasons St. Edward’s Tom Pritchard — an Indiana University recruit — was held to nine points on 3for-7 shooting. The Wildcats never led by fewer than five points in the second half and stretched the lead to as many as 16 in the final period. Watson, who plays for Capital University, scored 10 points. Dennison scored eight and Kopp

Greg Avery (5) of Newark begins to celebrate in the final seconds of the Wildcats’ 65-52 victory over Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game on March 15, 2008. Avery dominated the game, scoring 33 points and adding 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead Newark.
added seven as the Wildcats finished with a 24-4 record. Avery said the standout performance of the team’s defense made it difficult for St. Edward — and Pritchard in particular — to take good shots. Dennison, who played two seasons for Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and will play for Tiffin University this season, remembers talking with Avery when both were in elementary school about one day making it to the state tournament. “He pretty much did everything for us that night,” Dennison said. “We’d had the mindset to be in that situation since we were in fifth grade, and in my junior year and Greg’s senior year, we finally reached that goal. That will to win got us over the hump. “I personally tried to give him the ball all the time, and everybody fed off of him. We were all clicking. Everything he was shooting was going in.” Avery remembers fondly the scene when he and his teammates returned to Newark that night and the celebrations that followed over the coming days. It was a fitting end to a prep career in which Avery scored 1,131 points. He made third-
team all-state and first-team alldistrict his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Avery became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 career points. “I remember driving home and the fans were waiting for us when we got back to our gym,” Avery said. “We had a ceremony and had a day named after us, ‘Newark State Championship Day.’ There was a lot of support from Newark.” Shortly after the state championship, Avery signed to play collegiately for Western Carolina. He averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 30 games, including four starts, during the 2008-09 season. After the season, he decided to transfer to the University of Findlay, a Division II school, because of the coming birth of his daughter. During the 200910 season for the Oilers, Avery averaged 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 27 games, including five starts. Despite having what he deemed a successful transition early on to Findlay’s program, longtime coach Ron Niekamp, who retired earlier this year after 26 seasons, told Avery after the season that he “didn’t really fit the system,” Avery said.
In search of a place to play, Avery was considering Valdosta State, a Division II school in Valdosta, Ga., when on July 26, 2010, he and two other men were accused of assaulting a man in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “They tried to hit me with a felony, but I didn’t do anything,” Avery said. “It set me back two more steps.” Avery now is a student at the Newark branch of Ohio State and working for Dennison’s father, Joe, but is hoping to play competitive basketball again soon. He is considering playing on the Division III or NAIA level, or could join a semi-pro team. Regardless of some of the ups and downs that have occurred for Avery the past three-plus years, he knows the memory of what he helped accomplish with his high school team lives on. “It’s still unbelievable,” Avery said. “I still talk to guys who played on that team regularly, and for that game I think we all just did everything to get us that ring. We didn’t let distractions get in our way. I felt like when I was starting to get hot that we were going to win the game.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Leading the way for Wedgewood were Madison Wolfe, Annie Miller, Kim Farinacci and Noelle St. John, who won the girls 15-and-over 200 medley relay in 2:16.71. “I felt good and it was a very competitive race,” said Wolfe, who will be a senior at Olentangy in the fall. “But what makes the difference is that we work together as a team and we’re tightknit like one big family.” St. John, who won a national championship in synchronized swimming in June, agreed. “We support each other even when we’re not at a meet,” she said. “If one of us is feeling down about anything, someone is always there to pick us up.” Gabby Veri of Scioto finished first in the girls 15-and-over 50 free (28.31) and 50 fly (30.6). Brookside’s Edward Cordek, Keeler Callahan, Andrew Rabe and Adam Rabe won the boys 15-and-over 200 free relay (1:42.38).

After the season, she began physical therapy and acupuncture treatments while trying to get back her form. After exhausting all possible treatments, Flower decided to have surgery and take a break from playing. The break from competition has left Flower in the unfamiliar position of having too much time on her hands. “It’s a different world for me. I’m used to playing tennis all the time and hanging out with my tennis friends,” Flower said. “Now I am hanging out with my school friends. Sometimes I ask, ‘What do you do with your time? I don’t know what to do.’”

While Flower was competing in the USTA national hard court championships in San Diego last August, the pain in her shoulder returned. “As the season went on, it got a lot worse,” Flower said. “I’d be sitting in class and my shoulder would just start throbbing. It was irritating, and I couldn’t concentrate. But when I’d play it would become a sharp pain right in the front of my shoulder.” That, according to UA coach Shaun Stamps, forced Flower to rethink how she trained and approached last season. “In the past, Niki was a little hard-headed.

Conservatory officials: Greenhouse will save time, money Community celebration planned Aug. 8 to commemorate first phase of master plan By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Franklin Park Conservatory’s support greenhouse, the crowning piece of a three-project capital campaign, opened over the weekend. Officials say the 9,300-square-foot facility will provide much-needed efficiency for the conservatory, which formerly had to move plants off-site throughout the year, costing staff time and money for rental space. The greenhouse will become the botanical warehouse and growing facility for plants used in several conservatory exhibitions and displays, such as bonsai plants, orchids, poinsettias for the Christmas season and plants that provide fruit nectar for the Blooms & Butterflies exhibit held from March through September. Located between the picnic shelter and the community gardens, the $1.3million greenhouse has several “green” features: permeable pavers, a retractable
Moveable plant tables will be more flexible, freeing up more space. The building, however, is not open to the general public. Bruce Harkey, executive director of the conservatory, sees a lot of potential with the addition of the greenhouse. “Having new facilities creates new opportunities at the conservatory,” he said. Conservatory officials also realize the possible need for additional greenhouse space. “I think it meets our needs right now but in a few years, we’ll need more,” said Garry Clarke, director of planning. The greenhouse opening marks the completion of the $23-million capital program at the conservatory, which inThis room, part of the new greenhouse at the Franklin Park Conservatory, cluded two 5,000-square-foot additions uses insulating curtains to artificially shorten the day to simulate the light to the John F.

24th annual festival to offer up Irish fun Aug. 5-7 By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The 24th annual Dublin Irish Festival at Coffman Park next weekend will feature a full slate of music, cultural activities, sports, food and dancing with a Celtic twist. The festival runs Aug. 5-7 in Coffman Park, which is transformed into more than 29 acres of Irish entertainment and activities. The event will include 65 acts on seven different stages with both singers and dancers. “Returning favorites in the entertainment lineup are Gaelic Storm,” events administrator Mary Jo DiSalvo said. “This is their eighth time. They were the group that played in ‘Titanic.’ We’ve also got a returning favorite, the Step Crew. They’re a touring dance act. They have fancy footwork and fantastic fiddling.” New to the lineup this year are Goitse and the Elders. A new element at the Irish rock stage will let visitors get closer to the bands. “We have a stage-side screen on the side of the Killian’s Irish rock stage. People can see the screen from a greater distance,” DiSalvo said. “We’re doing that this year because it brings the entertainers closer to the audience. People can see up close and personal.” While Irish dancing will be featured on stage, the Columbus Feis will be held across Coffman Road at Coffman High School. A winners parade will be held at 8:30 p.m. Aug. 6 on the Irish Thunder BEAT THE HEAT!
Stage. Festival visitors also can learn a little bit about Irish dance. “Throughout the weekend, if people are interested, they can go to the Ceili dance tent to learn the steps for themselves,” DiSalvo said. The festival also will feature children’s activities in the Wee Folks area. “The Wendy’s Wee Folk area is extremely popular year in and year out,” DiSalvo said. Children could do crafts, play on bounce games provided by SuperGames or check out some entertainment, events manager Alison LeRoy said. “We have a variety to hit different age groups,” LeRoy said. “For the youngest age group, we have a little area of free games for toddlers in the east Coffman shelter house. We do wristbands for the Pot o’ Gold play land, where SuperGames is. That’s $10 for a wristband. Last year, we let kids pan for different jewels in the river. It was popular last year.” Children also could create hats and crowns or shamrock bracelets and sunglasses in the craft area. On stage, Pirate MacGregor, who tells tales of Irish pirates, and Candace Mazur-Darman are popular acts, LeRoy said. “Candace gets kids involved on stage, and they help create the story,” she said. Elsewhere on the grounds are chances to shop, taste some Irish fare and drink. Cultural experiences also are available at Brian Boru’s Ireland, showing what the emerald isle was like 1,000 years ago.

working man’s band. With the group’s new record, Speed of Darkness, founder Dave King and mates have taken that motif to a new level, writing the album during a three-month stay in Detroit and focusing on the nation’s economic struggles through the eyes of those in the Motor City. Plan to get sweaty, pump a fist and raise a wrist with Flogging Molly at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Friday, July 29. Maryland rock quartet Clutch opens. Tickets are $27.50/$30.

BONUS: As a Critic Crony once said (and we paraphrase), “It’s the biggest gol-durn fair in the world.” The reference was to the Ohio State Fair, which gets under way this week. KE$HA gets the entertainment slate under way today (Thursday, July 28) and the rest of the schedule has, as always, a little something for everyone, highlighted by: Seether, July 31; David Crowder Band, Aug. 1; Loretta Lynn and the Oak Ridge Boys, Aug. 2; Journey/Foreigner/ Night Ranger, Aug. 5; and Melissa Etheridge, Aug. 6. Brad Paisley headlines the final-night show at Crew Stadium Sunday, Aug. 7. And we’re especially excited to see Meat Loaf on the schedule for our birthday — not a reference to our obsession with fair food. Visit www. ohiostate fair. com for all Meat Loaf the details.
And he wants to play the old songs. “Our newest thing, to us, is always the most urgent,” the bassist for the Goo Goo Dolls told The Beat. “We’ve started playing Sweetest Lie (first track on the band’s latest CD, Something for the Rest of Us) during our ‘charge up songs’ to open the set. A lot of times, people don’t know those songs as well, because we also use some early songs in there, too.” Turns out he wants to play all the songs. “When we get to Slide, it’s often the first song people know really well,” he said. “And if you don’t play Black Goo Goo Dolls Balloon or Iris, someone’s going to be upset, and we don’t want that to Goo Goo Dolls, with openers Michelle Branch happen.

Milestone 229: Come for the views, stay for the food The food could have totally been beside the point at Milestone 229. Born lucky in an expensively rehabbed neighborhood loaded with stunning things to gawk at, Milestone could have skated by on its good looks and its eye-candy setting: the people magnet that is the impressive new Scioto Mile development. Speaking of Scioto Mile, on one side of Milestone is a showpiece waterpark where highly stimulated kids run wildly through elaborately alternating spurts of water and adults stare in wonder. At night, the modern, sculptural, halo-like fountains ethereally produce fog, become a thrilling and hypnotic light show and are sometimes the watery screen for filmic projections. On the opposite side of Milestone are the most spectacular vistas of downtown Columbus visible from any eatery. Really, to sit on Milestone’s big, looping one-of-a-kind patio is to realize how sexy our city can be.
MENU by G. A. BENTON Cleverly, this restaurant — which is run by the Columbus Brewing Company folks — is constructed along swooping arcs that echo those halo-form fountains. Elliptical, expansive and roomy, Milestone 229 is a neat-looking, modernist metal-and-glass building. And its patio has clearly upped the ante on scenic outdoor eating in central Ohio. But Milestone is not just another pretty face. Because though its mob-attracting location would’ve ensured a captive audience even if it served awful food, Milestone’s gone the extra … er, mile and hired a real chef (Rigsby’s veteran Christian Hattemer) who’s fashioned an allAmerican, local- and fine-ingredientsourcing menu. While Milestone’s food is hardly daring, it is carefully prepared,

scratch-made stuff that aims for, and consistently hits, the familiar-disheswith-chef’s-flourishes target. The house cocktails ($9) follow a similar trajectory. Made with very good ingredients, none I tried were stinkers, but my favorite has been the perfectly named seasonal cooler called Summer Splash (Watershed gin, muddled cu-
cumber and fresh lime in refreshing harmony). Appetizers are presented with fun and verve. They range from a heavy but pleasing Skillet Mac ‘n Cheese ($7.25, huge, with a lively cheese blend, smoky bacon and toasted panko breadcrumbs served in a black skillet) to the mandatory Calamari (wittily spilling out of a Chinese takeout container) to a mayorich and abundantly red-peppered Pimento Cheese dip ($7.25) to a neat medley called Wine Quartet ($10.50, salty olives, seasoned nuts, a decent beet and orange salad, and the upstaging star of a salmon mousse). There are also handmade, hearty and rustic pizzas on thick, crispy crusts (like a salty and pungent gorgonzola and roasted mushroom, $12.50). Entree salads were solid, too, like the Wild Alaskan Salmon ($13.50), with wasabi peas, a gingery dressing and a thick miso/peanuttype sauce. Entree-wise, I tried a perfectly cooked,

OK steak (Grilled Barrel Cut Sirloin, $22) with a suave hoochy sauce, topnotch green beans plus a nifty multiplepotato hash, and a fresh-tasting and attractively plated Potato Crusted Great Lakes Walleye ($22) with a golden crispy spud shell, asparagus and creamed corn sauce. While both were good, Milestone’s giant sandwiches (all about $10) were equally satisfying, yet a lot cheaper — and they arrive with nice, crisp fries, either vinegar-tinged or of the sweet potato variety. My favorite sandwich was the standout, banh-mi-accented Tempura Battered fish. Also easily gulpable were the Three Little Pigs Porkout and a heavily herbed homemade bratwurst burger. Inevitable ending: Milestone 229 — come for the views, stay for the food.
Independent yogurt shop gives fresh spin to frozen confection Fans of a hot trend, Joey Chong and her family decided to play it cool. Not an easy thing to do in 90degree weather. Devotees of frozen yogurt, they wanted to open a store but were unimpressed with the inflexibility of national chains. So they went out on their own. On Saturday, on yet another sweltering day in central Ohio, they opened Matcha in the restaurant-diverse Bethel Centre. The independent store plays to the desires of the customer, Chong said. “I have been helping my fam-
ily and relatives with their restaurant business for many years and now I get to try a different food,” she said. “It’s dessert. When the idea of opening a frozen-yogurt store came up from the family, I was very excited because I already had frozen yogurt a few times in the East Coast and loved it so much.” Matcha, a type of Japanese green tea, offers 10 flavors a day, from the traditional — vanilla and chocolate — to the more exotic — pomegranate-raspberry, mango and, of course, matcha. The plan is to rotate the flavors

often to see what customers favor, she said. Comment cards will be provided at the store. Matcha is self-serve. Customers are given a 16-ounce cup and can fill it with as many flavors and toppings as they desire. The price is 44 cents an ounce. The real gems, she said, are the toppings, which total more than 40. Again, there are the typical options, such as nuts, granola and M&Ms, plus others that are more likely to be found in a bubble-tea store, including coconut jellies, mochi (ice cream wrapped in a soft, thin Japanese rice cake), sweetened red and green beans and popping boba (tapioca pearls filled with fruit juice). Fruit will always be fresh, never mushy, she promised. “When I travel, I always look for something different or try some local restaurants,” she said. “We will keep searching around for more unique foods and toppings to serve with yogurt.” Matcha is among a new wave of frozen-yogurt purveyors in central Ohio, which includes Orange Leaf, Red Mango, Josie’s and Cuzzins. Dean Small, founder and managing partner Synergy Restaurant Consultants near San Diego,
said the resurgence of frozen yogurt can be attributed to a couple of factors. For starters, it is perceived as a healthier option than ice cream. Also, people tend to migrate toward indulgences in a bad economy. “Comfort food always plays well,” he said. Small likes the build-your-own option being offered by Matcha and other frozen-yogurt places. “You’re putting the onus on them to create their own little masterpiece,” he said. Still, he sees a danger in oversaturation and lack of creativity from some frozen-yogurt vendors. “Some of them just aren’t that innovative,” he said. “I still think that frozen yogurt is very popular,” he added. “I don’t see it going away any time soon.” Matcha seats 20 in 1,500 square feet of space at 1462 Bethel Road. It is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (614) 564-9154. Element Pizza is slated to open Aug. 1.
