Underage drinking

City, schools reiterate social-host law

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin wants to get the message out about its social-host law.

Dublin City Council passed an amended law in 2009, making parents more accountable for underage drinking that occurs in their home, and one group wants to make sure residents know about the

social-host law and how it could affect them.

The amended city ordinance passed in 2009 changed the code from “knowingly” allowing underage drinking to negligently allowing it. The change makes it easier for the city to prosecute adults who allow underage drinking in their home or fail to stop a party with underage drinking.

The maximum penalty if convicted is six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.

Dublin council member Richard Gerber said a workshop was put together last summer with school staff, city staff, ACT members and others to “put together a pretty aggressive educational awareness campaign.”

The new task force was used to collect resources and come up with a year-

round educational campaign against underage drinking.

“The social host law had been passed and the question was how to make sure the community was aware of social host law and what it means to them as residents as far as if it’s enforced and how do we look at the success of the social host law,” said committee member and Parents Encouraging Responsible Choic-

es, or PERC, member Cheryl Wiot.

The first PSA was released last month and can be seen on dublinohiocares.me.

“We have the PSA and there will be letters that will go out to parents around prom and students at the high schools reminding them of what the law is,” Gerber said.

Dublin Rotary MLK JR. CELEBRATION partners with Westerville for polar event

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The name and location might have changed, but the Feb. 5 Polar Bear Open could still see golfers teeing off in the snow.

The annual fundraiser for the Dublin AM Rotary has moved to the Safari Golf Club, where it can be closer to an event organized by the Westerville Sunrise Rotary Club, its collaborator in the Feb. 5 festivities.

The Westerville Sunrise Rotary Club will hold its annual Wendy’s Chili Open from noon to 5 p.m. Feb. 5 at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, across state Route 750 from the Dublin AM Rotary’s Polar Bear Open.

“Last year we began pursuing a collaboration with the Westerville Sunrise Rotary, which has

Reed says goodbye as relay chair

Stephanie Reed stepped down as chair of the Dublin Relay for Life, but she won’t be absent from the overnight event.

After three years of organizing the spring Blarney Hop and summer Relay For Life, Reed is letting someone else take the reins of the events that raise money for cancer research and other services offered by the American Cancer Society.

“I’ve got a senior son and, having gotten through cancer, I realized you don’t get these moments again,” she said, noting that her son is a golfer at Jerome High School. “I know I was running crazed.

Council talks coyotes, education

Coyotes aren’t seen by many Dublin residents, but nature education coordinator Mime Migliore said they need to be aware of how to address them.

Migliore told Dublin City Council members last week she gets about 17 calls per year about coyotes and that educating residents on the wild animal is important.

Coyotes in central Ohio weigh on average 35 pounds and have brown and gray fur. Coyote sightings in Ohio have also steadily increased since 1990.

More calls about coyotes typically come during the winter, Migliore said, because the lack of vegetation makes them more visible and harsh weather makes them hunt during daytime. She also receives calls on howls, especially when emer-

gency sirens are going off. The wild animal uses howling to mark its territory and communicate.

“It’s an animal we need to be respectful of,” she said.

While attacks on humans are rare — Migliore said there are about three reported across North America annually — incidents with pets are more likely.

“They see our pets as food and territory competition,” she said.

Coyotes eat a diet of small rodents, white-tailed deer, fruit, the eastern cotton-tail rabbit, birds, raccoons, muskrats and a very small percentage of domestic cats.

Council vice president Amy Salay said she was contacted by a resident who said she had been chased by a coyote while walking her German shepherd in Coffman Park.

INSIDE The man behind Mr. Sushi has had his eye on Dublin for a long time. Kim Ji, who opened Mr. Sushi in BriHi Square on Jan. 6, said he had considered at Historic Dublin before opening his first restaurant in Gahanna seven years ago. See story, page A3.

“Would it behoove us to trim back that high brush by trails,” she asked.

According to Migliore, education for residents when dealing with coyotes is the better answer.

“That habitat is for everything, not just coyotes, but cleaner water,” she said, adding that coyotes tend not to build dens near walking and biking trails.

Dublin residents need to learn to shout and try to look big when they encounter a coyote, Migliore said.

“You need to stand up and fight back,” she said.

Migliore also offered other tips in dealing with coyotes, including never leaving before the animal — “be dominant,” she said, throw items in the direction of the animal, spray the animal with water or See COUNCIL, page A2

City, schools working to notify parents on social-host law Continued from page A1 The school district will also help with the communication process.

“We talked about a partnership and we can help each other in a number of ways and get information to parents and students in regard to what are social host laws and regulations,” Superintendent David Axner said. “A lot of time people are just unaware. We’ll use our website (and) letters. There are sessions we’ve held in the past in regards to information the city has rolled out. We can help

communicate that information to parents.”

“Overall it’s a wonderful collabortation between the schools and the city.

Along with the social host law, the committee has been pushing the texting while driving thing,” said committee member and Dublin City Schools’coordinator of diversity and equity Sean Ross. “They’re two wonderful collaborations that go hand in hand with kids and this community.”

The school district also brought something else to the table. Ross said a youth

council through Dublin ACT has helped the committee.

“I think one of the big things is being able to provide youth leadership and youth perspective,” he said. “Providing that youth council is a critical component of the council. …This group of kids is committed and serious about getting the message out about alcohol, prescription drugs and the dangers they have on the youth in the Dublin community.”

Getting Dublin City Schools students involved was also important because Wiot said the legislation came from them.

“The social host law was driven by kids coming to the city council and saying, ‘Help us curb underage drinking and help us make a cultural change in our community,’ and we’re just following up with that and requests of kids in the community,” she said.

Dublin’s interim police chief, Heinz von Eckartsberg, said the police department doesn’t get many calls for information on the social-host law, but police work to educate the community on it.

Police have been enforcing the law, he said.

Dublin Rotary partners with Westerville for polar event Continued from page A1 ident-elect. “We thought we’d change the name to Polar Bear Open which is truly in affinity with the zoo. This is the first year for the new name and new location, and we’re really excited.”

The zoo was more than happy to host the first Wendy’s Chili Open last year; the family-friendly fundraiser that includes food, drinks, music and children’s activities was previously held at Anheuser-Busch.

“With the change in ownership (of AnheuserBusch) they needed to find a new place for the event and when (the Westerville Sunrise Rotary) approached the zoo, they were thrilled,” Trusty said. “They moved there last year and when they moved to Dublin it seemed like a natural thing to work with them in some way.”

A snow storm bolstered attendance at last year’s golf outing held at the Shamrock Golf Club, but Trusty is aiming for 150 this year.

“Registration is going pretty well at this point and can be done at polarbeargolf.org,” she said.

“I was just checking the registration and we’re doing really well.”

Weather is always a wildcard for the event, but it can make for a different golfing experience, Trusty said.

“It’s totally weather contingent,” she said.

“We’ve had some beautiful 50-degree days in the past where people golfed 18 holes till 1 (p.m.) and got a little sun. But those are rare. It’s usually much colder and there’s a lot of snow on the ground. It’s definitely not regulation play.”

In the event of snow, racquet balls are used in place of golf balls and Trusty said the group uses hula hoops as golf holes.

“It’s very different and our goal first is to really enjoy camaraderie and fun,” she said. “We do have some people who come just to say they’ve golfed in February in Ohio.”

Another major goal for both rotary organizations is to raise money for children’s charities such as Nationwide Children’s Hospital and scholarships for local students, Trusty said.

“It’s truly about the Dublin AM Rotary and the Westerville Sunrise Rotary providing so much support for children’s charities in Ohio,” she said. “It’s fun, but they do good work too.”

The Polar Bear Open will kick off at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5, with registration, followed by breakfast at 8:30. Golf and a light lunch will run from 9 a.m. to noon, and awards, prizes and raffle drawings will be held between 11 a.m. and noon. A bus will be available to transport golfers to the zoo for the Wendy’s Chili Open from noon to 5 p.m.

Registration for a team of four is $320 or $80 for an individual. Registration includes golf, a golf cart, prize bag, breakfast and lunch. All Polar Bear Open participants also receive a ticket to the Wendy’s Chili Open and a pass into the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium during the event.

Registration can be completed online at polarbeargolf.org.

Tickets to the Wendy’s Chili Open can be purchased in advance for $25 at wendyschiliopen.com or at the door for $30.

“Most of the time when it’s been applied, it’s been for adult children in the family,” he said.

According to Dublin police statistics, from January through September 2010, there were 89 charges of underage consumption of alcohol and 15 underage OVIs. There were also three social-host law violations during that time, von Eckartsberg said.

“It can be fairly difficult to apply sometimes, but we’ve really reinforced our effort on how we address these parties,” he said.

Mr. Sushi expands its offerings to Historic Dublin

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The man behind Mr. Sushi has had his eye on Dublin for a long time.

Kim Ji, who opened Mr. Sushi in BriHi Square on Jan. 6, said he had considered Historic Dublin before opening his first restaurant in Gahanna seven years ago.

“Before I opened in Gahanna I looked at the J. Lui’s (building),” he said, working behind the counter at his new Historic Dublin restaurant.

The space was too expensive, so he opened at 1127 N. Hamilton Road in 2004, he said.

But when he saw BriHi Square being built, Ji saw a chance to locate in Dublin.

“This place is beautiful. You have the river down the street and a lot of traffic,” he said.

The public area of BriHi Square opened last May, but the insides of the buildings weren’t finished.

It took about three months to complete work on the inside, which features lots of specialty, handmade items, Ji said.

While Ji takes pride in the appearance of his new restaurant,

he notes his sushi rolls are made to order.

“I make sushi as people order it,” he said. “Whatever people want, I make it, and I have my menu.”

The Mr. Sushi menu in Dublin features many specialty rolls as well as teriyaki dishes, hibachi dinners, tempura, noodles and Korean ribs.

“We have 28 different special sushi rolls,” Ji said.

Popular rolls include the resource roll with shrimp tempura, crab, asparagus and spicy mayo, and kinky roll which is a spicy crab stick covered with shrimp, crab sticks and avocado.

Mr. Sushi also carries a few oddities such as eel, octopus and quail eggs, and Ji said he offers “real” sushi.

Now a citizen, Ji came to American from Korea in 1993.

He said he learned the restaurant business while working at a sushi place in Boston, but has always enjoyed cooking.

Although Mr. Sushi hasn’t been open long, Ji said people are happy it’s serving sushi and other fare.

“People are glad,” he said. “It’s

Coffman brings dark drama to stage

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A supernatural love story will return to Coffman High School after a 22-year absence.

The Coffman High School drama club will stage the Appalachian drama, “Dark of the Moon,” Jan. 27 to 29.

The play has seen its share of controversy, said director Mike Mann, but students are pleased with the dark drama of love between John, a witch boy, and Barbara Allen.

“It’s a strange story. A Romeo and Juliet story set in the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina in the 1920’s. When it first came to Broadway in the 1940’s it was a huge success,” he said. “It’s always been controversial. Up until the 70s high schools couldn’t do it.”

The “strong-themed” drama deals with rape, religion and the supernatural.

Commentary & opinion Tourism matters

A brighter outlook for 2011 as value remains en vogue Most prognosticators believe 2011 will be a better year for the tourism industry with planning and purchasing habits of the traveler continuing to be characterized by a “new resourcefulness.”

Travelers will continue to demand more in exchange for their travel dollar — more leg room, an upgraded guest room, a more bountiful breakfast included with their hotel stay, and, yes, free Internet. Value remains en vogue.

The Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau has developed an aggressive marketing plan for the upcoming year that includes innovative ways to market the city of Dublin as a great destination.

One of the key markets the bureau pursues for new business is the sports market. History tells us that youth sports travel is one segment that does not slow during economic downturns.

In fact, last year six of our largest youth events attracted more participants than in 2009. These athletic events generate much more than just hotel stays for Dublin – they generate big economic dollars for our community. Participants spend tens of thousands of dollars in our city at area restaurants, shops, attractions, etc.

Another key segment the bureau will focus on in 2011 is the SMERF (social, military, educational, religious, fraternal) market. This market generates a large

portion of its business during the weekends. We will attend several trade shows during the upcoming SCOTT year to meet with event DRING and reunion planners, enticing them to bring their events to Dublin. We’ve also launched a program called “Bring Your Event Home” that provides incentives to local residents and businesses for providing us with a lead for a potential conference, meeting or reunion.

Finally, we will continue to market Dublin in the social media world. Our multi-faceted approach to social marketing consists of communicating with current and potential visitors through numerous social media sites. The goal of these efforts is to increase

Sells teacher running, raising money

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When Kevin Levine started running in 2001, he hated it.

But the Sells Middle School math teacher eventually grew to love running and is using it to raise money on the 10th anniversary of the death of his daughter, Lila.

Lila died in 2001 at the age of two from the fatal neurological disease, Tay-Sachs.

“She died one month before her third birthday,” Levine said, explaining that the disease disables a body from getting rid of certain types of waste. The waste eventually builds up in the brain, stopping development and mental and physical functions.

It was about a month after Lila’s death when Levine took his first run with a friend.

“I was pretty much a wreck in many aspects. A friend of mine who was a runner said, ‘Come on, let’s go,’” he said. “My first run was pretty horrific.”

Before the initial 2001 run, Levine said he’d probably never

run more than a mile at a time and did it “under great duress.”

But he kept with it and Levine completed the Columbus Marathon later that year.

“I hated running for five years, but something clicked when I turned 40 and I liked running,” he said. “I’ve done eight marathons in the last four and a half years.”

Levine’s goal, on the 10th anniversary of Lila’s death, is to run three marathons this year to raise money in his daughter’s name that will be donated to the Columbus Jewish Family Services.

“I don’t like a lot of attention.

I’ve never tried to raise money based on what happened to us.

I’ve always been a donator of my own money, but I thought I had a unique opportunity, this being the 10-year anniversary of my daughter’s death,” he said. “I thought I’d try to help a good cause and get the word out about Tay-Sachs.”

If both parents carry the mutated gene that causes the disease, there is a 25 percent chance the child will be affected with TaySachs, the National Institute of

Neurological Disorders and Stroke said.

Levine and his wife were tested, but there was a mistake in testing, he said.

“I thought this was an opportunity to get the word out and help a good organization by using something I’m passionate about to help what I’m passionate about,” he said.

Levine said he runs 38 to 45 miles a week, and service is his other passion.

“I’ve been doing community service since I was in eighthgrade. I’ve been volunteering and contributing money since I was 14,” he said. “It’s always been very important to me. I’ve done Meals on Wheels. I was a Big Brother for eight years.”

Levine even took a short foray into the professional world of nonprofits when he left the technology industry after his daughter’s death before going into teaching.

Columbus Jewish Family Services asked Levine to be on its board of directors in 2002, where he served for eight years, learn-

ing about all the services they provide.

“Especially in this economy they are a vital organization. They help people find jobs,” he said.

“They’re inundated with need from hungry people, people who need counseling, (help from) domestic abuse. They run the gamut of providing support to people of every religion and every race.”

Levine’s goal is to raise $10,000 for the CJFS by running

in three marathons, one of which he’s always completed.

“I did a marathon last week at Disney World. We ran through all the parks and around the parks,” he said.

With the Columbus Marathon on his list for year, Levine said he’s sure to reach his fundraising goal as well as a personal goal.

“As of today, in just a few days I’ve raised $5,400,” he said last week. “I hope to blow by $10,000.

My own personal goal is to qualify for the Boston Marathon. You have to run a marathon in 3 hours and 30 minutes to qualify and at Disney Land I did 3 hours and 35 minutes. I’m pretty sure I’ll accomplish both goals this year.”

City news City council member Gerber to run for re-election Dublin City Council member Richard Gerber announced last week that he would run for another term on council.

Gerber’s first term as a Dublin City Council member started in 2008 when he narrowly defeated Julie Hubler with 10 votes. Council members Michael Keenan and Marilee Chinnici-

Zuercher were the top vote-getters in 2008.

Gerber serves as an at-large council member and is a partner in the Frost Brown Todd law firm. Before winning his council seat, Gerber sat on the planning and zoning commission for several years.

The terms of Keenan and Chinnici-Zuercher will also expire at the end of the year, although neither has made an announcement yet of seeking re-election.

REED STEPPING DOWN Continued from page A1 was the survivor chair.

Relay For Life has changed under Reed’s care. The first year she chaired, there was a kickoff event in March that morphed into the Blarney Hop in 2009.

Reed approached the owners of the Shoppes at River Ridge to host the post-St. Patrick’s Day parade event and it grew, she said. Oakland Nursery, owned

by Dublin City Council member and cancer survivor John Reiner, and Leo Alfred got involved.

“The next thing you know, we had this thing called the Blarney Hop,” Reed said.

The Blarney Hop is taking a year off in 2011, though, she said.

“It’s a rebuilding year for the relay committee,” she said.

“That’s what we need to concentrate on. They’re looking for more businesses and volunteers to take on roles.”

The student ambassador program, pioneered by Reed and volunteer Marianne La Rosa, will continue.

“The youth ambassadors is probably the thing I’m most proud of in my time as chair,”

she said. “It’s still alive and running in Dublin high schools.”

The program seeks to get students involved as leaders of the fight against cancer in their community; last year, one student ambassador was in charge of arranging entertainment for Relay For Life.

Reed said the number of people at Relay For Life and the money raised have increased since she’s been involved.

“We’ve grown financially every year,” she said, noting that the first year she was chair, the goal was $50,000.

Last year’s fundraising goal of $70,000 fell short by $1,500, although Reed said the money was donated shortly after the cutoff for relay contributions.

“We didn’t technically hit the goal, but we did … Last year I would say relay looked and felt

the most like what we would envision it to be in any community,” she said.

Gaffney will have to face a few obstacles Reed still can’t figure out. “People still think it’s a race,” Reed said.

The event does have people walking laps on a track; Reed said it has a festival atmosphere and included a climbing wall, inflatables, a cabaret, boxing and ping pong last year.

Still Reed said once the community understands what Relay For Life is all about, it should be embraced.

“I feel very proud of what we’ve done. We’ve gotten more volunteer resources and more community involvement,” she said. “There’s a good opportunity to turn this into the precursor to the Irish Festival that raises money for cancer.”

PROUD slates student workshop, writing contest

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin students can get some tips from pros next week on ideas, story structure and plot.

Students in grades four to eight can get pointers from professional writers during a workshop Jan. 25 organized by Dublin PROUD, or Parents Resource for Outstanding Dublin Students, in preparation for the group’s annual student writing contest.

PROUD will take fiction, nonfiction and poetry for the fifth annual writing contest; students must complete an original work no longer than 700 words and turn it in by March 1.

PROUD president Liz Soppe said the annual workshop that features five professional writers helps get creative juices flowing for students.

“There are lots of questions,” she said. “In the last few years, it’s been standing room only. We have a lot of kids that are very interested.”

Professionals at the workshop include children’s author Margaret Peterson Haddix, national training director for investigative reporters and editors Doug Haddix; children’s writer Nancy Roe Pimm; fiction and copywriter Jenny Patton; and children’s author and marketing writer Linda Forte-Spearing.

“They help kids think through concrete examples,” Soppe said of the workshop.

The writers often talk to students one-on-one after the workshop and Soppe said some are

treated like celebrities.

“Margaret (Peterson Haddix) signs a ton of autographs,” she said. “The kids just love her.”

The Jan. 25 writing workshop starts at 7 p.m. in the 1919 building, 144 W. Bridge St. It gives students several weeks to work on an admission for the writing contest.

Last year’s contest drew 300 entries from across the district and had an extra category: Dublin’s bicentennial.

This year’s categories return to fiction, nonfiction and poetry, and entries must be turned in by March 1. Details about the contest can be found online at dublinproud.org.

Winners of the Dublin PROUD writing contest can move onto the central Ohio writing contest, created by PROUD last year.

“We created a second-level contest with other districts in central Ohio,” Soppe said. “It’s sort of a prize to go on to the next level.”

Eight school districts in central Ohio were invovled in the inaugural contest last year and Soppe said more are expressing interest this year.

“We had a total of eight last year and 15 are interested this year,” she said. “We’ll have more than last year; a lot of big districts like Olentangy, Westerville and Hillard. Upper Arlington is telling me they want to do it, as well.”

Dublin PROUD is a volunteer parent group that supports academic enrichments in the district, Soppe said.

For more information about the contest, workshop or organization, look online at dublinproud.org.

DOES IT PAY TO BE UPFRONT? Conventional tax-planning wisdom holds that it is better to defer a tax bill. For instance, a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) provides an upfront tax deduction while all funds withdrawn in retirement are taxed at the IRA holder’s ordinary income tax rate. On the other hand, Roth IRAs defy this convention by foregoing, the upfront tax break. All withdrawals from Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k) plans can be withdrawn tax-free, which could prove to be advantageous in the event that future income tax rates rise. Those considering contributing to a Roth account must have income below $120,000 ($177,000 if married) in 2010. There are no income-eligibility limits to contribute to a Roth 401(k).

Investing money in an IRA helps you save for your retirement years and can provide a deduction on your tax return. I can help you open, transfer, and consolidate your retirement investment accounts, implement recommendations, provide ongoing support and monitoring, and make adjustments if needed based on the economic climate and your evolving needs. I specialize in helping pre-retirees and retirees implement wise, prudent investment strategies and avoid common investment traps.

Basketball

Consistency eludes Scioto boys team

By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With three sophomores getting regular playing time, the Dublin Scioto High School boys basketball team occasionally looks a little green.

Coach Tony Bisutti is trying to hasten the development of his younger players.

“You kind of have the theory that if you’ve played in 30 varsity basketball games over the course of two seasons that’s normal for a senior,” Bisut-

ti said. “These guys are still sophomores where consistency is concerned.

Certainly we have an eye to the future, but we’re trying to win games now.”

Without back-to-back victories since a 2-0 start, the Irish are trying to become a consistent team as they begin the second half of the OCC-Cardinal Division schedule against visiting Olentangy on Friday.

Scioto dropped to 4-7 overall with last Saturday’s 52-40 loss to Walnut Ridge, which outrebounded the Irish

41-14.

The Irish are tied with Dublin Jerome at 2-5 in the league behind Westerville South (7-0), Olentangy Liberty (6-1), Westerville Central (5-2) and Westerville North (4-3) and ahead of Olentangy (1-6) and Marysville (1-6).

“Even though we haven’t been consistent, I just feel like between every game each one of us is getting better,” sophomore guard Antonio Bisutti said. “For some of us sophomores, we’ve played in a lot of varsity games,

so it’s not like we can make a lot of excuses.”

Bisutti earned a starting spot last year, and sophomores Josh Ashwill (guard) and Travis Yates (post player) had roles off the bench. Yates has seen his playing time increase after senior post player Jamare Mills left the team last month.

Both Bisutti and Ashwill are averaging about seven points per game.

“As seniors we just try to talk to them and keep a positive attitude,” said guard Raneal Ewing, who’s av-

eraging about 16 points. “If they start missing shots, we tell them to keep shooting and worry about the next possession.”

Olentangy hasn’t looked like the team that coach Chris Kelly envisioned before the season, although 6-foot-4 forward Josh Perry has returned from a knee injury.

Scioto won the first matchup 67-41 on Dec. 7.

Hockey

Strine sets own path with Coffman

When he started playing hockey at the age of 4, Dublin Coffman High School senior Gregory Strine was hoping to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Michael, who was a high-scoring forward.

Michael Strine compiled one of the most prolific single-season point totals in the history of the Coffman hockey program, scoring 43 goals and 34 assists and finishing a plus-66 as a senior during the

2006-07 season. Michael also had 35 goals and 23 assists as a sophomore and 35 goals and 18 assists as a junior.

“I looked up to Michael when I was little and always strived to be like him,” Gregory said. “When I saw him scoring goals, I wanted to do that, too.”

But because of Gregory’s ability to skate backwards at a young age, it didn’t take long before he was converted to a defenseman. Even though he doesn’t get to bask in the glory of scoring goals on a regular basis like his older brother,

Gregory is glad he’s been able to carve out his own identity within the sport.

“I was never really a scoring type of player, and I always liked playing defense,” he said. “I didn’t even score my first goal until I was 10. It’s probably a good thing that I’ve always played defense because I have never felt the pressure to put up the amount of points that my brother did, because we play completely different positions.”

After playing sparingly on varsity as a freshman, Strine moved up to become

one of the Shamrocks’ top six defensemen the following season.

As a junior, he blossomed into one of Coffman’s top four defensemen, scoring three goals and five assists and finishing a plus-24. He helped the Shamrocks to a 28-10-2 record and their first district title before they lost to Sylvania Northview 4-0 in a state semifinal.

Strine has played well through Coffman’s first 18 games as a senior captain, See HOCKEY, page B3

Jerome girls looking to get even with Warriors

By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

At a glance

Healthy and coming off an impressive performance, the Dublin Jerome High School girls basketball team is ready to cut through the meat of its schedule.

The Celtics improved to 6-5 overall and 4-4 in the OCC-Cardinal Division with a 47-25 victory over Westerville Central last Friday. They had lost to the Warhawks 25-21 in their opener Dec. 4.

Jerome has an opportunity to avenge another early-season OCC-Cardinal loss on Friday when it plays host to Westerville North, which is 10-3 and 6-2. The Warriors beat the Celtics 28-26 on Dec. 7.

“Last time we played North, it was a defensive slugfest, and I expect another good matchup this time,” coach Matt Martin said.

“It seems like every week, it’s even more of a competition. We have another good team and wellcoached squad ahead.”

North has lost two consecutive games, falling to Dublin Coffman 51-46 on Jan. 8 and to

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Jerome boys and girls basketball teams: BOYS *Last Friday — Lost to Westerville Central 67-62. Jeremy Grubbs scored 14 points, Cam Wilson scored 13 and Nick Neale scored 10. *Friday — At Westerville North *Tuesday — At Olentangy Liberty *Jan. 28 — At Westerville South Of note: The Celtics are 4-8 overall and 2-5 in the OCC-Cardinal.

GIRLS *Last Friday — Defeated Westerville Central 47-25 *Friday — Home vs. Westerville North *Tuesday — Home vs. Olentangy Liberty *Jan. 28 — Home vs. Westerville South Of note: The Celtics are 6-5 overall and 4-4 in the OCC-Cardinal. *OCC-Cardinal game

league-leading Olentangy 57-53 last Friday. The Warriors played both games without senior forward Bri Clegg and also were missing guard Ellie Vosler last Friday.

“Bri should be back (Friday) after injuring an ankle, but Ellie

Vosler is out probably at least another week with a concussion,” North coach Jim Kloepfer said.

“We played well against Olentangy, but they hit some shots down the stretch. Now we have to play a Jerome team that played us tough last time and they keep improving.”

North is led by senior Caitlin Kusan, a 5-foot-10 senior post player who averages 13.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.9 assists. Point guard Monique Jones is averaging 11.0 points and 3.6 assists with 14 3-pointers, and Clegg is averaging 8.8 points with 15 3-pointers.

“We have to play at North and stopping Kusan and Jones is always tough,” Martin said. “They have lost two games in a row, but to their credit battled against two really good opponents.”

Olentangy leads the OCC-Cardinal at 7-1, followed by North and Dublin Scioto at 6-2, Jerome at 4-4, Central and Westerville South at 3-5, Marysville at 2-6 and Olentangy Liberty at 1-7.

“We’re pretty game-heavy on

By Mike Munden/ThisWeek

Dublin Jerome High School gymnast Hannah Ruddle said she learned a lot watching defending state champion Brecksville-Broadview Heights compete in the McGee Invitational last Saturday at Dublin Coffman.

Now, Ruddle wants to apply that knowledge to the second half of the season. The junior was the only gymnast from Dublin schools to receive a medal at the invitational after finishing fifth on beam with an 8.725.

“I watched (the Bees) on a couple of events and saw how confident they were and how well the team supports each other,” said Ruddle, who also had the Celtics’ highest scores on vault (8.47), bars (7.425) and floor (8.45). “Jerome was one of the smaller teams there, so it was nice to see how the bigger teams compete and we compete.”

Coffman (eighth, 126.85), Jerome (11th, 113.45) and Scioto (13th, 103.975) all finished well behind the Bees. BrecksvilleBroadview Heights, which had the best team scores on vault (36.7), bars (36.2), beam (35.0575) and floor (37.0), won the invitational with 144.975 points.

It was the fifth consecutive McGee championship for the Bees, who have won 10 state team titles, including the past seven. DeSales (135) and Painesville Riverside (132.725) were second and third.

Celtics coach Kristen Willms said the McGee Invitational showed that Ruddle can compete with the area’s elite.

“She had an awesome beam routine, which is one of her strongest events, but right now I can’t think of an event that she’s not strong,” Willms said. “I’m just waiting for her to hit on all four events at the same meet.

When she does it’s going to be awesome.”

The Celtics had the sixth best team score on beam (30.325) and had a 23.845 on vault, a 27.6 on bars and a 31.275 on floor.

Other top performers included junior Bailey Burkholder, who scored an 8.45 on beam and an 8.85 on floor, and sophomore Kaitlin Willette, who had a 7.825 on vault. Jerome came into the meet after losing freshman Autumn Baker to a broken foot.

Baker had a gymnastics mat fall on her foot as her team got ready for practice.

“We had to re-adjust our lineup a little bit. I thought the girls did really well,” Willms said.

“All three of the girls who vaulted had their high scores. We want to keep building on that.

OHSAA

Committee proposes new factors for divisions

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Including the state football championships won by Hartley and Watterson, non-public schools won five of the six state football titles and 19 of the 27 total state team championships awarded by the Ohio High School Athletic Association during the 2010 fall season.

If the OHSAA has its way, it could be tougher in the future for non-public schools — which comprise just 12 percent of the OHSAA’s more than 800 members — to dominate at such a high level.

On Jan. 13, the organization’s Board of Directors unanimously placed a new bylaw up for vote based on recommendations from the OHSAA’s Competitive Balance Committee that would be the first step toward chang-

ing how schools are assigned to tournament divisions.

The proposed new bylaw, which initially would be instituted for football, boys and girls soccer and girls volleyball in the fall, boys and girls basketball in the winter, and baseball and softball in the spring, will be voted on

by OHSAA member schools in May. The proposal states that each school will be placed into tournament divisions based on its sport-by-sport “athletic count,” which would be based on a three-part formula.

If approved, implementation of the formula would begin no later than the 2013-14 school year and would be determined every other year by the Board of Directors.

“The meetings we have conducted with the Competitive Balance Committee have been both productive and professional, and I believe the pro-

posal from the group is fair and equitable and we will see some leveling of the playing field,” OHSAA Commissioner Dan Ross said in a press release. “Ohio is unique in that our public schools have the option to approve open-enrollment policies, but, at the same time, there’s no question that most non-public schools in the state have no geographical boundaries in which they can secure students, and the result has been a disproportionate number of championships won by those schools.”

All OHSAA schools currently are placed into tournament divisions based strictly on enrollment figures that the schools submit to the Ohio Department of Education.

The proposed three-part formula to establish “athletic counts” would require the OHSAA to include factors in three areas: school boundaries, socioeconomic

factors and tradition factors.

The “school boundary” factor would be divided into the categories of nonpublic schools with no boundaries, non-public schools with limited boundaries, public schools with statewide open enrollment, public schools with adjacent open enrollment and public schools with no open enrollment.

The “socioeconomic factor” would be determined by the number of free lunch participants.

The “tradition factor” would be determined by state championship game appearances, state tournament appearances and regional finals appearances.

Once all three factors are applied to the enrollment count, each school would have a sport-by-sport “athletic count” for purposes of tournament division assignments.

In central Ohio, schools that likely would be affected by some of the

changes would include DeSales, St. Charles and Ready, as well as Hartley and Watterson from the CCL, Columbus Academy from the MSL, traditional boys basketball and boys soccer power Worthington Christian and members of Columbus City Schools.

The OHSAA’s Competitive Balance Committee was formed in January 2010 in response to concerns raised by a group of school administrators in northeast Ohio. The committee met numerous times throughout 2010 in an attempt to identify competitive balance factors and to propose changes.

It was comprised of 29 school administrators and coaches from across the state from public and non-public schools. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

JEROME Continued from page B1 the back end of our schedule,” Martin said. “In the final month, we want to focus on keeping fresh legs. I gave the girls an extended weekend (through last Monday) because we don’t play until Friday and we’ll have three days to prepare for that. Then we have a bunch of three-game weeks and we have to stay ready mentally and physically for that.”

Martin was pleased with his team’s play in the post in the win over Central. Center Lindsay

Rieland scored 11 points and forward Sarah Auker scored 10.

Point guard Kaitlin Miller added eight points.

“I liked that we held (Central) to 25 points and we scored 47 points, which is one of our top tier offensive games this year,” Martin said. “Auker and Rieland combined for 21 points inside and we had single-digit turnovers, which meant we took care of the ball well. We played fundamental defense and played under control.”

Miller is leading Jerome in scoring, averaging 10.7 points.

Senior guard Brooke Carrel and sophomore guard Katherine McCoy both are averaging 6.6 points, followed by Rieland (5.6) and Auker (5.5).

“This is probably the healthiest we have been in the past few seasons,” Martin said. “We’re healthy and we shot 50 percent from the field against Central, which is good because of the multiple zone defenses they were throwing at us.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Boys Basketball

Several of district’s top teams to be on display

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Three central Ohio high school boys basketball teams ranked in the top 10 in the Division I state poll, as well as several other expected area powers, will be in action this weekend at a pair of college venues.

The ninth annual Ohio Play-By-Play Classic, which in past years has been held at Ohio State, features four games Saturday at Capital University and three Sunday at the Schottenstein Center. An event Saturday at Ohio State forced organizers to find an alternative location for games that day.

“We haven’t played at Capital before, but it’s a really nice facility,” said Dublin Coffman coach Jamey Collins, whose team opens the event at 2 p.m.

Saturday against Walnut Ridge. “They had a little jam up because the Schottenstein Center wasn’t available on Saturday, but the organizers were up front about it. It’ll be good for the kids to be in that environment.”

Below is a breakdown of the matchups at the Play-By-Play Classic: •Dublin Coffman vs. Walnut Ridge — After winning a Division I district championship and going 20-4 a year ago, Coffman was fourth in the ThisWeekSPORTS.com Super 7 for Jan. 10-16 despite having several new players in key roles. Senior guard Christian Heine is a four-year varsity play-

er and key member of the team’s backcourt and senior guard Zack Riddle is averaging 17 points in his first season with the Shamrocks after transferring from Watterson.

Walnut Ridge was first in the City League-South Division entering play last Tuesday and features one of the area’s biggest frontcourts. Senior Austin Traylor, a 6-foot-4 forward who has verbally committed to play football for Wisconsin, is averaging 19 points. Senior Dwayne Bazemore is a 6-10 post player.

“They’re just loaded with talent,” Collins said. “They’re the type of team we’ll have to play in the tournament, so it will be a good test for us.”

•Gahanna vs. Chillicothe — The only matchup that features two stateranked teams will pit Gahanna, the No. 4 team in Division I last week, against Chillicothe, the No. 2 team in Division II a week ago.

The Lions are led by senior Stevie Taylor, an Ohio University signee who is averaging 16 points, three assists and 2.7 steals. Jamel Morris, Brandon Smith and Trey Warr are other key players among a nine-member senior class that has Gahanna ranked second in the ThisWeek Super 7 poll.

Chillicothe sports a frontcourt that features 6-9 junior Malik London and 6-7 senior Jalen Ragland but also has a pair of talented players in the backcourt in sophomore point guard Zach

“I love Capital’s gym,” Lions coach Tony Staib said. “It’ll be a good environment.”

•Westerville South vs. Burlington (N.J.) Life Center Academy — South, which was ranked sixth in the state poll last week and third in the Super 7, has a Division I recruit in Wisconsin-signee Traevon Jackson.

The 6-2 guard averages 17 points and more than four assists for the Wildcats, who have a trio of other ball-handlers with significant experience in seniors Ben Jones and Damarkeo Lyshe and junior Isaiah Rogers.

Life Center won nine of its first 12 games and features 6-8 senior forward Laquinton Ross (21.5 ppg, 10.9 rebounds), senior guard John Johnson (18.5 ppg, 3.6 assists) and junior guard Andre Horne Jr. (13.5 ppg, 7.2 rebounds). Ross signed with Ohio State

Continued from page B1 as he has five goals, five assists, 11 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating.

“I was more of a stay-at-home defenseman until my junior year,” he said. “My shot’s a lot harder now because I’ve been working out a lot more this past year. I’ve gotten a lot faster and I have better hands, so I can join the rush with the forwards. One thing that helped me is I played forward for Team Columbus in the fall, and it got me used to scoring.”

Coach Perry Pooley said Strine has improved at a consistent pace each season.

Strine has been called upon to play more minutes the past four games, as two of the Shamrocks’ other top defensemen, Matt Smith (broken right wrist) and Matt Terry (strained back), have been out of the lineup.

“Michael Strine had more natural skill with the puck, but Greg’s a hard worker and he’s matured both physically and as a player,” Pooley said. “We’ve been counting on Greg more than ever with Matt Smith and Matt Terry out, and he’s doing a good job.

Below are the recent results and coming schedule for the Coffman, Jerome and Scioto hockey teams: COFFMAN *Friday — Olentangy at Chiller North *Saturday — Thomas Worthington at Chiller Dublin *Sunday — DeSales at Chiller Easton Of note: The Shamrocks are 11-6-1 overall and 3-2-1 in the CHC. JEROME Last Friday — Defeated Oxford Talawanda 10-0 in MLK Tournament Last Saturday — Def. Findlay 5-1 in MLK Tournament Last Sunday — Def. Mentor 5-0 and def.

We have him out there when we’re on the power play or penalty kill. He’s in there for all of the key situations because he’s one of our most reliable defensemen.

This year, he’s learned to join the rush well and to jump up into plays well. He’s come a long way.”

Strine, who has a cumulative 3.7 grade point average, isn’t sure if he’s going to try to play for a college club team, so he’s hoping he can finish his high school career on a high note.

“We want to make it to the state final this year, and I think we’ve

“I’m planning on going to Purdue or Ohio State to study aerospace engineering, and whether or not I play club hockey depends on where I go, because Ohio State’s club hockey team is more competitive and harder to make. I’m just approaching this season like it’s my last year of playing hockey and doing everything I can to help my team win.”

in November.

•Northland vs. Akron St. VincentSt. Mary — Northland is off to another solid start despite losing 2010 Naismith Player of the Year Jared Sullinger to graduation, with senior guard Trey Burke taking on the leading role.

A Michigan-signee, Burke heads a cast that also features 6-8 juniors Jalen Robinson and Devon Scott as well as junior guard Jordan Potts. The Vikings were fifth in the state poll last week and first in the Super 7.

St. Vincent-St. Mary split its first 10 games, as senior DeVonte Beard (14.9 ppg), senior Ricky Johnson (11.8 ppg) and 6-6 junior Lorenzo Cugini led the way offensively.

•Canal Winchester vs. Hartley — Two of central Ohio’s best Division II teams this season have been the Hawks and Indians, who were first and third, respectively, in the area coaches poll last week.

Hartley, which snapped DeSales’ 50game home winning streak with a 5140 victory Jan. 7, is led by 6-6 sophomore post player Jacob Matuska and senior forward Kendal Sherrod.

Seniors Joe Collier (6-5 post player), Sam Jones (6-0 guard), Kyle Schriml (6-1 forward) and Michael Walker (510 guard) are among the top players for Canal Winchester.

“Kids enjoy playing at the (Schottenstein Center),” said Indians coach

Kent Riggs, whose squad last competed at the Play By Play Classic in 2008. “It’s been a good experience for us over the years. Hartley is playing really well right now, so we know we’ll have our hands full.”

•Teays Valley vs. St. Bernard Roger Bacon — Teays Valley opened by winning seven of its first eight games, holding opponents to an average of 40.5 points.

Senior Nate Anderson, a 6-9 post player and North Carolina-Wilmington signee, leads the Vikings. Other key players are Tyler Dresbach and Cole Bowling.

Roger Bacon was 7-3 at the mid-point of its regular season, with senior guard Paul Byrd (15.6 ppg, 4.3 rebounds) and 6-6 senior Jabriel Coaston (11.9 ppg, 4.7 rebounds) leading the way.

•Fairfield vs. Peebles — Fairfield won six of its first nine games, as junior guard Jeff Woods led in scoring (9.7 ppg). The Indians have been holding opponents to an average of 46 points per game.

Peebles got off to a 6-1 start, with 6-2 seniors Andy Countryman and Blake Justice leading the way. Justice had 42 points in a 67-65 loss to Manchester on Dec. 28, and Countryman scored 29 in an 89-49 win over Chillicothe Southeastern on Dec. 3. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Coffman names new coaches in three sports Dublin Coffman High School will have new coaches in three spring sports, according to athletics director Tony Pusateri.

Mike Murphy will be the new girls lacrosse coach and Jim Ferguson is taking over the boys track and field program after being an assistant last season.

Brent Hundertpfund will coach the boys tennis program, pending school board approval.

Murphy has been working for the Dublin Youth Athletics girls lacrosse program for the last seven years and is taking over for Gena Han,

who led the Shamrocks to an 8-7 record in her only season as coach last spring. Han was a former Coffman player who is pursuing her master’s degree.

Continued from page B1 dropped seven of eight games, including a 78-60 loss to Westerville North last Friday.

“With Perry back, it’s not going to be like it was back in December,” coach Bisutti said.

“We also have a different look in the post position. But they know what we’re going to do and it’s going to boil down to execution.”

The Irish could use a victory ahead of Tuesday’s game at Westerville South, which defeated Scioto 65-39 on Dec. 10.

In the last meeting, South used a 13-2 run to open up a 15-point halftime lead. The Wildcats then outscored Scioto

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Scioto boys and girls basketball teams: BOYS *Last Friday — Defeated Marysville 61-50. Raneal Ewing scored 24 points.

Last Saturday — Lost to Walnut Ridge 52-40. *Friday — Home vs. Olentangy. Scioto won 67-41 on Dec. 7. *Tuesday — At Westerville South. The Wildcats won 65-39 on Dec. 10.

Of note: The Irish are 4-7 overall and

21-6 in the third quarter.

“It’s going to take four quarters to be a team like that,” Ewing said. “We’ve got to finish our games and not just two or three quarters.”

The schedule doesn’t get any easier for Scioto after that. The Irish have home league games

2-5 in the OCC-Cardinal.

GIRLS *Last Friday — Def. Marysville 49-38 Last Saturday — Lost to Pickerington Central 54-45. Scioto led 22-10 after the first quarter. *Friday — At Olentangy. The Braves won 65-39 on Dec. 7 *Tuesday — Home vs. Westerville South. The Wildcats won 36-31 on Dec. 10.

Of note: The Irish are 9-4 overall and 6-2 in the OCC-Cardinal. *OCC-Cardinal game

with Westerville North on Jan. 28 and Westerville Central on Feb. 4.

“We’re at the point where you’ve got to pull off a win with having those games at home,” coach Bisutti said.

haney offered that one of the best things about their current co-headlining tour with Circa Survive is keeping the sets to a controlled length in order to save the singers’ voices.

When it’s suggested he would need no such favor, he deadpanned, “Right.

My fingers never get tired.”

A good thing, given the amount of time the modern rock quintet spends on the road. McAlhaney said the band won’t rehearse together for this upcoming tour because of the length of the previous one and the shortness of the break between.

“We just played these songs a bajillion times in a row, so we’ll likely just have an e-mail exchange about a set list and that’s it,” he said.

McAlhaney said he’ll fly in to Richmond (Virginia, the next tour stop) and meet the rest of the band a day before the show.

Anberlin, with co-headliner Circa Survive and opener Foxy Shazam, will play the Newport Music Hall Saturday, Jan. 22. Tickets are $18.50/$21. Call 1800-745-3000.

The heavy touring schedule is dictated in part because the band has a new record out — Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place hit late in 2010 and debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 Albums.

“The last record (New Surrender), we felt like it was rushed,” McAlhaney explained. “We signed with Universal Republic just after Cities came out, and they wanted new material. We were tour-

Which was a record more moody and challenging while retaining the band’s anthemic approach.

Another way Dark finds the band stretching itself is in arrangements. McAlhaney said one of his favorite songs on the record is Pray Tell, which is very percussion-heavy.

“At one point in the recording process, there were seven people playing drums in the studio,” he said. “It was very cool mixing all that percussion.”

The title of the album is taken from a Dylan Thomas poem, and McAlhaney said he was sold right away.

“We are just poachers (of the line), but to me, it’s a dark but hopeful phrase,” he explained. “This record has more of

a darker feel, but no matter how tough life is, there’s a light at the end.”

McAlhaney said signing with a major label wasn’t necessarily planned, but it fit with the group’s goals.

“There’s a saying that if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans,” McAlhaney said. “But obviously, in everything you do, you have goals and a plan to achieve them. We have a group agreement on what we’ll do and what we won’t do. As long as there’s growth and momentum — we just don’t want to spin our wheels.

“The bigger the band gets, the better,” McAlhaney said with a laugh. “I love the idea of art for art’s sake, but art doesn’t pay the rent.”

Cumin Indian Restaurant a fine replacement for Bayleaf When I heard Bayleaf was going out of business, I grimaced. The Polaris-area restaurant was one of my favorite places for Indian food.

But when I heard the Cuisine of India people were taking over, I cheered up. You see, like Bayleaf, Cuisine of India is modern and authentic, serving both beloved classics and lots of contemporary-style dishes popular in cosmopolitan Indian cities.

So when I waltzed into Cumin Indian Restaurant my expectations were pretty high. After a few visits, I realized this newbie was destined to shoot to the top of my Indian food list.

Other than closing off the formerly open kitchen, Cumin’s owners haven’t performed any drastic cosmetic makeovers. It’s still a big, modern, open and airy room with few, if pleasant, decorations (chiefly multi-hued, saucer-shaped chandeliers) to distract visitors from

by G.A. Benton the task at hand — masticating on fabulously flavored chow.

While buffets aren’t usually my thing, Cumin’s is, especially on weekends. That’s when the chaat station gets cranking, and I’m an inveterate fan of chaat.

If you’ve never had them, chaats are Indian street-sold snacks that are meat-free riots of bold condiments, wild flavors and manifold textures. Fortunately, this generalization held true on a recent — and blissfully lengthy — lunchtime stopover at Cumin’s great buffet.

In front of a longish line and manning a mammoth round pan, the buffet’s chaat guy began with a crispy puck of a potato pancake.

To that he added a scoop of soupy,

highly seasoned chickpeas. Then came the garnishing : tart yogurt; chutneys of coriander (spicy) and tamarind (sweet); diced raw onion, tomato and cilantro; plus a finishing dusting of exotic, eggy-tasting chaat masala. It’s a crazy mess to eat, but I find its push-me/pullme flavors and textures to be an incomparable delight.

Post-chaat, there’s a dizzying array of buffet choices — the thing goes on forever. I counted six meat entrees (two in kabob form); five veggie entrees; two soups; two rice dishes; a large salad/condiment bar and four desserts.

I liked everything I tried, but was especially fond of the Baigan Bharta (wonderful eggplant stew),

Aloo Cabbage (addictive mixed vegetable curry), and spicy, sweet and sour chicken dumplings.

As for non-buffet appetizers, the huge, dense and firm chilimarinated homemade cheese kabobs (Paneer Shaslik, $9) had a great grilled flavor but their accompanying veggies (onion, garlic, peppers) were disarmingly uncooked.

For an explosive curry, go for the Cumin Melthi Harydi ($12).

Featuring a complex, aromatic, rich, carrot-colored gravy with a sneaky heat, the head-spinning dish was cleverly equipped with refreshing, mouth-cleansing sticks of ginger. Awesome.

On the tamer side, but still terrific, was Cumin’s sizzling grill

($15, easily feeds two). Like a giant platter of mixed Indian fajitas, it’s a great way to sample several items on Cumin’s large menu.

The “grill” was a round-up of about five kinds of smokily seared, delicious kabobs, my favorites of which were Haryali Tikka (juicy, boneless chicken chunks in a zesty pesto) and Lajwab Seek kabob (huge logs of ground lamb with minced green pepper, onion and cilantro). The mammoth dinner came with fluffy basmati rice and excellent dal.

While none of Cumin’s desserts disappointed, the Gajar Halwa ($4 — milky, cardamomy, nutty and fruity shredded carrots) — was especially fun to munch.

Greek diner near UA takes simple approach to food, ambience Yiagos and Stratis Kostoglou had simplicity in mind when opening Greek to Me. The menu, for the time being, is a small and manageable collection of breakfast and lunch fare served in a humble dining room with blue and white gingham tablecloths and some Greek accents.

“We want to make sure we serve good Greek food. We don’t want to make things complicated,” said Stratis, who opened the store with his father at 4697 Reed Road in Northwest Columbus.

The breakfast items consist of the familiar – omelets, pancakes, French toast and typical sides, such as bacon, links and home fries. The lunch menu offers similarly approachable dishes, such as gyros,

subs, moussaka, pastitsio and souvlaki. They wanted prices to be inviting, too, as most entrees run between $6 and $8.

It is the first restaurant for the pair. Yiagos worked as a steward on Greek cargo ships, helping coordinate three meals a day, not to mention private functions, for 30 hungry sailors. He eventually opened A Matter of Steak in Westland Mall, which he later sold. Meanwhile, his son was an assistant kitchen manager at Texas Roadhouse.

Jerome Township to ask for 2.9-mill fire levy

By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Jerome Township board of trustees voted Wednesday morning to place a new fire levy on the May ballot. Unlike a similar levy that was narrowly voted down last year, however, this levy comes with an expiration date.

The trustees voted 3-0 on Jan. 12 to pose an additional 2.9-mill levy for the purpose of providing fire services to the township, for a period of five years. An ongoing levy of the same millage was denied by residents in November 2010.

The decision to ask for the levy follows efforts by the township to deal with a projected 2011 budget deficit, along with a reduction in state funding expect-

A closer look If approved, the levy would generate $588,835 annually, according to figures provided by the county auditor’s office. Without further reductions or sources of funding, the township’s fire budget projects a fund balance deficit beginning in FY 2015 of $84,000.

ed over the next five years.

Fire chief Scott Skeldon said that all paid part-time firefighters’ positions have been eliminated. Doing so resulted in cost savings of $143,000, according to fiscal officer Robert Caldwell.

“Our level before that was 24-

hour coverage a day,” Skeldon said. “Right now we don’t have any part-time coverage, and we’re not going to have any for 2011.”

Skeldon said that if the levy were to pass, the fire department could discuss a couple different options — bringing the part-time firefighter coverage back to 24hour levels; providing 12-hour part-time coverage during peak hours; or coordinating part-time firefighters with full-time firefighters’ vacation and off-time.

Caldwell said that currently the township’s 2011 budget shows a projected deficit of $32,000; that budget will need to be balanced to provide for enough surplus to enter 2012.

Reductions already made in the budget include the elimina-

a permanent solution,” Caldwell said. “This would be a temporary fix for the five-year period, and maybe by that point other factors will have improved.”

Trustee Andy Thomas said changing the levy request to a five-year plan, instead of last year’s ongoing levy proposal, will keep the board in good management order.

“I think some of the people voted (in the last election) with their pocketbooks,” he said.

Trustee Bob Merkle said presenting the request to voters must be done clearly.

“That’s one of the concerns

the public had (asking for an ongoing levy), and we need to get this in a format the public will understand,” he said. “We definitely need the money, and I think a five-year levy — the permanent option did concern some of the people from what I’ve heard.”

Caldwell said that with the resolution adopted by the trustees, the township will now immediately take that resolution to the county auditor to have the figures certified.

It will then be submitted to the county board of elections.

The election date is May 3, 2011.

Union County Humane Society gathers fundraising momentum

By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Union County Humane Society has picked up its fundraising efforts with the start of the new year, not just to provide for a new building expansion but also to keep its doors open.

Director Steffen Baldwin said that while volunteers and staff raise funding toward a $400,000 expansion plan, fundraising also provides a large part of UCHS’s operating expenses.

“Over 40 percent of our regular budget comes from fundraising, so we have fundraising going on at both ends right now,” Baldwin said. “We’ll be holding some big events like our March gala to raise money for operating expenses, but we’re anticipating that those who regularly donate to us are going to choose to

help the new campaign, rather than our regular expenses.”

Last month, UCHS volunteers announced plans for the expansion of the current 3,000-square-foot animal shelter on County Home Road, adding another 3,000 square feet to the facility.

The process began with a gift of $100,000 from a private donor for the $400,000 project, according to Baldwin. Fundraisers have been tasked with matching that donation by the end of March.

“The fundraising has been fantastic so far; we have a pledge of a dollar-fordollar match, and by the end of December we were just shy of $30,000,” Baldwin said. “I’m sure that momentum won’t keep up like that, but we would like it to.”

The expansion plan for UCHS includes quarantine rooms for dogs and

cats, twice as many dog kennels, a 26percent larger cat room, a new, larger surgery room, a dedicated intake room for strays, security system and amenities for the public. Baldwin said that while some of the additions will make life easier on the shelter’s animals, he thinks some of the upgrades are vital.

“There are really three things — first of all we’ll have a dedicated quarantine room with its own door, and a separate intake from where the adoptions happen,” Baldwin said. “We take in a lot of strays, with no knowledge of what infections they may have — right now everything goes in and out the front door.

If a virus goes through the shelter, that’s a huge cost involved, to the worst-case scenario of euthanasia.”

Baldwin said increasing kennel space is also key to match the community’s

Police news Police arrest theft suspect Robert Eric Ghent, 23, was charged with breaking and entering after Dublin police saw him allegedly taking construction materials last week.

Ghent, of Columbus, was observed by Dublin police removing metal conduit pipes valued at $150, from a construction site in the 6300 block of Perimeter Loop Road at 12:32 a.m. Jan. 8, a news release from the city stated.

Ghent allegedly placed the

growth.

“Our county is the third-fastest growing in the state,” he said. “With our contract with the county, we cannot turn away any strays. Instead, we have to turn away the people who want to surrender their pets to us. If we have 50 percent more kennels, we’ll be able to accept a lot more of those animals that need help.”

With the addition of a large storage area in the back of the facility, UCHS will be able to double as a disaster-preparedness site, Baldwin said, where UCHS can coordinate with the Red Cross in disaster situations.

“While that’s a change we hope to never need to use, we’re really excited to have the capability,” he said.

Several area businesses and schools have offered to help with the fundraising, Baldwin said. Students at Marysville

High School are collecting their change for the project, and businesses like the Farmhouse Ice Cream Parlor and Nextel in Marysville are contributing some sales to the cause. Baldwin said a billiard tournament to raise more money is in the works for April 16 at The Cuestick Cafe in Maryville, along with several other fundraisers in coming months.

“We’re trying to let people know that we still need their ongoing support,” he said. “We’re hoping that people will be able to make two donations this year, one for our operations and another for the expansion, but if not, we’re planning for that reality.”

pipes in his truck and attempted to leave, but Dublin police stopped and arrested him. Dublin police had the Perimeter Loop Road Midwestern Auto Group construction site under surveillance Jan. 8 because of thefts at the site the three previous nights, the release said.

Ghent was charged with breaking and entering by the police and remained in Franklin County Jail Jan. 14 as police investigated whether he is connected to the other thefts at the Midwestern Auto Group construction site.
