There’s something coolabout new music that has a

classic feel to it — or is it tradition-al music that has a fresh feel to it?

Either way, there’s much to likeabout Briar Rabbit’s indie pop-and-soul — the band’s CD, Briar Rab-bit & The Company You Keep feelslike Hall & Oates or Culture Club ormaybe even Stevie Wonder. Whichis not to say the record sounds likeany of those artists.

You’re just going to have to makesense of it for yourself, as the Chica-go-based outfit plays Kafe Kerouac,with Yellow Birddd, Friday, Aug.19. Call (614) 299-2672.

Blues legend and Rock andRoll Hall-of-Famer Buddy

Guy can still bring it hard and heavyeven into his 70s.

Recent work has found Guy re-turning some to the Mississippi deltablues he grew up with in Louisiana— which is itself sometimes sur-prising, given the guitarist’s status asa Chicago blues hero. But it was, ofcourse, Guy who helped move theblues north in the first place.

Guy plays Lifestyle CommunitiesPavilion Friday,Aug. 19, with open-er Quinn Sullivan, a 12-year-oldguitar prodigy. Tickets are $25. Call1-800-745-3000.

Hard to believe BritneySpears is only a few months

shy of 30.What’s good is to see is that, gen-

erally, she’s back in the news most-ly for being a pop star than for what’sgoing on in her personal life.

Her music has grown up beforeour eyes as well, from bubblegumdance pop to urban-R&B-influencedpop to full-on dance floor beat pop.And Femme Fatale, her latest, con-tinues a remarkable string of popu-lar success.

The Femme Fatale Tour, with DJPauly D, Destinee & Paris and

Jacob Latimore, comes to Nation-wide Arena Saturday,Aug. 20. Tick-ets are $102.50-$32.50. Call 1-800-745-3000.

Pat Benatar’s remains thevoice against which The Beat

measures all other woman rockers.As a Critic Crony once said, “If I wasstarting an all-star band and neededa female singer, I’d pick Pat Benatar.”

Benatar and her husband, Neil Gi-raldo, reeled off a string of hits in the’80s, mostly straight-ahead rockerslike Promises in the Dark, Hit MeWith Your Best Shot, Heartbreaker,

Shadows of the Night andFire and Ice. The duo hassince done blues records andstripped-down acousticshows, but their 2011 TheElements of Five tour is afull-band show.

Including a stop Tuesday,Aug. 23, at Newark’s Mid-land Theatre. Tickets are$72.50-$42.50. Call (740)345-5483.

Joseph Leo Bwarie has met FrankieValli plenty of times.

But the singer-actor told The Beat thatwhat he does for a living isn’t part of theirconversations. Bwarie’s job happens to beportraying Valli in the musical productionJersey Boys, first in Las Vegas and, more re-cently, in the show’s touring production.

“We never talk about the job,” Bwarie said.“We understand that he’s Frankie and I’mplaying Frankie.”

If that comes across somewhat comical,that’s not his intent.

“Most of the time, in the theater, you don’thave to portray a real person,” Bwarie said.“It can be a great challenge.”

A challenge which includes, in this par-ticular instance, singing in the style of thelegendary Valli falsetto. Bwarie knew he wasup to the task, though, before auditioning,despite the fact that his natural singing voiceis quite different.

“I knew I could sing it,” he said. “And Ihave the dark hair, and my short height foronce would come in handy. At that point, itwas up to the producers to see if I had whatthey wanted as an actor and personality.

“Getting your voice right to sing FrankieValli night after night requires you to findsomethingin yourg e n e t i cmakeup,”B w a r i esaid. “Thatbright, cut-ting soundis whyhe’s so fa-mous.”

None-the less ,Bwarie’sapproachto the rolehas ofteninvolvedremovingthe singingstar as-pect fromhis char-

acter. Jersey Boys requires it.“Being in the mindset of Frankie Valli is

looking at him not as a celebrity but as aman,” he said. “Take away the voice and theRock and Roll Hall of Fame and you have ahusband and father and friend — someonewho was not always successful at all of theseelements.”

Which is not to suggest the show isn’tabout the singing. The writers provide a lotof backstory early in the show, forcing au-diences to wait a full 40 minutes to hear Sher-ry.

“Then the place comes unglued,” Bwariesaid.

For his part, Bwarie particularly enjoyssinging the songs in the second act, “whenthe band has transitioned out of the highfalsetto.”

“Working My Way Back to You makes mefeel good as a singer; it fits my voice,” headded.

Once again, central Ohio diners stepped up fortheir favorite restaurants by voting in Readers Poll:Columbus Dining. Opinions vary, obviously, sothere will be strong disagreements among the din-ing public. But that’s to be expected.

Per usual, chains had a strong showing. Thatseems to bring about the most consternation amongour readers. But volume drives a lot of these cate-gories. And it should be noted that in some cate-gories, very few votes separated winners, runners-up and those that didn’t place.

A few thoughts:• The Refectory, a veritable giant in the Fine Din-

ing category, was knocked clean off its perch thisyear. Lindey’s and M at Miranova tied for first place,with Hyde Park taking runner up honors.

• Piada, the nascent purveyor of Italian street food,claimed Best New Restaurant honors. Powell hotdog stand Two Mad Dogs was named runner-up.

• Five Guys Burgers and Fries, a relatively newbut popular choice for central Ohio diners, took theBest Burgers category, edging out local favoriteThurman Café, which was runner-up.

The BeatArts, eats and fun in central Ohio

Every time I encounter theword “staycation,” I cringe a lit-tle. It’s an oxymoronic and cornyphrase that celebrates the com-monplace, elevates a modest ex-perience to the level of memo-rable getaway.

And yet.See, I really like dining anony-

mously in smallish nearby cities.With minimal investment in timeor money, it’s a refreshing breakfrom everyday routines. And ifthe food holds up its end of thebargain, well, the scenic drivehome will be accompanied bywistful smiles.

I basically just described mypleasurable visits to the quaintand pretty city of Delaware anddinners at 1808 American Bistro.Occupying a vintage brick build-ing across the street from the his-toric Strand Theater and namedafter the year of Delaware’sfounding, 1808 honors the area’sproud past, yet is a thoroughly

modern establishment.Overseen by Chef Ben Gra-

ham of Burgundy Room and 8fame, 1808 seamlessly incorpo-rates captivating 19th-centuryphotographs of Delaware and ahostess stand fashioned from anold-time radio with plenty of con-temporary touches.

On the contemporary front,there’s a dramatically underlitand upward-thrusting swath ofgolden reeds showcased in themain dining room; a handsome,multi-toned and highly polishedwooden bar with 29 taps of top-notch suds; and lots of sharp con-trasts from juxtaposing starkbasic black with warm blondwoods.

After snagging a microbrew(half-price at happy hour and all

day Monday) it’s time to turn tothe large one-page menu (and itslittle specials supplement), which

is filled with stylishcomfort food. Twopopular 21st-centu-ry starters — aranci-ni and pimentocheese dip — coa-lesce into one appe-tizer called Pimentoand Cheddar Fritters($8). It’s a quintet ofcrusty, golden brownglobes holdingsharp-tasting, gooeyinnards that I defyyou not to like.

Ditto for the richand delicious BLTSalad ($12). Hardlyspa cuisine, this vi-sually impressivething featured bigslabs of meaty, slow-roasted pork bellyplus a wiggly

poached egg. Break the yolk andlet it blend with a tangy GreenGoddess dressing. Find coun-

terpoints in crispy homemadecroutons and acidic cherry toma-toes.

Too bad an otherwise won-derful meatball, elaborately madewith prime beef ($8), wasn’t thor-oughly warmed through. Firmbut not tough, this seared, soft-ball-sized killer had good Ital-ian sausage flavor, a terrific,chunky tomato sauce and camewith excellent crostini for sop-ping up.

Meat and potato lovers needlook no further than the splen-did 48-Hour Short Ribs ($19). Ablock of crazy-tender cookedbeef was partnered with a deep,dark demi glace, semi-pureedspuds and good haricots verts.

The upscale yet down-homeButtermilk Fried Chicken ($19)starred a plate-spanning paillardof poultry in a crackly jacket. La-dled on top was a thick sausagegravy with a hint of rosemary;on the side were tender spears

of buttery grilled asparagus andthose nifty house mashers.

Chicken and noodles got amakeover in the addictive But-tered Noodles ($16). Here, con-fited chicken played nice withherbed pappardelle, spinach,shaved parmesan, mushroomsand a tub of butter.

Lighter but still delightful wasthe Grilled Mahi Mahi ($17).Big, flaky fish steaks were servedon smoky chipotle-saucedtostadas and accompanied by richguacamole and first-rate rice andbeans.

Eating grub like that, visitingbeautifully preserved old Dela-ware, and a drive home filledwith country air and forest set-tings was like taking a trip with-out really leaving home.

WHAT’S WITH ALL THE NOISE?If you had to get on your knees to wash floors day after day, do you think that you might start wearing

knee pads for protection at some point? The same sort of question may be asked of anyone who iscontinuously exposed to loud noise at home or at work. The fact is that accumulated exposure to loudnoise caused by vehicles, machines, and other sources causes damage to the “hair cells” in the innerear that transmit nerve impulses to the brain. As a result of exposure to loud noise, approximately 15percent of Americans between ages 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss that makes it difficultto understand conversation.

Pediatric HealthSourceWeight-loss surgery isn’t for everyone

Weight-loss surgery, also known as bariatricsurgery, is not for all overweight people.

It offers an option for individuals who are atleast 100 pounds above their ideal body weightand, who have not been able to achieve signif-icant weight loss through dieting and exercisealone, and who suffer from significant obesity-related illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes,sleep apnea, liver disease, etc.

There are a several types of weight-loss sur-geries available in the United States. Severaloptions currently offered at Nationwide Chil-dren’s Hospital include gastric bypass, gastricsleeve and adjustable gastric band.

With gastric bypass surgery, a small pouch iscreated by stapling closed the top portion of thestomach, which is then connected to the smallintestine. Food will travel down your throat andenter this small pouch. The volume of food ittakes to fill the pouch is very small (approxi-mately one ounce), which makes you feel fullquickly. The food then travels directly into yourintestine from the pouch, resulting in a reducedability of the body to absorb calories.

Gastric sleeve surgery results in a similar ef-fect by removing approximately 80 percent ofthe stomach.

The resulting tubular, or sleeve-like stom-ach accommodates a smaller amount offood, which results in excellent weight loss.

Laparoscopic adjustable band surgery is cur-rently only available to patients 18 years of ageand older because of age restrictions set by theUnited States Food and Drug Administration

(FDA). During laparoscopicadjustable band surgery, aspecial band is placed aroundthe top of the stomach, whichdecreases the amount of foodyour stomach can hold. Aswith the other procedures, abariatric-specific healthy dietmust be followed in order tomaximize weight loss.

Bariatric surgery is one partof the equation for success. In order to achieveoptimal weight loss following surgery, it is veryimportant to maintain a healthy lifestyle, in-cluding physical activity and appropriate foodchoices.

Leading up to bariatric surgery, a com-plete medical evaluation is required. This in-cludes a physical exam and nutritional evalua-tion. Patients must have regular visits follow-ing surgery in order to monitor nutritional sta-tus and avoid complications.

Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers freemonthly sessions that provide an overview ofthe three types of weight-loss surgery availablefor teens, as well as the benefits, risks, advan-tages and disadvantages of each. The next ses-sions are scheduled for Aug. 30 and Sept. 6.

Dr. Marc Michalsky is surgical director of theCenter for Healthy Weight and Nutrition at Na-tionwide Children’s Hospital and an assistantprofessor of clinical surgery at The Ohio StateUniversity College of Medicine.
