Officials anticipate city status in 2011 By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers The biggest challenges for Canal Winchester in 2011 will be a change in status from village to city, several large infrastructure projects and the poor economy, village officials say. Finance director Nanisa Osborn previously stated she’s not sure when Canal Winchester will attain city status but anticipates it will be around the first of April. The village has to wait for the United States Census Bureau to release its statistics to the Ohio Secretary of State, who will make a determination and notify the village. As a city, Canal Winchester can no longer be a

member of a general health district and must provide health services to its residents by its own means. The Franklin County Board of Health was selected to provide health services to the community. Osborn said Canal Winchester will have to finalize its contract with the board of health. The fee will be $5.73 per capita with the final cost based on the population when the village becomes a city, she said. As part of the change to city status Canal Winchester must also update its job descriptions. “We are still working through the process,” Osborn said. “We will be finished some time in January.”

Resident’s carport unlikely to be approved

Council TAY FOR TWO allows use of vinyl siding After months of discussion and appearances before both village council and the planning and zoning commission, Canal Winchester resident John Bakitis will be allowed to use vinyl siding and build an addition on his home at 79 N. Trine St. in the downtown Historic Preservation area. Canal Winchester Village Council heard a second appeal from Bakitis at its Dec. 20 meeting. Members voted on two separate motions Monday, Jan. 3 – one for the vinyl siding and one for the addition – and approved both. Council’s vote overturns rejections by the planning and zoning commission, in August and October. Zoning officer Andrew Dutton previously said preservation guidelines highlight three factors to consider when changing from wood to vinyl siding: whether the wood siding will hold paint, the character of the building and cost to maintain the paint versus siding. A finding of fact report issued by the village staff found that Bakitis did “meet his burden of proof under the preservation guidelines as to the replacement of existing wood siding with vinyl siding because changing Mr. Bakitis’home … will be in character with other homes in close proximity to the applicant’s home that also have vinyl siding, i.e., the character of the Preservation Area is not adversely affected by replacement of wood siding on this particular building with vinyl siding.”

constructed would be the end of August but in order to make that happen, a site plan needs to be brought to the planning commission’s Jan. 10 meeting. Planning commission member Dan Konold said in December his vote for approving the sign variance would depend on the identity of the retailer. “If it was a tenant like Old Navy, I’m OK with that,” he said.

Mayor Michael Ebert said as part of the process he would like to hire a part-time human resources director in the second quarter to assist Osborn and public works director Matt Peoples. The village has 31 full-time and three part-time employees throughout most of the year. In the summer, 40 seasonal employees are added to the roster. “We could use help in a lot of areas,” Osborn said. Infrastructure will be a big issue in 2011 as construction begins on the first phase of Gender Road improvements. Canal Winchester received a $2milliion Ohio Public Works Commission grant for the project, which includes work at the Gender See OFFICIALS, page A2

It doesn’t seem likely that Wendell Collier will be granted variances for a carport and gravel driveway at his home at 180 W. Waterloo St. Canal Winchester Village Council held a public hearing Jan. 3 to hear comments on an appeal filed by Collier, whose home is located in the village’s designated Preservation Area. The Canal Winchester Planning and Zoning Commission has denied Collier’s request for variances to allow an accessory structure without a principal structure, a gravel driveway, accessory structures within sideyard setbacks and multiple accessory structures on a single property. He also requested permission to erect two metal carports. The original application was heard by the planning commission on Oct. 11, at which time the commission denied the variances and the carports. Collier appealed the decision to council but prior to the public hearing, he removed the larger of the two carports from his property so the application was referred back to the planning commission. Village zoning officer Andrew Dutton said Collier wants to build a 225-square-foot carport on the southeast side of his property and a gravel driveway. Materials for an accessory structure must complement the primary structure; in Collier’s case, this would be vinyl siding and asphalt shingles. Council member James Wynkoop asked if the gravel path could be considered decorative rather than a driveway. Dutton said Collier drives and parks on the gravel so it would be considered a driveway. Planning commission member Jim Knowlton said the village’s zoning code does not allow gravel to be used for an access drive. “This just does not mesh with the codes that are in place at the moment,” Knowlton said. “It doesn’t have siding. It doesn’t have walls. It doesn’t conform with the architecture that is there. Those are the reasons planning and zoning denied the variances.” Collier said he started keeping a trailer behind a fence on his property about a year ago. He used to keep the trailer in his driveway but he installed a gate to get the trailer inside the fence after being advised by the village he couldn’t keep the trailer in the driveway. “I don’t use (the path) as a driveway other than to access the gate for backing out,” he said, adding the stone is exactly the same stone used by Canal Winchester around the bushes and flowers in the median on Gender Road. “It looks cleaner and neater than the mud that was there,” he said. Collier said he wants a carport to protect the trailer because young people were dropping rocks on it from the railroad tracks. In addition, he said, the trailer was sustaining damage from a large tree on the property. Prior to having the carport installed, he said he checked with the company to see if a permit was needed and was told no because the carport is a portable structure. Council member Marilyn Rush-Ekelberry asked if Collier’s intent is to leave the carport on the property indefinitely. He said eventually he would like to add on to his garage to accommodate the trailer but can’t afford to do so now. “I wanted something that would still look nice for the area,” he said. “I’m doing everything I can to See CARPORT, page A3

Three sanitary sewer projects will also take place at the same time. The village received a $1.5milion loan from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to complete the work, which includes eliminating inflow and infiltration; replacing worn equipment at the water reclamation plant and installing a new, fourinch water main for Winchester Village. Design work will begin on phase two of Gender Road improvements this year. Village officials learned on Dec. 20 that Canal Winchester will receive an OPWC grant for roughly $2-million for the project, which will increase the number of lanes on Gender Road and add a center turn lane. “We received the unofficial word,” Osborn said. “There will be nothing official for awhile. Design will take awhile.” She said actual construction on phase two must take place in 2012. Ebert said the Gender Road work will have a huge impact on traffic but traffic flow will be a lot better once the project is complete. The downtown zoning commission will continue to meet in 2011, Ebert said. The group began meeting in 2010 to help clear up some ambiguity in the village’s approval process for projects in the downtown area. “The commission will continue to meet next year and go over the code, fine-tune things, make things easier to understand,” he

said. “We thought it would take three to four months. That is not going to happen. There is a lot of detail there.” Village officials will continue to monitor the economy, but Osborn said they don’t expect to see much improvement. City employees will receive a 2.5-percent pay increase this year. The last time employees received a raise was 2008, Osborn said. “We will continue to watch our spending,” she said. Ohio communities should expect to see a decrease in local government funding, village officials said, thanks to an anticipated state budget shortage that could be as high as $8-billion. Canal Winchester usually receives between $100,000 and $150,000 in local government funding annually, but Osborn said that is one

area that could be affected. “They have rattled that saber before,” she said. Even so, Ebert said the decrease in funding won’t affect Canal Winchester as badly as other communities such as Columbus, which receives $23-million in local government funds. Osborn said communities will receive some money before June 30 because fiscal year 2012 doesn’t start until July 1. Osborn said the village’s biggest source of income is its income tax. The rate will remain at 2 percent, even though Columbus voters approved a 2.5 percent income tax. “Our rate will still be 2 percent,” she said. “We will not change even though Columbus changed.” Finally, the village will work with Staples to develop a 14,763square-foot building on Winchester Boulevard west of Walmart. In December, the village received an application including a site development and variance request from Waterloo Crossing Ltd. The planning commission is set to hear the request on Jan. 10. “It is good for the village,” Osborn said. “We do business with Staples. They deliver to us right now.” tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Continued from page A1 The finding of fact report encouraged Bakitis to work with the staff to identify a type of vinyl siding that is appropriate for historic districts and in character with the existing wood siding on his home. Council members voted 5-1 to allow the vinyl siding with member Rick Deeds casting the only negative vote. Council member Leah Turner was excused from the meeting due to illness. Council voted unanimously to allow the addition. The findings of fact report said Bakitis also met the burden of proof under the guidelines for the two-story addition with vinyl siding and windows, given that he agreed to make

several modifications to ensure that the concerns of the Preservation District guidelines are addressed. “There are conditions that were discussed at the last meeting with respect to the roof on the addition, the windows on the addition and some roof issues,” law director Gene Hollins said. The findings of fact report requires the roof to be gable instead of shed and windows to be the same dimensions and type as the windows being replaced on the original building. In other council business, Hollins announced that NRP Group of Cleveland and Wagenbrenner Development of Columbus terminated their option to pur-

chase the former Davis Paints site to construct a three-story, 46-unit apartment building. At the Dec. 20 council meeting, council unanimously approved an appeal filed by residents to stop the low-income senior housing project. Members of a citizens group called CW Residents for Responsible Growth appealed the variance which would have allowed a structure taller than 40 feet to be built in the Historic District. “There were some concerns amongst residents that they would bring forth a proposal in some other form,” Hollins said. “We can put that issue to rest. They are not interested in moving forward on that site with that proposal.”

Burd named deputy director of county elections board By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Reynoldsburg City Council member Nathan Burd will become deputy director of the Franklin County Board of Elections on Friday, Jan. 7, succeeding fellow Republican Matthew Damschroder. Damschroder has served as deputy director since March 2008. He resigned to become deputy assistant in the office of incoming Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted. The Franklin County Board of Elections consists of two Democrats and two Republicans appointed by the secretary of state to staggered four-year terms. The board oversees all facets of election laws in Franklin County. Burd, 33, was elected to Reynoldsburg City Council in November 2009. He currently serves as executive director of the Franklin County Republican Party, which will have to appoint someone to replace him in that position. He will be working with board of elections director William Anthony Jr. to oversee one of the 25 largest elections jurisdictions in the country. The Franklin County Board of Elections serves about 819,000 voters. Burd, who was chosen from amont 25 candidates, will be paid

$111,592 a year as deputy director, the same salary as Anthony. He said he fully intends to fulfill his term on Reynoldsburg’s City Council, which won’t end until 2013. “If I am in this position three years, then I will not be able to run for re-election because the Ohio Revised Code says someone in this position can’t run for public office,” Burd said of his appointment. Because he already holds a public office, he can continue to do so, he said. “I just won’t be able to be on the ballot again,” he said. “My term doesn’t end until 2013 and if I am still in this job by that time, I will not be able to seek re-election to city council.” Burd said he will remain in the deputy director’s post “as long as it makes sense,” especially after being reassured he could serve out the rest of his city council term. “Franklin County is one of the largest voting jurisdictions in the country … and for someone like me, elections are important,” he said when asked why he applied for the elections board position. “I’ve run for office before and worked for my political party … it’s all about election day and getting people into office and really, there’s not many things more important than making sure that

our elections are fair and properly managed. “That is exactly what this position allows me to do … we have a staff downtown of over 40 full-time employees and so there’s an opportunity to work with a lot of like-minded people.” “It’s also an interesting dynamic that it is a bipartisan office,” he said. “We have Republicans and Democrats all working together to make sure elections run smoothly, so it‘s kind of a natural fit for me.” Born and raised in Licking County, Burd has lived in Reynoldsburg for the past eight years with his wife, Jolene. He earned a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the Ohio State University in 2000 and served on the Franklin County Republican Central Committee in Reynoldsburg’s Ward 4 for from 2006 to 2007. “I’ve been actively involved for a long time and certainly would not have dreamed that an opportunity like this was going to come along so quickly,” Burd said. “I’m very thankful and certainly looking forward to getting started next week.” dowens@thisweeknews.com

CARPORT Continued from page A1 keep the place looking nice and neat. I made lots of improvements.” Council member Bobbie Mershon acknowledged that his property looks a lot nicer than it has in the past. She asked who had advised him not to get a permit. He said the building supply company said he would not need one and noted that he has already lost money on the project by having the larger of the two carports removed. Council member Steve Donahue said he wished he could support the variance requests, but they are not in line with the village code. Mershon said she could not support the variance request but understood Collier’s financial dilemma. She said she would be willing to give him time to remove the carport. “I want to be reasonable about it and give you plenty of time to do something else,” she said. “I’m really sorry you went and got the wrong information but we, as a village, can’t be responsible for that.” Wynkoop said he agreed with Mershon and would be willing to give Collier six to eight months to remove the metal carport from the property.

and Juliet” in the afternoon or “Richard III” in the evening. Most of the theatres, church services and other public gatherings let out around 11 p.m. and people began to fill the streets around Statehouse Square. They were coming out this early because the biggest difference between 1910 and 2010 is that the celebration of the New Year began at 11:30 p.m. rather than midnight. At 11:30, church bells began to chime, fireworks were ignited and a general celebration began. It began at 11:30 because some people still refused to follow the standard time established by the railroads many years earlier. These people still followed “sun time” and to them, midnight came 30 minutes earlier. At 12 a.m. Standard Time, the railroad locomotives at Union Station joined the celebration with blasts from their whistles and the party continued. After all of this celebrating, many of the happy residents of the city went home, enjoyed a dish of Busy Bee Neapolitan ice cream and went to bed with the confident belief that 1911 would be a good year. And as we now know, for the most part, they were absolutely right. Happy New Year. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

present in Columbus since the 1890s. Over the years, nickelodeon parlors had given way to silent film presentations in larger rooms. But to most people, going to the theatre still meant a trip to a place where real people performed on stage. In Columbus in 1910, one could choose from a variety of theatre presentations on New Year’s Eve. The High Street Theatre featured “Harry Clay Blaney in his new American play ‘The Boy from Wall Street,’ an American play that is proving to be one of the greatest comedies ever staged.” Not to be outdone, B. F. Keith’s Theatre offered a play, “When Pat was King,” and vaudeville acts including “the Four Onetti Sisters, the Three Leighton Boys, and Irene Romaine — the dainty pianologist.” If one were still seeking amusement after all of this, Keith’s also offered motion pictures. For the more traditional culture crowd, the place to visit was the Colonial Theatre. Taking advantage of technology, the Colonial offered to take ticket orders by telephone and follow up with “motorcycle ticket delivery.” The tickets in question offered admission to performances by “Mr. Mantell and his distinguished company” of Shakespearean actors. On New Year’s Eve, one could see “Romeo

As Columbus and central Ohio moved toward the end of 2010, the area counted itself fortunate that it had missed the great storms that brought freeze warnings to the citrus-growing South and more than a foot of snow to much of the north. All of this bad news about bad weather is sure to remind us how lucky we are to miss ED such things. LENTZ Well … at least most of the time. Central Ohio has been relatively free of snow in the past few weeks. But some of us may remember that last winter brought us a lot of snow — after the first of the year. Such was the case in Columbus 100 years ago, as well. As 1910 became 1911, a large blast of cold air accompanied by snow, wind and other wintry things was heading straight for the Midwest. Fortunately, it did not arrive until a couple of days after New Year’s Eve. So, as it had so many times in the past, the party went on. New Year’s Eve in Columbus in 1910 would instantly be recognizable in some ways to a visitor from our own time. There were a lot of happy people on the streets of downtown Columbus at the very late hour of 11 p.m. Some of them, having stopped at a party or two, were probably a little happier than others. But there were differences as well. Columbus in 1910 was a “streetcar city” whose newly developed suburbs in every direction were linked to the central business district by electrified streetcars. It was to the downtown that people came to work, to worship, to shop and to amuse themselves. It was in downtown Columbus that one would find the best stores, the best restaurants and most of the city’s theatres. And almost all of these places were open on New Year’s Eve. The Busy Bee confectionery store was selling several kinds of candy and ice cream. These included Salted Jordan Almonds, Crème de Menthe Marshmallows and New Year’s Neapolitan ice cream. This was described in one newspaper as “a blending of Cherry Glace, Oriental Ice and Belmont Cream. You will not find a richer or more satisfactory ice cream dessert: per quart, 60 cents.” After dinner at a local restaurant or a bit of ice cream at the Busy Bee, some residents passed the evening of the last day of the year at a local theatre. Some form of motion picture theatre had been

Canal Winchester Roundup

Medina results please wrestling coach By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Canal Winchester High School wrestling coach Trent Brooks knew that his team wasn’t going to place well in the Medina Invitational Tournament, held Dec. 28-29, after learning that two of his top wrestlers weren’t healthy enough to compete. Junior Joe Boswell, who has a 13-2 record while competing at 130, 135 and 140 pounds, and junior Dalton Tullius, who has a 9-5 mark at the same three weight classes, weren’t able to compete at Medina because of strep throat. Nevertheless, the Indians managed to score 39.5 points to finish 28th in the 41-squad event behind champion Lakewood St. Edward (288). “For who we had wrestling there, I was proud of our team and most of our results, because this is one of the toughest tournaments in the state,” Brooks said. “We had some individuals wrestle really well there, and this tournament was a good wake-up call for the other kids.” Brady Hutchins continued his strong senior season by going 5-2. He placed fifth at 125 and improved to 19-3 overall. He had mixed feelings about his performance after placing sixth at Medina last season and finishing seventh in 2008. “I was looking to make it to the final this year and I’m disappointed that I didn’t do as well as I wanted, but I’m happy with myself, too, because both of my losses were close and could’ve gone either way,” Hutchins said. “This shows that I’m right there with the best in the state and that I can beat that kind of competition if I can keep getting better.” In his opening match, Hutchins pinned Dublin Coffman’s Anthony Alexander in 3 minutes, 2 seconds, before pinning Olmsted Falls’ L.J. Yurick in 3:14 in the second round. Hutchins lost to Strongsville’s Kevin Scholtz 5-3 in overtime in a quarterfinal, but bounced back to pin Hilliard Darby’s Jake Donnatelli in 2:33 and beat Massillon Tuslaw’s Dion Perez 183 before losing to Mason’s Jorge Gonzalez 6-3. Hutchins then defeated Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy’s Josh Decatur 31 in the fifth-place match. Hutchins has 125 victories and 88 pins in his varsity career. “I need 12 pins to get to 100 for my career, and that’s something I’m shooting for because it would be special,” Hutchins said. Senior Nathan Pressley went 3-3 to place eighth at heavyweight after he was able to make weight for the first time this season. “These were Nathan’s first

We should have Joe and Dalton back in our lineup, so we should fare much better in future tournaments.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

2010: The Year In Review

Off-field tragedy, stunning upsets among top stories From staff reports As we begin 2011, we take a look back at the highs and lows of central Ohio high school sports for 2010. There was tragic news off the field, as Rico Butler, who helped the Hilliard Davidson football team win the Division I state championship in 2009, drowned in a quarry. There were stunning upsets, including the Northland boys basketball team, which lost to Gahanna 71-45 in a Division I regional final despite being ranked No. 1 in the country and the defending state champion. And there was triumph on the football field, as two members of the CCL, Hartley and Watterson, captured state championships. Here’s how the year stacked up through the eyes of the sports staff at ThisWeek Community Newspapers. We hope you enjoy the look back at 2010 as much as we did. TWICE AS NICE: The CCL has only five teams in football but produced two state champions in Hartley and Watterson. Hartley, led by running back Noah Key, defeated Chagrin Falls 34-13 in the Division IV state final on Dec. 3 at

Massillon’s Paul Brown Tiger Stadium to finish 13-2 and capture its first state championship since 1986. Watterson overcame six turnovers to beat Akron Buchtel 13-12 in the Division III state final on Dec. 4 at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium to finish 13-1 and win its first state title since 2002. Key, the Division IV Player of the Year who rushed for 2,755 yards (8.8 yards per carry) and 40 touchdowns, rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries against Chagrin Falls, which finished 13-2. Omar Lane also had a big game, rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown on six carries. The Hawks went 5-for-5 on fourth down, recovered an onside kick and held Chagrin Falls to 159 total yards. “I don’t know if there were a ton of people who picked us to win the game,” Hawks coach Brad Burchfield said. “We taped all the pundits saying that Chagrin Falls is going to win the game and played it for the kids (the night before the state final). We’re happy to take that underdog role.” Watterson, which won its final 10 games, held Buchtel to 204 total yards but was not able to pull away from the Griffins because of turnovers. The Ea-

onds left. On their ensuing possession, the Griffins drove from their own 23yard line to the Watterson 6, only to be stopped on fourth-and-1. Buchtel, which finished 11-4, got the ball back three plays later on the Watterson 21 as the result of an Eagles fumble. However, on second-and-15 from the Eagles’ 26, Jared Simpson sacked Griffins quarterback Stephen Parker for a loss of 12 yards and Brad McCurdy intercepted Parker on the next play to help seal the victory. “These guys know as well as I do how great of an accomplishment this season was,” Eagles coach Dan Bjelac said. “There were a number of behindthe-scenes things that happened. This team found ways to get it done all year.” Linebacker Matt Redfield was the By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek state’s co-Defensive Player of the Year and district Defensive Player of the No. 1: Watterson’s T.J.

2010: THE YEAR IN REVIEW Continued from page B1 to defend their respective state championships, or even return to the state tournament. Northland lost to Gahanna 7145 in a regional final on March 20 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum. The loss snapped a 37-game winning streak for the Vikings, who finished 23-1. Gahanna’s four-guard offense helped it shoot 23-for-38 from the floor, with Stevie Taylor and Rob Brandenberg (19 points apiece) leading the way. The Lions advanced to state for the first time, where they lost to eventual champion Massillon Jackson 62-50 in a semifinal on March 26 to finish 26-1. “As time goes on, people will remember our Northland game more than playing in front of 15,000 people at the Schott,” said Lions coach Tony Staib, whose team was ranked second in the final state poll behind Northland. “It was a team everybody said that couldn’t be beat. The way we beat them, it was one of those magical games that puts an exclamation point on the season for these guys.” Jared Sullinger, now playing for Ohio State, had 24 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Vikings, who lost despite outrebounding Gahanna 36-18. Northland, which had beaten Cincinnati Princeton 60-58 in the 2009 state final, spent several weeks as the No. 1-ranked team in the country, according to most national polls. Among the Vikings’ victories were a 53-52 win over Henderson (Nev.) Findlay Prep on Dec. 17, 2009, and a 47-46 win over Mouth of Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill Academy on Jan. 16. Both of those games were televised on ESPN. Ranked first for most of the season in the ESPN/Rise poll, the Gahanna boys soccer team lost to Olentangy Orange 2-1 in double overtime in a Division I regional final on Nov. 6, marking its only loss in its last 44 games. The Lions had beaten Orange 3-0 on Sept. 9 and had outscored their opponents 96-9. The Pioneers lost to Centerville 2-1 in a state semifinal on Nov. 9. Gahanna finished 19-1-1, with its only other blemish being a 1-all tie against Massillon Jackson on Oct. 2. Orange’s Colton Bloecher scored the winning goal against the Lions with 4:24 left in the second overtime. “It’s shocking,” said Gahanna senior forward Chris Davis, who scored with 3 seconds left in the first half to give the Lions a 1-0 halftime lead. “We were so determined to win. It’s devastating. I didn’t expect this at all. I thought we were going to win and go to the state semis.” OV E R C O M I N G TRAGEDY: The Hilliard Davidson football

2010: More top stories Below are the rest of the top 25 stories from ThisWeek Sports in 2010. For more details on each story, please visit ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

No. 7: Upper Arlington girls swimming and diving team earn sixth consecutive Division I state title. No. 8: Lakewood softball team captures third consecutive state title.

team fell short in its quest to repeat as Division I state champion, finishing 13-1 after losing to Huber Heights Wayne 28-14 in a state semifinal on Nov. 27. Still, it was another successful season for the Wildcats, especially when taking into consideration that the Davidson football family was dealt a major blow when running back Rico Butler drowned May 25 while swimming with friends in a quarry. Butler would have been a senior this year. “I think everyone would have taken a 13-1 season,” said coach Brian White, whose team won its 11th OCC championship by finishing 7-0 in the OCC-Central Division. “Coming into this year, we weren’t exactly sure how everything was going to pan out and what the kids’ reaction to losing Rico was going to be. There were a multitude of questions about things coming into this year.” The Wildcats dedicated their season to Butler by wearing a sticker with the No. 5 — Butler’s jersey number — on their helmets. “They certainly didn’t forget about Rico all year long,” White said. “They kept him in the back of their minds all year long, but fortunately it was kind of in the back of their minds. They used it as just enough motivation to get themselves prepared to play, but at the same time, Mr. Butler (Rico’s dad, Rico Sr.) even said back last spring when Rico’s accident happened that he didn’t want the kids going out and playing this year for Rico. He wanted them to play for themselves and they did a little bit of a combination of both, and it worked out well for them.”

No. 15: Cousins Ashley Thai and Lauren Thai of Hilliard Bradley win doubles title in Division II state girls tennis. No. 16: Upper Arlington and Dublin Jerome capture state titles in boys lacrosse. No. 17: A year after area boys soccer teams swept all three state championships, no central Ohio team wins a title.

No. 21: Hilliard Davidson baseball team upsets top-seeded Grove City in Division I district tournament. No. 22: Four area Division I boys basketball teams finish the regular season undefeated. No. 23: The Dublin Coffman and Big Walnut girls volleyball teams lose in their state finals matches. No. 24: Thomas Worthington field hockey team falls short in state championship. No. 25: Childhood friends vie for NCAA men’s soccer title.

The Wildcats also experienced tragedy during the 2009 season when 16-year-old Arthur Lane was struck by a train and killed on the eve of the team’s 16-15 win over Cleveland Glenville in the state final. NATIONAL RECOGNITION ON HARDWOOD: Not only was Jared Sullinger of the Northland boys basketball team named Ohio’s Mr. Basketball for the second consecutive season after averaging 23.1 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, he was named Naismith Player of the Year, an honor bestowed on the top player in the nation. Sullinger, a 6-foot-9 forward now starting for Ohio State as a freshman, also was named McDonald’s All-American, Jordan Brand All-American and Parade magazine Player of the Year. He finished as Northland’s all-time leading scorer with 1,972 career points. Sullinger was named MVP of the McDonald’s All-American game on March 31 at Ohio State, despite having to go to a hospital the morning of the game for what was thought to be food poisoning. He scored 22 points and had seven rebounds in the East all-star team’s 107-104 loss to the West. Sullinger also participated in the Jordan Brand Classic on April 17 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Satch Sullinger, Jared’s father and Northland’s coach, was named Naismith Coach of the Year.

ing performance at the Division I state tournament, his wife, Leeanne, went into labor with the couple’s third child. Cristiano Matthew Mampieri was born about four hours before the Cardinals teed off on Oct. 23, allowing Mampieri an opportunity to meet his team at Ohio State’s Scarlet Course before the start of the second round. “He got there and gave them a pep talk before they were to tee off and then went back to the hospital for a while,” assis-

tant coach Eric Horvath said. “He told me he had a favor to ask of me, and then takes off early.” “Eric said that he felt like he was the Dennis Hopper character from the movie ‘Hoosiers.’ You know when Gene Hackman gets kicked out of the (basketball) game and hands (Hopper’s character) the scorebook and tells him he’s the coach now,” Mampieri said with a wide grin. “It wasn’t anything like that, but (Eric) did a great job.” When Mampieri returned to

the course a few hours later, St. Charles was well on its way to its second consecutive state title. The Cardinals shot a record 610, breaking the previous mark of 611 set by Cleveland St. Ignatius in 2002 and Upper Arlington in 1993, and finished well ahead of runner-up St. Ignatius (621). Senior Michael Ricaurte was tournament medalist with a 144 over 36 holes. Mampieri resigned as coach after the state tournament, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family.

No. 4: Jared Sullinger had another big season for the Northland boys basketball team, garnering Ohio’s Mr. Basketball award for the second consecutive season along with earning McDonald’s All-American and Naismith National Player of the Year honors. It was a bittersweet season, however, as Sullinger’s Vikings, the defending state champions and top-ranked team in the country, were stunned by Gahanna 71-45 in a regional final. The Lions’ upset victory, coupled with the Olentangy Orange boys soccer team’s shocking 1-0 win over defending state champion Gahanna in a regional final, was voted the No. 2 story of the year.

Oh, there are more Russian masters, and the CSO has two more of these programs slated over the next few weeks, so folks will get to hear more Tchaikovsky but also Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff and The Beat’s favorite, Shostakovich. Tickets for the Jan. 7-8 programs are $66.50-$11.50. Call (614) 228-8600.

Dawn Landes

The Beat: Both of your parents were pianists? Seems like you would either embrace this or run away from it! Talk about their influence on you as a young person and still today as a professional musician. Martina Filjak: My parents were both amazing, although my father unfortunately died when I was very young. Growing up in a musical family was an absolute privilege. I cannot even really recall the first time my baby fingers went over the keyboard, but certainly I was still a toddler. I have been incredibly attracted to music and to the piano in the same time. I recall I was able to read music in the same time I was starting to be able to read and write. TB:You also faced challenges from a standpoint of social/political upheaval in your country when you were young. Can you share how that may have shaped you as a person and an artist? MF: I indeed have experienced and grew up amidst the entire huge, historical change that has significantly changed the circumstances of the early 90s in entire Eastern Europe — and I have also experienced several years of war in my home country. It is impossible to not be somehow touched or marked by those events on a strong personal level. Those memories are in the same time very public and very intimate. I say public because on one hand you see it in newspapers and on TV, and on the other hand private, since you experi-

ence yourself these traumatic events that are often touching very hidden parts of (one’s) self. Naturally, it has given my personality a certain edge — perhaps, an edge is something that an artist could use at times? I certainly hope so. TB: In Columbus, you’ll be playing Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G. Can you talk about this piece? MF: This concerto is a special piece for me. I learned it listening to it for weeks while I was about 12 years old. I was recovering from a traffic accident and wasn’t allowed to read, play or be exposed to a too strong light after the concussion I suffered. So back then, the Ravel concerto was my saviour. After I recovered I had to beg my teacher to let me play it - she wouldn’t at first as she said I was too young. But I learned it anyway. TB:You are very expressive while you play. Are you aware of this?

MF: Thank you. I believe this is one of my goals - when I play I really do attempt to express and give the absolute maximum. TB: As a young “classical” artist, do you feel a responsibility to bring this music to young audiences? MF: I would say, I try to bring music to all possible audiences, not necessarily only the young ones. I have a feeling that, since the appreciation of classical music comes with a certain ‘age and social status,’or at least it is commonly believed to be like that, this idea in the same time scares potential audiences off. But I also have a feeling that classical music is making a ‘comeback’ - maybe people are starting to get intrigued to know more about music that was able to survive through centuries?
