Company interested in town center By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers A Central Ohio biotechnology company may soon relocate to Grove City’s town center. The company sent a letter of intent to the Grove City Town Center group indicating its interest in a 20,000-squarefoot building, said Karen Dover, a member of the Grove City Town Center board of directors. She declined to identify the company. “We’re very excited,” Dover said. “They’re an expanding business and
they’re very excited to look at the possibility of locating here in the town center.” Dover said the company hopes to take advantage of the Town Center Loan Program. “We’ve had several visits with them and we’ve been able to see first-hand what they do, and this would just be a tremendous addition to Grove City,” she said. The Grove City Town Center organization aims to assist the company however it can as part of its ongoing efforts to draw businesses to the area, Dover
said. “As part of what we’re doing, we’re marketing the incentives that are available in this area,” she said. “We have to try and bring new businesses down here.” The company is just one of many the town center group has worked with in the past year. City council gave its support to the town center organization in 2010 by offering it a $75,000 grant through March 2011. Dover attended the Dec. 20 city council meeting and reported on the group’s

Business volunteers to build wheelchair ramp By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers
the first indication of any problem to upper level administration, the city has said. Previous notices sent to Kincade, who handles the payroll taxes, were not passed on to finance director Mike Turner or other city officials, mayor Richard “Ike” Stage said at a special council meeting held Dec. 30 to discuss the matter. City finance director Mike Turner told council all incoming tax-related documents either from the IRS or from the state department of taxation now will be sent directly to him. Council members directed Smith to have the auditor’s report sent directly to council, rather than the city administration.
The efforts of some co-workers and a local business will result in a ramp at the home of a local teen who uses a wheelchair. Jake Riley has spina bifida and attends Jackson Middle School. When he was younger, the lack of a wheelchair ramp posed no problem because his mother, Debbie We started Riley, could thinking, well, maybe carry him into the house. Now we could do somethat he’s 13 and thing, so everyone in much larger, our office said we’ll all the need for a ramp has bepitch in and we’ll do come pressing. this for Jake. “I carry him out of the back TAMI MALKOWSKI of the house —Office manager, and I have a South West Pediatrics, Inc. couple steps down, and then I have to walk around the back of the house to the driveway,” his mother said. A few months ago, she fell and tore her meniscus, which required surgery to repair. Riley is a medical technician at South West Pediatrics Inc. on Gantz Road, and Jake is a patient there. Debbie Riley’s co-workers decided to see what could be done to get a ramp built. “We started thinking, well, maybe we could do something, so everyone in our office said we’ll all pitch in and we’ll do this for Jake,” said Tami Malkowski, office manager. Malkowski and Dr. Bradley Dixon visited the Grove City Home Depot to learn what type of supplies they would need and to see if the store would give them perhaps discount on the materials. They were astonished when store manager Joe Cruz offered to not only donate all the materials, but have his employees build the ramp free of charge. “We walked in hoping that maybe they would give us 10 percent off the lumber and walked out with they’re going to do it all,” Malkowski said. Cruz said the ramp isn’t the type of project that Home Depot usually takes on, but with approval from district manager Stephanie Ours and the agreement of the staff, he was happy to help. “Part of our core values as a company is giving back to the community,” Cruz said. “We have a ‘Team Depot’ program that each store runs for their own individual community.” Home Depot is finishing its plans for the ramp and securing discounts on materials from its vendors. After those steps are complete, it will take the plans before Grove City to get the necessary

City’s tax debt exceeds $1M By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The discovery of unpaid state taxes, added to a growing list of unpaid federal taxes, has pushed Grove City’s total tax debt to more than $1-million. City council discussed its taxdebt problem in detail during a special meeting Dec. 30. The Internal Revenue Service last month told the city it owed about $685,905 in unpaid taxes. During the Dec. 30 meeting, city officials said unpaid quarterly tax returns have been identified, adding about $370,000 to the federal debt. In addition, the city has learned it missed state tax payments totaling about $150,000. City council and most city administrators said they were unaware of the city’s tax debt until IRS officials visited the city with a 28-page document showing payments had been missed since at least 2007. City officials said previous IRS notices had been sent to assistant finance director Jackie Kincade, who handles the payroll taxes. She has been placed on paid administrative leave while city police conduct an investigation. Being placed on leave is standard procedure in these types of cases and does not indicate guilt, city law director Stephen Smith Jr. said. Kincade has denied any wrongdoing.
A closer look The city has paid $187,000 to the IRS for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $300,000 in initial payments toward previous quarters, finance director Mike Turner said. The $187,000 came out of the payroll account, but the $300,000 came out of the city’s unexpended 2010 general fund, which was projected to have a carryover of nearly $19-million.
Grove City is in talks with GBQ Consulting to perform an independent audit of the city’s books. The city also is taking steps to appeal the penalties and interest charged by the IRS. In the course of the city’s investigation into the matter, three of the five unfiled returns were found.
They’d been prepared, but never submitted. These were filed to the IRS last week. The two additional returns are being finalized and will be submitted later this week, city officials said. A Dec. 9 visit from the IRS was

In 2006, the city’s bank records didn’t match its accounting books, and city records “significant deficiencies,” according to a report by state auditor Mary Taylor’s office. Since Turner became director in 2008, the city received good marks from the state auditor.

As it were
Downtown was busy on New Year’s Eve 1910 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 such things. ED Well … at LENTZ 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 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, See AS IT WERE, page A5

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.

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 a motion picture or two. 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. ManCourtesy of Columbus Metropolitan Library - Reeb tell and his distinguished company� of Deibel Ruffing Postcard Collection Shakespearean actors.

Comets post first victory over ’Hounds By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Central Crossing High School boys basketball coach Mike Cavey called his team’s 66-59 win against Grove City on Dec. 29 a “program builder” for his squad. The Comets trailed for most of the first half but rallied to win the South-Western City Schools Winter Classic game at home. “Grove City is seen as ‘the school’ in our district and for us to be able to go out and get a win, hopefully it’s going to be really big for our program,” Cavey said. Central Crossing, which opened in 2002, beat Grove City
for the first time. The Greyhounds won the first meeting last season 92-52. Central Crossing opened the event with a 67-63 win against Franklin Heights on Dec. 27. The Comets’ two-game winning streak was snapped in a 5342 home loss to Mount Vernon on Dec. 30. Central Crossing plays again Friday at home against Thomas Worthington in an OCC-Central Division game. The teams split their meetings last season, with the Comets winning 49-46 and the Cardinals avenging the loss 57-37. Against Grove City, the Comets had four players in double figures, led by senior Clay

Luebben’s 16 points. Senior Ryan Kelley and junior Maurice Reed had 13 points apiece, and senior Jeff Davis scored 12. Davis provided a spark in the third quarter with six points. “Coach has been telling us to play as a team, not to give up and work hard because we’re a better team than the way we’ve been playing in the first and second quarters,” Davis said. Against Mount Vernon,
Luebben led the Comets with 13 points. “The guys were lethargic and lacked energy,” Cavey said. Through nine games, Kelley led the team in scoring at 11.4 points a game, followed by Luebben (11.1) and Davis (10.4). Davis was the top rebounder at 6.3 a game. “Offensively, it’s been a struggle for us all year as far as just making shots and finding some kind of rhythm,” Cavey said.
“We’ll just continue to work on offense. Defensively, I’ve been pretty pleased overall with our effort so far this year.” “We have a lot of momentum,” Davis said. “We’re really looking forward to the next couple of weeks because we’re bouncing back.” •It wasn’t just the loss to Central Crossing that upset Grove City coach Greg Waits — it was the way the Greyhounds lost the game.
Grove City failed to hold a 31-21 lead late in the first half. Seniors Jake Green and Bobby Brown led the Greyhounds with 16 and 12 points, respectively. “I don’t care who you’re playing, when you’re playing, you have to make free throws when you have the opportunities and we just didn’t,” said Waits, whose team was 12 of 26 from the free throw line. “The big See BOYS, page B2

Wrestling
Greyhounds, Comets set to open OCC schedules By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A well rested Grove City High School wrestling team opens the OCC-Ohio Division dual season today at Lancaster. The Greyhounds face host Lancaster and Reynoldsburg as they look to improve on last season’s 5-2 mark in the OCC-Ohio. That record was good for third in the league behind co-champions Gahanna and Pickerington North (6-1). North actually won each of its dual matches last season but forfeited a win over Gahanna. North lost 12 seniors from last year’s team, which could open a spot at the top of the league. “(The league title is) really what we’re shooting for,” Greyhounds coach Jay DiMasso said. “I know that Lancaster and Gahanna are pretty solid. It’s going to be how we match up. We’re
going to win some of the weight classes regardless, but we do have some young guys in our lineup that we’ll need wins from.” The Greyhounds have had considerable time to get their younger wrestlers up to speed. Grove City hasn’t competed since placing sixth (2-3) behind Marysville (5-0) at the Central Ohio Duals on Dec. 11. The Greyhounds spent the holiday break refining technique and getting rest. “It’s been a good opportunity to fix some things,” DiMasso said. “Most of our guys have 15 matches in. We have a good idea where we’re at and what to fix. The holidays are tough for all the kids and we were able to actually give them a day or so extra off and they weren’t cutting weight for a tournament.” Grove City opened the season on Dec. 4 with See WRESTLING, page B2
Ready High School freshman Bobby Smith has noticed changes in himself since he began his first prep wrestling season. A lot of the fast food he ate over the summer hasn’t been part of his diet while he has increased his focus in the weight room. The results have started to show. After winning his first two tournaments, Smith captured another championship Dec. 30 when he won at 112 pounds at the Ready Winter Classic. Combined with the title won by senior Josh Hall (119), the Silver Knights earned a Winter Classic runner-up finish for the second time in three seasons. They scored 210.5 points to finish behind Whitehall (286.5). “My conditioning has been a lot better,” Smith said. “It feels good. It’s nice to have everybody in the gym cheering for you when you get your hand raised.” Smith has a 17-0 record as his team prepares to compete Saturday at the Olentangy Orange Invitational. A wrestler since he was 6 years old who used to be part of Central Crossing’s youth program when current Ready coach Chance Van Gundy was the Comets’ coach, Smith helped Ready earn the No. 6 ranking in the Division III area coaches

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 5for-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 Cha-

GIlles (left), Matt Redfield (39), Patrick Rhomberg (4), Brad McCurdy (11), Ray Cook (35) and the rest of the Eagles celebrate after a 13-12 victory over Akron Buchtel in the Division III state championship game Dec. 4 at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium in Massillon. Fellow CCL member Hartley also won a state title, beating Chagrin Falls 34-13 in the Division IV final.
grin 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 Eagles, who had 258 yards, lost three fumbles and threw three interceptions, including one that was returned 80 yards for a touchdown. With Watterson trailing 12-6, Ray Cook scored on a 3-yard run and Tim Carter kicked the extra point to put the Eagles ahead with 10 minutes, 50 seconds left. On their ensuing possession, the Griffins drove from their own 23-yard line to the Watterson 6, only to be stopped on fourth-and-1. Buchtel, which finished 114, 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 inter-
cepted 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 behind-the-scenes things that happened. This team found ways to get it done all year.” Linebacker Matt Redfield was the state’s co-Defensive Player of the Year and district Defensive Player of the Year. STUNNING UPSETS: The Northland boys basketball team and Gahanna boys soccer team both were ranked No. 1 in the country for much of their respective seasons, but neither was able 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 Wil-
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.
son (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

thing was every loose ball in the second half, every 50-50 ball, I think they got. They got every loose ball. “Congratulations to Central Crossing, they wanted it more than the Grove City boys and that’s why they won. They were hungry and they wanted to go get a win, so hats off to them.” Central Crossing was 16 of 30 from the free throw line. The Greyhounds opened the SWCS Winter Classic with a 6447 win over Westland on Dec. 29. Green scored 15 points and sophomore Brandon Bapst had 14. Through eight games, Green led the team in scoring at 15.5 points a game, followed by Brown at 10.9. Brown led the team in rebounding at 10.5 a game. “I know we have a lot of young guys, so I was kind of expecting some growing pains a little bit, but we’re not doing too badly,” Brown said. “We’re still struggling a bit sometimes. It’s
a first-place finish at the Franklin Heights Holiday Tournament. Jose Hughes (171 pounds) and Caleb Dick (189) won titles, and Robert Coles (160) and Nick Kowaleski (152) placed second. DiMasso said the Greyhounds are looking for their upper weight classes to guide the team through the dual meet season. They are unproven at the lighter weights. “(From 103 to 145 pounds is) where we’re going to have to get some guys to capitalize on their opportunities,” DiMasso said. “From (152 pounds) up we have a lot of seniors in the lineup. Those are definitely some of our stronger weight classes.” Grove City beat Worthington Kilbourne in a dual match on Dec. 9. Both teams scored 33 points, but an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Kilbourne gave Grove City the win. •Central Crossing has shown

(103) were runners-up. Kyle Farris (130) and Ryan Hartman (135) were sixth. Hysell, who pinned Whitehall’s Ifa Abduljelil in 3 minutes, 46 seconds for the title, won each of his matches by pin. When the Comets open the OCC-Central dual season today against Thomas Worthington and Worthington Kilbourne, they’ll be seeking their first league dual win in two seasons. The Comets were 0-7 in league duals last year as Dublin Coffman (7-0) won the title. “I know that we’re going to be competitive,” coach Jamie Ramirez said. “We have a good contingent of experienced wrestlers. I’m partial, but I think our horses are better than anyone’s. If I can keep them getting wins and I can see more improvement out of our younger guys, I think we can surprise some people.”
promise in its early season events. With nine wrestlers competing at the Ready Winter Classic on Dec. 29-30, the Comets placed fifth with 161 points as Whitehall won (286.5). Gage Hysell (152) and Vince Pickett (160) won titles. Aaron jstewart@thisweeknews.com Hardy (145) and Josh Wimer www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

2010 Continued from page B2 ful 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.” 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

READY 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. SPECIAL DELIVERY: St. Charles golf coach Anthony Mampieri almost missed the crowning moment of his team’s season. On the morning of the second day of the Cardinals’ dominating 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,” assistant coach Eric Horvath said. “He told me he had a favor to

2010: More top stories
“Our schedule hasn’t really been that tough yet,” Smith said of his undefeated start. “I’ve wrestled some pretty decent kids and I feel like I’ve done well so far. (High school wrestling) is definitely a step up. The kids are a lot more physical and a lot more advanced. “I’m kind of disappointed in my ranking (in the coaches poll). (Fields) is someone I wrestled in a scrimmage earlier this year and I did pretty well against him. In my opinion, I should (finish) in the top three in the state this year, and my ultimate goal would be to get the gold.” Smith’s immediate success has helped Ready compensate for a roster that includes 15 freshmen among its 24 competitors. Hall, a state qualifier at 112 last season, is off to a 16-1 start after winning a Winter Classic title. Halko was runner-up at 171 at the Winter Classic, while senior Joe Knapp (135) and freshmen Hannibal Tate (145) and Patrik Garren (189) all were third. Senior Brandon Cooper finished fifth at 215, sophomore Brandon Burt took fifth at 140 and freshman Patrick Stover won two matches at 135. “We had a better second day than we did the first day,” Van Gundy said. “We’re going through some growing pains right now, but we ended on a positive note, which is nice. Smith is a pretty tough kid. He has a lot of wrestling experience from the youth level and is a pretty seasoned freshman. (Hall’s) only loss was in his first tournament of the season and he’s been wrestling well. We were hoping (Halko) could get to the finals. “Some of the guys are starting to get it. If we can get a lot of these kids up to par by February, we’re going to be in good shape.”

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

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?

Another Fisherman’s Wharf, more great seafood Chalk up another one for the Chalkias family — a new Fisherman’s Wharf has opened. Sailing out dishes of high-grade seafood from its Polaris-area kitchen, this Wharf is off to a brisk start. For background, the original Fisherman’s Wharf premiered on Morse Road in the mid-’70s during a drastically more provincial dining era than we’re currently enjoying. Partially drawing on the Chalkias family’s Greek heritage, it was like the restaurant that launched a thousand others. Some are still chugging along, others have long run aground, but count among that distinguished number Niki’s Deli, a Fisherman’s Wharf in Bexley, Fisherman’s Wharf Pier II, Feta in Pickerington and the Big Fat Greek Kuzina. I’ll not bother mentioning every eatery with ties to the Chalkias brood, but rest assured that if you’re a fan of Greek food in Columbus,
MENU by G.A. Benton you’ve probably patronized a Chalkias-related restaurant. So of course Grecian accents make their way into the new Fisherman’s Wharf, but as its name suggests, this place is mostly about the fish. Its nautical theme is clearly stated outside, where beneath porthole windows peeking through huge and heavy black lacquered doors, a split-in-two captain’s wheel serves as handles. Inside, off-white walls with coppery swaths set off black and blue accents. So tablecloths, menus, napkins, servers outfits and even leftovers boxes are night shaded. Fanciful blue pops up in pretty, aquarium-riffing stained glass windows. There’s also a large and at-

regular folks splurging on excellent, and pricey, seafood. As for cooking and plating styles, they’ve ranged from straightforward to considerably fancier. From the latter group, the Sesame Ahi Tuna ($12) was a fine starter. Looking like a dozen dominoes toppled in a straight row, the raw, served room temperature “tiles” of delicious sashimi-grade fish sported crunchy seared rims encrusted with white and black sesame seeds. Artful squiggles of wasabi mayo and a fragrant oil provided modernist touches — but skip the overpowering soy sauce dip. Homier but soulful was the Seafood Chowder ($4.50/cup). Actually more like a soothing potato soup laced with clams, its starchy ballast was leavened with a nicely measured tang. Saladwise, my favorite was the eye-catching, tongue-delighting

Like a gussied up Greek salad, its manifold elements (cucumber, roasted red peppers, creamy feta and much more) made for a dynamic combination. Navigating the mammoth menu for entrees can take a while. You’ll scan past delicacies like Day Boat Scallops, plump Danish scampi, killer Kodiak Alaskan Red King
Crab Legs, and luscious Maine lobster tails. Want ’em all? Then opt for the Baked Variety platter ($50, but could feed two) which rounds them up simply, perfectly cooked, dusted with seasoned breadcrumbs and presented with lakes of garlicky melted butter. For something “cheffier,” pick the terrific Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut ($26). Sauced with a sweetish orange buerre blanc, it was a huge and truly beautiful piece of succulent snow-white fish. Soft and supple, yet endowed with bells and whistles galore (berries, bananas, nutella, whipped cream, chocolate sauce), Gina’s Crepes ($12, easily serves two) were the obvious dessert star.

Abusive customers pose issues for servers, restaurateurs Bill Glover was quite fond of his appetizer: braised pork belly drizzled with jalapeno ketchup and served with creamed corn. One of his customers, who apparently had a sensitivity to spiciness, had other ideas and wasn’t shy in sharing her thoughts. “She looked at me with this real callous face and said, ‘Where do you get off putting this on the menu? My tongue is swollen and I can hardly talk.’” Glover, chef and owner of Sage American Bistro in the University District, said he apologized but the guest wouldn’t relent. He asked, in front of a room full of astonished onlookers, what he could do to make her happy. She said nothing and stormed off with her dining companion, who also had a choice expletive for the chef. So the customer’s always right? It depends on who you ask. “You always have to lean on the side of the guest is right,” Glover said. “But on the food-service side you can’t believe the things we encounter. People leave this profession because they get bitter dealing with the public.” Indeed, pleasing guests is the objective of any diligent restaurateur. Certainly, they have some legitimate complaints: a forgotten fork, cloudy wine glass or cold chicken fricassee. So how does one differentiate constructive criticism from downright abuse? Industry veteran Paul Liu, owner of Haiku and Bento Go Go, said customers cross the line when they insult the staff. “A lot of times when you talk civilly with them, the owner or the manager talks to them, they behave differently,” Liu said. “Sometimes they don’t
of service to their staff. And, in his professional world, there is no substitute for first-rate customer relations. “The food is an important component” of restaurants, he said. “But there are plenty of people who will eat mediocre food if the service is world-class.” His company sends secret diners in to test the determination of servers. They will, for example, say they found a hair on their burger. The servers too often will look for the wayward lock or quibble with customers when the solution is simple: “Toss the old one away and get them a new one,” Cannon said. “Service is a lost art in this industry,” he said. “Those that stay focused on it usually have better sales growth, significantly better profits and a significantly better culture and environment than those who don’t.”
Recipe of the week and when they don’t, you politely ask them to leave.” It’s an endless discussion in the food-service industry, said Jarrod Clabaugh, director of communications for the Ohio Restaurant Association. “We always encourage our members to train their staffs on the importance of etiquette,” he said. “Whenever a customer’s request can be followed, like leaving a particular item out of a dish, they should do their best to meet that request.” Most patrons are easy to please, Clabaugh said. “But, some customers’ requests can be over-
reaching,” he said. “It’s important to walk the line carefully.” Howard Cannon of Restaurant Consultants of America, based in Alabama, said restaurants can never overvalue customer service. “In the old days it was ‘The customer’s always right,’” he said. “Now you can barely get an operator to agree with that. Ultimately they’re not trained to believe it.” Cannon said the industry has grown so much, so fast, that operators couldn’t teach the finer points

Firm offers cultural, environmental services By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
What started out as two archeologists scrambling to fill a void has burgeoned into a 45-employee Northlandbased company with offices in four states offering services dealing with ancient history as well as completely modern issues and problems. What is today the ASC Group Inc. Cultural and Environmental Consultants, with headquarters on Freeway Drive North, was founded by business partners and Clintonville residents Shaune M. Skinner and Elsie ImmelBlei on April 1, 1986, as simply Archeological Services Consultants. “ASC Group Inc. is a certified, women-owned cultural and environmental resources management company,” according to its website. The cultural part provided the underpinnings for the enterprise when the Ohio Historical Society, as a result of a potential conflict of interest, was forced to drop archeological surveys as a service offered. Skinner and Immel-
Blei, archeologists for the society, faced losing their jobs so, with the blessing of the director, started their own firm to provide the surveys, which are required by federal regulations for many types of development and land use. It was a propitious time to get into the field, so to speak, according to Skinner, now president of the company; business partner Immel-Blei is more involved in the financial end of things. In about 1986, Skinner said, the federal Office of Surface Mining had just been sued for failing to comply with a requirement to conduct archeological surveys before mining operations started. As a result, coal companies were lined up waiting for a whole backlog of these surveys to be conducted. For the first two years of the company’s existence, all Skinner and Immel-Blei did was surveys for mining companies, to permit operations to begin where nothing or archeological significance was found or halted where there was. “All we needed were shovels,” Skinner recalled “Back then, people wrote reports on typewriters. We didn’t have
to go out and buy a building. We didn’t have to buy a lot of expensive equipment.” With the expansion of services over the years since, ASC Group Inc. has had to buy a building, lots of expensive equipment and has expanded to have offices in not only Columbus but also By Laurie Stevenson/ThisWeek Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pitts- Shaune Skinner stands by some of the artifacts collectburgh, Harrisburg, ed by her staff from the field.

For that to work,
she added, it was necessary to find the right people to employ. “Which we have,” Immel-Blei said. “We’re lucky.” The two women pride themselves on the fact the cultural aspects of what they and their employees do have led to preservation of some important areas and artifacts. The oldest artifact ASC personnel have discovered is a projectile point that dates back to at least 10,000 B.C., Skinner said. The term arrowhead would be incorrect for such an item, she added, since it predates by many centuries the invention of the bow and arrow. “Absolutely it’s rewarding, to know that a non-renewable resource was saved,” Immel-Blei said. This is particularly the case when ancient burial sites are discovered and preserved, according to Skinner. “They would have been blasted away,” Immel-Blei put in. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
