Council OKs funds for improvements By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Grandview Heights City Council Monday approved $159,000 in equipment purchases as part of its capital improvements budget for 2011. The appropriations include $81,000 to purchase three cruisers and $10,000 to buy a motorcycle for the police department. Originally only two cruisers were to be purchased this year, but council approved adding the third vehicle because the make and model will soon be dis-

continued. The ordinance also appropriates $34,000 for repairs at the municipal pool. The work will involve the filter, pump, drain line valve, electrical and robotic cleaner. A total of $29,000 was also appropri-

ated to purchase a cardiac monitor/defibrillator for the fire department. The items were presented to council for its approval now because of timeliness issues. Other proposed capital improvement projects will be presented to council later in the year. At a finance committee meeting held prior to the council meeting, Mayor Ray DeGraw presented a capital improvement plan for 2010 through 2014. The plan projects capital improvement purchases and projects would total $1,973,500 for the five-year period.

It breaks down which projects and purchases would be made each year. According to the plan, 2011 will have the lowest capital improvement expenditures, totaling $233,500. The highest budget is for 2012, with projected capital improvement expenditures totaling $636,000. The year’s projected expenditures includes replacing a pumper, at a cost of $400,000. The provision included in the income tax levy voters approved last May that 5 percent of all city income tax revenue be set aside for capital improvements is already paying dividends and making it

easier to plan for projects and expenditures, said Patrik Bowman, director of administration/economic development. All individual expenditures ultimately have to be approved by council. In other business Monday, council approved an ordinance to accept a $43,114 grant from the Columbus Foundation for the Pierce Field Accessible Playground Program. The city will be replacing the playground equipment at Pierce Field and installing a safer surface for the site. See COUNCIL, page A2

Long-term planning can begin

LEARNING AT THE LIBRARY

After years in ‘survival mode,’ city is ready to take on new projects By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Eileen McNeil, youth service manager for the Grandview Public Library, tells the story of how a cold dog became a hot dog during the Music and Movement program at the library on Jan. 3. The program is designed for children ages 2 to 5 and is held each Monday at 1 p.m. The library offers a similar program, Saturday Story Stomp, on the first and third Saturday of the month at 11 a.m.

Gala invitations mailed out; reservation deadline Jan. 21 By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Reservations for the 2011 Grandview Heights/Marble Cliff Education Foundation gala are due by Jan. 21. Invitations to the 19th annual event were mailed Dec. 27, said Julie Freeman, who is serving as gala co-chair with Nicole DeVere. The gala, which serves as the foundation’s main fundraiser, will be held from 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 29 in the Archie Griffin Ballroom at the new Ohio Union on the OSU campus. “We’re really excited about being at the Ohio Union for this year’s gala,” Freeman said. “It’s a great facility that people have a

lot of interest in. If you’ve wanted to check out the new Union, this is the perfect opportunity.” The theme of this year’s gala is “Gala Unpinned.” “It’s a feeling that there are no boundaries or limits to what the fundraising aspect of the gala can be,” Freeman said. “One of the lines we’ve used is ‘unpin your expectations at the Union.” Last year’s event raised about $50,000 for the foundation. The gala will again include a social hour, dinner and dancing to the music of Mojoflo. The cost is $150 per person. Anyone who did not receive an invitation can make a reservation by emailing Free-

man at jafree422@sbcglobal.net or DeVere at nicolefd@columbus.rr.com. The evening will also include live and silent auctions, featuring a variety of items for bid, including tickets at the 45-yard line for next season’s OSU-Michigan State football game and tickets to the Feb. 15 basketball game between the two schools. “Grandview businesses have been so generous in donating items for the auctions,” Freeman said. “We also again have a number of art projects created by Grandview students and they always receive a lot of bids.” Items can still be donated for the auctions by contacting either of the gala chairs. See GALA, page A2

After several years of being in “survival mode,” the city of Grandview Heights can begin to do some long-term planning in 2011, Mayor Ray DeGraw said. “We’re certainly not out of the woods yet, but we can see the future now,” he said. “We have a long-term financial plan in place and it’s a conservative plan to control spending.” To survive over the last several years, the city has left positions unfilled, worked to control expenditures and deferred a number of needed projects, DeGraw said. “We haven’t had the luxury of planning forward,” he said. “The last seven years we’ve been in survival mode. We’ve had to do without to get by.” Voters’ approval of an income tax levy last May has given the city some breathing room, DeGraw said, and it also saved the city from “a dire situation.” Without the levy’s approval, the city would likely have not been able to maintain its level of operations in 2011, he said. “We have not collected quite what we thought we would, but we’ve been able to make adjustments,” DeGraw said. “We make a plan and projections for our budgets, but you always have to plan to adjust because of variables,” city council president Steve Reynolds said. “We’re bracing for the level of state funding to be cut back this

year.” The levy’s provision that 5 percent of all city income tax revenue will be set aside for Ray capital imDeGraw provements has also helped allow the city to begin longrange planning for its capital needs, DeGraw said. Steve In 2011, the Reynolds mayor said, he hopes the city can begin to do some longterm planning for addressing the needs of its aging buildings, including the municipal building and fire house and the community center. “We haven’t been in a position to address some of our needs building-wise,” he said. “We have to look at them long-term for the city and look in relation to the (revenue from) Grandview Yard long-term. We need to look at all our needs and do some prioritizing.” Council will be exploring the option of bond financing as a way to help fund large infrastructure needs, Reynolds said. The parks commission is developing plans for construction of a new multi-purpose building See PLANNING, page A3

Financial issues occupied city, village, schools in 2010 By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Like many families, the city of Grandview Heights, village of Marble Cliff and Grandview Heights City School District spent 2010 addressing financial concerns. Early in the year, Grandview Heights City Council discussed whether to place an income tax increase on the May ballot. Finance director Bob Dvoraczky presented council with a grim financial outlook for the city if an income tax increase was not approved by voters. He said that

without an income tax increase, the city would run out of cash before the end of 2011. The income tax increase voters approved in 2005 was set to expire at the end of 2010. Mayor Ray DeGraw said the city was being hurt by the changes in retirement

contributions and the increased cost of health insurance, which makes up about 10 percent of the city budget. In early February, DeGraw presented council with a plan to ensure the city’s positive cash balance could be extended through 2015. The plan included gaining passage of an income tax levy to replace the expiring measure, the assumption that city expenditures would increase by no more than 3 to 3.5 percent each year, hiring no additional personnel through 2016 except the positions already funded in the budget and immediately cutting $300,000

from the current budget. After subsequent meetings with department heads, DeGraw presented council in March with proposed modifications to reduce the 2010 budget by $323,031. Dvoraczky showed council updated financial projections showing that even with passage of a 2.5 percent income tax levy, the city would have a negative yearend cash balance in 2015. At its Feb. 18 meeting, council voted 5-2 to place a levy on the May 4 ballot to increase the city’s income tax to 2.5 percent. The levy would also increase the credit given to Grandview residents who

pay income taxes to another municipality to 2.25 percent. The levy resolution also stated that 5 percent of all income tax revenue would be specifically allocated for capital expenditures. On May 4, the city’s levy passed overwhelmingly with about 63 percent of the vote. A Grandview resident who works in the city and earns $50,000 will pay $125 more in income taxes each year.

Library concert series receives GCAC grant The Greater Columbus Arts Council has awarded a $1,000 grant to the Grandview Heights Public Library for its Music in the Atrium concert series. The library was among 20 organizations that received a portion of the $21,200 in grants the GCAC awarded in the third round of its 2010 Franklin County Neighborhood Arts program. The program is funded by the Franklin County Board of Commissioners. “It’s a big deal for us,” said Canaan Faulkner, the library’s coordinator of adult programs and web content. “Our performers are very generous with

the time and talent they provide but this grant will help us be able to continue to bring these concerts to the community,” he said. The grant program is designed to increase community participation in the arts throughout the county. “One of the things we highlighted in our grant application was the educational aspect of the Music in the Atrium series,” Faulkner said. The library encourages musicians to include an educational component to their performance and most do, providing information about their genre of music or allowing concertgoers to touch and even play their instruments, he said. Now in its 20th year, the Music in the

Atrium series strives to present a variety of musical genres, Faulkner said. “The atrium is such a great setting for concerts,” he said. “The acoustics are amazing.” One memorable night, an Anatolian folk music group performed, playing their drums and strings while a thunderstorm rumbled outside, Faulkner said. The next concert in the atrium will be on Jan. 20 and will feature jazz vocalist Dwight Lenox. Other upcoming concerts include The Salty Caramels (Americana), Feb. 17; John Sherman (Celtic guitar), March 17; singersongwriter Mike Morgan,April 7; and Maggie Green (American/Latin jazz). All concerts are free and begin at 7 p.m.

FINANCIAL ISSUES Continued from page A1 tax went into effect on July 1. At the June 7 council meeting, DeGraw presented council with a proposed compensation plan for non-uniform employees. The mayor said the proposed ordinance was designed to provide guidelines and policies to allow the city to adjust the compensation plan to meet the expenditure goals the administration and council committed to in advance of the May income tax levy. After months of discussion, council unanimously approved a revised compensation ordinance on Dec. 9. The compensation plan’s major provisions increased employee contributions to health insurance costs, freezing the pension pickup by the city at 2010 levels, restructuring sick leave reciprocity, capping longevity payments and increasing the upper end of authorized pay ranges. An early version of the ordinance had been voted down 4-3 by council on Sept. 20. The first phase of Grandview Yard, the massive multi-use development Nationwide Realty Investors is building at and adjacent to the former Big Bear property, opened Sept. 1. A large crowd attended the open house, which began with a performance by the Grandview Heights High School marching band and remarks by Brian Ellis, president and COO of NRI, and DeGraw. The first phase includes a threestory, 92,000-square-foot office building anchored by M&A Architects on the third floor and Jason’s Deli on the first floor; a two-story, 42,000-square-foot Urban Active Fitness center and a six-story Hyatt Place Hotel with 126 guest rooms. A 509-space parking garage also opened. Late in the year, council considered an ordinance to increase the mayor’s salary from $22,000 to $38,000, effective with the beginning of the next mayoral term on Jan. 1, 2012. By a 4-3 vote Dec. 6, council rejected the ordinance, which included a provision that the mayor would have an opportunity to earn additional income by serving in the mayor’s court, instead of hiring the services of a magistrate. An amended ordinance presented at the Dec. 23 council meeting by Council member Steve Gladman was approved 5-2. The amended ordinance will increase the mayor’s salary to $26,000 effective Jan. 1. The salary will increase to $30,000 on Jan. 1, 2013; $33,000 in 2014; and $36,000 in 2015. The provision to pay the mayor additional money for mayor’s court

duties was stricken from the ordinance. Council also passed a $10,608,874 budget for 2011, including a general fund totaling $9.5-million. The school district also wrestled with financial issues throughout the year, Treasurer David Knisley presented a financial projection at the annual tax budget hearing showing that without another levy, the district would face a deficit of $1.2million is in fiscal year 2012-13 and a shortfall of $4.6-million in 2013-14. The district would have to place a levy on the ballot no later than November 2011 to avoid a deficit, Knisley said. In March, Superintendent Ed O’Reilly told the school board an operating levy placed on the November 2010 ballot would need to be between 4.95 and 5.95 mills to get the district through the next three years. If the district waited until November 2011 to seek an operating levy, the millage would have to grow to between 9.5 and 10.5 mills, O’Reilly said. If an operating levy is not passed before the end of 2011, the district would have to make cuts to make up the estimated $1.275million deficit that would occur the following year, he said. On July 13, the board voted unanimously to place a combined 5.9 mill property tax levy on the Nov. 2 ballot. A total of 3.9 mills of the levy would be used for operating expenses and 2 mills would be used for general, on-going permanent improvements, including technology purchases. The board’s intention was for the operating portion of the levy to last three years. The permanent improvement

GALA portion would be a continuing measure. In November, the school levy passed, garnering about 65 percent of the vote, representing the largest margin of victory for a Grandview school levy dating back to at least 1983. The combined levy will generate about $1.6-million annually. Marble Cliff Village Council spent the year exploring various options to cope with the village’s financial problems. In May, fiscal officer Cindy McKay presented a five-year forecast that if things remain “business as usual,” by the end of 2015 the village would have a deficit of $308,258. The projection does not assume further redevelopment of the NiSource property or take into account several potential revenue generating options, any of which could help reduce or eliminate the projected deficit, McKay said. In December, the council approved four revenue-generating options to help prevent the looming deficit situation The options council approved were: Asking the Franklin County Budget Commission to increase the amount of inside millage collected in the village from .35 to 1 mill of the approximate 1.8 mills of available inside millage. Mandating the filing of village income tax returns beginning in 2012 for the 2011 tax year and requiring landlords to report the occupants of their commercial and residential properties. Enacting a 15 percent surcharge to the sanitary sewer rate and a 10 percent surcharge to the water rate. Levying a $5 municipal motor vehicle license fee. www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Habitat seeking winter volunteers

at Pierce Field, DeGraw said, and improvements at Wyman Woods may also be completed this year. A zoning plan for the Yard will be completed this year, DeGraw said. The opening of the first phase of the Yard project was a highlight of 2010, he said. “I think everybody is enjoying what’s there already and wondering what’s next,” DeGraw said. NRI is planning a residential project north of the Hyatt Place Hotel, he said. “We’re hoping the economy will turn more favorable for retail and it appears that it will,” DeGraw said. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to get some good retail commitments for the Yard in place.” The city has developed a plan for improvements to Oakland Avenue and will be scheduling a meeting with residents over the next few weeks to review the details, he said. The project will include storm drainage improvements, sewer and water line improvements and sidewalk improvements “that are long overdue,” DeGraw said. It will also include components to help address the problem of speeding on Oakland. The city will continue to review its service department operations in 2011, he said. Planning commission member Dorothy Pritchard is serving as a consultant in that effort. Fire Chief Steve Shaner will continue to talk with other fire departments to look at ways the communities can work in tandem on training opportunities and purchases to help save money, DeGraw said. The city may be able to start a planned stormwater project for the southwest area and Goodale Boulevard this year and will be looking to plan improvements for the U.S. 33/Grandview Avenue intersection, he said. A review of the city’s street improvement needs will also be conducted during the year, DeGraw said. afroman@thisweeknews.com

Shortwave radio communication grew rapidly in the 1920s, much like the Internet grew in the late 20th century. Amateur enthusiasts formed clubs across the United States and abroad. Members of the 1924 GHHS Radio Club, formed in 1922, are shown in this photo. Each member strived to obtain his amateur radio operator’s license. Major accomplishments for 1924 included the design and calibration of a wave meter and a testing board for evaluating receiving circuits. Though not explicitly stated, descriptions from the GHHS yearbooks at the time imply that the Radio Club was for boys only.

As it were

Downtown was busy on New Year’s Eve 1910

Don’t miss the action!

Adam Cairns | ThisWeek

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. Well … at least most of the time. Central Ohio has been relatively free of ED snow in the past few LENTZ 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, 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 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.

Boys learn from Bobcat Classic By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

As the new year begins, Ray Corbett is looking for his Grandview Heights High School boys basketball team to build on the experience it gained the past two weeks. The Bobcats were 4-3 overall after losing the championship game of their Bobcat Holiday Classic to Hartley 5535 on Dec. 30. Despite the lopsided loss, Corbett believes his team can gain positives from the tournament. In the opening round on Dec. 29, Grandview beat Wellington 39-36, as Riley Middendorf scored 13 points and Spencer Rinehart and Andy Treasure each scored eight. “I thought defensively we were solid against Hartley, which is a pretty good basketball team,” said Corbett, whose team played Horizon Science last Wednesday. “Wellington is also a pretty good team that showed us some different looks. We saw some things offensively that we hadn’t seen this year and saw some pretty good defense. Our execution wasn’t what it needed to be, but we’re an inexperienced group and hopefully we will be able to handle situations like this better in the future. “I think Wellington gave us some different zone looks.

fensively throughout the game and we didn’t respond well to it.” Against Hartley, the Bobcats trailed 17-5 after one quarter and 37-16 at halftime. Middendorf scored 15 points, followed by Treasure with seven. “We would have had to play

a very solid game against Hartley to be in it,” Corbett said. “But the things we saw against Wellington and Hartley, I think it will allow us as coaches to prepare for the next time we come up against that.” Hartley beat Northridge 71-

31 in the other opening-round game of the Bobcat Holiday Classic on Dec. 29. The Vikings rebounded to beat Wellington 49-30 in the consolation game a day later. “We play some pretty talented teams in our non-league

schedule and this tournament was a part of that,” Northridge coach John Wheeler said. “The experience of playing Hartley really woke us up to what we will expect come (district) tournament time. This tournament will really help with getting us geared up for the big (Mid-Buckeye Conference) games we have ahead. Whether we had played Grandview or Wellington in our second game, it would have been a game that would help prepare us for the physicality of league play.” Entering play this week, Grandview was tied with Fisher Catholic, Licking Heights and West Jefferson in the MSL-Cardinal Division at 2-1, behind Harvest Prep at 3-0. Berne Union was sixth at 1-2 and Liberty Union and Millersport both were 0-3. On Dec. 21, the Bobcats beat Liberty Union 64-47 as Middendorf scored 21 points, including three 3-pointers. Treasure scored 16, followed by Luke Miller and Rinehart with eight points apiece. Grandview plays Friday at Millersport and Tuesday at home against Berne Union. “Millersport has a lot of size and is primarily a zone team,” Corbett said. “(The Lakers) have a couple of kids who have played varsity for two or three seasons.

Smith helps wrestlers take 2nd at Winter Classic By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Tim Norman/ThisWeek

Phil Halko of Ready tangles with Upper Arlington’s Skyler Sowry in a match at 171 pounds during the Ready Winter Classic on Dec. 29. Halko went on to place second.

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 poll released Dec. 21. Smith also has trained with Team Miron Wrestling, which is run by former Ohio State assistant Miron Kharchilava in Dublin. Smith has competed all season at 112 but was ranked No. 2 at 103 in the Dec. 21 area coaches poll behind Marion Pleasant’s Zon Fields. The other ranked Ready wrestlers were Hall (first at 112) and senior Phil Halko (third at 171). West Jefferson was the No. 1 team, followed by Galion Northmor, Heath, Cardington and Fredericktown. Seeded second at 112 for the Winter Classic, Smith pinned Teays Valley’s Creed Milner, the top seed, in 3 minutes, 59 seconds to win the title. “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.

They get out and guard you on defense, trying to limit you to one shot and to take away what you do best. They should be a good test for us.” Aside from Hartley, the Bobcats have lost to Harvest Prep 58-44 on Dec. 17 and Jonathan Alder 59-43 on Dec. 4 in the season opener. The three teams were a combined 15-2 entering this week. “We lost three times and all three are pretty solid basketball teams,” Corbett said. “Hartley (was) undefeated (at the time)

(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
