Liberty delays payment in Walmart case By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Liberty Township trustees on Jan. 3 voted to issue a surety bond for the $750,000 in damages it owes to Wedgewood Limited Partnership in a U.S. District Court case over a proposed Walmart store. The surety bond is required by the court and will allow the township to delay payment until it learns if the U.S. Supreme Court will hear its appeal of a federal judge’s de-
cision that the township violated Wedgewood’s due process rights. In December, a jury awarded the damages to Wedgewood in the civil lawsuit filed by the partnership’s president Charles Ruma in 2004, after the township denied Wedgewood a zoning permit for a Walmart. Still to be decided is how much Liberty will pay in legal fees and costs. U.S. District Court judge Algenon Marbley will decide those costs at a later date. Documents Wedgewood filed in October with
the U.S. District Court show a request for compensation from the township for the partnership’s attorney fees, court costs and interest on both, in all totaling $1.7-million. Marbley ruled in 2008 the township violated Wedgewood’s constitutional right to due process regarding a proposed 220,598square-foot Walmart Superstore. The 34-acre site at 10600 Sawmill Parkway is in Wedgewood Commerce Center. Wedgewood was

Olentangy yet to resolve operating levy millage By THOMAS SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The system includes 20-million birth and death certificates, said House. The centralized data base is securely accessed through the web, said Pam Shears, vital statistics registrar with the Delaware General Health District. “Our records were digitized about five years ago, so it was easier for us to pull up records and issue them quickly. Not all counties had digitized records. Some would have to pull paper records and make copies,” Shears said. While all counties’ records are in the data base, whether to provide the extended service is up to the individual counties, House said. Ohio is an open records state. Anyone can request and purchase a birth or death certificate.
The Olentangy school board is expected to vote Jan. 12 to resolve the question of how much millage it will seek in a May operating levy. The board voted 3-2 on Dec. 22 to seek a combined 7.9-mill operating levy and bond issue. Later the board learned such issues require at least a 41 vote for approval, under state law. Board member Scott Galloway and Kevin O’Brien voted against the 7.9-mill levy. Unless once changes his mind, the board will have to compromise on a lower millage amount. Both O’Brien and Galloway have said they support a 6.9- A closer look mill levy.

O’Brien was out of state and did not attend the Dec. 28 meeting. For each $100,000 of home valuation, a 7.9-mill levy costs about $30 a year more than 6.9 mills. The 6.9-mill levy would cost $211.31 a year while the 7.9-mill levy would cost $241.94. The district estimates that 6.9 mills would raise about $22-million a year versus $24-million for 7.9 mills. Board president Julie Wagner-Feasel, superintendent Wade Lucas and treasurer Becky Jenkins were unaware that at least four “yes” votes were needed. Wagner Feasel said all levies in recent memory were authorized by 5-0 board votes. Julie She said she received an e- Wagner-Feasel mail from a Hilliard board member advising her that the Olentangy vote was apparently invalid. She and other district officials investigated and learned that was true. Olentangy wants to place a combination three-year operating levy and no-new-millage Wade bond issue on the May ballot. Lucas There is no disagreement over the bond issue, which would require no new millage because the current bond debt in the district would be restructured. The proposed bond issue would raise about $24million to build a new elementary school and pay for some other things including new textbooks and capital improvements.

Fitness instructor Christy Heckle leads an exercise class at the Powell-Liberty YMCA, 7798 N. Liberty Road., on Tuesday, Jan. 4. The Y will be hosting a health fair on from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 9.
Powell-Liberty YMCA slates third health fair By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Liberty Township-Powell YMCA will hold a health fair from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 9, at its facility at 7798 N. Liberty Road. The fair will feature health care professionals, vendors and YMCA program instructors. “This is the third year for the fair,” said Michele Cannell,YMCA health and wellness director. “We like to have it in January because that is when people make those New Year’s resolutions to get healthy and we like to provide them with information at the health fair so they can have a more well-rounded healthy lifestyle.” This year attendees will be able to get health related information from a variety of professionals including: • Ophthalmologists who will per-
form basic vision testing and talk about eye health. • Chiropractors who will discuss healthy spine alignment and bring a machine that analyzes a person’s spine alignment. • A massage therapist who will provide free 10-minute chair massages. • A meditation counselor who will teach people how to relieve stress. • The Delaware General Health District, which will provide healthrelated information including its walking program for senior citizens. • The YMCA staff, which will provide free blood pressure and fitness tests, and answer basic questions about fitness. Fair visitors also can get information and orientation about the Y’s exercise programs and equipment at the facility.
Every January, the YMCA gives away three-day passes for people to try out the facility and classes, Cannell said. Whether people’s resolutions are to start exercising or to add rigor to their current program, the YMCA has programs to help meet those goals, said Lolita Haverlock,YMCA program director. New members can take a “Healthy Start Class” and meet with trainers to develop a personalized fitness program. The seven-week class meets once a week. “We have a very non-threatening, comfortable, family oriented environment, where (members) can come in for a small group setting and learn how to put together a (fitness) program and start out their wellness on the right foot,” said Haverlock. The YMCA group exercise classes — such as Zumba dancing, Bosu
stability exercises, cycling and Pilates — are fun and can be modified to the beginning or well-trained level. For the well-trained person, the YMCA is offering small group training classes such as “Insanity Boot Camp” and “P30X,” which is 30 minutes of high-intensity workout. Overall physical activity is important, Haverlock said. “That piece of the healthier body is important, but it also reduces stress. We’re spirit, mind and body at the Y,” said Haverlock. “The biggest thing with the Y is the community piece of it. We’re familybased, so when you are here working out, there’s also stuff for your children. It can be a family event.” For more information on the health fair or other YMCA offerings, visit www.ymcacolumbus.org/liberty or call (614) 839-9622.
Health district joins new birth certificate program By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Getting a birth certificate for an Ohio-born person just got easier for Delaware County residents. “No matter where you were born in Ohio, you can now get your birth certificate at the Delaware General Health District,” said health district spokesperson Jesse Carter. Previously, the local health department could issue certificates only for persons born in Delaware County, Carter said. The health district is participating in a newly launched database of Ohio vital statistics dating back to 1908. The program is provided by the Ohio Department of Health. “This was an effort by ODH to make it easi-

Olentangy yet to Health district resolve operating joins new birth levy millage certificate program At the Dec. 28 meeting, the board voted 4-0 to seek permission to increase its debt. Because the district’s debt is more than 4 percent of its assessed valuation, it must seek special permission from the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Department of Taxation anytime it seeks to increase its debt. The current valuation of the district is about $3.1-billion, Jenkins said. The district had until Jan. 3 to file the necessary paperwork with the education and taxation departments to increase its debt. Wagner Feasel said the board is expected to vote at its Jan. 12 meeting on a new resolution of necessity to have the Delaware County auditor certify a millage amount for a levy in May.
Further board discussions about the levy could result in a compromise amount between 6.9 and 7.9 mills, she said. Wagner Feasel and board members Dave King and Stacy Dunbar, who all voted in favor of the 7.9 mills, have previously said any lower amount could result in cuts to academic programs. Galloway and O’Brien think program cuts can be spared even with a 6.9-mill levy. In either case, costsaving measures — such as not replacing personnel who retire or resign — will be needed, officials have said. If the board approves a resolution of necessity at the Jan. 12 meeting and the millage amount is then certified by the county auditor, the board must act before the Feb. 2 filing deadline for the May election.

“They don’t have to be that person, a family member or have any reason for requesting it,” Shears said. “They only need to know the person’s name and year of birth.” The birth certificates are available at the Delaware General Health District’s Vital Statistics desk on the second floor of 1 W. Winter St. in downtown Delaware. The cost for a certified copy is $24. Of that fee, $10.50 is kept locally, Shears said. “The rest is sent to the state for a variety of programs including the Children’s Trust Fund (and) domestic violence shelters. A portion goes to the Ohio Department of Health is paying for the cost of re-engineering the program,” Shears said.

A rendering of the Phyllis A. Jones Legacy Park, to be built in front of the new Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
Powell woman’s donation to fund park at Ohio State By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Phyllis Jones, of Powell, has spent a number of years looking for a way to thank the Ohio State University Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital. The hospital and its namesake, Dr. James, cared for her husband, Clayton K. Jones, as he battled lung cancer. He was among the first patients treated for lung cancer at the hospital when it opened in 1990. He died in 1991. Recently Phyllis Jones pledged $2-million to fund the Phyllis A. Jones Legacy Park, to be built in front of the new Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. The new hospital is part of a $1-billion Ohio State University Medical Center expansion scheduled for completion in 2014. “I always knew I was going to help the hospital. I just didn’t know how and when they started talking about the new hospital, I thought there ought to be something there that I can get into,� Jones said. Jones said she and her first husband, Clayton, were grateful for the care he received at the hospital. “They were wonderful. They treated him so well. Dr. James came in every morning and brought him ice chips, because that was all he could have, and they’d talk and tell jokes,� Phyllis Jones said. “(Clayton) wanted me to do it. He said, ‘Take care of the James, they took care of me.’ And I said, ‘I will.’ And I’ve been racking my brain for the last 10 years thinking what should I do and when the park came up it was just perfect.� When David Schuller, M.D., vice president of the OSU Medical Center Expansion and Outreach, showed Jones the plans for the park, she said she’d found what she had been looking for. “I fell in love with it. It will give people a place away from the hospital,� Jones said. “To me the park seemed like a comfort.� Jones said she sat with her husband for many hours and would have welcomed a refuge like the

park to find comfort. “When (Schuller) showed me the plan I thought what a nice place Phyllis for people to Jones go out and pull themselves together. It’s very hard when you have to sit with a dying person for weeks on end and there’s nothing you can do,� she said. “Through this generous donation, countless patients and their families will be able to rest and reflect in this healing park just outside of our state-of-theart cancer hospital where we are working diligently to create a cancer-free world,� Dr. Michael Caligiuri, director of the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and CEO of the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, said in a written statement. Clayton and Phyllis Jones founded Fiesta Salons in 1973. Mrs. Jones ran the business as president and CEO after her husband’s death until 2007, when she sold the company. The Jones’ company had grown from two salons to 175 in five states when the company was sold.

“We started out with two salons, one on the Hilltop and one on the east side,� Jones said. “We never opened a salon unless we paid for it in cash. We didn’t want to go in debt. My husband put them together and I cleaned them up.� Neither one of the Joneses cut hair, but they were encouraged to open the low-priced salons by friends in Pennsylvania who had similar salons. “We kept saying, ‘We don’t know anything about it.’ They finally said to my husband, ‘My brother and I are going to bring a truck down with the furniture in it. We’ll set you up and then you can get going and pay us back, and that’s what we did.’ He told us don’t go into debt. Go slow. And that’s what we did,� Jones said. “(The park) will be wonderful for patients, their relatives and dear ones to just get a breath of air and something soft and nice,� Jones said. “This new hospital is going to be absolutely beautiful. You can’t beat it. I thank God how lucky we are to have the James in Columbus.� Jones, who was born in Kenton, Ohio, and raised in Columbus, has a daughter and a son, three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. bbutcher@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Just thinking
Having coyotes as close neighbors is a bit unnerving Spotting coyotes in the back yard allows me to put the spiders I see in the bathroom into perspective. I mean, imagine if it were the other way around — spiders out in the yard and coyotes lurking under the bathroom sink. Of course, it sort of is the other way around, at least as far as the spiders are concerned. I realized long ago that trying to rid our century-old house of every last creature that crawls upon the earth was an exercise in futility, since what’s in the house is what’s under the house, and what’s under the house is whatever’s out there in the fields around us. Fortunately, some bugs of the field prefer to stay in the field, similar to the way certain people would rather tent-camp than stay in a motel, no matter how many cable TV channels are offered for free. Other bugs may want in, but most of them don’t make it thanks to their short legs and brief life spans. I figure if they start walking from the middle of the field, they die of advanced old age about three inches closer to the house than they were when they started. The spiders who do make it into the house, I suspect, are the ones who have spent their whole lives directly underneath it, which would explain why our house spiders tend to be unusually enormous and strong. They’ve been sheltered by the house, for one thing, and they didn’t have far to travel, for another. No wonder my husband and I have been witness to some of the brawniest arachnids ever to swagger out from under the refrigerator. They’re like hothouse flowers,
raised solely to flex their thighs of steel — all eight of them — and check out their reflections in the oven winMARGO dow. My point, BARTLETT however, is that while the spiders I see in the bathroom are in fact also running around in the fields, the coyotes I see in the fields are not yet running around in the bathroom. It may be just a matter of time, of course. Recent news stories about coyotes only confirm what people in my rural neighborhood already knew: Coyotes are here. We often listen to them crying at night, and trust me, the wails, yips and yelps out there in the dark have an undercurrent of wildness that makes a person glad to be safely indoors. It might be comforting to know that according to the Ohio Wildlife Center, only animals who weigh less than 45 pounds need to fear coyotes. It might be comforting, I say, but in fact it isn’t, because our dog weighs about 40 pounds and is singularly unprepared to fend off a coyote. In fact, I doubt he’d even see a coyote coming. He’d smell it coming, his nose tucked into the coyote’s tracks as if he were sewing the paw prints together with his muzzle, and he wouldn’t see the coyote itself until the top of his head bumped into the coyote’s throat. Even then, he’d probably want to play. This is so sad I can scarcely think about it. The Ohio Wildlife Center’s
website suggests pet owners not leave animals outdoors alone after 4 p.m. It also suggests — and this is even more alarming — that parents “keep an eye on small children.” I’m sure this is a good idea — it’s always a good idea, coyotes or no coyotes — but am I alone in thinking the tone of this friendly tip is a little casual under the circumstances? Perhaps children are less at risk than small animals, but I still find it difficult to assume that we need to worry less about them. Children are, after all, our young, and as such we tend to feel protective toward them. Incidentally, the 4 p.m. cutoff is intended to coincide with the onset of dusk, since coyotes are nocturnal animals. Supposedly. In fact, my husband and I have been seeing coyotes in the dead of day, so to speak. They seem to be watching us, which adds to our unease. It’s possible, I suppose, that the coyotes have young themselves and, in the manner of all good parents, are keeping an eye on us while their children sleep. It may be that they are as afraid of us as we are of them. Wouldn’t that be funny if it turned out to be true? We could all share a laugh and learn a valuable lesson at the same time. Or wait. This isn’t an episode of Leave It To Beaver. It’s Ohio Wildlife, a reality show. I don’t deny that coyotes are my favorite characters, but I’m glad that the ones in the bathroom are the spiders.

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. 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.
nizable 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 Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Antique show has a history of its own By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Worthington Antique Show, said to be the longest-running antique show in central Ohio, will be held this Saturday and Sunday at the Worthington Holiday Inn. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are available at the door. The Worthington Historical Society, which sponsors the show, was formed following World War II, when the economy was strong enough to support the first antique show, said historical society president Jutta Pegues. It has continued every year. More than 30 dealers from all over the Midwest participate each year in the show that was first held in St. John’s Episcopal Church. The venue changed to Green Meadows Inn, and later to the General Beightler Armory Headquarters, a base of the Ohio National Guard on West Dublin-Granville Road. When the Guard needed all its space for training, it was moved to the Hilton Hotel, which is now the Holiday Inn. Some of the managers over the years have been Jim and Jordy Ventresca, Jack and Jean Frost, Bunny and Bill Nolt. Tom Heisey has managed the show since Mrs. Nolt’s death in 2007. He is great-grandson of the founder of the famous Heisey Glass Company in Newark. As in past years, the dealers will bring a com-
prehensive scope of formal and country furniture, folk and fine art, fine china, glassware, toys, silver, jewelry and porcelain for both the advanced collector and those just beginning to acquire genuine antiques, Heisey said. Several new exhibitors this year will bring stoneware decoys, golf memorabilia, quilts, linens, writing instruments, jewelry, silver and more. The antique show is one of the primary fundraisers for the historical society. Funds are used for the upkeep of the society’s properties. This year, the added expense of replacing the roof at the Old Rectory must be addressed with funds raised by the show. The 1845-building, once the home of the rectors of St. John’s Episcopal Church, was moved from the church property to the corner of West New England Avenue and Oxford Street several years ago. It now houses the society’s collections, gift shop and offices. Last fall, it was discovered that the roof was failing. The back section was in such poor condition that it had to be replaced immediately. Otherwise, winter weather might have damaged the historic clothing collection stored directly underneath. The front section of the roof will be replaced in the spring. The society also owns and maintains the Orange Johnson House on High Street and the Indian mounds on Plesenton Drive. cbrooks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen OVERLAPPING SENSES New research holds out hope that scientists may someday be able to help hearing-impaired individuals supplement their hearing with their sense of touch. Scientists have found that the senses not only work together, but they can override one another. In essence, this means people can see with their ears, hear with their eyes, or hear with their touch. With lip-reading as an example of this sensory phenomenon, it is easier to understand that scientists were able to help individuals better identify sound by reinforcing certain sounds with a puff of air on their skin. It is hoped that this finding may be used to translate a speaker’s voice into tactile signals that can help hearing-impaired individuals to hear. Our primary mission at ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS is to help as many people as possible improve their hearing and thus their lives. We hope to help the hearing impaired better enjoy the world through advanced technology, education, and friendly, compassionate service. For a knowledgeable understanding of the body’s hearing mechanisms and a deep commitment to knowing what’s available today to help each individual’s hearing loss, we welcome you to 1000 Morrison Road, Suite H, Gahanna. Or call us at 614-654-4309 to arrange a hearing test - the first step to better hearing. We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex.

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
Fisherman’s Wharf 1611 Polaris Pkwy., Westerville 614-431-1411 Web: bestgreekusa.com Cuisine: Seafood Price: $$$ ($20-$30 per person) Patio: Yes Hours: 11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Friday, 12-10:30 p.m. Saturday, 12-9 p.m. Sunday and near meal-in-itself Captain’s Artichoke Salad ($6). 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

Orange aims to win home tournament By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Olentangy Orange High School wrestling coach Brian Nicola believes his team has the talent to defend its title in the home Pioneer Invitational on Saturday. However, Nicola said several of his athletes will need to contribute for his squad to win the 11-team tournament that also includes Bloom-Carroll, Columbus East, Linden-McKinley, Marion-Franklin, Martins Ferry, Me-
chanicsburg, Orange’s B team, Ready, Watterson and Westerville Central. The Pioneers scored 237 points to win the tournament last season ahead of runner-up Ready (175). It was the first tournament title in program history. Junior Jonathan Edwards (103 pounds) and sophomore Artem Timchenko (112) each went 3-0 to win individual titles. Edwards transferred to Caledonia River Valley and Timchenko transferred to Massillon Perry during the offseason. “Our goal is to win our tournament
again, but Ready and Mechanicsburg are looking really good, and Martins Ferry has traditionally been pretty tough, so I expect it to be a fight,” Nicola said. “We run it in the same format as you would a one-day sectional, so you need to have a number of kids place in their weight classes to be in the mix for the team championship. I feel like we have a guy at every weight class who is capable of placing in this tournament, and if everybody wrestles to their capabilities, we should do well. But you’ve still got to go out there and get it done.”
Only three Pioneers have winning records in J.J. Jurcisek (7-4 at 119), Josh Toprani (8-5 at 145) and Mike Moore (10-4 at 152). But Nicola said he isn’t troubled by the slow start considering the Pioneers are coming off two of the toughest tournaments in the state in the North Canton Hoover Invitational on Dec. 17-18 and the Brecksville Invitational Holiday Tournament on Dec. 29-30. Orange finished 33rd (45) in the 42team Brecksville tournament behind champion Bedford Chanel (191).
Toprani (145) went 2-3 to place eighth. “Part of why we do those tournaments is that it gets our kids used to wrestling at a higher level, even if they don’t win all of their matches,” Nicola said. “We’re still figuring out a couple of our weight classes, and we didn’t have as much success in those tournaments as we were hoping for, but we did have some guys place in both tournaments and I think the competition has made most of our kids better.” See WRESTLE, page B3

Team-building exercises help Patriots’ start By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
On Dec. 23, Jake Bischoff lined up to begin a much-ballyhooed, three-hour practice for the Olentangy Liberty High School boys basketball team. Coach Greg Nossaman had tweeted his whistle, setting up the players for baseline-to-baseline sprints in the humid gymnasium. But instead of making them run, Nossaman and his staff loaded the players into cars. Destination: Sawmill Lanes for practice with a different kind of ball. “Coach and everyone had been talking up the three-hour practice all week, but after we line up he told us everyone was going bowling,” Bischoff said. “Coach
Nossaman had the best score with a 178, but I was the best of the players with a 158.” The outing was just another team-building exercise by Nossaman and his staff to bring the team closer on and off the court. The strategy must be working, as the Patriots improved to 7-1 with a 52-45 win over Dublin Scioto last Monday. “We had an overnight scrimmage in November at Cincinnati and we went bowling over at Sawmill Lanes,” said Nossaman, whose team plays an OCC-Cardinal Division game Friday at home against Westerville Central and a non-league game at home Saturday against Hilliard Davidson. “We try to go out for dinner together before away games and before home games

We try to do as many things as we can as a team.” Bischoff hit a 3-pointer from the left corner with 27 seconds to play on Dec. 29 to give Liberty a 41-40 win over Delaware in the finale of the home Larry Eberst Classic, formerly the Delaware County Shootout.
“I don’t think bowling helped my shot, but you never know,” Bischoff said. “Coach (Nossaman) does a lot of stuff like that. He likes to keep things light and do things together as a team.” Bischoff led the team against Delaware with 12 points and three 3-pointers and Andy Yazrombek had 10 points with two 3s. Nick Archer had six points.
“We really have good team chemistry because we have known each other for a couple of years,” said senior Frank Longhino, who also scored six points against the Pacers. “We’ve all been playing well together. No one is bigger than our individual selves.” Bischoff said the chemistry See BOYS, page B3
2010: The Year In Review
Off-field tragedy, upsets among top stories No. 1: Watterson’s T.J. 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.
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.

On Feb. 2, a few dozen high school football players from central Ohio will be among the thousands nationally who officially make their college decisions known. For many, signing a letter of intent will be nothing more than a formality to complete what has been known for months, and sometimes even years. Accepting a scholarship offer can JARROD seem like a ULREY no-brainer for some players such as Westerville Central senior tight end Nick Vannett, one of the country’s best at his position who said last July that playing for Ohio State would be “truly a dream come true.” Most, of course, don’t have it that easy. In the high-stakes world of prep recruiting, athletes are getting scholarship offers at younger ages than ever before. When you’re a school from a BCS conference such as the Big Ten, having an early plan for how you’ll fill out your 2011 recruiting class — and for that matter, those in 2012 and 2013 — is just good business strategy. This trend hasn’t been without its obstacles for college football programs, which often are left in limbo until the official signing day or later waiting for athletes to make up their minds. In late October, Dublin Coffman senior quarterback Cole Stoudt verbally committed to Wyoming, only to announce 10 days later that he would sign with Clemson. Pickerington North senior tight end Darien Bryant, after being wooed for months by schools that included Hawaii, North Carolina and West Virginia, verbally committed to Nebraska on Dec. 16. Less than 48 hours later, Bryant backed out of the commitment. The stories of Bryant and Stoudt are similar to dozens of others throughout the nation, as teenagers attempt to make decisions that will affect their lives for years to come. Could there be a way to make these decisions easier? Having more options would help. That’s what college basketball permits. Players are able to sign with their respective programs in November or in April if they’re still undecided. Why not add a football signing period in early August for those whose decision is firm? This would allow recruiters to focus on the remaining athletes throughout their senior seasons. Think that’s too early? Players could be allowed to sign in October, which would encourage those considering enrolling in January to finalize their decision. Another option would be to allow players to sign in mid-DeSee ULREY, page B2

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 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 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 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 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

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.
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 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.� 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

sion 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 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.
