Burd tapped for county elections job Councilman will become deputy director of board of elections; still plans to retain local office By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Reynoldsburg City Council member Nathan Burd will become deputy director of the Franklin County Board of Elections on Friday, Jan. 7, succeeding fellow Republican Matthew Damschroder. Damschroder has served as deputy director since March 2008. He resigned to become deputy assistant in the office of incoming Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted.
The Franklin County Board of Elections consists of two Democrats and two Republicans appointed by the secretary of state to staggered four-year terms. The board oversees all facets of election laws in Franklin County. Burd, 33, was elected to Reynoldsburg City Council in November 2009. He currently serves as executive director of the Franklin County Republican Party, which will have to appoint someone to replace him in that position. He will be working with board of elec-
tions director William Anthony Jr. to oversee one of the 25 largest elections jurisdictions in the country. The Franklin County Board of Elections serves about Nathan Burd 819,000 voters. Burd, who was chosen from among 25 candidates, will be paid $111,592 a year as deputy director, the same salary as Anthony.
He said he fully intends to fulfill his term on Reynoldsburg’s City Council, which won’t end until 2013. “If I am in this position three years, then I will not be able to run for re-election because the Ohio Revised Code says someone in this position can’t run for public office,” Burd said of his appointment. Because he already holds a public office, he can continue to do so, he said. “I just won’t be able to be on the ballot again,” he said. “My term doesn’t end
until 2013 and if I am still in this job by that time, I will not be able to seek reelection to city council.” Burd said he will remain in the deputy director’s post “as long as it makes sense,” especially after being reassured he could serve out the rest of his city council term. “Franklin County is one of the largest voting jurisdictions in the country … and for someone like me, elections are important,” he said when asked why he See BURD, page A3

Reynoldsburg development director Lucas Haire said increased local development signals an improving economy.
Haire: Development increased in 2010 By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Based on 2010 development activity in Reynoldsburg, city development director Lucas Haire said he thinks the economy is turning a corner. Haire said 38 new businesses opened in Reynoldsburg last year, compared to 24 in 2009.
He said the 38 businesses opening occupy 150,000 square feet of space and brought $4.8million to Reynoldsburg from either new construction or remodeling. Haire said those figures are important because if business owners are interested in investing that kind of money, they plan to stay awhile. “They’re planning on being here awhile and planning on recouping the costs that are in-
volved and also it’s putting people to work,” Haire said. “There’s more confidence in the economy, consumers are feeling a little more positive, people are out there spending a little more money and banks are lending more money to private businesses,” he said. Haire said of the 38 businesses, the only See DEVELOPMENT, page A2
Reynoldsburg director of engineering Jim Miller said accomplishments n 2010 set the stage for what he called “a full plate” in 2011. “I know I’ve got a full plate this year … I’ve got a full plate for two people,” Miller said. Completing the design plans last year to rebuild Summit Road means the actual construction can begin this spring and be finished by the end of the year, he said. The project will complement two new schools the Reynoldsburg school district is currently building along Summit Road, he said. The total cost of the Summit Road project is $3.5-million, Miller said, with 75 percent of it eligible for reimbursement through an Ohio Public Works Commission grant. Miller said the 75 percent amounts to $2,626,500 of the total cost, with the remaining 25 percent, or $875,000, to be paid by the city and the school district. The city’s portion is $645,000 and the school district’s share is $230,000. In preparation for work this year, city council approved contracts in December for the 2011 storm water projects. Miller said he will be identifying the streets involved sometime this month. He said 2010 saw the completion of the final phase of the Rosehill Road reconstruction project, which extended from the city’s corporation limit near East Broad Street south to Rosedale Road. Miller said the city’s 2010 street program, completed last fall, included milling, paving and sealing cracks on 12 streets throughout Reynoldsburg. He said fewer streets will be included in this year’s project. “I’ve got a list of about 25 streets and I need to go out and measure them up and get cost figures. When I know my budget for them, I can figure out See CITY ENGINEER, page A2
eSTEM students prepare for Jan. 28 roller-coaster challenge By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers While most Reynoldsburg High School students were off during winter break, a group of eSTEM students dedicated their time to designing roller coasters. Three scale models built by the 30 eSTEM students will be entered in a statewide contest Jan. 28 at COSI. STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) school administrator Leslie Kelly said the collaborative design project is funded by the Ohio STEM Learning Network and brings the RHS students together with those in nine other STEM schools in Ohio to promote STEM initiatives, enhance

teaching and learning and create a network-based infrastructure. The task for the 30 eSTEM students who volunteered for the project is to construct three scale roller coaster models, each on a 4-foot by 5-foot plywood platform, using specific materials such as plastic PVC pipes for the frame and special tubing for the tracks, Kelly said.
The coasters will also include features such as vertical loops, horizontal loops and a bunny hop hill. Kelly said the finished coasters will be three feet high. A small nylon ball, about the size of a large marble, is dropped onto each track and travels the length of the coaster to its drop-off point. She said once the coasters are completed, the kids will mathematically determine the G-force and velocity of the ball as it travels along each of the tracks. That data will be used during the Jan. 28 competition, in which COSI judges will place electronic sensors on the coasters that will calculate the actual velocity of the ball See CHALLENGE, page A4

DEVELOPMENT Continued from page A1 completely new building constructed was for the IHOP restaurant at 2413 Taylor Square Drive. The rest filled existing space, which he said will be the main focus going forward for the city. “We are seeking new buildings to be built, but that is not the main focus,” he said. “Our main focus is trying to refill some of the existing vacant spaces that are already out there. Reynoldsburg has a lot of affordable available space.” Haire said 91.5 percent of the 2.5 million square feet of retail space in the city is occupied, leaving only 8.5 percent vacant, compared to 12.5 percent in 2009. He said it would not be realistic to see retail occupancy reach the 100 percent mark, but noted that Reynoldsburg’s retail vacancy rate is lower than the regional average which is around 11 percent. One highlight for 2010 was the opening of a Valu King grocery store on East Livingston Avenue, where a Big Bear grocery store was located, Haire said. He said this drew additional new businesses to the Brice Road and East Livingston Avenue area. “It definitely spurred interest in that area,” he said. “Out of those 38 businesses that opened up in 2010, 18 opened up in the Brice Road and Livingston Avenue area. There’s still more to be done there, but that‘s one of the areas that we will continue to focus on.” Haire said another highlight that arose in late 2010 and will be a focus in 2011 will be the drafting of a strategic plan for the old Reynoldsburg area, which is expected to be introduced sometime this month or next. He said as the city has contin-
ued to grow, the old Reynoldsburg area has become the geographic center of the city once again but is underutilized. The focus of the strategic plan will be to create a vision for what old Reynoldsburg could and should be in the future, Haire said. “What we will be looking at is primary areas for redevelopment in that area, what makes sense for redevelopment,” Haire said. “We’ll be focusing on marketing and a lot of little things that can add up to a big change and make the area more attractive for investment and reinvestment.” Haire added one basis of a strategic plan for the old Reynoldsburg area came from feedback from the community. “At one point, that was the center and heart of the community. It lost its luster over the years as other development expanded to Brice Road and down off of Route 256 and the Taylor Square Shopping Center,” Haire said. Another highlight for the new year is an electricity aggregation program city council approved in December, Haire said. The program is being offered through First Energy Solutions Corp. Haire said it will provide a discount only on the generation of a consumer’s electric service — 5 percent for residential service, 15 percent for commercial. “That’s obviously a major program for the city, and we hope to have letters go out to consumers later this month explaining what the program is and the savings,” Haire said. He said the term of the contract with First Energy is for two years. It is an “opt out” participation program, meaning eligible residents and businesses need to do nothing to participate.
College note Haire said he plans to continue his communication with the Reynoldsburg Area Chamber of Commerce with respect to new businesses opening. In December, chamber president Jan Hills said she wants to increase membership and forge a relationship with the city’s development department in order to make businesses welcome. Currently, the chamber has 310 members, a decline from a peak of 385 in 2006, largely due to conditions in the economy. Hills said she would like to see those numbers grow in 2011. She said dialogue with the development department about new businesses that plan to open in Reynoldsburg will assist the chamber in welcoming them into the community and hopefully help to grow membership. Haire said he is confident more new businesses will be attracted to the city in 2011, and said he is in a number of discussions already with new businesses but could not reveal many details. “There’s a lot of people interested in Reynoldsburg,” he said. “We have people interested in relocating into existing spaces and people that want to build new spaces. I think we’ll see more new buildings built this year, more than the one built in 2010. We‘ve got potential on East Main Street, on Route 256 and on East Broad Street. “We’re continuing to work on all of those,” Haire said. “It brings new revenue to the city, new employment opportunities, new opportunities for people to shop and eat and it makes the community a more attractive place to live.” dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
what is best to do with what I have,” Miller said. He said streets ultimately chosen will be picked based on a number of factors, including their condition, traffic volume, the number of complaints the city receives about each, the road’s ability to convey storm water and how many more years each road has left if nothing is done. Miller said design and construction improvements on water and sanitary sewer lines throughout the city will begin this spring. The city had hoped to get an

Ohio Public Works Commission grant in 2010 to pay 75 percent of the costs of upgrading Brice Road from East Main Street to the corporation limit. The price tag for the entire project was expected to be around $4-million. The application didn’t score high enough for funding, but Miller said Reynoldsburg may stand a better chance if it seeks OPWC help again this year. “I think we’d be foolish not to,” he said. “Our application

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.

every child needs to be able to learn how to read and play,� she said. “So a lot of what we work on is letter recognition and vocabulary and sounds. “We’re sharing books in a very fun way that the children will want to pick up other books,� she said. The Preschool Storytime is for children ages 3 to 6. Barok said the program involves reading longer and more sophisticated stories. Family Storytime program is for all ages and involves reading stories catered to the ages of children who show up to participate. “A lot of times we get elementary aged children, but it’s tailored to whoever shows up,� Barok said. “If it’s a very young crowd, we’re going to read books that are shorter, or if it’s an older crowd, we’ll tailor it that way.� Barok has a lot of experience in the library business having worked for the Columbus Metropolitan Library since 1987. She started working at the Reynoldsburg branch this past November after being in charge of the team services at the Gahanna library for about two years. Barok said reading programs offered at the library are important because they provide an initial boost to help children learn and become good readers. “I think it’s a building block for the children to have a love of reading and success in school later on,� she said. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The Reynoldsburg branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library will offer story time programs for children of all ages beginning Jan. 10. The library, 1402 Brice Road, has offered specialized reading programs to help children learn to become good readers. “We want to get the word out that we have these great story times going on and they are not only a chance to learn but also to have fun,� said children’s librarian Cassandra Barok, manager of youth services at the branch. The programs are all free. The schedule runs from Jan. 10 through April 30 and involves four separate weekly programs, each running about one hour. Baby Laptime begins at 11 a.m. each Tuesday, Toddler Storytime begins at 10 a.m. every Monday and Thursday, Preschool Storytime is scheduled at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and 11 a.m. on Wednesdays and Family Storytime starts at 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Barok said the Baby Laptime program is for children up to 18 months old and is basically intended to introduce babies to books. It includes a variety of activities, sometimes with music, followed by a play time period. “It’s all geared towards boosting your child’s ability to learn, stimulating and letting them hear words in different ways, whether we’re singing them or saying them,� Barok said. “It’s also as simple as having them learn to open a book and turning the pages. It’s not complicated words but words like ‘bunny’ and what is the bunny doing?� Barok said the Toddler Storytime program is for ages 18 months to 3 years and includes short stories and songs and games. “We have an initiative called Ready to Read where we’re trying to get the basic foundation that

In addition, she said the students will need to come up with a marketing plan for their roller coasters and will have to look at cost-effectiveness. The students will continue to spend time inside and outside of class in the next two weeks to complete the roller coasters and their analyses in time for the competition, Kelly said. “This is our first Ohio STEM design challenge, so we want to see how the kids do,” Kelly said. “It’s not just an opportunity for them to win prizes, but an opportunity for them to share with each other what they did,” She said advisers on the projects are eSTEM arts integration teacher Thomie Timmons and science teacher Melissa Ladowitz,
who also have spent extra time with the kids outside of class to work on the projects. “They spent a lot of time, and they give up their time regularly to do this, but it is so much fun to watch these kids come up with these designs and do the things they are doing,” she said. The eSTEM academy is the first of four STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) academies to be launched at Reynoldsburg High School. The remaining three, expected to open for the 2011-12 school year, are the Academy of Business, Leadership, and Law; the Health, Science, Human Services and Education Academy; and the Encore of Reynoldsburg Academy.

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

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.

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

Raiders progressing faster than expected By KEN KITCHEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Before the season, Reynoldsburg High School girls basketball coach Jack Purtell said his team would be a work in progress. The Raiders were coming off a 216 season in which they advanced to a Division I state semifinal for the first time in program history. But despite having one freshman, three sophomores and only one senior in the starting lineup, Reynoldsburg is
off to a fast start, having won 10 of its first 11 games. The Raiders defeated two-time defending OCC-Ohio Division champion Pickerington North 52-38 on Dec. 17 and won all three games over the holiday break at the Basketball Brothers Inc. Invitational in Fort Myers, Fla. They won their three games in Florida by an average score of 63-42 against what Purtell deemed to be quality opponents. Reynoldsburg’s lone loss was a 3429 decision at Kettering Fairmont —
also a Division I state semifinalist last season — on Nov. 27. “This team has progressed quicker than I thought we would have,” Purtell said. “The team works hard, they like each other and everyone has accepted their roles.” Kacia Grant, the lone senior, was named MVP of the Sapphire Division at the Basketball Brothers Inc. Invitational, scoring 17 points in all three games. Purtell said Grant played solid defense in the tournament and had nine
assists and six steals in a 69-59 win over Tampa (Fla.) Jefferson in the first round on Dec. 28. Freshman post player Alyssa Rice also was named to the all-tournament team after totaling 38 points in three games. Junior Aliyah Zantt was third on the team in scoring in Florida with 37 points, followed by sophomore Shiloh Murphy (33), junior Adesuwa Aideyman (24) and sophomores Destini Cooper (21) and Yamonie Jenkins (17). Grant said the Raiders may not have
“got it” early in the preseason, but now they do. “In scrimmages, we weren’t a team,” Grant said. “But we’ve come together and have been sharing the ball, and we built chemistry which is helping now. The way everything has come together so far has surprised me and a lot of people.” In addition to the starters, Purtell said his first two players off the bench are playing well. See GIRLS, page B3

Rapid weight loss is concern
Raiders find key pieces to fill voids

“(Coach Chris Rider) pulled us in and talked to us about our roles one day in practice,” Kirksey said. “Varsity is way different than (junior varsity). We’re a young team, but we’re coming together. Coach told me I’m supposed to be a scorer along with Wendell (Davis) and R.J. (Raglin).” Kirksey said his offense has shown significant improvement over the past two seasons while playing at the freshman and junior varsity levels. He also competes in the offseason for a Hidden Gems AAU team that includes juniors such as Jordan Cowgill of Thomas Worthington, Nick Archer of Olentangy Liberty and Isaiah Brooks and Kai Turner of Walnut Ridge. On Dec. 28 against Dresden Tri-Valley, Kirksey made a pair of free throws with 51.1 seconds left after being intentionally fouled to give the Raiders a seven-point lead on the way to a 52-43 victory. Kirksey led with 18 points and four rebounds. Raglin also made a pair of free throws during the final minute to help seal the win on the way to finishing with nine points, four rebounds and five assists. Kirksey and Rider agree that defensive play is an area in which Kirksey needs to improve during the remaining conference schedule. In the meantime, Rider is pleased with Kirksey’s progress on the offensive end.

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 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. “It’s shocking,” said Gahanna senior forward Chris Davis. “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 title 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

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.
a multitude of questions about things coming into this year.” Davidson dedicated the 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.” 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 , also was named McDonald’s AllAmerican, Jordan Brand AllAmerican 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. He scored 22 points and had seven rebounds in the East all-star team’s 107-104 loss to the West. Satch Sullinger, Jared’s father and Northland’s coach, was the 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 opportu-

nity 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. RIGHT ON TRACK: The Reynoldsburg girls track and field team defied the odds by winning a second consecutive Division I state championship. Despite the fact that their participation dropped by more than 50 percent from the 2009 season, the Raiders scored 56 points at the state meet that concluded June 5 at Ohio State to finish well ahead of runner-up Rocky River Magnificat (35). After losing a large senior class and having two key expected returnees transfer, Reynoldsburg had fewer than a dozen athletes competing by season’s end. Yet, led by sophomore Destinee Gause, the Raiders were able to defend their state title. Gause was disqualified at state in the 100 meters preliminaries because of a false start, but she won her second consecutive 200 title (24.07 seconds) and led the 400 relay (47.24) and 1,600 relay (3:48.87) to titles.

“You lose some and you win some,” said sophomore Faith Washington, who was second at state in the 300 hurdles (43.28), fourth in the 100 hurdles (14.7) and ran on the runner-up 800 relay (1:40.4) and the 1,600 relay. “This year we gained some mature young freshmen, so losing what we did (from the 2009 season) didn’t really matter as much.” The Hartley girls team narrowly missed winning its second consecutive Division II state title, as it scored 71 points to place second behind Cleveland Collinwood (77) and ahead of third-place Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy (57). Collinwood had competed in Division I in 2009. That season, the Hawks shared the state title with Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy, as both teams scored 55 points. “I can’t take anything away from Collinwood. They put up the points,” coach Richard Jones said. “If we can put up almost 80 points and a team beats us, then they deserve to win.” Though the team championship eluded Hartley, the Hawks won individual titles and broke a meet record in the 1,600 relay. Senior Chesna Sykes won the 100 (11.97) and 200 (24.22) and was on the winning 400 relay (47.37) with CharAnna Dixon, Chelsea Scott and Jordyn Smith. Sykes also was on the secondplace 800 relay (1:41.1) with Aisha Cavin, Dixon and Maya Pedersen. The 1,600 relay of Taisha Ferguson, Cavin, Pedersen and Scott finished first in 3:49.94, breaking the previous meet record of 3:50.08 set by Warrensville Heights in 2009. QUITE A SPLASH: The Upper Arlington girls swimming and diving team won its sixth consecutive Division I state title, scoring 295 points to finish ahead of runner-up Watterson (186) in February at the C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. The Golden Bears won only one event, the 200-yard medley relay, but had swimmers finish in the top eight in every event.

edging Centerville (1:46.67). Abby Chin placed second in four events: the 500 freestyle (4:53.6), 200 free (1:51.24), 200 free relay (1:35.97) and 400 free relay (3:29.67). Watterson’s Gracie Finnegan, capped a dominant career by winning four more state titles to finish with eight for her career. She defended her titles in the 50 free (23.2) and 100 free (50.06) and anchored the Eagles’ 200 free relay (1:35.08) and 400 free relay (3:27.09) to first-place finishes. Also on the relays were Camey Rabold, Michele Rielly and Samantha Schuttinger. “(Defending my state titles) definitely added pressure, but I came in knowing it’s my senior year,” Finnegan said. “I kind of wanted to go out with a bang and break some records. But I had great competition and I had a great time. It was real fun.” THREE-PEAT: The Lakewood softball team won its third consecutive state championship, defeating Poland Seminary 1-0 in the Division II state final on June 4. Third baseman Kelsi Thompson led the Lancers’offense, producing two of their five hits, including a home run. Pitcher Alyssa Patznick went seven innings, allowing six hits and one walk. Lakewood finished 29-5. The Lancers’other two titles came in Division III, as they beat Youngstown Ursuline 5-0 in 2009 and defeated Wellington 5-3 in 2008. Grove City reached the state final in Division I, losing to Massillon Perry 10-0 on June 5 to finish 28-5. ACES ON THE COURT: Central Ohio players swept the Division I and II state titles in the boys tennis tournament on May 29 at Ohio State. Worthington Kilbourne senior Kevin Metka defeated Liberty Township Lakota East’s Zack Mueck 7-6 (11-9), 6-3 in the Division I singles final, marking his second state title. Metka was part of the Division I doubles championship team in 2009. Watterson junior Chris Diaz, who won the Division I doubles title in 2008 with his brother, Philip, and placed second in doubles in 2009, cruised through the Division II singles field without

losing a set in any of his four matches. He beat defending state champion Joey Fritz of Cincinnati Country Day 6-3, 6-2 in the final. Diaz finished 31-0 in singles matches without losing a set and has a 62-1 career record in high school singles matches. He has won a team-record 62-consecutive singles matches. Upper Arlington won its staterecord 15th doubles championship but first since 1999 when junior Billy Weldon and freshman Stu Little defeated New Albany’s Riyad Bennoui and John Hendrix 6-4, 6-1 in the Division I final. For only the 10th time in the 91-year history of the boys state tournament, a pair of doubles teams from one school matched up against each other in the final when senior Andrew Enslen and sophomore Chad Buchanan of Columbus Academy played senior Eoghan Bahnson and sophomore Langston Hughes, also from Academy. Enslen and Buchanan topped their teammates 6-3, 6-4. BROTHERLY LOVE: After trading the state pole vault record with his twin brother, Joey, for much of the season, Olentangy Liberty junior Chris Uhle topped his sibling at the Division I state track and field meet on June 5 at Ohio State. Chris cleared 16 feet, 9 inches to win the state title and break his brother’s state record by an inch. Joey placed second at state in 16-0. Dublin Scioto’s Michael Shibko was third (15-8) and Gahanna’s Jacob Blankenship was fourth (15-8). “I never like knocking Joey down, but getting the state record was amazing,” Chris Uhle said. “After he missed his third attempt, I was thinking, ‘This is my show. If I clear this, I’ll get first place.’” Joey cleared 16-5 on April 13 but the height wasn’t recognized by the OHSAA because it was set in a dual meet. Chris cleared 16-6 at Liberty’s Freedom Relays on April 23 to set the official record, but the brothers shared the mark after they both cleared 16-7 at the Olentangy Invitational on April 30. Joey then owned the record by himself after clearing 16-8 at the Delaware County Elite Eight meet on May 6.

WRESTLING Continued from page B1 Since this formula determines where athletes can wrestle once the season starts, Van Gundy meets with prospective team members early in the fall to determine where they might fit in the lineup once the season begins. This helps wrestlers establish a goal weight and they can use the fall to trim down before getting certified, unless they’re playing a fall sport. Getting in shape for wrestling is especially difficult for football players. At the heavier weights, football and wrestling have some shared benefits, but most of the weight classes would be considered small for football players. By Tim Norman/ThisWeek The need for some to lose weight had Hilliard Davidson senior Nolan Gill (right) battles Mark Martin of Lakewood some like Pickerington Central coach Jason Allen calling for a later start to the St. Edward in a first-round match at 135 pounds during the Division I state tournament last season. Gill was listed at 174 pounds as a football player for wrestling season.

assessor to run the weight certification tests. Perhaps no school in the area deals with the dichotomy of football and wrestling conditioning like Hilliard Davidson. In wrestling, Davidson won the Division I district championship last season and was chosen to represent the Central District at the state duals on Jan. 9. However, three of Davidson’s four state qualifiers last year were members of the football team, which won the Division I state championship in 2009 and made it to a state semifinal this past fall. Had Davidson won its state football semifinal on Nov. 27, wrestling state qualifiers Chase Delande, Nolan Gill and Alex Mickley would have been playing football on Dec. 4, the same day that the wrestling team opened its season. Because he played football at a lighter weight, Delande was able to join the wrestling team for the opener on Dec.
4, but Gill and Mickley didn’t make their debuts until Dec. 28. Coach Dominic DiSabato had to put off filing weight certifications until Gill and Mickley were able to reach their target weights. Not only did the pair miss nearly a month of the season, but Davidson also had to postpone a Dec. 16 dual with West Jefferson until Jan. 26. Mickley was listed at 170 pounds on the football roster and is wrestling at 152. Gill was listed at 174 for football and is competing at 140 for wrestling. “My first day back I lost like five pounds, and then the next day it was another five pounds,” Mickley said Dec. 16. “Then the next day I would eat the littlest thing and be right back up. Last week was tough, but this week the weight really started dropping.” jstewart@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

“The key to this team might be our two juniors (Zantt and Aideyman) who come off the bench,” Purtell said. “They could start for us and they would start for almost every team we play.
