Council approves 2011 appropriations McGregor, McAlister vote against ordinance that shows $585,847 deficit By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna City Council began its new year Jan. 3 by approving the 2011 budget appropriations without consensus; however, all members pledged financial prudence for the future. The budget was approved 4-2, with Beryl Anderson, Shane Ewald, Brian Larick and David Samuel voting yes and John McAlister and Nancy McGregor
dissenting. The administration had proposed — and council approved — using money that each city department had identified as cost-saving measures, totaling $726,000, that were returned to the general fund to balance the appropriations. According to finance director Angel Mumma, the city’s 2011 general fund showed a deficit of $585,847, with $22,419,142 in revenue and $23,004,989 in expenses.
McGregor voted against the appropriations ordinance, saying it still has a structural deficit with the city spending more than its income. “When Gahanna citizens have their incomes cut, they have to cut expenses,” she said. “I think Gahanna should lead the way and show we can cut our own expenses.” McAlister said the only place he sees to cut is salary and benefits. “I’m for that, but our hands are tied on
the largest part,” he said. “We have contracts out of our control. I will vote no and keep looking at it.” Ewald said he doesn’t disagree with his colleagues who voted no. “I’m not willing to shut the government down to make a political point,” he said. “I appreciate the position of my peers. The mayor and directors will continue discussing it throughout the year. … Maybe some state law will change in June that would have an impact mid-year.”

Kneeland leaves council to take city IT position By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Longtime Gahanna City Council member Tom Kneeland has resigned his at-large council seat to accept the city’s position of information-technology (IT) director beginning Jan. 10. His base salary will be $82,162, according to human-resources director Kristen Treadway, who said that salary is the market rate for that particular position. The total annual cost for his position, including health, dental, vision, life and Medicare insurance and retirement and workers’compensation, will be about $116,557. Kneeland, who served as Tom Kneeland 2010 council president, called the move a “bittersweet” change in his life. “I’m at a point where legislatively I accomplished the goals I set for myself over almost 18 years,” he said. “This was an obvious transition to me to realize a final goal in helping the IT department move to the next level.” Kneeland began his political career in 1992 as Ward 1 council representative until 2001. After five terms as a Ward 1 council member, he took a short absence to finalize retirement from then SBC, the local telephone company, where he

The Gahanna-Jefferson Education Foundation recently funded about $35,000 in mini-grants, and it’s looking to the 2011 “Celebration of Excellence” to fill more requests. Dale Foor, foundation president/G-J schools community-services coordinator, said the grants would support a wide range of projects to benefit district programs. Blacklick Elementary School will receive $2,500 for 12 digital cameras and $2,500 for hands-on science activities. Chapelfield will receive $300 each for health snacks for students in after-school intervention programs, DVDs for positive-behavior intervention support plans and fitness- and physical-education programs, $1,407 for “smart” response clickers, $559 for Project Biz participation and $1,385 for science small group. Goshen Lane will get $300 each for fifth-grade camp, materials to assist at-risk students, math “camp in” supplies and math intervention supplies, $2,100 for a natureclassroom camp trip and $1,385 for science small groups. Jefferson will receive $300 for after-school reading programs, $278 for digital books for at-risk students, $500 for an iPad and $2,500 for mp3 players with video recorders.
Samuel agreed that the 2011 appropriations involve a “Band-Aid” approach but that council would continue to scrutinize finances. “We have a good group working for Gahanna,” he said. “Unions, you need to step forward and help us out.” Samuel said council would continue discussions with the citizens financial advisory committee.

Get Moving Team
Walking group started to help residents get fit By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna residents are invited to join a walking group called the Get Moving Team (GMT) every Saturday morning at Creekside. The GMT meets throughout the year and trains for such walking events as the Columbus half marathon. GMT leader Liz Plott plans to walk a half marathon on the Great Wall of China in May. “I enjoy walking marathons,” Plott said. “I love walking and have walked 70-plus marathons or half marathons since 1995.” Gahanna parks-rec superintendent Mike Musser said Plott, 60, is responsible for more weight loss in the community than anyone he knows.
“She has See related story, helped a lot of page A3 people reach personal goals,” he said. Plott said a key to reaching personal health objectives is to establish realistic goals. In addition, she said, people need to eat healthful foods. “You can occasionally have something you want that is not the healthiest thing See WALKING, page A2 By Tim Norman/ThisWeek

Jefferson Township has been awarded a $500,000 Ohio Public Works Commission grant to improve a dangerous curve where Shull and Headley roads meet. The nearly 90-degree turn has been the site of several fatalities and many serious accidents, township administrator Tom Spring said last week. The road narrows at the curve, where it crosses a small concrete culvert. The guardrails that protect vehicles from ending up in the culvert were replaced at least three times last year, Spring said. The grant, administered by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, is the first OPW Local Transportation Infrastructure Program grant the township has received. It requires no local matching funds and Spring said it is expected to cover the cost of design and engineering work as well as the actual road construction. Spring said the project is likely to include widening the road and bridge as well as lengthening the guardrail and other improvements to the paved surface. He said he expects the money to be available starting in July.

WALKING KNEELAND but only on occasion,” Plott said. She encourages following federal guidelines to eat fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, dairy and healthy oils. “If you start eating healthy, you will not crave all the junk foods,” she said. “You have to learn to eat healthy and find some exercise that you enjoy.” Plott said a support group where all members have the same goal — like learning to eat healthy and enjoying exercise — is very important. “That’s what makes Weight Watchers work for its members,” she said. “That is what makes the Gahanna Get Moving Team work.” Plott said the GMT has fostered great friendships, in addition to helping members exercise. “I personally enjoy watching people reach their personal goals, like a number on the scale when they weigh in that they have been wanting to see for a long time or watching someone go over the finish line for a marathon, half marathon or a 5K,” she said. “Success is contagious.” The GMT has expanded to more than 100 members strong. The GMT is open to all individuals over age 16 and for people of all abilities. Membership cost is $20 annually and includes a T-shirt. During the winter, the GMT meets at 8 a.m. Saturdays at Creekside, next to Crazy Goat Coffee. mkuhlman @thisweeknews.com
CURVE Continued from page A1 In other business, the Jefferson Township trustees will hold a public hearing Jan. 11 at 6 p.m. to discuss a proposed modification to an existing development plan for the Woods at Jefferson Run, off Waggoner Road. Township zoning administrator Charles McCroskey said the modification application was prompted by recent economic conditions and will reduce the number of homes in the subdivision. The 156-acre development was originally approved in the early part of the decade and was to have 582 detached condominiums, built by Dominion Homes, as well as 95 traditional single-family homes, built by M/I Homes. However, McCroskey said, 255 of Dominion’s detached condominiums were never built. Instead, he said, Dominion is asking for approval for a plan modification that instead calls for 167 traditional single-family homes to be constructed on the remaining undeveloped 38.6 acres. Township trustees’ next meeting was to be in special session on Tuesday, Jan. 4. The agenda for the annual organizational meeting included electing board officers and setting the townships permit and zoning fee schedule for 2011.

Continued from page A1 was a transport technical-support manager and engineer working with high-capacity fiber-optic networks and digital transmission systems. Kneeland returned to the political arena in late 2003 to run for office as an at-large council member, and he has served two terms in that position. For the past two-and-a-half years, Kneeland has worked as technology director for Whitehall. Gahanna public-information manager Brian Hoyt said the city has been trying to fill the IT position since April, when Grant Reveal left to take another position. Kneeland said he had considered the Gahanna opening, but he didn’t want to leave Whitehall until it had someone in place. “I hired the person who’s (at Whitehall) now,” he said. “Prior
COUNCIL to that, I couldn’t leave them. I felt too committed to them, and I had projects I was working on with them.” His last day of working for Whitehall will be Friday, Jan. 7. Kneeland was an integral part of Gahanna’s Community Improvement Corporation (CIC), establishing a fiber-optic network agreement with Bluemile Inc. of Columbus last fall. The deal is expected to generate revenue for the CIC to potentially go to the city coffers for economic development, Kneeland said. He has served as council representative on the CIC, and he hopes to stay involved with the group, he said. Kneeland said he decided to make his resignation effective Dec. 31, saying council was voting on the 2011 appropriations, including the IT position, on Jan. 3. “I didn’t want anything that ap-
peared ethically improper,” he said. “Rather than me vote on appropriations which would include payroll for my position, I thought it was best to leave before I was in that position.” Council has until Feb. 3 to fill Kneeland’s council seat. The term runs through Dec. 31, 2011. The person who fills the seat would have to run for election in November to retain the seat. Council is accepting letters of interest for the at-large council seat. Anyone interested must be a continuous qualified elector of the city for at least 90 days to be appointed to the seat. Interested applicants should submit a resume and a letter of interest to Isobel Sherwood, clerk of council, city of Gahanna, 200 S. Hamilton Road, Gahanna, 43230 or by e-mail to isobel.sherwood@gahanna.gov. Deadline for submission is Jan. 13.

I look forward to a challenging but good 2011.” McAlister said finances would remain on the front burner. “I’ll put forth an ordinance to the general assembly and governor,” he said. “Let’s get it done and give villages and cities relief from outrageous benefits being paid.” Council elected Samuel as president for 2011.

Fitness options abound in Gahanna By MARLA K. KUHLMAN
“
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna residents have a variety of options to fulfill New Year’s resolutions when seeking healthier lifestyles or making a difference in their community. Christopher Angellatta, executive director of the Gahanna Y branch, said several opportunities are available from the Y’s standpoint. “We have great starter fitness programs,” he said. “They are all scheduled things by class time or one-on-one personal training type stuff. That’s what we can do and we’re known to do. “We’re also a great place to volunteer, working with kids and teenagers if that’s something as far as a New Year’s resolution.” Angellatta mentioned specialty classes — tae kwon do — as well as a wide variety of programs for kids. “We also offer organized recreational things for those who want to spend more time with family,” he said. “There are parentchild classes, including tumbling for the younger children. It’s probably on someone’s list to spend more time with family. They can swim together, and we have other general recreational things.” The Y’s group weight-loss program has become very popular, according to Angellatta. “It’s a program that combines group fitness and nutrition,” he said. “We have a registered dietician. It’s super popular and it helps hold people accountable.
Without having an indoor facility geared toward fitness, we encourage people to go out and keep moving.
MIKE MUSSER Parks-rec superintendent
“It’s led by Liz Plott, who’s responsible for more weight loss in this community than anyone I know,” Musser said. “She’s a walking guru who has helped a lot of people reach personal goals.” The GMT is open to all individuals over the age of 16, and it’s for people of all abilities. Registration is $20 per year and includes a team shirt and can be done by mail or over the phone 614-342-4250. “The group is multi-faceted with some people who walk for the social aspect and some just want to exercise,” Musser added. Thirteen members of GMT participated in last year’s Columbus half marathon. In addition to the GMT, Musser said Gahanna has one of central Ohio’s top yoga instructors in Sue Johnson. “She has an unbelievable following,” Musser said. “Yoga is offered at our golf course clubhouse. There are different levels. They meet once a week on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.” The seven-week winter session costs $75, beginning on Jan. 11 and continuing through March 1. For adults, the parks & recreation department also offers ballroom dancing for adults, and tumbling classes for youth. “Without having an indoor facility geared toward fitness, we encourage people to go out and keep moving,” Musser said.
They learn how to manage eating better and structure their exercise program. We’ve added a second offering of that. The next session starts the first week in January and lasts seven weeks.” Monthly and yearly memberships are available at the Gahanna branch of the YMCA of Central Ohio. The monthly membership costs $43 plus tax for an adult and $72 plus tax for a family that covers two adults and an unlimited number of children who must be under 24 and live in the same household. Residents can check out the Gahanna YMCA at 555 YMCA Place or by taking a virtual online tour at ymcacolumbus.org/Gahanna. The Gahanna branch currently has over 10,000 youth and adult members. Gahanna parks and recreation superintendent Mike Musser said the city also offers a variety of fitness programs to residents. Every Saturday morning at 8 a.m., the Gahanna Get Moving Team (GMT) (see related story) meets at Creekside for a walk. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com

Commentary and opinion
As it were
Downtown was busy on New Year’s Eve 1910 As Columbus and central Ohio moved toward the end of 2010, the area counted itself fortunate that it had missed the great storms that brought freeze warnings to the citrus-growing South and more than a foot of snow to much of the north. All of this bad news about bad weather is sure to remind us how lucky we are to miss such things. 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 busiED ness district by electrified LENTZ streetcars. It was to the downtown that people came to work, to worship, to shop and to amuse themselves. It was in downtown Columbus that one would find the best stores, the best restaurants and most of the city’s theatres. And almost all of these places were open on New Year’s Eve. The Busy Bee confectionery store was selling several kinds of candy and ice cream. These included Salted Jordan Almonds, Crème de Menthe Marshmallows and New Year’s Neapolitan ice cream. This was described in one newspaper as “a blending of Cherry Glace, Oriental Ice and Belmont Cream.

You will not find a richer or more satisfactory ice cream dessert: per quart, 60 cents.” After dinner at a local restaurant or a bit of ice cream at the Busy Bee, some residents passed the evening of the last day of the year at a local theatre. Some form of motion picture theatre had been present in Columbus since the 1890s. Over the years, nickelodeon parlors had given way to silent film presentations in larger rooms. But to most people, going to the theatre still meant a trip to a place where real people performed on stage. In Columbus in 1910, one could choose from a variety of theatre presentations on New Year’s Eve. The High Street Theatre featured “Harry Clay Blaney in his new American play ‘The Boy from Wall Street,’ an American play that is proving to be one of the greatest comedies ever staged.” Not to be outdone, B. F. Keith’s Theatre offered a play, “When Pat was King,” and vaudeville acts including “the Four Onetti Sisters, the Three Leighton Boys, and Irene Romaine — the dain-

ty 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.

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. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, Miracle Ear, and Beltone, but you will save $1,000’s with us! We take a bite out of the cost of hearing aids!

Keep smiling with these teeth tips As the New Year typically rings in lofty goals, I’ll offer a few reasonable resolutions on which to chew that should keep you healthy too. Oral health and you Dentists, doctors and scientists continue to find relationships between your oral care and overall health. When teeth and gums are healthy fewer bacteria enter the bloodstream and are less likely to contribute to other illnesses. Conversely, important studies point to a direct link between periodontal disease and heart disease.

An innovator in his field, Jeffrey L. Angart, D.D.S., has been practicing for nearly 25 years. He has conducted extensive research and lectured nationally and internationally on cosmetic materials and tooth bonding. A graduate of OSU’s College of Dentistry, he holds a Bachelor of Science in Ceramic Engineering. The Center for Dental Health is a state-of-the-art practice where patients take an active role in their oral health. Dr. Angart’s professional team utilizes leading-edge technology in a serene setting to create a relaxed and calming environment. Custom esthetic crowns and veneers are created in the Center for Dental Arts laboratory which complements the practice.
Periodontitis is caused by bacteria found in dental plaque from chronic gingivitis. The disease compromises the supporting structures, such as bone, around the teeth to weaken and is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. Experts theorize that the bacteria from periodontitis attach to fatty plaque in the coronary arteries, contributing to clots and blockage that cause coronary artery disease. Reasonable resolutions Stick to these tips and enjoy a brighter, healthier smile: • Brush twice a day to remove plaque and prevent decay. Use a pea-sized amount of Fluoridated toothpaste -- more is too abrasive -- and brush all surfaces of your teeth and your tongue. • Use a soft-bristled brush or a Sonicare that is gentle on teeth and gums. Replace the brush or heads for sonic brushes every six to eight weeks, after an illness or if the bristles show wear. • Floss daily. Use a waxed or flat floss to ease the process. Floss holders and picks work well, too. • Schedule cleanings at least twice a year.

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

ence yourself these traumatic events that are often touching very hidden parts of (one’s) self. Naturally, it has given my personality a certain edge — perhaps, an edge is something that an artist could use at times? I certainly hope so. TB: In Columbus, you’ll be playing Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G. Can you talk about this piece? MF: This concerto is a special piece for me. I learned it listening to it for weeks while I was about 12 years old. I was recovering from a traffic accident and wasn’t allowed to read, play or be exposed to a too strong light after the concussion I suffered. So back then, the Ravel concerto was my saviour. After I recovered I had to beg my teacher to let me play it - she wouldn’t at first as she said I was too young. But I learned it anyway. TB:You are very expressive while you play. Are you aware of this?
MF: Thank you. I believe this is one of my goals - when I play I really do attempt to express and give the absolute maximum. TB: As a young “classical” artist, do you feel a responsibility to bring this music to young audiences? MF: I would say, I try to bring music to all possible audiences, not necessarily only the young ones. I have a feeling that, since the appreciation of classical music comes with a certain ‘age and social status,’or at least it is commonly believed to be like that, this idea in the same time scares potential audiences off. But I also have a feeling that classical music is making a ‘comeback’ - maybe people are starting to get intrigued to know more about music that was able to survive through centuries?

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

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

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

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

Butler’s improved defense boosts Lions By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Behind a pair of seniors in the rotation and with a perceived weakness in the area of defense, sophomore Chrishna Butler saw little playing time with the Gahanna Lincoln High School girls basketball team last season. Jill O’Donnell and Casey Salopek, who started at wing and shooting guard, respectively, last season as the Lions won their first Division I district championship since 1998, were members of the 2010 graduating class.
Butler, meanwhile, spent significant time throughout 2009-10 and during the offseason removing the other obstacle in the way of her becoming a key player. Although Butler made three 3-pointers and scored 16 points in a 58-44 win over New Albany in the Gahanna Cage Classic championship game Dec. 30, her defense on Eagles point guard Hannah Scipio also was a key factor in why she was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. “It feels really good,” Butler said while holding her MVP plaque after
the game. “I think our defense helpside was big. In the offseason, I worked on my defense a lot. We do a lot of defensive drills and I think I’ve gotten a lot better since the beginning of the season. “It was a learning experience last year. I really learned a lot watching the seniors, but I’m surprised. I didn’t expect (things to be going so well).” Butler scored nine points in a 4945 victory over Hilliard Davidson on Dec. 29 in the first round of the Cage Classic. Senior guard Tiyona Marshall had 18 points against Davidson and
12 against New Albany to also make the all-tournament team. Butler’s offensive performance against the Eagles marked the sixth time over the Lions’ first nine games that she scored in double figures. She also helped limit Scipio to 12 points on 4-for-13 shooting. Through nine games, Butler was averaging 11.4 points, ranking second on the team behind Marshall (12.7). Last season, Butler scored 10 points in a 59-36 win over Westerville South in the opener but didn’t reach double
figures again and finished with just 40 points on the season. She has been in the starting lineup all this season. “When I first saw Chrishna, I knew she had the offensive skills to play varsity,” coach Rick Hauser said. “The difference is that she’s a much better defensive player. That’s why we had her on (Scipio). She needs to learn a little bit more about playing on-theball defense, but she can shoot and drive to the basket.” Gahanna’s wins in the Cage ClasSee GIRLS, page B4

2010: THE YEAR IN REVIEW Continued from page B1 grin Falls 34-13 in the Division IV state final on Dec. 3 at Massillon’s Paul Brown Tiger Stadium to finish 13-2 and capture its first state championship since 1986. Watterson overcame six turnovers to beat Akron Buchtel 13-12 in the Division III state final on Dec. 4 at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium to finish 13-1 and win its first state title since 2002. Key, the Division IV Player of the Year who rushed for 2,755 yards (8.8 yards per carry) and 40 touchdowns, rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries against Chagrin Falls, which finished 13-2. Omar Lane also had a big game, rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown on six carries. The Hawks went 5for-5 on fourth down, recovered an onside kick and held Chagrin Falls to 159 total yards. “I don’t know if there were a ton of people who picked us to win the game,” Hawks coach Brad Burchfield said. “We taped all the pundits saying that 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 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 ex-

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.
clamation 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
3
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

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.

Hilliard Davidson senior Nolan Gill (right) battles Mark Martin of Lakewood 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 the Wildcats last fall and his wrestling season was delayed until he could lose weight in order to compete at 140 pounds.
Wrestling
Rapid weight loss concerns competitors By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers
philosophy like Jason Hackett, a football player and state champion wrestler for Hamilton Township who graduated in 2003. “Football coaches push size to have bigger, stronger kids,” said Hackett, who now coaches at Hamilton Township’s middle and high schools. “I’d like to see (the hydration test) in the middle of the season. They’ll lose that weight just because they work that hard (in wrestling practice). I loved football and wrestling, but they’re different types of conditioning.” In 2002, Hackett won a Division II state wrestling championship at 171 pounds after he helped the football team make the playoffs. Had the hydration test been in place at that time, Hackett said he wouldn’t have been able to compete at 171. He ended the football season at 205 pounds and needed until January to lose the weight. According to the rules at the time, he had to wrestle half of his matches at his lowest weight to be eligible for the postseason. “It took a lot out of me,” Hackett said of losing the weight. “I really do like how the hydration test is set up. The way I look at it, you might have to bump up a weight, but you’re going to need that strength. You can’t cut weight to where you’re not going to be able to step on the mat.” Hackett also said finding the proper weight class is important. He said moving down in weight can give a wrestler an advantage, because he should have a larger frame and stronger muscles than a competitor who is naturally smaller. Hackett’s success at 171 pounds earned him a scholarship to Arizona State. The need for some to lose weight had some like Pickerington Central coach Jason Allen calling for a later start to the wrestling season. Olentangy coach Matt Hammons wanted to level the playing field by having the OHSAA use the same 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.”
Wrestling is different from other high school sports. If an athlete doesn’t make weight, he doesn’t compete. It is the only team sport in which weight, more than skill, determines a position. That’s why one of the most important times on competition day is the weigh-in. The NCAA and high school athletics associations across the country have tried to stamp out the practice of rapid weight loss since collegiate wrestlers Billy Jack Saylor, Joseph LaRosa and Jeff Reese died trying to make weight in 1997. The OHSAA has been heavily involved in the weigh-in process since the 2006-07 wrestling season. Coaches interviewed by ThisWeek unanimously agreed the OHSAA’s weight certification program has been a positive, but they said there are questions about its effectiveness and its fairness to athletes who also compete in a fall sport. “I think the idea of the (program) is good, but it doesn’t eliminate the severe weight cutting,” Reynoldsburg coach Jared Ball said. “They crash early. The idea now is to be at their weight at the beginning (of the season).” Each of the college wrestling deaths came after a period of extreme weight loss. Reese was trying to get down to the 150-pound weight class and had lost a reported 17 pounds in three days. Severely dehydrated, the Michigan wrestler died in the locker room at Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor as he tried to weigh-in. Saylor, a Campbell University wrestler, and LaRosa, who competed at Wisconsin-La Crosse, died under similar circumstances. The OHSAA’s weight certification program attempts to eliminate rapid weight loss by establishing a minimum weight at which a wrestler can compete during the season. The minimum weight, called the “alpha weight,” takes into account hydration level and body-fat percentage. Teams typically spend an afternoon during the preseason getting the entire roster certified. Wrestlers undergo a urinalysis to prove they are not dehydrated, and once adequate hydration is established, they have their body-fat percentage determined. If a male wrestler’s body fat is 7 percent or less (12 percent or less for females), he is not allowed to wrestle at a weight class lower than his weight at the time of certification. Wrestlers with more than 7 percent body fat are allowed to lose weight, but only in small weekly amounts determined by the OHSAA’s weight-loss formula. “The only guarantee that you’ll be allowed to wrestle at a certain weight is if you weigh in at that weight hydrated,” Ready coach Chance Van Gundy said. “If you’re hydrated at 140 (pounds) with 7 percent body fat, you’ll be able to wrestle 140. But if you weigh 140.1, you have to wrestle up.” 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. jstewart@thisweeknews.com No one knows the difference in conditioning www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

BOYS Continued from page B1 of Gahanna, which outscored its first six foes by an average of 30.3 points. Taylor’s leadership has been among the aspects of the team’s strong start. The only other returnee who saw significant playing time during Gahanna’s 62-50 loss to Massillon Jackson in a Division I state semifinal last season was senior Brandon Smith, who played 10 minutes. Taylor averaged 17.2 points, 3.1 assists and 2.7 steals while making the ThisWeek Super 12 last season. He signed with Ohio
University in November. According to Taylor, the idea of becoming a team leader was something he expected to happen this season. “I’ve known this was going to be my team since my sophomore year ever since my brother (2008 graduate Robbie Taylor) left,” said Taylor, who needs 114 points to become the program’s all-time leading scorer. “He wanted me to be the leader this year. You have to take the good with the bad, but with me going to (Ohio University), I’ve learned what a good shot is.” According to Staib, Taylor is part of a
nine-member senior class that has bought into focusing on bringing defensive pressure as well as sharing the ball. Senior Jamel Morris led the team in scoring twice through seven games, including when he scored 18 against Independence. “We’ve done a good job of jumping out of the gate every night and setting the tone,” Staib said. “This is just a solid group of seniors who have been waiting for their turn.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Lions trailed 20-9 at halftime and were outscored 36-15 over the final two quarters against the Panthers. Butler and Marshall each were held to season-low outputs of three points. “There were some kids who were playing as well as they have all season (against New Albany),” Hauser said. “We only shot one of 12 in the first quarter (against North) and 9for-42 from the floor for the game. Chrishna had three breakaways in the first quarter that she missed on. We beat them up and down the floor in the first half and just didn’t finish, so I guess we learned a little bit about execution from that game.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
