Liberty might seek recycling grant By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Liberty Township trustees might seek a grant that would lead to curbside recycling being offered to residents at a discount. The discussion came up at the trustees’ Jan. 3 meeting, almost two years after residents’ objections killed the idea of a
single townshipwide trash hauler that would have provided curbside recycling. Township residents currently contract with the trash hauler of their choice. Township administrator Dave Anderson said that Delaware, Knox, Marion, Morrow Solid Waste District officials recently asked if trustees would consider applying for a $15,000 grant to begin offering curbside recycling.
DKMM encourages curbside recycling to help reduce the costs of servicing the community recycling bins,Anderson said. Liberty Township has two community recycling sites — at Olentangy Liberty High School and Wyandot Run Elementary School, Larry Cooper, DKMM director, told ThisWeek. Those containers are emptied every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Coop-
er said. Service to those sites annually costs DKMM $45,385 for the high school site and $43,159 for the elementary school site. DKMM budgets $500,000 per year for its community drop-off service. DKMM has offered grants since the mid-1990s, Cooper said. This is the first year “the grant was amended to combine funding support options for local recy-
cling programs, as well as recycling market development projects.” Cooper said the grant process is competitive. DKMM has budgeted $240,000 worth of grants for 2011. “The grant funds are from DKMM and are generated from the district’s $6-perton contract fee on solid waste generatSee RECYCLING, page A2

The Lewis Center United Methodist Church will hold a grand opening for the church’s expansion Sunday, Jan. 16, at 1081 Lewis Center Road. The celebration is titled “O Happy Day!” The first worship service is from 9-9:45 a.m.; a party is from 9:45-10:30 a.m.; dedication of the space is from 10:30-10:45 a.m.; and the second worship is 10:45-11:30 a.m. This is the church’s second expansion since Jan. 16, 2000, when the congregation moved into the then-new building. The expansion increased the building size from about 7,000 square feet to about 12,000 square feet. The expansion is about 5,000 square feet more, said church pastor Lynette Decker. It includes three elementary Sunday school rooms that can be made into one large room; two
practice room for the choirs and bell choirs; a two-room nursery, one for sleeping infants and one for those that are learning to crawl and toddle, with a restroom; and an office for each pastor. What was the former nursery has been turned into a secretary’s office and a workroom for the staff. The fellowship hall has been enlarged and windows have been placed in back of the sanctuary so the fellowship hall can accommodate more people, Decker said. She said, “I came here in 2003 and we had 132 members and 100 people attending services. Now we have 525 members. Over November and December, we were topping 500 ... on Sunday morning. “If you’re in a growing area, you will have lots of visitors, but you will not have members unless you have a vibrant ministry, We’ve got a fantastic staff,” DeckSee CHURCH, page A2
High schools face off with food drive By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Students at Olentangy and Olentangy Liberty high schools are facing off for a noble cause through Saturday, Jan. 29, when the two schools’ basketball teams will play each other. Game time is 4 p.m. at OHS, 675 Lewis Center Road, Lewis Center. Until that day, the student councils of each school are holding canned food drives to help stock the shelves of the area food bank, People in Need of Delaware County. Cans of food will be collected as students arrive at the schools each morning and at the game. The school that brings in the most weight in cans will be declared the winner. The winner will be announced between the third and fourth quarters of the game. Student council advisers Jessica Fields, OLHS, and Gaven Jones, OHS, said the students often hold food drives to help families in need. “The winter tends to be the hardest months for food banks, (and) we decided to hold the food drive contest during a well-attended event,” Jones said. OLHS council administrator Gabriel Marcucci, a senior, said a community’s willingness to be charitable is important. “If one has the ability to take action, then they also have the responsibility to take action. The drive is important to the community because it improves the quality of life for many of its members,” Marcucci said. He added that the Patriots will win be-

cause “they ‘can.’” OHS student council president Chris Cousins, a junior, said the “school gets an outstanding turnout” for the OHS vs. OLHS game, which makes it a great time to hold a food drive. “The food banks need the food, and we get to compete with our rivals,” Cousins said. “The food banks are running low around this time of year so the more we get, the better off people in need are.” He added, “Go Braves!” “Giving can take place even after the holidays ... and should take place yearround,” said OLHS junior Shashank Sirivolu. “I believe Olentangy Liberty High School will win.” OHS junior Kenton Playko said, “Students and folks should donate cans because it is for a very good cause that will really help out a person in need. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and by donating in this canned food drive you can help a good human being catch a break in life.”

New Aspen fitness center to open By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Aspen Fitness Clubs plans to open its doors by January's end, owner Steven Willis said. The 9,000-square-foot facility, at Olentangy Crossings on Pullman Drive, will bring 30 new jobs to the area, 12 of them full-time, Willis said. The center includes 40 pieces of cardiovascular equipment, such as treadmills, elliptical machines and recumbent bikes. It also will feature 18 circuit train-
ing machines and free weights. The services at the facility also include aerobic, zumba dance and yoga classes. For a $10 signup fee and a $10 monthly fee, a person can use all the machines. For $19 signup fee and $19 a month, a person gets access to the machines, classes, unlimited childcare, towel service and tanning, Willis said. “We try to provide a very minimal fee to (encourage) people to exercise,” Willis said. “We’re in a national healthcare crisis; 60 percent of (people in
the) United States are overweight and 30 percent is obese. We are trying to provide an affordable fitness solution for people to exercise. In a bad economy, we’re a great organization. In a good economy, we're good as well.” The club has a family-oriented atmosphere, Willis said. “We want the soccer mom and dad. We're geared toward general fitness.” The center offers single, couple and family memberships, Willis said. Children must be at least 11 years old to See ASPEN FITNESS, page A2

greatly benefit by these small acts of kindness.” “There are many people in need of food in our community and the food bank needs help reaching everyone who needs it,” said OHS junior Bailey Endres, who’s sure “Olentangy High School will win.” “While this event may seem like a competition between two schools, it is more of a way to just unite our communities
Playko is pretty sure “Olentangy High School will come out on top.” “The event carries on the idea of giving from the holidays into this new decade,” said OLHS junior Vivek Chhabria. “Students and members of the Olentangy community should donate cans because there are many people who would
and help those in need. I predict that this event will have great success,” said Chhabria. “But of course at the end of the day, the Patriots will win.” OHS junior Jordan Endres said it’s important to “make a difference in someone’s life (and) for the community to show how we work together so others can achieve.” “We won last time, and I hope we win
again,” she said. “We wanted to continue to provide opportunities for the student body to help others. We know that charity does not stop after the holidays. It is something that is needed throughout the year,” Fields said. Canned food may be dropped off during school hours at the OLHS, 3584 Home Road, Powell, or OHS 675 Lewis Center Road, Lewis Center.

use the equipment. The center focuses on five components of fitness: cardiovascular training, resistance training, proper nutrition, nutritional supplementation and professional assistance. “We have seminars and personal trainers that will help keep people accountable, consistent and motivated to obtaining their overall fitness goals,” Willis said. People who join the club in its first month in business will be considered charter members, allowing them to get fitness assessments that shows them the path to follow, said trainer Randy Ray. Willis said the club can help people meet and maintain their New Year's resolutions
to get fit. “It's hard to exercise, and people like to procrastinate, and disease sets in. We're a nation of cancer and heart disease. There are many diseases that are rampant in our society and it's pretty much preventative if you do certain steps such as exercise, proper nutrition, drinking plenty of water and taking a multivitamin,” Willis said. Regular exercise can reduce stress, depression and release the body's natural endorphins that make a person feel better, he said. Willis had hoped to open the facility in October, but there were “some setbacks due to construction delays.” For more information on Aspen Fitness Clubs, call (740) 548-7900 or visit www.aspenfitnessclubs.com.
er said. Decker said a year ago, church leaders voted to hire an architect and construction company and to start a capital campaign. The project cost $800,000. The church raised donations and pledges of $587,000, she said. “We did that in a terrible economic downturn. … And we didn’t want the construction to inhibit our vibrant ministry. We were able to continue in the midst of the mess,” she said. In fall of 2005, the church also opened a preschool. During all the growth, moving from
a small to a medium and on the cusp of a large church, they’ve had to keep their “eye on the vision,” Decker said. That vision is to be “a healthy, vibrant, risk-taking center for making and equipping disciples to transform our community and then the world,” she said. “We want them to be whole, their brokenness to be healed, to know they’re a part of something bigger than themselves, and to have hope in the midst of life’s ups and downs.” For more information, call Lewis Center United Methodist Church at (740) 548-5549 or visit www.lewiscenterumc. org. bbutcher@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

ed in the district,” Cooper said. Anderson said he had conversations with Rumpke, the trash and recycling company, regarding the issue. Rumpke offers every-otherweek curb-side recycling to the residents for $8 per month. “If we are awarded the grant, (Rumpke) indicated we could probably work it down to $4 per month,” Anderson said. In 2009, trustees had looked at options for going with a single hauler. At the time, residents voiced concern about eliminating opportunities for smaller hauling businesses. At the time, Flower Garbage and Rumpke provided more than 80 percent of the trash pick up coverage and other carriers Representatives from Flower Garbage had told trustees that the larger Rumpke would be able to under-bid them and Flower Garbage would struggle if the township went with a single hauler. In December 2010, Rumpke purchased Flower Garbage.

Just thinking
Christmas and high school: more alike than you think I just realized something important: Christmas is like high school. I don’t mean the birth of Jesus is synonymous with clanging lockers and the smell of steamed hotdogs. I mean … well, look. You know what high school’s like, right? You’re all caught up in that whole world of homework and credits and grade point averages and class rank, not to mention football basketball soccer tennis track golf or maybe band orchestra choir big musical trips to Disney World and then of course you have your student council honor society newspaper yearbook flag corps, not to mention homecoming prom and all the talk talk talk that accompanies these things. Then you graduate, and two days later you walk by the arrangement of certificates, plaques, athletic letters and other random awards that your proud mom has created for your open house and you think, “What’s all that stuff still doing here?” Because high school is behind you now. Behind you, and receding into the distance like a train in reverse. Soon it’ll be a tiny speck, and then you won’t see it at all. Not that you want to see it, because you don’t. Whether you’re going to college or starting a job or joining the service or sitting on the front porch texting people, you know that high school is no longer current. Who cares about how hilarious it was when you filled the softball team’s car wash buckets with Kool-Aid? Who cares about that thrilling moment when the prom court was announced? Who cares who was named valedictorian and who missed it by one one-hundredth of a point? You already know what to say when some doofus – or possibly your mom – brings up that stuff.
You say, “That’s so high school.” Meaning so yesterday, so unimportant. So over. This brings MARGO me to ChristBARTLETT mas, or rather, the two months leading up to Christmas, when Christmas music and Christmas lights and Christmas television programming and Christmas events and Christmas advertising rain down on the world like … Well, I was going to say “like shrapnel,” but that’s because I was remembering an advertisement I saw years ago that showed an unpleasant-looking woman opening an oven door and peering sternly inside. The headline read something like “They’ll be home for Christmas.” The ad was for oven cleaner. But using the word “shrapnel” to describe all this is too harsh. I actually like Christmas music and lights and events and even some of the television, provided I don’t have to watch most of it. I even like hearing Christmas songs piped over store speakers and have been known to get fairly carried away while singing along to “Santa Baby,” to the point that I have to either press my lips together or go to another part of the store where people don’t know me as that woman who’s singing. Yet. So yes, I like Christmas. Not as much as I did when I was a child, but I like it. I don’t like all the time and energy preparing for it requires, of course, and I don’t like the expense, or the pressure people feel to do it the way they see it done on TV or in magazines. I don’t like my own internal voice, the one that tells me to buy more wrapping paper just in case,
even though I know we have enough left over from last year to wrap up the entire house, or that nudges me into buying another table cloth when we can use our old ones, which already have candle wax marks in the right places. OK, so I don’t like absolutely everything about Christmas. I do like a lot of it, though, and I’m always surprised and chagrined at how quickly it all goes away. But when Christmas is over – you may have noticed this – it’s completely, totally, thoroughly over. By 5 p.m. on Christmas Day, radio stations that have played nothing but Christmas music since Thanksgiving have resumed their regular programming. On Dec. 26, Christmas trees begin appearing on the curbs, next to trash cans stuffed with wrapping paper and electronics boxes. The very air, so recently full of peace on earth, goodwill toward men sorts of messages, is silent. Not silent as in all is calm and all is bright. Just silent. I find myself thinking that I’m glad I didn’t buy more wrapping paper. And to think I thought about buying a new tablecloth! I must have been nuts. In fact, I was nuts – nuts and overworked and, yes, caught up in the wacky but still somehow thrilling spirit of the season. But the season is over now. It’s January, and we’re looking ahead, to Valentine’s Day and tax returns and spring. Christmas? You may as well try to tell about that time somebody poured bubble bath in the high school drinking fountains, or how great it was to be student director of “Our Town.” It’s all so over.

Dining birds put on good show I'm blaming it on the hectic holidays — my walks in the park were pretty limited in December. I went on a number of short hikes at Hogback Ridge Preserve (which happens to be where my office is located), and a longer one at Char-Mar Ridge Preserve, but that was about it. I did, however, take a lot of short walks to and from my backyard bird feeders — thanks to the snowy DeSUE cember we just enjoyed. HAGAN The persistent snow cover made last month an especially good one for bird watchers, because wintering birds flock to backyard feeders when snow envelops their favorite sources of food. In my yard, I saw plenty of birds at the feeders, poking about on the ground, and checking out the seed heads on last summer's coneflowers. I was actually ready for my avian visitors well before the first snowflake flew. I had stocked up on all the favorites: a fruit and nut
mix for cardinals, pine siskins, waxwings, blue jays, wrens and warblers; niger (thistle) for finches and mourning doves; suet cakes for woodpeckers and nuthatches; and black-oil sunflower seeds for everyone. (Bill Thompson, who writes a blog for BirdWatchersDigest. com, calls black-oil sunflower seed the “hamburger of the bird
world,” because virtually every bird likes it. I find that true, but my feeder with nuts and fruits gets emptied first — especially if a flock of blackbirds finds it!) So anyway, I put in plenty of bird food and got my usual crew of dark-eyed juncos, song sparrows, finches and mourning

For the second consecutive year, Colliers filled the packages with books, games and snacks. The project was supported by fundraisers such as “Jean Fridays,” which were matched through a donation from the company. The Blue Star Mothers and Buckeye Military Moms supplied names of troops and gave their support during Colliers’ “Soldier Care Package Packing Party.” Several Colliers employees in the departments of property management, maintenance and accounting also adopted a family through LifeCare Alliance during the holiday season. The family included a mother with AIDS and her teenage daughter. Thanks to the efforts of the employees, who raised money through department donations, the mother and daughter received more than $1,100 worth of gifts, including gift cards for groceries and fuel.

da and spend the winter in Ohio's relative warmth. Besides juncos, some of the recent winter visitors at Hogback and at Deer Haven Preserve have been white-crowned and white-throated sparrows, pine siskins, redpolls and purple finches. Many bird watchers don't just watch. They collect data that helps in bird population and migration studies. One way to do that is to become a member of Project FeederWatch, a project of the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology. All it takes is a bird feeder, the right kind of bird food (black oil sunflower seeds and white millet are good choices), water for the birds, a little time to observe, and $15 for registration and materials. The data collected by counting at a given time on two days every other week is used by scientists to study the movements of winter bird populations and the long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. Anyone can join Project FeederWatch. All the details are available at www.birds.cornell.edu. Now that the holidays are over, I'll be getting back out on the trails. But I won't forget that, of the paths I follow this winter, one of the most pleasing is the short one I'll follow to the feeders in my own yard.

doves. All is usually peaceful and calm, but you never know what will happen at the bird feeders — seriously! Just when I had settled into watching a few goldfinches (in their winter olive-drab feathers) pick away at thistle seed, a flash of bright blue and white signaled the arrival of a pushy blue jay. Emitting a loud squawk, he flew directly into the branches of a large spruce — and out flew another jay from the other side. The cacophony and the rush of the jays sent all the other birds flying away, and just in time. For next came a small hawk, perching on my wood pile, awaiting a tasty morsel. Evidently, he's familiar with my feeders, too. I've seen hawks sit, motionless, on my wood pile for long periods of time when birds are fledging. But on this day, my hawk impatiently moved on after a moment or so, and the other birds gradually ventured back. It always amuses me that the smallest birds are the first to return after the threat is over. A finch came back first, followed by a few more, and then the bigger mourning doves reappeared. My bird watching is not limited to my yard; like many park visitors, I spend some time watching the feeders here at Hogback, in the hopes of Sue Hagan is marketing and communications spotting something out of the ordinary. Winter is a great time for that, because a num- manager for Preservation Parks of Delaware ber of species leave their homes in frozen Cana- County.

Girls Basketball
Pioneers’ Bassett-Smith finding niche By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Junior Ashley Bassett-Smith knows what to expect when the Olentangy Orange High School girls basketball team plays at Delaware on Friday. The 6-foot-3 center will be trying to shut down Corsica Barber, the Pacers’ 6-2 center who was her AAU teammate last summer. The Pioneers held Barber to five points in a 72-49 victory on Dec. 3. Bassett-Smith and her teammates an-
ticipate the second matchup will be tougher. “We know Delaware’s going to bring a lot of intensity to that game,” Bassett-Smith said. “They have a big game inside. ... We knew Delaware was going to be our first real challenge in the OCC-Capital Division. We started the season off right.” In the first half of league play, Hilliard Bradley, a Division II district finalist last year, was the only team to come within 10 points of the Pioneers, who won the matchup 66-58
last Friday. Orange defeated its first seven OCC-Capital opponents by an average margin of 29 points. Orange has averaged 62.8 points a game with only two teams (Northland in a 48-43 loss on Dec. 13 and DeSales in a 44-39 win on Dec. 29) holding it under 50 points. The Pioneers have had seven players score in double figures and have had at least two players with more than 10 points in all 12 games. Bassett-Smith has been a big part of the team’s success. After being held
to two points in the season opener, she has averaged 12.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks. “Ashley is really coming into her own,” coach Mary Ann Grimes said. “At the beginning of the season, we talked about how she can best help our team and her skills have really progressed.” Coming off a 24-point performance in a 93-38 rout of Franklin Heights on Jan. 3, Smith-Bassett felt like she had found her niche. “In the past, I was more of a onedimensional player,” she said. “I’d al-
ways play with my back to the basket. I feel like I’ve added more to my game and improved on my shooting and dribbling. Things have been flowing really well this year.” Grimes is Bassett-Smith’s third coach in as many years. Her freshman year, she played for Jamie Puryear at New Albany but was used sporadically in a guard-dominated offense. Last year, Bassett-Smith transferred to Orange and played for coach Amber See GIRLS, page B2
Boys Basketball
Braves’ Perry returns to lineup By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Olentangy High School boys basketball team is beginning to look like the one coach Chris Kelly envisioned before the season. On Jan. 4, junior forward Josh Perry returned from a knee injury and played sparingly in a 48-39 loss to Westerville Central. Last Friday, he scored nine points in a 78-60 loss to unbeaten Westerville South. “Josh is super strong defensively and is just awesome on the boards,” said Kelly, whose team is 3-8 overall and 1-5 in the OCC-Cardinal Division. “He posts up strong and really is a good team leader. He plays hard all of the time.” Perry tore an MCL, possibly as a linebacker in football or in his transition to basketball. Kelly wanted to make sure his 6-foot4 post player had thoroughly healed before making his return. “He had swelling in his knee and needed three weeks of rehab,” Kelly said of Perry, who has verbally committed to play football at Ohio State. “We feel good about the fact that he is healed and is playing as hard as he can be. We didn’t want to rush him back and then lose him for the season.” Perry averaged 6.4 points per game last season and was named special mention all-league. Despite being injured early this season, he was a fixture at practices. “The only practices he missed was when he had a doctor’s appointment,” Kelly said. “The kids really have a lot of respect for him because he is such a team player. His enthusiasm when he was out was tremendous.” Kelly said Perry should help get the Braves back on track. “We are trying to keep a greater goal down the road of being ready for the tournament,” he said. “In the first half of the season, we have been testing ourselves against some great teams and the kids are keeping a great attitude.” •Liberty, 8-2 overall and 60 in the OCC-Cardinal Division, ends the first round of league play Friday at Westerville South, which also is 6-0 in the league. “When you play a game like this with both teams undefeated, there is going to be a lot of emotions,” coach Greg Nossaman said. “(South is) very athletic and it’s hard for us to reproduce that in practice. We have to have four good days of practice to prepare for a game like this.” The Wildcats are led by senior guard Traevon Jackson, a Wisconsin signee who is the son of former Ohio State standout Jim Jackson. Senior guard Demarkeo Lyche and junior point guard Isaiah Rogers also are key contributors. South has won 24 consecutive OCC games dating to the 2008-09 season. It also has won 35 consecutive regular-season

Vladimir Dolgov (left), who won the bronze medal in the 100-meter backstroke for the USSR in the 1980 Summer Olympics, has been a big influence on his son, Dmitry, who is excelling in the pool as a senior at Liberty.
Swimming & Diving
Dolgov hopes to live up to legacy By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
As a freshman competing for the Olentangy Liberty High School boys swimming and diving team, Dmitry Dolgov described himself as “a small, chubby kid who wasn’t even fast enough to swim on the A relays.” He wondered if he would ever follow in the footsteps of his father, Vladimir, his mother, Svetlana, and his brother, Alex, by developing into an elite swimmer. Vladimir Dolgov was a seven-time Soviet Union national champion in both the 100- and 200-meter backstroke who went on to win a bronze medal in the 100 backstroke at the 1980 Summer
Olympics in Moscow. Svetlana Dolgov was a member of the USSR women’s national team for three years. Alex Dolgov, as a senior at Bexley, won a 2002 district title in the 200-yard individual medley in a team-record 1 minute, 53.15 seconds. He earned a scholarship to Wright State, where he was a six-time Horizon League champion, a three-time team MVP and a national qualifier in the 200 IM. “I come from a family of swimmers and I’ve always looked up to them and wanted to make them proud, so it was hard (as a freshman), because it seemed like everybody was developing (physically) faster than me,” said Dmitry Dol-
gov, who is now a senior at Liberty. “Some friends of mine who were freshmen made it to state that year, and it was hard to see everyone around me excelling while I stayed the same and stayed in the shadow of everyone else.” But Dolgov has grown 10 inches since the beginning of his freshman season and he’s gradually improved his technique in each event under the guidance of his father, who is the head coach of the Dynamo Swim Team. Thus, Dolgov developed into one of the Patriots’ top performers by his sophomore season, and he experienced a breakthrough as a junior, when he placed ninth in the 200 IM (1:57.01) and 10th in the 100 breast (59.49) in the Division
I state meet. “I’ve matured physically, which has helped, but I’ve also worked a lot harder in practice and listened to my dad’s advice,” Dolgov said. Dolgov now stands close to 6-foot-4, with large hands and a 6-9 wing span. However, he weighs only 168 pounds and is thin; his father doesn’t allow him to lift weights. “Dmitry’s a very late bloomer and he doesn’t have as much power as a lot of other kids his age,” Alex Dolgov said. “My dad makes sure he doesn’t overtrain his body with weights because his body hasn’t fully matured yet and he See SWIMMING, page B2
Hockey
Patriots’ depth tested by injuries, illness By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Tim Norman/ThisWeek
Injuries and illness are testing the depth of the Olentangy Liberty High School hockey team. The Patriots went 1-3 last weekend at the Gates Mills Gilmour Tournament. “We had (senior defenseman) Robert Koehler out for the tournament with the flu and (senior defenseman) Grant Woods separated his shoulder in the first game of the tournament,” said coach Jack Hoogeveen, whose Patriots are 13-6 overall and were second in last week’s district poll behind Dublin Jerome. “We also have (senior forward) Matt Mullier out with a concussion. Obviously, the kids’ health comes first, so we have been relying on some j.v. call-ups to get through this.” Two of the j.v. players making contributions are forward Kyle Horner and defenseman Nick Kouskouris. After falling to Culver (Ind.) Academy 6-3 in its Gilmour tournament opener, Liberty lost

Ellison, who stepped down after an 18-5 season. Two of those losses came against New Albany, which won the league. Bassett-Smith said it was a little awkward moving to Orange from a rival school last season. “I really hate to say this, but a lot of last year’s team remembered playing against me when I was at New Albany and it felt like they had a grudge against me,â€? said Bassett-Smith, who scored 14 points in a 5436 win over New Albany on Dec. 17, the school’s first win over the Eagles. “One of the things that helped was there was a big freshmen class last year with (guards Maddy Joseph and Tyler Agler).

Hamilton Southeastern 3-1 before beating San Margarita (Calif.) 2-1. “We played some really great teams like Culver and Gilmour, which was ranked (sixth behind top-rated Toledo St. Francis) in the state poll,â€? Hoogeveen said. “Our team has learned a lot competing against those teams. We competed hard against them, even though the score sometimes did not indicate them.â€? Hoogeveen expects the Patriots to again face top-notch competition this week at the Strongsville Tournament. “Last year, we played a few teams in our league at Strongsville and we play Upper Arlington this year,â€? Hoogeveen said. “But there are some good teams up there, including Strongsville (eighth in last week’s state poll). It would be great to play a high-powered team like that. They are in the other pool and maybe we’ll get to play them later.â€? Hoogeveen said his team plays the top-quality teams from outside the area to prepare for later Capital Hockey Conference games. Liberty leads the CHC at 70, with Jerome and Cincinnati Moeller at 8-1. Orange and Thomas Worthington are tied for fourth at 4-3-1 and Olentangy is sixth at 4-2. “I think we are improving every week and every game,â€? Hoogeveen said. “We have to be ready to play when we take the ice. The key for us, just like any team, is be ready right off the bat.â€? •Olentangy is 13-7 overall after defeating Worthington Kilbourne 4-2 last Sunday as Andrew Stegmann scored twice and both Tyler Sangster and Josh Stein scored once. Jake Fox had 22 saves. “We have been winning the games that we should be winning and we have played to our level of competition in others,â€? said Rob Sangster, who is co-coach with Mazin Habash. “We can’t take any two points lightly.â€? Coach Sangster is concerned
about the balance on his team. He said more players have to get the puck into the net. “We need to get scoring from more guys,� he said. “If we don’t get goals from certain guys, then we don’t score. We need more balanced scoring when we are playing the upper-echelon teams.� Remaining focused throughout the game also is an area where the Braves must improve. “We have to bear down at

Continued from page B1 games. Liberty beat Central 65-48 in a league game last Friday but lost 50-43 to Hilliard Davidson last Saturday. “We had big emotional game against Central where we put it together on both the offensive and defensive ends of the court,” Nossaman said. “(Against Davidson), we had a lot of turnovers, which is uncharacteristic for us. Really, it all comes down to players making plays and that’s important no matter who you are playing.” •Orange is 7-2 overall and 42 in the OCC-Capital, but coach John Betz said Friday’s home league matchup against Delaware is a “make-or-break game” for his team. The Pioneers trail Mount Vernon and New Albany by two games in the league. “We have already lost two on the road early in the league and that hurt us,” said Betz, referring to losses to Mount Vernon (52-39 on Dec. 7) and New Albany (50-45 on Dec. 17). “If we can win this game (with Delaware) and hold home court, we still have a chance to fulfill some goals.” The Pacers are led by junior guard Matt Bingaya, who was averaging 23 points and 9.9 re-

Scampering waiters and above-average food at new Poblano’s MENU
Except for the hardest-working and quickest-moving wait staff in town — servers literally, stunningly and unfailingly jog across its wide-open and winding-around spaces — Poblano’s is nothing you haven’t seen before. That said, this bright and tidy newish Mexican restaurant’s food was consistently a cut above the norm. Occupying a rambling, double-decker edifice spread out over several rooms, Poblano’s is a big and splashy establishment. Kind of fun in a kitschy and touristy way, its brash color scheme alternates from one tropically tinted wall to the next. So as your head whirls as you try to follow that kinetic wait staff moving to the beat of relentlessly uptempo cumbia music, your eyes will rush past tones like tan-
by G.A. Benton gerine orange, avocado green, mango yellow and chili pepper red. After the arrival of fresh and above-average chips and salsa, you’re probably going to want some of the slightly orange-flavored house margaritas. I recommend the worth-it upcharge for a lasts-forever (and potent!) half pitcher of “Poblano’s” Margaritas ($17) made with Hornitos tequila and Cointreau. Appetizer-wise, though the homey, oregano-flecked and salty chicken and tortilla soups were both pleasant enough (each $2.50), my favorite starter was the extra-large and super-valued

The El Amigo entrée and Tres Leches cake at Poblano’s.
Whitefish Ceviche ($6.50). I liked how its abundant, creamy and unblemished avocado chunks calmed down the assertive yet enticing fresh lime juice mixture
(with diced tomato and onion) in which the plentiful chopped raw fish was “cooked.” From the “House Specialties” entrees, El Amigo ($15) will definitely live up to its name and be your friend — if, like me, you’re a big eater. A virtual Mexican smorgasbord on a single plate, it was spilling over with nicely seared shrimp plus rice and beans (they grace most every meal and yes, they’re better than most), crisply grilled slices of thin beef (carne aside) and a boneless, skinless chicken breast. Both terrestrial proteins tasted great beneath their layers of rich melted Mexican cheese and zesty, greasy chorizo (but what wouldn’t?) Real Mexican chiles rellenos have an eggier batter than you generally get in America. Since I got something approximating that at Poblano’s, I’d rate theirs

($10.50) on the higher side. I mixed and matched a chicken (stewy) with a beef (hamburger vastly improved by being cooked with onion, carrot and potato) to fine effect. Though I doubt it was completely made from scratch, the mole sauce on my Enchiladas Poblanos ($9.50) was thicker, less sweet, richer and more complex (tasting of roasted chilies with a hint of cinnamon) than average.
It was slathered over a trio of tortillas wrapped around chicken stewed with rajas (roasted poblano pepper strips). Nice. Also quite nice was a massive platter of Chile Verde ($11). That one featured huge chunks of tender, stewy pork shoulder enlivened by a piquant tomatillo salsa. I’m a sucker for Pastel de Tres Leches, and Poblano’s version ($4.50) did not disappoint. Soaked in sweetened condensed milk, slightly perfumey and elaborately decorated with caramel icing piped into rococo decorations, it was a piece of cake that tasted as good as it looked. To read G.A.

Powell pizzeria serves up classic New York-style pies After Brooklyn Pizza opened on New Year’s Day, the New Yorkers started filing in. One guy was from Brooklyn, another from Staten Island. Long Island was represented, as was Albany. Owner Anthony La Cerva didn’t know there were so many Empire State transplants living in central Ohio. “There’s a lot of pressure on me,” he said. But it seems he has a hot, cheese-dripping commodity – a New York-style pizza, complete with a crispy, foldable crust, 100-percent mozzarella and a housemixed sauce. La Cerva’s goal was to create a true pizzeria, similar to the ones his father owned in the New York metropolitan area. Thin-crust pizzas, cut into triangles no less, appeared to be an anomaly in central Ohio. Rarer still were by-the-slice options. “Maybe the pizza places (in town) don’t think they make enough money on it,” he said. “I’m stumped. In New York, they’re all over the place.” Brooklyn Pizza, a carryout at 30 Grace Drive, has taken over the former Joshua’s Pizza in a strip center just north of the restaurant-laden intersection at Liberty and Olentangy streets. La Cerva said he’s

Liberty St. She admits that most customers haven’t even heard of it. “But once they taste it, they love it,” said Starling, who ran the Sunbury Grill for three years. It has myriad uses – for example, complementing omelets – or is enjoyable as a side, she said. Starling’s customers can get a GLT – a goetta, lettuce and tomato sandwich. She also has a parade of homemade dishes, including buttermilk biscuits and gravy, soups, chili, pancakes and such. Her potatoes are fresh-cut and her burgers are hand-patted. Prices range from $3 for a la carte items to $7.99 for meals. “I love to cook. I like to cook anyBy Chris Parker/ThisWeek thing,” she said. “I’m not much of a baker.

Columbus Zoo breaks attendance record The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium had another record-breaking year in 2010. The zoo announced this week that 2010 attendance topped the 2009 record of 2,218,551. According to a news release from the zoo, the zoo had 2,374,125 visitors in 2010. “We were on track to hit 2.4million visitors when the December cold weather affected our Wildlights attendance” zoo CEO and president Dale Schmidt said in the release. “We did have a few busy days including the heartwarming turnout for our food collection for the Mid-Ohio Food-
bank.” The zoo collected more than 70,000 pounds of food for the MidOhio Food Bank in December. The zoo opened the $20-million Polar Frontier attraction this year, bringing polar bears back to Columbus and thousands of visitors to the zoo.
