WKHS to offer I.B. program in 2012 By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers Worthington school officials are preparing to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Worthington Kilbourne High School beginning in 2012. IB is a rigorous, integrated course of study that will take the form of a schoolwithin-a-school for students who choose to pursue an IB diploma. In the United States, 717 schools offer the IB diploma program, according to the Worthington City Schools website. In central Ohio, it is offered at Upper Arlington, Westerville South and at the three high schools in Dublin. Kilbourne teachers and administrators

presented details of the program to the Worthington Board of Education on Jan. 10. Board members were supportive, and Kilbourne staff members appeared enthusiastic. “It will provide an extraordinary ex-
perience for our students and staff,” Kilbourne principal Ed Dunaway said. Students who opt to enroll in the IB diploma program would be required to take a set of basic classes; write a 4,000 word, independent research paper; and complete a project outside the classroom. Juniors and seniors would take courses in English language and literature, foreign language, social studies, experimental science, mathematics and the arts. Courses would be offered as standard level, for 150 instructional hours, or higher level, for 240 hours. Students would be required to complete at least three and no more than four of the courses at higher level. Theory of knowledge, a philosophy
course, also would be required. Connections between courses would be stressed, and teachers would be required to undergo professional development before designing and teaching an IB course. Ongoing professional development also would be required. To obtain an IB diploma, a student would be required to complete six exams, scoring a minimum number of points. Points also would be assigned for completing the philosophy course, the essay and the community project. The program will foster the development of students who are principled, analytical, adaptable, creative and community minded, said John Jordan, a history teacher at Kilbourne who has taken a lead-
ership position on the team that is developing the program. Thus far, the school’s original application has been accepted by the IB organization. The IB courses would be taught by current teachers. Though no new staff would be required, Jordan estimates the cost of the program through the 2013-14 school year would be $106,572. That would cover professional development, textbooks and reading materials. Ongoing would be a $10,000 annual fee and the cost of continuing professional development.

Shoppers hungry for fresh food from farmers market
Schare elected president of school board
By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When the winter farmers market opened at 10 on Saturday morning, about 50 people waited patiently at the door. For the next three hours — despite single digit temperatures and snow on the ground – a steady stream of customers filed through the tables of fresh foods for sale at the Griswold Center. The weather kept away a few vendors, but nothing seems to deter the people hungry for the kind of food available only at farmers markets, said Jane Haskins, chairperson of the friends of the Old Worthington Farmers Market, a volunteer group that helps run the market. One market was held in November, one in December. Beginning Saturday, the market will be held each Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. through April 23. Like many of the customers who drive a few miles to the market, Powell residents Beth and Don Maxwell are drawn by the quality of food available. They also like supporting small businesses. On Saturday, they bought chicken, eggs, cheese, beef and bread. “The meat and chicken far exceed anything you can buy in the grocery store,” Beth said. Kim Holman and her daughter Hannah came from Dublin to buy two gallon jugs of real maple syrup from Pleiades Maple Products from Mt. Gilead. “My husband was raised on maple syrup in By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek Norwalk, Ohio,” Kim said. “With four teenagers, Michele Chauncey of Sweet Tee’s Caribbean Goodies works on her display before the Winter Farmers we go through a lot of syrup.” Market at the Griswold Center on Jan. 8.

Call it a sign of the times, or a return to fairness on the Worthington Board of Education. Just make sure you call Marc Schare “Mr. President.” In a move than some board members said would never happen, Schare was elected president of the school board on Monday night. The vote was 5-0, with even Charlie Wil- Marc son agreeing that Schare Schare should lead the school board in 2011. Wilson voted “no” last year when Schare was elected vice-president. Two years ago, Schare was passed over for the vice president’s position, with board members saying he had “his own agenda” and was not a “consensus builder.” The vice president usually steps into the president’s role, and board members generally take turns serving in leadership positions. Schare is starting his sixth year on the board. He is a fiscally conservative Republican who often prepares lengthy, researched opinions on issues facing the board. His opinions are often at odds with those of Wilson, who usually anchors the board at the other end of the political spectrum. After Schare was unanimously elected, he moved from his seat at the right end of the board desk, to the president’s seat in the middle. “It has taken a lot to move me off the far right position on the board and into the center,” he said. During the visitor comment portion of the board meeting, former board member Abramo Ottolenghi — who is known for his left-leaning opinions — said he was pleased to see Schare become president of the board. In his first act as president, Schare nominated Jennifer Best as vice president. She was also unanimously elected. Schare thanked her for always being willing to answer his questions after he first joined the board in 2006. “Jennifer Best has been and continues to be my mentor on this board,” he said.

The “find yourself here” campaign was designed by the library’s public relations staff about a year ago. The theme presents the library as not only informative, but as an inviting destination with something for everyone. The T-shirts are just one of the more recognizable parts of the campaign. The library sells the shirts in a variety of sizes (including infant sizes), colors and styles. Dozens of messages can be changed out. You can find heroes, pirates, history, stars and much, much more, according to the messages. Formerly, the library attempted to appeal to people based on their age group or profession. For example, teens, business persons or senior cit-
izens were targeted. The new campaign is meant to appeal to interests, not demographics. For instance, romance novels may appeal to teenagers and those in their 80s, and business people and busy mothers may be interested in cooking. “Bacon” could mean money, or strips of pork, or Kevin Bacon. The library has resources devoted to any of the three. The new marketing theme encompasses all forms of communication, including print, electronic and social media, community engagement and staff support. Since the campaign began, the liSee LIBRARY, page A2

The business was grown out of necessity, said sisters Cintia UlloaHays and Ariana Ullo-Allavarrieta. They grew up eating fresh, healthy food and wanted the same for their children. Yet all that was on the shelves was baby food made with preservatives and fillers. “If we can establish healthy eating habits now, when they are young, it will last a lifetime,” said Cintia. They launched their business in August at the Worthington outdoor farmers market. They plan to begin taking orders from their Web site this week, and may eventually begin selling to stores.

No outside sources were used to create the campaign. “It’s been great to get national recognition for the campaign we did ourselves,” said Lisa Fuller, director of community relations. Hillary Kline and Lisa Bond round out the public relations staff. Also contributing to the campaign were technology staff members Kara Reuter and Stefan Langer.
PROGRAM Continued from page A1 the program, though David Bressman cautioned the IB team to make sure it does a good job of marketing the program to students and parents. “If you build the best mousetrap and nobody uses it, it stagnates,” he said.
Jordan said it is difficult to gauge how receptive students would be, but he talked to one mother who was about to move to Dublin so her son could be in an IB program. They have decided to stay, he said. The district is about to begin its first IB program at Slate Hill Elementary School. Someday, the
program could be extended to the middle and early high school years, making Worthington one of the few districts to offer a K-12 IB program. Board president Marc Schare gave his enthusiastic support. “We understand that the world is changing, and we must change with it,” he said.

As it were
State and High streets: A picture from the past The past can tell us its story in a lot of ways — with diaries, letters and descriptions by people of the events that make up their lives. We can also learn a lot about a city by looking at pictures from time to time, especially if the picture is clear and crisp and full of detail. And this picture is just that. It was taken about 100 years ago. A photographer placed his camera about a third of the way into the intersection of ED State and LENTZ High streets in Columbus and aimed it to the south along High Street. The photographer has been careful to take a picture without too many people, whose rapid movement might only show up as an occasional blur in the image. The photographer wants as much precise detail as possible because this picture, like many others, will later be made into a postcard. But in the making of the postcard image — even with a lot of color added — some of the original detail of the photograph is lost. In the original photograph, much of what made downtown Columbus a special place in the early 1900s can be seen once again. Columbus in the early 1900s was known as the Arch City. It is easy to see why. Straddling High Street every half-block or so is a series of metal arches illuminated by electric lights and topped with American flags. Each of the lights is a clear incandescent light bulb, just like the ones many of us still use at home. And each of them needed to be changed when they burned out, which in those days was rather frequently. Nevertheless, the arches were popular and had been for some time. The arches had originally been erected in 1888 when more than 250,000 people came to Columbus for the 22nd annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Ohio’s rather modest capital city had never seen anything quite like the tent city the veterans built during their more than weeklong stay. The arches were originally designed to be temporary and keep the streets lit during the convention to deter crime. However, they proved to be quite popular. Eventually, the wooden arches, lit by gas, were replaced by the metal arches lit by electricity that we see in this picture. The arches also provided electric power to the streetcars that traveled along the brick streets of Columbus. Columbus had grown a lot since the veterans came to town in 1888. The opening of the Hocking Valley’s coal, lumber and iron resources after the Civil War led to the rise of several major industries in a city that had once been mostly a commercial and governmental center. By 1910, Columbus was a city of more than 180,000 people and, among other things, was the “Buggy Capital of the World.” We are looking at the commercial heart of this growing city.

Looking south on High Street from State Street, circa 1911.
But it is also a place where many people still live. Columbus, like most cities, has a few skyscrapers. But most of the commercial buildings in the city are still four and five stories tall. Built in an era before elevators, they reflect the simple fact that most people will not walk up more than a few flights of stairs to their homes or places of business. Many of these buildings have metal fire escapes attached to their fronts and sides. While the buildings look substantial, most of their interiors are made of wood and the threat of fire is still quite real in a city where gas lights are as common as electric bulbs. Along the sidewalk to the right can be seen what appear to be a number of large stone blocks along the curb. These are steps to provide more easy access to one’s carriage. While automobiles are becoming a more common sight, many people still rely on horsedrawn carriages as well as the streetcar system to make their way around town. The shops and stores along High Street provide the widest variety of goods and services to the people who live and work nearby. Most of these merchants have placed large signs on their stores and projecting from them advertising their services. They range from Murnan’s taxi service and “sports parlor” on the left to the more elegant Goodman Jewelers on the right. In the dis-
tance on the right, at the corner of Town and High streets, can be seen the distinctive tower of the F. & R. Lazarus department store. There are other distinctive elements of this city of a century ago. Watches were a luxury many people could not afford; the timepieces were worn only on special occasions. To help keep track of the time, large clocks like the one at the right of the picture stood at many major intersections. To meet the need for information, some of the city’s several newspapers were sold by newsboys (and occasionally newsgirls) like the ones we see to the left of the picture. Most of the people we see in the picture seem reasonably welldressed in suits and ties for the men and fashionable dresses for the ladies. By the standards of our time, they are indeed welldressed and — in mostly wool clothing — probably a bit uncomfortable. But by the standards of their day, this was just the common attire of day-to-day life. This was a world that had changed a lot during the lives of the people we see here. But for the most part, these people were accustomed to change and had learned to live with it. And perhaps that is just as well, since a lot more change was not all that far away.

Report urges Lunchtime tales take creepy turn awareness, H K pesticides to quash bed bugs By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspaper
A closer look
A bedbug report released last week by the Ohio Department of Health is waiting for a cue from state leaders. After seven meetings, the Ohio Bedbug Workgroup report was released Jan. 5 and included 10 recommendations to prevent and control the spread of the bug that carries no disease, but feeds on human blood. The workgroup formed in early 2010 included pest management, housing, government and public health representatives gathered “to assess the growing bedbug problem, identify how it is currently being handled across the state and determine the best possible approaches to assist Ohio’s citizens and communities in prevention and control efforts,” the report said. Bedbugs are often found near sleeping areas and can easily “hitchhike” undetected on common items such as clothing, bags and furniture. “During the past decade, bedbug complaints in Ohio have increased dramatically,” ODH director and workgroup chair Alvin Jackson said in a news release. “The workgroup has determined the best possible approaches to assist Ohio communities in dealing with these pests.” Jennifer House, public affairs officer for the ODH, said the report was given to the recently sworn-in Gov. John Kasich, outgoing Gov. Ted Strickland and general assembly leaders. “We’ll await guidance from our legislative leaders on how they’ll work this out,” House said. The workgroup is also awaiting word on a few grants that could move recommendations forward. Bedbugs have been relatively unknown pests in the past 50 years, but recently emerged because of safety and environmental changes, resistance to pesticides available to the public and pest management companies, increased international travel and little experience dealing with the bugs, the bedbug report theorized. Bedbug outbreaks have been reported in homes, apartments, hotels, nursing homes, residential facilities and senior living centers.
Bedbugs are often found near sleeping areas and can easily “hitchhike” undetected on common items such as clothing, bags and furniture.
There won’t be any bubbleblowing or songs like “Skinnamarink” and “Wheels on the Bus” during the library’s newest “storytime” series. No, “Strange & Twisted Tales” is for adults only. Bring your lunch and your knitting, if you like, and listen to each month’s bone-chilling tale. “Time” magazine named Kelly Link’s short story collection, “Magic for Beginners,” one of 2005’s best fiction books. “Link’s stories…play in a place few writers go, a netherworld between literature and fantasy, Alice Munro and J.K. Rowling, and Link finds truths there that most authors
In central Ohio, bedbug complaints were under 50 in 2007, but increased to more than 100 in 2008 and nearly 450 in 2009, the report said. During the course of its work, the group identified the lack of education, effective pesticides, collaboration between various agencies and the high cost of bedbug treatments as serious roadblocks in dealing with the problem. The report recommended getting pest control companies “effective and safe alternatives to those (pesticides) currently available for the control of bedbugs.” Some bedbugs are resistant to currently available pesticides, which leads to the need for multiple treatments. Some people cannot afford several treatments, the report said. The Ohio Department of Agriculture has petitioned the U.S. EPA to “provide an emergency exemption for the residential use of” the pesticide Propoxur, but has so far been denied. House said Strickland wrote another letter to the U.S. EPA on Dec. 20 asking the agency to reconsider the ban on propoxur, but “right now we’re awaiting response.” The report recommends continuing requests for Propoxur, and asking the U.S. EPA and other federal agencies to facilitate and register bedbug pesticides that are “safe, effective and affordable.” Other recommendations revolve around statewide education and awareness in addition to developing ways to deal with the problem at local health departments. Finding ways to help low income people with bedbug prevention and control, as well as inspections for hotels and motels also made the list of recommendations. For a full list of recommendations or more information, the bedbug report can be found online at odh.ohio.gov/features/odhfeatures/bedbugsfeature.aspx. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen GET THE MOST OUT OF LIFE! If you’ve worked and saved your way to retirement, you deserve to fully enjoy and appreciate every last second of it. You shouldn’t let anything stand in the way of your active participation of favorite pursuits, from hobbies and social gatherings to travel and recreational sports. Toward this end, you owe it to yourself to address your hearing loss with a professional exam and possible fitting of a hearing instrument. Today’s instruments provide more bang for the buck with technical features such as “noise reduction” and “directional microphones”, which work together to improve speech understanding. Additionally, “automatic volume and listening programs” take listening environments into account to make changes that make listening more comfortable in restaurants and other challenging settings. We take the responsibility very seriously of matching every patient with the hearing instruments best suited to his or her special circumstances. We then use sophisticated technology to achieve the most accurate, comfortable, custom fit. The extensive training required of our profession and our experience in the field make us well-suited to both tasks. Is your hearing in need of a bit of improvement? Call us at ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, 614-654-4309, to arrange a hearing evaluation and to see the astonishing hearing instruments available today. Hearing tests are painless - have one soon at 1000 Morrison Road, Suite H, Gahanna. We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!

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 2.4-million 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 heart-warming turnout for our food collection for the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.”
The zoo collected more than 70,000 pounds of food for the Mid-Ohio 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. During 2010, the zoo also had a few births, the arrival of four manatees and the death of reticulated python and Guinness World Record holder Fluffy. The zoo also reported more than 74,000 memberships sold in 2010 and 23,000 Zoombezi Bay season passes.

Cards, Wolves evenly matched for battle By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
In each of the previous two seasons, there was a clear favorite when the Thomas Worthington and Worthington Kilbourne high school boys basketball teams met in OCC-Central Division play. During the 2008-09 season, the Cardinals beat Kilbourne 52-39 and 48-37 to take a 5-0 series lead on the way to finishing with five more victories than the Wolves.
Last season, the Wolves defeated Thomas 49-31 and 44-38 en route to finishing with nine wins, four more than the Cardinals. This season, however, the two squads appear to be equally competitive as Thomas prepares to play host to Kilbourne on Friday in the eighth game of the series. “It’s always a big game when we play Thomas, especially this year, because both of us have good teams and we look like we’re pretty evenlymatched,” Kilbourne senior center Jack
Burian said. “They weren’t very good last year, and they were always better than us in the years before that, but this game is going to come down to who plays better on that night.” Thomas coach Bob Miller, who has been a part of the previous seven matchups, also believes there is no clear favorite heading into the first meeting of this season. “In our first meetings, we were a lot stronger on paper, and they beat us twice last year and were the better team,” Miller said. “Looking at how
well both teams are playing, I agree that this is probably the most evenlymatched that we’ve been since we’ve been playing each other.” Miller said the Cardinals will try to exploit their height advantage inside by getting the ball to 6-foot-10, 265pound junior post player Jordan Cowgill and 6-8 senior post player David Herbst. Cowgill is averaging 12 points through 10 games and Herbst is averaging 6.3 points. If Kilbourne attempts to double-team either of the post players, the Cardi-
nals will look to pass the ball to open shooters on the perimeter, such as Julian Henderson (8.9 points per game), D.J. Lightfoot (7.5 ppg) and Will Hill (7.1 ppg). “Our two big guys are having good seasons, and we can use different lineups with both of them in there at the same time or we can play more guards if that’s the matchup that we’re looking for,” Miller said. Burian said the Wolves will try to See BOYS, page B2

Short-handed Wolves hang tough By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The undermanned Worthington Kilbourne High School hockey team gave Olentangy all it could handle last Sunday at Chiller North. The Wolves lost 4-2 but didn’t back down against the Braves despite having only 10 regulars on hand. “We’re down to 10 after losing three of our players to injury,” said coach Tom Erlenbusch, whose team is 2-12-1 overall and 1-7 in the Capital Hockey Conference. “We
lost (sophomore defenseman) Nathan Walter to a knee injury and (sophomore right wing) Andrew Dowler has been out for us. Then (freshman right wing) Cody Mathess scores a goal for us and later falls on the ice and injures his neck. We’re really thin right now.” The Wolves are a young team with two seniors, both of whom have played four seasons with the program. Defenseman Matt Agner has seven goals this season and forward Joey Jacob has eight after scoring eight times with four assists last year. “They are good leaders, and they have
helped us get through the growing pains with the young team,” Erlenbusch said. “They help the team stay positive and help make sure the kids work hard in practice to get better.” Agner had a pair of goals in a 4-0 win over Dublin Scioto on Jan. 2 for the Wolves’ lone league victory this season. Jacob and junior left wing Patrick Roman also scored. “I try to make sure that I have been a role model and leader,” Agner said. “I try to do this by setting a good example showing how to play, show them how to play and make sure they don’t take dumb penalties.”
Mathess and freshman right wing Scott Humes scored against Olentangy. “We have to keep our heads up even though it has been a rough season,” Jacob said. “I thought we played well as a team (against Olentangy) and we just need to keep a positive attitude and keep working hard and things will come together for us.” Agner said the team received a confidence boost from the Olentangy game. “We played with confidence and they gave us space and we were able to move See HOCKEY, page B3
Worthington Christian Roundup
Trio providing leadership for boys team By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Guiding a roster that for the second consecutive season entered with significant inexperience hasn’t been easy for Worthington Christian High School boys basketball coach Kevin Weakley. Throw in the fact that the Warriors had to overcome significant injuries throughout the season’s first half, and they have found what Brooks Weygandt calls “playing the Worthington Christian way” to be an even tougher task. Fortunately for the Warriors, players like Weygandt and seniors Josh Petrel and Matt Rickly have a pretty good grasp of what that phrase means. Last fall as members of the Warriors’ boys soccer team that finished 16-5-2 and reached the Division III state final for a third consecutive season, Petrel (sweeper) and Rickly (defender) were starters and Weygandt (defender) saw significant action. After the basketball team lost four starters from last season to graduation or transfer, the trio has
“Playing together in soccer has helped us to create more chemistry in basketball,” Weygandt said. “(Petrel, Rickly and I) knew that we’ve needed to be more vocal on the court.” Weygandt has emerged as the team’s most consistent scorer. Through eight games, the 6-foot1 junior was averaging 12.3 points and had been in double figures in all but one contest. With Rickly out with bronchitis and Petrel missing his second consecutive game because of a back injury, Weygandt scored a career-high 19 points in a 60-57 loss to Johnstown on Jan. 4. Petrel and Rickly both were back in practice the day after the Johnstown game, which also saw seniors Jack Price (nine points) and David Sinclair (seven points) score season-highs.

He was expected to kind of guy.”
As the Worthington Kilbourne High School girls basketball team prepares to play host to Thomas Worthington on Friday, a point of emphasis figures to be containing Cardinals guard Natalie Carroll. The 5-foot-5 Carroll, who scored 10 points in a 66-44 victory over Kilbourne on Dec. 3, was averaging 12.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.7 steals through 11 games. She has made 16 3-pointers, shot 36 percent from 3-point range and 64 percent from the free throw line. “Natalie’s one of those hardnose, tough, gritty players,” Wolves coach Steve Palmer said. “She’s like a magnet. You know she’s going to get her shots and do some damage, but you don’t want to turn her loose.” After three years as Thomas’ point guard, Carroll was moved to shooting guard this season. She plays that position for her AAU team and Cardinals coach Laurie Barr believes the move has given the senior the chance to become a bigger threat. “It’s a lot to ask (a point guard) to not only set up the offense but to create shots inside and outside for themselves,” Barr said. “The fact that we have some other kids who can help out in that area has let Natalie do some of the other things. “Some nights she will shoot from behind the 3-point arc. Other nights they take away that from her and she drives the lane and takes shots.” The Cardinals, 8-3 overall after defeating Central Crossing 6646 last Friday, are tied with Upper Arlington and Dublin Coffman for first in the OCCCentral Division with a 6-1 record through the first round of play. Carroll, who scored 15 points against the Comets, looks forward to an intense game against Kilbourne. “I love playing Kilbourne,” Carroll said. “We know every single girl on that team and what they do on the court.” “Kilbourne always brings their ‘A’ game and plays us tough,” Barr said. “We’re going to have to be focused and ready to play them.” Kilbourne has not beaten Thomas since a 48-37 win during the 2007-08 season. The Cardinals own a commanding advantage in the rivalry since both teams ended up in the OCC-Central, winning five consecutive games by 20 or more points. The Wolves had won three consecutive games before losing to Coffman 61-25 last Friday. At 5-4 overall before playing Granville last Tuesday, Kilbourne See GIRLS, page B3

Wrestling
Squads plan new attacks for OCC duals By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
At a glance
The focus in practice has shifted now that the Thomas Worthington and Worthington Kilbourne high school wrestling teams are into their respective OCC-Central Division schedules. “Our training is geared toward getting pins and trying to capitalize on the ‘premium’ points that typically make a huge difference in a dual,� coach Ed Chism said after the host Wolves opened league duals by splitting matches against Central Crossing and Hilliard Davidson on Jan. 6. “Pins, they’re the heavy hitters of any dual meet. The pin is the ultimate scoring barometer.� Nobody has to explain that to Thomas coach Mark Gundling, whose team came out on the wrong side of the pin total while losing to Central Crossing 42-40 on Jan 6. The Cardinals also fell 69-12 to the Wildcats. “The focus in now is getting pins and not get pinned,� he said. “If you can hold your own in that category and don’t have a lot of forfeits, you’ll usually give yourself a pretty good chance in a dual meet.� Most coaches and wrestlers agree that a dual meet is a better gauge of a team’s overall strength. Many tournaments, on the other hand, often can be won by a team with as few as four or five strong individuals. Depth clearly becomes more of a factor in the dual meets, where major decisions (winning by 8-14 points) and technical falls (15-plus point wins) also add up. “That’s one of the reasons I re-

BOYS Continued from page B1 play at a fast tempo and score points in transition. Austin Parker was leading Kilbourne in scoring through 10 games, averaging 13 points, followed by Burian (7.8), Connor Dahn (7.2), Blake Collins (6.4) and Brian Hanks (5.1). “We’re going to push the ball and try to get it down there before their big guys can get set to block our shots,� Burian said. “We had some problems with turnovers when we tried to push the ball early in the season, but Jeremie Nsumbu and Brian Hanks are doing a good job handling the ball, and we’re a much better team when we play more aggressive than our opponents.� The Wolves beat Central Crossing 74-47 on Jan. 3 to win four consecutive games for the first time in program history. “We take a lot of pride in the fact that we’re the first Kilbourne team to ever win four in a row,� Parker said. “We’re finally play-

Duals make you think about things maybe a little differently.� Davidson competed in last Sunday’s Ohio Duals, an invitationonly event that rewards teams with the most points returning from last year’s district tournaments. The Wildcats are expected to contend for the OCC-Central title, and they were ranked third in the Jan. 5 Division I district coaches poll behind Olentangy Liberty and Teays Valley. Dublin Coffman, which was ranked seventh in the poll, went 7-0 to win last year’s league title as the Wildcats finished second at 6-1. Thomas competes Jan. 20 at Coffman while the Shamrocks play host to Kilbourne on Feb. 3. “It’s tough starting the dualmeet season with Davidson, obviously,� Chism said. “Our kids busted their butts getting ready, but we’re not making any excuses.

ing up-tempo and attacking the basket to score easy baskets and get to the free throw line, and it all starts with our defense. In order to run, we need to force turnovers first.� Miller said his team is prepared to grind it out in a lowscoring defensive battle if necessary, as it did Jan. 3 in a 3735 win over Hilliard Darby. But he said the Cardinals won’t be afraid to compete in an up-tempo game either, as they did in a 70-50 victory over Columbus East on Dec. 30. “We were fortunate to execute our offense well enough to beat Hilliard Darby, which is the best
defensive team in our league, for the first time since we’ve both played in the (OCC-Central) together,� Miller said. “But we like to push the tempo as well, so it could be an advantage for either team to get into a game running up and down the floor. “I’ve found that it’s advantageous to fast-break against a fastbreak team, because it’s hard to get back on defense when you’ve already run down the court on offense. A fast-paced game will only be a problem if they beat us down the floor consistently.� ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Wolves were without senior post player Darby McMullen and freshman guard Kayla Pack, both of whom were recovering from concussions, and junior guard Marissa Elliott, who was battling a foot injury. “We’re not that deep as a team and if you take away three players, we’re going to take a hit,” Palmer said. “I think it’s going to be a little better game this time around.” Both teams showed their explosiveness on Jan. 3. Tied at 23 early in the second half, Thomas closed the third quarter on an 18-3 run in a 5932 win over Hilliard Darby. Carroll made 11 of 15 free throws and led the Cardinals with 19 points. “We started out the season with a lot of defensive intensity but went flat for a few games in that area,” Barr said. “We watched some film and worked on that in the last week and a half. We showed the difference of what we have been working on defensively in the second half.” Trailing Central Crossing 2219, the Wolves outscored the Comets 17-1 in final eight minutes to post a 36-23 win. “Through the first three quarters, we shot ourselves in the

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio
FAB 5 By Jim Fischer
jfischer@thisweeknews.com
1 One day, a presently-young
film composer/pianist will perform a concert paying tribute to Dave Grusin, the Academy Award-winning film composer who, this weekend, pays tribute to film composer Henry Mancini in concerts with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. Or at least if there’s any justice, one will. Point being, Grusin’s career is heavily influenced by the great Mancini, so it would be appropriate to carry on the tradition. The CJO program is “A Night at the Movies,” and features Mancini tunes like The Pink Panther Theme and Baby Elephant Walk alongside other classic film repertoire, including Somewhere Over the Rainbow and As Time Goes By.
Dave Grusin
A jazz pianist (and record label exec — he’s the “G” in contemporary jazz giant GRP Records) as well as composer, Grusin’s film scores include Heaven Can Wait, On Golden Pond and Tootsie. Tickets for the Jan. 14-15 concerts at the Southern Theatre are $41-$49. Call (614) 294-5200.
STOMP is still cool. And hot, evidenced by the continuing presence of a North American Company, a permanent London Company and a European tour, all in addition to its 14-year continuous run in New York City. The brooms, plungers, trash cans and lighters are all back, but the troupe is always on the lookout for new “instruments” — this latest tour includes tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans.

Scotland-born David Francey has made his home in the Toronto area since his family moved there when he was a youngster. His upbringing in a working-class neighborhood imbues his songwriting with a poetic sense of the day-to-day. His latest work is a collaboration with Mike Ford of Moxy Früvous, inspired by their two-week journey aboard a 750foot bulk carrier on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Amelia Curran is a Maritimes native and resident for whom songwriting is but one of her pursuits — she is also a playwright and actress.

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

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, cheesedripping commodity – a New York-style pizza, complete with a crispy, foldable crust, 100-percent mozzarella and a house-mixed sauce. “The only thing that’s missing is the water,” he said. La Cerva’s goal was to create a true pizzeria, similar to the ones his father owned in the New York metropolitan area. “When I was a kid, I was stuck at a table folding pizza boxes,” he said. Thin-crust pizzas, cut into triangles no less, appeared to be an anomaly in central Ohio. Rarer still were by-theslice 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 somewhat concerned about the lack of foot traffic in his strip center but is confident his product is singular enough to draw people from all over the region. “I want to be the exclusive,” he said. “Everybody’s going to have to come over here.” Pies come in 14 and 16 inches, plus a 16-by-16 Sicilian alternative. Toppings include the traditional to more designer choices, such as roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes. A 16-inch
oats is being served at Starling’s new breakfast-and-lunch spot, Jodi’s Home Cooking, which recently took over the 29-seat Grace Diner space at 240 N. 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 anything,” she said. “I’m not much of a baker. I love to cook comfort food that fills people up.” Jodi’s Home Cooking is open for breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Sunday, closed Monday. For more information, call 614-785-0474.
