Chamber, city look to 2011 and beyond By KIM TOLLEY This Week Community Newspapers After struggling with tough decisions in 2010, Grandview Heights’ officials and business owners say they are optimistic about their city’s business and financial prospects in the new year. Last week, city officials and residents gathered at the new Hyatt Place in Grandview Yard for the Grandview Area Chamber of Commerce’s monthly luncheon. Those attending networked and exchanged ideas about new business prospects for 2011. “Despite the lingering recession over
the past two years, the economic downturn…and political gridlock affecting budgets and education funding, we are healthy in many ways, including our Ray DeGraw membership numbers, finances, and program participation,” said chamber president Dr. Francis Wilamosky. “Tough times don’t last but tough people do.” Presenting his state of the city address at the meeting, Grandview Heights Mayor Ray DeGraw noted that city officials had begun the last year with un-
certainty. “At the beginning of the year, the financial situation was interesting,” he recalled. “The council told us we needed to reduce the budget by $323,000.” Because of the financial constraints and council’s directive, the city put off replacing employees in vacant positions. It also delayed a number of infrastructure projects and reduced the budgets of the police and fire departments. In addition, DeGraw credited the city’s residents with overwhelmingly approving an increase in the city’s property and income taxes and voting for levies in May that aided both the city’s
schools and public library. Although the tax increases allowed the city to avoid cutting $1-million from the budget, DeGraw noted that there are still challenges ahead. “Our concern is that revenue will be less than expenditures for 2011,” he stated. “We are concerned about limited job growth this year.” DeGraw told the crowd that Grandview Heights could move from the survival mode it has been operating under for the past several years and that the city wants to develop both a short- and long-term community capital plan and future service goals. “The chamber is stronger than it’s
been in years,” he said. “We’re perceived as business-friendly. The city is moving in a positive direction.” During the lunch, Wilamosky and the chamber’s executive director Michelle Wilson thanked outgoing board members Linda Newberry of First City Bank, Pat Meyer of Member’s First Credit Union and Ron Cameron of Safeguard Business Printing for their service. The chamber also welcomed new board members Ann Graf of Holbrook and Manter; Jim Amstutz, owner of Ohio Power Tool; and Jason Clayton of Vital Film Works. www.ThisWeekNews.com

Grand reopening celebrated at site of building destroyed by fire By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Sunny skies and moderate winter weather greeted the grand reopening of Grandview Avenue Physical Therapy Monday at the Wagenbrenner Company’s new building on Grandview Avenue. The weather conditions were far different exactly two years earlier, when a fire damaged the two-story Kingswood Building beyond repair. On Jan. 17, 2009, frigid
temperatures played havoc with firefighting efforts and caused water from the fire hoses to freeze on the nearby trees. GAPT is the only original tenant to move back into the Wagenbrenner building site, now called The Windsor Building, on the east side of Grandview Avenue between Third and Fifth avenues. The reopening event included a ribboncutting ceremony, door prizes, free massages and food samples offered by two other future Windsor Building tenants, Matt the
Miller Restaurant and Orange Leaf Yogurt. GAPT is now open for business and excited to be back in its original location, owner Kevin Kerchansky said. “I think it’s fantastic what they’ve rebuilt here,” he said. “As soon as we saw the design, we knew we wanted to come back. We were able to find a temporary location within two weeks of the fire, but we always wanted to come back here. It’s the Grandview See WAGENBRENNER, page A2
Despite uncertainty about state funding for schools, Grandview Heights City Schools treasurer Tammy Rizzo had some simple advice for the board of education Jan. 11 during her tax budget hearing presentation. “Do not panic,” Rizzo said. “Over the course of the next six months you will hear many different budget projections and scenarios for cutting funding for public education in the 2012-13 biennial budget,” she said. Ohio is facing a projected $8billion deficit heading into the biennium budget, Rizzo said. Gov. John Kasich has until March 15 to submit a two-year budget plan and state legislators must pass a balanced budget by June 30. The State Board of Education recently submitted a biennial budget request calling for a 2.4 percent increase for fiscal year 2012 and a 2.1 percent increase for fiscal year 2013 over the current spending levels, she said. The department will also submit to the Office of Budget and Management two scenarios that reflect flat and 90 percent funding for fiscal year 2011 General Fund levels, Rizzo said. The sce-
Rizzo also presented a recap of the Grandview Yard project. According to the compensation agreement approved by the board, the district will receive 11 percent of the exempt value of all real property tax revenue for non-residential units and 15 to 60 percent for residential units, depending on the number of units and year of assessment. The agreement also includes a “hold-harmless” clause that prevents the district from losing revenue as a result of a reduction to the assessed value of real property during the construction of the yard. In February 2010, the assessed value decreased about $2-million, so the district is due a “hold-harmless” payment of $129,243, Rizzo said. In December, Nationwide Realty Investors started the process to create a fund through which the payment would be made and it is expected to be about a year before the creation of the fund is approved by the Franklin County Auditor’s Office, she said. Revenue assumptions for the district include that the transitional state aid guarantee reflects a 10 See BUDGET, page A2

If you do business at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles License Agency on Cemetery Road in Hilliard, you’re helping the Northwest Kiwanis club fund its programs in Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff. The Kiwanis License Agency offers driver’s license, plates, temporary tags, vehicle titles, outof-state inspections, voter registration, state ID cards and notary service. “As best we can figure, we started as a deputy registrar in 1935 (the club was formed in 1928), and have pretty well continuously had an agency ever since at various locations over all those years,” said Bill Snellgrove,

The agency used to be run by Kiwanians and their spouses, Snellgrove said, but now it’s professionally staffed. “We have volunteers spend a lot of hours over there overseeing it,” said Jim Cowardin, secretary for Northwest Kiwanis. “We bring outside money into the community.” “We use the profits to fund our projects in the community,” said Snellgrove, a former two-time president of the club who chairs the license agency committee. Among those projects is a youth soccer program, which is the reason Snellgrove joined the service organization whose motto is “changing the world one child, and one community, at a time.”

Grandview schools will begin one week earlier in 2011-12 By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Grandview Heights Board of Education Jan. 11 adopted school calendars for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years. Under the revised calendars, school will begin and end a week earlier than usual. The school years will begin on Aug. 17, 2011, and on Aug. 16, 2012. The last day of class next school year will be on May 30, 2012, and the following year school will end on May 29 2013. The earlier starting dates will allow students to complete semester exams before the holiday break in December, Superintendent Ed O’Reilly told the board. Students currently take semester exams after returning from the two-week holiday break, he said. The new schedule will mean they will not have to “walk in the door” and take exams after a long break from school, O’Reilly said. The district will also be able to start the school year with two professional days, he said. “This will give us an entire day to work with staff on professional development” and give teachers an entire day to get their classrooms ready for the start of school, O’Reilly said. A three-day staggered start for kindergarten classes will also take effect, he said. A third of kindergarten students only will come in to class on the first day, the next third only on the second day and the remaining students only on the third day, O’Reilly said. All students would then begin attending kindergarten on the fourth day of
class. By working initially with only a small number of students, the kindergarten teachers will be able to “get more purposeful assessment done,” he said. The assessments at the beginning of the school year will reEd O’Reilly place the assessment component of the district’s kindergarten round-up held each March, O’Reilly said. “Big changes can occur (in a child’s development) in the five months between the round-up and the start of school,” he said. A “kindergarten visitation day” will be held instead during the spring for incoming students and their parents, O’Reilly said. The board also approved a recommendation to adopt a minimum class size of 10 students for a separate half-day kindergarten classroom. In other business, the board approved a set of high school course offerings that would be offered next school year if a sufficient number of students sign up and no additional staffing is required. The proposed courses are career connections, strength and conditioning, film studies, contemporary literature, statistics, calculus extension, music theory and advanced placement courses in chemistry, biology, macroeconomics and European history. Offering the courses would help strengthen students’ transcripts and help Grandview match the kind of courses offered by other districts that earn excellent ratings on the state report card, Grandview Heights High School principal Jesse Truett said.

Avenue location that’s so special.” The business’ new space is smaller and more efficient than its original Kingswood Building office, Kerchansky said. He said he will never forget the day of the fire. “I was actually on the interstate on my way to a Pittsburgh Steelers game and I got a call saying, ‘Don’t come back, there’s been a fire,’” Kerchansky said. “It was devastating. It’s so good to be back.” As part of Monday’s festivities, Orange Leaf Yogurt owner George Scott was serving samples of yogurt. Orange Leaf plans to open its Windsor Building location around March 1, Scott said. Its first store is located in the Kingsdale shopping center in Upper Arlington. Orange Leaf serves only yogurt, 16 flavors in all with 40 different toppings available, he said. “We’re excited about opening here on Grandview Avenue and really appreciative to be included in the building,” Scott said. “Grandview Avenue is such a great location with all the activity and pedestrian traffic.” Chef Brian McCafferty of Matt the Miller was also serving up samples of the pub/tavern menu the restaurant offers. “We’re a family friendly restaurant, but it’s also a place you can have a fun night out and meet up with your buddies for some good food and a beer,” he said. Matt the Miller also operates a restaurant in Dublin, and McCafferty said the business did a lot of research to find the perfect location for its second outlet. “The Grandview area definitely has this great community-based feel that we want to be part of,” he said. “Grandview Avenue is a great location for a true ‘pour house’ style of restaurant like ours. There’s so much activity along the avenue.” Matt the Miller plans to open

in March or April, McCafferty said. Elli Nail Spa will occupy a fourth retail space on the Windsor Building’s first floor and a fifth business has signed a letter of intent to locate in the remaining storefront. The four-story building will include 27 one- and two-bedroom apartments on the upper three floors. Grandview Mayor Ray DeGraw was among those participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “It’s great to have the site rebuilt,” he said. “It fills a big void the fire left on Grandview Avenue.” “It’s exciting to have a building that’s even better than the original development,” said Patrik Bowman, Grandview’s director of administration/economic development. Having not only retail but residential units in the building will be a plus, he said. The fact that Wagenbrenner has filled the retail spaces so quickly indicates the viability of Grandview Avenue has not been affected by the Grandview Yard project, Bowman noted.

percent reduction in fiscal year 2011 and another 10 percent decrease in fiscal year 2012, Rizzo said. The guarantee is expected to remain flat in the coming years. “The district is wholly dependent on the guarantee for its school foundation revenues,” she said. The district will has begun collecting property tax revenues from the levy voters approved in November, Rizzo said, and beginning in fiscal year 2012, the district is projecting about $282,000 in hold-harmless revenues and funds for completion of phase 1 from the Yard. In all, the district will have about $15,731,358 in total operating resources in the general fund for the 2011-12 tax budget, she said. Expenditure assumptions include a basic wage increase of 2.75 percent for fiscal year 2012, Rizzo said. No base increase is included for fiscal year 2013 and beyond pending upcoming contract negotiations. Other projected expenditure
increases include 1.6 percent for inflation, 30 percent for health insurance and 10 percent for utilities, she said. The district is projected to have total operating expenditures of $16,430,875 in the 2011-12 tax budget general fund, Rizzo said. Current projections show the district will have a cash balance of $3,750,000 at the end of 201011 and nearly $3-million in 201112. The balance would continue to decrease until it reaches a deficit of $1.7-million 2014-15. The district promised voters the operating levy they approved in November would last three years. After the tax budget hearing, the board held its annual reorganizational meeting and renominated Kathy Lithgow to serve as board president and Joanne Peters as vice president. The board also agreed to change its meeting times and location. Board meetings will now be held at 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month in Brotherhood of the Rooks media center at the high school.

Moment in Time John Jonas Chester was a prominent Columbus attorney. Born in Newark, Ohio, in 1860, he was also an enthusiastic outdoorsman and real estate developer. In 1892 he purchased over 300 lots in what would become in 1906 Grandview Heights. His development was called “Chester Heights,” and its boundaries were present-day Elmwood Avenue to the east, Lincoln Avenue to the west, First Avenue to the north, and Goodale Boulevard to the south. In 1892 he also became a charter member of the “Bit and Bridal” riding club, whose members used the Urlin farmhouse, where Summit Chase is located today, as their club house. It was the first country club in central Ohio. John’s son John Jr. also was an attorney and gained notoriety as the prosecuting attorney during the 1929 murder trial of Dr. James H. Snook, a prominent Ohio State University professor who was executed for murdering his mistress, an OSU medical student.

statehouse. It was thought the building would be done in two years and cost about $200,000. The Statehouse took 22 years to build and cost $2,200,000. But now it was finally done. Occupied in 1857 after the old Statehouse burned in 1852, the new Statehouse was finally completed in 1861. It was worth the wait. It is one of America’s truly great buildings and a reflection of the strong and dedicated people who built it. On Feb. 13, 1861,Abraham Lincoln, soon to be inaugurated as President, passed through Columbus. After speaking to the Ohio General Assembly, he moved to the steps of the state capitol and spoke to the people. He concluded his brief remarks by saying, “I am doubly thankful that you have appeared here to give me this greeting. It is not much for me, as I shall soon pass away from you, but we have a large country and a large future before us, and the manifestations of goodwill towards the government, and affection for the Union which you may exhibit are of immense value to you and your posterity forever. (applause) In this point of view, it is that I thank you most heartily for the exhibition you have given me and with that allow me to bid you an affectionate farewell.” (deafening applause and cheers) In less than two months the “affection for the Union” of Columbus, Ohio, and the rest of the nation would be tested as never before with the beginning of the American Civil War.

other interests. When the people of Columbus are not walking, they are riding in a conveyance pulled by horses. The streets are full of horses — pulling carriages, and wagons and simple buggies. And all of those horses leave in the city streets a lot of what horses leave behind. A whole crew of convicted criminals spends most of their days walking the streets and picking up the detritus of the horses. But the most dangerous part of Columbus was the part most people never saw. The average life expectancy of an adult male in Columbus in 1861 was considerably less than 50 years. Unlike our own time, the life expectancy of adult women was even less. The death rate among women was higher because of complications of childbirth. The death rate among both men and women was higher because of a number of ailments for which vaccines and other curative medicines had yet to be discovered. In spite of all of these dangers and disagreeable aspects, people continued to come to the city of Columbus. They came for the same reasons people have been coming to cities for the past several hundred years: The city was where opportunity was waiting. To really appreciate the wonder of a city like Columbus, all one had to do in 1860 was wander to the middle of town and gaze across Statehouse Square. Rising from the middle of the square was one of the great buildings in 19thcentury America. More than 20 years earlier, in 1839, the small, frontier state of Ohio had decided to build a new

Columbus in the early days of 1861 was a town with a very good feeling about itself. Over the past few decades, Ohio’s capital city had grown from an almost invisible village of fewer than 2,000 inhabitants into a thriving city of more than 18,000 people. Other cities in Ohio were doing considerably better, to be sure. Cincinnati was the largest city in the state and indeed in the region. It was “the Queen City of the West.” And Cleveland to ED the north was growing rap- LENTZ idly as well. It was not as large as most other Ohio cities, but it soon would be. But Columbus in 1861 was doing quite well and showed every sign of even greater progress in the next few years to come. It was not hard to see why. In the early 1830s, Columbus was a village of fewer than 3,000 people. Since it was created by the Ohio General Assembly in 1812, the town had grown slowly but surely. Then, in the early 1830s, the Ohio Canal and the National Road arrived in Columbus. In less than two years, Columbus moved from being a village of 3,000 to a city of 5,000. And the growth of the city was far from over. In the 1840s and 1850s, Columbus became a major center of transportation and trade. And most of the growth of those years had little to do with canals or the national road. It was the coming of the railroad that made all the difference. In 1850, the Columbus and Xenia Railroad chugged into Columbus and established itself at the northern boundary of the city, where the convention center is today. In case one might wonder why a railroad was built to Xenia — a nice place, but rather small — the answer lay with people who had little to do with the town. Xenia was a terminal point for the Little Miami Railroad. What was it like to live in Columbus in 1861? In a few words, it was smelly, noxious and a little on the dangerous side. If we could take you back right now to the Columbus of 1861 and put you down at Broad and High streets, you would immediately notice several things. First, you would probably notice that your eyes were watering. The reason for this was not hard to find. Columbus in 1861 is a city that runs on coal. Burning coal heats one’s house, powers one’s business and is commonly used for many other purposes. Over the city hangs a pall of black smoke. The ash from that smoke clings to clothing and hair and seeps into the lungs. It will stain the brick of German Village houses and cling to the gravestones in the Old North Graveyard, where the North Market is today. Second, you would probably notice the smell of the city. Columbus in 1861 is a city where most people walk most of the time. The residents walk to school and to church. They walk to the market and walk to their business and

Netotian rolls first 300 game for Rams There are magic numbers in every sport. These are numbers that define great achievement in that particular endeavor. As most of us know, 300 is the magic number in bowling. It’s a perfect game, all strikes. When it is done, it is etched in one’s sports storybook forever. For Whitehall senior LARRY Nick Netotian, LARSON magic time came on Dec. 10 at Holiday Lanes in a match against Eastmoor Academy. For the first time in his young life, Netotian knocked down all the pins on his first throw every frame and nailed down his first 300 game. “It is what you dream of and you shoot for from the time you start bowling,” said Netotian, who is averaging 222.6 a game for the Rams. “My highest before was a 279. At the beginning of my perfect game I felt pretty good, but it wasn’t really anything special until after the eighth frame when I knew the possibilities that were ahead. “I got nervous and then this crowd formed behind me, which added to the pressure. I tried really hard to focus on my mark and let my ball do the work. When I came to the final frame I was a little bit shaken. I was a bit lucky in the frame before, so I felt a little more confident, and when I rolled the last ball I knew I had missed my mark, but I knew I didn’t miss it by much and my dream of a 300 game was realized. When the pins all fell, I felt so unbelievably relieved and it was just so sweet. I hope to bowl for my lifetime and hopefully I will get another 300, but no doubt I will always remember this first one.” Talking about his strengths as a bowler, the Whitehall standout said, “I think that being able to adjust to different lane conditions is one of my plusses and bowling good when it matters is another positive.

Grandview Heights Roundup
Wrestlers ready for home meet By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The wrestling season is winding down for Grandview Heights High School seniors Alex Minnillo and Dan Satterthwaite. This becomes even more apparent as the Grandview Invitational approaches. The 37th annual event will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and resumes at 10 a.m. Saturday, with finals slated for approximately 3:30 p.m. “I have to stay focused and I probably won’t have time to even think about it being my last home meet,” said Minnillo, a 145-pounder. “I’ll probably think about it afterward. But it should be fun because my friends will be there and it’s a chance to show the community what we can do.” Minnillo enters the event off a championship at 145 in the Licking Heights Invitational. Last Saturday, he defeated top-seeded Matt Straight of Whitehall 8-6 in the title match. “I was really happy for Alex because it was the first championship in his career,” coach Andy DiSabato said. “He has finished second at sectional twice, but this was his first bracket champiSee LARSON, page A6 onship.

DiSabato said some of the favorites include Hamilton Township, Licking Heights and Whitehall. “Hopefully we can get some people out to watch the Matcats in the tournament,” said DiSabato, whose team competes Wednesday in a quad at Caledonia River Valley and Jan. 28-29 at Marion Pleasant in the Sally George Invitational. “This is the one chance the community gets to watch us compete and we should have Alex and Danny, who have legitimate shots at winning their weight classes.” Satterthwaite finished third at 215 in the Licking Heights Invitational. The Bobcats were 11th of 15 teams with 53 points in the meet behind champion Westerville North (210.5). Last year, Satterthwaite was second at heavyweight in the home meet. “I was second last year and Alex wasn’t able to wrestle because he had By Chris Parker/ThisWeek a bad back,” Satterthwaite said. “Both of us have never won our tournament.

Girls basketball team still struggling with offense By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Mike Munden/ThisWeek
Ready’s Nikki Brown gets set to make a pass to teammate Dani Pugh (25) during the host Silver Knights’ 55-52 loss to DeSales last Saturday.
The negatives have been tough to ignore for the Ready High School girls basketball team as it prepares for the final stretch of the regular season. Other than during their 47-27 victory over Yellow Springs on Dec. 2, the Silver Knights were held to 41 or fewer points in each of their first 10 games. An example of Ready’s struggles on offense took place Jan. 13 during a 44-28 loss to visiting Hartley. After trailing 15-12 at halftime, the Silver Knights were outscored 18-1 in the third quarter and committed 17 second-half turnovers. Although Ready took a step forward offensively last Saturday during a 55-52 loss to DeSales, finding answers has been a difficult task for a roster featuring few players who can consistently score. “It’s like we’re in a chess match, but we’re playing with checkers,” coach Joe Lang said. “We compete for a half and when we’ve got to start making things happen, we don’t understand how to score. We have no go-to player. This isn’t football, where you sometimes can go out and win by only playing defense.” Dani Pugh is the only senior who sees regular playing time, and she and sophomore guard Kim Lloyd both average about nine points. Pugh put together a 24-point performance during a 44-39 victory over Marion Pleasant on Dec. 15, but scored in

OHSAA
Committee proposes new factors for divisions By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Including the state football championships won by Hartley and Watterson, non-public schools won five of the six state football titles and 19 of the 27 total state team championships awarded by the Ohio High School Athletic Association during the 2010 fall season. If the OHSAA has its way, it could be tougher in the future for non-public schools — which comprise just 12 percent of the OHSAA’s more than 800 members — to dominate at such a high level. On Jan. 13, the organization’s Board of Directors unanimously placed a new bylaw up for vote based on recommendations from the OHSAA’s Competitive Balance Committee that would be the first step toward chang-
ing how schools are assigned to tournament divisions. The proposed new bylaw, which initially would be instituted for football, boys and girls soccer and girls volleyball in the fall, boys and girls basketball in the winter, and baseball and softball in the spring, will be voted on by OHSAA member schools in May. The proposal states that each school will be placed into tournament divisions based on its sport-by-sport “athletic count,” which would be based on a three-part formula. If approved, implementation of the formula would begin no later than the 2013-14 school year and would be determined every other year by the Board of Directors. “The meetings we have conducted with the Competitive Balance Committee have been both productive and professional, and I believe the pro-

Riley Middendorf scored 12 points and Andy Treasure added eight. Entering the week, the Bobcats were tied with West Jefferson for third in the league behind Harvest Prep at 6-0 and Licking Heights at 5-1. Fisher Catholic was fifth at 3-3 with Berne Union and Liberty Union both at 1-5 and Millersport at 0-6. “We do a decent job of guarding people, we do a decent job of rebounding, but there are things we don’t do well,” said
posal from the group is fair and equitable and we will see some leveling of the playing field,” OHSAA Commissioner Dan Ross said in a press release. “Ohio is unique in that our public schools have the option to approve open-enrollment policies, but, at the same time, there’s no question that most non-public schools in the state have no geographical boundaries in which they can secure students, and the result has been a disproportionate number of championships won by those schools.” All OHSAA schools currently are placed into tournament divisions based strictly on enrollment figures that the schools submit to the Ohio Department of Education. The proposed three-part formula to establish “athletic counts” would require the OHSAA to include factors in three areas: school boundaries, socioeconomic

LARSON aspect of my sport.” Speaking about what bowling has done for him, Netotian said, “Bowling has taught me the importance of sticking with something and that carries over into lots of other aspects of my life. I love my sport and I love being around people that will always back you up when things are tough. Being good at a sport teaches you to stay with something until you finish it and getting better at bowling is like taking something apart and then putting it back together and making it better than it was before.” Netotian’s 300 game shows he is doing a great job of putting his skills to work at a very high level.

a very intense game and you absolutely have to stay on track. Confidence, like all sports, is so important. You are taught what to do to be successful, but how you apply that teaching is what counts. You have to trust your throw more and more as you get more experienced. “I started bowling when I was 6 years old over at Main Lanes. My parents bowled every Friday night and my dad coached me a lot when I was just starting. As I got stronger personally my throw got stronger, and at about the age of 13, I began noticing that I could put a hook on my throw and get the ball into pockets, and from that time on I have done pretty well.

factors and tradition factors. The “school boundary” factor would be divided into the categories of nonpublic schools with no boundaries, non-public schools with limited boundaries, public schools with statewide open enrollment, public schools with adjacent open enrollment and public schools with no open enrollment. The “socioeconomic factor” would be determined by the number of free lunch participants. The “tradition factor” would be determined by state championship game appearances, state tournament appearances and regional finals appearances. Once all three factors are applied to the enrollment count, each school would have a sport-by-sport “athletic count” for purposes of tournament division assignments. In central Ohio, schools that likely would be affected by some of the
changes would include DeSales, St. Charles and Ready, as well as Hartley and Watterson from the CCL, Columbus Academy from the MSL, traditional boys basketball and boys soccer power Worthington Christian and members of Columbus City Schools. The OHSAA’s Competitive Balance Committee was formed in January 2010 in response to concerns raised by a group of school administrators in northeast Ohio. The committee met numerous times throughout 2010 in an attempt to identify competitive balance factors and to propose changes. It was comprised of 29 school administrators and coaches from across the state from public and non-public schools. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
READY Continued from page A5 “We’re trying to keep teams guessing, but it’s very hard to keep up the defensive intensity when you can’t score. We have people who have had good games, but I never know who is going to have a good game. I think eventually we’ll get it turned around, but right now we just make a lot of poor decisions.” •Although it resulted in just two wins over its first nine games, boys basketball coach Don Worstell wasn’t disappointed with a defense that allowed an average of 50.5 points during that span. “We’re pleased with the kids right now,” Worstell said. “They’re working hard at it every day, although it hasn’t shown up on game night, which has been frustrating. But it’s starting to show. We’re giving up a considerable amount of our strength to youth, but defensively I think we’ve been fairly sound
all year. We value the defensive end and we’ve been reasonably good defensively, especially for us being such a young team.” The return of junior Derek Farmer from a shoulder injury over the holiday break has boosted an offense that was held to 41 or fewer points in eight of Ready’s first nine games. Farmer missed most of last season and all of summer conditioning in addition to not being available for Ready’s first five games this season. He scored 10 points during a 43-40 loss to Celina in the consolation game of the Celina HALLiday Shootout on Dec. 30. Farmer gives Ready another outside shooting threat to go along with junior Bo Hardy and sophomores Kris Clarke, Doug Strickler and Kyle Wilgus. Freshmen Brady Taylor and Matt Yoho, who are 6-foot-4 and 6-2, respectively, are others who have begun to contribute to a program that had just one senior at the start of the season in

Kyle Bergman. Senior Christian Knapper, who averaged 2.0 points and played 10 minutes in the Division III state championship game last March, wasn’t expected to play this season but has been cleared for activities. He has been recovering from a broken leg suffered during football. “We put ourselves in bad situations because of our inabilities to handle pressure,” Worstell said. “(Farmer) basically missed a year and a half, and even last year he missed all of the preseason. He definitely helps us, but if you’re a perimeter shooter in basketball, conditioning is vital, so that’s something he’s working on. “We’re getting pretty nice contributions on the rebounding end from Brady Taylor, our freshman post (player), and Matt Yoho is starting to really rebound the ball for us.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Downtown magic show to highlight the art of illusion By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Ron Spangler remembers the trip to his first Magi-Fest well. He didn’t make it. In 1978, he was headed there with a friend but a terrible snowstorm forced his mom to turn the car around and go home. Three years later, he successfully attended what he says is one of the biggest and oldest magic conventions in the country, and he hasn’t missed once since. Spangler, an Upper Arlington resident, has been named director of the 79-year-old convention, to be held Jan. 27-29 at the Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel. The Columbus convention, established in January 1932, is expected to draw about 600 people from across the country. “Every magician convention has a different angle,” said Spangler, a mechanical engineer. “One of our particular angles is we want to be a family-friendly convention. We want to be known for
that.” While the convention is generally for practitioners and devotees of magic, the general public is invited to attend the convention’s annual magic show at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29 at Veterans Memorial. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children. They are available online at www.magifest.com or will be on sale at the box office the night of the show. The headliner is Greg Frewin, who has his own theater in Niagara Falls. Spangler described it as a Las Vegas-style magical review, complete with a juggler, dancers and assistants. Meanwhile, the convention involves magic shows, lectures, competitions and sales of merchandise. The origins of Magi-Fest can be traced to two Ohio magic dealers, Sylvester Reilly and Robert Nelson. They co-founded Ring No. 7, a local chapter of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, in 1928. Spangler, 47, described the con-
vention as a sort of family reunion, with a lot of veterans of the convention introducing their children to the craft. “With a lot of kids, it just sticks. It stays with them. It stayed with me,” he said, adding that he doesn’t get to perform as much as he did in the past. Magic has changed over the past few decades, especially with the arrival of the Internet, which has revealed many closely guarded secrets, Spangler said. “If people really want to find it they can find it,” he said. “So magicians are trying to reinvent themselves to keep it fresh.” Jim King Sr. of wholesale supplier MAK Magic on the West Side has been involved with the convention for about 50 years. He said he’s watched participation grow, as well as interest in magic in recent years. “There’s more activity with magic, partly because of the Internet,” he said. “People can get on there and see stuff they normally wouldn’t see.”
