Study: Historic Dublin parking inconsistent By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Another look at parking in Historic Dublin has identified some areas going unused while other lots are full. Dublin City Council this week received a preliminary report on a new

study of parking in Historic Dublin that is close to wrapping up. The study looked at parking supply, operations and locations through “a number of studies, surveys, public meetings and interviews,” said Steve Langworthy, director of land use and long range planning.

“A very thorough job was done,” he said, noting that the study was extended to survey every business in the historic district. The study found 963 privately controlled parking spots in Historic Dublin, which accounts for 73 percent of parking in the area. Only 27 percent of park-

ing in Historic Dublin is public. Consultants Rich & Associates normally recommend 50 percent of parking be public. “We need to make a determined effort to increase the available supply of public parking,” Langworthy said. While public parking is sparse, the

study found there are areas going unused, while others such as the Darby lot are close to full. “Between 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. on the Thursday observation,” the study said, “the Darby Street Lot was nearly See STUDY:, page A2

District sets later start times for next school year By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin City Schools students can sleep later in the next school year. At the recommendation of the School Reform Task Force, Dublin’s elementary, middle and high schools will all start later for the 2011-12 school year. The high school day will run from 8 a.m. to 2:54 p.m. Middle school will run from 8:43 a.m. to 3:23 p.m. Elementary school will begin at 9:28 a.m. and end at 3:58 p.m., Dublin administrators announced at the Feb. 14 school board meeting. “I can guarantee you that these start and end times aren’t perfect

for every parent” or staff member, Superintendent David Axner said. “Our decision-making process is driven by what is best for students.” The task force, a committee of parents, teachers, staff, administrators and other representatives met for more than a year to look at best practices and research on school-day times. They originally recommended pushing back the high school start time by 45 minutes, but Axner pointed out that the research supports 30 minutes. The new 8 a.m. start time is 35 minutes later than the current high school start time. Studies have shown more sleep means better grades and fewer auto See START-STOP, page A6

Dublin approves Church celebrates ban on texting 200 years in Dublin while driving By JENNIFER NOBLIT

Dublin is the latest central Ohio community to take a stand against texting while driving. Council members voted unanimously Feb. 14 to add language that beefs up its full-time-attention law to specifically include texting. The amendment adds language that prohibits “sending, reading or writing a text message or accessing the Internet while driving.” The new law also makes texting while driving a primary offense, which means “a police officer may initiate a traffic stop based solely on a violation,” the city staff report said. The ordinance was amended slightly since its first reading Jan. 20. The city was contacted by AT&T with the suggestion of putting “manually” before “write” and replacing language that identifies GPS units. See CITY APPROVES BAN ON TEXTING, page A3

One year after the city celebrated its bicentennial, the Dublin Community Church will do the same. The Historic Dublin church will celebrate its bicentennial with two events this year, and continue to spread information on its long history. The Washington Gladden Chapel that sits on West Bridge Street, with its iconic bell tower, was built in 1877, but the Christian Church was founded in Dublin in 1811. With 200 years in Dublin, the church has a lot of roots in the community. Dublin Community Church member Barb Rizzo is helping with the bicentennial celebration and said several notables have attended the church

over the years. “A lot of people the schools were named after were members here,” she said, noting that the Karrer, Sells, Coffman and Pinney families had attended the church. “The Frantz family of Frantz Road came here,” church historian and longtime Dublin resident Chi Weber added. The collection of church history began with Emmett Karrer; church historian, Dick Termeer, said he gathered information on the Dublin Community Church and the longtime Dublin church St. John’s. The church’s anniversaries have also helped. “Each time we’ve gone through an See BICENTENNIAL, page A6

The “Good Books, Good Times” literacy festival came from two separate activities planned by teachers in Dublin City Schools. West Bridge Academy teacher Ryan Walton was planning a community service festival for his group, Grow to Serve; Indian Run Elementary teacher Dawn Boerger was planning a literacy event to kick off Read Across America week. The combination of both is a literacy festival planned for 2 to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 27 at Indian Run Elementary, 80 W. Bridge St., for students in kindergarten through grade five, with high school students serving as volunteers. “We were each planning our

own festivals,” Walton said. His was going to focus on the Grow to Serve organization, which combines high school students from all over the district for service projects. The group is in its inaugural year and has anywhere from six to 32 students at each meeting, Walton said.

“I wanted to get our name out there and do some service projects,” he said. Boerger, inspired by a literacy event put on by a Dublin City Schools librarian, approached Indian Run principal Janet Rinefierd to reserve the school for the afternoon and found Walton had beat her to it. “Janet said West Bridge is doing something, so we decided to work together,” she said. The Good Books, Good Times festival will have several stations set up around Indian Run Elementary for the younger students. High school volunteers will man the stations. “(Kindergarten) through fifth (grade) is our target group,” Boerger said. “The high school kids are pretty much our manSee LITERACY, page A2

Study: Historic Dublin parking inconsistent Continued from page A1 100 percent occupied.” Langworthy said this means promoting the use of the Indian Run lot behind Indian Run Elementary School. The city has an agreement with the school district to use the parking lot in the evenings. Langworthy also recommended the city work with Historic Dublin business owners to share private parking surpluses with neighboring businesses. Addressing employee parking and organizing a valet system is also on the list of recommendations from Langworthy. The study found that many people who work in Historic Dublin move their car every two hours because of a two-hour parking limit. The study also saw valets taking cars to the Darby Street lot instead of the Indian

Run lot. Council member Marilee ChinniciZuercher said she’s witnessed historic district employees moving their cars every two hours. “We can sit here and say we have parking available, but it’s not available in the areas we need it,” she said. Council member John Reiner suggested creating a parking authority. “It’s time to start a parking authority and get going on this problem that has plagued us,” he said. “We do have parking there, it’s just getting everyone and land owners down there in agreement.” Creating the right environment for Historic Dublin patrons to be willing to walk is key for Mayor Tim Lecklider. He said he walked three blocks to the Short North after the recent ice storm.

“If we’re willing to walk there, why not here,” he asked. Getting business owners in Historic Dublin in agreement on a parking plan was agreed to by several council members. “We need to reach out to businesses and put together plans to deal with short-term issues,” Richard Gerber said. “There are more businesses coming and that will compound the issue.” Reiner also suggested more aggressive ticketing and towing of vehicles that exceed the two-hour parking limit, and helping businesses and employees find another place to park. Langworthy said the Historic Dublin parking study should be finished next month, with a public meeting to follow. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Other stations include a book swap, building mini-greenhouses, writing letters to veterans and overseas military members, plantings that will later be donated to nursing homes and guest readers.

a Green Power Alternative Demonstrator, or G-PAD. The trailer demonstrator includes solar panels and a wind turbine to teach students about clean power, Walton said. While several different disciplines will be involved, literacy will still be key; books covering the subject of each station will be in a reading nook. Boerger’s first-grade class and Walton’s volunteers will make a trip to the Dublin branch library to gather the books.

“When I teach my kids to read, that’s lifelong,” Boerger said. “I want them to see that as a lifelong skill. It’s not something you can forget.” But Walton’s goal of service will also be apparent at the event. “It’s good for the elementary kids. They do service projects like collect food, but this is a different way to see service in the community,” Boerger said. “I want the high school kids to see (the elementary student’s) excitement. I want them to think, ‘I just helped

this kid do origami.’” Boerger said all Dublin elementary students will be invited to the literacy event that is free and open to the public. “Overall we hope it will be a fun afternoon of literacy with a lot of other academics mixed in,” she said.

Dublin Community City approves ban on texting while driving Church has deep roots in city Continued from page A1

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With 200 years in Dublin, the Dublin Community Church holds a lot of history — and not just for members. John Sells organized the Dublin Christian Church in 1811 and the first building for the church was built in 1821 at the corner of Bridge and High streets. A stone church, still standing, was built in 1844 at 53 N. High St. The Christian Church built a new brick building that is now the Washington Gladden Chapel in 1877. The 1912 cyclone was a milestone in the church’s history that changed the name from Dublin Christian Church. It was the only Dublin church that was not destroyed in the strong winds. “All three churches were partially destroyed,” church historian Chi Weber said. “This (church) was the survivor.” Church historian Dick Termeer said the term “cyclone” has been debated, but it managed to do some damage in Dublin. “They called it a cyclone. There wasn’t any twisting,” he said. “It came through the cemetery and knocked down tombstones and then split into two.” One half of the cyclone went north and destroyed the Presbyterian Church. The other half veered south and damaged the Christie Methodist Church. Pastor Washington Gladden, who is the namesake of the church’s chapel, managed to bring all of Dublin’s Christian, Methodist and Presbyterian churches together to form the Dublin Community Congregational Church. “Our (senior) pastor (Robert Tussing) has a riddle and says, ‘The Dublin Christian Church will

celebrate 200 years and the Dublin Community Church was started 100 years ago,’” said associate minister Lisa Bowersock. After the combining of churches, the new church had 228 members. In 1930 the church expanded and dug a basement under the Washington Gladden Chapel. “Any you have to remember Dublin is built on stone,” Weber said. Termeer said the church’s pastor drove to a local quarry to pick up dynamite to help with the work. “When he was hauling the dynamite back and had a blow out,” he said. The dynamite eventually arrived intact and Weber said the community worked hard on digging a basement. “Everyone in the community helped with the digging out, whether they were church members or not,” he said. The church has unwillingly been involved in some shenanigans over the years. According to Termeer, a common Halloween prank had local children running to the bell tower to ring the bell. Some tried to run before they were caught and others hid in the bell tower while they searched for the perpetrator. “Someone tied a wire to the rope one year,” said local historian and long-time church member Herb Jones. “He hung it out the window and out into the cemetery, so he could ring it from there.” In 1945 the chapel was damaged by fire, but was luckily only half a block from the new fire station on West Bridge Street that opened in 1944. “It was not bad enough that it blew out any of the windows,” Ter-

“It simply makes it clear (the law) would not apply to voice-activated systems,” interim police chief Heinz von Eckartsberg said. Gahanna resident Cheryl Montgomery addressed council before the passage of the law. She said distracted driving caused an accident in 2000 that led to the death of her husband. “I have hopes that Dublin will enforce the law more than other municipalities that have passed this,” she said, adding that education and enforcement are crucial. Montgomery also asked council mem-

bers to have the law evaluated in the future so any needed improvements could be made. “Conversation is the most dangerous distraction,” she said. Council members passed the amendment that prohibits texting while driving and makes it a fourth degree misdemeanor. Council members also approved a request from the Muirfield Association to replace three signs on Muirfield Road at Memorial Drive, Carnoustie Drive and Glick and Dublin Roads. The signs are in road rightof-way and require city approval. City engineer Paul Hammersmith said the wooden signs are deteriorating and the Muirfield Association will replace them

with monument signs with stone pillars. Council members agreed to waive $1,590 in city fees for the replacement of the signs. Dublin also received an award from United Healthcare at the Feb. 14 council meeting. The city was awarded the highest national award for a workplace health program, said Patricia Horvath, managing director of health strategies for United Healthcare. “Dublin is in a group of 10 elite performers,” she said. The city’s Healthy by Choice program for employees received the “Well Deserved Award” and $1,000 to put toward the program.

Tourism matters

Visitor guides still a resource for visitors and residents An astounding 95-million American adults used the Internet last year to plan their travel. There is no question the Internet has become the primary tool to promote a destination, but even in this new age of information gathering, consumers still depend on traditional visitor guides to assist in their travel decisions. As part of this year’s marketing strategy, the Dublin Convention & Visitors Bureau created a publication – The 2011 Official Dublin Visitor and Event Planning Guide. The marketing piece combines two of the bureau’s previous publications: the annual Visitor Guide and the Meeting and Event Planning Guide into a streamlined and highly visual resource tool that crosses markets, rather than segmenting them. The new guide serves as a comprehensive resource for both visitors and event planners, and is meant to inspire leisure visitors to consider Dublin as the site for their next reunion and event planners to consider lengthening their conference stays to take in our attractions and events. The guide, which is free and available at the Dublin Visitor Information Center in Historic Dublin, provides comprehensive information about the city from a visitor perspective. Some features include a history of Dublin, attractions, events, hotels, shopping, restaurants, golf courses and maps. Other features include “17 things to love about Dublin” and suggested vacation itineraries. Both visitors and residents will find useful event planning information about event sites, group dining and meeting facilities. In addition to offering free guides, the bureau provides a

variety of complimentary services such as delivering room rates, arranging site tours, assisting with offsite activities and offering formal presentations. The guide helps to raise awareness of Dublin as a great SCOTT destination. It is available at DRING the numerous Ohio Tourism Information Centers, AAA offices, local hotels, bureau trade shows, the Dublin Visitor Information Center, city of Dublin offices and other locations. The guide is also distributed as a result of visitor inquiries and during major events in the area such as the Dublin Irish Festival and The Memorial Tournament. We’ve created a digital version of the guide on our website so that visitors can browse and download it instantaneously. The digital version allows viewers to quickly turn the page online, zoom, easily navigate through the guide and move instantly from one page to another or print selected pages. The digital version also provides live website links to the various hotels, restaurants, attractions, etc. located within the guide. To view or download a digital version of The 2011 Official Dublin Visitor and Event Planning Guide, visit our website at www.IrishisanAttitude.com or pick up a copy at the Dublin Visitor Information Center at 9 S. High Street in Historic Dublin. Scott Dring is the executive director of the Dublin Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Just thinking

The mysteries of competitive cheerleading: Gimme a ‘why?’! not too. I’ve been in the convention center during cheerleading events, so I’ve seen such teams in person. They MARGO all seem to BARTLETT have French braids, fancy hair accessories, and mothers who trail behind, carrying makeup cases and jackets and pulling suitcases on wheels. Now for my question: Can some-one tell me who or what all these cheering squads are cheering for? I don’t deny they’re fun to watch. I like watching them even when they’re hitting the food court in their warm-up suits and curly ribbons. But it seems to me that cheering squads are like preposi-

I’m about to ask an awkward question, the kind of question that may get other people’s backs up, and maybe even inspire them to e-mail me the kind of messages that will depress me for the rest of the day. Still, I’m going to ask the question anyway, because I’m a journalist, sort of, and as such I’m supposed to ask the awkward questions. (I get extra points if I insert the phrase “as such” while I’m asking them.) Here’s the question. Well, before I ask it I should say that I saw a photo of a cheerleading squad in a newspaper the other day. The squad was competing in a cheerleading competition, so of course the girls were wearing their extremely cute uniforms with the name of the team on the front. I couldn’t tell by the picture, but I’m guessing they all had their hair fixed in intricate braids and what-

tions: they demand an object. Cheering without a crowd in front of you and a team behind is like taking the dog’s leash for a walk. What’s the point? Here I must insert a comment that would begin “In my day” if I weren’t trying very hard to avoid using that phrase. But I can’t help remembering my own high school football and basketball games, during which the cheerleaders would watch the action and introduce cheers at the appropriate times: “Two points! Two points!” when a forward was driving to the basket; “Take, take, take it away!” See JUST THINKING, page A5

began to argue that government should finance “internal improvements” like roads, canals and river work to “open the West” to commerce. And all of this should be financed by the federal government. Of course many people in the East were not thrilled with the idea that their taxes should subsidize public works that would help the Ohio River valley compete with their own commerce. So canals were more a dream than a reality for a number of years. Then the extraordinary success of the Erie Canal linking the East to the Great Lakes captured the imagination of the country in the years after the War of 1812. Soon many Ohioans were talking about canals and building one in the state. But talk was really the only result. Like many other times in the state’s history, forceful leadership was needed to bring canals to Ohio. In this case, that leadership was provided by Ethan Allen Brown. As early as 1816, Brown, a Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, had written to Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York seeking information about the canal system of that state. When Brown was elected governor in 1818, he proposed building a canal and continued to press for its construction. In the end the Ohio General Assembly agreed and studies were made as to possible locations. Two major canal systems — the Miami and Erie in the west and the Ohio and Erie in the east — were built with the support and

supervision of a number of people as committed to the project as Gov. Brown had been. Important among them was Alfred Kelley. Kelley had come to Columbus in 1816 to represent Cleveland in the assembly. He served for the next several decades, eventually representing Columbus as well. As a member of the Canal Commission he personally supervised the construction of much of the canal. When the economic depression of the 1830s threatened Ohio’s ability to pay interest due on its canal bonds, Kelley would pledge his own Columbus home as collateral to ensure payment on the bonds. Through the efforts of Kelley and many others, Columbus was linked to the main line of the Ohio and Erie Canal by a Feeder Canal that entered the city near the place where Bicentennial Park is today.

had green shutters and scarlet curtains. The inside panels of the cabins contained pictures and mirrors. The officers of the passenger boats were gentlemen. The cabin was a dining and sitting room in the daytime, but was converted into a sleeping apartment at night. There were staterooms at each end for the ladies, whose comfort was further promoted by the attentions of a polite and diligent stewardess. For years after the canal was opened, the boats always came in with a band of music playing on board. The captain of the boat usually played the clarinet for the entertainment of the passengers…” But all of this growth and success came with a price. The riverfront between the Main Street Canal Basin and the Broad Street Bridge came to be filled with docks for canal boats and warehouses lined the waterfront. Factories, inexpensive housing and even less attractive taverns soon followed. The river, once clear and pristine, soon became little more than an open sewer and a place few people willingly visited for leisurely recreation. The golden age of the Ohio and Erie Canal lasted for less than 30 years. By 1850, the first railroad had arrived in Columbus and within a few years, the canal began a long, slow decline. An attempt to revive the canal around the turn of the century was unsuccessful as well.

In 1860, a state arsenal — now the Cultural Arts Center — would be built next to the canal to permit easy movement of arms and ordnance in and out of the capital city. The canal and the recently arrived National Road transformed Columbus. As late as 1832, Columbus was a frontier village of a few thousand people. By 1834, Columbus was a city of five thousand people. Large numbers of travelers and immense quantities of freight arrived by both road and water and more than a few Columbus residents made their fortune in the new crossroads capital city. The canal and its people captured the imagination of the city. Longtime resident Emily Stewart later remembered, “The first canal boats seemed like fairy palaces. They were Ed Lentz writes a history column painted white and the windows for ThisWeek.

Continued from page A4 when the other team’s forward was driving to his basket. It always was his basket, too, because my day preceded Title IX by about 15 seconds. When sports are offered only to boys, girls swarm all over what’s left, and what was left in my high school was cheerleading. Two squads were chosen each year, one for football and one for basketball. Assuming roughly six girls to a squad – because precise accuracy would mean tracking down my yearbook, and you know what that means: goodbye to the rest of the afternoon – a total of 12 girls got to jump around on a playing field. That’s 12 out of a school whose classes had more than 725 students each. As for the rest of us, well, we were the cheer followers – the ones who leaned to the left, leaned to the right, stood up, sat down and shouted “Fight! Fight! Fight!” It didn’t feel like much at the time, but now, from the perspective of years, I see that we too were playing important parts in the grand scheme of things. We were lending context; we were giving the cheerleaders a raison d’etre. Without us, why would they run onto the football field during timeouts to shout out commands such as “Give me a T!”? As the spectators, we were holding up one end of the cheerleaders’platform, while the players held up the other. Now consider today’s many cheerleading squads. The names on the fronts of their cute little uniforms aren’t the names of teams or players. They’re just cute names that somebody picked out: the Twinkles. The Sparkles. The Peppy Girls. The Peppier Girls. And their cheers, when they shout them, don’t go out to athletes on a field where the score is tied near the end of the final period. They don’t unify a stadium full of frantic fans who just don’t know how they can live through the suspense of the next few minutes. No, they’re just shouting in a convention hall filled with other teams just like them. This would be okay if they were going home at the end of the day to their athletes and their fans, but they aren’t. What they’re doing here – urging phantom crowds to cheer for phantom teams – is all there is. “Everybody can use a little cheer in this world,” I hear someone, probably a cheerleader’s mother, saying. I can’t deny that cheer always comes in handy. Is this the way to get it, though – via little girls in kicky uniforms, shouting aimlessly? Personally, I get a lift when I see boys playing volleyball.

AN OPEN-AND-SHUT CASE? It may seem like a good idea to close a credit card account in order to avoid added debt; however, doing so may have adverse consequences. To begin with, those with outstanding balances on their credit cards will find that a card cancellation will change their “credit utilization rate,” the amount they have charged on their credit cards versus the total amount of available credit. For example, a cardholder with an outstanding balance of $2,000 and a combined limit of $10,000 has a utilization rate of 20%. By closing one account and maintaining the same $2,000 balance, the cardholder would see a rise in utilization rate. Because lenders favor low utilization rates, card cancellation would hurt in this case. After the holiday season, many people are receiving large credit card bills. If you plan to apply for a mortgage or other loan, be aware that lenders prefer low utilization rates on these cards.

Most importantly, I will routinely review portfolios and make adjustments if needed. Please call me at 614-734-8458 for independent, unbiased financial guidance.

Church has deep roots in city Continued from page A3 meer said. The fire did have the church retreat to the high school for services for a year. The church had to repair the floor and replace pews. “We still have the same pews we replaced after the fire,” Termeer said. A major turning point for the church, according to Weber, was

the acquisition of land between the church and Franklin Street. “It was the Horch property,” he said. “There was a Victorian house there.” The church tried to negotiate with the property owners, and Weber said an agreement that let them stay in their home as long as they wanted finally sealed the deal. “That made all the difference by acquiring that property,” Weber

said. The land now holds the church’s new sanctuary along with other additions that began in the 1950s. Growth for the church has occurred over several years, although Weber said, “The real growth has been in the past five years.” “It’s been gradual,” Bowersock said, adding that the church currently has 600 to 700 members.

BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION Continued from page A1 anniversary of when we’ve had a major building (project) we talk about the history,” Termeer said. “Dick (Termeer) talks to young people at confirmation about the history, so we pass it on,” associate minister Lisa Bowersock said. The Founders Day celebration on April 10 will honor the church’s history with a service and potluck. “All of our previous pastors have been invited,” Rizzo said. The community is also invited. “At one time or another most people in the community have set foot in here,” Rizzo said, noting that the Dublin Community Church houses the Dublin Food Pantry, a Boy Scout troop and holds numerous blood drives. “It’s a landmark,” Weber added. The church has long been a center of the community, especially with its position in Historic Dublin across from the 1919 building which once housed all of Dublin’s schools.

“When we were growing up there was only church and school,” said Dick Termeer, another church historian. “They used to say you can go to church and school and die all within half a mile,” Weber said. While everyone is invited to celebrate the church’s bicentennial, Rizzo said the church has always been inclusive. “It’s always been that way,” Weber added. Bowerstock said the church welcomes women of all faiths to weekly Women of Religious Diversity, or WORD, meetings. “We have many women come that aren’t members of the church, or even our faith,” she said. The church also tries to reach out in other ways. “We’re the only church on Bridge Street that has a cornhole tournament,” Weber said. The bicentennial celebration will continue later this year when a Washington Gladden interpreter will lead an outdoor service in August.

accidents among teens. In a survey conducted by the task force, 42 percent of Dublin students surveyed admitted to falling asleep during class one or more times a week, and 37 percent of students reported driving to school feeling drowsy one or more times a week. Busing changes helped the district create the new plan, which pushes the first pick up time for high school students 45 minutes later than the current 6:20 a.m. pickup, Axner said. “Thanks to (transportation director) Jeff (Cosby) and his staff, we were able to shrink the times between buildings,” Axner said. “We pushed the arrival time clos-

er to the start of school.” Cosby said the new tighter routes will be a challenge, but will allow for greater driver flexibility and won’t cost the district more for additional drivers or buses. “The more (students) we can transport per day with one bus and one driver, the more efficient we are,” he said. Another benefit of the later start times: almost all school transportation will now take place during daylight hours, which is safer for bus riders as well as for those students who bike or walk to school. High school students will notice another difference to their school day — the elimination of homerooms.

“We made the high school day six minutes shorter,” said Tracey Miller, director of secondary education. First period will be two minutes longer to accommodate any announcements that need to be made before the start of the school day. In addition, the time change should not negatively affect participation in extracurricular activities, said director of elementary education Casey Cosgray. Dublin schools officials plan to track how the start times affect behavioral incidents and academic achievement in order to see whether changes need to be made and to pass that data along to other school districts, Axner said.

Friend also foe for Scioto’s Harty By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin Scioto High School swimmer Liz Harty has a longstanding friendship with Pickerington Central swimmer Maddie Martin. However, when the two compete against each other, it’s all business, said Harty, a sophomore. The two will face off at the Division I district meet on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Ohio State. Martin, also a sophomore, enjoyed

the upper hand in their latest competition, as she finished first in the 100yard freestyle (53.70 seconds) and 100 butterfly (57.56) at the Worthington sectional on Feb. 12. Harty was second in both events in 54.96 and 59.44, respectively. “We’re really good friends,” Harty said. “We’ve been friends since we were little because we’ve been racing each other. We are just happy to get one, two and just qualify for district. We’re both really competitive, but we also support each other, so we’re both

happy for each other.” The Scioto girls finished 10th (60 points) behind first-place Thomas Worthington (194). Harty is looking for a return trip to the state meet on Feb. 25-26 at Branin Natatorium in Canton. Last season at state, she was seventh in the 100 free (53.0) and 100 fly (57.87). At district, she is seeded fourth in the 100 fly and seventh in the 100 free. Harty also will compete on the 200 free and 200 medley relays. The top three individuals in each

event and the top four divers automatically qualify to state. The Scioto boys team finished fifth (114) behind first-place New Albany (238) at sectional. Freshman Hayato Ida led the Irish, finishing fourth in the 100 breaststroke (1:03.82) and fifth in the 200 individual medley (2:08.76). Sophomore Noah Schuster was fifth in the 100 backstroke (59.38). Schuster and Ida will compete on the 200 medley relay at district. “I’m very happy,” coach Joe Cahill said. “I just want to have a good show-

ing at district. There are a few swimmers I’d like to move on to state, but for the most part I want them to have a good time, improve on the time they had (at sectional) and finish off a good season.” •Coffman qualified seven girls and seven boys in individual events for district from the Upper Arlington sectional on Feb. 12. Junior Nichole Gill won the 100 breast (1:09.37) and finished fifth in the 200 IM (2:13.48). Gill, who is seedSee SWIM, page B4

higher,” Hale said. “We were seeded below some teams we had beaten.” Hale was an assistant under second-year Delaware coach Jordan Blackburn before leaving for Jerome. He knows what to expect from the Pacers, who are 13-6 overall. “They have a lot of talent on that team,” Hale said. “It will be a tough draw, but it will be nice to be going up against those guys. The coaches will have a lot of fun with the game.” The Pacers are led by guards Matt Bingaya and Mike Wells. Bingaya, a 6-foot-4 junior, averages 22.8 points and 10.9 rebounds. He also shoots 63.5 percent from the floor and 75.8 percent on free throws. Bingaya’s game developed with the addition of Wells, a 5-7 sophomore transfer from Worthington Christian. The point guard

Last season’s Dublin Coffman High School wrestling team made a run at a Division I sectional title with eight district qualifiers. Coach Bob Stoll doesn’t expect to match those numbers Saturday, Feb. 19, at Pickerington North, but postseason wrestling often produces surprises. The Shamrocks were ranked fifth in last week’s area coaches poll. Olentangy Liberty was first. “Our better guys really have some good draws,” Stoll said. “We’ve got Liberty, Teays Valley and the two Pickerington’s (Central and North) in our group, which will make it tough, but it could be the best sectional for us to get guys through.” Returning state qualifier Ryan Murdock (34-2 overall, 112 pounds) enters the sectional ranked second in the Brian Brakeman High School Wrestling Forecast. He took fifth at 103 last season as the first Coffman wrestler to compete at state in four years. Junior Chris Mullucey (307, 103), a returning district qualifier, was ranked eighth in the Brakeman forecast. Senior Anthony Goliver (152, 18-6) also reached district last season. “If the other guys get hot, it’s hard to know what might happen,” said Stoll, whose team went 4-2 in the OCC-Central Division and tied Worthington Kilbourne for third behind champion Hilliard Davidson (70) and Hilliard Darby (6-1), and ahead of Upper Arlington (34), Central Crossing (2-5), Westland (1-6) and Thomas Worthington (0-7). •Jerome coach Adam Huddle expects more from his team, which has failed to send a wrestler to state in six seasons. Three-time district qualifier Casey Nicholson (27-4, 130) and district qualifier Brad Myers (171, 29-4) might provide the best hope for the Celtics to reach state next month. Huddle also has been pleased with sophomore Bennett Comfort (29-7, 112) and junior Jack Austin (32-12, 140), who did not lose a match in the OCCCardinal. Jerome, which competes at the Westland sectional on Feb. 19, struggled through a difficult league dual schedule that included three of the area’s top teams in Liberty, Olentangy and Marysville. “It’s not so much about optimism, but that we’re just a better wrestling team than we’ve ever been,” Huddle said. “The way I look at it we’ve got eight or nine guys who could get into the district tournament. Our max has been two. It’s time to expect a little bit more.” •An inexperienced Scioto team enters the tournament with one returning district qualifier

Jerome boys district draw delivers Delaware By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dave Hale stuck with something familiar when choosing a postseason opponent for his Dublin Jerome High School boys basketball team. At the Division I district tournament draw on Feb. 13 at Olentangy Liberty, Hale selected a first-round game with Delaware, a program in which he was an assistant coach last season. The teams will meet at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, at Jonathan Alder. “We were kind of in a tough position from where we were selecting,” said Hale, whose team had the 33rd selection of 42 teams. “We thought we would give it a go against (Delaware) and see what happens.” The Celtics were seeded behind No. 30 Dublin Scioto and No. 32 Hilliard Darby even though they beat Scioto 51-39 on Jan. 7 and 43-40 on Feb. 11, and defeated Darby 49-37 on Dec. 30. “I thought we would have been seeded

in the closing seconds of the first meeting, but Christian Heine’s jump shot in the lane was blocked by Sullivan with 3.5 seconds left. The loss was the first of three the Shamrocks suffered in an eight-day span. They have won seven in a row since and appear to be rounding into postseason form. Guard Zack Riddle is averaging a team-best 15.9 points and had a career-high 30 points in a 63-40 victory over Worthington Kilbourne on Feb. 11. Heine, a guard, is second at 13.1 and wing player Adam Hall averages 9.5 but has averaged 13.0 over the past six games. “I don’t know that we are doing anything different (since the losing stretch), but I’m happy how we’re playing,” Collins said. “Are we perfect? No. But I like a lot of things we’re doing and how we’re approaching games right now.” •TOURNEY INFO — Coffman is seeded seventh for the district tournament and faces Logan in the first round at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at Hilliard Bradley.

Jerome’s Ruddle defends OCC-Capital all-around By FRANK DiRENNA

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin Jerome High School gymnast Hannah Ruddle set herself up for a strong postseason by defending her OCC-Capital Division all-around title on Feb. 12 at Worthington Kilbourne. Ruddle, a junior, finished first on floor exercise (8.75) and balance beam (8.775) on her way to a second consecutive allaround title (33.725), edging Olentangy Orange’s Becca Keane (33.025). Ruddle was second on uneven bars (8.25) and 11th on vault (7.95). “There’s a lot of pressure to try to be good on each event individually and in all-around,” Ruddle said. Ruddle helped the Celtics finish third (123.10) behind Orange (126.90) and Hilliard Bradley (125.675), and ahead of Big Walnut (122.675), Mount Vernon (109.275) and Central Crossing (36.175). Jerome finished fifth in the OCC-Capital at 1-4, behind Orange (5-0), Bradley (4-1), Big Walnut (3-2) and Mount Vernon (2-3) and ahead of Central

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Coffman, Jerome and Scioto gymnastics teams: COFFMAN Feb. 4 — Finished fourth (124.925) behind first-place DeSales (133.725) in eight-team Sweeney Invitational Feb. 7 — Lost to Thomas Worthington 133.25-133. Amelia Thomas was first on vault (8.3) and balance beam (8.75). Feb. 12 — Finished third (130.2) behind first-place Thomas (133.575) in OCC-Ohio meet Feb. 26 — District meet at Wor-

Crossing (0-5). Junior Bailey Burkholder, who returned to practice last week after suffering a concussion in mid-January, finished sixth in the all-around (32.075) at the league meet. She was fourth on bars (8.1). Jerome finished first on bars (30.575). “This is only the second meet we’ve had a full lineup because we’ve had a lot of injuries,” Ruddle said. “It was nice to have everyone here. It helped a lot having an extra fallback score on some events.” The Celtics now will prepare

for the district meet Feb. 26 at Kilbourne. The top three teams and top eight individuals in each event, including all-around, will advance to the state meet March 4-5 at Bradley. Last season at district, Jerome (124.025) finished 11th behind first-place DeSales (135.325). The Celtics hope to better that mark this season. “We have two weeks to prepare for district,” coach Kristen Willms said. “We definitely have room for improvement. We counted five falls in our team score (at the OCC-Capi-

tal meet). That’s two and a half points, so we would obviously like to eliminate those at district. There’s a couple of upgrades in our routines that we’re working on that I think will be ready in two weeks, so hopefully we’ll see an even higher score then.” •Though it had a disappointing day individually, according to coach Julie Kayser, Coffman finished third (130.2) behind Thomas Worthington (133.575) and Olentangy (132.55) in the OCC-Ohio meet at Kilbourne. The Shamrocks finished ahead of Hilliard Darby (129.6), Grove City (128.95) and Upper Arlington (120.675). “We fell all over the place on bars and beam, so I’m actually happy with our overall standings,” Kayser said. “We have two weeks now (to prepare for district). We will be doing routine after routine after routine to get consistent.” Coffman finished fourth (23) in the OCC-Ohio standings, behind Thomas (5-0), Darby (41) and Olentangy (3-2) and ahead of Grove City (1-4) and Upper Arlington (0-5). Junior Katie Strand, who

missed the postseason last year after suffering a torn ACL in her left knee during the Rock-n-Roll Invitational at BrecksvilleBroadview Heights, has seen limited action in her return to the lineup. Strand, who did not compete on vault at the OCC-Ohio meet, finished fourth on bars (8.175). As a freshman, Strand finished 12th at district in allaround (34.15) and qualified for state on floor (8.95). “It feels really good to be back,” Strand said. “I wasn’t even thinking I was going to be competing this year, so even the fact that I’m competing is huge for me.” Coffman finished fifth (129.25) at district last year. •Scioto turned in a seasonbest effort at the OCC-Central meet, collecting 109.625 points to finish fourth behind host Kilbourne (134.975), Olentangy Liberty (128.775) and Delaware (121.6), and ahead of Hilliard Davidson (108.125) and Westland (70.5). “Warm-ups were a little shaky, but they pulled it together during competition, and as a coach, that’s all I can ask for,” coach

Dana Ullmann said. “They came together as a team and worked hard. They were cheering the whole time. They did very well, so I’m very pleased with them.” The Irish’s previous high this season was 105.3 points in a quad meet against Buckeye Valley, Delaware and Liberty on Jan. 12. Courtney Thorne led Scioto at the OCC meet, finishing ninth in the all-around (30.35). She was 10th on bars (6.9). “This helps us get ready for district because they know they can handle the pressure,” Ullmann said. Last season at district, the Irish finished sixth (128.65) and qualified Paige Waugh and Minori Minagawa for state. Both decided not to compete this season. Scioto went 1-4 in the OCCCentral this season to finish fifth behind Kilbourne (5-0), Liberty (4-1), Delaware (3-2) and Davidson (2-3) and ahead of Westland (0-5). www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Hannah Scipio, a 5-foot-4 sophomore guard, scored 16 points and senior Madi Miller, a 5-8 guard/forward, added 10 points. “I think they are definitely dominated by two talented guards in Miller and Scipio,” Celtics coach Matt Martin said. “They are never out of any game because they can score in bunches. They are a scrappy, hard-nosed group.”

HOCKEY Continued from page B1 Koehler early in the third period to tie the game, before Sam O’Brien scored on a four-onthree power play to put Coffman ahead 2-1 with 10 minutes, 2 seconds remaining. O’Brien was assisted by Gregory Strine and Matt Smith. Smith returned to play in the tournament after missing the previous 15 games with a broken wrist. The Shamrocks’ forward line of O’Brien, Putnam and Ian Flinders was effective throughout the tournament, scoring six goals in Coffman’s 10-3 win over fifth-seeded St. Charles on Feb. 10 and both goals in its 21 semifinal win over top-seeded Jerome on Feb. 11. “Our first line is tough to contain, because those guys have so much creativity and skill,” said Coffman assistant coach Scott Adamick, who filled in as head coach for Perry Pooley, who was coaching his son’s youth club hockey team in a tournament in Montreal. “We played well and had our chances. Look at the number of power plays we had that we didn’t capitalize on, especially with the two-man advantage. It’s do-ordie in those situations and when you don’t score on power plays, most of the time it comes back to bite you. But give credit to their goaltender, because he played phenomenal.” The Patriots tied the game at 2 less than three minutes after O’Brien’s goal when Koehler fired a shot off goaltender Nathan Schuman’s pads and Kyle Horner knocked the loose puck into an open portion of the net.

It was a pretty good day.” Seniors Srikanth Gowda and Tim O’Brien and junior Orion Martin led the Coffman boys at sectional, as the team finished third (128) behind champion UA (414). Martin finished third in the 100 free (49.65) and fourth in the 200 free (1:47.53). “Once you get past sectionals, district is really heavily competitive and then even getting to state from there is a challenge,” Martin said. O’Brien finished fourth in the 200 IM (2:01.17) and fifth in the 100 back (55.48), and Gowda was third in the 100 fly (53.97) and is seeded third in the event at district. All three swimmers will compete on the 200 medley and 400 free relays at district. “I was very happy with how the boys swam,” VonSchrilitz said. “Srikanth had a great meet for not being rested, and Tim and Orion positioned themselves very well for (this weekend).” •Jerome will look to its underclassmen for success at district. Freshman Morgan Quesnel qualified for her first district meet after a strong showing at sectional. She finished third in the 100 fly (59.69) and fourth in the 100 free (55.07).

CELTICS Continued from page B3 McCoy added seven points. “When we had our five-game winning streak, we were playing some high-caliber teams like Olentangy, (Dublin) Coffman and Jonathan Alder,” Martin said. “We lost some energy because it has been a long season and we weren’t very healthy. We now need to regroup and focus for the new season in the district tournament.” Olentangy won the OCCCardinal at 12-2 followed by Scioto (10-4), North (9-5), Jerome and Central (both 7-7), South (5-9) and Liberty and Marysville (both 3-11).

Irish festival took in $1.8M, spent $1.5M By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Initial attendance counts for the 2010 Dublin Irish Festival showed a slight drop from 2009, but things changed six months later. Festival organizers said a computer glitch misreported children’s tickets on the final day of the festival; both revenues and attendance likely increased at the 2010 event. “Computers only counted about 200 kids,” said events manager Alison LeRoy, noting that many more wrist bands were sold that day. “We pretty much have to estimate (that attendance) held steady for the year. I think we were down 1,500, so we were at least at where we were last year, if not a little higher.”

Gross revenues for the threeday festival— held the first weekend of August — increased by 7percent in 2010 and other areas showed improvement. With an estimated economic impact of $6.12-million, the festival took in $1.8-million in 2010 and spent $1.5-million. The Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau reported record overnight stays in Dublin, a 24-percent increase, the report said. Revenue from the festival returns to Dublin’s hotel/motel tax fund to support community organizations and events. “We were really proud, especially of how well we did with sponsorship this year, especially with the economy we’re in,” LeRoy said. “We’ve had increases over the last two years. Everybody was so worried, but I think

we’ve really done a good job explaining to (sponsors) it’s really a cost-effective way to market. They see it as a good way to reach their audience.” Cash sponsorship for 2010 increased by 14 percent from 2009 and in-kind contributions increased by 36 percent. “These donations of goods and services help the festival greatly reduce expenses,” the 2010 report said. Some money spent at the festival will go back to the community through the “Sharing O’ the Green” program that allows community groups to volunteer at the festival and raise money. Groups including the Dublin AM Rotary, Dublin Singers, Miracle League and Coffman Hock-

Irish festival took in $1.8M, spent $1.5M Continued from page B5 ey Association raised $122,800, which was an 18percent increase over money raised in 2009. The Dublin Food Pantry also benefited from the festival. Entry into the festival was free on Sunday before 11 a.m. with the donation of a canned good. The collection netted 10,000 pounds of the food. Surveys answered by festival attendees were also largely positive. People surveyed stayed at the festival for an average of 8.6 hours, which is an hour improvement over 2009, and 17-percent attended each day of the festival. According to the report, 99-percent of those surveyed ranked their Dublin Irish Festival experience as “terrific” or “good.”

LeRoy said other festival organizers are amazed when they hear the average stay at the festival. “We’ve always been pretty proud of the satisfaction rating,” she said. “When we talk to other festivals and tell them how long people stay, they’re always impressed.” Planning for the 2011 Dublin Irish Festival, which will run Aug. 5-7, is under way and LeRoy said contracts have been sent out for about 80 percent of the entertainment. Planning has also extended beyond this summer. “We’re gearing up for next year; 2012 is going to be the 25th year and we’re already starting plans,” she said. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Lots of vino and voluptuous food at Tucci’s in Dublin The first thing you notice when you tread into the terrific Tucci’s is a chalkboard with 16 special wines listed on it. These are all available in two-, four- and sixounce pours that will never be overoxidized because Tucci’s owns a fancy Enomatica machine. If you’ve never seen one, they’re sleek, state-of-the-art appliances that feature high-tech wine preservation systems and deliver automated pours. Given this fact — and the existence of about 150 more wines on Tucci’s menu — it’s clear vino is big here. But you could have gathered that from all the burgundyred accents in the casually elegant restaurant or from the convivial laughter bubbling up from its bustling, bottle-laden tables. Don’t think that Tucci’s is consistently busy just because of its hooch, though. No, this prettily

MENU by G.A. Benton golden-glowing eatery with both intimate and communal seating serves some of the best food around. Toss in a friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff, and you have one of the top-tier restaurants in the area. Tucci’s menu is big but not overwhelming. It’s filled with influences from Italy, Asia, California and even Hawaii. Most of these influences surface in the huge Outrigger Canoe Combo appetizer ($17). That fun, fry-happy app came with a boatload of: spicy scallops (perfectly “blackened,” served with a mustardy sauce and cooling gorgonzola); calamari laced with ba-

nana peppers and Parmesan (matched with a sort of Italian salsa); colorful Big Island Chips (made with root veggies like taro and lotus); and a shiitake, tomato and onion filled eggroll with a cit-

rusy soy sauce. For a more modest starter, pick the Bibb Salad ($7). Like an elegant upgrade from that popular and still-resurgent iceberg wedge, its tender leaves of bibb lettuce were coated in a horseradishy gorgonzola dressing and further flattered by crispy bacon lardons and diced tomatoes. Some of the best dining deals here are Tucci’s good, handmade pizzas ($10-$12) and stylish pastas ($10-$18, available in smaller sized and priced portions). From the latter, the Spaghetti Bolognese ($10 for the “small” — it was big) was a winner. A chunky, believable and completely delicious bolognese sauce was tossed with whole wheat pasta. The sophisticated entree had a complex, parmesan-enhanced richness slightly leavened by bits of bright tomato.

Tucci’s 35 N. High St., Dublin 614-792-3466 Web: tuccisbistro.com Cuisine: Italian Price: $$$ ($20-$30 per person) Patio: Yes Hours: 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Monday-Friday lunch, 5-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 5-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday Tucci’s proudly serves organically raised, grass-fed beef. This makes its great 14-ounce New York Strip Steak ($35) a relatively guiltrestrained splurge. Beautifully grillseared, it was thick and lean but super juicy and had a mild but nice “chew.” Its very fine plate mates (garlicky sauteed spinach and mushrooms, fingerling potatoes and a fruity “cabernet demi”) were

cleverly designed to keep the focus on the high-grade meat. Seafood’s prevalent here, too. It comes in various varieties and styles, but even fish eschewers probably couldn’t resist the refined fish-n-chips treatment of the Chorizo-Crusted Grouper ($23). I loved its crunchy crust (with bits of spicy sausage) and goat cheese potato cake as well as its spicy “tomatoscallion emulsion.” To finish, the buttery and caramel-y Apple Tartlette ($7) — with big clusters of candied nuts plus smoky, spicy and gingery notes — was more complex than I might’ve thought.

Professional kitchen hopes to attract food entrepreneurs A vacant warehouse on the city’s East Side soon will be transformed into commercial kitchen for bakers, candy-makers and mobile push-cart operators. The Economic and Development Policy Institute is developing the 8,000-square-foot space as a way to encourage job growth through entrepreneurship, said Bob Kramer, director of food services and safety for the nonprofit agency. “The basis of the community bakery and commissary area is to provide a commercial setting for those food entrepreneurs who want to start a business,” said Kramer, former food-safety supervisor for Columbus Public Health. “At the

same time we can provide them a menu of services, including business training, food-safety training, marketing and also loans, if necessary.” The facility, off I-670 at 1655 Old Leonard Ave., is expected to open by June 1. The space will be split up into to two areas. The bakery will have four separate bake stations, each equipped with a convection oven, large mixer, preparation table, reach-in cooler, sinks, stovetop range and other necessary equipment. The mobile food-cart commis-

sary will have individual cart storage units equipped with a secure fence and locked door, and other essential kitchen amenities. In addition, the warehouse will have a walk-in cooler and freezer available for cold storage along with an area for dry storage available for all who use the facility. State law allows some homebased companies to produce food – jellies, jams, pretzels and bread, for example – for resale. The EDPI facility, meanwhile, provides those businesses with an opportunity to expand by working with commercial equipment in a larger space that’s licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and

Columbus Public Health, Kramer said. Push-cart operators, which are not self-sufficient and need to work from a base of operations, also could find the new facility attrac-

tive, he said. Kramer said that although a pricing structure has not been set, the organization is looking at hourly rentals for the bakery and longerterm leases for the mobile food-

cart commissary “We’re going to be open to whatever their needs are,” Kramer said. For more information, call 614732-0896.

Surgery an option for sinus problems Frequent sinus infections in children are a common problem, especially for children in daycare settings. The average child can have six to 10 upper respiratory tract infections a year that have symptoms including nasal discharge and blockage. Other factors that contribute to frequent sinus infections are environmental allergies, exposure to second-hand smoke, immunodeficiency, congenital craniofacial anomalies and some inherited conditions. Children with lung problems such as asthma and cystic fibrosis often have related sinus problems. Most viral infections will resolve without treatment. A small percentage will progress to bacterial sinusitis that will require antibiotics for treatment. Narrowing or blockage of the nasal passages or sinus openings may increase the chances that a cold will progress to bacterial sinusitis. Often, children may need medication to help treat sinus problems. This could include nasal steroids, nasal saline, mucous-thinning medications called mucolytics and some allergy medications such as anti-histamines. In a small percentage of children, surgery may be necessary to relieve the blockage and open the sinuses or nasal passages. Prior to any surgery, a thorough work-up is necessary in order to determine the appropriate treatment course. Younger children do not typically need surgery on the sinuses as their sinuses are still developing. Younger children with frequent sinus infections often have their adenoid, a patch of tissue located where the nose and throat join, removed.

The adenoid can be a haven for bacteria and can often block the nasal passages. Removing the adenoid is a simple and painless surgery that can be very effective. When the sinus problem is more involved than an enlarged adenoid, the sinuses CHARLES to be imaged via a speELMARAGHY need cial X-ray called a CT scan. A CT scan is the best way to investigate the anatomy of the sinuses and determine if the openings of the sinuses are blocked. If sinus openings are blocked, they can be enlarged using special instruments and a small camera called an endoscope. This is called endoscopic sinus surgery. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Rhinology Clinic is unique in that it offers allergy testing and endoscopic evaluation during the same visit. This allows both the allergist and otolaryngologist to determine an appropriate treatment plan. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider prior to starting or stopping any treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
