City’s ’03 tax debt was considered solved By PAUL COMSTOCK ThisWeek Community Newspapers Grove City, which for two months has been dealing with a debt to the Internal Revenue Service, experienced a similar but smaller incident in 2003. City records obtained by The Grove City Record include a Jan. 14, 2003, letter to the IRS and two purchase orders totaling $9,075 for unpaid taxes, penalties and interest. That amount was dwarfed by the
$685,905 that the IRS in December said the city owed in unpaid federal withholding taxes. A subsequent search of city records revealed more money owed to the IRS. City officials on Feb. 7 said the city has made a payment of $752,179. The IRS said payments had been missed since at least 2007. The 2003 letter to the IRS was signed by then-city finance director Robert E. Behlen III, who wrote that the city “has documented our intent and the steps
taken to comply with all laws and regulations related to the issuance and filing of W-2’s ...” The letter also said the city “has paid all penalties and interest that have been levied, (and is) on notice of the timing of electronic payments and (has) implemented internal procedures to correct this past practice.” Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage was the city administrator when Behlen wrote the letter to the IRS. Stage said the city handles thousands of purchase orders
each year and he does not precisely recall the IRS purchase orders. He said, however, “Knowing what my relationship with the finance director was, I would have questioned him on how this happened. ... I probably said to him, ‘You’d better fix this, Mr. Behlen.’ I suspect from that comment, he would have written that letter.” The Record was unable to reach Behlen. Because Behlen’s letter said the city
was committed to following IRS regulations and corrective steps had been taken, city officials would have considered the matter resolved, Stage said. That view would have been confirmed, Stage said, by a 2007 forensic audit conducted when Behlen left his city job. That audit found no problems, Stage said. “If there was a problem, why didn’t (the audit) find it?” he said. Stage said he left his job as adminisSee CITY’S TAX DEBT, page A2

The new1.25million-gallon tank is being constructed in Fryer Park to replace the current tower near the Interstate 71 and state Route 665 interchange. “The city is well under way to put in a brand new water tower at Fryer Park, so part of that requires running a new water line up Haughn Road and over to the water tank,” city spokesman Don Walters said. “All the businesses and houses on Old Haughn Road are still going to be able to access their houses or their businesses north and south of that 30 feet.” Construction on the water main will continue over the next few months, and traffic will be maintained during that time, according to Service Director Les Spring. State Route 665 closed between Old Haughn Road and Gateway West Drive on Feb. 15 for 60 days. The detour is Route 665 to Gateway West Drive to new Haughn Road to old Haughn Road to Route 665. “One of the requirements that needed to be done for the interchange to work was that road was just too close to the interchange,” Walters said. “We See TWO ROADS, page A2
Local company will add 55 jobs this year By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Grove City branch of an international corporation will bring 55 new jobs to town this year. Switzerland-based Kern International, which manufactures and sells mail inserting systems, is expanding its Grove City branch off Gantz Road. The local arm of the corporation will become the only one of its U.S. facilities to manufacture mailing systems, said company spokesman Ryan McManis. “We’re transitioning from a sales and service division to actually a manufacturer of equipment,” he said.
The company’s new A1-Class machine will be the world’s fastest mail inserter once it is launched in April, according to Kern officials. “It will definitely be a standout in our industry,” McManis said. “April will be the official launch, so that we’re starting to take orders. By mid-year, we’ll be starting to produce things domestically.” The company demonstrated the new machine at a trade show in November, which generated a lot of interest because America is the biggest market for direct mail marketing in the world, he said. “We’re driven by technology that is demanded by the U.S. customers,” Mc-

CITY’S TAX DEBT Continued from page A1 trator about nine months after Behlen’s letter was sent, and no additional problems surfaced during that time. Stage served on city council in 2006 and 2007, and was sworn in as mayor in 2008. The mayor stressed that a significant difference exists between
the 2003 incident and the city’s most recent IRS debt: No purchase orders existed for any of the most recent debt. Current finance director Mike Turner has searched city records and found none, Stage said. “People are dwelling on the two I signed and not talking” about the fact no others were cre-
ated afterward, he said. Had any other purchase orders existed, any problem with missed IRS payments could have been resolved at that time, as occurred in 2003, he said. City police said they have found evidence of theft in connection with the latest unpaid taxes, and have been issuing sub-
poenas. Also investigating are the Ohio auditor’s office, the Franklin County prosecutor’s office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The city has hired an independent Columbus company, GBQ Consulting LLC, at a cost of up to $20,000, to investigate the causes behind the tax errors.

Two roads closing in Grove City Continued from page A1 cut a new road that goes directly west and then runs into a road called Gateway West.” The new Haughn Road was constructed in 2010 and has been blocked off until this point, Walters said. The closure marks the official start of construction on the Interstate 71-state Route 665 interchange project.
“This is the true beginning of two years’ worth of serious work,” Walters said. The official groundbreaking on the $22million project took place in October. Since then, most of the work has been behind the scenes. “All of that was finalizing and working out all the contract issues between (the Ohio Department of Transportation) and Beaver Construction, the firm that actually won
the bid. There’s just reams of details that have to be worked out.” he said. The only visible progress until this week has been the removal of trees along the highway. “If you were down there, you’d think a storm came through,” Walters said. “They took out a ton of trees because any trees that were in the way had to be removed.”

Planners for the Grove City garden tour are hunting for the most unique gardens in town to feature during this year's event. The Keep Grove City Beautiful Advisory board is looking for interesting and beautiful Grove City gardens for the 19th annual Jo Bostic Memorial Garden Tour, which will be held Sunday, July 10. “We hope to add unique gardens, possibly a garden that incorporates sustainable practices with native species or recycled materials,” said city spokeswoman Karen Fahy. “If there are residents with rain barrels in their garden or have a wildlife or back yard conserva-

area.” The tour typically features five to seven residential and business gardens in Grove City and Jackson Township. Two homes are already slated for this year's tour, but Fahy said organizers are still seeking homes with architectural landscaping or art or even a victory garden. “Victory gardens are best known as vegetable herb or kitchen gardens planted during wartime to relieve food shortages,” Fahy said. “Current day gardeners focus on self-sustaining gardens and find satisfaction in raising their own food.” Visitors on the tour travel from home to home on a self-guided tour. The tour typically starts at
a program and a map to guide them to the gardens on the tour. The tour is named after Jo Bostic, a Grove City community member who died in May 1998. Bostic, a native of State College Pa., started her career as an adoption supervisor for Franklin County Children Services. She later became the director of Head Start for SouthWestern City Schools. All proceeds from the tour benefit the Jo Bostic Head Start Program in Grove City. Those who are interested in featuring their private gardens on the garden tour, should contact Linda Rosine, environmental specialist, at (614) 277-1104 by Friday, April 29.

As it were
Columbus’ rivers did not provide a useful waterway With the opening of the Scioto Mile, the Scioto River will once again be an attraction that will draw people both to downtown and the city as a whole. After all, people were drawn to the forks of the ED Scioto and Olentangy LENTZ Rivers a couple of centuries ago because the water was clear and clean. And it was widely believed that a place where two rivers came together would soon be a center of profitable river trade. The water was clear and clean and had been drawing people to its banks for several thousand years. Native Americans lived here for centuries and built large Indian mounds nearby. Mound Street is named for one of them. Thousands of deer came down to the river to drink in molting season and covered the water in a blanket of shedding deer fur. With a wry directness, Native American gave the stream a new name — “Hairy River.� But the profitable river trade the pioneers expected to undertake
with huge cargo laden flatboats was not to be. The river was too narrow in many places and the current too treacherous. Only at a few times of year was the water high enough to carry the great flatboats. And at that time the current was so swift that many boats were lost. The pioneer settlements of central Ohio were rather isolated for a number of years.
Until the canal came. Canals are not a new idea. One can find them at any number of places in the ancient world where people needed an artificial waterway for one reason or another. But canals are expensive to build and costly to maintain. For that reason they are often built by governments See CITY’S RIVERS, page A5

City’s rivers did not provide useful waterway Continued from page A4 and not by private enterprise. As the land across the Appalachian Mountains began to be settled after the American Revolution, men like Henry Clay 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
ed white and the windows 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 canal warehouses soon lined the waterfront. Factories, inexpensive housing and even less attractive taverns and other amusements 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.
where Bicentennial Park is today. 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 Ed Lentz writes a history column like fairy palaces.

Clintonville couple: design finalists in international contest
Anniversary
Faith and Fellowship
By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Architect Tim Lai and his wife, art historian Eliza Ho, have worked in the past to help Clintonville residents by seeking to preserve the old Clinton Theater and, when that effort failed, offering suggestions for using the vacant site. Now, they could use a little help from the community. Tim Lai Architect, the independent architectural practice based out of the couple’s Clintonville-area home, is among 50 finalists from among 400 entrants in an international online design competition. The eventual winners in the “Who’s Next: Green Home Design Contest,” being put on by an online provider of house plans, will be determined, in part, by public voting. “Your vote of confidence is not only for us, but also for the talent and creativity that Columbus has come to embody,” Ho wrote in an e-mail seeking local support for the modernist lakeside retreat design her husband came up with for the competition at FreeGreen.com. “Our goal is to give our users house plans which simultaneously provide design and product options that meet or exceed existing third-party standards, while giving users choice and options in the realm of cost, style and environmental commitment,” according to the website. “As an example, all of our homes are designed to perform 30 percent

to 50 percent better than prescriptive building code energy performance. The level of home performance depends on the ‘package’ of products that a user chooses.” Lai and Ho are originally from Hong Kong. Growing up in a place of dense skyscraper development is what inspired Lai to become an architect. “That’s what you see every day,” he said. Lai came to wonder how those immensely tall buildings got built and to ponder what made one better than another. His undergraduate studies were at the University of Hong Kong. He moved to Los Angeles in 1998 to attend the Southern California Institute of Architecture, and came to Columbus to be with Ho, who studied for her doctorate in art history at Ohio State University.

Clintonville couple: design finalists in contest Continued from page A6 She disliked the urban sprawl of Los Angeles and he couldn’t take the traffic, they said, although both enjoyed the weather there. “Columbus kind of grows on you,” Lai said. “I think Columbus is a great city.” Lai has been an architect for 10 years. Like so many in his field, he got laid off from a firm when jobs all but vanished in the economic downtown of 2008. Having his own independent operation is what he had always wanted, Lai said. “It’s really about the attention to details, and really having the overall sensibilities of a project,” he said. For some time, the couple sought a lot in Clintonville on which to build a home of Lai’s design, but vacant lots are few and far between, so they settled for an existing home on Summit Street.

Stopping niece Corbett’s top concern By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When the Grove City High School girls basketball team takes on Upper Arlington in the first round of the Division I district tournament at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17, at Hilliard Davidson, the game will have extra meaning for Greyhounds coach Dale Corbett. Corbett not only will be coaching against the ninth-seeded Golden Bears, he will be coaching against his niece, senior guard Mary Corbett.
UA improved to 15-4 overall with a 63-42 win over Hilliard Davidson on Feb. 11 and won its second consecutive OCC-Central Division title, finishing 13-1. Grove City has lost 16 games in a row and is 2-18 overall entering the tournament. The Greyhounds finished 1-13 in the OCC-Ohio, with their only win being a 47-40 victory over Groveport on Dec. 10. Mary Corbett is looking forward to the challenge of facing her uncle and the Greyhounds.
“He’s already started talking trash,” she said with a laugh. “He said, ‘We’re going to put our fastest person on you’ and all this stuff. My uncle’s a funny guy and he and I are pretty tight. It’s going to be neat. We’ve got a whole bunch of family who are going to be at that one.” The teams have met twice previously during Mary Corbett’s prep career. During her freshman year, UA and Grove City split their two OCC-Buckeye meetings, with the Bears winning 65-61 and the Greyhounds winning 54-49 with
Corbett scoring a total of seven points in the two games. “I’ve seen her. We play each other in the summer,” coach Corbett said. “My thing Thursday will be stopping her because this girl can flat shoot. I’ve seen her enough over the years that if you let her set her feet, you might as well get back on offense because she’s going to score.” Senior Alyssa Sammeth, who is averaging eight points and eight rebounds, leads the Greyhounds. Though wins have been hard to come
by, Grove City has shown improvement as the season progressed, coach Corbett said. The Greyhounds ended the regular season with a 56-48 loss to host Pickerington Central on Feb. 11. The Tigers had beaten Grove City 63-30 in the teams’ first OCC-Ohio meeting on Jan. 7. “(Feb. 11) was like the last five or six games,” coach Corbett said. “We’re within three (points) with two minutes left and we just don’t make the plays See BASKETBALL, page B2
Commentary
League features tourney favorites I don’t see it happening this year, but it certainly would be no big surprise if all three Division I girls basketball district-champion trophies awarded March 5 at Olentangy Liberty High School go to members of the OCC-Ohio Division. That was the case a year ago when KURTIS Reynoldsburg, ADAMS Pickerington North and Gahanna emerged from their respective brackets to turn the regional at Otterbein into a de facto OCC-Ohio postseason tournament. The Raiders won it in classic March Madness style, too, stunning North 45-34 in the final as coach Dave Butcher lost to a Reynoldsburg team for the first time in his career. Now, the top-seeded Raiders are looking like a virtual lock in their bracket. They swept North during the regular season to capture their first OCC-Ohio title and show that last year’s upset was no fluke. Moreover, nobody from central Ohio has beaten them yet. North, meanwhile, is seeded fifth and is the second-lowest seeded team in its bracket behind third-seeded Olentangy Orange, which I think might be in over its head should the Pioneers advance to meet the Panthers in the final as the seedings indicate. Butcher has won seven consecutive district championships at North, 22 in a row overall and 24 in 27 seasons over the course of his career. There’s little reason to believe those streaks won’t continue, especially given that senior post player and Villanova-signee Kavunaa Edwards is one of the area’s best players right now. That brings us to the other bracket, where second-seeded Northland could be the team that eventually crashes the OCC-Ohio postseason party. Despite Northland’s 60-52 loss to Africentric in the City League championship game Feb. 12, there’s a lot to like about the Vikings, who finished 18-1 in the regular season. They have a group of proven scorers, veteran leadership and enough size on the baseline to thwart the challengers in their bracket, seventh-seeded Gahanna included. If the seedings hold, we’ll see Gahanna and eighth-seeded Newark clash in a district semifinal. Pay attention to that one because the future of the OCCOhio will be on display. Gahanna’s four sophomores, including point guard Quiera Lampkins, are playing key roles for the Lions, who might be 0-4 against Reynoldsburg and Pickerington North, but they are a combined 14-2 against everyone else. On the other bench, Newark has been rejuvenated by a bevy of promising underclassmen, including sophomore post player Paige Cashin and freshman shooting guard Maggie Mitchell. Newark

Supportive Camp sisters swim onto district By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When sophomore Taylor Camp of the Grove City High School girls swimming and diving team came down with a sinus infection and later developed pneumonia in December, she worried that her chance to qualify for the Division I district meet this season might be over. However, she heard a small voice telling her not to give up. That voice belonged to her sister, Kaitlyn, a senior for the Greyhounds. “When you’re out for that long, you’re nervous about how far behind you are. That was my biggest fear,” said Taylor, who was sidelined a month because of illness. “(Kaitlyn) kept telling me, ‘When you get back to training, you’re going to be fine. You work hard and I know you can do it.’” As it turned out, Kaitlyn was right. Both of the Camp sisters will be competing at the district meet on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Ohio State. Taylor qualified in the 50-yard
freestyle with a time of 26.38 seconds at the sectional meet on Feb. 12 at Upper Arlington and is seeded 21st at district. Kaitlyn made it in the 100 free (58.02) and is seeded 28th. The Camp sisters also will compete at district with Claudia Pierce and Ashley Miller in the 200 medley relay (1:59.55, 13th) and with Mackenzie Best and Miller in the 400 free relay (3:58.27, 15th). Swimmers must finish in the top three at district to automatically qualify for the state meet Feb. 24-26 at Canton’s C.T. Branin Natatorium. In addition, 11 at-large bids for each swimming event are awarded based on statewide times. The Camp sisters helped the girls team place ninth (36 points) at the 14team sectional behind champion Upper Arlington (416). The boys team tied North for sixth (65) at the sectional behind champion UA (414). “(The sectional meet) was really exciting,” Kaitlyn said. “It was one of the biggest meets we go to with the whole high school team. It’s a really big at-

mosphere here.” “Right now, we’re right on track,” coach Amy Miller said. “We always tell our kids to give it your best shot, but you need to swim your best time to have a chance to move on.” The boys team advanced all three relays to district. Braxten Judkins is the Greyhounds’ highest-seeded individual, as he is sixth in the 100 free (49.59) and 10th in the 50 free (23:02). Often the Camp sisters are each other’s top competition.

each other so much.” •Central Crossing advanced all six of its relays and one individual to district. Caroline Kruczynski is seeded 22nd at district in the 50 free (26.44) and 23rd in 100 backstroke (1:04.14). “We had a lot of kids PR today,” coach Robert Boggs said of his teams’ performances at the sectional at UA. “That shows that our tapering is paying off. The kids really concentrated on what we needed to do and swam good races. I was real happy with all of our races and our individual events.” “The district meet is so hard to get into,” said sophomore Hannah Wilhelm, who is a member of the girls 200 free and 400 free relays. “We have all been working for. It’s an exciting time for all of us.” The girls team scored eight points at sectional to tie Hilliard Darby for 13th, and the boys team scored 20 points to finish 12th.
Kaitlyn finished 16th in the 100 free (58.02) and Taylor was 20th (58.83). “We’re both highly competitive,” Kaitlyn said. “In the races we swim against each other, it’s really fun. She pushes me and I push her to do better. We’ll joke around with each other behind the starting blocks and egg each other on.” “We push each other by telling each other what we can do,” Taylor said. “We like to keep it positive.

GYMNASTICS vault after placing ninth (8.675) at district. “There’s always a chance (of qualifying for state) because they definitely have the talent and the ability,” Huntley said of Gaitten and Hughes. “It’s ‘can and will they hit that day.’” •With only two gymnasts competing, Central Crossing placed sixth (36.175) in the OCC-Capital meet on Feb. 12 at Kilbourne, behind Olentangy Orange (126.9), Hilliard Bradley (125.675), Dublin Jerome (123.1), Big Walnut (122.675) and Mount Vernon (109.275). Freshman Katrina Evanoff finished 20th in the all-around (26.975). Her top score in an individual event was on vault (7.825), finishing 17th. She was 13th on bars (6.85). Both scores were a season best. Junior Cassandra Craig was 30th on beam (4.45) and 31st on floor (4.75). “We did well,” said coach Lavon Maynard, whose team was 0-5 in the OCC-Capital in the regular season, finishing sixth behind Orange (50), Bradley (4-1), Big Walnut (3-2), Mount Vernon (2-3) and Jerome (1-4). “It’s hard for them to get excited when there are just two of them. They weren’t competing as a team, but they did well.” The Comets are looking to improve their scores at district. “We tell each girl to make it their best competition, especially since it’s their last one,” Maynard said.

beam and I’m proud of floor, but my vault could have been a little better because I didn’t put my chest up and rotate as fast as I should have,” Gaitten said. Junior Angela Hughes was third on vault (8.65) and eighth in the all-around (32.725). Senior Kimberlee Eakins was ninth on vault (8.225) and 11th in the all-around (31.8), and senior Beth Boes was ninth on floor (8.7). “We have to really clean up our beam.” Huntley said. “That’s where we struggled our last two meets.” At district, the top three teams and top eight finishers in each event, including the all-around, advance to the state meet March 4-5 at Hilliard Bradley. “Every meet we get better and better,” Gaitten said. “Our only weakness is our beam. We just have to hit a solid beam day and then we should score pretty well.” Last season at district, Grove City finished ninth (127.9) behind first-place DeSales (135.325). Last year at state, Gaitten finished 25th on vault (8.975). As a freshman, she competed at state on beam (8.8, 19th) and vault (8.65, tied for 30th). “I have to practice harder and get my mind set,” she said. “I want to go in all-around this year. That’s what I’m hoping for because my floor has definitely improved over the year.” Last season, Hughes was a state alternate on www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Comets finished the regular season 8-12 overall and 59 in the OCC-Central. Independence is 9-11 overall and finished 8-6 in the City League-South. “Independence is a scrappy team,” coach Neil Hohman said. “They play pretty aggressive and have some girls down low, so we’re looking for a competitive game.” Central Crossing’s other tournament wins came in the first round against Zanesville (4038) in 2009 and Watkins Memorial (60-48) in 2004. The Comets are looking to get past the second round for the first time in program history. “We’ve been talking about winning another tournament game and then trying to make the longest run in school history,” Hohman said.

Wrestlers’ conference title ‘is a pretty big deal’ By JARROD ULREY
At a glance
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
All Ready High School wrestling coach Chance Van Gundy knows for sure is that it’s been a long time since his program last enjoyed a conference championship. At the CCL tournament Feb. 12 at Watterson, the Silver Knights earned six individual titles and placed among the top three in all 14 weight classes. Ready scored 256.5 points to win the title ahead of DeSales (183.5), St. Charles (150), Hartley (137) and Watterson (48). The Silver Knights’performance provides hope that a successful postseason could be looming. “Someone asked me the last time Ready won a CCL title, and I really don’t know for sure, but someone told me it was 14 years ago,” Van Gundy said. Whether the conference title is a signal that the team has returned to its successes of the 1990s when it was one of central Ohio’s best in Division III remains to be seen. What is not in doubt is that the Silver Knights have a large pool of talented freshmen. Seniors Josh Hall (112 pounds) and Phil Halko (160) were joined as conference champions by freshmen Bobby Smith (103), Dalton Scott (119), Will Martello (130) and Hannibal Tate (145). “It feels pretty good because (winning the CCL title) is a pretty big deal,” said Smith, who enters the Division III sectional on Friday, Feb. 18, at Madison Plains with a 32-1 record. “St. Charles won it last year and we were second. This year, we all came together as a team and it worked out really well for us.” Earning runner-up finishes at the league tournament were freshmen Patrick Stover (135) and Dorrion Newton (heavyweight) and seniors Joe Knapp (140) and Chris Goodberlet (152). Third-place finishers were seniors Brian Montgomery (125) and Brandon Cooper (215), sophomore Keegan Irwin (171) and freshman Patrik Garren (189). Sophomore Brandon Burt has been battling a knee injury and could not compete at the league tournament. He is questionable for the postseason. Ready was seeded fifth for the sectional and is at the same site as top-seeded West Jefferson as well as No. 3 Amanda-Clearcreek and No. 4 Utica. “We wrestled a pretty competitive schedule this year,” Van

Gundy said. “(The CCL tournament) wasn’t the grind that they’ve been used to, but hopefully it helps us heading into the postseason. Anything less than eight (district qualifiers) would be a disappointment.” •The girls basketball team enters the Division III tournament after going just 7-13 during the regular season. The Silver Knights, however, are on a three-game winning streak that included a 42-39 victory over DeSales on Feb. 9. While senior forward Dani Pugh is the team’s leader in scoring average at 10.8 points per game, the recent play of 5-foot10 sophomores Alexis Mayle and Nikki Brown has given the team a boost. Brown averaged 10 rebounds during one recent four-game stretch and Mayle averaged 16 points over the final four regular-season games. Coach Joe Lang sensed that his team was starting to turn the corner during a 55-52 loss to DeSales on Jan. 15 even though the Silver Knights went on to lose their next six. “We’re doing a lot of good
things offensive and defensively,” Lang said. “Our biggest thing is doing it for 32 minutes.” Ready opens the postseason at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17, at Gahanna against sixth-seeded Centerburg, which is 13-7. The Trojans are led by 5-11 guard Mackenzie Stoyle and 6-0 forward Mikaela Weldy. The winner plays third-seeded Bloom-Carroll or No. 5 West Jefferson at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, at Dublin Scioto. Bloom-Carroll went 16-4 during the regular season, including a 63-39 win over Ready on Nov. 30. West Jefferson was 15-5. •The boys basketball team opens the Division III district tournament against Berne Union at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, at Newark. The winner plays top-seeded Heath in the second round at 8 p.m. Feb. 26 at Newark. The Silver Knights were 513 before playing North Union on Feb. 15 and the Rockets were 4-13 before facing West Jefferson the same night.

Pediatric HealthSource
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, mucousthinning 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 CHARLES necessary in ELMARAGHY 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 need to be imaged via a special X-ray called a CT scan. A CT scan is the best way to investigate the anatomy

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.

Easy Means To a More Nutritious Diet (MS) When the weather begins to warm up, many people start taking steps to trim their waistline and shed those extra pounds packed on throughout the winter. While this is common, it’s just as common for men and women to underestimate how much work they need to do to get healthy. A 2010 survey from Harris Interactive/HealthDay of more than 2,400 men and women over the age of 18 helped shed light on just how far off many people are when assessing their own health. In the survey, nearly one-third of all respondents from the “overweight” class felt they were normal size, while 70 percent of those who would be considered “obese” felt they were merely overweight. Misconceptions about an individual’s own health is likely a reason for the ongoing overweight and obesity epidemic in the United States. If men and women don’t believe there’s a problem, then they don’t feel there’s anything to address. However, the Centers
Choosing healthy snacks, such as apple slices, is one way to make a diet more nutritious.
for Disease Control and Prevention note that 34 per-
cent of adults age 20 and over were obese in 2007-08, and
an additional 34 percent were overweight (and not obese) during that time period. Though this is certainly problematic, it’s also not difficult for motivated men and women to fix the problem if they so desire. In addition to exercise, eating a more nutritious diet is one of the best
ways to maintain a healthy weight. Oftentimes, a healthy diet does not involve making a drastic overhaul. Instead, many people find it’s easier than they expected. • Embrace bright fruits and vegetables. Dense in nutrients and low in calories, fruits and vegetables are an essential element to a healthy diet and can be enjoyed throughout
the day. And when it comes to fruits and vegetables, the brighter the better. Brighter, deeper colored fruits and vegetables typically have a high concentration of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. • Don’t just go green. Fruits and vegetables come in many different colors, and those colors each provide their own See DIET, page B7

Stress can be defined as any type of change that causes physical, emotional or psychological strain. Cortisol, an important hormone in the body, has been termed “the stress hormone” because it is secreted in higher levels in response to stress. Small increases of cortisol have some positive effects, such as: ~ A quick burst of energy for survival reasons ~ Heightened memory functions ~ Increased immunity ~ Lower sensitivity to pain While cortisol is an important and helpful part of the body’s response to stress, higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol associated with chronic stress (unfortunately, we live in a high-stress culture) have been shown to have negative effects, such as:
• Depression • Diabetes • Hair loss • Heart disease • High blood pressure • Hyperthyroidism • Obesity • High cholesterol • Lowered immunity and more Studies have shown that relaxation is the key to keeping your cortisol levels healthy. Do yourself a favor and call the Human Touch Salon & Day Spa. We have an extensive menu of services and friendly, dedicated professionals to help you achieve your relaxation and personal image goals. — Pamela Saviers, LMT, LMC, CDT, Owner.

distinct nutritional value. Many vegetables are green, and greens provide a host of vitamins and minerals. Greens are often loaded with calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc as well as vitamins A, C, E, and K. Sweet vegetables, including corn, carrots and beets, might not be as eyecatching as their greener counterparts, but these also provide a good source for vitamins and minerals while adding some sweetness to a diet as well. Colorful fruits also provide a host of nutritional value, including vitamins, fiber and antioxidants. • Include more whole grains. Whole grains can not only help combat existing conditions like high cholesterol, but they can also protect men and women from a host of other issues. Those issues include cardiovascular disease, stroke and even some cancers. What’s more, because they’re high in fiber, whole grains make men and women feel more full without eating as much, which can help discourage overeating. Easy ways to include more whole grains in your daily diet include replacing white bread with whole grain bread, trading refined pastas for whole wheat alternatives and passing on white rice in favor of brown rice. None of these adjustments are very difficult, but they can pay significant dividends. • Don’t abandon snacks. Quitting snacks cold turkey will likely result in overeating. And snacks aren’t the problem; it’s what men and women choose to snack on that’s the true culprit. When choosing snacks, select foods that make up for any lost nutrients. For instance, if you have not had enough protein, choose a healthy, protein-rich snack like mixed nuts or peanut butter to get your daily recommended protein. Instead of choosing a low-calorie snack like pretzels, find a snack that’s rich in nutrients that supplements your daily diet.

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. Ditto for this excellent restaurant. To read G.A. Benton’s blog visit ColumbusDiningGuide.com.
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 commissary 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 home-based 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 Depart-
ment 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 attractive, he said. Kramer said that although a pricing structure has
not been set, the organization is looking at hourly rentals for the bakery and longer-term leases for the mobile food-cart commissary “We’re going to be open to whatever their needs are,” Kramer said. For more information, call 614-732-0896.

Helping Hands expands hours, services By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
In seeking to make an investment in the physical and mental, as well as spiritual, wellbeing of Northland residents, a consortium of Catholic churches in the area has settled upon the Helping Hands Health and Wellness Center free clinic as the best recipient for between $40,000 and $50,000 in each of the next three years. The infusion of cash from the Northland Deanery of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus will enable the clinic to expand upon the “wellness” aspect of its name, according to executive director Joyce Bourgault. “What we’re going to be doing is more social services as well as counseling,” she said. “We basically settled on the Helping Hands clinic because no matter what happens with the
health care issue with the federal government … there’s going to be a need for people without health insurance to get health care,” said the Rev. Charles Clinger of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Westerville, one of seven parishes in the deanery. “We thought that this was a great program that was already in place and that this would be something that was filling a very big need in our neighborhood, broadly defined ‘neighborhood.’ ” Members of the Ascension Lutheran Church voted to sign a contract with the Helping Hands Health and Wellness Center board last week to permit use of the Haimerl Center on Morse Road on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, according to Bourgault. This will enable clinic volunteers, she said, to provide additional hours of service, as well as expand the services offered to include things like job training and
even some mental health counseling for those dealing with depression or anxiety — often outgrowths of being poor and without health insurance. Those participating in the clinic’s expanded offerings don’t have to be current patients, the executive director pointed out, but must meet the same threshold of being within 200 percent of poverty guidelines and lacking health insurance. The clinic, which begin operations just under four years ago, was founded by members of Ascension Lutheran and a few other Northland-area churches. As many as 40 churches from different denominations have come on board since. Add to that the Northland Deanery, which includes St. Anthony, St. Elizabeth, St. James the Less and St. Matthias in Columbus, St. John Neumann in Sunbury, Church of the Resurrection in New
Albany and St. Paul in Westerville. “This really is an ecumenical venture,” Rev. Clinger said. “They came to us; we didn’t go seeking them out,” Bourgault said. “They came to us and said ‘We like what you’re doing, we’d really like to help you out.’ ” The pledge of funding that will permit the Helping Hands Health and Wellness expansion of hours and services results from talks that began several years ago within the Northland Deanery, according to Clinger. “We started discussing how we might make on impact on the area … to do some good, some Christian charity in the area,” he said. After exploring the idea of having the Catholic churches start their own operation, Clinger said that a committee formed to come up with suggestions for helping the hurting within the Northland Deanery settled upon the existing
free clinic as the proper vehicle. “It was a very fruitful process that we went through that helped us to see that what was already there was something we wanted to enhance and put our prestige behind as a Catholic community,” Clinger said. “We’re encompassing a lot of different areas for people’s emotional, physical and spiritual health,” Bourgault said. “We’ve wanted to do this from the very beginning. “God has provided wonderful things. It’s just incredible how people have come to us offering things to help.” In addition to the financial investment over the next three calendar years, Clinger said that members of the parishes within the Northland Deanery will be encouraged to volunteer at the free clinic. “That’s part of what we’re going to do as part of our commitment,”

he said. “We also are going to be encouraging our people to help out with their time and talent.” “It’s all part of God’s plan,” Bourgault said. “All I can say is the miracles that are happening over and over again, it’s all from people praying about it and God just blessing us.” Details of when job training assistance and mental health counselors will be available are being worked out, the clinic executive director said. She offered heartfelt thanks to members of Ascension Lutheran Church for making the Haimerl Center available more often and added that new hours and expanded services will mean a need for additional volunteers.
