Council overrides Schonhardt’s veto BY GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

As expected, Hilliard City Council voted 5-2 to override the first veto in Don Schonhardt’s two terms as mayor at its Feb. 14 meeting. The override means that an ordinance amending the city’s hotel/motel excise tax will go into effect. The ordinance, passed by council on Jan. 11, changes the amount of the 6-percent hotel/motel bed tax that would go to Destination Hilliard, a convention and visitor’s bureau, from 25-percent to 50-percent. The other 50-percent would be placed in the city’s general fund. Schonhardt vetoed the ordinance on Jan. 17, listing six reasons for doing so in a letter to council president Brett Sciotto. In the letter, he acknowledged the veto would probably be overridden by a two-thirds majority, but maintained that the ordinance was “ill-timed bad public policy.” Following a 10-day waiting period per Ohio Revised Code, the matter was considered at the Feb. 14 council meeting. “We do have a special consideration,” Sciotto See COUNCIL OVERRIDES, page A6

Above, supporters of Destination Hilliard turned out in Hilliard City Council chambers Feb. 14 as council voted 5-2 to override Mayor Don Schonhardt's veto of legislation to increase funding for the organization. Destination Hilliard will now receive 50 percent of the city bed tax revenues instead of the 25 percent it had been receiving.

Planning & zoning

Ohio Business College branch OK’d BY GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The planning and zoning commission recently approved construction of an Ohio Business College branch on the west side of Trueman Boulevard. Hilliard would be the fourth location for the college, which offers associate degrees in business, medical and technology programs. City planner John Talentino said the application to build on the site was applied for in January, but the developer had been in discussions with the city for several months. By a 4-0 vote at the Feb. 10 planning and zoning meeting, the com-

mission approved the planned unit development final plan for a 7acre, one-story, 18,000-squarefoot building, a lot split/deed transfer and permitting a college, based on 10 conditions. Those conditions, recommended in a staff report, included changing the parking lot for a proposed extension of Anson Drive, a rightin/right-out access point on Trueman Boulevard, brick on the gables, a tree survey and revisions to signage and lighting. There will be a retention pond on the south end of the site. Residents living near the de-

Empty Bowls soup dinner helps pantry By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ceramic bowls made by Weaver Middle School seventhgraders are among the draws behind the Empty Bowls event in the cafeteria from 5:30-8 p.m. on Feb. 23. “We have made over 500 ceramic bowls,” said art teacher Shannon Murlin. The bowls are all shapes, sizes, colors and glazes, she said, “from little trinket bowls to pretty substantial soup bowls. Some of them are a little bit better than other ones.” The bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe, although they have not been signed by the students. Students in Murlin’s and Matt Sparks’ classes have made their bowls using the school’s two kilns. Those attending the soup dinner will get to pick one of the ceramic bowls to keep, although for convenience, a paper bowl will be used for the soup. The dinner will feature five different soups from Aramark, rolls and salad from Texas Roadhouse and desserts provided by Weaver faculty. See EMPTY BOWLS, page A2

Empty Bowls soup dinner helps food pantry Continued from page A1 Proceeds for Weaver’s Empty Bowls will benefit the Hilliard Food Pantry. In addition, there will be a live and silent auction, as well as musical entertainment by the students. Sue Weaver, media specialist at Weaver, said this is the first year the school has participated in Empty Bowls. However, Murlin said she has done Empty Bowls when she was at Wittenberg University.

“The idea is that people have bowls that are empty,” Murlin said. “It’s just to help fight poverty.” According to its website (www.emptybowls.net), “Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine Render Group. The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup

and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.” Weaver’s Empty Bowls event costs $10 per person, or $30 for a family (and two ceramic bowls). Although she hopes it will be cold enough outside that people will want a hot cup of soup, Murlin said, “I just hope a big ice storm doesn’t come in that week.”

PLANNING & ZONING Talentino said the applicant won’t have to return to the commission or to city council, but their permit set will be examined by him, engineers and an architectural consultant to make sure it is consistent with building code, zoning and other considerations, such as compliance with the commission’s conditions. “I compare everything,” Talentino said. “If there’s something that doesn’t (comply), we have them fix that, and then it holds up the permit until we get that in.” As for the commission meeting, which took just over 30 minutes, Talentino said, “Their proposal lines up with the requirements. They agreed to work with us. It was pretty easy to deal with.” Lyden said the meeting was pretty typical for the commission, except that “we usually have more cases.”

Continued from page A1 velopment brought up concerns such as lighting and dust. Hilliard Mayor Don Schonhardt asked applicant Jerry Turner of the engineering firm Bird+Bull to be good neighbors by turning off unnecessary parking lot lights, and watering during construction to avoid dust. He also said he would approve the construction of OBC if the college only did classroom instruction. In addition, the commission members present at the meeting asked questions of the applicant and Talentino about the site. “We will adhere to Hilliard’s requirements,” Turner said to the commission. “They still have some hurdles as far as applying for the building permits,” said commission chairman Thomas Lyden after the meeting.

City’s rivers did not provide useful waterway

Commentary & opinion

Continued from page A4

Just thinking

The mysteries of competitive cheerleading: Gimme a ‘why?’! 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 email 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 whatnot too. I’ve been in the convention center during cheerleading events, so I’ve seen such teams in person. They all seem to 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 prepositions: 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!” 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 MARGO 725 students each. As for the BARTLETT 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.

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.

Council overrides Schonhardt’s veto Continued from page A1 said. “The way the procedure will work tonight is I will essentially ask a question, and the question will be, shall ordinance 10-40 be passed notwithstanding the veto of the mayor? A yes vote would be to enact the ordinance, overriding the veto. A no vote would be to sustain the veto.” Since vetoes are something Hilliard’s council hasn’t dealt with in recent years, Sciotto opened the matter for discussion only among members, and not the public, which nearly filled the chambers of city hall. Council member Tim Roberts asked

As warm as this week has been, it’s almost hard to remember that there was an ice storm to start the month of February. The elements conspired to create slippery conditions and power outages throughout central Ohio, but Hilliard residents hunkered down and weathered the storm. American Electric Power spokeswoman Vikki Michalski said power was restored to everyone in Franklin County by noon Feb. 5. Yet with thousands of homes in northwest Franklin County being without power for more than one day, the American Red Cross of Greater Columbus opened up an emergency shelter at the Hilliard United Methodist Church. Red Cross spokeswoman Lynn Cook said the church’s Warehouse 839 was open for two nights. “A total of two residents stayed in the shelter - one from Hilliard and one from Upper Arlington,” Cook said in an e-mail. Norwich Township Fire Chief David Long said one woman with breathing problems spent time at the Joint Services Building during the storm. The Hilliard/Ray Patch Family YMCA never lost power during the storm, and people were invited to shower and spend time at the Y. “We only had a couple people actually take advantage of that, and most of those were members who were going to come in anyway and knew that they could come in,” said executive director Greg Cottrill. He said members and non-members can always call 614-334-9622 to make arrangements to visit the Y in the event of future power outages. Hilliard City Schools assistant superintendent Leslie McNaughton said the storm caused the district reach its three-day limit of calamity days. “We want our kids in school as many days as possible,” McNaughton said, “yet the safety of our students is always first and foremost.” Citywide chipper service continues for residents who experienced tree damage. At last week’s planning and zoning commission meeting, member Chris Lewie said that a television weather report indicated that Hilliard has received more snow in central Ohio than any other community this winter — 27 inches. “Of the 70 days that we’ve experienced from December and January, we’ve had snow or precipitation 51 days that required us to either plow or salt the streets,” said Mayor Don Schonhardt. “It has been a challenge this winter, but I do believe the crews are doing a yeoman’s job to keep ahead of that. “I never thought I’d say this, but we’re actually looking forward to construction season. It’s better than winter, let me tell you.”

Bradley boys, girls put squeeze on Orange By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard Bradley High School boys basketball team thinks it finally earned that one win that will propel it into the Division II district tournament. The Jaguars had not beaten a team with a winning record before Feb. 11, but had lost six games by five or fewer points to Thomas Worthington, Olentangy Orange, Teays Valley, Mount Vernon (twice) and St. Charles. All but St. Charles, which was 8-9 overall before Feb. 15, had records well above .500.

In fact, they had combined for a 53-20 record. The Jaguars produced the confidenceboosting win by defeating host Orange 63-46 on Feb. 11 in the second round of OCC-Capital Division play. “We were so close in many games and we flat-out blew one against Mount Vernon, so it’s great to finally get the job done,” senior Derek Tieman said, referring to a 67-64 loss to Mount Vernon on Feb. 4 when the Jaguars were outscored 31-13 in the fourth quarter. “It was a great win for our program and (coach Michael Limbird) because he

was an assistant at Orange and left to coach us. We didn’t want him to think he made a mistake by leaving there to come here.” Bradley hoped to build on that momentum and finish the regular season at .500 before making a tournament run. The Jaguars were 8-10 overall before playing Dublin Scioto on Feb. 15 and are 6-7 in the OCC-Capital with the league finale against visiting Watkins Memorial on Friday, Feb. 18. The Jaguars are seeded 12th of 26 teams in the district tournament and will play 11th-seeded Bexley at 8 p.m. Tues-

day, Feb. 22, at Grove City in first round. The winner will play Olentangy or Hamilton Township in the second round at 8 p.m. Feb. 25 at Grove City. Bradley has never played any of those teams. Olentangy was 6-13 overall and Hamilton Township was 7-10. Bexley was 10-8 overall and 6-6 in the MSL-Ohio Division before Feb. 15. Through 16 games, the Lions were led in scoring average by Jon Primes (17.6) and Jalen Robinette (12.6). Robinette had made 62 of 107 field-goal attempts (57.9 percent). “Bexley plays in the same league as

Granville, who beat us in the first round last year,” Tieman said. “But they chose to play us rather than take a bye. We’ll take that as a slap in the face. We’re pumped up now after the big win and we need to make sure we keep that confidence, finish the regular season strong and go in against Bexley with some emotion.” The second-year Jaguars executed well and played with emotion to post their first win over Orange in four tries.

Darby boys to take on Patriots By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Brett Norris understands what his Hilliard Darby High School boys basketball team will be up against in the opening round of the Division I district tournament. Before coming to Darby, Norris coached at Delphos St. John’s, where his teams battled Willard teams coached by Greg Nossaman. On Wednesday, Feb. 23, Nossaman’s Olentangy Liberty squad will play a first-round game against the Panthers at 6 p.m. at Jonathan Alder. “When you are seeded where we were, there wasn’t a lot of choices,” said Norris, whose team selected 32nd of 42 teams in Division I. “I know he will be well-prepared to play us.” The Patriots improved to 136 overall by defeating Beechcroft 55-54 in overtime on Feb. 12. Jake Bischoff, a 5-foot-10 guard, led the way with 27 points, including five 3-pointers. Senior Andy Yazrombek, a 6-1 guard, supplied 13 points and 6-7 junior post player Nick Archer added 11 points. “We didn’t get to see (Liberty) play during the year,” Norris said. “They have a very good big guy (Archer) and they can shoot the ball.” The winner plays Dublin Jerome or Delaware in a second-round game at 8 p.m. Feb. 26 at Jonathan Alder. The Panthers improved to 612 overall with a come-frombehind 51-49 win over Westland on Feb. 11 in an OCC-Central game. Senior guard Matt Cyrus had 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to help Darby erase a 14-point deficit after three periods. Cyrus also was 10-for10 on free-throw attempts in the contest. Taylor Van Winkle added 10 points. “When you have struggled like we have at times this season, it’s always good to get a win,” Norris said. “Sometimes at this point in the season you have people thinking about things that happen after basketball and that’s something we want to avoid. Our guys are still fighting and playing hard and that game shows that.” Darby closes its league and regular-season schedules at home on Friday, Feb. 18, against Hilliard Davidson. The Panthers lost the first meeting 52-45 on Jan. 14. Brennan Hook scored 14 points, Tae Bradley had 11 points and Bryson Hook added seven points. In the OCC-Central, Upper Arlington leads at 13-0 followed by Dublin Coffman (12-1), Thomas Worthington (8-5), Davidson (7-6), Worthington Kilbourne (5-8), Darby (4-9), Central Crossing (2-11) and Westland (1-12).

’Cats top Panthers, win OCC title By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard Davidson High School wrestling team is looking to carry the momentum gained from winning the OCC-Central Division championship into the Division I sectional tournament on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Marysville. The Wildcats clinched the league title with a 45-29 win over Darby in the league finale on Feb. 12. Davidson, which won eight of 13 weight classes in which both teams fielded a competitor, finished 7-0 in the league. Darby was second at 6-1, followed by Dublin Coffman (4-2), Worthington Kilbourne (4-2), Upper Arlington (3-4), Central Crossing (2-5), Westland (1-6) and Thomas Worthington (0-7). “These matches were important for seeding (at the sectional),” Davidson coach Dominic DiSabato said. “We feel good about those matches. The kids should have some really good seeds and hopefully we can take 13 guys to the district tournament.” The Wildcats got off to a slow start this season, in part because of the football team reached a Division I state semifinal before losing to Huber Heights Wayne 28-14 on Nov. 30, but have start-

ed to realize their full potential. DiSabato made some adjustments in the way his team prepared for matches and it started to pay off at the Gahanna Duals on Jan. 22, as the Wildcats went 5-0, defeating Teays Valley 41-30 in the championship match. “When (the football players) came back, we were slow and we were not really jelling well,” said Marshall Knoch, who competes at 215 pounds. “At Ga-

hanna, we picked it up and everything has been a complete U-turn from there. We beat Teays Valley for the first time since I can remember.” Darby and Davidson are set to face each other again at the 13-team Marysville sectional. Last season, the Wildcats finished second (199) at the Westland sectional, behind Pickerington North (224.5). Angelo DiSabato was a sectional champion at 119 last season. Also look-

ing to return to district are Knoch, Chase Delande (145), Kyle Ehrhardt (171), Nolan Gill (140), Eric Hoffman (125) and Alex Mickley (152). “When you beat the other school in your town, it’s nice,” Knoch said. “Winning OCC and winning district have always been our goals since the end of last year. Winning step one and moving on to step two, that’s what we’re doing right now.” •Darby is hoping to continue to face Davidson in the coming weeks, as that will mean the Panthers have district and state qualifiers. “We’ll see Davidson hopefully for three more weeks this year,” coach Brendan Moody said. “It’s going to be a good battle in our sectional. Marysville is solid from top to bottom. They don’t have a weak kid in the lineup, and then Mount Vernon, they’re tough, too. We’re going to fight and scrape for every qualifier that we’re going to get.” Darby scored 140.5 points to place sixth at the Westland sectional last year. Cameron Longwell (119), Tyler Bowens (171) and Sufyan El-Geroushi (heavyweight) were district qualifiers last season. See TITLE, page B2

Davidson girls seeking to maintain balance By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A year after relying on 2010 graduates Addie Goodwin and Jamie Caton for the majority of its scoring, the Hilliard Davidson High School girls basketball team has featured a more balanced style of offense. While earning a 14-6 overall record, the Wildcats have had seven players average between 3.6 and 9.9 points per game in Madie Long (9.9), Lauren Bates (9.5), Maddison Blackwell (6.4), Katie Dymek See PANTHERS, page B2 (6.2), Samantha Bradway (5.7), Ashley

Hurt (3.9) and Ashley Weethee (3.6). And after Davidson won eight of its final nine regular-season contests, coach Jill Taylor said she would like to see her players continue to spread the ball around in the Division I district tournament. The 12th-seeded Wildcats open district play against Groveport on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Olentangy. The winner will play Dublin Jerome or New Albany in the second round on Feb. 25 at Olentangy. “It was definitely an adjustment for our players, because I’ve asked all of them to step up and contribute more on offense,”

Taylor said. “It doesn’t matter who takes the most shots or scores. My philosophy is an open shot is a good shot, so everyone on the team has the green light to shoot when they’re open. We need to keep playing that way in the tournament to be successful.” Groveport lost to Lancaster 79-49 on Feb. 11 to drop to 5-15 despite getting 17 points from Noelani Woodson and 16 points from Teryn Connor. Taylor said her squad will use a defensive trap and full- and half-court man-toman pressure to try to force turnovers and score in transition.

“We take a lot of pride in our defense and we’re getting a lot of points off our pressure,” Taylor said. “We’ve got to be quick and move our feet to get in position to create turnovers. We’ve been doing a good job of that and we need to keep it up.” •The boys team will try to bounce back from back-to-back OCC-Central Division losses to Dublin Coffman (58-50 on Feb. 8) and Upper Arlington (61-41 on Feb. 11) when it plays at Hilliard Darby in its league finale on Friday, Feb. 18.

Swimming & Diving

’Cats, Jaguars send girls contingent to district By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers After placing 11th in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1 minute, 1.65 seconds at the Ned Reeb Invitational on Dec. 11, Hilliard Davidson High School swimmer Erin Brooks didn’t experience the kind of time drops she wanted during the rest of the season. Brooks hopes that will happen at the Division I district meet on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Ohio State. She is seeded ninth in the event after swimming a 1:01.47 at a sectional meet at Upper Arlington on Feb. 12. “I would’ve liked to have gone a little better, but I’m happy with where I’m at. I’m tapered for next week,” Brooks said. “I got off to a good start in that event, but in the middle of the season I stalled out. I had to recollect myself and get back to where I was.” Davidson was fifth (88 points) and Darby tied Central Crossing for 13th (8) in the 14-team girls sectional behind champion Upper Arlington (416). Darby was fourth (82) and Davidson 10th (36) in the 14-team boys sectional behind Upper Arlington (414). In the Division II sectional at UA, the Bradley girls finished third (251) out of five teams behind champion Wellington (296) and Grandview (255). The boys team finished sixth (37) behind

champion Grandview (284). The Wildcats advanced five girls in eight individual events as well as all three relays to district. In addition to Brooks, seeded in the top 10 for Davidson were Sarah Behrent, who was seeded seventh in the 100 butterfly (1:00.7), and the 200 medley relay, which was seeded 10th (1:56.97). Vince Gill, seeded fifth in the 100 breaststroke (1:01.92) and 10th in the 200 individual medley (2:03.25), was seeded in the top 10 for the boys team.

Additionally, 11 at-large bids are given out in each swimming event statewide based on time. “It’s hard to believe the district meet is only seven days away,” Brooks said at sectional. •Alex Caruthers of Darby has already competed against some of the best girls in the 500 freestyle in the state entering the district meet. Caruthers finished 10th at the UA sectional in the 500 free (5:42.86) and was seeded 22nd for district. UA, led by returning state runner-up Abby Chin, and Watterson, led by Sam Schuttinger, who placed ninth at state last year, captured six of the top seven spots at sectional. “I just wanted to keep going the times I have been so I can get on to the dis-

TITLE

Continued from page B1

Trent Weaver had 19 points and 16 rebounds. Jerry Briggs had 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Evan Bell added 10 points. •The girls team also beat Orange for the first time in four tries on Feb. 11, as Bailey Pierron scored 17 points and Kellie Roudabush added 10 points. Orange still won the league title at 13-1 and Bradley finished second at 12-2. The Jaguars finished the regular season 17-3 overall after beating Westerville Central 60-38 on Feb. 12. Bradley outscored Orange 134 in the fourth quarter and limited the Pioneers to a season-low point total. It was a matchup of third-seeded teams in their respective district tournaments. Orange is in Division I. “I think we can play with any team in the district, no matter what division,” said Pierron, who made a 3-pointer to give her team the lead for good at 16-13 early in the second quarter. “We’ve got a lot of athletes and a strong bench and we use our depth to our advantage on offense and defense. Teams can’t stop us by shutting down one player and we all play good defense.” Orange pulled within 33-31 with 4:46 left. After Brooke Espenschied made both ends of a one-and-one, Jasmine Junkins stole a pass and Danielle Dunnagan made a layup. Pierron then stole a pass and converted another layup 12 seconds later to make it 39-31 with 2:44 left. Bradley made six of eight free throws to seal the win. Bradley will play 11th-seeded Licking Valley or Utica at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23 at Olentangy Liberty in second round of Division II district tournament.

“It’s postseason time now, so we have to put (the Davidson dual) past us,” El-Geroushi said. “It does hurt a little bit, but we have to focus on more important things like the postseason. We have a really tough sectional. They’re all really good teams. We just have to focus there and get through that.” •Bradley is playing host to a 13-team Division II sectional on Feb. 19. Conor Driscoll (145), Andrew Higgins (160), Austin Johnston (135), Ricky McGrath (189) and Sam Riggs (171) were district qualifiers a year ago with Higgins winning the sectional title at AmandaClearcreek at 135.

Darby hires girls soccer, boys cross country coaches Hilliard Darby High School has hired Sarah Weichman as girls soccer coach and Mark Tremayne as boys cross country coach. Weichman replaces Amy Martin, who had a 16-32-4 record in three seasons and resigned last fall. Weichman spent five years as an assistant coach and two sea-

sons as the head coach at Worthington Christian, compiling a 21-9-4 record. She also played soccer at Westerville North and Butler University in Indianapolis. Tremayne replaces Cori Schulte, who resigned last fall after two seasons as boys cross country coach to spend more time with her family.

Tremayne has been Darby’s boys track and field coach since spring 2009. He previously coached the boys and girls track and field and boys and girls cross country teams at Central Crossing.

the 10th seed in the 200 free (2:15.35) and 13th in the 500 free (5:56.75). “I started breaking down. I was amazed I even made it there, so I started to tear up. Now I already know what to expect.” Last year, the girls team had only two individual qualifiers. This season, they sent five individuals in eight events. Kaitlyn Goldsmith, who was 24th at the state meet in the 50 free (25.38) last year, is seeded second in the 50 free (25.76) and sixth in the 100 free (55.99). Delaney Banda is seventh in the 100 back (1:05.17), while the 200 free relay is seeded seventh (1:50.04). Jon Satre was the only qualifier for the boys team. He’s seeded sixth in the 100 backstroke (59.64). The top three finishers in boys and the top four finishers in girls automatically qualify to the state meet Feb. 2325 at Branin Natatorium in Canton. Additionally, 11 at-large berths will be given out in each swimming event statewide based on time. Driscoll said in every practice this season she thought about making it back to district. “Every practice I’m making myself better. I just have to believe in myself and know I’m going to go faster at the district meet,” Driscoll said.

Riggs said it would help if the Jaguars stayed home for the sectional. “It’s nice to be able to stay home and compete because the kids are familiar with the surroundings,” Riggs said. “It’s great that we’re able to do this for the first time this year.” Last season, Bradley was third (160.5) at the AmandaClearcreek sectional, behind champion Olentangy (246).

Darby’s Parsley, Bradley’s Malik shine in OCC By CORY STEGER

Bradley’s Kayla Malik won on the uneven bars, as well as the vault, during the OCC-Capital meet Feb. 12 at Worthington Kilbourne. She finished fifth in the allaround. The Jaguars were runners-up to Olentangy Orange for the team title.

Hilliard Darby High School senior Meghan Parsley left the OCC-Ohio Division gymnastics meet one medal short. The top five in each event received medals, but a three-way tie for fourth place (9.0) in the floor exercise between Parsley, Grove City’s Miranda Gaitten and Thomas Worthington’s Anna Glover meant six medals were needed. Gaitten and Glover left the Feb. 12 meet at Worthington Kilbourne with their floor-exercise medals, while one will be given to Parsley later. The situation didn’t seem to bother Parsley, who won the vault (9.050), was third on the balance beam (8.825) and third in the all-around (34.425). “I felt pretty good about the way I performed,” she said. “I knew our OCC division was the toughest so there would be some good competition, but I just wanted to go out, have fun and do my best.” Nicole Norris was the other Panthers gymnast to medal by finishing fifth on beam (8.675). “I think the girls did great, and they all had great attitudes,” coach Carol Eskay said. “Our motto was, ‘No matter what,’ meaning no matter what happens you keep going. The girls really embraced it.” Darby was fourth (129.600) at the league meet behind Thomas (133.575), Olentangy (132.550) and Dublin Coffman (130.200), and ahead of Grove City (128.950) and Upper Arlington (120.657). Darby went 4-1 in the OCC-Ohio to finish second behind Thomas (5-0) and ahead of Olentangy (3-2), Coffman (23), Grove City (1-4) and UA (0-5). Parsley will seek to advance to state for the third time when she competes at the district meet on Feb. 26 at Kilbourne. The top three teams at district will advance to the team state meet on March 4 at Bradley, and the top eight individuals in each event will qualify for the individual state meet on March 5 at Bradley. “I have some pretty high expectations

points and made five 3-pointers, including one as time expired for the winning points. “Obviously, Orange is a good team, but we chose to play them because they’re more similar to us in that they aren’t a very big team, physically,” Logsdon said. “They’re athletic and good on the boards, but they don’t have any of those 6-foot-8 players who we’ve had trouble matching up with this year.” Logsdon said his team will need to avoid turnovers against a quick guard-oriented Orange

Bradley, Davidson hope to have new press boxes By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Bradley and Davidson high schools are hoping to have new press boxes for their baseball and softball teams by opening day. “It’ll have a second level, where they can call the games, but it is more of an oversized shed,” said Jeff Franklin, director of business for Hilliard City

Schools. Bids were taken for labor and material for the Davidson press box construction on Feb. 14. The bids will include a bid alternate for an identical press box at Bradley “if the pricing is right,” Franklin said. Davidson’s existing press box “was deemed to be unsafe 2-3 years ago,” Franklin said. The Hilliard Bradley Athletic Boosters recently mailed out a letter that said, “currently, neither of our

fields have a press box or adequate storage for the equipment needed to maintain these fields … we would like to construct a game management facility.” The 14-by-24-foot facility would provide storage for equipment and gear, with wooden stairs leading to a second floor for scorekeepers, scouts and media. The facility would be modeled after Darby’s, with the only difference being

that cinder block would be used on the first floor and metal siding on the second. “It’s a very small project – no electric, no water,” Franklin said. Numerous bids are expected, and the lowest bidder will be picked after references are checked. Construction should begin by March 1, and it should be completed by the end of March. “It is such a small job for most of

these contractors, that we don’t think that should be a problem,” Franklin said. On Feb. 14, the school board approved the $39,050 project for Davidson. Bradley’s boosters are soliciting donations for its press box, with the incentive of permanent plaques on the press box and outfield fence banners that will bear the names of the top donors.

Destination Hilliard sponsors volunteer event By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

“

I’ve never seen where a community has ever had a volunteer fair like this. Normally, each organization seeks volunteers, and this is kind of a way that we can collaboratively do this.

SHARPE’S SHOOTERS SUPPLY

This year, it’s set for April 10-16. “Lend a Hilliard Hand” grew out of recent Destination Hilliard meetings, Clark said. Local organizations will set up display tables with information on how individuals can get involved in volunteering a couple hours a year, or a couple hours a week. “A lot of people want to volunteer,” Clark said. “They just don’t know how to go about finding out what volunteer opportunities are available. We thought by creating a volunteer fair, it’s like a one-stop shop, and they can

come in and find out all about the various organizations that are here in Hilliard.” “Lend a Hilliard Hand” will also include an awards reception emceed by Doug Lessells from 66:30 p.m. Several organizations will recognize community volunteers at the reception. “All of the organizations who may want to give an award, they can give up to three awards,” Clark said. “It will be up to the organization to determine who receives the award from their organization.” Clark said she hopes “Lend a

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service and partners nationwide mark the 5th Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day on Jan. 28. This initiative highlights the availability of one of the federal government’s largest benefit programs for working families and individuals. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 created a new category of families with three or more children and increased the maximum benefit of EITC for tax years 2009 and 2010. The Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2010 extended these changes through 2012. The maximum credit for 2010 tax returns is $5,666 for workers with three or more qualifying children. However, workers without qualifying children may also be eligible for a smaller credit amount. “Millions of workers who did not earn high incomes claimed the EITC last year,” said Doug Shulman, IRS commissioner. “The IRS encourages all eligible taxpayers to claim this valuable credit. Together with our partners, we can help taxpayers file their returns and get the EITC.” Workers who earned $48,362 or less from wages, self-employment or farm income last year could receive larger refunds if they qualify for the EITC. Four out of five eligible taxpayers claimed the EITC last year obtaining an extra $2,200 from the credit on average. This represents a critical financial boost to over 26 million workers who earn low to moderate incomes. Eligibility for the EITC is determined based on a number of factors including earnings, filing status and eligible children. Many people who experienced a change in these factors will qualify for the first time this year and may not be aware of the credit. Taxpayers must file a tax return, even if they do not have a filing requirement, and specifically claim the credit. Those who typically fail to claim the EITC include rural workers and their families; non-traditional families, such as grandparents or foster parents raising children; taxpayers without qualifying children; individuals with limited English proficiency; Native Americans; and taxpayers with disabilities. It is easy to verify eligibility for EITC by going to www.irs.gov and typing “EITC” into the search box. There is an online EITC Assistant, which can help taxpayers determine eligibility by answering a few simple questions More information and the details of eligibility rules are available at www.irs.gov/eitc. Also, find several ways to file a tax return to claim the EITC for free. For more information, visit IRS.gov

4 You’ve heard Broadway vet Liz Callaway’s voice even if you don’t know it. She’s also handled singing parts in animated features including Anastasia (performing the Academy Award-nominated Journey to the Past), Aladdin and the King of Thieves and Beauty and Liz Callaway the Beast, among a host of others. Of course, if you’ve seen the original casts of Miss Saigon, The Three Musketeers or The Look of Love, you’ve seen her and known it. Callaway joins the Columbus Symphony Orchestra for a pops concert celebrating the works of Stephen Sondheim (this year marks his 80th birthday) and Frank Loesser (marking the 100th an-

niversary of his birth) Saturday, Feb. 19, at the Ohio Theatre. Tickets are $66.50-$20.50. Call (614) 228-8600.

raised, jazz guitarist Rez Abbasi is a leading voice in bringing modern sounds of his native land to audiences in the U.S. and around the globe. His instrumental jazz outfit, Invocation, joins Abbasid for a performance of his program “Motherland” at the Wexner Center for the Arts Saturday, Feb. 19. The program sets Pakistani qawwali music in Abbasi’s contemporary jazz world. Tickets are $17. Call (614) 2923535.

of two powerful elements of popular culture, Brooklyn rock n’roll quartet Atomic Tom is perhaps best-known, and at least was initially-known, as a result of the video posted to YouTube of the band performing its song Take Me Out on four iPhones on the New York subway. Presumably, for the band’s Tuesday, Feb. 22, show at The Basement, they’ll have more traditional instruments and amps and what-have-you. Tickets are $10. Call 1-800745-3000.

10 Jorge Gomez and his mu- traditional Cuban forms with Latin

sical compañeros were going to make timba music, despite what people told them about the challenges of finding audiences for the hybrid form among U.S. audiences. In 2000, Gomez found himself in Miami, reuniting with many friends from their days playing the clubs around Havana, Cuba. They had each had classical training alongside their cultural accumulation of Latin and Afro-Cuban musical styles like son, salsa and even santeria. And from Cuba, each had traveled with their families via a different geographical path to Miami — pianist/keyboardist Gomez first to Guatemala, others to far-flung places like Argentina, Italy and Spain. The friends were making music separately, in supporting bands for a number of top acts, but decided “we had to play this music we left behind,” Gomez told The Beat. “The first thing that came into my mind was that (timba) was the only thing we could do,” he added. “That or nothing.” Timba is a modern hybrid of

jazz, featuring instrumentation not typically found in Cuban music, resulting in something “a little deeper sounding and more energetic,” Gomez explained. The friends named their new band Tiempo Libre, or “free time,” as it started out as a side project for each. Despite what they were told about their music’s potential appeal to American audiences, Tiempo Libre didn’t stay a side project for long. “In 2004 we released our first album and got our first Grammy (Award) nomination. In 2006 we released our second album and got our second Grammy nomination,” Gomez related, with a chuckle that indicated he was being less than self-aggrandizing. Of course, those who told him it wouldn’t work had to be saying “OK, OK. We get the point.” Tiempo Libre has since earned a third Grammy nomination, and timba has taken Gomez and mates around the world. “U.S., Europe, Israel, Australia. We’re always getting a lot of support,” Gomez said. “It’s like ‘Wow, we know we’re doing the right thing.’”

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.

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. Dr. Charles Elmaraghy is a member of the Department of Otolaryngology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of clinical otolaryngology at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
