CAC election panel calls for candidates By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The members of the Clintonville Area Commission’s election committee late last week issued a formal call for candidates to run in Districts 1, 2 and 9. The formal election date will be Saturday, May 7, but the committee members decided upon two additional in-person voting days and, after some reluc-

tance, a mail-in balloting process. Potential candidates must be over 18 and reside in the district in which they wish to run. These districts are defined as follows: District 1 is bounded on the south by the Glen Echo Ravine, on the east by the railroad tracks just east of Indianola, on the north by the center line of Weber Road, and on the west by the center line of North High Street.

District 2 is bounded on the south by the Glen Echo Ravine, on the east by the center line of High Street, on the north by the center line of Orchard Lane, and on the west by the Olentangy River. District 9 is bounded on the south by the north line of Sharon Township and the eastward projection of the south line of Sharon Township, west of North High Street, and by the center line of Georgetown Drive and its westward projection

and the south line of the State Schools for the Blind and Deaf, east of North High Street, on the east by the railroad tracks just east of Indianola, on the north by the city limits of Worthington, and on the west by the Olentangy River and the east line of Sharon Township. Those districts are currently represented, respectively, by Mike McLaughlin, Sarah Snyder and D Searcy. To declare candidacy, interested per-

sons may pick up a candidate packet, including nominating petition, at the Whetstone Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library, 3909 N. High St. The 2011 election will be held May 7 at the Whetstone Library beginning at 10 a.m. and ending at 2 p.m. The votes will be counted by members of the committee, beginning at 2:15 at the library.

Tagger’s jail sentence termed ‘step in the right direction’ By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Clintonville’s oldest business ‘keeping it basic’ By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Right about the time people were being cut off from legally drinking liquor in the United States, the first head of hair was cut at Longview Barber Shop. Prohibition has long been a thing of the past, but Clintonville’s oldest continually operated business is poised to carry on into the future. Mark Twain wrote: “All things change except barbers, the ways of barbers, and the surroundings of barbers. These never change. What one experiences in a barber’s shop the first time he enters one is what he always experiences in barbers’ shops afterward till the end of his days.” “I think for us it starts with keeping it basic, focusing on good haircuts,” Dave Carty said last week. Carty is the current and seventh owner of

92-year-old Longview Barber Shop. This is not only an old barber shop, but also an old-school one. The “bzzz” of clippers mixes with the buzz of conversation as sports and sports figures get kicked around by the barbers, the customers in the chairs and those waiting their turns.

Ohio State men’s basketball coach Thad Matta was in for a trim last week, the day after his squad beat Michigan State to avenge their first loss of the season. Was it true, a customer wanted to know, that star freshman Jared Sullinger was spit on by fans in Wisconsin after the team went

down to defeat on the road? Matta’s barber neglected to ask. Current owner Carty, 36, grew up in the village of Plymouth outside Mansfield. He jokes that he became a barber because his teachers used to inform him he would never be able to make a living talking and watching television. He attended barber school in Shelby. “There’s quite a legacy in this shop,” Carty said last week. “It’s something that we’re really aware of through our customers. “They keep you honest.” To celebrate that long legacy, the Longview Barber Shop is currently celebrating the legacy of the entire Clintonville neighborhood. Adorning the walls of the shop at 3325 N. High is a timeline display, courtesy of the Clintonville Historical Society, that traces from Northwest Territory days to 1919, the year

A total of 14 people turned out for last week’s introductory meeting to the Safe Routes to School effort in Clintonville. Elizabeth Smith, chairwoman of the committee of the nonprofit organization Safer Streets for All, said she was delighted. She was hoping that maybe five people would show up.

“I was thrilled to see how many people were there,” Smith said. “Everybody was very positive, very excited about Safe Routes to Schools. It looked like it got off to a good start.” Among those attending was Clintonville Area Commission District 1 representative Mike McLaughlin, who serves as liaison to the education committee. “I think there was enough enthusiasm there … that another meeting was scheduled to continue the conversation,” McLaughlin said. “All those at-

A meeting has been scheduled to advise business owners along North High Street in the vicinity of Clintonville Portal Park on how best to handle panhandlers, vagrants and homeless people who sometimes congregate there. The information session is set for Thursday, March 3, at 3 p.m. in the Charity Newsies building, 4300 Indianola Ave. The gathering grew out of an ongoing series of meetings that have been held between Columbus Recreation and Parks officials with representatives of the Clintonville and University area commissions over perceived problems relating to the .15-acre facility. City officials stepped in early in 2010 to settle a growing dispute between the two area commissions relating to Portal Park, which was paid for and created under the auspices of the Clintonville panel,

Safe Routes to School By KEVIN PARKS

When Dave Southan became a member of the Clintonville Area Commission nearly seven years ago, graffiti was, at it is today, a problem in the neighborhood. Through connections he made with members of the University Area Commission, Southan got involved in a program that paired adults with juvenile offenders ordered to do community service for “tagging.” After a 20-foot “mural” of a woman’s face, her long, dark hair containing the signatures or “tags” of the youths who had created it, appeared on a building south of Studio 35 on Indianola Avenue, Southan was asked to supervise a young boy ordered to cover it up. The youth was reluctant to do so because the “mural” was the work of others, Southan recalled. “ ‘We have a code. This is art,’ ” Southan said the youth informed him. “I said, ‘No, this is graffiti. It’s vandalism, and it’s criminal.’ ” The boy spent the next two hours applying enamel paint with a roller to cover up what even Southan admitted was a beautiful piece of artwork — if it weren’t for the tags.

Historical society program to profile man who put cows in ‘Cow Town’ The man who kept the cows that gave Columbus its onetime nickname of “Cow Town” will be profiled on Sunday March 6, during a special presentation being put on by the Clintonville Historical Society. Historian, collector and author Richard E. Barrett will present a history of Dr. Samuel B. Hartman at the Clintonville Woman’s Club, 3951 N. High St. Tickets to the event must be purchased in advance and are limited. Tickets are $25 for members of the Clintonville Historical Society or the Clintonville Woman’s Club, $30 for nonmembers. The doors will open at 12:30 p.m. after which lunch will be served. Barrett’s presentation is scheduled to begin at approximately 1:15, followed by a question and an-

swer period. The program will be over at around 2:30. “Have you ever heard of Columbus being called Cow Town?” Clintonville Historical Society president Mary Rodgers wrote in announcing the special program. “Dr. Samuel B. Hartman was a skilled surgeon and inventor of medical equipment and tonics. His elixir, Peruna, was manufactured in Columbus. In 1903, he began to acquire land south of downtown. Quite quickly, he had amassed 4,000 acres on both sides of U.S. 23. On this land, he operated the United States’ largest farm. The farm included a sizeable dairy operation. Visitors from the south would know that they were nearing Columbus when they saw Hartman’s cows …” In addition to the farm, Dr. Hartman owned

the Hartman office building and theater as well as the Hartman Hotel. He had considerable private holdings in coal operations in southeastern Ohio. “At one time, he was the richest man in the city,” according to Rodgers. Presenter Barrett has written several books about Columbus, including “Columbus, Ohio, 1898-1950 Vintage Postcards,” “Columbus, 1860-1910” and “Columbus, 1910-1970.” “He has studied the life of Dr. Hartman and has prepared a wonderful presentation for us,” according to Rodgers. To obtain tickets contact Rodgers at 6576854 or visit Moxie’s at 3339 N. High St. This event will serve as the March meeting of the Clintonville Historical Society. There will not be a meeting on March 8.

Continued from page A1 “He was not happy about it and he complained about it the whole time,” Southan said. Last week, that boy, Seth King, now an adult, was sentenced by Franklin County Environmental Court Judge Harland H. Hale to 540 days in jail for vandalism of buildings in Clintonville, the Northland area, the University District and elsewhere. The judge suspended 180 days of the jail time, ordered the North Linden resident to perform 200 hours of community service and said he will be on probation for five years. According to The Columbus Dispatch, Hale said during King’s sentencing hearing that first-time adult graffiti offenders normally draw 10-day jail terms. Southan was among those who urged the environmental court judge to give the 19-year-old King, whose tag is the word “SEED” in bulbous, shaded letters, to the maximum allowed by law. Also weighing in was William Logan, coordinator of the Northland Community Council’s graphics task force. “I expressed the position of the graphics task force, relative to the expectations of the community, to see that the community was protected from Mr. King,” Logan said. Included in Logan’s letter to Judge Hale was an image of the “SEED” tag that appeared on a church at 827 E. Maynard Ave.

during the Christmas season. “Which showed more, in my view, of the type of individual he is,” Logan said. “I indicated to Judge Hale he has no respect for the community, no respect for God and obviously no respect for the court.” Both Southan and Logan pronounced themselves pleased with the jail time handed down for King. “I agree with it wholeheartedly,” Southan said. “It’s a step in the right direction. It’s about time. “We’ve finally gotten a sentence for an adult that is worthy,” he said. “The word I am searching for is satisfactory,” Logan said. “I requested the maximum from the perspective of the community. I respect Judge Hale’s judgment on the matter. That’s one down and the rest to go. We’ll continue to pursue vigorously anyone who attempts to vandalize our area with graffiti. “The rest of his gang, the HWC

gang, is still out there.” One of that group’s tags appeared on the Interstate 71 sound wall just north of Morse Road three weeks ago, according to Logan. “Again, another reflection of the disdain that group has for the community,” he said. “It’s a slap in the face of the community. It’s their way of implying they control the community and our neighborhoods. And our response back is it may take some time but we will track you down and you can join your buddy in jail for as long as possible. “There is no tolerance for this issue in this neighborhood.” When Seth King gets out of jail to perform his community service, and Judge Hale indicated he would entertain the idea of early release, Dave Southan, for one, wouldn’t welcome being the one who supervises him. “Somebody else can take the time with him,” he said. “I’m done.”

Peace activist to put on workshop, give performance By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

International peace activist and actor Hector Aristizabal, who was arrested and suffered torture in 1982 at the hands of U.S.-backed forces in his native Colombia, will put on a workshop and give a performance at the First Unitarian Universalist Church on Saturday, Feb. 27. Aristizabal, born in the barrios of Medellin “when it was the most dangerous city in the world,” according to his ImaginAction website, will perform at 7 p.m. The workshop will begin at 2 p.m. Space for the latter is limited. The suggestion donation for the show is $15. For the workshop, it is $35. Aristizabal came to the attention of First Unitarian Universalist Church members last year when he was at Ohio State University. The Rev. Mark Belletini, senior minister, and several other UU members attended either the activist’s performance or workshop, according to director of religious education Joilinda Stephens. “It was a profound experience,” Stephens said. “He’s very in-yourface about what happened to him. In a way he’s also very matter of fact about it, but he doesn’t pull any punches.” During his workshops, Aristi-

Hector Aristizabal

zabal uses techniques from what is called the Theater of the Oppressed, an approach usually credited to Brazilian theatrical director Augusto Boal. “In an effort to transform theater from the ‘monologue’of traditional performance into a ‘dialogue’ between audience and stage, Boal experimented with many kinds of interactive theater,” according to one website devoted to the subject. “I didn’t know what to expect when I heard the phrase Theater of the Oppressed,” Rev. Belletini said in a statement. “What I found was a theatrical piece that riveted me to my seat within seconds, and kept me attuned and focused to the very end. This is dramatization, yes, but of authentic human experience, without either bombast or easy blame. This could just as well be called Theater of the Wise, by those of us who were

present that good evening.” “He kind of takes you to the core in terms of the things you have passion for in terms of justice and peace,” Stephens said. “It’s very powerful,” she added. “It’s something very moving without being something you can’t tolerate.” During his solo performances, Aristizabal reenacts his own torture. “He drags his audience, cringing and resisting, into his experience,” Stephens wrote in announcing the man’s local appearance. “Then he leads the entire audience in processing the experience, transmuting it, even, into accessing their own inner strengths and core drive to effect change.” Fleeing death threats and the violence that was then engulfing Colombia,Aristizabal came to the United States in 1989. “In exile, Hector struggled to overcome his rage and desire for vengeance and to channel these energies instead into constructive social action,” according to the ImaginAction website. “… As an activist, he uses theatrical performance as part of the movement to end torture and to change US policy in Latin America.” Reservations are required for the Feb. 27 workshop and may be made by calling 614-975-1085. First Unitarian Universalist Church is located at 93 W. Weisheimer Road.

PORTAL PARK BUSINESSES Continued from page A1 hence the formal name, but which is actually located within the boundaries of the University District. Homeless people snoozing on benches, giving the facility an unsavory air, and aggressive panhandlers causing potential customers to stay away from businesses in the area became a major concern for a member of the University Area Commission who, in September 2009, proposed removing the benches and taking other steps to force the homeless, who have a camp in a nearby ravine, to spend time elsewhere. The March 3 meeting, according to CAC District 3 representative James R. Blazer II, is intended to dispel myths and educate the business owners near Clintonville Portal Park regarding the homeless people who spend time there. Some of them have drug and alcohol and mental health issues, and need to be gotten into programs. “What to do and what not to do, what encourages them and discourages them” will be the focus of the meeting Blazer said last week. “This particular situation is to help the businesses to understand what enables them,” he added. “If you give them $5 to get off your front step, that’s not helping to get those people off your front step; they’ll come back again.” Various city officials as well as representatives of social service programs aimed at getting homeless people off the street will be on hand at the meeting, according to Blazer. “We have more vagrants down there in the park than we have homeless,” he said. “There are people down there who are making it a lifestyle as opposed to a transition … from being down on their luck, whereas these people who are down there have been down there for many years.” In either case, the commission member said that the goal should be to get these people help so that

they can get off the street. Meanwhile, as the city-arbitrated park redesign meetings continue, the issue has come up of possibly renaming the tiny facility. Clintonville Area Commission chairman John DeFourny mentioned the potential at the February monthly meeting, and said the issue came up in light of the chance of the park undergoing some reconfiguration. Clintonville residents need to be aware the possibility is under discussion, DeFourny said. “We’re not considering any name change, but the working group is,” he added. “This gives the commissioners time to go out to their districts (and find out) is this an issue.” “I really don’t have an opinion one way or the other,” Blazer said of the renaming issue, adding that working group members have kicked around the possibility of rechristening the park to honor some of those who were instrumental in its construction. At the Feb. 3 CAC meeting, District 1 representative Mike McLaughlin commented that what was initially a controversial subject between the area commissions has instead developed into a collaborative process. “In the end, we all win,” he said. “I think the days where it’s contentious between the two area commissions are over,” Blazer said. “We’ve been able to work through the issues of what the park is, what it’s doing, what it’s not doing, what people think it should be doing. It’s a multilayered issue.” Redesigning the park, while still giving volunteers, most of them from Clintonville, who have devoted hours to maintaining plantings at the facility a chance to continue their efforts, will take many more meetings, the District 3 CAC representative said. “It’s a process that hopefully in the next few months we’ll have some things available for people to see,” Blazer said.

SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL Continued from page A1 to ensure that children arrive for classes unharmed, but also that they improve their health in doing so by walking or riding bikes when practical. Safer Streets for All, the nonprofit umbrella organization under which the Safe Routes to School program operates, was launched last fall. In addition to the Safe Routes to School program, the organization is focusing efforts on supporting the controversial turn lane at the intersection of North High Street and East North Broadway along with programs to promote safer bicycling on Clintonville’s streets. The people who turned up at the inaugural Safe Routes to School committee meeting were there “for all sorts of reasons,” according to Smith. Some were concerned about the safety of their children going to school while others expressed worry about their own safety while walking amid bicycling students. “We also talked about the fact that under the Safe Routes to Schools program we have to come up with an action plan that we would need to fulfill,” Smith said. That would be one of the steps necessary in order to apply for grant money from the state, she said. While the announcement of what groups qualify for the funding won’t be made until December, the applications must be turned

in by late May or early June. “There is a lot of work that has to be done,” Smith said. “If we don’t make this cycle, we can always try for the next.” In the meantime, the focus of the March 15 meeting will be on what can be done now that doesn’t require much or any funding, the chairwoman added. Some of the suggestions at last week’s meeting, Smith said, included striping school parking lots in order to create bicycle lanes and creating “mileage clubs” with prizes as incentives to encourage students to walk to classes. “You don’t necessarily want to wait a year and a half to get things

started,” Smith said. “There are dollars that we want to pursue for infrastructure improvements and safety improvements,” McLaughlin said, “but the other aspect of it is an education portion to get children waking to school, or biking, raising their health level and also benefiting the environment, so it’s a win-winwin on a lot of categories.” Smith expressed the hope that the work of her group can be something residents of the neighborhood will rally around. “Right now Clintonville needs about anything it can come up with to get the community working together,” she said.

LONGVIEW BARBER SHOP Continued from page A1 the shop opened. About 85 percent of what makes up the display comes from the historical society’s collection, according to president Mary Rodgers. The remainder is from images in the “Columbus Memory Project” online archive of local history of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. It’s only fitting, Rodgers said, to have Clintonville’s oldest business be a place where the neighborhood’s history is available for review. “I think it’s great,” she said. “I feel like this barbershop is an important part of this community’s history,” Carty said. Based on his research into the business’ past, Carty said that original owner Tom Pletcher reached an agreement with a drug store owner in December 1918 to open a barber shop. That took place early the following year. “We don’t know the exact date,” Carty said. In 1926, Pletcher moved his shop from the drug store to 3311 N. High Street. Longview Barber Shop arrived at its current location in 1980, in about the middle of the same block where it’s been from the inception. Pletcher owned the business until 1945 when Bill Morgan took over. In 1957, Lloyd McK-

inney became the third owner, but he was only around for two years. Andrew Kingsolver owned Longview Barber Shop from 1959 to 1972 when James Pack took over. Pack, a friend of Carty’s family, recruited the current owner to come to Columbus when he retired in 1998, selling the shop to Chris Petrosky. Carty became co-owner with Petrosky in 2001 and sole proprietor two years later. While many barbershops are struggling as old traditions give way to franchised operations and upscale stylists, Carty said that his operation is thriving. He was forced to add a fourth barber on a part-time basis around Christmas after the Thanksgiving rush led to waiting times of two and a half hours. Along with Carty, the current cutters at Longview are Jeremy Dalton, Jeremy “Nick” Nicklaus and Merry Gard. When Carty signed on as the replacement barber upon family friend Pack’s retirement, he said that he only expected to be around for a while, building his resume until he could strike out on his own. Now that the historic business has fallen to him, Carty said that he plans to stick around and grow old as Longview Barber Shop grows older still. “I can’t imagine being any other place,” he said.

CALL FOR CANDIDATES Continued from page A1 Unofficial election results will be announced following the counting session, according to election committee chairwoman Mary Rodgers. “The best way for a resident to vote in the election is to cast their ballot in person, on May 7 at the Whetstone Library,” Rodgers wrote in announcing the call for candidates. Residents not available to vote on the day of the election will have the option of casting ballots in person on Saturday April 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again on Thursday,April 28, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Committee members will conduct the advance, in-person voting, according to Rodgers. To participate in advance or election day voting, residents must prove they are 18 years or older and that they reside in the district in which they wish to cast their ballot. Proper photo identification will be reviewed by committee members prior to the distribution of a ballot. “Voters without proper identifica-

tion may sign a residency statement to receive a ballot,” Rodgers wrote in the announcement. In addition, although election committee members initially could not agree upon a mail-in voting procedure, they were ordered to include one by a majority vote of CAC members on Feb. 3.

City League Notes

Scots’ Gusan among wrestling district qualifiers By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Travis Gusan has decided that it’s best to simply embrace what he will be at the Division I district wrestling tournament: A heavy underdog. Not only is he a first-year varsity wrestler, but the Walnut Ridge High School sophomore weighs just 229 pounds — meaning that he likely will be undersized against most heavyweight opponents at district. There is one thing that Gusan has going for him heading into district on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25-26, at Hilliard

Darby: momentum. After winning the City League championship at heavyweight Feb. 12 at Columbus South, he earned a runner-up finish Feb. 19 at the Pickerington North sectional. Gusan, who attended Hartley as a freshman, was not eligible last winter. “I came (into the sectional) unseeded, and I’m just a sophomore,” Gusan said. “I know I’m the underdog, but anybody can be broken down.” Gusan is 37-3 heading into his district opener against Westerville North senior Mitch Cousins (24-10). Gusan was pinned for the first time in the sectional final by

Pickerington North’s Pat Elflein in 3 minutes, 16 seconds. Also competing at the Division I district tournament from the City League are Briggs’Wehseh Juty (171), MarionFranklin’s Chad Jones (140), Kyle Messer (119) and Michael Patrick (160), Northland’s Adam Bray (119) and Harold Mintsop (171) and Whetstone’s Marcus Moore (130). At the Division II district tournament, which will be held on the same dates as Division I at Columbus East, Beechcroft’s Amos Gweh (160), Centennial’s Stanley Hendricks (125), East’s Bashir Ali (103), Independence’s Jajuan Ross (125),

Linden-McKinley’s Jermaine Lathon (119), Mifflin’s Ezra Kennly (189) and Alec Mills (135) and South’s Jeremiah Brown (heavy) and Germaine Smith (130) will compete. •MAHARRY TO SWIM AT STATE — The Centennial boys swimming and diving team will be represented by sophomore Aaron Maharry at the Division II state meet, which began Feb. 23 and concludes Friday, Feb. 25, at C.T Branin Natatorium in Canton. In the Feb. 18 district at Ohio State, Maharry finished fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke in 1 minute, 3.22 seconds. He is seeded last of the 24 competitors

at state after earning one of 11 at-large berths. His performance helped the Stars finish 17th (42) at the 34-team district meet behind champion Granville (256.5). •SCOTS ARE BOWLING CHAMPS — The Walnut Ridge boys bowling team won its third consecutive City championship Feb. 15 when it edged Brookhaven 2,155-2,114. Junior Brandon Dye was medalist with a 455. Northland beat Briggs 1,711-1,602 for the girls City title. “We lost three to graduation from last See CITY, page B2

Takedowns lift Moore to district By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Marcus Moore is planning to approach the Division I district wrestling tournament by using the same method that got him to this point — going for takedowns. A senior and first-time district qualifier for Whetstone High School, Moore went on a thrillseeking mission as a sophomore and has since blossomed into one of the City League’s best wrestlers. After finishing second at 130 pounds at the Marysville sectional Feb. 19, Moore takes a 29-

6 record into his opening district match against Newark senior Dujuan Booker (37-7) on Friday, Feb. 25, at Hilliard Darby. The top four finishers in each weight class advance to state March 3-5 at Ohio State. “I used to be so bored when I went home,” said Moore, an East Side resident who openenrolled to Whetstone before his freshman year. “My friend had this cool wrestling shirt on and it sounded like it would be fun. I didn’t know anything about wrestling, but I just kind of went out for the team.” Moore finished third in the

City at 125 a year ago and won a conference title Feb. 12 at 130. Throughout the regular season and at sectional, Moore found most of his success by scoring points on takedowns. He beat his first sectional opponent, St. Charles’Andy Speed,

by technical fall (20-5) and then handily beat his next two foes, Watkins Memorial’s Chris Bankes (24-10) and Upper Arlington’s Vito DiBenedetto (168) to advance to the final. Moore was pinned by Marysville’s Noah Forrider in

2 minutes, 51 seconds in the championship match. “I’m real competitive, and earlier this year I asked coach (Tom) Jones what the takedown record is (since Jones took over in 2007-08) and he said it was 126. I beat that two weeks ago.

Takedowns usually work best for me. “For district, I’m just going to try to work on what I know. I just try to fight not to get taken down. I came this far and I wantSee BRAVES, page B2

Girls team eyes top-two finish at state swim meet By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Watterson High School girls swimming and diving team finished second in the Division I state meet each of the past two seasons with 2010 graduate Gracie Finnegan leading the way. Last year, the University of Arizona recruit helped score 120 points for her team at state, where the Eagles finished second (186) behind Upper Arlington (295) as 55 teams scored. Finnegan won both the 50-yard freestyle (23.2 seconds) and 100 free (50.06) for a third consecutive year and anchored Watterson’s 200 free relay (1:35.08) and 400 free relay (3:27.09) to first-place finishes. But even though the Eagles no longer have an athlete who is the caliber of Finnegan, junior Camey Rabold is confident they still have enough depth to challenge for second in the state for a third consecutive season. The state meet will be held Thursday through Saturday, By Mike Munden/ThisWeek Feb. 24-26, at Canton’s C.T. Branin Watterson’s Celeste Cantwell is fouled by Brittaney Natatorium.

too,” Rabold said. “But we’re hoping to make up for the loss of Gracie by each finishing a little higher than we did last year, both individually and as part of our relays. I think we have a good shot at finishing runner-up again and that would be a huge accomplishment.” Five athletes who competed at state last year have returned to lead the Eagles in Rabold, Michele Rielly, Samantha Schuttinger, Catie

(3:32.88, fifth) and 200 medley relay (1:50.09, 15th) Others who competed at district: Boys — Sam Besozzi: 100 breast (1:03.58, sixth), 100 fly (59.99, 20th); Peter Clark: 50 free (23.51, 17th); Nicky Dicarlo: diving (237, fifth); Noah Oliver: 500 free (5:46.0, 24th); Ryan Preston: 100 back (1:02.57, 17th); Michael Swartz: 50 free (23.69, 22nd), 100 free (53.08, 19th); 200 free relay (1:42.44, 23rd); 400 free relay (3:37.65, ninth); 200 medley relay (1:45.5, fifth); Girls — Catie Clark: 50 free (25.63, 16th), 100 free (55.55, 16th); Francis: 100 back (1:00.65, 14th); Madeline Grubbe: 100 back (1:00.99, 17th), 100 fly (1:00.69, 14th); Kate Kozlowski: 200 free (2:04.28, 20th), 500 free (5:37.35, 19th); Frankie Robinson: diving (197.2, 18th); Maggie Valchovic: diving (103.95, 25th); Kristen Zulliger: diving (104.82, 23rd)

Clark and Aly Francis. Rabold, Rielly, Schuttinger and Finnegan combined to win the 200 and 400 free relays. Rabold finished fourth in the 200 free (1:51.15) and placed fifth in the 500 free (4:57.45). Rielly finished eighth in the 50 free (24.2) and Schuttinger finished ninth in both the 200 free (1:53.28) and 500 free (5:00.99). Rielly, Mary Whittington, Clark

and Francis finished 13th in the 200 medley relay (1:50.62), and Francis finished 19th in both the 50 free (24.85) and the 100 backstroke (59.92). Coach Quintin Ward expects Cincinnati Turpin, Cincinnati Ursuline Academy and Springboro to give his team stiff competition at state. But the Eagles also have been bolstered by the return of senior Emily Boone, who missed the end of last season with a back injury. As a sophomore, Boone finished fourth in the 100 butterfly (56.08) and seventh in the 200 individual medley (2:05.1). “I still have to give the nod to UA as the frontrunner to win state again, because they have so much depth,” Ward said. “But I think we still should be somewhere in the top three if we swim the way we’re supposed to, because we have a lot of experience across the board. Emily Boone coming back should be a big factor for us, because she will help our relays, too. I’d like to put all three of our relays on the podium, including our medley relay because that could give us the edge.” The Eagles finished second (240) See EAGLES, page B2

Rabold won the 200 free (1:15.82) ahead of UA’s Abby Chin (1:52.36) and finished second in the 100 back (56.32) to Thomas Worthington’s Claudia Doyle (56.03). She is seeded fourth for state in both events. “My goals are to finish first or second in the 200 free and to finish top three in the 100 back, but there are a lot of fast girls, so I’ll have to keep dropping time,” Rabold said. Rielly finished second in the 50 free (23.65) behind UA’s Kayla Hammerberg (23.57) and is seeded fifth for state. “We’re not tapered for this meet, so I’d like to stay the same or maybe drop a little more time,” Rielly said. Boone placed third in the 100 fly (56.99) behind Pickerington Central’s Maddie Martin (55.11) and UA’s Claire Van Fossen (56.68) and is seeded seventh for state. “I was really surprised by my 100 fly race because it didn’t feel fast,” Boone said. “I’m not having any problems with my back this year, so hopefully, I can drop a few more seconds and get top three on the podium.”

Continued from page B1 ed to make sure that I go out with a bang.” Jones has been impressed with Moore’s growth as a wrestler. Moore, who won one sectional match last season, gives the Braves a district representative for the second consecutive season. Last year, 2010 graduates Ben Leach (135) and Spencer Tuttle (119) both qualified for district. “(Moore is) comfortable enough on his feet,” Jones said. “What he likes to do is take a guy down and then let him go. He does that several times in the first period and gets the lead secured. This year he’s in the neighborhood of 150 takedowns, and that’s been a real key to his success. It’s the same thing we had success with, with Spencer and Ben Leach. It’s just been about his technique and experience, and he’s put a lot of hard work in the last two years.” •The season ended for the boys and girls swimming and diving teams at the Division I district meet Feb. 18-19. The top finisher was junior diver Oran Irwin, who placed eighth (305.9). Also competing individually was junior Olivia Degitz, who placed 28th (1:04.43) in the 100-yard backstroke and 29th in the 100 freestyle (57.61).

Continued from page B1 year, so we thought it was going to be a rebuilding program this year,” said Scots coach Mendell Hibbard, whose team finished ninth at state last season. “With two seniors, two juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen, it worked out wonderfully.” The Scots won’t be back at state as a team after they finished eighth (3,612) at the sectional at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl on Feb. 18. The top six advanced to the district tournament on Saturday, Feb. 26. Advancing as teams to district from the City were the Brookhaven boys (fourth at Eastland Lanes sectional) and the Briggs girls (sixth at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl sectional). Netronne Backus (fourth, 662), Evan Marshall (seventh, 642) and Travis Stokes (tied for 10th, 610) led the Bearcats, and Jordyn Estep led the Bruins (10th, 481) at sectional. Advancing individually to the boys district tournament were Northland’s Trent Ranson (eighth at Eastland Lanes, 632), Independence’s Lamont Venable (26th at Eastland Lanes, 582) and Walnut Ridge’s Wayne Russell (third at Wayne Webb’s sectional, 648) and Dye (12th at Wayne Webb’s sectional, 585). Qualifying for the girls district from the Eastland Lanes sectional were Northland’s Bradishia Foster (tied for 14th, 516), Brookhaven’s Madison Morris (29th, 470) and Beechcroft’s Nellie Jones (30th, 464). •WALNUT RIDGE FALLS TO VIKES — The sixth-seeded Walnut Ridge boys basketball team

faces Grove City or Dresden TriValley in the second round of the Division I district tournament at 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25, at Hamilton Township. Walnut Ridge, which won eight in a row after falling to MarionFranklin 70-65 on Jan. 18, lost to Northland 59-52 in the City championship game on Feb. 19. Senior forward Austin Traylor, who is the Scots’ leader in scoring average at more than 17 points per game, was held scoreless during the first half and finished with nine points. Fred Hardgrove and Reco Spears each scored 11 to lead Walnut Ridge, which got as close as four points during the second half. The Vikings won their fifth consecutive City title. “It was a tough game,” said Scots coach Jason Bates, whose team fell to 16-4. “We match up very well with them physically. I thought we could present them with some matchup problems. We didn’t execute as well as we have lately. “Some of it was that Northland played great defense because it seemed like every shot was a tough shot. I think that’s probably the best team in the state, and for us to be there with them, it gives us a good gauge going into the tournament.” Also preparing for its tournament opener this weekend is Columbus West, which will face Gahanna or Westland in a secondround game at 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, at Worthington Christian Middle School. Fifth-seeded Centennial will open the Division II district tournament against Big Walnut or
