Conrath’s successor

Board to launch search for superintendent upcoming retirement of Melissa Conrath. Conrath told the board on Feb. 14 that she plans to step down by the end of 2011. She has been superintendent for five years.

The Worthington Board of Education will hire a search firm to assist in finding a new superintendent of schools. “It’s going to consume a lot of the board’s time this year,” said board pres- Melissa ident Marc Schare upon learning of the Conrath

“I wasn’t surprised,” Schare said. “When we hired her in 2005, she said she would stay five years.” Known for her consensus building skills and community involvement, Conrath has led the district through budget reductions and financial uncertainty. At the same time, the district has retained its “excellent” rating with the state of

Ohio. Schare said the board will work with the community to decide what qualities and skills are important in a future superintendent. It will then convey that information to a search firm, which must be chosen at the same time. The board plans to interview three or four firms, he said.

Once the firm gathers applications, the board must be able to choose to interview anyone from the pool, not be limited by the recommendation of the firm, he added. “If any of the five of us think someone merits an interview, we will do the See BOARD TO LAUNCH, page A2

Chamber weathered challenges in 2010 By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Despite the recession and a storm that all but wiped out a major fundraiser, the Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce fared well in 2010. In fact, it earned six dollars more in net revenue than it did in 2009, said treasurer Paul Cynkar during the chamber’s annual meeting on Feb. 22 at the DoubleTree by Hilton located at Crosswoods. The loss of expected revenue from the rained-out Taste of Worthington in July hurt, as did the state of the economy. But that is only part of the story of central Ohio’s third-largest chamber of commerce.

A closer look The bottom line is that the chamber ends the year with total liabilities and equity of $364,472, including restricted funds of $175,051. All but $20,000 of that is in a building fund that may be used to establish new chamber offices.

“It has not been the absence of challenges and problems, but the way Kathryn (director Kathryn Paugh) and the board have dealt with them that has made the difference,” Cynkar said.

The bottom line is that the chamber ends the year with total liabilities and equity of $364,472, including restricted funds of $175,051. All but $20,000 of that is in a building fund that may one day be used to establish new chamber offices. Currently, the Worthington chamber is located in rented space at 25 W. New England Ave. Opportunity Knocks was the theme of the annual meeting. Participants who visited sponsor tables earned keys to try to open a door for a grand prize. Margaret Doone, chief fiscal officer for Worthington Libraries, opened the door to the iPad, which was donated by CSC.

“The library could always use another one,” she said. Also at the meeting, Kay Lakhi of the Rite Bite was re-elected chairman of the board of trustees. Sheila Sinno of Sinno Law Office is the new chairelect, and Cynkar, of Battelle for Kids, was re-elected treasurer. Incoming trustees are Joe Davis of Worthington Jewelers; Amy Hall of DeVry University; Pat Bright of Comfort Inn Polaris; and Marissa Michaels, OhioHealth. Other trustees are Bill Alsnauer, Ann Baldwin, Tony Lordo, Bill Owens, Jeff Regensburger, and Norris Woods Jr. Outgoing trustees are Shera Skaggs and Lynn Nadler.

Record crowds expected at 10th Pancake Day By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The 10th annual Worthington Pancake Day is expected to draw 4,000 people to Thomas Worthington High School on March 5. The event has grown steadily since beginning a decade ago as a fundraiser for athletic teams at Worthington Kilbourne and Thomas Worthington high schools, said co-chair Chip Hanks. With even more activities planned for this year’s

event, crowds should top last year’s record of 3,400, he said. Hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and a $5 ticket will buy pancakes, sausage and beverage. The Andersen’s sponsors the tickets, which can be redeemed for face value with a $30 purchase at the store. But food is only part of the fun, with a silent auction, inflatable games, a sports swap and other activities lined up this year. Super Games is a sponsor this year, and will set up several inflatable toys

inside the school for the younger set. The sports swap is new this year. People are invited to bring used sporting goods which will be sold by the Worthington Youth Boosters during the event. The silent auction last year raised $20,000. Items this year include golf packages, restaurant gift certificates, jewelry, camps and an organ. A Ford dealer will offer test drives of new vehicles.

Jack Sutherland told police he robbed a Worthington bank last week because he was broke, sick and needed a place to live. “He wanted to go back to prison,” Lt. Mike Dougherty said. Police obliged, arresting Sutherland, 60, after he allegedly held up the Chase Bank, 50 W. Wilson Bridge Road, at 5:54 p.m. on Feb. 15. According to police, he entered the bank and Jack Sutherland handed a note to a teller indicating he had a gun, was robbing the bank and wanted cash. No weapon was observed, and it turned out he had only a hairbrush in his pocket. The teller gave the robber a small amount of See BANK ROBBER, page A2

Telhio looks for room at Holiday Inn By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A few years ago, the city soundly rejected a proposal to build a Walgreens in the front parking lot at the Worthington Holiday Inn. Will a similar proposal from a local credit union meet a different fate? That may become evident tonight (Thursday, Feb. 24), when the Architectural Review Board (ARB) and Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) consider a proposal to build a new Telhio Credit Union at 7007 N. High St., in front of the Holiday Inn. The credit union is currently located a block away, at the entrance to Worthington Square. The new 3,115-square-foot building would be set back more than 100 feet from High Street, well within required setbacks. The red brick building and columns forming three See TELHIO, page A3

Board to launch search for new superintendent Continued from page A1 interview,” Schare said. He expects the public to have some input into the process. He hopes to have someone hired by late spring to start in the fall. Conrath said she expects to leave in October, but is flexible. “If we need to reject the candidates and go back to the pool, we have the luxury of doing that,” Schare said. Conrath, 57, plans to spend more time with fam-

ily. She hopes to continue to be active professionally, but not at the level of commitment demanded of her now. Melissa and her husband, Jack, plan to spend more time at their home in Santa Ynez, California, but to continue to live in Old Worthington. “We love the community, we like to walk to Graeter’s and P.K. O’Ryan’s and to Rush Creek,” she said. Conrath’s salary is $153,824, plus benefits. Before coming to Worthington, she was superintendent of Big Walnut schools for 11 years and was assistant superintendent in Gahanna before that.

BANK ROBBER Continued from page A1 money, which he took and walked out of the bank. Witnesses saw him walk to the bus stop in front of the bank and sit down on a bench. Worthington police responded to the scene and found the man still sitting on the bench, waiting patiently for police to arrive. He was placed under arrest, and all of the money was recovered. Sutherland told police he couldn’t make it on the outside. A diabetic, he was taken to the hospital because his blood sugar level was out of control, Dougherty said. Before robbing the bank, Sutherland reportedly went to a restaurant at Worthington Square and had a couple of beers.

But the credit card he used to pay was probably not any good, since Sutherland was broke, police said. He has not been in prison for about 20 years, when he was jailed on drug-related charges, Dougherty said. But he had recently fallen on hard times, and robbed a bank hoping to be sent to a federal prison. Instead, he will probably be headed to the state penitentiary, but will get his needs met, the lieutenant said. “You got no worries,” he said. “You get three meals a day, and a bed at night.” Sutherland’s last known address was Ashton place in Gahanna. cbrooks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Continued from page A1 And, at noon, high school football players will square off in a pancake-eating contest. “It’s just a fun event,” said Hanks. Money raised goes directly to the athletic programs at both high schools to fund operating budgets of individual sports, as well as funding capital projects such as the weight room at TWHS and the digital sign at WKHS. Volunteers from both schools run the event, which is held at each school on rotating years. “The neat part about it is the way the two schools get together,” Hanks said.

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

Police reports Worthington police • On Feb. 15, police assisted in filing truancy charges on a student at Wilson Hill Elementary School. • On Feb. 15 at 10:30 a.m., a bomb threat was found on a wall in a stall in a boys’ restroom at Thomas Worthington High School. • On Feb. 15 between 3:30 and 3:45 at a business in the first block of East Wilson Bridge Road, an employee left her purse in an exam room and a wallet and glasses were stolen. • On Feb. 15 or 16 from the lot

of King Business Interiors, 6575 Huntley Road, a 26-foot white Ryder box truck was stolen. • Overnight on Feb. 16 in the 200 block of Halligan Avenue, a window of a vehicle was broken and tools stolen. • Between Jan. 31 and Feb. 17 at King Business Interiors, 6575 Huntley Road, a person apparently altered a lock to accommodate trespassing to steal furniture parts. • On Feb. 20 at 12:07 a.m. in the 1000 block of Proprietors Road, a complainant saw a teenaged boy running from a dumpster that was on fire.

TELHIO Continued from page A1 drive-through lanes would also include a buffstone colored stone water table, frieze and accent bands. It would have a cross-hipped roof, with the larger portion running east-west over the main building, and a shorter arm extending north to cover the drive-through. Two existing curb lanes would remain. One is from North High Street, the other from Caren Avenue. Currently there are 106 parking spaces on the portion of the lot under consideration. With the new building, there would be 65. Thirteen are needed for the credit union. That would leave 52 spaces for the conference center at Holiday Inn, with 65 spaces available during non-business hours. Telhio is open Monday and Friday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Tuesday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. When neighbors and the city objected to the Walgreen’s proposal, the main concerns were over the traffic that would be generated, especially into nearby residential neighborhoods. While the city’s development staff has not taken an official stand on this proposal, a staff memo notes that “traffic patterns will not be greatly affected with this development.” It also notes the use is compatible with the general area, but that the plan may preclude future redevelopment that is denser, closer to the street for pedestrians, and a mix of uses on the site, as has been discussed as part of the Wilson Bridge Road planning study. The proposal requires approval of the ARB and a conditional use permit for a credit union with a drive-thru in C-4 zoning district from MPC.

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.

Food pantry thanks its many supporters To the editor: The Worthington Food Pantry & Resource Center extends sincere and deep appreciation for the community’s support during the last 18 months. The growth of the number of families served in this short time underscores the need for Pantry services in our community. When we opened in August 2009, we served 25 families. Now, more than 250 families received much-needed assistance in January 2011. It is your generous financial donations, food drives and volunteer support that make this possible. With the help of our dedicated volunteers, who have logged more than 2,600 hours in the last six months, our clients are greeted with dignity and a caring heart. Grateful is just one word to describe our experience at the 2010 summer Saturday farmers markets. Cash donations totaled more than $4,500 and we were humbled and impressed by our youngest community members as they placed their gifts in the pantry collection box and expressed their wish to

Heartfelt thanks to all. Sandy Byers Chairperson, Board of Directors Teresa Felten, Executive Director Worthington Food Pantry & Resource Center

Scientists have long wondered how the brain is able to pick out one speaker’s voice in voice -filled rooms. This phenomenon known as the “cocktail party effect” enables us to carry on a conversation in loud environments. Recently, research involving birds has provided some important clues. To find out how zebra finches pick out one voice in a cacophonous crowd, scientists studied their brains while the birds listened to audio recordings. This work led to the discovery of individual brain cells that, in a sense, acted like dogs listening for their master’s voice. Other cells scanned long stretches of sound looking for a particular vocal feature. If human brains have similar cells, it may lead to advances in hearing instrument technologies. People who have normal hearing in both ears - known as binaural hearing - are better able to hear well in noisy environments, since the brain uses the information received from each ear to localize a sound source. If you have noticed a significant decrease in your ability to hear out of one or both ears, call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS at 614-654-4309 to schedule a comprehensive hearing exam. We will explain any impairment we diagnose and recommend the appropriate hearing instrument for your particular condition. Our office is located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!

As it were

Industry made slow but steady progress in the city In the years before the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861, Columbus, the capital of the state of Ohio, was more than the symbolic center of state power and authority. Created by the Ohio General Assembly to be the new capital city in 1812, the town had grown slowly at first and as late as 1830, only had 2,000 residents. Then the National Road and Ohio Canal reached ED central Ohio and by 1834, LENTZ Columbus was a city of 5,000 people. But even that new and bustling city seemed to make most of its money in transportation and trade. Reading of the men who were the early successes in Columbus enterprise, one comes away with the distinct impression that the best way to earn money was to serve the Ohio General Assembly with room and board, move people and products from place to place, or meet the needs of the people who did such things. A few examples might illustrate this point. William Neil came to Columbus in 1818 and soon got into the stagecoach business. Leaving his wife to run a small tavern across from the Statehouse, Neil would eventually build an empire on wheels and become known as the “Stagecoach King.” Lincoln Goodale was a physician who found that there was not a lot of demand for doctors in the new town. He opened a store and made a lot of money. As a gesture of gratitude to his adopted town, he gave Columbus its first park — Goodale Park. Then there was Alfred Kelley. Representing Cleveland and then Columbus in the legislature, Kelley found time to ensure the completion of the Ohio Canal, the reform of Ohio’s banks and the construction of railroads. If we add to these examples the stories of bankers such as David Deshler and lawyers such as Orris Parish, one might conclude that Columbus was a place where people made their money providing services rather than making things. And this would be true — but only partly true. Like most capital cities across America, most of the economic history of the city is the story of a highly diversified economy with some people working in government, others in trade and still others in transportation. And composing another significant part of the workforce were people employed in manufacturing. When Columbus was an isolated frontier village, many of the goods people needed and could not make themselves were purchased from local craftsmen — the blacksmith, the gunsmith, the miller and that old frontier standby, the whisky distiller. With the arrival of the Ohio Canal in the 1830s and railroads in the 1850s, it became possible to import raw materials such as iron and timber to a central place like Columbus and ship finished products from that place to a waiting world. It was not long before a number of people began to do just that.

The Scioto River looking north from the Broad Street Bridge in 1889. Many of the factories built in the 1850s can still be seen along the riverfront.

Most early factories in Columbus were relatively small in size and employed dozens rather than hundreds of workers in a few sturdy buildings. It was no accident that most of them soon came to be located near a ready source of water — the Scioto River. The kind of products made by these early factories says something about the needs of the people of central Ohio. The oldest successful manufacturing company in Columbus was begun in 1822 by a man named Joseph Ridgway. Initially using horses to provide power to his foundry, Ridgway began to produce Jethro Wood’s Patent Plow. It was later said of Ridgway by a local writer in the 1850s that “… he made and sold an immense number. It was considered the best plow in use.” In 1830, Ridgway joined with a nephew to finance the conversion of his factory to steam power and begin the production of machinery, steam engines, cast iron stoves and other products. In 1849, the Ridgways joined with a man named Pearl Kimball in a new business making railroad cars. Joseph Ridgway died in 1850 and Kimball operated the car company. Ridgway’s foundry business passed in 1854 to another entrepreneur, Peter Hayden. Hayden had come to Columbus in the 1830s and begun a number of enterprises. He started a business making saddles and other equipment for horses, using the labor of prisoners at the nearby Ohio Penitentiary. At the same time, he opened his own foundry producing bar iron, hoop iron and wire from pig iron and scrap iron. Eventually, Hayden and his family would also invest heavily in the coal and iron fields of southeastern Ohio. In 1838, John Gill and others built Gill’s Foundry with about 25 workers on the west side of the

Scioto and developed a good business making stoves and other iron goods. In 1855, the company began making a combination steel plow that sold quite well and later began making railroad cars as well. In 1849, Charles Ambos and James Lennox started the Eagle Foundry with $8,000. When the business was sold in 1854, the foundry became a joint stock company under the name of the Columbus Machine Manufacturing Co. Employing more than 125 men, it provided the iron for the roof of the new Statehouse as well as all of the iron ceilings and railings in the building. And while all of this was going on, other factories were making other sorts of goods. Two men named Brotherlin and Halm began producing chairs and cabinetware by steam-powered machinery in 1853. Another company began making wooden hollowware — tubs and pails, primarily — in a factory along the river in 1856. By 1858, there were others. A local description reported that they included Ohlen and Drake’s steampowered saw factory, Hines and Miller’s steam-powered paper mill, and Butlers’ coffee- and spicegrinding mill. And almost as an afterthought, the author noted that there were “two extensive breweries at the south end of the city.” All of these enterprises contributed importantly to the success of Columbus. In all, they employed several hundred men, many of them recent immigrants from Ireland and Germany who worked alongside recent arrivals — black and white — from rural Ohio. These new factories formed the beginnings of industry in Columbus and a pattern of industrial growth and success that has continued to the present day. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

For one year, Colin Beavan tried to save the planet from environmental catastrophe, dragging his young daughter and his Prada-wearing wife along for the ride. He swore off plastic and toxins, turned off his electricity, went organic and became a bicycle nut. In his book, “No Impact Man,” Beavan chronicles his family’s attempts to live eco-effectively – right in the heart of Manhattan – from their first baby steps (no takeout food) to their giant leap (no toilet paper). What were Beavan’s conclusions about no-impact living? Read the book, then share your thoughts with the rest of the Thursday Morning Book Discussion Group on April 28, when the selected title is “No Impact Man.” The Thursday Morning Book

Swimming & Diving

Doyle enjoys earning return trip to state By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers According to senior Claudia Doyle of the Thomas Worthington High School girls swimming and diving team, the problem with making it to the awards podium at the Division I state meet as a sophomore is the pressure to duplicate the feat the next two years. Doyle finished seventh at state in the 100-yard backstroke (57.78 seconds) in 2009 and placed fifth in the event (57.4) last year.

“Last year, I was expecting too much out of myself,” she said. “I forgot about the whole ‘swimming is fun’ thing. “I have a different outlook on things than I had last year. This is my senior year, and I wanted to have a fun time and be with the team.” Doyle is headed back to state in the 100 back after winning the event at the district meet Feb. 19 at Ohio State in 56.03. She is seeded second at state behind Cincinnati Ursuline freshman Emily Slabe (54.78). The top three in each swimming event

and top four in diving at district automatically qualified for the state meet, which runs Thursday, Feb. 24, through Saturday, Feb. 26, at the C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. In addition, 11 at-large state berths for each swimming event were awarded based on times statewide. The girls team, which advanced three individuals and all three relays to state, placed third at district with 201 points behind Upper Arlington (505) and Watterson (240). Doyle also will compete at state in

the 50 freestyle and on the 200 medley relay and 400 free relay. She is seeded ninth at state in the 50 free after placing fourth (23.89) at district and joins Maren Reeder, Julia Valentine and Katie Allison on the 200 medley relay, which is seeded fifth after placing second (1:47.53) at district, and joins Valentine, Abby Jank and Reeder on the 400 free relay, which is seeded 12th after placing fourth (3:35.72) at district. Also qualifying for state were Reeder and Valentine in the 100 breaststroke and the 200 free relay of Allison, Valen-

tine, Jank and Carly Davis. Reeder, a sophomore, is seeded 13th at state in the 100 breast after breaking the oldest-standing program record while placing fourth in the event at district in 1:06.02. Reeder topped the previous mark of 1:06.7 set by Cassie Burnside in 1978. Valentine is seeded 19th at state in the 100 breast after finishing seventh (1:07.07) at district. The 200 free relay is seeded 24th after See SWIM, page B3

Wrestling

Wolves advance six to district Thomas pair also moves on By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

“We worked on that zone, saw film on it the last two or three days and saw Liberty play two or three times,” Palmer said. “Preparing for it is one thing and playing against it is another. “A couple of the girls made comments like, ‘Man, every pass we make is being tipped.’We were like, ‘We told you so.’” Having a winning season and winning a tournament game are two of Palmer’s

Worthington Kilbourne High School wrestler James Gundling did not take the easiest path to the Division I district tournament. The sophomore lost his opening match at 130 pounds during the sectional on Feb. 19 at Westland, but he came back to win three times while facing elimination and posted four victories overall in the consolation bracket to qualify. Gundling had one pin and won three decisions by a combined 29 points, which included an 11-0 victory over Dublin Scioto’s Anthony Tracchio in the third-place match. A 16-7 victory over Lancaster’s Ben Barnhart-Sullivan in a consolation semifinal put him in the district meet. “I went back into the locker room and thought about my season ending. That was my motivation,” Gundling said, referring to his 12-6 first-round loss to Groveport’s Jeff Mullins. “I just couldn’t let that happen.” Gundling improved to 21-6 and will face Beavercreek’s Sam Schaeffer in his opening match at the district tournament, which will be held Friday, Feb. 25, and Saturday, Feb. 26, at Hilliard Darby. “James really had his heart set on qualifying for district,” coach Ed Chism said. “He was in one of the tougher weight classes. He had to come a long way back, but he wrestled very well and made it through the entire day.” Six Wolves advanced to compete at district. They included sectional runners-up Mike Mayberry (171) and Jedidiah Bressman (189), who lost 6-2 against Westland’s Exodus King in the final. Mayberry, who lost 16-5 against Dublin Jerome’s Brad Myers in his final, is 28-9 entering his firstround district match against Sidney’s Steven Jones. Chism said that Bressman will be unable to compete because of a shoulder injury. The senior finished 31-8. “It’s one of those fluke things,” Chism said. “He was fine (after the sectional), but he woke up (the next morning) hurting. He went to the doctor and found out he had torn ligaments.” The other district qualifiers are third-place finishers Nick Varazashvili (125) and Connor Wolfe (140), both of whom advanced to a championship semifinal, in addition to Lucky Shaut (103), who placed fourth. Shaut is 21-12 entering his district match against Marysville’s David Sparks. Varazashvili is 385 while Wolfe is 27-8 heading into their respective district matches against Pickerington Central’s Isaiah Brunner and Marysville’s Chase Boyd. Kyle Wahl (135, fifth) is a dis-

Wolves’ season ends with first-round loss By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Olivia Zimmerman walked off the court wishing for at least one more game with the Worthington Kilbourne High School girls basketball team. The Wolves’ season ended with a 3926 loss to Olentangy Liberty in the first round of the Division I district tournament on Feb. 17 at Hamilton Township. “Last year (when we lost in the tour-

nament), I was just ready for it to be over,” said Zimmerman, a senior guard who scored 10 points against Liberty. “This year we had a very successful season. I would’ve loved to win this game. Everyone worked really hard, and it was fun to play with each other.” The Wolves finished 10-11 overall. “This year we had 10 wins, but you start getting greedy and wanting that next win,” coach Steve Palmer said. “I think our seniors deserved (to have a winning

season), but nothing is given to you. Liberty came out ready to play.” The Patriots used strong defense and smart shot selection to prevent Kilbourne from winning its first tournament game since a 38-31 victory over Watkins Memorial in 2008. Liberty limited Kilbourne to two baskets in the first half and made eight of 12 shots from the floor in the second half. Palmer said the Patriots’ 1-2-2 zone threw the Wolves off their game.

Hockey

Losses don’t dampen mood for Wolves, Cards By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tom Erlenbusch realized his Worthington Kilbourne High School hockey team faced a major obstacle in thirdseeded Dublin Coffman during the second round of the district tournament. But the fourth-year coach believed his team played well in a 7-1 loss to the Shamrocks on Feb. 20 at The Dispatch Ice Haus, finishing the season 621-1 overall. “The last time we played them (Jan. 29), they run-ruled us 10-0 in the second period,” Erlenbusch said. “Our (junior) goalie Joe Fischer had the game of his life (with 51 saves) and our team came out and played well to trail only 1-0 after one (period). One of our seniors, Joey Jacob, got the goal, so that also was great.” The Wolves beat Kettering Alter 91 in their opening-round district game on Feb. 19 at Chiller Dublin. Jacob scored three goals and sophomore center Austin Taylor had two. Senior defenseman Matt Agner, sophomore left wing/center Patrick Roman, sophomore right wing Davis Wolff and freshman defenseman/right wing Noah Veccia

all scored once. “It was really good to end the season on a positive note,” Erlenbusch said. “Our two seniors meant everything to us and next year we’ll have some big shoes to fill.” Roman finished with 22 goals and 11 assists and Jacob had 17 goals and 17 assists. Agner had 10 goals with one assist and Taylor had eight goals with seven assists. Other juniors expected to return are defenseman Perry Dilley and goaltender Jim Day. The sophomores include right wing Andrew Dowler, right wing Garren Erlenbusch (3 goals, 7 assists), defenseman Nick Marinelli, right wing Reid Sampson and defenseman Nathan Walters. Freshmen included defenseman Tucker Haas, right wing Scott Humes (4 goals), right wing Cody Mathess and left wing Ben Piecenski (4 goals). “We should have everyone back except for the two seniors,” Erlenbusch said. “We only have five freshmen coming in, so it would be better to have more of them, but that’s all that I know of.” The Wolves went 2-11 (4 points) in the CHC to finish 12th of 14 teams.

ing round of the district tournament on Feb. 19 at Chiller Dublin. Junior defenseman Kyle Gratz and freshman forward Tommy Pischel scored. “Losing the way we did to Orange with bad breaks and some defensive mistakes, the kids might not realize just how well they played this season,” firstyear coach Don Harper said. “We broke .500 for the season and with the young team we had. I don’t know if anyone thought we would do that well.” The Cardinals had three seniors in forward Jimmy Danko (12 goals, 2 assists), goaltender Hilton Dellinger (3.11 goals-against average in nine games) and senior forward Shane Hartlaub (15 goals, 31 assists). “I think the seniors meant a lot this year,” Harper said. “They gave us solid leadership and Shane, who was our captain, led by example and gave everything he had.” The Cardinals expect to return their leading scorer in sophomore forward Will Byars (21 goals, 24 assists). Other scoring threats expected back are junior defenseman Kyle Gratz (17, 13), junior forward Harrison Cohan (10, 19), sophomore defenseman Brett McCarthy (8, 12), freshman forward

Tommy Pischel (8, 10), junior forward Graham Nadler (8, 3), sophomore defenseman Nick Highley (6, 9) and freshman forward Riley Mahoney (6, 7). Sophomore goalkeeper Jonathan Highley had a 2.52 goals-against average in 21 games, and freshman goalie Sean Lima had a 1.62 average in eight games. Also expected back are junior forward Jacob Brumfield (1, 1) and junior forward Andrew Wallace (2 assists), as well as sophomore forward Sam Bachmann and sophomore defenseman Quintin Schomaker. Other freshmen included forward Kevin Hill, defenseman Liam Martin and defenseman Kevin Sholes. “Everyone added something to the team and we had a number of young fellas contributing,” said Harper, whose team won the Blue Jackets Cup consolation tournament for a second consecutive season. “We were pretty much a freshmansophomore team. I think we have a solid foundation for next year and that comes from their hard work.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

top goals for next season. Kilbourne nearly doubled the number of wins it had the previous two seasons when it finished 3-18 overall in both 200809 and last year. For the first time in Palmer’s four-year tenure, the Wolves defeated Hilliard Darby (39-23 on Dec. 7) and Central Crossing (36-23 on Jan. 3 and 43-41 on Feb. 8). Kilbourne tied Central Crossing for fifth in OCC-Central Division with a 5-9 record. Upper Arlington (13-1) won the league for the second consecutive year, followed by Dublin Coffman (11-3), Hilliard Davidson (10-4), Thomas Worthington (9-5), Kilbourne and Central Crossing, Darby (3-11) and Westland (0-14). “I think we’ve turned a corner, but we won’t get to know that until Oct. 30 next year,” Palmer said. “We have kids who want to play because they have a heart and passion for the game. Anytime you have that, that’s what turns programs around.” Zimmerman averaged eight points a game and made 19 of 61 3-pointers (31.1 percent) and 25 of 36 free throws (69.4 percent). Senior guard Sarah Bechtel averaged six points, made 25 of 107 3-pointers (23.3 percent) and 12 of 16 free throws (75 percent). Senior post player Darby McMullen missed most of the season after sustaining a concussion in a 53-38 loss to Thomas Worthington on Dec. 3 and injuring her right ankle over winter break. “The toughest thing is walking in that locker room and knowing Sarah, Olivia and Darby aren’t going to be there (next

trict alternate. The Wolves were missing a returning district qualifier when Nico Shaut was unable to compete at 112 because of the lingering effects of a concussion. Freshman Austin Oberly, who had competed at 103 for much of the season, took Nico Shaut spot and finished 0-2. Lucky Shaut’s emergence at 103 had pushed Oberly out of that weight class. “Austin came to me and said he wanted to give 112 a try at the sectional,” Chism said. “He’s maybe 95 pounds soaking wet, so he was really at a disadvantage. He wasn’t happy just being there, though. He wanted to win, and that’s the attitude we’re trying to cultivate.” The top four in each weight class at district advance to state March 3-5 at Ohio State. •Thomas advanced sectional runners-up Make Coleman (135) and Andrew Shackelford (171) to district.

Upper Arlington 8-6 and fourthseeded Chris Suozzi of St. Charles 14-7. Shackelford, who got pinned in a final by Mount Vernon’s Jordan Montgomery, is 25-12 heading into his opening district match against Olentangy Liberty’s Ken Hamre. Shackelford reached a sectional final by winning his first two matches by a combined three points. He battled Montgomery to a 5-all tie with 30 seconds remaining before getting caught trying an upper-body throw. “We had an awfully tough sectional with (Hilliard) Davidson and Mount Vernon and Marysville in the field,” coach Mark Gundling said. “For being such a young team, we hung in there and did a good job. Both our finalists lost, but it was nice getting there.” Three other Cardinals, including district alternates Alex Good (130, fifth) and Max King (189, fifth), also placed. Noah Messerall finished sixth at 119. “We’re going to practice some (this) week with Kilbourne’s kids,” coach Gundling said. “Hopefully, we’ll get a few good workouts in and then go to Darby and see where things fall.”

Hartley boys capture sectional championship By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hartley High School boys bowling team will look to build on the first sectional title in program history when it competes in the district tournament on Saturday, Feb. 26, at HP Lanes. The top three teams and top three individuals not on a qualifying team advance to the state tournament, which will be at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl. The boys will compete March 5 and the girls will compete March 4. Hartley won the sectional championship on Feb. 18 at Eastland Lanes with a score of 4,231, ahead of runnerup Westerville South (4,174). Also qualifying for district from the sectional were Groveport (4,052), Brookhaven (3,996), Whitehall (3,830) and Granville (3,751). The top six teams and top six individuals not on a qualifying team from each of the three sectionals advanced to district. “We’ve been bowling pretty good all year, so I was pretty confident,” Hartley coach Dennis Backus said. “I told the guys that they are ready to take it to the next level. We’ve always been just good enough to get to the next round, but I told them I want to win this sectional. I told them they were ready to do it.”

Senior Nick Owens led Hartley with a 681 series and sophomore William Ball had a 586. Hartley won the Central Ohio High School Bowling Conference-Central Division at 13-0 and finished the regular season 16-0 overall. Last season, the Hawks reached the state tournament, finishing 12th behind champion Springfield Kenton Ridge. “It would be great,” Backus said of the possibility of earning another state berth. “It would mean a lot to the school.” Qualifying individually for district from the Eastland sectional were Northland’s Trent Ranson (632), Buckeye Valley’s Michael Davenport (610), Worthington Christian’s Ben Smith (593), Teays Valley’s Nick Evans (585), Delaware’s Ray Getz (584) and Independence’s Lamont Venable (582). At the sectional at Wayne Webb’s, Jonathan Alder (4,056) finished first, with Circleville (3,922), Big Walnut (3,881), Westerville Central (3,834), Gahanna (3,759) and Hilliard Bradley (3,719) also advancing to district. Qualifying individually for district were Walnut Ridge’s Wayne Russell (648), Pickerington North’s Brittany Beeghley (632), Newark’s Jon Sears (612), Chillicothe Unioto’s Dallas John-

son (612), Walnut Ridge’s Brandon Dye (585) and Hilliard Davidson’s Jacob Costin (582). Beeghley is competing with boys because North does not have a girls team. At the Tiki Lanes sectional, Utica (4,013) finished first, with Zanesville Maysville (3,992), Zanesville (3,866), Mount Gilead (3,808), Lancaster (3,695) and Marion Elgin (3,640) also advancing. The individual qualifiers were Williamsport Westfall’s Anthony Martin (656), Gilead Christian’s Jason Zeigler (643), Logan’s Alex Erb (615), Chillicothe Huntington’s Anthony Broughton (611), Worthington Kilbourne’s Cort Wilson (608) and Watterson’s Clark Sabula (602). •While the Westerville Central girls team successfully defended its sectional title at Wayne Webb’s, Briggs was celebrating its first district berth in its three-year history. The Warhawks won the sectional with a score of 3,574, followed by Olentangy Liberty (3,243), Gahanna (3,232), Cardington (3,132), Groveport (2,979) and Briggs (2,903). Central, which finished second to Youngstown Boardman at state last season after losing 3-1 in the best-of-five final, has its sights set on putting together another successful postseason.

“The regular season is all about getting ready for the postseason, because this is where you get everything you worked for,” Central coach Julie Wells said. “I think this team is ready. It’s hard work out there, but we still came in first and by a significant number. The conditions were that you’re not going to score a lot, but you just have to score more than everybody that’s here.” Liberty coach Linda Ridolfo also hopes for a strong postseason, as the Patriots seek their first state tournament berth. “The goal was to get out of the sectional,” Ridolfo said. “Westerville Central is an excellent team. You obviously want to bowl with the better bowlers.” Briggs went 8-3 in the COHSBCSouth and 10-6 overall in the regular season. “We have a good group of girls and they’re young,” Bruins coach Mario Jackson said. “There isn’t a senior on the team and we’re trying to build the program to go further each year. We’re getting a head start on it this year.” Qualifying individually for the sectional were Thomas Worthington’s Maggie Taylor (511), Olentangy Orange’s Rachel Bartram (499), Circleville’s Macie Sawyer (475), Orange’s Kaitlin Milburn (466), Bradley’s Alicia Wolfe (455) and Watterson’s Alexa

BOYS Continued from page B1 Once we fell behind, we started rushing our shots to try to get back in it, and it didn’t work.” The Cardinals extended their lead to 45-24 by the end of the third quarter, and their advantage never dipped below 20 points in the fourth quarter. “I’m pleased that we didn’t let up defensively once we got the lead,” Thomas coach Bob Miller said. “We scrambled a lot defensively, meaning we had someone cover for their teammate when their teammate got beat on a play. We also handled it well when they switched from manto-man defense to a trap and some different zones in the second half.” The winner of the ThomasBriggs game plays third-seeded Upper Arlington in the second round on Friday, Feb. 25, at Hilliard Bradley. UA lost to Dublin Coffman 5549 in overtime on Feb. 18 to drop to 19-1 overall but still shared the OCC-Central title with Coffman with a 13-1 league mark. Thomas finished third in the league at 95, followed by Hilliard Davidson (7-7), Hilliard Darby (5-9), Kilbourne (5-9), Central Crossing (2-12) and Westland (2-12). UA swept the Cardinals in league play this season, winning 65-39 at home on Dec. 7 and 4543 at Thomas on Jan. 21. The Golden Bears are led by 5-foot-11 senior guard Brian Sul-

SWIM Continued from page B1 placing sixth (1:40.78) at district. The Thomas boys team scored 161 points at district to place fourth behind UA (432.5), St. Charles (347.5) and New Albany (197.5). Sam Reeder broke the program record in the 50 free by placing second at district in 21.27. He is seeded seventh at state after eclipsing the previous record of 21.5, set by David Greenlee in 1985. Reeder also is seeded seventh at state in the 100 free after placing second at district in 46.82. “Ever since my sophomore year, I really wanted to be No. 1 in that event,” Reeder said. “Who doesn’t want to be No. 1? Hopefully, I can go even faster at the state meet.” Also qualifying for state for the boys team was the 200 free relay of Jesus Caraballo, Trenton Harper, Phil Mueller and Reeder, the 400 free relay of Edgar Caraballo, Adam Wolf, Reeder and Mueller, and the 200 medley relay of Harper, Matt Reed, Edgar Caraballo and Jesus Caraballo. At district, the 200 free relay placed third (1:28.25) and the 400 free relay (3:16.84) and 200 medley relay (1:40.21) both placed fourth. •Qualifying for state for the Kilbourne boys team were junior Hunter Atha in diving and junior Keeler Callahan in the 200 free. Atha placed second at district with 406.3 points behind Dublin Jerome’s Jacob Kasper (431) and is seeded 13th at state.

Gainer (451). At the Eastland sectional, Westerville South finished first (3,531), with Buckeye Valley (3,486), Whitehall (3,373), Delaware (3,194), Newark (3,177) and Sparta Highland (3,135) also advancing. “We figured coming in that we would be one of the top six,” South coach Jamie West said. “Our goal was to get to the next level, and they bowled pretty well.” Qualifying individually from the sectional were Chillicothe’s Summer Finley (584), Ready’s Allison Lichwa (583), Northland’s Bradishia Foster (516), Pickerington Central’s Sarah Grim (492), Brookhaven’s Maddison Morris (470) and Beechcroft’s Nellie Jones (464). At the Tiki Lanes sectional, Zanesville (3,559) was first, with New Lexington (3,460), Maysville (3,454), Mount Gilead (3,434), Fisher Catholic (3,416) and Elgin (3,273) also advancing. The individual qualifiers were Jonathan Alder’s Ashley Thomas (543), Chillicothe Zane Trace’s Sarah Endres (532), Logan’s Christi Castle (523), Logan Elm’s Tiffanie Harmon (508), Utica’s Jenny Bricker (499) and Westerville North’s Megan Patterson (491). www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

that we can be extremely competitive with them if we defend well like we did in the second game,” Miller said. “That’s the key, because we win games with defense.” Considering that UA’s tallest regular varsity players are senior post players Wes Richter (6-foot5), A.J. Norman (6-4) and Chris Watson (6-4), Hill said the Cardinals will try to pass the ball inside to Cowgill (6-10) and Herbst (6-8). “We’re going to throw it down low to our two bigs to take advantage of our size,” Hill said. The Wolves, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back with a strong tournament run after ending their regular season with three consecutive losses. Kilbourne opened the postseason against Newark on Feb. 23. The winner plays eighth-seeded New Albany on Saturday, Feb. 26, at Heath. New Albany defeated Mount Vernon 46-38 on Feb. 18 to improve to 16-4, as senior guard Travon Bodrick scored 11 points and senior forward Nick Sosh scored 10. “There’s no doubt that we can win in the tournament if we come out and play well,” Souder said. “We’ve got to make sure we take quality shots, and we’ve got to continue to play good defense, like we have most of the year.”
