Many new faces expected in city roles By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers By this time next year, Marysville residents could potentially see seven new faces in its legislating body and city administration. In the past few weeks, city administrator Jillian Froment and mayor Chris
Schmenk both announced they were taking new jobs with the state — Froment with the Ohio Department of Insurance and Schmenk with the Ohio Department of Development. Froment has already begun her new position, while the mayor has said she will stay on in Marysville for the next couple of months. With the city’s charter stating that the
administrator is to be appointed by the mayor with the approval of city council, Schmenk has said that she and a committee of public and private sector county residents will interview candidates for that position in the coming weeks. A deadline of March 31 has been set to receive applications for the position, which pays $90,000 to $115,000.
Schmenk said she will stay on as mayor until April or May. The city charter states that when the mayor resigns, the council president shall succeed to the office. Council president John Gore said last week that he is working with city law director Tim Aslaner and county prosecutor David Phillips to determine what course of action should be taken.
When Gore is sworn in as Marysville’s mayor when Schmenk leaves office, the charter states that his at-large seat on the council shall be deemed vacated and replaced. “We will have to appoint a new council member to fill John Gore’s position,” See MANY NEW FACES, page A4

Marysville Mayor Chris Schmenk announced last week that she will be leaving office sometime in the next two months. ThisWeek Marysville sat down with her last week to discuss her thoughts on the city, its past and future. The following are excerpts from that conversation. ThisWeek: This has been your first experience with public office. What has it been like to be mayor of your home town? Schmenk: What has been really fun has been to see the blend of the ‘old guard’ in Marysville – I’m kind of the old guard, growing up in Marysville – and then the new residents moving here from other places and are pretty recent, who may not know a lot of others in the community. It’s been neat to see that mix, because everyone has great ideas. I think what I’ve been really fortunate to have is the support of those who have been here – they knew my mom and dad and family, so I think they had that level of trust with me. They knew what I was about, and that has been something I’ve felt fortunate about. And with the newer residents it’s been fun to get to know them, to hear their ideas, I know that my husband and I lived in different parts of Columbus for the first 12 years of our marriage, and when we moved back I know we brought ideas with us, and I see a lot of the new residents doing that as well. Marysville gets stronger and better when people give those suggestions. Chris Schmenk

Marysville City Council President John Gore is prepared to succeed Chris Schmenk as the city’s next mayor. With Schmenk leaving to accept a position with the Ohio Department of Development, the city charter states that the city council president shall succeed to the office. John Gore said Schmenk Gore has built a strong framework for her successors to follow. “Mayor Schmenk has included me in a lot of the ongoing business of the city, and I see continuing what she started,” Gore said. “Chris has laid a great groundwork, and a lot of that has been due to her willingness to work closely with the city council.” Gore, who also works as director of the Union County Department of Job & Family Services (JFS), said he does not think taking over as mayor of Marysville would necessitate his resignation from the county position. Marysville’s charter sets the position of mayor as a part-time position, and explicitly says that the mayor may have other employment and shall perform mayoral duties at the hours of the mayor’s choice. “Right now, I don’t think it will affect my job with Job & Family Services, but I’m waiting for a decision from (Aslaner and Phillips),” Gore said. “I don’t see it as an issue – I’d plan on standard office hours (7 a.m. to 4 p.m.) at JFS and then be availSee GORE READY, page A4

UCHS director Steffen Baldwin (back) and an ASPCA volunteer helped to transfer one of the more than 360 dogs in a joint animal rescue on Feb. 22.
When more than 300 dogs were removed from the One More Chance Rescue in Clark County last week, Union County animal welfare officers and county officials were there to lend a hand. In his time working in the animal welfare field, Union County Humane Society director Steffen Baldwin said he’s never seen anything like the rescue that took place last week. “When you hear stories about rescues with this many animals involved, you think of puppy mills, but these were all relatively large dogs in spacious living conditions — there were just
too many,” Baldwin said. “They were found in hog barns, not much light, but covered in filth.” Altogether, 365 dogs were taken out of Clark County on Feb. 21, with Union County dog warden Mary Beth Hall and Baldwin assisting. With no local facilities readily available to house that many animals, Hall contacted Union County officials for help. For a short time, the animals were moved to the Richwood Fairgrounds on Tuesday evening. They have since been moved to a building on the Franklin County Fairgrounds in Hilliard. “I couldn’t just stand there and watch these dogs in the deplorable conditions,” Hall said. See DOG, page A4

up again at some point.
Schmenk: I think my philosophy has been, it’s good to have a couple big initiatives to be working on, so that the first year I took office we worked on the Comprehensive Plan, the Parks Plan, and we really put a financial plan into place. The second year the big initiative was trying to secure our finances, and that happened with the income tax increase. The big driver behind that was also to secure safety services. This year the big initiatives are to get those buildings built. The things we’ve been looking toward for next year are city employee wellness, an initiative the focuses on preventative wellness, to get employees to really look at exercise and eating habits, to be knowledgeable about their healthcare decisions.
ThisWeek : How do you think working on a state level will be different from your local experience? Schmenk: There’s a lot of, I’m sure, unknowns. I’ve not worked for the state before, so there is a whole different way of doing things. But as far as the particular work I’ll be doing, I feel like I have the background and experience to go in and hit the ground running as far as the legal work, and the economic development aspect. There’s a definite learning curve, but it’s the type of work I’m excited to get going on.
ThisWeek: Do you see Marysville revisiting the income tax issue in the next five or 10 years? Schmenk: I don’t think the city will, I think we put the half a percent increase in place with the hope that it would be enough money for the city to do what it needs to do for the next 30 or 40 years. That would be the hope. I think there are some residents who still wish we offered a commuter credit, and now I’ll also be a commuter. I’ve never been against it at all, I’ve seen the issue and recognized we just had not been able to find a way financially to do it, so that might be something that comes
ThisWeek: What impressions do you leave with from your time as mayor? Schmenk: I loved it – the thing I really hope as I leave public office is that more people in our community will get involved. We’ve seen that with the boards and the commissions we have a part in, people giving input on things like the police and fire buildings, and I really hope more people will get involved. We’ll have an open seat for mayor in November and several council seats, and I’d love to see a big field, and I’ll be on the sidelines cheering people on. It’s really fulfilling to be in public office, and I’ve really enjoyed the last three years. lrice@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Meeting set for 2011 Relay For Life ble. Volunteers are encouraging Union County residents to organize their teams early in the year, said Christine Mills, regional income development director for the ACS. “By organizing early, teams have more time to have fundraisers and team members have more time to raise funds for the American Cancer Society,” Mills said.

By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Organizers are looking for a few more Union County teams to join the ranks of those participating in the American Cancer Society’s national cancer research fundraiser. ACS volunteers will host an informational meeting next week to share details about this year’s Relay For Life in Marysville, according to Angela Gam-
Marysville High School stadium. During the 24-hour period, teams of eight to 15 people will set up campsites in the stadium and participate in games and ceremonies to raise money for cancer research. Teams raise money by securing sponsorships from county residents, selling luminaria to be used in the ceremony, and by having at least one team member walking on the stadium track at all times. “The event raises awareness about the
progress against cancer while also raising funds to fight the disease,” said Christina Gruenbaum, co-chair of the relay planning committee. “Individuals who are willing to give their time and energy to this exciting community event as a volunteer or a participant have made a commitment to fight back against cancer.” The informational meeting for captains and volunteers participating in Marysville’s Relay For Life is sched-
uled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 8, at the Union Rural Electric (URE) Cooperative, 15461 Route 36, Marysville. Anyone interested in this year’s Relay For Life is invited to attend.

Many new faces expected in city roles Continued from page A1 said councilman Mark Reams. “We typically advertise for interested people to apply. Council interviews candidates and will select someone to fill that position until the election in the fall. This will be similar to how we filled the position previously held by John Marshall, who stepped down from city council when he had to move out of state because of a change in his job.” “Hopefully the residents won’t even notice a change,” councilman Nevin Taylor said. “Ideally the three links of the chain will stay strong.” Councilwoman Tracy Richardson said the council will work to keep the transition smooth. “Our goal is to keep the momentum of government seamless and with minimal disruptions during the transition,” she said. “It means cooperation in the performance of our duties while still asking the tough questions to ensure we’re doing the right thing for the city.” Along with Gore’s council seat, all four seats representing Marysville’s wards will be up for election this November. The council members with expiring four-year terms, Tracy Richardson (Ward One), Daniel Fogt (Ward Two), Deborah Groat (Ward Three), and Nevin Taylor (Ward Four) have all told ThisWeek in the past month that they intend to run for re-election this year. Marysville residents wishing to run for mayor or city council have until Aug. 10 to register with the county board of elections. Groat told ThisWeek she believes the transition will be fairly smooth. “The transition time we are facing is challenging, but should prove seamless for the residents of the city.... I am personally sorry that the city needs to replace both Ms. Froment and Mayor Schmenk, but I think the coming processes will prove the intelligence of having a system in place, and working the system to make the transitions as seamlessly as possible,” Groat said.
Fogt echoed Groat’s confidence in the process. “(Schmenk) and (Froment) have served Marysville very well and they will be difficult to replace, but our goal is to have a smooth transition resulting in no major issues,” Fogt said. “We have a fine staff which is dedicated and experienced in their respective departments.” Councilman Henk Berbee said that although new faces will definitely be in the mayor and administrator positions, he believes Schmenk and Froment’s footprints will be visible in Marysville for at least five to seven years. “Both are strong leaders, and have made strong appointments to our departments,” Berbee said. “With us as the council, we’re in a leadership, a directional capacity – we don’t really run the city. It’s the appointed people, the people that are out doing snow removal, all of those positions that conduct the business of running the city, and they will continue on. I don’t think the citizens of Marysville will see any real difference in that respect.” With a potential musical chairs game taking place in Marysville government this year, Reams said new blood is always good for the city. “It seems that at each election, we see a new person or two elected to office. This has been good in bringing in fresh ideas and new perspectives to balance with the experience of those who are still serving,” he said. “If a resident is interesting in learning more about our city government, there are also several board and commissions. We have openings on those periodically as well and I would encourage any resident who might be interested to contact our clerk of council to discuss any current openings.” Reams, Groat, Berbee, Fogt and Richardson all told ThisWeek that they do not intend to run for mayor this year. Taylor said that if Gore decides to run for election, “I’ll be out there campaigning for him,” otherwise, Taylor will consider running for mayor himself. Gore declined to speculate on whether or not he would run in the fall.
Gore ready for dual challenge Continued from page A1 able for mayoral hours after that.” Almost exactly one year has passed since Gore took over as JFS director from Joseph Float, who retired last February. Gore’s background includes working in the local Marysville Bureau of Employment Services. In 1986, he transferred to the state
office, working as labor relations manager for the Bureau of Employment Services, before becoming field manager. His last position held was deputy director in the office of the director, where Gore worked with special projects, eligibility, and major projects in human resources. Gore’s at-large seat on city council has three years remain-
DOGS
COUNCIL
Continued from page A1
Continued from page A1
“The (Union County) commissioners were very supportive of our efforts, but suggested trying to find a more rural location for the noisy dogs. "The village of Richwood has always been supportive of animal rescue efforts on a daily basis, so I started contacting officials there. They welcomed us with open arms, ideas on how to solve problems and questions on how they could help more.” The first truck arrived at the Richwood Fairgrounds on Tuesday evening with 87 dogs. The decision was made to move the dogs closer to veterinary resources in Franklin County, Baldwin said. The animal removal was conducted by the Clark County Humane Society, EMA and Health Department, along with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and animal welfare officials from Union, Franklin, Logan, Madison and Montgomery counties. Baldwin said it took more than 30 volunteers helping out for 19 hours to secure each dog, check it for illnesses and vaccinate the animals. Of the 367 live animals found, only one dog had to be euthanized, he said. Baldwin said the animals were housed in individual crates for transportation, which was handled by the ASPCA’s Animal Cruelty Task Force. “It was an extremely efficient process — that’s what the ASPCA does,” Baldwin said. “I was just a worker to help out, but it was cool to be a part of it all.” Baldwin said an official investigation is being conducted. He added that while the sheer number of dogs found in one location was staggering, most of them were relatively well-behaved. “A lot of the dogs were very sweet, just unsocialized to people,” he said. “There was an older German shepherd that was missing his front right leg, and when I sat down in his pen, he hobbled over and put his head in my lap, his tail wagging. A lot of them were really sweet, just scared.” The ASPCA is continuing to provide ground support throughout the process, which is expected to last at least two weeks. Anyone interested in helping out or learning more should contact the Clark County Humane Society at www.clarkhumane.org.
ing the idea. “Without prayer, we deny ourselves as a collective body to receive the assistance of the Almighty in the performance of our duty,” Richardson wrote in the proposal. “I have to ask our city council, is it a prudent choice for us to deny the opportunity to receive assistance from God? We who truly seek to serve the good people of Marysville can choose to ask God to help us. I assert, that with the help of God, all things are possible and the welfare of our community is in the best of hands.” Council president John Gore offered an addendum to the request. “I’d like to see in the rules the actual invocation, and make it clear the only folks who can lead the invocation are the seven members of council. “ Gore explained his reasoning. “I’m afraid if we open it up, it could be very controversial,” he said. The idea has been through some discussion in the council’s public affairs committee. Committee chairwoman Deborah Groat read a dissenting statement. Groat said she would vote against the proposal based on five points. “No need exists to call upon God to be present or bless these proceedings. In my faith, God is omni-present, omniscient and allpowerful. To call upon God in an invocation is extraneous, and only offered for political posturing. Pretend prayer for political posturing is equally insulting to those of us
ing to the term. Once the transition to interim mayor has taken place, Gore’s replacement on city council will be selected by the other six council members until the general election in November. Gore would serve as interim mayor until the election. He declined to comment on whether or not he would run for mayor at that point.
who are deeply religious, and those of us for whom prayer is inconsequential. Point two – any prayer so generalized as to be acceptable to the atheists or non-faithful of our city would be an insult to those of us who are truly faithful. Any prayer so watered down that it could be offered before city council meeting and be appreciated by non-Christians of this city would be a denigration of that which I hold dear. To those who would accuse me as ‘has-been-done,’ of holding a parochial, small-town personal view of my faith, in a globally, religiously tolerant, diverse world, I would respond – thank you. To those would suggest that any prayer, however general and weak, is an improvement over no prayer at all, I would remind them that appearing to be religious does not improve one’s abilities to make decisions for this city.” Groat continued with more points, and said her response is available in writing for any who want it. In her closing comments, Richardson maintained that she believes allowing an invocation at the beginning of council sessions would be positive for the city. “There is a huge historical precedent we are seeking to maintain,” she said. “We – this group of seven – who are as individuals prayerful people, can benefit from gathering to invoke the assistance of God in the pursuit of our duties.” This issue will return to the council’s public affairs committee.

Marysville Roundup
Wrestling team sends eight to district By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Marysville High School wrestling coach Shawn Andrews believed his team had a chance to qualify at least 10 wrestlers for the Division I district tournament on Feb. 25-26 at Hilliard Darby. The Monarchs fell short of their coach’s goal but still turned in a strong effort by advancing eight from their home sectional on Feb. 19. “Realistically, I thought we had a shot to get all 14 guys placing, and eight to 10 to qualify (for district),” Andrews said. “We ended up with 12 placing, eight qualified and two alternates, so it’s about what I thought we were capable of.” The top four wrestlers in each weight class at district advanced to the three-day state tournament that concludes Saturday, March 5, at Ohio State. The Monarchs (219.5) finished second to Hilliard Davidson (239.5) at sectional. Freshman David Sparks at 103 pounds and sophomore Noah Forrider at 130 won their respective weight classes. Sparks defeated Darby’s Sam Valenti 9-2 in the sectional title match to improve to 32-6 before competing at district. Forrider, who qualified for state last season and finished eighth at 119, pinned Whetstone’s Marcus Moore in 2 minutes, 51 seconds in his title match at sectional to move to 34-7. By Mike Munden/ThisWeek Other district qualifiers for Marysville’s David Sparks controls Olentangy’s Andrew Torti on Jan. 27 during a 103-pound match. Sparks went 3-0 to win a title at the home sectional Feb. 19. Marysville were Chase Boyd (140, second at sectional), Tyler Miller (152, third), Austin Pfarr (171, third), Morgan Miller (189, third), Thomas Taylor (215, second) and Kyle Thirkfield (heavyweight, fourth). “We knew at the beginning of the year that we had a lot of young kids,” Andrews said. “We’ve wrestled all over to try to get ready for the end of the year, so it’s nice to have eight qualifiers and all eight of our qualifiers are underclassmen. “Our only senior (Lucas Parker) in the lineup was a district alternate (fifth at 119). We would have liked to get him in the top four as a senior because he’s worked really hard.

Commentary
Darby’s Parsley excited about final district tourney One of the most exciting events of the year unfolded on Feb. 26 at Worthington Kilbourne High School when the district gymnastics meet took place. It was a showcase for talented athletes who combine mental toughness with physical strength and agility in an attempt to qualify for the state meet March 4-5 at Hilliard Bradley. As usual, central Ohio is blessed with some outstanding young gymnasts like freshmen Colleen McHugh of Olentangy and Becca Jaskot of Upper Arlington. Sophomores Kate Miltko of DeSales and Amelia Holt of Centerburg have great credentials, as do junior standouts Erica Rodriguez of Worthington Kilbourne and Hannah Ruddle of Dublin Jerome. Then there is the class of the sen-
ior class, Meghan Parsley of Hilliard Darby, who tried to earn a second consecutive trip to state. “I really love competing at the district meet,” Parsley said. “I truly enjoy LARRY being with all the LARSON best gymnasts in our area and I truly enjoy watching them compete. I feel very confident going into this competition. “My mental attitude has certainly changed a lot since I was a freshman. I was always super hard on myself when I was younger and sometimes let mistakes get to me when I was competing. Now, I know you have to
be totally focused on what you are doing, be yourself and overcome the ups and downs that happen when you are performing. That whole attitude has simply come through maturity.” Discussing the physical side of gymnastics, Parsley said, “I really love the difficulty of gymnastics. The sport is so hard and requires so much hard work. My goal is always to achieve perfection and I know I may never achieve that, but the drive to reach my goals hooks me every time. “I have basically spent my entire life with this sport. My mom was a part owner of a gym when I was little and I started competitive gymnastics when I was in the fourth grade. I practice very, very hard and I believe I get the most out of my practices. I believe that, as a senior, I have the
right attitude toward my sport. You absolutely cannot be hesitant. You have to constantly be aggressive and push yourself to succeed in learning new skills. “My older sister, Amber, who is a gymnast at Ohio State, and my mom have been a great support system for me as I have developed. They both understand what I am going through and have constantly given me good advice. They have been great and the work ethic I have learned from them and from gymnastics has carried over into the other aspects of my life. Gymnastics has completely shaped my personality and has helped me with time management and organizational skills. Gymnastics has really made me who I am.” Looking at the district meet, Parsley said, “Wow, what competition there
will be out there on (Feb. 26). I think my experience and my age will help me a little in that seniors are usually prepared for the pressures involved with this meet where, as a freshman, you can be harder on yourself and maybe stress over errors too much. But for me at the district meet, it is going to be very important that I have fun and enjoy the experience. It is my last year in high school and it is, conceivably, my last gymnastics meet, so I want to hit all my events and get back to the state championship meet.” Parsley sounds like a winner. I’ll see you at a meet. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

MONARCHS lington (505) and the boys were 17th (31) behind first-place UA (432). Other program records were set by Hampton, Ellie Prinster, Lindsay Rossi and Mary Kallinicou in the 200 medley relay (1:54.43, 11th), and Hampton, Kallinicou, Prinster and Maggie Helfrich in the 200 free relay (1:43.15, 10th). For the boys, Quinn Mickelson finished 10th in the 100 back in 54.91 to break his program record of 57.45. “We were proud of the way the kids swam,” coach Ann Rausch said. “They dropped time and moved up in places in almost every event. Coming into the season, Miranda’s goal was to qualify for the state meet and she was able to accomplish that with a great effort.”
•The boys basketball team lost to Westerville North 62-35 in the first round of the Division I district tournament on Feb. 23 at Delaware. The Warriors led 36-19 at halftime. Steve Romesburg led the Monarchs with 13 points. “Our kids competed,” coach Ryan Grose said. “Give credit to Westerville North. They’re a very talented team. They make you have to play almost a perfect ballgame, especially in our situation right now. You can’t make any mistakes against them or they’re going to make you pay, and that’s what they did.” •The girls basketball team remained close against secondseeded Northland early on before the Vikings pulled away for a 49-27 win in the second round of the Division I district tournament on Feb. 23 at Westerville Central.
Marysville led 8-7 early in the second quarter before Northland built a 20-12 lead at halftime. The Vikings outscored the Monarchs 9-2 in the third quarter. “Obviously, Northland is a good basketball team,” coach Aric Tucker said. “They’re ranked (ninth) in the state. They’re 201 on the season with a loss to Africentric. Africentric isn’t too bad. I told the kids that I’m very proud of the way we played. “Everyone had positive energy. They were trying to do what we were asking them to do. Some nights the other team is just better. A turnover here, a call there, who knows, but I have to believe at halftime they had to be just a little bit worried about us.” Senior Jeni Jordan, playing in what turned out to be her final game for Marysville, led the Monarchs with 11 points. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Cougars take honors at basketball tournament Several athletes representing the Union County Cougars Special Olympics basketball team earned a number of honors recently at the state basketball tournament in Hilliard. The Cougars competed against about 175 other athletes from surrounding counties at the Feb. 12 event at Heritage Middle School in Hilliard, according to Union County Board of Developmental Disabilities (UCBDD) spokeswoman Carol Scheiderer. The competition involved three skills: hitting a target on the wall and catching the rebound; timed dribbling for a specified distance (using
only one hand and without traveling); and making a shot from six different spots within the key. Placing in their divisions were: Amber Blevins (Division 37, first); Angie Coburn (Division 50, first); Chad Cook (Division 55, second); Patsy Jones (Division 49, second); Dillon Oman (Division 26, third); Elaine Pope (Division 32, second); Kenny Scantlin (Division 57, first); and Chris Waters (Division 36, second).
