Brennan says he’ll seek re-election Despite cancer diagnosis, mayor will run for second term By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Bexley Mayor John Brennan announced Feb. 22, that he will be fighting two battles this year — and intends to win both. Brennan told Bexley City Council John Brennan
that he has been diagnosed with cancer and that he will seek a second term in office in November. “Last week I had gallbladder surgery and during the sur-
gery, they found some cancer in my body,” Brennan said. Brennan said he was scheduled to undergo more tests last week and would likely start treatment this week. I had a scan today. “I’m going to The James (Cancer Center) on Monday to consult with a
doctor there and probably within a week or so, I’ll be starting my first treatments,” he said. Brennan said the diagnosis led him to move up the announcement that he will seek re-election in November. “I was going to announce at the stateof-the-city on March 15 that I am seek-
ing a second term as mayor, but instead of waiting that long, I’d like to announce that tonight,” he said. “I’m going to fight this. I’m going to get through this. “I appreciate everybody’s prayers and support,” Brennan said. “This has See BRENNAN, page A3

Bravo! reaches $100,000 goal By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Bexley Education Foundation’s annual Bravo! fundraiser has met its $100,000 goal, according to event organizers. BEF executive director Charlene Morgan said at least 750 people attended this year’s event at DSW headquarters, 810 DSW Drive. While that number was slightly lower than last year’s estimated attendance of 800, Morgan said she was pleased with the turnout. “We had many, many new friends this year,” she said.

Frequent winter storms have kept city crews busy By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers It has been a busy winter for workers in the Bexley Service Department. Winter storms have required the use of more salt and more work for Bexley snow removal crews, according to service director Bill Harvey. To date, Bexley has used about 950 tons of salt to battle winter weather, Harvey said.
“We normally plan around 800 tons,” he said. “This is a little more than normal.” The Ohio Department of Transportation provides salt to the city. Bexley is paying about $59 per ton for salt, Harvey said. At this time last year, the city had used between 500 to 600 tons of salt and city officials were paying $57 a ton. Harvey said salt costs have been more than anticipated this year. He said service department per-
sonnel have made at least nine trips to pick up salt since the year started. The city has spent about $8,000 on overtime, Harvey said, but that wasn’t necessarily all for snow removal. That total also doesn’t count what the city spends on snow removal during the normal work day, information that isn’t tracked by the city. “That (overtime) is probably a little higher than we normally go,” he said. “We have had nine or

10 snow events this calendar year. Every time it snows, we have to send people out.” When budgeting for overtime city officials budget an average for snow removal. As the winter proceeds, it may be necessary to go back to city council, Harvey said. “We look at what it is on average and plan for that,” he said.

CSG grad working for Tiberi in Washington, D.C. By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Columbus School for Girls graduate Rebecca Kastan has always had an interest in politics. Kastan, the daughter of Holly and Brad Kastan of Bexley, was recently named a legislative correspondent for U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi (R-Genoa Township). “To be honest I’m not sure this is what I wanted,” she said. “(Politics) has always been a large interest of mine since I was young. I always read the paper, read about Pat and his career. I was lucky to be in a great place and there at the right time.” In April, she will take on the role of legislative assistant, following education, child welfare and judiciary issues. Kastan is a Bexley native who attended Vanderbilt University and received a degree in public policy in 2009. Prior to joining the Tiberi office, she worked for U.S. Sen. George Voinovich. In 2005, she graduated from Columbus School for Girls, where she enjoyed political science and history. She credits her passion for history to her teacher, Frank O’Grady, but is quick to point out that she had great support from all of her teachers. She started at Columbus School for Girls in the sixth grade, having attended Columbus Torah Academy through the fifth grade. Kastan said she enjoyed her eight months with Sen. Voinvoich’s office, but connecting with 11-million constituents is not the same as working with 800,000 people with Tiberi’s of-

fice. “I look forward to a closer relationship with my hometown,” she said. “There is no better person who represents his town and his district as Pat. I had the opportunity in the first two months to meet with many different agencies around Columbus and around the district. It has been quite an experience.” Her work includes meeting with constituents both in Washington and central Ohio. Kastan said she was surprised by how many different constituents and agencies from Ohio visit the Tiberi office in Washington. Trips to the central Ohio office are a real treat because she gets to stay with her family and catch up with her brothers. One is a junior at Bexley High School. “Being with my parents is always really special,” Kastan said. A trip home the week of Feb. 21 was extra special because her mom works as a consultant to
develop Ohio State University Medical Center’s new trauma center. Her mom had a big event at the Lincoln Theater on Feb. 25 and the trip was a bonus, she said. “I have always been close to my dad,” Kastan said. “He is the one who originally started my interest in history and politics by the books that he gave me when I was younger. He is always very enthused about what I’m doing.” The biggest challenge for Kastan is the abundance of different policies she is learning about. She said she has been blessed to work with Tiberi’s new legislative director, Kelli Briggs, who formerly held the role of legislative assistant. “It is a big role to fill,” she said. “I’m happy for her promotion. She’s been helping me all the way through.” Kastan volunteers with D.C. Central Kitchen, a Washington food bank, twice a month.

CSG, Actors’ Theatre to present play
Every time the city sends people out for a snow event more money is spent on salary and salt, Harvey said. While this season hasn’t seen as many deep snows, the snow events have been more frequent, he said. “We haven’t used the plows as much this year,” Harvey said. “We haven’t had the six- to eight-inch snows. It’s not more difficult, just more frequent.” The biggest challenge this winter has been the amount of ice, which causes more traffic accidents, Harvey said. “The roads are slippery,” he said. “It takes awhile to melt. If it’s real cold and (there is) ice, it’s hard for the salt to react to it.” Mayor John Brennan said residents were pleased with the snow removal efforts by the city. He said city staff members have received numerous phone calls regarding the snow removal and everyone seems to be happy. tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

BRENNAN 60th ANNIVERSARY SEASON
The Bexley studemt art show was a popular draw at the annual Bravo! Bexley Education Foundation fundraiser event at the DSW Home Office on Feb. 26.
BRAVO! Continued from page A1 Organizers were hoping to raise $100,000 through sponsorships, ticket sales and the silent auction. Morgan said while she doesn’t have a final total yet, the BEF will meet its net goal of $100,000. “I feel pretty confident,” she said. “That would give us a lot of grant money.” Proceeds from the event help the foundation provide grants for programs, including artists in the schools, dance classes and purchase of SMART Boards. Morgan said one goal of the event is to keep bringing in new families to see what the foundation does. Co-chairwoman Beth Sauer
said the highlight for her is the diverse mix of Bexley residents who attend. Sauer said 20 area restaurants participated and that those in attendance enjoyed the restaurant choices and food layout. Bravo! featured 153 silentauction items plus 60 pieces of children’s art that were auctioned off, Morgan said. “I think that the crowd shows an interest in not only the schools but being a part of Bexley,” she said. “I hear people say, ‘it is so great to see so many friends.’ It is great that Bexley has such commitment. That is what we work for … what we are all about.” tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

been an eye-opening experience. There are so many good people here in this community. It’s just amazing.” Brennan said he has been doing some work from home and put in a couple of hours a day last week at City Hall. Council President Jeff McClelland said the community is behind Brennan in his battle against cancer. “I know that I, as well as all the council members, have been bombarded with questions about how the mayor is doing and it’s because people care so much,” McClelland said. “You know that you have our full and complete support, collectively and individually. “This is great news to hear you announce your candidacy for a second term,” McClelland added. “You’re going to fight this thing. We will support you in your fight and we’re going to beat this thing.” Brennan was inducted into the Ohio Parks and Recreation Hall of Fame on Feb. 10. Brennan served as director of the Bexley Parks and Recreation Department from 1973 to 1984 and was director of Hilliard Parks and Recreation from 2000 to 2007. He worked as a sports program supervisor for Dublin
Parks and Recreation in 1997 and was the recreation and wellness director for the Columbus Jewish Community Center from 1994 to 1996. Brennan said he has a total of 23 years in parks and recreation and a total of 30 years of experience in city government. From 1984 to 1994 Brennan owned Brennan’s BroadNel Restaurant, sponsoring numerous sports teams as owner of the restaurant. Brennan earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Ohio State University, College of Education and a Master of Science from OSU in the School of Natural Resources. Brennan has served as president, vice president, newsletter editor and public relations chairman for the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association. He served on the Ethics and Awards committee. In 2003 Brennan was named the Ohio Parks and Recreation’s professional of the year. In addition to his professional career in recreation, Brennan has served as a coach for various youth leagues in Bexley coaching basketball, flag football and baseball. Brennan said he ran a successful baseball program in Bexley in the early 1970s.

Guest column
Bexley High studies helped experience in Costa Rica On a dark morning in early July, I stood in the Columbus airport, waiting to leave for my first trip by myself. I was nervous about changing planes, homesickness and my plans for the next two weeks. I knew this would be no ordinary trip. I was travelling to Costa Rica, where I would meet a group of 50 other students from the United States as part of Learning Programs International. The program’s focus was to immerse participants in Costa Rican culture, ideally improving their Spanish skills. I had no idea what to expect, but ultimately, my experience taught me more than I could have predicted about independence. However, I would not have had such a successful experience if not for the skills I had already gained through my studies at Bexley High School. My program paired each student with another and placed the two with a host family. We were expected to speak Spanish during conversations with our new caretakers. The language barrier was a huge challenge. I knew I was supposed to speak Spanish, but had assumed our host family would also know English. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Our main caretaker, a 60-yearold Costa Rican woman, knew no English. After the initial shock of the situation wore off, I realized that I had to employ everything I had ever learned about communicating in Spanish. However, this was easier said than done. In Spanish classes, I was used to forming sentences in my head before speaking, ensuring I was using correct grammar and vocabulary. But in Costa Rica, there wasn’t time to prepare. I couldn’t pause to decide whether the
given moment called for the subjunctive tense; I simply had to speak and hope I would be understood. ABBY I was very pleased, BOYLE though, with the Spanish I did know. There were only a few times when I had to use my dictionary because I had no idea what my host family was saying. Bexley’s Spanish program definitely prepared me for the trip. My first solo trip was difficult. I had to befriend the other kids in my group and keep track of my possessions. I had to remember everything I had been taught about Spanish, and also about safety, eating well and wearing sunscreen (this part didn’t go well: I ended up with sun poisoning). I learned more about
responsibility than I ever would have from travelling with my family. Bexley High School prepared me for this level of accountability. Since ninth grade, I have been held responsible for doing my work. Without the expectation that I could take care of myself, I don’t think I would have been ready to handle this trip without much guidance. On the last day of my trip, I stood in another airport, about to re-enter the United States. Thinking back to two weeks earlier, I realized how far I had come. I felt confident about my ability to communicate in Spanish and handle my belongings. I knew that the trip had taught me independence, a skill that will be important as I begin life by myself next year. Abby Boyle, a Bexley High School senior, is co-editor of the student newspaper, The Torch.

forming.’Ari Hest loves you. He just loves songwriting more. “There’s something about the feeling of coming up with a good melody or a good line,” Hest told The Beat. “That’s why I do what I do.” Hest, a Brooklyn-based pop singer-songwriter, has proven his adroitness in those other areas as well. In the midst of a heavy touring schedule, he self-produced his 2009 album Twelve Mondays. The project culminated a 2008 Web-based project in which he wrote, recorded and released a new song every Monday throughout the year, allowing fans to then select their 12 favorites for the album. “I made all the decisions,” Hest said. “So (for his new record, Sunset Over Hope Street), I gave up the reigns.” Specifically, to indie musician and producer Alex Wong. “I knew going in that this was going to be something I wasn’t used to, but it was very much an ‘I’d like to try this’ mentality,” Hest explained. “I knew going in I would be pushed. Alex uses a lot of strings and keyboard sounds – things I’m not used to. But I left much of the arranging to Alex. I worked on writing and re-writing songs.” While he consciously stepped back in making Sunset Over Hope Street, Hest admitted the making of this record tested his patience after the immediacy of his song-a-week project. “(Sunset) was recorded over a year, in between breaks while both Alex and myself were on tour,” Hest explained. “It was a long time in the making, with a lot of time to listen back to what we had done so far. I started to get slightly impatient, because the songs were done but not finished.” Patience is a theme throughout the album, although, Hest explained, in a more personal sense. “(The title track) is essentially about being patient waiting for something new to come along when you’re just getting out of something, and also feeling happy for the other person as they move on and you try to move on,” he said. The job, now that the album is complete and

tour forthcoming, was to “recreate the album with new arrangements for two people,” Hest said, explaining that, for this tour, he’s bringing along a drummer and that’s all. “The songs stand on their own,” Hest said. “They started out this way, so they don’t require a band.” The Columbus date is early in the tour. Hest said he’s looking forward to playing these new songs for audiences. “I hope everything resonates with people in some way,” he said, sounding like a person who cares about the songs the way every good songwriter should. ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Ari Hest, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.
Pickerington pizza shop is a real heavyweight champ The reputation of Catalfino’s pizza precedes it. For over a decade, Catalfino’s took first or second place in the Slice of Columbus competition. It scored several consecutive second places in the North American Pizza and Ice Cream Show. And Catalfino’s landed in the top 10 of the American Pizza Championship. Catalfino’s business also has a storied past going back to the mid-1970s. That was when the family that still owns and operates Catalfino’s co-opened their first one-oven, two-table shop on the East Side of Columbus. Decades of success, change, expansions and relocations eventually brought Catalfino’s to its newest spot in Pickerington a couple of years ago. This latest incarnation is a big and bright, nice but casual restaurant with a decidedly sporty at-

There’s lots of Buckeye stuff on the walls, plus tons of TVs beaming in games and races (it’s the kind of place where a NASCAR dad gets decked out in full stock-car regalia). Largely full of happy families, Catalfino’s also has a fully stocked bar detailed with a crazy parade of flattened beer caps. A crazy parade of “Man vs. Food”-type munchies can adorn Catalfino’s pizzas, salads, sandwiches and starters if you so desire. I so desired.

ican poutine, if you want, but do think of it. Also think of the Chicago Combo ($9), which the menu says is fully endorsed by The Fan’s Mike Ricordati. Here, a decent Italian beef sandwich increased its girth by the addition of a spicy sausage patty. Was it an authentic Windy City dish? Not really. Did it’s blend of “jus” (I would have liked more), griddled roast beef, spicy sausage and giardiniera (hot pickled veggies) prove Ricordati knew what he was talking about (at least in this case)?

Also terrific was the wellnamed Champion (ricotta, bacon, sausage, ham, pepperoni and much more).

Warma for the shawarma: Spit-roasted meats gaining popularity Behold the vertical rotisserie, a magnificent machine that is being used by a growing number of ethnic restaurants in Columbus. Spit-roasted options are the signature dishes at such newcomers as Lavash, Pita Hut, Los Guachos and Lashish, the Greek. The electric broiler rotates a composite of meat in front of bright-orange heating lamps, which melt away fat and leave the outside golden brown and glistening with moisture. The outer shell is then sliced off per order, and often placed in a pita or is part of a larger plate ensemble.
Most everyone is at least familiar with the gyro, brown cuts of herb-flecked meat cut from the large, twirling cylinder, and garnished with shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes and tzatziki inside a soft pita. While not new, a different brand of twirling, carnivorous delight is tempting local diners: the shawarma. Several local restaurants offer their own variations.

The place offers nine condiments, from hummus to cucumbers, for added flavor. “That’s the important part, always,” he said. The sauce also is a big part of the equation, says Recipe of the week Nasir Latif, owner of Lavash, also in Clintonville. He offers a simple but bold garlic sauce for his two shawarma options: a Lebanese-style using lamb and beef and a chicken selection. Latif said big beehive-shaped columns of meat pirouetting behind the counter help draw in customers. “It looks good,” he said. “It tastes good.” Shish Kebab Mediterranean Café and Café Istanbul use the rotisserie to make doner, the Turkish equivalent of gyro. Ilyas Batuk, chef and partner of Shish Kebab on Bethel Road, said the secret to excellent doner is using a good fat ratio – 25 percent – and forcefully compressing the ground beef and lamb mixture on the spit, which gives it a fine texture. “If you don’t have the fat, it’s no good,” he said. Customers seem to agree, as the doner is one of the top sellers in the restaurant. He makes 80 pounds each Friday and Saturday and another 50 pounds on Sunday, with smaller amounts during the rest of the week. Mike Polster, a partner of the Louis R.

St. Charles Roundup
Sanders adds to family’s wrestling legacy By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Ryan Sanders is no stranger to the state wrestling tournament even though the 215-pound senior at St. Charles Preparatory School has never competed at that level. But Sanders has watched his brothers, 2007 St. Charles graduate Jeremy Sanders and 2009 alumnus Kyle Sanders, both compete twice in the Division I state tournament. Now, he’ll get his turn Thursday, March 3, through Saturday, March 5, at Ohio State.
Ryan Sanders advanced by beating Dublin Scioto’s Wes King 4-2 in a semifinal at the Hilliard Darby district meet, which concluded Feb. 26. He then won the 215-pound title with an 8-2 decision over New Albany’s Matt Odierno in the final. “When you win a semifinal, you know you are going to state, but I wanted to make sure I finished out with a title,” said Sanders, who improved to 35-10 overall. “My goal is to go there and place. I won’t be satisfied with anything else.” Sanders has gone 8-0 in the postsea-
son and is unbeaten since losing in the CCL duals on Feb. 12 to Hartley’s Ryan Jackson, who also will be at state after winning a Division II district title on Feb. 26 at Columbus East. In the league meet at Watterson, Jackson beat Sanders 6-3 as the Cardinals’ standout dropped to 1-3 this season against his rival. “That was really tough because I wanted to beat him so badly, but it also got me ready for the postseason,” Sanders said. “I have been pushing myself in practice and have drilled and drilled with my brothers. They really have made me work much harder in practice.”
Coach Joe Moyer said Sanders also has changed his approach to matches. “Ryan has started wrestling like himself instead of trying to be like his brothers,” Moyer said. “Both of his brothers were takedown wrestlers, but he’s better at riding out his opponent. Once he gets the lead, he doesn’t give it up.” Sanders opens at state against Lorain senior Amon Willis (37-9). The winner faces Madison junior Josh Ransom (306) or Cincinnati Moeller freshman Chalmer Frueauf (35-12) in the second round. “My brothers tell me that even though
the surroundings are different, you step on the mat and wrestle at state just like anywhere else,” Sanders said. “You have to treat it just like it’s any other match.” The Cardinals were 25th (25 points) behind champion Olentangy Liberty (128.5) at district as 44 teams scored. St. Charles had three other competitors at district, but they didn’t advance to state. Junior Adam Suhr (21-21 overall) was 1-2 at 112, senior Chris Suozzi (24-15) was 0-2 at 135 and junior Lloyd Furuta (20-23) was 1-2 at 140. See CARDINALS, page B2

Unicorns reach district semifinal By CORY STEGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By defeating Newark Catholic 47-34 in the second round of the Division III district tournament Feb. 24, the Columbus School for Girls basketball team advanced to a district semifinal for the first time. “This means everything to us,” guard Enri Small said. “Everything we’ve worked for during the season paid off.” CSG was 11-11 before playing Mount Gilead — the alma mater of Unicorns coach Stephanie Jones — on March 1. The winner plays top-seeded Africentric or Grandview in a district final at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 5, at Olentangy Orange. Africentric improved to 19-2 with a 78-43 win over Heath in the second round of the tournament Feb. 22. That same day, Grandview defeated Fairbanks 44-40 in overtime in the second round to improve to 12-10. CSG did not have much trouble defeating Newark Catholic. The Green Wave scored the first four points before the Unicorns began a 19-0 run, including seven points by post player Ellen Haenszel. A key to the run was stout defense by the Unicorns, as Small and Rosie Connor each force two steals. Also during the run, Newark Catholic missed 15 consecutive field-goal attempts. CSG had built a 31-12 lead by halftime and would lead by as many as 19 points in the third quarter. Leading 43-25 entering the fourth quarter, the Unicorns were in complete control of the game when the Green Wave went to a full-court trap and started to double team. Though Newark Catholic forced a few turnovers, the Unicorns’ lead was too much to overcome. Small had 26 points and Haenszel scored nine. “Our defensive intensity has changed big-time,” Jones said. “We’re keeping people out of foul trouble, and we’re rebounding better, so we’re not giving teams a lot of second chances like we have all year.” •Ranndi Grubbs competed in three events for CSG at the Division II state swimming and diving championships Feb. 2425 at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. The junior’s highest finish came in the 100-yard butterfly, as she placed sixth in 57.96 seconds. The winner, Sarah Koucheki of Gates Mills Hawken, set a meet record with a time of 55.22. Grubbs finished 17th (53.5) in the 100 freestyle preliminaries, missing the final by one spot. She also teamed with Laura Hadley, Erin Smith and Meredith Swartz on the 200 free relay that finished 17th (1:42.57) in the preliminaries. CSG scored 13 points at state to tie Sidney Lehman Catholic for 34th as Hawken (334) won its 13th consecutive state title.

Mental approach helped boys By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The final minutes of its season finale were a microcosm of 2010-11 for the Bexley High School boys basketball team. Although Hamilton Township found its shooting stroke from 3-point range and the free-throw line during the second round of the Division II district tournament Feb. 25 at Grove City, the Lions still were within four points midway through the final quarter before losing 69-59. Although Bexley had nine fewer wins than a year ago and finished 11-11 overall, it was more evidence to coach Dave Gustin that he had a hardworking team. “(The Rangers) made some big shots when they had to and answered with a little more than we did,” Gustin said. “But this year has been more fun than I’ve had in a long time. It was a very fun year. All of the guys came ready every day. There were no problems; they’re all just good kids and good students.” The mental approach that Lions seniors Marcus Gustin, Josh Lake, Evan Porter, Jon Primes and Spencer Stanley displayed also is someBy Tim Norman/ThisWeek thing that Gustin believes has laid the groundBexley’s Amubie Sam-Agwor grabs a rebound in front of DeSales’ work for future success.

The Lions finished fifth in the MSL-Ohio Division at 6-8 behind co-champions Granville and Heath (11-3), Columbus Academy (10-4) and Newark Catholic (8-6), and ahead of Licking Valley and Whitehall (5-9) and Lakewood (0-14). “We’re fine (for next year),” coach Gustin said. “I think we’ve got some real good young kids that saw Jon Primes play.

Boys basketball team relying on strong defense By CORY STEGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Hartley High School boys basketball team is one win away from reaching a Division II district championship game. The top-seeded Hawks play Hamilton Township in a district semifinal at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 3, at the Fairgrounds Coliseum, with the winner advancing to a district final March 10 at the Fairgrounds against fifth-seeded Centennial or Watterson. See UNICORNS, page B3 “I told the guys, we played a
schedule that prepared us for whoever we’re going to play,” coach Randy Kortokrax said. “Now we just need to go out and get it done.” Hamilton Township is 10-11 entering the district semifinal. The Rangers opened the tournament with a 57-51 win over Olentangy on Feb. 22 and defeated Bexley 69-59 in the second round Feb. 25. The Rangers are led by guard Jacob Gifford and wing player Kameron Wright but do not have a deep roster. The Hawks could
use that to their advantage, as they regularly rotate players in at multiple positions. “They have good shooters, so one thing we’re going to have to focus on is our defense,” guard DeAvery Collins said of the Rangers. “Playing good defense is how we got this far.” The Hawks beat Centennial 62-48 on Jan. 29 and swept Watterson in CCL play, winning 3432 on Jan. 14 and 37-30 on Feb. 11.

•The swimming team finished 16th (52) behind champion Cincinnati St. Xavier (312) in the Division I state meet as 47 teams scored. “We had a rough meet,” coach Geoff Gear said. “We only had a handful of swims and we weren’t where we wanted to be. We didn’t finish up on a great note.” Senior Brian Willi led the Cardinals by finishing fifth in the 100-yard butterfly in 51.53 seconds. “That was a good swim for Brian,” Gear said. “Just for him to make it into the finals after not qualifying last year was good to see. It’s nice to see him on the podium after not making it last year.” Willi was happy to continue the St. Charles tradition in the 100 fly. “Last year, I was with (2010 graduate) Sandy Whitaker (who now competes at Minnesota) in the 100 fly. He got second last year and I wanted to follow in his footsteps,” Willi said. “It was my dream to get on the podium. I was happy I could do that.” Willi also competed on the 200 freestyle relay and the 200 medley relay. The 200 free relay also included Zach Poltor, Will Grodesky and Matt Brown and reached the podium by placing eighth (1:27.34). The 200 medley relay also had Nick McKinley, Orion Swanson and Poltor and finished 10th (1:37.39).
Below are the recent results for the St. Charles basketball and hockey teams: BASKETBALL Jan. 18 — Lost to Whetstone 5240 in opening round of Division I district tournament.

didn’t make them.” Senior Dan Stickel rolled St. Charles’ high score of 526 and finished in 43rd place, followed by junior Zak Stephenson (64th, 478). Junior Dezmond Brown scored 281 in two games and sophomore Tom Cianflona added 278 in two games. Freshman Noah Thomas (133), senior Josh Bruggeman (131), junior Eric Powell (111) and sophomore Darren DeLimond (93) all rolled one game. “Bowling is as much a mental as a physical game,” said coach Michael Warner, who completed his fourth season leading the program. “We had the scores during the season and were good enough physically to make it to district, but mentally we let it slide.” St. Charles finished 11-3 overall and second in the Central Ohio High School Bowling Conference-Central Division at 11-2 behind Hartley (140). The Cardinals have four seniors in Stickel (172.3 average), Bruggeman (158.4), Chad Marchese (131.5) and Kyle Ansley (126). St. Charles expects to return its top two bowlers in Stephenson (199.6) and Cianflona (187). Stephenson had the highest league game this season with a 266. Also expected back are DeLimond (152), Powell (151.7), Brown (147.9) and Thomas (146).
The 400 free relay of Poltor, Grodesky, Swanson and Hayden Birnbrich was 16th (3:15.47). Swanson was 18th (53.95) and Willi 19th (54.05) in the 100 backstroke. Swanson also was 17th (52.89) in the 100 fly.

C.T. Branin Natatorium feeling a lot better than when he arrived. Humphrey, the first boys swimmer from the school to compete at state since 2002, placed 12th in the 100-yard breaststroke (1 minute, 1.46 seconds). “Up until (the Feb. 24 preliminaries) I hadn’t been feeling too great,” Humphrey said. “I’ve heard 40 to 50 reported getting sick at the district meet. I’ve just loaded up on the cold medicine and tried to clear everything out. It’s just been an amazing experience being around all these great swimmers. To make it here in my senior year is a great feeling.” Humphrey’s performance gave the Lions a 46th-place finish with five points behind champion Hunting Valley University School (377). Humphrey won district Feb. 18 in 1:01.5. “He didn’t have a lot of expectations since he’s been battling that cold since the district meet,” coach Natalie Mossman said. “He was a little disappointed he didn’t make the championship heat, but he went into the consolation finals thinking he had nothing to lose.” The boys finished seventh (78) at the MSL meet Jan. 29 behind champion Granville (269) and followed by placing fifth (83) behind the Blue Aces (283) at the sectional at Columbus Academy on Feb. 12. They tied Liberty Union for 23rd (24) behind Granville (368) at district. The girls placed third (145) in the league, seventh (79) at sectional and 13th (74) at district. Granville scored 391 to win the conference meet and also captured sectional (204) and district (368) titles. Other seniors were Ropaki Gwynn, Micah Mueller and Adam Schleppi from the boys team and Anna Bauer, Claire Beckett, Georgia Sutter and Amanda Young from the girls team.

Junior D.J. Jones (130), who came within one win of advancing to state a year ago, went 0-2 at district to finish 31-7. Senior Chuck Sismanturk (135) went 0-2 to finish 26-20 and junior Derek Cain (152) went 0-2 to finish 32-10. Cain withdrew from his thirdplace match at sectional Feb. 19 because of chest pains but was cleared to compete at district. The Lions scored four points to tie New Concord John Glenn for 37th at district behind champion Olentangy (158.5), as 42 teams scored. Bexley took seventh (77.5) at sectional behind the champion Braves (292). “I’m extremely pleased with the way they’ve competed, as I always am,” first-year coach Shawn Straub said. “They’re a hardworking group of kids and they’ve given me effort all year long. I felt as though we potentially could get one or two athletes to the state tournament. The level of experience they had to (compete against was) very good.” In addition to Crane and Sismanturk, the Lions will lose senior Dan Doersam (125), a 2010 district qualifier who finished fifth at sectional. Others eligible to return along with Cain and Jones include junior Josh Gewirtz (140) and freshman Sam Shorr (103). •The seventh-seeded girls basketball team’s season ended with a 46-43 loss to eighth-seed-

Shelton averaged 14.6 points and 10.8 rebounds while making second-team all-district. Soga averaged 13 points and was honorable mention alldistrict. The top returnee will be junior point guard Bailey Breese, who averaged 9.4 points, three assists and three steals while making honorable mention alldistrict. Also eligible to return are juniors Emily Hart, Sara Prater and Ann Sharpe and sophomores Jill Clark and Lydia Lake. Prater didn’t play in the tournament game because of an ankle injury and Clark went down with a hand injury in the first quarter against the Stallions.

They went 10-12 a season ago. “We return our point guard and we played a few other underclassmen who will be back,” said Jim Strode, who completed his second season as coach. “A three-game win increase is always good. It’s important that our kids get in the gym during the offseason. We’ve got some talent coming up that should help us.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Ohio High School Football Coaches Association will hold a combine for freshman, sophomore and junior players on March 20 at SuperKick, 409 Orange Point Drive in Lewis Center.
Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Hartley bowling and wrestling teams: BOWLING Feb. 26 — Boys: Finished seventh (3,835) at district tournament at HP Lanes behind champion Westerville Central (4,168).

The Hawks went on a 22-0 run in the third quarter and led 41-8 at the start of the fourth quarter. Collins led Hartley with 16 points, and Eric Siefert and Kendal Sherrod scored nine apiece. “We didn’t expect to see a zone. We thought they were going to do a lot of man defense,” Collins said. “Our coaches helped us out, and I think we did a good job of adjusting on the fly.” •Senior Evan Jackson is the only member of the wrestling team to advance to the Division II state tournament, which begins Thursday, March 3 and concludes Saturday, March 5 at Ohio State. Jackson competes at 215 pounds and enters the tournament with a 33-5 record. His first-round match is against Wauseon’s Zane Krall, who is 34-11. Jackson placed first in the district tournament Feb. 25-26 at Columbus East. He defeated Licking Valley’s Chase Redman 8-1 in the championship match. Jarrod Zang (160) was the only other Hartley wrestler to place at district, defeating Sparta Highland’s Cody Kucera 115 to place fifth. The Hawks scored 51 points to finish 14th behind champion Olentangy (158.5). •Both the swimming and diving teams had a lot of good performances at the Division II state meet Feb. 23-25 at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. The girls team scored 86 points to finish seventh behind champion Gates Mills Hawken (334), which won its 13th consecutive state title and 20th overall.

The Greater Bexley Clean-Up will be held on April 9 from 9 a.m. to noon. Volunteers will meet at the Gateway South parking lot (Main Street and Parkview). Residents, local businesses, organizations and school groups are encouraged to pitch-in and help. Volunteers will be provided with gloves and bags for litter pick-up. Anyone interested in helping Friends of Alum Creek and Tributaries with the removal of invasive plants along Alum Creek should come equipped with longhandled shovels or loppers. Complimentary food and live music will be provided for volunteers at Pump House Park. The goal of the annual event is to clean-up key areas in and around the city as well as provide an opportunity for residents to recycle hard to dispose of items such as computers, monitors, home electronics, microwaves, hangers and outdoor furniture, for free. Residents will also be able to have documents and records shredded on the spot and recycle magazines and telephone books. The cleanup team is also partnering with Goodwill Columbus to accept clothing donations on site. Residents, businesses or other organizations interested in assembling a team and adopting a site in advance should contact Kristin Harpe at kristinharpe@sbcglobal.net.
