Conditional use OK’d at Dublin Rd. site By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Marble Cliff Village Council approved an ordinance at a special meeting Feb. 25 granting a conditional use permit for the property at 1450 Dublin Road. The conditional use permit was sought by Matthew Mnich, the owner of the property. Council’s approval of the permit allows the following uses of the property: Maintenance and repair of vehicles belonging to others unaffiliated with the property owner.
terials such as static retail displays, mobile event units and vehicles with attention-getting graphics. The ordinance was introduced and discussed at council’s regular meeting on Feb. 21, but the vote was tabled until Friday to allow for the drafting of an amendment to the original legislation. The amendment states the conditional use permit will remain in effect as long as the property is owned by Mnich and/or Onsite sale of equipment and vehi- members of his family, or by a business cles. in which the Mnich family has a major Onsite design, fabrication and con- ity interest. struction of high visibility marketing maIt also states the permit will expire by
its own terms upon the sale or transfer of the property to an entity unrelated and unaffiliated with Mnich, his family or a business in which the Mnichs have majority interest. At the Feb. 21 meeting, Mnich told council that his family owns the adjacent North American Broadcasting Company radio stations as well as the warehouse building at 1450 Dublin Road. Vehicle maintenance and repair and design, construction and fabrication of marketing materials have been done onsite on behalf of the radio stations, he said.

Trip to Egypt leads to encounter with history
Longtime ROLLING ALONG patron leaves library $5,000 bequest Although she lived nearly all her adult life in Upper Arlington, Barbara Gilchrist Boggs always referred to the Grandview Heights Public Library as “my library.” When she and her husband, John, returned from their winter stays in Florida, “she’d walk in with a big smile and say how nice it was to be back in ‘my library,’” Grandview library staff member Klova Morris recalled. “She definitely loved this library,” John Boggs said. “It Barbara was a special Gilchrist Boggs place to her.” Barbara Boggs, who died last September at the age of 81, left a $5,000 bequest to the library. About $3,000 will be used for the library to purchase a second Early Literacy Station, a computer workstation that features more than 45 educational software titles for children ages 2-10. The remaining money will go to the library’s endowment fund. “It’s perfect” that his wife’s financial gift will be used to help benefit youngsters, Boggs said. Barbara Boggs was a regular visitor to the library as a Grandview student and she taught school in Upper Arlington for 27 years, he said. Students were always at the forefront of her concern, Boggs said. She continued to be a regular patron at the Grandview Library even when
Over time, the operations have evolved so that such work as well as the sale of equipment and vehicles have been done for other entities than the radio stations, Mnich said. Mnich applied for the conditional use permit “to try to come in to compliance with what our ordinance currently says we would like to accomplish with that property,” Mayor Kent Studebaker said. Similar operations are conducted at surrounding properties, Mnich said. “I certainly regret not coming before

Grandview Heights Public Library public relations associate Connie Frecker expected a dramatic experience when she made a recent journey to Egypt. But the Upper Arlington resident didn’t expect to find herself in the middle of a country undergoing a revolution. Frecker and her husband, George, were among a group of mostly Americans participating in a trip organized by Quest Travel, an Egypt-based company. “It was a trip that was spiritual in nature,” she said. The journey was designed to provide its participants with a chance to explore landmarks of the country and consider what meaning or message may lie behind their symbols and hieroglyphics. “The point of the trip was to explore Egypt’s past,” Frecker said, but modern Egypt and the changes it is undergoing became an unexpected focus of the trek. “We were beginning to get an inkling that something was wrong” on Jan. 25 as the group

were in New York preparing to leave for Egypt, she said. On that day, known as the Day of Revolt, protests occurred throughout Egypt. “It was ironic that while many Americans and westerners were trying like crazy to get out of Egypt, we were coming into the country,” Frecker said. And “we never felt unsafe” during the trip, she said. “It wasn’t the way it was reported or represented by what you saw on TV. “The Egyptians love Americans,” Frecker said. “Everywhere we went, while their country was undergoing this revolution, we See EGYPT, page A4
Registration for parks programs begins Tuesday By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Resident registration for the Grandview Parks and Recreation department’s spring and summer programs will begin on March 8. The spring/summer program guide has been sent to area homes, and copies are also available at the parks office, 1515 Goodale Blvd., and at the Grandview Heights Public Library, 1685 W. First Ave. “We’ve got a lot of new programs we’re excited to be offering this year,” recreation supervisor Marta
Durban said. “We try to go with what seems to be in demand at the time.” The traditional events will include the Easter Egg Hunt on April 23; the Memorial Day Service, May 26; Memorial Day Parade and pool opening, May 28; the Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic, June 26; Lazy Daze of Summer Crafts Festival, July 23; the Mayor’s Cook-out, Aug. 14; and the Ox Roast, Sept. 8-10. The classic cycling will be held on one day this year, and the street party will be held on the same day as the race instead of the night before, Durban
said. A new program, “Kids at Wallace Gardens,” will give youngsters the chance to try out their green thumbs. “We’ll set aside a small plot of land the kids will be able to work on together as a team” with the help of local mom and organic gardener Kathy Andres, Durban said. A minimum of eight participants is required for the program, which will meet Saturday mornings, See PARKS, page A2

PTO Fun Fair set for Saturday PARKS Raising fun, not fundraising, is the major goal of the annual Fun Fair. This year’s event, sponsored by the Grandview K-3 and 4-8 PTOs, will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 5, in the Edison Intermediate/Middle School commons. “In recent years, we’ve been able to make a small profit from the Fun Fair because we have more volunteers helping out, more baskets and items to auction or raffle off and because more people attend,” Fun Fair co-chair Denise Meyer said. “But it’s really meant to be a fun family event for the end of the winter,” she said. “It’s a chance to maybe see some of your neighbors you haven’t seen for a while” during the hibernation of the cold weather months. The Fun Fair includes games, crafts, food, baked goods, a raffle and silent auction. “The games cost 10 cents a ticket,” Meyer said. “What else can you get for ten cents these
days?” Raffle tickets will cost 25 cents each, she said. All of the baskets and items for the raffle and auction are donated by residents and businesses in the Grandview/Marble Cliff community, Meyer said. Past craft activities have included sand art and spin art, she said. The Fun Fair is staffed by more than 100 volunteers, Meyer said. “We couldn’t do it without our volunteers, and we’re always looking for more people to help out,” she said. There are two volunteer shifts, from 10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Anyone interested in volunteering can email Meyer at degiesecke@aol.com. After serving on the Fun Fair committee for 14 years, Meyer said she is planning to step aside as chair after this year. “It’s grown so much over the years,” she said. “People really look forward to it because it’s such a great family activity. Everyone always has a good time at the Fun Fair.”

you prior to this,” he said. “This was an evolutionary process. It was not the creation of a new entity on our part.” Only one or two vehicles at a time are displayed for sale, Mnich said. There is no desire to create a “used car lot” on the property. “We’re not really set up for high traffic and high volume,” he said. “We don’t have the staff, we don’t have the space and we don’t have the desire.” Village fiscal officer Cindy McKay told council that all surrounding property owners have been notified of the conditional use permit “and we have not heard a peep.” afroman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
they moved from Grandview in 1955, he said. Even through its expansions and technological advancements, the library remained the same kind of friendly, hometown centerpiece she knew as a girl, Boggs said. “I think she loved the caring nature of the staff,” he said. Staff members knew the kind of books — romance novels, especially — that she enjoyed and would automatically place her name on the reserve list when they arrived, Boggs said. “When I was working at the circulation desk and John and Barbara would come around the corner, I was always delighted to see them,” Morris said. “She was a person who was always happy
Continued from page A1 April 23 through Aug. 27. The cost is $55 and the program is open to Grandview and Marble Cliff residents only. After the department’s success with adult kickball leagues, a youth kickball league will get started this year, Durban said. Games will be held at 11:30 a.m. beginning June 6-7 at McKinley Field. High schoolers will play on Monday nights and middle school students (grades 5-8) will play on Tuesdays. Teams should sign up by May 31 at the parks office. Those who sign up as individuals will be placed on a team. A team must have six to 12 players. The cost is $20 per team and $5 for an individual. Youngsters ages 8 to 18 will be able to take a group trip to a Columbus Clippers game on their bikes through the new Bikes and Baseball program. The Grandview contingent will attend the June 9 andAug. 11 Clippers games. Kids and adult volunteer supervisors will depart the Grandview Center at 11:30 a.m. and ride their bikes for the 12:05 p.m. first pitch. The cost is $10 for residents and $20 for non-residents and includes game ticket and supervision. The Land and Water Challenge on Saturday, Aug. 27, will test youngsters’endurance in a youth biathlon. Participants in boys and girls divisions, ages 8-11, 12-15 and 16-18, will compete in the combination running and swimming event. The cost for the program is $20 for residents and $35 for non-residents.

She spread that happiness around.” “She always put people first,” her husband said. “She was a people person.” Boggs supported the library in so many ways, whether it was assisting with levy campaigns or purchasing remembrance tree ornaments in honor of library staff members, library public relations associate Connie Frecker said. The bequest gift “is a strong, silent, simple way” to demonstrate that support one more time, she said. A plaque recognizing her contribution will be engraved on the second Early Literacy Station the library is purchasing, Frecker said. “It’s nice to know she’s still doing something for the students,” John Boggs said.
Center. Following a schedule of rehearsals, the play will be performed July 30 and 31. “This is a great program because it’s free of charge,” Durban said. “People of all ages can take part and learn how a play is produced.” A new program for adults, a women’s book club, began earlier this week at the Grandview Center. Barb Parmelee leads the group, which meets at 2 p.m. the first Tuesday of each month. Another new group, the women’s sociable singles group, meets at 11 a.m. the first Thursday of each month under the lead-

EGYPT Continued from page A1 were given smiles and thumbs up and peace signs. “I think they were so proud and excited about having the chance to have a say in their own country’s future,” she said. It seemed the young people of Egypt were the catalysts for the movement that led to the resignation of longtime president Hosni Mubarak, Frecker said, but she sensed it was people like the middle-aged mother she met and talked to who may have been the force that pushed things to a point where real change was possible. “She said she could appreciate some of the things that Mubarak had done for her country over the
years, but she recognized that it was time for him to go,” she said. The woman could be thought of as being comparable to Americans who represent “middle America,” Frecker said. The Quest Travel group were in Cairo when Mubarak resigned on Feb. 11 and the next day they were able to visit Tahrir Square where so much history had been made. “A lot of people had left by then, a lot of the tents were gone, but there were still a lot of people,” Frecker said. “The atmosphere was like the Fourth of July. Everyone was celebrating and so happy. It was history happening right before our eyes. I’ll never forget it.”

Moment in Time In 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower established the President’s Council on Youth Fitness to address what he saw as “physical weakness of American youth” as compared with kids from Europe. Students received badges or pins for completing different exercises in the fitness test. One of the tests, which scared many 1950s and ’60s children, was the rope climb. An 18-foot long, 2-inch thick rope hung from the rafters in many gyms around the country, and kids had to climb to the top while being timed. In this 1962 photo, Grandview Heights student Ronnie Tyne climbs the rope, supervised by student teacher John Havlicek. Havlicek was a member of the sensational Ohio State basketball team that won the 1960 national championship, and he went on to a stellar career with the Boston Celtics in the NBA. He was known to have brought his OSU teammates to Grandview to talk with the GHHS basketball team as well, and he was the featured speaker at the 1962 Grandview homecoming ceremony.

Senate Bill 5 won’t solve Ohio’s problem To the editor: Ohio faces a budget shortfall of about $8-billion. Given this fact, one might expect that the governor and the legislature would try to find ways to fill this gap. Instead, the Ohio Senate is considering Senate Bill 5. If you want to know what impact the bill would have on the immediate budget, the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Shannon Jones (RSpringboro), introduced the bill by providing the following assessment: “I am not doing this because I think it’s the magic bullet that will solve Ohio’s immediate budget problems. It will not … although I do think it will make a significant difference in future budgets — which is an absolutely necessity.” So there it is: No impact on our budget, which must be balanced by the end of the year. Does anyone in the Republican leadership know where $8-billion will come from? We’re still waiting for the answer. In the meantime, I would like to thank the police officers who have responded to traffic incidents that I’ve been involved in, the city service employees who pick up the trash every week regardless of the weather, and the public school teachers who helped make me the person I am today. None of them ever asked if it were fair to pro-

Stivers’ focus: cut spending in Washington By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Serving in the National Guard may have instilled a spartan lifestyle in freshman Congressman Steve Stivers. Ohio’s Republican representative from the 15th district still sleeps on an air mattress in his office while in Washington, he told ThisWeek. Less than 60 days into his term, the former state senator and U.S. Army National Guard lieutenant colonel said he has much work ahead. “My battle is to cut spending and try to see if we can get our federal government a lot closer to a balanced budget, and that’s going to be a hard fight... but it’s an important fight for our kids’ future,” Stivers said. According to statistics from the House Budget Committee, Stivers said the debt as a percentage of gross domestic product will be at 100 percent in a few years and is projected to increase to 300 percent of our GDP by 2050. “It’s not that long before it will be unmanageable,” he said. “We’ve got to get spending turned around, which means we’ve got to figure out what to do with discretionary spending... and have an adult conversation about the mandatory spending programs at the same time.” Stivers, 45, defeated incumbent Mary Jo Kilroy in last November’s election for the 15th district seat, netting more than 50 percent of the vote in a district that includes Union
and Madison counties, along with portions of Columbus and its western suburbs. Along with discussing the country’s financial concerns, Stivers touched on several issues close to home Rep. Steve in Ohio, particularly on batStivers tles going on in the statehouse over public employee union rights. “I think everyone sees us as Midwestern, sensible folks — so if (state governments) can’t undo something like that here, it’s going to be really hard to undo that in other places,” he said. “I think that’s what you’re seeing now in the state legislature: a way to figure out how to get that (equity),” Stivers said. “If you plot the amount a school district spends on one axis, and their performance on another axis, there’s not much of a relationship between how much they spend and how high the performance is. Yesterday we drove by Jonathan Alder (High School), which has one of the lowest expenditures per pupil in the state, and some of the highest test scores in the state, so on efficiency they’re doing really well. It’s really about the work ethic of the students and their families, that whole family unit working together to make sure the kids become educated.” As gas prices in Ohio and across the nation continue to rise due to upheaval in the Middle East, Stivers added that he also in-
tends to focus on energy production. “I don’t think we’re at the top (gasoline prices) yet. I don’t claim to be an energy expert, but I still think it’s going to go up from where we are,” he said. “Part of that is the Middle East, but when the EPA won’t issue new permits for drilling here...” Stivers said he signed a letter circulated by Jeff Landry (3rd District, Louisiana), along with about 70 other members of Congress, urging the EPA to issue permits for new oil drilling endeavors. “Studies have shown there is a safe way to do this, and the administration, because of that, has lifted the ban on off-shore drilling,” he said. “We need to let them understand that their funding is directly related to whether or not we think they’re doing the job of protecting the environment, but with sciencebased rules. If you’re not using science, you’re just throwing darts at the wall.” Having spent much of his life serving in the Army National Guard, Stivers said he will be able to continue in that capacity while serving in Congress. “It was amazing how hard it was to figure out how everything worked with that, as far as whether I would even be allowed to serve or receive a paycheck for it, but I am going to be able to continue my service,” he said. “I’ll be able to do my one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer, and I’m excited to be able to continue after 25 years of serving. They didn’t put any restrictions on me, so I’ll be just like any other member of the National Guard, so I’m excited about that.”

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-

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.

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)? You betcha. Of course Catalfino’s topnotch pizzas are the stars. You can design your own, go with a traditional combo or pick one of the shop’s over-the-top specialties ($8.50 to $22).

Also terrific was the wellnamed Champion (ricotta, bacon, sausage, ham, pepperoni and much more). Catalfino’s menu says this pie’s won more than 20 awards in competitions, and I could see — and taste! — why. The menu also says The Fan’s Scott Torgerson declared the Spicy Italian “will be his final meal if he’s ever on Death Row.” After demolishing that irresistible grease bomb (killer spicy marinara plus double meats and cheeses), Death Row seemed almost redundant.

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.

Emotions roared at district wrestling Joy and relief were among the feelings Olentangy Liberty High School wrestler Jarrod Boone experienced as he walked off the mat after his 3-0 victory over Westland’s Scott Haslam in a consolation semifinal Feb. 26 at Hilliard Darby. The win assured Boone a spot among the top four in his weight JARROD class, landing him a coveted ULREY berth in the Division I state tournament at Ohio State for the first time. It also meant he was one of the fortunate ones — particularly at 125 pounds — to avert the painful feelings associated with being a senior whose dreams of advancing to state get dashed for the final time. There were 93 seniors among the 224 overall district representatives at Darby, but 12 of those were among the 16 competitors at 125. The weight that had the next most seniors was 215, which had nine. Needless to say, the emotions throughout the action last weekend were wide-ranging at 125 as top-seeded seniors such as Hilliard Davidson’s Eric Hoffman and Lancaster’s Ben Davis came up short of qualifying for state. Troy’s Cole Cochran pinned Beavercreek’s Josh Stevens in 4 minutes, 54 seconds in a matchup of seniors for the 125 championship, while Boone settled for fourth after losing to Pickerington Central senior Isaiah Brunner 7-3 in the thirdplace match. But for those four athletes, how they did during the night finals Feb. 26 was secondary to the fact that they had survived what was perhaps the tournament’s most rugged bracket. “It was really competitive because I’ve wrestled a few of these guys before,” Boone said. “I was really happy and nervous at the same time. It’s great because now you get to be recognized throughout the state. You know you’re one of the top 16 in the entire state.” Boone came in with extra motivation after losing in his consolation semifinal and settling for being a state alternate a year ago. He attended last year’s state tournament and watched as teammate Ethan Snyder competed.

Satterthwaite to wrestle at state By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Dan Satterthwaite had one mission in mind after he lost in the opening round of the Division III district wrestling tournament Feb. 25-26 at Coshocton. The Grandview Heights High School senior knew he would have to win four matches in a row at 215 pounds to reach his goal of being a state qualifier. Satterthwaite was up to the task. He won four consecutive matches before falling in the consolation final to finish fourth at district. The top four in each weight class advanced to state Thursday, March 3, through Saturday, March 5, at Ohio State. Satterthwaite pinned Tim Schenkel of Caldwell in a consolation semifinal 45 seconds into overtime to secure his trip to state. “I almost gave coach (Andy DiSabaSee ULREY, page A8 to) a heart attack in that match,” said Sat-
terthwaite, who enters state with a 34-10 record. “I got pretty lucky because the first (consolation) match, (Michael Little of Pomeroy Meigs) was injured, so I got a default and that helped a little. “But each match you win, it gets you going a little more. A couple of times coach got up and yelled, ‘You’d better suck it up.’ I don’t think I would have made it without those (urgings).” Satterthwaite was pinned in the opening round by eventual champion Travis Drumm of Heath in 1:38. He lost in the consolation final to Tuscarawas Central Catholic’s Bryan Adams 4-3 to finish 42 at district. “I’ve coached for 26 years and this is only the third time that I’ve had a wrestler lose in the first round and make it to state,” DiSabato said. “That’s hard to do against wrestlers at this level.” Satterthwaite opens state against Bedford Chanel junior Kennedy Smith (414), who won the Garfield Heights district.
The winner will face Delphos Jefferson junior Curtis Miller (49-2) or Defiance Tinora senior Marc Moser (47-4) in the second round. Satterthwaite is in the same bracket at state as Drumm, who is 31-1. “I went to state two years ago to see my teammate, Michael Falk, but we didn’t have anyone go last year,” Satterthwaite said. “It was overwhelming seeing (state) for the first time. Seeing wrestlers from schools like (Lakewood) St. Edward and other schools was amazing. It feels pretty good to get there and be able to wrestle.” Senior Alex Minnillo also competed at district for the Bobcats, but went 1-2 at 145. He finished 29-14 overall. Minnillo was pinned by eventual runner-up Mason Gulash of Shadyside in 3:08 in the opening round. He then pinned Crooksville’s Seth Mumford in 4:56 before losing to Ready’s Hannibal Tate 8-7. “We knew if he could get past Tate, he
had a good chance of making it out,” DiSabato said. “Tate ended up losing in the consolation semifinals (5-0 to Centerburg’s Jimmy Alexander), so he would have been right there for a chance for state.” The Bobcats scored 18 points at district to finish 30th behind champion Nelsonville-York (129) as 53 teams scored. •The girls basketball team played topseeded Africentric on March 1 in a Division III district semifinal. The winner plays Mount Gilead or Columbus School for Girls in a district final at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 5, at Olentangy Orange. The Bobcats beat CSG 4240 on Dec. 7 as Danielle Clark scored 16 points and Karen Daniel-Hamberg had 12. Grandview has not played Mount Gilead.

Silver Knights send three athletes to state tourneys By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Three Ready High School athletes will be competing at Ohio’s highest level after advancing from district tournaments in their respective sports. Senior Allison Lichwa qualified for the state girls bowling tournament Friday, March 4, at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl by placing third (582) at district Feb. 26 at HP Lanes. She was the highest of three individual qualifiers and finished behind only Westerville Central’s Mary Wells (620) and Zanesville’s Erika Savage (588), both of whom will compete with their respective teams at state. Senior Josh Hall and freshman Bobby Smith will represent the Silver Knights at the state wrestling tournament, which begins Thursday, March 3, and concludes Saturday, March 5, at Ohio State. Hall was the champion at 112 pounds at the district tournament Feb. 25-26 at Coshocton and Smith finished third at 103 to earn his spot at state. For Lichwa, becoming the third bowler from Ready to advance to state came as a surprise. She opened the district tournament by rolling a 242, which ended up being the best one-game performance among the district’s 119 competitors. She followed with scores of 202 and 138 to total 582. “I knew after my first game that I was (doing well),” Lichwa said. “I didn’t expect it. I just
Durbin (39-1). Hall is 38-4 and will begin his second state tournament against Bloomdale Elmwood sophomore Dusty Ferguson (26-5). Hall, who went 0-2 at state at 112 a year ago, opened the district tournament by pinning his first two opponents. He then easily got by Hannibal River’s Josh Bartrug (9-2) and Caledonia River Valley’s Jonathan Edwards (9-3). “All year I was struggling on bottom, and ever since (mid-January) me and (assistant) coach (Chris) Schlaegel have worked on bottom, so that has really improved,” Hall said. “I think I’ve changed it from a major weakness to a strength. Last year, I was definitely content just to be (at state) and was definitely intimidated to be there. This year, I’m looking at it as more of a business trip than a vacation.” Smith pinned his first two district opponents but fell to eventual champion Zon Fields of Marion Pleasant 8-4 in his third match. He pinned his next two opponents to finish third. “I was a little disappointed that I lost to (Fields), but the big picture is that I’m going to the state tournament,” Smith said. “Being in the By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek arena will be kind of overwhelming, but I think Ready’s Josh Hall works on Mark Guza of Watterson in a match at 103 pounds at the CCL meet Feb. it’ll all sink in once I get on the mat. I watched it last year and when I was about 10 or 11.” 12. Hall and teammate Bobby Smith qualified for the state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State. The wrestling team finished fourth at district bowled for me. I was really happy and excited Both Hall and Smith have state championship with 80 points, behind Nelsonville-York (129), West Jefferson (106.5) and Galion Northmor when I found out (that I qualified for state). I just aspirations. have to relax and not be nervous and do what I Smith is 40-2 overall and opens the state tourSee READY, page A8 know how to do.” nament against Ashland Mapleton freshman Zach

READY and DeSales (4-4), and ahead of Columbus School for Girls (1-7). Ready’s only seniors were starter Dani Pugh, who made honorable mention all-district and averaged 11.4 points, and backup Kelly Veeley. Among those expected to return are juniors Nikki Brown, Caitlin McAndrew and Ciarra Carr and sophomores Kim Lloyd and Alexis Mayle. Lloyd was the second-leading scorer, averaging 8.8 points. Mayle averaged 7.3 points and made honorable mention all-district. The Silver Knights lost to third-seeded BloomCarroll 46-36 on Feb. 23 in the second round of the Division III district tournament. “I definitely think we gave it all we had (against Bloom-Carroll),” said Joe Lang, who completed his 30th season as coach. “Offensively, we just did not shoot it well enough, and you’re not going to beat a lot of good teams scoring 36 points. That game was kind of a microcosm of our season, considering we shot 13 of 43 from the floor. “We’re a team that didn’t have much offense that is losing its leading producer. If we don’t improve our offensive skills in the offseason, things aren’t going to go much better next year.” During a four-game stretch that included three consecutive wins to close the regular season and a 55-49 victory over sixth-seeded Centerburg in the first round of the tournament Feb. 17, Mayle averaged 17 points. “The first time we played DeSales (in a 5552 loss Jan. 15), it was like, ‘Hey, we’re getting better,’” Lang said. “I felt like we played some good teams tough and our confidence really picked up by the end of the season.”

pleted her 10th season as coach. “We had 66 personal-bests from the boys and girls at sectional and that’s all you can ask for is to be swimming their best at the end of the season.” The boys team set two individual program records at district as well as in all three relays. Setting the individual records were senior Alex Jones, who was 14th (2:17.45) in the 200-yard individual medley, and junior Sean Oberschlake, who was 16th (1:54.52) in the 200 freestyle. The 200 medley relay of Oberschlake, Jones, junior Jacob Smith and junior Brendan Cox was eighth (1:47.89) and the 200 free relay of freshman Tucker Rinehart, Smith, freshman Josh Smith and junior Evan Tillett was ninth (1:34.63). The 400 free relay of Oberschlake, Josh Smith, Rinehart and Tillett was seventh (3:31.4). “We had someone on the podium at district for the first time in 52 years, and that was with the 200 medley relay and the 400 free relay,” Hoch said. “That is a big step for our program.” Also at district, senior Jude Kozelek was 29th (54.14) in the 100 free and 28th (1:12.11) in the 100 breaststroke and freshman William Kramer was 18th (2:22.98) in the 200 IM. Oberschlake was 10th (5:16.02) in the 500 free and Rinehart was 12th (1:01.16) in the 100 backstroke and 13th (58.02) in the 100 butterfly. Jacob Smith was 25th (1:58.64) in the 200 free and 16th in the 100 fly (58.45) and Josh Smith was 23rd (23.71) in the 50 free and 14th (1:01.82) in the 100 back. Tillett was 19th (23.52) in the 50 free and
22nd (53.3) in the 100 free. Also at district for the girls team, senior Anneliese Bonn finished 10th (26.15) in the 50 free and 17th (58.33) in the 100 free, junior Lindsey Swihart was 14th (2:15.43) in the 200 free and 19th (6:01.25) in the 500 free, freshman Maddie Bills was 21st (2:18.7) in the 200 free, junior Hallie Kerr was 24th (1:07.6) in the 100 fly and freshman Ellie McLeod was 30th (28.13) in the 50 free. On Feb. 12 in the sectional tournament at Upper Arlington, the boys team was first (284) of six teams, ahead of runner-up Olentangy (281). The girls team was second (255) of five teams behind Wellington (296). “I was very encouraged by our finish,” Hoch said. “The boys won the sectional, which is something we never expected, and we qualified 18 individuals to district and all of our relays.” In the MSL meet, which concluded Jan. 29, the boys team finished third (155) of 12 teams behind champion Granville (269) and Columbus Academy (215), and the girls team was fourth (106) behind Granville (391),Academy (291) and Bexley (145). Bonn is the lone senior for the girls team and Carl Delavaris, Jones and Kozelek comprise the senior class for the boys team. “We only lose four seniors, so it looks good for things to come,” Hoch said. “We have a lot of young talent coming back and the boys team is really seeing some success. This is an exciting time for us now.”
Boone then participated in more open tournaments than in any previous offseason. Having a more focused attitude also has helped Brunner. He was a district qualifier at 103 as a sophomore at Central despite coming out for the sport for the first time. Last season, he attended Columbus South and ended up fifth at a Division II sectional at 119. Refocused and back with the Tigers this season, Brunner lost to Boone 8-5 in the sectional final at Pickerington North on Feb. 19. At district, he was pinned by Cochran in 1:10 in a
semifinal but edged Davis 2-1 in his next match to qualify for state. Brunner had fallen to Davis 8-6 during the Tigers’ 30-24 dual victory Feb. 4. “I think with (so many) of the guys being seniors (at 125) it was more intense, so it was harder,” Brunner said. “I would have been mad if I hadn’t made it (to state). I like wrestling, but I just really don’t like losing. I was mad when I didn’t get out as a sophomore but I got over it. Last year I think I played around too

much. I think my coaches this year pushed me harder because they knew I could get to state.” There might not be a more hopeless feeling for wrestlers than when all their hours of conditioning, drilling and becoming mentally tougher doesn’t result in victories during the most intense situations. For seniors such as Boone and Brunner, the payoff makes the hard work seem worth it. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Seneca East, Bucyrus, Castalia Margaretta or Collins Western Reserve. The Bobcats have not played any of those potential opponents and none of the teams was ranked in the final state poll. Grandview defeated Fairbanks 44-40 in overtime in the second round of the tournament Feb. 22 at Gahanna. Daniel-Hamberg scored 17 points, Kaitlyn Sarich scored 10 and Abby Cameron scored eight. “I think the girls have been paying attention to the little things and picking up what we are trying to do against opponents,” coach Steve Hall said. “They have been working hard to execute our game plan. “Also, we have five seniors and the team is really a close group. I think being close like that speaks volumes about the way they have been playing. They don’t want to see the season end.” •The boys basketball team finished 10-11 overall after losing to Centerburg 51-42 on Feb. 22 in the opening round of the Division III district tournament at Westerville North. Riley Middendorf and Andy Treasure each scored 14 points. •The swimming teams completed the season Feb. 18 in the Division II district meet at Ohio State. The boys team finished 10th (88) behind champion Granville (256) as 34 teams scored and the girls team was 15th (42) behind champion Granville (368) as 33 teams scored. “It really was an amazing season,” said Patti Hoch, who com-
(86.5) as 53 teams scored. Missing qualifying for state by one spot were Dalton Scott (119) and Hannibal Tate (145), both of whom placed fifth. Scott went 3-2 and Tate went 4-2. Joe Knapp (135) and Phil Halko (160) each won two district matches and Brandon Cooper (215) won one. Patrick Stover (130) and Patrik Garren (189) both went 0-2. •The boys basketball team’s season ended with a 50-46 triple-overtime loss to top-seeded Heath in the second round of the Division III district tournament Feb. 26 at Newark. Ready trailed 14-7 at halftime, but the game was tied at 17 after three quarters and tied at 32 at the end of regulation. Christian Knapper scored 11 points, followed by Bo Hardy with nine, Kris Clarke and Derek Farmer with eight and Kyle Wilgus with seven. Ready was outscored 23-8 from the free-throw line. The Silver Knights finished 6-16 while Heath improved to 16-5 and played in a district semifinal March 2 against eighth-seeded Horizon Science Academy. Heath’s Roger Gleckler made a 10-foot shot along the baseline with 1 second remaining in regulation to force the first overtime. The Bulldogs made six of 10 free throws in the third overtime, with Gleckler making two foul shots with 4 seconds remaining to seal the victory. Gleckler led Heath with 20 points, including making 14 of 19 free throws. •After having back-to-back winning seasons, the girls basketball team endured an eightgame losing streak beginning in mid-January and finished 8-14 overall. The Silver Knights finished fourth (2-6) in julrey@thisweeknews.com the CCL, behind Watterson (7-1), Hartley (6-2) www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
