Olentangy board OKs cuts if levy fails By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Olentangy school board on Feb. 23 unanimously approved a list of $11.48-million in proposed cuts and cost-saving measures should the May 3 combination levy-bond issue fail. Before the vote was taken, two residents took the board to task for not looking at other ways to save money. Korey Brown told the board it was

using scare tactics or threats by saying things such as sports and extracurricular activities would be cut if the tax issue loses. He and Karl Salmon asked why

school officials did not look at requiring employees to pay more for benefits such as health care and their pensions. Brown said the district should freeze base wages, do away with step pay increases and require employees to pay more toward health insurance and pensions. He said doing that would save millions without having to cut sports or lay-off workers. “The bottom line is the taxpayers are tapped,” he said.

The board approved proposed cuts that include eliminating up to 124 teaching, administrative and classified jobs to save about $6.7-million as well as cutting sports and extracurricular activities to save $2.97-million. The combination three-year 7.9-mill operating levy and no-new-millage bond issue would keep academic programs intact and provide money for a new elementary school. The levy would raise about $25.5-mil-

lion annually and an additional $241.94 a year per $100,000 of assessed residential valuation. The bond issue would raise about $24.4-million by restructuring the district’s current bond debt. Salmon told the board he works in human resources and has been involved in contract negotiations in the private sector. He told the board it never should have agreed last year to a one-year conSee OLENTANGY, page A2

Zoning commission will review Menards store plan By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The widening likely will extend from Wynstone Drive on the south to Abbey Knoll Drive on the north, Riley said. The project is in the developing stage. “Preliminary analysis shows that it will probably take two lanes in each

Menards will take a big step toward building a proposed 162,000-square-foot home improvement store in Orange Township when representatives meet with the township zoning commission next month. Township zoning inspector Dick Gladman told trustees at their Feb. 22 meeting that two hearings on the proposed store are slated to start at 7:30 p.m. on March 3. The store would be built on about 70 acres north of Orange Point Road on the east side of U.S. Route 23 Menards and Highdev Inc. seek rezoning of 27.8 acres from farm residential to planned industrial use. A second application seeks to rezone 43.1 acres from neighborhood commercial and farm residential to planned commercial and office district, for retail, restaurant and office uses. Gladman said before the trustees’ meeting that the 43.1 acres would anchor outlot stores. Up to 19 outlot parcels could be developed at the site. The zoning inspector could give no timetable for how long the zoning process might take. However, Menards representatives have said they hope to begin store construction by August. An attempt by the home improvement chain to build a store at another location in Orange Township failed three years ago. Menards’ new plan cleared a hurdle Feb. 10 when Delaware County commissioners approved a 50-percent tax abatement for 10 years on the assessed value of the store. About $5-million in infrastructure costs, including roadway improvements, are needed and the abatement could save the company about $860,000 over the 10

Funding approved to widen Old State By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Plans to widen South Old State Road north of Polaris Parkway have received federal grant funding. On Feb. 14, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission announced that Delaware County will receive $12.6million over the coming years to widen

almost two miles of South Old State Road, including the intersection at Polaris Parkway. MORPC administers the funds for the federal government. The total project cost is estimated at $15.8-million. “We are excited to be moving forward with this project,” said Rob Riley, deputy engineer for Delaware Coun-

ty engineer Chris Bauserman’s office. “The corridor has a history of traffic accidents with more than 300 crashes occurring over the past three years.Traffic volumes along the southernmost sections of the corridor currently approach 20,000 vehicles per day and are expected to grow to nearly 30,000 vehicles per day by the year 2035,” Riley said.

CIC opposes Powell’s development staff outsourcing By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Powell’s Community Investment Corporation board members said they oppose outsourcing the city’s development staff. At the board’s Feb. 22 meeting, members Brad Sprague, Richard Brahm and Jim Hrivnak, who also

is a city council member, approved sending a recommendation to city council that “the development department remain intact” because it is “crucial” to Powell’s “economic competitiveness” and “moving forward” and that they are “opposed to any efforts to contract the function out to either another government entity or private contractor.”

Sprague recommended that the board, if in agreement, “weigh in on the issue” to city council. The motion was prompted by city council member Sara Marie Brenner’s Feb. 8 presentation that provided ideas for outsourcing city services as a possible way to save money that could be used for capital improvements, such as roads, sewers

and sidewalks. Brenner, who also sits on the CIC board, was not present at the meeting. Development director Dave Betz who sits on the board, abstained from voting and did not add to the discussion. The city’s development department has two full-time employees

who also fill the roles of the zoning and IT departments. A part-time employee helps with zoning issues. “I work all over Ohio with communities ranging in size from Columbus to Norwalk. It’s a competitive world, and the most successful communities are ones that have a laser focus on development. I don’t be-

Olentangy board OKs cuts if operating levy is defeated Continued from page A1 tract extension with the Olentangy Education Association. He said while teachers gave up a base-pay increase, they continue to receive lucrative fringe benefits as well as step increases. “I don’t begrudge public employees good benefits and good wages (but) we’re at a point where taxpayers have had enough,” Salmon said. “People in this community can’t keep paying more and more.” Board members had discussed the proposed cuts during a work session on Feb. 9. No members spoke prior to voting on the cuts on Feb. 23. After that meeting, board president Julie

Wagner Feasel said the board has worked hard to keep finances in order, has made $15.7-million in cuts since 2008 and still must cut $4.5-million even if the levy passes. The main focus has been to protect academic programs. “We continue to watch what happens in other school districts. ... We understand the situation,” she said. One factor that could change things significantly in the future is whether Senate Bill 5 passes, she said. That proposed bill would eliminate collective bargaining for state workers, take away binding arbitration for police and firefighters, and limit the bargaining power of teachers and other local workers.

In another matter at the Feb. 23 meeting, superintendent Wade Lucas told the board in a state of the district presentation that Olentangy continues to improve academically. He said the district is the state’s eighthlargest, with 16,000 students and continues to work on a plan launched last year to determine where the district is headed in the next decade. A variety of factors, including rapid growth, reduced state funding, proposed legislative changes and the need to continue cost-saving measures, confront Olentangy, he said. “We have many challenges in a district this size,” Lucas said. “Trying times present great opportunities” in finding better ways to do things.

Orange zoning commission will review Menards plan Continued from page A1 years. The Orange trustees had recommended that the commissioners approve the abatement. Last month, trustee chairman Rob Quigley said the store would benefit both the township and the county. Officials have said the $7.5million store could have up to 80 jobs and could generate about $600,000 annually in county sales tax revenue. Gladman also said before the Feb. 22 trustees’ meeting that Evans Capital Investments Ltd. has applied to rezone 92.5 acres behind the proposed Menards site. That application also will be heard at the March 3 zoning commission meeting, along with requests to rezone the site from farm residential to planned in-

dustrial for mixed light industrial and commercial use. On. Feb. 22, the trustees unanimously approved a special event permit for Caribbean Jerks tavern, 1262 E. Powell Road, to hold a charity event outdoors in the parking lot from 11 a.m. March 17 to 1 a.m. March 18. As part of the event, a band will perform inside a large tent. B.J. Maselli, representing Caribbean Jerks, told the trustees the tavern has held a fundraiser each of the past several years to raise money for various area families who have children stricken with cancer or a life-threatening disease. The tavern has raised between $75,000 and $80,000 in the past several years and plans to donate money this year to the family of a young girl with a cancerous tumor. The girl must undergo months of chemotherapy, he said.

Area residents Tim and Anita Hinton of Sedona Drive said that while they appreciate what Caribbean Jerks is doing, they don’t appreciate the noise, parking problems and other issues caused by the event each year. “They say they want to be a good community neighbor, but they never are,” Anita Hinton said. “I want you to be considerate of us. We are taxpayers.” Before approving the permit, trustees required the tavern to stop the band performance by 11 p.m. and provide phone numbers to township officials to call in case of complaints. Maselli said two special-duty deputies will work the event, which usually attracts about 1,000 people. He said Caribbean Jerks wants to be a good neighbor and that the annual event “is a good thing for the community.”

Just thinking

Billing for nothing: a consumer’s story Surprise! I got a bill in the mail a few days ago. I don’t get many bills — at least not in my name — because I almost never charge things, so it was, in fact, a surprise, though I’ve had better. I suppose I’d be accustomed to bills if my husband and I had the arrangement that I’ve gathered most people have. In most marriages, if a random, informal, entirely anecdotal survey can be introduced as evidence, the woman pays the bills and buys the groceries while the man pays for his haircuts and the children’s college educations. Our arrangement is different. Too long ago for me to recall the “why” of it, my husband started paying the bills while I paid for groceries, the children’s clothes — when our daughters still were children — school workbooks, field trip fees, yearbook checks and so on — when our daughters still were public school students — and other minor expenses such as book bags, haircuts, clothing, shoes and college application fees. I also wrote most of the notes that went to school with our daughters over the years, the notes that explained illnesses, dentist appointments, a daughter’s failure to leave spaces between words when writing the week’s spelling list (an offense that merited a day’s detention), both daughters’ tardiness (we were shoveling out the driveway), a daughter’s inadvertent use of a chair’s rungs as a footrest (another detention) and so on. Of course, notes to school have nothing to do with division of a family’s financial responsibilities. They do, however, explain why I always felt vaguely guilty when walking the halls of learning, while my husband visited school with cheerful insouciance. But to return to the topic of bills. I rarely receive them, as I

say, and the sight of my name peering from a windowed envelope surprised me. I wondered, MARGO at first, if I’d BARTLETT bought something in my sleep. Or while online, which sometimes amounts to almost the same thing. I never charge things, although I do have several stores’ charge cards, because … well, you know why. Because you can get an extra 10 percent off if you open a charge account today, that’s why. I usually brush off such offers the way I brush crumbs off the toaster, but every so often, thrilled with the deep, deep discount I’m already getting, I go all the way. The store practically owes me money by the time my application has been approved, and if I never use the card again, well, no matter. It adds to my wallet’s gravitas just the same. But here’s the thing. Stores know what I’m up to. Of course they know. Thousands of shoppers every day are enticed to open charge accounts in order to claim some small prize — a percentage off, this lovely necklace, the chance to win a dream vacation. Then these shoppers proceed to sit on their plastic like so many laying hens instead of using it to buy stuff. Even I, a person with no intention of swiping store charge cards all over the place, can see how annoying this behavior might be. “After we gave them all that money off!” the stores probably fume. “And those lovely necklaces too!” So here’s what they did: They came up with a sale, a great sale, an irresistible sale offering the chance to buy extremely desir-

able items for practically nothing. Look, they’re offering an actual gift card that we can use to purchase these desirable items! Let’s buy some right away! And only after you’re at the cash register, halfway through the check-out process, do you discover what the teeny-tiny print on the gift card says. It says to get the irresistible price on the desirable items, you have to use your store charge card. Two points for the store. Some of us, however, don’t give up without a last-ditch effort to cling to our values. After a moment of ambivalence — should I not buy the items after all? Resign myself to paying later? — I paid off my charge account balance immediately and left the store beholden to no one. Well, to no department store, anyway. Two points for me. And now this: a bill. “Pay online,” a message on the envelope suggested cheerfully. Lips pursed, I opened the envelope. It’s probably just a flier, I thought. But no. It was a bill, with three slick-paper advertising inserts and a return envelope. “Purchases: $66.02,” the bill said. “Payments: $66.02. Fees: $0.00. Interest charges: $0.00. New balance: $0.00.” It went on to delineate my account activity, the annual percentage rate (21.90; heavens) and to-date totals of various kinds, all equaling zero. To summarize, the store went to quite a lot of trouble to bill me for nothing. Two points for me. Unless … what do I see on this insert? Twenty-five percent off already reduced … The game continues.

History today

Two school employees lauded in 1950 Recognizing people for achievements, contributions, and hard work is part of our culture. In February of 1950, the Powell PTA paid honor to Jim Brown and Lester Grace. Back then, Powell had one school building for all 12 grades. It was fondly called “the monument on the hill” and sat on the north CAROLE of Powell WILHLEM side Road, where Powell Center is today. The Powell Liberty Historical Society has a scrapbook with autographs and a memory book with histories and news clippings about the program honoring Brown, a quiet and humble employee, and Grace, a strict and well-respected teacher. The scrapbook related to the event was saved by Jane Case Bohannon, who was on the planning committee. Each man received a memory book, and the society was given the one belonging to Brown.

These were constructed of curly birch with antique hinges and designed by John E. Kirkham, with a sketch by Anita Crist who was an art instructor at Upper Arlington High School. Both of them were graduates of Powell High School.

Brown’s sketch was of the school bus — actually a horsedrawn wagon — that he began to drive in 1911. His team, Nell and Mabel, were put in a nearby barn during the school day, as Brown See HISTORY, page A5

HISTORY TODAY Continued from page A4 was a high school senior at that time. In 1912, Brown was one of five in the first graduating class of the Powell High School and was encouraged to become a teacher, but he chose to continue driving the school bus. In 1917, the board of education was the first in the state to buy Model T Fords with chain drives and solid tires. He must have been a pretty thrilled man with that advancement in transportation. He drove a bus until 1948, with no accidents, which included special class trips to historic cities on the east coast and to Canada. Jim then became the school custodian when the school board asked him to take on that position. They knew him to be a reliable individual. The sketch included in Grace’s memory book was of the old red brick school building which still stands on South Liberty Street, where he began his Powell teaching career in 1907. He was born in what was then described as the

Preservation Parks news

nearby “Smoky Row community.” He received $45 a month for teaching the upper grades. This was quite an increase over the $30 a month he received two years earlier at the one-room Spring View School in Concord Township. When the new centralized building was opened in 1911 (“the monument on the hill”), he was transferred there to teach seventh and eighth grades. I do not have information about his salary in later years. The program on Feb. 16, 1950, included a variety of musical performances. Marjorie and William Wilcox, two of Grace’s students during those early years, were selected to read histories of the men being honored. About 500 students were taught by Lester Grace in 43 years. That may not sound like many, but you have to understand that the size of the graduating classes ranged from five in 1912 to 13 in 1949, with some classes being larger. Nearly 500 autographs were gathered for the memory books. Alumni remembered both men for

their patience, kindness, understanding and interest. Johnny Jones, a well-known columnist with The Columbus Dispatch, lauded the Powell community for keeping a secret about the program honoring these two men. He wrote, “Powell did a swell job and the PTA outlined a pattern that could well be followed throughout Ohio.” Lester Grace and Jim Brown received gold watches “as a token of the affection and esteem in which they are held by friends, former students and the community,” wrote Lucile Canfield in The Delaware Gazette on Feb. 20, 1950. Mrs. Canfield also directed and accompanied a women's and men's chorus for the program. For those who know Jean Kirkham, a wellrespected piano teacher in Powell, she is Lucile Canfield's daughter and also the wife of John Kirkham, who designed the memory book.

Park programs aim to be self-sustaining By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Given a goal by Powell City Council to be self-sustaining, the parks and recreation programs department is setting that aim. “Since the department’s creation in 2000, it has been the goal to achieve selfsufficient status,” said Jeff Snyder, director of parks and recreation and public service. The recreation programming budget is separate from the parks department’s budget. During November discussions on the 2011 budget, city council said it was

time for the programming department to be self-sustaining. Council said it would stop transferring money from the general fund into the department. In 2010, the department received $46,500 from the general fund. At the beginning of the 2011 budget discussions, the department was slated to receive $35,000, but council rejected that amount. The department has responded with increasing class fees by 5 to 10 percent, depending on the program, said Jeff Robinson, city information officer. The fee that nonresidents pay on top of the class fee rose from $7 to $9. The fee increases have not resulted in

any reductions in program participation, Snyder said. “Our registrations are tracking the same or even slightly ahead of where our registration numbers were at this same time last year,” Robinson said. The proposed 2011 budget for recreation programming is $150,330. Its estimated revenue is $145,114. It had a fund carryover balance of $50,553 on Jan. 1. “It is the department’s goal to overcome any deficit by increasing program fees, reducing expenditures and creating new revenue streams such as new programs, partnerships and advertising

and sponsorship revenue,” Robinson said. One approach the department uses to keep expenses down is contracting the instruction for some programs. Tumbling and drama classes are examples of contracted instruction. “Contracted instructors are used to provide a broad scope of programming expertise. These instructors allow us to provide quality programming without having to hire additional department personnel. Each instructor has a specific area of knowledge or a talent that we would otherwise not be able to provide,” Robinson said.

Fees generated by contracted instructor classes cover the class cost and can provide a small source of revenue for the recreation programming department, Snyder said. Other measures the programming department has taken to trim costs are reducing the brochure-printing costs from $16,200 in 2010 to $14,000 in 2011, advertising costs from $2,500 in 2010 to $500 in 2011, training costs from $1,750 in 2010 to $1,000 in 2011, computer equipment costs from $700 in 2010 to zero in 2011, and software maintenance costs from $3,200 in 2010 to $2,700 in 2011.

CIC opposes Powell’s development staff outsourcing Continued from page A1 might have three or four other clients that are competing in the same way is a mistake. I don’t think you can value what you’ve built by looking at the dollars alone.” Sprague also was concerned about

the loss of initiatives already in place. “There’ve been several steps over the last couple of years to accelerate the rate of economic growth not the least of which is the creation of the CIC. I think a lot of that momentum would be lost if the city decided to let somebody else be their

marketing agent to this community,” he said. Board members also: • Discussed the job creation incentive agreements with Giant Eagle and the Market at Liberty Crossing which will receive incentive payments of a percent of the income

tax revenue their businesses generated for the city. By April, the city will know what amount of income tax the businesses generated and will tell the CIC what the incentive payment should be. •Toured the newly renovated city building at 44 N. Liberty St. which

will provide office space for startup businesses. • Discussed moving forward on agreements and procedural documents relating to a business incubator site. • Said that they will likely be able to assign the start-up office space in

June or July. • Heard that the CIC website layout is finished. • Recommended that the city’s development staff create a logo for the CIC and website in the event that a suggested logo contest does not occur.

Liberty trustees set rezoning hearing By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Liberty Township trustees on Feb. 23 set a special meeting to hear the rezoning for 216 acres from farm residential to planned residential. The hearing is set for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 15, at the township hall, 7761 N. Liberty Road. The property is on the southwest corner of Home Road and state Route 315. The property’s address is 7547 Olentangy River Road. If trustees approve the rezoning, The Edwards Land Co. Ltd. plans to build 148 single family lots and have 103.4 acres of reserve area. The township planning and zoning commission approved the rezoning and development on Jan. 26. The plan was introduced to the zoning commission in 2009. At the meeting, resident Anthony Gioffre objected to the rezoning, gave the trustees copies of petitions residents signed objecting to the proposed development and said that the residents have been fighting the subdivision for a year. Trustee Curt Sybert said the zoning com-

missioners have already done “everything they can do” to address residents concerns addressed to the commission on the proposed development. Sybert said all three trustees would have to vote to overturn the zoning commission’s ruling on the issue. Gioffre said that there was a “flood” of people against the rezoning and were ready to referendum a rezoning, should the trustees approve it. He said residents are not against having a development on that property, they oppose what’s being proposed. In particular, he said there are too many homes planned for the property. The development will bring more traffic to side roads that aren’t equipped to handle it, and that the timing economically is not good. “The economics is wrong. There’s somebody sitting there with 35 lots and he got two houses sold in the last two to four years,” Gioffre said. Trustees also: • Recognized the service of Theresa Doodan for her service on the township’s zoning commission. She served over seven years on the commission, from 2004-2011. • Appointed Bonnie Goodson and Todd

Pomorski to two open seats on the township’s zoning commission. • Heard that the amount of road mileage in the township increased from 85.25 miles in 2010 to 85.56 in 2011. The Ohio Department of Transportation requires that the township certify its roads annually. • Authorized participating in the county engineer’s bid process for the township’s 2011 road improvement program for $324,500. The program includes resurfacing a total of 1.58 miles on three roads: Cascade, Baypointe and Bryton drives. Road superintendent John Walkup said that the engineer’s bid does not include prices for updating curb ramps to American with Disabilities Act specifications that the township plans to do on those roads, which will likely cost $25,000. • Said they would like to look at economic development incentives available to the township and meet with businesses to promote the township. • Approved a request to amend the Wedgewood Park II Development plan to allow the owner of a lot in Wedgewood Park II to install a 54-inch, black-metal fence around a pool, patio and pergola.

is determined, the department would move forward with the design phase, which would look at what right of way would be needed from each property, he said. That phase would take about a year. MORPC’s funding commitment includes $2.5- million toward right of way acquisition be-

ginning in 2013. The construction dates have been slated for 2017-2018, but the county is working with MORPC and ODOT to advance the construction schedule to 2015-2016, Riley said. Information on the project is available at www.southoldstateroad.org.

direction plus additional turn lanes at Polaris (Parkway), (East) Powell Road and Orange Road,” Riley said, noting the engineer’s office has not fully weighed all the factors of the widening. Data from the Ohio Department of Transportation show that from 2007-2009, the section of Old State Road from Polaris Parkway to Orange Road had a crash rate 259 percent greater than the statewide average, Riley said. ODOT has crash data from across the state specific to each type of road. Old State Road is classified as an arterial road. The crash rate was weighted against other comparable roads, Riley said. “We classify traffic delay into levels of service that are graded ‘A’ to ‘F,’ based on how long, on average, a person is sitting at the intersection waiting to go,” Riley said. “The level of service at Polaris and Old State is graded as an ‘F,’and a ‘C’to ‘D’at Orange Road and Old State. North of Orange Road, the data does not show capacity or safety issues.” According to county documents, “F’means “forced or breakdown” of the flow of traffic with a greater than 80-second wait, and “D” means “approaching unstable flow” with a 35-55 second wait. The county held a meeting in August 2010 to get public input on the proposed project. “We’ve received a lot of comment from residents ... that everyone would like to see better bikeway connectivity in the area,” Riley said. “We see pedestrian connectivity and providing the bike path as an important part of the project.” The county is working on the conceptual alternatives at this point. “That’s everything from road widening to what can be done with the bike path or bike lanes, side walks, adding two versus three

lanes, or different configurations of turn lanes.” “Over the next couple of months, we’ll narrow that down to what we would consider to be feasible options and present those to the public for feedback later this spring,” Riley said. No date has yet been set. Once the preferred alternative

Wrestling

Liberty, Olentangy win district titles By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The year before coach Mark Marinelli and the Olentangy Liberty High School wrestling team’s current group of seniors arrived, the Patriots scored only one point to tie for last place of the 38 teams that scored in the 2007 Division I district tournament. Keeping their humble beginnings in mind, the Patriots took some extra time to savor their first district championship after they scored 128.5 points to win

the Division I district tournament Feb. 25-26 at Hilliard Darby, ahead of runner-up Springboro (101) and the other 42 teams that scored. “It’s hard to believe we were 37th of 38 teams four years ago, and now we’re No. 1,” senior Craig Thomas said. “Coach Marinelli has done a nice job of putting us in a position to win and he’s given us some of the best motivational speeches I’ve ever heard. Winning our first district championship means a lot to us, and it’s great for the program because it’s the start of a tra-

dition of success here.” The top four placers in each weight class qualified for the state tournament Thursday, March 3, through Saturday, March 5, at Ohio State, and seven Patriots made the cut. Thomas went 4-0 at 152 pounds, beating Central Crossing’s Gage Hysell 5-0 in the final to capture the Patriots’ first individual district title. “It feels good to win here to make it to state for the first time,” Thomas said. “The exciting thing is I’m not going to have to wrestle someone who placed

high at district in my first match. For the seven of us who made it, we have to wrestle match to match, and if the podium (for the top eight placers) comes, it comes. Coach has given us three goals. He wants us to be aggressive, be the first to the center of the mat and to score six to eight offensive points every match.” Ethan Snyder (152) and Nick Kaczkowski (160) both went 3-1 to place second, while Jake Ryan (130) went 5-1 to place third. Jarrod Boone (125), Anthony Michael (130) and Luke

Fleming (heavyweight) all went 3-2 to place fourth. Snyder went 3-2 to place fourth at 145 at district a year ago to become Liberty’s first state qualifier, before going 0-2 at state. “It was nice to be the first one from my team to go to state, but it will be way better to go there with my teammates,” Snyder said. “Getting second here should help me, too, because I won’t have to start out against a disSee WRESTLE, page B3

Patriots reach district semifinal By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

50 freestyle in 21.56. Thornhill, the only Liberty swimmer to drop time at the meet, came in as the 20th seed and tied Lyndhurst Brush senior Michael Kaplan for 16th (21.96). Thornhill swam a 21.72 to defeat Kaplan (21.85) in a swim-off to get the final spot in the consolation final.

Andy Yazrombek has been a pivotal player for the Olentangy Liberty High School boys basketball team, but never more than on Feb. 26. The senior stepped in front of a Delaware pass with 13 seconds remaining and followed with a pair of free throws to help the Patriots win 54-51 in the second round of the Division I district tournament at Jonathan Alder. Liberty improved to a program-best 16-6 and reached a district semifinal for the first time. The Patriots play secondseeded Northland at 4:15 p.m. Saturday, March 5, at the Fairgrounds Coliseum. “It will be crazy with the atmosphere of that place,” Yazrombek said when asked about playing at the Fairgrounds. “It’s something we have all been looking forward to for a long time. And our fans have been crazy over the last few weeks, so that will make it even better.” Yazrombek had 11 points and five rebounds against Delaware. He surpassed 2006 graduate Cody Rogers as the leading scorer in program history with 592 points. Rogers scored 585. “We had some good stops under the bucket (with steals by Yazrombek and Alex Radkiewicz) and Yaz had the two big free throws,” coach Greg Nossaman said. “We didn’t finish in the first, second or third quarters, but we closed out at the end.” Nick Archer, who blocked a 3-point attempt by Delaware’s Mike Wells in the final seconds, led Liberty with 14 points. Frank Longhino had 11 points, Jake Bischoff scored eight and A.J. Motika scored six. “What can you say about Nick Archer?” Nossaman said of his team’s 6-foot-8 junior center. “He had the flu and came up big with a 3-pointer and another when his foot was on the line. We knew he could shoot it and he came up big for us a couple of times (against Delaware).” The stakes get higher for the Patriots when they play Northland in a district semifinal. The Vikings, who are 21-1 and were second in the final state poll behind Garfield Heights, are led by University of Michigan recruit Trey Burke, a 6-0 point guard who averages 23.9 points and 6.6 assists. The Vikings also have a pair of 6-8 junior forwards in Jalen Robinson (9.8 rebounds per game, 72.4 percent shooting) and Devon Scott (10.1 rebounds per game, 74 percent shooting) as well as 5-10 junior guard Jordan Potts. “We saw (Northland) for a second time (Feb. 26 in a 75-36 win over Franklin Heights),” Nossaman said. “They are long, tall, athletic, quick and can shoot the ball. That about covers everything, doesn’t it?” Northland was seeded behind

Liberty’s Dolgov gets to awards podium By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

CANTON — Olentangy Liberty High School senior Dmitry Dolgov entered the Division I state swimming and diving meet with dreams of standing on the awards podium in both the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200 individual medley before the meet concluded Feb. 26 at C.T. Branin Natatorium. The son of seven-time Soviet national backstroke champion Vladimir Dolgov, he wasn’t about to let illness keep him from realizing those dreams. He placed seventh in the 200 IM in 1 minute, 55.79 seconds and eighth in the 100 breast

(58.74). The top eight finishers in each event make the podium. “I’m so glad I got a chance to place (in the top eight),” said Dolgov, who narrowly missed a spot on the podium last season, placing ninth in the 200 IM (1:57.01) and 10th in the 100 breast (59.49). “It was great to stand beside so many great swimmers.” Dolgov helped the Patriots score 30 points and tie Milford and Canfield for 21st behind champion Cincinnati St. Xavier (312).

Braves open tournament with 2 blowout wins By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Olentangy High School girls basketball team met little resistance on its way to a Division II district semifinal. The top-seeded Braves breezed past Hamilton Township 71-8 in the second round of the tournament Feb. 23 at Marysville to improve to 19-3 after beating Columbus South 73-10 in the first round Feb. 15. “Games like this allow the kids who are freshmen and sophomores to experience the tournament,” coach John Feasel said after the win over Hamilton Township. “We earned the right to play some of these teams because of the way we played in the regular season. I told the kids this is why we work as hard as we do in those non-league games, so we can have an easier draw.” Olentangy played Lakewood in a district semifinal on March 1. The winner plays third-seeded Hilliard Bradley or eighth-seeded DeSales in a district final at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, March 3, at Ohio Dominican University. The district champion advances to a regional semifinal at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, March 8, at Springfield, where it will play Cincinnati Indian Hill or Dayton Carroll.

The Braves had little trouble getting past Hamilton Township, jumping out to a 28-0 lead and holding a 41-2 advantage at halftime. Feasel played his starting five only part of the first quarter and didn’t employ the full-court press. Fifteen players scored for the Braves, with Courtney Hale and Lydia Hyburg scoring 10 points apiece. “I was pretty happy with the way we played defense,” Feasel said. “We didn’t foul a lot and we kept the intensity the whole game.” •Orange overcame a slow start to defeat Central Crossing 51-31 in the second round of the Division I district tournament Feb. 24 at Westerville Central to improve to 20-2. The third-seeded Pioneers played 10th-seeded Logan in a district semifinal on March 1, with the winner advancing to a district final at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 5, at Olentangy Liberty against fifth-seeded Pickerington North or ninth-seeded Upper Arlington. The district champion advances to a regional semifinal at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 8, at Otterbein University, where it will play Gahanna or Northland. Orange trailed Central Crossing 135 after the first quarter, marking the fifth time that the Pioneers trailed entering the second quarter.

Orange outscored Central Crossing in the second and third quarters by a combined score of 31-4. Taylor Agler had 17 points and Maddy Joseph scored 14. “I was upset we didn’t come out ready to play, but I wasn’t too worried,” Agler said. “We weren’t playing our best (in the first quarter) and you can’t do that in the tournament. “However, it showed us we can come back. That should give us a little more confidence as we go into the district and regional tournaments.” •Liberty coach Ron Florey was worried about fifth-seeded Pickerington North getting off to a strong start when the teams met in the second round of the Division I district tournament Feb. 24 at Hamilton Township. His fears were realized when the Panthers raced out to a 30-9 lead in the first quarter en route to a 73-29 win. North’s

point total marked the most points Liberty allowed this season. North improved to 17-5 and advanced to play ninth-seeded Upper Arlington in a district semifinal on March 1. Liberty finished 5-17 overall. “I had to take a timeout 36 seconds into the game,” Florey said. “That was the last thing I wanted to do. We were a little shell-shocked. They did a lot of things that forced us out of our comfort zone.” Liberty won only one of its first nine games but went 5-9 in its final 14. “At the beginning of the year, we were shaken up a little bit,” sophomore guard Maddie Redwine said. “But by the end of the year, we were giving it our all and playing harder. We started to communicate better.” Liberty, which was 2-11 in games decided by 10 points or fewer, went 311 in the OCC-Cardinal Division to tie Marysville for seventh, behind Olentangy (12-2), Dublin Scioto (10-4), Westerville North (9-5), Westerville Central (7-7), Westerville South (5-9) and Dublin Jerome (4-10). The Patriots lose three seniors in Natalie Lyndes (guard),Abbey Smith (guard) and Allyson VanGundy (guard/forward). VanGundy, who averaged 10 points and finished season as the program’s

all-time leading scorer with 715 points, was second-team all-league. While scoring a program-record 32 points in a 5953 loss to Westerville South on Dec. 3, VanGundy tore the ACL in her right knee. She opted to delay surgery until after the season and returned to the lineup wearing a knee brace after missing six games. Smith averaged 5.7 rebounds. “We relied on our seniors a lot this year,” Redwine said. “Allyson, Abbey and Nat brought us together as a team.” In addition to Redwine, expected to return are juniors Jalynn Guice (guard) and Erin Pfeifer (forward), sophomores Karla Levering (forward), Riley Long (guard) and Kennedy Wilke (forward) and freshman Emily Perry (forward). Levering, who averaged 7.7 points and 5.2 rebounds, was honorable mention all-league. “It’s always difficult to replace seniors, especially ones with their kind of basketball IQ,” Florey said of Lyndes, Smith and VanGundy. “The younger players grew as the season went on. We have some good incoming freshmen and I think we are going to be better from top to bottom.”

Dolgov, sophomore Matthew Lennon, senior Matthew McMahon and Thornhill placed 20th in the 400 free relay (3:16.88). The Liberty girls team failed to score at state after finishing in the top 15 the past two seasons. Upper Arlington scored 286 points to win its seventh consecutive state title. Senior Ali Swafford placed 21st (165.1 points) in diving and junior Alex Clay, who was seeded fifth after winning the district title with 448.2 points, finished 22nd (157.75). Clay’s favorite dive, a front twoand-a-half pike, hurt her chances. “That was the highest scoring dive at the district meet with 53 points, and I nearly failed it at the state meet,” she said. “After I finished, I said, ‘I can’t believe that just happened.’ Every athlete has one of those types of performances. I bought a T-shirt there even though I did so badly, and that’s going to remind me to train hard.” Senior Taylor McCabe was 21st in the 100 breast (1:08.63) and freshman Erin Groves, soph-

omore Olivia Bently and seniors Samantha Gaiss and Alexa Kaufman were 23rd in the 200 medley relay (1:54.18). •His life dictated by seconds and milliseconds, Olentangy senior Greg Guidarelli has a keen awareness of time and knew that it was running out on him at the Division II state meet. Guidarelli turned in some of his best times of the season on his 50 free splits in the 200 medley relay and the 400 free relay. Guidarelli swam a 22.21 in his 50 free split to help the 200 medley relay finish 14th (1:43.45). Also on the relay were juniors Aaron Deistler and Eric Evans and senior Trevor Askins. Coach Steven Gipe then moved Guidarelli from the anchor leg to the leadoff spot in the 400 free relay and he responded by swimming 23.19, as he, sophomore William Paull, Evans and Askins combined to placed 10th (3:21.11). “These were the last races of my career and I just wanted to give it my all,” said Guidarelli, whose split in the 200 medley relay would have placed him 11th in the open 50 free. “When I saw my split (in the 200 medley relay),

I was like, ‘Wow.’I was surprised I went that fast.” The Olentangy boys team scored 23 points to place 25th behind Hunting Valley University School (377). “Just all around we had a great weekend,” Gipe said. “We came in seeded pretty high in a lot of events and we had a couple of surprises.” Junior Eric Evans was one of the biggest surprises for the Braves. He entered the meet as the 24th seed in the 200 IM after placing third (2:04.43) at district and placed 16th (2:03.98). “It was a calculated risk. A lot of people rest just to get into the state meet,” Gipe said of Evans, who also finished 19th in the 100 breast (1:03.1). “But Eric was able to put off his taper a little bit, come in here and do really well.” Askins was seeded fifth in the 200 free after winning the district title in a Division II district record 1:43.44. He finished 16th at state in 1:52.05. Askins also finished 16th in the 100 butterfly (56.25). pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

DeSales honors former teammate, wins district By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Members of the DeSales High School gymnastics team were devastated when they learned that senior classmate and former teammate Milena DiMichaelangelo died unexpectedly Feb. 18 at age 17. DiMichaelangelo competed for the Stallions as a freshman and sophomore and had remained friends with many of her former teammates. DeSales was sluggish and unfocused in practice after attending DiMichaelangelo’s funeral on Feb. 22, and coach Misty Lloyd-Matthews wasn’t sure how effective her squad would be when it competed in the district meet Feb. 26 at Worthington Kilbourne. Therefore, Lloyd-Matthews was thrilled to see her team score a season-best 136.85 points to win its second consecutive district title and eighth championship in 10 years. Thomas Worthington (134.525) placed second, with Kilbourne (134.25), Dublin Coffman (133.35) and Dresden Tri-Valley (132.5) rounding out the top five. “This was an emotional week for us and it was hard to get the girls motivated and focused in practice because they were such close friends with Milena,” Lloyd-Matthews said. “I wasn’t sure how we’d do because we had a bad week of practice, but I think the girls wanted to do well in honor of Milena and they came here and had one of our best overall days of competition. All of them did amazing at district.” DeSales was led by sophomore Kate Miltko and junior Katie Vance. Miltko won vault with a 9.175, finished second in the allaround (35.0) and tied Dublin Jerome’s Hannah Ruddle for second on uneven bars (8.675). Vance won balance beam (9.1), finished third on floor exercise (9.075) and tied Ruddle for fifth in the all-around (34.55). The top three district teams will compete in the state team tournament on Friday, March 4, at Hilliard Bradley. The top eight finishers in each event, including the all-around, will compete in the individual state tournament on Saturday, March 5, at Bradley. DeSales finished eighth (134.85) at state last year behind

My goal is to place.” “I’m just happy for the kids,” Marinelli said. “For me, winning is secondary to doing things the right way and having a firstclass program with first-class people. At state, I just want the kids to stick with their task-oriented goals, because they’ll do well if they reach them. It would be nice to have a couple state placers.” •Olentangy scored 158.5 points to win its second consecutive Division II district tournament, as Uhrichsville Claymont (139) was second Feb. 2526 at Columbus East. “There’s no better thing to set us up for the state tournament than to win a second straight district title,” coach Matt Hammons said. “It’s tougher to stay at the top than to get there, because you get everyone’s best shot when you’re the defending champion, and winning another district title shows that we’re a tough team.” Trevor Fiorucci (119) went 40 to win his second district title in a row and qualify for state for a third consecutive year. Last year, Fiorucci was state runnerup at 103. As a freshman at 103, he finished eighth at state. Anthony Fosco (135) went 40 to win his first district title and Caleb Hetterscheidt (152) went 3-1 to finish second. Al Caserta (130) went 4-1 to place third, and Joey Gadd (160), Alex Stinemetz (215) and Bryan Young (heavyweight) each went 4-2 to place fourth. Last year at state, Hetterscheidt went 1-2 at 152 and Caserta went 0-2 at 125.

champion Brecksville-Broadview Heights (148.05). “I did the (Tsukahara) that I normally do on vault, but I hit it better than I usually do,” Miltko said. “We’re excited to go back to state and we’re hoping to do better than we did last year. Individually, I want to place in the top six in at least one event, too.” Thomas coach Marci Skeen was thrilled after her squad held off Kilbourne to place second at district for the second consecutive year. Freshman Leah Carloni was the Cardinals’ top performer, placing fourth on vault (8.9) and eighth in the all-around (34.375). “We’re so excited right now, because it was so close between us and Kilbourne for second,” Skeen said. “We had our highest vault total that we’ve had all season and that carried us through the rest of the day.” Thomas finished 10th (132.2) at state a year ago. “Our goal was to win our first district title since 1997, but we’re still happy to be going to state,” Cardinals senior Kathleen Reid said. “Our next goal is to place in the top half of the state meet.” Kilbourne coach Cindy Fushimi said she was content

“Our goal is to get as many of our guys on the state podium as possible,” Hammons said. “Trevor, Al and Caleb have all been there before, so they know what to expect, and hopefully, they can share their experience to help prepare the rest of our guys. “Experience is something that put us over the top in several big tournaments and matches this year.” According to Brian Brakeman’s High School Wrestling Forecast, Fiorucci is expected to finish second behind St. Paris Graham’s Micah Jordan. Caserta is rated fifth, Hetterscheidt is rated is sixth, Young is seventh, Fosco is 15th, Gadd is 17th and Stinemetz is 18th. “Trevor is ranked second, but Micah has a lot of pressure on him and Trevor has state finals experience, so his goal is to win a state championship,” Hammons said. “Those rankings are fun conversation, but we don’t take them seriously. ...

with finishing third at district for the second year in a row. Junior Erica Rodriguez led the Wolves by winning floor with a 9.225 and placing seventh in the all-around (34.425). “I’m happy and a little surprised we finished this high, because we started off rough with a lot of falls on beam,” Fushimi said. “But we regrouped and came back strong in our other three events, especially on floor where we had some of our best scores of the season.” The Wolves finished ninth (132.625) at state last season. “We’re going to do a lot of work on beam to prepare for state, and maybe we can try to finish higher than ninth there this year,” Fushimi said. Hilliard Darby senior Meghan Parsley finished first in the allaround (35.55), second on both vault (9.1) and floor (9.125), fourth on beam (8.725) and fifth on bars (8.6). “I’ve never won an event at district before, so I’m ecstatic to win all-around,” Parsley said. “I definitely want to make the podium in something at state, but I’m just going to go and have fun and do my best there.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Toprani, who beat Sidney’s Derek Spangler 5-4 in the consolation final, is only the second Orange wrestler to qualify for state. “Josh wrestled really well and the state tournament has been one of his goals for a long time,” coach Brian Nicola said. “It has been an injury-filled season for Josh, so he worked really hard the last month on getting back to where he needs to be. I felt that he wrestled very safe at district, very smart and focused. He was very physical and tough on top. “I am excited for him and looking forward to him getting the chance to put his foot on the line against the best. “At the state tournament, there really isn’t any reason not to go for it all. He has beaten some top kids this year, but, obviously, has lost to some others. The goal is just to push it this week and get ready to go.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Bowling

Warhawks sweep; Pannell rolls perfect game By FRANK DiRENNA

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

It was a memorable day for a pair of Westerville high school bowling programs at the district tournament Feb. 26 at HP Lanes. For the first time in program history, the Westerville Central boys and girls swept the titles, earning berths to the state tournament on Friday, March 4, and Saturday, March 5, at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl. Meanwhile, Westerville South sophomore Zach Pannell earned his first state berth after finishing second overall with a season-high 749 series to Groveport’s Chris Lane (762). Included in Pannell’s series score was his second career 300 game. Pannell, whose first perfect game came in a non-OHSAA-sanctioned event, rolled the 300 in his first game at district despite competing with an injured right thumb on his throwing hand. He also had games of 225 and 224. “All I was thinking about was throwing good shots,” Pannell said. “I’ve been struggling with this thumb being ripped open.

tice shot, he had a pretty good look on the lanes and then he just started striking like crazy and never stopped,” South assistant coach Mike Craig said. Pannell had hoped to compete at state with his teammates, as the South boys team held the third and final statequalifying spot heading into the Baker games. However, Gahanna rallied by scoring a 1,145 in the Baker games — its top score of the season — to earn the final state berth with a total of 4,026, behind champion Central (4,168) and

runner-up Zanesville Maysville (4,068). South finished fifth (3,953), behind fourth-place Circleville (4,000). Senior Jamie Robinson led Central with a 696 series to place fourth overall. “Our boys worked their butts off, not only (at district), but all year,” Central coach Julie Wells said. “They’ve been working hard, they’ve been working as a team and they put it all out there (at district).” Gahanna will be making its first state appearance as a team. The Lions were

led by senior Jacob Reed, who rolled a 666 series to finish fifth overall. “It was just a good group of kids working together and hitting their spares,” Gahanna coach Bruce Zink said. “We bowled the best Bakers we’ve had. You have to position yourself in the regular games and then you have to hold that position and move ahead in the Bakers. This being our best Bakers allowed us to move on.” •Central dominated the girls competition, scoring a 3,898 to finish well ahead of runner-up Zanesville (3,564) www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Warhawks are looking for their first state championship after finishing second to Youngstown Boardman last season, losing 3-1 in the best-offive state final. “Both teams have more work ahead of us,” coach Wells said. “This is just the progression of the year. Now we have a week to prepare ourselves for state and it’s all about meeting each individual goal along the way. The girls remember last year’s disappointment vividly. They would like a chance at redemption, but we’ve got to get there.” Ready senior Allison Lichwa, a fourtime district qualifier, earned her first trip to state after finishing with a 582 series, securing the first individual statequalifying berth and finishing third overall, behind Wells and Zanesville’s Erika Savage (588). “I knew I had a shot, but it was so unpredictable because I didn’t know how I was going to do (at district) or how anything was going to be played,” Lichwa said. “This means a whole lot because it means I’ve accomplished something from my freshman year to this year.”

Commentary

Wrestlers ride emotional roller coaster at district Joy and relief were among the feelings Olentangy Liberty High School wrestler Jarrod Boone experienced as he walked off the mat after his 30 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 class, landing him a coveted 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 73 in the third-place 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. Boone then participated in more open tournaments than in any previous offseason. Having a more focused attiJARROD tude also has helped Brunner. ULREY 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

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-

MENU by G.A. Benton titude. 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. That’s why I picked the funky Fagiolo Fries appetizer ($6). It was a big pile of “krinkle” cutters doused in a nice, black-pep-

pery homemade pasta and bean soup topped with melted provolone. Yeah, it sounds odd, but really it’s not far from chili cheese fries. Think of it as Italian-Amer-

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)? 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). If you’re considering the latter, here are some uncommon things Catalfino’s

I’m generally not a fan of barbecue on pizza, but Catalfino’s Carolina pulled pork was a winner. I liked how its homemade

thick, tangy and smoky barbecue sauce complemented both the good meat and — wait for it — onion rings! 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.

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Lufti Ayoub, owner of the Pita Hut, cuts the shawarma on Feb. 26. The Pita Hut’s shawarma is seasoned with spices imported from Jerusalem.

Pita Hut in Clintonville has a Jerusalem-style, “As the ethnic population increases, these restauusing alternating layers of dark-meat turkey and rants will remain popular,” he said. lamb. Owner Lutfi Ayoub said the seasoning is Latif said the competition is good, opening up key to the alluring, complex flavor. He uses a blend diners to different cuisines and their spit-roasted of 10 herbs and spices, ground fresh in Israel and dishes. shipped to Columbus. He said he dry-rubs the “Bottom line: the customer wins,” he said. pieces of meat and marinates them, usually overnight, before placing them on the skewer for cooking. 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.

The collaboration between Columbus State Community College’s Delaware campus and Ohio State University Marion’s Delaware branch is still being hammered out, officials said, noting it will benefit students from both institutions. Columbus State and OSU announced in February that OSU Marion’s branch at 7774 Graphics Way, Lewis Center, would relocate to Columbus State’s new campus at 5100 Cornerstone, Delaware. “We are still hammering out the de-

tails but were excited to get the word out because we think it is going to be a terrific partnership,” said Jan Rogers, vice president of student affairs at Columbus State and dean of the Delaware campus. “For Ohio State to be relocating their Delaware area program to our campus allows for great convenience for both student populations.” “We’re looking at shifting our focus so that Columbus State at their Delaware campus will be responsible for most of the lower division courses and OSU will be able to add on to that with a program more focused on the upper division cours-

es,” said Gregory Rose, Ohio State Marion dean and director. Columbus State students who transfer to four-year college and earn a bachelor’s likely would be able to complete that degree at the Delaware campus, depending on the degree being sought. Likewise, those OSU-provided upper level courses will provide the branch’s students an opportunity to complete a bachelor’s at the Delaware campus, depending upon the degree being sought. What the collaboration looks like for each student will be different depending upon what courses and programs the

students take, said Matt Moreau, OSU Marion director of admissions and financial aid. If in a given quarter a student has 10 credit hours taught by OSU professors and 5 hours credit hours by a CSCC professor, the student would pay 10 credit hours of OSU tuition and 5 credit hours of Columbus State tuition. The institutions are working on the long-term details of admission, tuition, financial aid and consortium agreements, Moreau said. Consortium agreements allow students when enrolled at two schools in a quarter to combine hours

QUICK ACTION CAN SAVE SICK CHILD’S HEARING

+ tax & fees

for financial aid purposes. More information is available and updated on www.osumarion.osu.edu and www. cscc.edu. A meeting for students and parents on the details about the collaboration will be held in the spring. “In terms of the larger university system of Ohio and the budget challenges this state is facing, it makes good sense for institutions to take on the role of collaboration with each other because in the long run that’s a more efficient higher education system,” Rogers said.

While the number of cases of pneumococcal meningitis has decreased since the introduction of the PCV7 vaccine in 2001, the disease continues to afflict some youngsters. However, quick action can help restore the hearing of children who become deaf after developing pneumococcal meningitis. Among those left without hearing by the disease, the cochlea tends to harden into bone with the passage of time. As a result, it is difficult to fit these children with cochlear implants. (The cochlea is the inner ear structure that detects pressure impulses and translates them into electrical impulses, which travel along the auditory nerve to the brain.) If cochlear implants are provided within days of a meningitis diagnosis, children’s hearing can be saved.

We have two professional pet stylists, Charlie Cremeans and Holly Shoemaker. Charlie Cremeans is a graduate of Nash Academy of Animal Arts. He is a Certified Master Groomer, specializing in hand scissoring and tender care of elderly pets. He also enjoys raising toy breed dogs. Holly Shoemaker has been a groomer for over 3 years. She attended Columbus State College and studied zoology. She has two wonderful dogs, Dwight a Boston Terrier and Maxims, a min pin.

Lifetime Pet Wellness Center is a full service veterinary hospital and is open Monday thru Friday 7:30am to 7:00pm, Saturday, 7:30am to 4pm,

Hearing loss can adversely affect the development of language and social skills in young children. An audiological evaluation can determine whether a child is a candidate for a cochlear implant. During the evaluation, a hearing test is conducted to determine the type and degree of the child’s hearing loss, and whether a hearing aid might provide greater benefit than an implant. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, we are dedicated to serving the needs of hearing impaired people of all ages. Please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a hearing evaluation. We are located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

County prepares second 911 call center By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Delaware County will secure the equipment necessary to provide a backup location in Orange Township for 911 call center operations. Commissioners on Feb. 21 approved the addition of $117,173 to the $656,425 contract between the county and Windstream Communications, a equipment dealer in Columbus. Funding for the equipment comes from the five-year, 0.45-mill operating levy for county 911 services that expires at the end of the year and from cell phone surcharges allocated by the state. A backup location for 911 communications became necessary after the county switched to a new phone sys-

tem, Frontier Communications. The 911 system’s dispatchers and equipment currently are in a county building at 10 Court St., said emergency communications director Bob Greenlaw. The Court Street location probably would take a couple of weeks to replace if it went out of action, Greenlaw said. With the second site in Orange, operations would continue virtually uninterrupted. The Court Street center could be shut down by “something simple,” he said, such as a broken pipe. As a matter of routine, equipment at the Orange Township location at 7700 Gooding Blvd. will be operating but unmanned, Greenlaw said. That would ensure its rapid use if it is needed.

The county made an agreement with the township to use the space in the lower part of the building. “It gives us a place to go if this place becomes uninhabitable,” Greenlaw said. The Orange Township facility will get six laptops to enable remote connection. “It gives us a lot of flexibility,” Greenlaw said. Greenlaw said the entire backup location project is budgeted at $160,000. Besides phone lines, the Orange facility will need furniture, a radio link, and a recording system for calls. Greenlaw said he still needs quotes for the additional equipment. He estimated that the radio link would cost about $10,000 and the recording system would cost about $20,000. Greenlaw said he hopes that the Or-

ange facility will be ready in about 90 days. The county is asking for a renewal of the 911 levy on the May ballot. Though the backup project is being paid for with funds from the current levy, Greenlaw said the renewal is necessary for ongoing operations such as salaries and maintenance. Also Feb. 21, commissioners approved a $5,000 grant for Main Street Delaware, a nonprofit downtown historic preservation and revitalization organization. Commissioner Ken O’Brien opposed the grant, telling ThisWeek that he’s against giving away money that the county might need in the future. “When we had lots and lots of money that may have been an appropriate thing,” he said. O’Brien said that Main Street Delaware

should be a self-sustaining organization. He also said the organization’s affiliate organization, Heritage Ohio, wants equal distribution of sales tax across the state. “I’m not in support of that,” he said. Jeff Siegler, director of revitalization for Heritage Ohio, on Feb. 25 said he called O’Brien to tell him Heritage Ohio has not called for any statewide distribution of sales tax. Main Street Delaware president Jesse Carter said the $5,000 grant will go toward public programs including First Fridays, farmers’markets, and the Christmas parade. “We are extremely grateful for the county’s support,” Carter said. Carter said Main Street Delaware has seen a decline in small donations.
