Review Commission’s recommendations

Charter changes in council’s hands By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers A long-awaited package of proposed changes to the Bexley city charter is in the hands of city council. Members of the Bexley Charter Review Commission handed over the recommendations during a special city council meeting March 1. They began a line-by-line review of the city charter in November 2009. There were no surprises, including a formal recommendation that the city abandon the practice of electing an au-

ditor and instead switch to a finance director, appointed by the mayor and confirmed by city council. Discussion on that topic alone dominated the meeting. Bexley auditor Gary Qualmann, who serves the city in a part-time capacity, has been a vocal critic of an appointed finance director. Qualmann has two years of a four-year term remaining and earns $26,000 a year. Beecher Hale, a full-time appointed employee of the city who reports to Qualmann, earns $80,848 as the city’s finance director. Charter Review Commission chairman John Offenberg and commission

member Don Brosius both insisted the recommendation was made in the best interest of the city. They said they had no issues with Qualmann or Hale personally and praised them for their service to the city. While commission members have the authority to recommend changes to the city charter, they do not have the final say. City council will review the recommendations then decide which issues, if any, will be presented to the voters in November. Council may choose to place some, all or none of the recommendations on the ballot. Only the

voters can approve changes to the charter, which was last reviewed 12 years ago. Council president Jeff McClelland said he does not have a precise timeline for reviewing the recommendations. He said the process would likely evolve out of council’s finance and judiciary committee. The commission also recommended: Granting city council the authority to name a temporary replacement for a council member who is absent for an extended period of time. That issue was referred to as “The Lampke Rule” be-

Bexley’s Gould climbs in national rankings

By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers When Bexley High School freshman Sam Gould is having a bad day, he turns to rock climbing or “bouldering.” “It is really almost like a meditation,” he said. “Like when you are angry or have lots of emotion it calms you down. It’s added to my life. The climbing community is just awesome.” Gould is participating in the Junior Indoor Bouldering Series Championships March 11-13 in Philadelphia. Founded in 2001, JIBS offers young competitive climbers their own bouldering league. According to the juniorbouldering.com website, the championship is “a unique event which rewards young competitive climbers for their dedication, their passion and their talents as the future stars of competitive climbing.” Competitors are eligible to receive financial assistance in the form of cash and gear, according to the site. There are three categories of competition, ages 11 and under; ages 12 to 14; and ages 15 to 18, Gould said. He competes in the 12 to 14 age brackSee GOULD, page A2

Newly appointed Bexley City Schools Board of Education member Susan Zanner knows all too well what it’s like to be unable to serve the remainder of a term. Board members voted 4-0 on Feb. 23 to appoint Zanner to the vacant seat on the five-member board created by the resignation of Diane Peterson. Zanner resigned from her seat on the school board in December 2006 for health reasons. She was first elected in November 1999, was re-elected in 2003 and served as board president in 2004. “I had to leave when I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Zanner said. “Dr. Mike Levy stepped forward in a much similar situation.” Zanner said with her service on the board she is taking care of some unfinished business. “I always felt as if there was some unfinished business in my service,” she said. “I truly was honored (to be appointed). Serving on the board has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.” Peterson, a two-term board member, resigned Feb. 14, citing personal reasons. Her resignation was effective Feb. 28. She has not elaborated on her decision to leave

the board since the announcement of her resignation. According to state law, the board was required to apSusan point a reZanner placement within 30 days of the effective date of Peterson’s resignation. Since more than half of Peterson’s term remains, Zanner can only serve through Dec. 31, 2011. The remaining two years of the unexpired term will be on the ballot in November. Zanner will not be a candidate for the final two years of Peterson’s term, board president Joan Fishel announced at the Feb. 23 meeting. Zanner told ThisWeek she is working to get up to speed on the issues facing the district. “I’m just now getting into the communication loop,” she said. “It would not have been appropriate for me do that before the first of March. Obviously the pressing needs are to manage the budget and the taxpayer’s best interests.” Zanner said she originally ran for a seat on the board of education in 1999 because she is passionate about education.

Bexley Public Library plans job-help events

Bexley Farmers Market to expand at new location

The Bexley Public Library is partnering with other central Ohio libraries to offer a Job Help Week, March 14-18. The Bexley library will offer two programs – “Landing Your First Job” and “Nail That Interview” – during Job Help Week. On March 15 “Landing Your First Job” will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. A representative from New Directions Career Center will provide job-hunting strategies for new college and high school graduates entering today’s

job market. “Obviously the (bad) economy has hit many portions of the population,” said Cynthia Kazalia, New Directions employment specialist. “I think that sometimes the younger generation has been overlooked.” In some cases jobs that have traditionally gone to high school students or college graduates are being filled by someone whose job has been outsourced, an individual who needs a job just to pay the bills, Kazalia said. “They take a job in another industry that has traditionally been for high school students or new college graduates,” Kazalia said.

The program is designed to help graduates understand the job market, how to search for a job online and have a resume that reflects the skills they have gathered through high school or college activities that are transferable to their career, she said. College graduates may have gained new skills through volunteer work or affiliations with sports and other organizations, she said. Participants will gain a better understanding of the importance of networking by making contact through religious affiliations or See HELP, page A2

Bexley residents will have a new place to get their fresh fruits and vegetables on Thursdays from May 19 through October. The new market will be held in the vacant lot owned by Plaza Properties across from the Bexley Gateway at Parkview Avenue and Main Street from 4 to 7 p.m. each week, according to economic development director Bruce Langner. “We believe there will be plenty of room for vendors and people to park,” he said. “We (also) encourage people who can, to walk to it.” Langner said the new Bexley Farmers Market is organized by a group of 20 to 25 volunteers. Bexley resident Amy Bodiker is a member of the committee. She was born and raised in Bex-

She spent five years as the director of an organization called Chefs Collaborative that brings culinary organic farmers and chefs together, she said. “I think farmers markets are the new town square,” Bodiker said. “They (offer) a direct connection to the local food supply. They are a place where members of the community can get together regularly and see one another.” The Bexley Farmers Market replaces the market traditionally held on Saturdays on Main Street

BHS grad named Tennessee Bexley sets kindergarten education commissioner registration dates, locales Bexley High School graduate Kevin Huffman has been named the commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Education by Gov. Bill Haslam. Huffman currently serves as the executive vice president of public affairs for Teach for America (TFA). Founded in 1990, TFA recruits top college graduates and young professionals to work in high-need classrooms across America and become advocates for education reform. Huffman began his career in education in 1992 as a Teach for America corps member in Hous-

ton, where he taught bilingual first- and second-grade students. After his TFA service, he earned a law degree and worked as an associate at Hogan & Hartson in Washington, D.C., where he practiced with the firm’s education law group. He has been on staff at Teach for America for the past 11 years and is the first TFA alum to assume the role of a chief state school officer. “Kevin combines the experience of having been a bilingual first- and second-grade teacher to helping oversee a national or-

ganization with 1,400 full-time employees and a budget of $212million,” Haslam said. “Kevin’s leadership has been critical to Teach For America’s growth and impact,” said Wendy Kopp, founder and CEO of Teach For America. “From his time in the corps to today, his contributions have been invaluable, and we look forward to all that he will be able to accomplish for the children of Tennessee.” Huffman, 40, and his wife, Amy, are the parents of two daughters and are currently expecting a third child.

GOULD Continued from page A1 et. Competitors can qualify for the national competition by participating in one of three regional championships or by receiving a letter inviting them to compete. Gould received a letter. Gould’s mother, Anne Reckling, said she is proud of her son and his accomplishments, noting it takes tremendous focus and hard work. This is his first time competing in the Junior Indoor Bouldering Series. He has participated in the USA Climbing American Bouldering Series in three regional competitions. The USA series uses ropes, while bouldering has no ropes, so the route is closer to the ground, Gould said. The USA Climbing League caters to both adults and youth while the Junior Indoor League is for youth only. For the competition Gould will have to climb four routes. He will be given four minutes to climb each route. The most challenging part is the isolation, Gould said. Before going out to climb their routes, competitors are required to sit in isolation for five minutes. “I’ve been in isolation for three hours at one time,” he said. “You are not allowed any outside contact.” Gould has been climbing for two and a half years. His family likes to vacation in Colorado and sent him to a climbing camp there for a week. “I couldn’t stop climbing after that,” he said.

www.BYERSKIA.com

He practices at Vertical Adventures in Worthington five nights a week. Gould said he climbs for an hour-and-a-half to two hours, followed by weight or core training and stretching. He shares a love of climbing with his family. His 10-year-old brother Asher Gould and mother both climb. “My mom is really into it,” Gould said. “She climbs a lot. She is there (at Vertical Adventures) about three days a week.” Reckling said she has been climbing as regularly as her son. She used to live in Colorado in the early 1990s but says she was too scared to rock climb at the time. “Once Sam started getting really into climbing and I had to drive him to the gym all the time, I just started climbing, too,” she said. Reckling said rock climbing was difficult but after a few months her fear decreased. “I boulder some, but prefer top-rope climbing,” she said. “Too many boulderers hurt their ankles when they fall. Plus bouldering takes more strength because the overhangs are very intense.” Climbing is an intense sport, Reckling said, because you really are only competing against yourself, unless like Sam you participate in a competition. “The routes are a big puzzle and it takes mental and physical strength, flexibility and power to complete them,” she said. “I can totally lose myself and the world when I’m climbing. My focus is on the route I’m attempting.” tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Parents of children who will be five years old by Sept. 30, 2011, and who live in Bexley may enroll their children in the Bexley City School District kindergarten program. Parents are advised that Ohio requires students to successfully complete a kindergarten program prior to being admitted to first grade. Children may attend public or private kindergarten programs to meet this requirement. Bexley City Schools offers a full-day kindergarten program, in keeping with the recommendations of the Ohio Department of Education. A parent/guardian may choose for his/her student to attend kindergarten half day, while independently providing additional enrichment; Bexley Schools does not provide a half-day educational program. Kindergarten registration for school year 201112 will be held on Tuesday, April 5, for students with last names beginning with the letters A-L and on Wednesday, April 6, for last names beginning with M-Z. Registration on each day will be from 9 to 11a.m. or from 1 to 3p.m. Children who will be six by Sept. 30, 2011, and did not attend Bexley schools kindergarten may register for first grade at the same time. Parents should bring the following items to the elementary school at the time of registration: the child’s original birth certificate (to be copied); proof of residency; the child’s immunization records; and, if applicable, custodial papers. Locations for registration are: • For residents living south of Main Street, Montrose Elementary School, 2555 E. Main St., phone (614) 237-4226. • For residents living between Main Street and Broad Street, Cassingham Elementary School, 250 S. Cassingham Road, phone (614) 237-4266. • For residents living north of Broad Street, Maryland Elementary School, 2754 Maryland Ave., phone (614) 237-3280. Any student who is registering for the first time in the Bexley City Schools — including first graders who have completed a kindergarten

program elsewhere — must produce all of the documents listed below to confirm residency status. These are photocopied and kept on file at each school site. Each document must bear the Bexley home address of the parent or guardian. • Completed rental, lease, or proof of ownership (i.e., tax bill, mortgage payment, or county auditor property information). • Check from a current checking account (please black out checking account number). • Utility receipt or utility deposit receipt. • Drivers’ license Early entrance opportunities are available for children whose fifth birthday falls between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 for kindergarten, or whose sixth birthday falls between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 for admission to first grade. Requests for early entrance consideration should be made in writing to the appropriate building principal on or before April 15. Note: Parents are encouraged to secure preschool enrollment, if applicable, as early entrance decisions are not always made prior to enrollment deadlines. A Bexley City Schools student may attend a school other than the one indicated by his/her street address. However, students must register at the school according to their residence before applying for IntraDistrict Open Enrollment consideration. Applications for attendance at a building other than the one to which the student is assigned must be filed with the superintendent after May 31 and by Aug. 1 for the next school year. Requests are considered based on class sizes in the receiving school. Parents will be notified by Aug. 19 whether their requests will be granted. An application can be requested from Amy Nance in the board of education office at 614-231-7611.

MARKET

FOIL FENCING

Continued from page A1 in front of City Hall. That event was operated by the Pearl Alley Growers’Association. Langner said there are a number of other markets on Saturday including the North Market and Canal Winchester. Having it on Thursday means a little less competition, he said. Secondly, he said, there was a need for a Thursday farmers market for people who want to buy their fresh produce for the whole weekend. Organizers hope holding the market on the north side of Main Street will help capture the attention of commuters. “We get a lot of traffic on Main Street at that time,” Langner said. Organizers would like to have at least 10 to 15 vendors participating in the new market, Langn-

er said. “A good farmers market, it was told to us, will have about 20,” he said. The Saturday farmers market operated by Pearl Alley typically had six to eight vendors per event, Langner said. The season has also been extended. The Pearl Alley market ran from July through October. The new market starts in May. “This way we believe we will get some of the early summer crops, food that is available in May and June,” Langner said. There will also be an emphasis on the community, Langner said. One Thursday a month will feature a children’s activity. Other dates will feature a service organization such as the American Red Cross, a community group such as the Bexley Area Chamber

of Commerce and food demonstrations, Langner said. The activities are a big part of the farmers market, Bodiker said. Organizers hope by offering different attractions they will keep visitors at the market a little longer. “We are giving different organizations in the community the ability to share the work that they are doing and the services that they offer,” Bodiker said. Some markets tend to be overrun by crafts or other activities that have nothing to do with food and farming, Bodiker said. That won’t be the case with the new Bexley event, where the focus will be on the food. “I know folks are hungry for good food,” she said.

Burford. Helping run the levy campaign will help in her work with the board, Zanner said. “Quite honestly with the levy campaign I had to be really immersed in the five-year forecast and in the financial needs of the district,” she said. “I think I was also able to really hear from the community about what they valued and what their own personal pressures were and I will carry that with me too.” A former teacher, Zanner is the parent of two Bexley High School

graduates and has another student who will graduate from BHS this spring. “I think I have a big picture,” she said. “I have kids who have gone on to be successful as have generations of Bexley kids.” Zanner said Peterson was her student when she attended Bexley City Schools and says her work as a board member was exemplary. “I am honored to serve out her term,” Zanner said. tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Some of the basics taught ‘office boys’ still good today “How to answer telephone calls and the importance of always being courteous, even to the ED most peevish caller. LENTZ “How to manipulate the adding machine; how to make mimeograph copies; how to file papers and clippings; how to open and sort the mail and place it neatly for the man ‘higher-up’. “How to write, fold and stamp letters with accurate neatness.” Reading through all of this, anybody who has recently worked in an office will notice how much has changed from a century ago. First and foremost, there will soon be as many office girls as office boys. And while complete mastery of office machines is important, most of them do not today require all that much oiling. Similarly, most adding machines have been replaced by pocket calculators and the mimeograph is now a museum exhibit rather than a means of making copies. Despite all of these technical differences between that time and our own, Homer Niday left his students with certain pieces of advice: “Be ‘Johnnie on the Spot’ when needed.” “The business world has no place for the laggard, even a new office boy.” “When you go anywhere to represent your firm, show that you are proud of it.” “When you answer a telephone or greet a caller, be courteous and pleasant.” “Remember that office boys grow up very gradually and that there is sure promotion for the lad who is sincere, energetic and reliable.” “Study your employer’s busi-

ness and interests and aim to make yourself valuable to him from the very first day you enter his office” While most of us will not be called upon soon to oil a typewriter or operate a mimeograph, the general advice as to deportment and discipline given by Mr. Niday is just as valuable today as it was more than a century ago. The newspaper article from more than century ago concluded optimistically, “That the business world has no place for laggards, even a new office boy, is the A B C D of this school for hustlers. That there is always room ‘higher up’ for the faithful boy is an incentive which is not overlooked. “The boys in Mr. Niday’s class will certainly be well qualified for their work when they ‘graduate.’ The course is six months long with lessons twice each week, Tuesday evenings and Thursday evenings … “A few years hence, the commercial life of the city will doubtless be represented in many ways and in various locations throughout the world by the men who, as boys, received their first lessons in business at the “Business Boys Training School” at the Columbus YMCA.” In a few years, the business school of the Columbus YMCA would leave and over the course of time become Franklin University. The YMCA itself would move in 1924 to its new home on Spring Street. The old building would be removed and an entirely new building would be built to be the home of The Columbus Dispatch. And Mr. Niday’s boys? While their names remain unknown, I would like to believe that they went on to some success. They certainly seemed to be well prepared to do so. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

EASTON TOWN CENTER Personal Training Studio your goal… your focus… your life…

About a century ago, Columbus, like much of the rest of America, was coping with change. A mostly rural agricultural society was rapidly becoming an urban and industrial nation. The process had begun shortly after the end of the American Civil War and would not really end until well into the 20th century. In fact, it would not be until well into the 1920s that most Ohioans would be living in or near its large cities. But at the turn of the century, the great need of new businesses was not simply for more workers with strong backs and boundless energy, although such people would always be welcome. Just as important was the need for a whole new generation of white collar workers to help handle the administrative and managerial tasks of the new world of “modern business.” In an era when most young people did not go much beyond the eighth grade in the public school system, large numbers of students missed out on the useful training that a “business course” in Columbus’s one and only high school could provide. But the need for young people in the new offices created by new businesses was still there. To meet that need, other community organizations tried to be of help. Important among them was the Young Men’s Christian Association or YMCA. Brought to Columbus in 1855 by Henry B. Carrington — a man who would later go on to some renown in the Civil War and the Indian Wars that followed — the YMCA became an important social organization. By 1893, it had established itself in a nice building at 30 S. Third St. in Columbus. In this building, young men could participate in physical education programs, religious meetings and a wide variety of educational courses. One course, taught by Homer Niday, was called “The Business Boys Training School.” Mr. Niday, the head bookkeeper at the American Savings Bank, asserted that with his course, “the question of breaking in a new office boy is settled to the satisfaction of all concerned.” Looking at a summary of Mr. Niday’s course that appeared in the local press at the time, we can learn something of both what has changed and what has not changed in local business education. “At present there are 15 boys in the ‘Business Boys Training School’ ranging in age from 15 to 18 years. Promptly at seven of o’clock, they came in — brightfaced, alert, quick-stepping youngsters, whose every attitude showed they were there for business. “ And what exactly did these young men — and they were all men, as the office was no place for a lady — learn in their classes at the YMCA? “Complete mastery of typewriters of all makes, and the clever art of keeping the machines clean, oiled and in good order, proper punctuation and neatness with all copy “ “How to write a check; how to indorse a check; how to give a receipt; how to deposit money at the bank and how to give out change.

BATTLE FOR THE BALL

Special service to focus on unity between races By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Police boost enforcement at central Ohio scrap yards By GARY SEMAN JR.

Columbus police have stepped up efforts to catch thieves of copper and air-conditioners by staking out scrap yards in the city. Lt. Michael Woods, who is in charge of property crimes with the Columbus Division of Police, said the property-recovery unit and community-response teams are spot-checking the 15 or so scrap yards in the city limits. The program has already reported some success, as several air-conditioning units have been recovered and officers questioned four individuals suspected of stealing the merchandise, Woods said. “It’s a very good turnaround,” Woods said. “It’s a combination of the community-response teams working with detectives who are a little more familiar with what they’re looking for.” He said increased presence and intermittent visits should send a message to crooks that officers are actively pursuing the crimes. Helping police in their quest is a web-based search engine that notifies law enforcement when something is scrapped and who is dropping it off, Woods said. Per state law, scrap yards are required to document information about every transaction, such as the time and date, and name of the person dropping off the material. Theft of copper and other metals, many of which can be found in air conditioners, has become a serious issue in Columbus, Woods said. Thieves are fetching roughly $4 a pound for copper, making it one of the most

tioner units are valuable, too, he said. One problem with air conditioners is that some residents don’t find them missing until the first hot day of the year, Woods said. That leaves police at a disadvantage because they don’t know if the units, the components inside or other metals were stolen. Dave Cooper, chair of the

stolen from the Beechcroft Center where he owns a business. Cooper said the spot checks at scrap yards sound encouraging. “We appreciate all the efforts of the Columbus police department, their ongoing challenge of trying to catch the perpetrators,” he said. “And we’re providing them with information as soon as it becomes available.”

In her 2010 book “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,” civil rights lawyer and legal scholar Michelle L. Alexander states that more African Americans are under control of the correctional system today than were enslaved in 1850. “Michelle Alexander’s brave and bold new book paints a haunting picture in which dreary felon garb, post-prison joblessness and loss of voting rights now do the stigmatizing work once done by colored-only water fountains and legally segregated schools,” according to a review by Harvard Law School professor Lani Guinier. The author, who lives in New Albany, holds a joint appointment to the Moritz College of Law and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Ohio State University. Faced with that startling statistic, the members of the racial diversity task force at the First Unitarian Universalist Church are sponsoring a special service on Sunday, March 13, at 7 p.m. It is titled “Fixing a Broken World: A Racial Unity Service.” The church is located at 93 W. Weisheimer Road.

“Basically we wanted to get people of faith, whether they are Christian or non-Christian, involved more in justice-related issues such as immigration and criminal justice issues,” said Ray Nandyal of the racial diversity task force. Speakers for the special gathering will include State Sen. Charleta B. Tavares, D-Columbus; the Rev. Jeffrey P. Kee of the New Faith Baptist Church of Christ; the Rev. Gini Lohmann Bauman of Church World Service; and the Rev. Eric Brown of Woodland Christian Church. Professor Alexander’s book points out, according to Nandyal, that “as a nation we are hurting ourselves” and that “even those who call themselves religious have become low on compassion these days.” “We are trying to hold ourselves true to what we believe in, which is showing love to fellow human beings,” Nandyal said. The members of the panel for the “Fixing a Broken World” service were selected for their own diversity, in terms of faiths and race, the UU church member from Gahanna added. “We want to become catalysts to change, bring people together and let them have conversations on what needs to be done,” said

Nandyal, who is also on the board of the Columbus Metropolitan Area Church Council. Nandyal said that he hopes the unity service will serve as a stepping stone to an eventual antipoverty summit between groups trying to help the urban poor and those serving people in Appalachia. Such a conference has never been held before in Ohio, according to the racial diversity task force member. Nandyal admitted that the people who would participate in and turn out for an event such as the one being held Sunday evening probably aren’t the ones who need to be convinced of the need for more work in the area of racial unity. “There will be some preaching to the choir, but the choir will be getting their hands dirty at the end of the event,” Nandyal said. “Even if we add a few people to the movement, if you will, as a nation we will become stronger.” A snack reception will follow the program at the church. Those attending are asked to bring a beverage or food item to share. For additional information, call Nandyal at 594-3230.

Commentary

Patriots overcame several obstacles Anthony Bergamesca clutched the district championship trophy tightly to his chest as he skated off the ice March 5 at the Dispatch Ice Haus. Moments earlier, the defenseman for the Olentangy Liberty High School hockey team nearly had fallen with the award. Bergamesca is one of nine SCOTT seniors for the Patriots, who HENNEN defeated Dublin Jerome 3-2 in double overtime to earn the program’s first state tournament berth in only their fourth varsity season. He and the other seniors — defensemen Keaton Allmaras, Robert Koehler and Alec Vidrick, forwards Mitch Helton, Mike Mullier, Jimmy Ruska and Grant Woods, and goaltender Bryan Finneran — helped lay the groundwork for the program three years ago as freshmen and their dedication has been rewarded with a trip to the final four. The Patriots, who are 27-8-1, play top-ranked Toledo St. Francis (32-4-1) in a state semifinal at noon Saturday, March 12, at Nationwide Arena. The state championship will be played at noon the following day. “Yeah, I almost fell with (the trophy), but I wasn’t letting that happen,” Bergamesca said. “We’ve gone through so much to get here.” The Patriots lost several players to injury this season, including Helton to a knee injury in the preseason and Woods to a shoulder injury in January. More recently, junior forward Nick Ramsey was lost to a leg injury that required surgery and junior forward Reed Slinger was lost to a neck injury, which he sustained when his head struck the ice during a 5-0 win over Troy in the second round of the district tournament Feb. 20 at the Ice Haus. “When Reed was injured, it affected all of us, watching him taken off the ice on a stretcher,” said Bergamesca, the team captain. “Reed has always been one of the players who was always there to pick us up on the ice

Bexley’s Charlotte Myers (front) signed to play soccer at Miami University, but also is hoping to compete with the RedHawks in track and field.

Girls Soccer

Lions’ Myers, DeLong pick schools By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The question never was whether Bexley High School senior Charlotte Myers was going to play a sport in college. The question always was which one. Myers is a three-time Division II state qualifier in track and field who reached the awards podium last spring in the 400 meters (fourth, 56.41 seconds) and long jump (sixth, 17 feet, 1 1/2 inches) as well as in the 1,600 relay with classmates Abby Fagin, Kendra Wilson and Elisa Mathews (seventh, 3:59.52). However, soccer is Myers’ first love. “I picked up track because I loved running and to keep me in shape for soccer,” Myers said. “After (a 4-0 loss to Cincinnati Madeira in a Division II regional semifinal) in my senior year, I didn’t want that to be my last soccer game.” Myers, a midfielder, would like to compete in both sports at Miami University next fall. She recently signed a letter of intent to play soccer for the RedHawks but also is pursuing a chance to compete in track at the school. Joining Myers as a Division I soccer signee is classmate Meredith DeLong, who recently signed to play for Ohio See HENNEN, page B2 State.

Bexley’s Meredith DeLong (left) and Charlotte Myers are all smiles after signing to play collegiate soccer in a ceremony at the school on Feb. 9. DeLong will play for Ohio State and Myers will play at Miami University.

Myers said Miami first caught her attention when her family dropped off her older brother, Baylor, at the Oxford campus for school. “I remember how beautiful the campus was,” Myers said. “It has that smalltown feel, but there’s a lot to do there. When the opportunity came, I took advantage of it.” Last year, Miami finished 13-7-2 over-

all, its most wins since 2002, and captured its first MAC-East Division title with a 5-4-2 record. “They have a pretty young team coming back for next year and Charlotte’s looking to add to it,” Lions girls soccer coach Scott Dempsey said. “They saw she was a tremendous athlete who played with a lot of pace and physicality.”

During their four years, Myers and DeLong helped guide the Lions to a 707-10 mark, four district titles and the 2009 state championship. The state title came when Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown, which defeated the Lions 2-1 in the state final, had to forfeit the title because it had used an ineligible player. Myers finished her prep career with 70 goals — second most in program history — and was named first-team all-district the past two seasons. She made second-team all-state as a junior and was the Division II district Player of the Year and first-team all-state last season. However, Myers found that she was in more demand as a track athlete than as a soccer player. She had garnered interest in soccer from Miami and several Division III schools, but Kentucky, Cincinnati, Loyola University in Chicago, Bucknell and Butler were among the schools interested in her for track. But Myers began to understand how much soccer meant to her when it was almost taken away from her. Prone to concussions, she sustained her first concussion playing club soccer in the spring of her freshman year. See SOCCER, page B2

St. Charles Roundup

Sanders comes up short in pair of state matches By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Reaching the Division I state wrestling tournament is one thing, but St. Charles Preparatory School senior Ryan Sanders found out that competing there is another. Sanders, who won a district championship at 215 pounds on Feb. 26 at Hilliard Darby, finished 0-2 at state, which concluded March 5 at Ohio State. “I don’t think he was ready for it because it is a big jump from district to state,” coach Joe Moyer said. “You can talk about it being more physical and about it being six minutes of constant action, but it’s something you have to experience.” Sanders lost to Lorain’s Amon Willis 5-2 in the opening round. Willis went on to finish eighth. In his consolation match, Sanders lost to Madison’s Josh Ransom 6-5. “The first match was physical and fair, but (Sanders) just lost,” Moyer said. “In the second match, he wrestled four-and-a half minutes instead of five and that’s what got him. You can’t do that at the state tournament.” The Cardinals did not score at state. Lakewood St. Edward won the team title (187 points)

ahead of Massillon Perry (109). Sanders finished the season 35-10. “It really was great that Ryan even made it to state,” Moyer said. “He was never mentioned in the (Brian) Brakeman (High School Wrestling Forecast) and

ended up winning sectional and district titles. No one other than Ryan, his family and coaches ever thought that he would make it this far.” •The hockey team finished 17-14-3 overall, losing to thirdseeded Dublin Coffman 3-1 in

the third round of the district tournament Feb. 26 at the Dispatch Ice Haus. Senior forward Tyler Brady scored and sophomore goaltender Teo Juratovac had 37 saves. The Cardinals were 7-4-2 in the Capital Hockey Conference

and tied Upper Arlington (7-41-1) for fifth with 16 points. Dublin Jerome and Olentangy Liberty tied for the CHC title (121, 24 points), with Cincinnati Moeller third (11-2, 22) and Coffman fourth (10-2-1, 21). St. Charles and UA were followed by Olentangy Orange (6-4-3, 15), Olentangy (7-6, 14), Thomas Worthington (5-7-1, 11), Gahanna (4-9, 8), DeSales (3-9-0-1, 7), Kilbourne (2-11, 4), Dublin Scioto (1-12, 2) and Watterson (0-13, 0). Brady led the team in scoring with 43 goals and 16 assists followed by junior forward Eric Cooke (23 goals, 19 assists), junior forward Graham Dolven (18, 23), freshman forward Ryan Cleary (10, 20), senior defenseman Jake Wade (9, 19), junior forward Brennan Weiner (13, 9), senior forward Connor Organ (8, 19), junior forward Julien Lacasse (11, 11) and freshman forward Daniel Schirtzinger (6, 15). The program had five seniors in defenseman Alex Bowman (1, 7), Brady, Organ, forward Matt Sullivan (2 assists) and Wade. “We have a small senior class, but it was a really good one,” said coach Art Roehrenbeck, who completed his second sea-

son. “They put in the work throughout the year to make themselves and their team better and hopefully next year we will have a group that learned how to lead from these guys.” Brady was second-team allleague and Wade was honorable mention all-league. Juniors Evan Cleary (defenseman), Nate Koval (defenseman), Patrick Travis (forward) and Weiner as well as Juratovac and Schirtzinger were first-team all-league academically. Cooke, sophomore Will Stechschulte (defenseman) and freshman Ryan Cleary (forward) were second team. Expected to return are juniors Evan Cleary (1, 6), Koval (2, 12), Scott Russell (forward; 1, 9) and Travis (5, 7), sophomores Kevin Dugan (forward), Richard Griffin (goalie), Landon Gruszewski (forward), Stechschulte and Daniel Schmeling (defenseman) and freshmen defensemen Ryan Brady and Elliot Cooke (4, 6). “We have a solid group of kids who should lead us next year,” Roehrenbeck said. “We had 12 kids this year who were firstyear letterwinners and we had pretty good results, all things See CARDINALS, page B2

Unicorns racked up postseason firsts By CORY STEGER

against Attica Seneca East on

ThisWeek Community Newspapers March 9 at Lexington.

The postseason produced a series of firsts for the Columbus School for Girls basketball team. The Unicorns advanced to their first district semifinal, first district final and won three tournament games for the first time. Their season ended March 5 with a 74-45 loss at Olentangy Orange to top-seeded Africentric, which won its seventh consecutive district title and second in Division III. CSG finished 12-12 overall. Africentric moved to 21-2 and advanced to a regional semifinal

Africentric led Columbus School for Girls just 29-24 at halftime, but the Nubians took control by outscoring the Unicorns 18-9 in the third quarter 18-9 and 27-12 in the fourth. Africentric closed the third on a 10-4 run and had a 12-0 surge to begin the fourth. The Unicorns went 2-for-11 from the floor in the fourth and committed four turnovers before their first field-goal attempt of the period. Enri Small led CSG with 14 points and Imani Caldwell scored 12.

“Our defensive intensity was great and we were getting some great looks, but the shots weren’t falling for us,” said CSG coach Stephanie Jones, who finished her first season with the program. “(Africentric) kept us off of the offensive boards. (Africentric) is a great team, they’re much deeper than us and we just ran out of gas. Once we lost our legs we made some silly turnovers and let (Africentric) pull away.” To advance to its first district championship, Columbus School for Girls defeated Mount Gilead 57-33 in a semifinal March 1. The Unicorns opened with

an 18-5 run, led 23-13 at halftime and outscored Mount Gilead 20-9 in the third quarter. Caldwell scored 17 points and Rosie Connor and Ellen Haenszel both scored 10. “Having a good start (against Mount Gilead) was important for us,” Connor said. “We never thought we’d make it this far.” Columbus School for Girls defeated Newark Catholic 4734 in the second round Feb. 24 and opened the tournament with a 41-29 win over AmandaClearcreek on Feb. 17. Amanda-Clearcreek had beaten CSG in the regular season, 42-41 on Feb. 3.

“We did what’s never been done before,” Caldwell said of the three tournament wins. “It was a rocky start and everything, but we worked hard and we wanted this really bad.” The Unicorns started 1-6 but played better as they got acclimated to Jones’ system. CSG finished fifth (1-7) in the CCL behind Watterson (7-1), Hartley (6-2), DeSales (4-4) and Ready (2-6). CSG loses seniors Caldwell (guard), Haenszel (post player), Taylor Lafollette (guard), Sammy Ramey (post player) and Small (guard). Small was first-team all-district and Cald-

well was third-team all-district. Key players expected to return include juniors Jacqueline Carroll (post player), Connor (guard) and JaMilla Holland (guard) and sophomore Jordan Nielsen (forward). Finishing as district runnersup and with a .500 record surpassed the goals Jones set before the season. “Being district runners-up, that’s the first time in school history,” Jones said. “(During the tournament) we had an awesome turnout in the stands with some great support.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Hartley Roundup

Boys team faces Watterson for district hardware By CORY STEGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Points figure to be at a premium when the Hartley High School boys basketball team plays Watterson in a Division II district title game at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 10, in the Fairgrounds Coliseum. The CCL rivals played twice during the regular season, with Hartley winning 37-30 on Feb. 11 and 34-32 on Jan. 14. Watterson likes to control the pace with its zone defense and deliberate offense, but it’s nothing the top-seeded Hawks haven’t seen before, coach Randy Kortokrax said. “I’m excited about the game. It’s going to be a good CCL battle, and maybe the first team to 20 (points) will win,” he said. “The nice thing is we don’t need to see tape. We already know they’re going to zone the heck out of us, we’re going to man the heck out of them and the first to 20 wins.” Watterson improved to 10-13 by upsetting No. 4 Canal Winchester 39-37 in overtime in the second round Feb. 25 at Lakewood and No. 5 Centennial 2723 in a district semifinal March 3 at the Fairgrounds. Hartley advanced to the district championship by defeating Hamilton Township 66-55 in a semifinal March 3 at the Fairgrounds. The Hawks, who improved to 19-1, had to overcome an early deficit. The Rangers opened on an 11-1 run and led 18-10 at the end of the first quarter. Hartley started to close the gap in the second quarter. Kendal Sherrod scored Hartley’s first five points of the quarter, and a 3-pointer from DeAvery Collins cut the deficit to 20-18 with 6 minutes, 13 seconds left. Hamilton Township led 33-30 at halftime. Hartley tied the score at 43 on a steal

and basket by Eric Siefert with 4:21 left in the third quarter. Siefert then gave the Hawks their first lead at 4643 on a 3-pointer with 2:48 left. The Hawks broke a 46-all tie by opening the final period on an 11-0 run. Hamilton Township missed its three field-goal attempts and turned the ball over twice during the run. The Rangers didn’t score their first points of the quarter until the 3:48 mark. Sherrod scored 22 points, Siefert had 16 and Collins added 13 for Hartley. “We knew they could shoot, so we were expecting them to hit some 3s,” Sherrod said. “We just knew we had to pick up the intensity and don’t get down on ourselves.” The winner of Hartley-Watterson advances to a regional semifinal at 8 p.m. March 17 at Ohio University against Zanesville or Wintersville Indian Creek. Those teams played a district final March 9. •Evan Jackson represented the wrestling team at the Division II state tournament, which was March 3-5 at Ohio State, and he made up for his early exit from state last year. Jackson competed at 215 pounds and placed seventh, a year after going 0-2 at state. Jackson defeated Licking Valley’s Chase Redman 4-3 in the seventh-place match. Jackson defeated Wauseon’s Zane Krall 2-0 in the first round. “It probably wasn’t as pretty as we would’ve liked it to be, but that first win was good,” coach Kevin Petrella said. After beating Krall, Jackson lost 7-5 to Springfield Shawnee’s Nathan Silvus in a quarterfinal and dropped into the consolation bracket. He defeated Cody Thompson of Mansfield Madison 10-5 in his first consolation match, but then lost to St. Paris Graham’s Mark Meyer 5-2.

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Evan Jackson (top) of Hartley battles Wauseon’s Zane Krall in a first-round match at 215 pounds in the Division II state tournament March 3 at Ohio State. Jackson won and went on to finish seventh in his weight class.

The loss to Meyer moved Jackson into the seventh-place match. “I wanted to come in confident because last year I went 0-2 (at state),” Jackson said after defeating Krall. “The difference (from last year) is I knew what the experience of coming here was going to be like.” Jackson’s performance scored five points for Hartley, which tied for 56th with Bellevue, Hamilton Township, Licking Valley and Ravenna behind champion St. Paris Graham (230.5). At the district tournament Feb. 2526 at Columbus East, the Hawks finished 14th (51) behind champion Olentangy (158.5). Jackson was a district champion. At sectional Feb. 19 at Hilliard Bradley, the Hawks were fifth (130.5) behind champion Olentangy (292). Jackson was a sectional champion and Jarrod Zang was a runner-up at 160. The CCL tournament was Feb. 12 at Watterson. The Hawks finished fourth (137) behind champion Ready (256.5), DeSales (183.5) and St. Charles (150) and ahead of Watterson (48). Hartley loses seniors Jordan Dicker-

son (heavyweight), Jackson, Drake Jones (152) and Jason Mercier (125). Key athletes expected to return include juniors Napoleon Bell (189), Albert Davis (160), Brian Grimes (130) and Zang, sophomore Dominique Scott (103) and freshmen Jacob Croswell (135) and Grant Rathburn (119). •The season came to an end for the boys bowling team in the district tournament Feb. 26 at HP Lanes. The Hawks finished seventh (3,835) behind champion Westerville Central (4,168). Only the top three teams advanced to state. The sectional tournament was Feb. 18 at Eastland Lanes. The boys were champions (4,231) ahead of Westerville South (4,174) and Groveport (4,052). The girls finished 10th (2,790) behind champion South (3,531). The Hawks had successful showings in their inaugural season in the Central Ohio High School Bowling Conference-Central Division. The boys were division champions (13-0) ahead of St. Charles (9-2), Brookhaven (10-3), Centennial (10-3), Northland (8-5), Ready (8-5), Watterson (8-5), Beechcroft (5-7), Mifflin (5-

7), Columbus West (3-7), Columbus Academy (3-10), Grandview (3-10), Linden-McKinley (1-9) and Haugland Learning Center (0-13). St. Charles, West and Linden did not complete full league schedules because of weather postponements and cancellations. The girls tied for second (9-2) with Northland and Ready behind champion Watterson (11-0) and ahead of Brookhaven (6-5), Columbus Academy (6-5), West (4-6), Centennial (4-7), Beechcroft (3-7), Mifflin (3-8), Grandview (1-10) and Haugland (0-10). West, Beechcroft and Haugland did not complete full league schedules. The boys lose seniors Jaren Lewis, Nick Owens and Cody Peruzzi. Top bowlers expected back are sophomores William Ball and Chad Clites and freshman Corey Wilbur. The girls will have to do some rebuilding after losing seniors Rachael Ahler, Emily Albert, Emily Strapp and Leah Welsh. Freshman Katie Owens is expected to return, but should would be the only starter to do so. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The injury forced her to take a break from the game until the start of her sophomore year. She scored 12 goals in 12 games that season before suffering a season-ending concussion. Her mother, Anne, was reluctant to let her continue, but Myers was given medical clearance to resume her playing career before her junior season. Myers has done as much as she can to protect herself from repeating the injury. She now plays with Full 90 Headgear to help protect her head, has increased her training to strengthen her neck muscles and has taken martial arts classes to teach her how to protect herself better when she falls on the field. “When I got the concussion my sophomore year, it was the worst feeling in the world,” Myers said. “No one ever wants to be on the bench, but I think every good athlete has to go through something like that. It made me want to play even more.” Like Myers, DeLong had her share of obstacles to overcome before officially signing with the Buckeyes. DeLong tore an ACL last June and underwent surgery to repair the injury last August, forcing her to miss her senior season. “It was so frustrating missing my senior year,” DeLong said. “Honestly, it worked out, so I should be full go for college soccer.” DeLong sustained her injury after making a verbal commitment to the Buckeyes. She was reluctant to tell Ohio State coach Lori Walker about her injury. “The first thing the coach told me was, ‘What is there to be worried about? We still want you here and you’re going to be a valuable part of our program. Just work your butt off and be ready,’” said DeLong, who chose the Buckeyes over Illinois and Kentucky. Last season, Ohio State finished 17-5-2 overall, shared the Big Ten Conference title with Penn State and advanced to a Collegiate Cup semifinal for the first time in program history before losing to Notre Dame 1-0. “Meredith’s game can often times go unnoticed

considered.” •The basketball team finished 11-10 overall, losing to Whetstone 52-40 in the opening round of the Division I district tournament on Feb. 22 at Hilliard Bradley. Dane McLoughlin, a 6-foot-5 senior forward, led with 14 points and 6-1 junior guard Jimmy Ryan added nine points on three 3-pointers. The Cardinals finished fourth in the CCL at 3-5 behind Hartley (7-1), DeSales (6-2) and Watterson (4-4) and ahead of Ready (0-8). McLoughlin led the team with averages of 13.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game to earn honorable mention all-district. Senior forward Joe shennen@thisweeknews.com Spahr (6-3) averaged 7.5 points and was honor- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

able mention all-district. They were two of five seniors along with 5-9 guard Jordan Arends, 6-3 forward Brian Fyda and 6-2 forward J. Schroeder, who averaged 6.6 points. Ryan is the top returnee expected back after averaging 8.1 points with a team-leading 41 3pointers. Dan Hennessey, a 6-6 junior center, averaged nearly four points. Also expected back are juniors Solomon Hughes (6-2, forward) and Oga Odemena (6-2, forward) and sophomores Russell Bateman (5-11, forward), Christian Cumberlander (6-4, forward), Dan Loesing (6-0, guard), Michael Lutter (5-10, guard) and Bryce Spees (5-10, guard).

if you’re not watching closely,” Walker said in a statement posted on the team’s website. “She’s a very simple player but likes to be around the ball a lot. Her distribution and ability to keep the ball adds rhythm and flow to the game.” DeLong describes herself as being “born and bred a Buckeye.” Yet during the process of making her college decision, she wasn’t sure she wanted to stay in Columbus until she took her official visit to Ohio State. “The athletics facilities were outstanding, the coaches were unbelievable and everyone I met was proud to be a Buckeye,” DeLong said. “I went a couple of other visits after that, but nothing compared to Ohio State in my mind. The opportunities I had in my backyard were unbelievable and I didn’t want to go anywhere else.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

We want to do well for them.” “It sounds like a broken record, but the kids always come out and play as hard as they can,” fourth-year coach Jack Hoogeveen said. “The (district final) could have gone either way, and that showed because it went two overtimes.” The school has had only one other team reach a state semifinal since opening in the fall of 2003. The boys lacrosse team made it to the Division II state final in 2006, losing to North Canton Hoover 15-8. That occurred a year and a half before the hockey program’s

first varsity season. Assistant coach Nick Kormanyos knows what it takes to be a championship team after qualifying for the NCAA tournament as a player at Niagara (N.Y.) University in 2003-04 by winning a College Hockey America conference title. He then played for the Fayetteville (N.C.) Fireantz when they won the Southern Professional League championship. “It takes a special group of kids to battle through a season of injuries and tough games to make it this far,” Kormanyos said. “This is a special group of kids.” In the district final, sophomore forward Ethan Hollingsworth passed the puck to sophomore forward Marshall Oja, who scored 52 seconds into the second overtime to secure the

final four berth. “It’s all really overwhelming,” Hollingsworth said when asked about playing in front of a standing room-only crowd at the Ice Haus for the district final. “They gave us a lot of adrenaline and kept us pumped up from the beginning.” Ruska, an assistant captain, was wandering around the lobby of the Ice Haus with the district trophy clutched to his chest. Prying the award from him might not have been an easy task. “It’s amazing what we have accomplished as a group,” Ruska said. “We went from nothing ... nothing ... and were able to make it (to) the final four in four seasons. It’s really incredible, and it’s only the start.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

“The nice thing is we don’t need to see tape. We already know they’re going to zone the heck out of us, we’re going to man the heck out of them and the first to 20 wins.” — Hartley coach Randy Kortokrax on his team’s game against Watterson at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 10, at the Fair-

It was a hockey game that the players, coaches and fans won’t soon forget. On March 5 at the Dispatch Ice Haus, topseeded Dublin Jerome played second-seeded Olentangy Liberty for a district championship. The winner would advance to a state semifinal against Toledo St. Francis at noon Saturday, March 12, at Nationwide Arena. Liberty’s Marshall Oja settled the drama, scoring early in the second overtime to give the Patriots a 3-2 victory. The game featured a matchup of two standout goaltenders in Jerome senior Josh Howell and Liberty junior Eddie Arcy, who stopped 30 shots in the game after he had made 17 saves in a 3-0 win over Dublin Coffman on Feb. 27. “What a game that was,” Arcy said afterward. “Both teams played at a high level and there really wasn’t any room for mistakes. Our team hung tough just like it has all year. From day one, our goal wasn’t only to win the district; it was to win the state tournament. But like any hockey team, we went through some hard times. We had injuries to a number of players that shook our confidence, but we have a great group of players who care greatly about the game of hockey and play it with passion. We care about our coaches, we care about our school and we care about our fans. And after beating a good Jerome team that had beaten us twice during the regular season, this is the best feeling you could ever have in your sport. “I was so excited just to play, to step on the ice in that game, so you can imagine how excited I was when I skated down the ice after I realized that Marshall had scored the game-winning goal. There has never, ever been a more satisfying moment for me in sports.” Looking ahead to the match against St. Francis, Arcy said, “It will be another awesome experience. We all know they are a terrific team,

but our defense has been outstanding in the postseason and our offense is getting the job done. Now we get to play on the same ice that the Columbus Blue Jackets and the rest of the NHL players play on. What a thrill it will be and I really can’t believe we made it there, LARRY but our team confidence right LARSON now is out the roof and I think that will help us a lot.” Discussing his role as his team’s last line of defense, Arcy said, “My job is simply stopping the puck. I have played the goalie position since I was 6 years old and I think I have been in almost everyone situation possible and I have played some pretty high-level games, which will help on Saturday. “As a goalie, I have learned that you have to block out all the external things going on during a game and just focus on playing my game with a smile on my face. I love the game of hockey and I love the competition. “I understand my role as goalie can control the outcome of any game, but am excited to be in that position. Playing this position with my teammates has truly boosted my confidence as a young person and made me believe in myself, and that goes a long way in all aspects of my life. I can’t wait until Saturday.” These are the moments that sports provide for a lifetime. For Arcy and his teammates, the district championship will be lodged in their minds forever. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

Most were singers though high school or college, or have participated in a similar group in another city. “They have to have that background or they wouldn’t qualify,” Jenkins said.

Great deals, healthy meals and Asian flavors at Poong Mei From its sign outside, Poong Mei — aka Spring of China — claims it’s a Chinese restaurant. And you do pass through a red-and-gold imperial-type “China gate” by G.A. Benton portal to enter the place’s dining room. But one gaze at Poong Mei’s menu or the food laid out on its busy tables (many is more Chinese than Japanese, neither filled with obvious regulars) informs you is the dominant ethnicity. Because while that while this self-described “Asian bistro” Poong Mei certainly has Chinese and Japanese appendages, its head, heart, body and soul are purely Korean. Ambience-wise, Poong Mei is neither particularly distinguished nor bad looking. Lived-in but not dumpy, it’s got a sort of past-its-prime, small-town country club vibe. Likely its most standout features are a huge, sports-tuned projection TV and goofy, piped-in stringy music, By Dan Sohner/ThisWeek which could’ve been exCuddled Tofu Soup with Beef Short Rib at Poong Mei. humed from the sound-

tracks of melodramatic ’70s movies. So the food’s the thing at Poong Mei — and fortunately, the food is very good. A sensational shareable starter was an octet of obviously homemade Steamed Pork Buns ($8). Served on a steaming metal tray, they were beautiful snowwhite pillows with puffy, delicate, meltin-your-mouth textures and lovely, mildly fermented, sourdough-like flavors. Inside each was a wildly juicy scallionflecked clump of lusty, sausagey ground pork. Also great was a more robust group meal-igniter which could equally serve as a large entree for a single diner — Seafood Noodle Soup ($10, comes with a fine array of “ban chan,” small plates). In a super fragrant, medium spicy red broth were Poong Mei’s phenomenal housemade noodles (long, thin, silky and springy) plus bits of tender seafood-like green mussels, little shrimp, cuttlefish and octopus. A handful of veggies — like sweet carrots and earthy greens — rounded out the bowl’s happily married flavors.

A bold, garlicky and mildly spicy chili broth held lots of wiggly bits of silky tofu plus veggies such as unmushy zucchini and cloud ear mushrooms. At the last second, a raw egg had been dropped into the gurgling hot broth — and I was amazed how much it enriched the soup when I broke the egg’s yolk and stirred it through the quick-cooking pot. But wait, there was more! The supersatisfying, lean soup (which included ban chan) had a fatty accomplice in the form

of irresistible kalbi (three bone-in shortribs) slathered in a sweet, thick sort of barbecue sauce. Poong Mei’s terrific housemade noodles were the basis for a dramatically allblack stir-fried Zhang Mun ($11). Looking like a dish of squid ink-sauced pasta but tasting like the marvelous (if a bit greasy) Asian stir-fry it really was, this nifty noodle-athon united pork, tiny shrimp, a lot of onions, veggies and assorted seafood bits in a salty fermented black bean sauce. Whether it’s that Chinese-style dish, or a neat Chinese-Korean hybrid like Shredded Pork with Hot Pepper ($12) or a great, straight-up Korean Hot Stone BiBim-Bob ($10), Poong Mei does it well, inexpensively and with genuine flavors.

Factory worker returns to food industry After working factory jobs both in Delaware and in central Ohio, Anuson “Chris” Khumauksorn is once again pursuing his love of cooking and the restaurant business. The Bangkok native has opened Taste of Thai in the Polaris area, replacing Ha Long Bay, a Vietnamese restaurant at 8489 Sancus Blvd. The menu offers a wide range of Thai classics, from tom yum soup to pad Thai to shredded

papaya salad. Most entrees are in the $9 to $11 range, with a few of the house specialties costing around $15. Owning a restaurant — and being its chef — isn’t exactly what Khumauksorn had in mind. Sure, he helped his mother run a restaurant in his native Thailand,

while also earning a bachelor’s degree in business management. A cousin who owned a restaurant in Florida beckoned, so Khumauksorn and his family moved to the Sunshine State to help. He removed himself from the restaurant industry for several years and moved to Ohio with his wife. Yet he longed to return to the business and staked out a location in the Polaris area, which currently has a lot of restaurants but no Thai.

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Taste of Thai owner Anuson “Chris” Khumauksorn prepares his pad Thai with rice noodles, shrimp, chicken, eggs, ground peanuts, beansprouts and scallion in pad Thai sauce.

The interior – and store sign – at Taste of Thai is bright yellow for a reason, as the color symbolizes warmth and cheerfulness, he said. He said there’s still a learning curve for some customers, who tend to group all Asian cuisines together. Or they have another stigma about Thai. “People think of Thai food as spicy, hot,” he said. Therefore, he makes it clear that he will adjust the spice level to the diner’s preference. For now, there is no alcohol, but Khumauksorn said he intends to apply for a license to sell wine and beer. Taste of Thai is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-436-3735. Fresh off the opening of the successful San-Su, Yun Hui “Yumi” Wada has another restaurant planned for Bethel Road. Aoi, a Japanese restaurant, will take over the 5,000-square-foot building that once housed Einstein Bros. Bagels and Boston Market, 876-878 Bethel Road. The menu will feature sushi, noodle dishes, tempura and the like. It is expected to open in May. Meanwhile, Wada has leased San-Su, a Korean restaurant, to Jae Uk Jong. Wada is the founder of the two local Genji Japanese Steakhouses, among other enterprises.
