Addition and renovation at 849 Oxford St.

Neighbors present appeal to council By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers An appeal of an Architectural Review Board (ARB) approval of additions and renovations to a house at 849 Oxford St. will be heard by Worthington City Council on March 14. Council agreed to hear the appeal at its Monday meeting. The appeal was filed by Sue and Jerry

Kneubel, 108 W. Stafford Ave., who said that the design of the proposed changes are not compatible with the existing house or other homes in the historic district; would have a negative impact on two trees in the backyard; and would cause drainage problems. The ARB addressed those and other issues at its Nov. 11, 2010, and Feb. 10, 2011, meetings, and voted 5-0 in favor of the proposal at the latter meeting.

The house in question is a two-story, green English-revival style located on the west side of Oxford Street, between West Stafford and West Clearview avenues. It is owned by Alli Gentile and Brian McGarry, who purchased it last August. The project includes a new east entry addition of approximately 150 square feet and a 750-square-foot west addition on the first floor, with a corresponding twocar garage on the ground floor.

The current driveway on the south side of the lot would be removed and the onecar garage made into storage and living space. A new driveway would curve across the front lawn to avoid a large tree, and would be located along the north side of the house and addition leading to the new rear garage. A small addition on the north side of the house would be removed. Materials in the new addition would

include charcoal-colored cement fiber board cladding, zinc standing-seam roofing which would also replace the current roof, and weathered-zinc siding for window and door bays. Box-style bay windows without panes would project from the north side of the addition. Besides the design and the materials, See APPEAL, page A2

ESC group to assist with search for new superintendent By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Vacant for many years, the house at the southwest corner of state Route 161 and Olentangy River Road is set to be demolished.

Eyesore on 161 will be demolished By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers For many years, the house at the city’s entryway has been vacant and crumbling. Now it will be coming all the way down. By the end of May, the house at the southwest corner of West Dublin Granville and Olentangy River roads will be demolished, said attorney Thomas Moloney. He is trustee for the property, and his name was on the three violation notices issued by the Franklin County building department this past December and January. The notices declared the property to be “a serious hazard” and required the owner to bring the structure up to code or apply for a demolition permit. Moloney did not know if a permit had been issued, but said the owner intends to

raze the house. He declined to name the owner, but records at the Franklin County Auditor’s Office show the property transferred for no money in 2009 to Moloney from Gerald S. Jacobs. According to the auditor’s office, the house is valued for tax purposes at $76,600. The 1,800 square-foot, one-story house was built in 1954.

According to neighbors, it has been vacant for 20 years. During that time, applications have been made to develop the property with a gas station, a dental office, and condominiums. Each has been turned down. Jane Weislogel said she will be glad to see the house gone, but realizes that she and other neighbors must start thinking about what would be acceptable on the double lot, which is approximately 1.9 acres in size. The land is in Sharon Township, which has worked with the city of Worthington and Franklin County to do something about what many believe to be an eyesore. Worthington city manager Matt Greeson is glad to see progress being made. “It addresses something the township and city residents have been concerned about for many years,” he said.

The Educational Service Center of Central Ohio (ESC) has been hired to assist in the search for a new superintendent of schools. The Worthington Board of Education voted unanimously on Monday to hire the center, which was recommended by a committee that interviewed three search firms on March 4. ESC is an agency that supports school districts in Franklin, Delaware, and Union counties. It has assisted in administrator searches in Dublin, Granville, Olentangy and other school districts. According to its proposal, the ESC will take approximately nine weeks to complete its fourstep process, which will cast a nationwide net for a superintendent to succeed Melissa Conrath. Conrath announced last month that she will retire in October, or as soon as a replacement can be found. She has been superintendent for five years. The search process will begin with a needs assessment, through which it will be determined what kind of leadership skills are needed and wanted by the district; candidate recruitment, through which local, state, and national organizations will be notified,

and a “targeted” search will be included; screening; interviews; and contract negotiations. The Ohio School Board Association (OSBA), which commonly conducts superintendent searches in Ohio, and School Exec Connect, a private firm from Highland Park, Ill., were also interviewed by school board president Marc Schare, board member Charlie Wilson and Conrath. One outstanding quality of the ESC is the cost. It will not charge the district for its services, except for expenses. “They are already being paid by taxpayers’ dollars from the state or our district,” Schare said. OSBA proposed charging $6,900, plus expenses such as advertising, printing, postage, telephone, travel, screening committee costs, brochures and site visitations. School Exec Connect proposed charging the district not more than $23,300.

Smile! City not ready to use red-light cameras By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers When it comes to using cameras to enforce traffic laws, the city of Worthington will proceed with caution. “I feel there is a place for photo enforcement in high-accident areas,” said Police Chief James Mosic. “At this time, I haven’t identified any of those areas in Worthington, but I would be open to looking at it.” The chief and about 25 residents listened to a pitch on March 3 from a representative of Redflex, the company that installed and operates the red light photo enforcement program in Columbus. A new organization of residents of Worthington Estates East invited the company to talk to them about using cameras to enforce speed laws in their neighborhood. “On Highland Avenue, we feel people speed down the street,” said Sean Demaree, who organ-

ized the meeting at the Worthington Community Center. The company operates camera enforcement systems in approximately 250 communities, including Columbus. Though the cameras that snap shots of vehicles running red lights are most common, cities can also contract for Redflex cameras set up to catch speeders. With cameras situated either atop poles or more covertly in unoccupied parked vans, sophisticated radar systems measure speed and snap photos and videos of motorists exceeding the speed limit. Photos are reviewed at the company’s Phoenix headquarters, then sent to the local police department, which does another review before approving a citation. Each community is encouraged to set its own limit at which citations are issued. Not everyone

Rybak, Campbell receive Good Neighbor Awards By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers For Shirley Rybak, being a good neighbor means mowing lawns, sharing hugs, and baking cream puffs for the people on her street. For George Campbell, it means putting new energy, activity, and communication back into his subdivision as president of its civic association. The Worthington Community Relations Commission showed that it values both types of contributions by honoring them with the city’s 2010 Good Neighbor Award.

The city received seven nominations for the award this year, and could not narrow it down between Rybak and Campbell, said Mikel Coulter as he presented the award before Worthington City Council on Monday. Rybak was nominated by Lauren Seligman, who lives near the Rybaks on Seabury Drive. “Shirley is by far the most thoughtful and selfless neighbor I have ever had,” Seligman wrote in her nominating letter. A retired teacher, Rybak spends much time working in her own yard, but helps out with those who are busy or unable

to tend to their own. She mows, rakes, and edges others’ lawns; uses her snow blower to clear neighbors’driveways; and shovels sidewalks. Any child who stops by gets a small toy or a cookie, and a hug. During the holidays or anytime, neighbors receive gifts of her baked goods, Seligman said. Rybak is going through treatment for breast cancer, which means she cannot get out of the house some days. “Her community inspires her to get back up and get going again,” he neighbor wrote. In accepting the award, Rybak point-

APPEAL

CAMERAS Continued from page A1 whose speed exceeds the posted 25-miles-per-hour limit on Highland Avenue would be cited. In Worthington, motorists are generally not stopped for going less than 10 miles-per-hour over the speed limit. Above that, the decision is up to the officer. If the motorist is exceeding the limit by more than 15 miles-perhour, a citation is generally written, Mosic said. “Officers have a large amount of discretion,” he said. Those who receive citations from Redflex would be able to appeal, and could access photo records on the Internet. Fines are sent to a lock box. The money is shared by Redflex and the city, at a rate determined by contract. The city does not pay for the program. In Ohio, approximately 80 percent of violators pay their fines. If the fines are not paid, a violator’s vehicle can be towed or booted or his or her debt turned over to a collection agency. City council member Joe Davis encouraged residents to carefully consider the implications of a photo enforcement system. “A core question is ‘what kind of personality do you want to give your neighborhood?” he said. Cities that use camera systems are required to place signs informing motorists at each mu-

nicipal entrance. “Do we want to say that big brother is watching?” he asked. On Highland Avenue, speeds are not as high as some perceive, according to studies done by Worthington police between Feb. 17 and 21 and between March 1 and 3. The first measured traffic speed east of Joslyn. The average speed was between 21 and 22 milesper-hour. The second was done west of Joslyn, showing an average speed of approximately 23 miles-perhour. “One car speeding down a street is too much, I understand this,” Mosic told the group. Since the beginning of 2004, there have been 17 accidents on Highland Avenue. Most were in the Community Center parking lot, or were rear-end accidents at the High Street intersection. The speed statistics were compiled using Stealth Stat, computer with a radar antenna that is placed on a traffic pole where it continually records date, time, speed, and direction of vehicles. The city-owned computer can be used in other neighborhoods where residents are concerned about traffic, Mosic said. He has assigned Lt. John Slaughter to address such issues. “If you have concerns on your street, call the police department and tell them your problem,” Mosic said.

Continued from page A1 neighbors have expressed concerns about a retaining wall near the rear of the driveway and the impact on trees both on the property and in neighbors’ yards. Several neighbors wrote of their concerns to the city. “Although the proposed addition is at the rear of the 849 Oxford residence, it would become the focal point of the shared views from our house and the homes at 101 W. Clearview, 108 W. Stafford, and 837 Oxford,” wrote Amy Gilmore, 103 W. Clearview. Doug Gilmore of the same address question the ability to control drainage with a proposed rain garden. Former ARB and council member Dave Foust wrote in support of the neighbors. He said that neither the proposed roof or box windows are in character with the buildings in the Architectural Review District. Council will not hear the issues until the next meeting, but reviewed applications, meeting minutes, and letters from neighbors before agreeing to hear the appeal. “As I read through the materials I certainly developed concerns,” said council member Bob Chosy. Except for the approval of the expansion of Worthington Jewelers which was appealed last December, this is the first time in ten years that an ARB decision has been appealed to council, said city zoning coordinator Lynda Bitar.

ed out that she is far from the only good neighbor in the city. “There are great neighbors in Worthington all over the place,” she said. Campbell served as president of the Colonial Hills Civic Association in 2009 and 2010, and was instrumental in reviving the traditional Independence Day celebration at Selby Park. He also participated in other neighborhood events; improved funding for the civic association; and improved communication by expanding the newsletter and maintaining a neighborhood website. He also updated the neighborhood di-

rectory for the first time since 2004, and, as the unofficial Colonial Hills historian, digitally documented local history with hundreds of photographs and facts about the past. “Without George many civic association events would not happen anymore, and the community would be at a great loss,” wrote Kenbrook Drive resident Rachael Dorothy, one of several residents who nominated Campbell. Campbell thanked the city for supporting neighborhoods. “It is a pleasure to be a civic association president in a city where people really work with you,” he said.

As it were

Some of the basics taught ‘office boys’ still good today 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.

“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 officeâ€? 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 Schoolâ€? at the Columbus YMCA.â€? 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.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen BUSINESS IS BOOMING! Just as Baby Boomers are settling into middle age, a revolution of sorts is taking place in the world of hearing instruments. Since its introduction in 2005, the open-fit hearing instrument has been a resounding success. The open-fit design brings greater wearing comfort, it is less noticeable than traditional behind-the-ear (BTE) instruments, and it provides users with more natural sound. On top of these advantages, open-fit hearing instruments are perfectly suited to the type of hearing loss that Baby Boomers are likely to experience: mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss. Moreover, open-fit instruments have a minimalist design that is in keeping with Boomer’s active lifestyles. Is this all coincidence or just a matter of good fortune? Boomers will decide. People stay younger by hearing better, whether with an open-fit or BTE hearing instrument. The type of hearing aid that is the best choice for an individual is based on many factors, including the size and shape of the ear, the type and degree of the hearing loss, and the individual’s typical listening environment. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our experienced staff is committed to determining the most appropriate hearing device for each patient’s needs. Please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a comprehensive hearing exam. Our office is located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

Warriors girls team ended losing ways By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

One of the more dramatic turnarounds of the 2010-11 winter sports season was put together by the Worthington Christian High School girls basketball team. Coming off back-to-back losing seasons in which they finished 4-17 in 200809 and 6-14 in 2009-10, the Warriors had several new key players and a new coach. Despite the transition, Worthington Christian received the No. 2 seed for the

Division IV district tournament and advanced to a semifinal for the first time since 2006 before losing to fifth-seeded Morral Ridgedale 62-35 on March 1 at Westerville Central. The Warriors finished 16-6, and Adam Heath was named district Coach of the Year in his first season. “Coach (Tim) Brown laid the groundwork for our success,” Heath said. Brown headed the program for one season before Heath, who had served as junior varsity coach, took over. The Warriors also lost two players to grad-

uation from last season as well as Megan Beidelman, a key contributor who transferred to Olentangy for her sophomore season. This season, sophomores Stacy Hecker (11.7 points per game), Audrey Rettstatt (10.6 ppg), Kelsey Morgan (8.3 ppg) and Abbie Moss (5.6 ppg) and junior Allie Custer (6.8 ppg) led the way. Other underclassmen who became key players included sophomore Courtney Prior (2.1 ppg) and freshmen Alli Spayde (4.1 ppg) and Janelle Wilcox. The Warriors’ only senior was Tay-

lor Lanning, who totaled 16 points coming off the bench. “(Lanning) was definitely an emotional leader for us,” Heath said. “I felt like she had quite a bit of life experience to aid the younger players.” The Warriors opened the postseason with wins over Grove City Christian (56-24 on Feb. 16 at Granville) and sixthseeded Tree of Life (43-32 on Feb. 24 at Westerville North) before running into Ridgedale. Ridgedale made 10 of its first 11 shots and built a 36-19 lead by halftime. Heck-

er scored 16 points and Rettstatt added seven for Worthington Christian, which could not overcome a 21-point performance from Rockets sophomore Logan Mattix that included eight firstquarter points. “They shot so well that they beamed with confidence,” Heath said. “Experience-wise, we’re young, but they had some kids playing, too, and I think their coach had them more prepared than we did.” See WARRIORS, page B3

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 and it really fired us up when he got hurt. We want to do well for Reed and everyone else who helped us get here but won’t be able to play. 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

Wolves finish sixth at state meet By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Worthington Kilbourne High School gymnastics team entered the state meet March 4 at Hilliard Bradley with something it didn’t have a year ago: Experience. After finishing ninth at state last year, the Wolves returned this season with many of the same gymnasts and placed sixth (136.225 points) behind champion Brecksville-Broadview Heights (146.6), which captured its eighth consecutive title. Kilbourne was the top finisher from central Ohio. Thomas Worthington was eighth (134.675) and DeSales was ninth (134.4). “We didn’t get too out of sorts,” said coach Cindy Fushimi, who was named the state’s Coach of the Year. “We just kind of focused and stayed calm.” The Wolves performed better at state than at the home district meet Feb. 26, when DeSales captured the title (136.85) ahead of Thomas (134.525) and Kilbourne (134.25). Junior Erica Rodriguez had one of the Wolves’ top performances at state in the team competition, scoring 8.875 on vault, 8.8 on uneven bars and 8.975 on the floor exercise. At the individual competition on March 5 at Bradley, Rodriguez, the district floor champion, tied DeSales’Kate Miltko for 13th on floor with a 9.075 to finish behind champion Michaela Romito of Brecksview-Broadview Heights (9.5). Rodriguez also placed 13th in the all-around (35.7) behind champion Kelly Nortz of Rocky River Magnificat (37.475). Rodriguez scored an 8.875 on vault, an 8.925 on bars and an 8.825 on balance beam. Sophomore Selena FushimiKarns (35th on vault, 7.975; 35th on bars, 7.6) and junior Erin See HENNEN, page B4 Knickerbocker (32nd on bars, 7.9)

also competed at the individual competition. Earlier this season, Knickerbocker didn’t think she’d be able to make it to state after sustaining a hairline fracture in her left tibia. “It’s been a great privilege to be here,” Knickerbocker said. “To be able to come back from all the injuries we had this year and to make it to states as a team has been fantastic.” The Wolves finished 5-0 in dual meets to capture the OCC-Cen-

tral Division regular-season title ahead of Olentangy Liberty (41), Delaware (3-2), Hilliard Davidson (2-3), Dublin Scioto (1-4) and Westland (0-5). Kilbourne scored 134.975 points to win the OCCCentral meet on Feb. 12 ahead of Liberty (128.775), Delaware (121.6), Scioto (109.625), Davidson (108.125) and Westland (70.5). At the league meet, Rodriguez placed first on vault (8.9), bars (8.725), beam (9.225), floor (9.05) and all-around (35.9).

The Wolves lose seniors Katy Deibel, Megan Marshall, Megan O’Neill, Kelsey Whittemore and Olivia Zimmer but expect to return all three of their individual state qualifiers as well as junior Stephanie Keller and freshman Celeste Fushimi-Karns. •At the team competition, Thomas improved two places in the standings from a year ago. Led by Anna Glover and Tatiana Diaz-Packard in the allaround, the Cardinals moved ahead

of DeSales in the final team standings. Glover scored an 8.4 on vault, 7.75 on bars, 8.975 on beam and 8.75 on floor, while Diaz-Packard scored an 8.4 on vault, 8.325 on bars, 8.425 on beam and 8.3 on floor. Coach Marci Skeen was worried about her team starting out on floor. Normally one of the team’s stronger events, the Cardinals had the 10th highest score See GYMNASTICS, page B4

Club Hockey

Area state qualifiers hope to regain momentum By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hilliard was dominant in winning the Greater Columbus High School Club Hockey League’s Blue Jackets Cup for the first time. The Wildcats won all four games, outscoring their opponents by a combined score of 23-5. Casey Fulton, a senior wing player from Hilliard Davidson, anchored the effort offensively with seven points, including five assists. Matt Hannan, a junior center from Darby, scored four goals and totaled five points, and goaltenders Doug Martin, a senior from Jonathan Alder, and Gage Robison, a junior from Franklin Heights, posted two victories apiece. Hilliard defeated Northeast 6-2 in the final, but that game was played Feb. 20. That means that the four GCHSCHL qualifiers for the Buckeye Cup state club tournament — Hilliard, Northeast, PRPC and Newark — will enter the seventh-year event having not played a meaningful game in nearly three weeks. The state tournament runs Friday, March 11, through Sunday, March 13, in Canton and Wooster. “You just have to make sure your practices are (conducted at) game speed,” first-year Hilliard coach Mark Mead said. “We’ve done a lot of innersquad scrimmages and scrimmaged against some of the other local teams. That’s about all we can do to stay ready and be prepared.” Newark and Northeast were among the league’s best teams during the sec-

ond half of the regular season. The Generals went 7-2-1 down the stretch to forge a tie for fourth place with Athens, and they won the tiebreaker to qualify for the Buckeye Cup for a fifth consecutive season by finishing 12-111 in the GCHSCHL with 25 points. They followed a similar path to state in previous years, capturing the state title in 2009. “We worked the magic again,” Newark coach Don Jennings said. “It was just another amazing late-season run. Every game we played at the end was a playoff game, really.” The trick now for Newark is to regain the momentum it might have lost given that the regular season concluded Feb. 13. The Generals went 0-2 in the Blue Jackets Cup, as did regular-season league champion PRPC. PRPC finished first in the GCHSCHL at 15-7-2 with 32 points as Hilliard and Northeast both finished 14-7-3 with 31 points. The Storm went 8-2 to end the regular season but lost twice to Hilliard in the Blue Jackets Cup. It played six games in the tournament over three days, including three in a 24-hour period. “You can practice and scrimmage all you want, but it’s not the same,” Northeast coach Mark Fixari said. “There’s nothing like a real game to keep you sharp.” The 12-team field for the state tournament also features Liberty Township Lakota East, Mason, Oxford Butler County and Bellbrook after they finished in the top four of the Cincinnati

High School League. Lakota East was the regular-season champion at 19-3 with 22 points. The Cleveland-based North Coast Hockey League, on the other hand, awards its four state berths following the completion of its postseason tournament, which is a spread over two weeks and ended March 5. The state qualifiers were Jackson, Medina, Painesville Riverside and North Royalton. Jackson was the regular-season champion at 10-0-1 with 21 points. “It’s absolutely a different situation,” Jennings said. “Our league has battled against waiting three weeks to play the

state tournament, but Jackson, as the host team, won. Once the weather warms, it’s extremely hard holding onto the players as the spring sports get started. If this keeps up, we’ll have to address maybe moving the start of our regular season back another week.” Northeast has been practicing without one of its top defensemen, New Albany senior Colin Laviola, a Division I college lacrosse hopeful who is struggling to fulfill obligations in both sports as the hockey season drags on. There could be some positives that come out of the delay, however. For example, PRPC slumped toward the end of the regular season as injuries mounted. The Ice Prowlers still won’t have leading scorer Kyle Hyer, a Pickerington North sophomore who is out with a broken collarbone, but defenseman Sean Straker has had more time to recover from a concussion that kept him out of the Blue Jackets Cup. He is expected to play, as is Newark left wing Tyler Russell after he missed the tournament because of mononucleosis. In addition, Newark center Thomas Nichols has been cleared to play following a shoulder injury. Hilliard should benefit from getting right wing Drew Kennedy, a junior from Darby, back on the ice for the first time since December. He helped key the Wildcats’ 14-0 start before suffering a knee injury. PRPC is the only team in any of the three leagues to qualify for the Buckeye Cup every year since the state tour-

nament’s inception in 2005. Medina won the first two titles before West Chester Lakota West took the championship the following season. Athens was the first GCHSCHL team to win the state title in 2008. Lakota East is the defending state champion, but it lost early in the CHSHL’s tournament as Bellbrook defeated Mason in the final. Hilliard advanced to state for a third consecutive season and fourth time overall. Northeast is making its second appearance, having first reached state in 2009. “Top to bottom, I think Columbus is a little stronger than the other two leagues,” PRPC coach Joe Tonello said. “That being said, it’s never easy. We’ve been there time and time again and haven’t won it yet.” The state tournament will be played using the five-point system. Teams play three pool games and the top four point scorers advance to the semifinals. One point is awarded for winning a period, and teams split that point in the case of a tie. The winning team in each game receives an additional two points. All four local coaches are in agreement that three of the four semifinalists could come from the GCHSCHL. “That might very well happen,” Mead said. “We’ve played some tight games with each other and that should continue because we’re all fairly even. Of course, it’s hard telling what the affect might be from the layoff.” kadams@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

WARRIORS Continued from page B1 Rettstatt was named secondteam all-district, Hecker made third-team all-district and Morgan was honorable mention alldistrict. Heath is hoping a strong offseason will help the team build on what it accomplished this season. “We haven’t had a good offseason in three years,” Heath said. “Last year our offseason was subpar because we didn’t always have our whole team. I think we did enough good things this year that they’re going to be hungry.” •The boys basketball team endured its second consecutive losing season but should return its leading scorer. Junior Brooks Weygandt averaged 11.1 points and made honorable mention all-district to lead the Warriors, who lost to fourthseeded Richwood North Union 54-37 in the second round of the Division III district tournament Feb. 26 at Dublin Scioto to finish 10-12. The senior class was comprised of Tyler England, Matt Fredrick (8.1 ppg), Austin Morgan, Josh Petrel (6.9 ppg), Jonathan Price, Matt Rickly and David Sinclair. Morgan averaged six points over the first five games before suffering a season-ending knee injury during a 53-47 loss to Horizon Science Academy on Dec. 21. Junior Luke Rettstatt averaged 3.8 points and sophomore Addison Taylor became a key player in early February and averaged 7.9 points over the last nine games. Also expected to return are juniors Chris Bradley, Jacob Hayes, Brien Hodgson and Kyle Wade and sophomore Sam Condon. The Warriors’ j.v. went 16-4. “The biggest thing is that we had a group of seniors who all

ginning.” 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.”

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 be-

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-

MENU

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.

Poong Mei 4720 Reed Road, Upper Arlington 614-273-9998 Cuisine: Chinese and Asian Price: $ (up to $10 per person) Patio: No Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday The hits kept coming — as did the sweet deals and healthy meals — with the Cuddled Tofu Soup with Beef Short Rib ($12; I got the vegetarian version). 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.

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 plans to apply for a liquor license. 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. Wada is the founder of the two local Genji Japanese Steakhouses, among other enterprises.
