County grew 27.8 percent in past decade

By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Union County has experienced significant population growth over the past 10 years, according to early results from the 2010 United States Census.

Union County is one of only three counties in Ohio with population growth of more than 25 percent over the past 10 years, according to census statistics.

“Union County remained one of the thirdfastest growing counties in Ohio, growing by 28 percent between 2000-2010,” said Eric Phillips, executive director of the Union County Economic Development Partnership. “Addi-

tionally, Plain City grew by nearly 50 percent while Marysville grew nearly 39 percent.”

Union County’s population was at 52,300 when the census was conducted last year. That figure is up 11,391 (27.8 percent) residents from the 2000 population of 40,909, and up 20,331 residents (63.6 percent) from 1990’s population of 31,969.

The city of Marysville grew by 38.7 percent over the past 10 years, from 15,932 to 22,094 residents.

While the state experienced a population increase over the past 10 years, Ohio is still losing two seats in the U.S. House of RepresentaSee COUNTY GROWS, page A2

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) has told Marysville the nature of the projects eligible for funding this year. MORPC hopes to secure approximately $500,000 to help residents looking to buy their first home, or to fix up an existing home.

MORPC housing & community services coordinator Kim Kellogg presented to council Thursday night activities that can fall under funding from the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) grant.

Marysville is preparing to apply for funding for the next fiscal year, and is eligible for $500,000 through the state grant program.

CHIP funding typically can be used for home repairs such as roof work, maintenance and updates to plumbing and electric systems, or for repairs to heating systems.

Activities that will be eligible under the CHIP program in Marysville for FY 2011 include: • Private home rehabilitation, four to six units up to $35,000 each for a total up to $212,000; • Home repair, 19 units at $5,000 each for a total of $125,000; • Down-payment assistance with houses that need rehabilitation, three units up to $32,000 each for a total of $103,000.

Additional mortgage funds up to $300,000 may also be available;

Nelson prepares for state organized crimes post

By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

As Union County Sheriff Rocky Nelson prepares for a new post as executive director of Ohio’s Organized Crimes Investigations Commission, at least an afternoon’s worth of time will be needed to clean out his office.

Lining nearly every wall, covering every flat surface, are pieces of artwork, keepsakes from community events, and picture frames — photos of smiling men

and women in uniform, friends in hunting gear, laughing children — mementos of a lifetime spent in local law enforcement.

“Most of the time, this office is also my Rocky W. home,” Nelson said.

Nelson Appointed Union County Sheriff in 2003 and re-elected in 2004 and 2008, Nelson will resign from the sheriff’s office April 4. Ohio Attor-

ney General Mike DeWine made the announcement that Nelson would be heading up the OOCIC at the Union County Courthouse last week.

“We looked for four major qualities in our new executive director: extensive experience, a fire in the belly for law enforcement issues, someone who is a ‘people person’ who can lead a diverse coalition of agencies and someone with exceptional integrity,” DeWine said. “We found all of these important qualities in Union County Sheriff Rocky Nelson.

Dozens of Union County residents

volunteered last spring to participate in the census collection process, forming the Union County Complete Count Committee. The group published newsletters and websites, gave presentations to senior groups and at public functions, as well as doing literature drops throughout the county. As a result, Union Coun-

ty achieved an 81-percent participation rate in completing the survey, the second-highest rate in central Ohio.

The U.S. Census Bureau will be releasing more detailed population statistics on a rolling basis through the month of March. So far, information for 25 states has been released; Ohio is listed

as one of the seven states to have detailed information released next in the cycle.

The U.S. Constitution requires a national census once every 10 years. The census is a count of everyone residing in the United States, and among other issues, determines how many seats each

state has in the U.S. House of Representatives. Demographic characteristics surveyed in the census include age, sex, race, marital status, home ownership status and other categories.

All available census information can be viewed on the U.S. Census Bureau’s website at census.gov.

Nelson said he hopes that successor will be someone from the sheriff’s office, although he knows that’s up to the committee.

“We’ve worked hard to put people in the places they need to be in this office to best serve the county, and hopefully whoever takes over will see the value of that, but that’s up to the new sheriff,” he said.

While the office is currently conducting contract negotiations with its deputies’ union, Nelson said those will be completed before he leaves office.

Growing up in rural Morrow County as the son of a sheriff’s office sergeant, Nelson began his career in law enforcement in an old Catholic cemetery, where he was sworn in by Sheriff John Overly to work undercover.

“I remember that was the first time I met him, and I was amazed by how young he was,” Nelson said. “I was 25 years old at the time, and it wasn’t very long after that that a position opened up here when (deputy) Tom Bidlack went to the Marines.”

Now 51, Nelson said he has seen Union County grow and change in the past decades.

“When I started you could have one deputy on the roads on a weekend and not get a call the whole evening,” he said. “Now they’re going from call to call to call. Union County has felt the growth of Franklin County spreading out, and with that growth comes some of the problems that go along with it. Our job is to step up.”

The county central committee has set a tentative date of April 30 to make a decision on who will serve the rest of Nelson’s term, according to committee member Jim Westfall.

“We’ve reviewed the requirements and the process; it’s a little different than with the commissioner’s appointment,” Westfall said.

While the committee accepted applications from county Republicans last year to fill the seat

of commissioner Tom McCarthy, an Ohio Sheriff must be a trained law enforcement officer, Westfall said. Candidates must be submitted to a background check, and the Union County Common Pleas Judge must approve their qualifications before they can be submitted to the central committee for consideration, Westfall said.

Although Nelson said his family won’t have to move for his new job, he still needs to make his rounds through the county to properly say goodbye and thank you.

“It’s the people here that really matter,” he said.

Nelson said that in the past, he would regularly drive up to the Richwood Senior Center to call out numbers on bingo night. It was a way to relax and have fun outside of the uniform, he said, and although at first people said he was doing things like that for political reasons, after awhile things changed.

“That was a way for me just to have fun, and once people realized that, it was like their disposition changed,” he said. “When you can crack through that sort of thing, it feels really good.

That’s what’s neat about this county, and it’s still here, people like that.”

• Homeownership education classes for downpayment-assistance households; • Possibly a tenant-based rental assistance program, up to $35,000.

Rochelle Twining — executive director of the Community Action Organization of Delaware, Madison and Union Counties, Inc. (CAO) — addressed council, lending her organization’s support to the cause.

“I’m here to support this application,” Twining said. “Every day in our work, we are seeing the need for this in Marysville.”

Twining requested that the council dedicate CAO as a subcontractor to help release the funds locally in the county, or that MORPC could have representatives on-site so that tenants don’t have to drive to Columbus to take advantage of

the services.

“We really do try to accommodate our clients’ needs,” Kellogg said. “The need for services is as great as it ever has been right now, and the resources are becoming fewer.”

Council members asked that MORPC, CAO and city representatives schedule a meeting to discuss working together on the project.

Each assistance program has income requirements, Kellogg said.

To be eligible, a family must own its own home or be a first-time homebuyer. The program is intended to primarily benefit low- and moderateincome residents.

Council is expected to vote on the measure at its next regular meeting. More information can be found online at www.morpc.org. lrice@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Jerome Township

Fire department could see layoffs, officials say

By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Jerome Township could experience three to six layoffs in its fire department if a levy on the May 3 ballot is not approved, fire officials said last week.

Firefighter Justin French delivered a presentation to the township trustees during their March 7 meeting, stating the fire division’s case for the township’s levy request.

“Failure of the levy and no (tangible personal property tax) replacement would result in three to six layoffs and only two

people on duty per day,” French said.

In January, the trustees voted to place an additional 2.9-mill levy before voters, for the purpose of providing fire services to the township for a period of five years. A continuing levy of the same millage was denied by residents in No-

vember 2010.

French prepared a background of the fire division, its history, the services it offers and the funding difficulties it has faced during the economic crisis for the trustees. If need be, French said, he’s willing to take the same presentation to show each resident in the township.

“I think the economic times the folks have been under and the struggles they’ve had … we hate to see that,” French said.

“I really think we need to sit down, neighbor to neighbor, and plead our case.”

If approved, the levy would cost an additional $101.50 annually per $100,000

valuation. French said that if approved, the levy would enable the fire division to maintain its current level of service, including the four-firefighter-per-day staffing, fund a part-time position by late 2012 and restore a second medic unit to service by late 2012, along with restoring rescue services for vehicle crashes.

“We’re hoping that if things work out in our favor, in early 2012 we can bring that part-time guy back,” French said.

“That position for us was pivotal.”

If approved, the levy would generate $588,835 annually, according to figures provided by the county auditor’s office.

Without further reductions or sources of funding, the township’s fire budget projects a deficit of $84,000 beginning in fiscal year 2015.

“We’re trying to reach out and get a nucleus of people to hopefully pay attention to us,” Fire Chief Scott Skeldon told the trustees during the meeting.

If voters approve the levy, no changes will take place at the division this year, Skeldon has said. No revenue would be collected until 2012. In the meantime, the division will continue to seek grants to replace equipment and for training certification.

New police, municipal court facility designs unveiled

By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

City officials said plans to construct a new police and municipal court facility in Marysville are on schedule.

Marysville’s engineering division unveiled several models and renderings of the building, planned to be constructed on city-owned land at the northeastern corner of W. Fifth Street and Raymond Road, during an open house earlier this month.

City engineer Valerie Klingman said the project is on track to break ground this year.

“There’s really been a lot of

progress made, and we’re still on schedule,” she said. “We hope to break ground this October.”

Designed by Dublin-based Horne & King Architects, the facility will take up about 48,000 square feet on the 16 acres of land, according to assistant city engineer Jeremy Hoyt.

Marysville officials sited the need for new safety facilities last year during the campaign for an increase in the municipal income tax, which ultimately passed. Once the building is completed, the city’s police operations will be relocated to it, along with all municipal court operations.

Several considerations have

played into the placement and design of the building on the site, Klingman said. In addition to asthetic desires such as creating a “strong civic street presence” and offering a gateway site from Marysville’s northern entrance, numerous practical needs must be met with the new station, including two separate means of access/egress for police cruisers on call, covered parking for the cruisers, locating the Raymond Road driveway a safe distance north of the Fifth Street intersection, a building location that minimizes the need for earth moving, secure parking for all staff, the ability to connect pathways between the

adjacent cemetery and parks, and the ability for future growth on the site.

Klingman said designers are still finalizing the interior layout of the building.

Nearly 90 percent of Horne & King’s projects are for public facilities, according to the firm’s website. Some projects the ar-

chitects have worked on include the Bellefontaine municipal building and police facility, along with municipal facilities for the cities of Bexley, Dublin, Grove City, Hudson, Sidney and Tipp City.

Examples of the firm’s work can be viewed online at www.horneandking.com.

Designs for the facilities were

taken before Marysville’s Design Review Board last week for initial input, Klingman said, with a presentation scheduled before city council on March 24. The city intends to also host more public open houses to gather input for a similar project, Marysville’s new fire station, in the coming months, she added.

Just thinking

Please be gentle; I’m driving a rental I drove a rental car for almost a week, and I was cranky the whole time.

For one thing, who wants to suddenly start driving a completely different car? It’s like getting dressed from a completely different closet, a closet with nothing that’s your size. It’s like trying to make dinner in a strange kitchen, where you don’t even know where the colander is.

I’d known I was about to get a rental car, but I still felt unprepared when the time came.

“Let’s see, what do I need?” I said out loud as I prepared to move out of my own car for a few days.

I looked around. I keep a pair of mittens tucked into an alcove in the dashboard, and I thought about taking them with me. Then I decided not to – I do have other mittens – but I relinquished the car with the pleasant feeling of having been responsible rather than slapdash.

Thirty minutes later, I parked the rental car in a grocery store lot, reached for my cloth grocery bags, and remembered that they were still in my own car, now in the body shop. Although the occasional gathering-in of plastic bags isn’t that dreadful a thing – we do have uses for them – I nevertheless was annoyed not to have grabbed at least one or two of my own bags.

An hour later, I pulled up to my garage door and remembered something else: my electronic door opener. It too was in my car, keeping company with my shopping bags and the mittens I was so proud of myself for remembering. Muttering bad words (Clearly, I’m the kind of person who would leave her toes in the car if they weren’t connected to her feet) I unfolded myself from the driver’s seat, ran into the house, pushed the garage door button in there, ran back out, refolded myself into the seat, and drove the car into the garage, feel-

ing slapdash.

Later, though, I decided to blame my forgetfulness on the whole rental car process. Who MARGO can think when BARTLETT a person is surrendering her car keys and signing various documents even as a rental car person is waiting to take her for a ride?

In fact, when I was told that the rental people would meet me at the body shop, I concluded that I’d be driving off in the rental car right then, perhaps slowing down in front of the rental car agency so that the person who delivered the car could jump out. I didn’t realize that the rental person would drive me back to the rental place, where I would be inundated with questions and opportunities and decisions to make.

Incidentally, the next person to write a how-to book about making conversation with complete strangers might consider this scenario: Talking to a person who is driving you back to the car rental business to sign papers.

The rental person was friendly enough; no problem there. We talked briefly about the accident that left my car’s rear bumper broken, which led to the other accident that left my left hand broken, and we agreed that it certainly was a funny coincidence.

Then silence fell. The rental car business is quite close to the body shop, but our conversation so far left plenty of time to kill.

“So, will it ever stop raining?” the rental car person finally said.

Thank goodness for Ohio, I thought. I can’t imagine what California residents do in similar circumstances.

I wondered if the rental car person had been given training in the area of Talking to Customers.

The training could be broken

down by demographics or gender or maybe by whether or not the customer was carrying a basket of kittens.

I was developing sample conversation starters (“Are those your kittens?”) when we arrived at the rental car office, where I was asked (a) to pay for gas I hadn’t used yet; (b) to buy insurance so I wouldn’t need my insurance; and (c) if I’d be leaving the state.

Finally, I accepted the car keys and drove away, trying my best not to think about leaving the state. But you know how these things are. It’s like not thinking of an elephant; the moment you try not to, you do.

The car was loud; it was like what I imagine driving the Indianapolis 500 must be, if I drove the Indianapolis 500 at 35 mph and while trying to find a classic rock radio station.

Also, the driver’s seat was very low. The car might have had a seat-raising device, though I wasn’t sure; it was the kind of car in which the steering column might have been an option. At any rate, I never found it, so I spent the week feeling as if I were sitting in a beach chair, reaching up to grab the steering wheel and peer over the top of the dashboard.

One good thing, though: The car was red (“Candy-apple red” is how I put it in my mind) and it had New York plates. People who weren’t the kind of people who recognize rental cars (one clue was the gigantic sticker on the windshield) might have thought I’m a real New Yorker, in Ohio to … to … to drive around.

“To drive around in my candyapple red car,” I’d think jauntily to myself. And at that point, I’d have rested my left arm casually on the open driver’s window, except I was too far down in the car to reach it.

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 ED well into the LENTZ 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

Technology Site Planners, Thorbahn honored by chamber

By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Union County Chamber of Commerce honored representatives of the county’s business community at its annual dinner last weekend. Each year, the chamber recognizes business leaders and businesses that have made a difference in the community, according to tourism and public relations director Candace Watson.

The 2010 Small Business of the Year Award was given to Jim Schrader, owner of Technology Site Planners. The company is a design-engineering firm that specializes in providing evaluation, design, construction, and postconstruction services for missioncritical facilities, according to the company. Its services include site

audits, conceptual or schematic design and budgetary analysis, engineering, construction and preventive maintenance/testing.

For the purposes of the award, a small business is considered to employ fewer than 50 people. The award is selected for exemplifying a strong commitment to the community through volunteering and/or financial support, chamber involvement and success in the respective business sector, according to Watson.

The award for 2010 Business Leader of the Year was presented to Select Sires president and CEO Dave Thorbahn. Thorbahn is a past president of the chamber board of trustees, and is current chairman of the chamber’s Agriculture Association.

Chamber CEO Eric Phillips said

Thorbahn has provided leadership to the community.

“Dave has been a caring, thoughtful, dedicated leader for the chamber organization and our community,” Phillips said.

The top business leader is chosen based on exceptional leadership in the business community by dedicating efforts to community projects, events or organizations, thereby improving the quality of life in Union County, according to Watson.

A federation of 10 farmerowned-and-operated cooperatives, Select Sires Inc. provides services and programs to livestock breeders of dairy and beef cattle, including herd management products. Based in Plain City, Select Sires operates both nationally and globally.

Reams clarifies position on possible mayoral run ThisWeek Marysville reported Feb. 26 (“Many new faces expected in city roles,”) that Marysville City Councilman Mark Reams was among four other council members who indicated that they do not plan to run for mayor this year.

Reams later contacted ThisWeek with additional comments.

“As I said before, my main priority for the immediate future is to work to ensure a smooth

www.BYERSKIA.com

transition with a new mayor and director of administration,” Reams said. “After that, I will consider whether or not to run for mayor in the fall. I’ve been getting that question a lot lately and I’m not ready to say ‘no’ yet. As I said previously, the election is not until the fall, so I’ve got plenty of time to consider whether or not I’m going to say ‘yes’ to that question as well.”

Some of the basics taught ‘office boys’ still good today Continued from page A4

“How to answer telephone calls and the importance of always being courteous, even to the most peevish caller.

“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

tirely 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

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

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 business 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 en-

“Makes A Difference”

20,000 expected to watch St. Paddy’s parade in Dublin

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 12 with 20,000 of its closest friends.

The annual St. Patrick’s Day parade will step off from Metro Place at 11 a.m. March 12 with about 100 units traversing the mile-long route in about 90 minutes.

Dublin expects about 20,000 people to view the parade. The annual event recently drew attention from U.S. News and World Report as one of the top 10 St. Patrick’s Day celebrations across the nation.

“We get a lot of media exposure from the parade. A lot of people say, ‘What is Dublin doing for St. Patrick’s Day?’” said Mary Jo DiSalvo, a Dublin event administrator. “That’s why we get 20,000 people.”

The Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau received a notice from the national magazine about a month ago about a search for St. Patrick’s Day festivities, executive director Scott Dring said.

“We sent them some information and pitched Dublin as a great location for St. Patrick’s Day,” he said.

The pitch earned Dublin sixth

place.

The parade dubbed “the greenest and the grandest” by Dublin will include marching bands from Dublin’s three high schools, Cap City Pipes and Drums, horses, balloons, Irish dancers and a lot of other green entries.

Pat Shinnick, a bus driver for Dublin City Schools, will be in the parade with a school bus, decorated appropriately.

“Dublin schools are a big part of the community and we transport those young ones,” she said.

Shinnick and about 10 others from the district’s transportation department will volunteer their time and money to decorate the bus and travel the parade route.

“I truly enjoy it because I love to see the faces of people,” she said. “I’m a people and kids person anyway. I just like to see people happy and hand out literature to them and tell them what we’re about.”

Dublin City School employees aren’t the only volunteers at the parade. The city depends upon volunteers for jobs including handling balloons, manning information tents and walking the parade route.

Anyone interested in volunteering for the parade can call Judy Godsey at (614) 410-4404 or e-

mail jgodsey@dublin.oh.us.

The mile-long route that begins at Metro Place travels north on Frantz Road to Bridge Street, where it heads east to Historic Dublin could get crowded with 20,000 expected.

DiSalvo recommended people get there early to secure a spot along the parade route.

But earlier arrivers won’t be alone. The Irish rock band, the Hooligans, will start playing at 10 a.m. on the lawn of Indian Run Elementary School, 80 W. Bridge St. Some other pre-parade entertainment will be offered in the parking lot of Crowne Plaza. The Inflation Celebration will begin at 8:30 a.m., showing the public how parade balloons get off the ground.

“There’s a lot more to it than anyone has ever known,” DiSalvo said.

La Scala will host the Blarney Hop across the river following the parade from noon to 4 p.m. The event is a fundraiser and kickoff for the Dublin Relay for life.

Historic Dublin businesses will also offer goodies on March 12.

Java Jan, Our Cupcakery, Real Living HER, The Sisters Sweet Shoppe and Starbucks have specials and freebies lined up for the celebration.

Support Services helps individuals and families coordinate needed services.

Marysville’s Morgan Miller battles Brunswick’s Caleb Curtis in a 189-pound match March 3 during the DIvision I state meet at Ohio State. Miller is expected to be one of the top returnees.

Wrestling

Coach happy with team’s progression

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

At a glance

The Marysville High School wrestling team maintained its high standards during the 201011 season.

The Monarchs qualified four wrestlers for the Division I state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State, with junior Tyler Miller at 152 pounds and sophomore Noah Forrider at 130 leading the way with sixth-place finishes.

Freshman David Sparks at 103 and sophomore Morgan Miller, Tyler’s brother, at 189 also qualified, but did not place.

Marysville finished 26th (17.5 points) behind champion Lakewood St. Edward (187).

The Monarchs had the secondhighest finish among area teams behind Hilliard Davidson (13th, 35).

Last season, Marysville qualified eight wrestlers for state and finished fourth (64.5) behind firstplace Wadsworth (172). In 2009, the Monarchs qualified three wrestlers for state and were 10th (39) behind first-place St. Edward (111.5).

After losing his first-round match to Piqua’s Kyle Bryant 42, Tyler Miller won his next three matches before eventually settling for sixth. Miller (37-12) lost to Cincinnati Elder’s Tyler Hardtke 5-4 in the fifth-place match.

•Finishes: 4-3 (fourth) in OCC-Cardinal, second at sectional, third at district, 26th at state •Seniors lost: Lucas Parker and Cody Yonis •Key returnees: Noah Forrider, Morgan Miller, Tyler Miller and David Sparks

Forrider (41-10) lost in a quarterfinal to Wadsworth’s Alfredo Gray 4-3 and lost again to Gray in the fifth-place match 4-2 in the ultimate tiebreaker period.

“All of my matches were close down to one or two points,” Forrider said. “Some of them I just let them slip by me. I was never dominated by anyone. It was a good time. Tyler and I roomed together, and both of us got sixth.”

Forrider is a two-time state qualifier, finishing eighth last season at 119.

Sparks (37-8) went 1-2 at state and Morgan Miller (29-11) was 0-2.

At district Feb. 25-26 at Hilliard Darby, Marysville (91) finished third behind Olentangy Liberty (128.5) and Springboro (101).

Forrider and Morgan Miller won district titles.

At the home sectional Feb. 19, the Monarchs finished second (219.5) behind Davidson (239.5).

Sparks and Forrider won sectional titles.

“The highlight for me as a coach this season was seeing the

progression of our kids,” coach Shawn Andrews said. “We kind of got beat up the first week and then won a couple of tournaments (the Marysville Dual Tournament on Dec. 11 and the Troy Christian Tournament on Dec. 18).”

After Forrider finished seventh at the Brecksville Holiday Tournament on Dec. 29-30 but no one else placed, the Monarchs began to hit their stride.

“We only had one guy place at the Brecksville tournament and then at the Top Gun Tournament (on Jan. 14-15 at Alliance) we had six guys place, and at the sectional tournament we had 12 guys place. Being third at district and having four state qualifiers, again I think the highlight for me was the progression of our kids.”

Marysville finished fourth in the OCC-Cardinal Division at 43 behind Olentangy (7-0), Olentangy Liberty (6-1) and Westerville North (5-2) and ahead of Dublin Jerome (2-5), Dublin Scioto (2-5), Westerville South (2-5) and Westerville Central (0-7).

Sparks at 103 and Forrider at 130 were first-team all-league.

Sophomore Chase Boyd at 140 and Tyler Miller at 152 were second-team all-league, junior Tyler Mays at 145 and Morgan Miller at 189 were named to the third team, and freshman Jacob Thornton at 112 and junior Thomas See MONARCHS, page B2

Commentary

Patriots reach final four in fourth varsity season 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 seniors for the Patriots, who 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 were 27-8-1 before play-

ing top-ranked Toledo St. Francis in a state semifinal March 12. The state championship will be played at noon Sunday, March 13 at Nationwide Arena.

“Yeah, I almost SCOTT fell with (the trophy), HENNEN 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 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 roomonly 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

Lots of vino and voluptuous food at Tucci’s in Dublin The first thing you notice when you tread into the terrific Tucci’s is a chalkboard with 16 special wines listed on it. These are all available in two-, four- and sixounce pours that will never be overoxidized because Tucci’s owns a fancy Enomatica machine. If you’ve never seen one, they’re sleek, state-of-the-art appliances that feature high-tech wine preservation systems and deliver automated pours.

Given this fact — and the existence of about 150 more wines on Tucci’s menu — it’s clear vino is big here. But you could have gathered that from all the burgundyred accents in the casually elegant restaurant or from the convivial laughter bubbling up from its bustling, bottle-laden tables.

Don’t think that Tucci’s is consistently busy just because of its hooch, though. No, this prettily

by G.A. Benton golden-glowing eatery with both intimate and communal seating serves some of the best food around. Toss in a friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff, and you have one of the top-tier restaurants in the area.

Tucci’s menu is big but not overwhelming. It’s filled with influences from Italy, Asia, California and even Hawaii.

Most of these influences surface in the huge Outrigger Canoe Combo appetizer ($17). That fun, fry-happy app came with a boatload of: spicy scallops (perfectly “blackened,” served with a mustardy sauce and cooling gorgonzola); calamari laced with ba-

nana peppers and Parmesan (matched with a sort of Italian salsa); colorful Big Island Chips (made with root veggies like taro and lotus); and a shiitake, tomato and onion filled eggroll with a cit-

rusy soy sauce.

For a more modest starter, pick the Bibb Salad ($7). Like an elegant upgrade from that popular and still-resurgent iceberg wedge, its tender leaves of bibb lettuce were coated in a horseradishy gorgonzola dressing and further flattered by crispy bacon lardons and diced tomatoes.

Some of the best dining deals here are Tucci’s good, handmade pizzas ($10-$12) and stylish pastas ($10-$18, available in smaller sized and priced portions).

From the latter, the Spaghetti Bolognese ($10 for the “small” — it was big) was a winner. A chunky, believable and completely delicious bolognese sauce was tossed with whole wheat pasta.

The sophisticated entree had a complex, parmesan-enhanced richness slightly leavened by bits of bright tomato.

Monday-Thursday, 5-11 p.m.

Friday-Saturday Tucci’s proudly serves organically raised, grass-fed beef. This makes its great 14-ounce New York Strip Steak ($35) a relatively guiltrestrained splurge. Beautifully grillseared, it was thick and lean but super juicy and had a mild but nice “chew.” Its very fine plate mates (garlicky sauteed spinach and mushrooms, fingerling potatoes and a fruity “cabernet demi”) were

cleverly designed to keep the focus on the high-grade meat.

Seafood’s prevalent here, too.

It comes in various varieties and styles, but even fish eschewers probably couldn’t resist the refined fish-n-chips treatment of the Chorizo-Crusted Grouper ($23). I loved its crunchy crust (with bits of spicy sausage) and goat cheese potato cake as well as its spicy “tomatoscallion emulsion.”

To finish, the buttery and caramel-y Apple Tartlette ($7) — with big clusters of candied nuts plus smoky, spicy and gingery notes — was more complex than I might’ve thought.

Ditto for this excellent restaurant.

Warma for the shawarma: Spit-roasted meats gaining popularity Behold the vertical rotisserie, a magnificent machine that is being used by a growing number of ethnic restaurants in Columbus.

Spit-roasted options are the signature dishes at such newcomers as Lavash, Pita Hut, Los Guachos and Lashish, the Greek.

The electric broiler rotates a composite of meat in front of bright-orange heating lamps, which melt away fat and leave the outside golden brown and glistening with moisture. The outer shell is then sliced off per order, and often placed in a pita or is part of a larger plate ensemble.

Most everyone is at least familiar with the gyro, brown cuts of herb-flecked meat cut from the large, twirling cylinder, and garnished with shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes and tzatziki inside a soft pita.

While not new, a different brand of twirling, carnivorous delight is tempting local diners: the shawarma. Several local restaurants offer their own variations.

The place offers nine condiments, from hummus to cucumbers, for added flavor.

“That’s the important part, always,” he said.

The sauce also is a big part of the equation, Recipe of the week says Nasir Latif, owner of Lavash, also in Clintonville.

He offers a simple but bold garlic sauce for his two shawarma options: a Lebanese-style using lamb and beef and a chicken selection.

Latif said big beehive-shaped columns of meat pirouetting behind the counter help draw in customers.

“It looks good,” he said. “It tastes good.”

Shish Kebab Mediterranean Café and Café Istanbul use the rotisserie to make doner, the Turkish equivalent of gyro.

Ilyas Batuk, chef and partner of Shish Kebab on Bethel Road, said the secret to excellent doner is using a good fat ratio – 25 percent – and forcefully compressing the ground beef and lamb mixture on the spit, which gives it a fine texture.

“If you don’t have the fat, it’s no good,” he said.

Customers seem to agree, as the doner is one of the top sellers in the restaurant.
