Census shows city grew by 31 percent By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers Grove City’s population has increased by 31 percent in the last 10 years, according to preliminary data from the 2010 U.S. Census. The new census shows the city’s total population is 35,575, an increase of 8,500 people over the 2000 census.

Development director Chuck Boso said Grove City officials weren’t entirely surprised by the results. “We receive estimates from (the MidOhio Regional Planning Commission), and actually this was a slight bit higher, but not much,” Boso said. The results show Grove City as the Columbus suburb with the second-highest population growth since 2000, trail-

ing Dublin’s growth of 10,392. “I think it makes a statement about how people have realized what a great place Grove City is to live,” said mayor Richard “Ike” Stage. “I think we’ve handled (the growth) extremely well because of good planning with our infrastructure and streets and the availability of property for housing.”

Boso agreed. “Whenever you have an increase, especially of that number ... people must like what we’re doing in terms of housing choices, the educational system, the safety of the community and community amenities,” Boso said. “We offer golf courses, shopping, restaurants, and employment opportunities.”

Much of the last decade’s growth has taken place east of Interstate 71 and south of Stringtown Road in the area near the Pinnacle development, Boso said. He estimated that 1,000 to 1,200 residents have moved into that area in recent years. “That growth is a good indicator that people like what we’re doing as a comSee CENSUS, page A2

City says $235,311 missing in IRS case By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Westland High School teachers, from left, Jack Buckingham, retired, John Weddendorf and Shane Harris, wear blue shirts to show their support of the South-Western Education Association teachers’ union while attending the school board meeting March 14.

Board hears views on union talks By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Several residents on March 14 urged SouthWestern City school board members to take a tough stance during ongoing contract talks with two unions, while a teacher told the board it must be fair to employees. Amy Rist, who said she is a teacher and has three children, called on the board members to be leaders in these challenging economic times. “What kind of leaders do we have in the South-Western City School Distinct?” she asked.

“We’re expecting fair and equitable treatment.” Both the South-Western Education Association and the Ohio Association of Public School Employees have been working without contracts since June 30. Federal mediators are handling the negotiations. Negotiators for teachers and the district have not met in a formal session since Dec. 20. OAPSE last met with district officials on Feb. 7. Superintendent Bill Wise before the meeting said the teachers’ union initiated an “informal” discussion with the district last week. Such dis-

cussions are permissible, he said. He declined to elaborate. “Our major focus is the state budget to be released this week,” he said. “The state budget may force districts to re-evaluate the assumptions we put in the five-year financial forecast.” Gov. John Kasich was to release his proposed two-year state budget on March 15. The state faces a projected $8-billion deficit and significant cuts are expected. South-Western included an estimated 10-per-

Grove City officials have determined that $235,311 in city funds is unaccounted for, and the missing money is the focus of the police investigation into the city’s tax debt, city finance director Mike Turner said. The debt to the Internal Revenue Service for unfiled and late federal taxes could end up costing Grove City more than $1.4-million if the missing money is included, Turner said. Insurance or other sources might cover some of the lost funds, he said. Turner’s preliminary estimate of the unpaid taxes and penalties includes $389,683 from 19992006 and $790,184 from 2007-2010. Turner on March 11 said he’s been working on the estimate for several months. “I’ve been collecting information on and off since we got the notice,” from the Internal Revenue Service in December 2010, he said. In a March 7 memo to mayor Richard “Ike” Stage, Turner said, “Throughout the years, funds from tax withholdings have been used to pay ... penalties, interest and tax withholdings” for the preceding four-month periods. “The ensuing shortage in the payroll account has resulted in a continual process of creating additional penalties and interest,” the memo said. The law firm Schottenstein Zox & Dunn, working on behalf of the city, is asking the IRS to abate some of the penalties and interest. “We have until the end of the month to outline our reasonable grounds for the abatement with

“No one checks more facts than Ben. Ben’s legacy will be that his brand of journalism will live on Ben Cason through our staff because Ben showed them the way as he coached, mentored and nurtured them.

It was all about better reporting, better editing, better writing. For Ben, content is key, regardless of whether it’s in print or online. “It will be very strange to walk in the newsroom on March 21 and know Ben won’t be there,” she said. “We’re losing a wealth of experience and institutional knowledge — but I think I can safely say that Ben’s influence will continue to be felt for a long time.” “Ben came to ThisWeek three

CENSUS Continued from page A1 munity, and I think that trend will continue,” Boso said. Grove City, which covers 14 square miles, also is poised for more growth heading into the future. “I think by 2039 we’re supposed to be the largest suburb,” Stage said, citing MORPC population estimates. The city is far from built out and has many acres already being serviced by Columbus water and sewer, Boso said, which is a prerequisite for commercial development.

“It’s not inconceivable that at some point in time we would double the amount of this census,” he said. The city is in no hurry and “not in a race to do that,” he said. The official announcement of the city’s census results will have little practical impact on city government, at least for now. The city charter dictates that council examine the populations of its four wards every 10 years and redistrict the wards if they are disproportionate. If the largest and smallest ward have more than a 40-percent population difference, they must be

redistricted so all four are within 20 percent of each other, Boso said. Clerk of council Tami Kelly said she’s been awaiting the census data to see if redistricting is needed. “Once the census information comes out, we use that to determine the population of each ward,” Kelly said. “The goal was to set them up so we wouldn’t have to (redistrict). We anticipated growth in (some) areas.” The wards were last redistricted after the results of the 2000 census were released. The 1990 census did not create any changes.

adds up to over $1.4-million under this worst-case scenario, so to speak,” Turner said at the March 7 city council meeting. “If we do suffer the worst-case scenario, over $1.1-million will have been paid to the Internal Revenue Service in penalties and interest.” In addition, the city might spend $105,000 in legal fees and has hired an outside consulting firm at a cost of up to $20,000 to investigate the causes behind the tax errors. In early December, the Internal Revenue Service told the city it owed about $685,905 in

unpaid payroll withholding taxes. An initial investigation identified more unpaid quarterly tax returns totaling about $370,000, with discrepancies in the city’s books beginning in 1999. On Dec. 10, the city placed payroll specialist Jackie Kincade, 61, on paid leave. She submitted her retirement effective Jan. 7 and has denied any wrongdoing. Earlier this month, police spokesman Capt. Steve Robinette said police had not yet confirmed if a theft took place in connection with the IRS debt.

Cason said working for newspapers that were family-owned has been important to him. “I feel fortunate to have worked for family-run operations almost my entire career — the Wolfe family in Columbus, the Graham family at The Washington Post and Nelson Poynter at The St. Petersburg Times,” Cason said. “Journalism is almost always better when it’s run by families who

live in the communities than by faceless large newspaper chains.” Cason said he remains a proponent of community journalism. “I think community journalism is the future of journalism,” he said.

As it were

Ralston Steel Car Co. was â€˜a truly greatâ€™ enterprise It was an immense operation: At its height, the Ralston Steel Car Co. employed hundreds of people. Much of it is gone now. A few of the factory buildings remain. But in its time â€”for almost 50 years â€” the Ralston Steel Car Co. was a great Columbus success. That story and the story of the man who made it happen are well worth retelling. ED Joseph LENTZ Stevenson Ralston was born near Hamilton, Ontario, in 1865. His father, Robert Ralston, was a recent immigrant from Ireland. His mother, Sarah Springer Ralston, came from a family that had been in America since 1680 but had fled to Canada during the American Revolution because of their loyalty to the crown. Like a number of people in Canada, and certainly like many more in the United States, Joseph Ralston was a restless young man. After receiving a basic education, Ralston went to sea on a ship called the City of Calcutta out of Glasgow, Scotland. After a fouryear apprenticeship, he came home, but soon was on the move once again. He spent a year in a lumber camp in Michigan and followed that with another year as a newspaper reporter. He then turned to the sale of real estate for a time and then began to read law at night while he worked during the day. He would never practice law, but he would always claim its study helped him in his later activities. Along the way, he married Anna Mar of Caledonia, Ontario. They had four children, three of whom lived to adulthood. By the turn of the century, Joseph Ralston was working in Chicago for a large manufacturer of railroad cars. To anyone who lives in central Ohio today and arrives at a railroad crossing â€” with dozens of coal cars passing by â€” it may

come as some surprise to learn there was a time not all that long ago when most of those coal cars did not exist. At the turn of the 20th century, the railroads were some of the most powerful corporations in America. But for all of that, most freight was still moved in wooden cars: box cars, tank cars or open top â€œgondolaâ€?

cars. Many of these cars had to be unloaded by hand. Joseph Ralston, working with a young engineer named Anton Becker, developed plans for a new type of car. The entire car would be made of durable steel and would have a series of 16 trap See AS IT WERE, page A5

Astronomical government spending over the past years has pushed our national debt to more than $14-trillion and counting. My daughter, Sarah, is over a year old and when she was born, her share of the national debt was $35,000. Today, it is around $45,000. This is alarming, and Congress must start making the tough decisions on spending so we can provide our children with a better future. Many federal programs have received funding increases over the last several years that outpaced both inflation and the growth of the American family budget. In fact, over the past two years, regular non-defense, discretionary funding has increased by 24 percent, while the stimulus bill alone cost around $821billion. This spending spree is unacceptable and unsustainable. Across Ohio and the nation, families prioritize their own budgets to make ends meet and they should expect no less of Congress. We did not land in this spending crisis overnight and we will not turn around it around overnight; however, vote by vote, Congress can reduce the out-ofcontrol spending and debt. The U.S. House of Represen-

tatives has already moved forward in reducing government spending in a number of ways. It was important STEVE that the first STIVERS step in putting the nationâ€™s fiscal house in order was to start by cutting our own office budgets by 5 percent, for a savings of around $35.2-million. Then in January, we voted to repeal the health care law, which would cut new spending by $2.6-trillion over 10 years and reduce the deficit by $700-billion. Furthermore, I joined my colleagues in cutting $100-billion from the budget for the rest of fiscal year 2011, which goes through September of this year. Now that it has passed the House, the budget for the rest of this fiscal year is now under consideration by the U.S. Senate. Lastly, I voluntarily cut my own salary by 5 percent and each month, I return that amount to the U.S Treasury to go toward paying off the national debt. These are just the first steps in the process of turning around our nationâ€™s spending and debt crisis. As Speaker Boehner recently announced, the next step

will be entitlement reform. When addressing this issue, we need to ensure that promises made are promises kept and those who are reliant on these programs today are not adversely impacted. However, we need to make certain that these programs are not just around for our parents or ourselves but that they are still around for our children and grandchildren. The longer we put off reform of these programs, the harder it will be to fix down the road. Republicans and Democrats need to work together for Congress to make any progress on this issue. I look forward to having an open and honest conversation with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle on entitlement reform in the coming months. If we want to give our children a brighter future where they are not buried under a mountain of debt, then we need to learn to live within our means today. That is why this Congress has made reducing government spending a priority and we will continue to move forward with our commitment to restore fiscal responsibility to our country.

this went on, it completely gutted the interior of the old building and then proceeded to build a brand new building several hundred feet long to accommodate an assembly line to produce rail cars. When all of that was done, the company then went back and tore down the old building and replaced it with a new building. And while all of this was happening, it continued to build steel cars. Between 1906 and 1911, the company built more than 10,000 of the new cars and soon found them shipped to all parts of the world. As just one example, in 1909, the company sold 50 of its cars to the South Manchurian Railway and sent the entire consignment to China in pieces, packed in crates. Over the years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. built not only a factory but an entire community on the East Side of Columbus. The area sat on the north side of the rail yards to the east of Milo Grogan. It was a self-contained world with most of its residents earning their livelihoods at the great factory. Joseph Ralston died in 1920. F. E. Simons led the company from 1920 to 1935 and he was followed by Frank Livingston in the years after World War II. Through all of those years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. was one of the great industrial businesses of Columbus. Changes in Americaâ€™s rail transport business after World War II made the company less competitive and it went out of business in 1953. If you visit the near East Side of Columbus today it is still not all that difficult to find the streets and structures and other traces of the Ralston Steel Car Co. â€” a truly great American enterprise.

doors along its bottom to permit coal or anything else to be quickly unloaded. Building a sample car, the two young inventors demonstrated their product to some railroads that hauled a lot of coal. Several of them in Columbus said they would buy the new car if the inventors could find a place to manufacture it. They did just that. The Rarig Engineering Co. had been in business for some time at a distance from downtown Columbus along the rail lines that came into town from the east. Rarig had had some success making engines for industrial use, boilers, and even the superstructure for iron bridges. In the years before the Spanish American War, the company decided that its future lay in what we would today call â€œdefense contracts.â€? The Navy was expanding in size and influence. The Army was more involved in more places more frequently, as well. All of these people would need heavy-duty artillery and the ordnance carriages to hold them. With outbreak of the Spanish American War, the company converted to wartime production in the confident assumption that the war would last for some time. The war lasted for 90 days. Not long thereafter, for a number of reasons, the company went out of business. It was at this fortuitous moment that Joseph Ralston and Anton Becker came to town looking for a factory location. They found the Rarig site. Beginning in 1905, Ralston and his financial backers began a process that was nothing short of amazing. Rarig Engineering had a big factory building but little about it had anything to do with building rail cars. The new company took the building and began to build rail cars.

Board hears different views on union talks Continued from page A1 cent state funding cut in its fiveyear forecast. That would mean nearly $9-million less during fiscal year 2011. The district is projecting nearly $210-million in total revenues next fiscal year and $198-million in expenditures. A $43-million carryover from fiscal year 2010 is expected. That will change if cuts deeper than 10 percent occur, Wise said. Rob Starrett, who ran for the school board in 2009, Garrett Myers, husband of school board member Jo Ellen Myers, and long-time district critic Terry Jones all challenged the board to stick up for taxpayers in the current negotiations. “I ask as a taxpayer not to fold under” to the unions, Myers said. “Please don’t consider a contract longer than one year.” He said he is sure the community is behind them. “Tough

choices can be made.” Jones told the board that more than 80 percent of the district’s budget goes to employee wages and benefits. “The simple fact is the (federal) government is broke. The state and local governments are broke. ... South-Western has to deal with its own budget,” Jones said. He said now is not the time for the unions to look for more concessions and money from the district. Starrett said district residents approved an operating levy about

Military notes Air Force Airman Giovanni M. Delprince graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Delprince Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. He is the son of Linda Delprince of Grove City. The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies; Air Force core values; physical fitness; and basic warfare principles and skills. Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Delprince is a 2008 graduate of Central Crossing High School.

a year ago that will bring in an estimated $18.5-million a year. That money should not be wasted, he said. He noted that what he called reforms such as the proposed Senate Bill 5, which is now in the Ohio House, could significantly affect South-Western’s finances. The proposed bill would severely limit collective bargaining in the state. “I hope the board and the unions use sound business practices,” Starrett said. “(You can’t) continue to go to the taxpayers.”

But perhaps the best and most popular musical of the late 20th century is Les Miserables. (It’s The Beat’s favorite, anyway.)

Vino Vino in Grandview; so nice they named it twice When I first wrote about Vino Vino around five years ago, the little Grandview hub had a lot of buzz about it. Well, frankly, I hadn’t heard much Vino Vino talk lately. After a few recent visits, I think I know why: Its many patrons are trying to keep this terrific place (and its brashly flavored, artfully plated dishes sold at really great prices) all to themselves. Comfy, urbane, sophisticated, casual — these were the adjectives that popped into my brain as Brazilian music played (a much appreciated Vino Vino mainstay) and I perused the lengthy vino list. The wine-named place has a few flights with grinning descriptions, a ton of bottles that range from an unoaked Chilean chard (Cousino Macal, $22) to a big Barolo (Marcarini, $80) and lots of foodfriendly juice in between. Salads are certainly solid here. The Charleston ($6) is one of those walnut and Maytag blue cheese numbers, but nicely done — with earthy julienned veggies and a lightly applied bright vinai-

It’s like a spicy and creamy version minus the anchovy but plus sweet corn kernels and a hunk of fresh avocado. Before moving on, I should mention that the last salad — along with a bunch of other goodies — are available in smaller portions for $3 (some are $4) during Vino Vino’s spectacular happy hour, which is one of the best in town. Other happy hour highlights include: a killer Fish Taco (get the lettuce wrap option) that’s bold, huge and colorful and easily rivals any in the city; a very nifty crab cake actually packed with crab, nicely butter-browned and offering a flattering hint of mustard; a super-juicy sirloin and portobello slider; and an excel-

goat cheese. Fried chicken took a fun and nutty Thai turn in the Pistachio Crusted Chicken ($13). Two large logs of juicy boneless breast meat were pistachioed and bread crumbed and presented in crusty jackets. They were accompanied by dense and garlicky smashed redskins, a nice veggie medley starring broccoli and a sweet Thai-like chili sauce. The Roasted Salmon ($15) was a platefilling big fillet of grill-marked pink fish roused into specialness by a butter sauce with an intense lemon zestiness. Jasmine rice was on the side for sopping up the attention-demanding sauce. A dense but not super heavy NYCstyle cheesecake ($6) was good on its own, but even better with its accessories — nuts, fruit, syrup and cinnamon.

Molten in the middle, the tangy cheese had a highly attractive, crackly brown crust. Cutting the richness were an herby, chunky and addictive marinara sauce plus a little balsamic-drizzled salad.

Northland welcomes Nigerian restaurant on Cleveland Ave. Esther Ajiboye thinks Columbus is ready for something many residents rarely, if ever, have tried: Nigerian cuisine. Ajiboye and her husband Olawale have opened Intercontinental Restaurant, a 30-seat eatery in the Northland area. Opening day two weeks ago, the restaurant served 200 customers. Since then, a steady stream of diners has flowed

through Intercontinental, supping on such dishes as plantains with spinach, goat meat with mixed okra stew and fish pepper soup. “We’ve been very busy,” Mrs. Ajiboye said. The reason, she suspects, is the

paucity of Nigerian restaurants in the region. In fact, she claims that Intercontinental, 5777 Cleveland Ave., is the only one in the state. Also in its favor are the healthful aspects of the cuisine — nothing is deep-fried — and the price. All meals start out at $7.99. Prices go up if customers ask for extra portions. “We give you what will fill you up,” she said. “We don’t ration

Esther and Olawale Ajiboye have opened Intercontinental Restaurant featuring Nigerian cuisine at 5777 Cleveland Ave.

it.” Both Ajiboyes are from the western part of Nigeria, where each owned a restaurant. “Cooking brought us together,” Mrs. Ajiboye said. “Food brought us together.” “This is the first time we are working together,” her husband said. “I enjoy it. She’s a good cook.” Columbus is no stranger to regional African cuisines, offering a wide variety of styles: Figs Café (a mix of Ghanaian and Western fare), Blue Nile (Ethiopian) and Solay Bistro (Somali), for example. Mr. Ajiboye said many of the restaurant’s West African dishes, such as jollof rice, are shared throughout most of the continent. One of the most popular dishes at Intercontinental is moi moi, made from a base of black-eyed peas that are soaked, peeled, cooked and pureed, and seasoned with a variety of ingredients. After it is boiled in foil and firms up into a loaf, the moi moi is cut into pieces to be eaten on their own or served with meat. Another big seller is egusi soup, made of melon seeds, and often served with a ball of pounded yam, where diners peel off pieces of the globe and dip it into the soup as they eat. Mrs. Ajiboye said the spice level of the dishes is mild and suited to most diners but there is a

habanero salsa served tableside for those who want a spicy condiment. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614-843-5665. Spain Restaurant is opening a second site in Lewis Center. The Spanish eatery, a Northland staple for 12 years, will take over the site most recently occupied by Beebs Deli, 76 Powell Road.

The 3,500-square-foot building, which will seat around 100 people, is just west of U.S. Route 23. The menu and pricing structure will remain largely unchanged, said general manager Luis Aguilar. A specific opening date is not certain, but it should be ready within two months. He said the plan is to keep the current site at 888 E. DublinGranville Road and have a less formal menu.

State transportation budget approved State Rep. Cheryl Grossman (R-Grove City) has announced that after more than two weeks of committee hearings and deliberation, the Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 114 — the state transporta- Cheryl tion budget — with unani- Grossman mous support. The bill now moves to the Ohio Senate. The transportation budget outlines appropriations totaling $7-billion, including more than $2-billion allocated each year for the construction and maintenance of Ohio’s roadways. In total, the Ohio House reduced transportation spending by nearly $15-million compared with the executive proposal and reduces the total fee burden on Ohioans by more than $5million annually. “I am pleased that we were able to decrease the fees for our residents,” Grossman said in a press release. “The overall reduction in the budget as requested shows our priority of being fiscally responsible while providing the most efficient method to maintain and build our infrastructure.” Among other initiatives, House Bill 114 consolidates Bureau of Motor Vehicles services and reduces BMV spending by about $6.7-million in the first year and $7.7-million in the second year. It also specifies that the next-of-kin form provided at the BMV be extended to renewals of drivers’ licenses and applications, as well as renewals of motorcycle licenses. The transportation budget also promotes ef-

ficiency and customer service in the governmental duties regarding licensing and operation of motor vehicles. For example, in counties with populations greater than 40,000 residents, county clerks of courts will have the authority to serve as deputy registrars. Local entities will have more flexibility to co-locate and provide better service, and in counties where the auditor serves as deputy registrar, county clerks of courts and county auditors may share an office space to more efficiently perform their public duties. House Bill 114 aims to protect Ohio jobs by including appropriations for the Public Works Commission (PWC), specifically $150-million for the state capital improvement program and $49-million for the revolving loan fund while also increasing the amount for local governments. In total, the PWC appropriation is projected to retain as many as 30,000 Ohio jobs. Additionally, the legislation improves Ohio’s business climate by creating an online titling program for commercial vehicles and easing restrictions on transportation of Ohio’s farm commodities and agricultural products.

Grove City Lanes has new owners Taste of Grove City By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A new pair of owners has taken over Grove City Lanes, 3940 Broadway. Archie Mills and his business partner, J.R. Rucker, recently bought the business and hope to restore the bowling alley to its former glory. “It dates back to the early ’50s,” Mills said. “It’s got a lot of history there ... in the downtown area.” The latest owners focused on the bar inside the building, but Mills and Rucker hope to bring families back to the alley. “We want it to be the community center of the downtown area,” Mills said. Children will be allowed one free game per day this summer. The new owners also plan to offer “Penny a Pin” night on Sundays after 5 p.m. Mills does maintenance work

“

What we want to do is get it back to its original beauty. ... It’s not in bad shape. A lot of the equipment is so old that it’s hard to find parts. It’s one of only three bowling alleys in Ohio that still have wooden lanes.”

”

ARCHIE MILLS —Owner, Grove City Lanes

for the Diocese of Columbus, and Rucker works in a local warehouse. “We both still kept our real jobs. We just plan on making it a neighborhood type of establishment and a safe place for kids to come to,” Mills said. They also hope to host bowling lessons and leagues beginning this summer. Mills said he and Rucker weren’t looking for a bowling alley to purchase, but heard it was available and wanted to keep

it from shutting down entirely. “It’s a lot of history for downtown Grove City,” Mills said. “We believe it shouldn’t go away. We believe people should enjoy it for years to come.” Though the pair bought only the business, not the building, they hope to slowly put their money into restoring and upgrading the alley. “What we want to do is get it back to its original beauty. ... It’s not in bad shape,” Mills said. “A lot of the equipment is so old

that it’s hard to find parts. It’s one of only three bowling alleys in Ohio that still have wooden lanes.” They’ve already done some work on the pinsetters to minimize breakdowns. Mills said they plan to clean the building thoroughly, paint the inside and put up new screens. They also want to renovate the building’s small kitchen. “Eventually, our goal is to get everything like new, but it’s going to take years and it’s going to take community support,” he said. Mills and Rucker will host a grand opening from 5 to 10 p.m. March 16 with free games of bowling. Wings and drinks will be available for purchase. Regular hours are noon to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, noon to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday.

slated on March 23 The Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce will hold the third annual Taste of Grove City and Business Expo from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 23, at the South-Western Career Academy, 4750 Big Run South Road. The event will showcase some of Grove City’s most popular restaurants and most prominent businesses. The event is open to the public; admission is $5. The Grove City Food Pantry will benefit from a portion of the proceeds. The Business Expo will feature more than 80 exhibitors, ranging from beauty services, to financial advisors to home improvement companies. Exhibitors will distribute informational material and giveaways. “This event seems to become more popular each year,” said

the chamber executive director, Bill Diehl. “Last year we attracted more than 1,000 attendees.” This year, 25 restaurants and food vendors will participate, including Cimi’s Bistro, The Garden Café on Broadway, O’Charley’s, Graeters, Wedgewood Pizza, Raising Cane, Talita’s Mexican Kitchen, Tammy’s Pizza, Los Jalapenos and Cold Stone Creamery. Patrons will have the opportunity to sample a wide variety of local food. “The Taste of Grove City and Business Expo is a winwin for business owners and the community,” said Diehl. “It gives local businesses access to a diverse segment of the consumer public, and patrons an opportunity to experience what Grove City has to offer.”

Wrestling

Comets ‘peaked at the right time’ By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

At a glance

After a season that produced a state placer, the Central Crossing High School wrestling team believes it once again can be a force in the Central District. With everyone expected back but two seniors, the Comets hope to capitalize on the way this season ended. “That’s what we’re trying to do,” coach Jamie Ramirez said. “We knew we’d be a better tournament team this year than a dual-meet team. We really liked our experienced kids, but our inexperienced kids stepped up and we know we peaked at the right time. We’re going to keep it going next season.” The Comets’ season concluded March 5 at the Division I state tournament at Ohio State. A year after having just one district qualifier in 2010 graduate Isaac Redfern, the Comets had two state qualifiers in senior Gage Hysell at 152 pounds and junior Vince Pickett at 160. The two were practice partners. Pickett went 4-2 at state and finished fourth after getting pinned by Mayfield’s Tylan Coleman in 2 minutes, 22 seconds in the third-place match. He is expected to lead a group of returnees that includes district qualifiers in junior Dez Hauber (135) and freshman Josh

CENTRAL CROSSING •Finishes: Sixth in OCC-Central, fourth at sectional, 10th at district, 33rd at state •Seniors lost: Aaron Hardy and Gage Hysell •Key returnees: Dez Hauber, Vince Pickett and Josh Wimer GROVE CITY •Finishes: Fifth in OCC-Ohio, fifth at sectional, 23rd at district •Seniors lost: Josh Barker, Robert Coles, Jose Hughes, Nick Kowaleski, Zach Reynard and Jarred Todd •Key returnees: Caleb Dick and Jordan Shoemaker

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Junior Dez Hauber (top) of Central Crossing is one of three district qualifiers expected to return and lead the Comets next season.

Wimer (103). Pickett was eighth in the state in Division III as a sophomore while competing at Williamsport Westfall. Having a two-time state placer in the room should serve as motivation for Pickett’s teammates, Ramirez said.

“That’s very valuable when you have a two-time returning state placer,” Ramirez said. “His goals always are to be a state champion. Now he’s going to know what that takes and what kind of work that takes to make that happen. The other guys see that.”

Hysell was 0-2 at state. He and senior Aaron Hardy are the lone Comets leaving. In addition to Pickett, Hauber and Wimer, others expected to return are juniors Joe Householder (112), Steven Stone (171) and Trenton Thomas (112), sophomores Kyle Farris (130) and Jorge Jimenez (125)

and freshmen Hunter Blevins (215), Gavin McKenney (112), Tommy Stone (171) and Hunter Taylor (125). Pickett’s performance earned Central Crossing 14 points at state, placing it 33rd behind champion Lakewood St. Edward (187).

The Comets placed 10th (56.5) in the district tournament Feb. 25-26 at Hilliard Darby behind champion Olentangy Liberty (128.5). On Feb. 19, they scored 127 points at the Westland sectional to place fourth behind champion Lancaster (180). The Comets were sixth in the OCC-Central Division at 2-5 behind Hilliard Davidson (7-0), Hilliard Darby (6-1), Dublin Coffman (5-2), Worthington Kilbourne (4-3) and Upper Arlington (2-5) and ahead of Westland (1-6) and Thomas Worthington (0-7). •Grove City’s season was capped by senior Jose Hughes becoming the first state qualifier for the Greyhounds in three See WRESTLE, page C3

Commentary

Young’s work at district tournament will be missed We are in the final days of one of my favorite times of the year — the district and regional boys basketball tournaments in the Fairgrounds Coliseum. Over the 16 years that I have written for ThisWeek Community Newspapers and the 43 years that I have been part of the media covering these exciting games, I have talked about these special days that those of us who love these events get to spend together for three or four weeks. It is a homecoming for a group of individuals who work very hard to make these games enjoyable for the teams, coaches and fans. Of these individuals, none has worked harder for the past two decades than tournament director Ralph Young, who is retiring after the games this weekend. He has dedicated his life to the betterment of the world of education and has been a wonderful, soft-

spoken leader for all of us who work this tournament. “I can honestly state that I have enjoyed coming to this tournament every day,” said Young, who was business LARRY manager for seven LARSON years before beginning his 12-year stint as tournament director, following the late Bill Alspach. “When I am asked about what I will remember most about this experience, it is real simple. It is the people that I have enjoyed most and I thank God that I can remember most of them. “It is the coaches, the officials, the kids, the workers and the fans that have made this so memorable. I have really loved every phase of the job I have

been assigned to do and one of the main things I have learned along the way is that every person that works with you is unique and if you just stand back and let them do their job, what a job they will do. We haven’t really changed much over the years, but I feel that if the wheel isn’t broke, you don’t need to fix it.” Reflecting on his tenure at the Fairgrounds, Young said, “This has been such a great staff to work with and I learned so much from Bill Alspach. He taught me the importance of being a good listener. He taught me to let people talk and express their views and he told me about how much you can learn from that. It was so great to work with Bill and I miss his friendship, but my wife, Nancy, and I still have Bill’s wife, Polly, to share stories with and that is a treasure to us. “Polly is just as much a fixture at

the (Fairgrounds) that Bill was and we love having her with us at the games. I also am so blessed to have had Nancy right by my side through all these years. She has been such a help to me. She has shared her honest opinion on things involving the tournament and has been so great in helping me remember to get all the little things done.” Much like the things I have written about the Fairgrounds and the thrills of the games played in this historic building,Young said it is the consistency that keeps these days so enjoyable. “You come back year after year and you see the same people in the same places,” Young said. “I have had the benefit of having guys like Dave Siess and Steve Kull working in the same position for every year. I see the same people on press row and it even goes so far that I can look at certain seats in the stands and see the same fans in

those seats. Can you imagine if those seats could talk? What stories they could tell. What a history they could send to us of all the things that have happened since the first state tournament was held here in 1923. Some people call this the ‘Old Barn’ and maybe that is what it is, but this ‘Old Barn’ has been a great place for me to work for a long time.” Thanks to Ralph and Nancy Young for making the Fairgrounds a great place to be for many years. There is no doubt that both will always be part of the high school basketball tournament family. They earned it. Best of life always. I’ll see you at the Fairgrounds.

ThisWeek’s 2010-11 Super 12 WRESTLING TEAM The Captain

Brothers helped toughen Delande By JEREMY STEWART

About the athletes…

AL CASERTA Olentangy

Sr.

130

Caserta blossomed as a senior, finishing 48-11. During the regular season, he placed second in the Olentangy Invitational on Dec. 4, the James V. Horning Memorial on Jan. 22 and the Delaware Invitational on Feb. 5 and finished third in the North Canton Hoover Invitational on Dec. 17-18. Caserta then capped his career with a strong postseason, winning the Division II sectional on Feb. 19 at Hilliard Bradley, finishing second at district Feb. 25-26 at Columbus East and placing fifth at state March 3-5 at Ohio State. “Al was a hammer for us all year,” coach Matt Hammons said. “He moved up to wrestle at 135 to help the team out in duals, and he had a lot of success at both 130 and 135. Al’s a wicked scrambler. When you get in a dogfight with him, most of the time you’re going to end up on the bottom.”

Although Chase Delande of the Hilliard Davidson High School wrestling team won the Division I state title at 145 pounds, he’s still going to be treated like the younger brother of Bo and Spencer. Both Bo Delande, a 2007 Davidson graduate, and Spencer Delande, a 2009 graduate, were state qualifiers as seniors, but neither made the kind of run the youngest Delande did at the state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State. Chase went 4-0, defeating Massillon Perry’s Tanner Lemon 9-4 in the championship match. Although neither of his older brothers won a state title, they had an influence on Chase getting one. “Being the youngest brother, they would beat up on me sometimes,” said Chase, who has been named captain of the ThisWeek Super 12 wrestling team. “I think that’s what helped me a lot. It made me mentally stronger. I could take a beating.” Spencer often came to the practice room this season to help train his younger brother. With Spencer having a nearly 50-pound weight advantage, Chase had a difficult time trying to control his brother. And for Chase, control was what it was all about. “He’s great at turning people over,” coach Dominic DiSabato said. “He’s a strong kid even though he may not look like it. He’s tough. He’s really physical and he has that football player mentality where he’s going to make you feel pain.” The only central Ohio wrestler to capture a state title this season, Chase Delande earned his 100th career victory in his match against Lemon. The junior finished the season 46-2. His only losses were to Mentor Lake Catholic’s Matt Fee at the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Holiday Tournament, which concluded Dec. 30. After that tournament, Delande was unbeatable. He swept through the OCC-Central Division dual matches, defeated Grove City’s Robert Coles 14-0 to win the Marysville sectional title Feb. 19 and defeated Olentangy Liberty’s Ethan Snyder 10-4 to win a district title Feb. 26. The state title gave Delande a state championship in two sports. He was a cornerback for the Davidson football team when it won the Division I state title in 2009. “In wrestling, it’s more of a thrill,” Delande said of winning a state championship. “In football, it’s a long game, two hours. In wrestling, it’s six minutes and all eyes are on you.”

ANGELO DISABATO Hilliard Davidson

Sr.

The son of the coach of one of the area’s premier wrestling programs, DiSabato beats opponents not only with skill, but with a deep knowledge of the sport. DiSabato capped a stellar season with a fifth-place finish at the Division I state tournament. He finished the season 50-5 and earned his second trip to the awards podium at state. He placed eighth at 103 as a sophomore. “One thing that he’s really benefited from is he’s a smart wrestler, and being around wrestling as long as he has, he understands situations,” said coach Dominic DiSabato, Angelo’s father. “There are not too many mistakes that he makes on the mat because he didn’t know the situation.” DiSabato was named the OCC-Central Division Wrestler of the Year in addition to winning sectional and district championships.

Elflein could be among the early favorites to win the Division I state heavyweight title next season following the graduation of Centerville’s Kyle Rose, who defeated him 7-5 in a district final en route to winning the state title this year. Elflein went 1-2 at state, but he was eliminated by a pair of eventual placers in matches decided by a combined three points. “That was Pat’s first time at state, so it was a good learning experience,” coach Brad Harris said. “Now he knows what he needs to do going forward,” Elflein, who packed on 40 pounds after his sophomore year, finished the season with a 35-9 record and set the single-season program record with 28 pins. He already has football scholarship offers from Indiana and Northwestern.

Not only did Hutchins earn a 50-8 record but he did so in dominating fashion, pinning 41 opponents, which ranks him ninth on Ohio’s all-time season leader list. For his career, Hutchins compiled a 15648 record with 113 pins. His career pin total ranks 12th on Ohio’s all-time list and his win total was one shy of Seth Morton’s program record for career wins. “By earning six points with every pin, Brady has accounted for hundreds of team points for us,” coach Trent Brooks said. “Brady was an all-around dream to coach and he set the tempo for our team both on and off the mat.” Hutchins finished first in the Cambridge Invitational on Dec. 4, the Watkins Memorial Invitational on Feb. 5 and the Division II sectional Feb. 19 at Licking Heights. After placing second at district, he went 1-2 at state for a third consecutive season.

VINCE PICKETT

Murdock added to his résumé this season as both a Division I district and sectional champion. After finishing fifth at the state tournament at 103 as a sophomore, he placed sixth at 112 and finished this season with a 44-5 record. He entered state ranked second in Brian Brakeman’s High School Wrestling Forecast. “His goal was to win it this year, but it made it tough when he lost his first match (at state),” coach Bob Stoll said. “He’s got another year to try to do it. “He’s going to be a heck of a boost for our other guys next year as a leader.” Murdock, a three-time district qualifier, was first-team all-OCCCentral Division as the Shamrocks finished third (5-2) behind champion Hilliard Davidson (7-0).

Jr.

Fiorucci added to his already impressive résumé this season, finishing with a 45-7 record and winning five tournaments. He won the Olentangy Invitational on Dec. 4, the North Canton Hoover Invitational on Dec. 17-18 and the James V. Horning Memorial on Jan. 22. He also successfully defended his titles at the Division II sectional and district tournaments. Having placed eighth at 103 at state in Division I as a freshman and second at 103 in Division II as a sophomore, Fiorucci went 3-2 and placed fifth at 119 at state this year. “Trevor was dominant all season, and his only losses were to studs in tough tournaments,” coach Matt Hammons said. “He’s a pinner. Whether he’s on top or bottom, there’s always a good chance that Trevor is going to put someone on their back and stick them.”

BRADY HUTCHINS 152

In Bradley’s first two seasons, Higgins became one of the wrestlers who would help lay a solid foundation for a successful program. He ended his prep career by becoming the program’s first state placer. Higgins placed third at the Division II state tournament, beating Medina Highland’s Tyler Bloniak 11-7 in the third-place match. Higgins had a 44-4 record this season using what coach John Riggs said was an unusual technique. “He has a very unique style where he uses a lot of scrambling,” Riggs said. “He’s great with his legs and with tilts. He’s able to put his opponents in situations that maybe they haven’t seen before.” Higgins won sectional and district championships en route to qualifying for state and was named the OCC-Capital Division Wrestler of the Year.

Though only a sophomore, Forrider is a two-time placer at the Division I state tournament. As a freshman, he finished eighth at 119. This season, he placed sixth at 130 and finished with a 41-10 record. For his career, he is 85-18. This season, Forrider won the title at the Marysville sectional before winning the district title. He entered the state tournament ranked eighth in his weight class in Brian Brakeman’s High School Wrestling Forecast. “Noah is a huge part of our program as a competitor and a leader,” coach Shawn Andrews said. “His experience at the state level as a two-time placer is a great example to the kids on our team as to what it takes to be successful.”

Drumm upstaged Heath teammates Dom Barlow, a four-time state placer, and Mason Robinson at the Division III state tournament as the heralded trio concluded their careers with a combined 496 victories. Drumm was the Bulldogs’ top finisher, placing fifth to finish the season with a 34-3 record. He had eight postseason pins and won a district title Feb. 25-26 at Coshocton, where his father, Robin, died of a heart attack following one of his matches three years ago. “Of our three (state qualifiers), Travis was the most focused,” coach Roger Morgan said. “If he didn’t think he had a legitimate shot at winning (state), he wouldn’t be here.” Drumm, a two-time state qualifier who was a state alternate as a sophomore, finished with 160 career victories. He has signed to play football at Tiffin University.

If high school wrestling fans didn’t know who Pickett was before the Division I district tournament, they quickly found out after he demolished the competition on the way to a district title, winning each of his four matches by tech-fall, major decision or pin. He beat Olentangy Liberty’s Nick Kaczkowski 13-0 in the final. “I always say you have to be good on your feet. You have to be good in escape and you have to be able to hold someone down. Vince is good at all three of those,” coach Jamie Ramirez said. “That makes him difficult to wrestle. He’s tall and lanky. He’s hard to shoot on and he’s got a great shot himself. Plus, he has a bit of a mean bone.” Pickett, who finished the season 50-3, placed fourth at the state tournament.

Not often does a freshman make as much of an impact as Smith did this winter. He helped the Silver Knights win the CCL title and then followed with a Division III sectional title and a third-place finish at district. Smith went 3-2 at the state tournament. He won his first two matches before losing his next two. He bounced back to pin Marion Pleasant’s Zon Fields in 4 minutes, 40 seconds to finish fifth. Smith, who finished with a 43-4 record, had lost to Fields in a semifinal at the district tournament Feb. 26 at Coshocton. “He’s a very determined wrestler,” coach Chance Van Gundy said. “I’m just looking forward to the next three years. I’ve had several freshmen come in that were good, but I don’t think any has been as special as Bobby.”

WRESTLE

Sullinger, Lee will be missed on, off courts in City League

Continued from page C1 seasons. After placing third at 160 at district, Hughes was 0-2 at state. He was part of a strong senior class. “We’re losing some really talented athletes,” coach Jay DiMasso said. Along with Hughes, the Greyhounds lose seniors Clayton Baltzer, Robert Coles, Nick Kowaleski, Steven Neeley, Zach Reynard and Jarred Todd. Hughes and Kowaleski were district qualifiers the last three seasons. Coles and Reynard advanced to district the last two years. The building process for the Greyhounds could start with two returning district qualifiers in juniors Caleb Dick (189) and Jordan Shoemaker (112). “I think that both (Dick and Shoemaker) are going to have great seasons next year,” DiMasso said. “We have to do some offseason training and perfect our technique, but they have a chance to be state qualifiers next year.” The Greyhounds also expect to return juniors Josh Barker (125), Steven Neeley (171) and Brad Pepple (112), sophomores Zane Chappellar (135), Dylan Hogan (130), Vince Plageman

(140) and Greg Plotner (135) and freshmen Cole Capehart (103) and Cornelius Marshall (119). The Greyhounds were fifth (123.5) behind champion Hilliard Davidson (239.5) at the Marysville sectional Feb. 19 and were 23rd (25.5) at district. Grove City was fifth in the

OCC-Ohio at 3-4, finishing behind Lancaster (6-1), Pickerington Central (6-1), Gahanna (5-2) and Pickerington North (52) and ahead of Reynoldsburg (2-5), Groveport (1-6) and Newark (0-7). www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

It will feel a bit odd once the district basketball tournament rolls around next year. For much of the past three decades during February and March, one thing you knew you’d see was the intensity displayed by the Brookhaven High School girls team and its passionate coach, Reggie Lee. On a similar scale during recent years, the Northland boys team brought one of the best assemblies of talent in central Ohio history to the floor every night under larger-than-life coach Satch Sullinger. With both men having announced that they won’t be back next year as coaches, things won’t be the same in either sport. After Lee took over the Bearcats’ program in 1981, he did more than just win seven district titles, the 1996 Division I state championship and 515 games. With a style centered on showing tough love to his players during practices and timeouts, Lee helped to pioneer that females were capable of memorable exploits on the court when girls basketball still was in its infancy at the state level. “When I first started coaching, I coached boys, and I wouldn’t have coached girls if not for what (Pickerington North coach) Dave (Butcher) and Reggie did,” Gahanna girls coach Rick Hauser said. “What would Reggie have been able to do if he’d had a feeder program?” Sullinger first coached at the high school level with the Columbus East boys team from 198385 and helped rebuild the Beechcroft boys team into a City League-North Division power in the early 1990s. He took over a Beechcroft team that had gone 2-19 in 1990-91 and had the Cougars in the City title game in 1994. Sullinger then spent three seasons at Reynoldsburg and three at his college alma mater, Oberlin, before taking over Northland’s program in 2000-01. While it took time to transform the Vikings into a winner, Northland’s run through the City — and central Ohio — has been memorable. With

Division I college talent such as Devon Moore, J.D. Weatherspoon and Jared Sullinger, the Vikings won district titles in 2007 and last year and were state champions in 2009. They’ve also won 74 consecutive City games. What the two men providJARROD ed off the court has been even ULREY more important. During his first season at Beechcroft, Satch Sullinger told The Columbus Dispatch that “I think my niche is here, where I can influence lives. I want to be an impact player.” With constant preaching about accountability and being a good citizen off the court, he did what he could to live up to that mantra. For Lee, helping his athletes and students pursue college educations has brought him as much satisfaction as the numerous victories he has earned on the court. Particularly in the City, the influences of Lee and Sullinger over the years can’t be underscored. There are some veteran boys coaches in the City who will remain, and there are some fine young coaches such as brothers Jason Bates of Walnut Ridge and Michael Bates of Africentric. One of the most respected girls coaches in the City will remain in Will McKinney, who often has called Lee one of his mentors. But in multiple aspects, the departures of Lee and Sullinger will create an unquestionable void. For the sake of central Ohio basketball — and for the development of young people who walk the halls at Brookhaven and Northland — let’s hope someone can come close to filling the shoes of Lee and Sullinger over the coming years. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Free clinic to benefit from golf outing By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Helping Hands Health and Wellness Center free clinic, which recently expanded services and hours thanks to financial support from Catholic churches in the Northland area, will get another boost this summer. The four-year-old clinic, which operates out of the Haimerl Center on Morse Road, was announced last week as the nonprofit organization that will benefit from proceeds at the seventh annual Northland Area Business Association Golf Tournament. The business organization’s largest fundraiser event of the year will return to the York Golf Club, 7459 N. High St., on Monday, Aug. 8. The outing has become a success story for both NABA and the nonprofits selected for the past five years to receive 20 percent of the event’s net proceeds, according to Paul Weber, a member of the association’s board of trustees. The naming of the charity chosen by the tournament committee, along with some of the details of the event, were announced at last week’s quarterly luncheon meeting of the Northland business organization. “This is one that has worked out well, and it also helps with fellowship and business-to-busi-

ness,” said Weber, who served as master of ceremonies for the gathering at Monaco’s Palace and Catering. “We’re really looking forward to it,” NABA past president Dave Cooper said. The Hadler Cos., owners of the Columbus Square Shopping Center and Columbus Square Bowling Palace, will once again this year be the “Platinum Sponsor” for the golf outing, according to Cooper. He urged other businesses to come on board in sponsoring the tournament, saying it was a way to help increase awareness by being included on programs and posters. Helping Hands executive director Joyce Bourgault thanked NABA members for selecting the clinic as the tournament’s 2011 nonprofit partner. The clinic began by offering free medical care to the uninsured, Bourgault explained, but

recently added hours as well as counseling and other social services thanks to a grant of $40,000 to $50,000 a year for the next three years from the Northland Deanery. Helping Hands also offers assistance with tax preparation through the Ohio Benefits Bank, she said. “We really appreciate all your support, and look forward to seeing you at the golf tournament,” Bourgault said. Previous nonprofits to benefit from the tournament, Cooper said, were Big Brothers Big Sisters, the YMCA, Heritage Day Health Center and last year the Bair Foundation, a nonprofit Christian foster care agency with an office on East Dublin Granville Road. The Aug. 8 fundraiser includes not only golf but also live and silent auctions, Cooper said. The day will begin with registration at 11 a.m. and a shotgun start at noon. Cocktails will be served and awards handed out starting at 5:30 p.m. Individual registration for golfers is $125; the cost is $500 for a foursome. More information is available from Cooper at (614) 888-2201 or via e-mail, dave@inkwellcolumbus.com, or Lisa Fravel at (614) 882-6616 or via e-mail, lisa.fravel@pnc.com. “Please keep that date open,” Cooper urged NABA members.
