Council postpones action on arts building By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hilliard City Council postponed action March 14 on a resolution in support of the Hilliard Community Foundation and its efforts to construct an arts and community building. The resolution arose during a com-

mittee of the whole meeting. Councilman Bill Uttley, who was appointed to serve on the foundation board by Mayor Don Schonhardt, said the resolution did not involve financial commitment on the part of council, but would be in the form of a letter to help the HCF raise funds for the building. Foundation members include the city

of Hilliard, Destination Hilliard, Franklin County Agricultural Society, Hilliard Area Chamber of Commerce, Hilliard Arts Council, Northwest Franklin County Historical Society and the Norwich Township Board of Trustees. The foundation was formed in 2009, with the goal of constructing the build- Albert ing that would house several organiza- Iosue

tions and host arts performances. Councilman Albert Iosue asked where the building would be located, and Uttley said HCF members “have identified a location on Northwest Park-

Planning & zoning

way, next to the Safety Services Building. That is the preferred location … because it works best for several of the organizations … but it is not set in stone.” Councilwoman Kelly McGivern said “the language was left fairly vague, so See COUNCIL, page A11

Davidson trio earns Merit Finalist status

Group recalls former chairman By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By GARY BUDZAK

Hilliard’s planning and zoning commission paid tribute to a former member before approving a new church and a subdivision at its March 10 meeting. Malcolm Floss, who was chairman of the commission from 2000-09, died on March 9. He was 79. His funeral service was held March 13. “The city of Hilliard lost a truly great individual and a community supporter,” said Mayor Don Schonhardt. “I don’t think there was anyone who was more selfless than Malcolm Floss. He truly saw this community through what I consider to be some of the most important years in its growth and development, and he did so with a heart that was committed to doing everything that he felt was right for the city of Hilliard.” After a moment of silence, the commission unanimously approved three proposals, with conditions. The first case was to permit the use of a 28,500square-foot church at 5000 Britton Road. The Hilliard Community Church would be located on 7.3 acres at the northwest corner of Davidson Road and Britton Parkway. The church would be 41-foot in height, with an 83-foot high steeple. City planner John Talentino told the commission that the church “will be a harmonious part of the business district in which it is located.” Among the conditions necessary for approval was screening the parking lot from view with an evergreen hedge, and a tree replacement plan prior to construction. Schonhardt, who has a vote on the commission, told architect Nelson Yoder that he wanted there to be more variation in the materials for the exterior of the church than the proposed Hardie plank

Hilliard Davidson High School seniors Anna Saelens, Kevin Rose and Brandon Mills are National Merit Finalists.

Three Hilliard Davidson seniors are pleased to be named as National Merit Finalists, and for an obvious reason. “We’re all trying to pay for college, so this is really good,” said Kevin Rose. “Hopefully, it will mean more (scholarship) money,” said Anna Saelens. Brandon Mills echoed those sentiments, adding, “It’s a nice recognition for a lot of hard work.” The three friends, who have taken classes together for a couple of years, are among four National Merit Finalists in the Hilliard City School District. The fourth is Hannah Sanders of Hilliard Darby High School. To be a National Merit Finalist, the students first earned high scores on their Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test when they were juniors. Those high scorers are contacted, and with the help of their college counselor, they send an application, letter of recommendation, written essay and their transcripts to the National Merit Corporation. If they get a comparable score on their SAT test, a student might become a National Merit Finalist. Less than one percent of students nationwide who take the PSAT/NMSQT become National Merit Finalists. “It’s very prestigious,” Jane O’Shaughnessy, college counselor at Davidson, said of the honor. “When you are applying for college, if that is part of your resume, that’s See DAVIDSON, page A2

Rescued dogs closer Cason retires as ThisWeek executive editor to finding new homes End of an era By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Friday, March 18, marks the end of an era at ThisWeek Community Newspapers. Late that afternoon, vice president and executive editor Ben Cason will shut down his computer, gather his cell phone and coat and quietly stroll out of the newsroom the way he has every week since 1993. However, come Monday morning, for the first time in 18 years, he won’t be leading a newsroom discussion on politics or the NCAA basketball tournament.

Cason announced his retirement to ThisWeek staffers March 11, concluding a career that spanned the height of the Watergate era as an editor at The Washington Post to building one Ben Cason of the nation’s most respected community newspaper organizations. Under Cason’s leadership, ThisWeek Community Newspapers have won hundreds of state, regional and national awards for journalistic excellence.

More importantly, general manager Stephen Zonars said, Cason won the loyalty of hundreds of thousands of central Ohio readers. “Ben has been the heartbeat of ThisWeek Community Newspapers for 18 years, and his contributions are immeasurable,” Zonars said. “On his watch, the readership of our papers has grown by more than 200,000 people, which may be the most honest reflection of how valuable the public finds our coverage, which is the product of Ben’s See CASON RETIRES, page A2

Cason retires as longtime ThisWeek executive editor Continued from page A1 leadership in the newsroom.” Zonars said Cason’s legacy is the team of journalists he has assembled at ThisWeek. “We are indebted to Ben for attracting bright and passionate reporters and editors who share his love of community news and sports, and to Ben’s high personal standards for quality, objective and, above all, accurate reporting,” he said. “No one checks more facts than Ben. Ben’s legacy will be that his brand of journalism will live on through our staff because Ben showed them the way as he coached, mentored and nurtured them. Ben leaves us in good hands.” Two of Cason’s first hires after he arrived at ThisWeek were Lee Cochran, now assistant managing editor and sports editor, and Sandy Wallace, news editor. “I came to ThisWeek from a small daily, and it took some time for me to get used to the different pace and schedule of weekly papers,” Wallace said. “But Ben’s vision for the papers was very clear. 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 months before me,” Cochran said. “Soon after I started, he explained his plan for improving the papers, and it’s

a vision he has followed ever since and one that will continue. The success we’ve had at ThisWeek is a credit to Ben and his vision. He knew what it took to be a successful newspaper and led us there. “He is a leader, a mentor and, most importantly, a friend. He will be missed by our readers and our newsroom.” After graduating from the University of Florida, Cason took a job at The St. Petersburg Times, where he met his wife, Carol. Cason was news editor at The Washington Post during the Watergate scandal that eventually toppled President Richard Nixon. He said the Watergate episode was one of the most interesting times in his career. As news editor of The Post during that era, he put together many of the paper’s historic front pages. 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. The Casons are the parents of two sons: Alexander lives in Charlotte, N.C.; David, his wife, Julie, and their two sons live in Worthington.

Obviously you’re an excellent student, and you’re a very good thinker whose reasoning skills are very good.” Just because a student is a National Merit Finalist, it doesn’t mean they get scholarship money. O’Shaughnessy said it depends on which school the student chooses (some offer money, others don’t), or if they have a parent whose employer offers a scholarship. Mills, Rose and Saelens are all active outside of the classroom. Mills’ activities include marching band, Eagle Scout, web design and computer programming. He has applied to attend MIT. Rose is active in track, president of the Spanish Club, vice president of the National Honor Society and a Freshman Focus leader. He will major in math at the University of Chicago. Saelens is cross country captain, in the Spanish Club, National Honor Society treasurer, Freshman Focus

leader and volunteers at the Capital Area Humane Society. She plans to go to Ohio State as a prevet biology major. “They are three extremely outstanding young people,” O’Shaughnessy said. “Not only

PLANNING Continued from page A1 siding, so as to blend in better with the community. The next case was the Trails Edge Subdivision, to be located at 4757 Halle Circle. The 10 lots would be on 2.5 acres on the east side of Cosgray Road about 200 feet north of Hoffman Farms Drive and immediately south of the rails-to-trails bike path. Two of the 10 residences have been constructed, and city council recently adopted a resolution that converted the zoning from live/work condominium units to single-family residences on individual lots. After discussion of the street and placing relevant information on the plat, the commission approved the final plat. In the final case, the commission approved a variance in Hilliard’s sign code for mounted and ground signage at the Safety Services Building on Northwest Parkway. Commission members said the extra signage would help people exit and enter the building better and help them get to the right place.

Commentary & opinion

YOUTH FLAG FOOTBALL SPORTS APRIL - MAY

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 Representatives has already moved forward in reducing government spending in a number of ways. It was important that the first step in putting the nation’s fiscal house

in order was to start by cutting our own office budgets by 5 percent, for a savings of around $35.2million. Then STEVE in January, we STIVERS voted to repeal the health care law, which would cut new spending by $2.6-trillion over 10 years and reduce the deficit by $700billion. 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 nation’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. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments on cutting government spending or any other federal issue. You can contact my central Ohio district office at (614) 2996415 or my Washington, D.C., office at (202) 225-2015. For more information on where I stand on the issues, you can sign up for my e-newsletter at www. stivers.house.gov. Steve Stivers represents the 15th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Strong fiscal management — a continued commitment Hilliard City Schools has a history of strong fiscal management. Recently, the district cut $6.5million from its budget and stretched the 2008 operating issue one year longer than originally promised. All employees, including administrators, DALE teachers and MCVEY classified staff members, have taken pay freezes. The district continues to seek out additional cost savings through energy efficiency efforts and the increased use of technology in our schools. The district spent $11,475 per pupil last school year. This is $972 less than the Franklin County average. Only nine percent of that figure was spent in the area of administration, compared to the state average of 12.2 percent. Hilliard also ties one other school district in Franklin County for the lowest percentage in administrative expenditure per pupil. More than 61 percent of Hilliard’s expenditure per pupil was dedicated to instructional expenses with an additional 10.3 percent for pupil support expenditures. It is this kind of tough, but necessary fiscal management that has made Hilliard City Schools the excellent district that it is today. External audiences have also recognized this effort. This year, Hilliard earned the Meritorious Budget Award for excellence in the preparation and issuance of

the 2010-11 school system annual budget. This honor is only conferred upon school systems that have met or exceeded the Meritorious Budget Award Program Criteria and this is the fifth consecutive year that the district

has earned this award. Hilliard earned the State Auditor’s Making Your Tax Dollars Count Award three times in the last 11 years. This recognition is See GUEST, page A5

GUEST COLUMN Annual Financial Reporting (PAFR). Hilliard City Schools is anticipating significant changes to the school funding system as well as cuts to our state aid. Revenue streams that have been healthy for the district in the past have weakened over the years and the poor economic conditions have certainly impacted all of us. However, what has not and will not change is the district’s commitment to a vigilant watch over tax dollars. It is this commitment to scrutinizing our bottom line in a responsible manner that has earned all of these awards. And it is this same commitment that will continue to lead our school district through these troubling financial times that our entire community is facing today.

Continued from page A4

given to districts whose Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) demonstrates a commitment to careful spending, accurate fiscal recording and efficiency. Dating back to 1994, the district has earned the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) 15 times for its CAFR. The GFOA Certificate of Excellence is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by the district and its fiscal management practices. The GFOA has also recognized Hilliard City Schools five times with the Dale McVey is superintendent of Hilliard City Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Schools.

Bradley’s ‘Notorious 19’ win state championship By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The latest Hilliard high school athletic team to become a state champion is Bradley’s “Notorious 19” competitive cheerleading squad. “Our daughter joked when the Davidson football team won, they had a parade,” said David Ciani, father of cheerleader Amanda Ciani. “She said, ‘are we getting a parade?’ I said, ‘they don’t treat cheerleaders like they do football players.’” On Feb. 26 at St. John Arena, the cheerleaders won the 2011 state title in the Division II non-mount, a category that featured 22 teams, including last year’s champion, Ottawa Glendorf. Earlier in the month, they were the Ohio Capital Conference Division II champs and grand champions, defeating Division I schools. Bradley was one of 10 statewide champions at the 2011 Cheerleading and Dance

Championships, sanctioned by the Ohio Association of Secondary School Administrators. Canal Winchester High School won in the Division II mount category. Last year, the Bradley cheerleaders, then called the “Fierce 14,” were state runners-up and were also OCC Division II and grand champions. Not bad for a school in its second year of existence. “We really had a great team,” said Aimee Jordan, varsity cheerleading coach. “There are four seniors – these girls really worked hard, were very humble and did a great job leading the team. We also have a lot of young talent coming up.” Competitive cheerleading is more than dancing and chanting – tumbling is important, too. Jordan said she likes girls to start tumbling when they’re 8 or 9 years old, because they’re more fearless tumblers. “This year, we require the girls to have a

round-off tuck, which is a running tumbling skill,” Jordan said. “And then their standing tumbling skill, each girl has to be able to do a double toe-touch back handspring. Those are skills you had to have just to make the team, to be competitive with different teams in Ohio.” Jordan said Bradley has three varsity cheerleading teams – basketball, competitive and football. Half of the girls are on all three teams, Jordan said. Practices are a couple times a week and can last up to three hours. “These girls have a chance of earning three varsity letters throughout the year, which is not typical of most high schools. Hilliard does treat cheerleading as a sport, and competitive cheerleading as its own individual sport, which is really amazing that they do that, because a lot of people don’t see that as a sport.” Jordan said cheerleading is a sport, because “we practice hard, work hard, and we bring home state championships.”

Mills James expands capacity — but doesn’t add to building By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Changes in technology have resulted in a local media company expanding its production facilities without expanding its building. Mills James Creative Media,

based at 3545 Fishinger Blvd., recently announced the construction of a new production studio, two new video post-production suites, and a series of HD video and transmission upgrades. Construction began last November. “In the last six to nine months,

there’s been a lot of expansion in electronic media,” said Mills James spokesman Scott Rankin. “There are a couple of reasons for that. The whole world is migrating over to high definition, and more clients needed services done in high def. “Some of that was driven by

changes going on in communications technology, especially with the growth of online video,” he said. “More people are carrying smart phones, the iPad is becoming a big deal, and with more people and companies using See MILLS JAMES, page A7

IRS debunks frivolous tax arguments WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service released the 2011 version of its discussion and rebuttal of many of the more common frivolous arguments made by individuals and groups that oppose compliance with federal tax laws. Anyone who contemplates arguing on legal grounds against paying their fair share of taxes should first read the 84-page document, The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments. The document explains many of the common frivolous arguments made in recent years and it describes the legal responses that refute these claims. It will help taxpayers avoid wasting their time and money with frivolous arguments and incurring penalties. Congress in 2006 increased the amount of the penalty for frivolous tax returns from $500 to $5,000. The increased penalty amount applies when a person submits a tax return or other specified submission, and any portion of the submission is based on a position the IRS identifies as frivolous.

work,” Scott said, “and you can’t always rely on your friends and neighbors, because they’re busy too. Being a two-parent family, my husband and I are running different places with three kids.” Scott, who has lived in the Hilliard school district for 16 years and is a member of the Hilliard Optimist Club, said she “had a revelation while I was driving” to start the business. After researching similar businesses nationwide, she surveyed other moms and found there was a need for her services. With the company’s logo recently affixed to the vehicle, Kidz Chaffeur will have its first client this week, and Scott said

Frivolous arguments include contentions that taxpayers can refuse to pay income taxes on religious or moral grounds by invoking the First Amendment; that the only “employees” subject to federal income tax are employees of the federal government; and that only foreign-source income is taxable.

she’s been getting calls and referrals for the summer. “This will be year-round service,” Scott said. “We anticipate our busiest times will be the summertime. Kids are extremely busy, whether it pool, summer camps, day care, dental appointments, sports. I can facilitate those transportation needs with less than a half a tank of gas and get your kids there safe and on time.” While it sounds a bit like mom’s taxi, Scott said her business will charge flat rates for one-way and round-trip door-todoor service, and children will need to be registered to participate. For now, the service area

is Hilliard, Dublin, Galloway and Upper Arlington. At first, Scott will drive a 2002 GMC Yukon, and wear a chauffeur’s uniform (minus the hat). Kids will be able to order concessions and play hand-held games as she drives. “We want the ride to be fun, relaxed. When that kid is with me, I have to love and protect them as if they were my own, and I expect that from the people that I hire.” Scott said she hopes to add a second driver and a 12-passenger van soon.

our technology systems to the latest generation of high definition,” said CEO Cameron James. Mills James was founded in 1984 and built its production facility in the Mill Run business district in 1990. That facility has had two studios, even when the building was doubled in 1996. Rankin said the new Studio C was designed for live news feeds for corporations and broadcast networks. For example, when Kirk Herbstreit needs to appear on ESPN, he’s at Mills James instead of going to ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn. (Herbstreit recently announced that he is moving to Nashville.) “It wasn’t done just for Kirk, but there are other clients who need that type of capability to either go live or do a product shot that doesn’t involve a big studio setup,” Rankin said. The studio was built in a space in the building that was originally a media vault, where tapes and DVDs were permanently stored for clients.

“Today, a lot of that stuff is not stored on tape or disc — it’s stored to hard drives and computer memory,” Rankin said. “As a result, there’s been less space required for storage of physical media. So they had a chance to repurpose that space and build Studio C.” Another improvement was adding two more video editing suites for a total of 12. “With 12 suites, we’re configured for every different type of editorial need,” said Scott Lanum, vice president of teleproduction services for Mills James. “TV spots, corporate media, web-based video, news, and broadcast television programming.” Rankin said the video server has also been upgraded to 56 terabytes, or more than twice the memory storage capacity of the IBM Watson supercomputer that won on the game show Jeopardy recently. “Not that it’s going to go on Jeopardy or supposed be smart,” he said. “It’s just supposed to be big and store a lot of stuff.”

Event Artiscape slated for April 14-17 European Papers Ltd., 539 E. Town St., will host “Artiscape: An Artist’s Gathering” April 14-17.

Rescued dogs closer to finding new homes Continued from page A1 ically and physically,” said Dr. Pamela Reid, vice president of the ASPCA’s Animal Behavior Center. “There were some dogs that were in pretty rough shape, either very thin or scarred up. Some dogs seemed to be OK, and we can only assume that those dogs hadn’t been there very long. Their coats still looked good, their weight was decent, and psychologically they were more intact.” The ASPCA has been giving the dogs behavior assessments to help place them in appropriate homes when they are adopted. Reid said she spent four days at the fairgrounds recently, assessing 185 dogs. The dogs would be let into a room they hadn’t been in before with people in it, and the dogs were observed to see whether they spent more time exploring the room or interacting with the people.

“There was quite a range of personalities,” Reid said. “There were a number of very shy dogs that hadn’t ever been in any kind of circumstance like this before, so they were quite overwhelmed. But there were also many dogs that were very social and happygo-lucky and great with people.” Just because a dog is shy doesn’t mean it can’t be adopted or be a great pet. “A lot of people are willing to open their home to a dog that’s been in a horrible situation like this, that needs more patience and TLC,” Reid said. “Sometimes people specifically say we’re looking for the dog that is a little more timid, or shy. Oftentimes, those dogs are easier to handle and introduce into a home. Some of the dogs are happy-go-lucky, but that also means they’re high-energy and rambunctious because they haven’t had the training they needed.” Reid said any dogs that might

be adopted from this hoarding situation will require patience from their new owners, and the ASPCA has information (available at www.aspca.org) on how to guide them through the process. Those interested in adoption can e-mail adoptions@clarkhumane.org with their name and contact information. Several calls to the Humane Society Serving Clark County seeking additional information were not returned. Among the efforts in Hilliard to help the dogs, Scioto Darby Elementary School third-graders have collected items for donation at the fairgrounds, such as dog toys, dog food, blankets, paper towels, bath towels, and dog beds. In addition, fourthgraders have created a website, www.helppooranimals.com, to raise funds for the Capital Area Humane Society through March 16. They easily exceeded their goal of raising $500 for the cause.

Council postpones action on arts building Continued from page A1 that we weren’t supporting a specific site, but simply supporting their vision for a faKelly McGivern cility in our community.” “I think everyone in the room supports the concept behind a performing arts center,” Schonhardt said. “My concern continues to center around (what the city’s proposed) comprehensive plan is suggesting as an ideal site for this facility, and what has been advanced by the foundation. … “If you show pictures of a facility, and say we are raising money for this facility, and it ends up not being that facility, are we unintentionally misinforming the public? I think we want to be as precise in what we are asking for and what the culmination of this effort will result in.” He suggested the resolution be tabled until March 28, and foundation members could dis-

cuss the matter at the comprehensive plan meeting today (March 17). Council members Iosue, Stephanie Kunze and Tim Roberts said they supported the concept, but agreed with Schonhardt. Council President Brett Sciotto was absent. Also during the committee of the whole meeting, the members interviewed Libby Gierach, who is seeking appointment to the Economic Development Council; and Ed Cheshire and Robert Reuwer, who are seeking appointment to the Environmental Sustainability Commission. Earlier, the public safety and legal affairs committee forwarded four pieces of legislation on to council, including a collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police, Ohio Labor Council, Inc., for the Hilliard Police Department clerks and dispatchers. On March 8, the city was notified that the union membership had voted to accept the agreement. The committee also discussed allowing pushcart vendors in some of the parks whenever regular concessions were not open.

Among the legislation council approved at its meeting was a lease agreement with U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers to use the former police headquarters across from City Hall. Field representative Grant Shaffer said the location was more convenient for Stivers’ constituency in Union and Madison counties. Council also: • Accepted the application of annexation of 21.43 acres of Brown Township into Hilliard; • Clarified a bike path easement with the Hoffman Farms Homeowners Association. • Authorized vacating rightof-way on Northwest Parkway to the Norwich Township trustees, which will be the site of a sign for the Joint Safety Services Building. • Listened to cricket enthusiasts’ request to create a cricket field in Hilliard. In his report to council, Schonhardt said that despite last week’s homicides, Hilliard was “absolutely a safe community. What occurred was a random act of violence.” He praised the HPD for its response and in keeping a “chaotic scene under control.”

Bradley prepared for jump up to Division I By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With four district qualifiers expected to return next season, the Hilliard Bradley High School wrestling team doesn’t expect to be fazed by its move to Division I. “We will have an experienced team returning next season,” coach John Riggs said. “The move to Division I will present a challenge, but I know that our wrestlers and our coaches are excited about the opportunity to compete in the big-school division.”

The Jaguars had some memorable experiences this season in Division II. Andrew Higgins captured third place at 152 pounds at the Division II state tournament, which concluded March 5 at Ohio State. Higgins, a three-time state qualifier who posted 155 career wins, is one of two seniors leaving the Bradley program. The other is Devin Wohrle, a two-time district qualifier who competed at 130. Leading the group of expected returnees is junior Conor Driscoll, who missed all but a month of the season

and still was able to place seventh at state at 145. The Jaguars also expect to return district qualifiers in juniors Austin Johnston (135), Ricky McGrath (189) and Jake Zoller (145). Zoller also was a state qualifier, going 0-2. Also expected back are sophomores Luke Hammond (152), Sam Riggs (171) and Devon Smith (215) and freshmen Daniel Garcia (125), Robbie McGrath (103) and Ryan McGrath (119). Bradley was third (22 points) at a home sectional Feb. 19 behind cham-

pion Olentangy (292). On Feb. 26, Bradley was third (75) at the district tournament at Columbus East behind champion Olentangy (158). At state, Bradley (20.5) finished 22nd behind champion St. Paris Graham (230.5). Bradley was second in the OCCCapital Division at 6-1 behind champion Mount Vernon (7-0). The Jaguars finished ahead of New Albany (5-2), Olentangy Orange (4-3), Watkins Memorial (3-4), Big Walnut (2-5), Delaware (1-6) and Franklin Heights (0-7). Higgins was named OCC-Cap-

ital Wrestler of the Year. •Darby will have to make up for the loss of four seniors, including Division I state qualifiers Sufyan ElGeroushi (heavyweight) and Cameron Longwell (119). El-Geroushi was eighth at the Division I state tournament and Longwell, a two-time state qualifier, went 0-2. “Next season is going to be interesting,” coach Brendan Moody said. “We lose a group of four seniors that have been leaders the last four years.

Girls Basketball

First seniors set bar high for Jaguars By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard Bradley High School girls basketball program has some lofty goals to shoot for in the coming years. The first senior class helped the Jaguars reach one of their two preseason goals, as they captured a Division II district championship. Bradley finished 20-4 overall, losing to Dayton Carroll 55-33 in a regional semifinal March 8 at Springfield. “I’m super proud of the girls because they came here, bought into the program and won 20 games and a district championship in our second season,” coach Kathy Lindsey said. “Not many teams or programs can do that. It was a very special season and one that was set up by a tremendous offseason commitment.” Bradley, a second-year team that was seeded third in the district, defeated top-seeded Olentangy 48-46 on March 3 at Ohio Dominican University to capture the school’s first district championship in any sport. Junior Brooke Espenschied made a running floater with less than a second remaining for the winning points. “That was one of the most exciting, well-played high school girls basketball games you could ever watch,” Lindsey said. “For us to win it, of course, makes it more special. But it was a fabulous game and to get the first district championship at our school means a lot. “Hopefully, there will be lots more to come for all the sports here. What we did as a team also was special because of the support we received. We had By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek two busloads of kids go to the Bailey Pierron (right) is one of three seniors for Bradley, which finished 20-4 after losing to Dayton Carroll 55-33 in a Division II regional, so we built some school spirit along the way.” regional semifinal March 8 at Springfield. The Jaguars beat Olentangy 48-46 on March 3 to win the school’s first district title.

At a glance •Record: 20-4 overall, 12-2 (second) OCC-Capital Division •Seniors lost: Danielle Dunnagan, Bailey Pierron and Kellie Roudabush •Key returnees: Caitlyn Cote, Brooke Espenschied, Jasmine Junkins, Katie Lindsey and Jenna Seagle

The Jaguars had a first-round bye in the district tournament and defeated Licking Valley 5127 in the second round Feb. 23 at Olentangy Liberty. They then beat DeSales 55-40 in a district semifinal March 1 at Pickerington North to avenge a 47-43 loss to the Stallions in a district final in 2010. Although Bradley’s other goal — winning the OCC-Capital Division — was not accomplished, it finished second in the league at 12-2 behind Olentangy Orange (13-1). New Albany was third at 10-4, followed by Big Walnut (9-5), Delaware (6-8), Mount Vernon (3-11), Watkins Memorial (3-11) and Franklin Heights (0-14). Bradley handed Orange its lone league loss, 45-33 on Feb. 11. That was the worst loss for Orange, which finished 21-3 after losing to Division I statebound Pickerington North 4639 in a district final March 5. Bradley’s league losses were to New Albany, 48-47 on Dec. 7, and Orange, 66-58 on Jan. 7. Its other regular-season loss was to Jonathan Alder, 50-37 on Jan. 12. “Losing back-to-back games to Orange and Jonathan Alder, there was a little concern to see how we would respond,” Lindsey said. “At 8-3, we could’ve lost some confidence, but the girls got refocused and worked at becoming better and fixing some things.

Commentary

Young’s work at district tourney 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 manager for seven 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 LARRY that have made this so memoLARSON rable. 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, he 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. See LARSON, page B4

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.”

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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).

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.”

Commentary

Stephenson defends BYU’s strict student honor code Like many, Maggie Stephenson is curious to see how far the Brigham Young University men’s basketball team can advance in the NCAA tournament. The 2006 Pickerington High School Central and 2010 BYU graduate wonders how much of a run the Cougars can make without sophomore Brandon Davies, who has been suspended for the rest of the season. Davies, a 6-foot-9 center, was kicked off the team March 1 for violating BYU’s honor code by having premarital sex with his girlfriend. The university, located in Provo, Utah, is affiliated with the Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter-day Saints. “When I first read about it, I felt bad for him,” said Stephenson, who had PAUL with BATTERSON classes Davies and was a student teacher at his former high school in Provo. “I can’t imagine how he feels. “But when I heard all the negative things being said about BYU, it made me mad. I’ve heard people say, ‘Why would

WRESTLING Continued from page B1 It’s a little bit of a changing of the guard for us and I know that some of the kids are eager to do that. “Going out and seeing (El-Geroushi) place in the state and then you look across the tracks and to see (Davidson’s) Chase Delande win a state championship, they see that it’s possible. They just have to stick with it.” Leading the group of expected returnees is junior Tyler Bowens, who was 0-2 at state. The Panthers also hope to return district qualifiers in sophomores Jake Donatelli (125), Sam Valenti (103) and Matthew Walker (152). Also expected back are juniors Nathan Bonn (215), Justin Downey (140) and Forrest Farson (171), sophomores Devon Booth (112) and Hayden Vankirk (189) and freshmen Sean Black (119) and Tyler Perkins (125). Darby was second in the OCC-Central at 6-1 behind champion Davidson (7-0). The Panthers lost to Davidson 45-29 on Feb. 12 in what essentially was a championship dual. The Panthers were fourth (128.5) behind champion Davidson (239.5) at the Marysville sectional Feb. 19 and ninth (57) behind champion Olentangy Liberty (128.5) at the home district tournament Feb. 26. El-Geroushi’s placement at state put Darby in a tie with five others for 56th (4) behind

anyone want to play at BYU?’ I can tell you firsthand that playing for BYU was one of the best experiences of my life.” Stephenson was a catcher and utility infielder for the Cougars softball team the past two years. Although she is not Mormon, she passionately defends her alma mater. And part of the reason why Stephenson, who is Catholic, said she enjoyed her time in Provo was because of BYU’s stringent honor code. Each BYU student — not just athletes — is asked to commit to nine principles. Among them: abstaining from tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, tobacco and

substance abuse, observing a dress code (no shorts above the knees and no midriff-revealing shirts) and grooming standards (no beards or mustaches), participating regularly in church services and living a chaste and virtuous life. Students also have to receive an “Ecclesiastical endorsement” from their religious counselor and non-LDS students have to undergo an interview with the school’s chaplain before gaining admission. No one at BYU is above the honor code. Last year, running back Harvey Unga, BYU’s alltime leading rusher with 3,455

yards, and his girlfriend, Keilani Moeaki of the Cougars women’s basketball team, were suspended for the same violation as Davies. Stephenson was sent back to her dorm from a testing center because her shorts were too short. “I never thought about the length of my shorts before I went there. I was always in cutoffs,” Stephenson said. “But when you’re out there, you’re not just making a commitment to yourself and to your team, but you’re making one to the whole community.” Stephenson said the honor code fosters a family atmos-

phere. “BYU is the first campus I’ve been on where I could walk up to any student, faculty or university personnel at any time and ask for help and immediately receive it,” she said. “I never felt scared at night and always felt safe.” In a society where rules are often winked at but rarely followed, it’s comforting to know characteristics like honor and sacrifice are not only enforced but also might be making a comeback. pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Delande, a junior, won the state title at 145, defeating Massillon Perry’s Tanner Lemon 9-4 in the final match.

Also expected to return are jun-

Club Hockey

Storm’s state title is GCHSCHL’s third in four years By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers It almost seems as if the state club tournament is becoming an extension of the Greater Columbus High School Club Hockey League’s Blue Jackets Cup. The league produced its third state champion in four years when Northeast defeated Newark 2-1 in the final of the seventh annual Buckeye Cup on March 13 in Canton. It also was the second time in three years that two GCHSCHL teams played for the title. “It was a really great weekend for our league,” Newark coach Don Jennings said. “If we were going to lose to anyone, I’m glad it was to Northeast. They’ve got a lot of good seniors on that team and they played very strong. It’s well deserved.”

The Storm captured its first state championship by winning all five games at the three-day event, which featured four teams apiece from the GCHSCHL, the Cleveland-based North Coast High School Hockey League and the Cincinnati High School Hockey League. The tournament used the five-point system for pool play, awarding one point for each period a team won and two more for a game victory. Teams split the point when a period ended in a tie. The Storm opened with a pair of onegoal victories in pool play before defeating Liberty Township Lakota East of the CHSHL 4-0 in its third game, totaling 12.5 out of a possible 15 points to earn the third seed in the semifinals behind Newark (13.5) and Jackson (13) of the NCHSHL. Northeast also posted a 3-2 victory over Medina of the NCHSHL and a 4-

3 win over Bellbrook of the CHSHL. The fourth semifinalist was Medina (10), which advanced by winning a tiebreaker over Hilliard. The Wildcats, who captured their first Blue Jackets Cup title last month, went 2-1 in pool play and also scored 10 points. A 4-3 loss to Jackson in their second game proved to be their undoing. Four of the top six teams in pool play were from the Columbus league. PRPC, which won the GCHSCHL’s regularseason title, went 2-1 and totaled 9.5 points to finish sixth. “We only got one point out of our second game and that really hurt us,” PRPC coach Joe Tonello said of a 3-2 loss to Mason of the CHSHL. “We had opportunities, putting 44 shots on their goaltender, but they just got one more goal than we did. “At the end of the day, though, we’re

glad to see two teams from our league playing for the state championship.” In the semifinals, Newark defeated Medina 4-3 when Clay Beckholt scored the lone goal in a shootout and Northeast eliminated Jackson 2-1. Tyler Wickiser, a senior forward from New Albany, scored in every game for the Storm. He redirected a shot from Colin Laviola to give the Storm a 1-0 lead in the final. The Generals countered with a goal from Matt Congos in the second period. Kohl Fixari, whose father, Mark, is coach of the Storm, scored the decisive goal in the third period. Wickiser’s younger brother, Ryan, was the starting goaltender in all five games and had little margin for error as the Storm won four of its five games by one goal. The four GCHSCHL participants combined for a 10-2 record in pool play and

JAGUARS Continued from page B1 “From there, we took off. Our confidence grew in the second half against Big Walnut (in a 43-28 win on Jan. 27) and then we beat New Albany for the first time (54-35 on Feb. 5). They were the defending (league) champs. That carried over to the Orange game and we finished the regular season by winning nine in a row, so we were ready for the tournament run.” The Jaguars’ first senior class consisted of guards Bailey Pierron and Danielle Dunnagan and undersized post player Kellie Roudabush (5-foot-6). Roudabush, who averaged 11.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.4 steals, was first-team allleague and second-team all-district. Pierron averaged 12.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.0 assists and was secondteam all-league and third-team all-district. Dunnagan averaged 5.8 points. “We were very fortunate to have three young women come in with an open mind and who wanted to play team-first,” said Lindsey, who was the district Coach of the Year. “They bought into the system and did the necessary things to help us

their point total was 45.5 compared with the NCHSHL’s 34.5 and the CHSHL’s 10. During the GCHSCHL’s regular season, the Storm finished third and Newark was fourth. The Generals won the state title in 2009 by defeating PRPC in the championship game. Athens won the GCHSCHL’s first state championship in 2008. “It was an incredible game,” Jennings said of this year’s final. “It was just what you’d expect from two Columbus teams. We were clearly the superior league, and I don’t really see that changing in the near future.” Earlier this week, the Storm still was deciding whether it would participate in the national club tournament that begins Tuesday, March 22, in Chicago. kadams@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Sports briefs utilize our four-guard offense. They are good leaders and good students and they communicated very well, which all goes together in helping us achieve success.” Espenschied averaged 9.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists and was second-team allleague and honorable mention all-district. Also expected to return is junior point guard Katie Lindsey, the coach’s daughter who averaged 1.5 points and 3.1 assists and was honorable mention all-league. Other key contributors for the Jaguars, who typically used eight players in their four-guard rotation, included junior guards Caitlyn Cote (2.5 points) and Jenna Seagle (2.8 points) and junior post player Jasmine Junkins (5.8 points, 5.2 rebounds). “We return five juniors who all got a lot of playing time and they had good leaders to follow,” coach Lindsey said. “Part of being a good program is having the next group ready. I hope, and I do think, the transition will be fairly smooth. I think we’ll use the same offensive structure next season because the only true post player in our system is Jasmine Junkins. So all the girls will have to be fit and ready to go. There should

LARSON Continued from page B1 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.” Young said it is the consistency of the tournament 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 posi-

tion 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 both will always be part of the high school basketball tournament family. They earned it. I’ll see you at the Fairgrounds. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

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.

That older refrigerator or freezer in your basement or garage is burning up as much as $150 in energy every year. Fortunately, you can recycle it without using any energy at all. We’ll pick it up free, you’ll pick up $35, and you’ll reduce your energy use. And the only finger you have to lift is your dialing finger.
