Sister city

Sayama, Japan was shaken, not damaged, by earthquake By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Adam Cairns/ThisWeek

Demolition of one of Worthington’s oldest schools, Flint School, continues on March 14. The three-room schoolhouse was built in 1924 and closed in 1963.

Flint School demolished by Columbus By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Flint School came tumbling down last week, the victim of a city of Columbus demolition crew. “It was in very poor condition,” said Alan McKnight, director of Columbus Recreation and Parks Department. The long-vacant school stood at the corner of Flint and Park roads in Flint Road Park. Columbus purchased the school and land from Worthington City Schools about 15 years ago. Columbus had originally planned to turn the school into a recreation center. Instead,

Lazelle Woods Recreation Center was built to serve Far North residents. The land will become green space, but McKnight said there are plans to eventually erect some kind of memorial. Those plans must be altered because items to be used were either stolen or vandalized over the weekend, according to Tina Mohn, property manager for the Recreation and Parks Department. Original columns were pushed over by vandals, she said, and an 800-pound cornerstone was stolen. The memorial may now include only a plaque and the school’s original bell, which is currently located on the grounds of Thomas

Worthington High School. “We would still like to do something to recognize the location of the school,” McKnight said. He said he had been in contact with the Far North Columbus Communities Coalition about plans to tear down the school about two years ago. The city offered the school to anyone who wanted to move it, but no one stepped forward, McKnight said. “We did go out and talk to the community,” he said. “I can’t say all the neighbors knew about it.” Worthington schools facilities director See FLINT, page A2

Worthington’s Sister City in Japan escaped serious damage from the earthquake and tsunami that ravaged the country last week. Worthington spokesperson Anne Brown and other members of Worthington International Friendship Association (WIFA) have ex c h a n g e d email with friends in Sayama, Worthington’s Sister City. “Please tell our old friends that people in Sayama area all safe and we will stick it out,” wrote Shigegyoshi Yasutomi on Sunday. He is former exchange coordinator for SIFA, the Sayama International Friendship Association (SIFA), which works with WIFA to set up exchanges between the two cities. The earthquake occurred in the northeast region of the country, about 240 miles from Tokyo and about 300 miles from Sayama.

Still, the quake was felt in Sayama, people were stranded and forced to find alternate transportation because trains were not running, and telephone service was interrupted. That caused some uneasy hours for Sayama residents as they waited to hear from loved ones. In an email to WIFA member Ryan Hoover, Keiko Ogawa told of her family members walking home from work and school. Her husband stopped and bought a bicycle to make it home. Her daughter walked five hours to get home, stopping to pick up her daughter from nursery school. “We were very worried about them,” she wrote. The city is also experiencing rolling blackouts as the country attempts to conserve energy, and there are shortages of gasoline and other supplies in the stores. They are also worried about the dangers of the damaged nuSee SAYAMA, page A2

Council upholds ARB decision on Ben Cason retires addition to Oxford Street house asThisWeek End of an era

executive editor 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 Ben Cason Post to building one 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, See CASON, page A2

A closer look

The outcry of Old Worthington neighbors will not halt construction of an addition to the house at 849 Oxford St. After more than two hours of testimony before a standing-room-only crowd, Worthington City Council March 14 granted architectural approval that will permit the construction of the controversial addition. By a 4-2 vote, council refused to overturn a Feb. 10 decision by the Architectural Review Board. The ARB granted, and council affirmed, an architectural certificate permitting Allison Gentile McGarry and Brian McGarry to build a small entry addition on the front and a larger addition on the rear of the home. An appeal was filed by Sue and Jerry Kneubel, 108 W. Stafford Ave. The reasons for the appeal were that the design was not compatible with the existing house or other homes in the district; the negative impact on two trees in the backyard; and drainage. Neighbors supported the appeal with let-

ters, testimony, and a petition. Monday’s discussion focused on compatibility issues, particularly those involving materials, massing and windows. The 750-square-foot addition and the original house will have a metal, standing seam roof. A chimney on the south side of the addition will be large and visible because of its light color. And the windows on the addition will be box-style bay windows clad in zinc. They do not match the small-paned windows in the original house. Council member Scott Myers asked Al-

lison Gentile McGarry if she would be willing to compromise on the windows. “This town has a window fetish,” said Myers. McGarry said she and her husband followed the guidelines of the Architectural Review Board in designing the house, and had made changes based on the board’s concerns. “I’m paying for this,” she said. “I like the windows, and don’t want to change them.” Dave Foust, who sat on the ARB for 30 years and until a few months ago was a council member, led the charge against the addition. “This decision is not consistent with other decisions of the ARB,” he said. He echoed concerns of neighbors who said the elements of the original house and of the other houses in the neighborhood should have been used in the addition. His concerns included shingles, siding, brick, roof and windows. “You’re bastardizing a house that is one See ADDITION, page A2

Coach Quarters has contributed an out-of-town excursion for 18 persons in a luxury motor coach, while B&C Blacktop Sealing Co. returns with its donation of $1,500 of paving services. Many of the cleverly named packages this year include oversized household items that serve

As it were

Ralston Steel Car Co. was ‘a truly great’ 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 —for almost 50 years — 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. Joseph 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 four-year 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 — with dozens of coal cars passing by — 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 cor-

porations in America. But for all of that, most freight was still moved in wooden cars: box cars, tank ED cars or open LENTZ top “gondola” 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 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 “defense contracts.” 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. While 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

Kilbourne High students launch anti-bullying effort By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

No matter how different that “other kid” may seem, you have this in common: you both put your pants on one leg at a time. With that in mind, a group of students at Worthington Kilbourne High School has launched an antibullying campaign called “One Leg At A Time.” The campaign kicked off this past Sunday with the premiere of the Kilbourne student-made video at the McConnell Arts Center. Students from Worthington elementary, middle, and high schools play themselves in the video, talking about how it feels to be bullied or to be a bully. A high school counselor also gives advice on how to handle being bullied. The idea for the video and the

campaign came to health teacher Lori Povisil at the beginning of the school year, when her enthusiasm for the coming adventure was cut short by hearing about students who committed suicide because they were bullied. “Bullycide” seems to have become more prevalent in recent years, and she decided to try to do something about it. She approached students, who met, decided on a direction, and set out to make the video. They settled on a theme, lined up students to interview, then worked long hours, finishing the video just hours before the premiere. “Starring” in the video were students from Bluffsview and Worthington Estates elementary schools, Kilbourne and McCord middle schools, and Kilbourne

High School. Becca Amato and Ben Neiger did the video recording, production, and editing. All of those involved feel passionate about stopping bullying, Povisil said. The students are also raising money for the campaign by selling “One Leg At A Time” T-shirts, lanyards, and bracelets. The green bracelets say “Be Nice” and are meant to be handed to anyone to remind them not to bully. A “One Leg At A Time” website (www.onedayatatime.org) was launched this week, and more anti-bullying activities will be taking place in the future. Among future efforts are to address cyberbullying, which will be a big project, Povisil said. “This whole thing has taken on a life of its own,” she said.

STIVERS Continued from page A4 fiscal year 2011, which goes through September of this year. Now that it has passed the House, the budget for the rest of this fis-

cal 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.

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 America’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. — a truly great American enterprise. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

CASON Continued from page A1 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 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 Uni-

versity 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.

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-

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-

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.

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.

Five industrious ants work together to carry brightly colored books through the grass. Instead of babies, books dangle from the beaks of storks on their way to make deliveries to a neighborhood of red-roofed houses. Last year, Granby Elementary School students Ashley Flynn and Gordon Liu were instrumental in promoting Worthington Libraries’ summer reading club theme, “Share the Love. Read.” The pair, and seven others, won the library’s Bookmark Illustration Contest and had their drawings turned into bookmarks, which were available throughout the spring and summer. It’s not too late to enter the 2011 competition and knock one out of the park. Kids in preschool through sixth grade can pick up a bookmark template at any library location. Crayons, colored pencils, markers and paints can be used to illustrate this year’s baseball theme. Up to three drawings can be entered, but each must be returned to the library by March 31. Three winners will be chosen from each of three age groups: preschool/kindergarten, grades 1-3 and grades 4-6. This year’s Summer Reading League is a partnership with the Columbus Clippers baseball team. Children and teens will earn points for time spent reading. After a complete game, each participant is eligible to receive two tickets (one per child and one for an adult, limit two adult tickets per family) to watch the Columbus Clippers play downtown at Hillary Kline is communications specialist for Worthington LiHuntington Park.

Helping Hands 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-business,” 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. 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 three years from the Northland Deanery. Helping Hands also offers assistance with tax preparation through the Ohio Benefits Bank, she said. 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 888-2201 or via e-mail, dave@inkwellcolumbus.com, or Lisa Fravel at 8826616 or via e-mail, lisa.fravel@pnc.com. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Views differ on adding North High parking in Clintonville By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

As far as D Searcy is concerned, it would turn the main street in a part of Clintonville that has plenty of parking lots into a parking lot. In the opinion of James R. Blazer II, it could make two stretches of North High Street much more pedestrian friendly and alleviate the issue of business customers parking in residential areas. “It” is the idea of allowing parking on both sides of North High Street from Hollenback Drive north to the Worthington city limits. Blazer and Searcy, both members of the Clintonville Area Commission, obviously do not see eye to eye on the idea. At the most recent CAC meeting, District 9 representative Searcy sought and got the stretch of North High between Morse Road and Worthington withdrawn from a planning and development committee proposal to ask city officials to review the wisdom of adding parking. Searcy said that her constituents were “outraged” that the idea was com-

ing out without any advanced warning. “I hope it will not be raised again,” Searcy said. Consideration of the request for traffic personnel to again review adding parking on North High between Hollenback and Morse roads was put off to the commission’s April meeting. Adding parking north of where it’s currently permitted on North High was proposed by planning and development co-chairman Nick Cipiti in two sections, because north of Morse Road it becomes U.S. Route 23, requiring a different path for permitting the change to be implemented. It was Blazer, the District 3 representative for the CAC, who first broached the idea of allowing parking along North High from where it’s currently cut off south of Hollenback north to Worthington. He said last week that he did so because District 6’s Jennifer Kangas was unable to attend the February session of planning and development, as well as in response to a request from the chief financial officer for Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream last fall when the CAC consid-

ered a variance request that paved the way for a Clintonville store. “If you have no parking on High Street then that overflow automatically goes into the residential neighborhoods,” Blazer said. “The concept would be fine if we didn’t already have traffic congestion,” Searcy said. “Anyone who has tried to drive from Morse up past Wesley Glen, lots of times both lanes are backed up, so the idea of putting a parked car in the lane next to the curb would horribly exacerbate that problem.” Parking hours would be restricted so that all four lanes are open to traffic during morning and evening commuting times, Blazer said, as is currently the case in the Short North segment of High Street. In an e-mail Searcy sent out to District 9 constituents in advance of the March CAC meeting, in order to get as many of them to attend as possible, she wrote: “It is important to know there is no member of the CAC planning and development Committee who lives north of Morse Road. In addition, this on-

street parking issue has not been discussed with the residents or business owners of District 9 who will be severely negatively impacted by this idea.” “I think what people don’t understand, and what a lot of the commissioners don’t understand, is just because we’re asking for it doesn’t mean it’s going to get done,” Blazer said. “I’m kind of appalled by Commissioner Searcy’s reaction,” he said. “If she didn’t want it she certainly could have called me and discussed it before hand. It’s a shame she’s taken that approach that we’re trying to do something nefarious.” In Blazer’s view, on-street parking can make a busy street more pedestrian friendly by adding the barrier of parked cars between a person on the sidewalk and moving traffic. In addition, he said, narrowing the street slows traffic down. “It was merely a suggestion for the state and city to take a look at it and see if it can be done,” Blazer said. With consideration of adding parking on North High between Morse Road and the Worthington corporation limit

withdrawn, the District 3 representative said that he would still seek consideration of the change from Morse south to Hollenback. “I’m going to continue to bring it up for north of the library, Hollenbeck north to Morse Road, because I think it makes sense and alleviates some of the parking problems that have occurred,” Blazer said. “I think that’s our job is to check that to see if that’s a possibility or not a possibility.” Residents and business owners in that stretch of North High Street must fight their own battles if they object to the increased parking, Searcy said. “That’s probably something that that the community of people living there needs to weigh in on,” she said. Searcy reiterated that it’s not an idea that finds favor, or is at all needed, in District 9. “Our area is sometimes referred to as the parking lot of Clintonville anyway,” Searcy said. “Unlike a lot of Clintonville, we have a lot of off-street parking.” That was an assessment with which Blazer agreed.

Late Night Slice expands to include Clintonvile store By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After Mike Sorboro, his friends and his employees had finished transforming a small shack in a defunct Short North used car lot into the smallest pizza place in all of Columbus, what might have seemed like a fatal flaw in their little business venture came to light. “I literally had never made pizza before in my life,” Sorboro said. Oops. Today, Mikey’s Late Night Slice has three “brick and mortar” locations, the newest of which, at 15 E. Duncan St., is intended to serve not only Olde North Columbus but also Clintonville. It was the closest available space he could find, Sorboro said, in response to the oft-repeated question from customers, “When are you going to open in Clintonville?” Mikey’s Late Night Slice is definitely not some corporate franchise operation, as the menu at the East Duncan Street store makes obvious. A hummus platter and hummus pita, at $5 and $4, respectively, appear under the heading “Rabbit Food.” The list of beverages for sale is proudly proclaimed to be “24 flavors of Faygo.”

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Mike Sorboro, owner of Mikey’s Late Night Pizza, puts out his sign advertising the fact that his business is open to at least 3 a.m. at 15 E. Duncan St., to serve Clintonville and Olde North Columbus.

The “Special Items” include something called The Pizza Dog: “a hot dog stuffed with pepperoni served in a slice of pizza as the bun!” It is further described as “a healthy alternative to a cup of melted butter.”

And then, in the listings for “Fried Stuff,” there is the Fried Pizza at $4 a serving, which is “Your choice of sliced battered and deep-fried.” “Yeah,” the menu adds, “we went there.” In addition to the original Late Night Slice store in the 138-square-foot shack in the Short North, the second location inside Woodlands Tavern, the former Thirsty Ear on West Third Avenue, and the East Duncan Street spot, Late Night Slice has a fourth location: A big panel van with a complete pizza kitchen inside. On the outside customers are advised: “Pay. Eat. Leave.” The Facebook page for the business describes it as “The Amy Winehouse of Columbus Pizza joints.” “Actually, all that irreverence should not be too surprising, considering that the 30-year-old entrepreneur got the idea for his enterprise from a bunch of drunks. William Michael Sorboro was born in Akron but has lived in Columbus for much of the past 11 years. He followed some friends who enrolled at Ohio State, and took some classes there himself as well as at practically every other institution of higher learning in the city, from Columbus State to Hondros College.

Sorboro spent eight years working as a disc jockey, much of the time in Columbus but also in New York, Florida, South Carolina and Las Vegas. It was while he was working in Las Vegas, Sorboro said, that he went to San Diego on vacation and saw people riding in pedicabs, a sort of cross between a rickshaw and a bicycle. Sorboro is nothing if not a “Why not?” sort of a guy, so he came back to Columbus, bought five bicycle taxis with his now-managing partner Jason Biundi and began offering rides to people attending festivals in the Short North area and coming out of the bars and restaurants in the Short North and Arena District. Aside from providing rides for people no longer able to do that much walking on their own, Sorboro said that Environmentally Conscious Transportation Pedicabs are of serve to those parked too far away to walk but not far enough to justify taking a cab. Soroboro’s original five pedicabs are still in operation, he said, and Columbus now has a total of 14 of them. One of the first things pedicab customers asked him after coming out of this or that establishment at closing time, Sorboro said, was “Where’s the food?” and

“Where can I get a slice of pizza?” “You just hear it enough and you think, ‘OK, where is the pizza by the slice?’ ” Sorboro said last week as he was opening the Duncan Street store for business. The abandoned shack at the old car lot next the Bodega on North High Street, was available from Sorboro’s landlord, so Columbus Public Health officials were asked to determine if it was feasible to create pizzas in such confined space. It was, Sorboro said, so he began plowing money from his pedicab earnings into sinks and spatulas and a pizza oven. Mikey’s Late Night Slice opened for business on July 4, 2009, at first using pizza dough from another parlor, Sorboro said. Because of the volume of customers wanting a $3 slice of pie or maybe two or three, they soon had to start making their own. “The volume that we do out of that little shack is just breathtaking,” Sorboro said. The hours fit the name: 8 p.m. to at least 3 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 p.m. to at least 4 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. “You don’t close until everybody’s fed,” Sorboro said he tells his employees.

Commentary

‘Old Barn’ remains Young at heart 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 LARRY us who love these events LARSON 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 12year 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 writ-

Swimming & Diving

Chemistry key to Cards’ success By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Coach Jim Callahan might have found the formula for success with the Thomas Worthington High School boys and girls swimming and diving teams. He relied on his 12 seniors to guide the underclassmen. “I think we arguably had the best chemistry on this team that we’ve had in years,” Callahan said. “That was definitely the strong point of this team. The seniors really provided great leadership in the pool and outside of it and brought the whole team together.” The boys team finished second at the OCC-Central Division meet on Jan. 29 with 252 points, behind Upper Arlington (388.5) and ahead of Dublin Coffman (162.5), Worthington Kilbourne (133), Hilliard Darby (123), Hilliard Davidson (98) and Central Crossing (55). The Cardinals also placed second (195) behind New Albany (238) in the Division I sectional Feb. 12, were fourth (161) behind UA (432.5), St. Charles (347.5) and New Albany (197.5) at district Feb. 19 and tied Garfield Heights for 31st (13) behind champion Cincinnati St. Xavier (312) at state Feb. 24-26. The girls team placed second (252) in the league behind UA (433) and ahead of Coffman (171), Davidson (159), Central Crossing (72), Kilbourne (61) and Darby (50). The Thomas girls won sectional (194), placed third (201) behind UA (505) and Watterson (240) at district and were 13th (56) at state behind champion UA (286) for their highest state finish since placing 11th in 2003. At state, which was held in Canton’s C.T. Branin Natatorium, senior Claudia Doyle placed See LARSON, page D4 second in the 100-yard backstroke

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 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 43 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 against 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.

About the athletes…

AL CASERTA

Brothers helped toughen Delande By JEREMY STEWART

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.”

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen CATCHY WORDS You may already know that numerous studies show that eating fish regularly helps improve cardiovascular health. If so, you shouldn’t be surprised that a new study shows that consuming omega-3 fatty acids and fish is associated with a reduced risk of age-related hearing loss. Study participants who consumed the most total omega-3s and the highest intake of the complex omega-3s found in fish were at lower risk of hearing loss. People who ate fish at least twice a week were 42% less likely to suffer hearing loss over five years than those eating fish less than once a week. Non-fish sources are available for those not partial to eating fish but desirous of consuming omega-3 fatty acids to preserve hearing. Whether by consuming foods high in omega-3 fatty acids or wearing ear plugs in noisy environments, all of us should strive to protect our hearing throughout our lives. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our trained professionals will take the time to listen to you, learn about your specific needs, and select the right hearing instrument for you.

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.

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.

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.”

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).

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.”

the consolation final in a schoolrecord 21.14, and finished 13th in the 100 free (47.43). Freshman Jesus Caraballo, sophomore Trenton Harper, senior Philip Mueller and Sam Reeder were 19th in the 200 free relay (1:29.24). Harper, freshman Matt Reed, sophomore Edgar Caraballo and Jesus Caraballo placed 23rd in the 200 medley relay (1:40.77). Jesus Caraballo, junior Adam Wolf, Sam Reeder and Mueller placed 23rd in the 400 free relay (3:19.48). “One of the highlights of the year was getting all six of our relays on to the state meet and having the girls place in the top eight in the 200 medley relay,” Callahan said. The Cardinals shattered three of their oldest records. Doyle’s state swim in the 100 back broke the old mark of 56.0 set by Sheri White in 1989. Sam Reeder broke the 50 free record twice by going 21.27 to place second at district and topping it at state. The previous best in the 50 free was 21.5 by David Greenlee in 1985. At district, Maren Reeder set the 100 breast record while placing fourth in 1:06.02. The previous record, Kathy Burnside’s 1:06.3, had stood since 1978. The Cardinals will lose seniors Sam Reeder, Joey Banks, Brennan Cline, Phil Mueller and Caleb Williams on the boys side, and Davis, Doyle, Lauren Bradley, Katie Chu, Amanda Hitzmann, Jalpa Shah and Sadie Zufall from the girls team. Juniors Michael Allison, George Doyle, Michael Frankland and Adam Wolf, sophomores Edgar Caraballo, Harper and Mason Zurovchak and freshman Jesus Caraballo, Matt Reed and Michael Wolf all are expected to return for the boys team. Juniors Katie Allison, Ashley Parks, Lauryn Rabold and Claudia Smith, sophomores Jank, Maren Reeder and Valentine and freshman Cassandra Laios should be back for the girls team. •The district awards podium was just out of reach for the Kilbourne boys team’s 200 and 400

Sophomore Mitchell Guist, freshman Matt Lacey, junior Keeler Callahan and senior Jake Wood placed ninth in the 400 free relay (3:22.7), and the 200 free relay of Lacey, junior Ryan Wiet, Keeler Callahan and Wood took ninth (1:31.75). Only the top eight make it to the awards podium. The expected return of the team’s two state qualifiers in Keeler Callahan (14th in 200 free, 1:43.13) and diver Hunter Atha (ninth, 413.60 points), and everyone except Wood on the three relays, has junior Conor Lemmon excited about his team’s chances next season. “What’s going to stand out about this year is how well we did on the relays,” said Lemmon, who joined freshman Riku Kaida, Guist and Wiet in a 12th-place district finish in the 200 medley relay (1:46.66). “Although we didn’t finish as high as we would have liked, we got some of the best times Kilbourne has gone in years. “I think next year the medley relay could place at the district and the free relays could make it to the states. It’s going to be a great season next year.” Wood is one of five seniors the Wolves will lose, joining Nikhil Gupta from the boys team and Erin Cipicchio, Katie Reiter and Jazmin Soto from the girls team. Juniors Keeler Callahan, Hunter Atha, Lemmon, Wiet and Jared Grubaugh, sophomores Guist and Lou Pfeifer and freshmen Kaida, Lacey and Tanner Atha are expected to return to the boys team.

Sophomores Lindsey Hoskins, Maggie Wachtel, Katherine Watkins and Emily Wallin and freshman Lindsey Fisher all are expected to return. Hoskins (10th in diving, 324.10) and Watkins (14th in diving, 279.25) scored the only points for the Wolves at district. Fisher, Wachtel, Reiter and Wallin placed 23rd in the 400 free relay (4:19.11). “Having the girls make it in the 400 free relay was pretty special,” coach Callahan said. pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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

classes with 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 PAUL about BYU, it made BATTERSON me mad. I’ve heard people say, ‘Why would 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

HOCKEY

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 all-time 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 atmosphere. “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

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 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 cham-

pionship 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

ten 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.

SPRING A/C TUNE-UP

OH LIC #25292

A Great Pyrenees had 8-10 pounds of matted fur shaved off. That dog, one of 361 currently residing at the Franklin County Fairgrounds, is now on the road to recovery after being seized from a rescue shelter in Clark County. “The dogs are doing much better,” said Kyle Held, a field investigator for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “Many of the animals had medical issues such as eye and ear infections, overgrown nails and matted fur. Some dogs had open wounds due to severe matting.” Veterinarians shaved the dogs’ matted fur and put them on antibiotics to treat infections, Held said. In addition, there were behavioral issues because of their previous home. “I can tell you they’re in much better surroundings than they were,” Held said. “They’re in clean cages, getting socialized and people are handling them every day, multiple times a day.”
