Kasich’s budget plan

Schools, city expect cuts in state funding By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A proposed two-year state budget unveiled by Gov. John Kasich last week has both the city and school district anticipating a reduction in state funds. The state’s biennial budget that begins in July had to cover an $8-billion deficit, and Dublin City Schools officials say they likely would see a reduction in funds if Kasich’s new “Jobs Budget” makes its way through the state legislature intact, although certainties remain elusive. District treasurer Stephen Osborne said the administration has a general idea of the proposed budget but is waiting for a district-by-district breakdown from the Office of Budget and Management.

“The main point is, details for the budget have been short,” he said. “There’s no way for us to pinpoint how it would affect our district. We anticipated reductions in this Stephen budget. There is an Osborne $8-billion deficit in the budget that he is trying to fill. We’re anticipating reductions, and at this point all of the details have not been released. We’re hoping to get something (this) week.” Details that have been released thus far show a loss for school districts in the tangible-personal-property-tax (TPP)

DCVB’s Dring: Reductions to state’s travel-tourism budget would hurt Dublin By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Some cities, schools and other groups that receive state funding were scrambling last week after Gov. John Kasich unveiled his two-year state budget that absorbed an $8-billion shortfall in revenues. Dublin Convention & Visitor Bureau executive director Scott Dring was relieved just to see the Ohio Division of Travel & Tourism included

in the budget. “We were very pleased to be in there,” he said, adding that the budget plan includes an 8- to 10-percent decrease in funding. Scott Although the Dring DCVB doesn’t receive direct funding from the state – the lion’s share of the DCVB’s budget comes from the city bed tax – it de-

pends on the Ohio Division of Travel & Tourism to help bring people to the city, spend money in Dublin businesses and fill rooms at Dublin hotels. “(The Ohio Division of Travel & Tourism) has a great impact,” Dring said. “They do a lot of cooperative types of advertising partnerships. They bought a regional newspaper insert that will be in 45 different newspapers across the Midwest. For example, if See DCVB’S DRING:, page A2

Gatherings aim to honor, aid earthquake survivors By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With several Japanese companies and residents in Dublin, efforts to help those affected by the March 11 earthquake and resulting tsunami have been ongoing throughout the community. A public gathering to honor the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 20 at Dublin Baptist Church’s ARC building yielded several ideas to send help to survivors. “A lot of people have started in many different ways to do something, sometimes at a company level by donating money or through a charity drive,” said Isao Shoji, who helped organize the gathering. “Some of us thought that there needs to be a gathering where people can exchange information for a coordinated effort. We don’t want 100 different people to do 100 different things.” The gathering drew about 150 people, Shoji said, including many different cultures, ethniciSee GATHERINGS, page A2

A proposed east-west route for cyclers hit a roadblock last week after residents expressed concern and anger during a Dublin City Council meeting. During a March 14 meeting, council members heard three options for bike lanes and a pedestrian path along Brand Road, between Dublin Road and Muirfield Drive. City engineer Paul Hammersmith told council he had looked into three alternatives and how they would affect utilities and residential property, as well as other construction impacts. A view of the three options was the first step in the process. Hammersmith requested guidance from council on a preferred option to take to neighboring residents. Dublin included about $2-million into the 2011 capital improvement plan to fund the path, with money from the parkland acquisition fund set aside for easements and right-of-way acquisition. The first alternative is an 8-foot leisure trail on one side of Brand Road. Hammersmith said the $1.1-million option would run mostly along the south side of Brand, between Muirfield Drive and Earlington Parkway-Brandonway Drive, because the north fork of Indian Run is close to the north side of the roadway. “From Earlington Parkway-Brandonway Drive to Dublin Road, the path will be run along the north side of Brand Road, where there are fewer obstructions and more open areas,” Hammersmith’s study stated. Alternative 2 involves two 4-foot bike lanes, one on each side of Brand Road. Work for the bike lanes would mean widening Brand Road and restriping it. The option would cost $1.6-million. Hammersmith said little land acquisition would be required for this option because most of the land needed, “generally speaking, is all within the road right of way.” The third alternative combines the first two alternatives and shows a bike lane on each side of Brand Road, in addition to a leisure trail on one side of the road. This option carried a $2.6-million price tag. Hammersmith said option 3 could “encroach” upon residents living on the south side of Brand Road because of the road widening and 8-footwide leisure trail. He also proposed and said he preferred alternative 3A, which includes bike lanes on each side See BRAND ROAD TRAILS, page A6

Dublin enjoying profits of fiber-optics rentals By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Fiber-optics rental in Dublin over the next 10 years will mean 100-percent profit for Dublink.

Dublin City Council members last week approved a rental agreement with a new company for an optical fiber in the Dublink system, and the possibility of another leasing agreement soon

could follow. Thus far, Dublin has leased In 2009, council members au- 10 of the 12 optical fibers. The thorized city staff to lease up to leases are expected to generate 12 optical fibers through Dublink $1.8-million for the city, and the at a rate of $3,000 per month, according to a staff memo.

Schools, city expect cuts in state funding Continued from page A1 reimbursements. State lawmakers repealed the tax on inventory, equipment and utilities for businesses. According to House Bill 66, the state will reimburse school districts for the loss in TPP tax funding but slowly will phase out the reimbursements by 2020. Dublin City Schools expected to receive about $10-million in TPP reimbursements in fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013. In FY 2014, the district would have expected about $8.2-million. Kasich’s proposed budget, however, calls for speeding up the phase-out of the reimbursements. “The big thing is the TPP,” Osborne said. “We’re talking a 37.2percent reduction for the next year and an additional 34.2-per-

cent reduction for financial year 2012. That would equate to about $10.9-million total over the two years.” Osborne said the budget proposal also calls for a loss-revenues cap, whereby school districts couldn’t lose more than 2 percent of their total revenue. “That would take it from $10.9million to $9.7-million,” he said. The school district has planned for a loss in state funding, though. “We had put a 10-percent reduction in the five-year forecast for foundation funding,” Osborne said. “The governor’s proposal is giving that a slight increase, but we’re not anticipating we’ll see an increase in state funding because we’re a guaranteed district.” Being a guaranteed district, Dublin “gets the same amount

(in state foundation funding) regardless of how many students move into the district because we are a high-property-value district,” Osborne said. Osborne said the district administration expects to have a better understanding of the proposed budget’s full effect soon. Until then, the district waits. “Of course, we had incorporated loses in our forecast, but we’ll have to wait and see those details to see the scope and see how it all comes together,” he said. The city of Dublin seems to have a fairly clear picture already, and city officials aren’t so worried. Kasich’s proposed budget would reduce funding to municipalities by 25 percent in the first year of the two-year budget and

an additional 25 percent the next year. Dublin likely wouldn’t be severely affected, city officials say. In 2009, Dublin received about $1-million from the state and last year a little less. “We’ve been seeing some reductions over the past several years,” city manager Marsha Grigsby said. “We knew it was likely there would be more reductions coming up in the next budget cycle.” State funding accounts for only a small percentage of Dublin’s revenue, Grigsby said, so the city stands to lose about $133,000 in 2011 and $260,000 in 2012. “We’re fortunate that it’s not much, about 1.8 percent of our total general-fund revenue,” she said. With such a small portion of

DCVB’s Dring: Reductions to state’s travel-tourism budget would hurt Dublin Continued from page A1 you pick up a paper in Chicago, inside will be an insert about Ohio tourism, and we’ll be included in that. There’s no way a bureau our size could afford to have a presence in the Chicago Tribune, for example.” While the tourism department provides advertising opportunities, it also has given Dublin some exposure in national media. “Many other of the leadership things they do is to go on media missions and meet with travel writers,” Dring said. “We go on those with them. They set it up and get appointments, and we buy into it and promote Dublin. Without them our marketing efforts would suffer tremendously.” Although Dring was pleased with fund-

ing for the Ohio Department of Tourism in the proposed budget, he was one local tourism professional who had done some lobbying on behalf of the state last week. “The division of travel and tourism is the marketing agency for the entire state,” Dring said. “With an $8-billion deficit, everyone is being cut substantially. We lobbied hard to kind of tell the legislature and their constituents that travel and tourism is part of the solution for the budget crunch.” According to Dring, travel in Ohio is a $36-billion industry that generates 437,000 jobs statewide. “A huge factor in this is, every dollar the division of travel and tourism spends to market Ohio generates $13 for the state’s coffers,” he said.

The travel and tourism industry in Dublin is also significant. Last year, Dublin’s bed tax brought in $2-million. The DCVB is funded by 25 percent of the bed tax. The Dublin Arts Council also receives 25 percent of bed-tax funds, and 50 percent goes to grants and such community events as the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Dring said his belief in the benefit of travel and tourism also prompted him to join the Ohio Tourism Works initiative that was created last year. The stated goal is “to create awareness for the need of a state tourism office and to reinforce that tourism is a revenue generator for Ohio. “It’s always been our message that we are really part of the solution to the budget crunch,” he said.

Karrer sixth-grader Chirag Agrawal recorded his donation to relief efforts as the school’s students and staff held a fundraising drive to help earthquake and tsunami survivors in Japan.

to do something for them, Miller said. “It’s for the entire district.” Worthington City Schools also asked to join in the vigil, Miller said. At Dublin’s Karrer Middle School, money wasn’t collected, but students were encouraged to donate money to relief efforts in Japan. Principal Rick Weininger said students had written their donation amounts on a poster board in the school lobby last week. “In the morning (on the announcements), we’ve been doing something like a telethon, but it lasts about 30 seconds,” he said. “We encourage people to give, and it’s fun stuff. We had a teacher sing and juggle.” The weeklong drive resulted in $1,353 in donations from Karrer students, Weininger said.

Ideas included a series of concerts that would benefit relief efforts, as well as bake sale, origami sales and other fundraising initiatives. Shoji said one group wants to work with Dublin City Schools and other districts to have students write letters to Japanese students. “The second project would (be to) work with the schools, certainly Dublin schools and other districts around, to draw pictures and write messages of hope and encouragement to school kids in Japan,” he said.

Cycling group rolls out final recommendations By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Final recommendations from Dublin’s bicycle advisory task force might not mean the end of the group. Dublin City Council commissioned the group in fall 2009 to help improve cycling opportunities in the city, and members gave council their final list of recommendations last week. Although the group previously has provided council with requests for trails and bike lanes around the city, the final recommendations mostly hinged on city policy and educational efforts. Task force chairman Tom Merritt started the final requests with two requests.

A closer look Recommendations included having the city adopt a bicycle transportation policy that would make biking a viable option for residents, creating bicycle parking regulations and developing standards for bicycle facilities.

“First, we really believe the task force should continue on in some way,” he said. “Number 2: It’s very important to identify someone in the city who would be coordinator of bicycle resources.” According to the memo from the task

force, the bicycle coordinator “would not be a new position but simply a duty assigned to an existing individual or position.” Council member John Reiner, who serves on the task force, encouraged the requests and said both must be fulfilled for the city to be named a bike-friendly community. Other recommendations are based on the “five E’s,” Merritt said: engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation. Recommendations included having the city adopt a bicycle transportation policy that would make biking a viable option for residents, creating bicycle parking regulations and developing stan-

dards for bicycle facilities. Educating cyclists and motorists on safety and other cycling facets was another recommendation. “Education is hugely important. We learned a whole bunch of things we thought we knew but didn’t,” Merritt said of the task force. “Education is a key component to this.” Creation of a cycling way-finding map, as well as safe routes to school for Dublin children via bicycle, made the list. The task force recommendations also encouraged the city to create a bicycle page on the city’s website to provide maps, programs and other issues about cycling.

Incentives to encourage cycling, collecting information on cycling over time and reviewing crash data also were suggested to keep the city up to date on the number of people cycling and any potential problems. Mayor Tim Lecklider applauded the group’s work and recommendations. “I can’t believe it’s been 17 months,” he said. “Council really heard community support and enthusiasm for this initiative.” Staff members plan to bring a resolution to council during its March 28 meeting to accept the task force’s final recommendation, which includes maintaining the group and appointing a staff member as bicycle coordinator.

As it were

Everybody walked when city of Columbus was young Columbus has not been a “walking city” for quite some time. There was a time, when Columbus was young, when everybody walked to get just about anywhere. But that time, that walking time, ended relatively early in the city’s history. Columbus was and is a created city. There was no city on the “High Banks opposite Franklinton” until the Ohio General Assembly brought it into being in 1812. That new town was a place of many trees and few people for a number of years. But even after the trees were gone and the streets were lit nightly with oil lamps, people walked to get from place to place. The residents of Columbus walked to church, and to school and to the shops that extended south from Statehouse Square toward Main Street. Even after the Ohio Canal and the National Road arrived in Columbus in the early 1830s, it remained a walking city. A ride on the canal or along the National Road was expensive and most people simply did not have that kind of money. Because most cities, like Columbus, were walking cities, there was little inclination to reside anywhere other than close to downtown. So that is what most people did until well after the end of the Civil War in 1865. But it was during the war that the new age was foretold. The first streetcar appeared on High Street in 1863 in the middle of the Civil War. It seemed to be a good time for this kind of innovation. The small town of 18,000 people had suddenly become the home of thousands of Union troops at nearby Camp Chase on the West Side of the city. It was a good time to grow a business in central Ohio. A lot of people did just that, and Columbus became a rather big city in the years after the war. It was in those years that Columbus became a “streetcar city” as well. That one lonely streetcar moving up and down High Street pulled by two overworked horses soon was succeeded by a number of streetcar companies. Each served a different part of town and each wound its way through its own particular part of the city, eventually ending up somewhere near the center of things that came

to be called “downtown.” It is interesting to note that until well after the Civil War, no one really talked ED about a downLENTZ town Columbus. The place was such a small town that no one part of it was more central than another. The streetcars changed all that. They permitted people to live one, two and even three miles from the center of the city in new, mostly residential “streetcar suburbs.” These suburbs were few in number at first because riding on a slow-moving streetcar that was hot in the summer and cold in the winter was not all that pleasant. But all of that changed in the early 1890s when the streetcars became electrified. Now the big new streetcars — heated in the winter and moving fast enough to be cool in the summer — took the new middle class of Columbus to new homes in new neighborhoods several miles from the center of the city. All the streetcar suburbs were soon superseded by whole new

groups of suburban communities based around the automobile. To this day, it is not all that hard to see the difference between the streetcar suburbs and the automobile suburbs that followed them. Look at the houses along Neil Avenue just north of Goodale. This is a classic streetcar suburb. The large houses of elaborate design and décor are spaced quite close to one another along the broad and spacious avenue. This was a street that once carried not just one but two streetcar tracks in its center. In its heyday, the fashionable middle class who lived in these houses left their nice homes in the morning and boarded a nearby streetcar to travel to work or play in the central city. By the 1920s, thanks to Henry Ford, the automobile, once a toy of the rich, had become the belonging of much of the rest of America. A whole new class of automobile suburbs was built four, five and six miles from the downtown. We can find them easily today in Clintonville, on the Hilltop and on the East and South sides of the city. The houses are still quite close together. But now one can find driveways as well,

Some spectators didn’t follow rules To the editor: Disrespect and lack of consideration for others was exhibited by about 30 people (about 15 adults and 15 children) who refused to stay behind the spectator barriers at the crosswalk next to Starbucks in Old Dublin during the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 12. These individuals refused to listen to parade volunteers and Dublin police officers and were out into the parade route as far as the center line, blocking the view of others and encroaching on the path of parade participants. These individuals apparently thought themselves above the rules the other spectators felt obligated to follow to make the event enjoyable for all. Are people this self-centered and what in the world are they teaching their children? What do you say to the children who are watching this behavior from behind the barriers where they are supposed to be?

who walked everywhere to a people who hardly walked anywhere. By the 1990s, it was becoming apparent that we had become a nation of people who needed a bit more exercise. Fortunately for us, the people who manage our parks, both locally and regionally, have anticipated this need and provided us with a wonderful set of places to walk, run and even ride our bikes. All we have to do now is learn to use them.

The new subdivisions built after the war were significantly different than the neighborhoods built in the 1920s and 1930s. The houses were very much like one another and featured prominent garages facing the street. And most of these new developments had no sidewalks.

leading to small garages behind the houses. It is almost as if people felt the obligation to hide the cars that had brought them to suburban enjoyment. But these new 1920s suburbs did have one important amenity: sidewalks. Even if a person were forced to use a car to get to suburbia, it was expected that one would walk after arriving there. Even this expectation was put aside after World War II. The 16-million men who came home after the war were looking for cars, wives and a place to live

Brand Road trails plan hits roadblock Continued from page A1 of Brand Road and a leisure trail on Brand Road, between Earlington Parkway-Brandonway Drive and Dublin Road. The $2.3-million option would “have less of an impact on adjacent properties than alternative 3 between Muirfield Drive and Earlington ParkwayBrandonway Drive,” the study stated. Brand Road resident Neal Hahn brought up drainage and land-loss concerns over the proposed options. He also asked how many people actually would use the trails. “How many people will ride past my home? How many people will commute to work?” he asked. For Andy Keeler, the question was why put trails on such a busy, narrow road. “I think Post Road is a better option,” he said. The path would come close to the front door of Brand Road resident Steve Rand, who also expressed concerns about the trails ruining the “scenic nature of Brand Road.”

Safety concerns also came up. “When I think about someone riding down Brand Road, it’s very dangerous,” said Bruce McLoughlin, adding that traffic does not obey the 35-mph speed limit. While some council members mulled over the impact of the trails on the nature of Brand Road and how much trails would be used, vice mayor Amy Salay asked for a list of possible alternatives to Brand Road. John Reiner stuck by the idea, using Muirfield Village as an example. People hated the paths at first, but “in the end, we said it was a great amenity. “We probably have a community where bicyclists are at risk because we haven’t developed the paths and trails,” he said. Council directed Hammersmith to meet with residents who would be affected by the proposed trail ideas and to talk about each of the options to gauge public opinion. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Dublink proves We Are profitable for Dublin Continued from page A1 new 10-year contract that council has approved should bring in an additional $720,000. Dana McDaniel, deputy city manager and economic development director, mentioned the possibility of also leasing another fiber in the near future, potentially bringing in another $720,000. “That number equals the money we spent building this system,” he said. “We can pay for it twice.” Dublin initially invested about $3.2-million in Dublink when it was installed in the late 1990s, McDaniel said. Dublin also enjoys savings from Dublink through communications. McDaniel said analysis conducted by city staff shows that Dublin has recouped its investment in Dublink over the past 10 years by using it for such city purposes as communications. “Over the past 10 years, the city has by far recovered its initial investments in both the optical fiber and Wi-Fi systems, even with the city’s cost and overhead to run its own system,” the staff report stated. “This does not take into consideration the job attraction, value-added services and national and international recognition the city has received for building this infrastructure.” By leasing Dublink fibers, the city expects to

recoup its investment in the optical fiber system a second time. “In subleasing the fibers over the next 10 years, we will make $3.2-million,” he told ThisWeek. The city also has used the optical fiber system as an economic development incentive to attract companies. Although the resolution approved last week exceeds the number of optical fibers council initially had intended for lease, McDaniel said, 24 fibers still would be available for economic development or maintenance. With technology advances, McDaniel said, the city could make the optical fibers available for use by several others, making the network “theoretically infinite.” According to the staff report, by using dense wave multi-plexing, or DWDM, the city could split a single pair of fibers into “multiple light waves. This can exponentially increase the capacity of a single pair of fiber and allow multiple users to use the same fiber.” Council member John Reiner applauded McDaniel for getting the city into optical fiber early. “Thank you for having the moxie to do this,” he said. “You’ve come back with a great return (on investment) and made us proud.” jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The second annual contest, organized by Historic Dublin business Ha’penny Bridge Imports of Ireland, drew 11 contestants and kicked off St. Patrick’s Day festivities in Dublin on March 11.

Neighbors in the news Dublin residents win music honors

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Kilbourne Middle School student Sarah Bellish of Worthington receives a check from Dublin Scioto High School seniors Noha Ali and Jae Young Yoon during an assembly March 18. The students raised more than $6,000 to send Bellish to Nashville to record a song through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Also pictured in the back are Scioto special-education teacher Karri Ward and enrichment coordinator Holly Hall.

Scioto makes ‘Wish’ donation Dublin Scioto High School students donated $6,000 to make the wish of a Worthington girl come true. During an assembly last week, Scioto High School students donated the money to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which will redirect the money to Sarah Bellish, a Worthington 14-year-old with spinal muscular atrophy. The donation will help ful-

fill Bellish’s wish to travel to Nashville, where she will make a recording. Scioto students held numerous fundraisers to collect money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, including bake sales, a gingerbread-house auction and a donut sale. Scioto students have raised money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation for several years and have donated more than

$20,000 total. The Make-A-Wish Foundation sponsors a “Students for Wish Kids” program that enables students to help grant the wishes of local children, according to the foundation’s website. Students come up with ideas for fundraisers and manage the projects with help from their teachers and a MakeA-Wish representative.

Two Dublin residents have been awarded 2011 Music Educator Awards from the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. Karen Pfiefer received the community education award, and Deborah Graham-Gibson was given the elementary education award. The awards are given to music educators who have made a lasting difference in the lives of students, an impact on the community through music education, inspired students and shown longevity in the music education field, according to information from the symphony. GrahamGibson is an elementary music specialist at Upper Arlington’s Barrington Ele m e n t a r y Deborah School and Graham-Gibson earned the title of Ohio master teacher from the Ohio Department of Education. According to a release from the CSO, Graham-Gibson has spent her career as a vocal music

specialist at Upper Arlington schools, where she was named teacher of the year for 2004-05. She also has worked with marching bands in Bellbrook and Dublin, performs with the Worthington Civic Band and has served on the board of trustees for the Ohio Music Education Association. Pfeifer runs a private music education studio. Her students often fare well at state and national competitions and are selected to be Karen soloists in the Pfiefer Columbus Symphony Youth and Cadet Orchestras. The principal oboe for the Central Ohio Symphony, Pfeifer also is a member of the New Albany Symphony Orchestra and a founding member of the Columbus Bach Ensemble. The awards from the CSO include a monetary grant that will go toward music education endeavors. The awards will be presented during an April 10 brunch celebration.

Children suffering severe burns need care from team of doctors Burn injuries can be physically harmful and emotionally challenging. For severe burns, the recovery process can be both long and painful. Fortunately, there are many options and treatments available to help. Children who suffer burn injuries may face two stages of surgical intervention. The first is to assist with the initial healing of the burn and the second is to provide for long-term restoration of both form and function. Many burns heal without the need for surgical intervention. If the burns are deep enough, however, healing cannot take place, and skin grafting is necessary. This process involves the surgical transplantation of thin sheets of skin from an uninjured part of the body (usually the buttocks or thighs) to the burned area. Skin is removed from an uninjured part of the body using a special surgical instrument called a dermatome. The site from which the skin is taken is called the donor site. The burned skin is removed and the injured area is resurfaced with the skin graft. It may be held in place with skin glue, stitches or skin staples. With time, the transplanted skin heals and replaces that which was destroyed by the burn. It typically takes seven to 10 days for the skin grafts to heal. Grafted skin, however, always has an abnormal, scarred appearance. In the long term, plastic surgery may be needed in order to reconstruct damaged structures,

Page B7

such as the lips, nose, ears and hands. Plastic surgery may also be performed in order to improve the appearance of scars and to release tight scar bands (called contractures) that interfere with the motion of the underlying RICHARD joints. In many cases, rehabilitaKIRSCHNER tion following burn injury requires the work of several professionals (pediatric surgeon, plastic surgeon, physical and occupational therapists and nurses) working as a team. The Burn Program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital also includes dieticians, social workers, therapeutic recreational therapists, massage therapists and psychologists. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery provides comprehensive care for all pediatric plastic surgical problems, including reconstructive surgery following burn injury. With the support of family, friends, a specialized teams of surgeons, physicians and therapists, patients can expect to recover from this experience and live normal, healthy lives.

Talita’s legend is alive and well in Grove City “The food hasn’t changed a bit,” yelled a lady from the middle of a long dining room to its front counter. “Nope, that’s the only way I know how to make it,” replied a grinning Frank Prince, the longtime proprietor and head cook at the Grove City Talita’s. What can you say about Talita’s? Love it or hate it — and most people I know have a soft spot for it — you cannot deny it’s evocative of a Columbus that barely exists any more. Because when the first Talita’s opened in town back in the ’60s, it truly was a pioneering Mexican-ish restaurant. So when the last Talita’s in Columbus closed a few years ago, it really did signal the end of an era. Now if you want a taste of Talita’s “authentic Brownsville-style Tex-Mex cuisine” you have to get yourself to Grove City. But you’ll be getting more than just Talita’s “famous” food. Operational for about 14 years, the Grove City Talita’s is a unique-looking place. Cluttered wall-to-wall with Mexi-

by G.A. Benton kitsch plus shrines to the Buckeyes and, especially, the military, it looks more like a VFW hall than a restaurant. So there are military Ken and Barbie dolls, fields of flags, a “Sands of Iwo Jima” movie poster and a long rack of every U.S. military uniform you could possibly think of. And believe me, I’m only scratching the surface here. Foodwise, a friend once succinctly summed up Talita’s general approach to assembling menu items as “the threepot theory.” In one pot is seasoned ground beef; in another, refried beans; the third holds a paprika-powered enchilada sauce. Now just add cheese and/or onions and/or some sort of tortilla and bingo! there’s most of the menu. Of course you’ve gotta start off with that beloved Talita’s classic, the Corn

surprisingly, and probably nostalgically, satisfying. Ditto for Talita’s Tex-Mex Chili with Cheese ($2.85) — a rib-sticking hybrid of refried beans and zingy chili. I also enjoyed the simplicity of the Avocado Dip with Chips ($5.45). Not By Daniel Sohner/ThisWeek quite guacamole, it’s barely smashed avocado with salt, onion and lime. Two chicken enchiladas with beans My favorite entrees were actually and rice and a corn nacho with ones that veered away from ground jalapeños at Talita’s. beef — like the Two Chicken EnchiNacho ($1). It’s just a crispy fried tor- ladas with Beans and Rice ($8.45). I tilla with a blanket of melted cheddar thought the pulled, stewy poultry worked cheese plus pickled jalapenos, but it’s nicely with Talita’s enchilada sauce. As

for the sides — the refried beans were super heavy and the oregano and tomato-flavored rice was kinda gummy. I’d also recommend the Shredded Beef Taster Dinner ($9). It uses good, juicy and homey pot roast in the usual Talita’s ways. There’s also an “Italian menu” you must ask for if you want it. From that document, I’d go with the Baked Pasta Dinner ($10) — thin spaghetti, meatballs (good, tender), sausage (fennelseeded) and red sauce (rich, longcooked) topped with melted provolone. As I left with most of that giant combo in tow, Frank Prince — who doesn’t know me — said goodbye like I was a cherished old friend. I suppose that’s the only way he knows how to do it. To read G.A. Benton’s blog, visit ColumbusDiningGuide.com

Matt the Miller’s latest addition to Grandview Avenue Undaunted by an uncertain economy, Craig Barnum has chosen the crowded Grandview Avenue market as the location for his new restaurant. Matt the Miller’s, a casual brand he wants to expand regionally, opens March 28 in a new building along the popular commercial corridor. Barnum’s restaurant is part of a new mixed-use development that replaces a building badly damaged by a fire in 2009.

He said the menu is identical to the original Matt the Miller’s, which opened in October 2008 in Dublin. The floor plan is slightly smaller — 500 square feet smaller than the 5,000-square-foot Dublin space — and there are a few different design elements, such as retractable windows in the bar area and a semi-open kitchen. But he didn’t hold back on furnishings,

he said, from the artisan light fixtures and booths, plush carpeting, stone accents and custom-made beer towers. The goal is to create a laid-back environment that appeals to a wide range of diners. Entrees are generally priced between $15 and $28, with certified Angus steaks accounting for the more expensive dishes. There will be numerous styles of flatbreads, which are among the more popular choices in Dublin. The place will offer 26 beers, mostly micro-brews, on tap, and about 75 wines from around the globe. Brian McCafferty, the chef in Dublin, will move to the new location, 1400 Grandview Ave. Grandview Avenue is home to several high-profile restaurants, including Z Cucina, Spagio and Shoku, not to mention Third & Hollywood, which is right around the corner. Plus, there are a number of casual spots — such as Mazah, Aladdin’s Eatery, Grandview Café, Figlio and Vino Vino — in a relatively short stretch of roadway. So in short, there’s no shortage of places to eat. Barnum said restaurants build off of each other, creatBy Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek ing a solid reputation for the destination district.

Zoo news Zoo to celebrate elephant birthday March 27 The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium will hold a second birthday bash for Beco March 27. The baby Asian elephant was born on March 27, 2009, and the zoo will celebrate with free cake, games and activities from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Beco will receive a gift from his keepers, and Manny Manatee and Polly Polar Bear will be on hand to celebrate. Visitors will also get a chance to play trivia, pachyderm putt-putt and other activities. “Beco’s Big Year” author Linda Stanek and “Frenemies” author John Becker will also be in attendance to sign books.

Young gorilla Misha dies at zoo Less than two months after the death of 46-yearold western lowland gorilla Lulu, 1-year-old gorilla Misha died at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium on March 17. The young gorilla, who was relocated to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium to participate in the surrogacy program, began exhibiting flu-like symptoms on March 3, a news release from the zoo reported.

Misha received treatment, but her condition worsened and she was put in intensive care at the zoo’s Animal Health Center for a week. On March 16, during exploratory surgery, a perforated bowel was discovered and repaired. Despite the surgery, Misha died several hours later. The results of an autopsy will not be ready for several weeks, but an intestinal infection is the likely culprit of the death, the release said. “Misha was a fighter supported by a team of animal care experts, health professionals, and zoo supporters who were all pulling for her to conquer all of the challenges life threw at her,” said Dale Schmidt, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium president and CEO, in the release. “She won the hearts of everyone who heard her story and our hearts are broken by her loss.” Misha was relocated to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium after she lost part of her leg during an incident with her gorilla family as a two-month-old. The zoo has a surrogacy program and Misha entered the program when she came to Columbus last May. Misha was again injured in August when her leg got stuck in a climbing structure and her surrogate mother Pongi tried to remove her from the structure. Misha healed and was returned to her gorilla family in October. There are now 15 gorillas at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Irish seeking third straight OCC title By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Dublin Scioto High School baseball team isn’t as experienced as it was a year ago when it won its second consecutive OCC-Cardinal Division title. The good news is that the Irish, who finished 17-9 overall following a 5-3 loss to New Albany in the second round of the Division I district tournament, have nine seniors. “We’ll be a mature club,” said firstyear coach Patrick Elias, who takes over the program from Scott Marple. “A lot of experience is gone. All of the (seven) kids we graduated were multi-year players, and I think four of them were fouryear kids. “That being said, we have five starters (back and) and some other kids who played. Age-wise, we’re probably as old as anyone. “

Several of the veterans can be found in a junior class featuring Tyler Flaherty, Kris Simonton and Austin Mooney, who are expected to form the heart of the batting order. Flaherty is moving from third base to shortstop, Simonton plays second base and Mooney is the catcher. Simonton returns as one of the top starting pitchers in a rotation also expects to include Mooney and senior infielder Josh Nelson. Simonton was a starter in several OCC-Cardinal games last year as the Irish went 10-4 to share the league title with Dublin Jerome and Olentangy Liberty. Westerville South finished fourth in the league at 8-6, followed by Marysville (7-7), Westerville North (5-9), Westerville Central (4-10) and Olentangy (212). “We’ve never won three (consecutive

Coffman hoping talent pays off By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

McMahon (1B/DH), Tim Noe (OF/C/1B) and Michael Parente (C/DH/1B) and juniors Chase Compton (2B/SS/P) and Aaron Huesman (1B/P/OF). “We feel like we’re the best team in the OCC-Cardinal, and we should win it,” said Noe, who batted .313 last season and made second-team all-league. “After that, we’ll be looking toward the tournament and make a deep run there. We’ve all been there before and we all know how it’s done and what we need to do to win. So if we come together as unit and play to our capability, we’ll probably do real well.” Martin, who hit .342 last sea-

With three Division I college recruits and nine returning starters in his lineup, Dublin Coffman High School baseball coach Tim Saunders said he never has had such a talented group of players at his disposal, including the 2001 season when the Shamrocks won the Division I state championship. However, Saunders said his squad’s work ethic will need to match its skill level in order for it to develop into a championship team. “We’ve been fortunate to have a lot of great players come through here, but on paper, this is the best team we’ve ever had,” said Saunders, now in his 24th season with the Shamrocks. “But we can’t go bragging about this team too quick, because we still have to prove that we can go out and perform to our potential on a consistent basis. We know that teams will play twice as hard when they play us, so we need to match our opponents’efforts. The big question mark is if we can get ourselves up to play our best every game. If we do that, we’ll be one of the best teams in the state. If not, we’ll just be a good team, but not a great team.” Coffman, which opens Monday, March 28, at Grove City, finished 18-12 overall last season after losing to second-seeded Dublin Jerome 1-0 in a district semifinal. The returning starters from a year ago are seniors Austin Cousino (CF), Matt Davis (3B), Matt DiThomas (RF/2B), Adam Hall (P), Ryan Leffel (SS), Thomas Ludwig (1B), Steven Panchyshyn (C) and Jacob Plecki (LF), and junior Clayton Vranic (CF/RF). Cousino, who missed all but two games last season while recovering from a torn left labrum, has signed with Kentucky. Leffel, who batted .348 with two home runs and 12 RBI a year

District-final loss motivating Celtics By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Dublin Jerome High School baseball team is preparing for what it hopes will be another successful season. The Celtics, who open Tuesday, March 29, at home against Twinsburg, are looking to erase the bitter memories of a 10-1 loss to New Albany in a Division I district final last season. Jerome finished 22-8 overall and 10-4 in the OCC-Cardinal Division, sharing the league title with Dublin Scioto and Olentangy Liberty. Westerville South was fourth in the league at 8-6, followed by Marysville (7-7), Westerville North (5-9), Wester-

ThisWeek’s 2010-11 Super 12 GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM The Captain

Nubians senior gets top billing By JARROD ULREY

About the players…

TAYLOR AGLER Olentangy Orange

So.

Olentangy Orange’s run to a Division I district final largely was because of its ability to score inside and outside. Agler, a sophomore point guard, played a vital role in connecting those facets of the Pioneers’ attack. The 5-7 Agler averaged 8.2 points and 7.3 assists and made 25 of 65 3-point attempts (38 percent). She was honorable mention all-district and first-team all-OCC-Capital Division. “Taylor has really grown into that point-guard role,” said coach Mary Ann Grimes, whose team won the OCC-Capital at 13-1 and ended the season 21-3 after losing to Pickerington North 46-39 in a district final. “We try to get everyone involved in scoring and she led the team in assists and steals (3.5 a game). I’m sure that affected her numbers as far as scoring goes, but she’s been a big part of our success.”

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Raven Ferguson feels like she has been playing on the Africentric Early College girls basketball team “her whole life.” Opponents probably feel the same about the senior standout and captain of the ThisWeek Super 12 girls basketball team. After becoming a starter as a freshman, Ferguson helped the Nubians go 89-15 overall, 56-0 against City LeagueSouth Division opponents and win four district championships. Raven Ferguson This season, Ferguson was the Division III district Player of the Year while leading Africentric to a regional runner-up finish. “It will be weird to go to the games next year, but it’s just time for me to move on to bigger things,” Ferguson said. Next season, she’ll be a freshman at Ohio State. “Africentric has made me a lot more confident off the court and on the court,” she said. “I’ll be going in to try to play, and I think I’ll have a chance to start. (Africentric) coach (Will) McKinney always says that defense is about pride. He always tells us that at the next level, that’s how you get on the court. I’m still trying to improve and be better.” In her freshman season, the Nubians went 25-2 and lost in the Division IV state final. In 2008-09, they went 23-4 and won the state title as Ferguson made Super 12 honorable mention. A year ago, Africentric moved up to Division III and lost in a regional semifinal to finish 19-6. Ferguson made first-team all-district and Super 12 as she averaged 23 points, six rebounds, 3.5 assists and four steals. This season, the Nubians beat Northland 60-52 on Feb. 12 for their third City title in four years and Columbus School for Girls 74-45 on March 5 for a district title. Africentric’s season ended with a 56-50 loss to Fort Recovery in a regional final March 12. Africentric went 22-3 as Ferguson averaged 19 points, eight rebounds and three assists. She also was selected first-team allstate and was the state’s Co-Player of the Year with Ally Malott of Middletown Madison. She scored 1,739 career points. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

So.

Cooper, a 6-0 sophomore post player, has started every game for Reynoldsburg the past two seasons. She has helped the Raiders win one regional and two district championships while compiling a 44-8 record that included 14-0 in the OCC-Ohio Division this season. Cooper averaged 9.1 points, a team-high 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks this season. She shot a team-high 49.4 percent from the field and scored in double figures 12 times despite sitting out the fourth quarter of several blowout wins. “Destini is a terrific defender and has steadily improved her low-post offensive game,” coach Jack Purtell said. “She is very unselfish and rebounds with authority. ‘D’ is a tireless worker and leads by example.” Cooper was first-team all-league and second-team all-district.

The Bearcats went 69-21 the past four seasons, a span that included back-to-back Division I district runner-up finishes the last two seasons — and the one constant has been this 5-9 senior guard. Franklin made first-team all-district and special mention all-state as she helped Brookhaven succeed despite losing a pair of Division I recruits by midseason. An Indiana State signee, Franklin averaged 9.2 points, five rebounds and three assists as the Bearcats went 16-6. Franklin also made the Super 12 as a junior and will play in the North-South All-Star game April 17 at Capital University. “Travecia was the main reason we were able to do what we did in the tournament,” coach Reggie Lee said. “Vici’s never been a numbers person, but defense, rebounding and being unselfish have always been her real worth.”

Northland

Although her collegiate future is in softball after she signed last November to play for Miami University, Marshall was the driving force behind another long tournament run for the Lions this season. A third-team all-district and first-team allOCC-Ohio selection, Marshall averaged 13.1 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals as Gahanna went 17-7 and was a Division I district runner-up. A varsity regular since her freshman season, the 5-9 senior guard helped the Lions advance to a district semifinal in her first two seasons before they captured a district championship in her junior season. “She got better offensively and defensively,” coach Rick Hauser said. “I thought she was real unselfish this year, too. Defensively she’s kind of a spark plug.”

Piper, a 5-11 senior guard, has secured her place among the top players in the history of the Big Walnut program. A four-year starter, she finished her career with 975 points, ranking fifth on the Golden Eagles' all-time scoring list. This season, Piper averaged 13.3 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists to lead her team in each category. She also led the team with 40 steals and 25 blocks and was named OCC-Capital Player of the Year and second-team all-district in Division II. “She knew the game pretty well coming in as a freshman,” coach Bob Scott said. “No. 1, she understood what it takes to be successful. She's a very unselfish player who is good at setting up other players to score. She has a good awareness of what is going on on the court. She sees the court well.” Piper plans to play basketball and volleyball at Otterbein.

Past Captains

Brookhaven

Edwards, who averaged 21 points and 12 rebounds, left her mark while leading the Panthers to the Division I state tournament. The 6-0 senior post player set singlegame school records for rebounds (21) and steals (eight), the latter of which points to her overall improvement. “She’s been phenomenal, especially down the stretch here for us as we made a run,” coach Dave Butcher said. “She’s one of the better athletes I’ve coached.” Edwards, who also averaged three assists, has signed to play at Villanova. Central Ohio’s only first-team all-state selection in Division I, she was voted district Player of the Year and also earned that honor in the OCC-Ohio Division. Edwards was North’s leading scorer in 18 of 27 games.

Gahanna

Africentric’s Raven Ferguson averaged 19 points and eight rebounds in earning Super 12 captain honors.

After making honorable mention all-district as a freshman, this 5-6 sophomore guard continued to assert herself as one of central Ohio’s top talents while making first-team all-district in Division I. Revered for her defense, Peterson averaged 13.9 points, four rebounds and 4.5 assists to help Northland go 21-2 and win its second City League-North Division title in three seasons. Peterson scored 20 points as Northland beat Gahanna 51-35 on March 5 to win its first district title since 1983. She made third-team all-state. “I thought Alexis Peterson did a great job (defensively during a 58-46 win over Dublin Coffman in a district semifinal Feb. 28), and I thought that was the key to the basketball game,” coach Dean Washington said. “There’s no one who’s more competitive than her.”

ALIYAH ZANTT G

Reynoldsburg

Stranges was a model of consistency for Dublin Coffman this season, scoring between 11 and 21 points in the first 17 games. The 6-foot-1 left-handed center then missed a game with a broken nose, but she promptly returned to help Coffman go 16-7 and reach a Division I district semifinal. A four-year varsity player, she averaged a team-high 15.6 points and 8.1 rebounds while shooting 50 percent from the field and a school-record 85 percent at the foul line. She was first-team all-OCC-Central Division and all-district and special mention allstate. “She is a really, really smart player,” coach Bryan Patton said. “Her basketball IQ is tremendous. You tell her something and it’s ingrained. She rarely makes a mental mistake.” Stranges will play volleyball at Southeast Missouri State.

Jr.

Despite coming off the bench in all but one game, Zantt led the Raiders in scoring 14 times. The 5-6 junior guard averaged 13.1 points for the season and 17.6 points in five postseason games as the Raiders went 23-2 and won their second consecutive Division I district title. “Aliyah has been one of our best surprises and best kept secrets until the second half of the season,” coach Jack Purtell said. “She plays with a lot of confidence and can really score in bunches. She’s our leading scorer and, with the improvement she’s made on the defensive end, has become a complete player. She has a great attitude and loves basketball.” Zantt scored a season-high 26 points in a 58-39 district semifinal win over Hilliard Davidson on March 2. Zantt was first-team all-league and second-team all-district.

This 5-9 junior guard blossomed into one of the district’s best players, and the Vikings flourished because of it. A third-team all-district selection in Division I, Denham averaged 13.8 points and four assists while shooting 49 percent from 3-point range as Northland won its first district title since 1983. Denham made four 3-pointers and scored 28 points as the Vikings beat Brookhaven 67-48 on Feb. 4 to help seal their second City League-North title in three seasons. She has a scholarship offer to play for Kansas and also has received interest from Akron, Kent State, Michigan and Toledo, among others. “She scored 28 in the second game against Brookhaven and she had 16 (in a 58-46 win over Dublin Coffman in a district semifinal Feb. 28),” coach Dean Washington said. “She’s been pretty consistent the whole year.”

Jacob Plecki, one of nine returning starters for Coffman, hit .314 with 11 RBI last season.

Coffman finished sixth in the OCC-Central Division at 7-7, behind Worthington Kilbourne (122), Upper Arlington (11-3), Hilliard Darby (8-6), Hilliard Davidson (8-6) and Thomas Worthington (8-6), and ahead of Central Crossing (2-12) and Westland (0-14). The eighth-seeded Shamrocks opened the district tournament with an 11-0 win over Brookhaven and then beat Newark 5-4 in the second round before

losing to Jerome. “We always shoot for winning our league, 20 wins and winning our district,” Saunders said. “But with the type of team we have, we’re aiming to win our league, have 20-plus wins and to at least win our regional.

OCC) titles, so that’s a big thing with this team,” said Simonton, whose team opens Monday, March 28, at home against Franklin Heights. Offensively, senior outfielder Christian Stamets might be the leadoff batter. In center field, classmate Chase Thompson is replacing graduate Nick Gastaldo, who missed the second half of last season after suffering a broken jaw as Scioto started 9-1. Senior Nick Keeley likely will be at third base. Elias said he might use as many as 19 players early and that versatility is a must. “I’m even catching a little,” Simonton said with a laugh. “It’s the first time since (the) summer of my freshman year, but I like it. It’s something different.” The other seniors are Tom Ansley, Sam Ehret, Zach Gerrash, Jacob Nau and Dom Rosso. Junior Phil Parrott is expected to be in the pitching rotation, too. The schedule has been revised this year so that teams play other league members in consecutive games usually spread two or three days apart. Previously, teams played every league member once before running through the schedule a second time. “That bodes well for teams like

Celtics eager to defend title By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Other than meeting in their annual competition for the Emerald Cup, Dublin’s three high school boys lacrosse teams had few similarities a year ago. Jerome and Scioto each dropped from Division I to Division II because of the OHSLA’s decision to determine divisional alignment based on enrollment, and the Celtics won the state championship while the Irish ended up with just one win on the season. Coffman remained in Division I and took a small step forward after a losing season in 2009. The biggest thing the three schools have in common heading into this season is that each features talented groups of younger players. Last season, Jerome defeated Scioto 15-2 and Coffman 15-14 to capture its sixth consecutive Emerald Cup. The Celtics will play host to the Irish on May 9 and play May 14 at the Shamrocks. Scioto will play host to Coffman

on May 2. In OCC-Buckeye Division play last year, Upper Arlington was first at 5-1, ahead of Jerome, Hilliard Davidson and Worthington Kilbourne (4-2), Coffman and Thomas Worthington (2-4) and Scioto (0-6). •Jerome was expected to contend for the state title last season after previously being one of the state’s best in Division I. It had little trouble beating Bexley (16-3), DeSales (15-2), Granville (14-0), Cincinnati Mariemont (12-4) and Hunting Valley University School (146) to win the state title on its home field. The program’s only other state championship came when it won Division 1-B in 2005. The Celtics are led by a pair of senior captains who have signed to play collegiately in close defenseman John Horner (Towson) and attacker Leo Horine (Quinnipiac). Horner should be joined on defense by juniors Austin Duncan, Wes Faulkenberry and Chris Kendall. Faulkenberry is a long-stick midfielder who has ver-

goals). Ruhl is playing for Johns Hopkins and DelPrince and Sims are at Wheeling Jesuit. Ruhl played in the Under Armour All-American game last July after finishing as Jerome’s all-time leader in goals (185) and points (240). Horine finished with 56 goals, 24 assists and 66 ground balls. He will be joined at attacker by senior Connor McGann, junior Drake Powers, sophomore Tommy Parizek and Michael Bano, the only freshman on the team. Juniors Joe Bano (83 ground balls), Christian Beith (43 ground balls) and Nick Neale all will be at midfielder. Senior Nick Simonetti will be the goalkeeper. “We lost a lot of players, but with the By Laurie Stevenson/ThisWeek type of success we had last year, we have Senior Ryan Borcherding (right) is back in the midfield for the Shamrocks, who a bull’s eye on our backs,” said A.J.

Positive attitude to play key role for Irish By KURTIS ADAMS

Schedule

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Laurie Stevenson/ThisWeek

Junior Paige Heasley will pitch and play first base for the Irish, who finished 10-16 last season.

Dublin Scioto High School softball coach Greg Menssen isn’t having any trouble identifying one of his team’s best attributes. “It’s a very positive group,” said the second-year coach, whose team opens April 2 with a doubleheader at Upper Arlington. “We may not be as experienced as we were last year, but staying positive can take you a long way.” The Irish, who posted a fivewin improvement over 2009 by finishing 10-16 overall a year ago, graduated only two players. Several others opted not to return for various reasons, however. Still, Scioto has a veteran look in the pitcher’s circle behind junior Paige Heasley and sophomore Mackenzie Nelson, who also plays shortstop and was the team’s top hitter last year. Heasley, who brings power to the lineup, will play first base when not pitching. “They complement each other very well,” Menssen said. “Paige, who’s one of our best hitters, is more of a pure power pitcher. Mackenzie can really place the ball and probably has a little more variety of pitches to choose from. She came in last year and looked very polished for a first-year varsity player.” The outfield is anchored by senior Paige Waugh, who hits lefthanded, and junior Katie Devantier, who was the leadoff hitter last year. The other senior is Sarah Griggs, who returns to play third base. “We’re kind of young now, and we won’t have a (junior varsity) team again after we made cuts to get down to 16 kids,” Menssen

said. “We’ve played two teams before with only 20 kids, but that’s tough. If someone gets hurt you have to tell everyone else we don’t have enough to have a team.” Junior Katie Pezzot takes over as catcher. She caught Heasley as a seventh-grader when Menssen was coaching at that level. Several injuries, including one to junior Courtney Connor, have Menssen still trying to decide on his middle infielders. Sophomore Marie Storey is one option, but she’s likely to be in the outfield where Menssen prefers to play his fastest runners. Junior Allie Willman is another candidate.

Others to look for include sophomore Haley Jeffers and freshman Andrea Smith. Some of the other freshmen might get an opportunity as well, Menssen said. The Irish went 5-9 in the OCCCardinal Division a year ago to tie Westerville South for sixth, behind co-champions Marysville and Olentangy Liberty (11-3 each), Westerville Central (10-4), Westerville North (7-7) and Olentangy (6-8), and ahead of Dublin Jerome (1-13). Nelson, who Menssen said led the league in strikeouts a year ago, made first-team all-league. “We graduated quite a bit in our division,” said Menssen, whose team lost to Westland 4-0 in eight innings in the first round of the Division I district tournament last season. “Marysville had 12 seniors last year and switched coaches. I think Westerville Central’s pretty strong, but the league is really a toss-up. It’s probably down some as a whole. Being young like we are, that’s a good thing.” kadams@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

’Rocks to showcase aggressiveness By AARON BLANKENSHIP

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Senior center-fielder Rachel DeRosa is one of nine returning starters. She hit .358 with 21 runs scored last season.

Dublin Coffman High School softball coach Kevin Finan is optimistic about the 2011 season because of the fact that his team returns nine starters from a year ago, including four who are third-year starters. The fifth-year coach also is excited about his squad’s improved speed on the base paths. “We’ve got eight seniors, and this team is much more mature, stronger and faster than it was last year in addition to that extra year of experience the girls have,” said Finan, whose team finished 1017 overall last season. “A year makes a huge difference when you’re talking about high school kids, and we’re way ahead of where we were at this point last year. The most exciting thing about this team is it is very fast. I like to be aggressive with the way I coach, and if we can get our girls on base, they’ve got the speed to cause problems for other teams in terms of things like stealing bases, bunting and taking extra bases.” The returning starters are seniors Stacy Axner (SS), Kimmi Bussell (1B), Linda Cardozo (P), Jen Carney (DP), Rachel DeRosa (CF), Meghan Glynn (2B), Cassi Ladina (3B) and Georgi McNutt (LF) and junior Kayla Whitehouse (RF). Newcomers who are pushing the starters for playing time are junior infielders Courtney Colles, Lauren Tillman and Maggie Wat-

son, junior pitcher/third baseman Alex Meisner-Rathbun, sophomore outfielders Emily Barber and Meredith Mockler, and freshman infielder Kellen Hickle. Leading Coffman in hitting last season were DeRosa (.358, 8 RBI, 21 runs), McNutt (.347), Ladina (.309, 9 RBI, 13 runs), Carney (.307, 11 RBI, 10 runs) and Glynn (.273). In the circle, Cardozo was 7-11 with a 3.19 ERA. “It feels like we’re ready to have our best year because we’ve got a huge amount of talent,” Glynn said. “We have eight seniors who know how to play together and we all know each other’s games, so we’re progressing so much quicker and faster than most years.” Coffman, which opens Monday, March 28, with an OCC-Central Division game at home against Thomas Worthington, got off to a 7-7 start last season, including a 7-0 win at Hilliard Davidson, which was ranked fifth in the Division I state poll at the time.

Coffman, which finished with a .251 team batting average and an .858 team fielding percentage, then lost to Kilbourne 11-9 in the first round of the Division I district tournament. “In the OCC, Davidson is always good and Central Crossing looks like they’re going to be real good, too,” Finan said. “I think we should be a lot more competitive in the OCC because of the progress our girls have made during the offseason.

JEROME Continued from page D1 son, and Couche, who batted .328, both made special mention all-league a year ago. Aaron Huesman, the coach’s son, batted .323 and was 4-0 on the mound with a 1.91 ERA and made honorable mention allleague. “Not many guys can say that they coach their son in high school baseball, and I just feel very fortunate about that,” said coach Huesman, the OCC-Cardinal Coach of the

Year last season. Coach Huesman also expects contributions on the mound from junior Jake Arvia (P/1B), and sophomores Jason Johnson (P/1B) and Masashi Sakamoto (P/INF/OF). Sakamoto is a move-in from Alabama. Coach Huesman said his team’s success depends on its pitching staff. “Our pitching has to come through,” he said. “We will be solid defensively and we will be solid hitting the baseball. We have to come together and have a total team effort

on the mound. Right now, nobody is stepping up as the bona fide ace of the team, but we have pitching-by-committee and we’ll throw a quality guy out there every single time.” Coach Huesman said he expects another tight race in the OCC-Cardinal, with his team and Marysville possibly emerging as the front-runners. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Celtics looking to rebound from 2010 By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With 10 returnees and an increased number of girls in the program, Dublin Jerome High School softball coach Sarah Looker is confident her team can improve on its 3-21 record from a year ago. The Celtics finished eighth in the OCC-Cardinal Division last season at 1-13, behind co-champions Marysville and Olentangy Liberty (11-3) as well as Westerville Central (10-4), Westerville North (7-7), Olentangy (68), Dublin Scioto (5-9) and Westerville South (5-9). Jerome opened the Division I district tournament last year with an 8-1 win over Watkins Memorial before losing to topseeded Grove City 9-0 in the sec-

ond round. The Celtics’ other wins came against North (4-3) and Whetstone (8-0). Jerome’s lone loss to graduation was catcher Kate Dyas, a four-year varsity player. A lack of participation forced the elimination of the junior varsity last season. With 24 girls in the program this year, the Celtics are fielding a j.v. team this spring. “We are so excited about having a j.v. team,” said Looker, who is in her third season with the Celtics. “The incoming freshmen are so excited, and the team chemistry is at its peak right now. That’s the key to getting this program back on its feet again.” Jerome has three seniors in Elizabeth Harrington (C), Elle Smith (INF) and Katie Vaughn

(1B), but only Smith, a four-year varsity player, has varsity experience. “This is our best shot for a strong season,” Smith said. “It’s the best talent that I’ve seen in a while. We’re going to be pretty strong this year, and I’m hoping to finish out with a lot of wins.” Junior Kelsey Ciminillo handled much of the pitching duties last year and is expected to be a key contributor in the circle again this year. Freshman pitcher Abby Haab also is expected to see time in the circle. “We’re going to share a lot of time with Kelsey and Abby,” Looker said. “They both bring a lot pitching-wise to us, so we’re going to utilize them.”

Metal bat Series scheduled for July

Midwestern Force Lacrosse, a girls travel club, is registering players for its summer season that begins June 1. Players are divided into three age groups: elementary (grades 1-5), middle school (grades 5-7) and high school (grades 8-11). For registration information, visit www.MidwesternForceLacrosse.com. Informational meetings also will be held April 16-17 in Columbus. Email

LACROSSE Continued from page D3 fensively itâ€™s nice to have (Horine). He definitely brings a great skill set, and Iâ€™m pretty happy with what we have in our pipeline.â€? A year ago, Jerome qualified for the Midwest Scholastic Lacrosse Coaches Association A bracket but lost to Bloomfield Hills (Mich.) Brother Rice 14-7 and UA 11-10 in Hudson. The Celtics also lost to the Golden Bears 13-8 last April. In addition to competing in the OCC-Buckeye and MSLCA, Jerome has added a regular-season game April 12 at home against Hudson Western Reserve Academy. â€œWeâ€™ve got probably the most difficult schedule that weâ€™ve ever had,â€? Auld said. â€œI know there are definitely some high-quality teams in Division II this year.â€? â€˘By going 12-7 overall a year ago, Coffman improved by three victories under first-year coach Mark Forsythe. With a large group of players who helped the junior varsity find success a year ago, the Shamrocks are hoping for a longer stay in the Division I state tournament. After beating Thomas Worthington 82 during the regular season, Coffman lost to the Cardinals 7-6 in a first-round Central Region game. â€œItâ€™s early, but weâ€™ve seen some good stuff,â€? Forsythe said. â€œWeâ€™re looking at having about 17 or 18 players with experience back. I think we should be pretty competitive again.â€?

Schedules Seniors Jerrod Bierbower and Ryan Borcherding are captains who should combine with junior Mitch Richert to give Coffman a strong midfield. Juniors Zack Abbruzzese and Jordan Smith and sophomores Gunner Gruehl and Brent Whitehead are others who should see time at midfielder. Juniors Nate Fister and Dan Zack have been competing at goalkeeper. Expected to play defense are juniors Scott Fannin and Tyler Mack and sophomore Patrick Ruz. Junior Alex Chin will start at one attacker spot, while several others competed for playing time during the preseason. â€œWeâ€™re very well-balanced,â€? Forsythe said. â€œWeâ€™ll start more juniors than seniors, and probably even more sophomores than seniors. We have a nice balance in the classes, which is a good thing for any program to be competitive.â€? â€˘Scioto is hoping to bounce back from its worst season as a program. The Irish earned its only win under first-year coach Brian Zuercher over Pittsburgh Franklin Regional 10-9 in overtime in the first round of the MSLCA D bracket tournament. They lost to Olentangy 13-10 in the play-in round of the Division II tournament to finish 1-18 after going 811 in 2009. Senior Marcus Rossetter (longstick midfielder) is back to lead a defense that also should include juniors Roco Duco and Tyler

Smoot. Seniors Tyler Joseph (attacker), Paul Tela (midfielder) and Sean Thum (midfielder) are captains. Senior Steven Richardson is competing at goalkeeper. According to Zuercher, the program has received a boost in its coaching staff with the additions of Chuck Graves and Alex Rose. Graves is a 2002 Scioto graduate who played under former coach Bob Scott and Rose was an assistant when the Irish won the 2003 Division I state title.

Zuercher said. â€œWe had a tough year last year, and weâ€™re just trying to get things reorganized, but we feel good about this year. A lot of the guys who played j.v. last year are now starters. Weâ€™ll still be small and will have to work hard to beat teams, but we expect to be competitive.â€?

Asset allocation is an investment strategy aimed at balancing the risk and reward potential of an individualâ€™s portfolio. This is generally accomplished by taking into account the individualâ€™s personal goals as well as tolerance of risk. Traditionally, stocks, bonds, and money market securities are components of a total investment portfolio. This diversification method is both effective and organized. Each individualâ€™s ideal allocation schedule is unique. It is generally suggested by financial experts that the careful allocation of assets is critical to investors. To assist in the process, many investment companies have developed a selection of model portfolios showcasing different variations of asset allocation, with each proposed scenario reflecting varying degrees of risk tolerance. Many people are realizing that dynamic and often difficult market conditions require they seek professional advice to achieve their goals. I can evaluate your current investment plan and recommend adjustments as needed based on your age, timeline for needing the funds, and your goals for the future. A balanced portfolio can consist of a mix of IRAs, stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Are you receiving a tax refund? Consider adding those funds to your retirement nest egg.
