Insight Bank may buy old Dalt’s site City offers $75K to company, which would bring 30 employees, add 20 more By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
With the help of a $75,000 city venture grant, Insight Bank might purchase and move to offices at 140-150 W. Wilson Bridge Road. Insight is under contract to buy the building from the Worthington Square owners, who purchased the old Dalt’s
restaurant and the building next door, along with the mall, in December. Like Worthington Square owner Tom Carter, Insight president and CEO Harvey Glick is a Worthington resident. The city has worked with Glick in the past. In 1999, he and a group of former State Savings officials founded Prospect Bank, which they opened in the former Bill Knapp’s restaurant on North High
Street. The bank was sold to Sky Bank in 2006, and the building currently is a Huntington branch. Insight is on Orion Place in the Polaris area. The bank’s headquarters will be in the brick building next to the former Dalt’s, and a branch bank will be in the former restaurant. Worthington City Council on March
21 introduced an incentive package that would provide Insight with an upfront single payment of $75,000 after Insight has moved to Worthington. A public hearing before council was set for April 4. In exchange, the company will enter into a seven-year agreement bound by payroll commitments. The bank has pledged to immediate-
ly move about 30 employees to the Worthington site and to add another 20 positions over seven years. According to Worthington economic development director Jeff Harris, moving the corporate headquarters from Columbus to Worthington would greatly enhance the city’s income-tax colSee INSIGHT, page A2

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.

Make-A-Wish Foundation
Worthington girl to record song in Nashville 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 fulfill 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 Make-A-Wish representative.
Staff, parents, business leaders and community members will be asked to identify the characteristics they would like to see in the next Worthington superintendent of schools. The Educational Service Center of Central Ohio (ESC), consultants hired to lead the superintendent search, will hold a series of meetings over the next three weeks to gather input before the nationwide search is launched. Melissa Conrath, superintendent for the past five years, will retire in the fall. The Worthington Board of Education hopes to have a successor ready to start during the summer. ESC is an agency that supports school districts in Franklin, Delaware and Union counties and has assisted in administrator searches in Dublin, Granville, Olentangy and other school districts. ESC is expected to take about nine weeks to complete a four-step process. The first step will be to gather information about what kind
Unfamiliar state law prompts rush decision By CANDY BROOKS
About Riverlea
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
An obscure state law is pushing Worthington to make a quick decision on the proposed annexation of the village of Riverlea. Worthington City Council will hold a special meeting April 10 — a Sunday — to meet the deadline set by the law governing annexations. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m., when council will decide to either reject an overture by a group of Riverlea residents to annex into the city or appoint three commissioners to work with three from Riverlea to negotiate terms of an annexation. The six-member commission then would have 120 days to come to an agreement, the details of which probably would go on the ballot to be decided by the voters of Worthington and Riverlea. If the six cannot agree, a probate judge would appoint a seventh member to cast the deciding vote, but the seventh member would

not live in Worthington or Riverlea. Council members said they were feeling rushed by a state law that requires them to pass an ordinance entering into negotiations within 30 days of receiving a certified ordinance from Riverlea, declaring its intent to enter into annexation negotiations. Worthington received the letter March 11. With spring vacations slated for many Worthington council members, the only date when all could be present is April 10. City law director Mike Minister said he could not see how other communities handled the requirements of the law for one
simple reason: He could find no other instances of the 1953-approved law being used. “I’m sure there must be one, but we can’t find it,” he said. Council member Robert Schmidt said during the meeting that before he votes to move forward, he wants a better understanding of the motives of those who want Riverlea to become part of Worthington. Riverlea resident Duncan Aukland said he has talked to residents of the village, and most want the alternative to be explored. Some council members said they might prefer to reject the ordinance and instead move forward with more casual talks between representatives of Worthington and Riverlea. If an agreement then could be reached, the official channels could be followed, they said. Aukland said he would prefer the city say, “We’re going to look at it,” rather than simply reject it.

of leadership skills are most desired for the district. For residents who cannot attend one of the scheduled meetings, information is available on the district’s website at www.worthington.k12.oh.us. A staff advisory group will meet with the consultants March 24, with a parents advisory group March 29 and with a business and civic advisory group March 30. Everyone else is invited to share their input during a community advisory group meeting April 12, following spring break. It will begin at 7 p.m. in Room 101 of the Worthington Education Center, 200 E. Wilson Bridge Road. ESC representatives will run the meetings. Attendees will be asked to complete a survey and then will move into small groups to come to a consensus on what characteristics would be important in a new superintendent. After the firm understands the community’s needs, it will recruit candidates and then follow the standard process of screening, interviews and contract negotiations.
A proposed budget cut of $300,000 over two years did not come as good news to city officials, but it also would not put the city on the brink of financial disaster. According to Gov. John Kasich’s proposed biennial budget, the Local Government Fund would be cut from $665-million in the 2011 budget to $339-million in 2013, almost a 50-percent decrease. In a letter included with the state budget, Kasich wrote that the budget “closes an $8-billion structural imbalance while preserving the $800-million, two-year income-tax cut that went into effect Jan. 1. Kasich’s budget would reduce Worthington’s share of the Local Government Fund by $150,000 next year and $150,000 the following year, according to city spokesperson Anne Brown. The city’s projected generalfund revenue for 2011 is $23.6million, so the cut is relatively small.
“
It was something we expected, so we’ve already made plans.
ANNE BROWN city spokesperson
Also, city revenues overall are projected to increase over the next few years, thanks to the recent increase in the city income-tax rate from 2 percent to 2.5 percent. Voters approved the increase last spring, and it went into effect last summer. Income-tax revenues in 2009 totaled $12.6-million. In 2010, with a half year under the higher rate, revenue was $13-million. It is expected to increase to $14.7-million in 2011. The city’s share of the Local Government Fund was cut from $800,000 a year to $600,000 this year and then would be cut by an additional $300,000 over See CUTS, page A2

OBSCURE STATE LAW Continued from page A1 Riverlea is a village of 545 residents and 236 housing units west of North High Street and south of West Riverglen. It is surrounded by Worthington on three sides and the Olentangy River on the west side. A preliminary report presented March 21 by assistant city manager Robyn Stewart shows the cost for Worthington to serve Riverlea would be higher than any financial remuneration the
city would receive. New expenses to the city would be $310,070 to $610,070 a year and would include street, curb and gutter repair and replacement ($200,000-$500,000); solid-waste collection ($46,605); sanitary sewer repair and replacement ($32,350); service department maintenance ($28,615); and parks maintenance ($2,500).

Beth Tikvah team spells tricky, obscure words to win bee By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Though they aren’t magicians, the winning team employed legerdemain to win the spelling bee. Actually, the team from Congregation Beth Tikvah spelled “legerdemain,” meaning sleight of hand, to win first place in the Worthington Community Adult Spelling Bee on March 16. They coupled that correct spelling with one of “propinquity” to defeat the second-place team from Partners for Citizenship and Character (PCC) in the final round of the competition. The 18th annual bee, sponsored by Leadership Worthington, was held on the stage at Worthington Kilbourne High School. Twenty-three three-member teams competed for bragging rights and for prizes that were donated by community businesses. The bee is a fundraiser for Leadership Worthington. Abby Goldbaum, Lisa Kalson and Barbara House made up the Beth Tikvah team. “We’re thrilled,” Goldbaum said. “Last year we ended in sixth place.” The trio did not practice over the past year. Luck plays a big part in the bee, they said. Members always hope they do not have to spell some of the more difficult words. “Some of the words are insane,” House said. Taking turns, each team on the stage was given a word to spell. Pronouncer Chuck Gibson, director of Worthington Libraries, pronounced the words, gave definitions and used them in sentences. Each team was permitted one “pass.” The first round was easy, with everyday words
given to allow teams to get comfortable. Comfort ended on the second round, with words becoming more difficult and the first team going down. Worthington AM Rotary was the first team out, incorrectly misspelling “grok.” Rotary spellers Joe Hull, Karla Macrae and Mike Foley received dictionaries for their efforts. The words became even more difficult as the night wore on. Words that stumped teams included “obliviscence, querulous, scaphoid, enthymeme and foliiform.” By the fifth round, only 10 teams remained on stage. All but three went down in that round. They misspelled “lugubrious, exegete, extirpate” and a few others. In round 6, the team from BigGreenHead.com misspelled “foudroyant,” leaving the two finalists to spell it out for the championship. Holly Richard, Steve Richard and Mindy Marfurt made up the second-place PCC team and correctly spelled “joy, oxymoron, anthropomorphism and pastiche” to reach the finals. First-place prizes were $50 gift cards to Ruth’s Chris Steak House. Second-place winners received $50 bank cards/savings cards from Fifth Third, Park National or Huntington banks. Community businesses donated prizes for up through ninth place and many raffle prizes for the spellers and the audience. Radio personality Amy Donovan served as master of ceremonies. Judges were Marc Schare, president of the Worthington Board of Education; Tony Lordo, DDS, a local dentist; and Lt. Jerry Strait of the Worthington Police Department.

Spring: Time to wash and wash and wash the dog Ah, spring. Season of washing the dog every few minutes. Not that we look forward to this ritual. On the contrary, in this house, dog-bathing is roundly dreaded – by the dog, who attempts to wander casually away when he hears water running into the deep sink in the bathroom, and also by my husband and me, because we know that even a best-case scenario will leave both us and the bathroom splattered with water, coated with dog hair, and reeking of whatever that is in dog shampoo. It’s not scent, I know that. Scent is something that smells good. This smells like a night in a holding center. The one posi-
tive thing about it is how thoroughly protected against mites and fleas we all feel in the hours immediately after MARGO a bath. I feel BARTLETT downright invulnerable, and whether that’s because I’m fortified with flea-fighting agents or because no decent flea would dream of getting close to any of us and possibly picking up that odor hardly matters. The fact is, I feel healthy and sanitized and also as if my fur is thick and shiny. Which is all very well, but

if my husband and I develop even the slightest urge to go out in the yard and sniff for rabbits, we’re going to start taking the dog someplace else to be washed. That’s what my older daughter and her husband do. They drop off their dog on their way to work, and when they pick him up later, he’s clean and trim and he has a jaunty kerchief tied around his neck. Furthermore, Fritz loves the people who bathe him. Although he’s a shy dog, a dog so shy that my daughter and her husband can’t take him for a walk because if they do get him as far as the sidewalk, he’ll want to go back indoors if he sees a stranger. And I don’t mean a stranger approaching with his hand out, ready to scratch Fritz’s ears. I mean a stranger a block and a half away, a tiny, indistinct smudge that no one except this neurotic dog would even recognize as human. But I’ve drifted from my point, which is that once Fritz makes friends, he keeps them, and he is friends with his groomers. He cries with happiness when he enters the business, and apparently he can’t wait to jump into the tub to be sudsed. Our dog might learn to feel that way too, I’ve thought. He’d go eagerly off to his bath, and we’d be spared the drenching. Of course, before we can be drenched we have to find him.

That’s more acting than I can do as I follow along behind him, pretending I just want to see him up close. “Come on, Pip,” I say in wheedling tones that even I can see straight through. “Hey Buddy. Nothing bad’s going to happen.” Then, because I don’t like to lie to my dog, I feel compelled to acknowledge the truth. “You are, in fact, going to have a bath, but you don’t really mind

baths,” I say to him, or at least at him, since he’s under the bed. Even there, though, he manages to express innocent bewilderment: “I’m just lying under the bed minding my own business” he says. It’s almost enough to make me forget the bath and take him to Hollywood instead. But I can’t because, for the second (or third or fourth) time during the first few weeks of spring, he has gone outside and rubbed his neck in something so foul, so awful and stinky and horrible that one whiff of him, even outside on the porch, is enough to make me wish I owned a gas mask. If I’m both fast and lucky, I close the doors to the stairs before he can amble through them – so casually! If he were taller, he could be Clark Gable playing Mr. Butler. After that, the game is over. I carry him — turning my head away from his neck — to the
sink, plump him into the water and watch as he slowly relaxes in the warm soapiness. “You do, too, like baths,” I tell him as I lather and rinse, lather and rinse. He just sighs and leans his wet head against me. But I know the truth. Because after I’ve lifted him out of the sink, stood back for the big shake, and cleaned the bathroom within an inch of its life, I’m barely given time to dry out myself before he’s turned his neck into another unspeakable outdoor spot and the ritual begins again. Ah, spring. If any season resembles paradise more than another to a dog, it’s this one, when every smell is front and center, and the very best ones can be applied directly to the neck. At least the bathroom’s clean. And yes, I do see the irony in that. Margo Bartlett can be reached at mbartlett@thisweeknews.com.

Wakeling has been 4 Dave at this pop-music thing for 30 years. He’s been the creative force behind two of Britain’s top pop acts of the ’80s in The English Beat and General Public, which resulted in a bevy of hit songs, including Save It For Later, Mirror in the Bathroom (former) and Tenderness (latter). He still loves playing those songs, but he has no interest in a nostalgia show. Following a handful of years in which he had an on-again-off-again relationship with making music, he’s back at it full-time and enjoying the heck out of himself. “Those catalog songs, I go almost on muscle memory with them, so I’ve got way more interaction with the audience, which turns out to be what I’ve been searching for for 30 years,” Wakeling told The Beat. He also fully recognizes the pros and cons of having an extensive catalog of tunes people want to hear. “No matter what, people will be saying, ‘They’re playing our song,’” he said, chuckling. “But you also know that no matter which songs you do and which you have to leave out, you’ll have someone ask, ‘Why didn’t you do such-and-such a song?’” He’s also writing and playing new songs and has the same jovial and serious relationship with them as with the “old” songs. “You can tell when you play a new song, people don’t want to act like they don’t know it, and no one is telling,” Wakeling joked. “It’s part of the ego of writing songs to play them and see how people react,” he added in

a moment of seriousness. “I’m in the second half of my songwriting career. I’m working in more of an immediate sense -instead of making wine, I’m making brandy. That kind of naivete is charming for an old curmudgeon.” Of the heady Brit-pop ’80s which he helped dominate, Wakeling is equally thoughtful. “Everyone was incredibly pragmatic,” he said. “The anger of punk had passed, but punk had blown up all the buildings and we got to operate in the dust and smoke afterward.” The English Beat was at the forefront of the second wave or two-tone ska movement, which he said was intended as a “hybrid of the adrenaline of punk and the backbeat of reggae.” “We wanted both light and dark, to be either the first party of a brand new world or the last chance before it was all gone,” Wakeling said. “Thirty years later, not much has changed.” See? No need for a nostalgia show. ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Dave Wakeling, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.

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

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.

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 buildi n g 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 small-
er 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, creating a solid reputation for the destination district. “I like the fact there have been so many successful restaurants here,” he said. “We just want to blend in.” Local retail analyst Chris Boring agrees. “I think overall it’s a good thing,” he said. “I think when it comes to

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen AN OPEN-ENDED DISCUSSION Since their introduction, “open-fit” hearing instruments have been a huge success among wearers, who find them easy to fit and comfortable to wear. Initially, these extremely popular behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing devices were best suited to people with high-frequency hearing loss and normal low-frequency hearing. Since then, this limited capability has been addressed with the introduction of the receiver-in-the-ear (RITE) type of open-fit hearing instruments. Unlike receiver-in-the-aid (RlTA) models, the RITE houses the receiver in the ear canal. An ultra-thin wire is connected to the hearing instrument, and then coupled to the speaker in the ear canal with a soft, non-occluding ear dome. This design modification makes this type of open-fit instrument suitable for people with more severe hearing loss. When selecting a hearing instrument, three main characteristics people typically look for are a comfortable fit, low maintenance, and a user-friendly design. Patients who have cosmetic concerns frequently find the RlTE device appealing due to its near invisibility during casual contact with others. AT ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our goal is to help each patient find the best instrument to resolve his or her particular hearing issues. Please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a comprehensive hearing exam. Our office is located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

For example, a $95,000 3/1 ARM home purchase loan with 30-year amortization would have an interest rate of 3.50% for first 3 years of the loan. The 4th year interest rate would be 3.25% based on current 1-Year Constant-Maturity Treasury (CMT) Securities index of 0.27% and rate margin of 3.00%, and would be adjusted annually thereafter.

Payments shown do not include amounts for taxes and insurance. Actual payment obligation may be greater. The annual percentage rate (APR) on the loan would be 3.46% and is cost of credit over the term of the loan expressed as an annual rate. APR is subject to increase after loan closing. Interest rate, index and margin are those currently in effect. APR does not take into account additional loan specific finance charges or discount points you may be required to pay. Your final APR may also be adjusted based on factors including but not limited to, loan amount, state of property location, loan type, occupancy type, property type, property loan-to-value ratio and your credit score.

Shock: Brutally cold winter spikes outrageously high utility bill Another winter is coming to the end and once again we finish with outrageous bills that I defer through the summer because we couldn’t afford it.What can we do? - Desperate homeowner As utility costs continue to rise, the more sense it makes to have your home insulated. USA insulation can help by properly insulating your home and reducing bills substantially. “Your furnace and air conditioner will run a lot less when you have your home insulated,� said Steve Cikach of USA insulation.“In addition to saving energy and helping the environment, you will also lower your utility bills by up to 50 percent.� USA Insulation’s patented foam insulation is injected through small holes in the walls. It goes in
as foam and dries hard, creating a 4-inch shell of insulation around your home. Insulation experts say if your home was built before 1980, you may have very little, if any, insulation in your walls. If you’re weighing the options of various insulation materials, keep in mind the following facts: • USA Premium Foam insulation will not absorb moisture or settle in a wall cavity like cellulose or fiberglass. Because it will not absorb moisture, mold cannot grow on it. • It cannot burn in a fire. In fact, 4 inches of the foam insulation is rated as a two-hour fire wall • USA features a premium foam that boasts the highest R-value for sidewalls up to 5.4 per inch, which is about R-19 in wall cavity. • It is clean, dust-free and non-toxic, therefore it is safe for families and pets. • Outside noises are reduced by 50 decibels, which is important if your home is located in a high-traffic area. USA can insulate most homes in one day and do the work on the exterior whether brick, stucco,
shingles or siding.They can do this without you ever knowing they were there. The company also provides financing options to meet all budgets. The company and the product manufacturer have been around for nearly 30 years and have more than 10,000 insulation jobs to their credit. Take advantage of the new federal energy of cost up to $500.
Call USA Insulation at (614) 529-2440 or 1-888-894-1024 for a free evalution and to find out how you can save on your utility bills this winter. Visit www.usainsulation.net.

Rachel Garris will play center field, and Thomas third-year coach Tom Gianas has high expectations for the sophomore.

Third-year coach Tom Gianas is *March 28 — vs. Dublin Coffman hoping that alone will make the Car- *March 30 — vs. Central Crossing March 31 — vs. Watterson dinals better. “I think that experience is going to April 2-5 — Cal Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach, S.C. help us turn it around this season,” *April 11 — at Westland said Gianas, whose team was 14-12 April 12 — at Mount Vernon last season, including 6-8 in the OCC- *April 13 — vs. Hilliard Darby Central Division. “It’s just having that April 16 — Worthington Classic at McCord Park knowledge of how to play in those *April 18 — vs. Kilbourne one-run games.” April 19 — vs. Teays Valley The Cardinals lost six games by *April 20 — vs. Upper Arlington one run last season, including four *April 21 — vs. Hilliard Davidson *April 25 — at Davidson that were 1-0. Offensive production *April 26 — vs. Westland was an issue last year, something *April 27 — vs. Coffman April 30 — vs. Bloom-Carroll Thomas is looking to improve. It should help that the Cardinals *May 2 — vs. Darby May 3 — vs. Lakewood return senior pitcher Sally Nichols, *May 4 — vs. Central Crossing who led the team with a .346 batting *May 6 — at Kilbourne average.

She’s expected son, although Gianas said he will use to be a featured pitcher again this sea- junior Zoe Myers more often.
“I’m going to use my pitchers more in tandem this year,” Gianas said. “They’re different styles, and I’m going to use them to offset each other. It should also help keep Sally from getting worn down.” Pitching wasn’t a problem last season as the Cardinals kept most games close. The season’s most lopsided defeat came in the finale, a 13-5 loss to Pickerington Central in the second round of the Division I district tournament. Thomas is looking to turn some of those close losses into wins. “We know what to do in those situations now,” Zofchak said. “We know how to fight through it.” The Cardinals won their first six games last year on the way to a 104 start. Then the offense started to struggle and wins were harder to come by. Thomas finished fifth in the OCCCentral behind Upper Arlington (122), Central Crossing (11-3), Hilliard Davidson (10-4) and Hilliard Darby See CARDINALS, page C2

Thomas ready to display new look
Wolves eager for chase from others

The Thomas Worthington High School baseball team has been able to retain players after they enter the program as freshmen. The Cardinals had 11 seniors last season. And while that might put some programs into a rebuilding phase, Thomas simply ushered in another big senior class. “We’re an established program, and we never empty the cupboard,” 14th-year coach Stephen Gussler said. “We do a pretty good job of retaining the kids when they’re in the program. Of the nine seniors, seven of them lettered last year. They weren’t major contributors, but I feel comfortable with them getting in there.” Thomas was 17-12 overall and 8-6 in the OCC-Cardinal Division last season, which ended with a 9-8 loss to Upper Arlington in the second round of the Division I district tournament. Part of the new look is in the infield. Not all the players are new to varsity, but they are new to playing the infield on varsity. “We’ll have a completely new infield, which might worry some people, but our kids have played enough baseball last year and throughout the summer,” said Gussler, whose team opens Tuesday, March 29, at Dublin Scioto. “It will be interesting to see if we truly upgrade in those areas. We lost a lot of good players, but I think the next group is prepared.” Senior shortstop Jacob Semerar, junior first baseman David Lykens and junior second baseman Matt Zuccaro are moving to the infield from the outfield. Junior Drew Taylor and sophomores Nick Highly and Ben Miller are competing for time at third base. Senior Collin Finn returns at catcher. Semerar batted .371 last seaSee THOMAS, page C2

Alio Gasbarro returns after going 6-1 with a 1.79 ERA last season when Kilbourne finished 18-7 overall and won the OCC-Central Division at 12-2.
, Don t let your kid go to IOU.
The Worthington Kilbourne High School baseball team last won a Division I district championship in 2006 behind a high-powered offense and two dominating arms on the mound. Second-year coach Jeff Boulware can’t help but wonder if the Wolves might have that combination again this season. “Last year, we were in that underdog role and might have snuck up on some people,” said Boulware, whose team opens Tuesday, March 29, against visiting Olentangy. “With the number of guys we’ve got back this season, we’re going to have a bull’s-eye on our back and we’ll see how they can handle it.” Only four players graduated from last year’s team, which finished 18-7 overall and won the OCC-Central Division title at 122, placing ahead of Upper Arlington (11-3), Hilliard Darby (86), Hilliard Davidson (8-6), Thomas Worthington (8-6), Dublin Coffman (7-7), Central Crossing (2-12) and Westland (0-14). Kilbourne entered the district tournament as the 10th seed but lost to Westerville South 5-3 in the second round. “We’ve got a lot of talent back and a lot of depth at every position,” senior catcher Brandon Randolph said. “There are 12 of us seniors and I think we’re really coming together as a class.” Boulware believes his team has two or three players at just about every position who can contribute. Leading the lineup will be senior second baseman Will Meador, a first-team all-league and honorable mention all-district selection who batted .469 with three doubles and 17 RBI in the regular season a year ago. Senior center fielder Dan Eurich (.392, 8 doubles, 2 HR, 20 RBI), senior catcher and outfielder

Senior Zack Strayer, junior Conner Flaherty and freshman Jacob Niggemeyer are competing for playing time at first base. Seniors Cody Strayer, who has signed with Shawnee State University, and Alio Gasbarro can play third when not on the mound. During the regular season a year ago, Kilbourne averaged 7.6 runs and batted .356 as a team. “Our guys are going to have to get used to some different lineups,” Boulware said. “It will be interesting to see how our lineup produces. We’ve only lost three regulars from last season and it’ll be interesting to see who steps up and fills those roles.” The Wolves’ pitching rotation should remain solid with Strayer See KILBOURNE, page C3

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.”

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

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.

Kilbourne girls look to build on last year By PAUL BATTERSON

ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Last season, the Worthington Kilbourne High School girls lacrosse team found out just how close it is to becoming one of the top programs in central Ohio. The Wolves finished 12-5-2 overall after losing to top-seeded Upper Arlington 16-7 in a Division I South-Central regional final and went 6-1 in the OCC-Buckeye Division to place second, behind UA (7-0) and ahead of Thomas Worthington (4-2-1), Dublin Coffman (3-3-1), Hilliard Darby (3-4), Dublin Jerome (24), Hilliard Davidson (1-5) and Dublin Scioto (0-7). A league game between Davidson and Jerome was canceled. Davidson moved out of the league and has been replaced by New Albany, which was a Division I state semifinalist last year. “We turned a corner,” said 20thyear coach Doug Troutner, whose team opens Tuesday, March 29, at home against Watterson. “We won some games with teams we’ve struggled with in the past, and even in the games we lost, we played well.” The Wolves must find replacements on defense in order to achieve their fourth consecutive winning season. Of the 11 players who graduated last spring, eight were on the defense. Senior Colleen Hile is the only returnee on defense. Others expected to be key roles on defense include junior Mariah Minichello, sophomores Gabi Gonzalez and Danielle Motter and freshman Kara Hines.

Offensive diversity to bolster Thomas boys By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Thomas Worthington High School boys lacrosse team has lost much of its offensive firepower from last season, but second-year coach John Galipault believes the Cardinals will find ways to score. Among the 14 players the Cardinals lost to graduation were Eric Garris (24 goals, 8 assists), Cole Kirchner (20 goals, 4 assists) and Jake Sharick (23 goals, 34 assists). In addition, Tyler Cleveland (32 goals, 9 assists) decided not to return for his senior season. “We don’t have just one or two guys who can score,” said Galipault, whose team opened March 23 at Westerville North. “We have a lot of depth, and we’re going to attack teams from a lot of different angles.” Among the players being counted on for offense are senior attacker Ian Anderson (15 goals, 5 assists) and junior attackers Peter Vaccarella (10 goals, 7 assists) and Kyle Gratz. Key players in the midfield include seniors Ross Mauck, Zach Mills and Tommy Riemenschneider, and juniors Ryan Gabel (16 goals, 5 assists), Aron Meek, Eric Monfort (8 goals, 6 assists) and Eric Sutton (4 goals, 9 assists). Monfort has verbally committed

Junior Andrew Jones takes over as goalkeeper, replacing graduate Phil Steiner. “At this point, the preparation is more mental than physical,” Galipault said. “We have to get them to understand situations and respond to them in a positive light.” Consistency was an issue for the Cardinals last season when they finished 14-7 overall.

Winning mark is top goal for Kilbourne By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
With seven returning letterwinners and five seniors, the Worthington Kilbourne High School softball program has one of its most experienced teams in years, which is why second-year coach John Warinner can’t help but wonder about having a winning season. The Wolves finished 11-17 overall a year ago following an 11-1 loss to 11th-seeded Groveport in the second round of the Division I district tournament. Kilbourne improved on its 518 finish in 2009. “We had a lot of close games last year, and we think we can get over the .500 mark,” said Warinner, whose team opens against Tuesday, March 29, against visiting Reynoldsburg. “We were in just about every game last year, but we’d give up a key hit or make an error in the late innings. We’re emphasizing the little things this year.” A year ago, the Wolves lost four one-run games and four tworun games. They also earned victories in five games settled by two runs or fewer. “We have a really good feeling about this season,” senior pitcher Jill Brandenburg said. “I’ve been playing with these girls since I was 10 years old, and it’s great to be with this group. I think we’re going to come out on top this season in those close games.” Brandenburg, who has recovered from a back injury she sustained as a sophomore, was 5-
13 last season with a 1.45 ERA. She’s expected to handle most of the pitching duties with support from sophomore Sara Adams, a returning letterwinner, and freshman Manda Cash. The pitching circle has been moved from 40 feet to 43 feet this season, which should benefit hitters. “Jill pitched well last season, but we just couldn’t get that run for her,” Warinner said. “We think we can get that turned around, but we know she’s going to keep us in the game

Alexis Williams (C), Lauren Rossi (SS), Sarah Bear (2B) and Mollie Jeck (3B) are returning letterwinners along with junior Lizzie Cherry, who started every game in center field last season. Juniors Steph Keller, Emily Row and Dani Mahaffey are competing for playing time in the other outfield positions. Cash is expected to play first base. Warinner remains focused on run production after the Wolves hit just .230 as a team last season. Rossi was an exception to the offensive woes, batting .412, with five doubles, seven triples and two home runs.
Rossi, who was second-team all-district, batted .489 in the OCC-Central Division, where Kilbourne went 3-11 and tied Westland for seventh behind champion Upper Arlington (122), Central Crossing (11-3), Hilliard Davidson (10-4), Hilliard Darby (7-7), Thomas Worthington (6-8) and Dublin Coffman (4-10). “We think we can put more runs on the board,” Warinner said. “We’ve continued to emphasize that and we think moving the pitching circle back is going to help. The intent of the rule is to create more offense, but you’re dominating pitchers are still going to dominate.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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 RICHARD area is resurKIRSCHNER faced 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, 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 joints. In many cases, rehabilitation
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.
