Residents asked to weigh in on budget By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Bexley City Council members are turning to residents for help as they search for solutions to the city’s looming budget deficit. Cost reductions are a certainty. So is a tax increase. The biggest challenge is in determining how much of each will be need-

ed to balance the budget and preserve existing city services at a level that will satisfy residents. In an effort to solve that puzzle, city council has scheduled a public meeting for 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 24, at he Bexley Public Library, 2411 E. Main St. Ben Kessler, chairman of council’s finance and judiciary committee, said balancing the budget by making cuts

alone isn’t realistic. “Over the past months we have been discussing the impact of projected budget shortfalls and we have been a little bit vague in that we have looked at different options for new revenues and we have looked at options for expense cuts,” Kessler said. “The current discussion is focused on reducing expenditures, possibly in conjunction with a tax increase,” he

said. “As we have looked deeper, I think it has become apparent that the type of cuts that would be necessary absent any new revenue would be so Draconian, so onerous that city services would not exist in any recognizable form after those cuts were made.” Kessler said increasing the city income tax from 2.0 percent to 2.5 percent with an 80-percent credit would still require cuts of approximately $1.5

million. “Even those cuts would create a definite negative impact on the quality and scope of city services,” he said. Kessler said that when comparing Bexley’s budget to those of Grandview Heights, Upper Arlington and Worthington, he found “by and large we are well below those other cities in terms See BUDGET, page A3

Amendment calls for estate tax to end in 2013

By JAYME DETWEILER

Assistant House Majority Whip Cheryl Grossman (R-Grove City) and State Representative Jay Hottinger (R-Newark) have announced their support of a provision in Substitute House Bill 153 — the state budget bill — to eliminate the Ohio estate tax. Grossman and Hottinger were the original sponsors of House Bill 3, legislation designed to abolish the estate tax. If approved, H.B. 3 would take effect on Jan. 1, 2013, to give local governments time to adjust to the change in state law. Grossman said H.B. 3 and the new state budget are vital to improving Ohio’s business climate. “The elimination of the estate tax is just one of the many ways we are looking to improve Ohio’s economic outlook through the state operating budget,” said Rep. Grossman. “This change will lead to a more competitive Ohio, and I think it is a very welcoming sign for those who are looking to do business and enjoy retirement within our state’s borders. It is unfortunate the number of great Ohioans who have left our state in the past because of this unfair tax.” The change to the budget leg-

By the end of this summer three sisters from Bexley all will have experienced the culture and have been immersed in their Jewish traditions as a result of a visit to Israel. Ayelet, Hannah and Tehila Wenger, daughters of Rephael and Dr. Shifra Tyberg, all have been awarded for their academic achievements. The youngest of the sisters, Ayelet, has earned the Bronfman Youth Fellowship. This allows her to spend five weeks in Israel this summer studying Jewish text, culture and tradition from a variety of perspectives. She will be joined for the program with 25 peers from diverse Jewish backgrounds. “It’s going to be interesting to meet Jews from different backgrounds,” she said. The application process required Ayelet to write four essays and two in-person interviews. The Bronfman Fellowship aims “to build stronger Jewish relationships across communities and to strengthen North American ties

Johnston Blosser named Bexley Educator of the Year By JAYME DETWEILER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Amy Johnston Blosser, director of choirs at Bexley High School, had a confused look on her face when family, friends, and staff barged into the auditorium last week and interrupted her class. Tears streamed down her face when Victoria Powers, chair of the Bexley Education Foundation Educator of the Year selection committee, announced she has won the Educator of the Year award for 2011. The award is presented annually to a Bexley educator whose leadership, dedication, extraordinary achievements and

commitment to the classroom have made a difference in children’s lives according to Laura Wise-Blau, communication coordinator. Blosser’s family was there for the surprise April 27. “I don’t understand how people can know that much about music, that is such a talent” said her father, Dan Johnston. “She can get other people to succeed — that’s important too.” Blosser has taught in Bexley for seven years. She directs five choirs and is the musical director for the high school spring musical and the chair of the high school’s fine art department. “I really don’t know what to say,” said

Bexley City Schools use SISTERS Race to the Top funds

Continued from page A1

Teachers in the Bexley City School District are using federal Race to the Top funds to implement new academic content standards. The Race to the Top initiative was created to increase levels of consistent achievement among U.S. students so that they will be more competitive on a global level. The Bexley City School District is receiving $100,000 in Race to the Top funds over a fouryear period, starting this year. The money is earmarked for specific activities as laid out in the school district’s application for the federal funds. Bexley is one of 500 school districts and community schools in Ohio participating in the program. Anne Hyland, Bexley’s director of curriculum and instruction, said the funds are supporting steps the district was planning to take anyway, such as aligning curricula with the revised Ohio and Common Core Standards in language arts, math, science and social studies. “We have been meeting since January with representatives of each grade level to figure out where teachers are going to go with the new standards, building transition plans and laying out curriculum maps,” Hyland said. As the Ohio Department of Education describes on its website, content standards are “clearly defined statements and/or illustrations of what all students, teachers, schools and districts are expected to know and be able to do… The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.” The Common Core Standards have been adopted across the U.S. by all but three states. Race to the Top funds in Bexley are helping to pay for professional development on particular days for teams of teach-

ers. In February, for example, nine elementary teachers met to consider changes to the social studies curriculum based on the new standards and how to create a natural flow of the content for students. They discussed grounding K-6 social studies in the study of anthropology and the fact that the new standards place more emphasis on early native peoples of the Western Hemisphere, such as the Inca, Maya and Aztec.

Bexley will add this to its fifthgrade curriculum. “We also must make sure that all students are exposed to all the content and no one is missing something because of the changes in the various topics addressed at each grade level,” Hyland said. To this end, the social studies teachers decided to fold in the new standards beginning in the 2011-12 school year, with all new standards fully integrated by 2013-14. Language arts teachers have completed similar work over the past months, with Hyland planning to seek board of education approval on the revised district language arts curriculum at the May meeting. Eventually, the school district plans to use the funds to bring greater and more consistent use of its formative assessment program, as well as expand the use of the several data systems available to teachers and students.

with Israel,” according to Ruth Sternberg Portnoy, RSP Development & Communication. Older sisters Tehila and Hannah are both in Israel now. This past weekend they hiked “pretty much across the country,” from Tsfat to Nahariya, said Hannah. Hannah graduated from Columbus Torah Academy (CTA) in 2006 and is heading to Norway to spend the 2011-12 academic year as a Fulbright Scholar. She is currently in Jerusalem for six months studying at Nishmat, an advanced Torah study center for women. In Norway, she will teach English as a Second Language (ESL) at a local high school and American studies/American literature at the University of Bergen. She was hooked on traveling after her first visit to Israel during a summer when she was in high school, describing the land as “gorgeous biblical beauty.” Tehila is a CTA 2010 graduate and class valedictorian. She and Hannah were both National Merit finalists. She is also studying at

Nishmat before attending Princeton University in the fall. Tehila and Hannah say they have felt the genuine sense of belonging during their adventures. “I don’t have to explain that I can’t do things on the Sabbath and I can find kosher food everywhere,” said Hannah. She is looking forward to the “prime hiking country” in Norway and noticing the differences from Israel. “It’s the most egalitarian country in the world,” she said.

All three sisters have made their parents proud, and not only with their awards and traveling experiences. “We are extremely proud that our three daughters like each other and get along so well,” said their father, Rephael. He admitted that just like any other parents, he and his wife stumbled through child raising. “I don’t think we can take much credit for their successes,” he said, adding that they feel “extremely blessed.”

BUDGET

Continued from page A1

Continued from page A1 of our expenditures per capita.” Kessler said he determined the per capita budget by dividing the general fund budgets by the 2010 U.S. Census population figures for each city. “We have a smaller ratio of commercial land use than the other communities, so, we have a lower payroll tax base,” he said. “The payroll tax base, the people working in your city, are the ones who generate the most income for the city. So most suburban residents are Columbus workers, or workers who work in other communities so most of their income tax dollars go to other communities.” Kessler noted that Bexley residents who work in Columbus actually pay more income tax to the Bexley City School District than they do to the city of Bexley. Kessler said Bexley residents are largely happy with the services they receive, despite the city’s relatively small operating budget. “We’re all very hesitant to do anything that would negatively impact the services we provide our city residents,” he said. With the Aug. 10 deadline looming to placing a tax issue on the November ballot, Kessler said the the city needs to establish a timeline for finalizing a proposal.

“We have gathered enough information and discussed it enough that I think we need to look at scheduling a public meeting so that we can allow residents an opportunity to weigh in on how they feel bout any tax increase or any cuts to services,” he said. Kessler’s proposed timeline includes the following dates: • May 24: Public meeting • June 7: Special council meeting to review resident recommendations • June 14: Discuss ballot language, if any • June 28: first reading of ordinance to place issue on ballot • July 14: Second reading • July 26: Third reading • August: Ballot language presented to Franklin County Board of Elections, if necessary Council member Mark Masser said he has received calls from residents who think a decision has already been made regarding an income tax increase and he wanted to ensure them that is not the case. “In my opinion, we haven’t decided anything,” Masser said. “That’s one of the reasons we’re having the open meeting, to bring the public in. I want to kill that as quickly as we can. I personally, and I believe all of council has not made any decision whatsoever.”

She is also the director of traditional music at Linworth United Methodist Church in Columbus.

Gardening specialists will lend their expertise to market customers, according to Garten Club member Carol Porter. “Some of our professional experts are going to tell you how to make your pots or landscaping beautiful by mixing different textures, not just colors but textures,” she said. Also, the event will feature a tent filled with baked goods, plus grilled portobello mushrooms and bratwursts. Coffee and water will be available, as well. The GartenMarkt will be preceded by Jazz and Juleps, sched-

uled from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 6, at the Meeting Haus. There will be food, libations and live music by “Jazz Mary” Daniels. Those in attendance will have first dibs on the merchandise. Porter said popular plants — including phantom and Picasso petunias, orchids of multiple colors and Rocky Mountain red geraniums — would make returns. Proceeds from the GartenMarkt and Jazz and Juleps go to the club, which is responsible for maintaining the 27 flower boxes along South Third Street, as well as educational programs, communications, tours and the planting and maintenance at Frank Fetch Park. The club also organizes the summer concert series at the park. “We’re all working together in this community to make this tourist attraction special, because this is what we’re all about,” Porter said.

As it were

The city itself is the single monument to Joel Wright He is one of the more elusive men in the story of Columbus. Joel Wright is also one of the more important ones. Because of Wright, the whole downtown of Columbus is where it is, is named as it is and is laid out on lines that are still followed today. Yet there is no picture, no portrait, no sketch of this remarkable man. Wright was a member of the Society of Friends, called Quakers, and most of these people shunned pictures as a waste of time and effort. Because of the memories of his friends and acquaintances, we know a little bit about him. He was tall and strong and generally quite fit. He wore the long plain coat of the Quakers, with its large pockets with flaps folded over. He sported knee-length stockings and plain leather shoes. Both the buckles at his knees and on his shoes were made of silver and were a modest display of the success he had made of himself in Ohio. Born in 1750, Wright had missed most of the American Revolution and became known as a man who provided his own passage. Wright was a surveyor and by definition one of the few literate and well-read men in an often illiterate frontier society. In the years after the American Revolution, he spent most of his time surveying the upper reaches of the Scioto, Muskingum and Miami rivers. He also was a town planner and helped lay out Dayton, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky., among other places. After the death of his wife, Wright decided to follow his grown children into the Ohio country and eventually came to call the area around Waynesville his home. In spring 1812, he was called from southwest Ohio to do once more what he did best, only this time with even more attention to detail. Ohio in 1812 was a state in search of itself. Established in

1803, Ohio was the first state carved out of the Northwest Territory that had become a section of British ED America in 1763 and part LENTZ of the newly established United States in 1783. A nation mired in debt and with little income used this vast expanse of land to pay its soldiers’ pastdue wages. It sold the remaining land to anyone who wanted to buy. Ohio became the site of immense land grants to people from north and south, as well as people burned out by the British and even a colony of expatriate French settlers. The land immediately across the Scioto from frontier Franklinton was called the “High Banks opposite Franklinton at the Forks of the Scioto known as Wolf’s Ridge.” Most of the land, from Fifth Avenue on the north to Refugee Road on the south, was set aside for residents of Nova Scotia who had lost property because they had favored the American cause. Desperate for support, many of these people sold their land warrants to speculators and never came to Ohio. Some of the few who did settled near Broad Street and named their home after the place they left: Truro Township in Nova Scotia. By 1812, much of the land on that ridge opposite Franklinton still was empty. As such it became a place to examine as Ohio began looking for a new state capital. The first capital was at Chillicothe, a town along the Scioto River. Unlike the river towns of Marietta and Cincinnati, Chillicothe was a small frontier village and representative of the common people who were settling the new land.

Responding to requests for a more northern location, the capital city had been located briefly in Zanesville before being moved back to Chillicothe. In February 1812, after looking at many sites, the Ohio General Assembly chose the High Banks opposite Franklinton as its new home. Joel Wright came from southwest Ohio to carve that new capital city from the wilderness. Working with local surveyor Joseph Vance, Wright laid out the town of Columbus in April 1812. He picked the site of Statehouse Square and a 10-acre site for a penitentiary, as well, where the Cultural Arts Center is today. He later filed a report with the general assembly, listing all of his expenses, including the $2.43 for his journey to central Ohio. All of his expenses, including his trip home, came to $17.62. It is probably fair to say in retrospect that Ohio got its money’s worth. By June 1812, the first sale of lots occurred. James Kilbourne of Worthington paid $1,000 for a corner lot at Broad and High, and other nearby lots went for several hundred dollars each. Sales slowed when it was later learned that America had gone to war with Britain on the same day, June 18, that the sale had been held. Wright returned to Columbus in 1813 to oversee the construction of the penitentiary. When it was under way, he resigned his position as “director of Columbus.” He went home and lived in the Quaker community of Springboro until his death in 1829. There is no statue of Joel Wright in Columbus, and Wright would have been appalled if one had been erected. The capital city was his monument and a source of pride to him.

Goodwill agencies to celebrate anniversary To the editor: Goodwill Columbus this week is among more than 165 independent Goodwill agencies across the United States and Canada observing the 60th anniversary of Goodwill Industries Week. Locally, this commemoration also allows us to thank you — our shoppers and donors, and business and government partners — for the important role you play in Goodwill’s day-to-day operations. By donating gently used clothing, furniture and household items to Goodwill, you help others. Each year, Goodwill Columbus provides 1.2 million hours of service to 3,325 participants with disabilities and other barriers through day habilitation programs, community-based supported living services, employment training and job placement services. Additionally, your donations to Goodwill divert usable goods from landfills. In 2010, Goodwill Columbus received revenues of $4.4 million from the resale of donated goods. Your dollars helped to fund more than 15 programs and services for individuals with disabilities and other barriers. Donated items we are unable to sell in our retail stores are spared

from landfills as well. In 2011, Goodwill Columbus expects to recycle more than 1 million pounds of unwanted materials — metal, plastics, and wood, wicker and miscellaneous wares. During Goodwill Industries Week, I just wanted to say “thank you” to the people of Franklin County this year for helping Goodwill continue to “break bar-

riers and build futures” for so many local individuals with disabilities. For more information on the impact of your donations to Goodwill Columbus, please visit www.goodwillcolumbus.org and www.donate.goodwill.org. Margie Pizzuti president, CEO of Goodwill Columbus

high ratios of office workers and commercial property. â€œUnfortunately, this model makes it very difficult for cities like Bexley to offer quality city services,â€? he said. â€œEven today we do so with a smaller budget per capita than most of our suburban counterparts. To date, estate tax income has helped us to bridge this disparity, and weâ€™ve been able to partially compensate for the fact that the vast majority of local income tax paid by Bexley residents goes to Columbus, or to whatever city our residents might work in.â€? Kessler said Bexley isnâ€™t the only community that will have to deal with the loss of estate tax revenues. â€œMost communities that benefit from this tax are in the same predicament as we are,â€? he said. â€œThey tend to be historic communities like ours with a higher percentage of residential base over commercial. The loss of the estate tax will have a substantial impact on city finances. Even with the most aggressive economic incentives to try to lure more payroll base to the city, we simply donâ€™t have sufficient commercial land to capture the payroll tax base needed to generate the income to adequately fund core city services under the current tax paradigm.â€? He said losing estate tax revenues will simply increase the local tax burden. â€œThe elimination of this tax will pass the buck on to the local level, where the services provided are core, no-frills services,â€? he said. â€œCommunities like ours

will need to make a decision. Do we diminish the quality of our city services, or do we find a new revenue source to replace the lost estate tax revenue?â€? Kessler invited Bexley residents to attend a 7 p.m. meeting on May 24 at the Bexley Public Library to discuss the cityâ€™s financial challenges and how to solve them. â€œI would encourage residents to come to the public meeting regarding city finances to learn more about the impact of the stateâ€™s budget proposal and what options city leadership are exploring, and to provide their own thoughts and suggestions,â€? he said. Meanwhile, Kessler said city officials will continue to address the issue with leaders at the statehouse. â€œI believe that state leadership needs to better understand the way that communities are being affected by this proposal, and we need to continue to consistently tell our story to our state representatives,â€? he said. â€œTax policy needs to be reformed so that the bulk of local income tax does not go just to those communities that have large office buildings and abundant retail. Instead, communities like Bexley need to capture their fair share of the local income tax being paid by our residents, so that our residents arenâ€™t getting double taxed by the city where they work and the city where they live.â€? Substitute House Bill 153 will continue to receive testimony and debate within the House Finance and Appropriations Committee.

ESTATE Continued from page A1 ing this unnecessary tax that takes direct aim at our stateâ€™s middle class,â€? said Rep. Hottinger. â€œThe budget bill is not only about controlling our state spending, but it is about restoring fairness to hardworking Ohioans who want to live and work in a fair and competitive environment. Ending this tax will have a tremendous effect on job creation and chart a sustainable path forward in the state of Ohio.â€? Ben Kessler, chairman of Bexley City Councilâ€™s finance and judiciary committee, said he wasnâ€™t surprised by the announcement. â€œThis latest proposal â€Ś consistent with what we have heard is the desire of the state house leadership,â€? he said. â€œI have heard of slightly lower impact proposals from Republican leadership in the senate, where there have been some alternate ideas to phase out the tax over time, raise the exemption, or a combination of both. Either way, the elimination of the tax seems likely, and it seems more and more like itâ€™s not a question of â€˜ifâ€™ but rather a question of when and how.â€? Kessler said the stateâ€™s firstring suburbs will be especially hard hit by the elimination of the estate tax. â€œWhile I sympathize with the ideological underpinnings of the Ohio estate tax elimination proposal, the unfortunate reality is that it hits first-ring suburbs like Bexley much harder than it does other communities,â€? he said. â€œThe state-mandated tax model for municipalities favors suburbs with

Dombrowski replaces Dempsey as Lions coach By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers Jared Dombrowski knew he’d have to hit the ground running after being hired April 25 to coach the Bexley High School girls soccer team. But what Dombrowski didn’t realize was that some of his new players were a step ahead of him. “I wanted to get the offseason conditioning program together, but the captains of the team had already taken that upon themselves without a coach,” said Dombrowski, a former men’s soccer as-

sistant coach at Capital University. “That says a lot about the program.” Dombrowski, who graduated from Pickerington in 2001 and Marshall University in 2006, replaces Scott Dempsey, who compiled a 224-36-24 record in 13 seasons. Dempsey guided the Lions to the 2009 Division II state championship, a state runner-up finish in 1999 and state semifinal appearances in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006. Dempsey, whose contract was not renewed by the school board, has since been hired by Hartley.

“Obviously, the hardest part is going to be dealing with the expectations,” Dombrowski said. “I’m looking to continue that tradition of success with a few variations of my own.” Dombrowski, a social studies teacher at Groveport’s Cruiser Academy, met with members of his new team on April 26 and 29. Bexley expects to return eight starters from a team that finished 14-2-5 overall last fall and won a district championship. Junior Elizabeth Fraser, who was firstteam all-MSL and second-team all-dis-

trict, said Dombrowski made a good first impression. “He was pretty confident in what he was doing,” Fraser said. “He definitely has good ideas and he’s going to prepare us. I think it’s going to go pretty well.” Dombrowski said he wants the Lions to be a possession-oriented team that’s not afraid to attack. “I’m still trying to get to know the girls,” Dombrowski said. “In a way it’s a new era and I don’t know if we’re rebuilding or reloading. “I want us to impose our style of play

on the competition and make them adapt to us. I want our players to have that drive and passion it takes to be successful.” Dombrowski has playing experience as a forward, midfielder and defender. In 2000, he was first team all-OCC, a ThisWeek Super 12 selection and an allstate forward for Pickerington. Dombrowski was converted to an outside midfielder and eventually a defender at Marshall, where he served as a captain in his junior and senior seasons. See SOCCER, page B2

St. Charles Roundup

Cards seeking timely hitting By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Most coaches are looking for ways to improve their teams heading into the postseason and Ray Benjamin is no exception. Benjamin knows exactly what his St. Charles Preparatory School baseball team needs entering the Division I district tournament: timely hitting. “The main thing is that we have hit a stretch in six games where we left 62 runners on base,” Benjamin said. “We are consistently leaving 10 runners on base in every game.” The Cardinals won their first four games, but then lost 11 of 14 contests before beating Worthington Kilbourne 1-0 and 84 on April 30. “We started (stranding runners) with a 3-2 loss in eight innings to Watterson (on April 8) in the first week of the CCL when we left 12 on base,” Benjamin said. “Then we lost 2-1 to DeSales (on April 13) and left 12 on. And in both games we had the same amount of hits as Watterson (eight) and DeSales (seven). “We are getting great pitching and playing good defense, but haven’t been able to get the big hit when we need it.” St. Charles opens district play on Monday, May 9, at Westerville North. The Warriors were 8-10 entering the week. “We played Westerville North a couple of years ago, but I haven’t looked at their charts or their roster yet,” said Benjamin, whose team lost to North 2-1 in the second round of the district tournament in 2009. “(The Warriors) were around .500 when we voted (for seeds) on (April 29). I know they will be a good OCC team with good tradition and they will be a challenge for us.” North coach Sean Ring sees St. Charles as a familiar opponent. “I have heard that St. Charles mirrors us in that they are a good team when they don’t beat themselves,” Ring said.

Girls lacrosse finding balance By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Coach Gillian Thomson was concerned about what would happen to the Bexley High School girls lacrosse team after it lost senior Gabby Goldach to a shin injury during an 8-7 victory over Gahanna on April 14. The Lions averaged 8.7 goals per game in their 4-2 start, with Goldach being a big part of the offense. However, Thomson was pleasantly surprised as Bexley averaged 7.8 goals per game while going 1-2-1 in four contests without Goldach, before the Lions played Wellington on May 3. “We’ve been scoring by committee,” Thomson said. “Kate Gatterdam, Ellie Williams, Colleen Bond, Libby Davis and Liz Harriman have really stepped up their game on offense and (goalkeeper) Maddy Kelly has kept us in games. While we miss Gabby a lot, we’ve had a real balanced offense.” “We’ve made a lot of adjustments,” said Harriman, a senior midfielder. “She’s one of our biggest threats, but we have other people who are getting the ball into the See CARDINALS, page B3 goal. We’re using a lot more plays and

making due with what we have.” Goldach, who has signed to play at Miami University, had been off to a strong start. The midfielder, who scored 19 goals as a junior, had 18 in the first six games this season. Thomson said Goldach does a lot more than score goals. The senior also had been handling the draw for the Lions.

Goldach’s injury, the result of chronic problems with her shins, also sidelined her for part of the field hockey season in the fall. “It’s been extremely frustrating,” Goldach said. “During the (10-all tie on April 26) with Scioto, I was sitting on the sidelines wishing I could run a play, take a shot or make a pass.”

“She’s intense and competitive,” Thomson said. “She raises everyone up around her. Hopefully, we can get her back for the last two weeks of the season and for the tournament.” The Lions will get a sneak peek of their Division II South-Central regional tournament opener when they play host to Hartley on Thursday, May 5. The Lions will visit the Hawks in the first round on May 19, with the winner advancing to play either Cincinnati Seven Hills or Kings Mills Kings on May 24. With players stepping up to fill in for Goldach, Harriman said the Lions could be a more dangerous team when Goldach returns. “We have such a strong team; it’s not just one person scoring,” Harriman said. “When she comes back to our team, we’re going to be twice as good as when we first started out.” •Coach G.J. Seckel said the weather has put a damper on the progress of the boys tennis team. The Lions have had seven of their first 14 matches postponed or canceled. See LIONS, page B3

Hartley Roundup

Lacrosse team excited by postseason potential By JARROD ULREY

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Emily Sweeney has found a new favorite subject to talk about this spring: girls lacrosse. Now in her fourth season for the Hartley High School team, the senior never has felt this excited about the sport — mostly because there haven’t been many reasons to feel that way the past few years. The Hawks went 7-8-1 in 2008 but struggled the past two seasons, including finishing 3-9 a year ago. With its fourth coach in as many seasons, Hartley has been one of central Ohio’s biggest surprises under Molly Gilbert. The Hawks were 7-2 before playing Granville on May 3. “Literally I talk about lacrosse with most of my friends,” Sweeney said. “It’s been a big change for Hartley. These coaches have been so dedicated. Now that we know that it’s permanent and that they’re so passionate, the juniors and seniors are so pumped about it. We’ve been learning more about how to trust ourselves and each other. We’re a team of athletes, and (the coaches) want to stress that this year everybody is good. I think we’ll definitely make it a lot further (in the tournament) than in the past.” Gilbert is a former Ohio State player who also previously served as an assistant at Watterson. Former Thomas Worthington coach Jim Leake, who assisted with Gilbert at Watterson, as well as Ally Vernon and Molly Hartige, comprise Gilbert’s coaching staff. According to Gilbert, one of the Hawks’most memorable wins came over Columbus School for Girls 10-9 on March 31. Hartley will open the Division II South/Central Region tournament May 19 against Bexley, which it also is scheduled to play on Thursday, May 5.

(Our practices) are not easy, and they’ve all done a nice job transitioning from practice to games.

been pushing themselves to not just play games but win games. They all have a lot of potential.” •The boys and girls track and field teams used the Penn Relays in Philadelphia last weekend as a tuneup for the CCL meet May 12 and 14 at CSG and the postseason. In addition to having a group of returning veterans from last year’s state runner-up girls team, freshman Naja Greer (200 meters, 400) and junior Destany Martin (hurdles) have been strong contributors, according to coach Richard Jones.

Continued from page B1 The Lions were midway through their match with Columbus Academy on April 26 when it was halted because of rain and rescheduled for May 4. “It’s been odd,” Seckel said. “It’s very difficult to stop a match like that and get everyone pumped up again.” The rain not only has affected the team’s schedule in the MSLOhio-Cardinal Division, but its non-league and OTCA schedules as well. The Lions have had to drop matches with Thomas Worthington, Louisville (Ky.) St. Xavier and Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit. “It makes it kind of hard to have any kind of consistency and schedule matches,” Seckel said. “We’re at the point where we’re going to have to play every day to catch up.” •The baseball and softball teams are on different paths as they prepare for their respective Division II district tournaments. The baseball team had won five consecutive games before losing to Hartley 16-14 and 6-1 on April 30. The Lions started the win streak by defeating Newark Catholic 2-1 on April 25 despite Green Wave pitcher Jimmy Lough throwing a no-hitter. After that, Bexley defeated Whetstone 10-8 on April 26, Lakewood 8-1 on April 27, Worthington Christian 9-2 on April 28 and Licking Valley 11-9 on April 29.

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Bexley baseball, softball and boys tennis teams: BASEBALL *April 25 — Defeated Newark Catholic 2-1 April 26 — Def. Whetstone 10-8 *April 27 — Def. Lakewood 8-1 April 28 — Def. Worthington Christian 9-2 *April 29 — Def.

“We raised our batting 40 points (to .295) last week,” coach Tom Marker said. “The guys are buying into what we’re talking about and everything is coming together at the right time. We’re finally finding ways to get it done.” The Lions play host to Buckeye Valley on Tuesday, May 10, in the first round of the district tournament. The winner plays at seventh-seeded Licking Heights in the second round on May 12.

The softball team, which had lost seven of nine games before playing Newark on May 3, opens the tournament against visiting Beechcroft on Monday, May 9. The winner plays at top-seeded DeSales on Wednesday, May 11. “When you’re seeded that low (18th), you don’t have a lot of choices,” coach Rick Wemlinger said. pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

CARDINALS Continued from page B1 “So if I were a betting man, I’d say that the team that makes the least amount of errors and mistakes will win this game, because neither of us seems to hold a big advantage in any one area.” The Cardinals are led by senior pitcher Patrick Dyer, who is a 6-foot-7 Akron signee. Through 20 games, the left-hander was 3-2 and had more than 50 strikeouts, according to Benjamin. “St. Charles has one pretty good pitcher (Dyer), but the rest of their players have an average skill set, much like our team,” Ring said. “Playing in (the OCC-Cardinal Division), we’ve already seen a lot of good pitching, so I think our guys are ready. “Our pitching has been pretty good for the most part, and Jake Miller and Garrett Lieb will be our two horses through the district tournament. The games where we don’t have a high walk total are the ones we seem to win.” The St. Charles-North winner plays in the second round on Wednesday, May 11, at 10thseeded Watkins Memorial or Teays Valley. That winner plays fifth-seeded Gahanna, Central Crossing or Marion-Franklin in a district semifinal May 17 at Hamilton Township. “I like (our draw). ... Obviously you have win the first game to get to the second game,” Benjamin said. “You have to feel comfortable with the matchups in game one and game two and I do feel like it’s a good spot for us.” •The tennis team finished sixth (7 points) in the eightteam Worthington Cup on April 30 at Worthington Kilbourne behind champion Dublin Jerome (15). “The Worthington Cup is always a good, strong tournament,” coach Linda Myers said. “It gives you a chance to see what’s going to be happening at the sectionals in the postseason.” Dennis Gleason won the seventh-place singles match 8-1 over Gahanna’s Stephen Cheng.

Grant Dolven and Weston Niermeyer finished fourth after falling 9-7 to Olentangy’s Mitchell Lothes and Alexander Hathaway in the third-place match. “I think we had some ups and downs (at the Worthington Cup),” Myers said. “I think it would have been nice to be a little steadier, but at this level of competition you have to stay in it all the way. You can’t have a down moment. We had some really great moments, but unfortunately we have some things to work on as well.”

Chefs to converge on Audubon Center for Taste Kevin Caskey can’t wait to show off his chops next week at the fourth annual Taste of Dine Originals. The chef and owner of Skillet in Schumacher Place will serve raspberry panna cotta with rhubarb and lemon verbena, along with some other creations. Caskey is among 50 chefs participating in the fourth annual event, to be held May 12 at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, 505 W. Whittier St. He said he hasn’t participated for two years and is eager to get back. “It’s good exposure for our group as a whole,” he said. “We’re all independently owned restaurants, and we’re a diverse group. And in one night you can taste not only the food offerings but understand the concept and thoughts that went into the development of the restaurants that make up our group.” The gala will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased at www.dineoriginalscolumbus.com. Some tickets might be available on the day of the event and may be purchased at the

door. Proceeds benefit Dine Originals Columbus and the Buckeye Ranch, which provides mental-health treatment and alcohol and drug services for children with behavioral or psychological and substance-abuse disorders. “We’re blessed to be part of the event for four years,” said Michelle Aro, development coordinator at the Buckeye Ranch. “The partnership we’ve built with the Columbus Dine Originals group has been fantastic. They’ve been a wonderful group to work with.” The event has been moved from the Smith Bros’ Hardware Co. building downtown because it simply outgrew the space, said Katharine Moore, executive director of the local chapter of Dine Originals. The Audubon Center, on the Whittier Peninsula, provides a modern backdrop with attractive surroundings, she said.

“We thought it really complemented our messaging and mission because they are green and our members have that commonality,” Moore said. “It’s such a beautiful oasis in downtown Columbus that people don’t know about. So it’s fun for us to introduce that venue to a whole new crowd. In addition to food, more than 30 vineyards will be represented, as well as local breweries and micro distilleries. One of those is Watershed Distillery, just outside Grandview Heights. “We are excited to be a part of it,” Greg Lehman, co-founder of the company, said of the celebration. “I think it’s a good way for us to be involved locally.” A silent auction will feature cooking lessons, private dinners, special events, art and rare bottles of wine. Moore said chefs look forward to showing off their talents and mixing with the crowd. “They have fun riffing off each other,” she said. “They’re very competitive on what they put out. But they’re there to talk to their cus-

tomers in a way that they just don’t have the opportunity to on a busy Saturday night.” Chicken and potatoes will be the obvious staple of Chix & Fries, a new enterprise owned by Jim Mandas, formerly of the Boulevard Grille in recently torn-down City Center Mall, and a silent partner. They will tear down an existing BP gas station to make way for the new 2,000-square-foot building at 3255 Silver Drive, where North Broadway and Interstate 71 meet near Clintonville. Chix & Fries will offer grilled chicken tenders, fried boneless tenders and chicken wings and french fries, plus four or five signature sauces and sandwiches. The restaurant should be open sometime in the fall, Mandas said. He said the place is bringing back the Italian herb-crusted chicken sandwich that was popular at the Boulevard Grille and the Columbus Arts Festival. The food at the new restaurant will be competitively priced, he said.
