Marysville, county, school district

Local groups identify areas for cooperation By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In the ongoing attempt to address dwindling resources and proposed cuts in local government funding, several county groups are trying to see if two heads (or three) are better than one. The Union County commissioners

met with Marysville city staff and Marysville school district officials last week to begin a conversation about consolidating some services among the three bodies. Though no plans have been put into action yet, the idea was to open a conversation and get the ball rolling, according to Marysville Mayor John Gore. “Probably about eight or nine years

ago, we had a meeting and talked about what we could do jointly between the city and the county, and for whatever reason things didn’t go forward,” Gore said. “But if we’re going to survive, (it’s going to take) all of us. … One thing I like to say is that 22,000 of us may live in the city of Marysville, but all 52,000 of us live in Union County.”

The initial discussion, held May 26 at the commissioners’ offices, identified potential areas for consolidation or cooperation among the county, city and school district, such as bulk purchasing, safety services, storage space for things like road salt, pooling information-technology services or personnel, records management, training, insurance plans,

consolidating parks maintenance or activities and other areas. Commissioner Gary Lee said the three groups might be able to work together to reduce costs and that Union County residents should be commended for the general spirit of cooperation they already See COOPERATION, page A2

Doc Henderson’s under new management

BEAUTIFICATION

Phill Francis, Josh Smith and Mark Jones are busy planting flowers May 26 at Mill Creek Apartments. The complex won an award in the Marysville Beautification contest last year and hopes to repeat this year. See story, page A8.

One of Marysville’s best-known restaurants is under new management. Doc Henderson’s Restaurant owner Bob Meeder said May 25 that Columbus-based Sanese Services Inc. has taken over management duties at the eatery, at 318 E. Fifth St. “We had a business agreement that they would manage the restaurant for me, with the intent that (the restaurant) would keep its present market in this area,” Meeder said. “The quality and the personnel will not change.” Meeder said he is retaining ownership of Doc Henderson’s, which he has owned since 2002. Meeder’s own company had managed the restaurant. See DOC HENDERSON’S, page A2

School board considering cost-reduction recommendations By JIM FISCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A dark cloud was hanging over the Marysville school board May 23 — both figuratively and literally. In addition to the tornado sirens Larry that caused a temporary inter- Zimmerman

ruption to the meeting, members pored over an expected $2.6million budget shortfall expected by the end of the

2012-13 school year. Board members heard a list of recommended measures from Superintendent Larry Zimmerman that included reducing staff, increasing pay-to-participate fees and eliminating coaches and other extracurricular positions. Prior to any action on the pro-

posal, board members requested time to consider the measures and to forward the list to the district’s finance committee. Zimmerman recommended that the board act on the proposal when members meet in June. “We’ve already done a lot” in terms of cost savings, Zimmer-

man said. “There’s not much left we can do.” The district already has announced that 19 of the 22 positions that became open as a result of a retirement incentive offered this spring would not be filled. An additional aide position will be absorbed, as well.

Board president Jeff Mabee pointed to other efforts in transportation, energy efficiency and food service as areas the district has worked to trim the budget without affecting services. These savings will allow the See COST-, page A4

Memorial Day activities planned for Monday By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A closer look

Marysville residents will gather at Oakdale Cemetery on May 30 to commemorate a special Memorial Day, one that falls on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War’s beginning. Memorial Day events will begin at 9 a.m. at the North Main Street bridge in Marysville to honor the dead lost at sea. First English Lutheran Church pastor, the Rev. Paul Schultz, will serve as chaplain, and the Navy hymn, “Eternal Father, Strong to Save,” will be played by Elizabeth Ward and Scott Underwood. The Memorial Day parade will start to form at 8:30 a.m. at Plum and Fifth streets and begin at 9:30. The parade will proceed up Fifth Street to Oakdale Cemetery, 1290 W. Fifth St. In case of inclement weather, the route will go to the Veterans Memorial Auditorium on Sixth Street, where the ceremony will be conducted.

COOPERATION Continued from page A1 have. “I don’t think enough credit’s been given to our community for the years we’ve already been doing regionalization and consolidation of services,” he said. “As I deal with other commissioners from across the state, they are astounded at the level of cooperation and shared services that we already have here.” Since at least 2005, Union County has participated in several partnerships countywide and statewide in an effort to reduce costs. Some of those include involvement with the Tri-County Jail; membership in the LoganUnion-Champaign Regional Planning Commission, shared build-

ing-inspection contracts with Marysville, Richwood, Milford Center and Plain City; 911 dispatching for the townships and villages; a shared county-city economic development director; roadwork for seven townships conducted by the county engineer’s office with the townships sharing in expenses and several other programs. “The important thing is that we have these discussions and see where they lead,” commissioner Steve Stolte said. Gore said the city would take point on scheduling times and places for future meetings on consolidating services and where specific departments could be involved to come up with ways some plans could be implemented.

DOC HENDERON’S Continued from page A1 Meeder said the timing seemed right for Sanese to take over dayto-day management. “We were very fortunate. I’ve known the Sanese operation for years, and my experience with them has always been very positive,” Meeder said. “I was glad that they showed an interest. Right now the basics are being examined, and they’ll be working with our staff.” The Henderson House, where Meeder’s restaurant is, has had a long tradition in Marysville. Built in 1884 by Marysville physician Dr. David W. Henderson, the house was a showplace and center of many civic activities in Marysville, according to Meeder’s history of the building. Henderson was a graduate of the old Marysville Academy and served in the Mexican War. During the Civil War, Henderson enlisted as a surgeon in the 96th Ohio Volunteer Infantry and, after returning, practiced medicine in Marysville until his death in 1910. Last year, Meeder opened a sister restaurant across the street from Doc Henderson’s, called Doc’s Cafe & Wine Bar, which took the place of the Doc’s Bakery in Uptown. Shortly after it opened, however, the business closed because of plumbing problems and water damage. The cafe has remained closed for most of this year, Meeder said, but that soon will change. “We’ll be reopening the cafe across the street here, hopefully within the first part of (June),” he said. “It was just a disaster with the water damage, but Cincinnati Insurance handles all of our risks, and they did a magnificent job of helping us put things back the way they should be.” Sanese will handle the management of Doc Henderson’s only, not the refurbished cafe, Meeder said. Sanese provides food services to corporations, manufacturers, healthcare facilities, college campuses and other commercial clients. The company has offices in Columbus, North Canton and Dayton. Sanese offices did not return several ThisWeek calls for comment.

district to finish fiscal year 2012 (July 2011-June 2012) with a $1.7 million cash balance. Implementing additional reductions for the next school year, Mabee said, allows for the cuts to have two years of budget impact in the hopes of closing the $2.6 million gap in FY13. He said the board is not considering a new levy at this time. “I don’t think that’s where we want to go,” Mabee said. Zimmerman recommended the following cuts: • Consider reduction of 40 staff for 2012-13, saving $2.3 million. • Consider an additional $50 pay-to-participate fee, making the fee $200 per activity, saving

$835,000. • Consider elimination of some coaching and activity positions, saving $71,000; elimination of seventh-grade sports/activities, saving $ 47,000; or suspension of middle school sports/activities for 2011-12, saving $130,000. • Consider elimination of about 30 percent of extended-time contracts, saving $51,000. • Consider reduction of summer workers, saving $30,000. • Consider increases in lunch prices, fees for building use, activity fees for student government and cafe contribution to custodial help, saving $173,000. • Additional reductions handled by administrators (substitutes, reduced materials, etc.), saving $150,000.

County agencies team up for new home project By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Now that students at the Ohio Hi-Point Career Center have finished transforming construction materials into a house, a pair of Union County Board of Developmental Disabilities (UCBDD) clients may start turning it into a home. Hi-Point and UCBDD members last week dedicated a plot of land on West Eighth Street in Marysville. The vacant land will become the new home of Chelsea Babione and Elaine Pope in the summer. The house is built, and they have the land. The house is not on their land, however. “This has been a collaboration with the Hi-Point students in the construction technology class, and it started in January of 2009,” said Carol Scheiderer, UCBDD executive assistant superintendent. “The neat thing is that they needed a place to start building

the house in the winter time, and it happened that the (Marysvillebased) U-CO (Industries) board had some space behind their workshop. So the house has been under construction inside U-CO Industries on Square Drive.” The house will be the first of its kind built by students in a workshop specifically for individuals with disabilities, Delaware Creative Housing executive director Michael Corbett said during the dedication. “This has been a lot of collaboration, with a lot of partners, but this is all about Chelsea and Elaine,” he said. “This is going to be their home.” About 18,000 hours of labor over two years were needed to complete the house, according to Scheiderer. About 50 students worked on the construction, adapting designs to cater to disabled residents. A new 16-foot bay door had to be built into the side of the U-CO Industries workshop so that the project could be moved.

Honda expects plants to return to full production by August By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Honda’s Marysville auto plant and East Liberty plant are expected to return to full production levels by August, following production cut backs caused by this spring’s earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The company on May 26 announced plans for accelerated recovery in auto production in North America, including local manufacturing sites. “As the supply of parts from Japan improves, production will ramp up in August on a step-by-step, plant-by-plant and modelby-model basis, with production returning to 100 percent of the original plan for models including the four-cylinder Accord, CRV and Acura RDX, as well as all V-6 models, including the Accord,Accord Crosstour, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline and the Acura TL, MDX and ZDX,” the company stated in a May 26 release. Earlier this month, Honda announced that two productions days a week would be cut through the summer months, beginning May 9. Honda spokesman Ron Lietzke said Mondays and Fridays would remain nonproduction days through July 1, followed by the scheduled holiday shutdown through July 8. During that period, production levels at Honda plants in Ohio and the rest of North America are at about 50 percent of the original production plan, according to Lietzke, as the supply of parts from Japan recovers. John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co. Inc., said the company has been working to reach both short- and long-term goals. “The light at the end of the tunnel is glowing brighter for us, represented by this significant improvement in our production situation,” Mendel said. “Throughout this crisis, Honda has been fighting to achieve a speedy recovery while maintaining a focus on our longer-term plans for continued growth in sales and production in order to meet the growing needs of our customers.” Mendel said the company is proud of the fact that, despite the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, no layoffs occurred at any of Honda’s 14 production plants in North America. “I am quite proud of the efforts of our manufacturing team and the steps they have taken to keep our team of associates together during this difficult period while maintaining their normal, outstanding focus on quality for the customer,” Mendel said. “We still have challenges to overcome, but once we have normalized operations, we will owe them a great debt of thanks.” The Marysville auto plant (Accord,Accord Coupe,Acura TL and Acura RDX) employs about 5,300 associates and has an annual capacity of about 440,000 vehicles. The East Liberty auto plant (CR-V and Accord Crosstour) employs about 2,500 associates and has an annual capacity of about 240,000 vehicles.

“We knew we were going to be able to get this done, and we weren’t going to hold things up on little details like a door,” UCBDD executive director Kim Miller said during the dedication. Although foundation work began at the property on May 25, Miller said, the house will be brought to the property in two weeks, and the residents should be able to move in over the summer. At a total cost of $100,000, paying for the project also was a joint effort, Scheiderer said. The land and preparation work were funded via the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program, with funds accessed by the county commissioners ($50,000). Capital funds from the Ohio Depart-

ment of Developmental Disabilities will pay for about 80 percent ($40,000) of the project, with the final 20 percent ($10,000) paid by UCBDD through local funds. Commissioner Charles Hall said the location of the house at 310 W. Eighth St. has a special significance. “This property had a house on it that burned down, and it’s appropriate that something like this will come out of the ashes,” he said. Babione said she is excited to move into the new house with her new roommate. Pope said she was able to catch a glimpse during construction. lrice@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

The city of Marysville has lent its voice to county and school district officials asking state lawmakers to vote against the proposed elimination of Tangible Personal Property Tax reimbursement. The council voted unanimously on May 26 to approve a resolution opposing proposals working their way through the Ohio General Assembly as it tries to draft a biennium budget. Part of that budget, if approved, would see the Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) moved to the state general revenue fund, rather than being used as a reimbursement for TPPT funds. “Promises were made to hold harmless our local governments and schools and to make them whole, and those promises are now being broken with the TPPT reimbursement not coming back to communities and schools…” the resolution states. “… in essence, the State of Ohio has balanced their budget by keeping money that was once community money and/or promised reimbursements, thus balancing the State budget on the backs of the communities in Union County.” The resolution comes on the heels of a series of town hall meetings conducted in the county by representatives of the Marysville School District, county commissioners and several county agencies, which were intended to spread the word on the General Assembly’s plans to reduce local government funding across the state. While for many communities TPPT amounted to little if any funds, county commissioner Gary Lee has said that Union County will be the second-most affected county in Ohio, behind Montgomery County, in terms of local dollars lost. In 2005 (the final year of the TPPT), Union County received

about $20 million as part of voterapproved levies, according to figures compiled by the county health department. The Ohio Legislature eliminated the TPPT that year, replacing it with the commercial activity tax (CAT), revenues from which went to the state. While the state committed in 2006 to using CAT dollars to replace the missing TPP funds in local governments, the proposed two-year state budget would eliminate the replacement revenue. “Union County local governments and schools will lose $20 million in annual revenues, far more than what can be saved by belt tightening, improving efficiency and collaboration,” the council’s resolution states. “For Union County government, the budget I help work with, we’re going to see nearly a million dollar loss for the personal property tax, and we’re losing our local government funding which is $1.1 million, so we have a $2 million loss by 2013 in our budget,” Lee said, addressing the council.

Appeals court: Dublin can’t return land By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Third District Court of Appeals upheld a decision by Union County Common Pleas Judge Don Fraser last week, saying the city of Dublin can’t return three parcels of property it had purchased in Union County several years ago. In 2008, Dublin took ownership of land known as Hall’s Corners through eminent domain from owner John Wirchanski, with the intent of building a new interchange at state Route 161 and U.S. Route 33. But the economy slid so Dublin sought to return the land

and recover about $5 million of the $6.8 million the city had paid Wirchanski for the property. Fraser ruled against the action in 2010, with the opinion that Dublin already had assumed ownership of the largest parcel of property. The Third District Court of Appeals in Lima upheld the ruling May 23. An interchange between the two roads was proposed several years ago in anticipation of the development of a proton-therapy cancer center nearby, but the cancer-center project never came to fruition, according to the Union County commissioners.

“The interchange was going to be built because if OSU’s cancer research and treatment center went in, it was going to spawn a medical complex similar in size to the Cleveland Clinic,” commissioner Gary Lee said. “It was going to create a lot of traffic, and Dublin wanted that improvement,” Commissioner Steve Stolte said. “That improvement was being driven by that development.” When Dublin sought to return the property, however, Wirchanski said the city owes him more money to cover the fair market value of the property. Fraser’s ruling, upheld by the appeals court,

Commentary & opinion

was that Dublin already had taken possession of one of the tracts of land, citing the fact that Dublin contractors had been on the property. Dublin has the option to appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court. “The city is evaluating the decision to determine the next step,” Dublin public-information officer Sue Burness said. Lee said the county commissioners haven’t taken part in the process, as they do not control zoning in the county. “I think this really will affect our residents because there is a need for an intersection improvement there, from the standpoint of both Dublin and Union

Memorial Day 1911: Parades, services, decoration of graves

pare, most of the real work of Memorial Day involved flowers — lots and lots of flowers. In 1911, the orED ganizers of Memorial Day LENTZ planned to put an American flag and a bouquet of flowers on the grave of every veteran in the city. To that end, the school children of Columbus were asked to bring bouquets of flowers to the Franklin County Memorial Hall on Monday, May 29. Because there was some doubt, the public was asked to bring flowers, as well. There was no reason to worry. By Tuesday morning, there were more than enough flowers to accompany the 2,500 American flags to be placed in cemeteries around the city: “Carnations, roses, peonies and syringa blossoms were the most numerous in the collection.” At 7:30 a.m. on the morning of Memorial Day, veterans groups met at Memorial Hall in uniform, marched a few blocks to Statehouse Square and boarded streetcars to ride to Green Lawn and Mount Calvary cemeteries. They were soon followed by hundreds of people who joined them at the cemeteries for services. At 9 a.m., flowers were placed at the McKinley Memorial in front of the Statehouse and at 11 a.m., a 46-gun artillery salute was fired in the Statehouse yard by local soldiers from the Columbus Barracks (now Fort Hayes). At 1 p.m., local veterans groups, military organizations, marching bands and most of the Columbus Police Department formed up for a march through downtown Columbus. Returning to Memorial Hall, many of the marchers stayed to listen to a program of

music and patriotic speeches. Religious services also were held in a number of local churches through the day. Many people did not stay downtown for all of these events. Some had left town early in the day, since most businesses, schools and offices were closed and the excursion cars to Buckeye Lake, Griggs Dam and local amusement parks were running early and often. And then there were some people who were not free to attend these events. As one paper put it, “Because it is Memorial Day, and in appreciation of things they have done and may do for their country, prisoners at the Workhouse who are Civil War or SpanishAmerican War veterans, or members of the regular army or national guard, at noon today will be served with a special dinner. “Although the services for the Civil and Spanish war veterans at the Penitentiary Sunday were attended by 98 former soldiers, but three of them served in the Civil War and 95 during the SpanishAmerican War … The number of Civil War veterans has greatly decreased during the past 10 years, by deaths and pardons. The 98 men have organized Walled City Camp and hold meetings just as the old soldiers do at Memorial Hall.” Other people attended all or part of the downtown observances and then departed for family gatherings in local parks or on the front porches of their homes. In the evening, the residents of many Columbus neighborhoods gathered for a fireworks celebration and further festivities. All in all, it was a quite pleasant day for the unofficial beginning of the summer of 1911 in Columbus. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Beautification program deadline approaches By LIN RICE

It was a rainy Sunday in Columbus on the weekend before Memorial Day in 1911. But that did not stop a lot of people from “making an excursion” to the city. According to a local newspaper of the time, more than 5,000 people arrived in the city by train and interurban railway from places as distant as Cleveland, Cincinnati and Parkersburg, W. Va. They came to see the sites, visit local amusement parks and shop in the stores of the capital city. Among the more popular sites were the Statehouse, the campus of Ohio State University and the institutions for the blind, the deaf, the mentally ill and the criminally penitent. This was, after all, the weekend before Memorial Day and one might assume that people were simply celebrating a long threeday weekend. But that is not what they were doing at all. In 1911, Memorial Day was celebrated on May 30 — no matter what day of the week it might happen to be. In 1911, it happened to be Tuesday, so most of these people seeking, as one reporter put it, “spots where cooling breezes ought to blow” or “places where inspiring liquors ought to flow” had a nice day in the capital city, boarded their trains and left central Ohio for a working day on Monday in their hometowns. While most people in Columbus went about their business on Monday, May 29, several dozen others were working furiously to prepare for the holiday that was only one day away. And there was a lot of work to do. Local veterans and civic organizations combined with social service organizations to plan and prepare a full day of activities for Memorial Day. It was begun as a day to remember the men who died serving their country in the Civil War, but it also had become increasingly a time to remember veterans of all of America’s wars and a Decoration Day for family plots in America’s cemeteries, as well. While there were parades to plan and religious services to pre-

County residents,” Lee said. “But the question becomes, who is going to foot the bill?” “At this point, part of the (traffic problem) is resolved because of the completion of the roundabout and the relocation of Industrial Parkway,” Stolte said. “The traffic backups you used to have on Industrial Parkway and (Route) 161 are no longer the issue they once were, but you still have traffic backing up on that exit ramp, coming from Dublin at the light, and that problem is still there.”

Marysville city staff members hope a few more green-thumbed residents will sign up for the city’s beautification program by extending the program’s deadline. “Things have been going a little slow, which we’ve expected with the weather we’ve been having,” city planner Greg DeLong said. “But we’ve still been trying to get some more interest.” The program, in its second year, highlights residents’ gardens, landscaping and property exteriors that show the results of gardeners’ efforts. Residents may nominate their own properties or those of friends or neighbors. “The whole idea started last year with the city’s comprehensive plan,” DeLong said. “We had heard a lot of feedback from the residents; they wanted to see more encouragement and awarding people who had taken the time to beautify their properties. Being the headquarters of a place like Scotts (Co.), people here take a lot of pride in their gardens, and we want to recognize them for that.” Mill Creek Apartments property manager Roger Stiles, one of last year’s program winners, said he has been preparing the apartment grounds for the spring. “The company here is spectacular when it comes to their property,” he said. “They do a lot of outside activities in the summertime, as far as planting flowers and making sure the land-

scaping is kept up. It’s been a little too wet and saturated lately to get a lot done, but this property has come a long way. I’d love people to drive through the neighborhood and take a look at what we’re doing around here.” Entrants in the program are judged on several categories, including first impression (general effect and overall curb appearance, backyard landscape included); selection and placement of materials, along with use of color and texture; originality of design (layout, form and function); and whether the improvements maintain and enhance the overall architectural character and integrity of the property. Applications fall into several categories, considered either “property enhancement” or “beautifully maintained” for either residential or business properties. One winner will be chosen per city ward in each category, along with one business owner per category for businesses citywide. Applicants must use their own resources for the improvements (home improvements, painting, gardening, flower beds, etc.). This year’s program winners will be recognized during a Marysville city council meeting and be presented with a plaque for their gardens. Applications for the program are due June 13. DeLong said applications are available on the city’s website, www.marysvilleohio.org, or at city hall, 125 E. Sixth St. lrice@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Coach Richard Jones has been the architect for Hartley’s success. Pedersen said he deserves all the credit for what she and her teammates have achieved. “Coach Jones is Hartley. He has shaped every one of us into who we are as runners,” she said. “The mental attitude and the confident mindset we have is all due to him. He has made me a better runner and, more important, a better person.” Describing what it will take to win the Division II state title, Cavin said the Hawks can’t let down. “The thing that comes into to my mind first is that we need to turn into superheroes at the state meet,” she said. “We need to be proud of the ‘H’ that we wear on our uniforms and use the power we have to run well and capture our dreams.” The Hartley trio of “superheroes” and their supporting cast have one weekend left to prove their point. I’ll see you at the state meet.

I love the fact that it becomes mind over matter.” “I love the fact that you are surrounded with friends who have the same goals that I do,” Scott said. “No one is slacking off and when times are Larry Larson is a former athletics director at rough you go through them together.

Home sales

Financial finesse

Be prepared by getting preapproved Despite countless stories about the troubles in the housing market, there are many options available. That said, the first step in determining whether or not to shop for that new home is to discuss your financial situation with a trusted mortgage professional and get pre-approved. A pre-approval is one of two common processes prospective homebuyers engage in before making an offer on a home; pre-qualification is the other. Both allow customers to begin the buying process with a good idea of what they can afford, but there are clear advantages to going one step beyond pre-qualification to get pre-approved. Pre-qualification uses a home-buyer’s financial information — income, debts and other monthly obligations, such as child support payments — to determine a buyer’s debt ratio. Depending on how much or how little is available for a down payment, this process helps to determine the size mortgage the buyer can afford and the type of mortgage that best meets the buyer’s needs. Pre-approval takes the approval process to the end — almost. Only a few items remain outstanding, such as an appraisal of the property and confirmation the buyer will have whatever cash is needed for the closing.

For a comparatively small fee — usually about $50 — lenders will work through the steps necessary to receive a mortgage. Buyers who get pre-approved know exactly which financial guidelines they are BRIAN working within. The pre-approved buyer has BURSTEIN the lender’s approval for a specific mortgage amount. Lenders and real estate agents sometimes say pre-approval is the “same as cash,” which can often be an advantage in beating out other buyers. Searching for the right home, arranging a comfortable mortgage and closing the deal can be a challenging process. So doing a little legwork up front by becoming pre-approved can make the other challenges a whole lot easier. Brian Burstein is an area sales manager with Fifth Third Bank Mortgage. He welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions. Please feel free to contact him at 614-932-5473 or Brian.Burstein@53.com.
