Safety committee

Backyard chicken issue flies the coop

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Discussions during Reynoldsburg City Council’s safety committee meeting Monday apparently ended the issue of whether residents will be allowed to raise chickens in their backyards.

Concerns were raised about whether allowing chickens in the city could draw

unwanted predators into neighborhoods, such as raccoons, vicious dogs or coyotes, and whether the fowl would become a health hazard.

Committee chair Mel Clemens pointed out that allowing residents to raise chickens in their backyards might also jeopardize homes and property values.

“When I was on the village council some 50 years ago, people here had pigs

and chickens and cows. There were only 600 people here then. Then we become a city,” he said.

Clemens said when he was growing up on a farm as a young boy, the family had animals, including chickens, but he said that was in the country, not in the city.

“We’re a city and I’m proud of our city. People do have homes and we have

to protect our homes and our property with what we do,” he said.

“There are chickens in Reynoldsburg, but they’re on menus, and there are a lot of those in the restaurants, so you can’t say they’re not here.

“I grew up with them. They stink, they’ve got bugs … it is a problem for your neighbor, I don’t care how you put it, and I don’t see any reason to jeop-

ardize the health and the homes of residents who live here,” Clemens said.

Councilman Fred Deskins agreed and said he is against allowing city residents to raise chickens in their backyards.

“I don’t like this whole idea,” Deskins said. “If you want to raise chickens — See CHICKENS, page A2

Murder charges dismissed

THRICE AS NICE

City police ‘disappointed’ by judge’s ruling in case

By JOHN FUTTY The Columbus Dispatch Reynoldsburg police are “disappointed” by a judge’s ruling that ended an aggravated murder case against an illegal immigrant because a Spanish interpreter flubbed the man’s Miranda rights.

Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge John P. Bessey granted a defense motion last month to suppress statements that Antonio M. Martinez-Nunez made in interviews with Reynoldsburg police.

“His statements were the cornerstone of our case,” said Assistant Prosecutor Mark Wodarcyk, who filed a motion to dismiss the case. “We were left with insufficient evidence to go forward and have any reasonable chance of succeeding at trial.”

Lt. James O’Neill, speaking for the Reynoldsburg Police Department, said officers do not agree with the judge’s ruling.

“Ultimately, it’s the prosecutor’s decision whether or not to appeal it and they decided that they weren’t going to pursue an appeal or a refiling of the charges,” O’Neill said on June 7. “Obviously, we’re disappointed. We think we did what we should have done. We acted in good faith as far as what the interpreter was telling our officers when they were conducting the interview.

Reynoldsburg schools

Officials eye future graduation options

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers With commencement past for the Class of 2011, Reynoldsburg school officials are considering possible changes to where and how future seniors will graduate.

With the rollout of the district’s four academies next year — two at the Summit Road campus and two at the Livingston Avenue campus — district spokesperson Tricia Moore said discussions are beginning as to whether graduation ceremonies for students from each academy could eventually be four separate events.

In addition, the venue could be moved to the Summit Road school’s new performing arts center.

Last August, the Reynoldsburg Board of Education approved a $20 fee for graduating seniors in an attempt to cover the $14,000 cost of renting the Schottenstein Center for graduation ceremonies, and to avoid taking money from the district’s general fund.

“We are tentatively scheduled to be back at the Schottenstein Center next year and the senior class will be like a regular traditional senior class, but it’s the following year that

See JUDGE’S RULING, page A4

we’ll begin to consider how we’re going to have graduations,” Moore said.

“There’s a couple of possibilities: one, you can have everybody together … but another strategy we could use is separate graduations for each academy,” she said.

Moore said that way, the graduating groups would be smaller and both could potentially take place at the Summit Road performing arts center.

The idea of having academy graduations was introduced to the RHS student council last month by Superintendent Steve Dackin.

Moore said so far, the feedback has been positive.

“We would also be very interested in hearing from parents on the topic, because graduation is every bit as important to them as it is for students,” Moore said.

She said the benefit of having four separate graduation events held in Reynoldsburg would mean the venue would be closer for everyone.

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek “With a smaller group, there’s also opportunity to make the event a little more spe- Brandon Takacs and Emily Willard join the class cial for each student, and each one could be of 2011 in tossing their caps into the air after their graduation ceremony May 31 at Ohio tailored to each academy,” Moore said.

Alabama tornado

Church mission marked by help and heartbreak

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Members of the Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church who returned May 29 from a three-day relief mission to tornado-ravaged Alabama said the experience was both an eye-opener and a success.

Nearly 80 people, most members of the church’s youth group, drove south in 9 vans and trucks on May 26 to help victims in Harvest, Ala., one of the communities hit hardest by tornadoes in early April.

Church member Matt Elliot, one of the mission’s chaperones, said even a month since the area was hit by the raging storms, there was still much work to be done.

CHICKENS of the winter, and chicken poop stinks bad,” she said.

Klein said chickens are very susceptible to lice and to other bugs also. In addition, she said, chickens can be loud, especially when a mother hen announces she has just laid an egg.

“Reynoldsburg is a city, folks, and farm animals are farm animals and not city animals,” Klein said. “We live in close quarters here and for my neighbor to have chickens along with a chicken coop … with their smell, their noise, their bugs, and to say nothing of the resale value of my home going down the drain, I‘m concerned,” she said.

City auditor Richard Harris said he contacted the Licking County commissioners because some Reynoldsburg residents live in that county’s Etna Township. Harris and said zoning there allows some farm animals.

He said a Licking County resident who wants to keep any farm animals must have at least two acres of land. Insects, the smell, and the chicken chatter make up a big part of the complaints county officials receive from residents, Harris said.

“They also said … when you put chickens out, there are natural predators for chickens — dogs, raccoons, possums and coyotes — all of which are in western Licking County,” Harris said.

“When you look at these things, there are some inherent problems with bringing poultry into the city, especially when you have natural predators to these animals already in the neighborhood, and you’d like to keep from around your house,” he said.

Council president William Hills said he hopes there could be more internal discussion on the issue.

“This is a bigger issue than just having two chickens in the backyard,” Hills said. “There are people who want it, people who are opposed to it … and if it were to come back, there would be more details available.”

Continued from page A1 and I was raised on a farm — buy a house out in the country.”

The issue of raising backyard chickens was first brought up during a May 9 city council meeting by resident Richard Boone, who said he and his family wanted to raise chickens in their backyard but had found city code is unclear on the subject.

He said the city’s ordinance on “keeping wild or exotic animals” does not specifically mention chickens and asked if city officials would consider the issue and amend the ordinance to include chickens or domestic poultry.

Councilwoman Leslie Kelly said she supports the idea of allowing residents to raise chickens.

She reiterated that her research has found it is a hobby for some people and could provide some health and economic benefits.

“I would love the opportunity to move forward with this and have this be a part of our community for those who want to participate,” Kelly said.

Boone, who attended Monday’s safety committee meeting, said his research has shown that the city of Bexley allows backyard chickens if the owners obtain a permit. He asked if something similar could be considered in Reynoldsburg.

Resident Jane Klein told the safety committee she is against having an ordinance allowing chickens to be raised in Reynoldsburg backyards. She said she was raised on a 40-acre farm in upstate New York along Lake Ontario.

“My family raised sheep, pigs, chickens, rabbits and two beef cows. These animals were raised for food for our large family,” Klein said. “We worked very hard to keep all of our animals clean, fed and happy and we lived in the country, so we could do that.

“Each spring, we had to clean the chicken coop because each hen had been cooped inside most

Safety expo slated June 25 at Ohio Fire Academy

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

gives the academy an opportunity to showcase firefighters, fire safety, equipment and the important work they perform.

“This event is about education,” Flowers said.

“It’s about getting information into families’ and young people’s hands. The whole key to it is educating people about fire safety.”

He said demonstrations and exhibits will be located inside and outside the Ohio Fire Academy’s complex.

“I kind of like to call it a parade in place,” Flowers said. “They all show up, kind of like a parade.

We’ve got the trucks lined up but they really don’t go anywhere, but it’s hands-on, see them up close, and talk … about the history of the trucks.

“We’ll have stuff here built prior to 1900 and stuff that was built this year,” he said.

Flowers said firefighters are always teaching people about fire safety but this event highlights that effort.

“It saves lives, it prevents injuries … if we can train young people on, for example ‘stop, drop and roll’ if their clothing catches on fire, or on smoke detectors and the proper response to smoke alarms or safety in the kitchen, this is an opportunity to showcase that,” Flowers said.

He said another purpose of this event is to show children there is a real human underneath the fire suit.

Firefighters from all over the state will converge on The Ohio Fire Academy, 8895 E. Main St., for the annual Fire Safety Expo & Muster on June 25.

The expo is free and open to the public. Hours are10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Event spokesperson Shane Cartmill said kids, families and firefighting enthusiasts will be able to enjoy a variety of handson fire safety demonstrations.

In addition, he said the expo and muster offers a chance for visitors to see the fire trucks used today as well as more than 100 antique fire trucks dating back two centuries.

Cartmill said a variety of exhibits will be set up.

“There are a large number of historic fire trucks dating back to the 19th century all the way up through to today‘s most modern equipment, the bomb squads and their robots, and arson K-9s,” Cartmill said.

He said fire agencies from throughout Ohio will be represented and most will stress fire safety.

Cartmill said the Fire Safety Expo & Muster, now in it’s ninth year at the academy, has drawn up to 5,000 people.

He said although the event is free, refreshments will be available for purchase, including hot dogs and hamburgers. Families are also welcome to pack a picnic lunch if they want.

CHURCH MISSION Continued from page A1 He said the relief mission’s main task was to help with cleanup efforts.

“We wanted to be able to help with cleaning up debris and help families with the opportunity to begin to rebuild. Basically, the neighborhood we were in was pretty much still a disaster area,” Elliot said.

“I had never seen anything like that. It was shocking and overwhelming to see that much destruction,” he said.

Elliot said church members saw bare trees and bare ground and although some clean-up had already been completed, much of what they saw was either half a house still standing or an entire house collapsed into rubble on top of its foundation.

He said the group split into smaller groups, with some charged with cleaning up and chopping wood, while others sorted out recyclables, including metals and plastics, and helped salvage any valuables.

“I found a digital camera and put it aside for the family,” he said.

“We gathered all of those things together, any clothing that was still in good shape — we even moved an entire house to the curb.

“It was a one-story house and everything had to be moved to the curb so the Army Corps of Engineers working with FEMA could come and remove everything.”

Elliot said the group’s main mission was intended to make sure victims were not forgotten and to assist any way possible.

“Personally, I feel like we have escaped a lot of tragedy here in Ohio and I felt this is something

I can help do for my fellow Americans,” he said. “I want to be able to get down there and help, as well as just share the love of God with those people.”

A return trip may be organized in July to help families rebuild their homes, Elliot said.

RUMC member Lisa Cordova, Pickerington Central high school student, said she volunteered for the mission not only for the experience but especially to help the victims.

“It was kind of breathtaking,” she said of seeing so much destruction. “It’s hard to describe.

It brought me to tears, honestly, to see all the people — I mean, they have their lives, but that was kind of it, because of their houses and how destroyed they were.

“On the other hand, it was good to see how God played a role in their lives,” Cordova said. “We found a lot of Bibles around and Bible verses written down on little papers all around.

“We’ll try to go back in July.

We formed a good relationship with the Summit Crossing Community Church down there that we stayed at, and they pretty much welcomed us to come back whenever,” she said.

Church member Christina Hess, a 10th grade student at Reynoldsburg High School, said she said was absolutely speechless upon arriving in the tornado-ravaged area.

“We had seen all the pictures on TV or whatever, but actually getting down there and realizing that there is nothing but huge piles of rubble and then seeing like a little teddy bear or toy laying around … I was speechless,” Hess said.

“I know if something like that had happened to me, I would want people to come help me out, so I felt God calling me to go down there,” she said.

Hess said over the three days the RUMC members were in Alabama, the work was hard.

“We all sat around and tried to find ways to describe it, but there really just isn’t any,” she said.

“You can just kind of feel your heart breaking for these people, especially after talking with them and listening to their stories,” Hess said.

“They were offering us drinks and food and we’re like, ‘we have our houses and you don’t. Why are you offering us food? This is all you have,’” she said.

Elliot said when he was a young boy living in Jackson, Ohio, his family’s home burned to the ground and although he could relate to losing a home, he had not seen such devastation as there was in Alabama.

“I haven’t been in a tornado or lost a house in that regard, but I can kind of relate to starting over again,” Elliot said.

He said the group’s mission was a success because the volunteers helped move things along more quickly by salvaging materials that could go back into the community.

“The most the mission did, besides give those people hope to say ‘hey, those people were willing to come from Ohio to help us out,’ was to encourage our people to focus on life and that it is not about ‘stuff’ or ‘obtaining stuff’ but it’s all about relationships,” he said. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen TOP-DOWN HEARING RISK

Carrying on a conversation with fellow passengers in a convertible can be so difficult that automobile manufacturers continually redesign their top-down models in order to make the open-air experience quieter. However, it seems that many automakers have fallen short in these efforts to the point where many convertibles are noisy enough to cause hearing loss.

In fact, when researchers recently drove five convertibles at 55 miles per hour, they found that it was surprisingly easy to exceed the 85-decibel level, which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health identifies as “excessive noise exposure.” While no one wants to spoil anyone’s fun, those who are concerned about their hearing should be aware of this risk Whether they come from riding in a convertible, frequent exposure to loud power equipment, or playing music at a loud volume, hearing risks are all around us every day.

JUDGE’S RULING Police are required by law to give criminal suspects a reading of their constitutional rights, including the right not to make self-incriminating statements.

Rigg also determined that Martinez-Nunez made several requests to “speak with his consulate,” and that those requests were denied.

Judge Bessey said June 6 that Martinez-Nunez also didn’t receive or sign a written waiver of his rights during the lengthy phone interview with police, nor did he orally waive his rights before making statements that showed “he had knowledge of the killing.”

After Martinez-Nunez was brought to Franklin County, he signed a waiver of his rights and gave Reynoldsburg police a second interview.

“My concern was, when he got to Ohio, police were building on information that was illegally obtained during the phone interview,” Bessey said.

A second person believed to be involved in the killing might have fled the country and hasn’t been indicted.

Martinez-Nunez remained in the Franklin County jail Monday, June 6, where he was being held for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

“Clearly, he’ll be sent back to Mexico,” Bessey said.

Continued from page A1

“We don’t believe there was any wrongdoing on our part and we believe we would have won an appeal if they had taken it to a higher court to determine whether or not the confession should have been allowed,” he said.

Martinez-Nunez, 31, was a suspect in the slaying of Armondo Casillas Castanedo when he was arrested by the border patrol as he tried to re-enter the country illegally in Texas in February 2010.

Children playing in the parking lot of the Rosehill Plaza Apartments in Reynoldsburg found Castanedo’s body in a parked car on Aug. 21, 2009.

Police think Castanedo, a 36-year-old illegal immigrant, was killed in a Columbus apartment a few days earlier in a feud over drug territory.

An autopsy determined that he had been asphyxiated.

Reynoldsburg police conducted a phone interview with Martinez-Nunez from Texas with the help of a Spanish interpreter. His statements led to a nine-count indictment on charges that included aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and abuse of a corpse.

A translator for defense attorney Brian Rigg reviewed the transcripts of the phone interview and found that the interpreter for police gave Martinez-Nunez an incomplete Miranda warning, failing to mention that he could end the in- ThisWeek Staff Writer David S.

GRADUATION Continued from page A1 She said it would be highly unlikely that if the district opts for four separate graduations that they would be held on the same day since the members of the board of education would want to attend each one.

“We’re really starting to bounce around the idea, but I like the idea of bringing it up now because we’d be interested in hearing feedback from parents. It’s never too early to hear what people think,” Moore said.

Using the new performing arts center could save the district money it now pays to rent a venue.

School board member Chip Martin thinks having four separate graduations is an option that needs to be considered.

“I think anything we can do to save taxpayer money to conduct a graduation is a good thing,” Martin said. “I think any time you can have a setting that is acceptable to the parents and students, and that is more meaningful to that student and gives more attention to them, the better it is.”

Martin also said scheduling graduation on a weeknight is dif-

ficult for some families and another possibility may be to hold them on weekends.

“Overall, I think because the graduations would be smaller, (it) does allow for more individualization and more of a quality graduation experience,” he said. “But then again, if the parents and students feel that they’d rather graduate as one single unit, then that’s an option that has to be considered.

“But I can clearly see some benefits both from the financial standpoint and also from the in-

dividual student standpoint, making it a more meaningful ceremony be doing it by academy,” he said.

Martin said other ideas would be to conduct all four graduations during one weekend, two on Saturday and two on Sunday.

“All those options have to be discussed, but it starts, first and foremost, with the students and the interest of their parents,” he said.

Local fathers write about raising their daughters

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A Reynoldsburg father’s attempt to write about his experiences raising two daughters developed into a book of anecdotes and advice contributed by five central Ohio men.

Les Somogyi, owner of the Reynoldsburg-based Promotions X Design, said the idea behind “Surviving Daughters: How Five Fathers Managed to Stay Sane in a House Full of Women” originated when he thought it would be a good idea to chronicle the memories and stories of raising his daughters, Allison and Erica.

He and co-author Todd Stanley, of Pickerington, assembled a team of three other fathers who have or are currently raising daughters of all ages, Somogyi said.

“I had the idea for quite awhile and when I met Todd, who is also raising two daughters (Anna and Abby), we said ‘why don’t we write a book chronicling some of the good memorable things that happened while raising them?’” he said.

For a year and a half, the five fathers — including Jay Cheplowitz of Pataskala, Dick Hudson of Reynoldsburg and Steven Paine of Columbus —met once a month, talking and sharing about their

Reynoldsburg event. The organization will continue to accept registrations for teams and individuals up to the day of the Relay.

“We encourage everybody to come out,” Perlman said. “You can participate as an individual and we encourage people to form teams of five to 15.”

She said organizers also encourage creative fundraising efforts.

In past years, those activities have included on-site sales of baked goods, glow sticks, beads and other items.

Each Relay For Life event starts with a Survivors Lap — an inspirational time when survivors and caregivers are invited to circle the track together and help everyone celebrate the victories achieved over cancer.

From there, team members take turns walking laps.

“As you enter the darkness in the night, its representative of the fear associated with cancer and the beginning for your diagnosis and treatment,” Perlman said.

“When you get to the dawn, it’s new hope, either through your mis-

sion or new treatment.”

After dark, the event honors people who have been touched by cancer and remembers loved ones lost to the disease during the Luminaria Ceremony. Candles inside bags filled with sand are lit, each one bearing the name of a person touched by cancer, and participants often walk a lap in silence.

As people take time to remember, those who have walked alongside others battling cancer can grieve and find healing, Perlman said.

Lastly, there is a Fight Back Ceremony, where participants make a personal commitment to save lives by taking up the fight against cancer. This may include getting a screening test, quitting smoking or talking to elected officials about cancer.

“As the sun rises, it represents the new day, and victory over cancer with our survivors,” Perlman said. “I really do encourage the community to come out and see what Relay For Life is all about.” nellis@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Each chapter highlights expeshould be the fathers.’”

The 12 chapters cover all aspects riences each father has had, which Stanley said readers will find is either helpful or is something they can relate to or be aware of.

Some of the stories shared by the men focus on funny moments, some on embarrassing ones. There are tips (for fathers) on how to handle boys, and at the end of each chapter are a few tips for the reader.

“The point of the book is to show that there’s nothing new under the sun and that some of these things happen to every father of daughters,” Somogyi said.

“When people read it, they have a smile on their face and it reminds them, ‘those kinds of things happen to me as well,’ and they can relate to it.”

Stanley and Somogyi will be signing copies of the book between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, June 11, at the Cosi restaurant, located at 2212 E. Main St. in Bexley.

Stanley and Somogyi then reviewed all the stories that were told and picked the best ones for the book.

Stanley, a teacher at Reynoldsburg’s Hannah Ashton Middle School, said he did research to see if a market existed for such a book.

“What I found was a lot of books written on father-daughter relationships were not written by fathers. They were written by either women, or daughters themselves,” Stanley said. “One of the books I found was written by a psychologist who didn’t even have daughters, which I found interesting … but never one written by fathers, See FATHERS, page A7

New chef brings menu thrills to The Rossi “The thrill is goooone, baaaaby,” yowled B.B. King as I was seated at a rare available table in The Rossi Bar + Kitchen. Usually, a shopworn song like this deflates my mood. But that night (Was it the festive crowd? The stylish restaurant?), the old tune felt almost fresh.

And hey, I’ve got nothing against B.B., but as the evening progressed, I realized the blues dude’s words couldn’t have been more off base. Because the thoroughly fabulous food I began slamming back at the Rossi proved the thrill is most certainly not gone here. Actually, I haven’t been more enthusiastic about this place since reviewing it the week it opened, in April 2005.

My excitement grew from fantastic nightly specials and spread to just-introduced menu items rolled out by the Rossi’s bright new chef,Andrew Smith. Formerly working in that artsy hotbed of culinary daring called Portland, Ore., Smith’s stuff has been creative without tasting strange, ingredient-conscious without sounding

Before eating, though, try one of the Rossi’s wild cocktails, like the giggly Beet Down ($10). Not only does this rubycolored, hefty, aromatic oddball go down considerably better than it sounds, but I kinda love it. Refreshingly, it’s a bit citrusy with orange-kissed Watershed Gin flying off pomegranate molasses, both grounded by splashes of earthy beet juice.

Crystals of sea salt crust the cocktail glass, realigning the palate between sips.

The lovely, light and lemony-dressed arugula salad ($10) is another new favorite. It’s huge — a salad king crowned with toasted hazelnuts and a crunchy crostini smeared with Lucky Penny goat

Like all specials (including a nifty P.L.T.: pancetta, lettuce and tomato salad

with Lucky Penny feta) it’s listed on cards posted above the restaurant “pass.” There, you might also see a (sexily seared) scallop, (bacony) crispy pork rillette and tomatillo-jam appetizer. If you do, order this immediately.

Ditto for a terrifically balanced soupof-the-day gazpacho ($6). Rustic yet lush, its fresh and colorful chopped vegetables (tomato, cucumber and red onion) were aromatized by a hint of basil and enriched by drops of an excellent olive oil plus pulverized bread.

This brings us to what’s become a much-talked-about dish around town — the Rossi’s incredible new Pork and Beans ($18). Criminally undersold by its mundane name, this breakout entree can easily erase bad memories of underachieving predecessors of the same name.

It begins with a huge and beautiful bone-in, center-cut pork chop, expertly char-grilled like the tender and juicy steak it is. On top is a mass of mayonnaisedressed slaw sharpened by sliced green

The Rossi Address: 895 N. High St., Short North Phone: 614-299-2810 Web: rossibarandkitchen.com apple and bits of pickled jalapeno. Surrounding this are gigantic, meaty and creamy corona beans (think extra-large butter beans) that are a riotous pleasure to eat. Combined, it all made for a comfort-food masterpiece dripping with so much arousing flavor that I literally had to pound on the table and declare, “Holy slab of hog, that’s good!”

In a similar, dressed-up-casual vein was a glorious Pork Confit sandwich ($9) served with terrific fries. Assembled with carnitas-like strands of intensified pulled pig meat and pickled watermelon rind scented with cinnamon, it’s like the dream of a summertime picnic awakened by a clever chef.

And another reason to visit the thrilling Rossi again.

State St. The move was strategic, he said. Nguyen has his eyes on the Chase bank crowd in Westerville, where employees number in the 2,000 range. He hopes reasonable prices — no single dish tops $9 — and quick service should get people in the door.

“To keep my concept working, I need the volume,” he said, noting that a full liquor license is in place.

second Lac Viet in their Bethel Road storefront.

Nanak offered a menu of savory items until recently. Soltanirad said it was too difficult to run the bakery and a separate eatery, so he brought in Nguyen.

“I know him. I think his food is very good,” he said. “It’s something Westerville doesn’t have.”

Nguyen established his first Lac Viet almost seven years ago in the North Market and later opened Phat Wraps, a healthy-food concept on campus. He said he has sold his interest in both restaurants so he could focus on his two other stores.

In related news, Nguyen has attained a license through the Ohio Department of Agriculture that allows him to transport food from Lac Viet on Bethel to other locations, meaning he has turned that store into a commissary kitchen. He recently bought a 60-gallon stockpot and intends to sell his pho broth to other restaurants.

“I’m ready for the next level,” he said.

Find something borrowed. Friends and family may have centerpieces, apparel or other items from their wedding that they would be honored to loan you for yours. Ask around.

Purchase in season.

MICHELLE When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will JOHNSON be in season on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likely have more beautiful arrangements.

The same principle works with menu planning. Look for local and in-season foods when deciding what you’ll serve at the reception.

Negotiate. Don’t hesitate to ask for a discount from your vendors and suppliers. In a tough economy, they may be willing to offer you great rates to get your business. And there’s no harm in asking.

Rent what you can’t afford to buy. Although most brides opt to purchase and store their wedding dress after the big day, few ever wear or do anything with the gown again. By renting, you can wear a designer dress for a fraction of the cost of purchasing.

Reduce the size of your guest list and wedding party. Scrutinize your guest list and consider limiting the number of your attendants.

Scaling back can help you save on the cost of invitations, favors, meals and more.

Make wedding purchases with a rewards card. Rather than writing a check, consider using a credit card that rewards you with frequent-flier miles, hotel points or even cash back. Depending on how much you spend, the rewards could help defray the cost of your honeymoon travel.

1-800-511-7830

Wedding planning on a budget Your wedding day may be one you have dreamed about your entire life. In those dreams, it’s likely that no expense was spared in making the event memorable for you and your guests.

When it comes time to actually plan your wedding, however, you’ll likely be operating on a much tighter budget than you had in those dreams.

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to make the event spectacular without spending a small fortune. In addition to the following tips, research will yield many books and online resources devoted to this topic.

Schedule your wedding out of season.

There’s no right or wrong time to plan your wedding, but there are dates that are more popular, and thus more expensive.

Avoiding the early summer and early fall months makes it easier to negotiate lower prices with vendors. Additionally, Fridays and Sundays tend to be less expensive than Saturdays.

Choose a nontraditional venue for your ceremony or reception. Holding your event in a backyard, park, on public grounds or in another location that doesn’t specialize in hosting weddings is both unique and can be a big cost-saver. Remember, however, to take into consideration the cost of tables, chairs and other rentals.

Don’t spend a lot on invitations. Couples may think the invitation sets the tone for the wedding, but the reality is, guests rarely remember the invite after opening the envelope.

Consider cutting costs by choosing less expensive invitations or even making your own.

For the response card, opt for a postcard or even an electronic reply on one of the popular wedding websites to save even more.

Get your friends and family involved. There are likely some very talented people in your circle of friends. Tap them to be part of your special day. You can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by asking your friends to fill important roles such as photographer, DJ and florist.

Track & Field

Reynoldsburg girls win 3rd straight title

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With rain beginning to fall moments after the 1,600-meter relay June 4, the Reynoldsburg High School girls track and field team gathered underneath the tent near the podium in Ohio State’s Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

As the reality that the Raiders had won a third consecutive team championship began to sink in, senior Kacia Grant shouted, “It was so hard, but we

did it!”

Unlike the past two seasons when Reynoldsburg won state titles by comfortable margins, several things needed to fall into place during the Division I state meet’s final few events for the Raiders to make it three in a row.

Heading into the 1,600 relay, Grant, juniors Faith Washington and Destinee Gause and sophomore Yamonie Jenkins knew they only needed to earn a fourth-place finish to secure the team title.

A strong performance in the final leg by Gause, who had earned two state titles earlier in the meet, helped Reynoldsburg take second (3 minutes, 48.78 seconds) in the 1,600 and finish with 47 points.

Cincinnati Withrow finished second (39) and Middleburg Heights Midpark took third (33).

“It was much harder this year,” Gause said. “The fact that we messed up in the (400 relay) and we didn’t do as well as we wanted in the (800 relay),

I’m still in shock that we did it.”

During the preliminaries June 3, everything went according to plan for the Raiders except in the 400 relay.

Sophomore Diamond Gause struggled to overcome heat exhaustion, and the relay that also included Grant, Jenkins and Destinee Gause placed 14th (49.82).

To begin the second day of competition, senior Donyelle Brown scored one point in the discus, finishing eighth with a throw of 131 feet, 1 inch. That

was nearly five feet longer than she threw while winning a regional title May 27.

Washington then took fourth in the 100 hurdles (14.52) and Destinee Gause won the 100 (11.82). Last season, Gause false-started in the preliminary of the 100.

Diamond Gause bounced back to join Grant, Jenkins and Washington on the 800 relay that took third (1:39.63).

Hartley girls capture Division II team title

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

During the running finals of the Division II state track and field meet June 4 at Ohio State, the Hartley High School girls team had some of its competitors wear a limited number of white uniforms while a few had to settle for red and blue.

It was about the only disunity the Hawks showed all day.

Hartley, which had eight runners spread among three relays and five individual events, used its depth to win its second state championship in three seasons.

The Hawks won just two events but still scored 47 points to finish well ahead of a field that included runner-up Toledo Rogers (30), Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary (28), Peninsula Woodridge (26) and Eastmoor Academy (20).

While winning a share of the 2009 title with Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy, Hartley scored 55 points. The

Hawks finished with 71 points at state last year but settled for a runner-up finish behind Cleveland Collinwood (77).

“Things were not as easy as they have been in the past,” coach Richard Jones said. “We bend but we don’t break. We did realize that we didn’t have to win as many events as we did last year to wrack up the points.

We had depth and we scored in more events than the other teams.

“You always want your seniors’ last experience at Bishop Hartley or here at Ohio State to be a good one. We knew the plan in terms of the point spread. The (400 relay) was a very good surprise.”

Shining brightest for the Hawks were their relays.

The 800-meter relay of seniors Aisha Cavin, Maya Pedersen and Chelsea Scott and freshman Najah Greer won in 1 minute, 40.72 seconds. Then in the meet’s final race, the same foursome won the 1,600 relay in 3:50.13.

In between, the 400 relay of

junior Destany Martin, sophomore Nala Key and freshmen Deja Martin and Greer took third (49.3).

“It’s really exciting to see the crowd cheering for us,” said Destany Martin, who along with some of her teammates had portions of hair dyed blonde the night before the final.

Individually, the Hawks had a few anxious moments to overcome.

Cavin entered state as the defending champion in the 400 but had just the ninth-best preliminary time June 3 and finished last (63.36) in the final.

The Ohio State recruit placed third in the 100 (12.49).

Helping compensate for Cavin’s finish in the 400 was that Pedersen, who has signed with Dayton, finished third (56.84) in the race. “(Winning the team title is) a relief, but I’m kind of sad it’s over,” Cavin said. “My biggest problem was battling my thoughts. I just had too much

anxiety, and the time in between each race does that, too. Maya getting third (in the 400) was good. It was a whole collective team effort.”

“It’s pretty rewarding,” Pedersen said. “I definitely think we deserved it with all of the

hard work we’ve done. It was definitely harder after losing Chesna (Sykes to graduation).

I thought we did a good job of substituting people in this year.”

Also contributing individually was Scott, a Pittsburgh signee. After having the third-

best time during preliminaries in the 100 hurdles, she turned in a fifth-place finish (15.02).

She added a fourth (44.44) in the 300 hurdles.

State Track & Field Notes

Division I boys pole vault battle highlighted meet From staff reports

3,200. He was hanging with eventual-champion Tsehaye Hiluf of Reynoldsburg for the first five laps before one of his shoes got knocked off by another runner. He stuck with the race for another lap before dropping out.

•BATTLING THROUGH INJURY — Gahanna sophomore Lynnsey Brim placed second in the Division I girls long jump (18-8 3/4) behind Middleburg Heights Midpark senior Kaila Barber (19-1 3/4) despite nursing a turf toe injury on her left foot.

“Turf toe may not sound that serious, but it’s an injury that can be devastating to a track athlete because it makes every step you take painful,” coach Roger Whittaker said. “Lynnsey didn’t even long jump this season until May 5, and she only took three attempts while winning district and regional because we were trying to save her for state.

Lynnsey was in pain this season, but she really stepped up and performed well in the meet that matters the most.”

Injuries hindered Big Walnut’s Tyler Fifer and Olivia Small last weekend.

Fifer, a senior who has two torn ligaments in his left ankle, finished 12th (6-2) in the Division I boys high jump. He had cleared a personal-best 6-10 earlier this year and had qualified for state by going 6-4 at regional May 27 but sustained the injury during a practice before regional.

“I had a good season, but obviously I wasn’t healthy and wasn’t able to compete with these guys,” Fifer said. “Everyone here is top class. And if you’re not healthy, you can’t compete with them. It was hard enough for me just to walk. I just tried to suck it up and do what I could do. I don’t like to make excuses, but it was hurting.”

Small, a freshman, hurt her left hamstring while competing in the 400 relay at regional but two days later was able to jump a personal-best 17-8 1/2 in the long jump to qualify for state.

The pain was worse last weekend, however, and she had to withdraw from the competition after her first jump in the final.

She tied for ninth (17-1 1/2).

“It hurts really bad,” Small said. “My second jump I just pushed it too hard and it went downhill from there. It bothers me because if I would’ve jumped my (personal best) I would’ve been (eighth). It’s just hard.”

•RELAY RECORD FALLS — Bexley senior Elijah Scott, junior D.J. Jones, freshman Rasheed Morgan and junior Jalen Robinette became the first Lions athletes to score in the Division II state boys meet since 2007, placing fifth (1:30.16) in the 800 relay on June 4.

In the June 3 preliminaries, the relay broke a 42-year-old school record with a time of 1:29.81.

“We were close to the school record early in the season,” Jones said. “We came into the meet (thinking) we’d be happy if we got the school record or made it into the finals. We ended up doing both.”

The boys pole vault competition in the Division I state track and field meet June 4 at Ohio State featured three athletes who have held the state record.

In a battle between Olentangy Liberty High School senior twins Chris Uhle and Joey Uhle and Gahanna junior Jake Blankenship, it was the youngest of the trio who left with the championship.

Chris Uhle, the defending champion after vaulting a thenstate-record 16 feet, 9 inches last year, ended up third as Blankenship went 17-0 to capture the title. Joey Uhle finished second (16-6), followed by Chris Uhle (16-0).

“Having three state recordholders competing at state in the pole vault has definitely never happened in the past and may never happen again,” Joey Uhle said. “This was a fun year to compete in the pole vault because all three of us pushed each other all year.”

Blankenship went 16-10 in the OCC-Ohio Division meet May 14, but Joey Uhle vaulted 17-0 on May 21 in the district 2 meet at Hilliard Bradley.

“Whenever the three of us compete, it always goes back and forth between us, and I was fortunate to win on this day,” Blankenship said. “It feels good to win, but we’re all like a family and we’re happy for each other no matter who wins. I really wanted to clear 17 feet for the first time and I couldn’t have done it without Joey and Chris pushing me.”

•SOARING TO A NEW RECORD — Medina senior Taylor Burke set the state record in the girls high jump by clearing 6-1 1/4 to win the Division I state title on June 4.

Burke broke the previous record of 6-0 that had been set

by Cleveland Collinwood’s Christina Estrict in 2000.

•ALSO JUMPING TO A TITLE — After Brookhaven senior Nigel Preacher had the state title in the Division I boys high jump locked up June 4, he set his sights on the state record.

Preacher jumped 7-0 to win the title then took three shots at 7-3, but came up short. The state record of 7-2 3/4 was set in 2009

by Toledo Rogers’ Erik Kynard Jr. •TOUGH CALL — Grove City Christian’s Jaymie Barns capped a successful season by advancing to the boys 400 in the Division III state meet.

Barns would have finished 14th overall but was disqualified for having improper stitching on his shorts. According to coach Brad Seaburn, Barns competed with the same shorts all season.

•SHOELESS — Bay Village Bay’s Michael Brajdic and Westerville North’s Brian Hannaford were among the runners who lost a shoe during their races June 4.

Brajdic won the 3,200 in Division II (9:25.07) by more than six seconds despite competing without his left shoe for nearly a mile. He will continue his track career at Ohio State.

Things didn’t turn out as well for Hannaford in the Division I www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Reynoldsburg senior Donyelle Brown competes in the discus June 4 at Ohio State. Brown finished eighth in the event and also placed eighth in the shot put.

RAIDERS Continued from page B1 About half an hour later, Washington had a third-place finish in the 300 hurdles (43.58) and Destinee Gause captured her third consecutive state championship in the 200 (23.84).

Those performances, along with Brown taking eighth in the shot put (42-1), helped set up the dramatic finish in the 1,600 relay.

“They just kept fighting,” coach Denny Hammond said.

“What do you say about Destinee? What she did (June 3 and 4), she’s just phenomenal. Yamonie ran on the (1,600 relay) because Diamond went down (June 3) in the (400 relay). We said all we’ve got to do is finish fourth (in the 1,600 relay).

You saw what Faith did, running the 300 hurdles and then coming back to do the (1,600 relay). On a day like this, that’s crazy.

“They all wanted to talk about what we didn’t do in the (400 relay), but I said to them, ‘Hey, we’re going to do some good things (June 4).’”

According to Washington, a pep talk by Hammond after the first day of state competition helped keep the Raiders focused.

“This was like no other year,” Washington said. “We were keeping track (of team points) all along, and right before the (1,600 relay) we knew we were ahead 39-33.

“At that point we knew that all we needed to do was get fourth, but we decided to go for first anyway.”

Destinee Gause broke the stadium record in the 100 during the preliminaries when she ran 11.63. She easily won both of her individual events.

“It’s hard for me to find the words,” she said. “I broke 24 seconds in the 200, and I’m still excited about that.”

•The state meet also created a lasting memory for junior Tsehaye Hiluf of the boys team.

After having the ninth-best regional time among the 16 state qualifiers, Hiluf took an early

lead in the 3,200 and led for the entire race.

He finished in 9:17.09 to capture the state title and score 10 points for the Raiders, who tied for 22nd place with six other teams behind champion Cincinnati LaSalle (36) as 78 teams scored.

Hiluf battled Westerville North’s Brian Hannaford for the first five laps, but Hannaford lost a shoe and bowed out one lap later.

Mason’s Matt Kincaid was second (9:22.33).

Hiluf said his slower regional time was due to stomach flu that he had been battling.

“I saw (Hannaford) drop out, so I tried to go,” Hiluf said. “(At regional) I tried to lead but my stomach was bothering me so I just tried to qualify for state. My goal was to run my fastest at state. Coach Hammond said that it doesn’t matter the time, just try to run to win it.”

The other member of the Reynoldsburg boys team at state was junior LaVonne Gauthney, who finished 14th in the shot

HAWKS Continued from page B1 to reach the finals for the Hawks was Destany Martin in the 100 hurdles (11th, 15.49).

“It’s a team thing, and it feels good to come out on top as a senior,” Scott said.

•The boys team tied Cincinnati North College Hill, Akron Buchtel and Collins Western Reserve for fifth with 20 points in Division II. St. Vincent-St. Mary was first (51), followed by Dayton Dunbar (44), Steubenville (25) and Versailles (23).

The 800 relay of seniors Noah Key and Omar Lane, junior Isaiah Walls and sophomore Anthony Allwein finished third (1:29.02) and the 1,600 relay of Allwein, Key, Walls and junior Matt Simpson was second (3:20.34). Also placing was Key in the 400 (third, 49.32).
