Strayer leaves for state development post City council salaries maintained, mayor earns delayed increase By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Canal Winchester development director Chris Strayer told city council Monday, June 6, that will resign effective June 10 to join the Ohio Department of Development as special projects manager for the strategic business investment division. “It’s a good opportunity,” Strayer said. “The special projects manager is in charge

of projects where more than $50 million in investment or 200 or more jobs are created. It’s bigger projects, higher-level stuff. “It’s a great opportunity to become involved in larger projects across the state.” Strayer has been at Canal Winchester for four years. His city salary is $65,000 annually. He declined to state his salary with the department of development. Strayer said Canal Winchester had done well, growing during a severe eco-

nomic downturn. “We’ve done a lot of work,” he said. “Look at the industrial park. We’ve done the hospital. And we’ve been through the big downturn. We have increased investment through a very bad downturn in the economy and that says a lot about Canal Winchester’s ability to grow.” Strayer said he did expect the state’s department of development to be priva-

Canal Pointe parcel may become preserve By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The city of Canal Winchester may dedicate about 66 acres of wooded land in the Canal Pointe industrial park as passive use recreation, preserving the wooded, swampy land that is there and saving the city from paying property taxes on it. During city council’s June 1 safe-

ty committee meeting, public works director Matt Peoples said the land was unlikely to be used for development, and making it parkland could save the city from paying property taxes. “This is a big wooded area and there is no way anything is ever going to be built on it,” Peoples said. “Not only is it wooded, it is swampy down there. We pay property taxes on it. We are

talking about making this a preservetype area, not doing anything on it.” Peoples said the city would not likely build trails, although the property could offer an interesting passive recreation opportunity. “It’s a nice nature area,” Peoples said. “We would like to dedicate it as a park.” Development director Chris Strayer said the parcel includes some po-

tentially developable land, but the expected market value is less than the cost of building an access road that would allow it to be developed. “To get there, it just doesn’t make any sense,” Strayer said. “For the cost of building a road, it does not make any sense for two building pads. For the $200,000 or the $300,000 you See CANAL POINTE, page A2

Finance director Nanisa Osborn told Canal Winchester City Council’s finance committee Monday that property valuations in Franklin County are expected to fall by an average of as much as 8 percent in the current three-year valuation cycle conducted by the county auditor. As a result, Osborn said, city revenue from property taxes is likely to fall, also. “Every three years, the value of real estate is reviewed,” Osborn said. “It is all over the state of Ohio, but counties are on different schedules, and 2011 is the year Franklin County reviews the value of all real estate.” Osborn said Franklin County Auditor Clarence Mingo had invited all municipal finance officials to a meeting last week to discuss the valuations. “They are expecting, for the first time in a number of years, that the value of residential real estate in Franklin County will go down,” she said. “Individual properties may have gone down in the past, but it was not the large stroke they are expecting it to be.” Osborn said property taxes collected by Canal Winchester are “inside millage,” a reference to constitutional authority to impose a 1-percent property tax that is allocated to various political subdivisions. Such inside millage is not subject to the provisions of House Bill 920. That state law prevents changes in valuation to properties subject to outside millage (voted property taxes in excess of the 1-percent amount) from changing how much money is collected from the voted levy. Under common circumstances of rising property values, this causes collected property tax millage to decline over time. In times of falling property values, it could cause collected millage to inSee CITY PROPERTY, page A6

Safety expo slated June 25 at Ohio Fire Academy By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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.

Strayer leaves for state development post Continued from page A1 tized, under Gov. John Kasich’s JobsOhio initiative, but did not know how that would affect his position. The city has posted the development director’s job on its website and has set a June 14 deadline for applications. According to the posting, candidates should have experience in economic and community development, business management and/or workforce development issues; strong writing, research, public communication and critical thinking skills; project and team-management experience and a demonstrated ability to

work effectively with diverse constituents. In addition, the web posting says flexibility and adaptability “are key for this position.” The starting salary range is between $61,150 and $70,000. In other business Monday, council heard the first reading of its 2012 revenue budget for submission to the county budget commission in July. A second reading is set for June 20 and a public hearing is scheduled July 5. “This budget sets the revenue for 2012,” finance director Nanisa Osborn said. “The expense side we will look at in the fall, and at that point, we will have a bet-

ter idea what we need to pursue, especially for the capital (expenditure) side of things.” The budget includes general fund revenues and expenditures of approximately $5.8 million, with a balance of $2.7 million. Other funds in excess of $1 million include six funds relating to water, sewer and storm water. Total city revenues are projected at $12.9 million and expenditures at $13.3 million, with a projected balance of $10 million. Osborn said she had proposed an expenditure of $235,000 in capital improvements to expand city office space, but final decisions would have to await

financial developments during the remainder of the year. The city’s largest general fund revenue source is the city income tax, projected to raise $4.17 million in 2012, followed by the property tax, projected to raise $365,000. The city’s largest expenditures include debt service, budgeted at $993,000; fees to the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office of $870,000; $303,000 to the department of development and $300,000 to street maintenance. Council also discussed proposed changes in compensation for the mayor and council members. By 2009 ordinance previously approved, council members

were paid $5,100 annually and the council president was paid $5,600, until Jan. 1, 2011, when council pay was increased to $6,000 annually and the council president’s pay increased to $6,500. For the next two years, council pay is expected to remain the same. Another 2009 ordinance set the mayor’s annual salary at $76,500 in 2010, increasing to $80,000 Jan. 1, 2011. During discussions Monday, council agreed to keep the mayor’s salary fixed for 2012, but to increase it to $82,500 on Jan. 1, 2013. Employee salaries are budgeted to increase by 3 percent in 2012.

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

He said another purpose of this event is to show children there is a real human underneath the fire suit. “There’s a real human under all of this protective equipment, and we’ll have the firefighter basically get dressed in front of the young people, and they’ll know this is not some monster, this is someone that is going to help you,” Flowers said.

Continued from page A1 would get out of it for the buildable acreage, you’re not going to pay for a road.” Strayer said the city owns water supply wells on the property that do have significant development value because water supply is an asset sought by many businesses. “Those wells, there are companies out there that need high capacity of water, but maybe they don’t need treated water,” Strayer said. “Having those wells there, you could plug into a company for cooling, or whatever it is could be very beneficial.” Committee chair Steve Donahue said he was reluctant to set aside the land as parkland without knowing whether the city could decide to develop it later, if the market allowed. “Ten years from now, Diley is going to be completely different from what it is now,” Donahue said. “Look at what Gender Road was 10 years ago.” In other business, the committee discussed whether to allow pool memberships to children who do not live in the Canal Winchester School District, so that they can join swim teams that use the pool. Committee member Bobbie Mershon said such students did not need to use the pool during crowded recreation times, but that they would benefit from being able to join the swim teams they wanted to join.

In the wake of a recent threeday holiday weekend, I was reminded of — among other things — the remarkable cleanliness of Ohio’s capital city. Columbus is certainly not unique in the cleanliness of its streets and the remarkable efficiency of its refuse removal. But anybody who has recently been to a “filthy city” — and we will politely not mention any names — probably has thankfully returned to Columbus and assumed that the metropolis of central Ohio has always been this efficiently clean. Of course, that assumption would not be correct. For much of the first 100 years of its history, Columbus was a pretty dirty place. This should not really be all that surprising. Through most of human history, cities have been places where large numbers of people have gathered for one reason or another. And generally, they have been more interested in those reasons — to do business, to worship, to have a good time — than they have been inclined to pick up after themselves. Columbus is a created city. There was not all that much on the “high banks opposite Franklinton at the forks of the Scioto” in 1812 except a lot of forest and a very large Indian mound that gave Mound Street its name. It was at

this pristine location that the Ohio General Assembly decided to make a new home. And even though ED only a few hunLENTZ dred people lived here at first, it did not take them long to make a mess. One of the very first ordinances passed by the Borough of Columbus in 1816 as the legislature was preparing to meet here for the first time dealt with the condition of the streets, such as they were. The ordinance of May 23, 1816, forbade “the obstruction of the thoroughfares by lumber, firewood, stable garbage, earth from cellars or any other means.” The mayor, Jarvis Pike, could impose fines if he saw fit. When one notes that the mayor was making money by removing the stumps from Statehouse Square for the governor in one of the state’s first public works contracts, it probably will not come as a shock to learn that the stumps in High Street were ignored. No one was paying to have them removed. And no one was really complying with the street-cleaning ordinance, either. See AS IT WERE, page A5

Members of the Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church who recently 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. He said the relief mission’s main task was to help with clean-up 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 … it was speechless,” Hess 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 like there was in Alabama. 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.

AS IT WERE Continued from page A4

troops at Camp Chase did not help improve city cleanliness much. A local paper complained in 1865 as the Civil War was ending that, “Our Street Commissioner, having wakened up from his Rip Van Winkle slumbers, was out yesterday with an overwhelming force, consisting of a one-legged man and two assistants, actively engaged in cleaning up … Heaven knows there is need of it.” By the early 1870s, Columbus was growing rapidly and the downtown near the Statehouse was being kept reasonably clean. The area north of town near the railyards was another matter: “The weather at present writing warrants a hope that navigation between the National Hotel (Nationwide and High Street) and the North Graveyard (North Market) will be closed today. For several days, it has been impossible to get a respectable footing anywhere in the territory described above. We doubt whether such a sea of mud has ever afflicted any other city.” Actually, many other cities had precisely the same problems. If anything, Columbus — because it was the capital city — was probably cleaner than most cities of comparable size in these years. At last in 1886, a program of relatively regular street cleaning was begun in Columbus. A fourhorse sweeper began to clean High Street six nights a week. By 1892, the service was being performed by two two-horse sweepers. But even this service was not uniform, since it was paid for by local property owners who desired it. It would take another generation for really complete street cleaning and refuse removal to come to Columbus. But by 1911 — 100 years ago — it was here. Superintendent Kautzman described his refuse-collection department for a local paper: “Our present quarters (on Short Street) in addition to the disposal plant, consist of a loading station, a commodious barn, both of brick, and a wagon shed now in the process of completion. We have 104 head of horses, 54 wagons and more than 75 men … “During the last two months, we have collected approximately 10,000 loads of garbage and rubbish. We are making the garbage pay by extracting grease and other byproducts from it … Why should we not make this profit for the municipality?” After all, who can argue with treasure from trash?

Mayor Pike soon decided not to seek re-election and entered into several private-sector businesses. His successors were not better, and may have been worse, at keeping the trash of the city under control. A few examples: On June 26, 1820, the city marshal was ordered to “remove any logs from Broad Street, west of Fourth Street, that may have grown on the ground and is fallen thereon.” There is no record that the marshal did any such thing. In 1832, the residents of lots on High Street from Broad to Main streets were ordered “to collect the dirt into convenient heaps on Saturday of each week.” There is no record that the residents complied with that order, either. “Dirt” was a major problem in the early city. This was due primarily to certain basic facts: Most of the streets were not paved. Most of the streets were being used as sewers as well as thoroughfares. Columbus was a city powered by horses and its streets were filled with what horses left behind. Put all of this together and one can see why the removal of dirt was an important issue. By 1840, Columbus was a town of more than 6,000 people and the streets — at least near Broad and High — were at least moderately clean at least some of the time. An ordinance passed that year was more modest in its intent. The long-suffering marshal was ordered to employ someone to “clean the paved gutters of the city of all dirt and filth.” Presumably, the idea here was that dirt and filth pushed into the street would be washed away after a while. How this would happen in a city without sewers was not explained. Things had not improved much by 1850. A writer informed a local newspaper of the problems of inner city travel: “On Tuesday last, a couple of friends from Cleveland, delegates to the Temperance Convention, wishing to visit the Lunatic Asylum (at Jefferson and Broad), I took them in my carriage and set out on the perilous undertaking of reaching that institution; and by trespassing on the gravel sidewalk of Mr. Kelley (near Fifth and Broad), and some others, we contrived to get within 40 or 50 rods of the Asylum gate, when we were stuck fast in the mud, and after breaking the carriage and harness in endeavoring to proceed, we were compelled to wade on foot through the mire.” Ed Lentz writes a history column The arrival of 26,000 Union for ThisWeek.

Financial finesse

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. • Find something borrowed. Friends and fam-

ily 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. When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will be in season MICHELLE on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likely have JOHNSON 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. For additional financial assistance, contact Michelle Johnson, financial center manager with Fifth Third Bank. She welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions.

City property tax collections to fall Continued from page A1 crease. “Because our levy is inside millage only, what we will receive from real estate taxes will decrease,” Osborn said. She said the final numbers will not be available from the county auditor for at least three months. “The tax commission of the state has indicated to the county auditor that they are expecting overall Franklin County residential will go down 8 percent,” Osborn said. “Some are going down a lot more, some less.” Fairfield County will not con-

duct a property valuation until 2013, Osborn said. In other business Monday, June 6, the finance committee agreed to waive $2,783 in permit fees for Casto developers for the Waterloo Crossing commercial project, reducing total projected fees from $14,336 to $11,553. “Their request is that $4,149.74 be waived, and I don’t have authority to do that,” Osborn said. Development director Chris Strayer said Casto had made some decisions to speed up work, causing it to pull additional permits when it could have pulled fewer permits and had lower total fees.

Genther, Powell take 6th at state By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When freshman Joscelyn Powell of the Canal Winchester High School girls track and field team saw opponents trip on each side of her in the Division I state final of the 300meter hurdles on June 4 at Ohio State, she momentarily lost her focus and hit two hurdles. However, Powell was able to regain her balance and composure well enough to finish sixth in 44.9 seconds behind champion Kaila Barber (41.99) of Middleburg Heights. “What caught me off-guard was I saw two girls fall, and one of them was right next to me,” Powell said. “I got distracted and I actually hit a couple of hurdles myself, which made me a little nervous. But I didn’t fall and I was fine until the last straightaway, because I was a little tired. I’m just glad I made it through the race and made the podium (by finishing in the top eight).” Powell has high hopes for the future. She was the only freshman who qualified for state in the event. “I didn’t think I’d make it this far because my times weren’t very good early in the season, but my mom (Teosha) was a hurdler in high school and she’s taught me so much,” said Powell, whose squad scored three points to tie seven teams for 55th behind champion Reynoldsburg (47). “This means so much to me and I feel blessed to be the only freshman competing (in the 300 hurdles) here.

State Track & Field Notes

Division I boys pole vault highlighted meet From staff reports 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 then-state-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 record-holders 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 OCCOhio 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.” •MORE TITLES COMING? — Both the Reynoldsburg and Hartley girls track teams used mixes of seniors and underclassmen to capture state titles June 4. The Raiders in particular should return a strong unit next year. Junior Destinee Gause won the 100 meters (11.82 seconds) and the 200 (23.84), and classmate Faith Washington placed fourth in the 100 hurdles (14.52) and third in the 300 hurdles (43.58). Of the six competitors who helped Reynoldsburg score 47 points to win a third consecutive team title, only Kacia Grant and Donyelle Brown are seniors. The Hartley girls team also scored

47 points as it won the Division II title. Seniors Aisha Cavin, Maya Pedersen and Chelsea Scott each scored in individual events and ran on relays. Five Hawks who saw action in relays last weekend are eligible to return. •GRADUATION COMPLICATIONS — As if the Uhle brothers did not have enough to worry about on June 4, Liberty’s commencement ceremony was set to begin at 10 a.m. at the Ohio Expo Celeste Center while the pole vault was scheduled for noon. Chris asked anatomy teacher Hap Helfrich to pick up his diploma and Joey had chemistry teacher Brian Lindow stand in for him. “Mr. Helfrich was one of my favorite teachers, so I asked him if he could walk for me and get my diploma,” Chris Uhle said. “He was really honored to do that for me. He texted me afterward and said, ‘I finally graduated.’” Olentangy’s graduation began at 6 p.m. After Braves senior Adaora Anunike finished ninth in the shot put (41-3 1/2), she had less than an hour and a half to drive to the Celeste Center. Alphabetically, Anunike was supposed to be the third senior to receive a diploma, but because she was participating in the state meet, the school moved her to near the end of the order. “I think they’re really looking out for me,” Anunike said. “It’s always a real nice thing to have ‘Tangy’ backing you up.” •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. •STATE-RECORD RUN — New

Blankenship’s winning vault of 17 feet tied the state record set earlier this season by Joey Uhle, who placed second at 16-6. Chris Uhle finished third at 16-0.

Albany’s Taneisha Cordell ran a statemeet record in the girls Division I 800, winning in 2:07.35. Her coach, Otis Winston, is the Division III state meet record holder in the high jump, clearing 7-0 for Toronto in 1992. •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 3,200. He

cause 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.”

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. •MEMORABLE SEASON — Gahanna Christian had its first Division III state qualifier in Paris Jenkins, who finished 12th (12.8) in the 100. Jenkins will attend Oral Roberts University, where she is considering competing for the track team. •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 be- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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

MENU by G.A. Benton precious. This translates into meals as good as I’ve recently had anywhere in town. 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

cheese. Rimming the plate of regal greens are warm prosciutto-wrapped dates that bring smooth and chewy, sweet and meaty contrasts. 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.

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. Lac Viet is open for lunch and dinner hours six days a week, closed Sunday. For more information, call 614-882-0588.
