What happens when the Burger King and Wendy batter Ronald McDonald with hamburgers in a fight for fast food supremacy? For three Hilliard boys, it marks the end of a year-long project that taught them old-fashioned writing and new technology skills.

Food Fight,” to Joan Cruickshank’s class last week. The story was among those created by Cruickshank’s students as part of a decade-long creative writing project called Writer’s Inc. “We did our book about Burger King, McDonald’s and Wendy’s,” said Cruz, who likes Burger King’s burgers and fries. “We did it about fast food wars because they’re the most popular, and we wanted to see who would win.” “Ronald was the villain because he’s the most popular one out of the three restaurants,” said Jones, who prefers McDonald’s for its burgers, fries and sundaes. “Everybody always likes to
The Norwich Township trustees approved Hilliard Fourth of July parade coordinator Jerry Baum’s funding request by a 2-1 vote at their June 6 meeting. Trustees Chuck Buck and Larry Earman voted in favor of giving Baum $1,500 for the parade, and Mike Cope voted no. “I’m here, to use your word, to ‘request’funds for our Fourth of July parade, as you’ve done Chuck Buck in past years, and we appreciate it very much,” Baum said prior to the vote. “That’s what I’m here begging for.” Baum has been coordinator of Hilliard’s Fourth of July parade for 49 years. “I get a retirement, don’t I?” he said, and Larry Earman the trustees laughed. “I’d just like to thank Jerry for all the effort he’s See NORWICH TOWNSHIP, page A8

Members of Destination Hilliard said they are excited to be more involved in one of Hilliard’s favorite events: the Fourth of July parade. In a survey conducted by the organization, 36 percent of the voters said Hilliard’s Fourth of July Celebration is the No. 1 event. Other favorites included Old Hilliardfest and the Franklin County Fair. “(The parade) is a family thing here,” said Destination Hilliard steering committee member Don Parker said. “It gives everybody the opportunity to celebrate the Fourth of July, and that’s what it’s all about.” Destination Hilliard invited Jerry Baum, who has coordinated the parade for 49 years, to collaborate at its recent meeting.

Board brings back gifted education, middle-school sports Continued from page A1 gaining agreements with the Hilliard Education Association’s (HEA) teachers and the Ohio Association of Public School Employees’ (OAPSE) non-teaching staff. The district announced the contract extensions last week, saying they would result in more than $9.6-million in savings over the next three fiscal years. According to the district, the HEA agreement includes a base pay freeze for the full length of the contract, the elimination of one step increase, and the delay of a second step increase. The OAPSE extension includes a freeze on the base pay and no step increase for its members for the first 12 months of the contract. Members will receive a 1-percent raise on the base salary and no step increase for the second year of the contract. The final six months of the contract includes a zero-percent increase on the base salary, but eligible employees will receive their step increases. Both extensions would begin June 15 and end Dec. 31, 2013. “I want to thank both the teachers and the support staff,” Superintendent Dale A. McVey said. “At a time when our community is hurting financially, our staff members stepped up in the true spirit of sacrifice.” The savings from the contract Dale McVey extensions gave the district flexibility to look at the cuts that went into effect with the recent failure of the school levy, McVey said. But a very small portion of those savings were used, he said. “The generosity by the employees with the contract offer, it creates an opportunity to bring some jobs back, and it restores some programming for the kids,” Lambert said. “I thought that was a good thing.” During the public comment portion of the meet-
BATTLE
ing, some people criticized the short notice on holding the special meeting, and asked for more transparency from the board. Others asked why only the gifted education and middle-school sports programs were considered. McVey said the timing of the meeting had to do with reassigning gifted staff and recalling teachers from the reduction-in-force list, as well as helping parents who were about to make costly athletic alternatives in the fall. Also at the meeting, the board approved an amended five-year forecast. Treasurer Brian Wilson said that $12.2 million in labor-related reductions would need to be made in fiscal year 2013 and $3.05 million more in fiscal year 2014 in order to comply with state law to have a balanced budget. “While this $9.6 million in savings is huge, it will not solve the overall financial challenges we are facing,” McVey said. “Revenue continues to decline and despite the $19.3 million in (district) savings over the last few years, we can’t cut our way out of this problem. Additional revenue will have to be identified in order to address the district’s long-term financial health.” Board members said it is likely that a levy will be on the ballot in November, but its size might depend upon the state’s budget cuts. The regular board of education meeting on June 13 has been cancelled. In other matters, the district announced June 3 the formation of a citizen-based Athletics Sustainability Committee that will undertake a study of the entire sports program and examine a payto-play option and other funding solutions prior to the winter sports season. Those interested in participating in the committee can fill out an online application to Karen_wright@hboe.org; or send by fax to (614) 771-6965; or mail it to Karen Wright, 2140 Atlas St., Columbus 43228. The deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, June 10.

Continued from page A1 “The three boys started it in the fall,” said Rebecca Sanders, English language learning teacher at Horizon, who worked with Cruz and Perez Rodriguez. “It’s been an ongoing year-long project. They were interrupted by other projects. We kept coming back to it because they kept adding to it.” Kathy Parker-Jones, technology integration specialist at Alton Darby, Avery, and Horizon Elementary, showed the boys how to do the animation photography and turned their illustrations into a movie using the programs Frame by Frame, Garage Band and iMovie. “These guys were pretty dedicated, because they were not only working during school time, but we also stayed after school for five to six hours,” said Parker-Jones. “This is 21st-century learning because of all the collaboration, the problem-solving, the technological skills that they had to put into this. With everything becoming so digital, I think kids need to be able to work in this medium, whether it’s publishing a website or sharing their thoughts in different mediums, music or video. This is where kids are.” “I think it’s good from an old-school point of view because for this to happen, it started with the old-fashioned writing process,” said Cruikshank, who had given the class an open writing assignment. “The technology part fascinates me – you can turn this into that. It certainly gave us an appreciation of what Disney and Pixar and those people do.” The managers of the three Renner Road restaurants featured in the story were invited to attend the premiere of “The Food Fight.” Burger King was a no-show, but McDonald’s and Wendy’s managers did attend, and brought goodies for the students. “I’m so impressed,” Nancy Hodosko, manager of the McDonald’s at 5410 Renner Road said afterwards. “That was great.” “You guys did an excellent job,” said Jeff Grabill, manager of the Wendy’s at 4989 Renner Road. “It was definitely a team effort, and they worked very well together.” The boys have even thought of a possible sequel: “The Revenge of the Clown.”

Credit Union’s game teaches students budgeting By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Call it a large-scale version of the game of Life: More than 400 Hilliard Weaver Middle School eighth-graders learned a lesson about economics recently, thanks in part to Hilliard-based Credit Union of Ohio. After learning the difference
between gross income and net income, and the importance of credit scores, the students played a game called “Real Money, Real World” on May 18. Presented with packets outlining their life status at the age of 25, including their job and number of children, the students visited 16 booths that asked them to make lifestyle choices like buy-
ing or renting a home, picking a second job or getting an unexpected expense. The goal was that the students would either break even or have money to spare by the end of the exercise. According to the Credit Union of Ohio, the students learned that raising a family is expensive, saving is important, excessive debt leads to stress, and education is
JULY 4 PARADE Continued from page A1 less than a month away and mostly finalized, the group went on to plan for next year — Baum’s 50th parade. Baum and Christy Clark, Destination Hilliard’s executive director, both said they would like to see more floats in the parade. Baum said Hilliard neighborhoods used to compete for “best float.” “But this town was a little bit smaller then,” he said. Clark said she wants to bring back the floats by hosting a float-building seminar with Upper Arlington next year.
“They would show us how to build them, and we could talk about different ways to construct them that’s a little less expensive,” she said. Other members said they want to maintain the welcoming spirit of the day by allowing “anyone who shows up” to participate, but discouraging political campaigning in the parade itself. Other upcoming events include the Hilliard Farm Market, every Tuesday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the corner of Main and Center streets; Relay For Life on June 11; the unveiling of a new military exhibit on June 13; and historical tours of Hilliard followed by an ice cream social and summer concert series on June 26.
important to future earnings. One student, as a result of the game, said she decided she wanted to have two children instead of four. “Real Money, Real World” was created by the Ohio State University Extension office, which coordinated the program with the Treasurer of State’s office and Credit Union of Ohio. “One of the things the credit union industry is a huge champion for is financial literacy,” said Kimberly Hudson, vice president of marketing for Credit Union of
Ohio. “Real Money, Real World is just one example of how we’re reaching out to our community to make sure that people have a better grasp on how to handle their finances. Of course, this program is just with eighth-graders, and it is part of the state mandate to make sure that our kids are educated in personal finance.” “We hope to get this program into more middle schools in the future,” said Rich Capuano, CEO of Credit Union of Ohio, in a statement. “These financial-based learning activities help students
comprehend very important life lessons.” Hudson said the biggest problem she is seeing in regard to people of all age’s personal finances is “simply being overextended on credit.” However, since the recession hit, she said, “people are really taking a step back and taking a look at where their money is going, and they’re thinking twice before applying for that loan and charging something on a credit card, but looking at other ways to pay for it, maybe saving for it first.”

Trash: An ever-present problem for a growing city 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 only a few hundred 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 thor-
oughfares by lumber, firewood, stable garbage, earth from cellars or any other means.” The mayor, Jarvis ED Pike, could impose fines if he LENTZ 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. 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.” The arrival of 26,000 Union 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 over-

Skating event appeals to top pros, local kids By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Skate for Hope is a chance for figure skating champions and future skating stars to help raise funds to battle breast cancer. “I am a breast cancer survivor and a lifelong skater,” said Carolyn Bongirno, Skate for Hope founder, who lives in Powell. “I realized that children and families are as impacted as the patient, and yet they have to sit on the sidelines and watch. I wanted to do something that would empower children to better cope if this hit anyone they knew or loved.” Skate for Hope began with just four known skaters who drove in from Cleveland and Detroit. Things have changed since then: Agents are now calling Bongirno to have their skaters participate in Skate for Hope. Fourteen past and present figure skating stars are scheduled to be at Nationwide Arena for the eighth Skate for Hope at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 18. “John Coughlin, our new United States national champion, he just Tweeted a few days ago that they were all out in Colorado Springs working on a number together to bring to the show, that would be completely unique to our show,” Bongirno said. “He Tweeted I just spent time with my Skate for Hope friends looking forward to my favorite show of the year.” The athletes don’t get paid, and they miss Father’s Day to perform, Bongirno said. “Sarah Hughes, our guest emcee, emailed me, can I skate?” Bongirno said. “I’m like, well, yes, Olympic gold medalist — yes, you may!” Sarah’s sister, 2006 Olympian Emily Hughes, will be participating in her seventh Skate for Hope. “Emily came to our show when she was a sophomore in high school, and (two weeks ago), she graduated from Harvard. Their mother Amy is a breast cancer survivor.”

Caroline Rice, an honor student at Hilliard Heritage Middle School, practices her figure-skating routine at the Dublin Chiller. She will perform at Skate for Hope at Nationwide Arena on Saturday, June 18.
Bongirno said there are also more than 100 local child skaters from central Ohio participating in Skate for Hope, including 10 each from Dublin, Grandview, Hilliard, Lewis Center, New Albany, Powell and Upper Arlington. They earned their spots in the cast, not by auditioning, but by raising money to help find a cure for breast cancer. “This isn’t a competition,” Bongirno said. “It’s a performance, and the joy of the sport with no stress and no pressure. There’s no show like it in the country where a little person out of a group lesson program can come and be on the ice with an Olympic gold medalist. But if you do a good deed, and raise money to help find a cure, you are in.” One of those children is Caroline Rice, an honor student at

Hilliard Heritage Middle School. Rice has only been skating for two years, but this is her second Skate for Hope. She said her great grand-
mother had breast cancer, and she knows others who have dealt with the disease. Rice will be part of a 10-member group performing a tambourine/dance routine on the ice to the upbeat song ‘The Sound of Sunshine.’ “We get to watch the champions and the Olympians practice, we get to meet them, watch them skate,” Rice said. “It’s a lot of fun seeing them competing for a good cause.” Rice, who practices at the Dublin Chiller, said she doesn’t have a favorite skater, although she admires the grace of Rachael Flatt and the fearlessness of Johnny Weir. Rice said she hopes to be one of the top five fundraisers so she can be introduced to the audience by name, and she can present flowers to Weir and the other champions. To help Rice reach her goal, go to www.skateforhope.org, click on the Donate tab and type in her name. Tickets to Skate for Hope cost $15 to $55. All proceeds are donated to the Stefanie Spielman Fund at the Ohio State University James Cancer Center and the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer. To date, the nonprofit has raised more than $293,000 for breast cancer research.

Patches of Light
Adults, youth volley for charity By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
An adult co-ed sand volleyball tournament to help the Hilliard charity Patches of Light spiked interest in having another one just for children. Patches’first youth co-ed sand volleyball tournament will start at 9 a.m. Sunday, June 12, at Field Sports@SportsOhio, 6314 Cosgray Road, Dublin. It costs $30 to participate, and kids will receive a T-shirt. Kids can register the day of the event. Patches of Light’s fourth adult co-ed sand volleyball tournament will start at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 18, at Flannagan’s 6835 Caine Road in Columbus. The cost is $160 per team of six players (at least two must be women). Signup is requested in advance by visiting www.patchesoflight.org. Each team is guaranteed a couple of matches in a rally scoring format, depending on the number of teams that are entered. The skill levels vary from weekend warriors to former athletes. Lindsay Fisher, a sixth-grade teacher at Hilliard Station, is in

charge of the adult tournament. She recommended players wear gym clothes, use sunscreen and stay hydrated, since the best teams could be playing most of the day. Patches of Light founder Mindy Atwood said Hilliard resident Susan Yeager and Randy Cline of Elite Volleyball Training Center in Plain City approached her last year after Yeager read an article about the volleyball tournament. They suggested having another one for kids. “I thought that would be awesome,” Atwood said. “It’s turned into something really great.”
Yeager, a nurse practitioner at the Ohio State Medical Center, said her two sons will be among the kids playing in the tournament. “Seeing both the emotional and financial devastation that can happen with critical illness, the concept of Patches of Light really stuck with me,” Yeager said. “I had been conceptualizing we could do something like this with the youth, and have a way where the children could give back to the children.” All proceeds from both events will go to Patches of Light, a nonprofit organization that for 11 years has assisted families of critically ill children. One of those children currently being helped by Patches of Light is Lucas, a 3-year-old from Hilliard who recently had a difficult surgery in Pittsburgh. Others who Patches has helped in the past are now reaching out to help his family. “He just had five (abdominal) organs transplanted, and he’s still smiling,” Atwood said of Lucas. “He represents what we’re all about, and he’s just a doll baby.”
NORWICH TOWNSHIP Continued from page A1 put in over the years,” Buck said. “The community owes you a lot of debt for all that effort.” “We do thank you for your fine service over the years,” Cope said to Baum. “It is a great event, and it makes it difficult for me to do what I have to do (voting no).” Baum said he gets donations from local businesses and the Mike Cope township to help put on the parade, and the recreation and parks department handles the fireworks. He also thanked the Hilliard Police and Norwich Township Fire departments for their help during the parade. Buck said that according to a Destination Hilliard survey, the Fourth of July parade was
the community’s favorite event. The trustees also: • Heard from Paul Wenning, special projects coordinator at Franklin County Public Health, who discussed their compliance with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (stormwater) permit. • Approved elimination of the Fire Prevention Lieutenant position, left vacant by the retirement of Ed Roberts. The matter had previously been discussed in an executive session. • Authorized township administrator Wayne Warner to enter into an agreement with Care Works for absence and disability management and Family and Medical Leave Act administration. • Discussed replacing trees that are being removed on Schirtzinger Road.

AS IT WERE Continued from page A4 whelming force, consisting of a one-legged man and two assistants, actively engaged in cleaning up ‌ Heaven knows there is need of it.â€? 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?â€? After all, who can argue with treasure from trash?

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 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. When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will be in season on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likeMICHELLE ly have more beautiful arrangements. JOHNSON 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 frequentflier miles, hotel points or even cash back. Depending on how much you spend, the rewards could help defray the cost of your honeymoon travel.

FAB 5 By Jim Fischer
jfischer@thisweeknews.com When the planned local pro-
1 duction of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance fell victim to the company’s recent restructuring, CAPA was able to secure the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players to present the same classic light opera for the same dates: June 10-12 at the Southern Theatre. (Meanwhile, CAPA and Opera Columbus will get to work on fashioning the model of a modern opera company.) Pirates is a masterwork for sure, finding the composer and lyricist at the top of their considerable game — clever, engaging, incisive and a frolicsome good time. Tickets are $102.50-$10. Call (614) 469-0939.

Robert Plant and the Band of Joy plays the Palace Theatre Monday, June 13. Plant revived the name of his pre-Zeppelin outfit for his current project, one that boasts a lineup sure to thrive in the folk-rock legacy of the original.

that he’s able to do what he does for a living. No, literally. Aside from his catchy nickname (more on that later) and one-of-a-kind licks and riffs, doing back flips and other stage gymnastics is what Shorty’s known for. Shorty started doing the flips when he was in his teens, encouraged by one of his mentors, Guitar Slim, to add some showmanship to his performances. That was in the 1950s. He’ll still do a flip today at age 71. “I just like to have myself some fun,” he told The Beat. “But you can’t get too excited, and you have to do it in time, in rhythm. If the band is going crazy and they don’t know what’s coming, well, one time I ended up with my right arm in a sling.” Shorty tells the story of his influence on a young Jimi Hendrix (Shorty would befriend and later marry Jimi’s half-sister), of whom Shorty said, “Jimi would go AWOL from his Army base to catch my local shows. He told me the reason he started setting his guitar on fire was because he couldn’t do the back flips like I did. “I’m up there to entertain and make the fans happy,” Shorty told The Beat. Born David Kearney in Houston, Texas, and raised by his grandmother in Kissimmee, Fla., Shorty attempted to follow in his uncle’s footsteps as a guitar player. As a 6-year-old, Shorty said, he would sneak into his uncle’s room once he’d gone to work and try to play the guitar, until one day he’d just about given up. “I was kicking it and slamming the strings. I told my grandmother ‘I hate that guitar,’” he said. “My grandmother asked my uncle, ‘Will you teach that boy to play

guitar before I kill him?’” Long hours on his uncle’s knee gave way to a gig with a local band — but being a kid in a band full of adults also meant he was the shortest member of the band. A club owner laid the moniker Guitar Shorty on him then, and it stuck. His reputation was growing as well, and he caught the ear of blues master Willie Dixon and that of Ray Charles, who hired him and with whom he spent a year on the road, still in his teens. In the 1950s and ’60s, Shorty toured and recorded the occasional single. He moved to the Los Angeles area in the ’70s, and played gigs with every blues star, including B.B. King, Johnny Copeland and T-Bone Walker. But it wasn’t until the ’90s that he began a serious recording career. His new CD, Bare Knuckles,
is his seventh — third for Alligator Records. “I still enjoy what I’m doing,” he said. “I’m thankful every day for the gift to be able to do this.” Shorty admitted that most of his trademark licks are recorded live rather than rehearsed. Still, the studio is no substitute for the stage. “Stuff just comes to me while I’m playing. The same song tonight and tomorrow night is not going to sound the same,” he explained. “If you do the same thing over and over, it’s like eating the same food all the time — it gets stale. “If you can’t be creative, you’re wasting your time. That’s what music’s all about.” ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Guitar Shorty, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com/blogs.
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.

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. Banquet space will be used for large parties or spillover seating during restaurant hours. Patio seating also will be added. Nanak, which got its start in Bethel Center, has been long known for its quality, natural desserts. When Soltanirad and Tajik relocated to Westerville in late 2009, Nguyen opened his 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. Lac Viet is open for lunch and dinner hours six days a week, closed Sunday. For more information, call 614-882-0588.

in the University District, he now operates Johnny Oak’s Cajun BBQ at the corner of High and Gay streets downtown. Oak said he’s there from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. His specialties are blackened beef brisket, pulled pork, rib tips — offered as sandwiches or part of a platter — and a smattering of sides, which change frequently. Incidentally, Oak said he got his start on a food truck at Central and McKinley avenues on the West Side of Columbus. Great China has opened in the old Fuddruckers location at 3586 W. Dublin-Granville Road, just east of Sawmill Road. The place offers a full Chinese menu (and a traditional menu for those who ask), plus a few Thai and Japanese dishes, said manager Brad Tsai. Great China seats 120 in roughly 5,000 square feet of space. The restaurant has a full liquor license. It is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614336-2465.
After 21 years in business, the Wine Vault on Sawmill Road has closed. The last day was Saturday, June 4.

Community briefs Community gardens now ready for use Two of Hilliard’s three new community gardens are ready for use, according to a city announcement. The gardens are located in Roger A. Reynolds Municipal Park behind the Senior Center and at the water tower north of the Estates at Hoffman Farms. The water tower site has 30 fullsize (30-foot x 40-foot) garden plots at $70 per plot. A gravel drive and parking lot adjacent and south of the water tower has been constructed. The Municipal Park garden has 48 plots – 16 half-size (15-foot x 40-foot) at $45 per plot, and 32 quarter-size (15-foot x 20-foot) at $30 per plot. There is parking adjacent to the site. A third site, on Leap Road, will have all three sizes of garden plots, but is not yet ready for use. Garden plots are available to Hilliard residents on a first-come, first-served basis by applying online at www.hilliardohio.gov or at City Hall and the Community Center in Municipal Park.
cently announced. Butler has spent eight years in the district. She was a kindergarten and first-grade teacher at Ridgewood Elementary for four years, a kindergarten teacher at Washington Elementary for three years, and most recently was an intervention teacher at Hilliard Horizon Elementary. Butler also spent a year at a school in Belfast, Northern Ireland, as part of a teacher exchange program. Butler earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees and a principal license from Ohio State University. In a statement, superintendent Dale A. McVey said of Butler, “I know she is excited about this opportunity to join the Britton family, and her experience with our school district has set the stage for high expectations related to student achievement.” Hilliard schools spokeswoman Amanda Morris said district administrators Linda Romano (director of professional development) and Jill Menchhofer (director of elementary education) had filled in as principals at Britton since May after the death of Rob Spicer.
A world of possibilities is right around the corner. A new AT&T store has opened in Columbus.
Opening day crowd makes splash at pools Davidson dramatist Hilliard’s two outdoor swim- wins festival prize ming pools had a great opening weekend, according to director of recreation and parks Steven Mazer. “We had well over 3,000 people at the aquatic center on Memorial Day and between 200-250 people at the east pool,” Mazer said. “That was attributable to it being so hot and sunny, and everybody had finished their graduation parties, so they had Monday to relax. It was a perfect day to go to the pool.” An opening weekend concert at the aquatic center with local group Swing’s the Thing also generated positive feedback, Mazer said. Also performing this summer from 6-8 p.m. at “Diving with the Decades” are: The Buckeye Tailgaters, June 10; Unsung Heroes, June 17; Red Hot Rhythm Revue, June 24; John Schwab, July 1; Crescent Fresh, July 8; and Swagg, July 15.

Boys Tennis
Walton resigns as coach of ’Cats By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Hilliard Davidson High School boys tennis coach Shawn Walton was with his team during the OCC-Central Division tournament on May 7, but his mind was somewhere else. He unfolded a picture of his daughter, Aisley, whom he and his wife, Suzi, had adopted in April. “This is the longest I’ve been away from her,” Walton said. Walton may have known then that this was going to be his last season with the Wildcats. He met with the players on June 1 to announce that he was stepping down as coach after five seasons. This spring, the Wildcats finished 7-9 overall and placed fourth in the OCC-Central at 43. “Making the decision not to coach was very difficult. It’s something that I have always done and you never want to let anyone down,” Walton said. “It came down to my family and wanting to spend time with my daughter and giving 100 percent of my time to her. That part of the decision was easy.” Walton replaced longtime coach Kim Shepherd, who guided the Wildcats for 31 years. During Walton’s tenure, Davidson compiled a 46-36 record and sent two doubles teams — Corey Harvey and Lynn Roose in 2007 and Trent Searfoss and Ben McClarren in 2010 — to the Division I state tournament. Prior to arriving at Davidson, Walton coached the Upper Arlington boys junior varsity in 1987 and the UA girls varsity team from 1988-93 and from 2001-03. During his second stint with the UA girls, the Golden Bears were 71-0 and won three Division I Ohio Tennis Coaches Association state titles. “Taking over for Kim was an honor. He has been around coaching forever and I have a lot of respect for him,” Walton said. “I took over the program and there were sons of people who I grew up playing with in Lynn Roose and Corey Harvey. Even though I wasn’t that familiar with the Hilliard tennis program other than teaching at Hilliard Station, I felt really welcomed.” Walton’s biggest win during his tenure with the Wildcats came at the expense of his alma mater: a 3-2 victory over UA on April 27, 2007, the program’s first win over the Bears. The loss was UA’s first in league play since joining the OCC in 1982. “Obviously, beating Upper Arlington for the first time in school history was a special accomplishment,” Walton said. “We tried to keep it low key, but we realize what a big deal that was.”

Hoover takes second in 1,600 By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Senior Jessica Hoover of the Hilliard Davidson High School girls track and field team is known more for setting and maintaining a pace than she is for outsprinting opponents near the end of races. So when Hoover found herself battling Medina junior Anna Boyert for second place during the last lap of the 1,600
meters in the Division I state meet June 4 at Ohio State, she thought she was in trouble. Boyert had passed Hoover near the end of the 1,600 in last year’s state meet en route to finishing second while Hoover finished fourth. But this season, Hoover surprised herself by outsprinting Boyert over the final 200 meters to finish second in a program-record 4 minutes, 54.6 seconds behind Springboro’s Carly Hamilton (4:48.1) and ahead of Boyert
(4:55.86). “Carly really took it out fast and I did my best to stay with her, but she didn’t slow down at all, so once we got to the last lap I turned my focus to getting second,” Hoover said. “Anna has great leg speed and I remember her passing me here last year, and my coaches told me not to let it come down to the last 200 with her. But it came down to that again and I was expecting a huge kick from her, so I kicked as strong as I could.
That’s the best kick I’ve ever ended a race with and beating her shows that I have a good kick as well. This was an awesome way to end my track career.” Even though Hoover was exhausted after running the 1,600 on a hot and humid day, she returned to compete in the 3,200 and finished 14th (11:37.55) behind champion Michelle Thomas of Cincinnati Glen Este (10:48.32).

Jaguars’ Darling earns seventh in 100 meters By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Heading into the Division I state meet, junior Sam Darling of the Hilliard Bradley High School boys track and field team put in extra training in the 200 meters, believing the race represented his best chance at reaching the finals. So, he was surprised but not disappointed when he placed sevBy Laurie Stevenson/ThisWeek enth in the 100 (11.07 seconds) and 11th in the 200 (22.05) on Bradley’s Sam Darling (right) tries to keep pace with June 4 at Ohio State. Beechcroft’s Dai’Ron Glover in the 100 meters in the DiviSee TENNIS, page C2 sion I state meet June 4 at Ohio State. Darling was seventh. “It’s kind of surprising that I
made the finals in the 100 and not the 200 because I put so much emphasis on the 200 (last) week,” Darling said. “I was thinking that I had a better shot at making the podium (top eight) in the 200, but I don’t mind because I like the 100, too, and making it to the podium is all I really wanted. I guess it doesn’t matter which race as long as I made it there.” Darling became the first member of his second-year program to reach the state podium. “Of course I wanted to do better, but I just didn’t have my form
down,” said Darling, whose squad scored two points to tie Medina Highland and Westerville Central for 69th behind champion Cincinnati LaSalle (36). “But I might have enjoyed my experience more than some of the other kids who are more into track, because I came here and had fun.” Terell Stanford, Jacob Markusic, Eric Bridgett and Darling finished 10th (3:21.63) in the 1,600 relay to miss reaching the finals by one position.

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 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.

Liberty’s Joey Uhle (left) and his twin brother, Chris, enjoy the moment on the awards podium with champion Jake Blankenship of Gahanna after the trio waged a battle in the pole vault competition during the Division I state meet June 4 at Ohio State. Blankenship’s winning vault of 17 feet tied the state record set earlier this season by Joey Uhle, who placed second at 16 feet, 6 inches. Chris Uhle finished third at 16-0.
“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 ran in relays are eligible to return. •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 Albany’s Taneisha Cordell ran a state-meet record in the girls Division I 800, winning in 2:07.35.

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 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. •REMINISCING — Grandview coach Brian Schoch watched with pride as the 1,600 relay from Minster stood atop the awards podium after winning in 3:22.11 in the Division III boys meet. “I anchored the (1,600 relay) at Minster 16 years ago when we won the (event at state),” Schoch said. “It was really fun to watch that and remember the good times we had.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

GIRLS Continued from page C1 Last year at state, Hoover finished sixth in the 3,200 (11:01.61) behind Thomas (10:46.59). “I felt sick in my stomach after the 1,600, so I just tried to stay with the pace and finish somewhere in the top eight to make the podium,” said Hoover, whose squad scored 12 points to tie three other teams for 17th place at state behind champion Reynoldsburg (47). “I stayed up there for a while, but I ran out of fuel on the last lap. I didn’t have anything left, but I’m proud that I ran both events and gave it my best effort.” Caroline Hildebrand finished 13th in the 3,200 (11:36.45). “I didn’t get what I wanted, which was making the podium, but I tried really hard for it, so I’m happy,” Hildebrand said. In her first appearance at state, senior Taylor Brown finished fifth in the pole vault (11 feet) behind champion Alex Wasik (12-2) of Medina. Seven days earlier, Brown had won the pole vault at regional with a program-record height of 11-9 1/2. “This wasn’t my best effort, but I’m happy to make the podium, even though I think I could have done better,” Brown said. “It was fun competing in front of all these people. I just tried to not let the heat affect me.” Lauren Hoover, Elsa Saelens, Hildebrand and Jessica Hoover finished 14th in the 3,200 relay (9:32.22) behind champion Mason (9:13.09).

“It’s hard not to get boxed in at state because there are so many good runners here,” Lauren Hoover said. “But we ran a good race and we’re proud of what we were able to do here.” •Bradley’s 400 relay of Emily Lebsock, Kayla Malik, Kate Johnston and Sydney Rings was disqualified in the Division I state meet after Lebsock handed the baton to Malik past the exchange zone. “I ran up too fast on Kayla and she wasn’t ready to go, so I slowed down and then she sped up and I couldn’t catch her before we got out of the exchange zone,” Lebsock said. “It was a bad way to end my senior year, but at least I got to compete here. It means a lot to us to be the first people in our team’s (two-year) history to compete at state.”

“I passed a couple of people, but we just barely missed it,” Darling said. “But we set a new school record here in the 1,600, so we’re happy.” Matthew Bryant, Jeffie Johnson, Blake Scipio and Stanford placed 12th (43.29) in the 400 relay. •Making his first appearance in the Division I state meet, Darby sophomore Caleb Day finished 14th in the 110 hurdles (40.35). “I felt a lot of pressure because there’s so many great athletes and it’s such a big crowd,” Day said. “It was nerve-wracking because I’m the only person from Darby here. But my family came to support me and my coaches kept me company, so it was a good experience.” Day competed in honor of his father, Alex, who never reached the state meet but taught his son how to run the hurdles. “My goal was to make it here and my dad is really happy for me because he’s the one who taught me what I know,” Day said. “I’ve never experienced an atmosphere like this and I loved it. This experience makes me want to work hard so I can make it back and do better next year.” •Davidson’s 400 relay of Damarcus Nelson, Derek Cox, Chris Harris and Phillipie Mot-

Chair’s perspective
Small business summit a great learning experience I had the tremendous fortune of attending the America’s Small Business Summit, sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in Washington, D.C., from May 23-25. Aside from meeting many small business owners and hearing their perspective on the economy and business issues, I was able to listen to and interact with some fantastic speakers on diverse issues. Two of my favorite speakers were Bill Graham, adjunct professor at Seton Hall and owner of Graham Corporate Communications, and Gen. Stanley McChrystal, former commander of U.S. and International Forces in Afghanistan. Their topics were on improving your likeability and on leadership, respectively. I found that their insights were farreaching and certainly helpful no matter what business you’re in. I’d like to share some of their major points. On likeability: We all know eye con-
tact is important; it ensures that the speaker knows you’re listening and that they have your full attention. However, when you give your full atHEATHER tention to someone, KECK you’re treating them like they’re special. People remember how you made them feel (credit: Maya Angelou), so making them feel special is an important aspect in building trust. People remember through hope, fear, love, and other emotions – we aren’t computers and we don’t have recall based on logic no matter how much we may want that to be true. In order to deliver a message that is based on trust, your message needs to explain to your listener how you intend to help them. Other important factors include
knowing how to deliver a compliment: notice an improvement, recognize a contribution, or include a specific example. Managers point out problems – leaders point out contributions. Anyone can benefit from these insights as our speaker pointed out: His 9-year-old daughter was given a free donut at Dunkin’ Donuts just by telling the man at the cash register that he does really important work and that she was glad he was there to provide her with her favorite donut. It made a difference in his day! On leadership: Gen. McChrystal’s presentation was military-based as you might expect. He drew on similarities that were both humorous and surprising between running an army and running a business. However, his message was certainly one that spans any operation, and he boiled it down to three key aspects. 1) Leaders have to actually solve
problems. If you are being brought a problem, it’s not because it’s an easy fix. If it were easy – the guy bringing it to you would have done it. So, it’s probably messy but a true leader rolls up their sleeves and gets into the action, he doesn’t delegate it to someone else. So, dig in and get to work – don’t leave it for someone else. 2) Leaders have to implement change. Anyone can talk about making a change, but very few have the courage to initiate it and put that change into action. I’m a big proponent of this point. Talking or complaining about the changes that need to be made is not helpful nor is it leadership. Come to the table with possible alternative solutions, brainstorm in a thoughtful and helpful way to fix the problem. It’s the difference between those who lead and those who follow.
3) Leaders embrace the human factor. The personal connections we make with those around us are what binds us together and makes us want to work in cooperation. Leaders recognize that everyone has both positive and less positive work qualities – embrace and enhance the positive qualities in each person around you and you will have a team that is glued together and strong. He calls this plywood leadership and these key points create the basis of his own leadership principles. Thoughtfully considering your own leadership style, do you have room to be more likeable? Can you lead just a little bit better? Reflecting on your own strengths and weaknesses in leadership and likeability will help you in every aspect of your business and life. Heather Keck is the chair of Hilliard Area Chamber of Commerce.

said, “It still feels like a recession,” which is up from 28% making this choice in the previous poll. Our survey, while unscientific, is supported by others that are: The NFIB small business survey indicated optimism declined again in April, and the Tatum, LLC survey has been reporting more red arrows than green ones all year. Clearly, overall small business economic sentiment has eroded. But sentiment shmentiment! As the CEO of your small business, it’s your job to balance the force of entrepreneurial optimism with the gravity of economic reality. That means: • Giving every customer the maximum opportunity to do business with you while serving that customer with maximum efficiency. • Combining your service “special sauce” with every technological innovation you can find. • Keeping your team motivated and inspired while running the most deliberate, disciplined and methodical business marathon of your life. • Believing that it’s okay to fall in love with what you do, but not with how you do it. Write this on a rock ... Remember the ten most powerful two-letter words: “If it is to be, it is up to me.”

After the technical end of the Great Recession in the summer of 2009, I predicted the letter that would most accurately describe this recovery is not a “U,” a “L,” or even a “W,” but rather, a “M” — for marathon. After working in the six previous recessions, everything pointed to a very long and grinding economic period to me. Alas, my prediction has come to pass. Seven quarters into the not-so-great recovery, GDP for Q1 2011 came in at only 1.8%, which caused economists, who had earlier projected 2011 growth of at least 3% for the year, to lower their expectations. We wanted to know what our small-business audience thought about the economy, so for the third time in a year we used our online survey to ask, “What does the economy look like for your small business for 2011?” Here are the three options, with each response followed by how similar questions were answered previously. First, those who said, “We're experiencing solid growth and expect the same through 2011,” represented 14% of respondents. In the previous survey, 29% were this optimistic. Second, the next choice, “Our growth is similar to the national trend - up, but barely,” was chosen by 40% of our sample, which is very close to the 43% choosing a similar option in the previous survey. Third, unfortunately, 46% of our respondents

Shoppers stroll around one of last year’s Hilliard Farm Market.
Hilliard Farm Market now open every Tuesday The second year for the Hilliard Farm Market has began at the corner of Main and Center Streets every Tuesday and will run through August. The farm market is open from 4 - 7 p.m. This project started as a project of Leadership Hilliard which is a program committed to its
mission to enhance the Hilliard community by developing and cultivating current and potential leaders. The purpose of the Hilliard Farm Market is to offer the community the opportunity to purchase locally grown produce directly from farmers. The market
will enhance the economic viability of our local farmers while providing a variety of fresh and nutritional food choices. The market also helps further the development of the Hilliard community by providing an activity which fosters social gathering and interaction.

Is your organization trying to find a way to reduce costs? Save money now by being reviewed for the Hilliard Area Chamber workers’ compensation group rating discount program. Workers’ compensation premiums can be costly in today’s economy and group rating is still one of the BEST options available to reduce that expense upfront. If you explored our plan in the past, it’s time to take a second look. You owe it to yourself to explore the options and savings a membership entitles you to receive. If you participate in another group rating program, you may not be saving as much as possible and you may be paying extra dues to belong to another group. If you are reviewing savings quotes from other group administrators, please make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Our group administrator, CompManagement, Inc. takes great pride in the accuracy and consistency of our savings forecast, while others may tend to promote inflated savings figures in an effort to secure additional business. It should also be mentioned that not all group administrators offer the same level of service (not all
service companies are capable of providing your organization with the full array of discount programs currently available as well as services related to claims management, cost containment, safety & loss control, rating, and hearing representation). Therefore, it is critical that you align yourself with a program that has a group administrator that is able to meet all of your current, as well as future needs. Please review other quotes thoroughly to ensure that you are comparing similar discounts and service offerings. CompManagement is currently in the process of reviewing employers for our group discount program for the 2012 rate year. To receive a free, no obligation savings quote contact CompManagement’s Customer Support Unit at (800) 825-6755, option 3 to request an analysis by phone. As a service to our members, CompManagement will not only evaluate your organization for participation in group rating, but all alternative rating programs that would be beneficial to your organization’s bottom line. We urge you to take advantage of this tremendous member benefit!
