Food pantry sees increased need

Issue 48

Revenue to keep district in black through 2015-16

By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM Even though the national unemployment rate recently fell below 8 percent for the first time since 2009, the Dublin Food Pantry is seeing a growing need for assistance. The Dublin Food Pantry has seen 30 to 50 new families seeking help each month, said Executive Director Nancy Johnson. The pantry has seen its largest numbers over the past few years and Johnson said things aren’t getting better. “To date (numbers) have not gone down, but hopefully they will,” she said. “We’re the only business that wishes they had less customers.” New families seeking aid from the Dublin Food Pantry vary and Johnson said she’s seeing older and younger people within the school district that need help. “There are a couple of things impacting it,” Johnson said. “One is the end of seasonal work so a lot of people that are employed in the landscaping industry in the summer months are now going by the wayside,” she said. “We’re seeing some older people. I think the money they had counted on for retirement isn’t getting interest and their money is starting to run out. The rest is just unemployment.” Providing food has also been getting difficult as food prices have increased. “Wholesale food prices are going up because of gas and the drought,” Johnson said, adding that price increases has touched all areas. While demand is increasing,

By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM A five-year forecast was approved by the Dublin Board of Education last week that showed a deficit by the 2014-15 fiscal year.

Dublin City Schools will ask Revenues expected to voters to approve a com- drop before making a bined 6.4-mill operating levy slow recovery, page A12 and $15.87-million bond issue – Issue 48 in Franklin County – on the Nov. 6 ballot.

ISSUE 48 FROM >> A1 maintenance, equipment and technology around the district in addition to improvements to the Davis Middle School commons area, the traffic flow at Riverside Elementary School and new HVAC and fire alarm systems at Deer Run Elementary School. If approved by voters, Issue 48 would cost homeowners an additional $213 per $100,000 assessed home value annually. The five-year forecast approved by the board of education last week did not include any potential levy funds, per state law, Osborne said. “It was without because we cannot submit it to the state with any pending issue,” he said. Without Issue 48, the district’s ending cash balance is expected to decrease from $25.8 million in the 2012-13 fiscal year to $6.3 million the

next year and then go into deficit spending by $21 million in the 2014-15 fiscal year. The ending cash balance would likely be less, Osborne said, because the district might have to use general fund revenue to cover items that would have been covered by the bond portion of Issue 48. “When you look at the fiveyear forecast as is for 2014-15, (the ending cash balance) is $6.3 million,” he said. “That would be reduced by probably $1.5 million to $2 million for items we include in the bond issue, but wouldn’t have the bond issue for.” Dublin City Schools usually funds construction, improvements and maintenance through bond funds, but would have to fund any needed improvements through the general fund, Osborne said. “About $2 million would have to come out of that to cover items we right now cover

in bond funds,” he said. If Issue 48 is approved by voters next month, Osborne said, the ending cash balance would increase to $33.4 million at the end of the 3013-14 fiscal year, $23.9 million in 2014-15 and $8.7 million at the end of the 2015-16 school year. “That’s including collections that would start in January of 2013 should the levy pass in November,” Osborne said. The district tries to keep a 30-day cash balance on hand, but is expected to fall below that despite levy passage or failure. Osborne said it wouldn’t be unusual to fall below the 30day cash balance, even if Issue 48 would pass. “That’s typical at this point,” he said. “We’re still three years out. “The 30-day cash balance is around $15.5 million but (the $8.7 million ending cash balance) is four years until we get to that point,” Osborne said. “It’s very consistent with where we usually are with millage when we ask for a levy.” Issue 48 follows a failed combined bond and levy issue proposed in 2011. Last fall, the district asked voters to approve a 7.2-mill operating levy and $25-million bond issue. After the rejection, the district cut about $7.1 million from its budget. If Issue 48 is rejected by voters Nov. 6, the district is planning to institute $10 million in cuts.

Officer’s actions lead to his firing A Dublin police officer was fired last week as an investigation into a relationship with a teenage girl ended. Tom Seeling was fired Oct. 9 after “the investigation found no evidence of criminal behavior related to this relationship, but recommended administrative disciplinary action for serious misconduct contrary to the core values and standards of conduct of the Dublin Division of Police,” a statement from the police division said. An investigation into Seeling’s behavior began after he allegedly sent a shirtless picture of himself to a 16-yearold girl. Seeling was removed from his official duties during the investigation and reassigned to administrative work at the Dublin Justice Center.

FROM >> A1 the community has stepped up to help, Johnson said. The Dublin Foundation recently notified the pantry a grant request will be fulfilled to help provide more meat to families during the winter months, Johnson said. “We put in a grant with the Dublin Foundation because we are having to limit our quantities of meat,” she said, noting the grant will help the “More Servings, Serving

More” program. Individuals within the community are also stepping up to help. According to Johnson, one volunteer has committed to providing toothpaste to the pantry each month. Having toothpaste will free up funds to spend elsewhere, she added. “For the first time we’ll have a food drive at a football game,” Johnson said. “Kiwanis is spearheading it and will have vans there. They’re asking not only Coffman, but Upper Arlington peo-

ple to bring food.” Drama students from across the Dublin City School district will also collect food through Trick or Treat so Kids Can Eat Oct. 31, Johnson said. They’ll collect food during trick or treating and take it to the Dublin Food Pantry to be sorted and stocked. Major needs at the Dublin Food Pantry include peanut butter, jelly, hamburger and tuna helper, tuna and other canned meat, spaghetti, pasta, boxed potatoes and hearty soups.

City manager’s notes

Residents letters keep interchange project a priority for MORPC Your letters and emails are making a difference. Thanks to the continued support of our residents and businesses, the Interstate-270/U.S. Route 33 interchange has remained a top priority on the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission's project list, which has been forwarded to the state’s Transportation Review Advisory Council. The project to alleviate congestion at the interchange received tremendous and unprecedented support with more than 180 emails sent and numerous letters submitted by Dublin businesses and area organizations. We encourage you to continue to stay up-to-date on this project and

MARSHA GRIGSBY show your support by visiting 27033interchange. org. The city has been working with other local governments, including the city of Marysville and Franklin and Union counties, to address the nearly 40-year-old failing interchange that is ranked in the top 100 locations in the state for crashes due to congestion and outdated freeway design. Currently, an estimated $1.2 billion in economic activity occurs in the surrounding area. It is projected that $2.3 billion in future investment will be made and

32,000 new jobs created over the next 20 years, making the I-270/US 33 interchange vital to our local economy. Phase 1 of the overall interchange replacement will rebuild the northbound to westbound ramp, which is estimated to cost approximately $45 million. The overall project cost is estimated between $130 million and $150 million. ODOT and the City of Dublin partnered to conduct a required planning and environmental analysis at a cost of $2.5 million. This study includes a stakeholder advisory committee and public meetings to ensure the public provides input on the proposed solution.

Construction of Phase 1 is slated to begin in 2017 with completion in 2018, pending availability of federal funds. Dublin and its partners on the project are continuing to pursue federal funds and other potential sources to finish the interchange replacement and widen US 33 between the interchange and Post Road/US 33. To ensure project readiness, Dublin has earmarked $14.35 million in its Capital Improvement Program to match federal funds needed for final design and construction. It is our goal that when the interchange is improved, freight will move more efficiently, ensuring that agri-

cultural, auto manufacturing and other goods moving through this interchange daily can continue to get to local, state and global customers on time and on budget. The cities of Dublin and Marysville and Union County also have made a financial and community commitment to provide safe, efficient transportation to our residents and businesses.

Two Dublin police officers were recognized at a recent Dublin City Council meeting. Lt. Steve Farmer was recognized last week for graduating from the 10-week FBI National Academy. “It’s a leadership and management course the FBI puts on for law enforcement from all over the world,” Dublin Police Chief Heinz von Eckartsberg said. “It’s a great honor and we’re very proud of him.” Farmer, a 15-year Dublin Police Department veteran, is the agency’s support services commander. Council members also recognized Detective Scott Davis who was awarded the FOP/CrimeStoppers Officer of the Month award for September. Davis received the honor for his work on a homicide in Dublin in February and in a highprofile scam case, von Eckartsberg said.

Balancing act

Foam topper unbundles into cautionary tale There are no accidents. And so it must be that the 4-inch memory foam mattress topper sprawled across the floor of my garage is there for a reason. The obvious one is that more than one guest, including grown children I’d like to see as often as possible, have commented that the guest bedroom mattress is a “characterbuilding experience.” But I think the real, deeper reason – timed just before the holidays – was to remind me of the perils of online shopping. “Any kind of topper would be fine,” my daughter said. “Just one of those egg crate things would be an improvement.” But a run to a local store proved that finding “one of those egg crate things” is not so simple. Some have crates deep enough to hold robin eggs. Some could hold ostrich eggs. Some have regular old foam. Some have memory foam reportedly developed by NASA. And all but the robin egg variety are pretty darned expensive. “I’m sure,” I muttered, leaving the store, “that I can find something cheaper online.” And voila! That is exactly what happened. For a fraction of the ostrich egg cost, I saw one that was four inches of solid memory foam. No holes at all! What a bargain! The only drawback – slight, I thought at the time – was that I could not see it, feel it, or ask questions about it, only picture it in pristine glory on an online bed. Quickly, I popped it in my cart and pressed, “Submit.” And so, when the very compact but weighty box of mattress topper arrived a few days later, with instructions to “air it out” for 48-72 hours to release any noxious fumes (noxious fumes?) and expand it to its full shape and size, I

decided the perfect place was the garage. Who, after all, wants noxious fumes airing PAT into a second-floor bedSNYDER room? Me, as it turns out. Because when I’d snipped through a fortress of plastic wrap, a cross between the Incredible Hulk and the Pillsbury Doughboy emerged. The cream-colored puff inflated like those magical seahorses they sell in novelty shops. (“Just add water and we grow 1,000 times our original size.”) It is folly to save the box for possible return. I could no more stuff the topper back in it than put the proverbial toothpaste back in the tube. My plan had been to toss it on top of one of the cars for a complete airing. It was, after all, only foam. But there was no tossing. I could barely lift up a corner to straighten it out. In the end, I had to back out a car to make room. The only consolation is that when I called my son to rescue me, he was unfazed. “Of course I can get it upstairs,” he said. “It’s only foam.” Apparently, this rush to happy assumption is genetic. I don’t know if the laborious trek upstairs, still to come at this writing, will cure him of online ordering. But the only reminder I need to be more cautious is a new three-word Post-It sign by my computer. It says: “Sleep On It.” Balancing act author Pat Snyder is a northwest Columbus resident and life-balance speaker and coach. Find her online at PatSnyderOnline. com.

As it were

Men like Frazier made hotels run Even after all these years of looking into the past of this city, it never ceases to amaze me what one might find while looking for something else. This is usually referred to as the “Serendipity Effect” and this unexpected discovery of interesting things is part of what makes history a pleasure as well as a profession. In this case I was on the trail of the Chittenden family and one of their many ventures. And they certainly had more than a few of them. In doing so, I came across one of those people who often get missed in the story of Columbus. We readily remember the people who create things, invent things or build things of one sort or another. But once these things are created, invented or built – who keeps them running? First a little background about the Chittendens, who make much of this happen. The Chittenden family had been in America for a long time. Asahel Chittenden arrived in Columbus when the new capital city of Ohio was less than 20 years old with his wife Harriet Treat Chittenden. By the time their son Henry was born in 1836, Columbus was a city of 5,000 served by both the Ohio Canal and the National Road. Asahel Chittenden had a house near East Broad Street on South Third Street and Henry Chittenden grew up there with his six siblings. The Chittendens did well in the new country. Asahel Chittenden made money with a variety of business ventures and was able to send his sons to good schools and marry his daughters into wealthy families. Henry Chittenden was much like his father and followed him into business in Columbus. Investing in railroads, streetcar lines and local industries, Henry Chittenden was always looking for a new opportunity. In 1873 he acquired the land at the northwest corner of Spring and High Streets. Occupying the site was a building previously used by a variety of businesses. He took the existing building at Spring and High in 1889 and added two floors to it. When he was done he opened it as the Chittenden Hotel. The next year

it was destroyed by fire. Henry Treat Chittenden was a very persistent sort of person. On the site of the burned-out hotel, he built yet another hotel. Taking up most of a city ED block it offered superb LENTZ dining and excellent rooms as well as two adjacent theatres. It opened in 1892. On Nov. 13, 1893, the new hotel burned to the ground in one of the more spectacular fires in the city’s history. Taking this second loss in stride, he immediately began work on yet another hotel on the site. Perhaps taking a cue from the Great Southern Fireproof Hotel that was constructed shortly after the Chittenden Hotel fire, Henry Chittenden built the third Chittenden to be as fireproof as possible. It proved to be just that and survived until well into the 1970s. Like most of the better hotels of its era, the Chittenden operated on the American Plan where one price paid for a room as well as three meals a day. And what meals they were. A sample Sunday menu from the first decade of the Twentieth Century included main courses of Broiled Bluefish, Terrine of Lobster Newburg, Lamb Cutlets, Tenderloin of Beef, and Stuffed Capon. And all of that was supplemented with elaborate appetizers, side dishes and desserts. It was a truism of the times that anyone could build a hotel but the hotel’s success was measured by its cuisine. And who made sure that cuisine and the service that accompanied it was the best it could be? Well, it wasn’t Henry Chittenden. It was a man like Thomas Frazier. Thomas Frazier was the Headwaiter at the Chittenden until his death in 1903 at the age of 51. Over the course of a long career he had served as Headwaiter at a variety of the best hotels in America. They included the Kimball in Atlanta, the Ocean House in Newport, R.I., the

In the course of his career he witnessed what once was simply an occupation become a profession, as the best of America’s hotel restaurants came to offer service comparable to their European counterparts. And the people who made that happen were men like Thomas Frazier. At the time of his death, a memorial to his life and work was published by his friends in the Head and Second Waiters’ National Benefit Association. It read in part, “By his death the young men of the present generation have lost a true friend. Mr. Frazier did everything in his power to stimulate the young men with whom he came in contact, for he was a firm believer in the efficacy of good example and good advice.” Thomas Frazier was a special sort of person. He, and many people like him, are not as well remembered as men like Henry Treat Chittenden. But perhaps they should be.

Case in point

Crime series: Armored-car guard’s murder partially solved Editor’s note: Retired special agent Harry W.Trombitas has agreed to write a series about prominent central Ohio cases he investigated during his FBI career. The first installment is about the 1997 murder of Renold Williams. It was Wednesday, Nov. 26, 1997, the day before Thanksgiving. Renold Williams, a 44-year-old Columbus resident and a veteran who recently had returned from Bosnia, where he served his country with distinction, kissed his wife and kids goodbye and left for his job at the Metropolitan Armored Car Co. Williams, a 19-year employee, had risen through the ranks of the company and was a trusted supervisor. Certainly, plans for how he and his family would spend Thanksgiving Day together were running through his mind as he made his way to work. They had a lot to be thankful for, and Thanksgiving was a special day. Within hours, those plans would be shattered. When Williams arrived for work, he learned that another employee who served as the messenger (delivery person) in an armored truck slated to make deliveries that morning had called in sick. Williams volunteered to fill in. At about 11:30 a.m., the truck approached National City Bank at 2594 E. Main St. in Bexley. Because the parking lot was full, the driver had to park the truck a little farther back in the lot than usual and was not able to see the front door of the bank. Williams exited the back of the truck by himself, picked up the white can-

vas bag for National City and walked toward the front door to make the delivery. Inside the bag were $10,000 in personal and business checks to be HARRY deposited into variTROMBITAS ous accounts and $2,000 in cash. Just as Williams was about to enter the front door, witnesses observed a man wearing dark clothing approach Williams. Without warning, he raised a dark-colored semiautomatic pistol and fired one shot into Williams’chest. As Williams collapsed, the shooter reached across Williams’body, grabbed the bag and then ran toward a waiting blue Ford Escort driven by a larger male. The shooter jumped into the passenger side and the car fled at a high rate of speed. Several witnesses attempted to follow the getaway vehicle, which had a temporary tag, but lost it in traffic. Back at the bank, witnesses called police. Several citizens, including bank employees, tried to provide medical assistance and comfort to a dying Williams until police and medical personnel arrived. Williams, the veteran who served in dangerous places outside this country and survived, died in his homeland at the hands of one of his own countrymen for a measly $2,000. As police and FBI agents responded to the scene and descriptions of the getaway vehicle were broadcast over police radios, a motorist at a stop sign

not far from the bank suddenly saw a blue Ford Escort with two men inside it coming from behind at a high rate of speed. The Escort swerved to go around the stopped vehicle on the right but struck it, scraping blue paint onto the stopped vehicle. Unable to catch up with the Escort, the motorist drove to the Bexley police station and reported the hit-and-run accident, unaware of the incident at the bank. I approached one of the officers from the Bexley Police Department, identified myself and asked who was in charge of the scene. The officer pointed to Detective Bryan Holbrook, one of the men interviewing a witness. I approached Holbrook and said, “I’m Harry Trombitas with the FBI.” Holbrook smiled, rolled his eyes and said in a sarcastic manner, “Great.” I knew immediately we would get along. The murder of Renold Williams received significant media attention, and at least 348 tips were received and diligently followed through the course of the investigation, but not one tip positively identified the shooter or his accomplice – until Dec. 18 at 9:12 p.m. That night, the girlfriend of Tinotchy Ward contacted the Columbus Division of Police and reported her boyfriend had struck her and threatened to kill her and her 6-year-old son. Describing the events that had led her to call the police that evening, she revealed a bombshell that changed the course of the Williams murder investigation. She said Ward had told her – and

even bragged about – killing the armored-car guard in Bexley. She further revealed that the getaway vehicle, the blue Ford Escort, was parked behind her house. Columbus officers contacted investigators on the Williams case and relayed what the girlfriend had said. Detective Holbrook and I conducted a more thorough interview of the girlfriend. She said that on the day of the homicide, Ward came home at about 12:30 p.m., flipped on the TV and began watching news accounts of the shooting. At one point, Ward told his girlfriend, “I did that.” He provided additional information about the homicide, such as how it happened and how much money was in the bag. Upon hearing the news accounts that witnesses had observed the getaway vehicle as a blue Ford Escort with the temporary tag in the rear window, Ward went out back to his Escort and cracked the windshield, flattened the tires and broke the gas lid cover to make it appear as though the vehicle had been disabled for a long time. Ward was arrested on the domestic-violence charge Dec. 18 as he was hiding out at a relative’s house. He was taken to police headquarters, where he thought he was about to be interviewed on domestic-violence charges. His jaw dropped to the table when Detective Holbrook and I entered the room and questioned him about Williams’ homicide. Ward lied to us and said he had nothing to do with the murder.

Investigators continued to build their case against Ward. A 9-mm spent shell casing that had been recovered at the murder scene was compared with a spent shell casing recovered from Ward’s residence, and a firearms examiner from the Columbus crime lab was able to positively say the two were fired from the same weapon. Paint scrapings recovered from the vehicle that was hit by the blue Ford Escort during the getaway were compared to the paint found on the Escort parked behind Ward’s residence. An FBI examiner was able to say the paint on Ward’s vehicle was consistent with the type left behind on the car hit by the getaway vehicle. Also, after Ward was identified as a suspect, witnesses to the homicide saw photographs of Ward and positively identified him as the shooter. Ward was convicted of aggravated robbery and aggravated homicide in Franklin County Common Pleas Court on Jan. 27, 2000. He was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole on Feb. 2, 2000, and currently is incarcerated in the Chillicothe Correctional Institution. To this day, investigators have yet to identify the driver of the getaway vehicle and want to hold him accountable for Renold Williams’death. Anyone with any information should contact Bexley Police Capt. Holbrook at 614-559-4458.

Harry W. Trombitas is a retired special agent for the FBI. He currently is a senior consultant for Armada, a security consulting company, in Powell.

Davis’ sculpture garden helps celebrate diversity By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM Last week wasn’t too late for Davis Middle School students to add flowers to the courtyard. The outdoor area at Davis Middle School now has a sculpture garden inspired by Rachel’s Challenge, a nonprofit program that aims to curb bullying by teaching students to accept one another. Rachel’s Challenge was created by her parents after the 17-year-old was killed in the Columbine High School shootings in 1999. The teachings are based on Rachel’s writing and pictures that focused on reaching out to people who were different and picked on by others. Art teacher Susan Huffman said Rachel’s Challenge came to Davis Middle School for the first time last year. “I didn’t have plans to do anything,” she said. “When I went to the assembly and saw the message and what it meant to the kids I thought I couldn’t let it go.” The courtyard was begging for attention, Huffman said, and a sculpture garden was what it got. Last spring after Rachel’s

“The tiles have messages written by various kids in the school,” Huffman said. “They are the messages they came away with.” The tiles carry messages such as “Be weird” and “Be yourself.” It’s a message the school was able to bring last year through fundraising, said Davis counselor, Suzanne Hicks. “We always wanted to do it,” she said, adding that the event was held on a day fifth-graders were visiting to involve them as well. Davis Middle School has a diverse student population, Hicks said, so the message of accepting others despite their differences is important. “The kids here take pride that we are diverse,” she said. “We can ride that movement.” Eighth-grader Jessie Horvat was involved with the sculpture garden from the beginning and said the message comes through in the art. “I think pretty much everyone is different and the flowEighth-graders Krista Gresham (right), Jessie Horvat and Miles Baker helped install a sculpture garden at Davis Middle School ers symbolize that well,” she last week.

Dublin City School District

Revenues expected to drop before making a slow recovery By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM

Revenue would help keep school district in black through 2015-16, page 1

Dublin City School District officials looking ahead at finances over the next five years, said revenues are expected to drop before making a slow recovery in 2015. The Dublin Board of Education last week approved an updated fiveyear financial forecast, as required by the state. According to the new forecast that predicts fiscal information through the 2016-17 fiscal year, operating revenues are expected to be around $156.4 million for the 2012-13 fiscal year before decreasing to $155.3 million during the 2013-14 fiscal year. Revenue is expected to decrease slightly in the 2014-15 fiscal year to $155.2 million before increasing to $158.2 million in 2015-16 and $160.9 million for the 2016-17 fiscal year. The district is anticipating flat fund-

ing from the state even though a new funding formula is expected in the new two-year state budget from Gov. John Kasich. “Our best guess is hopefully we’ll be flat funded through fiscal year 2017,” said Brian Kern, the district’s assistant treasurer. Other state funding, reimbursements from the tangible-personalproperty tax, are expected to be phased out soon, said Stephen Osborne, district treasurer. The district used to receive about $10 million annually, but the reimbursements are being phased out by almost $3 million per year. “By 2015 it will be completely phased out,” Osborne said. Real estate tax makes up the largest share of the district’s revenue and is expected to increase over the next five

years from $125.8 million in the 201213 fiscal year to $127.1 million the next year and $129 million in the 2014-15 fiscal year. Real estate tax revenues are expected to increase further to $131.7 million in 2015-16 and $134.2 million in the 2016-17 fiscal year. Revenues do not eclipse expenditures in the five-year forecast, though. In the 2012-13 fiscal year expenditures are estimated at $168.8 million and $174.2 million in 2013-14. In the 2014-15 fiscal year operating expenses will increase to $182.1 million, $190.7 million the year after and $199.9 million in the 2016-17 fiscal year. According to Kern, with the increase in enrollment, staff costs will increase over the next five years. The student population is diverse, he said,

million in the 2013-14 fiscal year. A negative ending cash balance of $21 million is expected in the 201415 fiscal year if Issue 48 doesn’t pass Nov. 6. Issue 48 is a combined 6.4-mill operating levy and $15.87-million bond issue on the Nov. 6 ballot. The tax issue, district officials have said, will fund the district through 2016. The bond portion of the issue would fund maintenance, equipment and technology around the district in addition to improvements to the Davis Middle School commons area, the traffic flow at Riverside Elementary School and new HVAC and fire alarm systems at Deer Run Elementary School. If approved by voters, Issue 48 would cost homeowners an additional $213 per $100,000 assessed home value annually.

adding students with special needs or who need to learn English. “It requires additional staff to meet the needs of those students,” Kern said. Wages for district staff are expected to increase over the next five years from $110.9 million in the 2012-13 fiscal year to $123.6 million in the 2016-17 fiscal year. The district is also anticipating benefits such as insurance will increase as well. According to the five-year forecast, the district anticipates spending $39 million in the 2012-13 fiscal year and $54.1 million by the 2016-17 fiscal year. As expenses increase, Dublin City Schools are looking at a declining ending cash balance from $25.8 million in the 2012-13 fiscal year to $6.3 jnoblit@thisweeknews.com

‘Mulan, Jr.’ to be presented at Coffman District plan reaps

$500,000 savings on energy costs

By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM The story of a young woman who saves her family and eventually a country will take the stage of Coffman High School Oct. 19, 20, 25 and 27. Mulan Jr. is one of the Coffman High School drama club’s smaller productions, but Director Dan Stowell said it packs a punch. “It’s a super story line,” he said. “It’s about a girl who makes a difficult choice to go against tradition.” The musical with the cast of 24 is similar to the Disney movie, but Stowell said the students take a more existential approach to the story. “It’s about the heart of a woman and the responsibilities of a woman and wife thrust upon you,” Stowell said. In the story, Mulan is deemed unfit for marriage, which is considered shameful for her family. When her father is called to war, Mulan goes in his place disguised as a man. Mulan makes friends during training and eventually saves the army from the Huns, but in the process is revealed to be a woman. Mulan is forced to leave the army, but on her way home she discovers the Huns are planning to kill the Emperor. She returns to the army to try to stop their plan. The musical Coffman will stage has less fighting than the movie and more of a chance to get to know Mulan who is played by two students during different performances, Stowell said. To keep the focus on the story, Stowell said the set and costumes will be simple.

Ariel Glassman and Maria Gilfillan rehearse Monday, Oct. 15, for Dublin Coffman Hgh School’s upcoming performance of Mulan, Jr. CHRIS PARKER/THISWEEKNEWS

“Instead of looking at costumes, we’ll look at what does it mean to be a person? What does it mean to be a woman? The costumes are very simple gray and black,” he said. “It’s super simple ... so people think about the story and Mulan’s journey of self discovery.” Lessons about Chinese culture were part of preparations for the musical. A few special guests were brought in to speak with students, including Tai Chi instructors, Stowell said. “We incorporated some movements (the Tai Chi instructor) taught the kids into the show,” he said. This is the first time Coffman High School will stage Mulan Jr., but Stow-

ell said it’s an appropriate show for the community. “One thing that drew me to the show is Dublin in the last 20 years has changed from a very homogeneous place to a burgeoning cultural center,” he said. “It’s a fun show to begin with, but it also explores culture outside of where the community has been.” Mulan Jr. will be staged at 7 p.m. Oct. 19, 20, 25 and 27. The drama club will hold a special drama camp for elementary and middle school students that includes a matinee they participate in at 2 p.m. Oct. 27. Tickets for the show are $7 and $5 for students.

The Dublin City School District has saved nearly $500,000 in energy costs since instituting conservation strategies and installing equipment. District Business Affairs Director Annette Morud gave board members a rundown on energy savings over the summer during an Oct. 8 meeting. “We’re very excited about the numbers we got,” she said. Through new energy saving policies instituted this summer, the district was able to save $89,000 in energy costs in June and July. The district had custodians and maintenance workers put in four, 10-hour days in June and July to keep the schools closed one day a week and closed all buildings at 6 p.m., Morud said. Zone cooling was also utilized to cool only parts of school buildings that were occupied. “We increased the temperature set points to 74 degrees for occupied and 85 degrees unoccupied,” Morud said. If buildings were rented, air-conditioning costs were figured into rental costs, which brought in $40,000 Morud said. “We’re pretty happy with what we saw,” she said of the new summer programs. The district also installed some energy conserving equipment across the district in 2011 and has seen savings on energy bills from that. Through House Bill 264, the district was able to take out $5.7 million in no-interest loans to install energy-efficient boilers, water heaters, lighting and solar power equipment in school buildings across the district. The district has seen a difference of $497,096 on its gas and electric bills between the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school year. Morud said some of that different could have come from the mild winter in 2011-12, but energy conservation across the district has saved some green as well. “We’re very proud of that and very happy with those savings,” she said.

Rachel’s Challenge returned to the school this week and Hicks said projects will continue at the school to remind students of the message throughout the year. The sculptural garden was the first project and the next will allow students to add a link to a paper chain around the school whenever they do something nice, Hicks said. That project will last throughout the year, she said. Other project ideas are forthcoming, Hicks said. “We’ll let the kids generate the ideas because it has to come from them,” she said.

director of finance, said fiscal information through the third quarter shows “very positive news.” To date, Mumma said, the city has received 5.58 percent more income tax revenue than it did during the same time period last year. “We continue to be in a healthy position,” she said. This year Dublin has collected about $57.9 million in income tax revenue, compared to about $54.8 million collected during the same time in 2011. “Every category of income tax collections are up,” Mumma said. Revenue from property tax, however, has declined by 4.1 percent, Mumma said. “The decline is consistent with staff’s expectations, based on information received from the Franklin County Auditor’s office that stated for the tax year 2011 (collected in 2012), the

taxable assessed valuation for all properties within the Franklin County portion of Dublin declined 4.4 percent from the tax year 2010 (collected in 2011),” the staff report to council stated. Hotel/motel tax revenue has continued to climb, Mumma said, noting a 10.9-percent increase through the third quarter of 2012 when compared to the first three quarters in 2011. “All 14 hotels have shown growth from the same time period last year,” she said. As for expenditures, they have increased by about 3.5 per-

cent over 2011. The increase largely comes from the purchase of land for a deal with Nestle USA, Mumma said. “Increases in other expenditures have been modest, with personal services increasing 1.5 percent, supplies increasing 3.7 percent, travel and training increasing 0.2 percent and contractual services increasing 4.4 percent over 2011,” the staff report stated. Despite an increase in expenditures, the general fund balance has continued to grow this year. Dublin tries to maintain a year-end general fund balance of at least 50 percent of the general fund expenditures, but has exceeded that. As of the end of the third quarter of 2012, the ending general fund balance was $50.4 million, or 85 percent of the 2012 planned general fund expenditures.

ELECTION 2012 Issue 56

Levy backers worry about ballot language By GARY SEMAN J R . THISWEEKNEWS.COM Issue 56 is a long way down on an already lengthy ballot. Now, without supporting text identifying the issue as a levy for Franklin County Senior Options, supporters are worried that voters simply will overlook it on Nov. 6. “I think the ballot language creates a challenge for us,” said Antonia Carroll, director of the Franklin County Office on Aging. “We will need to focus our efforts even more on mak-

ing sure the voters understand that Issue 56 is the Senior Options levy.” The title Senior Options was included when the Franklin County Board of Elections submitted language for Issue 56 to the Ohio Secretary of State, said Ben Piscitelli, spokesman for the elections board. However, the secretary of state’s office removed the title. “We posted the revised language and all other ballot styles for public comment at the board of elections and on our website for two 24-hour periods on Sept. 6 and Sept. 17 without receiving a response,” he said. “The

second posting was necessary because language was also amended for State Issue 2, so Issue 56 supporters had two chances to issue a challenge and did not.” Matt McClellan, spokesman for the secretary of state, said the Senior Options text did not meet the guidelines for ballot language for tax issues. The issue must list the entity that is benefitting from the tax, whether it be a board, library or political subdivision, McClellan said. “Senior Options is a program, so it’s not any of those entities,” he said.

There is, however, a description of the issue on the ballot, he said. Senior Options provides home-delivered meals, homemaker services and personal care and other assistance. About 6,000 older adults receive help from Senior Options monthly. If approved, the five-year, 1.3-mill senior-services levy will cost homeowners $39.81 a year per $100,000 in home value – a $12.79 increase. It is expected to raise $34 million annually. It is an increase from the current 0.9-mill levy set to expire at the end of the year.

Franklin County voters have been very supportive of the levy, which has been approved every five years since 1992, said Janet Caldwell, communications manager for the Office on Aging. In light of this year’s ballot-language issue, supporters will be stepping up their outreach efforts through social media, word of mouth and advertising, she said. “We have a really great grassroots campaign, a lot of friends, family and supporters, and anybody else who cares to share the message,” she said.

Issue 2

Factions agree on problem, but not suggested solution By KEVIN PARKS THISWEEKNEWS.COM The public faces for the proand anti-Issue 2 campaigns can agree on one thing: The current system for drawing up legislative and congressional districts is broken. “There’s a better way to conduct the redistricting process than the system we currently have in place,” said Carlo LoParo, spokesman for Protect Your Vote Ohio, a group that

opposes the constitutional amendment. “For 50 years, the party out of power has been trying to get a reform and the party in power has been saying, ‘We need a fix, just not this fix,’” said Sandy Theis, senior adviser and spokeswoman for Voters First, a group supporting the the amendment. Where Theis of the Issue 2backing organization and LoParo of the opposing group fail to find common ground is

how to make repairs. “If Issue 2 passes, we’ll have better government for the next 10 years,” Theis said. “The more you read what’s in Issue 2, the less sense it makes,” LoParo said last week. The proposed constitutional amendment would wrest control of redistricting from the state legislature, when it comes to Congressional seats, and the Ohio Apportionment Board in the case of the state House and Senate.

The board’s members include the governor, secretary of state, state auditor and two legislative appointees. “It creates an unaccountable, taxpayer-funded bureaucracy,” said LoParo, one-time spokesman for Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell now in a similar capacity for the ballot issue committee formed to block passage of Issue 2. Led by the League of Women Voters of Ohio and including a coalition of Demo-

cratic and labor groups, Voters First “was created to take the power over drawing our congressional and legislative districts out of the hands of the politicians and put it in the hands of the people,” its website states. Protect Your Vote Ohio is composed of mostly Republican groups but also nonpartisan and bipartisan organizations “who all realize that Issue 2 is a flawed amendment,” LoParo said.

Theis, who covered politics in Ohio for 25 years, most recently during a decade with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and LoParo were both asked last week what messages from their campaigns are working with voters and how the remainder of the time before the election will be spent by both camps. “We’ll simply explain to voters what Issue 2 does,” LoParo

12th Congressional race

Reese challenges Tiberi for redrawn district By MARLA K. K U H L M A N THISWEEKNEWS.COM Republican incumbent Pat Tiberi faces Democrat challenger Jim Reese in a bid for the redrawn 12th Congressional District, which includes parts of Delaware, Franklin, Licking, Marion, Morrow, Muskingum and Richland counties. Tiberi, 49, has represented the district since 2001. He previously served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1993 to 2000. He is a lifelong resident of the 12th District, currently living in Genoa Township with his wife, Denice, and four daughters. Reese, 34, is an attorney and smallbusiness owner. He has lived in central Ohio for 12 years and lives in Gahanna with his wife, Nancy, and two sons. When ThisWeek asked what specific measures each candidate proposes to drive down debt and control spending, Tiberi said spending must be reduced to work toward a balanced budget. “Simply increasing revenue by ending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, as some have suggested, would not only

leave the spending problem unsolved; it would represent the largest tax hike in American history,” Tiberi said. “I worked to successfully pass the largest discretionary spending cut since World War II,” he said. “Unfortunately, deficits continue to grow because the president hasn’t taken action to reform the biggest drivers of our national debt – Social Security and Medicare,” Tiberi said. “We need to reform and strengthen Social Security and Medicare for current and future beneficiaries rather than continue on the current unsustainable path.” Tiberi said he also supports the proposed Cut, Cap and Balance Act. “We must cut our spending, impose enforceable caps to align spending with revenues and pass a balancedbudget amendment,” he said. “I’ve led by example, cutting over $2.1 million from my own office budgets since I’ve been in Congress.” Reese said he wants to reduce the deficit by putting Americans back to work at good-paying jobs. “If Americans manufacture American inventions within our borders, then every citizen that wants a job can have a job,” Reese said.

“Ohioans invented the light bulb, the cash register, the airplane and the LCD TV, yet not a single one of these inventions is manufactured in Ohio,” he said. “By getting people off of unemployment, back to work and paying taxes, we can greatly reduce the deficit,” Reese said. When asked about improving healthcare affordability and how he would convince members of the opposing party to agree, Tiberi said, there are many aspects of health-care reform where both sides agree. “For example, allowing children to stay on their parents’health-care plan until they are 26 and expanding access to affordable care for those with preexisting conditions are provisions that have broad support,” Tiberi said. “However, I hear time and again from Ohioans that the president’s health-care law is not the reform that people need or want.” Instead of a government takeover of health care, Tiberi said, reform is needed that reduces the number of uninsured Americans by driving down the cost of coverage while expanding access, allowing families to choose the type of coverage they want. “That’s why I support the Reform

“That's why I support the REINS (Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny) Act,” he said. “This measure would require an up-or-down vote in Congress on all the major rules, defined as those with an annual economic impact of $100 million or more, proposed by regulatory agencies.” He said it would improve the regulatory process and encourage agencies and Congress to work together to create regulations that implement the original intent of the law. In addition, Tiberi said, this would prevent the administration, regardless of party, from bypassing Congress to implement regulations that further its political agenda. The bill passed the House of Representatives in December 2011 by a vote of 241-184 and awaits action in the Senate. Reese said he doesn’t believe regulatory agencies such as the EPA, the FCC, the USDA and other similar agencies are overstepping Congress’ legislative authority. “But I do believe that our representatives in Congress have failed in their duty to effectively legislate with sufficient specificity to avoid ambiguous and unnecessary regulation,” he said.

Americans Can Afford Act, a bill that would repeal the government takeover of health care and replace it with common-sense measures that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says will lower health-care premiums by up to 20 percent compared to the Democrats’ law,” he said. “It would also repeal the nearly half-a-trillion dollars in tax increases and three-quarters-of-a-trillion dollars in Medicare cuts that the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’actuaries said could jeopardize access to care for Medicare beneficiaries.” Reese said he supports a health-care act that implements a functional health insurance marketplace, where consumers may inform themselves on the best policies at the best prices and that would modernize and improve health care for everyone. “A competitive and honest marketplace will benefit every American citizen, and I will fight to retain legislation that benefits American consumers,” he said. Tiberi said government red tape is hindering economic growth in this country and regulatory compliance is costing small businesses an estimated $10,500 per employee annually.

ISSUE 2 FROM >> A18 said in response to the latter question. “I think one of the most-effective things we’re doing is we’re giving them examples of how

broken the system is,” Theis said. “I think the anecdotal stuff really helps put it into context.” Along with the “unaccountable” message – LoParo uses the term or its equivalent a lot

– Protect Your Vote Ohio will point out the $15 million price tag for setting up and running the citizen redistricting commission called for in Issue 2, including staff. That cost would be spread

over eight years, with $9 million to $12.9 million coming in the first two years, according to the cost estimate calculated by the state Office of Budget and Management at the request of Secretary of State

Jon Husted. Such estimates are required for ballot measures. “That’s a pretty hefty price to pay for a commission that’s not accountable to taxpayers and, quite frankly, in the opinion of several Ohio newspapers, does

not fix the deficiencies in the current system,” LoParo said. Theis countered by saying Voters First officials for months had been expecting a “comically large price tag” to be attached to the amendment.

League title gives boost to Coffman By AARON BLANKENSHIP THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

Dublin Coffman High School girls cross country coach Jim Ferguson can’t help feeling confident about his team’s chances of winning the Division I, district 2 meet Saturday, Oct. 20, at Watkins Memorial. The top-seeded Shamrocks are coming off a weekend in which they beat four of the top 15 seeded squads in the district in Hilliard Davidson (second), Upper Arlington (third), Olentangy Liberty (seventh) and Thomas Worthington (15th) en route to winning the OCC-Central Division meet for the third consecutive year. On Oct. 13 at Hilliard Darby, the Shamrocks scored 43 points to finish ahead of Davidson (51), UA (51), Liberty (102), Thomas (107), Marysville (188) and Central Crossing (196). “Our conference race is actually more competitive than our section of the district this year because the three highest-ranked teams in our district are in our division of the OCC, and Liberty and Thomas Worthington both have really good teams, too,” Ferguson said. “We’ll definitely need to run well to win our district, but one advantage we have over most teams is we have more depth after our No. 5 runner.” The top seeds competing with the Shamrocks at district will be Gahanna (fifth), Liberty, Pickerington North (11th) and Hilliard Bradley (16th). The top five teams and top 20 individuals from the district 1 and 2 boys and girls meets will advance to the regional Oct. 27 at Pickerington North. The

Liberty looks to slow Shamrocks By SCOTT HENNEN THISWEEKSPORTS.COM Opponents of the Dublin Coffman High School football team have had trouble slowing down the Shamrocks’ spread offense this season. The fact that the Olentangy Liberty defense faces a spread offense every day in practice may help the Patriots contain the Coffman offense when the teams meet in an OCC-Central Division contest Friday, Oct. 19, at Liberty.

The Shamrocks, who are 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the OCC-Central, are averaging 47.8 points per game. “We certainly see similar things at practice to some degree, but it still comes down to blocking and tackling and executing correctly,” said Liberty coach Steve Hale, whose team is 6-2 and 4-1. “But Coffman has been doing well, being unbeaten this season, never giving up more than 14 points and scoring tons of points.” Coffman is allowing an average of 10 points per game.

the Shamrocks have given up is 14, which came in a 34-14 win over Dublin Scioto on Aug. 31 and a 56-14 win over Thomas Worthington on Sept. 28. They are coming off their highest point total of the season, a 69-13 win over Westland on Oct. 12. “(Liberty) knows how to defend shotgun teams like us because they see it every day in practice,” said Coffman coach Mark Crabtree, whose team was ranked fourth in the Division I state poll last week behind Cleveland St. Ignatius, Cincinnati Colerain and

Halloween Safety Tips

Wear light-reflective costumes so drivers can see you.

Wear face paint instead of masks, which can block your sight.

Put jack-o-lanterns away from paths. Never leave them unattended.

Trick-or-treat with your child and go to homes that you know well.

Costumes should fit over warm clothes and be short enough so children don’t trip.

Check all candy before your kids eat it and throw away unwrapped candy.

thing different this year,” Bellinger said. “I’m happy with the way I’ve played in the tournament so far, and my goal is to make it far in the state tournament.” Coach Tyler Stephen wouldn’t be surprised to see the University of Cincinnati recruit break opponents with her mental toughness. “Lauren doesn’t have the big shots or overpowering service game that some of these girls have, but she’s a mental giant and that toughness is enough to get her wins against the best girls from around the state,” Stephen said. “Lauren’s also a talented player. She’s versatile and she will be the mentally strongest player in the tournament. She just needs to stay confident and she’ll win matches based on her mental strength.” Stein and her sister, sophomore Emma Stein, went 3-1 in doubles at district and placed second. The duo opened with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Coffman sophomores Crissi Tzagournis and Annie Yang, defeated UA’s Audrey Berger and Elaine Cloern 6-3, 6-3 in a state qualifier and beat 2011 state finalists Lauren Ghidotti and Katie Shepherd of Watterson 6-3, 64 in a semifinal before losing to New Albany sisters Cristina

and Francesca DiLorenzo 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 in the final. “Lauren and Katie go to the same club, Elysium, as Emma and me, and we practice the same things together all the time, so I think we just had a little better execution,” Sarah Stein said. “Our match with the DiLorenzos was really close and they just executed a little better than we did. We had a few unforced errors that really cost us in the last set. “The key for us at state is to stay positive and have good communication. With us being sisters, there’s no filter on what we say to each other and that can be a good or a bad thing. To win state again would be awesome, especially if I can share the experience with my sister.” The doubles team of freshman Ellee Bullock and sophomore Caitlyn Merzbacher went 2-2 at district and placed fourth, as the top four finishers in singles and doubles advanced to state. Bullock and Merzbacher opened with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Gahanna’s Emily Merickel and Elizabeth Sullivan and defeated Pickerington Central’s Nithya Raya and Kyah Thomas 6-1, 6-7, 6-3 before losing to the DiLorenzos 6-2, 6-2 in a semifinal.

State title chases begin The postseason is under way and chances are at least one central Ohio boys or girls team will be playing for a state championship, considering that at least one area boys team has reached a state final the past 15 years and 23 of the past 27 seasons and at least one girls team has reached a state final the past three years and 16 of the past 22 seasons. Central Ohio was represented in four of the six state finals last year, with Worthington Christian winning its third Division III boys championship by defeating Gates Mills Hawken 2-0 and DeSales winning its fourth Division II girls title by beating Toledo St. Ursula 2-0. Also reaching state finals a year ago were the Olentangy Liberty boys team (Division I) and the Dublin Jerome girls team (Division I). Liberty lost to Cleveland St. Ignatius 4-2 and Jerome lost to Strongsville 1-0.

After winning their second consecutive league titles, the Dublin Coffman and Jerome high school girls soccer teams have set their sights on additional goals. Coffman defended its OCCCentral Division title when it defeated host Upper Arlington 2-0 on Oct. 9. The Shamrocks are 12-0-4 overall heading into the Division I district tournament and finished 6-0-1 in the league. “OCC is great, but we have a long road ahead of us in the tournament,” senior midfielder Bailey Wilson. Jerome defended its OCCCardinal title by defeating visiting Westerville Central 3-1 on Oct. 9. The Celtics finished 7-0 in the league.

Coffman earns top district seed After tying Marysville at 1 on Sept. 4, Coffman won five consecutive league games, outscoring opponents 27-0. Marysville’s goal was the only one allowed by Coffman in league play. Wilson and senior Haley Lehmkuhl scored against UA as the Shamrocks won the 11th league title in program history. “Winning the league is our first goal,” Wilson said. “It’s a huge thing for us. It’s a big accomplishment that we always want to win the OCC because we have a competitive OCC and it’s just good to come out on top.” Coffman finished ahead of Hilliard Davidson (6-1), Olentangy Liberty (5-2), Thomas Worthington (3-3-1), Marysville (2-2-3), UA (2-41), Westland (0-6-1) and Central Crossing (0-6-1). Coffman is the top seed in the district tournament and, after a first-round bye, will play host to Central Crossing in the second round Thursday, Oct. 18. The Shamrocks defeated

Coffman, Jerome girls teams reach state By JARROD ULREY a n d S C OT T HENNEN THISWEEKSPORTS.COM After nearly an hour delay at the start and with play moving slowly, the Division I district high school girls golf championship came down to a long putt in the early evening Oct. 9 at Cooks Creek. That sort of drama could be in store again Friday, Oct. 19, and Saturday, Oct. 20, when Dublin Coffman and Dublin Jerome compete in the state tournament on Ohio State’s Gray Course. Coffman sophomore Lexie Long made a 20-foot putt on No. 18 at Cooks Creek to give her team a 314 that would tie Jerome. Because the Shamrocks had a better fifth-player score, they were awarded their first district title since 2000. Joining Coffman and Jerome at state are Watterson sophomore Erin Harper and senior Natalie Meyers, who shot 73 and 74, respectively, to earn the district’s two individual qualifying berths. Harper was medalist. “It’s going to be a show at the state tournament,” Coffman coach Randy Patton said. “It’s good theater. (Jerome is) very good and we are, too. They’ve got good kids and they’re well-coached. Our kids have played so well and worked

so hard and we feel like we have a good chance down at Ohio State.” Long turned in a 74 to lead the Shamrocks, who have lost to Jerome five times this season but also beat the Celtics on Oct. 6 at Cooks Creek when they shot 320 to place first while Jerome was second (324) in the 12-team Pickerington North Classic. Also competing for Coffman at district were sophomore Kamerine Taylor (76), junior Charley Benefield (82), sophomore Nicole Smiley (82) and junior Kylie Raines (84). “We’ve just worked together well as a team,” Long said. “We couldn’t have done it without all of our players.” Last year, Jerome shot 312 to win the district tournament at Bent Tree and followed with a 627 to capture the state title at Ohio State. The only player among the Celtics’top five who is not back is 2012 graduate Joon-Hee Shim, who was district runner-up and tied for fourth at state. On Oct. 9, junior Lexie Toth and sophomore Maite Erana each shot 75 for Jerome, followed by sophomore Sybil Robinson (81), senior Jenna DiPaolo (83) and freshman Kennedy Jackson (97). “We feel that Coffman and us are the two best teams in the state,” Jerome coach C.D.

state, you’ve already accomplished a huge goal. Now it’s time to go out and have some fun.” Four Jerome players – Bohl, Howard, Michael Harris and Mert Selamet – played at state last season. “Experience is so crucial at (the state) level,” Zesiger said. “First of all, it’s a two-day tournament, which is a totally dif-

ferent ballgame. Then you figure in just how hard the Scarlet Course plays. New Albany shot a 298 (at district), but there won’t be any 298s shot either day (at state). “The state record is 610 (set by St. Charles in 2010), and that’s 305 per day. We won it with a 623 last year and the winner will probably be around that number this year.”

by Nancy Laws Employee Owner LET THE SPIRITS MOVE YOU! If you are headed out to purchase paint thinner, get ready to be confronted with a wide variety of petroleum-based solvents. Traditional mineral spirits (usually labeled as “paint thinner”) is inexpensive with a low toxicity level and high evaporation rate. It is good for anything that goes on with a brush or roller, but spray-on products are better suited to a lower evaporation rate product. Next, “odorless” mineral spirits have had aromatic and sulfur compounds distilled out of them, resulting in a product that is less powerful than regular mineral spirits but better suited to indoor use. Naphtha, less oily than mineral spirits, evaporates faster than mineral spirits, thereby promoting faster drying of paint (and quicker application of second coats). If you have any questions about which sort of paint thinner is best for your project, come ask the experts at ROUSH HARDWARE. Of course, we have an extensive paint selection of brushes, tarps, tapes, ladders, and colors, as well as paint thinners. More importantly, we also have friendly on-staff experts who can answer any questions you may have, from which thinner is best for you to which sort of paint will work best in your room. Call 614-764-8900 today if you have any questions or to get directions. Our address is 373 W. Bridge St, Dublin. HINT: Toluene, good for cleaning adhesive and tools, is a sweetsmelling solvent with high evaporation rate, but its higher toxicity, flammability, and high VOC content require extra care.

Coffman wins OCC volleyball title The Dublin Coffman High School girls volleyball team beat Olentangy Liberty 25-19, 2523, 25-21 on Oct. 9 and defeated Upper Arlington 25-18, 25-16, 25-12 on Oct. 11 to win the OCC-Central Division championship. The Shamrocks, who have won six consecutive league titles, finished 14-0 in the OCCCentral, with Liberty placing second at 12-2. “We’re very proud because our league was a little stronger across the board this year, and it feels great to go undefeated to win it again,” coach Mary Anne Souder said. “Liberty made our league stronger when they joined it this year, and that’s good because it made us have to step things up to beat them.” According to Souder, during league play McKenzie Bailey and Cassie Hausfeld were the team leaders in kills, Mahlia Blair and Beatrice Hannan led in blocks, Megan Mills led in digs, Jenn Vargo led in assists and Hausfeld led in aces. “Our team is so deep that we have a lot of people coming off the bench to contribute, too,”

Bailey said. “Beating Olentangy Liberty on our senior night to win the OCC was a big deal because winning the OCC has become a tradition and expectation for us.” Coffman lost to Toledo St. Ursula 25-19, 1925, 25-17, 25-14 on Oct. 13 to finish the regular season 19-3 overall. The top-seeded Shamrocks opened the Division I district tournament Oct. 17 against Groveport or Westland in the second round. The winner plays 12th-seeded Mount Vernon, 13thseeded Thomas Worthington, Jerome or Olentangy Orange in a district semifinal Wednesday, Oct. 24, at Big Walnut. Coffman has won five consecutive district championships and lost to Pickerington North 22-25, 16-25, 25-14, 26-24, 15-12 in a regional semifinal last year. The Shamrocks lost in the state final in 2009 and 2010. “Our expectations are to get past the district tournament to make another state tournament run,” Bailey said. –Aaron Blankenship

Random notes Mild-mannered nurse by day, rocker chick by night. That’s Canal Winchester’s Christy Angeletti, whose new song, Powerful, has found its way onto the Mediabase Indicator radio charts. The successful numbers are not new, though, as Angeletti’sYouTube page boasts more than 3 million views. “We’ve come so far in the past year, it’s incredible,” she told The Beat. It should be no surprise that Angeletti, whose original songs focus on empowerment and the strength of women, is a fan of female rock royalty such as Pat Benatar and Heart. For her own career, Angeletti said, it took a while to find her proper voice, traversing the Christian and country music worlds before settling down (so to speak) in rock ‘n’ roll. Angeletti spends what time she can spare in Nashville recording and promoting, in between shifts as a nurse at Ohio State’s Ross Heart Hospital. Find out more at christyangeletti.com.

Humble digs belie big flavors at Bangkok

The brick walls are phony inside of Bangkok Restaurant, but the Thai food is the real deal. Open since the mid-1980s and aligned with a next-door Asian Grocer, this humble East Sider is one of the oldest Thai eateries in Columbus and still one of the best. Along with the bogus bricks, Bangkok’s large single room is equipped with ethnically appropriate photos and knick-knacks, a television cranking out Thai music videos (talk about must-see TV), simple tables and booths and not a whole lot else. Call it a bare-bones mom-n-popper that achieves a measure of charm through friendly servers (whose excellent suggestions help make sense of a mammoth menu) and a regular clientele among whom English is rarely the dominantly spoken language. Since it’s all about the authentic food here, I’ll get right to it and pronounce the Tom Ka Gai soup phenomenal ($8; I ordered it, like I did everything, at a threatening-but-notdangerous three-quarters level of spicy heat). Characteristic for this place, it was a huge serving sporting an uncomNoora’s Persian Cuisine Address: 8631 Sancus Blvd., Polaris area Phone: 614-844-4444

monly balanced and nuanced fusion of bold flavors. Creamy coconut milk and a hint of sweetness smoothed out a rush of lime, lemongrass, galangal, cilantro and chili playing nice with a bunch of white meat chicken slices plus a whiff of fish sauce. Also giant-sized and top-notch was Larb Gai ($11), a warm groundchicken salad. Again, this pulled off the difficult trick of letting a litany of tongue-lilting ingredients – lemongrass, lime juice, cilantro, scallions, chilies, lettuce (refreshingly used as a vegetable) and fish sauce – speak at perfectly calibrated volumes to create a harmonious conversation of flavors. Once more that kind of table talk was cheap ($8) yet unleashed a wealth of arousal with the Pad Ka Tiem. This garlic-lover’s delight featured spicy, smoky and mildly sweet grill-marked chicken brightened by cilantro, deepened by sesame oil. A must! The Pad Puck Boong ($7) greens were as good as gold. Described as watercress on the menu, they met my tongue and teeth like a fibrous, chewy cousin to spinach given a salty, spicy

Restaurants taking breakfast fare to next level When Cheryl Sher decided to start offering a breakfast menu on the weekends, she promised herself she wasn’t going to imitate anyone – particularly the chains. The menu at Sher-Bliss, her chocolate and wine shop in the Gahanna area, now features such homemade items as doughnuts infused with wine, cornmeal blintzes with chevre and hot pepper jelly, and soy chorizo frittate. To sweeten the deal, she offers a pot of French-press coffee with the purchase of two entrees. With her individual fig pierogi pot pies, figs macerated in port wine are stuffed

into a cream-cheese pastry topped with brown butter and port-poached honeydew. “It’s what I like to eat,” she said, “and there’s nowhere to eat around here that has this kind of food.” The menu is constantly changing. It was a challenge to keep things interesting while holding down the price, Sher said. Breakfast entrees are in the $7 to $9 range. “I wanted to be in line with

other places that offer brunch and give people a good amount of food,” she said. Those who dig around a little will find some intriguing, less-traditional breakfast fare across central Ohio. At the out-of-the way Tasi Cafe in the Short North, chef Milton Espinoza from Bolivia is putting his individual touch on several dishes, such as the huevos rancheros, which has two eggs poached in a tomato sauce, with quesadillas stuffed with queso fresco and black beans served on the side. In another dish, poached eggs are paired with a blackbean cake and drizzled with a jalapeno butter sauce. Biscuits

and gravy uses homemade biscuits and real sausage gravy. “We really like things that are fresh, seasonal and local,” said Rachel Kaufman, assistant manager. “Our food is definitely different. Every dish can stand alone.” ZenCha Tea Salon serves up okonomiyaki, a savory Japanese pancake that has meat, seafood or vegetables. It is accented with either a Worcestershire- or mayonnaise-based sauce. Owner I-Cheng Huang said it’s the best seller at brunch, but customers shy away from it in the early morning. He said a cultural distinction is at play: Americans, especially during the week, are in a rush in the morning and are more inclined to grab a bagel and tea than sit down for a meal. “When it comes to brunch, people are relaxed,” he said. “They’re open to more options.” About a year ago, the Olive Tree Cafe in Hilliard started serving breakfast every Sunday. Owner David Mor said he wanted to offer a true Mediterranean experience that touched on many points across three continents. “The Mediterranean is very diverse,” he said. “We wanted to attract people who wanted to eat a little healthier.” One of the menu items is jachun, a traditional Yemenite Jewish breakfast dish featuring thin layers of dough brushed with oil, rolled and baked for 10 hours. It’s served with a hard-baked egg, fresh grated tomato and

a homemade hot-pepper puree. For a more traditional item – French toast – the Olive Tree uses challah, a braided Jewish egg bread, along with Ohio maple syrup and fresh fruit. Still, many people are apprehensive about ordering unfamiliar fare, Mor said. “They’re coming into unknown territory,” he said. “People are very set in their ways and very few people are willing to branch out.”

David Kincheloe, president of National Restaurant Consultants in Colorado, said mom-and-pop restaurants can compete with national chains for the breakfast dollar, but suggests they offer traditional items to get people through the door. “That way, there is something familiar with a twist,” he said. “Consumers will even pay more if they perceive that it is worth more.”

across so many different cities,” Molinski said. “They’ve all come home already and spent time with their families. They’re coming back to meet as a unit for what we call 30-day reintegration briefs.” The 30-day event offers the units classes and information sessions about health benefits, finding a job and other things, Molinski said. “What we’re doing is taking a normal welcome home ceremony and putting it into those 30-day events,” he said. Soldiers will be recognized by federal, state and local officials as well as military leadership. The public is welcome at the ceremonies. “We open this up to the public to attend because a lot of units’ communities have supported them on their deployment,” Molinski said. “Although they’re not included in the 30-day event, they’re invited to show support because we really do appreciate them.” Other ceremonies are slated for Huron, Akron and Wright-Patterson Airforce Base near Dayton.

CAN’T EAT?

DO YOU HAVE ONE OR MORE MISSING TEETH? Failing Bridgework? Are your dentures falling out?

MINI DENTAL IMPLANTS ARE A LOWER COST OPTION!!!

In the past, when a patient lost a tooth, there were only a few options for replacing that lost tooth. They could have a full or partial denture made, or the tooth could be replaced with cemented custom bridgework. Now, a simpler, less invasive procedure can replace one or more missing teeth while saving the patient hard earned money at the same time. A missing tooth can be replaced with a Mini Dental Implant and a few Mini Dental Implants can be placed to add stability to loose ﬁtting upper and lower dentures.

gested turning the ideas over to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission and Fred Hahn, Dublin’s parks and open space director, for discussion. City Manager Marsha Grigsby said the ideas will be looked into and will be discussed with metro parks leadership at an upcoming meeting. Councilman John Reiner thanked Krause for bringing his ideas to the city and urged staff to move forward with it. “I’d just hate to see this slide away,” Reiner said.

Mini dental implants cost less than traditional or standard sized implants, and in most cases there is signiﬁcantly less time involved from start to ﬁnish when a mini implant can be used to replace a missing implant.

Metro Park, Krause said. Councilwoman Cathy Boring said she received a letter from Krause about the ideas, but thought adding them to the Bridge Street corridor area might be more appropriate as a key goal of the area is to get people walking to destinations. “People could walk to it and not have to drive so far away,” she said. Councilwoman Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher agreed, noting that Glacier Ridge Metro Park is a more passive park. “It’s a grand idea, but the location seemed to be wrong,” she said. Chinnici-Zuercher sug-

One of the advantages of a single dental implant over traditional options is the teeth next to the missing tooth need not be prepared, or ground down as is necessary for bridgework. Using implants allows the surrounding natural teeth to be saved and left undisturbed.

at the park using the wall. “Their one question is, ‘Why can’t we have something like this more accessible to Dublin residents?’ ” After a discussion with Metro Parks employees, Krause said the climbing wall has been viewed as a success as it has attracted people to the park. Krause also suggested installing an obstacle course for all ages. The course could use natural elements and be used by children, teens and adults at the same time. Both the climbing wall and obstacle course could be installed at Glacier Ridge

Columbus Marathon

Route includes jaunt through Ohio Stadium By GARY SEMAN JR. THISWEEKNEWS.COM

For the first time in its 33year history, the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon and Half Marathon will amble through Ohio Stadium. On race day Oct. 21, runners will dash through the players’ entrance, trot along the edge of the field and exit on the opposite end of the stadium, race director Darris Blackford said. “To top it off, we’ve also received permission for spectators to sit in the south- side

stands,” Blackford said. “It’s sort of a game- day experience without the game.” The marathon will run a shuttle from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. between McFerson Commons in the Arena District and the stadium. Previously, the race had passed on the outside of the stadium. Blackford said it’s not uncommon for sports stadiums to open their doors to runners but the issue had never been broached locally. It’s not the only change this year. Nationwide Children’s Hospital signed a three-year agree-

ment to become the title beneficiary.The marathon will match the first $100,000 in donations raised for the hospital by participants in the 2012 race. The race formerly was known as the Nationwide Insurance Columbus Marathon. About 18,000 runners –7,000 full marathoners and 11,000 half marathoners – are participating in the year’s event, slated to be held from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. The 26.2-mile route will start atThird and Broad streets downtown. The finish line for both the half and full marathons is

at McFerson Commons, where a celebration will be held. The Columbus marathon is one of the 20 largest marathons in the country and is a qualifying event for the famed Boston Marathon. The race route touches many historic neighborhoods, such as German Village, Olde Towne East, the Brewery District and Victorian Village, as well as nearby suburbs, including Bexley and Grandview Heights. Spectators will play an important part in the marathon, spokeswoman Sarah Irvin Clark said.

KEYS TO SUCCESS

The first 500 people who show up for “Breakfast in the Bleachers,” held at the starting line, will get a voucher for free breakfast at Trinity Episcopal Church on South Third Street. Spectators are asked to cheer and make signs but not hand out beverages, Clark said.Those wanting to volunteer can do so at the columbusmarathon.com. The race will also give a nod to the city’s bicentennial celebration this year. Every 200th person crossing the finish line will get a special dinner pack from Chipotle, Blackford said.

All of the children who run on Saturday will wear the number 200, he said. In addition to the 200th anniversary, the city also is celebrating the 20th anniversary of a sister city arrangement with Dresden, Germany. So, the marathon is sending 20 runners over to run the Morgenpost Dresden Marathon, which will be held the same day. “All marathons might be the same distance, but it was kind of a unique opportunity to celebrate a pair of milestones with our city,” Blackford said.

Since 1984, Lola and Giuseppe (Joe) Iacobone have been serving delicious food in central Ohio; their latest restaurant success is the culmination of those experiences and Guiseppe’s family recipes. Lola & Giuseppe’sTrattoria is now located at 100 Granville St. in Gahanna, but the first inception of this family restaurant began life on Bethel Road in the 1980s. Following the birth of their daughter, Gabriel, the family sold the restaurant on Bethel and reopened a couple of yearslaterclosertohome in Gahanna. “When Gabriel started school in 1994, we opened in a building on the river in Gahanna, where Creekside is now. Unfortunately, Joe suffered a heart attack around 1999 that forced us to close again,” Lola said.“After that, I continued working as a personal chef to families in

Following Gabriel’s college career, she has returned as well to help with the family business. “A big key to our success is that there aren’t many44-seatrestaurants where the owners are here 100-percent of the time,” Lola said.“And we don’t have a big walk-in cooler; we’re making everything in small batches instead, so you’re talking about a whole different taste from that kind of cooking. “Joe’s in here every day making his red sauce with fresh tomatoes, here at 6 a.m. making his fresh meatballs, and I make all my own desserts from scratch. That means something to people,” she said. The menu is divided into different sections, according to Lola.

Child – and adult – fans of American Girl dolls and accessories soon will be able to shop for them at Easton Town Center. American Girl recently announced plans for an 11,500-square-foot “experiential” store scheduled to open at Easton in early summer 2013. That news puts a smile on the face of American Girl doll collector Sharon Marion of Canal Winchester. “I’ve got 40-plus American Girl dolls and I’m totally excited about the store going in at Easton,” Marion said.

An avid collector of the dolls for 20 years, Marion has traveled to the store in Chicago several times, as well as the Atlanta location. The Easton store “would mean having handson access to anything American Girl,” she said. The brand attracted her attention as a collector because of the high quality and “fantastic accessories,” said Marion, who helped to design the American Girl doll display at the Mid-Ohio Historical Museum, 700 Winchester Pike in Canal Winchester, where she volunteers her time. For Marion and her 11-year-old granddaughter, Emily McCoy of Canal Winchester, the

dolls are a great source for bonding. “We’ll watch the DVDs together and dress our dolls,” Marion said. “They are a heart-warming and fun doll for not only little girls but the adult collector, as well.” Marion said she will be a frequent visitor to the store when it opens. The experiential store concept offers more than just shopping, said Stephanie Spanos, American Girl spokeswoman. “Beyond shopping, we’ll have a restaurant, a doll hair salon and T-shirt designing,” Spanos said, “and there will be a lot of events throughout the year.” The doll hair salon offers more than 30 hairdos and is the store’s most popular experience, Spanos said. “It’s an interactive experience, and the stylists offer tips on hair care, and you can order pampering for your doll,” she said. Should the doll need a greater level of tender loving care, the store can send it to the doll hospital in Chicago, where it will receive the special attention it needs before returning home, Spanos said. The new store will have the entire product line of dolls, outfits, accessories and books, as well as souvenir products exclusive to Columbus, Spanos said. It will be located in Easton’s North District, across the breezeway from American Eagle, said Brock Schmaltz, Easton spokesman. The new store will be American Girl’s 15th in as many years, Spanos said, noting the company selects locations based on its online sales market. “We select a market and look for a mall in that area that is a great fit for our brand, which is all about families,” Spanos said. “(Easton Town Center) is a great family destination. It’s a lifestyle mall and a great fit for us.” “Our American Girl stores have been praised as leading models for experiential retail, and we’re thrilled to continue this success with our new location at Easton Town Center,” said Wade Opland, American Girl’s vice president of retail, in a written statement. “The mall’s upscale mix of retail and restaurants is a great fit for our brand and provides us with an amazing opportunity to debut this exciting retail concept to our American Girl fans in the Columbus area.” Easton developers agree with the perfect fit. “From its inception, Easton was designed to be a family-friendly, regional destination, and the announcement of American Girl emphasizes that focus,” said Adam Flatto, president of Georgetown Co., co-developers of Easton Town Center along with Steiner and Associates, in a written statement. “We couldn’t be more proud to associate ourselves with such an iconic brand.” The store will provide about 100 regular and 30 seasonal jobs, Spanos said.
