IRS debt probe to take weeks or monthsBy LISA AURANDThisWeek Community Newspapers

An independent auditor and the OhioBureau of Criminal Investigation havejoined the investigation into Grove City’sunpaid withheld federal payroll taxes.

The investigation into why the moneywasn’t paid likely will take weeks ormonths rather than days, said deputycity administrator Mike Wasylik.

The Internal Revenue Service lastmonth told the city it owed about$685,905 in unpaid taxes. An initial in-

vestigation identified more unpaid quar-terly tax returns totaling about $370,000.

The city earlier said city police alsoare investigating, and the Franklin Coun-ty prosecutor and state auditor’s officehad been contacted.

“I don’t want to portray it like we’redragging our feet,” Wasylik said, “butsince there is a criminal investigationgoing on, the BCI auditors will havesome priority over who has access towhat.”

The city plans to contract with GBQConsulting of Columbus to perform an

independent audit of the city’s books,said law director Stephen Smith Jr. ofthe Schottenstien Zox & Dunn firm.

City council president Ted Berry e-mailed Smith and the other council mem-bers Jan. 6, emphasizing that GBQ’s

audit results and recommendations shouldbe reported to city council and the cityadministration at the same time, “so con-cerns can be expressed and questionsasked.

“We also must be completely trans-

parent in this investigation,” Berry wrote,and should “make sure the citizens ofGrove City also have an opportunity tospeak and be heard.”

“This whole issue is a black eye onGrove City and we just need to makesure that the public, at every turn, hasthe chance to hear what we’re hearing,”Berry told The Record.

“It’s better if everything’s heard inpublic where we’re able to ask ques-tions, and if somebody else asks ques-

… The BCI auditors will have some priority over who has access to what.

City expectsto receivegrant forStringtown By LISA AURANDThisWeek Community Newspapers

A $6.3-million grant will help Grove City widenthe last four-lane segment of Stringtown Road.

The Ohio Public Works Commission is expect-ed to officially award Grove City the grant in Marchand distribute funds in July, city administrator PhilHonsey said.

“This project scored high enough that we’re pret-ty certain re-garding thefunding out-come,” Honseysaid.

“The city ex-pects an an-nouncement bythe state in thenext few monthsregarding thefinal funding de-cision.”

At its Jan. 18meeting, citycouncil will heara first reading of an ordinance that would approve$422,297 in professional services for the project,including engineering by EMH&T, and preparationof bid documents, Honsey said.

The project is expected to cost $7.1-million, withjust under $1-million of those costs for profession-al services, which includes engineering.

The construction will affect Stringtown Road be-tween Hoover and McDowell roads, city spokesmanDon Walters said.

“Columbus Street all the way down to Broadwayhas been widened and updated, and then from Mc-Dowell to Interstate 71 is now all perfect,” he said.

The widening of Columbus Street and StringtownRoad began in the 1980s, Walters said, when “muchof that was a two-lane road. There was no curb andgutter, no sidewalks.

“Technically we’ll now have a perfect shot downfrom Interstate 71 to the main street of the town,”he said.

The updates will include new water and sewerlines, the addition of a dedicated turn lane, street-lights, sidewalks, a dedicated bicycle lane and ADAcurb ramps. Other changes include signal timingand traffic engineering, Honsey said.

Engineering is expected to begin in late 2011 withconstruction beginning in March 2012.

Grove City preparing to survey local businessesBy LISA AURANDThisWeek Community Newspapers

Grove City is just days awayfrom sending out its first surveyof local businesses.

First, however, mayor Richard“Ike” Stage plans to send a let-ter to the city’s 1,600 business-es, asking for their participation.

City community and businessrelations officer Don Walters saidthe letter will go out within the

next week, with the survey im-mediately following.

“I have the mayor’s letter infront of me and I’m tweakingit,” Walters said Jan. 6.

The letter announces the busi-ness survey — a supplement tothe city’s biennial survey of itsresidents — and asks business-es to participate, Walters said.

Other than some slightchanges, the survey is ready tobe mailed, he said.

“We probably will refine somewording,” Walters said.

The mayor's letter will directthe businesses to a website wherethey can take the survey, Wal-

ters said.Grove City officials decided

to conduct the survey based ongrowth in the city’s business sec-tor during the last 20 years. Busi-

nesses provide 71 percent of thecity’s revenue. The hope is thatthe survey will lead to bettercommunication between the cityand its businesses.

Grove City hired Columbus-based research company Saper-stein Associates to help developthe questions and administer thesurvey at a cost of $22,000.

Questions will cover city serv-ices, business tax incentives, traf-fic flow, zoning and the efficiency

of the city’s development de-partment.

In addition, the survey mayhelp determine whether Colum-bus State Community Collegewill lease or purchase a build-ing to house the Grove City Cen-ter for Higher Education full-time.

For now, evening classes forthe learning center are being held

No newtalksset withSWCSunionsBy TOM SHEEHANThisWeek Community Newspapers

Unions representing teachersand classified employees havegone more than six months with-out reaching new contracts withSouth-Western City Schools, asituation district officials don’tthink has happened before.

Both the South-Western Ed-ucation Association and the OhioAssociation of Public SchoolEmployees, which representsnonteaching personnel, have beenwithout contracts since June 30.

Federal mediators are handlingnegotiations, but district nego-tiators have not met with SWEAsince Dec. 20 or OAPSE sincemid-November.

The mediators in the separatetalks set the meetings and no newtalks have been set for eitherunion.

Prior to the Jan. 10 schoolboard meeting, superintendentBill Wise said he did not knowhow long talks would continuewith the unions without any sig-nificant breakthroughs.

Regarding the Dec. 20 meet-ing with teachers, Wise said hecould not discuss what issues areon the table.

“I don’t feel we are signifi-cantly closer together but at leastwe are addressing the issues,”he said.

This is the first time districtofficials can remember talks witheither union going into January,he said.

SWEA president Rolla Beachsaid after the Jan. 10 meetingthat teachers are continuing tonegotiate in good faith.

A closer look

Grove City officials decided to conduct the survey based ongrowth in the city’s business sector during the last 20 years.Businesses provide 71 percent of the city’s revenue.

After “the two bargaining ses-sions in December, I was morehopeful” some movement wasbeginning, he said.

Teachers last fall began per-forming only duties required intheir contracts, and basically notworking beyond the school day.Beach said on Jan. 10 that teach-ers are discussing other meth-ods that might help speed talksalong.

OAPSE representatives, whodidn’t attend the Jan. 10 meet-ing, previously have said theschool board needs to treat clas-sified workers fairly.

Last summer, an administra-tors’ union reached a one-yearcontract with South-Western.The administrators receive nobase-pay raises and pay more to-ward health insurance.

Step pay increases — grant-ed for longevity and education

— are still being given.OAPSE and SWEA voluntar-

ily gave up base pay raises for2009-10, but received step payincreases.

The school last year earlierapproved a five-year financialforecast that includes no basestaff salary increases for fiscalyear 2011.

More than 100 teacherscrammed into the board roomfor the Jan. 10 meeting, manywearing blue SWEA T-shirts, toshow support for the union. Someheld signs proclaiming that teach-ers are united.

Three longtime South-West-ern teachers — Julie Haack,Camilla McComb and CartellPayne — addressed the schoolboard, mainly telling board mem-bers how valuable good teach-ers are to the district.

“We want a fair and equitableagreement,” Haack told theboard. “I believe I make a dif-

ference in the lives of South-Western City School students.”

McComb thanked the boardfor also supporting students butsaid teachers need to know theyhave the board’s backing, too.

“Is South-Western a placewhere teachers feel ... support-ed? Are you the board of edu-cation a supporting presence?”

Payne said South-Western isthe only district she has taughtin during her 32 years as ateacher.

She said over the years thatteachers have shown commit-

ment and loyalty to the district.The teachers deserve the respectof the board, Payne added.

Board members did not re-spond to any comments from theteachers and no one else spokeduring the public participationsegment of the meeting.

Also Jan.10, the board heldan organizational meeting.

The board members unani-mously elected Mindy Garver-ick president and Randy Reis-ling vice president for 2011.

Reisling was president thepast year.

tions, we’re able to understand what pointthey’re trying to get at.”

Berry emphasized that city council does-n’t have any more knowledge about the sit-uation than the public.

“I think some people think that the coun-cil members know what is going on, andthe fact is we don’t,” he said.

Berry pledged to keep the independentaudit proceedings public and said he wouldcall special meetings just to discuss auditresults, if necessary.

The city has taken steps to settle its bill.It paid the IRS $187,000 for the fourth quar-ter of 2010 and $300,000 in initial pay-

ments toward previous quarters beginningin 2007.

Further payments won’t be made untilthe independent auditor investigation is fin-ished and the city learns whether its appealof federal penalties and interest is suc-cessful, Wasylik said.

“That’s still a work in progress as to whatthe final bill is,” he said.

State Rep. Cheryl Grossman, mayor ofGrove City from 1996 to 2008, said stateaudits were conducted annually when shewas mayor, and they turned up no majorconcerns.

“I was shocked,” Grossman said of herreaction to the news that Grove City owedback taxes to the IRS.

“When (former city finance directorRobert Behlen) retired, (city administra-tor) Sharon Reichard had a forensic audi-tor look over the books before they hired anew finance director,” she said, adding that,as mayor, she’d had nothing to do with thecity’s books.

Assistant city finance director Jackie Kin-cade, who handles the payroll taxes, wasplaced on paid administrative leave in De-cember.

On Jan. 11, the city announced she hadretired effective Jan. 7.

Being placed on leave is standard proce-dure in these types of cases and does notindicate guilt, Smith said earlier.

Kincade has denied any wrongdoing.

If Columbus State could hold daytime classes, the centercould draw between 2,300 and 2,500 students.

That could secure a long-term future for the center, whichrelies on Columbus State’s undergraduate classes as “feeders”for higher education courses from other member institutions,including Ashland University, Mount Vernon Nazarene Uni-versity, Ohio Christian University, Otterbein University, Uni-versity of Toledo and South-Western City Schools’ adult edu-cation program.

At the request of Columbus State president David Harrison,the survey will include a handful of questions relating to theGrove City Center for Higher Education.

Questions will relate to employees’ educational needs andwhether employers would be willing to provide tuition reim-bursement or flexible work schedules, so workers could attendrelevant classes, Walters said.

The past can tell us its story ina lot of ways — with diaries, let-ters and descriptions by people ofthe events that make up their lives.We can also learn a lot about a cityby looking at pictures from time

to time, espe-cially if the pic-ture is clearand crisp andfull of detail.

And thispicture is justthat.

It was takenabout 100years ago. A

photographer placed his cameraabout a third of the way into theintersection of State and Highstreets in Columbus and aimed itto the south along High Street. Thephotographer has been careful totake a picture without too manypeople, whose rapid movementmight only show up as an occa-sional blur in the image. The pho-tographer wants as much precisedetail as possible because this pic-ture, like many others, will laterbe made into a postcard.

But in the making of the post-card image — even with a lot ofcolor added — some of the orig-inal detail of the photograph is lost.In the original photograph, muchof what made downtown Colum-bus a special place in the early1900s can be seen once again.

Columbus in the early 1900swas known as the Arch City. It iseasy to see why. Straddling HighStreet every half-block or so is aseries of metal arches illuminat-ed by electric lights and toppedwith American flags. Each of thelights is a clear incandescent lightbulb, just like the ones many of usstill use at home. And each of themneeded to be changed when theyburned out, which in those dayswas rather frequently.

Nevertheless, the arches werepopular and had been for sometime. The arches had originallybeen erected in 1888 when morethan 250,000 people came toColumbus for the 22nd annual En-campment of the Grand Army ofthe Republic. Ohio’s rather mod-est capital city had never seen any-thing quite like the tent city theveterans built during their morethan weeklong stay. The archeswere originally designed to be tem-porary and keep the streets lit dur-ing the convention to deter crime.

However, they proved to be quitepopular. Eventually, the woodenarches, lit by gas, were replacedby the metal arches lit by elec-tricity that we see in this picture.The arches also provided electricpower to the streetcars that trav-eled along the brick streets ofColumbus.

Columbus had grown a lot sincethe veterans came to town in 1888.The opening of the Hocking Val-ley’s coal, lumber and iron re-sources after the Civil War led tothe rise of several major industriesin a city that had once been most-ly a commercial and governmen-tal center. By 1910, Columbus wasa city of more than 180,000 peo-ple and, among other things, wasthe “Buggy Capital of the World.”

We are looking at the com-mercial heart of this growing city.But it is also a place where manypeople still live. Columbus, likemost cities, has a few skyscrap-ers. But most of the commercialbuildings in the city are still fourand five stories tall. Built in an erabefore elevators, they reflect the

simple fact that most people willnot walk up more than a fewflights of stairs to their homes orplaces of business. Many of thesebuildings have metal fire escapesattached to their fronts and sides.While the buildings look sub-stantial, most of their interiors aremade of wood and the threat offire is still quite real in a city wheregas lights are as common as elec-tric bulbs.

Along the sidewalk to the rightcan be seen what appear to be anumber of large stone blocks alongthe curb. These are steps to pro-vide more easy access to one’scarriage. While automobiles arebecoming a more common sight,many people still rely on horse-drawn carriages as well as thestreetcar system to make their wayaround town.

The shops and stores along HighStreet provide the widest varietyof goods and services to the peo-ple who live and work nearby.Most of these merchants haveplaced large signs on their storesand projecting from them adver-tising their services. They rangefrom Murnan’s taxi service and“sports parlor” on the left to themore elegant Goodman Jewelerson the right. In the distance on theright, at the corner of Town andHigh streets, can be seen the dis-tinctive tower of the F. & R.

Lazarus department store. There are other distinctive ele-

ments of this city of a century ago.Watches were a luxury many peo-ple could not afford; the timepieceswere worn only on special occa-sions. To help keep track of thetime, large clocks like the one atthe right of the picture stood atmany major intersections. To meetthe need for information, some ofthe city’s several newspapers weresold by newsboys (and occasion-ally newsgirls) like the ones wesee to the left of the picture.

Most of the people we see inthe picture seem reasonably well-dressed in suits and ties for themen and fashionable dresses forthe ladies. By the standards of ourtime, they are indeed well-dressedand — in mostly wool clothing— probably a bit uncomfortable.But by the standards of their day,this was just the common attire ofday-to-day life.

This was a world that hadchanged a lot during the lives ofthe people we see here. But for themost part, these people were ac-customed to change and hadlearned to live with it. And per-haps that is just as well, since a lotmore change was not all that faraway.

A bed bug report released lastweek by the Ohio Departmentof Health is waiting for a cuefrom state leaders.

After seven meetings, the OhioBed Bug Workgroup report wasreleased Jan. 5 and included 10recommendations to prevent andcontrol the spread of the bug thatcarries no disease, but feeds onhuman blood.

The workgroup formed inearly 2010 included pest man-agement, housing, governmentand public health representativesgathered “to assess the growingbed bug problem, identify howit is currently being handledacross the state and determinethe best possible approaches toassist Ohio’s citizens and com-munities in prevention and con-trol efforts,” the report said.

Bed bugs are often found nearsleeping areas and can easily“hitchhike” undetected on com-mon items such as clothing, bagsand furniture.

“During the past decade, bedbug complaints in Ohio have in-creased dramatically,” ODH di-rector and workgroup chair AlvinJackson said in a news release.“The workgroup has determinedthe best possible approaches toassist Ohio communities in deal-

ing with these pests.”Jennifer House, public affairs

officer for the ODH, said the re-port was given to the recentlysworn-in Gov. John Kasich, out-going Gov. Ted Strickland andgeneral assembly leaders.

“We’ll await guidance fromour legislative leaders on howthey’ll work this out,” Housesaid.

The workgroup is also await-ing word on a few grants thatcould move recommendationsforward.

Bed bugs have been relative-ly unknown pests in the past 50years, but recently emerged be-cause of safety and environ-mental changes, resistance topesticides available to the pub-lic and pest management com-panies, increased internationaltravel and little experience deal-ing with the bugs, the bed bugreport theorized.

Bed bug outbreaks have been

reported in homes, apartments,hotels, nursing homes, residen-tial facilities and senior livingcenters.

In central Ohio, bed bug com-plaints were under 50 in 2007,but increased to more than 100in 2008 and nearly 450 in 2009,the report said.

During the course of its work,the group identified the lack ofeducation, effective pesticides,collaboration between variousagencies and the high cost of bedbug treatments as serious road-blocks in dealing with the prob-lem.

The report recommended get-ting pest control companies “ef-fective and safe alternatives tothose (pesticides) currently avail-able for the control of bed bugs.”

Some bed bugs are resistantto currently available pesticides,which leads to the need for mul-tiple treatments. Some peoplecannot afford several treatments,

the report said.The Ohio Department of Agri-

culture has petitioned the U.S.EPA to “provide an emergencyexemption for the residential useof” the pesticide Propoxur, buthas so far been denied.

House said Strickland wroteanother letter to the U.S. EPAon Dec. 20 asking the agency toreconsider the ban on propoxur,but “right now we’re awaitingresponse.”

The report recommends con-tinuing requests for Propoxur,and asking the U.S. EPA andother federal agencies to facili-tate and register bed bug pesti-cides that are “safe, effective andaffordable.”

Other recommendations re-volve around statewide educa-tion and awareness in additionto developing ways to deal withthe problem at local health de-partments. Finding ways to helplow income people with bed bugprevention and control, as wellas inspections for hotels and mo-tels also made the list of recom-mendations.

Swimming & Diving

Kruczynski excelling for Comets girlsBy PAUL BATTERSONThisWeek Community Newspapers

Swimming often can be a discour-aging sport, but senior CarolineKruczynski tells the newcomers to theCentral Crossing High School girlsswimming and diving team not tojudge their success until the end ofthe season.

“One of the things I always tell themis, ‘You’re going to have good daysand bad ones, but you’re not going tosee how far you’ve come until the end

of the season,’” Kruczynski said. Coach Robert Boggs said Kruczyn-

ski is speaking from experience.Kruczynski hadn’t been swimming com-petitively before joining the Comets’program three years ago and struggledher first year.

“When she first started, she had justone stroke, the freestyle, and that onewasn’t very pretty,” Boggs said with alaugh. “But she is one of those peoplewho can excel at whatever she sets hermind to.”

Kruczynski now holds all but two

of the Central Crossing swimmingrecords: the 500-yard free and 100 but-terfly. This season, she set records in the200 individual medley (2 minutes, 31.7seconds) and 100 breaststroke (1:19.23)in a dual meet with Delaware on Dec.3 and the record in the 100 free (59.29)in a dual meet against Grove City onDec. 14.

Last season, Kruczynski set the pro-gram mark for the 200 free (2:12.79)at the Division I sectional meet andthe records for the 50 free (26.99) and100 backstroke (1:02.5) at the district

meet.Kruczynski doubts most of her

records have a long shelf life. “It’s really gratifying to see your

name in the record book, but I knowthere are a lot of freshmen on our teamnow that in four years will probablybreak them,” she said.

Kruczynski is sure to be tested at theOCC-Central Division meet Jan. 29 atThomas Worthington. Last season, thegirls team placed sixth with 76 points,behind Upper Arlington (432), Thomas(293), Dublin Coffman (204), Wor-

thington Kilbourne (107) and HilliardDarby (76) and ahead of Hilliard David-son (68). The boys team finished sev-enth (48), behind UA (435), Thomas(215.5), Coffman (208), Kilbourne(144.5), Davidson (111) and Darby(106).

Thanks to UA, the OCC-Central isone of the toughest conferences in thestate. Last season, the UA girls wontheir sixth consecutive Division I statechampionship and the UA boys fin-

Girls Basketball

Central Crossing seeks better offenseBy JEREMY STEWARTThisWeek Community Newspapers

The next time the Central Cross-ing High School girls basketball teamplays Thomas Worthington, it hopesthe result is different.

The Comets’ offense fell stagnantlast Friday in a 66-46 loss at Thomas,marking the second game in a row inwhich that happened. Central Cross-ing closes the regular season Feb. 11at home against the Cardinals.

“We definitely want to win againstThomas Worthington on our seniornight, so that’s going to be a biggame,” senior post player AllissaTurkovich said. “We’re going to haveto work on moving the ball on of-fense and getting better shots and fin-ishing.”

Five days earlier, the Comets fell toWorthington Kilbourne 36-23. Theiroffense disappeared in the fourth quar-ter, as they were outscored 17-1 inthe period.

“We just have some work to do of-fensively moving the basketball andsetting better picks,” coach NeilHohman said. “It seems like the girlswere shooting the shots, but we’renot hitting as many and that’s kindof slowing us down and making us alittle hesitant.”

The Comets have had good offen-sive production from several players,including leading scorer Jalynn Gra-ham, who had 20 points last Friday.Another one of those players has beenguard Lindsey Carmean, who is outwith a broken finger. Carmean is ex-pected back before season’s end, buther absence has taken away a con-sistent ball-handler.

Central Crossing’s goal of movingup in the OCC-Central Division tooka hit with the loss to Thomas. It wasthe Comets’ fifth consecutive leagueloss.

The loss dropped Central Cross-ing to 2-5 in the OCC-Central. Dublin

Coffman, Thomas and Upper Ar-lington are tied for first at 6-1, fol-lowed by Hilliard Davidson (4-3),Kilbourne (3-4), Central Crossing,Hilliard Darby (1-6) and Westland(0-7).

The Comets, who finished fifth inthe OCC-Central last season, can earnthe unofficial title as the top team inSouth-Western City Schools.

Central Crossing plays host to West-land on Friday. A win would give theComets a sweep over SWCS teams

Grove City Christian Roundup

Boys basketball team getting back to basicsBy FRANK DiRENNAThisWeek Community Newspapers

Grove City Christian School boysbasketball coach Chris Timlin prom-ised an emphasis on the basics whenhis team returned to practice this week.

The Eagles are 2-7 overall and 0-4in the Mid-Ohio Christian AthleticLeague heading into their game againstGahanna Christian on Friday.

Timlin pointed to turnovers and col-lapses in the final quarter as the pri-mary reasons for his team’s struggles.The Eagles are averaging 18 turnovers,have allowed an average of 24.2 pointsin the fourth quarter and are shootingjust 53 percent (71 of 135) from thefree-throw line.

“I definitely think we should havea couple more wins,” Timlin said. “Wehave what it takes to be successfulagainst our opponents. We’re havinga real difficult time slamming the doorshut when we have our opportunities.We’re struggling right now getting theball into the basket.

“The foul line has been a huge de-terrent for us so far this season. It has

cost us a couple of (wins), and that’sreally frustrating because that’s some-thing I pride myself on and that’ssomething we work very hard at inpractice.”

Grove City Christian’s last gamewas a 63-56 loss to Madison Christ-ian in a MOCAL contest Jan. 6.

Timlin said because of long stretch-es between games his team has em-phasized improvement during prac-tice. The Eagles have eight days be-tween their loss to Madison Christianand their contest against GahannaChristian. After facing Gahanna Chris-tian, Grove City Christian will haveanother eight days off before playingDelaware Christian on Jan. 22.

Gahanna Christian has emerged as atop team in the MOCAL, as it was 4-2overall and 3-1 in the MOCAL beforeplaying Temple Christian last Tuesday.

Last season, the Eagles split theirtwo league games with Gahanna Chris-tian, winning 78-60 and losing 69-48.

Senior Sam Hatfield, who saw lim-ited playing time last season, leadsGrove City Christian in scoring at 9.4per game.

“We’re starting to understand howcoach Timlin wants to run everythingand everybody is starting to buy intohis system,” Hatfield said. “Since we’restarting to buy into everything, every-thing is starting to click better.”

Senior Jonathan Clark and sopho-more Derek Vaughn both are averag-ing 9.2 points, followed by junior BenWhitaker at 8.1.

“Obviously, when you lose morethan you win, you’re frustrated,” Tim-lin said. “I could see even (in the lossto Madison Christian) that the kidswere frustrated. The one thing that

they’re going to find out about me isthat I know how to take a punch andget right back up. I’m hoping that phi-losophy will translate during the sec-ond half of conference play.”

•Girls coach Megan Little believesmuch of her team’s struggles stemfrom an inconsistent schedule.

After beating Madison Christian51-47 on Dec. 18, the Eagles did notreturn to action until Jan. 4 when theylost to Wellington 43-38.

“It’s mental mistakes,” Little said.“We had too many days off at Christ-mas break. I was hired so late that I

couldn’t get us into a holiday tourna-ment. I tried, but they were all bookedup. It’s tough to go a whole Christ-mas break, especially when you gointo a Christmas break with the kindof momentum that we had coming outof the Madison Christian game. I wasafraid that we would show up flatagainst Wellington, and that’s exact-ly what happened.”

Grove City Christian was 3-6 over-all and 2-2 in the MOCAL before play-ing Gahanna Christian last Tuesday.

The Eagles lost 54-29 to FairfieldChristian last Friday. Little was dis-appointed with her team’s first-halfeffort but saw improved play in thesecond half. Mianna Webber led GroveCity Christian with 10 points andBrooke Warner scored seven.

“One of the biggest things from lastyear to this year is this team doesn’tgive up,” Little said. “Even when we’redown by a lot, the girls fight back init. They’re really pulling together as ateam. We are so close to putting it alltogether.”

ished third at state.“It always pushes us,” Boggs

said of the league meet. “We geta chance to see what the realcompetition is like and it forcesus to get better. It’s an advan-tage for us, but at the same time,it can be frustrating.”

•The Grove City boys andgirls teams believe the Picker-ington Central Invitational onJan. 22 at the Lancaster YMCAwill serve as a barometer.

In addition to the Greyhoundsand Central, expected to com-pete at the meet are CentralCrossing, Amanda-Clearcreek,Bloom-Carroll, Canal Win-chester, Darby, Davidson, Fair-field Christian, Fisher Catholic,Hilliard Bradley, Lancaster,Olentangy Orange, Pickering-ton North and Reynoldsburg.

“This is the first time we’veswam at this meet before, so wedon’t know what to expect,”coach Amy Miller said. “Anevent like this should show uswhere our kids are and whatevents they should be swimmingin when they compete in the(OCC-Ohio meet on Jan. 29 atThomas Worthington).”

The boys team has been ledby senior Braxten Judkins, whoplaced fifth (48.92) in the 100free and seventh in the 50 free(22.32) at the Ned Reeb Invita-tional on Dec. 11 at Ohio State.

The girls team has been led

by junior Ashley Miller whoplaced 22nd (2:05.58) in the200 free and 28th (1:04.18) inthe 100 back at the Ned ReebInvitational.

“The kids are swimming fasterthan they were (at this time) ayear ago,” coach Miller said. “Lastyear, we weren’t sure what was

going to happen because the(South-Western City Schools)levy hadn’t passed (before theseason). This year, they put inmore hours of training for theyear.”

for the second year in a row. The Comets defeated Franklin Heights 59-

20 last Saturday behind 15 points from guardKourtney Inks. Central Crossing took controlof the game by holding the Falcons to five pointsin the first half. The Comets beat Grove City57-36 on Dec. 18 and defeated Westland 75-37on Dec. 3.

In the first game against Westland this season,Carmean had 16 points, followed by Jasmin Clarkwith 13 points, Graham and Inks with 12 pointsand Olivia Davis with 11.

Westland still is searching for its first win. TheCougars fell to 0-11 overall after losing to Darby54-40 last Friday.

“One of our major goals this year is for thesecond time to win the South-West district,”Turkovich said. “We’re looking for a win (overFranklin Heights) and another one against West-land.”

•Grove City rode an eight-game losing streakinto last Tuesday’s game against Ready.

The Greyhounds will face a stern test todaywhen they travel to Pickerington North, whichbeat Grove City 78-24 on Dec. 2.

The Greyhounds are sixth at 1-6 in the OCC-Ohio, behind Reynoldsburg (7-0), North (5-1),Gahanna (5-2), Newark (4-2), Pickerington Cen-tral (3-4) and Lancaster (2-5) and ahead of Grove-port (0-7).

Wrestling

Rapid weight loss a concern for competitorsBy JEREMY STEWARTThisWeek Community Newspapers

Wrestling is different from otherhigh school sports. If an athlete does-n’t make weight, he doesn’t compete.It is the only team sport in whichweight, more than skill, determines aposition. That’s why one of the mostimportant times on competition day isthe weigh-in.

The NCAA and high school athlet-ics associations across the country havetried to stamp out the practice of rapidweight loss since collegiate wrestlersBilly Jack Saylor, Joseph LaRosa andJeff Reese died trying to make weightin 1997.

The OHSAA has been heavily in-volved in the weigh-in process sincethe 2006-07 wrestling season. Coach-es interviewed by ThisWeek unani-mously agreed the OHSAA’s weightcertification program has been a pos-itive, but they said there are questionsabout its effectiveness and its fairnessto athletes who also compete in a fallsport.

“I think the idea of the (program) isgood, but it doesn’t eliminate the severeweight cutting,” Reynoldsburg coachJared Ball said. “They crash early. Theidea now is to be at their weight at thebeginning (of the season).”

Each of the college wrestling deathscame after a period of extreme weightloss.

Reese was trying to get down to the150-pound weight class and had losta reported 17 pounds in three days. Se-verely dehydrated, the Michiganwrestler died in the locker room atCrisler Arena in Ann Arbor as he triedto weigh-in.

Saylor, a Campbell Universitywrestler, and LaRosa, who competed atWisconsin-La Crosse, died under sim-ilar circumstances.

The OHSAA’s weight certificationprogram attempts to eliminate rapidweight loss by establishing a minimumweight at which a wrestler can com-pete during the season. The minimumweight, called the “alpha weight,” takesinto account hydration level and body-fat percentage.

Teams typically spend an afternoonduring the preseason getting the entireroster certified. Wrestlers undergo a

urinalysis to prove they are not dehy-drated, and once adequate hydration isestablished, they have their body-fatpercentage determined.

If a male wrestler’s body fat is 7 per-cent or less (12 percent or less for fe-males), he is not allowed to wrestle ata weight class lower than his weightat the time of certification. Wrestlerswith more than 7 percent body fat areallowed to lose weight, but only insmall weekly amounts determined bythe OHSAA’s weight-loss formula.

“The only guarantee that you’ll be al-lowed to wrestle at a certain weight isif you weigh in at that weight hydrat-ed,” Ready coach Chance Van Gundysaid. “If you’re hydrated at 140 (pounds)with 7 percent body fat, you’ll be ableto wrestle 140. But if you weigh 140.1,you have to wrestle up.”

Since this formula determines whereathletes can wrestle once the seasonstarts, Van Gundy meets with prospec-tive team members early in the fall to

determine where they might fit in thelineup once the season begins. Thishelps wrestlers establish a goal weightand they can use the fall to trim downbefore getting certified, unless they’replaying a fall sport.

Getting in shape for wrestling is es-pecially difficult for football players. Atthe heavier weights, football andwrestling have some shared benefits,but most of the weight classes would beconsidered small for football players.

No one knows the difference in con-ditioning philosophy like Jason Hack-ett, a football player and state cham-pion wrestler for Hamilton Townshipwho graduated in 2003.

“Football coaches push size to havebigger, stronger kids,” said Hackett,who now coaches at Hamilton Town-ship’s middle and high schools. “I’dlike to see (the hydration test) in themiddle of the season. They’ll lose thatweight just because they work that hard(in wrestling practice). I loved football

and wrestling, but they’re differenttypes of conditioning.”

In 2002, Hackett won a Division IIstate wrestling championship at 171pounds after he helped the football teammake the playoffs. Had the hydrationtest been in place at that time, Hackettsaid he wouldn’t have been able to com-pete at 171. He ended the football sea-son at 205 pounds and needed until Jan-uary to lose the weight. According tothe rules at the time, he had to wrestlehalf of his matches at his lowest weightto be eligible for the postseason.

“It took a lot out of me,” Hackettsaid of losing the weight. “I really dolike how the hydration test is set up.The way I look at it, you might have tobump up a weight, but you’re going toneed that strength. You can’t cut weightto where you’re not going to be ableto step on the mat.”

Hackett also said finding the prop-er weight class is important. He saidmoving down in weight can give a

wrestler an advantage, because heshould have a larger frame and strongermuscles than a competitor who is nat-urally smaller. Hackett’s success at 171pounds earned him a scholarship toArizona State.

The need for some to lose weighthad some like Pickerington Centralcoach Jason Allen calling for a laterstart to the wrestling season. Olentangycoach Matt Hammons wanted to levelthe playing field by having the OHSAAuse the same assessor to run the weightcertification tests.

Perhaps no school in the area dealswith the dichotomy of football andwrestling conditioning like HilliardDavidson. In wrestling, Davidson wonthe Division I district championshiplast season and was chosen to repre-sent the Central District at the stateduals on Jan. 9. However, three ofDavidson’s four state qualifiers lastyear were members of the football team,which won the Division I state cham-pionship in 2009 and made it to a statesemifinal this past fall.

Had Davidson won its state footballsemifinal on Nov. 27, wrestling statequalifiers Chase Delande, Nolan Gilland Alex Mickley would have been play-ing football on Dec. 4, the same day thatthe wrestling team opened its season.

Because he played football at alighter weight, Delande was able tojoin the wrestling team for the openeron Dec. 4, but Gill and Mickley did-n’t make their debuts until Dec. 28.

Coach Dominic DiSabato had to putoff filing weight certifications until Gilland Mickley were able to reach their tar-get weights. Not only did the pair missnearly a month of the season, but David-son also had to postpone a Dec. 16 dualwith West Jefferson until Jan. 26. Mick-ley was listed at 170 pounds on thefootball roster and is wrestling at 152.Gill was listed at 174 for football andis competing at 140 for wrestling.

“My first day back I lost like fivepounds, and then the next day it wasanother five pounds,” Mickley saidDec. 16.

“Then the next day I would eat thelittlest thing and be right back up. Lastweek was tough, but this week theweight really started dropping.”



Hilliard Davidson senior Nolan Gill (right) battles Mark Martin of Lakewood St. Edward in a first-round match at 135pounds during the Division I state tournament last season. Gill was listed at 174 pounds as a football player for theWildcats last fall and his wrestling season was delayed until he could lose weight in order to compete at 140 pounds.

One day, a presently-youngfilm composer/pianist will

perform a concert paying tributeto Dave Grusin, the AcademyAward-winning film composerwho, this weekend, pays tributeto film composer Henry Manciniin concerts with the ColumbusJazz Orchestra.

Or at least if there’s any justice,one will.

Point being, Grusin’s career isheavily influenced by the greatMancini, so it would be appro-priate to carry on the tradition.

The CJO program is “A Nightat the Movies,” and features Manci-ni tunes like The Pink PantherTheme and Baby Elephant Walkalongside other classic film reper-toire, including Somewhere Overthe Rainbow and As Time GoesBy.

A jazz pianist (and record labelexec — he’s the “G” in contem-porary jazz giant GRP Records)as well as composer, Grusin’s filmscores include Heaven Can Wait,On Golden Pond and Tootsie.

Tickets for the Jan. 14-15 con-certs at the Southern Theatre are$41-$49. Call (614) 294-5200.

After Brooklyn Pizza opened onNew Year’s Day, the New Yorkers start-ed filing in.

One guy was from Brooklyn, anoth-er from Staten Island. Long Island wasrepresented, as was Albany.

Owner Anthony La Cerva didn’tknow therewere so manyEmpire Statetransplants liv-ing in centralOhio.

“There’s a lot of pressure on me,” hesaid.

But it seems he has a hot, cheese-dripping commodity – a New York-stylepizza, complete with a crispy, foldablecrust, 100-percent mozzarella and ahouse-mixed sauce.

“The only thing that’s missing is thewater,” he said.

La Cerva’s goal was to create a truepizzeria, similar to the ones his fatherowned in the New York metropolitanarea.

“When I was a kid, I was stuck at atable folding pizza boxes,” he said.

Thin-crust pizzas, cut into trianglesno less, appeared to be an anomaly incentral Ohio. Rarer still were by-the-slice options.

“Maybe the pizza places (in town)don’t think they make enough moneyon it,” he said. “I’m stumped. In NewYork, they’re all over the place.”

Brooklyn Pizza, a carryout at 30Grace Drive, has taken over the formerJoshua’s Pizza in a strip center just north

of the restaurant-laden intersection atLiberty and Olentangy streets. La Cervasaid he’s somewhat concerned aboutthe lack of foot traffic in his strip cen-ter but is confident his product is sin-gular enough to draw people from allover the region.

“I want to be the exclusive,” he said.“Everybody’s going to have to comeover here.”

Pies come in 14 and 16 inches, plusa 16-by-16 Sicilian alternative. Top-pings include the traditional to moredesigner choices, such as roasted redpeppers, sun-dried tomatoes. A 16-inch

pepperoni, for example, is $15.50. Aslice of pep is $2.

Other products, such as calzones,strombolis and Italian dinners, will bephased in over time. Delivery is not yetan option.

The place is open for lunch and din-ner hours daily. For more information,call 614-436-8900.

In other news from Powell:Count Jodi Starling as a proud pur-

veyor of goetta.Known as Cincinnati caviar, the Ger-

man sausage fortified with steel-cut

oats is being served at Starling’s newbreakfast-and-lunch spot, Jodi’s HomeCooking, which recently took over the29-seat Grace Diner space at 240 N.Liberty St.

She admits that most customershaven’t even heard of it.

“But once they taste it, they love it,”said Starling, who ran the Sunbury Grillfor three years.

It has myriad uses – for example,complementing omelets – or is enjoy-able as a side, she said. Starling’s cus-tomers can get a GLT – a goetta, let-tuce and tomato sandwich.

She also has a parade of homemadedishes, including buttermilk biscuitsand gravy, soups, chili, pancakes andsuch. Her potatoes are fresh-cut andher burgers are hand-patted.

Prices range from $3 for a la carteitems to $7.99 for meals.

“I love to cook. I like to cook any-thing,” she said. “I’m not much of abaker. I love to cook comfort food thatfills people up.”

Jodi’s Home Cooking is open forbreakfast and lunch Tuesday throughSunday, closed Monday. For more in-formation, call 614-785-0474.

Blue Agave, a new restaurant fromthe founders of El Vaquero, has openedin the Polaris area.

The Mexican restaurant has takenover the former Barnum & Tibbettssite, 496 Polaris Parkway.

The menu is essentially the same asthe other El Vaqueros but there are a

few additions, general manager Ed-uardo Pedroza said. One is the table-side preparation of guacamole, usingfresh ingredients, he said. An order for$5.99 serves more than two people.Other variations include more seafooddishes, vegetarian options and the choiceof spinach and wheat tortillas.

The restaurant is open for lunch anddinner daily. For more information, call614-891-6011.

The BeatArts, eats and fun in central Ohio

Except for the hardest-work-ing and quickest-moving waitstaff in town — servers literally,stunningly and unfailingly jogacross its wide-open and wind-ing-around spaces — Poblano’sis nothing you haven’t seen be-fore.

That said, this bright and tidynewish Mexican restaurant’s foodwas consistently a cut above thenorm.

Occupying a rambling, dou-ble-decker edifice spread out overseveral rooms, Poblano’s is a bigand splashy establishment. Kindof fun in a kitschy and touristyway, its brash color scheme al-ternates from one tropically tint-ed wall to the next.

So as your head whirls as youtry to follow that kinetic wait staffmoving to the beat of relentless-ly uptempo cumbia music, youreyes will rush past tones like tan-

gerine orange, avocado green,mango yellow and chili pepperred.

After the arrival of fresh andabove-average chips and salsa,you’re probably going to wantsome of the slightly orange-fla-vored house margaritas. I rec-ommend the worth-it upchargefor a lasts-forever (and potent!)half pitcher of “Poblano’s” Mar-garitas ($17) made with Horni-tos tequila and Cointreau.

Appetizer-wise, though thehomey, oregano-flecked and saltychicken and tortilla soups wereboth pleasant enough (each$2.50), my favorite starter wasthe extra-large and super-valued

Whitefish Ceviche ($6.50). I likedhow its abundant, creamy and un-blemished avocado chunkscalmed down the assertive yetenticing fresh lime juice mixture

(with diced tomato and onion) inwhich the plentiful chopped rawfish was “cooked.”

From the “House Specialties”entrees, El Amigo ($15) will def-initely live up to its name and beyour friend — if, like me, you’rea big eater. A virtual Mexicansmorgasbord on a single plate, itwas spilling over with nicelyseared shrimp plus rice and beans(they grace most every meal andyes, they’re better than most),crisply grilled slices of thin beef(carne aside) and a boneless, skin-less chicken breast. Both terres-trial proteins tasted great beneaththeir layers of rich melted Mex-ican cheese and zesty, greasychorizo (but what wouldn’t?)

Real Mexican chiles rellenoshave an eggier batter than yougenerally get in America. SinceI got something approximatingthat at Poblano’s, I’d rate theirs

($10.50) on the higher side. Imixed and matched a chicken(stewy) with a beef (hamburgervastly improved by being cookedwith onion, carrot and potato) tofine effect.

Though I doubt it was com-pletely made from scratch, themole sauce on my EnchiladasPoblanos ($9.50) was thicker, lesssweet, richer and more complex(tasting of roasted chilies with ahint of cinnamon) than average.

It was slathered over a trio of tor-tillas wrapped around chickenstewed with rajas (roasted poblanopepper strips). Nice.

Also quite nice was a massiveplatter of Chile Verde ($11). Thatone featured huge chunks of ten-der, stewy pork shoulder en-livened by a piquant tomatillosalsa.

I’m a sucker for Pastel de TresLeches, and Poblano’s version($4.50) did not disappoint. Soakedin sweetened condensed milk,slightly perfumey and elaborate-ly decorated with caramel icingpiped into rococo decorations, itwas a piece of cake that tasted asgood as itlooked.

The audience is the guest list for Tony N’Tina’s Wedding.The longest-running off-Broadway comedy is an interactive

affair, for which, as the happy couple exchanges vows, the audienceplays the part of family and friends joining them for the receptionfeast and the hilarious family drama that ensues, courtesy of theNunzio and Vitale “families.”

This all-inclusive, interactive matrimonial experience includesthe ceremony, reception, a sit-down, Italian baked ziti dinner, cham-pagne toast, wedding cake, music, dancing and much more.

In addition to cast members straight from the NYC production,19 local actors will be in on the fun.

Tony N’ Tina’s Wedding plays the Cardinal Health Ballroom atthe Lincoln Theatre Jan. 20-30 for 10 shows. Tickets are $65/$75.Call (614) 469-0939.

For folks who might consider taking in the show but don’t knowquite what to expect, director Tony Lauria (not that Tony) was kindenough to answer some questions for The Beat.

The Beat: What should I wear?Tony Lauria: Dress comfortably, casual. If you have a wild side,

wear something fun but not something that pulls focus.TB: Should I bring a gift?TL: Many people bring gag gifts. Folks have brought anything

from a cheap bottle of Wine i.e: 2 Buck Chuck, to re-gifts, gag gifts,to marital aid gifts etc. You can personally hand them to the brideand groom!

TB: What’s happening when we “enter the scene”? When it’stime to begin, will it be more like a show or a wedding?

TL: Characters will arrive on the scene about 20 minutes before“curtain.” The party starts as soon as you arrive and grab a beer. Youwill feel like you are attending the most outrageous wedding youhave ever been to in your life!

TB:Will there be dancing?TL:Yes, plenty, so wear comfy shoes.TB: How “interactive” should I plan to be? TL: You should be as interactive as you are comfortable with

without being inappropriate.TB: Is there an example (maybe something that has actually hap-

pened somewhere) of something that’s too interactive?TL: Yes, we have had overzealous guests get a bit too personal

with some of the actors. Common sense is encouraged. You are notallowed to touch the Nun or the Stripper! Unless of course you areinvited to!
