CAC zoning chair

Simbro: ‘Clintonville has an identity crisis’By KEVIN PARKSThisWeek Community Newspapers

At the end of the October meeting ofthe Clintonville Area Commission, zon-ing committee chairwoman Sandy Sim-bro announced that she had heard enoughof the bickering that had been going onamong members of the advisory panel.

She’s heard a good deal more, since.

And if Simbro, who has been involvedwith the area commission in one formor another for four decades, has a wishfor the New Year, it would be an answerto the question she posed back in Octo-ber:

“Where’s the civility?”Last week, Simbro said that in her ex-

perience the accusations and in-fightingthat went on between commission mem-

bers last year is unprecedented.“I don’t ever remember it being so

public,” She said. “There have alwaysbeen personality differences. Three havealways been differences of opinion, butI don’t ever remember it being so pub-lic and mean-spirited. Sticks and stonescan break your bones, but words willnever harm you, but once a word is spo-ken, you can’t take it back. Once the dam-

age is done, the damage is done, and Ithink a lot of damage has been done.”

None of the unpleasantness about com-munity representation on various CACcommittees or the reversal in late Octo-ber of an earlier position supporting aturn lane at East North Broadway andNorth High Street has served the com-munity well, in the view of the zoningcommittee chairwoman.

“Clintonville has an identity crisis,”Simbro said. “Clintonville needs to be ateam player and acknowledge and rec-ognize they are part of the city of Colum-bus. They need to learn to get along. Atthe same time, their responsibility is torepresent the community and to alwaysact in the best interests of the communi-

Women-owned firm offers cultural, environmental servicesBy KEVIN PARKSThisWeek Community Newspapers

What started out as two archeologistsscrambling to fill a void has burgeoned intoa 45-employee Northland-based companywith offices in four states offering servic-es dealing with ancient history as well ascompletely modern issues and problems.

What is today the ASC Group Inc. Cul-tural and Environmental Consultants, withheadquarters on Freeway Drive North, wasfounded by business partners and Clin-tonville residents Shaune M. Skinner andElsie Immel-Blei on April 1, 1986, as sim-ply Archeological Services Consultants.

“ASC Group Inc. is a certified, women-owned cultural and environmental resourcesmanagement company,” according to itswebsite.

The cultural part provided the under-pinnings for the enterprise when the OhioHistorical Society, as a result of a poten-tial conflict of interest, was forced to droparcheological surveys as a service offered.Skinner and Immel-Blei, archeologists forthe society, faced losing their jobs so, withthe blessing of the director, started theirown firm to provide the surveys, which arerequired by federal regulations for manytypes of development and land use.

It was a propitious time to get into thefield, so to speak, according to Skinner,now president of the company; businesspartner Immel-Blei is more involved in thefinancial end of things.

In about 1986, Skinner said, the federalOffice of Surface Mining had just been suedfor failing to comply with a requirement toconduct archeological surveys before min-ing operations started. As a result, coal com-panies were lined up waiting for a wholebacklog of these surveys to be conducted.For the first two years of the company’sexistence, all Skinner and Immel-Blei didwas surveys for mining companies, to per-mit operations to begin where nothing orarcheological significance was found or

halted where there was.“All we needed were shovels,” Skinner

recalled “Back then, people wrote reportson typewriters. We didn’t have to go outand buy a building. We didn’t have to buya lot of expensive equipment.”

With the expansion of services over theyears since,ASC Group Inc. has had to buya building, lots of expensive equipment andhas expanded to have offices in not only

CAC electionpanel works tocomplete rulesBy KEVIN PARKSThisWeek Community Newspapers

A mail-in ballot procedurebeing put forward by membersof the Clintonville Area Com-mission’s election committee be-came the focus of some contro-versy last week.

It was also the one thing thatcommittee members felt theydidn’t need to discuss furtherwhen the panel met in the Whet-stone Branch of the ColumbusMetropolitan Library.

Instead, chairwoman MaryRodgers convened her commit-tee again to go over everythingelse pertaining to the area com-mission’s election rules.

Still, e-mail chatter and a fewpeople on hand for the sessiondid not want to go over detailspertaining to the proposal to allowshut-ins and others unable to getto the polling places on electionday, or days as was being con-sidered, to use the U.S. PostalService to cast their votes in theupcoming CAC election.

“Certainly perfection just does-n’t exist,” Rodgers told one res-ident who attempted to steer dis-cussion of last week’s meeting tothe mail-in concept at the outset.

Rodgers appeared before the

area commission members at theDecember meeting in order tosound them out about the pro-posal for having mail-in ballot-ing essentially replace absenteevoting, which became the sourceof some dismay because em-ployees at the library branch, whohandled the requests for peopleunable to vote in person the dayof the election, photocopied dri-ver’s licenses and other person-al identification information forverification purposes. Subse-quently, some community mem-bers expressed grave concern thatthese documents would be con-sidered public property and openthose who participated in the elec-tion by absentee ballot up to pos-sible identity theft.

However, Rodgers was told theCAC’s December meeting wastoo full to take up the mail-in con-cept, and instead it would be re-

CAC memberslook back, aheadBy KEVIN PARKSThisWeek Community Newspapers

Members of the ClintonvilleArea Commission, offered theopportunity look back on the yearjust past and ahead to the one justdawned, had typically differenttakes on both.

“Being acommissionerand Realtor, Iwant to focuson the positiveaccomplish-ments of 2010and look for-ward to whatthe future hasin store,” chairman John De-Fourny wrote. “It is an honor toserve my neighbors and the com-munity and a privilege to sell theirhomes. Both go hand in hand. Itis all about promoting our Beech-wold-Clintonville community asone of the best places to live,work, play.

“Most noteworthy for Clin-tonville 2010-2011 is the thou-sands of hours of dedication toClintonville by all communityvolunteers, residents, commis-sioners and business owners.”

“For the Clintonville Area

Commission,the events of2010 were un-precedented,not only in myCAC tenure,but maybewithin livingmemory,” Dis-trict 1 repre-sentative Mike McLaughlin wrote.

He didn’t mean it in a goodway.

“In some ways, I think thespring and summer for us werea preview of trends that later af-fected the public discourse at stateand national levels,” McLaugh-lin continued. “In past years, theCAC has worked hard, and ef-fectively, in building consensusamong the districts of Clintonvilleto achieve enhancements for thearea as a whole.

“This year, I have seen a move-ment away from that area-widefocus. Clintonville residents mayunderstandably be reflecting in-fluences at work on the nationallevel. In a recession, people oftenturn inward, become less globalin their thinking, more protectiveand more suspicious about ex-

Although archeological inves-tigations remain a mainstay ofASC Group’s business, opera-tions have expanded to embracearchitectural history as well asecological and environmentalservices.

The latter aspects, added in theearly 1990s, provided the impe-

tus for changing the company’sname, Immel-Blei said.

It also involved bringing onboard professionals with very dif-ferent qualifications and areas ofexpertise, which made the twofounders just a bit nervous, Skin-ner admitted. For that to work,she added, it was necessary tofind the right people to employ.

“Which we have,” Immel-Bleisaid. “We’re lucky.”

The two women pride them-selves on the fact the cultural as-

pects of what they and their em-ployees do have led to preserva-tion of some important areas andartifacts.

The oldest artifact ASC per-sonnel have discovered is a pro-jectile point that dates back to atleast 10,000 B.C., Skinner said.The term arrowhead would be in-correct for such an item, sheadded, since it predates by manycenturies the invention of the bowand arrow.

“Absolutely it’s rewarding, to

know that a non-renewable re-source was saved,” Immel-Bleisaid.

This is particularly the casewhen ancient burial sites are dis-covered and preserved, accord-ing to Skinner.

“They would have been blast-ed away,” Immel-Blei put [email protected]

ty at large.”While it’s true the representatives of each

of the commission’s nine districts is obligat-ed to look out for their constituents, recog-nizing the unique nature of those sections ofClintonville, Simbro said that there has tocome a time when those concerns are set asideand the greater good takes precedence.

“I would like for people to have more ofan open mind,” Simbro said. “I would like tosee in the coming year not so much what isright and what is wrong, but what is best.

“Nine times out of 10, I think they would

find they have more in common than they re-alize.”

People seeking to work together for thebetterment of the community need to have alevel of trust in one another, in Simbro’s opin-ion. She pointed to the ongoing efforts of theCAC’s election committee to devise ways ofmaking for a more secure election processand preventing any type of fraud from beingperpetrated.

“Hey, we’re not electing the president ofthe United States here,” Simbro pointed out.“Whatever happened to trust? If I can’t trustmy neighbor, how can I trust the person onthe next block?”

If commission members were to begin ex-hibiting trust in one another, Simbro feels thatmight serve to carry on over into the com-munity at large.

Finally, the zoning panel head pointed outthat Clintonville is actually made up of 88 orso separate subdivisions that are viewed as asingle neighborhood, but that’s not being re-flected right now in the way CAC membersare treating each other.

“Clintonville does not now nor has it everexisted,” Simbro said. “It’s a state of mindand a sense of place.”

viewed at the January meeting,set for this evening at 7 in themeeting room of the WhetstoneBranch.

Therefore, Rodgers said thatthe Dec. 29 meeting was to bedevoted to tweaking the re-maining existing election rules,rather than dealing with ques-tions about the mail-in proce-dure before hearing from com-mission members.

As the five members of thecommittee worked their waythrough rules for conducting anelection that, in the past, hasdrawn at most around 400 vot-ers, they focused primarily onfinding ways to open up votingto all who are eligible to do so.This included permitting in-per-son voting on not just one day, ashad been the procedure in the pastbut instead on at least two addi-tional days.

Committee members decided,emphatically, to completely elim-inate the existing absentee pro-cedure and its controversial pho-tocopying of personal informa-tion.

“I don’t think we want this nomatter what,” Rodgers said.

Multiple in-person voting daysshould serve to replace that sys-tem, committee member JustinGoodwin said.

Rodgers raised the question ofwhether or not the votes of thosewho cast in-person ballots on theadded days should be counted

separately from the ones the dayof the actual election.

“I don’t see a compelling rea-son why they should be segre-gated,” Goodwin said.

As for separately counting anymail-in votes, should CAC mem-bers approve some form of thatmethod, Rodgers suggested thatmight be the case.

“We’re waiting for some ad-vice from them,” she added.

Although he was unable to at-tend last week’s committee meet-ing, CAC District 1 representa-tive Mike McLaughlin did weighin via e-mail. It dealt with mail-in balloting.

“There should be at least two

election committee members pro-cessing the ballot request form,”he wrote. “Having one personprocessing these requests couldlead to a tainted election by ei-ther not sending ballots to thosewho requested one or by sendingballots to those who didn’t re-quest one.”

When a resident voiced a sim-ilar concern that Rodgers, whohas said she will be responsiblefor mailing out ballots to thosewho request them, could be ac-cused of improprieties, Rodgersreplied:

“I’m a big girl.”[email protected]

ternal forces, even those that are relatively closeto home. Accordingly, the May CAC electionswere dominated by discussion of issues at the localand even block level, and by a sense of anxietyabout unknown factors affecting those issues.

“Obvious examples included suspicions aboutcity safety measures at North High and NorthBroadway intersection, shadowy rumors of a re-newed push for a Morse-Bethel connector andthreats, lately realized, of a frivolous law suit againstthe city by residents of one block trying to re-lit-igate a settled property dispute.

“The net result was an unprecedented sense of‘prickliness’ and mutual distrust among differentneighborhoods. This was reflected in May by abig change in the make-up of CAC, very similarto the partisan shift of national and state offices inNovember.”

“First, on the downside, (po-lice precinct) ‘redistricting’ hasleft the Clintonville residentswith a feeling of insecurity anduncertainty,” wrote Dave Southanof District 6. “Second, the reas-signment of community liaisonofficer Chris Riley to an areaoutside of the Clintonville com-munity has been a loss becauseof the excellent working relationship between himand the Commission. And third, dissension wasrampant in the community over the proposed in-stallation of a left turn lane on East North Broad-way-High Street.

“On the upside, the disappearance of the Clin-tonville Electric, the historic theater next to it andthe office building at Henderson/High improvedthe appearance of the neighborhood. DiscoveryPark, in front of Clintonville Elementary School,finally has been cleaned up. The installation of anew sidewalk and fence at Overbrook/High hasbeen completed in addition to a new sidewalk nearStudio 35. The repaving of DeSantis Drive andalso the upgrading done on Indianola from MorseRoad to Lincoln Drive has greatly improved thenorthern part of our communi-ty.”

“As I reflect on this year, I amgrateful for the trust placed inme as commissioner of District3,” representative James R. Blaz-er II wrote. “I have met manywonderful people and am hon-ored that I was chosen to helpsolve issues that are importantto Clintonville.”

“I have experienced awe andwonder over the past year as anew commissioner at the depthand magnitude of communityinvolvement in Clintonville, andin realizing the enormous amountof time being spent by somany smart, passionate and en-ergetic Clintonville citizens incountless ways that serve andstrengthen our community,” Jennifer Kangas ofDistrict 6 offered.

“In 2010 we increased our numbers and in-volvement of the many neighborhood and civicassociations and task forces and committees thatwork on solving problems and increasing ourquality of life in Clintonville. Clintonville resi-dents were major contributors to efforts benefit-ing environmental conservation, and our Clin-tonville Farmers Market raised awareness and ap-preciation of local food and served as a popu-lar community gathering place. Our Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center con-

tinued to serve as a beacon of light drawing at-tention to and attending to the increasing needsof many seniors and families.”

“In the spring, residents ex-pressed happiness with the city’sannouncement of their decisionto move forward with the im-provements to the intersectionof North High and North Broad-way,” wrote Sarah Snyder, Dis-trict 2 representative. “The proj-ect is needed to address nu-merous safety and traffic prob-lems at and around the intersection that stem fromthe current design. The planned improvementswere approved by the CAC in August of 2009.During 2010, the city did move forward with thedesign phase of that project and a presentationwas given to the community at a special meetingon Oct. 26.

“However, at that meeting, the surprise actionby some members of the commission to rejectthe city presentation was met with shock and dis-appointment in the community.

“The city has asked to hear from Clintonvilleresidents on this issue and I urge the residents ofClintonville to contact the mayor’s office and themembers of city council and ask them to moveforward with the project.”

“Wonderful events and traditions are in storefor 2011: Holiday Tree Lighting in December;roses in the late spring; Fourth of July fireworksand Cruises of the Ville in the summer; hometours, a Farmer’s Market, fundraisers with Mozartand pastries in the fall,” DeFourny concluded.

“It seems certain that 2011 will continue theperennial Clintonville dynamics around respon-sible development and density and parking, which,although sometimes painful, are indicative of acommunity that is healthy and growing in a pos-itive direction,” according to Kangas. “The out-pouring of volunteerism, compassion, articulatethoughts and words, generosity of money andspirit, and community action that characterizeClintonville will serve us well in 2011, whatev-er the challenges.”

“Looking forward, these growing pains arelikely to continue as long as the commission re-flects, rather than resolves, the nascent divisionsin our community,” McLaughlin wrote. “Morebroadly, I do not anticipate a return very soon todiscussions of how to enhance Clintonville as awhole, or of its role in building a better city.

“On the bright side, this change may bring newemphasis to a somewhat overlooked dimensionof CAC’s mission. Aside from our familiar roleas public policy interlocutor between neighbor-hoods and city government, we are in a positionto facilitate and inspire private volunteer efforts.”

“Looking forward to 2011, the intersection willcontinue to be a focal point as other improve-ments will be coming to the area around the in-tersection,” Snyder wrote. “The renovation ofClinton Elementary is set to begin in the springand, in December, plans were approved for therenovation of the Kroger store at the northwestcorner. Change also brings opportunity, and therenovation plans for Kroger will implement manyof the recommendations of the Clintonville Neigh-borhood Plan, including bike racks, crosswalktreatments and streescaping elements along HighStreet.

“2010 was a busy year, when many promisingprojects got their start. My hope is that the seeds,both literal and figurative, that were planted in2010 will grow and prove fruitful in 2011.”

“I’m looking forward to the challenges of 2011,”Southan offered.

Commentary

Football needs additional signing dates for recruitsOn Feb. 2, a few dozen high school

football players from central Ohio willbe among the thousands nationally whoofficially make their college decisionsknown.

For many, signing a letter of intentwill be nothing more than a formalityto complete what has been known formonths, and sometimes even years.

Accepting a scholarship offer canseem like a no-brainer for some play-ers such as Westerville Central seniortight end Nick Vannett, one of the coun-try’s best at his position who said lastJuly that playing for Ohio State wouldbe “truly a dream come true.”

Most, of course, don’t have it thateasy.

In the high-stakes world of prep re-cruiting, athletes are getting scholar-

ship offers atyounger ages thanever before.

When you’re aschool from a BCSconference such asthe Big Ten, havingan early plan for howyou’ll fill out your2011 recruiting class— and for that mat-ter, those in 2012 and

2013 — is just good business strategy.This trend hasn’t been without its

obstacles for college football programs,which often are left in limbo until theofficial signing day or later waiting forathletes to make up their minds.

In late October, Dublin Coffman sen-ior quarterback Cole Stoudt verbally

committed to Wyoming, only to an-nounce 10 days later that he would signwith Clemson.

Pickerington North senior tight endDarien Bryant, after being wooed formonths by schools that included Hawaii,North Carolina and West Virginia, ver-bally committed to Nebraska on Dec.16. Less than 48 hours later, Bryantbacked out of the commitment.

The stories of Bryant and Stoudt aresimilar to dozens of others throughoutthe nation, as teenagers attempt to makedecisions that will affect their lives foryears to come.

Could there be a way to make thesedecisions easier?

Having more options would help.That’s what college basketball per-

mits. Players are able to sign with their

respective programs in November orin April if they’re still undecided.

Why not add a football signing pe-riod in early August for those whosedecision is firm? This would allow re-cruiters to focus on the remaining ath-letes throughout their senior seasons.

Think that’s too early? Players couldbe allowed to sign in October, whichwould encourage those consideringenrolling in January to finalize theirdecision.

Another option would be to allowplayers to sign in mid-December so itwould not conflict with the playoffs inmost states.

One reason for there being no earlysigning period in college football iscoaching turnover, but this would beeliminated if a player could be freed

of his commitment if the school changescoaches.

The benefits of signing earlier wouldbe numerous.

For recruits, it undoubtedly wouldprovide a sense of relief that shouldhelp them relax and enjoy more of theirfinal year of high school.

An earlier signing period also couldhelp instill values that sometimes getlost on the recruiting trail, such as theability to make — and keep – a com-mitment.

In a world where loyalty often takesa backseat, those who are about to makethe transition to adulthood need all theguidance they can get.

2010: The Year In Review

From staff reports

As we begin 2011, we take alook back at the highs and lowsof central Ohio high schoolsports for 2010. There was trag-ic news off the field, as RicoButler, who helped the HilliardDavidson football team win theDivision I state championshipin 2009, drowned in a quarry.There were stunning upsets, in-cluding the Northland boys bas-ketball team, which lost to Ga-hanna 71-45 in a Division I re-gional final despite being rankedNo. 1 in the country and thedefending state champion. Andthere was triumph on the foot-ball field, as two members ofthe CCL, Hartley and Watter-son, captured state champi-onships.

Here’s how the year stackedup through the eyes of the sportsstaff at ThisWeek CommunityNewspapers.

We hope you enjoy the lookback at 2010 as much as we did.

1TWICE AS NICE: TheCCL has only five teamsin football but produced

two state champions in Hartleyand Watterson.

Hartley, led by running backNoah Key, defeated ChagrinFalls 34-13 in the Division IVstate final on Dec. 3 at Massil-lon’s Paul Brown Tiger Stadi-um to finish 13-2 and captureits first state championship since1986. Watterson overcame sixturnovers to beat Akron Buch-tel 13-12 in the Division III statefinal on Dec. 4 at Paul BrownTiger Stadium to finish 13-1 andwin its first state title since 2002.

Key, the Division IV Playerof the Year who rushed for2,755 yards (8.8 yards per carry)and 40 touchdowns, rushed for130 yards and two touchdownson 24 carries against ChagrinFalls, which finished 13-2.Omar Lane also had a big game,rushing for 117 yards and atouchdown on six carries. TheHawks went 5-for-5 on fourthdown, recovered an onside kickand held Chagrin Falls to 159total yards.

“I don’t know if there were aton of people who picked us towin the game,” Hawks coachBrad Burchfield said. “We tapedall the pundits saying that Cha-grin Falls is going to win thegame and played it for the kids(the night before the state final).We’re happy to take that under-dog role.”

Watterson, which won itsfinal 10 games, held Buchtel to204 total yards but was not ableto pull away from the Griffinsbecause of turnovers. The Ea-gles, who had 258 yards, lostthree fumbles and threw threeinterceptions, including one thatwas returned 80 yards for atouchdown.

With Watterson trailing 12-6,Ray Cook scored on a 3-yardrun and Tim Carter kicked theextra point to put the Eaglesahead with 10 minutes, 50 sec-onds left. On their ensuing pos-session, the Griffins drove fromtheir own 23-yard line to theWatterson 6, only to be stoppedon fourth-and-1.

Buchtel, which finished 11-4, got the ball back three playslater on the Watterson 21 as theresult of an Eagles fumble. How-ever, on second-and-15 from the

Eagles’ 26, Jared Simpsonsacked Griffins quarterbackStephen Parker for a loss of 12yards and Brad McCurdy inter-cepted Parker on the next playto help seal the victory.

“These guys know as well asI do how great of an accom-plishment this season was,” Ea-gles coach Dan Bjelac said.“There were a number of be-hind-the-scenes things that hap-pened. This team found ways toget it done all year.”

Linebacker Matt Redfield wasthe state’s co-Defensive Playerof the Year and district Defen-sive Player of the Year.

2STUNNING UP-SETS: The Northlandboys basketball team

and Gahanna boys soccer teamboth were ranked No. 1 in thecountry for much of their re-spective seasons, but neither wasable to defend their respectivestate championships, or even re-turn to the state tournament.

Northland lost to Gahanna 71-45 in a regional final on March20 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum.The loss snapped a 37-gamewinning streak for the Vikings,who finished 23-1.

Gahanna’s four-guard offensehelped it shoot 23-for-38 fromthe floor, with Stevie Taylor andRob Brandenberg (19 pointsapiece) leading the way. TheLions advanced to state for thefirst time, where they lost toeventual champion MassillonJackson 62-50 in a semifinal onMarch 26 to finish 26-1.

“As time goes on, people willremember our Northland gamemore than playing in front of15,000 people at the Schott,”said Lions coach Tony Staib,

whose team was ranked secondin the final state poll behindNorthland. “It was a team every-body said that couldn’t be beat.The way we beat them, it wasone of those magical games that

puts an exclamation point on theseason for these guys.”

Jared Sullinger, now playingfor Ohio State, had 24 pointsand 15 rebounds to lead theVikings, who lost despite out-

rebounding Gahanna 36-18.Northland, which had beaten

Cincinnati Princeton 60-58 inthe 2009 state final, spent sev-eral weeks as the No. 1-rankedteam in the country, accordingto most national polls. Amongthe Vikings’victories were a 53-52 win over Henderson (Nev.)Findlay Prep on Dec. 17, 2009,and a 47-46 win over Mouth ofWilson (Va.) Oak Hill Acade-my on Jan. 16. Both of thosegames were televised on ESPN.

Ranked first for most of theseason in the ESPN/Rise poll,the Gahanna boys soccer teamlost to Olentangy Orange 2-1 indouble overtime in a Division Iregional final on Nov. 6, mark-ing its only loss in its last 44games.

The Lions had beaten Orange3-0 on Sept. 9 and had outscoredtheir opponents 96-9. The Pio-neers lost to Centerville 2-1 ina state semifinal on Nov. 9. Ga-hanna finished 19-1-1, with itsonly other blemish being a 1-alltie against Massillon Jackson onOct. 2.

Orange’s Colton Bloecherscored the winning goal againstthe Lions with 4:24 left in thesecond overtime.

“It’s shocking,” said Gahan-na senior forward Chris Davis,who scored with 3 seconds leftin the first half to give the Lionsa 1-0 halftime lead. “We wereso determined to win. It’s dev-astating. I didn’t expect this atall. I thought we were going towin and go to the state semis.”

3 OV E R C O M I N GTRAGEDY: The Hill-iard Davidson football

team fell short in its quest to re-peat as Division I state champi-

on, finishing 13-1 after losingto Huber Heights Wayne 28-14in a state semifinal on Nov. 27.

Still, it was another success-ful season for the Wildcats, es-pecially when taking into con-sideration that the Davidsonfootball family was dealt amajor blow when running backRico Butler drowned May 25while swimming with friendsin a quarry.

Butler would have been a sen-ior this year.

“I think everyone would havetaken a 13-1 season,” said coachBrian White, whose team wonits 11th OCC championship byfinishing 7-0 in the OCC-Cen-tral Division. “Coming into thisyear, we weren’t exactly surehow everything was going topan out and what the kids’ re-action to losing Rico was goingto be. There were a multitude ofquestions about things cominginto this year.”

The Wildcats dedicated theirseason to Butler by wearing asticker with the No. 5 — But-ler’s jersey number — on theirhelmets.

“They certainly didn’t forgetabout Rico all year long,” Whitesaid. “They kept him in the backof their minds all year long, butfortunately it was kind of in theback of their minds. They usedit as just enough motivation toget themselves prepared to play,but at the same time, Mr. But-ler (Rico’s dad, Rico Sr.) evensaid back last spring when Rico’saccident happened that he did-n’t want the kids going out andplaying this year for Rico. Hewanted them to play for them-

No. 1: Watterson’s T.J. GIlles (left), Matt Redfield (39), Patrick Rhomberg (4), Brad McCurdy (11), Ray Cook (35) and the rest of the Eagles celebrate after a 13-12victory over Akron Buchtel in the Division III state championship game Dec. 4 at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium in Massillon. Fellow CCL member Hartley also won a statetitle, beating Chagrin Falls 34-13 in the Division IV final.

By Adam Cairns/ThisWeek

No. 4: Jared Sullinger had another big season for the Northlandboys basketball team, garnering Ohio’s Mr. Basketball awardfor the second consecutive season along with earning McDonald’s All-American and Naismith National Player of theYear honors. It was a bittersweet season, however, asSullinger’s Vikings, the defending state champions and top-ranked team in the country, were stunned by Gahanna 71-45 in a regional final. The Lions’ upset victory, coupled withthe Olentangy Orange boys soccer team’s shocking 1-0 winover defending state champion Gahanna in a regional final, wasvoted the No. 2 story of the year.

selves and they did a little bit ofa combination of both, and itworked out well for them.”

The Wildcats also experiencedtragedy during the 2009 seasonwhen 16-year-old Arthur Lanewas struck by a train and killedon the eve of the team’s 16-15win over Cleveland Glenville inthe state final.

4NATIONAL RECOG-NITION ON HARD-WOOD: Not only was

Jared Sullinger of the Northlandboys basketball team namedOhio’s Mr. Basketball for the sec-ond consecutive season after av-eraging 23.1 points, 11.7 re-bounds and 1.6 blocks, he wasnamed Naismith Player of theYear, an honor bestowed on thetop player in the nation.

Sullinger, a 6-foot-9 forwardnow starting for Ohio State as afreshman, also was named Mc-Donald’s All-American, JordanBrand All-American and Parademagazine Player of the Year. Hefinished as Northland’s all-timeleading scorer with 1,972 careerpoints.

Sullinger was named MVP ofthe McDonald’s All-Americangame on March 31 at Ohio State,despite having to go to a hospi-tal the morning of the game forwhat was thought to be food poi-soning. He scored 22 points andhad seven rebounds in the Eastall-star team’s 107-104 loss tothe West.

Sullinger also participated inthe Jordan Brand Classic on April17 at Madison Square Garden inNew York City.

Satch Sullinger, Jared’s fatherand Northland’s coach, wasnamed Naismith Coach of theYear.

5 SPECIAL DELIV-ERY: St. Charles golfcoach Anthony Mam-

pieri almost missed the crown-ing moment of his team’s sea-son. On the morning of the sec-ond day of the Cardinals’ domi-nating performance at the Divi-sion I state tournament, his wife,Leeanne, went into labor withthe couple’s third child.

Cristiano Matthew Mampieriwas born about four hours beforethe Cardinals teed off on Oct. 23,allowing Mampieri an opportu-nity to meet his team at OhioState’s Scarlet Course before thestart of the second round.

“He got there and gave thema pep talk before they were to teeoff and then went back to the hos-pital for a while,” assistant coachEric Horvath said. “He told mehe had a favor to ask of me, andthen takes off early.”

“Eric said that he felt like hewas the Dennis Hopper charac-ter from the movie ‘Hoosiers.’You know when Gene Hackmangets kicked out of the (basket-ball) game and hands (Hopper’scharacter) the scorebook and tellshim he’s the coach now,”Mampieri said with a wide grin.“It wasn’t anything like that, but(Eric) did a great job.”

When Mampieri returned to

the course a few hours later, St.Charles was well on its way toits second consecutive state title.The Cardinals shot a record 610,breaking the previous mark of611 set by Cleveland St. Ignatiusin 2002 and Upper Arlington in1993, and finished well ahead ofrunner-up St. Ignatius (621).

Senior Michael Ricaurte wastournament medalist with a 144over 36 holes.

Mampieri resigned as coachafter the state tournament, say-ing he wanted to spend more timewith his family.

6 RIGHT ON TRACK:The Reynoldsburg girlstrack and field team de-

fied the odds by winning a sec-ond consecutive Division I statechampionship.

Despite the fact that their par-ticipation dropped by more than50 percent from the 2009 season,the Raiders scored 56 points atthe state meet that concluded June5 at Ohio State to finish wellahead of runner-up Rocky RiverMagnificat (35).

After losing a large senior classand having two key expected re-turnees transfer, Reynoldsburghad fewer than a dozen athletescompeting by season’s end. Yet,led by sophomore DestineeGause, the Raiders were able todefend their state title. Gause wasdisqualified at state in the 100meters preliminaries because ofa false start, but she won her sec-ond consecutive 200 title (24.07seconds) and led the 400 relay(47.24) and 1,600 relay (3:48.87)to titles.

“You lose some and you winsome,” said sophomore sprint-er/hurdler Faith Washington, whowas second at state in the 300hurdles (43.28), fourth in the 100hurdles (14.7) and ran on the run-ner-up 800 relay (1:40.4) and the1,600 relay. “This year we gainedsome mature young freshmen,so losing what we did (from the2009 season) didn’t really mat-ter as much.”

The Hartley girls team nar-rowly missed winning its secondconsecutive Division II state title,as it scored 71 points to placesecond behind ClevelandCollinwood (77) and ahead of

third-place Cuyahoga ValleyChristian Academy (57).

Collinwood had competed inDivision I in 2009. That season,the Hawks shared the state titlewith Cuyahoga Valley ChristianAcademy, as both teams scored55 points.

“I can’t take anything awayfrom Collinwood. They put upthe points,” coach Richard Jonessaid. “If we can put up almost 80points and a team beats us, thenthey deserve to win.”

Though the team champi-onship eluded Hartley, the Hawkswon individual titles and brokea meet record in the 1,600 relay.

Senior Chesna Sykes won the100 (11.97) and 200 (24.22) andwas on the winning 400 relay(47.37) with CharAnna Dixon,Chelsea Scott and Jordyn Smith.Sykes also was on the second-place 800 relay (1:41.1) withAisha Cavin, Dixon and MayaPedersen.

The 1,600 relay of Taisha Fer-guson, Cavin, Pedersen and Scottfinished first in 3:49.94, break-ing the previous meet record of3:50.08 set by WarrensvilleHeights in 2009.

7QUITE A SPLASH:The Upper Arlingtongirls swimming and div-

ing team won its sixth consecu-tive Division I state title, scoring295 points to finish ahead of run-ner-up Watterson (186) in Feb-ruary at the C.T. Branin Natato-rium in Canton.

The Golden Bears won onlyone event, the 200-yard medleyrelay, but had swimmers finishin the top eight in every event.Kristyn Fulcher, Nicole Wagner,Katie VanFossen and LaurenComer teamed to win the 200medley relay in 1 minute, 46.23seconds, edging runner-up Cen-terville (1:46.67).

Abby Chin placed second infour events: the 500 freestyle(4:53.6), 200 free (1:51.24), 200free relay (1:35.97) and 400 freerelay (3:29.67).

Watterson’s Gracie Finnegan,capped a dominant career by win-ning four more state titles to fin-ish with eight for her career. Shedefended her titles in the 50 free(23.2) and 100 free (50.06) and

anchored the Eagles’ 200 freerelay (1:35.08) and 400 free relay(3:27.09) to first-place finishes.

Also on the relays were CameyRabold, Michele Rielly andSamantha Schuttinger.

“(Defending my state titles)definitely added pressure, but Icame in knowing it’s my senioryear,” Finnegan said. “I kind ofwanted to go out with a bang andbreak some records. But I hadgreat competition and I had agreat time. It was real fun.”

8THREE-PEAT: TheLakewood softball teamwon its third consecu-

tive state championship, defeat-ing Poland Seminary 1-0 in theDivision II state final on June 4.

Third baseman Kelsi Thomp-son led the Lancers’offense, pro-ducing two of their five hits, in-cluding a solo home run in thesecond inning. Pitcher AlyssaPatznick went seven innings, al-lowing six hits and one walk andstriking out four.

Lakewood finished 29-5. TheLancers’other two titles came inDivision III, as they beat Youngs-town Ursuline 5-0 in 2009 anddefeated Wellington 5-3 in 2008.

Grove City reached the statefinal in Division I, losing to Mas-sillon Perry 10-0 on June 5 to fin-ish 28-5.

9ACES ON THECOURT: Central Ohioplayers swept the Divi-

sion I and II state titles in the boystennis tournament on May 29 at

Ohio State. Worthington Kilbourne senior

Kevin Metka defeated LibertyTownship Lakota East’s ZackMueck 7-6 (11-9), 6-3 in the Di-vision I singles final, marking hissecond state title. Metka was partof the Division I doubles cham-pionship team in 2009.

Watterson junior Chris Diaz,who won the Division I doublestitle in 2008 with his brother,Philip, and placed second in dou-bles in 2009, cruised through theDivision II singles field withoutlosing a set in any of his fourmatches. He beat defending statechampion Joey Fritz of Cincin-nati Country Day 6-3, 6-2 in thefinal.

Diaz finished 31-0 in singlesmatches without losing a set andhas a 62-1 career record in highschool singles matches. He haswon a team-record 62-consecu-tive singles matches.

Upper Arlington won its state-record 15th doubles champi-onship but first since 1999 whenjunior Billy Weldon and fresh-man Stu Little defeated New Al-bany’s Riyad Bennoui and JohnHendrix 6-4, 6-1 in the DivisionI final.

For only the 10th time in the91-year history of the boys statetournament, a pair of doublesteams from the same schoolmatched up against each other inthe final when senior Andrew En-slen and sophomore ChadBuchanan of Columbus Acade-

my played senior Eoghan Bahn-son and sophomore LangstonHughes, also from Academy. En-slen and Buchanan topped theirteammates 6-3, 6-4.

10 BROTHERLYLOVE: After trad-ing the state pole

vault record with his twin broth-er, Joey, for much of the season,Olentangy Liberty junior ChrisUhle topped his sibling at the Di-vision I state track and field meeton June 5 at Ohio State. Chriscleared 16 feet, 9 inches to winthe state title and break his broth-er’s state record by an inch.

Joey placed second at state in16-0. Dublin Scioto’s MichaelShibko was third (15-8) and Ga-hanna’s Jacob Blankenship wasfourth (15-8).

“I never like knocking Joeydown, but getting the state recordwas amazing,” Chris Uhle said.“After he missed his third attempt,I was thinking, ‘This is my show.If I clear this, I’ll get first place.’”

Joey cleared 16-5 on April 13but the height wasn’t recognizedby the OHSAA because it wasset in a dual meet. Chris cleared16-6 at Liberty’s Freedom Re-lays on April 23 to set the offi-cial record, but the brothers sharedthe mark after they both cleared16-7 at the Olentangy Invitationalon April 30.

Joey then owned the record byhimself after clearing 16-8 at theDelaware County Elite Eight meeton May 6.

Bill Glover was quite fond of his appetizer: braisedpork belly drizzled with jalapeno ketchup and servedwith creamed corn.

One of his customers, who apparently had a sen-sitivity to spiciness, had other ideas and wasn’t shyin sharing her thoughts.

“She looked at me withthis real callous face and said,‘Where do you get off put-ting this on the menu? Mytongue is swollen and I can hardly talk.’”

Glover, chef and owner of Sage American Bistroin the University District, said he apologized but theguest wouldn’t relent. He asked, in front of a roomfull of astonished onlookers, what he could do tomake her happy. She said nothing and stormed offwith her dining companion, who also had a choiceexpletive for the chef.

So the customer’s always right? It depends onwho you ask.

“You always have to lean on the side of the guestis right,” Glover said. “But on the food-service sideyou can’t believe the things we encounter. Peopleleave this profession because they get bitter deal-ing with the public.”

Indeed, pleasing guests is the objective of any dili-gent restaurateur. Certainly, they have some legiti-mate complaints: a forgotten fork, cloudy wine glassor cold chicken fricassee. So how does one differ-entiate constructive criticism from downright abuse?

Industry veteran Paul Liu, owner of Haiku andBento Go Go, said customers cross the line whenthey insult the staff.

“A lot of times when you talk civilly with them,the owner or the manager talks to them, they be-have differently,” Liu said. “Sometimes they don’tand when they don’t, you politely ask them to leave.”

It’s an endless discussion in the food-service in-dustry, said Jarrod Clabaugh, director of commu-nications for the Ohio Restaurant Association.

“We always encourage our members to train theirstaffs on the importance of etiquette,” he said. “When-ever a customer’s request can be followed, like leav-ing a particular item out of a dish, they should dotheir best to meet that request.”

Most patrons are easy to please, Clabaugh said.“But, some customers’requests can be overreaching,”he said. “It’s important to walk the line carefully.”

Howard Cannon of Restaurant Consultants ofAmerica, based in Alabama, said restaurants cannever overvalue customer service. “In the old daysit was ‘The customer’s always right,’” he said. “Nowyou can barely get an operator to agree with that.Ultimately they’re not trained to believe it.”

Cannon said the industry has grown so much, sofast, that operators couldn’t teach the finer points ofservice to their staff. And, in his professional world,

there is no substitute for first-rate customer relations.“The food is an important component” of restau-

rants, he said. “But there are plenty of people whowill eat mediocre food if the service is world-class.”

His company sends secret diners in to test the de-termination of servers. They will, for example, saythey found a hair on their burger. The servers toooften will look for the wayward lock or quibble withcustomers when the solution is simple: “Toss theold one away and get them a new one,” Cannon said.

“Service is a lost art in this industry,” he said.“Those that stay focused on it usually have bettersales growth, significantly better profits and a sig-nificantly better culture and environment than thosewho don’t.”

Chalk up another one for theChalkias family — a new Fisher-man’s Wharf has opened. Sailingout dishes of high-grade seafoodfrom its Polaris-area kitchen, thisWharf is off to a brisk start.

For background, the originalFisherman’s Wharf premiered onMorse Road in the mid-’70s dur-ing a drastically more provincialdining era than we’re currently en-joying. Partially drawing on theChalkias family’s Greek heritage,it was like the restaurant thatlaunched a thousand others.

Some are still chugging along,others have long run aground, butcount among that distinguishednumber Niki’s Deli, a Fisherman’sWharf in Bexley, Fisherman’sWharf Pier II, Feta in Pickering-ton and the Big Fat Greek Kuzi-na. I’ll not bother mentioning everyeatery with ties to the Chalkiasbrood, but rest assured that if you’rea fan of Greek food in Columbus,

you’ve probably patronized aChalkias-related restaurant.

So of course Grecian accentsmake their way into the new Fish-erman’s Wharf, but as its namesuggests, this place is mostly aboutthe fish. Its nautical theme is clear-ly stated outside, where beneathporthole windows peeking throughhuge and heavy black lacquereddoors, a split-in-two captain’swheel serves as handles.

Inside, off-white walls with cop-pery swaths set off black and blueaccents. So tablecloths, menus,napkins, servers outfits and evenleftovers boxes are night shaded.Fanciful blue pops up in pretty,aquarium-riffing stained glass win-dows. There’s also a large and at-

tractive rectangular bar in the bigand bustling restaurant.

Overall, it’s a handsome, butnot chichi, establishment. Ac-cordingly, it generally draws in

regular folks splurging on excel-lent, and pricey, seafood. As forcooking and plating styles, they’veranged from straightforward toconsiderably fancier.

From the latter group, theSesame Ahi Tuna ($12) was a finestarter. Looking like a dozen domi-noes toppled in a straight row, theraw, served room temperature“tiles” of delicious sashimi-gradefish sported crunchy seared rimsencrusted with white and blacksesame seeds. Artful squiggles ofwasabi mayo and a fragrant oilprovided modernist touches —but skip the overpowering soysauce dip.

Homier but soulful was theSeafood Chowder ($4.50/cup).Actually more like a soothing po-tato soup laced with clams, itsstarchy ballast was leavened witha nicely measured tang.

Saladwise, my favorite was theeye-catching, tongue-delighting

and near meal-in-itself Captain’sArtichoke Salad ($6). Like agussied up Greek salad, its mani-fold elements (cucumber, roastedred peppers, creamy feta and muchmore) made for a dynamic com-bination.

Navigating the mammoth menufor entrees can take a while. You’llscan past delicacies like Day BoatScallops, plump Danish scampi,killer Kodiak Alaskan Red King

Crab Legs, and luscious Mainelobster tails. Want ’em all? Thenopt for the Baked Variety platter($50, but could feed two) whichrounds them up simply, perfectlycooked, dusted with seasonedbreadcrumbs and presented withlakes of garlicky melted butter.

For something “cheffier,” pickthe terrific Macadamia Nut Crust-ed Halibut ($26). Sauced with asweetish orange buerre blanc, itwas a huge and truly beautiful pieceof succulent snow-white fish.

Soft and supple, yet endowedwith bells and whistles galore(berries, bananas, nutella, whippedcream, chocolate sauce), Gina’sCrepes ($12, easily serves two)were the obviousdessert star.
