6.9-mill school levy headed for May ballot

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard school board voted 4-1 Jan. 10 to place a 6.9-mill levy on the May ballot.

Hilliard City Schools treasurer Brian Wilson said that if approved, the levy would cost a homeowner an additional $211.31 per year in property taxes

per $100,000 of value.

Andy Teater moved to adopt the resolution, and new vice president Lisa Whiting seconded it.

After much discusAndy Teater sion from board members and the public, Teater, Whit-

ing, Dave Lundregan and new president Doug Maggied voted in favor of the ballot issue. Paul Lambert cast the lone no vote.

Lambert moved to postpone the vote and to hold a special meeting to talk more about the millage rate.

“I don’t feel we’ve done our due diligence,” Lambert said. “I think we need to do more examination of the num-

bers…6.9 mills doesn’t fund the fiveyear forecast.”

In a November meeting, the board considered three different levy options: 6.9, 8.9 and 9.9 mills. Wilson thought those millage rates could keep the district in the black through fiscal years 2013 2014, and 2015, respectively.

Lambert said he has developed 20 different funding options for the board

to consider, and he thought an emergency levy with a higher millage rate might be preferable to a permanent levy.

He wondered if the 6.9 rate was based simply on “what the market will bear.”

Whiting said she used the information Lambert gave her as part of her decision-making process, as well as “many See SCHOOL LEVY, page A2

Doug Maggied will be the 2011 school board president for Hilliard City Schools.

Lisa Whiting will be vice president. Maggied and Whiting were nominated and elected at an organizational meeting prior to the board of education meeting Jan. 10 at Hoffman Trails Elemen- Doug Maggied tary.

Maggied said this will be his fourth time as president. He replaces Andy Teater, who said the appointment takes effect immediately. Maggied led the BOE meeting.

“We’ve got a levy, and we’ve got a lot of work to maintain our Lisa Whiting state ranking (Excellent with Distinction) on our grade card,” Maggied said after the organizational meeting. “We’ve got to continue giving our kids the best education we can give them. In today’s economy, it’s a challenge. We’ve got the highest gradecard rating in the state you can get, and when you’re on top, there’s only one way to go, and none of us want to do that.

“I think the levy will be a challenge in today’s economy. That aside, we’re still going to pay attention to educating kids and giving people in the community the education that they’ve come

Schonhardt will seek third term as mayor

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hilliard Mayor Don Schonhardt has told ThisWeek he will seek a third term and is currently collecting signatures to get on the ballot for the May primary.

“I kind of feel obligated,” Schonhardt said.

“Everybody who has been part of an organiza-

tion in a leadership role and ultimately moves on wants to see that organization be as successful after they’re gone as when they’re there. I would obviously like to see it through these tough times so that when somebody else takes the reins, Don Schonhardt hopefully they’ll take the reins

Dispatching services main topic of Norwich meeting

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers Dispatching services was the main topic of a special Norwich Township trustees meeting held on Jan. 6.

At the meeting, the trustees said there had been no response to a letter sent Dec. 13 to Hilliard Mayor Don Schonhardt in regards to fire dispatching services.

The letter states, “Recently, we negotiated a new contract with the city of Hilliard for fire dispatching services. During the negotiations, it was determined that the city’s current cost for fire dispatching was approximately $250,000 per year.”

According to trustee Chuck Buck, the township has long shared emergency medical and fire dispatching services with Chuck Buck

the Hilliard Police Department. A decade ago, Buck said, “there was a need for the city to buy $1 million of radio equipment. They didn’t have the money, and we said, we’ll buy it, and what will you do for us buying it?”

Buck said the city agreed to waive the $42,000 per year the township was paying for dispatching at the time. That contract expired in November, and the township budgeted to pay $50,000-$100,000 for the annual cost of dispatching services, Buck said.

“They presented us in November a contract for dispatching that would cost us $250,000 a year.

From 0 to $250,000 is a pretty significant increase,” Buck said.

During the special meeting, fire chief David Long discussed the possibility of sharing the dispatching with another community or township at a fraction of the current cost. Trustee Mike Cope See DISPATCHING SERVICES, page A5

term limits and cleared the way for Schonhardt to seek a third term.

Schonhardt, 60, a Republican, has a degree in Business Administration from the Ohio State University in 1974. A certified government financial manager, he is the owner of Donald J. Schonhardt and Associates, Inc., which provides accounting and consulting services to public-sector clients. He is married and has six children.

Schonhardt said he’s lived in the Hilliard area since 1990, and had his property annexed into Hilliard in 1998.

Prior to becoming Hilliard’s mayor in 2004, Schonhardt was council president. He previously worked for the city of Columbus and was finance director for the city of Upper Arlington.

Schonhardt cites his experience in government, accounting and finance as reasons to re-elect him for a third term as mayor.

“It would be extremely difficult for anyone to step into the position that didn’t have the background, the experience and the understanding of how the organization operated to deal with the conditions that we’re dealing with right now,” Schonhardt said. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

to go before the voters for three years since the passage of the 2008 levy.

“Historically, schools are on the Ohio ballot every two years, even in good times,” Maggied said. One of the challenges will be to explain to people why the levy needs to pass, he said.

“We’ve never had a levy where we didn’t educate the public.”

The board members agreed to hold a special meeting, and then voted on the levy.

As the nearly two-hour meeting drew to a close, Lundregan thanked the public for its input.

“This is one of the best sessions we’ve had,” he said.

The board will need to pass a second resolution at its Jan. 24 meeting for the levy to go on the ballot, Wilson said. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

As it were

State and High streets: A picture from the past The past can tell us its story in a lot of ways — with diaries, letters and descriptions by people of the events that make up their lives.

We can also learn a lot about a city by looking at pictures from time to time, especially if the picture is clear and crisp and full of detail.

And this picture is just that.

It was taken about 100 years ago. A photographer placed his camera about a third of the way into the ED intersection of LENTZ State and High streets in Columbus and aimed it to the south along High Street. The photographer has been careful to take a picture without too many people, whose rapid movement might only show up as an occasional blur in the image.

The photographer wants as much precise detail as possible because this picture, like many others, will later be made into a postcard.

But in the making of the postcard image — even with a lot of color added — some of the original detail of the photograph is lost. In the original photograph, much of what made downtown Columbus a special place in the early 1900s can be seen once again.

Columbus in the early 1900s was known as the Arch City. It is easy to see why. Straddling High Street every half-block or so is a series of metal arches illuminated by electric lights and topped with American flags. Each of the lights is a clear incandescent light bulb, just like the ones many of us still use at home. And each of them needed to be changed when they burned out, which in those days was rather frequently.

Nevertheless, the arches were popular and had been for some time. The arches had originally been erected in 1888 when more than 250,000 people came to Columbus for the 22nd annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Ohio’s rather modest capital city had never seen anything quite like the tent city the veterans built during their more than weeklong stay. The arches were originally designed to be temporary and keep the streets lit during the convention to deter crime.

However, they proved to be quite popular. Eventually, the wooden arches, lit by gas, were replaced by the metal arches lit by electricity that we see in this picture. The arches also provided electric power to the streetcars that traveled along the brick streets of Columbus.

Columbus had grown a lot since the veterans came to town in 1888.

The opening of the Hocking Valley’s coal, lumber and iron resources after the Civil War led to the rise of several major industries in a city that had once been mostly a commercial and governmental center. By 1910, Columbus was a city of more than 180,000 people and, among other things, was the “Buggy Capital of the World.”

We are looking at the commercial heart of this growing city.

But it is also a place where many people still live. Columbus, like most cities, has a few skyscrapers. But most of the commercial buildings in the city are still four and five stories tall. Built in an era before elevators, they reflect the

simple fact that most people will not walk up more than a few flights of stairs to their homes or places of business. Many of these buildings have metal fire escapes attached to their fronts and sides.

While the buildings look substantial, most of their interiors are made of wood and the threat of fire is still quite real in a city where gas lights are as common as electric bulbs.

Along the sidewalk to the right can be seen what appear to be a number of large stone blocks along the curb. These are steps to provide more easy access to one’s carriage. While automobiles are becoming a more common sight, many people still rely on horsedrawn carriages as well as the streetcar system to make their way around town.

The shops and stores along High Street provide the widest variety of goods and services to the people who live and work nearby.

Most of these merchants have placed large signs on their stores and projecting from them advertising their services. They range from Murnan’s taxi service and “sports parlor” on the left to the more elegant Goodman Jewelers on the right. In the distance on the right, at the corner of Town and High streets, can be seen the distinctive tower of the F. & R.

Lazarus department store.

There are other distinctive elements of this city of a century ago.

Watches were a luxury many people could not afford; the timepieces were worn only on special occasions. To help keep track of the time, large clocks like the one at the right of the picture stood at many major intersections. To meet the need for information, some of the city’s several newspapers were sold by newsboys (and occasionally newsgirls) like the ones we see to the left of the picture.

Most of the people we see in the picture seem reasonably welldressed in suits and ties for the men and fashionable dresses for the ladies. By the standards of our time, they are indeed well-dressed and — in mostly wool clothing — probably a bit uncomfortable.

But by the standards of their day, this was just the common attire of day-to-day life.

This was a world that had changed a lot during the lives of the people we see here. But for the most part, these people were accustomed to change and had learned to live with it. And perhaps that is just as well, since a lot more change was not all that far away.

Dispatching services main topic of Norwich meeting Continued from page A1 said the contract allows for 90 days notice to switch to another provider. However, before switching, the Mike Cope trustees want to do more research.

“It’s got to be safety first, no matter what,” Buck said. “The last thing we want to do is switch and jeopardize safety. That’s not what we’re about.”

The trustees’ letter to Schonhardt complains about the impact of Hilliard’s use of Tax Increment Financing on township finances.

“Property tax revenue is the primary source of revenue for the township’s general and fire funds,” the letter states. “The net result of Hilliard’s TIFs is that the demand for fire and emergency medical services rises without a comparable growth in revenue.

Over the years, the revenue shortfall due to TIFs and abatements has become quite substantial. According to the Franklin County Auditor’s Office, Norwich Township is losing approximately

$400,000 in property tax revenue annually.”

The letter goes on to state “that nearly everyone we have talked to in a position of leadership in Hilliard agrees that something should be done to return some of the TIF revenue to the township, but there has been no action to make it happen.”

Township officials said that 75 percent of calls for fire and EMS services are for Hilliard, and 25 percent for Norwich Township.

Buck said he wants the township to work with Hilliard, and he prefers keeping the dispatching in the Safety Services Building, “but it just seems that it’s a one-way street for the township, using our resources to balance their administration’s budget.

There’s got to be some sort of understanding that there needs to be cooperative efforts, not everything for the city and nothing for the township. We’ve given them an opportunity, but it continues to be disappointing that the cooperation is not a two-way street.”

Also at the special meeting, the trustees and township staff discussed hiring part-time firefighters to reduce overtime, among other topics.

Kindergarten preregistration set for Jan. 19

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Kindergarten preregistration for Hilliard City Schools is set for 7 p.m. Jan. 19.

If your child will be five on or before Sept.

30, he or she is eligible to start kindergarten during the 2011-12 school year.

The first step starts Jan. 19, when parents go to their “home” elementary school for the attendance area where they live to pick up an information packet and make an appointment to register their child. Call the administrative office at 614-771-4273 to find out which school is a student’s “home” elementary.

If a parent can’t make it to the school on that date, contact the school office to pick up the packet and set up a registration appointment.

In February, parents will bring required documentation to the central office annex so they can schedule a screening for their child in March or April.

“The most important thing for parents to know about that second step and the actual

registration is that they have to have all of the required documents in hand in making that appointment, because we aren’t able to complete that process with incomplete documentation,” said Jill Menchhofer, director of elementary education for the district.

The documents include: Proof of residency (a current monthly mortgage statement, current closing statement, or a lease agreement that lists the parent and guardian and the names of the students to be enrolled in the district); a birth certificate which is an original or a copy of the original; the immunization record; custody papers if applicable; the four-page student registration form and an a.m./p.m. preference form (the district has a waiver from all-day kindergarten).

“The timeliness of getting those forms in is pretty important, because you don’t want to miss that opportunity to have your child screened with their actual school,” Menchhofer said. “If you turn it in after the fact, then we give you the opportunity to screen with another school, but I always think it’s nice to build that relationship from the beginning.”

Parents and the child will attend the screening at the annex. School nurses and staff will check on the child’s hearing, vision, learning exercises and socialization skills.

“What’s important for parents to remember is that it just gives us some general information,” Menchhofer said. “The other thing that’s great about the screening is that it gives parents time to meet with the building principal and really ask questions.”

Menchhofer said the children won’t meet their kindergarten teacher at the screening, because that won’t be determined until August.

The screenings tend to be fun, with the children being either very excited or a little tentative, Menchhofer said.

“It’s a very important step for the kids in building that excitement as they head into the summer about what lies ahead in the fall,” Menchhofer said. “When they leave (the screening), it’s our hope that they see this as a very positive experience and are looking forward to starting school in the fall. “ For more information, please visit the website at www.hilliardschools.org.

Darby High School to host distracted-driving seminar

The Hilliard Against Distracted Driving (HADD) campaign is sponsoring a free community safety fair Jan. 13 in the Darby fieldhouse. HADD is an initiative presented by students from all three Hilliard high schools.

The event is open to students from 10:30 a.m.1 p.m. and to the community from 6-8 p.m. It includes distracted driving simulations; sobriety testing and DUI arrest demonstrations by the Hilliard Police; vehicle purchasing information; motorcycle safety demonstrations; car crash, emergency response, and funeral arrangement displays; and driver education information.

“Businesses, organizations and safety forces from across the community have come together to create this extraordinary event,” HADD coordinator Jennifer Sayre said in a statement. “We are so pleased with the information and hands-on demonstrations we will be offering that day. Our hope is to provide a memorable experience that will make a lasting impact on the participants’ future driving decisions.”

The dangers of distracted driving dominated a recent meeting of Norwich Township trustees.

“There have been a few issues (of distracted driving) here locally, not necessarily dealing with

death, but vehicle and property damage,” said township fire department captain Jeff Warren.

Those who attend the fair will get a chance to sign an “I am responsible” pledge card and receive a keychain, window sticker and car decal.

The pledge card reads, “I, (name), recognize that driving distracted is dangerous and can adversely affect my life and the lives of friends, family and loved ones. My signature on this pledge card represents my promise that I will drive without distraction and model safe behavior while behind the wheel for 120 days.”

“We live in a society that doesn’t really support a lifelong commitment,” Warren said. “We need to have a definable boundary of 120 days.” The pledge commitment end date is May 21.

Warren passed out pledge cards at the township meeting.

“It looks to be a great initiative and a pretty neat thing to be a part of,” Warren said, “though if we’re going to support this … we’re going to be under the microscope as well. For 120 days, we have to be very cognizant that we’re not driving distracted.”

“I think this is a great opportunity for all of us as leaders in the community to show our young people, who I think are the big target in this, that texting and calling can be dangerous,” said fire chief David Long. “We’ve got to set the example.”

Panthers, Wildcats set for another tussle

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Eight of the nine games between the Hilliard Darby and Hilliard Davidson high school boys basketball teams have been decided by 10 points or fewer.

The Panthers hold a 5-4 advantage in the series, but the teams have split their games each of the past two seasons. Last season’s contests were exceptionally close.

The Wildcats won 60-53 in overtime at Darby and the Panthers won

53-52 at Davidson.

After scouting Darby a couple times this season, Davidson coach Kevin Logsdon said he is expecting another close contest Friday when his team plays host to the Panthers in an OCCCentral Division game.

“It will be another barnburner for sure, because neither team has a big advantage in any one area and all of the kids know each other so well,” Logsdon said. “We have a similar philosophy and approach to the game, and this is a rivalry built on respect.”

Darby senior guard Matt Cyrus said,

“We always have good, close games with Davidson, because we’re crosstown rivals and this game means a lot to both teams. We’ve got to be prepared to win a close game.”

Both teams have played solid manto-man defense this season, with Darby giving up only 43.9 points per game and Davidson giving up 46.

Logsdon said it is crucial that his squad creates fast-break opportunities through its pressure defense.

“We have to generate some easy baskets in transition, because once they settle into their half-court de-

fense, we aren’t going to get a lot of good looks,” Logsdon said.

Leading Davidson in scoring are Davonte Peterson (9.6 points per game), Chris Logsdon (8.7), Brandon Gleim (7.0), Cole Lawson (6.9) and Andrew Gronski (5.9).

Five players have led the Wildcats in scoring in nine games including Peterson, who had 19 points in a 5043 victory at Olentangy Liberty last Saturday. Liberty entered the contest with an 8-1 record.

“We’re not looking for one guy to score 20 points a game to carry us,

because teams like Darby are capable of coming up with schemes to take that person away,” coach Logsdon said. “It’s important in this game that everyone chips in with a basket or rebound when they get the opportunity, because you have to make the most of your chances against good defensive teams.”

Darby senior guard Matt Allen said the Panthers’ top defensive priority is to stop Peterson from driving to the basket.

Davidson’s Alex Blackenstone is blinded by his headgear as he battles Worthington Kilbourne’s Mike Mayberry in a match at 189 pounds on Jan. 6. The Wildcats defeated Kilbourne 48-21 and also beat Thomas Worthington 69-62 in an OCC-Central Division double dual.

Wrestling

’Cats seek better preparation

By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard Davidson High School wrestling team started 2-0 in the OCCCentral Division race, but coach Dominic DiSabato wasn’t satisfied.

Davidson opened the league dual season with a 48-21 win over Worthington Kilbourne and a 69-12 win over Thomas Worthington on Jan. 6.

The scores would indicate a strong performance by the Wildcats, but this is a team that has lofty aspirations. DiSabato’s assessment was that the team still needs work.

“We just have to understand that every match, whether you’re supposed to win or you’re supposed to lose, you have to wrestle every match the same every time,” DiSabato said. “You have to be ready to wrestle and I just didn’t see that out of everybody. Preparation is what we have to start focusing on.”

The Wildcats were looking for a strong showing in the first OCC-Central dual as they prepared for last Sunday’s Division I state duals at Wadsworth, which included the top two teams from

they don’t get you.”

Davidson trailed several times in its match against Kilbourne. The Wildcats won the last four matches to secure the win.

“We did some good things (in the opening dual matches), but right now we’re just trying to get our groove,” DiSabato said. “We’re not quite there yet.”

Davidson ended up going 1-2 at the state duals, placing sixth behind champion Lakewood St. Edward (3-0). The Wildcats lost to Cincinnati Elder 37-25 before defeating Mayfield 36-28 to advance to the fifth-place match, where they lost to Cincinnati Moeller 52-6.

Davidson faces Dublin Coffman and Upper Arlington at home today in an OCC-Central dual. Coffman was the

Bradley girls vow to push ahead after tough OCC loss

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Although the Hilliard Bradley High School girls basketball team was dealt a blow in its quest for a league championship, it quickly moved on.

The Jaguars fell to 5-2 in the OCC-Capital Division with a 66-58 loss to host Olentangy Orange last Friday.

“Winning the league is one of our goals, so the girls are a little disappointed,” said coach Kathy Lindsey, whose team was 8-2 overall before playing Jonathan Alder last Wednesday. “We’ve got two

league losses now, so we’ll need to win out and get a little help with Orange. But there’s a lot of basketball left to play, so as long as we strive to reach another goal — getting better every week — we’ll be fine.”

Orange, which improved to 111 overall, leads the league at 7-0.

Bradley, Big Walnut and New Albany are tied for second at 5-2, followed by Delaware at 3-4, Mount Vernon at 2-5, Watkins Memorial at 1-6 and Franklin Heights at 0-7.

The Jaguars, who play host to Watkins Memorial on Friday and travel to Westerville South on Sat-

urday, have a showdown at New Albany on Jan. 20. They will play host to Big Walnut on Jan. 27 and close the regular season Feb. 11 at home against Orange.

Bradley, which beat Watkins Memorial 87-38 on Dec. 3 after leading 49-16 at halftime, suffered its other league loss against New Albany, 48-47 on Dec. 7.

“Everything will have to fall just right for us to win the OCC,” said senior forward Kellie Roudabush, who made four 3-pointers and

The first domino to fall in the central Ohio high school football coaching scene this offseason occurred over the holiday break when Brookhaven High School hired former Bearcats and Marion-Franklin assistant Trevor White to take over its program.

Then on Jan. 6, Reynoldsburg athletics coordinator Jack Purtell announced that his school would be recommending current Hartley assistant Buddy White as its new coach at its next school board meeting.

Several other area coaching vacancies should be filled over the next month.

Late last month, a school official told ThisWeek for a story appearing on ThisWeekSPORTS.com that the Johnstown-Monroe Local School District wasn’t planning to renew the contract of nine-year coach Mike Carter at a future board meeting. The board met last Monday but did not address Carter’s contract.

Openings at Columbus East, Hilliard Bradley and Westland also have started to come into focus.

At Reynoldsburg, where its job had been vacant since shortly after the season, the school had about 30 applicants, including some former and present head coaches.

Buddy White is expected to succeed Steve Evans, who went 7-23 in three seasons with the Raiders after taking over a team that went 3-7 in 2007. Evans successfully turned around programs at Hamilton Township and Teays Valley but couldn’t repeat the task at Reynoldsburg, where athletes have had to pay as much as $500 in pay-to-participate fees per sport.

As a result of the high pay-toparticipate fees, the Raiders have had several football players transfer to schools such as Pickerington Central and Pickerington North in recent years.

Reynoldsburg won three of its first five games last season, including a 17-14 win over Newark on Sept 24, but lost its final five to finish with a 3-7 record.

The Raiders’ last winning season came in 2005 when they went 6-4. Their only playoff berth came in 2001 under former coach Tony Pusateri.

Buddy White coached varsity wide receivers, was the head freshman coach and assisted with the junior varsity last season when Hartley won the Division IV state championship.

He previously assisted at West Virginia State College (198082), Salem College (1982-86), Watkins Memorial (1990-95, 1997-2001), Marion-Franklin (2001-04) and Reynoldsburg (2005-09).

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Darby and Davidson girls basketball teams: DARBY *Jan. 3 — Lost to Thomas Worthington 59-32. Bri Rispress scored 10 points. *Last Friday — Defeated Westland 54-40 *Today — Home vs. Hilliard Davidson Tuesday — At Reynoldsburg *Jan. 21 — Home vs. Worthington Kilbourne Of note: The Panthers are 1-10 overall and 1-6 in the OCC-Central. *OCC-Central game

It’s difficult enough to be a firstyear coach preparing for the season-opening game, but it can be even more complicated when that opener is against your rival.

That’s the spot Joy Taylor was in before the Hilliard Davidson High School girls basketball team opened Dec. 3 at home against Darby. “It’s a big rivalry game and I found that out quickly,� said Taylor, whose team beat Darby 5837. “I had a lot of people coming up to me saying, ‘You’re opening with Darby. That’s a big one.’ “It was nerve-racking enough being the first game of the year with a new team and trying to figure out what works for each girl and what works best for the team. “It was tough preparing for the first game, but the girls are pretty excited for (the rematch today at Darby).�

The Wildcats were 5-4 overall before playing New Albany last Tuesday. Darby is 1-10 overall after defeating Westland 54-40 last Friday. “It’s definitely a confidencebooster,� Darby coach Liz Lehman said of the Westland win. “No one likes to look and a see an ‘oh’ at the beginning of their record. Sometimes it only takes one game to turn around a season. Maybe this can be that game.�

In the first Davidson-Darby matchup, Madie Long led the Wildcats with 15 points and two 3-pointers. Lauren Bates scored nine points, Sam Bradway and

Emily Krumpe had 10 points to lead the Panthers. Bri Rispress had nine points, Audrie Wolfe scored eight points and Nettie Benjamin added four points. “It’s good that we get to play at home because playing at Davidson can sometimes be intimidating for a young team like ours,�

Lehman said. “Seeing teams for a second time is usually better for young teams because you know what to expect.�

Taylor said she knows her team is much better than in the first meeting. “We are starting to play together and the kids are responding better to how each other plays,� she said. “I think we have a better handle on how the kids can succeed as individuals and as a team.

I know (the Panthers) will give us a better game because everyone is playing better at this course of the year.�

Against Westland, Annie Hilditch led Darby with 13 points and three 3-pointers. Alex Hoferkamp, Rispress and Wolfe all scored eight points and Krumpe added six points as the Panthers

We’re going to study their tendencies, and it’s my job to get back and defend the basket when they try and score in transition.�

Allen said the Panthers will need to do a better job of executing their half-court offense than they have for most of the season.

The Panthers struggled with turnovers and rushed shots during a stretch in which they lost five of six games from Dec. 10 through Jan. 3.

According to Bradley athletics director Chip Ebert, his program received about 60 rĂŠsumĂŠs since the position was vacated in mid-November.

After guiding St. Charles to a 20-20 mark in four seasons, Ted Wierzbicki coached Bradley to 2-8 and 3-7 records, respectively, during its first two seasons. The Jaguars beat Franklin Heights 42-18 on Sept. 24 for their only OCC-Capital win in their first two seasons. “We’re hoping to do interviews in January, and hopefully we’ll give a recommendation to the (school) board in February,� Ebert said. “It might seem a little weird coming from an athletic director, but whoever we hire has got to be a good teacher, and of course we want the best coach out there. We want someone who’s going to motivate our kids and attract more players out for the team. I don’t really care what kind of offense or defense they like to run, but we just want them

Lehman said. “We have really been having some good practices and the players come to practice ready to work. We aren’t really dealing with the little things like we were at beginning of year.�

The Wildcats had lost three of their last four games before last Tuesday. They lost to Gahanna 49-45 on Dec. 29 in the Gahanna Cage Classic before losing league games to Dublin Coffman 56-39 on Jan. 3 and to Upper Arlington 63-49 last Friday. Entering play this week, Gahanna was 9-2, Upper Arlington was 7-2 and Coffman was 9-3. “I think we have learned that we need to be a tougher team both physically and mentally,� said Taylor, whose team also defeated Mifflin 50-27 in the four-game stretch. “We can’t throw in the towel when we get down.� shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

to be someone that people will follow.�

Westland athletics director Greg Burke received about 10 rÊsumÊs for his school’s vacancy. Brian Smith resigned Nov. 1, three days after the Cougars’ season-ending 33-12 loss to Central Crossing.

In three seasons under Smith, Westland went just 2-28 overall and 0-19 in OCC play. The Cougars’ only wins during that time came in 2008 over Cleveland John Marshall (30-20) and last season over Toledo Scott (28-0).

After not fielding a team in 2009 because of the SouthWestern City Schools levy failure, Westland went 1-9 overall and 0-7 in the OCC-Central last season.

Smith, a 32-year-old former DeSales assistant, took over a Cougars program that had gone 7-4 and made its only postseason appearance in 2006 under former coach Jeff Jones. Quarterback Kasey Wendal, a 2007 graduate, was named the ThisWeek Super 25 captain that season. “I’ve interviewed a couple of internal candidates and now we’re looking at outside rĂŠsumĂŠs,â€?

“Once we started moving better, like we did in the first half, we cut our deficit to six points in the fourth quarter and we had three possessions to get closer, but didn’t,” Lindsey said. “I think in a way, we can use this as a confidence booster.

Columbus East is starting interviews of its nine applicants and could have a new coach by the end of January, according to athletics director Corinne Moore.

Mike White resigned at season’s end after coaching the Tigers to a 35-95 record in 13 seasons. East’s only winning season during White’s tenure came in 1999 when it went 83 and made the Division II playoffs.

The Tigers posted 5-5 finishes in both 2006 and ’08 but went 4-6 in 2009 and just 1-9 last season. East’s only win last fall came in White’s final game when the Tigers beat LindenMcKinley 18-14 on Oct. 29.

rough third quarter and that cost us. But we need to put it behind us and play better the rest of the way.”

Orange used a 20-8 third quarter to take a 48-35 entering the fourth quarter.

“We’ve got to go back out there and win these next three games, not just to get us confident going into the New Albany game, but also for the (Division II district) tournament draw,” said senior guard Bailey Pierron, who had 11 points against Orange. “We dug ourselves a hole in the third quarter and (Orange) took advantage of it. They hit some big 3pointers.”

“There was a four- or fiveminute stretch in the third quarter where our transition defense was poor,” Lindsey said. “They create problems because they run the floor well. They’ve got a 6-foot-3 post, Ashley BassettSmith, and a 6-foot-1 post, Kelsey Lewis, and they can get up and down the floor like guards.”

Bassett-Smith led the Pioneers with 17 points and Lewis added 13. Because of its severe disadvantage in height, Bradley tried to cheat guards into the post on help defense, but Orange also has good perimeter shooters. Maddy Joseph made four 3-pointers and scored 16 points and Keristynn Myers

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Bradley boys and girls basketball teams: BOYS *Jan. 5 — Lost to Delaware 72-59.

The game was tied at 52 entering the fourth quarter. Evan Bell scored 21 points, Trent Weaver scored 20 and Derek Tieman scored 12. Bell had three 3-pointers and Tieman had two. *Last Friday — Lost to Olentangy Orange 63-58. The Jaguars were outscored 23-15 in the first quarter.

The visiting Pioneers outscored the Jaguars 17-7 at the free throw line and 24-15 from beyond the 3-point line. Josh Wintermantel made six 3pointers and totaled 24 points for Orange. For Bradley, A.J. Dixon made five 3-pointers for all of his 15 points.

1 One day, a presently-young

film composer/pianist will perform a concert paying tribute to Dave Grusin, the Academy Award-winning film composer who, this weekend, pays tribute to film composer Henry Mancini in concerts with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra.

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

Point being, Grusin’s career is heavily influenced by the great Mancini, so it would be appropriate to carry on the tradition.

The CJO program is “A Night at the Movies,” and features Mancini tunes like The Pink Panther Theme and Baby Elephant Walk alongside other classic film repertoire, including Somewhere Over the Rainbow and As Time Goes By.

A jazz pianist (and record label exec — he’s the “G” in contemporary jazz giant GRP Records) as well as composer, Grusin’s film scores include Heaven Can Wait, On Golden Pond and Tootsie.

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 at the 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 know quite what to expect, director Tony Lauria (not that Tony) was kind enough to answer some questions for The Beat.

The Beat: What should I wear?

Tony Lauria: Dress comfortably, casual. If you have a wild side, Tony N’ Tina’s Wedding plays the Cardinal Health Ball- wear something fun but not something that pulls focus. room at the Lincoln Theatre Jan. 20-30 for 10 shows.

TB: Should I bring a gift?

Tickets are $65/$75. Call (614) 469-0939.

TL: Many people bring gag gifts. Folks have brought anything

and groom!

TB: What’s happening when we “enter the scene”? When it’s time 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. You will feel like you are attending the most outrageous wedding you have 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 happened 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 not allowed to touch the Nun or the Stripper! Unless of course you are invited to!

Scampering waiters and above-average food at new Poblano’s MENU Except for the hardest-working and quickest-moving wait staff in town — servers literally, stunningly and unfailingly jog across its wide-open and winding-around spaces — Poblano’s is nothing you haven’t seen before.

That said, this bright and tidy newish Mexican restaurant’s food was consistently a cut above the norm.

Occupying a rambling, double-decker edifice spread out over several rooms, Poblano’s is a big and splashy establishment. Kind of fun in a kitschy and touristy way, its brash color scheme alternates from one tropically tinted wall to the next.

So as your head whirls as you try to follow that kinetic wait staff moving to the beat of relentlessly uptempo cumbia music, your eyes will rush past tones like tan-

by G.A. Benton gerine orange, avocado green, mango yellow and chili pepper red.

After the arrival of fresh and above-average chips and salsa, you’re probably going to want some of the slightly orange-flavored house margaritas. I recommend the worth-it upcharge for a lasts-forever (and potent!) half pitcher of “Poblano’s” Margaritas ($17) made with Hornitos tequila and Cointreau.

Appetizer-wise, though the homey, oregano-flecked and salty chicken and tortilla soups were both pleasant enough (each $2.50), my favorite starter was the extra-large and super-valued

The El Amigo entrée and Tres Leches cake at Poblano’s.

Whitefish Ceviche ($6.50). I liked how its abundant, creamy and unblemished avocado chunks calmed down the assertive yet enticing fresh lime juice mixture

(with diced tomato and onion) in which the plentiful chopped raw fish was “cooked.”

From the “House Specialties” entrees, El Amigo ($15) will definitely live up to its name and be your friend — if, like me, you’re a big eater. A virtual Mexican smorgasbord on a single plate, it was spilling over with nicely seared shrimp plus rice and beans (they grace most every meal and yes, they’re better than most), crisply grilled slices of thin beef (carne aside) and a boneless, skinless chicken breast. Both terrestrial proteins tasted great beneath their layers of rich melted Mexican cheese and zesty, greasy chorizo (but what wouldn’t?)

Real Mexican chiles rellenos have an eggier batter than you generally get in America. Since I got something approximating that at Poblano’s, I’d rate theirs

($10.50) on the higher side. I mixed and matched a chicken (stewy) with a beef (hamburger vastly improved by being cooked with onion, carrot and potato) to fine effect.

Though I doubt it was completely made from scratch, the mole sauce on my Enchiladas Poblanos ($9.50) was thicker, less sweet, richer and more complex (tasting of roasted chilies with a hint of cinnamon) than average.

It was slathered over a trio of tortillas wrapped around chicken stewed with rajas (roasted poblano pepper strips). Nice.

Also quite nice was a massive platter of Chile Verde ($11). That one featured huge chunks of tender, stewy pork shoulder enlivened by a piquant tomatillo salsa.

I’m a sucker for Pastel de Tres Leches, and Poblano’s version ($4.50) did not disappoint. Soaked in sweetened condensed milk, slightly perfumey and elaborately decorated with caramel icing piped into rococo decorations, it was a piece of cake that tasted as good as it looked.

Powell pizzeria serves up classic New York-style pies After Brooklyn Pizza opened on New Year’s Day, the New Yorkers started filing in.

One guy was from Brooklyn, another from Staten Island. Long Island was represented, as was Albany.

Owner Anthony La Cerva didn’t know there were so many Empire State transplants living in central Ohio.

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

But it seems he has a hot, cheesedripping commodity – a New York-style pizza, complete with a crispy, foldable crust, 100-percent mozzarella and a house-mixed sauce.

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

La Cerva’s goal was to create a true pizzeria, similar to the ones his father owned in the New York metropolitan area.

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

Thin-crust pizzas, cut into triangles no less, appeared to be an anomaly in central Ohio. Rarer still were by-theslice options.

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

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

of the restaurant-laden intersection at Liberty and Olentangy streets. La Cerva said he’s somewhat concerned about the lack of foot traffic in his strip center but is confident his product is singular enough to draw people from all over the region.

“I want to be the exclusive,” he said.

“Everybody’s going to have to come over here.”

Pies come in 14 and 16 inches, plus a 16-by-16 Sicilian alternative. Toppings include the traditional to more designer choices, such as roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes. A 16-inch

oats is being served at Starling’s new breakfast-and-lunch spot, Jodi’s Home Cooking, which recently took over the 29-seat Grace Diner space at 240 N. Liberty St. She admits that most customers haven’t even heard of it.

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

It has myriad uses – for example, complementing omelets – or is enjoyable as a side, she said. Starling’s customers can get a GLT – a goetta, lettuce and tomato sandwich.

She also has a parade of homemade dishes, including buttermilk biscuits and gravy, soups, chili, pancakes and such. Her potatoes are fresh-cut and her burgers are hand-patted.

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

“I love to cook. I like to cook anything,” she said. “I’m not much of a baker. I love to cook comfort food that fills people up.”

Jodi’s Home Cooking is open for breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Sunday, closed Monday. For more information, call 614-785-0474.
