Powell council vows TIF will remain

By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Despite complaints from county agencies, Powell’s newest tax-increment financing district is here to stay.

On Feb. 1, all present council members — Tom Counts, Don Grubbs, Brian Lorenz, Jim Hrivnak, Art Schultz and Richard Cline — said they would not change their vote on the commercial

TIF. Sarah Marie Brenner who has said she wanted to reconsider her vote on the TIF and learn more about the effect on area agencies, was absent from the meeting.

The new TIF puts all commercial properties within the city — not already within the downtown TIF district — into the commercial TIF. In TIF districts, certain tax income is defrayed and used for infrastructure costs. Some county agen-

cies complained, saying the TIF puts a strain on their tax income.

“I see no reason to revisit the vote,” said Grubbs who was absent when council heard the complaints Jan. 18.

“I wanted to review those comments from the last meeting, because my first impression on hearing that there was even going to be a discussion was that it is deja vu all over again,” Grubbs said.

“We went through this process in a

painful way. Powell has apparently become the poster child for TIF’s in Delaware County; seems as though we garner more press on our TIF’s than anybody else in the county, despite the fact we have now just two, and the rest of the county has 21” Grubbs also said that Powell residents spoke in support of TIF’s in 2005.

than what I’ve heard in the last five years and what I heard when we did this before. Most importantly, the people of Powell spoke and we had an election and the people of Powell upheld our downtown TIF that we did, which to me is a stronger indication that ... finding ways to keep local taxes local is something that our residents support.”

New rec program explores science

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Liberty Township trustees on Feb. 7 appropriated $402,194 for park improvements, as part of the process of applying for two grants from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

The grants from the Clean Ohio Trails Fund and Recreational Trails Program would provide funds to build trails and a restroom facility in the South Liberty Park area, behind the YMCA, 7798 Liberty Road North.

The township recently applied for the reimbursable grants that would refund the township for the costs of park improvements detailed in the grant application, said township administrator Dave Anderson. If awarded, the grant would reimburse the township for about 50 to 60 percent of the improvement costs, Anderson said.

Trustee Mary Carducci was hesitant to approve the appropriation.

“I’m skittish because of the estate tax going away, which I’m glad it is,” Carducci said. “But with (it) going away, potties aren’t a priority right now. I think we really need to get our priorities around our budget.”

Trustee Robert Mann said trustees could approve the appropriations and have the liberty to decline the grant if they aren’t awarded a reimbursement percentage they are comfortable with.

The $402,194 would come from two of the township’s funds. One of the funds has a balance of about $350,000, Anderson said; of that $332,194 would be appropriated for the improvements connected to the grant.

The other fund, the park capital improvement fund, receives revenue from the township’s general fund and from parks fees. It currently contains See LIBERTY, page A2

Plan would give schools extra calamity days

By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ohio public school districts may get a reprieve on snow days from the Ohio General Assembly.

The Ohio Legislature is considering a bill to allow schools five canceled, or calamity, days, said state Rep. Casey Kozlowski, of the 99th district. He represents the 99th House District.

For the 2010-11 school year, schools are allowed to have three canceled school days. Any school days canceled after that number

must be made up.

As of Feb. 4, Olentangy Local Schools has canceled school three times, said spokesperson Karen Truett.

The district has scheduled make up days for June 8, 9, 10, 13 and 14, should it need to use them.

House Bill 36, if approved, would increase the number of calamity days from three to five.

It also has an emergency clause that would make it effective immediately, said Kozlowski, whose constituents are in northeast Ohio.

General’s legacy kept alive in Delaware County

By PAUL COMSTOCK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tom Paul and his wife, Linda, will portray Union Gen. William Rosecrans and his wife, Anne, at the 150th Civil War Gala Jubilee to be held Feb. 12 in the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus. Rosecrans was born in Delaware County.

Any mention of great Civil War generals is bound to include the names Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee and William Tecumseh Sherman.

Tom Paul of Harlem Township is working hard to see that William Starke Rosecrans is added to that list.

Rosecrans was born in Kingston Township on what is now Rosecrans Road. At the height of his influence in the Union Army, he commanded the Army of the Cumberland, tasked with keeping the Confederates out of Tennessee.

He earlier helped organize federal troops in Ohio and spearheaded the ef-

As part of the winter-spring session, Powell Parks and Recreation department is offering new programs that explore science through experimentation.

The programs help develop children’s investigative skills through fun and messy experiments, said Powell spokesperson Jeff Robinson.

The programs “Mini Mad Scientists” and “Mad Scientists” are for children ages 3 to 6 and 6 to 12, respectively.

The programs were developed by recreation coordinator and instructor Denise Clark.

“This class developed out of my own love of science,” Clark said. “As a kid, I loved doing different experiments with slime and other fun activities.”

The classes include a variety of experiments, including demonstrations that Clark performs in front of the class for students, as well as experiments each child performs with materials he or she receives. In both cases, the child develops “science detective” skills to predict and observe outcomes.

“Each student is given a science notebook to write down or draw predictions and observations. Last week in the older group we learned about solids, liquids and gases,” Clark said of the “Mad Scientists” session. “We even made our own CO2filled balloon using baking soda and vinegar. In the younger class, we investigated slimes or polymers. We squished, played, and experimented with a variety of household slimes. We also made our own slime which each child took home.”

Clark said each class has a particular theme such as electricity, slimes, solids, gases and liquids and she designs the activity to make sure it is both fun and age appropriate.

fort that drove rebel troops out of what would become West Virginia.

This year is the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. It will be commemorated by a 150th Civil War Gala Jubilee Feb. 12 in the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.

During the event, actors and re-enactors will portray personalities from the Civil War. Rosecrans and his wife, Anne, will be portrayed by Paul and his wife, Linda.

The event will raise money to construct an equestrian statue of Rosecrans on the Sunbury village square.

Paul is part of what he called “a living history group,” the General RoseSee GENERAL’S, page A4

Powell council vows TIF will remain Fire Department, Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities, Preservation Parks of Delaware County, Delaware-Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, and the Delaware General Health District.

Powell’s downtown TIF brings in about $225,000 a year.

Money from the TIF has to be spent

on capital improvements that benefit the TIF district. The downtown TIF fund has a balance of $309,647.

Since 2006 the downtown TIF has brought in $710,408. To date $400,761 has been spent, documents from the city show. Expenses include contracted engineering and surveying, a study evaluating the property values in the district,

a four-corners traffic study, a streetscape rendering, land or right-of-way acquisition, country auditor and treasurer fees and to repay the city’s general fund which advanced the TIF $201,640 at its inception.

The downtown TIF was approved in 2005 and began collecting in 2006. The then-city council’s decision to TIF 300

acres for 30 years brought on the same level of concern from county agencies as has Powell’s recent approval of a commercial TIF. In 2005, Powell residents took the downtown TIF to the voters on referendum. That November voters upheld the downtown TIF by 1,306 to 1,161 votes.

cause of the extreme winter Ohio is having.

During Gov. Ted Strickland’s administration, the number of allotted calamity days was gradually decreased, with 2010-11 receiving three.

“One thing to remember is the safety of our children. This bill will allow districts the discretion to use five calamity days. I feel that there could be pressure put on superintendents when making those decisions – extending the school year and making up days on holidays.

for districts and bringing that number back up to five would be suitable,” Kozlowski said.

The bill would allow a district to make up a calamity day by increasing the school day by half-hour increments. It exists in law already, but it can only be used if a district has had nine or more calamity days, Kozlowski said. The bill would allow the method to be used to make up the sixth canceled day.

“Each district is unique and it would give them the local authority to make that decision. The Columbus-knows-best phi-

losophy isn’t what’s always right for these school districts. It gives them that local authority to decide how they would make up a calamity day – whether they want to extend some school, use a holiday or extend the school year. My goal with this bill is for the school districts to have local control and authority,” Kozlowski said.

Kozlowski said the bill had 22 co-sponsors as of Feb. 2, and he is hearing a lot of support for it.

The bill is being discussed in committee and is likely to go before the House in February.

a must, but other activities will be varied, so even repeat students will always get a new experience,” Clark said.

partment holds sessions in winter-spring, summer and fall. For more information on the department, click the “Parks & Rec” link at www.cityofpowell.us.

General’s legacy kept alive in county Continued from page A1 crans Department of the Ohio Headquarters Unit, which is part of the Big Walnut Area Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The unit is involved in demonstrations and mock battles, but its larger purpose is education and teaching about the Civil War era, Paul said.

He said his interest in the Civil War stems from his childhood, when one of the items in his household was a Civil War sword.

Paul later learned he is related to Union Gen. Gabriel Paul, who was shot in the head at Gettysburg, but survived and lived another 20 years. Another relative was Union Col. James Paul, who served under Rosecrans and probably was the sword’s original owner.

Paul said the reputation accorded to Grant should have gone to Rosecrans.

Rosecrans “was a terrific general, one of our best, and was near-

ly president of the United States twice,” Paul said. “He formed Ohio’s army and led it into war. ... He set two training camps, Camp Chase in Columbus and Camp Dennison in Cincinnati.

“He did the impossible. He formed an army and marched into West Virginia and saved Ohio from attack. ... He freed West Virginia so it could secede from Virginia.”

Rosecrans is the only leading Union general who has no statue.

Paul attributes this to a legacy that is skewed against Rosecrans, mainly because of what Paul calls the wartime opposition of a political enemy, secretary of war Edwin Stanton. Grant also held a grudge against Rosecrans, Paul said.

Rosecrans led the Yankees at the battle of Chickamauga in northwest Georgia in September 1863.

Union forces accidentally left a large section of the battlefield open, and thousands of Confederates broke through, sending part of Rosecrans’ army in retreat to the west, toward Chattanooga. Union

Gen. George Thomas and other troops stayed on the Chickamauga battlefield to hold off the rebels, while Rosecrans went to Chattanooga to organize defenses there.

Thomas became a hero, nicknamed “the rock of Chickamauga,” and Rosecrans — as characterized by most historical accounts — had a public relations disaster on his hands.

Stanton said, “Rosecrans ran away from his fighting men.” Grant ordered Thomas to take over the Army of the Cumberland and Rosecrans was sent to Missouri.

Paul downplays the strategic significance of Chickamauga, calling it “an accidental battle at a creek.” Most history books, he said, overlook the fact that Rosecrans followed the orders he received by keeping the rebels out of Chattanooga, which was a priority for the Union.

Paul said Zanesville sculptor Alan Cottrill, who has built statues around the world, has agreed to sculpt the Rosecrans statue for

half his normal fee. The statue will sit on a donated block of granite.

The total project cost is estimated at $80,000.

The Civil War dinner and program will begin at 6 p.m. Tickets are $100 a plate for the evening, with $70 being a tax-free donation for the Rosecrans statue. A silent auction will also be held during the evening. All proceeds from it are a donation to the statue fund.

Guests may use the Third Street or Broad Street entrance to the parking garage under the Statehouse.

Tickets are available at http:// iTickets.com or by calling 1-800965-9324.

The mysteries of competitive cheerleading: Gimme a ‘why?’!

I’m about to ask an awkward question, the kind of question that may get other people’s backs up, and maybe even inspire them to e-mail me the kind of messages that will depress me for the rest of the day. Still, I’m going to ask the question anyway, because I’m a journalist, sort of, and as such I’m supposed to ask the awkward questions. (I get extra points if I insert the phrase “as such” while I’m asking them.)

Here’s the question. Well, before I ask it I should say that I saw a photo of a cheerleading squad in a newspaper the other day. The squad was competing in a cheerleading competition, so of course the girls were wearing their extremely cute uniforms with the name of the team on the front. I couldn’t tell by the picture, but I’m guessing they all had their hair fixed in intricate braids and whatnot too. I’ve been in the convention center during cheerleading events, so I’ve seen such teams in person. They all seem to have French braids, fancy hair accessories, and mothers who trail behind, carrying makeup cases and jackets and pulling suitcases on wheels.

Now for my question: Can someone tell me who or what all these cheering squads are cheering for?

I don’t deny they’re fun to watch. I like watching them even when they’re hitting the food court in their warm-up suits and curly ribbons. But it seems to me that cheering squads are like prepositions: they demand an object.

Cheering without a crowd in front of you and a team behind is like taking the dog’s leash for a walk.

What’s the point?

Here I must insert a comment that would begin “In my day” if I weren’t trying very hard to avoid using that phrase. But I can’t help remembering my own high school football and basketball games, during which the cheerleaders would watch the action and introduce cheers at the appropriate times: “Two points! Two points!” when a forward was driving to the basket; “Take, take, take it away!” when the other team’s forward was driving to his basket.

It always was his basket, too, because my day preceded Title IX

by about 15 seconds. When sports are offered only to boys, girls swarm all over what’s left, and what was left in MARGO my high school BARTLETT was cheerleading.

Two squads were chosen each year, one for football and one for basketball. Assuming roughly six girls to a squad – because precise accuracy would mean tracking down my yearbook, and you know what that means: goodbye to the rest of the afternoon – a total of 12 girls got to jump around on a playing field. That’s 12 out of a school whose classes had more than 725 students each. As for the rest of us, well, we were the cheer followers – the ones who leaned to the left, leaned to the right, stood up, sat down and shouted “Fight! Fight!

Fight!” It didn’t feel like much at the time, but now, from the perspective of years, I see that we too were playing important parts in the grand scheme of things. We were lending context; we were giving the cheerleaders a raison d’etre.

Without us, why would they run onto the football field during timeouts to shout out commands such as “Give me a T!”? As the spectators, we were holding up one end of the cheerleaders’platform, while

the players held up the other.

Now consider today’s many cheerleading squads. The names on the fronts of their cute little uniforms aren’t the names of teams or players. They’re just cute names that somebody picked out: the Twinkles. The Sparkles. The Peppy Girls. The Peppier Girls.

And their cheers, when they shout them, don’t go out to athletes on a field where the score is tied near the end of the final period. They don’t unify a stadium full of frantic fans who just don’t know how they can live through the suspense of the next few minutes.

No, they’re just shouting in a convention hall filled with other teams just like them. This would be okay if they were going home at the end of the day to their athletes and their fans, but they aren’t.

What they’re doing here – urging phantom crowds to cheer for phantom teams – is all there is.

“Everybody can use a little cheer in this world,” I hear someone, probably a cheerleader’s mother, saying. I can’t deny that cheer always comes in handy. Is this the way to get it, though – via little girls in kicky uniforms, shouting aimlessly?

Personally, I get a lift when I see boys playing volleyball.

Students develop campaign against texting behind wheel

By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Texting on a cell phone while driving might be tempting, but it’s dangerous and should be avoided, say four Olentangy High School seniors who have developed a public relations campaign aimed at stopping the hazardous habit.

OHS students Joe DiFrancesco, Candace Dove, Hannah Olenick and Kenny McCambridge have taken on the issue as their DECA public relations project.

Throughout the week of Feb. 7, the DECA team posted anti-texting educational literature throughout the high school and held activities designed to show the effect texting has on driving ability.

They also will post signs in area businesses.

“Last year, we weren’t sure what project to do, but someone suggested a project to discourage texting while driving, and we thought

it was a good idea. Especially because we knew students in the school texted while driving,” said Olenick.

The students conducted an anonymous survey of the school’s 520 student drivers and all the teachers and found a high percentage of both groups text while driving.

“After surveying Olentangy High School, we alarmingly found over 75 percent of both students and teachers admitting to texting while driving. This data solidified our decision to raise awareness on the issue throughout our community,” said Dove.

McCambridge minced no words, saying, “the huge number of those who text and drive is just unbelievable. It is not safe, and it is not smart.”

DiFrancesco, who joined the team after the project was decided, did so because of how much he believed in the team’s goals.

“I have personally avoided texting and driving ever since I got my license, my parents have always been threatening about the subject, and I hope all other parents are doing the same,” DiFrancesco said.

Activities in which high school students will participate are taking a pledge to not text and drive by putting their thumb print on a giant sign; playing a Wii Mario Kart with a steering wheel while trying to text; driving an electric cart while trying to text; and watching a video of interviews and test drives during video announcements during school, said DiFrancesco.

The best outcome of their campaign would be for people to stop texting while driving, the students said.

DECA, Distributive Education Clubs of America, is an international association of students and teachers.

Olentangy captures OCC-Cardinal title

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Olentangy High School wrestling coach Matt Hammons thought his team could beat Olentangy Liberty in an OCC-Cardinal Division dual on Feb. 3 at home, if the Braves could win the majority of the matches at the 135, 140, 152, 160, 215 and heavyweight weight classes.

As it turned out, Olentangy won all six of those matches en route to defeating Liberty 42-23 and improving

to 6-0 in the OCC-Cardinal. The Braves clinched a share of their first league title since 2008.

Olentangy won the OCC-Cardinal title outright with a 60-12 win over Dublin Scioto on Feb. 7.

“Winning the OCC is really important to us, because we haven’t done it since we split with Orange two seasons ago and lost some of our depth,” Hammons said. “We feel like momentum has been on our side with the way we’ve wrestled all season, and we were able to keep it going by beat-

ing the best Division I team in our area.”

In the most anticipated matches of the dual against Liberty, Anthony Fosco edged Anthony Michael 7-6 at 135, Eric Bridges pinned Mitch Himmelstein in 2 minutes, 50 seconds at 140, Caleb Hetterscheidt beat Craig Thomas 6-3 at 152, Joey Gadd defeated Nick Kaczkowski 4-3 in four overtimes at 160, Alex Steinmetz pinned Matt Casey in 1:00 at 215 and Brian Young beat Luke Fleming 7-6 at heavyweight.

Entering the match, Liberty was ranked No. 1 in the Division I area coaches poll and Olentangy was ranked first in the Division II area coaches poll.

“I was thinking that if we could win the majority of those swing matches that we’d win by one or two points, but we were able to win all of the close matches against quality opponents to run away with it,” Hammons said.

“They’re a good team and both teams fought hard, but every kid on our team went out there and did their job to help

us win, whether it was winning matches or keeping a match close. ... We wanted to prove that we’re the No. 1 team in central Ohio in any division, and we’ve seen all of the best Division I, II and III teams in our area this year, and we’ve either beat them in duals or out-placed them in tournaments.”

The Braves will compete in a Division II sectional on Feb. 19 at Hilliard Bradley. The top four placers in each weight class from each DiSee WRESTLING, page B4

Orange earns at least share of league title

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With its 61-25 victory over Watkins Memorial on Feb. 4, the Olentangy Orange High School girls basketball team secured at least a share of the OCC-Capital Division title.

The Pioneers, who improved to 12-0 in the OCC-Capital, entered the week needing one victory or a loss by 10-2 Hilliard Bradley to win the league outright. Orange played Franklin Heights on Feb. 8 and plays at

Bradley on Friday, Feb. 11.

“We’re such a young team and for us to be able to get our name out there and accomplish something great is a wonderful feeling,” junior Ashley BassettSmith said. “We are the first team from our school to get a (league championship) banner in the gym. We’re really excited about that.”

“It’s a great milestone,” said coach Mary Ann Grimes, whose team improved to 17-1 overall before facing the Falcons. “At the beginning of the season, we

talked about our goals. We wanted to work hard every day and win every game. If you do that, then the OCCs and a high seed for the tournament will just take care of itself.”

The Pioneers have won all their games except a 48-43 loss at Northland on Dec. 13. Orange received the third seed in the Division I district tournament and will play Westland on Feb. 17 at Olentangy.

“I’ve told the girls that the regular season games are like 20 games of practice,” Grimes

said. “Once the tournament starts, that’s what the season is all about. Winning the league gave us a little bit of motivation and a little bounce in our step as we go into the tournament.”

Soccer

Liberty’s Smith changes mind, signs with ’Canes

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Olentangy Liberty High School senior Abbey Smith is following former Central Michigan University women’s soccer coach Tom Anagnost to the University of Miami.

The goalkeeper for the Patriots girls soccer team had verbally committed to Central Michigan, but that changed after Anagnost left in December to become the coach at Miami.

“At first, I was pretty upset,” said

Smith, who signed her letter of intent with Miami on Feb. 3. “I loved Central Michigan, but he was a big part of why I decided to go there. He called me a couple of weeks ago and asked me to come on an official visit.

I went down there and fell in love with it.”

Smith joins midfielder Maria Bruno (Western Michigan), defender Michelle DeVilbiss (Purdue) and defender Aubrey Fisher (Ohio State) as Liberty girls soccer players who signed letters of intent with Division I programs.

Last season, Smith was first-team all-OCC and first-team all-district, and DeVilbiss was first-team all-league and second-team all-district. Bruno was honorable mention all-league.

Over the last four years, that group helped Liberty go 44-19-11 overall with two OCC titles and two district final appearances. The Patriots finished 12-3-4 last season after losing to Upper Arlington 1-0 in overtime in a Division I district final.

“We had so many talented players on this team,” Fisher said. “It’s been

really cool to see how this team has grown over the past couple of years.”

Smith said Miami ended up being a better fit than Central Michigan.

“I want to go to med school and Miami has a much better pre-med program,” she said. “The situation as far as soccer goes was much better for me as well.

“At Miami, they have a senior keeper (Vikki Alonzo) coming back and then there’s me. At Central Michigan, they already have two keepers (senior Stefanie Turner and redshirt sopho-

more Grace Labrecque) ahead of me.

The playing opportunity looks much better.”

Fisher was almost in the same position as Smith. She chose the Buckeyes over the Chippewas.

“I just liked the education and opportunities I had at Ohio State,” Fisher said. “It’s always been my dream to play soccer (in college). I feel really blessed to get this chance.”

Track & Field

Liberty’s Uhle brothers to go separate ways

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Olentangy football coach Ed Terwilliger introduces seven Olentangy seniors before they sign letters of intent to play college sports during a ceremony Feb. 7. From left are Alexander Bechtol (soccer, Bowling Green), Tyler Foy (football, Notre Dame College), Reid Dantuono (football, Ohio Dominican), Adaora Anunike (track, Miami University), Mason Estep (football, Findlay), William Greathouse (football, Concord University) and Bryce Cheek (football, Akron).

Track & Field

Braves’ Anunike believes RedHawks are perfect fit

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspaper

the most beautiful campuses I’ve ever seen,” Anunike said. “Everything there was top notch.

“My brother, Kenny, said to make sure I loved the places I was going to be spending the most time — the dorms, the training facilities and the classes. If they’re dreary places, you’re going to wonder, ‘Why am I here?’ I loved everything about Miami. I loved Miami and it was like all the puzzle pieces fit.”

Anunike jokingly blames her brother, a 2008 Olentangy graduate who plays defensive end on the Duke football team, for getting her started as a thrower. As a senior, Kenny Anunike placed 12th in discus at the Division I state meet with a throw of 141 feet, 7 inches.

“This whole thing is Kenny’s fault,” Adaora Anunike said with a laugh. “When I first came out of track, I didn’t know what I wanted to do, so one of the coaches said, ‘Your brother holds the shot and discus records, so why don’t we try you there?’

I said, ‘I’m not my brother.’ And he shot back, ‘Well, you’re the closest thing we’ve got.’”

Anunike won the OCC-Cardinal Division shot put title the last three years. She won the district title in shot put with a school-record 40-1 last year and placed second with a 37-5 in 2009.

After placing 15th in the state as a sophomore (36-9.75) and junior (34-11.25), Anunike is aiming for a third trip to state this year.

“Making it to the state meet (twice) makes me feel a lot more confident this year,” she said. “There’s a lot more pressure for the people who make it for the first time as a senior, but this year the state meet is a ‘been there, did that’ type of thing.”

There were times when Olentangy High School senior Adaora Anunike hated being 5-foot-7, but now the two-time Division I state qualifier in shot put embraces her height.

On Feb. 3, Anunike signed a letter of intent to compete in the throwing events for the Miami University women’s track and field team.

“Who knows? If I was taller, I might have not been a thrower,” Anunike said. “If I were 5-9 instead of 5-7, I might have tried to get a scholarship for volleyball. Everything worked out.”

Anunike’s size made her a perfect fit for the RedHawks, who scored 72 points at the MAC championships last year to place sixth behind Kent State (142), Akron (104), Western Michigan (102), Central Michigan (86.5) and Buffalo (81).

Miami has two throwers on its roster in sophomore Alexandra Roberts, a Hilliard resident and Columbus School for Girls graduate, and junior Samantha Gable of Greenfield, Ind. Anunike was the only thrower added in this recruiting class.

“Adaora is an all-around great athlete. She’s coming to Miami not only to be a great shot putter and discus thrower, but has plans to go on to medical school to be a cardiac surgeon,” Miami coach Kelly Phillips said. “She will add some needed depth in the throws group and will be a great addition to our program both on and off the field.”

Anunike’s decision came down to Miami and Akron, but once she visited Oxford, Ohio, the RedHawks had the upper hand. pbatterson@thisweeknews.com “Their campus was so beautiful. It was one of www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

GIRLS Continued from page B1 opening period. Ashley BassettSmith (11 points), Taylor Agler (11) and Mya Walker (10) reached double figures for the game as eight players scored.

“In the past couple of games, we’ve come out a little tight and missed some easy shots,” Grimes said. “It was good for us to get a lead like that because we’ve been coming out so slow.”

•Dublin Jerome put Olentangy’s OCC-Cardinal Division title celebration on hold with a 49-44 victory over the Braves on Feb. 4.

“We didn’t come out ready to play,” senior Olivia Zwayer said.

“Maybe that whole cutting down the nets got in the way. This taught us to be focused and never take teams lightly even if you’ve beaten them before.”

The Braves were 14-3 overall and 10-2 in the OCC-Cardinal entering the final week of the regular season. They needed to defeat either Westerville Central on Feb. 8 or Westerville South on Friday, Feb. 11, or have Dublin Scioto lose to either Olentangy Liberty on Feb. 8 or Jerome on Feb. 11 to win the league outright.

Olentangy entered the week with a two-game lead on Scioto, which was 8-4 in the OCC-Cardinal. The teams shared the conference championship last year.

Despite the loss to Jerome, the Braves secured the top seed in the Division II district tournament. Olentangy will play Columbus South on Feb. 15 at Marysville.

South, 2-16 overall after losing to Worthington Kilbourne 51-23 on Feb. 5, lost to Olentangy 92-19 in the first round of the Division II tournament last year.

“To be honest, last year they didn’t play real hard against us,” coach John Feasel said. “They

But the Patriots haven’t won a tournament game since they defeated Hilliard Darby 36-35 in the first round in 2005. Since then, Liberty has lost in the first round by an average margin of 24.8 points, including a 67-29 loss to Brookhaven last year.

Coach Ron Florey is looking to change that.

The Patriots were seeded 31st and will face 24th-seeded Kilbourne on Feb. 17 at Hamilton Township.

“We’ve been right there in so many games,” Florey said. “We knew we weren’t going to get a favorable seed, but we’re peaking at the right time.”

If the Patriots are going to survive the first round, they will have to rely on their defense.

Since the beginning of January, only Olentangy has topped 41 points against the Patriots. The Braves defeated Liberty 57-55

in overtime on Jan. 28.

“From the first time we met, I said (to the team) I wanted them to play hard and to play great defense,” Florey said. “Defense is a pride thing. You don’t have to be the most gifted player to play great defense. We’re starting to see the fruits of our labor now.”

After almost beating Olentangy, a team that defeated Liberty 72-31 on Dec. 18, the Patriots edged Westerville North 38-37 on Feb. 4. Allyson VanGundy scored 11 points, including the winning putback of a missed shot with 0.4 of a second to play.

The win over the Warriors, who had beaten the Patriots 6425 on Dec. 21, marked one of the few times a close game went Liberty’s way this season. The Patriots entered the week 2-8 in games decided by 10 points or fewer.

“It’s been very frustrating,” Florey said. “We’re still trying to find ways to win. We’ve been so close and have little to show for it.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The two competed at the National Pole Vault Summit on Jan. 29 in Reno, Nev. Joey Uhle placed first by clearing 16-8 while Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship was third (15-10) and Chris Uhle tied for seventh (15-4).

The Uhles’ brother, Michael, a senior at Akron, placed first in the college division by clearing 5.15 meters.

As freshmen, Chris and Joey both cleared 140 at the regional meet but based on misses, Chris tied for second and went to state while Joey finished fifth. Chris went on to place sixth at state, clearing 14-4.

A year later, it appeared that it was going to be Joey’s turn to shine with Chris missing the season because of a violation of team rules. Joey finished third at regional (14-6) but broke his hand days before state when his pole shattered.

“I worried if I would ever get back into the groove,” Joey said. “Nothing had gone my way, but in the first indoor meet as a junior, I cleared 16-0.”

The twins spent last season trying to top each other. First, Joey set an unofficial state record of 16-5 in an April 13 dual meet with Dublin Jerome; the mark wasn’t officially recognized because it happened at a dual meet. Chris topped his brother by clearing 16-6 at Liberty’s Freedom Relays on April 23. The two shared the record after they both cleared 16-7 at the Olentangy Invitational on April 30. Joey captured it, temporarily, with a 16-8 at the Delaware County Elite Eight meet on May 6.

In addition, both set an OCC-Cardinal Division record by clearing 15-6, but Joey won the meet and Chris finished second based on misses. Joey won the district title (16-3) while Chris finished second (15-6), and Joey captured the regional championship (16-0) while Chris was the runner-up (15-6).

Chris then set the state record of 16-9.

“Since I’ve always had Joey with me, I’ve always had someone who was always pushing me,” Chris said. “I’ll definitely miss him, but I know at Virginia Tech, there’s going to be someone pushing me.”

Last spring, only a few inches separated Olentangy Liberty High School senior Chris Uhle from his twin brother, Joey, a fellow pole vaulter.

In the fall, the distance between the two will be close to 1,500 miles.

Chris has signed a letter of intent to compete for Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., while Joey will accept an appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Chris won the Division I state championship last season by clearing a state-record 16 feet, 9 inches. His brother finished second (16-0).

“It’ll be tough (being apart). I’ll definitely miss him,” Chris said.

“I’m around him 24 hours a day, seven days a week now,” Joey added. “It’s definitely going to be tough. During basic training, I’m not going to be able to talk with Chris or any family or friends at all.”

Being cut off from communications for six weeks is not for everyone, but Joey said attending the Air Force Academy has been his dream since he was in sixth grade. His uncle, Brig. Gen. William Uhle, was an F-17 fighter pilot, and Joey also dreams of taking to the skies.

“I know I’m going to get a great education and I’m going to have a job for five years when I graduate,” said Joey, who was nominated for the Academy by U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi. “It’s nice to have that kind of job security.”

Joey and Chris talked about attending the Air Force Academy together, but Chris decided Virginia Tech was a better fit.

Hokies pole vaulting coach Bob Phillips was a factor in Chris’ decision. Phillips, a three-time Metro Conference, four-time indoor Virginia collegiate and four-time outdoor Virginia collegiate champion, has produced 23 conference champion vaulters as a coach.

“He has produced a lot of great vaulters who weren’t that great in high school,” Chris said.

“He was taking kids who were clearing 14-15 feet in high school and turning them into national caliber vaulters.”

Jerome looks to defend Blue Jackets Cup title

By AARON BLANKENSHIP

good defense to keep our goals against down. If we give up three or less goals per game, I think we’ll be OK.” Liberty coach Jack Hoogeveen said his team will need to play patient and disciplined hockey to win its first Blue Jackets Cup. “Our system is a neutral-zone forecheck, and when we’re forechecking well, we can be a tough team to beat,” Hoogeveen said. “The key is to play within our system and to avoid defensive breakdowns.”

The Patriots feature three high-scoring forward lines, led the by first line of Christopher Bergamesca (15 goals, 29 assists), Noah Allmaras (11 goals, 10 assists) and Jimmy Ruska (23 goals, 22 assists).

Liberty also has a pair of experienced, offensive-minded defensemen in Anthony Bergamesca (six goals, 16 assists) and Alec Vidrick (10 goals, 14 assists).

But Hoogeveen said his squad likely will need a standout performance from one or both of his goaltenders — Eddie Arcy and Bryan Finneran — to win the tournament.

“When you look at how close our games against Coffman and Jerome were, you can see that this tournament is wide open and the difference between a win and a loss can be one big play made by either team,” Hoogeveen said.

“We’ve got three balanced lines and they all can score, and we play well in our defensive end, too. But our goaltenders have done a great job of keeping us in games all season, and we’re going to need them to come through for us in this tournament, because there are a lot of good scorers in our league.”

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Many of the participating coaches consider the Dublin Jerome High School hockey team to be the favorite to win the Blue Jackets Cup, given that the Celtics have won the tournament four of the past five years and won their first Capital Hockey Conference regular-season title this season.

But Jerome coach Pat Murphy cautioned this may be the most competitive tournament in the eight-year history of the event, which will be held Thursday, Feb. 10, Friday, Feb. 11, and Sunday, Feb. 13, at the Dispatch Ice Haus, Chiller North and Chiller Ice Works.

The seeding for the Blue Jackets Cup was determined by the final standings in the CHC. Jerome and Olentangy Liberty each won a share of the regular-season title with 12-1 records and 24 points, but Jerome is seeded first for having beaten Liberty 3-2 on Feb. 4.

Cincinnati Moeller (11-2, 22) was third in the CHC, followed by Dublin Coffman (10-2-1, 21), St. Charles (7-42, 16), Upper Arlington (7-4-1-1, 16), Olentangy Orange (6-4-3, 15), Olentangy (7-6, 14), Thomas Worthington (5-7-1, 11), Gahanna (4-9, 8), DeSales (3-9-0-1, 7), Worthington Kilbourne (211, 4), Dublin Scioto (1-12, 2) and Watterson (0-13, 0). St. Charles is seeded fifth ahead of UA, having beaten UA 32 in overtime on Jan. 7.

The bottom six teams in the CHC will compete in a separate six-team consolation division of the Blue Jackets Cup to determine ninth through 14th place.

That tournament starts Friday, Feb. 11, and concludes Sunday, Feb. 13, and will be held at the Ice Haus and Chiller North.

Liberty’s Drew Ash tries to maneuver the puck past Sam Franklin of Dublin Jerome as the Patriots’ Nick Ramsey (left) and Alec Vidrick follow the play during a game earlier this season. Liberty and Orange face off in the first round of the Blue Jackets Cup on Thursday, Feb. 10.

“We beat Liberty, Liberty beat Coffman (4-3 on Dec. 5) and Coffman beat us (3-1 on Dec. 19) in our league games, and I don’t think you can discount Cincinnati Moeller, St. Charles or Upper Arlington from winning this either, because they’ve been right there with the three of us,” Murphy said. “In a onegame playoff, any team can beat anyone else on a given night. I don’t think many people expected us to win the Blue Jackets Cup the first two years we did it, so that goes to show that you have to play well and take every game very seriously.”

The Celtics were seeded fourth in the Blue Jackets Cup a year ago, but beat fifth-seeded St. Charles 3-0, upset topseeded Liberty 3-0 and rallied to beat third-seeded Moeller 4-3 in the final.

Jerome also won Blue Jackets Cup ti-

tles in 2006, ’07 and ’08.

Murphy said he plans to give each of his four forward lines playing time in an effort to wear down opponents, especially in the second and third rounds.

Among Jerome’s scoring leaders are James Eastep (32 goals, 14 assists), Blair Comfort (11 goals, 26 assists) and Chase Compton (23 goals, 10 assists).

All three of the Celtics’ goaltenders — West Faulkenberry, Cameron Gutman and Josh Howell — have played well and could see action.

“Playing four lines has been our philosophy and our game plan all along, and it’s worked in the Blue Jackets Cup in the past, so we’ll stick with it,” Murphy said. “All four lines are doing really well and we’ve been scoring well in most of our games. We’ve had fantas- ablankenship@thisweeknews.com tic goaltending, too, so the key is to play www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

“Jonathan Alder is the No. 2 team in our district behind us, and they’re in our sectional, so we’re anxious to butt heads with them,” Hammons said.

“It would be nice to win another sectional championship, but I’m personally not too concerned about the team score.

It’s more about trying to advance all 14 of our wrestlers to district.”

Liberty coach Mark Marinelli said the loss to Olentangy will serve as good preparation for the Division I postseason tournaments.

“We needed to win at least half of those swing matches to have a shot at beating Olentangy, and we didn’t win any of them,” Marinelli said. “We lost three matches by one point and that’s a sign that I didn’t get my guys focused enough for that match.

“But losing that match is really a good thing for us, because a lot of guys weren’t

At a glance Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Liberty, Olentangy and Orange wrestling teams: LIBERTY Feb. 2 — Match against Olentangy Orange canceled because of bad weather *Feb. 3 — Lost to Olentangy 42-23 *Feb. 9 — Competed against Marysville Feb. 10 — Home vs. Hilliard Davidson Feb. 19 — Division I sectional at Pickerington North OLENTANGY *Feb. 3 — Defeated Olentangy Liberty 42-23 Feb. 5 — Finished first (261) in 13team Delaware Reimann Invitational

listening to what I’ve been preaching in practice, and now I’ve got their attention. I’d rather have them lose now and regain their focus instead of when it matters more in the sectional and district tournaments.”

The Patriots will compete in a Division I sectional on Feb. 19 at Pickerington North. The top four placers in each weight class from each Division I sectional will advance to the district meet on Feb. 25-26 at Hilliard Darby.

Last season, Liberty won its first sectional title by scoring 260 points at the Division I sectional at Pickerington Central, topping runner-up Mount Vernon (194). Eleven Patriots advanced to district.

ahead of runner-up Hilliard Davidson (257.5) *Feb. 7 — Def. Dublin Scioto 60-12 to clinch OCC-Cardinal championship outright Feb. 19 — Division II sectional at Hilliard Bradley *OCC-Cardinal match ORANGE Feb. 2 — Match against Liberty canceled because of bad weather *Feb. 9 — Competed against Franklin Heights *Feb. 10 — At Watkins Memorial Feb. 19 — Division I sectional at Westland *OCC-Capital match

“We had our best practice we’ve had all year (on Feb. 4) and I think we’re going to be focused to do our best at sectional,” Marinelli said.

“It would be nice to win back-to-back sectional championships, because it’s going to be a real tough sectional with Teays Valley, Dublin Coffman, Gahanna, Pickerington Central and Pickerington North there.

But our first goal is to get as many guys through sectional as possible.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

people and plans both remaining hidden when necessary so no one can tell the true intent.

This production also requires much of the same from the cast, including a woman with blonde hair playing a woman with flowing brown locks, a 25-year-old man portraying two different characters (both many years his senior) and a young woman transforming into a 15-year-old boy.

The fair-haired and fair-skinned Anne-Carolyn Bird spends so much time — between 30 and 45 minutes — applying “more makeup than Miss America” to look that part of a brunette, that there’s not enough time to dye her hair and keep it looking good.

“I love being a brunette,” Bird, who plays Susanna, Figaro’s intended and the object of his master’s affection as well, told The Beat. “I wear a gorgeous brown wig that’s very long, all the way down to my waist.”

The period costuming helps the singing actors take on their varied roles as well, as Bird attempted to describe with as much delicacy as possible.

“One of the aspects of this time period is the women wear corsets,” she explained. “Susanna is a little bit of a flirt, and there are two times in the production where I bow in such a way that presents certain … assets … to a gentleman.”

“I would never do that as Anne-Carolyn Bird, but it’s fun to inhabit that world,” Bird said.

Kirsten Gunlogson has much the opposite situation. As the 15-year-old boy Cherubino, her transformation is even more dramatic.

“It’s different than putting a dress on,” said the veteran of numerous ‘trouser’ roles. But even once I’ve got the jacket and boots on and the wig and the makeup, it’s more important how it feels. I don’t want to be hindered in creating the physicality of the character.

“Cherubino’s a young boy, he’s youthful and exuberant and there are times when I scamper around the stage,” she added. “Plus there is a lot that goes into the time period and the character as far as how I hold my arms and what to do with myself when I’m just standing, or how I walk or sit in a chair or take someone’s hand.”

The physical mannerisms are key for Stefan Barner, who plays both Don Basilio and Don Curzio, both older men but with very different personalities.

“It’s amazing what they can do with makeup and wigs to make you look like a totally different person,” Barner explained. “But the singing and the acting have to be different as well.”

Opera Columbus will present Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro Friday and Sunday, Feb. 11 and 13, at the Ohio Theatre. Tickets are $100$7.50. Call (614) 461-8101.

He added that the different look and feel of each costume helps distinguish for him the differing requirements of each character. Don Basilio is a coconspirator with the Count, smarmy and self-serving, while Don Curzio is a lawyer in full gown who also happens to be quite the bumbler.

“How I walk and my body carriage are totally different and even little things like facial expressions,” Barner said. “I spend a lot of time in my hotel room pacing around and making faces in the mirror.”

Bird, whose Susanna is a servant to the Countess, said the way the characters interact is a significant way to convey to the audience the difference in their social standing.

“I encourage the audience to watch who touches whom, and in what context,” Bird said. “It says a lot about the relationships of the characters.”

“My biggest compliment is when people tell me how much I seem like a boy,” Gunlogson said.

“You want the audience to be transported in their imagination. That’s what theater is.”

La Casita is one of the best Mexican restaurants in town When people ask me — and they frequently do — what’s the best Mexican restaurant in Columbus, I can tell they usually mean “Mexican restaurant of a certain type.” In other words, instead of, say, a bare-bones mom-n-popper in the back of a market, they probably want a gringo-friendly party palace with good free chips and salsa, boat-sized slushy margaritas, bouncy music and a colorphoto-filled, order-by-number menu approximately the size of the Mexico City phone book. Nothing wrong with all that, I go to those places too.

Anyway, if you’re seeking a toptier version of such a fun-forward establishment, look no further than the terrific La Casita. This place rocks.

And on the rocks is how you should order your margarita here.

MENU

by G.A. Benton And if you order La Casita’s “Original” (made with fresh lime juice, Hornitos tequila and Cointreau) with half the sugar (as I do), you’ll be drinking one of the best margaritas in Columbus.

Sip on that smile-making quaff and check out this raucous, fiesta-happy joint. Yes, it’s bright and bouncy and has all of those aforementioned attributes of the standard burrito haunt. But it’s also smaller and cozier, and nicer in most every way — including its cheery, polished wood-paneled walls, arched brick-rimmed windows and loopy wooden chairs with wickery accents.

Fajitas Del Mar, Birria and the “Original” margarita at La Casita.

Oh yeah, and La Casita’s food is better too. A good starter is the refreshing Tostada de Ceviche ($3).

A nice, crispy fried corn tortilla was piled high with diced whitefish, plenty of carrot, onion, a touch of jalapeno and cilantro. A fresh and creamy avocado slice helped balance the bright flavors.

For a considerably more substantial appetizer, opt for the wonderful Birria ($5.50 per “cup”). A veritable bucket of rich, tender, juicy and perfectly salty pot roast chunks was swimming in a thin, glistening red chili sauce. It wasn’t overly spicy, just really delicious.

Considerably more heat emanated from the flaming hot Torta Ahogada ($7.29). A huge, flat and puffy roll was packed with carnitas pork plus a guacamole schmear, then totally soaked in an incendiary, devil-red chili broth. Highly recommended, but only for asbestos-throated types.

La Casita Mexican Restaurant 1355 Bethel Road 614-457-0823 Cuisine: Mexican Price: $ (up to $10 per person) Patio: Yes Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.

Friday-Saturday Milder pork arrived with the almost elegant Lomo de Puerco ($11). Three large but lean slabs of rosemary-scented and just-notdry pork loin were lightly doused in a chili sauce, cheese and pico de gallo. Comes with rice and beans — choose the soupy and excellent whole pintos.

The Fajitas del Mar ($17) breathed life into that ubiquitous cast-iron dish. This one had a big

ol’ nice-tasting and flaky fish (tilapia) plus an ocean of good seared shrimp and scallops.

Like real tacos? Served on soft corn tortillas with radishes, lime, onion and cilantro, La Casita’s are the real deal and a steal of a deal at $2 each. Try the barbacoa, carnitas or chicken — all were juicy and delicious.

As for the towering slice of milky and comforting Tres Leches cake I had for dessert ($4.59), my friendly waiter told me his wife made it. I told him he was a fortunate man.

You’ll be a fortunate diner if you choose to get your Mexican food at La Casita.

Baker mad about new opportunity in Olde Towne East Vicki Hink thinks her new café is a good fit for Olde Towne East, an intimate, tight-knit neighborhood where residents value each other and stores in the area.

“I don’t think it will ever be a Short North with tons of business and all of that, but I don’t know if everyone wants it to be that busy,” said Hink, owner of the recently opened The Angry Baker, 891 Oak St. The 900-squarefoot restaurant seats 14.

Open for breakfast, lunch and early dinner hours, the eatery is specifically known for baked goods, such as the caramel brioche cinnamon roll, Dr. Pepper cake (filled with chocolate ganache and crushed blackberries), croissants and chocolate chip cookies.

The menu is rounded out by savory goods, including a variety of soup and sandwiches such as the crispy chicken thigh, clover greens, fried egg and dressed with chimichurri. There’s also a vegan option — sloppy joes made with lentils. Sandwich prices, including breakfast options, range from $5.25 to $8.25. Sweets are a buck to $4.50 for a slice of cake.

Hink said she is trying to buy local as much as possible, a common expression for today’s conscientious restaurant owner. For example, she buys Ludlow cheese from Blue Jacket Dairy in Bellefontaine, turkey from Cooper Farms in St. Henry and maple syrup, among other items, from Stutzman Farms in Millersburg.

A graduate of Columbus State Community College’s culinary program, Hink has worked locally at such places as Hyde Park, Z Cucina and Bakery Gingham.

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek “I’ve worked for a couple of places and I Vicki Hink, owner of The Angry Baker, is seen here with her brioche always wanted to do my own thing,” she said. cinnamon rolls with caramel, an eclair and a piece of Dr Pepper “I guess I planned to do it a little bit later in life but it all kind of happened.” cake. The Angry Baker opened Jan. 28 at 891 Oak St.

Despite the name of her restaurant, Hink said she’s really not mad at anybody.

“It was kind of a funny nickname from an old bakery I used to work at,” she said. “It just kind of stuck.”

Old Towne East, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, is located on the Near East Side of town. Hink, who lives in the area, said there’s a vibrant, built-in dining culture that frequents such neighborhood haunts as Yellow Brick Pizza and Black Creek Bistro. And there’s room for more, she said.

“I really love the neighborhood,” she said.

“And I knew we were really in the need for something like this.”

The Angry Baker is open six days a week, closed Monday. For more information, call 614-947-0976.

As of Feb. 1, Luce was back in the hands of its original owners.

Chef Alex Rodriguez has returned the Powell restaurant to John and Mike Ciotola, and Randy Turturice. Rodriguez, who purchased Luce two and a half years ago, will stay on as chef for another month, Mike Ciotola said.

The Ciotolas and Turturice founded Luce (pronounced loo-chay) almost six years ago at 3499 Market St. It started out as a casual Italian restaurant with an extensive wine list.

The partnership sold the restaurant to Rodriguez in July 2008. He kept the name and wine inventory and added a Latin touch to the menu.

Mike Ciotola, who now lives in Naples, Fla., said the menu will change considerably.

He has hired Wes Thompson, a former sous chef at the restaurant, and will retain current

Luce sous chef Phillip Goulis.

“We want to move more toward classic Italian, simple preparations with really fresh ingredients,” Ciotola said. “We’re going to try get as much local stuff as we can, as much organic stuff as we can.”

It’s been 18 months since the brothers sold La Scala, the iconic Italian restaurant in Dublin founded by their father, the late Bennie Ciotola.

Operation Buckeye

Founder hopes to top 25,000 boxes this year

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Operation Buckeye started out on the dining room table of founder Jim Caronis’ Worthington home.

It moved into his garage when his late wife, Nancy Priode Caronis, wanted someplace to serve Thanksgiving dinner.

The nonprofit organization, which packs and ships boxes of snacks, candy, Girl Scout cookies, playing cards and other items to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan to help lighten the burden and gloom of being far from home, now has its headquarters on North High Street in Clintonville, a post office box for donations in Westerville and volunteers from throughout central Ohio.

Caronis said last week that he was inspired to launch Operation Buckeye back in 2006 after reading a piece by the late Dispatch columnist Mike Harden about a local Army officer and his soldiers who, instead of coming home from South Korea, were diverted instead to further duty in Iraq.

Caronis immediately told his wife he wanted to send boxes of goodies to those poor military personnel, who so abruptly found themselves diverted from reuniting with loved ones to putting their lives on the line. They decided to pledge $10 for each of their 13 grandchildren and match that figure with their own money, expecting to send perhaps 20 gift boxes to soldiers.

They wound up sending 94 that first time around, Jim Caronis recalled last week. The letters of appreciation received in return were heart-warming, so when Nancy asked her husband if they were going to do it again the next year, he replied: “You betcha!”

With the help of a growing number of like-minded people, Caronis said that the second year’s batch of boxes increased to 184.

To date, the total is 18,000 boxes.

Caronis hopes that figure tops

25,000 by the end of 2011.

“Each and every year we’ve grown, and we continue to grow,” Caronis said.

Nancy Caronis passed away this past Nov. 3, and her husband now carries on with Operation Buckeye in her honor.

On Feb. 18, Jim Caronis will be receiving the 2011 Community Volunteer of the Year honor during the annual awards dinner and silent auction of the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce.

“I just wish my wife could be there, too, to also receive that award,” Caronis said.

Operation Buckeye depends upon a network of Army chaplains, the National Guard and oc-

casionally Ohio State University head football coach Jim Tressel to come up with the names of soldiers in need of the pick-me-up one of the boxes could provide.

Caronis was a member of the same fraternity,Alpha Tau Omega, as Tressel and his brother, OSU running backs coach Dick Tressel. The latter has served as honorary chairman of Operation Buckeye and Caronis said that on one of his visits to the war zone with other college football coaches, Jim Tressel returned with 500 names for the organization.

Often, these are enlisted men and women with little in the way of family support back home, according to Caronis.

“If you’ve got nobody writing a letter to you, you’re sure as heck not getting a box,” Caronis said.

Girl Scout cookies and beef jerky have been among the most requested items on the part of soldiers serving in war zones, according to the Operation Buckeye chairman, but the volunteers who pack the boxes also include things like magazines donated by Half Price Books, wet wipes offered by Buffalo Wild Wings and playing cards among the 45 to 50 items contained in each.

“We call them care boxes,” Caronis said. “They’re sort of like snowflakes; there’s no two alike.”

A small American flag and, as the name implies, a buckeye are

among the “signature items” contained in each.

Those packing the boxes often include a personal name with their name and address.

“Many of the soldiers write back,” Caronis said.

Volunteer packers have included schoolchildren from throughout central Ohio, the members of 11 different athletic teams at OSU, Girl Scouts and many others willing to give a little of their time to thank someone far away for serving in the military, the chairman added.

“People in Columbus and the United States in general are giving, giving people,” Caronis said.

While many of the items included in the “care boxes” are donated, the cost of shipping them falls on Operation Buckeye, and it’s gone up from $8.50 a box when Jim and Nancy started to $10.95 today.

“My feeling is we ought to do like the Brits to and send it over for free,” Caronis said.

As the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have gone on over the years since Operation Buckeye was founded, Caronis said that he sometimes has to remind people there are still U.S. soldiers in danger far away.

“There’s 100,000 soldiers and their families, and they know we’re at war,” he said. “The rest of the people go to the mall and go out to dinner.

“The purpose of our mission is to bring a touch of home to the soldiers who are away from home for a long time,” Caronis added.

And it’s not a mission that’s going to end until the wars end, he vowed.

“We’re not going to get out of it until they’re all home, safe and sound,” Caronis said.

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen INSTRUMENTS FOR ACTIVE LIFESTYLES If you’re an active person with a hearing loss, there are hearing instruments with features that will keep you at the top of your game. For instance, “automatic adaptive directional microphones” have the ability to help you attend luncheons and hold meetings without missing a word. On the fairway or on the deck of a cruise ship, a feature known as a “wind-noise manager” helps reduce the effects of wind -induced noise and improve conversational hearing ability. Devices known as “data -logging” and “data-learning” actually record and analyze how you are utilizing certain features on your hearing instrument and customize volume adjustments. As a result, you benefit from precise custom programming without having to visit the hearing professional’s office for an adjustment.

Keeping pace with the fast-growing technology of today’s hearing industry is an integral art of our business at ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS. Our experienced staff will use specialized equipment to pinpoint and evaluate your hearing impairment. We then choose among a selection of hearing instruments to match the most appropriate aid with your individual needs. Our services don’t stop there however. At 1000 Morrison Road, Suite H, Gahanna, we know how crucial follow-up care and support are to the successful wearing of any hearing instrument And our advanced hearing aids are priced at affordable levels, way below our competitors’ prices. Call us at 614-654-4309 We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!

County scales 911 levy back to 0.45 mill

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Delaware County commissioners scaled back a planned property tax increase Jan. 31, electing to place a five-year, 0.45mill 911 renewal levy on the May 3 ballot.

The millage is smaller than the 0.62-mill issue defeated last fall, and the 0.75-mill figure the county had been considering for May. The money would be used to maintain emergency communications in the 911 system.

The commissioners decided to bear some of the 911 operating costs through existing general fund revenues, which commissioner Dennis Stapleton said meant reducing other expenditures.

“The need is a little in excess of $20-million (to support 911 service over five years),” Stapleton said. “This renewal levy generates just a little over half of that, and ... the difference between the renewal levy that the taxpayers have been supporting and any additional monies (beyond that) will have to be addressed through efficiencies, through

restructuring issues.”

Officials were caught off guard in November when voters rejected a proposed fiveyear, 0.62-mill property tax that would have cost the owner of a $100,000 home $18.99 annually, or about $38 for a $200,000 home.

More than 56 percent of voters rejected the proposal, which would have overlapped by one year the existing 0.45 mill levy that will expire Dec. 31.

The county 911 board originally recommended that the levy be put on the ballot this May at 0.75 mill, representing a renewal of the 0.45 mill and an additional 0.30 mill, for a total cost of $22.97 per $100,000 of home value. Instead, as approved by the commissioners Dec. 31, the existing levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $13.79 annually if approved by voters.

“I do believe the taxpayers in Delaware County are being generous already,” Stapleton said. “I believe we are being very responsible in asking the voters to approve a renewal of 0.45 (mill).”

Commissioner Ken O’Brien said the re-

newal will handle 911 needs for two years with minimal support from the general fund.

A planned equipment upgrade will require additional funds, either through budget reductions in other expense items or a new ballot issue at that time, he said.

“Speaking for myself, what I did was look at what was critical,” O’Brien said. “We need to make sure we have the funding to do what is required of 911. The amount of money raised by the renewal will be sufficient to get us through this year and next year, with just a small amount from the general fund. After that, the board will need to ... reduce staff, reduce services or take more from the general fund or go back to the ballot again.”

O’Brien said the general public view is that government must be smaller than it has been.

The 911 budget will have to be looked at again in 2014.

“Collecting that amount of dollars means we will have to be very tight on our budgeting so we only spend on what we need to spend,” O’Brien said.

Rabbit rescue group now has paid director

By KEVIN PARKS

‘Luv Some Bunny’ wine-tasting set for Feb. 12

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ohio House Rabbit Rescue has progressed by leaps and bounds since it was founded by Clintonville resident Beverly May in the summer of 2009. “Our big thing was that we hired a director,” May said last week.

Heather Dean of Grove City, who developed grant-writing skills while working for United Cerebral Palsy and who has a communications degree from Otterbein University, came on board as a paid director for what had been an allvolunteer organization in early January, according to May. Ohio House Rabbit Rescue, which has members from throughout central Ohio, including Northland, Dublin, Upper Arlington, the campus area and Gahanna, grew throughout 2010, including upping the number serving on a team planning for construction of a physical shelter specifically for unwanted pet rabbits, May said.

“We decided to keep that momentum going,” she said. “There was just so much we could get done if we hired somebody to work eight hours a day.”

The first fundraising event of the year for Ohio House Rabbit Rescue will be a wine-tasting scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 12.

Billed as “Luv Some Bunny,” with a nod to Valentine’s Day, the event will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at House Wine, 644 High St. in downtown Old Worthington. Those attending will be offered a chance to “sample emerging brands and artisan wines,” according to the announcement.

Tickets are $30 for the event, which pays for four wine selections, cheese and flatbread.

Dean, who has had pet rabbits since about 2004, was one of the first members of the planning team for the fledgling rescue operation.

“So we could see her skills just as soon as we started the organization,” May said.

A silent auction will also be held in conjunction with the tastings. Items up for bid will include hand-painted wine glasses and baskets of Ohio State University gear, according to rescue organization founder Beverly May. Another silent-auction fundraiser benefiting the rabbit rescue is to take place on May 1 at Galleria Evangelia in Clintonville. “We’re hoping it will be a really big event,” May said.

More information is available at the nonprofit organization’s website, www.ohiohouserabbitrescue.org.

— Kevin Parks through grants, as well as her ability to communicate with people in general and the media in particular, made her the ideal candidate for director of Ohio House Rabbit Rescue, May said.

“Additionally, she really knows rabbits,” May said. “She knows all the is-

sues of rabbits. She knows the needs of rabbits.”

“Before it was always something I did outside of my work,” Dean said. “I wouldn’t call it a hobby but it certainly was more on a volunteer basis. Now I find I can devote a lot more time to digging for information and finding out what others are doing around the country for rabbits … to figure out what we can do here in Ohio for the rabbits.

“It’s become kind of all-encompassing, but it’s a passion of mine, so that’s good.”

“We were so fortunate to pick her up in January,” May said.

A major garage sale, donations from members and other fundraising efforts are paying Dean’s salary.

For the time being, May and Dean said, Ohio House Rabbit is in what the founder called the “friend-raising phase,” in preparation for a major capital campaign.

That campaign would pay for construction and operation of a shelter devoted solely to pet rabbits that people have given up for one reason or another.

group after realizing a majority of her pets were given to her by people who no longer wanted them or could care for them.

“We’d still like a separate facility,” May said. “Being a prey animal, it’s not necessarily a good idea to have them in the same facility with cats and dogs.”

“We are in a campaign to kind of just raise awareness at this point, whether it’s going to individuals, corporations, local area businesses, just to give people a look at what is going on in the world of animal rescue and how rabbits kind of fit into that piece,” Dean said. “We knew from years of doing this that education is key. People just aren’t aware of the plight of abandoned pet rabbits.”

“There’s just such a huge need in central Ohio,” May said.

The facility, which the planning team hopes might be constructed by 2012, would be located somewhere in the county, Dean said, and ideally in Columbus.

“Literally, it will be quiet because rabbits like it kind of quiet,” May said. “We can really target their needs, and hopefully get people in there to see what nice pets they make.”
