Human Services

Group seeks federal grant to buy new bus

By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers Canal Winchester Human Services has applied for a federal grant through the Ohio Department of Transportation to purchase a new handicap-accessible vehicle.

If the grant is awarded, the bus would replace one purchased in 2006 that has 150,000 miles on it.

“We provide transportation to anyone who lives in the district (who is) age 60 or older,” Canal Winchester Human Services director Penny Miller said.

The organization also provides transportation to residents in the Canal Winchester school district who have a physician-verified disability that keeps them from driving, she said.

Miller said the organization likely will not find out if it will receive the grant

until late May, around Memorial Day. In order to qualify for the funding, an organization must prove it provides unduplicated services, she said.

“No one else can do the same thing you are doing,” Miller said, adding that the organizations must also be part of a statewide transportation plan, which the human services group is.

The grant will not cover the entire cost of buying a new bus, Miller said. If Canal

Winchester Human Services is awarded the grant, it still will have six to eight weeks to raise $10,000 to cover the nearly $50,000 cost of the vehicle, she said.

The bus would not be purchased until around Labor Day, she said.

The transportation program offered through the organization was originally designed to help residents get to medical and dental appointments, she said.

“If the schedule permits, we take (sen-

iors) anywhere else they want to go, as long as it’s within (our boundaries),” she said.

Human Services also has a 12-passenger 2007 van but it is not wheelchairaccessible, Miller said. Both vehicles make multiple trips a day, she said. There are three part-time drivers who run the routes.

County eyes Checks being stolen from mailboxes repairs to Several incidents were in Haaf Farms subdivision in Violet Township local bridge

By NATE ELLIS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office is advising area residents to change some bill-paying habits after a number of checks were stolen from Violet Township mailboxes.

Since the latter part of 2010 and the outset of this year, the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office has received approximately 10 reports of checks being removed from Violet Township residents’ outgoing mail.

The thefts have become particularly problematic because the culprits

are finding ways to either cash the checks or produce counterfeit checks using local residents’ personal information, sheriff’s officials said.

“There’s a group going around taking checks out of mailboxes and they alter them to make them look like the checks are theirs,” Sgt. Marian De-

vault said. “They can alter it to look really good, really authentic, and then they use the routing numbers and other information to make a check out to

Recycling bin set up for residents’ use

By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers Canal Winchester residents now have access to a recycling bin as part of the village’s contract with Waste Management.

The bin provided by Waste Management is located at 20 S. High St., just west of the Interurban building, Mayor Michael Ebert said.

“We have had requests for the last year, year and a half, for some type of recycling in town,” he said. “This is a way to offer it without the residents having to pay. If we had curbside recycling, there would be an additional charge by the waste-hauler.”

Waste Management put the recycling bin in place on Feb. 18, Ebert said. The company also has a recycling bin located at its facility on Wal-

“Its purpose is to give residents who don’t have a space for a garden an opportunity to plant one, bring people downtown, maintain greenspace and encourage residents to interact with each other,” she said.

There is no cost to participate in the community garden but the plots are only available to village residents. All plots will be allocated on a first-come, first-

served basis. Residents are encouraged to turn in the required agreement outlining gardeners’ responsibilities and what the village will provide as soon as possible. Plots will be assigned on April 29.

Village resident Mike Gust tills the land and gets the community garden ready each year, Hoover said. The plan is to have the soil ready for planting when the letters go out assigning plots, she said.

There are 55 garden plots, each meas-

Continued from page A1 neer. “The superstructure is going to be strengthened to allow for larger load limits.”

The Pickerington Road bridge is located in Bloom Township, just south of the Pickerington Road-Hummel Road intersection.

It’s approximately one-half mile south of the border with Violet Township, and it crosses a branch of Walnut Creek.

Baird said the bridge hasn’t deteriorated significantly, but is in need of maintenance due to natural wear and tear from the elements and the 1,219 vehicles that, on average, cross it daily.

Funding for the U.S. Bridge contract, as well as additional, currently unknown costs the county will incur to repair the bridge abutments will come from the county’s road and bridges fund and its share of the state motor vehicle tax.

“It’s just the natural order of things that have led to the need to repair it,” Baird said. “We’re responsible for maintaining all the bridges on county and township roads, as well as most of the bridges in municipalities in the county.

“The idea is to get things before they get so bad that you have to close it down for good or lower the load rating,” he said.

The contract with U.S. Bridge requires the company to pay liquidated damages to the county if the project isn’t completed by Sept. 17.

“It’s going to be done this construction season,” Baird said.

GROUP In January 2010, the two buses made 239 one-way trips, she said.

In 2010 overall, she said, there were 4,020 one-way trips.

The transportation program was started in the late 1990s after Canal Winchester Human Services purchased a vehicle, Miller said. That bus was used until early 2000 when the agency was awarded its first ODOT grant and purchased a new bus.

“The village stepped up and paid for us to have a part-time driver,” Miller said. “In 2007, we expanded and added a vehicle and a second part-time driver.”

The village of Canal Winchester provides 50 hours of transportation a week, she said. Human Services is responsible for funding anything over 50 hours.

The community garden is mostly used to grow vegetables — everything from cucumbers to corn, Hoover said. A few people also incorporate some flowers into their plantings, she said.

Hoover said the biggest challenge for the community garden is lack of on-site water access. Participants must bring their own water in.

Participants are responsible for taking care of their own designated space and removing any plants or other materials by Nov. 1.

Residents interested in participating can pick up an agreement form at the village’s municipal building, 36 S. High St., or print one from the village’s website at www.canalwinchesterohio.gov/ QL/FormsPermits/GardenAgreement2011.pdf.

uring 10 feet by 20 feet. Households may request more than one plot, but additional plots will only be assigned if plots are still available after all initial requests are filled, she said. Last year, 48 households participated in the community garden project.

“Several people requested more than one,” Hoover told Canal Winchester Village Council members at their Feb. 21 council meeting.

“We definitely filled all of the plots,” she said.

Canal Winchester Community Affairs director Carrie Hoover said the senior center staff handles scheduling for the program.

“We are happy to be able to work with Canal Winchester Human Services to provide this program to our senior population,” Hoover said. “It’s an important service that allows participants transportation to and from medical appointments, as well as some personal trips, which helps many of the clients maintain their independence.”

Miller said there are more than 250 Canal Winchester residents signed up for the service.

Applications for transportation assistance are available at the community center or on the Canal Winchester Human Services website at www.cwhumanservices.org. tstubbs@thisweeknews.com

The village will post a sign on the bin listing the materials that can be recycled, Ebert said.

“We are working on a sign right now,” he said. “It’s not up yet. But we do have a list.”

Village officials asked that items such as milk jugs be rinsed out before being placed in the recycling bin, he said.

“That does a lot in keeping away the flies and that type of stuff,” Ebert said.

Residents cannot recycle any materials that have been contaminated by food, like sandwich wrappings or anything that might have had grease in it, he said.

Village officials are hoping to add a second bin in the spring or summer on Dietz Drive, south of the high school football stadium.

“We have to do some infrastructure work

there to put that one in,” Ebert said. “We are waiting on the weather to clear up.”

Councilman Rick Deeds asked at the Feb. 24 village council meeting if there was a possibility of adding a third bin.

“If we can find a location that is feasible,” Ebert said. “Waste Management has one out there open to the public to use. If it catches on and people are using it, we can do additional (bins).”

Ebert later told ThisWeek that when they were selecting sites for the bins, village officials tried to locate areas of town that would be easy to get to and that would provide easy access where vehicles could be parked for a few minutes while people were delivering items to be recycled.

“We were trying to make it somewhat visible so that they are not really hidden — but you don’t want them to stick out,” he said of the containers.

Waste Management will empty the recycling bins three times a week, Ebert said, so if the bins get full, there shouldn’t be any recyclables lying around outside the containers.

There was no additional cost to add the recycling to the Waste Management contract, he said. tstubbs@thisweeknews.com

Ms. Marci’s Sweet Treats looking for new owner

By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers The downturn in the economy has prompted one Canal Winchester resident to close her bakery so she can take another job in order to help her family meet its financial obligations.

Marci Harvey is selling Ms. Marci’s Sweet Treats, a fixture in downtown Canal Winchester since June 2008. Its last day of operation was Feb. 26.

Harvey started her new job at the M S Trucking warehouse on Feb. 28.

“We are selling because we need to have money coming in on our personal side,” Harvey said. “The bakery is only three years old. It is making money and increasing (sales) every year, but not to the point that I don’t have to go out and get a paycheck.”

Harvey said her husband, Rex, was laid off after the company he worked for 15 years, Tomasco Mulciber Inc., closed its doors in 2009.

“We were able to do everything for the household on his income and cannot do that any more,” she said.

Harvey said she first discovered a love of baking when she worked as the manager at J & K Heart Farm, a pastry shop in the downtown area that closed in 2007.

“

We are selling because we need to have money coming in on our personal side. The bakery is only three years old. It is making money and increasing (sales) every year, but not to the point that I don’t have to go out and get a paycheck.

”

MARCI HARVEY —Owner of Ms. Marci’s Sweet Treats

“When I was working there, I kind of realized that it was my calling,” she said, adding that the shop owner had actually been her home economics teacher when she was in high school.

“Baking has been in my family for a long time,” she said. “It just came natural to me.”

Harvey opened Ms. Marci’s Sweet Treats in June 2008, taking some of the J & K Heart Farm recipes with her, as well as some family recipes from her mom and grandma she found in an old cookbook.

“My aunt was George Steinbrenner’s personal chef,” Harvey said. “I found her recipes and a Red Velvet Cake (recipe) she paid $100 for when she was a teenager in Florida. Some of these recipes do have a history. There are some I created along the way.”

Ms. Marci’s baked goods taste just like the recipes you make at home, she said.

Harvey used no preservatives and everything was made from scratch, not out of a box.

“There is a lot of labor and a lot of cost,” Harvey said. “That is why our stuff was so good.”

One of the recipes she’s most known for is her Hoho cake, a chocolate cake with cream filling. The cakes are still sold at Rule 3 in Pickerington for birthday cakes, Harvey said.

Ms. Marci’s was also known for nobake cookies, cutout cookies, vanilla chip maple cookies, pies and cinnamon rolls, she said.

“We used to do candy but now we pretty must just do buckeyes,” she said.

Harvey has the business listed on craigslist for $150,000, which would cover

all the expenses she put into the business, pay for the equipment and buy the rights for the recipes. In return, she promises not to produce the recipes for a profit in the future.

“We had to redo all of the electric,” she said. “We redid all the plumbing. Everything is up to current code. We painted the building, put in new flooring and new ceilings. It is ready to walk in and start baking.”

Everything is included but the cost of rent. The new bakery owner will have to negotiate the rental terms with the building owner, Harvey said. Harvey said she tried to find someone to run the bakery while she went back to work but she wasn’t able to find a full-time employee for a reasonable amount of money.

A 1991 graduate of Canal Winchester High School, Harvey and her family moved to the community when she was 2 years old. The community has been very supportive of the bakery, Harvey said.

“I get people every day (who say) ‘This is what Canal needed,’” she said. “We get people from Columbus, Westerville … even people from Athens that come here on a weekly basis. Everyone just says they can’t find anything like this.

That is what hurts.”

Bruce Jarvis, Main Street Canal Winchester director, said Harvey first started selling baked goods at the farmers market in Canal Winchester.

“She really has some great products,” he said. “When the opportunity presented itself back about three years ago, she leased the space there on High Street and set up shop as a real traditional bakery.”

Suzanne Brown, a member of the Canal Winchester High School Alumni Military Recognition Committee, said she relied on Ms. Marci’s Sweet Treats for all of her holiday baking.

“She also was instrumental in supporting the CWHS Alumni Recognition Ceremony that I organized back in October,” Brown said. “She provided all the delicious desserts for the veterans and their families.”

Kelley Lehman Doerfler, owner of the Garden Herb Shop and Harvest Moon Café, said the bakery will be missed.

“We wish Marci the best in her future endeavors,” Doerfler said.

Harvey said she had some of the most wonderful people in the world for customers.

“The customers are great and they deserve someone who will listen to them and be there for them,” she said. tstubbs@thisweeknews.com

U.S. Army in 1908 was more ‘exclusive’ than one might think By the fall of 1908, the United States had not been at war for several years. And with the successful conclusion of the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection, America would not be involved in ED another major LENTZ conflict until the outbreak of World War I in 1917.

But that did not mean that the military could not use a few more good people from time to time. To that end, signs were seen in public places around Columbus that simply said “WANTED — AbleBodied Men for the U. S. Army.”

A young man wishing to become part of that army was directed to what was then the second-largest Army recruiting station in the United States: Columbus Barracks on the northeast side of downtown Columbus.

Originally opened in 1861 as the Columbus Arsenal at the outbreak of the Civil War, the facility was used a storage and distribution facility until 1875, when it became a recruiting station as well and its name was changed to Columbus Barracks. Expanding in size and complexity over the years, by 1908 it consisted of a number of buildings in addition to the iconic Shot Tower in the center of the grounds. These included barracks and even a bandstand for the musicians of the post.

A reporter from a local paper in 1908 decided to see how a young man became a soldier. He visited Columbus Barracks and wrote a lengthy article about what he found. A few excerpts from the article will tell us a little about the post itself as well as the soldiers in training there.

“Down by the gate, a sentry, chosen from one of the permanent companies, his clothing as spic and span as if he had just stepped from a fashion plate, swings up and down on his beat, his rifle polished and glistening in the evening sun’s rays.

“A bunch of applicants — some in half military dress, some in workman’s clothes and few in derby hats and long-tailed coats — is just coming through the gate.

They have been temporarily ‘passed’ by some minor recruiting station in Zanesville, Cincinnati or some other point, and are here for their final examination.

“Their names are taken, each is given a bath, and after supper are tucked away in row upon row of iron beds, built one over the other, like berths in a steamboat.”

In the days that follow, the men are closely examined, outfitted and prepared for service in the army. The process begins: “The men are now clean, registered and have expressed a desire for the branch of the service they wish to enlist in — cavalry, infantry, coast artillery, etc. Different branches of the service require different builds of men. For instance, the coast artillery has different regulations about adenoids and lack of certain teeth than does the infantry arm. ... All must have eight connecting ‘grinders’ however, for sometimes in the field, salted horse and hard tack are the only food for days. ...

The iconic Shot Tower was at the center of the grounds at the Columbus Barracks recruiting station in 1908.

“The medical examination from start to finish is thorough. The applicant must be single (for the first enlistment) and physically perfect. ... He must have good sight, else the weapons the government is to give him would be as a broomstick in the hands of a child; he must have no germs or tuberculosis lurking in the system; no tendency to hoard disease or other maladies. ...

“All recruits must be between the ages of 18 and 35. He must not be under 5’4” in height. At that figure he must weigh at least 110 pounds. ... If he is physically sound and has come up to all the medical requirements, he is now sworn into the U. S. service as a recruit.

“He gets a toilet kit first dash out of the box. This is all done up like a pair of shoes, in a neat box.

There’s russet and a black belt and shoe polish, a hair brush, a tooth brush, a razor, soap, two towels, a whisk broom and a ‘housewife’ — a little packet containing threads, needles, buttons and whole lot of other things a man might want when his pants gets hung up on a barbed wire trocha. ... This costs Uncle Sam $3.01.

“The applicant also gets tooth powder, a box of Tripoli to shine his buttons with, a gun brush, a shoe brush and a ‘button stick.’...

The button stick is a piece of board, having a slot cut in it. This is slipped over the button and Mr. Applicant can shine his buttons to a fare-you-well, without getting any white powder on his clothes.

“He gets a $6 olive drab blanket, not one of those National Guard affairs that years ago used to be used as a minnow seine between sleeps, but the real, frostdefying article. He gets an olive drab coat, trousers, leggins, three changes of underwear and six pairs of socks. In addition he is served

with four pairs of white medium weight gloves for dress affairs, and a cap and overcoat. ... To the heavy artillery, the outfit served is blue rather than olive drab. Then comes more clothes — a fatigue uniform (like overalls) but the color of new clear coffee is issued.

“For 15 days or more, the embryo soldier learns to ‘guide right,’ ‘about face,’ ‘to the rear march,’ ‘ fours right about’and the other little details that are necessary to tell the right hand from the left — quick! Then he gets a gun and its ‘shold hawms,’ ‘c’rry hawms,’ ‘p’rade res,’until he can’t see. He learns the gun drill and is ready in about 30 days to be transferred to some command that is ‘shy’ on membership ... the first year — in peace times — he gets clothes, board, medical attendance, washing and $13 a month. ... If Mr. Applicant gets to be a good shot he gets $2 a month extra for marksman; $3 for sharpshooter and $5 a month extra for expert rifleman.

A sergeant in charge of a mess gets $6 a month extra. There are all kinds of ways to make extra money in the army.

“In 15 days he is carrying a gun and learning the rudiments of the Manual of Arms; in three years he is the finished product, the finest type of man on earth — the American soldier.”

In 1922, the name of Columbus Barracks would be changed to Fort Hayes in recognition of Civil War soldier and American President Rutherford B. Hayes.

The post would continue to be a recruiting center through the Vietnam era. Today, most of the site serves as the Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center of the Columbus school district.

Checks being stolen from mailboxes Continued from page A1 and going to stores to buy high-dollar items that they either keep, sell or return for cash.”

Several of the reported thefts have come from residents in the Haaf Farms subdivision of Violet Township.

In response, Devault said the sheriff’s office is advising residents against mailing checks from their home mailboxes.

Rather, she said, residents should either pay their bills online, or mail checks using more secure U.S. Post Office mailboxes.

Additionally, Devault said, residents should remain vigilant.

“Watch out for each other,” she said. “There are people who are home all day, and if you see something like suspicious people in the neighborhood or anyone getting into mailboxes, call us.”

Crimes or suspicious activities can be reported to the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office by calling (740) 652-7911.

In the meantime, the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Post Office’s Columbus headquarters are investigating the recent thefts.

Det. Scott Hargrove said the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office continues to track down leads, but as of Feb. 28 had made no arrests related to the check thefts or unauthorized uses. He said the office had vague information about some individuals believed to have cashed or presented the stolen checks at businesses.

“We have no suspect information on committing the thefts,” he said. “However, on presenting the counterfeit checks, which were presented, some in Ohio and some in other states, it varies between African American males and females.”

Sam Decker of Canal Winchester competes in the 100-yard freestyle during the Division II state meet Feb. 25 in Canton. Decker won the event in 46.1 seconds.

Canal Winchester Roundup

Decker captures state title in 100 free

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Canal Winchester High School junior Sam Decker wasn’t sure how he would respond to the pressure of competing in his first Division II state swimming and diving meet.

But instead of wilting in the spotlight, Decker thrived. He won the 100-yard freestyle in a team-record 46.1 seconds, ahead of runner-up William Rosler (46.13) of Columbus Academy.

Decker was the top seed in the 100 free and the third seed in the 50 free at the meet, which was held Feb. 23-25 at Canton’s C.T. Branin Natatorium.

“I’ve known people who have folded under the pressure swimming in important meets for the first time, but I practice with the Ohio State Swim Club in Ohio State’s pool every day, so I’m already used to swimming in bigger facilities,” Decker said.

“It was fun to swim in front of so many people and I could feel the energy from the crowd, and that just made me want to go faster and do my best to win.”

Decker finished third (20.91) in the 50 free, behind Hunting Valley University School’s Andrew Malone (20.5) and DeSales’ Cooper Staton (20.75).

“I always wish I could have gone faster after I’m done swimming that race, but I’m happy with my place and the fact I was able to medal in it,” said Decker, whose squad scored 48 points to finish 12th behind champion University School (377) as 57 teams scored.

Senior Tyler Simonton finished ninth in the 100 backstroke (53.14) after winning the consolation final with a time that

The Indians’ Sam Decker pumps his fist after receiving his medal on the podium after winning the 100 freestyle.

was faster than two swimmers who competed in the final.

Simonton, who also finished 14th in the 200 free (1:46.14), placed seventh in the 100 back (53.07) at state a year ago to become the first Indians swimmer to stand on the state podium.

“Tyler was kind of upset he didn’t make the finals, because he swam the seventh-fastest time the second day, and the best he could get was ninth,” Decker said.

Wyatt Meade, Decker, Simonton and Brandon Hutchins finished 17th in the 200 medley relay in 1:43.89.

“This is the first year our team’s ever put together a relay, so competing at state was fun for us,” Decker said.

•The wrestling team scored 92.5 points to place fifth behind champion Olentangy (158.5) as 42 teams scored in the Division II district tournament Feb. 2526 at Columbus East.

“We wrestled well, and fifth is the best we’ve ever done as a team at district,” coach Trent Brooks said.

The top four placers in each weight class advanced to the three-day state tournament that begins Thursday, March 3, at

Ohio State, and three Indians made the cut.

Nathan Pressley went 4-0 to place first at heavyweight and advance to state for the first time.

He edged Steubenville’s John Eckroth 4-3 in overtime in a quarterfinal, beat Hamilton Township’s Chris Settles 6-3 in a semifinal and defeated Granville’s Kirk Willis 16-9 in the final.

In a sectional final on Feb. 19, Pressley was pinned by Willis in 1:20.

“Nathan won the toughest heavyweight district in the state for Division II,” Brooks said.

“He beat a two-time state placer in the quarterfinals, beat another state qualifier in the semi-

finals and beat the kid he lost to in a sectional final last week in the final.”

Joe Boswell (130 pounds) went 4-0 to qualify for state for the second time, pinning Millersburg West Holmes’ Max Rohskopf in the final in 3:25.

Brady Hutchins (125) went 3-1 to place second and qualify for state for the third time. He lost to Lisbon Beaver’s Johnny McComas 7-4 in the final.

Hutchins went 1-2 at state each of the previous two seasons. Boswell went 0-2 at state two years ago and didn’t wrestle last year because he was living in Italy.

“All three of our guys are poised to place at state right now,

because they will be opening against No. 3 or 4 seeds,” Brooks said. “It’s just a matter of staying focused and healthy.”

Despite competing with a torn knee ligament, Dalton Tullius went 2-3 to place sixth at 135.

“Dalton really stepped it up and wrestled well with a completely torn ACL,” Brooks said.

“He showed great heart and willpower to make it this far after getting injured just three weeks before district.”

Others who competed for the Indians but fell short of qualifying for state were Emmanuel Barnes (103, 0-2), Nick Brady (112, 1-2), Royce Calloway See INDIANS, page B2

Commentary

Wrestlers ride emotional roller coaster at district Joy and relief were among the feelings Olentangy Liberty High School wrestler Jarrod Boone experienced as he walked off the mat after his 3-0 victory over Westland’s Scott Haslam in a consolation semifinal Feb. 26 at Hilliard Darby.

The win assured Boone a spot among the top four in his weight class, landing him a coveted berth in the Division I state tournament at Ohio State for the first time.

It also meant he was one of the fortunate ones — particularly at 125 pounds — to avert the painful feelings associated with being a senior whose dreams of advancing to state get dashed for the final time.

There were 93 seniors among the 224 overall district representatives at Darby, but 12 of those were among the

16 competitors at 125. The weight that had the next most seniors was 215, which had nine.

Needless to say, the emotions throughout the action last weekend were wide-rangJARROD ing at 125 as topULREY seeded seniors such as Hilliard Davidson’s Eric Hoffman and Lancaster’s Ben Davis came up short of qualifying for state.

Troy’s Cole Cochran pinned Beavercreek’s Josh Stevens in 4 minutes, 54 seconds in a matchup of seniors for the 125 championship, while Boone settled for fourth after losing to Pickerington Central senior Isaiah Brunner 7-3 in the third-place match.

But for those four athletes, how they did during the night finals Feb. 26 was secondary to the fact that they had survived what was perhaps the tournament’s most rugged bracket.

“It was really competitive because I’ve wrestled a few of these guys before,” Boone said. “I was really happy and nervous at the same time. It’s great because now you get to be recognized throughout the state. You know you’re one of the top 16 in the entire state.”

Boone came in with extra motivation after losing in his consolation semifinal and settling for being a state alternate a year ago.

He attended last year’s state tournament and watched as teammate Ethan Snyder competed. Boone then participated in more open tournaments than in any previous offseason.

Having a more focused attitude also has helped Brunner.

He was a district qualifier at 103 as a sophomore at Central despite coming out for the sport for the first time. Last season, he attended Columbus South and ended up fifth at a Division II sectional at 119.

Refocused and back with the Tigers this season, Brunner lost to Boone 85 in the sectional final at Pickerington North on Feb. 19. At district, he was pinned by Cochran in 1:10 in a semifinal but edged Davis 2-1 in his next match to qualify for state.

Brunner had fallen to Davis 8-6 during the Tigers’ 30-24 dual victory Feb. 4.

“I think with (so many) of the guys being seniors (at 125) it was more intense, so it was harder,” Brunner said.

“I would have been mad if I hadn’t made it (to state). I like wrestling, but I just really don’t like losing. I was mad when I didn’t get out as a sophomore but I got over it. Last year I think I played around too much. I think my coaches this year pushed me harder because they knew I could get to state.”

There might not be a more hopeless feeling for wrestlers than when all their hours of conditioning, drilling and becoming mentally tougher doesn’t result in victories during the most intense situations.

For seniors such as Boone and Brunner, the payoff makes the hard work seem worth it. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

forming.’Ari Hest loves you.

He just loves songwriting more.

“There’s something about the feeling of coming up with a good melody or a good line,” Hest told The Beat. “That’s why I do what I do.”

Hest, a Brooklyn-based pop singer-songwriter, has proven his adroitness in those other areas as well. In the midst of a heavy touring schedule, he self-produced his 2009 album Twelve Mondays. The project culminated a 2008 Web-based project in which he wrote, recorded and released a new song every Monday throughout the year, allowing fans to then select their 12 favorites for the album.

“I made all the decisions,” Hest said. “So (for his new record, Sunset Over Hope Street), I gave up the reigns.”

Specifically, to indie musician and producer Alex Wong.

“I knew going in that this was going to be something I wasn’t used to, but it was very much an ‘I’d like to try this’ mentality,” Hest explained.

“I knew going in I would be pushed. Alex uses a lot of strings and keyboard sounds – things I’m not used to. But I left much of the arranging to Alex. I worked on writing and re-writing songs.”

While he consciously stepped back in making Sunset Over Hope Street, Hest admitted the making of this record tested his patience after the immediacy of his song-a-week project. “(Sunset) was recorded over a year, in between breaks while both Alex and myself were on tour,” Hest explained. “It was a long time in the making, with a lot of time to listen back to what we had done so far. I started to get slightly impatient, because the songs were done but not finished.”

Patience is a theme throughout the album, although, Hest explained, in a more personal sense. “(The title track) is essentially about being patient waiting for something new to come along when you’re just getting out of something, and also feeling happy for the other person as they move on and you try to move on,” he said.

The job, now that the album is complete and

tour forthcoming, was to “recreate the album with new arrangements for two people,” Hest said, explaining that, for this tour, he’s bringing along a drummer and that’s all.

“The songs stand on their own,” Hest said.

“They started out this way, so they don’t require a band.”

The Columbus date is early in the tour. Hest said he’s looking forward to playing these new songs for audiences.

“I hope everything resonates with people in some way,” he said, sounding like a person who cares about the songs the way every good songwriter should.

Pickerington pizza shop is a real heavyweight champ The reputation of Catalfino’s pizza precedes it. For over a decade, Catalfino’s took first or second place in the Slice of Columbus competition. It scored several consecutive second places in the North American Pizza and Ice Cream Show. And Catalfino’s landed in the top 10 of the American Pizza Championship.

Catalfino’s business also has a storied past going back to the mid-1970s. That was when the family that still owns and operates Catalfino’s co-opened their first one-oven, two-table shop on the East Side of Columbus.

Decades of success, change, expansions and relocations eventually brought Catalfino’s to its newest spot in Pickerington a couple of years ago.

This latest incarnation is a big and bright, nice but casual restaurant with a decidedly sporty at-

Largely full of happy families, Catalfino’s also has a fully stocked bar detailed with a crazy parade of flattened beer caps.

A crazy parade of “Man vs.

Food”-type munchies can adorn Catalfino’s pizzas, salads, sandwiches and starters if you so desire. I so desired.

That’s why I picked the funky Fagiolo Fries appetizer ($6). It was a big pile of “krinkle” cutters doused in a nice, black-pep-

pery homemade pasta and bean soup topped with melted provolone. Yeah, it sounds odd, but really it’s not far from chili cheese fries. Think of it as Italian-Amer-

ican poutine, if you want, but do think of it.

Also think of the Chicago Combo ($9), which the menu says is fully endorsed by The Fan’s Mike Ricordati. Here, a decent Italian beef sandwich increased its girth by the addition of a spicy sausage patty. Was it an authentic Windy City dish?

Not really. Did it’s blend of “jus” (I would have liked more), griddled roast beef, spicy sausage and giardiniera (hot pickled veggies) prove Ricordati knew what he was talking about (at least in this case)? You betcha.

Of course Catalfino’s topnotch pizzas are the stars. You can design your own, go with a traditional combo or pick one of the shop’s over-the-top specialties ($8.50 to $22). If you’re considering the latter, here are some uncommon things Catalfino’s

I’m generally not a fan of barbecue on pizza, but Catalfino’s Carolina pulled pork was a winner. I liked how its homemade

thick, tangy and smoky barbecue sauce complemented both the good meat and — wait for it — onion rings!

Also terrific was the wellnamed Champion (ricotta, bacon, sausage, ham, pepperoni and much more). Catalfino’s menu says this pie’s won more than 20 awards in competitions, and I could see — and taste! — why.

The menu also says The Fan’s Scott Torgerson declared the Spicy Italian “will be his final meal if he’s ever on Death Row.” After demolishing that irresistible grease bomb (killer spicy marinara plus double meats and cheeses), Death Row seemed almost redundant.

Warma for the shawarma: Spit-roasted meats gaining popularity Behold the vertical rotisserie, a magnificent machine that is being used by a growing number of ethnic restaurants in Columbus.

Spit-roasted options are the signature dishes at such newcomers as Lavash, Pita Hut, Los Guachos and Lashish, the Greek.

The electric broiler rotates a composite of meat in front of bright-orange heating lamps, which melt away fat and leave the outside golden brown and glistening with moisture. The outer shell is then sliced off per order, and often placed in a pita or is part of a larger plate ensemble.

Most everyone is at least familiar with the gyro, brown cuts of herb-flecked meat cut from the large, twirling cylinder, and garnished with shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes and tzatziki inside a soft pita.

While not new, a different brand of twirling, carnivorous delight is tempting local diners: the shawarma. Several local restaurants offer their own variations.

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Lufti Ayoub, owner of the Pita Hut, cuts the shawarma on Feb. 26. The Pita Hut’s shawarma is seasoned with spices imported from Jerusalem.

Pita Hut in Clintonville has a Jerusalem-style, “As the ethnic population increases, these restauusing alternating layers of dark-meat turkey and rants will remain popular,” he said. lamb. Owner Lutfi Ayoub said the seasoning is Latif said the competition is good, opening up key to the alluring, complex flavor. He uses a blend diners to different cuisines and their spit-roasted of 10 herbs and spices, ground fresh in Israel and dishes. shipped to Columbus. He said he dry-rubs the “Bottom line: the customer wins,” he said. pieces of meat and marinates them, usually overnight, before placing them on the skewer for cooking.

The place offers nine condiments, from hummus to cucumbers, for added flavor.

“That’s the important part, always,” he said.

The sauce also is a big part of the equation, says Recipe of the week Nasir Latif, owner of Lavash, also in Clintonville.

He offers a simple but bold garlic sauce for his two shawarma options: a Lebanese-style using lamb and beef and a chicken selection.

Latif said big beehive-shaped columns of meat pirouetting behind the counter help draw in customers.

“It looks good,” he said. “It tastes good.”

Shish Kebab Mediterranean Café and Café Istanbul use the rotisserie to make doner, the Turkish equivalent of gyro.

Ilyas Batuk, chef and partner of Shish Kebab on Bethel Road, said the secret to excellent doner is using a good fat ratio – 25 percent – and forcefully compressing the ground beef and lamb mixture on the spit, which gives it a fine texture.

“If you don’t have the fat, it’s no good,” he said.

Customers seem to agree, as the doner is one of the top sellers in the restaurant.

He makes 80 pounds each Friday and Saturday and another 50 pounds on Sunday, with smaller amounts during the rest of the week.

Tax Series Taxpayer advocacy panel members selected WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced the selection of 32 new members to serve on the nationwide Taxpayer Advocacy Panel. The TAP is a federal advisory committee charged with providing direct taxpayer feedback to the IRS. The new TAP members will join 70 returning members to round out the panel of 102 volunteers for 2011. The new members were selected from more than 500 interested individuals from all over the country who applied during an open recruitment period last spring and include Mark Marshalek of Powell.

“TAP members represent the nation’s taxpayers, both in what they want and what they need,” said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. “They provide the IRS with invaluable insights to ensure that the taxpaying public has a voice in the tax administration process.”

The TAP listens to taxpayers, identifies issues and makes suggestions for improving IRS service and customer satisfaction. Oversight and program support for the TAP are provided by the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent organization within the IRS that helps resolve taxpayer problems and make recommendations to avoid future problems.

“It is extremely important that the IRS consider the needs and preferences of America’s taxpayers,” said Nina E. Olson, National Taxpayer Advocate. “The vital work of these citizen volunteers helps the IRS provide all taxpayers with the top quality service they deserve.”

TAP members are U.S. citizens who volunteer to serve a three-year appointment and are expected to devote 300 to 500 hours per year to panel activities. TAP members are demographically and geographically diverse, providing balanced representation from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Taxpayers can contact the TAP representative for their geographic area by calling (888) 912-1227 (a toll-free call) or via the Internet at www.improveirs.org. Taxpayers can also send written correspondence to the TAP at the following address: Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP), TA: TAP, Room 1314, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20224.

Individuals interested in volunteering to serve on the TAP for 2012 may submit an application via the website www.improveirs.org during the next open recruiting period, which will begin in this month.
