20,000 expected to watch St. Paddy’s parade

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 12 with 20,000 of its closest friends.

The annual St. Patrick’s Day parade will step off from Metro Place at 11 a.m. March 12 with about 100 units traversing the mile-long route in about 90 minutes.

Dublin expects about 20,000 people to view the parade. The annual event recently drew attention from U.S. News and World Report as one of the top 10 St. Patrick’s Day celebrations across the nation.

“We get a lot of media exposure from the parade. A lot of people say, ‘What is Dublin doing for St. Patrick’s Day?’” said Mary Jo DiSalvo, a Dublin event administrator. “That’s why we get 20,000 people.”

The Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau received a notice from the national magazine about a month ago about a search for St. Patrick’s Day festivities, executive director Scott Dring said.

“We sent them some information and pitched Dublin as a great location for St. Patrick’s Day,” he said.

Blarney DISTRICT DISAPPOINTMENT Hop to offer games, fundraising kickoff

Despite previous announcements to the contrary, the Dublin Relay For Life kickoff is set to follow Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day parade March 12.

The event that raises money for the American Cancer Society will be shifted to the east this year as the Blarney Hop moves to La Scala Italian Bistro, 4199 W. Dublin-Granville Road.

The Blarney Hop, which will run from noon to 4 p.m. March 12, won’t have to depend on good weather.

“The first positive thing is La Scala has offered to let us use their banquet room inside,” said Dublin Relay For Life chair Tim Gaffney. “Last year it got rained out, but we’ll be in the banquet facility and won’t have to worry about weather.”

The Blarney Hop was previously held at the Shoppes at River Ridge, but the development is currently in receivership so a new home for the event had to be found.

“It’s been a very positive day with La Scala providing a facility and helping to make this possible,” Gaffney said last week.

The fundraiser will have familyfriendly activities so Dublin parade attendees can continue their day at the Blarney Hop. “There will be numerous games from teams of the relay,” Gaffney said.

“We’ll be doing fundraising events.

There will be arts and crafts for kids, face painting, a cake walk (and) bake sales. We hope to have a magician there.”

Dublin plans to contribute $250,000 to the Presidents Cup, which will be played at the Muirfield Village Golf Club Sept. 30-Oct. 6, 2013.

In a straw vote last week, Dublin City Council members agreed to requests made by Dan Sullivan, executive director of the Muirfield Tournament, including a financial contribution of $250,000 over the next three years, city services of $100,000 and marketing and promotion support.

“One of the things that are very interesting in regards to the amount of visitors that come in for this event is the fact that a lot of dignitaries come from around the world for this,” city manager Marsha Grigsby said, during council’s discussion on the request. “This is a great opportunity for the city to be involved.”

Sullivan’s request penned in a late February letter to Mayor Tim Lecklider includes a commitment of $25,000 in 2011, $100,000 in 2012 and $125,000 in 2013. The city was also asked to provide police, traffic and parking support, signs and other city assistance to the tune of $100,000 in 2013.

The Presidents Cup also requested media promotion in news releases, letters, on signs and online.

Lecklider said he and council member Richard Gerber got a presentation from Sullivan on all the city would receive for its contributions to the event.

“This is very prestigious and the opportunity it presents to Dublin, we couldn’t purchase this kind of advertising for the financial contribution they’re asking us to make,” he said.

Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher also voiced her support.

“The Presidents Cup is one of the most prestigious things in golf that you can have come to you community,” she said. “It’s just phenomenal. It was a dream of Jack Nicklaus to have all these events come to Dublin… I know it’s a lot of money, but it’s a tremenSee SUPPORT, page A2

Dublin seniors will get a crack at Digital Engineering, Ohio State University Calculus and other courses this fall.

Through a $63,500 grant from the group that manages Metro High School, Dublin City Schools will begin offering a yearlong Engineering Academy at Coffman High School for seniors in the 2011-12 school year.

Dublin City Schools was one of five schools to snag an “Innovations in STEM” grant from Metro Management Group, the handlers of Metro Early College High School.

“The goal of the grants is to increase districts’ capacity to implement and accelerate STEM programming throughout Franklin County, in partnership with Metro,” Ohio STEM Learning Network Principal-in-Residence Marcy Raymond said. “The grants also are a nexus of OSLN’s goal to expand STEM education throughout the state and Metro’s mission to support local districts in their efforts to increase STEM curricula.”

STEM subjects – science, technology, engineering and math – have drawn interest from some Dublin students.

St. Patrick’s Day parade expected to draw 20,000 Continued from page A1 The pitch earned Dublin sixth place.

The parade dubbed “the greenest and the grandest” by Dublin will include marching bands from Dublin’s three high schools, Cap City Pipes and Drums, horses, balloons, Irish dancers and a lot of other green entries.

Pat Shinnick, a bus driver for Dublin City Schools, will be in the parade with a school bus, decorated appropriately.

“Dublin schools are a big part of the community and we transport those young ones,” she said.

Shinnick and about 10 others from the district’s transportation department will volunteer their time and money to decorate the bus and travel the parade route.

“I truly enjoy it because I love to see the faces of people,” she said. “I’m a people and kids person anyway. I just like to see people happy and hand out literature to them and tell them what we’re about.”

Dublin City School employees aren’t the only volunteers at the parade. The city depends upon volunteers for jobs including handling balloons, manning information tents and walking the parade route.

Anyone interested in volunteering for the parade

can call Judy Godsey at (614) 410-4404 or email jgodsey@dublin.oh.us.

The mile-long route that begins at Metro Place travels north on Frantz Road to Bridge Street, where it heads east to Historic Dublin could get crowded with 20,000 expected.

DiSalvo recommended people get there early to secure a spot along the parade route.

But earlier arrivers won’t be alone. The Irish rock band, the Hooligans, will start playing at 10 a.m. on the lawn of Indian Run Elementary School, 80 W. Bridge St. Some other pre-parade entertainment will be offered in the parking lot of Crowne Plaza. The Inflation Celebration will begin at 8:30 a.m., showing the public how parade balloons get off the ground.

“There’s a lot more to it than anyone has ever known,” DiSalvo said.

La Scala will host the Blarney Hop across the river following the parade from noon to 4 p.m. The event is a fundraiser and kickoff for the Dublin Relay for life.

Historic Dublin businesses will also offer goodies on March 12. Java Jan, Our Cupcakery, Real Living HER, The Sisters Sweet Shoppe and Starbucks have specials and freebies lined up for the celebration.

“It’s a great opportunity for the city,” Michael Keenan agreed.

“The economic development that this would create far outweighs any expenditure.”

For its contribution, Dublin will receive an invitation to the official party of the 2011 Presidents Cup in Melbourne, Australia, inclusion in 2013 Presidents Cup events and functions, use of a villa for entertainment and business, tickets, parking passes and an agreement to “position Dublin as the destination for attending spectators,” the letter said.

The Presidents Cup is expected to bring more than 150,000 golf fans, 600 national and international media representatives, 10,000 to 12,000 room nights and about $50-million in economic impact.

The golf tournament that pits 12 U.S. golfers against a team of 12 international golfers will also be broadcast to 200 countries and is expected to be viewed in 600 million households over four days.

“Dublin, Ohio, will be known all across the world and will be televised across the world,” Gerber said.

Council members also agreed to a $15,000 sponsorship for the Legends Luncheon, which will be held April 18 at the Ohio Statehouse by Nicklaus and 2011 Memorial honoree Nancy Lopez.

Proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the Nicklaus Children’s Healthcare Foundation, the staff report to council said.

Grigsby said the $15,000 sponsorship could possibly be funded through the community relations budget. She said the city will move forward with the luncheon and Presidents Cup commitments. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Texting-while-driving law coming March 16 One of the goals for the Dublin Division of Police in 2011 is to reduce traffic crashes in our city.

We work to address this problem using a threepronged approach: 1) Traffic enforcement 2) Traffic crash-prevention efforts 3) Education The strategies and tactics we employ in our traffic enforcement efforts are directed towards violations that are the primary causes for crashes as well as enforcement in “hot spot” areas where the most crashes occur. In addition, we contribute ideas and crash data to our city’s traffic engineers to help develop methods for preventing crashes before they happen. Finally, a third part of our strategy for reducing crashes is to educate the public about high-risk driving behavior.

You may know that the city amended our ordinance on distracted driving to include a subsection that prohibits “sending, reading, or writing a text message or accessing the Internet while driving.”

According to 2009 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Statistics, distracted driving was listed as a causative factor in 16 percent of all fatal traffic crashes in the U.S., and 20 percent of all injury crashes. Of those people injured in distracted driving crashes in 2009, 24,000 were distracted by using a handheld mobile communication device.

The newly amended distracted driving ordinance in Dublin prohibits operators of any motor vehicle from using a mobile communication device for texting, reading texts, sending or reading instant messages or e-mails, playing games or interacting with

the Internet. A violation of the new ordinance is a fourth degree misdemeanor, and is a primary offense, meaning police can pull over a motorist for an observed violation of the law. The amendments to the ordinance are in addition HEINZ VON to a law that already requires ECKARTSBERG motorists provide their “full time attention” to driving.

The new law goes into effect on March 16. The police will work with the city to help educate our motoring public about the new law and about the dangers of distracted driving, and, in particular, texting while driving.

We ask that everyone please take a moment, before you get behind the wheel, to shut off your handheld device, remove all distractions, and give your full attention to operating your car, truck, or motorcycle. Driving can be something we all take for granted, but it is also a dangerous undertaking.

Please take the time to help keep the roads safer in Dublin for everyone.

Additional information on the dangers of texting while driving can be found on the Dublin Cares website at http://dublinohiocares.me.

Remember: Call 9-1-1 immediately to stop a crime, report a fire or save a life. To report a crime that has already occurred, suspicious activity or any other non-emergency situation, please contact the Dublin police at (614) 889-1112.

Heinz von Eckartsberg is the interim chief of police for Dublin.

Superintendent’s column

Face time with students provides good information Some of the best information I receive each year is through faceto-face conversation with our students. About six times per year, I meet with members of the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee, which consists of 24 students (two from each grade level) from our three high schools, and 12 students, one from each grade level, from each of our four middle schools.

In addition to the productive conversations about issues important to students, the groups also volunteer to take on a major fundraiser each year.

The students are hard at work planning the fourth annual districtwide dodgeball tournament to take place at 7 p.m. on April 1 at Dublin Scioto. The event is open to the public. Tickets are $5, but we will certainly accept any additional donations for our designated causes: Jerome student Mark Burkholder, and the Memorial Scholarship funds of Lyndsey Rice and Kyle Colello, Scioto students who died in a tragic car accident in November 2009.

Burkholder is a standout sophomore at Dublin Jerome who suffered a devastating head injury in an accident this past fall. He continues to make a steady, but slow, recovery. His family has incurred large medical bills and it was the decision of my committee members that the Burkholder family receive a portion of the funds raised this year. Mark was recently released from Nationwide Children’s Hospital, and has received a warm welcome back to Dublin Jerome.

These student committees did a tremendous job identifying this year’s beneficiaries. We are pleased to be able to reach out to Mark and his family while continuing to support the Rices and Colellos.

We hope the entire community will turn out to support these efforts and for a night of friendly competition.

The students do the planning

for the tournament. They are responsible for organizing the brackets, setting the rules, insuring all logistics are in DAVID place, and keeping the AXNER large event moving throughout the evening.

Last year’s tournament featured about 60 dodgeball teams and we are hopeful we will have a similar number this year.

The entrance fee is $25 per team, but the Central Office/Board of Education team will be donating more to benefit Mark’s family and the scholarship funds. The Central Office/Board team challenges all adult staff teams to also donate beyond the $25 entrance fee.

Teams consist of 6-10 players, with six players on the court at one time. The tournament will be a single elimination competition and consist of five divisions. They are: elementary, middle school, high school girls, high school boys,

and adults. We are accepting entries of one student team per elementary school, and two student teams per middle school. Boys and girls may play on the same team. A maximum of four girls teams and four boys teams from each high school may also enter the tournament.

The winning teams will be awarded the Dublin City Schools Dodgeball Champion trophy that currently resides at the home schools of last year’s champions.

Last year’s event raised nearly $14,000 for the memorial scholarship funds and we hope this year’s tournament will be just as successful.

Team entries are still being accepted in all of the divisions; encourage your school to participate.

And please consider coming out the evening of April 1 to support your school’s staff and students as they raise funds for these worthy causes.

For additional information on the tournament, call 760-4362.

City briefs State-of-city address slated for March 14 Dublin’s annual state-of-the-city address will be held March 14 at Dublin Coffman High School, 6780 Coffman Road.

The annual address this year will be focused on at the entire community as Dublin City Schools and Washington Township join in.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase Dublin since the city and the

schools are so intertwined,” city manager Marsha Grigsby said in a news release. “The success of both of us is dependent on each other.”

The evening will begin at 5 p.m. with a community showcase that will feature booths and displays on programs, initiatives and technology from the city, school district and township.

The state of the city will begin at 5:45 with a performance that will include Karrer Middle School students,

Ladies of Longford member Hilda Doyle, Lone Raven member Craig Markley and Irish dancers Lyndsey Faherty and Brian Gibson.

Mayor Tim Lecklider, school board president Lynn May and Superintendent David Axner will provide comments before Grigsby gives the state of the city address.

The event is free and open to the public.

Glacier Ridge Elementary gets the beat with artist visit Continued from page A3 series of rhythms and each rhythm becomes more and more complex. It’s counting at a kindergarten level, but it becomes more complicated really trying to think through the number system,” Borden said. “In the rhythmic pieces there is a steady pulse. (The students) have to internalize the numbers and the beat and that is a mental exercise.”

Students learned the rhythms on rhythm sticks and drums they crafted and decorated.

Materials for the drums were already cut to size and slightly pre-assembled before the students got

their hands on them, Borden said.

“They created art on and around the drums. They drew expressions of who they are,” Borden said.

The rhythm sticks, which are “basically sticks you use to click together,” Borden said, were also decorated.

All Glacier Ridge students had at least one class with Harris to learn to use them, and others got more time with the artist, especially fifth-graders.

According to Borden, the fifth-graders learned about polyrhythm.

“Students came up with their own solos in small groups,” she said. “It’s just been amazing to see

how these students have stepped up… It’s that inspiration of the moment thing. It’s been amazing to watch them work with (Harris) and come up with ideas.”

Harris’ visit ended on March 4 when all Glacier Ridge students got to show off what they learned at an assembly. Harris directed the students in different rhythms and as they worked through the grade levels.

“Every child in the school will get to participate in the assembly,” Borden said. “It’s a great opportunity for our school to get together and unify. The assembly will be a strong statement

about energy and purpose.”

It also got students excited and learning through a new method.

“We are so fortunate in the Dublin community that the community is so supportive of the arts and we are able to provide our students with such a unique experience,” Borden said. “It’s priceless and so wonderful to be part of a community that recognizes that.”

The week-long artist in residency was funded through the Glacier Ridge PTO. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

City extends ‘Choose Your Ride’ campaign

By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Some Dublin pubs and restaurants will continue offering vouchers for cab fare to patrons who need a safe ride home.

The Dublin Police Department partnered with a few local businesses around the holidays to offer cab fare vouchers to those who may have gotten a little too jolly. Last week, Dublin City Council proclaimed March as “Safe Ride”

month and announced a partnership with Franklin County Safe Communities to continue the program.

“I’d really like to thank Central Ohio Safe Ride for partnering with us on this initiative. This is really a continuation of the ‘choose your ride’ campaign,” interim police chief Heinz von Eckartsberg said last week. “It’s enabling us to keep this initiative going forward and providing these taxi cab vouchers to establishments in Dublin.”

The Central Ohio Safe Ride program

provides $10 vouchers for cab fare and is funded by sponsorships from distributing companies and contributions from restaurants, bars and taxi cab companies, a release from Dublin said.

Dublin establishments received 30 complimentary vouchers for joining the program.

According to the Safe Ride website, businesses must pay $50 to join the program and can purchase vouchers for $10. Safe Ride will provide 10 free vouchers for every 20 purchased.

Patrick Byrne, owner of Byrne’s Pub in the Grandview area, said the program started around St. Patrick’s Day in 2009.

“We’re up to 17 establishments participating,” he told Dublin City Council members last week. “We’re very pleased with the cooperation in Dublin.”

According to Linda Tvorik, of Columbus Public Health, 388 vouchers were handed out through the program last year. Dublin’s participation in the program “more than doubles” the number involved, she said.

The program most of all is about giving people a safe ride home, especially around holidays like St. Patrick’s Day, Tvorik said.

Last year, there were 191 OVI arrests in Dublin and in 2009 there were 124, according to information from the city.

Dublin establishments involved in the Safe Ride program are: Brazenhead Irish Pub, Cabo Cocina, Dublin Village Tavern, Mary Kelley’s Restaurant & Pub, Oscar’s, Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern and Tutto Vino.

Grant funds engineering academy for Dublin seniors Continued from page A1 “We’re very excited about the program,” said Eydie Schilling, executive director of learning and teaching for the district. “We have 28 percent of students that took the ACT said they were interested in an engineering-related field.

We’re anticipating a lot of interest in this academy.”

Dublin high schools currently offer some applied science coursework, which includes an introduction to engineering, but Schilling said the new Engineering Academy will offer much more.

Seniors who participate in the

year-long academy will have three periods at the end of the day devoted to engineering.

“We’ll take those three periods and divide it into a trimester system and that’s how we’re able to get 15 credits through OSU and three high school credits,” Schilling said.

Through the Engineering Academy students can take OSU courses Calculus 151, Calculus 152 and Engineering 181. The program will also offer Principles of Engineering and Digital Engineering, which were developed by the nonprofit science and technology education group, Project Lead the Way. The coursework

will also include a senior capstone project.

The $63,500 grant will cover start-up costs for the program, including training for Coffman teacher Greg King, who will teach the program with a Metro High School teacher.

“This is a startup grant through the Metro Management Group that will cover the majority of the costs to start the program and through a partnership with Metro we’re able to share costs so we’re able to begin this academy,” Schilling said.

The partnership will have Dublin and Metro high school students attending the Engineer-

ing Academy at Coffman High School together.

“Each high school will have five seats. … There will be 15 Dublin students and the remainder is Metro students,” Schilling said of the program that will enroll 26 to 28 seniors.

Students will have to face tough requirements to get into the class.

According to Schilling students must meet requirements OSU has for its three classes, be in the top 15 percent of their class, have a 25 or higher composite score on the ACT and have completed precalculus.

“In addition to that internal application, we’ll also have them

Arnold brings contest, film opportunity Continued from page A1 “It was about how he got into skateboarding and how it’s different from other sports,” he said. “And why it’s important to him.”

Senior Colin Best had to deal with deadlines for the contest and the sport for his film on a Scioto hockey player.

The video was due when the hockey season started, but after about three weeks of work the video was completed for the film contest.

“It took a long time to get a game on film,” he said. “It was hard for us.”

Like many other students, junior Gabby Robinson had to put in lots of time to complete her video on a dancer who attends an Olentangy high school.

“It was difficult because I had to get it outside of school. She goes to Olentangy Orange High School,” she said.

But time paid off and four videos qualified to be shown at the film contest on

March 4.

“They did a great job,” Dale-Press said.

“Looking at our entries compared to the others, I think they did a great job.”

While not all the students were able to attend the film contest, which wrapped up with an awards ceremony on March 6, they did get a chance to wield a camera at the Arnold Fitness Expo.

“It was fun. I learned a lot from watching the other videographers,” senior Steven Richardson said. “We learned how to film in different styles, different shot types…

It showed us a new way to look at how to film a subject.”

Students also got to experience realworld obstacles to filming.

Sophomore Bryant Tela said he didn’t get the shots he wanted while filming the amateur strongman contest despite a media pass.

“I wasn’t allowed to get as close as I wanted to,” he said of the large event that has contestants carrying 950 pounds 60 meters,

REGISTER ANYTIME!

among other feats. “It was interesting.”

While students learned about the constraints sometimes pressed upon videographers, they also learned to think on their feet.

“A lot of it is fast, whereas in school we have time to plan,” said senior Johvonty Stewart. “We didn’t have time to be slow.”

“You really had to think on the fly,” Richardson agreed.

The footage shot at last week’s Arnold will be sent to organizers and students will also form their own videos.

Robinson said she’s not sure what she’ll do with the video she shot at the fitness expo that includes interviews with parents and coaches. But she was thrilled with one person she saw, even if there was no film involved.

“It got to see Arnold on Sunday. I touched his arm,” she said. “It was neat to see him as a natural, regular person.” jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

explain why they’re interested in the academy,” Schilling said.

The grant will also see engineering skills applied. Schilling said a portion of the grant will go to Dublin’s Robotics program.

“The digital electronics course contains a lot of robotics. Dublin has a strong robotics club at the high school level as well as Lego Leagues at the elementary and middle school level,” she said.

“The funds would help support

some of the robotics competitions.

We anticipate many of the students in the (Engineering) Academy will also be participants in the robotics club. It provides another application for what they’re learning in the coursework.”

An informational meeting for students and parents will be held at 7 p.m. March 29 at Coffman High School, 6780 Coffman Road. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Preparation for college begins early for students of Dublin City Schools.

Two tests given to Dublin eighth-graders and sophomores help them prepare for college, and recently released scores show increases across the board for both grade levels.

According to Jamie Meade, director of data and assessment, all eighth-graders take the EXPLORE test and all sophomores take the PLAN; both tests are preparation for the ACT. “They are ACT college-readiness benchmarks. (The) eighthgrade test is really the baseline,” she said. “It informs us on high school course work and scheduling. It’s an early indicator of college readiness.”

College readiness, Meade said, is figured using regression data. The ACT looks at college students receiving A’s and B’s in their freshman year and looks back at scores they received on PLAN and EXPLORE tests.

Scores of Dublin students show they’re on their way.

While eighth-graders improved across the board on the EXPLORE test, they also scored at least two points above the national average on every test.

In English, Dublin students

national average in math is 15.1, but Dublin students scored an average of 18.7. Dublin students soared above the national average of 13.8 in reading with 17.3, and in science scored three points above the national average of 15.9.

The national average composite score for the test is 14.9 and Dublin students averaged 18.1.

On the PLAN test, Dublin’s average scores were the highest ever, besting national averages and previous scores. The national average composite score is 17.5 and Dublin students averaged 20.7.

In math Dublin students averaged a 22.1, compared to the national average of 17.4. In reading Dublin students scored three points higher than the national average of 16.9. In science Dublin sophomores scored an average 21.1 compared to the national average of 18.2, and in English, Dublin beat out the national average of 16.9 with 19.1.

Meade credited students and teachers with the increase in scores.

“Part of that I’d attribute to teachers taking an intentional effort to make students understand the purpose of the test,” she said.

portant.

“We had a parent meeting last week. We walked them through score reports and did a (question-and-answer session) with parents,” Meade said. “Early awareness is key, so you don’t find out you’re not college-ready your senior year.”

While the test can give students a taste of how the ACT is set up and help prepare for college, it can also show students areas they need to improve in.

“I see (benefits) in several arenas. It yields (students) better opportunities to get into the college of their choice. Second is increased college scholarship opportunities,” Meade said.

“Being aware of your strengths and weaknesses … you know what you need to do to prepare and can take courses that will help you work on your areas of need.”

The test eighth-graders take also helps identify career possibilities by asking students about interests.

“Students can sharpen their goals around their ACT score to align that with their preferred career goals,” Meade said. “So there’s that career exploration piece.” jnoblit@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Great deals, healthy meals and Asian flavors at Poong Mei From its sign outside, Poong Mei — aka Spring of China — claims it’s a Chinese restaurant. And you do pass through a red-and-gold imperial-type “China gate”

by G.A. Benton portal to enter the place’s dining room.

But one gaze at Poong Mei’s menu or the food laid out on its busy tables (many is more Chinese than Japanese, neither filled with obvious regulars) informs you is the dominant ethnicity. Because while that while this self-described “Asian bistro” Poong Mei certainly has Chinese and Japanese appendages, its head, heart, body and soul are purely Korean.

Ambience-wise, Poong Mei is neither particularly distinguished nor bad looking. Lived-in but not dumpy, it’s got a sort of past-its-prime, small-town country club vibe. Likely its most standout features are a huge, sports-tuned projection TV and goofy, piped-in stringy music,

tracks of melodramatic ’70s movies. So the food’s the thing at Poong Mei — and fortunately, the food is very good.

A sensational shareable starter was an octet of obviously homemade Steamed Pork Buns ($8). Served on a steaming metal tray, they were beautiful snowwhite pillows with puffy, delicate, meltin-your-mouth textures and lovely, mildly fermented, sourdough-like flavors. Inside each was a wildly juicy scallionflecked clump of lusty, sausagey ground pork.

Also great was a more robust group meal-igniter which could equally serve as a large entree for a single diner — Seafood Noodle Soup ($10, comes with a fine array of “ban chan,” small plates).

In a super fragrant, medium spicy red broth were Poong Mei’s phenomenal housemade noodles (long, thin, silky and springy) plus bits of tender seafood-like green mussels, little shrimp, cuttlefish and octopus. A handful of veggies — like sweet carrots and earthy greens — rounded out the bowl’s happily married flavors.

4720 Reed Road, Upper Arlington 614-273-9998 Cuisine: Chinese and Asian Price: $ (up to $10 per person) Patio: No Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday The hits kept coming — as did the sweet deals and healthy meals — with the Cuddled Tofu Soup with Beef Short Rib ($12; I got the vegetarian version).

A bold, garlicky and mildly spicy chili broth held lots of wiggly bits of silky tofu plus veggies such as unmushy zucchini and cloud ear mushrooms. At the last second, a raw egg had been dropped into the gurgling hot broth — and I was amazed how much it enriched the soup when I broke the egg’s yolk and stirred it through the quick-cooking pot.

But wait, there was more! The supersatisfying, lean soup (which included ban chan) had a fatty accomplice in the form

of irresistible kalbi (three bone-in shortribs) slathered in a sweet, thick sort of barbecue sauce.

Poong Mei’s terrific housemade noodles were the basis for a dramatically allblack stir-fried Zhang Mun ($11). Looking like a dish of squid ink-sauced pasta but tasting like the marvelous (if a bit greasy) Asian stir-fry it really was, this nifty noodle-athon united pork, tiny shrimp, a lot of onions, veggies and assorted seafood bits in a salty fermented black bean sauce.

Whether it’s that Chinese-style dish, or a neat Chinese-Korean hybrid like Shredded Pork with Hot Pepper ($12) or a great, straight-up Korean Hot Stone BiBim-Bob ($10), Poong Mei does it well, inexpensively and with genuine flavors.

Factory worker returns to food industry After working factory jobs both in Delaware and in central Ohio, Anuson “Chris” Khumauksorn is once again pursuing his love of cooking and the restaurant business.

The Bangkok native has opened Taste of Thai in the Polaris area, replacing Ha Long Bay, a Vietnamese restaurant at 8489 Sancus Blvd. The menu offers a

w i d e range of Thai classics, from t o m yum soup to pad Thai to shredded papaya salad.

Most entrees are in the $9 to $11 range, with a few of the house specialties costing around $15.

Owning a restaurant — and

being its chef — isn’t exactly what Khumauksorn had in mind.

Sure, he helped his mother run a restaurant in his native Thailand, while also earning a bachelor’s degree in business management.

A cousin who owned a restaurant in Florida beckoned, so Khumauksorn and his family moved to the Sunshine State to help.

He removed himself from the restaurant industry for several years and moved to Ohio with his wife. Yet he longed to return to the business and staked out a location in the Polaris area, which currently has a lot of restaurants but no Thai.

The interior – and store sign – at Taste of Thai is bright yellow for a reason, as the color symbolizes warmth and cheerfulness, he said.

By Eric George/ThisWeek He said there’s still Taste of Thai owner Anuson “Chris” Khumauksorn prepares his pad Thai a learning curve for with rice noodles, shrimp, chicken, eggs, ground peanuts, beansprouts and some customers, who scallion in pad Thai sauce. tend to group all Asian

cuisines together. Or they have another stigma about Thai.

“People think of Thai food as spicy, hot,” he said. Therefore, he makes it clear that he will adjust the spice level to the diner’s preference.

For now, there is no alcohol, but Khumauksorn said he intends to apply for a license to sell wine and beer.

Taste of Thai is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-436-3735.

Fresh off the opening of the successful San-Su, Yun Hui “Yumi” Wada has another restaurant planned for Bethel Road.

Aoi, a Japanese restaurant, will take over the 5,000-square-foot building that once housed Einstein Bros. Bagels and Boston Market, 876-878 Bethel Road.

The menu will feature sushi, noodle dishes, tempura and the like.

It is expected to open in May. Meanwhile, Wada has leased SanSu, a Korean restaurant, to Jae Uk Jong. Wada is the founder of the two local Genji Japanese Steakhouses, among other enterprises.

In an economy that still struggles to gain traction, William Glover walks a fine line.

The chef and owner of Sage American Bistro in the University District must balance cost, quality and value.

“I think we’re as competitive as it gets in that regard,” said Glover, who is now a contributor to Food & Wine.

Part of the reason for his success, he said, is his staff. “I’ve got a great team,” he said.

Not to mention the effort and creativity that seem to go a long way toward customer satisfaction, he said.

His new spring menu will offer a scallop nestled in ginger aioli and crowned with red pepper marmalade, with a streak of balsamic reduction accenting the plate.

While seasons play an important part in the menu, whimsy is just as important, he said. Glover said if he’s inspired, he will change the menu more than four times a year. “I don’t like to draw lines in the sand,” he said.

Glover said he’s been somewhat restrained in pricing, never

charging more than $30 a plate at Sage, 2653 N. High St. Indeed, local sourcing is important, he said. And purveyors have gotten more savvy in that regard, not only carrying more regional ingredients, but showing chefs how to get them.

Libraries again offering help for job seekers ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Once again, the seven library systems in Franklin County are banding together to provide workforce training to central Ohioans.

Job Help Week, the fourth such program in three years, is scheduled March 14-18.

The theme is “Any Age, Any Stage,” meaning there will be specific programs for teens to senior citizens. The help is free and will deal with everything from building résumés to interviewing skills

to using social media websites.

All 21 branches of the Columbus Metropolitan Library system will provide programming throughout the week.

“Our goal for Job Help Week is to help make connections for our customers who use the library as part of their employment search,” said Steve Hipes, project manager for the library’s job help centers.

In 2010, the library system helped more than 43,000 people in its Job Help Week efforts, he said.

“It’s impressive because it shows the library keeps responding to the cus-

tomers’ needs,” Hipes said.

The Columbus library system is working with some new partners for the event, such as the Office of Continuing Education at The Ohio State University and the Center for Workforce Development at Columbus State Community College.

The new partners join long-term supporters, such as Employment for Seniors and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

“The library’s all about connecting people with information,” Hipes said.

“This is a great opportunity for us to

Program announced to help fund community gardens City and county officials last week announced creation of a fund to offer grants for community gardens.

Mayor Michael B. Coleman Councilmember Priscilla Tyson and Franklin County Commissioners Marilyn Brown, Paula Brooks and John O’Grady made the announcement in cooperation with the Foundation for Active Living at the Columbus Foundation.

“Recognizing the many benefits of community gardens, the grant fund will support existing gardens in the city of Columbus and throughout Franklin County and encourage the creation of new ones,” according to a statement released jointly by the mayor’s office, city council and that of the board of commissioners.

The press release touted the benefits of such projects, and said that the American Community Gardening Association reports that there are over 18,000 community gardens in the United States and Canada.

“By partnering with the county, we have leveraged our respective resources to create new gardens and strengthen existing ones,” Coleman was quoted as saying. “Community gardens benefit our health, our community and our environment, and they give neighbors a reason and a place to come together.”

“This grant fund will support and encourage community gardens in our local neighborhoods and foster an environment of healthy living for area children,” Commissioner Brown said in a statement. “We know that if families have access to grow their own fruits and vegetables at a low cost, they are more likely to put them on

their dinner table.”

“Franklin County is filled with individuals and organizations that are putting their shovels in the ground and producing nutritious food,” Brooks added.

“Community gardens help create strong communities and connect people to their food supply,” was O’Grady’s comment.

“Community gardens promote healthy lifestyles by providing fresh food for families, encourage engagement among residents of all ages, create green jobs in an improving economy and increase the overall pride in a neighborhood,” Tyson was quoted as saying.

To qualify for the grant, the applicant must meet requirements such as a registered 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and be located within the city of Columbus or qualifying areas of Franklin County. Grant awards will be made up to $4,000 for each project for supplies and/or services.

Scott’s Miracle-Gro will supplement grant awards with product donations.

Grant applicants must access the grant application on the Columbus Foundation website at www.columbusfoundation.org.

The application can be found under Columbus Foundation Grants, Fund for Targeted Needs, in the Neighborhood Grants and Community Gardens section.

The grant applications are due by Friday, April 1.

Winners will be announced at the Earth Day celebration at Franklin Park Conservatory on April 23.

FIRST Lego robotics team Moderately Confused members are: (front row, left) Jacob Hoylman, Rahul Mal, Erin Bryden; (back row)Arjun Kumar, Keith Johnson, David Feng, Manu Singhal, Edward Glaubits, Leah Behr and Ananya Rajagopal.

Sells robotics team invited to world event The Sells Middle School FIRST Lego robotics league team, Moderately Confused, will head to St. Louis in late April.

Coach Cindy Bryden said she received word from the state level that the team was chosen from a lottery to attend the FLL World Festival, which is a culmination for the FIRST Lego League season.

Moderately Confused was

nominated to go to the World Festival after being awarded the “Ohio Ambassador’s Award” at state competitions.

Regions are selected by lottery to send their first-place Champion’s Award-winning team to the World Festival, she said.

Teams can also be nominated that fit the FLL’s Core Values.

The Moderately Confused team of Erin Bryden, Leah Behr, Ananya Rajagopal, Arjun Kumar, Jacob Hoylman, Manu Singhal,

Wrestling

Coffman’s Murdock places sixth at state

By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ryan Murdock of the Dublin Coffman High School wrestling team has heard numerous times about the importance of winning the close matches in the postseason.

During the Division I state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State, the junior endured three overtime matches on his way to a sixthplace finish at 112 pounds.

Of the five Dublin competitors, Murdock was the only one to reach the awards podium. He went 3-3 and finished 44-5.

Coffman junior Chris Mullucey (103, 38-10) went 1-2 and Coffman senior Matt Muncrief (171, 31-11), Jerome senior Casey Nicholson (130, 35-8) and Scioto junior Wesley King (215, 37-13) each went 0-2.

Murdock lost his first match but won his next three to secure a spot on the podium.

“I had high hopes for the tournament. But after I lost that first match, it just kind of screwed with my head,” said Murdock, who placed fifth at state last season at 103. “All my coaches just kept telling me that true character shows after losses.”

In the opening match, Murdock went up against Olmsted Falls’ Chase DuPratt, who won 6-4 following two 30-second tiebreakers. Murdock was called for stalling four times, which ultimately cost him the match.

“He didn’t score any offensive points on me,” Murdock said. “It was a tough match and I shouldn’t have put myself in that position, where the refs had to decide the match.”

Murdock defeated Kettering Fairmont’s Justin Kihn 4-2 in overtime, Wadsworth’s Brandon Jones 6-1 and Mason’s Brian Luria 8-1 in the next three matches before losing to the eventual third-place finisher, Massillon

Washington’s Ivan McClay, 4-1 in overtime.

Murdock then lost to Massillon Perry’s Artem Timchenko 41 in the fifth-place match.

Mullucey, making his first state appearance, lost to Solon’s Brandon Thompson 4-1 in his opening match. He then defeated Fairfield’s Greysun Barden 5-2 before losing to Cleveland St. Ignatius’ Tommy Zeigler 5-1.

Muncrief was pinned by the eventual runner-up, Cincinnati Elder’s Ian Korb, in 2 minutes, 48 seconds in the first round. He then was pinned by Chardon’s Matthew O’Hara in 2:58.

King faced defending state champion Nick Tavanello of Wadsworth in the opening round and was pinned in 1:20. Tavanello went on to defend his title.

King then lost to Cincinnati Oak Hills’ Logan Andriot 7-1.

Brader to take over at Jerome

Celtics fall short of state berth

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Dublin Jerome High School hockey coach Pat Murphy felt good about his team’s chances of beating Olentangy Liberty in a district final on March 5 at the Dispatch Ice Haus, even after the Celtics entered the third period with a one-goal deficit.

Murphy could sense that his top-seeded squad was wearing down the second-seeded Patriots, and he felt vindicated when sophomore forward Alex Cathis beat a Liberty defender and put a backhanded shot past goaltender Eddie Arcy to tie the game at 2 with 7 minutes, 2 seconds remaining.

Just as Murphy expected, the Celtics continued to have the better of play and

had quality scoring chances throughout the remainder of the third period and the eight-minute overtime.

But after Arcy made several sprawling saves to keep the score tied, the Patriots received a breather between the first and second overtimes while a Zamboni smoothed the ice back into playing condition.

Then, just 52 seconds into the sec-

ond overtime, Ethan Hollingsworth intercepted the puck behind Jerome’s goal and passed it to the top of the crease.

Marshall Oja tapped it past senior goaltender Josh Howell to give Liberty a 32 victory.

Liberty improved to 27-8-1, and Jerome finished 28-7-1.

O’Brien, Ruddle happy to end year at state

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After fracturing the tibia in her left leg at the Snowflake Invitational at Cincinnati Turpin on Dec. 18, Ellen O’Brien of the Dublin Coffman High School gymnastics team thought her opportunity to qualify for the state meet this season was gone.

That’s what made competing at the individual state meet March 5 at Hilliard Bradley so special for O’Brien. The junior placed 34th on uneven bars with 7.9 points behind champion Bridget Madel of Hudson (9.575).

“I’m just really proud that I made it here,” said O’Brien, who placed fourth (8.65) at the dis-

trict meet Feb. 26 at Worthington Kilbourne to qualify for state.

“I was glad I got a chance to compete at districts for the team. To make it to states was unbelievable.”

O’Brien’s success was part of what coach Julie Kayser called “The Comeback” season. The Shamrocks began the season without junior Katie Strand, who sustained an ACL tear in her left knee last year, and had three other gymnasts — O’Brien, senior Sam Strange (dislocated elbow) and Alenia Carpenter (sprained ankle) — miss significant time because of injury.

Yet, Coffman was competitive

By Laurie Stevenson/ThisWeek

Joshua Brader’s passion for soccer has helped him achieve success as a player and coach.

Now, the 1995 DeSales High School graduate will bring his love for the game to Dublin Jerome, where he recently was hired as girls soccer coach, pending school board approval.

Wanting to work closer to his home in Powell and church in Dublin, Brader resigned as coach of the DeSales girls soccer team Feb. 22 to accept the position at Jerome. Brader and his wife, Camille, have two children.

He replaces Chuck Crawford, who coached the Celtics last season but was not offered a contract for a second year.

As a player, Brader helped lead the DeSales boys soccer team to the Division II state title in 1992.

At Otterbein, he was the player of the year in the Ohio Athletic Conference in 1997 and 1998.

He had two stints as coach of the DeSales girls team — and won both times.

His first head coaching job was in 2002 at DeSales and he guided the Stallions to a state semifinal, where they lost to Cincinnati St. Ursula 1-0. That DeSales team featured Brader’s sister, Jenna, who earned firstteam all-state recognition as a midfielder.

After serving as an assistant girls soccer coach at Dublin Coffman in 2003 and head girls soccer coach at Olentangy in 2004 and 2005, Brader returned to DeSales in 2006. His teams won CCL titles in 2007, 2008 and 2010 and reached a Division I district final in 2009, falling to Upper Arlington 1-0.

“It’s bittersweet because you put your blood, sweat and tears in something for four years and then you’re leaving it to go somewhere else and try to grow that program and take it to new levels,” Brader said. “We are proud of that. I gave everything I had to that program for four years and I’m excited to do the same at Jerome.”

Last season, DeSales was 115-2 overall and tied Watterson for first (3-0-1) in the CCL. The Stallions lost to Pickerington Central 2-1 in overtime in the second round of the district tournament.

Courtney Klosterman, a sophomore center back whom Brader calls one of the top players in the district, was a key member of that team.

“He brought a really impor-

Commentary

Patriots reach final four in fourth varsity season Anthony Bergamesca clutched the district championship trophy tightly to his chest as he skated off the ice March 5 at the Dispatch Ice Haus. Moments earlier, the defenseman for the Olentangy Liberty High School hockey team nearly had fallen with the award.

Bergamesca is one of nine seniors for the Patriots, who defeated Dublin Jerome 3-2 in double overtime to earn the program’s first state tournament berth in only their fourth varsity season.

He and the other seniors — defensemen Keaton Allmaras, Robert Koehler and Alec Vidrick, forwards Mitch Helton, Mike Mullier, Jimmy Ruska and Grant Woods, and goaltender Bryan Finneran — helped lay the groundwork for the program three years ago as freshmen and their dedication has been re-

HOCKEY Continued from page C1 “Liberty didn’t play as many players as we did and we had them right where we wanted them in the third period and in the first overtime,” Murphy said.

“We had three or four good chances in the last five minutes of the third period and at least that many chances again in overtime, but we just didn’t take advantage of them.

“There’s no question they were running out of gas, and the ice cut came at the right time for them to give them a rest. They showed incredible heart and stamina to keep the game going into the second overtime, and we had a bad turnover behind our own net that really cost us.”

The loss ended the most successful district tournament run in Jerome’s history. The Celtics opened district play on Feb. 19 by pounding Watterson 11-1, before defeating Cincinnati Sycamore 6-1 on Feb. 26.

Jerome then beat fifth-seeded Cincinnati Moeller 1-0 in overtime in a semifinal on Feb. 27 to advance to a district final for the first time.

“I feel bad for our seniors because they really wanted to make it to the final four, but this was a successful season,” Murphy said. “We took a big step forward by making it this

The Patriots, who are 27-8-1, play t o p - r a n ke d Toledo St. Francis (32-4SCOTT 1) in a state HENNEN semifinal at noon Saturday, March 12, at Nationwide Arena. The state championship will be played at noon the following day.

“Yeah, I almost fell with (the trophy), but I wasn’t letting that happen,” Bergamesca said.

“We’ve gone through so much to get here.”

The Patriots lost several players to injury this season, including Helton to a knee injury in the preseason and Woods to

a shoulder injury in January.

More recently, junior forward Nick Ramsey was lost to a leg injury that required surgery and junior forward Reed Slinger was lost to a neck injury, which he sustained when his head struck the ice during a 5-0 win over Troy in the second round of the district tournament Feb. 20 at the Ice Haus.

“When Reed was injured, it affected all of us, watching him taken off the ice on a stretcher,” said Bergamesca, the team captain. “Reed has always been one of the players who was always there to pick us up on the ice and it really fired us up when he got hurt. We want to do well for Reed and everyone else who helped us get here but won’t be able to play.

We want to do well for them.”

“It sounds like a broken record, but the kids always come out and

play as hard as they can,” fourthyear coach Jack Hoogeveen said.

“The (district final) could have gone either way, and that showed because it went two overtimes.”

The school has had only one other team reach a state semifinal since opening in the fall of 2003. The boys lacrosse team made it to the Division II state final in 2006, losing to North Canton Hoover 15-8.

That occurred a year and a half before the hockey program’s first varsity season.

Assistant coach Nick Kormanyos knows what it takes to be a championship team after qualifying for the NCAA tournament as a player at Niagara (N.Y.) University in 2003-04 by winning a College Hockey America conference title. He then played for the Fayetteville (N.C.) Fireantz when they won

gave us a lot of adrenaline and kept us pumped up from the beginning.”

Ruska, an assistant captain, was wandering around the lobby of the Ice Haus with the district trophy clutched to his chest. Prying the award from him might not have been an easy task.

“It’s amazing what we have accomplished as a group,” Ruska said. “We went from nothing ... nothing ... and were able to make it (to) the final four in four seasons. It’s really incredible, and it’s only the start.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Celtics also won their first Capital Hockey Conference championship, tying Liberty with a 12-1 record and 24 points.

Jerome then went 1-1 in the Blue Jackets Cup, beating Olentangy 6-2 on Feb. 10 and losing to Coffman 2-1 in a semifinal on Feb. 11. The Celtics had won the Blue Jackets Cup four of the previous five seasons.

In the district final, sophomore forward Ethan Hollingsworth passed the puck to sophomore forward Marshall Oja, who scored 52 seconds into the second overtime to secure the final four berth.

Continued from page C1 tant competitiveness mentality that we couldn’t lose,” Klosterman said. “It was one of those things that was contagious and when he didn’t want to lose then nobody else wanted to lose, so we just did everything in our power to win all the time.”

Brader is inheriting an established program at Jerome, which last season went 10-6-3 overall and 5-2 in the OCC-Cardinal Division, tying Olentangy Liberty for second place behind Dublin Scioto (6-0-1).

The Celtics lost to Liberty 21 in a district semifinal.

“I’m excited,” said Brader, who met with his new team for the first time March 2. “I’m passionate about coaching, passionate about working with kids and trying to improve their life and confidence.”

Brader’s assistants at Jerome will include his sister and their father, Jeff.

“The Jerome girls soccer program is fortunate to have someone with coach Brader’s experience fill the head coaching position,” athletics director Nick Magistrale said.

DeSales athletics director Tom Neubert said he was surprised

by Brader’s resignation, but understood his reasons for leaving.

“We’re definitely disappointed,” Neubert said. “We’re losing an alum who has put in a lot of time here and really done some great things with the girls soccer program.”

Neubert, however, feels Brader’s successor will maintain the program’s standards.

“I’m pretty confident that between the administration and myself we will bring somebody in here that’s going to keep the program right where it is, if not continue to improve it,” he said. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Coffman teams falter in district semifinals

By THAD PLUMLEY ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Dublin Coffman High School boys and girls basketball teams both saw their seasons end in a Division I district semifinal.

The boys team lost to sixth-seeded Walnut Ridge 60-53 on March 5 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum to finish 18-4. Five days earlier, the girls team lost to second-seeded Northland 58-46 at Olentangy Liberty to finish 16-7.

The girls team hopes the postseason experience it gained this year pays dividends the next several seasons.

Seeded 11th, the Shamrocks opened the district tournament with a 51-46 victory over Lancaster on Feb. 16 and defeated Westerville North 65-49 on Feb. 23 before falling to Northland on Feb. 28.

“We had a chance to get a lot of girls experience in the regular season, but I thought it was important for us to win a few tournament games this year,” coach Bryan Patton said. “We needed to be in that situation where every game could be your last game and every possession is important. Even if the girls didn’t get to play, they got to see that and be in that atmosphere. That will be good for us.”

Last season, Coffman went 14-6 in the regular season but lost to Dublin Jerome 52-47 in its tournament opener. This year, the Shamrocks not only won a pair of postseason games, they hung with North-

land for more than two quarters.

Coffman led the Vikings 38-37 with 3 minutes, 11 seconds to play in the third quarter before Northland went on a 144 run.

“We learned a lot in the tournament this year,” sophomore forward McKenzie Bailey said. “We got our jitters out of the way in the first game and were able to play well after that. What everyone learned is how hard we’re going to have to work. We need to come in ready to practice next year.”

Coffman went 11-3 in the OCC-Central Division to finish second to Upper Arlington (13-1) for the second consecutive year. Hilliard Davidson (10-4) finished third, followed by Thomas Worthington (9-5), Worthington Kilbourne (5-9), Central Crossing (5-9), Hilliard Darby (3-11) and Westland (0-14).

The Shamrocks lose three seniors in center Meredith Stranges and guards Stacy Axner and Sarah McQuade. All three were starters who were all-league.

Stranges averaged a team-high 15.6 points and 8.1 rebounds and shot 50 percent from the field and 85 percent from the line. A four-year varsity player, she was first-team all-league and all-district.

McQuade averaged 7.2 points and a team-high 4.5 assists and was secondteam all-league, and Axner averaged 8.4 points and was honorable mention allleague. Axner scored a team-high 14 points against Northland.

“We learned our work ethic from the

seniors,” Bailey said.

“They were not only good players but are some of the best people I have met at Coffman. They were good role models for all of us.”

Among the expected returnees are two sophomore starters, Bailey and guard Bailey Wilson. Bailey averaging 11.1 points and a team-high 8.5 rebounds and was second-team all-league and honorable mention all-district.

She scored 24 points twice and 23 once, representing the three highest point totals by a Coffman player this season.

She also made 101 free throws, setting a program season record.

“Going into the year, I knew she was competitive and that she had a skill set that would play well off of (Stranges) down low,” Patton said. “I don’t know that I knew she would score as much as she did, but I knew she was going to fit in really well.”

Wilson averaged 4.2 points and was the team’s top defensive player on the perimeter.

Also expected to return are junior Dar-

ian Maynard (guard), sophomores Rylee Axner (guard), Grace Filler (guard), Shelby Saunders (guard), Kaylee Taylor (guard) and Quynh Vo (guard), and freshmen Samantha Edwards (guard), Amanda Stratton (forward) and Griffin Tullis (forward). Maynard, Filler, Vo and Edwards saw significant playing time.

“The group we have coming up is athletic, competitive and used to winning,” Patton said. “They may be nervous at the beginning of the season, but they’re going to be OK. I think we’ll be able to do some different things. I think we’ll be able to play nine or 10 girls and sub in three and four at a time. We couldn’t necessarily do that this year.

“After the (loss to Northland), I told the girls coming back, ‘It’s your turn now.’ That is the beauty of high school basketball - every team and every season is always new.”

•The boys team never seemed comfortable in the loss to Walnut Ridge.

“They defended really well,” coach Jamey Collins said of the Scots, who improved to 18-4 and advanced to play fourth-seeded Gahanna in a district final on Saturday, March 12, at the Fairgrounds.

“We never got into a good rhythm. We had a good second quarter, but we struggled the whole game. They played well and we never got going. You have got to give them credit.”

Seeded seventh, Coffman was striving for its ninth district final appearance in 11 years. The loss ended a streak of

eight consecutive district-semifinal victories for the Shamrocks, who also lost to the Scots 51-48 in overtime on Jan. 22.

The Scots’defensive pressure was the key in the rematch.

“The first game is probably the mostwatched (game) film ever,” Walnut Ridge coach Jason Bates said. “We wanted to get up and down the floor more this time.

I think we were still finding ourselves more the first game. We wanted the pace of this game high, so we kept attacking, attacking, attacking.”

Walnut Ridge raced out to 7-0 lead and led 18-11 after the first period and 20-11 less than a minute into the second.

However, the Shamrocks ended the second quarter on a 14-3 run to take a 2625 advantage into halftime.

Coffman began the third with an alleyoop dunk by Adam Hall off a pass from Zack Riddle to extend its lead to 28-25.

However, Scots scored the next eight points and went on a 17-6 run to open a 42-34 lead heading into the final period.

Coffman missed 10 consecutive shots after Hall’s dunk and made just three of 18 field goals in the third quarter.

The shooting woes continued in the fourth as the Shamrocks went 4-for-14 from the field. For the game, Coffman shot 29.6 percent (16 of 54).

Christian Heine had 20 points to lead the Shamrocks and Riddle scored 15. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Nicholson, a four-time district qualifier making his first state appearance, lost to Kettering Fairmont’s Matt Denlinger 9-3 and Oregon Clay’s Angelo Amenta 15-8. Amenta went on to place third.

“It was a great career he had, but his draw was really tough,” Jerome coach Adam Huddle said.

Continued from page C1 in the OCC-Ohio Division meet on Feb. 12 and the district meet. The Shamrocks finished fourth (2-3) in the OCC-Ohio during the regular season behind Thomas Worthington (5-0), Hilliard Darby (4-1) and Olentangy (3-2) and ahead of Grove City (1-4) and Upper Arlington (0-5), and placed third (130.2) at the league meet behind Thomas (133.575) and Olentangy (132.55) and ahead of Darby (129.6), Grove City (128.95) and UA (120.675).

At district, Coffman missed qualifying for state by .9 of a point, as it placed fourth (133.35) behind state qualifiers DeSales (136.85), Thomas (134.525) and Kilbourne (134.25).

“We had other girls step it up in their absence,” Kayser said. “We were almost back to full strength by districts. They really pulled it together.”

O’Brien competed for the first time on bars since her injury at the OCC meet, using a less-challenging routine because she wasn’t allowed to do her usual dismount.

“The hardest part for me was just trying to get back into things,” O’Brien said. “It was hard to get your strength back up and having to pull together a new bar routine after you’ve been out for three months.”

“She went into districts not expecting anything,” Kayser said. “She just wanted to be there to help the team. This is great experience for her for next year.”

The Shamrocks lose three seniors in Strange, Amelia Thomas and Julie Ziska.

All three were four-year letterwinners.

O’Brien is one of six juniors expected to return, joining Strand, Charli Carley, Tori Flynn, Lena Handy and Talia Tullis.

“All of those girls competed at the state team competition as freshmen,” Kayser said. “They know what it is like to be (at state) and they all want it. We hit every single event. You can’t do any better than that.”

Ruddle finished 36th in the all-around (32.225) and 33rd on bars (8.0) and floor exercise (8.15). In addition, she scored 8.4 on vault and 7.675 on balance beam.

“My parents always call me ‘Steady Betty,’” Ruddle said. “I work on these routines all the time in practice and my consistency really helps.”

“She might not have the hardest skills in her routines, but every skill she does, she does well,” first-year coach Kristen Willms said. “She’s consistent on everything. That’s what we’ve been hearing all year: ‘Wow, she’s so consistent.’”

At the OCC-Capital meet on Feb. 12, Ruddle won the all-around (33.025) after finishing first on floor (8.75) and beam (8.775), second on bars (8.25) and 11th on vault (7.95).

TOO YOUNG TO THINK ABOUT RETIREMENT? Regardless of whether you are saving for a down payment on your first home or paying down school loans, it pays to think long-term. If your employer offers a matching 401(k) contribution, you should think of it as a chance to take free money. Thus, if you can at all afford it, plan to contribute enough yourself to your retirement plan to capture the matching contribution from your employer. Think of it as a risk-free way to double your money. A good goal to shoot for involves saving 15% of your gross income (including the employer match). If left on your own without an employer match, start with a more modest savings schedule in an IRA or an employer-based plan.

Your saving strategies should change as you age. For example, a twenty-year-old may want to maximize investment to reap the benefits of time and compounding. A fifty-year-old may want to gradually begin shifting some money from stocks to fixed-income investments to help reduce risk. My retirement advice and consulting services include discovering and prioritizing each client’s needs and lifestyle goals, conducting mathematic analysis and forecasting, and recommending financially viable solution. Please call me at 614-734-8458 to schedule an appointment. My office is located at 5650 Blazer Pkwy., Suit 100.

News from Dublin’s neighbors

Powell to study downtown TIF projects

By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Now that steady revenues are coming in from Powell’s downtown tax-increment-financing district, city council will decide what capital improvements to fund.

Powell’s development committee will make a list of capital projects to recommend to city

council.

“The development committee has been charged to look through the list of potential projects and shorten the list to what we may want to recommend,” said Jim Hrivnak, committee and city council member. “Long-term or short-term projects, no projects at all. ... The slate is open.”

The committee reviewed a list

of capital improvement projects city council developed in 2007.

The list includes stormsewer, sidewalk and road improvements that the city will need to address.

In TIF districts, certain property tax revenue is defrayed and used for infrastructure costs in the TIF area or in areas that directly benefit the TIF area. Revenue from a TIF is generated from

the increase in property value that occurs after the TIF is created.

City development director Dave Betz said extending Murphy Parkway is an example of a capital improvement that benefits the downtown, but it’s not in the TIF district.

Betz said storm sewers are in need of repair on North and South Liberty Street .

City attorney Gene Hollins said an opportunity might exists to use some of the funds to provide more public parking to downtown.

The TIF brings in about $225,000 a year, an amount that would service the debt on a $2million bond that could be used to fund bigger projects, or a number of smaller ones, Betz said.

Committee and council mem-

ber Brian Lorenz said, “Parking, streetscape and storm (sewers) are paramount” and it’s good idea to “get the most bang for your buck” and do a number of small projects in a particular area.

Committee member Richard Fusch said he has long been a supporter of the Murphy Parkway extension.

“I’m on record as not liking turn lanes at the ‘four corners’ (the intersection at Olentangy and Liberty streets) ... and Murphy Parkway extension would create the four streets that would take you around the downtown,” said Fusch.

Committee members will develop a list of potential streetscape, storm sewer, parking and traffic management projects to recom-

mend to council in April.
