Council votes to retain police department

By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The debate over the idea of outsourcing Powell Police Department services to the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office is over.

Calling the police department the “jewel” of the city, six of Powell City

Council’s seven members voted to “reject” the idea and to end the discussion at their March 1 meeting.

Council member Sara Marie Brenner abstained from the vote.

The resolution was related to her Feb. 8 presentation to a temporary citizens advisory committee, in which consolidating the police department was men-

tioned as one of a number of ways the city could consolidate or privatize services.

The group was organized by Brenner as a way to find funds for capital improvements, such as roads, sewers and sidewalks.

She characterized the approach as an alternative to the income tax increase

city voters rejected on Nov. 2. The proposed increase would have generated funds for capital improvements. Brenner had opposed that tax hike.

Brenner had said the $2.3-million cost of the Powell police department could be cut by $1.5-million by consolidating with the sheriff’s office and contracting for deputies. Orange Township has such

a contract with the sheriff’s office.

Orange Township pays the deputies’ wages and some of the overtime, Delaware County sheriff Walter Davis said.

Davis attended the Powell meeting and said Orange pays about 60 percent See COUNCIL VOTES, page A2

Powell to study downtown TIF projects

By BONNIE BUTCHER

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 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.”

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 exist 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 $2-million bond that could be used to fund bigger projects, or a number of smaller ones, Betz said.

In a 5-2 vote, Powell City Council on March 1 annexed the CVS property at 3488 Seldom Seen Road from Liberty Township.

The 2.5-acre annexation was opposed by Sara Marie Brenner and Brian Lorenz. The annexation process would have expired March 2, had council not taken action.

The agreement to annex the fully developed property was accompanied by a development plan that permits uses beyond the city’s sign code, such as increased square footage per sign and the use of a changeable LED sign.

All current council members approved that development plan in March 2010 as part of a pre-annexation agreement. The plan included detailed illustrations, photographs and details on the CVS sign request.

The sign package was approved by the city’s planning and zoning commission in October 2010. A number of the commission members said they didn’t want the electronic sign, but thought the annexation was important to the city.

In November, the annexation and development plan process came to a halt when it reached council for final approval.

The city informed CVS that council was having second thoughts on the LED sign and the company responded with repeated requests to table the issue.

Roughly 50 residents attended the March 1 meeting in opposition to the LED sign. Those who spoke said such signs were ugly, unnecessary, distracting to drivers and would set a precedent for bringing other such signs into the city, harming the community’s character.

Resident and Powell business owner Tom Ritchie said, “I’d like to know what has changed. When I opened my business, there were severe restrictions (on signs). ...

To put the lighting on changes the whole darn look of our community and opens a Pandora’s box. ... I’m kind of insulted that I was so restricted ... and that the rules See POWELL, page A3

Liberty Township to bid stream restoration

By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Liberty Township trustees on March 7 agreed to seek bids on construction work to restore a stream.

The project is funded by a 2010 Surface Water Improvement Fund grant the

township received from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

The grant will provide $109,000 to restore a stream called Wildcat Run that crosses Liberty Park and ends at the Olentangy River.

The bed of the stream is eroding, leaving some gullies as deep as 5 to 10 feet,

DIRECTORY

township administrator Dave Anderson has said.

Such gullies could be hazardous for park visitors. They also increase the speed of water, which increases the danger of sediment and lawn fertilizers reaching the river, he said.

“The general idea is to move the stream

bed and make it shallow, so that when there is a large rain it will access the natural flood plain that exists there. Now in a big storm there will be three feet of water and not spill into the flood plain. ... It just races to the Olentangy River,” See LIBERTY TWP., page A2

Council votes to retain police department Continued from page A1 of the total cost of the extra deputies and his department pays 40 percent.

Council member Don Grubbs introduced the resolution supporting the police department. He said the Ohio Revised Code’s conditions for a sheriff’s contract with a city are different from those for a township.

Municipalities are required to pay all employee costs, he said.

Davis said he is not pursuing a contract with Powell, and has provided in-

formation only at Brenner’s request.

“The sheriff’s office has a good working relationship with the Powell Police Department,” Davis said.

Powell police chief Gary Vest said likewise.

Council members said many residents have called and e-mailed, saying they want the police department services to remain under the control of the city.

“We’ve heard loud and clear. Powell residents love their police department,” mayor Art Schultz said.

Schultz asked, and fellow council

members agreed, to remove Brenner’s name from the resolution because it was not a decision against a person, but against an idea.

Before the vote, Brenner asked council not to remove any potential outsourcing or consolidation discussions from the table, particularly since the idea was less than a month old.

“I’ve heard council members repeat many times that they had studied (the failed income tax increase) for three to five years,” Brenner said. “We haven’t studied this for three to five weeks. Yet

we want to just take it off the table.”

Brenner said she didn’t propose to reduce police or any other department services. She was just looking for ways to save funds.

“We shouldn’t take anything off the table. We are a democracy. How can we make the decision when we don’t have all the information?” Brenner said.

“Whatever department you want to support or not support, let’s not take anything off the table. Let’s go through all the departments and see what options are out there. There’s nothing wrong

with that.”

Grubbs said, “The resolution does not say that the budget of the police department is off the table for discussion in any way. This does take a structural idea (of outsourcing the department) off the table.”

Grubbs’resolution also notes the Powell police department was established in Article III of Powell’s charter and “may be disbanded and dissolved only upon an amendment to the charter” which would first have to be approved by voters.

Liberty Twp. to bid Powell to study downtown TIF projects stream restoration Continued from page A1

Continued from page A1 said Zach Reeder, a parks employee who is assisting with the grants.

Slowing the water down and making the stream shallow will allow large amounts of storm water to enter the flood plain, which filters contaminants from the water, Anderson said.

“The contract would call for the construction of the various channel treatments for Wildcat Run and the two tributaries that come into that,” said Anderson.

“Seeding and plantings would be part of the contract.”

The bid process and approval will take about 60 days, with construction beginning in the summer months. Planting will occur in autumn.

The township’s contribution toward the grant would include in-kind contributions of township staff time spent working on the project.

Trustees also: • Hired township fire department Capt. James Reardon as assistant chief.

• Heard the township likely will have an 8-percent increase on health insurance costs, rather than the anticipated 20-percent increase.

• Heard that the township received $15,000 in grant money

Visit us online at www.ThisWeekNews. com

from the Delaware, Knox, Marion, Morrow Solid Waste Management District. The grant will help fund a recycling program for residents. The township will buy recycling bins that residents can use to contract with trash haulers for recycling pick up.

Waste removal company Rumpke has agreed to offer its customers the recycling service for $4 per month.

• Heard fiscal officer Mark Gerber say if Ohio Senate Bill 5, which removes certain benefits from union contract negotiations, was in effect in 2010 it would have saved the township about $400,000 in retirement and health benefit costs. The employees would have paid those costs. bbutcher@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

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 turn to council in April with a finalized list of management projects.

The downtown TIF fund has a balance of $309,647. Since 2006, the downtown TIF has brought in $710,408.

To date, $400,761 has been spent, documents from the city show.

Expenses include contracted engineering and surveying, a study evaluating the property values in the district, a four-corners traffic study, a streetscape rendering, land or right-of-way acquisition, county auditor and treasurer fees, and to repay the city’s general fund, which advanced the TIF $201,640 at its inception.

The downtown TIF was approved in 2005 and began collecting in 2006. It includes almost 300 acres and will last 30 years.

Aquatic center

Orange awards operation contract

By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

For the eighth season in a row, Columbus Pool Management this summer will operate the North Orange Aquatic Center in Orange Township.

Township trustees on March 7 unanimously approved a $185,260 bid from Columbus Pool to run the swimming pool. Columbus Pool was the lowest of two bidders. Hastings Waterworks Columbus LLC bid $189,585.

Columbus Pool will be in charge of operations including concessions, hiring lifeguards and operating the pool’s front desk.

The base bid from Columbus Pool was $179,260, but the company added on an extra $6,000 in an alternative bid for additional services including lifeguard overtime costs, trustee Jennifer Christian said after the meeting.

Hastings submit a base bid with no alternatives.

Columbus Pool has operated North Orange Aquatic Center since it opened in the summer of 2003.

Also at the meeting, trustees agreed to spend an estimated $204,200 on road improvements this year.

Beth Hugh, maintenance and parks director, told trustees the township submitted a list of proposed projects to the

Delaware County engineer’s office to get cost estimates.

Slated for repairs and resurfacing this year are about a half mile of streets: Brookhaven Drive between Lewis Center and Willow Springs Drive ($47,900), Willow Springs between Brookhaven and Lewis Center ($46,100), all of Juniper Drive ($59,000), and a small section of Manor Ridge Court ($7,200).

In addition, the township will spend $44,000 on special items on various roads throughout the township, including painting center lines and edge lines, and putting up school signs, Hugh said.

Bids for the roadwork will be advertised later.

Trustees also accepted $143,982 in reimbursement grant money from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to help pay the costs of the Orange Road South Phase I trailway.

“It (the grant) helps offset the tax dollars that taxpayers pay for our trails,” Christian said.

Scott Overturf, who oversees township construction projects, told This Week the project is more than 90 percent complete and should be finished by late April or early May. Park Enterprises is the contractor for the $223,707 project.

The trailway runs just south of East Orange Road along the railroad tracks to the Oak Creek Elementary School

property on Oak Creek Drive.

Orange Township also will have its annual Earth Week Community Challenge and Cleanup in April, Hugh told trustees.

Residents can come to the Township Hall, 1680 East Orange Road, during business hours to pick up trash bags to put debris in.

Earth Day is April 22 and residents can help with cleanup on any weekend during April, Hugh said.

“We have a number of” people who help out each year, she said.

Full trash bags can be left along the roadside for pickup later by the township.

Powell annexes CVS property from Liberty; LED sign approved Continued from page A1 are even being thought about being changed so drastically.”

CVS representative Tyler Stoner has said repeatedly during the yearlong process that CVS wanted to annex because of the more permissive sign package.

“CVS’ position is that the annexation would be off. The deal is off,” Stoner said March 1 when council member Don Grubbs asked him what would happen if council approved everything but the LED sign.

Stoner also said CVS had invested a lot in the yearlong process

and discussions of legal action against the city had occurred, but not been decided.

“At the end of the day, we had a crystal-clear contract. I can’t speak to whether this opens a Pandora’s box, I know that you have Kroger and Giant Eagle and a lot of things going on and this will set the stage for what happens with them. ... We’ve tried very hard to be flexible and to address the concerns that have been raised in a reasonable manner,” he said, adding he understood the concerns about tacky flashing signs, but that’s not what CVS was proposing.

Grubbs said he had made a mistake in approving the pre-annexation agreement. Brenner and Lorenz said they thought the sign package would change in planning and zoning commission hearings.

Commentary & opinion

Do you need extra d ugh for your bakery?

Just Thinking

Please do us all a favor: Don’t make a comment My junior high school days probably were no better and no worse than anyone else’s, but they happened to fall during the popularity of slam books.

Slam books, for those not of my generation, or geographical origins, were spiral notebooks just like the spiral notebooks carried from class to class by nearly every student.

Slam book users signed their names on the first page. On the next someone would have scrawled “What do you think of …” followed by page after page of classmates’ names, one name per page. Under each name was written what passed for personal opinion in those days of rigid conformity.

The greatest compliment was “tough,” often spelled “tuff” by the girls who also dotted their i’s with little circles. To be tough was to be cool. The words we used to express the opposite of tough I will spare you, but they came up often in slam books. To come into possession of one of those toxic objects containing your own name was to stand on the brink of despair. Or elation, of course, if the right people happened to write “She’s tough” on your page, but this was seventh grade, and you can imagine how often that happened.

I’m reminded of slam books and the damage they inflicted on people’s tender parts whenever I come across internet stories that allow reader feedback. People who don’t have to reveal their names will say all kinds of ugly things.

This isn’t a new problem, of course. The nastiness of the nameless began causing problems almost the minute online discussions became possible.

Many newspapers and other publications have taken down their

comment threads. The editor of a Wi s c o n s i n newspaper said although he’d had high hopes when MARGO readers’ comBARTLETT ments first were introduced to the online newspaper, three years later he was discouraged.

“People can’t or won’t behave,” he said.

Because my hand is waving so madly, I imagine the editor sees it and calls on me.

“Won’t,” I say.

“Excuse me?” the Wisconsin editor says. (His name is Scott.)

“Won’t,” I say. When it comes to classroom confidence, Hermione Granger has nothing on me. “You said ‘People can’t or won’t behave,’ and I’m giving you the answer: It’s ‘won’t.’”

“Yes, well,” says Scott.

He didn’t say I was right, but of course I am. People are perfectly capable of behaving well when others can see, when cameras are taking pictures and when they have to sign their names.

Just look at letters to the editor. The conventional kind, I mean. Writers must sign their names and leave a telephone number, and trust me editors call those numbers. People aren’t above signing somebody else’s name to letters or pulling other kinds of funny business; we have to be watched.

And I do mean ‘we,’ since I’m a person myself. Not that I’ve ever sent a nasty online comment, but as a human, I can imagine being outraged enough, or angry enough, or self-righteous enough to maybe get carried away.

And there’s another thing.

It’s a thing that occurred to me just the other day, as I was reading a story in “Slate” about National Public Radio listeners, who shoot off furious e-mails every time NPR dares to air a story that touches on popular culture: Justin Bieber’s haircut. Tiger Woods’ comeback. The Super Bowl.

“If we wanted to hear this guff, we’d listen to commercial radio,” more or less sums up the remarks.

NPR also gets approving letters after such stories, letters along the lines of “I adore Justin Bieber!

Have more stories about him!”

But you know what? NPR rarely reads those on the air, because that would be bragging.

So of course people complain.

Complaints get attention.

As for readers’ comments, those anonymous threads so inviting to the crude and uncivilized, well, their delivery is indefensible but you can’t blame them for taking the opposite side of the position presented. To agree with the original story would make the commenter a mere follower.

Throwing up objections is to stake a claim of one’s own. Who wouldn’t do that, given the opportunity?

That’s why I for one would like to see online comment capability disappear altogether. It just makes people contentious: “What points can I dispute in this story?” they immediately think.

Delete the backtalk option, and they might shut up and think about what they just read, if only for a few minutes.

Besides, preventing people from e-mailing vitriol makes the world a better place.

Slam books, in any form, are noxious.

As it were

Some of the basics taught ‘office boys’ still good today About a century ago, Columbus, like much of the rest of America, was coping with change. A mostly rural agricultural society was rapidly becoming an urban and industrial nation.

The process had begun shortly after the end of the American Civil War and would not really end until well into the 20th century. In fact, it would not be until well into the 1920s that most Ohioans would be living in or near its large cities.

But at the turn of the century, the great need of new businesses was not simply for more workers with strong backs and boundless energy, although such people would always be welcome. Just as important was the need for a whole new generation of white collar workers to help handle the administrative and managerial tasks of the new world of “modern business.”

In an era when most young people did not go much beyond the eighth grade in the public school system, large numbers of students missed out on the useful training that a “business course” in Columbus’s one and only high school could provide.

But the need for young people in the new offices created by new businesses was still there.

To meet that need, other community organizations tried to be

of help. Important among them was the Young Men’s Christian Association or Y M C A .

Brought to ED Columbus in 1855 by Henry LENTZ B. Carrington — a man who would later go on to some renown in the Civil War and the Indian Wars that followed — the YMCA became an impor-

tant social organization. By 1893, it had established itself in a nice building at 30 S. Third St. in Columbus. In this building, young men could participate in physical education programs, religious meetings and a wide variety of educational courses.

One course, taught by Homer Niday, was called “The Business Boys Training School.” Mr. Niday, the head bookkeeper at the American Savings Bank, asserted that See SOME OF, page A5

Some of the basics taught ‘office boys’ still good today Continued from page A1 with his course, “the question of breaking in a new office boy is settled to the satisfaction of all concerned.”

Looking at a summary of Mr. Niday’s course that appeared in the local press at the time, we can learn something of both what has changed and what has not changed in local business education.

“At present there are 15 boys in the ‘Business Boys Training School’ranging in age from 15 to 18 years. Promptly at seven of o’clock, they came in — brightfaced, alert, quick-stepping youngsters, whose every attitude showed they were there for business. “ And what exactly did these young men — and they were all men, as the office was no place for a lady — learn in their classes at the YMCA? “Complete mastery of typewriters of all makes, and the clever art of keeping the machines clean, oiled and in good order, proper punctuation and neatness with all copy “ “How to write a check; how to

indorse a check; how to give a receipt; how to deposit money at the bank and how to give out change.

“How to answer telephone calls and the importance of always being courteous, even to the most peevish caller.

“How to manipulate the adding machine; how to make mimeograph copies; how to file papers and clippings; how to open and sort the mail and place it neatly for the man ‘higher-up’.

“How to write, fold and stamp letters with accurate neatness.”

Reading through all of this, anybody who has recently worked in an office will notice how much has changed from a century ago.

First and foremost, there will soon be as many office girls as office boys. And while complete mastery of office machines is important, most of them do not today require all that much oiling. Similarly, most adding machines have been replaced by pocket calculators and the mimeograph is now a museum exhibit rather than a means of making copies.

Despite all of these technical differences between that time and

our own, Homer Niday left his students with certain pieces of advice: “Be ‘Johnnie on the Spot’when needed.”

“The business world has no place for the laggard, even a new office boy.”

“When you go anywhere to represent your firm, show that you are proud of it.”

“When you answer a telephone or greet a caller, be courteous and pleasant.”

“Remember that office boys grow up very gradually and that there is sure promotion for the lad who is sincere, energetic and reliable.”

“Study your employer’s business and interests and aim to make yourself valuable to him from the very first day you enter his office” While most of us will not be called upon soon to oil a typewriter or operate a mimeograph, the general advice as to deportment and discipline given by Mr. Niday is just as valuable today as it was more than a century ago.

The newspaper article from more than century ago concluded

optimistically, “That the business world has no place for laggards, even a new office boy, is the A B C D of this school for hustlers.

That there is always room ‘higher up’for the faithful boy is an incentive which is not overlooked.

“The boys in Mr. Niday’s class will certainly be well qualified for their work when they ‘graduate.’

The course is six months long with lessons twice each week, Tuesday evenings and Thursday evenings …

“A few years hence, the commercial life of the city will doubtless be represented in many ways and in various locations throughout the world by the men who, as boys, received their first lessons in business at the “Business Boys Training School” at the Columbus YMCA.” In a few years, the business school of the Columbus YMCA would leave and over the course of time become Franklin University. The YMCA itself would move in 1924 to its new home on Spring Street. The old building would be removed and an entirely new building would be built to be the home

of The Columbus Dispatch.

And Mr. Niday’s boys? While their names remain unknown, I would like to believe that they went on to some success. They certainly

seemed to be well prepared to do so.

Students support Honor Flight Columbus

By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Olentangy Liberty High School DECA students have raised $8,000 to help send veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the World War II Memorial.

The seniors — Stephanie Watson, Andrea Noe and Esteban Ceron — are on the DECA team with the focus of raising funds and public awareness of Honor Flight Columbus, the nonprofit organization that takes WWII veterans to the capital to see the memorial.

“In DECA, every student participates in a yearlong project focused on the aspects of business and marketing,” said Watson.

The team selected a campaign to raise community awareness of and collect funds for Honor Flight Columbus which flies veterans “to visit memorials dedicated to their important service at no cost to them,” Watson said.

“Because Honor Flight Columbus provides such an important service, it is of the utmost importance that we help them achieve their goals and by an extension,

our goals,” said Noe. “Honor Flight has been a prestigious project from the first time Liberty DECA started,” said Ceron. “Being an immigrant from a Third World country has given me appreciation for the sacrifices our veterans have made so that native

born Americans and naturalized Americans can enjoy the freedoms and rights that we do today.”

The team members developed public awareness announcements for local media, social media and in-school distribution. They also held a number of

fundraising activities such as a powderpuff tournament, a T-shirt sale and a thrift sale.

Bobbi Richards, co-director of Honor Flight Columbus, said the students’hard work helped to fund the organization’s April 16 trip to Washington.

The cost is about $375 for each veteran, Richards said, noting that this year they will make five trips with about 85 veterans on each flight.

“It’s a one-day trip that doesn’t cost the veteran anything. We start out at 5:30 a.m. and when we get to Washington, D.C., we start our tour. Our main stop is the World War II memorial,” Richards said, adding they visit as many sites as the day allows, including the Iwo Jima Memorial and the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery.

The World War II Memorial was completed in 2004. Honor Flight Columbus has been operating since 2007, Richards said.

“A good many of our WWII veterans have never been thanked for their service, and they saved the world. It’s inconceivable that it’s the case,” Richards

said. “The perception is that they all came home with the confetti parades and celebrations and that’s not true. ... I have talked to thousands of World War II veterans and we had five tell us that they had any type of welcome home celebration. Honor Flight allows us to make sure the veterans understand that America has not forgotten what they did and we are so grateful for their service and sacrifice.”

Richards said they welcome everybody’s help to get WWII veterans signed up for a trip by calling (614) 284-4987 or visiting www.honorflightcolumbus.org.

“If people are looking for something to do Saturday, April 16, that evening, they could come to the (Columbus) airport about 8:30 p.m. to help welcome the veterans home. It’s an incredible experience,” Richards said. The welcomehome event will be at the Southwest Airlines baggage claim at Port Columbus International Airport 4600 International Gateway, Columbus.

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen BUSINESS IS BOOMING! Just as Baby Boomers are settling into middle age, a revolution of sorts is taking place in the world of hearing instruments. Since its introduction in 2005, the open-fit hearing instrument has been a resounding success. The open-fit design brings greater wearing comfort, it is less noticeable than traditional behind-the-ear (BTE) instruments, and it provides users with more natural sound. On top of these advantages, open-fit hearing instruments are perfectly suited to the type of hearing loss that Baby Boomers are likely to experience: mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss. Moreover, open-fit instruments have a minimalist design that is in keeping with Boomer’s active lifestyles. Is this all coincidence or just a matter of good fortune?

Boomers will decide.

People stay younger by hearing better, whether with an open-fit or BTE hearing instrument.

The type of hearing aid that is the best choice for an individual is based on many factors, including the size and shape of the ear, the type and degree of the hearing loss, and the individual’s typical listening environment. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our experienced staff is committed to determining the most appropriate hearing device for each patient’s needs. Please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a comprehensive hearing exam. Our office is located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!

County OKs fiber-optic agreement

By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

ity of fiber-optic service will make the southern part of the county a haven for high-tech companies.

Under the agreement, the county and Consolidated Electric Cooperative essentially share the cable, with each entity owning half of the strands it includes.

The county will pay $665,000 out of its general fund to own 144 fiber optic strands.

The county will be responsible for maintaining its 144 fiber-optic strands.

Maintenance for this year will not exceed $5,000, county data center direc-

Delaware County commissioners on March 3 approved an agreement with Consolidated Electric Cooperative that would establish a jointly owned fiberoptic cable that would extend about 16 miles from Delaware to Worthington.

Fiber-optic allows ultra high-speed Internet connections capable of sending and receiving one gigabyte per second.

Economic development director Gus Comstock has predicted that availabil-

tor Stephen Lewis said. That amount could slightly increase next year.

Lewis said the new cable would save the county over $4,000 per month. The 911 back-up center in Orange Township will also benefit. The county also is discussing cable usage with the Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities on U.S. Route 23 and with Orange Township for fire and administrative needs.

Lewis said Consolidated Electric Cooperative’s bid came in well under other bids, which exceeded $1-million.

Lewis said Delaware and Consolidated Electric both needed to connect to Worthington. Consolidated Electric Cooperative needed to connect a network it built with federal stimulus funds.

The Delaware link will run to DataCenter.BZ at 535 Scherers Court in Worthington. DataCenter.BZ is a carrier hotel, a building that has access to multiple Internet and telecommunication carriers.

While a part of the project is already in place, some parts still need to be constructed, Lewis said. He estimated that everything would be completed this year.

The program also affords the company the opportunity to display some of its range. It includes new works by David Parsons and BalletMet dancer Jimmy Orrante, as well as reprises of Harrison McEldowney’s Group Therapy and the stark and challenging The Man in Black from last season’s “American Legends: Johnny, Sammy and Stevie.” The James Kudelka piece is set to the music of Johnny Cash.

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.

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 wide range of Thai classics, from tom 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.

He said there’s still a learning curve for some customers, who 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 San-Su, a Korean restaurant, to Jae Uk Jong. Wada is the founder of the two local Genji Japanese Steakhouses, among other enterprises.

Scouting news Troop conducts coat collection Olentangy Brownie Troop 1090 collected new and gently used coats for the Salvation Army’s Coats for Columbus program.

Helped by more than 1,400 girls in the Olentangy Girl Scout Service Unit, the Brownies collected 1,834 coats.

The troop started the projected last spring, when members realized that their own outgrown coats represented an opportunity to engage in community service, a core value of the Girl Scouts. A partnership with the Columbus Blue Jackets resulted in discount incentives for troops who donated coats.

To spur donations, the Brownies made fliers, contacted neighbors and posted notices at area businesses.

They also collected items from Olentangy schools’ lost and found bins.

Taranto’s threw a pizza party for the troop that collected the most coats — Troop 1164 from Walnut Creek Elementary School.

Put those Samoas on my card, please

Members of Brownie troops 1090 and 1164 celebrate at Taranto’s Pizza. Troop 1090 headed up a coat collection drive; Troop 1164 collected the most coats of all participating troops in the Olentangy Girl Scout Service Unit. Troop 1090 partnered for the project with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

OWU receives $500,000 gift Ohio Wesleyan University has received a five-year, $500,000 gift from 1978 graduate Frank F. Quinn.

Quinn is senior vice president of UBS Financial Services Inc., an international wealth management, investment banking and asset management company based in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland.

The gift will create the Jon E. Sanger Endowment for Faculty Support, and will support the Ohio Wesleyan Fund, the LGBTIQ Resource Center and President’s Circle.

The $375,000 Sanger Endowment honors Sanger, an OWU professor who taught botany-microbiology for 27 years before his retirement in 1996. The endowment will support faculty work related to the OWU Connection, a curricular initiative to increase opportunities for students to put classroom theory into real-world practice.

The unrestricted Ohio Wesleyan Fund supports scholarships, facility enhancements and the LGBTIQ Resource Center, a student-run “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning” community, according to information from OWU. Quinn, who studied botany/bacteriology and economics at OWU, earned a master’s degree in business administration at Northwestern University.

He has remained active in OWU alumni activities, and is a member of the President’s Circle, which will receive $50,000 of his gift for the president’s discretionary use.

Five county applicants receive recycling grants

By SARAH SOLE

applicants applied, seeking a total of nearly $600,000. Eight of the 15 applicants were from Delaware County.

Additional savings also increased the amount of funding awarded this year.

“It gives us opportunities,” Cooper said.

Over the past several years, the district had been awarding about $240,000, Cooper said. Now however, the district was able to award about $80,000 more thanks to savings gained through a change in recycling collections systems. The change means that Delaware County will save about $126,000 per year, he said.

Delaware General Health District director Jesse Carter said some businesses in the county are adept at recycling, while some don’t do it at all. Residential recycling occurs mostly in areas with curbside recycling, he said.

“That is the point where we see it

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Delaware County applicants received $90,830 of the total $321,371 in grants awarded for 2011 by the Delaware Knox Marion Morrow Solid Waste Management District.

Five of the 11 applicants awarded the Recycling & Market Development Grant are from Delaware County. Twelve commissioners from the four counties reviewed the applications. According to DKMM’s website, the grant provides financial assistance to applicants that create and process recyclables or create and support markets for them.

According to its website, DKMM is funded by a $6 per ton contract fee collected from designated landfill and transfer station operators.

jump,” Carter said.

The health district received $50,000 for recycling and waste production workshops. Carter said the goal is to reduce trash weight by 10 percent and increase recycling weight by 20 percent.

Carter said he is delighted with the award and the opportunity to increase recycling.

“Every little bit helps,” Carter said.

DKMM awarded funds to the following applicants in Delaware County: • Mud Flats Bar & Grill, 31 W. Columbus St., Galena, $3,380, for the implementation of a compost program.

• Delaware General Health District, 1-3 W. Winter St., Delaware, $50,000 for recycling and waste production workshops for government facilities and area businesses; requires a $11,000 local funding match.

Liberty Township, $15,000, to buy

curbside bins.

Ohio Wesleyan University, 38 S. Liberty St., Delaware, $21,800, for outdoor recycling containers and a recycling truck; requires a $12,000 local funding match.

General Rosencrans Elementary School, 301 S. Miller Drive, Sunbury, $650 for equipment to implement a paper recovery program.

In other Delaware County news: During their meeting Feb. 28, county commissioners appointed Dawn Huston as director of administrative services. Huston had been serving as acting director since Dec. 20, when then-director Lisa Iannotta left the county for a position with the state. Huston made $72,000 as acting director and will now make $79,997, said county administrator Tim Hansley. Huston said her responsibilities include insurance and risk, the records

center, the dog shelter and workers’compensation. She has worked for the county since 1992. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to it,” Huston told ThisWeek.

The county has published a request for bids for county recording software.

County recorder Melissa Jordan said she reworked a bid request started when former recorder Andrew Brenner was still in office. Brenner had put a bid out, but a contract was never awarded, Jordan said. Jordan was appointed as recorder Jan. 19 after Brenner left for his state representative seat. The county’s current software vendor is ACS. Jordan said she wouldn’t release cost information because it might affect the bidding process.

Funding for the software comes from the recorder’s set-aside fund. The $4 filing fee for almost every document recorded goes into that fund, Jordan said.

Hockey

Liberty to face top-ranked St. Francis

By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The celebration of its first district championship has ended for the Olentangy Liberty High School hockey team. Now the Patriots must focus on their next hurdle — the state’s top-ranked team.

Liberty, which is 27-8-1, will play Toledo St. Francis (32-4-1) in a state semifinal at noon Saturday, March 12, at Nationwide Arena. The winner plays thirdranked Lakewood St. Edward (25-14-3) or seventh-ranked Gates Mills Gilmour Academy (31-8-2) in the state final at noon Sunday, March 13. “(St. Francis) was top ranked all year and they played good teams,” said coach Jack Hoogeveen, whose team defeated Dublin Jerome 3-2 in double overtime in the district final on March 5 at the Dispatch Ice Haus. “We know that we need to get film and figure out what we need to do against them.”

Liberty hasn’t played St. Francis this season, but lost to the Knights 9-1 last season. The Knights qualified for their seventh state semifinal with a 7-4 win over Toledo St. John’s on March 5. St. Francis has reached the state final only once, losing to Parma Padua 4-2 in 1988. The Knights last reached a state semifinal in 2008.

“Last year was a different team, but from what I understand, they were No. 1 most of the year and didn’t make it to state,” Hoogeveen said of St. Francis. “I guess that really got them focused for this year.”

Junior forward Ben Torchia had three goals and two assists for St. Francis in its district final and senior forward Tyler Murphy had two goals and three assists. Senior defenseman Zak Valiton and junior forward Scott Wawrzyniak also scored.

Junior goaltender Thomas Kosinski had 20 saves.

Murphy leads the team with 43 goals and 56 assists.

“We know it will be a battle,” Hoogeveen said. “We’ll just have to get out there and see what happens.”

The Patriots have not played St. Edward this season, but lost to Gilmour Academy 4-1 on Jan. 8 in the Gates Mills Gilmour Tournament.

The semifinal will mark the first time the Patriots have been on the ice at Nationwide Arena. Because Nationwide Arena charges a $250 fee for an hour-long practice, Hoogeveen opted to hold practice this week at Chiller North.

“The ice is the same size, so we decided that we would stay up at Chiller North and focus on our opponent,” Hoogeveen said. “Our practice on Friday will be like any other this year.”

Frank Longhino sank a 3pointer with 1 minute, 30 seconds left in the opening quarter to start a rally that cut the deficit to three by halftime, but Northland, ranked second in the final state poll behind Garfield Heights and seeded second in the district, went on to a 59-52 victory on March 5 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum.

Liberty finished a programbest 16-7 overall and reached a district semifinal for the first time.

“We were down three points at halftime and four going into the fourth quarter,” said coach Greg Nossaman, whose team trailed by four points with 1:23 remaining in the game. “We felt that if we could keep it close and get a bucket here or there, we would be OK.” Liberty’s defense succeeded in confusing Northland, which improved to 22-1 and advanced to play Westerville Central in a district final on Friday, March 11.

“We came out strong and got comfortable,” said Vikings junior guard Jordan Potts, who scored six points. “(The Patriots) switched up their defense a lot and did a good job on us defensively.”

Jake Bischoff led the Patriots with 17 points, including four 3pointers. Andy Yazrombek had 10 points, Nick Archer scored nine and Longhino scored six.

“I think the difference might have been rebounding,” Nossaman said. “We were outrebounded by 17 and that kind of hurt us. When we missed a shot, they kept us from getting a second chance. They were taller and much more athletic than we were.”

•Orange finished 15-7 overall after losing to Westerville Central 58-46 in the second round of the Division I district tournament Feb. 25 at Hilliard Bradley.

Senior forward Josh Wintermantel scored 21 points, including three 3-pointers, to lead the Pioneers. Junior guards Blake Hoskins and Matt Kurelic each added nine points.

Seeded 10th, Orange defeated Hilliard Davidson 50-45 in the opening round of the tournament Feb. 22.

Pioneers, Braves come up short in district finals

The Olentangy Orange and Olentangy high school girls basketball teams followed similar paths all season. Both won league championships, both were among the top seeded teams in their respective district tournaments and both had their respective postseason runs end in a district final.

Top-seeded Olentangy lost to third-seeded Hilliard Bradley 4846 in a Division II district championship game March 3 at Ohio Dominican University. Two days later, third-seeded Orange lost to fifth-seeded Pickerington North 46-39 in a Division I district final at Olentangy Liberty. “Today it just hurts,� Pioneers coach Mary Ann Grimes said moments after the loss to North. “It feels like there’s a death in the family. Now we just deal with the loss. How we move forward from here is just as important as how we finished.�

Orange, which finished 21-3 overall, looked poised to end the Panthers’ seven-year run of district championships, as sophomore point guard Taylor Agler made a 3-pointer with 1 minute, 48 seconds left in the third quarter to give the Pioneers a 29-27 lead.

However, the Pioneers went without a field goal over the next 8:46, including a stretch of 5:41 in which they didn’t score at all.

All three of Orange’s losses came against opponents — Bradley, North and Northland — that went on to win district championships.

The Pioneers captured their first OCC-Capital Division title with a 13-1 record, with their only setback being a 45-33 loss to Bradley on Feb. 11. Bradley was second in the league at 122, followed by New Albany (104), Big Walnut (9-5), Delaware (6-8), Mount Vernon (3-11), Watkins Memorial (3-11) and Franklin Heights (0-14). “I’m so proud of this team,� junior center Kelsey Lewis said. “It took us all working hard (to be successful). I can’t wait to get back on the court again.�

Orange expects to keep its lineup intact, as it has no seniors on its roster. In addition to Agler (5-7) and Lewis (6-1), among those expected to return are juniors Ashley Bassett-Smith (6-3, center) and Allison Donatelli (5-6, guard) and sophomores Maddy Joseph (5-5,

Zwayer banked in a 3-pointer with 48.5 seconds left and her sister, Olivia Zwayer, made a 3pointer with 15.3 seconds left to tie the game at 46.

However, with six seconds left, the Jaguars’ Brooke Espenschied took the ball the length of the court and made a running jumper while being tightly defended with .7 of a second left to give Bradley its first district title in any sport.

Olentangy captured its second consecutive OCC-Cardinal championship, as it went 12-2 to finish ahead of Dublin Scioto (10-4), Westerville North (9-5), Dublin Jerome (7-7), Westerville Central (7-7), Westerville South (5-9), Marysville (3-11) and Olentangy Liberty (3-11).

Olivia Zwayer averaged 6.5 points and four rebounds and was special mention all-league and honorable mention all-district, and Richardson averaged 6.1 points and 2.4 assists and was honorable mention all-league. “Those four seniors put a lot of time into our program,� Feasel said.

Grimes said. “Taylor said afterward, ‘I just didn’t want it to end.’ I said, ‘It is not. We still have 6 a.m. running tomorrow.’â€? •Olentangy coach John Feasel believes the disappointment of losing in a district final for the second consecutive season could help his team next season. It depends on how the returnees respond to that disappointment, he said. “We’re disappointed, but sometimes it’s good to be disappointed,â€? said Feasel, whose team lost to Eastmoor Academy 56-45 in a district final last season. “I told the girls they have nothing to hang their heads about. They played their butts off.â€?

Dan Harris didn’t know what he was getting into when he agreed to coach the Olentangy Orange High School boys and girls swimming and diving teams this season after coaching the Olentangy girls squad the previous 10 seasons.

As it turned out, Harris was pleasantly surprised by the work ethic of the members of the thirdyear program. “These teams hadn’t had the best seasons in the past, but the first thing I was impressed with was the kids were willing to put in the time to get better,� Harris said. “The biggest surprise for me has been the work ethic of the kids and their desire to keep pushing each other. They never quit giving their best effort.�

The Orange girls team scored 174 points to place third in the OCC-Capital Division meet that concluded Jan. 29 behind host New Albany (343) and Delaware (268). Mount Vernon (155) finished fourth, followed by Hilliard Bradley (114), Big Walnut (112) and Watkins Memorial (98).

Arcy, Patriots win thriller to advance to state semi

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Nick Kaczkowski (top) of Liberty works on Euclid’s Rynell Roper in a first-round match at 160 pounds during the Division I state tournament March 3 at Ohio State. Kaczkowski lost 4-3 before bouncing back to place eighth.

WRESTLING “Nerves got the better of Caleb in the first round, but he fought his way back to place for us” Hammons said.

Bryan Young (heavyweight) went 1-2, and Joe Gadd (160) and Alex Stinemetz (215) each went 0-2.

Liberty scored nine points to tie Lancaster and Sandusky for 41st in the Division I state tournament behind champion Lakewood St. Edward (187) as 79 teams scored.

Nick Kaczkowski went 2-3 to finish eighth at 160 to become the Patriots’ first state placer.

“We won seven matches at state, which is a big improvement over winning none in the past,” coach Mark Marinelli said. “This was a year of firsts for our team, and we got another one with Nick becoming our first state placer.”

Jarrod Boone (125), Craig Thomas (152) and Luke Fleming (heavyweight) each went 1-2, and Jake Ryan (130), Anthony Michael (130) and Ethan Snyder (152) each went 0-2.

“We lost a bunch of close matches,” Marinelli said. “Craig was pretty sick and was unable to compete well or he would have done much better.

“Our kids aren’t used to this kind of success and they may have been content with merely making it to state. We were competitive, though, and I think we’ve set the bar higher for ourselves in the future. As our standards get higher, I think we’ll become more competitive at state.”

Orange senior Josh Toprani (145) went 0-2 in his first state appearance, losing to Copley’s Jon Garrison 4-2 and Fairfield’s Jake Neyer 7-6 in Division I.

match,” Caserta said. “I took him down and put him on his back three times. This was a completely different experience for me than the last time I went to state. I felt like I wrestled well the whole way through.”

Making his first state appearance, Anthony Fosco went 2-3 to place sixth at 125.

Fosco opened with a 6-4 victory over Hunting Valley University School’s Dominic Monaco and defeated Lexington’s Jake Faust 6-3 before losing his final three matches, falling 20-5 to eventual champion Nate Skonieczny of Walsh Jesuit, 9-1 to eventual third-place finisher Kyle Brezovec of Aurora and 15-6 to Faust.

“It was exciting to be there for the first time and it was enjoyable being there with my teammates,” Fosco said. “My goal was to place and I wasn’t expecting to make it to the semifinals like I did.”

After placing second at 103 in Division II last year and placing eighth at 103 in Division I two years ago, Trevor Fiorucci went 3-2 to place fifth at 119.

Fiorucci pinned Circleville’s Tyler Knul in 3 minutes, 18 seconds in the opening round and defeated Wapakoneta’s Jake Beemer 8-0 before losing to eventual champion Micah Jordan of Graham 9-3.

He then lost to Aurora’s Ryan Cash 7-2 before beating Walsh Jesuit’s Mike Kostandaras 2-1.

“Trevor fell short of his goal of a state championship, but he’s become a three-time state placer, so he has a lot to be proud of,” Hammons said.

It was a hockey game that the players, coaches and fans won’t soon forget.

On March 5 at the Dispatch Ice Haus, top-seeded Dublin Jerome played second-seeded Olentangy Liberty for a district championship. The winner would advance to a state semifinal against Toledo St. Francis at noon Saturday, March 12, at Nationwide Arena.

Liberty’s Marshall Oja settled the drama, scoring early in the second overtime to give the Patriots a 3-2 victory.

The game featured a matchup of two standout goaltenders in Jerome senior Josh Howell and Liberty junior Eddie Arcy, who stopped 30 shots in the game after he had made 17 saves in a 3-0 win over Dublin Coffman on Feb. 27.

“What a game that was,” Arcy said afterward. “Both teams played at a high level and there really wasn’t any room for mistakes. Our team hung tough just like it has all year. From day one, our goal wasn’t only to win the district; it was to win the state tournament. But like any hockey team, we went through some hard times. We had injuries to a number of players that shook our confidence, but we have a great group of players who care greatly about the game of hockey and play it with passion. We care about our coaches, we care about our school and we care about our fans. And after beating a good Jerome team that had beaten us twice during the regular season, this is the best feeling you could ever have in your sport.

“I was so excited just to play, to step on the ice in that game, so you can imagine how excit-

ed I was when I skated down the ice after I realized that Marshall had scored the gamewinning goal.

There has LARRY never, ever LARSON been a more satisfying moment for me in sports.”

Looking ahead to the match against St. Francis, Arcy said, “It will be another awesome experience. We all know they are a terrific team, but our defense has been outstanding in the postseason and our offense is getting the job done. Now we get to play on the same ice that the Columbus Blue Jackets and the rest of the NHL players play on.

What a thrill it will be and I really can’t believe we made it there, but our team confidence right now is out the roof and I think that will help us a lot.”

Discussing his role as his team’s last line of defense, Arcy said, “My job is simply stopping the puck. I have played the goalie position since I was 6

years old and I think I have been in almost everyone situation possible and I have played some pretty high-level games, which will help on Saturday.

“As a goalie, I have learned that you have to block out all the external things going on during a game and just focus on playing my game with a smile on my face. I love the game of hockey and I love the competition.

“I understand my role as goalie can control the outcome of any game, but am excited to be in that position. Playing this position with my teammates has truly boosted my confidence as a young person and made me believe in myself, and that goes a long way in all aspects of my life. I can’t wait until Saturday.”

These are the moments that sports provide for a lifetime. For Arcy and his teammates, the district championship will be lodged in their minds forever.

I’ll see you at a game.

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 rewarded with a trip to the final four.

The Patriots, who are 27-8-1, play

top-ranked Toledo St. Francis (32-4-1) in a state semifinal at noon Saturday, March 12, at Nationwide Arena. The state championship will be played at noon the following day.

SCOTT “Yeah, I almost HENNEN 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,” fourth-year 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 the Southern Professional League championship.

“It takes a special group of kids to battle through a season of injuries and tough games to make it this far,” Kormanyos said. “This is a special group of kids.”

In the district final, sophomore forward Ethan Hollingsworth passed the puck to sophomore forward Marshall

HOCKEY

Oja, who scored 52 seconds into the second overtime to secure the final four berth.

“It’s all really overwhelming,” Hollingsworth said when asked about playing in front of a standing roomonly crowd at the Ice Haus for the district final. “They 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

Continued from page C1 the second overtime against Jerome.

“It was pretty big to be able to score like that and make it to our first final four,” Oja said. “It will be great to be able to play in Nationwide Arena, no matter who we go up against.”

Sophomore forward Noah Allmaras and freshman forward Christopher Bergamesca scored Liberty’s other goals. Senior defensemen Anthony Bergamesca and Alec Vidrick and Oja also had assists.

Junior goaltender Eddie Arcy had 30 saves.

“Maybe Eddie was the difference for us,” Hoogeveen said.

“He made some great saves in tough situations and he still has another year to go.”

•ALL-LEAGUE HONORS — Arcy, Anthony Bergamesca, Christopher Bergamesca and senior forward Jimmy Ruska were named first-team all-Capital Hockey Conference. Vidrick was named second-team and Hollingsworth was honorable mention.

Ruska, goalie Bryan Finneran, defenseman Gus Olmsted and forward Reed Slinger were first

Wooster senior Nathan Balch, an Olentangy graduate, has been named first-team all-North Coast Athletic Conference in men’s basketball.

Balch, a 6-foot-1 guard, averaged 12.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists a game this season. He was second-team all-conference last season.

Alex Brandt, a 6-7 junior post player at Wittenberg who also graduated from Olentangy, was named honorable mention all-conference after averaging 7.5 points and 5.7 rebounds this season.
