Vote on district job cuts slated for March 21

By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Canal Winchester Board of Education is expected to vote March 21 on a plan that could eliminate the jobs of up to 45 district employees.

A “reduction-in-force” plan was presented to the board last month.

Superintendent Kimberley Miller-

Smith said a variety of factors will determine how many employee contracts are not renewed in the next several months, including Gov. John Kasich’s state budget proposal and the fate of an emergency replacement levy on the May 3 ballot. The 14.78-mill, three-year replacement levy, if approved, would generate $6,439,000 per year.

Miller-Smith said some positions will

be cut regardless of what happens with the levy vote because the district needs to reduce expenditures.

It currently employs 260 teachers, she said. Cuts will be made across the board to both teacher and staff positions. She declined to speculate on how the cuts would be split among employees.

“No one is going to be happy,” MillerSmith said.

“We have two things happening to us at one time,” she said. “We have the impending state reductions and then we have the levy renewal. Both of those could have a significant impact.”

Administrators began meeting in February to discuss the proposed reduction in staff, identifying positions that could potentially be eliminated to save the district $3-million.

At the beginning of March, district officials met with the Canal Winchester Education Association to share information about the process.

“On the 22nd of March, we will let people know who is going to be impacted,” Miller-Smith said.

Series of public forums starts April 26

By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers Development director Chris Strayer told village council’s Old Town Committee Monday that Canal Winchester will host a series of public meetings starting in April so residents can comment on historic and preservation district guidelines.

Meetings are scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. April 26, May 24 and June 28, with a possible fourth meeting in July. All will be held at the Frances Steube Community Center, 22 S. Trine St. In January, Strayer said the Downtown Zoning Commission was looking for feedback on changes being proposed to the village historic and preservation districts. However, the DZC didn’t get any feedback so village officials then decided to hold a series of public hearings to find out how residents would like to see the code changed, Strayer said.

“We starting from scratch to make sure it is coming from the community,” he said.

The Canal Winchester Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner and business expo on March 11 raised $4,000 in sponsorships for chamber operations, education and networking opportunities for members.

Chamber president Kim Rankin said the highlight of the event was “the overwhelming … turnout and the number of sponsorships.”

“We were packed to the walls,” she said.

Rankin said at least 150 people attended this year’s event, which followed the theme,

Cason retires as ThisWeek executive editor

By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Friday, March 18, marks the end of an era at ThisWeek Community Newspapers.

Late that afternoon, vice president and executive editor Ben Cason will shut down his computer, gather his cell phone and coat and quietly stroll out of the newsroom the way he has every

week since 1993.

However, come Monday morning, for the first time in 18 years, he won’t be lead- Ben Cason ing a newsroom discussion on politics or the NCAA basketball tournament.

ment to ThisWeek staffers March 11, concluding a career that spanned the height of the Watergate era as an editor at The Washington Post to building one of the nation’s most respected community newspaper organizations.

Under Cason’s leadership, ThisWeek Community Newspapers have won hundreds of state, regional and national awards for journalistic excellence.

More importantly, general manager Stephen Zonars said, Cason won the loyalty of hundreds of thousands of central Ohio readers.

“Ben has been the heartbeat of ThisWeek Community Newspapers for 18 years and his contributions are immeasurable,” Zonars said. “On his watch, the

The Ohio Historic Preservation Office has asked Canal Winchester to help update the records of historic properties in the village and to get all the records online.

Zoning officer Andrew Dutton told village council’s Old Town committee at its March 14 meeting the OHPO maintains information about each historic property in the village. This includes a picture, stories, property owner, architectural details and a history of the property, he said.

“The last time it was updated was the mid-1980s,” Dutton said.

“There have definitely been a lot of changes since then.”

Village officials expect to begin work on the project in April.

There is no timeline for completion.

Dutton said there are 386 historic buildings in Canal Winchester in the Ohio Historic Preservation Office inventory.

“Updating it is going to be a big task,” he said. “We have already identified the properties and created a map.”

Dutton said the village plans to use interns to help compile basic information for each property and collect photos.

Village staff members will gather more detailed information, including a history of each property, he said. According to information provided to council, the village will also collect information on each building’s style of design and roof type and material.

Dutton said not all of the properties listed in the Ohio Historic Preservation Office inventory are on the National Register of Historic Places.

“Don’t mistake (the inventory) for houses on the Historic Register,” Mayor Michael Ebert said.

Councilman John Bender asked how properties make the list.

Vote on district job cuts slated for March 21 Continued from page A1 tracts are expected to be approved for remaining employees. All teacher contracts are up for renewal in March, MillerSmith said.

The reductions are part of a long list of cuts that have been made since 2009 to keep the Canal Winchester district fiscally healthy, she said. In May 2009,

voters approved a 14.82-mill, two-year emergency levy.

“We are very lean already,” she said.

“When I went back to look, in 2009, we were telling people, ‘here is what the reductions will be if the levy doesn’t pass.’

A lot of that was never brought back.”

The district never brought back all of the supplemental contracts that were in place in 2009, Miller-Smith said. Sev-

eral programs, including the district’s marketing education program, were cut.

The district had a second vocational agriculture teacher at the time whose job was eliminated, she said.

“We never returned a second teacher to that program,” Miller-Smith said. “Just to stretch the money we did not return those programs.”

While other school districts are grap-

pling with the potential effects of Senate Bill 5, Miller-Smith said, many of the elements of the bill are already in place in the Canal Winchester district.

For instance, she said, S.B. 5 required public employees to pay at least 15 percent of health insurance costs. Canal Winchester school district employees pay 25 percent.

In anticipation of losing state funds,

Canal Winchester school officials budgeted a 10-percent reduction in state aid, Miller-Smith said.

“We were given guidance early in the year to (expect) 5 or 10 percent,” she said. “We have been working on this for a good two-year period prior to coming to this crisis.” tstubbs@thisweeknews.com

Comment sought on historic, preservation guidelines Continued from page A1 The aim is for residents to learn about preservation area guidelines, the approval process and the responsibilities of the Landmarks Commission.

“What we would probably like to do is (dedicate) the first meeting to zoning code issues and invite members of the planning commission to talk about the zoning code and how it is ap-

plied downtown,” Strayer said.

Commission members will share existing code with residents and gather feedback about what elements should be changed including lighting and setbacks, he said.

The May 24 meeting will be dedicated to Canal Winchester’s preservation guidelines, Strayer said. Landmarks Commission members may be on hand

to talk about how those codes are applied to the downtown area, he said. Residents will be able to provide feedback about things like design material guidelines and architectural styles, Strayer said.

He and zoning officer Andrew Dutton will take the input from the first two meetings and develop a rough draft of potential changes to be presented at the June 28 public forum. If resi-

dents at that meeting agree with the changes, the recommendations will be forwarded to council at its August committee-ofthe-whole meeting, Strayer said.

If residents feel like more changes are required, a fourth public meeting will be held on July 26, he said.

Several residents have asked that Canal Winchester’s zoning

code be compared with those in other communities, Strayer said. He said codes will be gathered from central Ohio and beyond.

“If there is any community that you would like to compare yourself against as far as zoning codes and architectural standards, let me know so I can gather the information,” he said.

He said he may pull zoning codes from Florida and Massachusetts for comparison and Councilwoman Bobbie Mershon suggested the village might want to look at zoning codes in Virginia, too.

“The sky is the limit,” Strayer said. “If residents have any ideas, we can go and pull the codes wherever we need to.”

Cason retires March 18 as ThisWeek executive editor Continued from page A1 readership of our papers has grown by more than 200,000 people, which may be the most honest reflection of how valuable the public finds our coverage, which is the product of Ben’s leadership in the newsroom.”

Zonars said Cason’s legacy is the team of journalists he has assembled at ThisWeek.

“We are indebted to Ben for attracting bright and passionate reporters and editors who share his love of community news and sports, and to Ben’s high personal standards for quality, objective and, above all, accurate reporting,” he said.

“No one checks more facts than Ben. Ben’s legacy will be that his brand of journalism will live on through our staff because Ben showed them the way as he coached, mentored and nurtured them. Ben leaves us in good hands.”

Two of Cason’s first hires after he arrived at ThisWeek were Lee Cochran, now assistant managing editor and sports editor, and Sandy Wallace, news editor.

“I came to ThisWeek from a small daily and it took some time for me to get used to the different pace and schedule of weekly papers,” Wallace said. “But Ben’s vision for the papers was very clear. It was all about better reporting, better editing, better writing. For Ben, content is key, regardless of whether it’s in print or online.

“It will be very strange to walk in the newsroom on March 21 and know Ben won’t be there,” she said. “We’re losing a wealth of experience and institutional knowledge — but I think I can safely say that Ben’s influence will continue to be felt for a long time.”

“Ben came to ThisWeek three months before

me,” Cochran said. “Soon after I started, he explained his plan for improving the papers, and it’s a vision he has followed ever since and one that will continue. The success we’ve had at ThisWeek is a credit to Ben and his vision. He knew what it took to be a successful newspaper and led us there.

“He is a leader, a mentor and, most importantly, a friend. He will be missed by our readers and our newsroom.”

After graduating from the University of Florida, Cason took a job at The St. Petersburg Times, where he met his wife, Carol.

Cason was news editor at The Washington Post during the Watergate scandal that eventually toppled President Richard Nixon. He said the Watergate episode was one of the most interesting times in his career. As news editor of The Post during that era, he put together many of the paper’s historic front pages.

Cason said working for newspapers that were family-owned has been important to him.

“I feel fortunate to have worked for familyrun operations almost my entire career — the Wolfe family in Columbus, the Graham family at The Washington Post and Nelson Poynter at The St. Petersburg Times,” Cason said. “Journalism is almost always better when it’s run by families who live in the communities than by faceless large newspaper chains.”

Cason said he remains a proponent of community journalism.

“I think community journalism is the future of journalism,” he said.

CHAMBER Continued from page A1 “The Sky’s the Limit.”

One thing people were so involved with this year was networking opportunities, she said.

“We didn’t have time to sit down,” she said. “Everyone was so enthused. It was a fabulous networking event.”

Mike Ippoliti, president of the Canal Winchester Area Historical Society, received the chamber’s Pillar of the Community Award.

“He has volunteered many hours and helped different nonprofits,” Rankin said. “He knows a lot about history and about our community.”

Rankin said Ippoliti also oversees the Ed Jeffers Barber Museum, a role he took on when the museum’s founder and owner passed away.

“He conducts all the tours and answers all of the questions,” Rankin said.

Ippoliti said he wasn’t entirely surprised to receive the Pillar of the Community Award. He said someone called him a couple of years ago and told him they submitted his name.

“I just basically forgot about it,” he said. “I was semi-surprised.”

In the early 1990s, a model

VILLAGE train club called the N. Scale Train Modelers — of which Ippoliti is member — was looking for a new home after losing its space at the Ohio Expo Center.

Village council president Marilyn Rush-Ekelberry invited the group to use the train depot owned by the Canal Winchester Area Historical Society if the members of the club promised to join the society, Ippoliti said.

“They were so gracious about letting us use the depot as a quasi clubhouse we thought that we should join the historical society,” he said. “That kicked it off.

I got involved, became a trustee, president and after that, no one wanted to run against me.”

Carl Heister received the chamber’s Business Person of the Year Award. During his career, he worked as a stockbroker for Merrill Lynch, college teacher and a Realtor/Broker for HER Realtors until he retired in October 2010, according to his biography.

“He has been in the community with his business for many years,” Rankin said. “He has been an advocate for government affairs for the chamber and his business. He is just very knowledgeable at all government levels in working with his business.”

Kathy Binner of All About You Salon Suite laughs as she talks with Bruce Jarvis and Joe Messerly during the Canal Winchester Area Chamber of Commere’s 2011 Annual Dinner Business Expo at Cheers Lakeside Chalet.

Heister said he was humbled and honored to be recognized.

“From my perspective, it is an award I will never forget,” he said. “I really appreciate even being considered. It is almost overwhelming.”

Heiberger Paving received the Business of the Year Award. According to its website, the company is a commercial paving and blacktop contractor in central Ohio.

“The business has been in our community for over 30 years,” Rankin said. “They pave the way to a lot of our business by paving

parking lots.”

The company was started by Ken Heiberger and his wife, Connie, in 1977. Heiberger employs 65 full-time works at peak times of its season, according to information provided by the chamber.

Since 1990, the company has maintained a facility on Walnut Street where employees work on equipment. Its office at 458 W. Waterloo St. was opened after an expansion in 2007. tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Dutton said it is up to the preservation office to place a property on the list; the village has no input.

Main Street Canal Winchester director Bruce Jarvis said there are homes in the Old Town historic district that need to be placed on the inventory list. He said it would be helpful to the Landmarks Commission to have the information about the homes.

“There doesn’t appear to be a rhyme or reason to (the list),” he said.

Strayer said the only structures included in the inventory are structures recognized by OHPO. He said information could be gathered for additional properties but they wouldn’t be included in the online listing.

Jarvis asked if the village anticipated adding any properties to the inventory. Dutton said there may be a dozen properties added to the list.

Councilwoman Bobbie Mershon said the project seems like a “massive undertaking,” that the state of Ohio didn’t want to pay someone to compile.

Strayer said each property needs a historic background check and there will be several people involved with the project because there is so much information to gather.

“A lot of information we have on property right now is incomplete,” he said.

Once the information has been compiled, it doesn’t change, Strayer said. If enough detail is compiled, the inventory won’t need to be updated again unless there is a new property to add.

Landmarks Commission member Joe Messerly said there should be plenty of volunteers to collect information. He and Jarvis have discussed how helpful inventory sheets are to the commission, he said.

After the meeting, Dutton said the village will be looking for volunteers to assist with gathering the information, but those people should have some expertise or historic knowledge of the area.

As it were

Ralston Steel Car Co. was ‘a truly great’ enterprise It was an immense operation: At its height, the Ralston Steel Car Co. employed hundreds of people.

Much of it is gone now. A few of the factory buildings remain.

But in its time —for almost 50 years — the Ralston Steel Car Co. was a great Columbus success. That story and the story of the man who made it happen are well worth retelling.

ED Joseph LENTZ Stevenson Ralston was born near Hamilton, Ontario, in 1865. His father, Robert Ralston, was a recent immigrant from Ireland. His mother, Sarah Springer Ralston, came from a family that had been in America since 1680 but had fled to Canada during the American Revolution because of their loyalty to the crown.

Like a number of people in Canada, and certainly like many more in the United States, Joseph Ralston was a restless young man.

After receiving a basic education, Ralston went to sea on a ship called the City of Calcutta out of Glasgow, Scotland. After a fouryear apprenticeship, he came home, but soon was on the move once again.

He spent a year in a lumber camp in Michigan and followed that with another year as a newspaper reporter.

He then turned to the sale of real estate for a time and then began to read law at night while he worked during the day. He would never practice law, but he would always claim its study helped him in his later activities.

Along the way, he married Anna Mar of Caledonia, Ontario. They had four children, three of whom lived to adulthood.

By the turn of the century, Joseph Ralston was working in Chicago for a large manufacturer of railroad cars.

To anyone who lives in central Ohio today and arrives at a railroad crossing — with dozens of coal cars passing by — it may come as some surprise to learn there was a time not all that long ago when most of those coal cars did not exist. At the turn of the 20th century, the railroads were some of the most powerful corporations in America. But for all of that, most freight was still moved in wooden cars: box cars, tank cars or open top “gondola” cars. Many of these cars had to be unloaded by hand.

Joseph Ralston, working with a young engineer named Anton Becker, developed plans for a new type of car. The entire car would be made of durable steel and would have a series of 16 trap doors along its bottom to permit coal or anything else to be quickly unloaded.

Building a sample car, the two young inventors demonstrated their product to some railroads that hauled a lot of coal. Several of them in Columbus said they would buy the new car if the inventors could find a place to manufacture it. They did just that.

The Rarig Engineering Co. had been in business for some time at a distance from downtown Columbus along the rail lines that came into town from the east. Rarig had

it with a new building. And while all of this was happening, it continued to build steel cars.

Between 1906 and 1911, the company built more than 10,000 of the new cars and soon found them shipped to all parts of the world. As just one example, in 1909, the company sold 50 of its cars to the South Manchurian Railway and sent the entire consignment to China in pieces, packed in crates.

Over the years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. built not only a factory but an entire community on the East Side of Columbus. The area sat on the north side of the rail yards to the east of Milo Grogan. It was a self-contained world with most of its residents earning their livelihoods at the great factory.

Joseph Ralston died in 1920.

F. E. Simons led the company from 1920 to 1935 and he was followed by Frank Livingston in the years after World War II. Through all of those years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. was one of the great industrial businesses of Columbus.

Changes in America’s rail transport business after World War II made the company less competitive and it went out of business in 1953.

If you visit the near East Side of Columbus today it is still not all that difficult to find the streets and structures and other traces of the Ralston Steel Car Co. — a truly great American enterprise.

FOR YOUR OLD FRIDGE

The Ralston Steel Car Co. in 1909.

had some success making engines for industrial use, boilers, and even the superstructure for iron bridges.

In the years before the Spanish American War, the company decided that its future lay in what we would today call “defense contracts.” The Navy was expanding in size and influence. The Army was more involved in more places more frequently, as well. All of these people would need heavyduty artillery and the ordnance carriages to hold them.

With outbreak of the Spanish American War, the company converted to wartime production in the confident assumption that the war would last for some time.

The war lasted for 90 days. Not long thereafter, for a number of reasons, the company went out of business.

It was at this fortuitous moment that Joseph Ralston and Anton Becker came to town looking for a factory location. They found the Rarig site.

Beginning in 1905, Ralston and his financial backers began a process that was nothing short of amazing. Rarig Engineering had a big factory building but little about it had anything to do with building rail cars. The new company took the building and began to build rail cars. While this went on, it completely gutted the interior of the old building and then proceeded to build a brand new building several hundred feet long to accommodate an assembly line to produce rail cars.

When all of that was done, the company then went back and tore down the old building and replaced

‘Bowl for Kids’ Sake’

Fundraisers will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters

By NATE ELLIS ThisWeek Community Newspapers A longstanding fundraiser to benefit a Fairfield County child-mentoring organization will come to Pickerington next month for the second straight year.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Fairfield County Inc. will host its “Bowl for Kids’ Sake” fundraiser April 16 and 17 at Rule(3), a Pickerington bowling alley-restaurant-fun center at 650 Windmiller Drive.

The events, which are slated for noon and 2 p.m. on April 16 and 2 p.m. on April 17, will mark the second straight year the fundraisers will be held in Pickerington in addition to similar events held earlier this year in Lancaster.

Big Brothers Big Sisters currently is seeking four- and six-person teams and sponsors for the event, which serves as its largest fundraiser of the year.

The registration deadline is April 11. Prospective participants and sponsors can sign up online at www.bbbsfairfieldoh.org, by calling Big Brothers Big Sisters of Fairfield County at (740) 687-9477 or by mailing their registrations or donations to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Fairfield County, P.O. Box 962, 111 S. Broad St., Suite 106, Lancaster, Ohio 43130.

“This is the signature fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations across the country,” said Anna Tobin, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters Fairfield County. “Our goal is to raise $40,000 this year between all

of our Bowl for Kids’ Sake events.

“We’re hoping for about $10,000 to $12,000 from the Pickerington event,” she said. “All of that money will stay here in the local community.”

Those wishing to participate will pay $30 per person, or $50 per person if they wish to receive a T-shirt commemorating the event.

Participants then will receive a packet that will provide instructions about soliciting sponsors or pledges for the fundraiser.

“Supporters give a flat fee, and all the donations are tax-deductible,” Tobin said. “Bowlers collect that money and bring it on the day they bowl.

“Donations also can be made using our online tool.”

Any team that raises $650 or more will receive a pizza party while they

bowl. A variety of prizes also will be given to the teams that raise the most money.

Money from the events will fund Big Brothers Big Sisters’ local youthmentoring programs and help the organization match area children with

teen or adult mentors.

Last year, Tobin said, Big Brothers Big Sisters served 232 children in Fairfield County. Thirty-seven percent of those children were from the Pickerington and Reynoldsburg areas, she said.

“We’re still working within four Pickerington schools and we have two other site-based programs in the area, as well as offering community-based mentoring,” Tobin said. “We’re hoping these kids are going to be matched up and develop relationships that will help them through their challenges in life and get them on the path to success.

“Bowl for Kids’Sake is a great cause because if we’re helping to support our children, we all benefit.” nellis@thisweeknews.com

A Cappella Fest will feature local performers

By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers After a successful debut, the Columbus A Cappella Fest is moving to a larger venue.

Event organizer and Bexley resident Steve Keyes said that after last year’s performances at Bexley High School, the second Columbus A Cappella Fest will be held March 26 at the Lincoln Theater, 769 E. Long St. “The outpouring of support and interest was so strong we wanted to step up to a major venue, the Lincoln Theater,” Keyes said. “It makes it more accessible as a Columbus-wide type of event. We are excited to be there.”

While the first A Cappella Fest was

a two-day event, this year performances will take place on a single day at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Keyes said that move will help reduce costs.

“We thought it would be good to have one afternoon and one evening performance,” he said.

Scheduling two performances also made it possible for two popular groups to participate.

Test of Time, a quartet of men who perform in the barbershop style in the senior citizen division around Ohio, will sing in the 2 p.m. show, Keyes said.

The Eastmoor Academy Mixed Ensemble is only available for the 8 p.m. show. The group, which began traveling and performing in 2000, features 40 high school students both male

The Helping Hands Health and Wellness Center free clinic, which recently expanded services and hours thanks to financial support from Catholic churches in the Northland area, will get another boost this summer.

The four-year-old clinic, which operates out of the Haimerl Center on Morse Road, was announced last week as the nonprofit organization that will benefit from proceeds at the seventh annual Northland Area Business Association Golf Tournament.

The business organization’s largest fundraiser event of the year will return to the York Golf Club, 7459 N. High St., on Monday, Aug. 8.

The outing has become a success story for both NABA and the nonprofits selected for the past five years to receive 20 percent of the event’s net proceeds, according to Paul Weber, a member of the association’s board of trustees.

The naming of the charity chosen by the tournament committee, along with some of the details of the event, were announced at last week’s quarterly luncheon meeting of the Northland business organization.

“This is one that has worked out well, and it also helps with fellowship and business-to-business,” said Weber, who served as master of ceremonies for the gather-

ing at Monaco’s Palace and Catering.

“We’re really looking forward to it,” NABA past president Dave Cooper said.

The Hadler Cos., owners of the Columbus Square Shopping Center and Columbus Square Bowling Palace, will once again this year be the “Platinum Sponsor” for the golf outing, according to Cooper. He urged other businesses to come on board in sponsoring the tournament, saying it was a way to help increase awareness by being included on programs and posters.

Helping Hands executive director Joyce Bourgault thanked NABA members for selecting the clinic as the tournament’s 2011 nonprofit partner.

The clinic began by offering free medical care to the uninsured, Bourgault explained, but recently added hours as well as counseling and other social services

thanks to a grant of $40,000 to $50,000 a year for the next three years from the Northland Deanery.

Helping Hands also offers assistance with tax preparation through the Ohio Benefits Bank, she said.

“We really appreciate all your support, and look forward to seeing you at the golf tournament,” Bourgault said.

Previous nonprofits to benefit from the tournament, Cooper said, were Big Brothers Big Sisters, the YMCA, Heritage Day Health Center and last year the Bair Foundation, a nonprofit Christian foster care agency with an office on East Dublin Granville Road.

The Aug. 8 fundraiser includes not only golf but also live and silent auctions, Cooper said.

The day will begin with registration at 11 a.m. and a shotgun start at noon. Cocktails will be served and awards handed out starting at 5:30 p.m. Individual registration for golfers is $125; the cost is $500 for a foursome.

“Please keep that date open,” Cooper urged NABA members.

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department will offer an all-day summer day camp for children beginning in June.

Department director Jason Shamblin said the Reynoldsburg Adventure Camp will provide children with a variety of fun and educational activities all day during the summer months.

He said the program grew out of a need to have a summer day camp that could provide working families with a safe, fun place for their children during the week.

“We run a playground program that runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., but it doesn’t run the entire summer. As we talked to people, really, there was a need for more of an all-day program,” Shamblin said.

“Our society has changed … With so many working families in our community, it’s become more difficult for them to utilize that program, so it’s time to adapt to their needs,” he said.

The Reynoldsburg Adventure Camp will run from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at Blacklick Woods Metro Park. Shamblin said before- and after-camp care will be available from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

He said participants will also have opportunities to form new friendships and discover new strengths.

“Each day will be a true adventure as children participate in various hands-on activities, such as nature exploration, sports activities, crafts projects, drama programs, exciting field trips to local attractions and more,” Shamblin said.

He said the hope is when children come home from the camp, they will be more self-reliant, selfsufficient and bubbling over with self-confidence.

He emphasized that the camp is not a day care. He said similar programs exist in some form in other communities in central Ohio and have proven to

A Pickerington man accused of abusing his 3-month-old daughter remained in the Fairfield County jail as of ThisWeek’s press time on Tuesday.

Jeremy Snyder, 25, of Pickerington, was being held on $50,000 bond after pleading not guilty to two counts of felonious assault and two counts of child endangering.

Snyder was arrested on March 10 after Pickerington police were called to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus to investigate how a 3-month-old girl suffered three fractured ribs, “substantial” hematoma, and bleeding behind

her eyes, according to Pickerington Police Sgt. Greg Annis.

Police interviewed Snyder and the child’s mother.

“The hospital indicated the nature of the injuries to the child were consistent with abusive treatment,” Annis said. “The father then stated to us he had handled the child roughly.

“From all the information we were able to gather, (the mother) did not know about the abuse going on,” he said.

The baby was taken to the hospital around 10 p.m. on March 8 after having what appeared to be a seizure, Annis said.

“From what the doctor said, the injuries the child sustained … had this sort of treatment

form a couple of songs with student groups, demonstrating that A Cappella music “melds the generations.”

“We can all learn songs and share the joy of music together,” Keyes said.

Columbus School for Girls’ Grace Notes will perform at the festival. The group started performing three years ago, squeezing in practice time before and after school and on their breaks, said director Gail Kopetz. The ensemble is now part of the curriculum.

“They were excited about singing in a small group of girls who were passionate about vocal excellence, having fun and trying many different varieties of repertoire from show tunes to jazz, to sacred, gospel and traditional choral,” she said.

continued, it could very well be fatal,” he said.

Annis said hospital officials told him the baby is expected to recover.

In addition to the criminal probe, Fairfield County Children’s Services is investigating to determine if the child should be returned to her home with her mother.

According to Fairfield County Municipal Court officials, an attorney had not been appointed to represent Snyder as of Friday afternoon.

A preliminary hearing for the criminal case is scheduled at 2:45 p.m. March 18 nellis@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The Grace Notes were invited to participate by Sandra Mathias, director of the Columbus Children’s choir. Proceeds from the musical festival will benefit the Children’s Choir.

Kopetz said A Cappella music is challenging and the perfect tool for educating and training young musicians.

“They have to listen very carefully, learn how to weave their phrases together, tune chords, balance their parts and blend together as perfectly as possible,” she said.

Other acts are The Scioto Valley Chorus, a 60-member female barbershop chorus and the 16-member Columbus Children’s Choir Bellissima.

“It’s not a day care, it’s a summer camp for children in first grade up through eighth grade, so they have to have completed kindergarten,” he said of potential campers.

Field trips will be offered each week to a different destination. None are definite yet, but Shamblin said they might include visits to such places as the Columbus Zoo, COSI or a water park.

Summer camp sessions begin Monday, June 13, and will run each week through Sept. 2. Fees for Reynoldsburg residents are $140 per week per child for the first child and $120 per week for each additional child.

Non-resident fees are $160 per week per child for the first child and $140 per week for each additional child.

Before- and after-camp care will cost an additional $35 per week per child.

Shamblin said the program fee includes a special summer camp T-shirt and any field trip admission costs.

Registration forms will be available on the city’s website at www.ci.reynoldsburg.oh.us after April 15. Information is also available at the Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department at (614) 3226806.

Other members of The GrooveBarbers are Sean Altman, Charlie Evett and Kevin Weist.

“We have way many more songs than we know what to do with,” Keyes said, adding the group will perform rhythm and blues, jazz, rock and and pop music.

“We do a rollicking version of ‘Hang on Sloopy,’” he said. “That is always a big hit here.”

Tax Series IRS debunks frivolous tax arguments WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service released the 2011 version of its discussion and rebuttal of many of the more common frivolous arguments made by individuals and groups that oppose compliance with federal tax laws.

Anyone who contemplates arguing on legal grounds against paying their fair share of taxes should first read the 84-page document, The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments.

The document explains many of the common frivolous arguments made in recent years and it describes the legal responses that refute these claims. It will help taxpayers avoid wasting their time and money with frivolous arguments and incurring penalties.

Congress in 2006 increased the amount of the penalty for frivolous tax returns from $500 to $5,000. The increased penalty amount applies when a person submits a tax return or other specified submission, and any portion of the submission is based on a position the IRS identifies as frivolous.

The 2011 version of the IRS document includes numerous recently decided cases that continue to demonstrate that frivolous positions have no legitimacy.

Frivolous arguments include contentions that taxpayers can refuse to pay income taxes on religious or moral grounds by invoking the First Amendment; that the only “employees” subject to federal income tax are employees of the federal government; and that only foreign-source income is taxable.

In addition, the document highlights cases involving injunctions against preparers and promoters of Form 1099-Original Issue Discount schemes, and the imposition of criminal and civil penalties on taxpayers who claimed they were not citizens of the United States for federal income tax purposes.

‘Old Barn’ remains Young at heart We are in the final days of one of my favorite times of the year — the district and regional boys basketball tournaments in the Fairgrounds Coliseum.

Davidson’s Delande named Super 12 captain

By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Hilliard Davidson’s Chase Delande went 46-2 this season, capped with the Division I state title at 145 pounds.

Although Chase Delande of the Hilliard Davidson High School wrestling team won the Division I state title at 145 pounds, he’s still going to be treated like the younger brother of Bo and Spencer.

Both Bo Delande, a 2007 Davidson graduate, and Spencer Delande, a 2009 graduate, were state qualifiers as seniors, but neither made the kind of run the youngest Delande did at the state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State. Chase went 4-0, defeating Massillon Perry’s Tanner Lemon 9-4 in the championship match.

Although his older brothers may not have won a state title, they had an influence on Chase getting one.

“Being the youngest brother,

they would beat up on me sometimes,” said Chase, who has been named captain of the 2010-11 ThisWeek Super 12 wrestling team. “I think that’s what helped me a lot. It made me mentally stronger. I could take a beating.”

Spencer often came to the practice room this season to help train his younger brother. With Spencer having a nearly 50pound weight advantage, Chase had a difficult time trying to control his brother.

And for Chase, control was what it was all about.

“He’s great at turning people over,” coach Dominic DiSabato said. “He’s a strong kid even though he may not look like it.

He’s tough. He’s really physical and he has that football player mentality where he’s going to See SUPER 12, page B2

Hutchins earns first-team selection for Indians Canal Winchester senior Brady Hutchins, a 125pounder, garnered first-team Super 12 honors.

Not only did Hutchins earn a 50-8 record but he did so in dominating fashion, pinning 41 opponents, which ranks him ninth on Ohio’s all-time season leader list. For his career, Hutchins compiled a 156-48 record with 113 pins. His career pin total ranks 12th on Ohio’s all-time list and his win total was one shy of Seth Morton’s program record for career wins.

“By earning six points with every pin, Brady has accounted for hundreds of team points

for us,” coach Trent Brooks said.

“Brady was an allaround dream to coach and he set the tempo for our team both on and off the mat.”

Hutchins finished first in the Cambridge Invitational on Dec. 4, the Watkins Memorial Invitational on Feb. 5 and the Division II sectional Feb. 19 at Licking Heights. After placing second at district, he went 1-2 at state for a third consecutive season.

“You need your seniors to be

good leaders and play well to be successful, and that’s what our seniors did for us,” Riggs said.

Only one starter, junior forward Austin Whitlach, is expected to return. But several valuable backups also are expected to return, including freshman point guard Shemar

“We have some good juniors and a strong freshman class, so the cupboard definitely isn’t going to be bare next year,” Jones said.

The only central Ohio wrestler to capture a state title this season, Chase Delande earned his 100th career victory in his match against Lemon.

The junior finished the season 46-2. His only losses came against Mentor Lake Catholic’s Matt Fee at the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Holiday Tournament, which concluded Dec. 30.

After that tournament, Delande was unbeatable.

He swept through the OCC-Central Division dual matches, defeated Grove City’s Robert Coles 140 to win the Marysville sectional title Feb. 19 and defeated Olentangy Liberty’s Ethan Snyder 10-4 to win a district title Feb. 26.

The state title gave Delande a state championship in two sports. He was a cornerback for the Davidson football team when it won the Division I state title in 2009.

“In wrestling, it’s more of a thrill,” Delande said of winning a state championship. “In football, it’s a long game, two hours. In wrestling, it’s six minutes and all eyes are on you.”

Club Hockey

Storm’s state title is GCHSCHL’s third in four years

By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

It almost seems as if the state club tournament is becoming an extension of the Greater Columbus High School Club Hockey League’s Blue Jackets Cup. The league produced its third state champion in four years when Northeast defeated Newark 2-1 in the final of the seventh annual Buckeye Cup on March 13 in Canton.

It also was the second time in three years that two GCHSCHL teams played for the title.

“It was a really great weekend for our league,” Newark coach Don Jennings said. “If we were going to lose to anyone, I’m glad it was to Northeast. They’ve got a lot of good seniors on that team and they played very strong. It’s well deserved.”

The Storm captured its first state championship by winning all five games at the three-day event, which featured four teams apiece from the GCHSCHL, the Cleveland-based North Coast High School Hockey League and the Cincinnati High School Hockey League.

The tournament used the five-point system for pool play, awarding one point for each period a team won and two more for a game victory. Teams split the point when a period ended in a tie.

The Storm opened with a pair of one-goal victories in pool play before defeating Liberty Township Lakota East of the CHSHL 4-0 in its third game, totaling 12.5 out of a possible 15 points to earn the third seed in the semifinals behind Newark (13.5) and Jackson (13) of the NCHSHL. Northeast also posted a 3-2 victory

over Medina of the NCHSHL and a 43 win over Bellbrook of the CHSHL. The fourth semifinalist was Medina (10), which advanced by winning a tiebreaker over Hilliard. The Wildcats, who captured their first Blue Jackets Cup title last month, went 21 in pool play and also scored 10 points. A 4-3 loss to Jackson in their second game proved to be their undoing.

Four of the top six teams in pool play were from the Columbus league.

PRPC, which won the GCHSCHL’s regular-season title, went 2-1 and totaled 9.5 points to finish sixth.

“We only got one point out of our second game and that really hurt us,” PRPC coach Joe Tonello said of a 3-2 loss to Mason of the CHSHL. “We had opportunities, putting 44 shots on their goaltender, but they just got one more goal than we did.

“At the end of the day, though, we’re glad to see two teams from our league playing for the state championship.”

In the semifinals, Newark defeated Medina 4-3 when Clay Beckholt scored the lone goal in a shootout and Northeast eliminated Jackson 2-1.

Tyler Wickiser, a senior forward from New Albany, scored in every game for the Storm. He redirected a shot from Colin Laviola to give the Storm a 1-0 lead in the final.

The Generals countered with a goal from Matt Congos in the second period.

Kohl Fixari, whose father, Mark, is coach of the Storm, scored the decisive goal in the third period. Wickiser’s younger brother, Ryan, was the starting goaltender in all five games and had little margin for error as the Storm won four of its five games by one goal.

The four GCHSCHL participants combined for a 10-2 record in pool

play and their point total was 45.5 compared with the NCHSHL’s 34.5 and the CHSHL’s 10.

During the GCHSCHL’s regular season, the Storm finished third and Newark was fourth. The Generals won the state title in 2009 by defeating PRPC in the championship game. Athens won the GCHSCHL’s first state championship in 2008.

“It was an incredible game,” Jennings said of this year’s final. “It was just what you’d expect from two Columbus teams. We were clearly the superior league, and I don’t really see that changing in the near future.”

Earlier this week, the Storm still was deciding whether it would participate in the national club tournament that begins Tuesday, March 22, in Chicago.

Continued from page B1 to work with Bill and I miss his friendship, but my wife, Nancy, and I still have Bill’s wife, Polly, to share stories with and that is a treasure to us.

“Polly is just as much a fixture at the (Fairgrounds) that Bill was and we love having her with us at the games. I also am so blessed to have had Nancy right by my side through all these years. She has been such a help to me. She has shared her honest opinion on things involving the tournament and has been so great in helping me remember to get all the little things done.”

Much like the things I have written about the Fairgrounds and the thrills of the games played in this historic building, Young said it is the consistency that keeps these days so enjoyable.

“You come back year after year and you see the same people in the same places,” Young said. “I have had the benefit of having guys like Dave Siess and Steve Kull working in the same position for every year. I

see the same people on press row and it even goes so far that I can look at certain seats in the stands and see the same fans in those seats. Can you imagine if those seats could talk? What stories they could tell. What a history they could send to us of all the things that have happened since the first state tournament was held here in 1923. Some people call this the ‘Old Barn’ and maybe that is what it is, but this ‘Old Barn’ has been a great place for me to work for a long time.”

Thanks to Ralph and Nancy Young for making the Fairgrounds a great place to be for many years. There is no doubt that both will always be part of the high school basketball tournament family.

They earned it. Best of life always.

I’ll see you at the Fairgrounds.

Vino Vino in Grandview; so nice they named it twice When I first wrote about Vino Vino around five years ago, the little Grandview hub had a lot of buzz about it. Well, frankly, I hadn’t heard much Vino Vino talk lately. After a few recent visits, I think I know why: Its many patrons are trying to keep this terrific place (and its brashly flavored, artfully plated dishes sold at really great prices) all to themselves.

Comfy, urbane, sophisticated, casual — these were the adjectives that popped into my brain as Brazilian music played (a much appreciated Vino Vino mainstay) and I perused the lengthy vino list.

The wine-named place has a few flights with grinning descriptions, a ton of bottles that range from an unoaked Chilean chard (Cousino Macal, $22) to a big Barolo (Marcarini, $80) and lots of foodfriendly juice in between.

Salads are certainly solid here. The Charleston ($6) is one of those walnut and Maytag blue cheese numbers, but nicely done — with earthy julienned veggies and a lightly applied bright vinai-

Northland welcomes Nigerian restaurant on Cleveland Ave. Esther Ajiboye thinks Columbus is ready for something many residents rarely, if ever, have tried: Nigerian cuisine.

Ajiboye and her husband Olawale have opened Intercontinental Restaurant, a 30-seat eatery in the Northland area.

Opening day two weeks ago, the restaurant served 200 customers. Since then, a steady stream of diners has flowed

through Intercontinental, supping on such dishes as plantains with spinach, goat meat with mixed okra stew and fish pepper soup.

“We’ve been very busy,” Mrs. Ajiboye said.

The reason, she suspects, is the

paucity of Nigerian restaurants in the region. In fact, she claims that Intercontinental, 5777 Cleveland Ave., is the only one in the state. Also in its favor are the healthful aspects of the cuisine — nothing is deep-fried — and the price. All meals start out at $7.99. Prices go up if customers ask for extra portions.

Esther and Olawale Ajiboye have opened Intercontinental Restaurant featuring Nigerian cuisine at 5777 Cleveland Ave.

it.”

Both Ajiboyes are from the western part of Nigeria, where each owned a restaurant.

“Cooking brought us together,” Mrs. Ajiboye said. “Food brought us together.”

“This is the first time we are working together,” her husband said. “I enjoy it. She’s a good cook.”

Columbus is no stranger to regional African cuisines, offering a wide variety of styles: Figs Café (a mix of Ghanaian and Western fare), Blue Nile (Ethiopian) and Solay Bistro (Somali), for example.

Mr. Ajiboye said many of the restaurant’s West African dishes, such as jollof rice, are shared throughout most of the continent.

One of the most popular dishes at Intercontinental is moi moi, made from a base of black-eyed peas that are soaked, peeled, cooked and pureed, and seasoned with a variety of ingredients. After it is boiled in foil and firms up into a loaf, the moi moi is cut into pieces to be eaten on their own or served with meat. Another big seller is egusi soup, made of melon seeds, and often served with a ball of pounded yam, where diners peel off pieces of the globe and dip it into the soup as they eat.

Mrs. Ajiboye said the spice level of the dishes is mild and suited to most diners but there is a

habanero salsa served tableside for those who want a spicy condiment.

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614-843-5665.

Spain Restaurant is opening a second site in Lewis Center.

The Spanish eatery, a Northland staple for 12 years, will take over the site most recently occupied by Beebs Deli, 76 Powell Road.

The 3,500-square-foot building, which will seat around 100 people, is just west of U.S. Route 23.

The menu and pricing structure will remain largely unchanged, said general manager Luis Aguilar. A specific opening date is not certain, but it should be ready within two months.

He said the plan is to keep the current site at 888 E. DublinGranville Road and have a less formal menu.
