Council delays parking permit vote

By CHRIS BOURNEA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington City Council voted 5-1 May 23 to postpone until June 6 the third and final reading on legislation to repeal parking restrictions on Brandon and Chester roads and nearby streets.

If approved by council, the ordinance would repeal parking-by-permit restrictions on Brandon, Chester and other

streets near the Arlington Commons development at 1750 W. Lane Ave. Numerous residents spoke out at the legislation’s first two readings, saying patrons of the development’s Wine Bistro have been parking in front of their homes, causing congestion, noise and potential safety hazards.

Council president Frank Ciotola said council opted to delay the vote because member Wade Steen was absent.

“I wanted to have the full vote of council,” Ciotola said.

Erik Yassenoff cast the dissenting vote to postpone the legislation, saying he believes council should wait to take action on repealing the parking restrictions until after a traffic study of the area has been completed.

“We’re essentially changing codified law before we see the results of the traffic study,” Yassenoff said.

Assistant city manager Joe Valentino said the traffic study is set to begin this week. Representatives of the Orlando, Fla., office of consulting firm AECOM were scheduled to visit Upper Arlington yesterday (May 25) to take measurements and record data along Lane Avenue and conduct a public meeting.

“We’re looking at mid-June for them to come back and work through some

of the issues with staff, with residents and with council,” Valentino said.

In other business Monday night, council approved emergency legislation to issue $4.8-million in notes to purchase a 5-acre parcel from Echo/Continental Kingsdale LLC to develop 104,000 square feet of office space at the shopping center. The office component represents the second phase of redevelopment at Kingsdale.

Saving on expenditures and a proposed cap on the reduction of state foundation funds will allow Upper Arlington City Schools to delay a deficit fund balance by one year.

Treasurer Andy Geistfeld last updated the school board on the five-year forecast in March, when he provided preliminary numbers in response to Gov. John Kasich’s proposed biennium budget. Geistfeld predicted the district would see its first negative fund balance in fiscal year 2014.

The May five-year forecast, presented to the board May 23, reflects changes made in salaries, benefits and purchased services that will allow the district to delay deficit spending until fiscal year 2015.

Geistfeld said the five-year forecast is a “living, breathing document” that the district is required to submit to the Ohio Department of Education in October and May. The numbers are subject to change when the proposed biennium budget is finalized in June.

“Theoretically, we may not know where things stand with the budget until the last hour,” he said.

In March, Geistfeld forecast a reduction of approximately $4 million in revenue for fiscal year 2012,

based primarily on state budget proposals. House amendments, including a 20percent cap on the reduction Andy of state founGeistfeld dation funds, returned $1.5 million of the proposed cuts.

With the cap in place, Upper Arlington would lose $2.8 million in state funds, which is a reduction of 47 percent.

“This cap makes it less painful for us, based on what I budgeted,” Geistfeld said.

The district has also implemented several cost-cutting measures that will help recover some of the state revenue loss.

In the area of personnel, the district outsourced payroll and human resources functions for substitute teachers to the Central Ohio Education Services Center. This allowed the district to shift $625,000 from payroll to purchased services.

“It’s been a great way to use our subs efficiently and more economically,” he said. “We’ll see a savings by the end of the year.”

Family’s fifth generation still living in Tremont home featured on tour

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Any house is a valuable place for the memories it holds, but the home of Paige and Gerard Schlembach at 2368 Tremont Road has more memories than most.

“It’s the house that I grew up in, and so did my mother,” Paige said. “My children are the fifth generation, since 1940,” to live there, she said. “I have a lot of things in my house that have been a part of my family for a long time — closets full of things from my grandmother, great-grandmother and great-grandfather.”

Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of stories about the homes in the 2011 Upper Arlington Historic Home and Garden Tour, presented by the UA Historical Society from noon-5 p.m. Sunday, June 19. Tickets cost $12 for members; non-members pay $15. Tickets the day of the tour are $20. Tickets are available now at Huffman’s Market, 2140 Tremont Center, and Arlington Bank, 4621 Reed Road. For more information, call 614470-2610 or visit www.uaoh.net/historical and click on events.

Historical Society said Paige is among the three residents who have grown up in a house represented on this year’s Home and Garden Tour.

According to the historical society, the Schlembach home was originally built in 1926 in Classic Revival style and Dutch Colonial, with a gambrel roof

and a sunroom. In 2008, the Schlembachs completed an extensive addition that more than doubled the square footage of the home by using an empty lot next to their home that they owned.

Paige said Gerard and his company, the See HOME, page A2 The house at 2368 Tremont Road will be featured on the tour of homes.

Heydlauff, Catalano to end 12 HOME years of school board service

Millennium Group, built the addition in about a year.

“It was really about making the house our own,” Paige said.

“There were a lot of things that weren’t a part of the (original) house — for instance, a family room or a great room. There was a very small kitchen. There was no central air, so we added those sorts of things (and) some outdoor patios.”

Because history is so important to Paige, the renovations kept within the original character of the home. For example, they matched the limestone and wood design elements on the exterior, and matched the red oak floors on the interior. The family now likes to hang out in the great room where the television is, or in the library.

Paige Schlembach had some advice for those contemplating a similar home addition.

“When we originally discussed doing this and we knew we were going to do it, we were going to live in the house,” she said. “We decided at the last minute to rent a place and not live in it, and that would be my big suggestion to people: If you can move out and not live inside of the home while doing the renovations, then do that. It made it so much easier.”

proximately $1.7 million over the next five years, and the elimination of the all-day kindergarten mandate reduces personnel costs by an estimated $1.5 million.

Geistfeld said the district has also taken steps to reduce benefit and utility costs. As a result of negotiations with OAPSE and UAEA, employees will begin to pay a larger portion of the premium for health care. The district locked into a group rate with other central Ohio districts for electricity, and already participates in a natural gas consortium.

With the proposed 20-percent reduction cap and the district’s cost-saving efforts, revenue will still exceed expenditures for this year.

“We are fortunate to have a positive year four years out from a levy, but with increasing deficit spending, our fund balance will quickly get eaten away,” Geistfeld said. “This is important as we start having levy discussions at the next board meeting. The longer you wait to do a levy, the more expensive it gets.”

A larger fund balance will allow the district to ask for less millage, he said.

Board president Marjory Pizzuti said she wants to make sure the community understands “you pay now or you pay later.”

“We’ve been responsible, exceedingly responsible, with the way we have budgeted and expended our resources so that we’re in a good place. This will allow us to request the lowest possible millage,” she said.

Geistfeld said prudent planning for the future will also ensure the district maintains its Standard & Poor’s AAA bond rating, which can offer millions of dollars in savings over the life of a bond.

Geistfeld and Superintendent Jeffrey Weaver will recommend a millage amount for the November 2011 levy at the board’s June 13 meeting.

“When we do go out for a levy, it will be an amount that we can certainly justify for our citizens,” Weaver said. “It will still enable us to protect ourselves, and not have to go for the 6.9, the 7.9 and the 9.9 levies we see around us.” khetrick@thisweeknews.com

“This is a tremendously exciting event,” city council member Ed Seidel said. “It’s so nice to be able to share a new facility and green space with our city.”

Bob Ness, incoming Upper Arlington Community Foundation board chair, opened the ceremony by welcoming the crowd.

“The opportunity to combine this historically significant structure with public space for everyone’s enjoyment was what really inspired the community foundation,” Ness said. “I’m so thankful to all of the donors. We managed to raise over two-thirds of the money for the project before completing it, thanks to the more than 250 families that donated.”

Ness said that the foundation is still working to raise the final $125,000 necessary to pay off the project debt. According to the foundation and city officials, the project was completed under budget and on time.

City council member Mary Ann Krauss, also a member of the foundation board, said she was surprised by how quickly the project came together.

“We had the historic, handcrafted beams of this barn, and we had a beautiful new park, but we had no idea how quickly it would all come together,” Krauss said.

“This is the largest gift given to our city by an one entity. Today we celebrate the opening of the barn, and the can-do attitude of the people of Upper Arlington.”

The barn features 3,700 square feet of interior space available for event rental as well as an outdoor garden and amphitheater, which was used for Saturday’s ceremony and will be the permanent home of the city’s Music in the Park series.

Outgoing Upper Arlington Community Foundation board chair Debbie Phillips Bower presented city manager Virginia Barney with a ceremonial, hand-carved key.

“To see all of the kids here, the community here, that is what this is all about — community and family — I think that is exactly what makes Upper Arlington so special,” Bower said.

Ness agreed with Bower.

“It’s been a great opportunity for the Upper Arlington Community Foundation to create this permanent fixture for the community that anchors the foundation further in the city, and it’s going to be a great facility for both young and old alike,” Ness said. “I’ve found that by giving what I can to this organization, I get so much back from the people I meet in our community.”

After accepting the key to the barn from Bower, Barney led the crowd in a cheer of U-A-O-H. “I’m so delighted to accept this gift, I’m sure this key will open up wonderful opportunities for our community,” Barney said.

Event reservations for the Amelita Mirolo Barn can be scheduled through the city’s Parks and Recreation Department. For more information, visit www.uaoh.net.

Longtime Upper Arlington school board members Gloria M. Heydlauff and William A. Catalano have announced they will not seek re-election this fall.

“It is now time for us to step down and pursue other opportunities,” they wrote in a letter dated May 16. “Therefore, we will not be candidates for the board of education in November.”

“Their experience and wisdom will be missed,” said Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey W. Weaver.

“Being longtime residents of the district, they looked out for the best interest of the students.”

“Gloria and Bill’s 12 years of service has truly been beyond measure,” said school district spokesman Dan Donovan. “It’s been nothing short of exemplary the work they’ve done for the community, the schools, the students, the staff members.”

Catalano could not be reached for further comment, but Heydlauff said, “It’s been wonderful serving with Bill and the other board members. It’s been a very collegial relationship among the five of us. We bring different skills and backgrounds, but we’ve always been willing to talk and

a challenge,” Heydlauff said.

“We will see some of our leadership retiring over the next few years, and our William new board Catalano members will have to do a search to bring other people who will continue the leadership of our district.

“Because our buildings are older, you have to constantly think about that, and we do work on the various schools and facilities so they’re well-maintained. Those things are always going to be out there.”

Heydlauff said it was a hard decision to step down.

“I was incredibly honored to serve as long as I have in the district, but my children are adults and I am involved in a couple of other organizations where I’m going to take on leadership positions, so I just decided it was probably time for me to move on,” she said. “It’s a bittersweet thing for me, and if it’s possible and I’m wanted, I would be happy to help out in other ways around the district.” gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

work together, and most of the time, come to a consensus.”

In their letter, Catalano and Heydlauff Gloria noted that durHeydlauff ing their three terms, “the board has successfully hired an outstanding superintendent (Weaver) who has continued to inspire the implementation of the International Baccalaureate Diploma and Middle Years Programmes, to promote the study and integration of 21st century skills across the curriculum, and to provide exemplary leadership and support for every member of the school community. Furthermore, the board also hired a quality treasurer (Andrew Geistfeld) with whose guidance our district has maintained consistent, sound, and fiscally responsible management of our resources.”

Heydlauff said the community has supported school levies in recent years, and hopes that continues in November.

Library board hears of effects legislation will likely have locally

By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington Public Library officials are concerned about how recent state legislation will affect their budget process and next year’s anticipated levy request.

The UAPL board of trustees and Lynda Murray, director of government and legal services at the Ohio Library Council, spent much of the May 17 meeting discussing the upcoming levy campaign.

Next spring, the library plans to place a levy on the ballot to either renew or replace the current operating levy, approved by voters in 2007. It is due to expire in 2012.

According to library director Ann Moore, the levy represents 54 percent of the library’s budget.

The Ohio Library Council is an advocate for public libraries and is comprised of public and private library institutions and library related boards, vendors and organizations, according to its website.

The board invited Murray to provide information about legislative changes that affect the library’s funding and statistics related to recent library levy campaigns.

The library board and staff are in the process of developing a fiveyear budget through 2017. Dur-

ing the development of the budget, according to Moore, the library has to focus on funding cuts as well as the cuts in the budget, while trying to maintain the current level of service to residents.

Murray said that the library will not benefit from Senate Bill 5, and that other proposed changes meant to save local government entities money also are unlikely to help.

“In the general assembly, they say they’re cutting your expenses through things like S.B. 5, but the (Upper Arlington) library is already a non-union library, so there’s no benefit,” Murray said. “House Bill 66 removes the (Tangible Personal Property) tax contribution for libraries receiving less than 6 percent, which includes (Upper Arlington). Also, the changes to the pension system are currently on hold (in the legislature), so there’s not going to be any savings from that yet.”

Under House Bill.153, Murray said, the Public Library Fund is being reduced by 6.5 percent and then frozen at the 2011 funding levels, even if the state’s budget grows. Murray also said that under House Bill 194 there are proposed fee increases for county elections, which could result in libraries paying up front for ballot issues, such as UAPL’s planned upcoming levy request.

Moore expressed concern that patrons are not aware of the cuts the library has already had to make.

“We’ve done everything we can not to be punitive in our cuts,” Moore said. “I’m worried that we’ve done such a good job of making the cuts transparent that we’re going to have trouble with the levy.”

Ohio Library Council research, according to Murray, shows that since the cuts in library funding between 2008 through 2010, more than 70 percent of levies have passed. However, she said, the research shows that patrons notice cuts in materials the most.

“At a Columbus library focus group of once-a-week or more library patrons, these patrons knew how materials went through the weeding process, something most library staff doesn’t even know, so that they could get the newest materials first,” Murray said. “But most of them didn’t know or really understand how the library was funded.”

Board trustee William Shkurti thanked Murray for her participationbefore the board concluded its discussion about the library budget and levy campaign.

The next board meeting will be at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 21, in meeting room B on the lower level of the Tremont library branch.

Wall of Honor event positive, inspirational To the editor: The Upper Arlington Historical Society, in partnership with the city of Upper Arlington, held another delightful Wall of Honor induction ceremony on May 22.

Many people say it is their favorite event of the year, because

it is so positive, honoring a past influential resident of our community. And this year was no exception. Seven people spoke of the positive and lasting impact John Elam had on their lives and those of others.

We would like to thank Emma

Speight, Suzanne Beach, Tim Moloney, and Kathy Shelton with the city of UA for the role they played in helping to make this event such a success.

As it were

Memorial Day 1911: Parades, services, decoration of graves It was a rainy Sunday in Columbus on the weekend before Memorial Day in 1911. But that did not stop a lot of people from “making an excursion” to the city.

According to a local newspaper of the time, more than 5,000 people arrived in the city by train and interurban railway from places as distant as C l ev e l a n d , Cincinnati and Parkersburg,W. Va. They came to see the sites, visit local amusement parks and ED shop in the stores of the LENTZ capital city.

Among the more popular sites were the Statehouse, the campus of Ohio State University and the institutions for the blind, the deaf, the mentally ill and the criminally penitent.

This was, after all, the weekend before Memorial Day and one might assume that people were simply celebrating a long threeday weekend.

But that is not what they were doing at all.

In 1911, Memorial Day was celebrated on May 30 — no matter what day of the week it might happen to be. In 1911, it happened to be Tuesday, so most of these people seeking, as one reporter put it, “spots where cooling breezes ought to blow” or “places where inspiring liquors ought to flow” had a nice day in the capital city, boarded their trains and left central Ohio for a working day on Monday in their hometowns.

While most people in Columbus went about their business on Monday, May 29, several dozen others were working furiously to prepare for the holiday that was only one day away.

And there was a lot of work to do.

Local veterans and civic organizations combined with social service organizations to plan and prepare a full day of activities for Memorial Day. It was begun as a day to remember the men who died serving their country in the Civil War, but it also had become increasingly a time to remember veterans of all of America’s wars and a Decoration Day for family plots in America’s cemeteries, as well.

While there were parades to plan and religious services to prepare, most of the real work of Memorial Day involved flowers — lots and lots of flowers. In 1911, the organizers of Memorial Day planned to put an American flag and a bouquet of flowers on the grave of every veteran in the city.

To that end, the school children of Columbus were asked to bring bouquets of flowers to the Franklin County Memorial Hall on Monday, May 29. Because there was some doubt, the public was asked to bring flowers, as well.

Franklin County Memorial Hall, 280 E. Broad St., in 1908.

There was no reason to worry.

By Tuesday morning, there were more than enough flowers to accompany the 2,500 American flags to be placed in cemeteries around the city: “Carnations, roses, peonies and syringa blossoms were the most numerous in the collection.”

At 7:30 a.m. on the morning of Memorial Day, veterans groups met at Memorial Hall in uniform, marched a few blocks to Statehouse Square and boarded streetcars to ride to Green Lawn and Mount Calvary cemeteries. They were soon followed by hundreds of people who joined them at the cemeteries for services.

At 9 a.m., flowers were placed at the McKinley Memorial in front of the Statehouse and at 11 a.m., a 46-gun artillery salute was fired in the Statehouse yard by local soldiers from the Columbus Barracks (now Fort Hayes).

At 1 p.m., local veterans groups, military organizations, marching bands and most of the Columbus Police Department formed up for a march through downtown Columbus. Returning to Memorial Hall, many of the marchers stayed to listen to a program of music and patriotic speeches. Religious services also were held in a number of local churches through the day.

Many people did not stay downtown for all of these events. Some had left town early in the day, since most businesses, schools and offices were closed and the excursion cars to Buckeye Lake, Grig-

gs Dam and local amusement parks were running early and often.

And then there were some people who were not free to attend these events. As one paper put it, “Because it is Memorial Day, and in appreciation of things they have done and may do for their country, prisoners at the Workhouse who are Civil War or SpanishAmerican War veterans, or members of the regular army or national guard, at noon today will be served with a special dinner.

“Although the services for the Civil and Spanish war veterans at the Penitentiary Sunday were attended by 98 former soldiers, but three of them served in the Civil War and 95 during the SpanishAmerican War … The number of Civil War veterans has greatly decreased during the past 10 years, by deaths and pardons. The 98 men have organized Walled City Camp and hold meetings just as the old soldiers do at Memorial Hall.”

Other people attended all or part of the downtown observances and then departed for family gatherings in local parks or on the front porches of their homes. In the evening, the residents of many Columbus neighborhoods gathered for a fireworks celebration and further festivities.

All in all, it was a quite pleasant day for the unofficial beginning of the summer of 1911 in Columbus.

Each year, the women’s club awards a $1,000 scholarship to five high school seniors living in Upper Arlington who plan to attend a four-year college or university. The hallmark of the winners, who were nominated by a guidance counselor, administrator or teacher from their school, is their service to others.

Wickliffe book, DVD document study of the learning process

By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Wickliffe administrators, teachers, parents and students’ hard work has been documented in a new book about the learning process.

“The Ohio Visible Learning Project: Stories from Wickliffe Progressive Community School,” documents the school’s seven-year collaboration with Harvard researchers on the Making Learning Visible project.

Making Learning Visible began under the Harvard Project Zero educational research group, which has a mission to understand and enhance learning, thinking, and creativity in the arts, as well as humanistic and scientific disciplines.

Wickliffe received a $250,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Education in 2005 to fund the project, as well as a 2008 dissemination grant that funded the publishing of the book and an upcoming DVD. The book and DVD are both available, for free, to Ohio educators through Wickliffe school.

Retired Wickliffe principal Fred Burton originally envisioned the project after participating in conferences hosted by Project Zero and the Reggio Institute. Burton retired in 2008 but has remained connected to the project, editing the book and developing the DVD. “How do you make a school that, by all rights is already excellent, even better? That was what I had to find the answer to,” Burton said. “This project captures moments of learning that can then be shared back with the learners themselves and the teachers, creating an opportunity to deepen learning. So part of what we had to figure out was how to actually capture learning in a documentable way.”

One way that current Wickliffe principal Chris Collaros captured these moments was through audio and video recordings of sessions with his teaching staff.

“I applied the process to my teacher observations,” Collaros

A closer look Making Learning Visible began under the Harvard Project Zero educational research group, which has a mission to understand and enhance learning, thinking, and creativity in the arts, as well as humanistic and scientific disciplines.

said. “As soon as I walk out of a classroom I have an audio or video recording of the lesson. Instead of notes that only include my perspective, and take time to compile, I can provide the teachers an immediate, unfiltered version of the lesson.”

Collaros said that the new process gives teachers an active

role in understanding what they can do to improve and provides him with a chance to understand his own questions to help him ask better questions in the future.

The visible learning process is being used not just by teachers and administrators, but with students and parents as well, according to Wickliffe teacher Sabrina Walters.

“As teachers, this has been our chance to do what we ask our kids to do everyday, working in collaboration and being challenged to keep finding new ways to share our knowledge and get better,” Walters said. “I’m so proud of this project, and then to write a book that involved parents volunteering to write chapters and make revision after revision to meet deadlines, it was inspiring.”

One requirement of the dissemination grant included presenting the research at a statewide conference, which took place recently at the Columbus Museum of Art’s new Center for Creativity. Burton, Collaros and Walters are continuing to look for ways to expand the reach of the project, both within Wickliffe and beyond.

“I’m currently working with the Columbus schools and the Center for Creativity to look for ways to use what we learned across our area schools, in the arts and in business,” Burton said. “There is no reason this should end with Wickliffe. These teachers and parents that participated are both great teachers and learners, so even without any other plans, this project will continue to live and expand through them.”

David S. Mastracci, of Upper Arlington, passed away May 11, 2011, at Kobacker House, surrounded by his loving family.

Born March 22, 1933 in Columbus, Ohio. A graduate of Upper Arlington High School, Class of 1951 and later attended the Ohio State University, where he majored in Fine Arts. David proudly served in the United States Army from 1954-1956. Following his discharge, he began working as a graphic illustrator for North American Aviation. After 22 years service, he began working for his good friend, John Mead, at Little Turtle Golf Club. He returned to Rockwell International in 1981, and remained there until the company left Columbus, in 1988.

David continued as a graphic artist for Battelle Memorial Institute, until his retirement in 1998. An avid golfer, David was involved in league play in his early years. He also coached little league football and baseball teams, for Upper Arlington Athletic Association in the 1970’s. David belonged to Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church and was a lifetime member of the Guild Athletic Club, where he served on the Board of Directors. He is preceded in death by his parents Tony and Yolanda Mastracci, granddaughter Sunne Mastracci and beloved aunt Josephine Mastracci. Dave is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Lenore; children, Maria (Eric) Olson, of Clemmons, North Carolina, Michael Mastracci, of Columbus and Tony (Sharon) Mastracci of Chicago; grandchildren, Nicolas, Bella and Enzo Mastracci, and Molly and Brett Olson. He is also survived by his cousins, Sandy and Lou Menduni of Columbus and Alice and Phil Serra of Detroit. A special thanks to Tina Husted of Homecare Plus for her kind and loving assistance.

Michael Brewer has two severed heads and a set of daggers on his bed and a moose head on his dining room table.

It goes with the territory when you’re working on Evil Dead The Musical.

“I’ve been waiting for the scary dreams to start,” Brewer said, only half-joking.

Brewer is set designer for CATCO’s production of Evil Dead The Musical, which opens next week. He said that, from a special-effects standpoint, it’s the biggest show he’s ever done, including operas and large-cast musicals.

“We’re having (production) conversations about a singing beaver,” Brewer said.

The show is a spoof of the popular cult slasher films, CATCO artistic director Steven Anderson, who also directs Evil Dead, told The Beat.

As such, Brewer explained, the effects are designed to be “cool and awesome, but not scary. Believable, but not realistic.”

“It’s a musical,” Anderson added. “We have eight good voices. The show is good fun, good comedy. Folks are going to walk out of the theatre humming the melodies. The other stuff is just icing on the cake.”

Actually, the other stuff is not so much cake decoration but severed body parts (“I’ve spent hours looking for and buying body parts,” Brewer said, ostensibly meaning fake ones) and blood.

Lots of blood. The theatre will include a “Safe Zone” and a “Splatter Zone.”

The splattering blood has been measured at a maximum of 18 feet.

“We’ll be providing protection,” Anderson assured.

Josef Matulich was brought in to be the show’s “blood czar.”

“There’s no such thing as an expert,” Matulich explained. “It’s

more mad inventor status.”

He said he’s worked with a variety of mixtures — that, in addition to the visual effect, the blood formula must also be washable (costumes must last the threeweek run, for example), must be safe enough for actors to be sprayed in the face and needs to not jam the pumps and fixtures used to deliver the blood.

For example, there is a scene in which an actor is stabbed with a dagger that is followed by a song delivered while using a hand pump to pump blood from the “wound.”

“When an actor has to sing and dance while spurting blood, it complicates things,” Matulich said.

Indeed — the functionality of the blood delivery mechanisms impacts more than just the technical aspect of the show.

“The challenge in blocking the show was, whereas normally you are concerned with stage fixtures and the relationships of the ac-

tors, you have to get the actors to where things can happen, but get them there in a way that makes sense,” Anderson explained.

“I’m comfortable we’ve achieved the goal of making it plausible and natural,” Brewer added.

Apart from the times actors are asked to handle certain effects, much of the rest of the bleeding is coordinated from a single workstation under the stage, designed and built by Matulich.

“It’s like a command center with gang valves,” he said. “I’ve discovered more types of plumbing fittings than I knew existed.”

“You start out with an ideal of what you want and then work with the team to discover what you can do,” Anderson said. “I’ve been amazed at how close to ideal you can get.”

New lunch menu unveiled at Sage American Bistro Last week, some lucky tablemates and I basically had Sage all to ourselves for a few terrific lunches.

See, the top-tier North Campus place was attempting to roll out its new midday service slowly and on the down-low.

Yeah, sorry Sage, that’s not likely to happen now that G.A. Loudmouth is on your case. And as word breaks out that Sage is making great soups, salads and lusty, handcrafted sandwiches for only a couple more bucks than fast food, I doubt I’ll be enjoying many more allalone nooners in there again any time soon.

Working from a restrained menu that emphasizes tricked-out familiar sandwiches, Sage’s lunchtime fare is rife with bold, compound bites that wrangle the sweet and spicy, the salty and hearty, the leafy and meaty. And that includes soups and salads because Sage certainly excels in these culinary phases, too.

Take, for instance, a recent Daily Soup ($6) flaunting deeply developed flavors.

Instead of forgettable ephemera, the salads I tried at Sage actually provided me with something memorable to sink my teeth into. For example, “steaky” is not a word generally associated with a pile of greens, but it aptly describes the Grilled Caesar ($7). About half an intact head of smoky and grill-marked romaine was trimmed to its heart and embellished with hard-cooked egg, anchovies and a brashly rich dressing.

The excellent Spring House Salad ($7) elegantly balanced delicate, chopped thin asparagus spears, shallots and a

Barbecue veteran moves center of operations to new restaurant At 34, Stan Riley already is a 17-year veteran of the barbecue industry.

As a junior in high school, Riley began washing dishes for Art Yoho, the man who would become his mentor — and later partner — in the restaurant business.

Yoho, then owner of Yoho’s Café and Catering on Westerville Road in the North Linden area, showed Riley the ropes: how to cook, work the smoker, control food costs and manage labor.

“Everything he taught me, I took with me,” said Riley, who opened his second Holy Smoke Barbecue last week at 5251 N. Hamilton Road near

New Albany.

“We’re in a good place to grow,” he said.

“I needed a commissary and catering facility that also had a retail setting.”

The store, in 2,100 square feet of space that was formerly home to Baja Sol, is more than just a sit-down restaurant: It is now is the barbecue center of his universe. It is where he prepares all the meats for his two eateries (the original is in the North Market) in Southern Pride Smokers located out back.

The space, which seats 50 inside and another 30 outside, is designed in a way that allows customers to take a visual survey of the offerings: a glass case out front houses the brisket, pork, ribs, sausage and chicken, plus a variety of Southern sides.

“Hopefully, you see what you want to eat today and see what you want to eat tomorrow,” he said.

When orders are prepared, patrons

For the time being, there’s Frostop Root Beer on tap, along with other Recipe of the week cold beverages.

Holy Smoke has its own brand of barbecue sauces — “Sweet and Smokey” and “Spicy Chipotle” — available tableside and for retail sale. And, Riley stresses, the ribs are slathered with sauce before serving, unless otherwise specified. He also offers several sauces for retail made by CaJohns Fiery Foods, a specialty-foods manufacturer located in Westerville.

Incidentally, Riley and John Hard, the founder of CaJohns, were partners in the North Market before Hard left to concentrate on his salsas, sauces and spice mixes. He also makes Holy Smoke’s private label.

The new store means the end of an era at the Westerville Road site, from which Riley was doing all of his cooking for the market and catering operations.

Boys Tennis

Doubles teams reach state

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Billy Weldon and teammate Stu Little finished third at the district tournament on May 21.

Over the course of the season, senior Eric Vannatta and sophomore Nate Wallace of the Upper Arlington High School boys tennis team observed how teammates Billy Weldon and Stu Little — the defending Division I state champions in doubles — get ready for the postseason.

At the Division I district tournament May 20-21 at Hilliard Davidson, Vannatta and Wallace put what they learned into practice. The duo finished second, defeating St. Charles’ Grant Dolven and Weston Niermeyer 6-4, 6-3 in a semifinal before losing to Dublin Jerome’s Kent Seitz and Sean Stein 6-4, 7-5 in the final, to advance to the state tournament.

The top four finishers in singles and doubles at district qualified for

state, which will be held Friday, May 27, and Saturday, May 28, at Davidson.

“Little and Weldon are the best.

There’s no doubt we learned a lot from them,” Vannatta said. “We have to find places to put shots where they can’t hit it back and that is really tough, but it has helped us against a lot of other people.”

Weldon and Little also advanced to state, losing to Stein and Seitz — the fourth-place finishers at state last year — 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in a semifinal before defeating Dolven and Niermeyer 6-1, 6-2 in the consolation final to place third. “(Weldon and Little) are really good competition,” Wallace said. “We work hard against them and try to stick with them.”

With two doubles teams moving on to state, UA extended its streak of

having a state qualifier to 53 years.

The Golden Bears also matched the most state qualifiers they have had since 2002.

In the opening round,Vannatta and Wallace will play Lakewood St. Edward’s Mike Swartz and Jeffrey Williams, who finished third in the Northeast District. Little and Weldon will open against Perrysburg’s Jeffrey Schorsch and David Hoops, who were second in the Northwest District.

By qualifying for state, Vannatta and Wallace achieved some redemption. Last year at district, they lost to Davidson’s Ben McClarren and Trent Searfoss 6-2, 6-4 in a statequalifying match.

“Eric and I have been working really hard with it,” Wallace said.

“It’s been our goal to make it to states. We were so close to getting

there last year. Hopefully we can do something now at the state tournament.”

Being the defending state champions, Weldon and Little felt pressure to return to state.

“It’s a different mindset. Last year, we were out in front of everybody trying to prove ourselves,” Little said.

“This year, we have the target on our back. We have to make sure we stay hungry and take care of business.”

Weldon and Little had a challenging draw to get back to state. The duo defeated New Albany’s John Hendrix, who teamed with 2010 graduate Riyad Bennoui to place second at state last year, and Oliver Sybert 6-0, 6-0 in a quarterfinal before facing Seitz and Stein in a semifinal.

Track & Field

Moody leads relay to victory

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Leah Moody, a senior for the Upper Arlington High School girls track and field team, would much rather spend her spring with a baton in her hand than a basketball.

Earlier this spring, she rolled her ankle while playing in a pickup basketball game and spent three weeks recovering from a sprained ankle.

Moody made an impact in the Division I, district 3 meet that concluded May 21 at Hilliard Bradley, as she anchored the 3,200-meter relay of senior Julia Melvin, freshman Dorry Jaffe and junior Olivia Menden to a firstplace finish in 9 minutes, 36.73 seconds.

Baseball

Bears looking to build upon bright spots

By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Upper Arlington High School baseball team didn’t achieve its goals this season, but junior shortstop/pitcher Michael Koltak believes he and his teammates can draw inspiration from the Golden Bears’ 2010 squad as they prepare for next year.

UA finished 8-13 in 2009 but rebounded last year, going 23-9 and winning a Division I district championship.

This season, the Bears finished 7-17 overall and lost to 11th-seeded Marysville 3-2 in the first round of the district tournament May 9. They played three makeup games in the OCC-Central Division after being eliminated from the tournament, losing to Hilliard Davidson 6-0 on May 12 and defeating Westland 5-3 on May 10 and 12-3 on May 13.

UA finished 6-8 in the OCCCentral to place sixth, behind Dublin Coffman (13-1), Davidson (10-4), Worthington Kilbourne (10-4), Hilliard Darby (77) and Thomas Worthington (77), and ahead of Central Crossing (2-12) and Westland (1-13).

“When you look back on the season, we didn’t get as far as we wanted to (in the district tournament) and we didn’t win as many games as we wanted to,” Koltak said. “But there were some moments where you saw some good things and some moments when you saw we were a young team.

“We’re going into (the offseason) with an open mind. The guys last year were not very successful the year before, but that experience helped them. If we come back mentally tougher and stronger physically, I don’t see why we can’t do what they did.

I definitely have set a high standard in my mind for next year.

With the experience we got this year, I don’t see why we can’t make a run at district next year.”

At a glance

•Record: 7-17 overall, 6-8 (sixth) in OCC-Central •Seniors lost: Jon Borchert, Charles Cooper, Charlie Hess, Michael Jeffers and Doug Radcliff •Key returnees: Jordan Arkin, Michael Armstrong, Pat Crowley, Michael Koltak, Eddie Miller and Mitch Nini

Having returned just four letterwinners, UA was hindered by inexperience throughout the season, particularly early on. The Bears lost seven of their first eight games, and in four of those losses, their opponent scored the winning run in its final at-bat.

“Losing those four games that way, I thought that really hurt our psyche and set the tone for the year,” coach Matt Middleton said.

Although the Bears showed progress at times, they were plagued by inconsistent play.

“I felt a couple times we took steps forward but then we would take a couple steps back, and you can’t do that if you expect to be successful,” Middleton said.

“Our goals are to win 20 games, win a league championship and win a district championship, but I can’t say we underachieved or overachieved. I guess we can base (this season) on how we do next year because we have a lot of guys coming back.”

UA loses five seniors in Jon Borchert (1B/P), Charles Cooper (OF/P), Charlie Hess (INF), Michael Jeffers (P) and Doug Radcliff (P).

Cooper had a .277 batting average with a team-high 18 RBI, 16 runs and a team-high six stolen bases, and he was 2-3 with a 2.76 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 33 innings on the mound. Borchert hit pdolan@thisweeknews.com .370 with 15 RBI and 13 runs. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

TRACK Continued from page B1 times, winning the title in 2004.

“I can’t think of a time when we didn’t get the 3,200 relay onto the regional meet,” said Hartney, who is in his 22nd year coaching the Bears.

“I just have a lot of people who can run the 800. It just works out for us.”

Moody and Menden helped the relay place 11th at state the past two years, including last year when they teamed with Bethany Yunker and Sarah Hobbs (9:34.1).

“Leah has been the leadoff (runner in the relay) in the state meet the last two years,” Hartley said. “She is an experienced veteran and we need that. It’s always good to have been there because you’re not over-awed by anything.”

While neither Yunker, who has a leg injury, nor Hobbs, who chose not to compete in track this spring, are on the relay, Hartney

Jeffers was 1-3 with a 3.71 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 22 2/3 innings, and Radcliff was 1-2 with one save, a 4.44 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings.

In addition to Koltak, expected to return are juniors Jordan Arkin (C), Michael Armstrong (INF/OF/P), Pat Crowley (C/OF), Austin Gibson (3B/P) and Eddie Miller (1B/3B/P), sophomores Chandler Cole (OF/P), Tyler Metcalf (INF/OF), Nick Milo (OF), Nick Reed (P), Brett Stricharczuk (INF/P) and Sam Thompson (INF/P) and freshmen Danny Hummer (OF), Will Marable (SS), Mathis Newman (OF/P) and Mitch Nini (2B).

Cole, who was expected to be the team’s center fielder and leadoff hitter, missed the season with a hip injury.

Nini received the most playing time of the freshmen. He made his varsity debut in the fourth game, a 12-10, eight-inning loss to Fairfield on April 2, and was a starter the rest of the season. He batted .333 with 14 RBI and 10 runs.

“I don’t think anybody expected that from him,” Koltak said of Nini.

Marable also received significant playing time, starting at shortstop when Koltak was pitching.

Koltak hit .322 with 14 RBI and eight runs and was 2-4 with a 5.94 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings. Other offensive leaders were Miller (.322, 12 RBI, team-high 19 runs), Crowley (.300, 10 RBI, 17 runs), Armstrong (.284, 8 RBI, 17 runs, 1 home run, 4 stolen bases) and Arkin (.375).

“We’ve got a lot of good kids, guys who are willing to work to get better,” Middleton said. “As a unit, we have to get better in all aspects.”

At a glance is pleased with the way Melvin and Jaffe have stepped into their roles.

“Getting Leah back definitely helps us, but Julia is running better than she has ever run in her entire career,” Hartney said.

“Dorry has just gotten better every time she runs. Olivia is, well, just Olivia.”

The 3,200 relay’s finish at district was one of three first-place finishes for the girls team, which scored 78 points to finish fourth behind Dublin Scioto (139), Reynoldsburg (116) and Lancaster (91). Menden won the 1,600 (5:23.79) and 800 (2:22.55).

•The boys team finished seventh (45.5) in the district 3 meet, behind champion Dublin Coffman (116.5).

The Patriots entered the contest having won 10 of their previous 11 games.

Wolford said his team needs to work on “a mountain of things” to get back to the state final for the 20th consecutive season.

“Tournaments like this are a one-and-done deal,” Wolford said. “You don’t have the ability to say, ‘OK, we didn’t play well against this team, so we’ll go back and fix it’ if you lose.

Wellington Roundup

Wagner earns fourth state tennis berth

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ian Wagner, a senior for the Wellington School boys tennis team, accomplished what he set out to do by qualifying for the Division II state tournament for the fourth time.

Wagner qualified for state, which will be held Friday, May 27, and Saturday, May 28, at Hilliard Davidson, by placing second in the district tournament May 20-21 at Columbus Academy.

Wagner lost to Watterson’s Chris Diaz 6-1, 6-0 in the district final. The top two finishers in singles and doubles at district advanced to state.

Wagner will open the state tournament against Chagrin Falls’ Nolan Marks, who finished sixth in the Northeast District.

“It’s exciting I’ve made it all four years,” Wagner said. “It’s my goal to get to the state every year and anything past the district is a bonus.

“However, since this is my last shot, I want to do as well as I can.

I feel like I have a good chance to make a run this year, but we’ll have to see.”

Wagner has advanced past the first round in his first three trips to state, placing fourth as a freshman, third as a sophomore and losing to 2010 Cincinnati Country Day graduate Joey Fritz 6-3, 6-3 in a quarterfinal last year. Fritz went on to place second.

Wagner, who recently signed with Division II Emory University in Atlanta, said he was playing well at district despite the loss to Diaz.

“I feel like my forehand has become more of a weapon this year,” Wagner said. “I have a really grinding game, but I’ve been able to step it up and hit some strong forehand shots.”

•Girls lacrosse coach Liz Clapacs is hoping the physical play in her team’s game against Cincinnati Seton will prepare the Jaguars for the rest of the Division II

“I told the girls this was one of the most physically aggressive teams we’ve played all year,” Clapacs said of Seton. “I think that took us out of our element at the start. Seton came in here with a lot of physical intensity and that kept us scrapping away and stick-

ing with it.”

Grace Korandovich scored four goals, and goalkeeper Paige Price had 14 saves.

“I’m used to using my speed on the field,” said Price, who played midfield before being switched to goalie before the start of the season. “(Since I’ve played in the midfield), I know who needs to be where defensively and communicate that to the rest of the defense.”

UA falls to Gahanna in district semifinal

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Members of the Upper Arlington High School softball team surrounded their coaches in the damp grass behind one of the fields at Pickerington North on May 20 for a typical postgame meeting after a 10-0, five-inning loss to Gahanna in a Division I district semifinal.

The players were about to go their separate ways when coach Todd DelBoccio told them he had a couple more things to talk about.

After several more minutes passed, the players finally were left to soak in all that they’d experienced during a season that featured more losses than wins but a few rays of hope for the future.

The Golden Bears finished 11-17 overall but reached a district semifinal and their top five hitters and top two pitchers are eligible to return.

According to junior catcher Stephanie Turner, the theme of the postgame talk surrounded working throughout the offseason and working together as a team.

“I think with us having a younger team, (getting to a district semifinal) just gives us an experience,” Turner said. “We know what we’re getting into next year and kind of know what to expect now.”

UA lost seven of eight games before beating Northland 11-0 in five innings on May 10 to open the district tournament. The Bears then rallied for a 6-4 win over 11th-seeded Pickerington Central in a second-round game May 12 to set up the matchup with second-seeded Gahanna.

UA, which also beat Central 8-6 on April 16, fell behind Gahanna 5-0 on May 19 before play was suspended because of bad weather. When the game re-

•Record: 11-17 overall, 4-10 (sixth) in OCC-Central •Seniors lost: Kasey Bennett, Sarah Garrett, Brooke Hauser and Sarah Watson •Key returnees: Laramie Abbruzzese, Mandie Abbruzzese, Mimi Bair, Fallon Brown and Stephanie Turner

sumed the next day, the Lions scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and three in the fifth to end the game.

Gahanna ended the Bears’season a year ago as well, with a 10, 11-inning win in a district final.

“It was a good experience to be at district again,” DelBoccio said. “For a young team like we have, it’s good to go up against a seasoned Gahanna team. We only had four strikeouts against them, but the ball wasn’t dropping for us.”

The Bears finished sixth in the OCC-Central Division at 410, behind Central Crossing (130), Thomas Worthington (10-3), Worthington Kilbourne (10-4), Hilliard Davidson (7-7), Hilliard Darby (4-9), Westland (3-10) and Dublin Coffman (3-11).

Entering this week, a league game between Central Crossing and Thomas and a league game between Darby and Westland had not been played.

UA loses four seniors in Kasey Bennett, Sarah Garrett, Brooke Hauser and Sarah Watson.

Hauser hit .270 with 16 RBI and Watson scored 16 runs.

Turner, who hit .350 with five home runs and 19 RBI, is among the top players expected to return. Sophomore Laramie Abbruzzese also batted close to .350, with 20 runs scored.

UA coach Todd DelBoccio talks to his players on May 12 during a 6-4 victory over Pickerington Central in a Division I second-round game. The Golden Bears lost to Gahanna 10-0 in five innings in a district semifinal that concluded May 20.

RBI) also hit better than .300, and classmates Fallon Brown (11 runs), Julia Zwayer and Montana Henry were other steady contributors.

Mandie Abbruzzese and freshman McKinly Vazquez were the team’s top pitchers this season.

Abbruzzese missed time in late April with shoulder tendinitis before returning to the circle for the tournament.

Also eligible to return are juniors Margo Bennett, Emily Duhigg and Erica Sollitto.

“We’ve got a lot of returnees coming back,” DelBoccio said.

“We have to get back to the way we’re used to playing and focus on a lot of the positives. We expect to get back into the league race. We’re real excited about next year.”

Rowing

Area teams fare well in two events

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

There was more good news than better weather for the three central Ohio rowing programs that competed May 21-22.

The Westerville high school club team advanced four boats from the Midwest Junior championships on Lake Harsha in Batavia to the US Rowing Youth Nationals on June 1012 in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Upper Arlington qualified four boats from the Midwest Scholastic championships in Oak Ridge for the SRAA national regatta for high school programs that will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 27-28, in Camden, N.J. The Dublin crew team didn’t advance any boats from the Midwest Junior meet but had several boats make grand finals.

The top three finishers in each race at both the Midwest Junior and Midwest Scholastic regattas advanced to nationals.

•After what it deemed a disappointing finish in the Governor’s Cup on April 30, Westerville left the Midwest Junior championships pleased with what boats still were competing.

The girls first varsity 8 boat, which features Tatiana Lundstrom in the

stroke seat, finished second (6 minutes, 54.46) and the girls lightweight 8 with Kaitlyn Cantrell in the stroke seat took third (7:16.89).

Hailey Ellis recently joined the first varsity 8 in place of junior Lindsey Brown, who battled strep throat for much of the spring. Ellis is a senior at New Albany who will row for Marietta College.

“It was a fairly recent turning point for the girls,” coach Trish Chase said.

“We’ve added a new person to the boat and it was almost like we turned on a switch. They didn’t realize their full potential. They pulled a 6:54, which was right where we want to be.”

The lightweight 8 (6:08.32) and the first varsity 4 (6:56.17) each placed second for the boys team. Ben Leonard strokes the first varsity 4 and David Caspers strokes the lightweight 8.

Jeremy Sobiech, who signed May 19 to row for Jacksonville, also is on the first varsity 4.

“We got second places on the boats that matter the most to us,” boys coach Matt Chase said. “In both races we made up significant differences in our competition times since (the Governor’s Cup).”

•Because of poor weather, the Midwest Scholastic Rowing Championships were moved to last weekend,

forcing Upper Arlington to choose between that regatta and the Midwest Junior championships.

The Bears elected to go to the Midwest Scholastic regatta for high schools, where the top three finishers moved on to SRAA nationals.

Advancing from the boys team were the lightweight 4 (second, 5:21.9) and the freshman 8 (5:02.9). Senior Eric Bleich strokes the lightweight 4.

In addition, boys coach Chris Swartz successfully petitioned to have a junior 4 boat at SRAA nationals and was trying to petition to get a lightweight 8 boat into the regatta as well.

“Our racing went very well (at Midwest Scholastic),” Swartz said.

“We were able to get a lot of work in during the week and a half leading up to that.”

The girls advanced its junior 8 (second, 5:34.6) and its freshman 8 (second, 5:42.1) to SRAA nationals.

According to coach Andy Wimmer, the girls team finished third of 22 teams that scored at Midwest Scholastic.

“From a points perspective, third place isn’t too shabby,” Wimmer said.

“We had a lot of boats in grand finals.

I was pretty impressed with the girls having to go from 50 degrees and raining to 90 degrees and humid.”

•The season came to an end last weekend for the Dublin boys and girls teams, but not without a few performances that pleased coaches Gina and Jared Crooks.

For the girls, the first varsity 8 (sixth, 7:16.46), the first varsity 4 (seventh, 7:59.87), the second varsity 8 (fourth, 7:21.28) and the lightweight 4 (fifth, 8:20.32) all were among the boats that advanced to grand finals. The boys advanced to the grand final of the lightweight 4 (fifth, 7:02.22).

The boys team will lose seniors Vinay Balaji, Brady Basham, Ben Cahalin and Griffith Fillman and the girls will lose seniors Kat Bauer, Emily Kuret, Janell Mayfield, Abbey Marsh and Rachel McNeil.

Juniors Bailey Irelan, who stroked the first varsity 4 and first varsity 8 boats, and junior Olivia Gugliemotto should be back to lead the girls team.

Top returnees for the boys should include juniors Spencer Grisvard, Luke Neuroth and Mac Workman.

“We didn’t have anybody qualify for nationals, but we actually haven’t been able to qualify that many boats to grand finals in the past,” Gina Crooks said. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen REMOVING WAX BUILDUP

If left to its own devices, the yellowish waxy substance secreted by the ear canal (“cerumen”) will migrate out of the ear uneventfully. However, for some, ear wax buildup can cause impaction and conductive hearing loss. Additionally, wearers of hearing instruments are instructed in the most effective means of keeping their devices free of debris that can compromise their functioning ability. In the first-ever study to look into the subject, researchers found that bulb syringes sold over-the-counter in pharmacies (along with waxsoftening solution) are generally effective in removing ear wax buildup. Home treatment involving the use of mineral oil or glycerin in the ear was also found to be effective for many.

Otherwise, a professional should be consulted.

If you produce excessive ear wax that is interfering with your hearing, a hearing care professional can clear your ear canal by removing impacted ear wax. Techniques used for this procedure include irrigation, use of special instruments, and suction. Don’t try to fix the problem yourself; call Absolute Hearing Solutions today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation.

MARBURN ACADEMY CONGRATULATES AARON SVOBODA

“STUDENT SPOTLIGHT” Marburn Academy is proud to acknowledge the contributions of Robert S. Garek Merit Scholarship recipient Aaron Svoboda to the Marburn Academy community.

Junior Aaron Svoboda enjoys coming to Marburn Academy every day. “Every year at Marburn is a good year. I receive individual attention from my High School teachers and they understand the way I learn best. I can’t wait to be a senior, and work on my Capstone documentary project next year,” said Svoboda.

Research in bio-remediation, culminating in an individual project on utilizing a bio-filter to help sustain life is a major focus for Svoboda at Marburn. The High School science faculty supports him in this endeavor. Svoboda also uses his expertise in climbing and rappelling to volunteer with the Marburn Lower Division and Middle Division Voyageurs program. He has assisted several different classes with their climbing and rappelling skills. Climbing is an important skill taught at Marburn. As a result of his experience with climbing from Marburn Academy, Svoboda has almost completed his certification in climbing from Summit Vision Center, located in Westerville, Ohio. Svoboda also participates in Cross Country and volunteers with his church.

Everyone at Marburn Academy is proud of an outstanding leader like Aaron Svoboda.

Weekend’s powwow will honor war vets

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A powwow held this weekend at the Franklin County Fairgrounds will honor and celebrate veterans.

According to the Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio, which sponsors the powwow, war veterans traditionally open the event by leading dancers into the center of an arena to start each day with prayer and a flag-raising.

The powwow will include drum groups, dancing in regalia, contests, arts and crafts, and food such as fry bread.

Ross Davidson will be one of the participants in the powwow.

Davidson, 73, lives in Plain City and has served in the U.S. Navy and a police chief. He is also a maker of dance regalia, an expert at beading and quilting who has been accepted into the Native American community.

“Modern-day powwows as we know them began just before or

shortly after World War II in Oklahoma,” Davidson said, “then they spread like wildfire.” Veterans are honored, he said, because Native Americans have a long history of serving in the United States military, and they have a high rate of volunteers.

“It’s a family event,” Davidson said of the powwow. “We get to see people we haven’t seen for a while, and meet new ones. That’s what it’s about — a celebration of life.”

The 29th annual Selma Walker Memorial Powwow will be held Saturday-Monday, May 28-30.

The gates open at 11 a.m., with dancers entering at 1 and 7 p.m.

(1 p.m. Monday). Admission is $7, or $3 senior citizens and students; or $15 for a weekend pass.

Children age 5 and under are admitted free. Bringing a chair is recommended. The powwow will end at 10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and 5 p.m. Monday. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Financial finesse

Be prepared by getting pre-approved Despite countless stories about the troubles in the housing market, there are many options available. That said, the first step in determining whether or not to shop for that new home is to discuss your financial situation with a trusted mortgage professional and get pre-approved.

A pre-approval is one of two common processes prospective homebuyers engage in before making an offer on a home; prequalification is the other.

Both allow customers to begin the buying process with a good idea of what they can afford, but there are clear advantages to going one step beyond pre-qualification to get pre-approved.

Pre-qualification uses a homebuyer’s financial information — income, debts and other monthly obligations, such as child support payments — to determine a buyer’s debt ratio. Depending

on how much or how little is available for a down payment, this process helps to determine the size mortBRIAN gage the BURSTEIN buyer can afford and the type of mortgage that best meets the buyer’s needs.

Pre-approval takes the approval process to the end — almost. Only a few items remain outstanding, such as an appraisal of the property and confirmation the buyer will have whatever cash is needed for the closing.

For a comparatively small fee — usually about $50 — lenders will work through the steps necessary to receive a mortgage.

Buyers who get pre-approved

know exactly which financial guidelines they are working within. The pre-approved buyer has the lender’s approval for a specific mortgage amount. Lenders and real estate agents sometimes say pre-approval is the “same as cash,” which can often be an advantage in beating out other buyers.

Searching for the right home, arranging a comfortable mortgage and closing the deal can be a challenging process. So doing a little legwork up front by becoming pre-approved can make the other challenges a whole lot easier.
