City to collect Creekside defaults By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Gahanna City Council approved legislation by emergency on June 6 for the mayor to enter into a letter of agreement with Huntington National Bank regarding a lease agreement between the city and Gahanna-Creekside Investments (GCI) for money owed from lease payments dating back to 2008. Gahanna has been working with Huntington National Bank since a re-

ceiver was appointed for GCI to resolve outstanding issues regarding money due to the city. Alleging a default of more than $30 million worth of loans on the Creekside property, lender Huntington filed suit in late February against Mo Dioun’s development firm, Stonehenge Co., and its affiliate GCI. Huntington has agreed to advance funds to Mark S. Froehlich, director of asset restructuring services at Ohio Equities, as the court-appointed receiver

in the foreclosure proceeding, captioned “The Huntington National Bank v. Gahanna Creekside Investments LLC, Case No. 11 CVH-2-2320,” pending in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, to pay the city any and all defaults of GCI under leases. According to the agreement, the city has agreed to accept $179,564 for rent, interest and late charges for leases for 2008, 2009 and 2010. The payment amount includes a total base rent of $148,590 for 2008, 2009

and 2010, plus interest of $3,974 and late charges of $27,000. City attorney Tom Weber told ThisWeek the city is making out as reasonably as possible, concerning the foreclosure. “I think we’ve been made reasonably whole,” he said. “I think we’ve done as well as we can as a city to collect some of these funds.” He said the late charges were subject to negotiations. Weber said he couldn’t estimate a

Gahanna class of 2011 includes 26 valedictorians By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Gahanna Lincoln High School graduated 550 seniors June 4 at the Jerome Schottenstein Center, along with 24 Gahanna Community School students. A breakdown of graduating seniors’ future plans shows 83 percent will attend two- and four-year colleges, 2 percent will enter a trade school, 2 percent are

pursuing military opportunities, and 4.5 percent will enter the workforce, said Jenny Savakinas, of the high school guidance department. The class of 2011 had 26 valedictorians, one National Achievement Scholarship finalist and seven National Merit Commended Scholars. In addition, 15 percent of the class received honors diplomas and nearly $10 million in higher-education scholarships.

date for the city to receive the money due, but he said there’s no reason for any protracted time frame. “We’ve done what we have had to do to get the process going,” he said. “The receiver is the vehicle for the payment of the monies, technically done by court order, with the judge assigned to the foreclosure suit. Everyone has to sign off on it and go through the procedure.” mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Seniors Mark Batke and Matt Mangia have been named to Gahanna Lincoln High School’s Hall of Fame. A committee selected the two from 10 finalists out of the 550-member class of 2011. Batke, son of Gary and Beth Batke, plans to attend Ohio State University in the fall to double major in communications and marketing, with a minor in psychology. Mangia, son of Mike and Laura Mangia, also will attend Ohio State to study leadership education. “It’s a huge honor for me,” Batke said. “I can’t put it into words. It’s something I’ve dreamed about for four years. I was excited about being a finalist. I thought that was as far as it was going to go. It was totally unexpected.” The 17-year-old is a two-year member of the advanced television class, served as an officer on student council, was a three-year member of the theater program and was involved in Performance Studio, a theater group. In March, he was runner-up in the Arnold Sports Film Festival out of 160 students nationwide for his 13-minute documentary on “Gahanna Bill.” Batke, a class valedictorian, also was involved in about 15 theater productions during his high school career. Mangia, who’s also a class valedic-

torian, said it’s an amazing honor to be named to the hall of fame. “This honor is a great way for me to remember the four years of hard work I Mark Batke have put into making high school an enjoyable experience for as many students as possible,” he said. “I feel so honored to have been selected from the 10 finalMatt Mangia ists, all of whom were extremely qualified. The other finalists have had a tremendous visible impact on the school, so it means even more to me that I was chosen from amongst this extremely impressive group of 10 seniors.” During high school, Mangia was involved in student council for four years, See HALL OF FAME, page A2

Blues & Jazz Fest volunteers needed By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Donate a few hours of time and enjoy a weekend filled with jazz and blues music for free. Karen Eylon, Gahanna Convention and Visitors Bureau director, told ThisWeek on June 6 that organizers are concerned about the low number of volunteers for the June 17-19 Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival. “We need volunteers,” she said. “The festival is run by the CVB, a nonprofit organization that’s small on staff, and

our committee is small on staff. We rely on anywhere from 400 to 600 volunteers a year to put the festival on.” In the past, at least 200 to 300 volunteers would come from Gahanna Lincoln High School. “The challenge now is that we’ve worked with the schools in a different manner than in the past to be able recruit and engage 300-plus students,” Eylon said. “We went about it in a different way, and as of today, there are only 34. That’s way off from the past.” See FESTIVAL, page A3

‘Greening the Highways’ HALL OF FAME project begins in Gahanna Continued from page A1

By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Gahanna served as the kickoff of “Greening the Highways,” a binational project that seeks to increase the survival rate and environmental benefits of trees planted in urban areas in Ontario, Canada, and Ohio. The project’s first tree-planting was held June 2 at I-270 south and Hamilton Road. Ohio State University’s Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) and Ontario’s Vineland Research and Innovation Centre are leading the initiative. Improving the methods used to grow and establish trees for planting in stressful urban sites is crucial for their survival, said Dr. Hannah Mathers, OSU project leader and Gahanna resident. The project involves taking various species of trees and shrubs grown in Mathers’ nursery, using techniques designed to produce a more salt-tolerant plant for use on roadside applications and for replanting in harsh environments. “We are doing many of the same procedures in Ohio as Ontario, with the exception of the species,” Mathers said. The trees planted in Gahanna include the hackberry, red maple, tree lilac and paper bark birch. “All of these are native and adapted to Ohio and are salt tolerant,” Mathers said. “The hardiness comes from being grown in the retractable-roof growing environment at OSU, which in six years of previous studies has shown superior adaptation to stressful environments.” Mike Andrako, assistant city service director,

said Mathers had approached him last fall about possible locations for a salt-tolerant planting study. He said the I-270/Hamilton Road interchange was selected because the area had been reconstructed recently, with much of it having no existing vegetation that would require removal. Andrako said it’s an area where the city had planned to add aesthetic landscaping anyway, and the project provided volunteer labor. “The issue of tree survival and longevity is key because urban trees provide their most environmental benefits, such as removing dust particles and carbon monoxide from the air, when they make it to a maturity of 20 or more years,” Mathers said. In addition to OSU, the project also involves the collaboration of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Bird Houk Collaborative. Gahanna City Council approved a $17,000 reimbursement agreement with ODOT last month to cover the cost of landscaping materials and maintenance of the city’s south gateway. ODOT is providing the salt-tolerant plants as part of a Gateway Grant program, which provides landscaping and materials to municipalities for use in beautifying roadsides along interchanges and highways. Gahanna’s agreement with ODOT provides reimbursement for all nonsalt-tolerant plants and will be used to compare the results of OSU’s plantings. Andrako said the creation of the on-site research laboratory is truly a collaborative effort among OSU, ODOT, Bird Houk and Gahanna. Brian Hoyt, Gahanna’s public-information manager, said it’s an interesting project that benefits the city by saving money to landscape the area.

Developer decides to withdraw Meadowbrooke rezoning request By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After months of scrutiny concerning the proposed Meadowbrooke subdivision, the developer has dropped a request that would have increased its density. Representing Brookewood Construction, attorney David Hodge told Gahanna City Council on June 6 that the process has been long, but it was apparent several issues couldn’t be resolved within the allotted time frame. Council needed to vote on the proposal 90 days from receipt of the recommendation by the city’s planning commission. The commission voted 5-2 on

March 23 for legislation that would have rezoned 4.7 acres at 5593 Havens Corners Road, increasing the density from nine to 14 lots. “The request to rezone has been withdrawn,” Hodge said. “It’s apparent there are several unresolved issues, so we opted to withdraw.” He told ThisWeek council had brought up more questions about storm water and access on Havens Corners Road, and those issues couldn’t be addressed by deadline. He didn’t know if developer Doug Maddy eventually would return with another proposal, he said. Council unanimously voted to indefinitely postpone the request.

Some commission members previously praised Maddy for a green design of Meadowbrooke that called for several mini-basins scattered throughout the development, a dry pond and scattered right-of-way rain gardens. The proposal also drew continued criticism from neighbors who have said the small lots and proposed homes, priced at $250,000 to $300,000, would be too low and wouldn’t fit the character of the immediate neighborhood. Council members also had raised safety concerns about traffic on Havens Corners and being able to turn out of the development.

Mangia also has been the stage manager for the past two years for all GLHS productions. Principal Dwight Carter said

the student hall-of-fame process includes staff members’ nominations of students who have a gradepoint average of at least 3.0, and consideration of their academic work, leadership and service in the school or community. The staff members then vote, resulting in 10 finalists. Next, the finalists are asked to submit a resume and answer a few questions. From there, Carter said, a committee of teachers and administrators, with feedback from a select group of junior students, selects the two inductees.

The 10 finalists’names will be placed on a plaque in the hall-offame hallway. “The two hall-of-fame inductees best represent Gahanna Lincoln High School and are deserving of the induction,” Carter said. Their pictures and a short bio will be placed in the hallway, and they’ll receive a hall-of-fame ring from Jostens. In recognition of their accomplishment Jefferson Country Club also offers a dining opportunity for the inductees and their parents at the club.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen TOP-DOWN HEARING RISK

Carrying on a conversation with fellow passengers in a convertible can be so difficult that automobile manufacturers continually redesign their top-down models in order to make the open-air experience quieter. However, it seems that many automakers have fallen short in these efforts to the point where many convertibles are noisy enough to cause hearing loss. In fact, when researchers recently drove five convertibles at 55 miles per hour, they found that it was surprisingly easy to exceed the 85-decibel level, which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health identifies as “excessive noise exposure.” While no one wants to spoil anyone’s fun, those who are concerned about their hearing should be aware of this risk Whether they come from riding in a convertible, frequent exposure to loud power equipment, or playing music at a loud volume, hearing risks are all around us every day. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our goal is to help our patients hear as well as they can for as long as they can. Please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation. Many of our patients have discovered that traveling to Gahanna was worth their drive. We are First in Class on Angie’s List, we beat competitor’s pricing by 25%-70%, we have the top 10 leading brands, and we put our customer’s first. We are located at 1000 Morrison Road, Suite H, Gahanna. Come see why patients are willing to make the drive to invest in their hearing. We look forward to hearing from you. We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!

PH.

ing more than 10,000 members, will be part of that volunteer force. Last year, the festival collected enough nonperishable food to provide 466 meals to those less fortunate in the Columbus area. Since 1999, when blues and jazz musicians helped the community celebrate the revitalized Creekside Park & Plaza in Olde Gahanna, an ever-increasing number of members of the Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival’s volunteer roster have been instrumental in planning and executing the central Ohio summer outdoor-music mainstay. One key volunteer is Bob Thomas, of the Columbus Blues Alliance (CBA), who works closely with Louis Tsamous, drummer and director of affiliate musicians for the Jazz Arts Group. Once per month for the past five years, Thomas and Tsamous have congregated to connect the incalculable dots that come with planning a three-day festival. Thomas, who was guiding the CBA, recognized the Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival was at a crossroads. “I saw how the festival had grown, and with the development of the Creekside Park & Plaza in Gahanna, I knew it was going to get bigger,” said Thomas, an Upper Arlington resident whose day job is to over-

see Exhibit & Event Management. “It has always been a fun festival, but at that point, I began to see big potential for continuing growth.” Thomas and Tsamous are two of Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival’s high-profile volunteers, but scores more donate time and energy to the event. During the 2010 festival, more than 100 volunteers from Mount Carmel, Heartland Bank and Benchmark Bank worked throughout the festival. The GCVB contributed more than $9,000 to 17 service and civic organizations whose members had staffed entrance points and beverage stations in 2010. This year’s festival planning committee is partnering with the Gahanna Jaycees, Kiwanis, American Legion, Sertoma, Gahanna Historical Society and the Moose Riders. To volunteer, visit www.creeksidebluesandjazz.com or call the GCVB office at (614) 418-9114. Festival hours are 5 to 11 p.m. Friday, June 17; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, June 18; and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, June 19.

THIS BUG KILLS! Protect Your Ash Trees Call Mike Donley Today for a FREE Ash Tree Assessment The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic boring insect believed to have come from China. This bug was first discovered in 2002 in Southeast Michigan. With no natural enemies to contain its population, it spreads rapidly, attacks and kills ALL ash trees regardless of size or condition; 100% mortality rate! This bug only attacks ash trees. The EAB infestation of ash trees became apparent last year in Central Ohio. Extensive wood pecker damage, dead limbs in upper canopies and a flush of green sprouts in the lower canopies are the most obvious signs of likely EAB infestation. Generally speaking, from the first signs of infestation, trees die within 2-3 years if untreated. Should you decide to preserve your ash trees, field trials from Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue Universities have shown annually applied insecticides will protect ash trees effectively from the emerald ash borer. There are two primary recommendations to get most effective insecticide protection - Treating trees in the spring time (April-May) and treatments prior to infestation.

She said anyone could be a part of the fun and be a volunteer. For three to four hours of time, Eylon said, volunteers will receive a free T-shirt and two complimentary wristbands good for the entire festival. “We need volunteers for everything from setting up chairs at stages to helping with kids’ activities,” she said. “We’ve got several main admission and smaller admission points, where volunteers collect money and give wristbands. There are a whole host of different things. It takes a lot of people to put on the festival. Any help would be greatly appreciated.” In 2010, Gahanna students volunteered 535 hours of time. “The event simply wouldn’t happen without the support from and energy of our student corps of volunteers,” said Gretchen Hof, Gahanna CVB event coordinator. “It’s a long weekend but filled with fun and rewarding work.” From noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, June 19, volunteers will give their time and energy as they collect nonperishable food items at festival admission points, where entry will be free for each person who brings a food donation.

Announcing the ...

As it were

Trash: an ever-present problem for a growing city In the wake of a recent threeday holiday weekend, I was reminded of — among other things — the remarkable cleanliness of Ohio’s capital city. Columbus is certainly not unique in the cleanliness of its streets and the remarkable efficiency of its refuse removal. But anybody who has recently been to a “filthy city” — and we will politely not mention any names — probably has thankfully returned to Columbus and assumed that the metropolis of central Ohio has always been this efficiently clean. Of course, that assumption would not be correct. For much of the first 100 years of its history, Columbus was a pretty dirty place. This should not really be all that surprising. Through most of human history, cities have been places where large numbers of people have gathered for one reason or another. And generally, they have been more interested in those reasons — to do business, to worship, to have a good time — than they have been inclined to pick up after themselves. Columbus is a created city. There was not all that much on the “high banks opposite Franklinton at the forks of the Scioto” in 1812 except a lot of forest and a very large Indian mound that gave Mound Street its name. It was at this pristine location that the Ohio General Assembly decided to make a new home. And even though only a few hundred people lived here at first, it did not take them long to make a mess. One of the very first ordinances passed by the Borough of Columbus in 1816 as the legislature was preparing to meet here for the first time dealt with the condition of the streets, such as they were. The ordinance of May 23, 1816, forbade “the obstruction of the thoroughfares by lumber, firewood, stable garbage, earth from cellars or any other means.” The mayor, Jarvis Pike, could impose fines if he saw fit. When one notes that the mayor was making money by removing the stumps from Statehouse Square for the governor in one of the state’s first public works contracts, it probably will not come as a shock to learn that the stumps in High Street were ignored. No one was paying to have them removed. And no one was really complying with the street-cleaning ordinance, either. Mayor Pike soon decided not to seek re-election and entered into several private-sector businesses. His successors were not better, and may have been worse, at keeping the trash of the city under control. A few examples: On June 26, 1820, the city marshal was ordered to “remove any logs from Broad Street, west of Fourth Street, that may have grown on the ground and is fallen thereon.” There is no record that the marshal did any such thing. In 1832, the residents of lots on High Street from Broad to Main streets were ordered “to collect the dirt into convenient

heaps on Saturday of each week.” There is no record that the residents complied with that order, eiED ther. LENTZ “Dirt” was a major problem in the early city. This was due primarily to certain basic facts: Most of the streets were not paved. Most of the streets were being used as sewers as well as thoroughfares. Columbus was a city powered by horses and its streets were filled with what horses left behind. Put all of this together and one can see why the removal of dirt was an important issue. By 1840, Columbus was a town of more than 6,000 people and the streets — at least near Broad and High — were at least moderately clean at least some of the time. An ordinance passed that year was more modest in its intent. The long-suffering marshal was ordered to employ someone to “clean the paved gutters of the city of all dirt and filth.” Presumably, the idea here was that dirt and filth pushed into the street would be washed away after a while. How this would happen in a city without sewers was not explained. Things had not improved much by 1850. A writer informed a local newspaper of the problems of inner city travel: “On Tuesday last, a couple of friends from Cleveland, delegates to the Temperance Convention, wishing to visit the Lunatic Asylum (at Jefferson and Broad), I took them in my carriage and set out on the perilous undertaking of reaching that institution; and by trespassing on the gravel sidewalk of Mr. Kelley (near Fifth and Broad), and some others, we contrived to get within 40 or 50 rods of the Asylum gate, when we were stuck fast in the mud, and after breaking the carriage and harness in endeavoring to proceed, we were compelled to wade on foot through the mire.” The arrival of 26,000 Union troops at Camp Chase did not help improve city cleanliness much. A local paper complained in 1865 as the Civil War was ending that, “Our Street Commissioner, having wakened up from his Rip Van Winkle slum-

bers, was out yesterday with an overwhelming force, consisting of a one-legged man and two assistants, actively engaged in cleaning up … Heaven knows there is need of it.” By the early 1870s, Columbus was growing rapidly and the downtown near the Statehouse was being kept reasonably clean. The area north of town near the railyards was another matter: “The weather at present writing warrants a hope that navigation between the National Hotel (Nationwide and High Street) and the North Graveyard (North Market) will be closed today. For several days, it has been impossible to get a respectable footing anywhere in the territory described above. We doubt whether such a sea of mud has ever afflicted any other city.” Actually, many other cities had precisely the same problems. If anything, Columbus — because it was the capital city — was probably cleaner than most cities of comparable size in these years. At last in 1886, a program of relatively regular street cleaning was begun in Columbus. A four-horse sweeper began to clean High Street six nights a week. By 1892, the service was being performed by two twohorse sweepers. But even this service was not uniform, since it was paid for by local property owners who desired it. It would take another generation for really complete street cleaning and refuse removal to come to Columbus. But by 1911 — 100 years ago — it was here. Superintendent Kautzman described his refuse-collection department for a local paper: “Our present quarters (on Short Street) in addition to the disposal plant, consist of a loading station, a commodious barn, both of brick, and a wagon shed now in the process of completion. We have 104 head of horses, 54 wagons and more than 75 men … “During the last two months, we have collected approximately 10,000 loads of garbage and rubbish. We are making the garbage pay by extracting grease and other byproducts from it … Why should we not make this profit for the municipality?” After all, who can argue with treasure from trash? Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Gahanna’s pools are open for the summer By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hunters Ridge Pool, 341 Harrow Blvd., and Gahanna Swimming Pool, 148 Parkland Ave., begin summer break hours today, June 9. Hours at Hunters Ridge are noon to 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 1 to 8 p.m. Sundays. Gahanna Swimming Pool hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 1 to 8 p.m. Sundays. Mike Musser, recreation superintendent, said he thinks the city is likely to sell many more memberships to add to the 3,000 already sold before summer break began. “We sell a lot when the pools

open for the summer,” he said. “Now we’re 21 percent ahead of last year at this time, selling about 1,000 more memberships.” As of June 1, the parks & rec department had sold $151,000 in memberships, compared to $124,500 last year. He said the first of four sessions of swim lessons will begin June 20. Swim lessons and teams are offered at both pools. “There are still lots of spaces,” Musser said. “We’ll add more instructors if needed.” Returning on Thursdays to the Gahanna Swimming Pool will be the popular hotdog nights. “It’s by far the most popular,” Musser said. “We’re going to have a DJ and have Minute to Win It contests, with small prizes and activities.” Other weekly activities will include Tuesday ice cream nights

Legion, auxiliary send students to Buckeye Boys, Girls State By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Gahanna American Legion Post 797 is sponsoring 10 young men from Gahanna Lincoln High School, and the Arts & College Preparatory Academy is sponsoring one student to the Buckeye Boys State event that begins Saturday, June 11, at Bowling Green State University. The American Legion Ladies Auxiliary Unit 797 also is sending seven girls from Gahanna Lincoln to Buckeye Girls State from June 12 to 18 at the University of Mount Union in Alliance. Legion Cmdr. Malcolm Glasgow said the post for nine years has been sponsoring boys for Boys State, a nine-day hands-on experience in the operation of the democratic form of government, the organization of political parties and the relationship of one to the other in shaping Ohio government. The Gahanna Lincoln High School delegates are Chad Benninger, Daniel Emoff, Andrew Foley, Alexander Howell, Suneil Kamath, Nicholas Komjati, Daniel Mefford, Sean Moser, Evan Thorn and Cody Troyan. The Arts & College Preparatory Academy delegate is Nathaniel McFall. Gahanna Lincoln alternate delegates are Shane Albaugh, Christopher Chang, Anthony Rivello, Beau Snoad and Brian Snoad. “Boys State is a great program,” Glasgow said. “All the kids who are picked have a 3.8 grade-point

average or higher.” Cost to send students is $300 per person, with the Legion covering expenses through corporate sponsors in Gahanna, as well as through donations from post members. Glasgow said the American Legion has a rigorous selection process that includes a questionnaire and interview. “It’s very competitive, and we score based on the interview,” he said. This year brought 16 applicants, according to Glasgow. “This is by far our best program in inspiring kids to do well,” he said. “So many men got their inspiration to get into politics or to be an attorney from Boys State.” The American Legion Buckeye Boys State program is sponsored by the Ohio American Legion, the largest veterans organization in Ohio. Boys State and Girls State are open to current high school juniors only. The purpose of Boys State is to assist young men in preparing for the future by providing the experience of living in a college environment; the learning of leadership and management skills to serve in any career path; forming friendships; and teaching how Ohio government operates and functions. Founded in 1936, Buckeye Boys State is one of the largest Boys State programs in the nation, with an attendance of 1,300 boys annually. Boys State programs throughout the nation are spon-

sored by the American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans organization. Carole Ebersole, president of the Ladies Auxiliary and chair of Buckeye Girls State, said the auxiliary has sponsored local girls since 2004. The number of sponsorships depends on donations. Cost is $250 per girl. “Our unit sends two girls, and the others are from sponsors,” she said. This year’s delegates are Annika Nilsen, Meaghan McKenna, Alison Vieira, Zhiping Jin, Rachel Johnson, Xu Weng and Misitha Sengoptuvel. Candidates are recommended by teachers, and the auxiliary forms a committee to interview each girl. “Girls State is similar to Boys State,” Ebersole said. “We develop our own state from the ground up, with cities and counties. We have any position that would be needed to operate a city, from a dog warden to a mayor.” She said about 800 girls would attend Girls State. “Each girl comes back with a different experience,” Ebersole said. “It’s up to them how much they get out of it. It’s a great opportunity. They build friendships many don’t forget.”

Financial finesse

Wedding planning on a budget

Donna Vichinsky Certified Relocation Specialist 19 years of Experience & Integrity

Your wedding day may be one you have dreamed about your entire life. In those dreams, it’s likely that no expense was spared in making the event memorable for you and your guests. When it comes time to actually plan your wedding, however, you’ll likely be operating on a much tighter budget than you had in those dreams. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to make the event spectacular without spending a small fortune. In addition to the following tips, research will yield many books and online resources devoted to this topic. Schedule your wedding out of season. There’s no right or wrong time to plan your wedding, but there are dates that are more popular, and thus more expensive. Avoiding the early summer and early fall months makes it easier to negotiate lower prices with vendors. Additionally, Fridays and Sundays tend to be less expensive than Saturdays. Choose a nontraditional venue for your ceremony or reception. Holding your event in a backyard, park, on public grounds or in another location that doesn’t specialize in hosting weddings is both unique and can be a big cost-saver. Remember, however, to take into consideration the cost of tables, chairs and other rentals. Don’t spend a lot on invitations. Couples may think the invitation sets the tone for the wed-

ding, but the reality is, guests rarely remember the invite after opening the envelope. Consider cutting MICHELLE costs by choosing less JOHNSON expensive invitations or even making your own. For the response card, opt for a postcard or even an electronic reply on one of the popular wedding websites to save even more. Get your friends and family involved. There are likely some very talented people in your circle of friends. Tap them to be part of your special day. You can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by asking your friends to fill important roles such as photographer, DJ and florist. Find something borrowed. Friends and family may have centerpieces, apparel or other items from their wedding that they would be honored to loan you for yours. Ask around. Purchase in season. When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will be in season on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likely have more beautiful arrangements. The same principle works with menu planning. Look for local and in-season foods when deciding what you’ll serve at the re-

ception. Negotiate. Don’t hesitate to ask for a discount from your vendors and suppliers. In a tough economy, they may be willing to offer you great rates to get your business. And there’s no harm in asking. Rent what you can’t afford to buy. Although most brides opt to purchase and store their wedding dress after the big day, few ever wear or do anything with the gown again. By renting, you can wear a designer dress for a fraction of the cost of purchasing. Reduce the size of your guest list and wedding party. Scrutinize your guest list and consider limiting the number of your attendants. Scaling back can help you save on the cost of invitations, favors, meals and more. Make wedding purchases with a rewards card. Rather than writing a check, consider using a credit card that rewards you with frequent-flier miles, hotel points or even cash back. Depending on how much you spend, the rewards could help defray the cost of your honeymoon travel. For additional financial assistance, contact Michelle Johnson, financial center manager with Fifth Third Bank. She welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions. Please feel free to contact her at 614-4928888 or MichelleA.Johnson@53.com.

STATE CHAMPION

Blankenship ties record in winning pole vault By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Junior Jake Blankenship of the Gahanna Lincoln High School boys track and field team broke the state record in the pole vault by clearing 16 feet, 10 inches on May 14 in the OCCOhio Division meet, only to see Olentangy Liberty senior Joey Uhle set a new record by clearing 17-0 a week later in the Division I, district 2 meet. However, Blankenship’s name will remain in the state record book for a much longer period of time after he placed first in the pole vault in the Division I state meet June 4 at Ohio State by clearing a meet- and stadium-record height of 17-0. After tying Uhle’s state record in the event, Blankenship was unable to clear 17-3 on three attempts, but he said he will savor his first state title and second state record during the offseason. “The first time I got the state record, it didn’t even feel like I had it until Joey broke it to take it away from me,” Blankenship said. “So I really wanted to do something special here, because the Uhles (twin brothers Chris and Joey) always push me to do my best. This state record is even more special because I was able to win the state championship and now I’m going to have some time to enjoy this one.” As expected, Blankenship and the Uhles were the only athletes who cleared 16-0 at state, but Blankenship ran into trouble when he missed his first two attempts at 16-6. However, Blankenship switched to a stiffer pole and cleared 16-6 on his third and final attempt before Chris Uhle failed to clear 16-6 on his third attempt. Blankenship then cleared 17-

0 on his first attempt and Joey Uhle failed to clear 17-0 on his three attempts. Last year, Chris Uhle won the state title with a state-, meet- and stadium-record height of 169, with Joey Uhle (16-0), 2010 Dublin Scioto graduate Michael Shibko (15-8) and Blankenship (15-8) rounding out the top four. “When I finally jumped 16-6, all of the pressure fell off my shoulders and I was able to relax and enjoy myself,” Blankenship said. “I’m happy

that I was able to do something big here, and I couldn’t have done it without the Uhles pushing me.” Coach Ed Rarey said Blankenship’s work ethic enabled him to persevere and excel on a hot, humid day. “We’ve had several athletes win state championships and break state records in my years at Gahanna Lincoln, and all I can say is great things happen to great people,” said Rarey, who

completed his 59th season leading the Lions. “Nobody works harder than Jake Blankenship and that was reflected in his performance.” Chris Uhle predicted that Blankenship will win another state title and set a new state record next year. “For sure, Jake will go higher than this next year,” he said. “He looks like the top dog going See TRACK, page B2

Softball

Chemistry helped propel Lions to state final By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A two-inning span during its Division I state semifinal game against West Chester Lakota West on June 3 at Akron Firestone Stadium was an example of what helped the Gahanna Lincoln High School softball team come close to achieving unprecedented success this spring. With the Lions leading 3-1 to begin the fourth inning, the Firebirds’Amanda Lahti smashed a groundball that took a bad hop and struck the right cheek of junior shortstop Sarah Seidel. Although the play began a five-run inning for Lakota West, Gahanna sent eight batters to the plate and scored four runs, including the eventual winner, in the bottom of the fifth on the way to a 9-6 victory. That sequence, according to coach Jim Campolo, showed that this year’s ensemble not only had the ability to hit throughout the lineup but that the camaraderie among the players was strong. Gahanna lost to North Canton Hoover 4-2 the next day in the state championship game, dropping it to 0-2 in state finals. The Lions lost 2-0 to Whitehouse Anthony Wayne in the 2003 state final. “They were more worried

Marshall said after the game that she wished her team had another shot at the Vikings, who finished with a 29-3 record. “We gave a pretty good run but just came up a little short,” said Campolo, who completed his 11th season as coach. “We definitely hit the ball right at them and they made some good defensive plays. We didn’t adjust to their pitcher very well. She was basically a curveball, dropball pitcher and worked on the outside all game. We should have tried to put the ball into

Marshall and senior pitcher Brandis Fishel singled and Seidel walked to load the bases with no outs.

fly and a groundball by sophomore Sara Nelson was bobbled by the Lakota West third baseman, allowing Schumacher to score the go-ahead run. Schumacher and Sheets each added RBI singles in the sixth. “We’re a comeback team, so honestly we’re used (to being behind),” Marshall said. “I had faith in our team.” See SOFTBALL, page B2

Academy Roundup

Girls lacrosse squad, 3,200 relay win titles By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Columbus Academy girls lacrosse team captured its first state championship since 2000, beating Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown 13-11 in the Division II state final June 4 at Gates Mills Hawken. The Vikings, who finished 161-1 overall, jumped out to a 61 first-half lead before holding off the Blazers. “This is awesome,” coach Anne Horton said. “We’ve been such a work in progress over the last several years with the reconfiguration of the state alignment dividing into Division I and Division II. It’s given our program kind of a shot in the arm that we’ve had a chance to compete for another state championship.” With the victory, Academy avenged state semifinal losses to Hathaway Brown each of the past two seasons. The Vikings lost to the Blazers 13-10 in 2009 and lost 19-13 last season. “Our team was so passionate and we really wanted it this year,” sophomore Courtney Deena said. “Nobody could have stopped us. We’re just so excited.” In the state final, junior Meredith McCloud led the Vikings with four goals, followed by Deena and senior Allie Roehrenbeck with three apiece. Junior goalkeeper Sarah Wilson had 11 saves. “We knew we had to work as a team,” Roehrenbeck said. “We needed to communicate and just play our game.” Academy opened the South/Central Region tournament by beating Hilliard Bradley 166 on May 19. The Vikings then defeated Cincinnati Summit Country Day 10-8 in a regional

semifinal on May 24, beat Columbus School for Girls 1413 in a regional final on May 26 and defeated Rocky River 11-10 in a state semifinal on June 3. Against Rocky River, Roehrenbeck scored the winning goal with 8 seconds left. Academy also won the Central Independent League for the second year in a row, going 7-0 to finish ahead of Hartley (5-2), Wellington (5-2), CSG (4-2), Watterson (3-3), Bexley (2-5), DeSales (1-6) and Granville (0-7).

The Vikings’ lone setback was a 13-10 loss to Cincinnati Mariemont on April 15. They tied Hudson Western Reserve Academy at 7 on April 30. “The team had to believe in themselves, have trust among their teammates and building off of that and the great leadership, and with those three pillars of groundwork, it certainly gave us time to develop our core unit that just continued to grow through the course of the season,” Horton said.

TRACK into next year, because he’s already at the top and he’s always working hard to get better.” Blankenship, who was the boys team’s only state qualifier, scored 10 points at state, enabling the Lions to tie six other teams for 22nd behind champion Cincinnati LaSalle (36) as 78 teams scored. •Despite competing with a turf toe injury on her left foot, sophomore Lynnsey Brim placed second in the long jump (18-8 3/4) in the Division I girls state meet behind Middleburg Heights Midpark senior Kaila Barber (19-1 3/4). Brim placed third (18-8 3/4) at state last year behind Barber (19-8 1/4) and Middletown’s Fabia McDonald (18-10). “I felt more healthy during this last part of the season and I hit my mark on the board,” Brim said. “Thank goodness I was able to jump this well and get second.” Brim was in first place through the first three jumps after clearing 18-8 1/2 on her first attempt and 18-8 3/4 on her third attempt. However, Barber cleared 18-9 on her fourth jump and 19-1 3/4 on her fifth jump, and Brim fouled on her last two attempts. “Lynnsey had a great first jump and that really took the pressure off of her,” coach Roger Whittaker said. “Lynnsey led through the first half of the meet, but Barber’s the defending state champion and she was like a wily cat, watching for her chance to do what it took to win.” Whittaker said Brim is in the process of moving to Texas. “This was her last meet competing for us, and that’s harder to deal with than not winning the state championship,” Whittaker said. “But if she

Roehrenbeck led the team in scoring with 49 goals and 22 assists, followed by Deena (45 goals, 4 assists) and Leickly (43 goals, 6 assists). Wilson finished with 151 saves.

We have one senior (at state in Sutton) who is leaving and then they’ll all be coming back and trying this thing again.” The Vikings scored 20 points to tie Defiance Tinora for fifth behind champion McDonald (44) as 73 teams scored. “We knew we could come out here and do this,” Hilsheimer said. “We were so pumped. We’re really excited.” The girls team was represented at state by sophomore Sarah Timko, who placed 12th in the high jump by clearing 5 feet.

with 29 RBI and 31 runs and made first-team allstate. Fishel went 19-8 with 126 strikeouts and also was one of the team’s top hitters while batting cleanup. Montana Fishel (CF) and Busby, who hit first and second, respectively, and Seidel were among a seven-member junior class. The other junior starters were Sheets (LF) and Emily Vinsel (1B), while rounding out the class were Katie Jarvis and Abby Lanthorn. Schumacher (RF) and Nelson (designated player) also were regulars in the batting order, and freshman Becca Gavin started at catcher. Nelson could be among the candidates to take over in the circle next year, along with sophomore Emmalee Harding and freshman Hannah Smith. Freshmen T’awnna Morris and Rachel Zink were among those who saw time during the state tournament as courtesy runners. “We’ve got a few pitchers coming back, and I gave them a challenge,” Campolo said. “They’ve got to come back and be a lot better than they are now, and I think they will. I think they’ll work hard at it. It’s just a matter of pitching this summer and working through the winter. I’m a firm believer in hitting your spots and changing speeds.”

Gahanna finished 20-11 overall and went 113 in the OCC-Ohio Division to place second, behind Groveport (13-1) and ahead of Pickerington Central (10-4), Grove City (8-6), Pickerington North (6-8), Lancaster (4-10), Newark (410) and Reynoldsburg (0-14). Seeded second in the district tournament, the Lions had a first-round bye and beat Dublin Scioto 11-0 in five innings in the second round on May 12 and Upper Arlington 10-0 in five innings in a district semifinal on May 20 to advance to a district final, where they beat Delaware 7-6 on May 21. Gahanna then defeated Copley 7-6 in a regional semifinal on May 25 and Central Crossing 4-3 in a regional final on May 28 at Ohio State to advance to state. The tournament run followed a regular season in which the Lions lost eight of their final 10. Gahanna loses four seniors, including Brandis Fishel and Marshall, who will play for Ohio Dominican and Miami University, respectively. Both players, as well as junior second baseman Tanya Busby, made first-team all-district while Seidel made second-team. The other seniors were backup outfielder Megan Lowe and backup third baseman Jennifer Oberdier. Busby was the team’s top hitter, batting over julrey@thisweeknews.com .500 with 29 runs.

Paris Jenkins of Gahanna Christian competes in the 100 meters during the Division III state track and field meet June 3 at Ohio State. Jenkins finished 12th.

Junior Anthony Dowden (2B/P) hit .367. Other seniors were Joey Belczak (OF), Michael Dixon (OF), Cody Thomas (INF/P) and Joshua Welk (OF). “The seniors’ leadership ability was huge,” coach Scott Jemson said. “As they come to practice and take part in the games, the underclassmen learn a lot from the seniors. The seniors are teachers on the field. They teach by example.” Also on the team were jun-

Gahanna Christian Academy sprinter Paris Jenkins left the Division III girls state track and field meet on June 3 at Ohio State with no regrets. The senior was the Eagles’ only state qualifier in their first season as a track program. She finished 12th in the 100 meters in 12.8 seconds, failing to advance to the final on June 4. The top nine finishers in the preliminaries advanced to the final. “This was a good experience,” said Jenkins, who qualified for state by running a 12.52 in the regional meet held May 25 and 27 at Fairfield Union. “I messed up in the blocks, but this is going to make me stronger. As soon as I tripped, I knew it was over, but I still finished the race. You always have to finish.” “We’re very happy,” coach Bill Dunston said. “It’s disappointing when she gets in there with the eighth fastest out of 16 qualifying times, so she had a very good chance of making it to the finals if she hadn’t had that slip. That was a little disappointing, but our program overall has been great this year, so we were real happy with the outcome being a first-year program and we have a state competitor already.” Jenkins qualified for state by
