City’s best card trumped by AOL sale When Tree of Life bought property, UA lost its chance to land Bob Evans By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Now that the news is public that the Bob Evans Farms headquarters is moving to New Albany, Upper Arlington city officials have revealed that they were aggressively courting the company to pur-

chase the former AOL/Time Warner building at 5000 Arlington Centre Blvd. Tree of Life Christian Schools purchased the property in August, ending negotiations between the city and Bob Evans Farms. “Once Tree of Life moved ahead on the property, we weren’t able to contin-

ue talks with Bob Evans or any other potential commercial users,” said Emma Speight, deputy city manager for community affairs. “We have limited commercial space to offer, so this was a disappointment. Our zoning is meant to preserve the integrity of the community — which includes the financial integrity.”

According to Speight, about 90 percent of the city is zoned for residential use — the appropriate zoning for a school. The city advised Tree of Life to use the rezoning process prior to the purchase of the property. After failed attempts by Tree of Life to obtain a conditional use permit, a fed-

The city of Upper Arlington is considering the possibility of allowing alcohol to be served at events at Sunny 95 Park’s barn when the facility officially opens this summer. Upper Arlington City Council members and city officials discussed the issue at the March 14 council meeting. Parks and recreation director Tim Moloney said he researched how neighboring municipalities such as Columbus and Dublin have handled alcohol at park facilities. Moloney said Columbus has been able to increase revenue at its downtown North Bank Park shelter house by allowing patrons to reserve the facility at a premium rate and serve alcohol by caterers approved by the city. The caterers are only allowed to serve alcohol, not to sell it, he said. “There can be no cash bar and no ticketing,” Moloney said. “There can’t even be a tip jar on the bar during the event.” Moloney said a similar policy could work for the Sunny 95 barn. “Our goal is to have a list of preferred caterers in a wide variety of price ranges,” Moloney said. The city could also allow patrons to select their own caterers as long as they follow a process to have them approved by the city, he added. Council gave city attorney Jeanine Hummer the go-ahead to draft legislation allowing alcohol service at the barn. The legislation will come before council at an as-yet-to-be-determined point in the near future. Council members said they would like to limit alcohol service to the Sunny 95 barn and see how that goes before expanding to other park facilities. Council also indicated it would be willing to allow

End of an era

Ben Cason retires asThisWeek executive editor By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Friday, March 18, marks the end of an era at ThisWeek Community Newspapers. Late that afternoon, vice president and executive editor Ben Cason will shut down his computer, gather his cell phone and coat and quietly stroll out of the newsroom the way he has every week since 1993. However, come Monday morning, for the first

time in 18 years, he won’t be leading a newsroom discussion on politics or the NCAA basketball tournament. Cason announced his retirement to ThisWeek staffers March 11, concluding a career that spanned the height of the Ben Cason Watergate era as an editor at The Washington Post to building one of the nation’s most respected community newspaper or-

ganizations. Under Cason’s leadership, ThisWeek Community Newspapers have won hundreds of state, regional and national awards for journalistic excellence. More importantly, general manager Stephen Zonars said, Cason won the loyalty of hundreds of thousands of central Ohio readers. “Ben has been the heartbeat of ThisWeek Community Newspapers for 18 years, and his contributions are immeasurable,” Zonars said. “On his watch, the readership of our papers has grown by

UACA sets March 30 deadline for junior director applications By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Members of Upper Arlington’s junior class have an opportunity to earn a scholarship just by participating in several local events. The Upper Arlington Civic Association (UACA) is accepting applications until March 30 for its Junior Director Scholarship Program. Eight students will be chosen for $1,000 scholarships and serve as Junior Directors for one year, starting May 2011. Because of budget constraints last year, seven students were chosen for $500 scholarships. Applicants must reside in UA and be in their junior year of high school (or home schooling). They

need to complete an application (available at www.uaca.org) and send two letters of recommendation from church, community leaders, employers or school. The applicants will be interviewed April 10-12 at the main branch of the UA Public Library. Forty to fifty students usually apply for junior director positions every year. The UACA is looking for polite, well-spoken students who are willing to work hard on events that involve children, including Christmas in the Park, the Easter Egg Hunt, Haunted Forest, the Memorial Day run and the Fourth of July. Work on the Fourth features decorating a float for the parade, and the other events often include dressing up in costumes.

dyslexia. Instead, the district refers to “reading with a disability.” “That’s because that’s in the federal guidelines,” Binkley said. “There are, I think, 13 different ways to identify a student with a disability. Learning disability with a focus on reading is one of them. Dyslexia is not a federally accepted term.” In addition to examining “how we’re using personnel to deliver reading instruction,” the sub-committees are also examining about eight different curricula and attempting to match potential programs with the needs of children in the district, Binkley said.

the subject.” Among UA KID’s objections are that the district is waiting until the third grade to provide dyslexic intervention services. SmithRipper said third grade is “the end of the road for dyslexia intervention.” Board members unanimously approved the continuation of Gordon’s contract, along with 11 other administrative contracts, following an executive session. After the meeting, associate superintendent Dr. Debora Binkley said the district identifies “kids who have dyslexic-like tendencies,” but they do not use the term khetrick@thisweeknews.com

The students are required to spend seven to eight days working on seven events over the course of a year to earn their scholarship, officials said. “They are kind of like the workhorses,” Collis said. “I’m impressed with every single student we’ve worked with this past year. They came to every assignment they were given. They don’t whine, they don’t complain. It’s really refreshing to see these young kids and how enthusiastic they are to work on these projects.”

According to Tree of Life Superintendent Todd Marrah, the building is currently being used for school offices, a ministry center, retreats and special events, while the gymnasium is being used for the Upward Sports basketball program. Tree of Life is leasing the building’s data center to Expedient Communications, but has no plans to lease any other parts of the property. “Currently we’re using the building consistent with how it is zoned,” Marrah said. “We are preparing to move our elementary school in as soon as we win the injunction.” Attorneys from the Alliance Defense Fund filed a motion for a preliminary injunction with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, according to ADF spokesperson Michelle Fortin. If the injunction is granted, it would allow Tree of Life to occupy the building as a school and hold classes, prior to the judge’s ruling on the lawsuit Tree of Life Christian Schools v. City of Upper Arlington. “A plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction must establish that he is likely to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest,” according to U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Winter v. Natural Res. Def. establishing the current standards for granting an injunction. Speight said that this is a zoning issue and not a discrimination issue. The city would treat any school the same way under the same scenario, requiring it to follow the rezoning process. “I am disappointed that they are pursuing this injunction,” said assistant city manager Joe Valentino. “I would hope they would consider dropping the case and instead allow the voters to decide.” The city rezoning process allows for public input during BZAP and city council hearings. Afterwards, if the desired zoning change is not approved, one option is to put a referendum on the ballot before voters. Tree of Life officials, however, said they did not feel this was an appropriate route to take. “I’ve spoken with several city leaders around Columbus and asked them what they would do in my position,” Marrah said. “The fact is we have the constitutional right to use the space how we want.” He said Columbus area leaders he’s spoken to “agree that the city of Upper Arlington is wrong on this issue and said there is no reason to spend all sorts of money (on a referendum) trying to convince voters of something we already have the right to do.”

“They have a commitment to the civic association to volunteer and help,” UACA president Chris Reinke said of the junior directors. “I think it’s rewarding for us as adults, many of us with children, to see high school students being involved in an activity outside the school, outside sports and see their level of enjoyment. Their dedication is really neat.” “Most of these kids have pretty incredible resumes,” said Beth Collis, committee chairman for the junior director program. “Every year, a percentage of students who apply, their parents are former directors. That is a good indication for us that they come from a family of volunteers who know the community.”

nonprofit organizations the additional option of selling alcohol at fundraising events. “As past president of Northwest Kiwanis, I think it would be less attractive to not allow them to sell,” council member Erik Yassenoff said. “It would affect your ability to raise money.” Hummer said council will have to vote to change city ordinances that currently ban alcohol at public facilities. Police Chief Brian Quinn said it would not be necessary to require patrons to hire an off-duty police officer to provide security at events where alcohol is served, but the city could give patrons the option of doing so at their own expense. “If they want to pay for it, we’ll certainly do so,” Quinn said.

In other business March 14, council unanimously voted to select executive search firm Ralph Andersen & Associates of Rocklin, Calif., to conduct the search for a new city manager to replace Virginia Barney when she retires at the end of the year. Ralph Andersen & Associate’s proposed fee is $19,500 plus expenses such as advertising and travel reimbursement, not to exceed $6,000. Council member Ed Seidel said the wording of the proposal indicates that the city could be billed for additional expenses. Council unanimously took Barney’s suggestion that they approve a contract in an amount not to exceed $30,000 and that city staff will hammer out the details with Renschler. “We’ll clarify what she said,” Barney said.

UA firefighters take the stairs faster than almost anyone else Cystic Fibrosis Foundation benefits from climb By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Teams from the Upper Arlington Division of Fire finished first and third among firefighter teams in the relay stair climb competition held March 5 in the 40-story Rhodes Office Tower in downtown Columbus. At the 2011 Cystic Fibrosis Foundation “Climb for a CureBattle of the Badges,” four-person teams had to rush up ten flights of stairs in full gear. The first-place UAFD team, consisting of Rex Holman, Justin Farley, Mike Lenix, and Dave Wheeler, finished in a time of 4:05:49. Placing third was the team of Josh Moore, Bob Nichols, Alan Thompson and Mark Weade with a time of 4:47.68. Two teams of policemen were

a couple of seconds faster than the winning UAFD team, but they wore only T-shirts, shorts and their bulletproof vests. In comparison, the firefighters were loaded down with 60 pounds of firefighting gear and breathing from their air bottles as they ran. “In our friendly competition with them (the police), we like to point out the fact that we’re restricted a little more in terms of the stuff we’re carrying and wearing,” said UAFD spokesman Dan Kochensparger.

Since 2007, the UA fire division has competed and excelled in the relay stair climb, with several teams taking part each year. They also raise money to battle cystic fibrosis (an inherited chronic lung disease in children and young adults) with their entry fees and through pledges. One firefighter, Alan Thompson, raised $1,600 in pledges. “We have a friendly rivalry with some of the other departments and even amongst ourselves,” Thompson said. “We

know Ben won’t be there,” she said. “We’re losing a wealth of experience and institutional knowledge — but I think I can safely say that Ben’s influence will continue to be felt for a long time.” “Ben came to ThisWeek three months before me,” Cochran said. “Soon after I started, he explained his plan for improving the papers, and it’s a vision he has followed ever since and one that will continue. The success we’ve had at ThisWeek is a credit to Ben and his vision. He knew what it took to be a successful newspaper and led us there. “He is a leader, a mentor and, most importantly, a friend. He will be missed by our readers and our newsroom.” After graduating from the University of Florida, Cason took a job at The St. Petersburg Times, where he met his wife, Carol. Cason was news editor at The Washington Post during the Watergate scandal that eventually toppled President Richard Nixon.

He said the Watergate episode was one of the most interesting times in his career. As news editor of The Post during that era, he put together many of the paper’s historic front pages. Cason said working for newspapers that were family-owned has been important to him. “I feel fortunate to have worked for family-run operations almost my entire career — the Wolfe family in Columbus, the Graham family at The Washington Post and Nelson Poynter at The St. Petersburg Times,” Cason said. “Journalism is almost always better when it’s run by families who live in the communities than by faceless large newspaper chains.” Cason said he remains a proponent of community journalism. “I think community journalism is the future of journalism,” he said. The Casons are the parents of two sons:Alexander lives in Charlotte, N.C.; David, his wife, Julie, and their two sons live in Worthington.

had two teams compete this year, and we’re trying to beat each other. I wanted to be the first place team, and it was fun to razz each other.” Thompson, 41, said the firefighters are supposed to work out 90 minutes in the morning while they are on duty as long as there isn’t a fire. That helps keep them in shape, but Station 71 is only three stories high and not ideal for training. So in the month prior to the contest, the firefighters run the stairwells of the Motorists Insurance building in downtown Columbus during the weekends so they can be ready for the Rhodes Tower. “It really helps our cardiovascular health,” Thompson said of the training, which he said is especially important in a rescue situation.

Ben’s legacy will be that his brand of journalism will live on through our staff because Ben showed them the way as he coached, mentored and nurtured them. Ben leaves us in good hands.” Two of Cason’s first hires after he arrived at ThisWeek were Lee Cochran, now assistant managing editor and sports editor, and Sandy Wallace, news editor. “I came to ThisWeek from a small daily, and it took some time for me to get used to the different pace and schedule of weekly papers,” Wallace said. “But Ben’s vision for the papers was very clear. It was all about better reporting, better editing, better writing. For Ben, content is key, regardless of whether it’s in print or online. “It will be very strange to walk in the newsroom on March 21 and

Plus, it’s fun to beat other firemen and police. “We get a chance to raise money and make a difference,” Thompson said. “Cystic fibrosis is a pretty rough disease. I happen to know a family that has

two kids with cystic fibrosis, and it puts a face on that disease to me, and it inspires me to raise money and train for it.” gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Astronomical government spending over the past years has pushed our national debt to more than $14-trillion and counting. My daughter, Sarah, is over a year old and when she was born, her share of the national debt was $35,000. Today, it is around $45,000. This is alarming, and Congress must start making the tough decisions on spending so we can provide our children with a better future. Many federal programs have received funding increases over the last several years that outpaced both inflation and the growth of the American family budget. In fact, over the past two years, regular non-defense, discretionary funding has increased by 24 percent, while the stimulus bill alone cost around $821-billion. This spending spree is unacceptable and unsustainable. Across Ohio and the nation, families prioritize their own budgets to make ends meet and they should expect no less of Congress. We did not land in this spending crisis overnight and we will not turn around it around overnight; however, vote by vote, Congress can reduce the out-of-control spending and debt. The U.S. House of Representatives has already moved forward in reducing government spending in a number of ways. It was important that the first step in putting the nation’s fiscal house in order was to start by cutting our own office budgets by 5 percent, for a savings of around $35.2-million. Then in January, we voted to repeal the health care law, which would See LENTZ, page A5 cut new spending by $2.6-trillion over 10 years and reduce the deficit by $700-billion.

porations in America. But for all of that, most freight was still moved in wooden cars: box cars, tank ED cars or open LENTZ top “gondola” cars. Many of these cars had to be unloaded by hand. Joseph Ralston, working with a young engineer named Anton Becker, developed plans for a new type of car. The entire car would be made of durable steel and would have a series of 16 trap doors along its bottom to permit coal or anything else to be quickly unloaded. Building a sample car, the two young inventors demonstrated their product to some railroads that hauled a lot of coal. Several of them in Columbus said they would buy the new car if the inventors could find a place to manufacture it. They did just that. The Rarig Engineering Co. had been in business for some time at a distance from downtown Columbus along the rail lines that came into town from the east. Rarig had had some success making engines for industrial use, boilers, and even the superstructure for iron bridges. In the years before the Spanish American War, the company decided that its future lay in what we would today call “defense contracts.” The Navy was expanding in size and influence. The Army was more involved in

more places more frequently, as well. All of these people would need heavy-duty artillery and the ordnance carriages to hold them. With outbreak of the Spanish American War, the company converted to wartime production in the confident assumption that the war would last for some time. The war lasted for 90 days. Not long thereafter, for a number of reasons, the company went out of business. It was at this fortuitous moment that Joseph Ralston and Anton Becker came to town looking for a factory location. They found the Rarig site. Beginning in 1905, Ralston and his financial backers began a process that was nothing short of amazing. Rarig Engineering had a big factory building but little about it had anything to do with building rail cars. The new company took the building and began to build rail cars. While this went on, it completely gutted the interior of the old building and then proceeded to build a brand new building several hundred feet long to accommodate an assembly line to produce rail cars. When all of that was done, the company then went back and tore down the old building and replaced it with a new building. And while all of this was happening, it continued to build steel cars. Between 1906 and 1911, the company built more than 10,000 of the new cars and soon found

Ralston Steel Car Co. was Inaction on federal spending, ‘a truly great’ enterprise national debt unacceptable It was an immense operation: At its height, the Ralston Steel Car Co. employed hundreds of people. Much of it is gone now. A few of the factory buildings remain. But in its time —for almost 50 years — the Ralston Steel Car Co. was a great Columbus success. That story and the story of the man who made it happen are well worth retelling. Joseph Stevenson Ralston was born near Hamilton, Ontario, in 1865. His father, Robert Ralston, was a recent immigrant from Ireland. His mother, Sarah Springer Ralston, came from a family that had been in America since 1680 but had fled to Canada during the American Revolution because of their loyalty to the crown. Like a number of people in Canada, and certainly like many more in the United States, Joseph Ralston was a restless young man. After receiving a basic education, Ralston went to sea on a ship called the City of Calcutta out of Glasgow, Scotland. After a four-year apprenticeship, he came home, but soon was on the move once again. He spent a year in a lumber camp in Michigan and followed that with another year as a newspaper reporter. He then turned to the sale of real estate for a time and then began to read law at night while he worked during the day. He would never practice law, but he would always claim its study helped him in his later activities. Along the way, he married Anna Mar of Caledonia, Ontario. They had four children, three of whom lived to adulthood. By the turn of the century, Joseph Ralston was working in Chicago for a large manufacturer of railroad cars. To anyone who lives in central Ohio today and arrives at a railroad crossing — with dozens of coal cars passing by — it may come as some surprise to learn there was a time not all that long ago when most of those coal cars did not exist. At the turn of the 20th century, the railroads were some of the most powerful cor-

STEVE debt Speaker STIVERS Boehner recently announced, the next step will be entitlement reform. When addressing this issue, we need to ensure that promises made are promises kept and those who are reliant on these programs today are not adversely impacted. However, we need to make certain that these programs are not just around for our parents or ourselves but that they are still around for our children and grandchildren. The longer we put off reform of these programs, the harder it will be to fix down the road. Republicans and Democrats need to work together for Congress to make any progress on this issue. I look forward to having an open and honest conversation with my

colleagues on both sides of the aisle on entitlement reform in the coming months. If we want to give our children a brighter future where they are not buried under a mountain of debt, then we need to learn to live within our means today. That is why this Congress has made reducing government spending a priority and we will continue to move forward with our commitment to restore fiscal responsibility to our country. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments on cutting government spending or any other federal issue. You can contact my central Ohio district office at (614) 299-6415 or my Washington, D.C., office at (202) 225-2015. For more information on where I stand on the issues, you can sign up for my enewsletter at www.stivers.house. gov.

Twenty-six participants turned out at the Municipal Services Center March 10, accepting the city’s invitation to discuss how to focus resources to improve quality of life and the desirability of the community. The event was the third public conversation hosted by city council’s community facilities & services committee, which is reviewing the 17 master plan facilities objectives that were adopted in 2001. The master plan is required to be reviewed every 10 years. Assistant city manager Joe Valentino facilitated the conversation, which was done in a “cafe style.” Participants broke into groups of four around small tables in the municipal building’s concourse gallery. Valentino led the groups through a series of questions: What negatively impacts your quality of life? How do you define quality of life? If the city was your household, what criteria would you use to allocate resources? What are the top three to five things that brought you to, or keep you in, UA?” Residents at each table discussed their answers one question at a time, with one member reported his or her table’s consensus to the larger group before taking up the next question. Named as having a negative effect on quality of life were traffic, speeds and bad roads; lack of sidewalks and walking and biking accessibility; safety concerns; economic uncertainty, high taxes and fees; and onerous regulations on property. The groups all defined quality of life similarly. One group summed it up as, “the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It’s

the ability to do what you want to do as long as you don’t negatively impact others.” Asked about resource allocation, most of the groups responded with a prioritized list of where funding should Joe go. Topping that list were pubValentino lic utilities and infrastructure, safety, public education and recreation. Separating wants and needs is required as the first level of prioritizing, they agreed. The final question, regarding what keeps people living in Upper Arlington, led to a handful of recurring answers: high quality schools, location, city services and safety. At the end of the event, Valentino asked participants to state one thing about the conversation that affected them. “I was impressed by the relatively minor negative responses and the relative consensus and positive attitude,” participant Bob Harmon said. Several participants commented on this positive attitude and a focus on fulfilling the basic needs of the community. “I am really impacted by the can-do attitude of this group and our community,” participant Catherine Hackett said. Council member Debbie Johnson, the committee chair, expressed thanks for the turn out and participation. “There has been a good mix of new people attending each one of these conversations,” Johnson said. “People want their voices heard, so I think it is important that we give them that chance. “Right now, it’s apparent that people see quality of life as getting back to the basics,” she said.

them shipped to all parts of the world. As just one example, in 1909, the company sold 50 of its cars to the South Manchurian Railway and sent the entire consignment to China in pieces, packed in crates. Over the years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. built not only a factory but an entire community on the East Side of Columbus. The area sat on the north side of the rail yards to the east of Milo Grogan. It was a selfcontained world with most of its residents earning their livelihoods at the great factory. Joseph Ralston died in 1920. F. E. Simons led the company from 1920 to 1935 and he was followed by Frank Livingston in the years after World War II. Through all of those years, the Ralston Steel Car Co. was one of the great industrial businesses of Columbus. Changes in America’s rail transport business after World War II made the company less competitive and it went out of business in 1953. If you visit the near East Side of Columbus today it is still not all that difficult to find the streets and structures and other traces of the Ralston Steel Car Co. — a truly great American enterprise.

Mills James expands capacity, but without adding to building By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Changes in technology have resulted in a local media company expanding its production facilities without expanding its building. Mills James Creative Media, based at 3545 Fishinger Blvd., recently announced the construction of a new production studio, two new video post-production suites, and a series of HD video and transmission upgrades. Construction began last November. “In the last six to nine months, there’s been a lot of expansion in electronic media,” said Mills James spokesman Scott Rankin. “There are a couple of reasons for that. The whole world is migrating over to high definition, and more clients needed services done in high def. “Some of that was driven by changes going on in communications technology, especially with the growth of online video,” he said. “More people are carrying smart phones, the iPad is becoming a big deal, and with more people and companies using mobile video, there’s just more work to be done in marketing and advertising.”

“That increasing business volume means we needed to respond with additional studio and postproduction capacity as well as more powerful media tools,” Ken Mills, president, said in a statement. “Most meetings and corporate events depend on large-image projection for videos and presentations, and we’ve upgraded our technology systems to the latest generation of high definition,” said CEO Cameron James. Mills James was founded in 1984 and built its production facility in the Mill Run business district in 1990. That facility has had two studios, even when the building was doubled in 1996. Rankin said the new Studio C was designed for live news feeds for corporations and broadcast networks. For example, when Kirk Herbstreit needs to appear on ESPN, he’s at Mills James instead of going to ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn. (Herbstreit recently announced that he is moving to Nashville.) “It wasn’t done just for Kirk, but there are other clients who need that type of capability to either go live or do a product shot that doesn’t involve a big studio setup,” Rankin said. The studio was built in a space

in the building that was originally a media vault, where tapes and DVDs were permanently stored for clients. “Today, a lot of that stuff is not stored on tape or disc — it’s stored to hard drives and computer memory,” Rankin said. “As a result, there’s been less space required for storage of physical media. So they had a chance to repurpose that space and build Studio C.” Another improvement was adding two more video editing suites for a total of 12. “With 12 suites, we’re configured for every different type of editorial need,” said Scott Lanum, vice president of Teleproduction Services. “TV spots, corporate media, webbased video, news, and broadcast television programming.” Rankin said the video server has also been upgraded to 56 terabytes, or more than twice the memory storage capacity of the IBM Watson supercomputer that won on the game show Jeopardy recently. “Not that it’s going to go on Jeopardy or supposed be smart,” he said. “It’s just supposed to be big and store a lot of stuff.” gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Boys Tennis

Haddow to take over as Jaguars’ coach By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tom Haddow didn’t discover the joy of tennis until he was in high school. Recently hired to be boys tennis coach at the Wellington School, Haddow hopes to keep students from making the same decision. “Growing up, I was more focused on playing baseball until the summer before my sophomore year,” said Haddow, a 1986 Watterson graduate. “I regret that a lot. (Starting to play tennis when you’re

younger) makes a big difference. “My parents told me the great thing about tennis is you can play it forever. Now I see what they mean.” Haddow hasn’t stopped playing since taking up the sport. He played singles for Eckerd College in Tampa, Fla., one of the top Division II programs in the country. After graduating in 1990, he was a graduate assistant for two years at the University of Northern Alabama before serving as the men’s coach at Ohio Wesleyan the past seven years. In addition,

he has taught tennis at Northam Park and the Olympic Indoor tennis facility. “Tom is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the game of tennis,” athletics director Liz Clapacs said. “We have some competitive players coming back and we felt like he would be a great fit for our program.” Haddow will be the Jaguars’ third coach in four seasons, following Dan Sebastian and Klint McEnery. Haddow replaces McEnery, who coached the Jaguars to an 11-18 record the past two seasons.

Over the past three seasons, senior Ian Wagner has represented the Jaguars at the Division II state tournament in singles. Wagner placed fourth as a freshman, third as a sophomore and finished in the top eight last year. As a team, however, the Jaguars have struggled to find success, having only two winning seasons in the past five seasons, including a 3-12 finish last year. “Wellington has always been known for having a good No. 1 player, but I’d like for us to have some team success,”

Haddow said. “I know some of the younger players we have coming up and we have the potential to build some sort of tennis reputation. I’ve told guys that I am a team guy. I’m going to stress teamwork and being competitive and respecting the game. “My main goal is to build the fitness of this team. One of the things you always hear about tennis is it’s great for staying fit and keeping you active.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Commentary

‘Old Barn’ remains Young at heart We are in the final days of one of my favorite times of the year — the district and regional boys basketball tournaments in the Fairgrounds Coliseum. Over the 16 years that I have written for ThisWeek Community Newspapers and the 43 years that I have been part of the media covering these exciting games, I have talked about these special days that those of us LARRY who love these events get to LARSON spend together for three or four weeks. It is a homecoming for a group of individuals who work very hard to make these games enjoyable for the teams, coaches and fans. Of these individuals, none has worked harder for the past two decades than tournament director Ralph Young, who is retiring after the games this weekend. He has dedicated his life to the betterment of the world of education and has been a wonderful, soft-spoken leader for all of us who work this tournament. “I can honestly state that I have enjoyed coming to this tournament every day,” said Young, who was business manager for seven years before beginning his 12-year stint as tournament director, following the late Bill Alspach. “When I am asked about what I will remember most about this experience, it is real simple. It is the people that I have enjoyed most and I thank God that I can remember most of them. “It is the coaches, the officials, the kids, the workers and the fans that have made this so memorable. I have really loved every phase of the job I have been assigned to do and one of the main things I have learned along the way is that every person that works with you is unique and if you just stand back and let them do their job, what a job they will do. We haven’t really changed much over the years, but I feel that if the wheel isn’t broke, you don’t need to fix it.” Reflecting on his tenure at the Fairgrounds, Young said, “This has been such a great staff to work with and I learned so much from Bill Alspach. He taught me the importance of being a good listener. He taught me to let people talk and express their views and he told me about how much you can learn from that. It was so great to work with Bill and I miss his friendship, but my wife, Nancy, and I still have Bill’s wife, Polly, to share stories with and that is a treasure to us. “Polly is just as much a fixture at the (Fairgrounds) that Bill was and we love having her with us at the games. I also am so blessed to have had Nancy right by my side through all these years. She has been such a help to me. She has shared her honest opinion on things involving the tournament and has been so great in helping me remember to get all the little things done.” Much like the things I have written about the Fairgrounds and the

Girls Swimming & Diving

Dual loss motivated Bears to title By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Members of the Upper Arlington High School girls swimming and diving team took a long, hard look at themselves after losing to Gates Mills Hawken 101-82 in a dual meet Dec. 6. The Golden Bears didn’t like what they saw. The loss served as a catalyst that helped propel UA to its seventh consecutive Division I state championship. “Hawken embarrassed us,” coach Dan Peterkoski said. “That early look in the mirror really helped us as the season went on.”

Sophomore Max Jelen summed up the season for the Upper Arlington High School boys swimming and diving team in one word — redemption. The Golden Bears captured their first Division I district championship since 2005, scoring 432.5 points at the district meet that concluded Feb. 19 at Ohio State to finish ahead runner-up St. Charles (347.5), and placed third at the state meet Feb. 24-26 at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton with 150 points, behind Cincinnati St. Xavier (312) and Toledo St. Francis (298). “Last year, losing the district title by .5 of a point (to St. Charles) was just heartbreaking,” said Jelen, whose team scored 399 points at district last season to place second to St. Charles (399.5). “You think, ‘If I would’ve

Caserta blossomed as a senior, finishing 48-11. During the regular season, he placed second in the Olentangy Invitational on Dec. 4, the James V. Horning Memorial on Jan. 22 and the Delaware Invitational on Feb. 5 and finished third in the North Canton Hoover Invitational on Dec. 17-18. Caserta then capped his career with a strong postseason, winning the Division II sectional on Feb. 19 at Hilliard Bradley, finishing second at district Feb. 25-26 at Columbus East and placing fifth at state March 3-5 at Ohio State. “Al was a hammer for us all year,” coach Matt Hammons said. “He moved up to wrestle at 135 to help the team out in duals, and he had a lot of success at both 130 and 135. Al’s a wicked scrambler. When you get in a dogfight with him, most of the time you’re going to end up on the bottom.”

Although Chase Delande of the Hilliard Davidson High School wrestling team won the Division I state title at 145 pounds, he’s still going to be treated like the younger brother of Bo and Spencer. Both Bo Delande, a 2007 Davidson graduate, and Spencer Delande, a 2009 graduate, were state qualifiers as seniors, but neither made the kind of run the youngest Delande did at the state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State. Chase went 4-0, defeating Massillon Perry’s Tanner Lemon 9-4 in the championship match. Although neither of his older brothers won a state title, they had an influence on Chase getting one. “Being the youngest brother, they would beat up on me sometimes,” said Chase, who has been named captain of the ThisWeek Super 12 wrestling team. “I think that’s what helped me a lot. It made me mentally stronger. I could take a beating.” Spencer often came to the practice room this season to help train his younger brother. With Spencer having a nearly 50-pound weight advantage, Chase had a difficult time trying to control his brother. And for Chase, control was what it was all about. “He’s great at turning people over,” coach Dominic DiSabato said. “He’s a strong kid even though he may not look like it. He’s tough. He’s really physical and he has that football player mentality where he’s going to make you feel pain.” The only central Ohio wrestler to capture a state title this season, Chase Delande earned his 100th career victory in his match against Lemon. The junior finished the season 46-2. His only losses were to Mentor Lake Catholic’s Matt Fee at the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Holiday Tournament, which concluded Dec. 30. After that tournament, Delande was unbeatable. He swept through the OCC-Central Division dual matches, defeated Grove City’s Robert Coles 14-0 to win the Marysville sectional title Feb. 19 and defeated Olentangy Liberty’s Ethan Snyder 10-4 to win a district title Feb. 26. The state title gave Delande a state championship in two sports. He was a cornerback for the Davidson football team when it won the Division I state title in 2009. “In wrestling, it’s more of a thrill,” Delande said of winning a state championship. “In football, it’s a long game, two hours. In wrestling, it’s six minutes and all eyes are on you.”

If high school wrestling fans didn’t know who Pickett was before the Division I district tournament, they quickly found out after he demolished the competition on the way to a district title, winning each of his four matches by tech-fall, major decision or pin. He beat Olentangy Liberty’s Nick Kaczkowski 13-0 in the final. “I always say you have to be good on your feet. You have to be good in escape and you have to be able to hold someone down. Vince is good at all three of those,” coach Jamie Ramirez said. “That makes him difficult to wrestle. He’s tall and lanky. He’s hard to shoot on and he’s got a great shot himself. Plus, he has a bit of a mean bone.” Pickett, who finished the season 50-3, placed fourth at the state tournament.

Not often does a freshman make as much of an impact as Smith did this winter. He helped the Silver Knights win the CCL title and then followed with a Division III sectional title and a third-place finish at district. Smith went 3-2 at the state tournament. He won his first two matches before losing his next two. He bounced back to pin Marion Pleasant’s Zon Fields in 4 minutes, 40 seconds to finish fifth. Smith, who finished with a 43-4 record, had lost to Fields in a semifinal at the district tournament Feb. 26 at Coshocton. “He’s a very determined wrestler,” coach Chance Van Gundy said. “I’m just looking forward to the next three years. I’ve had several freshmen come in that were good, but I don’t think any has been as special as Bobby.”

Bess Reis (defender), Molly Schindler (midfielder) and Katie Tomaszewski (midfielder), sophomores Sarah Both (midfielder), Nicole Carothers (defender) and Amy Henry (defender) and freshmen Lauren Deverse (forward) and Allie Nini (forward).

Not only did Hutchins earn a 50-8 record but he did so in dominating fashion, pinning 41 opponents, which ranks him ninth on Ohio’s all-time season leader list. For his career, Hutchins compiled a 15648 record with 113 pins. His career pin total ranks 12th on Ohio’s all-time list and his win total was one shy of Seth Morton’s program record for career wins. “By earning six points with every pin, Brady has accounted for hundreds of team points for us,” coach Trent Brooks said. “Brady was an all-around dream to coach and he set the tempo for our team both on and off the mat.” Hutchins finished first in the Cambridge Invitational on Dec. 4, the Watkins Memorial Invitational on Feb. 5 and the Division II sectional Feb. 19 at Licking Heights. After placing second at district, he went 1-2 at state for a third consecutive season.

Murdock added to his résumé this season as both a Division I district and sectional champion. After finishing fifth at the state tournament at 103 as a sophomore, he placed sixth at 112 and finished this season with a 44-5 record. He entered state ranked second in Brian Brakeman’s High School Wrestling Forecast. “His goal was to win it this year, but it made it tough when he lost his first match (at state),” coach Bob Stoll said. “He’s got another year to try to do it. “He’s going to be a heck of a boost for our other guys next year as a leader.” Murdock, a three-time district qualifier, was first-team all-OCCCentral Division as the Shamrocks finished third (5-2) behind champion Hilliard Davidson (7-0).

Fiorucci added to his already impressive résumé this season, finishing with a 45-7 record and winning five tournaments. He won the Olentangy Invitational on Dec. 4, the North Canton Hoover Invitational on Dec. 17-18 and the James V. Horning Memorial on Jan. 22. He also successfully defended his titles at the Division II sectional and district tournaments. Having placed eighth at 103 at state in Division I as a freshman and second at 103 in Division II as a sophomore, Fiorucci went 3-2 and placed fifth at 119 at state this year. “Trevor was dominant all season, and his only losses were to studs in tough tournaments,” coach Matt Hammons said. “He’s a pinner. Whether he’s on top or bottom, there’s always a good chance that Trevor is going to put someone on their back and stick them.”

In Bradley’s first two seasons, Higgins became one of the wrestlers who would help lay a solid foundation for a successful program. He ended his prep career by becoming the program’s first state placer. Higgins placed third at the Division II state tournament, beating Medina Highland’s Tyler Bloniak 11-7 in the third-place match. Higgins had a 44-4 record this season using what coach John Riggs said was an unusual technique. “He has a very unique style where he uses a lot of scrambling,” Riggs said. “He’s great with his legs and with tilts. He’s able to put his opponents in situations that maybe they haven’t seen before.” Higgins won sectional and district championships en route to qualifying for state and was named the OCC-Capital Division Wrestler of the Year.

Though only a sophomore, Forrider is a two-time placer at the Division I state tournament. As a freshman, he finished eighth at 119. This season, he placed sixth at 130 and finished with a 41-10 record. For his career, he is 85-18. This season, Forrider won the title at the Marysville sectional before winning the district title. He entered the state tournament ranked eighth in his weight class in Brian Brakeman’s High School Wrestling Forecast. “Noah is a huge part of our program as a competitor and a leader,” coach Shawn Andrews said. “His experience at the state level as a two-time placer is a great example to the kids on our team as to what it takes to be successful.”

Elflein could be among the early favorites to win the Division I state heavyweight title next season following the graduation of Centerville’s Kyle Rose, who defeated him 7-5 in a district final en route to winning the state title this year. Elflein went 1-2 at state, but he was eliminated by a pair of eventual placers in matches decided by a combined three points. “That was Pat’s first time at state, so it was a good learning experience,” coach Brad Harris said. “Now he knows what he needs to do going forward,” Elflein, who packed on 40 pounds after his sophomore year, finished the season with a 35-9 record and set the single-season program record with 28 pins. He already has football scholarship offers from Indiana and Northwestern.

Drumm was the Bulldogs’ top finisher, placing fifth to finish the season with a 34-3 record. He had eight postseason pins and won a district title Feb. 25-26 at Coshocton, where his father, Robin, died of a heart attack following one of his matches three years ago. “Of our three (state qualifiers), Travis was the most focused,” coach Roger Morgan said. “If he didn’t think he had a legitimate shot at winning (state), he wouldn’t be here.” Drumm, a two-time state qualifier who was a state alternate as a sophomore, finished with 160 career victories. He has signed to play football at Tiffin University.

The son of the coach of one of the area’s premier wrestling programs, DiSabato beats opponents not only with skill, but with a deep knowledge of the sport. DiSabato capped a stellar season with a fifth-place finish at the Division I state tournament. He finished the season 50-5 and earned his second trip to the awards podium at state. He placed eighth at 103 as a sophomore. “One thing that he’s really benefited from is he’s a smart wrestler, and being around wrestling as long as he has, he understands situations,” said coach Dominic DiSabato, Angelo’s father. “There are not too many mistakes that he makes on the mat because he didn’t know the situation.” DiSabato was named the OCC-Central Division Wrestler of the Year in addition to winning sectional and district championships.

Club Hockey

Storm’s state title is GCHSCHL’s third in four years By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers It almost seems as if the state club tournament is becoming an extension of the Greater Columbus High School Club Hockey League’s Blue Jackets Cup. The league produced its third state champion in four years when Northeast defeated Newark 2-1 in the final of the seventh annual Buckeye Cup on March 13 in Canton. It also was the second time in three years that two GCHSCHL teams played for the title. “It was a really great weekend for our league,” Newark coach Don Jennings said. “If we were going to lose to anyone, I’m glad it was to Northeast. They’ve got a lot of good seniors on that team and they played very strong. It’s well deserved.”

The Storm captured its first state championship by winning all five games at the three-day event, which featured four teams apiece from the GCHSCHL, the Cleveland-based North Coast High School Hockey League and the Cincinnati High School Hockey League. The tournament used the five-point system for pool play, awarding one point for each period a team won and two more for a game victory. Teams split the point when a period ended in a tie. The Storm opened with a pair of one-goal victories in pool play before defeating Liberty Township Lakota East of the CHSHL 4-0 in its third game, totaling 12.5 out of a possible 15 points to earn the third seed in the semifinals behind Newark (13.5) and Jackson (13) of the NCHSHL. Northeast also posted a 3-2 victory

over Medina of the NCHSHL and a 43 win over Bellbrook of the CHSHL. The fourth semifinalist was Medina (10), which advanced by winning a tiebreaker over Hilliard. The Wildcats, who captured their first Blue Jackets Cup title last month, went 21 in pool play and also scored 10 points. A 4-3 loss to Jackson in their second game proved to be their undoing. Four of the top six teams in pool play were from the Columbus league. PRPC, which won the GCHSCHL’s regular-season title, went 2-1 and totaled 9.5 points to finish sixth. “We only got one point out of our second game and that really hurt us,” PRPC coach Joe Tonello said of a 3-2 loss to Mason of the CHSHL. “We had opportunities, putting 44 shots on their goaltender, but they just got one more goal than we did.

“At the end of the day, though, we’re glad to see two teams from our league playing for the state championship.” In the semifinals, Newark defeated Medina 4-3 when Clay Beckholt scored the lone goal in a shootout and Northeast eliminated Jackson 2-1. Tyler Wickiser, a senior forward from New Albany, scored in every game for the Storm. He redirected a shot from Colin Laviola to give the Storm a 1-0 lead in the final. The Generals countered with a goal from Matt Congos in the second period. Kohl Fixari, whose father, Mark, is coach of the Storm, scored the decisive goal in the third period. Wickiser’s younger brother, Ryan, was the starting goaltender in all five games and had little margin for error as the Storm won four of its five games by one goal. The four GCHSCHL participants combined for a 10-2 record in pool

Commentary

City League coaches will be missed It will feel a bit odd once the district basketball tournament rolls around next year. For much of the past three decades during February and March, one thing you knew you’d see was the intensity displayed by the Brookhaven High School girls team and its passionate coach, Reggie Lee. On a similar scale during recent years, the Northland boys team brought one of the best assemblies of talent in central Ohio history to the floor every night under largerthan-life coach Satch Sullinger. With both men having announced that they won’t be back next year as coaches, things won’t be the same in either sport. After Lee took over the Bearcats’ program in 1981, he did more than just win seven district titles, the 1996 Division I state championship and 515 games. With a style centered on showing tough love to his players during practices and timeouts, Lee helped to pioneer that females were capable of memorable exploits on the court when girls basketball still was in its infancy at the state level. “When I first started coaching, I coached boys, and I wouldn’t have coached girls if not for what (Pickerington North coach) Dave (Butcher) and Reggie did,” Gahanna girls coach Rick Hauser said. “What would Reggie have been able to do if he’d had a feeder program?”

Sullinger first coached at the high school level with the Columbus East boys team from 1983-85 and helped rebuild the Beechcroft boys team into a City League-North Division power in the early 1990s. He took over JARROD a Beechcroft team that ULREY had gone 2-19 in 199091 and had the Cougars in the City title game in 1994. Sullinger then spent three seasons at Reynoldsburg and three at his college alma mater, Oberlin, before taking over Northland’s program in 2000-01. While it took time to transform the Vikings into a winner, Northland’s run through the City — and central Ohio — has been memorable. With Division I college talent such as Devon Moore, J.D. Weatherspoon and Jared Sullinger, the Vikings won district titles in 2007 and last year and were state champions in 2009. They’ve also won 74 consecutive City games. What the two men provided off the court has been even more important. During his first season at Beechcroft, Satch Sullinger told The Columbus Dispatch that “I think my niche is here, where I can influence lives. I want to be an impact play-

er.” With constant preaching about accountability and being a good citizen off the court, he did what he could to live up to that mantra. For Lee, helping his athletes and students pursue college educations has brought him as much satisfaction as the numerous victories he has earned on the court. Particularly in the City, the influences of Lee and Sullinger over the years can’t be underscored. There are some veteran boys coaches in the City who will remain, and there are some fine young coaches such as brothers Jason Bates of Walnut Ridge and Michael Bates of Africentric. One of the most respected girls coaches in the City will remain in Will McKinney, who often has called Lee one of his mentors. But in multiple aspects, the departures of Lee and Sullinger will create an unquestionable void. For the sake of central Ohio basketball — and for the development of young people who walk the halls at Brookhaven and Northland — let’s hope someone can come close to filling the shoes of Lee and Sullinger over the coming years. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

play and their point total was 45.5 compared with the NCHSHL’s 34.5 and the CHSHL’s 10. During the GCHSCHL’s regular season, the Storm finished third and Newark was fourth. The Generals won the state title in 2009 by defeating PRPC in the championship game. Athens won the GCHSCHL’s first state championship in 2008. “It was an incredible game,” Jennings said of this year’s final. “It was just what you’d expect from two Columbus teams. We were clearly the superior league, and I don’t really see that changing in the near future.” Earlier this week, the Storm still was deciding whether it would participate in the national club tournament that begins Tuesday, March 22, in Chicago. kadams@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Stephenson defends BYU’s strict student honor code Like many, Maggie Stephenson is curious to see how far the Brigham Young University men’s basketball team can advance in the NCAA tournament. The 2006 Pickerington High School Central and 2010 BYU graduate wonders how much of a run the Cougars can make without sophomore Brandon Davies, who has been suspended for the rest of the season. Davies, a 6-foot-9 center, was kicked off the team March 1 for violating BYU’s honor code by having premarital sex with his girlfriend. The university, located in Provo, Utah, is affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “When I first read about it, I felt bad for him,” said Stephenson, who had

classes with Davies and was a student teacher at his former high school in Provo. “I can’t imagine how he feels. “But when I heard all the negative things being said PAUL about BYU, it made BATTERSON me mad. I’ve heard people say, ‘Why would anyone want to play at BYU?’ I can tell you firsthand that playing for BYU was one of the best experiences of my life.” Stephenson was a catcher and utility infielder for the Cougars softball team the past two years. Although she

is not Mormon, she passionately defends her alma mater. And part of the reason why Stephenson, who is Catholic, said she enjoyed her time in Provo was because of BYU’s stringent honor code. Each BYU student — not just athletes — is asked to commit to nine principles. Among them: abstaining from tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, tobacco and substance abuse, observing a dress code (no shorts above the knees and no midriff-revealing shirts) and grooming standards (no beards or mustaches), participating regularly in church services and living a chaste and virtuous life. Students also have to receive an “Ecclesiastical endorsement” from their

BOYS Jelen said thoughts of competing at state will motivate him to work hard in the offseason. “The state meet was amazing,” he said. “There’s nothing like it. Your heart’s pounding and boosted full of testosterone and adrenaline. I remember just standing behind the blocks and looking out our cheering section. It was pretty awe-inspiring.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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

freshman Elizabeth Weldon in the 500 free (12th, 5:07.14). Also competing at state were Weldon in the 200 free (19th, 1:56.46), Miller in the 500 free (21st, 5:10.96), senior Amy Trace in the 200 free (20th, 1:56.84) and sophomore Sarah Mamo in the 100 breaststroke (24th, 1:10.16). The Bears lose five seniors in Chin, Hammerberg, Russell,Amy Trace and Hannah Mascari. “Obviously, they meant a lot of points to us,” Peterkoski said. “But more than that, they did a great job of setting the tone. They’ve been through the process before and demonstrated great

leadership to the underclassmen.” As much experience as the seniors had, the Bears had to depend on a large group of freshmen and other swimmers who had not competed at state. “This is the first year in a while that we’ve been very dependent on our inexperienced swimmers,” Peterkoski said. “In the past, we always had a rough idea about what our lineup was going to be. This year we had no idea. “That was a little scary at the beginning of the season, but at the same, it made it a lot of fun.”

with 414 points, finishing well ahead of runner-up St. Charles (280). UA loses four seniors in Alex Chin, Michael Huntley, Adam Rabe and Will Smith. At state, Chin finished 15th in the 100yard backstroke (53.45 seconds) and Rabe finished 10th in the 200 individual medley (1:56.3) and 13th in the 100 breaststroke (59.18). “Those seniors were the backbone of the team,” first-year coach Mike de Bear said. “UA has had three coaches in the last four years. Those guys have been the one stabilizing force.” But de Bear should have plenty of swimmers with state experience next season as Jelen, juniors Ryan Cutler, Adam Dodson, Sean Neri and Andrew Rabe, sophomores Joey Long and Ian Reardon and freshman Thomas Trace are among the expected returnees. Andrew Rabe, Long, Dodson and Adam Rabe had the team’s highest finish at state, placing second in the 200 freestyle relay (1:25.28). “That’s the one swim that really stands out,” de Bear said. “Going into the year, we considered that event one of our weakest links, but they went from being seeded ninth (after district) to fourth (after the state preliminaries) to second. It’s kind of a microcosm of our year.” Also competing in the championship finals at state were Long in the 200 free (third, 1:40.61) and 500 free (third, 4:34.44), the 400 free relay of Long, Adam Rabe, Neri and Cutler (third, 3:07.95) and the 200 medley relay of Neri, Adam Rabe, Jelen and Andrew Rabe (sixth, 1:35.61). Also competing at state were

Neri in the 100 back (11th, 53.04) and 200 free (20th, 1:44.93), Jelen in the 100 butterfly (14th, 52.71) and 100 back (20th, 54.66), Cutler in the 500 free (15th, 4:44.7) and 200 free (21st, 1:45.25), Reardon in the 200 IM (15th, 1:58.96) and Trace in the 100 back (17th, 53.66). “We’re hoping to bring back that experience those eight guys picked up in Canton and continue to build on that toward next February,” de Bear said.

After graduating with the class of 2012, he plans to go to college. Foster is an active member of the junior class, participating in class trips and playing soccer and dodge ball.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen CATCHY WORDS You may already know that numerous studies show that eating fish regularly helps improve cardiovascular health. If so, you shouldn’t be surprised that a new study shows that consuming omega-3 fatty acids and fish is associated with a reduced risk of age-related hearing loss. Study participants who consumed the most total omega-3s and the highest intake of the complex omega-3s found in fish were at lower risk of hearing loss. People who ate fish at least twice a week were 42% less likely to suffer hearing loss over five years than those eating fish less than once a week. Non-fish sources are available for those not partial to eating fish but desirous of consuming omega-3 fatty acids to preserve hearing. Whether by consuming foods high in omega-3 fatty acids or wearing ear plugs in noisy environments, all of us should strive to protect our hearing throughout our lives. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our trained professionals will take the time to listen to you, learn about your specific needs, and select the right hearing instrument for you. We offer a wide range of hearing devices to meet all budgets and pride ourselves on the exceptional follow-up care we provide to all our patients. We invite you to call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a hearing evaluation. We are located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

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

March 17, 2011

Community news UAFD, EPA clean up leak on Henderson Upper Arlington firefighters were called to the Kroger at 1955 Henderson Road the morning of March 14 to contain a hazardous materials spill from a leaking diesel fuel tank. According to information from the UA Division of Fire, a Kroger employee called 9-1-1 at about 9 a.m. to report that a semi tractor trailer parked at the loading dock was losing fuel from a punctured tank. Arriving fire crews found the vehicle, from Splash Transport, Inc., in the dock area with diesel fuel spilled onto the pavement and running into a storm drain, the news release said. Firefighters used absorbent litter from their fire truck’s supply cache and from the store’s inventory to contain the material on the ground, and fashioned a dike to prevent any more from entering the drain. They then used a hazardous materials plugging material to seal off the leaking tank. The EPA’s hazardous materials emergency response unit responded to the scene and worked with firefighters to deploy absorbent booms and pads at six locations in Turkey Run, the waterway that the storm drain flows into. These efforts resulted in the majority of the fuel being stopped at the MacKenzie Road intersection. The EPA estimated that 25 gallons was lost on the ground and 25 gallons flowed into the creek, according to the news release. Kroger and the trucking company hired a hazardous waste contractor to skim the fuel from the waterway and to power-wash and remove the fuel from the pavement. Maintenance crews pumped the residual fuel from the truck’s tanks and towed the truck from the scene. The fuel capacity of the semi is approximately 100 gallons.

Scam artists target UA neighborhoods The Upper Arlington Police Division is currently investigating several reports of residents being targeted by individuals

claiming to be tree crews or arborists. According to a news release from the city, crews operating in all areas of the community are soliciting door to door, also claiming to do extermination work, roof repairs and minor home improvements. They have reportedly defrauded local victims of several thousand dollars for work that was incomplete, unnecessary, or poorly completed. Older residents, and particularly women who live alone, are most often targeted in these instances, but homeowners of all ages have been affected. Many victims have reported aggressive sales tactics, including pressuring a resident to pay for work prior to completion, failure to provide proper solicitation permits, and repeated unsolicited calls for service. The Upper Arlington Police Division recommends the following steps to verify the legitimacy of any individual or company: • Ask to see a permit allowing door-to-door solicitation. If they have none, call the Police Division. Local ordinances require such a permit. • Look for vehicles that appear to be well maintained and marked with the business name. • Look for contracts or paperwork that provides a detailed description of the work to be done. Also, verify that the name on the paperwork matches the business name and is signed by the person offering to do the work. • Never pay before the work is completed to your satisfaction. Tree services, especially, do not need money to buy materials or gas before they start the work. • Do not pay with a check made out to an individual person. Scammers like to have checks made out to their own names because their “business name” isn’t registered and they are not paying taxes on their income. They also change business names frequently to stay one step ahead of law enforcement. • If you are pressured in any way, tell the individual to leave, shut the door, and lock it. Call the police immediately for assistance at 459-2800. If you feel physically threatened, call 911.

• If you are concerned that there may be a legitimate need for work to be completed, contact a tree service or contractor of your choosing from the yellow pages. Most reputable organizations will provide you with a legitimate and free estimate upon request. Anyone with questions or concerns should call Jason Messer, the police division’s financial crimes detective, 614-583-5154.

Leadership UA to host seminar on service On Thursday, April 7, Leadership UA will host a community service event, “A Call to Public Service: Everything You Wanted To Know about Serving Upper Arlington.” It will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Upper Arlington Municipal Services Center, 3600 Tremont Road, in the lower-level conference room. The event will include a roundtable conversation hosted by assistant city manager Joe Valentino, featuring city leaders: current council and former school board members, Ed Seidel and Mary Anne Krauss; current council member Debbie Johnson; former council member Linda Mauger; Board of Zoning and Planning chairman T.J. Riley; and current school board member Gloria Heydlauff. The conversation will focus on how to apply to city boards and commissions or how to run for office and discuss what makes for a successful term as a public official. “Leadership UA believes that the residents are our community’s greatest asset and we want to make sure that they have the resources available to them to use their knowledge, skills and energy to contribute to the continued improvement of our city,” said Andrew Miller, Leadership UA president. City manager Virginia Barney, agrees. “Upper Arlington’s greatest strength is the talents that our residents bring to the table,” she said. “It is a great privilege to serve your neighbors and can be very satisfying.” The event is free and open to the public.
