Grandview Heights High School

Principal steps down without notice By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Grandview Heights High School kicked off spring break with a surprise March 18 when the principal stepped down, citing personal and family reasons. “Jesse Truett gave the superintendent a letter of resignation on Friday,” board president Kathy Lithgow told ThisWeek March 21. “The reason he stated in the letter was family and health reasons, but he did not elaborate any

more than that. We were not aware anything was going on, so it was a surprise.” SuperintenJesse dent Ed Truett O’Reilly spent the day Friday making inquiries about an interim principal, Lithgow said. “When I last talked to our superintendent on Friday afternoon,

he had been networking to see what the possibilities were for an interim principal,” she said. “He indicated to me he thought he had somebody who could step in and be the interim, at least for a while. That was pretty encouraging. “He was feeling some pressure to try to get something at least started before he went away for spring break,” Lithgow said. She said that because the district is small, with only three buildings and three principals, it is not possible to immediately name

someone within the district to the position. Curriculum director Katie Maxfield, a former principal, will be carrying some of the administrative load in the meantime. “She is well versed,” Lithgow said. “If there is anything that needs to be done she can handle it. Ed O’Reilly himself was a principal; he came up through the ranks. It’s not like the high school will be set adrift.” The most recent principal to be hired was Truett, in 2008. The

district is high performing, small and stable and attracts many candidates for open jobs, Lithgow noted. “In the past, and it seemed to work well, what we have done is advertise the position through professional journals,” Lithgow said. “The word tends to spread quickly. We are very lucky that Grandview has a wonderful reputation in the education world, so we tend to have a lot of applicants for all jobs.” Candidates would likely be pre-

screened and narrowed down to a final pool of applicants who would be interviewed by a committee made up of teachers, parents and administrators, Lithgow said. Truett worked for five years as a math instructor at Westerville North High School before becoming an assistant principal for three years and then three years as principal at Newark High School before joining Grandview Heights. Truett could not be reached for comment by press time.

Stevenson Elementary third-grader Anna Holliday, portraying Clara Barton, goes over her report before visitors arrive at the school on March 16. Each third-grader picked a famous person to research and dressed as that person for a “wax museum.” Every student had a button visitors could push that made them come to life and share their story.

Students turn Stevenson into wax museum By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The halls, media center and third-grade classrooms at Stevenson Elementary were turned into a wax museum on March 16, when the third grade held its annual Wax Museum project. Each student selected a famous person and researched and wrote a report on that person’s life story. They dressed up as their subject and students from other classes and parents toured the “wax museum.” When a visitor pressed a student’s “button” they came alive and recited their report. “This project is a highlight of third grade,” said third-grade teacher Susan Falk. “The students visit the wax museum starting in kindergarten and they really look forward to doing it themselves.” Although the students can pick their own See WAX, page A2

Haupt says she chose to portray Lincoln because she feels it is important for people to have equal rights. Each third-grader picked a famous person to research and dressed as that person for the annual “wax museum.”

Grandview Heights Planning Commission March 16 approved a major site plan of the building and site at 1050 W. Goodale Blvd. The approval of the site plan will allow Open Door Art Studio to proceed with its plan to move its operations to the Goodale site. Open Door is an adult day rehabilitation center that operates as an art studio for adults with developmental disabilities. The studio is now located at 1365 W. First Ave. Open Door is a program of Columbus Center for Human Services, Inc., which was the applicant requesting the approval of the major site plan. The center is purchasing the building on Goodale. In November, the planning commission approved a conditional use and parking variance for the site. The commission was presented the major site plan application at its February meeting, but tabled the measure because of concerns about the art studio’s plans for the building’s exterior. Those concerns included the studio doing more to make its operations more noticeable to those traveling along Goodale. On Feb. 24, three planning commission members and representatives of the applicant held a workshop meeting to discuss the case. The applicant brought revised plans for the exterior of the building to the commission’s March 16 meeting. In response to suggestions commission members made last month, the exterior design now includes larger windows and places the front entry door more to the center of

the building, said Shawn McAllister, an architect working with the applicant. Open Door art director Courtney Yoakum presented more information about a mural that will be painted on a portion of the front of the building. The mural will be painted on individual panels, with the panels being in the shape of the object they are depicting and attached to the building, she said. The mural design is “a collaborative effort” featuring the input of about 30 of the 52 people who participate in Open Door’s programs, Yoakum said. “We’re absolutely thrilled” with the mural design, she said. “We had a great time going through hundreds and hundreds of (drawings) and doodles. “We feel this is much stronger than what we have (now),” Yoakum said. “(It) will add to the interest and aesthetic” of the building. “I appreciate your moving the door to where you did,” planning commission member Robert Wandel said. “I think it’s a better signal to people coming by as to how to get into the building.” “I’m pleased that you are pleased,” Yoakum said. afroman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

In other business, council took up the first reading of an ordinance that would bring the city’s ballot deadlines into compliance with state and federal

laws. The ordinance will require all candidates seeking election in Grandview Heights to submit their ballot petitions 90 days prior to an election, an increase from the current 75-day requirement. During a Planning and Administration Committee meeting before the council meeting, council member Steve Gladman explained that the city’s charter outlines deadlines for the filing of ballot petitions. Once council approves the new ordinance, the legislation will be referred to the city’s Charter Review

DIRECTORY

Commission. “The ordinance will change the charter for this year to be in compliance with the federal law,” Gladman said, “and the Charter Review Commission would make a recommendation back to council and we would certify that for the ballot.” Proposals for any changes to the city charter must be placed on the ballot by city council and voted on by the local electorate. Council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for April 4 at 7 p.m.

62nd annual Cake Walk set for April 1 in GHHS gym

Far out gala features theme from the ’60s By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers Break out the paisley and happy-face buttons: The Ohio Craft Museum is taking people on a hip trip back to the 1960s. The “Psychedelic ’60s” is the theme of this year’s gala fundraiser, to be held from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. April 9 at the museum, 1665 W. Fifth Ave. in the Grandview Heights area. “People are encouraged to get in the spirit of the theme,” said Betty Talbott, museum director. Admission is $35. People can purchase tickets in advance by calling the museum, 614-4864402, or buy them at the door. The museum has created “Alice’s Restaurant” and the “Happy Hippie Bar,” where people can enjoy food and beverages supplied by such local restaurants as Café del Mondo, Barley’s Smokehouse and Stan Evans Bakery. The “Outta Sight” silent auction will feature gifts donated by several local merchants, including Reed Arts, Sax Car Wash and Northstar Café. Raffle tickets are two for $5 or five for $10.

“Our donors each year have been really kind to us and made the gala a success,” Talbott said. Proceeds of the event go toward programming, workshops and exhibitions at the museum, she said. It is the 18th annual gala at the museum, which is owned and operated by the Ohio Designer Craftsmen. It receives ongoing funding from the Ohio Arts Council, the Greater Columbus Arts Council and the Columbus Foundation. Talbott said the museum always has a theme, and has touched on the 1950s, the disco era and the Wild West. Celebrating the ’60s seemed like a good idea, she said. “I thought, you know it’s about time to revisit that,” he said. “Those were my college days.” The Ohio Craft Museum is known for its exhibitions of fine crafts — ceramics, fiber, glass, metal, wood, and other media. The museum is gearing up for its annual member show, to be held May 1 to June 19. The display will then move on to other locations. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The 62nd annual Cake Walk will be held Friday, April 1, in the Grandview Heights High School gym. The event, sponsored by the Grandview Band Parents Association, will get under way at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. The event is one of the main fundraisers for the Band Parents Association, Cake Walk chairperson Angela Jackson said. “Sixty-two years ago, this type of event was not uncommon,” Jackson said. “It’s an old-fashioned, easy way to raise money. “When the Cake Walk rolls around, you know spring is here,” she added. Last year’s Cake Walk raised about $4,000, Jackson said. The Band Parents Association supports the middle school and

high school bands, she said. “The money we raise from the Cake Walk goes to things like purchasing sheet music, instrument repairs and offsetting the cost of band camp,” Jackson said. “We’re hoping to raise enough money to upgrade our uniforms next year.” The Cake Walk is similar to a game of musical chairs, although in this case, everyone gets a chair to sit in. Chair rings operate while the high school and middle school bands play songs. When the music stops, everyone in the ring finds a chair to sit in. A chair number is drawn and the person sitting in that chair wins a cake or pie. Every band parent is asked to supply one cake or pie for each child of theirs who participates in a school band, Jackson said. Admission to the Cake Walk

is 50 cents and game tickets are 25 cents each or five for one dollar. In addition to the Cake Walk, the evening will include games of chance, concessions and a 5050 raffle. “Probably our most popular concession item is a cupcake-and milk-special,” Jackson said. “Last year, people really bought a lot of those. It’s a nice, wholesome snack.” Volunteers are still needed to help run the Cake Walk, she said. Anyone interested in volunteering may call Jackson at 488-6208. Those who are unable to attend the Cake Walk can help out by donating gift cards to serve as prizes in the cake decorating contest that will be held, Jackson said. The contest features two divisions, adults age 19 and over and youth age 18 and under, she said.

a machine that makes paper bags. “I was going to try to do an artist at first, but I couldn’t find many women artists,” Kukura said. “My middle name is Margaret, so I decided to pick Margaret Knight.” Perhaps the most interesting thing about Knight is that she started to invent things at a young age, she said. “She fixed a weaving loom when she was really young,” Kukura said. Lance Trares selected perhaps the most famous inventor of them all — Thomas Alva Edison. “I thought he would be interesting because he invented so many things,” Trares said. Edison didn’t start school until he was 7-years-old, and ended up dropping out because “the teachers couldn’t handle such a curious student,” he said.

“Later on, when he was an old man, he said, ‘I am long on ideas and short on time,’” Trares said. “I think Edison was pretty cool.” Trares based his Edison costume, which included a dark suit coat and bow tie, on pictures of the inventor he found in his research. “I was going to dye my hair silver, but that didn’t work out,” the blonde-haired Trares said. Izzy Sharp chose the heroic Harriet Tubman as her subject. “I think she was really cool because she saved over 300 slaves,” Sharp said. “There was a $40,000 reward for her capture, but she was never caught and she kept helping free slaves.” Even when she suffered sleeping problems and head trauma after being beaten, “she just kept on going. She was so brave,” Sharp said.

Shock: Brutally cold winter spikes outrageously high utility bill Another winter is coming to the end and once again we finish with outrageous bills that I defer through the summer because we couldn’t afford it.What can we do? - Desperate homeowner As utility costs continue to rise, the more sense it makes to have your home insulated. USA insulation can help by properly insulating your home and reducing bills substantially. “Your furnace and air conditioner will run a lot less when you have your home insulated,” said Steve Cikach of USA insulation.“In addition to saving energy and helping the environment, you will also lower your utility bills by up to 50 percent.” USA Insulation’s patented foam insulation is injected through small holes in the walls. It goes in

as foam and dries hard, creating a 4-inch shell of insulation around your home. Insulation experts say if your home was built before 1980, you may have very little, if any, insulation in your walls. If you’re weighing the options of various insulation materials, keep in mind the following facts: • USA Premium Foam insulation will not absorb moisture or settle in a wall cavity like cellulose or fiberglass. Because it will not absorb moisture, mold cannot grow on it. • It cannot burn in a fire. In fact, 4 inches of the foam insulation is rated as a two-hour fire wall • USA features a premium foam that boasts the highest R-value for sidewalls up to 5.4 per inch, which is about R-19 in wall cavity. • It is clean, dust-free and non-toxic, therefore it is safe for families and pets. • Outside noises are reduced by 50 decibels, which is important if your home is located in a high-traffic area. USA can insulate most homes in one day and do the work on the exterior whether brick, stucco,

shingles or siding.They can do this without you ever knowing they were there. The company also provides financing options to meet all budgets. The company and the product manufacturer have been around for nearly 30 years and have more than 10,000 insulation jobs to their credit. Take advantage of the new federal energy of cost up to $500.

Call USA Insulation at (614) 529-2440 or 1-888-894-1024 for a free evalution and to find out how you can save on your utility bills this winter. Visit www.usainsulation.net.

NOW OPEN MASSAGE ENVY SPA IN THE GRANDVIEW YARD Photo and information provided by the Grandview Heights/Marble Cliff Historical Society

The Village Little Theatre was formed in the Tri-Village area in 1937 and was open to anyone interested in producing or acting in amateur shows. This sketch of the cast and technicians was published as a promotion for the 1939 productions of “The Flattering Word” and “Monkey Paw.” Mary Hindman, a member of the company’s art staff, drew it, and the sketch includes more than 45 individuals associated with the theatre. Resident John Boardman, on the top left, was president of the organization. Typically two productions were staged semi-annually, a week apart, presumably to afford an opportunity to showcase more local talent. The Village Little Theatre is known to have celebrated its 20th season in 1957. The date that it disbanded is not known to the historical society trustees.

Letter

As long as we’re making cuts, why not cut defense? To the editor: I’m responding to Steve Stivers’ guest column (March 17, 2011). In this article he talks about making cuts. I’m not that sure he is serious about making significant cuts in the budget. Cutting his own salary and saving office expenses really is just symbolic, and doesn’t contribute to the debate. If he is serious, why not take the entire $100-billion out of the defense budget? The defense budget is roughly $848-billion, and certainly the defense folks could do with less spending more than anyone else. Our enemy at the moment are about 100 Al-Qaeda volunteers in Afghanistan, but we have troops in Germany, Bahrain, Iraq and elsewhere, not having anything to do with the threat.

economic, not military. On the military side, we are doing wonders with drones and small forces, none of which are that expensive. The defense establishment can certainly do its job with $748billion. This way Mr. Stivers’ vision will more than come true: his daughter will not be saddled with a huge national debt, and perhaps even benefit from a better funded health and educational system than we have at the moment.

AS IT WERE Even this expectation was put aside after World War II. The 16-million men who came home after the war were looking for cars, wives and a place to live — usually in that order. The GI Bill of Rights helped them importantly in the latter by providing inexpensive home loans. The new subdivisions built after the war were significantly different than the neighborhoods built in the 1920s and 1930s. The houses were very much like one another and featured prominent garages facing the street. And most of these new developments had no sidewalks. If one was going to walk, one went someplace else to do it. In less than two generations, we had changed from a people who walked everywhere to a people who hardly walked anywhere. By the 1990s, it was becoming apparent that we had become a nation of people who needed a bit more exercise. Fortunately for us, the people who manage our parks, both locally and regionally, have anticipated this need and provided us with a wonderful set of places to walk, run and even ride our bikes. All we have to do now is learn to use them. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Avenue just north of Goodale. This is a classic streetcar suburb. The large houses of elaborate design and décor are spaced quite close to one another along the broad and spacious avenue. This was a street that once carried not just one but two streetcar tracks in its center. In its heyday, the fashionable middle class who lived in these houses left their nice homes in the morning and boarded a nearby streetcar to travel to work or play in the central city. By the 1920s, thanks to Henry Ford, the automobile, once a toy of the rich, had become the belonging of much of the rest of America. A whole new class of automobile suburbs was built four, five and six miles from the downtown. We can find them easily today in Clintonville, on the Hilltop and on the East and South sides of the city. The houses are still quite close together. But now one can find driveways as well, leading to small garages behind the houses. It is almost as if people felt the obligation to hide the cars that had brought them to suburban enjoyment. But these new 1920s suburbs did have one important amenity: sidewalks. Even if a person were forced to use a car to get to suburbia, it was expected that one would walk after arriving there.

BRANDON RD.

It is interesting to note that until well after the Civil War, no one really talked about a downtown Columbus. The place was such a small town that no one part of it was more central than another. The streetcars changed all that. They permitted people to live one, two and even three miles from the center of the city in new, mostly residential “streetcar suburbs.” These suburbs were few in number at first because riding on a slow-moving streetcar that was hot in the summer and cold in the winter was not all that pleasant. But all of that changed in the early 1890s when the streetcars became electrified. Now the big new streetcars — heated in the winter and moving fast enough to be cool in the summer — took the new middle class of Columbus to new homes in new neighborhoods several miles from the center of the city. All the streetcar suburbs were soon superseded by whole new groups of suburban communities based around the automobile. To this day, it is not all that hard to see the difference between the streetcar suburbs and the automobile suburbs that followed them. Look at the houses along Neil

Commentary

Memories abound from state tourney When the final seconds tick off the clock on Saturday, March 26, at the Division I state boys basketball tournament at Ohio State, it will complete 60 years for me of watching tournament basketball in Ohio. My dad took me to see Columbus Aquinas play in a quarterfinal of the LARRY 1952 tournament in the LARSON Fairgrounds Coliseum, and it has been a sixdecade joyride since. But with my move to California this summer, this could be my last final four for a while. So here is my chance to share some of my greatest memories along with my list of the five greatest tournament games I’ve witnessed. Before we hit the top-five list, let’s just say that mine has been a lifetime of thrills in the venues of high school basketball. I have been privileged to witness some of the greatest individuals who played the sport, like Jerry Lucas, Clark Kellogg and LeBron James. I had the chance to see great central Ohio players beginning with Columbus South’s Frank Howard and Marion-Franklin’s Herb Williams. I saw the electric Todd Penn of Linden-McKinley, Jerry Francis Sr., who played for Columbus West, and Jerry Francis Jr., who played for Columbus Wehrle. I watched the wonderful Eddie Ratliff and his teammates lead Columbus East to consecutive state titles in 1968 and 1969. I saw girls basketball begin and develop and, along the way, got to see Logan’s Katie Smith and Pickerington coach Dave Butcher forever eliminate any doubt about how good girls can play this sport. I got to see a flouncy haired Dale Lambert light up the Fairgrounds with his shooting in the ’60s and Mount Vernon’s Scott Dapprich light up the Fairgrounds in the ’90s. I saw great teams and unheralded teams win state championships, but the common thread through 60 years has been the incredible efforts put forth by these young people. Here is a list of my five favorite games that I was lucky enough to see. As usual, I rank them in reverse order, No. 5 through No. 1. 5 — East vs. Cleveland St. Joseph, 1979 Class AAA boys state final: St. Joseph was the favorite to win the title and after East won its semifinal over Akron Central-Hower, it lost a starter to an injury. But on state championship Saturday, East was more than brilliant. East took a 26-13 lead after the first quarter and expanded it to 54-26 at halftime. Kellogg tried to rally St. Joe’s with a 51-point performance, but the day belonged to East in one of the best team performances the state has seen. 4 — Pickerington vs. Logan, 1992 Division I girls state final: Girls basketball in Ohio arrived at the top of the mountain when these two powers met before a sold out St. John Arena. Pickerington won 53-46 in a game in which Smith and Butcher would

Grandview Heights Roundup

Depth could key baseball team By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Depth might be a key ingredient to success for the Grandview Heights High School baseball team. The Bobcats are looking to improve on last season, when they finished 9-15 overall and lost to Berne Union 3-0 in the opening round of the Division III district tournament. “Last year, we were only one deep at just about every position and now we are two and three deep, which is a big help,” second-year coach Brian Thomas said. “Plus, the kids are flying around and playing with a lot of energy, which is something we teach.” The Bobcats have nine seniors, including A.J. Findlay (C/P) and Alex Jones (P/2B). Findlay batted .328 with 10 RBI and was 4-3 with a 3.21 ERA in 39 2/3 innings. Jones hit .385 with a team-high 17 RBI. The other returning senior starters are Greg Damschroder (3B), Cameron McLain (OF), Colin Ridgeway (OF/P), Eric Van Deusen (3B), Kyle Wandel (1B) and Nate Webb (1B/OF).

By Mike Munden/ThisWeek

Bobcats senior outfielder Cameron McLain tries to make a diving catch during a game last season.

Noah McKnight (OF/P) rounds out the class. “We stress competition, whether it’s in practice or in the weight room in the offseason or when we are running sprints,” Thomas said. “We want to make sure we compete at everything every day and you can’t play this game without competing.” Grandview has no left-handed pitchers in the program and no juniors on varsity, but ex-

pects sophomores Nick Peck (1B/P) and Nick Perez (SS) and freshmen Josh Keller (C) and Nick Schopis (OF) to make contributions. “Any time you have four underclassmen playing big roles for a team, you’re not sure what to expect day in and day out,” Thomas said. “But they will get better the more they play.” The Bobcats tied Berne Union for fourth in the MSL-Cardinal

Division at 8-6, behind Fisher Catholic (13-1), Liberty Union (11-3) and Licking Heights (113), and ahead of West Jefferson (3-11), Harvest Prep (2-12) and Millersport (0-14). “We have a tough schedule and play in a pretty good division of the MSL,” said Thomas, whose team opens Monday, March 28, at home against Bexley. “We play (Huber Heights) Wayne, Worthington Christian, Bexley and

Ready. We have a competitive schedule and that competition will make us better.” •The softball team also hopes to improve on last season, when it finished 6-16 overall and lost to 11th-seeded London 9-3 in the first round of the Division III district tournament. The Bobcats return their leading hitter from a year ago in Jordan Abbruzzese, who batted .472. The senior will rotate between second base and shortstop with junior Kyleah Burton-Smiles, who hit .360 last season. “This group of girls stays loose and works with each other well,” said third-year coach Jim Amato, whose team opens Tuesday, March 29, at home against Ready. “They are all pretty close and have good chemistry. They are enjoying themselves and I’m having fun with them. They are really working hard.” Senior Abby Cameron and junior Claire Artrip return as pitchers. Freshmen Morgan Ramey and Natalie Webb also are expected to see time in the circle. Behind the plate will be See BOBCATS, page B2

Ready Roundup

Softball coach expecting stronger offense By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

One of the phrases Ready High School softball coach Nick Joseph uses at his team’s annual postseason banquet to help his players prepare for the offseason is in regards to getting “bigger, stronger and faster.” The athleticism he’s seen from his team during the preseason is enough to make Joseph believe his players have See LARSON, page B2 taken the talk to heart.

, Don t let your kid go to IOU.

“I can tell in the practices already that it’ll be a lot better than last year,” said Joseph, whose team opens Tuesday, March 29, at Grandview. “With the extra (speed) we have, I expect us not to go four games looking for a run like we did last year. We’ve already been hitting better inside than we did last year.” A more experienced lineup than a year ago, when the Silver Knights had a string of consecutive appearances in a Division III district final snapped at nine, also should help.

Ready had three players sign last November to play with college programs, and that trio should lead the way. Senior Katie Ardrey signed with Division II Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Mich., after going 14-10 with a 1.51 ERA and 203 strikeouts in 172 innings. She is back as the No. 1 pitcher and also hit .413 with three home runs, 20 RBI and seven stolen bases last year. Senior Dani Pugh has signed with Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne and is back at shortstop after hitting .387 with two home

runs and 20 RBI. Senior Haley Widner signed with James Madison and again should bat leadoff and play center field after posting team-bests in runs (21) and batting average (.419). Sophomore Alexis Mayle led Ready in home runs (5) and RBI (22) and is expected to start at third base. Senior Lindsey Kusan returns at first base.

Continued from page B1 senior Olivia Hickman. “We have to make sure that our pitching is stronger than it was (last season),” Amato said. “And Olivia Hickman adds good leadership behind the plate, which is a plus.” Grandview went 2-12 in the MSL-Cardinal last season to place seventh, behind Liberty Union (14-0), Berne Union (122), Millersport (8-6), West Jefferson (8-6), Fisher Catholic (77) and Licking Heights (4-10) and ahead of Harvest Prep (014). Cameron will play first base when not pitching and Webb will see time at third base. Expected to start in the outfield are juniors Kelly Berlin and Kelsey Senter and sophomore Mia Bell. Other players pushing for playing time include senior Chelsea Jones (OF), juniors Brenna McLaughlin (IF/OF)

LARSON Continued from page B1 establish their legacies. 3 — Linden vs. Barberton, 1977 Class AAA boys state final: This game lived up to expectations. Linden had won the state title in 1975, Barberton had won in 1976 and they were 1-2 in the polls in 1977. Barberton led by two entering the final quarter, but Penn and Sterling Williams of Linden led a fourthquarter charge that gave the Panthers an 80-74 victory. 2 — Centerburg vs. Worthington Christian, 1995 Division IV boys district final: The greatest game I’ve seen at the Fairgrounds. Before an overflow crowd, these small schools battled through four quarters and an

overtime before Jeremy Hubbard hit a 25-foot shot to give Centerburg the win. It was high school basketball at its greatest. 1 — Columbus North vs. Middletown, 1958 boys Class AA boys state semifinal: The greatest sports event I have attended. Middletown, led by Lucas, had gone 76 games without losing and had won two state titles. But North hung tough, and when Eddie Clark made a running shot with 4 seconds left, the Polar Bears had achieved the biggest upset in Ohio high school basketball history. It still is today. I can even take you to St. John Arena and show you where I sat. Enjoy this state tournament. I hope to say hi to you at Ohio State. I’ll see you at a game.

Continued from page B1 Patel will play second base, with junior Mara Waldo at catcher. Joining Widner in the outfield should be senior Sam Curry, the coach’s granddaughter, and junior Erin Bennett. Curry finished with 19 RBI a year ago. Also on the team are senior Allison Lichwa and sophomore Emily Finchum, each of whom could spend time at catcher and third base. Curry likely will follow Widner in the batting order, with Ardrey, Pugh and Mayle rounding out the top five. “(Ardrey’s) so much stronger than she was last year,” Joseph said. “It just took a long time to bring those kids along after we lost all of those kids from the state (semifinalist) team (in 2009).” Joseph has won 395 games since taking over at Ready in 1992 and has led the program to 11 CCL championships, nine district titles and one state championship. Last season, the Silver Knights were 15-10 overall and had a string of five consecutive CCL titles snapped as they went 5-3 to finish behind DeSales (8-0) and ahead of Watterson (4-4), Hartley (3-5) and Worthington Christian (0-8). Worthington Christian is no longer competing in the CCL. •The baseball team is hoping to build on a postseason in which it reached a Division III district semifinal for the seventh time in nine seasons. The Silver Knights, who finished 8-21 overall last season, lost eight players to graduation, but they return six seniors and three juniors who saw playing time a year ago. Senior Erik Dubiel is expected to be the No. 1 pitcher. He saw key innings in a 4-3 win over top-seeded Fredericktown

Raven Ferguson feels like she has been playing on the Africentric Early College girls basketball team “her whole life.” Opponents probably feel the same about the senior standout and captain of the ThisWeek Super 12 girls basketball team. After becoming a starter as a freshman, Ferguson helped the Nubians go 89-15 overall, 56-0 against City League-South Division opponents and win four district championships. This season, Ferguson was the Division III district Player of the Year while leading Africentric to a regional runner-up finish. “It will be weird to go to the games next year, but it’s just time for me to move on to bigger things,” Ferguson said. Next season, she’ll be a freshman at Ohio State. “Africentric has made me a lot more confident off the court and on the court,” she said. “I’ll be going in to try to play, and I think I’ll have a chance to start. (Africentric) coach (Will) McKinney always says that defense is about pride, about not letting your person score on you. He always tells us that at the next level, that’s how you get on the court. I’m still trying to improve

Player of the Year with Ally Malott of Middletown Madison. She finished with 1,739 career points. “Raven is clearly Miss Basketball for the state of Ohio,” McKinney said. “I think the kid from Twinsburg (Malina Howard) is nice, but Raven Ferguson, when you look at the whole body of work, is deserving.” •OTHER FIRST-TEAMERS — Taylor Agler (Olentangy Orange, So., guard), Destini Cooper (Reynoldsburg, So., center), Symone Denham (Northland, Jr., guard), Kavunaa Edwards (Pickerington North, Sr., center), Travecia Franklin (Brookhaven, Sr., guard), Caitlin Kusan (Westerville North, Sr., forward), Tiyona Marshall (Gahanna, Sr., guard), Alexis Peterson (Northland, So., guard), Tabatha Piper (Big Walnut, Sr., guard), Meredith Strangers (Dublin Coffman, Sr., guard) and Aliyah Zantt (Reynoldsburg, Jr., guard). •HONORABLE MENTION — Ashley Bassett-Smith (Orange, Jr., center), Paige Cashin (Newark, So., center), Mary Corbett (Upper Arlington, Sr., guard), Frannie Frazier (Thomas Worthington, So., forward), Jasmine Henshaw (Pickerington Central, Jr., forward), Alana Lassiter (Columbus East, Jr., center), Morgan Neighbors (Westerville

in the second round of the district tournament. The other seniors are Jacob Chapman (C), Jeff Johnson (P), William Marting (1B), Ryan Moore (OF) and Landon Wolfe (P). Junior Brian Horn likely will be in the pitching rotation and also should see time at third base. The other juniors are Brian Hasenkamp (P) and Alex Kopczyk (P). Sophomores Ross Etgen, Mitch McNabb and Sean Mogan all could see action in the outfield, with Etgen and McNabb also being candidates to pitch. Also competing for playing time are sophomore Matthew Sweet (OF) and freshman Zach Jarrett (C). “There’s always a lot of anticipation for the season,” said third-year coach Harry Caruso, whose team opens Tuesday, March 29, at Utica. “We’re really young. We lost a lot of seniors, so we’ve gone in a direction where we’re playing a little bit more youth.” Last season, Ready beat Cale-

Tyler Davis, who pitched complete games against River Valley and Academy, led a 2010 senior class that also included Jordan Carnes, Chase Chapman, Andrew Clarke, Dwight Etgen, Matt Feeney, Jeremy Finchum and Matt Magni. Magni was the winning pitcher against Fredericktown. Ready finished last in the CCL at 0-10 last year, behind DeSales (8-2), St. Charles (7-3), Watterson (6-4), Hartley (5-5) and Worthington Christian (4-6). “Two years in a row we got to basically the same place (in the postseason),” Caruso said. “We’re expecting bigger and better things this year.

Children with severe burns need team of doctors for care Burn injuries can be physically harmful and emotionally challenging. For severe burns, the recovery process can be both long and painful. Fortunately, there are many options and treatments available to help. Children who suffer burn injuries may face two stages of surgical intervention. The first is to assist with the initial healing of the burn and the second is to provide for long-term restoration of both form and function. Many burns heal without the need for surgical intervention. If the burns are deep enough, however, healing cannot take place, and skin grafting is necessary. This process involves the surgical transplantation of thin sheets of skin from an uninjured part of the body (usually the buttocks or thighs) to the burned area. Skin is removed from an uninjured part of the body using a special surgical instrument called a dermatome. The site from which the skin is taken is called

Page B3

the donor site. The burned skin is removed and the injured area is resurfaced with the skin graft. RICHARD It may be KIRSCHNER held in place with skin glue, stitches or skin staples. With time, the transplanted skin heals and replaces that which was destroyed by the burn. It typically takes seven to 10 days for the skin grafts to heal. Grafted skin, however, always has an abnormal, scarred appearance. In the long term, plastic surgery may be needed in order to reconstruct damaged structures, such as the lips, nose, ears and hands. Plastic surgery may also be performed in order to improve the appearance of scars and to release tight scar bands (called contractures) that interfere with the motion of the underlying joints. In many cases, rehabilitation following burn injury requires

the work of several professionals (pediatric surgeon, plastic surgeon, physical and occupational therapists and nurses) working as a team. The Burn Program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital also includes dieticians, social workers, therapeutic recreational therapists, massage therapists and psychologists. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery provides comprehensive care for all pediatric plastic surgical problems, including reconstructive surgery following burn injury. With the support of family, friends, a specialized teams of surgeons, physicians and therapists, patients can expect to recover from this experience and live normal, healthy lives.
