State-of-the-city address

Mayor says less government is better By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Mayor Don Schonhardt titled his latest state-of-the-city address “Trimming the Sails,” and he discussed some successes in 2010, future projects, and the challenges he expects in his third term. On March 16, a nearly full City Hall heard Schonhardt set the tone for the address with a quote from William Arthur

“To say the past year has been a difficult year would be a gross understatement,” Schonhardt said. “I hope this recovery teaches us that we must be ever Go to ThisWeekNews.com to read a vigilant in government and continue to complete transcript of Mayor Don control expenditures by resisting the opSchonhardt’s state-of-the-city address. portunity to expand government, thus putting more pressure on taxpayers and Ward: “The pessimist complains about businesses in our community.” The mayor said his philosophy of govthe wind; the optimist expects it to ernment is “less is better,” and he has change; the realist adjusts the sails.”

made do in part by “enacting a hiring freeze for all but the most critical positions.” Schonhardt said he is a fiscal conservative who is willing to “walk the walk” because “the citizens of this community rely on us to deliver quality basic governmental services at a price they can afford.” He said he feels Hilliard citizens want balance — “a community with room for growth, but not uncontrolled

growth.” Among the basic government services were “enough recreational offerings to provide a quality-of-life dimension.” He described some programs the administration has been exploring, including: • A community garden park within Hilliard. See SCHONHARDT, page A2

New HPD officers sworn in By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Four new officers were sworn into the Hilliard Division of Police on March 21, the first to join the force since 2008. Anthony Agosta, Justin Cramer, Brandon Long and Jared Zellers were sworn in at a ceremony in the Safety Services Building, which was filled with family members and city, police and fire staff. “This is a very special group,” Police Chief Douglas Francis said of the four men, who are his first hires. “These guys represent 2 percent of the people who put in for this job. They went through a great deal to get here. We had a challenging yet fair process that allowed us to pick the cream that rose to the top.” Francis said the four-month process included a community panel of business people, members of the fire department and the schools. “Our goal was to find that individual that not only fit our agency, but the Hilliard communi-

ty as well,” Francis said. “These gentlemen are going to be here 30 years, so we’ve got to make sure we identify the absolute best candidates.” Each officer was introduced before being sworn in: • Agosta, 23, resides in Bexley, is a graduate of Lancaster High School, worked at Mt. Carmel-

St. Ann’s, attends Ohio State University and serves in the Army National Guard. • Cramer, 26, resides in Delaware, is a graduate of North Baltimore High School and Bowling Green State University, and was a staff sergeant in the United States Air Force. • Long, 30, was born in Hilliard and resides in Dublin, is a graduate of Hilliard High School and Ohio University, served in the USAF and was an inmate counselor. • Zellers, 22, resides in Pataskala, is a graduate of Watkins Memorial High School, attends Columbus State Community College, and serves in the Air National Guard. Francis said Zellers will be “hitting the streets right away” (in a few weeks) and the other three officers start their 18-week stint at the Police Academy in Columbus this week. “New officers bring new energy, and that’s exciting for me,” Francis said. Mayor Donald Schonhardt administered the

Norwich Township trustee Larry Earman commented on Gov. John Kasich’s proposed biennium budget last week, saying the proposed cuts in government funding will lead to a levy vote next year. “I appreciate the problem the governor has,” Earman said. “He’s got to do what he’s got to do. He doesn’t want to increase taxes. I hear that, but

Norwich Township’s problem is we can’t cut enough out of our expenses to make up for the lost revenue.” The Kasich plan Larry Earman includes a 50-percent cut in Local Government Fund assistance. “Fortunately, it’s not a major number,” Earman said. “It’s approximately $100,000 a year.

There’s a 25-percent cut at fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, and then it would be another 25 percent, bringing it down to 50 percent the following year. That’s one of the cuts.” Earman said changes to the personal property tax reimbursement will also result in a hit to the township. “Five, six years ago when they eliminated the personal property tax, substituted it with the commercial activity tax, the state made school

Gov. John Kasich’s proposed state budget makes passage of Hilliard’s school levy more important, according to Superintendent Dale McVey. If Issue 7 — the 6.9-mill operating levy — fails in the May 3 election, McVey said $3,890,279 in possible budget reductions could go into effect for the 2011-12 school year. Those cuts include eliminating 51.5 positions, reducing 247 Dale McVey positions, eliminating all middle school athletics programs, eliminating gifted instruction, fifth-grade band and strings programs, transportation services for field trips, daycare services and gifted shuttles. A detailed list of the cuts can be found online at www.hilliardcityschools.org. “I do not want to make these cuts,” McVey said. “Hilliard City Schools has already reduced expenditures by $6.5-million, including pay freezes for administrators, teachers and staff members.

Local governments and school districts throughout Ohio have an opinion on Gov. John Kasich’s proposed state budget, and Hilliard is no exception. According to Gov. John Kasich’s proposed budget, the Local Government Fund would be cut from $665-million in the 2011 budget to $339-million in 2013, almost a 50-percent decrease. In a letter included with the state budget, Kasich wrote that the budget “closes an $8-billion structural imbalance while preserving the $800-million, two-year income-tax cut that went into effect on Jan. 1.” Hilliard Mayor Don Schonhardt mentioned the Kasich budget during his state-of-thecity address last week. “Nine percent of our general fund revenue is derived from state-levied shared taxes, of which, the Local Government Don Schonhardt Fund accounts for approximately 50-percent,” Schonhardt said. “In 2011, the proposed reductions in local gov-

• A community theater in Old Hilliard. • Converting a farm homestead into an artist-in-residence facility. “We have been aggressive in attracting new economic development into Hilliard,” Schonhardt said. He mentioned new business openings in 2010, including: Darby Glen Nursing and Rehabil-

itation on Tremont Club Drive (110 new jobs), Drayer Physical Therapy Institute on Cemetery Road (five new jobs), Floor & Décor Outlets at Mill Run (40 new jobs), Goodwill Store on Main Street (16 new jobs); Jed’s Fireballs & Brews on Park Mill Run Drive (49 new jobs). Holding up two pennies, Schonhardt

repeated a comment he made in 2010 — the city receives only two cents of every tax dollar paid by Hilliard residents on their property taxes. Noting that this is the second time in three elections that he is running unopposed, Schonhardt said, “There isn’t so much as a single waking hour where I

haven’t spent … thinking about what is best for this community.” He closed the 20-minute address by saying, “I hope you will take time to get to know all the council candidates and vote for those who genuinely are willing to put their community first and their own self-interest a distant second.”

City expects to feel pinch in Kasich plan Norwich levy likely after state budget cuts Continued from page A1

Continued from page A1 which is not part of the budget, will also come out of the coffers of local governments. Earman said the amounts collected from the estate tax varied annually, but it helped fund the operation of Wesley Chapel Cemetery on Dublin Road. “When you combine both what the state’s going to do to the township, and then what the city of Hilliard does to the township by granting TIFs and tax abatements to the tune of another $450,000 a year in tax revenue that the township doesn’t get … What the state and the city are forcing the township to do is we’ll be on the ballot probably in 2012,” Earman said. “The good news is we haven’t been on the ballot since 1998. That’s a long time for a governmental entity to do without a tax increase,” he said. “My philosophy is we want to maintain the level of services that we currently have. I don’t want to see, and I don’t think our residents want to see, the level of service by our fire and emergency squad people cut. You want them there when you need them. “But where we’re stuck is we’re going to have to ask the voters to give us an increase in property taxes, or we would have to cut services. We don’t want to have to do that.”

ernment funds will reduce general fund revenues by $100,000. That reduction will grow in 2012 to $400,000. “If these reductions in theLocal Government Fund continue at the same rate during the state’s next biennium budget, local government funds will be completely eliminated as a source of revenue to the city by 2015. That means on an annual basis, in excess of $800,000 in revenues will no longer be available to citizens of this community to help provide basic governmental services. “If we now couple the elimination of local government fund revenues with the sepa-

rately proposed legislation to eliminate the estate tax, the city of Hilliard will lose an additional source of revenue beginning in 2013 that has contributed on average approximately $250,000 annually. “Let me provide a practical example of the impact of these changes. For every $100,000 we lose in revenue from other sources, we need 125 new jobs paying an average annual salary of $40,000 to make up the loss. It would require two employers the size of BMW Financial Services Group (based in Hilliard) to compensate us for the revenue lost from the Local Government Fund alone. You would need four BMW Financial Services to recover the revenue loss resulting

from reduced investment earnings ($720,000) and the elimination of the local government fund revenue ($830,000), tough to accomplish during a jobless recovery.” While Kasich has said local governments “need to become much more efficient,” Schonhardt said the city of Hilliard has wrung “every ounce of efficiency from every department and employee. “We know there are great challenges ahead and we will meet those challenges by doing what we have been doing. It’s our job to protect the bottom line in the city of Hilliard and the residents of this community need to know I will do everything in my power to do just that.”

McVey says budget cuts elevate levy need Continued from page A1

If Issue 7 is not successful, serious reductions will have to be made.” Kasich’s budget calls for a 12.1-percent cut in basic aid for primary and secondary education in 2012, and another 7.6percent cut in 2013. The cuts are mainly from $736-million lost by the state accelerating the phase-out of the business tangible personal property tax reimThe HPD is authorized to have bursement and a $457-million Continued from page A1 52 officers, but does not plan to loss of federal stimulus money.

The four new officers will bring the HPD’s officer strength to 49, Francis said, because there were four recent retirements on the force.

$14.1-million in state school funding dollars over the next two school years ... by $5.2-million in fiscal year 2012 and $8.9-million in 2013. This will represent

a 15.4 percent decrease in state foundation money for FY 12 and 26 percent in FY 13,” McVey said. Under Ohio law, districts that

show a budget deficit early in their five-year financial forecast are required to list cuts the school district would make to eliminate a deficit if their levy doesn’t pass. Hilliard’s board of education will hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. March 28 in the Central Office Annex Building to take action on the reductions. “Together, this community has built an excellent school district,” McVey said. “I want to preserve the quality of education and programs we have today. Issue 7 gives us that opportunity.” gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Brown Township

Officials get update on comprehensive plan By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A closer look

Hilliard city staff presented a draft of the city’s comprehensive plan for the portion affecting Brown Township at the March 21 meeting of township trustees. The Big Darby focus area is bounded to the north by Hayden Run Road; to the south by Roberts Road; to the east by Alton Darby Creek Road; and to the west by Elliott, Scioto Darby, Davis and Walker roads. The area is in the western portion of the comprehensive plan, and is located within the Big Darby Creek watershed. Hilliard’s comprehensive plan will follow the basic guidelines set forth in the Darby Accord Master Plan (which the city adopted in 2008 with 9 other municipalities), with the potential to be “in-

The Big Darby focus area is bounded to the north by Hayden Run Road; to the south by Roberts Road; to the east by Alton Darby Creek Road; and to the west by Elliott, Scioto Darby, Davis and Walker roads. The area is in the western portion of the comprehensive plan, and is located within the Big Darby Creek watershed.

novative in the image it sets.” The plan calls for creating and adopting a “conservation development zoning district” that allows for a density of one housing unit per acre and a minimum of fifty-percent open space. There would be

approximately 2,000 units. There would also be 660 acres of primary preservation areas (streams and riparian corridors, wetlands and 100-year floodplain); 374 acres of secondary preservation areas (tree stands and farmland); proposed roads; paths linking the Hilliard Municipal Park to Prairie Oaks Metro Park and neighborhoods to Bradley High School; two 5,000 square-foot retail areas along Alton Darby Creek Road and a community educational center. The plan listed six recommendations for the area: • Provide a variety of creative residential development options that respond to the objectives and guidelines of the Darby Accord. • Allow for a mix of residential products and services within individual developments.

• Develop standards to mandate creative architecture and development patterns within the area. • Promote sustainable development choices above and beyond what is required by the Darby Accord Watershed Master Plan. • Ensure that open space areas are accessible and cohesively linked. • Provide educational opportunities that showcase the unique features of the Darby area, both built and un-built. According to the plan, “Leveraging the unique nature of the Darby area creates an opportunity to build a one-of-a-kind area that improves the city’s character, identity, recreation options, and housing alternatives by maximizing the unique natural characteristics of this undeveloped area through a careful balance of development and conservation.”

Public service director Clyde Seidle and city planner John Talentino fielded questions from the public, trustees and township staff. Amid concerns about proposed road extensions and added lanes in the area, Seidle and Talentino said that details weren’t set yet. Seidle said the comprehensive plan was seven months behind schedule, but he thought there would be public hearings on it in the summer. Also at the meeting: • Franklin County highway engineer Cornell Robertson introduced himself as a candidate for Hilliard City Council and talked about roadwork being done at Roberts and Alton Darby roads. • Executive assistant to the board Beth Clark said the casino on the west side of Columbus will have no impact on the proposed Darby Town Center development.

Norwich trustees mull repair ideas for Schirtzinger Road By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

During their March 21 meeting, the Norwich Township trustees heard some suggestions on improving Schirtzinger Road and Holcomb Ditch. Cornell Robertson of the Franklin County engineer’s office said a two-inch mill and fill common to township roadways would cost about $150,000 for the full stretch of the unincorporated part of Schirtzinger. However, he felt that resurfacing would only last one to two years without storm sewer maintenance done along the road at the same time. He said the mill and fill with inkind storm sewer replacements would cost $400,000, helping the road last at least five to seven years. If the sewer maintenance was done, trees along the road would be affected, Robertson said. The trustees noted that residents along the road were divided about whether they would be willing to have their trees removed. Another option would be to do spot repairs until major work was done on Holcomb Ditch to improve drainage. However, getting a grant to have the improvements done to the ditch would take two or three years. “Truly that road will be gravel

by then,” trustee Mike Cope said. Robertson said orifice plates, which affect water flow, could be added to the storm sewers. The trustees said Robertson was told to look into getting an estimate on the cost of the project with orifice plates, a time frame and mark the trees that would be affected by the sewer work for the April 3 trustee meeting. “Let’s belabor this more until we come up with a plan that we really think will work,” Cope said. After the meeting, Robertson said that once approved, the work would take one week to do the

paving and three weeks to work February. He also commented on on the storm sewers. the homicides that took place at Also at the meeting: the VIP Lounge on Main Street. • The trustees tabled approving Francis said he thought it was an easement for American Electrical Power to erect power lines on Wesley Chapel property north of Dublin Road. AEP has agreed to compensate the Township $3,000 plus $200 per tree removed. • Fire Chief David Long gave longevity awards to Josh Cox and Nick Lantz for 10 years of service, and Brett Balyeat for 5 years’ perfect attendance. • Police Chief Douglas Francis said police activity was light for

an isolated incident at the bar. According to witness statements, each of the men involved had been drinking, and a verbal incident es-

calated into a physical confrontation. The suspect had used a 3inch-long folding knife in stabbing four people, two fatally.

Commentary & opinion

As it were

Everybody walked when Columbus was young Columbus has not been a “walking city” for quite some time. There was a time, when Columbus was young, when everybody walked to get just about anywhere. But that time, that walking time, ended relatively early in the city’s history. Columbus was and is a created city. There was no city on the “High Banks opposite Franklinton” until the Ohio General Assembly brought it into being in 1812. That new town was ED a place of LENTZ many trees and few people for a number of years. But even after the trees were gone and the streets were lit nightly with oil lamps, people walked to get from place to place. The residents of Columbus walked to church, and to school and to the shops that extended south from Statehouse Square toward Main Street. Even after the Ohio Canal and the National Road arrived in Columbus in the early 1830s, it remained a walking city. A ride on the canal or along the National Road was expensive and most people simply did not have that kind of money. Because most cities, like Columbus, were walking cities, there was little inclination to reside anywhere other than close to downtown. So that is what most people did until well after the end of the Civil War in 1865. But it was during the war that the new age was foretold. The first streetcar appeared on High Street in 1863 in the middle of the Civil War. It seemed to be a good time for this kind of innovation. The small town of 18,000 people had suddenly become the home of thousands of Union troops at nearby Camp Chase on the West Side of the city. It was a good time to grow a business in central Ohio. A lot of people did just that, and Columbus became a rather big city in the years after the war. It was in those years that Columbus became a “streetcar city” as well. That one lonely streetcar moving up and down High Street pulled by two overworked horses soon was succeeded by a number of streetcar companies. Each served a different part of town and each wound its way through its own particular part of the city, eventually ending up somewhere near the center of things that came to be called “downtown.” 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 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. 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.

Schonhardt offers HCF theater in Old Hilliard By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A closer look

Plays could be staged soon in Old Hilliard, if a building owned by the city is accepted for use by the Hilliard Community Foundation. On March 17, members of the foundation met with Mayor Don Schonhardt, who said the city acquired a 6,000-square-foot stucco building last fall located near the start of the Rail Trail near Center and Wayne streets. The building is structurally sound and can be expanded. The façade can be changed as long as it meets Old Hilliard guidelines. Structures constructed of sheet metal and wood next to the building would be razed. “We didn’t start looking at this as an opportunity for a community theater until you guys were having trouble with the funding issue,” Schonhardt said to foundation members. “This is an opportunity to do something that helps address what the comprehensive plan said we ought to be doing, and also help you.” The Hilliard Community Foundation (HCF) was formed in 2008 with the goal of constructing an arts and community center that would house four organizations: Destination Hilliard; Franklin County Agricultural Society; Hilliard Arts Council; and the Northwest Franklin County Historical Society. The HCF has proposed building the center next to the Joint Safety Services Building on Northwest Parkway. On March 14, the HCF asked city council to back a resolution in support of its vision, but without specifying a location or asking for funds. Schonhardt said the resolution should be tabled to the council

meeting March 28, at which time the HCF would have more specific information they could offer the public for fundraising. Drawings of a proposed 170-seat theater were made by Bird-Houk, an architecture, engineering and planning firm that worked on the First Responders Park. Co-founder Jim Houk said an outdoor amphitheater/water fountain plaza would be nearby. Houk called the proposed theater “a great asset to the city. The number one focus in the comprehensive plan is to create the center of Old Hilliard as a center of activity. That’s why you’ve seen the amount of investment that is going in already. “The goal is when somebody comes down there they stay for an extended period of time,” he said. “You can go to dinner in a restaurant and walk over to a performance and go stroll in the park afterwards.

HCF THEATER Continued from page A5 It all adds to that environment we’re trying to create.” HCF members Bob Apel, Phyllis Ernst and David Patch had questions. Patch asked if plays could be staged in six months. Schonhardt said he thought so, but renovations would be needed. “We’ve done a feasibility study, but you’re offering an opportunity for us to have a building and get started sooner,” Ernst said. She asked Schonhardt, “Is that your offer to us, that the foundation would then take it over and proceed?” “I don’t have my legal counsel here, but I don’t have a problem,” Schonhardt said. “I am offering to give it to you. You have to show me how you’re going to make it work.” HCF members are meeting this week to hear

more information and discuss whether to accept the city’s offer, and if so, estimate the cost of renovations. Among their concerns was whether the building could house all four organizations. They also expressed concern about the dramatic change in plans. “There’s been a lot of work put into this by all the groups, but we’ve also got to the point that we weren’t moving forward very quickly,” said Bill Uttley, a member of city council and the HCF. “This is a potential way to jump-start this. They’re presenting us an opportunity here.” “The strong selling point would be what it does for the community, and how it reestablishes Old Hilliard,” Apel said. “All the businesses that everybody says they want to see in Old Hilliard, this is how you get them. They’re not coming until you do this,” Schonhardt said.

Clark said she is working with local realtors to distribute welcome packets and Hilliard Advantage cards to new residents. “We hope to add an additional 30 businesses within the next year to the Hilliard Advantage Program,” Clark said. “Intern Wanda Anderson is working diligently on contacting local businesses to participate.” Clark said residents who have misplaced their cards can still get one by calling Destination Hilliard at (614) 6643290.

Tax Series More tax refunds paid, IRS reminds filers about savings bond option WASHINGTON — The IRS is reminding those who haven’t filed their tax returns that they can receive their refunds in the form of savings bonds, payments to retirement accounts, mutual funds, as well as in the form of cash directly deposited to a checking or savings account. By March 4, the IRS had issued more than 52 million refunds worth $161 billion for an average refund of $3,070. For tax year 2010 returns, there are new savings bond options. Last year, if the taxpayer chose to receive a savings bond as part of the refund, it could only be issued in the taxpayers’ name. This year, taxpayers can designate anyone to receive a savings bond and also designate the co-owner or beneficiary. Also a new section was added to Form 8888, Allocation of Refund (Including Savings Bond Purchases), for entering savings bond information so that taxpayers no longer need to enter a pre-specified routing number. Instead, taxpayers will enter the bond owner’s name. The savings bonds will be mailed to the taxpayer or the person designated on the form. Taxpayers who claim a tax refund on Form 1040 can use Form 8888 to split their refunds. Refunds can be directed into bank accounts and other financial institutions where their mutual funds or retirement accounts are managed and to purchase U.S. Series I Savings Bonds. Taxpayers can choose to use a portion of the refund to buy up to $5,000 in low-risk savings bonds, which earn interest and protect owners against inflation. The bonds must be purchased in $50 increments. Direct deposit of any remaining refund amounts is no longer required. Paper checks can be requested for the balance. During 2010, more than 99,000 bonds were purchased using Form 8888, totaling more than $11 million dollars. To check the status of a bond purchase request, go to the “Where’s My Refund” section of IRS website, www.irs.gov. If the IRS has already processed the refund and placed the request for the bond, then the tax filer should contact Treasury Retail Securities at 1-800-245-2804. For more information, visit IRS.gov

Here at Hilliard Davidson, senior Jeremy Witt is very well known, especially in the music and drama departments. He is a four year member of the Drama Club and has been a part of the winter and spring plays since freshman year. In the upcoming spring play “Beauty and the Beast,” Jeremy earned the role of the main character, “The Beast.” He is also heavily involved in choir and the marching band. The Boys in Blue is composed of the very best male singers in the school. Jeremy has been a member of the Boys in Blue for three years. This is an immense commitment because it is much like a sport, having frequent practices after school. He serves in major leadership roles as the leader of the Boys in Blue and the vice president of Senior Choir. Jeremy’s favorite teacher, Mrs. Bundy, says “Jeremy is one of the most outstanding, self-less, and tremendous leaders I have had in my thirty-one years of teaching.” Since freshman year, Jeremy has been a member of the marching band. This year he was one of the three field commanders which is another major leadership role. The field commanders rotate among each other and are responsible for assisting the directors, conducting, and helping out wherever they are needed. Jeremy also participates in many activities outside of school. He is a member of his youth group at church and the youth band. For all of his life he has been helping out all around the world on mission trips, helping those less fortunate. In the very little free time that Jeremy has, he really enjoys singing, hanging out with friends, and seeing movies. Carissa Zorich has known Jeremy for many years now and is his best friend. She has nothing but good things to say about Jeremy. “I’ve known Jeremy since the seventh grade and have hardly ever seen him without a smile on his face. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have him in my life. He has always been there for me during rough times and always tries his hardest to make my day better.” Someone that is an obvious leader and great student would surely have his future planned out. Jeremy has decided to attend Cedarville University located in Cedarville, Ohio. It is no surprise that he has decided to major in music education. His dedication to the various programs and great all around attitude have made Jeremy the outstanding individual he is today. With all of Jeremy’s high school accomplishments, he is a great role model for all of us.

Talita’s legend is alive and well in Grove City “The food hasn’t changed a bit,” yelled a lady from the middle of a long dining room to its front counter. “Nope, that’s the only way I know how to make it,” replied a grinning Frank Prince, the longtime proprietor and head cook at the Grove City Talita’s. What can you say about Talita’s? Love it or hate it — and most people I know have a soft spot for it — you cannot deny it’s evocative of a Columbus that barely exists any more. Because when the first Talita’s opened in town back in the ’60s, it truly was a pioneering Mexican-ish restaurant. So when the last Talita’s in Columbus closed a few years ago, it really did signal the end of an era. Now if you want a taste of Talita’s “authentic Brownsville-style Tex-Mex cuisine” you have to get yourself to Grove City. But you’ll be getting more than just Talita’s “famous” food. Operational for about 14 years, the Grove City Talita’s is a unique-looking place. Cluttered wall-to-wall with Mexi-

by G.A. Benton kitsch plus shrines to the Buckeyes and, especially, the military, it looks more like a VFW hall than a restaurant. So there are military Ken and Barbie dolls, fields of flags, a “Sands of Iwo Jima” movie poster and a long rack of every U.S. military uniform you could possibly think of. And believe me, I’m only scratching the surface here. Foodwise, a friend once succinctly summed up Talita’s general approach to assembling menu items as “the threepot theory.” In one pot is seasoned ground beef; in another, refried beans; the third holds a paprika-powered enchilada sauce. Now just add cheese and/or onions and/or some sort of tortilla and bingo! there’s most of the menu. Of course you’ve gotta start off with that beloved Talita’s classic, the Corn

surprisingly, and probably nostalgically, satisfying. Ditto for Talita’s Tex-Mex Chili with Cheese ($2.85) — a rib-sticking hybrid of refried beans and zingy chili. I also enjoyed the simplicity of the Avocado Dip with Chips ($5.45). Not By Daniel Sohner/ThisWeek quite guacamole, it’s barely smashed avocado with salt, onion and lime. Two chicken enchiladas with beans My favorite entrees were actually and rice and a corn nacho with ones that veered away from ground jalapeños at Talita’s. beef — like the Two Chicken EnchiNacho ($1). It’s just a crispy fried tor- ladas with Beans and Rice ($8.45). I tilla with a blanket of melted cheddar thought the pulled, stewy poultry worked cheese plus pickled jalapenos, but it’s nicely with Talita’s enchilada sauce. As

for the sides — the refried beans were super heavy and the oregano and tomato-flavored rice was kinda gummy. I’d also recommend the Shredded Beef Taster Dinner ($9). It uses good, juicy and homey pot roast in the usual Talita’s ways. There’s also an “Italian menu” you must ask for if you want it. From that document, I’d go with the Baked Pasta Dinner ($10) — thin spaghetti, meatballs (good, tender), sausage (fennelseeded) and red sauce (rich, longcooked) topped with melted provolone. As I left with most of that giant combo in tow, Frank Prince — who doesn’t know me — said goodbye like I was a cherished old friend. I suppose that’s the only way he knows how to do it. To read G.A.

Matt the Miller’s latest addition to Grandview Avenue Undaunted by an uncertain economy, Craig Barnum has chosen the crowded Grandview Avenue market as the location for his new restaurant. Matt the Miller’s, a casual brand he wants to expand regionally, opens March 28 in a new building along the popular commercial corridor. Barnum’s restaurant is part of a new mixed-use development that replaces a building badly damaged by a fire in 2009.

He said the menu is identical to the original Matt the Miller’s, which opened in October 2008 in Dublin. The floor plan is slightly smaller — 500 square feet smaller than the 5,000-square-foot Dublin space — and there are a few different design elements, such as retractable windows in the bar area and a semi-open kitchen. But he didn’t hold back on furnishings,

he said, from the artisan light fixtures and booths, plush carpeting, stone accents and custom-made beer towers. The goal is to create a laid-back environment that appeals to a wide range of diners. Entrees are generally priced between $15 and $28, with certified Angus steaks accounting for the more expensive dishes. There will be numerous styles of flatbreads, which are among the more popular choices in Dublin. The place will offer 26 beers, mostly micro-brews, on tap, and about 75 wines from around the globe. Brian McCafferty, the chef in Dublin, will move to the new location, 1400 Grandview Ave. Grandview Avenue is home to several high-profile restaurants, including Z Cucina, Spagio and Shoku, not to mention Third & Hollywood, which is right around the corner. Plus, there are a number of casual spots — such as Mazah, Aladdin’s Eatery, Grandview Café, Figlio and Vino Vino — in a relatively short stretch of roadway. So in short, there’s no shortage of places to eat. Barnum said restaurants build off of each other, creatBy Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek ing a solid reputation for the destination district.

Barnum said he’s not worried: Strong operators endure bear markets. He points to his Dublin store, which replaced the defunct Burgundy Room.

YMCA fundraiser continues to March 31 Hilliard YMCA People Helping People annual support campaign continues through March. This year’s campaign theme is for everyone in the community to help “Just One” child or family enjoy the YMCA. “All financial contributions benefit children and their families by making memberships and

programs available to everyone,” said Greg Cottrill, executive director of the Hilliard YMCA, in a statement. “The YMCA People Helping People Scholarship Fund affirms the YMCA as a charity. It allows for people of all backgrounds and financial circumstances to belong to the YMCA and take part in all the enriching activities it offers.” In 2010, more than 900 individuals and families from the greater Hilliard area were helped to participate in Y programs or enjoy a YMCA membership through the campaign, in keeping with the Y’s philosophy of not turning away those who are unable to pay.

Softball

Jaguars hope to repeat as league champs By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard Bradley High School softball team returns seven starters in its quest to repeat as OCC-Capital Division champions. Bradley, which opened in 2009-10 with no senior class, finished its first season 20-6 overall and 13-1 in league play. The first senior class hopes to top those numbers this season, which begins April 4 at New Albany. However, the two starters who did

not return played strong middle defense for the Jaguars. Junior Brooke Espenschied, who played shortstop, is concentrating on AAU basketball. Senior Kelly Dalton, who played center field, has another obligation. “We’ll make it work,” said coach Kevin Moody, whose team lost to DeSales 3-1 in a Division II district semifinal last season. “With seven starters back, how can anyone complain about that? We’ve got a great bunch of seniors and they’re providing great leadership. Our seniors are outworking

everybody else and they’re fun to be around.” Topping the list of returnees is senior Kellie Roudabush, who led the Jaguars in pitching and hitting last season and has signed with Akron. She was 14-4 with a 1.33 ERA, seven shutouts and 163 strikeouts in 121 1/3 innings. She batted .587 with 33 runs and 29 RBI, and 19 of her 44 hits were doubles (11), triples (3) or home runs (5). She was the Division II district Player of the Year and the league’s Player of the Year. She also was first-

team all-state after being secondteam all-state in Division I in 2009 at Darby. Roudabush, who hopes to play third base for the Zips, wants to pitch less this season and concentrate on hitting. “She is such a good athlete,” Moody said. “She plays shortstop for her summer team and doesn’t really pitch much. She also has played third base on all-star teams. She’ll be great wherever we put her.” Senior Jordan Camp is expected to move from right field to center field.

She was second-team all-district and first-team all-league last season after hitting .367 with 16 runs. Other seniors returning to their positions include first baseman Danielle Dunnagan and left fielder Colleen O’Shea. Dunnagan batted .320 with 14 runs and 10 RBI and was special mention all-league. Rounding out the senior class are outfielder Rachel Miller and pitcher Tayler Young, who was special mention all-league last See JAGUARS, page C6

Baseball

Bradley picks up where it left off By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Michael Scaglione is expected to contribute as a pitcher, infielder and outfielder for the Wildcats. Last season, Scaglione batted .314 with 16 runs and was 5-3 on the mound with a 2.21 ERA in 41 innings. Davidson opens Tuesday, March 29, against Watkins Memorial.

’Cats eager to prove themselves By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Jim Dougherty is having fun this preseason. As he begins his 30th season as coach of the Hilliard Davidson High School baseball team, Dougherty doesn’t have an abundance of returning veterans. Instead, he has a group of eager players ready to prove themselves. Dougherty relishes the challenge of leading a younger team. “This is my favorite kind of team,” said Dougherty, whose squad opens Tuesday, March 29 against Watkins Memo-

rial. “With a senior team, they already have their ideas as to what’s going on and go out and play. This year, we have to earn our keep as a coaching staff.” Last season, the Wildcats finished 15-14 overall after losing to Reynoldsburg 4-2 in a Division I district semifinal. In the second round, they beat topseeded Grove City 4-1. Davidson has two seniors in second baseman Nolan Gill and Andrew Gronski, a two-year starter who plays shortstop and is a right-handed pitcher. Last season, Gronski batted .373 with five homers, 30 RBI, 39 runs, 17 doubles and two triples. He also was 3-4 with one

save and a 3.15 ERA in 46 2/3 innings with 26 strikeouts and 12 walks. “I feel like I have more responsibility this year,” Gronski said. “We only have two seniors and don’t have a lot of kids with varsity experience. We have a lot of young talent that needs help moving into varsity baseball.” Returning juniors include Sam Coles (IF/P), Chase Delande (C), Michael Scaglione (OF/IF/P) and Austin Smith (OF/P). Delande hit .350 with 16 runs, eight doubles and 15 RBI. Scaglione batted .314 with 16 runs and was 5-3 with a 2.21 ERA in 41 innings with 23 strike-

outs and 13 walks. Delande, Coles and junior Zach Scarberry will catch with Coles, junior Brian May and junior Michael Wilt at first. Gill will be at second with Gronski and junior Bryce Lehwald at short. Coles, Lehwald and Jacob Reese play third base. The outfield will consist of junior Sean Neimeister in left, Smith in center and Scaglione in right. “We have some good young kids and we’re pretty athletic,” Dougherty said. “We have a lot of arms, but they are all right-handed. We’ll see how they do.” See WILDCATS, page C3

Softball

More pitching, versatility have Panthers excited By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Greater pitching depth and versatility have second-year Hilliard Darby High School softball coach Erin McClincy excited, but also a bit perplexed at this point. “This is a whole new group of players,” McClincy said. “It could take a little while to see how the pieces fit together, but I’m really excited about it. “The benefit of having versatile players and a deeper pitching staff will outweigh the fact that

we’ll be juggling the lineup early in the season. I can’t wait for the scrimmages to go over the scenarios and see how things fit.” The Panthers return a handful of letterwinners from a team that finished 15-14 overall after losing to Dresden Tri-Valley 10-5 in a Division I district semifinal. Tri-Valley won a district title; all three Hilliard softball teams lost to district champions last season. By Tim Norman/ThisWeek Darby has two seniors in LeAnn Chumita (2B/OF) and Mollie Obert (3B/1B). LeAnn Chumita joins Mollie Obert as the only seniors on the

, Don t let your kid go to IOU.

Matt Gilkerson likes what he sees as the Hilliard Bradley High School baseball team prepares for its second season. As coach of the Jaguars, Gilkerson said he no longer has to teach his philosophies and strategies from the most basic level. “The kids are picking things up well and we don’t have to start from the ground level,” said Gilkerson, whose team opens Monday, March 28, at Hamilton Township. “It’s not like teaching science to monkeys. This year they get it.” Bradley finished 17-10 overall last year after losing to topseeded Jonathan Alder 12-2 in six innings in a Division II district semifinal. The Jaguars tied for fourth with New Albany in the OCCCapital Division behind Mount Vernon (13-1) and Olentangy Orange and Watkins Memorial (both 9-5), and ahead of Delaware (7-7), Big Walnut (212) and Franklin Heights (014). Bradley has two seniors in shortstop Luke Simeon and Evan Parris, who plays third base and outfield. Simeon was first-team all-league and special mention all-district last season after hitting .387. Parris batted .316. Another senior, third baseman Ken Reichle (.303 average, 2-0 with two saves), returned to Grove City. He transferred to Bradley last year because SouthWestern City Schools did not have sports in fall 2009 because of a levy failure. Junior Dray Hall returns at first base after hitting .392 with 23 RBI and being named firstteam all-league and special mention all-district. Trey Welch is back in center field after hitting .358 with 21 RBI. Also returning is sophomore Jackson Everman, who was 5-3 with a 2.53 ERA. “Jackson was our No. 1 (starter) last year and, for a sophomore, he throws well. He throws strikes and keeps us in ballgames,” Gilkerson said.

ThisWeek’s 2010-11 Super 12 GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM The Captain

Nubians senior gets top billing By JARROD ULREY

About the players…

TAYLOR AGLER Olentangy Orange

So.

Olentangy Orange’s run to a Division I district final largely was because of its ability to score inside and outside. Agler, a sophomore point guard, played a vital role in connecting those facets of the Pioneers’ attack. The 5-7 Agler averaged 8.2 points and 7.3 assists and made 25 of 65 3-point attempts (38 percent). She was honorable mention all-district and first-team all-OCC-Capital Division. “Taylor has really grown into that point-guard role,” said coach Mary Ann Grimes, whose team won the OCC-Capital at 13-1 and ended the season 21-3 after losing to Pickerington North 46-39 in a district final. “We try to get everyone involved in scoring and she led the team in assists and steals (3.5 a game). I’m sure that affected her numbers as far as scoring goes, but she’s been a big part of our success.”

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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 LeagueSouth Division opponents and win four district championships. Raven Ferguson 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. He always tells us that at the next level, that’s how you get on the court. I’m still trying to improve and be better.” In her freshman season, the Nubians went 25-2 and lost in the Division IV state final. In 2008-09, they went 23-4 and won the state title as Ferguson made Super 12 honorable mention. A year ago, Africentric moved up to Division III and lost in a regional semifinal to finish 19-6. Ferguson made first-team all-district and Super 12 as she averaged 23 points, six rebounds, 3.5 assists and four steals. This season, the Nubians beat Northland 60-52 on Feb. 12 for their third City title in four years and Columbus School for Girls 74-45 on March 5 for a district title. Africentric’s season ended with a 56-50 loss to Fort Recovery in a regional final March 12. Africentric went 22-3 as Ferguson averaged 19 points, eight rebounds and three assists. She also was selected first-team allstate and was the state’s Co-Player of the Year with Ally Malott of Middletown Madison. She scored 1,739 career points. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

DESTINI COOPER Reynoldsburg

So.

Cooper, a 6-0 sophomore post player, has started every game for Reynoldsburg the past two seasons. She has helped the Raiders win one regional and two district championships while compiling a 44-8 record that included 14-0 in the OCC-Ohio Division this season. Cooper averaged 9.1 points, a team-high 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks this season. She shot a team-high 49.4 percent from the field and scored in double figures 12 times despite sitting out the fourth quarter of several blowout wins. “Destini is a terrific defender and has steadily improved her low-post offensive game,” coach Jack Purtell said. “She is very unselfish and rebounds with authority. ‘D’ is a tireless worker and leads by example.” Cooper was first-team all-league and second-team all-district.

The Bearcats went 69-21 the past four seasons, a span that included back-to-back Division I district runner-up finishes the last two seasons — and the one constant has been this 5-9 senior guard. Franklin made first-team all-district and special mention all-state as she helped Brookhaven succeed despite losing a pair of Division I recruits by midseason. An Indiana State signee, Franklin averaged 9.2 points, five rebounds and three assists as the Bearcats went 16-6. Franklin also made the Super 12 as a junior and will play in the North-South All-Star game April 17 at Capital University. “Travecia was the main reason we were able to do what we did in the tournament,” coach Reggie Lee said. “Vici’s never been a numbers person, but defense, rebounding and being unselfish have always been her real worth.”

Although her collegiate future is in softball after she signed last November to play for Miami University, Marshall was the driving force behind another long tournament run for the Lions this season. A third-team all-district and first-team allOCC-Ohio selection, Marshall averaged 13.1 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals as Gahanna went 17-7 and was a Division I district runner-up. A varsity regular since her freshman season, the 5-9 senior guard helped the Lions advance to a district semifinal in her first two seasons before they captured a district championship in her junior season. “She got better offensively and defensively,” coach Rick Hauser said. “I thought she was real unselfish this year, too. Defensively she’s kind of a spark plug.”

Piper, a 5-11 senior guard, has secured her place among the top players in the history of the Big Walnut program. A four-year starter, she finished her career with 975 points, ranking fifth on the Golden Eagles' all-time scoring list. This season, Piper averaged 13.3 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists to lead her team in each category. She also led the team with 40 steals and 25 blocks and was named OCC-Capital Player of the Year and second-team all-district in Division II. “She knew the game pretty well coming in as a freshman,” coach Bob Scott said. “No. 1, she understood what it takes to be successful. She's a very unselfish player who is good at setting up other players to score. She has a good awareness of what is going on on the court. She sees the court well.” Piper plans to play basketball and volleyball at Otterbein.

Africentric’s Raven Ferguson averaged 19 points and eight rebounds in earning Super 12 captain honors.

Kusan, a 5-10 forward, led the Warriors with averages of 14.4 points, 11.5 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game. She also added 1.8 assists per contest for North, which finished 15-7 and reached the second round of the Division I district tournament. “Caitlin is a very special kind of player,” coach Jim Kloepfer said. “She works hard in practice, plays hard in games and is a great example for our younger players. She’s the kind of player that coaches always want to coach.” Kusan, a senior, was named first-team all-district and was the Player of the Year in the OCC-Cardinal Division as the Warriors finished third in the league at 9-5 behind champion Olentangy (12-2). Kusan has signed to play volleyball at Ohio Dominican.

Edwards, who averaged 21 points and 12 rebounds, left her mark while leading the Panthers to the Division I state tournament. The 6-0 senior post player set singlegame school records for rebounds (21) and steals (eight), the latter of which points to her overall improvement. “She’s been phenomenal, especially down the stretch here for us as we made a run,” coach Dave Butcher said. “She’s one of the better athletes I’ve coached.” Edwards, who also averaged three assists, has signed to play at Villanova. Central Ohio’s only first-team all-state selection in Division I, she was voted district Player of the Year and also earned that honor in the OCC-Ohio Division. Edwards was North’s leading scorer in 18 of 27 games.

This 5-9 junior guard blossomed into one of the district’s best players, and the Vikings flourished because of it. A third-team all-district selection in Division I, Denham averaged 13.8 points and four assists while shooting 49 percent from 3-point range as Northland won its first district title since 1983. Denham made four 3-pointers and scored 28 points as the Vikings beat Brookhaven 67-48 on Feb. 4 to help seal their second City League-North title in three seasons. She has a scholarship offer to play for Kansas and also has received interest from Akron, Kent State, Michigan and Toledo, among others. “She scored 28 in the second game against Brookhaven and she had 16 (in a 58-46 win over Dublin Coffman in a district semifinal Feb. 28),” coach Dean Washington said. “She’s been pretty consistent the whole year.”

After making honorable mention all-district as a freshman, this 5-6 sophomore guard continued to assert herself as one of central Ohio’s top talents while making first-team all-district in Division I. Revered for her defense, Peterson averaged 13.9 points, four rebounds and 4.5 assists to help Northland go 21-2 and win its second City League-North Division title in three seasons. Peterson scored 20 points as Northland beat Gahanna 51-35 on March 5 to win its first district title since 1983. She made third-team all-state. “I thought Alexis Peterson did a great job (defensively during a 58-46 win over Dublin Coffman in a district semifinal Feb. 28), and I thought that was the key to the basketball game,” coach Dean Washington said. “There’s no one who’s more competitive than her.”

Stranges was a model of consistency for Dublin Coffman this season, scoring between 11 and 21 points in the first 17 games. The 6-foot-1 left-handed center then missed a game with a broken nose, but she promptly returned to help Coffman go 16-7 and reach a Division I district semifinal. A four-year varsity player, she averaged a team-high 15.6 points and 8.1 rebounds while shooting 50 percent from the field and a school-record 85 percent at the foul line. She was first-team all-OCC-Central Division and all-district and special mention allstate. “She is a really, really smart player,” coach Bryan Patton said. “Her basketball IQ is tremendous. You tell her something and it’s ingrained. She rarely makes a mental mistake.” Stranges will play volleyball at Southeast Missouri State.

Despite coming off the bench in all but one game, Zantt led the Raiders in scoring 14 times. The 5-6 junior guard averaged 13.1 points for the season and 17.6 points in five postseason games as the Raiders went 23-2 and won their second consecutive Division I district title. “Aliyah has been one of our best surprises and best kept secrets until the second half of the season,” coach Jack Purtell said. “She plays with a lot of confidence and can really score in bunches. She’s our leading scorer and, with the improvement she’s made on the defensive end, has become a complete player. She has a great attitude and loves basketball.” Zantt scored a season-high 26 points in a 58-39 district semifinal win over Hilliard Davidson on March 2. Zantt was first-team all-league and second-team all-district.

WILDCATS

Davidson will rely on strong senior class

Continued from page C1

A strong senior class will be the nucleus leading the Hilliard Davidson High School softball team this season as the Wildcats aim to advance beyond a district final. Davidson finished 23-7 overall last season after losing to top-seeded Grove City 1-0 in a Division I district championship. Back from that team are four seniors in pitcher Sam Smith, catcher Zoe Allegretti, shortstop Mallory Sodders and second baseman Tessa Kilgore as well as junior third baseman Kayla Wolfe. “We have experience in key positions and I like our youthful energy,” said coach Angelo Forte, in his 14th season leading the program. “We just have to try to stay consistent. If we’re not consistent, it will be hard to win in our tough schedule and difficult league.” The Wildcats finished third in the OCC-Central Division last season at 10-4 behind Upper Arlington (12-2) and Central Crossing (11-3) and ahead of Hilliard Darby (7-7), Thomas Worthington (6-8), Dublin Coffman (4-10) and both Westland and Worthington Kilbourne (3-11). Smith was 22-7 with one save and a 0.94 ERA in 194 innings. The right-hander had 142 strikeouts and 22 walks while holding hitters to a .183 average. The Wildcats had a team batting average of .322, led by Wolfe at .565 with 26 hits, 14 runs, two triples, 21 walks, one home run, 17 RBI, a slugging percentage of .717 and an onbase percentage of .706. Allegretti hit .402 with 37 hits, 26 runs, two doubles, two triples and one homer, and Sod-

Along with Coles, Gronski, Scaglione and Smith, the pitching staff is expected to include junior Ben Eckert, May, junior P.J. Morgan, Neimeister, Reese and Wilt. In the OCC-Central Division last season, the Wildcats tied Hilliard Darby and Thomas Worthington for third behind Worthington Kilbourne (12-2) and Upper Arlington (11-3) and ahead of Dublin Coffman (77), Central Crossing (2-12) and Westland (0-14). “We’ll be OK as long as we can score runs,” Dougherty said. “I’m always concerned that we’re never going to score a run. You never know how they will handle live pitching, and pitching always has the advantage early on. We’ll have to see how that comes along.”

Darby searching to find consistent pitching By SCOTT GERFEN

Without a deep pitching staff, the Hilliard Darby High School baseball team finished 12-15 last season and lost to New Albany 3-1 in the first round of the Division I district tournament. It’s a dilemma that 14th-year coach Chris Fugitt faces again when his team opens Tuesday, March 29, against visiting Whetstone. “We’ve got a lot of guys who we can put on the mound, but we’ve got to get some consistency,” Fugitt said. “(Senior) Sam Harmon is really the only guy with varsity experience and we feel like we’re going to get a solid outing with him on the mound.”

son (3-3, 3.09 ERA) were the bright spots last season when Darby tied for third at 8-6 with Thomas Worthington and Hilliard Davidson in the OCC-Central Division. Worthington Kilbourne (122) won the title ahead of Upper Arlington (11-3). Dublin Coffman (7-7), Central Crossing (212) and Westland (0-14) rounded out the standings. “We’re going to have a lot of unknowns out there (on the mound),” senior catcher Brad Taylor said. “I think we’ve got 14 guys who can pitch, but we need guys who can throw strikes.” The roster features 10 returning letterwinners and five

PANTHERS Continued from page C1 The other returning letterwinners are juniors Cheyenne Hamaker (C), Tyler Kohli (OF) and Tara Woods (P). Woods took over for injured pitcher Renee Nieman last year and gained valuable experience, but was the lone option for most of the season. This year she will have help from junior Carole Allen, who pitched at Centennial last season, and freshman Savannah Pizzurro. “Carole has played with our girls the past few summers, so she has a comfort level with us to begin with,” McClincy said. “She has a lot of pitching experience. Pizzurro is a great athlete and phenomenal softball player who will see time pitching as well.” Junior Angela Suttles is expected to start at shortstop to replace senior Abby Kennedy, who is preparing to play college soccer. The Panthers have nine juniors on their 12-player roster, with Amber Purdin (OF), Ashley Rose (C/utility), Heather Scott (1B) and Brandi Yauger (OF/extra hitter) all expected to see action. “The lineup will be determined by who’s pitching and

Mann hit .357 with two doubles and 12 RBI. Both return to a lineup that set a school record for batting average (.323) and scored nearly seven runs per game. “I think we can be a good offensive team,” Fugitt said. “We’ve got some decent speed, but we’ve got to find out what we’re going to be like with umpires and when the scoreboard comes on. We’ve got five or six sophomores who are pretty skilled but don’t have any varsity experience.” Those sophomores include Jake Chetock (3B), Stephen Hernon (C) and Chris Ramsey (OF).

Sports briefs our lineup in the first game could be totally different a few games later. “What I have told the girls is that they will be expected to know two or three positions. So they all better pay close attention in practices and scrimmages because they could be switching positions in the next game or the next inning.” Darby finished fourth at 7-7 in the OCC-Central Division last season, behind champion Upper Arlington (12-2), Central Crossing (11-3) and Hilliard Davidson (10-4). Thomas Worthington (6-8), Dublin Coffman (4-10), and Westland and Worthington Kilbourne (both 3-11) rounded out the standings. “Our goal is to get better daily and roll with the changes,” McClincy said. “Our league will be very strong again. Davidson has almost everyone back, Central Crossing returns a dominating pitcher and UA’s program is so strong that they just keep replacing top-notch players with more top-notch players. The good news is that the awesome competition in our league prepares us well for the district tournament.”

“We had a pretty successful summer and some of our younger guys have stepped up,” Drakulich said. “We’ve got a pretty solid defense and I think we’ve come to realize it’s going to take a team effort to win a championship.” The Panthers will be looking for a better start after opening last season 3-8. They went on to win eight of the next 11 games before finishing with four consecutive losses, including an 11-1 setback to Davidson. Darby was 4-9 in non-league play. “I like how our guys work right now,” Fugitt said. “We’ve got more of the little things to learn and we’ll continue to do that.”

Continued from page C1 “One area we need to get better at is with our pitchers throwing strikes. Last season, this was one of our strengths. We have made some mechanical changes to a few of our pitchers and it is just taking some time for them to adjust, but I feel comfortable that they will and we will be fine.” Junior Spencer Gates will be the starter at catcher with juniors Tyler Armstrong, Conor Driscoll and Matt Reynolds competing for playing time at second base. Junior Zak Lucente will play left field with junior Dalton

season after going 6-2 with a 2.07 ERA in 54 1/3 innings. Other starters back include juniors Erin Banaag (2B) and Mikaela Smith (C), as well as sophomore Christina Hammons (3B). Banaag (.341 with 24 runs) and Smith (.301, 27 RBI and 5 doubles) both were honorable mention all-league. Hammons may play some outfield, with sophomore Caron Watkinson seeing time at third base. Freshman Abi Groseclose is likely to play shortstop and may also catch. Sophomore Paige Wiley is vying for time in right field. “We played strong defense last year and I know we’ll be strong again on defense,” Moody said. “I think we can attack on offense. We’ve got good team speed, run bases well and we have seven girls who hit left-handed. We’ve got four girls who have potential to hit for power and two others who are solid hitters, not slap-hitters.” Finishing behind Bradley in the league standings last season were Mount Vernon (113), Delaware (9-5), Big Walnut (6-8), New Albany (6-8), Olentangy Orange (6-8), Watkins Memorial (4-10) and Franklin Heights (1-13). “Orange has a strong pitcher back and Delaware has a nice young pitcher,” Moody said. “New Albany has almost every-

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 the donor site. The burned skin is removed and the injured area is resurfaced with the skin graft. It may be 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 RICHARD joints. In many cases, rehabilitaKIRSCHNER tion 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.

Honoring the men and women who dedicate their time, have a passion for helping others and a charitable spirit that makes the Memorial Tournament better for the players,

Get up to $500 off FirstMerit Mortgage fees and up to $200 in Mortgage Rewards** when qualifying products are opened. *All loans subject to credit approval. For example, a $95,000 3/1 ARM home purchase loan with 30-year amortization would have an interest rate of 3.50% for first 3 years of the loan. The 4th year interest rate would be 3.25% based on current 1-Year Constant-Maturity Treasury (CMT) Securities index of 0.27% and rate margin of 3.00%, and would be adjusted annually thereafter. With minimum $5,000.00 downpayment and standard closing costs of $1,765.65 payments would be $426.60 for 36 months and $414.52 for remaining 324 months. Payments shown do not include amounts for taxes and insurance. Actual payment obligation may be greater. The annual percentage rate (APR) on the loan would be 3.46% and is cost of credit over the term of the loan expressed as an annual rate. APR is subject to increase after loan closing. Interest rate, index and margin are those currently in effect. APR does not take into account additional loan specific finance charges or discount points you may be required to pay. Your final APR may also be adjusted based on factors including but not limited to, loan amount, state of property location, loan type, occupancy type, property type, property loan-to-value ratio and your credit score. APR and Payments are calculated with 0.25% reduction in interest rate and margin for payments made with automatic funds transfer (AFT) from a FirstMerit account. APR and Payments will be higher without AFT. **Mortgage Rewards: Some restrictions apply. New refinance customers will receive $100 off mortgage fees. Limit one gift card up to $200 per mortgage and household for opening additional products and services. Rewards available only for new account types in that household (e.g., reward not available for new checking account if household has existing checking account, etc.). For loans, reward not available on refinance of existing FirstMerit loan. If customer has existing checking, savings, loan, credit card, and bill pay, they will receive $50 for customer loyalty. This limited offer is not transferable. Gift card is not redeemable for cash, not FDIC insured, and is subject to 1099 reporting at year-end. Not responsible for lost or stolen gift cards. Allow 8-10 weeks for delivery of gift card. See gift card terms and conditions for more details. Qualifying services must be set up within 45 days of mortgage account opening. Member FDIC.
