SWCS and OAPSE still negotiating By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The South-Western City Schools’ classified workers continue to work without a contract. Negotiators for the district and Ohio Association of Public School Employees Local 211 met with a federal mediator for nearly six hours on April 11.
Superintendent Bill Wise characterized the most recent talks as productive. “We had productive conversation,” he said prior to the April 11 school board meeting. “The key issues are primarily financial at this point. We’re hopeful as we continue to have dialogue on these key issues” an agreement will be reached.
No further talks have been scheduled, he said. About 950 bus drivers, food service workers and other staff members are represented by OAPSE. Their last contract with the district expired June 30. No one spoke during the public participation segment of the April 11 board meeting. OAPSE leaders said earlier they want a fair and equitable contract
for their members. Last month, the South-Western Education Association, which represents about 1,400 teachers and other certified staff, agreed to a new three-year contract retroactive to July 1. That agreement provides for no basepay increases this school year, a 0.5percent increase for 2011-12 and a 1percent raise the following year. Teach-
Police CHECKING FOR SAFETY chief will be named soon

Stage says Schonhardt finished job for Grove City By PAUL COMSTOCK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Grove City’s next police chief is expected to be named in about a week, safety director Mike Wasylik said. The choice of the police chief is a mayoral appointment and does not require approval from city council. Former chief Joe Wise retired March 25. Steve Robinette, the department’s only captain, was named the interim police chief pending the results of a competitive civil service examination administered two weeks ago. Results of the examination were received last week. “I’ll be reviewing the scores with (Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage),” Wasylik said Friday, April 8. Robinette and the department’s two lieutenants. Jeff Pearson and Jeff Lawless, were invited to take the civil service examination, Grove City spokesman Don Walters said. Those who passed the examination were considered for the position of chief and were being scheduled for interviews this week, Wasylik said. “At the very earliest (the announcement) won’t be until late this week,” he said. “It’s just a matter of trying to coordinate schedules (for interviews).” The same protocol was followed when Wise was selected to succeed Dennis L. Deskins, who retired in 2007. Wise was serving as interim chief at the time, and Robinette and Lawless were the two other finalists for the position. Robinette joined the police department in September 1984. He was promoted to lieutenant in April 2004 and was still at that rank in 2007. Lawless was hired in January 1988 and was promoted to lieutenant in April 2000. He is in charge of support serv-
ers and others also will contribute more toward health-care coverage. Last summer, about 85 unionized administrators reached a one-year agreement with the district. That contract provides for no base-pay raises and also increases what administrators contribute to health coverage.
Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage on April 11 announced that Donald J. Schonhardt & Associates Inc. completed all of the work it contracted to do with the city in 2006 and 2007. Stage on March 25 said he did not know if the work was completed. In his April 11 announcement, Stage said, “I met with Mr. Schonhardt and one of his associates to review the engagement letter, I apologize for contract and reany misunderstanding sulting work. It is clear that Donthis matter may have ald J. Schoncreated. hardt & Associates Inc. delivRICHARD “IKE” STAGE ered exactly —Mayor what their contract specified. We appreciate the services provided by Donald J. Schonhardt & Associates Inc. and I apologize for any misunderstanding this matter may have created. “On a matter of this importance I wanted to be certain that the professional services provided by the firm and other contractors during the period covered by the Internal Revenue Service notice were, in each case, completed,” Stage said. At the center of the issue was a $2,792 discrepancy in a city account in 2006. Donald J. Schonhardt told The Record his company was not hired to look at that account. Last month, Stage said it was. Schonhardt said his company provided two services to Grove City. The first was to interview finance department personnel regarding the accounting and payroll functions as they operated at that time.

City rec department starts online sign-ups Continued from page A1 To register online or browse program offerings, residents should visit www.grovecityohio.gov and click “Parks Online Registration.” In order to use online registration, patrons must first create an online ID. The parks and recreation department might need up to two business days to confirm online
ID requests. Participants may register for an online ID and sign up for a program in the same sitting only if they register for the ID by telephone during business hours. In addition, patrons can now submit their payment online. The website accepts VISA or Mastercard, Walters said. “We think the new online system will benefit our technologyoriented residents and increase
the efficiency of signing up for both the residents and the city,” Walters said. New spring and summer parks and recreation programs will include adult sand volleyball and yoga in the park, worm composting and memory board creation for children ages 5-10, and a Hawaiian luau party scheduled for May 20 at the Evans Center.
STAGE Continued from page A1 “All we were asked to do was come in, talk to people in the finance department and document the procedures as they existed ... (and) write down what they told us,” Schonhardt said. He said his company also was asked to look at an investment account and found that gains and losses were not being recorded properly. His company was not asked to reconcile the errors, he said. “I’m tired of any implication my firm didn’t do what it was hired to do,” Schonhardt said April 8. On March 29, he said his office had all documentation to prove it did all it was asked to do.
He also said Stage was “looking for a scapegoat (and) looking for problems elsewhere, when there are none.” The Internal Revenue Service notice mentioned in Stage’s announcement was issued to the city in December. It said the city owed about $685,905 in unpaid payroll withholding taxes, dating to 1999. Later, other missed payments were found. The city paid $752,179 of its debt in February. Since then, city officials determined that $235,311 in city funds is unaccounted for, and the missing money is the focus of the police investigation into the city’s tax debt.
SWCS Continued from page A1 Qualifying teachers and administrators will still receive step increases, based largely on education and length of employment. Both Wise and treasurer Hugh Garside said before the April 11 board meeting they think the district made enough preparations to withstand cuts in state aid in Gov. John Kasich’s proposed two-year state budget. That budget is expected to undergo revisions in the state legislature. A budget must be approved by July 1. Garside said district officials projected about a $9-million loss in state aid in next year’s budget, as well as the end of about $6.4-million in one-time feder-
al stimulus money. He said he doesn’t see anything in the new budget, as currently proposed, that would add to that $15.4-million in cutbacks. Garside and Wise both said they expect some changes to be made to the proposed budget. “I anticipate the budget will go through multiple revisions before a final piece of legislation is approved,” Wise said. “We’re confident we made the necessary adjustments” in next year’s budget. The board also: • Approved paying $256,000 to DataTalk Telecom Inc. to update phone systems in 20 of the district’s schools. • Approved a new facilities use agreement with the city of Grove
City. The one-year agreement allows the city to use baseball diamonds this summer at two elementary schools and one middle school for youth baseball. Another elementary school and middle school also could be used, if needed. Garside said after the meeting the youth baseball league maintains the fields during the summer and that the district doesn’t charge any fee for use of the fields. • Authorized Garside to refinance $3.5-million in bonds if he can find a lower interest rate. Those bonds currently have an interest rate of 4.94 percent. The district is hoping to refinance the bonds to lower interest payments by at least $100,000.

Second Impero coffee shop opens in Grove City By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers
One man’s interest in the tiny aromatic coffee bean has grown into three central Ohio cafes, including a brand new shop in Grove City. Grove City resident Matthew Sontag started brewing his own cups of coffee at home about 10 years ago. “I’ve been drinking coffee since I was really young and I’ve always loved it,� Sontag said. Five years ago, he delved deeper into the world of gourmet coffee brewing as a mechanic for commercial brewing and grinding equipment. Then in 2008, he opened the Crema Cafe at 6009 Hoover Road. Sontag’s dreams of roasting and brewing the perfect cup of coffee didn’t end when Crema closed. Sontag’s wife, Lucinda, and business partner, Tom

As of March 18, a second Impero opened in Grove City at Interstate 270 and Broadway. “It’s kind of a modern, classy, upscale coffee shop,� Sontag said. The shop also sells baked goods and deli sandwiches and has a drive-through window. What really sets Impero apart
from other cafes is the freshness of the beans, Sontag said. “Our coffee is roasted fresh,� he said. “Coffee only really tastes fresh for two to three weeks. A good, fresh cup of coffee is hard to find around Columbus. We roast it fresh and serve it each day.� The shop offers a variety of roasts and unusual brewing methods. “We brew pots of coffee, but we also do coffee by the cup,� Sontag said. “We’ve got some fun little single-cup makers.� In addition, the store’s “highly trained baristas� make espresso drinks and lattes with a foam that’s more like whipped cream than the bubbly foam found at a chain coffee store, Sontag said.

State budget Lack of fix should be foresight led bipartisan, to financial not ideological ‘surprise’
As it were
Foos lobbied for capital to be named Columbus It was a time when numbers of people in central Ohio seemed to be larger than life and among those early settlers, Joseph Foos was — in more ways than one — a bit larger than most. He was part of the restless generation that grew up during and shortly after the American RevED olution and LENTZ eventually began to move over the mountains into the Ohio Country. Born in 1767 in Chester County, Pa., Foos moved with his family first to Tennessee and then to Kentucky. By the time he was 30, he had become a strong and experienced frontiersman, but he was a man still looking for a place to call his own. Having just married young Lydia Nelson, he heard in 1797 that an acquaintance named Lucas Sullivant was establishing a town at the forks of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers in the Northwest Territory. Deciding to seek his fortune in Ohio, Joseph Foos arrived in frontier Franklinton in 1798 with
his wife and infant son, Nelson. There were not many people in the village. The few who had arrived in the fall of 1797 saw their homes and possessions inundated in a flood in March 1798. The whole town had relocated itself to higher ground to the west of the river and it was here that Foos built his own cabin. To make a living for his family, he soon opened a tavern and inn at his home and later operated the first ferry across the Scioto to
the Refugee Tract east of the river. The tract had been set aside for refugees from Canada and was virtually unoccupied. Joseph Foos had not had much formal education, but that lack was remedied when an itinerant Irish schoolmaster arrived in town looking for work and a place to stay. Having no money, the schoolmaster provided Foos with lessons in return for room See AS IT WERE, page A5

Gov. John Kasich’s proposed budget is not a plan to balance Ohio’s budget, but a means to pursue his narrow, ideological agenda. He is seeking to capitalize on Ohio’s budget crisis to eliminate workers’ rights, outsource core government services and balance the budget on the backs of local governments. His patronizing charge to local officials to make difficult choices and to be leaders is misdirected and reflects an underappreciation of the value cities, villages and townships bring ANDREW to the state. GINTHER Two years ago, Columbus faced declining revenue and increased costs, compounded by two recessions within 10 years, the latter being the worst since the Great Depression. Funding for critical social services had been slashed and many city services were discontinued. Recreation centers were closed and entire city departments eliminated. Many city jobs had already been cut, but more workers were let go. Those who remained were asked to make sacrifices; wages were frozen and workers were furloughed. Income-tax revenues continued to decline, state funding continued to shrink and investment earnings evaporated. The city’s budget was structurally unbalanced. Columbus leaders coalesced around a strategy to bring Columbus’ budget back into balance. City workers, including organized labor, agreed to contribute more to cover costs of their insurance and pensions. Elected leaders promised reforms that would further streamline local government and committed to reporting progress to an accountability committee of community members, business leaders and financial experts. The city also committed to stepping up economic development efforts to attract new businesses while making it easier for those already here to expand and create new jobs. And Columbus leaders, Republicans and Democrats alike, asked taxpayers to pay more for services. Columbus voters obliged, choosing to invest in their community rather than see services cut further and their quality of life diminished. Columbus workers continue to make concessions, and the city has implemented changes that will save taxpayers at least $135 million through 2019. The mayor and council have made an unprecedented investment in regional economic development efforts through Columbus2020!, a See BIPARTISAN, page A5

Columbus City Hall is scrambling to makeup a $5 million reduction to the Local Government Fund (LGF) in 2011. City Hall also will be faced with an additional $15 million reduction to this fund in 2012 and another $20 million cut in 2013. LGF money comes from Ohio taxpayers to help pay for safety services in our own city. I don’t have time to get into the moral question of this odd arrangement, but I do wish to comment on the shocking surprise it has brought to our electMATTHEW ed officials at City Hall. It should have come as no sur- FERRIS prise at all. With an estimated state budget deficit of $8 billion to $10 billion, city officials throughout Ohio knew that big cuts were coming. However, Columbus City Hall failed to foresee these cuts and take adequate budgeting steps to prepare for them. For example, while City Hall claims to have set aside $3 million for anticipated reductions in state aid, it actually projected an increase of $1,319,000 ($39,931,000 in 2010; $41,250,000 in 2011) in expected state funding to the Local Government Fund. How are we supposed to take our elected officials at their word when their actions do not match? If City Hall truly believed big cuts were coming, as they should, then why did they project increased aid to the LGF? In 2009, City Hall scared and shamed Columbus voters into a 25-percent tax increase (2 percent to 2.5 percent; yes, this is a 25-percent increase in the city’s tax rate). As a result, City Hall was able to increase our city’s budget by approximately $50 million between 2010 (approximately $655 million) and 2011 (approximately $705 million). If you consider that the LGF will be reduced by $40 million over three years, then it is easy to see that City Hall would have had more than enough money to offset LGF cuts, if they had hold 2011 spending to 2010 levels. It was irresponsible for City Hall to propose $50 million in new spending when $40 million in state aid was in question. If City Hall is unable to streamline our budget by prioritizing spending, then it should be no surprise what could be in our very near future: another tax increase. Recent mass business exodus is another new surprise for City Hall. With the recently announced departure of Bob Evans (350 jobs lost), and Alcatel-Lucent (600 jobs lost) from Columbus, it will be even more difficult for City Hall to get its act together, as tax revenues will be impacted.

was elected to the state senate and would serve — with an occasional interruption — until 1828. As a member of the Ohio General Assembly, Foos lobbied hard to have central Ohio become the site of a relocated state capital. After the “High Banks opposite Franklinton� was selected as the place for a new capital city, Foos was appalled to learn that a number of people thought the new town should be named Ohio City. He disagreed. A great admirer of Christopher Columbus, Joseph Foos believed the town should be named for the explorer. After using the tried-and-true method of persuasion accompanied by liberal amounts of strong drink, Foos convinced a majority of the
assembly to name the town Columbus. During the War of 1812, Foos raised a militia company. He quickly rose from a captaincy to the rank of brigadier general of volunteers. Perhaps one of the reasons he moved up in rank so quickly was his ability to give stirring speeches to his troops, albeit a bit different than the ones we might hear today. Arriving at Camp Barr on the Sandusky Plains, he addressed his men, in part, as follows: “This cruel and relentless foe, instigated by the enemies of liberty, would gladly imbue their hands in the blood of your wives, your mothers, your sisters, your children and traffic their scalps for British trinkets. These con-
siderations induced me, under the direction of His Excellency, the governor of the state, to collect and march you to this place.� Foos went on to say the armies of the United States “were rolling on, like an impetuous torrent, toward the Canadas,� and that “the sons of liberty will subdue that land of despotism and knock off the manacles of her slaves.� Arriving back from the war in 1816, Joseph Foos took up his seat in the Ohio Senate and returned as well to the operation of his tavern and ferry. The proprietors of Columbus were thankful to Foos for his help and gave him a lot in downtown Columbus. Foos accepted the lot but See AS IT WERE, page A6
BIPARTISAN to reduce costs, including the elimination of collective bargaining through the passage of Senate Bill 5. However, the new law will not have any meaningful impact on the proposed budget, as it cannot be applied retroactively. Contracts in place must be honored. Eliminating prevailing-wage requirements impacts capital projects, not the operating budget. In reality, this is simply a way for the governor to weaken labor unions while reclaiming local tax dollars. Police officers, firefighters and school teachers are not our enemies and we cannot allow the governor to use them as scapegoats in his pursuit of a reckless agenda that will not balance the state budget. Republicans and Democrats who have served as township trustees, school board members, council members or as mayors have for decades made difficult choices while leading their communities through challenging economic times. I call on Gov. Kasich to start making difficult decisions, to be a leader and stop passing the buck.

public-private partnership that includes leaders from the Columbus Partnership, Columbus Chamber of Commerce, CompeteColumbus, TechColumbus, MODE, MORPC, Franklin County, The Ohio State University, Columbus Foundation and Battelle. Unemployment is down, tax receipts have improved and there are signs of growth in the local economy. Gov. Kasich’s proposed budget will further slash local government funding. Reducing the portion of state tax revenues committed to local governments breaks a promise made in 1935, when the Local Government Fund was established. Its purpose was to replace cuts in funding received through property taxes with a portion of the state sales tax. Now, state leaders who have reduced their commitment to local governments by 20 percent over the last decade are further shirking their responsibilities by proposing additional cuts of 25 percent in 2011 and 50 percent in 2012. Gov. Kasich rationalizes these cuts by pro- Andrew Ginther is president of Columbus City viding “tools� that will allow local governments Council.
FINANCIAL Continued from page A4 of neglect and hostility toward Columbus businesses on the part of City Hall have finally taken their toll. There is little to no trust between businesses and our local elected officials. Instead of businesses and jobs heading for the door, why don’t we show our officials at City Hall the door?
It is clear to see that our city leadership has let us down yet again. City Hall’s lack of foresight and failure to properly prioritize spending over the years have left Columbus vulnerable to state budget cuts, tax increases and seemingly endless job losses. We didn’t get into this mess overnight, and we won’t get out of it in short order. However, we will not achieve
any meaningful improvements in our city until we identify and address some serious obstacles. The only way to get Columbus back on the right track is to make fundamental changes at City Hall. By now, that should come as a surprise to no one. Matthew Ferris is a candidate for a seat on Columbus City Council.

AS IT WERE Continued from page A5 preferred to remain among his friends and acquaintances in Franklinton. Lydia Nelson Foos had died in 1809, leaving the general with five children. In 1812, Foos had married Margaret Phifer of London in Madison County and six more children would be born to that marriage. In 1816, Foos was defeated in a campaign for Congress and moved to Madison County and “took up farming.” He continued to serve in the Ohio Senate and in 1825 was appointed major general of the Ohio militia. In the 1820s, the success of the Erie Canal in New York prompted great interest in the construction of canals in Ohio. Foos supported the building of canals in Ohio but he had other ideas, as well. He introduced a resolution in the Ohio Senate “to apply to the court at Madrid for the privilege of examining the ground and opening a canal for the passage of vessels from the Spanish Main across the continent to Lake Nicaragua, or such other point in that quarter that may be found most practicable.” He then published a pamphlet explaining his proposal in greater detail. The idea was ridiculed by many as being totally impractical and it came to be called “Foos’s Folly.” But to the end of his life, Joseph Foos held to his view that a canal across Central America could and would eventually be built. And, of course, he was right. Joseph Foos died in 1832. He had lived long enough to see Columbus grow from a small village in the forest to become a thriving town of several thousand people. The canal had arrived and in the year of his death, the National Road

Getting the right consistency of milk allows you to do the latte art.” Sontag and his partners chose Grove City for Impero’s second location because they live in town. “We live in Grove City and our kids go to school down here,” he said. “We’ve owned the Crema Cafe, and we just like the area and like the people.” So far. the new Impero, 3041 Turnberry Court, is doing well, Sontag said. Impero opens at 6 a.m. on weekdays and at 8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. “We have a drive-through, so it’s nice and easy to get through on your way to work,” he said. The store closes at 7 p.m. on weekdays and at 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Turkish delights abound in Dublin strip mall MENU
Situated in present-day Turkey, the historic city of Ephesus was a major urban center, even during the high times of the ancient Greeks and the Roman Empire. Situated in a strip mall in Dublin, Cafe Ephesus brings to our area those potent traditions of lusty Turkish cooking at unbeatable values (big portions, great food and right-on prices). Cafe Ephesus adds to its cost-effective attractions by subtracting the adult beverage part from your bill: It doesn’t sell booze. And while the place isn’t fancy, it’s far from a drag to eat in its modern and pleasant facilities. In your ears will be rousing Turkish tunes and on the walls are a few framed, postcard-worthy photographs of watery scenes near the famous city. There are also a couple of colorful, hanging Turkish rugs, some pretty blue tiles along the back wall and a paneled, festive painting of a laid-out banquet positioned above the little semi-open kitchen.
Cafe Ephesus 6720 Perimeter Loop Road, Dublin 614-798-8091 Web: cafeephesus.com Cuisine: Greek & Mediterranean Price: $$ ($10-$20 per person) Patio: No Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. MondaySaturday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday
by G.A. Benton Of course, it’s what’s on the dishes that counts, and that’s the most impressive aspect of Cafe Ephesus. A great way to begin exploring some of its bold Turkish flavors is with the Combination Plate of dips and salad-cold appetizers ($14, easily serves three). Arrayed like a dartboard, that killer veggie-heavy platter hit the bulls-eye of authenticity with Kisir, similar to tabbouli but more complex and crunchy, with nuts and a much higher bulgur-toparsley ratio; Ezme, like a fiery Turkish salsa; Haydari , a rich and thick yogurt dip brightened by dill and mint; Dolmasi, vegetarian grape leaves stuffed with cinnamon rice, pine nuts and currants; Barbunya Pilaki, a neat pinto bean, onion, potato and tomato salad; Soslu

Seekers of more aromatic food might pick the sausagey Adana kebabs ($12), also available in a nifty chicken version. Not into kebabs tonight? No problem, Ephesus has you covered with a seafood dish like an unusual, rich and terrific Tilapia ($13), baked with mushrooms, peppers, onions and plenty of cheese and sided with one of Ephesus’ great salads. But there are also other terrestrial triumphs, like wonderful cabbage rolls (Lahana Dolmasi, $12). Desserts lived up to Ephesus’ fantastic savory fare.

Bakery gets cooking inside Chinese restaurant in Clintonville Ying’s Tea House & Yum-Yum has a sweet new partner. Ying Liu, owner of the Clintonville restaurant, and baker Elena Birukow have formed Yum-Yum Bakery, which now occupies a portion of the space at 4312 N. High St. Birukow’s creations run the gamut — from savory to sweet and touching all styles. Pastry cases are lined with cannoli, napoleons, Russian-style stuffed
buns, freshb a k e d breads, cinnamon r o l l s , muffins and other baked goods. Unconventional flavors are in order for doughnuts and cupcakes, she said. “I have many ideas,” she said. She is particularly known for her elaborate wedding cakes.
Birukow also takes special orders for desserts that are not part of the daily lineup. “Everything a bakery can do, I can do,” said the Moscow native. To make things convenient for the early-morning crowd, the bakery opens at 7 a.m. every day. Liu, for her part, said she is bent on improving the coffee drinks and tea options. She soon will start importing loose-leaf teas from China. Birukow and Liu met through a mutual friend. Liu said she originally intended to open a dessert shop three years ago but it morphed into a full-service Chinese restaurant. Originally, she sublet half the space from a maker of Middle Eastern pita. She took over the entire 3,600-square-foot space about a year ago after the former occupant closed. The bakery and restaurant are open daily. For more information, call 614-262-7587.

It’s a big change for the 2,100square-foot space, known for its cafeteria-like austerity as well as duck and barbecued pork hanging on hooks behind the counter.

It’s safe to say Roger Gentile likes wine a lot. And he wants others to enjoy it as much. “I try to make wine relatable to people,” said the owner of Gentile’s, the Wine Sellers. “Wine should be fun.” Gentile, who’s spent more than 40 years in the business, is the new Wine Wisdom columnist for Food & Wine. He replaces sommelier Chris Dillman. The author of two books — “The Basics of Wine” and “Discovering Ohio Wine” — has spent most of his adult life selling wine and educating people about the subject. For a short time, he was a TV personality — the Wine Wizard — on PM Magazine and later did restaurant reviews for the show. The shop, 1565 King Ave. in the Grandview Heights area, was founded by his father in 1954. Shortly after graduating from Ohio State University, Gentile began working at the store fulltime.

Ohio Library Council executive director sees rest of state government just now catching up By KEVIN PARKS
‘Libraries are constantly changing’
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When officials from state-funded departments, agencies, boards, etc. get together these days to commiserate with one another about looming budget cuts, public library representatives can say, “I’ve felt your pain.� While library funding is only to be cut a modest 5 percent in Gov. John Kasich’s proposed biennial budget, the executive director of the Ohio Library Council hastens to point that comes on top of a 23-percent reduction in state funding since 2008 and a 30-percent cut over the past five years. “Everybody’s catching up with libraries now,� Douglas S. Evans said last week. Operating out offices off Schrock Road in the Northland area, the Ohio Library Council “is the statewide professional association which represents the interests of Ohio’s public libraries as well as their trustees, Friends and staffs,� according to the nonprofit’s website. Of the state’s 251 public libraries, 238 are members of the council, Evans said. The council’s annual operating budget is $1.2 million. “We run a pretty lean operation, but it’s not inexpensive to be an advocate with state gov-
Someone with no computer at home and not much more knowledge of how to use one is advised to apply for this or that form of state assistance. But the only way they can do that is ‌ online. Where are they going to go? They’re going to head to the nearest library, and they’re going to find help there, according to Ohio Library Council executive director Douglas S. Evans. Once upon a time a “museum for books,â€? libraries have become much more, Evans said, and are on their way to becoming even more in response to social needs not being met by other public institutions. Evans cited examples around the state, many of them reflected by the Columbus Metropolitan Library, of the addition of homework and job help centers, tutoring programs, Internet access ernment,â€? said Evans, who has been executive director for just under nine years. The council has 11 employees and represents the interests of only public libraries in Ohio, not school and academic ones as is typical in other states, according to Evans. Some organization in one form or another has represented public libraries in the Buckeye State back into the 19th century, he said. Up until the 1930s or ’40s, three different organizations
and even ongoing assistance with starting a business. In Cleveland, library personnel help patrons handle the paperwork needed to obtain a passport. Increasingly, Evans said, public libraries are providing the conduit between the public and the government. “Libraries have become an extension of government/social services,� he said. For library officials, it’s a case of: If not us, who? “It really has become that situation,� Evans said. “The libraries have really assumed that role, regardless of whether anyone wants them to.� Library services, he said, are driven by community need and, increasingly, technology. Therefore, library services are continually evolving. “That need is constantly changing,� Evans said, “so libraries are constantly changing.� — Kevin Parks
looked after different aspects of library operations: the Ohio Library Trustees Association, Ohio Library Association and Ohio Friends of the Library Association. These eventually combined, although not entirely for some decades, Evans said. Up until the late 1990s, what had been three separate organizations continued to maintain separate boards of directors. The missions of those three entities included professional train-

ing as well as advocacy to maintain financial support for public libraries. “The end result is to serve the public libraries which ultimately serve the public,� Evans said. Library funding has undergone some major changes since 1985, according to Evans, up to and including the proposed 30percent drop in state support Gov. Ted Strickland called for at 4 p.m. June 19, 2009 — obviously a memorable moment in his tenure.
Up until 1985, public libraries received funding based on a percentage of the intangibles tax, the amount of investments held by residents of a given county, Evans said. This resulted in some stark inequities in funding between one part of the state and another, he noted. In 1985, that formula was replaced with the Library and Local Government Support fund, which came out of the state income tax. It was about the same amount of money as before, but included a system for equalization between the have and havenot sections of Ohio. Things went along pretty smoothly, and in fact Ohio was one of the models library officials in other states looked up to in terms of state funding support, up until that fateful afternoon in June 2009, according to Evans. The ax didn’t end up cutting quite as deeply as initially proposed by Strickland, and the Ohio Library Council executive director credited the vocal opposition of library officials, trustees, patrons and Friends organizations for that. “It was a tremendous effort on behalf of the libraries themselves to gear up their communities in response to the governor’s proposal,� Evans said. “It was tremendously overwhelming to see the public’s response to the

governor’s proposal. “We did not go out to the public and tell them what to say. We put the word out. The word that came back to the Legislature, to the governor, was the public’s own word: They valued the public libraries.� In the majority other states, libraries are supported almost entirely by local funding, and access to them is limited to those who pay, according to Evans. The city or county owns and runs the libraries. In Ohio, state money supports libraries, which are controlled by local boards answerable to their patrons, he said. This distinction, Evans said, was brought home to him when, two weeks after becoming executive director of the Ohio Library Council, he attended a national conference. “So you’re the one who got the plum job in Ohio,� counterpart after counterpart commented to him, Evans recalled. State funding “has created a level of library service statewide that is unmatched throughout the country,� Evans said. “Needless to say, we’re very proud of that,� he added. “It is still by far the best in the country.�

Track & Field
Area teams set for Best of South-West By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers Grove City High School’s Nick Kowaleski is enjoying a pretty nice senior year. “I’ve got no complaints,” he said. Kowaleski played varsity football for the first time last fall and saw action as a defensive back while also contributing on special teams. He went on to earn first-team all-OCC-Ohio-Division honors as a wrestler this winter. Having already signed a letter of in-
tent to compete in track and field at Valparaiso in Indiana, Kowaleski has limited athletics goals remaining before graduation. At the top of that short list is representing the Greyhounds in the Division I state meet, but he won’t get that opportunity until later this spring. His more immediate future includes the ninth annual Best of the SouthWest Invitational on Friday, April 15, at Central Crossing. “We’ve never won it,” Kowaleski said. “The seniors, especially, we really want that before we leave.”
Among the rivals standing in the way is Central Crossing, which has swept the team titles every year since the event was founded in 2003. Last season, the boys team totaled 73.5 points to defeat Grove City (70.5), Franklin Heights (63) and Westland (46). The girls team (89) also was not as dominant as previous years as the Falcons (76.5), Greyhounds (68.5) and Cougars (19) followed. “When I first took this job, everyone was telling me about the streak; that’s pressure right there,” second-year Comets
coach Glenn Blue said. “It’s obviously a very big deal to everyone involved.” Grove City’s boys team returns much of its scoring from last year’s meet and would seem to be the favorite as long as Kowaleski and junior Ryan Barberi are able to participate as expected. Both are nursing sore hamstrings. Kowaleski won the 100 meters (11.1 seconds) and 200 (23.1) and junior Harve Crabtree prevailed in the 110 high hurdles (17.5) last year. The Greyhounds also got winning efforts from their 400 (45.1) and 800 relays (1:34.9).
Now, Grove City has more depth. Coach Jane Taylor said she has more than 80 boys and girls out this spring, up from 58 a year ago. “That’s certainly going to help us,” she said. “Getting those second-, thirdand fourth-place finishes are huge. Those points really add up.” Central Crossing’s girls team might be more difficult to unseat with several of their champions returning. They include senior Tia Smith, who won last See TRACK, page C4

Comets working hard to improve By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers
As the Central Crossing High School football team goes through its first complete offseason under coach Chris Harr, enthusiasm may never have been higher. “Definitely kids are excited,” said Harr, whose team was 2-8 overall and 1-6 in the OCC-Cen- OCC-Central tral Division last teams keep season. “We have a lot of busy, pg.

Being positive is focus for Central Crossing By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Central Crossing High School baseball coach Scott Todd was hoping a doubleheader sweep last weekend would give his team some momentum as it resumed OCC-Central Division play this week. The Comets defeated Briggs 6-4 and Hilliard Bradley 7-1 at home on April 9. With Jordan Keaton being the lone senior on the team, the Comets — who feature five sophomores and three freshmen — so far have had an up-and-down season. Despite the early struggles, Todd has been impressed with his team’s attitude. “We’ve tried to do a lot of positive reinforcement,” Todd said. “We’ve told the kids that their attitude has been great. They come to practice and they come to every game. They work hard, they’re coachable and they’re doing everything that we’re asking them to do. Right now, it’s just a great group of kids that, win or lose, they’re staying positive. “They realize that with the youth that we have
it’s going to be a process, but we’re going to be OK.” One of those freshmen, Mark Russell, pitched a complete game against Bradley, allowing only two hits. “Mark pitched unbelievably,” Todd said. “He had great composure.” Russell also helped his cause with two hits, and freshman Connor Coup doubled twice. Against Briggs, Coup singled twice and doubled, and Will Bohne doubled, singled and had two RBI. Russell and Seigneur added two hits apiece, and Seigneur got the win on the mound. The sweep helped Central Crossing bounce back from three blowout losses in the OCC-Central. The Comets lost to Dublin Coffman 15-0 in five innings on April 5 and 18-0 in five innings on April 6, and Hilliard Darby 10-0 in six innings on April 8. “Against Coffman, it was an eye-opener for some of our young players, especially seeing By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek how Coffman has four or five kids that are signed with Division I schools,” Todd said. “The sec- Comets outfielder Jordan Keaton makes a running catch against Dublin Coffman.

young kids in the weight room and a lot of kids coming over from the middle school. It’s the most kids I’ve seen coming over this early.” Before Harr was hired last April 22, the Comets didn’t have a structured weight-room program. After last season’s struggles, it wasn’t necessarily the losing record that Harr wanted to change - it was his team’s physical stature. Since the Comets didn’t play in 2009 because of a school-district levy failure, many of the team’s regular players last season were in middle school the last time they played organized football. The Comets’starting quarterback was sophomore Tory Clark. “The experience was a big thing, but also just our overall strength and conditioning,” Harr said. “Last year we had so many injuries week to week. If they would have had a whole offseason in a weight room that might have been different.” Former Ohio State and Dallas Cowboys running back Jamar Martin is in charge of the Comets’ offseason strength and conditioning program. As he handles that, Harr is working to bring two more coaches on staff. The Comets are in need of a freshman team coach and they also are looking to add another offensive coach. Some of the players also go to workout combines, but most dedSee COMETS, page C2

Plenty of questions surround OCC-Central From staff reports Below are capsule looks at OCC-Central Division football teams. To read full offseason stories, including comments from all coaches, for each team as well as all teams throughout central Ohio over the coming weeks, visit the Spring Football Edition of Friday Night Live at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
Dublin Coffman •Coach: Mark Crabtree, 11th season •2010 record: 8-3 overall, 6-1 (second) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: Fifth in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: Followers of central Ohio high school football likely will be watching with curiosity to see what the area’s finest quarterback factory will produce next. Since Mark Crabtree took over as Coffman’s coach in 2001, the list of signal callers the program has generated includes former Notre Dame standout and current Denver Broncos backup Brady Quinn as well as college recruits such as Jack Rafferty (Otterbein) and Zack Stoudt (Mississippi). Senior Cole Stoudt, who started most of the past three seasons, was the latest to sign to play collegiately when he committed to Clemson in February. While Cole Stoudt might have been the most obvious loss for a Coffman team that went 8-3 overall last fall, it isn’t a mystery to Crabtree who will be team’s next quarterback. Coffman will be losing 33 players to graduation. With the quarterback vacancy already appearing to be filled by sophomore James Walsh, finding replacements for some of the other key positions is the Shamrocks’ biggest offseason project.
Hilliard Darby •Coach: John Santagata, third season •2010 record: 8-3 overall, 5-2 (third) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: Sixth in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: This offseason, the Panthers are in the process of trying to find suitable replacements for seven seniors who started in their spread option offense, including quarterback Matt Allen and four linemen, and four seniors who started on defense. While coach John Santagata acknowledges that there are some big holes in the lineup, he said his top priority is replacing the leadership that his 15 seniors provided last season, when the Pan-
thers qualified for the playoffs for the second time in program history. Thirty days after the season ended with a 22-7 loss to Springfield in the first round of the Region 3 playoffs on Nov. 6, the Panthers began lifting weights and working on their conditioning for next season. Santagata said the number of players who show up to those training sessions is sometimes pretty small because so many of his athletes are involved in winter and spring sports, but he doesn’t mind the low turnouts as long as his players are staying physically active. With only 10 juniors in the program, Santagata is asking his sophomore class to help carry the leadership load.
Hilliard Davidson •Coach: Brian White, 13th season •2010 record: 13-1 overall, 7-0 (first) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: Second in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: Wildcats coach Brian White realizes the success of his program relies on a year-round commitment. That commitment has led to Division I state championships in 2006 and ’09, five OCC titles and four regional championships. Last season, the Wildcats went 13-1 and lost to Huber Heights Wayne 28-14 in a state semifinal. Once the mandatory 30-day rest period after each season is complete, White said his players return to the weight room and their focus remains on lifting weights for most of the offseason. Although players must adhere to that 30-day rest period, White said the coaching staff remains busy during that month, attending clinics and contacting collegiate coaches in an attempt to secure scholarships for players. While several programs participate in 7-on-7 drills during the summer, White said his program puts little emphasis on such drills since they stress more of a passing offense. The Wildcats’ offense centers on the ground game. Davidson loses 18 seniors, including four of its five starters on the offensive line. Davidson expects to return two key players in its backfield in running backs Alex Mickley and Tyler Talbott. Mickley led the team with 1,538 yards rushing and 29 touchdowns last season. Key players expected to return on defense include back Chase Delande, linebackers Jake Himmeger and Jack Kincade and linemen Sam Coles and Dylan Skaggs.

It almost has become a rite of passage in recent years for either the Dublin Coffman or Hilliard Davidson high school football teams to still be playing during the third week of November. For the other six teams competing in the current alignment of the OCC-Central Division, the annual talent and success that those two programs have boasted have made for some rough Friday nights. In this installment, we're examining what Davidson and Coffman are doing to stay on top, and what the OCC-Central's other squads are doing to move up in the standings. What can the Wildcats do for an encore after winning state titles in 2006 and ’09 and being a state semifinalist last fall? Their task includes replacing six players from the 2010 graduating class who have committed to Division I colleges. Coffman will have a new quarterback next fall, but for several years the Shamrocks have shown a propensity to churn out players at that position. Can Hilliard Darby keep it going after having a bounce-back year last fall, or will a team that battled the injury bug last year like Upper Arlington or Worthington Kilbourne be able to get back on track? For Central Crossing, Thomas Worthington and Westland, building programs that have struggled in recent years is a task that each is continuing to take on. Next week, we take a look at the teams in the OCC-Cardinal.
Thomas Worthington •Coach: Scott Gordon, fifth season •2010 record: 3-7 overall, 2-5 (sixth) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 20th in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: Under coach Scott Gordon, the Cardinals have adopted one- or twoword slogans that summarize all of the goals for the coming season. In 2011, the team might use the phrase “team speed,” and not just because of the new synthetic turf that will be installed at Dow Nelson Field next month. Nana Kyeremeh, a junior safety who anchored the secondary last season, turned heads when he ran a 40-yard time of 4.3 seconds at the McAllister Scouting Report developmental combine in Powell last month. As a result, he has been attracting interest from Division I college coaches, namely Akron and Toledo. Kyeremeh is one of several players who will lead a new-look offense in 2011.
Last season, junior running back Eric Monfort missed the first six games with a separated shoulder before returning with a 222-yard performance in a 34-27 win over Westland on Oct. 8. The Cardinals won two of their four games with Monfort in the lineup. The biggest question mark this offseason for the Cardinals is at quarterback. Gordon said as many as nine players will compete to replace senior John Chadwell, including Scott Brown,Austin Kaiser and Jeremy Nicklos.
Upper Arlington •Coach: Mike Golden, seventh season •2010 record: 6-4 overall, 4-3 (fourth) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 14th in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: The Golden Bears have missed the Division I playoffs the past two seasons, and that doesn’t sit well with coach Mike Golden. In fact, days after the conclusion of last season, he vowed that the Golden Bears wouldn’t miss the playoffs for a third year in a row, saying, “It’s not going to happen again.” Golden may have softened his stance to a degree on making the playoffs in 2011, but that doesn’t lessen the team’s desire to qualify for the postseason. UA finished 6-4 overall last season and placed 14th in Region 3. The top eight teams made the playoffs. UA is losing 24 seniors, including 16 who started or saw significant playing time last fall. Among the key players expected to return are junior linebacker Eddie Miller and juniors Frank Epitropoulos (WR/DB/P), Ryan McSheffery (RB), Tyler Pfister (LB), Garrett Powers (DB), Jack Trabue (LB) and Francis Wilamosky (LB/FB). Developing linemen is one of UA’s chief priorities this offseason. The Bears are losing four of five starters on the offensive line and four of their top seven players who saw action on the defensive line. Though much of UA’s offseason centers around getting players into the weight room, the Bears will participate in 7-on7 and linemen camps in July as part of the 10 offseason contact days allowed between the coaching staff and players.
•Outlook: Steve White’s first objective as Cougars coach is to make the program more competitive. White, the team’s linebackers coach last season, was promoted in January to replace Brian Smith. Under Smith, the Cougars were 2-28 overall and 0-19 in the OCC-Central in three seasons. With no head coach in place late last year, assistants helped run the conditioning program once the 30-day rest period ended in December. When White was promoted in January, the offseason program intensified. The offseason conditioning program includes weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises and aerobic training. Coaches are allowed 10 days of contact with their players during the offseason. White said his program uses eight of those days for summer camp. The other two are utilized to participate in area 7-on-7 passing leagues. Leading the returning group should be quarterback Korey Browning and linemen Zach Hall, Kyle Maxwell, Junior Reyes and Brady Willis.
Worthington Kilbourne
•Coach: Vince Trombetti, sixth season •2010 record: 4-6 overall, 3-4 (fifth) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 19th in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: When coach Vince Trombetti scans his list of players expected to return for the 2011 season, one of the first things he notices is the overall inexperience. In particular, the Wolves will be spending significant time the next few months filling four holes on both the offensive and defensive lines. The Wolves are losing 25 seniors from a team that began battling injuries as early as last August and finished 4-6 overall, the first losing season since 2006. The only player with significant experience back on the lines will be 6-foot6 two-way lineman Chris Skura, who will be a senior next fall. He was special mention all-OCC last fall. Trombetti, who has been coaching football for more than 30 years, said he has never had a team battle through more injuries than the Wolves did last season. The one positive amid that situation was that players such as junior Brian Miller Westland and sophomore Matt Wylly gained sig•Coach: Steve White, first season nificant experience. •2010 record: 1-9 overall, 0-7 (eighth) Miller enters summer drills as the No. in OCC-Central Division 1 quarterback after completing 11 of 17 •Final 2010 computer ranking: 28th passes for 146 yards with three touchin Division I, Region 3 downs and one interception.

icate their offseason football activity to the weight room. To help motivate the players in the weight room, the Comets have had some alumni spend time with the team. Former defensive lineman Derek Jones, a 2010 graduate who is now at Kent State, has talked to the players about what the weight room is like at the college level. “It’s really just all weight room,” Harr said of the offseason. “A lot of our kids are going to the different combines or what not to test what they can do. Really (the offseason is) just getting your body strong.” Injuries affected Central Crossing at several positions last season, especially quarterback. Senior Jordan Keaton, junior Dylan Simpson and Clark each played quarterback in the first four weeks. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Clark eventually took over full time, passing for 720 yards and five touchdowns. He also ran for 514 yards. Keaton is a major piece for the Comets to replace. In addition to playing quarterback for a game, Keaton was a defensive back, running back and receiver, and he returned three kickoffs for touchdowns. He also was the holder on extra points. Both of Central Crossing’s wins were against other South-Western City Schools teams. The Comets beat Franklin Heights 34-20 and Westland 33-12. The victory over Westland was Central Crossing’s only league win. They finished seventh in the OCC-Central at 1-6, ahead of Westland (0-7). Those two finished behind Hilliard Davidson (7-0), Dublin Coffman (6-1), Hilliard Darby (5-2), Upper Arlington (4-3), Worthington Kilbourne (3-4) and Thomas Worthington (2-5).

Baseball team sparked by better defense, chemistry By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
An improved defense and more chemistry in the dugout are among the factors that have the Ready High School baseball team off to a strong start. The Silver Knights won four of their first five games and posted their first CCL victory since 2008 with a 12-2 six-inning win over visiting Hartley on April 5. “The guys are playing for each other and they’re proud to play for Bishop Ready,” coach Harry Caruso said. “Getting a 12-2 runrule victory over Hartley helped us solidify some things. We’ve always played them tough, but we just haven’t finished against them in the past. This time we scored both of our runs in the sixth inning when there were already two outs. It’s good to see your players do that.” Ready, which advanced to a Division III district semifinal for the seventh time in nine seasons but went just 8-21 a year ago, committed no errors against Hartley. The Silver Knights were charged with six errors over their first five games. Offensively, the leading contributors through five games were senior Jeff Johnson (.583), sophomores Mitch McNabb (.526, 7 RBI) and Sean Mogan (.471, 9 RBI), junior Brian Horn (.467) and senior Bill Marting (.455). Sophomore leadoff hitter Ross Etgen had contributed seven RBI. Freshman Hunter Clanin also has been a welcomed addition. He has seen action at first base, second base and shortstop. Senior Erik Dubiel was 1-0 with a 2.80 ERA in 10 innings to lead the pitching staff through five games. McNabb and juniors Brian Hasenkamp and Alex Kopczyk also have been key pitchers. “Our defense has been outstanding so far,” Caruso said. “We’ve got a junior playing first base and third, a sophomore in the middle of the diamond and a freshman mixed in. Those guys are all batting high in the order, so we’ve got really high hopes as we get deeper into the season and into the future.”
Former Ohio State running back Archie Griffin will be the featured speaker at the annual Lauren’s First and Goal Football Camp on June 26 at Otterbein University. The camp is a fundraiser for Lauren’s First and Goal Foundation, which provides financial support for brain tumor research and families living with pediatric cancer. The one-day camp is open to student-athletes entering grades 9-12 this fall. Athletes will be divided into small groups to receive instruction

•After opening with consecutive wins behind back-to-back no-hit performances from senior pitcher Katie Ardrey, the softball team was outslugged in consecutive losses to Jonathan Alder 98 on April 5 and Upper Arlington 6-4 on April 7. Still, coach Nick Joseph was pleased with his team’s ability to battle back. Against UA, the Silver Knights fell behind 4-0 after two innings and scored three in the top of the third to tie it. Ready rallied to take a 5-3 lead after falling behind 3-0 against Jonathan Alder before a home run in the seventh by the Pioneers’Alex Greene gave her team the victory. “We started out two games in a row down 3-0 and got them both back to even,” Joseph said. “We’re this close.

OHSAA votes down spring football practice Girls soccer expanding to three divisions next season By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The OHSAA sparked emotion in more than one direction April 7 when it denied a proposal from the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association to allow a two-week period of skill instruction in May. According to the official OHSFCA release that has been posted online by several news outlets, including JJHuddle.com, the proposal asked for two weeks of football instruction during the final two weeks of May. The timeframe for the workouts would have been a maximum of 10 hours and would not have exceeded more than two hours per workout. Also as part of the proposal, athletes participating in an OHSAA spring sport would have been required to complete
their season before participating in the football workouts. For spring sport coaches such as A.J. Auld of the Dublin Jerome High School boys lacrosse program, the OHSAA’s unanimous rejection relieves the continuing pressure for prep athletes to specialize. “I encourage my guys to be multisport athletes because it’s good for a number of reasons,” Auld said. “I know the OHSAA promotes all sports and not just football. If they approved this, why would they just allow one sport to be able to do that? Why wouldn’t they allow basketball to do it? I have a good relationship with the football coach at Jerome, and us sharing players has been mutually beneficial. I know I can’t simulate the intensity (during a practice) that one of my players can have going up against one of their rivals on a Friday night, and the same is true in the other direction.” For others such as Brookhaven’s Steve Ayers, the OHSAA’s decision to deny the proposal was “kind of disappointing.” In its official release, the OHSAA cited “concerns over the impact it would have on other spring sports, as well as the requests that would come from
other sports.” The OHSAA indicated, however, that it is examining the possibility of expanding the 10 days of coaching currently permitted over the summer in all team sports. Some of the nation’s most recruited football states, including California, Florida and Texas, are among those that have some format that includes spring football practice. “We really don’t get that many days in the summer,” said Ayers, who is an assistant football coach with the Bearcats and the school’s head coach for wrestling and boys track and field. “Down south they all have spring football, and as a state it kind of puts us behind. It seems like another thing to hold us back. We kind of felt good that they were thinking about it. When coaches collaborate, they can work it out.” Among the reasons the OHSFCA created the proposal was a concern regarding AAU flag football programs and their influence on OHSAA-sponsored football. In addition, it cited a lack of opportunity for Ohio high school football players to display their skills to college coaches during the May recruit-
ing period. “I know a lot of people might be against it, but obviously I’m a football coach and I’m also a football fan,” Dublin Coffman football coach Mark Crabtree said. “Anything that can be done to promote the sport of football I’m in favor of doing. During the last two weeks of May, most of our players are doing absolutely nothing unless they’re competing in a regional tournament in their spring sport, and those are the kinds of athletes that we’d want to be competing at that time. “Football is the one sport that gets the short end of the stick because all of the other sports you can do year-round in some form. We’re limited the most, yet it’s the biggest sport with fans and them being fanatical about it.” •The OHSAA voted 6-3 to approve a proposal from the soccer coaches association to expand the girls soccer state tournament from two divisions to three beginning this fall. Girls soccer surpassed the 501-team benchmark during 2010. Twenty-three teams from the Central District competed in Division II last fall, producing one district champion. Although the OHSAA has not an-
TRACK
nounced breakdowns by division, teams such as Worthington Christian (116 girls) and Wellington (77 girls) likely would be among those that would drop to Division III. Worthington Christian was seeded third for the district tournament and Wellington was seeded eighth last fall. “That gives us a better chance once we get into the tournament,” Worthington Christian athletics director Kevin Weakley said of his team’s likely drop. “The challenge in Division II is that there are a lot bigger schools than us in it like Bexley and Hartley. When we made the jump to Division III with the boys, it helped us significantly.” Another effect of the increase in divisions is that schools such as DeSales and Watterson as well as some Columbus City Schools would drop from Division I to II. DeSales and Watterson have been perennial powers in boys soccer while competing in Division II, but neither school got past the district semifinal round while competing in Division I in girls soccer last fall. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

That is a gauge of how good varsity pitching is going to be and what they’re going to see. “They’ve seen the best already, so hopefully some of the younger kids realize that we are going to be able to compete and we’re going to be OK.” Keaton has been impressed with his teammates’ composure and is looking forward to the remainder of the season. “I love the progress that we’re making,” Keaton said. “We’re a young team, so it kind of helps to get a few wins under our belt and to know that we can compete with some of the bigger teams in the district.” •Grove City went 1-3 during its trip to Knoxville, Tenn.

Financial finesse
Setting and keeping financial goals With the coming of the spring season comes the opportunity to start fresh in all areas of your life — including your finances. As you consider this, it’s important to include financial resolutions on your list. Following are some tips to help you set financial goals and start off on the right foot: Set measurable goals and put them on paper. Instead of making a resolution to simply save more money, set an amount you’d like to save and chart your progress. Writing out your resolutions creates a contract with yourself that will increase your likelihood of success. Have a plan. If you decide to save, break it up into more manageable pieces and write down your plan. Reaching $5,000 means saving roughly $420 per month. Then figure out how you can trim about $100 a week from your expenses (bringing lunch from home, skipping the lattes, etc.). By breaking it up, the big number will seem
reachable. Make it automatic. If creating an emergency fund is your goal, consider having a portion JORDAN of each payMILLER III check automatically deposited into a savings account. Direct deposit makes it less likely you’ll be tempted to use the money for other purposes and both employers and banks make it easy to set up and direct funds into different checking, savings or other accounts. Saving just $25 a week through this disciplined approach will net you $3,900 in three years. Use a system to track your money. Money management software can provide a complete picture of your personal finances; free demo versions of some of the popular money management programs are available online. Additionally, through online banking, many
financial institutions make it easy to download your account information to these programs. Save your receipts. Keep all of your receipts and statements for the year in a folder. Having detailed records of expenditures can help you gain a better understanding of your spending patterns and could lead to greater tax deductions for those who itemize. When you set your financial resolutions and develop your plan, include your entire family in the process. This is a great way to teach children how to manage money and develop good spending habits — a crucial life lesson and one that children should learn at an early age. Teaching children about finances and personal responsibility will help them become successful, independent adults. Jordan Miller is a financial center manager with Fifth Third Bank.
