Parts of East Orange Road to be closed By BONNIE BUTCHER

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Construction will keep portions of East Orange Road closed through August. The road currently is closed from Old State Road to Cross Creek Court. In the second week of June, East Orange Road will close from Old State Road to the Olentangy Orange High School driveway, said Scott Overturf, project manager for the township. The improvements include “asphalt

road work, asphalt bike path work, storm line work, and a roundabout at Roespark. The drainage bridge work should be completed, then the final road work will be completed, which ties the bike path into the township park on the west side of Old State,” Overturf said. The project is on schedule and on budget, he said, “Unless it rains every day, we should be on schedule. We are still in budget as planned,” he said. The project, which extends from Old State Road to Bale Kenyon Drive, began

last year. The overall project includes the widening of about 1.1 miles of roadway with vertical grade corrections, complete pavement overlay, the installation of three roundabouts — at Bale Kenyon Road, Walker Woods Boulevard, Roespark Boulevard — a new bridge structure, and utility and drainage improvements, Overturf said. It is expected to wrap up in August. Improvements on the east side of the project, from Bale Kenyon Drive to near the high school driveway, were

completed in 2010. The cost of the total project is $5,636,447. Delaware County has funded $338,781 of the project. The township will provide $5,297,665, of which $245,000 is a grant for the new leisure path and the rest has come from general fund revenue the township has saved for five years. The Delaware County engineer’s office has said roundabouts have fewer traffic accidents than traditional interSee EAST ORANGE ROAD, page A2

Council OKs sidewalk inspections By BONNIE BUTCHER

secondary areas throughout the city. Those areas are determined by a citywide sidewalk inspection each fall. The inspections will identify sidewalk deficiencies, such as horizontal and vertical cracks or deteriorating concrete, and slate those areas for repair. Driveway skirts also are inspected. Following the inspections, city staffers will recommend repair sites to council. After council approves the sites, the city will notify property owners of the need to repair the sidewalks for which they are responsible. Property owners can repair the sidewalks themselves or through contractors, or they can ask to be part of the city program. If using the city program, property owners pay the city the cost of the work or are assessed the

Delaware County dispatcher Aaron Robbins fields calls in the 911 Communications Center April 11. The county is asking for a renewal of a 0.45-mill operating levy on the May 3 ballot.

County 911

Powell police chief cites need for levy By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Powell police chief Gary Vest said the county 911 center is the only dispatching center in the county, making the 911 levy on the May 3 ballot particularly important. The Delaware County 911- center serves all fire, EMS and law enforcement departments in the county. It is funded mainly by a five-year, 0.45-mill levy that officials are asking voters to renew. The current levy expires Dec. 31. If approved, the new levy would cost property-owners the same as the expiring levy. That levy generates about $2.6-million annually in property taxes, said Shari Baker of the Delaware County auditor’s office. The countywide 911 system has an an-

nual budget of $3.4-million, which includes all expenses, such as technology for the 911 call center and radio system, the code red emergency and weather alert warning systems, and salaries, benefits and training for employees. The department also receives money from the county’s general fund and cellular phone 911 surcharges that the state collects and distributes. “A lot of times we don’t realize how these systems are set up, how they’re funded and what impact it has on local government,” Vest told Powell City Council April 4. Vest said the Powell police department does not have a communication dispatch center. It uses the countywide service. “When we talk about government savings and efficiency of scale, the one thing

about the 911 (center) that is a good example of sharing is that this is done across the county to maintain the system,” Vest said. If Powell funded its own system, it would need at least one radio tower, which costs more than $1-million, Vest said. “These things are very expensive propositions. This 911 system covers police, fire and EMS dispatching services. It serves the backbone of the (Delaware County) sheriff’s office dispatching, as well,” Vest said. The system is state-of-the-art and has eliminated the problem of incompatible radio systems. “When I arrived here 15 years ago, if a Powell police officer, a Delaware County sheriff’s deputy and a highway patrolman See 911 LEVY, page A2

Genoa survey supports fire substation plan By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A recent survey of Genoa Township’s registered voters suggests that if trustees decide to build a fire substation east of Hoover Reservoir, residents would support it. Township trustees heard the results of the survey conducted in March at their April 7 meeting. Saperstein Associates Inc. in-

terviewed 302 registered voters in the township by telephone. Trustees hired the firm to see if township residents “perceive a need for a fire substation located in the eastern portion of the township” and “if the township trustees decided to pursue this project would residents support the decision,” Marty Saperstein said. The survey cost $14,500. Saperstein said most residents are very satisfied with the fire serv-

ice provided by the township. Of those surveyed, 58 percent gave the service a 3.5 on a 4-point scale; 64 percent said the fire service average response time is faster than the national average. Respondents’satisfaction with the services resulted in their having a “casual perception” that a substation was needed, Saperstein said. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed said “no” when asked if an-

other fire station is needed; 14 percent said, “yes”; 31 percent said, “I don’t know.” When asked if they would “support or oppose a decision by township trustees to build a fire substation in the township east of Hoover Reservoir,” 54 percent said they would support it; 27 percent opposed it and 19 percent were not sure.

For its 2011 sidewalk repair program, the city of Powell will inspect sidewalks in the residential developments Powell Place and Liberty Ridge, and in sections of Olentangy Ridge that received road improvements last year. Powell City Council approved the “primary” inspection area for the program at its April 5 meeting. The city also performs “secondary” inspections throughout the city, looking for two-inch or larger gaps between the sidewalk slabs, city manager Steve Lutz said. In the past, sidewalk inspections and repairs occurred where street repairs were performed the preceding year, Lutz said. The city has referred to such areas as “primary” sidewalk inspection areas. In 2009, the city modified its sidewalk repair program to include

Church, volunteers step up to stage Easter egg hunt By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A popular Powell event that was cut from the city’s budget will occur, thanks to the generosity of the Powell United Methodist Church. The Powell Community Easter Eggstravaganza is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, April 16, at the Powell Village Green, 47 Hall St. The event will occur rain or shine. The event will include an Easter egg hunt, inflatable bouncing houses, face painting, cotton candy and popcorn. Lana Turner, director of church children’s ministries, learned the city of Powell canceled the event and talked with the church members about staging it. “When I heard about it I thought, ‘Wow, this is something easy that we can put together and something that the members would just love to welcome the community,’” Turner said. “So we’re all going to be there with our Powell United Methodist T-shirts on, greeting and meeting people in the community, and what better people than families with kids?” Church members filled more than 10,000 plastic eggs, Turner said.

EAST ORANGE ROAD Continued from page A1 sections, and don’t slow the flow of traffic like traditional intersections. “The biggest benefit of modern roundabouts is that they are safer than traditional intersections. Before-and-after studies have shown 76-percent reductions in injuries and 90-percent reductions in fatalities,” said Rob Riley, chief deputy engineer.

REPAIRS

“Single-lane roundabouts, like those on East Orange Road, can carry as much or more traffic than a signalized intersection. They calm traffic because vehicles don’t exceed 20 to 25 miles per hour through most roundabouts,” Riley said. Roundabouts also reduce the starting and stopping noises of vehicles, aren’t affected by power outages like traffic signals are and can be landscaped to fit in with the surrounding area, Riley said.

cost in the property tax bill over a five-year period. The amount assessed will be the actual rate the city was charged for the repairs plus a 5-percent financing cost, documents from the city show. Officials have said they typically can get a better price on a sidewalk improvement project than is available to individual property owners. The repairs will be performed this year, Lutz said. Council also learned the city did not get a $12,000 grant it applied for to remove trees infested by the emerald ash borer.

arrived at a bank robbery, they would literally have to yell at each other as to which way the guy went, or they would have to call each of their dispatchers back and the dispatchers would relay the information,” Vest said. “Today our system is interoperable across the state of Ohio. So if the president of the United States arrives at Port Columbus and comes to Delaware County, every law enforcement agency from the Secret Service, the marshal’s office, the highway patrol, to the sheriff’s office, can all change to one radio frequency and communicate.” Vest said without countywide 911, local governments would have to supply their own services, which would be less efficient. Bob Greenlaw, 911 center director, said he’s concerned that county residents don’t realize their 911 service comes from the county and passage of the levy is essential. Vest chairs the Delaware County 911 board. The committee, which oversees the emergency communications, includes representatives of county fire, law enforcement and public officials.

Greater Powell Area Chamber of Commerce seeking nominations ThisWeek Community Newspapers

If you know a Powell area business person or citizen who goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Greater Powell Area Chamber of Commerce would like to hear from you by April 20. The chamber is seeking nominations for two annual awards: Business Person of the Year and Citizen of the Year. The organization has presented the awards for more than 10 years, said Nancy Buckley of the chamber. The business person award recognizes someone who has “given back to the Powell area community in an exemplary manner, and who contributes time and effort to make the Powell area a better

place to live,” a press release said. The citizen award recognizes an individual who lives, works or volunteers “in the Powell area and has made a unique contribution to the community in a short period of time” — contributing “beyond the normal job expectations and/or beyond the call of duty.” “There are so many talented and community minded individuals who generously give their time to a variety of efforts in the Powell area. The chamber board feels that recognizing these ‘heroes’ is an important part of what we do,” said chamber president Barb Walters. “It is a very exciting time for the Powell Chamber of Commerce as we seek nominations for our annual awards,” said chamber vice president Craig Se-

doris. “We want to invite everyone to submit their nominees. Who has made a significant and unselfish contribution to our community? What business has made an impact or deserves peer recognition for their achievements? The selection won’t be easy. We are proud to be approaching a milestone of 300 members. Our chamber and community is active and vibrant. We invite your engagement and participation.” For more information or to receive a nomination form by email, call the chamber at (614) 888-1090 or request it by e-mail at powellchamber@midohio. twcbc.com. More information about the chamber is available at www.powellchamber.com.

Other area organizations also are volunteering for the event, including the Powell Women’s Club and Cub Scout Pack 248. The event usually draws a few hundred people, said Jeff Robinson, city spokesperson. “The number of participants typically depends on the weather, but I’d say we have a few hundred each year, more if the weather was sunny and warm,” Robinson said. The egg hunt typically cost the parks and recreation department about $500.

“We were able to save some money by recycling the eggs each year,” he said. Robinson said the city hasn’t heard any concern from residents about eliminating the event, but believes that’s because the city announced it was seeking sponsors. “Events such as the Easter egg hunt, Touch-aTruck, Lolli-Pops concerts and (the) bonfire are what make a community a community. These opportunities for neighbors and friends to get their families together are a large part of why people choose to live in Powell,” Robinson said. “We are thrilled that the Powell United Methodist Church stepped up to take over the Easter egg hunt.” For more information, visit www.cityofpowell.us or www.powellumc.org.

Walk in the park

Pedestrian-friendly quality commended

Enjoy vernal pools while they last

To the editor: The design committee of Historic Downtown Powell would like to publicly commend the city of Powell Public Services Department and city council for their work in making downtown Powell more pedestrian-friendly. Under the guidance of the city of Powell parks, recreation, and public services department, we thank the city employees who worked to install two “yield to pedestrians” signs on Olentangy Street. In the past, crossing Olentangy Street has been difficult due to the high volume of traffic that passes through the city center. We feel that these signs go a long way toward protecting the safety of Powell residents and visitors alike along an extremely busy stretch of road. Additionally, the new and improved public parking signs throughout the historic district make it easier for visitors to the downtown to park, walk, shop, and dine in the area. Our design committee and all of Historic Downtown Powell are proud of our downtown area. We are grateful to those who work diligently to make our city center safe, welcoming and attractive! Tom Coffey, chair, and Historic Downtown Powell Design Committee members

OSBA director cites need for levy To the editor: Your school district is asking for your support. As a resident of the Olentangy Local School District, I strongly urge voters to recognize and preserve the quality of public education by supporting the district on the May 3 ballot. Providing a high-quality public education is an enormous task in any community. Unfortunately, the economic challenges facing our district are unique, and perhaps more difficult than in any other district in the state. Despite gaining students at a rate higher than any other Ohio school district, the Olentangy Local School District is losing 44 percent of its state funding in fiscal year 2012, based on Gov. John Kasich’s biennial budget figures. Amplifying our funding crisis is the state’s proposal to accelerate the phaseout of tangible personal property taxes. The budget reduction and tax phase-out combined will cost our community $7.1-million in the next two years alone. Our school board cannot simply offset this loss of state revenue through local budget cuts. Your school board operates our schools at a lower cost per pupil than comparable districts and other central Ohio school districts. The district’s manage-

ment team exercises perhaps the most conservative and prudent budgeting in the state. Before deciding to go on the May ballot, the district reduced current and future expenses by $15.7-million. It has saved taxpayers money by sharing services with the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio and the Worthington and Westerville school districts. Even with successful passage of the May levy, the district is committed to making $4.5-million in additional reductions. Even more impressive than the district’s fiscal philosophy is its long record of achievement. Our administrators, teachers and support staff have teamed up to achieve a 99-percent graduation rate. Our 105.6 performance index rating by the state is envied by many other communities. The collective achievements of our board, administrators, teachers and support staff and students have been recognized by the Ohio Department of Education, resulting in an “excellent” rating seven of the last eight years. In spite of doing so many things right and achieving such outstanding results, the district has been dealt a severe and unanticipated blow by the state budget and now needs your help. There is never a good time to ask a community for increased funding and this is certainly true in a difficult economy. But remember, this is about the children of the Olentangy school district. The children who benefit from public education in this community come from every walk of life. Some are wealthy, others are disadvantaged. Some are gifted, others need extra help. Some arrive ready to learn, others are reluctant to participate. Regardless, the Olentangy Local School District reaches out to every child, celebrating his or her achievements and giving them an opportunity to be successful in life. Please help continue that tradition of success by voting “yes” on May 3. Richard Lewis, executive director of Ohio School Boards Association

District urged to answer questions To the editor: Randy Berry in your March 31 edition struck a chord with me. Berry is absolutely correct that there has been an absence of informational meetings to give the public a chance to ask questions about the proposed levy and have some kind of reasonable public discourse as we have the right to expect in a democSee LETTERS, page A8

April showers bring May flowers. We all know that sing-songy rhyme from when we were children. Maybe it was written to cheer up some little child, glum because he could not go outside to play, or maybe it was written to just illustrate the procession of seasons. Regardless, this little rhyme seems to make rain “the bad guy,” with the flowers of May our reward for having to put up with bad weather. Well, I like rain. I like the way wet woodlands smell – so rich and earthy. I notice how worms are forced out of their flooded underground tunnels, making them even easier pickings for robins. I enjoy hearing the rush of the creek, the water making little waterfalls out of every stone and tree branch. Mostly, though, I like what rain does for wildlife – particularly wildlife that is dependent on spring rains for their very survival. Walking in the woods, have you ever had to pick your way around a pool that you are sure was not there last time you looked? Or conversely, in the warm summer season, have you wondered why that pool you noticed a couple of months ago has disappeared? Those are vernal pools, and they do not stick around all year. The word “vernal” refers to spring, and these pools are hallmarks of springtime – our rainy season. Vernal pools tend to be low spots in the woodland floor, where rain water and snow run-off can collect and sit for several months. They don’t need to be large; some might be only a quarter-acre in size and a mere two feet deep during the wet season. Then, in the summer, the hot, dry weather causes them to evaporate and virtually disappear into the surrounding upland; woodland walkers might not even be able to tell where the pools had been. In Preservation Parks, one of the largest vernal pools is located in Gallant Woods Preserve, just northeast of Delaware. Since the pool is set back off the Acorn Trail,

visitors would miss it altogether if not for the chorus of frog sounds that fill the air in April. Chorus frogs SUE have been in the pool for a HAGAN few weeks, using their throaty calls to attract mates. Spring peepers are there now – their collective “peeps” making quite a racket. These frogs thrive in woodland vernal pools, but they could complete their life cycles just as easily in more permanent wetlands or ponds. Not so for wood frogs, a number of salamanders and some other species, which completely depend on intermittent wetlands to breed and survive. In fact, their very presence helps observers know that a particular wet area in the woods is, indeed, a vernal pool. Fairy shrimp and mole salamanders, for example, would not survive in a permanent pond, where they would become food for fish. Since vernal pools dry up in the summer, or become too shallow to support fish, the fairy shrimp

and salamanders are able to complete their life cycle without fear of predators. Even the smallest vernal pools, along with other wetlands, are protected from being filled in, unless a permit is obtained. Through the permit process, the landowner must ensure that the wetland being filled in is replaced with another, similar wetland. Using mitigation funds from some of those permit seekers, Preservation Parks has created wetlands in a number of the parks — in areas that were once natural wetlands, but had been drained for agriculture or other purposes in the past. Once restored, these wetlands improve water quality and wildlife habitat, contributing to the viability of many species. Bats, for example, count on vernal pools and other wetlands for the insects they need to survive. Join a Preservation Parks naturalist for a “Creature Feature” program on frogs and toads: 7 p.m. on May 6, at Deer Haven Preserve, 4183 Liberty Road, Delaware. Sue Hagan is the communications manager for Preservation Parks of Delaware County.

Master Gardeners helpline back for growing season By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Delaware County Master Gardeners will start manning a helpline the week of April 11. The Master Gardeners are a volunteer organization trained through and connected with Ohio State University Extension. The public may call (740) 8332030 and for answers to any kind of gardening question from insects to lawn and landscaping, trees and vegetable gardening. The hotline is free. Though the Master Gardeners will answer questions year round, they man a hotline 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, during the growing season, April through October. If a volunteer is not available to man the hotline, the extension office will forward the personâ€™s question and contact information to a gardener.

â€œWe receive on average about eight calls a day,â€? said Cindy Kaebler of the Extension office. As well as helping to answer everyday gardening questions, Master Gardeners participate in several projects throughout the county, such as helping to set up community gardens and teaching various classes on gardening. The Extension office holds Master Gardener training classes every other year, in winter. Participants attend 12 weeks of classes on subjects including plant physiology, lawn care, soils, plant nutrients, annuals and perennials, pest control and organic gardening. They also must pass a final exam and complete 50 hours of volunteer activities. This year, 21 people participated in the program that wraps up this month, Kaebler said. Master Gardener Susan Liechty said the group donates its knowl-

edge to those seeking gardening information. She and fellow Master Gardener Janelle Fling have seen an increased interest in gardening in the area, particularly in homegrowing vegetables. â€œThe concept of a victory garden is coming back,â€? said Fling, saying vegetable gardens become popular when the economy is tough and produce prices are high. Liechty said sheâ€™s seen an increase in people canning their garden produce, such as tomatoes. People new to gardening should get their soil tested, which can be done through the Extension office for $20, Liechty said, noting that itâ€™s a good first step. â€œItâ€™s also important to feel successful and I tell people to start with plants that are easy to grow â€” tomatoes, peppers and herbs such as basil, parsley and

Men to walk in high heels for anti-violence awareness By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Craig Hillâ€™s father taught him to respect women, and now Hill wants to teach his 13-yearold son to do the same. So when Hill dons a pair of high heels for the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event April 16, his son will be right there with him. The city will hold its third Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event, during which men walk a mile in high heels to raise awareness about rape, sexual assault and gender violence. Registration for Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, held by the Delaware County Sexual Assault Response Team and the Delaware County Coalition of Victim Services, will begin at 11:30 a.m. Hill, investigative agent at the Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities and event chairperson, said the route will start at the Sandusky Street crosswalk north of Spring Street. Participants will walk north on Sandusky Street, cross the street at Central Avenue to walk south on Sandusky, turning west across the OWU campus to get to Delaware Bicentennial Park. Hill said the Delaware County Sexual Assault Response Team and the Delaware County Coalition of Victim Services will use donations from the event for public outreach and victim awareness. Anyone can donate at a hotdog luncheon at the park following the walk, staged by the Coalition of Victim Services. Hill said the event, which Detective Sgt. John Radabaugh of the Delaware Police Department started in 2009, allows men to take a stand against violence.

â€œWe have an absolute duty to make sure we donâ€™t allow this kind of behavior to occur,â€? he said. The Delaware County Sheriffâ€™s Office in 2010 investigated 14 rape reports, 32 sex offenses and 478 domestic violence reports. Hill said itâ€™s important to support victims through encouragement and empowerment. While the men participating in the event wear the heels, women also walk. â€œWalk a Mile in Her Shoesâ€? shirts will also be sold during the event. Hill said canine units from the Delaware County Sheriffâ€™s Office and the Delaware City Police Department will be at the event for a meetand-greet and demonstration. The womenâ€™s selfdefense class offered by Helpline will be on hand to demonstrate defense techniques. A womenâ€™s motorcycle group, along with law enforcement and fire department motorcycle groups, will act as escorts for the mile walk, which lasts about 30 minutes. â€œItâ€™s a great sight,â€? Hill said. Hill said 36 walkers participated in 2009 and 2010. This year, he is hoping to have more people attend. The county will observe National Crime Victimsâ€™ Rights Week in other ways through April 16. According to a press release from the Delaware County prosecutorâ€™s office, the Delaware County Coalition of Victim Services will plant blue flags in front of the Delaware County commissionersâ€™ building at 10 Court St. The flags represent every victim of violent crime assisted in 2010. Blue is the official color of Victimsâ€™ Rights Week. See ANTI-VIOLENCE, page A7

oregano,â€? Liechty said. â€œDo the specialty things that are more complicated later.â€? Herbs are good for companion gardening, Liechty said, recommending people plant basil next

to tomato plants to ward off insects. Liechty was among the graduates of the countyâ€™s first Master Gardener class in 1994. Those interested in learning

From the listing process thru getting an offer and on to the closing, Heather and her team kept us informed, motivated, and encouraged. We greatly appreciate her expertise and professionalism. We strongly suggest to all who ask to give Heather a call before they buy or sell property.

Delaware County has posted a job opening for a communications and employee relations manager. The manager will serve as public information officer and handle human resources responsibilities. According to the job description, the manager would be responsible for marketing and communications programs, and managing the public information program. County administrator Tim Hansley said the position incorporates human resources responsibilities previously held by the director of administrative services and the human resources director. When director of administrative services Dawn Huston left her human resources director post, the county opted against filling that vacancy, Hansley said. â€œWe didnâ€™t want to just have an HR director,â€? he said. Hansley said a PIO was hired around 2007

and resigned about a year later. The vacancy was not filled. Commissioner Dennis Stapleton said, â€œOur intent on the communications side is to better communicate to the public all of the good things that go on and through the county commissionersâ€™ office. Too many times only the controversial things are reported, rather than everyday events that go on in the county from the commissionersâ€™ point of view.â€? Stapleton said the PIO will help the commissioners keep in contact with county employees with a newsletter or some other means of communication. â€œThis is going to be a pretty demanding position, so we need to select carefully,â€? Stapleton said. Huston told commissioners, who approved the job description on April 4, that the positionâ€™s salary range would be between $57,000 to $76,000. ssole@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Delaware County prosecutor Carol Oâ€™Brien said sexual abuse is underreported. â€œItâ€™s really hard to say how weâ€™re faring,â€? she said, adding that she thinks more victims are coming forward now than they have in the past. Twenty-seven rape victims, 21

assault victims, 18 domestic violence victims and 15 gross sexual imposition victims received service from the prosecutorâ€™s Victim Services Unit in 2010. Not every case resulted in a grand jury indictment. Additionally, in 2010, VSU filed 30 stalking protection orders and 27 domestic violence-dating violence protection orders. Six people were arrested last year for violating one of these protection orders.

Letters Continued from page A4 racy. Anyone who has ever attended an Olentangy school board meeting knows there is no question and answer opportunity, no debate and no discussion due to the rules established by the board that restrict such reasonable democratic processes. The so-called “public participation” rules at school board meetings provide limited public comment periods at only two intervals during the board meeting and individuals are restricted to remarks of no more than five minutes in duration. Moreover, the board’s rules restrict the format of this public participation to making a statement. There is no opportunity for questions and answers with the superintendent or board members, no opportunity for debate, in fact, no discussion of issues whatsoever. Frankly, with this lack of any opportunity for public discourse, the school board owes our community a series of open forums to afford our residents and taxpayers the opportunity to discuss, ask questions and debate the merits of the proposed 7.9 mill levy and bond

issue. At the Feb. 23 board meeting, I specifically raised a number of questions regarding the board’s failure to address the incredible and out-of-control employee benefit costs for district employees. To date, I have received no response from any board member. We in the private sector have been dealing with and developing strategies to contain the rapidly escalating costs of health insurance for the last two decades. But the school board and superintendent have ignored the issue. As I said at the board meeting, the Olentangy employee health insurance program includes no deductibles, 100-percent coverage on most major services and prescription drug co-pays of only $5 for a generic drug and $10 for a brand name, regardless of the cost to the taxpayers. In my judgment, even modest changes in health care plan design, reasonable increases in co-pays, deductibles and employee contributions could save our school district an estimated $4-million per year. Similar cost-saving opportunities exist in many other em-

We Create Beautiful Smiles

ployee benefit areas that the board and superintendent have not explored. No one begrudges providing a reasonable salary and benefits package to school district employees but do we need to provide such lucrative health care, pension and other benefits programs that are far in excess of anything we can buy or afford in the private sector? If there is a compelling case to support the levy and bond issue, why wouldn’t the superintendent and school board be willing to make that case in a public forum with the opportunity for questions and discussion? Information they have posted via “news releases” and their website is in some cases downright misleading, with the intent of promoting the levy. I call upon the school board and superintendent Wade Lucas to agree to public forums as suggested by Berry. If you can’t defend the need for the levy in a public forum, then it’s clear the 7.9-mill levy and bond issue aren’t needed. Karl Salmon Liberty Township

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 of each paycheck 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 onJORDAN line. Additionally, through MILLER III 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.

Turkish delights abound in Dublin strip mall 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-to-parsley 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 Patlican, like a lovely ratatouille;

By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek

The ezme appetizer at Cafe Ephesus.

Patlican Saltasi, a great, smoky, fresh and lemony baba ganoush; and a rich hummus flavored with cumin and lemon. From the hot appetizers, it’s hard to beat the marvelous and minty Mucver

and Doner ($12) — Turkish gyro, but so much better than the usual stuff. 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. Try the homemade, nottoo-sweet baklava ($5) that’s flaky and golden brown on top, dense and nutty underneath.

($6). Probably the healthiest pancakes you’ll ever eat, they’re crispy yet springy and made with shredded veggies (mostly zucchini and potato) and come with a side of herbed yogurt dip. You gotta get the kebabs right at a Turkish restaurant, and Ephesus certainly does. Served with a fluffy rice pilaf plus a pickled cabbage, parsley and raw onion mix (good for making little sandwiches with the ubiquitous grilled pita here), they all rocked.

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, fresh-baked breads, cinnamon rolls, 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 earlymorning 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. Origi-

nally, 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. It’s safe to say Roger Gentile Over the For more information, call 614-262-7587. likes wine a lot. years, the space

Hometown Oriental Carryout and Deli has changed hands. The Northwest Side restaurant, owned by husband-and-wife team Hartanto Nugroho and Liliana Liem, has been renamed Lily’s Asian Cuisine, 787 Bethel Road in the Olentangy Plaza. The couple said they will continue to offer most items on the previous menu while they introduce their own bill of fare, which offers mostly Chinese with the occasional Japanese and Thai dish, too. They already have installed a sushi bar. Liem formerly was a sushi chef at Whole Foods. It’s a big change for the 2,100-square-foot space, known for its cafeteria-like austerity as well as duck and barbecued pork hanging on hooks behind the counter. (Both items will remain on the menu but will not be displayed in the same manner.) Most entrees are in the $10 to $12 range. Siblings Marie and Peter Kwan recently owned the restaurant.

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. Shor tly after graduating from Ohio State University, Gentile began working at the store full-time. He would later return to Ohio State to teach wine classes. The shop is a wine and craftbeer depot with no pop, potato chips, lottery or beef jerky.

has been transformed. He has traded a deli for Mama Mimi’s Take N’ Bak e Pizza. The space Roger Gentile has undergone several remodeling projects. A second-floor room is used for winetastings and classes. “If you don’t change, you’re going out of business,” he said. At 65, he still enjoys his job. “Do you understand how much I love this?” he said. To see Gentile’s review of 2009 Geretto “Confidenza” Refosco IGT, go to www.ThisWeekNews.com/ foodandwine.

EAR INFECTION

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Douglas Evans, executive director of the Ohio Library Council, met recently with the organization’s intellectual freedom committee. 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.

Ohio Library Council

Executive director sees rest of state government just now catching up By KEVIN PARKS 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 out 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 nonprof-

it’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 government,” 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 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 training 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 30-percent 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.

OHIO LIBRARY COUNCIL Continued from page B6

‘Libraries are constantly changing’

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 have-not 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. The word that came back to the legislature, to the governor, was the public’s own word.” 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.

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,” 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 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

Have You Heard?

Featuring 15 BIA builders in 38 communities around Central Ohio.

by Greg VanHorssen SEE WHAT I’M TELLING YOU? You don’t have to be a lip reader to have your eyes play a major role in hearing what people are saying. The fact is that the brain combines information provided by different senses to make determinations. Perhaps the most notable demonstration of this phenomenon is the so-called “McGurk Effect,” which involves dubbing a syllable or word onto a video of a person’s face making a different sound. Researchers found that people watching the doctored video would “hear” what they saw the person saying, not the dubbed sound. In some cases, people actually came up with sounds that they made up entirely (combinations of the audio and video). This interesting effect shows that you may need your glasses to hear clearly.

Look for the Signs! CONDO QUEST

Being able to clearly see speakers’ faces allows the hearing-impaired to read the visual cues that accompany the spoken message. If you have a hearing loss, ask people to face you when they are speaking to you so that you can watch their faces and see their expressions. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our staff of professionals has years of experience providing the best possible hearing care to our patients. We invite you to call us today 614-654-4309 to schedule a hearing evaluation. We feature the top ten hearing aid brands at prices below any competitor in Ohio.

Braves start season strong By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A trip to a Division II district final last year helped set the tone for a good start by the Olentangy High School baseball team this season. The Braves lost 6-5 to second-seeded Lakewood in the district final to finish 15-16. This year, they have won nine of their first 10 games, playing with confidence gained in that tournament run. “The kids are working hard and that started building last season,” said coach Steve Little, whose team is ranked first in the Division II area coaches poll this week. “(Reaching a district final) was a good experience for a young team like we had last year.” After last season ended against Lakewood, the Braves set their sights on preparing for success. “We put in the time over the winter. We worked out at an indoor facility so we could throw and hit in cages,” said senior captain Kenny McCambridge, a right-handed pitcher and infielder. “We knew we were returning a ton of people and that there could be great things to come.” Junior catcher and outfielder Woody Wallace said the offseason workouts were good for team bonding. “We really have good team chemistry and that comes from working out together in the offseason. That helped us build off what we did last season,” Wallace said. “We saw what we were capable of doing in the postseason. Now we want to get back to the district final and go one even further.” On April 9, the Braves won two games, defeating Bexley 53 and Mount Vernon 4-1. Against Bexley, McCambridge hit his first career home run, singled and scored twice. Wallace singled twice, stole two bases and scored twice, and sophomore outfielder Christian Brett added two singles. “Now everyone is out here doing their part when they need to. I feel we are swinging the bats better than last year and we have been able to take advantage of situations when they present themselves,” McCambridge said. “We have an experienced team, but we’ve had some inexperienced players step up for us. When our center fielder (junior) Will Brett went down with a knee injury, his younger brother (sophomore) Christian stepped up for us.” Against Mount Vernon, McCambridge had two singles and an RBI and junior Ryan Dubil added two singles, drove in a run and scored one. “We’re having a lot of fun this year. We’re serious when we go into games, but we’ve been having fun at the same time,” said senior captain Chris Binkley, a catcher and outfielder. “We set a goal in the offseason to get back to the district final and go See BASEBALL, page C3

Track & Field

Pioneers’ Daniels keeps focus By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

There were times last year when Katelyn Daniels lost her focus while competing on the Olentangy Orange High School girls track and field team. She doesn’t have that luxury this season because of the competition in the school district and within her team. “I wasn’t as focused last year as I am this year,” said Daniels, a sophomore. “Our coaches don’t let things slide; they really push me to do my best. You can’t have a practice where you’re not working as hard as you possibly can.” Daniels was part of three first-place relays in the Red Edwards Golden Eagle Relays on April 9 at Big Walnut. The Pioneers scored 86 points to finish second to the host Eagles (96) and ahead of Westerville Central (76), Olentangy Lib-

erty (70) and Olentangy (67). In the boys meet, Liberty was fourth (72.5), Olentangy was fifth (50.5) and Orange was 10th (22) behind champion Westerville Central (88). Daniels joined Shannon Coriell and Kim Agyekum in a first-place finish in the shot put relay with a combined total of 98 feet and in the discus relay with a total of 255-9. She also joined Megan Reiter and Erin Ebersbach in winning the high jump relay in 14-10. The Pioneers’ lap medley of Jillian Barnett, Allison Priest, Brooke Pulkrabek and Hannah Hartzell placed first in 13 minutes, 7.3 seconds and the distance medley of Zoey Del Pinto, Tiffany Brooks, Barnett and Hartzell was first in 9:32.6. Both times broke meet records that had stood since 2003. “I was just really happy with how everyone did,” Daniels said. “We pushed

ourselves and did the best we could. “Every meet is important to me, no matter what. There’s always someone who hasn’t seen us perform before and you don’t want to shortchange yourself.” Daniels was ranked second (41-3) behind Reynoldsburg’s Donyelle Brown (41-4 1/2) in the shot put and second (113-9) behind DeSales’ Sophia Nnadi (121-9) in the discus in the April 11 central Ohio honor roll. Daniels said one of the things that drives her is the close competition in the area and within her team. Olentangy senior Adaora Anunike, a two-time state qualifier in the shot put, was ranked 11th (35-2) in the honor roll. “We all have talented throwers and we all worked really hard,” Daniels said. “We need to compete with each other because we all have friendly rivalries.

That’s why we do so well.” The competition between throwers also is strong on the boys side. Liberty’s Grant Cartwright threw the shot a school-record 50-3 to help Zach Shank and Adammichael Gesell place first in the shot put relay (137-3) in the Golden Eagle Relays, while Olentangy’s Alex Shetler, Claude Mbemba and Bryan Young were second (123-1). Cartwright, Grant Williams and Gesell also were first (393-1) in the discus relay. Cartwright was ninth (49-0) and Shank was 18th (45-11) in the central Ohio honor roll in the shot put, while Mbemba was ranked seventh (140-4) and Gesell was 13th (136-11) in the discus. The Braves, Pioneers and Patriots also will compete against each other at the Freedom Relays on April 21 at Liberty, See TRACK, page C3

Football

Pioneers’ Leet signs with Morehead State By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After running a spread offense for most of his final two seasons at Olentangy Orange High School, Jared Leet will get to give it a shot in college. Leet, a senior who also punted for the Pioneers, has signed to play football at Morehead State in Kentucky. The Eagles play in the Football Championship Subdivision, formerly Division I-AA. “I felt like I fit into their program,”

SOFTBALL Continued from page C1 first three games,” Moran said. “But we’re gaining confidence at the plate and we’ve been hitting the ball hard.” Coach Bruce Leary said Davidson, Lauren Hunsinger, Moran and Jamie Pence have been leading Orange’s offense. Leary also credits pitcher Mason Robinson for his team’s turnaround. Robinson pitched a two-hitter with seven strikeouts against Mount Vernon and threw a threehitter with eight strikeouts in a 3-0 win over New Albany in a league game on April 8. Against Elgin, Robinson had eight strikeouts and didn’t allow a hit or walk in five innings. “We’ve improved in a lot of aspects,” Leary said. “Our pitcher’s throwing a lot better and our defense is making a lot more plays to back her up. Our catcher, Lauren Hunsinger, is doing a great job, too.” After winning their first three OCC-Capital games, the Pioneers are beginning to eye their first league title. Orange will play at defending OCC-Capital champion Hilliard Bradley on Friday, April 15. “This is the first year we’ve had seniors and we want (the OCC-Capital title) really bad,” Eschenbach said. “We couldn’t beat Hilliard Bradley last year, but our hitting is a lot better now, so we’re ready to face them.” The Jaguars are led by senior pitcher and shortstop Kellie Roudabush, an Akron recruit who was both the Division II district Player of the Year and OCC-Capital Player of the Year last season. “The most important thing is to not freak out when we face her,” Moran said. “We know we can hit the ball, so we need to relax, time up her pitching and make contact. It’s more of a mental thing than anything else. As long as Mason pitches well and we don’t have many errors, we can win this game.” •Olentangy beat Liberty 9-0 on April 8 before defeating Orange 5-0 and Marion Elgin 62 the following day. “The girls from our team know the girls from Liberty and Orange very well, so those were fun games and big wins for us,” coach Marty Mearhoff said. Through seven games, pitcher Haley Breuer was 5-1 with a 0.18 ERA. “Haley’s control has been very good and she’s pitched extremely well,” Mearhoff said.

said the 6-foot-2, 175-pound Leet, who also considered Kentucky, Butler and Findlay. “They have a family atmosphere and their program has been successful.” Three of his Orange teammates have signed with Notre Dame College, an NAIA school in South Euclid. They are Marquise Boykin (linebacker), Blake Joe (wide receiver/defensive back) and Pablo Kirigiti (defensive back). Orange finished 6-4 overall and 5-2 in the OCC-Capital Division last fall.

Leet completed 32 of 59 passes for 466 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions. He missed three games because of a concussion. As a punter, he was first-team allleague and honorable mention all-district. He averaged 38.3 yards on 23 punts. “I think they liked the way he could throw the football and the way he plays with his feet,” Orange coach Brian Cross said. “They like that he came from a spread offense and that he was also a good punter.”

Leet knows that his punting ability helped lead to the scholarship. “They like me as a quarterback and as a punter,” Leet said. “There is also a chance I can play some baseball down the road, but right now it’s just going to be football.” Morehead State finished 5-6 overall last season under 16-year coach Matt Bullard. The Eagles went 4-4 in the Pioneer Football League. “They only have seen me play on film, but they like my strength and size,” Leet said. “They want me to work

on my throwing mechanics. Sometimes I throw with my arm down a little, like (former Florida quarterback) Tim Tebow.” Leet believes the Eagles’ spread offense will be a good complement for his skills. “I think that with my last few years, this could be a great fit,” he said. “They also let the quarterback run the ball, so that’s great, too.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

OHSAA votes down spring football practice Girls soccer expanding to three divisions next season By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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 recruiting 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,

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 By David Yunker/ThisWeek OHSFCA release that has been posted online by several news Lauren Hunsinger of Orange connects with a pitch for a single outlets, including JJHuddle.com, during a 6-1 loss to Northridge on April 1. the proposal asked for two weeks of football instruction during the At a glance final two weeks of May.

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 announced 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

Kenny McCambridge of Olentangy delivers a pitch during the Braves’ 13-3 five-inning win over host Marysville on April 8.

BASEBALL Continued from page C1 further than we went last year.” Olentangy improved to 3-0 in the OCC-Cardinal Division with a 13-3 win in five innings over Marysville on April 8. Last year, the Braves finished last in the eight-team league at 2-12, behind co-champions Dublin Jerome, Dublin Scioto and Olentangy Liberty (10-4). Westerville South was fourth at 8-6, followed by Marysville (7-7), Westerville North (5-9) and Westerville Central (4-10). “We’re getting help from everyone and getting good wins,” Little said. “The pitching has been pretty consistent and we have been ready to play.” Dubil entered this week with a 3-0 record. He earned wins in a 12-2 victory over DeSales in the opener on March 28, a 101 victory over Dublin Coffman on April 1 and a 7-2 win over Scioto on April 6. McCambridge was 2-0 and threw six no-hit innings in a 5-0 win over Worthington Kilbourne on March 29. Junior Chris Elmer threw one hitless inning to complete the no-hitter against the Wolves. “Our pitching has been great,” Wallace said. “We have two pitchers (McCambridge and Dubil) who have been really consistent

TRACK Continued from page C1 the Olentangy Invitational on April 29 at Olentangy and the Delaware County Elite Eight meet May 5 at Liberty. By the end of the season, the throwers are very familiar with each other, Mbemba said. “There’s a lot of competition this year and that really helps us,” he said. “You know how far they’re going to go and you see if you can beat them.” Whitney Bice, Elizabeth Bice and Gabi Smith, who cleared a combined 28-7 in the pole vault, had Olentangy’s only first-place finish in the Golden Eagle Relays. The Liberty boys and girls teams also showcased their speed in the Golden Eagle Relays. Nick D’Amico, Zach Shank, Tyler Best and Chris Uhle won the sprint relays in a meet-record 1:39.9, while Sonia Pham, Alena Southlick, Stephanie Watson and

and our other pitchers have been following suit. Both Kenny and Ryan throw hard and have been hitting their spots. “Our pitchers have been getting ahead with a first-pitch strike. That gives us room to work and allows us to use more off-speed pitches.” The Braves played Liberty on April 13, and the teams meet again on Friday, April 15. Wallace said his team will need clutch performances against the

Patriots. “We have been able to pick each other up all of the time. We’ve been having a lot of people coming through in the clutch for us,” Wallace said. “One thing we definitely can’t do is let up. We have to make sure we play seven good innings of baseball or teams will come back to get us.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
