Voters reject 1-mill parks levy By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Local voters rejected Issue 8, a 1-mill permanent replacement levy for New Albany Parks and Recreation that would have provided funding for field maintenance and other park improvements. “We’ll have to regroup and see what the board wants to do,” said Richard Williams, one of the parks board members. “We thought this was necessary for the community.”
According to unofficial results from the Franklin County Board of Elections on May 3, Issue 8 failed 497 votes, or 50.77 percent, to 482 votes, or 49.23 percent, with all 21 Franklin County precincts reporting. According to the Licking County Board of Elections, no eligible voters in two precincts voted. A representative from the board of elections confirmed that there are only 10 voters in Licking County who could vote on Issue 8. According to the parks board, the 1-
mill levy would have cost $122.50 per year for an owner of a home with an assessed value of $400,000, which would have been an increase of $57.18 from the $65.32 per year previously collected by the current 0.75-mill levy. The $122.50 total did not include the amount property owners already pay on two parks bond issues — a $6-million bond issue approved in 2004 and a $5million issue approved in 2003. Issue 8 would have replaced the 0.75mill permanent levy that was approved
when New Albany Parks and Recreation was formed as the New Albany-Plain Local Joint Park District in 1999. According to the group’s website, the organization was formed by New Albany, Plain Township and the New AlbanyPlain Local School District. Each entity appointed a representative to a parks board and the group worked to schedule events and operate facilities within the school district’s boundaries. New Albany Parks and Recreation has grown to include programming for 3,700
participants annually and operates three park complexes in northern Plain Township. Parks director Dave Wharton said the 0.75-mill levy generates $496,000 annually and is being collected at effective rate of 0.53 mill. The increase to 1 mill would have generated $922,000 annually for parks programs and allowed the district to improve field maintenance with the inSee PARKS LEVY, page A6

Class promotes independent learning By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers A remote light-bulb changer, a luggage carrier that automatically follows its owner and a vehicle built to accommodate a driver sitting in a wheelchair are some of the innovative robotics projects being developed by New Albany High School freshmen and sophomores. The students are enrolled in a high school robotics class taught by David Herman.
“A lot of schools have an after-school robotics program or a club that competes like athletes do,” Herman said. “But this is the only (robotics program) that is taught as a course, not a club.” The students work in small groups, first determining an idea for a project and then using the parts provided by the Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools to build their projects. Six groups are working on six different projects that will be presented to a mock venture capital group later this month.
“I like building, exploring different fields and taking apart and putting back together,” said sophomore Alec Lucas, who is a member of the group building the light-bulb changer. “It’s like the best class ever.” Each group keeps a daily journal stating its plans and recording its accomplishments, Herman said. Herman reviews the journals and provides resources for the students as needed. See ROBOTICS CLASS, page A2
Two more businesses have received tax breaks from the city of New Albany: Ella, a new restaurant to open on Johnstown Road, and Janova, a business that got its start in New Albany’s first business-incubator building. New Albany City Council on May 3 approved a 5-year, 40-percent income-tax credit for Ella and a 5-year, 15-percent income-tax credit for Janova. Ella stands for Eat local. Love art. The restaurant is owned by Hayley Savage and Amy Schottenstein and will be located at 266 and 268 Main St., in the strip center with U.S. Bank. Savage, who operates the Hayley Gallery on Second Street, will be moving her gallery to 270 Main St. in August so the restaurant and gallery can be combined. The restaurant will serve “seasonal inspired American cuisine,” using ingredients grown locally, Savage said, and it will adjoin the gallery space. The gallery will feature several tables, as well, and will be available for private functions. Savage said she’s already working with the McCoy center on dinner theater events for next year since the McCoy is only a few blocks from the restaurant’s new location. Community development director Jennifer Chrysler said the restaurant will take up 3,000 square feet and the gallery will occupy 1,500 square feet, which qualifies Ella for the incometax credit. The credit is estimated to save the company $2,400 annually, with the city retaining $3,600 a year. “This is a village center incentive package, See COUNCIL, page A7

Funds approved for fiber-optic, water-system projects By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The New Albany Community Authority’s board of directors agreed May 2 to release $475,000 from the economicdevelopment fund to pay for fiber-optic line extensions and a water system for the business park east.
City manager Joseph Stefanov told the board of directors the fiber-optic system already benefits the city, businesses and schools. The extension to the business park east, which is being called the personal care and beauty campus, will allow the businesses in that area to take advantage of the system, as well. The fiber extension is anticipated to
cost $375,000 and is being done in conjunction with American Electric Power. Council on Feb. 15 agreed to waive the competitive bidding requirements for the fiber-optic extensions and allow the village to use an existing agreement with AEP, which currently maintains New Albany’s fiber lines. The water system will serve the same
business campus and provide fire suppression until the city builds a water tower in the area. Stefanov said the “gray water” system — using water that does not contain sewage, but is still not potable — is anticipated to cost $100,000. It includes a pump station that will pull water from large ponds and run it into a 16inch underground water main. The main
DIRECTORY
will service sprinkler systems in the buildings and provide water in fire hydrants that will be used to fight any fires in the area, according to the Monroe Township Fire Department. Stefanov said the city eventually would have to build a water tower at Beech See FUNDS APPROVED, page A2

Continued from page A1 Besides documenting their daily work and turning in precise computer drawings of their models, at least one member of each group also is writing a synopsis of the group’s work to be submitted to Robot Magazine, an international publication. Herman said the magazine editor has indicated the stories could be published. During their work on the projects, the students face challenges they must solve themselves. Freshman Adam Shadi said the issue with the wheelchair car is that is has to be much larger than a regular vehicle so the chair can drive into it on a ramp. But the ramp presents another problem because the motor under the chair hangs down and can catch on the ramp. The group building the luggage-carrying robot is trying to figure out the best way for a person to carry the tennis ball-size sensor that makes the robot follow its owner. Also, the light-bulb grabber isn’t grasping light bulbs easily since most of the parts in the arm are plastic, which slides when touching glass instead of adhering to it. To solve the problems, the students sometimes will ask Herman for help and sometimes look at other work to find similar issues and solutions. Herman said the goal of the course is not to just have students

learn to build something. Rather, the goal is to have them discover they can learn anything they want. For Lucas, the approach has worked. “This class promotes individual learning, so you can do what you want to do and work at your own pace,” he said. Sophomore Lauryn Woodyard liked the range of disciplines covered by the robotics class. “I’m interested in math, science and technology and I wanted to see how they all came together,” she said. Sophomore Isabella Balzano said she learned about getting along with others from working
in the groups, as well as how to do things on her own. Her group is working on a trash compactor that will compact trash into a box. The students must follow deadlines and keep themselves on pace, Balzano said. “It’s a lot more than just about a robot program,” she said. “It helps you develop skills I’ll need in the future.” Herman said the class has been so popular that it will increase by three sections next year. The school will need to add more computers and desk space for the incoming students.

FUNDS APPROVED Continued from page A1 Road. If the tower is put in too early without enough users, it could have water quality issues. Stefanov said it would be costly to use chlorine for that much unused water and the chemical’s effectiveness expires, which causes more problems. “This (system) will buy us some additional time until there’s adequate water demand,” Stefanov said. The community authority board approved the request in a 3-0 vote. Saundra Cooke, Brent Bradbury and Trudy Bartley voted in favor of the motion, with members Ted Adams and Keith Morris abstaining. Bill Ebbing and Harry Ryan were absent. The authority’s attorney, Greg Stype, said the motion passed by majority of the quorum. The economic-development fund was created with revenue from income taxes collected in the business parks in New Albany. Scott McAfee, the city’s communications director, said 35 percent of the income-tax revenues generated from the business parks goes to New Albany, 35 percent goes to the New Albany-Plain Local School District and the other 30 percent goes into the economic-development fund to be used to pay off debt or pay for new infrastructure in the business parks. McAfee said the
money must be used for projects inside the business parks. The economic-development fund is completely separate from the other funds held by the community authority, which collects a 4.75-mill annual assessment on properties in the New Albany Country Club community. Those funds help to pay down previous debt incurred in the late 1990s to build Fodor Road, improve the Plain Township Fire Station and build parts of New Albany High School. Stefanov said the water project already has started. One of the companies moving into the campus, Accel Inc., plans to open in June and must have the water system in place. Stefanov said the city was able to start the project using some of the debt already
issued for the business park’s infrastructure. In other business, the community authority board voted to reissue bonds that paid for infrastructure in two of the business campuses. Bradbury said the debt was originally issued in 1997 for $10 million. The balance unpaid is $8.8 million. To address that balance, the board voted to refinance $6 million of the bonds to lock in a better interest rate and to resell one note for $2 million annually. The note can be rolled over annually or paid off at some point. The board will take the final $800,000 out of the economic-development fund and pay that off. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

New Albany High School
Officials: ‘House system’ will help unify students By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspaper New Albany High School is borrowing an idea from the popular “Harry Potter” books and movies, an idea officials say has worked in private schools in Ohio and out of state: the “house system.” “With the house system, we’re reinventing and changing the high school experience for the students, teachers and the community,” principal Ric Stranges told the New Albany-Plain Local school board April 25. High school science teacher Greta Manning said she started a “Harry Potter” club this year with the idea of leadership in mind. Instead of having student officers elected in what usually becomes a popularity contest, Manning said, leaders would be chosen to participate in the house system. The high school will have eight houses and students and teachers will act as leaders. The system will include opportunities for teachers to serve as dean of a house, with prefects and other student leaders working with them. All students will be a member of a house, Stranges said, which will provide them with a more unified structure and a set of housemates who can help them through transitions. Parent Jeannine Winters, whose Boston high school had a house system, said it will help freshmen make a smooth transition into high school and take away some of the fear of not knowing other students. Stranges said each house will have its own colors and motto. The house names will be taken from the eight original one-room schoolhouses that were in New Albany and Plain Township. The students will meet with their housemates every morning during the academic options period. The house system will not be like a fraternity or sorority, assistant high school principal Rex Reeder said. Instead, there will be opportunities for mentorships with upper classmen working with the younger students. “With our growing population, our students deserve more opportunities,” Reeder said. “No student will fall through the cracks.” School board president Mark Ryan said the house system could be an opportunity to enhance the school’s culture and combat bullying in a positive manner. Stranges said school officials could foster the positive culture by encouraging the students to celebrate the peers in their houses, possibly by putting up world maps for the houses and asking students to mark where they were born or lived before. “They will learn about cultural differences from
TM
people in their own houses,” Stranges said. Students also will benefit from their work with different teachers and teachers will be given more opportunities to be leaders, Stranges said. It could encourage collaboration or sharing of ideas that doesn’t currently exist for most staff members outside of their departments. Board vice president Laura Kohler said her children were in a school house system when she was in Canada. She said it provided additional opportunities for leadership and promoted a strong sense of a school community. “It’s a wonderful way to make sure every student felt valued,” she said. Board member Michael Klein had several questions about the house system. He asked how the high school would keep houses from dividing loyalties and keeping a sense of “Eagle pride” throughout the school. Stranges said the high school colors and the Eagle mascot would continue to be predominant in the school and students would continue to support their sports teams, academic groups and other teams that represent the entire high school. Klein asked if houses would be competing against each other, which could further divide students. Reeder said the time that housemates spend together would be more about educational opportunities, not about competing against one another. Klein said since the board has adopted a vision of reinventing education, he wondered how the house system, which already is being practiced, could be part of that vision. Stranges said the house system has been done in out-of-state schools and private schools in Ohio, such as Bishop Hartley High School in Columbus. According to its website, Hartley’s house system provides opportunities for 94 student leaders in the six houses and helps the school retain “the feel of the family atmosphere that Hartley has enjoyed for many years.” New Albany would be the first public school in Ohio to use the system, Stranges said. Board members asked what the house system would cost the district. Superintendent April Domine said no additional supplemental pay would be used for the house system. Teachers serving as house deans might receive supplemental pay, she said, but their positions as house deans would replace other positions that already earn supplemental pay. “That will keep us within the existing budget,” Domine said. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The city itself is the single monument to Joel Wright He is one of the more elusive men in the story of Columbus. Joel Wright is also one of the more important ones. Because of Wright, the whole downtown of Columbus is where it is, is named as it is and is laid out on lines that are still followed today. There is no picture, no portrait, no sketch of this remarkable man. Wright was a member of the Society of Friends, called Quakers, and most Quakers shunned pictures as a waste of time and effort. Because of the memories of his friends and acquaintances, we know a little bit about him. He was tall and strong and generally quite fit. He wore the long plain coat of the Quakers, with its large pockets with flaps folded over. He sported knee-length stockings and plain leather shoes. Both the buckles at his knees and on his shoes were made of silver and were a modest display of the success he had made of himself in Ohio. Born in 1750, Wright had missed most of the American Revolution and became known as a man who provided his own passage. Wright was a surveyor and by definition one of the few literate and well-read men in an often illiterate frontier society. In the years after the American Revolution, he spent most of his time surveying the upper reaches of the Scioto, Muskingum and Miami rivers. He also was a town planner and helped lay out Dayton, Ohio, and Louisville, Kentucky, among other places. After the death of his wife, Wright decided to follow his grown children into the Ohio country and eventually came to call the area around Waynesville his home. In spring 1812, he was called
from southwest Ohio to do once more what he did best, only this time with even more attention to ED detail. Ohio LENTZ in 1812 was a state in search of itself. Established in 1803, Ohio was the first state carved out of the Northwest Territory that had become a section of British America in 1763 and part of the newly established United States in 1783. A nation mired in debt and with little income used this vast expanse of land to pay its soldiers’ past-due wages. It sold the remaining land to anyone who wanted to buy. Because Ohio was closer to the east, it became the site of immense land grants to people from north and south, as well as people burned out by the British and even a colony of expatriate French settlers. The land immediately across the Scioto from frontier Franklinton was called the “High Banks opposite Franklinton at the Forks of the Scioto known as Wolf’s Ridge.” Most of the land, from Fifth Avenue on the north to Refugee Road on the south, was set aside for residents of Nova Scotia who had lost property because they had favored the American cause. Desperate for support, many of these people sold their land warrants to speculators and never came to Ohio. Some of the few who did settled near Broad Street and named their home after the place they left: Truro Township in Nova Scotia. By 1812, much of the land on that high ridge opposite Franklin-
ton was empty. As such it became a place to examine as Ohio began looking for a new state capital. The first capital was at Chillicothe, a town along the Scioto River. Unlike the river towns of Marietta and Cincinnati, Chillicothe was a small frontier village and representative of the common people who were settling the new land. It also was directly below Adena, the hilltop estate of Ohio founder Thomas Worthington. Responding to requests for a more northern location, the capital city had been located briefly in Zanesville before being moved back to Chillicothe. In February 1812, after looking at many sites, the Ohio General Assembly chose the High Banks opposite Franklinton as its new home. Joel Wright came from southwest Ohio to carve that new capital city from the wilderness. Working with local surveyor Joseph Vance, Wright laid out the town of Columbus in April 1812. He picked the site of Statehouse Square and a 10-acre site for a penitentiary, where the Cultural Arts Center is today. He filed a report with the general assembly, listing all of his expenses, including the $2.43 for his journey to central Ohio. Wright’s expenses included the cost of paper and other supplies and his room and board. All of his expenses, including his trip home, came to $17.62. It is fair to say in retrospect that Ohio got its money’s worth. By June 1812, the first sale of lots occurred. James Kilbourne of Worthington paid $1,000 for a corner lot at Broad and High. Other nearby lots went for sev-

eral hundred dollars each. Sales abruptly slowed when it was later learned that America had gone to war with Britain on the same day, June 18, that the sale had been held. Wright returned to Columbus in 1813 to oversee the construction of the penitentiary. When it was under way, he resigned Ed Lentz writes a history column for his position as “director of Columbus.” He ThisWeek.

New Albany’s recent certification as a city carries with it a new web address: www.newalbanyohio.org. The website will also have a few new features, including videos, a technology blog and a dedicated mobile website. “We felt our site was designed well and a good visual representation of our brand,” said communications director Scott McAfee. “But we wanted to add all of the socialmedia platforms we’ve implemented and include other tools that can help create conversations between New Albany staff and those that we serve. “We also needed to address the ease to which we update our website, especially since staff (members) perform all the updates.” New Albany hired Buckeye Inter-
active in late 2010 to update the website. Updates include improvements to the home page, links to the city’s electronic newsletter, a link to the “Innovate New Albany” technology and entrepreneurship blog and an expanded list of contacts and frequently requested forms. Buckeye Interactive, which is a New Albany-based web-development and interactive-marketing company run by president Brad Griffith, also created a separate website that will adapt online communications and forms for viewing on mobile devices. The company will provide two years of website maintenance, which includes routine discussions with New Albany staff “to keep the web-
site on the cutting edge of functionality,” McAfee said. “Part of our maintenance includes new development to allow us to keep up with technology and continue to increase our service to our residents in the future,” McAfee said. Buckeye Interactive’s contract for the upgrade and two-year maintenance agreement will cost the city $9,100. “This was by far our best option in terms of price, product and vendor,” McAfee said. “Through Brad’s efforts, we were able to cost-effectively increase our level of service and maintain a relationship with a professional with long-term ties to our community.” — Lori Wince

FRRC pushing for more savings By LORI WINCE
Community Authority and levies termine if better usage options FRRC on March 22, 2010, to as-
ThisWeek Community Newspapers approved in the past few years to exist. When budgeting, he said, sist in reviewing district finances.
The New Albany-Plain Local School District’s financial review and reporting committee (FRRC) has accomplished much in a year. Committee member Phil Derrow reported April 25 to the school board on the committee’s achievements and challenges in its first year of existence. He said the district saved more than $500,000 this school year by adjusting expenses in each building. “We pushed for real savings this year,” Derrow said. The committee encouraged administrators to examine their spending habits. “Instead of starting with what they spent last year, we asked them to go on need,” Derrow said. Derrow said the committee began its work by recognizing some hard facts: • District expenses were growing annually two to three times more than inflation at 7 to 8 percent a year. • Operations costs were anticipated to double in the next nine years with the cost per student doubling in 14 years. • Property values have fallen by 20 percent in the past three years. • Effective tax millage rates for the district are the highest in central Ohio, which is due to several factors, including the New Albany
pay for the increasing number of students being enrolled in the district. “That path was and is simply unsustainable,” Derrow said. “Too often we are driven by how much money comes in.” During one of the committee’s first three meetings, a consultant told members that expenses would rise by 6 percent every year and that they would have to deal with the increase. But Derrow said no more money is coming in to match that increase. The district also is anticipating $2 million less funding, or a loss of 4 percent of the budget, because of decreased income-tax revenue, cuts in basic state aid and federal money and the phasing out of the tangible personal-property tax by the state. Derrow said the committee is encouraging the district to put all of its expenses on the table during the budgeting process, even salaries, which make up 80 percent of the total budget and currently are controlled by union contracts. Board member Michael Klein asked how the FRRC is addressing facility needs and the district’s overcrowding issue. Derrow said the district must consider its current use of facilities again when budgeting and de-

Also, according to New Albany Parks and Recreation, Bevelhymer Park would have received some lights for athletics fields and more leisure options for families, such as basketball courts, a pavilion, a playground and fitness stations along the walking path. Thompson Park would have received grills and landscaping and Wexner Park would have received grills and sliding doors on its pavilion.
“We’ll do the best with the resources we have,” Williams said. “I don’t know that there will be cuts in programming but some of the big-ticket items we had hoped to do may have to be spread out over time.” He mentioned improving turf, adding lights and connecting park trails as some of those items. Williams said the election results were very close, which showed some support for the levy. He said the board would have to consider whether it wants to try the issue again and provide more marketing and advertising.
everything must be considered, including use of facilities. “Everything must be on the table, including staffing (who, where, when, and how much), programming, class sizes, schedules, facilities,” Derrow said. Board vice president Laura Kohler said the committee is expected to report to the board on a quarterly basis. The school board created the

Computer courses focus on self-directed learning
Visit ThisWeekNews.com/foodandwine
By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Students took over several computer courses this year at New Albany High School at the request of teacher David Herman. Herman told the New Albany-Plain Local school board April 25 that when he was preparing his courses last summer, he decided his meticulous planning gave students “no room for choice.” “I was planning a journey without a starting point,” he said, noting he did not know which students would enroll or how they would learn. “I unconsciously was putting a cap on them with my strong planning.” So, Herman changed his planning and took a different route. On the first day of school, he handed a rubric to his students in the Cisco Academy and those in the Advanced Placement computer science course. It listed all the information they needed to learn and all of the exams required. In two days, the students returned plans to learn the material and be prepared for the tests. Stephanie Zhong, one of the AP students, said at first she was concerned about not working directly with a teacher giving a lecture every day. But, she said, as the course went along, she had more freedom to guide her own learning and became much more independent near the end of the year. “I think the best teacher for me is me,” she said. Lucas Arledge, a senior from Gahanna Lincoln High School studying in the Cisco Academy through the partnership with the Eastland Fairfield Career and Technical Schools, said he, too, was skeptical at the beginning of the year. “The style of learning motivated me more than any of my other classes I’ve taken,” Arledge said. Arledge said he learned more about his own learning style.
“Self-directed learning opens the realm of possibilities,” he said. “I’ve accomplished (much) because I had to motivate myself.” The Cisco Academy gives students the opportunity to take a test and receive certification as a Cisco certified entry network technician. Arledge and juniors Jason McDonald and Nick Depinet passed the exam this year. But Arledge told the school board that the Cisco Academy offered him more than just a certification. “It’s not about building computer networks, it’s about building yourself,” he said. Herman said when he was teaching a standard course for the AP class, he never had more than a 30-percent passage rate on the AP exam. This year, he expects 80 percent of the class to pass. Similarly, in the Cisco Academy, he said, only 15 percent of students usually receive their certification. This year, 40 percent of the class already is certified. “They’ve only had one lecture from me this year,” Herman said. “And (the academy students) asked for it.” Herman also teaches a robotics course at the high school, which he said will become a self-directed course next year. School board member Michael Klein said he was happy to hear Herman and the students were contributing to the district’s pursuit of becoming a leader in “reinventing education,” which is part of its recently updated vision statement. Board vice president Laura Kohler concurred. “This is the most exciting thing I’ve heard since I was elected to the board,” Kohler said. “You get it and the kids get it. This is where we want to go in this district.”

Zoning commission to continue review of storage facility May 12 The Plain Township Zoning Commission decided April 28 to continue reviewing an application for the AAA Storage facility at 10913 Johnstown Road at its May 12 meeting. AAA Storage wants to build a set of storage units that will total
COUNCIL Continued from page A1 which is consistent with other packages we’ve offered in the village center,” Chrysler said. Janova was founded in New Albany in 2002 and the company has developed a web-based software-testing program that can be used with any Internet connection. Using the modern method of cloud computing — Internetbased applications, tools and infrastructure — Janova can complete the tests in less than half the time that many companies spend running only one test, according to company founder Jeff Lusenhop in a December interview. Janova also does not require users to have a degree in information technology and be able to write technical computer codes for each test. Lusenhop said his employees convert normal questions asked by users in plain English into technical script that the software can understand. “This is something to be very passionate about, an existing company in our community with a growing idea,” Chrysler said. The company currently employs 36 people with an annual payroll of $2 million. Janova plans to expand and add 116 employees in the next three years, bringing its annual payroll to $10 million. Chrysler said the city’s estimated income-tax collections from that revenue are $200,000 annually. The tax credit will apply only to the new payroll. Income-tax revenue from companies in the New Albany business parks is split three ways: 35 percent goes to the city, 35 percent goes to the New AlbanyPlain Local School District and the other 30 percent is used to payoff infrastructure debt incurred when the campuses were built. Through that sharing agreement, Chrysler said, Janova currently generates $14,000 a year for the city and $14,000 for the school district, with $12,000 being used to payoff infrastructure debt. When Janova’s benchmark payroll is met, the company will generate $86,000 for the city, $86,000 for the school district and $53,000 to pay off infrastructure debt. Council approved each economic-incentive agreement by a 6-0 vote, with council member Glyde Marsh absent. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
102,420 square feet on 10.788 acres. The facility would be more than 400 feet west of Johnstown Road, with residential uses on either side. It would include some units on the west end that would provide indoor, climate-controlled storage for recreational vehicles. The application for a zoning change from rural to select commercial-planned district was reviewed April 21 by the Rocky Fork-Blacklick Accord Implementation Panel. The panel had questions about the application
and decided to continue its review at a May 19 meeting. The zoning commission also opted to continue review of the application at its next meeting. Plain Township trustees have the final say on any zoning changes. Recommendations from the accord panel and the zoning commission are forwarded to trustees before a public hearing on the zoning change is scheduled. — Lori Wince

Special Olympics team participates in first meet Athletes on the New Albany Special Olympics team participated in their first meet May 1 at Denison University in Granville. The Area 6 Region was a local meet for all Special Olympics teams in central Ohio, said Amy Thomas, New Albany Special Olympics coordinator. Thomas and New Albany teacher Barry Ward organized the New Albany team in February. They said they saw a need for a local team because many residents with special needs were traveling to other communities to participate in Special Olympics. Thomas said the team has five more meets this summer: the Columbus Classic at Whetstone High School on May 7; the Amanda-Clearcreek Special Olympics event May 14; a dual meet at Westerville Central High School on June 8; the Delaware Invitational on June 11; and the state meet at The Ohio State University’s Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium from June 24 to 26. Thomas said the team also is preparing to be in the New Albany Founders Day parade May 21. — Lori Wince

Cuco’s Taqueria serves up unbeatable values Because today is Cinco de Mayo, why not beat the burrito-buzzsawing crowds by igniting your fiesta well before noon? I’m not talking about drinking all day long (though I’m not ruling it out, either), I’m suggesting you jump-start your morning with a zesty and stunningly cheap Mexican breakfast at Cuco’s. Most people know Cuco’s as one of the best full-service Mexican restaurants
Chilaquiles at Cuco's Taqueria.

in Columbus, and it is certainly that. But the family- and party-friendly Cuco’s serves up some unbeatable first-meal values, too. I’ll admit at first it felt a bit odd settling into a roomy booth in the modest and amusingly Mexi-kitschy Cuco’s at 9 a.m. I’m so used to digging into their fresh chips and salsa and heck-yeah margaritas (the Original, on the rocks and with half the sugar is my local benchmark) By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek that lurking over eggs and diner-style coffee
(sometimes flavored with cinnamon) almost seemed surreal. So I ordered a Vampiro cocktail to get my mind right. Made with tequila, grapefruit soda and the bracing tequila chaser called sangrita, it tastes entertainingly citrusy, spicy, sweet and tart. Anyway, sucking on that Vampiro proved to be an inspired idea. So did ordering the smorgasbord-like El Tapatio platter ($6.25). Kinda like breakfast, lunch and dinner all on a single huge plate, it’s a phenomenal deal. I got three eggs over greasy; a generous mound of addictive Mexican hash (crispy fried potato cubes blended with lots of properly fat-rendered and zingy chorizo); two terrific barbacoa tacos fashioned with soft corn tortillas wrapped around spicy, juicy and super-tender beef; and rich refried beans laced with melted cheese. Equally giddy-making in variety and size and likewise providing killer value is the hog-out ensemble called Nuevo

after the eggs in the previous dish (well, plus rice and beans — don’t think you’re getting off that easy here) by ordering the good Huevos Rancheros ($5.25). In general, Chilaquiles ($5) is a clever Mexican leftovers meal made by stewing yesterday’s tortillas with condiments and other flavor enhancers. At Cuco’s, this translated into a piquant, cooked salsa verde playing off of a fresh tomato pico de gallo plus three eggs (of course), cheese and sides of those irresistible breakfast potatoes and refried beans. For something a little more unusual, but still nice, try the Oaxaqeña ($6.75). This was three ample enchiladas crammed with scrambled eggs and spuds wholly slathered in a stout black bean sauce. Like all of the breakfasts at Cuco’s, it’s an incredibly generous serving of food and flavor for a mere pittance of pesos.

The roll call on that one went like this: • Three fried eggs (because three’s better than two, right?) enticingly simmered in a zippy ranchero sauce then winningly plopped atop fried corn tortillas • Soupy, full-flavored black beans • What the menu calls bacon or sausage but happily turned out to be more of that well-done chorizo • Two big and very nice pancakes (dessert’s too often neglected in the morning, don’t you think?) that were light, had attractively crisp exteriors, were pleasantly flavored with vanilla and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Yeah, that’s a lot of food. For a more Check out the new Columbus-area dinmodest repast, you could just call it quits ing guide at www.ColumbusCrave.com
Chefs to converge on Audubon Center for fourth Taste event
By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek
Kevin Caskey, owner and chef of Skillet, puts raspberries on the raspberry panna cotta with lemon and rhubarb verbena. It is one of the dishes he is making for the Taste of Dine Originals event to be held May 12 at Grange Insurance Audubon Center.
Kevin Caskey can’t wait to show off his chops next week at the fourth annual Taste of Dine Originals. The chef and owner of Skillet in Schumacher Place will serve raspberry panna cotta with rhubarb and lemon verbena, along with some other creations. Caskey is among 50 chefs participating in the fourth annual event, to be held May 12 at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, 505 W. Whittier St. He said he hasn’t participated for two years and is eager to get back. “It’s good exposure for our group as a whole,” he said. “We’re all independently owned restaurants, and we’re a diverse group. And in one night you can taste not only the food offerings but understand the concept and thoughts that went into the development of the restaurants that make up our group.” The gala will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased at www.dineoriginalscolumbus.com. Some tickets might be available on the day of the event and may be purchased at the door. Proceeds benefit Dine Originals Columbus and the Buckeye Ranch, which provides mental-health treatment and alcohol and drug services for children with behavioral or psychological and substance-abuse disorders. “We’re blessed to be part of the event for four years,” said Michelle Aro, development coordinator at the Buckeye Ranch. “The partnership we’ve built with the Columbus Dine Originals group has been fantastic. They’ve been a wonderful group to work with.” The event has been moved from the Smith Bros’ Hardware Co. building downtown because it simply outgrew the space, said
Katharine Moore, executive director of the local chapter of Dine Originals. The Audubon Center, on the Whittier Peninsula, provides a modern backdrop with attractive surroundings, she said. “We thought it really complemented our messaging and mission because they are green and our members have that commonality,” Moore said. “It’s such a beautiful oasis in downtown Columbus that people don’t know about. So it’s fun for us to introduce that venue to a whole new crowd. In addition to food, more than 30 vineyards will be represented, as well as local breweries and micro distilleries. One of those is Watershed Distillery, just outside Grandview Heights. “We are excited to be a part of it,” Greg Lehman, co-founder of the company, said of the celebration. “I think it’s a good way for us to be involved locally.” A silent auction will feature cooking lessons, private dinners, special events, art and rare bottles of wine. Moore said chefs look forward to showing off their talents and mixing with the crowd. “They have fun riffing off each other,” she said. “They’re very competitive on what they put out. But they’re there to talk to their customers in a way that they just don’t have the opportunity to on a busy Saturday night.”

Chix & Fries will offer grilled chicken tenders, fried boneless tenders and chicken wings and french fries, plus four or five signature sauces and sandwiches.

Two hundred years ago, people often traded items for land instead of paying with money because there wasn’t a nationally accepted currency. But the children of that time period still played with dolls and farmers still were trying to grow enough crops to feed people, New Albany Middle School students learned last week during their tour of the Ealy House in New Albany. “I was mostly surprised that they actually had some of the stuff we have,” said sixth-grader Ben Noonan. The students toured the Ealy House through a partnership with the New Albany-Plain Township Historical Society, which has refurbished the historic structure and is now trying to share it with the community. “The items in the house are mostly artifacts from our early community,” said Marilyn Regrut, the historical society’s president. Regrut said after working to restore the 1860 home, the historical society has held open houses and has invited students to take tours of the home. “Personally, I want to make the house available to whatever needs present themselves,” she said. “We really want to make it available and we’re trying our very best to meet the needs and schedules of educators and teachers.” The historical society opened the Ealy House the first week of April to local teachers and administrators from New AlbanyPlain Local Schools and the Columbus Jewish Day School to show them the potential learning environment. The first school tour after that included 130 sixthgraders from New Albany Middle School. During their April 28 tour of the homes, the students learned that the land the home was built on was not purchased because of the lack of a national currency. Mayor Nancy Ferguson, who is a member of the historical society, said John Ealy had to trade to obtain the land. “In olden days, they didn’t have one form of national currency so you had to trade to get food, wood and land,” Ferguson said. Walking through the house, the students saw a kitchen that had no sink, no stove and no refrigerator. Historical society member Marilyn Saveson explained to the students the challenges people faced bringing water in for

burning stove. Ferguson said the Ealy House was known for having a new amenity for the times, with woodburning stoves in each room instead of regular fireplaces. “They were using new technology in heating their rooms with wood-burning stoves,” she said. The small closets upstairs reflected the fact that most people at the time had two sets of everyday clothes and two sets of Sunday clothes, Regrut said. The students also got to see antique tools in the basement. Historical society member John Saveson explained that the basement was a very useful room because it was used to prepare food and store crops for future use. Ferguson explained how one room, the parlor, was kept especially nice for guests. The parlor
dows and around a fireplace mantle, she said. “The woodwork was astonishing, the way it was carved,” Noonan said. The home also has a passthrough from the kitchen to the dining room where food and dishes could be passed back and forth. The pass-through was disguised as a cupboard in both rooms. “I thought it was cool that they had a cupboard that opened on the other side,” said sixth-grader Prapti Dalal. “We should have that today to get dishes and stuff.” Sixth-grade teacher April Hyer said the students in her class and the rest of the classes in her team at the middle school read “New Albany: A Kid-Sized History,” a children’s history book written by New Albany High School senSee TOUR, page B4

Wexler receives inaugural award
Trundle appointed to JRST review board
Dr. Randall Wexler of New Albany has received the inaugural Physician Advocate Award from the Ohio State Medical Association. The award recognizes a physician who provides clinical treatment to his or her patients by advocating at the local, state and federal levels for the wellbeing of the medical profession, patients and communities in which he or she serves. Wexler has served on the OSMA Focused Task Force on state legislation since 2005 and as its chair from 2006 until Randall Wexler March of this year. Some of the legislation he has testified in favor of on behalf of the OSMA includes the elimination of mandatory referrals for dermatologist appointments and mandatory coverage for diabetes patients. Wexler practices at Gahanna Family Medicine Center and is an assistant professor of family medicine in The Ohio State University Department of Family Medicine. He attended medical school at Wright State University and completed residency training and a fellowship in family medicine at Mount Carmel Medical Center in Columbus. He also has a master’s degree in public health from OSU.
Kathy Cabe Trundle of New Albany was recently appointed to the Journal of Research in Science Teaching (JRST) editorial review board. JRST publishes scholarly manuscripts for science education researchers on issues of science teaching, learning and policy. Trundle is an associate professor of teaching and learning in the College of Education and Human Ecology at The Ohio State University. Her research in instructional science practice was awarded $82,500 in funding from the Ohio Board of Regents Kathy Cabe for the OSU Earth and Space Trundle Science Institute. Trundle was also the co-investigator for “Effective Collaboration to Enrich STEM Programs in Rural Ohio,” which received $182,463 from the Ohio Board of Regents. She was honored as the 2008 Outstanding Science Teacher Educator of the Year by the Association for Science Teacher Education. Trundle is the author or co-author of more than 70 books and manuscripts in referred journals, along with more than 30 referred abstracts, bulletins and papers.
ior Alison Underhill for her senior seminar project. Underhill visited the classrooms and talked to the students about the area’s history, which is why Hyer decided to schedule the Ealy House tour. “It definitely ties into socialstudies principles even though we’re not studying American history this year,” Hyer said. “But it’s a nonfiction book about New Albany and this part of town and I’ve been surprised at the number of kids who’ve never been here.” The historical society is open to partnering with schools on more tours. Hyer said this one was so successful she’d like to make it an annual event. “It’s something I’d like to do every year because the kids really enjoy it,” she said. Because of the Ealy House’s location on Dublin-Granville Road, the students were able to walk to and from the house April 28. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Football
New Albany duo to play at FCS schools By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The New Albany High School football team had two more players sign letters of intent on April 28 to play in college on the Division I level. Bryant Bednarek, who played safety and quarterback, signed with Davidson and Kashton Foley, a defensive end, signed with Butler. Both schools are members of the Pioneer Football League and play in the Football Championship Subdivision, formerly Divi-
sion I-AA. “When I think of both of these guys, I think about hard work. Not only working hard to be 10-1, but working hard to be accepted into universities like Butler and Davidson,” said Eagles coach Mark Mueller, whose team was 10-1 overall last season and won the OCCCapital Division at 7-0. Another member of the team, 6-foot5, 285-pound offensive lineman Vinnie Cordova, previously committed to Eastern Illinois. Bednarek held off his college deci-
sion as he investigated options at Ivy League schools, but as those didn’t pan out, he started looking elsewhere. He eventually narrowed his choices to Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh and Davidson in Davidson, N.C. Davidson, which is about 20 miles north of Charlotte, won out with solid curricula in engineering and economics. It also helped he liked the campus. “Davidson wasn’t really on my radar,” Bednarek said. “I only applied because (Mueller) told me to. Then I went on a visit and absolutely fell in
love with the school and area. It’s such a great academic institution and the weather, a combination of all that did it.” After leading New Albany with five interceptions as a junior, the 6-2, 198pound Bednarek took over as the starting quarterback last season. He passed for 1,018 yards with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions in leading the Eagles to their first playoff appearance in four seasons. New Albany lost to Dresden Tri-Valley 30-27 in overtime in the first round of the Division II
playoffs. “The biggest thing we’re going to miss about Bryant is his leadership,” Mueller said. “He’s one of the best that we’ve ever had at New Albany. He’s not the fastest kid on the team, but he probably won 95 percent of the sprints just with pure hustle and effort.” The 6-5, 205-pound Foley started to make a name for himself during the 2009 season when Harrison Scott, a 2010 graduate who plays at Indiana, See FOOTBALL, page C2

Girls lacrosse team focused on postseason By FRANK DiRENNA

ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Columbus Academy girls lacrosse team has turned its attention to the Division II South/Central regional tournament. The Vikings have a first-round bye and will play May 19 against the winner of the DeSales-Hilliard Bradley game May 16. Academy plays at DeSales on Thursday, May 5. “We’re getting ready for the tournament,” coach Anne Horton said. “We’re working hard being able to develop a small game and handle the pressure and taking care of business. We’re moving forward.” The Vikings close out the regular season with games at home against Columbus School for Girls on Tuesday, May 10, and Watterson on May 12, and at Worthington Kilbourne on May 13. Academy was 7-1-1 before playing Thomas Worthington on May 3. The Vikings played two games April 30 at Shaker Heights Laurel, beating the host team 8-6 and tying Hudson Western Reserve Academy at 7. Against Laurel, Meredith McCloud and Allie Roehrenbeck each had two goals. Goalkeeper Sarah Wilson made 12 saves. Roehrenbeck had three goals against Western Reserve and Wilson made eight saves. “We proved (April 30) that we’re tough,” Horton said. “We had to come back in both of those games. We were down 4-1 in both of those games at half-

Academy and Bexley were tied for first in the division at 3-0. The teams began their regular-season match on April 26 at Academy, but it was suspended because of bad weather and resumed on May 4. First-place will be determined in the MSL tournament on Saturday, May 7, at Academy. “We’ve gotten better,” coach Jeff Warstler said. “We’ve improved, but we still have a lot of things to work on; we still have a lot of things to play for. I’m hoping that within the last week or so we’ve started to turn the corner. You want to peak at the right time. We really want to take this out on a real positive note.” The Vikings entered the week 6-6 overall and ranked sixth in the first Division II state poll. Bexley is ranked third in Division II. “We’re respected because we play everyone,” Warstler said. “We don’t back away from anybody. The fact that our schedule is pretty vicious, I think we gain respect there.”

on football. He also considered Pioneer League members Dayton and Valparaiso but Butler, which is in Indianapolis, won out after Foley visited with coaches and faculty at its business school. “We ruled out all the (Division II) schools once we had interest from schools like Butler,” Foley said of the decision process that included his parents. “The football helped get me in and now I can academically pursue stuff while pursuing my dreams on the field.” Neither player is joining a team that had great success last season. Butler was 4-6 overall and 26 in the PFL behind champion Dayton, which was 10-1 overall and 8-0 in the league. Davidson was 3-8 overall and 3-5 in the PFL.
had to miss a game at defensive end for a rules violation. Foley stepped in as his replacement and his prep career took off. He became one of the Eagles’ top pass rushers through the 2010 season, when he was part of a defense that held opposing rushers to fewer than four yards per carry. The Eagles allowed fewer than 11 points per game while scoring 34 per game last season. “Kashton got on the field as a junior and never came off the field since then,” Mueller said. “It was that one skipped class (by Scott) that opened up the door of opportunity for him.” Several colleges started showing interest in Foley after his junior season, prompting him to stop playing basketball to concentrate full time www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

They’ll also play a non-league game against Gahanna at home on Saturday, May 7. “It’ll be good as we try to get ready for the tournament,” said Krebs, whose team advanced to a regional final last spring while competing in Division I for the first time. “We have a lot of games left; that’ll really help as we prepare.” Getting the pitching lined up for the postseason is one thing the Eagles will be focusing on. Through 16 games, Wynston McMartin was 4-0 and Parsons was 2-1 even though none of the pitchers has been throwing regularly because of bad weather. Shane Kriss, who has become New Albany’s go-to relief pitcher, was 3-0. Austin Morlan was 2-0 and Ray VanBoven 2-2. “One (McMartin) had 10 days off (without pitching) and another (Parsons) had seven,”
Below are the recent results and coming schedule for the New Albany baseball team: *April 18 — Defeated Franklin Heights 8-3. Ray VanBoven pitched a complete game.

Westerville finishes 2nd in Governor’s Cup By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
In the midst of a spring season in which numerous regattas throughout the Midwest were canceled or suspended before completion, the Governor’s Cup Regatta held April 30 on Griggs Reservoir gave central Ohio’s four crews a long-awaited opportunity to get in a full day of rowing competition. Dublin was forced to spend more time than usual preparing the course in the days leading up to the event, but girls coach Gina Crooks believes it was worth it. “I think every day last week we moved at least one tree out of the water,” Crooks said. “On (April 29) we moved three or four. We also had some issues with the water being high, but (April 29) was almost perfect. Luckily, we got everything done in time because it was scheduled to storm every day last week through last Thursday.” The Cincinnati Junior Rowing Club won its third consecutive Governor’s Cup, scoring 234.5 points as 18 teams scored. Westerville was second (172), Upper Arlington finished fourth (103) and Dublin placed eighth (44). Hilliard, which has only girls, did not score. •Despite having their team finish second and score in 12 events at the Governor’s Cup, Westerville boys and girls coaches Matt and Trish Chase believe there is work to be done over the coming weeks. Westerville next will compete in the Midwest Junior Rowing Championships on May 21-22 on Lake Harsha in Batavia, where it has aspirations of sending several boats to the US Rowing Youth Nationals in June. In the Governor’s Cup, the girls lightweight 8 (8 minutes, 5.64 seconds) and the girls second novice 8 (8:28.29) both were first. The girls first novice 8 (8:17.88), the boys lightweight 4 (7:07.11) and the girls first varsity 4 (8:17.97) all were second. The girls first varsity 4 featured Tatiana Lundstrom, Victoria Langwasser, Lindsey Brown, Ashley Bauer and coxswain Amanda Poll. Alex Sawatzki was coxswain for the girls lightweight 8 that finished first, although there were only two boats that competed in the final. “We felt good about getting second place (as a program),”
Trish Chase said. “Our novices did real well, but our heavyweight women did not fare so well.” “This weekend was a bit of a disappointment for the men’s varsity squad,” Matt Chase said. “After the regatta, all of the teams huddled up and said that hopefully we’ll become a rowing team now. Hopefully we can have some good weather, make up for lost time and get some boats into nationals.” Earlier in the week before the Governor’s Cup, Bauer and Ben Leonard from the boys team were chosen for the Junior National Team selection camp, which will be held for two weeks beginning June 14. The girls camp will be held in Princeton, N.J., and the boys camp will be in Kent, Conn. Each camp will consist of 36 athletes, of which 18 then will be selected for the Junior National team that will compete in the World Championships in England this summer. •Upper Arlington girls coach Andy Wimmer was pleased with his team’s performance in the Governor’s Cup. The Golden Bears’ first novice 8 was first (7 minutes, 44.15 seconds), the first varsity 8 was third (7:20.32) and the second novice 8 was third (8:49.82). Zoe Ribar stroked the first varsity 8 boat, which also featured Emory Bergdall, Ashley Williams, Olivia Miltner, Grace Tucker, Kate Lowes, Angelina Caradonna and Ceri Turner and coxswain Summers Hammel. “We were actually pretty pleased across the board,” Wimmer said. “The biggest thing is that it was our first actual full regatta. Our first varsity 8 finished third out of 17 entries, which is a pretty strong finish for us, and with our novice 8 boat, it was really just sheer domination. Our novice 8 boat completely ran away with it.” For the boys team, the second varsity 4 was first (7:30.25), the second varsity 8 was third (7:00.74), the second novice 8 was fourth (8:37.62), the lightweight 8 was third (6:46.31), the first novice 8 was fourth (7:54.89) and the first varsity 8 was fifth (6:58.91). •Dublin was led in the Governor’s Cup by its girls second varsity 4, which finished first in 8 minutes, 26.03 seconds. Bailey Irelan stroked the second varsity 4, which also featured Tess Cassidy, Maddie Ire-
lan and Maddie Irelan and coxswain Abbey Marsh. Placing fifth for the girls were the first varsity 8 (7:45.08) and the second varsity 8 (8:07.87). “We were not expecting such an awesome finish to (the second varsity 4),” Crooks said. “We had four out of our six varsity boats qualify for finals and we did have a couple of novice boats medal.” For the boys team, the first novice 8 was third (7:54.56) and the lightweight 4 placed fifth (7:26.59). Griffin Fillman stroked the lightweight 4 boat, which also featured Luke Neuroth, Mac Workman, Spencer Grisvard and coxswain David Bellman. “I thought it went pretty well,” boys coach Jared Crooks said. “Our lightweight 4 made it to finals and then finished fifth out of 18 entries. We set a goal of making it to the finals, and we made that goal.” •Hilliard will compete in its final regatta of the spring on Saturday, May 7, when it travels to Hamilton for the Burgundy and Blue Youth Regatta. The squad had three boats compete in the Governor’s Cup but did not score. The first varsity 8 was fifth (8 minute, 18.67 seconds) in the third heat, the first varsity 4 was fifth (9:54.33) in the third heat and the novice 4 was third (10:11.64) in Flight 1. Senior Paige Holcomb stroked the first varsity 8 and the first varsity 4, and junior Jessica Takos stroked the novice 4. According to coach Jackie Ruetenik, senior Morgan Staric has been a strong leader this spring. “We had an injury and had to have a coxswain row in two of our races,” Ruetenik said. “We didn’t do well, but I was pleased with their attitudes. Morgan Staric has been really great and really invested. She’s got a great attitude. It helps me a lot that she can kind of direct them and help with what we’re doing in practice.” Because of the wedding photography business that she and her husband, Doug Trieber, run, Ruetenik said she won’t be coaching the team next year. Caitlin Flowers, a former rower for Marietta College who has been assisting this spring, is expected to take over. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

self that I can achieve my best, and when I won in California at the nationals last summer, it felt amazing and I strive to achieve that feeling again. “I have grown to really love track. I love the freedom you get when you are out on the track. It is so much about you and how you have trained and how you have used the support you have received. Running is fun and what a chance it has given me to meet people all over the world. It has opened so many doors for me and it has given me the confidence I need to do well in life. Through sports you learn to not get discouraged and to use anything negative that happens for motivation to get better. I love to race and have great respect for everyone that competes with me.” Those who have watched Cordell run this year can tell you that she has plenty of competition — it’s just usually running behind her. I’ll see you at a meet.
never stopped. When I finished fourth in the state as a freshman it boosted my confidence, and winning the event the next year was the most exciting sports moment of my life because I was part of a state championship team at Reynoldsburg and it was the end of an amazing season. “Last year was a major disappointment at the state championship meet. I had illnesses with a sinus infection last spring and my confidence was down when I ran in the 800 final. Then I fell with about 150 yards left in the race and didn’t finish, which makes me more determined than ever to get my title back this year. I think about it all the time.” Cordell not only wants to win the 800 state title, she wants to do it in convincing fashion. “Not only do I want to get my 800 title back, I want to do it by demolishing the state record,” she said. “I want to get to 2:08 or better and that pushes me all the time in practice, and what will Larry Larson is a former athletics director at probably determine my success will be my men- Grandview High School.
