Firm won’t audit Grove City books By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers The firm originally contracted to review Grove City’s books is no longer doing an audit, city spokesman Don Walters said. GBQ Consulting instead has shifted its focus to administrative practices and

procedures to prevent future thefts or trouble with the Internal Revenue Service. “They attempted to do the audit in January, but it never got off the ground because the police had all the pages and pages of documents and they were protecting them … as part of a criminal investigation,” Walters said.

GBQ is still contracted for as much as $20,000 of work for Grove City, he said. In addition, the Grove City police had called in the state auditor’s office for a special forensic audit, which will cost the city about $40,000. At that time, the city had paid GBQ a $3,000 retainer, and the company had performed an initial re-

view of the city’s procedures. “They went into limbo, but then we just commissioned them, since the purchase order is open and they’d done some preliminary work on things, we said, ‘Now is the time to look at our funds and cash handling procedures,’” Walters said. In addition, GBQ is reviewing the way the city reconciles its books and is work-

ing on the books from the past six months to make sure that all numbers match up. City council president Ted Berry said he doesn’t support spending additional money on audits — either procedural or financial — until the state auditor’s office presents its report. See FIRM WON’T, page A11

The South-Western school board on May 9 received an update on the governor’s proposed twoyear budget.

The proposal continues to undergo revisions in the Ohio Legislature. “We’re still really watching the personal tangible property tax and what goes on with that,” Garside said. “Our current replacement of those dollars is about $12 million a year. It’s a big number for us.” Under the current budget proposal, the state would accelerate a planned multi-year phase-out of the tangible personal property tax reimbursed to districts, meaning schools would lose millions sooner than they anticipated. Garside expects, as do many others, that the legislature won’t act on a final budget until around June 30. By law, a budget must be in place by July 1. He earlier said Garside said the district might lose about $9 million in state aid in next year’s budget, as well as the end of about $6.4 million in one-time federal stimulus money. The South-Western board approved the creation of two funds to handle the school construction funds funneled through the Ohio School Facilities Commission. Garside said prior to the meeting that

Weekly cruise-ins benefit food bank By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers Classic car lovers can fuel their hobby and feed the hungry simultaneously during cruise-ins in Grove City. No registration fee or admission

will be charged for Grove City CruiseIns, held once a week during the summer. Instead, participants and attendees are asked to bring a canned good or other non-perishable food item to donate to the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. Those who have taken part in the event in the past should note that it’s

being held on a different day and at a different location than in the past, said organizer Tim Templin. The cruise-ins will be held from 5-10 p.m. Thursdays,k May 10 to Sept. 29, at Talita’s Mexican Kitchen, 3090 Southwest Blvd. Templin started planning the cruise-

Memorial Day parade to honor veterans May 30 By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers Local veterans and members of the military will be honored at Grove City’s annual Memorial Day parade May 30. The parade is sponsored by the American Legion Paschall Post 164 and Veterans of Foreign Wars 8198. It will begin

at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 3730 Broadway, said Ed Bowles, commander of the local American Legion post. The parade will form at about 10 a.m., Bowles said. The parade will move south along Broadway to City Hall, 4035 Broadway, for a short ceremony, and will continue to Grove City Cemetery, 3605

DIRECTORY

Grove City Road, for a Memorial Day service. Parade participants will include the honor guard from the Jackson Township Fire Department and choirs from both Grove City High School and Central Crossing High School, as well as the Reserve Officer Training Corps from both schools.

“Memorial Day is more of a somber occasion. It’s to remember the people who have done a lot for us. … What we’re trying to do is honor those who have helped us in the past,” Bowles said. “It’s unimaginable until you see all the flags in the cemetery. I can’t believe how many men and women have served. ... It’s a time to thank them for what

they’ve done for us.” The service, beginning around 11:30 a.m., will include a brief speech from state Rep. Cheryl Grossman (R-Grove City), as well as the naming of the parade’s grand marshal and the Legionnaire of the year. See MEMORIAL DAY, page A11

School board hears state budget update Continued from page A1 creation of the funds is a legal requirement. The bonds will pay for a variety of district needs during the next several years, including replacing boilers at eight schools and installing upgraded lighting at all the high, middle and intermediate schools and two elementary schools. The board also: • Approved hiring Jennifer Vonins as principal at Buckeye Woods Elementary School. Vonins currently works for the Pickaway County Educational Service Center and serves as cur-

riculum director for the Teays Valley Local School District. She told the board she is excited about her new challenge as a principal. Vonins received a two-year contract, effective Aug. 1, and will be paid $78,642 a year. • Was told that the district will hold its first auction of aged vehicles and unneeded equipment in nearly two years. The auction will be June 13 at the district’s transportation garage. No time has been set. Mark Waller, the district’s property services coordinator, said after the meeting that up to 24 old buses and several maintenance

vehicles will be auctioned, along with about a dozen snow blowers, shop equipment and other unneeded items. He said money raised by auctions typically is put in the general fund. • Honored Westland High School sophomore Jiewen Wu, one of 11 students across the country to be named a 2011 Read 180 All Star by Scholastic Education. Wu received a $1,200 scholarship from Scholastic Education. Victoria Blubaugh, who teaches English as a second language at Westland, received $1,000 to pay for educational materials for her classroom. • Heard comments from dis-

trict critic Terry Jones, who said school districts should embrace Senate Bill 5, the recently passed legislation that restricts collective bargaining by public employees in Ohio. “I support S.B. 5,” he told the board. “It gives school districts a little better chance to deal with unions. I would like to see a little more fair playing field ... to deal with unions for cost-savings

things.” Senate Bill 5 likely will face a referendum vote in November. Public-employee unions throughout the state are seeking more than 231,000 signatures in a petition drive to have the referendum placed on the ballot. Two South-Western unions — one representing teachers and the other administrators — approved new contracts during the past year.

Weekly cruise-ins benefit Mid-Ohio Foodbank good item, it doesn’t cost anything,” Templin said. “Just come, their wives, they could go inside hang out, have a good time and for ice cream and there are plen- meet some new people.” This year’s official cruise-in ty of stores nearby.” Templin has used the parking lot behind Steak and Shake and had to run an electric cable across a small side street to power the speakers that played oldies. It was a safety issue and also made it hard for passers-by to see the cruise-in. “A lot of people came looking for us and when they looked at the parking lot (in front) they didn’t see us,” Templin said. The group hopes the new location at Talita’s will provide better visibility and increased participation. From 25 to 30 classic cars are expected at the weekly cruise-ins. “Talita’s has an outlet right in front and I’m going to plug in the equipment right in there and blare out our ’50s and ’60s music,” he said. Templin has been interested in classic cars since he was a child, growing up in the south Dayton area, where his father worked for General Motors. Templin currently owns a 1961 Pontiac Tempest station wagon. He decided to start the cruise-in to make new friends and keep up with others after he moved to Grove City from Grandview. “It’s a lot of fun. We’ve made a lot of good friends over the last couple years,” he said. The idea of using the events as a fundraiser for the food bank came when an acquaintance of Templin’s was struggling financially. “His kids were on one of the assistance programs. They got free lunch for their kids, and he was saying that in the summer, it was harder to stretch their food dollars out because (the kids) were home and (the family) was having to go the food bank to supplement,” Templin said. Other families are in the same situation every summer, and the food bank needs more food to fill the need, he explained. Even with last summer’s rainy weather, the group donated more than 800 pounds of canned goods. A few years ago, they donated more than 2,000 pounds. “There are different car shows that benefit a lot of different groups, but the nice thing about ours is that other than a canned Continued from page A1

kick off is scheduled for May 19 and will feature cake and coffee. For more information, call Templin at (614) 539-5336 or email GCCruise_in@yahoo.com.

About 950 classified employees, including bus drivers and foodservice workers, have been working without a contract since June 30. Superintendent Bill Wise said before the meeting no news has emerged from contract negotiations with the Ohio Association of Public School Employees, which represents those workers. Both sides last met before a federal mediator on April 9.

Commentary & opinion

As it were

‘Flytown’ played host to large spring carnival in Columbus 100 years ago People have been celebrating the arrival of spring for a long time. Even before civilizations began with written records more than 5,000 years ago, people emerged from their homes and reveled in the fact that the cold, wet darkness of winter was gone. The flowers were back and so was the promise of a better day. In Columbus, 100 years ago, people celebrated the arrival of spring in a number of ways. At Indianola Park, at 19th and North Fourth streets, a kite-flying contest was held. At local dance halls and roller rinks, special evenings were held to attract both regular and casual visitors. In Flytown, it was the annual spring carnival. First, perhaps a brief word about Flytown might be in order. Every city of any size has its “entry point” neighborhoods. These are the places where people of little or moderate means

could find housing and stores to purchase inexpensive food, clothing and the other necessities of life. ED When CoLENTZ lumbus was a small Midwestern capital city of several hundred residents, the poor lived along the river or near one of the ravines created by creeks passing through the downtown while the criminal element had a modest “thieves market” near what is now the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Long Street. A hundred years later in 1911, Columbus was a major center of transportation and trade, as well as a major manufacturing center. Perhaps it should not be too surprising that the entry neigh-

borhoods of Columbus — and there were a few in 1911 — had grown up around the factory areas, where a lot of work might be found. In the far south end of the city, near the steel mills, was the Steelton area. On the near west side was the Middletown neighborhood near old Franklinton. And on the north side, near Goodale Park to the east and the factories that lined the Olentangy to the west, was Flytown. No one seemed to know why exactly it was called Flytown. One theory held that the area of modest homes and poorly drained streets literally “flew up” overnight. Another noted that the area was the home of many people who were living “on the fly.” Of course, there was the notion that the area had a lot of houseflies. See FLYTOWN, page A5

Columbus2020!

International business community will see Columbus as opportunity We’ll leave no stone unturned in our effort to attract, retain and add jobs in the Columbus region. That includes reaching out globally and leveraging our great business connections throughout the world. We must think and act globally to make an impact locally. It’s no surprise that the Columbus region must compete for business beyond U.S. borders. The Columbus2020! team travels the globe to identify these opportunities. Attracting business and supporting international business interests in the region is the job of Deborah Scherer, director of Columbus2020! global markets. Under her direction, our team first will reach out to the nearly 300 foreign-owned businesses in our region and travel to Israel, Canada, India, China, Germany and several other European countries this year alone. It must be said that Japanese companies, led by Honda and its many suppliers, remain in our thoughts and prayers. We likely will visit Japan in the fall and continue to do all we can to strengthen our relationships with the many Japanese companies that provide so many good jobs across the Columbus region. When visiting our international contacts, we will tackle a full schedule of objectives. The first target is to visit headquarters of our existing businesses to thank them for investment in our region and to explore opportunities for expansion of their businesses. Second, we want to speak to companies doing business in the United States but without current facilities or people on the ground. Finally, it is important to meet with advisers and international business organizations that could spread the word that the Columbus region is a dynamic business location for international companies. We will do just that in a few weeks when our team travels to Germany and Israel. In February, our team traveled as part of a delegation to India, and the contacts made there are starting to foster interest in our

region. Together with Franklin County, we led a team to New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, BangaKENNY lore and the MCDONALD Columbus sister city, Ahmedabad. We were able to represent a cross section of the region’s leading industries, including financial services, information technology, legal and education. Participants included the city of Columbus, Columbus Sister Cities International, Ohio State University, Jones Lang Lasalle, Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter, Bluemile Inc. and SGI Global Business Advisors. India is home to a growing number of companies looking to international markets for growth, and the U.S. market is tops on their lists. Over 10 days, our mission generated more than 40 meetings, resulting in new and strengthened relationships, business-development opportunities and institutional relationships that will benefit the region both economically and academically. Since returning from our trip, nearly 10 India-based companies have expressed an interest in visiting Columbus.

Our objective for each economic development action, whether as a meeting with many of our great companies in the region or a visit abroad, is to generate more foreign direct investment, more jobs and more global connections. To do that effectively, we must continue to invest in these efforts month after month and year after year. When we travel to Germany and Israel, our goal will be to create awareness of the Columbus area and its many assets. Our region’s growing talent base, work ethic, logistics and technology strengths, established industry sectors and easy market access are just some of the reasons that international businesses thrive here. We will continue to demonstrate why the Columbus area makes sense as a location for their U.S. business operations. International business is a key part of our economic diversity in Columbus, and it is a natural extension of our efforts to develop jobs and investment here. We are proud to represent such a robust region and are excited about our appointments around the world. Kenny McDonald is chief economic officer for Columbus2020!

‘Flytown’ played host to large spring carnival Continued from page A4 In any case, by 1911, Flytown was the home of several hundred people of various nationalities with little income and a variety of medical, social and economic concerns. Since the end of the previous century, help had been provided by Godman Guild. Formed with the financial help of shoe magnate H.C. Godman, the guild was one of the oldest and more successful settlement houses in the city. Each year, one of the reasons for that success was its spring carnival. Called “Skada Doings,” the event was sponsored by the Guild and the West Goodale

Street Improvement Association. A local paper praised Godman Guild and noted, “There is the city’s best cosmopolitanism because a dozen nationalities meet there under the guiding spirit of a common mixture of cooperative needs. As an evidence of this cooperation, the actual services of 150 members of the Guild and the spirit of many hundreds of other members will combine … in the Guild’s annual carnival.” After paying an admission price of 10 cents, a visitor to the carnival was treated to a variety of attractions. “Every room in the Guild house will have its show,” the paper reported. “In addition, there

will be a big circus tent on the west side of the Guild house and a tent on the east side in which there will be an Italian village in which refreshments will be served. This feature will be presided over by the many girls of the cooking classes which … have been getting ready to serve many toothsome dishes, every one of them strictly homemade. Tea will also be served.” Accompanying the food service was “a real Italian band under the direction of Signor Cincione, who has been a member of many concert bands of national fame.” Some of the major attractions of the carnival were the circus acts performed in the big tent.

Among them were “the clown troupe made up of a boys club at the Guild.” Acrobatic stunts also were performed by instructors from the local YMCA, and a Guild staff member performed as the circus strongman. Then there were the boxers. “John Albanese, well-known in pugilistic circles, will pull off a six-round boxing exhibition with his sparring partners,Young Joe Thomas and Cyclone Sully. This show, which will be patronized by scores of Johnny’s admirers, promises to get a cartload or two of nickels for the carnival treasury. Arizona Pete will be there, too.” Members of a boys club were unanimously in favor

of a hoorah “wild west,” so they came together and skimmed the cream from some of the literary works of some of their favorite authors, and a thrilling western melodrama, “The Western Way,” was the result. Thomas Gifford, assisted by Clark Constance, was the official trainer for the cowboys and Indians. And how, one might wonder, were all of the proceeds of the carnival to be spent? “During the two evenings of the various shows, $1,000 is expected to be raised for the equipment and operation of the summer athletic field. A site has been leased just west of the Goodale Street bridge.

“Several baseball diamonds, volleyball and basketball fields and a running track are to be among the amusements for the boys and men of the Guild.” Presumably, some of the money raised by the carnival was spent for the benefit of the ladies and girls of Godman Guild, as well. In any case, it seems a good time was had by all. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

in the Columbus Children’s Choir weren’t even born when the group was founded 15 years ago. They’ll be around, however, for the choir’s 15th birthday season, which closes with concerts Sunday, May 15, at Capital University’s Mees Hall. The season’s theme has been “The World of Music,” and that theme continues both by virtue of the program itself — which includes music by Canadian and Danish composers, a Chinese folk song, South African freedom song Siyahamba and more — but also the welcoming of guest performers Con Brio children’s choir (3 p.m. performance) and the Columbus International Children’s Choir (7 p.m.). “It’s amazing,” longtime music director Sandra Mathias told The Beat. “We’re really excited. We’ve invited kids back who’ve been with us in all that time” for the concerts. Tickets are $10/$8. Call (614) 220-5555.

Worthington Inn has revamped spring menu MENU

The backs of the rock-tour-apt black T-shirts worn by busboys read: “Local, Fresh and Natural since 1831.” On the restaurant's Twitter feed — near notices by G.A. Benton for its just-released spring menu and a wine dinner featuring grilled quail, ramps and morel mushrooms — was this: “I already know because you’ve seen this cook with wine, sometimes I even add it reviews headline and photos. to the food. (W.C. Fields).” What cheeky But do you take my point? Mention eatery could I be speaking of? OK, you the extraordinary Worthington Inn, and too often people say “great Sunday brunch” and then, as the image of an expensive and vintage joint visited with parents takes hold, the conversation sputters. And that is sad. Yes, the greatingredient- and creative-chef-drivBy Jodi Miller/ThisWeek en Worthington King's Farm chicken entree at the Worthington Inn. Inn exists in the

uppermost echelons of Columbus restaurants, so it can be pricey. And sure, it’s housed in a museum-quality, 19th-century country mansion. But the inn offers some oh-so-good values and isn’t in the least lagging behind our local-ingredient-focused fine-dining scene. If you doubt these things, you’re likely the one lagging. Part of the Worthington Inn’s 2011 spring menu is its revamped pub offerings available in the casual bar area (where terrific jazz bands play on Friday and Saturday evenings) and the front-porch-like patio. From that short food list, the Ohioraised, grass-fed beef Lights Out Burger ($13) was a knockout. Arriving on a toasted, locally baked Stan Evans sesame-seed bun was a lean and mean heavyweight-champion patty with a killer grilled crust. This juicy mauler is brilliant, robed in thick-cut, super-crispy bacon, fun “tobacco onions” (like ungreasy onion straws), arugula, cheddar cheese and a zingy and sweet barbecuetype sauce. In the burger’s corner were

terrific, fresh house-transformed pickles and nifty hand-cut fries. Some extra cheap selections from the pub menu are the thin and snappy-crusted Grilled Flatbreads. These come in either a surprisingly spicy meat version (with hot Italian sausage and banana peppers) or a rich and pungent veggie (with Point Reyes bleu cheese, shiitake mushrooms, spinach and caramelized onions). Both are half-priced during happy hour (3-7 p.m. Monday through Friday), setting you back about $5. At $2.50, the clever Cucumber-Chili Ceviche is always cheap and bursting with light, lively and refreshing flavors. Here, big hunks of cucumber are bathed in fresh lime, a habanero zest heating up and cooling off sprinkles of cilantro. The new dinner menu frequently — and winningly — unites Mediterranean cuisine with Asian flavors and French techniques. Thus a lovely duck appetizer special ($14) presented beautiful, fanned-out pink fowl gently “black tea smoked.” Accompanying the meat was

a neat peanut-buttery noodle salad (with slivered veggies and spicy nuts) plus a not-gloppy sweet chili sauce. Ginger and sesame oil tied together the plate’s clean flavors. Also great was the Spring Lamb ($32). Perfectly grilled, succulent chops were outfitted with fluffy couscous topped with a racy artichoke and harissa ragu, plus the yin and yang of minty tzatziki and sriracha sauces. If you think chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans sound humdrum (they do), try them here and you'll think again. A black-peppery crusted, locally raised free-range half bird (with a deboned thigh) arrived with a rich demi-like morel gravy, tangy spuds and a buttery and pretty succotash of haricots verts, squash and tomatoes. Dessert-wise, the shortcake-like Strawberry Molly ($8) similarly added cheffy verve (and white chocolate mousse) to another spring-flinging favorite. The moral (and morel) of this story: the inn is in.

DiBella’s: Our sandwich bread rises to the occasion So you’re thinking, “Yawn. Not another sub shop.” Indeed, another national sandwich chain has picked Columbus for its next Ohio store. DiBella’s Old Fashioned Submarines, based in Rochester, N.Y., has opened at 4949 Tuttle Crossing Blvd. Adam Burton, chief marketing officer for the company, stresses that DiBella’s is not just another sandwich shop. “Once you try our subs, you’re not going to want anybody else’s,” he said. “Give it a shot. Trust me: It’s better than anything you’ve ever had.”

DiBella’s joins countless other sub shops in the region, both national and homegrown, including Subway, Jersey Mike’s, Quiznos, Penn Station, Jimmy John’s, Potbelly, Charlie’s Grilled Subs, w.g. Grinders and Johnny Buccelli’s. One key difference, Burton said, is the bread. The frozen dough is delivered raw to each of the company’s 21 corporate stores, where it proofs and is baked

on site. Another distinction is that DiBella’s does not toast its subs “because we don’t think that’s fair to our bread,” he said. Similar to other sandwich chains, it offers cold and grilled meats, topped with a choice of cheeses and condiments. Subs come in small (7 inches), medium (10) and large (14). The menu is rounded out with green salads and fresh-baked cookies, chips and pasta, macaroni and potato salads. DiBella’s started as an Italian grocery store in 1918 and began selling subs about 30 years ago. It became a subs-only business 20 years ago and began expanding five years later. “It had a personal feel that really resonated with customers,” Burton said, adding that DiBella’s has 21 stores in four states. The location for the first Columbus store, an outparcel at the main entrance of the Mall at Tuttle Crossing, was chosen because of the high traffic counts, growth in the area and stellar demographics, Burton said. The 4,000-square-foot space formerly was occupied by a Cord Camera. A patterned ceiling, subway-tiled floors, red neon signs, diner-style booths give an “old-school” atmosphere, he said. “From the first step you take in the door, you will notice the difference,” Burton said. “It doesn’t feel like a chain when you come in.” David Kincheloe, president of National Restaurant Consultants, said the fast-casual segment of the industry is flourishing because of the economy. As long as DiBella’s differentiates itself from the throng of current sandwich shops, it can thrive, even in the competitive central Ohio market, he said. “If they’re providing what is perceived by the guest as a true value, they’ll fit in and generate their own kind of market excitement,” he said. DiBella’s is open lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (614) 717-1111.

Vaud-Villities annual show T I L L E R S will â€˜Celebrate!â€™ new locale while Sullivant Hall undergoes renovation. â€œThereâ€™s no growth without struggle,â€? Stuckey said. â€œWeâ€™re now past that phase to where we realize the fruits of our investment and our work.â€? â€œThereâ€™s more to be excited about than to be unhappy about or concerned about,â€? Auch said. â€œThere are so many things that have really worked out well. We didnâ€™t know how successful weâ€™d be being in a totally different area of the city, but a lot of us remember way back when Northland was the place to go.â€? The Morse Road corridor, where the mall was a focal point until it closed in 2002, is now undergoing a major revitalization, the artistic director noted. â€œItâ€™s great to be part of that,â€? Auch said. â€œWe feel very good about what weâ€™ve got here,â€? Stuckey said. The 69th consecutive annual show for Vaud-Villities will not only celebrate the new venue, according to Auch, but also the things all people celebrate, such

While the new facility involves a major investment on the part of Vaud-Villities Productions, Stuckey said that the troupeâ€™s costs willactually be reduced by bringing the entire operation into one location. â€œWe now have a facility that meets all of our rehearsal, warehouse and set shop needs,â€? he said. The lower operating costs, Stuckey added, open up a â€œhuge landscape of new opportunities,â€? including additional productions by Vaud-Villities throughout the year, hosting special events and providing a venue for community activities. In fact, Stuckey said that a Christmas production is being planned and Vaud-Villities will participate in some way in Halloween events at the Northland Performing Arts Center. The Ohio State University Department of Dance, he added, will be using the center for two years

Huge sale a â€˜Valuableâ€™ FREE event for German Village Health Exam By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Itâ€™s spring cleaning â€” German Village style. Village Valuables, described as central Ohioâ€™s largest yard sale, will be held throughout the neighborhood from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 14. â€œIt is a spectacle,â€? longtime participant Jerry Glick said. â€œYou would not believe the things up for sale.â€? Glick said the sale is so big, people often plan their vacations around it. â€œThere are busloads of people who come, even out of state, for this because itâ€™s like 300 yard sales at one time in one neighborhood,â€? he said. Glick and friends will sell everything from furniture to books to Ohio State paraphernalia. Heâ€™ll even have a sailboat â€” well, at least a picture of one. The real thing is docked at Buckeye Lake. Village Valuables started as an add-on to the Haus und Garten Tour but broke off as its own event because it didnâ€™t fit in with the mission of the tour, Glick said.

â€œWe thought it was best to have all your yard sales at once,â€? he said. Pat and Patty Phillips, who live on Lathrop Street, wonâ€™t have anything for sale but intend to take advantage of the deals in the neighborhood. Patty Phillips said itâ€™s a great way for German Village residents to connect over some beverages while also showing off the community. â€œIt is a big social event,â€? she said. â€œItâ€™s one of the biggest events to bring outside people to the village.â€? Itâ€™s also a good time. â€œItâ€™s probably one of the most fun events in the village because you get to â€˜people watchâ€™ to the max,â€? she said. â€œAnd you always get to go around and see what kind of treasures you will find.â€? The event also is good for

â€?

some businesses in the area. A crowd of hungry patrons often begins gathering at Roosterâ€™s on City Park Avenue about an hour before it opens at 11 a.m. â€œUsually people are lined upâ€? to get in, said Brandy Grove, general manager of the restaurant. George Stefanidis, owner of Easy Street CafĂŠ on Thurman Avenue, said he, too, expects a hectic morning and afternoon. â€œItâ€™s busy. Itâ€™s nuts,â€? he said. Easy Street, which opens at 10 a.m., will offer its traditional menu of Greek and American tavern fare, as well as a full complement of brunch items. Stefanidis said heâ€™s happy to be part of the Village Valuables tradition. â€œEverybody looks forward to it,â€? he said.

FIRM WON’T Continued from page A1 “The regular annual audit is going on, which is something that happens every year, and we hired the special office to do additional work,” Berry said. Berry said he has faith in the state auditor’s office and in city finance director Mike Turner to review both the city’s books and its procedures. “Our whole thing was, ‘Why should we pay somebody else to do what we’re already doing?’” Berry said. “We’re paying (the state auditor) to look at other safeguards and things like that. … There’s really no sense in wasting even more money.” Walters said that the city sees GBQ’s review as an added layer of confidence and protection

against future thefts and errors. “This is us trying to make sure that we’ve looked at all of our procedures. As an added net of safety, we had somebody else looking at our procedures. If they find some holes, great, then we plug them,” Walters said. Berry said the state auditor’s review will be of greater value to the city. “I trust the state auditor’s office. They’re the most unbiased organization that we could actually hire, and they told us clear back to 2000 what we should be doing or we should be concerned about, but we’ve ignored that over the years,” Berry said. The city doesn’t need council approval for expenditures less than $30,000, so the call on whether or not to engage GBQ

was ultimately up to city administrator Phil Honsey. In December, the IRS told the city it owed about $685,905 in unpaid payroll withholding taxes. An initial investigation by the city revealed discrepancies in the city’s books beginning in 1999. Mailed notices of the late and unpaid returns were found among files in City Hall. City administrators said they have since changed the way mail is handled, passing it directly to department heads. Grove City officials have determined that $235,311 in city funds remain unaccounted for. That money is the focus of the police investigation, but no charges have been filed as of press time.

MEMORIAL DAY Continued from page A1 Following the memorial service, the public is welcome to attend a potluck lunch at the American Legion, 3363 McDowell Road, Bowles said. “Basically, what we’re trying

to do is bring out the community and let them show that they think about all the people who have done things for them. It’s almost more of a celebration than it is a memorial ceremony,” he said. “I think everyone goes away

feeling good about themselves.” The annual parade never wants for participants or spectators, according to Bowles. “They look forward to it and I think they all enjoy it and that’s good. It says something about people.”

COLUMBUS CREATURE FEATURE Asian Elephants

Hi Kids! Here’s a picture of my friend Phoebe walking around with her son, Beco. She is one of the Asian elephants you can visit at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Learn at the Zoo

Phoebe has lived at the Columbus Zoo since 2002. She is 24 years old and has had three calves. Two of her sons, Bodhi and Beco, live here too. Just like our moms, Phoebe taught Beco and Bodhi how to swim, find food and stay out of harm’s way.

• Keeper for a Day: for ages 13-17 years May: • ZooTots: for ages 18-36 months • Twilight Tours • Family Class: Backyard Birding • ZooKids: for ages 3-5 years • Wild Encounters Tours: for ages • After School at the Zoo: 10 years & up for grades 3 – 7

When they were each about seven months old, she led them into the deep end of the pool where they learned to kick and splash to stay afloat. If they got tired and needed help, she would extend her leg so they could hold on and rest. What a marvelous mom! You can adopt an Asian elephant at www.columbuszoo.org.

Looking Ahead: • Summer Day Camps: for ages 3-5 and grades 1-7 • Family Class: Backyards for Wildlife • Family Night Hikes To register visit: www.columbuszoo.org

Zoo Kid Corner

Adam R. from Grove City, OH Age: 7 Education Program: Home School Adventure Series

• Adam loves coming to the Zoo to see his favorite animal, Hanna, the reticulated python. Hanna lives in our Asia Quest region and can be found lounging in her pool on most days. • Adam also enjoys coming to our Home School Adventure Series. His favorite class topic this year was the rainforest, because Sid, our two-toed sloth, came to visit the class. He watched Sid closely while he hung on his branch eating peaches and eggs. • When asked if he could go anywhere in the world to see an animal in the wild, Adam said Africa to see gorillas. Adam likes watching the gorillas that live at our Zoo play outside on warm days.

Comets look to make run in tourney By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

While Central Crossing High School softball coach Rona Dorsey continues to preach taking things one game at a time, senior Allissa Turkovich said it’s difficult not to look ahead. Going into its May 10 game against Worthington Kilbourne, the Comets were 11-0 in the OCC-Central Division and closing in on the program’s first league title. Central Crossing needed to win one of its three remaining league games against the Wolves, Upper Arlington and Thomas Worthington to clinch at least a share of the title. “One of our major goals is to win the OCCs,” Turkovich said. “By winning the league, we’d show everyone Central Crossing not only has a great band program but a great softball program. We’re not just the underdogs from Grove City.” The Comets have outscored their league opponents 91-12 with four shutouts. Only Kilbourne, which lost to Central Crossing 4-2 on April 13, has come within two runs of the Comets. The Comets, ranked third in last week’s Division I state poll, are the top seed for the district tournament and had a firstround bye. They play host to either Franklin Heights or Logan in the second round on Thursday, May 12. The winner plays Briggs, Lancaster, Westerville North or Whetstone in a district semifinal Tuesday, May 17, at Pickerington Central. Central Crossing lost to Dresden Tri-Valley 5-4 in the second round last year. Senior Lindsay Carmean said she can’t wait for the postseason to start.

“We’re so pumped for the tournament,” said Carmean, whose team defeated DeSales, the second-ranked team in last week’s Division II state poll, 2-1 on May 7. “Every single day, coach tells us to get through one pitch at a time, get through one hit at a time and get through one game at a time, but in the back of our mind it’s, ‘States, states here we come.’” The Comets were clicking defensively and offensively before playing Kilbourne. Savannah Dorsey threw a no-hitter in a 9-0 over Hilliard Darby on May 5 and had onehitters in a 10-0 win over Westland on May 6 and against DeSales. The Comets had five players combine for six home runs against Westland and DeSales and in a 13-5 win over Circleville on May 7. “It’s hard to keep focused, but the reality of the matter is we have to take it one pitch at a time and stay in the here and now,” coach Dorsey said. “That’s all you can really influence. If you play your best right now, eventually you’re going to get there.” •After starting the season 102 and being ranked as high as sixth in the Division I state poll, Grove City struggled against OCC-Ohio opponents as it prepared for the district tournament. The Greyhounds had lost five of seven games before defeating non-league Hilliard Bradley 9-4 on May 7. “Right now, we’re struggling defensively,” coach Ted Williams said. “We’re making key mistakes and it’s costing us runs rather than just bases. “At the beginning of the seaSee SOFTBALL, page C2

Comets ‘being rewarded’ for hard work on field By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Central Crossing High School baseball coach Scott Todd is starting to feel better about his team. Scoring 50 runs while winning three consecutive games will do that.

“Our kids have, throughout this year, gotten better every game,” Todd said. “It’s gotten to a point where things are starting to come together a little bit. The game is starting to click mentally. They are understanding how the game is supposed to be played. It’s not just show up and play, but there are rea-

sons behind what we do as coaches and what we teach. The kids are buying into it. They’ve stayed positive, they’ve worked hard and they’re being rewarded for all their hard work the last couple of games.” The Comets earned their first See BASEBALL, page C3

Central Crossing will compete in the Darby sectional, and Grove City is at the Central site. New Albany dominated the seeds in the Darby sectional, as Sean Yun, Steve Miller and Sam Romanoff are seeded first, second and fourth, respectively, in singles and John Hendrix and Oliver Sybert (first) and Jordan Rabe and Ameen Farwana (third) are two of the top three seeds in doubles.

Ready Roundup

Softball team aiming for another tourney run By JARROD ULREY

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A hot stretch of play amid rough weather had the Ready High School softball team feeling confident about its chances in the Division III district tournament. The Silver Knights were tripped up in a district semifinal last season, but they had advanced to at least a district final during each of the previous nine years. If their recent success is an indicator, they could find themselves back at that level over the coming weeks. After going 5-4 over its first nine games, Ready won six of its next seven, including a 5-2 win over Watterson on May 4 to earn a season sweep of its CCL rival. “We’ve always been fine,” coach Nick Joseph said. “You can’t play two games a week and expect to be playing your best ball. All we needed was a little bit of consistency. They’re all feeling confident, especially after what we did (against Watterson). They did a really good job against a good pitcher.” Included in Ready’s recent surge were a 12-7 win over Hartley on April 26 and a 4-0 win over Licking Valley on April 29. Those teams were ranked fifth and fourth, respectively, in the Division II area coaches poll last week. Better pitching by senior Katie Ardrey was among the key aspects of Ready’s improved play.

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Ready baseball, softball, boys tennis and track & field teams: BASEBALL April 27 — Lost to Fisher Catholic 16-11 April 28 — Lost to Jonathan Alder 6-1 April 29 — Defeated Fairbanks 9-3 April 30 — Def.

Offensively, Dani Pugh (.506 batting average with 29 RBI through 16 games), Erin Bennett (.480), Sam Curry (19 RBI) and Ardrey (22 walks) all have been among the key contributors. “It was never Katie’s fault,” Joseph said of Ardrey’s performance in the circle. “This is the first year I’ve called pitches, and she’s done whatever I’ve asked.”

The Silver Knights were seeded eighth for the district tournament and opened the postseason May 9 against Linden-McKinley. The winner was to play May 11 against Madison Plains or London, with the victor advancing to a district semifinal Monday, May 16, at Pickerington Central against third-seeded Mount Gilead, East Knox or Marion

Elgin. The district final is Wednesday, May 18, at Pickerington Central, where top-seeded Liberty Union could be looming. Ready was scheduled to play Liberty Union on April 2 and Mount Gilead on April 16, but both games were canceled because of bad weather. •The baseball team entered the post- julrey@thisweeknews.com season aiming to reach a Division III www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

that added some pressure. Stephen was unbeaten at third singles. “But in the end, the boys were hungry for a third straight OCC title and they really stepped up to the challenge. Now we’ve got a greater sense of accomplishment.” Gahanna’s Sam Raybuck moved from first doubles to third singles and defeated Pickerington Central’s Sanjeev Kolli 6-4, 6-3 to complete the singles sweep. Gahanna’s Jesse Shivener defeated Hemphill 61, 6-1 for his third consecutive title at first singles, and Gahanna’s Canyon Teague defeated Central’s Dallas Stang 6-0, 6-0 to repeat as second-singles champion. “Sam did a great job filling in and responding well,” Schwinnen said. “By bumping him up, that rearranged our doubles lineups on both courts and they also adjusted and played well.” Gahanna reached the final on both doubles courts before rain suspended play. The doubles finals were scheduled to be completed May 9. Daniel Emoff and Alex Gavrilov were playing Prewitt and Bhaerman in the final at first doubles, and Sam Sobul and Billy Smith were playing North’s Alex Bartsch and Ben Keen in the second doubles final. “Emoff and Buck are great partners, so we had a first doubles team who hadn’t played together before,” Schwinnen said. “Our second doubles team had played some non-league matches together.” Because doubles play was not complete, final standings could not be tabulated. North also had a rescheduled match against Newark. In the league tournament, two third-place doubles matches between Central and Reynoldsburg were scheduled to be concluded May 10. Central’s Jacob Devore and Lucas Stang were playing Reynoldsburg’s Sai Korada and Pope Blake at first doubles and the Tigers’ Mayuran Ravindran and Darree Billings were playing the Raiders’ Kyle O’Brien and Isaac Kahn at second doubles when play was halted. “We were disappointed in our play, and it looks like we’ll finish third behind North,” Central coach Kelli Rings said. “Chase Thomas lost to Grove City’s Joey Hemphill for the first time in four years. Both are seniors. Then our doubles teams had a chance to upend Gahanna because of their new lineups, but we didn’t play well. If you don’t believe, you can’t achieve. We didn’t put up the fight I thought we would.”

top four. •OCC-CENTRAL — Upper Arlington won four courts in the league tournament on May 7 at Davidson en route to winning its 29th consecutive league title. The Golden Bears had 76 points when the OCCCentral tournament was halted because of bad weather, followed by Thomas Worthington (55), Dublin Coffman (48), Worthington Kilbourne (40), Davidson (37), Darby (27), Westland (10) and Central Crossing (1). Two matches at first doubles — the championship match between UA’s Lucas Rooney and Ben Minton and Coffman’s Bobby Lowe and Sam Dinnin and the third-place match between Davidson’s Michael Porter and Pat Holland and Thomas’ Paul Bohorquez and Matt Sisco — were suspended and were scheduled to be completed May 10. Kilbourne, Darby, Westland and Central Crossing all completed competition on May 7. “(Winning the league title) means a lot to us,” said Upper Arlington’s Nate Wallace, who teamed with Eric Vannatta to defeat Thomas’ Joey Wortman and David Edison 6-2, 6-1 in the final at first doubles. “We have a really great tradition here at UA. We try to go out and win this every year.” Upper Arlington swept the three singles courts. At first singles, Billy Weldon was leading Coffman’s Hiromi Nakayama 6-2 in the final when Nakayama defaulted because of an injury. Stu Little defeated Coffman’s Leon Cai 6-0, 6-1 in the second singles final and Brandon Griffin defeated Coffman’s Jack Buchan 6-3, 6-4 in the third singles final. Upper Arlington went 7-0 in the OCC-Central regular-season dual matches. Thomas was second at 6-1, followed by Coffman (5-2), Davidson (43), Kilbourne (3-4), Darby (2-5), Westland (1-6) and Central Crossing (0-7). •OCC-OHIO — Gahanna swept the singles courts to capture its third consecutive league championship. The Lions had to shuffle their lineup as twotime league champion Stephen Cheng was taking the SAT and was unavailable to compete May 7 at Pickerington Central. Cheng won at third singles last season. “I have never been more proud of a team than I was (May 7),” Lions coach Chris Schwinnen said. “When Stephen told us he wouldn’t be there, it caught us a little off guard. The boys didn’t know what to expect. The comfort level wasn’t there and www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

district semifinal for the eighth time in 10 seasons. Last season, Ready went 8-21 overall but upset top-seeded Fredericktown 4-3 in a second-round tournament game. The 11th-seeded Silver Knights opened the postseason May 10 at home against Amanda-Clearcreek, with the winner to play Thursday, May 12, at fifth-seeded Liberty Union. The winner of the second-round game plays in a district semifinal Tuesday, May 17, at Dublin Jerome, where fourth-seeded North Union could be the opponent. Senior Erik Dubiel, who saw key innings in the win over Fredericktown last season, entered the postseason as the team’s No. 1 pitcher. Sophomore Mitch McNabb also was slated to get key innings in the tournament. Junior Brian Horn was among the area leaders in batting average (.442) and RBI (21) through 16 games. Ready got an opportunity to watch Liberty Union firsthand on May 7 when it played Grandview and the Lions at home in a doubleheader. “With our schedule being so sporadic, it’s been difficult to get on a roll,” coach Harry Caruso said. “We’ve had some good games, and then we’ve had to go days without practice and roll back out there. We’ve always been ready for the tournament in the past and I think we (are) again.”

Central Crossing combined for 40 hits in a doubleheader sweep of Brookhaven on May 7, winning 18-1 and 22-3, both in five innings. Sophomore Shawn Seigneur was the winning pitcher in the first game, allowing two hits. Freshman Connor Coup hit a grand slam in the third inning. Junior Ricky Morgan pitched a three-hitter in the second game. The Comets have a makeup game at Thomas Worthington on Thursday, May 12, and a makeup game to be played at Westland. Central Crossing entered the week 1-11 in the OCC-Central, behind champion Dublin Coffman (13-1), Hilliard Davidson (9-4), Worthington Kilbourne (9-4), Hilliard Darby (7-5), Thomas (4-6), Upper Arlington (4-7) and Westland (1-10). Coffman is seeded second in the Division I district tournament, behind Pickerington North. Davidson is seeded sixth. Central Crossing played Marion-Franklin in the first round May 10.

division title with an 11-2 record. Gahanna was in second place at 10-4. “We definitely gave it a run,” Grove City coach Ryan Alexander said. “A lot of teams had us pegged at fourth and fifth in the league this year after losing 10 seniors. We thought we had a good group of kids still coming back and some seniors really stepped up. We’re happy with how our team has played overall in the season. There’s been some peaks and some valleys, but overall we’re happy with the season so far.” Grove City’s hopes of catching North were dashed following a 3-2 loss to the Panthers on May 6 and a 17-3 loss in five innings to Gahanna on May 7. Gahanna scored 10 runs in the top of the first and led 17-0 in the second. “We knew coming into the week it was going to be a really tough week for us with Pick North, Pick Central (5-4 win on

Preparing your teen for college Have a college-bound teen? It’s never too early to start prepping for financial and personal safety on campus. Having a child that is getting ready to graduate and head off to college can be an exciting time. It is also a great time to take the opportunity to teach teens how to keep their guards up and to protect themselves before they have to learn the hard way. So here are a few tips to consider discussing with your teen before he or she heads off to college: Give kids a chance to manage money. A great way to build your children’s financial foundation is to open a checking and savings account in their names. Ensure that they understand how to balance their checkbooks and make timely entries as money comes and goes. With a savings account, they’ll be able to see the value as the account grows and will feel em-

powered by contributing to the account. Add a bit of reality to financial conversations. If your teen is ERIC anxious to CLARKE rent his first apartment and live off campus, show him your monthly bills. This should help him gain a better understanding of how much things really cost and how much he will need to budget to cover his bills before he gets in over his head. Is a free T-shirt worth access to a Social Security number? The likely answer is, probably not, but our teens might not see it that way. This is a time when teens need to learn about how to care for their “identity” and how quickly thieves can steal their identity. This is an opportune time to

give your children a basic understanding about the access their Social Security numbers provide to their identity and how long it can take to repair their credit if it gets into the wrong hands. Not sure where to start? Some of this information might be provided during your teen’s college orientation, but if you’d like to give your teen an advantage, you might consider consulting your financial institution for tips on talking to teens or seek seminars offered on such topics as campus safety, protecting your identity and the do’s and don’ts of having that first credit card.

BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER PROJECT

State funding aids early detection In December of 1989 Elizabeth Cassady’s mother Roberta informed her “We realize that it’s unrealistic to expect the BCCP to family that she had been diagnosed receive more funding during these tough economic with breast cancer. Elizabeth recalls her concern for her mother was times. When the current budget problems are resolved overwhelming.

So every year she would er’s diagnosis and her higher risk. mother’s diagnosis Elizabeth was 25-

“Every year before my screening, I would simply change the date on the appeal letter I sent the year before as I expected the insurance company would deny payment for my mammogram,” Elizabeth said. For Elizabeth, her annual encounter with the red tape was worthwhile as the screenings gave her knowledge and peace of mind. A couple years ago Elizabeth began working contract jobs and found herself unable to afford health insurance or the cost of screenings — yet her income was too high to be eligible for the state’s Medicaid program. Even more frightening, the team at the Columbus Cancer Clinic detected a mass in her left breast during her annual mammogram.

Needing a second screening and an ultrasound, the Cancer Clinic informed Elizabeth that she would be eligible for assistance through the state’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Project (BCCP). Administered by the Ohio Department of Health through funding by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state budget appropriations, the BCCP provides mammograms, diagnostic testing and case management services to low-income women in Ohio who don’t have insurance coverage and fall in the eligibility gap for the state’s Medicaid system. Last year, the Ohio BCCP screened See STATE, on next page

SURVIVOR CEREMONY

Regina Brett to speak at post-race event On May 14, downtown Columbus will be transformed into a sea of pink as thousands gather to participate in the annual Susan G. Komen Columbus Race for the Cure. Within the crowd of pink-clad peopleâ€”there were more than 50,000 participants in 2010â€”certain individuals stand out because they are just a little bit pinker than all the rest. Hundreds of breast cancer survivors, marked by their solid pink t-shirts, will run and walk the 5K race course this yearâ€”accompanied by family, friends and the Central Ohio community. After the race, all survivors will be invited to participate in the Sur-

vivor Ceremony & Celebration, an empowering, inspirational event that will start at 10:45 a.m. on the west steps of the Ohio Statehouse. The keynote speaker for this yearâ€™s celebration knows all too well what it means to be a breast cancer survivor. Regina Brett has been cancer-free for 14 years. She has sisters and cousins who have lost their lives to the disease. Her daughter found out in 2007 that she, like Brett, carried the BRCA1 gene, which can cause breast cancer, and chose to have her breasts surgically removed. Brett is a well-known and respected columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and a Pulitzer Prize finalist twice for pieces she

wrote for the newspaper. She is also the author of God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Lifeâ€™s Little Detours, an inspirational collection of essays, and she hosts a weekly call-in radio show on Northeast Ohioâ€™s NPR affiliate station. At the Columbus survivor ceremony, Brett will celebrate breast cancer survivorship surrounded by fellow survivors and those closest to themâ€”in addition to thousands of other Ohioans. As each survivor crosses the finish line, they will receive a pink rose and be asked to proceed to Survivor Palooza, a special tented area designated for survivors, to prepare to be honored at the

ceremony. During the event, they will parade across the Statehouse lawn in order of length of survivorshipâ€”from those undergoing treatment to those who have been cancer-free for decadesâ€” and assemble on the steps of the Statehouse to be recognized. The celebration wonâ€™t be without music. The Hot Pink Racers, a local band that combines punk rock and pink, will get the crowd moving. The band was organized exclusively for the Columbus Race for the Cure by Joe Cygan, the widower of Heather Pick, a Columbus television news anchor who lost her fight with breast cancer in 2008. Rebekah Smith, a talented young Columbus singer,

will also perform with accompianist Scott Solchert. Awards will be given to survivors and top runners. All are welcome on the State-

house lawn after the race this year to join in this amazing celebration of survivorshipâ€”and be part of finding a cure to end breast cancer forever.

13,591 women - of which 213 were diagnosed with breast cancer. Unfortunately as the state has faced difficult budget challenges in recent years, funding for the program has been significantly reduced. Based on the most recent data, 150,601 women in Ohio (8 percent of the population) are eligible for BCCP however only 11 percent of that population can be screened at current funding levels. In the proposed state budget for fiscal years 2012-2013, funding for the Ohio BCCP program is reduced by another $228,000 over the next two years translating into roughly 1,300 fewer screenings. Ohioâ€™s Komen affiliates recognize the stateâ€™s fiscal situation, so instead of asking legislative leaders to restore funding at levels from previous years, the request is to refrain from any additional reductions. â€œWe realize that itâ€™s unrealistic to expect the BCCP to receive more funding during these tough economic times,â€? Komen Columbus Executive Director Katie Carter said. â€œWhen the current budget problems are resolved and the state can dedicate more resources toward prevention, we will continue to show the cost benefits of early screening versus treatment and ask that funding be increased.â€? While state lawmakers work to reform the Medicaid system to reduce costs and improve health outcomes for Ohioans, advocates for the BCCP warn that any additional reduction in access to the screening program will only lead to increases in overall health care costs. While the average cost of BCCP services is $175, the cost of treating later stage breast cancer can exceed

OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEER

Carole Morbitzer selected for award Morbitzer says she got involved with Komen Columbus after coaching a close volleyball match. One of her star players, Lindsey, seemed distracted. Later, on the bus ride home, she noticed Lindsey and four other girls crying. Once they returned to school she approached Lindsey and discovered that her mother had just been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. “I stood there in the rain with Lindsey, her head on my shoulder and we both cried,” Morbitzer said. “When I got in the car, it hit me. Those other four girls who were crying with Lind-

sey...their mothers had breast cancer also.” Knowing she had to get involved, Morbitzer entered her school in the High School Team Challenge Program for the Komen Columbus Race for the Cure in 2000. The Hamilton Township team continues to grow every year due to a combination of new students joining with alumni, friends, and family. Last year the team reached an all time high of 816 members, and Morbitzer hopes that number will be surpassed this year. One of those alumni running

ways laugh because they know! I tell them, ‘Be prepared to cry also. You are going to have fun, but you are also going to realize that you are a part of something bigger than you could imagine.’”

with her every year is Lindsey, who was also one of the first people Morbitzer called after finding out she received the Outstanding Individual Volunteer Award. “[Lindsey] began to cry and said, ‘I am so proud of you.’” Morbitzer said. “In my 16-year career, I have told hundreds of students that I am proud of them. It was the first time that a former student said those words to me.” In the 11 years Morbitzer has coached volleyball with Hamilton Township, she has had seven players experience their mothers’ battles with breast cancer. This motivated her to raise an incredible $95,027 for the Columbus Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure through Race registrations, pledges,Volley for the Cure events and other donations. “Every year I learn of more students who are affected by breast cancer,” Morbitzer said. “I will do everything I can for the rest of my career to get students involved in the fight against breast cancer. I will continue to encourage students to participate in the Race for the Cure every year...now and for the rest of their lives...or better yet, until there is a cure.” Each year, Morbitzer not only organizes a team to be in the race, but another 200 volunteers at the start line. Her group even choreographed a dance they taught to breast cancer survivors and then performed at the Survivor Ceremony on Race day. She says her students have a great time during the race, but do remember what is important, the survivors. “When the survivors come through those State House doors [at the Survivor Ceremony], I will look around and I will see several students in tears,” Morbitzer said, “It is during those moments when I have realized that my students get it. They understand why they are there and realize that they are a part of something amazing.” Under Morbitzer’s tireless direction, every year a new group of students becomes engaged in the breast cancer cause not only at Hamilton Township, but in Central Ohio, as she provides advice and suggestions to other area high schools for forming Race teams and planning Volley for the Cure events. As Outstanding Individual Volunteer of the Year, Morbitzer shares this advice for those participating in their first Race for the Cure: “You may have seen footage of the race on TV or looked at pictures in the paper, but you cannot truly understand what it is like until you have participated in the race. It is an experience like no other. To think that over 50,000
