Students stage peaceful counter-protest By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

See SCHOOL LEVY, page A4

Three members of the Westboro Baptist Church who were picketing Hilliard Darby High School were met with peaceful opposition from more than 100 students May 10. The WBC, a group from Topeka, Kan., known for its anti-gay and anti-military protests, was not permitted on school grounds, so its members held their signs at the northwest corner of Leppert and Scioto Darby roads for about an hour and sang “God Hates America.” As students were heading to school, some counter-picketed. They held signs across from the WBC and, in some cases, in front of them. They sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” and chanted, “OH-IO.” Riders from the Iron Guns Motorcycle Club revved their engines as they repeatedly drove by, and others honked. Members of the Hilliard Police Department were stationed at the intersection and escorted the WBC members from the grounds. No arrests were reported.

City revises plans for community garden By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

It’s still uncertain whether Hilliard’s proposed community garden will take root this year, but whenever it does, it will be in multiple locations. According to Steve Mazer, director of recreation and parks, the city’s

plans have changed. Instead of a single 200-plus plot community garden off Cosgray Road, there will only be 30 plots close to the water tower. The garden plots will take up one acre instead of the four originally planned, giving residents of the Estates at Hoffman Farms subdivision more space between their property and the plots.

Time Matters

The Hilliard City School District won’t bring its request for an operating levy back to the voters until at least November. Board member Paul Lambert said during the board’s May 9 meeting that the deadline has passed for the levy to go back on the ballot for a special election in August. However, the district had until Aug. 10 to decide whether the levy would go on the November ballot. “I sent all of you a proposal for a way to go forward in making our decision,” Lambert said to the board members. “I think we’ve got a lot of work to do, and hope we can discuss that soon.” On May 3, Issue 7, a 6.9-mill tax levy was defeated by Hilliard voters 8,206 (57 percent) to 6,284 (43 percent). According to the district, the levy failure will result in $3,890,279 in budget reductions for the 2011-12 school year, including eliminating 51.5 positions. Three people spoke during the public participation portion of the meeting. “I was of a mixed mind about the levy, but overall I’m kind of glad it went down,” Mark Freeman said. “Maybe I’m an idealist, but I’ve seen in other school districts and corporations when faced with the kind of budget pitfalls we have, that rather than face layoffs of their peers, many employees, union and non-union, have agreed to salary concessions to save the jobs of their friends and co-workers.”

The city is also looking at one or two other locations for additional garden plots on land it owns, Mazer said. Mayor Donald Schonhardt first brought up the community gardens during his state of the city address, but some residents near the proposed site were worried about the amount

of traffic on one access road and parking. Following a meeting between the city administration and the residents, the compromise was reached, Mazer said. “When you look at 200-plus plots, it was a lot,” Mazer said. “The neighbors had a lot of concerns. What the See GARDEN, page A2

Hilliard is re-visiting the idea of creating two railroad “quiet zones” within the city. City council’s public safety and legal affairs committee listened to an update at its May 9 meeting from director of public service Clyde Seidle on what steps would still need to be taken to create quiet zones at the Davidson Road and Leap Road railroad crossings. Quiet zones are sections of railroad track where trains are not required to sound their horns with signs reading, “No Train Horn” posted. “Back in late March, we received inquiries from some residents on the status (of creating quiet zones), and were asked to draft some legislation and schedule a meeting to see what else needs to be done,” Seidle said.

Council candidates ready to move forward Continued from page A1 “The top priority is to bring businesses to Hilliard, and take steps to implement that,” Painter said. “We are going to find out in June when Gov. Kasich’s budget is finalized, there might be some difficult decisions that have to be made at the beginning of the new term. We’ve got to be prepared going in, what steps we need to take to make sure that the services in the city are maintained and enhanced without raising taxes.” Joseph Erb is a double winner: his 1,749 votes, or 22 percent, of the vote earned him a second-place finish, and his wife recently gave birth to the couple’s first child, a daughter. “Over the last several months, I’ve been attending just about every council meeting, and I anticipate doing the same thing until I take office next year,” Erb said. “I think it’s important to know the issues. I want to sit down with the council collectively and each member individually and get a better feel of some of the things that are going on and get more of their perspective, and I plan on doing the same thing with the administration.” Erb, 28, who is vice president of government relations for Strategic Public Partners Group, was the leading fundraiser of the candidates. “I think the biggest issue facing the city is economic development. We really have to get our hands around what we have to do to go about attracting more jobs to the city. That’s the first thing I need to do,” Erb said. “The other thing that’s glaring is that we need to have better communications between the council, administration and the school board,” he said. “So I also plan on reaching out to the folks at the school board and just trying to have an open dialogue.” Incumbent Albert Iosue finished third with 1,573 votes, or 19 percent of the vote. Iosue, 42, director of planning and programs for the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO), said he looks forward to working with newcomers Erb and Painter, both of whom he’s talked to. “They’ll both be excellent additions to council. I think they both have some really great ideas, and they’re really excited to get started,” Iosue said. “At the end of the day, we all have the same vision, philosophy, values. All of us will work together because we have the best interests of the community at heart.” Incumbent Bill Uttley finished fourth in the voting with 1,448 votes, or 18 percent of the vote. He attributed his loss in part to raising the least amount of money among the candidates. “I’ve had better days,” Uttley

GARDEN Continued from page A1 mayor suggested is putting 30 plots behind Hoffman Estates, and then he has (director of public service) Clyde Seidle and me looking for one or two areas throughout Hilliard to put some more garden plots.” The one acre of garden plots will have some additional benefits in that the land had been farmed in the past. There’s not as much brush to clear, and there will be no need for a burn-off as was previously planned for the four acres, Mazer said. Having more than one location in Hilliard may also allow people a chance to grow their vegetables in a location nearer to them, Mazer said. However, coming up with an alternative solution, as well as the record rainfall in April, has delayed work on the gardens, he said. “The weather is (preventing) us being able to get on the properties and doing any work whatsoever, or seeing if the properties are acceptable,” Mazer said. “We’re hoping that maybe in the next two or three weeks we can get going on this. “We are gunning to get plots available this year, but if the weather doesn’t cooperate, and we’re not able to work all the logistics out, it could be next year.” For more information, call (614) 876-5200 or visit hilliardohio.gov.

said. “I was disappointed, but I knew that the other candidates had outspent me. I didn’t take any outside money, William Uttley I didn’t take any money from other elected city officials, and I didn’t take anything from outside the community.” Uttley, 55, a real estate appraiser, said he will continue his work on the Hilliard Community Foundation and Hilliard Arts Council, and “may expand my horizons a little bit, keep busy with some other community organizations.” In the meantime, though, Uttley said he intends “to work just as hard or harder for the citizens until the end of my term, as my record has shown in the past.” Cornell Robertson finished last in the voting, with 1,351 votes, or 17 percent of the vote. “I came into this feeling like I

was the underdog, and I think I was the least wellknown of the candidates,” Robertson said. “I tried to think Cornell of multiple Robertson ways to get my name out there. Obviously, it just wasn’t enough. I feel like I worked as hard as I could. “I don’t have any regrets of going through the process,” he said. “It was a great learning experience, I met a lot of really good people. I feel like I was the underdog, and it showed.” Robertson, 40, will continue to work as a highway design engineer for the Franklin County Engineer’s Office and would like to serve the city in some capacity. “I still want to make myself available,” Robertson said. “I’m still interested in helping out Hilliard, and taking it to the next level.”

Tremayne honored as Educator of the Year By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard Alumni Association named Hilliard Darby High School business teacher Mark Tremayne its Educator of the Year on May 4, a day after voters turned down the districtâ€™s levy in the May primary. Teachers from many of Hilliardâ€™s schools received certificates, white carnations and had accolades read about them in the administration annex by alumni association president Tom Calhoon. The teachers, their families, and in some cases, the students, Debbie Osbun Sarah Rudolph Anne Kuney Amy Wilson Katie Geckeler Beth Watts Stacey Peters Judy Hollingshead Tasia Sicker William Wheeler Kathy Fantin Karen Dietz Alan Hans Denise Davis Doug Bell Nicole Bagchi Mark Tremayne Tina Cox

parents and staff who nominated them were in attendance. Senior Zack Thompson wrote in his nomination form that after less than a semester in Tremayneâ€™s sports and entertainment management class, he knew what he wanted to do with his life. â€œMr. Tremayne is a teacher not like any other I have ever had in my entire school career,â€? Thompson wrote. â€œHe truly cares about what he teaches, and will go that extra length to help out students that share the same passion and excitement that he exhibits every single day.â€? Another nominator wrote of

Tremayne, who is also the head track coach at Darby, â€œMr. Tremayne teaches business, but if you ask his students, they walk away from his class with more knowledge than business. They learn the meaning of persistence, to work hard for what you believe in. He gets his lessons across to his students by setting an example for them both inside and outside the classroom.â€? Tremayne joins Beth Basil (2005), Janie Felch (2006), Tammy Reitter (2007), Wendy Burkitt (2008), Brett Miller (2009) and Diana Lang (2010) as an Educator of the Year.

School levy won’t return until at least November Continued from page A1 Freeman said if another levy goes on the ballot in the fall, it should be smaller, “so that it only covers the shortfall in state funding and not provide more salary increases.” “I think some open and frank discussions are needed,” David Frey said. “I don’t think anyone in the city would say we want to see our schools fail. I’m confused by how we spend our money, and I’ve expressed to the board the need to have a community conversation about compensation and benefits. It is the biggest line item.” Frey said his neighbor’s middle-school daughter won’t be able to play sports next year, yet teachers’ salaries and benefits won’t

be cut. Steve Bennett thanked board members for attending a coffee with the board special meeting held the morning of May 7 in the administration annex. “I think the district and the board in particular need to have a little bit more intellectually honest discussion,” Bennett said. “We need to have a grownup conversation about what’s happening here in the next five years, not just this year. When you look at the spending, it’s getting out of control pretty quick.” Neither the five-member board nor district superintendent Dale McVey responded to the speakers. Before the board unanimously approved by a 5-0 vote fees for the 2011-12 school year, Lambert

said he had a comment. “I wish we could find a way to build a budget where these fees are incorporated,” Lambert said. “Any payment like this is a regressive tax. It affects the least able to pay the hardest.” The fees ranged from $5 for social studies classes up to $65 for color guard. Also at the meeting, former Britton Elementary School Principal Robert Spicer was remembered. Spicer, who had worked in the district since 1981, died recently. School board president Doug Maggied said of Spicer, “The kids were always first in his mind. We had a memorial service (May 6). It was astounding the number of lives he touched who were there to honor him. He will be missed.”

Hilliard takes another look at quiet zones Continued from page A1 Hilliard staff originally started the process of creating quiet zones in early 2009, making the initial request with CSX and conducting a review of crossing safety features in the city, Seidle said. CSX required two safety factors installed for further progression, Seidle said – installation of medians at the crossings, as well as replacing a missing power-out indicator. “(The city) at that time decided to go forward with the installation of the medians at both locations,” Seidle said. “We did that out of the fact that we thought it was probably a good idea, irrespective of the quiet zone. They really prevent someone right at the gate from doing a turnaround and going through.” Seidle said the issue has sat dormant for some time, waiting on further direction from city council. Resident Ryan Lee addressed the committee, saying that he thought the council wasn’t going to think about this function again following the death of Arthur Lane, who was killed Dec. 4,

2009, while wearing headphones and walking on the tracks south of Davidson Road. Seidle later stressed that trains will sound their horns if they see anything wrong in front of them, notwithstanding quiet zones. Council member Tim Roberts said he still stands by his original opinion on the issue, that he would only be comfortable with the quiet zone designation if more secure (and costly) safety measures were constructed. “And I don’t know if I can justify that expenditure,” Roberts said. Seidle said that the next step in the process would be for council to adopt a resolution that would allow staff to send in the quiet zone report to CSX, as well as writing a purchase order of $6,000, for the missing power-out indicator. CSX could then move forward with additional installations and another field review, before Hilliard would have the established quiet zone. A resolution authorizing city staff to take that direction will be brought back for the committee’s discussion and a possible decision at its next regular meeting, scheduled for May 23.

Commentary & opinion 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, Bangalore and the Columbus sister city, KENNY Ahmedabad. MCDONALD 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 eco-

nomic 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!

Novelist Ellen Hopkins

‘Crank’ author visits high schools ing for young people.” Hopkins said of her daughter, “She went to church every Sunday. She was the perfect kid who basically got turned onto drugs by a boy, and because the drug was so addictive, she ended up losing her dreams. “She survived, but she certainly is not going to have her dream of computer animation or any of that. I was compelled to write the story from her point of view to try to gain some understanding of the choices she made and maybe what parts I played in those choices. So it was a catharsis for me to write the book,” Hopkins said. This fall, Hopkins’eighth young adult novel and first adult novel, all written in verse, will be published. Hopkins said her school visits are unlike most authors, because of her visceral connection with the students through her stories. “I’m sharing my life, my story. They see me as a real person, and they realize that the stories I’m telling them are real, honest, even though they’re fiction.” Hopkins has a message for the adults, too. “I know for some there’s concern about the subject matter that I write, but I want them to really understand that there’s nothing gratuitous in what I write about — addiction, abuse or teen suicide. It’s tough subject matter, but these issues are touching these kids’lives every single day, so I’m trying to bring some kind of understanding and empathy to either kids who have gone through these things, or maybe have through a parent, friend or loved one. “I also think it’s important for kids who have good lives to understand these issues, to develop empathy for these people,” she said.

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The author of “Crank” and other popular novels for young adults paid a successful visit to all three Hilliard high schools last week. Ellen Hopkins presented her work to assemblies of students and adults alike, conducted book signings and student writer Ellen Hopkins workshops, thanks to a grant that the high school’s media specialists applied for from the Hilliard Education Foundation. “What she writes about is a perfect fit for our health classes because they teach and talk about risk-taking behaviors, whether it is sexual, drugs or alcohol,” Mary Bertholf, Hilliard Darby High School media specialist, said of Hopkins. A trilogy of novels written in verse — “Crank,” “Glass” and “Fallout” — concern Kristina, a teen whose normal life spirals out of control when she becomes addicted to crystal meth. One of the trilogy’s powerful passages has Kristina pondering whether to care for her crying baby or get high. She chooses the latter. “They are available in our libraries, and they’re truly cautionary tales, but they don’t varnish the truth,” Bertholf said. “The kids feel they can look around them and see those characters. It’s a part of their reality.” It’s also part of Hopkins’ reality. A freelance and children’s nonfiction writer who lives in the Reno, Nevada, area, Hopkins said “it was my daughter’s story of meth addiction that pulled me toward writ-

Sophomore figures out the secret to success Hilliard Bradley’s student of the month for May is sophomore Ally Burnett. Burnett has a good personality and work ethic, in and out of the classroom. She is also a member of Bradley’s band and plays volleyball out of school. Her English teacher Jennifer Sayre nominated her. “Ally has made a big turnaround since the start of the year. She has realized the importance of school and has figured out how to be successful,” she said. “This makes her a positive influence on other students and a great addition to my class.” Math teacher Scott Allen agreed. “Ally has done a fantastic job in class this year. She is a leader in my classroom and helps others when they don’t understand something,” he said. “She is truly a model student and an awesome kid.” Her friends also appreciate her, outside of the classroom. Sophomore Corinne Dixon said, “Ally always keeps her head up during drama and is a very strong person. She’s an overall great friend and she’s my best friend.” Sophomore Hunter Jones felt the same way. “She’s a very loyal friend and she’s always there for me,” she explained. “I’m glad to have her in my life!”

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.

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.

Hilliard’s Hometown Hero

Gregory Brown, Manager of Fifth Third Bank’s Hilliard/Cemetery Road Banking Center; Phyllis Ernst, Hilliard Hometown Hero and Bob Buchanan, Manager of Fifth Third Bank’s Hilliard-South Banking Center. A resident since 1973, Phyllis Ernst has been a major thread in the fabric of the Hilliard community. As the director of Recreation & Parks for 26 years, she has seen Hilliard grow tremendously. Thanks to her, Hilliard now has over 20 parks ranging from wooded natural areas to active athletic facilities. Phyllis says that Hilliard is full of a lot of great people, has wonderful schools, and that she can’t think of living anywhere else. The City of Hilliard thinks the same of Phyllis, having named the local Senior Center after her. Though most of her time is devoted to caring for her husband, who has Parkinson’s Disease, Phyllis still finds time to contribute to the board of the Hilliard Community Foundation. She also heads a choir that travels to local nursing homes to brighten the spirits of their residents. Her devotion and continued involvement truly makes her a Hometown Hero!

Thank you, Phyllis Ernst, for your continued contribution to the community.

Financial finesse

Preparing your teen for college Have a college-bound teen? Itâ€™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 childrenâ€™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, theyâ€™ll be able to see the value as the account grows and will feel empowered by contributing to the account. Add a bit of reality to financial conversations. If your teen is anxious to 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 â€œidentityâ€? and how quickly thieves can steal their identity. This is an opportune time ERIC to give your children a basic understanding about the acCLARKE cess 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 teenâ€™s college orientation, but if youâ€™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 doâ€™s and donâ€™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 was the concern for and the state can dedicate more resources toward her own health as she knew she may be prevention, we will continue to show the cost benefits at a higher risk of breast cancer than the average woman. of early screening versus treatment and ask that Elizabeth also understood, through funding be increased.” her mother’s own battle, that if detected early the survival rate is very good.

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.

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

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

Commentary

Bradley standout loves softball When I was talking with a veteran high school softball coach in central Ohio about Hilliard Bradley’s talented senior, Kellie Roudabush, he told me, “It’s simple, Larry. This girl can flat out hit a softball.” And that is what this Jaguars standout has been doing all season. Through 18 LARRY games, Roudabush was LARSON batting .576 with seven doubles, three triples, four home runs and 20 RBI. She also has been stellar as a pitcher with a 10-2 record and a 1.99 ERA, but it’s her offense that has sparked Bradley to 15 wins in those 18 games. “I work very hard at every aspect of softball, but right now I have more confidence swinging the bat than the other parts of the game,” Roudabush said. “I do tee-work every day as I constantly try to improve as a hitter, and before we play I take a 10-minute jog and try to visualize what I am going to do at bat against their pitcher. All of that helps me focus on what I want to complete. When I am at bat I clear everything else out of my mind because I want no distractions and, until there are two strikes on me, I look for my pitch. “I guess I would be called a power hitter and I am striving to be a complete hitter, and that means taking what’s given to me and going with the pitch. When I was a freshman, I pulled everything and now, as I have matured, I have learned how to hit the outside pitch and how to hit the outside pitch with power. “I feel like I am a coachable athlete and I have been lucky to have coach (Kevin) Moody with me at both Hilliard Darby and here at Bradley. I have had my summer coaches and my dad work with me and they have been able to change my swing at times, teach me not to hit off my front foot too much, how to use my hips for power in my swing and the importance of following through when you hit. I think I have learned well.” In the circle, Roudabush likes to rely on her full arsenal of pitches. “I have become the type of pitcher who can definitely bring the fastball, but I like to mix up my pitches to keep the opponents off balance,” she said. “I am very confident with my screwball right now and I never want the batters to know what is coming. I am also very confident with my teammates behind me on defense. Practice is definitely paying off with our team and we are learning to pick each other up if a mistake is made. Remember since Bradley is a new school we have only been together for two seasons. See LARSON, page C3

Wildcats’ Gronski keeps focus By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

It almost seems like Andrew Gronski has been around the Hilliard Davidson High School baseball program as long as coach Jim Dougherty. Gronski has started since he was a sophomore and has been a leader both offensively and defensively for the Wildcats the past three seasons. “Andrew has been a great player for the program and he has done everything that we have asked of him,” said Dougherty, who is in his 30th season as coach. “We only have the postseason left for him and it would be good to

keep it going.” As a sophomore, Gronski led the team in batting average (.398), hits (41), doubles (11) and on-base percentage (.484). The Wildcats’ season ended with a 133, six-inning loss to Pickerington North in a Division I regional final. Last season, he batted .373 with five homers, 30 RBI, 39 runs, 17 doubles and two triples. On the mound, he was 3-4 with one save and a 3.15 ERA with 26 strikeouts and 12 walks in 46 2/3 innings. As a senior, Gronski has been even better. Through 23 games, he was batting .473 (35-for-74) with 24 runs, 11 RBI, 11 doubles and five triples. He is 5-

3 on the mound. “It just hasn’t really sunk in yet that this is my senior year,” Gronski said after collecting two singles and drawing a walk in a 5-4 loss to Darby on May 4. “To me, it just seems like any other season.” Davidson assistant coach Pat Schmidt isn’t surprised by Gronski’s observation. “Sometimes with seniors, you are worried about all of the distractions this time of year,” Schmidt said. “They worry about things like where they will play next year, what will happen next year, graduations ... a lot of different things outside of the game. “But Andrew is so focused. All he is

worried about is his next game or his next at-bat. He’s looking to do his best every day.” Schmidt said Gronski’s laid-back attitude is one of the keys to his success. “Andrew is so perfect for the game of baseball. He never gets too high or too low,” Schmidt said. “If you talked to him after a game, you wouldn’t know whether he went 5-for-5 or 0-for-5. He just goes about his business on the field.” Gronski started as a third baseman and catcher as a sophomore and played third last season. As a senior, he has been playing at shortstop.

Rob Schmeling has seen his Hilliard Darby High School boys lacrosse team come into its own this month. The Panthers were 4-0 in May before playing Westerville South on May 11. “I think we’re playing now as a unit and we’re growing as a program,” said Schmeling, whose team was 6-7 overall before playing South. “(The players) have been figuring out a lot of what we want to do offensively and defensively. We’re starting to put together four good quarters.” The streak started with a 14-11 win over Olentangy Orange on May 3 and a 13-9 victory May 4 over Gahanna, both OCC-Ohio Division games to improve the Panthers’ league record to 2-3.

Junior attacker Toren Moore led with five goals against Gahanna. Junior attacker Spencer Kocher had three goals and senior midfielder Don Bennett scored two. Senior midfielder Jacob Hooker, senior midfielder Gabe Quinones and junior midfielder Kirby Dearth added one goal apiece. Junior goalie Tyler Dixon had seven saves. “We’re putting a good run together,” Schmeling said. “Toren Moore is playing well as is (junior) Cam Leach in the midfield. Goalie Tyler Dixon has been doing a good job for us.” The Panthers earned a pair of non-league wins, defeating Westerville Central 11-10 in overtime on May 6 and beating Sylvania Northview 18-4 on May 7.

Boys Tennis

Players turn attention to sectional tourney From staff reports Hilliard Darby, Hilliard Davidson, Pickerington Central and Upper Arlington high schools will play host to the Division I boys tennis sectional tournaments Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14. The top four finishers in singles and doubles at the sectional sites advance to the district tournament May 20-21 at Davidson. 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 (second) are the top two seeds in doubles. St. Charles’ Dennis Gleason is seeded third in singles, and St. Charles’Grant Dolven and Weston Niermeyer and Pickerington North’s Sam Prewitt and Dylan Bhaerman are seeded second and fourth, respectively, in doubles. At the Davidson site, Dublin Jerome’s Kent Seitz and Sean Stein, who placed fourth at state in doubles last year, are the top seed in doubles, followed by Gahanna’s Stephen Cheng and Canyon Teague (second), Worthington Kilbourne’s Sam Lazaroff and Roger Juang (third) and Davidson’s Zach Page and Greg Tiffan (fourth). In singles, Gahanna’s Jesse Shivener is the top seed, with Dublin Scioto’s Sean Ferguson (second), Jerome’s Frank Kuo (third) and Kilbourne’s Brian Aguirre (fourth) rounding out the top four. •OCC-CAPITAL — New Albany won all five courts on its way to a fifth consecutive league tournament title. The Eagles finished the tournament on May 7 at Hilliard Bradley with 76 points, placing ahead of Olentangy Orange (52), Big Walnut (39), Delaware (31), Bradley (19), Watkins Memorial (18), Franklin Heights (7) and Mount Vernon (6). “It’s really exciting for New Albany,”

said New Albany’s Sean Yun, who defeated Orange’s Doug Ganim 6-0, 6-4 to win the title at first singles. “It’s great that we were able to keep this record and keep the reputation at New Albany going.” New Albany lost only one court in OCC-Capital play. That occurred April 29 when Orange’s Tanner Greene and Ryan Jay beat Romanoff and Ameen Farwana 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 at first doubles. In the league tournament, New Albany’s Jordan Rabe and Jacob Teich defeated Greene and Jay 6-0, 6-3 in the final at first doubles and New Albany’s Julian Judge and Rathnakishore Giri defeated Orange’s Matt Pennington and Tim Hawk 6-1, 6-4 in the second doubles final. New Albany’s Steven Miller Jr. defeated Delaware’s Justin Rike 6-0, 6-1 in the second singles final and Romanoff defeated Delaware’s Nick Tanuredjo 60, 6-0 in the final at third singles. Since joining the league in 2007 New Albany is 30-0 in regular-season duals and has won the league tournament title each season. The Eagles have parlayed that success into successful postseasons, including a

Division II state title in singles in 2008 and a state title in doubles in 2007. Last season, Hendrix and 2010 graduate Riyad Bennoui were the Division II state runners-up in doubles. Neither Hendrix nor Oliver Sybert competed in the OCC-Capital tournament for New Albany, but both are expected to be part of the postseason lineup. New Albany won the OCC-Capital regular-season title at 7-0, finishing ahead of runner-up Olentangy Orange (6-1) and third-place Big Walnut (5-2). Entering this week, Delaware and Watkins Memorial were tied for fourth at 3-3, followed by Bradley (2-3), Franklin Heights (1-6) and Mount Vernon (0-7). Delaware and Watkins Memorial each had matches left to play against Bradley. •OCC-CENTRAL — Upper Arlington won four courts in the league tournament on May 7 at Hilliard Davidson en route to winning its 29th consecutive league title. The Golden Bears had 76 points when the OCC-Central tournament was halted because of bad weather, followed by Thomas Worthington (55), Dublin Coff-

Kilbourne, Darby, Westland and Central Crossing all completed competition on May 7. “(Winning the league title) means a lot,” said UA’s Nate Wallace, who teamed with Eric Vannatta to defeat Thomas’ Joey Wortman and David Edison 6-2, 61 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.”

Bradley hopes to benefit from difficult schedule By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard Bradley High School softball team was unable to defend its OCC-Capital Division championship. Still, two of the Jaguars’ three losses this season were to Division I teams. Bradley, which is in Division II, hopes playing a primarily Division I schedule will help it make a lengthy postseason run. Bradley was seeded third in the district tournament and had a firstround bye. The Jaguars played Mifflin in the second round on May 11, with the winner advancing to a district semifinal on Monday, May 16, at Pickerington North. The district final is Wednesday, May 18, at Pickerington Central. “We’ve been progressing pretty well but had a disappointing game against Delaware (10-3 loss on May 7),” coach Kevin Moody said. “We need to raise our level of play on defense, use our speed and be aggressive. We need to read the ball off the bat better and make the hustle plays. Delaware made some very strong plays on defense, three or four times catching the ball over their shoulders

and diving for foul balls. Those are the things we didn’t do.” Delaware finished 14-0 to win the OCC-Capital championship. Bradley is 10-3 and in second place with a makeup game remaining at New Albany on Friday, May 13. A district semifinal berth could pit the Jaguars against fourthseeded Licking Valley, Buckeye Valley or Licking Heights. The potential opponents for the district final are top-seeded DeSales, Bexley, Beechcroft, Whitehall, Big Walnut and Hamilton Township. The Jaguars have begun to use Kellie Roudabush more in the circle. For the better part of the season, she shared the pitching duties with Tayler Young. Roudabush played shortstop when Young pitched. “We’ve been working Kellie a little harder to prepare her for the tournament now, but because of the weather, we haven’t gotten her the amount of work she has needed to get her ball movement to the point she’s accustomed to,” Moody said. “She wants the ball and wants to be in the circle. She said this is her senior year and it’s time to finish strong.” Moody liked the pitching com-

bination all season because it made the Jaguars better defensively with Roudabush at shortstop. But he has found what he thinks to be the team’s best option now. Freshman Abi Groseclose, the team’s catcher most of the season, has been playing well at shortstop lately. Mikaela Smith has taken over the catching duties. “We’re still trying to make a decision, but that’s the way we’re leaning right now,” Moody said. “Regardless, we need to make defensive plays at every position to have a nice tournament run. We’ve been putting the ball in play and Kellie and Jordan Camp have really been stinging the ball.” •Darby gained a lot of momentum by winning five of seven games after being 3-9. However, most of that momentum may have been lost when it dropped a pair of games on May 7. “We really had things going and we beat our rival Davidson 9-0 (on May 6),” coach Erin McClincy said. “Davidson is a great program with top-notch coaching and we went in with confidence and played the way we’re capable of playing. “But the next day, it was like

“Nate and I are playing doubles together in sectionals, so this is good momentum to move forward,”Vannatta said. “Our net game was working, we were communicating well and we finished off points.” UA swept singles courts. At No. 1, Billy Weldon was leading Coffman’s Hiromi Nakayama 6-2 in the final when Nakayama defaulted because of injury. Stu Little beat Coffman’s Leon Cai 6-0, 6-1 at No. 2 and Brandon Griffin defeated Coffman’s Jack Buchan 6-3, 6-4 at third singles. UA went 7-0 in the OCC-Central regular-season dual matches.

we had a whole different team there. We lost to (Thomas Worthington 7-2 and to Teays Valley 9-3). We played pretty well against Thomas for the most part except for one bad inning. Then we just didn’t play well at all against Teays Valley. That’s been the story of our season though — up and down.” The losses dropped Darby to 8-13 overall and 4-8 in the OCCCentral. After the Division I tournament opener against Westerville South on May 10, the Panthers played Upper Arlington in a league makeup on May 11. Another league makeup against Westland had yet to be rescheduled.

“We lost (junior pitcher) Carole Allen to a broken foot, but I’m pleased with our pitching depth because both Tara Woods and freshman Savannah Pizzurro have really been doing well lately,” McClincy said. “We’ve got some depth at pitching. Plus, we get senior Mollie Obert (third base) back soon and that will help. She injured a finger on her throwing (right) hand and has been hitting the past few games. Having her back on defense will help.” McClincy is excited that Brandy Yauger and Heather Scott have added some pop to the offense, joining Cheyenne Hamak-

er and LeAnn Chumita. She also noted that Tyler Kohli has been solid anchoring the outfield defense. •Davidson had won two of its previous three entering the Division I district tournament, with the loss being to Darby. The Wildcats were 10-12 overall before playing Newark in the first round on May 10. They finished 7-7 in the OCC-Central.

Jaguars try to chase down Warriors for title By AARON BLANKENSHIP

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hilliard Bradley High School boys track and field coach Jon Agriesti does not feel confident that his team will be able to match Watkins Memorial’s depth in the OCC-Capital Division meet on Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14, at Hilliard Davidson. To give themselves a chance to win their first league championship, Agriesti said his top athletes must score well in several events and the Jaguars must edge Watkins Memorial in events when they have the opportunity. Bradley scored 52 points to finish fifth in the OCC-Capital meet last year behind Watkins Memorial (184), Big Walnut (137), New Albany (109) and Olentangy Orange (71) and ahead of Mount Vernon (41), Delaware (40) and Franklin Heights (24). “Watkins Memorial is the favorite because they’re well-balanced enough to score in most events and they’re deep enough to score three-deep in a lot of events,” Agriesti said. “We’re probably sitting at No. 2 coming into the meet, just ahead of Olentangy Orange, based on how well we’ve performed this season. We have more big weapons than Watkins Memorial, so we have the potential to challenge them

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Bradley, Darby and Davidson boys and girls track and field teams: BRADLEY May 7 — Boys: Finished fifth (70.5) in 10team Hilliard Bradley Invitational behind champion New Albany (126); Girls: Finished second (131) in nine-team Hilliard Bradley Invitational behind Pickerington Central (168) May 12, 14 — OCC-Capital meet at Davidson May 17-21 — Boys: Division I, district 3 meet at home (May 18-19, 21); Girls: Division I, district 2 meet at home (May 17-18, 21).

depending on how many events we can win. It’s going to be an issue of their depth versus our big scorers.” Sam Darling has been one of the top sprinters in the area this season. Agriesti hopes Darling can win the 100, 200 and 400 meters, as well as lead one of Bradley’s sprint relays to victory. Terell Stanford is expected to do

team Hilliard Bradley Invitational behind New Albany (126). Finishing first was Caleb Day in the 110 hurdles (15.06) and 300 hurdles (39.57); Girls: Finished third (99.5) in nineteam Hilliard Bradley Invitational behind Pickerington Central (168) and Bradley (131). Finishing first were Brianna Rispress in the 100 hurdles (15.44) and Caitlyn Rack in the 200 (26.09). May 12, 14 — OCC-Central meet at Davidson May 17-21 — Boys: Division I, district 2 meet at Bradley (May 17-18, 21); Girls: Division I, district 4 meet at Hamilton Township (May 1819, 21). Top four in each event advance to regional May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North. DAVIDSON May 3 — Boys: Def. Darby 91-41; Girls: Def.

well in the 100 and 200, and he will help lead Bradley’s 400 and 800 relays. Troy Kelleher, Jacob Markusic and Austin Alpeter all have the potential to score well in the 1,600 and 3,200. The Jaguars scored 70.5 points to place fifth in the 10-team Hilliard Bradley Invitational on May 7 behind champion New Albany (126).

Placing second for Bradley were Markusic in the 800 (2 minutes, 2.18 seconds) and Alpeter in the 3,200 (9:54.3). “Sam Darling could win his three open events and one relay, and Terell Stanford will do well, too,” Agriesti said. “We have the best group of milers in our conference and Troy, Jacob and Austin could all end up in the top five of that event. The long jump will be a good event for us as well. We’re close to Watkins Memorial in the 400, 1,600 and 3,200 relays, so those will be key races for us.” •Bradley girls coach Thom Nees is optimistic that his team will fare better in the OCC-Capital meet than a year ago, when the Jaguars scored 56 points to finish seventh behind Watkins Memorial (145.5), New Albany (138), Mount Vernon (82.5), Orange (82), Big Walnut (72) and Franklin Heights (62) and ahead of Delaware (25). “I would hope that we’ll be somewhere in the top five because we’ve had a pretty good year,” Nees said. “Watkins Memorial has a lot of depth and that’s the key to winning the league meet. Big Walnut and New Albany both look good, too, but Watkins Memorial would have to have a bad day and the rest of us would have to have a really good day to beat them

because of their advantage in depth.” Nees believes Emily Lebsock, Kayla Malik and Mackenzie Gill all could score well in the 100 as well as lead Bradley’s relays to high finishes. The Jaguars scored 131 points to place second in the nine-team Hilliard Bradley Invitational behind Pickerington Central (168). Lebsock, Malik, Kate Johnson and Sydney Rings won the 400 relay (50.05), and Malik won the 100 (12.59). Placing second were Cierra Allen in the 100 (1:01.71), Amanda Ciani in the 300 hurdles (49.27), Gill in the 200 (26.42), Lebsock, Allen, Kierra Alexander and Gill in the 1,600 relay (4:08.85), Allen in the long jump (16 feet, 4 1/4 inches) and Malik in the high jump (5-2). “Emily, Mackenzie and Kayla are having good years, and I’d like to see all three of them score in the 100 and help our relays do really well,” Nees said. “We should score well in the sprints, throws and long jump. I think we can score in all of the field events, really. We’re pretty solid two-deep, but having that third scorer in events makes a huge difference in a meet like this.”

Continued from page C1 But everyone gets along and, even though I had two great years at Darby, I am glad I am here at Bradley because it has allowed me to be a leader on the team and that is something that has helped me grow as a person. I have learned that if you have a challenge, then go out and work hard to reach that challenge. Being a leader has helped me work with all kinds of people and has helped me mature as an individual.” Roudabush, who will play softball at the University of Akron beginning next year, is as passionate about her sport as any athlete I have interviewed. “I just love everything about softball,” she said. “I love to hit, I love to field, I love to pitch, I love to run the bases, I love sliding and I love being around a group of teammates that all have a common goal, and that is to win a conference title and hopefully a whole lot more.” I’ll see you at a game.

Continued from page C1 times against Central and senior attacker Alex Ghilani scored twice. Darby has been winning despite its home field being in question because of heavy rain. The Panthers might play the remainder of their home games at Heritage Middle School. Schmeling said the game against Central was played at Darby, but rain that evening produced more standing water. That moved the Northview game to Heritage. “Everyone has been having to deal with the weather. We no longer are sure where our home games will be played because the football field has been underwater. We have had to roll with the punches,” Schmeling said. “We played at Bradley when we beat Orange. It was great of (Bradley) to help us out like that.” As the regular season winds down, Schmeling wants to see continued improvement from his team. “We need to work on our consistency,” he said. “We go great in spurts, but our defense needs more consistency. We need to play better for longer spans of time. Most coaches look to get four good quarters or two good halves from as many people as possible. •The Bradley boys have secured their first Hilliard Cup in only the program’s second season. The Jaguars beat Darby 7-6 on April 15 and defeated Davidson 9-7 on May 6 to earn the district honor for boys lacrosse. “The guys were just ready to play and they wanted it really badly,” coach Dom Marzano said. “We were down 4-2 at halftime (against Davidson) and we have been more of a second-half team all season. We had a bunch of leaders out there who didn’t want to lose. They played really hard and had a lot of fun.” Senior attacker Nick Petikas and senior midfielder Frankie Riffe scored three goals apiece and senior attacker Nick Sparks scored twice. Senior midfielder Tyler Hay added one goal and junior goalie Logan Muether had 13 saves. “(The win over Davidson) helps us take momentum into the final three games (of the regular season) and into the tournament draw next week,” said Marzano, whose team was 8-5 overall and 2-3 in the OCCOhio before playing Gahanna on May 11. “All season long chemistry has been our strong suit. The players have been jelling and that shows with the way they have been playing.” Marzano points to his defense as being a key to the team’s success. The Jaguars have allowed more than nine goals only twice this season. The first was a 139 loss to DeSales on April 1 and
