Deficits have district eyeing cuts Five-year forecast projects $20.6 million deficit in fiscal year 2012 By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers With a $20.6 million deficit looming in fiscal year 2013, the Westerville school board has asked the administration to bring forth potential spending cuts at its May 23 meeting. The board heard a review of its revised five-year financial forecast, which it is required by state law to approve by

the end of May, from outgoing treasurer Scott Gooding at its May 9 work session. The five-year forecast shows that the district will have a $14-million surplus at the end of the current fiscal year on June 30. In fiscal year 2012, the district’s spending will outpace its revenues by $10.6 million, but with the cash it has in reserves, the district will be end that year

with $3.4 million on hand. To deal with those deficits, the district likely will have to look to cut its personnel costs, which account for 82 percent of its budget, said superintendent Dan Good. “We’re looking at a pretty significant deficit to cover,” Good said. “Without a reduction in personnel expenditures, we’re not sure that we would be able to do that.”

Good said the board would have to make decision on any cuts to the 2012 budget quickly, as preparations already are under way for the next school year. “In order to plan for courses in classes and staffing for next year and so students can make adjustments to schedule, we want to do that as quickly as possible,” Good said. Gooding said while the deficits are bleak, they are in line with what the dis-

WYBSL marks 60 years By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Baseball had a lot of big events in 1951. It was Willie Mays’rookie year. Mickey Mantle started his career with the Yankees. The first Topps baseball cards were released. And in Westerville, four baseball teams of 60 boys were formed as the Junior Boys Baseball League, which eventually became the Westerville Youth Baseball and Softball League. “It was a good year for baseball,” said league vice president Bob Crain. This year, the league is celebrating its 60-year history with a lineup of events and with the installation of baseball- and softball-related sculptures at three Westerville parks. “We decided last year to commemorate that, sort of as a reason to highlight the rich tradition of Westerville in youth sports and to put a spotlight on youth sports,” Crain said. The league put together a committee of community members and city representatives to decide how to mark the 60th anniversary of the league, which has grown to include 2,700 players, ages 4 to 18, and about 600 adult volunteers who serve as coaches, scorekeepers, team parents and league managers.

Steve Huzicko has been appointed to serve as interim treasurer for the Westerville City School District. The school board approved a contract with Huzicko on May 9. According to the contract, Huzicko will be paid $70 per hour for his services, with no benefits.

Gooding, who has served as the district’s treasurer since June 2004, announced his resignation earlier this month to take a position with the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio. His last day with the district will be May 16. Huzicko, who is retired, worked as treasurer for 14 years for the Worthington City School District and also served as treasurer for the Elyr-

Huzicko also has worked with the Ohio School Board Association since his retirement. “Steve comes to us with a wealth of experience,” Hoffman said. Hoffman said he expects that the district will employ Huzicko for a period of 90 to 120 days while the district works to secure a new treas-

Council considers water-rate increase By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Westerville’s water division has asked city council to raise water rates to help deal with increases in operating costs and with infrastructure improvements. Westerville City Council heard the first reading of the legislation May 3 that would raise water rates in July and again in January. If approved, the average residential water customer would see his or her monthly bill increase from the current $14.84 to $15.54 in July, a 4.7-percent increase, and to $16.59 in January, a 6.8-percent increase, said water utility manager Dick Lorenz. The minimum monthly charge for water usage, which affects 15 percent of Westerville’s water customers, would go from the current $4.65 to $4.80 in July and to $4.90 in January, Lorenz said. “Even with those two proposed increases, we remain extremely competitive with the surrounding markets,” Lorenz said. “Our water rates will remain the lowest in the area.” See WATER RATES, page A2

Westerville will waive 20 percent of the income taxes for five years and 100 percent of the property taxes for 12 years on a soon-to-be-constructed OhioHealth expansion. Westerville City Council approved the tax deals May 3 for the 46,000-square-foot facility that will be added to the OhioHealth campus at 300 Polaris Parkway. The city approved the expansion plans for the facility, which include a first-floor emergency department and second-story medical offices, in January. The expansion is expected to add 119 jobs and $11.7 million in payroll, said Jason Bechtold, Westerville economic development administrator. The 2010 payroll for the site was $14.3 million, Bechtold said. The property-tax abatement will become effective once the payroll for the site exceeds $20 million, he

trict has long projected. During its levy campaign in 2009, the district told voters that approving the levy would keep the district solvent through 2012. The five-year forecast approved in the fall showed similar, though not as steep, deficits. “We were projecting a deficit in 2013 then; we’re projecting a deficit in 2013

OHIOHEALTH Continued from page A1 said. The income-tax abatement is in line with others the city has offered, Bechtold said. “It falls within our parameters of a 20-percent offset for income tax,” he said. Even with the income-tax offset, Bechtold said, the expansion will still bring in $70,000 to schools and $211,000 to city over next five years. The property-tax waiver may be moot, Bechtold said, as the emergency department already is property-tax exempt, and the nonprofit OhioHealth is seeking to have the second story declared exempt, as well. The proposal did prompt some debate before being unanimously approved by council. Councilman Craig Treneff, who voted against the expansion in January due to neighborhood opposition, said he’s concerned about offering too many tax-incentive agreements, especially when the city begins combining property-tax and income-tax deals.

FORECAST Continued from page A1 now,” Gooding said. The deficit shown in the revised forecast is slightly worse than what was in the forecast approved by the board in October, Gooding said. That is due to worse-than-projected cuts in the money the district receives from the state and to bleak projections that property values in Westerville could drop by as much as 10 percent when the Franklin County and Delaware County auditors release reappraisal values later this year. The district was close in its estimate of how much state funding it would lose in the budget, Gooding said. In the last forecast, the district anticipated seeing $5.4 million in funding cuts from the state in fiscal year 2012, Gooding said. The actual number ended up at about $5.6 million. But the district was hurt by the elimination of the tangible personal-property tax loss replacement funds, Gooding said. The district anticipated receiving more than $4.4 million in those funds for next year, but lost $2.7 million of that money. That money then disappears in 2013, costing the district nearly $10 million over the next four years, Gooding said. “Short term, 2012, those numbers were right on target. Long term, nobody saw this coming,” Gooding said of the funding cuts. A significant decrease in property-tax reappraisals could have a serious negative impact on the district’s revenues, as three of the district’s levies currently are being collected at their voted millage, Gooding said. House Bill 920, which went into effect in 1976, effectively freezes voted property millage at the dollar amount collected in the first year a levy goes into effect. When property values decrease, millage levels can increase to save local governments from losing money, but they cannot increase beyond the voted millage. “Any loss in reappraisals will be dollars lost because the millage can’t be any more,” Gooding said. The district is now projecting a $4.2 million to $4.3 million loss in revenue, worse than was originally predicted, Gooding said. “At least it’s spread out over two fiscal years, but that is going to have a major impact on the five-year financial forecast,” he said.

May 12, 2011

“There’s some tipping point; I don’t know what it is,” Treneff said. “I’m starting to get uncomfortable with the combination.” Treneff said he understands the use of property-tax agreements in attracting businesses to the city and he supports the OhioHealth agreement because the company is a good business partner to the community. “It’s always better to get a percentage of something than 100 percent of nothing,” Treneff said. “OhioHealth is a significant asset to our business community. I’m happy to have them.” Council chairman Mike Heyeck said the taxabatement debate is an interesting one but the city has to look at the value of abatements in attracting businesses and look at the fact that even with abatements, the city will see more tax revenue than it currently does. “If we say no to abatements, we’re not going to get anybody here,” Heyeck said. “There’s more money coming in than being abated.”

Continued from page A1 Under the proposed increase, water rates would rise from $2.12 per cubic foot consumed to $2.22 in July and $2.37 in January for the first 1,500 cubic feet of usage, from $1.52 per cubic foot to $1.61 in July and $1.73 in January for the next 8,500 cubic feet of usage and from $0.92 per cubic foot to $0.99 in July and $1.07 in January for usage volumes totaling more than 10,000 cubic feet. The increases would boost the water fund’s revenue by 5.3 percent in July and by 7.2 percent in January. Lorenz said the city has only increased water rates once in the

last 10 years and only three times in the last 20. Much of the need for the rate increase comes from the city’s aging water infrastructure, Lorenz said. “We have a facility that’s 30 and 40 years old now” and an underground pipe system that’s more than 50 years old, he said. “They all need attention to keep operating reliably.” Lorenz cited the example of a recently burst pipe on South State Street. An old pipe had an extensive crack and because of the age of the pipe and the length of the crack, the pipe had to be replaced rather than patched. “That takes additional revenue

to repair that infrastructure,” he said. The city also plans a $6-million overhaul of its water treatment plant within the next two years to comply with changing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards. Much of that is going to have to be funded through water rates, city manager Dave Collinsworth has said, but Lorenz said that is not accounted for with the waterrate increases currently before council. “These rates don’t reflect that project; they reflect the engineering for it,” he said. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com

International business community Walmart would have will see Columbus as opportunity Weâ€™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. Itâ€™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 KENNY businesses to MCDONALD 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, Ahmedabad. We were able to rep-

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 regionâ€™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!

â€˜drastic impactâ€™ on traffic To the editor: Imagine what drastic impact even a scaled-down Walmart store built in Westerville Square would have on traffic coming from northeast of the plaza, on its way to I270 or points south of the outer belt. Itâ€™s already a nightmare traveling in this direction certain times of the day, when school traffic from South High School and Blendon Middle School is present. Add Walmart shoppers to the traffic mix of vehicles traveling south on Otterbein Avenue, turning west on Schrock Road, which then lines up in the single leftturn lane to head south on State Street. Canâ€™t you picture the traffic backing up onto Otterbein Avenue, while drivers wait at least three or four light changes and an extra 10 minutes to pass through the intersection, to try to get to work or an appointment on time? All of The Hadler Co.â€™s money canâ€™t solve this likely dilemma. Yes, a fully occupied shopping plaza is nice, but at what price to nearby residents who live northeast of the plaza and travel past it several times daily, as their shortest route to I-270? Wouldnâ€™t it make more sense to patiently bring in a variety of smaller stores to fill the plaza, whose combined customer traffic would surely be more manageable, given the locked-in street configuration at this location? This alternative would still generate new tax revenue for the city, while fitting in much better with the residential neighborhood surrounding the plaza. (Didnâ€™t George Hadler say he cares about being a good neighbor?) Besides, what nearby residents want to risk falling home values caused by the significant increase in southbound traffic congestion throughout the day by Walmart shoppers

Former bed-and-breakfast

Zoning change OKâ€™d for Otterbein property By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A former bed-and-breakfast is now part of the Otterbein University campus. Westerville City Council approved a zoning change May 3 for the property at 5 West St. The 0.5-acre property, on which is a 2,700-foot house, is zoned as Education Area 1, which is assigned to Otterbeinâ€™s campus. It was changed from Campus Vicinity Planned Neighborhood District Sub Area 2, which designated it for future campus expansion. Otterbein plans to use the property as academic offices, while using it for housing in the short term, likely for faculty or staff. Council members questioned Otterbeinâ€™s plans during an April 5 meeting, saying they did not want to see the property become permanent housing. â€œThat is not our intention,â€? Otterbein vice president of business affairs Rebecca Vazquez-Skillings told council. â€œWe understand that that would not be permitted to be used as residential.â€? Vazquez-Skillings said Otterbein is being vague about the exact future use for the site because the university is getting ready to create a master plan. That process isnâ€™t scheduled to begin until this summer and it will take more than a year to complete. The university has not yet identified whether the offices will be academic or administrative or how much of the house will be used to accommodate meeting space. Rick Rano, the real-estate agent for the site, urged council to approve the change in zoning to allow Otterbein to move forward with purchasing the site. Rano said another real-estate agent had the property listed as a bed-and-breakfast for more than a year and had no luck selling it. Rano said he had it listed that way for nine months and was not able to secure a buyer.

In the time it was listed as a single-family residence, Rano said, the calls he received expressing interest in the site were from outof-town investors looking to turn the property into student housing. â€œThose investors asked how many students they could rent the house out to. â€Ś The emphasis seemed to be on how many students they could fit,â€? Rano said. â€œIf Otterbein does not get this property, it will likely be sold to an investor for student housing.â€? Council chairman Mike Heyeck

said Ranoâ€™s claims heavily swayed the decision to approve the zoning change. â€œI think Otterbein would make a better user than anyone else on this property,â€? Heyeck said. Council members did question whether Otterbein would have to seek permission from the city if its leaders decided to use the property as long-term housing. Any other use would require a conditional-use permit from the Planning Commission, said city law director Bruce Bailey.

The association also assisted the district with its search for a superintendent in 2007, said board president Kristi Robbins. For the search, the association will handle the dissemination of marketing materials through print and electronic media, aggressive recruitment, a professional prescreening, reference checks and interviews, according to a district press releases. If the board requests services beyond that, the district will be charged $150 per hour for consultation meetings. The association also will charge a $50-per-hour transportation fee. The district also will be responsible for paying for the cost of advertising. The board still will be responsible for approving selection criteria, setting compensation and contract limits for the position, interviewing candidates, conducting site visits for candidates and negotiating contracts. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

sands of kids go through the league and thousands of coaches. We’re happy to do this as part of Westerville’s tradition of youth sports,” Crain said. “We have so many people, especially that have lived in the town a good portion of their life, and they’ve all been involved in the league from one time or another.” The 60th anniversary season will kick off May 14 with a “First Pitch Celebration” from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hoff Woods Park, 556 McCorkle Blvd. There will be a Westerville qualifier for the Hit, Pitch and Run tournament, with the winners advancing to sectionals at Huntington Park on May 21, a Wii home-run derby, ballpark concessions, team photos and an inflatable play area. There also will be softball games between Westerville city representatives and league officials, between the league’s umpires and coaches and be-

tween local television stations. On June 17, the league has partnered with the Westerville Department of Parks and Recreation to host an oldfashioned picnic at Heritage Park, 60 N. Cleveland Ave., with a lineup of family-friendly events. After sunset, the movie “The Sandlot” will be projected outside on the side of Everal Barn. July 2 will be the league’s “AllStar Saturday,” with all-star games and home-run derbies in Huber Village Park, 362 Huber Village Blvd., and at Highlands Park, 245 S. Spring Road. As part of the city’s Fourth of July celebrations, there also will be a 1850sstyle baseball game played between the Ohio Historical Society’s Muffins and the league’s alumni team at the Westerville Sports Complex, 325 N. Cleveland Ave. Events will wrap up in September at Huber Village Park. The league plans to dedicate a sculpture and a permanent “memorial wall”

WORLD-CLASS.

in the park commemorating those who have participated in the league. Statues also will be dedicated at Metzger Park in June and at Towers Park in August. Dates and times for the statue and memorial-wall dedications have not been set. The league also is looking to put together information on its history. Crain said some research is being done but finding information has been tricky. Some of the information from the league’s founding has been discovered, Crain said, and league officials believe that the Junior Boys Baseball League was one of the first to organize in central Ohio. “Westerville was a very small town at that time, about 4,000 people,” Crain said. “Four guys got together and put together a league of four teams. They were, of course, boys at that time. “We think we’re one of the oldest. We’re of course a lot older than the

(Westerville) Parks and Recreation department.” In 1975, the Junior Girls Softball League formed and in 1987, the Junior Tee-Ball League formed. The leagues came together as the Westerville Youth Baseball and Softball League in 1992. The league is interviewing its alumni to capture some of their memories of the league, and Crain said he expects the anniversary to help bring to the surface even more memories from people’s baseball and softball league days. “We’re lucky enough to have a lot of people who lived in the city all their lives. It’s going to be sort of interesting memories for a lot of people,” Crain said. “That’s the whole purpose of the anniversary: It will bring back memories from youth sports, whether they’re from Westerville or not, and most of them are good memories.” jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

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.

City hall renovations in the works for summer By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Westerville’s council chambers and mayor’s court, at 21 S. State St., could receive $350,000 in improvements this summer. City council heard the first reading to appropriate that amount for renovations at its May 3 meeting and authorized city staff to seek bids for the project. The renovations are driven by the lack of efficiency of the mayor’s court offices, which include four non-adjoining spaces, city administrative services director Adam Maxwell told council. That has been exacerbated by an increase in the amount of cases being heard in mayor’s court, Maxwell said. “Since 2007, we’ve seen significant increases in the cases processed in mayor’s court,” he said. “The existing spacing and layout we have for mayor’s court hasn’t always worked as efficiently as it could.” In 2007, 7,496 cases were heard in Westerville Mayor’s Court. That number was up to 9,252 in 2010, an increase of more than 23 percent. The renovations also will make improvements

to council chambers to improve access for people with disabilities, Maxwell said. “In the past, we’ve had to make temporary improvements” to accommodate people with disabilities, Maxwell said. With staff members permitted to go out and seek bids for the project, Maxwell said, the goal will be to bring the exact amount for the renovations back to council for the third reading of the appropriation. That could be as early as council’s June 7 meeting. The renovations will require mayor’s court and the meetings for some of the city’s boards and commissions to be relocated to Everal Barn, 60 N. Cleveland Ave., for eight weeks this summer, Maxwell said. Maxwell said Everal Barn was chosen as the alternative site because it was the one city facility that had adequate meeting space and parking and it meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. If the renovations are approved, they will be completed during city council’s summer break. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Genoa OKs improvements to Freeman and Route 3 By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Genoa Township trustees on May 6 approved a $1.01million contract to improve the state Route 3 and Freeman Road intersection. Contractor Shelly and Sands Inc. won the bidding process for the project. Construction is expected to

begin this month and end by August, in time for the start of school, said Rob Riley, chief deputy engineer for Delaware County. The project will include constructing left-turn lanes on state Route 3 at Freeman Road and installing a new traffic signal. The existing Genoa bicycle trail will be realigned at the intersection. Pedestrian signals and crosswalks will be added to cross Freeman

Road and state Route 3, the county engineer’s website says. Riley said lanes will be closed during construction, but the roads will remain open to traffic. Trustees have said it is a dangerous intersection and they look forward to the completion of the improvements. Trustees also: See GENOA, page B4

Concert band performance a homecoming for Otterbein alumna By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When Elizabeth Schleicher performs with the Westerville Concert Band this weekend, the principal singer with the St. Louis Symphony Chorus will perform in front of familiar faces. Schleicher, who also has had roles with the Lyric Opera of Chicago and with St. Louis’Union Avenue Opera and New Opera, is a 2006 graduate of Otterbein University. She performed with the Westerville Symphony in 2005 and 2006. Schleicher will serve as guest soloist for the Westerville Concert Band’s spring performance, which will be 3 p.m. May 15 at Westerville Central High School, 7118 Mount Royal Ave. Under the direction of Richard Suddendorf, the 80-piece concert band is set to perform Samuel

Hazo’s “Diamond FanFare,” Martin Lauridsen’s “O Magnum Mysterium,” the third movement of Elizabeth Howard HanSchleicher son’s Symphony No. 2, Jimmy McHugh’s “I Feel a Song Comin’On,” Malcolm Arnold’s “English Dances,” Claudio Grafulla’s “Washington Grays March” and Larry Clark’s “Exhilaration.” The Bexley native said she still considers central Ohio and Westerville home and she’s excited to perform with the concert band. She said has known Suddendorf a long time and her father plays the trumpet in the concert band. “Regardless of the size and the name, I know that (Suddendorf) and the group always make good

music,” Schleicher said. “People may not recognize the Westerville Concert Band when they look at my resume in the future, but they make good music and it’s helping me grow as a musician, as well.” Performing in Westerville also gives Schleicher’s family and friends, who may not be able to travel to St. Louis or Chicago, a chance to see her perform. “I’m lucky, too, having come from Columbus area that I have a lot of extended family and colleagues and friends in the area and (to be able to) come back and perform for them since not everyone can get to the performances that are farther away,” she said. While she’s in Westerville, Schleicher also will speak to students about the path she’s taken as a professional musician since she left Otterbein in 2006.

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

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.

• Heard fiscal officer Pat Myers say the township fiscal audit committee recommends that the township establish a reserve balance account, also called a rainy-day fund. The goal would be to set aside about 5 percent of the annual general fund revenue. • Placed $250,000 into a reserve balance account, also known as a rainy-day fund. The fund is a sub-account of the general fund. The account would be used to stabilize any part of the township’s budget or for anything deemed an emergency by the trustees. For instance, if there were a decrease in property values and a subsequent decrease in property tax revenue, the township could use the fund to help make up the difference, Myers has said. • Hired three part-time firefighter/paramedics: Judson Bates, Christopher Mize and Allison Holtsberry. • Approved a settlement with Dino’s Trucking and others for recovery of expenses for emergency services in response to a

truck leaking hazardous material response. The recovery was for $1,400. • Approved a purchase order for $20,000 for a road paving contract with McCoy Paving for miscellaneous roads, an expense that was not part of the 2011 budget plan, but that the township has funds for. • Spent $13,057 for 2011 life insurance premiums for township employees. • Accepted ownership of a 2004 Yamaha YZFR1 motorcycle, a 2007 Cadillac Escalade and a 2004 BMW 745 LI. The vehicles came from drug busts in the county and the township will sell them at auction in the coming months. • Approved spending $4,500 for a movie projector and sound system. Parks manager Ron Keil said the department has commitments of $2,000 in donation toward that purchase and likely will receive more. • Announced the Genoa Township Business & Entertainment Expo will be held May 21-22 and includes bicycle tours of 5, 15, and 25 miles on May 21.

Awnings allow homeowners more time for outdoor entertaining If you enjoy spending time on your deck or patio but feel like the blazing sun limits the time you spend outside, it might be time to take back your outdoor entertaining area with a retractable awning.

repellent and specifically designed to endure the elements. Acrylic also disperses, absorbs and reflects dangerous ultraviolet rays from the sun. The awnings can be operated manually or by a motor and can adjust to different angles.

“Many people typically use their backyard patios only during the early evening hours, when the sun is setting,” explained Matt Reeder of Weather Armor. “If you made a substantial investment in a deck or patio, it doesn’t make sense to be able to use it only a small percentage of the time.”

Rolltec awnings are available in a variety of designs and colors to match your home’s exterior. You can accessorize your awning with a variety of options, including a remote control, sun and wind sensors, and a protective hood to keep the rolled awning shielded from the elements. A manual override is available in case of power outages.

Weather Armor offers Rolltec brand awnings, a customizable solution to getting more use out of your patio or deck area. An awning can improve both the appearance and functionality of your home, and Rolltec awnings are custom-made to fit your specifications. They project farther from the home than any other awning on the market, and there are no permanent posts to interfere with your living space.

Weather Armor currently is offering $300 off an installed Rolltec awning when you mention this article. Call (614) 795-4800 to schedule a free estimate and take advantage of this summer special.

Many awnings on the market are made of vinyl, which might end up rotting after being exposed to the elements. Weather Armor’s Rolltec awnings are made of acrylic, which is water-

As a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List, Weather Armor has been helping central Ohio homeowners improve the value of their homes for more than 10 years. In addition to awnings, the company offers a complete line of Gutterglove products. Visit www.rolltecawnings.com for more information on its awnings.

The Rolltec retractable awning extends farther from your home than other awnings on the market to allow for more space for entertaining in the shade.

Resident arrested after standoff with police By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A 35-year-old Westerville man was arrested on charges of kidnapping and rape following a seven-hour standoff with police May 8. Police were called to the Woods at Polaris at 2 p.m. May 8, when a woman reported that she had been raped and held against her will in one of the apartments. The accused man, Michael Mears, barricaded himself in his apartment until almost 9 p.m. During the standoff, Westerville police and the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Unit made several attempts to contact the man and encourage him to come out of his apartment, said Westerville spokeswoman Christa Dickey. As police would do in any such case, they treated the man as though he could be armed,

Dickey said. “There was concern that there could be weapons in the apartment,” she said. “(Police) made sure that they were giving him the communication and the time he needed to respond.” Apartments surrounding Mears’ were evacuated and police set up a perimeter outside of the apartment, Dickey said. The standoff ended shortly after police shot tear gas into the man’s apartment, Dickey said. “He eventually surrendered and was taken into custody at that point,” she said. Mears was arraigned in Delaware County on May 9 on the kidnapping and rape charges, Dickey said. The case remains under investigation. The victim, who was treated at St. Ann’s Hospital, knew Mears, Dickey said. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

by Greg VanHorssen IS HEARING IMPAIRMENT LINKED WITH DEMENTIA RISK? Reporting what may be one of the best reasons yet to purchase a hearing instrument, new research shows that hearing-impaired individuals have an increased risk of developing dementia as they age. The study involved more than 600 men and women between ages 36 and 90 over a decade. Each of the study’s participants had a hearing test at the beginning of the study, and none had signs of dementia. By the end of the study, nine percent of its participants had some kind of dementia. Those with mild hearing losses had nearly twice the chance of developing dementia as those with normal hearing. The risk was threefold for those with moderate hearing losses and fivefold for severe impairment.

Local teams begin tourney By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

(fourth). In doubles, Pickerington Central’s Chase Thomas and Dallas Stang are the top seed, with Olentangy Liberty’s Mitchell Lothes and Alexander Hathaway (second), Thomas’ Mark Evans and Harrison Chang (third) and Liberty’s Vick Chhabria and Matt Wong (fourth) rounding

A solid run during the regular season and a favorable seed in the Division I district tournament had the Westerville Central High School baseball team feeling optimistic heading into the postseason. The Warhawks fell short in their quest to catch Olentangy in the OCC-Cardinal Division, as the Braves secured the title by beating Westerville South 71 on May 5 and Westerville North 9-2 on May 6. But Central coach Jeff Keifer remains confident in his team. “The thing that is nice about this group is they now expect to win,” Keifer said. “There’s no doubt. They’re not sure how it’s going to happen, but we’ve worked ourselves to the point where we’re going to find a way to win, and that’s what really good teams do. It’s not always pretty, we’re not run-ruling teams, but we’re finding a way to win right now.” The Warhawks, seeded fourth for the district tournament, had a first-round bye and played May 11 against Delaware or Walnut Ridge. The winner will advance to a district semifinal Tuesday, May 17, at Delaware with a spot in a district final on the line. That game will be played on May 19 at Olentangy. Central’s bracket includes third-seeded New Albany, seventh-seeded Pickerington Central and 11th-seeded Marysville. The Warhawks tuned up for the tournament by beating Olentangy Liberty 3-0 on May 5 behind winning pitcher Connor Sitz, who allowed six hits, struck out five and walked two in a complete-game effort. Chris Gygi had a double and RBI. The Warhawks scored five runs in the fifth inning on their way to a 10-8 win over Dublin Jerome on May 6. Gygi had two hits and four RBI, and Jake Simmerman added a double and single. Entering this week, Kyle Pollock led Central in hitting at .472 (based on 50 at-bats) followed by Jerry McCartney (.395), Danny Lawrence (.379) and Dylan West (.378). Pollock led the team in RBI with 32. John Whitaker led the pitching staff with an 5-2 record, 4.97 ERA, 44 strikeouts and 31 walks. Sitz was 4-2 with a 2.45 ERA, 44 strikeouts and 18 walks. “We’re really starting to come back together,” Pollock said. “We had a rut in the middle of the season, but we’ve started coming back.” •South entered the week at 6-12 overall and had played just four games since April 28. Coach Tim Bates called the inactivity a key in the team’s inconsistency this season.

Central wins Community Relays By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The three Westerville high school track and field programs came together May 6 at Westerville South to compete in the first Westerville Community Relays and to support those less fortunate. Seniors from the three programs coordinated a book drive in conjunction with the event. The books will be donated to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, and a portion of the gate receipts will be used to subsidize the Westerville Special Olympics’ equipment needs, according to South athletics director Scott

Dorne. The relays were shortened to nine events because of bad weather and Central placed first in the team event. The boys and girls combined for 80 points to finish ahead of South (56) and North (25). “I thought the meet went well,” South girls coach Jim Gaul said. “There were a ton of books. The whole purpose of the event was all three schools did community service together and then we brought the books in and had the meet. We thought it would be nice to do something as one.” North coach Johnny Jackson said his teams did not compete at full strength

because they also were scheduled to participate in the Jesse Owens Classic at Ohio State on May 7. “We couldn’t run a lot of our guys who would normally run some of the events,” Jackson said of the relays. “I wasn’t going to run our top guys in more than maybe one event. I like the format and it’s a very interesting idea.” At Ohio State, the Warriors boys finished fifth (45) behind first-place Centerville (119) and the girls were sixth (37) behind first-place Centerville (116.5). Jacob Dumford was first in the 2,000meter steeplechase (6 minutes, 27.27 seconds).

The three programs used last weekend’s competition to prepare for the OCCCardinal Division meet on Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14, at Pickerington North. “It’s a good tuneup for the relays that we ran and we wanted to get a look at,” Gaul said of the Westerville relays. “It’s more or less to get a race in and to get a workout.” Last season, the Central boys and girls each finished second in the OCCCardinal. The boys (111.5) finished behind OlenSee TRACK, page C3

After Chelsea Raker hit a tworun home run in the first inning to give the Westerville South High School softball team a 30 lead over Westerville North in an OCC-Cardinal Division game May 9, North first baseman Alex Brooker felt responsible for her squad’s deficit. That’s because Brooker had an opportunity to record the third out of the inning when South’s previous batter, Morgan Dietz, hit a popup into foul territory. But Brooker failed to call off catcher Tory Speakman who was trying to make the catch, and the ball dropped between them. Dietz ended up hitting a single, setting the stage for Raker’s homer. Brooker redeemed herself in the top of the fourth by hitting a two-run home run that gave North a 4-3 lead, and the Warriors went on to win 5-3. It was a key win for North, which improved to 12-7 overall and 10-2 in the OCC-Cardinal to move into a tie with Marysville for first place before league play resumed May 11. “I was really upset because I had a better angle than Tory to catch the ball, so I should have called for it,” Brooker said. “My mistake cost us a couple of runs, and I knew I had to do something to make up for it. So when I got a good pitch, I made it count.” Emily Bennett drove in a run with a double in the second inning and Lisa Simmons scored on a fielder’s choice in the third to chip away at South’s lead, before Brooker hit her home run and Speakman drove in a run with a single in the top of the fifth. Alli Rowland pitched a complete game for North. “Two years ago, we were a game away from winning the OCC and we lost to South (21), so we didn’t want to let that happen again,” Rowland said. “We knew we have to win the rest of our OCC games to win it, so this was a really important win for us. It gives us a big confidence boost.” After the South game, North had two league contests remaining on its schedule, including a game against Central on May 11. The Warriors will play host to

Marysville on Friday, May 13, in their OCC-Cardinal finale. The Monarchs lost to Olentangy 2-1 in nine innings on May 9 to drop to 10-2 in the OCCCardinal heading into a league game against Dublin Jerome on May 11. Against Olentangy, Marysville pitcher Cori Long gave up three hits and one walk while recording 12 strikeouts. “Marysville has a lot of tradition and they swing their bats well,” North coach Joe Francisco said. “They don’t strike out, so we have to play good defense to get them out.” North beat Marysville 4-1 on April 15 as Rowland pitched a six-hitter. The Warriors are trying for their first league championship since 2003. “We need to stay focused and we can’t get cocky just because we beat them once,” Brooker said. •The loss to North snapped a three-game winning streak for South. The Wildcats rallied from a two-run deficit to beat Big Walnut 4-3 in 10 innings on May 7, as Raker hit a solo home run in the top of the 10th. “We couldn’t have won the OCC at this point anyway, but North’s our rival, so we really wanted to beat them to finish

South opened district play against Hilliard Darby on May 10. The winner will play Thursday, May 12, at fifth-seeded Worthington Kilbourne in the second round.

DeSales Roundup

Softball team locks up another league title By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The DeSales High School softball team clinched at least a share of its second consecutive CCL title by beating Watterson 12-5 on May 5. The Stallions entered the week 4-0 in the CCL with a two-game lead over second-place Ready. Both teams had two league games left at the start of the week. “Even though it’s a small league, it’s a competitive league and even to say that you can come out on top of it is an accomplishment,” coach Julie Barber said. “I think every team in our league is going to have a successful tournament run.” The Stallions are the top seed in the Division II district tournament and had a first-round bye. They played host to Bexley on May 11, with the winner playing Big Walnut or Whitehall in a district semifinal Monday, May 16, at Pickerington North. The district final is Wednesday, May 18, at Pickerington Central, with potential opponents including third-seeded Hilliard Bradley and fourthseeded Licking Valley. Sarah Flint hit a three-run home run to help DeSales build a 9-0 lead against Watterson, but the Eagles scored five runs in the sixth inning to get back in the game. Barber has emphasized to her players the importance of avoiding lapses such as the one the Stallions had in the sixth inning against Watterson in the postseason. “It took us until (Watterson) put a little (pressure) on (us) before we got focused,” Barber said. “We always talk about having respect for your opponent, but the thing is, you have to play. You have to master the game and I don’t think we did that (against Watterson). We should come out and flat out be better (than the opponent) each game.” “I think (against Watterson)

we learned we have to come out hard each game and always play to our potential,” Flint said. The Stallions play host to Ready in their CCL and regular-season finale on Thursday, May 12. Barber said the Silver Knights will be a good test for her team. DeSales beat Ready 3-2 on April 14. “Right now, we’re just working to come together and be a better team,” said Kelsey Albanese, who hit a solo homer against Watterson. “We definitely feed off each other.

They also scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh to beat Watterson 5-4 on April 15. DeSales avenged an 8-0 loss to Hartley on April 8 with a strong pitching performance by T.J. Alas, who allowed one hit in six innings. •The track and field teams will compete in the CCL meet Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14, at Columbus School for Girls. The boys team tied Watterson for fourth in the CCL last season with 73.5 points, behind St. Charles (132), Hartley (98) and Ready (93) and ahead of Worthington Christian (23). The girls team finished third (90) a year ago, behind Hartley (160) and Ready (108) and ahead of CSG (50) and Worthington Christian (13). Worthington Christian is no longer in the CCL. •John Acomb and Michael Rosile of the boys tennis team are seeded second in doubles in the Division II sectional tournament, which will be held Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14, at Columbus Academy. Also playing doubles for the Stallions at the sectional are Gian Carlo DiMichaelangelo and Sonny DiMichaelangelo.

The top four finishers in singles and doubles advance to the district tournament May 20-21 at Academy. •COLLEGE SIGNING — Senior Cooper Staton was expected to sign May 10 to swim at the University of Kentucky.

The girls (118.5) finished behind Scioto (158) and ahead of Olentangy (79), South (71), Liberty (68.5), North (66), Marysville (60) and Jerome (41). Central girls coach Ryan Borland expects Scioto to again be the team to beat. “Scioto is the best team right now that I’ve seen in our conference,” Borland said. “Us, Olentangy and South are probably right there in the mix as well. It’s going to be a tough meet. There will definitely be a division between the first four teams and the second four, but I expect the first four to be relatively close.” Borland said senior Kristen Norris has a solid chance to win the league title in the long jump. Central boys coach Justin Rush also expects his team to contend for the title. “This is what we’ve prepared for all season,” Rush said. “Our

No. 1 goal is to win the conference meet and we’ve done everything we’ve could to prepare ourselves to do that.” Rush said Channing Doermann could win league titles in the 100, 200 and 400, along with the 400 and 800 relays. Although Jackson knows his teams will be hard-pressed to win titles, he hopes to see some solid performances. “I want to see how well some of the individuals do,” Jackson said. “I don’t think we have enough firepower to win it, so if we can be right there in the middle and we can knock off a few teams, that would actually be our goal.” South coaches Jim and Jimmy Gaul expect to receive several strong performances. Jim Gaul expects Nikia Buckingham in the high jump and the girls 400, 800 and 1,600 relays to contend for league titles. He said Olentangy could join Scioto and Central as teams to beat. “Olentangy looks really good; so does Dublin Scioto,” Jim Gaul said. “The Westerville Central team put on a show (May 6),

too. They’re really good. I think we’ll be in the top half for the girls. We don’t have a lot of distance kids. We have really good kids, just not enough to go around, so we’re going to be really thin there. Our goal is to get as many kids on all-league teams as we can and compete, and let the scores fall where they may.” Boys coach Jimmy Gaul likes his team’s balance heading into the postseason. “The reason we’ve taken home some trophies this year is we have guys that are scoring in the hurdles, we have distance guys and relays that are scoring,” he said.

“We have vaulters, jumpers, throwers, so we have a real balanced squad and a group of guys that really get along and push each other. I’m happy with the way the season has progressed. I just wish we would have better weather so these guys could get the races in that they deserve to get in as hard as they train.” Jimmy Gaul said senior Ray Ball, who will play football at Wisconsin, should contend for a league title in the shot put, along with Noah Prentiss in the 100. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

winter and I told him then that I was interested in going there. It came down to Ohio State and Louisville and it was a really tough decision, but I have a chance to be a part of a great team, which is a real honor.” “(Sawatzki’s) a very positive thinker,” Chase said. “She’s very motivated and has a great voice as a coxswain. At 115 pounds, she realized that if she wanted to compete in college she’d have to do it as a coxswain or not row.” Poll formerly competed in swimming before giving it up after eight years to pursue rowing during her junior year. She quickly settled in as Westerville’s heavyweight 8 coxswain and eventually chose Ohio State over Duke, Indiana and Virginia. “I was a really hard-core swimmer for eight years and decided that I hated it,” said Poll, who is considering majoring in animal behavior with the hope of working with dolphins. “After I came out for crew, I decided that my 5-foot-3, 105-pound body wasn’t cut out for rowing, so I ended up being the first varsity coxswain. I got really, really lucky. “I’m so determined and won’t take no for an answer. I will do anything for the girls on my boat and I take my position very seriously. Ohio State has a lot of school pride and they have won NCAA championships before and I wanted to be a part of a program that’s rising.” “Amanda just started (being a) coxswain a year ago, but she’s the type of girl who’s very positive and very caring,” Chase said. “She’s very determined and has done an amazing job to be the coxswain on my heavyweight varsity 8. The girls love her, and she’s a leader.”

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

There are 12 seniors among the 62 athletes listed on the Ohio State University women’s rowing team’s roster this spring. The fact that four of those seniors are coxswains who compete on key boats didn’t go unnoticed over the past few months to the nation’s 11th-ranked team as it prepares to compete in the Big Ten Championships on Sunday, May 15, in Indianapolis. During the third week of April, the Buckeyes filled two of those holes when Amanda Poll and Alex Sawatzki of the Westerville high school club crew team signed letters of intent to compete as coxswains for Ohio State next year. Poll is a senior at New Albany who signed April 18 and Sawatzki is a senior at Westerville North who signed April 19. “(Ohio State coach Andy Teitelbaum) is graduating quite a few coxswains,” Westerville girls rowing coach Trish Chase said. “In college, Amanda and Alex will probably be the coxswain of their first varsity 8, j.v. 8 or novice 8 next year.” Sawatzki has been competing in rowing since she was in eighth grade and is the coxswain of Westerville’s lightweight 8 boat. She began competing in the sport as a rower before switching to coxswain. Sawatzki chose Ohio State over Louisville. “I used to be (in the) stroke (seat as a rower), so that gives me a real advantage in being a coxswain,” said Sawatzki, who is planning to major in communications or hospice nursing. “Our (lightweight 8) boat as a whole has been very successful.

At first singles, Stein opened the tournament with a 10-2 win over Westerville South’s James Petit and defeated Buchanan 101 in a semifinal. In the only final that began before play was suspended, Stein took a 6-1 lead over Olentangy Liberty’s Mitchell Lothes. Also going 2-0 for Jerome were Seitz at second singles, Kuo at third singles, and Alex Hessler and Jarden Judson at first doubles. The Celtics’ second-doubles team of Sunny Feng and Cameron Sheley opened with a victory and were trailing Dublin Scioto’s Craig Zeid and Hement Reddy 6-5 before their semifinal was suspended. “This was a positive day for us and I feel good about where we’re at right now,” Jerome

Lothes opened with a 10-0 win over Olentangy’s Chris Miller before defeating Ferguson 10-3 in a semifinal. Hathaway (second singles) and Chhabria (third singles) also went 2-0 to reach finals.

“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 page D3

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

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

Financial finesse

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 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 “identity” 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 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. Fifth Third Bank will be hosting “College Prep 101 Open Houses” on May 18, 20 and 21 at area banking centers. Please contact Eric Clarke, Membership Banking Specialist for Fifth Third Bank, to RSVP at 614-744-5357 or Eric.Clarke@53.com.
