Veterans return to Point du Hoc By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Last July, when he was 89 years old, James “Pee Wee” Martin celebrated the 65th anniversary of America’s victory in World War II with a reprise of his youth: He made a parachute jump. He wants to do it again this year.
For most of the past 66 years since the war ended, Martin has lived on 50 acres near Dayton, in a house he and his wife built themselves. “I do all the things I used to do, just not as much,” Martin said. “We heat with wood and I split the wood. I have See VETERANS, page A3

When Shirley Neibarger heads to downtown Johnstown next Saturday, she’s not planning to shop. Instead, she and her husband John will don bright yellow shirts and volunteer for Clean Sweep Day, hosted by Downtown Johnstown, Inc. DJI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to revitalizing and preserving the downtown area of Johnstown. Volunteers for the third annual event will help spruce up the village by cleaning up and doing odd jobs along Main Street and in the town square. “I just love Johnstown and I like it to look nice,” Neibarger said. DJI and village council member Sharon Hendren said more volunteers are needed — and there are plenty of jobs for everybody.
“We don’t turn anybody away,” she said. “We clean up the streets. We clean up a lot of debris everywhere, cigarette butts around the park yard. We do a lot of weeding. We do mulching.” Hendren said residents should bring shovels and gloves and be ready to pitch in and work. “We can’t depend on the street department to do everything,” Hendren said, “They can’t do it all, so we try to help out.” While it’s a lot of hands-on activity and hard work Hendren said, “it’s a good feeling, good camaraderie … a good way to connect.” The Neibargers have lived in and around Johnstown for the past 43 years. “I grew up in New Albany but my heart’s always been in Johnstown,” Neibarger said.

ThisWeek Community Newspapers tax renewal first failed.
The Northridge Board of Education interviewed applicants May 9 for the seat vacated by Brent Garee on the board of education, choosing parent and income tax levy campaign leader Jayma Bammerlin for the spot. “Doors open up, and it seemed as if things were pointing me to interview,” Bammerlin said. “After the levy failed, I felt I needed to see what I could do to be involved and make sure the district is the best that it can be for my children. I want to put my experience this past year to good work.” Bammerlin has been increasingly active in the schools for
“When the levy failed last May (2010), I said to myself that I didn’t understand why it was failing and what was happening in our schools and I needed to get more involved,” Bammerlin said. “I started attending board meetings and finance committee meetings.” Soon after, she lost her job after 24 years in marketing. “In June I was laid off, and no one had stepped up to run the levy campaign,” Bammerlin said. “In August I was nominated to be secretary of the finance committee. I started substitute teaching in November, right as the See BAMMERLIN, page A2
Monroe Twp. fire department buys lifesaving equipment By JENNA GANT ThisWeek Community Newspapers When Monroe Township firefighter and paramedic Traci Scott made an emergency run two weeks ago her patient complained of abdominal pain. Even though he had stomach pain, Scott had a hunch and used the department’s cardiac monitor to check out his heart.
She performed an electrocardiogram (EKG) and determined the patient was having a heart attack and with that information Scott was better able to treat her patient and ultimately helped save his life. Fire chief Dudley Wright said cardiac monitors and defibrillators are vital to firefighters and paramedics like Scott. The Monroe Township Fire Department
DIRECTORY
recently bought three new cardiac monitors and defibrillators to help save more lives during their emergency runs, he said. “The majority of our runs are EMS in nature and so this is equipment we will use virtually every day,” Wright said. “It’s just a newer generation of technology.” Wright said the cardiac monitors have several new features compared to the department’s older version including capnog-
raphy technology, which helps diagnose certain respiratory disorders. Other features include constant blood pressure checks and a device to measure carbon monoxide levels in people. “The new cardiac monitors have the ability to measure the carbon monoxide in a patient’s blood stream and so for any carbon monoxide incident,” Wright said, “we’ll now be able to better diagnose that
condition.” The equipment is also 12-Lead instead of 3-Lead. Basically Wright said, it “gives you 12 views of the electrical activity of the heart” instead of three. He said the new defibrillators attached to the monitors also give more effective shocks to the heart and meet the current See EQUIPMENT, page A2

EQUIPMENT Continued from page A1 CPR guidelines. “If somebody is in cardiac arrest, we’re going to do everything we can do to save their life. Well the biphasic defibrillator gives us a much higher chance of successfully defibrillating the heart and restarting the heart,” Wright said. “Basically what we are seeing is the implementation of hospital based technology in the field,” he said. Wright said the department uses its cardiac monitors on a daily basis. In 2010 paramedics used the monitors 767 times. He said the three cardiac monitors cost $79,490 and said the new technology was greatly needed. Wright said the older monitors were from the 1990s and they are currently being phased out. Wright and his employees trained on the new cardiac monitors all last week, and Wright said he credits his firefighters for being well trained in using the new equip-
ment. “I think top notch equipment is very important, but I think that having highly trained staff that’s using the equipment is just as important,” he said. “Our goal during the day is to be out the door within 45 seconds. I think getting that state of the art equipment there and being able to use it skillfully is a tremendous asset,” Wright said. He said the fire department saved more than $28,600 on the monitors with a cooperative group purchase with departments in Upper Arlington, Madison Township, Grandview Heights, Norwich Township and Washington Township.
levy failed (a second time). I’ve been subbing at least one day a week. It’s brought me closer to understanding what teachers do.” When she is not substitute teaching, she is often volunteering in the schools. “I jumped in with both feet in the past year,” Bammerlin said. One of the first issues the board will face is whether to go back on the ballot for the fourth consecutive time, after three defeats. Bammerlin said the June meeting of the finance committee will be held June 8, when several alternatives are expected to be discussed. “That’s going to be our primary discussion next month at finance committee, to come up with multiple plans or options for the school district,” Bammerlin said. “I think we’ll do our best to be creative: What do we really need and how are we going to get it? Maybe we need to be doing something different from what is happening now.” The board has not yet begun to discuss whether to seek another levy, but Bammerlin said it is almost necessary to do so. “My thought is we probably need to (go back on the ballot), but it probably would not be the income tax,” Bammerlin said.
“The way the state of Ohio funds schools is they put a large part of the burden locally, and the only way we can do that is to fund it through some form of tax, and we can take donations. To say we’re not going to put anything on the ballot would not be fair. We have to do something, either increase funds or cut even more. Being at state minimums is pretty barebones.” Bammerlin said as a board member she will have two primary goals. “We need to look at the budget to see if we can save more money and look at how we can enhance what we offer in academics,” Bammerlin said. “The second thing I’d like to focus on is communication to the community. I think we’re going to start sending out the Viking Voice, the school newsletter. It’s been going home with children, but last night at the finance committee we talked about sending that to every household, all residents.” The finance committee will seek donations to pay for the newsletter, Bammerlin said. Bammerlin’s term will run through Dec. 31. To complete Garee’s term, which ends Dec. 31, 2013, she must run for election in November. www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

CLEAN Continued from page A1 She said helping make Johnstown look nice during Clean Sweep Day gives her a sense of pride. “I think when people do things that show pride in their town that it’s more of a buy-in,” Neibarger said. “If you are out there in the front line doing some of the work … and it makes everything look good. It gives you that pride of ‘we did that.’” Last year the Neibargers scrubbed business windows on Main Street. While they were “worn out by the end,” Neigbarger said, she still felt lucky with her job. “We get the easy part because we don’t have to get down on our knees,” Neibarger joked. Hendren said DJI is trying to get as many volunteers to help out during Clean Sweep Day be-
cause “the more people we have the less time it will take to clean everything up.” She also said those who love Johnstown and call it home should want to help make an impact for residents and those visiting the village. “Especially in the summer,” Hendren said. “Everybody comes in biking and you want to give a good impression.” DJI members and volunteers are meeting on May 21 at 8 a.m. at the town square, rain or shine. Hendren said the work should be done by 1 p.m. Those wanting to volunteer for Clean Sweep Day should call Ray Speck at (740) 967-1000 or email him at msspeck@gmail.com. Hendren said DJI is also looking for event sponsors. Interested businesses should also contact Speck. www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

hands trembling with fright. The next day he was shot. “I got shot right through the chest,” Jake said. “When I came to the medic was taking my boots off. I had a .45 in my holster and I said, ‘What do you think you’re doing? If I can get this .45 out you’ll never wear them.’He started crying.” In the ambulance, with some wounded German soldiers, Jake’s stretcher broke, so that he was wrapped in canvas. The ambulance drove off the road, rolling downhill into a stream. Everyone was killed except Jake. At their age—the youngest is Zerg, at 87—they are familiar with their friends dying. All are in good health. None considers himself wounded by the war; rather the opposite. “It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of history,” Pee Wee said. “I really feel sorry for people of my generation who did not get a chance to go, because it’s the greatest experience you’re going to have in your lifetime. It’s never going to happen like that again.”

a backhoe and I mix concrete.” On June 3, Martin will join Johnstown resident Don Jakeway and Woodsfield resident Herman Zerger in a special trip to Normandy for this year’s D-Day celebration. Jake, Zerg and Pee Wee, as they are known, will be traveling with a cohort of more than a dozen friends and family, courtesy of a trip organized by New Albany resident Mark Easton, who traveled to Normandy last year with Zerg. Easton and Zerg are both friends of former senator Max Cleland, now secretary for battlefield monuments. “We have been invited by Max Cleland and President Obama to the Point du Hoc rededication,” Easton said, noting that the famous D-Day landmark has been undergoing repairs. “The last big event there was President Reagan did a big speech there in 1984, the 40th anniversary of D-Day.” Zerg and Easton and friends will start the trip May 28, retracing Zerg’s battles in Italy. On June 3, Jake and Pee Wee will fly into Charles De Gaulle Airport. Pee Wee has not been to Europe since 1964, when he and his wife were feted by the Dutch government Jake was in Europe last in 1991. This will be Zerg’s seventh trip. All the men remember clearly months of fighting, harrowing near misses, lost soldiers and severe wounds. “I was in a foxhole next to the casino, and at that time that was the heaviest concentration of bombs dropped in the war up till that time, on the abbey,” Zerg said, remembering “And they dropped me in a foxhole. It was several hours. Wave after wave of bombers went over. I was deaf for a pretty
long time.” He can remember battles where a thousand men died. He remembers entering Rome. “We entered Rome on June 5, the day before D-Day,” Zerg said. “I remember marching past the Coliseum and the general was standing up in the Jeep, and thousands of Italians were cheering us on.” Jake remembers the Battle of the Bulge, the snow, German snipers killing his men one by one. “Snow was two three feet deep, and a sniper shot two of my men,” Jake said. “I only had six men. I decided we were going to go out and get the man, get the sniper. I’m walking through the snow, and I knew something was not right, I just had a bad feeling, and I look over and laying right there was the sniper pointing his Mauser rifle at me. All he had to do was pull the trigger and he could have killed me. I turned real slowly and he threw up his hands, and so did another one right beside him.” Not too long after, Jake remembers going to bed with his

Preparing your teen for college
Columbus2020!
International businesses 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 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 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 Coun-
ty, 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 Indiabased 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. When we travel to Germany and Israel, our goal will be to create awareness of the Columbus area and its 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 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!

Have a college-bound teen? It’s never too early to start prepping for financial and personal safety on campus. Having a child that is getting ready to graduate and head off to college can be an exciting time. It is also a great time to take the opportunity to teach teens how to keep their guards up and to protect themselves before they have to learn the hard way. So here are a few tips to consider discussing with your teen before he or she heads off to college: Give kids a chance to manage money. A great way to build your children’s financial foundation is to open a checking and savings account in their names. Ensure that they understand how to balance their checkbooks and make timely entries as money comes and goes. With a savings account, they’ll be able to see the value as the account grows and will feel em-
powered by contributing to the account. Add a bit of reality to financial conversations. If your teen is ERIC anxious to rent his first CLARKE apartment and live off campus, show him your monthly bills. This should help him gain a better understanding of how much things really cost and how much he will need to budget to cover his bills before he gets in over his head. Is a free T-shirt worth access to a Social Security number? The likely answer is, probably not, but our teens might not see it that way. This is a time when teens need to learn about how to care for their “identity” and how quickly thieves can steal their identity. This is an opportune time to

Is softball squad on final journey? The Northridge High School softball team has been on a roll for two seasons, but the possibility of a third seems to have been stopped in its tracks before the new school year begins this fall. On May 9, the Vikings secured at least a share of a second SCOTT consecutive HENNEN MBC championship with a 6-5 win over Loudonville in eight innings. Two days later, they beat 10th-ranked North Union 6-0, sending the team to its second consecutive Division III district semifinal. But on May 3, a 1-percent income tax levy was voted down by residents of the district, forcing the school board to live up to its word and cut extracurricular activities in the district as part of trimming the budget. That cloud hanging over the field may be magnified by the one-and-done nature of the postseason. “We definitely are more driven,” junior shortstop Kara Barclay said. “We have a chance to prove ourselves to everyone, every inning that we are Northridge softball and we want to show what we are able to do.” Last season, the Vikings lost to Sparta Highland 3-2 in a district final at Pickerington Central. That was no big deal because they would return seven starters from a team team that won the program’s first league title and finished 26-3 to set a program record for victories in a season. Northridge looked to continue that string into next year with six starters expected to return, but the team’s nucleus of juniors and sophomores won’t get that chance. Kimber Hazlett, the team’s all-state junior pitcher, isn’t happy but knows it’s like facing a bases-loaded jam with no outs. “I think we are really focused,” Hazlett said. “We need to stay up and concentrate on playing. We can’t let ourselves get down about it.” Barclay said sports are more than fun and games; they are part of being a well-rounded student. “It doesn’t matter what sport you are in, it helps you,” Barclay said. “Sports help me keep my grades up so I can play and I want to go to college to play sports.” But what does the future hold for Hazlett, Barclay and their teammates? Both expect to stay at the school because they consider themselves a part of the Northridge community. “I’m going to stay at Northridge and still play in the spring for a club team, but it does suck because it was supposed to have been our senior year,” said Hazlett, who also plays volleyball in the fall. “I will miss volleyball. I have never played club (volleyball) before, but I will See HENNEN, page A6

Softball team reaches semifinal By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Offensive production was the downfall for the Northridge High School softball team as it aimed for its first district title last season. But that hasn’t been a problem so far this postseason, as the Vikings had 10 hits in a 6-0 win over 10th-ranked and seventh-seeded Richwood North Union in a second-round Division III district game on May 11 at Johnstown-Monroe. The sixth-seeded Vikings will play
fifth-ranked and second-seeded Caledonia River Valley in a district semifinal on Monday, May 16, at Pickerington Central, with the winner playing fourthseeded Marion Pleasant or Milford Center Fairbanks in a district final Wednesday, May 18, at Central. Last season, Northridge beat River Valley 2-0 in a district semifinal before losing to fifth-seeded Sparta Highland 3-2. “I don’t know what it is, but the girls have been really doing well in batting practice, and it has carried over into the
games,” said coach Ralph Taylor, whose team had a first-round bye. “It started the other night against Loudonville (a 65 win in eight innings on May 9) and carried over (against North Union).” The win over Loudonville clinched at least a tie for a second consecutive MBC title as the Vikings improved to 12-1 in league play. The Redbirds dropped to 11-2 in the league. Against Loudonville, Kara Barclay had a double and single and Kayla Davison had a triple and single and drove in three runs. Chelsea Tietz and Shannon
Woosley each had a double. “We have been working really hard on out hitting,” said Barclay, whose team beat Fredericktown 5-0 on May 6 and Utica 4-1 on May 7. “We have a lot of confidence at the plate.” Kimber Hazlett had 14 strikeouts and three walks against Loudonville. Against North Union, Barclay had a double and single and an RBI and Davison had three singles with an RBI. Sarah Grindle had a double and Kassi DaviSee VIKINGS, page A6

Johnstown-Monroe’s Harley O’Flaherty (left) and Andrew Pizzurro enjoy the moment after the host Johnnies beat Northmor 4-2 in a first-round Division III tournament game May 10.
The Johnstown-Monroe High School baseball team is playing its best at the right time of the season. The 10th-seeded Johnnies reached a district semifinal for the first time since 2006 after defeating fourth-seeded Richwood North Union 5-1 on May 12 in a second-round Division III district game. Johnstown plays fifth-seeded Liberty Union in a district semifinal on Tuesday, May 17, at Dublin Jerome. The Lions improved to 18-8 after beating Amanda-Clearcreek 6-3 in the second round on May 12. “We don’t know a lot about (Liberty Union), but we also didn’t know much about North Union and played pretty well,” said coach Justin Richards, whose team improved to 13-7
overall with the win over North Union and was 9-4 in the MBC before playing Centerburg on May 13. “I keep telling the kids that it’s only four more games before we’re at state. That’s our goal.” The semifinal winner plays in a district final against topseeded Heath or Centerburg on Thursday, May 19, at Dublin Coffman. Heath improved to 166 after beating Madison Plains 11-2 on May 12. The Bulldogs swept a doubleheader with the Johnnies on April 2, winning 70 and 19-9 in 10 innings. Centerburg improved to 1111 after ousting eighth-seeded Marion Pleasant 13-12 in the second round on May 12. The Johnnies beat the Trojans 5-2 on April 18 and the teams were to play again May 13.

in a regional semifinal May 26 at Xenia against Carlisle, Waynesville, West Liberty-Salem or North Lewisburg Triad. The regional final is May 27 at Xenia. Against North Union, Brandon Mallett pitched a complete game and hit a two-run double in the first inning to help his cause. He finished with four strikeouts and one walk, surrendering a second-inning solo home run. Matt Smith added a two-run homer for the Johnnies and Andrew Pizzurro had three singles. Hunter Cecil also had a single. “Once again, like it’s been all year, we have had a great team win with everyone contributing,” Richards said. “Mallett was great on the mound for us and we had great hitting. I thought we came out and were in control from the beginning.” On May 10, the Johnnies defeated visiting Galion Northmor 4-2 in the first round of the tournament. Smith had a solo homer, Taylor Baughman had two singles and Scott Sammons had a double. Harley O’Flaherty threw a five-hitter. •The track and field teams open the postseason this week in the Division II district meet at Hamilton Township. The boys will be in district 2 with field events going Tuesday, May 17, running preliminaries on Wednesday, May 18, and running finals at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 21. The top four finishers in each event advance to the regional May 26 and 28 at Lexington. The girls compete in one 26team district with the running preliminaries on Tuesday, May 17, and the field events on Wednesday, May 18. The running finals are at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21. The top four finishers in each event advance to the regional meet May 26 and 28 in Dayton. “Being in one division with (26) teams, there is going to be more strategy in the way we enter our girls,” coach Brad Orr said. “We might specialize more for some of our runners to make sure they make it out to regional. I haven’t figured out who is going where yet, but we’ll come up with some sort of plan.” Last season, the Johnnies qualified for regional in three events — the 3,200-meter relay, 800 relay and high jump. The 3,200 relay of 2010 graduate Erin Radigan, junior Megan Schulze, 2010 graduate Kaila Cramer and junior Stephanie Loshbough finished seventh (9 minutes, 50.61 seconds), failing to earn a trip to state as the top four advanced. The 800 relay of senior Katrina Cartwright, sophomore Taylor Ross, junior Lizzy Wisma and sophomore Marissa Sheets finished ninth in 1:49.24. Sophomore Kendall Colvin tied for 10th in the high jump in 4 feet, 8 inches. In the MBC meet on May 10, the girls missed winning a third consecutive league title by two points after being edged by host Fredericktown 143-141. Northridge finished third with 96 points, followed by Loudonville (80), Centerburg (77), Utica (53), Danville (37) and East Knox (19). The Johnnies trailed Freder-
son had an RBI single. Hazlett struck out nine and did not walk a batter. She also had an RBI triple and single. “We really hit the ball hard (against North Union),” Taylor said. “The air was heavy or we would have hit at least four homers that I can think of.” The Vikings will need to continue their hitting against River Valley, which was 17-1 after beating Utica 3-1 on May 11. Courtney Rengert tossed a one-hitter, giving up a bunt single in the third inning. She struck out 11 and walked three. Pleasant improved to 14-8 with a 3-0 win over Centerburg on May 11. Julia Burton threw a threehitter with 12 strikeouts and one walk. Fairbanks beat Sparta Highland 6-0 on May 11 to improve to 12-9. Before throwing a two-hitter against Highland, pitcher Sarah Grunert had allowed 102 hits in 115 innings with 156 strikeouts and 41 walks. “The last two wins have been a total team effort,” Taylor said. “We’re just playing solid ball and making big plays when we need them.” •The track and field teams open the postseason this week in the Division II district meet at Hamilton Township. The boys will be in district 1 with field events going Tuesday, May 17, running preliminaries on Wednesday, May 18, and running finals at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 21. The top four finishers in each event advance to the regional meet May 26 and 28 at Lexington. The girls compete in one 26-team district with the running preliminaries on Tuesday, May 17, and the field events on Wednesday, May 18. The running finals are at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21. The top four finishers in each event advance to the regional meet May 26 and 28 in Dayton. A two-time regional qualifier, Michael Derringer was the lone regional qualifier for the boys team last season, finishing 13th in the 3,200 meters (11 minutes, 8.67 seconds). A three-time regional qualifier, Dana VanDervort was the only regional qualifier for the girls team last season, finishing ninth in the 200 (26.69). Last year at district, she ran a programrecord 26.24 in the 200 to place third. In the MBC meet on May 10, the girls team finished third (96), behind host Fredericktown (143) and Johnstown (141) and ahead of Loudonville (80), Centerburg (77), Utica (53), Danville (37) and East Knox (19). Hannah Shank won the 300 hurdles (49.99) and was third in the 100 hurdles (17.36). “This should give me a lot of confidence going into district, but I know I’ll be nervous going into those races,” Shank said. “I’m usually nervous shennen@thisweeknews.com at bigger meets, but it’s something I just have to www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

ally wanted to get my American Degree, which is the highest honor in FFA. I really wanted that and won’t be able to get that.” Taylor Mann is a sophomore for the Vikings, but still believes this might be her last chance at Northridge. She has thought about looking at other schools, but that’s something she can worry about over the summer. Right now, all she is thinking about is softball. “We have to go out and play our hearts out because we want this season to continue. We want this so bad,” Mann said. Next stop for the sixth-seeded Vikings will be Monday, May 16, at Pickerington Central in a district semifinal against fifthranked Caledonia River Valley. “It is what it is,” Northridge athletics director Wayne Howard said. “Right now, there is no sports next year. Will that change? I really don’t know. But for right now, there will be no sports.”
probably look into it.” Coach Ralph Taylor said the girls have just gone out and played like nothing is happening off the field. “It is terrible because of the success they have had over the past two seasons, but they have just been going out and doing their business,” said Taylor, whose team was 15-1 after beating North Union. “They have been showing a lot of pride in their school and pride in their teammates. They have been going out and working toward winning and taking things from there.” But the budget cuts aren’t only for sports — they also include band, quiz teams and vocational agriculture, better known as Future Farmers of America (FFA). That’s a slap in the face to a rural district and school like Northridge, which is surrounded by cornfields and pastures. “It’s not only softball, but volleyball and (FFA),” Barclay said. “I have earned my State Degree shennen@thisweeknews.com (third-year FFA award) and re- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
