32 seek development services post By NATE ELLIS ThisWeek Community Newspapers Pickerington has received 32 applications from candidates seeking to succeed Susan Crotty as the city’s development services director. City manager Bill Vance said on Tuesday, May 17, he hopes to have a new development services director in place by sometime in July.
As of the April 30 deadline, 32 people had applied for the position, which as advertised, would pay $75,000. Additionally, Violet Township has proposed the township and city share the services of Joy Davis, Violet Township’s current economic development specialist. Violet Township director of operations Bill Yaple suggested the move in a letter received by the city on May 13.
“I would like for you to consider cost sharing with Violet Township for the position of an economic development person,” Yaple wrote. “I would like for us to discuss the possibility of sharing Joy Davis, Violet Township economic development specialist, with the city of Pickerington, which may in the future reduce both of our costs for that position.” As of ThisWeek’s Tuesday press time,
Vance said the township’s offer is intriguing because it potentially could save Pickerington money and it would provide for a regional approach to economic development. However,Vance said that the city’s development services director, in addition to driving economic development in Pickerington through business recruitment, retention and expansion, should also have land-use expertise and be able to work
with the city’s current planning staff. “If we were to pursue the option made available by the township, we would have to seek some additional, supplementary planning services,” Vance said. “The candidates we’re seeking, ideally, would have experience in economic development and planning department services.” See DEVELOPMENT POST, page A2
District to change K-4 grade, progress analysis
SHADES OF SUMMER

Lions Club a $100 entry fee, which goes toward the fundraising efforts, and donates its pizza for the taste tests. Admission is $4 per person, which entitles attendees to sample each pizza at the challenge by way of a “blind” taste test. Members of the public then will vote for “Best Overall Pizza,” “Best Sauce” and “Best Crust.” A “celebrity judges” panel, including Pickerington Mayor Mitch O’Brien, Boy Scout Troop 256 scoutmaster Jerry Pritchard, Kiwanis Club representative and former Pickerington City Councilman Mike Sabatino and GOOD Program founder Ron Derry and his wife, Pam, also will participate in a blind taste test.
The Pickerington Local School District is planning to change the way it evaluates and charts student progress in kindergarten through fourth grade. For decades, PLSD students and parents have relied on quarterly report cards, which gave letter grades, to chart academic progress. That will change for students in grades K-4 next school year, as the district seeks to implement a new evaluation system that complies with evolving state standards and, district officials said, is designed to more accurately analyze student progress. “We hope to give parents a better picture of their student’s progress under the new (state) standards,” said Susan Chamberlain, an academic coach at Fairfield Elementary. According to Chamberlain, the Ohio Department of Education created the new “standards-based” reporting system, which lists the most important skills students should learn in each subject at a particular grade level. It also is designed to chart student progress, rather than their average grades, over a course of weeks. Instead of letter grades, students receive marks that show how well they have mastered the skills. They will receive an “N” if they haven’t met the grade level standard, a “P” if they are making progress toward meeting the grade level standard and an “M” if they are meeting the grade level standard. An “E” will be given to students who consistently exceed grade level standards. “The marks might show whether the student is advanced, proficient, basic or below basic for each standard or they might be numbers representing whether students meet, exceed or approach each standard,” a PLSD document called “Rethinking Report Cards” states. “Students usually get separate marks for effort and work habits, which are important for parents to keep tabs on even if these characteristics aren’t included in the assessment of the student’s academic skills.” Instead of receiving individual grades for specific curriculum areas, the standards-based re-

Lions Club ‘Pizza Challenge’ marks 10 years By NATE ELLIS This Week Community Newspapers An annual fundraiser that helps support community programs while establishing bragging rights for local pizza shops will reach a milestone on May 26. The Pickerington Lions Club will host its 10th annual “Pizza Challenge” at 7 p.m. that day at the Pickerington Senior Center, 150 Hereford Drive. The popular event draws up to 250 attendees each year and helps raise money that allows the local Lions Club to support signature aid efforts, such as getting eye exams and eyeglasses for those with visual problems, and the GOOD Program, which works to teach children in the Pickerington Local School District how to overcome physical and other adversities.
The challenge also is an opportunity for local pizza lovers to sample a cross-section of pies sold in the community and to vote for the ones they like the best. “It’s a fun fundraiser,” said Brian Fox, Pickerington Lions Club president. “Because it’s a public event, 100 percent of the proceeds go to our charitable programs. So all of the money raised goes back into the community to help people and programs.” At ThisWeek’s press time on May 17, King’s, Catalina’s, Romeo’s, Hungry Holies, Classic Pizza, Juno’s and Credo’s had agreed to enter their pizzas in the challenge. Others interested in joining the competition can do so by calling (614) 833-4728. Each pizza business that participates pays the
Fifth annual Pickerington ‘Kidz Festival’ scheduled for May 22 By NATE ELLIS This Week Community Newspapers The fifth installment of an annual festival to provide free fun to local children will take place this weekend in Victory Park. Years ago, Pickerington resident Lenni Male hoped to keep local parents connected to events and activities that could benefit children, or just give them opportunities to be kids.
The result was Male’s creation of www.pickeringtonkidz.com, which contains events listings and information about community programs that provide learning and recreational opportunities for local children. Since then, Male also decided to establish a one-day celebration of Pickerington kids, as well as her brand, Pickerington Kidz. This year will mark the fifth anniversary of the latter endeavor, when the

The live entertainment available this year on the park’s tennis courts will in-
clude bands, gymnastics, theater performances, cheerleading shows and dog obedience presentations. “About every 20 minutes, we will have a new activity coming on,” Male said.

Disaster in Alabama
Reynoldsburg church aims to help tornado relief efforts By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Members of the Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church are organizing a youth relief mission to tornado-ravaged Alabama over Memorial Day weekend. Church spokesperson Brenda Hauser said the idea for the mission was inspired by Pickerington High School Central junior Sarah Steele, who is actively involved in the church’s youth group. Hauser said one victim, Jessica Petty, a resident of Huntsville, Ala., the sister of one of the church’s teaching pastors, Tasha Levert, had fled the area to visit her sister after the tornadoes hit the area in late April. She said Petty was showing church members photos of the devastation in and around Huntsville when Steele pitched the idea for a relief mission to the area. As a result, students from high schools in Reynoldsburg and Pickerington have been given excused absences by their administrators in support of the effort. “I think it’s a really cool thing that the Reynoldsburg and Pickerington Central and North high school districts believe this is a worthy project for their students and have given them excused absences,� Hauser said. She said the church’s goal is to organize 54 stu-
dents to go to Harvest, Ala., one of the communities outside of Huntsville that was hit hard by the tornadoes. They will be helping victims by removing debris and performing general cleanup duties, she said. Reynoldsburg UMC youth pastor Tim Levert is working with Pastor Greg Johnson of the Summit Crossing Community Church in Madison, Ala., to coordinate housing for the students and their chaperones. Levert said anytime anyone can help people in need, it’s always a good thing. “It helps build character in us if we’re able to help others,� he said. “My experience has been when we go with the intention to help others, God has always done more in our own hearts. “And to affirm, for a 16-year-old girl to say, ‘Hey, I want to sacrifice my time and money and go and see if we can help’ — that’s a very positive thing,� he said. Hauser said the students and chaperones will be leaving for Alabama from Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church at 6 a.m. on Thursday, May 26, and are expected to return on May 29. She said those interested in contributing to offset the cost of supplies for the trip can visit the website www.rumcgives.com to make a donation. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Victory Park Then: W. B. “Doc” Taylor (center) is shown in this mid-1930s photo with his sons, Emerson (left), and Dr. Kenneth Taylor. “Doc” Taylor came to Pickerington to practice medicine in 1902 and continued until his death in 1944. Taylor and A. J. Good, both prominent civic leaders, donated property adjacent to Lockville Road in Olde Pickerington Village for “recreational, religious or educational purposes” in 1942. A few years later, the property was named “Victory Park” to coincide with the end of World War II. Initially, two regulation-size tennis courts and a regulation basketball court were constructed in the park at a cost of $2,600. In 1947, a combination swing and slide was installed. Later, shuffleboard courts and a shelter house were added. In 1977, Taylor’s sons donated additional acreage to double the size of Victory Park. Now: Victory Park is the most popular and widely utilized park in Pickerington. It is the site of many annual Olde Village community events including the Fourth of July celebration, the Violet Festival, the Lions Club Labor Day celebration and the Pickerington Kidz Festival. The latter is a free event designed for toddlers to sixth-graders. It will be held from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 22. Another child-friendly venue in Olde Pickerington Village is the Pickerington-Violet Township Historical Society Museum located at 15 E. Columbus St. The museum is open each Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and admission is free.

Post-Revolutionary War land was cheap in Ohio Ohio did not exist when the Nelsons came into the place that later would become Columbus. In 1800, central Ohio was truly on the edge of the frontier that had been claimed finally by the victory of Gen. Anthony Wayne’s army at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. It was a long, difficult and nasty struggle. In the years after the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, Great Britain had claimed by treaty rights most of the land north and west of the Ohio River. It was a rich land with deep forests, great prairies and rivers that ran

The story also erroneously reported that Councilman Brian Wisniewski voted to approve the plan. The plan was kept in committee so council could further discuss it at a May 17 special finance committee meeting.

AS IT WERE Continued from page A4 little money, it had a lot of land. So the new country took the obvious course and paid its soldiers and creditors in land and then offered much of what remained for sale. It was the promise of that new and inexpensive land that drew people like David Nelson and his family to Ohio. Born in 1752, David Nelson was the oldest son of Robert and Martha Nelson of Anderson’s Ferry, Pa. When David was 3, the family moved to the frontier of Juniata County, Pa., and it was there that David came of age. After the outbreak of the American Revolution, he enlisted with several relatives in the “Eighth Company, Fourth Battalion of Associators and Militia of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania” on July 31, 1777. On May 14, 1778, he was commissioned a captain after serving through the long winter at Valley Forge. In March 1779, David returned to his home and soon married Margaret Logan, a widow with two young sons. In addition to raising the two boys, David and Margaret had seven children of their own. The Nelsons lived in central Pennsylvania until 1798, when they decided to move west to the new and inexpensive lands in Ohio. A grandchild later wrote a description of David Nelson in those years. “He was generous but stern, with a strict sense of duty and very strong in his prejudices. He was a very handsome man, abovemedium height, a fine person, regular features, black curly hair, very dark brown, almost black eyes.” His wife, Margaret, once was described as “the prettiest woman in the Lost Creek Valley” of Pennsylvania. “She had dark-brown hair, hazel eyes, regular features,

fine complexion and was of a mild and kindly disposition.” Like many other people of their generation, the Nelsons came to believe that a better life awaited them in the new lands north and west of the Ohio River. They moved first to Chillicothe and lived there for a couple of years while David and his oldest son, Robert, looked for a new home in central Ohio. At length they found it along Alum Creek in what then was called the Refugee Tract. Set aside for people from Nova Scotia who had lost land because of their loyalty to the American Revolution, the tract began at the Scioto River and ran east between what is now Fifth Avenue and Refugee Road. After the claims of the refugees were settled, the balance of the tract was made available in open sale. Some of it along Alum Creek was acquired by David Nelson and his family. Arriving in central Ohio in 1800, the Nelsons first built a log house that would serve as the family home for the next two decades. Margaret Nelson wrote to her son by a former marriage in 1801: “Our new cabin is dry, and we have plenty of room, and no matter what the weather, the chimney does not smoke. My two ewes and three lambs had 10 pounds of clean, picked wool, which we are beginning to feel the need of. Last year, we had 50 yards of linen out of our hemp. We have lost two milch cows and one heifer. They are dead before we know they are sick. We have four milch cows and two heifers yet, without going in debt for them. The families along the creek have been tolerably healthy, except Mr. Turner. He had the fever and ague and Mr. Hamilton and some of the children, too. I have had my health this season as well as ever I had.” In 1819, David Nelson built a
large brick house along the road that later would bear his name. Strong in their religious faith, they were early supporters of the first Presbyterian Church founded in the area by the Rev. James Hoge. For many years, the family traveled along a mud path through the forest to the church, first in Franklinton and then in the new village of Columbus. The path later became Broad Street. A later letter from Margaret Nelson to her son described the importance of religion in their lives: “We have had an uncommon cold winter and a cold, wet spring. The fruit is nearly all killed, and the cornfields in many places will have to be planted over. There has been a revival of religion this winter, more than I have ever known, in Columbus, Chillicothe and different places. A number have been added to the church, both old and young. “The Presbyterian Meeting House was finished in the winter, when the roads were good for sleighing and the house was dedicated and the sacrament held the same week. There were four or five ministers in town, and one stayed six or eight weeks, visiting from house to house, having a sermon or prayer meeting at night and Bible classes.” The Nelsons lived in one of the first suburbs of the new capital city of Ohio for a number of years until the death of David Nelson in 1829. His wife, Margaret, died two years later in 1831. At the corner of Clifton Avenue and Nelson Road, a small sign remembers the Nelson mill and the frontier community that once was around it. And just up the road on the left — within sight of the sign -— still stands the red-brick house of the Nelsons of Nelson Road. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

School news Volosin receives ‘Top 25’ honor Natalie Volosin, a senior at Pickerington High School North, created an installation piece that was selected for the “Top 25 in the State” honor in the Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition. She received the 2011 Governor’s Award of Excellence, the highest honor the state of Ohio awards to art students. Less than 1 percent of the 12,000 entries were selected for the honor. Volosin received scholarship offers from the Columbus College of Art & Design, Watkins College of Art, Otterbein University and Ashland University. She plans to attend the Columbus College of Art & Design this fall and plans to major in fine arts or illustration. Volosin’s installation piece, “Freedom,” is 9 feet by 7 feet by 4 feet. The piece contains approximately 140 bags of colored water graduated from light to dark and five sculpted goldfish, each measuring approximately 18 inches. She rented a truck to transport the piece.

Students will receive a separate mark for each standard. “Letter grades are often calculated by combining how well the student met his particular teacher’s expectations, how he performed on assignments and tests, and how much effort the teacher believes he put in,” the “Rethinking” document states. “Letter grades do not tell parents which skills their children have mastered or whether they are working at grade level. “Standards-based report cards should provide more consistency between teachers than traditional report cards, because all students are evaluated on the same grade-appropriate skills. Parents can see exactly which skills and knowledge their children have learned.” Chamberlain said the district has been developing the new reporting system for the past 18 months so it complies with new state standards that will be required of all Ohio districts by June 2014. She said the new system will give parents and

students a better picture of academic progress, while helping teachers become more consistent in evaluating student achievement. “Students are a partner in the learning process,” she said. “Students are told which standards they have met and which ones they haven’t, and students will be given learning goals at the beginning of each lesson.” Chamberlain said the PLSD developed its new reporting system after analyzing similar systems being implemented in other central Ohio school districts, including Hilliard, New Albany and Westerville. “I like this because it shows how kids are progressing,” said superintendent Karen Mantia. “I also like it as a parent because I know what my child can and can’t do. “I think it does align with the core standards.” The PLSD Board of Education received an overview of the new reporting system during its May 9 meeting. It’s expected to approve the plan at a second May meeting, which has not yet been scheduled. nellis@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

title was announced. There was plenty of big moments for the North girls and Central boys teams as well, giving all four of the district’s programs reasons to be excited heading into the Division I district meets.

Pickerington High School North boys track and field coach Dave Spring could not stop marveling May 14 as he counted how many program records were broken while his team defended its OCCOhio Division championship on its home track. Rain began falling in the late afternoon, and there was an especially wet moment for Central girls coach Robb Hammond, who was doused with a cooler of water when his team’s conference
•The North boys team broke five program records on the way to scoring 156 points to top the eight-team field. Reynoldsburg (107), Gahanna (92), Lancaster (83), Pickerington Central (80), Newark (52), Groveport (50.5) and Grove City (27.5) rounded out the scoring. “(Winning the OCC) is our team focus and they were hungry to defend the title,” Spring said. “We have the depth.” The 400-meter relay of Michael Ballentine, Bryce Cordova, Stephon Goodwin and Alston Robertson was first in a program-record 43.37 seconds and the 800 relay of Cordova, Goodwin, Kody
Kasey and Desmond Palmer was second in a program-record 1:31.34. Palmer broke the program mark in the 300 hurdles during the preliminaries when he ran 38.89, and he won the final in 40.78. Michael Ballentine was second in the long jump in a program-record 21 feet, 4 1/2 inches and Spencer Bentley was second in the 800 in a program-best 1:58.03. Others winning were Goodwin in the 100 (11.45), Palmer in the 110 hurdles (15.44), Ballentine in the high jump (6-6) and Kyle Mushill in the discus (154-4). “We had high expectations to repeat
what we did last year or do even better,” Goodwin said. “Our goal was to win.” •The Central girls team scored 159 points to edge Pickerington North (140.5). Reynoldsburg (116), Gahanna (97.5), Lancaster (73), Groveport (31), Newark (23) and Grove City (15) rounded out the standings. Winning conference titles were Kaitlyn Meyer in the 3,200 (11:33.13), Morgan Richardson in the 800 (2:20.55), the 3,200 relay (9:40.66) and the 1,600 relay (3:59.97). See TRACK, page B2

North’s Kyle Chontos catches a fly ball deep i the outfield during North’s 5-0 home win over Groveport in the second round of the Division I district tournament May 11.
Keeping the right frame of mind might have been the thing which helped the Pickerington High School Central baseball team to easily get through the first two rounds of the Division I district tournament. The Tigers were in the thick of the OCC-Ohio Division title race until a three-day span in early May when they lost once to Grove City (5-4 on May 5) and twice to Reynoldsburg (1-0 on May 6, 135 on May 7). After pounding out 29 hits and beating Independence 39-0 in its tournament opener May 9, Central continued slugging its way into a district semifinal with a 132 victory over one of the better teams from the OCC-Capital, Mount Vernon, on May 11. Zach Beaver went 3-for-4 and Evan Jensen and Nick JensenClagg each had key hits against the Yellow Jackets, coach Chick Campbell said. “We didn’t play good, smart baseball the last few games (of the regular season) and ran into some good teams,” Campbell said. “Reynoldsburg’s been playing well and Grove City’s been playing well. I think the kids didn’t panic and just stayed with it. It was kind of a relief when we got all of the league games in and done with. They stuck with it and looked to the tournament as a new season. “We had a good approach to the plate and were aggressive (against Mount Vernon). We ran the bases well and the kids came out and took care of business. Our

Boys Tennis
Central, North advance to district in doubles By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Expectations and results sometimes go hand in hand. That was the case for two area high school boys doubles teams in the Division I sectional tennis tournaments that concluded May 14. Seniors Chase Thomas and Dallas Stang of Pickerington High School Central were seeded first in the sectional at Central and finished first. “They were the top seed and they played like they were the top seed,” Central coach Kelli Rings said. “They played in the district together last year and I think, although they lost in the first round, that lesson helped them and they’ll be more ready for it this time.” The top four finishers in singles and doubles at each of the four sectional sites advanced and will compete in the district tournament on Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, at Hilliard Davidson. Sam Prewitt and Dylan Bhaerman of Pickerington North were seeded fourth and finished third in the sectional at Hilliard Darby. “They finished higher than (their) seed-
ing, but we thought going in that Sam and Dylan were capable of winning it,” North coach Brian Hoff said. “What is frustrating is that (Grant Dolven and Weston Niermeyer of St. Charles) won it and that Sam and Dylan had just beaten them a few days before sectional.” Thomas and Stang defeated secondseeded Mitchell Lothes and Alexander Hathaway of Olentangy Liberty 6-4, 63 in the final after beating David Edison and Joey Wortman of Thomas Worthington 6-2, 6-1 in a semifinal. “They played very, very good. Their aggressiveness was good and they kept their heads on,” Rings said. “We’ve had at least one entry advance to district in all of my 20-plus years here and they kept that streak alive. They were relaxed and confident. “They’re an interesting pair in that Chase is cool, calm and methodical. He’s patient but is aggressive at the net when he has opportunities. Dallas is much more aggressive on groundstrokes and he’s fiery.” By winning the sectional, Thomas and Stang will open against a fourthplace finisher from one of the sectional sites. The draw was to be determined

Hannah Murphy also saw time in the circle, going 3-0 with a 3.50 ERA in 24 innings with three strikeouts and 11 walks. Junior Lacy Eigel was 1-0 with a 1.17 ERA in 12 innings with six strikeouts and two walks. Also expected back are sophomores Taylor Hollis (OF) and
9-4 on May 9 and Marysville 74 on May 11. The Raiders were district runners-up last season. “Five out of the 12 teams (in district semifinals) came out of our division (the OCC-Ohio),” Campbell said. “That quality of baseball prepared us.” •North played Worthington Kilbourne in a district semifinal May 17 at Hilliard Davidson after the game was postponed from May 16. The Panthers opened the Division I district tournament May 11 with a 5-0 second-round victory over Groveport. Drew Williams, who has been the team’s No. 1 starter since Kyle
Sorensen went down in late April with a season-ending injury, went the first five innings. Mason McGrew and Zach Huskey pitched the last two innings to preserve the shutout. “Since Kyle Sorensen got injured, Drew’s pitched all of the big games for us,” coach Tim Thomas said. “They all threw strikes, and that’s huge. It makes it easier to pitch when you’re ahead in the count. This is Drew’s third year with me, and he understands what he’s supposed to do. Having a senior like that is nice.” If North beat Kilbourne, it will get its third meeting this season with Grove City. The Grey-
Courtney Kelly (C). “We have lot of talent returning and we expect Lacy and Hannah Murphy to share pitching roles,” Bayless said. “We have a lot to work on in the offseason and we will have to see who we move around (defensively) to fill the spots left by our seniors.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
BASEBALL Continued from page B1 17, with the winner to face No. 3 New Albany or Reynoldsburg in a district final Thursday, May 19, at Olentangy. Against Mount Vernon, the Tigers scored three times in the first inning and added five runs in both the second and third innings in support of pitchers Isaac Beller and Tyler “Speedy” Hammond. New Albany, which won the OCC-Capital, opened the postseason with a 9-0 victory over Dublin Scioto in the second round on May 11. The Eagles were regional runners-up a year ago. Reynoldsburg opened the postseason with wins over Whetstone
ree Billings all losing their first matches. For North, Prewitt and Bhaerman lost their semifinal to New Albany’s John Hendrix and Oliver Sybert 6-2, 6-3 but rebounded to beat New Albany’s Jordan Rabe and Ameen Farwana 6-3, 6-4 in the third-place match. It will be the second trip to district for Prewitt and Bhaerman, who lost a threeset match in the first round last season. “They started well (against Hendrix and Sybert), but they didn’t play well overall,” Hoff said. “They played so much better (in the third-place match). They’re confident and comfortable playing together and they move well together. Dylan is the aggressive one and Sam is a calming influence.” North’s other doubles team of Alex Bartsch and Ben Keen won its first two matches before losing a district-qualifying match to Rabe and Farwana, who finished fourth. In singles, Andrew Brady, Patrick Yen and Mitchell McGuire all won their first matches but lost in the second round.
hounds, who beat eighth-seeded Olentangy Orange 16-8 in a district semifinal May 16, lost to the Panthers 3-2 on May 6 and 5-4 on May 10. “We played (Grove City) a week ago, and both games were close,” Thomas said. “They’re a very solid team and a very aggressive team. They make you play defense.” North also beat Westerville Central 16-6 on May 13 in a nonleague game. Williams and Alex Green each hit home runs and Nathan Edwards was the winning pitcher. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
The magical high school tennis career of Watterson High School senior Chris Diaz is nearing its end. Diaz will compete in the Division II district tournament on Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, at Columbus Academy, hoping to gain a berth in his fourth consecutive state tournament May 27-28 at Hilliard Davidson and to capture a third state championship. As a freshman, Diaz combined with his older brother, Philip, to win the Division I state doubles title. A year later, he and Philip finished as Division I state runners-up. With his brother moving on to college, Chris won the Division II state singles title last year top cap an undefeated season. This season, the Eagles standout also has been perfect as he heads into district play. Diaz said he is thoroughly enjoying his final high school season. “There’s always some pressure on you when you are a defending state champion, but I believe I have taken the level of pressure I feel down a little over the years. After Philip and I won when I was a freshman, I really thought my sophomore year was stressful and I think I have matured as a player and am trying to just have fun with these last two years. “My strength on the court right now is my speed and anticipation. I have to overcome my lack of size by being more aggressive on the court. I think my offensive skills have improved throughout high school and that has helped make my confidence level grow as well. Now I have to use my experience, plan my game and execute that plan every match. I have to continue to focus on what I do best and hope that results in wins.” Diaz is proud of what he has accomplished at Watterson and to be able to represent his school. “It has been a great feeling to
represent my high school in a positive way,” he said. “I have been fortunate to contribute to the Watterson community LARRY and I am hopLARSON ing to win the state singles championship again so I can leave my school on a good note. I am sure of one thing: I will continue playing as hard as I can and not let my nerves take over. It has been a wonderful four years.” Diaz’s time as a competitive tennis player won’t be ending at state. Next year, he will begin competing for Ohio State. “I am really excited to play for Ohio State and coach Ty Tucker,” he said. “I have always dreamed of playing and being part of the Ohio State athletic program. I know things will be really challenging for me, and I know I will have to work very hard to be successful. I will be lucky to be under the tutelage of coach Tucker, who has the record of making each player he works with better, but for now it is all about doing the best I can in these upcoming days. “I love how competitive tennis can get. I love trying to use my strategy to win a match. I love the fact that tennis has always been part of my life and the sport has helped me become more confident as a person and it has taught me to have a good work ethic in trying to balance my schoolwork with my tennis.” As the defending Division II state singles champion, Diaz will be the favorite at district. But he is sure to face challenges from Wellington senior Ian Wagner and Centennial junior Bogdan Cojocari, among others, in what should be a terrific two days of tennis at Academy. I’ll see you at a match.

Panthers sweep Tigers North swept Central in the battles of Pickerington lacrosse on May 13. The host Panthers won the girls game 16-8 and the boys game 12-10. Above, North’s Taylor Goddard tries to get past Central’s Bailey Domer. Below, the Tigers’ Jake Raymond (right) runs into defensive pressure from the Panthers’ Chris Paulus.
Jasmine Greene was runnerup in the 300 hurdles (45.3) and Meyer was second in the 1,600 (5:20.34). Aubrey Burwell was second in the discus (107-04). Richardson was joined on the 3,200 relay by Meyer, Santele Smith and Elizabeth Weed and on the 1,600 relay by Greene, Jalisa Jarrett and Jordan Robinson. “It was perfect,” Hammond said. “We were neck and neck with Pickerington North the whole meet. It was a total team effort, and that’s what I told them about all week. In the conference meet we want to perform well but we just worry about place. Everybody performed up to expectations, and hopefully we can use that as a springboard into district.” “(High school is) a lot different than in junior high,” said Richardson, a freshman. “Things are a lot more competitive and you have to push yourself more.” •The North girls had two individual champions at the OCCOhio meet in Julianne Ballog in the pole vault (11-0) and Zena Kolliesuah in the 200. Kolliesuah, who recently committed to run at Cornell, added runner-up finishes in the 100 (12.47) and 400 (55.23). “Today was a good day,” said Kolliesuah, who battled knee injuries earlier this spring. “I’m just trying to get back into it and feel

healthy. The last two weeks have been really good.” In the 3,200, Kristen Eisenhauer took second (11:39.52) and Kim Black was third (11:47.58). Jasmine Simmons was second in the shot put (36-1/2) and third in the discus (106-08), Bria Booker took second in the long jump (15-11 3/4) and Marie Hall was second in the high jump (4-10). The 3,200 relay also placed second (9:48.31). “Zena had a great day,” coach Jim Langenderfer said. “Our shot put and discus throwers have been on a tear the last two weeks and they continued that today. We triple-placed in the long jump. Our sprinters are just as solid as can be. They all competed like champions.” •A title in the 1,600 relay was among the highlights for the Cen-

Trent was fourth in the 400 (52.55) after having the best time in preliminaries. “It felt good (to win the 1,600 relay), especially for me because I also did the 400 and for Nick Scarberry who also did the high jump,” Trent said. “(The 1,600 relay) has been going real well all year.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

1 “CJO By Request,” the
Columbus Jazz Orchestra’s season-ending concerts May 20-21 at the Southern Theatre, are less a “stump the band” concept than a “greatest hits.” Oh, sure, the program was selected by fans, but will not include every suggestion taken through the CJO’s website. Communications director Scott Vezdos told The Beat they’d received suggestions for tunes by AC/DC, KISS and Jimmy Buffet, among many others. Think more Georgia on My Mind, Ain’t Misbehavin’, What a Wonderful World, A Night in Tunisia, When the Saints Go Marching In — and the like. Guest vocalist Maria Jacobs joins in the fun. Tickets are $49/$46/$41. Call (614) 294-5200.
2 OK, let’s clear some things
up. Eddie from Ohio is not a solo act, it’s a band. There is a member of the band named Eddie — drummer Eddie Hartness. He is, however, not from Ohio. He’s from Virginia. Clear? The quartet is marking its 20th anniversary this year and will celebrate with central Ohio folks Friday, May 20, at the Columbus Performing Arts Center. Pittsburgh folkie Brad Yoder opens. Tickets are $30/33. Call (614) 470-FOLK.

Cloud Cult is the brainchild of Craig Minowa, whose creativity is born out of study, boredom, pain and environmen- Zac Brown Band
never bargained for Lez Zeppelin, the all-female quartet that pays tribute to the famed rock n’ rollers without being a “tribute band.” Founder and guitarist Steph Paynes told The Beat Lez Zep started with a simple principle: “I set out to do this in a naïve way because I love this music and it became my fantasy to get to play it,” she recalled. “If a tribute band sets out to create the illusion that what you’re seeing is the real thing — that’s never what we wanted to do.” “I had gotten remastered Led Zeppelin records as a gift,” she explained. “I had always enjoyed them but never really dug that deep. It blew my mind in a new way — it sounded better than anything else. I was between gigs and, well, I’d had an all-girl band in the early ’90s, so I thought it would be more novel to try and play this music this way. Paynes admitted that at first, she hoped the novelty of the approach would garner the new band a couple of gigs. She soon discovered the endeavor would have one distinct disadvantage, coupled with one distinct advantage. “People had never seen women play like this,” she said, “and this music was always considered such a ‘male’ expression. Once we embarked on this, we knew we had to play in the right way and that because we were women, we had to do a superb job.” The best way to do that, she decided, was not to attempt to
Lez Zeppelin will play the Friday, May 20, pre-festival fifth anniversary Party at Rock on the Range at Crew Stadium. For ticket information, call 1-800-745-3000. The festival will be held at Crew Stadium Saturday and Sunday, May 21-22. For a full schedule and ticket information, visit www.rockontherange.com.
replicate the songs note-for-note, but to “bring the full Led Zeppelin live experience to people. They were four guys playing together intensely, but in the moment, with improvs and extended jams. That’s what we do.” She said there was no triedand-true method for finding the right bandmates; she auditioned plenty of great players who just weren’t right. Ultimately, she said, a combination of being good, being stylistically appropriate and being willing, in some combination, was the formula. (The current lineup — and players have come and gone in the years since Paynes first formed Lez Zep — includes bassist Megan Thomas, drummer Leesa Harrington-Squyres and singer Shannon Conley.) The advantage to her all-girl approach was unexpected. Led Zeppelin’s look — long hair, tight pants, billowy shirts and accent scarves and necklaces — worked pretty well for a bunch of girls. “Led Zeppelin was doing
male posturing dressed as women,” Paynes said. “There’s a certain alchemy of male and female energy that works for us. It really churns things up, to have that gender, that sexual dynamic.” Ultimately, Paynes said Lez Zeppelin adheres to its original “noble cause,” which is to just keep playing this music. She said their shows find everyone from teenagers who’ve recently discovered the original article to women (who many thought had no interest in Led Zep’s music) to older fans who “tell us they saw Led Zeppelin seven times or whatever and tell us ‘You’re doing it right.’ “That means we’re on the right track.” “Hey, hey mama/Said the way you move/ Gonna make you sweat/Gonna make you groove” — Led Zeppelin, Black Dog ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Steph Paynes of Lez Zeppelin, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.
Fortune Chinese Restaurant offers lengthy menu “Hot Pepper Frog, Homestyle Made Frog, or Frog Stir-Fried with Pickle Chili?” asked my sister, flashing an oftpracticed devilish grin. We were plotting our order from the provocative, lengthy and new menu in Fortune Chinese Restaurant. Recently implemented by the place’s new owners, that voluminous food list includes many intriguing looking dishes which appear to substantiate the menu’s claim of “The Best Selection of Authentic Szechuan Style Food.” As we expressed hope that Fortune’s execution of Szechuan dishes would match its self-heralded “selection,” we also commented on how drastically the once-Cantonese-centric cuisine there had changed. Too bad we couldn’t say the same about Fortune’s drab decor. Because although Fortune has received a muchneeded housecleaning, sprucing up and coat of paint (albeit in a pale, wan yellow), it still has a dingy dropped ceiling, industrial carpet, goofy 3D-type
MENU by G.A. Benton “art” and dull brown, occasionally ripped Naugahyde booths. So how was the food? In general, I found it to be salty, saucy, aggressive and oily. Since that also describes me, we got along famously. In fact, slurping up Fortune’s inexpensive but explosively flavored grub was so much fun I didn’t much mind that the Tsingtao beer bottle on my table was the place’s best claim to ambience. As for ordering strategies, except for the chef’s specials, we took the menu’s implicit suggestion and stuck with any section mentioning Szechuan in its header (there are four). While there was some sameness to the seasoning among these brazen entrees — expect generous glugs of chili oil, fresh jalapeno, garlic and ginger
taste: Fish with Rice Crust ($14): This massive (serves two or three) and mighty flavor onslaught was served with a little razzle-dazzle and is highly recommended. Thin and crispy rice cakes gave off an audible sizzle on the plate (think “snap crackle pop”) when doused with an enormous bowl of impressively tender battered whitefish planks and a cornucopia of veggies (starring Chinese broccoli) swimming in a sea of wild and thick, salty, sweet and spicy sauce. Ma Po Bean Curd ($9): Silken tofu cubes swamped in chili oil and spiked with fermented black beans were liberally sprinkled with lip-tingling ground Szechuan peppercorns. Really fun and By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek almost druggy in its sting and oral Lamb with cumin and chili peppers at numbing effects. Diced Chicken Stir Fried with Fortune Chinese Restaurant. Pickle Turnip ($8): I enjoyed this bold, and an occasionally to-the-brink sweet- cheap and comparatively ungreasy dish ness — I wouldn’t say any two dishes so much that it’s become my new gowere completely identical. Here’s a to to-go Chinese dinner. Diced poultry
coated in red chili paste was further seasoned with garlic, jalapeno and lively chunks of semi-funky and pleasantly sour veggie pickles. A hot and tangy must. Lamb with Chili Pepper and Cumin ($8): The delightfully tender meat was flavorful enough to stand up to its soy sauce, onion and jalapeno-fueled spicy and salty treatment. Pretty terrific. Hot Pepper Frog ($11): A rare sauce-free Fortune preparation, this was battered and fried bundles of froggy, tossed with leafy celery tops, jalapeno, scallion and a volatile arsenal of firecracker-like fried red chili peppers. I liked it, but there were a lot of tiny, hidden bones in those battered bites. Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry ($8): Like a pleasantly bitter sauteed salad of slivered carrots and green veggies dressed in soy sauce and cooking oil, this functions well as a palate-refreshing side to the rich, spicy and more complex flavors of many dishes here.
Revamped Westerville pizzeria now offers baked pies In perfect conditions, customers have only a short wait for a freshly baked pie at Runaway Pasta & Pizza in Westerville. With his handy Hhc 2020 TurboChef oven, Peter Tanski can bake a pizza in 2.5 minutes. Put another way, that’s 150 seconds. “This is the next-generation way to cook a pizza,” he said. Certainly, longer lines mean a longer wait for patrons, but Tanski’s lovin’ his oven. It doesn’t require an expensive ventilation system and runs off of electricity. It uses a convection-and-impingement process, meaning it simul-
taneously sucks in and pushes out air, while a catalytic converter cleans the exhaust. The conveyor unit is capable of cooking 60 pizzas in one hour. Runaway takes over Tanksi’s former Mama Mimi’s franchise at 925 N. State St., just east of Meijer. Runaway’s fresh-tossed dough uses flour that is free of bromate, a conditioner that strengthens the dough and allows for higher rising. Tanski prefers
the old-fashioned method. He has three crusts: a regular style seasoned with oregano and garlic, plain wheat and a gluten-free product not made on premises. The reason being, he said, is the risk for cross-contamination. Pizzas are 12 or 16 inches and crusts are either thin or medium-thick. He has a full complement of designer pizza options, such as the barbecue pulled pork and spinach and artichoke dip, as well as a build-your-own section. The big sellers right now are the deluxe and Margherita options. He acknowledges prices are about $1 or $2 more than chain pizzas. The difference is in the ingredients, he said. For example, Tanski also uses Stanislaus tomato products, which are made from fresh tomatoes, not concentrate. He mixes the seasonings in-house for his own distinctive flavor. “It’s not something that’s going to be duplicated anywhere,” he said. In addition, he uses 100 percent cheese, a mozzarella-provolone blend, and locally made Ezzo Sausage Co. pepperoni. He prepares pizzas to By Chris Parker/ThisWeek order and begins the cooking process when customers As one pizza comes out of the oven, Peter Tanski works on another in his shop, Runarrive. Even during busier away Pasta & Pizza, 925 N. State St. in Westerville.
times, he sees that has an efficient method, as customers generally wait no longer than 10 minutes for their order. Still, purchasing another oven could be necessary once business improves, he said. The menu also includes a slate of salads, baked pasta, take-and-bake casseroles, chicken wings and a few desserts, including fresh-baked cookies. Sandwiches could be offered in the future, he said. “Doing things people are familiar with but in your own way is the way to succeed, I think,” he said. Tanski is looking into adding some seating in the 1,453-square-foot space, which does not provide a dine-in experience. Runaway is open lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614-523-3000. The latest Ohio-made vodka has a Columbus connection. Karl Schneider of Upper Arlington is among a group of investors behind Buckeye Vodka, which is produced in Dayton. The premium, small-batch vodka uses distilled water from a direct source — Crystal Water Co. — and is distilled 10 times for an unmistakably smooth, clean and pure flavor, spokeswoman Michele Mooney said. It is available at several local stores, including many local Giant Eagle and Kroger stores, High Street Beverage and Huffman’s Market.

Pediatric HealthSource
Tics in children are quite common Tics are sudden, involuntary, repetitive movements (motor tics) or sounds (vocal tics). The most common motor tics are frequent eye blinking, nose twitching and head shaking. Common vocal tics include humming, grunting or saying actual words. Some of these tics are complex and include large parts of the body (kicking, stamping). About 3 million to 6 million Americans experience tics regularly. Tics are more common in children, where one in four has a tic during the school years. Tics are five times more common in boys than in girls. Nine out of 10 children who have tics, however, will experience significant improvements in the symptoms by they time they reach adulthood. Tics are the most frequent symptom of Tourette syndrome, though it isn’t the only symptom. For a patient to be diagnosed as having TS, he or she has to have motor and vocal tics for at least one year. Impulsivity, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obsessive-compulsive behaviors (repetitive thoughts and movements) are commonly seen in patients with TS. Cursing, which is the most publicized symptom of TS, is exceedingly rare. Stress sometimes can make tics more severe, frequent or longer in duration. Many children with tics report the urge to perform said tic, though some can suppress this for a short time. As tension builds, though, it eventually has to be released as a tic. If a child is concentrating
on controlling a tic, it might be difficult to focus on other tasks, such as schoolwork. Because tics are outside a child’s control, children should not be disciplined for exhibiting them. In most patients, the sympPEDRO toms of TS are mild and not WEISLEDER necessarily an indication of a more serious disorder. For that reason, physicians at Nationwide Children’s Hospital tend to avoid prescribing medications for the condition. Moderate to severe cases of TS can be treated with psychological therapy (habit-reversal therapy) or one of a series of prescription medications. It is important to know, however, that there is no single medication that is helpful to all individuals with tics or TS. For more information on tics and TS, as they relate to children, parents should consult their primary-care physician. Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers treatment for severe cases, and more information is available from the Tourette Syndrome Association of America. Visit www.tsa-usa.org. Dr. Pedro Weisleder is associate professor and director of the child-neurology residency program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital — The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

by Greg VanHorssen CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
Finally there’s
While much is often made of senior adults and youngsters with hearing loss, middle-aged adults are not as frequently-mentioned. As it turns out, this age group is not immune to hearing loss either. According to a new survey among people 45 to 54 years old, one in nine exhibited signs of hearing loss. This survey shows that, while the rate of hearing loss increases with age, it is a significant problem for those in middle age. When researchers tested the hearing of nearly 3,000 adults between the ages of 21 and 84, about one in seven had some hearing loss. Ninety percent of those examined who were older than 80 had lost some hearing. Hearing loss need not be an inevitable part of growing older. Living a healthy lifestyle and using hearing protection in noisy environments can help to prevent hearing loss in middle age. If you are not hearing as well as you used to, call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation. On average, our patients travel 40 miles each way to save 25% to 70% on their hearing! Our office is located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna. We are the only hearing clinic in Central Ohio using state-of-the-art computerized prescription analyzer with real-ear measurements. We offer the top ten hearing aid brands with zero risk trials, 0% interest programs, and we have been awarded the top health rating on Angie’s List. It pays to drive a few miles to save $1,000s of dollars!

REAL ESTATE MONTHLY SELLERS ARE FEATURED HITTING THE REAL ESTATE SCENE WITH A LITTLE MORE GREEN LOW COST TIPS TO GREEN YOUR HOME The rising interest in eco-friendly living among homebuyers has today’s seller turning over a new leaf, searching for ways to turn their property a brighter shade of green. The good news is that these efforts not only can put some green back into the pocketbook, but can be done at little to no cost. “You don’t need to install solar panels or replace appliances to green your home, but simple steps in the right direction can open the eyes of potential buyers,” said Jerry White,executive vice president of Coldwell Banker King Thompson.“Your Realtor will help you find ways to promote Earthfriendly assets around your property.” Here are several steps towards green living: • Highlight your green. Everything from central air and energy-efficient windows to the home’s proximity to public transportation are elements potential buyers look for. When you’re showing your home,highlight these areas as not only good for the environment, but cost savers. • Put an end to drafts. An open flue in a fireplace can increase energy costs by 30 percent, and attic doors and dryer vents can contribute to this. Consider installing fireplace draft stoppers, attic door covers, and dryer vent seats that only open when your dryer is in use. • Consider an energy audit. An energy audit done by a local utility company or by independent energy consultants can help pinpoint problem areas and measure energy savings after you improve your home’s efficiency. • Trim your green. Position the home to maximize sun exposure by trimming tree branches and bushes that may block natural sunlight from entering the home.
