Gahanna City Council
Incentive for JPMorgan Chase OK’d By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna City Council approved an Office and Industrial incentive program May 16, paving the way for JPMorgan Chase to bring 500 to 1,000 new jobs to the city. Chase chairman Jamie Dimon, who was in Columbus for an annual share-
holders meeting, told city officials the jobs coming to Gahanna are expected to be permanent, according to Mayor Becky Stinchcomb. “That was very good news for us,” Stinchcomb said. Chase announced plans last month to lease 122,000 square feet at 800 and 825 Tech Center Drive for a two-year term, with options to lease for up to
five years. The new jobs are related to Chase Home Finance, with everything related to mortgages. Dimon said May 16 that he expects the jobs to convert to other interests, after mortgage issues are resolved. Chase already is the region’s largest private employer, with 17,000 Columbus-area workers serving the company’s customers across the country, ac-
cording to information from the company. The additional workers will help homeowners around the country who are struggling with their monthly mortgage payments. The new employees will augment Chase’s staff at a 495,000square-foot facility in Easton that Chase uses for mortgage servicing. Council member Beryl Anderson said
the addition of Chase is a great opportunity to bring more jobs to the community, and it’s an opportunity for other businesses to see what Gahanna has to offer. The incentive advisory board last month voted to recommend the project for a 50-percent O&I incentive for See CHASE, page A2

Student activity fees approved Will cost $25 per activity with family cap of $50 By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Gahanna-Jefferson Board of Education on May 12 approved student activity fees while the district’s top leader pledged to make operating funds last as long as possible. Superintendent Mark White told the board that passage of the 5.2-mill operating levy on the May 3 ballot would allow the district to remain stable for three years. “We’re committed to making it last as long as we can,” he said. “We’ll still reduce through next year. ... We’ll still have to streamline and do more with less.” The levy is expected to generate up to $8 million annually. The levy will cost an additional $159 annually per $100,000 of assessed property value.
The board approved extracurricular and co-curricular fees of $25 for each activity, with a $50 cap per family. The fees will be implemented next school year for the following activities: band, choir, speech-and-debate, yearbook, newspaper-journalism, TV studio, fall play, spring musical, stomp team, Lionettes, Science Olympiad, student council, renaissance action team, In the Know and flag corps. The board also approved a family cap of $500 for pay-to-participate athletics fees. For the first time, the district will charge athletes $200 per sport at the high school and $100 per sport at the middle school. White thanked high school principal Dwight Carter and others who have been studying fees since fall. “No one wanted to do this, but the com-
mittee worked through it and realized it was necessary,” he said. “There are caps for families. We realize this will be hard on some families. We need this income from various sources. We do this very regretfully.” Athletics director Justin Sanford said the Cardinal Orthopaedic Institute’s “Spirit Sprint 5K” was held April 17, when Gahanna and Reynoldsburg school districts competed for bragging rights and money for their respective programs. “Our cross country team obliged, and they chose a winner based on participation numbers,” he said. Gahanna Lincoln won with 164 registrants. As a result, the team earned 75 percent of the registration proceeds, or $4,686. See FEES, page A2
The Gahanna Planning Commission has approved a certificate of appropriateness for a site plan and relocation of landscaping for Rick’s Coaches. After Coaches, 230 Granville St., recently expanded and enclosed a patio, owner Rick Stover realized people wanted to reserve the space, so additional space is needed. “The addition is not only for seating capacity but will enable us to do the game types of things we do,” he said. “We need space for people mingling around and for our cornhole leagues. Cornhole games are 33 feet apart.” The legislation, which the commission approved May 11, allows Coaches to extend an existing concrete patio about 22 feet to the south of the building. Stover said the new space would add about 1,014 square feet. A portion of the wood fence will be removed to accommodate the expansion, and new fencing will be added to match the existing fence. Landscaping will be reshaped, and an exiting tree will be moved to the southeast end of the patio. Commission member David Thom questioned the city’s code for patio umbrellas at cafes and bars. Deputy development director Leah Evans said any sign that’s on an umbrella counts toward the business’s sign allowance. She said another local restaurant/bar has umbrellas with the names of beers. “I don’t want a hodgepodge of various umbrellas out there,” Thom said. “Whatever it is, we

need to have it uniform. Take a look at the code. We’ve had discussions in the past. I don’t know if we addressed it properly.” Evans said Coaches is part of a redevelopment effort of three buildings along Granville Street. “What you’ve done with the building in the last three months has really dressed it up,” he said. “We do appreciate that.” Commission member David Andrews said he has noticed Coaches’ nice landscaping, but he asked if the business could plant lavender or other herbs, as Gahanna is known as the herb capital of Ohio. “I’ll make sure there’s some out there,” Stover said. In other commission action, a revision was approved for a previously approved conditionaluse application to allow six outdoor storage containers behind the Kroger Marketplace, 300 S. Hamilton Road. “We had asked them to restack the containers two by two, but that would have caused ingress and regress (issues),” Evans said. “We asked they stack, two, two and then the other two (side by side).” In other discussion, commission chair Kristin Rosan said Gahanna’s development department has been asked to examine other See PATIO, page A2
Piada restaurant expects June opening in Gahanna By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Piada Italian Street Food is scheduled to open its third location in Gahanna sometime in late June in the StoneRidge Plaza Shopping Center, at the former Potbelly restaurant space, 4697 Morse Road. Piada is the fast-casual creation of restaurateur Chris Doody, founder of Bravo and Brio. Piada has attracted a large following at its first location in Upper Arlington, and a second location was scheduled to open May 16 in Bexley.
Cheryl Pentella, of Pentella Marketing, said Gahanna was chosen for a Piada based on both the traffic count and demographics that are consistent with the successful Upper Arlington location. In Gahanna the 2,200-square-foot restaurant will seat 60 in an interior space that features a contemporary Italian décor, with classic white Carrara marble, steel, tile and wood. Piada also will offer seating on its outdoor patio. The Gahanna Planning Commission in April approved a certificate of appropriateness for a landscaping and outdoor patio design for Piada.
DIRECTORY News: (740) 888-6100 editorial@thisweeknews.com Sports: (740) 888-6054 sports@thisweeknews.com
The 1,036-square-foot outdoor patio will provide seating for 56 patrons in an area that will be enclosed with a custom, black, galvanized metal fence. Landscaping will include trees and bushes, as well as decorative trees in planters. The restaurant will employ a staff of 35 when it opens, according to Pentella. “We are really excited about the response to Piada,” Doody said. “It has been very well-received in Upper Arlington, and we are looking forward to offering this unique fast-casual Italian concept in Gahanna.”
In this edition: Read about Amazing Student Volunteers across central Ohio.
Doody said he always has had a passion for Italian food, and he discovered street food that was fresh, inexpensive and easy to eat on the go while traveling in Italy. “Today’s consumers are looking for healthier, better-quality food with convenient, fast delivery to accommodate their hectic lifestyles,” he said. “At Piada, they don’t have to sacrifice quality and flavor for speed and value.” Piada also plans to open restaurants at Easton and Dublin in the fall. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

PATIO Continued from page A1 communities’ fence codes pertaining to privacy fences in side yards. Landover Place resident Brock Robertson helped gather more than 55 signatures to support a review of the code. “I want people to understand it isn’t a single issue,” Robertson said. “My wife and I tried
to find out the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ (of the code). That’s how we found out the enforcement of the code. It seems to be inconsistent with how it’s enforced.” The commission will discuss the issue further during a workshop set for 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, May 18, at the city building, 200 S. Hamilton Road. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
CHASE Continued from page A1 a term of up to five years for the creation of 500 new jobs at an average annual wage of $40,000. Gahanna development director Anthony Jones said the project would generate approximately $20 million in annual payroll within the city. The total incentive payment to the company will be $150,000, and the net income-tax revenue to the city would be $450,000 over a two-year lease term, he said. In other council discussion, service director Terry Emery thanked Stinchcomb for the opportunity to serve as the city’s service director for the past eight years. His last day in Gahanna will be Friday, May 20. Emery will become the director of administration in Marysville, effective May 31. Emery said he would cherish the things that were accomplished during his time in the
May 19, 2011
city, as well as the lessons learned from each Gahanna director. “I’ve never worked with a public servant like Dottie Franey,” Emery said, his voice cracking from emotion. “You’re getting the best public service director, bar none.” Stinchcomb announced that Franey, deputy service director, would become the city’s next service director. She has worked for Gahanna since August 24, 1992. Stinchcomb thanked Emery for his years of service and said he has elevated the level of service to Gahanna residents. She declared May 16 as “Terry Emery Day.” Stinchcomb also read a proclamation from the state, noting that Gahanna remains a city following the recent census. She said Gahanna’s official population is 33,248. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
Continued from page A1 Sanford said the proceeds would go toward the girls cross country teams’ pay-to-participation fees. “Thanks to Cardinal for getting involved and helping our program,” he said. District treasurer Julio Valladares said the five-year forecast, approved May 12, shows a positive cash balance over the next two years but then shows a deficit of $1.6 million as of June 30, 2013. He said many unknown variables must be considered, such as the effect the state budget could have on the local schools. “We’ll try to decrease expenditures,” Valladares said. “We’ll work hard on the fiveyear forecast as we move forward.” The district’s teachers agreed to take two furlough days, valued at $369,000, next school year, allowing the district to rehire 16 teachers who were part of a reduction-in-force measure approved in March. The contract also provides no salary increase for teachers and no step increase for the 201112 school year. Matt Cygnor, director of human resources, said 4.6 teachers who were part of the reduction in force potentially still wouldn’t return. In other action, the board accepted the retirements of Steve Hanners, high school intervention specialist; Dana Johnson, high school media specialist; Barbara Murdock, coordinator of curriculum, gifted education and literacy; Andrea O’Quin, high school English teacher; Linda Shill, French and Spanish teacher at Middle School East; Susan Stanich, high school special-education teacher; and Mark Wheeler, high school math teacher. “Thanks to all these fine teachers and administrators for their years of service,” White said. “There are some very fine and talented individuals in this group. They will be missed.” The board also accepted the retirement of longtime bus driver Ken Moore.

School workers’ salaries called ‘unsustainable’ To the editor: As a member of the “Citizens for Responsible School Spending” I would like to say that I’m disappointed that Issue 6 passed in the election. However, I’m relieved that the school children in our district will no longer be used as a wedge to extort additional tax monies from the citizens, at least for the next year or two. I’m afraid, however, the Gahanna superintendent and school board will simply go back to business as usual and this will trigger another permanent levy sometime in the next two or three years. The structural imbalances that exist in our school district remain and the excessive salary and benefits that caused the deficit and resulting levy request are still unsustainable over the long haul. It’s worth noting that Gahanna is not alone in fighting this battle. Westerville, Worthington, Hilliard, Olentangy and other districts all across the state are all struggling with excessive salaries and benefits funded by ever-raising property taxes. I hope the district’s administration becomes more responsive and institutes meaningful change. Glenn Reid Gahanna
Fire levy support appreciated To the editor: On behalf of the Mifflin Township trustees, fire division administration and staff members, I want to express our sincere appreciation to the citizen’s of Mifflin Township and the city
of Gahanna for their approval of our fire levy (Issue 2) on the ballot. Nothing is more important to a fire department than the trust and support of the community that it serves. In these difficult economic times, our community has once again validated that trust. Thank you to those who assisted by sharing our information, posting signs, and who allowed us the opportunity to present our business case to your members and neighbors. We will continue to provide exceptional services to you, your family and your neighbors. L. James DeConnick fire chief

Gahanna Lincoln High School alumna Sarah Jadwin is helping market Ohio State University’s EcoCAR that’s in competition with 16 other universities for a high-performing and energy-efficient vehicle. The three-year student engineering competition is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and General Motors. General Motors provides production vehicles, vehicle components, seed money, technical mentoring and operational support. The Department of Energy and its research and development facility, Argonne National Laboratory, provides competition management, team evaluation and technical and logistical support. Jadwin and EcoCAR engineer Ryan Everett visited Gahanna City Hall on May 16 to showcase OSU’s vehicle that includes two electric motors and five battery packs. Everett, an OSU graduate student, said the EcoCAR student team custom-designed the car’s transmission. “A custom transmission allows us to drive the vehicle with electric components,” he said. “At highway speeds, we can connect the engine to the wheels.” The transmission design allows
Watch a video of Sarah Jadwin with the Ohio State University EcoCAR online at www.ThisWeekNEWS.com. the vehicle to operate in a series or parallel hybrid mode and allows front-axle regenerative braking, according to the EcoCAR team’s website: ecocar.osu.edu. The competition challenges college students across North America to reduce the environmental impact of vehicles by minimizing the vehicle’s fuel consumption, petroleum use and emissions while maintaining its utility, safety and performance. Jadwin, a 2010 Gahanna Lincoln graduate, applied to become the EcoCAR outreach coordinator after receiving an email from OSU last summer. “I sent them my (high school) DECA manual,” she said. “It has been fun.” Jadwin, a freshman marketing major, hopes to work for General Motors or another automaker to market hybrid vehicles after she graduates. In marketing the EcoCAR to Gahanna officials, Jadwin said, a solar panel on the vehicle’s roof
has enough charge to operate accessories like the radio and fan. “The car has an electric motor in the front and back,” she said. “We designed an extended-range vehicle.

THIS BUG KILLS!
Protect Your Ash Trees Call Mike Donley Today for a FREE Ash Tree Assessment
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic boring insect believed to have come from China. This bug was first discovered in 2002 in Southeast Michigan. With no natural enemies to contain its population, it spreads rapidly, attacks and kills ALL ash trees regardless of size or condition; 100% mortality rate! This bug only attacks ash trees. The EAB infestation of ash trees became apparent last year in Central Ohio. Extensive wood pecker damage, dead limbs in upper canopies and a flush of green sprouts in the lower canopies are the most obvious signs of likely EAB infestation. Generally speaking, from the first signs of infestation, trees die within 2-3 years if untreated. Should you decide to preserve your ash trees, field trials from Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue Universities have shown annually applied insecticides will protect ash trees effectively from the emerald ash borer. There are two primary recommendations to get most effective insecticide protection - Treating trees in the spring time (April-May) and treatments prior to infestation.

‘Ready, Set, Inflate!’ attempts life jacket world record By MARLA K. KUHLMAN
A closer look
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Learn a little about boating safety while trying to set a world record. The annual “Ready, Set, Inflate!” will be held Saturday, May 21, at Woodside Green Park, 213 Camrose Court, as part of National Safe Boating Week. Kate Moening, Gahanna marketing coordinator, said the city was approached by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to host the second annual Ready, Set Inflate, an event designed to raise awareness about the importance of wearing a lifejacket. Moening said the city already was planning an “Introduction to Canoeing” class from 9 a.m. to noon that morning at Woodside Green pond, so “it was a perfect fit.” In addition, Gahanna is an ODNR-Division of Watercraft 2010 boating-safety-education grant recipient, thus allowing the city’s parks and recreation de-

partment to provide canoeing instruction and safety programs to the community. Rob Lucas, spokesman for the ODNR Division of Watercraft, told ThisWeek the event’s purpose is to build awareness to make sure people know it’s important to wear a lifejacket while in the water, in addition to the fun of trying to set a world record. Eight other events are scheduled throughout the state simultaneously in an effort to help set a world record of participants inflating lifejackets. “Gahanna stepped forward to host it,” Lucas said. “We hope to beat the 1,154 record that was set
last year nationwide.” Potential participants are encouraged to register through the Ready, Set, Inflate website, www.readysetinflate.com, so a general idea of attendance could be calculated. Onsite registration and jacket fitting will be held at noon, with inflation scheduled at 12:30 p.m. Registered adults get to wear and inflate an inflatable lifejacket, courtesy of the Division of Watercraft. Family members under age 18 will be fitted with noninflatable lifejackets so they can be part of the world record. Participants will gather in cities around the globe to heighten awareness of inflatable lifejackets. This year, the National Safe Boating Council (NSBC) and Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) will tally not only the number of participants who inflate their inflatable lifejackets during the event but also those who wear an inherently buoyant lifejacket.

“We hope this year’s Ready, Set, Inflate! event not only increases lifejacket wear and safety efforts but also the number of participants in the world record day,” said Virgil Chambers, NSBC executive director. Ready, Set, Inflate! will usher in National Safe Boating Week, May 21-27 this year. The goal is to educate and inform the public about boating safety, specifically lifejackets. Inflatable lifejackets are promoted by ODNR for adults to wear when fishing and boating on flat water. They are less bulky and lighter weight, and they tend to be more comfortable than traditional lifejackets. However, they must be inflated manually, making them inappropriate for minors or in turbulent water conditions. Lucas said 16 fatalities occurred in Ohio waters in 2010 because lifejackets weren’t used or the jackets were worn incorrectly. In 2009, eight deaths were reported, with 10 in 2008, nine in 2007 and 11 in 2006. Information on required safety equipment and boating rules is available online at www.ohiodnr.com/watercraft.

Lions survive tourney scare
Shivener wins title at sectional

Fortunate was the word senior Joey Tomko used to describe how the Gahanna Lincoln High School baseball team felt as it prepared to face Watkins Memorial in a Division I district semifinal May 18 at Hamilton Township. After winning back-to-back district championships in 2008 and ’09, the Lions lost to Upper Arlington 3-1 in a district semifinal last year. Gahanna came within one big inning of getting knocked off a round earlier than that this year by an opponent that entered its matchup with the fifth-seeded Lions on May 11 with just seven wins. The host Lions, however, put together a four-run sixth inning that included a three-run home run over the left-field fence by Tomko to beat Central Crossing 7-6 in a second-round game. “It’s tough on the nerves, but good for the confidence,” coach Mike Shade said. Starting pitcher Vinny Galiardi gave up four runs in the first inning and, according to Shade, struggled with location of his pitches throughout the game. Gahanna answered with one run in the second inning and two in the third, but Central Crossing made it 5-3 in the fourth and was on the verge of a big fifth inning. With one out and the bases loaded, Lions outfielder Cole Greisinger made a running catch to help preserve what had become a 6-3 deficit. In the sixth, Greisinger walked and Drew Kessler doubled off the wall to put runners on second and third. Greisinger scored on a groundout to begin a four-run rally that was capped by Tomko’s blast. “He hit one to the left of the scoreboard about 30 to 40 feet high,” Shade said. “It was a legendary shot.” It was the second home run this season for Tomko. “I was just looking for a fastball early in the count and it was a high, inside fastball,” Tomko said. “After I hit it, I knew it was gone.” Pitcher Taylor Neville walked the leadoff batter in the seventh inning but got a strikeout and a game-ending groundout to get out of trouble. “Every team is fighting like it’s their last game, and we’ve got to give our best effort every game,” Tomko said. “We had (Galiardi’s) back defensively. We’re very confident in him and that he’d get the job done.” Galiardi was expected to start against 10th-seeded Watkins Memorial, which beat St. Charles 4-0 in the second round May 11. If Gahanna advanced to a district final, it would play second-seeded Dublin Coffman or Dublin Jerome on Thursday, May 19, at Jerome.
When Jesse Shivener, Stephen Cheng and Canyon Teague of the Gahanna Lincoln High School boys tennis team went to the Division I state tournament last year, they had to buy a ticket. As they gear up for the Division I district tournament on Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, at Hilliard Davidson, the trio has set their sights on returning to state, but this time as competitors. “The state tournament last year is driving my guys a lot this year,” coach Chris Schwinnen said. “They have done a great job of working out the kinks. They have a little bit of intensity and came here very focused.” Cheng and Teague advanced to district by placing second in doubles in the sectional May 12 and 14 at Davidson. The duo defeated Worthington Kilbourne’s Sam Lazaroff and Roger Juang 6-1, 6-0 in a semifinal and lost to Dublin Jerome’s Kent Seitz and Sean Stein 6-3, 6-3 in the championship. Shivener overcame a lowgrade fever during the sectional to win the singles title and advance to district for the third time. He defeated Kilbourne’s Brian Aguirre 6-2, 6-2 in a semifinal and Jerome’s Frank Kuo 6-2, 6-2 in the championship. By Eric George/ThisWeek No other Gahanna players adJesse Shivener of Gahanna Lincoln advanced to the district tournament for the third time by winning vanced out of the sectional. In singles Sam Raybuck lost to the sectional title with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Dublin Jerome’s Frank Kuo on May 14.
Below are the recent results and coming schedule for the Gahanna Lincoln boys tennis team: May 10 — Defeated Columbus Academy 3-2 May 12, 14 — Competed in Division I sectional tournament at Hilliard Davidson. Jesse Shivener placed first in singles and Stephen Cheng and Canyon Teague were second in doubles. May 16 — Played New Albany in OTCA Division I district semifinal.

Practices help Gahanna regain focus By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Because of this spring’s weather, the Gahanna Lincoln High School softball team played a game nearly every day the weather permitted during the first two weeks of May and fell into its first extended slump of the season. The feeling inside the Lions’ dugout was that their back-to-back practices May 10 and 11 might have been just what they needed. On May 12 in the second round of the Division I district tournament, Gahanna blew out Dublin Scioto 11-0 in five innings to advance to a district semifinal for the 10th consecutive season. The Lions played Upper Arlington in a district semifinal on May 18. “Playing every day is nice, but I think that’s been a big part of the problem,” said coach Jim Campolo, whose team had lost five of seven before beating Scioto. “Obviously, it’s a short season, but you still have to review things and work on fundamentals. It was good for us to have a couple days of practice to do the things we need to do to be successful.” Getting off to a strong start also helped the Lions against Scioto. Senior pitcher Brandis Fishel struck out 12 of the 15 batters she faced and gave up just one hit, and the Lions had no errors. Offensively, Gahanna produced a 10run second inning. Tiyona Marshall was See BASEBALL, page B2 2-for-3 and drove in three runs, with
team gets down,” she said. “We’ve been working on encouraging one another instead of getting down. We haven’t actually had a practice in a long time. I think we’re back to normal now.” Gahanna, which was seeded second in the district, played an Upper Arlington team that has struggled with inconsistency and injuries all season. The Golden Bears, who lost to the Lions 1-0 in 11 innings in a district final a year ago, had a losing record even after upsetting 11th-seeded Pickerington Central 6-4 in the second round May 12. The Gahanna-UA winner plays fifthseeded Worthington Kilbourne or eighthseeded Delaware in a district final Thursday, May 19, at Pickerington Central. The Lions have not played either team this season. In second-round games May 12, Delaware beat Westerville Central 2-0 and Kilbourne defeated Westerville South 8-5. Delaware won the OCC-Capital Division at 14-0. Mikayla Cooper threw a one-hitter against Westerville Central and has been among the team’s top hitters. Other offensive leaders for Delaware By Steve Friend/ThisWeek include Carly Shaw, Kalene Schmidt, Cindy Bowman and Amber Arthur.

Coaches pleased with showing at OCC meet By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Gahanna Lincoln High School boys track and field team didn’t come close to winning the OCC-Ohio Division meet May 12 and 14 at Pickerington North, as it scored 92 points to finish well behind North (156) and Reynoldsburg (107). But considering that the Lions finished ahead of Lancaster (83), Pickerington Central (80), Newark (52), Groveport (50.5) and Grove City (27.5) with a relatively young and inexperienced group of athletes, coach Ed Rarey was far from disappointed. “I’m pleased with the fact that we were competitive against some good programs with such a young team,” Rarey said. “Our sprint team is made up of three sophomores and a junior, and our distance team is young as well. Our sophomores and freshmen have come a long way and they’ve still got a lot of room to improve, but they all ran well here. In this meet, we ran as good as we have all year, if not better.” The performance of junior Jake Blankenship was the highlight of the meet, as he won the pole vault with a state-record height of 16 feet, 10 inches. The previous record of 16-9 was set by Olentangy Liberty senior Chris Uhle
in the Division I state meet last year. “I’ve wanted this record for so long that I feel as much relieved as I do excited,” Blankenship said. “It feels good to know I own the state record, but it still hasn’t completely sunk in yet. I jumped 16-6 at Groveport (on May 3) and I came close to 16-10 there, so I used a stiffer pole (in the OCC-Ohio meet) and that made a difference. Now my goal is to become a consistent 166 jumper, hit the 17-foot mark and beat the Uhle twins (Chris and Joey).” The 400-meter relay also finished first at the league meet, finishing in 1 minute, 31.19 seconds to edge runnerup North (1:31.34). Placing second were Lucas Rogers in the 400 (51.63), the 400 relay (43.68) and the 1,600 relay (3:25.81). The Lions are competing in the Division I, district 2 meet, which concludes Saturday, May 21, at Hilliard Bradley. The top four finishers in each event advance to the regional meet Wednesday, May 25, and May 27 at North. Last year, Gahanna won its fifth consecutive district title, scoring 120 points to easily win the district 1 meet ahead of runner-up Westerville North (77). “We’re improving, and when the meet’s over, they’ll know we’ve been there,” Rarey said.

Gahanna won the OCC-Ohio meet three of the previous four seasons. “I knew we didn’t have a shot to win this year, because we have some holes to fill and we couldn’t score in five events, so we actually did a little better than I figured we would,” coach Roger Whittaker said. “We were focused, and we had some real good individual performances.” Lynnsey Brim won the long jump (18-0 1/2) ahead of the runner-up,

Placing second were Amanda Herbst in the pole vault (10-0), Chrishna Butler in the 100 hurdles (15.98) and the 1,600 relay (4:08.26). “Our 400 relay set the meet record and beat the state champs in a really exciting race,” Whittaker said. “We showed that we’re a big-meet team with some big-time performances.” The Lions are competing in the Division I, district 1 meet, which began May 17, continues on Thursday, May 19, and concludes Saturday, May 21, at Bradley. A year ago, Gahanna scored 132 points to easily win the district 1 meet, ahead of runner-up Dublin Coffman (97.5). “We’re definitely going to try to get runner-up, because it’s going to be hard to beat Dublin Coffman, because they have way too much power in every event,” Whittaker said. “Really, though, our biggest goal is to advance as many athletes as we can to regional and state.”

Once it became evident that no one was close to her best jump, Brim didn’t return for her final three attempts. “My first jump (13-1) wasn’t very good, so I was just aiming for 18 feet, because I thought that would be good enough to win,” she said. Dominae Gaston, Brim, Mieshia Parker and Daniella Johnson won the 800 relay in 1:42.34, ahead of runnerup Reynoldsburg (1:43.03). “We were three seconds off our school record, so we’re really proud ablankenship@thisweeknews.com of that,” Gaston said. “We’re like a www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

gles, as Peter Kobelt of New Albany placed second in 2008 and won the title in 2009 and Metka won the title last year. Five of the 12 players who represented central Ohio at state last year, including Metka and Bennoui, graduated. The other seven are back at district — Thomas Worthington’s Casey Cempre and Dublin Coffman’s Hiromi Nakayama in singles and Little and Weldon, Hendrix and Stein and Seitz in doubles. Cheng said he’s glad he doesn’t have to worry about Bennoui this year. “I’m really motivated,” he said. “I’ve lost to the same guy (Bennoui) the last two years. He’s graduated now, so I think it gives us an advantage.” “Riyad came up and flat out told us (at state that) Stephen and Canyon were better than that team (Bennoui and Hendrix) just played,” Schwinnen said. “Hearing that from a player at the state tournament was big for these guys’ confidence.”
Fishel signs with Ohio Dominican
and John Hendrix 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 in a district quarterfinal. Bennoui and Hendrix went on to place second at state, falling to Upper Arlington’s Stu Little and Billy Weldon 6-4, 6-1 in the final. “Stephen and Canyon were really disappointed they didn’t qualify for states last year,” Schwinnen said. “We went all to the state tournament last year and I was able to pull them aside and say, ‘Guys, I know getting to the state was a big goal, but look at who you got beat by. They’re beating everyone else in the state.’” The top four finishers in singles and doubles at district qualify for the state tournament, which will be held May 27-28 at Davidson. Three of the top four finishers in doubles at state the past two years have come from the Central District.

Boys track squad looking for regional berths By FRANK DiRENNA

ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Columbus Academy boys track and field team is looking to defend its Division III district title this week at Gahanna. The meet concludes Saturday, May 21. The top four finishers in each event advance to the regional meet Wednesday, May 25, and May 27 at Fairfield Union. Last season, the Vikings scored 98 points in the district meet to finish first ahead of runner-up Berne Union (69). Academy headed into the district meet after finishing second (108.5) in the MSL-Ohio Division meet May 10 and 13 at Heath, behind Granville (162) and ahead of Heath (101), Bexley (78), Whitehall (75.5), Licking Valley (74), Newark Catholic (37) and Lakewood (25). “Granville is good, and they have so many kids,” boys coach Bob Kirk said. “They have the luxury of having fairly fresh guys for some of the races, and we’re sitting there trying to double up and triple up and quadruple up in various events. It’s a little tricky, but I’m proud of them by the end of it when everybody is in their fourth race and they’re still racing hard and running hard and trying to win the race.” Jon Michael Hilsheimer finished first in the MSL-Ohio meet in the 800 meters (2 minutes, 0.11 seconds) and 1,600 (4:28.79) and teamed with Jake Tuckerman, Dominic Facciolla and John Sutton to win the 3,200 relay (8:08.6). Also winning were Facciolla in the 3,200 (10:15.81) and Jack Lint in the 110 hurdles (16.05). “You just hope that things fall into place at district and that people advance and get in the top four,” Kirk said. “If they do, good things can happen, but it’s mostly a matter of you have to recover in between the races and get yourself ready for that day.” The girls team finished fourth (91) in the MSL-Ohio meet behind Granville (164), Heath (136) and Bexley (111) and ahead of Licking Valley (53), Whitehall (48), Newark

Catholic (32) and Lakewood (25). Sophomore Sara Timko successfully defended her league title in the high jump, finishing first in 5 feet, 2 inches. Last season, she placed second at district (5-0) and fifth (5-1) at regional, missing a state-qualifying berth by one spot. “She was extremely disappointed in finishing fifth last year because she was knocked out based on misses,” girls coach Dani Sparks said. “Her and the young lady (Dola Hardin Northern’s Shelby Stump) who finished fourth jumped the same height, but Sara had one more miss
than that young lady, so that young lady got to go to the state meet and Sara was bummed by missing it by that much.” Last season at district, the girls team was second (57) behind Grandview (87). “The team has the potential to at least match that, however, their goal is to try to be district champs,” Sparks said. •The boys tennis team will be well represented in the Division II district tournament on Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, at home. The Vikings are coming off a strong
showing in the sectional tournament May 13 and 14 at home, as Langston Hughes and Chris Perrini won the doubles title, the doubles team of Dan Leathery and Abram Schottenstein placed second and Sean Firouzian finished fourth in singles. The top four finishers in singles and doubles at sectional advanced to district. Hughes and Perrini defeated Leathery and Schottenstein 7-5, 6-0 in the final. “I can’t coach those matches,” coach Jeff Warstler said. “You leave it alone because you can’t favor one over another. It certainly feels good. I see them in practice every day, so I know what to expect. You can just sit and enjoy it.” In the first round at district, Hughes and Perrini will face Village Academy’s Alan Clinton Richard and Cody Richard, Leathery and Schottenstein

It’s not necessarily likely, but it’s possible. If we could get two, that would be outstanding, but I’m really hoping that we get one in there and then maybe we can make some noise.” Last season in the state doubles final, Hughes and 2010 graduate Eoghan Bahnson lost to their teammates, 2010 graduates Chad Buchanan and Andrew Enslen, 6-3, 6-4. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Commentary
Bobcats learn life lesson in ‘victory’ football field inside the track, head looking upward and hands interlocked just above the back of his neck. After the disqualification, Grandview trailed 134-131. “It had nothing to do SCOTT with the race, it had nothHENNEN ing to do with the kids. It was just a rule,” Grandview coach Brian Schoch said. “I know it’s a rule, so I guess they had to call it.” But not without discussion. Schoch and several other coaches debated with officials for several minutes, but to no avail. Evans was ticketed for the track equivalent of driving 68 mph in a 65-mph zone. Grandview’s 1,600 relay of Joe Trapp, Dylan Golding, Ben Mathes and Ryan Schofield then finished second (3:33.1) behind Licking Heights (3:32.54) and Liberty Union finished fourth (3:41.82), meaning the Bobcats and Liberty Union were co-champions with 139 points. “We had to put up with a lot, coming back from more than 20 points down, and Luke had to put up with a lot,” said Schoch, fighting back tears after an emotional 15 minutes to end the meet. “Thank goodness the (1,600 relay) came through and ran their best time ever. They knew what was on the line.” It was a good thing the 1,600 relay realized what was on the line, because the meet officials seemed to have forgotten. The rule cited was similar to the one about wearing jewelry, which requires a warning before a disqualification. If the official didn’t notice the wardrobe malfunction until late in the race then he probably should have ignored it. I doubt Evans would have been disqualified for
wearing a necklace. The situation reminds me of a league wrestling meet I covered several years ago. A heavyweight wrestler with a sub-.500 record was competing in a third-place match with his team a couple of points out of first place. He pinned his opponent, so the points from the match and the points for placing third earned his team the league title by one-half point, but that was to change. After the referee raised the wrestler’s arm as the victor, he unsnapped his headgear, tossed it above his head in jubilation and raced to hug his coach in a moment he was sure to remember forever. It was a pivotal moment, but for another reason. During the embrace, the referee went to the scorer’s table and took one team point away for excessive celebration, giving the wrestler’s team the runner-up trophy by one-half point. The jubilation quickly turned to disappointment. That decision stuck with me, as does this one. There is a time and a place for making calls, and these two instances probably were not the appropriate situations. But, as stated earlier, sports are filled with life lessons, and maybe this was an example of that. In this case, the fact is that life isn’t always fair. In the end, the Grandview boys won their first league track and field championship since 1984, with the only consolation being that they had to be co-champions. What do you do next after such an occurrence? You line up, shake hands with your co-champions and try to beat them next time, whether in the postseason or in next year’s league meet. Just like in any other point in life, you pick yourself up and get back to work. shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Participation in sports is much more than kids burning off excess energy playing games. It’s a microcosm of life. Athletes not only learn how to hit a baseball or softball, how to make a bounce pass in the lane, how to execute a double-leg takedown or how to condition and pace themselves during a two-mile run. They also acquire skills needed to work with others toward a common goal, to win or lose gracefully and to play by the rules. Sometimes, though, the interpretation of rules can interfere with the efforts put forth by competitors and, for lack of a better explanation, make little or no sense. Take, for example, an outstanding effort by Luke Evans, a freshman on the Grandview Heights High School boys track and field team. With the Bobcats and Liberty Union tied for the lead (123 points) before the final two events of the MSL-Cardinal Division meet May 13 at Berne Union, Evans and teammate Chase Gage finished second (10 minutes, 25.0 seconds) and third (10:27.59), respectively, in the 3,200 meters behind Austin McClean of West Jefferson (10:19.69). That gave the Bobcats a 137-132 edge before the final event, the 1,600 relay. The lead was short lived because Evans was disqualified minutes after his race because of a uniform violation. He was wearing black tights that fell a few inches below the hem on his uniform. That was OK; regulation, if you will. The problem was found a couple of inches above the hem of his running shorts — a segment of half-inch gray stitching on one side of the black tights, an abnormality that would not have been seen without his running shorts hiking up while he was running. A distraught Evans walked across the

Community news Band, choir rated superior; final concerts slated Following a recent successful competition, the Gahanna Lincoln High School choirs and band have announced their final concerts of the school year. The high school choirs will perform at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 22, and the final band concert will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 24. Band director Rob Cebriak said the concert bands and choirs all received the highest possible rating at the state adjudicated event held May 6 and 7 in Gahanna. Each of the five choirs and three bands earned a “one” or “superior” rating from the four-judge panel that heard their performances. The musicians earned the right to appear at state when they earned superior ratings at the district event in March. “We’re very proud of what these kids accomplished and the high level of technique and artistry that they demonstrated,” said Jeremy Lahman, GLHS choir director. “It’s unheard of for a school to qualify eight groups to state and for all of them to be rated superior. On top of that, for all of the bands and four of the choirs, the judges’ ratings were unanimous.” More than 600 Gahanna musicians — about one-fourth of the high school students — performed in those eight ensembles. “The standards are extremely high at the state-level event,” Cebriak said. “And our students exceeded those expectations. Each group was complimented for its at-
tention to detail and its musical expression.” Cebriak attributed much of the students’ success to the strength of the elementary and middle school music programs. “The bands and choirs could not perform at this level if it were not for the foundations laid in the general music classes and the high quality that is fostered in the middle school ensembles,” he said.
Science Academy students excel at events The Gahanna Lincoln High School Science Academy has been impressing judges in regional competitions for the third consecutive year, said Fred Donelson, academy coordinator. Eleven Gahanna students (four more than last year) presented papers during the prestigious Ohio Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, held recently at Bowling Green State University. For the second year in a row, a Gahanna project won fourth place. Nisitha Sengottuvel won $500 and a trip to the national competition in San Diego, with a project studying intrinsic and extrinsic rewards and their effects on learning in elementary students. Six students submitted research papers for the Columbus Technical Council 2011 Science Competition, competing against some of the best students from central Ohio. For the first time, all six students received at least one award, and several re-
ceived multiple awards. Katie Sharkey won an honorable mention from the American Society for Materials for her research into color-changing roofing tiles. Jordan Zink and Ainsley Baum both received honorable mention awards from the Instrument Society of America, and Derek Cox received the first-place ISA award, which included a cash award and plaque. Zink researched using magnetic fields to coordinate swarm robotics, and Baum developed a prototype prosthetic hand using muscle wire technology. Cox also received a plaque and cash award from the Institute for Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE), along with Houston Fortney. Cox investigated the use of magnetic guide wires in public transportation, and Fortney developed a prototype autonomous underwater vehicle that uses an induction recharging device coupled with a solar collector and an infrared guidance system. This is the second consecutive year Gahanna students have swept the ISA and IEEE awards at the CTC competition. Megan Lowe received two awards for her work in developing environmentally friendly oil dispersants. She received the CTC Chemistry Award (plaque and cash) and a cash award from the Association for Women in Science in Central Ohio (AWISCO). Fortney and his AUV also was awarded second prize (cash and plaque) and was named runner-up for the Columbus Technical Council science student of the year. This is the third year Gahanna has received an award in this category, with

Ji Hoon Chun receiving runner-up last year and Collin Pittro winning the top honor in 2009. The Science Academy underwater robotics team traveled to Alpena Michigan to compete in the regional MATE Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) competition, attempting to qualify for the international competition against the best ROVs in the Midwest. The team swept all major categories, receiving first place in the poster competition, having the best mission score, winning the engineering presentation and the overall competition, and qualifying for the international event, which will be held at the NASA Neutral Buoyancy Tank in Houston in June. The team also received the prestigious Ford Innovation Award, a traveling trophy given each year to the team with the most innovative ROV. “These students had big shoes to fill after last year’s senior class, but they have risen to the occasion,” Donelson said. “I’m so excited that they are getting recognized, as they have put in countless hours of research and work this year. We always tell our kids that if you do the right things and work hard, good things will follow, and this group has shown again that hard work does pay off.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE 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.

Animal shelter offering special adoption fees In order to increase the chances of finding permanent homes for the animals currently in care at the CHA Animal Shelter, as well as future animals coming in, a special adoption fee of $50 will be offered through the end of May. This includes animals of all ages, as well as the spay/neuter surgery, microchip, current vaccines, and a voucher for a free exam with a participating veterinarian, according to the announcement. As an added promotion for animals that have been in the shelter for five months or more, during the weekend of May 20-22, CHA will be offering a $5 adoption fee on those long term animals. “CHA’s number-one goal is always the health and wellbeing of our animals,” development director Terri Montigny said in a statement. “While the upfront adoption fee may be lower, we have the same adoption policies in place and potential adoptions will meet
with an adoption counselor to help determine a best match for the family.” CHA Animal Shelter is located at 3765 Corporate Drive in northeast Columbus, just south of Westerville. The shelter is open Monday through Friday 6:30 to 8 p.m. and weekends 1 to 4 p.m. The shelter is closed on Wednesday. Potential adopters may visit CHA Animal Shelter’s website for a complete listing of available dogs and cats at www.CHAAnimalShelter.org. When looking to adopt, all family members should make arrangements to be available to meet the animal prior to finalizing an adoption. Renters should bring a copy of their lease and pet addendum. CHA Animal Shelter, a registered nonprofit organization, has been helping homeless animals find new homes in central Ohio since 1975.

Herb Day 2011 Veterans return Mayfeaturing “The Herbal Kitchen” to Point du Hoc Saturday, May 21, 9am-4pm 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 after the war, 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 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 (Monte) Cassino, 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 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

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, at-
tention deficit hyperactivity disorder and o b s e s s iv e compulsive behaviors ( r e p e t i t iv e thoughts and PEDRO movements) WEISLEDER 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 symptoms of TS are mild and not nec-
essarily 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.
