Actors’ Theatre

Swordplay tale opens summer season

OPERATION COMMUNITY CUP

By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers “The Scarlet Pimpernel” will kick off Actors’ Theatre of Columbus’ 30th summer season in Schiller Park. It’s a tale that includes daring action, romance and idealism — not to mention some lively swordplay, said John S. Kuhn, artistic director of the German Village-based theater troupe. “It’s really a story about the lengths someone will go to defend an ideal,” Kuhn said. All shows will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, May 26 through June 26, at Schiller Park. A special matinee performance will be held A closer at 2 p.m. June 26 to coincide with German look Village Haus und Garten Tour. All shows will be Admission is free held at 8 p.m. Thursbut donations will be day through Sunday, sought during interMay 26 through June mission. 26, at Schiller Park. The play is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Baroness Emmuska Orczy and is set in Paris during the French Revolution. The play centers on the daring exploits of the Pimpernel, the leader of an English secret society intent on rescuing French aristocrats from daily executions during the Reign of Terror. Unbeknownst to a select few, including his wife, Marguerite (Beth Josephsen-Simon), Sir Percy Blakeney (Travis Horseman) is the masked, swashbuckling marauder. After they become estranged over a dispute, Marguerite is blackmailed by Citizen Chauvelin, the new French envoy to England. A series of events reveals Percy Blakeney’s true identity. As he heads back to France, with his wife in pursuit, Blakeney meets with more calamity and adventure. Kuhn said he wrote the adaptation intertwining the love story with vigorous fight scenes while keeping true to the story. “I always approach it with a huge amount of hu-

Last July, when he was 89 years old, James “Pee Wee” Martin celebrated the 65th anniversary of America’s victory in World War II with a reprise of his youth: He made a parachute jump. He wants to do it again this year. For most of the past 66 years since the war ended, Martin has lived on 50 acres near Dayton, in a house he and his wife built themselves. “I do all the things I used to do, just not as much,” Martin said. “We heat with wood and I split the wood. I have 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 See AREA WWII VETERANS, page A2

Area WWII veterans return to Point du Hoc Continued from page A1 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 clear-

SEASON Continued from page A1 mility and respect for the author,” he said. “I try to translate to the stage what the author’s intent was in creating the novel.” Jason Speicher plays Degas, a Chauvelin henchman who is dispatched to capture the elusive Pimpernel. Speicher also is the fight choreographer, a role he cherishes and finds challenging. He and the actors spent hours rehearsing the fight scenes to make them feel — and appear — natural. “I make sure they’re always comfortable doing what they’re doing because if they aren’t comfortable on stage, the audience isn’t going to believe it’s real,” Speicher said. “I love it when the audience gets into the fight choreographies. It makes the actors get more invested into the fight scenes and makes them work harder.” He said the scenes are reminiscent of other swashbuckling classics, such as the “Three Musketeers” and “Treasure Island,” both previously performed by Actors’ Theatre. “They’re a little more flamboyant,” he said. “They’re always fun for the audience to watch. They’re usually fast and quick. The swordfighters are confident. Even if they’re losing, they still think they can win. Swordfights get people to come to a show. Acting gets people to stay, especially in Schiller Park.”

ly 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 thou-

sands 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 killed except Jake. At their age—the youngest is Zerg, at 87—they are familiar with their friends dying. All are in good health. None considers himself wounded by the war; rather the opposite. “It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of history,” Pee Wee said. “I really feel sorry for people of my generation who did not get a chance to go, because it’s the greatest experience you’re going to have in your lifetime. It’s never going to happen like that again.”

Clean diesel test receives state attention Continued from page A1 On April 12, nine buses began using the high-performance clean diesel, with the remaining buses sticking to the low-sulfur diesel. “If the fuel is working as claimed, we’ll see an increase in hydrocarbons” during the beginning cleansing period, Long said, and they did.“All but one bus showed a decrease in (nitrogen oxides).”

As for mileage, Long said, testing showed a “statistically significant increase.” The buses saw an average increase of 16 percent in mileage. “We’re seeing improvements in miles per gallon and a reduction in emissions,” said the EcoChem CEO and chairman, Josh Koch. “We’re able to deliver this technology to where it’s economically viable.” Along with a decrease in the city’s car-

bon footprint, Crandall said, the fuel could offer savings. “If we realize a 10-percent increase in fuel efficiency, we’ll see $135,000 to $150,000 per year in savings,” she said. The Dublin school district purchases diesel from the city, Crandall said, and the district could see an annual savings of $100,000 with the clean diesel. Nally applauded Dublin for organizing the partnership and testing a fuel that

could help the state reduce emissions and meet new air-quality standards. “This is a prime example of how business and environment can go hand in hand,” he said during the May 11 demonstration. “This is exciting. It’s something positive, and it has a positive bottom line. We need to encourage more of this across the state.” The study is not finished, though. The 12 Dublin school buses will continue with

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. PEDRO In most patients, the symptoms 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.

As it were

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 ED and nasty struggle. LENTZ 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 clean, wide and deep. It was a land worth fighting for and many people did just that. Wanting to maintain the lucrative fur trade that had made a fortune for the French, the British government tried to keep its restless Atlantic colonists away from Ohio. It was a vain effort. The initial ventures of men called “long hunters” soon were followed by dozens and then hundreds of settlers seeking to find a new home in a new country. The American Indian residents of the Ohio Valley resisted the newcomers, and the result often was violent and deadly on both sides. Then came the American Revolution, and the Ohio country was the scene of even more death and destruction. At the end of the Revolution, the newly created United States found itself with an unpaid army and a lot of very large debts. And while the new country had 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, above-medium 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 redbrick house of the Nelsons of Nelson Road. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Commentary

Bobcats learn life lesson in ‘victory’ 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 doubleleg takedown or how to condition and pace themSCOTT selves during a two-mile HENNEN 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 137132 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 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 with the race, it had nothing 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

Rodriguez leads track team at OCC By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek

The Cougars’ Moni Neri advanced to the final of the 800 meters at the district meet May 21.

Westland High School track and field coach Tim Eckard hopes to use the postseason to build his athletes’ confidence for next year. The girls team competed in the Division I, district 1 meet and the boys team competed in the Division I, district 2 meet last week at Hilliard Bradley. Both meets concluded May 21 with finals in the running events. The top four finishers in each district event advanced to the regional meet Wednesday, May 25, and Friday, May 27, at Pickerington North. “We’re definitely peaking at the right time,” Eckard said. “We have a bunch of young kids and you hope at the end of the season that they understand the importance of a postseason and prepare themselves mentally and physically for the second season, and our kids have.” Each team finished eighth in the OCC-Central Division meet on May 12 and 14 at Hilliard Davidson. The boys team scored 13 points, finishing behind first-place Davidson (170.5), Dublin Coffman (158.5), Thomas Worthington (129.5), Hilliard Darby (96.5), Upper Arlington (49), Central Crossing (20) and Worthington Kilbourne (19). Senior Jose Rodriguez, who did not compete in track last season, returned this spring and led

the Cougars in the league meet with a fifth-place finish in the 300-meter hurdles (41.08 seconds). “Jose was probably the biggest surprise at the league meet,” Eckard said. “To me probably the highlight of the meet was Jose. You like seeing him go out like that.” Rodriguez qualified for the May 21 district final in the 300 hurdles after earning the fourth seed (41.95) in the preliminary May 18. In the league meet, Kris Davies, Chris Butcher, Erick Martinez and Giann Martinez were fifth in the 800 relay (1:38.66) and Butcher, Jonathan Bowen, Giann Martinez and Shawn Thomas were sixth in the 400 relay (46.60). Dayon Walton was eighth in the 110 hurdles (17.55). The girls team (10) finished behind first-place Coffman (164.5), Davidson (131), UA (100), Darby (88), Thomas (84.5), Kilbourne (55) and Central Crossing (26). Jackie Barnhart led the Cougars with a thirdplace finish in the discus (95 feet, 10 inches). Moni Neri qualified for the May 21 district final in the 800 after earning the eighth seed (2:44.55) in the preliminary May 17. •The softball team gave third-seeded Groveport a battle in a Division I district tournament second-round game on May 12 before losing 4-0.

Ready Roundup

Softball squad advances despite adversity By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Emotions ran high throughout the Ready High School softball team’s 7-5 victory over East Knox in a Division III district semifinal May 16 at Pickerington Central. In the first inning, No. 3 hitter Dani Pugh doubled and came in to score on a double by Erin Bennett. On Pugh’s scoring slide into home, she broke her leg in two places. “My dugout just went quiet,” coach Nick Joseph said. “Our trainer was there, See HENNEN, page A6 and the trainer took her to urgent care

immediately. She was back before the game was over.” During the innings that followed, Ready tied the game at 3 on a two-run home run by Sam Curry and added two runs each in the fifth and seventh innings to advance to a district championship game for the 10th time in 11 seasons. The Silver Knights, who were seeded eighth for the district tournament, played top-seeded Liberty Union in a district final May 19. “We got down but we came back,” Joseph said. “We’ve been playing fairly well. All of a sudden we changed a few things around and Dani had been

hitting well and Haley Widner has jumped on fire for us.” Pugh, a shortstop who signed with Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne, entered the East Knox game hitting .526. Her replacement was freshman Haylee Patel. If Ready beat Liberty Union, it will face Lucasville Valley or Portsmouth West in a regional semifinal May 26 at Lancaster. The last time the Silver Knights faced Portsmouth West was when they beat the Senators 4-1 in a 2006 regional semifinal. •The boys track and field team competed in the Division III district meet at

Gahanna and the girls team competed in the Division II district meet at Hamilton Township. Running finals in both meets were held May 21. At the CCL championships that concluded May 14 at Columbus School for Girls, the girls were third and the boys were fifth. Emily Morris won her third consecutive conference title in the shot put with a throw of 42 feet. She also placed among the top seven in the discus in each of her prep seasons, winning the title this year with a throw of 112-1. See READY, page A6

Continued from page A5 against Hilliard Darby. Against Groveport, junior pitcher Ashley Collins allowed six hits, struck out five and walked two. Westland committed four errors. “We just made bad mistakes at bad times, and they capped it off with the right hits at the right time,” coach Mike North said. “We put ourselves behind the 8-ball and then we can’t dig ourselves out.” Groveport credited senior pitcher Emma Johnson with a no-hitter, although North gave Brooke Harris a double in the fifth inning. “The hit was legit because Brooke had a double to the wall,” North said. “Their girl couldn’t get to it.” Johnson, who was first-team all-state last season, began the game with nine consecutive strikeouts.

Other strong finishes for the girls team were turned in by Holland Jones in the long jump (second, 15-1/4), the 3,200 relay of Nikki Brown, Kaiser, Elli Moehrman and Abby Schofield (second, 10:14.82), the 400 relay of Clare Bochy, Carly Culbertson, Jones and Caitlin McAndrew (third, 51.61) and the 800 relay of the same four (third, 1:49.83). For the boys team, Taron Slone won the 100 (10.86) and the long jump (19-9 1/2) and Nick Frye was first in the 110 hurdles (14.82) and the 300 hurdles (39.1). The 400 relay of Demetrius Clark, Frye, Holsten Jones and Slone took second (44.14) and the 800 relay of the same four finished third (1:33.46). Jonas Wahl added a third-place finish in the high jump (5-8). The performance of Kaiser, according to coach Dean Tower, complemented the strong performances by Frye, Morris and Slone. “(Kaiser) has always said she’d like to run the low hurdles, so I said, ‘Why don’t you give it a try’ a few weeks ago,” Tower said. “She’s run it five times, and she really came through for us.” •The baseball team lost to Amanda-Clearcreek 7-3 in the first round of the Division III district tournament May 10 to finish 12-10 overall.

HENNEN 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.

(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 shennen@thisweeknews.com change.
