District looking at $3.7 million in cuts By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers With the state budget still making its way through the approval process, Superintendent Steve Dackin said Reynoldsburg schools are anticipating expenditure cuts of $3.7 million over the next two fiscal years. That includes a reduction in antici-

pated expenditures of $2.4 million for the 2012 fiscal year and another $1.3 million for the 2013 fiscal year. He told the board of education at its May 17 meeting the lower spending is in response to the reduction in revenues expected from state and federal cuts. Details of how the district will reduce expenditures will be announced closer to the finalization of the state budget,

Ad hoc group will examine city’s finances

Dackin said. As for specific cuts, he said they most likely will include district personnel. “Certainly, personnel is the largest part of our budget, so for us to reduce at the magnitude we’re talking about reducing … it’s any savings we can get,” Dackin said. He said negotiating with the teachers union will be a factor.

“I’ll move forward with reductions; negotiations will impact the magnitude of those personnel reductions, potentially,” Dackin said. He said if House Bill 153 gets approved by the Senate, it will most likely head to a conference committee, with the assumption some changes will be made. “I am told it is on target to be approved

by the conference committees in both houses and sent to the governor and approved by June 30,” Dackin said. “So the good news, if there’s good news in this budget, it looks like it’s headed off for a timely approval process.” Despite potential budget changes before its final approval Dackin said the See CUTS, page A3

SWING TIME

Harris suggests $2-million transfer from CIP budget to general fund By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Reynoldsburg City Council named five people May 23 to a special ad hoc committee to explore possible permanent budget fixes for the city. The recommendation was made by Mayor Brad McCloud, city auditor Richard Harris and council president Bill Hills. Harris said having a committee that is not involved in the city’s day-to-day operations could provide an honest appraisal of how to fix the problem. The five people appointed to the committee — Brad Sprague, Dave Reidel, Linda Smith, Bill Shorthill and Larry McGrath — have expertise in banking, investment, finance and business ownership. One item the committee could discuss is a suggestion Harris made at Monday’s council meeting to transfer $2 million from the city’s capital improvement plan (CIP) fund to the general fund in order to provide an adequate budget balance at the end of 2012 to cover the city’s day-to-day operating expenditures.

Handicap-accessible playground plans take shape By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Kiwanis Club of Reynoldsburg and the city’s parks and recreation department hope to break ground in June 2012 on a handicap-accessible playground in Kennedy Park. The idea was presented to the city by Kiwanis

Club secretary Phil Kiser, who served as Reynoldsburg’s parks and recreation director between 1971 and 2002. Kiser said plans are only in the preliminary stages now. A site plan has not been developed yet, nor has a location been chosen in Kennedy Park, but he said those plans will be in the works in the next few months.

Kiser said building such a facility would cost about $125,000, money he said the club hopes to receive through donations, fundraisers and possible grants, if any are available. He said the grants could come from such organizations as the Columbus Foundation or the See PLAYGROUND, page A4

Retiring Reynoldsburg school bus driver named driver of the year By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Retiring Reynoldsburg school bus driver Mary Ellen Theaumont was honored last week with the bus driver of the year award in the central region by the Ohio Association of Pupil Transportation (OAPT). The Reynoldsburg Board of Education presented Theaumont with a certificate of recognition for the achievement on May 17. District transportation supervisor Mike Rosenberger has nothing but good things

to say about Theaumont and her long career driving for Reynoldsburg schools over the past 39 years. “She has transported 6,000-plus students in her career, traveled 725,000 bus miles, taken 2,400 field trips that included two state championship teams in track and volleyball,” Rosenberger said. “She’s been a member of the Reynoldsburg school’s safety committee, a union building representative, a service director for the Girl Scouts of America for five years, a scout leader for 18 years, and member of the Knights of Columbus Women League for 10 years.”

OAPT president-elect Tim Cox said among some 4,000 school bus drivers in 11 counties that encompass the central region, Theaumont is the best of the best. He said she was chosen to receive the award because of the length of time she committed herself to the job, for her outstanding attendance and dependability, and for her safe driving record and good student discipline. “Mary Ellen was always friendly, always knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for anybody, just a model See BUS DRIVER, page A2

â€œThat was the furthest thing in the world from what I would have thought I would have ever wanted to do â€Ś and here I am today, crying because Iâ€™m choosing to give it up,â€? Theaumont said. She said it will be hard to leave the relationships sheâ€™s forged with her fellow bus drivers over the years and although she may do some substitute driving after she retires, she wants to spend time with her hobbies and her family, which now includes 11 grandchildren. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

burg, and itâ€™s because of Mr. Rosenberger, a compassionate and professional person,â€? she said. â€œHe makes us live by the things that weâ€™re supposed to do as a driver. â€œAnd we also have an exceptional secretary, Diana, that just keeps us going. No matter what kind of problem comes over those radios, weâ€™re able to solve it between her and all the drivers,â€? she said. Before becoming a bus driver, Theaumont said driving a school bus was the last thing she ever envisioned herself doing.

Cox said. â€œShe has transported many students safely, and because of her, they are doctors, attorneys, school board members â€Ś .She was there in the mornings and there in the afternoons, and the Ohio Association of Pupil Transportation honors her for her 39 years of service.â€? Theaumont, 72, was hired as a driver on March 26, 1973 and will retire from that position in June. She said receiving the award is quite an honor and wanted to thank Rosenberger as well as the school board and administration. In addition, she also wanted to recognize her fellow school bus drivers. â€œThey had such a positive response to this when we were told this is what I had gotten, and I felt bad because thereâ€™s 45 drivers out there and every one of them could have gotten this award as well,â€? Theaumont said. â€œWe have a terrific transportation department here in Reynolds-

ting off 10 or 12 police officers,â€? Harris said. â€œVery tough decisions are going to have to be made as to which direction we want to go,â€? he said. â€œWeâ€™ve kicked this can down the road for the past 10 years. Weâ€™re clearly at the end of the road and somethingâ€™s going to have to be done one way or the other.â€? Hills said the ad hoc committee will announce soon when it will meet; the meetings will be open to the public. He said the committee will review, evaluate and discuss the existing city budget, including all known or anticipated modifications to expenses and revenues, and will recommend shortterm and long-term solutions to the budget issues faced by the city. Hills said the committee will report back with recommendations to city council at its first meeting in July. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

to the point where we canâ€™t stretch it any more,â€? he said. Harris said when Abercrombie & Fitch left Reynoldsburg 10 years ago and moved to New Albany, the city lost between $1.5 million and $2 million per year in tax revenue. â€œWeâ€™ve never really recovered from that,â€? he said. â€œAnd â€Ś our cost of medical insurance in the last 10 years has gone up $1.2 million. â€œThe last time this city had a tax increase was Jan. 1, 1982, when gasoline was 56 cents per gallon, and today, itâ€™s almost $4 per gallon,â€? he said. Harris said Reynoldsburg officials have made tough decisions over the last 30 years, but the way the state budget is shaping up, the city may not be able to avoid making major cuts. â€œWith these changes the state is making, itâ€™s now a choice between finding additional sources of revenue or cutting off our parks and recreation department, or cut-

Harris said Reynoldsburg could lose $1.75 million from its tax budget over the next four years, according to early calculations on the state budget. Council discussed the proposal but took no action on it. Hills asked how much would be left in the CIP fund if the transfer were to be made. â€œAbout $1.25 million,â€? Harris replied. â€œAt this point, weâ€™re only putting, on average, $200,000 a year in the CIP and if you look at what other cities about our size are putting in, weâ€™re putting in 2 percent of income tax money and Hilliard puts in 30 percent.â€? Even so, Hills said, the city has still been able to maintain fairly substantial road and building improvements over the past few years. â€œWeâ€™ve gotten a lot of credit for that, but it only stretches so far, and weâ€™ve stretched those excess savings account dollars about

RHS grad returning to school district as assistant principal By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Jamie Wilson, a 2001 Reynoldsburg High School graduate, has been named assistant principal of Waggoner Road Junior High School, effective Aug. 1. Wilson will succeed former Waggoner Road Junior High School assistant principal Max Lallathin. Her annual base salary will be $75,433. District human resource director Sonia Postema said Wilson’s complete cost to the district, including benefits, annually is $104,050. Postema said Lallathin resigned this year for personal reasons. The Reynoldsburg Board of Education approved hiring Wilson on May 17 after a recommendation from Superintendent Steve Dackin. Wilson, daughter of Sandra and William Wilson, spent this past year as an administrative dean at the high school. Dackin was principal at the high school when she was a student there. “I think she’s phenomenal, that’s why I recommended her,” he said. “She’s a talent and a Reynoldsburg graduate … she’s going to do great things for kids. “We were lucky to employ her as an administrative intern this past year, and she has great promise. We’re excited about the opportunity for her to serve as assistant principal,” he said. After graduating from RHS, Wilson attended Northern Illinois University with a full scholar-

ship, where she studied education, with an emphasis on math. She also played on the university’s women’s basketball team. After graduating in 2005, she taught eighth-grade math at Robert Frost Middle School and at Crete-Monee Middle School, both located outside Chicago. Jamie Wilson She also attended Governors State University, where she received a masters degree in administration in 2009 before moving back to Reynoldsburg. Wilson said she decided to come back to Reynoldsburg because she felt confident there were good opportunities to work in the school district. “I’m excited. There have been some good changes happening here and this is like leaving home, which I called Chicago, and then coming back home,” Wilson said. “It’s a good opportunity to come back and give back to my community, like what I received as a student here, so I want to keep the spirit of excellence going,” she said. “I feel blessed that they’re giving me the opportunity. I strive on being excellent and growing under the direction of Waggoner Road Junior High School principal Chris Brooks and the staff.” dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

CUTS

Faith and Fellowship

Continued from page A1 allocations that districts might expect don’t appear to be changing that much. “As it appears, revenue in Ohio through state income tax and sales tax appears to be up over estimates, so that may influence some of the final appropriation numbers for education, but not significantly enough to change our numbers,” he said. Treasurer Tammy Miller told the board the reduction in anticipated expenditures has been incorporated into the district’s five-year forecast. “What this five-year forecast does will show a positive cash balance for 2014, which was the commitment we made during the levy, so despite we had our state funding cut, we’re trying very hard to maintain that levy promise,” Miller said. She said there was no exact figure to report on what that positive cash balance would be, but said she expects it to be positive based on the current forecast. “We have not set an actual dollar target; because of the cuts in state funding, we’re going to have to make some cuts to achieve a positive cash balance in 2014,” Miller said. “It seems right now that the $2.4 million is going to be what our cut is,” she said. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

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.

PLAYGROUND Continued from page A1 Ohio Department of Natural Resources. “We’ll be looking at all the possibilities, and if we go after grants from the ODNR, we’ll have to have legislation from Reynoldsburg City Council to allow an application to be submitted,” Kiser said. Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department director Jason Shamblin said he is looking forward to seeing the playground becoming a reality. “I’ve been meeting and working with them on this, so we’ll be a partner during this process. We’re always excited when a local organization comes in and wants to work with us to improve facilities and services that we have to offer,” Shamblin said. “I think it is pretty realistic. We’re going to help lay the groundwork and I’m sure we’ll get a lot of community involvement in it,” he said. “In the Reynoldsburg school system, they have almost 500 kids with some type of special needs, so we do have quite a population

Letter Graham Road can ‘barely handle’ traffic To the editor: Graham Road can barely handle the traffic using it, yet it is the main through route between Main Street and Livingston Avenue (state Route 256). Any accident, congestion or delivery blocks the street now. In reality, it needs to be three lanes in its entirety. The third lane would serve as an appropriate left turn lane at the Broadwyn, Burkey and Palmer intersection plus to extend the current third lane at the Livingston-256 intersection. If this were accomplished, you might consider truck traffic. Otherwise, don’t even think about it. Art Levenstein Reynoldsburg

here in the community and we hope those parents and students would join us in looking at this playground and design in the coming months,” Shamblin said. Kiser said upon looking at the playgrounds in the city, both at schools and public parks, there is no such a facility available. “We’d like to see that capability be in this community so that all people will feel included, you know,” Kiser said. “It would be for anybody at all ages, no matter what their situation is, and if they’re in a wheelchair or disabled, they can get to the equipment and still use it.” He said the playground would be like any others, with swings and slides and other similar playground equipment, except it would be equipped with a special rubberized surface. “The rubberized surface would be for safety, protecting children of any type to be able to utilize it,” Kiser said. He said the idea originated when he and other Kiwanis Club members realized there is no playground in Reynoldsburg for children with special needs. “Other communities have something similar, some more extensive than others, like in Westerville, Gahanna, or Dublin, but we don’t have anything truly like one

here,” Kiser said. He said Kennedy Park was selected as the site for the playground because of its location. “It’s centrally located in the community, it‘s the most-used park in the system, plus it also has a large parking lot nearby,” Kiser said. Shamblin said the city would have to approve the construction of the playground once funds are collected by the Kiwanis Club. As design plans emerge, he said he expects to share them with the community to see if anyone has suggestions to offer. “We have playgrounds in all of our parks so this would be no different, but it would be an inclusive playground for all children,” Shamblin said. As with all of the preventive maintenance and inspections his department performs at Reynoldsburg’s parks and facilities, it would also perform the same duties at the playground once it is in service. He said the average cost to the city is only about $200 per year. Kiser said the 13 members of the Reynoldsburg Kiwanis Club meet every Wednesday at noon at Scrambler Marie’s restaurant, 7970 E. Broad St. He said anyone interested in helping with the playground project or joining the club may call him at (614) 868-0859.

Performing poets

1-866-497-4233

Dru Gaver and Andy Crider performed “Math,” a two-voiced poem, at a Poetry House event held at Hannah Ashton Middle School. Language arts teacher Amy McKibben taught students the different dimensions of poetry. Students then created an anthology of their own work to share at the Poetry House. Parents provided snacks and lava lamps to help set the mood. The newly minted poets received snaps (instead of applause) for their readings.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen REMOVING WAX BUILDUP

If left to its own devices, the yellowish waxy substance secreted by the ear canal (“cerumen”) will migrate out of the ear uneventfully. However, for some, ear wax buildup can cause impaction and conductive hearing loss. Additionally, wearers of hearing instruments are instructed in the most effective means of keeping their devices free of debris that can compromise their functioning ability. In the first-ever study to look into the subject, researchers found that bulb syringes sold over-the-counter in pharmacies (along with waxsoftening solution) are generally effective in removing ear wax buildup. Home treatment involving the use of mineral oil or glycerin in the ear was also found to be effective for many. Otherwise, a professional should be consulted. If you produce excessive ear wax that is interfering with your hearing, a hearing care professional can clear your ear canal by removing impacted ear wax. Techniques used for this procedure include irrigation, use of special instruments, and suction. Don’t try to fix the problem yourself; call Absolute Hearing Solutions today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation. Many of our patients have discovered that traveling to Gahanna was worth their drive. We are First in Class on Angie’s List, we beat competitor’s pricing by 25%-70%, we have the top 10 leading brands, and we put our customer’s first. We are located at 1000 Morrison Road, Suite H, Gahanna. Come see why patients are willing to make the drive to invest in their hearing. We look forward to hearing from you. We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!

Commentary

Hartley girls aim for state team title This weekend’s high school regional track and field meets are the final step to reaching a major goal for many athletes in central Ohio, which is qualifying for the state meet June 3-4 in Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium at Ohio State. The thrill of running, jumpLARRY ing, vaulting LARSON or throwing in the final event of the prep sports year is worth every second of preparation for most competitors. For three seniors at Hartley, the state meet represents not only another chance to win individual titles, but to recapture the Division II team championship. Aisha Cavin and Maya Pedersen were members of the Hartley team that finished third in Division II when they were freshmen and the team that won the Division II state title a year later. Chelsea Scott joined Cavin and Pedersen last year and helped the Hawks finish second to Cleveland Collinwood. Now, the girls are determined to make their last high school meet memorable. “I think the state championship meet is nerve-wracking for us because we are Hartley and know what is expected of us,” Pedersen said. “We are a legacy in high school girls track and always will be, so it’s our responsibility to our school to move our performances up a notch.” Scott agreed with her teammate. “This final meet is a chance to showcase our talents and show everyone that we are still on top, and running in this meet is really fun and exciting,” she said. Cavin, who won last year’s state title in the 400 meters, said, “This meet is different for us because of what it means for our school and that makes it all the better.” Looking ahead to what they face at state, Scott said it won’t be easy for the Hawks to win the title. “We have to be better this year than we were a year ago,” she said. “There are some outstanding teams out there including our neighbor, Eastmoor, who will challenge us, so we have to keep honest and work hard.” Pedersen said she, Cavin and Scott must lead the way. “The three of us have to set the example all day for our underclassmen, who will have to produce for us to win the team title,” Pedersen said. “Our confidence has to remain high and we have to use our ability to the fullest.” Cavin had a different outlook on her final high school competition. “I know it will be as exciting as ever and I wouldn’t change anything at all that happened over the past three years, but it

For the second season in a row, the Reynoldsburg High School baseball team fell one win shy of a Division I district championship. The Raiders lost to fourthseeded Westerville Central 127 in a district final on May 21 at Olentangy, ending their eightgame winning streak and ending their season with a 16-11 overall record. Central, which improved to 23-7 in winning its first district title, jumped out to a 10-1 lead on the strength of a four-run fourth inning and a five-run fifth. The Warhawks chased starting pitcher Jeremy Williams in the fifth. The Raiders scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth to make it 10-5 but got no closer. Reynoldsburg stranded 13

base runners, leaving the bases loaded in the third and fifth innings. “That was huge,” coach Rob Gravatt said. “We didn’t get the job done in those situations and Central did.”

“We had opportunities, but that’s the game of baseball — sometimes you succeed and sometimes you’ll fail,” junior first baseman Jeff Murray said. “We had 10 seniors on this team and we didn’t want it to end. We

had an eight-game winning streak, made it to a district final two years in a row and beat some quality teams to get there.” Reynoldsburg opened the district tournament with a 9-4 win over Whetstone on May 9. The

Raiders then beat 11th-seeded Marysville 7-4 in the second round on May 11 and upset third-seeded New Albany 3-0 in a district semifinal on May 19 before falling to Central. Reynoldsburg got off to a slow start this season, losing four of its first five games, and was 810 before starting its winning streak. The Raiders went 9-5 in the OCC-Ohio Division, winning their final five league games to tie Grove City for third, behind Pickerington North (12-2) and Gahanna (10-4) and ahead of Pickerington Central (8-6), Groveport (3-11), Newark (311) and Lancaster (2-12).

Track & Field

Raiders girls second, boys third in district By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

On the way to a Division I, district 3 runner-up finish May 21 at Hilliard Bradley, the Reynoldsburg High School girls track and field team earned the equivalent of blowout wins in each of the sprint relay races. The one-second victory the Raiders earned in the 400-meter relay and the win by nearly five seconds in the 800 relay were the kind of victories sophomore Diamond Gause was expecting. However, she believes there still is See LARSON, page B3 room for improvement in the 1,600 relay,

even though the Raiders won the event by nearly nine seconds at district. “I’m so confident in us because we work together so well,” Gause said. “With the (400 relay and 800 relay), we’ve got that. The only one we really need to work on is the (1,600 relay). We’ve got a lot of work to do in that.” Gause and Kacia Grant both ran on all three relays. Gause added a fourthplace finish in the 200 (26.18 seconds) and Grant took third in the 100 (12.76). The Raiders scored 116 points at district to place second of the 11 teams that scored, behind Dublin Scioto (139). The top four in each event moved on to

the regional meet, which began May 25 and concludes Friday, May 27, at Pickerington North. The top four in each event at regional qualify for the state meet June 3-4 at Ohio State. Faith Washington won her third consecutive district titles in both the 100 hurdles (15.23) and 300 hurdles (43.65). Destinee Gause won her third district title in a row in the 200 by running 24.3 and earned her second consecutive district championship in the 100 by running 12.04. Destinee Gause also ran on the 400 relay (47.48) and 1,600 relay (3:56.14)

and Washington ran on the 800 relay (1:41.77) and 1,600 relay. Donyelle Brown, who won a district title in the shot put last year, finished first in the discus (130 feet, 3 inches) and second in the shot put (41-7). Advancing on to regional with fourthplace finishes at district were Britany Anderson in the shot put (34-8) and Cherese Nimmons in the 400 (1:02.83). Yamonie Jenkins, who rounded out the 800 and 1,600 relays, added a fifthplace finish in the long jump (15-7). The 3,200 relay placed eighth (10:55.56). See TRACK, page B2

Hartley Roundup

Girls track team wins district championship By JARROD ULREY

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

There wasn’t much not to like for the Hartley High School boys and girls track and field teams as they got their postseasons started last week in the Division II district meets at Hamilton Township. The girls team qualified three relays and advanced six individuals in a total of nine events to regional on Thursday, May 26, and Saturday, May 28, in Dayton Welcome Stadium. After entering the district meet with a question about how to fully utilize the versatility of senior Aisha Cavin, the Hawks settled on running her in the 100 and 400 meters and in the 800 and 1,600 relays. Although Cavin settled for a runnerup finish in the 100 (11.82 seconds) behind Eastmoor Academy’s Aaliyah Barnes (11.80) after finishing with faster times than the sophomore in both the preliminaries and the semifinal, she won the 400 (57.53) and helped the two relays place first. Coach Richard Jones called Cavin’s failure to win the 100 a “momentary loss.” Last season at state, Cavin won the title in the 400, was fourth in the 200 and ran on the runner-up 800 relay and on the champion 1,600 relay. The top four finishers in each district event advanced to regional, where the top four in each event advance to the state meet June 3-4 at Ohio State. “We’re moving in the right direction,” Jones said. The girls finished first (111) of 22 teams that scored in the Division II district meet. Also winning for the girls were Chelsea Scott in the 100 hurdles (14.31) and 300 hurdles (43.82), the 400 relay of Nala Key, Deja Martin, Destany Martin and Scott (49.84), the 800 relay of Cavin, Najah Greer, Destany Martin and Maya Pedersen (1:41.94) and the 1,600 relay of Cavin, Greer, Mallory McCormick and Pedersen (3:55.25). The boys team finished third (67) of 14 teams that scored in the district 2 meet. Eastmoor (131) won and Granville (106) finished second. Capturing titles were the 800 relay of Anthony Allwein, Noah Key, Matt Simpson and Corey Thompson (1:29.89) and the 1,600 relay of Allwein, Key, Thompson and Isaiah Walls (3:23.12).

Below are the regional qualifiers for the Hartley track & field teams with district event, place and time/distance/height: BOYS — Anthony Allwein: 400 (third, 50.22); Noah Key: 400 (second, 49.84); Isaiah Walls: 110 hurdles (second, 15.33), 300 hurdles (first, 39.73); 400 relay: Key, Alonzo Saxton, Matt Simpson and Walls (second, 43.4); 800 relay: Allwein, Key, Simpson and Corey Thompson (first, 1:29.89); 1,600 relay: Allwein, Key, Thompson and Walls (first, 3:23.12) GIRLS — Cavin: 100 (second, 11.82), 400 (first, 57.53); Najah Greer: 200 (third, 25.92); Deja Martin: 100 (fourth, 12.66); Destany Martin: 100 (second, 15.55); Maya Pedersen: 200 (second, 25.53), 400 (third, 57.71); Chelsea Scott: 100 hurdles (first, 14.31), 300 hurdles (first, 43.82); 400 relay: Nala Key, Deja Martin, Destany Martin and Scott (first, 49.84); 800 relay: Cavin, Greer, Destany Martin and Maya Pedersen (first, 1:41.94); 1,600 relay; Cavin, Greer, Mallory McCormick and Pedersen (first, 3:55.25)

Hartley outfielder Connor Callahan makes a play against Ready on April 15. Callahan was one of eight seniors on the roster for the Hawks, whose season ended May 20 when they lost to Big Walnut 5-1 in a Division II district semifinal.

Walls also added a title in the 300 hurdles (39.73) and a runner-up finish in the 110 hurdles (15.33). “We started off this year with a lot of injuries,” Thompson said. “We’ve had so many underclassmen who have stepped up like Anthony Allwein.” •The girls lacrosse team played Columbus School for Girls on May 24 in a Division II South/Central Region semifinal. The winner advanced to a regional final Thursday, May 26, at Columbus Academy or Cincinnati Summit Country Day. The regional champion advances to a state semifinal June 3. The Hawks opened the postseason with a 14-10 victory over Bexley on May 19 that improved their record to 14-2. Emily Sweeney scored six goals and Emily Strapp added five. Hartley also beat the Lions 16-11 on May 5. Defender Mae Livingston was another standout against Bexley, according to coach Molly Gilbert. “We stuck through to the end,” Gilbert said. “We didn’t let down when

we were tired. Mae Livingston had the game of her life. She doesn’t let anybody get by her. We played team ball and stuck through it in the rain.” Hartley beat CSG 10-9 on March 31, marking what Gilbert believes was the first victory over the Unicorns in program history. If the Hawks again defeated the Unicorns, they could get another shot at an Academy team that they lost to 127 on April 5. •The third-seeded baseball team’s season ended with a 5-1 loss to Big Walnut on May 20 in a Division II district semifinal at Worthington Kilbourne. The Hawks trailed 2-1 when the game was suspended in the fourth inning May 19 at Hamilton Township. After play resumed the next day at the new site, the Golden Eagles scored three runs off senior Caleb Parker. Senior Austin Underwood struck out six on the first day of play but took the loss. Sophomore Luke Heinmiller scored on a single by Underwood in the first inning for Hartley’s only run. “I think we just had too many mis-

•The softball team will lose a pair of three-year starters in Emma Caputo (1B) and Hannah Chalfant (OF) but should return the remainder of its roster. The Hawks, who went 10-16 overall a year ago, finished with a 12-10 record that included a 10-game winning streak to start the season. Hartley earned the fifth seed for the Division II district tournament and rallied from a five-run deficit with two outs in the seventh inning to beat seventh-seeded Jonathan Alder 13-12 on May 11 in a second-round game. The Hawks then lost to sixth-seeded Olentangy 8-7 in a district semifinal May 16 at Pickerington North. Among those eligible to return are junior Erin Collins (C), sophomores Tiffany Wolf (P), Anna Kirk (INF) and Allie Smith (CF) and freshmen Sidney Melton (2B), Cassie Plageman (OF) and Nicole Weldon (OF). Hartley tied Ready for second at 33 in the CCL behind DeSales (6-0) and ahead of Watterson (1-5). “Our seniors led all of these little kids,” coach Meghan Rowlands said. “We should have a real strong core of players coming back.”

takes in this game,” coach Morgan Assmann said. “Big Walnut is a decent team and they hit the ball well. We started the game (May 19) in the rain, and I’ve never done that. The field at Kilbourne was basically under water, which is not conducive to good baseball.” The Hawks finished 14-10 overall. They opened the district tournament May 12 with a 6-1 second-round win over Sparta Highland. Hartley finished third at 4-4 in the CCL behind DeSales (7-1) and Watterson (5-3) and ahead of Ready (2-6) and St. Charles (2-6). The other seniors were starters Connor Callahan, Jack Imwalle, Alex Heinmiller, Kendall Johnson, Alex Lowe and Nick Owens, and backup Nathan Tentler. The Hawks will rebuild next season around Luke Heinmiller, who started at catcher and also pitched. “He’ll be the major guy coming back,” Assmann said. “It’s hard to part with all of the seniors because they knew my moves and I knew their moves. The biggest thing (for the new players next julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com year) will be the speed of the game.”

TRACK Continued from page B1 “Everybody that should have moved on did so,” coach Denny Hammond said. “Donyelle had her (personal-best) in the discus and we ran some of our best times of the year. Destinee and Faith had big days. I’ve never seen either of them run a bad race.” •The boys team finished third (69) of the 15 teams that scored in the district 2 meet at Bradley, behind Hilliard Davidson (109) and Watkins Memorial (70). Capturing titles were LaVonne Gauthney in the shot put (56-9), Tsehaye Hiluf in the 3,200 (9:33.08), Dominik Seitzer in the 1,600 (4:24.8) and the 3,200 relay of Hiruy Abraha, Hiluf, Peyton Radebaugh and Seitzer (8:06.26). Gauthney’s throw in the shot put was the farthest of any competitor in the three Division I district meets. Seitzer added a second-place finish in the 800 (1:58.61), Abraha was runner-up in the 3,200 (9:34.04) and Gauthney was fourth in the discus (136-7). Also scoring but failing to qualify for regional were Johnny Pace in the 200 (seventh, 24.14), Dionte Brown in the long jump (eighth, 20-0), the 400 relay (seventh, 44.63) and the 800 relay (sixth, 1:31.66). “The boys team missed second place by one point,” Hammond said. “Everybody stepped up. Dominik Seitzer won the mile and was second in the 800, and for a sophomore that’s pretty impressive. Hiruy ran his best twomile, Tsehaye had a great day and LaVonne Gauthney had a great day.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

what I will remember about this experience at Hartley.” Coach Richard Jones has been the architect for Hartley’s success. Pedersen said he deserves all the credit for what she and her teammates have achieved. “Coach Jones is Hartley. He has shaped every one of us into who we are as runners,” she said. “The mental attitude and the confident mindset we have is all due to him. He has made me a better runner and, more important, a better person.” Describing what it will take to win the Division II state title next week, Cavin said the Hawks can’t let down. “The thing that comes into to my mind first is that we need to turn into superheroes at the state meet,” she said. “We need to be proud of the ‘H’ that we wear on our uniforms and use the power we have to run well and capture our dreams.” The Hartley trio of “superheroes” and their supporting cast have two weekends left to prove their point.

will have a bit of sadness knowing this is the last time we will be together representing our school,” Cavin said. “So we need to make the most of it and I think we are ready for it, because other runners know who we are and it’s our job to get the best results.” Reflecting on their love for the sport and where it has taken them, the three Hawks standouts have slightly different views. “As a sprinter, track is really just about going out there and running as fast as you can and I love the thrill of it,” Calvin said. “There is a technical side and a mental side that are very important, but if you can keep your mind clear you can achieve many things.” “Track has opened my eyes to so many things and it makes you have strength inside and out,” Pedersen said. “Success comes from proving yourself and developing discipline in every aspect of the sport.

Reynoldsburg loses 10 seniors, including two of their top pitchers in Halen Core and Nick Analogue. Core went 3-3 and was named second-team allleague, and Analogue was 5-1. Other seniors were second baseman Mike Castro (.428 batting average, second-team allleague), center fielder J.C. Gibson (.530, 4 home runs, 39 RBI, OCC-Ohio co-Player of the Year), designated hitter Tommy Nobile (19-game hitting streak), third baseman Jon Sheline (.450, 4 home runs, 31 RBI, second-team all-league), left fielder Taylor Snare (.380, honorable mention all-league) and right fielder Drew Otani. Senior shortstop/pitcher Weston Weiss, a three-year starter and Youngstown State recruit, missed the entire season because of a shoulder injury. “I’ve been with these seniors since they were freshmen and there’s a lot of talent there,” Gravatt said. “I wish they could be back next year. It’s like a family here.” “We accomplished one of our goals (by reaching a district final), but we would have liked to go farther,” Gibson said. “It hurts because we are a family, we are all friends, we hang out together. I didn’t want to see it end. I guess it just wasn’t our time.” Among those expected to return are sophomore catcher Nick Hedrick, junior co-captain Jeff Murray (.400, 4 home runs, 26 RBI, second-team all-league),

Home sales

Financial finesse

Be prepared by getting pre-approved Despite countless stories about the troubles in the housing market, there are many options available. That said, the first step in determining whether or not to shop for that new home is to discuss your financial situation with a trusted mortgage professional and get pre-approved. A pre-approval is one of two common processes prospective homebuyers engage in before making an offer on a home; pre-qualification is the other. Both allow customers to begin the buying process with a good idea of what they can afford, but there are clear advantages to going one step beyond pre-qualification to get pre-approved. Pre-qualification uses a home-buyer’s financial information — income, debts and other monthly obligations, such as child support payments — to determine a buyer’s debt ratio. Depending on how much or how little is available for a down payment, this process helps to determine the size mortgage the buyer can afford and the type of mortgage that best meets the buyer’s needs. Pre-approval takes the approval process to the end — almost. Only a few items remain outstanding, such as an appraisal of the property and confirmation the buyer will have whatever cash is needed for the closing.

For a comparatively small fee — usually about $50 — lenders will work through the steps necessary to receive a mortgage. Buyers who get preapproved know exactly which financial guidelines they are working within. The pre-apBRIAN proved buyer has the lender’s approval for a specific mortBURSTEIN gage amount. Lenders and real estate agents sometimes say pre-approval is the “same as cash,” which can often be an advantage in beating out other buyers. Searching for the right home, arranging a comfortable mortgage and closing the deal can be a challenging process. So doing a little legwork up front by becoming pre-approved can make the other challenges a whole lot easier. Brian Burstein is an area sales manager with Fifth Third Bank Mortgage. He welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions. Please feel free to contact him at 614-932-5473 or Brian.Burstein@53.com.
