Severe weather

Warning comes during CodeRED talks By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Gahanna City Council experienced a practical application of the CodeRED system for weather alerts during a May 23 committee meeting, when severe weather threatened the city and notifications were delivered to two officials via their cell phones.

Just minutes before the notification, Mayor Becky Stinchcomb and emergency operations director James R. Williams were explaining the benefits of adding the automatic weather notification option and service that would allow Gahanna residents to receive warnings for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and winter storms on their cell and residential phones.

Council is considering a three-year contract with Emergency Communications Network, operating the CodeRED system, with the first year at a discounted rate of $3,750 and subsequent years at $7,500. Gahanna has used CodeRED for the past four years, but the current system involves the city manually putting out an alert that Gahanna records, said Brian

Hoyt, the city’s public information manager. Williams said the opt-in notification system would allow residents to receive notifications directly from the National Weather Service’s forecast office in Wilmington, near Cincinnati. Stinchcomb and Williams have been testing the weather notification option, and they both received alerts Monday

evening, before local media provided weather warnings to the public. With the nation already experiencing more than 1,000 confirmed tornadoes this year, Williams said, it’s not a question of if a tornado comes but when. “We’ve always said warning is key to notifying residents,” he said. “We See WARNING, page A4

Planning commission continues to scrutinize city’s fence code By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Gahanna Planning Commission had planned to hear advice from police and fire leaders prior to voting May 25 to change any part of the city’s fence code. At the request of city council, the commission has been reviewing section 1171.03(h) of the fence code, which prohibits privacy and/or chain-link fences in side and front yards. The commission and deputy development

director Leah Evans examined the fence codes of various cities during a May 18 workshop. Evans provided codes from Bexley, Dublin, Hilliard, Reynoldsburg, Upper Arlington, Westerville, Whitehall and Worthington. “Generally, no fences are allowed in front yards,” Evans said. “That’s standard. Some don’t define front yard the way we do. A lot of them can have a 6-foot fence in the back and side yard. There are some variations among them.” Commission chair Kristin Rosan said she recently drove through Bexley, where fenc-

ing is around entire properties. “Some were solid stucco and brick,” she said. Rosan requested examples of sideyard fence codes. Evans said Hilliard allows an ornamental or privacy fence in the side or rear yard if the fence isn’t within 10 feet to the right of way where the side or rear yard abuts a street or alley. Rosan asked if the development departSee FENCE, page A3

posed to a grade 38 as assistant city engineer. “This position will create far more efficiency and Kristen better comTreadway munication within the services department,” Treadway said. “In addition, this position will perform approximately 10 percent of the capital improvement-project inspections, which will result in an estimated savings of $19,000 per year currently paid out to inspectors.” Franey said tasks have been redistributed logically. “We did what made sense so everyone could handle what’s on their plates,” she said. Andrako said duties had been duplicated. “We’re rearranging duties so there’s more efficiency,” he said. Council will consider legislation to create the project administrator position, as well as a supplemental appropriation to fund it. Treadway said 75 percent of the funding for the position would come from the stormwater, water and sewer funds (25 percent each), resulting in a total savings to the general fund of $36,675 for the remainder of 2011. “This amount is in addition to the annual savings of $9,873,” she said.

Gahanna is planning a departmental reorganization that would save almost $10,000 following the resignation of service director Terry Emery. Human resources director Kristen Treadway told council May 23 that a lot of time is spent evaluating personnel when an opening becomes available. “We look to see if there’s a better way to do business,” she said. Former deputy service director Dottie Franey has been promoted to service director, and she and Mayor Becky Stinchcomb have chosen assistant city engineer Mike Andrako as the new deputy director of public service. As a result, Treadway said, the administration has determined not to fill the assistantcity-engineer position and instead move the extensive construction project management duties to a project administrator, who would report to the deputy director of public services. “In essence, the current city engineer would perform all design, funding source and consultation of projects, and the new project administrator would take over all communication, coordination and inspection of the projects after ‘the shovels hit the ground,’” Treadway said. She said the change would result in a savings of $9,873 because of the project administra- mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com tor being paid a grade 36, as op- www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Coordinator of Wounded Warrior MEMORIAL Project will speak at service Continued from page A1

By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

“Honor, Respect and Remember America’s Warriors” is the theme of Memorial Day services set for 1 p.m. Monday, May 30, at Gahanna Veterans Memorial Park, 75 W. Johnstown Road. Bob Fickle, memorial committee member, said 24 bricks would be dedicated to memorialize loved ones. The ceremony will begin with a welcome from Mayor Becky Stinchcomb, followed by a presentation of colors from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4719 and the American Legion Post 797. Stefanie French, of Ohio State University, will sing the national anthem, followed by the pledge of allegiance from Boy Scout Troop 781 of Gahanna. An invocation will be provided by Herb Docken, Gahanna Lions Club chaplain. Stinchcomb will present the

dedication of bricks, followed by a moment of silence. A memorial wreath will be placed by SPC4 R. Duane Fickle II, who served in the U.S. Army. Retired Army Staff Sgt. Joe Gross will provide the main Memorial Day address. Gross lost the lower part of his right leg after a suicide bomber struck in Iraq five years ago. He applied his own tourniquet and returned fire to protect the comrades who pulled him to safety, earning the Bronze Star. He has since become an advocate for those who have experienced life-altering injuries during combat. After arriving at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, a member of the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) visited Gross, and it was then that he realized he could live a full life despite the loss of a limb. Gross is the Ohio and Michigan coordinator of the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit organization formed to honor and

empower wounded warriors. He talks to vets who have sustained serious injuries and puts them in touch with staff of WWP to help them through the aftermath, from emotional support and peer mentoring to benefits counseling and rehabilitation. Following Gross’ address, Docken will lead the benediction, and a 21-Gun Salute will be given by the VFW and American Legion. Capital University music majors Kyle Granville and Tristan Conover will play “Taps”, followed by High Point Elementary School fifth-grader Nicholas Bosco’performance of “Amazing Grace.” Stinchcomb will conclude the services. Over the past decade, the veterans memorial committee has dedicated more than 3,000 pavers that have been purchased to honor loved ones who have served in various wars.

An invocation will be offered by Deacon Robert Killoren, of New Albany’s Church of the Resurrection. The New Albany High School band, directed by Darren Falk, will play “America the Beautiful,” and Deacon Killoren will provide a Memorial Day address. Services will follow at Blacklick’s Jefferson Cemetery at 10:45 a.m., when an invocation will be provided by the Rev. David Allison of Havens Corners Church. Gahanna Lincoln High School’s band, directed by Rob Cebriak, will perform “America the Beautiful,” followed by a Memorial Day address by Allison. An assembly on the Creekside bridge will follow Blacklick’s service beginning at 11:30 a.m., with the VFW and American Legion. Tri-Community Post Cmdr. Jeff Szabo will conduct a wreath ceremony. “We lay a wreath on the water for our comrades who died at sea,” Steinhausser said. “It’s to give recognition to them that they will never be forgotten, as well as those veterans buried in cemeteries around the world.” The laying of the wreath will be followed by a prayer from Lundy. Gahanna Lincoln’s band will play “America the Beautiful,” followed by a march to Mifflin Ceme-

tery. Gahanna Mayor Becky Stinchcomb will begin ceremonies in Mifflin, followed by Tri-Post Community Chaplain Jim Thompson with an invocation. Gahanna Lincoln’s band will perform, and the Rev. Andrew Hoover, of East Columbus Christian Church, will offer the Memorial Day address. Memorial Day services will conclude with the Gahanna veterans memorial committee hosting a Memorial Day observance at 1 p.m. in Gahanna Veterans Memorial Park, 75 W. Johnstown Road. The ceremony will include a dedication of memorial bricks and participation by VFW Post 4719 and American Legion Post 797 (see related story). World War II veterans are invited to a special brunch following the Memorial Day services at the VFW Post, 75 W. Johnstown Road, beginning at 3 p.m. “We ask any WWII vet of Gahanna to join us for a little session at the post,” Steinhausser said. “It will be a brunch and get-together. It’s just something special we might do for other vets, starting with WWII this year.” Veterans who plan to attend should call Jerry Kerr (614) 475-9111. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

ment has a rationale for allowing a privacy fence only in the rear yard and not the side yard. Evans said reasons include maintaining openness for the presentation of property, as well as visibility to monitor private property. “It’s to protect the openness of the community … protect the natural environment of what people may want to see,” she said. Evans said Gahanna residents have the option of requesting variances to the current fence code. “I agree we don’t a have a big problem,” Rosan said. “But maybe we can make it better. It may not be a problem or people may not be speaking up about it.” Commission member Jennifer Price said she remembers public safety being an issue concerning the visibility into yards. She cited an example of calling police, who had used a spotlight to look into yards when her neighborhood was

has turned into such a huge thing. We’re incredibly proud of his commitment to help make his community a better place for all.” Baker spent $150 of his own allowance to print fliers and other materials to advertise the clothing drive. “I help at home for an allowance, and during the summer, I pet-sit and clean people’s garages,” he said. He posted 3,500 fliers through four elementary schools, Gahanna Middle School East, Stonybrook, St. Luke’s preschools, All Saints Church, Temple Beth Shalom and his Boy Scout troop. Baker also placed donation bins on loan from the city of Gahanna in several locations throughout Gahanna. The Kroger Co. donated cardboard boxes for sorting the clothing by size and gender. Sam said many of his friends would volunteer on Saturday to help unload cars and sort clothing. Anyone who drops off clothing will be entered into a drawing to win gift cards Baker has

purchased. In addition, many businesses donated, including Rotelli’s Pizza, CiCi’s Pizza, Cold Stone Creamery, Smoothie King, Johnny Buccelli’s, Raising Cane’s and Rita’s Italian Ice. Anyone who can’t drop off clothing on Saturday may contact Baker for pickup at (614) 855-2699. Sharon Blunt, manager of Stonybrook’s Free Store, said the church had seen a need and opened the store in 2008. “It’s open to anyone who needs help,” she said. “If they’re getting free clothing, they could use the money they would use to buy clothing for rent or food.” She said the store especially needs children’s and baby’s clothing. “I’ve had children volunteer before, but this is the first time a young man has taken it upon himself to get the donations,” she said. “It’s very good.” The Free Store is open from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturdays. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www/ThisWeekNEWS.com

By MARLA K. KUHLMAN Gahanna 12-year-old Sam Baker has initiated a “Clean Your Closet Campaign” to benefit local residents who might need gently used clothing. Baker told ThisWeek his decision to collect clothing was part of a community-service project for his bar mitzvah in August. “For the bar mitzvah, you’re supposed to have some sort of service project with 25 hours of work,” he said. “I was thinking about how there’s a lot of people in the world who don’t have what they need. Then I realized there are people in the community who don’t have what they need. I thought it would be neat to help in my neighborhood.” The Gahanna Middle School East sixth-grader is collecting new and gently used clothing, from infant to size 20. Clothing may be dropped off at the Baker residence, 909 Taurus Ave., between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday, May 28. The clothing drive will benefit the Free Store at Stonybrook United Methodist Church, 385 Cherry Bottom Road, Gahanna. The Free Store provides gently used clothing for any residents in need. Over the past winter, the store donated 50 to 70 winter coats to assist families. “I’ve known about the clothing store since I attended High Point Elementary,” Baker said. “Around the holidays, we would collect gifts for the store.” A member of Stonybrook will pick up the clothing from Baker sometime over Memorial Day weekend. “Sam learned that they are always in desperate need of clothing for children, and he decided to help,” said Lori Baker, Sam’s mother. “We’re excited his idea

experiencing thefts from vehicles. Commission member Joe Keehner said the whole issue is problematic because it involves private property, yet guidelines are needed for aesthetics. Price said it’s an eyesore to see tall fences or various fence colors. “When it’s solid, it isn’t softened at all,” Price said. “Everyone has an idea of what’s aesthetically pleasing.” Commission member Bob Westwood said his main issue is the height, and the city has a height requirement of 42 inches for a reason. Brock and Kelly Robertson, who had requested that the fence code be reviewed, erected a 72inch-high fence. “I struggle with this because the property owner wants something specific, and it doesn’t work in the guidelines,” Price said. “This is someone who should seek a variance.” Rosan said the Robertson property is next to a park, so safety

concerns might qualify the property for a variance. “I’d like input on this from fire and police,” Westwood said. Rosan said the Robertsons noted that the fence code isn’t uniformly applied. Evans said code-enforcement officer Brian Reynolds covers 12.9 miles and logs 8,000-plus miles annually. “Fences are one of 20-some odd violations,” she said. “People call us or email us, or Brian witnesses (violations). There are so many things. Just like with police, some crimes don’t get caught. There’s no fool-proof way. We don’t think there’s rampant noncompliance going on.”

WARNING Continued from page A1 want residents in Gahanna to have every means possible to get the message.” Council member Tim Pack researched CodeRED, based in Ormond Beach, Fla., and discussed weather notification systems with local media. He learned the downside to a system like CodeRED is that residents could become complacent after a few notifications. “People get called once or twice; then it becomes a nuisance,” he said. “Is there a way to filter the calls?” Stinchcomb said that’s why it’s an opt-in service only, with residents selecting the warnings they want to receive. “If you want to register your home phone or cell, you can,” she said. “This is very personalized. This depends if we want to go to the next step (of service).” Pack said free systems for severe weather notifications from

Wilmington are available. “I agree, from a safety standpoint, that rapid communication is key to getting people to safe locations,” he said. “Given what I’ve been told about the decline in usage of home phones and given everything else out there that’s free, I’m not in favor of this if the only benefit is to call home.” Council president David Samuel said weather radios have become popular, with media helping residents program the devices at local Kroger stores. “What does the weather radio do?” he asked. Williams said weather radios provide alerts for weather watches, flash floods and “everything under the sun.” Those alerts, however, include the entire county. “The weather radio is in the home,” Williams said. “This way (with CodeRED), if you register with a cell phone, you’ll know a weather alert has been issued. … If you’re in Cleveland and

your phone is registered for Gahanna, you’ll get the call.” If council approves the proposed contract, the service would begin July 1 and continue until June 30, 2012, when the contract could be renewed. If the city decides to discontinue the contract, a 30-day notice would be required for cancellation at the end of the first contact year. “The calls are real, and they’re made 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” Williams said. “As soon as the National Weather Service declares a severe storm, you get the call.” Jefferson Township recently implemented the service for its residents, Williams said, and Gahanna residents would have the same opportunity. Gahanna residents would opt in to the service by accessing the city website for registration at www.gahanna.gov. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Commentary and opinion As it were

Memorial Day 1911: parades, services, decoration of graves It was a rainy Sunday in Columbus on the weekend before Memorial Day in 1911. But that did not stop a lot of people from “making an excursion” to the city. According to a local newspaper of ED the time, more than LENTZ 5,000 people arrived in the city by train and interurban railway from places as distant as Cleveland, Cincinnati and Parkersburg, W. Va. They came to see the sites, visit local amusement parks and shop in the stores of the capital city. Among the more popular sites were the Statehouse, the campus of Ohio State University and the institutions for the blind, the deaf, the mentally ill and the criminally penitent. This was, after all, the weekend before Memorial Day and one might assume that people were simply celebrating a long three-day weekend. But that is not what they were doing at all. In 1911, Memorial Day was celebrated on May 30 — no matter what day of the week it might happen to be. In 1911, it happened to be Tuesday, so most of these people seeking, as one reporter put it, “spots where cooling breezes ought to blow” or “places where inspiring liquors ought to flow” had a nice day in the capital city, boarded their trains and left central Ohio for a working day on Monday in their hometowns. While most people in Columbus went about their business on Monday, May 29, several dozen others were working furiously to prepare for the holiday that was only one day away. And there was a lot of work to do. Local veterans and civic organizations combined with social service organizations to plan and prepare a full day of activities for Memorial Day. It was begun as a day to remember the men who died serving their country in the Civil War, but it also had become increasingly a time to remember veterans of all of America’s wars and a Decoration Day for family plots in America’s cemeteries, as well. While there were parades to plan and religious services to prepare, most of the real work of Memorial Day involved flowers — lots and lots of flowers. In 1911, the organizers of Memorial Day planned to put an American flag and a bouquet of flowers on the grave of every veteran in the city. To that end, the school children of Columbus were asked to bring bouquets of flowers to the Franklin County Memorial Hall on Monday, May 29. Because there was some doubt, the public was asked to bring flowers, as well. There was no reason to worry. By Tuesday morning, there were

Franklin County Memorial Hall, 280 E. Broad St., in 1908.

more than enough flowers to accompany the 2,500 American flags to be placed in cemeteries around the city: “Carnations, roses, peonies and syringa blossoms were the most numerous in the collection.” At 7:30 a.m. on the morning of Memorial Day, veterans groups met at Memorial Hall in uniform, marched a few blocks to Statehouse Square and boarded streetcars to ride to Green Lawn and Mount Calvary cemeteries. They were soon followed by hundreds of people who joined them at the cemeteries for services. At 9 a.m., flowers were placed at the McKinley Memorial in front of the Statehouse and at 11 a.m., a 46-gun artillery salute was fired in the Statehouse yard by local soldiers from the Columbus Barracks (now Fort Hayes). At 1 p.m., local veterans groups, military organizations, marching bands and most of the Columbus Police Department formed up for a march through downtown Columbus. Returning to Memorial Hall, many of the marchers stayed to listen to a program of music and patriotic speeches. Religious services also were held in a number of local churches through the day. Many people did not stay downtown for all of these events. Some had left town early in the day, since most businesses, schools and offices were closed and the excursion cars to Buckeye Lake, Griggs Dam and local amusement parks were running

early and often. And then there were some people who were not free to attend these events. As one paper put it, “Because it is Memorial Day, and in appreciation of things they have done and may do for their country, prisoners at the Workhouse who are Civil War or Spanish-American War veterans, or members of the regular army or national guard, at noon today will be served with a special dinner. “Although the services for the Civil and Spanish war veterans at the Penitentiary Sunday were attended by 98 former soldiers, but three of them served in the Civil War and 95 during the Spanish-American War … The number of Civil War veterans has greatly decreased during the past 10 years, by deaths and pardons. The 98 men have organized Walled City Camp and hold meetings just as the old soldiers do at Memorial Hall.” Other people attended all or part of the downtown observances and then departed for family gatherings in local parks or on the front porches of their homes. In the evening, the residents of many Columbus neighborhoods gathered for a fireworks celebration and further festivities. All in all, it was a quite pleasant day for the unofficial beginning of the summer of 1911 in Columbus. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Herb Day 2011

Event offers plants with dash of education By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Sunny skies helped attract a constant crowd to Gahanna’s Herb Day on May 21 at Creekside Park & Plaza and the Ohio Herb Education Center. Gahanna resident Rhoda Ryan attended the annual celebration for the first time to purchase plants. “I like to support the local economy,” she said. “I thought they would have a good variety. I’m buying more than I planned.” Ryan said she traditionally grows lettuce, basil, dill and jalapeño peppers for her Tex-Mex recipes. Debi Balog, a four-year OHEC volunteer, provided tips and answered questions from shoppers who were perusing the large variety of plants, including catnip, leeks, sage, sweet basil, oregano and mint. “Everything is from my own observation and gardening over multiple years,” Balog said. “I have a garden with about 20 herbs. I usually try something new every year to acquaint myself.” She said popular herbs pur-

chased by shoppers over the weekend included rosemary and basil. “We’ve also had lots of inquiry about garlic,” Balog said. Rosemary, used in marinades for meats and vegetables, is the official herb of Gahanna. The small shrublike plant is symbolic of friendship and remembrance. Balog said herb enthusiasts make their plant selections based on their cooking styles. She said the common chives plant is a “nofail plant.” “It’s a hardy perennial,” Balog said. “It freezes well. It can also be dried but would lose its color.” She said herbs are versatile. “I strongly recommend interplanting,” Balog said. “Chives and parsley make good borders.” Wendy Winkler, OHEC education coordinator, led a class called “Herb Education 101.” A handout noted that an herb is a plant lacking a permanent woody stem, and herbs are used for culinary, medicinal, aromatherapy, cleansing and ornamental purposes. In recognizing horseradish as the herb of the year, Winkler passed around the strong-scented plant.

“We made horseradish ice cream,” she said. “Next year’s herb is rose, so that’s a little more user friendly.” A student in her class sought tips about the commercial sale of herbs, as he doesn’t have his own garden. “Your smaller store will be fresher because there’s more turnaround,” she said. “People who sell directly from a distributor are generally fresher than a big store because of the time lapse.” Marysville resident Brenda Wisse sold herbs in various containers, as well as gourmet herb jellies like red rubin basil and spearmint. “I worked in an office for 30 years, and then I retired to do what I really wanted,” she said. “That’s why my business is called ‘It’s My Thyme!’ It’s my time to do what I love.”

At city-owned buildings, a desk-side recycling program diverted more than 75 tons from the landfill. The Gahanna Department of Parks & Recreation also recycles nine tons of solid waste annually and is committed to buying recycled content products like benches and tables. The city also has an advanced metering infrastructure that automatically reads water meters, taking one vehicle off the street and detecting leaks in near real time.

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; prequalification 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 homebuyer’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 mortBRIAN gage the buyer can afBURSTEIN ford 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 pre-approved

know exactly which financial guidelines they are working within. The pre-approved buyer has the lender’s approval for a specific mortgage 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.

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.

Gahanna wins third district title in four years By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With the Division I district championship ceremony about to begin May 21 at Dublin Jerome, a fan of the Gahanna Lincoln High School baseball team joked with coach Mike Shade that the fans would “let it slide this time” that the Lions had won “only” three district titles during the current group of seniors’ four seasons. Opponents probably wouldn’t have found that to be funny, especially given how seniors Shane DeFranco, Vinny Galiardi, Drew Kessler, Jarrod Moss, Taylor Neville and Joey Tomko helped lead the way for another district tournament run. The Lions defeated 10th-seeded Watkins Memorial 3-1 in a district

semifinal May 18 at Hilliard Davidson behind a standout pitching performance from Galiardi and then used strong pitching and small ball to beat second-seeded Dublin Coffman 5-1 in a district final. Gahanna will play Westerville Central in a regional semifinal at 2 p.m. Thursday, May 26, at Coffman. The winner plays Grove City or West Chester Lakota West in a regional final at 5 p.m. Friday, May 27, at Coffman. The regional champion advances to a state semifinal June 2 at Huntington Park. The state final is June 4 at the same site. “This senior class is something special,” Shade said. “We have at least 90 wins over the last four years. This one felt good.” The district final also offered an

opportunity for a talented young player to shine. Sophomore Alec Tuohy got the start on the mound in part because of a strong pitching performance in a 5-3 win over New Albany on May 14. He pitched like a seasoned veteran against the Shamrocks, striking out six, including the first two batters of the seventh inning looking, and allowed just three hits. “After (Tuohy) got through the (fifth) inning when they got the bases loaded, he did really well,” Shade said. “He’s a sophomore and had a lot of adrenaline and was able to make the pitches with guys in scoring position. He threw very well, and we knew they have a lot of righthanded hitters.” See BASEBALL, page C4

Shivener advances to state for Lions

Early offense propels Lions into regional

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

For senior Jesse Shivener of the Gahanna Lincoln High School boys tennis team, the wait is over. Shivener placed third in singles in the Division I district tournament May 20-21 at Hilliard Davidson, losing to Dublin Coffman’s Hiromi Nakayama 7-6, 63 in a semifinal and winning by default over New Albany’s Steve Miller in the consolation final, to advance to the state tournament for the first time. The top four finishers in singles and doubles at district advanced to state, which will be held Friday, May 27, and Saturday, May 28, at Davidson. “I still don’t believe it,” Shivener said. “I don’t have words for it. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.” “I’m so happy for Jesse,” coach Chris Schwinnen said. “It has really been a goal of his for the past three years, but he ran into Arren Carter (2010 Olentangy Liberty graduate who was a four-time state qualifier) two out of the last three years at the district tournament. For him, the weight is finally off his shoulders.” Shivener, who improved to 273 with the win over Miller, is the Lions’ first state qualifier since David Koppel in 2005. Koppel lost to Parma’s Phil Oernoe 6-0, 6-0 in the first round at state. Shivener opened district play with a 6-2, 6-0 win over St. Charles’Dennis Gleason. He then beat Upper Arlington’s Jeff Melvin 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 in a quarterfinal to secure a state berth. “I was definitely nervous,” Shivener said of the match against Melvin. “That was some of the best tennis I’ve seen Jeff play. I’d hit a good shot and he’d hit a winner off it. He wasn’t giving me anything. “Last year, I went into that (quarterfinal) match with Arren as the underdog. No one expected me to win. When I lost, it was more acceptable, I guess. (In the match against Melvin), I was the favorite. It’s a lot more exciting

During a rough stretch before the Division I district tournament, Gahanna Lincoln High School softball coach Jim Campolo never questioned his team’s effort or desire to defend its district championship. He got further proof of their commitment to winning when all of his key players attended an optional hitting drill at 7 a.m. May 21 on the morning of a district title game against eighth-seeded Delaware. The second-seeded Lions looked ready from the onset of the game offensively, building a sixrun lead on the way to a 7-6 win at Pickerington Central that sent them to the regional tournament for the fifth time since 2003. During a 10-0, five-inning win over Upper Arlington in a district semifinal that began May 19 and was completed May 20 at Pickerington North, Gahanna got two runs in the first inning and three in the second. “Our kids haven’t quit,” Campolo said. “We jumped out on Arlington and came out and jumped on (Delaware). They prepared and they were ready. If someone’s going to the regional, they usually have to go through us to get there.” Gahanna, which improved to 17-10 with the win over Delaware, played Copley or Wadsworth in

a regional semifinal May 25 at Ohio State. The winner plays Central Crossing, the top seed in the district, or Teays Valley in a regional final at noon Saturday, May 28, at Ohio State. The regional champion advances to a state semifinal June 3 at Akron Firestone. The state final is June 4 at the same site. Central Crossing edged Dresden Tri-Valley 2-1 in a district final on May 21 to earn its first district championship and improve to 242. Allissa Turkovich hit a solo home run in the fifth inning in support of pitcher Savannah Dorsey. Seeded 10th in the district, Teays Valley beat OCC-Ohio Division champion Groveport 2-0 in a district final to improve to 21-6. Cammi Prantl drove in the winning run off Emma Johnson in the 10th inning in support of pitcher Kristin Gill. Groveport was the third seed. “Getting to play at Ohio State for a lot of these girls is a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity,” Campolo said. Senior pitcher Brandis Fishel was at the center of the action in the district final. The Lions took advantage of a pair of errors by Delaware and got a bloop single to right field for an RBI by Fishel on the way to building a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Then in the second, Montana Fishel and Tanya Busby scored See SOFTBALL, page C5

Gahanna falls win short of state tourney By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Despite falling one victory shy of its goal, coach Mike Sage believes the Gahanna Lincoln High School boys volleyball team got all it could out of the season. “I’m definitely not disappointed in the boys and the season they brought us,” he said following a 25-17, 25-18, 21-25, 2518 loss to Hilliard Darby in a Division I See TENNIS, page C2 East Region final on May 21 at home.

“They had a good team. It just wasn’t meant to be.” The Lions, who were bidding to advance to the state tournament for the first time since 1991, finished 18-8 overall. They went 7-3 to place second in the OCC-Capital Division behind Mount Vernon (10-0) and ahead of Pickerington North (6-4), Hilliard Bradley (5-5), Delaware (2-8) and Pickerington Central (0-10). The Yellow Jackets, who repeated as league champions, lost to Hilliard David-

Lance Wiles, a 6-foot-8 senior middle blocker, was named the OCC-Capital’s Player of the Year.

Track & Field

Lions girls qualify large contingent to regional By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Just as Gahanna Lincoln High School girls track and field coach Roger Whittaker expected, his team didn’t come close to winning a second consecutive district championship when it competed in the Division I, district 1 meet that concluded May 21 at Hilliard Bradley. But after the Lions scored 67 points to place fourth in the 14-team meet behind Dublin Coffman (152), Big Walnut (79) and Olentangy (77.5), Whittaker said he was thrilled that all four of his relays, along with three individuals, placed in the top four to qualify for the regional meet, which began May 25 and concludes Friday, May 27, at Pickerington North. “It’s nice to win a district title and I’m not downplaying the significance of it,” Whittaker said. “But I’d rather get kids through who have a shot at doing well at regional and state than win a district and then not do as well down the road. I’m really happy with how we competed at district because some

of the kids we got through have the potential to keep doing well the next two meets.” Dominae Gaston, Daniella Johnson, Mieshia Parker and Lynnsey Brim combined to win both the 400-meter relay (49.27 seconds) and 800 relay (1:42.78). Taylor Poches ran in place of Brim in the preliminaries of both relays to help Brim, who has been dealing with the effects of a turf toe injury. “I’m pretty happy with the time our 800 relay ran, and our 400 relay didn’t have crisp passes but still won,” Whittaker said. “Taylor deserves a lot of the credit for those relays’ success, because she was the anchor runner in the preliminaries to help them get that far and to give Lynnsey the rest she needed.” Brim also won the long jump (17 feet, 4 1/2 inches) in only four attempts after it was determined that the runner-up, Big Walnut’s Olivia Small (171/2), was unlikely to surpass her best jump. “Lynnsey has a very irritating toe injury, but she’s used to it at this point and she knows how to deal with the

Also departing are seniors Riley Bolte and Parker McComb. “We played an eight-man lineup for the most part,” Sage said. “We’ll have half of those guys back, but we’re losing three key seniors, and that’s going to be a major loss. And our other two seniors (Bolte and McComb), they were coaches players and made a real commitment to the team as well.” The Lions won eight consecutive regular-season matches following a 3-5 start. They also put together a five-match winning streak, which included postseason victories over Westerville Central (25-21, 25-18, 21-25, 2521 on May 14) and Westerville North (25-21, 26-28, 25-22, 2521 on May 18), before falling to Darby.

I think he has a good chance to move on (to state). He just needs to stay consistent.” Junior Jason McDonald placed fourth in the 3,200 (9:51.8) to qualify for regional for the first time. “This wasn’t that hard of a district, but I was nervous because the fifthplace guy (Davidson’s Anthony Caviolo, who finished in 9:55.58) was right behind me during the last lap,” McDonald said. “The (80-degree) heat definitely took a toll on me. I don’t usually run well in warm temperatures. Now, my goal is to score at regional.”

In its first year playing a full varsity schedule, the Gahanna Lincoln High School girls club lacrosse team already has secured a winning record as well as its first Club Division tournament victory. Perhaps just as impressive to first-year coach Brooke Eisenacher is how the Lions have started to execute plays. During its 17-13 openinground tournament win over Beachwood on May 21, Gahanna got five goals from sophomore Anna Tarbutton and four from junior Alyssa Rapelje but also had six others score at least one goal. The victory advanced the Lions to a regional final on Friday, May 27, at top-seeded North Canton. The regional champion advances to a state semifinal on June 3. The state final is June 4. North Canton beat Granville 12-6 in a regional semifinal May 21 to improve to 8-3. The Lions won three of their final five regular-season games, beating Westerville North 1211 on May 2, Westerville Central 18-12 on May 5 and Big Walnut 18-12 on May 16, and losing to Pickerington North 127 on May 9 and Watterson 138 on May 19.

Boys track team wins district championship By FRANK DiRENNA

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Columbus Academy boys track and field team appears to have set itself up for a strong showing in the Division III regional meet by winning the district championship May 21 at Gahanna. The Vikings scored 83.5 points at district to finish first of 21 teams ahead of runner-up Berne Union (67). “I thought if we ran our races and ran them well and we ran them right, we could score a lot of points,” coach Bob Kirk said. The top four finishers in each district event qualified for the regional meet, which began May 25 and concludes Friday, May 27, at Fairfield Union. The top four in each event at regional advance to the state meet June 3-4 at Ohio State. Dominic Facciolla, Jon Michael Hilsheimer, John Sutton and Jake Tuckerman opened district by winning the 3,200-meter relay in 8 minutes, 7.21 seconds. Also finishing first were Hilsheimer in the 800 (1:58.58), Jack Lint in the 300 hurdles (40.72) and Tyler Gittins, Hilsheimer, Ben Meacham and Sutton in the 1,600 relay (3:32.16). Last season, Hilsheimer was a member of the 1,600 relay that finished first at state in 3:18.65, breaking the 16-year-old state record of 3:21.08. The girls team finished third (62) of 26 teams in the Division III district meet behind Grandview (100.5) and Mount Gilead (69). Sarah Timko led the Vikings, finishing second in the high jump (5 feet) and teaming with Aziza Corbett, An-

Corbett, Melanie Knopp, Mampieri and Jillian Woodard were second in the 800 relay (1:50.21). “I couldn’t be more pleased or proud of these young women,” coach Dani Sparks said. “The weather was warmer than it has been all season and the girls went out and performed.” •Junior Langston Hughes is making a return trip to the Division II state boys tennis tournament, which will be held Friday, May 27, and Saturday, May 28, at Hilliard Davidson.

BOYS TENNIS May 20, 21 — Competed in Division II district tournament at home. Langston Hughes and Chris Perrini finished first in doubles and will play in the state tournament May 27-28 at Hilliard Davidson. TRACK & FIELD Below are the regional qualifiers with district event, place and time/distance/height: BOYS — Dominic Facciolla: 1,600 (third, 4:27.92), 3,200 (third, 10:33.33); Tyler Gittins: 300 hurdles (third, 40.97); Jon Michael Hilsheimer: 800 (first, 1:58.58), 1,600 (fourth, 4:30.85); Jack Lint: 300 hurdles (first, 40.72), long jump (fourth, 19-6); John Sutton: 800 (second, 1:59.46); 1,600 relay: Gittins, Hilsheimer, Ben Meacham and Sutton (first, 3:32.16); 3,200 relay: Facciolla, Hilsheimer, Sutton and Jake Tuckerman (first, 8:07.21) GIRLS — Dina Sinno: 1,600 (third, 5:29.02), 3,200 (fourth, 12:22.38); Sarah Timko: high jump (second, 5-0); 800 relay: Aziza Corbett, Melanie Knopp, Annie Mampieri and Jillian Woodard (second, 1:50.21); 1,600 relay: Corbett, Anjali Kanwar, Mampieri and Timko (second, 4:14.59); 3,200 relay: Alisha Ho, Sarah Lazarus, Sinno and Margaret Sutton (fourth, 10:25.48)

Hughes will team with junior Chris Perrini to play doubles at state after the duo won the district title May 21 at home. Hughes and Perrini won their first two matches in straight sets and then rallied to beat DeSales’John Acomb and Paul Rosile in the final 6-7, 7-5, 6-3. “I thought that was the one that had our best shot (of qualifying for state),” coach Jeff Warstler said of Hughes and Perrini. “I don’t know if I would have guaranteed a district championship. I was happy to see that happen, but going into state as a (No.) 1 seed, you give yourself some oppor-

tunities to get a decent draw. They have a chance to make some noise. They’re going to have to play well.” Last season, Hughes and 2010 graduate Eoghan Bahnson lost to teammates Chad Buchanan and Andrew Ensler 6-3, 6-4 in the state final. Ensler graduated and Buchanan transferred to Lexington. Also at district, the doubles team of Dan Leathery and Abram Schottenstein lost in the second round and Sean Firouzian lost in the first round in singles. •The baseball team ended its season with a 7-4 loss to third-seeded Bloom-Carroll in a Division III district final on May 21 at Dublin Coffman. The Vikings finished 15-8 overall and 9-5 in the MSL-Ohio Division. Seeded seventh, Academy reached a district final by beating second-seeded Fredericktown 8-7 in a semifinal on May 20 and Caledonia River Valley 6-5 in the second round on May 12 after having a first-round bye. Against Fredericktown, the Vikings fell behind 3-0 in the first inning before the game was suspended because of rain May 19 at Delaware. The game resumed the next day at Olentangy, and Academy rallied, scoring five runs in the fourth inning and two more in the fifth. Junior James Frye’s two-run home run in the fourth highlighted the rally. Against Bloom-Carroll, Academy again rallied, erasing a 2-0 deficit with three runs in the fourth. The Bulldogs, however, reclaimed the lead with two runs in the fifth. Nick Sergakis homered for the Vikings in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game at 4, but Bloom-Carroll took the lead for good with three runs in the sixth.

Despite playing most of the season with a shoulder injury, Sergakis had a team-high .500 batting average and was named MSL-Ohio Player of the Year and district Player of the Year. A Coastal Carolina recruit, Sergakis also led the team in home runs with five and had 22 RBI. The shoulder injury limited his contributions on the mound, as he was 2-2 with a 0.95 ERA, with 33 strikeouts and 11 walks. “Nick Sergakis played hurt,” coach Jim Collis said. “We go as he goes. He’s a legitimate baseball player.” Senior Kennedy Clark batted .472, followed by junior Zach Ratcliff (.395), Frye (.378), junior Stephen Casey (.314), senior Joey Vara (.309) and freshman Lee Solomon (.305). Vara led the team in RBI with 26. On the mound, Casey was 5-1 with a 4.27 ERA, 18 strikeouts and 25 walks. Clark was first-team all-league and all-district and Ratcliff was secondteam all-league and all-district. Casey and Vara were honorable mention allleague. Senior Jon Dillon, considered the Vikings’ second-best pitcher behind Sergakis, missed most of the season with an elbow injury. “Losing our No. 1 and 2 to get to where we got was pretty rewarding for the kids,” Collis said. Academy tied Granville for third in the league, behind Newark Catholic (12-2) and Heath (10-4) and ahead of Bexley (7-7), Lakewood (4-10), Whitehall (3-11) and Licking Valley (2-12).

Cincinnati Western Hills. The Firebirds won the 2007 state championship and captured district titles in 2008 and ’09. Before rain wreaked havoc on the district tournament schedule May 18-20, the Lions scored one run in the second inning and two in the fourth in support of Galiardi to beat Watkins Memorial. Dakota Cararo had an RBI single and Jarrod Moss had an RBI double. In the district final, Jake Moss scored on a groundout by Cole Greisinger to make it 1-0 in the second. Cararo singled, moved to second on a groundout and went to third on a passed ball before scoring on a single by Jarrod Moss in the third. Holding a 2-1 lead in the sixth, Gahanna scored three runs with

two out. Neville began the rally by reaching first on a passed ball after striking out. The Lions scored one run on a walk, one on a groundout and another on a passed ball. The victory represented a form of retribution for last season, when the Lions lost in a district semifinal after making back-to-back district-title runs. “Last year was kind of a bitter feeling,” Neville said. “We want to go all the way to Huntington Park. The small ball kind of got us a little spark. It’s going to be a good game (against Westerville Central). They’ve got a really good hitting team, but we can shut them down.”

BASEBALL Tuohy said it was “kind of a shock” when he was told late last week that he’d be starting the district final. “My fastball was the biggest pitch I had all day,” he said. “After I got out of the inning where they had the bases loaded, I stayed out of my head. It’s awesome to be with these seniors who have been playing all four years. I’m definitely trying to do it for them.” The Lions, who improved to 24-6 with the win over Coffman, hope the starting duo of Galiardi and Tuohy can lead them to the state tournament. Junior Nick Van Keuren, who was the team’s No. 2 pitcher for most of the regular season, and Neville are others who could be called on to pitch during the regional tournament. Westerville Central improved to 23-7 with a 12-7 win over Reynoldsburg on May 21 in a district final at Olentangy. Dan Lawrence went 2-for-3 with three RBI, Jake Simmerman hit a three-run homer and catcher Kyle Pollock — an Ohio State recruit — was 4-for-5 with four RBI. “Westerville Central is a very good baseball team,” Shade said. “They’ve won a bunch of ballgames and have an outstanding catcher.” If the Lions get by Westerville Central, they could get a rematch with Grove City in a regional final. The Greyhounds improved to 19-10 with a 5-2 victory over Worthington Kilbourne in a district final May 20 at Hilliard Davidson. Gahanna split with Grove City in OCC-Ohio Division play during the regular season, losing 5-2 on April 27 and winning the rematch 17-3 on May 7. Lakota West was 17-11 after beating Cincinnati Glen Este 51 in a district final May 21 at

SOFTBALL district final, has advanced to regional for the third time in four seasons. “We believed we could do it, and it feels good,” Brandis Fishel said. “I didn’t feel like I had much control. I feel awful when I hit people. The last couple innings I started setting up outside and the whole game was set up for those two outs (to end the game).” Gahanna committed no errors against UA or Delaware despite recently making changes on defense. Marshall, who has been played center field most of the last two seasons, was switched to third base for the tournament, with Morgan Sheets moving from third to left field and Montana Fishel moving from left to center. “It feels really good, especially with us losing seven seniors from last year,” shortstop Sarah Seidel said. “Our whole infield is new, but we have really good chemistry. (Marshall and I) have played together before and I have confidence in her to get the job done.”

Continued from page C1

on a two-run double to deep right by Brandis Fishel to make it 6-0. Delaware made it 6-1 in the third when Chandler Fields hit a solo home run to left-center off Brandis Fishel. Then in the fourth, Fishel hit the first two batters and allowed both to score as Delaware cut its deficit to 6-3. The Lions got their final run in the fourth. Busby reached on an infield slap hit and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Tiyona Marshall. Brandis Fishel then singled to center to drive in Busby for a 7-3 lead. Delaware made it 7-4 in the fifth when Cindy Bowman singled and scored on a triple to right by Makayla Cooper. After retiring the Pacers in order in the sixth, Brandis Fishel hit Kalene Schmidt to open the seventh and allowed an RBI double to Kaitlyn Woerner. Bowman grounded out, but Cooper doubled off the fence in right-center to cut it to 7-6. However, Brandis Fishel struck out the final two batters looking to end the game. julrey@thisweeknews.com Gahanna, which lost to Delaware 1-0 in a 2005 www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The School District has compiled a packet of materials in the form of a Request for Proposals (RFP) outlining further background information about the development opportunity and setting forth the specific requirements for timely and properly submitting a proposal for development of the site. The RFP package and the terms and conditions of the ground lease are available for review by prospective bidders in the Office of the Treasurer of the School District, Julio Valladares, at 160 S. Hamilton Road, Gahanna, Ohio 43230 (614-478-5534).

The City of Gahanna, Ohio, reserves the right to reject any and all bids, including any bids, which in the opinion of the Public Service Director, show evidence of unbalanced prices, and also to waive technical defects as the interest of the City may require.

Copies of the full RFP are available for review in the Office of the Treasurer of the School District, and a public preproposal meeting will be held to discuss the opportunity on June 2, 2011. Proposals must be in writing and must substantively respond to the questions and requests for information indicated in the RFP. Proposals will be opened and reviewed beginning August 4, 2011, which is also the due date by which bids must be submitted for consideration. Proposals must be consistent with the form of bid described herein (and more specifically outlined in the RFP) and must be submitted (by providing five separately bound copies of the submission) to: Gahanna-Jefferson City Schools, Attention: Julio Valladares, Treasurer, 160 S. Hamilton Road, Gahanna, Ohio 43230. Additional information concerning this opportunity may be found at https://ohm.filetransfers.net, and instructions for access to materials on the website may be obtained from Mr. Valladares, Treasurer.
