“First and foremost, the worst eyesore in the township will be removed,” Kennedy said. “The township will also see one of its busiest intersections improved.” The project includes not only the demolition of the Hometown Inn but aligning South Grener Avenue with Old Village Road, curb and gutter replacement, drainage improvements and side-

walks, Kennedy said. “Access from what will be old South Grener to West Broad Street — an area that has been the cause of many traffic accidents — will be removed,” Kennedy said.

South-Western school board on May 23 approved a five-year financial forecast prepared by treasurer Hugh Garside. Garside told the board because of the contract agreements, conservative planning and various actions by the state concerning state funding to schools, the May forecast is quite different from the one presented last October. The district expects to have a $51.8 million cash balance to begin fiscal year 2012 on July 1. In October, that balance was projected to be $43 million. The latest forecast also anticipates no deficit until fiscal year 2015, when the deficit will be $6.1 million. Total revenues for fiscal 2012 are expected to be about $208 million with total expenditures at about $200 million. Garside said employees’ salary and benefit concessions helped keep finances stable. Board member Karen Dover applauded Garside’s work as treasurer. “We are stable due to the advanced planning and conservative approach (to finances),” Dover said. Superintendent Bill Wise agreed that the financial situation for the district has improved. He cautioned, however, that because of the continuing recession and the uncertainty of state funding that “it really is a difficult time to forecast because of all the unknowns.” State law requires presenting preliminary forecasts each year in May with votes on a final forecast in October.

A three-year contract, approved May 23 by the South-Western City Schools Board of Education, gives about 950 classified workers in the district an agreement nearly identical to one approved by teachers in March. The pact provides for no base-pay raises the first year, a 0.5-percent increase for the second year and a 1-percent raise for the third year. Step pay increases, given mainly for years spent on the job, will remain. South-Western's 1,400 teachers and certified employees received the same base-pay increases in their three-year contract, as well as keeping step increases. Classified workers, including bus drivers, food-service employees and custodians, also will pay more for health and dental insurance. Those on single insurance coverage will pay 3 percent of the premium next school year and 10 percent the following year. Family coverage remains at 35 percent of the See SWCS OKS, page A3

Blue Star Mothers bond while children serve overseas By JAYME DETWEILER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Although frequent rains haven't made this spring a particularly crop-friendly season, farmers markets have already begun operating in some parts of Columbus and more will open soon. A meeting for organic farmers and gardeners and market growers for the Prairie Farmers Market will be held at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 4, at Wendy's Restaurant at 4328 W. Broad St., according to market manager Harley Yerkes. The market will be located at Home Depot, 100 S. Grener Ave., and will run July 2 through Sept. 24. For more information or an application form, call Yerkes at (614) 853-0278. Above, William Chen, shopping at the farmers market in Upper Arlington, makes rainbow tomatoes his choice for the day.

For some mothers, the somber meaning behind Memorial Day can be sobering. The thought of a brave son or daughter serving overseas, in hostile territory, can worry a mother sick, with fear that her child is alone and in harm’s way. When those thoughts become overwhelming, help is available from the Columbus chapter of the Blue Star Mothers of America.

Blue Star Mothers form bond while children serve overseas Continued from page A1 prising mothers who have or have had children serving in the U.S. military. The organization also promotes public awareness of military support efforts through fundraising and community events. The more than 50 women in the local group provide support to each other and to active-duty military personnel. Associate members could be fathers, aunts, uncles and other family members. In the past three years, the Columbus chapter has sent almost 4,000 packages overseas, according to Trina Dunlap, second vice president of the Ohio organization and 2008-10 president of the Columbus chapter. She also cofounded the chapter in 2007.

“There are so many over there that do not have anybody sending them anything from home, and they’re over there alone,” she said. “Those are the ones we target.” The intent of the packages is to say, “Thank you for what you are doing.” Dunlap said she would send 10 packages to her son, Michael Dunlap, a U.S. Army officer with the C-52 infantry company who was stationed in Iraq for 15 months. He arrived home safely in fall

2010. He would give nine away to soldiers whom he knew hadn’t received anything, she said. The Blue Star Mothers will participate in the Memorial Day parade in Worthington on May 30, holding a Blue Star Mothers banner and pictures of their family members who are in the military. “It’s not just another day or a cookout,” Dunlap said of Memorial Day, adding that now that her son has fought overseas, she feels the pain of what the veterans went

through in past wars. “It means a lot to us.” The women of the group also support each other, Dunlap said. “Moms walk in with a tissue and a picture and say, ‘My kid just left for basic,’and we tell them it’s going to be OK,” she said. Blue Star Mothers post flags in their windows, with one white star representing each solider in their family. Some women of the Columbus chapter have flags with as many as four stars.

As president, Dunlap would present a gold star to a family who has lost a loved one. “It was a heart-wrenching thing to do,” she said. The overall mission of this group is to be patriotic, educational, social and service-oriented and to maintain true allegiance to the government of the United States, Dunlap said. Dunlap, a supervisor in American Signature’s home-office lossprevention department, was honored by the company during its annual leadership conference awards dinner in August. Dunlap received the 2010 Jerome Schottenstein Humanitarian Award in recognition of her public-service efforts. Established in 1997, the Schot-

tenstein award recognizes an American Signature (Value City Furniture’s parent company) employee who has demonstrated extraordinary volunteer efforts by giving back to the community. Dunlap is only the fifth recipient of the award. Her son presented it to her as a surprise guest. The Blue Star Mothers group meets monthly in Worthington; members find a way to educate the public about what really is involved when Americans are fighting overseas. When asked what the Blue Star Mothers meant to her, Dunlap said she finds it difficult to explain it in words, but offered this: “When you see the flag fly, it’s quite different when you have family in the service.”

SWCS OKs classified worker contract Continued from page A1 premium. The contract for teachers is similar regarding health and dental premiums. District treasurer Hugh Garside on May 25 estimated the new contract's provisions will cost about $58,000 during the next two fiscal years. He said the district will save an estimated $5.2 million, compared to the cost of giving 2-percent raises to both OAPSE and the teachers’ union during the 2011-12 and 2012-13 fiscal years. (The teachers union, South-Western Education Association, earlier accepted the same pay raise percentages as OASPE.) A $5.3-million cost for the 2-percent raises was spelled out in the district’s October 2010 five-year financial forecast. Classified workers have been without a

contract since June 30. The new agreement, approved by members of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees Local 211 on May 21, is retroactive to July 1 and expires on June 30, 2013. The school board approved the agreement by a 4-1 vote with member Jo Ellen Myers dissenting, as she did back in March on the contract with the South-Western Education Association. “If (it were) a two-year contract ending next year I would accept it,” she said. “Being a three-year contract, I'm going to decline.” Myers had said in March she wanted to see the impact of Senate Bill 5, which significantly limits collective bargaining by public employees in Ohio, before approving a long-term contract. That bill has since been signed into law,

but a petition drive likely will lead to a statewide referendum vote on Senate Bill 5 in November. Board president Mindy Garverick, who served on the district's negotiating team, said after the May 23 meeting that “it would always be nice to be unanimous (on the board vote). ... This (contract) is a win-win for everyone.” No union officials, including Local 211 president Sue Tope, attended the May 23 meeting. Superintendent Bill Wise praised the contract and said in a statement, “We want to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used as effectively as possible. This agreement also helps us meet the promises made to our community prior to the passage of our most recent operating levy.”

Commentary & 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 the time, more than 5,000 people arrived ED in the city by LENTZ 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 flow-

Financial finesse

Be prepared by getting preapproved 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 preapproved. 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 what-

ever 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-apBRIAN proved know exactly which BURSTEIN 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.

ers, as well. There was no reason to worry. By Tuesday morning, there were 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 Buck-

eye 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 SpanishAmerican 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.

Hartley girls aim for state team title Last weekend’s high school regional track and field meets was the final step to reaching a major goal for many athletes in central Ohio, which is qualifying for the state meet on Friday, June 3, and S a t u r d a y, June 4, in Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium at Ohio State. The thrill of running, jumpLARRY ing, vaulting or throwing in LARSON 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 will have a bit of sadness knowing this is the last time we will be to-

Tourney win among baseball highlights By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek

The Cougars’ Tyler Thomas, the only senior on the boys tennis squad, was named the team MVP.

Westland High School baseball coach Dave Daniels said a Division I district tournament win over Columbus West and improved pitching were the Cougars’ top achievements this spring. The Cougars finished 8-18 overall with a 5-4 loss to Central Crossing in an OCC-Central Division game May 16. “The season was a little better with some improvement like pitching, but we did not hit well enough and made costly errors,” said Daniels, whose team finished 3-23 in 2010. Westland opened the district tournament with a 2-1 win over West on May 9. Sophomore Steven Gonzalez was the winning pitcher, allowing seven hits. The Cougars lost in the second round to OCC-Central rival Dublin Coffman 13-0 in five innings on May 11. Westland finished eighth in the

Ready Roundup

Softball team lets ‘one get away’ in final By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The biggest positive the Ready High School softball team took from its Division III district runner-up finish May 20 at Pickerington Central was that it had hung with top-seeded Liberty Union for two days before losing 3-2. Despite having his team enter the postseason as the eighth seed, Silver Knights coach Nick Joseph believed all along that See LARSON, page A8 his team, as he phrased it, “was-

n’t that bad.” “We lost a lot of games early when we played one day and sat five,” said Joseph, who completed his 20th season leading the program. “I know (Liberty Union) was an extremely strong team, and we let one get away.” Playing without senior shortstop Dani Pugh after she broke her leg while sliding into home during a 7-5 win over East Knox in a district semifinal May 16, Ready built an early lead in the district final, which began May 19.

Senior Haley Widner opened the game with a double, Katie Ardrey singled and Alexis Mayle followed with a two-run double to make it 2-0. The top-seeded Lions answered with one run in the bottom of the first and got two more in the third to take a 3-2 lead. The game was suspended because of rain in the bottom of the fourth, and neither team got much going offensively after that until Ready’s at-bat in the seventh. In that inning, Widner reached on a one-out single, but

Ardrey was ruled out for deadball interference attempting to bunt Widner over. Ready finished 17-7 overall and 3-3 in the CCL to tie Hartley for second behind DeSales (6-0) and ahead of Watterson (1-5). Ready opened the district tournament with a 19-0 win over Linden-McKinley on May 9 and defeated Madison Plains 8-2 in the second round on May 11. Pugh hit better than .520 to lead a senior class that also had Ardrey, Widner, Sam Curry,

Lindsey Kusan and Allison Lichwa. Next season, Ardrey will play for Hillsdale College in Michigan, Pugh will play for IndianaPurdue Fort Wayne and Widner will play for James Madison. Juniors Erin Bennett and Mara Waldo, sophomores Emily Finchum and Alexis Mayle and freshman Haylee Patel should be the most experienced returnees next season. “A lot of kids will be back, See READY, page A8

Ready’s Sam Curry makes the tag too late as Tori Holstein of Liberty Union safely slides into third base during the Silver Knights’ 3-2 loss in a Division III district final May 20 at Pickerington Central.

READY Continued from page A7 and we’ve got a couple young kids that we think will help us,” Joseph said. •It hasn’t taken long for junior Halston Jones to make an impact for the boys track and field program. A first-year competitor in the sport, Jones found a place earlier this spring on both the 400and 800-meter relays. In the Division III district meet May 21 at Gahanna, both relays captured championships to advance to the regional meet that concluded Friday, May 27, at Fairfield Union. The 400 relay ran a time of 44.34 seconds, and the 800 relay finished in 1:32.8. Jones runs on the relays along with Demetrius Clark, Nick Frye and Taron Slone. “It’s really exciting,” Jones said. “It’s my first year with the team this year. Coach (Dean) Tower came up and talked to me before the season, so I decided to sign up for it. We’ve just run

faster and faster times each week.” The other three members of the relays each advanced in individual events as well. Clark moved on in both the 100 (third, 11.36) and 200 (fourth, 23.59), Frye was district champion in the 110 hurdles (14.82) and Slone was district champion in the 100 (11.09). 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. Cody McCoy finished fifth in the shot put (40 feet, 10 1/2 inches). The boys team placed fifth (57) of the 21 teams that scored at district behind champion Columbus Academy (83.5). The girls team finished sixth (40) of the 22 teams that scored in the Division II district meet that concluded May 21 at Hamilton Township, behind champion Hartley (111). Senior Emily Morris, who has advanced to the state meet in the

shot put the past three years, won a district title in the event with a throw of 41-11. Also moving on was the 400 relay of Clare Bochy, Carly Culbertson, Holland Jones and Caitlin McAndrew (third, 50.71). The regional meet concluded May 28 at Welcome Stadium in Dayton. The top four finishers in each regional event advance to state. Finishing fifth at district were the 3,200 relay (10:24.74), Culbertson in the 100 (12.7) and Michelle Kaiser in the 300 hurdles (49.08). Tower believed his team had a good shot of advancing to regional in the 400 relay, as the Silver Knights finished 14th at state in the event last year. “Morris threw 41-11, which is a really good throw, and I know she feels good about it,” Tower said. “Culbertson was only fifth in the 100 but she ran a (personal-best time).” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

LARSON Continued from page A7 gether 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. I love the fact that it becomes mind over matter.” “I love the fact that you are surrounded with friends who have the same goals that I do,” Scott said. “No one is slacking off and when times are rough you go through them together. That is 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 impor-

tant, a better person.” Describing what it will take to win the Division II state title, 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 one weekend left to prove their point. I’ll see you at the state meet.

broke a thumb in the first game of the doubleheader against Fairfield Union, forcing him to miss the remainder of the season. Other players expected back next season are juniors Chase Blankenship and D.J. Taylor. •The boys tennis team closed the regular season by winning its final four matches to finish 514 overall. “I like the way the season ended, and I like the progress that the team made,” coach Dan Witteman said. “I was very pleased with how they progressed from the beginning to the end.” The Cougars were 1-6 in league dual matches and tallied 10 points in the OCC-Central, finishing behind Upper Arlington (82, 7-0), Thomas (60, 6-1), Coffman (59, 5-2), Davidson (41, 4-3), Kilbourne (40, 3-4) and Darby (27, 2-5) and ahead of Central Crossing (1, 0-7). The Cougars defeated Central Crossing 5-0 on May 4. Westland’s other wins were over Briggs 4-1 on April 18, Teays Valley 3-2 on May 5, Hartley 4-1 on May 9 and Franklin Heights 3-2 on May 10. Tyler Thomas, who played first singles most of the season, was named the team’s Most Valuable Player. He was the lone senior on the team. “Tyler has been with me all four years,” Witteman said. “He became a good leader on our team. I was really pleased with what he did.” Junior Devante Stevens, a firstyear player, won the Most Improved Player award. Juniors Stan Bilyk, Dylan Clanin and Bogdan Lysyuk and sophomores Mike Carrico and Tarrell Dixon rounded out the team. •As expected by coach Tim Eckard, junior Jackie Barnhart led the track and field teams in the Division I district meets May 21 at Hilliard Bradley. Barnhart earned the girls team’s three points in the district 1 meet by finishing sixth in the discus (89 feet, 1 inch). Westland finished 14th behind first-place Coffman (152). The boys team was 15th (2) behind first-place Davidson (109) in the district 2 meet. Jose Rodriguez accounted for the Cougars’ points by finishing seventh in the 300-meter hurdles (42.48 seconds). Only the top four finishers in each event advanced to the regional meet May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North. “I was happy to see a great majority of the kids reach a personal record at the biggest meet of the year,” Eckard said. “Even though we did not have anyone reach regional this year, I believe with the young group that we have that the regional and the state meet are realistic goals for our team.”
