Referendum to target Liberty rezoning By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Some Liberty Township residents have filed a referendum on the township trustees’ decision to rezone land at the southwest corner of Home Road and state Route 315 for a 148-house development. The rezoning changed 216 acres from farm residential to planned residential.

Trustees discussed the referendum petition at their June 6 meeting. The property’s address is 7547 state Route 315. The referendum seeks to overturn the trustees’decision. If it is certified by the Delaware County Board of Elections, voters in the unincorporated portion of Liberty Township would decide the issue in November.

Some neighbors of the proposed development object to it for a number of reasons. In particular, they wanted oneacre lots for each house, as the township’s farm-residential zoning requires. The development plans show most of the homes on one-third acre lots and some on one-acre lots. The plan also includes 103.4 acres of greenspace. The proposed development would clus-

ter homes together and 47.8 percent of the land would be greenspace, developer Charles Driscoll has said. Many of those objecting to the rezoning live on or near Woodland Hall Drive. Against objections from the developer’s lawyer, the township rejected a plan to connect two streets from the proposed development to Woodland Hall Drive.

Neighbors opposed the streets, saying they would bring too much traffic to their neighborhood. Trustee Robert Mann said it was a “major accomplishment” for the trustees to convince the Delaware County Engineer’s Office to remove the access roads from the development’s plans. See LIBERTY, page A2

Freedom Trail Elementary School fourth-graders presented their Ohio Fair projects on Friday, June 3. About 96 students participated. (Above) Fourthgrader Megan McCollum talks about Dublin-based restaurant chain, Wendy’s, at the Ohio Fair as (left) Duncan Wendel gives a presentation on the Cincinnati Reds. The projects were the culminating event of the students’ social studies curriculum. “Students (were) given the opportunity to research an influential person, event, place, company or animal that has had an impact on the state of Ohio,” said teacher Desiree Gillman. “Students then chose from a variety of projects to display at their table on the day of the Ohio Fair.” This is the second year the school has held the Ohio Fair.

Libraries set summer reading kick-off By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Summer reading programs are no longer just for children. The Delaware County District Library is now offering the program for adults, prizes included. “We’re having our first adult summer reading program,” said Shea Alltmont. “We had more people asking for (the program) because their children or grandchildren were participating, and they wanted to do it, too. Why should kids have all the fun?” Readers can participate in one of four groups: babies, kids, teens and adults. The theme for the program is “One World, Many Stories,” and includes passports for each age group that get stamped as participants complete their reading. The programs begin the weekend of June 11 and run through Aug. 6. The kick-off at the Orange branch, 7171

Gooding Blvd., is scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 11. The events at Delaware and Powell branches will be held 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 12, at 84 E. Winter St., Delaware, and 460 S. Liberty St., Powell, respectively. As they move through their summer reading, participants can earn prizes along the way. To complete a passport, babies, kids and teens must read a total of 12 hours. They can collect a prize after reading in six-hour and 12-hour increments, said Alltmont. Prizes will include T-shirts, books and various ageappropriate items. “The kids bring in their passports for stamps as they read. These are incentives to keep the kids reading,” Alltmont said. To complete a passport, adults must read three books throughout the summer. They can write online reviews of the books they read.

Should readers need ideas on what to read, librarians have various reading lists available. Summer reading programs are fun, help children polish their reading skills while on break from school, and encourage reading as an enjoyable leisure activity, Alltmont said. More than 3,400 children participated in the 2010 program, she said. The weekend includes special performances by: • Tom Sparough, the Space Painter, whose show includes juggling and comedy. He “paints space” with colorful scarves, balls, and sometimes watermelon, Alltmont said. • Ron Remy, who performs magic, juggling, and ventriloquism.

Genoa Township trustees on June 2 approved a two-year contract with the firefighters union. The contract includes base pay increases of 2 percent each year for 2011 and 2012. That increase is down from the previous twoyear contracts, which granted a 5-percent base pay increase per year. The new contract will expire Dec. 31, 2012. The percentage of increases for step increases for firefighters remained the same as the last contract, township administrator Paul Wise told ThisWeek. Those annual increases are about 8 percent per year. The employee monthly contribution to health insurance of $60 for family coverage and $30 for single coverage remains the same. Employees will contribute to

the deductible: $400 for family coverage and $200 for single. The deductibles total $4,000 for family coverage and $2,000 for single. The township pays the remainder of the deductible. In 2012, the employee will not contribute to the deductible. Firefighters must pass an agility test to retain their jobs. That requirement was part of the previous contract. The new contract includes a 1-percent bonus pay increase per year for passing the agility test. The fire department has 22 fulltime employees under contract and 18 part-time employees not under contract, Fire Chief Gary Honeycutt told ThisWeek. The township’s police union also is under a new contract that was reached in April by binding arbitration. It has the same base pay and insurance provisions as See GENOA, page A7

Donations to bring back city events By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A number of Powell events will return this summer, thanks to the effort of local service clubs and several businesses. Many of Powell’s traditional events were cut for 2011 during the city’s budget discussions. Members of the Powell Sertoma, Rotary Club of Olentangy and Kiwanis Club of Powell stepped in to keep scheduled community events such as the “Lollipops!” children’s concert series, Memorial Day Parade and ceremony, Touch a Truck and the Powell Festival. They were aided by donations from three area businesses, Costco, Giant Eagle and Recreations Outlet. “We got together because almost all these (city) events, especially the Memorial Day parade, were ended because of budget cuts,” said Larry Coolidge of Powell Sertoma. “We decided to approach the city and the city came up with a dollar figure to keep them going.” The revived programs started

in April with the Arbor Day celebration and continue until the Veterans Day ceremony in November, said Steve Ussery of Olentangy Rotary Club. When Ussery moved to Powell in 1979, the city had few such events. Since then, Powell has improved at staging events that build communities, he said. “As the neighborhoods have changed and people moved in, they’ve added more and more events and all of them give a good sense of community and are the types of things that residents expect and deserve. And a service club is here to do local things as well as international things,” Ussery said. “There are a lot of kids that come out to the events and enjoy them. It would have been a tragedy not to be able to put them on.” The Kiawani Club’s defining statement is, “We are dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time,” said Lynn Hanna Stoycheff of the Kiwanis Club of Powell. “The idea is we want to make Powell better See CITY EVENTS, page A2

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP REZONING Continued from page A1 The county engineer and the township’s comprehensive plan recommend at least two streets exit a development, for safety reasons. Trustees said they were not surprised by the referendum, because when they rezoned the land in April, residents said they would file one. Trustee Curt Sybert said, “The township does a great job with zoning and the development was

analyzed (during) many meetings. People should be careful about what they sign.” Driscoll said the price range for the homes would be $600,000 to $1.5 million. The township planning and zoning commission approved the rezoning and development on Jan. 26. The plan was introduced to the zoning commission in 2009. The township will send the referendum petition to the board of elections. The 727 signatures on

the petition must be verified as registered voters in the unincorporated section of the township. If all was done appropriately, voters will see the issue on the November ballot. To meet state requirements for referendums, petitioners must provide a number of valid signatures equal to 8 percent of votes cast in the township for the last gubernatorial race. In November’s race for governor, Liberty Township residents cast 6,428 votes, board of election records show.

UPDATE REMOUNT REVITALIZE

CITY EVENTS Continued from page A1 for the children so that when they grow up, we have stronger communities.” Kiwanis focuses on safety for children and enriching their experience, she said, and the Powell events contribute toward that goal. “The Touch a Truck is a learning experience for the children, and the Lollipops series is an enrichment of music,” she said. “And the Candy by the Carload event is

a safety issue. The Memorial Day parade instills children a sense of tradition and honor and what people sacrifice for us.” “Theses events help bring the community together and shows pride in the community,” Coolidge said. “It makes it a good family community, and as a real estate agent, I think it’s good because it shows Powell’s a good place to raise a family.” The sponsorship of the events is important to the city, said Jeff

Robinson, spokesperson. “We greatly appreciate the local service clubs for knowing how important these events are to the city of Powell, and for stepping up to ensure they would be provided to our residents in 2011,” Robinson said. It cost about $10,000 for the events to be restored, said Robinson. In April, Powell United Methodist Church members revived the city’s Easter egg hunt that was cut from the 2011 budget.

Lollipops series kicks off June 13 By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Powell’s popular “Lollipops!” children’s concert series will highlight area artists this year. Performances are scheduled from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday, June 13, July 11 and Aug. 8, on the Village Green Amphitheater, 47 Hall St., Powell. The Annie Jam Band of Sunbury will perform in June. It is the band’s first time performing for the series.

Annie Hawe leads the band, and encourages a lot of audience participation, said Jeff Robinson, Powell spokesperson. “She’s very good and gets the kids very involved and brings lots of extra instruments that she will let the kids use during the performance,” Robinson said. The band Endless Recess is scheduled for July. “They are another new (to the series) artist and will bring a fun show to the stage,” Robinson said. The Shazzbots are scheduled

for August and performed at last year’s series. Band members perform as crew members rocketing through space and providing “a little bit of learning and a whole lot of fun,” their web site says. “They’re a fun group. Each one has their own stage persona,” said Robinson, including a “captain and scientist.” Depending on the weather, audiences range from 200 to 700 people, Robinson said. “Several hundred people —

600 to 700 — show up on warm sunny days and the splash pad is open, so it’s a really fun time,” Robinson said. “It’s a way to get a lot of moms and dads and kids enjoying a summer morning. It’s been a nice thing that brings out the crowds consistently. The am-

phitheater is a wonderful venue.” The series is in its sixth year. Budget cuts almost shut the series down, but area service groups Powell Sertoma Club, Olentangy Rotary and Kiwanis Club of Powell jointly worked to keep this and other cut Powell community

events going. (See related story on cover.) For more information on the series, visit www.cityofpowell.us. For information on the performers, visit www.anniejamband.com, www.myspace.com/endlessrecess and www.theshazzbots.com.

Commentary & opinion

School’s out for the summer …

Just thinking

Off the hiking trail but not off track My hiking cousin has gone home. He left the Appalachian Trail a few days ago, driven to desperation by a swollen right knee, driven to the Roanoke airport by a trail angel driving a Jeep Cherokee. The knee had been bothering him for days, if not weeks, though his mentions of it in his Trailjournals posts had been brief. He seemed to swat away his achy knee as if it were a mosquito interfering with the real story, the story about emerging from the trail into a mountain top resort parking lot, where he and other thru-hikers were surrounded by vacationers and tourists, who treated them like rock stars; about coming upon the graves of two Confederate soldiers, apparently brothers who were members of the North Carolina infantry, and a woman he surmised was the men’s sister, who chose to be buried next to her brothers; about following the trail to an abandoned house, gutted on the inside but decorated on its interior walls with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of handprints made with paint. Where did the paint come from? And why put it to that particular use? A question to turn over in one’s mind while climbing above the tree line — above, seemingly, the very earth itself: “I summited Big Bald with unlimited 360degree views at an elevation of 5,516 feet.” And this comment, about a barn-turned-hiker-shelter called Overmountain: “The green valley spread before me and the sun rising over the mountains brought something very special to this Easter Sunday morning.” That lucky dog. I suppose it’s easy to slip into trail life, a world in which only a few questions need to be answered each day: Are my socks dry? Is my water purified? And which way is north? That my cousin had found that world a perfect fit was indisputable. He spoke of picnic table conversations about all things hiking: getting into town, finding a place to resupply — that is, grocery shop — avoiding one shelter (no water) and heading for another (showers! Unheard of!). “Let me tell you about last night’s shelter,” one post began. “I shared it with four others, but only three of us were actually able to sleep in the shelter. Someone,

or perhaps old age, had left the sleeping platform unsupported, and so two-thirds of it was the nice flat surface MARGO that one might BARTLETT expect and the last third sloped down so that it was impossible to sleep on. I shared the shelter with Camo, Lisa and Huff & Puff.” Trail names — colorful and descriptive — intrigued my cousin, and he often listed them: Road Dog, Day Dreamer, Nor’ Easter, Meesha, Step ‘n’ a Half, Badger, Whoa, Doc, Moon Dog, Do Whut? and Tippy Toes are enough to make a person fill a pack and set out, at least long enough to come up with an excellent trail name of one’s own. And while I’m at it, I may as well stay long enough to follow my cousin’s example — in just two months of hiking, he’s lost 35 pounds and now weighs less than he did in high school. Had he stayed on the trail, or if he returns, he’ll have to snack constantly, lest he return to his seventh-grade weight. He may return to the trail. He’s hoping his doctor will repair his knee, wrap it up and tell him to go hike another 1,500 miles or so with her blessing. Some version of that might happen, but even my hopeful cousin admits that he’ll probably take up the adventure at the Connecticut line, hoping to reach Mount Katahdin by mid-October. This is a prettygood-case scenario and he’ll take it, but I feel like kicking something — by no means my cousin — out of annoyance that he was tripped up while doing something he loved so much. Some might say he couldn’t have hoped to hike the whole trail at age 69, but I say nonsense. Anyone can overuse a knee, especially a knee that’s already had some surgical attention through the years. (He’d had an active career as a tugboat captain; he was no stranger to strenuous effort.) I, perhaps a shade doubtful at first, had come around to thinking something along the lines of “Good heavens! He’s actually going to do this thing!” Besides, I’m one of those — sorry, but I have to say it — Baby Boomers, who deny age and the limitations of it. We’re like the

We’re in your neighborhood.

New SUM MER

Lost Boys in “Peter Pan,” who sang, “We won’t grow up, we won’t grow up,” except we’re singing, “We won’t get old, we won’t get old …” Of course we’re kidding ourselves if our end goal is to duck death altogether, but if the goal is to remain fit and keep running and hiking and spinning and lifting long past the time that our parents took to the couch to watch “Meet the Press” and Johnny Carson, well, we’ve already done that. There’s nothing left to prove. As for my cousin, I have faith that he’ll ice his knee, rest it for a few days and return to the trail. This is why, in his own words: “I’ve learned that I can walk all day with all my worldly needs on my back. I’ve learned that while I suffered a great gasping for breath while climbing steep uphills in the beginning, I can now keep a steady gait, one step after another, with only a slight increase in respiration rate. I’ve learned a myriad of camping, tenting, water purification, camp cooking and woods ‘going’tricks. But most important, I’ve learned of the fellowship and community of my fellow hikers, an experience to be cherished. …” That was an on-trail reflection, and my cousin echoed that just the other day, when he e-mailed me from his home in New England. “I’ve made so many new friends while hiking and may never have the opportunity to hike with them again,” he wrote. “This business of leaving our TV and lazy boy and living in the woods has and continues to make me feel young and wanting adventure and more bird song.” Feeling young, wanting adventure and more bird song. That’s the answer to the question “What’s a prime way to live your life from the beginning to the very end?” Seems to me my cousin has it right.

History today

Sewing once had great importance

Our guest columnist this month is Jo Cornish-Gerwig who grew up in Powell and now lives in a Columbus suburb. She is a seventh-generation descendent of Timothy Andrews Sr., who came to this area in 1806. Along with her mother and sister, she is a founding member of the Powell Liberty Historical Society and is a member of the board. Jo recorded a cherished memory several months ago, and I share it with you today. Her story may be familiar to some of you or it may elicit a similar memory from your past. — Carole Wilhelm ——— “One cold winter day, I laid out and pinned the light tissue pattern over my green and brown jersey knit material. As I spread my soon-to-be blouse on the floor, my thoughts were flooded with memories of doing the same task as a child in my 4-H club, Powell Hearth and Shuttle. Powell Hearth and Shuttle was one of the early 4-H clubs in Delaware County. It was organized in 1936. Members began to exhibit their projects first at the Powell Fair and, beginning in 1938, at the Delaware County Fair. During my 10 years (19621972) in the club, I had the pleasure of having the best 4-H advisers. They included Betty Coleman, Eleanor Duncan, Doris HuffContact Margo Bartlett by email man, Diane Cordial and my at mbartlett@thisweeknews.com. mother, Louise A. Cornish. These

JO CORNISH-GERWIG ladies were a loyal group, with many of them volunteering 10 or more years each. I began to realize how important sewing was to my mother, her mother, Bertha Colvin Andrews, and the others who came before them. My grandmother, for example, would gather with other women for sewing. The gathering became a social event of sorts that helped families in Powell stay connected. Sewing was a necessity, unless a

person had a lot of money to purchase store-bought clothes. I recall that my mother wrote a story for the Powell Liberty Historical Society newsletter which she titled “My First Store-Bought Dress.” Sewing was a means of income for a few people in Powell. Mrs. Gardener, who lived on South Liberty Street, would take in clothes from customers to wash, iron and mend. My father, Paul Cornish, was an upholsterer. His business was Powell Upholstery, and he was a See HISTORY, page A5

Sometimes the material became very frayed due to repeated sewing and ripping out seams.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CASH IN ON MODERN DAY GOLD RUSH!

By Jason Delong

STAFF WRITER Yesterday at the Best Western Delaware Inn, hundreds lined up to cash in antiques, collectibles, gold and jewelry at the Treasure Hunters Roadshow. The free event is in Delaware all week, buying gold, silver, antiques and collectibles. One visitor I spoke with yesterday said, “It’s unbelievable, I brought in some old coins that had been in a little cigar box for years and some old herringbone necklaces—in less than fifteen minutes I left with a check for $700. That stuff has been in my

The man said, “Dad had less than fifty bucks in that guitar.” The Roadshow specialist that assisted him made a few phone calls and a veterinarian in Seattle, Washington bought the guitar for $5,700.00. The seller continued, “I got another $150.00 for a broken necklace and an old class ring. It’s not every day that someone comes to town bringing six thousand dollars with your name on it.”

I just finished working with a gentleman that had an old class ring, two bracelets and a handful of silver dollars. His check was for over $650.00. I would say that there were well over 100 people in here yesterday that sold their scrap gold.” One gentleman holding his check for over $1,250.00 in the lobby of the event yesterday had this comment: “I am so happy I decided to come to the Roadshow. I saw the newspaper ad for the event and brought in an old German sword I had brought back from World War II and some old coins, and here is my check. What a great thing for our community. I am heading home now to see what else I have that they might be interested in.” The Roadshow continues today starting at 9am. The event is free and no appointment is needed.

GENOA TOWNSHIP Continued from page A1 the firefighters contract. The percentage of increases for step increases for police officers remained the same as the last contract, Wise told ThisWeek. Those annual increases are between 4 and 15 percent, depending on the number of years of service and the employee’s title. Police Chief Robert Taylor told ThisWeek the department has 25 full-time and four part-time officers, and three civilian employees. Twenty-three of the 25 fulltime officers are under the contract. Trustees unanimously approved the firefighters’ contract afteran executive session. Prior to the vote, trustee Barb Lewis read from a written statement, saying that she thought the base pay increase was too high. She said she would approve the contract to avoid the expense of paying an attorney to fight for a lower base pay increase, as trustees had done with the police contract. Lewis said she is concerned that the five-year levies for both

departments, approved by voters in May 2010, could not sustain such increases. Lewis said that property values in the county are expected to decrease, which may decrease the revenue generated by those levies. She said in the future she would oppose any general fund or supplemental money going toward either department if the levies don’t provide enough money. “Should the current levy funds run short, personnel layoffs likely will follow,” her statement said. In other business, trustees rejected bids for improvements to McNamara Park. Trustees will rebid a slimmeddown project because the lowest bid came in at $1.5 million, about $500,000 more than anticipated. Trustees had appropriated $945,000 for improvements. The township will perform some of the work in-house, which will cost less, Wise said. Trustees also agreed to spend $35,000 to construct a pedestrian trail connecting McNamara Park and the township hall, one of the improvements that will be done in-house.

Other improvements for the 30-acre park include developing wetland rain gardens, adding 1.5 miles of trail improvements encircling the park and installing tennis courts. Assistant administrator Joe Clase said the lowest bid came in at $74,000 for two tennis courts, higher than expected. The estimates for the new bid package should be around $600,000, Clase said. Trustees also: • Hired part-time firefighters Eric Simpson and John Eing. • Approved a liquor license for Yabos Tacos and Patio, 7097 state Route 3, Westerville. • Approved Bureau of Workers Compensation injury leave to two police officers injured on the job. One cut the tendon in his finger while trying to install a 50inch flat-screen TV in the police facility. The other has an injured hip caused by his holster and gun, which push into his hip. • Heard that the township was able to fix the roof on the shelter in McNamara Park for $1,000 instead of spending $4,497 to replace it.

New chef brings menu thrills to The Rossi “The thrill is goooone, baaaaby,” yowled B.B. King as I was seated at a rare available table in The Rossi Bar + Kitchen. Usually, a shopworn song like this deflates my mood. But that night (Was it the festive crowd? The stylish restaurant?), the old tune felt almost fresh. And hey, I’ve got nothing against B.B., but as the evening progressed, I realized the blues dude’s words couldn’t have been more off base. Because the thoroughly fabulous food I began slamming back at the Rossi proved the thrill is most certainly not gone here. Actually, I haven’t been more enthusiastic about this place since reviewing it the week it opened, in April 2005. My excitement grew from fantastic nightly specials and spread to just-introduced menu items rolled out by the Rossi’s bright new chef,Andrew Smith. Formerly working in that artsy hotbed of culinary daring called Portland, Ore., Smith’s stuff has been creative without tasting strange, ingredient-conscious without sounding

MENU by G.A. Benton precious. This translates into meals as good as I’ve recently had anywhere in town. Before eating, though, try one of the Rossi’s wild cocktails, like the giggly Beet Down ($10). Not only does this rubycolored, hefty, aromatic oddball go down considerably better than it sounds, but I kinda love it. Refreshingly, it’s a bit citrusy with orange-kissed Watershed Gin flying off pomegranate molasses, both grounded by splashes of earthy beet juice. Crystals of sea salt crust the cocktail glass, realigning the palate between sips. The lovely, light and lemony-dressed arugula salad ($10) is another new favorite. It’s huge — a salad king crowned with toasted hazelnuts and a crunchy crostini smeared with Lucky Penny goat

with Lucky Penny feta) it’s listed on cards posted above the restaurant “pass.” There, you might also see a (sexily seared) scallop, (bacony) crispy pork rillette and tomatillo-jam appetizer. If you do, order this immediately. Ditto for a terrifically balanced soupof-the-day gazpacho ($6). Rustic yet lush, its fresh and colorful chopped vegetables (tomato, cucumber and red onion) were aromatized by a hint of basil and enriched by drops of an excellent olive oil plus pulverized bread. This brings us to what’s become a much-talked-about dish around town — the Rossi’s incredible new Pork and Beans ($18). Criminally undersold by its mundane name, this breakout entree can easily erase bad memories of underachieving predecessors of the same name. It begins with a huge and beautiful bone-in, center-cut pork chop, expertly char-grilled like the tender and juicy steak it is. On top is a mass of mayonnaisedressed slaw sharpened by sliced green

The Rossi Address: 895 N. High St., Short North Phone: 614-299-2810 Web: rossibarandkitchen.com apple and bits of pickled jalapeno. Surrounding this are gigantic, meaty and creamy corona beans (think extra-large butter beans) that are a riotous pleasure to eat. Combined, it all made for a comfort-food masterpiece dripping with so much arousing flavor that I literally had to pound on the table and declare, “Holy slab of hog, that’s good!” In a similar, dressed-up-casual vein was a glorious Pork Confit sandwich ($9) served with terrific fries. Assembled with carnitas-like strands of intensified pulled pig meat and pickled watermelon rind scented with cinnamon, it’s like the dream of a summertime picnic awakened by a clever chef. And another reason to visit the thrilling Rossi again.

I think his food is very good,” he said. “It’s something Westerville doesn’t have.” Nguyen established his first Lac Viet almost seven years ago in the North Market and later opened Phat Wraps, a healthy-food concept on campus. He said he has sold his interest in both restaurants so he could focus on his two other stores. In related news, Nguyen has attained a license through the Ohio Department of Agriculture that allows him to transport food from Lac Viet on Bethel to other locations, meaning he has turned that store into a commissary kitchen. He recently bought a 60-gallon stockpot and intends to sell his pho broth to other restaurants. “I’m ready for the next level,” he said.

Preservation Parks brief Parks’ ‘Letterbox’ program returns Preservation Parks of Delaware County’s awardwinning Summer Letterbox Adventure returns this month for its fourth season. The free project for families and children will have participants looking for hidden boxes in six Preservation Parks preserves, by following clues developed by park naturalists. During their search-

ANNU

es, children will learn about nature, and when they find the boxes, they can read a story “told” by a plant or animal that lives in the park. Families can visit the park on their own time to complete the project, which will end Aug.15. Children who find all the letterboxes will be entered in a drawing for prizes, including passes to Perkins Observatory, and the Columbus Zoo See PRESERVATION PARKS, page B4

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen TOP-DOWN HEARING RISK

Carrying on a conversation with fellow passengers in a convertible can be so difficult that automobile manufacturers continually redesign their top-down models in order to make the open-air experience quieter. However, it seems that many automakers have fallen short in these efforts to the point where many convertibles are noisy enough to cause hearing loss. In fact, when researchers recently drove five convertibles at 55 miles per hour, they found that it was surprisingly easy to exceed the 85-decibel level, which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health identifies as “excessive noise exposure.” While no one wants to spoil anyone’s fun, those who are concerned about their hearing should be aware of this risk Whether they come from riding in a convertible, frequent exposure to loud power equipment, or playing music at a loud volume, hearing risks are all around us every day. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our goal is to help our patients hear as well as they can for as long as they can. Please call us 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!

FloodStopper of Ohio Don’t wait till you’re knee deep in water I really can’t begin to express my gratitude for all Heather has helped me with….selling TWO homes and purchasing THREE. Each time, Heather handled each transaction from beginning to end and didn’t miss one detail. She was always available to answer any questions I had and address my concerns…always with a smile. Heather’s knowledge, professionalism, and caring attitude cannot be matched. Not only did she help me find the perfect home, but I walked away with a friend.

Baseball

Liberty coach stepping down By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Matt Lattig resigned on June 3 as coach of the Olentangy Liberty High School baseball team. Lattig is the only coach the Patriots have had since the program began in the 2003-04 school year. His overall record was 134-77. The Patriots won league titles in 2005 (OCC-Capital Division), 2009 (OCC-Cardinal) and 2010 (OCC-Cardinal). They were a Division II district champion in 2005 and were district runners-up in 2004 (Division III), 2009 (Division I) and 2010 (Division I). This season, Liberty finished 8-16 overall and 5-9 in the OCC-Cardinal, seventh behind champion Olentangy (12-2). “I am both mentally and emotionally tired and if I were to come back, I’m not sure I would be able to give 100 percent to the program and that wouldn’t be fair to the kids,” Lattig said. “Also, my kids are involved in various sports and I am tired of not being part of their lives, so it’s definitely time for a break.” Lattig and his wife, Lora, have two sons: Zane, 9, and Jacob, 6. “Mr. (Tom) Gerhardt (Liberty athletics director) and I have had several conversations about this,” Lattig said. “It wasn’t an easy decision for me. It has been an emotional one, but one I think I needed to make.” Lattig will remain a health and physical education teacher at the high school. “We’re losing a great man who is one of the best coaches in the district and one of the best teachers on the diamond,” Gerhardt said. “Matt will be helping me as a faculty manager in the fall and he will be one of several people helping us start a leadership council, which will help our students become better leaders.” Following Lattig’s resignation, Gerhardt said Liberty has only two of its original coaches — girls volleyball coach Jen Chapman and football coach Steve Hale. From this spring’s baseball team, Michael Fries signed to play at Butler University in Indianapolis and Dylan Yankle committed to play at Lake Erie College, a Division II school in Painesville. Last season, four Liberty players signed Division I scholarships in Josh Dezse (Ohio State), Zack Michael (Toledo), Michael O’Neill (Michigan) and Tyler Stage (Ohio University). In Lattig’s eight seasons, the Patriots sent 17 players on to play college baseball. Fries was the 10th player to sign with a Division I school. “We have so many playing baseball in college, but there are kids in college not playing baseball who were helped out by Matt,” Gerhardt said. “For-

Liberty’s Joey Uhle (left) and his brother, Chris, enjoy the moment on the awards podium with champion Jake Blankenship of Gahanna after the pole vault competition during the Division I state meet June 4 at Ohio State. Blankenship’s winning vault of 17 feet tied the state record set earlier this season by Joey Uhle, who placed second at 16 feet, 6 inches. Chris Uhle finished third at 16-0.

Track & Field

Local athletes fare well at state By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After missing his third polevault attempt of 16 feet, 6 inches in the Division I state track and field meet, Olentangy Liberty High School senior Joey Uhle noticed an official waving his arms. The standard that was holding the bar had come loose, giving Uhle another chance. He cleared 16-6 on the extra try but missed on three consecutive attempts at 17-0 to finish second behind Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship (17-0) and ahead of his twin brother and teammate, Chris Uhle (16-0), on June 4 at Ohio State. “I was confused at first (by the official),” Joey Uhle said. “I didn’t know what was going on. I guess that was my little graduation gift from the state meet.” The second- and third-place finishes for the Uhles were part of a strong performance for the Patriots, whose state competitors all placed in the top eight of their events to reach the podium. Liberty tied Cincinnati Mount Healthy for ninth (17 points) behind champion Cincinnati LaSalle (36). Olentangy tied Dublin Coffman, Fremont Ross, Huber Heights Wayne, Louisville, Northland, Newark and Twinsburg for 53rd place with four points. In the girls meet, Orange tied eight other teams for 44th place (4) behind champion Reynoldsburg (47) while Olentangy didn’t score. For Joey Uhle, it was his second consecutive runner-up finish at state after placing second (16-0) to Chris Uhle (then-staterecord 16-9) last year. Blankenship was fourth (15-8) at state See COACH, page C3 last year.

Orange’s Katelyn Daniels hurls the discus en route to finishing seventh in the event during the Division I state meet on June 4.

Blankenship’s 17-0 tied Joey Uhle’s state record, which he set in the Division I, district 2 meet May 21 at Hilliard Bradley. Blankenship and the Uhles competed against each other four times this season, with Chris winning the Freedom Relays (16-4) on April 21 at home, Joey

winning the district title (17-0) and Blankenship winning the regional title (16-6) on May 25 at Pickerington North and the state title. “Whenever you get a bunch of guys jumping around this high, you all know each other,” Chris Uhle said. “We all know

each other really well. When we were at 16-6, part of me was going, ‘Man, I hope Jake doesn’t clear this because it would make things a lot easier for Joey and me.’ But at the same time, you hope everyone does their best.” Liberty’s biggest surprise might have been sophomore Grant Cartwright in the discus. The 16th seed, Cartwright threw 161-1 on his third attempt to place seventh behind champion A.J. Hicks of Solon, who set a stadium record with a throw of 200-7. “This shows me no matter how much adversity is against you, anything can happen,” said Cartwright, who was fourth at regional (145-2) and fouled on his first attempt at state. “You might not be the biggest, you might not be the strongest, but if you work the hardest, you’ll have a good result.” Chris Uhle became the first

member of the Patriots boys team to reach the state podium in a running event, placing eighth in the 800 meters in 1 minute, 55.68 seconds. His strategy was to come out strong. “This was my time to run,” he said. “At regionals I did the first 400 in 54 (seconds) and I finished in 1:53, so I got that in my head. So I ran the first lap in around 53 seconds. I knew I had to keep up the pace and that it was going to hurt like heck when I finished.” •In middle school, Orange sophomore Katelyn Daniels had to persuade her coaches to let her try the throwing events. In the Division I state meet, she placed seventh in both the shot put and discus. “In seventh grade, my coaches thought I was more of a runner, so I had to convince See TRACK, page C2

Boys Soccer

Diehl resigns as Liberty coach for MVNU job By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The boys and girls soccer teams at Olentangy Liberty High School, both Division I district runners-up last season, will have new leaders this fall. Months after Lisa Saiben was hired to replace Erin Mullady as girls coach, the Patriots now must find a boys coach. Josh Diehl, who guided the Patriots to a 53-28-11 record, three district final appearances and two OCC titles in five seasons, has resigned to take an assistant coaching position with the Mount Vernon Nazarene University menâ€™s soc-

cer program. â€œI felt the timing was right and (this is) a fantastic opportunity for me professionally,â€? said Diehl, a 2004 MVNU graduate. â€œMVNU has helped shape me into the person that I am today. I am really excited for the opportunity to invest back into the program. â€œLiberty soccer will always be very dear to my heart. Iâ€™m very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to lead the boys at Liberty for the past five years. I have made so many wonderful relationships and everlasting memories through this experience.â€? Diehl will work for MVNU coach

Andrew Belleman, who was hired on May 11. Diehl is the second coach to leave the Liberty boys program for MVNU. Daniel Seiffert, a former assistant coach for Diehl, became head coach of the Cougars womenâ€™s program in 2009. The Cougars menâ€™s team has been ranked in the top 25 and has advanced to the NAIA Final Four the past three years. Diehl said his responsibilities will include assisting in daily training, game management, recruiting and mentoring players. â€œHeâ€™s going to be missed,â€? Liberty athletics director Tom Gerhardt said.

â€œJosh is a very disciplined, very religious man. He had certain values that he expected the kids to follow. I couldnâ€™t ask for anything more out of a coach.â€? Diehl arrived at Liberty in 2006, a year after the Patriots went 2-13-2 overall and former coach John Siles resigned before the 2005 district tournament. In his first season, Diehl helped the Patriots finish 10-8-1 overall and tie Watkins Memorial for the OCCCapital Division title with 4-1 records. â€œWhat we did (that first season) was inspire a vision,â€? Diehl said. â€œAs a coach, you have to be yourself. You

canâ€™t imitate or try to be someone else. You have to be honest and real with your team. â€œUltimately, weâ€™ve established an environment of high standards, support and passion. High school soccer needs to be fun and competitive. We did a pretty good job in establishing this type of culture.â€? Gerhardt said he hasnâ€™t put a timetable on finding a new coach.

In the discus, Daniels threw 131-8 on her first attempt to finish behind champion Ali Tolich of Austintown Fitch (157-2). In the shot put, she threw 424 on her fifth of six attempts as Dâ€™Monami Gardner of Cincinnati Withrow (46-8 3/4) won the title. â€œI had a really awful day in the shot put, but it feels awesome to make the awards podium,â€? Daniels said. â€œI didnâ€™t expect this coming in, so this is such a blessing. Itâ€™s going to just keep growing from here. Iâ€™m not taking seventh next year.â€? â€˘Olentangy junior Joshua Perry finished second in the long jump at state last year with an effort of 22-11 1/2. After the first round of jumps in the Division I state meet this year, Perry was forced to readjust his goals. On his first attempt, defending state champion Devin Smith of Massillon Washington cleared a stadium-record 24-7 that would give him the state title. Perry finished fifth (22-5 1/4). â€œToday was about doing what I could do,â€? said Perry, whose season-best jump was 22-11 1/2. â€œThere are a couple of things I

can do to improve my jumps. I kept thinking when I run I need to be at top speed. When I hit the pit, I need to have my legs out.â€? Senior Adaora Anunike, making her third consecutive state appearance, placed ninth in the shot put (school-record 41-3 1/2) and 13th in the discus (118-4). â€œIt was such a goal for me to get on the podium, but another

goal for me was to (set a personal record). I did that in shot and had my second-best throw of the season in discus,â€? said Anunike, who had placed 15th in the shot as a sophomore and junior. â€œItâ€™s good to know I was peaking at the right time.â€? pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

fied for having improper stitching on his shorts. According to coach Brad Seaburn, Barns competed with the same shorts all season. â€˘SHOELESS â€” Bay Village Bayâ€™s Michael Brajdic and Westerville Northâ€™s Brian Hannaford were among the runners who lost a shoe during their races June 4. Brajdic won the 3,200 in Division II (9:25.07) by more than six seconds despite competing without his left shoe for nearly a mile. He will continue his track career at Ohio State. Things didnâ€™t turn out as well for Hannaford in the Division I 3,200. He was hanging with eventual-champion Tsehaye Hiluf of Reynoldsburg for the first five laps before one of his shoes got knocked off by another runner. He stuck with the race for another lap before dropping out. â€˘MEMORABLE SEASON â€” Gahanna Christian had its first Division III state qualifier in Paris Jenkins, who finished 12th (12.8) in the 100. Jenkins will attend Oral Roberts University, where she is considering competing for the track team. â€˘REMINISCING â€” Grandview coach Brian Schoch watched with pride as the 1,600 relay from Minster stood atop the awards podium after winning in 3:22.11 in the Division III boys meet. â€œI anchored the (1,600 relay) at Minster 16 years ago when we won the (event at state),â€? Schoch said. â€œIt was really fun to watch that and remember the good times we had.â€? â€˘BATTLING THROUGH INJURY â€” Gahanna sophomore Lynnsey Brim placed second in the Division I girls long jump (18-8 3/4) behind Middleburg Heights Midpark senior Kaila Barber (19-1 3/4) despite nursing a turf toe injury on her left foot. â€œTurf toe may not sound that serious, but itâ€™s an injury that can be devastating to a track athlete because it makes every step you take painful,â€? coach Roger Whittaker said. â€œLynnsey didnâ€™t even long jump this season until May 5, and she only took three attempts while winning district and regional because we were trying to save her for state. Lynnsey was in pain this season, but she really stepped up

Olentangy Liberty High School seniors and twin brothers Chris and Joey Uhle opted to miss their graduation ceremony on June 4 to compete in the pole vault in the Division I state track and field meet at Ohio State. Libertyâ€™s commencement was set to begin at 10 a.m. at the Ohio Expo Celeste Center while the pole vault was scheduled for noon. Chris asked anatomy teacher Hap Helfrich to pick up his diploma and Joey had chemistry teacher Brian Lindow stand in for him. â€œMr. Helfrich was one of my favorite teachers, so I asked him if he could walk for me and get my diploma,â€? Chris Uhle said. â€œHe was really honored to do that for me. He texted me afterward and said, â€˜I finally graduated.â€™â€? Olentangyâ€™s graduation began at 6 p.m. After Braves senior Adaora Anunike finished ninth in the shot put (41-3 1/2), she had less than an hour and a half to drive to the Celeste Center. Alphabetically, Anunike was supposed to be the third senior to receive a diploma, but because she was participating in the state meet, the school moved her to near the end of the order. â€œI think theyâ€™re really looking out for me,â€? Anunike said. â€œItâ€™s always a real nice thing to have â€˜Tangyâ€™ backing you up.â€? â€˘MORE TITLES COMING? â€” Both the Reynoldsburg and Hartley girls track teams used mixes of seniors and underclassmen to capture state titles June 4. The Raiders in particular should return a strong unit next year. Junior Destinee Gause won the 100 meters (11.82 seconds) and the 200 (23.84), and classmate Faith Washington placed fourth in the 100 hurdles (14.52) and third in the 300 hurdles (43.58). Of the six competitors who helped Reynoldsburg score 47 points to win a third consecutive team title, only Kacia Grant and Donyelle Brown are seniors. The Hartley girls team also scored 47 points as it won the Division II title. Seniors Aisha Cavin, Maya Pedersen and Chelsea Scott each scored in individual events and ran on relays. Five Hawks who saw action

in relays last weekend are eligible to return. â€˘SOARING TO A NEW RECORD â€” Medina senior Taylor Burke set the state record in the girls high jump by clearing 6-1 1/4 to win the Division I state title on June 4. Burke broke the previous record of 6-0 that had been set by Cleveland Collinwoodâ€™s Christina Estrict in 2000. â€˘ALSO JUMPING TO A TITLE â€” After Brookhaven senior Nigel Preacher had the state title in the Division I boys high jump locked up June 4, he set his sights on the state record. Preacher jumped 7-0 to win the title then took three shots at 7-3, but came up short. The state record of 7-2 3/4 was set in 2009 by Toledo Rogersâ€™ Erik Kynard Jr. â€˘STATE-RECORD RUN â€” New Albanyâ€™s Taneisha Cordell ran a state-meet record in the girls Division I 800, winning in 2:07.35. Her coach, Otis Winston, is the Division III state meet record holder in the high jump, clearing 7-0 for Toronto in 1992. â€˘ITâ€™S NOT THAT BAD â€” As Grandview senior Sarah Meier stood on the second-place step of the awards podium in the Division III girls 300 hurdles, Teddi Joe Maslowski of Steubenville Catholic Central was making her third appearance on top of it. Maslowski, a Duke signee, already had earned the state record earlier in the meet in the 100 hurdles and was the anchor of the teamâ€™s winning 800 relay. Still, Meier said she heard Maslowski groan when her time of 44.79 was announced. At the state meet last year, Maslowski set the Division III record when she ran 42.61. â€œI told her everyoneâ€™s time was slower (during the finals) because we were running into a wind,â€? Meier said. â€œI was just happy to finally be standing in the No. 2 spot.â€? Meier finished third in the 300 hurdles at state each of the past two seasons before placing second (45.16) this season. She also added a third-place finish (15.33) in the 100 hurdles June 4. â€˘TOUGH CALL â€” Grove City Christianâ€™s Jaymie Barns capped a successful season by advancing to the boys 400 in the Division III state meet.

2011 Memorial Tournament

Stricker’s four rounds in 60s key to victory By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Despite leading by as many as six strokes during the third round, Steve Stricker never was able to put away the Memorial Tournament until he dropped a short putt for bogey on the 72nd hole June 5 at Muirfield Village Golf Club. A two-hour weather delay had pushed the finish back to 8:20 p.m. A 44-year-old Wisconsin native and resident, Stricker carded rounds of 68-67-69-68 for a 16-under-par 272 to defeat both Matt Kuchar and Brandt Jobe by one shot. Stricker, who posted his 10th career win on the PGA Tour and sixth since 2009, got to 18-under at one point during the final round with six birdies on the front nine. He was threatening Tom Lehman’s 1994 tournament record of 20-under 268 before bogeying two of his final four holes, including the par-5 15th. “It was a struggle coming out of the rain delay,” Stricker said. “After that, I just tried not to make a mistake.” Dustin Johnson (276) finished fourth and was followed by Rory McIlroy (277) and Gary Woodland (278) as Luke Donald (280) headlined a group of six that tied for seventh place. Both Kuchar and Jobe closed with 7-under 65s, and 10 of the top 12 finishers posted scores of 68 or better. That didn’t include Jonathan Byrd, who also finished at 8under 280. He was three strokes off the pace after three rounds and played with Stricker in the final pairing, but Byrd closed with a 1-over 73. Still, 42 of 73 players came in under par during the final round after a thunderstorm, which hit shortly after the third round, softened playing conditions. Ostrander native Ben Curtis posted a final round 67, his best round in nine appearances at the tournament, to finish at 281 and tie for 13th. Stricker, whose best previous finish at the Memorial was a tie for 13th in 1996, played the front nine in 20 under and recorded a hole-in-one on the par-3 No. 8 hole during the second round. The other contenders made up ground on the back

side, however, and the final three holes proved especially difficult. Entering the final round the last three holes, which includes the redesigned par-3 16th, ranked as the toughest three-hole closing stretch this season on the PGA Tour with an average score of .834 strokes over par. But the average four-round score was 71.129 strokes, the lowest since 2007 and the fifth-

lowest in 36 Memorials. Stricker is the Memorial’s first champion since 1983 to play the back nine over par (plus-four) for the week, but he also was the only player this year to card four rounds in the 60s. “I finished 15 under. Isn’t that a great score out here usually? Jobe said. “I wouldn’t imagine if we went out and shot 7 under (in the final round) that we wouldn’t have a better chance

to win. Hats off to Steve. He played great.” As Stricker came off the 18th green to begin celebrating his victory, tournament founder and host Jack Nicklaus greeted him with a handshake and a hug. “It’s pretty special,” Stricker said. “He’s a friend, and it’s truly an honor.” •NEXT STOP — The PGA Tour now moves to Memphis, Tenn., where the FedEX St. Jude

Classic begins Thursday, June 9. Facing some of the thickest rough of the season at Muirfield Village should help as players also are preparing for the season’s second major. The U.S. Open will be held June 16-19 at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md. •LOOKING AHEAD — The 2012 Memorial honoree needs no introduction. Tom Watson, who won the tourna-

ment in 1979 and again in 1996 at age 46, was one of Nicklaus’ top rivals during his prime. Now 61, Watson continues to thrive on the Champions Tour. He became the second oldest player to win a major on that tour when he prevailed at the Senior PGA Championship two weeks ago. kadams@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

with them. It was hard enough for me just to walk. I just tried to suck it up and do what I could do.” Small, a freshman, hurt her left hamstring while competing in the 400 relay at regional but two days later was able to jump a personal-best 178 1/2 in the long jump to qualify for state. The pain was worse last weekend, however, and she had to withdraw from the competition after her first jump in the final. She tied for ninth (17-1 1/2). “It hurts really bad,” Small said. “My second jump I just pushed it too hard and it went downhill from there.”

and performed well in the meet that matters the most.” Injuries hindered Big Walnut’s Tyler Fifer and Olivia Small last weekend. Fifer, a senior who has two torn ligaments in his left ankle, finished 12th (6-2) in the Division I boys high jump. He had cleared a personal-best 6-10 earlier this year and had qualified for state by going 6-4 at regional May 27 but sustained the injury during a practice before regional. “I had a good season, but obviously I wasn’t healthy and wasn’t able to compete with these guys,” Fifer said. “Everyone here is top class.

Financial finesse

Wedding planning on a budget Your wedding day may be one you have dreamed about your entire life. In those dreams, it’s likely that no expense was spared in making the event memorable for you and your guests. When it comes time to actually plan your wedding, however, you’ll likely be operating on a much tighter budget than you had in those dreams. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to make the event spectacular without spending a small fortune. In addition to the following tips, research will yield many books and online resources devoted to this topic. • Schedule your wedding out of season. There’s no right or wrong time to plan your wedding, but there are dates that are more popular, and thus more expensive. Avoiding the early summer and early fall months makes it easier to negotiate lower prices with vendors. Additionally, Fridays and Sundays tend to be less expensive than Saturdays. • Choose a nontraditional venue for your ceremony or reception. Holding your event in a backyard, park, on public grounds or in another location that doesn’t specialize in hosting weddings is both unique and can be a big cost-saver. Remember, however, to take into consideration the cost of tables, chairs and other rentals. • Don’t spend a lot on invitations. Couples may think the invitation sets the tone for the wedding, but the reality is, guests rarely remember the invite after opening the envelope. Consider cutting costs by choosing less expensive invitations or even making your own. For the response card, opt for a postcard or even an electronic reply on one of the popular wedding websites to save even more. • Get your friends and family involved. There are likely some very talented people in your circle of friends. Tap them to be part of your special day. You can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by asking your friends to fill important roles such as photographer, DJ and florist.

• Find something borrowed. Friends and family may have centerpieces, apparel or other items from their wedding that they would be honored to loan you for yours. Ask around. • Purchase in season. MICHELLE When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will be in JOHNSON season on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likely have more beautiful arrangements. The same principle works with menu planning. Look for local and in-season foods when deciding what you’ll serve at the reception. • Negotiate. Don’t hesitate to ask for a discount from your vendors and suppliers. In a tough economy, they may be willing to offer you great rates to get your business. And there’s no harm in asking. • Rent what you can’t afford to buy. Although most brides opt to purchase and store their wedding dress after the big day, few ever wear or do anything with the gown again. By renting, you can wear a designer dress for a fraction of the cost of purchasing. • Reduce the size of your guest list and wedding party. Scrutinize your guest list and consider limiting the number of your attendants. Scaling back can help you save on the cost of invitations, favors, meals and more. • Make wedding purchases with a rewards card. Rather than writing a check, consider using a credit card that rewards you with frequent-flier miles, hotel points or even cash back. Depending on how much you spend, the rewards could help defray the cost of your honeymoon travel. For additional financial assistance, contact Michelle Johnson, financial center manager with Fifth Third Bank. She welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions. Please feel free to contact her at 614-492-8888 or MichelleA.Johnson@53.com.
