Otterbein pressing for Kilgore cleanup By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Representatives from Otterbein University hope to soon see a judicial consent decree from the federal government that will allow cleanup to proceed on the final 40 acres of the former Kilgore Manufacturing site, 600 N. Spring Road. The university and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) held

a public meeting June 7, after ThisWeek’s press deadline, to update nearby residents on the cleanup process. Kilgore Manufacturing opened in 1941 to make bombs for the American military. After World War II, the company manufactured toy cap guns, pyrotechnics and illuminating flares. The factory closed in 1961 and the property was donated to Otterbein in 1962. The university previously worked with

the EPA to clean the western 70 acres of the site, on which the university’s new equine center now stands. But the eastern 40 acres remain badly contaminated, university spokeswoman Jennifer Pearce said prior to the June 7 meeting. “The 70 acres, when Kilgore Manufacturing was there, they didn’t bury a lot on the front half of the property, they buried it all to the back (40 acres),” Pearce

said. “When Kilgore packed up and left, they literally blew stuff up and buried it.” In 2008, the university filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense, claiming that the government told the university the site had been decontaminated when it was donated to the school. The suit claimed flares, artillery rounds and fuses for grenades were found on the land in the mid 1990s and that highly reactive materials remain on the land.

Bridge expected to open before fall classes start

Trek opens new store along bike path

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Despite heavy spring rains, construction is on track to wrap up on time on the West Main Street bridge over Alum Creek. The road should be ready to reopen before Otterbein University resumes classes for the fall on Aug. 29, Franklin County Engineer Jim Pajk said. “The weather has been an issue. It has slowed them down as far as some of the work out there, but it’s nothing that has set anything back quite a bit,” Pajk said. “It hasn’t caused delays to the point where we feel like it’s going to go into September or October.” And with the recent sunny weather, construction crews have been able to pick up the pace of the work and make up for some of the ground that was lost in April and May, he said. The county is determined to finish the bridge before classes resume for Otterbein because the

Cyclists won’t have to venture far off the beaten path to visit Westerville’s newest bike shop. Trek Bicycle Store has opened at 5985 Maxtown Road, right on the bike path in Northgate Plaza. The Westerville location is one of three Columbus Trek bicycle stores. The Westerville location was moved from Hamilton Road in Gahanna, allowing the store to integrate into a community. “I can’t tell you how excited I am and the staff is to be there,” owner Chris Bishop said. “It’s really nice to be in a community.” Another advantage to the new location is the proximity to the bike path, he said. Westerville made sense as a location, Bishop said, because the city is cyclistfriendly and places an emphasis on developing a good path system. “We’re right on the bike path. That’s the No. 1 thing,” Bishop said. “Westerville, of all the communities in Columbus, seems to be leading the way in terms of bike path development.” So far, Bishop said, the store has had a good reception in Westerville, bringing in old customers, people coming to see the location and cyclists who were eager for the new location to open. “It’s been awesome. We’ve had all sorts of people coming in off

The suit demands that the government take some responsibility in the cleanup. No timeline has been set for a ruling on the case, but Pearce said the university expects a consent decree to be issued soon. The consent decree would lay out who is responsible for different elements of the cleanup process. “Until we get to that point, we can’t

bridge project has severed a portion of the campus, Pajk said. For the last year, Otterbein has run a shuttle bus to get students and staff from one side of the closed bridge to the other, and Pajk said the county does not want the university to have to coordinate shuttle service for the start of the next academic year. “We don’t want to get the shuttle service back up and running again. That’s just more coordination, and we don’t want to run a shuttle for two weeks,” he said. Currently, construction crews are working to get the form up for the bridge deck, as well as forms for the span’s girders. “It’s starting to look more like a bridge now,” Pajk said. “They’re going to start to see the arches more now; it’s starting to take shape.” When the bridge reopens to traffic at the end of summer, there See BRIDGE, page B2

Atwell: Crochet tree is symbol of help, hope By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Diagnosed with colon cancer earlier this year, Bonnie Atwell found herself sliding into depression as she sat at home, recovering from surgery. Her sister, Debbie Mitchell, with whom she lives in Westerville, wanted to find a way for Atwell to steer her energy in a positive direction.

“She was going through this tough time of coping with the fact that she found herself with this struggle of cancer. She wanted to just find something that would keep her busy,” Mitchell said. “I just noticed she was getting into a funk.” Looking around online, Mitchell found photos from artists who had crocheted coverings for trees in public spaces. Mitchell suggested that Atwell crochet the tree in front of her business, Serendipity, 33 E. Col-

Hanby House was identified as being nationally significant by the National Park Service in a 1995 study, but it was not included in the Network to Freedom when in was created in 1998, said Bill Merriman, president of the Westerville Historical Society. “It seemed odd to some folks that a 13-year-old program, at this

CROCHET COVERING Continued from page A1

By Eric George/ThisWeek

While recovering from colon cancer surgery this spring, Bonnie Atwell (left) crocheted a covering for a tree in front of her sister, Debbie Mitchell’s, shop in Westerville. The shop, called Serendipity, is at 33 E. College Ave.

trunk. She’s now planning to crochet a stem along one side of the tree and to knit and crochet flowers to adorn the tree. “I enjoy crocheting and knitting anyway. This kept my mind occupied and kept my mind off of what I was going through at the time,” Atwell said. “If I had just sat around the house worrying about it, I think stress makes things worse.” Before starting the project, Atwell was dealing with an infection at her surgery site and had been told she would have to undergo chemotherapy. Now, she said, she will go through some clinical trials for new drugs but won’t need chemotherapy. “Once I got this going, the healing just seems to have gone together so much better,” she said. Mitchell said she also noticed a positive change in her sister once she began the project. “Once she started doing the tree, I saw a turnaround in her. It’s almost like a survival tree,” Mitchell said. “Now she’s getting excited about adding the different arms to it; every time she finds a different color for it, she gets really excited about it.” There’s been a positive public reaction to the tree, as well, Mitchell and Atwell said. “Everybody seems to love it, and the kids seem to come up and give the tree a hug,” Atwell said. “When I’m working on it, people will stop and say they love it.” Atwell said she hopes the tree brightens people’s moods when they see it. “I used bright colors to help brighten the mood, so hopefully, it will bring a smile to someone’s face,” she said. “It was such a pleasure to get involved and do that, and I hope people get some enjoyment out of it.” She also said she hopes the tree will help bring hope to others facing personal battles, whether it’s cancer or something else. “I would like to hope that people going through any type of issue like that, it will help them

stop and think, keep themselves motivated not to just sit, because that’s what gets them down,” Atwell said. “Keep your mind going on other things because it tremendously helps the healing process.” Mitchell said she’s proud of her sister for the strength she has found through her project. “She still has awhile to go with her recovery, but she is doing so

much better. She’s starting to feel like she’s getting back to normal. It’s just a long road. It’s just hard news for someone when you hear that you have cancer,” Mitchell said. “I’m just so proud of her. I’m just proud of her and how she’s doing. … I want her to look at herself as a survivor.” jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

This is Westerville Square today.

Already approved by the Westerville Planning commission, and with final approval by the Westerville City Council and your support,

THIS CAN BE WESTERVILLE SQUARE NEXT YEAR! Renovation plans already approved by Westerville Planning Commission! After nearly 1 year of negotiations and dozens of changes, the new and improved Westerville Square is about to take root as the city’s most exciting and dramatic transformation, subject to ratification by City Council. The Hadler Companies have adopted nearly every request made by Planning Commission, all with the common goal of making the center the best it can be, including these specific changes: • The Hadler Companies has agreed to pay 100% of the costs of adding a turn lane on Schrock Road to help ease traffic concerns. • A 10-foot tall Acousticrete® sound wall will be constructed along the rear property line. The surface will appear as red brick to continue the architectural design. • The Hadler Companies have agreed to provide an easement for the rear truck lane to become a public road if the City desires this in the future. • The existing concrete block walls at the rear of each store will be covered in red brick to create four-sided architectural appeal. • The existing car wash building will be torn down and provide permanent green space for the center. • Abundant landscaping throughout the center, and preservation of existing green space park-like improvements along State Street to be accented by $75,000 investment in “public art” to add charm and character to both the center and the commercial corridor. • Custom traditional-style architecture, consistent with other newer buildings on State Street. • Low brick walls added to State Street, Schrock Road and Otterbein Avenue, consistent with Westerville’s streetscape improvement plans. • Goodyear Tire, Taco Bell and Lucky House Chinese Restaurant will be repainted to better match the design of the newly renovated center. • Right-in and right-out medians will be installed at several access points along Schrock Road and Otterbein Avenue. The parking lot will be totally redone to include new lighting, landscaping and pavement. The Hadler Companies and Walmart have agreed to invest an additional $1 Million in enhancing the center as requested by Planning Commission. Both companies are committed to making Westerville Square the best shopping destination it can for the benefit of Westerville community residents for many years to come.

How will this new anchor tenant impact Westerville?

Benefits to the Residents: Huge Visual Improvement! As the South State Street’s most visible commercial intersection, the redevelopment of Westerville Square will enhance the entire commercial corridor between I-270 and Uptown Westerville. Construction jobs will commence immediately to be followed by permanent jobs. More Money for Westerville Schools! The City School district will benefit from higher real estate taxes putting less pressure on the need for expensive levies for Westerville homeowners. This is especially timely as school districts face diminished funding from the State of Ohio as the legislature attempts to balance the State budget! Jobs, Revenues, Jobs! In the very near future a small army of workers will be employed by contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, sign companies and the like. Construction job payrolls will be taxed according to Westerville’s local income tax rate, meaning more income to the city – all at a time when State of Ohio subsidies to municipalities like Westerville are facing dramatic cuts. And construction workers will be purchasing meals and patronizing local businesses as a matter of convenience. Better Quality Shopping Experience! With the addition of groceries and general merchandise, Westerville Square will offer everything residents need on a weekly basis, and within walking or bicycle distance for many. Virtually everybody agrees the old tired Center needs to be updated, and Walmart is the only anchor tenant that was willing to fill the void when Big Bear and Lazarus became vacant. This impressive redevelopment would not be possible without this new anchor tenant!

The Hadler Companies will host an InfORmatIOn CenteR loc d 14 W s rvill Squ r , in the former HR Block office, on the west side of the c r ci g S S r , o frid y, Ju 17, ro 5:00 Pm o 8:00 Pm, d S urd y & Su d y, Ju 18 & 19, ro 2:00 Pm o 5:00 Pm. Current architectural renderings and drawings of the propos d r d v lop o W s rvill Squ r will b o displ y. th y will lso b o displ y : www.W s rvill Squ r .co

There are other significant benefits of serving as the anchor tenant for Westerville Square: • Lower prices on a huge selection of merchandise and food, allowing younger families and retirees to stretch their monthly income to buy more merchandise for less cash. • One stop shopping for daily essentials for many within walking or bicycle distance, which is good for the environment and likely to be even more important as the price of gasoline continues to spike. • The new store will add approximately 250 new jobs to the community, each paying local income tax. • At half the size of a typical Superstore, this is clearly a neighborhood store. • Less noise, less traffic and less pollution with their state of the art distribution facilities. They permit fewer deliveries than competing stores of similar size and product offering, projected to be just two trucks per day. • The increased valuation of the nearly $14 million renovation project will add to the commercial tax base and result in greater tax income, benefitting the Westerville School District. • This new store merely replaces the anchor tenants that were previously located at Westerville Square. With the new anchor tenant, the tired old center will become a true asset to the community as was intended when built in 1968. • Walmart alone was willing to become the vital anchor tenant that Westerville Square needs to support the multi-million dollar reinvestment in the property • 24-Hour convenience for late night needs when other stores are closed. This means when you need it now, it will be available.

First of all, the center as it exists today could not be remodeled unless one or more new anchor tenants could be secured to replace the former anchor tenants. The former Big Bear food store relocated further west on Schrock Road to build a bigger store, and the Lazarus store was closed when the company built larger stores at Easton and Polaris. To be fair, Walmart has its critics. None of us has to shop at there if we prefer other stores. But they have become the largest and most successful retailer in the world, and only because their stores are popular with customers. Because of their tremendous purchasing power and huge investment in technology, they pass on the savings to customers in the form of lower prices. As far as competition with other local business owners goes, competition is always challenging, and ultimately the customer decides where they will shop. Remember when our town was full of independent grocers, hardware stores, and pharmacies? The strong retail chains essentially drove most of them out of business, due to lack of competitive pricing, smaller assortment of merchandise, and because of an inferior location. This is the nature of retailing, and certainly not unique to them. The impact they have on a community varies widely. Business owners in small rural towns tend to feel it more than larger towns, but in truth, the poor economy the nation is experiencing today has a far greater affect in negatively impacting their business. Businesses that adapt and reinvest prosper, and those that don’t will fail over time, regardless of their competition. Many Northwest Columbus residents feared the new Walmart Super Store at Carriage Place Shopping Center (Sawmill and Bethel Roads) would wreak havoc for other businesses in the neighborhood, but that didn’t happen. Not one store was forced to close because of them. Before they opened, Carriage Place was half empty due to the bankruptcies of Drug Emporium and Big Bear Foods. Smaller stores were struggling at best, or closing. The center is now 100% occupied and the tenants are thriving. That’s the positive effect they have on shopping, and it happens time and time again. The same will be true for Westerville Square for exactly the same reason. Merchants in shopping centers rely on anchor tenants who sell essential household items and advertise aggressively. More importantly, Westerville Square is zoned for retail uses like this, and the community cannot legally keep this new anchor tenant out any more than they can keep out Kroger, Meijer, or any other comparable merchant. They are simply filling the void left by the departed anchor stores that were already here.

If you support this redevelopment, we encourage you to contact the Westerville City Council representatives and let them know your opinions.

To the editor: While many communities talk about the need for teamwork, the folks of Westerville truly collaborate to get things done. The recent Westerville Community Prayer Breakfast was sponsored by more than 65 organizations who share the common value of helping others in need. Following that, more than three tons of food was donated by Westerville residents through the “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive conducted by the Postal Service workers. The donated food represents more than 6,000 meals used to help alleviate hunger in our area. The proceeds from The Westerville Community Prayer Breakfast are being directly used to provide programs and services which foster economic, emotional and spiritual well-being to individuals and families in the Westerville school district. WARM is proud to serve as a catalyst to bring key resources like these together to help our neighbors in need. Thank you for caring and partnering with us as we work together restoring dignity and hope with a “hand-up.”

ications. Last month, the savings to county residents exceeded $2 million, making Franklin County is the first county in Ohio and the 33rd in the nation to reach this mark. The program is available to Franklin County as a member of the National Association of Counties (NACo). Cards are available at most public buildings, including libraries, county buildings and senior centers. They also come in Spanish. Residents can print a card online or request one be mailed to them at www.franklincountyohio.gov/rx. This program offers real savings to people that need it. Families without health care coverage, or who have gaps in their coverage, are able to save almost a quarter of the cost of their prescription. As we pull ourselves out of this recession, this program is helping people get the medication they need and still put food on the dinner table. The cards may be used by county residents, regardless of age, income or existing health coverage, and are accepted at most of the county’s pharmacies. A national network of more than 57,000 participating retail pharmacies also honors the Franklin County Prescription Drug Discount card. This card is free and easy to use. Simply present it at point of purchase, and you instantly receive savings. No ID is needed, and it works almost everywhere. I urge those not participating to pick up a card today and take advantage of an average savings of 24 percent on prescription drugs.

To the editor: I feel compelled to write concerning this past weekend’s graduation ceremony for Westerville South High School. If the commencement begins at 6 p.m., please arrive prior to that time. Arriving at 6:30 p.m. is a disruption to what should be a dignified ceremony. Please be respectful when we recite the pledge of allegiance and sing our national anthem. Please sit down! Ushers would have helped, but I sure didn’t see any. My family arrived early with our graduate and chose what we thought were good seats in the bleacher section. Many, many people arrived late (with lots of balloon bouquets) and didn’t bother to take a seat. Instead, they stood in the entrance and talked and laughed throughout the entire ceremony. Several parents asked them to be quiet, but to no avail. Leave the horns and noisemakers at home for your own party. Administration asked that audience members refrain from such things and you need to oblige. As one parent put it: It was a circus atmosphere. One way to prevent this from happening at a future graduation ceremony is to limit the number of tickets each graduate receives and move to a smaller venue. Let’s make this a special ceremony for graduates and their families. Thank you to those in attendance who did what was asked: Those of us who stood to recognize our child, those of us who were seated until the graduates processed out, those of us who didn’t talk and walk around the entire time and those of us who were respectful while 339 graduates received their diplomas.

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 360-degree 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.

Off the trail but not off track

ThisWeek Community Newspapers Westerville

Page A7

Off the beaten path but not off track Continued from page A6 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 that one might 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 pretty-good-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 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?” I think my cousin has it right.

It was sink or swim for fifth-graders at Annehurst Elementary on June 4. After creating homemade boats — from Styrofoam noodles, PVC pipes, duct tape and empty buckets — students faced off in the 27th annual Annehurst Regatta. The event pits teams of two fifth-graders against one another as they compete to see who can make it across Annehurst Community Pool the fastest. Students in other grades at the school watch the event and cheer on the teams. “It’s just a lot of fun,” said fifth grade teacher Marsha Seifker. “Half the fun is just seeing if (the boat) will float.” The regatta stemmed from a science project for which students built boats and tried to make it across Annehurst pool in them, said Ginny Mack, who has volunteered at the pool since the regatta’s inception. “It’s evolved to being bigger, and the other kids come to watch it,” Mack said. The boats have certain restrictions: No in-

flatable objects can be used, students aren’t permitted to kick their way across the pool, and there are restrictions on the size of the paddles and the boats. Mack said most students now craft their boats using pool noodles, but before the noodles became popular, students had to get creative in building their boats. “The joke was: How much duct tape could one boat hold?” Mack said. “They used to have to be really ingenious.” Students still work hard on the boats, Seifker said. Participation in the event is optional, and students who choose to do so get together after school with their partners to work on the boats. Alicia Olson said her daughter,Alivia Olson, and teammate Deon Raines tested their boat in the waters of Alum Creek to make sure they wouldn’t sink on the day of the big race. “We went to the beach and tried it twice,” Olson said. “They did make it across; they didn’t sink.” Olson said her husband helped her daughter create the craft, which included 33 noodles and plenty of duct tape.

Because younger students watch the regatta each year, they look forward to participating in the regatta when they reach fifth grade, Seifker said. “We invite kindergarten through fourth, so they all get really excited about it,” she said. “It’s really a rite of passage.” Olson said that certainly was the case for her daughter. “She’s been looking forward to this for a couple of years, at least,” Olson said. “They know what’s coming.” Seifker said teachers incorporate the regatta into classes in small ways. An engineer was scheduled to come in and talk about boat construction after the regatta, she said, and a representative from the Westerville Division of Fire talked to students about water safety. Seifker said teachers plan to keep the regatta tradition going strong next year, despite the fact that school will end before Memorial Day, when the Annehurst pool opens for the year. She said pool officials said they’ll have the facility ready. “It will be a little chilly, but we’ll try,” she said.

HANBY Continued from page A1 housed in a barn behind the house by William Hanby and his son, Benjamin. According to the application for the Network to Freedom, as many as 420 slaves were aided by the stop on the Underground Railroad. The house was moved farther north on Home Street in the late 19th century. By the late 1920s, the house was vacant and in disrepair and was scheduled to be demolished because of its status as an eyesore. It was purchased by Dacia Shoemaker in 1927. With the support of the Ohio Historical Society and donations from Westerville residents and organizations, Shoemaker was able to rehabilitate the house and move it to its current location. It was dedicated in 1937, with Shoemaker serving as its first curator. The Ohio Historical Society ran the site until 1981, when daily operations were taken over by the Westerville Historical Society. Since then, the Hanby House has operated as a museum, staffed by volunteers and funded primarily through local money. Merriman said its recent recognition shows the historical importance of Westerville. “It really underscores the rather unique history of Westerville,” he said.

OTTERBEIN Continued from page A1 finalize any sort of cleanup plan,” Ohio EPA spokeswoman Erin Strouse said. The EPA does know further studies will be needed to determine what contaminates have been left behind. Previous studies have shown eight areas of concern on the eastern 40 acres, Strouse said. “They’re going to be the focus of our investigation, of our cleanup areas,” she said. “We would be looking for that sort of material, those sort of potential contaminates that would have been used in pyrotechnics, illuminated flares.” Those studies also will help determine what kind of future uses the land could be used for, if it can be decontaminated enough, Pearce said. Currently, Otterbein has no plans for the site, she said. The land likely could remain greenspace, Pearce said, because it is filled with difficult-to-develop wetlands that carry their own environmental protections. Even if the land is not slated for future development, Pearce said, the university is determined to see it cleaned up. “It’s the right thing to do for future generations. It’s a monkey we’ve had on our backs since we inherited the property. If it’s cleaned up, (neighbors) don’t have to worry about it,” she said. “The EPA feels it’s the right thing to do.” Strouse and Pearce said the

still will be some work going on, mostly on items requested by the city of Westerville. That includes work on the parking lot of the Westerville Senior Center and the driveway to Alum Creek Park North, Pajk said. “Those things may still have some work going on, but the roadway and the bridge will be open by that point,” he said. All work related to the recon-

EPA and the university are committed to keeping the public informed about the cleanup efforts as the process moves forward. “We’ve heard remarks from neighbors in the past: ‘Hey, before you start digging around, let us know what’s going on,’” Pearce said. “There are a lot of new neighbors there who don’t know what’s gone on there in the past.” Though there has been little action on the site in recent years, Strouse said the EPA wants to let residents know what has been going on behind the scenes.

“Just because the community hasn’t seen any action taking place, it doesn’t mean there isn’t any action taking place behind the scenes as far as negotiations,” she said. “The bottom line is, we’re still learning. We want to inform the public of the process and take their questions and try to provide a little history of the site and try to communicate that we’re at the early stages of this, still investigating.” jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

BICYCLE SHOP Continued from page A1 the bike path,” he said. “As an owner, any time you move a store, you get a little nervous because you don’t want to alienate your existing customers.” The 5,500-square-foot store focuses on selling Trek brand bicycles. “We focus about 90 percent of our bicycles on Trek brands or Trek bicycles,” Bishop said. “When people come in, they can have a really good experience in terms of our staff knowing the brand really well.” The store also carries other

brands, including MirraCo, Seven Cycles, Transition and Moots, as well as bicycling gear. It includes a service center for bicycles. Bishop said the store has offerings for beginners up to advanced riders and from tricycles up to more serious bicycles. “We have stuff for kids, like tricycles, youth bikes; we have city and path bikes. Any first-time biker can come in,” he said. “We have stuff from the first-timers all the way up to a Lance wannabe.” Trek organizes bike rides, including a Friday “Paths to Pub” ride that leaves the store at 6 p.m. and travels to an Uptown restau-

rant for drinks and appetizers, Bishop said. The store is working on organizing a Sunday morning fun ride. In May, the shop organized a community bike ride for Genoa Township, and on Oct. 8, Trek will hold its sixth annual Breast Cancer Awareness ride. That tour features rides of different lengths — from a five-mile family fun ride to a 50-mile ride — with the $25 entry fee going entirely toward the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Out of Africa. Without going out of Ohio.

If you’re looking for an exotic travel experience, start by exploring your own backyard. At the Wilds, rare and endangered animals roam freely on 10,000 rolling acres. And while these colorful species can be entertaining to observe, they’re also very enlightening. In fact, cutting-edge conservation and crucial environmental education programs provide research that can help save animal species the world over. Plan your own safari adventure at the Wilds, and discover just how far something so close can take you.

“There is no other place on earth like the Wilds.”

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

FAB 5 By Jim Fischer

jfischer@thisweeknews.com When the planned local pro-

1 duction of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance fell victim to the company’s recent restructuring, CAPA was able to secure the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players to present the same classic light opera for the same dates: June 10-12 at the Southern Theatre. (Meanwhile, CAPA and Opera Columbus will get to work on fashioning the model of a modern opera company.) Pirates is a masterwork for sure, finding the composer and lyricist at the top of their considerable game — clever, engaging, incisive and a frolicsome good time. Tickets are $102.50-$10. Call (614) 469-0939.

bison show is the biggest yet, as the lovely and talented Mrs. Robison — the smashing and smooth country singer Kelly Willis — is sharing the bill this time. Kelly’s out of semi-retirement for a few marital-bliss shows this summer; expect a show both playful and poignant. Tickets are $30. Call (614) 5656130.

Robert Plant and the Band of Joy plays the Palace Theatre Monday, June 13. Plant revived the name of his pre-Zeppelin outfit for his current project, one that boasts a lineup sure to thrive in the folk-rock legacy of the original.

that he’s able to do what he does for a living. No, literally. Aside from his catchy nickname (more on that later) and one-of-a-kind licks and riffs, doing back flips and other stage gymnastics is what Shorty’s known for. Shorty started doing the flips when he was in his teens, encouraged by one of his mentors, Guitar Slim, to add some showmanship to his performances. That was in the 1950s. He’ll still do a flip today at age 71. “I just like to have myself some fun,” he told The Beat. “But you can’t get too excited, and you have to do it in time, in rhythm. If the band is going crazy and they don’t know what’s coming, well, one time I ended up with my right arm in a sling.” Shorty tells the story of his influence on a young Jimi Hendrix (Shorty would befriend and later marry Jimi’s half-sister), of whom Shorty said, “Jimi would go AWOL from his Army base to catch my local shows. He told me the reason he started setting his guitar on fire was because he couldn’t do the back flips like I did. “I’m up there to entertain and make the fans happy,” Shorty told The Beat. Born David Kearney in Houston, Texas, and raised by his grandmother in Kissimmee, Fla., Shorty attempted to follow in his uncle’s footsteps as a guitar player. As a 6-year-old, Shorty said, he would sneak into his uncle’s room once he’d gone to work and try to play the guitar, until one day he’d just about given up. “I was kicking it and slamming the strings. I told my grandmother ‘I hate that guitar,’” he said. “My grandmother asked my uncle, ‘Will you teach that boy to play

guitar before I kill him?’” Long hours on his uncle’s knee gave way to a gig with a local band — but being a kid in a band full of adults also meant he was the shortest member of the band. A club owner laid the moniker Guitar Shorty on him then, and it stuck. His reputation was growing as well, and he caught the ear of blues master Willie Dixon and that of Ray Charles, who hired him and with whom he spent a year on the road, still in his teens. In the 1950s and ’60s, Shorty toured and recorded the occasional single. He moved to the Los Angeles area in the ’70s, and played gigs with every blues star, including B.B. King, Johnny Copeland and T-Bone Walker. But it wasn’t until the ’90s that he began a serious recording career. His new CD, Bare Knuckles,

is his seventh — third for Alligator Records. “I still enjoy what I’m doing,” he said. “I’m thankful every day for the gift to be able to do this.” Shorty admitted that most of his trademark licks are recorded live rather than rehearsed. Still, the studio is no substitute for the stage. “Stuff just comes to me while I’m playing. The same song tonight and tomorrow night is not going to sound the same,” he explained. “If you do the same thing over and over, it’s like eating the same food all the time — it gets stale. “If you can’t be creative, you’re wasting your time. That’s what music’s all about.” ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Guitar Shorty, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com/blogs.

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

cheese. Rimming the plate of regal greens are warm prosciutto-wrapped dates that bring smooth and chewy, sweet and meaty contrasts. Like all specials (including a nifty P.L.T.: pancetta, lettuce and tomato salad

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.

his eyes on the Chase bank crowd in Westerville, where employees number in the 2,000 range. He hopes reasonable prices — no single dish tops $9 — and quick service should get people in the door. “To keep my concept working, I need the volume,” he said, noting that a full liquor license is in place. Banquet space will be used for large parties or spillover seating during restaurant hours. Patio seating also will be added. Nanak, which got its start in Bethel Center, has been long known for its quality, natural desserts. When Soltanirad and Tajik relocated to Westerville in late 2009, Nguyen opened his second Lac Viet in their Bethel Road storefront. Nanak offered a menu of savory items until recently. Soltanirad said it was too difficult to run the bakery and a separate eatery, so he brought in Nguyen. “I know him. 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. Lac Viet is open for lunch and dinner hours six days a week, closed Sunday. For more information, call 614-882-0588.

in the University District, he now operates Johnny Oak’s Cajun BBQ at the corner of High and Gay streets downtown. Oak said he’s there from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. His specialties are blackened beef brisket, pulled pork, rib tips — offered as sandwiches or part of a platter — and a smattering of sides, which change frequently. Incidentally, Oak said he got his start on a food truck at Central and McKinley avenues on the West Side of Columbus. Great China has opened in the old Fuddruckers location at 3586 W. Dublin-Granville Road, just east of Sawmill Road. The place offers a full Chinese menu (and a traditional menu for those who ask), plus a few Thai and Japanese dishes, said manager Brad Tsai. Great China seats 120 in roughly 5,000 square feet of space. The restaurant has a full liquor license. It is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call 614336-2465.

After 21 years in business, the Wine Vault on Sawmill Road has closed. The last day was Saturday, June 4. Manager John Smither, who had been there 16 years, chalked it up to fierce competition, particularly from the chains. “The pie’s not any bigger and it’s getting split Barbecue veteran Johnny Oak has returned to the mobile food business. In addition to his store thinner and thinner,” he said.

Jackson said. “He probably would have made his move with about two laps to go for the win, but the loss of the shoe made him sit back longer than he would have. It was a rough break to a great career. Hopefully, he will go on to do greater things.” Hannaford, an Ohio State recruit, began his final state meet by teaming with seniors Kevin

DeSales captures Division II state title By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Adam Cairns/ThisWeek

Zak DeCamp (16) of DeSales gets a hug from teammate Jack Miller as the Stallions celebrate DeCamp’s two-run, go-ahead home run in the sixth inning of a 9-8 victory over Akron Hoban in the Division II state final June 4 at Huntington Park.

When first baseman Brad Bohus of the DeSales High School baseball team scooped up a throw from shortstop Brennan Schlabig for the final out of a 9-8 win over Akron Hoban in the Division II state championship game June 4 at Huntington Park, what had started out as a rebuilding year had turned out to be much more. The Stallions, who captured their first state title since 1979, lacked senior leadership and a dominant ace on their pitching staff, and nearly all of the players on the roster were new to varsity at the start of the season. None of which seemed to matter. “We kept preaching that we don’t have to be the best team in the state to win the state championship,” said coach Tom Neubert, whose team finished 219. “We just have to be better than who we match up with on a given day and be better for those seven innings. I don’t know if they listen to me or if they believe in the things I say, but this has changed the way I view the tournament.” The season began with a 12-2, fiveinning loss to Olentangy on March 28.

State Track & Field Notes

Division I boys pole vault battle highlighted meet From staff reports

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 Collinwood’s Christina Estrict in 2000. •ALSO JUMPING TO A TITLE — 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 Rogers’ Erik Kynard Jr. •STATE-RECORD RUN — New Albany’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. •BATTLING THROUGH INJURY — 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. “Turf toe may not sound that serious, but it’s an injury that can be devastating to a track athlete because it makes every step you take painful,” coach Roger Whittaker said. “Lynnsey didn’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 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. And if you’re not healthy, you can’t compete with them. It was hard enough for me just to walk. I just tried to suck it up and do what I could do. I don’t like to make excuses, but it was hurting.” 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 17-8 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. It bothers me because if I would’ve jumped my (personal best) I would’ve been (eighth). It’s just hard.” •RELAY RECORD FALLS — Bexley senior Elijah Scott, junior D.J. Jones, freshman Rasheed Morgan and junior Jalen Robinette became the first Lions athletes to score in the Division II state boys meet since 2007, placing fifth (1:30.16) in the 800 relay on June 4. In the June 3 preliminaries, the relay broke a 42-year-old school record with a time of 1:29.81. “We were close to the school record early in the season,” Jones said. “We came into the meet (thinking) we’d be happy if we got the school record or made it into the finals. We ended up doing both.”

The boys pole vault competition in the Division I state track and field meet June 4 at Ohio State featured three athletes who have held the state record. In a battle between Olentangy Liberty High School senior twins Chris Uhle and Joey Uhle and Gahanna junior Jake Blankenship, it was the youngest of the trio who left with the championship. Chris Uhle, the defending champion after vaulting a thenstate-record 16 feet, 9 inches last year, ended up third as Blankenship went 17-0 to capture the title. Joey Uhle finished second (16-6), followed by Chris Uhle (16-0). “Having three state recordholders competing at state in the pole vault has definitely never happened in the past and may never happen again,” Joey Uhle said. “This was a fun year to compete in the pole vault because all three of us pushed each other all year.” Blankenship went 16-10 in the OCC-Ohio Division meet May 14, but Joey Uhle vaulted 17-0 on May 21 in the district 2 meet at Hilliard Bradley. “Whenever the three of us compete, it always goes back and forth between us, and I was fortunate to win on this day,” Blank-enship said. “It feels good to win, but we’re all like a family and we’re happy for each other no matter who wins. I really wanted to clear 17 feet for the first time and I couldn’t have done it without Joey and Chris pushing me.” •MORE TITLES COMING? — 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. •GRADUATION COMPLICATIONS — As if the Uhle brothers did not have enough to worry about on June 4, Liberty’s commencement ceremony 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. “Mr. Helfrich was one of my favorite teachers, so I asked him if he could walk for me and get my diploma,” Chris Uhle said. “He was really honored to do that for me. He texted me afterward and said, ‘I finally graduated.’” Olentangy’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. “I think they’re really looking out for me,” Anunike said. “It’s always a real nice thing to have ‘Tangy’ backing you up.” •SOARING TO A NEW RECORD — Medina senior www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Brian Hannaford of North shows his disappointment as he leaves the track with the help of Ohio State trainer Courtney Siegel after losing his shoe and sustaining an injury when another runner stepped on his heel during the state meet on June 4.

TRACK Continued from page D1 awards podium by finishing third in the 800 (1:52.72). “I went into the 800 expecting to get fifth, so I’m pretty happy with third,” he said. Also competing at state was junior Joey Wilkin, who finished 16th in the 110 hurdles (15.14) in his first state appearance. “It was definitely a good experience,” Wilkin said. “I’m just blessed to be here. It wasn’t what I was looking for, but it was a fun experience, so I can’t complain that much.” The boys team scored eight points at state to tie four teams for 30th behind champion Cincinnati La Salle (36) as 78 teams scored. The girls team did not have any state qualifiers. •The 800 relay of seniors Dominique Cook and Dillon Seckman and juniors Channing Doermann and Davon Reed turned in the highest finish for the Central boys team, plac-

The Upper Arlington girls swimming team won its seventh consecutive Division I state title as senior Abby Chin captured four titles. Also in girls swimming, Pickerington Central sophomore Maddie Martin won her

second consecutive title in the Division I 100-yard butterfly and Natalie Ritter of Academy won the Division II diving title. Canal Winchester’s Sam Decker won the boys 100 freestyle in Division II. Hartley won the Division II state girls track title with two relays finishing first. Other girls first-place finishers were Charlotte Myers of Bexley, Taneisha Cordell of New Albany and Emily Morris of Ready. Aaliyah Barnes of Eastmoor won the 100 and 200 meters in Division II and Destinee

Gause of Reynoldsburg did the same in Division I, leading the Raiders to their third consecutive Division I state championship. All in all, it was another year of thrills and excitement, and another one is just more than two months away. I’ll see you at a game.

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

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 fifthlowest 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.

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 tournament 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.

“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.” kadams@thisweeknews.com As Stricker came off the 18th www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

DeSales pitcher Kelsey Seeds fights back tears as she congratulates Keystone players after the Stallions’ 5-3 loss in a Division II state semifinal June 2 at Firestone Stadium in Akron.

DeSales Roundup

Early grand slam dooms softball team at state By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The DeSales High School softball team couldn’t overcome one swing in a 5-3 loss to LaGrange Keystone in a Division II state semifinal on June 2 at Akron Firestone Stadium. Keystone’s Bri Buckley hit a grand slam off pitcher Kelsey Seeds in the top of the first inning to give Keystone a 4-0 lead. “When (Buckley) came up, Kelsey threw a great curveball to the outside corner,” said coach Julie Barber, whose team finished 26-4. “We truly need to give the young lady from Keystone credit on a great swing.” Seeds, a four-year starter, walked Keystone’s Alexis Sanislow and Bee Shaw and allowed a single to Kenzie Conrad to load the bases. Buckley, Keystone’s No. 5 hitter, then hit a ball that cleared the fence in center field. “We knew there were four dangerous hitters that we had to throw selectively to,” Barber said. “In the first inning, Kelsey did just that. She pitched to the corners and delivered some fantastic pitches. Unfortunately, it

led to two first-inning walks to load the bases.” DeSales, which was making its first state appearance since 1982, scored one run in the bottom of the first inning. After being hit by a pitch, Seeds advanced to second base on a wild pitch and went to third when Courtney Somers grounded into a fielder’s choice. Amanda Herron then doubled to center field to drive in Seeds. Seeds scored again in the sixth inning to make it 5-2 when she singled, went to third base on a single by Somers and scored on an error by Keystone second baseman Alisha Silva. Herron, who had reached second on the error by Silva, then scored on a single by Bryn Allen to make it 5-3. “The thing I am most proud of was the competitiveness of our players after that first half inning,” Barber said. “They stayed focused and determined and worked to chip away the lead for the rest of the game. For the remainder of the game, Kelsey did an amazing job of keeping the hitters off balance with her change-up and locations.” Seeds pitched a complete

game, allowing eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts. DeSales had six hits, with Seeds going 1-for-3 with two runs, Herron going 2-for-3 with two RBI, Allen going 2-for-3 with an RBI and Somers going 1-for-3. Keystone lost to Poland Seminary 4-0 in the state final on June 4 to finish 32-2. •The boys track and field team was represented in the Division II state meet on June 3 at Ohio State by its 800-meter relay. The relay, comprised of sophomores Breyon Bowman and LaShaun Sanders and juniors Tariq DeGraffinreed and Warren Ball, finished 12th in 1 minute, 30.82 seconds. “It was a great experience with two sophomores and two juniors,” coach Rick Baker said. “They’ll all potentially be back. Things turned out pretty well for them. “We got to a point where we were running our best times at the end of the season.” The Stallions did not score at state as Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary won the team championship with 51 points. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The Stallions developed over the next 29 games, and nearly every characteristic they discovered along the way was needed to beat Hoban. By the time DeSales played Hoban, it knew how to come back from large deficits, it knew how to win without dominant pitching, and it knew it had leadership. That’s why there was little panic when the Stallions trailed Hoban by four runs after the top of the first inning. “If someone scores four runs on us, then we score five,” catcher Jack Miller said. “That’s the way it’s been all year for us.” The Stallions scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning behind a walk by Chris Kurek and consecutive hits by Nick Eltzroth, T.J. Alas and Miller. Alas doubled to drive in Kurek and Eltzroth to make it 4-2 and Miller drove in Alas to make it 4-3. In the second inning, Alas had an RBI single that scored Alex Perrine, tying the score at 4. Miller followed with a two-run single that scored Kurek and Alas to put the Stallions ahead 6-4. Miller got the start on the mound but was pulled after one inning. He was replaced by Schlabig, who pitched the next 3 2/3 innings. Eltzroth, who had solidified himself as the team’s closer late in the season, entered the game in the fifth with the score tied at 7. In the bottom of the sixth, Zak DeCamp hit a two-run home run that gave DeSales a 9-7 lead. After the game he described it as a “dream hit.” “I was just trying to get a hit,” DeCamp said. “I was just trying to relax and hit the ball. I took off in a dead sprint trying to get extra bases and then I heard the crowd cheer and I just knew.” Hoban, which finished 18-9, scored one run in the top of the seventh and had the bases loaded with two outs when Miller — the Stallions’ most experienced player — called a meeting on the mound. As Miller walked back behind the plate, Schlabig, who was playing shortstop, hung around to offer Eltzroth a few more

words of encouragement. Two pitches later, Kolin McMillen hit a hard groundball to Eltzroth, who deflected it with his glove. The ball slowed enough for Schlabig to scoop it up and throw on the run to first base. The umpire briefly hesitated before calling McMillen out, ending the game. A pileup of DeSales players ensued near first base. “I see the ball coming to Nick and I’m thinking I hope that he can get a glove on it because I’m not going to get there,” Schlabig said. “If he doesn’t get a glove on it, we’re still playing baseball right now.” The state championship was redemption for Miller, who, as a freshman, was involved in both scoring plays as Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit defeated DeSales 20 in a state semifinal in 2009. In that game, a throw home seemed to catch Miller off guard and the ball sailed to the backstop, leading to the game’s first run. Walsh Jesuit added a second run later in the inning on a suicide squeeze. Hoban tried to steal home in the fifth inning, but the Stallions were ready for it. Miller had

called for a curveball, but when Hoban’s Joshua Young, who was on third, started running toward home plate, Eltzroth threw a fastball and Miller applied the tag before Young reached the plate. “It’s so surreal going from the dynamics of then to now where I had to step up and be a leader with guys like Brennan and T.J.,” Miller said. “Guys have been stepping up all year. “That’s been the biggest thing for us.” DeSales defeated defending state champion Jonathan Alder 4-2 in a state semifinal on June 3 at Huntington Park. The Stallions scored one run in the top of the first and one in the third to take a 2-0 lead, but the Pioneers tied the score with two runs in the bottom of the third. However, DeSales scored one run in the fourth and one in the fifth. Alas pitched a complete game, allowing two earned runs, nine hits and a walk. Miller was 3-for-3 with a walk and two RBI, Eltzroth was 2for-2 and Kurek was 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs. Jonathan Alder finished 23-4.

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 fam-

ily 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. When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will be in season MICHELLE on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likely have JOHNSON 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.

Upgraded pad

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
