Ad hoc group will report to council July 11 Reynoldsburg auditor: Income tax increase, employee layoffs may be suggested By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers An ad hoc committee named to examine Reynoldsburg’s budget and find ways to cut expenses and increase revenue will make its recommendations to city council on July 11. The five-member group, appointed on May 23, held its first meeting on June

7, with others planned on a weekly basis. City auditor Richard Harris has already suggested that one possible recommendation to come from the group could be for an income tax increase. He also raised the specter of city employee layoffs. Ad hoc committee members Brad Sprague, Dave Reidel, Linda Smith, Bill Shorthill and Larry McGrath were ap-

pointed by city council on May 23 to review budget issues facing the city in light of projections that Reynoldsburg could lose $1.75 million from its tax budget over the next four years, based on calculations regarding the state budget. The intent is for the committee to become familiar with Reynoldsburg’s budget in the coming weeks and look at op-

tions for revenue and spending. Related topics include looking at the city’s income and property tax rates and the fees charged in the parks and recreation department, the building department and mayor’s court. Also being reviewed will be the city’s health insurance costs and employee pay. Harris told city council last month

New water CONCERTED EFFORT lines slated for Huber subdivision

Resident won’t let backyard chicken issue fly away

Reynoldsburg City Council approved emergency legislation Monday, June 13, authorizing Watcon Engineering to prepare bid documents to replace several water lines in the Huber subdivision. City safety director Jim Miller said advertisements for the $58,078 project are expected to go out near the end of this year. The money has been budgeted for this year and will come out of the city’s water fund, he said. The project is a part of the city’s capital improvement plan. Miller said while the design and field work are under way, actual construction will not begin until spring of 2012. He said the project will involve replacing sixinch cast iron lines, installed in 1958 and 1959, with C-900 plastic water line at six different sites in the Huber Subdivision.

Richard Boone returned to city council Monday to ask that members further examine the issue of allowing chickens to be raised in Reynoldsburg backyards. In pleading his case, he objected to statements made during last week’s safety committee meeting, where the issue apparently laid an egg. Committee chair Mel Clemens and member Fred Deskins, both of whom said they were reared in rural areas and in families that kept barnyard animals, said raising chickens in city backyards is not something that should be permitted. They voiced concerns about whether allowing chickens in the city could draw predators such as raccoons, vicious dogs or coyotes into neighborhoods, whether the fowl would become a health hazard and whether raising city chickens would jeopardize property values. As a result, the issue was dropped and not considered for further discussion. Boone wants to have it placed back on the safety committee’s agenda for further analysis and consideration. “Backyard chickens are a part of the future of this planet, not just a part of its past,” he said at council’s June 13 meeting.

No final decision has been made, but organizers of Reynoldsburg’s annual Tomato Festival say they may have to start charging admission to the event. “We’re leaning towards doing it because we need sustainability as far as funding,” said Mary Hudson, president of Reynoldsburg Tomato Festivals Inc. “We don’t charge for parking. They used to charge $7 for parking but we haven’t in the past few years.” Admission fees under consideration are $1 or $3 for adults, with children age 12 and younger admitted free, she said.

that there may be a need to transfer $2 million from the city’s capital improvement plan (CIP) fund to its general fund in order to cover the city’s dayto-day operating expenditures at the end of 2012. That is another topic the committee will explore.

sociation. The route will run from Rosehill Road to Main Street, then east to Haft Drive, then onto Davidson Drive and into Huber Park. Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department director Jason Shamblin said police officers will begin to reroute traffic at around 3:30 p.m. Rosehill Road south of Main Street and down to East Livingston Avenue will be closed at 2:45 p.m. so parade staging can be held there.

Cheryl is one of many cats up for adoption at the Cat Welfare Association. On Tuesday, June 21, the association will hold its Summer Solstice Adoption Extravaganza, which will feature food and special adoption rates.

Shamblin said all parked vehicles should be removed from that section of Rosehill Road prior to 2:45 p.m. Main Street will be closed between Brice Road and Davidson Drive at 3:45 p.m. RCA vice president Mary Hudson said the theme of this year’s parade is “Reynoldsburg See FOURTH OF JULY PARADE, page A2

FOURTH OF JULY PARADE

TOMATO FESTIVAL

Continued from page A1 12:30 p.m. on Saturday on the main stage. Hudson said those interested in performing should begin registering now. She said the times for some events, such as the Queen’s Pageant, are still undetermined, but it will begin sometime Saturday afternoon after Reynoldsburg’s Got Talent ends. A new attraction this year will be a climbing wall and what is being is billed as the world’s largest pinball machine, which Hudson said is “a few stories high.” Also on Saturday, a car show and a flea market are scheduled. Participants will pay $10 for a 10-foot by 10-foot space to sell whatever they want at the flea market, Hudson said. Two large tents will be set up this year, one for businesses and one for arts and crafts. The traditional tomato displays will be set up inside the Senior Center. “Also new this year on Saturday, we’ll have a Chinese raffle where people put their raffle tickets inside bags that have prizes in them they want to bid on, then we draw the names on who won,” Hudson said. Volunteers are needed to help with parking, children’s games, taking admission at the gate, and working the soft drink and water stations. “People need to begin planning and registering for everything, really,” she said. More information and registration forms for performers, volunteers and arts and crafts are available at www.reynoldsburgtomatofestival.org

Continued from page A1 Hudson said organizers are also thinking of gating off the festival this year. If that happens, she said, businesses will be invited to “adopt a gate” to advertise their products. “Basically, we’re thinking of gating it off to control the crowd,” Hudson said. Last year’s festival drew nearly 5,000 people, she s aid. The 47th annual Tomato Festival is scheduled for Aug. 19 and 20 at Huber Park. Hours are 4 p.m. to 10 a.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday. The festival sponsor is Heartland Bank. Hudson said the Mount Carmel Fitness Challenge will begin Saturday morning at 8 a.m. in front of the municipal building, featuring a 5K run, a 10K run, and a roller-blading competition. She said entertainment this year will feature performances on the deck of the Senior Center and on a second stage in the park. On the main stage beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday night will be the local rock band DDouble VVision, followed at 8 p.m. by Reynoldsburg native Ashley Everts and The Country Thunder. On Saturday, beginning at 7 p.m., the rock band Peligro will perform, followed by the Ohio-based country rock band McGuffey Lane at 8 p.m. Hudson said the second stage will feature local acts — music, magic, dancing or anything. Reynoldsburg’s Got Talent will begin at

Honors the Past and Looks to the Future.” She said unlike last year’s parade, which began at 2 p.m., organizers decided to start it two hours later this year so when it finishes about an hour and a half later, everyone can head to Civic Park for the festivities leading up to the fireworks at dusk. “We’ve had the parade begin at 2 p.m. forever and ever, but this year, the committee decided by having it later in the day, maybe more people would come out after they had lunch or whatever and it’s closer to the fireworks time,” Hudson said. She said judging for the decorated bike contest will take place in the parking lot of the Cooper State Bank at 6950 E. Main St. Hudson said contest entries should be there at around 3:15 p.m. to be judged. First-, second- and third-place winners will then lead the July 4 parade. Parade chairman Anna Clendenen said the ReynoldsburgTruro Township Historical Society will carry the title of grand marshal this year. “We want to let the public know about the organizations that serve the community … and we thought this is a way of thank-

ing them by having them as the grand marshal,” Clendenen said. She said she expects to have 50 or so parade entries. “Last year, we had 75 entries, and that included floats, police, fire, color guard, honor guard and politicians,” Clendenen said. Although the deadline to enter the parade is Monday, June 20, she said a few late entries usually come in. Clendenen said political entry fees are $35. Commercial entries pay $25 and there is no charge for nonprofit organizations. However, she said, all participants still need to fill out an entry form. She said entry forms are available by online at www.ci.reynoldsburg.oh.us/independenceday.aspx Clendenen said volunteers are needed for the parade. Their duties will include helping as parade marshals and with the bike contest. “Last year we had some gaps, so we don’t want that happening this year,” she said. “We need people to help us make sure the parade runs in a consistent flow.” Those interested in volunteering can call Clendenden at (614) 774-9374 or Hudson at (614) 866-4888. The fireworks display is scheduled to begin at around dusk in

Civic Park, 6800 Daugherty Drive. Shamblin said a variety of entertainment will be available starting at 7 p.m., including kids’ activities, inflatables and a performance by the Reynoldsburg Community Band beginning at 7 p.m. Shamblin said this year concessions will be provided by the Lions Club and the Alliance Soccer Club. “We want to remind residents that pets — dogs and cats — should be secured inside before the festivities begin,” he said. “Animals have more sensitive hearing than humans do and it’s a concern to the humane society. They don’t want pets to run away after they’re spooked from the loud noise of the fireworks.” dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The project, in order of priority, will include replacing: • Approximately 1,250 feet of line in Lucks Road from Livingston Avenue to Roselawn Avenue. • Approximately 1,290 feet of line in Kaiser Drive from Stouder Drive to Roselawn Avenue. • Approximately 1,500 feet of line in Pickering Drive from Stouder Drive to Kaiser Drive. • Approximately 1,025 feet of line in Malone Drive from Retton Drive to Stouder Drive. • Approximately 670 feet of line in Slack Road from Steckel Road to Lucks Road. • Approximately 2,600 feet of line in Stouder Drive from Livingston Avenue to Penick Drive.

Continued from page A1 “All of these water lines have got a long history of breaking and every time the water line breaks, we, of course, have to fix it,” Miller said. “All the homes have disrupted water service and then when it’s fixed, they have to boil their water for 48 hours. “These water lines are all so old and the cost to have to keep going out and fixing them time after time after time again … it’s time to replace them,” he said. Miller said traffic and access to homes will be maintained during the construction, as will water service to existing homes. Upon chlorination and acceptance of the lines, Miller said, water services will be transferred to the new lines and the old water lines will be capped and abandoned in place. Existing fire hydrants will be removed and

THIS BUG KILLS! Protect Your Ash Trees Call Mike Donley Today for a FREE Ash Tree Assessment The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic boring insect believed to have come from China. This bug was first discovered in 2002 in Southeast Michigan. With no natural enemies to contain its population, it spreads rapidly, attacks and kills ALL ash trees regardless of size or condition; 100% mortality rate! This bug only attacks ash trees. The EAB infestation of ash trees became apparent last year in Central Ohio. Extensive wood pecker damage, dead limbs in upper canopies and a flush of green sprouts in the lower canopies are the most obvious signs of likely EAB infestation. Generally speaking, from the first signs of infestation, trees die within 2-3 years if untreated. Should you decide to preserve your ash trees, field trials from Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue Universities have shown annually applied insecticides will protect ash trees effectively from the emerald ash borer. There are two primary recommendations to get most effective insecticide protection - Treating trees in the spring time (April-May) and treatments prior to infestation.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen

GRAND OPENING SALE

FEELING OF FULLNESS Some people describe experiencing such an uncomfortable (and even painful) feeling of “fullness” in their ears that they schedule an examination by physician. In some cases, fullness in the ears can be caused by hearing loss, which may be confirmed by an audiogram and may be helped with a hearing instrument. Another diagnosis, “Eustachian tube dysfunction,” may arise from a blocked or malfunctioning Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear with the nasal cavity. It is this tube’s job to equalize the air pressure on either side of the eardrum. When there is less pressure on the inside of the eardrum than outside, the eardrum may cave in slightly, causing the feeling of fullness. Ear fullness usually resolves after a few days, but it is important to determine its underlying cause and rule out a serious infection. If you are experiencing problems with your ears or hearing, call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation.

He said during the June 7 meeting it would be a good idea to compare Reynoldsburg’s tax rates and the fees it charges to those in its peer municipalities. “On property taxes, Bexley gets a little over $2 million a year, Dublin gets $3.7 million a year, Gahanna gets $2.2 million, and Reynoldsburg gets $495,000 a year,” Harris said. “That was all done back in the 1930s, when then, of course, Reynoldsburg was just a village … so we have never asked the public to vote for a property tax to support the city. We‘ve always used income tax and other methods,” he said. Harris said the city’s income tax rate has been at 1.5 percent since Jan. 1, 1982. A 2006 ballot request to increase that to 2 percent was turned down by voters. Had it been approved, the increase would have generated $3 million annually, he said. He said it’s possible the ad hoc committee could recommend to city council on July 11 that an income tax hike request be placed on the November ballot. However, he said it’s too early to make that decision since the group has just started its research. “That’s why the group is looking at that timeframe in July because council’s off in August and it would have to go to the county to be put on the ballot by the first week in August,” Harris said. He said employee layoffs could also be a possible recommendation.

Don’t Buy A Hearing Aid...

So tiny, no one will notice

Boone claimed that many of the statements made at last week’s safety committee meeting were myths, not facts, including the idea that backyard chickens must produce more bad odors, be more insect-ridden, noisier or would generate a significantly great number of dangerous predators than the animals allowed under the current Reynoldsburg ordinance. He also said it’s a myth that a few well-caredfor backyard chickens would drive down the resale value of houses more than the animals already allowed. “What I would like to know today, if at all possible, is will this council have an open mind and look for the best possible facts when you make your decisions and vote?” Boone asked. “Because backyard chickens seems like a pretty safe topic, compared to the millions of dollars spent each year by this council … but the same reasoning should apply. “I am certain that every voter in Reynoldsburg wants to know if we spend our money based on hearsay and rumor, or do we seek out the best possible facts,” he said. The issue was first brought up during a May 9 city council meeting by Boone, who said he and his family wanted to raise chickens in their backyard but had found city code to be unclear. That’s when the subject was referred to the safety committee. During last week’s meeting, Clemens said

when Reynoldsburg was a village some 50 years ago, people had pigs and chickens and cows, but since then, the village had grown into a city and raising chickens is for those living in the country. Boone said Monday that statement “assumes there is a black-and-white distinction between country and city.” “This statement assumes some underlying definition of ‘city,’ it assumes some common set of values and behaviors that I do not believe we all have in common,” he said. “It also clearly excludes me from being a decent member of the city.” Boone went on to say Reynoldsburg is not an island isolated from the rest of the world, surrounded by country, but rather a suburb, “and you cannot be a suburb of nowhere,” he said. No council member had any response to his comments. Boone said after the meeting he will pursue avenues to hopefully have the issue placed back on the safety committee’s agenda. Clemens said he has no problem with Boone’s attempt to get the issue back before the safety committee, but he sees no reason for it. “He didn’t say anything that impressed me any … I’m not going to discuss this over and over for a year,” Clemens said.

Etna Corporate Park

JEDZ expected to produce $170K in revenue in 2010 By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The dual boards of the joint economic-development zones for the Etna Corporate Park held their required annual meeting June 10 to discuss joint economic development zone (JEDZ) revenues and expenditures for the upcoming year. As of June 1, the JEDZ had collected more than $85,000 in income taxes, with the full year projected at $170,000. The JEDZ is one of three such joint economic-development agreements in Licking County, all three of which are in Etna Township and Pataskala. It is the only one that currently has tenants producing revenue. The Etna Corporate Park includes the ProLogis properties along U.S. Route 40. Under the JEDZ, local governments such as townships that do not collect an income tax may enter agreements with jurisdictions that have income taxes, such as cities, and apply the tax to designated areas. The Newark income-tax rate is 1.75 percent of wages and net profits on business. Total payroll in the JEDZ is about $8 million, according to previous information from Newark tax administrator Barb Jobes. The funds may be used for various purposes, including maintaining the road and other infrastructure at the site and distributing the incometax revenues to the participating entities. The term of the agreement is 30 years. Revenues from the JEDZ are distributed as follows: 20 percent to an improvements fund that pays for roadways and infrastructure at the JEDZ property; 30 percent to Etna Township; 30 percent to Southwest Licking schools; 10 percent to the city of Newark; 5 percent to Licking County;

4.5 percent to the Newark Income Tax Department for administering the JEDZ; and 0.5 percent to Career and Technology Education Centers (CTEC). Newark treasurer Jeff Hall said it was important to let the public know funds were being collected and spent. “Last year, we distributed checks about July 20,” Hall said. “We presented checks at a public event that worked well.” If residents do not see the results of the JEDZ, then they are less likely to understand it, Hall said. “In a municipality, you see how your tax dollars are being used directly,” Hall said. “Streets are plowed, roads are paved. The JEDZ is a little different, because maybe you don’t see as much. Sometimes it’s good to be public so they can see the direct relationship.” Hall said the JEDZ had been projected to bring in $130,000 during a period when it brought in $160,000. Board members discussed whether companies seeking new locations would be reluctant to enter a JEDZ because of the associated income tax but concluded that most companies expect to pay an income tax, which usually falls more heavily on employees than on the company. “The absence or presence of an income tax is a minor consideration in the overall decision making process,” said Jerry Brems, a member of the Licking County Planning Commission. “If they go into any municipality, they expect it. Usually the employees pay it, so in one sense, it is not that big a deal.” Jobes agreed. “You don’t get much from corporate profits,” Jobes said. “Most of the income is coming from the employees.”

Pediatric HealthSource

Heart palpitations are not unusual in children, teens Many children experience a racing, pounding heart or “skipped” heart beats at some point in their lives. Some also report that they can feel these symptoms in their neck. These are known as heart palpitations. Though these palpitations can be a strange feeling, parents should remember that they are not necessarily an indication of something more serious. There are a number of factors that may influence someone’s heart rate and rhythm, including exercise, stress, caffeine and certain medications (such as those to treat asthma or heart conditions). Some kids may simply notice their own normal heart rhythm and wonder if it is normal. Sometimes, though, palpitations can be an indication of an abnormal heart rhythm. The vast majority of these rhythms are not life-threatening in otherwise healthy children. There are a few types of abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. Tachycardia arrhythmias are characterized by a rapid heart beat, but it is important to realize that a healthy child can easily get his or her heart rate above 160 beats per minute with exercise. Sometimes, a heartbeat is simply early. This is a premature contraction. Heart arrhythmias can be lifelong or temporary. They can also be congenital, which means that children are born with it. A child does not have to be born with a heart defect to have a heart arrhythmia. In fact, many children experience arrhythmias and have normally formed hearts.

You should consult you primary care physician if your child experiences palpitations. The physician will evaluate the frequency and intensity of these palpitations, your child’s medical history and that of your family. In many cases, NAOMI treatment is not necessary. Here at the Heart Center at KERTESZ Nationwide Children’s Hospital, our comprehensive care includes a thorough medical history and potentially an electrocardiogram (EKG). In addition, we offer portable monitors that can record your child’s symptoms. These can be worn anywhere from one to 30 days, or only when your child experiences palpitations. Some of these monitors are the size of credit cards and can be carried in your pocket. They can record a tracing of your child’s heart rhythm, known as an ECG, which can then be shared over the phone with your cardiologist for evaluation. Our Heart Center is ranked among the best in the country and offers comprehensive care for all kinds of pediatric heart conditions. Dr. Naomi Kertesz is director of electrophysiology and pacing at the Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an associate professor of pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

I love this Chrysler 200. I just got it at Bob Caldwell.

I got an UNBELIEVABLE deal! I leased it with no money down and it was only $269/mo +tax!

Raiders girls answered all doubters By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

While no one may have disputed that they had significant individual talent, members of the Reynoldsburg High School girls track and field team heard throughout the season what they perceived as whispers of their overall demise. For junior Destinee Gause, winning her third consecutive state title in the 200 meters and leading the Raiders to the team championship for the third year in a row were as much about dispelling the skeptics as anything else. “I just want to dedicate this state championship to the people who doubted us,” Gause said. The team title the Raiders captured in 2009 centered on scoring in multiple events and taking advantage of one of the deepest teams in state girls track history. With fewer athletes the past two seasons, Reynoldsburg found success with a talented group of sprinters and hurdlers and contributions in the shot put and discus. If the Raiders are to contend for a fourth consecutive state team title next year, they’ll likely rely on strengths similar to the past two ensembles. Gause should be back to lead the way after winning state titles June 4 at Ohio State in the 100 (11.82 seconds) and 200 (23.84). She also anchored the 1,600 relay to a title in 3:48.78. Another key part of the equation should be junior Faith Washington, who has made it to the awards podium in each of her prep seasons in the 300 hurdles and the past two years in the 100 hurdles. She was fourth (14.52) in the 100 hurdles and third (43.58) in the 300 hurdles this year. Although the Raiders will lose relay standout Kacia Grant to graduation, sophomores Diamond Gause and Yamonie Jenkins both were key contributors in relays this spring.

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Reynoldsburg will lose senior Kacia Grant (left) from its relays and Donyelle Brown (not pictured) in the shot put and discus.

Jenkins ran on the 1,600 relay with Destinee Gause, Washington and Grant and on the 400 relay with Grant and the Gause sisters. The 400 relay finished 14th (49.82) at state on June 3. Diamond Gause ran on the third-place 800 relay (1:39.63) with Grant, Jenkins and Washington. The other key senior was Donyelle Brown, who placed eighth in both the discus (131 feet, 1 inch) and shot put (42-1) as Reynoldsburg scored 47 points at state. Another regular contributor who could play a key role in the Raiders’ success next season is freshman Cherese Nimmons. She was 15th (63.31) in the 400 at regional May 27 at Picker-

ington North. Also at regional, Grant was seventh in the 100 (12.73) and Diamond Gause was ninth in the 200 (26.6) while junior Britany Anderson qualified in the shot put but did not compete. “We’re losing a couple great seniors in Kacia and Donyelle, but we always find someone,” Washington said. “So many people doubted us this year. When you win state, it’s your obligation to feel thankful.” The Raiders had their biggest success late in the postseason. In the OCC-Ohio Division By Tim Norman/ThisWeek meet May 12 and 14 at North, Destinee Gause (left) is expected back to help Reynoldsburg as it seeks a fourth consecutive Reynoldsburg finished third state title next spring.

Leadership still strong suit for Hartley

Athletes believe sports help them to be better people

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When asked last December to reflect on his team’s run to the Division IV state championship, Hartley High School football coach Brad Burchfield said his players rallied around one another after two regular-season losses and didn’t “fracture.” Despite losing a 16-member senior class that included the state’s co-Player of the Year in running back Noah Key, Burchfield has seen that same attitude throughout the offseason. “I’ve got real good leadership,” said Burchfield, whose team beat Chagrin Falls 34-13 in the Division IV state final on Dec. 3 in Massillon’s Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. “Our kids have worked hard and bought into what we’ve been trying to do. “Every January we sit down with the entire coaching staff and always try to

For the 17th consecutive summer, I have chosen to ask some of the top central Ohio high school athletes who will be seniors in the fall to share their thoughts on a variety of topics. Enjoy the summer and enjoy hearing from these talented young people. As in the past, the first question is: What have sports done in making you the person you are today? Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “Without sports I wouldn’t be anything near what I am today. Sports keep me very active and I have been that way throughout my life.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “Sports have helped me learn to overcome challenges and adversities. Sports have also shown me that you need to work hard to achieve your goals. For me, sports are a way to form friendships and I

Then in the district 3 meet that concluded May 21 at Hilliard Bradley, the Raiders were second (116) of 11 teams that scored as Dublin Scioto (139) won the title. Reynoldsburg won its first meet title of the season at regional May 25 and 27 when it tallied 88 points to finish ahead of 39 other teams that scored. At regional, Brown won the discus (126-11) and shot put (43-8), Destinee Gause won the 100 (12.01) and 200 (24.21) and Washington was first in the 300 hurdles (42.88) and third in the 100 hurdles (14.85). Also winning were the 400 relay (47.54), the 800 relay (1:41.07) and the 1,600 relay (3:54.05). The Raiders have won five regional titles over the past six years, including each of the past four seasons. “These girls are all pretty wellgrounded,” coach Denny Hammond said. “I wouldn’t ever bet against Destinee or Faith.” •The boys team expects to return both of its state qualifiers as well as several others who became key contributors this season. Junior Tsehaye Hiluf will enter next season as the defending state champion in the 3,200 after winning the title June 4 in 9:17.09. His 10 state points gave the Raiders a tie for 22nd with six other teams behind champion Cincinnati LaSalle (36) as 78 squads scored. Also competing at state was junior LaVonne Gauthney, who

finished 14th (53-4) in the shot put. Gauthney became a key contributor this spring after being ineligible each of the last two track seasons. Also emerging this season were junior Mykel Traylor-Bennett and sophomores Johnny Pace and Dominik Seitzer. Pace was a first-year track athlete and Traylor-Bennett didn’t compete a year ago, but Pace won the 200 (23.5) and Traylor-Bennett was second (23.51) in the OCC-Ohio meet. The duo also joined senior Tabeal Radney and sophomore Dionte Brown to place fourth (1:32.49) in the 800 relay and fifth (44.3) in the 400 relay in the league meet. At regional, Seitzer finished seventh (4:25.77) and eighth (1:57.43) in the 800 and ran on the ninth-place 3,200 relay (8:09.03) with Hiluf and seniors Hiruy Abraha and Peyton Radebaugh.

LaVonne Gauthney, who placed 14th in the shot put at state, is expected to return, as is fellow junior Tsehaye Hiluf, who was state champion in the 3,200.

Seitzer, according to Hammond, came on strong enough at the end of the season to put himself in position to contend for state berths in the 800 and 1,600. “We thought Dominik Seitzer would have a chance, but making all-region as a sophomore is pretty impressive,” Hammond said. The Raiders finished second (107) in the league meet behind North (156) and ahead of Gahanna (92), Lancaster (83), Central (80), Newark (52), Groveport (50.5) and Grove City (27.5).

I have learned that you have to work hard to get things done both in the classroom and in sports workouts.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer/basketball: “Sports have brought out the best in me by allowing me to be competitive. I absolutely love playing soccer and basketball with a passion. I can’t imagine my life without the opportunity to compete day in and day out.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football/wrestling: “For me it is really simple. Sports have made me a disciplined kid and a hard worker.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Sports have taught me how

to discipline myself through practice and dedication. Sports have taught me respect and honor, to honor those greats in front of us and to respect them and their accomplishments. As an athlete, sports make me get up in the morning and they give me something to work for. The conditioning, training and practice have groomed who I am today.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Golf is a lot like life. It has taught me the importance of self-determination, work ethic and honesty.” Next week, the student-athletes will discuss how they balance practices and games with studying and keeping up their grades.

•Coach: Ryan Wiggins, fifth season •2010 record: 5-6 overall, 1-1 (second) in CCL-Silver Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: Eighth in Division III, Region 10 •Outlook: In at least one respect, a 14-7 loss to eventual state champion Watterson in the first round of the Division III playoffs prompted the Stallions to take a different approach to their offseason. What, after all, were the Stallions going to do with all of the extra time they had? A 35-17 victory over Cleveland Benedictine in its regular-season finale helped DeSales earn a statebest 17th consecutive postseason berth, but its loss the next week meant that it was out of the playoffs before the second round for the first time since 1999. The longer offseason hasn’t been a complete loss, according to coach Ryan Wiggins, and the extra conditioning time could come in handy this fall as the Stallions hope for better health. Defensive back Kevin Marth, a 2011 graduate, was lost for the season in week four. Running back Warren Ball, an Ohio State recruit who should be one of the team’s top players as a senior this fall, also battled injuries most of last season and was limited to 634 yards and 12 touchdowns in eight games. The Stallions also lost quarterback Nick Gentile, two-way regulars Sam Borghese (TE/LB), Santino Cua (OL/LB), Evan Kendrick (RB/DB), Tony Moore (OL/DL) and Michigan-signee Chris Rock (OL/DL) to graduation.

HAWKS Continued from page B1 the Hawks finish 13-2 last season. Still, figuring out how to score points isn’t something Burchfield considers a concern as the Hawks’ summer heats up. Jarrod Zang enters his senior season after rushing for 1,039 yards and six touchdowns last fall, while Ja’Waun Woodley will be a junior who rushed for 305 yards and four scores. Marcellus Calhoun, a classmate of Woodley’s, rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns last

fall. “We’ve always had great running backs, going back to David Key and Michael Thomas,” Burchfield said. “Noah’s great season showed kids what they can do. Since the 1970s, Hartley has always had great running backs and we think we’re

going to have a great running back again this season. Our next two running backs are Ja’Waun Woodley and Jarrod Zang, who had 1,000 yards.” One portion of the summer Burchfield is looking forward to is when he’ll take the team to Saints Peter & Paul Retreat Center in Newark for three days of three-a-day practices in July. “We structure our summer with lifting hard early in the morning throughout June and then we go away in July,” Burchfield said. “Our offseason is probably no different than

REAL ESTATE MONTHLY SELLING A HOUSE FROM THE OUTSIDE IN Setting one home apart from the rest is always a challenge for Realtors and home sellers. That’s why this summer many sellers and agents are looking to the great outdoors to catch the buyer’s eye. “Today, a homeowner can demonstrate their style outdoors as much as indoors,” said Jerry White, executive vice president of Coldwell Banker King Thompson. “Well-designed outdoor living spaces help homes stand out from the competition especially in the warmer seasons.”While the inside of your house may be spick-andspan, don’t leave the outside untouched. Here are a few tips on making the most of your outdoor space: • Highlight what you have: For some it might be a pool in the backyard, others have a great outdoor kitchen, beautiful vegetable garden or partyfriendly deck space. Highlight the selling points of your outdoor space by keeping it well maintained and staged with flowers, furniture and other accents. If you don’t have a stand-out feature to speak of, create one. Set out a pair of Adirondack chairs under a shady tree or arrange a picnic scene on your patio to add some charm. • Add some color: Planting flowers in the front and back yards can bring an eye-catching pop of color to the look of your home. Gardening isn’t an inexpensive endeavor,but it takes time, so consider planters and other quick fixes that can deliver without much expense or maintenance. • Keep it simple and neat: Just like inside our homes, it’s easy to over do it in the backyard, especially with a smaller space. Clean and simple are winning strategies. Also talk to your Realtor about how your yard stacks up against homes on the market in the area and discuss ways to maximize its potential as a selling tool for your property.
