School board considers $158.5M budget District would spend $8.06 million more in 2011-12 than in 2010-11 By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Under a proposed budget presented during a school board retreat June 13, the Westerville City School District could spend $8.06 million more in the 20112012 school year than it did in the previous school year. The district’s administration presented the board with a $158.5-million budget during the retreat. That compares to a $150.4-million budget for the 2010-
2011 school year. While expenditures increase, the proposed budget shows a drop in revenue for the 2011-2012 school year, from $151.1 million to $146.3 million. That means if the budget were approved as-is, the district would spend $12.2 million more than it expects to take in through state funding and taxes. Despite the deficit, the district would end the year with a $113,798 cash balance, thanks to an expected $12.3-million surplus at the end of this fiscal year.
However, if spending continued to increase at a similar rate and no new revenues were created, the district would be $19.3 million short of expenditures at the end of fiscal year 2013. “That would be a problem in my checkbook,” board member Cindy Crowe said. In the biggest line item for the district, personal services — which includes employee salaries — the proposed budget shows a 4.7-percent increase in spending between fiscal year 2011 and fiscal
year 2012, with $96.4 million being spent in the next fiscal year. Personal services cost the district $91.8 million in fiscal year 2011. Superintendent Dan Good said that is with a reduction in staff of eight positions, saving the district $650,000. He said those savings were made through attrition and by shuffling teaching assignments to make sure all areas were covered with fewer staff members. “We’ve been able to reduce through attrition. We’re not reducing any particu-
lar person,” Good said. Retirement and fringe benefits would rise from $30.5 million to $33 million under the proposed budget. Purchased services would increase by $1.5 million, from $21.5 million to $23 million, an amount district officials said is largely driven by increases in the number of students with special needs and the severity of those needs. To save money, the district plans to See $158M BUDGET, page A2

Council OKs 2-tier water-rate increase By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Westerville water customers soon will see higher bills. Westerville City Council approved a twotier water rate increase at its June 7 meeting. Rates first will increase in July and then again in January. The bill for the average residential water customer will go up from the current $14.84 per month to $15.54 per month in July and to $16.59 in January. The minimum monthly charge for water usage, which affects 15 percent of Westerville water customers, will go from the current $4.65 to $4.80 in July and to $4.90 in January. Water rates will rise from $2.12 per cubic
foot consumed to $2.22 in July and $2.37 in January for the first 1,500 cubic feet of usage. Rates will increase from $1.52 per cubic foot to $1.61 in July and $1.73 in January for the next 8,500 cubic feet of usage and from 92 cents per cubic foot to 99 cents in July and to $1.07 in January for usage volumes totaling more than 10,000 cubic feet. The increases will boost the water fund’s revenue by 5.3 percent in July and by 7.2 percent in January. The additional revenue will help pay for increases in operating costs and maintenance for Westerville’s aging water system, city officials said. Westerville has raised water rates only three times in the last 20 years, said water utility manager Dick Lorenz. Even with these increases, its water rates will remain well below those charged in other central Ohio
communities, he said. In Columbus, 7 cubic feet of usage, which is how much the average Westerville customer uses, costs residents about $23 a month, according to numbers Lorenz presented to council. That would cost $30 a month for New Albany water customers and about $31 for Delco or Worthington water customers. “We have a quality product at a quality price,” Lorenz told council. Within the next two years, the city also will have to make a $6-million investment in its water treatment facility to keep up with changes in Environmental Protection Agency regulations, city manager Dave Collinsworth said. Collinsworth previously told council that this round of water-rate hikes will not cover the costs of those improvements.
Westerville City Council had its first discussion June 7 on a proposed Westerville Square redevelopment that includes construction of a Walmart. Council heard the first reading of legislation to accept modifications to the development plan for the site at the northeast corner of East Schrock Road and South State Street. Council will hear a second reading of the site-plan modification at its June 21 meeting. There will be a public hearing on the plans at council’s July 5 meeting, likely followed by a vote. In April, the Westerville Planning Commission voted to declare renovation plans by Westerville Square owner The Hadler Cos. a major modification, meaning city council must vote on whether to approve them. The company plans to tear down three storefronts in the 159,801square-foot center to construct a 108,000-square-foot Walmart. The remainder of the shopping center would be renovated to match to newly constructed Walmart, with brick facade, brick columns, dormer windows and parapets at the corners of the center. The parking lot would be upgraded with more landscaping, greenspace with public art and seating on South State Streets and brick walls along South State Street and Otterbein Avenue. The center would gain just under 18,000 square feet, but Walmart would take up 60 percent of the center. The original development plan for Westerville Square was ap-
Hadler slates July 5 open house The Hadler Cos. has planned a weekend of open houses to share its renovation plans for the Westerville Square shopping center with the public. The open houses come ahead of a scheduled July 5 public hearing and a vote by Westerville City Council on whether to allow the renovations, which include plans to tear down three storefronts in order to construct a 108,000square-foot Walmart. Open houses are scheduled from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. June 17, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. June 18 and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. June 19 in the vacant storefront at 14 Westerville Square, which faces South State Street. During the open houses, the company will show renderings of its plans for the shopping center, and company representatives will be on hand to answer questions. See OPEN HOUSE, page A2 proved by the city in 1968 under the condition that any future changes for the site meet city approval. That plan called for a large commercial center with small- to medium-size commercial tenants surrounded by parking. “The plan they adopted at the time is largely what they have See WALMART, page A2

Selby sought to make it north to Canada to earn enough money to buy Nelly’s freedom, but instead, Selby died of exposure at the Hanby home.

Continued from page A1 now,” senior city planner Bassem Bitar told council. Hadler’s proposed renovations would bring about a major change by introducing a large anchor store to be surrounded by smaller tenants, Bitar said. Major concerns expressed by the city include the impact of Walmart on traffic in the area and having a 24-hour store close to residential developments to the north and east of the center. City traffic studies show that the intersection at South State Street and East Schrock Road would fall from its current “D” letter grade to a failing “F” if the center were renovated. “One of the possibilities is to reduce the size of that anchor store. Another option would be improvements to the intersection,” Bitar said. Ben Hale, attorney for The Hadler Cos., said the company is willing to either construct a turn lane to ease traffic at the intersection or give the cost of doing so — which the company places at $160,000 — to the city. “Still, my major concerns are density and intensity of use, and still No. 1 is traffic,” said council member Diane Fosselman, who also sits on the planning commission. Fosselman said she’s unhappy that the redevelopment plans show all existing eight curb cuts on the site would remain open, which she believes causes an unsafe traffic pattern. Some council members questioned the 24-hour operation of the store, which The Hadler Cos. has said Walmart is not flexible about changing, while others said it’s not uncharacteristic for Westerville stores. “We have other stores in town that are 24-hour operations. Most of our grocery stores are,” Mayor Kathy Cocuzzi said. Council member Larry Jenkins said he would like to see any approval of the plans carry provisions about replacing and maintaining landscaping and banning overnight parking by RVs. “That would not be welcome in Westerville,” Jenkins said. Three residents did speak against the proposed redevelopment during the meeting’s public comment session. Becky Cheney, who lives near Westerville Square, said she’s concerned about Walmart drawing more
Continued from page A1 “We’ve worked very hard over the past five years to bring this project to fruition. We’re proud of this project and want to share our plans with the community,” Hadler Co. president George Hadler said in a press release. “There are many misconceptions about the changes, and we would like to give the community the opportunity to see the differences and improvements to the appearance of the center.” The Westerville Planning Commission voted in April to declare The Hadler Cos.’ renovation plans a major modification to the original site plan. That designation means Westerville City Council must approve the plans before The Hadler Cos. can move forward. The planning commission voted to recommend that council approve the changes as long as The Hadler Cos. can work out all outstanding concerns with the city. City staff and council members remain concerned over the redevelopment’s impact on traffic and on Walmart’s insistence that the store be allowed to operate 24 hours a day. If city council approves the redevelopment plan, The Hadler Cos. said construction would begin as soon as it can acquire the necessary permits. Under the company’s timeline, the center would reopen in July 2012.

— Jennifer Nesbitt traffic into an area that already suffers from traffic problems. “I don’t know how in the world we can fix the traffic we have now, let alone pulling in people from all over,” Cheney said. Resident Dave Gaffney said he, too, is concerned about the traffic that would be caused by a Walmart on the site, and he said he’s unsure why the city would accept a Walmart now when it rejected one for Maxtown Road years ago. “If it wasn’t good enough there, why is it good enough down here?” Gaffney said. “It makes no sense to me.”

$158M BUDGET Continued from page A1 serve more special-needs students in-house next year, which is cheaper than sending them out of the district for services, Good said. “If we were not offering these services here, we would easily be spending double to send these students out of district,” he said. The district plans to hold the line on spending for supplies and materials at $2.8 million, though Good said the administration knows fuel and utilities will cost more next year. “We’re making reductions in department budgets to account

for increases in fuel,” he said. The largest drop in revenue sources comes from an anticipated $2.7-million decrease in property-tax allocations, from $17.2 million in fiscal year 2011 to $14.5 million in 2012. The district also anticipates getting $1 million less in restricted grants, and expects smaller drops in general property taxes, unrestricted state aid and other financing sources.

enue. The board did not discuss any particular numbers or potential levies during the meeting. The board is expected to vote on the 2011-2012 budget at its June 27 meeting, before the new fiscal year starts July 1, and to continue discussions on raising revenue in July. If the district were to seek a levy in November, board members would have to make a decision by the end of July or early August, depending on the type of tax issue being sought. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Commentary & opinion Letter
Board should consider some ‘realistic reductions’ To the editor: In response to a board member’s recent comments regarding Common Sense for Westerville Schools (CSWS) speakers at board meetings, the following concerns are relevant. Westerville School District voters passed levies in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2009. However, levies failed twice in 2003 and again in 2005. The most recent
levy passed with less than 53-percent approval. More than 47 percent of voters said the board was asking for too much and said no. Speakers were told the board is trying to meet the expectations of the 85,000 community members and not just the three or four that might show up with different opinions of the way things need to be done. As the most recent levy attests, 47 percent of

A continuing call for reduced spending and financial sustainability is not an opinion held by just three or four members of the community. While only three or four may choose to speak out at board meetings and attend other district planning and opinion seeking meetings, CSWS is not expressing an unpopular sentiment. Instead of attempting to discredit the messengers, perhaps the board should look at some realistic reductions in spending that will significantly impact future five year forecasts. Why not put together a five year forecast that does not build in significant salary increases before they are negotiated? Such an approach would avoid creating an expectation of salary increases for labor organizations in future contract negotiations.

Remaining Highlands money could fund other parks projects By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The city expects to have $140,000 remaining from the Highland Park Aquatic Center renovations, and that money could be used to benefit two other parks projects. Department of Parks and Recreation director Randy Auler said the $7.6-million project is coming in under budget, and he asked city council at its June 7 meeting to reallocate $102,000 of that money to improve the Alum Creek leisure path and to construct the Hanby Park train depot. “We’re not requesting new funds; we’re just reallocating funds,” Auler said. The city is looking to spend $150,000 on the Alum Creek leisure path to prevent flooding near Schrock Road caused by water released from Alum Creek State Park Dam and silt deposits. Currently, the path is not useable 162 days a year because of flooding, Auler said. The path helps link Westerville-to-Columbus bike trails. The city allocated $88,000 in the 2011 budget and earned a $15,000 grant for the project. However, the cost estimates were based on a 2006 engineering study, and the actual cost of the
project came in higher than anticipated because a taller, 4-foot retaining wall and pumping system will be needed to keep the path clear of water, Auler said. The project will cost an additional $47,000. For the Hanby Park train depot, the city is looking to spend $150,000 to construct a bike stop along the Ohio-Erie Trail in Hanby Park. A basic version of the train depot would feature a shelter and a restroom, but the city would like to spend an additional $40,000 on signs, a fireplace, a brick walkway and water fountains. The goal of the additional improvements is to make the stop a destination on the bike trail, bringing bikers into Westerville to rest and directing them into Uptown for shopping and food. The basic components of the project would be funded by $50,000 from the Westerville Parks Foundation, $25,000 from the Westerville Fund, $25,000 from the sale of inscribed bricks that will be included in the shelter and $50,000 from the parks capital improvement budget. Auler said the department expects to present bids for the project at council’s July 5 meeting to coincide with the final reading of the proposed reallocation.

Press Club of Cleveland St. Ann’s to return ThisWeek wins 21 awards to planning commission By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Westerville Planning Commission will vote on a new entrance and bed tower for Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital at its June meeting. St. Ann’s representatives will be before the planning commission at 6:30 p.m. June 22 with plans for a redesigned entrance, which will face Schrock Road rather than Cleveland Avenue, and a new cardiology tower, which will house an additional 30 beds, catheterization labs and an emergency-room chest pain unit. The plans mark Phase 3 of improvements for St. Ann’s Hospital. In previous months, the planning commission has approved a realignment of the hospital’s driveways, a parking lot expansion, a three-story parking deck and an expansion of the hospital’s foodservice facility and energy plant. Westerville senior planner Bassem Bitar said he doesn’t expect any major issues to arise from the planning commission regarding the hospital’s proposals because members have learned of St. Ann’s plans for the tower
and entrance as the hospital has come forward with requests for the other phases of its expansion. “The planning commission is ready for that,” he said. “It’s really working through the landscaping and architectural details.” Mount Carmel is expected to be before the planning commission later this year, likely in September, with a new master plan and a potential request for rezoning, Bitar said. That will allow the planning commission to work through any remaining concerns about St. Ann’s renovations, such as traffic flow, Bitar said. Also on the June 22 planning commission agenda is a request for a conditional-use permit from Education First Credit Union, which hopes to locate in the empty building at 501 W. Schrock Road, at the southwest corner of Schrock and Cooper roads. A bank always has been housed in that now-vacant building, Bitar said, but all businesses in Westerville with drive-throughs require a conditional-use permit. The credit union, which plans to move its corporate offices to the building’s second floor, also will seek a variance to place a
sign on the building. The third item on the June planning commission agenda is a request to modify the development plan for Parkside Village, a senior housing development at the southeast corner of Spring and Maxtown roads. The commission approved the development of senior housing on the site in April 2009, and construction of three-story assisted living facility is already under way. However, the developer wishes to alter original plans for a onestory, assisted-living building. Instead, the company wants to construct a three-story building for independent senior living. Bitar said the planning commission will have to decide whether the request constitutes a major or minor change to the development plan. If it’s deemed a minor change, the planning commission will have the authority to approve the application, but if it’s deemed major, the application will go to Westerville City Council for a final vote. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
School board OKs low bids for middle school improvements By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A bid to convert a woodshop to a classroom at Heritage Middle School and to soundproof the music room at Blendon Middle School came in $31,000 under estimate. The Westerville Board of Education approved a bid for $35,800 with Integrated Construction Services at a June 13 meeting. Board members questioned such a low bid, and facilities and operations services executive director Jeff LeRose said the district’s administration initially questioned the bid, as well. “We were aggressive with our questioning” of the contractor, LeRose said. “They wanted the project and they were very aggressive with their bid.” Superintendent Dan Good said the district tried to avoid the cost of soundproofing the band room by rescheduling classes, but that was not possible with the currently high population at the middle-
school level. “We looked at a lot of different options with scheduling not to use the science labs adjacent to the music room,” Good said. Teachers using those rooms last year complained that noise from the band room interfered with their classes. Also at the June 13 meeting, the board approved a $31,975 contract with Abbott Electrical, which came in $5,000 under the district’s project estimate. The board also voted to reject bids to add seven parking spaces to the transportation building at 125 E. Walnut St. after the district received only one bid for the project for $93,780, which was 88 percent over the budgeted cost, LeRose said. The district will plan to delay that expansion and include it in next summer’s capital-improvement projects, he said. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Hanby student creates winning invention By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
It’s not easy to ride a bike while carrying a baseball bat. That problem inspired fourth grade Hanby Magnet School student Marcus Morphy to create an award-winning invention, the “baseball tube.” His baseball tube, a cardboard tube with a strap, won the Chairman’s Choice Award at this year’s Invention Convention, held in May at COSI. That earned Morphy a free membership to the science center. “I was having trouble carrying my baseball stuff to the park with my bat and ball, especially my
bat,” he said of his inspiration. “You can put all your baseball stuff in (the baseball tube) and put it over your back and ride your bike to the park.” All students in his fourth-grade class participated in this year’s Invention Convention, crafting their projects at home. His project took second place at the school, which sent him on to the regional competition in Columbus. Morphy said it was the first time he created his own invention, and he said he enjoyed the process. “I made my real invention. You can actually use it,” he said. “I tested it out before the Invention Convention and it worked.” Morphy said the prize membership to COSI was a good win
for him, because he plans to use his membership frequently. The regional Invention Convention was open to students in kindergarten through eighth grade in a seven-county area. Students were charged to think of a simple, everyday problem and come up with a solution. Participation in the Invention Convention is free for schools; students win an array of awards, including college scholarships, cash prizes, COSI memberships and savings bonds. More than 340 students participated in this year’s central Ohio Invention Convention.

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 NAOMI above 160 beats per KERTESZ 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, treatment is not necessary.
Here at the Heart Center at 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.

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.

Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio
FAB 5 By Jim Fischer
jfischer@thisweeknews.com pair of pairs of female 1 A artists playing central Ohio in the coming week offers a chance for audiences to have a “saw-herwhen” moment. Gone-beyond-local singer-songwriter Megan Palmer and her band, The Hopefuls, accompanied by former northeast Ohio resident Ashley Brooke Toussant, will play the Rumba Café Friday, June 17. Both have throwback approaches — Palmer’s touched by the folk idiom and Toussant’s more out of the Tin Pan Alley school. Call (614) 268-1841. And be prepared for high levels of alternating tunefulness, cuteness and comedy as Rachel Platten and Bess Rogers bring their respective takes on modern pop songwriting to the Brothers Drake meadery Wednesday, June 22. The duo will perform solo sets and combine their talents as well. Call (614) 388-8675. Columbus Sympho2 The ny Orchestra’s summer Picnic with the Pops concert series opens this Saturday, June 18,
with special guests the Jazz Ambassadors of the United States Army bands. Founded in 1969, the Jazz Ambassadors is a touring big band of active military personnel. Chief Warrant Officer Gordon K. Kippola leads the Jazz Ambassadors — Albert-George Schram, as always, brings his effervescent personality to the CSO podium. Tickets are $20/$8 for lawn seating. Call (614) 228-8600 for tickets or table seating information. This concert begins the orchestra’s last summer season on the lawn at Chemical Abstracts Service. Picnic with the Pops moves to the new downtown Columbus Commons starting next summer. Africa’s The Par3 South lotones are unafraid to twist conventions of modern rock, making things complicated for, say, music writers. For example, just when you want to call the Johannesburg quartet “Killers-esque,” the next tune requires a whole new comparison. Tell you what — you head down to The Basement on Saturday, June 18, and check them out for yourself, and make your own comparisons. The Daylights opens. Tickets are $12. Call 1-800-745-3000.

That said, season nine winner Lee DeWyze seems like a nice guy, is not bereft of talent and is certainly marketable: His contemporary sense of style and Jason Mraz-meets-Bruno Mars adult pop provide built-in audiences. Columbus hosts the first date of his debut headlining tour. DeWyze, with opener Corey Crowder, plays The Basement Sunday, June 19. Tickets are $17. Call 1-800-7453000.
5 Elvis Costello has had a long
career marked by clever, well-crafted and catchy (kitschy?) pop and rock tunes. Dapper and armed with a wicked wit, Costello has aged well, refusing to succumb to the temptation of self-parody for the sake of appeasing an audience. He is, however, bringing back an old favorite — the Spectacular Spinning Songbook — for his latest Elvis Costello and the Imposters tour. A spin of the wheel determines the next song in the set list. The tour stops at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion for an outdoor show Sunday, June 19. Tickets are $45. Call 1-800-745-3000.

bus, so his return to town for this weekend’s Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival — during which he’ll play a gig with modern jazz-hop group Liquid Crystal Project — is a return to the old stomping grounds. “I loved my time in Columbus, loved the city and the people,” Whitted told The Beat of the seven years he spent here, gigging and teaching jazz studies at Ohio State University. “It’s a beautiful (jazz) scene.” In 2001, Whitted moved to Chicago to become director of jazz studies at Chicago State University. He continues to gig, especially throughout the Midwest, and recently released his first album in more than a decade. “I had been playing with some musicians in Chicago and we had developed a sound that was pretty special,” Whitted explained. “I wanted to write some music to sort of put that on display.” Transient Journey made the jazz charts and earned a nomination for Independent Jazz CD of the Year last year. The Creekside gig with Liquid Crystal project will feature primarily that group’s music, but Whitted said he hopes to be able to coordinate his bandmates’schedules enough to book a tour in support of Transient Journey. The Indianapolis, Ind., native came from a musical family (his uncle is trombonist Slide Hampton), and first picked up a trumpet at age 9. “I found it rummaging through a closet,” he recalled. “It was there, so I grabbed it. My brother, Tommy, played, and he helped me with learning notes and melodies and songs even before I could read music.” He pursued a career in music after receiving degrees from DePauw University and Indiana University. His playing style was heav-

ily influenced by Freddie Hubbard, whom he befriended and often gigged alongside. He has also played with Nancy Wilson, Clark Terry, Branford Marsalis, Jon Faddis, John Mellencamp and Aretha Franklin — to name a few. Teacher, composer, performer, recording artist — Whitted doesn’t consider himself one over the other. “This (all) is what I do. I could-
n’t do without any one of them,” he said. ■ For more on the Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com/blogs. And make sure to watch our video featuring festival director Karen Eylon and guitarists Steve Wald and Justin Reynolds, this year’s festival’s Rising Star.

Deli specials done right at Lexi’s on Third downtown As I stared at a crunchy toast-jacketed, fist-sized stack of juicy pastrami and corned beef sitting next to a pile of crispy fries, I thought about our government’s new dietary guidelines. Have you heard about this? Evidently that old food pyramid is out, and in is the just-introduced “My Plate” which, we’re now gloomily informed, is supposed to have only one-fourth of its space filled with protein. With a shrug, I shelved those “My Plate” thoughts into a mental china cabinet of disregard, then ravenously gulped back a massive hunk of that beef-packed sandwich. Its salt, fat and meat-tastic heft hit my slavering tongue and reptile brain like a runaway freight train leaking cole slaw. Instantly, I became glad that, like me, Lexi’s apparently has decided to ignore the un-American government memo. Lexi’s on Third is a newish casual Downtown player and already one of the better ones. This is clearly due to strong family roots. See, Lexi’s is the sister of Danny’s Deli on Front Street and the daughter of the long-popular Danny’s in
MENU by G.A. Benton Cleveland. Fans of the Columbus Danny’s — I qualify — will be happy that Lexi’s has vastly improved on its sibling’s model. Instead of Danny’s cramped and sealedoff basement atmosphere, Lexi’s is a bright, modern and airy glass cube in the Chase Bank building. Lexi’s has nice tile, plenty of seating, a wall of windows that offers a view onto the hustle and bustle of Downtown and a rotunda-like smaller space at the rear. Other upgrades are wine and beer service, longer hours (Danny’s closes at 3 p.m., Lexi’s at 8 p.m.) and a nifty little patio — my preferred perch, weather permitting. Significantly, what’s unaltered is the meat. Lexi’s offers the same high-grade Danny’s deli-cacies. Since breakfast is the best deal here,

The Love Connection at Lexi's on Third.
I’ll start there. And you should begin with Lexi’s killer Corned Beef Hash ($5). It’s an immense and immensely pleasing, nongreasy amalgam of corned beef, spuds and onion griddled to a golden brown and delightfully crinkly on the teeth. It comes with two eggs, and if you’re smart, you’ll pick over-easies and
“sauce” the heavenly hash with punctured yolks. Eat it, Tweet it and hashtag it #breakfastofchampions. If instead, you’re going for heartsmart (party pooper), try the creditable Veggie Omelet ($4.50). Served with excellent home fries, it’s more plant than egg, jammed with huge chunks of mushroom, spinach, peppers, onion and
tomato. The mammoth sandwich I referred to earlier is a choose-two-meats-and-addSwiss-cheese-and-cole-slaw ensemble called the Love Connection ($10.50). It’s messy yet wonderful and something to be shared. But keep your hands off my Roast
Lexi’s on Third Address: 100 E. Broad St.,downtown Phone: 614-229-5394 Web: lexisonthird.com Beef Melt. Not because it’s better than the great Love Connection, but because its hot meat, sauteed onions and melted Swiss are more digestible by one person, especially if ordered small or “slim” ($8). Using thinly shaved (read: easily ripped through) meats and perfectly toasted bread, it’s no surprise that Lexi’s deli sandwiches rock. But Lexi’s also makes good soups ($3), like a marvelous Matzo Ball and an unusual fruity gazpacho; worthy fries ($2) and sweet potato fries ($2.50); plus a surprisingly top-notch Greek salad ($7.50) and Gyro ($5.50, with big knobs of highly seasoned, crisply textured meat. Toss in a new, lighter and inexpensive happy hour menu (with wings, dips, deli sliders and shrimp in a whiskey-mustard sauce), and summer should be looking pretty good over my plate on Lexi’s patio.
Specialty cake is signature item of relocated bakery in Powell The “dream cake” at the Village Bakery has become a highly sought-after reality for many customers. “People call me from every state in the U.S. asking for it. There’s just no cake like it,” said NiQui Chatfield, owner of the new spot in Powell. The base of white cake is layered with fresh raspberries and covered in French vanilla whipped icing, hand-decorated with white chocolate chips. Cakes must be ordered 48 hours in advance to ensure that fresh fruit can be located. Chatfield and her husband, Tim, recently relocated the bakery from Granville, where it had been
known as Village Baker for 10 years until they bought the place in December. She kept the recipes of the original owner and also has added her own creations, such as pecan puffs, gingerbread men, baklava and Mississippi mud pies. The cold case is filled with selections that change daily, including iced cut-out cookies, scones and cinnamon twists. Village Bakery carries Crimson Cup coffee, a wholesale client. Seating at the bakery is limited to two tables.
By Chris Parker/ThisWeek
NiQui Chatfield puts the finishing touches on her “Dream Cake” at Village Bakery on June 10.
The Chatfields moved the store from Granville because of the bakery’s obscure location underneath a pizza parlor, which led to a lack of walk-in business. In addition, many of the bakery’s wholesale accounts were in Franklin County. They plan to return to Granville soon, however, with a retail storefront. And the expansion plans aren’t done. The couple will open yet another bakery in central Florida because Mr. Chatfield’s business, Progress Academy, an online K-12 school, keeps them in the Sunshine State three months a year. “We want a mom-and-pop feel to it but we’re working on a process where the recipes are easily duplicated in other stores,” he said. Over the years, the bakery forged a relationship with Denison University. After graduating and moving away, many of the students — and their families — still yearned for the dream cake, Chatfield said. “We do not ship it because it’s a refrigerated cake,” she said. “People come from all different states but they’re eating it in Ohio.” Chatfield said she soon will introduce some savory items, such as ham-and-cheese croissants, mini quiches and fresh-baked breads, the latter of which must be specially ordered. And she takes special requests. “I love custom baking,” she said. “Give me a challenge and I’ll figure it out. It’s fun.” The store is open morning and early afternoon hours six days a week, closed Sunday. For more information, call 740-587-0511.

Now he doesn’t know when it will happen. “It’s frustrating,” he said. “I wanted to be open.” Element, 250 N. Third St., is taking over the old Plugged Nickel location on the north side of downtown.

Westerville boys boat 4th in nation By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
After the Westerville high school club rowing team’s boys lightweight 8 finished 10th in the USRowing Youth Nationals a year ago, the eligible returnees were left wanting more. This year’s competitors were more satisfied after the national regatta held June 10-12 on Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn., where the boat placed fourth (6 minutes, 25.65 seconds) on the final day of the event.
The finish matched a program record for Westerville with the 2008 boys lightweight 8, which also placed fourth at youth nationals. Competing on the boat were seniors David Caspers, Matt Caspers, Grant Mohar and Matt Murdock, juniors Danny Just, Jon Weiss and coxswain Kevin Heppner, sophomore Patrick Lecorgne and freshman Ryan Kesselring. “We had a good weekend for a small-town club,” boys coach Matt Chase said. “We had hoped to get on
the medal stand by getting in the top 3, but it’s difficult with a small squad to get that high. We were going headto-head with a team like Canisius out of Buffalo, which has 80 boys on its varsity men’s squad, and I’ve got 14. “A year ago, we were 10th in the nation and after the event the boys kind of cornered me and asked how they could do better. I said, ‘It’s hard.’ We’ve definitely improved.” Also competing for Westerville were its boys varsity 4, its girls varsity 8 and its girls lightweight 8.
The boys varsity 4 finished first in the B-Final in 6:54.82 to place seventh overall. Rowing on the boat were seniors Jeremy Sobiech, Mike Tarnapoll and Hunter Lecorgne, junior Ben Leonard and junior coxswain Taylor Gainey. The girls varsity 8 of seniors Ashley Bauer, Anna Lind, Cara Linse and coxswain Amanda Poll, juniors Victoria Langwasser, Tatiana Lundstrom, Boston Shields and Mary Stump and sophomore Jackie Huddle was second in the C-Final in 7:12.76 to place
14th overall. The girls lightweight 8 of seniors Alison Edwards and Sarah Scott and coxswain Alex Sawatzki, junior Liz Akin and Gracie Bachmann, sophomores Grace Busick, Kaitlyn Cantrell and Delaney West and freshman Kelsey Michely placed third in the CFinal in 7:39.42 for 15th overall. At youth nationals last year, Westerville had two boys boats but no girls boats. See ROWING, page D4
Commentary
Athletes learn through sports 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. LARRY As in the LARSON 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 have found that teams strengthen bonds between people because you have worked so hard together.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “From sports I have learned discipline and the true value of being selfless. A team can only be successful when no one is concerned with who gets the credit.” Mary Wells, Westerville South, bowling: “Sports have improved my self-confidence and helped me stay motivated. Also, sports have taught me how to win and lose gracefully and have taught me time management.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Sports have been a benchmark for me in my development. They have created discipline in my life, especially from the mental side of things. 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 and 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 and 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 accom-

Track & Field
OCC title stands out for Central boys By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Westerville Central High School boys track and field team enjoyed several accomplishments this season, including winning the OCC-Cardinal Division meet May 12 and 14 at Pickerington North. Under first-year coach Justin Rush, the Warhawks (126.5 points) finished ahead of Olentangy (104.5), Olentangy Liberty (102), Westerville North (90), Marysville (72.25), Westerville South
(66.25), Dublin Scioto (49.5) and Dublin Jerome (44). Junior sprinter Channing Doermann won the 200 meters (22.58 seconds) in the OCC-Cardinal meet. Central was sixth (53) in the Division I, district 1 meet at Hilliard Bradley at May 17, 19 and 21, finishing behind firstplace Thomas Worthington (87). Junior sprinter Davon Reed won the 100 (11.33) and sophomore Charlie Moushey won the pole vault (14 feet, 3 inches). The Warhawks tied Canal Winches-

D2 Grant Hammond for fourth (14-6) in the ter and Lancaster for ninth (27) at the regional meet May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North behind co-champions Thomas Worthington and Westerville North (37 each). Doermann won the 200 (22.0) and joined Reed and seniors Dominique Cook and Dillon Seckman on the second-place 800 relay (1:28.95). Reed was fourth in the 100 (11.22). Moushey tied Canal Winchester’s
pole vault, with Hammond earning the state berth by winning the tiebreaking vault-off. The top four finishers in each regional event advanced to state June 3-4 at Ohio State. “Charlie is going to be a force in the pole vault with a lot of those really good vaulters leaving, other than (Jake) Blankenship from Gahanna,” Rush said.

Baseball
Thomas among central Ohio MLB draft picks By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Four players who competed in high school baseball in central Ohio were selected in the Major League Baseball draft on June 6-8. R.L. Eisenbach, a 2006 Newark Catholic graduate, was taken in the 23rd round by the San Diego Padres with the 713th pick. A 6-foot, 180-pound left-handed pitcher, Eisenbach played on Division IV state championship teams at Newark Catholic in 2004 and 2006. Jason King, a 2007 Dublin Jerome graduate, was selected in the fourth round by the Detroit Tigers with the 137th selection. A third baseman, King also was picked by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 48th round in 2007, but he opted to attend Kansas State. Phil Klein, a 2007 Gahanna graduate, was taken in the 30th round (924th overall) by the defending American League champion Texas Rangers. The 6-7, 230-pound right-hander had been pitching at Youngstown State. Ben Thomas, a 2007 Westerville Central graduate, was drafted by the World Series champion San Francisco Giants in the 34th round (1,047th overall). The 6-1, 240-pound Photo courtesy of Xavier University first baseman had been playing at Xavier. Eisenbach, who originally made a college Ben Thomas, a 2007 Central graduate, was taken in the 34th round of the MLB amateur draft by the San Francisco Giants after excelling commitment to Buffalo, posted a 14-2 record and 1.48 ERA this spring as a senior at FaulknSee LARSON, page D4 as a first baseman at Xavier University.
er University in Montgomery, Ala. He led the nation in victories, limiting opponents to a .165 batting average as the Eagles advanced to the NAIA World Series for the first time. Eisenbach, who also played at Grayson County (Texas) Community College and Lubbock (Texas) Christian, was named the Southern States Athletic Conference’s Pitcher of the Year. Eisenbach is the first player from Newark Catholic to be drafted since Doug Wollenburg and Mark Mesewicz were picked in 1992. Eisenbach played Little League and Babe Ruth ball with current Rangers pitcher and Newark native Derek Holland. “I’m very excited about the opportunity I have to play professional baseball,” Eisenbach said. “I’m ready to get started on the career I’ve always wanted.” King, who has one year of eligibility remaining at Kansas State, said that he expects to forego his final collegiate season and sign with the Tigers. “I’m still in shock,” said King, who missed the 2010 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in October 2009. “I can’t believe it. After everything I went through with my arm and not even playing last year, it’s honestly a dream come true. I See DRAFT, page D4

Wildcats boys have ‘real successful season’ At a glance
The Westerville South High School track and field program enters the offseason with a goal of getting back to the Division I state meet. The boys and girls teams did not qualify anyone for state June 3 and 4 at Ohio State. The boys team must replace 16 seniors, including Ray Ball, who will play football at Wisconsin. The Wildcats finished sixth (66.25 points) in the OCC-Cardinal meet May 12 and 14 at Pickerington North behind Westerville Central (126.5), Olentangy (104.5), Olentangy Liberty (102), Westerville North (90) and Marysville (72.25) and ahead of Dublin Scioto (49.5) and Dublin Jerome (44). Ball won the shot put (50 feet, 11 3/4 inches). Seniors Brian Anu and Drake Wakefield, sophomore Noah Prentiss and freshman Torrodd Carter won the 400 relay (43.49 seconds) and Prentiss, Carter, junior Kelly Carter and sophomore Myles Collier won the 800 relay (1:29.71).
•Finishes: Boys — Sixth in OCC-Cardinal, 10th in Division I, district 2, tied for 32nd in regional; Gir ls — Fourth in OCC-Cardinal, seventh in district 4, tied for 24th in regional •Seniors lost: Boys — Brian Anu, Ray Ball, Kwadwo Boakye, Nicholas Conley, Deante’ Drummer, Jalen Edwards, Matt Hay, Pat Johnson, Benson Jung, Adam Kendrick, Evan Moorer, John Sanchez, Samual Schumann, Osman Villeda, Drake Wakefield and John Young; Girls — Edpetra Adarquah, Kate Beachler, Breyona Colley, Alesha Collins, Klara Fredriksson, Lizzy Gauen, Johanna Helba, Carly Marburger, Elizabeth Markle, Sarah Markle, Victoria Sumner, Monica Velez and Lori Whitson •Key returnees: Boys — Kelly Carter, Torrodd Carter, Myles Collier, Richard Dahome, Troy Elizondo and Noah Prentiss; Girls — Nikia Buckingham, Alex Hall, Leija Harris, Abbey McDonald and Tori Stout
Kelly and Torrodd Carter are brothers. South finished 10th (37) in the Division I, district 2 meet behind first-place Hilliard Davidson (109) on May 17, 19 and 21 at Hilliard Bradley. Finishing third for South were Ball in the shot put (49-4 1/4) and Kelly Carter in the 400 (50.44).
South tied Marietta and Vincent Warren for 32nd (3) in the regional meet May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North. Kelly Carter was sixth (50.18) in the 400. The top four finishers in each regional event qualified for state. “I thought we had a real successful season,” said boys coach Jimmy Gaul, who is the son of girls coach Jim Gaul. “We had a great group of guys. They trained hard, they worked hard and they cheered for each other. They really enjoyed practicing together and competing together. When you have a group like that as long as they’re going out there and competing at their best every time we touch the track, you can’t really ask for much more.” •The girls team should return a solid group next season, led by several talented sprinters.

Westerville North High School track and field coach Johnny Jackson uses the regular season to help his teams prepare for what he anticipates will be a challenging postseason. The strategy worked for the boys team, which responded by sharing first place with Thomas Worthington in the Division I regional meet May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North. The Warriors and Cardinals each scored 37 points. Senior Brian Hannaford, who will run at Ohio State, won the 3,200 meters in a regional record time of 9 minutes, 14.42 seconds. Pickerington North’s Daniel Garleb set the previous record of 9:15.73 in 2010. Hannaford also joined seniors Kevin Ford and Ryan Weldon and sophomore Jacob Dumford in winning the 3,200 relay (7:52.05). Junior Joey Wilkin was second (14.75) in the 110 hurdles. The Warriors finished in a five-way tie for 30th (8) at state on June 3 and 4 at Ohio State as Cincinnati LaSalle (36) won the title. Hannaford appeared to be headed to a high finish in the 3,200, but he lost his right shoe near the midway point and was forced to leave the race. Hannaford said a competitor stepped on his heel. Dumford was third (1:52.72) in the 800 and the 3,200 relay finished seventh (7:54.58). “The seniors had a fantastic journey,” Jackson said. North opened the postseason by finishing fourth (90) at the OCC-Cardinal Division meet on May 12 and 14 at Pickerington
•Finishes: Boys — Fourth in OCCCardinal, seventh in Division I, district 1, tied for first in regional, tied for 30th in state; Gir ls — Third in OCC-Cardinal, seventh in district 1, tied for 38th in regional •Seniors lost: Boys — Mitch Cousins, Kevin Ford, Brian Hannaford, Jeff Hannaford, Keenan McCormack, Ryan Merrill, Scott Meyer, Jake Slaback, Hosea Thorton and Ryan Weldon; Girls — De’Lesia Dailey, Jacquia Hearn, Kaitlyn Kropf, Meghan Maurer, Linda Sandvik, Sarah Schlotter, Kayla Smith and Ashley VanSickle. •Key returnees: Boys — Emmanuel Adu, Corey Cole, Jacob Dumford, Kent Ford and Joey Wilkin; Girls — Suzanne Case, Rachel Jackson, Sarah Koch, Gabie Pace and Monica Petruzzi
On the distance side, he was probably our top athlete, so losing Jeff made it a little rough at the beginning, but the boys pulled together and got a whole lot better. The regional title was definitely unexpected, but that was very good. The number of kids we got to the state was very good, too.” •Senior Meghan Maurer, who will compete in track and field at Bowling Green, led the girls team. Maurer and sophomores Sarah Koch, Gabie Pace and Monica Petruzzi opened the postseason by winning the 1,600 relay (4:04.41) in the OCC-Cardinal meet. The Warriors finished third (78) in the league meet behind Scioto (150) and Olentangy (116) and ahead of Westerville South (75.33), Liberty (73), Westerville Central (65.33), Jerome (56) and Marysville (48.33). North was seventh (45) in the district 1 meet behind first-place Dublin Coffman (152). The 1,600 relay was second (4:04.61). The Warriors tied Hamilton Township and Teays Valley for 38th (1) at regional, where the 1,600 relay was eighth (4:07.17). “I’m happy with the season, but not totally happy because I didn’t make it to the state meet,” Maurer said. “I’m happy because more people moved on than last year.” Maurer credited Jackson for her success and giving her the opportunity to compete at the collegiate level. “He’s one the best coaches around,” she said.

Stallions working hard to improve in offseason By JARROD ULREY
By Adam Cairns/ThisWeek
DeSales’ Brad Bohus (right) gets a high-five from teammate Chris Kurek after scoring a run during the Stallions’ 9-8 victory over Akron Hoban in the Division II state final on June 4. The Stallions had no seniors and expect to return their entire team next season.
DeSales Roundup
Baseball team made improbable title run By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers
This wasn’t supposed to be the year that the DeSales High School baseball team won the Division II state championship. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year. With no seniors and a roster featuring new starters at nearly every position, it was tough to foresee an ending in which DeSales won the state title. But that’s what happened as the Stallions defeated Akron Hoban 9-8 in the state final on June 4 at Huntington Park. “We had 12 juniors and not a lot of guys with experience (at the start of the season),” shortstop Brennan Schlabig said. “Really, we had to learn throughout the year. We played some close games and knew (through those close games) that everyone had each other’s back.” DeSales finished 21-9 overall and won the CCL championship, going 7-1 to finish ahead of Watterson (5-3), Hartley (44), Ready (2-6) and St. Charles (2-6). However, the Stallions got off to a slow start, as they opened with a 12-2, five-inning loss to Olentangy on March 28 and lost 8-0 to Hartley on April 8. “Those were learning games,” Schlabig said. “Getting those games and getting basically demolished showed us what type of games we needed to play to make the tournament run we did.” As the players became comfortable in their roles, team chemistry flourished. Junior T.J. Alas solidified himself as the team’s top pitcher, finishing 90 after earning the decision in a 4-2 win over defending state champion Jonathan Alder in a state semifinal on June 3. Alas, who entered the state semifinal with a 1.71 ERA, was named second-team all district. DeSales also showed a knack for coming from behind. They overcame a five-run deficit to beat Canal Winchester 11-10 in a district semifinal on May 19 and scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to force extra innings in a district final against Big Walnut on May 21, pulling out a 5-4 win in nine innings. The Stallions then defeated Uhrichsville Claymont 3-2 in a regional semifinal on May 26 and beat Steubenville 10-8 in a regional final on May 27 before defeating Jonathan Alder and Hoban to win their first state championship since 1979. DeSales expects to return

In at least one respect, the DeSales High School football team’s 14-7 loss to eventual state champion Watterson in a Division III, Region 10 firstround playoff game last November prompted it to take a different approach to its 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 regularseason finale helped DeSales earn a state-best 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, though a disappointment at the time, hasn’t been a complete loss, according to coach Ryan Wiggins. “I think we’ve had a good offseason,” he said. “Our offseason was a little bit longer than it’s been with us being out in the first round, but we were able to get in a lot of good work in the weight room. Eventually the weight room gets a little old, but the offseason is a good time for us to refocus.” That 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 4.

could take on leadership roles in the coming season as DeSales looks to bounce back from a 5-6 record, its first losing season since 1974. Wiggins and his coaching staff spent some of the spring talking specific-ally about what the Stallions must do to have more success defensively and up front on both sides of the ball. Although DeSales won four of its first six games last fall, it lost consecutive games to Lakewood St. Edward (62-0), Watterson (31-7) and Cincinnati LaSalle (35-17) before beating Benedictine. The Stallions play host to Watterson on Oct. 14 and to LaSalle on Oct. 21 but do not play St. Edward this season. The five teams DeSales lost to during the regular season last fall entered the postseason with a combined 45-4 record. “We had so much turnover across the board with all of the injuries,” Wiggins said. “Our senior class was a little lower in numbers, especially in linemen on both sides of the ball, so some of our younger kids got a chance. “I think the guys are hungry. What happened a year ago is still fresh in their minds. Expectations are high at a place like DeSales, and that’s a good thing. Our kids are ready, which is a great thing about tradition.”

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. “This offseason, (Ball) has been able to go at it full body during workouts,” Wiggins said. The Stallions also lost quarterback Nick Gentile and twoway regulars Sam Borghese (TE/LB), Santino Cua (OL/LB), Evan Kendrick (RB/DB), Tony Moore (OL/DL) and Michigansignee Chris Rock (OL/DL) to graduation. Enough underclassmen saw significant action last season, however, to leave Wiggins feeling good about the experience he has returning.

everyone, including junior pitcher/infielder Nick Eltzroth and junior outfielder Derek Traini, both of whom were second-team all-district, and junior catcher Jack Miller, a three-year starter. Also expected to return are Alas, Schlabig, juniors Brad Bohus (1B), Joe Chagnon (P), Zak DeCamp (3B), Domenic Delmonte (3B/P/OF), Chris Kurek (OF), Ryan Maloney (P/3B/OF), Daulton Nebraska (2B/OF) and Mario Pollina (P/C/3B), sophomore Alex Perrine (OF/P/INF) and freshmen Domenic Skunda (3B/OF/C) and Bryan Stopar (P/OF/1B). Through 28 games, Perrine was leading the team with a .424 batting average, followed by Alas, DeCamp and Eltzroth, each of whom was hitting .382. Alas was leading the team with 23 RBI. “I know going into next year not to underestimate these guys,” coach Tom Neubert said. “It’s exciting knowing everyone is coming back. Usually you’re losing at least one or two guys. It’s always nice to have a great group back.” •The softball team reached the state tournament for the first time since 1982, losing 5-3 to LaGrange Keystone in a Division II state semifinal on June 2 at Akron Firestone Stadium. The Stallions finished 26-4 overall and won the CCL title, going 6-0 to finish ahead of Ready (3-3), Hartley (2-4) and Watterson (1-5). DeSales won its third district
title in five years, defeating Hilliard Bradley 2-0 in a district final on May 20. It then defeated New Concord John Glenn 14-2 in a regional semifinal on May 26 and beat Logan Elm 90 in a regional final on May 28 before falling to Keystone. The Stallions lose five seniors in Amanda Herron (firstteam all-league), Aly McGinnis, Kelsey Seeds (first-team allleague, all-district and all-state), Courtney Somers (first-team allleague) and Mary Wickert (firstteam all-league). Seeds was a four-year starter at pitcher. Junior Sarah Flint is expected to take over in the circle next season. Flint, who batted .489, was one of the top hitters in a lineup that also included juniors Bryn Allen and Kelsey Albanese and sophomore Anna Gentile, all of whom batted better than .325, according to coach Julie Barber. Juniors Cassady Jenkins, Deonna Jones and Ninamarie Powell are expected to return to the outfield. “We are very confident in our returning players and feel with proper preparation we can return to the level of play that we were at this year,” Barber said. “We are not only excited about this group of young ladies, but the players on our junior varsity team that are moving up. Our junior varsity team posted an impressive record and showed tremendous growth.”

The senior 4 and lightweight 8 boats each failed to advance from their heats, while the junior 4, the lightweight 4 and the freshman 8 boats all advanced to semifinals. In past seasons, UA also competed in the USRowing Youth Nationals but the Midwest Junior qualifier for that event was held the same weekend (May 21-22) as the Midwest qualifier for the SRAA regatta. Forced to choose, the Bears elected to compete in the high school-only event. The boys squad had a combined 40 athletes among its freshman and sophomore classes. “Our lightweight 4 was close, but they didn’t have enough to push into the finals,” said Chris Swartz, who completed his 19th season leading the program. “Our lightweight 8 was all sophomores, so we’re looking forward to having a couple lightweight 8s next year.” While the girls team had no seniors during the spring season, the boys will lose six in captains Perry Kleinhenz and Grant Schick as well as Eric Bleich, Paul Mandell and David Perez and coxswain Anne Ferrell, who competed for the boys team. Next year’s boys captains are juniors James Lucks, Addison Moore and Teddy Thompson. Other key juniors this season were Keith Gramila, Jake Johnston and Zach Politz.

“We had such a bad season with having two of our regattas canceled,” girls coach Trish Chase said. “I really didn’t know how to gauge where they were and I thought we did pretty much what we should have. They looked very strong and in their final races they did extremely well. After not being at youth nationals last year, we were happy to get these boats there.” •For the Upper Arlington boys and girls rowing teams, this season was about taking a step forward despite having large numbers of young competitors. Both squads believe they did just that. At the Scholastic Rowing Association of American (SRAA) Nationals held specifically for high school teams May 27 and 28 on the Cooper River in Camden, N.J., the Bears had five boys and two girls boats competing. The junior 8 girls boat featuring juniors Emory Bergdoll, Angelina Caradonna, Zoe Ribar and Ceri Turner, sophomores Ashley Holden, Kate Lowes, Grace Tucker and Ashley Williams and coxswain Summers Hammel finished fifth (5 minutes, 23.1 seconds) in the grand final. The junior 8 race was specifically for underclassmen. “The semifinal was probably more exciting than the grand final because we had to turn it on just to make it to the grand final,” said Andy Wimmer, who has coached the team the last two seasons. “That was kind of exciting for the junior 8 boat. The girls did awesome. It was good to know that we were the fastest out of our region at nationals.” julrey@thisweeknews.com The girls also had their freshman 8 boat fin- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Football
Area players set for Cap City game By JARROD ULREY

ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Grove City High School graduate Luke Smurthwaite hasn’t forgotten his previous experience with Briggs football coach Derek Katris. The year before Katris took over the Bruins in 2009, he served as an assistant with the Dawgs junior varsity team and worked with Smurthwaite and the rest of the team’s offense. Over the next two seasons, Smurthwaite developed into one of central Ohio’s top quarterbacks. He helped Grove City Christian to a Division VI state semifinal in 2009 when Grove City didn’t have fall sports and passed for more than 2,300 yards last fall in the Dawgs’ return season. He signed in February to play for Kent State. Smurthwaite is expected to see significant time at quarterback Saturday, June 18, at Westerville Central as a member of the West all-stars, which will be coached by Katris in the second Cap City Senior Bowl presented by Capcitypreps.com. “My sophomore year, (Katris) took care of the j.v. team and he completely ran the offense,” Smurthwaite said. “We ran a whole bunch of crazy formations, but at the same time, he wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work.” Smurthwaite is expected to be one of four players from Grove City who will be reunited with Katris, along with Bobby Brown (OL), Ken Reichle (LB) and his brother, Christian Smurthwaite (WR/DB). Luke Smurthwaite also played in the Ohio North-South All-Star Classic on April 22. Others listed on the West roster include Hilliard Davidson’s Logan Backstrom (OL) and Isa Tate (LB), Ready’s Demetrius Clark (RB), Columbus West’s Garryt AbfalterScott (WR), Dublin Scioto’s Jerry Miles (LB), Grandview’s Dan Satterthwaite (OL/DL) and Whetstone’s Jordan Mitchell (RB/DB). In college, Miles will play for Villanova, Backstrom will play for Ken-

tucky Christian, Clark will play for Ashland and Mitchell and Tate will play for Urbana. Mitchell, who scored 21 touchdowns and rushed for more than 1,800 yards, and Abfalter-Scott, who had 57 catches for 821 yards, were two of the City League’s top offensive players last season. “I’m really excited about it,” Katris said. “I’ve got a couple coaches from the Briggs staff who are going to help me, and it’s an opportunity to do something I haven’t done before. I’ll be working with some of the kids from Grove City that I worked with when I was an assistant there. Jordan Mitchell ran for 250 yards when (Whetstone) played against us (in a 27-21 overtime win by Briggs last season). Demetrius Clark lives right down the road.” The West all-stars lost to the East team 22-0 in last year’s game. The event originally was formed as the City League All-Star game in 2008 but was expanded to include players from throughout central Ohio and had its name changed last summer. In addition to having players who live in the eastern portion of Columbus, the East all-star roster will have two players from Ashland High School who have plans to play in college. Marcus Fuller was the quarterback last season for Ashland, which lost to MarionFranklin 12-7 in Week 3 of the regular season but went on to make the Division II, Region 5 playoffs.

tance of game director Anthony Murphy. Marcus Fuller will play football for Brown University and prep teammate Cody Hickey (OL) will play for Mount Union. Others expected to compete for the East all-stars who have committed to play in college include Westerville South’s Jayshon Jackson (RB, Grand Rapids Community College), Marion-Franklin’s Jeremy McCoy (WR/DB, Kent State), Groveport’s Anthony Pruitt (OL/DL, Kent State), New Albany’s Vinnie Cordova (OL, Eastern Illinois) and Westerville Central’s Miles Fisher (DB, Air Force). St. Charles coach Jeff Pharion will lead the East all-stars. “We’re going to keep it real simple offensively, but simple doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun with it,” Pharion said. “I know we’re getting a kid from Ashland who is going to play football for Brown University.” “I’m just excited about getting a chance to play football again with some kids I know and guys I played against,” Fisher said. “It’ll also be like a warm-up for when I go to Air Force.” •BIG 33 ALL-STARS — Also on Saturday, June 18, the 54th annual Big 33 Game will be held in Hershey Park Stadium in Hershey, Pa., and will feature allstars from Ohio against all-stars from Pennsylvania.
