South-Western City Schools
Administrator contract allows merit pay By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Performance-based merit raises are part of a new contract negotiated between South-Western City Schools and the union representing the district’s administrators. The two-year contract was approved June 10 by South-Western Administrators Association and by the school board on June 13. It provides for a 0.5-percent
base-pay increase for the 2011-12 school year and a 1-percent increase for the 201213 school year. The pact replaces a one-year contract, signed in June 2010, that had no base-pay increase. Beginning with the 2012-13 school
year, new administrative employees, and any current administrators who opt to do so, will take part in a merit-based compensation structure. That structure will be developed during the 2011-12 school year by district officials and the South-Western Administrators Association (SWAA), which represents about 85 administrators. “I believe this contract is very similar to those of OAPSE (Ohio Association of
Public School Employees) and SWEA (South-Western Education Association)” negotiated earlier this year, said board vice president Randy Reisling. “It (the contract) does have an additional piece ... a merit-based compensation structure,” he said. “I think this is a very exciting turn of events and something we look forward to implementing.” The merit pay would be based on an individual’s performance during the pre-
vious school year. Superintendent Bill Wise said after the meeting that could mean an individual could get a bigger raise than other administrators or get no raise at all. Step pay increases and pension and health benefits remain the same as those in the previous contract. The new agreement runs from July 1 to June 30, 2013. See SOUTH-WESTERN, page A2
Westland Area Commission
Athlete heading to Special Olympics World Games
WAC fills vacancy, talks about raising its profile By CARLA SMITH ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Jeff Brewer, who goes to church in his Clintonville neighborhood but works at an office supply store in the Northland area, won’t be in either community June 25 through July 4. He’ll be in Athens. Not the one in the rolling hills of southeastern Ohio. The Goodwill Columbus athlete will be in Athens, Greece, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Brewer will be one of 7,500 athletes from 185 countries participating in the 2011 Special Olympics World Games, held in the white marble Panathinaiko Stadium. Panathinaiko was the primary stadium for the first modern Olympics in 1896 and was a venue when the games returned to Athens in 2004. Brewer, 37, specializes in the pentathalon, which in Special Olympics involves a 100yard dash, running long jump, shot put and 400-meter dash. He also runs in the 4 by 100meter relay. “I like the 100,” Brewer said last week as he prepared for yet another in a long series of training sessions at the GoodBy Chris Parker/ThisWeek will Columbus headquarters Jeff Brewer, who has qualified to compete in the Special Olympics World Games in Athens, Greece, See AREA ATHLETE, page A3 works out in preparation for the event.
The Westland Area Commission filled a vacancy, talked about climbing on the the social media bandwagon and hashed out plans to make itself more visible at the July 4 celebration. The commission met June 15 and unanimously approved the appointment of David Van Order to fill a vacancy. Van Order met with a nominating committee prior to the evening’s meeting, and the committee recommended his appointment as a commission member. Commission chair Linda Pitts said Van Order will serve for a year and then will be required to stand for re-election to serve a three-year term. Van Order said he has been a lifelong West Side resident, graduating from West High School and then Ohio State University. He has two daughters, both educated within the South-Western City School District, he said. “I have wanted to do this for quite some time,” Van Order said. “I believe we are morally obligated to help our community. I want to help promote our area in central Ohio.” Pitts said the next step is to notify Columbus City Council of Van Order’s appointment. If within 30 days the commission doesn’t hear any reason why Van Order can’t serve, he will be able to participate as a voting member. The commission also agreed to start promoting itself through Facebook. Commission member Melissa BarthKelly will be in charge of maintaining the site, which will feature information on the commission and allow residents to give their input. “This is a way to keep people updated about the commission,” Barth-Kelly said. “It is another way to reach out and let people know who we are and what we are doing.” Commission member Shawn Thomas had some concerns about moving forward with a Facebook page without first obtaining the approval of Columbus City Council. Barth-Kelly said there were already other commissions doing the same thing and that several city departments have their own Facebook pages. Pitts said before the commission moves forward on the Facebook page, she would also feel more comfortable in clearing it with the city first. “I do believe it is a great idea,” she added. Pitts said she also believes that the commission can edSee WAC, page A2

SOUTH-WESTERN Continued from page A1 Three-year contracts were reached this year for OAPSE, which represents classified workers, and SWEA, which represents teachers and other certified personnel. They contain no meritbased compensation. Those contracts had no base pay increases the first year. They each contain a 0.5-percent basepay increase for the 2011-12 school year and a 1-percent increase for the 2012-13 school year. Wise said after the meeting that merit pay is a possible negotiating item with those unions in the future. “We are excited about the possibilities that this agreement (with SWAA) gives us as we continue to put reforms into place that support our work to improve student learning,” Wise said in a statement. The board voted 4-1 to approve the SWAA pact. Board member Jo Ellen Myers, as she did earlier this year with the other two contracts, voted against it. She said she would have supported a one-year contract. She

said she wants to see what happens with Senate Bill 5, which was signed into law earlier this year and significantly restricts collective bargaining by publicemployee unions. That law is on hold as unions and other opponents seek to get more than 230,000 signatures to place the issue up for a statewide referendum vote in November. The board also: • Recognized 25 district employees who have retired or will retire before the start of the new school year. Several had worked in the district for more than 30 years. • Heard a brief report from treasurer Hugh Garside about the budget for fiscal year 2012. He said enrollment remains flat and costs, except for diesel and gasoline, appear to be stable. Last month, in his five-year forecast for the district, Garside estimated a $58-million cash carryover as fiscal year 2012 begins. For the year, he said, revenues would be about $208 million and expenditures about $200 million.

on Edgehill Road and at the nearby Grandview Heights High School track-and-field facility. Brewer earned two silver medals in those events last summer at the Special Olympics 2010 National Games in Lincoln, Neb. Steve Weaver, Brewer’s coach and mentor at Goodwill Columbus, said last week it was just after the 2010 games that he was asked if his athlete would be capable of representing the United States at the 2011 World Games. Heck, yes, was Weaver’s opinion, but he had to ask Brewer’s family. Weaver got the call inquiring if Brewer would be up to an overseas trip just as their plane was landing in Columbus, and there was precious little time to make the decision. When he broke the news to Brewer’s waiting relatives, one of his aunts broke down in tears. “His aunt just started bawling, which almost got me started bawling,” Weaver said. Brewer lives with his younger brother, Gary, in Clintonville. Their parents are both deceased, their mother just last year from colon cancer, Jeff Brewer said. “The trip will require Brewer to take some time off work and his community obligations,” according to an announcement from Goodwill Columbus. Brewer works at the Staples store in the Karl Plaza on East Dublin-Granville Road, cleaning the restrooms, stocking shelves and helping customers. “I told one of my bosses on Monday (about the Athens trip), and he said, ‘That’s good, have

a good time,’” Brewer said. He worships at Crestview Presbyterian Church on East Tulane Road, where he has been in the choir, he said, since April 1999. He assists a classroom of second-graders with reading and helps clean the church. “Jeff also has volunteered his time to help the homeless by working locally at the Faith Mission,” the Goodwill announcement stated. “I will be doing my best at the world games, knowing all my family and friends in Columbus will be cheering me,” Brewer was quoted as saying. “I put a lot of pressure on Jeff, and he always comes through and performs,” coach Weaver said last week. “He is a joy to train.” And he’s been getting a lot of training, Weaver added; they’ve been working together three days a week since January to get Brewer ready for Special Olympics World Games. Weaver said he has high hopes for Brewer to do well at the Games. “Because I know what he’s capable of,” the coach added. The goal of the athletic program at Goodwill Columbus is to give young people with various types of disabilities a “high school athletic experience,” Weaver said. Goals are set for each of the Goodwill Columbus
Gladiators, and they hold team meetings and an awards banquet. “We literally work from the ground up,” Weaver said. “We try to have as much fun as possible.” Team USA will consist of 300 athletes from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Goodwill announcement. Also representing Ohio will be Amanda Gump from the Special Olympics program in Wood County. “The things I have done at Goodwill and with Special Olympics have helped me to be more outgoing, develop a sense of accomplishment and take pride in doing my best while working toward this goal,” Brewer was quoted as saying in the announcement. Before the Athens games begin, Brewer will spend June 20-24 with fellow United States Special Olympians, staying with host families in nearby Rhodes. “There he will train, taste traditional cuisine and experience Greek sporting, cultural and artistic events,” according to Goodwill. Brewer said he plans to take some buckeyes with him as presents for his host family, in keeping with a Greek tradition. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

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 nor-
mally 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 NAOMI that of your family. In many cases, treatment is not necesKERTESZ sary. 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. 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.

MAJESTICS QUARTET Continued from page A1 town and WLAC out of Nashville.” “Those stations played music you couldn’t hear anywhere else,” said Workman, who plays guitar and still lives in Upper Arlington. And playing their favorite soul songs, like those released by the Stax/Volt and Atlantic record labels, the Majestics Quartet’s concerts were also unlike almost anything else in central Ohio. “There weren’t necessarily a lot of people who liked that kind of music, but they all came to see us because hardly anyone else was playing it,” Workman said. “It was very raw and earthy music. We just loved it,” said Balser, a Galloway resident who handles guitar, trumpet, bass and vocal duties. “The passionate vocals and the rhythm of the music just drew us in.” By the time the friends graduated and started attending Ohio State, they were playing concerts throughout Ohio, Wilson said. “It helped pay for my college,” he said. The band even had a chance to make a record at Magnetic Studios, which was located right across the street from the Grandview Library. Workman still has a copy of that record, which featured the R’n’B classic “Money” backed by Rufus Thomas’ “Walkin’ the Dog.” “We were serious about our fun,” Workman said. “We were well enough focused that we didn’t see music as a career, but we sure had fun.” After college, as marriage and
careers beckoned, the band disbanded, although Sproat kept a version of the group together. “He’s the mainstay through all the years,” Balser said. The four friends reunited in 1984 when they were asked to play a benefit for Children’s Hospital. Nowadays, the quartet performs once or twice a month, Workman said. Their concerts feature many of the ’60s soul and R’n’B classics they performed as teens, as well as songs from artists such as Three Dog Night and the Eagles. Playing music together after all these years is a gift they treasure, he said. “Imagine if you were an athlete in high school and you were able to get back and play with the same people, except you’re even
better than you were in high school,” Workman said. “That’s what we get to do with music.” “We feel blessed for sure,” Balser said. “If you’re an athlete after 30 or 40 years, you’re going to lose your skills. We’re better know because we know what we’re doing. We have that experience as musicians.” Although as teens they were excited about being able to make a record, “I think we appreciate what we had back then a lot more now,” Wilson said. When they get together for rehearsals these days, the camaraderie they shared during their teens remains, Workman said. “We still tell the same kind of jokes and have the same kind of laughs,” he said. “It keeps you feeling young.”

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

Post 532W is eager for season By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Don Gentile American Legion Post 532W baseball team again is comprised primarily of players from SouthWestern City Schools. Post 532W coach Greg Burke and Westland High School coach Dave Daniels teamed to form the squad, which is 1-3 entering its game on Tuesday, June 21, at home against Circleville Post 134. “I love this,” said Burke, who is the athletics director at Westland. “With everything that goes on during the school year, and it’s just busy every day, you would think I would like to take a break, but I walked on the field the first night and I said to the kids, ‘This is it. This feels great. I’m ready to go again. Every time I walk out here I feel it.’” With just six teams in District 12 this summer, play will be limited for Post 532W. It posted its first win of the season on June 15 when it beat host Westerville (South) Post 171S 9-2 in eight innings. The other teams in District 12 are Columbus (Hartley) Post 430, Gahanna Post 797A, Westerville (Central) Post 171C and Worthington Post 239, which is a combination of players from Thomas Worthington, Upper Arlington and Watterson. Against Post 171S, the game was tied at 2 before Post 532W scored seven runs in the top of the eighth.

Ready continues youth movement in offseason By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
ThisWeek file photo
Ready quarterback Bo Hardy tries to keep his balance after being tripped up by Bubba Krieg of Lima Central Catholic during a game last season. Hardy, who passed for 1,043 yards last season, is expected to return this fall.
The youth movement that was forced on the Ready High School football team last season has continued this offseason. Although some of what was a large and talented freshman class won’t be playing the sport as sophomores, the Silver Knights’ strength still rests in their younger classes after they lost only 11 players to graduation. That has put a sense of urgency into offseason workouts for Ready, which is coming off a 4-6 record for its first losing season since 1998. “We’re lifting well and they’re getting stronger,” coach Larry Wolf said. “We’ve got a whole bunch of young kids. A lot of the freshmen we had last year won’t be coming back, but that’s the nature of the beast. We don’t know ex-

actly what the numbers are going to look like, but we should have 40-plus in the upper three grades and another 20 freshmen.” In addition to spending significant time teaching the sport to the program’s younger players,
Wolf and his staff have spent time during the offseason figuring out how to shore up a defense that struggled last season. After the Silver Knights won their first two games, they gave up an average of 37.3 points in their six losses. By season’s end, freshmen Kelly Culbertson (S) and Patrik Garren (DT) were starters. Junior Brandon Gutheil, who played tight end last fall, is a player Wolf hopes can provide leadership on the defensive line. “We have to shore up our defense,” Wolf said. “We were so young on the defensive side that we couldn’t get it done last year. Our defense couldn’t stop people. We had to replace nine starters on defense and then we lost (2011 graduate) Christian (Knapper to a See READY, page A8

Also on the team are Westland senior Austin Schirtzinger, Central Crossing senior Zak Ogilbee and Zach Fleer, a 2011 Central Crossing graduate. “Dave and I talk,” Burke said. “I let him tell me who he wants me to take. Last year was the first year that I said, ‘You tell me who you want me to take and I’ll coach them up.’ Whoever walks in my door, I’m going to coach them.” Last summer, Post 532W finished 7-15 and went 1-2 in the District 12 tournament. It opened the double-elimination tournament with a 5-2 loss to Northwest (Upper Arlington) Post 443. Post 532W then beat Post 144 (St. Charles) by forfeit before being eliminated with a 9-7 loss to Post 171C.
