Oregon Elementary
1st-grade teacher to replace Brobeck By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A closer look
The Johnstown-Monroe Board of Education on June 17named first-grade teacher Marcie Wilson principal of Oregon Elementary School. Also at that meeting, the board named Nicholas McIlwain as the district’s new athletics director and assistant principal. See the story on page A6. Superintendent Damien Bawn said Wilson had been teaching for 19 years and is well known locally. “I’ve had a number of parents calling,

thrilled that she will be the principal,” Bawn said. “I’m definitely looking forward to working with her on the administrative team.” Wilson succeeds Linda Brobeck, who is retiring. Wilson has been coming into the school in June, even though her administration
contract does not start until Aug. 1. Principals work by contract about 30 days longer than teachers, and central office administrators work year round, Bawn said. Among Wilson’s activities has been participation in the district’s Race to the Top committee. “She has a pretty good handle on how things are going on from a management standpoint,” Bawn said. “For her it will probably be a pretty seamless transition. “It’s always an interesting transition for a teacher,” he said. “They know the people in the building, so a lot of the so-
cialization, getting to know each other kind of things don’t have to take place, and maybe you can focus on getting some other things done more quickly.” Bawn said he did not expect the principal’s duties to change from this year to next. “In general terms, (the duties of principal) will be very similar to what they were last year, but of course we’re waiting for the budget bill and a couple of other things working their way through the legislature to see if there are going to be any major changes,” Bawn said. “Since we are involved with Race to
the Top, some of the same issues — teacher evaluation, administrator evaluation — we’ve already been working on. If they change, we’ll have a little bit of a head start on them.” Johnstown Monroe has not received significant direct support for Race to the Top funds, but the district has been involved in order to participate in some of the management tools that are being developed under the program, Bawn said. “We got involved in it more as a way to have access to some of the programs See PRINCIPAL, page A2

Johnstown village officials have received dozens of nuisance control complaints in relation to an ordinance council passed two weeks ago. The ordinance allows the village to charge property owners $200 per hour to mow tall grass and weeds that exceed six inches, as well as yard litter clean-up. Village manager Jim Lenner told council on June 21 that the village received approximately 30 complaints against property owners since the legislation passed June 7. “We’ve addressed those 30 and they’ve been voluntarily mowed,” Lenner said. He said the village has had to mow four lawns in the past two weeks. None of the four properties were bank-owned, he said, but most were in the process of being foreclosed. “The people in their homes are still mowing their properties,” Lenner said. “The four that we had, one was burnt and they (homeowners) left town, so it’s been the vacant properties that we’ve actually gone ahead and mowed.” Lenner said the village is willing to work with compliant residents. “If they’re on vacation, we’ll work with people. We’re not out there just to charge $200 every time we mow,” he said. Part-time zoning inspector Sonny Whalen talks with property owners once a nuisance complaint is issued. See NUISANCE, page A2
Fireman’s Festival promises Board looks to reduce a few days of family fun administrative costs
By JENNA GANT
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Johnstown will turn into an amusement park July 6-9. That’s when the Johnstown Fire Department Association, Inc., will host the Fireman’s Festival for the 36th time. Association president Don Ryan said it’s a community celebration with activities for children. Residents can enjoy carnival rides, games, raffles and entertainment throughout the week. Rod Bemiller, the association’s vice president, said there would be lots of musical entertainment at the festival, including the Big Red Band. The festival gets better each year, he said. “We have better crowds each year,” Bemiller said. “Unfortunately, we do not have any more room to expand as far as bringing in more rides and more organizations because we’re out of room.”
“
We’ve purchased some squad equipment and some fire equipment that they would be unable to get if it wasn’t for the festival.

Local organizations like the Johnstown Lion’s Club, Johnstown Athletic Boosters, American Legion, churches and the Boy Scouts are also participating in the festival, which will be held along Phalen Place and Pratt Street as well as Oregon and South Main streets. The parade on July 9 will start at noon, going down Main Street and ending near the town square. The parade’s grand marshal is Johnstown resident Ruth

Ryan said the festival is “a money making project” for the organization, which uses the proceeds to help pay for maintaining its antiqued 1941 C-Series Ford fire truck and a 1889 hand pump and hose cart. The funds also go toward the association’s building maintenance and yearly charities. Bemiller said the bulk of the money goes to the Monroe Township Fire Department. See FESTIVAL, page A2

The Northridge Local School District Board of Education approved a resolution June 20 directing the superintendent and treasurer to examine ways of reducing administrative staff by one position in the district. “I’d like to look at ways to save additional money for our school district, and one of those is reducing administration,” said board member Jayma Bammerlin. The board approved the measure 4-0. Board member Troy Willeke absent. Bammerlin said she did not want to limit the charge to any particular aspect of administration, but wanted to leave the administration leeway to decide how to achieve the goal. She said it might be possible to outsource some functions or to bring on alternative staff at less cost. “I think creativity would be wonderful, and if we need to bring on a position to support it, I think that would be justifiable, so long as it is a net decrease in cost to the school district,” Bammerlin said The board also examined the district’s insurance plan, with treasurer Jim Hudson giving a report about proposals to offer three dif-

ferent payment options for the district’s health plan. “It’s the exact same coverage (under all three options),” Hudson said. “It’s just the deductible that changes.” For employees who maintain the current traditional plan, Hudson said, premiums are expected to increase by 12 percent. Employees who opt to increase their deductibles to $200 to $600 would cause the district to see premium increases of about 5 percent, and employees who choose a high deductible health savings account would cause the district to see a premium decrease of nearly 20 percent. “We’re giving them the option which health insurance plan they would want to choose,” Hudson said. Employee meetings will be held July 13 and July 20 to explain the options to employees, Hudson said. In other business, athletics director Wayne Howard reviewed pay-to-participate athletics fees. “It’s still nothing more than a feasibility study, because I don’t know how many students will have parents who will write a check for $500 See BOARD, page A2

Licking County commissioner Doug Smith told Etna Township trustees June 18 that he was hearing rumblings of development interest along the state Route 161 corridor from such major retailers as Walmart and Target. Smith said during the morning “coffee with the trustees” meeting that the area included Jersey and St. Albans townships.
and in the case of Walmart, they are at least a year old. “It’s been more infrequent during this recession, but it’s starting to heat up again,” Smith said. “But the Walmart story is not one I would say is even warm at this point.” Commissioner Tim Bubb said most inquiries come into the water and sewer department through third parties “We get a lot of what I call

310 and Interstate 70 is prime for commercial development, too,” Smith said. “There are parcels that could be suited for multiuse and would be attractive. I could see a big-box store, a Kohl’s or something, locating in that area (at state Route 310 and Interstate 70).” Bubb said residential development would have to pick up before any major retailers would begin construction.

JMHS choir council named
FESTIVAL
Johnstown-Monroe High School has named the members of its choir council for the 2011-12 school year. They are: Riley McMahon, president; Austin Piper and Michaela Wolford, vice presidents; Elisa Higgins, secretary; Ryan McLaughlin, treasurer; Lauren Lowe, historian; Lauren Wickstrom, student web designer; Scott Lane and Mary Wright, social chairpersons; and Bailie Dick, robe mistress. Pictured from the left are (front row) Lauren Wickstrom, Riley McMahon, Elisa Higgins, Lauren Lowe; (back row) Mary Wright, Scott Lane, Ryan McLaughlin, Austin Piper and Michaela Wolford. The choir council will meet regularly to provide leadership and direction to the choir program and to the director, Jeff Rings.
Continued from page A1
NUISANCE Continued from page A1 He said he doesn’t come out to measure each property with a ruler. “If it’s obviously high grass I give them a certified letter stating such,” Whalen said, “and I send the zoning code violation with that letter so they know exactly what I’m talking about and it gives them the time they have to correct the violation.” Property owners have five days to mow their yard once they receive the letter. “It would be obviously to their advantage to have it done or get it taken care of on their own,” Whalen said, “because if we do it they will be fined.” He said most residents have been fairly cooperative. In the cases of the four properties the village mowed, Whalen said, “The owners either failed to respond to us after certified letters or they were returned with no response and left for us to handle and that’s what we’ve done.” Depending on the time it takes village officials to mow the property, it could end up a hefty sum. “If the owners aren’t available then we have the opportunity to take them to mayor’s court and/or assess their property taxes with the county auditor,” Whalen said. Whalen said he would address all nuisance complaints because “obviously is a detriment to the village as far as appearance (is
concerned).” Lenner said residents seem grateful the village is taking action. “We’ve got a lot of thank-yous,” he said. “A lot of people appreciate that the yards have been mowed
and they’re not 20 inches tall.” Council on June 21 amended one section on the ordinance to include tall grass and weeds. It had just said “nuisance” and the village wanted to straighten out any confusion.
“We’ve purchased some squad equipment and some fire equipment that they would be unable to get if it wasn’t for the festival,” Bemiller said. Ryan said the association bought the fire department a thermal imaging camera with proceeds from the festival a few years ago. “Those kinds of things can help make life easier for the personnel and for the community,” Ryan said. The festival will run July 6-8 from 6 p.m. to midnight and July 9 from 11 a.m. to midnight.
for high school and $300 for middle school,” Howard said. For families unable to pay the fee, Howard said one option under consideration is to have parents do volunteer time at a recycling facility in lieu of the fee. The program would be supported by a $10,000 contribution from the district athletic boosters. “We have a lot of students who are interested,” Howard said. “The intent is that we will provide students with the opportunity to earn the money for pay to participate, so we are not hitting families as hard.” Howard also raised the possibility that parents could be responsible for transporting students to some games and events. Howard said he would hold meetings for each sport to discuss pay-to-play options. “I can’t judge how many kids are going to participate in the program,” Howard said. Hudson said the district had a balance of $51,000 in its athletic accounts, which provided a cushion in case any cost estimates proved to be off.

Anomatic facility is latest addition to business park east By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers New Albany’s business park east is expanding again with the addition of Anomatic, a Newarkbased company that makes aluminum caps for beauty products. City council on June 21 approved a 100-percent, seven- to 10-year real property-tax abatement for the company. The term of the abatement depends on the type of facility the company builds, said community development director Jennifer Chrysler. The term also requires the company to meet a certain payroll projection and build its facility using some environmentally friendly technology. State incentives for the project are pending. The project includes a 75,000-square-foot production facility that is expected to create 185 jobs with an annual payroll of approximately $4.2 million, according to the legislative report. The project is anticipated to generate $84,000 a year in annual income-tax revenue. Anomatic has production facilities in Newark, Naugatuck, Conn., and China, said Kim Polvino, the company’s human resources manager. The company developed an anodizing system in 1967 and provides customers “with design, manufacturing and finish solutions,” according to the company’s website. Anodizing is “an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish,” according to the website of the Aluminum Anodizers Council. Anomatic is “the No. 1 supplier of anodized components and packages in North America —
and the global leader of distinctive anodizing design solutions,” according to its website. The new production facility in New Albany is an expansion, Polvino said. “At this point, our offices will stay here (in Newark),” she said. According to the legislative report, Anomatic currently works with companies such as Revlon, Estee Lauder, Mary Kay and Bath & Body Works. There currently are six projects scheduled to be built in business park east. The projects total 1.25 million square feet of development, according to the legislative report. The companies are expected to generate an estimated $750,000 in total annual income-tax revenue. “So far, this campus has also produced 1,405 total jobs for New Albany and 1,020 new jobs for Ohio,” the legislative report said. In other business June 21, council amended an agreement with New Albany Hotel Associates LLC to include the new LLC name and correct a percentage in council legislation. The agreement would allow the hotel to receive half of the bed taxes collected — or 3 of the total 6 percent collected — to be used in promoting the hotel, according to Chrysler. Bed taxes can be charged on hotel rooms and are paid to municipalities for use in marketing campaigns and other attempts to attract visitors to an area. The 122-room hotel will be built on Forest Drive, north of Smith’s Mill Road, said Kathryn Meyer, deputy community development director. Meyer said she expects the hotel project to break ground this year. The 110,000-square-foot hotel is being built by Hotel Development Services of Dayton.

Northridge Schools: Trying to make best of a bad situation To the editor: Northridge Local Schools have arrived at an arrangement to try and satisfy the concerns of the voters as well as the education and well roundedness of its students. The well roundedness of a student is 60% classes and 40% socialization, sports, and other extra-curricular activities. When the levy did not pass in May 2011, the school was between a rock and a hard place. There were no longer any funds available to allocate to extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. These activities include everything the children do outside the classroom, such as marching band, vocalize, Vo-Ag, sports, musicals, National Honor Society, Power of the Pen, etc. In addition to these cuts, a number of academic classes were also eliminated, as were 17 job positions. Due to these cuts, many students were seeking alternate schooling through the open enrollment process and through private education. With each child who left Northridge schools, the school would lose additional revenue, since state funding follows the student. With that monetary loss, the school would then most likely have to cut additional classes and teaching positions. Inevitably, more students would then leave and with them additional funding. The downward spiral of the district would continue on this path until the point of no return. With the downfall of the school, property values in this district would also plummet. In an effort to help sustain the district and to prevent this downward spiral, the sport boosters presented a plan to the school board where positive activities and experiences would still remain available to the students. The plan is one of “private funding.” For those students who would
want to participate in a sport or academic club, a pay-to-participate fee would be set. Currently for sports, the pay to participate fee for next year is sat at $500. There will be work opportunities extended to student athletes who can work in a program in order to earn their $500. Unfortunately, notwithstanding this fee, additional funding will still be necessitated. Thus, funding will become paramount. Any future levies that are passed will be totally devoted to academics and teaching and administrative staffing. By agreeing to the private funding concept, it is clear that the district has listened to the voters, as well as to the students. For the students, positive outlets will still be provided for their growth and well-being. For the taxpayer, the district is exerting every effort to run the school as efficiently as possible and at the lowest possible cost to the taxpayer. Unfortunately, however, levies remain a reality as long as the state government refuses to rectify the
way schools are funded. The method for funding schools in the state of Ohio was declared unconstitutional in 1997. We have been waiting approximately 15 years for the state to remedy this travesty. The education and well-being of our children should be of utmost concern for all those in our district. These are the very children who will grow into adulthood and have voting rights on issues which are close to our hearts. Have we shown these children the importance of community and the importance of caring for one another? Or have we instead raised these children who will selfishly only care about their own interests. “Education is more than a luxury; it is a responsibility that society oust itself.” Robin Cook “It is greater work to educate a child, in the true and larger sense of the word, than to rule a state.” William Ellery Channing Kathy Miller Trimble Johnstown

Cap City Senior Bowl
East all-stars hold on to defeat West By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
To watch Grove City High School graduate Luke Smurthwaite scramble and make a play seemingly out of nothing, it looked like more was on the line than the outcome of an allstar football game. One of central Ohio’s top quarterbacks, Smurthwaite made sure his team didn’t lose without putting up a fight in the Cap City Senior Bowl on June 18 at Westerville Central.
The Kent State recruit completed three of five passes for 36 yards during the West all-stars’ final drive, which ended at midfield with a fumble as time expired. A strong defensive effort led by Independence lineman Tim Dysart (Morehead State) helped the East all-stars win 14-7. “It was really great to just be playing football again and getting the rust out of my system before I head off to college,” said Smurthwaite, who was named the West’s Offensive Player of the Game. “I’ve grown up scrambling
around like that and I guess that’s why I’ve gotten good at it.” Smurthwaite, who passed for more than 2,300 yards last fall and played in the Ohio North-South All-Star Classic in April, didn’t have big numbers, but his abilities gave the West a chance to come back. It was no surprise to West coach Derek Katris, who coached Smurthwaite on junior varsity at Grove City. “Luke’s going to give you everything he’s got,” said Katris, who is now the head coach at Briggs. “He’s
going to play with all the heart he has. We had a lot of penalties and missed assignments, but what are you going to do when you only have (the players) for a week?” Marion-Franklin’s Jeremy McCoy, who also will play at Kent State, slipped past defenders and caught a 70-yard touchdown pass from Beechcroft quarterback Sheldon Akin (Mesabi Range Community & Technical College) with 1 minute, 36 seconds left in the first half to give the East a 14-0 lead.
The East also scored on its opening drive. Westerville South’s Jayshon Jackson (Grand Rapids Community College), the district’s Division I Offensive Player of the Year, capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run. “We really executed our offense in the first half, but I think we got a little bit too conservative in the second half,” said East coach Jeff Pharion, who is the head coach at St. Charles. “We kept it simple with schemes and See FOOTBALL, page A7
Commentary
Athletes learn to develop routine The high school athletes participating in my summer series also stand out in the classroom. In the second week of the series, the student-athletes talk about how they balance practices and games with studying to keep their grades at a high level. M a r y LARRY Wells, WestLARSON erville Central, bowling: “School always comes first and keeping your grades up is way more important than any sporting event.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “To balance practice and games with studying, you have to be dedicated to both things. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices in order to accomplish excellence in both.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “I make sure to study and do homework directly after coming home from practice. This way I am not as tired as I would be later and I will be motivated to do work.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Seeing that practice only lasts a few hours of my afternoon, I always dedicate the rest of my time to the work that needs to be done for class. If I am well organized and can stick to a schedule that works best for me, it helps ensure that my academic and athletic priorities are also balanced.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I make sure that I finish all my work before I go on with my day. I will normally have practice directly after school and I try to get my work done first thing after practice.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I know that schoolwork must come first and I need to attend to my studies first and attack that before I get out on the golf course or range. I either immediately practice first and then study or the other way around. I dedicate myself to academics and athletics and dedication is the key word.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Sometimes before practice I can get some schoolwork done. If I don’t have time before school is out, I need to focus on practice and then get the rest of my work done.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Although golf takes up a lot of my time, academics have always been a priority to me. My time at school is committed to getting my work done.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “In order to keep up my academics with games and practices, I sacrifice the other

Nick McIlwain replaces Mike Carter as athletics director at Johnstown-Monroe. McIlwain, a 1999 graduate of Reynoldsburg, taught history at Licking Heights.
Johnstown Athletics
McIlwain named athletics director By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
In his second year teaching in the Licking Heights Local School District, Nick McIlwain had a revelation. He was approached by longtime athletics director Don Henne about being his assistant during Henne’s final year with the district. McIlwain served as the assistant athletics director for the high school and the middle school athletics director
in the 2007-08 school year. He had found his calling. On June 17, the 1999 graduate of Reynoldsburg High School was named athletics director at Johnstown-Monroe High School. “I really enjoyed (administration) because it was a way to work with the district on a much greater scale,” said McIlwain, who also will serve as assistant principal at Johnstown. “I told one of the (Licking Heights) board members how much
fun I was having and he told me that I should go back and get my master’s (degree) so I could become an AD.” McIlwain, who received his master’s in educational leadership from the University of Cincinnati last December, has taught history at Cincinnati Finneytown (2003-06) as well as Licking Heights (2006-11). He also was the Hornets varsity golf coach last season and an assistant girls basketball coach in 2006-07 and 2009-10.
“Mr. McIlwain led a strong field of candidates through the application and interview process — in large part based on a well-rounded set of experiences in education and athletics,” Johnstown superintendent Damien Bawn said. “His dedication to being an essential member of a learning organization — along with an obvious understanding of the value and challenge inherent in maintaining a solid See JOHNNIES, page A7
Club Soccer
Area teams competing in Midwest Regional By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A central Ohio club soccer team has won a Midwest Regional Cup title each of the past two summers after local squads failed to do so the previous six years. The Blast F.C. Under-15 boys team won a Regional Cup in 2009, and the Crew Juniors U19 boys squad won regional and national championships last year. Heading into the 2011 Regional Cup tournament, which started June 25 and runs through Wednesday, June 29, in Fox Cities, Wis., Crew Juniors U19 boys coach Brian Bliss said he wouldn’t be surprised if a central Ohio squad won a regional championship for the See LARSON, page A7 third consecutive season.
Online For more photos and team previews for all area squads in the Midwest Regional Cup, visit ThisWeekSPORTS.com
However, Bliss said it will be difficult for the five local boys teams and four local girls squads to win their age brackets regardless of their talent level. “Sometimes it’s more difficult to win the Regional Cup than the national tournament because you have to play five games in five days in the regional tournament and there’s very little room for error,” Bliss said. “A lot of people have forgotten, but we were three minutes away from being eliminated from pool play in the re-
gional tournament last year before we rallied (for a 3-1 win over Everest Soccer Club) to reach the semifinals. A lot of teams have the talent and potential to win this tournament, but you need to make plays at the right time to get it done.” More than 270 preliminary games will be played as boys and girls U.S. Youth Soccer State Cup champions, select wildcards and Midwest Regional League qualifiers in the U-13 through U-19 age groups compete. All of the age groups have been divided into threeor four-team brackets, and every team will play a game within its bracket June 25, 26 and 27. The bracket winners will move on to semifinals June 28, with regional finals played June

Big 33 Football Classic
Davidson’s Heitzman helps lead Ohio to win By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Ohio’s domination in the Big 33 Football Classic in Hershey, Pa., on June 18 had a local flavor. Ohio rolled to a 50-14 win over the Pennsylvania all-stars, amassing 432 yards in total offense. The 54th game of the series featured five players from central Ohio. Led by defensive end Keith Heitzman of Hilliard Davidson, the Ohio defense allowed 243 yards, including minus-8 yards rushing. Heitzman, who also played fullback and on special teams, capped the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown run with 3 minutes, 47 seconds remaining. “It was a ton of fun,” Heitzman said. “Our defense came out strong and was able to get pressure on them right away. We forced them to make some mistakes.”
Heitzman helped set the tone early as his pressure on Pennsylvania quarterback Matt Johnson led to Gabe Gilbert’s interception on the game’s first possession. Heitzman sacked Johnson in the second quarter, leading to a Pennsylvania punt from its end zone. “Playing against the best I’m hoping will prepare me a little bit more for what’s to come at (the University of) Michigan,” Heitzman said. Heitzman was joined by Davidson teammate J.D. Detmer, who handled the kicking and punting duties. Detmer, who will play at the University of Toledo, converted six extra points and punted once for 38 yards. He missed on field-goal attempts of 46 and 28 yards in the first quarter. Hartley’s Noah Key, who rushed for 2,885 yards and 42 touchdowns on 338 carries last fall to share the Division IV state Offensive Player of the Year
award with Kenton quarterback Maty Mauk, played in the secondary for Ohio. “This was a real honor,” said Key, who will join Detmer at Toledo. “You get to see all the guys you see in the paper every week with your name. You get a chance to meet these guys, and I will be playing against a lot of these guys in college. There (were) actually seven of us on the team from Toledo, so we’re building that early bond.” Key led Hartley to the Division IV state title last season with a 34-13 win over Chagrin Falls in the championship game. Hawks coach Brad Burchfield said playing in the Big 33 game was a tremendous opportunity for Key and the Hartley program. “I know obviously the history of the Big 33 and how prestigious it is to have players selected to play in that game,” Burchfield said. It was sort of a homecoming for Wor-
thington Kilbourne’s Matt Skura, who grew up in Fox Chapel, Pa., and began attending Kilbourne as a sophomore. “Playing against the best competition in Pennsylvania and even the best competition in the nation, it was a great way for me to end my high school career and start my college one as well,” Skura said. Skura, who will play at Duke University, saw time at center, guard and tackle in the Big 33 game. “He’s been a tremendous leader, setting the example for the kids on the way things should be done,” Kilbourne coach Vince Trombetti said. “He’s never taken a day off. He’s done a great job representing our program.” Westerville Central graduate Nick Vannett, who will play at Ohio State, saw time at tight end and wide receiver in the Big 33 game. “I’m proud of Nick, not only because of his accomplishments on the
FOOTBALL Continued from page A6 blitzes defensively, and we executed very well.” The West only crossed midfield twice in the first half. Whetstone running back Jordan Mitchell (Urbana) made it 14-7 when he reversed field and scored on an 18-yard run with 11:35 left in the fourth quarter. The Cap City game began as
aspects of my life, including my social side. There are some very late nights and very early mornings as a result of my busy schedule. I make difficult sac-
the City League All-Star game in 2008, but Anthony Murphy, one of the organizers in conjunction with Capcitypreps.com, wanted to get players throughout central Ohio involved. Players from the City, Central Catholic and Mid-State leagues and the OCC were added, with Interstate 71 as a dividing line. The name of the game was changed last summer, when the
East beat the West 22-0. “Last year we had kids from Olentangy Orange becoming friends with kids who live on (Columbus’) west side in the ‘Bottoms’ and picking them up for practice,” Murphy said. “The guys really build relationships out of this and it goes deeper than football.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
rifices, but I certainly enjoy the end result of my choices.” Next week, the student-athletes will follow up this topic by talking about the importance of having a good academic record.
I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.
SOCCER Continued from page A6 29. Regional champions in the U-14 through U-19 age groups will advance to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix. Ohio Premier Eagles club director Chris King said teams need to do more than play well to win a Regional Cup. They also need some luck. “You have to play well and find a way to win against great competition, but a lot of this comes down to luck,” said King, who helped guide the Ohio Premier U-13 girls team to a regional championship in 2002. “In the closer games, you may need to have a few bounces or a referee’s call go your way. “The luck of the draw is another big factor because teams aren’t seeded at regional and there have been a lot of years where the top two or three teams in the regional end up in the same bracket of pool play, and some of the better teams get eliminated early on.” Local teams that won State Cup championships to advance to the Regional Cup are: the Classics Eagles U-13 boys, Team Ohio F.C.

Financial finesse
Don’t let thieves spoil your vacation First, it’s great that you are aware of the risks and are seeking ways to protect yourself before you become a victim. It’s much easier to take precautions now than have to restore your identity and reputation later. Being away from home and in unfamiliar places could bring increased risk to consumers, opening doors to thieves. More purchases than usual are made this time of the year, as well, so additional withdrawals might go unnoticed until you get back to home base. Your identity could be stolen in a number of ways, including loss or theft of your wallet, purse or credit card; stealing your mail or taking documents from your trash; skimming information from the magnetic strip on credit or debit cards; giving personal or financial information over the phone to strangers; or hacking into your computer.

Being extra aware of your surroundings and always being organized also make you more focused and alert so you can spot potential problems. Keep receipts for all purchases and check the receipt against your credit card or other account statements to be sure it is accurate. Signs that indicate your identity has been stolen include unauthorized charges on your creditcard statement or on your checking account; unauthorized transfers or withdrawals on your bank statements; accounts on your credit report that you did not

If you become a victim of identity theft, contact the financial institutions or companies where the information has been used to alert them of the situation.

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Granville will sponsor a group of “community songsters” who will visit and sing in England Aug. 515, 2012. Scott Hayes, St. Luke’s organist and choirmaster, will provide details about the trip at 5 p.m. today at the church, 107 E. Broadway. The Royal School of Church Music provides the framework for
the Choristers Program, which offers traveling groups the opportunity to sing in historic Oxford Cathedral. Hayes will discuss the program and the church-sponsored trip, “Odyssey to Oxford.” St. Luke’s singers will offer a demonstration and tea and homemade scones will be served “in anticipation of similar goodies that will be sampled in England,” according to a news release from St. Luke’s.
