That was not necessarily true for us, because even though we were a village, we were a charter community, but that was a nuance that a lot of people did not necessarily understand.” Osborn and Strayer said the city has enjoyed respectable development even during down economic times.

City, schools partner to build tennis courts

right. I’m just worried that someone else would want to do this around a different (era) building, using this as a precedent, and I wouldn’t agree with that.” According to commissioner Patrick Lynch, the building was originally occupied by the Midland (South Central) Power Co., which had signs along the roofline of the building and aluminum accents along the soffit of the building and windows and doorframes. “This commission’s duty is to determine what’s appropriate,” Lynch said. “I don’t think we’re setting a
Canal Winchester plans to have at least two new public tennis courts built by the end of the year, ending years of difficulties for the high school in fielding a tennis team. The Canal Winchester Local School District and the city are partnering on the project. The city plans to spend a maximum of $80,000 on construction of the courts, which will be built just north of the high school on Washington Street on land donated by the school board. Over the past decade, the city and schools have discussed the community’s desire for tennis courts that would be available for both high school athletics and community use, according to Mayor Michael Ebert and school board President Debra Waites. In recent years, when enough students were able to form a high school tennis team, the district had to borrow Groveport Madison High School’s tennis courts for practice and matches. “The desire for tennis courts was one of the issues brought up in the community survey,” Ebert said. “This has been a back-and-forth discussion for years now and with the recent financial issues, it would be difficult, or impossible, for the schools to afford building these alone. “Likewise, (the city) just didn’t have a good location or the money to buy a good location, so this was a win-win partnership for us both,” he said. Waites agreed, saying that the school district is very excited for the project to get started. “Tennis courts have been discussed for over 10 years here, so with the school able to donate the land and the city able to pay for all of the construction and maintenance — well, it’s a win-win situation for us,” Waites said. “The students will have use of the courts during the school day and for tennis team practices and matches, while the public will be able to use them the rest of the time.” The tennis courts will be built on the old school bus corral, just north of the high school on Washington Street. According to Ebert, the space should be economically advantageous due to the current site grading and foundation, which he said should

Commission approves renovation plans By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Canal Winchester Landmarks Commission spent much of its time June 27 discussing the kinds of building materials that can be used in renovation and maintenance projects in the city’s preservation and historic districts. Members approved a request from John Stedman, who plans to move Village Wines and Bistro from its current location on West Waterloo Street to 10 S. High St. downtown. He requested approval of an outdoor patio area in the front of the building, patio fenc-
ing, plantings to screen patrons from street noise and two new exterior doors — one for patio access and another as an emergency egress for the dining room. “Our goal was to stick with stainless steel wire fencing, to stick with the style of the building,” Stedman said. Commissioner Will Bennett quoted a passage from the district guidelines that says all front yard fences must be either wood picket or wrought iron. Planning commission member Bruce Jarvis said the mid-century building on South High Street isn’t considered historically significant, al-
though it is intact as it was originally designed. “It’s fairly intact and was built as a modern, mid-century style building, but it never fit the character of the village,” Jarvis said. “I don’t feel there is anything architecturally significant that these plans would destroy or lose for future generations. “The Preservation Area guidelines require maintaining styles, but this is an exception from the beginning because of the era it was built, so doing something industrial around it is only fitting, due to the context of this property,” he said. “If you put a Victorianera fence around it, that wouldn’t look
State Route 256
Innovative traffic control system earns engineering award By NATE ELLIS ThisWeek Community Newspapers A traffic light system designed to ease traffic congestion on state Route 256 has earned Pickerington a 2011 Engineering Excellence Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Ohio (ACEC). The statewide, nonprofit engineering association recognized the city for installing a $338,000 Adaptive Control System (ACS), which uses monitors at eight intersections on Route 256 — from Stonecreek Drive north to Diley Road — to measure traffic volume and de-
termine when traffic signals should change. A closer look The project was completed in early 2009. A traffic light system designed to In April, it earned Pickerington city ease traffic congestion on state engineer Greg Bachman an invitation Route 256 has earned Pickeringto a Federal Highway Administration ton a 2011 Engineering Excel(FHWA) conference in Anaheim, Calif., lence Award from the American that focused on improving traffic flow Council of Engineering Companies in hotspots throughout the country. of Ohio (ACEC).

Route 256 between state Route 204 and Refugee Road from 2003 to 2007. At that time, Bachman said the majority of the crashes were due to congestion on the city’s most heavily traveled thoroughfare. For years, the Route 256 corridor in Pickerington has been on the Ohio Department of Transportation’s “Hot Spot” list of the 100 worst corridors in the state for traffic accidents. City officials acknowledge problems still persist within the state Route 256 corridor, but say the ACS system has helped traffic, and in granting the award, the ACEC concurred.

Many of the remaining traffic congestion problems, Bachman said, are tied to the fact that the Ohio Department of Transportation-controlled intersections at Route 256 and Interstate 70, as well as at Route 256 and Route 204Tussing Road aren’t currently connected to Pickerington’s ACS system. City officials hope that will soon change; ODOT is investigating its intersections and comparing them to those on the city’s ACS system. “ODOT is performing their study,” Bachman said. “ODOT will decide (if it will connect to the system) based on the results of their study.”

14 apply to be city’s new development director Continued from page A1 “Canal Winchester has had a lot of development over the last four years — not a lot, but some,” Osborn said. “Many communities have not been so fortunate. That helps demonstrate the community is viable.” She said some current development officials in other communities had expressed interest, but were reluctant to apply because candidates’ names become public record. “I’ve had two people call me and tell me they might be interested in the job, but they don’t want their current employer to know they are looking,” Osborn said. “So they don’t want to send a resume if they don’t have a chance of getting the job. I’m sorry, but that’s not something I can help with.” The applicants are: • Skip Allman, Mansfield, until May 11 was executive director of the United Way for Richland County. He studied journalism at the University of Oklahoma. • Benjamin Amick, Gahanna, until May was a funding specialist for Bird Houk consultants. He earned a master’s degree in public administration from the Uni-

TENNIS COURTS Continued from page A1 require less earth-moving in the construction process than another location might have required. “We put $80,000 in the 2011 budget to construct at least two tennis courts before we knew we had a site,” Ebert said. “Due to the location the school donated, if we have minimal groundwork, we may be able to afford three courts.” The city expects to publish a request for proposals in the next month to choose a contractor to construct the courts, Ebert said.
.
A maintenance agreement and shared scheduling have not been finalized with the district. Waites said there will be no school money spent on the courts. “We’ve got an operational levy on the ballot for a November
vote,” she said. “There’s no money for a project like this, so we’re lucky to have (the city).” Ebert said construction is expected to start in September and be completed before the end of the year.

There’s a lot of aluminum across the building itself.” Discussion about signage also centered on maintaining the historic look of the building. Bennett asked how the bistro’s signs would be applied to the building. “Nothing has been decided yet, but looking at the original blueprints for the building, we saw the sign was individual letters on the roof, so we talked about emulating that,” Stedman said. City planning and zoning administrator Andrew Dutton pointed out that a zoning variance would be required due to restrictions on load-bearing structures such as roofs and possible issues with signage size requirements. Jarvis said he thought preserving the look of the original signage would be worthwhile. “We’re prepared to request a variance,” Stedman said. “We’ll have to do it soon, in the next cou-

However, even without the applicant on hand, commission members had a lengthy discussion about whether concrete fiber-

board could be used to replace wood in the Historic District without an application submission to the Landmarks Commission. According to Lynch, maintenance of original materials is acceptable per the preservation guidelines, and there is precedent for accepting concrete fiberboard as an acceptable replacement for wood. “If it were wood for wood, then (Don Hartman Tires) wouldn’t need an application,” Dutton said. “Since the guidelines don’t actually say, (concrete fiberboard) is an acceptable replacement.” Dutton said the city continues to work to revise its zoning documents, including codifying portions of the preservation guidelines. These design standards will become non-negotiable while the remaining guidelines will still have some flexibility, he said.

Bringing exceptional orthopaedic care to Canal Winchester.
As it were
July 4, 1911, was deadly hot, but ‘safe and sane’ It was a very hot day. July 4, 1911, in Columbus was the hottest Fourth of July since records had begun to be regularly kept in 1878. In fact, it only missed being the hottest day on record by three-tenths of one degree. The temperature peaked in ED the afternoon LENTZ at 103.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and some said it was even hotter in some of the more densely populated parts of the city. In a time when air conditioning in its modern form did not exist and when electric fans were a luxury only the affluent could afford, heat like this could be — and often was — deadly. William Theis, a 34-year-old barber, walked into a cafe owned by one A. J. Flowers on Russell Street in the Short North. He asked for a glass of water and drank it down. He then dropped dead of heart failure. Mary Gallagher, 74, of Starr Avenue, distraught over a recent death in the family, died of heat prostration on the morning of the holiday. And on the afternoon of the Fourth, Edward Daggett, 16, went for a swim in the Scioto River near the downtown bridges with two friends to escape the heat. The river in those days was rather polluted as it passed through the city, but the young man was used to that. What killed him was the cramp that seized him when he hit the cooler water away from the sweltering shore. His drowned body was found the next day. But with only three deaths, Columbus was more fortunate than some other American cities caught in the same lengthy heat wave. Twenty-seven people died from the heat in Chicago that July 4 and 25 people died in New York. In the major cities of America, more than 134 people died of heat-related causes on Independence Day. So what exactly did people do on a holiday as warm as this one? Actually, they did quite a bit. With virtually every major business, factory, school and government office closed for the day, many people tried to get out of town and celebrate the Fourth where it might be a bit cooler. More than 500 people took the train to Buckeye Lake, where the resort town welcomed them for an old-fashioned celebration of fireworks and fun. Others took the train to Glen Mary on the North Side where Camp Mary Orton is located today, and some traveled from Columbus to Greenwood Lake in Delaware for a quiet day in the country. But most people spent the day close to home. In Columbus in recent years, we have come to expect large public celebrations like Red White and Boom!, with its small, intimate crowd of 500,000, as well as neighborhood fireworks shows on the Fourth of July. But such was not the case a century ago. If anything, Columbus was deeply distrustful of fireworks in 1911. For most of the previous generation, fireworks

and ordnance of all sorts had been readily available to anybody with the money to buy them. In the years after the Civil War, it was not uncommon for a local militia company to fire a salute of rifle and cannon fire on the Fourth — with live ammunition. Workers at local factories often set off a quarter keg of black powder, making sure to duck to avoid flying pieces of wood. And children of all ages had all sorts of fun setting off all sorts of fireworks — and blowing off all sorts of fingers, toes and facial features in the process. By the turn of the century, many people had come to believe that enough was enough. Spearheaded by the formidable lobbying power of the Daughters of the American Revolution, many cities began to try to celebrate what had come to be called a “Safe and Sane” Fourth of July. A safe and sane Fourth was one in which the only fireworks were set off by professionals and one in which the police quickly stopped the activities of amateur celebrants. 1910 was the first year for a “Safe and Sane” Fourth in the city, and all in all, it went pretty well; 1911 was even better. In retrospect, some people argued that the young people of Columbus were finally coming to their senses and had learned not blow themselves up. Others simply concluded that it was so incredibly hot that no one had any energy to be mischievous. The real reason was probably somewhere in between. While the safety record of the city with fireworks for July 4 was admirable, a large number of people were out and about, even in the awful heat. Olentangy Park, the largest amusement park in
the city, was located along the Olentangy River, north of the Ohio State University campus. On the Fourth of July, admission was free. For most of the day, the place was packed. And at night, many people stayed for fireworks. Other people spent the day at the Glen Echo Ravine, where the Glen Echo Improvement Association hosted a day of activities and fireworks at night. Others went to a neighborhood celebration hosted by the residents of Ninth Avenue, west of Neil Avenue in the OSU area. But for people living in and near the downtown, the place to be was Statehouse Square. At 2:30 in the afternoon and again 8:30 in the evening, the Battalion Band from Columbus Barracks (later known as Fort Hayes) entertained the public with a concert on the Square. Many people, as they still do today, simply celebrated Independence Day at home. To make the day a little more special, especially with the heat, dinner was often served on the great porches of the houses of those days or on the lawns nearby. And after an evening repast, what some would remember more than the fireworks — or the lack thereof — was the large dish of peach ice cream that was served for dessert. Produced in bulk by the Busy Bee restaurant and café in downtown Columbus, the seasonal treat was a “blending of fine ripe Georgia peaches with rich Jersey cream. A quart delivered to your home for the Fourth of July, 50 cents.” It was a pleasant end to warm and memorable day. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Peripheral Neuropathy? If You Suffer From A Single One of These Torturous Symptoms: Numbness, Tingling, Burning or Sharp Nerve Pain You Must DISCOVER The Neuropathy Recovery Program! Neuropathy affects every part of your life walking, sitting, sleeping, socializing, your ability to enjoy relationships and so much more If you have tried “everything” like (Anodyne therapy, physical therapy, Lyrica®, Neurotin® or other medications) and you are not getting the lasting results you want, then this may be the most important information you have ever read! There is a simple reason that most treatments fail...because, at best, they only cover up your symptoms and do not heal your damaged nerves.
Do you have any of the following symptoms ... no sleep due to... • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the Legs and Toes • Sharp shooting or burning pains • A feeling like a sock is rolled up under your toes? If so you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.
We all know there is a tremendous difference between covering up your symptoms or actually fixing the underlying problem. So, why settle for “band-aid care” when the Neuropathy Recovery Program is available? What if you could tap into your body’s natural healing abilities by using scientific principles to restore nerve function? I asked myself that very same question: What do nerves need to stay healthy? What causes nerves damage? How can I naturally “tip-the-balance” toward repairing and restoring sick nerves while also removing what was damaging the nerves? Are you tired of pleading with doctor after doctor for more help only to get the ‘pat answer’...” “Let’s try another pill.” You don’t have to be frustrated anymore or spend tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours away from your family ... hopelessly looking for hidden answers. I already did all the leg work for you and created the Neuropathy Recovery Program. The success lies in a powerful combination of Functional Neurology (aka Brain-Based Therapy) and Functional Medicine. The Neuropathy Recovery Program packs a powerful punch against nerve damage... naturally healing the nerves from the inside out. I’m not talking about some simple explanation of you having Diabetes and “Sorry, Mrs. Jones, this is just what happens to people. We’ll try help you cope with the problem.” That is just not good enough. I’m talking about doing advanced lab work and functionally examine the nervous system so you can control your future. We must discover all the underlying mechanisms that are damaging your nervous system and correct them.
Correct diagnosis + correct treatment = Incredible Results The good news is that the principles behind my Neuropathy Recovery Program work with both diabetic and non-diabetic types of neuropathy. How does it work? By stimulating the nerves and supporting their need for fuel and activation. With advanced metabolic testing you will finally discover how to take control of your neuropathy problem. My patients know the insider secrets to recovery. They have already received their individualized Neuropathy Recovery Program and are having amazing results! Let me say this, I am not promising that I can cure everyone, no doctor can. I don’t even know if you qualify for the Neuropathy Recovery Program, that is yet to be determined, and requires proper history and examination. I am so confident I am offering a special introductory visit for just $60 if you call before July 7, 2011. (normal fee $450). The initial visit includes everything: • A thorough case history where I listen...really listen to your concerns, goals, and hope for a better future. • A thorough review of your history and any previous medical test you forward. • Complete Functional Neurology Exam • A Toronto Qualification Screening - this painless test scores how bad your neuropathy is and the type you have (large or small nerve fiber disease). • My analysis and expertise in evaluating and helping neuropathy patients from a functional perspective. Here’s What You Need To Do Now... Call today 614-367-9355 and we will get you scheduled for your consultation, exam and x-rays if needed as soon as there’s an opening, (usually 1-2 weeks) Hurry! The offer is only good until July 7, 2011. We are conveniently located in Reynoldsburg at 7333 E. Livingston Ave. When you call, tell Rasamy you’d like to come in for the Neuropathy Recovery Evaluation so she can get you on the schedule and make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.

Wrestling
Weight classes adjusted for next season By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers Some area high school wrestling coaches aren’t pleased with the new guidelines for weight classes but realize their teams will need to adapt. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) approved the changes during its meeting April 46 in Indianapolis. Tim Stried, director of information services for the Ohio High School Athletic Association, said the changes will
be in effect for the coming season. It is the first significant change in weight classes in 23 years. The lowest weight class, 103 pounds, is being increased to 106, which resulted in new weights in 10 of the 14 classes. The new weight classes are 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285. Only 145, 152, 160 and 285 remain unchanged. The previous weight classes were 103, 112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215 and 285.
“The NFHS has been studying the weight classes in wrestling for several years to determine which weight classes are most appropriate for today’s student-athletes across the country that will result in fewer classes going unfilled,” Stried said. “These new weight classes are the result of countless hours of data analysis by the NFHS, and Ohio will certainly comply with the new weight classes. Like anything, it will take some time for our member schools to be comfortable with the changes, but we can all appreciate that the NFHS is
trying to do the right thing for kids.” Westerville North coach David Grant is concerned that the increase in the lowest weight to 106 will adversely affect lighter competitors. Grant said his 103-pounder last season, Santino DiSabato, weighed between 85 and 90 pounds, but now is moving closer to 106 in preparation for next season. “I don’t like the weight class changes because it hurts the kids that are little,” Grant said. “I have Santino DiSabato, who had a hard time making 103. Now
they take it to 106, so it hurts the younger kids, the freshmen. You’re going to have a lot of kids not able to be competitive at that weight. They’re too young, too little.” Hilliard Davidson coach Dominic DiSabato, Santino’s uncle, is not in favor of the shift in weight classes. “For our program, I’m not a big fan of it,” he said. “We’ll try to get every weight class filled and then wrestle. It will hurt us in duals. Hopefully, we See WRESTLING, page B2
Commentary
Athletes strive to excel in school Last week, the student-athletes writing in my summer series discussed the importance of balancing their time to prepare for and excel in both the classroom and in competition. This week, the seniorsto-be are focusing on the importance of having a good LARRY academic LARSON record. Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “In school, if you study and work hard, good grades will come; you can always count on that. In sports, even if you practice hard and play hard, you cannot always play well or perform well just because of the substantial amount of luck it involves. Studying has always got your back, sports do not.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Academic success really helps in the long run, especially with colleges who love it when you can make an impact both on and off the field.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “My goal was always to play Division I golf at a school with strong academics. Coaches definitely look at your grade-point average and standardized test scores, so be prepared.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “Grades are very important because they only help you look better as an athlete and as a successful person.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I always have felt as though someone with a good academic record shows a great amount of potential for strong leadership. In this world, you are either leading your own life or waiting for someone to do it for you. You don’t want that.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “A strong academic record is important because it allows you to keep your options open for college and beyond. It is also important to remember that sports are just a segment of life and so I strive to be a well-rounded person.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “Colleges look at your whole schooling career, not just one year. You have much better chances being a great student than being a great athlete.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “Great academics can open up many doors if you are seeking to play sports at the college level. Even if playing at the next level isn’t your dream, good grades and good test scores are essential for applying to colleges.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “With a good academic record comes

Two teams win pools, advance to semis By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Patrick Ferron/ThisWeek
Alexis Milesky of the Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 team controls the ball against Kansas City Fusion during a See LARSON, page B3 game of the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup. OP won 7-0.
Only two of the nine central Ohio boys and girls soccer teams competing in the Midwest Regional Cup, held June 25-29 in Fox Cities, Wis., won their four-team pool to advance to a semifinal. Four of seven local squads reached a semifinal in 2009 and three of eight area teams made it to a semifinal last year. However, Crew Juniors Under-19 coach Brian Bliss said the decrease in central Ohio pool-play winners probably was because of bad luck and not a lack of talent or effort. Bliss led the Crew Juniors U-19 boys squad to regional and national titles last year. This year’s Crew Juniors U-19 boys team, which didn’t retain any of last year’s players, went 1-0-2 to finish second in its pool. “There’s some luck involved in being able to win this tournament, and in our case, it ended up being the bad luck of getting a tough draw,” Bliss said. “This team has as much or more talent than we had last year, but we drew into a tougher group where every game was tough. If we would have drawn into a different group we may have gone on to win this again, but we had to spend a ton of energy in the three games we
played here and we didn’t even make it out of our pool. The (blind draw for pool play) is one of the biggest reasons you rarely see a club win this tournament two or three years in a row.” The one local club that did fare well this year was the Ohio Premier Eagles, which advanced two of its four representatives to semifinals. The Ohio Premier Eagles’ four girls teams combined to go 10-2 in pool play. Its U-13 squad went 3-0 to win its pool and its U-16 team advanced on a tiebreaker by beating Eclipse Select of Illinois 1-0 on penalty kicks. In semifinals played June 28, the U-13 team played Eclipse Select and the U-16 team played KCFC Force from Kansas. The finals were June 29. Regional champions in the U-14 through U-19 age groups advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix. The Ohio Premier Eagles’ U-18 and U-19 teams each went 2-1 to finish second in their pools. Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 coach Kevin Dougherty was surprised to see his squad outscore its three pool play opponents 12-1. “It’s pretty unusual to win three
games here the way we did because all the teams competing here are very good,” Dougherty said. “The way our U-16 team made it is more typical of this kind of tournament because there isn’t much separating most teams from a win or loss here.” All five local boys teams fell short of qualifying for the semifinals. The Crew Juniors U-19 and Team Ohio F.C. Blast U-18 (1-1-1 in pool play) each finished second in their pools, and the Classics Eagles U-13 (1-11), Team Ohio F.C. Green U-17 (01-2) and Team Ohio F.C. Juventus U-16 (1-2) each placed third. Classics Eagles U-13 boys coach Mike Lentz said most teams were just a couple favorable bounces or calls away from winning an extra game or two to advance. “There’s a lot of parity at this level,” Lentz said. “Looking at our bracket, three of the four teams could have come out on top on any given weekend. We had an untimely call go against us in our first game and it ended up completely changing our destiny for the tournament. If we would have caught a lucky break or two who knows how far we could have made it.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

WRESTLING Continued from page B1 have a couple bigger kids coming out for the team next year and it won’t hurt us as bad as it could have in the past. We just have to have our wrestlers wrestle the best they can. The other schools are in the same position we are.” Marysville coach Shawn Andrews said his program will adapt to the new guidelines, and he believes the changes actually might help his team next season. Andrews said he expects the lower weights to be a strength of his program. “Looking at it selfishly for a year or two, it helps Marysville specifically because it’s where we have more guys than less guys, but in the broad scope of wrestling, it seems a little odd that they took away a weight class from some of the weight class-
es that are most competitive and then added some at the top,” Andrews said. “It helps some kids from football or some kids who are concerned about losing too much weight between 171 and 189.” According to the NFHS, the last major change in weight classes occurred in 1988, when the lowest class was increased from 98 to 103. The only other changes since then were in 2002, when the number of classes went from 13 to 14 and the 215-pound weight class became mandatory, and in 2006, when the 275pound class was increased to 285. The NFHS also adopted a rule change involving the figure four hold around the head, which now is illegal. Previously, the figure four was illegal around the body or both legs. “I like the new rule, it will work out,” Grant said. “The fig-
ure four is unfair. It’s a pretty big advantage to have that locked up like that. I don’t like the figure four. ... Two legs against the neck is usually not a good idea.” In another change, the boundary line now is considered inbounds. Previously, a wrestler was out of bounds if he or she was touching any part of the line, which is two inches wide. “I like expanding the mat a little bit and having the line inbounds instead of out of bounds,” coach DiSabato said. “I’m just curious how it’s going to be called because of the size of the gyms. The mats are closer together, but you award the aggressor as much as you can and that tends to help out if the line is inbounds rather than out of bounds.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
FOOTBALL Continued from page B1 ter (DL), Brennen Moore (DL) and Jesse Osborne (LB) and junior Deontaye Cosby (LB), they will convert to a 3-5 base defense after alternating between 4-3 and 3-4 base defenses last year. During Hinkle’s season as an assistant head coach under Phil Mauro in 2010, he was heavily involved in designing the spread offense, which set a program record by scoring 328 points. Last year, Canal Winchester won the MSL-Buckeye Division at 7-0, finishing undefeated in the league for the first time since 1975. The Indians finished 9-2 overall, losing to Big Walnut 44-20 in their Division II, Region 7 playoff opener. “We’re changing our defense to a 3-5 to match the athletes we have and to be more aggressive because we have a lot of linebacker-type athletes right now,” Hinkle said. The Indians are looking to replace three starters on offense, including quarterback Drew Black and running back Sam Jones. Black threw 17 touchdown passes and rushed for 12 more last fall, and Jones rushed for 10 touchdowns.

$300 beginning with the 2011-12 school year, Hinkle is optimistic that his program’s numbers won’t drastically decline. On May 3, voters decided not to renew a two-year, $6.4-million emergency levy that was approved in May 2009 and expired at the end of the 2010-11 school year. Mauro left to become coach at Trenton Edgewood and dean of students at Edgewood’s freshman academy after he was informed that his Canal Winchester teaching position could be eliminated even if voters decided to renew the levy. Students’extracurricular activity fees will increase to $450 per activity for 2012-13 and to $600 for 2013-14 if another levy isn’t approved before then. “Paying those higher fees will be a struggle for some families and every sport will lose some potential athletes,” Hinkle said. “I don’t think it will hurt us as much this year because we’re going to do some fundraising to allow our athletes to help themselves. But if we don’t pass a levy until next year and the fee rises to $450 then it could really hurt us.”
Senior Alex Fox, junior Isaac Pifer and sophomore Zach Bontempo are expected to compete for the starting quarterback position. Seniors Alex Pickens and Whitfield likely will share duties at running back. “Our offense graduated a lot of people, but we have a lot of talent in our program and the kids are pushing each other to be their best while they compete for jobs,” Hinkle said. “A lot of our kids competed in track, baseball, basketball and wrestling and were successful in those sports. A lot of them also get together on their own for 7-on-7 competition or for extra lifting and conditioning, so they’re getting better every day. All of that stuff should make us better as a team.” Even though students’ extracurricular activity fees are ex- ablankenship@thisweeknews.com pected to increase from $140 to www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Wood-Bat Baseball
Gahanna squad edges Cobras in U-16 final By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Area fans were treated to some old-school baseball on June 2226. The fourth annual Worthington/Phoenix Wood Bat Tournament was held at eight fields in central Ohio, with the championship games played at Worthington Kilbourne High School on June 26. Fifty teams competed in the Under-16 and U-18 divisions, an increase from 40 entries last year and eight in the tournament’s first year in 2008. Proceeds from the tournament benefited the Kilbourne baseball program. Tournament director Travis Cox began the event four years
ago, looking to give players and fans a different perspective of the game. “A lot of the coaches grew up playing in the wood-bat era, so they’re trying to get their kids to see what it was like to play like that when they were kids,” Cox said. “It definitely changes the atmosphere of the game. Pitchers learn to throw strikes a lot more because they know kids are going to struggle hitting with the wood bat. You see a lot more small ball, bunts, hit and run. The games are 2-1, 3-2.” The tournament kicked off with a college showcase event on June 22 at Kilbourne. Seventy players participated in the event, which allowed them to display their skills to the college coaches in attendance.
The Gahanna American Legion Post 797A team defeated the Columbus Cobras 3-2 in the U-16 championship game. Post 797A improved to 15-4. Pitcher Alec Touhy, who will be a junior at Gahanna, pitched a complete game. He allowed six hits, struck out eight and walked one. Post 797A broke a scoreless tie with three runs in the fourth inning. The key hit was Alex Delp’s two-run single. Touhy drew a bases-loaded walk to score Christian Chiero with the third run against starting and losing pitcher Cody Seagraves. The Cobras, comprised of players entering their sophomore year, closed to within 3-2 with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings.
Alec McCurry led off the fourth with a double and scored on Jarrett Peters’ single. Andrew Chacey singled with two outs in the fifth and scored on Kyle Casserly’s single. Touhy retired the side in order in the seventh. “This is big,” Touhy said. “This team has played together since (the players were) 14 and 15 (years old). We’ve come so close and we’ve actually never got it done, so this is a big deal.” After losing to the Grove City Titans 7-5 on June 23, Post 797A bounced back to win its final four games to finish the tournament with a 5-1 record. “I’m very proud of the boys,” Post 797A coach Mark Cararo said. “They worked awfully hard to come back. I just can’t say
enough about them. The demeanor of the boys was still positive. They knew what they needed to do and they knew they had to win out to have a chance to make it to Sunday. Our goal is always to make it to Sunday.” The Cobras, who began play Memorial Day weekend, fell to 30-5. “We’re 15-year-olds playing in a 16-year-old tournament,” Cobras coach Tim Peters said. “We had great pitching and the kids did well. It came down to a onerun ballgame. I don’t think anyone expected us to be here this weekend.” The Ohio Yankees of Akron dominated opponents in winning the U-18 title. The Yankees defeated the Dayton Dodgers 8-0 in five innings
Tennis
Columbus team wins Ohio Valley Davis Cup By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Tyler Stephen, who recently was named coach of the Dublin Jerome High School girls tennis team, will enter his new job this fall with a fresh perspective of the sport in central Ohio. Stephen and Worthington Kilbourne boys tennis coach Steve Metzmaier guided an 11-player team of some of the area’s top boys and girls tennis players to a firstplace finish in the Ohio Valley Davis Cup on June 18-19 in Charleston, W.Va. “It was kind of nice to have all that talent on the same team,” said Stephen, who
also is coach of the Thomas Worthington boys team. “Most of the time these kids are competing against each other in tournaments, so they all knew each other. But it was a little different situation because now they were competing with each other. Everyone got along so well.” The Columbus team went 3-0 in the tournament. It defeated Cincinnati Gold 6-4 and Dayton 9-1 on June 18 to place first in the top division, and it also defeated Cincinnati Silver 9-1 on June 19. Each match consisted of 10 courts — two boys singles matches, two girls singles matches, two boys doubles matches, two girls doubles matches and two mixed dou-

bles matches. The boys roster featured Watterson’s Aaron Casares, Jerome’s Kent Seitz, Gahanna’s Canyon Teague and Upper Arlington’s Eric Vannatta and Nate Wallace. The girls players were Lauren Bellinger and Sarah Stein of Jerome, Meghan Buell and Cristina DiLorenzo of New Albany, UA’s Elaine Cloern and Watterson’s Katie Shepherd. Bellinger, Buell, Shepherd and Stein competed in the Division I girls state tournament last fall and Seitz, Vannatta and Wallace played in the Division I boys state tournament in the spring.
