Clintonville’s July 4 celebration

Planning for events ‘coming along fine’

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Red, White and Boom may move around the calendar by a day or two, but Clintonville’s observance of Independence Day remains the same year in and year out.

After all, it’s in the name of the organization that kept the longstanding tradition alive more than a dozen years ago.

“The planning is coming along fine,” G. Scott Smith, president of Clintonville July 4 Celebration Inc., said last week.

Smith estimated that it was about 13 years ago the nonprofit organization was

founded when it appeared the neighborhood Fourth of July celebration faced possible termination.

“The event, it was really not going to happen,” Smith said.

The funeral home director and Realtor Pat Kearns-Davis are the two remaining founders of Clintonville July 4 Celebration Inc., which then and now raises funds to keep the event in Whetstone Park coming back year in and year out. All members of the board of directors reside in the Clintonville, Smith pointed out.

“We all have a passion for the neighborhood,” he said.

And the neighborhood appears to have a passion for ensuring the tradition continues. Two years ago, local businesses pitched in with fundraising events, donations and creation of a website when, once again, the local Independence Day observation was in danger of not taking place.

In excess of 25,000 people turn out each year for the all-day event in the park, according to the website.

That’s gratifying to the organizers, according to the board president.

“We work pretty hard at it to create a

But people serving on juries don’t always remember that, she added, instead expecting conclusive, scientific evidence in every case and automatically mistrusting non-scien-

It was a very Clintonville affair: the monthly luncheon of the Clintonville Area Chamber of Commerce held in the Clintonville Woman’s Club with Clintonville native and resident Andrew J. Ginther, the president of city council.

Naturally, the subject of Clintonville came up a time or two.

Ginther called it “one of Columbus’ greatest neighborhoods” during remarks last week that extolled Ohio’s capital city as having weathered difficult economic times better than most. Andrew Ginther The Democratic council president is running for re-election this fall on a slate with fellow Democratic incumbents Hearcel F. Craig, Zachary J. Klein and Michelle M. Mills. They face opposition from two Republicans, Matt Ferris and Daryl Hennessy, as well as two candidates from the Libertarian Party, Bob Bridges and Mark Noble.

Much of Ginther’s speech at the chamber gathering focused on Columbus 2020, which is described on its website as “a bold initiative that will position Columbus to become the fastest-growing economy in the country.”

A mere 60 years ago, Ginther said, Columbus had 250,000 residents. The most recent census set that figure at 800,000, he said, a growth rate that would make most major cities green with envy.

County coroner discusses ‘CSI effect’

Woman’s ‘soul celebrates’ when she sings with choir

By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers When she sings, Denise Baumann stops worrying about whether she’s facing precisely the same direction or holding her music at exactly the same height as the other members of the Clintonville Community Choir.

A quick glance would enable the rest of the singers to correct any slight errors of positioning, but that’s denied to Baumann.

She has been blind since birth. All she has ever been able to see are light and dark and colors. “That’s starting to fade,” she said last week.

But any concerns about positioning fade for Baumann when it comes time to open her mouth and permit her voice to pour from her throat, in harmony with the others.

“When I sing music, my body breathes,

my spirit soars, my heart magnifies and my soul celebrates,” she wrote in an email.

Baumann is one of the original members of the Clintonville Community Choir, now in its sixth year. She’s also in the C’Ville Songsters, a 10-member ensemble that puts on performances to help raise funds for the overall nonprofit organization.

The members of the choir, under the direction of Tom Maxwell, will put on their summer concert on Sunday, July 10.

Part of the North Columbus Civitan Club Park of Roses Summer Concert Series, the performance will take place at 7 p.m. at the Gazebo.

Planning for July 4 events are ‘coming along fine’ Continued from page A1 safe and pretty nice event for the day,” Smith said. “This is 100 percent funded by the community.”

He conceded that fundraising has been even more of an uphill battle the last three years or so due to the economic downturn.

“We had to trim down a few things that didn’t really affect the quality of the event,” Smith said.

A Fourth of July celebration in Whetstone Park, complete with

fireworks, all of it paid for without city dollars, dates back more than 60 years.

Lots of volunteers, including local Boy Scout troops and church groups, help to put the event on, Smith said.

Contributions are always appreciated, he added, and may be sent to P.O. Box 141463, Columbus, Ohio 43214.

The money helps pay for not only the fireworks show that concludes the day’s events but also

the hiring of police officers and emergency personnel, as well as renting portable toilets and tents.

Once the day is done and the cleaning up has taken place, Clintonville July 4 Celebration Inc. board members and officers give themselves only a brief break before getting back to work, Smith said.

“In about November, we start working on it again,” he said. “It’s a lot of work, but the reward is the success of the day.”

Helping to plan the Clintonville July 4 celebration are Pat-Kearns Davis (from left), Duffy Horan, Chris Herbst, G. Scott Smith and Addie Davis.

Job growth, rather than population growth, is the major focus of Columbus 2020, an economic-development of the steering group composed of chief executive officers from major companies in the central Ohio area that’s called the Columbus Partnership.

One of the chief goals of the initiative, Ginther told chamber members, is to create 150,000 new jobs by 2020 and increase the per-capita income in Columbus by 30 percent. He called the Clintonville chamber and similar organizations throughout the city a “critical part to our longterm strategy.”

Ginther said that 14 of the country’s largest companies call Ohio home, while Columbus can boast of having not only Ohio State University and the largest research and development operation in the United States in Battelle Memorial Institute, but also a number of major medical institutions.

Achieving the goals set forth by Columbus 2020, the council president said, will mean attracting and retaining young professionals. Columbus is second only to Boston in the number of undergraduate students, Ginther pointed out, but that doesn’t ensure they will remain in the city.

Young professionals today move to a city where they want to live and then look for a job, as opposed to moving to where work is available, according to Ginther.

“That’s why quality of life is so important,” he added.

“We’re excited about the future,” Ginther said in concluding his remarks. “We have a bold plan.”

During a question-and-answer period, the council president was asked if he had heard of any interest being expressed in the now-vacant Clintonville Electric property on North High Street just south of North Broadway.

“There’s nothing concrete that I can report to you,” Ginther replied, adding, however, that the city is “willing to throw the kitchen sink” into incentives to redevelop the site and that it was a priority of Mayor Michael B. Coleman to have the right kind of project occupy that space.

Asked about increased parking along North High Street to help business owners, Ginther acknowledged it was a thorny issue.

“We’ve got our work cut out for us,” he said.

It’s an issue not only in Clintonville but also in other parts of the city, Ginther added. Traffic engineers, by concentrating primarily on moving traffic, used to “drive neighborhood development” with their decisions, he said. This sometimes resulted in one-way streets that eliminated a “neighborhood feel,” Ginther said. He pointed to Gay Street downtown, now open to twoway traffic and the scene of both business and residential development, as evidence that trend can be reversed.

“You can’t reverse 20 years of practice overnight,” Ginther said.

Franklin County coroner discusses ‘CSI effect’ Continued from page A1 tific evidence. They are also, according to Gorniak’s PowerPoint presentation, “oblivious to constraints of cost, time, manpower and priorities.”

Gorniak, the county’s first full-time forensic pathologist to serve as coroner, said it isn’t only potential jurors who believe conclusive DNA tests and fingerprint matching should be part of the evidence in all criminal trials. Crime victims, too, expect science to solve their cases.

“Why people get caught is they talk too much,” she said.

Sometimes even prosecutors get caught up in the DNA fervor, according to Gorniak, who was elected coroner in November 2008.

She related the case of a corpse found in a closet. The victim, a man, had been strangled. His arms had been cut off and weren’t found at the scene. They did not turn up until police pulled over the man’s stolen car, which was being driven by his son. The severed arms were in a tote in the back seat.

As the son was coming to trial, the prosecutor in the case sought out Gorniak to ask if her office had done DNA testing to prove the arms from the car belonged to the body from the closet. She hadn’t put the county to that expense, Gorniak explained, because of the supreme unlikelihood of two men being murdered and having their arms cut off on the same night, let alone that one victim’s arms would turn up in the back seat of the other victim’s car, which was driven by his son.

“If those aren’t his arms, we have a problem,” Gorniak said.

“The CSI Effect,” as the coroner titled the main portion of her address to the Block Watch representatives during their monthly meeting, has been an issue discussed in legal and law enforcement circles for quite some time.

Rather naturally, no definitive conclusions have been arrived at.

Writing in the Yale Law Journal in 2006, former Maricopa County (Ariz.) Chief Prosecutor Andrew P. Thomas stated: “Real prosecutors’ offices are constrained by their limited resources. While some jurisdictions have access to some of the ‘bells and whistles’ equipment depicted in television dramas, those resources are usually reserved for the most serious crimes.

“In Maricopa County, as in other counties, most felonies do not involve high-profile crimes and lengthy trials. The majority of prosecutions are for lower-level offenses like auto theft, drug possession, and assault. These cases often do not yield irrefutable physical or scientific evidence of guilt

Community events

or innocence.”

“As they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” Benjamin Radford wrote on the Discovery Channel website.

Radford is a research fellow for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer science magazine and author of five books.

“For example, jurors who watch a lot of crime shows with cases which are solved by good quality forensic evidence, such as clear fingerprints, might expect to find fingerprints at the scene of a crime. If a defendant’s fingerprints are not found at the crime scene, a juror might conclude that he or she wasn’t there, whereas in fact there could be many reasons why a person might not leave identifiable fingerprints …”

On the other hand, in a March 2008 article posted on the National Institute of Justice website, Washtenaw County (Mich.) Trial Court Judge Donald E. Shelton cited a scientific study that appeared to debunk the “CSI Effect.”

“Although our study revealed that the prospective jurors had high expectations for scientific evidence, the more important question, I believe, is whether those expectations were more likely to result in an acquittal if they were not met,” Judge Shelton wrote. “In other words, do jurors demand to see scientific evidence before they will find a defendant guilty?”

In most scenarios, Shelton said, potential jurors “increased expectations of scientific evidence did not translate into a demand for this type of evidence as a prerequisite for finding someone guilty.

Based on our findings, jurors were more likely to find a defendant guilty than not guilty even without scientific evidence, if the victim or other witnesses testified, except in the case of rape. On the other hand, if the prosecutor relied on circumstantial evidence, the prospective jurors said they would demand some kind of scientific evidence before they would return a guilty verdict.”

In her appearance before the Block Watch coordinators, Gorniak sought to dispel some other myths television programs have created regarding crime scene investigators.

“We never take our nieces, cousins or friends to the scene to reenact them,” she said, adding that coroner’s office personnel also don’t have Hummers at their disposal but instead, until recently, drove a “hand-me-down vehicle from Franklin County Animal Control.”

The No. 1 reason the coroner’s office is different from “CSI,” according to Gorniak: “They won’t let us carry guns.” kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Woman’s ‘soul celebrates’ when she sings with choir Continued from page A1 about her stage presence, was welcomed with open arms by the fledgling community chorus members after her husband, Paul Baumann, read a notice of its formation in the newspaper.

“I think maybe there was some awe and surprise on the part of Tom Maxwell, our conductor,” Denise Baumann said.

As much as the harmony, Baumann said that she enjoys the camaraderie of being in the Clintonville Community Choir.

“I think that there is a huge passion that brings us together in the first place,” she said in an interview. “Then there’s the thrill of working collectively to have superb pitch, intonation, expressiveness. Or try to.

“We have to be moved by the music.”

Baumann has always been moved by music. She can remember swinging on a swing as a young girl and singing aloud songs she had memorized.

The native of Cincinnati said that she has gotten many different diagnoses over the years to explain her blindness. The most credible, she feels, is that it’s a result of a problem when she was born, probably a cerebral hemorrhage.

Baumann’s parents died in a car crash when she was 11 months old, so she was never able to ask them about her birth.

Although her grandparents could not afford voice lessons when she was a little girl, Baumann sang in choirs all throughout school and, at 14, she learned to play a few chords on a guitar in order to be able to sing folk music in the Catholic church she attended.

At the age of 5, Baumann said that her grandparents brought her to Columbus to potentially enroll her in the Ohio School for the Blind, but even at that young age she was not comfortable with being primarily around others who could not see.

“It wasn’t a reality that I could accept,” she said. “I just felt I needed to live the way other people did.”

Baumann majored in social work at Ohio State University, where she sang in the University Chorus.

After a varied career in social work, including stints at the Columbus Developmental Center and the Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center, with time off to be at home with son Brendan, now 25, Baumann decided to make life and career changes. Today, she is a licensed massage therapist working out of

an office on North High Street not far from her home.

After being in all kinds of singing groups, Baumann said that she was delighted when husband Paul, who recently retired from the U.S. Geological Survey and was an adjunct associate professor in OSU’s School of Natural Resources and the Department of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology, told her of the Clintonville group that was forming.

“Oh, my gosh, I get to serve my own community at last,” she recalled thinking.

Although Denise Baumann learned to read Braille music at one time, she has to memorize the songs performed by the Clintonville Community Choir; its repertoire would be impossible to find in the language that enables the blind to read.

“What I find most challenging is how I need to learn the music,” Baumann said. “I have learned to listen to everything around me, and take (from other singers) what I need to plug in and to plug out.”

Baumann loved to sing as a child, and it’s something she still loves to do.

“It takes you to a depth you never thought was possible to make a sound you didn’t think you could achieve,” she said.

Commentary & opinion 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 the afternoon 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, inti-

mate crowd of 500,000, as well as neighborhood fireworks shows on the Fourth of July.

But such ED was not the case a century LENTZ 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.

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 4-6 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 B3

Club Soccer

Two teams reach semis

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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 fourteam 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 Under19 boys coach Brian Bliss said the decrease in central Ohio poolplay winners probably was because of bad luck and not a lack of talent or effort.

Bliss led the Crew Juniors U19 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 held June 29.

Regional champions in the U14 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’ U18 and U-19 teams each went 21 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 121.

“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

Former Dublin Scioto and Ohio State standout Jay Richardson speaks with those attending his camp June 24 at Scioto. The camp was for boys ages 11-18 and focused on teaching life skills.

Camp focuses on success off field

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers While many football camps stress Xs and Os, the Jay Richardson Camp at Dublin Scioto High School focused on life skills.

The second annual camp, which was held June 24-25, was open to boys ages 11-18.

Richardson, a defensive end for the Seattle Seahawks who played at Ohio State and graduated from Scioto in 2002, said he was

thrilled that he could hold the camp at his alma mater.

The theme of the camp was “There is more to sports than the game,” and Richardson said he was eager to share that message.

“This means a lot,” Richardson said. “It’s awesome that the high school was with me on this to get all these kids in here. It’s awesome that we can get the kids educated on what their options are and their future outside of their sport.”

Forty-seven boys attended last year’s inaugural camp at American Methodist Episcopal Church on North Hamilton Road in Columbus. There were 104 at this year’s camp at Scioto.

“We’re telling the kids there’s more to sports than the game and if you don’t learn the stuff that’s really important then football doesn’t matter and soccer doesn’t matter,” said Deborah Johnson, a coordinator of the event and Richardson’s mother.

“Sports won’t matter if you’re not doing

the right thing, if you’re not a gentleman and if you don’t have good grades, so we’re teaching them how to do those other things right.”

Those messages were conveyed by guest speakers who included area court, police and military officials.

Michael Carter, who will be entering sixth grade at Tree of Life, said he learned a lot from the presentations.

Women’s Basketball

Area players hone skills with Hidden Gems

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tapre Young could have several options in terms of her basketball career if things continue in the direction they’ve been going this summer.

Now in her third season as a captain on the Columbus Hidden Gems semi-professional team, the 2004 Dublin Scioto High School graduate is one of the top outside shooters in the Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League.

At 5-foot-11, Young averages more than 15 points and has been shooting better than 50 percent from 3-point range.

That combination could make her an attractive possibility for overseas teams looking for players for their seasons, which begin in the fall.

“I haven’t played anywhere See OVERVIEW, page B2 overseas, but hopefully I will

after this season,” Young said.

“I really wouldn’t mind playing in Spain, France or anywhere in Europe. I’d even consider Australia. Any time you can get paid for what you do, it’s a good thing.”

If Young is unable to land a professional contract, she has an offer to serve as an assistant coach for the Talladega (Ala.) College women’s team.

After graduating from Scioto, Young played two seasons for

Muskingum and two seasons for Salem International, a Division II school in Salem, W.Va. She then served one season as a student-assistant coach and graduated from Talladega College.

Wood-Bat Baseball

Gahanna squad edges Cobras in U-16 final

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Area fans were treated to some oldschool baseball on June 22-26.

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 Under16 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 16year-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 in the championship game and outscored their opponents 30-3 in the tournament.

The top area team was the Ohio Elite, which reached a semifinal but lost to the Dodgers 11-4 to finish 4-2. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

GEMS Continued from page B1 “(The Women’s Blue Chip League) is good competition, especially when you get to nationals,” Young said. “I like the fact that you get an opportunity to play and it gives you the opportunity to get looked at overseas. It’s a chance to showcase your talents.”

After getting off to a 2-0 start, the Hidden Gems were 3-4 after losing to the Cleveland Crush 84-74 on June 25.

On Saturday, July 2, Columbus will play host to the Oakland-Macomb Run from Oakland, Mich., in a Northeast Division game. The Hidden Gems lost to the Run 87-67 on June 5 but won a rematch 97-85 on June 12.

The Hidden Gems play their home games at Lazelle Woods Recreation Center in north Columbus near Worthington.

The roles of Young and cocaptain Lorrie Poindexter, a 2003 Beechcroft graduate in her second year playing for Columbus,

Diebler, Lighty to help direct camp are more extensive than a year ago when former Ohio State player Brandie Hoskins and former Bowling Green player Niki McCoy were among the key players.

Jeannie Saunders, who also was a captain a year ago, has been out with an injury but could return in July.

Saunders and 2006 Delaware graduate Ashleigh Brown, who has played limited minutes with the Hidden Gems this season because of other commitments, recently signed extensions to play for a team in Sweden in the fall. Jamika Banks, a Fort Wayne, Ind., native who also was expected to play for Columbus, currently is playing in Australia.

Catherine Cain, a Dayton native, has been averaging 19 points and 12 rebounds. Jessica Slack, a Thornville Sheridan graduate, averages 13 points.

The other central Ohio natives on the Hidden Gems are 1999 Brookhaven graduate Ebony Pegues, 2001 Mifflin graduate

Sherrie Griffin, 2006 Africentric graduate Janicia Anderson and 2003 Walnut Ridge graduate Tina Huff.

Columbus has three games remaining in the regular season before competing in the regional tournament in late July in Flint, Mich.

The national tournament will be held Aug. 6-7 in Atlanta.

Poindexter will begin her third season this winter as the girls basketball coach at Walnut Ridge.

“I think everything is going OK,” said Poindexter, who is averaging 14 points and five assists. “We’re a whole new team really and we’ve just got to work together better. We’re better than the teams that have beaten us.

We don’t have any superstars this year. Our team has a whole lot of heart and we just have to keep our team chemistry. By the time we get to Atlanta, we’ll be fine.”

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

classes 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

Former Ohio State basketball players Jon Diebler and David Lighty will help direct the fourth annual Buckeye Stars Basketball Camp from 9 a.m. to noon July 27-29 at Worthington Kilbourne.

work out,” Grant said. “The figure 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.”

“I like the way they’re talking, like mentors and the way you have to do better stuff and try to do the right thing,” he said.

Sam Tickle, who served 11 years in the U.S. Navy, began the camp by sharing stories and a video on his completion of 30 sports in 30 cities in 30 days. Tickle’s presentation, part of the EAS Unstoppable Tour, focused on proper sports nutrition and setting and achieving goals.

“The one thing that I wanted to push is your brain gives up before your body gives up,” Tickle said.

“You can push yourself a lot further when you just set your mind to it. If you’re able to train your brain to realize that pain is just temporary and that if you focus on a goal, your body will perform the way it needs to.”

Current and former members of the Ohio State football program also shared their experiences. That group included Taylor Rice, a 2008 Scioto graduate and junior defensive back with the Buckeyes.

The camp also featured NFL players including Mike Mitchell, a safety with Oakland and a former teammate of Richardson, who was drafted by the Raiders in 2007.

“The one message that I want kids to take away from this camp is never underestimate yourself and know your options,” Richardson said. “You can do anything you want to do, but you have to know what to do.”
