Little change expected in school budget By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The South-Western City school board on June 27 approved a temporary fiscal year 2012 general fund budget of $195.7 million, an amount district treasurer Hugh Garside doesn’t expect to change much once a permanent budget is OK’d in October. Garside told the board that two fac-

tors could affect the budget later this year — any change in enrollment in the 20,000-student district and how much real estate tax collections could fall as a result of the continued downturn in the housing market and dropping home market values. However, he told the board he is confident there won’t be any major surprises with the district’s budget. “It (fiscal year 2012 budget) pretty

much matches the five-year financial forecast,” the treasurer said. Board president Mindy Garverick and members Randy Reisling and Karen Dover attended the meeting and unanimously approved the budget. Members Jo Ellen Myers and Cathy Johnson were absent. A district spokeswoman said they apparently are on vacation. Superintendent Bill Wise also was out of town.

The fiscal year 2012 budget is about $2.4 million larger than last year’s budget. Garside said after the meeting that both employee base-pay and step-pay increases account for most of the increase in the budget. All three unions in the district negotiated new contracts this year. Several other factors also pushed the fiscal year 2012 budget higher. “Our fuel budget is up about

$300,000” over last year,” Garside noted. The district does not expect any further significant state funding cuts, the treasurer said after the meeting. South-Western should get about $90 million in state aid next year. In other business at the June 27 meeting, the three board members approved two administrative hirings. See BUDGET, page A2

City council voted to OK the new job. A study conducted by the Mid Ohio Regional Planning Commission four years ago recommended the city have a four-person information systems department, Hurley said. “We’ve done what was necessary to make things Photos by Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek work and keep things operating,” Hurley said. “I can honestly tell you that our footprint has definitely grown since then.

City OKs second town center loan By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers Grove City Council on June 20 awarded its second loan to a town center business. Council members voted 4-1 to award a $110,000, 15-year loan with 3-percent interest to Tossed-N-Grilled, 3985 Broadway. The Town Center Loan Review Committee recommended approval of

the loan. The program was established last year. The loan technically is a refinancing of a loan Tossed-N-Grilled owners Abdallah Bahij and Natalie Dennison secured before buying the building. Bahij and Dennison told council they didn’t have time to finish the town center loan paperwork before they purchased the building because someone else was ready to make an offer on the

property. “I didn’t want to go somewhere else to buy,” Bahij said. “I just jumped on the opportunity. We couldn’t wait.” Bahij and Dennison, who are married, put $45,000 down on the property and are using their home as collateral. The town center loan program allows council to make an exemption to refinance existing loans. Council president Ted Berry said

chair. They can bring a picnic or purchase food and beverages at the site. Blast at Beulah is an alcohol-free event; coolers are subject to searches and tailgating is not permitted.

City OKs second town center loan Continued from page A1 we hope.” The couple said they will spend more than $100,000 to renovate the building. “We completely replaced everything from the electrical to the HVAC to the outside windows to doors and the plumbing. Pretty much everything down to the frame,” Bahij said.

Council member Greg Grinch cast the only vote against the loan. The restaurant plans to serve lunch and dinner with a menu including salads, sandwiches, gyros, hamburgers, soups, frozen yogurt and beer. A liquor license for the business is pending. Dennison and Bahij said the restaurant will feature board games, wireless inter-

net and a large-screen television to encourage family dining. Council approved outdoor seating for Tossed-N-Grilled earlier this year. The Community Capital Development Corp. is being paid up to $45,000 a year to administer the $1-million loan program, which was established to promote town center economic development.

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.

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 at LENTZ 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

work force, the House has added a budget provision that will encourage high school graduates to obtain higher education in-state. It will give Ohio’s students instate tuition rates to Ohio colleges and universities for a set time frame after graduating from high school. This will not only give students the chance to achieve a degree that they otherwise might be unable to afford, it also will attract businesses eager to capitalize on our bright, capable work force. Taken together, these initiatives have the potential to lift our job market to new heights. In the past, Ohio’s government has struggled to induce job creation, opting to rely on quick fixes and short-term solutions. This has left us with an economic malaise and a significant unemployment problem. I believe that by including job-boosting measures such as the elimination of the death tax and better educating our citizens in the state budget, Ohio can rebound from this slump and give our citizens more employment opportunities.

and unethical, as it levies a double-tax on the assets of certain deceased individuals. Far from CHERYL only affecting GROSSMAN the top echelon of earners, this tax is detrimental to the middle class, hurting small business owners along with homeowners and farmers. Furthermore, the estate tax deters people and companies from settling in Ohio and pushes many Ohioans to take their assets and relocate elsewhere. Eliminating this tax will incentivize businesses and business owners to bring jobs within our borders and guard against future population loss. Aside from changing tax laws, the proposed state budget also will strengthen JobsOhio, the new nonprofit economic development entity created at the beginning of this General Assembly. By clarifying the language that governs JobsOhio and providing it with an investment revenue stream, the budget will contribute to its aims of job growth and economic revival.

Guest column

During my time as your state representative, I have kept my finger on the pulse of Ohio’s most pressing needs. At any given moment, many different important issues demand the Ohio Legislature’s attention. We must constantly prioritize and concentrate our efforts on those problems that directly affect both Ohio’s progress and our citizens’ prosperity. This centralized focus is especially important when it comes to drafting the state budget. Ohio has many promising and significant programs and agencies that require funding, but with every decision we make, it is vital that we consider what will best promote our job market. The success of this sector is an indicator of economic growth and sustainability, and we cannot afford to neglect it as we formulate our state budget. In order to cater to job creation and economic advancement, my colleagues and I have included several measures that address these concerns. Earlier this legislative session, Rep. Jay Hottinger and I introduced a bill to repeal Ohio’s estate tax, which we later opted to include as a provision in the state budget. This “death” tax is both unnecessary

AS IT WERE Continued from page A4 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

Church news

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.

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio

FAB 5

Propelled by the 2009 hit song Fire5 flies from the album Ocean Eyes, Adam Young, the braintrust of Owl City, went literally from making processed beats and loops in his parents’ basement to pop music stardom in a few short years. His music career in a whole new stratosphere, Young has returned with a new record titled All Things Bright and Beautiful, and a subsequent tour, which stops at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion on Friday, July 1. Tickets are $25/$28; call 1-800-745-3000. Young was kind enough to answer a few questions posed by The Beat.

The Beat: Could you have imagined the success of Ocean Eyes and the kinds of experiences that success has allowed you to have and what has been the impact and your reaction to it all? Adam Young: Never! I’m an only child from a small town in Minnesota and I was loading trucks for Coca-Cola in a sweaty warehouse two years ago. The music thing started happening and really caught me off guard. I still can’t even believe what’s going on. I remember the moment my manager called me and said one of my tracks when to No. 1 in 24 countries around the world and I almost had a heart attack.

Cabo Cocina offers good food, drinks and views Sitting up amid the treetops and watching the evening sun spend its last light on the lazily lapping ripples of the Scioto River was lulling me into a trance. Or perhaps it was the 20-ounce margaritas. Either way, perching on the aerie-like wooden deck at Cabo Cocina was proving to be an inspired idea. In fact, the groovy mood I was enjoying was so relaxing that I didn’t even mind the background reggae-tinged music Cabo plays. Owned by the Historic Dublin Restaurant Group (of the Brazenheads, Oscar’s and Tucci’s fame), Cabo sits like a roomy stone lodge high above the banks of the Scioto near Dublin. And, as I implied, its comfy patio affords some fairly spectacular riparian views. But restaurant reviewers cannot live on setting alone. Therefore, it’s fortunate that Cabo’s food is pretty fun, too. First, though, there shall be hooch.

by G.A. Benton average, they’re a bit sweet for my palate. My favorite tequila slurp here was an upgrade found on the “Fancy” list — the tighter, brighter and more lime-powered La Classica ($10/$14). Foodwise (chips and an interesting salsa bar are on the house), the slightly spicy Shrimp Tostadas appetizer ($8) delivered the double crunch of deepfried shellfish nachos. Its side players were a cilantro aioli with bits of blue cheese; a warm, smoky and chunky salsa; and a nifty jicama salad. At least as good were the unique Sweet Plantains ($6.50). These were slathered in a spicy, sweet and smoky barbecue type sauce and served with jalapeno pesto plus a cooling-off yogurt dip. As for entrees, Cabo’s got tacos, bur-

ritos, fajitas, et al., but — against type — I preferred the fusion-y, MexiCaribbean stuff from the “Cabo Specialties” section. Among these, the Adobo Pork Mojados ($12.50) were pretty good: big chunks of tender and fatty pig en-

robed in a fruity, red mole-type sauce. These came with excellent beer- and onion-flavored whole “borracho” beans. I got those same neat frijoles, along with cheesy rice, to accompany the recommended Jerk Chicken relleno

($10.50). Served open-faced, the relleno featured charred peppers, tender meat and fruity accents. For more of a showstopper, though, target the Spicy and Crunchy Tilapia ($15). It’s a pretty plate rimmed with a tangy, creamy and smoky tomato sauce and starring darkly crusted, lightly panfried fish. The successful collision of flavors also includes dense, (sometimes) bacon-y smashed plantains, a scorchedcorn salsa and more of that jalapeno aioli. This tilapia’s so good you’ll remember enjoying it even if you later float off into a little summertime trance. I know I did.

New style of barbecue to enter the Columbus market Aloha Hawaiian BBQ & Asian Bistro soon will join the restaurant-laden West Fifth Avenue corridor and serve up its own brand of quick-serve Asian cuisine. Set to open in the next week, the restaurant takes over 2,500 square feet of space in the Shoppes on Fifth, where Buffalo Wild Wings and Five Guys Burgers and Fries are located. The former Panda Express location seats about 60. The family-run restaurant was born of the culinary diverse background of Ken Tsai, the chef and partner who has spent 50 years cooking in the restaurant business.

The new enterprise, 974 W. Fifth Ave., reunites Tsai with Jin Su. The two met while working together 30 years ago in their native Taiwan. Ricky Tsai, son of the chef and also a partner, doesn’t want the restaurant’s name to be misunderstood. Aloha will not serve Hawaiian cuisine, but rather will draw on the state’s reputation as a melting pot of Asian cuisines. The style of food has become increasingly popular on the West Coast, he said. “You don’t see this in the Midwest. This is some-

thing we wanted to bring to the area,” said Tsai, whose wife, Sammi, will manage the restaurant. The menu focuses on a smattering of Hawaiian entrees, many of which use the restaurant’s three homemade barbecue sauces — katsu, teriyaki and Hawaiian barbecue — which offer their own sweet, distinctive tastes. Pork, chicken, shortribs and beef are marinated for 24 hours before being cooked to order. Other dishes, such as the shrimp and mahimahi, are deep-fried. The menu delves into several Asian cuisines: Japanese, Thai and Chinese, with several noodle dishes — soups included — and stir-fried entrees. A few salads and starters are part of the lineup, as well. For logistical reasons, they shied away from sushi but do offer spam musubi, a Hawaiian dish that riffs on Japanese nigiri, a firm square of grilled spam on top of rice and held in place by a band of nori. Tsai said he recognizes the competition from nearby restaurants such as CoCo’s Grill, Happy House, Nong’s Hunan Express and Mark Pi’s Express, so most prices at his restaurant are in the $6.25 to $7.95 range. Alcohol is not served. Aloha is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-298-9688.

Sammi and Ricky Tsai are among a founding partnership that established the Aloha Hawaiian BBQ & Asian Bistro at 974 W. Fifth Ave.

The Goat tavern has opened at 5730 Silver Falls St., off Hayden Run Road in the Dublin area. It’s the third in central Ohio. At 8,000 square feet, it’s the biggest store yet, and offers two volleyball courts with access to a nearby pool. The place offers a standard tavern bill of fare, including burgers, pizzas, wings, salads, sandwiches and appetizers. The first Goat opened in 2003 in New Albany, followed by another location in Gahanna.

Owner Jason Eisenhauer said he completely rebuilt the interior of the space, which used to be a salon. He’s also in the process of building a patio. On a related note, the pub has introduced food service, although it’s limited because there is no hood system. The menu includes traditional tavern fare, such as subs, panini sandwiches, pizza and The UA Pub has moved just a hair down the wings.

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 have See WRESTLING, page B2

Athletes strive to excel in school

Murray trying to make most of opportunity

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 seniors-tobe are focusing on the importance of having a good academic LARRY record. LARSON 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 great discipline.

J.T. Murray helped Louisville to a runner-up finish in the NCAA Division I national tournament. The Grove City native was drafted by Sporting Kansas City.

Kim Murray didn’t understand why she received a photo of a patch of dirt in a text from her son J.T., who was in Juncos, Puerto Rico, this spring to train with Sevilla Futbol Club. “I wrote back, ‘What is this? It looks like dirt,’” she said with a laugh. “He wrote back, ‘Mom, this is our training facility.’” The stint with Sevilla F.C. was part of a six-month soccer odyssey for J.T. Murray, a defender and a 2007 Grove City High School graduate who was named Division I all-state for the Greyhounds his senior season. His journey began after helping the University of Louisville post a 20-1-3 record last fall. The Cardinals reached the Division I national championship game, where they lost to Akron 1-0 on Dec. 12. On Jan. 14, Murray was the 32nd player selected in the Major League Soccer draft by Sporting Kansas City and spent 17 days training with the team in Phoenix. After being cut from the team, he returned to Grove City before going back to Phoenix for a weeklong tryout with the Colorado Rapids last February. Shortly after being cut by the Rapids, he traveled to Puerto Rico and spent three months with Sevilla before asking for his release and returning to Grove City. The past two weeks, he has been working out again with

Sporting Kansas City in Phoenix. “I was only supposed to be out here a week and I’m still here,” Murray said. “I’m just going to stay here until I’m asked to leave or invited to stay forever. I won’t know which one until they tell me. “At the beginning, (the waiting and wondering) was really nerve-wracking, but I’ve been through it a few times now, so it’s not as bad. Times are hard and teams are taking their time signing players. I understand that. So I just wait around and wait around.” Last fall, Murray helped Louisville produce its best season in program history. The Cardinals captured their first Big East championship by defeating Providence 2-1 (3-2 in penalty kicks) in the final of the conference tournament. Then, in the NCAA tournament, they defeated Ohio State 2-1 in the third round, UCLA 54 in a regional final and North Carolina 2-1 in a national semifinal to reach the championship game. Murray said just getting to the Collegiate Cup, which was held in Santa Barbara, Calif., was something he won’t forget. “We trained for that moment all year,” he said. “We always said, ‘Play every game like it’s the national championship.’ It definitely felt like you were playing at a different level.” See MURRAY, page B5

Two area teams win pool plays, reach semifinals 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 See LARSON, page B2 had last year, but we drew into a

Coverage, pgs. B4-B5 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 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’ 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 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 (1-11 in pool play) each finished second in their pools, and the Classics Eagles U-13 (1-1-1), Team Ohio F.C. Green U-17 (0-1-2) and Team Ohio F.C. Juventus U-16 (1-2) each placed third in their

pools. 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.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Richardson 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

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 unBy Chris Parker/ThisWeek derestimate yourself and know your opFormer Dublin Scioto and Ohio State standout Jay Richardson speaks with those attending his camp June 24 at Scioto. tions,” Richardson said. “You can do anything you want to do, but you have The camp was for boys ages 11-18 and focused on teaching life skills. to know what to do.” good grades, so we’re teaching them guest speakers who included area court, sixth grade at Tree of Life, said he learned fdirenna@thisweeknews.com how to do those other things right.” police and military officials. a lot from the presentations.

Buckeye Elite event to attract more than 200 teams By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

About 210 teams from 15 states and Canada are scheduled to play in the eighth annual Buckeye Elite Showcase Tournament that will be held Wednesday, July 6, through July 10 in central Ohio. The tournament is divided into four divisions: Under-14, U-15, U-16 and U-18. More than 40 area high school and college fields will play host to games, said Jeff Dutiel, the chief financial officer for the tournament. The event begins with a skills showcase on July 6 at Dublin Coffman, where athletes will test their abilities in front of college coaches and pro scouts. Worthington-based Big League Baseball School will conduct the invitation-only event. “Our biggest thing is to get the kids looks for colleges,” Dutiel said. The competition also will feature a Buckeye Elite Night on July 8 at Huntington Park. Before the Columbus Clippers’ game against the Toledo Mud

Hens, the teams in the tournament will parade onto the field and players will participate in on-field contests. Players also will have a chance to be honorary bat boys and throw out the first pitch. In tournament play, each division will be divided into pools: 20 four-team pools in U-18, 16 four-team pools in U-16, 14 threeteam pools in U-15 and four fiveteam pools in U-14. In U-18, the winner of each pool will advance to gold championship single-elimination play, leading up to the gold championship game on July 10 at Huntington Park. The second-place team in each pool will compete in silver championship play, with the title game to be played at Olentangy High School on July 10. In U-16, the gold championship game will be at Huntington Park and the silver championship game will be at Dublin Coffman on July 10. In U-15, the gold and silver championship games will be at Dublin Jerome on July 10. In U14, the gold and silver champi-

the number of classes went from 13 to 14 and the 215-pound weight class became mandatory, and in 2006, when the 275-pound 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 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.”

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.

onship games will be at Don Edwards Park in Newark on July 9. Each team that does not qualify for gold or silver championship play will compete in a consolation game on July 9. The Ohio Elite baseball program is expected to field teams in the U-14, U-15 and U-18 divisions. Dublin Jerome coach Chris Huesman will guide his U-17 team in the U-18 division. “The Under-17 is the most critical time for a high school player in summer ball because that’s where all the college coaches are,” Huesman said. “All the college coaches are recruiting for their 2012 class and this is the most important time for these kids, so you want to take them to all the showcases or tournaments that

will have the most exposure, and Buckeye Elite is one of those.” The Columbus Cobras baseball program will enter teams in the U-14 and U-18 divisions. Harry Huskey will coach the U18 team, which won the tournament in 2009. “The caliber of this tournament is really good,” Huskey said. “There are teams from all over the Midwest. We use this tournament to see where we’re at before we head off to the World Series.” Grove City coach Ryan Alexander said competing in summer tournaments are key to the program’s success. He led the Greyhounds to a Division I state semifinal this spring, losing to Liberty Township Lakota East 7-2 on June 2 at Huntington Park.

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Team Ohio F.C.

U-18 boys settle for 2nd in pool play By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Team Ohio F.C. Blast Under-18 boys soccer team found itself with a shortened bench in the Midwest Regional Cup in Fox Cities, Wis., after defender Angelo Pagani and midfielder Drew Pang were injured in the first game. Despite the loss of those starters, Team Ohio Blast managed to go 1-0-1 in its first two pool-play games, tying CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati at 2 on June 25 and beating the Michigan Wolves 3-0 on June 26. However, it couldn’t overcome the ejection of starting defender Max Rohda less than 20 minutes into its final game of pool play June 27 and lost to the KCFC Rangers from Kansas 1-0. The KCFC Rangers won their four-team pool with a 3-0 record and nine points to advance to a semifinal June 28, while Team Ohio Blast finished second (11-1, 4). “That was a nightmare because we had a player sent off the field for a penalty that didn’t happen,” coach Steve Dawson said. “We had three players collide and the referee gave (Rohda) a red card out of it. They got a penalty shot on that play, too, and our goalkeeper (A.J. Fleak) made a great save to keep us in the game. Our team dealt with the situation the best they could and Colton Bloecher had a couple of great opportunities where he could have scored, as did Frazier Fernandes. But it was tough to play with 10 men because it was warm and it was our third game in three days. Our players grew tired as the game wore on and we finally gave up a goal with about 20 minutes left.” Jesus Villarroel and Bloecher each scored goals to help Team Ohio Blast rally from a 2-0 deficit to tie CUP Crew Juniors. The following day, Bloecher, Villarroel and Fernandes scored as Team Ohio Blast defeated the Michigan Wolves. “We had some injuries, but we played well overall and came one win away from making it past group play,” Dawson said. •The Team Ohio Green U17 boys team went 0-1-2 to finish third in its pool with two points behind Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors (3-0, 9) and Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier (1-1-1, 4).

Team Ohio Green opened June 25 by tying Shattuck-St. Mary’s from Minnesota at 1, as Ray Gans scored the tying goal on a penalty kick with 20 minutes remaining. The next day, Team Ohio Green battled Elm Grove Premier to a scoreless tie behind goalkeeper A.J.

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Classics Eagles

Missed chances haunt U-13 boys team By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Even though the Classics Eagles Under-13 boys soccer team had squandered several scoring chances against the Wichita (Kan.) Lightning in its Midwest Regional Cup opener June 25, coach Mike Lentz felt comfortable with a late one-goal lead because his squad was dominating possession. However, those missed opportunities came back to haunt the Classics Eagles. A Lightning player drew a foul 19 yards from the team’s goal with under a minute

left and scored on a free kick to tie the game at 1. That tie proved costly to the Classics Eagles in the tournament in Fox Cities, Wis. They lost to Vardar from Michigan 4-0 the following day and eventually finished third in their four-team pool with a 1-1-1 record and four points behind Cleveland Pacesetter (2-1, 6) and Vardar (2-1, 6). Out of the Classics Eagles’pool, only Cleveland Pacesetter advanced to a regional semifinal June 28. Cleveland Pacesetter finished first on a tiebreaker because it had beaten Vardar.

Nick Teutsch beat three defenders en route to scoring on a low, hard shot just inside the far post to put the Classics Eagles ahead 1-0 in the first half against the Lightning. Will Bolton almost made it 2-0 with 20 minutes left, but his shot hit the left post. “We had total ball control and we only gave up one shot on goal each half, so I felt pretty comfortable in the way we were playing even after we missed out on all of those chances to score a second goal,” Lentz said. “But we got called for a foul and gave up that late goal, and

it took away our momentum and confidence. Had we won that game, I’d like to think we’d have played much better against Vardar. Knowing we had to beat Vardar to have a chance to win our pool, we pushed forward a little more than usual, which left us more vulnerable defensively. And we just didn’t match Vardar’s intensity.” The Classics Eagles concluded pool play June 27 with a 2-0 victory over Cleveland Pacesetter. A.J. Smith scored what would become the winner 12 minutes into the game from 25 yards out.

In the second half, Teutsch scored off an assist from Jake Harr and goalkeeper A.J. Smith made a diving save to his left to preserve the shutout. “That was the best we’ve played all spring,” Lentz said. “We dismantled them in every category, especially when it came to shots on goal and time of possession. It was nice to beat our group winner. We finished a great spring run with a commanding performance.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Ohio Premier

Eagles advance two girls squads to semis By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Ohio Premier Eagles advanced two of four girls soccer teams to Midwest Regional Cup semifinals after pool play concluded June 27 in Fox Cities, Wis. Ohio Premier went 10-2 overall in pool play. The Under-13 and U-16 squads both went 3-0 in pool play and played in semifinals June 28. The regional winners in the U-14 through U-19 age groups, which were determined June 29, advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in Phoenix on July 27-31. The Eagles U-13 team played Eclipse Select of Illinois in its semifinal. Eclipse is a familiar opponent for Ohio Premier. “Unfortunately, our semifinal is the one that everyone says should be the final, but in a blind draw, this happens,” coach Kevin Dougherty said. “We’re friends with the Eclipse and know a lot about them. They have a huge organization that draws from a large area. We’ve played all five of their 13U club teams, but then they combine their best players for the tournaments. They have many very special players.” The Eagles defeated Carmel (Ind.) United SC Elite 3-1 to open pool play. They then beat Greater Toledo FC 5-0 and advanced to a semifinal by beating Centennial (Minn.) 4-0. Against Carmel, Kristen McFarland scored twice and Alivia Milesky also scored. Sam Grim made four saves but allowed a late goal. She then earned the shutout against Toledo, as McFarland scored and assisted on goals by Madison Moroi and Aubrei Corder. Milesky and Bailey Williams also scored. Against Centennial, Moroi had two goals. Corder and McFarland also scored and Grim and Parker Myers were rarely challenged in net. “We scored three goals in the first nine minutes and just began moving girls around, having some fun, working on some things and just trying not to get anyone injured,” Dougherty said. •The U-16 team had to get past Eclipse Select in pool play to advance, and the Eagles did that in dramatic fashion in the finale to move on to a semifinal against KC Force on June 28. The Eagles beat Eclipse Select on the 10th penalty kick after neither team had scored entering the penalty kicks sessions. Both teams scored on two of five penalty kicks to force the extra one-kick rounds, where they matched each other’s efforts until Bailey Wilson converted in the 10th round after Eagles goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas had stopped Eclipse’s 10th kick. James-Buhigas made five saves in the penalty kicks phase. “She was unbelievable and came up with huge saves when we needed them,” said coach Chris King, whose team outscored its opponents 10-0 in pool play. “Usually, you tell the keeper to get one save in (penalty kicks) and we’ll win it. She had

saves on five of 10 penalty kicks and they were off frame with another. She was just outstanding.” The Eagles won their first two games 7-0 against KC Fusion and 3-0 against Michigan Football Club to put themselves into a points tie with Eclipse before their showdown. “The maximum goal-differential in tiebreakers here is four per game, so both us and Eclipse had seven total points entering (the June 27 pool finale),” said King, who also guided the Eagles’ U-18 team to the regional tournament. “We knew going into it that there had to be a winner and that it could go to penalty kicks. One team was going to the semifinal and the other was going home.” Two years ago, the clubs played in the U-16 regional championship and the Eclipse won in a shootout to send the Eagles home. Against the Fusion, the Eagles used three goals from Lindsay Agnew and one apiece from Nicole Hopkins, Alexis Milesky, Hannah O’Shaughnessy and Brooke Maletic. O’Shaughnessy, Milesky and Agnew scored against Michigan Football Club. The defense was strong in front of James-Buhigas, who made just five total saves in the first two pool games. •The U-19 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance. The Eagles opened by beating Dynamo of Indiana 5-1 before losing to defending regional champion Eclipse (Ill.) 3-0 and beating Bloomfield (Mich.) 5-1 in the finale. Against Dynamo, Sarah Gross scored twice. Also scoring were Nadja Kolliesuah, Ellie Gavin and

Casey Barrett. Shannon Flowers made three saves. Against Eclipse, the teams played a scoreless first half. The Eagles trailed 1-0 with about 10 minutes left when they changed their strategy to try to apply more offensive pressure. “The first half was evenly contested, but we should’ve scored first and led at half,” coach Matt Ogden said. “We needed at least a draw, so it didn’t matter if the final was 1-nil or 3-nil. We had 13 players and they wore us down in the second half. But if we score first, we can play a little different style and try to preserve the lead and get a positive result.” The Eagles got goals from Barrett, Gross, Andrea Hulls and Amber Kern in the finale, as well as an own-goal from Bloomfield. “We had nothing to play for, so we made it a farewell game for these girls who have played together for a long time,” Ogden said. “Flowers marshaled the box pretty well, but we controlled tempo and possession throughout after we fell behind 10. We definitely feel that we are a team worthy of advancing, but it wasn’t meant to be. If we played Eclipse on a different day, things might have been different. But we made mistakes and that’s soccer.

We came back and played hearts-out and that was fantastic.” •The U-18 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance. The Eagles lost their opener 3-1 to KCFC Intensity. They beat Eden Prairie (Minn.) 2-1 and then won 5-2 over Dakota Alliance Black of South Dakota. King was disappointed by the opening loss, but credited the Intensity. “That’s the best team we’ve played in the last two seasons,” King said. “We were down 2-1 and gave ourselves a couple good chances to even it up. But we were unable to do that and we started pressing and got caught forward. We exposed ourselves and they got the extra goal.” Ashley Gruenbaum scored for Ohio Premier. The Eagles trailed Eden Prairie 1-0 after allowing a goal just before halftime. But Jesse Sabers tied it and Michela Paradiso scored the winner with around 11 minutes remaining. Goalie Abbey Smith preserved the win from there. bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

MURRAY difficulty not only communicating with the English-speaking players but the Puerto Ricans on the team. “It was kind of like playing the game of telephone like you did when you were a kid,” Murray said. “I never knew how correct the information was because it was another player’s interpretation of what the coach said.” Then, two of the three Puerto Rican teams that joined the USL went bankrupt early in the season. Murray said Sevilla was “guilty by association” and the USL removed all three teams from their league. Murray read about the news on the Internet before he heard it from team management. “I was like, ‘What’s going on? You haven’t mentioned anything like this was happening,’” he said. “They’re still playing in a Puerto Rican league, but my whole goal was to play in the USL. When I saw that wasn’t going to happen, I asked for my release.” Discouraged, Murray returned home to Grove City before Sporting Kansas City asked him to come back to its training facility. Murray said he continues to work hard as he waits to find out if he made the team. “You hear about players having a meeting with the coach and you know when that happens, they’re either asking them to sign or getting cut,” he said. If Murray gets cut again by Sporting Kansas City, he said he will keep looking for other opportunities in soccer. “I don’t think I have played at the level I am capable of yet,” he said. “I want to play in the MLS. I want to see how I can do in that environment. I’d also like to coach. Until I help other young players learn the things I’ve learned and the stuff I’ve been through, I don’t think I’ll be done with soccer.”

Murray was one of three central Ohio players who played in the national championship game last season. Teammate Aaron Horton, a 2010 Olentangy Orange graduate who scored the winning goals against UCLA and North Carolina, had a potential game-tying goal blocked by Akron’s Chad Barson, a 2009 Olentangy graduate, in the final minute. “It was bittersweet walking off the field,” Murray said. “I realized I’m not going to wake up and train with these guys and see my buddies. “It took a couple of weeks to realize we’ve changed our program for good. We were the first team to get that far. You wish you would have been the ones who won, but that’s soccer.” After the season, Murray began his pursuit of a spot on a MLS team. He thought he had a chance to be signed after playing well in a soccer combine and said it was “surreal” when Kansas City drafted him. “My phone started buzzing and I looked up at the screen and they were calling my name,” he said. “I grew up watching the NBA draft and all the draft shows. It was just awesome to hear them say, ‘With this selection, we pick ...’ and they say your name.” Less than two weeks after the draft, Murray reported to Kansas City’s training camp in Phoenix. When he got there, he learned soccer at that level was a lot different than he anticipated. “Guys there are playing to feed their family and not to win a national championship,” he said. “It’s total intensity all the time.” After being cut by Kansas City and Colorado, Murray tried to land a spot on one of the three USL Pro expansion teams in Puerto Rico. Juncos was a new world for Murray. First, there was the language barrier. Half the team only spoke Spanish and the other half was bilingual. Sevilla’s pbatterson@thisweeknews.com coach, Francis Munoz, was from Spain and had www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

While living here she became part of an important breeding program. She mothered 20 eaglets that were released into the wild. Then in 2008 we received great news that bald eagles were down listed to Threatened in Ohio! Here’s a picture of one of her eaglets born at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Juvenile eagles look very different from adult eagles. The eagle’s first feathers are all brown, including their head and tail; like this picture of Cheyenne who lives at the Zoo too. They also have a dark beak that turns yellow as they mature. These changes take place during the first five years of their life.
