Voters will see charter issues on ballot By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

It appears Bexley voters will cast ballots on four separate charter issues when they go to the polls in November. As a result of discussions at a May 31 special city council meeting, members agreed to present a series of four changes to the city charter individually instead of lumping them together as a single issue. Those proposed changes will include:

Bexley bids farewell to Class of 2011 Eric Fingerhut, former Ohio chancellor of higher education and member of the U.S House of Representatives, gave the commencement address June 5 as 192 seniors celebrated graduation from Bexley High School. “Growing up here is a great gift given to you by your parents and by fate,” he said. “You’’re not going to be great at everything, but everyone is great at something,” Fingerhut told the BHS Class of 2011.

Fingerhut noted that in the future, “people all over the world will be turning to you for help … you will want to partner with others who are good at what they do.” He said the seniors should strive to be great at what they do, so that their contributions to the world will be more useful. The BHS Vocal Ensemble performed the John Lennon tune, “Imagine” and led the crowd in the school’s alma mater during the ceremony.

Senior class president Evan Soll addressed the crowd as well, exclaiming, “Wow! What an incredible journey we’ve been on together.” Looking out at the crowd, he said he saw many familiar faces, but “totally different people. “All right, everyone, let’s show the world what we’ve got,” he concluded. “This ceremony effectively marks the end of childhood, but not the end of learning,” said Harley Williams, principal of secondary schools.

After months of discussion and legal research, new 20-mile per-hour speed limit signs have been erected at Montrose Elementary School. Bexley public service director Bill Harvey said the signs — which do not include flashing lights but do declare the area a school zone with a 20 mph speed limit — were erected Friday. Bexley City Council’s safety committee has spent months discussing pedestrian safety concerns with Montrose parents since plans were approved for the new Piada Restaurant next door to the school on Main Street. Safety committee chairman Mark Masser suggested a joint meeting be held between city council, members of the Bexley school board and parents to discus concerns about student safety. At the request of Mayor John Brennan, however, a decision was made to hold that meeting after Piada opened its doors in May. Harvey said he doesn’t think any meetings have been scheduled and added he doesn’t think it makes sense to revisit the issue until the 2011-12 school year begins this fall. “I don’t think there have been any meetings scheduled with the schools to talk about those issues,” Harvey said. “Quite frankly, it’s my perception, and I don’t know this for a fact, that the schools don’t really think there is a safety problem there. I haven’t gotten any comments from the schools saying this is an issue. Comments have come from a few residents who make a big deal out of it.” At the request of those residents, Masser had city staff look into adding signage at the school

“

We got two signs that say 20 mile per hour speed limit when students are present. They were supposed to go up this afternoon (June 3). I was out there with the police and we marked the location.”

in an effort to slow down traffic. “We got two signs that say 20 mile per hour speed limit when students are present,” Harvey said. “They were supposed to go up this afternoon (June 3). I was out there with the police and we marked the location.” The signs were installed later that day. The city is also considering doing a new traffic study of the area, but Harvey said that would be best accomplished at a time when the restaurant is open and school is in session. “I’ve been out there several times since they opened and I can’t see a traffic problem with Piada,” he said. “Let’s figure out what we want to study, if anything, and then let them do the study. “One resident said, ‘Let’s do a traffic study before Piada opens.’ Well, that doesn’t make any sense. Now that school is going to be out for the summer, it’s hard to do a study now because you won’t have buses stopping and parents and all that kind of stuff.

Madison guest chef for Bexley Wedding planning on a budget Historical Society cookout Financial finesse

Your wedding day may be one you have dreamed about your entire life. In those dreams, it’s likely that no expense was spared in making the event memorable for you and your guests. When it comes time to actually plan your wedding, however, you’ll likely be operating on a much tighter budget than you had in those dreams. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to make the event spectacular without spending a small fortune. In addition to the following tips, research will yield many books and online resources devoted to this topic. Schedule your wedding out of season. There’s no right or wrong time to plan your wedding, but there are dates that are more popular, and thus more expensive. Avoiding the early summer and early fall months makes it easier to negotiate lower prices with vendors. Additionally, Fridays and Sundays tend to be less expensive than Saturdays. Choose a nontraditional venue for your ceremony or reception. Holding your event in a backyard, park, on public grounds or in another location that doesn’t specialize in hosting weddings is both unique and can be a big cost-saver. Remember, however, to take into consideration the cost of tables, chairs and other rentals. Don’t spend a lot on invitations. Couples may think the invitation sets the tone for the wed-

Church Brookwood plans parent seminars Brookwood Presbyterian Church, 2685 E. Livingston Ave., will offer parent information seminars from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesdays: • July 6: “Your Child Has Been Diagnosed With Asperger’s Disorder. What Is It? How to Deal With It,” presenter Glenn Byers. • July 13: “Depression/Anxiety. What Is It?” with presenter Glenn Byers. • July 20: “How To Help Your Child Develop Positive Social Skills,” presenter Denise Lewis. • July 27: “Be Prepared for the School Year: How to Deal With Suspension and Expulsion,” presenter Ellen Wristen. The seminars are free, but reservations are required. Call the church office at 235-3534.

ding, but the reality is, guests rarely remember the invite after opening the envelope. Consider cutting MICHELLE costs by choosing less JOHNSON expensive invitations or even making your own. For the response card, opt for a postcard or even an electronic reply on one of the popular wedding websites to save even more. Get your friends and family involved. There are likely some very talented people in your circle of friends. Tap them to be part of your special day. You can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by asking your friends to fill important roles such as photographer, DJ and florist. Find something borrowed. Friends and family may have centerpieces, apparel or other items from their wedding that they would be honored to loan you for yours. Ask around. Purchase in season. When choosing flowers, look for varieties that will be in season on your wedding day. You’ll save a bundle and likely have more beautiful arrangements. The same principle works with menu planning. Look for local and in-season foods when deciding what you’ll serve at the re-

ception. Negotiate. Don’t hesitate to ask for a discount from your vendors and suppliers. In a tough economy, they may be willing to offer you great rates to get your business. And there’s no harm in asking. Rent what you can’t afford to buy. Although most brides opt to purchase and store their wedding dress after the big day, few ever wear or do anything with the gown again. By renting, you can wear a designer dress for a fraction of the cost of purchasing. Reduce the size of your guest list and wedding party. Scrutinize your guest list and consider limiting the number of your attendants. Scaling back can help you save on the cost of invitations, favors, meals and more. Make wedding purchases with a rewards card. Rather than writing a check, consider using a credit card that rewards you with frequent-flier miles, hotel points or even cash back. Depending on how much you spend, the rewards could help defray the cost of your honeymoon travel.

The Bexley Historical Society will host a family picnic and cookout on Saturday, June 25, from noon to 3 p.m. at the organization’s headquarters and museum, 2080 Clifton Ave. Former mayor David Madison will grill hamburgers for those attending. “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” he said. Madison has been the grill chef at many Bexley fundraisers, events and holiday celebrations. While he was mayor, he barbecued at an average of 27 cookouts a year. Madison is well known for cooking hot dogs and hamburgers at Bexley’s long-running Summerfest celebration that took place on Main Street. When he cooks food at events, Madison says that he has fun talking to people and knowing they will enjoy the hamburgers and hotdogs that he grills for them. “It just brings people together,” he said.

During the picnic, Bexley Historical Society docents will be on hand to lead tours of the organization’s museum. Located in the former Jeffrey Estate Caretaker’s Cottage, the museum includes photos and historical artifacts that help people see what life in Bexley was like more than 100 years ago. If it rains on June 25, the Bex-

ley Historical Society cookout will be held Sunday, June 26, instead. Cost to have lunch at the cookout is $3. Madison and JoAnne Grossman are the event’s co-chairs. For more information on the Bexley Historical Society, call (614) 559-4360 or visit the website at to www.bexleyhistory.org.

SPEED Continued from page A1 tell the traffic engineer what to study.” As far as the meeting involving city, school district and parents is concerned, Harvey said he doesn’t think it is necessary at this point. “My sense is, that because they don’t really think there is a problem, the school don’t really want to have a meeting, to make it sound like here’s a problem that doesn’t exist,” Harvey said. Bexley City School District communications coordinator Amy Thompson said Superintendent Mike Johnson has been working to set up a meeting with the city’s safety committee about the traffic around Piada. The meeting was set, then canceled and now is being rescheduled. “The schools are advocating for a change that would reverse the direction of the alley behind Piada so that it would go one way, away from Montrose Elementary,” he said. “We are also asking that the city limit deliveries to the restaurant to times other than 8 to 8:45 a.m. and 3 to 3:45 p.m.”

Cassingham Elementary family celebrates ‘Barb Heisel Day’ May 27 was “Barb Heisel Day” at Cassingham Elementary, as the school celebrated its departing principal. A veteran educator for nearly 40 years, Heisel has served as principal at Cassingham since 1991. She officially retired last summer, but continued to serve as principal this school year in order to lead the school through an important International Baccalaureate (IB) reauthorization and give the school district time to conduct a search for her replacement. As principal, Heisel guided Cassingham through its application process and authorization by the IB Primary Years Program as it became Ohio’s first IB Primary Years Program in 2007. At Cassingham’s Town Meeting on May 27, students and teachers honored Heisel with poems, songs and video. Various classes of students employed words describing the characteristics of IB students to celebrate Heisel. Sonja Hutchison’s fifth-grade class, for example, wrote, “Thank you for being so committed to us

all,” while Julie Stewart’s secondgraders encouraged Heisel to take risks as she enjoys her retirement. One student’s note suggested that Mrs. Heisel “cook a lot … go to Australia, be the first woman president and maybe go to Mars.” Sixth-graders thanked Heisel: “You gave us independence and confidence.”

BALLOT

Jeannine Hetzler’s fifth-graders, inspired by musician Muddy Waters, wrote and performed “The Inquiry Blues,” a song including these lyrics: “Mrs. Heisel’s working; she’s got one more month to go/Mrs. Heisel’s working; lawd, got one more month to go/We wonder when she leaves us, how her

As it were

Trash: An ever-present problem for a growing city In the wake of a recent threeday holiday weekend, I was reminded of — among other things — the remarkable cleanliness of Ohio’s capital city. Columbus is certainly not unique in the cleanliness of its streets and the remarkable efficiency of its refuse removal. But anybody who has recently been to a “filthy city” — and we will politely not mention any names — probably has thankfully returned to Columbus and assumed that the metropolis of central Ohio has always been this efficiently clean. Of course, that assumption would not be correct. For much of the first 100 years of its history, Columbus was a pretty dirty place. This should not really be all that surprising. Through most of human history, cities have been places where large numbers of people have gathered for one reason or another. And generally, they have been more interested in those reasons — to do business, to worship, to have a good time — than they have been inclined to pick up after themselves. Columbus is a created city. There was not all that much on the “high banks opposite Franklinton at the forks of the Scioto” in 1812 except a lot of forest and a very large Indian mound that gave Mound Street its name. It was at this pristine location that the Ohio General Assembly decided to make a new home. And even though only a few hundred people lived here at first, it did not take them long to make a mess. One of the very first ordinances passed by the Borough of Columbus in 1816 as the legislature was preparing to meet here for the first time dealt with the condition of the streets, such as they were. The ordinance of May 23, 1816, forbade “the obstruction of the thoroughfares by lumber, firewood, stable garbage, earth from cellars or any other means.” The mayor, Jarvis Pike, could impose fines if he saw fit. When one notes that the mayor was making money by removing the stumps from Statehouse Square for the governor in one of the state’s first public works contracts, it probably will not come as a shock to learn that the stumps in High Street were ignored. No one was paying to have them removed. And no one was really complying with the street-cleaning ordinance, either. Mayor Pike soon decided not to seek re-election and entered into several private-sector businesses. His successors were not better, and may have been worse, at keeping the trash of the city under control. A few examples: On June 26, 1820, the city marshal was ordered to “remove any logs from Broad Street, west of Fourth Street, that may have grown on the ground and is fallen thereon.” There is no record that the marshal did any such thing. In 1832, the residents of lots on High Street from Broad to Main streets were ordered “to collect the dirt into convenient

heaps on Saturday of each week.” There is no record that the residents complied with that order, eiED ther. LENTZ “Dirt” was a major problem in the early city. This was due primarily to certain basic facts: Most of the streets were not paved. Most of the streets were being used as sewers as well as thoroughfares. Columbus was a city powered by horses and its streets were filled with what horses left behind. Put all of this together and one can see why the removal of dirt was an important issue. By 1840, Columbus was a town of more than 6,000 people and the streets — at least near Broad and High — were at least moderately clean at least some of the time. An ordinance passed that year was more modest in its intent. The long-suffering marshal was ordered to employ someone to “clean the paved gutters of the city of all dirt and filth.” Presumably, the idea here was that dirt and filth pushed into the street would be washed away after a while. How this would happen in a city without sewers was not explained. Things had not improved much by 1850. A writer informed a local newspaper of the problems of inner city travel: “On Tuesday last, a couple of friends from Cleveland, delegates to the Temperance Convention, wishing to visit the Lunatic Asylum (at Jefferson and Broad), I took them in my carriage and set out on the perilous undertaking of reaching that institution; and by trespassing on the gravel sidewalk of Mr. Kelley (near Fifth and Broad), and some others, we contrived to get within 40 or 50 rods of the Asylum gate, when we were stuck fast in the mud, and after breaking the carriage and harness in endeavoring to proceed, we were compelled to wade on foot through the mire.” The arrival of 26,000 Union troops at Camp Chase did not help improve city cleanliness much. A local paper complained in 1865 as the Civil War was ending that, “Our Street Commissioner, having wakened up from his Rip Van Winkle slumbers,

was out yesterday with an overwhelming force, consisting of a one-legged man and two assistants, actively engaged in cleaning up … Heaven knows there is need of it.” By the early 1870s, Columbus was growing rapidly and the downtown near the Statehouse was being kept reasonably clean. The area north of town near the railyards was another matter: “The weather at present writing warrants a hope that navigation between the National Hotel (Nationwide and High Street) and the North Graveyard (North Market) will be closed today. For several days, it has been impossible to get a respectable footing anywhere in the territory described above. We doubt whether such a sea of mud has ever afflicted any other city.” Actually, many other cities had precisely the same problems. If anything, Columbus — because it was the capital city — was probably cleaner than most cities of comparable size in these years. At last in 1886, a program of relatively regular street cleaning was begun in Columbus. A fourhorse sweeper began to clean High Street six nights a week. By 1892, the service was being performed by two two-horse sweepers. But even this service was not uniform, since it was paid for by local property owners who desired it. It would take another generation for really complete street cleaning and refuse removal to come to Columbus. But by 1911 — 100 years ago — it was here. Superintendent Kautzman described his refuse-collection department for a local paper: “Our present quarters (on Short Street) in addition to the disposal plant, consist of a loading station, a commodious barn, both of brick, and a wagon shed now in the process of completion. We have 104 head of horses, 54 wagons and more than 75 men … “During the last two months, we have collected approximately 10,000 loads of garbage and rubbish. We are making the garbage pay by extracting grease and other byproducts from it … Why should we not make this profit for the municipality?” After all, who can argue with treasure from trash?

Co-chair: House and Garden Academy Tour preview tickets going fast Torah students among best By JAYME DETWEILER

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Word is getting around that the preview event for the Bexley House and Garden Tour is the place to be, according to Nancy Zantello, ticket chair for the event. Zantello, who is also co-chair of sponsorship, said that although ticket sales for the regular House and Garden Tour on Sunday, June 12, are about the same as last year, 268 tickets have been sold for the preview event held on Saturday. “We are ahead of ourselves in what we have done in the past,” Zantello said. The preview tour starts at 4 p.m. Visitors can get a sneak peek at some of Bexley’s “most beautiful homes and gardens,” according to Mary Acree, publicity cochair. Most homeowners will share glimpses of their homes during the preview event that will not be available on the Sunday tour. Following the preview tour, there will be a celebration from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Columbus

School for Girls. The $50 preview ticket price includes musical entertainment and food. A cash bar will be available. Zantello said individual sponsors for the event have doubled and corporate sponsors have increased by about one-third. She said she is amazed that tickets have sold so well for the preview event, especially in the current economy. “Last year was so bad for people,” Zantello said. Next year she is expecting even more corporate sponsors to be on board. “We are already getting a good response for next year,” she said Tickets for the Bexley House and Garden Tour can still be purchased online at www.bexleywomen.org for $15 or at Graeter’s Ice Cream, She, and Radio Cafe in Bexley. Same-day tickets are $20 and can be purchased at Columbus School for Girls. The event is run by the Bexley Women’s Club. All proceeds benefit the club’s scholarship fund.

“The last five days are where we really pick up,” Zantello said. “People are waiting on the weather.” She and her fellow chairs of the event are hoping they reach their goal of 1,500 tickets sold. Homes on this year’s tour include: • Ben and Jen Thompson, 2356 Sherwood Road. • John Behal and Jim Elliott, 2546 Bexley Park Road. • Jason and Anna Dunn , 320 Westland Ave. • Brandon and Nichole Fahs, 168 S. Remington Road. • Marc and Margie Hollander , 2447 Seneca Park Place. • Joe Kuspan and Dorri Steinhoff, 2115 Clifton Ave. • Kevin and Julie Larrimer, 415 N. Drexel Ave. (garden only). • Rich and Kimarie Martin, 187 S. Cassingham Road. • Mike Gritzmacher and Ron Negron, 390 S. Parkview Ave. • 445 N. Parkview Ave., Garden of Distinction. • Ed and Sheila Straub, 176 S. Stanwood (garden only).

Compressed natural gas

Ground broken on station Mayor Michael B. Coleman was joined last week by Councilmember Priscilla R. Tyson, representatives of Clintonvillebased Clean Fuels Ohio and Columbia Gas of Ohio to break ground on the city’s first compressed natural gas station. It will be, according to the mayor’s spokesman, “the largest fast-fill station of its kind in Ohio and likely in the Midwest.” It is being built at 4211 Groves Road on the South Side and is expected to be open this fall. “This is more than just a fueling station,” Coleman said in a statement. “This marks a moment in history as we transition to a diversified and cleaner fuel for our fleet and our community.” Columbus expects to eliminate about 40,000 gallons of diesel fuel a year, saving approximately $60,000 to $90,000 in fuel costs, the announcement stated. CNG is averaging $1.50 per

gas gallon equivalent compared with more than $4 a gallon of diesel. In addition, CNG reduces carbon emissions by as much as 90 percent. The initial infusion of 24 CNG vehicles for the city will reduce emissions as much as if 96 cars were taken off the road annually. “Columbus is committed to being a regional and national leader in the clean fuel movement,” Tyson, chairwoman of the finance committee, was quoted as saying. The project was supported through a grant Clean Fuels Ohio received from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2009. The total cost of the CNG station is $4.2 million, with $1.1 million coming from the Department of Energy. “While the station is for use by the city of Columbus fleet, it will also be open to area fleets and the general public,” the announcement stated. “We’re excited for the station

to open later this fall,” Clean Fuels Ohio executive director Sam Spofforth said in the statement. “With the rise in diesel and gasoline prices we have seen an increased interest from fleets to convert to CNG. This station will offer businesses, governments and individual motorists in our area another option and help the city save thousands of dollars each year.” This green fleet initiative is part of the Ohio Advanced Transportation Partnership that includes 27 partners across the state led by Clean Fuels Ohio. In total, Clean Fuels Ohio received $11 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Cities Program for its partners. Clean Fuels Ohio is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the use of cleaner domestic fuels and efficient vehicles to the transportation industry, government, and the general public.

Education

Four students from Columbus Torah Academy ranked in the top 1 percent of more than 200,000 students who competed in the National Physics Bowl held by the American Association of Physics Teachers, according to information released by the school. A total of 13 AP physics students from Colum-

bus Torah Academy competed in the event, scoring an average of 18.6 points — 1.2 points above the national team average. The CTA students who students scored in the top 1 percent in the nation were Joey Cassell and Emily Chase, who each scored a 24, and Ayelet Wenger and Keenan Sobol both of who scored a 23. CTA’s team placed in the top 10 nationally among schools with fewer than 100 high school students.

The Book Loft looks to attract wordsmiths with poetry club By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Roger Tompkins wants to give central Ohioans a place to foster interest in poetry. The co-owner of The Book Loft in German Village is helping to form a poetry club for people of all interest and skill levels. “I think every poet wants to do better and people who haven’t published anything want to be discovered and be known to somebody besides themselves,” he said. “And maybe the way to do it is through the people who have the same desire.” Tompkins said he and many of his customers were vexed by the lack of poetry clubs in Columbus. “We’re just trying to find out now who all is interested,” he

said. The public is invited to attend the next meeting on the subject, slated for 3 p.m. Saturday, June 18, at the bookstore, 631 S. Third St. Tompkins said he hopes to have the club functional by this fall. Tompkins said he wants to keep things informal. Writers would share and discuss their works with their contemporaries and have their poetry critiqued by their peers. “We decided to make this thing a fun thing,” he said. “We’re kind of opening the door to make this possible. We’re not going to charge. The membership is going to be open and free.” Tompkins also has a personal interest: He’s a poet, too. “I just wanted to do it because I like books, I like reading and

I like poetry,” he said. Steve Abbott, a professor of English at Columbus State Community College and a poetrybook editor, said he is supportive of the Book Loft’s goal of establishing a poetry club. “There are very few, so clearly th ere’s a need for it,” he said. Abbott, who is part of a formal poetry workshop at the local Pudding House Publications, said there is benefit to a club that offers serious appraisals of work, not just affirmation. Likewise, emerging poets must be able to accept criticism if they want to improve, he said. “That’s the problem: You sometimes get a self-help approach to poetry,” said Abbot, who edited the 2008 “Cap City Poets,” an anthology compiling the work of 74 central Ohio poets, and two chat books.

Burford, Kusma presented Friends of Education Award Craig Burford and Michele Kusma were honored May 25 with the Friends of Education Award at the Bexley Education Appreciation Banquet held at Capital University. The award was presented by Bexley School Board president Joan Fishel and board member Susan Zanner. The award is given annually to a non-educator who has demonstrated extraordinary dedication and service to the Bexley schools. The pair was recognized, in part, for their leadership of the successful 2010 school levy campaign. According to their nominators, Burford and Kusma’s hard work will enable the Bexley schools to weather difficult times in better shape than many other districts. Burford, whose four children have attended Bexley schools, has also served on the district’s Financial Task Force and was a shaper of the school income tax levy campaign. Burford was honored for being “able to hear, accept and appreciate different points of view while working to unite them in support of the school.” Kusma not only worked on the levy campaign, she has also

that he’s able to do what he does for a living. No, literally. Aside from his catchy nickname (more on that later) and one-of-a-kind licks and riffs, doing back flips and other stage gymnastics is what Shorty’s known for. Shorty started doing the flips when he was in his teens, encouraged by one of his mentors, Guitar Slim, to add some showmanship to his performances. That was in the 1950s. He’ll still do a flip today at age 71. “I just like to have myself some fun,” he told The Beat. “But you can’t get too excited, and you have to do it in time, in rhythm. If the band is going crazy and they don’t know what’s coming, well, one time I ended up with my right arm in a sling.” Shorty tells the story of his influence on a young Jimi Hendrix (Shorty would befriend and later marry Jimi’s half-sister), of whom Shorty said, “Jimi would go AWOL from his Army base to catch my local shows. He told me the reason he started setting his guitar on fire was because he couldn’t do the back flips like I did. “I’m up there to entertain and make the fans happy,” Shorty told The Beat. Born David Kearney in Houston, Texas, and raised by his grandmother in Kissimmee, Fla., Shorty attempted to follow in his uncle’s footsteps as a guitar player. As a 6-year-old, Shorty said, he would sneak into his uncle’s room once he’d gone to work and try to play the guitar, until one day he’d just about given up. “I was kicking it and slamming the strings. I told my grandmother ‘I hate that guitar,’” he said. “My grandmother asked my uncle, ‘Will you teach that boy to play

guitar before I kill him?’” Long hours on his uncle’s knee gave way to a gig with a local band — but being a kid in a band full of adults also meant he was the shortest member of the band. A club owner laid the moniker Guitar Shorty on him then, and it stuck. His reputation was growing as well, and he caught the ear of blues master Willie Dixon and that of Ray Charles, who hired him and with whom he spent a year on the road, still in his teens. In the 1950s and ’60s, Shorty toured and recorded the occasional single. He moved to the Los Angeles area in the ’70s, and played gigs with every blues star, including B.B. King, Johnny Copeland and T-Bone Walker. But it wasn’t until the ’90s that he began a serious recording career. His new CD, Bare Knuckles,

is his seventh — third for Alligator Records. “I still enjoy what I’m doing,” he said. “I’m thankful every day for the gift to be able to do this.” Shorty admitted that most of his trademark licks are recorded live rather than rehearsed. Still, the studio is no substitute for the stage. “Stuff just comes to me while I’m playing. The same song tonight and tomorrow night is not going to sound the same,” he explained. “If you do the same thing over and over, it’s like eating the same food all the time — it gets stale. “If you can’t be creative, you’re wasting your time. That’s what music’s all about.” ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Guitar Shorty, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com/blogs.

STATE CHAMPIONS

Bexley’s Myers runs to 400 title By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After the preliminaries of the 400 meters in the Division II state track and field meet June 3 at Ohio State, Bexley High School senior Charlotte Myers seemed exasperated at the prospect of again competing against Hartley senior Aisha Cavin. “It’s hard on me,” said Myers, who finished second to the Hawks sprinter in the district and regional meets. “My dream was always to win the state championship, but I’ve been going against a girl who would probably finish in the top five in the nation. She pushes everyone.” On June 4, in the final race of her prep career, Myers’ dream came true. She ran the 400 in 55.87 seconds to win the state title, holding off Defiance freshman Samantha Murray (56.21). Cavin, who was the 2010 state champion in the 400, finished ninth (1:03.36). Myers, who placed fourth in the race last year, said she was helped by having the 400 as her only event in the finals. Cavin had anchored Hartley’s 800 relay to a state title and placed third in the 100 before competing in the 400. “I think it was the combination of it being my only race and having fresh legs,” said Myers, Bexley’s first state champion since 1996. “I was focused for just that event.” The girls tied Dayton Dun-

bar, Defiance and St. Clairsville for 18th (12 points) behind champion Hartley (47), while the boys team tied eight teams for 53rd (4) behind champion Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary (51). The state meet was the fourth for Myers and teammates Abby Fagin and Kendra Wilson, but this year was different for the three. Myers chose not to compete

in the long jump, an event in which she finished sixth as a junior and fifth as a sophomore. After qualifying in the past in the 1,600 relay, Fagin, Wilson, Myers and classmate Elisa Mathews didn’t make it out of regional in the event. However, Wilson, Myers and Fagin teamed with freshman Regan Detwiler to place seventh in the 3,200 relay (9:27.86).

Even though it was in a different event, Fagin was content with a third consecutive podium finish. The top eight in each event at state reach the podium. “Seventh place wasn’t what we were shooting for, but we will take it,” Fagin said. “We came in here seeded fifth and our hope was to finish in the top four, but we’re really happy because we dropped three sec-

onds from our previous best at regionals.” Bexley’s 1,600 relay of Fagin, Wilson, Myers and Mathews was seventh at state last year and sixth at state in 2009. In 2008, the 1,600 relay of Myers, then-junior Ida Adugna, Wilson and Fagin qualified for state but failed to make the final. “We’re so used to coming to (the first day of the meet on Fri-

day) and just trying to qualify for Saturday,” Wilson said. “At first I thought it would be a little less nerve-wracking because we just had to come out and run today. As the day went on, I got a little more and more nervous.” Detwiler said running with the three seniors was thrilling. “It was very surreal. I am so See LIONS, page B2

Hartley girls capture Division II team title By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

During the running finals of the Division II state track and field meet June 4 at Ohio State, the Hartley High School girls team had some of its competitors wear a limited number of white uniforms while a few had to settle for red and blue. It was about the only disunity the Hawks showed all day. Hartley, which had eight runners spread among three relays and five individual events, used its depth to win its second state championship in three seasons. The Hawks won just two events but still scored 47 points to finish well ahead of a field that included runner-up Toledo Rogers (30), Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary (28), Peninsula Woodridge (26) and Eastmoor Academy (20). While winning a share of the 2009 title with Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy, Hartley scored 55 points. The Hawks finished with 71 points at state last year but settled for a runnerup finish behind Cleveland Collinwood (77). “Things were not as easy as they have been in the past,” coach Richard Jones said. “We bend but we don’t break. We did realize that we didn’t have to win as

many events as we did last year to wrack up the points. We had depth and we scored in more events than the other teams. “You always want your seniors’ last experience at Bishop Hartley or here at Ohio State to be a good one. We knew the plan in terms of the point spread. The (400 relay) was a very good surprise.” Shining brightest for the Hawks were their relays. The 800-meter relay of seniors Aisha Cavin, Maya Pedersen and Chelsea Scott and freshman Najah Greer won in 1 minute, 40.72 seconds. Then in the meet’s final race, the same foursome won the 1,600 relay in 3:50.13. In between, the 400 relay of junior Destany Martin, sophomore Nala Key and freshmen Deja Martin and Greer took third (49.3). “It’s really exciting to see the crowd cheering for us,” said Destany Martin, who along with some of her teammates had portions of hair dyed blonde the night before the final. Individually, the Hawks had a few anxious moments to overcome. Cavin entered state as the defending champion in the 400 but had just the ninth-best preliminary time June 3 and finished last (63.36) in the final. The See HAWKS, page B2

St. Charles Roundup

Quinn, 3,200 relay fare well at state By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

St. Charles Preparatory School senior Chris Quinn came away with two medals and two program records in his first trip to the Division I state track and field meet at Ohio State. Quinn joined teammates Stevyn Spees, Will Herriman and Colin Merill to finish second in the 3,200-meter relay on June 3 in a program-record 7 minutes, 47.53 seconds. A day later, he was last entering the third lap of the four-lap 1,600 but finished third in a program-record 4:15.91. “I think running (the 3,200 relay) on (June 3) really helped,” Quinn said. “I was really nervous and seeing the crowd here I thought it would be terrible if I tripped and fell in front of thousands of people. But we did well (on the first day of state), so that helped to clear my mind.” In the 3,200 relay, Spees put his team in first with a strong opening leg. “We came in thinking we had a good shot at finishing in the first three (places),” said. “When Stevyn came around after the first lap in (1:51), we were all jumping up and down.” Coach Al Hostetler said Spees’ performance was more remarkable because he had suffered an allergic reaction to pollen a day earlier. “We were practicing at (Columbus School for Girls) the day before (state on

June 2) and there was a lot of pollen there. Stevyn had a reaction and got hives,” Hostetler said of Spees, who also finished 11th in the 400 (49.5). “Allergies can do a lot of things and we were afraid his legs might lock up (at state), so we got him some (allergy medicine), gave him a lot of water and got him into air conditioning. He did what he needed to do to get ready to compete.” Herriman tried to keep pace on the second leg.

“I was pretty pumped,” he said. “I liked being ahead because we are usually in second. I felt free when I got the baton and it felt good in the first 100 (meters) and then I hit a wall in the final 100 (meters).” Merill took the baton from Herriman with the goal of a quick start. “The first 50 meters of a race is free energy. You have to get out fast and then get into a glide stride and pace yourself until the very end,” said Merill, who will

the pace increased earlier than expected. “We knew (Brandon) Kidder (of Lancaster) and (Chadd) Kiggins (of Dayton Carroll) were going to run a (lap in) 66 (seconds), but we thought that it would be the third lap,” Hostetler said. “They did it the second lap and the race got fast quicker than we expected. But Chris stayed with his plan and that’s why he fell to 16th because the other runners tried to keep pace (with Kidder and Kiggins) and didn’t have as much near the end of the race.” Quinn believes maturity was the key to his success in the race. “When I dropped from fourth or fifth to last, that can be tough mentally,” he said. “If that would have happened during my junior or sophomore seasons, that would have mentally destroyed me. “I think I just ran a pretty even race and that’s what helped me. I dropped to 16th on the third lap, but I didn’t let that scare me. When I had 500 meters to go, I knew I had to give it all that I had.” Hostetler said Quinn finishes strong, which will help him as a preferred walkon this fall at Notre Dame. “Chris has a gift of being able to run as fast as he needs to in his last lap and he ran a 62,” Quinn said. “He has run a 59 in his final lap, so we knew he was able to do that.”

We had an 8:04 last year and didn’t think we could get close to the (program) record.” St. Charles tied Beechcroft and Copley for 13th (14 points) behind champion Cincinnati LaSalle (36) as 78 teams scored. shennen@thisweeknews.com In the 1,600, Quinn kept his cool when www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Helping compensate for Cavin’s finish in the 400 was that Pedersen, who has signed with Dayton, finished third (56.84) in the race. “(Winning the team title is) a relief, but I’m kind of sad it’s over,” Cavin said. “My biggest problem was battling my thoughts. I just had too much anxiety, and the time in between each race does that, too. Maya getting third (in the 400) was good. It was a whole collective team effort.” “It’s pretty rewarding,” Pedersen said. “I definitely think we deserved it with all of the hard work we’ve done. It was definitely harder after losing Chesna (Sykes to graduation). I thought we did a good job of substituting people in this year.” Also contributing individually was Scott, a Pittsburgh signee.

excited to be running with such great athletes on our team and from around the state,” Detwiler said. “The seniors have been very welcoming to me.” Detwiler wasn’t the only newcomer at state. The 400 relay, which featured first-time state qualifiers in senior T.T. Siler, junior Emily Winnegard and sophomore Eva Jerkins, along with Myers, placed 14th (50.43). Siler, who missed qualifying for state by one spot in 2009 when she finished fifth in the 400 relay at regional, was glad she got to run at Ohio State. “This was a chance of a lifetime,” Siler said. “It was just amazing to finally make it.” •The boys 800 relay of senior Elijah Scott, junior D.J. Jones, freshman Rasheed Morgan and junior Jalen Robinette had a goal for the Division II state meet: break the school record or qualify for the final. The foursome broke a 42year-old school record in the preliminaries June 3, running 1:29.81 to finish sixth and qualify for the June 4 final. They placed fifth (1:30.16) in the final to become the first Lions athletes to score at state since 2007. The relay also was Bexley’s first boys state qualifier since 2008 and the first sprint relay to make it since 2007. “We were close to the school record early in the season,” Jones said. “We came into the meet (thinking) we’d be happy if we got the school record or made it into the finals. We ended up doing both.” Scott said all the little things that the Lions had been focusing on worked at state. “Our handoffs were good,” Scott said. “Coming into the state meet, we stressed getting the handoffs and making sure they were on point. After we qualified (June 3), we were happy but we weren’t satisfied.

Chatas learns from being in box in 1,600 meters By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

CSG’s Sophie Chatas competes in the 1,600 meters during the Division III state meet June 4 at Ohio State. She finished 11th.

Although it was her third time competing in a state meet, there was a new kind of learning curve for Columbus School for Girls junior Sophie Chatas to overcome June 4 at Ohio State. Competing in the 1,600 meters in the Division II state track and field meet for the first time, Chatas found herself boxed in more than she had expected. She began to make her move during the final lap but was too far back to make it into the top eight — and onto the podium — and had to settle for 11th (5 minutes, 22.15 seconds). Peninsula Woodridge’s Morgan Willis was first in 5:01.25. “It’s hard for me because this is my first year running the (1,600),” Chatas said. “I haven’t had that kind of a race before. It’s a hot day and I don’t have the most experience running this race yet. At district and regional I was out in front the whole race.” As a freshman, Chatas finished

eighth (2:18.91) in the 800 in the Division III state meet. After slipping to 13th at regional in the 800 last season, Chatas began finding more success with longer distances this year. She made it to state in cross country last fall, finishing 107th (20:54.7). “I was (at state) my freshman year and it’s good to be back here,” Chatas said. “It’s always really exciting, and it’s just great to see all of the best runners in Ohio.” “She got boxed in a few times,” coach Lori Baldwin said. “It was a very good experience for her since this is her first year running the (1,600). She’s not had that kind of competition and now she knows how to run against that.” Chatas won the 1,600 (5:19.98) in the CCL meet on May 14 as the Unicorns finished second (114 points) behind Hartley (141) and ahead of Ready (94), DeSales (76) and Watterson (65). Chatas then won a district title in the 1,600 (5:14.2) on May 21 at Hamilton Township as CSG placed third (56.5) behind Hartley (111)

and Granville (93.5). She also helped the 3,200 relay (9:57.35) and 1,600 relay (4:04.98) each take second at district. In the regional May 28 at Dayton Welcome Stadium, Chatas ran on the sixth-place 3,200 relay (9:54.04) with seniors Enri Small and Laura Staravecka and freshman Emma Harris and on the sixth-place 1,600 relay (4:04.11) with Small, Harris and junior Rosie Connor. She was third in the 1,600 (5:13.72) to advance to state. Also at regional, the 800 relay of seniors Imani Caldwell, Veronica Vargo and Small and freshman Mo Ruff was seventh (1:47.41), Harris was ninth in the 800 (2:22.15) and senior Jennifer DeLong took eighth in the discus (106 feet, 2 inches). CSG finished 16th (15) at regional as Hartley (82) won the title. In addition to Chatas, Connor, Harris and Ruff, the Unicorns should return a strong group of athletes.
