Bryden Road home demolition

Special meeting slated for BZA appeal

By JEFF DONAHUE

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

While Bexley City Council members voted 60 to overturn a Board of ZoningAppeals decision and permit the demolition of a Bryden Road home, the final chapter in the contro versy has yet to be written.

City council will hold a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, for the formal presentation of the decision on the BZA demolition appeal.

“At that time, I will present written findings of

facts and conclusions of law,” city attorney Lou Chodosh said. “I do not plan to make it a detailed document. The purpose is to give anyone who wishes to appeal a ‘clock’ for the appeal period.

“The city will notify the attorneys who were present last week (July 26),and the neighbors within 125 feet of the property. As it is a public meeting, people will be able to speak. However, I will review this with the president of council to determine exact procedures.”

In the wake of the city council decision, three city officials have submitted their resignations.

Planning commission member John Reagan was the most recent to resign, citing council’s reversal of the BZA decision. BZA members had voted 5-2 to deny the permit to demolish,but council voted 6-0 on July 26 to reverse that decision on appeal by applicant Moshe Frank.

City council members did not explain their positions following the vote. Chodosh said he ordered council members not to discuss the case with anyone because of possible future litigation.

Committee focused on Alum Creek Corridor

Turf at BHS stadium to be replaced

When Bexley’s Land Use Strategy Commission issued its recommendations, one of the key suggestions was to create a park along Alum Creek between Main Street and Livingston Avenue.

Bexley High School’s football stadium will get a facelift at the end of the 2011 season when the 10-year-old artificial turf is removed and replaced with a similar “next generation” product.

“The turf project will begin Oct. 31, after the fall sports season is o ver,” Superintendent Michael Johnson said. “The district is removing the old turf,regrading the field and adding new turf on top. Basically, the turf is the same type of turf installed 10 years ago, just a new generation.”

Johnson said the project is expected to be completed by Jan. 1.

The district began soliciting bids for the project in March,advertising and posting the bid solicitation on the district website.

There was a meeting on March 10 to go over rules and regulations; only companies attending the meeting were allowed to bid.

Bids were opened on April 4.

Two companies bid on the turf replacement project, with a $90,000 dif ference between them. Former school district operations director Barry Zwick had recommended the lower of the two bids.

Johnson said the low bidder, Motz Group, also had the most

Capital University will welcome the class of 2015 this month with the traditional processional down Main Street as students prepare for the start of fall semester.

On Aug. 25, hundreds of incoming freshman will move into university residence halls and mark the start of their undergraduate studies with a processional along Main Street from Pleasant Ridge Avenue, ending as the y pass through the campus’ Memorial Gateway.

Faculty and staff will accompany the students in the traditional walk, which begins at 3 p.m. and is not repeated again until graduation.

Upperclassmen will move in throughout the weekend, and classes start on Aug. 29.

Enrollment won’t be finalized until later in the fall, but Capital expects a freshman class of at least 650 students, said Nichole Johnson, the university’s director of communications.

Fresh off the district’s strongest state report card performance in four years, staff and students return to Bexley City Schools this month, where changes await them.

While some staff members have moved around and schedules have been adjusted, the focus remains on performance. The Ohio Department of Education preliminary report card released in June indicates Bexley Schools will retain their “Excellent with Distinction” rating thanks to the district’s highest overall performance index score in four years.

“We will gain about 1,600 minutes in instructional time for each subject over the course of the year,” said BMS assistant

principal Jason Caudill, noting that students need the time as Ohio’s new content standards have become more rigorous. The majority of middle school students will also gain a study hall during school every other day.

Three administrators hired in the spring have already started their new jobs in the school system. Jeannine Hetzler, who has been with Bexley Schools for 20 years,became Cassingham Elementary School’s principal effective Aug. 1. This summer John Eikenberry joined the central office staff as business office manager and Laura Lipsett took over as district curriculum director.

James M.L. Ferber, managing shareholder of Littler Mendelson’s Columbus office since 2000 and co-chair of the firm’s Traditional Labor Practice Group, died July 31.

A long-time Bexley resident and distinguished attorney, Ferber was regularly listed in The Best Lawyers of America, The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers, and Ohio Super Lawyers. He was also a Fellow of the prominent College of Labor and Employment Lawyers.

Ferber represented national and local employers in various industries, ranging from small businesses to Fortune 100 companies. He was involved in more than 100 union organizing campaigns, multiple labor arbitration

cases and collective bargaining negotiations and defended almost 300 employment lawsuits in more than 50 federal and state courts.

A recognized authority in his field, Ferber taught labor and employment law in Japan as an adjunct professor of Capital University School of Law and formerly served as the Special Labor Counsel to the Mayor of Columbus.

Prior to entering private practice, Ferber was a trial attorney with the National Labor Relations Board. He attended Temple University School of Law and earned his undergraduate degree at Pennsylvania State University.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our great friend and

colleague,” said Marko Mrkonich, president and managing director of the firm. “During his time at Littler, Jim was a positive force and made such a difference to our firm. His enthusiasm, charisma, and passion for life were felt and admired by everyone around him. We will never forget his contributions and Jim’s legacy will live on through the team he created in the Columbus office and his impact on the entire firm and the community at large.”

Ferber is survived by his wife of 41 years, Gail, and their three children. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital or Zusman Community Hospital in his memory.

The Capital Crusaders football team will kick off the new season on a new field, with the home opener on Sept. 17 against Wilmington.

Bernlohr Stadium is the only Division III school to play on the artificial turf product, called FieldTurf Revolution, Johnson said.

The school is also replacing the stadium track and widening the lanes.

Homecoming will be held Oct. 7-9, with the football game in Bernlohr Stadium against Ohio Northern University.

construction timetable because it works best for the district’s schedule and several companies stated that there is no detriment to installing turf in the winter,” he said.

Continued from page A1 mains hopeful that board members and city officials will be able to find common ground.

“I have continued a dialogue with a few councilmen in an effort see if we can find common ground to help the city move forward in a more civil/respectful manner,” Lewis said. “The hope is that the disrespectful conduct of city officials and council members doesn’t force valued BZA/ARB and planning commission members, who volunteer their time, to resign out of personal and professional self-respect.”

Frank said renovating the home at 2325 Bryden Road would create a substantial economic hardship. He said it would cost as much as $800,000 to save the structure and that he could demolish it and build a new home on the site for approximately $600,000. He also argued that the home had no architectural, historical or social significance.

Neighbors opposed to the demolition of the home argued that the house was worth preserving and fit in better with existing homes in the neighborhood than the new construction Frank has planned for the site.

Neighbors opposed to the demolition of the home have not announced if they intend to appeal city council’s decision. www.ThisWeekNews.com

CORRIDOR Continued from page A1 really excited about the possibilities here.”

Kessler said the fact that the city already owns much of the land along the creek is a plus.

“One of the great advantages for this project starting out is that the city already owns most of the creek frontage in this area,” he said. “Also, there are park improvements from Schneider Park south to Livingston, so we can build off of the existing ownership and infrastructure to create something really special in south Bexley.”

Kessler noted that the park could complement and tie into the bike trail on the Columbus side of the creek, yet offer something more than just a trail.

“Kayak/canoe launches are a possibility to tie into the Jef frey Park grounds farther north up the creek, and the committee has discussed other programming options such as playground and/or exercise equipment, sand volleyball courts, and other recreational possibilities,” he said.

Kessler stressed that the all-volunteer committee of community members is at the beginning of the planning process and there will be opportunity for community input.

“We’re still at the early stages of planning and envisioning, and the committee is in the process of building a timeline,” he said. “I

would imagine that a public meeting will be held sooner rather than later to give the public some more information about what is broadly being discussed and to solicit ideas and feedback regarding the concept of a Bexley Alum Creek park.”

Among the puzzle pieces yet to be assembled is how to finance the improvements.

“Funding is a big question mark, given the state of the city’s finances, so we will be looking closely at what sort of grants are available through the state of Ohio, as well as other nonprofit organizations, in order to fund the park improvements,” he said.

Bexley Economic Development Director Bruce Langner said improvements to the Alum Creek Corridor will improve Bexley’s already substantial property values.

“Providing more recreational opportunities in the south end of Bexley, along the Alum Creek corridor, is something that, like in any neighborhood, will enhance property values and make the area more attractive to prospective residents,” Langner said. “ From an economic development standpoint, it is critical for a landlocked city to maintain a stable population and stable housing values.”

Commentary & opinion Letter

Recent leadership rift ‘deeply regretful’ To the editor: The work done by residents who volunteer their time on the board of zoning appeals,planning commission, recreation board, tree and public gardens commission, civil service commission,technology commission, and all of the other boards, commissions, and committees of the city of Bexley is nothing less than stellar.

Residents give a lot of time, passion and careful consideration to the work they do for the city, and without their daily contribution Bexley would be a mere shadow of what it is today.

It is deeply regretful that the recent hearing regarding the Bryden Road demolition has caused a rift among city leadership. Regretful because all of the members of all of our boards and of city council have one very unifying motivation in common: we are all,at our very core, 100 percent committed to the prosperity of Bexley.

While we do not always agree on the best way to protect, preserve, and enhance the city of Be xley, we are all driven to do just that.

I’ve been thinking a lot about ho w we can prevent an issue like this from dividing city leadership

in the future. The answer is certainly not to seek greater homogeneity among council and board members. And it’s naive to think that there won’t be divergence in the future as we continue to w ork for the good of the city. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t take a close look at the language and intent of our city code in order to ensure that the law is perfectly clear on controversial issues such as this one.

I think we owe it to everyone to make sure that we learn from what happened, and honestly work toward the betterment of the system and,by extension, the betterment of the city and its residents.

I have a great deal of respect forTom Lewis, Joe Kuspan and John Reagan. I value their professional expertise and their integrity. They are my friends, my neighbors, and an integral part of our wonderful community. I hear what they are telling me — and all of us on council — with their resignation.

And I want us to improve the system so that their message does not need to be broadcast again.

Ben Kessler Bexley City Council member

As it were

Artists bring their talent to Ohio’s ‘infant’ capital Perhaps because Columbus is the state capital, it should not be surprising that there would be a couple of artists practicing their trade in the early history of the town.

Established as a created capital city in 1812, Columbus was somewhat isolated in its early years. The village was overshadowed by frontier Franklinton across the Scioto during the W ar of ED 1812. ColumLENTZ bus only had a few hundred residents when President James Monroe whipped through in 1817 and dubbed it an “infant city.”

When English immigrant William Bambrough arrived in town from England in 1819 at the age of 27, most of the streets were still simple dirt paths. The only substantial structures in town were the buildings on Statehouse Square and the rather formidable prison where the Cultural Arts Center is today. Still, Bambrough, an accomplished sketch artist, thought there might be a future for him in the new town.

As things turned out, he was right — but just barely. A lover of nature, Bambrough bought a house lot “out in the country” near the corner of Long and High streets and, in due course, planted an elaborate flower garden around his cottage. A naturalist at heart,Bambrough made the acquaintance of John James Audubon and accompanied him on several field trips through the South between 1824 and 1832.

Returning to Columbus, he lived modestly until his death in 1860.

His most commonly observed work in Columbus was a fulllength portrait of George Washington.

By the time he died, Bambrough had seen the arrival of a canal and railroads, and the growth of the town to more than 18,000 people.

He had also seen the emergence of several competitors. Some of the competition came from the new art of photography. Faster and simpler than portrait painting,the first daguerreotype studio was opened in Columbus in 1840.

By 1842, there were several “Daguerrean Artistes” operating in Columbus. But for many people, only a formal “sitting” for one’s portrait would do.

To meet the need for such portraits, the family of John Macey Walcutt rose to the challenge.

Walcutt came to Columb us early in its history. A carpenter and cabinetmaker by trade, he bought a lot at the southwest corner of Town and High streets and opened a shop in his front room.

Wandering across the ri ver to Franklinton, Walcutt met and married Mariel Broderick, a daughter of one of the earliest settlers in the area. Over the next couple of decades, the Walcutts had no fewer than 17 children. Twelve of them lived to maturity and three of the sons of John and Mariel Walcutt would become well-known American artists, even though none of

them had much formal training until they were adults.

George Walcutt painted portraits and landscapes and assisted in his father’s chair business. He raised a company of soldiers to fight in the Mexican War. Noted for his historical knowledge, he once won a medal in a statewide history contest in Cincinnati.

His brother, David Walcutt, was primarily a portrait painter, and many of his portraits of Ohio’s governors are still hanging in the Statehouse. David Walcutt later went into partnership with Cincinnati sculptor Thomas Jones for a time, and then went on to open a portrait studio in St. Louis.

Probably the best-known of the Walcutt artists was the older brother of George and David. William Walcutt was born in Columbus in 1819. Specializing in portrait painting, he acquired a reputation that brought him work from eastern cities as well as the rest of the state of Ohio. In middle age, he traveled to Europe and studied with some of the best French painters of the mid-19th century. In time, he would become the first American to be awarded a medal by the French Academy.

Returning to America, William Walcutt spent most of his later career as a sculptor. Some of his more memorable works included the Perry monument in Cleveland and the statue of Dr. Samuel Smith that stood for many years at the corner of Broad and High streets.

As more artists came to Columbus, the Walcutt family competed by opening one of the first art galleries in the city on the site of their f ather’s carpentry shop.

Branching out from there, the family later expanded the gallery to include other exhibits and opened a Dime Museum.

The museum included all sorts

of examples of taxidermy, souvenirs and mementos from famous and infamous people, and paintings and sculpture from the prolific Walcutt family.

Unable to compete against the formidable Walcutts, John Henry Witt carved out a niche of his own.

Born in Wayne County in 1840, Witt trained as an artist in Cincinnati and came to Columbus in 1862, during the American Civil War. After buying a home on Franklin Avenue near Washington Boulevard, he began to paint portraits of prominent military and political figures. Handsome and socially adept,Witt soon was painting governors and generals until he left Columbus in 1878 for New York and Washington.

One of the people Witt left behind in Columbus was his pupil, Silas Martin. Born in Columbus in 1841, Martin grew up in Westerville and studied art with the wife of the president of Otterbein College. She later would become a pupil of his.

Martin came to Columbus, studied with Witt and turned to portrait painting. He painted a number of prominent people, including Gov. William McKinley. Later, he turned his attention to landscapes.

In 1889, Silas Martin became head of the art department at Ohio State University, serving until his death in 1906. By that time, Columbus boasted well-established art schools, a Gallery of Fine Arts and a whole new generation of Columbus artists.

Many of them, like George Bellows and Alice Schille, would set new standards for a new century.

But that is another story for another day.

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio

It was time to return to Return to Miles was all about crossing boundaries. This 5 Forever. wasn’t just ‘jazz’ music, to a traditional ap-

By Jim Fischer

The Columbus Jazz Or-

1 chestra wraps up its sixth sea-

son of JazZoo concerts at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Friday, Aug. 12, with “Elvis, The Beatles & Beyond.”

These pillars of rock n’ roll were greatly influenced by jazz and the blues, plus the CJO should have some killer arrangements lined up for this show. Joining in on the fun are guitarist Dan Faehnle of Pink Martini and Diana Krall fame and singer Jonathan Elliott of the Columbus band, The Floorwalkers.

Tickets are $27-$15 and include Zoo admission. Call (614) 724-3485 or call the Jazz Arts Group about table reservations at (614) 294-5200.

Tommy & the High Pilots

Salsamante Dance Academy, who will offer a demonstration and group lesson at 3:45 p.m. Sunday. (If he can teach The Beat to salsa, he can teach you.)

Admission is free. Visit www.FestivalLatino.net.

3 Tommy & the High Pilots evoke the spirit of the history of American rock n’roll songwriting, drawing inspiration from any number of that canon’s royalty — Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Buckley, Jackson Browne, Buddy Holly, Lindsey Buckingham, all lend a flavor to the young SoCal quartet’s musical recipe of alternately rollicking and melancholy rock n’ roll.

Tommy and The High Pilots,with openers Stamps and Heypenny, will play The Basement Sunday,Aug. 14.

Tickets are $7/$9. Call 1-800-7453000.

Festival Latino, now in its 16th year, returns to the downtown Columbus riverfront Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 13-14.

The Beat is, of course, most concerned with the music,which is going to be fun. Headliners include 24 Horas (Saturday) and Tito Rojas with the Sammy DeLeon Orchestra (Sunday). A host of local and regional acts rounds out the bill.

Originally, the band’s name Art, food and culture — plenty of 4 was Alice Cooper, but eventudance — are also featured. Special attention should be paid to “Salsa ally, the puppet master of ’70s metal King of Ohio”Carlos Rubio and his theater of the macabre took the name for himself.

In an interview with The Beat some years back, the middle-aged rocker was fully at ease referring to Alice Cooper as a separate entity from himself, a caricature both 24 Horas

fully embodied and fully transparent.

Cooper still brings it heavy, and has a brand-new, not-yet-released album due out Sept. 13 —Welcome 2 My Nightmar e — to pro ve it.

He will play Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Wednesday, Aug. 17. Tickets are $27/$30. Call 1-800-745-3000.

BONUS: More than 300 young singers will participate in the 17th annual Harmony Camp sponsored by the Singing Buckeyes Barbershop Chorus Aug. 10-13.

The camp culminates with a public performance by the men’s and w omen’s choruses from among the attendees, both separate and combined,as well as by the host Singing Buckeyes. Other performers include Columbus Sweet Adelines Chorus, 2008 international champion quartet OC Times, 2010 Sweet Adelines international champion quartet Maxx Factor and a special appearance by the reigning international collegiate quartet champion Prestige, a group formed while its members were student singers attending the camp and continues now at Bowling Green State University.

Tickets for the concert are $25/$20. Call (614) 459-0400.

Chile Verde Café serves familiar fare with a special twist There’s a combo platter of reasons why El Cheapo, order-bynumbers, Mexican-ish restaurants are plentiful and popular in Columbus.

Let’s face it: Dining at these generally fun margarita-hustling and “enchirito”-slinging casas is like party-crashing your way into an instant fiesta.

Then dig into free chips and salsa; they’ll practically arrive at your table simultaneously with you.

First of all, rather than risibly making bogus claims of Mexican authenticity, Chile Verde wears its gringo-ness on its salsa-splattered sleeves. See, this non-chain joint goes its own southwestern way, whipping up familiar yet distinct (and quite spic y) food it proudly refers to as “the cuisine of New Mexico.” So expect the usual taco, enchilada and chile relleno-type fare to be served with a special twist, and expect a few unexpected dishes, too.

Here, you can make neat sauceand-meat combinations like shredded beef with the killer chile verde or mushroom merlot sauces; chunky chicken with a zingy chile rojo (spicy roasted red chiles enriched with chicken stock) or salsalike ranchero sauces.

Ordering the Combo Plato dinner affords tons of mix-and-match options (three mains, two sides for $13). You could choose a very good chile relleno properly leavened with egg whites to go with a masa-intense tamale and a meaty fajita taco. As for sides,I’d avoid the boring rice and go with the hearty, dip-like black beans and unusual, dense skin-on smashed potatoes with a hint of cinnamon.

Policy banning children uinder 6 not embraced locally A Pittsburgh-area restaurateur’s decision to ban children younger than 6 has drawn varied reactions from local restaurateurs and diners.

Mike Vuick instituted the mandate last month at his restaurant, McDains Restaurant & Golf Center in sub urban Monroeville, saying it was not a place for young kids. He said he was also tired of fighting with parents who couldn’t control their young ones.

But many central Ohio restaurant owners don’t seem likely to embrace that edict any time soon.

David Mor, owner of Oli ve Tree Mediterranean Café in Hilliard, said chil-

dren come with the territory.

“That’s my biggest joy — kids at this age starting healthy eating habits,” he said. “A lot of parents, they don’t want kids eating ketchup and fries. Those young working couples, where can they go?”

Carla Piolata said very few families bring young children to her restaurant, Cibo, an upscale Italian restaurant in Upper Arlington.

“But the ones we get, they are treated very well,” she said.

Still, both restaurateurs acknowledge that unruly behavior will not be tolerated.

“We expect the parents to control their

kids,” Mor said. “My concern is it’ s not only unf air to the other diners but it’s a liability issue.”

Even the tony Refectory on the Northwest Side has experienced its occasional brush with out-of-control children, owner Kamal Boulos said. That presents a dicey situation for restaurant managers.

“If the parents aren’t sensitive to the actions of their children, there’s really no easy way or gracious way you can help them to see that without offending them,” he said.

Reached last week by phone, Vuick said the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Lately, emails have been 20-1 in favor of the policy, he said. Patrons have been relaying their own stories about unruly conduct by children and lack of discipline from parents.

“There’s a lot of frustration and disgust out there toward this kind of behavior,” he said.

He said he didn’t do it for the publicity. But patrons have come from as far as Columbus and Cleveland to show their support.

“I thought this would pass,” he said.

“I was wrong.”

Since the policy was instituted July 16, receipts are up 20 percent, despite threats of boycotts, he said. So far, nobody has tried to challenge the policy in person, so he hasn’t had to turn anybody away.

Local diner Geoffrey Matwich, who

has a 2-year-old, said certain dining experiences are good for both parents and children, but not all venues are appropriate.

“As a parent who still enjoys going www.ThisWeekNews.com/foodandwine First Draft out to nice restaurant every once in awhile without my child,I find it not columnist Michael in the best interest of the child to put Paull recommends them in an environment where you Mad Hatter’s farmexpect them to sit and be quiet for house IPA, a truly long periods of time,” he said. “You unique drink for a wouldn’t take your child to the art long summer gallery or a symphony concert.

Michael Paull would you take them to a high-end Recipe of the week restaurant setting?”

Sue Bellan, another local diner who doesn’t have children, said she understands the struggle with the issue.

“I can certainly appreciate some of the higher-end restaurants having a policy of that nature so that they can offer a certain atmosphere in their restaurants, as that is what the majority of their clientele are paying for,” Bellan said. “However, on the flip side, if you are going to a mid-scale or family restaurant, you should expect that there will be families there with young children and not be upset with them acting up a bit,as children Chocolate torte with fresh whipped do.”

Race for postseason begins opening week

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A little more than two weeks remain before the first official snaps are taken on central Ohio high school football fields.

For traditional playoff contenders, the first regular-season game begins a journey that includes the expectation that it might take a dozen games or more before true satisfaction comes.

The teams in the middle, meanwhile, enter the season with a different kind of anxiousness.

One team from Division I, Region 3 — Lancaster — went 7-3 and failed to make the playoffs last year. There were seven other teams in the region that went 5-5 or 6-4 and had their seasons end before the postseason.

For programs such as Gahanna and Upper Arlington where long playoff runs have come in the recent past, the need to move back into the postseason race is one that can be a consuming desire.

Gahanna has missed the playoffs the past three seasons after qualifying for the postseason five of the previous

seven seasons. Upper Arlington has missed the postseason the past two years after making the playoffs nine of the previous 12 years. The Golden Bears won the Division I state title in 2000.

“Obviously, winning football teams are expected at Gahanna Lincoln,” Lions coach John Snoad said. “We’ve been a .500 team, and that’s not acceptable in our community. They understand there’s a great tradition with great playoff teams. Last year, we were literally three points away from being 7-3 and the eighth seed.

“A good team has good discipline.

The key here is if we take care of business in key plays. Those are the things that separate the fine line between being 5-5 and being 7-3 or 8-2. We have some tremendous talent, and now we have to work very hard to get strong in the weight room and get out and be disciplined.”

Others in Region 3 left on the outside a year ago when each went 6-4 were Pickerington North, Groveport, Olentangy Liberty and Mount Vernon.

One school in particular that hopes failing to make the postseason won’t

become a habit is Liberty, which had made six consecutive postseason appearances before last season.

Olentangy, Dublin Jerome, Dublin Scioto, Olentangy Orange and Watkins Memorial all were 6-4 but were left on the outside of the Division II, Region 7 playoffs a year ago.

Among the others hoping to be breakout teams this year are Granville and Licking Heights, both of which went 7-3 last year but failed to make the Division III, Region 11 playoffs.

Commentary

Athletes admire, inspired by heroes There are youngsters in central Ohio who want to develop into the athlete and person that the high school students writing in my summer series are today. These bowlers, football players, golfers, soccer players, track athletes and wrestlers are held in the highest LARRY esteem by LARSON younger athletes who know their accomplishments.

So, who are the heroes for these role models? Let’s find out.

Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “I admire (NFL quarterback) Tim Tebow because he is a Christian athlete and strong in his faith. He never let anybody tell him he couldn’t achieve what he wanted to and he worked hard to get what he wanted.”

Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “My hero is (pole vaulter) Tim Mack. I have met him a couple of times and he has been someone who I have admired for a while. I like the way he jumps and the way he teaches.”

Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “My biggest role model is my older sister, Domini. She is a great human being who has great morals and is always willing to help others and myself.

I love her so much and she has helped me get through some truly tough times.”

Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “My role model is my father because he is a very dedicated man and has always been my idol.”

Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “My hero is my father, Dave Delande. He is always there for me, gives me great advice as well as good coaching tips.”

Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “My top hero or role model is (professional bowler) Kelly Kulick because she was the first woman to win the USBC Tournament of Champions.”

Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “My best hero? This year I don’t have a best. So many people have been the light when I needed one with encouragement and support.

They all are like family in shining armor.”

Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “My hero is God. It is sacrifice and love for others that can be translated into the love you must have for your teammates and the selflessness you must have on the field.”

Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “My grandparents are my heroes. They have always supported me in golf and in life and I have

Avery made third-team all-state his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. He became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 points, finishing with 1,131 career points.

Perhaps his greatest feat at state occurred in 1998, as he lived up to his own high expectations in many aspects, winning the long jump (23 feet, 1 inch) on the first day of competition and coming back on day two with titles in the 110-meter hurdles (13.95 seconds) and 300 hurdles (37.1). He also placed seventh in the 200. The three titles he won that weekend gave North 30 points and a cochampionship in Division I with Brunswick.

Canal Winchester to leave MSL for OCC in ’13

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Canal Winchester High School is expected to be approved as a new member of the Ohio Capital Conference when the Executive Committee of Principals meets on Sept. 19.

Canal Winchester would replace Watkins Memorial in the 32-team league beginning with the 2013-14 school year.

Watkins Memorial is joining the new Licking County League, which will begin operations that same school year.

“This is an exciting time for us and a big change after being a member of the See LARSON, page B2 Mid-State League since 1966,” Canal Win-

chester athletics director Kent Riggs said.

“We were comfortable and had great relationships in the MSL. “One of the biggest factors in our switch is that we are one of only two (schools) in the MSL that compete in Division I in most sports. If we’re going to compete in Division I in the postseason tournaments, it would be to our benefit to play Division I schools during the regular seasons.”

The OCC Alignment and Expansion Committee made its recommendation after researching and visiting roughly a dozen schools that filed applications.

According to OCC Commissioner Dave Cecutti, in addition to Canal Winches-

ter, among those to apply were MSL members Bexley, Grandview, Teays Valley and Whitehall, as well as Chillicothe, Marion Harding, Jonathan Alder and Logan.

“I applaud the Alignment and Expansion Committee for their work the past six to eight months, and it was a tough process,” Cecutti said. “They jumped hurdles and conducted studies to determine which school would fit best.

“When we received all those applications, it also became apparent that we should take a look at a possible fifth division within our league. We’ll continue to look at that and it might be some-

thing we need to look at again somewhere down the road.”

Canal Winchester will become the first new member of the OCC since Hilliard Bradley opened in 2008-09.

Canal Winchester offers 25 sports, one of several criteria that the OCC noted.

“There was no one factor any more important than another, but rather the totality of items that led the committee to recommend Canal Winchester,” Cecutti said. “We believe that academic integrity, competitive balance and cultural compatibility all played a factor. We looked at enrollment, population growth, See OCC, page B2

kid, but I find it hard to believe there’s too many kids tougher than him that are on the field when we’re playing.

“He never falls backward, he’s always falling forward. He gets positive yardage.”

Davidson rushed for 345 yards on 72 carries against Mentor, outmatching the Cardinals’ nohuddle offense that passed for 327 yards.

“That had to be the most ridiculous ending to a game, let alone a season, that I can remember,” said Dietz, who is entering his senior year at the U.S. Air Force Academy. “Everything fell into place.”

“It was a pretty special night for everybody in Hilliard,” White said. “It was one of those things that you never expect to happen and when it happens I don’t know if you really know how to react to it. Everybody tells you enjoy the moment, but at that time you’re so concentrated on what you’re trying to accomplish, I don’t know that you can really enjoy it. We’ve certainly looked back upon it with some fond memories since then.”

Delande, who had rushed for 1,304 and nine touchdowns as a junior at Davidson, is the oldest of three brothers who have excelled athletically for the Wildcats.

Spencer Delande was a key member of the football team when it won the 2009 state championship by defeating Cleveland Glenville 1615 in the Division I final. Chase Delande won the Division I state wrestling title at 145 pounds last March as a junior and also is a member of the football team.

With Davidson trailing 35-28 in the second overtime, Delande took the handoff from Dietz on first down at the Mentor 10-yard line and fumbled at the 6. Mentor’s Danny Kelley appeared to recover the ball at the 1, but the ball squirted loose and Davidson lineman Mike Saul recovered it at the 3.

Delande scored on the next play, making it 35-34. Then, during a pair of timeouts by the Wildcats, kicker Colby Catlett ran on and then off the field. Catlett actually was lined up for the extra-point attempt that coach Brian White later admitted would have been a fake before the second timeout was called. After the second timeout, White opted to put his offense on the field and give the ball to Delande.

“None of us coaches had any idea during the course of the game that Bo had scored one, two, three, four or five touchdowns,” White said. “It’s not like we purposely were trying to get him to score touchdowns. We were running our offense.

The thing that gets lost a little bit — and I believe Bo would be the first to admit this — is the offensive line we had that year was pretty special.”

A preferred walk-on at Ohio State in 2007 who is preparing for his senior season with the Buckeyes, Delande finished the 2006 season with a program-record 2,208 yards rushing and 23 touchdowns on 398 carries. He was named first-team all-OCC-Buckeye Division and alldistrict and special mention all-state.

“Bo has been a huge part of our offense this year,” White said during the 2006 season. “He isn’t necessarily the fastest kid on the field. He fdirenna@thisweeknews.com normally isn’t the biggest kid, isn’t the strongest www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

team format. Another option is adding at least five teams and having three divisions.

“The LCL impacted the MSL, but we know the MSL will recover and be as strong as it was before,” Riggs said. “Change is difficult, but this move should help our student-athletes. They need to be prepared for the postseason by playing bigger schools in the regular season. This is the right move at the right time. We’ll miss our old friends and rivals, but we’re hoping to keep some of them on our non-league schedules.

“It’s also an honor for us to be invited to join the OCC, which is one of the premier conferences in Ohio. It’s a tribute to our athletic programs, our school and our community.”

The reformation of the Licking County League, which disbanded in 1991, is expected to force realignment in the Mid-State League.

Also joining the league are Johnstown, Northridge and Utica from the Mid-Buckeye Conference.

Fairfield Union and Jonathan Alder moved up from Division IV to Division III, Ready and Northridge moved up to Division IV from Division V and Madison Plains switches from Division IV to Division V. Africentric dropped from Division V to Division VI. •ALREADY VERBALLY COMMITTED — The first member of the 2012 recruiting class from central Ohio to verbally commit to a Division I college was Olentangy linebacker Joshua Perry with Ohio State.

Since Perry made his commitment in June 2010, the Buckeyes have added DeSales running back Warren Ball, Pickerington Central offensive lineman Jacoby Boren, Upper Arlington wide receiver Frank Epitropolous, Lancaster linebacker Luke Roberts and Pickerington North offensive lineman Pat Elflein from central Ohio.

Other area players who have made a verbal commitment include Olentangy offensive lineman Kenton Playko (Northwestern), Jerome wide receiver Cameron Wilson (Iowa), Pickerington Central linebacker Jake Kincaid (Kent State), Pickerington Central defensive back Jason O’Bryan (Kent State), Upper Arlington offensive lineman James Henry (Toledo), Marysville tight end Craig Runyan (Toledo) and Lancaster defensive lineman Aaron Woosley (Ball State).

•NEW LEADERS — There were several coaching changes among central Ohio’s programs during the offseason, and three of them have new coaches named White.

Buddy White has taken over Reynoldsburg’s program after previously serving as an assistant with the Raiders. Last year, he was an assistant at Hartley, which won the Division IV state championship.

Trevor White is Brookhaven’s new coach. He is a former Bearcats and Marion-Franklin assistant who will try to return Brookhaven to its past success after a 5-5 season last fall.

“I was pretty familiar with a lot of the guys and we’ve been working with a lot of them since January,” Trevor White said. “It’s exciting to do football pretty soon. Everybody really wants to move forward, and I’m pretty excited for the seniors.”

The other new “White” is Westland’s Steve White, who is a former Grove City assistant.

“As a first-year coach, it’s a chance to finally get a stamp on things,” Steve White said.

“I’ve worked for three different guys and this is a chance to do some things from my own standpoint.”

Other new coaches in central Ohio include Lewis Carter at Columbus East, Shawn Hinkle at Canal Winchester, Mike LoParo at Hilliard Bradley, Tom Roberts at Northridge and Zebb Schroeder at Delaware.

Jim Collis will be coaching Columbus Academy after coach Mark Barren died June 9 following a heart attack. Collis coached the Vikings from 1996-2006, and they won the Division V state title in 2003.
