Council considers golf cart legislation and operation of golf carts upon public streets. According to the ordinance: No person shall operate a golf cart on the streets within the city of Bexley unless the golf cart has been inspected by the chief of police or his/her designee for compliance with Ohio’s statutory requirements that are applicable to motor vehicles. The owner or operator of any golf cart shall be required to pay an inspection fee of $25. If the chief of police or his designee determines that the golf cart complies with the state’s statutory requirements that are applicable to motor vehicles, the chief of police or designee shall issue the owner or operator a cer-

Bexley may not have a golf course within the city limits, but that doesn’t mean golf carts won’t soon be cruising the city’s streets. If city council approves legislation under consideration, the carts commonly spotted along fairways may be putting down Fair Avenue. City attorney Lou Chodosh is fine-tuning a draft ordinance that would permit the operation of golf carts on city streets. The ordinance was scheduled for a second reading July 26, after ThisWeek’s press deadline, and is expected to be approved on third reading when city coun-

The chief of police or designee must also see proof of liability insurance for the golf cart before a certificate of compliance is used. No golf carts shall be permitted to travel on any city street where the speed limit is greater than 25 mph. Golf carts will be permitted to cross intersections with higher speeds, so long as they continue upon a street having a speed lime of 25 mph or less. No person shall operate a golf cart on a public sidewalk or other leisure path. The operator of a golf cart on the streets and alleys of Bexley shall be re-

Council begins annual August recess
By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Jeffrey L. McClelland, the current president of Bexley City Council, has announced he will not seek re-election in November. McClelland was elected to his seat on city council in November 2007. He has served as council president since January 2010. He did not say why he has chosen not to run in the No- Jeff vember elec- McClelland tion. McClelland, 65, of Brentwood Road, has been a Bexley resident since 1976. He graduated from Bexley High School and Miami University, and received his law degree from the Ohio State University College of Law. He is a self-employed attorney in private practice. Four city council seats are up for election in November. McClelland and council member Jed Morison have chosen not to seek re-election. The current field of declared candidates includes incumbents Ben Kessler and Mark Masser and challengers Steven Keyes, Tim Madison and Jan Zupnick. Candidates have until 4 p.m., Aug. 10 to file petitions with the Franklin County Board of Elections to qualify for the November ballot.
quired to follow all traffic regulations. Violating the ordinance is a minor misdemeanor on a first offense; on a second offense within one year after the first offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree; and each subsequent offense within one year after the first offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree. Bexley Chief of Police Larry Rinehart said anyone who wants to operate a USV (under speed vehicle) or golf cart on city streets must also have a valid Ohio driver’s license. In order to pass the vehicle inspection, Rinehart said golf carts must:

Following an unusually busy summer session, Bexley City Council has begun its annual August recess. During the first seven months of 2011, discussions about how to deal with state budget reductions and a projected city budget deficit dominated council activity. During that time, Mayor John Brennan announced he was fighting pancreatic cancer; veteran council member Jed Morison said he would not seek re-election in November; incumbents Ben Kessler and Mark Masser announced their candidacies; and challengers Steven Keyes, Tim Madison and Jan Zupnick tossed their hats into the ring. Jeff McClelland has decided not to run for re-election. After months of discussion and deliberation, council members agreed to place an issue on the ballot in November increasing the city income tax from 2 to 2.5 percent. McClelland said the August recess comes at a good time. “Bexley City Council’s August vacation is provided for in our charter,” McClelland said. “I think it recognizes that council people have families, go on vacations, etc. It also gives us a chance to sort of catch our breaths, clear our minds and refresh. “This year in particular has been a very busy year,” he said, “and we have been dealing with a lot of important and high-visibility issues. A little break will do us all good.” Masser said that council frequently has found See RECESS, page A2
Franklin Park officials: Greenhouse will save time, money Community celebration planned Aug. 8 to commemorate first phase of master plan By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Franklin Park Conservatory’s support greenhouse, the crowning piece of a three-project capital campaign, opened over the weekend. Officials say the 9,300-square-foot facility will provide much-needed efficiency for the conservatory, which formerly had to move plants off-site throughout the year, costing staff time and money for rental space. The greenhouse will become the botanical warehouse and growing facility for plants used in several conservatory exhibitions and displays, such as bonsai plants, orchids, poinsettias for the Christmas season and plants that
provide fruit nectar for the Blooms & Butterflies exhibit held from March through September. Located between the picnic shelter and the community gardens, the $1.3million greenhouse has several “green” features: permeable pavers, a retractable roof that allows for natural ventilation and rain barrels that will catch runoff precipitation. A blackout room will use insulating curtains to artificially shorten the day to simulate the light and dark schedules of specific varieties of plants. Moveable plant tables will be more flexible, freeing up more space. The building, however, is not open to the general public. Bruce Harkey, executive director of the conservatory, sees a lot of potential
with the addition of the greenhouse. “Having new facilities creates new opportunities at the conservatory,” he said. Conservatory officials also realize the possible need for additional greenhouse space. “I think it meets our needs right now but in a few years, we’ll need more,” said Garry Clarke, director of planning. The greenhouse opening marks the completion of the $23-million capital program at the conservatory, which included two 5,000-square-foot additions to the John F. Wolfe Palm House and the community-gardening campus. The campaign and the projects were part of

July 23 downpour ADDITION Bexley art specialist featured floods streets, in Ohio Art League show basements Continued from page A1
By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Aside from some soggy basements and standing water here and there, life returned to normal in the Bexley area Sunday night following a late-afternoon, earlyevening thunderstorm that overwhelmed storm sewers. “Like all surrounding communities, we had some street flooding and some basement flooding,” Bexley service director Bill Harvey said. “ Our service department worked with police to identify areas of concern. “As is normal during situations like this, I was in ongoing communication with the mayor and the police dispatcher to monitor the situation,” Harvey said. “Short-
ly after the rain stopped, street flooding subsided. We also had some tree damage, but nothing significant.” Harvey said Bexley crews were out Monday checking sewer lines for any problems. “Our tree crews are also inspecting for any downed trees or branches,” he said. As much as four inches of rainfall reportedly fell during the storm. Heavy street flooding was reported along Alum Creek Drive south of East Main Street and at low-lying locations along Livingston Avenue such as the Livingston-Kenwick intersection near the South Bexley-Berwick border. Some vehicles were temporarily caught in the flash-flooding, but no injuries were reported.
RECESS Continued from page A1 the need to schedule a special meeting or two during the August recess. “Every year, city council takes the month of August off and almost every year, something comes up that needs our immediate attention, so we hold special meetings in August,” Masser said. “This year seems no different. Many people vacation in Bexley and it seems to be a quiet and peaceful time for council members to be with their families and relax and recharge their batteries for the coming year.” Masser said council will have a full agenda when it reconvenes on Sept. 13. “This year when we come back from our scheduled break, planning for the future tax levy and issues dealing with safety around Montrose school will be my top priorities,” he said. “We will be holding a special safety meeting at 5 p.m. before our council meeting on Sept. 13 to discuss the safety concerns at Montrose school.
We will also continue to prioritize and fine-tune our current budget.” Finance and judiciary committee chairman Ben Kessler said he likes the idea of an August recess. “August recess is a good time to refocus council’s energy on what initiatives we should be focusing on going forward,” Kessler said. “ For me, it gives my family some weeks that are less interrupted by evening meetings — something to look forward to and enjoy.” He said he is already thinking about the 2012 budget. “When we reconvene in September, my committee’s focus will primarily be on reviewing and working on the 2012 budget, and ensuring that we are setting aside proper reserves to better position ourselves for the loss of the estate tax in 2013,” he said. “I’ll also continue to be focused on helping progress the work of the Alum Creek Corridor Committee, advocating for the creation of a unified zoning district on North Cassady, and helping work on the Main Street streetscape plan.” www.ThisWeekNews.com
the first phase of a master plan to upgrade the conservatory. To celebrate, conservatory officials have planned a community gala. The gala will begin on the Grand Mallway at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 8, a symbolic date for the conservatory because it marks the dedication of the first project — the Palm House additions — on Aug. 8, 2008. Highlights of the celebration include a picnic, in which participants are encouraged to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages, children’s activities and the release of monarch butterflies. The ProMusica Chamber Orchestra will perform at 8:30 p.m. At dusk, James Turrell’s light installation, featuring thousands of LED lights and computer technology, will illuminate the Palm House. Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the evening. The conservatory planned a total of three capital campaigns to fund the three-phase master plan. The second campaign is now in the planning stages. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

During the tiger training session you will see how our Keepers use the tiger’s favorite food, meatballs, to reward the tiger for a job well done. The tigers are trained to do some of the same things you would train your own pets to do such as standing up, sitting down, rolling over and showing their paws. The tigers are eager to learn and their activities allow the Keeper to see any health problems.
• Family Overnights • Twilight Tours • Guided Walking Tours (Daily) • Behind the Scene Tours (Daily)
If you can’t make it to our Keeper Talk don’t worry because seeing the tigers in their habitat is fun too. Tigers love the water and during the summer can be seen playing in their pools and streams.

Staff changes announced The staff at Bexley High School will shift around a bit this coming fall, with Neal Tomich, who formerly taught in the English Department, taking the place of retiring library aide Vikki Almos. Assuming Tomich’s position will be Jamie Hayes, who had a one-year appointment at BHS last year when her name was still Jamie Tominack. She was married this summer in Hilton Head, S.C. This is Hayes’ tenth year in education, having spent five at Newark High School, two in Reynoldsburg and one year at West High School in Columbus before arriving in Bexley in 2010 on a one-year appointment. She earned a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s in English education, both from Ohio State University. “I am very excited that it worked out that I can stay at Bexley,” she said. With the summer winding down, Hayes said she is participating in some professional development. She is continuing her work as part of an argument-writing study being conducted by George Newell of Ohio State Universi-
ty’s College of Education and Human Ecology. Newell teaches courses on the teaching of writing and literature and focuses his research on written composition. This week, Hayes is analyzing data with Newell’s colleague, Alan Hirvela, who observed in her classroom last year and will continue observations in the coming school year. Hayes is also looking forward to an Advanced Placement conference that she will attend at Northwestern University Aug. 1-5. “Even though I am not currently teaching AP, this experience will help me prepare my students in regular and honors English classes to take AP English their junior and senior years and for me to help all of my students become better readers and writers,” she said. “Because Bexley has a focus on AP, I want to gain more experience in this area.” Since Bexley High School adopted AP as its educational best practice in 2003, the number of students participating in the college preparatory courses has steadily increased, as has the number of students scoring a “3” or above on the AP exams at the end of the courses.
Bexley teachers participate in CMA Creativity Institute Six Bexley City School District faculty members participated in the 2011-12 Columbus Museum of Art’s Teaching for Creativity Institute. They are Nate Maier from Bexley Middle School; Viki Rogers and Becky Liefeld from Montrose Elementary; Jeanette Kuder and Stacy Bell from Cassingham Elementary; and Susan Walker, school district occupational therapist. The teachers were “part of a
select cohort of educators from across central Ohio who have demonstrated commitment to fostering creativity” in their students, classrooms, and schools, according to Jessimi Jones, the museum’s Educator for Teacher and School Partnerships. The institute met July 18-21, with three Saturday sessions planned that will occur during the next school year. The teachers receive graduate credits from Ashland University for their work

with the institute. According to Jones, the teachers involved in the Institute “believe that creativity is essential to education and want to incorporate it into (their) classroom experiences.” They become part of a community of learners who develop creative, engaging learning experiences for their students and receive training and support from Columbus Museum of art staff and educational experts, she said.

And he wants to play the old songs. “Our newest thing, to us, is always the most urgent,” the bassist for the Goo Goo Dolls told The Beat. “We’ve started playing Sweetest Lie (first track on the band’s latest CD, Something for the Rest of Us) during our ‘charge up songs’ to open the set. A lot of times, people don’t know those songs as well, because we also use some early songs in there, too.” Turns out he wants to play all the songs. “When we get to Slide, it’s often the first song people know really well,” he said. “And if you don’t play Black Goo Goo Dolls Balloon or Iris, someone’s going to be upset, and we don’t want that to Goo Goo Dolls, with openers Michelle Branch happen.

Milestone 229: Come for the views, stay for the food The food could have totally been beside the point at Milestone 229. Born lucky in an expensively rehabbed neighborhood loaded with stunning things to gawk at, Milestone could have skated by on its good looks and its eye-candy setting: the people magnet that is the impressive new Scioto Mile development. Speaking of Scioto Mile, on one side of Milestone is a showpiece waterpark where highly stimulated kids run wildly through elaborately alternating spurts of water and adults stare in wonder. At night, the modern, sculptural, halo-like fountains ethereally produce fog, become a thrilling and hypnotic light show and are sometimes the watery screen for filmic projections. On the opposite side of Milestone are the most spectacular vistas of downtown Columbus visible from any eatery. Really, to sit on Milestone’s big, looping one-of-a-kind patio is to realize how sexy our city can be.
MENU by G. A. BENTON Cleverly, this restaurant — which is run by the Columbus Brewing Company folks — is constructed along swooping arcs that echo those halo-form fountains. Elliptical, expansive and roomy, Milestone 229 is a neat-looking, modernist metal-and-glass building. And its patio has clearly upped the ante on scenic outdoor eating in central Ohio. But Milestone is not just another pretty face. Because though its mob-attracting location would’ve ensured a captive audience even if it served awful food, Milestone’s gone the extra … er, mile and hired a real chef (Rigsby’s veteran Christian Hattemer) who’s fashioned an allAmerican, local- and fine-ingredientsourcing menu. While Milestone’s food is hardly daring, it is carefully prepared,

scratch-made stuff that aims for, and consistently hits, the familiar-disheswith-chef’s-flourishes target. The house cocktails ($9) follow a similar trajectory. Made with very good ingredients, none I tried were stinkers, but my favorite has been the perfectly named seasonal cooler called Summer Splash (Watershed gin, muddled cu-
cumber and fresh lime in refreshing harmony). Appetizers are presented with fun and verve. They range from a heavy but pleasing Skillet Mac ‘n Cheese ($7.25, huge, with a lively cheese blend, smoky bacon and toasted panko breadcrumbs served in a black skillet) to the mandatory Calamari (wittily spilling out of a Chinese takeout container) to a mayorich and abundantly red-peppered Pimento Cheese dip ($7.25) to a neat medley called Wine Quartet ($10.50, salty olives, seasoned nuts, a decent beet and orange salad, and the upstaging star of a salmon mousse). There are also handmade, hearty and rustic pizzas on thick, crispy crusts (like a salty and pungent gorgonzola and roasted mushroom, $12.50). Entree salads were solid, too, like the Wild Alaskan Salmon ($13.50), with wasabi peas, a gingery dressing and a thick miso/peanuttype sauce. Entree-wise, I tried a perfectly cooked,

OK steak (Grilled Barrel Cut Sirloin, $22) with a suave hoochy sauce, topnotch green beans plus a nifty multiplepotato hash, and a fresh-tasting and attractively plated Potato Crusted Great Lakes Walleye ($22) with a golden crispy spud shell, asparagus and creamed corn sauce. While both were good, Milestone’s giant sandwiches (all about $10) were equally satisfying, yet a lot cheaper — and they arrive with nice, crisp fries, either vinegar-tinged or of the sweet potato variety. My favorite sandwich was the standout, banh-mi-accented Tempura Battered fish. Also easily gulpable were the Three Little Pigs Porkout and a heavily herbed homemade bratwurst burger. Inevitable ending: Milestone 229 — come for the views, stay for the food.
Independent yogurt shop gives fresh spin to frozen confection Fans of a hot trend, Joey Chong and her family decided to play it cool. Not an easy thing to do in 90degree weather. Devotees of frozen yogurt, they wanted to open a store but were unimpressed with the inflexibility of national chains. So they went out on their own. On Saturday, on yet another sweltering day in central Ohio, they opened Matcha in the restaurant-diverse Bethel Centre. The independent store plays to the desires of the customer, Chong said. “I have been helping my fam-
ily and relatives with their restaurant business for many years and now I get to try a different food,” she said. “It’s dessert. When the idea of opening a frozen-yogurt store came up from the family, I was very excited because I already had frozen yogurt a few times in the East Coast and loved it so much.” Matcha, a type of Japanese green tea, offers 10 flavors a day, from the traditional — vanilla and chocolate — to the more exotic — pomegranate-raspberry, mango and, of course, matcha. The plan is to rotate the flavors

often to see what customers favor, she said. Comment cards will be provided at the store. Matcha is self-serve. Customers are given a 16-ounce cup and can fill it with as many flavors and toppings as they desire. The price is 44 cents an ounce. The real gems, she said, are the toppings, which total more than 40. Again, there are the typical options, such as nuts, granola and M&Ms, plus others that are more likely to be found in a bubble-tea store, including coconut jellies, mochi (ice cream wrapped in a soft, thin Japanese rice cake), sweetened red and green beans and popping boba (tapioca pearls filled with fruit juice). Fruit will always be fresh, never mushy, she promised. “When I travel, I always look for something different or try some local restaurants,” she said. “We will keep searching around for more unique foods and toppings to serve with yogurt.” Matcha is among a new wave of frozen-yogurt purveyors in central Ohio, which includes Orange Leaf, Red Mango, Josie’s and Cuzzins. Dean Small, founder and managing partner Synergy Restaurant Consultants near San Diego,
said the resurgence of frozen yogurt can be attributed to a couple of factors. For starters, it is perceived as a healthier option than ice cream. Also, people tend to migrate toward indulgences in a bad economy. “Comfort food always plays well,” he said. Small likes the build-your-own option being offered by Matcha and other frozen-yogurt places. “You’re putting the onus on them to create their own little masterpiece,” he said. Still, he sees a danger in oversaturation and lack of creativity from some frozen-yogurt vendors. “Some of them just aren’t that innovative,” he said. “I still think that frozen yogurt is very popular,” he added. “I don’t see it going away any time soon.” Matcha seats 20 in 1,500 square feet of space at 1462 Bethel Road. It is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (614) 564-9154. Element Pizza is slated to open Aug. 1.

Football
Teams get ready for start of practice By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The wait is nearly over for high school football players and coaches. It started with the sometimes monotonous days of weight-room work, which began for many the moment last season ended. The past few weeks have included activities such as team camps and 7on-7 passing tournaments, with a few glimpses of the playbook thrown in. Beginning Monday, Aug. 1, it final-
ly will start to feel like football again. For Grove City coach Matt Jordan, that first day of official coaching allowed by the OHSAA provides an enjoyable opportunity to see his players bond. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s a chance for relationships between some players and coaches to get a fresh start. “You no longer get any excuses from anybody,” Jordan said, laughing. “Seriously, it’s fun to finally get to put the pads on. You’ve been in the weight room since December, so it’s fun watch-
ing everyone run around in helmets. You know it’s football season, and there’s this wonderful excitement in the air. There’s something about that adrenaline that comes.” According to the OHSAA, the dates teams are allowed to scrimmage this year are Aug. 9-20. Although games can be played as early as Aug. 22, most teams start their season Aug. 26 or 27. Many teams in central Ohio won’t have their first scrimmage until Aug. 12, which means they have 11 days to put plays in motion before their first
contact against another team. Putting in drills over the first couple days of practice can be an important exercise in setting the pace for the coming months as well as in preparing for scrimmages. “You try to establish everyday types of drills and try to mix them up,” Jordan said. “We do certain things day one, certain things day two and get a rotation going. You’re always evaluating talent and you definitely want to laterally be going forward to see who looks good.
“In football, you already have a pretty good idea who your guys are Aug. 1, so you’re also looking at team cohesiveness. Do you have some leaders who are ready to step up? You start initially with your base offense and base defense in the early days and then do repeat and review to make sure you haven’t moved too fast. When you get to pads, it all changes.” Teams from the City League sometimes have obstacles, particularly early See FOOTBALL, page B3
Commentary
Respect essential to prep athletes Bad news often takes precedence over good news when it comes to stories about athletes. Most athletes perform well at their jobs and conduct their lives in a respectful way, but poor decisions often lead to headlines. This week, the high school stuLARRY dent-athletes LARSON writing in my summer series discuss how they view two elements of the positive side of sports — sportsmanship and respect. Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I always try to be as positive as possible and I always remember that I do this sport because I love it and not as if it is my job.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “I view respect and sportsmanship as a bigger part of the game than talent. You don’t have to be a friend with everyone, but it is important to get along with everyone.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Respect and good sportsmanship are necessities come game time. Whether it was something in your day that upset you or things just aren’t going the way you want them to, no one likes to feel disrespected. Sometimes it’s going to be about someone else’s day, so smile and congratulate them as they would congratulate you.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “Respect in competition is vital. When you are big enough to respect your opponents, you respect yourself and your teammates that much more.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Respect and sportsmanship are always very valued traits to have as an athlete. In order to respect the game, you must respect your competitors in that game.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “I will make it real simple — respect all, fear none.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “In high school

Kingfish again win Tri-County title By TREY SMITH ThisWeek Community Newspapers
For the seventh consecutive summer, the Tri-County Aquatics League championship meet ended with the Chevington Woods Kingfish swimming team coming out on top. The boys and girls teams of Chevington Woods combined to score 850.5 points and finish well ahead of the second-place Huntington Hills Froggers (531) in the 12-team meet on July 21 in Canal Winchester. “I thought we swam really well. It was a hot day, so we had to hydrate and get over that,” said first-year Chevington Woods coach Kevin Yates. “We put in a lot of hard work on basically the fundamentals, and I think it paid off for us. All the kids stepped up. The great thing about the Tri-County league is everyone swims, and it’s such a competitive meet.” The Kingfish won 34 of 77 events held during the meet, which began at 8 a.m. and concluded just before 9 p.m. on a day when the heat index was almost 110 degrees. “It’s amazing. To be on the team for 12 years, it kind of finally hit me that it was over,” said Pickerington North graduate Morgan Grodesky, who competed for the Kingfish. “It was nice to see the little kids improve and everyone was cheering and everyone was excited.” See LARSON, page B3 On the girls side, Chevington Woods

accumulated 431.5 points. The Groveport Fighting Fish (358) were second. Grodesky, who will attend Florida Atlantic on a partial swimming scholarship, participated in the first-place 200meter medley relay (2 minutes, 13.24 seconds), won the 50 freestyle (29.09), finished second in the 100 freestyle (1:07.51) and helped Chevington Woods win the 200 free relay (1:59.74).
In the 200 free relay, Grodesky, Katey Fisher, Kelly Mason and Taylor Shotwell finished just short of the meet record of 1:57.27. The Huntington Hills girls finished third (268), followed by the Valley View Gators (161), Bexley Marlins (137), Baltimore Sea Lions (127.5), Canal Winchester (84.5), Pickerington Tiger Sharks (73), Pataskala Area Swim Team (47.5), Spring
Valley Stingrays (45), Moundbuilders Country Club (35) and Lancaster Country Club (8). On the boys side, Chevington Woods topped runner-up Huntington Hills 419263. “It was great because the former coaches did such a great job that I was able to just step right in and put in what I believe was important, and it seemed to really pay off today,” said Yates, who took over the program from Seth Bower. “It’s a great team, a very supportive team, and I am happy to see all of them be successful and have a great meet.” Finishing third on the boys side was Valley View (248) followed by Groveport (148), Pickerington (140), Baltimore (120), Pataskala (105), Moundbuilders (96), Lancaster (93), Bexley (70), Spring Valley (45) and Canal Winchester (21). The second-place battle between Huntington Hills and Valley View was close throughout the meet. Huntington Hills received a strong performance from Andrew Martin, who captured first place in the 100 individual medley (1:05.91) and the 100 free (56.91). Martin also was part of the 200 free relay that won in 1:43.9. Also on that relay were Jacob Griffith, Adam Ingram and Joshua Cohen. “All of our kids all the way around

Greg Avery (5) of Newark begins to celebrate in the final seconds of the Wildcats’ 65-52 victory over Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game on March 15, 2008. Avery dominated the game, scoring 33 points and adding 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead Newark.
Top Individual Performances: No. 3
Avery’s heroics led Newark to state title By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Greg Avery of the Newark High School boys basketball team couldn’t have been more excited for the spotlight of the Division I state championship game March 15, 2008, against Lakewood St. Edward. Even now, though, he cringes at how his game started — with a pair of what he considered bad shots, the first of which resulted in a missed layup. But little else went wrong that night for Avery. The 6-foot-3 senior tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory and their first state championship since 1943 before a crowd of 12,465 at Ohio State’s Value City Arena. “My first two shots were two of the dumbest shots,” Avery said. “I wanted to get rolling, and after that I was just in the zone.” Avery made seven consecutive shots after missing his first attempt, including back-to-back baskets to open the second quarter. He hit a jumper nine seconds into the period to make it 21-14 and made his only 3-point attempt with 6 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the quarter to give the Wildcats a 24-14 lead. After Newark took a 14-point lead midway through the second period, St. Edward rallied to within six before Avery hit a jumper with 7 seconds left in the first half to make it 33-25. “I really noticed (how well he was playing) the next week watching the game and seeing some of the shots he made,” Newark coach Jeff Quackenbush said. “We ran a play for him at the end of the (first) half and he made this fade-away (jumper) from about 17 feet. You know he’s scoring and doing well, but I guess he was just in that zone and we felt really good about the shots he was taking. “He had a huge steal at the end of the third quarter and just played well the entire game. His whole game, just everything he did, he really competed well that night.” The other starters for the Wildcats — post player Dane Kopp, forward Will McCoy and guards Cody Dennison and Rahlin Watson — each played contributing roles in what became Newark’s fourth state championship. Although McCoy scored just four points, he was one of the primary reasons St. Edward’s Tom Pritchard — an Indiana University recruit — was held to nine points on 3-for-7 shooting. The Wildcats never led by fewer than five points in the second half and stretched the lead to as many as 16 in the final period. Watson, who plays for Capital University, scored 10 points. Dennison scored eight and Kopp added seven as the Wildcats finished with a 24-4 record. Avery said the standout performance of the team’s defense made it difficult for St. Edward — and Pritchard in particular — to take good shots. Dennison, who played two seasons for Nova Southeastern
Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 4-10. Check back next week for No. 2 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
NOS. 4-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more
University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and will play for Tiffin University this season, remembers talking with Avery when both were in elementary school about one day making it to the state tournament. “He pretty much did everything for us that night,” Dennison said. “We’d had the mindset to be in that situation since we were in fifth grade, and in my junior year and Greg’s senior year, we finally reached that goal. That will to win got us over the hump. “I personally tried to give him the ball all the time, and everybody fed off of him. We were all clicking. Everything he was shooting was going in.” Avery remembers fondly the scene when he and his teammates returned to Newark that night and the celebrations that followed over the coming days. It was a fitting end to a prep career in which Avery scored 1,131 points. He made thirdteam all-state and first-team alldistrict his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Avery became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 career points. “I remember driving home and the fans were waiting for us when we got back to our gym,” Avery said. “We had a ceremony and had a day named after us, ‘Newark State Championship Day.’ There was a lot of support from Newark.” Shortly after the state championship, Avery signed to play collegiately for Western Carolina. He averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 30 games, including four starts, during the 2008-09 season. After the season, he decided to transfer to the University of Findlay, a Division II school,
surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the freethrow line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 23, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. 4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 4-1 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd.
because of the coming birth of his daughter. During the 200910 season for the Oilers, Avery averaged 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 27 games, including five starts. Despite having what he deemed a successful transition early on to Findlay’s program, longtime coach Ron Niekamp, who retired earlier this year after 26 seasons, told Avery after the season that he “didn’t really fit the system,” Avery said. In search of a place to play, Avery was considering Valdosta State, a Division II school in Valdosta, Ga., when on July 26, 2010, he and two other men were accused of assaulting a man in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “They tried to hit me with a felony, but I didn’t do anything,” Avery said. “It set me back two more steps.” Avery now is a student at the Newark branch of Ohio State and working for Dennison’s father, Joe, but is hoping to play competitive basketball again soon. He is considering playing on the Division III or NAIA level, or could join a semi-pro team. Regardless of some of the ups and downs that have occurred for Avery the past threeplus years, he knows the memory of what he helped accomplish with his high school team lives on. “It’s still unbelievable,” Avery said. “I still talk to guys who played on that team regularly, and for that game I think we all just did everything to get us that ring. We didn’t let distractions get in our way. I felt like when I was starting to get hot that we were going to win the game.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

FOOTBALL Continued from page B1 on, because many of the players who come out for football as freshmen are competing in the sport on a team for the first time. For those taking over a program for the first time such as Brookhaven’s Trevor White, that factor as well as figuring out how to install a new system can make for some complicated moments of preparation even before the first day of official coaching. “Especially with a new program, a big thing early on is setting the tone,” White said. “You want to be getting everybody on the same page, and what we’ve been debating is how much of the offense and defense do we put in. Do we just throw it at them or do we take it step by step? “We’ll have some kids that played (youth) football but some who have never played the sport before. You’ve always got to walk a line of bringing kids along but not holding the veterans back, and especially with a new program, it’s important that you’re really getting to know the team. I’m really excited to learn who my team is.” One of the key aspects of the

FOOTBALL Continued from page B1 on, because many of the players who come out for football as freshmen are competing in the sport on a team for the first time. For those taking over a program for the first time such as Brookhaven’s Trevor White, that factor as well as figuring out how to install a new system can make for some complicated moments of preparation even before the first day of official coaching. “Especially with a new program, a big thing early on is setting the tone,” White said. “You want to be getting everybody on the same page, and what we’ve been debating is how much of the offense and defense do we put in. Do we just throw it at them or do we take it step by step? “We’ll have some kids that played (youth) football but some who have never played the sport before. You’ve always got to walk a line of bringing kids along but not holding the veterans back, and especially with a new program, it’s important that you’re really getting to know the team. I’m really excited to learn who my team is.” One of the key aspects of the
At a glance Below is a look at the Bexley, Hartley and St. Charles football teams entering Monday, Aug. 1’s first day of official coaching: BEXLEY •Coach: John Smith, fifth season •2010 record: 3-7 overall, 1-6 (seventh) in MSL-Ohio •Last playoff appearance: 2008, lost in Division III first round •Opener: Aug. 26 vs. Africentric •Top expected returnees: Derek Cain (RB/LB), Nick Daum (OL/DL), D.J. Jones (WR/DB), Jalen Robinette (QB/WR/DB) and Gabe Sudai (OL/DL) •Preseason outlook: With several returning seniors who gained experience a year ago at the skill positions, the Lions are looking to increase their depth on the offensive line after enduring a second consecutive 3-7 season. HARTLEY •Coach: Brad Burchfield, third season •2010 record: 13-2 overall, 1-0 (first) in CCL-Gold •Last playoff appearance: 2010, won Division IV state championship •Opener: Aug. 26 at Amanda-Clearcreek •Top expected returnees: Napoleon Bell (OL/LB), Jacob Matuska (TE/LB),
first days of official coaching, according to Olentangy Liberty coach Steve Hale, is getting players’ technical reactions back on track. “You’re working a lot on technique, stance and starts, quickness and a lot of ball skills,” Hale said. “What responsibilities do I have? There are a lot of drills where we try to put kids in situations where they can learn. I
Dominique Scott (RB/DB), JaWaun Woodley (RB/DB) and Jarrod Zang (RB/LB) •Preseason outlook: Despite graduating the state’s co-Player of the Year in Noah Key, the Hawks aren’t expecting to struggle to move the ball. But they do have some holes to fill on the offensive line and on a defense that gave up more than 20 points per game. ST. CHARLES •Coach: Jeff Pharion, third season •2010 record: 5-5 overall, 0-2 (third) in CCL-Silver •Last playoff appearance: 2010, lost in Division II first round •Opener: Aug. 26 at Canal Winchester •Top expected returnees: Garrett Cargin (WR/DB), Gunner Francis (RB), Nick Franco (OL), Phil LaFleur (LB) and Brooks Wagstaff (LB) •Preseason outlook: The Cardinals got an emotional boost a year ago when they made the playoffs for the first time since 2002. Now in Division I, St. Charles enters the preseason looking for new skill-position leaders. For preseason information on other central Ohio teams, go to ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
