School district to seek November levy Residents: Cut spending, delay ballot request until May election By CHRIS BOURNEA ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Canal Winchester Local Schools Board of Education voted unanimously Monday night to place a three-year, 13.38-mill, $5.8-million emergency levy on the November ballot. If approved, the levy would cost homeowners $410 per $100,000 of
home valuation, district treasurer Joyce Boyer said. That amount is $42 less than homeowners currently pay per month for the two-year, $6.4-million, 14.78-mill emergency levy that was approved in May 2009 and which expires in December. Voters did not renew the levy on May 3. Before approving the three-year levy for November, members considered a
second option in the form of a two-year, $4.9-million levy, but said the threeyear option would provide the district with more financial stability. “For the term of three years, it gives us more of a concrete look at the future,” board member Michael Yonnotti said. A three-year levy, rather than the twoyear option, would also enable the dis-
trict to avoid uncertainty regarding state funding in 2013, when state officials will decide the next biennium budget, board member Brian Niceswanger said. “The three-year (levy) takes us out of the state budget cycle,” he said. “If we go to the third year, state money is known.” Resident Rick Knudsen told the board that, rather than returning to the ballot,
he would like to see the district implement cost-savings measures such as making teachers pay more for health care. “In the board meetings I come to, I’m hearing none of this discussed,” Knudsen said. Resident Richard Cole also suggested See SCHOOL, page A2

Mayor Mike Ebert has chosen Reynoldsburg development director Lucas Haire to be Canal Winchester’s new development director, effective Aug. 1. Haire succeeds Chris Strayer, who stepped down in June to take a position with the Ohio Department of Development. “The development director helps the village increase its economic health by recruiting businesses to join the community,” said finance director Nanisa Osborn. “Economic health is highly important to Canal Winchester.” Strayer had been at Canal Winchester for four years, with his most recent salary at $65,000 annually. Haire’s salary will be between $61,150 and $70,000. Osborn said the city expects an economic upswing, following a difficult period nationally. “The last three years have been very difficult economically in Canal Winchester, and the state of Ohio and the nation,” she said. “I would expect the next three years will show us a cleaner,

Blues and Ribfest
Landmarks Commission
Second annual event to feature debut of South African musician
Changes suggested for historic areas
By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The second annual Canal Winchester Blues and Ribfest Aug. 5 and 6 will offer an international flair, according to festival organizer Bruce Jarvis of Main Street Canal Winchester. Opening the weekend on the Main Stage, South African bluesman Rob Thompson, will share his take on an American brand of roots music, the blues. The 23-year-old guitarist and singer-songwriter from Port Elizabeth, South Africa, will be backed up by Ray Fuller’s Bluesrockers. “We’ve deliberately put strong acts all the way through from beginning to end,” Jarvis said. “To that end, (Thompson) is opening up for us; I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to have someone from this far away again – and this is his U.S. debut – so we’ve got a really unique act.” Jarvis said the Main Stage will be placed at the intersection of High and Waterloo streets to take advantage of the acoustics and to provide better viewing throughout the festival and room for people to dance. “We’ve expanded the footprint of this year’s Blues and Ribfest to allow for more food, fun and relaxation,” he said. “These changes should reduce lines at our rib and other vendors, offer more convenient dining spaces and provide a better space for children and adult activities.

Once they do, we think they’ll come back.” Another new component this year gives other community organizations a chance to benefit from providing volunteers. According to Jarvis, groups
The Canal Winchester Landmarks Commission agreed unanimously Monday night to recommend changing the name of the city’s preservation area to a preservation district in order to match the terminology used for the historic district. Members also agreed to recommend amendments to the Old Town overlay and amendments that would create two separate documents outlining preservation area guidelines and historic area guidelines, instead of the current mixed document. The Old Town Committee and the city’s planning and zoning commission must also approve all recommendations before they are presented to city council for final approval Currently, preservation area structure changes are reviewed by the city staff, the Old Town Committee or planning and zoning, as appropriate. If this recommendation is approved by city council, then the Landmarks Commission will review all applications for certificates of appropriateness for the preservation area. Commissioner Bruce Jarvis was the lone dissenter in the vote to move the recommendations forward. “One thing I feel very strongly about is that the preservation area was designated as a buffer for the historic district and I hope we aren’t talking about applying the (historic district) rules to a larger area,” Jarvis said.

“I may not get much time to relax during the festival, but I know everyone else will really enjoy it.” Last year’s inaugural event hosted nine rib vendors. This year’s event will have 12, according to Jarvis. He also expects this Blues and Ribfest to surpass last year’s 20,000 attendees. “People can expect more food vendors, a larger beer garden,” Jarvis said. “We’ve added dining tents with fans so people can get out of sun, and there are bounce houses, face-painting and balloon-sculpting for the kids. We’ll also have local arts and crafts vendors.” Canal Winchester community af-

School district to seek November levy Continued from page A1 strategies to cut costs, such as reducing the amount the district pays for substitute teachers and working with Gov. John Kasich’s office to reduce administrative costs associated with excessive paperwork. Cole encouraged the board to wait until May 2012 to place another levy on the ballot in order to give voters more
time to evaluate the district’s financial needs. “With a high level of unemployment and a lack of raises in the private sector, there just isn’t enough money to go around,” Cole said. Board member David Brobst said delaying the levy would cause the district to make further cuts. The district has already announced the elimination of 49 jobs, including 27 teaching posi-
tions, and has increased students’ extracurricular activity fees from $140 to $300 beginning in the 2011/12 school year. “By delaying (the levy) until May, you would have to reduce (costs) going into the 2012-13 school year because you wouldn’t collect any money until January of ’13,” whereas the district would begin collecting on the November levy in January 2012, Brobst said.
After voting to send paperwork for t he three-year levy to the county auditor’s office for certification, the board also scheduled a special meeting for at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 1, to vote on a resolution to officially proceed with placing the three-year levy on the November ballot. The board has until Aug. 10 to file the levy paperwork with the Franklin County Board of Elections.
VOTING ENDS THIS SUNDAY!
Franklin Park Conservatory
VOTE TODAY
Officials: Greenhouse will save time, money 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 $1.3-million 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,” This room, part of the new greenhouse at the Franklin Park said Garry Clarke, Conservatory, uses insulating curtains to artificially shorten director of planning. the day to simulate the light and dark schedules of specific The greenhouse varieties of plants. opening marks the completion of the $23-million capital pro- aged to bring their own food and non-algram at the conservatory, which included coholic beverages, children’s activities and two 5,000-square-foot additions to the John the release of monarch butterflies.

HAIRE Continued from page A1 clearer picture where hopefully, the recession abates and growth moves forward again. “Canal Winchester will continue to look to add new businesses and, we hope, some new manufacturing, to provide jobs to the community.” Ebert said the primary focus of development will be industrial employers.
“Our focus will be on the Canal Pointe industrial park off Diley Road,” Ebert said. “Retail and restaurants will be secondary. If we can get 150 people in one building versus 10 in a retail establishment, that is more revenue for the city and less tax burden on the residents. “We’ll always think about residents needs for retail, but the main focus will be the industrial park.”
LANDMARKS Continued from page A1 “It was intended to be a buffer from going immediately from black to white and should be more about form and function as opposed to materials. To apply the same strict criteria would be a very tough sell.” Commission member Patrick Lynch disagreed. “The preservation area isn’t just a buffer, it is our future historic area because as time goes on, the historic district will grow,” he said. “It may be 50 years from now, but if we don’t enforce the rules, then we won’t have (an expanded historic district). That is why Landmarks was created.” Jarvis said he couldn’t support the same level of rules for the preservation area that are currently in place for the historic district. City planning and zoning administrator Andrew Dutton said the recommendation does not change the requirements for the preservation area except to have the oversight done by the Landmarks Commission. “Now you’ve got a group of people specifically interested in preservation voting on certificates of appropriateness,” Lynch said. He suggested a subcommittee should complete an in-depth review outside of the scheduled public meetings to make further recommendations to the Landmarks Commission. Dutton said any votes would have to be held in a public meeting, but said he would speak with legal counsel about the ability of an informal subcommittee to meet outside of public hearings. Prior to voting on approval of the recommendations, Landmarks Commission members voted to remove the current requirement that says property owners must obtain a certificate of appropriateness when choosing what col-
ors to use on their buildings in the preservation area. Jarvis noted that he lives in the city’s preservation area and never had any idea that he was supposed to get certified when he painted the exterior of his house. The Landmarks Commission also voted unanimously to approve an application for Don Hartman Tires to use HardiePlank material to replace rotted wooden soffit at the rear of the building and unanimously approved an application for window signs for The Body Shop, a new business opening at 3 W. Waterloo St. The next Landmarks Commission meeting will be held at 7 p.m., Monday, Aug 22, in Town Hall, 10 N. High St.

Hot Air Balloon Festival
Event
Hermann family hopes event will raise funds for survivors of violence By NATE ELLIS
Memorial Fund will take place
ThisWeek Community Newspapers at the Fairfield County Airport,
An area family rocked by the murders of two family members and a friend will seek to help others who have faced violent crimes by hosting a fund-raising balloon festival next week. Last November, central Ohioans and people across the country learned of the unnerving story from Mt. Vernon, Ohio, where a 30-year-old unemployed ex-con named Matthew Hoffman killed and dismembered Tina Hermann, 32, her 11-year-old son, Kody Maynard, and Herrmann’s best friend and neighbor, 41-year-old Stephanie Sprang. He also kidnapped Hermann’s 13-year-old daughter, Sarah Maynard, sexually assaulted her and held her hostage until authorities, after days of searching, raided Hoffman’s home near downtown Mount Vernon and rescued her. Now, Sarah and her family are seeking to empower victims of violent crimes and help them in any way. On Aug. 5 and 6, the first Fairfield County Hot Air Balloon Festival to benefit the Tina Rose B. Herrmann and Kody Alexander Maynard Healing Hearts
3430 Old Columbus Road North in Carroll. It will feature balloon launches and tethered balloon rides, but the real purpose will be to remember Tina and Kody, while also raising money to help victims of violent crimes. “It will go out to honor Tina and Kody,” said Barb Hermann, Tina’s mother and Kody and Sarah’s grandmother. “Their deaths were a tragedy, but from this tragedy, we hope that we can help others. “We want to say to any victim of violence, it’s enough going through it and surviving, but there are avenues you can turn to.” On both Aug. 5 and 6, public viewing and sunrise balloon launches will be held at 6 a.m. Public viewing and sunset balloon launches also will be held both days at 6 p.m. Additionally, tethered balloon rides for the public will be held both days from 6 to 8 p.m., and a Sunset Glow Flight, where spectators can see their favorite hot air balloons illuminated in the darkness, will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. each evening. Family activities also will take place throughout the evening on both nights.
A closer look On Aug. 5 and 6, the first Fairfield County Hot Air Balloon Festival to benefit the Tina Rose B. Herrmann and Kody Alexander Maynard Healing Hearts Memorial Fund will take place at the Fairfield County Airport, 3430 Old Columbus Road North in Carroll.
Proceeds from the event will go to the memorial fund, and money from the fund will be distributed to violent crime survivors. The fund’s foundation will determine who receives financial support after reviewing individual situations, but the money can go toward anything from counseling to help with paying bills. “It’s to raise money for victims and survivors of family violence,” said Kim Donnelly, Tina Hermann’s cousin and a board member of the memorial fund foundation. “It’s really meant to help them get through a difficult time.” Tina and Kody’s family chose the Fairfield County Airport as a staging ground for balloon festival, which they intend hold an-

nually, because Tina at one time lived in Canal Winchester and attended high school in Pataskala. Many family members also live in or near Fairfield County. Tina’s uncle, Bernie Fleming, is a Pickerington resident and owner of Keller Landscape and Nursery, which is based in Carroll and has a seasonal business in Pickerington. He’s a hot-air balloon enthusiast, so the decision to include balloon rides was a no-brainer for the family. Sarah, now 14, lives in nearby Columbus with her father. “Sarah’s a real live wire, just like her mother,” Barb Hermann said. “But this is still fresh in her mind. It’s only been eight months.” In addition to encouraging people to attend the festival, organizers currently are seeking event sponsors and donations to the memorial fund. Information can be obtained online at www.tinakodyandsarah.org, or by calling 740-654-8451. “They all touched so many lives when they were alive,” Barb Hermann said. “Now, they’ll be able to touch people after they’re gone. I also want to help people because it helps me.”

As it were
McDowell led small group of volunteers at Bull Run On July 21, 1861, the Civil War began to be a very long war, indeed. And one of the major figures who helped define that day was a native of Columbus. As the commander of the Union Army of Northeastern Virginia, Gen. Irvin McDowell had spent the previous several months ED desperately tryLENTZ ing to make an army out of a horde of enthusiastic volunteers. Under tremendous pressure to defeat a rebellious South, McDowell had moved out of Washington, D. C., with his quickly trained and even more quickly equipped army to “crush the Rebels.” He almost did just that. This was not a job that Irvin McDowell really wanted. And it certainly was not the one he trained for when he left to join the army more than 30 years before. Born in Columbus in 1818, McDowell grew up in a simple New England saltbox house at the northwest corner of Front and Spring streets. At the time, the house was in the woods some distance from the center of town and nestled against the creek that passed by and gave Spring Street its name. Until 1834, one crossed the creek at High Street on a wooden bridge. Columbus was not very large when Irvin McDowell was a boy. Founded in 1812 to be the new state capital, the village only had a few hundred residents at the end of the War of 1812. Prominent among them were Abram Irvin McDowell and his wife, Eliza. Abram McDowell held a number of public offices and made a success of himself in a variety of enterprises. But the McDowells had come from the more sophisticated society of Kentucky and Virginia, and hoped that their children would also be able to rise above the frontier world of central Ohio. With that intent, they sent young Irvin off to school in Troyes, France, for several years. With Abram McDowell’s political influence, an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point was obtained for Irvin to further his education. It should be noted that the American army was quite small in these years and West Point was essentially a training ground for civil engineers. In a growing America, one could make a nice living as a civil engineer after a period of military service. On the other hand, the military itself still carried a certain social cachet, as well. Irvin McDowell chose to stay in the army. Graduating in 1838, he was posted as a second lieutenant in the artillery. After serving four years as a tactics instructor at West Point, he served on the staff of Gen. John Wool during the Mexican War and was cited for bravery at the Battle of Buena
Correction
Vista. After the Mexican War, McDowell served for a number of years as a brevet major in the adjutant general’s office. He acquired a reputation as a solid, dependable officer and an excellent military administrator. In 1861, his talents would be put to the test. The election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency in 1860 on a Republican pledge to oppose the extension of slavery to the territories had led to the attempted secession of a number of southern states over the next several months. Political and persuasive attempts to bring the rebellious South back into the Union ended with the fall of Fort Sumter at Charleston, S.C. Not recognizing the South as independent, President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers for three months to defeat “combinations too powerful to suppress” by normal means. In other words, the president hoped a citizen army could swiftly repress those rebellious southerners. The commander of America’s army was Gen. Winfield Scott, who had fought bravely in the War of 1812 and the Mexican War and had served in the army for more than 50 years. He had literally written the book that was used to train America’s soldiers. But he was also old and tired and sick and knew that he needed a younger combat commander. He hoped to get his protégé, Robert E. Lee, to take the job. But Lee returned to his native Virginia and fought for the South. At that point, Scott turned to Irvin McDowell, who had recently been promoted to brigadier general with the help of his political mentor, former Ohio governor and Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase. The response of the North to the war had been enthusiastic. More than 15,000 men arrived in Columbus to enlist in the first few days of the war. Over the next several months, the men were armed, uniformed, trained and marched away to war. By mid-July 1861, Irvin McDowell’s Army of Northeastern Virginia, including two regiments of Ohio infantry, was on the move. McDowell did not think his army was ready, and said so. But three-month enlistments were about to expire and he was under pressure from the president, the Congress and the country to defeat the rebels and be done with it. So McDowell marched his army south toward Richmond,Va. Awaiting his arrival was a Confederate Army roughly equal in size. On

Gen. Irvin McDowell
July 21, 1861, the two met near Manassas, Va., at a little stream called Bull Run. On a brutally hot day and observed by many tourists who had driven out from Washington to watch the battle, the two armies fought well — considering neither army had really been in battle before. Ultimately, the Confederates fought a better end game and the Union Army retreated in disarray. To say the least, most people in the North were shocked. A local Columbus paper recorded the scene: “An immense, surging crowd assembled in front of our office. All expected the enemy would soon be ours and the oppression and gloom of war gave way to sunshine and joy. But at noon came dispatches announcing disaster, and a most despondent gloom settled over their faces and a pall seemed to settle on their spirits. But in the evening, a feeling of determination and revengeful resistance was aroused such as words cannot describe. ‘I feel like going myself!’ was the exclamation of everyone who spoke.” Sensing that more troops might be needed, President Lincoln had called for 300,000 more men a few weeks before the battle. By early August, they were assembling at a number of encampments in and around Columbus. This war, it was now well understood, was going to last for quite some time. Irvin McDowell lost his command of the large army but acted as a division and corps commander through the rest of the conflict. In 1864, McDowell was given command of the Department of the West and served in the West for the rest of his career. He retired with the rank of major general in 1882 and died three years later. He is generally credited with the creation of the Presidio military base in San Francisco.

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 family 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.
Small likes the build-yourown 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 By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek is very popular,” he added. “I The Chong family has opened Matcha Frozen Yogurt at 1462 don’t see it going away any time Bethel Road in the Bethel Centre.

Teams preparing 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 B2
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 games, you have to remember that the guys out there on the field from the other team are just like you. Many of us get to be friends over the years. It is important to represent your school and community well on and off the field.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “Respect and sportsmanship in competition are very important. I will be the first to say that emotions, sometimes, do get the best of me during games. The important thing is to keep in mind that it is a game and it is nothing to compromise your morals over.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “It is never

Canal Winchester’s Emily Lemon competes in the girls 9-10 25-meter breaststroke during the Tri-County Aquatics League meet July 21.
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.” 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).

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, See LARSON, page B2 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 By Adam Cairns/ThisWeek and he made this fade-away (jumper) from about 17 feet.

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
AVERY Continued from page B1 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 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 pro-

They’ll try to take a step forward while learning a new system and with new players at most of their skill positions. For preseason information on other central Ohio teams, go to ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
ness 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 think it’s just a matter of being organized and knowing what schemes we have. “Obviously everybody gets a brand new start. There’s an excitement and an anticipation that you’ll have a great season. That first time on the practice field is like being reborn each year.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
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
gram 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, 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 Valdos-
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.
ta 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

SWIM Continued from page B1 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 419-263. “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
had to guess I’d say probably 70 percent of our swimmers swam best times today. So coming in second mixed with personal improvements, it is a great day for us at Huntington Hills.” Combined team scores were broken down into three divisions. Teams that finished fifth through eighth were considered Division II and ninth and lower were considered Division III. Baltimore (247.5) won the Division II title ahead of Pickerington (213) and Moundbuilders (131) won the Division III championship ahead of Lancaster (101).

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 swam fantastic races today,” Huntington Hills cocoach Rick Maddox said. “If I
