Simbro to scale back CAC activities By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When Clintonville Area Commission chairman John DeFourny announced at the July meeting that he and Nick Cipiti would be swapping leadership roles of two key committees, he left a little something out. Sandy Simbro, a fixture with the area
commission in one capacity or another for many decades, is voluntarily stepping down as co-chair of zoning and variance. She’s not taking her practically encyclopedic knowledge of city regulations and procedures to the sidelines any time soon, but instead will be looking to pass on her knowledge to others, especially District 5 representative and new zoning and variance chairman Cipiti.
“Isn’t it time?” Simbro said last week. “They say we should all be training our replacement, so I’m going, ‘As long as I’m the chairperson it’s very hard for other people to step up.’ “When you’ve done something for as long as I have, it’s second nature to me.” “It’s not a demotion,” DeFourny said, adding that Simbro has served as the sole chair of zoning and variance last
year, even though the CAC’s website states he and Simbro are the co-chairs. “Nick Cipiti is the chairperson and he has a good support group with that committee,” DeFourny said. “Sandy and I are still there and we’re involved with the mechanics of the meetings and stuff. Him moving to this committee gives him a new dynamic, gives the committee a new dynamic. It frees up Sandy in some points.
“All this, of course, was discussed with Sandy well in advance.” “It was actually John responding to a conversation I had initiated,” Simbro said. “In no way was this a vote of no confidence. This was just, ‘Hey, I need to let other people know how to do this.’” “When I talked with her, she has just See SIMBRO, page A2

Residents to seek permit parking By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Adam Cairns/ThisWeek
Northland Heating & Cooling owner William C. Tinsky has been battling with the Ohio Department of Transportation about the sound wall between his business and I-71 for the past year and a half. He paid for clear glass to be placed beside his business, but contends his sign can be seen from only a short stretch of the interstate. He also has noticed water drainage problems since the wall was put up.
Business owner trying to make some noise about sound wall By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Northland Heating and Cooling founder William J. Tinsky used to come home from his job as a chrome buffer for General Motors and, instead of resting from his labors, would do what he could to support his four children. He worked with a man who had a heating and cooling business while studying the trade in order to obtain a license of his own. Eventually, Tinsky got his license, bought a truck and, in 1966, began operating a heating and cooling business out of the garage of the family home in Forest Park. “Thus the name, Northland Heating,” said William C. Tinsky, the founder’s son and now president of the firm. About 35 years ago, William J. purchased property on Moon Road, just across Interstate 71 from Clintonville, and had a headquarters built for his growing enterprise. This included an iconic sign, identifying it as “Protech Services Northland Heating and Cooling,” with a clock that, for decades, was clearly visible to motorists on I-71. “People use that clock daily,” William C. said last week. Not so much any more. “This is a freaking nightmare,” Tinsky said. On July 7, 2006, according to Ohio Department of Transportation District 6 communications manager Nancy Burton, “property owners received notification” of a proposed project that would extend a noise wall along I-71 in front of Northland Heat-
ing and Cooling. The following March 1, again according to Burton, “notification letters” regarding public meetings on March 14 and 21 were sent out about the extension of the sound wall. Tinsky claims he never got any of them. “We’re pretty good about business and opening mail and reading it,” he said. “I don’t have any knowledge of that,” Burton said. Bill Tinsky’s “freaking nightmare” had begun. Now, drivers on I-71 can catch glimpses of the Northland Heating and Cooling sign through two clear panels in the noise wall, but the busy yard of the business is totally obscured. Tinsky said he had to pay $48,500 in order to get the clear panels installed and he’s being asked to pay an additional $25,000 to go halves on extending the number of transparent panels in the wall by an additional three feet, as is the case at Calvary Temple Lighthouse to the north. “In an effort to resolve this misunderstanding in what the noise wall was going to look like in front of Pro-
tech Northland and to provide additional visibility to the property, the Department of Transportation is willing to add additional clear panels in front of Protech Northland within the same limits of the 180-foot length,” project engineer Andrew J. Opsitnik wrote in an April 26 letter to Tinsky. “The department is willing to split the additional cost, 50-percent each party, with Protech Northland to make this change.” “I’m not going to keep having an open checkbook,” Tinsky said. Instead of ODOT spending $25,000 for its portion of more clear panels in the noise wall, Tinsky said he asked for a maximum of $12,000 to increase the height of the sign. “That was discussed with Mr. Tinsky and it was decided to go with the clear panels,” Burton said. She didn’t say who made that decision, but Tinsky says it certainly wasn’t him. In a July 5 letter to ODOT District 6, Tinsky’s attorney, Brent L. Baisden, wrote: “First, Mr. Tinsky was assured that his freeway sign would be completely visible from the freeway. It is not. Approximately two feet of the bot-
You have a hole in your house.
tom of Northland’s freeway sign is presently blocked. ODOT has refused to compensate Northland for the expense of raising its freeway sign, which would cost approximately $8,000 to $12,000. “Second, Mr. Tinsky (was) also assured that the Plexiglass wall would look just like the section of Plexiglass in front of the Lighthouse church, just north of Northland along I-71. However, Northland’s panels are not as wide, causing the pillars to be closer and reducing visibility from the highway. “In addition, the solid concrete panels are much taller,” Baisden wrote. “Northland’s lower panels are approximately 7 feet tall, while the lower panels at the Lighthouse church are approximately 3 feet. ODOT has agreed to split the cost of dividing the lower panel to increase visibility, but this is not acceptable.” “I’ve been backed into a corner here,” Tinsky said. “ODOT, in its arrogance, said, ‘Mr. Tinsky, we’re ODOT. You’re part of the right of way. We’re going to do what we want.’ “I’m trying to be calm about this.” Northland Heating and Cooling specials used to be posted on the familiar sign. “You’ve hurt my advertising,” Tinsky said. “This is my livelihood. I don’t know what it’s going to do to people doing business with us, but, ‘That’s not my problem, Mr. Tinsky.’ You get a little frustrated trying to get through the chain of command to see who might be sympathetic. It’s just frustrating that nobody cares See BUSINESS, page A4
Residents of Leland Avenue, weary of parking woes caused by an inconsiderate few customers of a bar near the end of their street, held a community meeting recently, and those in attendance voted unanimously to seek permit parking restrictions. “We are embarking on the process,” Delawanda Residents’Association president John Bennett said last week. And quite a process it is. “It goes on for a while,” Bennett said. “It could take several months.” The first step involves circulating a petition among the 50 or so households along the two blocks of Leland Avenue that stretch west from North High Street to dead-end at Delawanda Avenue. City regulations for obtaining permit parking that would exclude those without such permission during established hours require that 60 percent of those households sign the petition. The process is being initiated due to ongoing problems with some customers of Bob’s Bar at 4961 N. High St. blocking driveways, littering and on occasion becoming belligerent, the residents’ association president previously indicated. “It’s about half the block that is directly affected now,” Bennett said. “The problem is if we only provided permit parking for that part of the block — which you can’t do, according to city regulations, so it’s moot — it would drive the problem parking into the area that is not covered by permit parking.” The type of permit parking being sought for Leland Avenue would prevent those without cityissued permits from parking there from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily, according to Bennett, who himself lives in Leland Avenue but well back from North See LELAND AVENUE, page A4

Simbro to scale back CAC activities Continued from page A1 had a new grandchild and learning over the last year as chairman of how the committees operated, that’s where some of these adjustments are coming from,” DeFourny said. Actually, the Simbro family will be welcoming a second grandchild in early October, and in addition to the demands of being a new grandmother, Simbro said that scaling back her CAC involvement with allow her to spend more time with her father, who recently turned 88. “I’m very fortunate to have my father still living and doing well,” she said. In assuming chairmanship of the planning and development committee, a post jointly held last year by Cipiti and Mike Folmar of District 4, DeFourny said that he will be looking to continue several of the initiatives already under way. “We’ll be carrying over the gateway plan,” DeFourny said, referring to a planning and development effort to get artists to come up with designs for the various entry points to Clintonville and then seeking funding for these signs. In addition, a new sign at the Whetstone Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library, a goal
of one day cutting the speed limit on North High Street and parking issues, also along High Street but elsewhere, will also remain on planning and development’s plate, the CAC chairman said. Meanwhile, Simbro will be working to bring Cipiti and others up to speed on the knowledge she’s gained in nearly 30 years of involvement in zoning and variance matters that come before the area commission. “You reach a point in life where you’re like, ‘You know, somebody else ought to be able to do this,’ ” she said. “There are other people who need to have a full understanding of what this procedure is all about. Also, I’ve taken some pretty good hits the past couple of years from past and present members of the commission. That leaves one a little sore, to be honest. “It’s been a labor of love for me,” Simbro added. “I enjoy it immensely on the one hand, and on the other hand it’s like, ‘Let’s step back.’ ” Simbro won’t be alone in endeavoring to pass along institutional knowledge; she said that Diane Hayford, another longtime zoning and variance committee member, will also be sticking around under the new chairman. “We don’t agree on a whole
lot, but the great thing is … through not agreeing, we come up with a better product,” Simbro said. “Sometimes you have to raise questions to bring things to a higher level. “I would never just drop this in someone’s lap and walk away,” Simbro continued. “Hopefully, Nick will grow to appreciate the nuances of the position. I will say it is very difficult to be a commissioner and chair variance and zoning. I did that when I was a commissioner. I would like to see commissioners understand and appreciate what the focus of variance and zoning is. The best way for them to learn is to be active participants. “I won’t be too far away. I will try my best not to let anybody trip and fall. It’s the mom in me.” But the grandmother in her, Simbro admitted, will now be allowed to spend time with her grandchildren, regardless of when that might take place. “If I am not going to be in town the first Thursday of the month, the world will not be coming to an end,” Simbro said. “Too many times I have thought over the years, ‘Oh, I can’t do anything that week, it’s the commission meeting.’ It is time for me to lighten up. “I have just gotten a little too serious in my old age.”

Exhibit features ‘Victory Garden’ poster series Wholly Craft, 3169 N. High St., will be celebrating the garden harvest season with an exhibit and reception designed to encourage local gardening and raise money for community gardening projects. The Victory Garden of Tomorrow poster series by artist Joe Wirtheim will be on display through Aug. 26. Wirtheim is a former Columbus resident now living in Portland, Ore. In his work, according to Wholly Craft owner Olivera Bratich, Wirtheim “channels the aesthetics of historical poster propaganda to send modern messages about
food and consumption.” “While World War II era posters encouraged Americans to grow Victory Gardens to reduce reliance on war rations, Wirtheim considers his series to provide ‘artful advocacy for the modern home front,’” according to Bratich. Exhibited posters will be available for purchase for $15 to $30. Throughout the exhibit, Wholly Craft will also be selling Tshirts to benefit local community gardening organizations. Adult T-shirts with the slogans “Support Community Gardening” and “Think Globally, Garden Locally” and children-sized “Ohio
Grown” T-shirts will be available for $10, with all proceeds benefiting the Godman Guild’s Weinland Park Community Garden and Local Matters. The exhibit will close on Friday, Aug. 26, with a reception featuring foods harvested from gardens and farms in central Ohio and a presentation by local community gardening experts Trish Dehnbostel and Yolanda Moser. Moser, garden and wellness coordinator at the Godman Guild, will discuss her work in Weinland Park engaging neighborhood teenagers in gardening and community-building projects. Dehn-
bostel serves as director of healthful food access at Local Matters and oversees over 70 local community gardens. She’ll explore different gardening methods, answer questions about starting a garden and explore opportunities for involvement in local community gardening projects. The link between shopping locally and eating locally makes sense, according to Bratich. “All of these eat-local, buylocal movements are advocating for the same thing: localized economies that offer meaningful jobs to workers and healthful, sustainable products to consumers,”
she wrote in announcing the exhibit. “We love being able to provide the community with fun, handmade gifts year-round and we jumped at the chance to highBEAT THE HEAT!

Business owner trying to make some noise Continued from page A1 about the small businessman.” Asked to reply to Tinsky’s allegations, Burton requested questions in writing, but then declined, in the main, to respond to specifics. “I think I really want to kind of make two points, which I think is satisfactory,” she said. “ODOT and Mr. Tinsky have been working together, communicating for several years, and we have tried to provide quality customer service and work with him on his needs. “And I think that’s sort of what I’m comfortable saying. I guess I and ODOT are respectful of the process. We negotiate and work with property owners, businesses, motorists, companies, the public, every day, and we’re respectful that that is done one-on-one between the individual, the busi-
ness and ODOT, and we had that with Mr. Tinsky, as we strive to have that with anyone or any business that has contact with ODOT.” The March 1, 2007, notification letter to property owners, which Tinsky says he never received, included a questionnaire asking if people wanted a noise wall and providing options for texture and examples of color, according to Burton. “It’s worth noting that of the questionnaires that were sent back to ODOT, nobody indicated that they didn’t want a noise wall,” she said. “That’s pretty standard, actually.” Tinsky wonders why he had to shell out nearly $50,000 to get clear panels in front of his business, but the Calvary Temple Lighthouse got even greater visibility for, he said he was told by ODOT, no charge.
Several messages left with the church were not returned. “That’s something that was negotiated between ODOT and the church,” Burton said. “You would have to contact the church. That doesn’t have anything to do with Mr. Tinsky. That is another entity. That is a nonprofit worship group. I don’t think Mr. Tinsky’s business and a church are the same. “Mr. Tinsky can obviously do and speak what he wants … I’ve shared with you what I think I’m comfortable talking about regarding this process.” Looking glumly out of the window of his office at the sound wall a short distance away, Tinsky said he feels as if he’s behind the walls of a prison. “Why do they have to be so tall here?” he asked. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
Leland Avenue residents to seek permit parking Continued from page A1 High Street. If a sufficient percentage of residents sign the petition, according to Public Service Department regulations, a traffic study would be conducted. This must show that 75 percent of available spaces are occupied in the period for which a limitation is being sought and 25 percent of these vehicles must be from outside the area. “The area defined should be as large as possible in order to simplify the administration process, to reduce the number of public hearings and to make enforcement more effective,” according to the rules. “Requests to establish new areas will not be considered unless such
area is a minimum of one city block.” The parking study is followed by at least one hearing. Residents seeking permit parking must pay administrative costs involved in the process, the regulations stated. The vast majority of Bob’s Bar patrons don’t cause any trouble for Leland Avenue residents, according to Bennett. “We don’t have a problem with most of them,” he said. “It is true that some nights there is a huge crowd of people up there, far more than the bar could accommodate. That plus the lack of parking is a bit of a problem itself. What they really need is a bigger space with more parking, but that’s not something we can do anything about.”
VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT Continued from page A1 Those wanting to volunteer should plan to meet at the edge of Glen Echo Park underneath the Indianola Avenue ridge. Steps down to the park are on the east side of the bridge, and parking is available along Indianola Avenue. Friends of the Ravine will be providing water, sunscreen, access to restroom facilities courtesy of Xenos Christian School’s Calumet Campus and other sundries. Volunteers are encouraged to wear long pants and boots or
shoes with good traction. Volunteers also might want to bring work gloves, a snack or lunch, and tools such as pruners, handsaws and shovels. Recreation and Parks personnel will also provide some saws and loppers for use by volunteers. To ensure a sufficient supply of resources by the event organizers, volunteers are asked to either send Peter Kovarik a message at pkovarik@cscc.edu or call him at 261-0092 prior to July 29. The Lower Olentangy Urban Arboretum was formed in late
2010 when the Columbus Foundation awarded both the United Crestview Area Neighbors and Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed grant requests with funds to purchase and plant canopy trees in the areas north and south of the Glen Echo Ravine. The arboretum’s boundaries are Weber Road to the north, North High Street to the west, the railroad tracks to the east and Arcadia Street from North High to Indianola Avenue and then Hudson from Indianola to the railroad tracks to the south.

Red Cross recognizes local volunteers American Red Cross of Greater Columbus recently recognized two Clintonville residents for their volunteer efforts. Sharon Groves received the Ann Magnussen Award, which goes to a volunteer registered nurse and is the highest honor of nursing achievement in the American Red Cross. Groves is a member of the Disaster Health Services team and helps provide 24-hour emergency response to local disasters. She also gives presentation on the Red Cross throughout Ohio, encouraging others to get involved. Groves was also one of the cowinners of the Health and Safety Services Award, along with her sister, Kim Tolliver. This award recognizes volunteers whose efforts have led to the expansion and improvement of American Red Cross Health and Safety Services. The two have also served on the program enrichment committee, where their insight has resulted in new initiatives and recommendations to improve operating procedures.

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 A6
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

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 led Newark to state title By JARROD ULREY
Counting down to No. 1
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 quar-
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.
ter. 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
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 5135 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
surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked 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 free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 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
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.”
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 15-9 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 41 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.
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 See AVERY, page A6
Soccer
Bexley graduate making impact in Kenya By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When he arrived in February in Likoni, a village of 100,000 people outside of Mombasa, Kenya, Ben Levey only knew how to count to 10 and say “hello” in Swahili. But the 2006 Bexley High School graduate quickly found a way to communicate with the children in the village — by playing soccer. “The passion for soccer over there is incredible. I have never seen anything See LARSON, page A6 like it before,” said Levey, who played for
the Lions’ 2003 and 2005 Division II state championship teams. “It was an easy way to connect with the kids. “Passing the ball back and forth was so natural. There’s some Ben Levey sort of connection there. You feel like you’re friends all of a sudden.” While serving as a volunteer with Hatua Likoni, a community-based, nongovernment organization trying to alleviate poverty and promote education
among the community’s youth, Levey became chairman of the Likoni Community Football League. The initial plan was to create a 14team league, but the LCFL quickly grew to 20, 28 and then 30 teams. “Once coaches over there saw that I was serious and they saw the goalposts going up, they wanted to get involved,” Levey said. “I wanted to keep it small because I wanted to make sure everything ran smoothly, but it grew to 600 kids before I knew it. It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league.”
Bexley boys soccer coach Greg Kullman said he’s not surprised that Levey’s idea grew so quickly. “Even as a sophomore on the 2003 team, Ben was a natural leader,” said Kullman, who was an assistant coach on that team. “He’s a hard worker and he gets those people around him to work together. “Ben worked with our freshman coach last year and we were hoping to have him back this season, but he’s decided the work he’s doing in Kenya is much See LEVEY, page A6

AVERY 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 2009-10 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 three-plus 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.”

Ben Levey, a 2006 graduate of Bexley, works with residents near Mombasa, Kenya. Levey is the chairman of the Likoni Community Football League, which grew from its original plan of 14 teams to 30. “It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league,” Levey said.

when I was coaching, I would have to step back and say, ‘Look at where you are. Look at the houses around you. Look at the environment you are in.’ “I was amazed by the amount of poverty over there, but because of the friendliness of the people, they didn’t seem that different from me.” Interest in the LCFL grew quickly in an area that offers little extracurricular activities for youth. However, creating fields and organizing the league took longer than Levey anticipated. “Everything in Kenya runs a lot slower than the USA. After the first week there, I realized I could only pick one thing to do each day,” Levey said. “Something that would take 15 to 30 minutes here takes three to six hours over there for some reason. “The happiest moment (of my time in Kenya) was probably the first day the league started. I was sitting there watching the U-12 teams play. This kid scored and he was mobbed in the corner by his teammates and they were imitating the things they’ve seen from (England’s) Wayne Rooney and all the other soccer stars. It kind of brought of tears to my eyes. That made all the hard work worth it.”
needed. I couldn’t argue with him.” Levey got involved with Hatua Likoni as a way of giving back. Hatua means “step forward” in Swahili, according to the organization’s website, www.hatualikoni.org. “At the end of my senior year at the University of Wisconsin, I decided I wanted to do something completely different,” Levey said. “I wanted to go to a foreign country and volunteer to do something before I started grad school.” Levey, who graduated from Wisconsin in spring 2010 with a degree in biology, planned to begin pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy at the University of Pittsburgh in August, but he has pushed that back to next June. Levey, who returned from Kenya on May 15, said he plans to go back on Aug. 18 and will be there for at least three months, although he might extend that. Levey said was taken aback by the poverty he saw in Kenya, which is located on Africa’s eastern coast. On the soccer field, many children would tie together trash bags and wrap them into a ball. “After growing up in Bexley, I realized I lived in a bubble. My friends who aren’t from here call pbatterson@thisweeknews.com Bexley ‘Pleasantville,’” Levey said. “Sometimes www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
FOOTBALL Continued from page A5 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 veter-

I’m really excited to learn who my team is.” One of the key aspects of the 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

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 third-team all-state and first-team all-district 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,” julrey@thisweeknews.com Avery said. “We had a ceremony and had a day www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
