Ramp project sign of improved cooperation By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A renewed spirit of cooperation among community leaders in Clintonville, Northland and North Linden has led to this: What do you do with 250 pounds of bird droppings? “We didn’t save it,” according to Clintonville Area Commission chairman John DeFourny.

Instead, he said, the appalling amount of pigeon poop collected by volunteers at the June 25 Revamp the Ramp cleanup project at the Interstate 71 and John DeFourny Cooke Road interchange was disposed of in a Dumpster with a scale that DeFourny has for his real estate business.

The effort was a joint project of the Northland Community Council, Clintonville Area Commission and North Linden Area Commission, with volunteers from the Adena Brook Community of Clintonville also turning out to help. The project was not only successful, according to members of some of the civic groups involved, but also could herald the dawn of a new era of cooperation among neighborhoods and neighborhood

organizations. “I’m ecstatic about the collaborative nature of this project,” NCC vice president Emmanuel V. Remy said. “With tighter budgets with local government, state government, federal government, things need to be done more at a grassroots level. “I think we all as community activists need to figure out ways to do more of this kind of work with our neighbors and other

community organizations if we want to get things done,” he said. DeFourny called Revamp the Ramp, which was conceived first separately and then jointly by Remy and the CAC’s James R. Blazer II, “something small that could be big.” “Now there will be some growing cooperation, especially as we discuss these See RAMP PROJECT, page A4

Wounded officer to be honored at CAC meeting By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

At the next monthly meeting of the Clintonville Area Commission, two commendations will be issued for Columbus Division of Police officer John Sullivan, who was wounded in the line of duty in late April. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. today (Thursday, July 7) in the Whetstone Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. Sullivan, who at one time served in the precinct that includes Clintonville, will be receiving commendations issued by state Sen. Jim Hughes (RColumbus) and one from the area commission, District 7 representative Dave Southan said Jim Hughes last week. Southan is the CAC’s safety liaison. The July 7 meeting will be preceded by a session of the zoning and variance committee starting at 6, according to area commission chairman John DeDave Southan Fourny. The regular session will open with the welcoming of new members Rob Wood and Nancy Kuhel, according to the agenda DeFourny distributed last week. Wood takes the place of Mike McLaughlin as the District 1 representative while Kuhel will Rob Wood be replacing Sarah Snyder for District 2. Snyder and McLaughlin opted not to seek additional terms in the election that was held in early May. Also on the agenda will be variance requests relating to the Nancy Kuhel property at 60 Oakland Park Ave. One is for a reduction in the side yard setback from 10 feet to eight feet and the other is for

Vegan approach paying off for salon owner By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A vegan restaurant? Sure. But a vegan hair salon? Why not? That was how Melanie Long looked at it when she began contemplating the idea of going into business for herself. She had worked for others from the time she was 17 in her native Galion and continuing after she moved to Columbus to finish her college education at Ohio State University. Most people who launch their own small business want to adopt the best practices they observed where they previously worked. Long sought to jettison the worst practices she saw working in various salons in the Columbus area. Now 26, Long is the owner-operator of Virtue Salon and Barber Shop LLC at 3333 N. High St. Launched earlier this year, Long is fairly certain hers is the only vegan salon in Ohio. Long, who has a degree in art from OSU, was drawn to the idea of being her own boss after working for others for around nine years. “It is kind of a hot thing right now, to have a small business,” she said last week, noting that people are increasingly trying to support enterprises in their own neighborhoods.

But in launching her own salon, Long said that she wanted to be much more eco-friendly than some of the shops where she had worked. “Maybe eco-friendly to the max,” she said. At the same time Long was making plans to start a hair salon, she was trying to maintain a vegan lifestyle. In the process, she said that she became aware of the availability of vegan haircare products, ones that were organic and sulfate-free. There are small product lines manufactured throughout the United States — and Long had already decided to stick with American-made — that use no animal byproducts and are “botanically based,” she said. “It’s not as easy to find,” Logan said. “It takes

an extra step.” In point of fact, Long added, once found, these domestic products turned out to be no more expensive than non-vegan ones made in this country. “I though there were a lot of people in Clintonville who were passionate about that,” commented Long, who lives in the neighborhood herself. “Virtue Salon is a built around a group of ideas that promote a more sustainable lifestyle,” according to the website. “As a hairstylist, I began to ponder ideas about how the beauty industry could have a positive approach to life and the environment. “Many salons have become extremely wasteful and dangerous for the environment. I started to research product lines and other ideas to create a more sustainable salon. I was surprised to find how many small companies and manufacturers were working hard to make their products environmentally sound. These companies not only use vegan ingredients but they also use 100-percent recyclable materials for all of the shipping and product packaging.” After finding a spot for her enterprise at the site of a former Indonesian market and recordSee VIRTUE, page A3

Bridge project will Chapter concludes successful year close street, trail MOMS Club By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Moms: You gotta love ’em. Members of the MOMS (Moms Offering Moms Support) Club of Clintonville give back some of that love by doing service projects in the community. According to Elisabeth Gibson, whose yearlong stint as president of the MOMS Club of Clintonville ended last week, during her terms in office the members: • Adopted the section of the Olentangy River at Kenney Park and held three cleanup days. • Collected old greeting cards for St. Jude’s Card Recycling Program. • Held a book collection for Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the Columbus Metropolitan Library. • Donated food to the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. • Donated toys to Goodwill and Toys for Tots. • Donated hats, gloves, blankets, etc. to the Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center. • Sponsored a North Clintonville Intramural League girls T-ball team. • Donated money to the ClintonvilleBeechwold Community Resources Center Ring Around the Roses 5K run.

A closer look The MOMS Club of Clintonville is a local chapter of the International MOMS Club. The nonprofit organization was founded in 1983 by Mary James, a stay-at-home mother in southern California. Originally the Clintonville-Worthington chapter, the MOMS Club of Clintonville split off on its own in 2006. More information about the chapter is available at clintonvillemomsclub.yolasite.com.

• Donated money to the Whetstone Library children’s area. Oh, and they also spent a lot of good times together and had fun outings to various Metro Parks, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Firefly Café, COSI, pumpkinharvesting and apple-picking. “You name it, if it’s something going on in Columbus, we find it and try to make it fun,” said Gibson, whose place as president has been taken by Kari Dew. The MOMS Club of Clintonville is a local chapter of the International MOMS Club. The nonprofit organization was founded in 1983 by Mary James, a stay-at-home

mother in southern California. Originally the Clintonville-Worthington chapter, the MOMS Club of Clintonville split off on its own in 2006. Past-president Gibson said that she became a member in August 2009. “I just had a son who I wanted to have some interaction with other kids,” she said. “I kind of wanted to meet some other moms.” After seeing a notice about the local Moms Offering Moms Support chapter, Gibson said that she checked into it and “really fell in love with the group.” “I think for this MOMS group in particular, Clintonville is a close-knit community and everyone’s kind of like-minded,” Gibson said. All of the approximately 45 members, with around 70 children ranging from newborns to around 7 years old, are stay-athome moms or mothers who only work part-time. A number of the local chapter’s members are wives of graduate students at Ohio State University whose families may be hundreds of miles away, according to Gibson. “This kind of becomes their family and who they rely on for stuff,” she said. More information about the chapter is available at clintonvillemomsclub.yolasite.com.

Franklin County Engineer Dean C. Ringle announced last week that the replacement of the Dodridge Street Bridge, spanning the Olentangy River between Olentangy River Road and Neil Avenue will require East Dodridge Street and the Olentangy Trail, which passes beneath the bridge, to be closed on or about Wednesday, July 13, weather permitting. The street and trail, both located just south of Clintonville, would remain closed until September 2012, according to the announcement. “The project involves the demolition of the current bridge and the construction of a new triplespan, arched, concrete girder structure,” Ringle said in a statement. “Architectural enhancements include decorative railing and street lighting, and a pierfree river span.” The Olentangy Trail and embankment retaining wall adjacent to the bridge will also be rebuilt. The bridge that is being replaced was built in 1967, ac-

cording to a Web page the engineer’s office has set up for the project. The posted detour route for eastbound motorists on Ackerman Road/Dodridge Street will follow Olentangy River Road south to Lane Avenue, east to Neil Avenue and north to Dodridge Street. Westbound traffic will follow the detour in the opposite direction. The posted detour route for southbound pedestrians and biSee PROJECT, page A4

New program offers rain barrels at a discount Mayor Michael B. Coleman, council member Eileen Paley and representatives from Greif Inc. and the Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation District last week announced the launch of the “Columbus GreenSpot Backyard Conservation Program.” Under the program, rain barrels currently offered through Mayor Coleman’s GreenSpot Backyard Conservation Program will be available for $45, about one-third of the $139 retail price. Residents will be required to first register their home as a GreenSpot and then either attend one of 14 workshops throughout July, August and September or pass an online quiz at www. ColumbusRainBarrels.org. “Through this public-private partnership it will be even easier for our residents to get green, saving money and the environment,” the mayor said in a press release. “A rain barrel is an easy way to get water for yards and gardens, and the best part is, the water is free.” Columbus residents participating in the program will become familiar with the effects of urban runoff and learn about the tools to manage storm water issues. By using a rain barrel, house-

holds will recharge the ground water supply, decrease the impact of runoff to streams, and save money by reducing the use of treated tap water to water their gardens. “A rain barrel connected to a downspout is a great way to help the environment and improve household finances,” Paley said in the release. “They will keep excess storm water out of the sanitary sewer system and provide a free source of water for plants and gardens. Rain barrels reduce a family’s demand for treated tap water, thus lowering your water bill.” EarthMinded, a subsidiary of Greif Inc., which has its headquarters in Delaware, has partnered with the city of Columbus and is providing RainStations to the city at the discounted rate. The EarthMinded RainStation rain barrel for sale through the program connects to downspouts and automatically collects runoff water from a house’s roof. It includes everything needed for installation, has a 65-gallon capacity and is easily winterized. Technical assistance is also available to participants. “We’re proud to be part of the Columbus GreenSpot Backyard Conservation program,” Scott

Griffin, vice president of Sustainability for Greif, said in the announcement. “Initiatives such as this play a critical role in educating and inspiring people to take action and we are very happy to be a part of this change.” The city has contracted with Franklin Soil and Water to administer the program and partner with local nonprofit watershed groups to conduct the educational workshops. “The city of Columbus is rich in water resources from small creeks in wooded ravines, accessible rivers and reservoirs,” said Jennifer Fish, executive director of Franklin Soil and Water. “Conserving and protecting these resources is important to our community for drinking water, recreation and wildlife. This is important to our identity and our economy.” The workshop options include: • July 14, 6:30 p.m., Eastpointe Christian Church, 745 N. Waggoner Road. July 16, 10:30 a.m., Hilltop Library, 511 S. Hague Ave. • July 21, 6:30 p.m., Blendon Woods Metro Park, Sycamore Shelter, 4265 E. Dublin-Granville Rd. • July 28, 6:30 p.m., Whetstone Library, 3909 N. High St.

ing studio, Long said that she didn’t have to look far for inspiration regarding decoration: “I was first inspired by my great-grandfather’s barber chair,” the owner wrote on the website. “Based on the looks of the chair, I thought it would be amazing to create a salon with all vintage furnishing. So according to the original idea, I began to collect items that complemented the chair. I have now acquired a salon full of furniture and equipment with an interesting story attached to each. As I collected everything, I realized that buying only ‘repurposed’ items was one of the most eco-friendly things that anyone could do.” “I’ve had a few people say, ‘Is this a furniture store?’ ” Long admitted last week. So far, the salon owner said, the reception given her business and approach to it has been gratifying. “I feel really supported by the community,” Long said. “I hope to be here for a long time.” Virtue Salon and Barber Shop, which may soon have an urban garden growing out back, has seven employees, including Long and the barber, the only man in the operation. The others are two receptionists and four hairstylists. kparks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Reception at gallery to benefit charities “The difference this time around is that we have three major artists who will be displaying rather than a bunch of different ones,” Philippidis said. Those artists include her husband, Bob James, who is an instructor of advertising and graphics at the Columbus College of Art and Design. “He does some wonderfully whimsical … very classical images of dogs,” Philippidis said. Another of the three major artists whose works will be in the show is Rochelle Waldman. “Rochelle’s work is very colorful and abstract,” she said. The third will be Michael Donner of Wickliffe, whose portraits of animals, many of them farm

animals “are very Renaissancelooking,” according to the gallery co-owner. “It’s an all-encompassing show,” Philippidis said. “It’s a pet days of summer.” During the opening reception, dogs and cats will be available for adoption and there will be a dog wash at $15 a dog. Proceeds will go toward two charitable organizations, Centerburg-based Whisker Connect and Pets for Vets, which provides companion animals for veterans in southern California and southwest Washington state, according to its website. “Everybody’s dog is welcome to come and participate,” Philippidis said. “We’re dog-friendly.” — Kevin Parks

Ramp project sign of improved cooperation Continued from page A1 ramps with our bordering commissions,” DeFourny. “In a sense, rather than having the city to arrange things, we’re making phone calls, we’re having meetings.” “I think that we’ve developed a good relationship, particularly Emmanuel, with the Clintonville folks,” Northland Community Council president Dave Paul said. “I think that’s very good, as well as … some of our civic associations working together themselves. “It is evidence that we’re forging alliances. They’re sort of movable. That is to say, they may shift from time to time depending on the issues.” Paul pointed out that the NCC’s slogan is “Growth Through Cooperation.” “And I think this is a very good sign of that cooperation,” he said. The cleanup effort, which might be a first step in qualifying for funding under an Ohio Department of Transportation program that helps pay for upgraded landscaping and freeway interchanges, might be extended to more ramps along I-71. And about time, too, in the opinion of Clintonville Area Commission District 7 representative Dave Southan. “We’ve got the communities involved, and I think now they’ll want to get to Weber and North Broadway and all those exits,” Southan said. “If

that comes about, we’ll have it covered from Morse Road to downtown. For once, you drive into Columbus, it won’t look like a hick town. It will make it look real attractive.” More than 40 people showed up to help out on June 25, according to DeFourny and Remy. “We turned people away,” DeFourny said. “You had to get there early to pick up trash.” “We actually turned people away,” Remy said. “I think after it was done, it looked great, but the very next day, there was litter there. It’s a neverending battle, but for that one moment, it looked really good.” “It’s normal, but clean and swept,” DeFourny said. “Will it last? Well, no … but I don’t think it’s been cleaned in a long while. It was very well worth it.” Other statistics DeFourny and his weighing Dumpster garnered from the first Revamp the Ramp: • More than 100 pounds of metal was recycled. • More than 400 pounds of litter was picked up. • Ninety percent of the trash was removed from the site for disposal. “Typical Clintonville, we took it with us,” DeFourny commented. “We didn’t leave it for ODOT.” And then there were all those bird droppings. “In some of the bird droppings there were (cigarette) butts … but those don’t weigh much,” DeFourny said.

G. Michael’s Bistro serve seafood treasures Summer officially just started, but I’m already worried you’re going to blow it. How? Well, by missing out on great-here today, gone-tomorrow delicacies. That would be a shame, because eating fleetingly available seasonal treasures — and I’m not even talking about vegetables — not only thrills your taste buds, but it fills you with a seize-the-day pleasure that makes life richer. You want that, right? If not, stop reading. If yes, get yourself to G. Michael’s for a plate of rare and incredible seafood. With its warm-weather menu in place, G. Michael’s has lightened up a bit. I’ll eventually get to some wonderful items on that list (and how to get them at a discount), but first I want to point you to the recurring summertime specials that have gotten me so “Don’t miss it!” excited: sublime and difficult-to-find white-fleshed salmon plus some of the best soft-shell crabs around. Summer is prime soft-shell crab sea-

MENU by G.A. Benton son, and I love those crazy-looking things. Unfortunately, they too often arrive uncrispy, cooked to mush and so puny there’s not much to sink your teeth into. Not here. G. Michael’s soft shells — which get a pleasingly ungreasy and delightfully crackly cornmeal jacketing — are generally thicker, providing pockets of sweet lovely meat. Lately I’ve had them in appetizer form ($12) detailed New Orleans style, with racy red rice and a rich remoulade sauce, and Asian-inflected, with a stir-fry-like slaw. Both were terrific. We’re also currently enjoying the shortlived wild Alaskan salmon season. If you’ve only had commonplace farmed Atlantic salmon, I urge you to seek out their more elegant Pacific cousin. I recently hit the lottery at G. Mike’s by scor-

ing infrequently encountered Alaskan King Salmon with pale, whitesh meat. Called ivory salmon, it was simply and beautifully grilled. This delicate, succulent fish — likely the mildest salmon

you’re liable to eat — came partnered with stuffing-like cremini mushroom fritters, a vivid tomato and herb ratatouille, and a couple (possibly food-chain-riffing) shrimp. Order this stunner immediately if you spot it as a special. If pristine and rarely seen seafood isn’t your thing, try the lean and mean Marinated American Bison Flatiron Steak ($28). The tender, beefy meat had a sexy char on it and except for a couple of gristly bites, was a delight. It arrived with a fruity, Worcestershire-perked sauce plus irresistibly crisp and oniony smoked goudaenhanced hash browns. If entrees don’t beckon, G. Michael’s excellent (and not-so-small) small plates have big flavors and can be had for just $6 until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday (two are plenty for dinner). Of course the awesome Shrimp and Grits is on the greatest hits list, but here are some favorites: • Seared Jumbo Scallops: This place is also famous for its great scallops, and

this dynamic duo — crested with intense pickled rhubarb and plated with a warm apple and fennel salad — only enhances that reputation. • Pressed Veal Sweetbreads: Wow. Imagine creamy and complex grilled sausage patties and cheesy hash browns (plus a colorful corn relish and smoky tomato sauce) for dinner. • Sweet Yellow Corn Johnnycakes: Another play on breakfast-for-dinner, these were fluffy and savory pancakes layered with game-changing Pernodsauced spinach, mild crawfish tails, peppers and an onion sauce. • Grilled Housemade Bratwurst Patty: Happiness on a beautiful breakfast-style biscuit with killer kraut and mustard.

After 14 years in Northland, Spain to reopen in Lewis Center

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Spain Restaurant is opening at the intersection of Powell Road and U.S. Route 23 after being in Northland for 14 years

A new era in the history of Spain Restaurant begins in Lewis Center. After 14 years in the Northland area, the restaurant has relocated to 76 Powell Road, in the former Beeb’s Deli location. Owner Andres Casal said he closed the Northland site in late May to concentrate on his new store, set to open later this month. “The space is comfortable,” he said. “It’s nice — not too big, not too small.” He has spent the last several months renovating the interior, building a bar and installing a new floor and seating. The 3,600-square-foot building seats 120, with another 40 on the patio. The menu offers many traditional Spanish dishes, such as paella, gazpacho and cabrito, or goat, which is marinated for four days before being slow-cooked. The bill of fare is heavy on seafood dishes, with beef and poultry dishes represented as well. There’s even duck a l’orange, using Casal’s own special recipe. Most dinner entrees are in the $17 to $20 range. In addition to a set lunch menu, 10 specials will be featured for the afternoon crowd, Casal said. No lunch item will top $10, he said. All desserts — including flan, cheesecake and tres leches cake — are made from scratch. Spain also will carry a full liquor license but will not offer tapas, a style of small plates often misinterpreted in American restaurants. “Maybe in the future I’ll open a tapas bar — a real tapas bar — downtown,” he said. As with the previous location, the latest Spain will have white tablecloths and linen napkins

for a sophisticated look but a casual ambience. The restaurant got its start in 1994 on the West Side. Casal, who began cooking professionally in restaurants in New Jersey, was hired at the original location shortly after it opened. He bought his way into the ownership over the years. Casal will reopen Spain nightclub in the former storefront at 888 W. Dublin-Granville Road in the Best Western Hotel in the next week or so, he said. It will be open Friday and Saturday. Yet, the neighborhood couldn’t seem to get back on the upswing, so Casal decided to move to an area that’s closer to his customer base. With few upscale dining options in the immediate area, the restaurant is perfectly situated between Polaris and nearby Powell, he said. “It’s good for me,” he said. “Competition is good but sometimes it’s good to not have too much competition.” Misperceptions still persist about Spanish cooking, which tends to be lumped in with any cuisine south of the American border, Casal said. He said his style of cuisine is largely uncomplicated, allowing for clean, natural flavors. “I think the best food is the simplest,” he said. Spain will be open for lunch Monday through Friday and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (740) 548-6900.

Women’s Basketball

Western Michigan sticks by Watterson’s Haley By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Even though she was being recruited by dozens of Division I colleges, Watterson High School’s Courtney Haley made a verbal commitment in April 2010 to play women’s basketball for Western Michigan because she believed the coaching staff had her best interests in mind. On June 19, 2010, Haley learned exactly how valuable she was to Western Michigan coach Tasha McDowell when she injured her right knee while making a layup.

Despite the fact that Haley had to have surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a strained medial collateral ligament and torn meniscus, the Broncos didn’t withdraw their scholarship offer and Haley signed her letter of intent on Nov. 10. “The main reasons I wanted to play for Western Michigan were that I loved the campus and the coaches seemed like genuine people who had my best interests in mind instead of people who were saying what I wanted to hear,” said Haley, a 2011 Watterson graduate who lives in Hilliard. “When I injured my knee it crossed my mind that they

might not want me anymore because another coach told me they had just pulled a scholarship offer from a girl who had blown out her knee. But when I called (McDowell) to tell her what happened, she said she was going to stand behind me because she had come back from an ACL injury and understood what I was going through.” Haley, who earned first-team CCL and honorable mention all-district honors as a sophomore and a junior, missed her senior season while recovering from her injury, as an excessive amount of scar tissue slowed the healing process. Haley participated in the Capital City

All-Star Game on April 16 at Reynoldsburg, winning the 3-point contest by making 40 of 50 attempts. “Courtney’s an extremely good shooter and a lot of that has to do with her work ethic,” Watterson coach Tom Woodford said. “She’s known to go to different gyms around the city to shoot the ball for hours. Before we went to a shootout one time, she went to the gym and took more than 1,000 shots for practice. She can put the ball in the hole, and once she gets back into the routine of playing she will have a great opportunity to have a great career at Western Michigan.”

Haley, who graduated from Watterson with a 3.6 grade-point average, plans to major in biomedicine with the goal of becoming a dentist. After sitting out last season, Haley wants to make a big impact on her college team, which went 9-21 overall and 5-11 in the Mid-American Conference last year. “I just want to contribute as much as I can from the beginning and be as good in college as I was at Watterson,” Haley said. ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Commentary

Strong mindset key for athletes Ask any athlete, at any level, about the importance of the mental side of sports and he or she will say that believing in oneself is critical to success. This week, the central Ohio high school student-athletes in my summer series talk about how self-conLARRY fidence imLARSON pacts their performance. Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Confidence is one of the most vital things to have when playing a sport. If you don’t believe in yourself then you will never reach your full potential.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “If you don’t believe in yourself, your body will do what your mind thinks, so you won’t progress. Just like my coach says, ‘Your body is stupid and it is up to your mind.’” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I was told, ‘If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,’ and it seems to be that every time I thought that way, it happened.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “You absolutely have to be confident in yourself and in your ability to perform under pressure.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I think it is important to believe in yourself and have confidence, but never be cocky and arrogant. Teammates are the most important part in sports and without each and every teammate I would have never achieved anything.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “If you don’t think you can do it, you won’t be able to do it. If you don’t believe in your abilities, nobody else will either. You shouldn’t rely on others to build that confidence. It has to be you believing in yourself.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley football and wrestling: “One can only perform to their own expectations. If they expect highly of themselves and know they can perform highly then they will perform highly.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Self-confidence gives me comfort and makes me achieve what I want to achieve.

Athletes’ exploits remembered From staff reports

Whether they set a state record, put together a stellar performance or accomplished a feat that hasn’t stopped wowing us, central Ohio athletes have created indelible memories for followers of high school sports. After chronicling “20 Years of Upsets” in 2009 and the “Most Dominating Teams” last summer, for our third annual summer series we set out to find the “Top Individual Performances” of the ThisWeek Community Newspapers era that began 22 years ago. Discussions were held among the staff at ThisWeek, as well as with our colleague Steve Blackledge from The Columbus Dispatch, and we arrived at a top 10 along with 10 honorable mentions. Beginning July 14, we will run a retrospective article on each of the top five performances, with one story running each week until we finish on Aug. 11 with what we consider the top individual performance. So what makes one performance stand higher than another? One key factor in the rankings dealt with the stage on which it occurred. Performances See LARSON, page B2 that happened late in the post-

Honorable mention JAKE BLANKENSHIP, Gahanna boys track and field (June 4, 2011) — The junior cleared 17 feet in the pole vault to capture the Division I state championship. That set the state-meet record in the event and helped him win a yearlong battle with Olentangy Liberty twin brothers Joey and Chris Uhle, who took second and third, respectively. TROY BOWERS, Westerville South wrestling (March 4-6, 1999) — A broken hand sidelined him for a month of the regular season, but Bowers went on to pin three of his four opponents at state and win the Division I title at heavyweight. In the final, Bowers pinned future NFL player Alex Stepanovich of Berea in 1:03. CLAIRE DURKIN, Worthington Kilbourne girls cross country (Nov. 3, 2007) — Durkin completed a stellar prep career by winning the state championship in 17:10.5. The time set the state-meet record in Division I. MINDY HAMMOND, DeSales girls soccer (Nov. 5, 1997) — During a state semifinal against defending

champion Chagrin Falls, the senior goalkeeper made a diving save to preserve a one-goal lead with 17:38 remaining. Three minutes later, she scored on a penalty kick to seal what would become a 3-0 win. JACK RAFFERTY, Dublin Coffman football (Oct. 31, 2003) — The senior quarterback who would become the district’s Player of the Year in Division I and the ThisWeek Super 25 captain threw for 152 yards and rushed for a school-record 285 yards with four touchdowns as the Shamrocks beat Marion Harding 31-22 in their playoff opener. KRISTA KEIR, Westerville South girls track and field (June 6-7, 1997) — Two weeks after setting the state record in the discus (176-5), Keir threw 166-10 on June 6 to break the state-meet record. The next day, she threw 50-4 3/4 in the shot put to capture another title. WENDY LYONS, Westerville South girls tennis (Oct. 19-20, 1990) — Lyons capped a career in which she went 126-6 by losing just one set in the 1990 Division I state tournament.

Her 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 win over Centerville’s Melissa Zimpfer in the final gave her a 41-0 record for the season. B.J. MULLENS, Canal Winchester boys basketball (Jan. 21, 2008) — At the Flyin’ to the Hoop Classic in Fairborn, the senior and future Ohio State and NBA player had 62 points, 24 rebounds and three blocked shots to lead the Indians to a 79-69 win over New York (N.Y.) Our Savior New American. AUSTIN STAAB, Westerville Central boys swimming (Feb. 23-24, 2007) — In his final prep meet, Staab tied the national record and won the 100 butterfly in 47.1 on Feb. 23. The next day, the Stanford recruit clocked a time of 43.93 to win the 100 freestyle. ESTABAN WEAVER, Hartley boys basketball (March 18, 1995) — The Hawks advanced to a Division III state semifinal with a 72-68 victory over Germantown Valley View, led by the play of Weaver. He scored 36 points and teamed with Matt Lowery on two key defensive stops down the stretch.

season against tough opposition were given extra credit. B.J. Mullens of Canal Winchester scored 62 points during a 2008 regular-season game, but Charles Johnson ranks ahead of that for his 57-point game that helped Watkins Memorial upset a state-ranked team in the 1995 Division II district tournament. Also considered was whether

the athlete performed spectacularly in more than one aspect during the game or meet in question. For example, Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship set a state-meet record when he won the Division I boys pole vault championship last month, but Brookhaven’s Khalilah Carpenter ranks higher because she broke the state record in the girls

100 meters and also added a title in the 200 in the 2000 state meet. Without further ado, below are Nos. 10-6 of the top individual performances of the past 22 years, with an honorable mention list in the accompanying box: 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 7516 to earn the City League-Red Division title and a Division II playoff berth as the senior and future Ohio State running back rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. He had six first-half touchdowns and added scoring runs of 57 and 71 yards in the second half. LaToya Turner, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final and exact revenge for a painful defeat with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. They had lost to the Grizzlies in a 1997 state semifinal. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the freethrow line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. The Tigers beat Mason 4630 the next day to earn their sixth state title.

Baseball

Many factors cause dip in area Legion teams By BRAD EMERINE How long does it take a trend to become the norm? In the past few years, central Ohio baseball players have started taking their talents to travel squads at the expense of American Legion teams. The players, high school coaches and Legion coaches debate the reasons for the change, but it doesn’t appear to be something that can be easily resolved. “The number of teams has decreased, but I wouldn’t say the talent has necessarily decreased that much,” said Michael Higgins, baseball chairman in Legion District 12. “I think we peaked a few years back when we had a dozen or more teams in District 12. Now we have six teams in the Senior Division and we have four teams in the Junior Division, which is in its second season of being officially recognized by American Legion. “When we had 12 (Senior Division) teams, people around the state were amazed. I think the increase to 12 teams was the abnormality, not the decrease in posts we’re now experiencing.”

ECONOMIC WOES Higgins said one of the big reasons for fewer posts offering baseball is the weak economy. “The economy has definitely played a role because many of the posts can’t afford to play in tournaments every weekend in addition to the league play during the week,” Higgins said. “I also think the increasing number of participants in sports such as soccer and lacrosse has taken away some of our kids.” About a dozen years ago, Newark Post 85 ran into a similar problem and decided to only fund a few of its team’s tournaments. The area’s baseball gurus got together and formed the Licking County Athletics. After a few separate years, the team and Post 85 reunited and added a few other sponsors. The Athletics played a Legion schedule, a Babe Ruth schedule and also played in select elite tournaments. Pickerington Post 283 is in

the same position, playing a schedule similar to what the Athletics played in the past. “Our post is the reason we still have a true Legion team,” coach Chris Weber said. “They support us financially way beyond what 90 percent of other posts in Ohio do. They believe in Legion baseball and baseball has brought good publicity to our post.” Because of Post 283’s financial support, the team plays other travel squads and competes in a number of elite tournaments. “We’re in a special situation where our post supports us well financially,” Weber said. “Some posts just don’t have the money to send the team all over the state and the Midwest.”

PHILOSOPHICAL DIFFERENCES

While the bad economy can be blamed for many things, there is more to this issue. There is a philosophical difference between Legion baseball and high school baseball

coaches. “The reason for the decline (in Legion baseball), in my opinion, is that there are too many baseball teams in central Ohio at this age,” Worthington Post 239 coach Jim Townsend said. “I think the talent is diluted and the result seems to be that Legion is not as competitive as it once was. “I think the high school coaches chose the easy way out and turned posts into an extension of the spring season. They want their kids playing together and that has ruined Legion baseball in central Ohio. Outside of central Ohio, Legion remains very competitive.” Post 239 went 2-2 in the state tournament last season. But Thomas Worthington coach Stephen Gussler, Worthington Kilbourne coach Jeff Boulware, Watterson coach Scott Manahan and Upper Arlington coach Matt Middleton then decided to form a travel team, Team Columbus. “There are multiple reasons for choosing not to play Legion

Golf

AJGA’s Columbus Junior returns to OSU’s Scarlet By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The eighth Columbus Junior presented by the Memorial Tournament will be held Tuesday, July 12, through Thursday, July 14, at the Ohio State Golf Club Scarlet Course. It is the third time that the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) event will be played on the Scarlet Course after stops in 2004 and 2009. The Columbus Junior has been held at four venues, also including Dornoch Golf Club (200506), Tartan Fields (2008) and the County Club at Muirfield Village (2007, 2010). Last year, Nicholas Grubnich of Crown Point, Ind., shot a 6under-par 210 and survived five playoff holes to win the boys division and Lindsey Weaver of Scottsdale, Ariz., posted an 11under 205 to cruise to a 12-stroke victory in the girls division. Neither player will be in the field this season. There are 18 central Ohio players scheduled to take part in the 84-player field, which features top junior players (ages 12-18) from 16 states, Canada and Colombia. Area players on the boys side are Garrett Brickley (Pickerington),Alex Carpenter (Westerville), Thomas Dunne (Dublin), JooYoung Lee (Hilliard), Matthew Moosavian (Westerville), Mert Selamet (Dublin), David Shepherd (Dublin), Blake Stewart (Dublin), Drew Thompson (Pickerington) and Nate Yankovich (Blacklick). Dunne (Dublin Coffman), Car-

penter (St. Charles), Lee (Hilliard Darby), Thompson (Pickerington North) and Yankovich (St. Charles) all competed in the event last season. Carpenter was one of three others who joined Grubnich in the playoff after all four finished with 210s. Dunne (215) tied for 15th, Lee (219) tied for 33rd, Thompson (221) was 37th and Yankovich (222) tied for 38th. “My goal is to finish in the top five,” said Thompson, a 2011 graduate who will play for Guilford College (Greensboro, N.C.), which is a highly ranked NCAA Division III program. “It will be my sixth AJGA event this season, it’s on a fun course and I’ve been playing pretty well.” Yankovich, who will be a senior in the fall, is familiar with the Scarlet Course after playing in the state tournament with the Cardinals the past two seasons. St. Charles won the title both seasons and Yankovich tied for second (75) in the tournament in 2009, when rain canceled the second round. Last season he tied for 10th (155) and teammate Michael Ricaurte (144) was medalist. Carpenter (159) tied for 18th as St. Charles won by 11 strokes. “I’ve played that course several times, but I don’t have a (score) in mind because it depends on how it’s playing then,” said Yankovich, who has made college visits to Miami University, Michigan State, Illinois and Purdue. “It’s the closest AJGA event, but I want to go in there like I do every tournament — all business. I want to focus on my game, play my best and have fun doing it.”

In the girls field, area competitors include Sierra Everson (Gahanna), Tess Fraser (Marysville), Lauren Grogan (Columbus), Erin Harper (Dublin), Natalie Irwin (Columbus), Julie Lechner (Powell), Morgan Ransom (Columbus) and Gina Son (Westerville). Ransom (Columbus Academy), Fraser, Grogan (Watterson) and Lechner (Olentangy Liberty) competed in the event last season. Ransom (227) was fifth, Grogan (229) tied for seventh, Lechner (240) was 18th and Fraser (243) was 19th. Ransom, a senior, was the Division II state champion (140) last season on OSU’s Gray Course after finishing runner-up as a sophomore and freshman. Grogan finished third (151) in the Division I state tournament as Watterson was eighth. Fraser (160) tied for 18th overall as an individual qualifier. “I didn’t play to my ability (in the Columbus Junior) last season,” said Fraser, a senior who won the Tanglewood Junior on the Future Collegians World Tour with a 157 on March 19-20. “Competing in the AJGA is a little stressful, but it is opening my eyes some. I hope to make a name for myself and I’m getting contacts, but I haven’t really heard seriously from any colleges yet. “I hope to finish in the top five in Columbus and I’m working hard trying to hit greens in regulation. I’m hitting fairways, but I need to get to the green to give myself more birdie opportunities.” bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

this year,” Middleton said. “It has become a form of high school-only ball and the play is so inconsistent. We would beat up on somebody one day and then get beaten up the next day. The level of play was so drastic and inconsistent that, in this sport, you can get bored with it rather quickly. “In Columbus, it’s been about keeping the younger guys together from the same high school. In Upper Arlington, we kept the freshmen together and just played U-15 travel ball. But the older they get, you want them competing and being successful playing with and against strong competition.” With the high school season being short in Ohio, it is difficult to put the blame solely on high school coaches, Middleton said. “It’s all about how much improvement you can make in the offseason,” he said. “Truthfully, the high school season is so short, and when you have two straight weeks of rainouts, you really accomplish very little.

Eagles U-16 defense falters in Cup final loss By AARON BLANKENSHIP

the past two days just to make it here, and the Hawks werenâ€™t really tested until they played us.â€? In the semifinal, the Eagles beat KCFC Force to avenge a 3-2 loss to the same team in a Regional Cup pool-play game a year ago. â€œThey manhandled us on the field to knock us out of the tournament last year, but we turned the tables on them and shocked them with how physical we were,â€? King said. Five minutes into the game, Hopkins stopped the ball from going over the Eaglesâ€™ goal line and cleared it to midfield. Playing into a strong wind, the Eagles battled to a scoreless tie at halftime. They then dominated the second half with the wind at their backs. Agnew scored three consecutive goals and Elise Jones scored with three minutes left to make it 4-0. It was the second three-goal game of the tournament for Agnew, who finished with seven goals in five games. â€œWe were under siege for the first eight minutes and Nicole really saved us on a ball that would have scored,â€? King said. â€œLindsay had a great tournament and her goal just a minute into the second half really broke their spirit because they were going into a stiff wind.â€? â€˘The Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls team lost to Eclipse Select 3-0 in a semifinal on June 28. â€œWe are probably the best two teams in our region, so itâ€™s a shame we had to meet in the semifinals,â€? King said. â€œThe score wasnâ€™t indicative of how close the game was because we gave up a couple of soft goals by our standards. We made a couple of mistakes on our end and they punished us for it.â€?

With defenders Gabby Byorth, Makenzie Costner, Nicole Hopkins and Haley Lehmkuhl and goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas leading the way, the Ohio Premier Eagles Under16 girls soccer team had shutouts in each of its first four Midwest Regional Cup games in Fox Cities, Wis. The defense wasnâ€™t as strong in the final, when the Eagles allowed two goals in the first 12 minutes and lost to the Michigan Hawks 2-0 on June 29. â€œWe hadnâ€™t given up a goal the entire tournament, so we were in shock when we gave up two so quickly,â€? coach Chris King said. â€œWe conceded a soft goal off a corner kick seven minutes into the game and the kids were a bit taken aback by that. Five minutes later, one of their players took a bad touch on the ball, ran into one of our defenders and went down, and the ref bit on it and gave her a penalty kick, which they scored on.â€? The Eagles switched from a two-forward to a three-forward formation in the second half, but the Hawks goalkeeper made saves on shots by Bailey Wilson, Emily Byorth and Lindsay Agnew. King said that his teamâ€™s 1-0 win over Eclipse Select of Illinois on penalty kicks in its final pool-play game on June 27 and its 4-0 victory over KCFC Force of Kansas in a semifinal on June 28 drained his players of much-needed energy heading into the final. â€œWe had a tougher path to reach the final than the Hawks had and we just didnâ€™t have enough left in the tank to come back and beat them after we fell behind 2-0,â€? King said. â€œWe pressed every ball in the second half and we had some good chances, but we couldnâ€™t finish them.

Darcy Fishback, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) â€” The 2009 Division I state meet in Canton was full of memories for this senior as she led the Golden Bears to their fifth consecutive team championship. 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). Charles Johnson, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) â€” 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 freethrow line. His point total broke

the all-divisions district tournament scoring mark. Johnson added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. Khalilah Carpenter, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) â€” At the 2000 Division I state meet in Dayton Welcome Stadium, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. That time eclipsed

her 1998 meet record of 11.74 and broke the all-time mark of 11.63 set in 1993 by Dayton Dunbarâ€™s Danielle Twitty. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and captured the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. Carpenter also helped Brookhavenâ€™s 400 relay to a seventh-place finish. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
