Council debates timing of YMCA switch By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Delaware City Council is divided on how quickly to let the YMCA take over the city’s recreation program. At its July 25 meeting, council heard a first reading of a proposed management agreement between the city of Delaware and the YMCA of Central Ohio. “This is just a first reading. We’ve worked closely with the Y to come up with an agreement that protects the interests of the city and allows the YMCA … to manage the program,” city manager Tom Homan said. The new YMCA facility on Houk Road is expected to be completed in September. YMCA officials in April suggested
the organization handle recreational programming for Delaware, eliminating most of the city’s parks and recreation positions. Council members Carolyn Kay Riggle and Joe DiGenova said they would prefer to let the YMCA open and see how well it’s run before turning over the city’s recreation programming. Vice Mayor Windell Wheeler said he would be OK with waiting. “If it’s not broken, why fix it?” Riggle said. Council members Andrew Brush and Lisa Keller said they preferred not to
wait. Brush cited the cost savings to taxpayers. “I think it makes sense to have all of this under the same umbrella,” Brush said. “It seems to me this is a very … prudent thing to do and something that we all have to support.” The current estimated cost savings for hiring the YMCA to manage the city’s recreation programming is $147,624 a year, city spokesman Lee Yoakum said. Paul Weber, YMCA of Central Ohio district vice president, said more than 400 applications have been submitted for positions at the new facility. Weber has said that about 150 positions will be available at the YMCA and he would like the parks and recreation’s current three full-time city staff members to work for the YMCA.
Under the three-year proposal presented to council July 25, Delaware would pay YMCA of Central Ohio $185,000 to run its recreation program the first year, $187,000 for the second year, and the third year’s rate would be negotiated. “YMCA must submit a report detailing program expenses, revenue and participation, and year three’s management fee and program rates will be negotiated based on the information we receive in this report,” city attorney Darren Shulman said. The second year should provide a “good snapshot” of how the programming is running, he said. For the coming year, the YMCA would offer programs currently offered by the city and would not change program costs for residents.
It would offer additional programming at its discretion. City facilities would be available for rental as they are now. Current users Angel Dunlap Dancing and the Little Brown Jug Square Dance Club would continue to be permitted to use them. “City residents will not see any cost increase or services decrease from what they have now,” Shulman said. The YMCA would be responsible for facility repairs up to $500 per incident and for purchasing program equipment. The three-year contract offers an optional three-year renewal and allows either party to terminate the contract for any reason with 90 days’ notice.

County cuts 3 emergency communication positions
CHECKING OUT THE CAR SHOW
By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek
Noah “Tex” Atkinson, 4, pushes his hat back as he watches some of the vintage cars go by during the 18th annual Blast From the Past auto show on July 23 in Delaware. The show was put on by the Vintage Auto Club of Delaware and benefited HomeReach Hospice of Delaware. The show featured more than 500 cars. Noah was at the show with his grandfather, Bill Atkinson.
After a yearlong reorganization of the Delaware County Emergency Communications Department and the Delaware County 911 Board, county commissioners have agreed to cut three positions within the emergency communications department. Delaware County voters on May 3 approved a five-year, 0.45mill renewal operating levy for the county’s 911 emergency communications system. Even with the levy’s passage, the county’s communications department has a tight budget. “As you know … (we’ve) been looking at the department budget for quite some time and it has been determined that even with the passage of the levy in May that there will be a $1.2-million
deficit at the end of 2012 for the department,” said Dawn Huston, director of administrative services. The reorganization reviewed the communications department’s current budget, operations, staffing levels and call volumes. Huston and Bob Greenlaw, director of Delaware County Emergency Communications, along with the county 911 board, considered that some duties were being absorbed or replaced by technological advances. “We had three administrative positions that are no longer necessary with this reorganization within the department,” Huston said.

Man travels to city to thank Galena looks toward financing police officer who helped him new site of municipal offices By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Bill Sutton traveled a long way to say “thank you” at the Monday, July 25, Delaware City Council meeting. Sutton, a lawyer who practices in the Philadelphia area, visited the meeting to publicly thank Delaware police officer Jake Hartman for his assistance after a traffic accident June 19, 2010, near Wilmington, Del. Hartman was in the area to attend a family member’s wedding. He was the first person to go to Sutton’s aid after an auto struck Sutton’s motorcycle, throwing him to the side of the road. His left leg was amputated below the knee and a collapsed lung hindered his breathing. “When I came to after the accident, my impulse was to pull off my helmet. Officer Hartman calmed me down and explained that was important to keep it on,” Sutton said. In doing so, he likely saved Sutton from paralysis because, unknown to either, Sutton’s neck was broken. Hartman stayed with Sutton

He’s not about receiving accolades. He is a genuine community servant.

”
until a medical helicopter arrived to take him to a hospital. At one point, uncertain if he was going to live, Sutton asked Hartman to tell his wife he loved her. “You’re going to be able to tell her yourself,” Hartman said. The next day, Hartman sent a card to Sutton’s hospital room. That was when Sutton realized that Hartman was from Delaware, where Sutton had attended Ohio Wesleyan University from 19691973. “Seven operations and three hospitalizations and a lot of mending later, I’ve come to tell you about this good man,” Sutton said of Hartman. The trip was Sutton’s first back to Delaware since his graduation. Hartman and Sutton corresponded following the accident
and Sutton decided to visit the city to honor the man who was there for him in his hour of need. “(Hartman’s) own (police) chief, Russ Martin, knew nothing about this story until I called him a few months ago,” Sutton said. Hartman “didn’t do this for a pat on the back and certainly not for any kind of personal gain, but because he decided it was the right thing to do,” Martin said. Sutton presented Hartman with a plaque and donated $1,000 to the charity of Hartman’s choice. Hartman chose Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, because a family friend has a child with the disease. “The people of Delaware, Ohio, are fortunate to have someone like officer Hartman looking out for them, and I say from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me that day,” Sutton said. Martin commended Hartman’s service for the police department as well. “Less than a month ago, (Hartman) most likely prevented a sexual assault in one of our public parks,” Martin said. “He’s not about receiving accolades. He is

Galena Village Council on July 25 passed a resolution approving an ordinance that will allow the village to finance funding to remodel the former Galena United Methodist Church, now known as building 1829, on a one-year, $87,000 note. The ordinance allows the village to refinance that note and roll it into long-term financing for the renovation project. The funds are available through the Ohio Capital Asset Financing Program, which allows communities to join together to borrow money in order to take advantage of cost sharing. Specific details of the agreement, such as the set interest rate, will be available in August. Scott Watson, of Miller Watson Architects, reviewed plans for the building, which has to be brought up to current building codes and then modified to meet Americans With Disabilities Act standards. He proposed various improvements, including paved parking near the existing entrance ramp, modifications to the current entrances, replacing handrails and the addition of a unisex handicap-accessible restroom near the current sanctuary, which will become village council chambers.
A closer look The funds are available through the Ohio Capital Asset Financing Program, which allows communities to join together to borrow money in order to take advantage of cost sharing.
The cost of the improvements to meet the ADA standards is $65,000. Watson will submit bid documents to village council for approval to move forward with the project. The village bought the building in 2007 for $283,000 with the goal of making it a new municipal building. The recession led the village to try to sell or lease it in 2009, an effort that failed. Council then returned to the plan of renovating the building, with the possibility of moving municipal offices and council chambers there and putting the existing municipal building up for sale Council also: • Plans to schedule a public meeting in August on options for renovating Walnut Street.

National Night Out event slated in Genoa Township By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Genoa Township Police Department will host National Night Out from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2, at McNamara Park, 7049 Big Walnut Road. “This is a national (event) for crime prevention to bring people together and meet their neighbors and for us to put on some demonstrations on that theme,� said Police Chief Robert Taylor. The event is free to the community and includes hot dogs, ice cream, slushies and cookies, Taylor said. The police department’s canine unit will give demonstrations. The fire department will bring a smoke house and will demonstrate what happens when a “flashover� occurs during a fire. Life Flight crew members will attend with their helicopter Home Depot will hold presentations on fire suppression and locks and lighting for safety. Other activities will include a bounce house, a dunk tank, and carnival-style games for the children. “This event helps bring people together, so that when some-
thing happens, we can help each other out,� Taylor said. “Law enforcement can’t do it alone. It’s a team effort. We need the citizens out there being the eyes and ears for us, and this is another way to bring people together to get the message out that they should notify us of any suspicious activity.� Paper-shredding machines will also be at the event for people to use to destroy personal documents. “The shredders can help people destroy documents so they’re not discovered in the trash by some unscrupulous people who may use them in ID theft,� Taylor said, noting the importance of destroying documents with personal information on them. “We’re too naive. We throw things out that have information like our date of birth, Social Security number and bank account information and these criminal elements are just preying on us. It’s very easy to go through the trash and recover these numbers,� Taylor said. Taylor hopes the event will increase the community’s participation in the Neighborhood Watch program.

Police foundation organizes Poker Run for Sunbury boy By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The New Albany Police Foundation will stage an Aug. 13 fundraiser to help the family of Sunbury police chief Pat Bennett with medical bills. Foundation president Joe Duff said Bennett’s 14-year-old son, P.J., recently was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Ewing’s sarcoma, which affects bone and soft tissue in children and young adults. P.J. was diagnosed in December, Bennett said. He is being treated locally at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and is participating in a vaccine trial at a hospital in Bethesda, Md. Bennett said the family travels to Bethesda every other week and stays the entire week for P.J.’s treatment. The fundraiser will be the Bucket Run, the foundation’s inaugural poker run.
Part of the proceeds from the poker run will be used for the travel costs associated with P.J.’s treatment. “We wanted to raise some money for them,” Duff said of the Bennett family. The poker run will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, at Rusty Bucket restaurant locations in central Ohio. The rain date is Aug. 20. Participants can buy tickets at all Rusty Bucket locations or at myrustybucket.com. The entry fee is $20 per motorcycle and $10 for each additional rider. Cars also are allowed to participate, Duff said. The Bucket Run will begin at the Rusty Bucket in Westerville. Riders will be encouraged to stop at other Rusty Bucket locations and pick up a card at each one. They will end the ride at A.D. Farrow Co. Harley-Davidson at Northstar, 7754 state Route 37 in Sun-
bury, where they will reveal their poker hands. The person with the best hand will receive $400, the second best will receive $75 and the third best will receive $25. The Bucket Run also benefits the Rusty Bucket Ohio ProStart Scholarship Fund through the Ohio Restaurant Association Education Foundation. The New Albany Police Foundation became a nonprofit organization last year, Duff said. He said the organization is more than 13 years old and was originally called the New Albany Police Benevolence Fund. By also filing for nonprofit status, the group can accept funds from more sources and offer a tax incentive in return. Duff said funds collected support some New Albany police programs, such as the mounted patrol. Eventually, the foundation would like to set up a scholarship program, he said.

BUILDING Continued from page A1 the rest of the street with a permeable surface, which would eliminate stormwater runoff and reduce pollution of local waterways, will be acceptable to the Ohio Public Works Commission. Village officials are moving forward with an OPWC grant application for the project, which is due in October. Passed a resolution approving a zero-percent loan from the OPWC state capital improvement program for projects at the wastewater treatment plant. The $258,837 loan is to be paid back over 21 years, with the village repaying only what it actually spends. Different aspects of the work will be voted on separately by council. Heard village fiscal officer Marty Mazzie say about
$11,000 in delinquent sewer payments are owed to the village, which is down from the nearly $15,500 reported last month. Galena’s new sewer use policy states that after one day of delinquency, a 10-percent late fee will be assessed. After 30 or more days, a lien will be filed against the property and could result in a lawsuit. At 100 days delinquency, sewer services will be terminated, and property owners will have to pay a reconnection fee, as well as any past due money, before reinstating service. Approved a contract with the Greater Galena Civic Association for the Summerfest slated for 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Aug. 27. Artists, vendors and food will be offered on the village square, along with several live bands and a KidZone in Ruffner Park.
Continued from page A1 must provide participation and payment information for the last 12 months to help the transition go smoothly. The city parks and recreation advisory board would continue to exist in its current form. Three YMCA reps would join those members to form a YMCA advisory committee. Keller suggested that three city council members also serve on the advisory committee. Shulman and Homan said the proposed agreement could be amended to include that provision. Homan said he and Shulman would work with Weber to make adjustments to the agreement based on council members’comments and would bring it back for a second reading at the Aug. 8 meeting. Council could vote on the plan Aug. 8 or Sept. 12.

Just Thinking
No use talking about the weather … or is there? I vowed not to talk about it, because talking about the weather is like talking about how Christmas comes too early and isn’t it annoying how one sock’s always left over when the laundry’s done and kids! They grow up so fast, don’t they? On the other hand, to bring up the current weather — that is, the killer sauna heat and humidity we’ve been enduring, the kind of heat that causes newlyweds to sleep apart and puppies to watch a toy being flung across the back yard without twitching so much as a hind foot in response, would be to perform a public service. Why? Well, obviously, because if I break down and mention the heat at this point, discuss how bed sheets feel like damp paper towels, how in a hot room even the furniture is sticky and out on the lawn, the still air seems to shimmer in place, you can bet that before 24 hours have passed a crisp breeze will be blowing, the leaves will be changing colors and the temperatures will have dropped into the 50s, maybe even the high 40s. You know how that works, right? You wake up with a temperature of 103.2, your throat’s raw and pebbly and what is that all over your middle, a rash? So you call the doctor, make an appointment — they squeeze you in — and by the time you’re in the examination room 90 minutes later, you’re in the very peak of health. Not only is your temp normal and the rash gone, your hair looks perfect, exactly the way you hoped it would look on your wedding day, when that one piece kept flopping the wrong way. That, then, is exactly why I’m giving in and talking about the weather: to make the weather change. Who doesn’t want a little breath of fall right now? It doesn’t have to stay forever. Just long enough to cool the napes of our necks and make the furniture smooth again. Weather extremes never fail to remind me of other instances of extreme weather. Not in history, of course; I mean extreme weather I’ve experienced personally. Experienced and survived, I should say, that being the motif running through my thoughts.
For instance, I recall a long, hot afternoon in Portugal during the now almost legendary trip MARGO known by our BARTLETT daughters as “the time you and Dad backpacked through Europe.” We were in a seaside village, watching a sort of informal bullfight on a beach. Men and boys were running at and then away from the bull, which was never in mortal danger, though the men might have been, charging around like that in the heat. Some of the spectators had climbed on builders’ scaffolding that happened to be nearby but most people were crowded around a wall that was along the street above the beach. We were there, sometimes glimpsing the understandably irritable bull, but mostly watching the other spectators: elderly women dressed in smothering black, young mothers who sat on the curb to nurse their babies, parents with their children. One father held his daughter on his shoulder, and my husband took a picture. Even now, in a new century, her cheeks are as red as warm velvet. Connected to this day, whose oppressive heat and broiling sun seemed to go on forever, is the
campground where we were staying. It, too, was on the beach, and very sandy. I remember waking up to find ants in my ears. (Oh, don’t worry! They were dead ants. Mostly.) Another hot memory: As a brash college student, I worked — and lived on the grounds of — a small amusement park, a job that strikes people as either dashing and romantic, which it wasn’t, or as borderline dangerous, which it was. Those of us who worked in the park’s restaurant were students; those who worked the food stands were local high school kids; and the ride operators were adults named J.C. with tattoos and — in one case, at least — without permission to take leave from the Navy. We didn’t have a lot of sense in those days, but we knew not to hang out on the beach near the bathhouse where the ride operators lived. Instead, we crawled out the windows of our own dormitory, above the picnic pavilion, and spread towels on the pavilion’s black tar roof. Hot? Honey, had the place caught on fire it couldn’t have raised the temperature on that roof by more than a couple of degrees. Hey, look out the window. Are those snowflakes?

Football
Teams gearing up 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 fi-
nally 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 watching 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.” See FOOTBALL, page A7
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

Greg Avery (5) of Newark begins to celebrate in the final seconds of the Wildcats’ 65-52 victory over Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game on March 15, 2008. Avery dominated the game, scoring 33 points and adding 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead Newark.
Top Individual Performances: No. 3
Avery’s heroics led Newark to 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 See LARSON, page A7 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

FOOTBALL Continued from page A6 Teams from the City League sometimes have obstacles, particularly early on, because many of the players who come out for football as freshmen are competing in the sport on a team for the first time. For those taking over a program for the first time such as Brookhaven’s Trevor White, that factor as well as figuring out how to install a new system can make for some complicated moments of preparation even before the first day of official coaching. “Especially with a new program, a big thing early on is setting the tone,” White said. “You want to be getting everybody on the same page, and what we’ve been debating is how much of the offense and defense do we put in. Do we just throw it at them or do we take it step by step? “We’ll have some kids that played (youth) football but some who have never played the sport before. You’ve always got to walk a line of bringing kids along but not holding the veterans back, and especially
At a glance Below is a look at the Delaware Hayes and Big Walnut football teams entering Monday, Aug. 1’s first day of official coaching: DELAWARE •Coach: Zebb Schroeder, first season •2010 record: 3-7 overall, 2-5 (sixth) in OCC-Capital •Last playoff appearance: 2008, lost in Division I first round •Opener: Aug. 26 vs. Buckeye Valley •Top expected returnees: Matt Bingaya (QB/WR), Mickey Bivens (LB), Colton Christner (OL), Aaron Heber (OL) and Xia Minich (LB) •Preseason outlook: The Pacers couldn’t build on back-to-back winning seasons as they struggled to overcome injuries and personnel changes under former coach Mike LoParo. The new coaching staff will look for success with a program whose depth likely will come from its freshman and
sophomore classes. BIG WALNUT •Coach: Joe Weaver, third season •2010 record: 10-3 overall, 5-2 (tied for second) in OCC-Capital •Last playoff appearance: 2010, lost in Division II regional final •Opener: Aug. 26 at Westerville Central •Top expected returnees: Tyler Beam (QB), Garrett Dandrea (LB), Lucas Garcia (RB), Jason Griffith (DL) and Nick Shryock (RB/DB) •Preseason outlook: With 12 players expected back who started or saw significant playing time last fall, the Golden Eagles would seem to be ahead of where they were at the beginning of last season. Another long playoff run could be theirs for the taking. For preseason information on other central Ohio teams, go to ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
with a new program, it’s important that you’re really getting to know the team. I’m really excited to learn who my team is.” One of the key aspects of the first days of official coaching, according to Olentangy Liberty coach Steve Hale, is getting players’ technical reactions back on track. “You’re working a lot on technique, stance and starts, quickness and a lot of ball skills,” Hale said. “What responsibilities do I have? There
are a lot of drills where we try to put kids in situations where they can learn. I 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

New SUM MER
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.”
Continued from page A6
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
