Board OKs more employee pay freezes By JENNIFER BOYTAR ThisWeek Community Newspapers

More Delaware city school employees have agreed to salary concessions for the upcoming school year. The district’s nonteaching employees in the Ohio Association of Public School Employees union have agreed to a pay freeze.

The board approved the agreement June 29. OAPSE, which represents district secretaries, library aides, business office clerks and educational aides, agreed to the concessions on June 8. The one-year agreement puts a freeze on any base salary and step increases for the 2011-12 school year, and is effective through July 31, 2012.

In a separate action, the board also approved a pay freeze for all district administrators and non-union employees. Superintendent Paul Craft praised district employees for their “spirit of cooperation.” “All of our staff members understand the district’s difficult financial situation and have really stepped forward to help minimize additional budget cuts and pro-

tect quality educational programs for our students,” he said. A similar agreement was reached with the Delaware City Teachers Association on June 6. District treasurer Christine Blue said the DCTA contract will save the district $341,772. The OAPSE agreement will save $34,460.

The pay freezes for non-union employees and administrators will save an additional $4,544 and $43,298 respectively. The third and final union, the United Electrical, has reached a tentative agreement. The board has not yet voted on the agreement and no details were provided. See SCHOOL BOARD, page A6

Residents protest substation plans By SARAH SOLE

on the northern end of Green

ThisWeek Community Newspapers Meadows Drive in Orange Town-

Residents are protesting American Electric Power’s plan to install a new transmission substation in Trenton and Berkshire townships. AEP officials on June 27 told Delaware County commissioners the substation is needed because of increased electric demand and the retirement of several older generation plants. The substation will be east of Joe Walker Road and south of state Route 37. AEP officials said it will be similar to a substation

ship. AEP has two possible design layouts, designated “red” and “blue.” It will choose a preferred and alternate design when the proposal is presented to the Ohio Power Siting Board by August. The blue design would have two sites, one 23.48 acres and one 13.93 acres. The red design would have a 32-acre site and a 4.75-acre site. The submission process takes eight or nine months, AEP proj-

City readies for July 4 celebration

Summer Academy

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Valerie Keller, 10, works on a website to post the pictures she shot during a digital photography class at Delaware City School’s Summer Academy at Hayes High School June 23. Participants in the five-day program chose from 18 classes, including television production, scrapbooking and dance.

A cast ranging from baton-twirling children to World War II veterans is scheduled to appear in the city of Delaware’s annual July 4 parade. The parade is among the city’s list of events for its annual celebration, which also will include fireworks and a performance by the Central Ohio Symphony. The annual parade is sponsored by the Delaware County Farm Bureau. The parade will leave the Liberty Street gate of the Delaware County Fairgrounds at 3 p.m., march east on Pennsylvania Avenue to Sandusky Street, and south on Sandusky to Wilmer Street. Carolyn Slone, parade chair and Farm Bureau member, said 83 groups were in last year’s parade, which lasted an hour and 20 minutes. She expects at least that many groups for this year’s parade.

Residents protest substation plans IMMUNIZE ON TIME Continued from page A1 ect manager Scott Joseph said. After AEP submits its application, two public hearings will be held. Joseph said AEP chose the site because of the proximity to the existing 765-kilovolt transmission line and the-345 kilovolt transmission grid to the south of the project. The red layout would cost an estimated $156 million, while the blue layout would cost an estimated $158 million. First-year property tax revenue is predicted to be $7.619 million for the blue layout and $7.493 million for the red layout. Joseph said property-tax revenue would go to Berkshire Township, Trenton Township, Community Library, Delaware County, Delaware County 911

District, Delaware General Health District, Delaware County Area Career Center, Delaware-Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board and Preservation Parks of Delaware County. He said a public information meeting was May 12 in Sunbury. AEP used public feedback to modify the red and blue layouts, moving them farther away from residential areas. Berkshire Township resident Carole Watson told ThisWeek she fears the substation would produce unhealthy emissions and magnetic waves. She is also worried about possible fires or explosions. Watson lives on state Route 37, and says the substation would be behind her property. “It’s going to just depreciate any real estate market whatsoever,” she said. Joseph said there are no emis-

sions from any AEP substation. Susan Barkeloo, who lives on state Route 37 in Trenton Township, said she’ll be about 900 feet away from the substation should AEP choose the blue layout. Barkeloo said she talked to several real estate agents who said the substation would negatively impact her property. Like Watson, she’s also worried about safety. “It’s kind of dangerous,” she said. Joseph said mounds about 20 feet tall will be constructed along the west property line. The same type of mounds are planned for the north property line, along state Route 37. The mounds will help deflect any sound, he said. Substations emit a hum, primarily from transformers and cooling fans. AEP will use low-noise transformers, he said. Joseph said AEP’s equipment

has failed in the past. “It’s not common, but it has happened,” he said. With improved designs, the chance of failed equipment is slim. “The chance of that happening is very extremely remote,” he said. Magnetic fields weaken with distance, Joseph said, saying nothing conclusive has been proven by any epidemiology studies sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute, of which AEP is a member, and universities. Commissioner Ken O’Brien told ThisWeek if AEP constructs mounds, he would be in favor of the project. He said he is nervous about the lack of checks and balances at the local level, saying AEP could do whatever it wishes with the project “regardless of whether I have a problem with it or not.”

While living here she became part of an important breeding program. She mothered 20 eaglets that were released into the wild. Then in 2008 we received great news that bald eagles were down listed to Threatened in Ohio! Here’s a picture of one of her eaglets born at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Juvenile eagles look very different from adult eagles. The eagle’s first feathers are all brown, including their head and tail; like this picture of Cheyenne who lives at the Zoo too. They also have a dark beak that turns yellow as they mature. These changes take place during the first five years of their life.

Two grand marshals are named each year, a member of the community and a family from the Farm Bureau. This year, the Randy Leienberger family of Ashley was named, along with Argo, the police dog for the Delaware police department canine unit. “We’re really excited about that,” Slone said. Lee Yoakum, city community affairs coordinator, said this is the first time he can recall that an animal was named as grand marshal for a Delaware parade. The parade will feature a variety of entries, from church groups to antique vehicles and tractors. The Delaware Hayes High School marching band and DDS Victory drum band also will participate. Slone said the parade will include “just about every age group.” At 7:30 p.m. the Central Ohio Symphony will perform its annual concert in Phillips Glen on the

Ohio Wesleyan University campus. Lawn seating is free, and limited seating is available in front of the stage for $5. In case of rain, the event will be held inside Branch Rickey Arena. Four soloists from Delaware Hayes High School, who were the leads in their musical “Phantom of the Opera,” will participate in a medley featuring music from the Andrew Lloyd Webber show. The concert also will include background music composed by Elmer Bernstein for the movie “Ghostbusters.” Also included will be a musical tribute to the Civil War and Sept. 11, 2001. “I’m hoping that that’s both moving and joyous at the same time,” executive director Warren Hyer said. The city’s fireworks show will begin at 10 p.m., with public viewing areas along Henry Street and the OWU practice fields. The village of Sunbury plans events for July 4, including:

be setting a precedent for all posterity, but especially for my own. “I want to be a role model,” I’d have said. “I want to set an example for any daughters I might have, that you don’t have to do what society expects you to do.” Oh, yeah? It’s true that both daughters were married in the grass of our own front yard, one of them by a Unitarian minister, but there all comparisons end. The ceremony my older daughter and her husband worked out with the assistance of said minister was among the most affecting, emotional and meaningful wedding services I’ve ever heard. My younger daughter was married by her father-in-law, an Episcopal pastor, in another ceremony noteworthy for its genuine emotion, not just on the parts of the principal players but on those of half a dozen others as well. Frankly, we all were wrecks. On the whole, after 35 years, I think my husband and I did the right thing at the right time in the right way for us. As for our daughters, when it came their turn to choose, they made their own choices. Who needed role models? Not those girls.

anymore. It was only in the 1960s and ‘70s that flouting c o nve n t i o n seemed important enough to work at, at MARGO least for a BARTLETT while. Convention decreed that people marry in their early 20s? Well, then, we wouldn’t. Convention decreed a church wedding, preceded by showers and followed by trips that involved flying to someplace with a beach? We walked to the park and then went camping. Convention decreed an exchange of rings, preferably with an engagement ring to start the ball rolling? We never so much as discussed the ring question; rings never came up until months – possibly years – after our wedding. In fact, it might have been our daughters who, once born, grew up, learned to speak, noticed our ringless hands and inquired about them. Had anyone asked me back in those days of convention-flouting why I was spurning, say, a more traditional wedding in favor of a casual three-minute ceremony in a crowded public park, I’m pretty sure I would have claimed to

Just thinking

Somehow, my husband and I and both of our daughters and sonsin-law all celebrate wedding anniversaries in June. I know, how conventional of us. If I were pushed to explain three June, weddings – that’s June as in croon, tune, honeymoon – I could only shake my head helplessly. In fact, I’m shaking my head right now, just thinking about it. A June wedding! I was a disgrace to my generation, which was of course the generation of Woodstock, though I didn’t go there, and San Francisco’s Summer of Love, though I didn’t go there either, and the Broadway musical “Hair,” that told our story, at least as accurately as the musical “Oklahoma!” told the story of the Oklahoma territory. In fact, my husband and I did see “Hair;” we saw it in London in the early 1970s and we were astonished to find ourselves stung by the anti-American sentiment both on the stage and in the audience. The unpopular Vietnam War was ongoing, of course; we didn’t like it ourselves but hadn’t expected to experience a surge of patriotism while on foreign soil. But there it was: We left the theater and went back to our bed and breakfast, not quite outraged but not entirely happy either. Had we seen “Hair” in New York City, where the reaction of our fellow Americans wouldn’t have troubled us, would that have made choosing a moon-tune-June wedding seem like selling out? Or would we have run out of patience with the countercultural movement and all its strictures – which were as regulated in their way as the so-called establishment was in its? At any rate, when we suddenly decided to get married it happened to be June, and it was still June when we walked to Columbus’Schiller Park, accompanied by half a dozen friends and a Unitarian minister. Besides, it wasn’t a wedding. It was one elderly clergyman away from a civil ceremony. As for our daughters, well, it hardly matters when weddings are

Former Nestlé plant site slated for demolition By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In about a month, Sunbury’s former Nestlé plant will receive a cleanup. Village administrator Dave Martin on June 30 told village council Nestlé property owner Dan Cashman plans to use Complete Clearing of Marengo to demolish the former factory on South Columbus Street. “They’re going to tear down everything but the warehouse,” Martin said. The brick, block and concrete will be crushed and sold. Demolition will start in about a month and will take about six

months to complete. Property owner Dan Cashman could not be reached for comment by press time. Cashman purchased the 275-acre property in 1996 from Nestle. Since then, most of the land was used for a Dominion Home development. Also at the council meeting, Martin described price estimates for solar-powered flashing school zone signs. Martin recommended installing six signs at three locations, facing both directions on each road. The locations are on Miller Drive at the school zone boundaries for General Rosecrans Elementary School, on South

Columbus Street for Big Walnut Elementary School, and on Cheshire Road at the entrance to the new middle school. The Cheshire Road sign facing west would be outside the village, and Martin said he’s asking the county to pay for it. Martin said he obtained two estimates, both at about $3,250 per sign. Council member David Linnabary said since Sunbury wants to promote itself as a pedestrian-friendly area, the village eventually would want the signs. Council member Thomas Zalewski said he was “for them 100 percent.” Council member Jennifer Witt said it would be nice to supply residents with

DELAWARE CITY COUNCIL Continued from page A1 ing services Bill Ferrigno show pothole repair being done as recently as this year. Storm sewer and drainage improvements were made from 2006 to 2010. In 2005, the south end of Grandview was reconstructed to provide a dedicated left-turn lane, with curbing and storm improvements. In 2003, a multiway stop sign at the Grandview-Barrett intersection was installed at the request of the residents. The public works committee will discuss the petition at its July 5 meeting, and council will discuss it on July 11. Also during the meeting, council voted to approve changes to the boundaries of its four wards. The wards are supposed to be evenly divided, based on population.

Outgoing city attorney Dan Bennington, who retired June 30, said ward two now has about 30 percent of the population while ward three has less than 20 percent. “That’s a substantial deviation from what would be fair,” he said. The eastern boundary of ward one and the western boundary of ward four moved somewhat to the west to compensate. This same shift occurred with the boundary separating wards two and three. Finally, several blocks of the Ohio Wesleyan University were transferred from ward two to ward three. Ward four had a slight population increase. In ward three, the biggest change was the inclusion of Ohio Wesleyan University dormitory space. The wards were last changed in 2001 after the 2000 U.S. Census, said community affairs coordinator Lee Yoakum.

All locations except Cheshire Road have signs designating a 20 mph school zone speed limit during school hours. Martin said Cheshire Road has a 35 mph speed limit. During non-restricted hours, the speed limits at Miller Drive and South Columbus Street are 35 and 25 mph, respectively. Martin also told council about a quote from the McLean Co. of $33,250 for a 110-gallon crack sealing unit. Sunbury currently contracts out its crack sealing, spending about $40,000 in 2010. The

Galena allows changes in future mayoral pay By JENNIFER BOYTAR ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Galena Village Council on June 27 passed a resolution changing the mayor’s compensation. The resolution won’t take effect until another mayor’s term of office begins. Mayor Tom Hopper recommended council pass the resolution after the second reading rather than wait for the third reading and passing it with emergency language. Using emergency language would have removed the public right to referendum. “If you wait until the third reading, it has to be passed as an emergency in order to become effec-

tive, and that will remove the right to referendum,” he said. “I’d like to preserve that right if at all possible.” The resolution keeps the mayor’s base pay scale at $4,800 per year, and allows increases at council’s discretion. Village solicitor Ken Molnar initially proposed the resolution. Fiscal officer Marty Mazzie said the village has received some money from delinquent sewer customers, and is still owed nearly $15,500. She said of the roughly 228 accounts, 42 are delinquent, including six residences in bankruptcy or foreclosure. The village is working to es-

tablish a policy that will give the administration more authority to go after delinquent accounts. If an account is one or more days delinquent, a 10-percent late fee will be assessed; after 30 days, notification will be sent that a lien has been placed against the property; and after 100 or more days, service will be terminated. Once service is terminated, property owners will have to pay the past-due bill as well as a reconnection fee to have the water and sewer service restored. A public meeting will be held during the July 25 council meeting to discuss options for the Walnut Street reconstruction (phase three) grant application process.

SCHOOL BOARD Continued from page A1 The UE represents district bus drivers, maintenance and custodial staff, and cafeteria workers. While 17 teaching positions will be eliminated, Craft said the savings allow the district to rehire six first-year teachers.

The board earlier agreed to place a five-year, 8.3-mill emergency operating levy on the November ballot. If approved, the operating levy would generate about $6 million per year and would cost district homeowners $260 per year per $100,000 of property value.

Council has discussed the idea of building the remainder of the street as a permeable surface that would help eliminate stormwater runoff. Phase two of the project was delayed by rain, but paving should begin this week if the weather holds. In other business, council members: • Passed a three-year extension for the Estates at Blackhawk development plan. • Heard the village has been approved for 24-hour technical assistance grant by the Ohio Water Resources Council-Balanced Growth Ohio for the purpose of developing a smart-growth subdivision code.

County extends mental health transport agreement By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Delaware County has extended an agreement to provide secure transportation of patients for mental health hospital care. County commissioners on June 27 approved a mental health emergency security and transport service agreement extension among the commissioners, the county sheriff, Grady Memorial Hospital and the Delaware-Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board. The agreement is in effect from July 1 through June 30, 2012. The agreement allows special-duty sheriff’s deputies to transport patients suffering mental health emergencies from Grady to other hospitals with mental health care. It also provides additional security for a patient at Grady exhibiting risky behavior. Since Grady has no inpatient psychiatric ward, patients can only be admitted to the emergency room and transferred out, said recovery services executive director Steve Hodge. Though Grady has its own security service, it doesn’t leave the hospital. All deputies who participate in the agreement take intervention team training to learn how to deal with psychiatric emergencies. Deputies are paid $34 per hour. Delaware-Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board pays the fee. Hodge said the service has been used 46 times

In brief July 4 parade will include food drive People In Need Inc. of Delaware County will collect non-perishable food items during the July Fourth parade on Monday. The parade will leave the Liberty Street gate of the Delaware County Fairgrounds at 3 p.m., march east on Pennsylvania Avenue to Sandusky Street, and south on Sandusky to Wilmer St. Parade attendees are encouraged to bring food items, which will be collected by PIN volunteers who will walk the parade route with grocery carts. This is the second year that the nonprofit will accept food during the parade. Last year, PIN collected enough food to provide more than 70,000 meals, according to a news release from PIN.

during the past seven months. Commissioners also approved an agreement with developer Margello Development Co. regarding roads planned in Estates of River Run in Liberty Township. Because the Estates is a private development, the streets would remain private and Margello would assume the project cost. Commissioner Ken O’Brien voted against the agreement, saying he wanted the Delaware County Regional Planning Commission to have a chance to review the project before it was implemented. O’Brien asked county engineer Chris Bauserman if the RPC had signed off on the project. Bauserman said it hadn’t, since the roads aren’t yet developed. O’Brien also said he didn’t understand why the project was before the commissioners, because it’s a private road. Bauserman said the commissioners must approve the recording of the plat, according to the Ohio Revised Code. The recording won’t take place until the streets are completed. The RPC also must approve the plat recording. Commissioners also approved a memorandum of understanding between the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and Delaware, Hancock, Knox, Marion, Morrow, Sandusky and Wood county boards of commissioners and their respective county departments of jobs and family services for the Collabor8 Pilot Project, a virtual call center project.

Heather Kamann & ThisWeek Sell Home & Find Buyers

I needed to sell my house due to a change in my job/ďŹ nancial status; however, my home value had declined since I purchased several years ago. Heather diligently worked with my lender to negotiate a short sale and she stuck with me every step of the way. Her marketing strategy gave my home a great amount of exposure, and her persistence helped move the short sale process along quickly. Because of the work of Heather and her team, I was able to avoid a possible foreclosure and can now move forward in my life. Heather is an exceptional realtor and I am very grateful to her for her continuous hard work, dedication, and constant commitment to helping me through the short sale process. Thanks Heather!

Wrestling

Weight classes adjusted for next season By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers Some area high school wrestling coaches aren’t pleased with the new guidelines for weight classes but realize their teams will need to adapt. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) approved the changes during its meeting April 46 in Indianapolis. Tim Stried, director of information services for the Ohio High School Athletic Association, said the changes will

be in effect for the coming season. It is the first significant change in weight classes in 23 years. The lowest weight class, 103 pounds, is being increased to 106, which resulted in new weights in 10 of the 14 classes. The new weight classes are 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285. Only 145, 152, 160 and 285 remain unchanged. The previous weight classes were 103, 112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215 and 285.

“The NFHS has been studying the weight classes in wrestling for several years to determine which weight classes are most appropriate for today’s student-athletes across the country that will result in fewer classes going unfilled,” Stried said. “These new weight classes are the result of countless hours of data analysis by the NFHS, and Ohio will certainly comply with the new weight classes. Like anything, it will take some time for our member schools to be comfortable with the changes, but we can all appreciate that the NFHS is trying to do the

right thing for kids.” Westerville North coach David Grant is concerned that the increase in the lowest weight to 106 will adversely affect lighter competitors. Grant said his 103-pounder last season, Santino DiSabato, weighed between 85 and 90 pounds, but now is moving closer to 106 in preparation for next season. “I don’t like the weight class changes because it hurts the kids that are little,” Grant said. “I have Santino DiSabato, who had a hard time making 103. Now

they take it to 106, so it hurts the younger kids, the freshmen. You’re going to have a lot of kids not able to be competitive at that weight. They’re too young, too little.” Hilliard Davidson coach Dominic DiSabato, Santino’s uncle, is not in favor of the shift in weight classes. “For our program, I’m not a big fan of it,” he said. “We’ll try to get every weight class filled and then wrestle. It will hurt us in duals. Hopefully, we have a couple See WRESTLING, page B2

Athletes strive to excel in school

Brown enjoyed playing year in Sweden

Last week, the student-athletes writing in my summer series discussed the importance of balancing their time to prepare for and excel in both the classroom and in competition. This week, the seniors-tobe are focusing on the importance of having a good academic LARRY record. LARSON Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “In school, if you study and work hard, good grades will come; you can always count on that. In sports, even if you practice hard and play hard, you cannot always play well or perform well just because of the substantial amount of luck it involves. Studying has always got your back, sports do not.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Academic success really helps in the long run, especially with colleges who love it when you can make an impact both on and off the field.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “My goal was always to play Division I golf at a school with strong academics. Coaches definitely look at your grade-point average and standardized test scores, so be prepared.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “Grades are very important because they only help you look better as an athlete and as a successful person.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I always have felt as though someone with a good academic record shows a great amount of potential for strong leadership. In this world, you are either leading your own life or waiting for someone to do it for you. You don’t want that.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “A strong academic record is important because it allows you to keep your options open for college and beyond. It is also important to remember that sports are just a segment of life and so I strive to be a well-rounded person.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “Colleges look at your whole schooling career, not just one year. You have much better chances being a great student than being a great athlete.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “Great academics can open up many doors if you are seeking to play sports at the college level. Even if playing at the next level isn’t your dream, good grades and good test scores are essential for applying to colleges.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “With a good academic record comes great discipline.

Hayes graduate Ashleigh Brown battles Oakland Macomb’s Ashley McClarren for a rebound while playing for the Columbus Hidden Gems on June 12.

Getting paid to play basketball is just part of the reason that Ashleigh Brown likes her job. “I get to travel, see the world and experience a different culture,” said the 2006 Delaware Hayes High School graduate who plays professional women’s basketball in Visby, Sweden. “It’s been a fabulous experience and really opened my eyes a lot.” Brown, who played for Miami University before graduating in 2010, is in her second summer competing for the Columbus Hidden Gems of the Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League. “I was (in Sweden) for eight months and returned home in April,” Brown said. “My team, the Visby Ladies, finished fifth in the (Damligan, which is the highest division in the Swedish leagues). It was a great experience, and I’m really looking forward to returning. Last year, I concentrated so much on my job. I also really missed being away from my family, so I didn’t stay after the season. “I’ll be more comfortable this season, and I plan to stay and experience the culture in the offseason some.” Visby is located on Gotland Island, and Brown said the architecture and sights are breathtaking. In her rookie season, the 5-foot11 guard averaged 12.6 points and 9.2 rebounds. She was among the league’s rebounding leaders for much of the season. She also averaged 1.9 steals and 1.6 assists and shot 51.3 percent from the

Gems story, page B2 field. “I had played in summer leagues with a girl from California, Jeanine Saunders, who played for Visby in 2009,” Brown said. “They had an opening and Jeanine talked to coach Mikael Blomqvist. I went over and did well during my trial period and after a few practices they said that I had what they were looking for.” Brown, who earned the league’s Player of the Week honor three times, said having Saunders there helped her get acclimated. Each team is allowed to have two “import players,” and Saunders was selected as the league’s Import Player of the Year. “I wasn’t sure what I was getting into immediately, but Jeanine was there to help me,” Brown said. “Then I found out that most of the girls speak English and that also helped. “I loved my coach and my teammates and the townspeople were really nice and welcoming. We’ve got a good fan base for sure.” Brown is hoping that the Visby Ladies can win the championship next season. However, she isn’t ready to start thinking about any long-range goals. “I’ve never really thought seriously about playing in the WNBA or anything like that,” she said. “Maybe in two or three years, I’ll think about that. I wouldn’t mind playing in the Euro Cup though. We’ll see how my body holds up and where things are a year or two from now. See BROWN, page B2

Richardson focuses on success off field By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

While many football camps stress Xs and Os, the Jay Richardson Camp at Dublin Scioto High School focused on life skills. The second annual camp, which was held June 24-25, was open to boys ages 11-18. Richardson, a defensive end for the Seattle Seahawks who played at Ohio State and graduated from Scioto in 2002, said he was thrilled that he could hold the camp at his alma mater. The theme of the camp was “There is more to sports than the game,” and Richardson said he was eager to share that message. “This means a lot,” Richardson said. “It’s awesome that the high school was with me on this to get all these kids in here. It’s awesome that we can get the kids educated on what their options are and their future outside of their sport.” Forty-seven boys attended last year’s inaugural camp at American Methodist Episcopal Church on North Hamilton Road in Columbus. There were 104 at this year’s camp at Scioto. “We’re telling the kids there’s more to sports than the game and See LARSON, page B2 if you don’t learn the stuff that’s

Sam Tickle, who served 11 years in the U.S. Navy, began the camp by sharing stories and a video on his completion of 30 sports in 30 cities in 30 days. Tickle’s presentation, part of the EAS Unstoppable Tour, focused on proper sports nutrition and setting and achieving goals. “The one thing that I wanted to push is your brain gives up before your body gives up,” Tickle said. “You can push yourself a lot further when you just set your mind to it. If you’re able to train your brain to realize that pain is just temporary and that if you focus on a goal, your body will perform the way it needs to.” Current and former members of the Ohio State football program also shared their experiBy Chris Parker/ThisWeek ences.

Area players shine for Gems By JARROD ULREY

Tapre Young could have several options in terms of her basketball career if things continue in the direction they’ve been going this summer. Now in her third season as a captain on the Columbus Hidden Gems semi-professional team, the 2004 Dublin Scioto High School graduate is one of the top outside shooters in the Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League. At 5-foot-11, Young averages more than 15 points and has been shooting better than 50 percent from 3-point range. That combination could make her an attractive possibility for overseas teams looking for players for their seasons, which begin in the fall. “I haven’t played anywhere overseas, but hopefully I will after this season,”Young said. “I really wouldn’t mind playing in Spain, France or anywhere in Europe. I’d even consider Australia. Any time you can get paid for what you do, it’s a good thing.” If Young is unable to land a professional contract, she has an offer to serve as an assistant coach for the Talladega (Ala.) College women’s team. After graduating from Scioto, Young played two seasons for Muskingum and two seasons for Salem International, a Division

II school in Salem, W.Va. She then served one season as a student-assistant coach and graduated from Talladega College. Young, who celebrated her 25th birthday June 26, is one of seven players on the Hidden Gems who are central Ohio natives. “(The Women’s Blue Chip League) is good competition, especially when you get to nationals,” Young said. “I like the fact that you get an opportunity to play and it gives you the opportunity to get looked at overseas. It’s a chance to showcase your talents.” After getting off to a 2-0 start, the Hidden Gems were 3-4 after losing to the Cleveland Crush 8474 on June 25. On Saturday, July 2, Columbus will play host to the OaklandMaComb Run from Oakland, Mich., in a Northeast Division game. The Hidden Gems lost to the Run 87-67 on June 5 but won

Jessica Slack, a Thornville Sheridan graduate, averages 13 points. The other central Ohio natives on the Hidden Gems are 1999 Brookhaven graduate Ebony Pegues, 2001 Mifflin graduate Sherrie Griffin, 2006 Africentric graduate Janicia Anderson and 2003 Walnut Ridge graduate Tina Huff. Columbus has three games remaining in the regular season before competing in the regional tournament in late July in Flint, Mich. The national tournament will be held Aug. 6-7 in Atlanta. Poindexter will begin her third season this winter as the girls basketball coach at Walnut Ridge. “I think everything is going OK,” said Poindexter, who is averaging 14 points and five assists. “We’re a whole new team really and we’ve just got to work together better. We’re better than the teams that have beaten us. We don’t have any superstars this year. Our team has a whole lot of heart and we just have to keep our team chemistry. By the time we get to Atlanta, we’ll be fine.”

a rematch 97-85 on June 12. The Hidden Gems play their home games at Lazelle Woods Recreation Center in north Columbus near Worthington. The roles of Young and co-captain Lorrie Poindexter, a 2003 Beechcroft graduate in her second year playing for Columbus, are more extensive than a year ago when former Ohio State player Brandie Hoskins and former Bowling Green player Niki McCoy were among the key players. Jeannie Saunders, who also was a captain a year ago, has been out with an injury but could return in July. Saunders and 2006 Delaware graduate Ashleigh Brown, who has played limited minutes with the Hidden Gems this season because of other commitments, recently signed extensions to play for a team in Sweden in the fall.

“I majored at Miami in English and creative writing and minored in black world studies. When I’m done playing basketball, I’ll make a decision on what I want to do the rest of my life.

to 14 and the 215-pound weight class became mandatory, and in 2006, when the 275-pound class was increased to 285. The NFHS also adopted a rule change involving the figure four hold around the head, which now is illegal. Previously, the figure four was illegal around the body or both legs. “I like the new rule, it will work out,” Grant said. “The figure four is unfair. It’s a pretty big advantage to have that locked up like that. I don’t like the figure four. ... Two legs against the neck is usually not a good idea.” In another change, the boundary line now is considered inbounds. Previously, a wrestler was out of bounds if he or she was touching any part of the line, which is two inches wide. “I like expanding the mat a little bit and having the line inbounds instead of out of bounds,” coach DiSabato said. “I’m just curious how it’s going to be called because of the size of the gyms. The mats are closer together, but you award the aggressor as much as you can and that tends to help out if the line is inbounds rather than out of bounds.”

bigger kids coming out for the team next year and it won’t hurt us as bad as it could have in the past. We just have to have our wrestlers wrestle the best they can. The other schools are in the same position we are.” Marysville coach Shawn Andrews said his program will adapt to the new guidelines, and he believes the changes actually might help his team next season. Andrews said he expects the lower weights to be a strength of his program. “Looking at it selfishly for a year or two, it helps Marysville specifically because it’s where we have more guys than less guys, but in the broad scope of wrestling, it seems a little odd that they took away a weight class from some of the weight classes that are most competitive and then added some at the top,”Andrews said. “It helps some kids from football or some kids who are concerned about losing too much weight between 171 and 189.” According to the NFHS, the last major change in weight classes occurred in 1988, when the lowest class was increased from 98 to 103. The only other changes since then were in 2002, when the fdirenna@thisweeknews.com number of classes went from 13 www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
