November ballot
Sunbury to put utility aggregation to vote By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Sunbury residents on Nov. 8 will vote whether to establish aggregate gas and electric programs in the village. Sunbury Village Council on July 6 voted to put the aggregate services on the ballot. By approving both ballot issues, voters would give the village permission to seek alternate natural gas and
electricity suppliers for village customers. Village officalsspoke with Fred Holmes, director of municipal aggregation at Volunteer Energy Services Inc., at the June 2 council meeting. Volunteer Energy, based in Pickerington, provides natural gas to Fredericktown, Pickerington, Albany, Gallipolis, Pomeroy, Barnesville, Warsaw, Bethesda, St. Clairsville, Bridgeport and Cadiz. If voters approve the aggregation, a

usage plan with terms and conditions of service would be formulated. Two public hearings would be held and an application would be filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, which would issue gas and electric certificates to the village. During council’s meeting, George Owens of Arbor Drive asked the village to make sure residents could opt out of the program. “Nobody is going to tell
me who to buy my gas and electric from,” he said. Holmes told Owens he would have the opportunity to opt out. Volunteer Energy would send letters to residents, giving them 21 days to opt out of Volunteer Energy’s program. While there is no cost to opt out of a natural gas program during the 21 days, Holmes previously said he would have to look into whether there would be a penalty
for opting out after the 21st day. Council also discussed bid specifications being prepared for a new building at the village’s wastewater treatment plant on Southview Drive. Council member David Linnabary told ThisWeek the building would address restrictions the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made on phosSee SUNBURY, page A2
FOURTH OF JULY PARADE
By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Facing a possible $25,000 shortage, the city of Delaware is examining whether it wants to trim its street-sweeping program. In previous years, the city contracted out spring and fall street sweeping and used an in-house street sweeper and city staff for extra events and emergencies, said public works director Tim Browning. While the spring and fall sweeping came out of storm sewer funds, the in-house sweeping came out of the general fund. After the street sweeper was retired, the city opted to contract out the extra sweeping for the first time this year. Spring and fall cleaning of the entire community will consume the vast majority of the $65,000 budgeted for 2011, Browning said. The city’s extra street-sweeping events consist of cleaning for community events, plus sweeping the downtown and sweeping debris after any emergencies. Browning said the city does about two emergency sweeps per year on average. This year, rain and wind brought down trees and gravel in roadways. While street sweepers are expensive to maintain, “they’re nice to have, especially for emergency events,” Browning said. He said city staffing levels have been slightly reduced, making it harder to commit to an in-house street-sweeping program. At the moment, Browning said, the best choice is to contract out services. The city has seven laborers and one supervisor in its street maintenance division. Browning said the primary function of street sweeping is to keep debris out of storm sewers and waterways. “I don’t think our existing program by any means is excessive,” he said. At its July 5 meeting, the city’s public works committee looked at the services already provided to see where cost-saving improvements could be made, said committee chair Chris Jones. “We don’t want to disrupt anything that See STREET SWEEPING, page A2

Kiwanis project to teach proper child seat set-up By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Area Kiwanis clubs have raised funds to help keep children safe while riding in cars. The Kiwanis Club of Powell, the Delaware County Kiwanis Noon Club and the Delaware Kiwanis Evening Club each donated $200 to the Friends for Life Fund of the Delaware General Health District, said Jesse Carter, DGHD spokesperson. Club members also requested and received a $1,000 grant from the Ohio District Kiwanis Foundation for the fund. Those donations paid for a set of six life-size dolls used to demonstrate
proper car- and booster-seat installation and the proper way for a child to sit in those seats, Carter said. One doll is the size of a premature infant. Heights of the others are 13, 17, 38, 48 and 57 inches. Carter said they are “weighted and articulated to resemble a child that size.” The dolls have a lot of advantages over using the actual children for these demonstrations. “The children aren’t always in a frame of mind where they want to be cooperative,” said Carter. “The dolls are another tool to make sure that children are riding safely. The more tools like that we have, the better job

Principal named for new Big Walnut Middle School By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Penny Sturtevant is the principal of the new Big Walnut Middle School, which will open for the 2011-2012 school year.

The new Big Walnut Middle School will open for the 2011-12 school year with Penny Sturtevant as principal. She was promoted to the position after principal Angie Pollock was named the district’s director of academic achievement. The board of education approved the employment changes in June. Sturtevant began working with the district in 1994, serving as a high school counselor and department chair. For one year, 2010-11, she was assistant principal of both the high
school and middle school. She became assistant high school principal three years ago. She has been in the field of education for 24 years, and started her career working with “severely and profoundly handicapped people in an institution setting.” She moved to teaching sevenththrough 12th-grade science at Danville Local Schools in Knox County, and then worked as a counselor at Utica Junior High in the North Fork Local School District. Excited by the opportunity to work with middle school students, Sturtevant said, “This is a time in (middle school) students’life where

we can still affect their skill level. ... They’re growing and changing, and at the educational level we can give them an opportunity to hone in on weaknesses they have or find those strengths they have before they move on to the high school level.” Having been a counselor brings a positive component to her experience, she said, because a principal’s role at times requires those skills. “It’s that immediacy. Sometimes it’s a kid in trouble or a parent bringing up a question,” she said. “You can discipline a probSee NEW PRINCIPAL, page A5

— called “CHAD” — to place on the bottoms or backs of the car seats, said Judy Lamp, president of the Delaware Kiwanis Evening Club. “The ID stickers go on an infant car seat or booster seat. They are placed in the back or underneath, so are not seen from the window, and they give pertinent
SUNBURY VILLAGE COUNCIL Continued from page A1 phorus emissions from the plant. The building, which will be preconstructed, will house the chemicals needed to reduce the phosphorus levels. The project is slated to cost $95,000 for design and construction and will be completed this year. Rich Fulton, superintendent of the village’s wastewater treatment plant, told ThisWeek the village will reduce its phosphorus levels probably by January, as soon as the new 150-square-foot building is ready. The village will use about 350 gallons of sodium aluminate per month to reduce phosphorus levels. Fulton said he doesn’t yet know what the cost per gallon will be. The village currently averages about two to three milligrams per liter of phosphorus in the plant’s outgoing waste water. Phosphorus levels will be reduced to 1
milligram per liter. The water empties into Prairie Run. The village also plans to do asphalt point repairs on sections of Granville and Cherry streets and Fayburrow and Prairie Run drives. The cost will be around $23,000. Council also: • Renewed the employment contract for village solicitor David Brehm for $81,308. The contract will begin Sept. 3 and extends for two years with no salary increase. • Authorized a sale of equipment, tools and supplies that are at the village’s former water treatment plant. The sale will be sometime this year. • Approved a $16,625 purchase order for five solar-powered flashing school zone signs. There will be six signs at three locations, facing both directions on each road. The locations are on Miller Drive at the school zone boundaries for Gen. Rosecrans Elementary School, on South Colum-

For example, the city probably needs to sweep only after a parade, as opposed to before and after, he said. Browning said he’s preparing a list of sweeps that are storm-
sewer-related versus sweeps that could be considered aesthetic. He will submit the list to city manager Tom Homan. The public works committee could either review the list again, or city council could discuss it. The lists will help determine whether to trim services or spend more money for the same amount of service, he said. “We’re still in the decisionmaking process,” he said.

information about the child in the event that the adults in the car are not able to speak on behalf of the child,” Lamp said. “Heaven forbid there’s an accident and no one in the vehicle is able to communicate with responders,” Carter said. “When they pull that car seat out, there is a sticker identifying the child and who the emergency contacts are, where they live and contact numbers. When we do a seat check, we will offer these stickers to parents. It’s another layer of safety.” Prevention of pediatric trauma is one of the objectives of the Ohio District Kiwanis, said Lynn
Hanna Stoycheff, president of the Kiwanis Club of Powell. “We started doing the CHAD stickers, car seat inspections and we bought the training dolls so they could try to reach more people,” Stoycheff said. “The dolls also help if there’s (a language barrier). They help inspectors show the person how to properly install the car seat and get the child in the car seat.” In addition to the full set of dolls, which cost $477, the funds will be used to purchase demonstration seats, printed educational materials, flags to mark the carseat events and a cover for the demonstration table, Carter said.
“When we help our children, we help ourselves,” Lamp said. “Whether it’s helping one child go to a leadership conference or (sponsoring) Circle K clubs for college students and helping meet their needs or just letting them know, even though they’re away at college, that there’s someone here who cares,” she said. The Kiwanis Club welcomes anyone wanting to help with the club’s goals, said Stoycheff. People interested in more information about the clubs in the area can call her at (614) 361-0929.

Commentary & opinion Just thinking
Taking care of business is an everyday chore No one can accuse me of letting my health responsibilities slide. In the last six weeks, I’ve undergone a colonoscopy, a bone density scan, and a mammogram, in addition to business-as-usual visits to the dentist and my ob/gyn. Oh, and I donated blood, which is like a health check in itself: blood pressure, temperature, iron level check and questions about Creutzfeld-Jacob disease and if I’m feeling well today. They do the same for you too, of course, if you donate; it’s a wonderful break from the hurly-burly world. In fact, the whole six weeks was slightly spalike, not that that was my intention. Over the years, I’ve allowed myself to be gently prodded into making necessary appointments in the summer, and naturally, it’s summer when they come around again. Then there was the poison ivy that sent me to my family physician, who frankly seemed disappointed that I wasn’t the mass of leaking blisters he expected. In fact, my condition, while admittedly mild, would have been described as global were I a planet. Put another way, I reminded myself of nothing so much as a spotted pup, but this was difficult to convey while sitting fully dressed in an examination room. Still, my prescription for what turned out to be a soothing cream seems to be doing the job, though I do suspect that poison ivy is the inspiration for the carnival game Whack a Mole. You know, whack it here and it pops up there, whack it there and it pops up someplace else and so on. I must say, with all this preventive care going on I’ve been spending lots of time in the hospital lately, more than some surgeons, and because of that I’ve made a few observations. First, hospital workers are helpful. Should a person look even slightly confused for a fleeting moment, a passing worker will invariably offer assistance. What’s more, the passing worker can offer assistance. Instead of frowning and saying, “Bone density? Hmm … Sorry, I guess I can’t help you after all,” every last Who from the tall to the small is knowledgeable without even pausing at all. They point, direct, lead, even escort, or at least offer to escort with every semblance of sincerity. Another thing. Radiologists cheerfully explain what they’re doing without being patronizing about it. They apologize for cold rooms and/or cold hands. The woman who did my mammogram just this morning told a story about learning to use everchanging radiology equipment that was flat-out hilarious. (Oh, all right, I’ll tell it: The new equip-
ment’s on/off switch was precisely where a light had been on the old machine. And although she tried to remember, she kept trying to turn on the light by hitting the switch on the underside of the platform … and shutting down the entire unit, which MARGO would then need several minutes BARTLETT to reboot.) It’s rare to hear myself barking with laughter in the middle of a mammogram, but I did today. I almost told my own story, of driving a new car whose headlights were precisely where the old car’s windshield wipers had been. So on a dark, rainy night, a night when I was driving my two daughters and several other women to southern Ohio for my younger daughter’s bachelorette party weekend in the woods, I continuously tried to adjust the windshield wipers by turning off the headlights. But don’t worry! They wouldn’t be off for more than half a second, because everyone else in the car would set off an alarm the instant the road ahead plunged into darkness. “Sorry! Sorry!” I’d say, trying not to sound like a nitwit when it was obvious that I was one. I could just imagine my new best friend, the radiologist, saying “Sorry! Sorry!” as the digital mammography unit sank into a horrifying silence. For the third time. In fact, after all these weeks of running in and out of the hospital as if I were delivering babies in there, I have just one tiny … not a complaint, really. It was more the kind of thing some people take pictures of to send to their friends. I never think of that in time, so I’ll have to describe it instead: In the hospital’s long, wide entrance hallway, which is covered in beautiful wood, or maybe in beautiful not-wood, was one of those square utilitarian mats. The mat wasn’t near a threshold, or near a wet spot or near anything, really. It seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. On the mat was a squat plastic sign. “Trip hazard,” the sign said. I looked at the mat, and I looked at the sign. If the mat was a trip hazard, why not just pick it up? That’s what I wondered. I didn’t know the answer. But I suppose that’s because, for all the time I’ve been spending at the hospital, I’m not really a doctor. Margo Bartlett may be reached at mbartlett@ thisweeknews.com.

Watching for elusive wildlife I have always been fascinated by beavers and their dam-building talent, although the only time I have seen one up-close is within the confines of a zoo or wildlife center. That seems strange to me when I think of the many times I have been just on the verge of seeing one of these elusive creatures. During walks along ponds and streams in various Midwest forests, beavers seem always to have slipped just past my field of vision. I’d hear the gentle splash of the water — surely made by a beaver sliding into the stream — and think, “I would have spotted him if only I’d been looking a little to the left.” Or, I’d hear what had to be the slap of a broad tail against water and I’d think, “Why was I distracted by that bird? Great — I missed again.” My interest in beavers ebbed and flowed, depending on where my travels took me, but interest grew when my family moved to Delaware County and I spotted signs of beavers near the offices of Alum Creek State Park. My fascination has really resurged since we at Preservation Parks opened our new wildlife blind at Char-Mar Ridge Preserve a couple of months ago. Now, the possibility of me spotting a real life beaver has increased. I know that beavers are somewhere in the Char-Mar Ridge pond because I’ve seen the evidence. In March, a park district naturalist led an off-trail walk around the pond, and along the shore, we saw the tell-tale gnawed-upon small- and medium-sized trees. Looking a lot like sharpened pencils, the trees were chewed off at about beaver height (two or so feet off the ground — so I guess the beavers were on hind paws while they were chewing.) We also spotted freshly chewed branches among debris floating on the pond — and, through binoculars, spotted an earthen overhang where the beavers just might be taking up residence. Unfortunately, our hike was during the day and beavers are normally nocturnal, so we knew our chances of seeing them were slim. And — disappointed — we did
not see any. So I could only imagine their busy lives. A stickand-mud lodge could have been in the SUE Char-Mar Ridge pond HAGAN for years, with a beaver couple — having mated for life — living happily in its watery confines. Each year, the pair’s litter of kits would reach maturity, help “raise” their younger brothers and sisters, and eventually move off to build their own lodges — maybe in nearby Hoover Reservoir. They would continually harvest trees, felling small ones in a bite or two and chewing through a couple of larger trees in a night’s time. The animals would dine on the tender cambium layer, their main source of nutrition. Then, industrious creatures that they are, the beavers would not waste the rest of the tree. It would become part of a dam or would be used to repair a lodge. Their dam, possibly four or five feet high, might push water into the neighboring woods, creating a wetland that would support a myriad of wildlife, including fish, turtles, frogs, insects and other creatures that rely on wetlands for survival. My imagination can see all of that, even if the actual beaver re-
mains elusive. I do believe I’ll see one someday, which is not something I could have said 100 years ago. Before Europeans arrived in North America, millions upon millions of beavers roamed the land. But the profitable fur trade — especially the heavy trapping between 1750 and 1800 — decimated the population. Later, as wet land (which the beavers like) was drained for farming and other development (which needs dry land), beavers almost became extinct. By 1830, there were no beavers in Ohio, and it would be more than 100 years before one was again seen in the state. The first was spotted in Ashtabula County in 1936, and the species has gradually returned as its habitat has been restored. In 2007, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources estimated the population at about 27,000 statewide, and nationwide estimates put the number at about 14 million. So I remain hopeful. One day, I’m sure, that slap of a tail against the water will grab my attention at just the right time, and there — before my eyes — will be a beaver busy at work. Sue Hagan is marketing and communications manager for Preservation Parks of Delaware County.

Sunbury updates ordinance on sexually oriented business By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
After more than 25 years, the village of Sunbury revised its ordinance for sexually oriented businesses. Sunbury Village Council approved the ordinance at its July 6 meeting. Council member Sean Currie and Mayor Len Weatherby were absent. The village’s ordinance was last updated in 1985. Sunbury has no sexually oriented businesses and none has expressed interest in the village, village attorney David Brehm said. “We’re just being proactive,” he said. The revisions are significantly different from the current two-
page ordinance, Brehm said. The information, modeled after the Ohio Attorney General’s Office’s guidelines, makes the ordinance more in-depth and current. “It’s significantly different,” Brehm said. The initial business filing fee for a license will be $250, while the annual renewal fee will be $100. The initial filing fee for an employee license will be $100, and the annual renewal fee will be $75. While a special permit currently is required for an adult bookstore or an adult motion picture theatre, no fee is specified, Brehm said. Under the new ordinance, employees are restricted to semi-nudity and must stand at least six feet from patrons unless they’re sepa-
rated by an impenetrable barrier such as glass or Plexiglas. The ordinance prohibits those under 18 years of age to be on the premises. Among other restrictions, sexually oriented businesses can be open between midnight and noon. Businesses with liquor permits, however, can remain open until the hour specified in the permits as long as there are no nude performances. Sexually oriented businesses or adult entertainment businesses are not allowed to operate within 1,000 feet of a residential district, library, educational institution, park, recreational facility, religious place of worship, child care or day care facility, playground, swimming pool or planned unit development with residential housing.
NEW PRINCIPAL Continued from page A1 lem, but that’s just putting a consequence to a behavior. Your ultimate goal is changing the behavior, and typically, to change it, you have to figure out why it’s occurring. The guidance perspective gave me more insight to look beyond the behavior.” It also helps when working with the staff, knowing how to recognize and capitalize on people’s strengths, she said. She’s glad to have built the high school master class schedule for a number of years, which will help in her position as principal. “I was looking at the intricacies of the curriculum and how you get kids into courses they need, or how the courses connect and build on each other,” she said. It allowed her to develop management skills above the disciplinarian aspect of the assistant principal’s role, she said. The first challenge of her new position will be opening the new building, she said. “I’ve learned more about what kind of wax goes on what kind of floor,” she said. “And I’m enjoying it.” Another challenge will be changing the student data system.
The district will begin using PowerSchool, a web-based student information system. The most important challenge and the “reasons we’re here are the kids and the learning,” she said. Sturtevant has been impressed with the middle school’s sense of community in her year as assistant principal at both the middle and high schools. She wants to see that “welcoming and supportive sense” continue. “The new building is a twostory building and my concern is that it will have a disjointed feeling, and it will be important for us to have some times where we pull back together to keep that sense of family, because that’s a real asset,” she said. Sturtevant lives in the Big Walnut district with her family. Her husband, Jim, is a social studies teacher at Big Walnut High School. They have two grown sons Jason and David, and a daughter, Maria, who will be a sophomore in the fall at the high school. The district is planning a dedication of the new middle school building at 777 Cheshire Road on Aug. 15. The time will be announced as the date draws near.
Violators will be fined between $500 to $1,000 for each offense. “The current legislation does not specify a penalty,” Brehm said. In other village news, Sunbury will remove the skate park at J.R. Smith Park at the recommendation of the village’s property and casualty insurance carrier, Ohio Risk Management Inc. Following an inspection of the equipment, an April letter from Ohio Risk Management to the village described parts of the equipment as rotting, missing or uneven, and suggests that the most effective way to minimize the potential for loss would be to remove the equipment. The used equipment was donated to Sunbury by Bexley in 2004.

Strong mindset key for athletes
By Adam Cairns/ThisWeek
Caleb Wilburn, a 2009 Hayes graduate, connects with a pitch during a game in his senior season. After stops in Tennessee and West Virginia, Wilburn is playing this summer for the Chillicothe Capitals of the Ohio Independent Collegiate Baseball League. He will play for Allen County (Kan.) Junior College beginning in the fall.
Baseball
Wilburn: ‘It’s now or never’ By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Caleb Wilburn’s life has taken many unexpected turns since he was the Ohio Baseball Coaches Association’s 2009 Division I Player of the Year in his senior season at Delaware Hayes High School. “It’s now or never, my last window of opportunity,” said Wilburn, who will play for Allen County (Kan.) Junior College in the fall and next spring. “I
think I’ve been given things, given opportunities because I have been blessed with talent. I haven’t earned them or lived up to it since I left high school. Now I have to use my talent and the platform to prove what I have.” Wilburn is playing this summer for the Chillicothe Capitals of the Ohio Independent Collegiate Baseball League. Although he admits to being “rusty,” through 12 games he led the Capitals in hitting (.464, 13-for-28), RBI (9), home runs (4) and slugging percentage
(.964). Wilburn’s journey began in Nashville, Tenn., where he started attending Belmont University in fall 2009. He then transferred to Ohio Dominican before spring 2010 and played for the Panthers. “Belmont was great, but I was homesick and really wanted to be with my girlfriend,” Wilburn said. “I went to Ohio Dominican because it was NAIA and I didn’t have to sit out a year. But I was uncomfortable there from the start and just never fit in at the school or in
the program.” So Wilburn chose to attend Marshall University in 2010. Once enrolled, he spoke with the coaching staff and begged to become a walk-on member of the Thundering Herd. “I have family not far from Huntington (W.Va.) and I thought I could just walk on, but they didn’t have any roster spots open and no money for scholarships,” Wilburn said. “I wasn’t See WILBURN, page B2
Top Individual Performances: Nos. 6-10
Area athletes’ dominance 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 that hap-

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 Divi- Larry Larson is a former athsion I state final and exact re- letics director at Grandview venge for a painful defeat with High School.

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 dur-
ing 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
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-confidence im- LARRY pacts their LARSON 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. I believe in what I do and know I can do it, which is why I trust my game and just go out and compete.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Self-confidence is huge when it is time to perform. If you don’t have any self-confidence then you’re out of luck and you are going to have a lot of trouble trying to do what you want to do.” Next week, the student-athletes will tell you about the qualities they like best in a coach. I’ll see you at a game.

AJGA’s Columbus Junior returns to 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 (2005-06), Tartan Fields (2008) and the County Club at Muirfield Village (2007, 2010). Last year, Nicholas Grubnich of Crown Point, Ind., shot a 6-under-par 210 and survived five playoff holes to win the boys division and Lindsey Weaver of Scottsdale, Ariz., posted an 11-under 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 Gar-
TOP Continued from page B1 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. Darcy Fishback, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — 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) — 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 119 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was

Dunne (Dublin Coffman), Carpenter (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 sea-
sons. 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,
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
11-for-15 from the free-throw line. His point total broke the alldivisions district tournament scoring mark. Johnson added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. Khalilah Carpenter, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — 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 sec-

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.
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 1920. “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

than a year. “Sitting out hurt him, but that’s why I called (Allen County coach Val McLean),� Martin said. “I’ve known him for 25-plus years. He’s in the JUCO Hall of Fame and has coached over 100 kids who have been drafted in the majors. He knows what to do with a five-tool prospect like Caleb.� Hayes coach Mike Yinger also is confident in his former standout. “He still has the same skill set that made him special,� Yinger said. “He just needs to use it. He has assured me he will now. I think he hit his low point and is ready to have baseball back in his life. Here’s a kid who had it all, forgot that, but is being offered another chance. Now it’s up to him and I hope he makes it all the way back. That would be a great story.� Wilburn is working to make things happen this time, rather than just relying on his talent. “Until I met up with Tim Martin and began working with him, it had been a while since I truly worked at baseball, maybe since I was in high school,� Wilburn said. “I didn’t realize how much I missed it and how I was wasting opportunities until I was laying in the hospital staring at the ceiling. I’m more mature now and hungrier to play baseball than I was before. “I took advantage of people’s kindness and their contacts and wasted them. I’m not taking anything for granted anymore. I need to make a name for myself in the right way and give this my best effort.�
upset with them because I just showed up on their doorstep one day, but it was frustrating.� While attending Marshall, Wilburn and a friend were jumped in a bar in October 2010. Wilburn ended up in Cabell Huntington Hospital, where he underwent surgery to repair the orbital bone beneath his right eye. “It didn’t affect my sight or anything, but it was then that I began to realize I was making bad decisions,� Wilburn said. “The whole experience really helped me mature.� Wilburn also was spending time with his uncle, David Frazie, who is a pastor in Minford. “My uncle told me he had a baseball contact and hooked me up with Tim Martin, who coaches at Minford and was my uncle’s best man in his wedding,� Wilburn said. “(Martin) was drafted (by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1984) and has been a professional scout for many teams.� Martin said he is impressed with Wilburn, who led the Central District with 10 home runs during his senior season with the Pacers. He batted .529 with 43 runs, 42 RBI, 12 doubles and four triples. He also stole 18 bases. “Caleb has all the skills to get to the pro level,� Martin said. “He has all the tools. His power and arm are both big pluses and he’s a 6-foot-4, 230-pound kid who runs the 60 (yards) in 6.7 or 6.8 (seconds). He’d make a great corner infielder or a great left fielder.� Martin said both the Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals considered Wilburn a risk bemerine@thisweeknews.com because he hadn’t faced live pitching in more www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Community briefs Harry Potter party to be a Main Street event Main Street Delaware will host a Harry Potter costume party fundraiser from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. on Friday, July 22, in the Reading Room of Ohio Wesleyan University’s Slocum Hall, 75 S. Sandusky St. The room was chosen for its resemblance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Its 70-foot by 20-foot leaded glass ceiling in particular seems to suggest the Great Hall as described in the books by J.K. Rowling, according to a news release from Main Street. Tickets are $25 per person, with all proceeds benefiting Main Street, a 501(c) (3) organization. Refreshments will include non-alcoholic butter beer, treacle tarts and other goblin-made
goodies. Character look-alike contests will be held, and those in attendance may earn O.W.L.s for their knowledge of all things magical and Muggle. Helping with the evening’s entertainment will be Hayes High School’s Harry Potter club, the Muggle Alliance; Ohio Wesleyan University’s on-site food service Chartwells; the actors and costumers Dalmatian Alley; and The Alley LLC., a vintage clothing and costume shop in Columbus. All guests are encouraged to come in costume. Event planners warn that those not in costume run the risk of being considered Muggles and squibs. Please note that the Slocum Hall Reading Room is accessible only by stairway. For tickets or for more information, call (740) 362-6050.
