State cuts ‘cannot be underestimated’ By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The anticipated state cut in the Local Government Fund (LGF) would keep Gahanna from having a 2012 balanced budget, according to city leaders. While reviewing the city’s budget June 27, Mayor Becky Stinchcomb told city council’s finance committee the administration would present a balanced budget if it weren’t for the state’s LGF reduction.
“That cut is showing itself,” she said. An estimated projection of the 2012 general fund shows a $166,623 deficit, with $22,563,664 in revAngel Mumma enue and $22,730,287 in expenditures. Finance director Angel Mumma said a major change from the 2011 appropriations is a $445,000 decrease in LGF revenue.
“Had the Local Government Fund been left in place, this budget would have shown a positive variance of $278,377,” Mumma said. “The effects of the reduction in this funding source cannot be underestimated.” The anticipated 25-percent reduction of the LGF revenue source will start in the second half of this year, as the state begins its 2012 fiscal year in July. Gahanna’s budget is based on a calendar year, from January to December.
Mumma said 2012 would be a combination of the 25-percent reduction for January to June and a 50-percent reduction from July to December. “While state revenues are increasing, these increases will not be enough to offset the tremendous cuts that we face as the recipient of these dollars,” she wrote in a memo to council. The administration recommended tapping into the unencumbered balance of the general fund to make up the difference between planned revenue and
planned expenditures. A breakdown of the 2012 general-fund expenditure distribution comprises 64 percent for personal services, including salaries and benefits; 19 percent, operating expenditures; 14 percent, contract services; and 3 percent, transfers. General-fund revenue comprises 63.7 percent, income tax; 7.7 percent, real estate tax; 5.1 percent, interest and investment income; 4.9 percent, recreational See BUDGET, page A2
Resident earns medal for valor in Afghanistan By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
New Gahanna resident Chad Clark plans to enjoy July 4 at home after spending last year in Afghanistan, where his actions as an Army staff sergeant earned him a Bronze Star Medal with Valor. “It’s quite an award,” Clark told ThisWeek. “It has been given to some great people in the past. I’m happy my name can be added to the list. I’m extremely proud to have received it.” Clark, who has been promoted to sergeant first class, has served in the Army Reserves for nine years, and he works full time at Defense Logistics Agency (formerly Defense Supply Center of Columbus). The New Concord native purchased a home in Gahanna in March. He and his wife, April, are expecting their first child near the end of July. “We always liked this area,” Clark said. “We have a lot of friends here. I work in Whitehall, so it was a natural fit.” Clark was deployed to Afghanistan with his fellow soldiers from Alpha Company 412, serving there from December 2009 to October 2010.

July 4 Freedom Festival to Commission approves feature military, kid games Giant Eagle addition By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Fundraising for the Save the Freedom Festival campaign has been successful, and the party will get started at 6:30 p.m. July 4 at the Gahanna Municipal Golf Course, 220 Olde Ridenour Road. The Gahanna Parks & Recreation Foundation dedicated time to raising money for the fireworks and festival after the city last year announced it couldn’t fund the festival because of budget constraints. Foundation chairman Lee Tucker said the festival would be big-
ger and better, thanks to local sponsors and the community coming together for the event. Gahanna-based Heartland Bank will sponsor the Gahanna Freedom Festival, and other businesses and individuals contributed enough to finance the festival and fireworks. As of June 28, more than $23,000 had been collected for the Freedom Festival, Tucker said. The USO of Central & Southern Ohio also will have a hand in the celebration. “The USO was a perfect addition to the Freedom Festival,”

Tucker said. “We also have great support from the Ohio National Guard. We’ll have a nice military presence throughout the evening. Tell them you appreciate them during the festival.” The nonprofit USO relies on donations from individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities. USO funds generated locally are used to help Ohio’s service men and women and their families. Tucker said VIP tables, with parking passes, are available for

Giant Eagle last week received approval for changes to the Gahanna store at 1250 N. Hamilton Road. The planning commission approved a final development plan and certificate of appropriateness for Giant Eagle that includes a 1,036-square-foot addition to the western facade. Gahanna deputy development director Leah Evans said the new addition would accommodate the store’s additional internal storage needs. It will be along the side of Giant Eagle, originally intended for a drive-through pharmacy window. The drive-through is on the eastern side of the See FESTIVAL, page A3

building. The final development plan called for a parking lot revision, including the relocation of six existing spots from the western side of the building to align with 18 existing spaces facing North Hamilton Road. After residents and commission members expressed concerns, the plan was revised to eliminate the six parking spaces and install landscaping instead. Sanctuary Place resident Keith Webster expressed concerns about the effect on the watershed, saying Gahanna already is battling issues. “If you give them an OK, ask them to put in imSee ADDITION, page A3

CLARK Continued from page A1 The heroic actions he took on June 27, 2010, led to his medal, which he received during a March 27 ceremony at Fort Knox, Ky. What started as a 24-hour mission into the Ghaki Valley turned into a three-day operation because of enemy attacks, according to Clark. The Ghaki Valley, leading straight to Pakistan, is in Kubar Province in northeast Afghanistan. Clark’s team was assigned to 2nd Platoon as part of Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, that was to clear out AntiAfghan Forces (AAF) enemy combatants, most of whom are members of the Taliban. “The villagers had no choice under the Taliban,” Clark said. “We knew we had to clear the threat before we could go into the village to meet with the elders to conduct our civil-affairs mission.” In his military occupation in civil affairs, Clark’s job is to interact with the civilian population to ensure they have the necessities to sustain themselves after the U.S. exits, he said. “We set them up for success, like helping them get the teachers they need for school buildings,” he said. On June 27, 2010, Clark’s day started at about 1 a.m. in a pitchblack environment, with temper-
atures already at 75 degrees. The civil-affairs teams carry 9mm pistols, M4 rifles with 240 rounds, two grenades and protective gear and equipment weighing about 75 pounds. Army 1st Lt. Doug Jones, 2nd Platoon leader, said intelligence had pointed to about 150 Taliban fighters moving equipment and weapons through the valley. Clark was quick to identify potential ambush points and directed his team and interpreter to dismount from his vehicle and move along Ghaki Road. While moving through the village of Sangam, 2nd Platoon came under heavy fire. Clark directed his interpreter to aid in controlling the embedded Afghan National Army (ANA) and Afghan Border Patrol, who accompanied 2nd Platoon. After 2nd Platoon established a fighting position in a ditch, Clark also indentified an AAF fighting position and oriented his friendly ANA soldiers, who eliminated the threat with two rocket-propelled grenade rounds. As Clark and his team moved east through the valley, 2nd Platoon was attacked again. He immediately established a fighting position and used suppressive fire to allow trapped soldiers to move back to cover. When a small group of 2nd Platoon soldiers attempted to clear a building near a compound, a guided-bomb blast injured several of
them. Clark led a group to aid the injured soldiers, and he assisted in carrying them down four terraces to a medical-evacuation area. Staff Sgt. Jonathan Pelosi, of Alpha Company, provided cover while Clark helped carry the wounded soldiers to the MedEvac area at the bottom of the terraces, in an open valley for helicopter access. After consolidating the remainder of 2nd Platoon, Clark noticed two additional soldiers were showing signs of injuries from the guided-bomb blast, so he assembled a team to move the soldiers to the helicopter landing zone. As soon as the helicopter lifted off,AAF attacked Clark’s team. Although a rocket-propelled grenade round landed a few feet from Clark, he wasn’t seriously injured, and he maneuvered with the remainder of his team back to a compound. The three-day mission resulted in more than 100 AAF killed, and the enemy network was defeated in the province. Pelosi said Clark had stepped up to lead troops, without hesitation. “He took charge of infantry soldiers in 2nd Platoon and friendly forces in the ANA and led troops into battle,” he said. In the award citation, Jones said Clark had risked his life in the face of enemy fire, performing above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the mission’s success.

BUDGET Continued from page A1 income; 4.8 percent, administrative/service charges; 4.7 percent, fines and fees; 4.1 percent, LGF; 2.2 percent, other taxes; 1.4 percent, licenses and permits; 0.9 percent, miscellaneous income; and 0.5 percent, grants. In dissecting the budget June 27, council rejected the administration’s recommendation to cut salaries in half for the records commission, civilservice commission, planning commission, board of zoning appeal, parks-and-recreation board and landscape commission. The cut would have saved the city $26,811, including benefits, over the course of one year. Council member Tim Pack said the people who serve on those boards and commissions help make Gahanna great.
“These people put in a lot of hours,” he said. “Obviously, they don’t do it for the money. But there’s a lot of work these people do.” Council member David Samuel agreed that board and commission members spend an enormous amount of time during the meetings and preparing for meetings. “I would prefer a pay freeze,” he said. “Our nonlabor-union (employees) and directors have been at a pay freeze. That’s another issue. We’d like to see the recommendation to keep the wages as they are.” Council is scheduled to vote on the 2012 budget July 5. The city is required by Ohio Revised Code to adopt a budget and submit it to the Franklin County Auditor’s Office by July 20 each year. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

ADDITION space. “We aren’t reducing landscaping but trying to keep what we have,” she said. Commission member Jennifer Price said Giant Eagle already meets parking requirements, so she requested additional green space in place of the six parking spots. “Their ultimate goal is more space inside,” Evans said. “There would still be sufficient parking.”
Rosan thanked the residents for their input, saying their comments affected the plan’s parking proposal. The store also received approval for temporary seasonal sidewalk sales in front of the building. The conditional use for seasonal sidewalk sales was approved with the condition that merchandise displays are no higher than four feet and must maintain a 6foot minimum aisle width.
FESTIVAL Continued from page A1 $250, with proceeds benefitting the USO. The USO will have such activities as a climbing wall and a ninehole miniature golf course during the celebration. Kate Mattison, spokesperson for Gahanna Parks and Recreation, said the Gahanna branch of the YMCA would operate children’s activities, such as giant yard games like Twister, Jenga, checkers and corn hole, as well as a pie-in-theface and a watermelon-eating contest, from 6:30 to 9:45 p.m. The festival also will feature DJ Lance from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and entertainment from the band, Swagg, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. “Swagg is a central Ohio band,” Tucker said. “They will have nice, fun music for the festival. They have a good song list.” CD 101 is doing a musical mix for the fireworks, including upbeat music with patriotic songs. Tucker said festival-goers should bring their radios to tune in for the fireworks that launch at 10 p.m. S. Vitale Pyrotecnico Industries Inc., based in New Castle, Pa., will provide the fireworks show for about $20,000. Other offerings will include beer sales from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Food vendors include Donatos, BapGap concessions, Chick-fil-A and Aloha Ice. A special presentation is slated for 9:35 p.m., when a brief video will be shown from the foundation and USO. In case of inclement weather, the fireworks will be held at 10 p.m. July 5.

Protect Your Ash Trees Call Mike Donley Today for a FREE Ash Tree Assessment The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic boring insect believed to have come from China. This bug was first discovered in 2002 in Southeast Michigan. With no natural enemies to contain its population, it spreads rapidly, attacks and kills ALL ash trees regardless of size or condition; 100% mortality rate! This bug only attacks ash trees. The EAB infestation of ash trees became apparent last year in Central Ohio. Extensive wood pecker damage, dead limbs in upper canopies and a flush of green sprouts in the lower canopies are the most obvious signs of likely EAB infestation. Generally speaking, from the first signs of infestation, trees die within 2-3 years if untreated. Should you decide to preserve your ash trees, field trials from Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue Universities have shown annually applied insecticides will protect ash trees effectively from the emerald ash borer. There are two primary recommendations to get most effective insecticide protection - Treating trees in the spring time (April-May) and treatments prior to infestation.

Gahanna student represents club at international convention By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna Lincoln High School senior Suneil Kamath is the first Gahanna student to attend the Key Club International Convention in Phoenix. Kamath, the son of Yogeesh and Anu Kamath, told ThisWeek he’s excited to represent Gahanna and Ohio for Key Club at the Arizona convention June 29 to July 3. “Key Club is something I’m really passionate about,” he said. “I think Key Club is one of the best ways for a high school student to get involved in community service.” Kamath was elected Key Club lieutenant governor for Ohio in February. His leadership role started in April and will continue through March 2012. “This past year, I was president, and I ran for the lieutenant governor position and got it,” he said. “There are around 200 clubs and about 12,000 members.” While at the international convention, Kamath will highlight what Gahanna’s Key Club has
accomplished over the past year. “It’s a celebration of what we’ve done,” he said. “I’ll talk about how Suneil Kamath Gahanna has adopted this child and fundraiser. I’ll also attend different forums about leadership in high school and how to develop it.” Through the organization, Child Fund International, Gahanna’s Key Club adopted Bright Banda, a young boy from Zambia. The club’s 50 members funded the adoption by designing and selling lime-green wristbands, inscribed with the phrase, “Bands for Bright.” The adoption will ensure that Bright has enough food, water, health resources and play materials. The Gahanna students have been corresponding with Bright by writing him letters and sending him pages from coloring books. Club members also devote hun-
dreds of hours to service projects unrelated to school. Key Club adviser Marcia Sweet said the club hosts Bright Banda many fundraisers throughout the year for beneficiaries, including UNICEF and the National Breast Cancer Foundation. She said Kamath is an outstanding student. “He’s incredible,” Sweet said. “He was vice president of the club his sophomore year. He’s also very involved in other activities. Being lieutenant governor makes him the president of the district. He’ll be over at Reynoldsburg Key Club and others in the area.” The Gahanna Key Club helped fund part of Kamath’s trip to the international convention, with the remainder being funded by the Gahanna Kiwanis Club. Key Club, founded in 1925, is the high school version of the Kiwanis Club and focuses on teaching leadership through serving others.
Gahanna Lions parade recognizes ‘Special People’ By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Floats, marching bands, bicycles and church and youth groups will celebrate Independence Day in Gahanna. Gahanna Independence Day organizers expect the 90-minute parade to step off from Gahanna Lincoln High School, 140 South Hamilton Road, at 10:30 a.m. July 4. Organizer Frank Treadway said the Gahanna Lions Club has coordinated the holiday parade since 1946. The theme of the 2011 parade is “Special People.” The theme is especially close to his heart, Treadway said, because he has a daughter with Down syndrome. “She was in one of the first graduating classes from Gahanna for handicap,” he said. “The
purpose is not to flaunt these people. They have the same wants and desires of everyone else. They just want to be treated like all others.” He said he a few handicapped Gahanna students who graduated together would be in the parade. “They were in the Special Olympics, and they are all out of school and working,” he said. “I don’t know exactly how many handicapped (people) will participate.” Overall, Treadway said, he anticipates a well-rounded parade. Entries already registered include the Gahanna Lincoln High School marching band, Heartland Bank, the Gahanna Parks and Recreation Foundation, CD 101, several local churches, a military troop and bicyclists. Awards will be handed out for
best float and for best kids bicycle. The winners will be recognized at the Gahanna Municipal Golf Course, 220 Olde Ridenour Road. Parade participants will assemble in the high school parking lot at 9 a.m. Monday, July 4. Fire trucks and antique cars will assemble by 10 a.m. The parade route will travel from Lincoln High School to Gahanna Middle School West, 350 N. Stygler Road. The parade will not be delayed because of rain, but it would be postponed for lightning, Treadway said. Anyone wanting to participate in the parade must submit an application to Treadway as soon as possible. Applications are available at Gahanna City Hall or by calling Treadway at (614) 8551291.

Parents grateful for staff at Blacklick Elementary To the editor: It all started for my wife and I 10 years ago in August 2001. We had just moved into Jefferson Township a few years prior and were told Gahanna had just redistricted and our girls were going to Blacklick Elementary School. We liked Gahanna and were thrilled with the school from all what we had heard. As I was sitting at my youngest daughter’s fifth-grade graduation ceremony the morning of June 8 at Blacklick, it made me reflect on what an awesome 10 straight years it has been at the school and how all three of my daughters’ lives and ours have been touched by the educators as well as the children and their parents that we have had the privilege to meet over those 10 years. I could go on and on with thanking all the teachers. They took our girls from kindergartners to preteens it seems like overnight and gave them in the end so much more independence, self-confidence and assurance, intelligence and a sincere compassion toward other children and their cultures, as well. I especially would like to thank the following educators at Blacklick. Without you, all our daughters could not be what they have become today. It was great to know you all and I hope our paths cross again some time in the future. Sherryl Burgeois in kindergarten and Heather Bailey-Lewis in first grade (each had all three of my girls), Michelle Kruzer and Emily Obrovic in second grade, Janet Plunkett and Melissa Riska in third grade, Mary Leopold and Jan Burton in fourth grade, and Blaine Henry and Lori Kokales in fifth grade. Through all these past 10 years it has been Jeff Bower for gym, Catherine Stewart for art, Susan Van Dop for
June 30, 2011
music. Also, janitors Ed Morris, Kenny Moore and George Moore (no relation to Kenny), secretary Beth Yanai and principal Robin Schmidt. Thank you one and all for helping to mold and to make our three precious girls what they are today, and that is three wonderful young ladies whom any parent couldn’t be more proud of. As my wife and I said our good-
byes to those we appreciated and cared about so much over the last 10 years, it was not without shedding some tears, but it wasn’t about farewell in the sense of never seeing them again. It was all about a sincere and genuine thanks and how much we will miss them in helping to mold our girls from children to young adults. Keith and Christi Teutsch Blacklick

Learn at the Zoo
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.

Education Early learning program available Parents of preschoolers in the Gahanna-Jefferson area who are looking for a preschool experience might consider the Educational Service Center peer-model early learning program. The ESC program is looking for children to be peer models in classrooms alongside preschoolers with disabilities. Peer models are children who fulfill the following requirements: • Age 4 or 5 and has appropriate self-help skills (i.e. toilet trained). • Has age appropriate speech and language skills and plays well with other children. • Follows directions well. The program offers morning or afternoon classes, which are two hours per session. Each classroom has a licensed early childhood/special-education teacher and a trained para-professional.
Parents will need to provide their own transportation. Classrooms are in the Gahanna-Jefferson schools and applications are available by contacting supervisor Jenny Dennis at (614) 542-4106.
Speech-debate team members fare well Four members of the Gahanna Lincoln High School speech and debate team competed June 12 to 19 at the National Forensic League’s Denim and Diamonds Dallas National Speech and Debate Tournament. Senior Derek Cox advanced out of the preliminary rounds of Lincoln-Douglas debate with an 8-4 record and competed for an additional four rounds, placing in the top 35 in the nation. His overall record was 12-12. The competition began with 233 debaters. Seniors Gram Bowsher and

Todd Ives advanced out of the preliminary rounds of publicforum debate and competed in an additional three rounds, placing in the top 50 in the nation. Public-forum debate began the competition with 256 teams. Sophomore Evren Gokcen competed in Lincoln-Douglas debate but did not advance out of the preliminary rounds. Gokcen advanced four rounds in supplementary debate, arguing on such topics as oil subsidies, removing troops from Afghanistan and parental pressure. “This was a great ending to a record-breaking season,” head coach Lyle Linerode said. “All four worked so hard this entire year and really stepped it up for nationals. We did practice debates with each other, met with other schools and had independent judges, parents and former team members come in to help us get ready for this tournament.”
Assistant coach Kristen Juth accompanied the team as a judge. Alternates to the national tournament were Ameya Kotwal, Louis Naiman, Lisa Miller and Daniel Stemen. This was Gahanna’s 12th trip to the national tournament. — Marla K. Kuhlman

Wood-Bat Baseball
Post 797A defeats Cobras in U-16 final By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Area fans were treated to some oldschool baseball on June 22-26. The fourth annual Worthington/ Phoenix Wood Bat Tournament was held at eight fields in central Ohio, with the championship games played at Worthington Kilbourne High School on June 26. Fifty teams competed in the Under16 and U-18 divisions, an increase from 40 entries last year and eight in the tour-
nament’s first year in 2008. Proceeds from the tournament benefited the Kilbourne baseball program. Tournament director Travis Cox began the event four years ago, looking to give players and fans a different perspective of the game. “A lot of the coaches grew up playing in the wood-bat era, so they’re trying to get their kids to see what it was like to play like that when they were kids,” Cox said. “It definitely changes the atmosphere of the game. Pitchers learn to throw strikes a lot more because
they know kids are going to struggle hitting with the wood bat. You see a lot more small ball, bunts, hit and run. The games are 2-1, 3-2.” The tournament kicked off with a college showcase event on June 22 at Kilbourne. Seventy players participated in the event, which allowed them to display their skills to the college coaches in attendance. The Gahanna American Legion Post 797A team defeated the Columbus Cobras 3-2 in the U-16 championship game. Post 797A improved to 15-4.
Pitcher Alec Touhy, who will be a junior at Gahanna, pitched a complete game. He allowed six hits, struck out eight and walked one. Post 797A broke a scoreless tie with three runs in the fourth inning. The key hit was Alex Delp’s two-run single. Touhy drew a bases-loaded walk to score Christian Chiero with the third run against starting and losing pitcher Cody Seagraves. The Cobras, comprised of players entering their sophomore year, closed to within 3-2 with single runs in the fourth
and fifth innings. Alec McCurry led off the fourth with a double and scored on Jarrett Peters’ single. Andrew Chacey singled with two outs in the fifth and scored on Kyle Casserly’s single. Touhy retired the side in order in the seventh. “This is big,” Touhy said. “This team has played together since (the players were) 14 and 15 (years old). We’ve come See BASEBALL, page B5
Club Soccer
Two OP teams advance to semis By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Only two of the nine central Ohio boys and girls soccer teams competing in the Midwest Regional Cup, held June 25-29 in Fox Cities, Wis., won their fourteam pool to advance to a semifinal. Four of seven local squads reached a semifinal in 2009 and three of eight area teams Tourney made it to a coverage, semifinal last pgs. B2,B4 year. However, Crew Juniors Under-19 boys coach Brian Bliss said the decrease in central Ohio pool-play winners probably was because of bad luck and not a lack of talent or effort. Bliss led the Crew Juniors U19 boys squad to regional and national titles last year. This year’s Crew Juniors U-19 boys team, which didn’t retain any of last year’s players, went 1-0-2 to finish second in its pool. “There’s some luck involved in being able to win this tournament, and in our case, it ended up being the bad luck of getting a tough draw,” Bliss said. “This team has as much or more talent than we had last year, but we drew into a tougher group where every game was tough. If we would have drawn into a different group we may have gone on to win this again, but we had to spend a ton of energy in the three games we played here and we didn’t even make it out of our pool. The (blind draw for pool play) is one of the biggest reasons you rarely see a club win this tournament two or three years in a row.” The one local club that did fare well this year was the Ohio Premier Eagles, which advanced two of its four representatives to semifinals. The Ohio Premier Eagles’four girls teams combined to go 10-2 in pool play. Its U-13 squad went 3-0 to win its pool and its U-16 team advanced on a tiebreaker by beating Eclipse Select of Illinois 1-0 on penalty kicks. In semifinals played June 28, the U-13 team played Eclipse Select and the U-16 team played KCFC Force from Kansas. The finals were held June 29. Regional champions in the U14 through U-19 age groups advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix. The Ohio Premier Eagles’ U18 and U-19 teams each went 21 to finish second in their pools. Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 coach Kevin Dougherty was surprised to see his squad outscore its three pool play opponents 121. “It’s pretty unusual to win three games here the way we did because all the teams competing here are very good,” Dougherty said. “The way our U-16 team made it is more typical of this kind of tournament because there isn’t much separating most teams

Camp 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 if you don’t learn the stuff that’s really important then football doesn’t matter and soccer doesn’t matter,” said Deborah Johnson, a coordinator of the event and Richardson’s mother. “Sports won’t matter if you’re not doing the right thing, if you’re not a gentleman and if you don’t have good grades, so we’re teaching them how to do those other things
right.” Those messages were conveyed by guest speakers who included area court, police and military officials. Michael Carter, who will be entering sixth grade at Tree of Life, said he learned a lot from the presentations. “I like the way they’re talking, like mentors and the way you have to do better stuff and try to do the right thing,” he said.

Chris Davis, a 2011 Gahanna Lincoln High School graduate, has been an area soccer standout for quite a while now, but his game and name recognition grew substantially this spring. Davis, who starred for the Lions boys soccer team the past two seasons after beginning his prep career at Hartley, is in his fourth season as a member of the Columbus Crew Soccer Academy. A forward for the U-17/18 team, Davis has made the most of his two call-ups to play with the Crew Reserve.

2011 Midwest Regional Cup
Team Ohio F.C.
U-18 boys settle for 2nd in pool play By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Team Ohio F.C. Blast Under-18 boys soccer team found itself with a shortened bench in the Midwest Regional Cup in Fox Cities, Wis., after defender Angelo Pagani and midfielder Drew Pang were injured in the first game. Despite the loss of those starters, Team Ohio Blast managed to go 1-0-1 in its first two pool-play games, tying CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati at 2 on June 25 and beating the Michigan Wolves 3-0 on June 26. However, it couldn’t overcome the ejection of starting defender Max Rohda less than 20 minutes into its final game of pool play June 27 and lost to the KCFC Rangers from Kansas 1-0. The KCFC Rangers won their four-team pool with a 3-0 record and nine points to advance to a semifinal June 28, while Team Ohio Blast finished second (11-1, 4). “That was a nightmare because we had a player sent off the field for a penalty that didn’t happen,” coach Steve Dawson said. “We had three players collide and the referee gave (Rohda) a red card out of it. They got a penalty shot on that play, too, and our goalkeeper (A.J. Fleak) made a great save to keep us in the game. Our team dealt with the situation the best they could and Colton Bloecher had a couple of great opportunities where he could have scored, as did Frazier Fernandes. But it was tough to play with 10 men because it was warm and it was our third game in three days. Our players grew tired as the game wore on and we finally gave up a goal with about 20 minutes left.” Jesus Villarroel and Bloecher each scored goals to help Team Ohio Blast rally from a 2-0 deficit to tie CUP Crew Juniors. The following day, Bloecher, Villarroel and Fernandes scored as Team Ohio Blast defeated the Michigan Wolves. “We had some injuries, but we played well overall and came one win away from making it past group play,” Dawson said. •The Team Ohio Green U17 boys team went 0-1-2 to finish third in its pool with two points behind Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors (3-0, 9) and Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier (1-1-1, 4).
Team Ohio Green opened June 25 by tying Shattuck-St. Mary’s from Minnesota at 1, as Ray Gans scored the tying goal on a penalty kick with 20 minutes remaining. The next day, Team Ohio Green battled Elm Grove Premier to a scoreless tie behind goalkeeper A.J. Tresoline. “It’s frustrating because we played better than both those teams and should have beaten them, but we didn’t finish our chances,” defender A.G. Basiakos said. “We played great defense, but we didn’t score enough to win.” On June 27, Team Ohio Green lost to the Grand Rapids Crew Juniors 4-2 despite goals from Ryan Magee and Trevin Pitroff. The Grand Rapids Crew Juniors, who are ranked first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, outscored their first two opponents 11-0. “We were the first team to score against Grand Rapids and By Patrick Ferron/ThisWeek we were down only 3-2 late in Sage Gardner of the Ohio Crew Juniors U-19 team chases down the ball on June 25 during a game against St. Croix, Minn.

Wrestling
Weight classes to be 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 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 sea-
son. 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 number of classes went from 13 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.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Tennis
Columbus team wins Ohio Valley Davis Cup event Lions’ Teague helps squad post victory By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Tyler Stephen, who recently was named coach of the Dublin Jerome High School girls tennis team, will enter his new job this fall with a fresh perspective of
the sport in central Ohio. Stephen and Worthington Kilbourne boys tennis coach Steve Metzmaier guided an 11-player team of some of the area’s top boys and girls tennis players to a first-place finish in the Ohio Valley Davis Cup on June 18-19 in Charleston, W.Va. “It was kind of nice to have all that talent on the same team,” said Stephen, who also is coach of the Thomas Worthington boys team. “Most of the time these
kids are competing against each other in tournaments, so they all knew each other. But it was a little different situation because now they were competing with each other. Everyone got along so well.” The Columbus team went 3-0 in the tournament. It defeated Cincinnati Gold 6-4 and Dayton 9-1 on June 18 to place first in the top division, and it also defeated Cincinnati Silver 9-1 on June 19. Each match consisted
of 10 courts — two boys singles matches, two girls singles matches, two boys doubles matches, two girls doubles matches and two mixed doubles matches. The boys roster featured Watterson’s Aaron Casares, Jerome’s Kent Seitz, Gahanna’s Canyon Teague and Upper Arlington’s Eric Vannatta and Nate Wallace. The girls players were Lauren Bellinger and Sarah Stein of Jerome, Meghan Buell and Cristina DiLorenzo of New Albany,
UA’s Elaine Cloern and Watterson’s Katie Shepherd. Bellinger, Buell, Shepherd and Stein competed in the Division I girls state tournament last fall and Seitz, Vannatta and Wallace played in the Division I boys state tournament in the spring. Stein, who teamed with Bellinger to place second in the state with a 6-4, 6-2 loss to Cincinnati Ursuline Academy’s Komal Safdar and Mehvish Safdar in the doubles final, said the
Ohio Valley Davis Cup provided a good tune-up for summer and fall competition. “The main thing you pick up is confidence, I guess,” she said. “It’s mostly just for fun.” “The best thing was having us all together,” Bellinger said. “We all know each other and we all hit with each other. I think that made us a good team.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

2011 Midwest Regional Cup
Classics Eagles
Missed chances haunt U-13 boys team By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Even though the Classics Eagles Under-13 boys soccer team had squandered several scoring chances against the Wichita (Kan.) Lightning in its Midwest Regional Cup opener June 25, coach Mike Lentz felt comfortable with a late one-goal lead because his squad was dominating possession. However, those missed opportunities came back to haunt the Classics Eagles. A Lightning player drew a foul 19 yards from the team’s goal with under a minute
left and scored on a free kick to tie the game at 1. That tie proved costly to the Classics Eagles in the tournament in Fox Cities, Wis. They lost to Vardar from Michigan 4-0 the following day and eventually finished third in their four-team pool with a 1-1-1 record and four points behind Cleveland Pacesetter (2-1, 6) and Vardar (2-1, 6). Out of the Classics Eagles’pool, only Cleveland Pacesetter advanced to a regional semifinal June 28. Cleveland Pacesetter finished first on a tiebreaker because it had beaten Vardar.
Nick Teutsch beat three defenders en route to scoring on a low, hard shot just inside the far post to put the Classics Eagles ahead 1-0 in the first half against the Lightning. Will Bolton almost made it 2-0 with 20 minutes left, but his shot hit the left post. “We had total ball control and we only gave up one shot on goal each half, so I felt pretty comfortable in the way we were playing even after we missed out on all of those chances to score a second goal,” Lentz said. “But we got called for a foul and gave up that late goal, and
it took away our momentum and confidence. Had we won that game, I’d like to think we’d have played much better against Vardar. Knowing we had to beat Vardar to have a chance to win our pool, we pushed forward a little more than usual, which left us more vulnerable defensively. And we just didn’t match Vardar’s intensity.” The Classics Eagles concluded pool play June 27 with a 2-0 victory over Cleveland Pacesetter. A.J. Smith scored what would become the winner 12 minutes into the game from 25 yards out.
In the second half, Teutsch scored off an assist from Jake Harr and goalkeeper A.J. Smith made a diving save to his left to preserve the shutout. “That was the best we’ve played all spring,” Lentz said. “We dismantled them in every category, especially when it came to shots on goal and time of possession. It was nice to beat our group winner. We finished a great spring run with a commanding performance.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Ohio Premier
Eagles advance two girls squads to semis By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Ohio Premier Eagles advanced two of four girls soccer teams to Midwest Regional Cup semifinals after pool play concluded June 27 in Fox Cities, Wis. Ohio Premier went 10-2 overall in pool play. The Under-13 and U-16 squads both went 3-0 in pool play and played in semifinals June 28. The regional winners in the U-14 through U-19 age groups, which were determined June 29, advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in Phoenix on July 27-31. The Eagles U-13 team played Eclipse Select of Illinois in its semifinal. Eclipse is a familiar opponent for Ohio Premier. “Unfortunately, our semifinal is the one that everyone says should be the final, but in a blind draw, this happens,” coach Kevin Dougherty said. “We’re friends with the Eclipse and know a lot about them. They have a huge organization that draws from a large area. We’ve played all five of their 13U club teams, but then they combine their best players for the tournaments. They have many very special players.” The Eagles defeated Carmel (Ind.) United SC Elite 3-1 to open pool play. They then beat Greater Toledo FC 5-0 and advanced to a semifinal by beating Centennial (Minn.) 4-0. Against Carmel, Kristen McFarland scored twice and Alivia Milesky also scored. Sam Grim made four saves but allowed a late goal. She then earned the shutout against Toledo, as McFarland scored and assisted on goals by Madison Moroi and Aubrei Corder. Milesky and Bailey Williams also scored. Against Centennial, Moroi had two goals. Corder and McFarland also scored and Grim and Parker Myers were rarely challenged in net. “We scored three goals in the first nine minutes and just began moving girls around, having some fun, working on some things and just trying not to get anyone injured,” Dougherty said. •The U-16 team had to get past Eclipse Select in pool play to advance, and the Eagles did that in dramatic fashion in the finale to move on to a semifinal against KC Force on June 28. The Eagles beat Eclipse Select on the 10th penalty kick after neither team had scored entering the penalty kicks sessions. Both teams scored on two of five penalty kicks to force the extra one-kick rounds, where they matched each other’s efforts until Bailey Wilson converted in the 10th round after Eagles goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas had stopped Eclipse’s 10th kick. James-Buhigas made five saves in the penalty kicks phase. “She was unbelievable and came up with huge saves when we needed them,” said coach Chris King, whose team outscored its opponents 10-0 in pool play. “Usually, you tell the keeper to get one save in (penalty kicks) and we’ll win it. She had

saves on five of 10 penalty kicks and they were off frame with another. She was just outstanding.” The Eagles won their first two games 7-0 against KC Fusion and 3-0 against Michigan Football Club to put themselves into a points tie with Eclipse before their showdown. “The maximum goal-differential in tiebreakers here is four per game, so both us and Eclipse had seven total points entering (the June 27 pool finale),” said King, who also guided the Eagles’ U-18 team to the regional tournament. “We knew going into it that there had to be a winner and that it could go to penalty kicks. One team was going to the semifinal and the other was going home.” Two years ago, the clubs played in the U-16 regional championship and the Eclipse won in a shootout to send the Eagles home. Against the Fusion, the Eagles used three goals from Lindsay Agnew and one apiece from Nicole Hopkins, Alexis Milesky, Hannah O’Shaughnessy and Brooke Maletic. O’Shaughnessy, Milesky and Agnew scored against Michigan Football Club. The defense was strong in front of James-Buhigas, who made just five total saves in the first two pool games. •The U-19 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance. The Eagles opened by beating Dynamo of Indiana 5-1 before losing to defending regional champion Eclipse (Ill.) 3-0 and beating Bloomfield (Mich.) 5-1 in the finale. Against Dynamo, Sarah Gross scored twice. Also scoring were Nadja Kolliesuah, Ellie Gavin and
Casey Barrett. Shannon Flowers made three saves. Against Eclipse, the teams played a scoreless first half. The Eagles trailed 1-0 with about 10 minutes left when they changed their strategy to try to apply more offensive pressure. “The first half was evenly contested, but we should’ve scored first and led at half,” coach Matt Ogden said. “We needed at least a draw, so it didn’t matter if the final was 1-nil or 3-nil. We had 13 players and they wore us down in the second half. But if we score first, we can play a little different style and try to preserve the lead and get a positive result.” The Eagles got goals from Barrett, Gross, Andrea Hulls and Amber Kern in the finale, as well as an own-goal from Bloomfield. “We had nothing to play for, so we made it a farewell game for these girls who have played together for a long time,” Ogden said. “Flowers marshaled the box pretty well, but we controlled tempo and possession throughout after we fell behind 10. We definitely feel that we are a team worthy of advancing, but it wasn’t meant to be. If we played Eclipse on a different day, things might have been different. But we made mistakes and that’s soccer.

We came back and played hearts-out and that was fantastic.” •The U-18 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance. The Eagles lost their opener 3-1 to KCFC Intensity. They beat Eden Prairie (Minn.) 2-1 and then won 5-2 over Dakota Alliance Black of South Dakota. King was disappointed by the opening loss, but credited the Intensity. “That’s the best team we’ve played in the last two seasons,” King said. “We were down 2-1 and gave ourselves a couple good chances to even it up. But we were unable to do that and we started pressing and got caught forward. We exposed ourselves and they got the extra goal.” Ashley Gruenbaum scored for Ohio Premier. The Eagles trailed Eden Prairie 1-0 after allowing a goal just before halftime. But Jesse Sabers tied it and Michela Paradiso scored the winner with around 11 minutes remaining. Goalie Abbey Smith preserved the win from there.
