City to proceed with detention basin

By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Gahanna is moving forward with plans to build a detention basin near Giant Eagle and the Woods at Shagbark while continuing to explore additional ways to help control erosion and flooding along the McKenna Creek watershed.

City engineer Karl Wetherholt reported to council July 25 that Gahanna has scheduled an Aug. 4 meeting with Columbus officials to discuss

stormwater management in the Columbus jurisdiction north of Morse Road.

“I think we’ll get something to come through eventually,” he said. “Columbus has some stormwater utility credits available in some of these areas.

We’ll see what businesses can do. Our basin gets us forward for where we want to be but not all the way there.”

The proposed $400,000 detention basin is the most time-efficient and costeffective solution on city-owned property, according to Dottie Franey, city service director.

In addition to the basin, which would be funded through the city’s stormwater utility fund, Gahanna will continue to research additional storage areas north of the basin.

In the Aug. 4 meeting, Gahanna is expected to ask if Columbus would be willing to participate in refining McKenna Creek (known as Beem Ditch) watershed drainage studies already started by Gahanna for areas within Columbus’ jurisdiction.

By helping to refine McKenna Creek watershed drainage studies, Gahanna

specifically is looking for Columbus to supply the stormwater calculations provided by the private businesses along the watershed at the time of their development.

Gahanna also wants to know if Columbus would be willing to offer stormwater utility credits to private businesses within the watershed for improving stormwater management. If Columbus already has such credits available, Gahanna wants to know criteria to qualify for those credits.

Columbus officials also will be asked

if they would agree to let Gahanna consult with private businesses within Columbus’ jurisdiction regarding stormwater management. If that’s agreeable, Gahanna would involve Columbus in such a correspondence.

Gahanna officials also want to know whether Columbus requires stormwater management be upgraded when other significant improvements are made to an existing development. Understanding that existing structures along the See BASIN, page A7

Gahanna opens 1,500-foot trail, pedestrian bridge

By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Gahanna celebrated National Parks and Recreation Month with the opening of 1,500 feet of trail and a pedestrian bridge.

Gahanna’s Parks and Recreation Department on July 22 held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and dedication of Section 7 of the Big Walnut Trail.

The project received funding from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources through a Clean Ohio Trail Fund and the Recreation Trail Fund grant.

The 140-by-12-foot prefabricated foot bridge, installed in June, is on the south end of the bike trail that runs past the veterans memorial, near the Gahanna Swim Club Pool, and con-

nects to a trail just north of Price Road.

Section 7 includes 1,500 feet of multipurpose trails, connected to Big Walnut Creek trail to the west and Cliffview Drive to the east of the creek.

The connectivity of the new trail allows residents of southwest Gahanna to gain access to business centers on South Hamilton Road, eliminating the need to travel the busy Granville Street corridor for bike or pedestrian access.

The newly completed project puts Gahanna one step closer to wrapping up the Big Walnut Trail project, parks director Tony Collins said. The 5-mile multipurpose trail will run from Morse Road in the north to Pizzurro Park in southern Gahanna.

“Parks and recreation facilities and programs provide opportunities for citizens all over Ohio to learn and grow and to improve their health while also providing economic and quality-of-life benefits to our com-

munities,” Collins said.

The July 22 ceremony was just one in a series of events held this month to celebrate Ohio Parks and Recreation Month, sponsored by the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association.

On July 18, Mayor Becky Stinchcomb presented a proclamation to the parks department in recognition of the month.

She cited Section 7 of the Big Walnut Trail as a wonderful example of the city’s efforts to be “citizen-centric.”

Parks and recreation always strives for innovative funding, Stinchcomb said, and receives the bulk of its funding from the city’s general fund, as well as from facilities, programs, speSee BRIDGE, page A7

Dogs in hot cars result in cruelty charges

By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Vehicles can become death traps to pets if they’re left in sweltering heat like much of the nation has experienced in recent weeks.

Gahanna police have issued two crueltyto-animals citations this month after dogs were left in vehicles while one owner shopped and another dined at a local restaurant.

On July 19, a dog was left inside a car at the parking lot of Buffalo Wild Wings off Cherry Bottom Road for at least 30 minutes.

The windows of the vehicle were less than halfway down. Although the dog had water available inside the car, the temperature gauge of the reporting officer’s cruiser read 96 degrees.

Gahanna police also responded to a report of animal cruelty at the StoneRidge Plaza, where a dog was left inside a vehicle for more than 40 minutes July 8, with no windows down. The vehicle was parked in direct sunlight, and the outside temperature was 83 degrees, according to the report.

Gahanna police Lt. Dan Williams said a cruelty-to-animals charge is a second-degree misdemeanor, resulting in a mandatory court appearance and a fine of up to $750. In some cases, jail time could be given.

“Temperatures in a car increase so quickly,” Williams said. “I tell people, ‘If you wouldn’t be comfortable sitting in a car in a fur coat, they won’t be either.’ They will overheat.

“In this type of weather, it’s entirely too hot. Even with windows all the way down,

it’s extremely hot.”

Dr. Louis Murray, director of medicine for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), said a car could become a furnace in no time, even with the windows open. The result could be a fatal heat stroke.

Williams also cautions motorists about leaving young children unattended in vehicles. In addition to the dangers, the motorist could be charged with child endangering, which is considered a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable with a minimum of a $1,000 fine and six months in jail.

For tips concerning extreme heat for pets and people, go to the ASPCA website at aspca.org or Franklin County Public Health’s website at myfcph.org.

The Gahanna-Jefferson Board of Education will change by at least one member in 2012.

Board president Charley Wise is calling it quits at the end of his term.

“I don’t intend to seek re-election,” Wise told ThisWeek. “I’ve really thoroughly enjoyed working on school board and working for the community. My first priority is being a husband and dad, and that has at times taken a back seat the last four years. I want to spend more time with them and my job.”

The terms of Wise and Windy McKenna expire Dec. 31.

Wise is employed by Key Bank, where he works with government agencies.

member of the school board, he said.

“I think it requires more time than people realize,” he said. “It has really been rewarding.”

Wise, a 1997 Gahanna graduate, said he would stay involved in the district as the parent of a first-grader and future kindergartner.

“I’ll be involved at the PTO level and at their school goings-on,” he said. “For a kid who grew up here and now I’m sending my kids here, I truly love the community. I also met my wife (Mindy) in high school, and we do love it here.”

McKenna, who’s in her fourth four-year term, has taken out a See BOARD, page A2

Treadway reflects on city accomplishments

By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Gahanna’s first human-resources director will leave the city for a position with the Central Ohio Transit Authority.

Since her 2002 hiring, Kristen Treadway has built Gahanna’s human-resources department from the ground up but last week left for new challenges as COTA’s vice president of human resources and labor relations.

Although much work remains in Gahanna, Treadway said, she helped Gahanna advance services and efficiencies by improving the hiring process, lowering the money paid to outside legal counsel for labor and improving employee relations, resulting in fewer labor disputes.

During her tenure, Treadway also added numerous policies, procedures and programs, from job descriptions

and a performance appraisal system to the implementation of an insurance-incentive program for employees and their spouses, using biometric testing to deKristen termine what insurTreadway ance premiums they would pay.

Treadway also helped move the city to a self-funded program for workers’ compensation and instituted the first early retirement-incentive program, each of which are expected to save the city more than $1 million over five years.

“Gahanna has one of the lowest employee-to-citizen ratios in the area, and it is because the city truly has the best municipal team in all of central Ohio,” she said. “Many of our leaders are similar to me and have a private-sector background in addition to our public-

sector experience, which helps us function and run the city more as a business; however the dedication all of the employees have to the citizens of Gahanna is second to none.”

Gahanna employees continually step up to do more and more with less, Treadway said.

“Leaving the work family I have become a part of is one of the hardest things I have had to do,” she said. “My position would not exist if not for the people who work for the city, and I have dedicated the past nine years to supporting them.

“The support every employee has given me to institute the culture of human resources into the city has been tremendous. I will truly miss everyone, and I thank everyone for all they have provided me,” she said.

Labor relations at COTA are a tremendous opportunity, Treadway said, adding that she’s looking forward to it.

Brian Hoyt, Gahanna’s public-information officer, said everyone in the city is sad to see Treadway leave.

In her new position, Treadway will be responsible for implementing strategic human-resource goals and objectives, promoting healthy and effective employee relations and overseeing the development and implementation of comprehensive training, education and employee development programs that encourage individual and organizational success.

“We are pleased to have such a knowledgeable and motivated person leading our human-resources team,” said Bill Lhota, COTA president and CEO. “Kristen has proven to be an excellent communicator, and her experience will significantly contribute to COTA’s operations. She will be an invaluable addition to the company.” mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Football

Teams preparing for start of practice

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The wait is nearly over for high school football players and coaches.

It started with the sometimes monotonous days of weight-room work, which began for many the moment last season ended.

The past few weeks have included activities such as team camps and 7on-7 passing tournaments, with a few glimpses of the playbook thrown in.

Beginning Monday, Aug. 1, it final-

ly will start to feel like football again.

For Grove City coach Matt Jordan, that first day of official coaching allowed by the OHSAA provides an enjoyable opportunity to see his players bond.

It also doesn’t hurt that it’s a chance for relationships between some players and coaches to get a fresh start.

“You no longer get any excuses from anybody,” Jordan said, laughing. “Seriously, it’s fun to finally get to put the pads on. You’ve been in the weight room since December, so it’s fun watch-

ing everyone run around in helmets.

You know it’s football season, and there’s this wonderful excitement in the air. There’s something about that adrenaline that comes.”

According to the OHSAA, the dates teams are allowed to scrimmage this year are Aug. 9-20. Although games can be played as early as Aug. 22, most teams start their season Aug. 26 or 27.

Many teams in central Ohio won’t have their first scrimmage until Aug. 12, which means they have 11 days to put plays in motion before their first

contact against another team.

Putting in drills over the first couple days of practice can be an important exercise in setting the pace for the coming months as well as in preparing for scrimmages.

“You try to establish everyday types of drills and try to mix them up,” Jordan said. “We do certain things day one, certain things day two and get a rotation going. You’re always evaluating talent and you definitely want to laterally be going forward to see who looks good.

“In football, you already have a pretty good idea who your guys are Aug. 1, so you’re also looking at team cohesiveness. Do you have some leaders who are ready to step up? You start initially with your base offense and base defense in the early days and then do repeat and review to make sure you haven’t moved too fast. When you get to pads, it all changes.”

Teams from the City League sometimes have obstacles, particularly early See FOOTBALL, page B2

Commentary

Respect essential to prep athletes Bad news often takes precedence over good news when it comes to stories about athletes.

Most athletes perform well at their jobs and conduct their lives in a respectful way, but poor decisions often lead to headlines.

This week, the high school stuLARRY dent-athletes LARSON writing in my summer series discuss how they view two elements of the positive side of sports — sportsmanship and respect.

Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I always try to be as positive as possible and I always remember that I do this sport because I love it and not as if it is my job.”

Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “I view respect and sportsmanship as a bigger part of the game than talent. You don’t have to be a friend with everyone, but it is important to get along with everyone.”

Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Respect and good sportsmanship are necessities come game time. Whether it was something in your day that upset you or things just aren’t going the way you want them to, no one likes to feel disrespected. Sometimes it’s going to be about someone else’s day, so smile and congratulate them as they would congratulate you.”

Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “Respect in competition is vital.

When you are big enough to respect your opponents, you respect yourself and your teammates that much more.”

Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Respect and sportsmanship are always very valued traits to have as an athlete. In order to respect the game, you must respect your competitors in that game.”

Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “I will make it real simple — respect all, fear none.”

Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “In high school games, you have to remember that the guys out there on the field from the other team are just like you. Many of us get to be friends over the years. It is important to represent your school and community well on and off the field.”

Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “Respect and sportsmanship in competition are very important. I will be the first to say that emotions, sometimes, do get the best of me during games. The important thing is to keep in mind that it is a game and it is nothing to compromise your morals over.”

Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “It is never very fun to play with someone

Marlins cruise to another SESL title

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Foxboro’s Madison Gibson swims in the girls 9-10 50-yard backstroke during the Suburban East Swim League meet July 21.

Sam Kocher knew he would be at a disadvantage when he competed in the Suburban East Swim League championships July 20-21 at the Hilltop pool.

Recovering from a June 14 surgery to correct a deviated septum, the Reynoldsburg Marlins swimmer was reduced to push-off starts in his events while the rest of the SESL competitors dived into the pool.

“That’s a pretty big disadvantage,” Kocher said.

“Every person is a body length or two ahead of you. You have to make up a lot of ground.”

Kocher more than made up for it. The 2011 St. Charles Preparatory School graduate placed first in the 100-yard individual medley (1 minute, 0.33 of a second) and the 50 butterfly (26.83) in the boys 15- to 18-year-old division. He also joined his brother Alex, Andrew Templeman and Josh Dorsett in first-place finishes in the 200 medley relay (1:51.18) and 200 freestyle relay (1:44.24).

The performances helped the Marlins capture their 12th SESL varsity championship in 14 years.

They scored 601 points to finish ahead of the Eastmoor Swordfish (458), Gahanna Hunter’s Ridge (175), New Albany (98), Hilltop (38), London (36) and Foxboro (9).

The meet consisted of competitors in the 11-12, 13-14 and 15-18 age groups.

The Marlins’ Tiffany Aeling, a 2011 Hartley graduate, thought about not competing this summer so she could focus on getting ready to swim for Marshall University in the fall.

“I decided that since some of my other friends were still swimming and I can still compete, I may as well come back and finish out my last year,” said Aeling, who clocked a 55.79 in the 100 freestyle to break her own meet record of 56.33 in 2008 and placed first in the 100 IM (1:06.81) in the girls 1518 division.

“That was a nice way to finish it out,” she said.

The Marlins’ Leah Svoboda, Drewanne Maffett, Sara Kohs and Marisa Glusich broke the SESL record in the girls 13-14 200 free relay (1:53.05), topping the previous best of 1:53.3 set by Bexley in 1980.

Lauren Bailey, Glusich, Svoboda and Maffett set a league record in the girls 13-14 200 medley relay by swimming a 2:01.49 in the July 20 preliminaries to beat the previous record of 2:05.01 set by Eastmoor in 2008. They won the event in 2:05.32 on July 21.

Glusich also won the 50 breaststroke (33.47), 50 free (27.41) and 100 IM (1:06.56). Bailey was See SWIM, page B2

Top Individual Performances: No. 3

Avery’s heroics led Newark to state title

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Greg Avery of the Newark High School boys basketball team couldn’t have been more excited for the spotlight of the Division I state championship game March 15, 2008, against Lakewood St. Edward.

Even now, though, he cringes at how his game started — with a pair of what he considered bad shots, the first of which resulted in a missed layup.

But little else went wrong that night for Avery.

The 6-foot-3 senior tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory and their first state championship since 1943 before a crowd of 12,465 at Ohio State’s Value City Arena.

“My first two shots were two of the dumbest shots,” Avery said. “I wanted to get rolling, and after that I was just in the See LARSON, page B2 zone.”

Avery made seven consecutive shots after missing his first attempt, including back-to-back baskets to open the second quarter. He hit a jumper nine seconds into the period to make it 21-14 and made his only 3-point attempt with 6 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the quarter to give the Wildcats a 24-14 lead.

After Newark took a 14-point lead midway through the second period, St. Edward rallied to within six before Avery hit a jumper with 7 seconds left in the first half to make it 33-25.

“I really noticed (how well he was playing) the next week watching the game and seeing some of the shots he made,” Newark coach Jeff Quackenbush said. “We ran a play for him at the end of the (first) half and he made this fade-away (jumper) from about 17 feet.

FOOTBALL Continued from page B1 on, because many of the players who come out for football as freshmen are competing in the sport on a team for the first time.

For those taking over a program for the first time such as Brookhaven’s Trevor White, that factor as well as figuring out how to install a new system can make for some complicated moments of preparation even before the first day of official coaching.

“Especially with a new program, a big thing early on is setting the tone,” White said. “You want to be getting everybody on the same page, and what we’ve been debating is how much of the offense and defense do we put in. Do we just throw it at them or do we take it step by step?

“We’ll have some kids that played (youth) football but some who have never played the sport before. You’ve always got to walk a line of bringing kids along but not holding the veterans back, and especially with a new program, it’s important that

At a glance Below is a look at the Gahanna Lincoln and Columbus Academy football teams entering Monday, Aug. 1’s first day of official coaching: GAHANNA LINCOLN •Coach: John Snoad, fourth season •2010 record: 5-5 overall, 4-3 (tied for third) in OCC-Ohio •Last playoff appearance: 2007, lost in Division I first round •Opener: Aug. 26 at DeSales •Top expected returnees: Jeffrey Baasch (LB), Tyler Grassman (P/K/DB), Julian Lowe (WR/DB), Aaron Roberson (RB/DB) and Mitchell Rowell (LB) •Preseason outlook: A three-game winning streak to close last season sent the Lions into the offseason feeling optimistic.

you’re really getting to know the team. I’m really excited to learn who my team is.”

One of the key aspects of the first days of official coaching, according to Olentangy Liberty coach Steve Hale, is getting players’ technical reactions back on track.

“You’re working a lot on technique, stance and starts, quickness and a lot of ball skills,” Hale said. “What responsibilities do I have? There are a lot of drills

ACADEMY •Coach: Jim Collis, first season •2010 record: 5-5 overall, 3-4 (fifth) in MSL-Ohio •Last playoff appearance: 2006, lost in Division V regional semifinal •Opener: Aug. 26 vs. Zanesville Maysville •Top expected returnees: Isaac Mallory (OL/DL), Zach Ratcliff (TE/DE), Mitchell Slutsky (WR/DB), Tyler TerryWalker (OL) and R.J. Watters (WR/LB) •Preseason outlook: After the death of coach Mark Barren on June 9 following a heart attack, Academy chose Collis to take over. The fact that he led the program from 19962006 - the Vikings won the 2003 Division V state title - should ease what looks to be a transition period for the program.

AVERY Continued from page B1 ally good about the shots he was taking.

“He had a huge steal at the end of the third quarter and just played well the entire game.

His whole game, just everything he did, he really competed well that night.”

The other starters for the Wildcats — post player Dane Kopp, forward Will McCoy and guards Cody Dennison and Rahlin Watson — each played contributing roles in what became Newark’s fourth state championship. Although McCoy scored just four points, he was one of the primary reasons St. Edward’s Tom Pritchard — an Indiana University recruit — was held to nine points on 3-for-7 shooting.

The Wildcats never led by fewer than five points in the second half and stretched the lead to as many as 16 in the final period.

Watson, who plays for Capital University, scored 10 points.

Dennison scored eight and Kopp added seven as the Wildcats finished with a 24-4 record.

Avery said the standout performance of the team’s defense made it difficult for St. Edward — and Pritchard in particular — to take good shots.

Dennison, who played two seasons for Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and will play for Tiffin University this season, remembers talking with Avery when both were in elementary school about one day making it to the state tournament.

“He pretty much did everything for us that night,” Dennison said. “We’d had the mindset to be in that situation since we were in fifth grade, and in my junior year and Greg’s senior year, we finally reached that goal. That will to win got us over the hump.

“I personally tried to give him the ball all the time, and everybody fed off of him. We were all clicking. Everything he was shooting was going in.”

Avery remembers fondly the scene when he and his teammates returned to Newark that night and the celebrations that followed over the coming days.

It was a fitting end to a prep career in which Avery scored 1,131 points. He made thirdteam all-state and first-team alldistrict his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Avery became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 career points.

“I remember driving home and the fans were waiting for us when we got back to our gym,” Avery said. “We had a ceremony and had a day named after us, ‘Newark State Championship Day.’ There was a lot of support from Newark.”

Shortly after the state championship, Avery signed to play collegiately for Western Carolina. He averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 30 games, including four starts, during the 2008-09 season.

After the season, he decided to transfer to the University of Findlay, a Division II school,

Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered.

Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 4-10.

Check back next week for No. 2 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

NOS. 4-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries.

9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists.

8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24).

7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more

because of the coming birth of his daughter. During the 200910 season for the Oilers, Avery averaged 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 27 games, including five starts.

Despite having what he deemed a successful transition early on to Findlay’s program, longtime coach Ron Niekamp, who retired earlier this year after 26 seasons, told Avery after the season that he “didn’t really fit the system,” Avery said.

In search of a place to play, Avery was considering Valdosta State, a Division II school in Valdosta, Ga., when on July 26, 2010, he and two other men were accused of assaulting a man in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “They tried to hit me with a felony, but I didn’t do anything,” Avery said. “It set me back two more steps.”

Avery now is a student at the

surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the freethrow line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists.

6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 23, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held.

5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining.

4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 4-1 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd.

Newark branch of Ohio State and working for Dennison’s father, Joe, but is hoping to play competitive basketball again soon. He is considering playing on the Division III or NAIA level, or could join a semi-pro team.

Regardless of some of the ups and downs that have occurred for Avery the past threeplus years, he knows the memory of what he helped accomplish with his high school team lives on.

“It’s still unbelievable,” Avery said. “I still talk to guys who played on that team regularly, and for that game I think we all just did everything to get us that ring. We didn’t let distractions get in our way. I felt like when I was starting to get hot that we were going to win the game.”

That older refrigerator or freezer in your basement or garage is burning up as much as $150 in energy every year. Fortunately, you can recycle it without using any energy at all. We’ll pick it up free, you’ll pick up $50, and you’ll reduce your energy use. And the only finger you have to lift is your dialing finger.

Throw in an old room A/C and we’ll give you $25 off the purchase of a new ENERGY STAR® unit.

For a FREE pickup, call 1.877.545.4112 or visit gridSMARTOhio.com.

No age restrictions. Refrigerators and freezers must be in working condition and must be a minimum of 10 cubic feet in size, utilizing inside measurements. Room A/C Units will only be collected with larger appliances. AEP-Ohio contracts with JACO Environmental, an appliance recycler, to pick up and recycle refrigerators and freezers that are in working condition. This program is funded by AEP-Ohio and is available to its residential electric customers residing in Ohio. Funding for this program is limited. Customers must own the unit(s) being recycled.

Limit two units per residential address. A check will be mailed to the AEP-Ohio customer within four to six weeks after the appliance collection. Rebate drops to $35 on August 1, 2011. See website for details. © 2011 AEP-Ohio
