Saved Freedom Festival benefits USO By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna’s Independence Day celebration started with the Gahanna Lions Club’s annual parade and ended with a crowdpleasing fireworks display, thanks in large part to the Gahanna Parks & Recreation Foundation. Foundation chairman Lee Tucker thanked everyone July 4 at the Gahanna Municipal Park, where children’s games, a band, food vendors and fireworks entertained the crowd. He recognized presenting sponsor Heartland Bank, the city of Gahanna and others who donated money to make the festival a reality this year. “One-third of the donations came from the community,” Tucker said. “The community
wanted to have this.” Parade organizer Frank Treadway complimented spectators, as well as about 80 individuals and groups who participated in the July 4 tradition that has occurred since 1946. “It went very well,” he said. “We had quite a few participants. They all thought it was great.” First Baptist Church, on Havens Corners Road, won first place for its float. The Lions Club also recognized all three of the children who rode bicycles in the parade. After the city announced last year that it couldn’t provide funds to support the Freedom Festival, the foundation launched a “Save the Freedom Festival” fundraising campaign. G. Scott McComb, Heartland Bank president and CEO, said
Heartland was proud to step up as the festival’s presenting sponsor. “We felt this was a good cause to direct our efforts,” he said. “We wanted to honor the USO. There’s no better tribute than this day to thank the men and women in service. We live under the freedom they provide.” Proceeds from Freedom Festival VIP tables and the sale of glow sticks benefited the organization. The USO of Central & Southern Ohio, a nonprofit organization, relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities.

Ohio Beekeepers Association. “Honeybees are valuable,” said Stahlman, who is a full-time volunteer working with Dr. James Tew of the Ohio Honeybee Lab, as well as state and local beekeeper associations. “There’s no other place like this bee yard. We’re doing something unique, in terms of research.” Stahlman said the queen research project begins in his back yard, where queen cells are. “We run five lines of queens for central Ohio beekeepers and one line for Ohio
State,” he said. Each of the five lines, identified by color, have proven qualities that must be explored and tested for a number of qualities, including survival during winter, mite resistance, gentle temperament and honey production. “We have queens that have been artificially inseminated,” Stahlman said. “The queen cells will develop into young queens that will go to Plumbers Park.”
Jefferson Township will host some queens this summer for a honeybee research project. Plumbers Park this summer will house 10 beekeeper volunteers working to produce queen bees that have genetic traits strong enough to survive Ohio winters. “What’s happening here is a grassroots attempt to do something about the honeySee BEES, page A2 bee problems,” project director Dana Stahlman said. “It isn’t funded by a grant or the government. It’s totally funded by beekeepers.” Rob Platte, Jefferson Township parks coordinator, said the township acquired Plumbers Park in 2005 via an Ohio Public Works Grant and additional funding is being sought to develop it. The park is open for fishing only; permission must be sought for the activity. “That created an ideal location,” Platte said. “There’s no risk of the study being disturbed. The project fell in line with one the township’s core values for innovative land use and preservation concepts.” The bee project is nonprofit, he said, and any funds generated from the research go back into the bee study. In addition to Jefferson Township providing a place for the bees, the project is also supported by the Ohio State University Bee Lab in Wooster, the Ohio State German Village resident Nina Bagley harvests queen bees from Dana Stahlman’s Beekeepers Association and the Central Jefferson Township home.
Gahanna is considering options for addressing hazardous street trees, especially those affected by the emerald ash borer. City council will continue discussions July 11 on ways to assist residents who have ash trees near the street that pose safety risks. Parks and recreation director Tony Collins said Gahanna has 1,660 ash street trees, according to inventory. “The emerald ash borer has had tremendous impact on Gahanna,” he said. “Academy Ridge dealt with the issue last year, and Rathburn Woods is heavily hit this year. We’re in a position we have to take some action.” Collins has requested that council consider approving $18,000 in supplemental funding to pay for contracts with various landscape and tree companies to remove dead ash trees and grind stumps. If approved, Collins said, the funds would be used to begin removing 100 hazardous street trees this year, including those affect-
ed by the emerald ash borer. In 1992, Gahanna identified street trees as a priority in developing the city and adopted code that required developers to install street trees and maintain them for one year. According to the Ohio Revised Code, street trees are the responsibility and liability of the homeowner, Collins said. Gahanna requires a tree to be there, he said, and he believes the responsibility should be shared. Of the city’s estimated 12,000 to 14,000 street trees, about 1,660 are ash trees. The count does not include ash trees on city property. A majority of Gahann’s ash trees likely have been affected by the emerald ash borer, Collins said. The bug normally destroys the tree. “With ash trees, the whole tree can go down on its side,” he said. Thus far, Gahanna’s arbor crew has been managing publicly owned trees, Collins said. Last year, Gahanna removed almost 100 trees in parks that were deemed hazardous because of See TREES, page A2
Parks-rec mulls hiring part-time cleanup workers By MARLA K. KUHLMAN fielded numerous complaints ThisWeek Community Newspapers about the condition of parks and
Gahanna’s Parks & Recreation Department intends to clean up the parks by restoring some maintenance jobs. Troy Euton, parks and recreation deputy director, requested that council approve $42,304 in supplemental funding from the general fund for some part-time park-maintenance jobs. After some maintenance activities were cut midyear in 2010 because of budget constraints, Euton said, the department has
facilities, such as mowing, trimming, landscaping and cleanliness. “We don’t have enough bodies to keep it less shabby-looking than what our citizens expect,” he said. “This would make sure everything is clean and kept in a manner of service standards. It would provide the necessary staff to reduce the number of complaints we’re getting.” During a June 27 committee

treatment because of the ongoing expense. “Right now our concern is the hazardous trees,” Collins said. “We have a long list from calls to our office.” Mayor Becky Stinchcomb said she has considered the issue for several weeks. “My concern at this time is creating an unfunded mandate for citizens, saying you have to replace a tree,” she said. “I have a concern doing that. I prefer that they replace trees, but some can’t afford to.” Collins recommended committing to the removal of hazardous trees and stumps at a cost of about $165 per tree and leaving it up to the residents if they want to replace the trees. The city could work with residents on a possible bulk rate to purchase any new trees, he said. Council member Tim Pack said his neighborhood had come together to address the issue last year. “We appreciate neighbors getting together and taking action,” Collins said. “Where we don’t have neighborhood and civic associations, we still have dangerous trees. I’m open to suggestions.”
Continued from page A1 Continued from page A1 According to Stahlman, one of the most outstanding genetic bee breeders is New Albany’s Joe Latshaw, whose wife, Leah, sells honey at the Jefferson Township farmers market. Stahlman said the superior genetic line of queen stock at the park would be distributed to some of the 500 beekeepers located throughout Ohio. “It was a labor of love,” he said. “A business donated some materials (for boxes that will house the bees). The wax in the frame serves as a foundation for the comb to be built on. There’s a queen in each box. We have to have a good population of drones to mate with queens. A queen can mate with 20 different drones.” Stahlman, a 23-year township resident, said he started volunteering after Ohio State’s bee storage barn at the Wooster campus was destroyed by a tornado last September. “It contained years of history,” he said. He said bee losses have been higher, with 70 percent of bee colonies not surviving the winter of 2009. “We have concern about the value on honeybees,” Stahlman said. “They pollinate 40 percent of the food you eat. We’ve eliminated the food source for honeybees.” Stahlman said beekeepers need to produce more than honey. “Most beekeepers today rely on pollination,” he said. For example, Stahlman said, Lynd’s Fruit Farm rents bees
from beekeepers to pollinate apples. “The bees are transported at night, using skid loaders,” he said. “The honeybees are on pallets.” A typical price, according to Stahlman, is $65 for 10 days. “Bees pollinate the flowers,” he said. “You have to have bees as part of your crop plan.” Stahlman, who was born into a commercial beekeeping family, had his first hives when he was in the sixth grade. The 72-year-old has written several books on honeybees. He’s also one of seven registered Eastern Apicultural Society master beekeepers in Ohio, is a Certified Ohio Beekeeper and is an OSBA board member. Stahlman has been honored as the 1997 Ohio Beekeeper of the Year and was given the Distinguished Life Time Beekeeper of Ohio Award. He retired from commercial beekeeping in 2004 and as a school administrator at the Delaware Joint Vocational School in 1993. “My dream was to do what my grandfather had done, keeping bees in Ohio and Georgia,” he said. “At one time, I had 600 hives of bees.” Stahlman said most beekeepers are hobbyists with one or two hives. “If you’re growing melons or pickles or anything that requires pollination, something has to pollinate the plants,” he said. “Without pollinators, our society will change.”
damage by the borer. Council member John McAlister said he had an ash tree affected by the borer and then Hurricane Ike finished it off. McAlister said he’s in favor of a plan that requires more than one type of tree because so many trees have been destroyed by the emerald ash borer. According to Collins, the existing code requires one of three different tree species. “Our arborist would work with residents on location and species,” he said. “There may be an area where a tree wouldn’t go back due to new spacing requirements.” Looking at other communities, Collins reported the following: • Worthington removes trees and grinds stumps at the city’s expense. The city shared 50 percent of the cost for replacement and is treating some trees as part of a research study. • Dublin removes and grinds stumps, and trees are replaced at the city’s expense. Dublin also has treated some trees. • In Grandview, Grove City, Upper Arlington and Westerville, tree removal, stump grinding and replacement are all done at the city’s expense. Westerville has treated some mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com trees but is leaning away from www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Gahanna students, teachers PARKS to take classes in China
Continued from page A1
By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Some Gahanna Lincoln High School students will take a few summer classes in China. Through participation in the Hanban-Asia Society Confucius Classroom Network, 19 students and two teachers will take a twoweek trip to the Chinese cities of Beijing, Changsha and Shanghai this month. The Gahanna students, along with 50 others from across the country, will participate in the trip. “We were selected because we are a Confucius Classroom,” said Rae Harriott-White, Gahanna curriculum and field-placement coordinator. “Students also had to go through an approval process through Hanban.” In February 2010, Gahanna was one of 20 schools in America to participate in the HanbanAsia Society, through which the district started a global partnership with a sister Chinese school in Kunming, China. A high number of Gahanna students were accepted for the trip out of thousands who applied because of participation in the program, Harriott-White said. “Because we are a Confucius classroom and we’re recognized with that distinction, they included us in this special trip,” she said. According to HarriottWhite, the students have taken two years of Chinese and speak the language well. “They’ll be going to three sites
in China,” she said. “This is great opportunity for them to learn. They will have class part of the day. They’ll come to learn more about China, the culture, the language and communication.” The itinerary will include three hours a day in Mandarin language class and 90 minutes per day in a variety of cultural programs, such as mask making, martial arts and calligraphy. The Gahanna students will also visit schools to talk with Chinese students about their lives. About 20 percent of the trip will be spent sightseeing at the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall of China. Harriott-White said a grant helped pay for the students’ travel visas, while Hanban helped pay for instruction, accommodations and transportation. The students were responsible for the $1,600 airline tickets. The trip, however, won’t include a visit to Gahanna’s sister school in Kunming, China, Harriott-White said. Gahanna school officials hope
to host Chinese students from Kunming in August, though. Students headed to China are Graham Arledge, Robert Ross Candor IV, Michael Chau, Kyle Clark, Stephen Jacob, Jessica Kincaid, Ray Labrador Jr., Steven Lao, Andrea Lee, Jaeoon Lee, Sarah Lee, Nathan Levy, Kirsten Linnabary, Abigail Lutz, Renee Mathews, Jessica Nicholas, Taylor Shellhammer, Maxwell Seesholtz-McMunn and Angeline To. Lincoln foreign-language teachers Mike Kralovic and ChiWei (Amanda) Lin will accompany them. Hank Langhals, coordinator of pupil services/curriculum, told ThisWeek that Gahanna had started its Chinese program four years ago with Chinese I at the high school. The program expanded to four levels and more than 100 high school students are participating. At the elementary level, 200 students have taken two years of Chinese, and a third level is being offered. In addition to the Confucius Classroom grant, Gahanna-Jefferson is one of 22 school districts nationwide to receive a Foreign Language Assistance Program grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The grant included $202,300 for the 2010-11 school year and $1.2 million over five years to sustain and further develop the Chinese program. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com
the past. I think there are more people here.” Gahanna resident Cheryl Royer enjoyed the evening with her 5-year-old granddaughter, Carmela. “I love it,” she said. “I like the band (SWAGG). I’ve come the last three years. It seems real organized. We have a good time. Every year the fireworks are great.” Blacklick resident Maya Marlowe arrived with her family at the golf course just in time for the fireworks. “This is my first time here,” she said. “I think the fireworks are nice.”
CD 101 provided upbeat music with patriotic songs for the fireworks show that lasted about 20 minutes. In addition to Heartland Bank, other festival sponsors included Stripes Partners Superior Beverage Group, the Gahanna Rotary Club, Kemba Financial Credit Union, Eckl Parking and Sunrise Masonic Lodge 783. An anonymous family also contributed $5,000 for the festival. Tucker said fundraising already has begun for 2012 and donations could be made by going to savethefreedomfestival.com. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com

meeting, council member Brian Larick asked if the measure would increase the number of hours existing employees work. “This would be new, parttime, seasonal positions to fill the need we have,” Euton said. The starting rate for the part-time employees, Euton said, would be $9 for jobs like mowing, trimming, raking, mulching and cleaning play areas and shelters. The additional funding also would provide a small improvement to athletics turf facilities. “Most of it would be for soccer fields, trying to sustain and improve (the condition) they are now,” he said. Larick asked what kind of quality the funds would provide. “It will get us to a level that would minimize complaints,” Euton said. “It wouldn’t be a high standard but keep the grass mowed and rid of snakes. It will keep the fields green and keep them from going to dirt. This will keep the situation from getting worse.”

Columbus’ first train station (1850-1875), with an early streetcar passing along what is now the intersection of Nationwide Boulevard and High Street, circa 1870.
a.m. between the American House Hotel at State and High streets and the railroad station. With the completion of the Scioto River bridge, the omnibus service ran from the train station to all parts of the city. By 1867, there were nine omnibuses in use. They were complemented by an “express wagon” service that was begun in 1854 to deliver packages and freight to all parts of the city and a “pygmy omnibus” service that was begun by one Thomas Brockway in 1855. According to a local paper, a pygmy omnibus seated only four persons, and, “The ladies find them convenient for shopping and the beaux will not use anything else for evening parties.” That was the case at least until the more stylish hackney carriage or “hack” was introduced in Columbus during the Civil War. W. B. Hawkes had made his early fortune in the stagecoach business and now turned his attention to local transportation. His hack service was quite successful. As one local account reported, “... during the Rebellion, this species of vehicle did a thriving business. Money was plenty, officers and soldiers were prodigal of their funds, and the hack men got the benefit. A city ordinance fixed their compensation at 25 cents per passenger, yet one case came to the writer’s knowledge in which a driver charged and was paid $15 for less than 90 minutes time.” With this rapid growth, one might think that by the time Columbus reached the 1890s, it would have dozens of hacks and omnibuses on its streets. Yet there were only six omnibuses and about 30 hacks serving a city of more than 100,000 people. The reason for this lack of vehicles was the success of another mode of transportation.
On June 10, 1863, in the middle of the American Civil War, a local paper reported that something new was on the streets of Columbus. “Yesterday, at a few minutes before noon, the first car passed over the street railroad, and of course it was the observed of the observable. In the afternoon and evening, a large number of passengers from the depot availed themselves of this easy mode of reaching the hotels. Today the remaining cars will be placed on the track and regular trips will be commenced.” Plans to build a streetcar line had been first proposed in 1854, but it took the arrival of large numbers of troops in town during the Civil War to move the project forward. Initially operating only on High Street and then on Broad Street, the horsedrawn streetcars would soon be joined by other streetcar lines serving other parts of the city. By the 1890s, the streetcar lines had been electrified and consolidated into one unified Columbus Railway Power and Light Co. and Columbus was a city of “streetcar suburbs.” A local history from that time noted, “The project of building a belt railway for the transportation of freight and passengers — particularly freight — around the city has been many times proposed and sometimes definitely formulated during the past 10 or 15 years, but a positive undertaking it is yet in the future.” What was not foreseen in the 1890s was the rise of motor vehicles. When the “beltway” was completed, Interstate-270 would be the home of all sorts of vehicles. But none of them would run on rails. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Many people coming to Columbus for the first time from larger cities are astonished to find that there are few, if any, cabs to be easily found. And certainly, if one has been accustomed to find a cab waiting as soon as one stepped outside, ED Columbus is a bit disappointLENTZ ing. But in response, one should keep in mind that New York is a city of more than 8 million while Columbus’ entire metro area is only a bit larger than 1 million. Perhaps when we are a city of 8 million, we will have a cab on every corner as well. In the meantime, it would be well to point out that Columbus does have a lot of cabs. While most of them work the airport and most of the major hotels, it is not too terribly hard to get a cab to come to virtually any address in the city. Like most Midwestern cities, Columbus does not have an extraordinarily large number of cabs for a simple reason: They are not needed. The majority of people living in central Ohio rely on cars or public transportation to get around and do not find themselves regularly in need of a cab to get from place to place. It’s been that way for quite some time. Columbus was brought into being to be the new state capital of Ohio in 1812. For much of its early history, there was little need for public transportation. With the arrival of the National Road and Ohio Canal in the early 1830s, the borough of Columbus soon had 5,000 residents and became the city of Columbus in 1834. But even then, the town still remained quite compact in size, with the boundaries of North Public Lane at what is now Nationwide Boulevard and South Public Lane at Livingston Avenue. One early account of the city’s history notes that if one were planning to leave town on a long journey, word was sent to the local stagecoach office and the stage stopped at one’s front door on the way out of town. Life was a little simpler in those days. The world became a little more cosmopolitan with the arrival of the first railroad into central Ohio in 1850. The Columbus and Xenia Railroad linked the capital city to the county seat of Greene County in southwest Ohio. Why build a railroad to Xenia? In Xenia, one might catch a train on a different railroad to Cincinnati, then the largest city in Ohio. And it should be pointed out that on its arrival in central Ohio, the Columbus and Xenia Railroad did not come all the way into Columbus. Lacking a bridge across the Scioto, the railroad stopped in the nearby village of Franklinton on the west side of the river. It was because of the arrival of the railroad that the need arose for a regular form of transport between the hotels of Columbus and the railroad station. On March 9, 1853, a local entrepreneur named B. O. Ream advertised an omnibus service that would run every hour in the day starting at 6:40

County fair to honor Sheriff Karnes By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The 94th edition of the Franklin County Fair will feature some new events and will honor an old friend. Saturday, July 16, the fair’s opening day, is also Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes Day. Karnes, the longest-serving sheriff in Franklin County history, died last month of pancreatic cancer. He was 71. “He was a big fair supporter, and we want to show our respect and honor him for everything that he’s done for us,” said Allison Rushley, senior fair board member. Karnes was to have received a golden ticket from fair officials, which would have given him free
admission to the fair forever. His wife, Sandy Karnes, will get that ticket. “He was always present at the fair several days throughout the week,” Rushley said of Karnes. “He bought animals from the Junior Fair kids at the livestock sale and he purchased goods from our Junior Fair kids at the creative baking auction. He also entered his fudge and apple pie into our senior fair board contests.” Also on opening day will be three new events at the entertainment tent: a cute baby contest at 3 p.m., when children 5 and under will be wearing farm attire; a toddler trot at 4 p.m.; and a diaper dash contest at 4:30 p.m. There will be two new daily shows at the fair – bicycle stunts by Rise Above BMX Entertain-
ment, and the Kidbuck$ Game Show, where children can win prizes by doing different activities. Another daily activity is barn tours, when Junior Fair members will talk about the various animals shown at the fair. An old-fashioned draft horse pull is another new event for the fair. “It’s kind of like a truck or tractor pull. You just don’t have the loud noises,” Rushley said. “They hook the horses up, and they see how far the horses pull the weight on the track.” For those interested in more horsepower, the fair will have a truck and tractor pull at 7:30 p.m. July 22. This year, for the first time, it’s the National Tractor Pullers Association bringing a

sanctioned event to the Franklin County Fairgrounds. “I like coming up with new and creative things to get people to come to the fair,” Rushley said. “I like seeing the enjoyment on people’s faces once they come to the fair and see everything that we have to offer.” Last year’s attendance was 47,000, Rushley said, and despite rainy or hot and humid days, it has gone up overall in recent years. The Franklin County Fair will run from July 16-23 at the Franklin County Fairgrounds, 4100 Columbia St. in Hilliard. Hours are 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 16, July 22-23; and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. July 17-21. Admission is $5 and $6 (July 22-23); rides separate. For more information, visit www.fcfair.org.

New program offers rain barrels at a discount Mayor Michael B. Coleman, Councilwoman Eileen Paley and representatives from Greif Inc. and the Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation District last week announced the launch of the “Columbus GreenSpot Backyard Conservation Program.” Under the program, rain barrels currently offered through Mayor Coleman’s GreenSpot Backyard Conservation Program will be available for $45, less than one third of the $139 retail price. Residents will be required to first register their home as a GreenSpot and then either attend one of 14 workshops throughout July, August and September or pass an online quiz at www.ColumbusRainBarrels.org. “Through this public-private partnership it will be even easier for our residents to get green, saving money and the environment,”
the mayor said in a press release. “A rain barrel is an easy way to get water for yards and gardens, and the best part is, the water is free.” Columbus residents participating in the program will become familiar with the effects of urban runoff and learn about the tools to manage storm water issues. By using a rain barrel, households will recharge the ground water supply, decrease the impact of runoff to streams, and save money by reducing the use of treated tap water to water their gardens. “A rain barrel connected to a downspout is a great way to help the environment and improve household finances,” Paley said in the release. “They will keep excess storm water out of the sanitary sewer system and provide a free source of water for plants and gardens. Rain barrels reduce a fam-
ily’s demand for treated tap water, thus lowering your water bill.” EarthMinded, a subsidiary of Greif Inc., which has its headquarters in Delaware, has partnered with the city of Columbus and is providing RainStations to the city at the discounted rate. The EarthMinded RainStation rain barrel for sale through the program connects to downspouts and automatically collects runoff water from a house’s roof. It includes everything needed for installation, has a 65-gallon capacity and is easily winterized. Technical assistance is also available to participants. The city has contracted with Franklin Soil and Water to administer the program and partner with local nonprofit watershed groups to conduct the educational workshops. For more information about the
program and for a list of workshops, call 486-9613 or visit www.ColumbusRainBarrels.org. Residents need to send in payment of $45, with a limit of one per household, and register for a workshop in order to receive the RainStation. Orders may also be placed online.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen A SCREEN WITH HOLES Universal newborn screening tests, which are performed soon after birth, measure a baby’s ability to hear sounds at a few different frequencies. However, as effective as these mandatory screenings are, passing a newborn hearing test is not a guarantee against deafness. The potential problem is that infants may have some hearing at the time the test is administered but develop hearing loss in subsequent years. This finding comes from a recent study of children with cochlear implants, devices that transmit sound to the auditory nerve. Nearly one-third of the children with the implanted devices initially passed mandatory screening. With this in mind, a second round of screening one or two years later is suggested. Some babies are born with hearing problems while other children are born with normal hearing and begin to have hearing problems as they grow older. It’s important to know what to expect as your baby grows, because hearing problems can delay the development of voice, speech, and language skills. If you are concerned about your child’s hearing please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation.

Columbus Academy continues grieving process By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
As the Columbus Academy football program prepares for the coming season, players and staff continue to grieve the loss of their former leader. Vikings coach Mark Barren died on June 9, two days after suffering a heart attack while jogging near his Worthington home. Jim Collis, who replaced Barren as coach, said the team is attempting to move on from the tragedy. “We have a lot of grieving yet to do,
but we’re all in it together and we’re trying to move on as one,” Collis said. “We’ll get there. Life is just incredible.” Collis is familiar with the program, having served as head coach for 10 seasons, beginning in 1996. Barren, who was an assistant under Collis, took over in 2006. Under Collis, the Vikings were 6347, including a 13-8 win over Amanda-Clearcreek in the 2003 Division V state final. It was the school’s first state championship since 1987. Collis hopes his familiarity with the

program will help in the transition. “Things from a continuity standpoint are going to remain the same,” Collis said. “We’re going to run the same schemes and coach the kids the same way, so that’s a positive. The
only thing missing is Mark, unfortunately. Everything else will be the same.” Academy’s preseason preparation began with a three-day team camp June 20-22 at Wittenberg University. “The timing of that was good,” Collis said. “We got the kids to get away and still be together. It’s going to be a tough time here for a long time, especially this fall.” At the camp, players received instruction from the Wittenberg coaching staff, with an emphasis on fundamentals. Players also were given skills
tests and shown methods to use and improve those skills. There also was an emphasis on weight training and motivation. Collis said the remainder of the offseason will feature weight training and conditioning three days a week, leading up to the report date of Aug. 1. “We do all of our work at the summer camp (Wittenberg) and then give the kids the rest of the summer off,” Collis said. “If they’re in town, they’re expected to be there lifting and conSee VIKINGS, page B3

This week, the central Ohio high school student-athletes in my summer series talk about how self-conLARRY fidence imLARSON pacts their 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. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

Many factors cause dip in area Legion teams By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
How long does it take a trend to become the norm? In the past few years, central Ohio baseball players have started taking their talents to travel squads at the expense of American Legion teams. The players, high school coaches and Legion coaches debate the reasons for the change, but it doesn’t appear to be something that can be easily resolved. “The number of teams has decreased, but I wouldn’t say the talent has nec-
essarily decreased that much,” said Michael Higgins, baseball chairman in Legion District 12. “I think we peaked a few years back when we had a dozen or more teams in District 12. Now we have six teams in the Senior Division and we have four teams in the Junior Division, which is in its second season of being officially recognized by American Legion. “When we had 12 (Senior Division) teams, people around the state were amazed. I think the increase to 12 teams was the abnormality, not the decrease in posts we’re now experiencing.”
ECONOMIC WOES Higgins said one of the big reasons for fewer posts offering baseball is the weak economy. “The economy has definitely played a role because many of the posts can’t afford to play in tournaments every weekend in addition to the league play during the week,” Higgins said. “I also think the increasing number of participants in sports such as soccer and lacrosse has taken away some of our kids.” About a dozen years ago, Newark Post 85 ran into a similar problem and decided to only fund a few of its team’s tour-
naments. The area’s baseball gurus got together and formed the Licking County Athletics. After a few separate years, the team and Post 85 reunited and added a few other sponsors. The Athletics played a Legion schedule, a Babe Ruth schedule and also played in select elite tournaments. Pickerington Post 283 is in the same position, playing a schedule similar to what the Athletics played in the past. “Our post is the reason we still have a true Legion team,” coach Chris Weber said. “They support us financially way See LEGION, page B2

Eagles U-16 defense falters in Cup final loss By AARON BLANKENSHIP
the past two days just to make it here, and the Hawks weren’t really tested until they played us.” In the semifinal, the Eagles beat KCFC Force to avenge a 3-2 loss to the same team in a Regional Cup pool-play game a year ago. “They manhandled us on the field to knock us out of the tournament last year, but we turned the tables on them and shocked them with how physical we were,” King said. Five minutes into the game, Hopkins stopped the ball from going over the Eagles’ goal line and cleared it to midfield. Playing into a strong wind, the Eagles battled to a scoreless tie at halftime. They then dominated the second half with the wind at their backs. Agnew scored three consecutive goals and Elise Jones scored with three minutes left to make it 4-0. It was the second three-goal game of the tournament for Agnew, who finished with seven goals in five games. “We were under siege for the first eight minutes and Nicole really saved us on a ball that would have scored,” King said. “Lindsay had a great tournament and her goal just a minute into the second half really broke their spirit because they were going into a stiff wind.” •The Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls team lost to Eclipse Select 3-0 in a semifinal on June 28. “We are probably the best two teams in our region, so it’s a shame we had to meet in the semifinals,” King said. “The score wasn’t indicative of how close the game was because we gave up a couple of soft goals by our standards. We made a couple of mistakes on our end and they punished us for it.”

Brian Hanks of Worthington Post 239 throws to first base to record an out during a game against Westerville Post 171C on June 15. Post 239 is among several area Legion squads affected by the increasing popularity of travel teams.
LEGION Continued from page B1 beyond what 90 percent of other posts in Ohio do. They believe in Legion baseball and baseball has brought good publicity to our post.” Because of Post 283’s financial support, the team plays other travel squads and competes in a number of elite tournaments. “We’re in a special situation where our post supports us well financially,” Weber said. “Some posts just don’t have the money to send the team all over the state and the Midwest.”
PHILOSOPHICAL DIFFERENCES
While the bad economy can be blamed for many things, there is more to this issue. There is a philosophical difference between Legion baseball and high school baseball coaches. “The reason for the decline (in Legion baseball), in my opinion, is that there are too many baseball teams in central Ohio at this age,” Worthington Post 239 coach Jim Townsend said. “I think the talent is diluted and the result seems to be that Legion is not as competitive as it once was. “I think the high school coaches chose the easy way out and turned posts into an extension of the spring season. They want their kids playing together and that has ruined Legion baseball in central Ohio. Outside of central Ohio, Legion remains very competitive.” Post 239 went 2-2 in the state tournament last season. But Thomas Worthington coach Stephen Gussler, Worthington Kilbourne coach Jeff Boulware, Watterson coach Scott Manahan and Upper Arlington coach Matt Middleton then decided to form a travel team, Team Columbus. “There are multiple reasons for choosing not to play Legion this year,” Middleton said. “It has become a form of high school-only ball and the play is so inconsistent. We would beat up on somebody one day and then get beaten up the next day. The level of play was so drastic and inconsistent that, in this sport, you can get bored with it rather quickly. “In Columbus, it’s been about keeping the younger guys together from the same high school. In Upper Arlington, we kept the freshmen together and just played U-15 travel ball. But the older they
get, you want them competing and being successful playing with and against strong competition.” With the high school season being short in Ohio, it is difficult to put the blame solely on high school coaches, Middleton said. “It’s all about how much improvement you can make in the offseason,” he said. “Truthfully, the high school season is so short, and when you have two straight weeks of rainouts, you really accomplish very little. You really need to make your jump in improvement during the summer. “(The Team Columbus) schedule is such that we’re playing select teams and we’re playing the true Legion teams in these tournaments. That’s what we want.”
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS
what your post allows. In our case, we’re able to do both. We have played in those same tournaments with travel teams.” Yahn also pointed out a schedule difference. “In Legion, you’d play one league game every other night or something, but in these tournaments we play three to five games a weekend and less during the week,” Yahn said. “We can do more lifting for football, go to more camps and do other high school things during the week.”
OBLIGATIONS TO PLAYERS
Another big difference between most travel teams and Legion teams is the size of the roster. “Travel teams generally use 11 or 12 players all summer,” Weber said. “At Post 283, we have great players competing every day for the chance to get into the lineup. Legion rosters can be deeper and more competitive because the players have to earn their way into the lineup. And that’s the way it will be for the kids who go on to play in college.” That means a player who is slumping or not performing well can be substituted without consternation. “At Post 283, the best players play,” Weber said. “It doesn’t matter how much money their parents pay or what their parents do for a living. I’m not saying all travel teams are like that, but it doesn’t matter here.” In travel ball, there is more opportunity for coaches to be loyal to players and maybe even some favoritism when it comes to positions played based on how much money is invested by a player’s parents, or the money donated by a parent’s employer. “Let’s face it. There are probably some real good players in central Ohio who don’t play travel ball because his parents can’t afford it,” Weber said. For all their differences, Legion and travel baseball have one thing in common — trying to improve players. Nuances and financial times may change, and that leaves the door open for Legion to eventually return to some of its better years in central Ohio.
The Licking County Athletics, who lost their Babe Ruth affiliation at the conclusion of last season, also chose not to return to Legion this season and are now a travel team. “We went with a younger team with no 19-year-olds or college players this season,” coach Adam Arcuri said. “We think we have a lot of boys who plan to play in college and we wanted them to play against elite and select teams who also have older players. It’s a gauge as to where they are and where they need to be if they want to continue to play the game.” Derek Yahn, a Heath senior who plays for the Athletics, said the team is enjoying the challenge. “This allows us to travel out of town more often and we’re hanging out and becoming friends and I think that’s showing on the diamond,” Yahn said. “We’re a younger team competing against Legion teams with college players and in tournaments against older players, too. I think it will help prepare us for college baseball better. We played in a Columbus Cobras tournament against a pitcher from Xavier and a player from Ohio State.” Weber, the Pickerington Post 283 coach, said many of the kids who choose travel ball believe they get to play on a bigger stage with more college scouts and recruiters in attendance. “They want to go to showcases where they think they can be seen,” Weber said. “One way to do that is through travel baseball. bemerine@thisweeknews.com It’s all about what you want and www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
With defenders Gabby Byorth, Makenzie Costner, Nicole Hopkins and Haley Lehmkuhl and goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas leading the way, the Ohio Premier Eagles Under16 girls soccer team had shutouts in each of its first four Midwest Regional Cup games in Fox Cities, Wis. The defense wasn’t as strong in the final, when the Eagles allowed two goals in the first 12 minutes and lost to the Michigan Hawks 2-0 on June 29. “We hadn’t given up a goal the entire tournament, so we were in shock when we gave up two so quickly,” coach Chris King said. “We conceded a soft goal off a corner kick seven minutes into the game and the kids were a bit taken aback by that. Five minutes later, one of their players took a bad touch on the ball, ran into one of our defenders and went down, and the ref bit on it and gave her a penalty kick, which they scored on.” The Eagles switched from a two-forward to a three-forward formation in the second half, but the Hawks goalkeeper made saves on shots by Bailey Wilson, Emily Byorth and Lindsay Agnew. King said that his team’s 1-0 win over Eclipse Select of Illinois on penalty kicks in its final pool-play game on June 27 and its 4-0 victory over KCFC Force of Kansas in a semifinal on June 28 drained his players of much-needed energy heading into the final. “We had a tougher path to reach the final than the Hawks had and we just didn’t have enough left in the tank to come back and beat them after we fell behind 2-0,” King said. “We pressed every ball in the second half and we had some good chances, but we couldn’t finish them.

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 Garrett Brickley (Pickerington), Alex Carpenter (Westerville), Thomas Dunne (Dublin), Joo-Young Lee (Hilliard), Matthew Moosavian (Westerville), Mert Selamet (Dublin), David Shepherd (Dublin), Blake Stewart (Dublin), Drew Thompson (Pickerington) and Nate Yankovich (Blacklick). Dunne (Dublin Coffman), Carpenter (St. Charles), Lee (Hilliard Darby), Thomp-
son (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 seasons. 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 in-
clude 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, 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 19-20. “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.�

His point total broke the all-divisions 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 seconds on June 2. That time eclipsed her 1998 meet record of 11.74 and broke the all-time mark of 11.63 set in 1993 by Dayton Dunbar’s Danielle Twitty. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and captured the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. Carpenter also helped Brookhaven’s 400 relay to a seventh-place finish.

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.

G. Michael’s Bistro serves seafood treasures Summer officially just started, but I’m already worried you’re going to blow it. How? Well, by missing out on great-here today, gone-tomorrow delicacies. That would be a shame, because eating fleetingly available seasonal treasures — and I’m not even talking about vegetables — not only thrills your taste buds, but it fills you with a seize-the-day pleasure that makes life richer. You want that, right? If not, stop reading. If yes, get yourself to G. Michael’s for a plate of rare and incredible seafood. With its warm-weather menu in place, G. Michael’s has lightened up a bit. I’ll eventually get to some wonderful items on that list (and how to get them at a discount), but first I want to point you to the recurring summertime specials that have gotten me so “Don’t miss it!” excited: sublime and difficult-to-find whitefleshed salmon plus some of the best soft-shell crabs around. Summer is prime soft-shell crab season, and I love those crazy-looking things. Unfortunately, they too often arrive un-

After 14 years in Northland, Spain to reopen in Lewis Center
By Chris Parker/ThisWeek
Spain Restaurant is opening at the intersection of Powell Road and U.S. Route 23 after being in Northland for 14 years
A new era in the history of Spain Restaurant begins in Lewis Center. After 14 years in the Northland area, the restaurant has relocated to 76 Powell Road, in the former Beeb’s Deli location. Owner Andres Casal said he closed the Northland site in late May to concentrate on his new store, set to open later this month. “The space is comfortable,” he said. “It’s nice — not too big, not too small.” He has spent the last several months renovating the interior, building a bar and installing a new floor and seating. The 3,600-square-foot building seats 120, with another 40 on the patio. The menu offers many traditional Spanish dishes, such as paella, gazpacho and cabrito, or goat, which is marinated for four days before being slow-cooked. The bill of fare is heavy on seafood dishes, with beef and poultry dishes represented as well. There’s even duck a l’orange, using Casal’s own special recipe. Most dinner entrees are in the $17 to $20 range. In addition to a set lunch menu, 10 specials will be featured for the afternoon crowd, Casal said. No lunch item will top $10, he said. All desserts — including flan, cheesecake and tres leches cake — are made from scratch. Spain also will carry a full liquor license but will not offer tapas, a style of small plates often misinterpreted in American restaurants. “Maybe in the future I’ll open a tapas bar — a real tapas bar — downtown,” he said. As with the previous location, the latest Spain will have white tablecloths and linen napkins
for a sophisticated look but a casual ambience. The restaurant got its start in 1994 on the West Side. Casal, who began cooking professionally in restaurants in New Jersey, was hired at the original location shortly after it opened. He bought his way into the ownership over the years. Casal will reopen Spain nightclub in the former storefront at 888 W. Dublin-Granville Road in the Best Western Hotel in the next week or so, he said. It will be open Friday and Saturday. Yet, the neighborhood couldn’t seem to get back on the upswing, so Casal decided to move to an area that’s closer to his customer base. With few upscale dining options in the immediate area, the restaurant is perfectly situated between Polaris and nearby Powell, he said. “It’s good for me,” he said. “Competition is good but sometimes it’s good to not have too much competition.” Misperceptions still persist about Spanish cooking, which tends to be lumped in with any cuisine south of the American border, Casal said. He said his style of cuisine is largely uncomplicated, allowing for clean, natural flavors. “I think the best food is the simplest,” he said. Spain will be open for lunch Monday through Friday and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (740) 548-6900.
