City looking into Tech Center TIF Medical offices may be built on 12-acre parcel near Hamilton-270 By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Gahanna City Council is considering the establishment of a tax-increment-financing (TIF) district for a 12-acre parcel on the southeast portion of Tech Center Drive. The TIF district would open the door

to a 40,000-square-foot medical-office facility. It would be within phase 1 of the Buckles tract development plan, a 115acre piece of undeveloped property along Hamilton Road, just south of I-270. Development director Anthony Jones said the Tech Center Drive westward extension is being constructed through the property and that the extension would

transform it into three separate sites that would become available for economic development. “As part of the TIF, we’re installing infrastructure for four individual parcels ranging from 1.5 to 6 acres,” Jones said during a July 11 committee meeting. The medical offices would be on 3 acres.

“Once the road is in, there will be a lot more interest in this site,” Jones said. “We have a great project here that will provide significant return to the community in a short time.” Jones said negotiations are ongoing with the medical group and it would be premature to name it. If negotiations proceed, he said, a groundbreaking would

Charter recommendation would stagger council terms By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With one of four proposed recommendations, Gahanna’s Charter Review Commission hopes to prevent future November elections that could change the city’s entire leadership in one fell swoop. CRC chairman Paul L. Bittner presented to council July 5 the commission’s recommendation, which includes changing the city’s four ward council terms from the current twoyear terms to four-year terms. The current ward seats that up for election this year would remain two-year terms, with the terms changing to four years beginning in 2013. The council ward seats then would be staggered with the three at-large council seats

Bittner said the consensus of the commisthe city offices of mayor, city attorney, at-large council and ward council seats would not all sion was that proposing such a substantial change would not be appropriate based on the be subject to election in the same year. Under the existing charter, the entire elected city government could be replaced in one See TERMS, page A2

Gahanna service and engineering leaders will revisit options to help control erosion and flooding along the McKenna Creek watershed but move forward to accept bids to build a detention basin on city property near the Woods at Shagbark. Service director Dottie Franey told city council committee members and Shagbark residents July 11 that she would contact Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Columbus representatives to discuss more ways to alleviate erosion and flooding issues, looking at specific areas north of Morse Road. She said she estimates the $400,000 detention basin would be the most time-efficient and costeffective solution that would be on city-owned property. The project would be funded via the city’s stormwater utility fund. “We’ll propose questions to Columbus and see whether they will refine drainage studies,” Franey said. In addition, she wants to explore the possibility of Columbus offering storm-sewer credits to businesses that would upgrade stormwater management practices. She’ll also ask if Columbus requires a business to upgrade stormwater management after a facility changes ownership. Franey said Gahanna had met with Columbus two years ago. “While they understood our situation, they were not compelled to perform the necessary coordination to make the projects feasible,” she said. “It’s also worth noting that even if some modifications were made in Columbus, the basin would probably still be necessary due to the volume of water

that needs detained.” The original design of the basin would have delayed approximately 43 percent to 56 percent (depending on the intensity of the storm) of the flow through the downstream areas of the watershed, she said. “However, to achieve that, we would have to remove the majority of trees between Shagbark and Giant Eagle,” Franey said. “We recognized that that would have a significant aesthetic impact on the condominiums that face Giant Eagle; therefore, we redesigned to a smaller basin that will hold back between 33 percent and 49 percent of the flow but will leave a buffer of existing trees and vegetation and allow room for newly planted trees between the condominiums and the new basin.” Many residents from the Woods at Shagbark say they oppose the proposed basin because of the loss of mature trees that hide them from Giant Eagle, as well as the environmental effect on the existing habitat. George Mrus, president of the Shagbark condominium association, spoke in support of the basin July 5, saying it’s the most viable solution for the greater good. Sanctuary Place resident Louis Houser also supported the basin, or at least some method to prevent flooding. “Something needs to be done to mitigate the erosion,” he said. Franey said 2 acres would be disturbed for the construction of the basin that would have a maximum storage capacity of nearly 2 million gallons. About 50 trees would be removed, and a landscape plan has a total of 42 new tress to be planted. See SHAGBARK, page A2

Gahanna sisters share golden wedding anniversary By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Gahanna has been the backdrop of romance for sisters and their husbands, who simultaneously will celebrate 50 years of marriage on July 16. Ron and Shirley (Beem) Ishmael and Fred and Connie (Beem) Bowers all attended Gahanna Lincoln High School, where they met and fell in love in the 1950s. Shirley, Ron and Fred were members of the class of 1959, and Shirley’s sister, Connie, graduated in 1960. When the couples announced their engagements, Irene Beem told her daughters she wouldn’t plan two weddings in one year. At the time, Irene Beem owned Gahanna-based Beem’s Beauty Shop, and

her customers successfully lobbied for a double wedding. The two couples were married July 16, 1961, at Gahanna Community Church. The Rev. John Selvey officiated. Shirley Ishmael said commitment, communication and lots of prayer helped her marriage last. “Faith has always been important to us,” she said. “We’re all close to each other’s children and grandchildren. We’ll celebrate our anniversaries together. We’ve been very blessed.” The two couples worship together at Shepherd Church of the Nazarene in Gahanna. “It takes faith,” Connie Bowers said of a successful marriage. “I think that’s a foundation for the marriage. If you have a strong faith, that’s where respect and

love come from. You need to treat each other with respect. We were also taught commitment.” To Bowers, it seemed like all of Gahanna had attended her wedding 50 years ago, when her younger brother and sister served as ring bearers. “It was a big deal back then,” Ishmael said. “(The newspaper) wrote about a lot of social things.” The couples have deep roots in Gahanna. “Fred grew up in what’s now the historical society’s Clark House,” Ishmael said. “Connie and I moved here in ’47. We all grew up in Gahanna and have stayed here.” According to Ishmael, of the 87 students in the class of 1959, eight married See ANNIVERSARY, page A2 Fred and Connie (Beem) Bowers (left) and Ron and Shirley (Beem) Ishmael.

SHAGBARK Continued from page A1 Engineer Scott Sonnenberg, whom Shagbark residents had contacted, suggested a slight modification of the actual design of the proposed basin, along with ideas to make it more of a wetland to encourage a more dynamic natural habitat. “For what you can control, I think it’s worthwhile to proceed on this site,” he said. “I don’t think the basin as designed is beneficial to the city, watershed and creek, as a redesigned basin could be for cost ratio and environmental costs.” Council member Nancy Mc-

Ron and Shirley (Beem) Ishmael

Gregor said the basin would be only a partial fix, and leaders have to consider the cost of losing houses and condominiums downstream. “I don’t see the point in delaying bids at all on the hope Columbus will do something different,” she said. Franey said she would advertise the project and continue research. “We can move forward without risk,” she said. “We can cancel the bid or let it keep going.” Franey said she would return with a recommendation to council July 25.

ANNIVERSARY Continued from page A1 classmates and still are married. For Ishmael’s daughter, Tammie Schremser, the 50-year marriage is a point of pride. “I’m very proud of my parents for making it to 50 years and still being so totally head over heels in love with each other,” she said. “They started dating before they were 16 years old. Mom even went off to Ohio University to college, but they made it through it all and their love has endured.”

Ron Ishmael retired from Lucent Technologies, and Shirley retired from Gahanna-Jefferson schools as a bus driver for specialneeds students. The couple has three children and four grandchildren. Fred Bowers also retired from Lucent Technologies, and Connie retired from John R. Conte, DDS. They have two children and five grandchildren. A private family dinner will be held Saturday to celebrate the couples’ anniversaries.

TERMS Continued from page A1 commission’s knowledge about the city’s history and the time constraints it was under to make recommendations to council by June 30. If such a substantial change were going to be put before the voters, Bittner said, more extensive input from, and extensive discussion with, the community, should occur first. Another CRC recommendation to put before the voters in November is to change Section 3.04, Executive and Administrative Powers. Pursuant to this change, the mayor would be required to present an annual “State of the City Address” during the first quarter of every calendar year. Bittner said the purpose of the address would be to provide the public with an update directly from the mayor. Although the content of the actual address is not dictated in the charter, it likely would include a discussion regarding the prior year, the current state of the city and any strategic initiatives and goals, from the mayor’s perspective. The address wouldn’t be part of a regular council meeting and would be presented at a time and place determined by the mayor, with notification to the public. The commission also proposed to change the role of the Civil Service Commission to make it more of an appellate body to hear appeals from the classified service of the city, Bittner said. The commission also has recommended minor word changes for consistency and clarification purposes to Sections 3.07, 4.08

and 4.14. The deadline to file the proposed city charter changes with the Franklin County Board of Elections is Aug. 10. Members of the Charter Review Commission were recognized July 5 for their volunteer work. They are Bittner; Alvin McKenna, vice chairman; Bobbie Burba, Christopher Franzmann, Dewitt Harrell, Margaret Trim and Dan Willis.

They also want to wear their hearing devices when walking, running, bicycling, playing tennis, hiking in the woods, and kayaking. After all, active people don’t want to limit their experiences by not being able to hear the sounds of rushing water and chirping birds. With this in mind, hearing instrument manufacturers are producing devices that utilize nanotech-based coatings that prevent moisture from seeping into water-sensitive circuitry. Along with a cover that protects the microphone from moisture and an easily replaceable wax protection system, these instruments also deliver the latest in automated functionality.

Columbus Academy group provides relief to residents after tornado By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tornado-ravaged Joplin, Mo., was a classroom of life lessons for Columbus Academy students and teachers who spent a week performing relief work there recently. “It was one of those experiences that slaps everything in your life into perspective,” said Karen Mozenter, an academy teacher from Gahanna. “It makes you see everything with a new lens. I’ll never look at things the same way again. Those people went from life like ours to nothing but the clothes on their back and the few items they could sift out of the rubble.” Academy senior Mark Morford saw pictures of Joplin before and after the May 22 tornado. “The pictures didn’t tell the tale,” he said. “It was kind of hard at some points. There was so much wreckage.” The school’s volunteer service group of two teachers and four students worked through the National Relief Network, performing residential demolition and volunteering at a Salvation Army distribution center. “It was a very powerful experience,” said Tim Morford, an academy history teacher. “The scope of the destruction is indescribable. The work, mostly demolition and removal of debris, as well as some sorting and distribution of donated goods, was exhausting and yet immensely rewarding. The stories we heard and the gratitude shown by the residents of Joplin will remain with us long after the town is rebuilt.” Even though the work from June 19 to 25 felt like “a drop in the bucket,” Mozenter said, it was rewarding as a teacher to see the effect the trip had on students. “It was transformative to see how responsible they were and how they dealt with the people they met,” she said. “We had the opportunity to meet with the homeowners of our work sites.” In a trip blog, Morford describes the experience of Sam, a high school art teacher. “He saw a wall of black clouds approaching, heard the familiar railroad sound and hurried into his base-

ment as things started crashing around him,” Morford wrote. “He crawled under a table and says he thought he was going to die. … He came outside to an unrecognizable but silent scene. The next thing he saw was one man running down the middle of the street, screaming, ‘like in a horror movie.’It was his neighbor’s son, looking for his parents.” Senior Stephan Kim blogged on June 23 that his arms were scraped, his legs bruised and his entire body itched of fiberglass. “But my experience here has been priceless, indescribable and will forever be in my heart,” he said. “Today we attacked a new house that looked like it was impossible, but I wish I could show you the improvement we made just in one day: amazing. This trip overall was so humbling and made me realize the small things in life.” Kim said he hopes Columbus Academy students could try to empathize with a tornado victim. Mozenter has performed a variety of service work, but she said nothing compares with the Joplin relief efforts. “You felt that you were part of it, making a difference,” she said. “You really got a sense of what it was like. It wasn’t like we were helping a community different from ours.” While student Mark Morford worked at the Salvation Army center, he lent his cell phone to a man so he could reconnect with his family. “I told him I was from Ohio,” he said. “The people there were so happy and surprised for the help. They treated us like heroes. They’re in such a terrible situation and focused on you. It was pretty amazing. It’s a life-changing experience.” Morford said he would like to return to help again. “An anonymous donor covered our fees,” he said. “It’s probably hard to get the means and time to do it. Another school or church that works with National Relief (Network) took over where we left off.” Others from the Columbus Academy who participated in the service trip were senior Cami Mampieri of Westerville and recent graduate Alex Shahade of Dublin.

DEVELOPMENT Continued from page A1 by locking in the taxable worth of real property at the value it holds at the time the authorizing legislation was approved. Payments derived from the increased assessed value of any improvement to real property beyond that amount are directed toward a separate fund to finance the construction of public infrastructure defined within the TIF legislation. “There have been a lot development plans for this particular area,” Jones said. “What we have here is a potential user for a highend office complex. This will set precedent going forward.” To make the site ready for development, public infrastructure improvements still must be constructed, including sanitary sewer extensions, stormwater extensions, traffic signals, curb cuts and a public road entering into the site. The preliminary cost estimate for such infrastructure improvements is $580,000. An ordinance approved by city council on July 5 authorizes the city to enter into contract with Advanced Civil Design to determine the final engineering cost estimates for the infrastructure improvements. Jones said the TIF district would capture a portion of the property taxes generated from the development of the project site via what is known as “payments in lieu of taxes” (PILOTS). The city would collect PILOTS to offset the initial infrastructure cost required for the project. To establish a TIF district, the city would be required to get the consent from the Gahanna-Jefferson Public School District. On June 29, the Gahanna school board passed a resolution consenting to the creation of the TIF district. In addition, the board agreed to contribute 50 percent of

what the district would have received in property taxes, stemming from the development of the site, to assist the city in offsetting the infrastructure cost required for the project. The proposed TIF district would be for 30 years, and no propertytax abatement would be allowed within the TIF district, Jones said. The TIF would collect all property-tax revenues stemming from the development of the project site, with the school district contributing 50 percent of its share of taxes until the cost of public-infrastructure improvements is reimbursed. The city and school district agreed to have the school district’s financial contribution to the project limited to the cost of the public infrastructure items, with a 10percent contingency amount, which is capped at $638,000. Upon the repayment of the public infrastructure costs, Jones said, the school district would be made whole throughout the remainder of the TIF district. In addition, the remaining PI-

LOTs generated by the TIF district would be used to repay the city for the local-match funds as part of the Tech Center Drive westward extension and any public park improvements necessary on the Buckles tract property. Jones said the PILOT payments scheduled to be collected from the medical-office facility alone are expected to be $144,376, with the school district contributing 50 percent of its property-tax collections. This estimated PILOT payment schedule would allow the city to be reimbursed for its public infrastructure costs within five years. Mayor Becky Stinchcomb said the property currently is being farmed. “As we create value, the schools will have an immediate return,” she said. “I’m pleased they saw investment, just on three of the acres.” Jones said this first phase of the Buckles-tract development plan represents the first commercial development project on the site, as a result of constructing the Tech Center Drive western extension.

Track & Field

Lions’ Blankenship vaults to national title By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Gahanna Lincoln High School’s Jake Blankenship captured another pole vault title by winning the event at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals. Blankenship cleared 17 feet, 3/4 of an inch in the meet that was held June 18 at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, N.C. That topped his performance in the Division I state meet on June 4 at Ohio State, where he won the pole vault title by matching the state record

of 17-0 set by Olentangy Liberty’s Joey Uhle. Blankenship, who competed unattached at nationals, tied for 18th with 10 points, behind the first-place Knightdale (N.C.) Track and Field Club (28). “I was very excited on winning because I did not expect to win at all,” said Blankenship, who will be a senior in the fall. “There were so many other vaulters vaulting higher than me. I was glad to take the national title, especially as a junior.” Winners received a medal and a na-

tional championship ring. Uhle, who finished second (16-6) to Blankenship at state, also finished second (16-8 3/4) at nationals. Liberty graduate Chris Uhle, Joey’s twin brother, tied Cameron Meyer of Lake Charles, La., for sixth (16-3/4). Joey will attend the Air Force Academy and Chris is a Virginia Tech recruit. Former Westerville North standouts Brian and Jeff Hannaford called winning the four-mile relay a form of redemption. The Hannafords, who are fraternal twins, teamed with fellow 2011 North

graduate Ryan Weldon and North junior Jacob Dumford to win the race in 17 minutes, 38.17 seconds. Brian Hannaford was returning to the track after a disappointing finish to his high school career. He was in position to win the 3,200 meters in the Division I state meet when he lost his right shoe with about four laps remaining. A competitor stepped on Hannaford’s heel about 600 meters into the race. He anchored the winning relay at nationals. “I wanted to redeem myself and prove

to some people that I could do some good things,” he said. Jeff Hannaford, who ran the third leg of the race, missed his senior track season because of academic reasons. He also missed the cross country state meet last fall because of a disciplinary issue unrelated to the sport. “I wanted to redeem myself at the national meet,” Jeff said. “It was awesome,” Brian said of running with his brother. “We had some high See TRACK, page B2

Commentary

Athletes describe ideal coach One of the most critical aspects in the development of a young person comes when an older individual provides a model on how to grow and be successful. While parents set the standard for influencing their daughters and sons, coaches can have an enormous impact on how student-athletes LARRY perceive themLARSON selves, how hard they want to work to get better and how they make adjustments when things go right or wrong. This week, the high school student-athletes writing in my summer series detail the qualities they like best in their coaches. Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “I like a coach whose top goals are not only the success of the team but also are geared towards the betterment of the athletes and people around him.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “I love having a coach who wants what is best for me and is willing to push me to be the best. It is also important that a coach is there for you on a bad day.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “To me, the key things for being a successful coach is knowledge of the sport and being patient with the athlete.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I like an intense coach who coaches me to improve every day and who knows the potential of his or her players and refuses to let them fall short.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “I like coaches who have a sense of humor and who are relaxed, but at the same time with that coach, you know you can’t slack off and always have to work hard.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “What is important to me is that a coach has experience in pole vaulting and has had multiple different inputs from other coaches and how to be successful in vaulting.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I like a coach that is laid back and easy going, but is always confident in their team and always wants to compete at the highest level of play.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “What is important to me is that a coach is willing to get you to be the best and puts time into your effort. Also, I like coaches who will help you prepare for the next level of your sport.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I like to see motivation and sometimes frustration from a coach because it shows that they care about their athletes and want to bring out the best in them.” Next week, the student-athletes will write about one of the vital crossroads in their careers: how to handle defeat and disappointment. I’ll see you at a game.

Jeff Backes, who was named Mr. Football the week of the 2000 Division I state final, rushed for 183 yards and had a game-saving interception in a 15-9 win over Solon.

Top Individual Performances: No. 5

Backes powered UA to state title By PATRICK DOLAN

Counting down to No. 1

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In the days leading up to the 2000 Division I state championship game between the Upper Arlington High School football team and Solon, Golden Bears running back and safety Jeff Backes was named Ohio’s Mr. Football. More than 10 years later, Backes admits that he felt some additional pressure to play well because of the award. However, he didn’t let the pressure get the best of him as he rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 15-9 victory on Dec. 2, 2000, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. UA finished 15-0 and became the first central Ohio team to win the big-school state title since the inception of the playoffs in 1972. “No other Mr. Football (honorees) had won the state championship, so in a way there was some added pressure,” said Backes, a 2001 UA graduate who went

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. 6-10. Check back next week for No. 4 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com. NOS. 6-10: 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 touch-

downs 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 5135 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the freethrow line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 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 surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 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 free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 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.

on to play for Northwestern University. “But I was confident in my teammates and my own abilities.” Darrell Mayne, who was UA’s coach at the time, would have preferred the Mr. Football announcement to have been made after the championship game.

“As a coach, you don’t want one of your (players) to have that honor bestowed on them before a big game like that,” said Mayne, who coached the Bears from 1998-2004. “That just adds to the adrenaline flow of the opponent. But what Jeff did that game is a testament to his toughness be-

cause he rose to that challenge. “It was a tremendous performance on his part. He had a great supporting cast, but nonetheless it was a great performance. Any time you rush for 180 yards in a Division I state championship game, I think that’s a superior performance.”

Backes, who was 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds in his senior season at UA, opened the scoring in the championship game with a 15yard touchdown run with 8 minutes, 23 seconds left in the first quarter. The two-point conversion gave UA an 8-0 lead. On the touchdown run, Backes took the handoff from quarterback Brian Ramey on a draw play and broke a tackle by Solon safety Steve Watson at the 5-yard line. Solon, which finished 14-1, reached the end zone in the second quarter but failed to convert the two-point conversion and trailed 8-6 at halftime. The Comets got the ball to start the second half but went three-andout, and the ensuing punt gave UA the ball on its own 38. On the Bears’ first offensive play of the second half, Backes took the handoff from Ramey and ran to the right behind left tackle Simon Fraser and left guard Matt Lisi, both of whom pulled on the play.

Ohio Elite squad captures tournament title By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The ceremonial drenching — and the victory — must have been quite refreshing for Ohio Elite 14-and-under baseball coach David Lee. Ohio Elite beat the Ohio Force of Cincinnati 7-1 in the Buckeye Elite Showcase Tournament 14-and-under championship game on July 10 at Olentangy High School. As the team celebrated in the outfield on a hot afternoon, players poured a cooler of water over Lee. Ohio Elite improved to 41-9 this season.

Pitcher Brad Wilson, who will attend Northridge, pitched a complete game. He allowed six hits, struck out eight and walked one. “We’re starting to come together as a team,” Wilson said. “We’ve been having trouble the first couple of weeks, but everybody is starting to hit at the same time, everybody is fielding, all of our pitching is coming together. We’re coming together very well.” Cameron Comer’s RBI single scored Kyle Galyk with the game’s first run in the fifth inning. “We just came out and hit the ball like we knew how to, played like we knew how

to and we knew we’d win,” said Comer, who attends Olentangy Liberty. Ohio Elite added three runs in the sixth, highlighted by Tyrell Harris’ two-run single, and three runs in the seventh, with Comer delivering a two-run single. Second baseman Evan Lee, the coach’s son, made a key defensive play when he caught a line drive and doubled off Force leadoff batter Jordan Ramey at third base in the fourth inning to keep the game scoreless. Ohio Elite advanced to the title game by beating the East Side Irish 18-5 in six innings, the Great Lakes Giants 10-2, the Academy Stars of Buffalo 3-2 and Team

New Era of Buffalo 16-5 in five innings. Ohio Elite received a championship Tshirt, plaque and commemorative bat. “We’ve really peaked the last couple of weeks,” coach Lee said. “Brad pitched a complete game. We knew coming in he was one of our top pitchers. ... The best thing with our staff is we’re eight, nine deep and they all throw.” •The Columbus Cobras 18-and-under team reached a semifinal but lost to the Lookouts of Alliance 4-1 on July 10 at Dublin Jerome.

Dumford ran the opening leg at nationals and was followed by Weldon. “It was a good chance to run against some pretty good competition,” Dumford said. Weldon hopes to walk on the track team at Ohio State. He chose the Buckeyes over a scholarship offer from Miami University. “We were really excited,” Weldon said. “We were just shooting to be All-Americans, so winning was a huge shock. The car ride back to Ohio was awesome.” The top six finishers in each event were named All-Americans. North tied for 18th with 10 points. “The (relay) win was a fitting end to the high school careers of three of North’s most talented distance squad,” said track coach Johnny Jackson, who did not attend the meet. “We have had faster individual runners at North, but not as many at one time. They have been working toward this for the past two years, so it was nice to see that with a lot of skill and a little luck everything worked out as planned.” North distance coach Tom Brumlik attended the meet and coached the relay.

Blankenship cleared 5.05 meters (about 16 feet, 5 3/4 inches). Robert Renner of Slovenia won the event with an effort of 5.25 meters (about 17-1/4) and Melker Svard Jacobsson of Sweden was second at 5.15 meters (about 170). chester, finished sixth (195-2) in the boys hammer throw. New Albany graduate Taneisha Cordell finished second (2:09.9) in the 800 meters behind Kimberley Ficenec of Stafford, Va. (2:09.84). Cordell, who will compete at the University of Miami (Fla.), had won the event at state (2:07.35). Cordell, Mycah Mason, Mirra Galbreath and Lexi Simpson finished 17th (9:28.95) in the 3,200 relay.

side and outraced Solon linebacker Marc Leighton and Comets cornerbacks J.T. Staiger and Justin Bitner down the right side to the end zone for a 62-yard touchdown. The extra point by John Tarpy gave UA a 15-6 lead with 10:53 left in the third quarter. “It was a beautiful lead block by Simon Fraser, and Jeff popped it and went down the sideline,” Mayne said. “They weren’t going to catch him.” “Two linemen were pulling on the play,” Backes said. “We had an athletic line, which allowed us to do a lot of counter plays. (The linemen) made their blocks, and it turned into a footrace (to the end zone).” Solon cut the deficit to 15-9 on a 36-yard field goal by Tim Echan with 4:18 left in the third quarter but wouldn’t cross into Bears territory again until its final possession, which started from its own 30 with 1:40 remaining in the game. The Comets needed just five plays to reach the UA 22. Then, after an incomplete pass on first down, Solon quarterback Jay Price tried

to hit running back Scott Greenberg, who had lined up as a receiver, down the middle of the field in the end zone. However, Backes stepped in front of Greenberg and intercepted the pass at the goal line, returning the ball to the UA 11 with 46 seconds left. “They were in a four-receiver set and were trying to stretch the field and get one of the seams,” Mayne said. “The quarterback put a little bit of a loft on the ball and right away I thought, ‘Man, I think Jeff will pick this off.’ Of course, he did, and he had the presence of mind to not try to be a hero and try to return it (for a touchdown).” “Someone turned to me in the huddle and said, ‘Make a play, Jeff,’” Backes said, “and a couple plays later, I made a read on the ball and the rest is history.” UA’s offense came onto the field and, after two kneel-downs by Ramey, the game was over and the celebration began. “After Jeff scored (in the third quarter), from that point on, both sides couldn’t move the ball,” said Ramey, also a 2001 UA graduate. “Then, all of a sudden, (the Comets) go to the no-huddle offense and start moving the ball.

Ohio Elite opened the tournament with a 5-1 win over the Ohio Orioles Black before losing to North Canton 3-2. “It’s unfortunate that we didn’t get it done against North Canton, but that’s the nature of tournament play,” coach Chris Huesman said. “You have to win them to move on. We didn’t get that done.” Ohio Elite rebounded to beat the JBR Rays of Green Bay (Wis.) 8-0. Hilliard Davidson’s Mike Scaglione allowed two hits, struck out five and walked one in a complete-game effort. Ohio Elite and the Columbus Cobras 17-and-under team were tied at 10 on July 9 at Granville when the game was suspended because of darkness. Ohio Elite opted not to return to Granville on July 10 to complete the game in the silver championship bracket. Huesman not only was able to give his team valuable experience during the tournament, he also was able to showcase his complex at Jerome, where he is coach. “We have teams from all over the state, contiguous states and Canada coming over, and it’s always nice for them to see our facilities and what we have to offer,” Huesman said. Other champions were the Stark County Terriers in the 18-andunder division, the North Georgia Barons in the 16-and-under division and the North Coast Vipers in the 15-and-under division.

round with a come-from-behind 5-4 win over Steve’s Sports of Mayfield. Trailing 4-2 with two outs in the seventh inning, the Cobras’ Kendall Johnson hit a routine fly ball to left fielder Drew Teller, who dropped it, allowing the tying runs to score. Gahanna graduate Josh Bokor, who recently completed his freshman season at Ohio State, singled to score Johnson with the winning run. Teller’s two-run double helped Steve’s Sports take a 3-0 lead in the fourth. Grove City graduate T.J. DeVore’s pinch-hit triple in the sixth scored Johnson and closed the Cobras to 3-2. Russ Hogue earned the win in relief. He then pitched a complete game against the Lookouts. “We were flat all day, even the first game, and then we put it together at the end,” Cobras coach Harry Huskey said. “We got our emotional high and then we sit around for 45 minutes and we came out and didn’t play real well again. The other team took advantage of our three errors and we only had four hits, so we didn’t deserve to win that game.” The Cobras are 35-6 heading into the Pastime Best of the Midwest Tournament at Wright State and the University of Dayton on Thursday, July 14. •The Ohio Elite 17-and-under team finished 2-1-1 in the 18-and- fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com under division.

lare, who won two state doubles and two state singles titles for Kings Mills Kings High School from 2004-07. “They both have very good serves and return of serves. They knew what they were doing.” “They got the ball low at your toes consistently and put the pressure on,” Williams said. “The only thing you can do is serve better and not miss so many first serves. I missed too many first serves and that ended up being a big factor.” Because of low turnout, Wickertree canceled the women’s open in addition to the men’s 45 and men’s 55 divisions. That worked to the benefit of Witsken and Schiller. “We were glad that there weren’t that many teams because we are not young bucks anymore,” Witsken said. “It was 90 degrees and an on-court temperature of 120 degrees. That plays with your mind a little bit as well as your on-court abilities.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

nowhere (Backes) makes the interception. It was pandemonium on the sidelines.” During the postgame celebration, a UA fan held a sign that read, “Backes is God.” “He’s been telling us all year that the offensive line is his savior,” Lisi said after the game. “Tonight ... he was our savior.” Backes finished the 2000 season with a then-state record 3,353 yards rushing and 44 touchdowns. According to the OHSAA, he now ranks third in state history in rushing yards in a season, behind Bedford Chanel’s Tony Franklin (3,439) and Williamsburg’s Jason Bainum (3,386), both of whom surpassed his total in 2001. “He just continued to produce over and over again,” Ramey said of Backes. “It’s pretty amazing what he did (in the championship game).” Backes now is 28 years old and a thirdyear medical resident in orthopedic surgery at Mount Carmel West. He and his wife, Marissa, have two daughters — Leighton, 23 months, and Brooklyn, 7 months. pdolan@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Eighteen years after he earned All-American honors for the University of Alabama men’s tennis team, Rick Witsken still is on top of his game. Witsken and Matt Schiller defeated 2011 Ohio State graduate Matt Allare and Buckeyes senior Steve Williams 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 in the men’s open final of the Bernard Master Tennis Classic on July 10. The two-day doubles tournament was held at the Wickertree Tennis Club in north Columbus. “I didn’t play for seven years. (Then two years ago) I played well in an individual tennis tournament,” said Witsken, who was one of four players who represented the United States in the Tony Trabert Cup in New Zealand last February. “All of a sudden it was like, ‘Wow, I think I can still do this.’ That kind of motivated me.” “Any time there’s a competitive tournament like this, you know you’re going to playing against

guys like these,” Schiller said. “It’s fun to see if I have any skills left. That’s the main reason I come.” Schiller, who lives in Carmel, Ind., and Witsken, who lives in Zionsville, Ind., also captured the men’s 35 title with a forfeit victory over Toledo’s James Kaser and Lima’s Jerome Moenter in the final. They received $800 apiece for winning the open title and an additional $200 each for winning the 35 championship. Witsken has played in the Bernard Master doubles tournament four times, winning the open division three times and finishing second the other time. Allare, who lives in Columbus, and Williams, of Manlius, N.Y., earned $400 each for reaching the open final while Moenter and Kaser each received $100 for finishing second in the 35 division. Allare and Williams struggled against the return game of Witsken and Schiller. “At Ohio State, we practice volleying quite a bit, but they knew how to volley as well,” said Al-

Bexley graduate making impact in Kenya By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When he arrived in February in Likoni, a village of 100,000 people outside of Mombasa, Kenya, Ben Levey only knew how to count to 10 and say “hello” in Swahili. But the 2006 Bexley High School graduate quickly found a way to communicate with the children in the village — by playing soccer. Ben Levey “The passion for soccer over there is incredible. I have never seen anything like it before,” said Levey, who played for the Lions’ 2003 and 2005 Division II state championship teams. “It was an easy way to connect with the kids. “Passing the ball back and forth was so natural. There’s some sort of connection there. You feel like you’re friends all of a sudden.” While serving as a volunteer with Hatua Likoni, a community-based, non-government organization trying to alleviate poverty and promote education among the community’s youth, Levey became chairman of the Likoni Community Football League. The initial plan was to create a 14-team league, but the LCFL quickly grew to 20, 28 and then 30 teams. “Once coaches over there saw that I was serious and they saw the goalposts going up, they wanted to get involved,” Levey said. “I wanted to keep it small because

Ben Levey, a 2006 graduate of Bexley, works with residents near Mombasa, Kenya. Levey is the chairman of the Likoni Community Football League, which grew from its original plan of 14 teams to 30. “It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league,” Levey said.

I wanted to make sure everything ran smoothly, but it grew to 600 kids before I knew it. It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league.” Levey will play host to a fundraiser called “Kick Back 4 Kids” at 6 p.m. Monday, July 18, at the Bexley-area Old Bag of Nails, 18 North Nelson Road. Money from a silent auction as well as a portion of the proceeds from food and drink sales will go toward buying goalposts, nets, balls, jerseys and additional equipment for the LCFL.

Bexley boys soccer coach Greg Kullman said he’s not surprised that Levey’s idea grew so quickly. “Even as a sophomore on the 2003 team, Ben was a natural leader,” said Kullman, who was an assistant coach on that team. “He’s a hard worker and he gets those people around him to work together. “Ben worked with our freshman coach last year and we were hoping to have him back this season, but he’s decided the work he’s doing in Kenya is much need-

ed. I couldn’t argue with him.” Levey got involved with Hatua Likoni as a way of giving back. Hatua means “step forward” in Swahili, according to the organization’s website, www.hatualikoni.org. “At the end of my senior year at the University of Wisconsin, I decided I wanted to do something completely different,” Levey said. “I wanted to go to a foreign country and volunteer to do something before I started grad school.” Levey, who graduated from Wisconsin in spring 2010 with a

a ball. “After growing up in Bexley, I realized I lived in a bubble. My friends who aren’t from here call Bexley ‘Pleasantville,’” Levey said. “Sometimes when I was coaching, I would have to step back and say, ‘Look at where you are. Look at the houses around you. Look at the environment you are in.’ “I was amazed by the amount of poverty over there, but because of the friendliness of the people, they didn’t seem that different from me.” Interest in the LCFL grew quickly in an area that offers little extracurricular activities for youth. However, creating fields and organizing the league took longer than Levey anticipated. “Everything in Kenya runs a lot slower than the USA. After the first week there, I realized I could only pick one thing to do each day,” Levey said. “Something that would take 15 to 30 minutes here takes three to six hours over there for some reason. “The happiest moment (of my time in Kenya) was probably the first day the league started. I was sitting there watching the U-12 teams play. This kid scored and he was mobbed in the corner by his teammates and they were imitating the things they’ve seen from (England’s) Wayne Rooney and all the other soccer stars. It kind of brought of tears to my eyes. That made all the hard work worth it.”

degree in biology, planned to begin pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy at the University of Pittsburgh in August, but he has pushed that back to next June. Levey, who returned from Kenya on May 15, said he plans to go back on Aug. 18 and will be there for at least three months, although he might extend that. Levey said was taken aback by the poverty he saw in Kenya, which is located on Africa’s eastern coast.

Parcher’s influence goes beyond playing field By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Rick Parcher has been an ambassador and teacher of baseball for 50 years. He not only instructs his players on the finer points of the game, but provides “life lessons” by reading poems and stories to help emphasize his points. “There are so many life lessons in baseball,” said the 71-year-old Parcher, who coaches Tree of Life Christian School in the spring and the North Columbus Comets in the summer. “A lot of (the lessons) you learn the hard way — learning to deal with victory and defeat, success and failure. You learn how to make your own needs secondary to those of the team. “Those things all come automatically with athletics, but I believe life lessons that are learned are learned more carefully, definitely and effectively if the process is guided by the coach, so I do a lot of talking.” Parcher, who has coached at Tree of Life since 1995, winning four MOCAL championships, helped form the Comets in 1962 during his senior year at the University of Wisconsin. The team’s first home field was at Whetstone Park. The Under-14 travel team now is a member of the Central Ohio Youth Baseball League. The Comets improved to 16-8 with a 14-4, five-inning win over the Grove City Vipers on July 6 at Ridgeview Middle School, which has been the team’s home since 1975. Parcher was part of a group that helped build four fields at Ridgeview. The complex now has seven fields. Parcher was recognized for his con-

tributions to the sport during the North Columbus Sports Firecracker Tournament on July 4 at Ridgeview. Parcher received a plaque for his years of service and a field at Ridgeview was named in his honor. The Comets then honored their coach by winning the U-14 division title. “I’ve told the guys they probably won’t realize how fortunate they are until they’re older and maybe some of them play in

college,” Comets assistant coach Rick Sibert said. “They’re learning things now that guys typically don’t learn until they get to play college ball. From a baseball perspective, they’re so fortunate to learn these things and how to play the game the right way.” Parcher has fond memories of teams and players throughout the years. The Comets finished 38-6 in 1968, 31-

0 in 1972 and 41-3 in 1981. The team has played on the state, regional and national level, competing in national tournaments in Atlanta, Knoxville and Memphis, Tenn., and Manhattan, Kan. The team won three sportsmanship awards in four years at the Knoxville event. “A lot of that has been a lot of fun, but you can’t do that every year,” Parcher fdirenna@thisweeknews.com said of competing on the national level. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

“You have to have both the talent and the interest.” Parcher has coached several players who have enjoyed successful careers in baseball, including Mike Durant, who played in the program in the early 1980s. Durant, a catcher, played at Watterson and Ohio State before playing with the Minnesota Twins in 1996. Parcher recalled that Jeff Smith, who retired as baseball coach at Centennial in 2006, won the Comets’ first sportsmanship award in 1962. Parcher continues to recognize the team’s top sportsman each year. “I’ve coached hundreds of kids,” Parcher said. “The team is a team of talented kids and almost all of them go on to significant careers in high school and college, a few in the pros. As a result of that there have been a lot of memories and a lot of those guys are still around and I get to see them from time to time. That’s great. I really enjoy that.” It appears Parcher has no intentions of stepping away from the game. “I’m still enjoying myself. There are some various things that will determine whether I decide to come back. One is whether I feel like the group coming up still wants me to be involved. The other would be my health. I’m in reasonably good health. I have a lot of pain in my joints, so I’m doing a lot of sitting down now,” he said. “Every year is gravy from now on. Anything I get after this point is certainly a blessing. I’ve had a great ride. I really have enjoyed it. All of it has been joyful, even the parts that were difficult.”

Weenies serves a variety of ‘super tasty’ hot dogs Weenies has tons of potential. It has the gourmet hot dog market on campus cornered and it serves super tasty madein-Ohio meats grilled to order. Plus, it has a name that’s irresistible to dirtyminded college kids. Indeed, the Weenies owners reported more than a dozen of their signs were stolen — likely by dorm dwellers looking for free decorations — before the restaurant even opened its doors. So if the eatery can work out a few assembly-line kinks and simplify the menu a bit, I’m predicting a success. Weenies is right to be proud of its Ohio meats. They’re a noticeable step up, tastewise, from standard brand-name wieners. And they’re boiled, then grilled, lending a smoky, charbroiled flavor. You pick your choice of dog: all-beef Classic ($3), pork and beef Hottie ($3.65), all-beef Classic Brat ($3.65), all-beef Cheese Brat ($3.85), Chicken Dog ($3.25), Veggie Dog ($3.25) or the Big Weenie one-pounder ($10).

Weenie’s Address: 1644 N. High St., campus Phone: (614) 754-1427 Web: myweenies.com by SHELLEY MANN Hours: 10:30 a.m.-12 a.m. Monday-Wednesday, 10:30 a.m.-3 a.m. Thursday-Saturday, The Hottie is well worth the upgrade. It’s 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Sunday

not only heftier but also has a more complex, spicy flavor profile than a classic dog. You then choose from more than 40 toppings, which is where things get complicated. Forty options sounds like a good thing, but it’s actually kind of paralyzing when you’re standing there, trying to decide which toppings would work best together. It’d be great to see a few Weenies signature dogs on the menu for folks who like having their decisions made for them. There are some nice, unexpected topping options, like a spicy, colorful red-pepper relish, avocados and pineapple salsa. But it starts to get ridiculous — five different mustards, four salsas and dried cranber-

ries? Another concern that will surely be remedied soon: On our first visit, the menu didn’t indicate that some toppings are free while others cost 35 cents or 75 cents extra. On the side, sweet potato fries ($3) are crunchy and good, but ask for some spicy mayo for dipping rather than the provided ketchup. The Grilled Peanut Butter & Jelly ($2.75), basically a hybrid PB & J and grilled cheese — sans cheese — would taste fantastic at about 2:30 a.m. … and luckily, Weenies is open till 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Popular Lindey’s bartender opens own place in the Brewery District Tony Murray was a bartender at a popular restaurant, had scores of adoring customers and a bevy of friendly co-workers, whom he called family. But with the dream of one day opening his own place, the longtime bartender at Lindey’s left his comfortable surroundings for something less certain but with amazing potential — a restaurant of his own. On Monday, he opened T. Murray’s Bar and Kitchen, an ode to the

bygone days of the Rat Pack, classic cocktails and personalized service. He said he can’t emphasize his attachment to Lindey’s enough. He started bartending at the German Village institution in 1989 and said leaving was difficult. “You’ve been in this comfort zone for so long,” he said. “I was just waiting for the right opportunity and it came along.” Yet, he has lofty ambitions for T. Murray’s. The restaurant takes over the for-

mer Barrister Hall location at 560 S. High St. in the Brewery District, which has a reemerging entertainment and restaurant scene. Murray and partners Steve Bagley and Maryanne Testa have spent the past year completely refurbishing the interior of the two-story building, which flaunts a custom-built bar on each floor, wooden floors complemented by darker wood accents and exposed brick for a traditional American look. Murray also is behind the bar, happy to pour traditional drinks such as the OldFashioned, Rusty Nail, Rob Roy and Sidecar. He also plans to dust off the cocktail recipes that date back to the speakeasies of Prohibition-era Chicago. Murray said he wanted a strong emphasis on food and service, a casual ambience with upscale menu. For starters, patrons get a choice of three breads — sourdough, multi-grain and crusty white — all baked locally at Eleni-Christina Bakery. Testa developed the dishes, which she calls upscale comfort food, and chef Christine Remley is responsible for their execution. The menu has a solid American-tavBy Eric George/ThisWeek ern foundation with many modern touchTony Murray and two investors have opened T. Murray’s Bar and Kitchen at es, Testa said.

The halfpound burgers, made with freshly ground beef, are crowned with pancetta and cheddar. Most desserts, save for Graeter’s ice cream, are made on premises. They include a lemon tart, chocolate crème brulee and cheesecake.
