Summit Chase

Signs protest generator; issue in court By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In the days before the Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic on June 26, signs stating “Remove the illegal generator” were placed in the neighborhood surrounding the Summit Chase condominiums. The signs list the name “Citizens Against the Generator” and the name of a Grandview resident who lives on Urlin Avenue as the group’s treasurer. Neither city officials nor the president of the Summit Chase Homeowners Association know exactly who is behind the signs or why they put them up. The association’s appeal of the Grandview Board of Zoning Appeals vote last August regarding the condominium’s generator is pending in the environmental division of Franklin County Municipal Court.

Attempts by ThisWeek to contact the treasurer identified on the signs for this story were unsuccessful. “I’m not sure what the purpose of the signs would be, because it’s in the courts right now,” said Mark Krausz, president of the Summit Chase Homeowners Association. “The wheels of justice grind slowly,” he said. The case is being heard by Judge Harland Hale. The judge has held discussions with the condominium association and the city in an attempt to broker an agreement between the two parties, but no agreement is on the horizon, Krausz said. John Kuss, the city’s director of building and zoning, said he did not want to comment on the case while it is still pending in court. He concurred with Krausz that he did not know why residents would put up the signs now that case is in court.

Last August, the BZA denied the condominium association’s appeal of a zoning code violation order for the backup power generator it installed on its lawn facing Urlin Avenue. The violation order stated the generator had been placed inside the 100-yard setback required by the city’s zoning code. An attorney for Summit Chase argued the yard facing Urlin is actually the side yard and is governed by the 25-foot setback for side yards specified in the code. At the same meeting, the BZA also denied Summit Chase’s request for a variance from the city’s front yard setback requirement for corner lots. The board’s denial would require the condominium to move the generator to bring it under the 100-foot minimum front yard setback, but everything is on hold as the case makes its way through court.

That includes a landscaping plan Krausz said would address neighbors’concerns about being able to see the generator. The plan would involve such elements as painting the generator a different color and planting trees and shrubs to serve as screening, he said. A number of Summit Chase residents also can see the generator from their homes, so the condominium is eager to put its landscaping plan into effect, Krausz said. The current location of the generator was not the condominium’s first choice, he said. The original plan was to place it farther up the hill, but the city nixed that plan because it would be too close to the condominium’s swimming pool and it was determined the soil would not be able to handle the generator’s bulk, Krausz said. Other sites along the property were considered, but problems emerged with each one, he said.

By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Grandview Heights Public Library will host an exhibition of radiation masks worn by head and neck cancer patients that have been transformed into works of art. “Courage Unmasked for Joan’s Fund” will be on display July 14-25 in the library atrium. The exhibition features works by 26 professional visual artists, most from the central Ohio area. The masks will be auctioned Oct. 21 at a gala event at the Franklin Park Conservatory to benefit the Joan Levy Bisesi Foundation for Head and Neck Oncology Research (Joan’s Foundation). The foundation is the fundraising arm of Joan’s Fund, an endowment fund that supports research at the James Cancer Hospital to find a cure for all types of head and neck cancer. “Joan’s Fund” is named for Joan Levy Bisesi, who, along with her husband, created the fund shortly before she passed away in 2001 from cancer that had developed in her mouth. “In the first 10 years, more than $750,000 has been raised for the fund,” said Melinda Fenholt Cogley, executive director of the foundation, which recently earned 501 (c) (3) status and can now begin fundraising efforts on behalf of the fund.

Folk festival returning to Camp Akita Aug. 19-21 By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers “My Voice” by Jeanie Coy Auseon of Upper Arlington.

“Speaks More Softly, Sees More Clearly” by Karla Sheppard.

An old Camp Akita tradition is being reborn in 2011. The Akita Folk Festival will be held Aug. 1921 at Camp Akita, First Community Church’s camp located in the Hocking Hills area. Former Akita campers and counselors and anyone else who would like to perform acoustic and folk-based music is welcome to participate in the festival, said Tom White, one of the event’s organizers. “In part, it will serve as a reunion for Camp Akita alumni,” White said. The public is also welcome to attend either for the entire weekend or just for a day, he said. A folk festival began being held at the end of the summer at Camp Akita in the mid 1960s, inspired by the folk music boom of the time, White said. “Campers and counselors would get together

and perform folk music on stage,” he said. “It was kind of the old sitting around the campfire type of thing.” The event continued until the mid-70s, and, after a hiatus of about four or five years, White was one of the organizers of an effort in 1980-81 to restart the festival. “For some reason, it sort of fizzled out after that,” he said. “No one took the ball to keep it going.” The idea to revive the festival came about from discussions on a Camp Akita alumni Facebook page, White said. “People write their memories of the camp and send in pictures and the talk began, ‘Hey, remember the folk festivals we used to have? Why don’t we try to bring it back,’” he said. Many former Akita campers or counselors who performed at previous festivals have already signed up to perform at the three-day event, White said. About 130 people have already indicated they See AKITA, page A2

The man known as the “Mullet Man Bandit” is believed to have committed his fifth bank robbery, this time in the Grandview area. At about 9:43 a.m. June 28, the man entered the Arlington Bank, 1460 Grandview Ave., and showed a note to bank tellers that stated he had a gun, was robbing the bank and demanding cash, said Harry Trombitas, special agent for the FBI. As in the previous four robberies, the man did not actually show a gun, Trombitas said. “But there is something in his demeanor that scares the hell out of many of the bank employees” who have been confronted by the man during the series of robberies, he said. “It’s the perception of some of the employees that he means business.” The wise and safe thing for bank employees to do is to assume the man has a gun, Trombitas said. Although the FBI does not reveal the amount of money taken in a bank robbery, most robbers make off with less than $4,000 and usually in the $1,000 to $2,000 range, he said. The Mullet Man Bandit “fit that pattern” in last week’s robbery “so you can draw your own conclusions,” Trombitas said. The other robberies the man is believed to have committed have occurred in south Columbus, Grove City and in Columbus on Polaris Parkway. “We are pretty certain this is the same man who committed the other robberies,” Trombitas said. “We make the connection because the physical description is the same in the surveillance photos and his manner is the same. “He comes in, holds a note up, which is different from a lot of bank robbers who usually hand the note to a teller,” he said. “He holds the note up for the employees to see.” The man received his nickname because witnesses have described him as having long, dark hair in the back like a mullet. In the June 28 incident, he was described as being a white male, approximately in his 30s, 5-feet, 8-inches to 5-feet, 10-inches tall with a medium build, scruffy facial hair, See ROBBER, page A2

New playground equipment AKITA installed at Stevenson Project funded through donations, fundraisers and school board By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A large “jungle gym” piece has been installed on the Stevenson Elementary kindergarten playground on the hill facing First Avenue. The equipment replaces the previous kindergarten playground at the school, which had to be dismantled because of safety concerns. “We’re very excited to have the new playground in place,” said Tiffany Martin, the Grandview Heights K-3 PTO grant chair. “We’re so appreciative of the support we’ve received from parents and the community.” The project was funded through donations from the public, fundraisers held at Dewey’s Pizza and from money awarded by the school board, she said. The new equipment is designed differently from the nor-

mal jungle gym, Martin said. “It can handle more kids in a small space,” she said. “More kids can use it at the same time.” The piece features many elements, including a slide and climbing walls that will promote students’ physical fitness and balance, Martin said. “We were looking for the largest piece of equipment we could fit in the space that’s available,” she said. “We wanted to get it installed before school started again in the fall.” The playground will be open and accessible to the public during non-school hours, Martin

said. Having the playground in place is particularly timely since the special needs pre-school will be moving into Stevenson next school year, she said. The jungle gym is planned to be the first phase of the playground project, Martin said. The PTO would like to add other elements including an art station with a place for children to paint and create, a music station with outdoor interactive instruments for children to play, and a weather station that would include features such as a device to measure rainfall, she said. “We’ll be starting up our fundraising effort again once the new school year starts,” Martin said. “We also will continue to look for other grant opportunities. “We’ll be looking to add on to the playground depending on what’s feasible for us to do,” she said.

For those who only want to attend a portion of the event, the cost, not including meals or lodging, is $10 per person for Friday, Aug. 19 only; $20 for Saturday only; and $10 per person for Sunday. For the entire three days with no food or lodging, the cost is $25 per person. Kids under age 12 will be admitted free. Those who plan to stay in the camp’s lodge or cabins and take meals must register no later than two weeks before the festival, White said. All proceeds will benefit the Camp Akita Scholarship Fund, which allows those who can’t afford the fees to attend the camp, he said. Registration and more information are available at www.akitafolkfestival.com. Musicians can also sign up to perform at the festival on the website. “We’re hoping to make this an annual event once again,” White said. “It’s a chance to enjoy some music and share memories of Camp Akita.”

Anyone with information about the robbery or a possible suspect should contact publiceyes.org, a consortium of central Ohio banks and credit unions which offers rewards to those who provide tips regarding robbery cases. “We’re hoping that someone out there may have an idea of his identity,” Trombitas said. “The more crimes he commits, the more likely that he’s going to get caught.” Even a seemingly minor piece of information may turn out to be important, he said. More information about the Mullet Man Bandit’s crimes, including surveillance photos, can be found at the publiceyes.org website.

MASKS Continued from page A1 The Courage Unmasked exhibit and auction is the foundation’s first fundraising effort, Cogley said. It was inspired by a Courage Unmasked exhibit hosted in 2009 by the American University Museum at the Katzen Art Center in Washington, D.C., she said. “We contacted the organizer of the exhibit, Cookie Kerxton, who is an artist and cancer survivor, and we got her permission to do our own version of Courage Unmasked,” Cogley said. “Our exhibit is the second one in the nation.” The local project differs in that the 26 artists who participated were matched with survivors of head and neck cancer, she said. The artists collaborated with the survivors, using their stories as inspiration for the works of art they created out of the radiation masks. “In some cases, the masks are the same ones the victims used, although once they are done with treatment, people often leave the masks behind or destroy them,” Cogley said. “I know of people who have backed their SUV over their mask or taken them out to a firing range to shoot them.” The negative feelings about the masks are understandable, she

said. The masks are used to position and immobilize patients’ heads during treatment. “To have such a horrible thing that is used to bolt you down while you go through this grueling treatment turned into a work of art, it’s amazing and so moving,” Cogley said. The masks are being displayed in a number of venues leading up to the Oct. 21 gala, she said. “We’re so happy to be able to display them in a place like the Grandview Library, because it means people will see them who wouldn’t have otherwise if they were on display just in a museum,” Cogley said. Each mask is accompanied by a text from the artist identifying the survivor with whom they worked and how they were inspired by their story, she said. “I think people are overwhelmed when they read the stories behind the artists’work,” Cogley said. One of the artists who participated in the project is Jeanie Auseon of Upper Arlington. The title of her piece, “My Voice” is taken from the title of a book written by her survivor/collaborator Dr. Itzhak Brook of Washington, D.C. Brook lost his voice during his treatment for throat cancer and his book detailed his experience.

“I feel so privileged to have been able to work with Dr. Brook,” Auseon said. “He communicates so much through the words in his book.” Auseon used paper mache to create three moldings of the mask. Brook’s face is subtly placed behind one of the masks and another features a photo of Auseon and her twin brother, who was also treated for cancer. Photos of other people are also used in the piece to represent the universality of cancer and how it can affect anybody, Auseon said. Words from Brook’s book are also displayed. “I used bright, vibrant colors to represent hope and vitality,” she said. “This was a very special project for me, not only because I got to work with Dr. Brook, but also because of my own personal connection.” More information about the Courage Unmasked project, photos of the masks, and a link to purchase tickets to the Oct. 21 gala is available at www.joansfoundation.org. Visitors to the exhibit will be able to vote for their favorite masks and the top five vote-getters will be auctioned in a live format at the gala, Cogley said. The other masks will be sold through a silent auction that evening.

Moment in time Bonita Jamison was hired as a Grandview High School foreign language teacher in 1921. She was a graduate of Otterbein College and also received an M.A. from Columbia. She was appointed the vice principal of the high school in 1923 and in 1924 she became the district’s high school principal. She served with distinction as an administrator as well as French teacher until 1931. The recent hiring of Dawn Sayre as the new GHHS principal finally broke the 80-year cycle of hiring all male high school principals after Miss Jamison left the district. Ms. Sayre was formerly assistant principal at Hilliard Bradley High School and officially starts her job Aug. 1.

As it were

Modes of transportation evolve with growth of city 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 outED side, Columbus is a bit disapLENTZ pointing. 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 a 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. 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 a.m. between the American House Hotel at State and High streets and the railroad station. With the com-

• A traffic stop was initiated July 2 on a vehicle with a West Virginia license plate for a traffic violation at McClain Road and West Goodale Boulevard. Despite both audio and visual signals to pull over, the vehicle continued to travel eastbound in the alley north of Goodale. The driver was a male, and a witness to the pursuit reported a young female was also in the vehicle. Police lost sight of the vehicle at Andover and Waltham roads in Upper Arlington. Columbus and Upper Arlington police assisted in the search, but the vehicle was not located. It was later learned the vehicle was reported as having two runaways from Saint Albans, W.Va. Charges are pending further investigation. • A Columbus man who was a passenger in a car stopped July 2 for an equipment violation was cited for drug abuse and littering from a motor vehicle. • A Columbus man was arrested July 2 and charged with operating a vehicle while under the influence and speeding. • A Hilliard man was arrested July 1 and charged with driving under suspension and no operator’s license. • A resident of the 1400 block of Wyandotte Road reported July 1 her vehicle had been stolen. The vehicle was later found to have been involved in a hit-skip crash on Interstate 70 at Interstate 71 earlier in the morning. The vehicle was impounded by Columbus police.

PAIN CAUSED BY PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY Do you suffer from tingling, numbness or burning in your feet?

Courtesy of Columbus Metropolitan Library

By increasing blood flow to the feet, an exclusive new treatment has been shown to be extremely effective in relieving pain and restoring feeling in the feet caused by Neuropathy.

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.

pletion 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 mid-

dle 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 areas. 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.

Girls Basketball

Darst set to become Bobcats’ new coach By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Randy Darst is expected to be back leading a girls basketball program for the first time in 10 years. Darst was scheduled to be approved as the Grandview Heights High School girls basketball coach at the school board meeting on July 6. His four years leading the Williamsport Westfall girls program came to an end in spring 2001 after an accident at his job as a graphic designer. “I whacked off a fingertip and

thought I needed to change jobs, so I went back to school and got a master’s degree in education,” said Darst, who was an assistant in the Pickerington Central girls program last season. “I kept coaching while I was working and going to college, but I didn’t have time to be a full-time (head) coach. Now I look forward to the challenge of being coach at Grandview.” Darst is an intervention specialist with the Canal Winchester school district, assigned to Indian Trail Elementary this fall. “Randy brings to us enthusiasm,

solid basketball knowledge, a proven ability to communicate and work with young people and getting the most out of their abilities,” athletics director Kathy Kinnard said. “He is a man of good character and integrity and his work in several divisions and at all levels — (youth), middle school, j.v., varsity assistant and head coach — is an asset to him as he begins his tenure to lead our girls basketball program.” Before being an assistant at Pickerington Central, Darst was an assistant at Teays Valley and Canal Win-

chester. He coached one season of boys basketball at Teays Valley, but quickly returned to the girls game. “I love girls basketball because it’s more of a team game,” Darst said. “I’m a purest and I like to teach how to play the game. Girls are very more receptive to the team aspect of the game. I have coached girls who have been Division I (college) prospects and they understand that they need their teammates to win. They know that a one-person team won’t help them reach their goals on the court.” Darst also is familiar with Grand-

view after having two sons graduate from the high school. Adrian, a 2005 graduate, is majoring in business at Shawnee State in Portsmouth and Evan, a 2007 graduate, is studying journalism at Columbia College in Chicago. Darst will replace Steve Hall, who resigned in May after 12 seasons leading the program to spend more time with family. Last season, the Bobcats finished 12-11 overall after losing to top-seedSee DARST, page A7

Commentary

Strong mindset key for athletes Ask any athlete, at any level, about the importance of the mental side of sports and he or she will say that believing in oneself is critical to success. This week, the central Ohio high school student-athletes in my summer series talk about how self-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

Maurice Hall (22), a 2001 Brookhaven graduate, had a game for the ages when he rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries in a 75-16 victory over Briggs in a City League-Red Division game on Oct. 27, 2000.

Top Individual Performances: Nos. 6-10

Athletes’ exploits remembered From staff reports

Whether they set a state record, put together a stellar performance or accomplished a feat that hasn’t stopped wowing us, central Ohio athletes have created indelible memories for followers of high school sports. After chronicling “20 Years of Upsets” in 2009 and the “Most Dominating Teams” last summer, for our third annual summer series we set out to find the “Top Individual Performances” of the ThisWeek Community Newspapers era that began 22 years ago. Discussions were held among the staff at ThisWeek, as well as with our colleague Steve Blackledge from The Columbus Dispatch, and we arrived at a top 10 along with 10 honorable mentions. Beginning July 14, we will run a retrospective article on each of the top five performances, with one story running each week until we finish on Aug. 11 with what we consider the top individual performance. So what makes one performance stand higher than another? One key factor in the rankings dealt with the stage on which it occurred. Performances that happened late in the postSee LARSON, page A7 season against tough opposition

Honorable mention JAKE BLANKENSHIP, Gahanna boys track and field (June 4, 2011) — The junior cleared 17 feet in the pole vault to capture the Division I state championship. That set the state-meet record in the event and helped him win a yearlong battle with Olentangy Liberty twin brothers Joey and Chris Uhle, who took second and third, respectively. TROY BOWERS, Westerville South wrestling (March 4-6, 1999) — A broken hand sidelined him for a month of the regular season, but Bowers went on to pin three of his four opponents at state and win the Division I title at heavyweight. In the final, Bowers pinned future NFL player Alex Stepanovich of Berea in 1:03. CLAIRE DURKIN, Worthington Kilbourne girls cross country (Nov. 3, 2007) — Durkin completed a stellar prep career by winning the state championship in 17:10.5. The time set the state-meet record in Division I. MINDY HAMMOND, DeSales girls soccer (Nov. 5, 1997) — During a state semifinal against defending

champion Chagrin Falls, the senior goalkeeper made a diving save to preserve a one-goal lead with 17:38 remaining. Three minutes later, she scored on a penalty kick to seal what would become a 3-0 win. JACK RAFFERTY, Dublin Coffman football (Oct. 31, 2003) — The senior quarterback who would become the district’s Player of the Year in Division I and the ThisWeek Super 25 captain threw for 152 yards and rushed for a school-record 285 yards with four touchdowns as the Shamrocks beat Marion Harding 31-22 in their playoff opener. KRISTA KEIR, Westerville South girls track and field (June 6-7, 1997) — Two weeks after setting the state record in the discus (176-5), Keir threw 166-10 on June 6 to break the state-meet record. The next day, she threw 50-4 3/4 in the shot put to capture another title. WENDY LYONS, Westerville South girls tennis (Oct. 19-20, 1990) — Lyons capped a career in which she went 126-6 by losing just one set in the 1990 Division I state tournament.

Her 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 win over Centerville’s Melissa Zimpfer in the final gave her a 41-0 record for the season. B.J. MULLENS, Canal Winchester boys basketball (Jan. 21, 2008) — At the Flyin’ to the Hoop Classic in Fairborn, the senior and future Ohio State and NBA player had 62 points, 24 rebounds and three blocked shots to lead the Indians to a 79-69 win over New York (N.Y.) Our Savior New American. AUSTIN STAAB, Westerville Central boys swimming (Feb. 23-24, 2007) — In his final prep meet, Staab tied the national record and won the 100 butterfly in 47.1 on Feb. 23. The next day, the Stanford recruit clocked a time of 43.93 to win the 100 freestyle. ESTABAN WEAVER, Hartley boys basketball (March 18, 1995) — The Hawks advanced to a Division III state semifinal with a 72-68 victory over Germantown Valley View, led by the play of Weaver. He scored 36 points and teamed with Matt Lowery on two key defensive stops down the stretch.

were given extra credit. B.J. Mullens of Canal Winchester scored 62 points during a 2008 regular-season game, but Charles Johnson ranks ahead of that for his 57-point game that helped Watkins Memorial upset a state-ranked team in the 1995 Division II district tournament. Also considered was whether the athlete performed spectacu-

larly in more than one aspect during the game or meet in question. For example, Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship set a state-meet record when he won the Division I boys pole vault championship last month, but Brookhaven’s Khalilah Carpenter ranks higher because she broke the state record in the girls 100 meters and also added a title in the 200 in the 2000 state meet.

Without further ado, below are Nos. 10-6 of the top individual performances of the past 22 years, with an honorable mention list in the accompanying box: Maurice Hall, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time

list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 7516 to earn the City League-Red Division title and a Division II playoff berth as the senior and future Ohio State running back rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. He had six first-half touchdowns and added scoring runs of 57 and 71 yards in the second half. LaToya Turner, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final and exact revenge for a painful defeat with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. They had lost to the Grizzlies in a 1997 state semifinal. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the freethrow line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. The Tigers beat Mason 4630 the next day to earn their sixth state title. Darcy Fishback, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — The 2009 Division I state meet

Legion Baseball

Many factors cause dip in area Legion teams played in a Columbus Cobras tournament against a pitcher from Xavier and a player from Ohio State.â€? 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. â€œThey want to go to showcases where they think they can be seen,â€? Weber said. â€œOne way to do that is through travel baseball. Itâ€™s all about what you want and what your post allows. In our case, weâ€™re able to do both. We have played in those same tournaments with travel teams.â€? Yahn also pointed out a schedule difference. â€œIn Legion, youâ€™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,â€? Yahn said. â€œWe can do more lifting for football, go to more camps and do other high school things during the week.â€?

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 doesnâ€™t appear to be something that can be easily resolved. â€œThe number of teams has decreased, but I wouldnâ€™t say the talent has necessarily decreased that much,â€? said Michael Higgins, baseball chairman in Legion District 12. â€œI 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. â€œWhen 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 weâ€™re now experiencing.â€?

OBLIGATIONS TO PLAYERS

ECONOMIC WOES Higgins said one of the big reasons for fewer posts offering baseball is the weak economy. â€œThe economy has definitely played a role because many of the posts canâ€™t afford to play in tournaments every weekend in addition to the league play during the week,â€? Higgins said. â€œI also think the increasing number of participants in sports such as soccer and lacrosse has taken away some of our kids.â€? About a dozen years ago, Newark Post 85 ran into a similar problem and decided to only fund a few of its teamâ€™s tournaments. The areaâ€™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. â€œOur post is the reason we still have a true Legion team,â€? coach Chris Weber said. â€œThey support us financially way beyond what 90 percent of other posts in Ohio do. They believe in Legion baseball and baseball has brought good publicity to our post.â€? Because of Post 283â€™s financial support, the team plays other travel squads and competes in a number of elite tournaments. â€œWeâ€™re in a special situation where

Sarich averaged 4.3 points, 3.5 assists and two steals a game last season, while Fitzgerald averaged 6.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals. Also expected back are juniors Aileen Evans (5-6, guard), Ryleigh Jackson (5-6, guard), Courtney Oâ€™Mara (5-5, guard), Abby Riggs (57, forward) and Connor Skeen (5-7, forward) and sophomore Sierra Dobbs-Brown (5-6, guard). Darst plans to meet with the team on Thursday, July 7, after his approval by the board. â€œI canâ€™t wait to meet the kids and get things rolling,â€? he said. â€œI already have some scrimmages set up for kids with teams throughout the area and we want to cram in as much basketball as we can in July.â€?

made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the free-throw line. 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) â€” 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 Dunbarâ€™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 Brookhavenâ€™s 400 relay to a seventhplace finish.

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) â€” 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 state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

ITâ€™S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS

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. â€œWe went with a younger team with no 19-year-olds or college players this season,â€? coach Adam Arcuri said. â€œWe 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. Itâ€™s a gauge as to where they are and where they need to be if they want to continue to play the game.â€? Derek Yahn, a Heath senior who plays for the Athletics, said the team is enjoying the challenge. â€œThis allows us to travel out of town more often and weâ€™re hanging out and becoming friends and I think thatâ€™s showing on the diamond,â€? Yahn said. â€œWeâ€™re a younger team competing against Legion teams with college players and in tournaments against older players, too.

Another big difference between most travel teams and Legion teams is the size of the roster. â€œTravel teams generally use 11 or 12 players all summer,â€? Weber said. â€œAt 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 thatâ€™s the way it will be for the kids who go on to play in college.â€? That means a player who is slumping or not performing well can be substituted without consternation. â€œAt Post 283, the best players play,â€? Weber said. â€œIt doesnâ€™t matter how much money their parents pay or what their parents do for a living. Iâ€™m not saying all travel teams are like that, but it doesnâ€™t matter here.â€? 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 playerâ€™s parents, or the money donated by a parentâ€™s employer. â€œLetâ€™s face it. There are probably some real good players in central Ohio who donâ€™t play travel ball because his parents canâ€™t afford it,â€? Weber said. For all their differences, Legion and travel baseball have one thing in common â€” 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.
