School district levy closer to fall ballot By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard City School District Board of Education wants to put an operating levy on the ballot in November, but members have yet to determine the millage rate. The hour-long board meeting July 7 in the district annex was dominated by levy discussion, and while there was a

good turnout, no members of the public spoke. According to treasurer Brian W. Wilson’s latest projections, the district would be in the black through fiscal year 2015 before going into the red in 2016 if voters were to approve a 6.9-mill levy in November. A 6.9-mill levy was defeated in the May primary. Lower millage rates were also plugged into Wilson’s Excel file, yielding wors-

ening deficits five years out. The projections also made assumptions such as 75 percent of teachers eligible for retirement taking it. “Can you accept a 6.9-mill levy?” Superintendent Dale A. McVey asked the board. He said the millage rate should be Dale A. McVey

Armstrong to get $10-million makeover By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Armstrong plant on Leap Road will get a $10-million makeover to increase its capacity for making standard and special ceiling tiles. “It may involve a handful of new jobs, but what it really does is further solidify Armstrong’s presence here in Hilliard,” economic development director David Meeks said. “Right now, Armstrong’s got 135 employees in Hilliard. They’ve been here since 1987, and they’ve been a good company.”

Armstrong World Industries Inc., based in Lancaster, Pa., is footing the bill for the makeover, said Hilliard plant manager Aron Gawne. Founded in 1860, Armstrong had worldwide sales of $2.8 billion in 2010 and employs 9,500 people at 33 plants in eight countries, including the Hilliard plant. “It’s been a good location for us, for our folks and their families,” Gawne said. “It’s good for our professionals as well as our workforce. This is a good plant to be in right now in the company with the investment going in.”

The $10-million investment will support three projects: a high-volume standard 2-foot by 2-foot standard ceiling tile line that will be in place early next year; a job shop for custom shapes and sizes that will go live in the third quarter of 2012; and a low-volume large size ceiling tiles line slated for early 2013. “This is a great investment for the plant and a big part of how we’re growing this business for the future,” Gawne said. “It’s a pretty big deal for us. We’re definitely excited to See ARMSTRONG, page A2

Hilliard City Council met July 11 before beginning a month-and-a-half summer recess. Five of the seven council members were present to vote on legislation before the break. “For at least a decade, it’s been a tradition,” council president Brett Sciotto said of the recess. “I think it follows along the lines of most legislatures at both the state and federal level take some sort of a summer recess. “It’s a good chance for everyone to take a break,” Sciotto said. “We put in a lot of hours, and it’s a part-time job. It’s nice to have a month off.” When council meets again on Aug. 22, the focus will be on the 2012 city budget, which will need to be approved by year’s end. “It’s a very intense time,” Sciotto said. “We begin the discussions in earnest in August.” Prior to council’s meeting, city finance director Michelle Kelly-Underwood gave the second quarter 2011 review in committee. She said that to date, Hilliard has received 51.9 percent of what was estimated for total general fund revenues for 2011. “General fund revenues are trending favorably and should offset decreases in state funding for the remainder of 2011,” Underwood wrote in a memo to council. “Our challenge comes in 2012 and beyond.” Underwood said shared revenues will be cut by more than $500,000 in 2012. In addition, a 5.6percent decrease in property values for Hilliard has been projected. “There are some tough decisions coming down the road,” Mayor Donald Schonhardt said as the finance and administration committee’s meeting wrapped up.

Norwich Township

Musical freestyle a fair favorite

Schirtzinger Road changes approved

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Norwich Township trustees approved new drainage and tree removal changes for some Schirtzinger Road residents at their July 5 meeting. Cornell Robertson from the Franklin County Engineer’s Office gave an update on the project, telling trustees Chuck Buck and Larry Earman that the tree removal phase Chuck Buck of the Schirtzinger Road project was nearly done. Mike Cope was not present at the meeting. “We’ve been working on it a couple of weeks now. It’s gone quite well,” Robertson said. He said six trees east of the bend in the road that are on the project’s limits could be spared. “We feel that we can work around those Larry Earman See NORWICH TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES, page A7

One of the Franklin County Fair’s most popular events takes place Tuesday, July 19, when the Junior Fair musical freestyle horse performance is held at 6 p.m. in the horse arena. Musical freestyle is an event where 4-H members ages 8-18 dress themselves and their horses in costumes and perform a choreographed 2- to 4-minute routine with three types of skill requirements set to music. Two judges give scores to five elements in the routine, the scores are totaled, and ribbons are awarded to the first- to tenth-place finishers in seven classifications. “It’s just a fun event for people to watch, and it’s always very well-attended,” said Melissa Brinkerhoff, a member of the

Her son and husband help out with the music. “We’ve been running it a number of years now,” Lori Raugh said. “We’ve tweaked it to the event it is today. It’s real fun for the kids. They have a blast putting it together. The parents get just as excited and involved as the 4-H members themselves.” Musical freestyle can involve any kind of music, Raugh said, although the songs are screened in advance for length and lyrical Carly Bedinghaus (left) and Abby Russell prepare to start their content.

25,000 turn out for July 4 celebration By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

“It was a good day overall,” Norwich Township Fire Chief David Long said of Hilliard’s Fourth of July festivities. “A very quiet day for the crowds we had.” Long said the fire department’s Honor Guard won an award in the parade, and his staff and their families passed out thousands of American flags to parade-goers. “It was a huge crowd,” said township trustee Chuck Buck, who rode in the parade. “I did have people say they thought it was a better parade this year than last year.” An 11-year-old girl was treated and released from the Nationwide Children’s Hospital emergency department when her foot was run over by a float. She was passing out candy and had gone over to the trailer to get more when the incident occurred. Noting that some central Ohio communities ban passing out candy during parades for safety reasons, Buck said, “I hope Hilliard continues to allow that.

“

It was so rewarding to see the kids identify with what the float (for Environmental Sustainability Commission) was trying to say. It really showed that this is a good step for the city of Hilliard.

”

CARRIE STANLEY-DAVIS — ESC chairperson

We do a fairly good job keeping the children back away from the floats. The kids and adults enjoy the candy.” Hilliard’s newly-formed Environmental Sustainability Commission (ESC) didn’t pass out candy – they handed out stickers that said Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. “We worried that no one would want the stickers, they’d want candy,” said ESC chairperson

Carrie Stanley-Davis. “We got rid of a thousand stickers by the second turn of the parade. We had to start holding them back. We could have had doubled that, and we still would have run out.” Stanley-Davis the ESC’s float had a similar message, with greenery donated by local landscape businesses. “It was so rewarding to see the kids identify with what the float was trying to say,” she said. “It really showed that this is a good step for the city of Hilliard.” The Hilliard Recreation and Parks Department estimated 25,000 people turned out for the fireworks display in Municipal Park. “It was a big crowd, but it went well,” said Heather Ernst, recreation program manager. “We had people showing up about 8 a.m. with tarps to stake out their spots on the hill. I think the crowd came a little earlier this year than last. The entire hill was full by 7 p.m.” The department’s staff worked from 8 a.m. to midnight, Ernst said. Fireworks fans made a day

of it by grilling out and relaxing under pop-up tents. Last year, there was only one place to buy water. Last week there were three — which meant shorter lines. Nearby, there was a party at the senior center, with the seniors watching movies, eating, playing cards and going outside for the fireworks. The Reaganomics were wellreceived, Ernst said, and their music could be heard all over the park. Emcee David McCreary kept the crowd involved during the intermission, giving away an iPod. The fireworks went off without any problem, and the weather wasn’t as hot as last year, Ernst said. There is just one problem, though: there are plenty of unclaimed awards from the parade that need to be picked up. For more information, call 614-8765200.

Letter

Help valuable to those with critically ill children To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported, encouraged, and worked so hard for Patches of Light — a nonprofit organization that assists families of critically ill children — as well as the families we assist. There is an old Mayan proverb that says, “One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in the debt of those who are kind.” Patches of Light will always be indebted to those of you who have sacrificed and worked so diligently for families with sick children —families that you might never meet, nor ever know anything about except for the fact that they have a sick child and a need. I would like to start off by thanking Hilliard Recreation and Parks and the Hilliard Arts Council for sponsoring the amazing, and hilarious, “Three Little Pigs” theatrical production put on by the Columbus Children’s Theatre. I thoroughly enjoyed myself as did the numerous families attending the performance. Thank you for allowing Patches of Light the opportunity to share our mission, as well as raise awareness and funding. I would like to thank ThisWeek Hilliard reporter, Gary Budzak, for always supporting our events and accomplishments. Gary does a wonderful job of sharing information with the community through his articles and interviews. I would like to thank Susan Yeager, Elite Volleyball Club, Second Sole, DJ Tommy Harb, and SportsOhio for their support and sponsorship during the first Patches of Light Youth Sand Volleyball Tournament.

I would like to thank Lindsay Fisher, Flannigan’s, Powell Prints, and Miller Lite for their hard work and support during our fourth annual Patches of Light Adult Sand Volleyball Tournament. There were many other sponsors and volunteers for both events and they are listed on our website. I would like to thank Scioto Darby Elementary for their amazing Rock-a-Thon. Each year it gets bigger and better and we are honored to be a part of it. Thanks to the Hilliard Kiwanis for their support during their annual garage sale. Thanks to Goey Mueller and the Flag Football Fanatics for their very generous donation and support. Finally, a huge thank you goes out to our incredible Patches of Light board members. I wish I had the time, and space, to tell you how much all of your continued support has blessed the lives of the families referred to us for assistance. Each time a family receives the news that their child has a critical or terminal illness, the world as they know it changes forever. They grasp for hope, understanding and a patch of light in a very dark time. You are their patch of light. I always close with this quote because it puts into plain words our mission at Patches of Light. “Dare to reach your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light.” Norman B. Rice. We look forward to seeing many of you at the annual Duckie Derby Aug. 5 at the HFAC.

HILLIARD CITY COUNCIL Continued from page A1 its second quarter report. Board member Drew McCartt said hotel occupancy was up 12 percent in April over last year, and up 5 percent in May over the previous year. First Responders Park was featured in some magazine articles; Hilliard was represented on an Ohio Department of Tourism prize wheel; and Hilliard is one of five central Ohio communities vying for Ohio Magazine’s coveted Best Hometown Award. In legislation, council approved: • An ordinance accepting motor vehicle tax funds to use for the Alton Darby/Roberts road improvements.

• A resolution authorizing a master lease-purchase agreement with PNC Finance LLC for two trucks. • A resolution authorizing an agreement with the Franklin County commissioners to participate in the county’s Department of Housing and Urban Development entitlement program. Economic development director David Meeks said Hilliard has received $900,000 from the program to date. “As always is our tradition, when we’re back, we’ll be fully engaged in the budget,” Sciotto told the other council members as the half-hour meeting concluded. “Enjoy the month-and-ahalf off, and be ready to talk numbers when we get back.”

NORWICH TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES Continued from page A1 trees,” Robertson said. “As we’re doing future storm sewer work, if we get into a lot of those roots, and feel those trees aren’t going to make it, we can cut them down then.” Robertson also proposed some drainage refinements. First was an area along the west side of Schirtzinger north of Ravenwood. “There’s an area that lays wet quite often,” Robertson said, “so we feel that we could help dry that area up if we add some sixinch collector pipe and some inspection wells that would give those residents that back up to Schirtzinger a place to positively outlet their sump pumps. Currently, they outlet to the surface, so that’s contributing to that wet area.” Those changes could be made without too much effort, he said. Next, east of Stellar Drive, Robertson said there’s a 24-inch

pipe that crosses underneath Schirtzinger Road and drains from north to south, then ties into an existing 12-inch pipe between homes and outlets into Holcomb Ditch. At first, the engineer’s office was going to leave that pipe as is, but video inspection revealed damage, so now they’re recommending replacing it. Lastly, farther to the east at the entrance of the Schirtzinger subdivision, Robertson said, three driveways that were acting as dams to the surface drainage were going to have their pipes cleaned out. He proposed a further enhancement by running a storm pipe along the south side of Schirtzinger and across the road. Robertson estimated the cost of all the refinements would be $65,000, and wasn’t sure if it would exceed the total project cost that’s been appropriated. Asked by Buck whether all the issues on the project have been addressed, Robertson said, “I don’t want to say that we’ve

found them all, but we’re very close.” Robertson and road superintendent Steve Montgomery both said that the homeowners they’ve talked to in those sections of Schirtzinger needing the further refinements are willing to have their trees removed, if necessary, to improve the drainage. “I don’t want to take down trees we don’t have to,” Buck said. “I also don’t want to have to come back in a year or two and have dead trees we have to deal with.” Robertson said he sought and received approval from the trustees to proceed on the project so he could notify Columbia Gas. In other business, the trustees approved using township resources to remove grass and weeds that constitute a nuisance at two addresses – 3936 Medford Square and 3352 Darbyshire Drive. The owners will be assessed $150 per hour of work.

ber of Genesis, guitarist Daryl Stuermer, has had a pretty good handle on the “Genesis Experience.” So when he decided to create an orchestral show of the music of Genesis featuring his own band, it was with the full blessing of Messrs. Rutherford, Banks and Collins. “I always wished they’d have done it,” Stuermer told The Beat of combining Genesis and a full orchestra. With Genesis in at least semi-retirement, Stuermer figured it was time to see what they thought of his idea. “Mike (Rutherford) immediately said, ‘I’d love to hear it,’” Stuermer said. “When I played some of it for the guys, they were all happy to hear what we’d done.” Stuermer, a Milwaukee native and resident, joined Genesis as the touring replacement for founding member Steve Hackett in 1978, coming off a threeyear stint playing guitar in jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty’s band.

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 dirty-minded 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 cranberries? 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.

Police: Citizens can help uncover child endangering cases By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Alert citizens can help detect cases of child endangering, according to Hilliard police. “What residents can do to keep an eye out for this is looking for zoning code violations,” said Officer Hyda Slone. “The grass is too high, there’s junk in the yard, or too many animals.”

Slone said that “neighbors looking in their neighborhood” who notice blatant zoning or health violations should contact the authorities so the property can be investigated. Doing so may uncover other problems like child abuse. At noon on June 28, three children were found unsupervised and living in unsafe conditions at 3363 Leap Road after one of them accidentally called 911.

“We wouldn’t have known this if it hadn’t been for that 911 call,” Slone said. The children, ages 11, 5, and 2, were living in a garbage-filled, mattress-torn shed that had no running water or sewer system, the HPD said. Glass pipes with marijuana residue and a still for making moonshine were also found in the shed. An adjacent home on the property contained five dogs and eight cats. Hilliard City Code allows residents to own a

grandparents through Franklin County Children’s Services, Slone said. One of the animals had to be euthanized, and others needed medical attention. Slone said this was the first case of child endangering in Hilliard that HPD staffers could recall. “In 27 years here, a family living in a shed is pretty isolated,” she said. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Boys Basketball

VanWinkle replaces Norris at Darby By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Jim VanWinkle had wanted to be a head basketball coach for some time. After 10 seasons as an assistant coach with the program, VanWinkle was approved as the Hilliard Darby High School boys basketball coach during a school board meeting July 7. VanWinkle replaces Brett Norris, who resigned last month after six years with the program. “It’s pretty much been a fun-filled

month,” said VanWinkle, who graduated from Mount Vernon High School in 1997 and Mount Vernon Nazarene University in 2001. “I was married on June 4 (to Darby girls basketball coach Liz Lehman), and I apply for my first head coaching position and now get to lead the program. Now I can relax on my honeymoon before getting to work.” VanWinkle said his honeymoon included a trip to Fiji and Australia. He teaches math at Darby. “Jim was the right fit,” athletics director Chad Schulte said. “He has been

an assistant at Darby for 11 years and he knows what it takes to run a good program, and he is in tune to what it will take to grow the current program. He has a lot of passion for Hilliard Darby and is willing to do whatever it takes to be successful.” VanWinkle played his freshman season with Mount Vernon Nazarene, but then opted to focus on becoming a coach. He was an assistant at Fredericktown during his final three years of college. After graduation, he became an assistant at Darby.

“I think it’s going to be a pretty smooth transition,” VanWinkle said. “I have been here awhile and know the kids. There definitely will be some tweaks here and there, but a lot of the terminology will be the same.” VanWinkle said his coaching style will be determined more by his players than by trying to mold them into one system of play. “We will be playing a base motion offense, but a lot of what we do will be personnel-driven,” he said. “I think we will have a base offense that we run

throughout the levels, whether j.v., varsity or freshman. We’ll have some set plays that we will build and expand upon. We will also have a base defense that we will build on.” VanWinkle said his six seasons under Norris should help prepare him for the challenges ahead. “Coach Norris was very organized and very detailed,” VanWinkle said. “He taught me a lot about practice planning and drills that correlate to game situaSee BASKETBALL, page C3

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 enorLARRY mous impact on how stuLARSON dent-athletes perceive themselves, 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.”

Steve De Dent, who was boys basketball coach at Davidson for nine seasons, has been naned coach of the Wildcats boys and girls tennis teams.

Tennis

De Dent to lead Davidson programs By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Unlike many of his coaching peers, Steve De Dent didn’t grow up playing tennis. However, the new coach of the Hilliard Davidson High School boys and girls tennis teams learned a lot from his predecessors. De Dent was an assistant for 10 years, working with girls coach Kim Shepherd and boys coach Shawn Walton. “Those two have taught me a ton about the game,” De Dent said. “When (athletics director Mark Princehorn) asked me (about being the head coach), I figured I’d give it a try. It’s something new, something different.

“The No. 1 thing I am looking forward to is you get to work with great kids. Then there’s the challenge of keeping going what Shawn built in boys tennis and what Kim built in girls tennis.” De Dent inherits programs that went a combined 15-17 last year. The girls team finished 8-8 overall and tied Worthington Kilbourne for third (47 points, 4-3 in dual matches) in the OCCCentral Division, behind champion Upper Arlington (86, 7-0). The Wildcats expect to return senior Mackenzie Donalson and sophomores Laura Hagy, Natalie Hagy and Emily Turner. The boys team, which finished 7-9 overall and was fourth in the OCC-Central (41 points, 4-3) behind champion UA (82, 70), expects to return seniors Pat Holland

and Spencer Walter and juniors Joe Justus and Michael Porter. “The one thing I learned from Kim was patience,” De Dent said. “He wanted to bring the team along. He wanted the team to be the best we could be at the end of the year. I think that’s important. “Shawn had a way of explaining tennis to kids in layman’s terms. He brought it down to the kids’ level so they could understand it.” Neither Davidson tennis team has had much turnover in coaching. Shepherd, an Ohio Tennis Coaches Association Hall of Fame honoree, coached the girls team for 36 years before resigning last fall and the boys team for 31 years before resigning in 2007. Walton had coached the boys team since then.

Shepherd believes De Dent will have no trouble adjusting. “I don’t think he gives himself enough credit,” Shepherd said. “When he first started out, he was very enthusiastic and learned quickly. He knows more than enough to coach tennis, and I think he’ll do an outstanding job.” De Dent was a boys basketball assistant coach from 1983-87 at DeSales and from 1987-91 at Hilliard. De Dent then coached the Wildcats boys basketball team for nine seasons, compiling a 113-82 record. He retired after the 1999-2000 season, when Davidson finished 22-5 after a 58-42 loss to Cincinnati St. Xavier in a Division I state semifinal. See TENNIS, page C3

Top Individual Performances: No. 5

Backes powered Bears’ run to state title By PATRICK DOLAN 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 The Columbus Dispatch file photo and two touchdowns on 32 carJeff Backes rushed for 183 yards and had a game-saving intercep- ries and preserved a 15-9 victoSee LARSON, page C3 tion in a 15-9 win over Solon in the 2000 Division I state final. ry 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 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 because 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 See BACKES, page C3

Ohio Elite squad earns 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 14and-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 T-shirt, 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 18and-under team reached a semifinal but lost to the Lookouts of Alliance 4-1 on July 10 at Dublin Jerome. The Cobras advanced to the semifinal 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 18and-under division. 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 Can-

ton, 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 18and-under division, the North Georgia Barons in the 16-andunder division and the North Coast Vipers in the 15-and-under division. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Track & Field

North relay, Blankenship capture titles at national event By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Former Westerville North High School track and field standouts Brian and Jeff Hannaford called winning the four-mile relay in the New Balance Outdoor Nationals 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. The meet was held June 18 at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, N.C. Winners received a medal and a national championship ring. 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 on June 4 at Ohio State 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 goals for the (spring) season in the (3,200

relay), so finally getting to race again was huge.” The Hannafords will continue their cross country and track careers at Ohio State, which they chose over Dayton. 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 (10 points) behind

the first-place Knightdale (N.C.) Track and Field Club (28). “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. Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship won the pole vault with an effort of 17 feet, 3/4 of an inch. Blankenship, who will be a senior in the fall, won the event at state by matching the state record of 17-0 set by Olen-

tangy Liberty’s Joey Uhle. Blankenship, who competed unattached at nationals, tied for 18th with 10 points. “I was very excited on winning because I did not expect to win at all,” Blankenship said. “There were so many other vaulters vaulting higher than me. I was glad to take the national title, especially as a junior.” 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. Liberty tied for 60th (7) at nationals. See TRACK, page C4

BACKES Continued from page C1 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. Backes got to the outside 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

Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 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,

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. You start to get nervous, but then out of 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.”

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.

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.

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 keep it small because 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 equip-

ment 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 needed. 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

er trash bags and wrap them into 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.”

Wisconsin in spring 2010 with a 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.

Schools announce vacancies

Continued from page C2 Bryn Campbell, who will be a senior in the fall at Canal Winchester, finished sixth (1952) 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. Mason graduated from New Albany in May, Galbreath will be a junior and Simpson will be a sophomore. Mason was 22nd (1:05.2) in the 400 hurdles. New Albany tied for 47th (8) behind the first-place Junior Striders (N.C.) Track Club (32). “What I believe this does is that it gives the girls exposure to the next level,” New Albany

coach Otis Winston said. “Last year when I took Taneisha down as a junior, I ran into J.J. Clark, the head track coach at Tennessee, and I was able to tell him about Taneisha. Three months later, she was on an official visit to Tennessee, LSU, Illinois and Kentucky. It really got the ball rolling for us with her recruiting.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
