Karnes to be remembered at county fair By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The 94th edition of the Franklin County Fair will feature some new events and will honor an old friend. Saturday, July 16, the fair’s opening day, is also Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes Day.

Karnes, the longest-serving sheriff in Franklin County history, died last month of pancreatic cancer. He was 71. “He was a big fair supporter, and we want to show our respect and honor him for everything that he’s done for us,” said Allison Rushley, senior fair board member.

Karnes was to have received a golden ticket from fair officials, which would have given him free admission to the fair forever. His wife, Sandy Karnes, will get that ticket. “He was always present at the fair several days throughout the week,” Rushley said of Karnes. “He bought animals from the Ju-

nior Fair kids at the livestock sale and he purchased goods from our Junior Fair kids at the creative baking auction. He also entered his fudge and apple pie into our senior fair board contests.” Also on opening day will be three new events at the entertainment tent: a cute baby contest at 3 p.m., when children 5

and younger will be wearing farm attire; a toddler trot at 4 p.m.; and a diaper dash contest at 4:30 p.m. There will be two new daily shows at the fair — bicycle stunts by Rise Above BMX Entertainment, and the Kidbuck$ Game Show, where children can win prizes by doing different activities.

Ares gets incentives to stay in Ohio By GARY BUDZAK

Hilliard’s Economic Development Department has its own website, with the appropriate address of www.hilliardworks.com. The site has a list of potential economic incentives that Hilliard can offer a company, a map of planned development areas, a commercial real estate search and information for entrepreneurs and small businesses. There’s also a business-oriented community profile on the site. Among the tidbits, it states, “There are approximately 2,198 companies in Hilliard, Ohio. Taken together these companies have estimated annual sales of $1,053,218,996 and employ an estimated 15,034 people.” The site was launched last fall to coincide with the city’s redesigned site. “I wanted an economic development website,” said David Meeks, economic development director. “I’m catering and trying to appeal to an entirely different clientele than the city’s website, which is concerned with the citizens of Hilliard and visitors to Hilliard, and people looking for general information about the city.” Meeks said he wanted to target the website to commercial real estate developers, brokers and site selectors looking to locate and grow a business in Hilliard. “One of the key things in there is a commercial real estate search tool, and that is powered by a company called Xceligent,” Meeks said. He likes it because it lists smaller business properties in Old Hilliard that may not have a broker representing them. Meeks said the site was designed and developed by Andrew Limbert, the owner of Resonant Interactive, LLC, a Hilliard company. “I wanted to make sure we had it done locally,” Meeks said. “This is really meant as a tool for David to speak to businesses,” Limbert said. “If you’re talking with one person one-on-one on the phone, it’s very difficult to impart some of the information that can potentially be shown through a website. I imagine that this tool is used as a communication method for him and the businesses that he speaks with.” Limbert said this is the first city website he’s worked on. Meeks said the site has been well received to date. However, it continues to evolve, and he’s hoping to tailor more pages to small businesses and list more resources. “It’s always going to be a work in progress as is any website, which they should be,” Meeks said.

Ares Sportswear may expand its operations in Hilliard, thanks to state tax credits approved last week by the Ohio Job Creation Tax Credit Authority. “I’m fairly confident that they will stay in Hilliard,” said David Meeks, Hilliard’s economic development director. “This was just the first step, but the state is on board now with its incentives.” “They were approved by the state of Ohio for a job creation tax credit of seven years and 45 percent for the creation of 90 new jobs,” said Dan Borsky, a tax lawyer with Enterprise Advisory Group, LLC, which consulted with Ares. “This offer is contingent upon Ares choosing to expand into Hilliard from its current location.” Ares, a custom screen-printing and embroidery business that supplies sportswear to teams and schools across the country, is currently located at 3650 Parkway Lane and employs nearly 90 people, said spokeswoman Jackie Miller. “I love the property we’re in, except it’s just not big enough any more, and there’s a place down the street that I really like the looks of,” said Ares co-owner Mike Campbell. “We’ve never considered moving the business out of state, but we could put a satellite office on the West Coast that’s closer to our West Coast customers,” Campbell said. More than 75 percent of Ares’ sales are outside of Ohio. “That’s actually what our meeting with See ARES SPORTSWEAR, page A2

Lockers added to aid sunbathers By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard Family Aquatic Center (HFAC) will have 36 lockers installed in each of the restrooms this month. “I went ahead and ordered lockers for the convenience of the patrons,” said Steven Mazer, director of recreation and parks. “That way, if they want to store and lock some of their valuables up — wallets, cell phones — they have a secure area to do so.” Mazer said the metal ventilated lockers are 12 inches wide by 15 inches high by 12 inches deep. People will need to bring their own lock. If belongings are left overnight, they will be removed the next day. “They’re not big lockers, but they’re what we could get into our budget this year,” Mazer said. “There are some dollars available if we need to do the East pool, or maybe add some more lockers to the Aquatic Center. It all depends on the circumstances.” Coin-operated lockers with removable keys were considered, Mazer said, but they were too expensive. “Hopefully, sometime in the near future,

Ares Sportswear receives incentives to stay in Ohio Continued from page A1

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Nick Messer custom screen-prints a shirt in the Ares Sportswear prodution area. The company, 3650 Parkway Lane,is likely to expand its operations in Hilliard after state tax credits were approved last week by the Ohio Job Creation Tax Credit Authority.

Ohio was about — make it easy for us to forget about doing that, which they did,” Campbell said. According to a statement issued on July 1, Ares is looking to purchase a larger facility either in Hilliard, Lewis Center or Columbus. “Staying in Hilliard would be ideal,” Campbell said in the statement. “I am encouraged, but it’s not done yet.” A contingency for Ares to stay in Hilliard is help in terms of economic incentives, Campbell said. Meeks said he will propose that city council extend Ares’ existing in-

centive agreements by five years. “We have an incentive agreement now that provides (Ares) a job creation incentive, and that expires in the year 2016,” Meeks said. “I will be asking council to extend that to the year 2021. That’s similar to what we did with Rich Products Co. “The purpose of our incentive agreements is for companies to grow,” he said. “We’re glad to do our part to support their further growth.” Ares was founded in 1994. Campbell said the business started in co-owner Mike Leibrand’s apartment, and they had to get their hands dirty. “Every time we tried to subcon-

tract the printing work to anybody else, they could never get anything done when they said, and it made us look bad to our customers,” Campbell said. “We eventually bought our own equipment and essentially became the manufacturer and the marketer.” On its website, areswear.com, the company now tells customers the date their order will be shipped by. Campbell said that printing Tshirts is now an entry-level job at Ares. “It’s a blast,” Campbell said. “It’s an interesting little company. We’re not curing cancer or anything like that, but it is fun and customers like us.”

the weight on the track.” For those interested in more horsepower, the fair will have a truck and tractor pull at 7:30 p.m. July 22. This year, for the first time, the National Tractor Pullers

Association will bring a sanctioned event to the Franklin County Fairgrounds. “I like coming up with new and creative things to get people to come to the fair,” Rushley said.

“I like seeing the enjoyment on people’s faces once they come to the fair and see everything that we have to offer.” Last year’s attendance was 47,000, Rushley said, and despite

rainy or hot and humid days, it has gone up overall in recent years. The Franklin County Fair will run from July 16-23 at the Franklin County Fairgrounds, 4100 Columbia St. in Hilliard.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 16, July 22-23; and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. July 17-21. Admission is $5 and $6 (July 22-23); rides separate. For more information, visit www.fcfair.org.

When the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association pulls into the Ohio Expo Center this weekend, eight of the more than 6,000 vehicles will be from Hilliard. For example, Rod Friedman will bring his 1966 Plymouth Belvedere. “It’s a two-door hardtop convertible,” Friedman said. “When all the windows are down, there’s no center post. They don’t make them (like that) any more.” Friedman bought the Belvedere in 1998, and the car is originally from Marietta. “When you see the car, it looks pretty stock, but it isn’t,” Friedman said. The body is all original, but the interior has been customized, and the red top has been changed to make the car all-white. “The biggest thing I did is pulled the engine out of it, rebuilt the engine so it’s up around 400 horsepower,” Friedman said. Front disc brakes, sway bars and electronic ignition were also added. Friedman likes to show his car to auto enthusiasts. “It’s a great chance to meet a bunch of people that are interested in automobiles and take care of them,” he said. “They’re not out there racing them on the street

— they appreciate the cars and they work hard to maintain them. It’s a wholesome hobby.” Joseph Henry has owned his 1962 Ford Thunderbird for 14 years and hopes to do a complete restoration on it. “The only thing I’ve done is put a set of old wheels on it and got it running,” Henry said. “I drive it to regular car shows around town.” He took it to Goodguys last year. “I just like people walking around looking at it.” Other Hilliard gearheads will bring their old Chevys, Fords and a Pontiac Firebird to the Goodguys show. “Not really quite half are from Ohio,” said Goodguys spokeswoman Betsy Bennett. “A lot of

them are from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. There’s 26 different states they’re from coming to the event this year.” Goodguys will put on 21 car shows this year, and Columbus is the ninth stop, Bennett said. “We’re not halfway done until outside of Seattle at the end of July,” Bennett said. “We do the rest between the end of July and November.” “We are very proud of this event and the continued growth that we have had in Columbus,” Marc Meadors, president of Goodguys, said in a statement. “We are celebrating our 14th anniversary here at this facility and it is a great location to put together a terrific event.” The event will be held Friday-

POOL LOCKERS Continued from page A1 that would be the best and most convenient solution — that we could have a pay locker so they wouldn’t have to worry about a padlock or a combination lock.” There have been some instances of thefts of wallets, cell phones and pool passes, Mazer said. “It’s a shame that those things have to occur, but hopefully, with these lockers, it will alleviate some of this,” Mazer said. “Some of the council members and the mayor talked to me about it, and they just thought that the pool being so popular, and we have such large crowds, that it would be a nice amenity to offer this.” On a sunny day, the HFAC can draw 1,000 to 1,200 people, and the East pool might get 150 to 200 people, said Heather Ernst of the recreation and parks department. In addition, more security cameras are being

added to the HFAC, Ernst said. Sgt. David Plesich of the Hilliard Police Department made some suggestions to avoid becoming a victim of theft at the HFAC. “We would advise people to take as little property to the pool with you as possible,” Plesich said. “Second, I would practice the buddy system, so that you always have a friend that’s there with your property. Third, if you can’t have somebody stay with your property, swim in an area where you can still keep an eye on it (and) verbally challenge them. That would normally be enough to scare somebody off.” As far as parking at Municipal Park is concerned, Plesich said, the best thing to do is either not to bring valuables or keep them out of sight in the trunk or under the seat. “Crooks are unlikely to force entry into a locked vehicle unless they have seen the item that they want to go after,” Plesich said. “Our plan this summer is to cut those thefts down.”

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 an extraordinarily large number of cabs for a simple reason: They are not needed. The majority of people living in central Ohio rely on cars or public transportation to get around and do not find themselves regularly in need of a cab to get from place to place. It’s been that way for 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 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

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.

completion of the Scioto River bridge, the omnibus service ran from the train station to all parts of the city. By 1867, there were nine omnibuses in use. They were complemented by an “express wagon” service that was begun in 1854 to deliver packages and freight to all parts of the city and a “pygmy omnibus” service that was begun by one Thomas Brockway in 1855. According to a local paper, a pygmy omnibus seated only four persons, and, “The ladies find them convenient for shopping and the beaux will not use anything else for evening parties.” That was the case at least until the more stylish hackney carriage or “hack” was introduced in Columbus during the Civil War. W. B. Hawkes had made his early fortune in the stagecoach business and now turned his attention to local transportation. His hack service was quite successful. As one local account reported, “... during the Rebellion, this species of vehicle did a thriving business. Money was plenty, officers and soldiers were prodigal of their funds, and the hack men got the benefit. A city ordinance fixed their compensation at 25 cents per passenger, yet one case came to the writer’s knowledge in which a driver charged and was paid $15 for less than 90 minutes time.” With this rapid growth, one might think that by the time Columbus reached the 1890s, it would have dozens of hacks and omnibuses on its streets. Yet there were only six omnibuses and about 30 hacks serving a city of more than 100,000 people. The reason for this lack of vehicles was the success of another mode of transportation. On June 10, 1863, in the 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 parts of the city. By the 1890s, the streetcar lines had been electrified and consolidated into one unified Columbus Railway Power and Light Co. and Columbus was a city of “streetcar suburbs.” A local history from that time noted, “The project of building a belt railway for the transportation of freight and passengers — particularly freight — around the city has been many times proposed and sometimes definitely formulated during the past 10 or 15 years, but a positive undertaking it is yet in the future.” What was not foreseen in the 1890s was the rise of motor vehicles. When the “beltway” was completed, Interstate-270 would be the home of all sorts of vehicles. But none of them would run on rails. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Hilliard woman heads healthcare subsidiary By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hilliard resident Amy Schultz Clubbs was promoted to president of Molina Healthcare of Ohio, the company recently announced. She will oversee the Ohio health plan and its 324 employees in Columbus. “In layman’s terms, we’re the health insurance company for individuals on Medicaid,” Schultz Clubbs said of Molina. Schultz Clubbs was formerly chief operating officer of the Ohio subsidiary of Molina Healthcare, Inc., and prior to that was its chief financial officer. She has 21 years of financial experience and over 15 years of health care and insurance experience. “Amy has a proven track record in management as the COO of Molina Healthcare of Ohio, which will be an asset as she takes on even more of a leadership role as

president,” J. Mario Molina, MD, president of Molina Healthcare, Inc., said. “Promoting executives within the Amy Schultz company alClubbs lows for more seamless transitions and the ability to maximize talent we already have here at Molina Healthcare.” Molina founded the company 30 years ago in Long Beach, Calif., Schultz Clubbs said. “He noticed that individuals were coming into emergency rooms for services that may not really be emergencies, so he ended up opening up clinics to provide primary care services for these individuals.” The company now has licensed health plans in California, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin that serve 1.6 million members.

“We started up in the state of Ohio at the end of 2005, and I’ve been with the company since January 2006,” Schultz Clubbs said. “We have grown from having no members to 245,000 members now. We’re in 50 of the 88 counties.” Schultz Clubbs is a member of the board of trustees for the Neighborhood House, and a member of the Advisory Council for the Children’s Defense Fund in Ohio. She has lived in Hilliard since 1992. “Molina has done a couple of things in the Hilliard community,” she said. “We did a project last year with the Hilliard Free Summer Lunch Program for kids. We actually brought in SmileCare, which is a mobile dental provider. While the kids were there picking up their lunches, they could get dental checkups. We also got some associates to volunteer with distributing the lunches.”

Running

Hoover to follow dreams with RedHawks By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

While being recruited by Division I colleges to run cross country and track, Jessica Hoover took official visits to Illinois, Kentucky, Miami University, Michigan State and Ohio State, and was impressed with each school. However, the 2011 graduate of Hilliard Davidson High School ultimately signed a letter of intent with Miami because she felt most comfortable with women’s cross country and track and field coach Kelly Phillips.

In Phillips’ first season at Miami in 2009, she guided the RedHawks cross country team to a Mid-American Conference title. They finished third in the MAC championships last fall. The women’s track team finished fourth in the MAC championships in 2010 and third this spring. “Ohio State was always up there as a top choice because it’s a big school competing in the Big Ten and I really liked Michigan State, but Miami’s coaching fit me better, so I thought I would love going to Miami even more than those schools,” Hoover said. “Coach

Kelly’s coaching style and personality really stood out to me and the team felt like a big family, like my high school team was. I feel like Miami’s a great school where I can follow my dreams.” Lynn Hoover, who competed in the Boston Marathon in 2007, got her daughter interested in running when she was 11 years old, and Jessica credits her father, Dan, with inspiring her to have a competitive edge. Hoover was 5-foot-4 and weighed 80 pounds as a freshman, but is currently 5-10 and 130 pounds. As a junior, Hoover experienced

breakthrough seasons in both sports. She won four races and placed 38th in the Division I state cross country meet in 19 minutes, 38.63 seconds, and she capped track season by placing fourth in the 1,600 meters (4:57.07) and sixth in the 3,200 (11:01.61) in the Division I state meet. She also anchored Davidson’s 3,200 relay, which placed eighth (9:26.2) at state. “Jessica’s got a distance runner’s build and a tireless work ethic,” Davidson girls track coach Matt Beatty said. “She’s extremely talented and she’s selfless. In the OCC(-Central Division)

meet, she could have won the 1,600 and 3,200, but she volunteered to run the 400, 800, 1,600 and 3,200 relay to help our team score more points.” As a senior, Hoover won the regional cross country meet in 18:43.5 and went on to place fifth at state in 18:07.6. Hoover also placed second in the 1,600 in the state track meet in a programrecord 4:54.6. “I’m definitely a late bloomer,” Hoover said. “I was a twig when I was a freshman, but I grew a lot both physically See HOOVER, page B3

Women’s Basketball

Haley on track despite injury By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

dividual 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 in Canton was full of

Even though she was being recruited by dozens of Division I colleges, Watterson High School’s Courtney Haley made a verbal commitment in April 2010 to play women’s basketball for Western Michigan because she believed the coaching staff had her best interests in mind. On June 19, 2010, Haley learned exactly how valuable she was to Western Michigan coach Tasha McDowell when she injured her right knee while making a layup. Despite the fact that Haley had to have surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a strained medial collateral ligament and torn meniscus, the Broncos didn’t withdraw their scholarship offer and Haley signed her letter of intent on Nov. 10. “The main reasons I wanted to play for Western Michigan were that I loved the campus and the coaches seemed like genuine people who had my best interests in mind instead of people who were saying what I wanted to hear,” said Haley, a 2011 Watterson graduate who lives in Hilliard. “When I injured my knee it crossed my mind that they might not want me anymore because another coach told me they had just pulled a scholarship offer from a girl who had blown out her knee. But when I called (McDowell) to tell her what happened, she said she was going to stand behind me because she had come back from an ACL injury and understood what I was going through.” Haley, who earned first-team CCL and honorable mention alldistrict honors as a sophomore and a junior, missed her senior season while recovering from her injury, as an excessive amount of scar tissue slowed the healing process. Haley participated in the Capital City All-Star Game on April 16 at Reynoldsburg, winning the 3-point contest by making 40 of 50 attempts. “Courtney’s an extremely good shooter and a lot of that has to do with her work ethic,” Watterson coach Tom Woodford said. “She’s known to go to different gyms around the city to shoot the ball for hours. Before we went to a shootout one time, she went to

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 postseason 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 spectacularly in more than one aspect dur-

ing 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 in-

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.” Weber, the Pickerington Post 283 coach, said many of the kids who choose travel ball believe they get to play on a bigger stage with more college scouts and recruiters in attendance. “They want to go to showcases where they think they can be seen,” Weber said. “One way to do that is through travel baseball.

How long does it take a trend to become the norm? In the past few years, central Ohio baseball players have started taking their talents to travel squads at the expense of American Legion teams. The players, high school coaches and Legion coaches debate the reasons for the change, but it doesn’t appear to be something that can be easily resolved. “The number of teams has decreased, but I wouldn’t say the talent has necessarily decreased that much,” said Michael Higgins, baseball chairman in Legion District 12. “I think we peaked a few years back when we had a dozen or more teams in District 12. Now we have six teams in the Senior Division and we have four teams in the Junior Division, which is in its second season of being officially recognized by American Legion. “When we had 12 (Senior Division) teams, people around the state were amazed. I think the increase to 12 teams was the abnormality, not the decrease in posts we’re now experiencing.”

OBLIGATIONS TO PLAYERS

ECONOMIC WOES Higgins said one of the big reasons for fewer posts offering baseball is the weak economy. “The economy has definitely played a role because many of the posts can’t afford to play in tournaments every weekend in addition to the league play during the week,” Higgins said. “I also think the increasing number of participants in sports such as soccer and lacrosse has taken away some of our kids.” About a dozen years ago, Newark Post 85 ran into a similar problem and decided to only fund a few of its team’s tournaments. The area’s baseball gurus got together and formed the Licking County Athletics. After a few separate years, the team and Post 85 reunited and added a few other sponsors. The Athletics played a Legion schedule, a Babe Ruth schedule and also played in select elite tournaments. Pickerington Post 283 is in the same position, playing a schedule similar to what the Athletics played in the past. “Our post is the reason we still have a true Legion team,” coach Chris Weber said. “They support us financially way beyond what 90 percent of other posts in Ohio do. They believe in Legion baseball and baseball has brought good publicity to our post.” Because of Post 283’s financial support, the team plays other travel squads and competes in a number of elite tournaments. “We’re in a special situation where

Former NBA player Leon Rodgers, an Eastmoor Academy graduate, has organized the fifth annual Battle for Peace Classic at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 9, at Columbus East High School. In addition to an All-Star game featuring NBA and former college players with ties to Columbus, the event will include a community march, a battle of the bands contest, a step show and a 3-on-3 outdoor youth tournament. Proceeds will benefit Rodgers Neighborhood Basketball, a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 by Rodgers to mentor at-risk youth.

IT’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. “We went with a younger team with no 19-year-olds or college players this season,” coach Adam Arcuri said. “We think we have a lot of boys who plan to play in college and we wanted them to play against elite and select teams who also have older players. It’s a gauge as to where they are and where they need to be if they want to continue to play the game.” Derek Yahn, a Heath senior who plays for the Athletics, said the team is enjoying the challenge. “This allows us to travel out of town more often and we’re hanging out and becoming friends and I think that’s showing on the diamond,” Yahn said. “We’re a younger team competing against Legion teams with college players and in tournaments against older players, too.

such that we’re playing select teams and we’re playing the true Legion teams in these tournaments. That’s what we want.”

Another big difference between most travel teams and Legion teams is the size of the roster. “Travel teams generally use 11 or 12 players all summer,” Weber said. “At Post 283, we have great players competing every day for the chance to get into the lineup. Legion rosters can be deeper and more competitive because the players have to earn their way into the lineup. And that’s the way it will be for the kids who go on to play in college.” That means a player who is slumping or not performing well can be substituted without consternation. “At Post 283, the best players play,” Weber said. “It doesn’t matter how much money their parents pay or what their parents do for a living. I’m not saying all travel teams are like that, but it doesn’t matter here.” In travel ball, there is more opportunity for coaches to be loyal to players and maybe even some favoritism when it comes to positions played based on how much money is invested by a player’s parents, or the money donated by a parent’s employer. “Let’s face it. There are probably some real good players in central Ohio who don’t play travel ball because his parents can’t afford it,” Weber said. For all their differences, Legion and travel baseball have one thing in common — trying to improve players. Nuances and financial times may change, and that leaves the door open for Legion to eventually return to some of its better years in central Ohio.

Those scheduled to participate in the All-Star game include former Ohio State players Mike Conley (Memphis Grizzlies), Jon Diebler, Ron Lewis, David Lighty, Scoonie Penn and Evan Turner (Philadelphia 76ers). Kenny Gregory, a former standout at Independence High School and Kansas, also is scheduled to play. For more information, email rodgers.neighborhood@yahoo.com or call (614) 522-9602.

Eagles U-16 defense falters in Cup final loss By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

the past two days just to make it here, and the Hawks werenâ€™t really tested until they played us.â€? In the semifinal, the Eagles beat KCFC Force to avenge a 3-2 loss to the same team in a Regional Cup pool-play game a year ago. â€œThey manhandled us on the field to knock us out of the tournament last year, but we turned the tables on them and shocked them with how physical we were,â€? King said. Five minutes into the game, Hopkins stopped the ball from going over the Eaglesâ€™ goal line and cleared it to midfield. Playing into a strong wind, the Eagles battled to a scoreless tie at halftime. They then dominated the second half with the wind at their backs. Agnew scored three consecutive goals and Elise Jones scored with three minutes left to make it 4-0. It was the second three-goal game of the tournament for Agnew, who finished with seven goals in five games. â€œWe were under siege for the first eight minutes and Nicole really saved us on a ball that would have scored,â€? King said. â€œLindsay had a great tournament and her goal just a minute into the second half really broke their spirit because they were going into a stiff wind.â€? â€˘The Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls team lost to Eclipse Select 3-0 in a semifinal on June 28. â€œWe are probably the best two teams in our region, so itâ€™s a shame we had to meet in the semifinals,â€? King said. â€œThe score wasnâ€™t indicative of how close the game was because we gave up a couple of soft goals by our standards. We made a couple of mistakes on our end and they punished us for it.â€?

With defenders Gabby Byorth, Makenzie Costner, Nicole Hopkins and Haley Lehmkuhl and goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas leading the way, the Ohio Premier Eagles Under16 girls soccer team had shutouts in each of its first four Midwest Regional Cup games in Fox Cities, Wis. The defense wasnâ€™t as strong in the final, when the Eagles allowed two goals in the first 12 minutes and lost to the Michigan Hawks 2-0 on June 29. â€œWe hadnâ€™t given up a goal the entire tournament, so we were in shock when we gave up two so quickly,â€? coach Chris King said. â€œWe conceded a soft goal off a corner kick seven minutes into the game and the kids were a bit taken aback by that. Five minutes later, one of their players took a bad touch on the ball, ran into one of our defenders and went down, and the ref bit on it and gave her a penalty kick, which they scored on.â€? The Eagles switched from a two-forward to a three-forward formation in the second half, but the Hawks goalkeeper made saves on shots by Bailey Wilson, Emily Byorth and Lindsay Agnew. King said that his teamâ€™s 1-0 win over Eclipse Select of Illinois on penalty kicks in its final pool-play game on June 27 and its 4-0 victory over KCFC Force of Kansas in a semifinal on June 28 drained his players of much-needed energy heading into the final. â€œWe had a tougher path to reach the final than the Hawks had and we just didnâ€™t have enough left in the tank to come back and beat them after we fell behind 2-0,â€? King said. â€œWe pressed every ball in the second half and we had some good chances, but we couldnâ€™t finish them.

Junior Golf

AJGA’s Columbus Junior returns to Scarlet By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The eighth Columbus Junior presented by the Memorial Tournament will be held Tuesday, July 12, through Thursday, July 14, at the Ohio State Golf Club Scarlet Course. It is the third time that the American Junior Golf Association event will be played on the Scarlet Course after stops in 2004 and 2009. The Columbus Junior has been held at four venues, also including Dornoch Golf Club (2005-06), Tartan Fields (2008) and the County Club at Muirfield Village (2007, 2010). Last year, Nicholas Grubnich of Crown Point, Ind., shot a 6-under-par 210 and survived five playoff holes to win the boys division and Lindsey Weaver of Scottsdale, Ariz., posted an 11-under 205 to cruise to a 12-stroke victory in the girls division. Neither will be in the field this season.

There are 18 central Ohio players scheduled to take part in the 84-player field, which features top junior players (ages 12-18) from 16 states, Canada and Colombia. Area players on the boys side are Garrett Brickley (Pickerington), Alex Carpenter (Westerville), Thomas Dunne (Dublin), Joo-Young Lee (Hilliard), Matthew Moosavian (Westerville), Mert Selamet (Dublin), David Shepherd (Dublin), Blake Stewart (Dublin), Drew Thompson (Pickerington) and Nate Yankovich (Blacklick). Dunne (Dublin Coffman), Carpenter (St. Charles), Lee (Hilliard Darby), Thompson (Pickerington North) and Yankovich (St. Charles) all competed in the event last season. Carpenter was one of three others who joined Grubnich in the playoff after all four finished with 210s. Dunne (215) tied for 15th, Lee (219) tied for 33rd, Thompson (221) was 37th and Yankovich (222) tied for 38th.

“My goal is to finish in the top five,” said Thompson, a 2011 graduate who will play for Guilford College (Greensboro, N.C.), which is a highly ranked NCAA Division III program. “It will be my sixth AJGA event this season, it’s on a fun course and I’ve been playing pretty well.” Yankovich, who will be a senior in the fall, is very familiar with the Scarlet Course after playing in the state tournament with the Cardinals the past two seasons. St. Charles won the title both seasons and Yankovich tied for second (75) in the tournament in 2009, when rain canceled the second round. Last season he tied for 10th (155) and teammate Michael Ricaurte (144) was medalist. Carpenter (159) tied for 18th as St. Charles won by 11 strokes. “I’ve played that course several times, but I don’t have a (score) in mind because it depends on how it’s playing then,” said Yankovich, who

has made college visits to Miami University, Michigan State, Illinois and Purdue. “It’s the closest AJGA event, but I want to go in there like I do every tournament – all business. I want to focus on my game, play my best and have fun doing it.” In the girls field, area competitors include Sierra Everson (Gahanna), Tess Fraser (Marysville), Lauren Grogan (Columbus), Erin Harper (Dublin), Natalie Irwin (Columbus), Julie Lechner (Powell), Morgan Ransom (Columbus) and Gina Son (Westerville). Ransom (Columbus Academy), Fraser, Grogan (Watterson) and Lechner (Olentangy Liberty) competed in the event last season. Ransom (227) was fifth, Grogan (229) tied for seventh, Lechner (240) was 18th and Fraser (243) was 19th. Ransom, a senior, was the Division II state champion (140) last season on OSU’s Gray Course after finishing runner-up as a sophomore and freshman.

Grogan finished third (151) in the Division I state tournament as Watterson was eighth. Fraser (160) tied for 18th overall as an individual qualifier. “I didn’t play to my ability (in the Columbus Junior) last season,” said Fraser, a senior who won the Tanglewood Junior on the Future Collegians World Tour with a 157 on March 1920. “Competing in the AJGA is a little stressful, but it is opening my eyes some. I hope to make a name for myself and I’m getting contacts, but I haven’t really heard seriously from any colleges yet. “I hope to finish in the top five in Columbus and I’m working hard trying to hit greens in regulation. I’m hitting fairways, but I need to get to the green to give myself more birdie opportunities.”

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

We’re also currently enjoying the shortlived wild Alaskan salmon season. If you’ve only had commonplace farmed Atlantic salmon, I urge you to seek out their more elegant Pacific cousin.

If pristine and rarely seen seafood isn’t your thing, try the lean and mean Marinated American Bison Flatiron Steak ($28). The tender, beefy meat had a sexy char on it and except for a couple of gristly bites, was a delight.

After 14 years in Northland, Spain to reopen in Lewis Center

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Spain Restaurant is opening at the intersection of Powell Road and U.S. Route 23 after being in Northland for 14 years

A new era in the history of Spain Restaurant begins in Lewis Center. After 14 years in the Northland area, the restaurant has relocated to 76 Powell Road, in the former Beeb’s Deli location. Owner Andres Casal said he closed the Northland site in late May to concentrate on his new store, set to open later this month. “The space is comfortable,” he said. “It’s nice — not too big, not too small.” He has spent the last several months renovating the interior, building a bar and installing a new floor and seating. The 3,600-square-foot building seats 120, with another 40 on the patio. The menu offers many traditional Spanish dishes, such as paella, gazpacho and cabrito, or goat, which is marinated for four days before being slow-cooked. The bill of fare is heavy on seafood dishes, with beef and poultry dishes represented as well. There’s even duck a l’orange, using Casal’s own special recipe. Most dinner entrees are in the $17 to $20 range. In addition to a set lunch menu, 10 specials will be featured for the afternoon crowd, Casal said. No lunch item will top $10, he said. All desserts — including flan, cheesecake and tres leches cake — are made from scratch. Spain also will carry a full liquor license but will not offer tapas, a style of small plates often misinterpreted in American restaurants. “Maybe in the future I’ll open a tapas bar — a real tapas bar — downtown,” he said. As with the previous location, the latest Spain will have white tablecloths and linen napkins

for a sophisticated look but a casual ambience. The restaurant got its start in 1994 on the West Side. Casal, who began cooking professionally in restaurants in New Jersey, was hired at the original location shortly after it opened. He bought his way into the ownership over the years. Casal will reopen Spain nightclub in the former storefront at 888 W. Dublin-Granville Road in the Best Western Hotel in the next week or so, he said. It will be open Friday and Saturday. Yet, the neighborhood couldn’t seem to get back on the upswing, so Casal decided to move to an area that’s closer to his customer base. With few upscale dining options in the immediate area, the restaurant is perfectly situated between Polaris and nearby Powell, he said. “It’s good for me,” he said. “Competition is good but sometimes it’s good to not have too much competition.” Misperceptions still persist about Spanish cooking, which tends to be lumped in with any cuisine south of the American border, Casal said. He said his style of cuisine is largely uncomplicated, allowing for clean, natural flavors. “I think the best food is the simplest,” he said. Spain will be open for lunch Monday through Friday and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (740) 548-6900.
