Quiet zone at Leap/Davidson railroad crossings

Recommendation forwarded to council By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Veterans to be honored at fairgrounds powwow By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A powwow held this weekend at the Franklin County Fairgrounds will honor and celebrate veterans. According to the Native American Indian Center of Central

Ohio, which sponsors the powwow, war veterans traditionally open the event by leading dancers into the center of an arena to start each day with prayer and a flagraising. The powwow will include drum groups, dancing in regalia, contests, arts and crafts, and food

such as fry bread. Ross Davidson will be one of the participants in the powwow. Davidson, 73, lives in Plain City and has served in the U.S. Navy and as a police chief. He is also a maker of dance regalia, an expert at beading and quilting who has been accepted into the Na-

tive American community. “Modern-day powwows as we know them began just before or shortly after World War II in Oklahoma,” Davidson said, “then they spread like wildfire.” Veterans are honored, he said, because

“

It’s a family event. We get to see people we haven’t seen for a while, and meet new ones. That’s what it’s about — a celebration of life.

Quiet zone recommendation sent to council Continued from page A1 completed safety measures at each crossing, the legislation said. After the meeting, Roberts said those measures were detrimental to fire and emergency vehicles needing to get through the crossings. Resident Ryan Lee asked why Hilliard

would want to establish a quiet zone not long after a high school student was killed while walking on the railroad tracks. In that incident, the whistle was sounded, but the student was wearing headphones and didn’t hear the train behind him. Even in a quiet zone, trains would still be able to sound their horns if needed,

committee members said. Afterwards, at Monday night’s city council meeting, council unanimously approved: • Equally dividing the coins collected from the First Responders Park fountain at the end of the year and giving them to the Norwich Township Fire Department’s and Hilliard Police Depart-

ment’s benevolent funds. • Allowing pushcarts and pushcart vendors to operate. • An economic development agreement with Rich Products Corp. to create 25 more jobs in Hilliard. • Reimbursing Schottenstein Real Estate Group for part of the expenditures made in extending Riggins Road

to Wilcox Road. • A contract for the annual sanitary sewer cleaning and closed-circuit television program. • A community reinvestment area tax abatement agreement with Tri-State Educational Systems, Inc. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

and Sunday, and 5 p.m. Monday. “Having the powwow at the fairgrounds in Hilliard brings a lot of culture and diversity to our community and it also brings in visitors,” said Christy Clark, Destination Hilliard executive director. “Last year, we had 50 hotel rooms that individuals who participated in the powwow stayed at, so that generated quite a bit of income for us.”

Usually, the powwows are held at the fairgrounds on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. However, those aren’t the only events that go on at the Fairgrounds besides the eight-day Franklin County Fair. According to Destination Hilliard, the fairgrounds hosted 134 events last year in addition to the fair, including the powwows, auctions, gun shows, horse

in a statement. “We have events throughout the year during the week and on the weekends that draw people from all over the United States.”

FOR THE GRADUATE

SAFETY TOWN Continued from page A1 Department and the Norwich Township Fire Department, will take place June 13-17 at Scioto Darby Elementary School. Children 5 and 6 years old (born between Oct. 1, 2004, and Sept. 30, 2006) entering kindergarten or having completed kindergarten and who have not attended the previous years are eligible to attend. This year’s morning classes are full, but there are still openings for the 1-4 p.m. afternoon sessions. A maximum of 288 children, 18 per class, will learn all about safety in a child-sized town setting with crosswalks. “We cover a gamut, but probably the main thing is pedestrian-type safety,” Jacobs said. “Half the class practices walking as pedestrians, and the other half rides tricycles with their helmets on.” Other topics include school bus safety, fire safety, water safety, seat belt safety, animal safety, 911 emergency calls, stranger danger and what to do if they find a gun. By the end of the class, the children will walk on a real street, escorted by police officers. “Everything imaginable we try to cover,” Jacobs said. “It is a lot of fun.”

The children will even have a graduation the night of June 17 at Bradley High School. Jacobs said the children will see firefighters and police officers every day at Safety Town, and seeing them in uniform is an additional benefit for the children, she said. “Young children, you know they can sometimes be afraid of

New Hilliard city maps are available By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The new 2011-12 Hilliard city map was recently printed and is available at no charge at city hall and other public locations. A couple of inches smaller in size than the 2009-10 edition, the map contains similar features. The city’s boundaries, subdivisions, streets, schools, condominiums, paths, parks and water features are all drawn on a letter and number grid. On the opposite side, there’s an alphabetical index of streets, schools, housing and parks. The new map also shows a service quadrant map and important local phone numbers. There’s even some text from

Hilliard Mayor Don Schonhardt, who wrote, “Our administration has made streets and roadways a top priority because the only thing most residents use more than streets and roads are water and sewer.” A comparison of the new and the 2009-10 maps show some differences, with proposed changes like a connector from Anson Drive to Leap Road being completed. The new map shows where other future roads and multi-use pathways will be built. In the works are an extension of Trueman Boulevard connecting Hayden Run Road to Riggins Road, extending Wilcox Road to Davidson Road, and connecting Cosgray Road to Alton & Darby Creek Road.

“We think it’s a good map,” said Clyde Seidle, director of public service and city engineer. “It’s current as of April 2011.” Seidle said the city’s geographic information systems technicians use computer-aided design to update the map yearly, or when there are enough changes to warrant a new one to be produced. The city accepted applications for 5,000 copies of the map to be printed, and Hilliard’s Baesman Group, Inc. won the bid. The Hilliard Area Chamber of Commerce assisted financially with the printing, said president and CEO Libby Gierach. “We also use the maps, so it just makes sense to partner with the city to bring this to the community,” Gierach said.

I-270 crash halts Monday morning rush By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers A jack-knifed semi carrying flammable chemicals closed down and blocked portions of I-270 near Hilliard for nine hours on May 23. The truck slid off the interstate west of Roberts Road around 8:15 a.m., possibly due to the rain, and overturned on its side. By 8:45 a.m., Hilliard Police had issued an alert that the freeway was “closed due to a hazardous tanker spill.” The driver of the rig was not injured. No other vehicles were involved. The truck was carrying a 6,000-gallon tank

containing 1,000 gallons of alpha-methylstyrene (AMS), which brought out the hazardous materials team from the Columbus Division of Fire. AMS is a colorless, fast-burning chemical used to make plastics. It can cause skin, eye, nose and throat irritation and drowsiness if one comes in contact with it. “There was a small leak, but they were able to contain it,” said Norwich Township Fire Chief David Long, whose staff was on the scene to help support the effort. In terms of the jurisdiction of the accident, Long said, “It was actually in Columbus.”

Epilepsy Foundation grateful for generosity

Sun.-Thurs. Lunch 11 am-4 pm; Dinner 4 pm-9 pm Fri. & Sat. Lunch 11 am-4 pm; Dinner 4 pm -10 pm

To the editor: As nonprofits look to raise revenue to support their causes, it seems establishing a new fundraiser is a chance that must be taken. That’s just what the Epilepsy Foundation of Central Ohio did when it debuted Viva Las Vino on May 6 at the Loft at Smith Bros. Hardware, 580 N. 4th St. The chance was well worth it. Presented by American Electric Power, the wine-tasting showcased wines from Glazer’s Distributors and sported a Vegas theme. By night’s end, more than $19,000 was raised for our programs and services. We consider that a great success. But, we did not achieve that success alone. We are grateful to those whose generosity helped us to achieve our goal, including Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Team Epilepsy, Nationwide Insurance, Fifth Third Bank, White Castle, Dinsmore Public Sector Advisors, Webface

and a special sponsorship named in memory of Bob Carlisle. We want to acknowledge the hard work of our event chair, Eric Clarke, as well as Epilepsy Foundation executive director Dianna Doyle, our board of directors, our staff and our many volunteers. The Epilepsy Foundation of Central Ohio is a private, non-profit social service organization that provides services to people living with epilepsy and seizure disorder, their families and caregivers as well as providing public education. The Foundation’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for those affected by epilepsy and to increase the understanding of epilepsy in central Ohio. Thanks to the tremendous support we received through Viva Las Vino, we will continue to do just that. Stephanie Cassini-Carlisle president, board of directors Epilepsy Foundation of Central Ohio

As it were

Memorial Day 1911: Parades, services, decoration of graves It was a rainy Sunday in Columbus on the weekend before Memorial Day in 1911. But that did not stop a lot of people from “making an excursion” to the city. According to a local newspaper of the time, more than 5,000 people arrived in the city by train and interurban railway from places as distant as Cleveland, Cincinnati and Parkersburg, W. Va. They came to see the sites, visit local amusement parks and shop in the stores of the capital city. Among the popular sites were the Statehouse, the campus of Ohio State University and the institutions for the blind, the deaf, the mentally ill and the criminally penitent. This was, after all, the weekend before Memorial Day and one might assume that people were simply celebrating a long threeday weekend. But that is not what they were doing at all. In 1911, Memorial Day was celebrated on May 30 — no matter what day of the week it might happen to be. In 1911, it happened to be Tuesday, so most of these people seeking, as one reporter put it, “spots where cooling breezes ought to blow” or “places where inspiring liquors ought to flow” had a nice day in the capital city, boarded their trains and left central Ohio for a working day on Monday in their hometowns. While most people in Columbus went about their business on Monday, May 29, several dozen others were working furiously to prepare for the holiday that was only one day away. And there was a lot of work to do. Local veterans and civic organizations combined with social service organizations to plan and prepare a full day of activities for Memorial Day. It was begun as a day to remember the men who died serving their country in the Civil War, but it had become increasingly a time to remember veterans of all of America’s wars and a Decoration Day for family plots in America’s cemeteries, as well. While there were parades to plan and religious services to prepare, most of the real work of Memorial Day involved flowers — lots and lots of flowers. In 1911, the organizers of Memorial Day planned to put an American flag and a bouquet of flowers on the grave of every veteran in the city. The school children of Columbus were asked to bring bouquets of flowers to the Franklin County Memorial Hall on Monday, May

29. The public was also asked to bring flowers. There was no reason to worry. By Tuesday mornED ing, there were more than LENTZ enough flowers to accompany the 2,500 American flags to be placed in the cemeteries: “Carnations, roses, peonies and syringa blossoms were the most numerous in the collection.” At 7:30 a.m. on the morning of Memorial Day, veterans groups met at Memorial Hall in uniform, marched a few blocks to Statehouse Square and boarded streetcars to ride to Green Lawn and Mount Calvary cemeteries. They were soon followed by hundreds of people who joined them at the cemeteries for services. At 9 a.m., flowers were placed at the McKinley Memorial in front of the Statehouse and at 11 a.m., a 46-gun artillery salute was fired in the Statehouse yard by local soldiers from the Columbus Barracks (now Fort Hayes). At 1 p.m., local veterans groups, military organizations, marching bands and most of the Columbus Police Department formed up for a march through downtown. Returning to Memorial Hall, many of the marchers stayed to listen to a program of music and patriotic speeches. Religious services also were held in a number of local churches through the day. Many people did not stay downtown for all of these events. Some

had left town early in the day, since most businesses, schools and offices were closed and the excursion cars to Buckeye Lake, Griggs Dam and local amusement parks were running early and often. And then there were some people who were not free to attend these events. As one paper put it, “Because it is Memorial Day, and in appreciation of things they have done and may do for their country, prisoners at the Workhouse who are Civil War or SpanishAmerican War veterans, or members of the regular army or national guard, at noon today will be served with a special dinner. “Although the services for the Civil and Spanish war veterans at the Penitentiary Sunday were attended by 98 former soldiers, but three of them served in the Civil War and 95 during the SpanishAmerican War … The number of Civil War veterans has greatly decreased during the past 10 years, by deaths and pardons. The 98 men have organized Walled City Camp and hold meetings just as the old soldiers do at Memorial Hall.” Other people attended all or part of the downtown observances and then departed for family gatherings in local parks or on the front porches of their homes. In the evening, the residents of many Columbus neighborhoods gathered for a fireworks celebration and further festivities. All in all, it was a pleasant day for the unofficial beginning of the summer of 1911 in Columbus. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Hilliard BZA officers to remain unchanged By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The officers on Hilliard’s Board of Zoning Appeals will remain the same for this year, it was determined at a meeting on May 19. There will be at least one upcoming change to the board, however: Nathan Painter, who was appointed in January

2010, will serve until the end of the year. Painter, an attorney, was elected to Hilliard City Council in the May primary and will be sworn in next January. BZA vice president Barb Rushley said that due to Painter’s election, council will have to appoint someone to replace him on the board and serve out his fiveyear term, which expires at the end of 2014.

Brent Gilmore, a financial planning business owner, will remain BZA president. He was originally appointed in 1996, and his term will expire at the end of 2013. Rushley, a respiratory therapist, will remain vice president. She was originally appointed in 2002, and her term will expire at the end of 2011. Dean Worthington, a Columbus Po-

I-270 northbound was closed from Roberts Road to Cemetery Road, and I-270 southbound was closed from Tuttle Crossing Boulevard to Roberts Road for much of the day. The crash turned the morning rush hour into a parking lot, with cars forced to turn around on the freeway. At one point, ramps from U.S. 33 to I-270 South, I-70 West to I-270 North, Tuttle Crossing to I-270 South, Cemetery Road to I270 South, and Roberts Road to I-270 North and

According to the city of Hilliard, the city council-appointed BZA consists of seven members who “rule on variances to the city’s Zoning Code such as setbacks for decks and fences.” They meet at 7 p.m. the third Thursdays of each month in the Hilliard Municipal Building. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

In addition to Painter, the other BZA members are Charles Boshane (appointed in 2001, term expires at the end of 2015); James Ervin (appointed in March 2010, term expires at the end of 2015) and Frank Moeller (appointed in 1996, term expires at the end of 2015).

I-270 South were all closed. Motorists were advised to take U.S. 33 or state Route 315. At 3:30 p.m. that afternoon, Ohio Department of Transportation spokesman David Rose said local law enforcement and emergency agencies “were still cleaning up and trying to get the lanes open for rush hour.” By 5:30 p.m., I-270 was open in both directions. Hilliard Police Chief Doug Francis summed up the mess that night during the city council meeting when he said, “There was not a lot of joy out there.”

MARBURN ACADEMY CONGRATULATES AARON SVOBODA

“STUDENT SPOTLIGHT” Marburn Academy is proud to acknowledge the contributions of Robert S. Garek Merit Scholarship recipient Aaron Svoboda to the Marburn Academy community. Junior Aaron Svoboda enjoys coming to Marburn Academy every day. “Every year at Marburn is a good year. I receive individual attention from my High School teachers and they understand the way I learn best. I can’t wait to be a senior, and work on my Capstone documentary project next year,” said Svoboda. Research in bio-remediation, culminating in an individual project on utilizing a bio-filter to help sustain life is a major focus for Svoboda at Marburn. The High School science faculty supports him in this endeavor. Svoboda also uses his expertise in climbing and rappelling to volunteer with the Marburn Lower Division and Middle Division Voyageurs program. He has assisted several different classes with their climbing and rappelling skills. Climbing is an important skill taught at Marburn. As a result of his experience with climbing from Marburn Academy, Svoboda has almost completed his certification in climbing from Summit Vision Center, located in Westerville, Ohio. Svoboda also participates in Cross Country and volunteers with his church. Everyone at Marburn Academy is proud of an outstanding leader like Aaron Svoboda.

Michael Brewer has two severed heads and a set of daggers on his bed and a moose head on his dining room table. It goes with the territory when you’re working on Evil Dead The Musical. “I’ve been waiting for the scary dreams to start,” Brewer said, only half-joking. Brewer is set designer for CATCO’s production of Evil Dead The Musical, which opens next week. He said that, from a special-effects standpoint, it’s the biggest show he’s ever done, including operas and large-cast musicals. “We’re having (production) conversations about a singing beaver,” Brewer said. The show is a spoof of the popular cult slasher films, CATCO artistic director Steven Anderson, who also directs Evil Dead, told The Beat. As such, Brewer explained, the effects are designed to be “cool and awesome, but not scary. Believable, but not realistic.” “It’s a musical,” Anderson added. “We have eight good voices. The show is good fun, good comedy. Folks are going to walk out of the theatre humming the melodies. The other stuff is just icing on the cake.” Actually, the other stuff is not so much cake decoration but severed body parts (“I’ve spent hours looking for and buying body parts,” Brewer said, ostensibly meaning fake ones) and blood. Lots of blood. The theatre will include a “Safe Zone” and a “Splatter Zone.” The splattering blood has been measured at a maximum of 18 feet. “We’ll be providing protection,” Anderson assured. Josef Matulich was brought in to be the show’s “blood czar.” “There’s no such thing as an expert,” Matulich explained. “It’s

more mad inventor status.” He said he’s worked with a variety of mixtures — that, in addition to the visual effect, the blood formula must also be washable (costumes must last the threeweek run, for example), must be safe enough for actors to be sprayed in the face and needs to not jam the pumps and fixtures used to deliver the blood. For example, there is a scene in which an actor is stabbed with a dagger that is followed by a song delivered while using a hand pump to pump blood from the “wound.” “When an actor has to sing and dance while spurting blood, it complicates things,” Matulich said. Indeed — the functionality of the blood delivery mechanisms impacts more than just the technical aspect of the show. “The challenge in blocking the show was, whereas normally you are concerned with stage fixtures and the relationships of the ac-

tors, you have to get the actors to where things can happen, but get them there in a way that makes sense,” Anderson explained. “I’m comfortable we’ve achieved the goal of making it plausible and natural,” Brewer added. Apart from the times actors are asked to handle certain effects, much of the rest of the bleeding is coordinated from a single workstation under the stage, designed and built by Matulich. “It’s like a command center with gang valves,” he said. “I’ve discovered more types of plumbing fittings than I knew existed.” “You start out with an ideal of what you want and then work with the team to discover what you can do,” Anderson said. “I’ve been amazed at how close to ideal you can get.” For more on CATCO’s production of Evil Dead The Musical, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.

Hilliard Davidson Student of the Month: Corey Yant Presented by: David Stanley - Nationwide Insurance

Corey Yant, a senior who will be graduating from Hilliard Davidson High School, is being recognized for his high school achievements. Corey will be attending The Ohio State University in the fall to major in Marketing. His achievements throughout high school have helped him get where he is today. “Corey is an interesting young man with a unique sense of humor. Through the course of casual conversation, I have come to know him as a lover of all things soccer. Remember the Titans is a film that is especially inspirational to him,” Corey’s World Literature, Mr. Owens, explains. Corey holds a Renaissance Card, which means he has maintained a high GPA throughout his high school career. He has also received an Academic Letter for his achievements in the classroom. “Academically, Corey has always given his best. From very early on, he was very good at time management. He would look at his studies for the night and determine how much time he needed to devote to studying. Then he would fit in eating and practicing soccer or shooting hoops on the driveway. We have never needed to get on him about school,” Corey’s mother, Kathy Yant, explains. Corey also stays active in the community as a member of the French Club, Physics Club, Fellow Christian Athletes, and Freshman Focus. Corey has enjoyed being a Freshman Focus Leader. It gave him the opportunity to teach younger students how to adapt to high school. Corey also played Varsity Soccer at Hilliard Davidson. Ms. Yant explains, “Corey loves soccer. He lives for soccer. Everything becomes a soccer ball. He would practice every day, rain or shine. I can’t tell you how many times I had to ask him to stop dribbling the ball in the house!” Corey’s favorite high school memory was winning the Soccer State Championship title during his freshman year. He has been a member of the soccer team for all four years of high school. He seriously considered playing in college, but he has elected to focus on his education instead. He wants to study business, and he has determined that The Ohio State University would be his best choice, even though it means he won’t play collegiate soccer. However, he plans to play club soccer. Corey currently plays for Crew Juniors, and he is a volunteer at Top Soccer. Staying on top of academics and sports is not an easy task, but Corey has been able to manage it by having great role models along the way. “His coaches have always been outstanding. He has learned many lifelong skills from each of them. Probably his greatest role model is his older brother Kyle, who graduated from Davidson in 2008. Kyle loves sports, also, and has been a volunteer coach for both football and baseball for the past three years. Corey will many times ask how Kyle can go to school, work and coach all at the same time. I always say, ‘If you love something, you find a way.’ Both boys are extremely hard working, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds,” Corey’s mother explains. Corey Yant is a scholar, leader and athlete. We congratulate him on his achievements and wish him the best as he heads on to The Ohio State University.

Financial finesse

Be prepared by getting pre-approved Despite countless stories about the troubles in the housing market, there are many options available. That said, the first step in determining whether or not to shop for that new home is to discuss your financial situation with a trusted mortgage professional and get pre-approved. A pre-approval is one of two common processes prospective homebuyers engage in before making an offer on a home; prequalification is the other. Both allow customers to begin the buying process with a good idea of what they can afford, but there are clear advantages to going one step beyond pre-qualification to get pre-approved. Pre-qualification uses a homebuyer’s financial information — income, debts and other monthly obligations, such as child support payments — to determine a

buyer’s debt ratio. Depending on how much or how little is available for a down payment, this BRIAN process helps to determine BURSTEIN the size mortgage the buyer can afford and the type of mortgage that best meets the buyer’s needs. Pre-approval takes the approval process to the end — almost. Only a few items remain outstanding, such as an appraisal of the property and confirmation the buyer will have whatever cash is needed for the closing. For a comparatively small fee — usually about $50 — lenders will work through the steps necessary to receive a mortgage. Buy-

ers who get pre-approved know exactly which financial guidelines they are working within. The preapproved buyer has the lender’s approval for a specific mortgage amount. Lenders and real estate agents sometimes say pre-approval is the “same as cash,” which can often be an advantage in beating out other buyers. Searching for the right home, arranging a comfortable mortgage and closing the deal can be a challenging process. So doing a little legwork up front by becoming pre-approved can make the other challenges a whole lot easier. Brian Burstein is an area sales manager with Fifth Third Bank Mortgage. He welcomes the opportunity to take your comments and questions. Please feel free to contact him at 614-932-5473 or Brian.Burstein@53.com.

Track & Field

Davidson captures district championships By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With the Hilliard Davidson High School girls track and field team holding a one-point lead heading into the final event of the Division I, district 4 meet, coach Matt Beatty reminded Danielle Trisel, Abbey McNaughton, Carrie Stamm and Lizzy Litzinger that they didn’t have to win the 1,600meter relay. However, they did have to beat Pickerington North’s relay for the Wildcats to win the title in the 13-team

meet May 21 at Hamilton Township — and that’s what happened. The 1,600 relay finished fifth in 4 minutes, 14.63 seconds, ahead of sixthplace North (4:15.16) to help Davidson win its second district championship in three years. The Wildcats finished with 110 points to 108 for second-place North. “It came down to the 1,600 relay as all good meets should and that has not been a go-to race for us this year, but we ran six seconds faster than we have all year to hold off Pickerington North,” Beatty said.

“It was ironic because nobody really cheered when the first four teams crossed the finish line, because everyone knew that it was our two relays that were going to decide the meet. And when we crossed the finish line, it was the loudest applause of the entire meet.” North held a 100-88 lead over Davidson with two events remaining. Jessica Hoover (11:17.43) and Caroline Hildebrand (11:25.86) then finished first and second in the 3,200 to give the Wildcats a 106-105 advantage.

Hoover also won the 1,600 (5:05.84) and anchored Davidson’s 3,200 relay of Lauren Hoover, Elsa Saelens and Hildebrand to a first-place finish (9:33.21). Hildebrand finished fourth in the 1,600 (5:15.48). “Lauren and Caroline made the sacrifice of running all of those events for our team and they really came through for us,” Beatty said. “We’ve been slowed by illnesses and injuries this season, so it was nice to see us pull it all together when it mattered most.”

The top four finishers in each district event advanced to the regional, which began on May 25 and will conclude Friday, May 27, at Pickerington North. The top four finishers in each regional event advance to state June 3-4 at Ohio State. The Davidson boys team scored 109 points to win the 15-team Division I, district 2 meet at Bradley ahead of runner-up Watkins Memorial (70), its first district championship. See TRACK, page D2

Panthers, Wildcats advance to state By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Eric George/ThisWeek

Mason Print cheers as Darby finishes its 25-17, 25-9, 25-14 win over Worthington Kilbourne in a regional semifinal May 18. The Panthers beat Gahanna 25-17, 25-18, 21-25, 25-18 on May 21 to advance to the state tournament.

Kyle Kuebler of the Hilliard Darby High School boys volleyball team understands the benefits of being patient and observant. Kuebler and his fellow seniors watched last season as the Panthers, behind a lineup comprised of 2010 graduates, reached a semifinal of the Division I state tournament. Now, it’s their turn. “Even though most of us weren’t starting last year, we were preparing for this,” Kuebler said. “Even this year, we’ve got a bunch of sophomores coming up and they’re going to be the leaders next season.” The Panthers, the top seed in the East Region, have been among the teams to beat in central Ohio with six consecutive appearances in the state tournament. Their quest for a state title continues against Cleveland St. Ignatius in a quarterfinal at 5 p.m. Saturday, May 28, at Pickerington North. The winner advances to a state semifinal at 12:45 p.m. Sunday, May 29, against Cincinnati Moeller or Beavercreek. The state final is 6 p.m. Sunday, May 29. “It’s a really been a solid group,” said coach Bryan Webb, whose team is 23-3 overall. “They had a really good class of seniors ahead of them last year and now they’re doing their thing.” Moeller defeated the Panthers 25-18, 25-23, 28-26 on April 30 in the Centerville Elite tournament. “We had substantial leads on them in two of those games,” Webb said. “I know our guys didn’t play their best and we’re looking forward to possibly facing them again. Fortunately for us, the tournament is in (Pickerington) this year and we know it’s going to be a great environment.” Darby needed four games to defeat fourthseeded Gahanna 25-17, 25-18, 21-25, 25-18 in an East Region title match on May 21.

First senior class established pattern for Jaguars to follow By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hilliard Bradley High School softball team didn’t reach its top goals of winning a district championship and league title, but the Jaguars came about as close as they could to achieving them. Bradley was a Division II district runner-up after losing to DeSales 2-0 in a final on May 20 at Pickerington Central to finish 19-4 overall. “The first class of seniors at Bradley has certainly set the bar for others to shoot for, that’s for sure,” said coach Kevin Moody, whose team won the

When you have a new program, you want to win right away to set the tone because you need the winning mentality to exist every season. “The longer it takes to have winning seasons, win league championships and compete for district championships, the more difficult it becomes to turn around the mentality.” The third-seeded Jaguars definite-

ly were in contention for a district title. Top-seeded DeSales had two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning when a misplayed ball in the outfield gave them an extra at-bat. That’s when Amanda Herron hit an opposite-field home run to right-center off Kellie Roudabush to account for the game’s lone runs. “We played a great game defensively, made a ton of plays,” Moody said. “The one we didn’t make gave them an extra out and they took adBy Tim Revell/ThisWeek vantage of it.

Bradley showed progression By SCOTT HENNEN

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Matt Gilkerson was happy that his Hilliard Bradley High School baseball team had gone a step further in the postseason, but disappointed by the outcome. The Jaguars lost to secondseeded Jonathan Alder 7-3 on May 21 in a Division II district final at Grove City. A year ago, Bradley lost 12-2 in six innings in a district semifinal against Jonathan Alder, which went on to win a state title. “We started slow (trailing 50 after two innings), but we settled down and played pretty well after that,” said Gilkerson, whose team finished 13-16 overall. “The kids kept battling all of the way through.” Graham Johnston pitched a two-hitter for Jonathan Alder, striking out 11 with four walks. Tanner Young had a pinch-hit single in the fifth for Bradley’s first hit, and Tyler Armstrong had an RBI single in the sixth. Bradley finished 6-8 in the OCC-Capital Division to tie Big Walnut for sixth behind champion New Albany (11-3), Mount Vernon (10-4), Olentangy Orange (9-5) and Delaware and Watkins Memorial (both 7-7). Franklin Heights (0-14) was last. A high point for the Jaguars was defeating top-seeded Olentangy 4-1 on May 19 in a district semifinal at Worthington Kilbourne. Conor Driscoll threw a one-hitter with three strikeouts and no walks, although the

They set the standard for other kids to live up to in the coming years.” Starters expected to return include juniors Armstrong (OF), Driscoll, Spencer Gates (C), Dray Hall (1B), Zak Lucente (OF) and Trey Welch (OF), as well as sophomores Everman, Jacob Miller (DH/OF), Matt Reynolds (INF) and Young (DH). Also expected back are juniors Connor Heanszel (INF/OF), Chad Reep (OF) and Dalton Warner (OF) and sophomores Reily Butz (INF/OF), Austin Hatcher (INF/OF) and Ryan Johnson (INF/OF). “We definitely have some big shoes to fill with Luke at shortstop and Evan played second, third and the outfield for us,” Gilkerson said.

“We made it one game further than we did last year and that gives us more confidence going into next year. It will make us a better team.” The Jaguars had two seniors in infielder/outfielder Evan Parris and shortstop/pitcher Luke Simeon. “Evan and Luke have been great leaders,” said Gilkerson, the only coach in the program’s shennen@thisweeknews.com two seasons. “To have two great www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Blackstone had tough district draw By PAUL BATTERSON

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The return shots of Thomas Worthington’s Casey Cempre left senior Kevin Blackstone of the Hilliard Davidson High School boys tennis team little margin for error. Cempre, a Division I state quarterfinalist last season, defeated Blackstone 6-2, 6-2 in the first round of the Division I district tournament May 20 at Davidson. Cempre went on to win the district title to advance to state Friday and Saturday, May 27-28, at Davidson. “I felt like I played really well, but he was just a little more consistent than I was,” said Blackstone, the Wildcats’ lone district qualifier. “He hits really flat shots that are low with a lot of speed. It takes a lot of time to anticipate where they’re going to go.” “He was going against a great, talented opponent in Casey Cempre,” coach Shawn Walton said. “We knew we had to have every-

thing clicking and do all the right things to get past him.” Despite the early exit from district, Blackstone said advancing there for the first time was the high point of his season. Blackstone, who placed fourth in the Davidson sectional May 12 and 14, finished the year at 7-7 overall. “Throughout this whole (postseason) I have been really consistent and I was able to keep the ball back,” Blackstone said. “The thing I am most proud of is he didn’t give up,” Walton added. “It’s easy to kind of fold it in and let it happen when

you’re playing someone like (Cempre). He kept fighting and trying to do the right thing until the last point. I respect him for doing that.” Walton said the never-quit attitude permeated his team. He listed the team’s 3-2 victories over Worthington Kilbourne on April 14 and Pickerington North on May 10 as the highlight wins of the season. “We don’t look at who we are going against, but we try to do our individual things right,” Walton said. “I felt like against Kilbourne and Pickerington North each person put their things they were working on together and were able to perform at a high level.” Davidson finished 7-9 overall and fourth (4-3 in dual matches, 41 points) in the OCC-Central Division behind Upper Arlington (7-0, 82), Thomas (6-1, 60) and Dublin Coffman (5-2, 59) and ahead of Kilbourne (34, 40), Darby (2-5, 27), Westland (1-6, 10) and Central Crossing (0-7, 1).

Blackstone was one of three seniors the Wildcats will lose, joining Zach Page and Greg Tiffan. Juniors Pat Holland and Spencer Walter and sophomores Joe Justus and Michael Porter are expected to return. “(Blackstone, Page and Tiffan) made a mark in some leadership roles and kept things going in practice and made things fun, too,” Walton said. “I appreciate the support they have put into working hard and being the leaders of the team.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

“I told the kids that they had the chance to make history and they did it,” coach Jim Smith said. “We qualified to the finals in every event for the first time in our history, and we got points from everywhere. Phillipie Motley scored 40 points and that’s a heck of an accomplishment for a freshman.” Motley won the 100 (11.23) and 200 (22.56), anchored the first-place 400 relay (43.01) and was the lead leg of the firstplace 1,600 relay (3:24.65). “There were a lot of fast guys here, so I worked hard on my starts and pushed it,” Motley said. “I got out in front (in the 100) and held them off. This was a lot of fun.” Junior Jack Kincade helped score 28 points, placing second in the 400 (49.83), running the anchor leg of the 1,600 relay, running the third leg of the second-place 3,200 relay (8:08.94) and finishing seventh in the pole vault (12 feet). “This is huge,” Kincade said. “All of my times, including my splits, were personal records. I was just shooting for some points in the pole vault. That was hard to do all those events, but I did it to help my team out and it was worth it.” •The Darby boys scored 57 points to place sixth in the Division I, district 2 meet. Sophomore Caleb Day led Darby by winning the 110 hurdles (15.23), placing second in the 300 hurdles (39.57) and finishing fourth in the long jump (21-6 1/4). Day said he was inspired by his father, Alex, who taught him how to run hurdles. “This is, by far, the best year I’ve had in track,” Day said. “My coach (Mark Tremayne) told me to lead our team in the 300 hurdles, so I did my best for my team. My dad coached me up, and I want to make it to state for him. “He would have made it to state his senior year in the 110 hurdles, but he false-started, so I’m going to do my best to get there for him.” Darby’s girls team placed fourth (77) in the Division I, district 4 meet. •The Bradley girls scored 84 points to place third in the 12team Division I, district 2 meet behind Pickerington Central (126) and Watkins Memorial (107). Emily Lebsock won the 200 (26.13) to qualify for state in an individual event for the first time. “I knew I had the potential to do well, but I wasn’t really sure I would get to (the regional meet) in an open race,” Lebsock said. “I feel really blessed to be able to do this because I’ve had sprained ankles most of my high school career, and I’ve finally been healthy the past few years.” Kate Johnston, Lebsock, Kayla Malik and Sydney Rings won the 400 relay (49.42), and Malik won the 100 (12.36). “How we’re doing is a nice

surprise overall,” Rings said. “Our time (in the 400 relay) was a nice surprise. It was one of the best times that we’ve run and our goal is to beat that time again at regional.” Bradley’s boys team scored 99.33 points to place second of 14 squads in the Division I, district 3 meet at home, behind champion Dublin Coffman (116.5). ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Bradley boys beat Eagles in tourney opener By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Already guaranteed its first winning season, the Hilliard Bradley High School boys lacrosse team took another step by winning its first postseason game. The Jaguars improved to 107 overall with a 10-5 victory over Watterson on May 20 in the first round of the Division II Central regional tournament. “We have accomplished a lot this season and we wanted to make sure we also won our first tournament game,” coach Dom Marzano said. “The kids really came out ready to play, taking a 7-0 lead into halftime. They were not going to be denied.” The Jaguars faced a tall order when they played second-ranked Dublin Jerome on May 25. The Celtics were 15-1 after beating Wellington 19-4 on May 20. “We have to take advantage of any opportunity to score. We can’t miss any open looks,” said

Marzano, whose team has not played the Celtics this season. “But we also have to go out and play to win instead of playing not to lose. “We will have to control the tempo the best we can and we can’t have any unforced errors. We can’t throw the ball away.” The winner will be the host team in a regional final on Saturday, May 28, against New Albany or DeSales. The Jaguars lost to DeSales 13-4 on April 1 and lost to New Albany 6-5 on May 4. Nick Petikas had four goals for Bradley against Watterson and Cameron Elavsky scored twice. Alex Gossard, Tyler Hay, Jalen Jackson and Nick Sparks all had one goal apiece. The state semifinals are Wednesday, June 1, and the state final is June 4. •The Davidson boys were 108 overall before playing Cincinnati St. Xavier on May 25 in a Division I Southwest/Central re-

The Wildcats lost to Mason 10-5 on March 25, but they did not play Moeller this season. The state semifinals are Wednesday, June 1, and the state final is June 4.

Joseph, Nicky Tholt, Casey Topp and Cody Topp scored once. Adam Lewis had 20 saves. “Adam Lewis had 20 saves and it was such a low-scoring game that it made a big difference,” coach Jason Godwin said. “We tried to take advantage of mismatches and penalties and we played solid on both sides of the ball. We knew our defense would have to play big to win the game and they did.” •The Darby boys finished 6-

10 overall after losing 8-4 to West Chester Lakota West on May 19 in a play-in game of the Southwest/Central regional tournament. The Panthers finished fourth (2-3) in the OCC-Ohio Division behind Liberty (5-0), Olentangy (5-1) and New Albany (4-2) and ahead of Bradley (24) and Orange and Gahanna (15). Darby and Liberty will not make up their final league game. After starting the season 27, Darby won four consecutive games then lost its final three. “Having another year together has helped and the guys are trying to understand our philosophy as coaches, and they are buying into what we do as a team and a program,” said Rob Schmeling, who completed his second season leading the program. “A lot of that has to do with their added varsity experience, which has made a big difference.” Junior attacker Toren Moore,

who was first-team all-league, led the team with 63 points and senior attacker Alex Ghilani had 39 points. Junior attacker Spencer Kocher had 30 points and senior midfielder Jacob Hooker had 24 points. Junior midfielder Kirby Dearth had 10 goals and five assists. Bradley’s 10-member senior class also includes Ryan Belcher (midfield), Nick Belli (defense), Don Bennett (midfield), Sam Fisher (attack), Harrison Kitts (defense), Nassim Louail (defense), Scott Mitchell (midfield) and Gabe Quinones (midfield). “We asked a lot of these seniors,” Schmeling said. “When I joined the program last year, we reinvented a lot of things and asked these guys to start over. “In order for us to move forward, they had to embrace a new culture in a short amount of time.

“All I know is they gave us the runner-up trophy during the awards ceremony and no one has asked us to give it back yet. As of right now, we still finished as runner-up in the district.” — Grandview track and field coach Brian Schoch.

“We had gotten (Herron) to chase by pitching away from her in her previous at-bats. So even though first base was open, we thought we could get her. Talking with our pitching coach, it was a good pitch. (Herron) just made an adjustment and went out and got it. We thought we could get her and she got us.” Moody also credited DeSales for making a defensive alignment that kept the game scoreless in the top of the sixth inning. The move kept Danielle Dunnagan’s grounder from being a run-scoring single. The Jaguars had a first-round bye, beat visiting Mifflin 12-0 in five innings in the second round May 11 and rallied to beat Buckeye Valley 6-4 in a district semifinal May 19 at Pickerington North. Against Buckeye Valley, the Jaguars led 2-0 after one inning as sophomore Caron Watkinson hit two-run double to left field. But the Barons scored four runs on three hits, a walk and an error in the top of the second. Roudabush hit a solo home run to center field in the bottom of the second to make it 4-3. The Jaguars used an RBI single from senior Colleen O’Shea, an RBI double from Roudabush and a sacrifice fly from senior Jordan Camp to lead 6-4 in the fourth. O’Shea also made a game-ending catch that could’ve been an RBI double. Bradley’s 2010 season also ended against DeSales, as the Jaguars lost 3-1 in a district semifinal. Roudabush, Dunnagan (1B), Camp (CF) and O’Shea (RF) were joined by Tayler Young (P) in the senior class. Roudabush, who has signed to play for the University of Akron, shared pitching duties with Young for most of the season and played shortstop when not in the circle. She was firstteam all-state for a second consecutive season after being second-team all-state as a sophomore at Darby. She was 13-3 with a 1.95 ERA and batted .578 with 38 runs and 30 RBI. She also had 11 doubles and six home runs. Roudabush also was named OCC-Capital Player of the Year for the second season in a row,

with Camp (.435, 25 runs, 25 RBI) making second-team and O’Shea (16 runs) making honorable mention. “Kellie is a special, special player and the seniors as a group were willing to sacrifice with all our lineup changes for the good of the team,” Moody said. “They showed great leadership and each of them will be sorely missed.” Bradley was 11-3 in the league to finish behind Delaware (140) and ahead of Olentangy Orange (8-6), Big Walnut (7-7), Mount Vernon (7-7), New Albany (5-9) Watkins Memorial (311) Franklin Heights (1-13).

Watkinson batted .380 with 18 runs and 23 RBI. “We’ve got some talented players returning, but the first thing we’ve got to do is concentrate on pitching because we have zero varsity innings returning,” Moody said. “Because of that, we’ll really need to work on defense to make sure we don’t allow extra outs with our lack of (varsity) pitching experience.” bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Freshman Skyler Link (midfield) also played varsity. “We have some younger guys that may not have been in the scorebook, but have contributed a lot, “ Schmeling said. “We’re excited about them and the wave of freshmen joining program next year.” •The Davidson girls finished 6-8 overall, losing to Watterson 9-7 on May 16 in the opening round of the Division I South/Central regional tournament. “It was an interesting year, but I don’t think we achieved the goals that we set for ourselves and we clearly didn’t reach our potential,” said coach Rob Buroff, who completed his second season of his second stint coaching the program. “Some of that had to do with the weather, our schedule and the way things fell.

We had girls missing games because of band, choir, lifeguard orientation ... things like that. Outside interests helped us lose momentum. We lost one game to Olentangy Orange 12-11 (on May 5) and we played without four starters.” The Wildcats finished fourth (3-3) in the OCC-Ohio behind Olentangy (6-0) and both Liberty and Orange (3-2). Jerome and Bradley tied for fifth at 24 and Scioto (1-5) was last. Liberty and Orange will not make up their final league game.

Commentary

Senior trio hopes to fuel Hartley girls to team title This weekend’s high school regional track and field meets are the final step to reaching a major goal for many athletes in central Ohio, which is qualifying for the state meet June 3-4 in Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium at Ohio State. The thrill of running, jumping, vaulting or throwing in the final event of the prep sports year is worth every second of preparation for most competitors. For three seniors at Hartley, the state meet represents not only another chance to win individual titles, but to recapture the Division II team championship. Aisha Cavin and Maya Pedersen were members of the Hartley team that finished third in Division II when they were freshmen and the team that won the Division II state title a year later. Chelsea Scott joined Cavin and Pedersen last year and helped the Hawks finish second

to Cleveland Collinwood. Now, the girls are determined to make their last high school meet memorable. “I think the LARRY state champiLARSON onship meet is nerve-wracking for us because we are Hartley and know what is expected of us,” Pedersen said. “We are a legacy in high school girls track and always will be, so it’s our responsibility to our school to move our performances up a notch.” Scott agreed with her teammate. “This final meet is a chance to showcase our talents and show everyone that we are still on top, and running in this meet is really fun and exciting,” she said. Cavin, who won last year’s state title in the 400 meters, said,

“This meet is different for us because of what it means for our school and that makes it all the better.” Looking ahead to what they face at state, Scott said it won’t be easy for the Hawks to win the title. “We have to be better this year than we were a year ago,” she said. “There are some outstanding teams out there including our neighbor, Eastmoor, who will challenge us, so we have to keep honest and work hard.” Pedersen said she, Cavin and Scott must lead the way. “The three of us have to set the example all day for our underclassmen, who will have to produce for us to win the team title,” Pedersen said. “Our confidence has to remain high and we have to use our ability to the fullest.” Cavin had a different outlook

on her final high school competition. “I know it will be as exciting as ever and I wouldn’t change anything at all that happened over the past three years, but it will have a bit of sadness knowing this is the last time we will be together representing our school,” Cavin said. “So we need to make the most of it and I think we are ready for it, because other runners know who we are and it’s our job to get the best results.” Reflecting on their love for the sport and where it has taken them, the three Hawks standouts have slightly different views. “As a sprinter, track is really just about going out there and running as fast as you can and I love the thrill of it,” Calvin said. “There is a technical side and a mental side that are very important, but if you can keep your mind clear you can achieve

many things.” “Track has opened my eyes to so many things and it makes you have strength inside and out,” Pedersen said. “Success comes from proving yourself and developing discipline in every aspect of the sport. I love the fact that it becomes mind over matter.” “I love the fact that you are surrounded with friends who have the same goals that I do,” Scott said. “No one is slacking off and when times are rough you go through them together. That is what I will remember about this experience at Hartley.” Coach Richard Jones has been the architect for Hartley’s success. Pedersen said he deserves all the credit for what she and her teammates have achieved. “Coach Jones is Hartley. He has shaped every one of us into who we are as runners,” she said. “The mental attitude and the

confident mindset we have is all due to him. He has made me a better runner and, more important, a better person.” Describing what it will take to win the Division II state title next week, Cavin said the Hawks can’t let down. “The thing that comes into to my mind first is that we need to turn into superheroes at the state meet,” she said. “We need to be proud of the ‘H’ that we wear on our uniforms and use the power we have to run well and capture our dreams.” The Hartley trio of “superheroes” and their supporting cast have two weekends left to prove their point. I’ll see you at the state meet. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

Davidson coach Jay Cauley, whose team is 21-6 overall, remains confident his group won’t be overwhelmed at state. “There isn’t going to be any awe about who our opponent is going to be and that’s really because of the schedule we played this year,” he said. “Our guys know they can compete against these programs.” The Wildcats play Lakewood St. Edward in a state quarterfinal at 3:15 p.m. Saturday, May 28, at Pickerington North. The winner plays Centerville or Cincinnati St. Xavier in a semifinal at 11 a.m. Sunday, May 29.
