New Licking Heights superintendent
Wagner to focus on academic performance By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Philip H. Wagner was named the new superintendent of the Licking Heights Local School District at a special meeting July 24. He will start Aug. 1. He succeeds Thomas Tucker, who will become superintendent of Worthington City Schools in August after three years at Licking Heights.
Wagner earned $125,000 annually as assistant superintendent of Beachwood City Schools, overseeing the district’s curriculum, technology and human-resources departments. He will earn slightly less, $122,500, as superintendent of Licking Heights. “Salaries are based on the region and I think the board was fair to me based on how superintendent salaries are aligned in the area,” Wagner said. As part of his contract, Licking
Heights will pay the standard 14-percent contribution, as well as the 10 percent usually paid by the employee, to the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio. BePhilip H. cause of the arrangeWagner ment, the district will also pay STRS an additional 2.4 percent, which means 26.4 percent of the
$122,500 will be paid to STRS for retirement benefits. Wagner also will pay 25 percent of his health insurance, which is consistent with what other district employees pay. In the past, the district paid 100 percent of the superintendent’s medical benefits, but Wagner opted to forgo that benefit. Wagner said he would prioritize elevating the district’s academic performance.
“The board has been very clear that they want to make the district a top-tier rated district, and I think they found my background in Beachwood, Hudson and Solon to be attractive,” Wagner said. Enrollment at Beachwood, a suburb east of Cleveland, is about half the enrollment at Licking Heights, but the perpupil expenditures are significantly higher, both because of property values and See SUPERINTENDENT, page A2

Wards and boundaries commission concludes work Aug. 4 By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Pataskala wards and boundaries commission will complete its charter duty Aug. 4 at 7 p.m. in council chambers when it holds a final meeting to redraw Pataskala’s four wards based on population changes documented by the 2010 census. “The work is done and the boundaries are approved,” said commission chair Pete Nix. “We will provide a map and a detailed written description of the wards.” The main charge of the commission is to equalize the populations of each ward, so that representation on council reflects a balanced portion of the city’s total population. “The core of the wards is the same,” Nix said. “We were able to keep all the neighborhoods and developments in the same ward without splitting neighborhoods. The biggest change is we had to move a sizeable chunk of Ward 2 into other wards to keep them substantially equal. The second ward grew much faster than the other wards.” The difficulty is that achieving precise equality requires drawing complex boundaries that do not appear logical and break up neighborhoods. To alleviate the problem, the wards are drawn with some variation, so that small inequalities in population result in more coherent boundaries. Under the Pataskala city charter, city council is not required to act on the commission’s work, but Nix said the commission would make a presentation to council in August.

Conservation district levy to appear on Nov. 8 ballot County voters in November will decide a 0.1-mill operating levy request by the Licking County Soil and Water Conservation District. County commissioners passed a resolution July 28 to place the five-year levy on the Nov. 8 ballot. Conservation district officials anticipate the levy would generate about $370,000 per year. It would cost property owners $3.06 per year for every $100,000 of assessed valuation, according to the county auditor’s office. Officials say the levy is necessary to support the conservation district’s programs and services, which have been reduced because of See LEVY, page A2

Pataskala Mayor Steve Butcher on July 27 stains the walkway of the bridge connecting Pataskala Ridge to Mill Street. Volunteers recently completed five weeks of work on the bridge, which included painting and removal of graffiti on the walkway.
Volunteers complete bridge-painting work By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Mayor Steve Butcher and student volunteers from the Full Armor of God Baptist Church in Reynoldsburg recently completed five weeks of work on the bridge connecting Pataskala Ridge to Mill Street. The work included some incidental sidewalk work at the farmers market and several sessions of bridge painting to remove accumulated graffiti on the walkway. Pataskala Ridge residents Shawn and Tasha O’Neill said they use the bridge almost every day with their daughter, Riley, and son, Drew. “We probably use it once or twice a day in the summer, spring and fall,” Tasha O’Neill said. “We use it to access the school playground. We walk to McDonald’s sometimes for a treat.” Shawn O’Neill said the bridge was convenient to access the annual street fair.
Butcher said the walkway is used by many residents. “This trail is used a lot,” Butcher said. “I’ve been surprised how many people have been on the trail while we are doing this.” The work has made a difference, Tasha O’Neill said. “Our first impression was, wow, someone’s painting, it looks so nice,” she said. “It makes it look clean and fresh and cared for.” Volunteers from the church completed the work as part of an ongoing volunteer effort organized by the city. “Some of the kids are so young I thought it would create some issues,” Butcher said. “But the truth is, even if they go home a mess, it doesn’t make a difference whether you are 6 or 60 doing this. They only work an hour at a time, and we’ve had probably 16 at a time for five weeks. All the cost to the city is just the stain.”
Some graffiti was bad enough that a few adult volunteers went in first to remove the worst of it. “They were all covered in graffiti, with foul words and dirty drawings,” Butcher said. “The wood on the bridge was the same. Some of the adults came down and painted out some of the things so the kids would not be exposed to it.” Butcher said fighting graffiti is a constant battle. “The only way you can combat it is as soon as it happens you have to get in there and clean it up,” Butcher said. In past years, volunteer groups have painted city fire hydrants and performed other maintenance projects. Volunteers also maintain streams. “We use clubs like the Rotary to clean up logjams,” Butcher said. “We had two major logjams that required heavy bulldozers to clear them up. Now, as soon as we get a jam starting, we come in and clean it out.” www.ThisWeekNews.com
Licking County
Planning commission looking to fill two positions By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Licking County Planning Commission has announced its intention to hire a planning director and environmental director, with applications due Aug. 12. The positions currently are held by Jerry Brems and Jim Mickey, respectively, both of whom are retiring by September. “The planning commission is responsible for county subdivision regulations and coordinating the devel-

opment of comprehensive plans with townships,” said commission chair Chet Geiger. “Townships are responsible for zoning, but zoning is supposed to be done in conjunction with a comprehensive plan. Many times, one gets in front of the other. The commission is not responsible for developing plans, but they do go out and help them work on developing the plans.” County commissioner Tim Bubb said the planning director should be able to do long-term planning, rather than day-to-day details.
“They have to be both a good manager and a visionary,” Bubb said. “The key is to look long term. A shortterm issue, such as splitting a lot, is important when you are building a house, but when you look at roads you need to look at the next generation. “There was a day when Sawmill Road was a country road and state Route 256 was a path. Well, look at them today. If you make good decisions now on road access, where you put interchanges and how you plan, roads today that are barely used have
the potential 20 years from now of being the next Sawmill Road. Good decisions now will save us later from nightmares that cost a lot of money.” The planning director also participates in LCATS, the Licking County Area Transportation Study, the body responsible for prioritizing transportation funding in the county, Geiger said. “Transportation is an additional duty, but it’s an important role,” Geiger said.

POSITIONS SUPERINTENDENT Continued from page A1 Among the director’s duties are acting as the commission visionary, identifying planning issues and recommending plans of action to improve and enhance the quality of life for the residents of Licking County, according to the job posting. Focus areas include land-use concerns, community development, economic development and social issues. The county environmental planner’s duties include floodplain management; solid-waste management; wetlands review for proposed developments; environmental assessments for state and federal grant projects; mapping; and related duties. “A lot of it is flood-plain management,” Geiger said. “It can affect flood-plain insurance, for example.” Geiger said the planning commission hopes to fill the role promptly, but that it will not rush the process. “Obviously, we want a person in the position as soon as possible, but we want the right person, too,” Geiger said. Those interested in the positions should apply by Aug. 12 to the county human-resources department. Information is available at www.lcounty.com or from the human-resources department, 20 S.

Continued from page A1 because larger districts operate more cheaply on a per-pupil basis, Wagner said. “Any time you have a district as small as Beachwood, you have increased costs because of the economies of scale that come into play,” Wagner said. “For example, in Beachwood, you have to maintain a bus garage and in Licking Heights, you have to maintain a bus garage. But the perpupil expenditure is much higher in Beachwood because the district is about half the size. It’s about 1,590 kids. That thread runs through a lot of the finances, whether it’s the librarian or student advisers.” Among the primary duties Wagner has had at Beachwood is implementing the state-mandated flex-credit requirement that allows students to receive academic credit for non-district educational activities, so long as they meet academic standards. Wagner said he supports the idea, but does not expect it to be a significant portion of student academic credit. “That’s been a significant responsibility for me at Beachwood,” Wagner said. “We have had only a few requests, and I think that is similar around the state that, by and large, there have not been a lot of requests. “I think it is attractive for two reasons. One is that it is flexible, so it allows students to work outside of school days and on the weekends. Another one of the things is it is an opportunity to expand learning opportunities beyond what is offered in the district, which can be important in a small district that cannot offer everything. But the other aspect is educational quality, so when we provide a quality experience, they have less need to go outside the district.” Wagner, 46, said his wife, Maureen, will stay this year in northeast Ohio with their three children, who are in high school and middle school,
while he establishes a temporary residence and seeks permanent housing in the Pataskala area. “Everything has come together so quickly, we won’t move the family right away,” Wagner said. “The plan is that I’ll secure some transitional housing in the Pataskala area. The plan can change, but I’ll probably be spending my weekends in northeast Ohio. I’ll be looking in six months to a year to move my family to Pataskala. They’ve just started their sports, and while I have a general sense of Columbus, I don’t yet know the area like I need to.” Wagner said initially, he is going to take his cues from the board and the community, and he will respect what is already working at Licking Heights. “I think it takes a good three years to hit your stride, to understand the complete environment,” Wagner said. “You can see a cycle or two. You continue to grow after that, but three years is a consistent time. “The next step will be to work closely with the board and the staff. I want to step back and learn, see how things operate. Then we’ll have some goal-setting sessions, for growth, building and teaching and learning. I want to be able to honor what is working in Licking Heights.” Wagner spent seven years at Beachwood, where he served as assistant superintendent, director of pupil services, director of human resources and elementary school principal. Prior to that, he was director of pupil services at the Hudson City School District for seven years and a school psychologist at Solon City Schools for six years. He earned his doctorate in K-12 education leadership, as well as bachelor’s degrees in sociology and psychology and a master’s of education in school psychology, from Kent State University. www.ThisWeekNews.com
WARDS AND BOUNDARIES Continued from page A1 “We will present either Aug. 8 or Aug. 22,” Nix said. “We’ll try to have as many commission members at the meeting as possible.” The commission has done a lot of technical work, especially to translate census data into street address data, which members say is a cumbersome process. Because of historical practices of the census, stretching all the way back to the 18th century, census data does not track with modern street
addresses. As a result, commission members have to look at each census tract to determine if it has any structures or population. In some cases, census tracts are as small as driveways. The Aug. 4 meeting should be brief, Nix said, because the work is largely done. “I hope this meeting will be 15 or 20 minutes,” Nix said. “We’re just wrapping up, and one of the agenda items is to pass along whatever written advice we can to the commission that will do this in again 2021.” www.ThisWeekNews.com

NATIONWIDE COMPANY IN NEWARK THIS WEEK PAYING CASH FOR GOLD, SILVER AND COINS. By David Morgan STAFF WRITER Been following the gold and silver market lately? Well if you have a jewelry box, a lock box full of gold or a coffee can full of old coins, you should be, according to Ohio Valley Refinery spokesperson John Miller. “The gold and silver markets have not been this strong for over 30 years” said Miller. Typically when the U.S. dollar is weak and the economy is flat, gold and silver markets soar. “That’s good news if you are sitting on a few gold necklaces or an old class ring” says Miller. Starting Tuesday at 9am and every day this week through Saturday, the Ohio Valley Refinery is setting up a satellite refinery right here in Newark at the Courtyard by Marriott. During their 5 day stay, anyone can bring gold, silver or platinum items and turn them in for immediate payment, explains John Miller. “Just about everybody has some amount of gold or silver just lying around collecting dust and this week anybody can sell theirs direct to our refinery. Typically selling direct to a refinery is reserved for larger wholesale customers like jewelry stores, pawn shops and laboratories” says Miller. “We are changing how business is done,” he explains “we want to do business with everybody so we took our business to the streets”. “Our teams visit various cities around the country hosting 5 day events and allowing the general public to take advantage of our services. “The turnout has been overwhelming” says Miller. “Usually each day is busier than the previous day. It seems once people come to us and sell something, they are so amazed what an old ring or gold coin is worth, they go home and start digging around for more and

telling relatives, friends and neighbors. It’s like a feeding frenzy by the third day. People line up with everything from gold jewelry to sterling silver flatware sets to old coins. I think during this bad economy everybody can use extra money, but most people say they are taking advantage of selling direct to our refinery because of the higher prices we pay”. During this special event, anyone is welcome to bring all types of gold, silver and platinum to the refinery and turn it in for instant payment. The types of items they will accept include all gold jewelry, gold coins, gold ounces, dental gold, old coins made before 1965 including silver dollars, halves, quarters and dimes, anything marked “sterling” including flatware sets, tea pots, silver bars, silver ounces and all industrial precious metals. What should you expect if you go to the event to sell your gold and/or silver? Just gather up all gold, silver and platinum in any form. If you are not sure
SILVER AND GOLD COIN PRICES UP DURING POOR ECONOMY. Collectors and Enthusiasts in Newark with $200,000 to Purchase Yours! By Ken McIntosh STAFF WRITER Got Coin? It might be just the time to cash in. This week, starting Tuesday and continuing through Saturday, the International Collectors Association in conjunction with the Ohio Valley Gold & Silver Refinery will be purchasing all types of silver and gold coins direct from the public. All types are welcome and the event is free. Collectors will be on hand to identify and sort your coins. Then the quality or grade will be determined. The better the grade the more they are worth, according to collectors I talked to. With the silver and gold markets high, prices of older coins are too. Any coins minted before 1965 in the U.S. are 90% silver, except nickels and pennies. The coin’s worth is determined by the rarity and the grade. Old silver dollars are worth a great premium right now, even well worn heavily circulated ones are bringing good premiums. Franklin and Kennedy half dollars, Washington quarters, Mercury and Roosevelt dimes are all worth many times the face value. While older types like Seated Liberty, Standing Liberties, and Barber coins are worth even more. Gold coins are really worth a lot right now, according to Brian Eades of the International Collectors Association. “This country didn’t start minting coins until 1792” says Eades. He explained, “Before that, people would trade goods using gold dust and nuggets. Some shop keepers would take more gold than needed to pay for items purchased. There was no uniform system of making change.” The government opened the first mints and began distributing the coins in 1792. By the beginning of the 19th
ITEMS WE WILL ACCEPT INCLUDE: Scrap Jewelry Dental Gold Sterling Silverware Sterling Silver Tea Sets Silver Dollars All Pre-1965 Coins Industrial Scrap All Forms of Platinum century, coins and paper currency were wide spread and our monetary system was here to stay. In 1933 Roosevelt required all banking institutions to turn in all gold coins. Once all banks turned in this gold, the president raised the gold standard from $20.00 per ounce to $33.00 per ounce. This was his way of stimulating the economy during the great depression. However, gold coins were never redistributed after the recall. But not all gold coins were turned in. “Many folks during that time didn’t completely trust the government and chose to keep their gold” said Eades. These gold coins are sought after by collectors today and bring many times the face value. Any gold coins with the mint marks of CC, D or O will bring nice premiums. Collectors at the event will be glad to show you where to look. Other types of coins will also be purchased including foreign coins, Indian cents, two cent pieces, half dimes, three cent pieces and buffalo nickels to name a few. Collectors warn people against trying to clean their coins, as significant damage can be done and the coin’s value lessened.
if it’s gold or silver, bring it in and they will test it for free. When you arrive at the event you will be asked to fill out a simple registration card and will be issued a number. Seating will be available. When your number is called you will be escorted to a table where your items will be examined, tested and sorted. This only takes a few minutes, using their expertise and specialized equipment. Items will be counted and/or weighed. The value of the items will be determined based on up to the minute market prices. Live feeds will be available at the event displaying
current market prices of all precious metals. If you choose to sell your items, they will be bagged and tagged and you will be escorted to the cashier to collect your payment. Waiting time to sell your items may range from just a few minutes to 1 hour, so bring something to read. If you are the owner of a jewelry store, pawn shop, dentist office or a dealer you are encouraged to call ahead to make an appointment with the smelt master to discuss their special dealer programs. They can be reached during Refinery hours at (217) 787-7767. Ohio Valley Refinery will open for business Tuesday from 9am–6pm. The event continues every day through Saturday. No appointment is needed for the general public.

International buyers in town this week and ready to stimulate economy!

The team of buyers this week are purchasing a vast array of vintage items, along with the coins, gold jewelry and sterling silver items the refinery deals in.

Winning streak propels Settlers into playoffs By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A late-season, six-game winning streak has propelled the Licking County Settlers into the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League playoffs. The Settlers clinched a playoff berth on July 28 by rallying to score five runs on six hits in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat Lake Erie 9-8 at Don Edwards Park. Pinch-hitter Justin Vaske put down a bases-loaded suicide squeeze with one out in the ninth to score Drew Pear-
son with the winning run, setting off a dog-pile celebration behind the plate. “We’re excited to clinch a playoff spot, but that celebration was a moreof-the-moment type of thing,” firstyear coach Devin McIntosh said. “We were down 8-3 in the eighth and 8-4 in the ninth, so it’s a big hole to climb from. It’s not too often you come back from that type of hole. It was our second time doing that this season and that’s a testament to our mindset and our battle-to-the-very-end mentality.” Licking County improved to 22-18 and finished second in the North Di-
vision behind Lima, which was 25-14. Lake Erie fell to 19-22 and was eliminated from the playoffs. The Settlers, who played Lake Erie again on July 29, will conclude the regular season on Sunday, July 31, when they play host to Grand Lake. Licking County will open the postseason Tuesday, Aug. 2, against Hamilton, Xenia or Cincinnati at Don Edwards Park. The winner advances to play Lima in the best-of-3 semifinal round, which begins Wednesday, Aug. 3. Hamilton, Xenia and Cincinnati have clinched playoff berths. Each was bat-
tling for second in the South Division behind champion Southern Ohio. The two that finish third and fourth will be the wild-card teams. “We’re not going to rest anybody because we’re on a roll right now and because Monday will be a rest day before the playoffs,” McIntosh said. “We just need to keep playing the way we have lately.” The winning streak saved the Settlers, as it followed a 4-9 stretch. “There are two main reasons for the turnaround,” McIntosh said. “First, our starting pitching has kept us in
the game and kept us from playing from behind. Secondly, I feel the guys are coming to the park and playing until the final pitch with the mentality of expecting to win. “It’s not as though our starting pitchers pitched that poorly during our rough stretch, but we were falling behind early and that put so much pressure on our offense. There’s also a difference between playing to win and expecting to win. We’ve remained confident, regardless of the score and inning.” See SETTLERS, page A7
Commentary
Respect essential to prep athletes Bad news often takes precedence over good news when it comes to stories about athletes. Most athletes perform well at their jobs and conduct their lives in a respectful way, but poor decisions often lead to headlines. This week, the high school stuLARRY dent-athletes LARSON writing in my summer series discuss how they view two elements of the positive side of sports — sportsmanship and respect. Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I always try to be as positive as possible and I always remember that I do this sport because I love it and not as if it is my job.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “I view respect and sportsmanship as a bigger part of the game than talent. You don’t have to be a friend with everyone, but it is important to get along with everyone.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Respect and good sportsmanship are necessities come game time. Whether it was something in your day that upset you or things just aren’t going the way you want them to, no one likes to feel disrespected. Sometimes it’s going to be about someone else’s day, so smile and congratulate them as they would congratulate you.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “Respect in competition is vital. When you are big enough to respect your opponents, you respect yourself and your teammates that much more.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Respect and sportsmanship are always very valued traits to have as an athlete. In order to respect the game, you must respect your competitors in that game.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “I will make it real simple — respect all, fear none.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “In high school games, you have to remember that the guys out there on the field from the other team are just like you. Many of us get to be friends over the years. It is important to represent your school and community well on and off the field.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “Respect and sportsmanship in competition are very important. I will be the first to say that emotions, sometimes, do get the best of me during games. The important thing is to keep in mind that it is a game and it is nothing to compromise your morals over.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “It is never

Greg Avery (5) of Newark begins to celebrate in the final seconds of the Wildcats’ 65-52 victory over Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game on March 15, 2008. Avery dominated the game, scoring 33 points and adding 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead Newark.
Top Individual Performances: No. 3
Avery led Newark to state title By JARROD ULREY
Counting down to No. 1
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Greg Avery of the Newark High School boys basketball team couldn’t have been more excited for the spotlight of the Division I state championship game March 15, 2008, against Lakewood St. Edward. Even now, though, he cringes at how his game started — with a pair of what he considered bad shots, the first of which resulted in a missed layup. But little else went wrong that night for Avery. The 6-foot-3 senior tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory and their first state championship since 1943 before a crowd of 12,465 at Ohio State’s Value City Arena. “My first two shots were two of the dumbest shots,” Avery said. “I wanted to get rolling, and after that I was just in the zone.” Avery made seven consecutive shots after missing his first attempt, including back-to-back baskets to open the second quar-
ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 4-10. Check back next week for No. 2 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
NOS. 4-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries.
ter. He hit a jumper nine seconds into the period to make it 21-14 and made his only 3-point attempt with 6 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the quarter to give the Wildcats a 24-14 lead. After Newark took a 14-point lead midway through the second period, St. Edward rallied to within six before Avery hit a jumper
9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 5135 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more
surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington
with 7 seconds left in the first half to make it 33-25. “I really noticed (how well he was playing) the next week watching the game and seeing some of the shots he made,” Newark coach Jeff Quackenbush said. “We ran a play for him at the end of the (first) half and he made this fade-away (jumper)
from about 17 feet. You know he’s scoring and doing well, but I guess he was just in that zone and we felt really good about the shots he was taking. “He had a huge steal at the end of the third quarter and just played well the entire game. His whole game, just everything he did, he really competed well that night.”
football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 15-9 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. 4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 41 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd.
The other starters for the Wildcats — post player Dane Kopp, forward Will McCoy and guards Cody Dennison and Rahlin Watson — each played contributing roles in what became Newark’s fourth state championship. Although McCoy scored just four See AVERY, page A7

Teams getting ready for start of practice By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The wait is nearly over for high school football players and coaches. It started with the sometimes monotonous days of weight-room work, which began for many the moment last season ended. The past few weeks have included activities such as team camps and 7-on-7 passing tournaments, with a few glimpses of the playbook thrown in. Beginning Monday, Aug. 1, it finally See LARSON, page A7 will start to feel like football again.
For Grove City coach Matt Jordan, that first day of official coaching allowed by the OHSAA provides an enjoyable opportunity to see his players bond. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s a chance for relationships between some players and coaches to get a fresh start. “You no longer get any excuses from anybody,” Jordan said, laughing. “Seriously, it’s fun to finally get to put the pads on. You’ve been in the weight room since December, so it’s fun watching everyone run around in helmets. You know it’s football season, and there’s this wonderful excitement in the air.
There’s something about that adrenaline that comes.” According to the OHSAA, the dates teams are allowed to scrimmage this year are Aug. 9-20. Although games can be played as early as Aug. 22, most teams start their season Aug. 26 or 27. Many teams in central Ohio won’t have their first scrimmage until Aug. 12, which means they have 11 days to put plays in motion before their first contact against another team. Putting in drills over the first couple days of practice can be an important exercise in setting the pace for the coming
months as well as in preparing for scrimmages. “You try to establish everyday types of drills and try to mix them up,” Jordan said. “We do certain things day one, certain things day two and get a rotation going. You’re always evaluating talent and you definitely want to laterally be going forward to see who looks good. “In football, you already have a pretty good idea who your guys are Aug. 1, so you’re also looking at team cohesiveness.

Continued from page A6 are ready to step up? You start initially with your base offense and base defense in the early days and then do repeat and review to make sure you haven’t moved too fast. When you get to pads, it all changes.” Teams from the City League sometimes have obstacles, particularly early on, because many of the players who come out for football as freshmen are competing in the sport on a team for the first time. For those taking over a program for the first time such as Brookhaven’s Trevor White, that factor as well as figuring out how to install a new system can make for some complicated moments of preparation even before the first day of official coaching. “Especially with a new program, a big thing early on is setting the tone,” White said. “You want to be getting everybody on the same page, and what we’ve been debating is how much of the offense and defense do we put in. Do we just throw it at them or do we take it step by step? “We’ll have some kids that played (youth) football but some
Below is a look at the Licking Heights and Watkins Memorial football teams entering Monday, Aug. 1’s first day of official coaching: LICKING HEIGHTS •Coach: Darren Waters, seventh season •2010 record: 7-3 overall, 5-2 (second) in MSL-Cardinal •Last playoff appearance: 2007, lost in Division IV regional semifinal •Opener: Aug. 26 at Watkins Memorial •Top expected returnees: David Cooper (QB/DB), Taylor Curtiss (WR), Ronnie Dawson (RB/LB), A.J.

who have never played the sport before. You’ve always got to walk a line of bringing kids along but not holding the veterans back, and especially with a new program, it’s important that you’re really getting to know the team. I’m really excited to learn who my team is.” One of the key aspects of the first days of official coaching, according to Olentangy Liberty coach Steve Hale, is getting players’ technical reactions back on track. “You’re working a lot on technique, stance and starts, quick-

I think it’s just a matter of being organized and knowing what schemes we have. “Obviously everybody gets a brand new start. There’s an excitement and an anticipation that you’ll have a great season.

SETTLERS situational hitting.” Peyton Hart was hitting .298. Tyler Wynn (.252) shared the league lead with 14 doubles and also had 20 RBI. Kody Krizman (.310, 9-for-29) did not have enough at-bats to be considered among the leaders but has produced. “Kody Krizman is a late-season pickup who has really given us some flexibility in our lineup,” McIntosh said. “He’s a left-handed bat who can play first base or be our DH.” Tyler Vaske (5-1, 1.64 ERA) and Brent Choban (4-1, 3.64) led Licking County starters, with Grant Porter (2-2, 2.29) and Brock Trimbur (3-3, 3.68) following. Andrew Austin (0-0, 0.71, 3 saves), Spencer Radabaugh (0-1, 1.82, 2 saves), Corey Schultz (2-2, 2.57, 1 save) and Charlie Suich (01, 2.96, 1 save) are the top relievers. “Our bullpen has been strong all summer and it’s been especially strong in the good stretch we’ve been in lately,” McIntosh said. “We’re in a good place mentally with everything. Now we’ve got to keep playing a good, confident, fundamental brand of baseball and see where that takes us in terms of the postseason.”

The winning streak began July 21 against Stark County (7-1) and continued against Lima (11-2 on July 22 and 5-2 on July 23), Grand Lake (124 on July 26), Stark County (8-3 on July 27) and Lake Erie. Wes Meadows was named league Player of the Week after hitting .524 from July 18-24. He didn’t play in the playoff-clinching win because he injured his shoulder sliding into third base against Stark County on July 27, but McIntosh expected him to be healthy for the playoffs. Through 40 games, Meadows shared the league lead in batting average (.370) and was among the top five in RBI (26), doubles (11) and home runs (5). Also among the league’s top 15 in batting average were David Schwabe (.329), Alex Johnson (.325) and Nick Schulz (.322). Johnson had 23 RBI and 11 doubles and Schulz had 19 RBI. “Schwabe and Schulz occupy the first two spots in the order and both are having great summers,” McIntosh said. “Schwabe has been more than a table-setter for us of late. He’s producing some key RBI at the top of the order. Schulz is bemerine@thisweeknews.com a complete hitter and does a tremendous job of www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Continued from page A6 points, he was one of the primary reasons St. Edward’s Tom Pritchard — an Indiana University recruit — was held to nine points on 3-for-7 shooting. The Wildcats never led by fewer than five points in the second half and stretched the lead to as many as 16 in the final period. Watson, who plays for Capital University, scored 10 points. Dennison scored eight and Kopp added seven as the Wildcats finished with a 24-4 record. Avery said the standout performance of the team’s defense made it difficult for St. Edward — and Pritchard in particular — to take good shots. Dennison, who played two seasons for Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and will play for Tiffin University this season, remembers talking with Avery when both were in elementary school about one day making it to the state tournament. “He pretty much did everything for us that night,” Dennison said. “We’d had the mindset to be in that situation since we were in fifth grade, and in my junior year and Greg’s senior year, we finally reached that goal. That will to win got us over the hump. “I personally tried to give him the ball all the time, and everybody fed off of him. We were all clicking. Everything he was shooting was going in.” Avery remembers fondly the scene when he and his teammates returned to Newark that night and
the celebrations that followed over the coming days. It was a fitting end to a prep career in which Avery scored 1,131 points. He made third-team all-state and first-team all-district his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Avery became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 career points. “I remember driving home and the fans were waiting for us when we got back to our gym,” Avery said. “We had a ceremony and had a day named after us, ‘Newark State Championship Day.’ There was a lot of support from Newark.” Shortly after the state championship, Avery signed to play collegiately for Western Carolina. He averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 30 games, including four starts, during the 2008-09 season. After the season, he decided to transfer to the University of Findlay, a Division II school, because of the coming birth of his daughter. During the 2009-10 season for the Oilers, Avery averaged 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 27 games, including five starts. Despite having what he deemed a successful transition early on to Findlay’s program, longtime coach Ron Niekamp, who retired earlier this year after 26 seasons, told Avery after the season that he “didn’t really fit the system,” Avery said. In search of a place to play, Avery was considering Valdosta State, a Division II school in Valdosta, Ga., when on July 26, 2010,

he and two other men were accused of assaulting a man in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “They tried to hit me with a felony, but I didn’t do anything,” Avery said. “It set me back two more steps.” Avery now is a student at the Newark branch of Ohio State and working for Dennison’s father, Joe, but is hoping to play competitive basketball again soon. He is considering playing on the Division III or NAIA level, or could join a semi-pro team. Regardless of some of the ups and downs that have occurred for Avery the past three-plus years, he knows the memory of what he helped accomplish with his high school team lives on. “It’s still unbelievable,” Avery said. “I still talk to guys who played on that team regularly, and for that game I think we all just did everything to get us that ring. We didn’t let distractions get in our way. I felt like when I was starting to get hot that we were going to win the game.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
