Licking Heights
$5M in construction contracts approved By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Licking Heights school board held a special meeting at 6 a.m. Aug. 5 to approve $5.1 million in contracts for construction at West Elementary School. The work will expand the capacity of the building from approximately 475 students to approximately 675 students, in addition to providing space for special-education services.
Among the contracts approved were $3.4 million to the Altman Co. for general construction; $732,000 to Aggressive Mechanical for plumbing and HVAC; $517,000 to Vaughn Industries for electrical services; $57,000 to Dalmatian Fire for fire protection; $357,000 to Settle Muter Electric for communications and technology; and $30,000 to Fanning/Howey Associates for consulting and design work. Board president Matt Satterwhite
said the early meeting was to allow all the board members to attend and to make sure the contracts for West could be completed in time to allow construction this month. Building and grounds supervisor Allen Rogers said the work is beginning this month, with a projected completion date in one year. “We want to be open for the start of school in 2012-2013 school year,” Rogers said.
Project manager Stephen Dzuranin Jr. said the amount of the contracts approved Aug. 5, along with about $60,000 in preliminary work already approved to move utilities at the site, is significantly less than the original estimates. “We are $1 million under the (original) goal,” Dzuranin said. “It’s the market right now. We did get a lot of competition. Contracts and prices are starting to creep up a little bit, but it is still
very competitive out there and contractors are hungry and pursuing work aggressively, and that is reflected in bid numbers.” The building will not change significantly in appearance. “From an aesthetic standpoint, we’re not doing anything different than the current building,” Dzuranin said. “We’re using the same materials on the exteSee LICKING HEIGHTS, page A2

Trustees OK ditch petition to stop flooding By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Pataskala police re-establish bicycle patrol By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers They have been collecting mothballs for a few years, but two heavy-duty bicycles owned by the city are about to be put back into service by the Pataskala Division of Police. “Due to the low staffing we’ve had, it was just one of the things we could not afford to do,” said Chief Bruce Brooks. “Back at the time (before passage of the city income tax), we were as low as two officers on the street (during a single shift). It’s just not feasible when you have a city of 40 square miles, to have one of them on a bicycle, if he needs to give backup to another officer. It just wasn’t safe.” But bicycle patrols are popular with law enforcement in Ohio, with the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy providing annual certification of bike patrol officers.

In a last-ditch effort, Etna Township trustees voted 3-0 to begin a county petition process Aug. 2 to alleviate flooding so severe that a York Road family was forced to leave their home for three months when a stagnant pond flooded the house and overwhelmed utility services. The trustees approved a $500 expenditure to begin a ditch petition process, under which the county would construct a ditch and drainage system to alleviate the flooding. Homeowners whose properties drain into the area would then be assessed for the cost of the project. Sara Bobst, of 8839 York Road, said the West Licking Fire Department told her family to leave the home immediately because flooded air-conditioning and electrical service posed a danger. Bobst said the problem has been ongoing for years, but her family was not aware of it when they purchased the property. “My husband and I purchased our home in good faith about a year-anda-half ago,” Bobst said. “Through no fault of our own, I’ve learned this year there has been an ongoing drainage problem. This spring, the water covered our entire backyard and up to our house and into our house, forcing us to leave for (three) months.” Trustee John Carlisle said he had spoken with several county and state authorities about the problem. “This is a terrible issue,” Carlisle said. “The health department has treated twice for mosquitoes that I know of. I feel so sorry for these people getting kicked out of their house for a problem they did not create.” See DITCH PETITION, page A2
Pataskala
New utility director looks to improve water, sewage systems By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Nathan Coey is settling in to his new job as Pataskala director of utilities. He started in June after working in Plain City, where he was superintendent of utilities. He also has worked for Sunbury and Columbus. Coey’s top priorities have included increased plant maintenance, waterdistribution system breaks and the balance of production between the city’s two water plants.
“Our plant No. 1 is showing its age and we’re making up for that now,” Coey said, noting that his staff of nine has put more than 120 hours into maintenance in the plant in the last month, compared to 20 to 40 hours monthly during earlier periods. Pataskala benefits from a ready supply of groundwater and has the capacity to produce more than 2-million gallons per day, a million from each plant. The city currently uses less than 1 million gallons daily. “We’re using groundwater, which is
one of the best sources,” Coey said. “You have less potential for contamination (than with surface water supplies).” Coey also will be responsible for overseeing the completion of the sewage-treatment plant upgrades currently under way and scheduled to be complete by December. Changes at the plant include creating an oxidation ditch, which serves as one of the primary biotreatments for wastewater, and improved handling of sludge. “As it stands now, we send (sludge)
to the landfill at least every day, and that’s costly,” Coey said. “With the new system, we’ll be able to do it at a more cost-effective pace.” Pataskala and many cities are facing an aging infrastructure problem, where sewage collection and water-distribution systems need to be replaced. “This city and any city, you’re starting to see the age of infrastructure in water and sewer lines,” Coey said. “And there is a lot of cost that goes into operating these plants.” Coey said he also expects state and
federal environmental protection agencies to impose increasingly stringent stormwater and surface-water runoff regulations in coming years. “In the next several years, as EPA begins to implement programs and best practices, I see that as requiring permitted facilities or locations, and when that happens, our office will have to monitor that,” Coey said. “It’s getting to be a hot topic.” Coey said plant wastewater disSee UTILITY DIRECTOR, page A2

Continued from page A1 “It’s not feasible in the rural areas, but there are housing developments throughout the city,” Brooks said. “We have bike racks on the cruisers, so they can drive out to the west side, to the giant Brooks Edge development off Taylor Road, which is about the furthest point west in the city. They’ll be able to park and take their bike off, then provide that oneon-one patrolling in the neighborhood. Then they can strap their bike on the car and go to another development.” The department currently has two officers who have volunteered for the training: Decker and Alex Colles. “It’s pretty grueling,” Brooks said. “They have to be able to control the bike in a lot of different situations. They have to learn to control it going down curbs and stairs, and they have to be able to shoot off the bicycle. They’ve been to the range and all over the city and out riding in traffic. “It’s intense. It’s not just getting on a bicycle and riding around. They’re highly trained, and that’s not something you do just once and you’re done. They have an annual certification. It’s a lot to learn in a short time.” Johnstown police officer Edward Rutherford trained the Pataskala officers. “They learn the dynamics of the bike and how to use it at high speeds and low speeds,” Rutherford said. “The bikes are designed for law enforcement. The derailleur and gears are little bit heavier duty than you find in a Kmart or a Walmart. The frames are a little bit heavier for the obstacles that they face.” Colles said the training is rigorous. “It’s a pretty difficult training,” Colles said. “I came in thinking it would be a breeze, but it wasn’t. I’m a former military guy, and it kicked my butt a little bit.”
LICKING HEIGHTS Continued from page A1 rior and the same roof style. From an engineering standpoint, this addition will pursue (national standards for energy efficiency) certification.” Turner Construction analyst William O’Sullivan said construction would begin this month. “We’re starting as soon as possible, probably next week and certainly by the week after,” O’Sullivan said. “The biggest push right now is to get the addition (of the new classroom wing) enclosed by the end of the year in order to complete the wing by the time school gets out next summer. Then the (outside) site work can be done before school starts (in Aug. 2012).” The meeting was the first for Superintendent Philip Wagner, who began work this week, succeeding Thomas Tucker, now superintendent of Worthington City Schools. Wagner said he is beginning to meet teachers and staff, who are preparing for the opening of school Aug. 17.
DITCH PETITION Continued from page A1 Carlisle estimated the flooded area at nearly 5 acres over several parcels. “If we don’t act quickly, (county) soil and water is concerned this could become a wetlands, and if it becomes a wetland, then it’s covered by the EPA and it will never get drained,” Carlisle said. Carlisle said he had spoken with the state auditor and attorney general, as well as the county commissioners and the soil
and water conservation district. He estimated that as many as 22 landowners had property that drained into the area, which he described as a “bowl” surrounded by higher parcels. The trustees did not have an estimate of costs but said the county engineer would prepare plans. “It takes about a year, but since a lot of the preliminary work has already been done, they figure they can cut three or four months out of the process,” Carlisle said.
UTILITY DIRECTOR Continued from page A1 charges have been successfully regulated and the next issue to be addressed is runoff. “Since the 1980s, when they really started to enforce on the treatment plants, we have done our job and made a lot of positive changes,” Coey said. “Now they trace it back and see where the pollution is coming from and

a big part of it is non-point source runoff. It’s parking lots and roadways and trash and oil from leaking cars. “That’s going to be the next step and I think a lot of cities are in for an awakening. Stormwater management now is a smaller issue but you see what some of the bigger cities are doing, and there is going to be a dollar sign behind it.”

Just thinking
Missing dog: Last seen indoors Have I mentioned the time my dog, Pip, got lost? I don’t mean the time a year or two ago, when he wandered away through a soybean field, no doubt following his nose — which protuberance, I’m sorry to say, takes precedence over us, the people who feed him, give him toys and tell him to be a good dog. Pip’s nose tells him much more interesting things, of course. It speaks to him of rabbits and raccoons, stray cats, other dogs and the pack of coyotes that we often hear howling in the night. What dog, weighing wild, exotic smells like those against, “Be a good dog,” would decide to obey the latter directive? “Be a good dog.” I suspect that dogs find that order bewildering in the extreme. For one thing, it’s way too general; it leaves the door wide open for all kinds of behaviors dogs define as “good,” from rolling in something putrid to yap-yap-yapping at a threat to civilization, such as a robin standing in the yard. That dogs consider these behaviors good is abundantly clear. Why else does a horrifyingly malodorous dog come prancing into the house, absolutely sure of his welcome? Why else does a dog standing quietly at the window suddenly start a racket that causes family members to fling their dinner forks over their shoulders and clutch at their hearts? Telling a dog to be a good dog is a waste of breath, in other words, because a dog’s definition of “good” will never agree with a human’s. If it did, we either would have dogs completing our income taxes (“Bailey, be a good dog and finish this short form.”) or humans chewing the squeakers out of several rubber toys and then going to sleep under their own dining room tables. But I digress. I set out to talk, not about the time Pip wandered into the soybean field and I reported him missing to the animal control officer — “How long has he been gone?” the officer asked. “Almost an hour,” I said, causing the man’s writing hand to halt for several seconds, probably from sympathy — but about the time a few weeks ago when the dog disappeared inside the house. Yes, inside the house, although my husband almost immediately became convinced that Pip had somehow been left outside and was now at the mercy of coyotes and other nighttime marauders. I pictured large owls swooping in, accompanied by pterodactyls and a couple of feral cats. Still, my genuine alarm was reserved for my own search indoors. I was certain that Pip was in the house; yet, he was completely and unaccountably gone. I looked everywhere I could think to look: Not under just our bed, where he often spends entire nights and some days, but under all the beds, inside the closets, behind the washer and dryer. I opened drawers. I peered inside the kitchen cupboards. Frankly, I was beginning to get an eerie feeling about this. The dog was surely in the house and yet, he wasn’t to be found. If this
were a television movie or maybe a rerun of “The Twilight Zone,” the dog would turn out to be in another diMARGO mension. Or BARTLETT I’d turn out to be the pet of my own dog, who would appear in giant form to loom over me and hold out human treats to get my attention. “Sit!” he’d say, and I’d sit. “Down!” he’d say, and I’d lie down with my head on my front paws to watch him, waiting for the signal that it was OK to get up again.
That would probably be the end of the show but what about now, what about real life? Where was Pip? My husband came inside, shaking his head. Pip wasn’t out there, he said, not voicing his fear that he had been out there and was now gone. I was on my way back upstairs to double-check the closets and under the beds when I heard my husband call. He’s here, my husband said. My husband was in our office, the room that had been the parlor when our house was built at the beginning of the last century. It holds my desk and his, a large secretary that belonged to my late grandmother, and my piano.

My husband was standing by the piano. “Behind here,” he said. I looked. There was Pip, crouched in the small space between the piano and the wall. He didn’t seem particularly uncomfortable, although he wasn’t willing to look either of us in the eye. Too embarrassed, I figured. “It looks like he went in forward and then didn’t know how to come out backward,” I said. “But why didn’t he speak up?” All this time, of course, we’d been calling, calling, calling, and Pip had been sitting behind the piano listening to us without uttering so much as a yip. Had we been robins standing in the yard, he would have barked his head off, I thought a little bitterly, as my husband shifted the piano and Pip came out. I wasn’t really angry, though. It was so good to see his furry face again.

Settlers advance to GLSCL semifinal By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Mike Munden/The Columbus Dispatch
Ryan Wilson won three events — the long jump, 100-meter hurdles and 300 hurdles — at the 1998 Division I state meet, scoring all of Westerville North’s points to secure a share of the state title with Brunswick. The 1999 North graduate advanced to state in four events each of his four seasons, scoring in 14 of the events.
Top Individual Performances: No. 2
Wilson ran to glory at state in ’98 By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Even before Ryan Wilson entered high school, his mother, Cynthia, got a glimpse of the kind of competitor who was emerging under her roof. “He might have been 12 or 13 years old, and he told me, ‘I’m going to go to the state track meet all four years in four events,” his mother said. “That’s exactly what he would do, and he scored in 14 of those 16 events.” Perhaps his greatest feat as a prep athlete occurred in the 1998 Division I state meet, as the Westerville North junior lived up to his own high expectations in many aspects, winning the long jump (23 feet, 1 inch) on the first day of competition and coming back on day two with titles in the 110-meter hurdles (13.95 seconds) and 300 hurdles (37.1). Even with a weekend full of accomplishments, there was a disappointment that is just as memorable to Wilson: He had to settle for seventh place in the 200. Although athletes now receive two points for finishing seventh and one point for eighth in an event, a different point system was in place at that time in which

Last year, the Licking County Settlers won the regular-season championship in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League but finished runner-up in the league tournament. They were trying to reverse that order this summer after finishing second to Lima in the North Division of the GLSCL. The Settlers reached a bestof-3 semifinal, where their series against Lima was tied at 1 before the decisive game on Aug. 5. The winner advanced to the best-of-3 championship that began Aug. 6 against Southern Ohio, which swept its semifinal against Xenia. Licking County and Lima split their eight meetings during the regular season, with the Settlers winning three of the final four. The Locos won the North Division with a 28-14 record and Licking County was second at 22-20. Lima won the second game of the playoff series 6-3 on Aug. 4. The Settlers had 13 hits off a quintet of pitchers but stranded 11 runners. “We gave ourselves several chances but never came up with the clutch hit,” coach Devin McIntosh said. “It’s all about timely hitting and we didn’t get enough of that this game. We scored one in the (top of the) first and had the bases loaded with nobody out and failed to add to the lead. We also had another bases-loaded situation later in the game, but Lima pitched out of jams most of the game, so they deserve credit.” David Schwabe, Nick Schulz, Wes Meadows, Tyler Wynn and Peyton Hart each had two hits. Meadows, Hart and Seth Willoughby each had an RBI. Licking County made two errors and had a miscommunication on a fly ball that allowed another run to score. “Overall, it wasn’t a real bad game, but it certainly wasn’t a good game for us, either,” McIntosh said. The Settlers won the first game of the series 4-0 on Aug. 3 at Don Edwards Park, with Grant Porter pitching a sevenhitter. He had seven strikeouts and one walk. “I knew they were a good fastball-hitting team,” Porter said of Lima. “I definitely had to throw my offspeed stuff for strikes. I had to get it over the plate early in the count. Both the change and curve really helped me out. See SETTLERS, page A6
Football
Coaches face ‘delicate balance’ with scrimmages By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
On the way to its first losing season in 12 years last fall, an already young and undersized Ready High School football team was hindered further when it lost an expected two-way starter to a broken leg. The fact that Christian Knapper went down on the second play of the Silver Knights’ final preseason scrimmage to end his senior season virtually before it started was all the more painful. The 2011 preseason gets under way Tuesday, Aug. 9, with a series of matchups that includes Grove City traveling to Upper Arlington and Gahanna playing host to Olentangy Liberty. From Aug. 9-20, coaches and players will compete in various scrimmages throughout central Ohio in preparation for the coming season. They’ll be crossing their fingers that they won’t face a similar situation to what the Silver Knights and Knapper did last fall. “Injuries like that usually are freak accidents where somebody twists somebody or gets pretzeled underneath a
pile,” Ready coach Larry Wolf said. “(Knapper’s injury was) where the kid tried to stop and cut. Most of the time freak injuries are a total accident where there’s no rhyme or reason to them. Our kids are well-conditioned and wellprepared and we just tell them to go out and play hard.” After three seasons in which his team stayed mostly healthy over the course of each season, DeSales coach Ryan Wiggins watched last year as several key regular-season injuries, including one to running back Warren Ball that lingered much of the fall, hindered his team’s success. Like Wolf, however, Wiggins isn’t planning to keep his players from giving their best effort just to try to keep them from getting injured, and that includes when they’re competing in a preseason scrimmage. “It’s a delicate balance,” Wiggins said. “It always bothers me when a kid gets hurt in practice, but you’ve got to prepare physically. You’re trying to be smart when it’s your own guys, but when you play a different-colored jersey, you’ve just got to play. Usually

WILSON 1980s and early 1990s, making stops at Columbus Central, Centennial and Academy, and remains a teacher at Academy. After Wilson graduated from North, he competed for the University of Southern California, winning an NCAA title in the 110 hurdles in 2003. He also was the bronze medalist in the IAFF World Athletics Final in 2008. Wilson has been a professional track athlete since 2004. In the USATF Outdoor Nationals on June 25 in Eugene, Ore., he finished 16th (13.52) in the semifinals of the 110 hurdles senior race as the top eight advanced to the final. He then traveled to Europe to compete in meets in Switzerland and France in July. He also was expected to travel to Sweden for a meet in late July. Now 30 years old, Wilson expects to continue competing professionally for at least two years and possibly as many as six. He has lived in Los Angeles since 1999. “It’s a lot of fun to compete in Europe,” he said. “It’s always nice to know that there’s a knowledgeable fan base over there that really appreciates you. It’s refreshing. I definitely feel fortunate to be able to travel like this, and I’m trying to enjoy the parts that I can. Not a lot of people are able to see the world like I have.” Although he’s competed in track meets in front of as many as 75,000 fans in Europe, the sheer magnitude of winning three state titles is something Cynthia Wilson believes will live on in the memories of track fans throughout Ohio. “The further you get away from it, the more you realize what a big deal it was, especially since it was in Division I,” she said. “It was the last time the meet was held at Ohio State, so that was fun, too. He’s always set all of these goals for himself and some of those goals have eluded him, but he’s been able to run at the highest levels. He loves the hurdles and he really loved Westerville North and loved coach Cavin and the support from the community.”

In 1998, during the final state track meet held at Ohio Stadium, he was one of five North athletes competing but the only one who scored. The 3,200 relay of Nathan Aichele, Jared Conley, Jason Conley and Tyler Pensyl also represented the Warriors but didn’t place. In 1999 at Welcome Stadium in Dayton, Wilson defended his titles in the 110 hurdles (13.7) and 300 hurdles (36.46) and finished third in the long jump (23-7 1/4). He also competed in the 1,600 relay that failed to place. “It was amazing, watching Ryan perform the way that he did,” said Pensyl, who went on to run for Denison University and has been working for the law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease as an associate for five years. “He rose to the occasion. We only lost one meet all year, and we had a number of outstanding individuals. It really felt like a team championship and I thought it was a reflection of everything that we did that year.” According to Bob Cavin, who was North’s coach in 1998 and currently serves as an assistant football and track coach at New Albany, a now-famous T-shirt was produced after the first day of the state meet. On the front, the shirt read, “Get outta my way. I’m on Ryan Wilson’s team.” On the back, it read, “I made it to the state meet, too.” “It was a great team accomplishment and Ryan was just the leader,” Cavin said. “For Ryan to score all of our points, that was just the icing on the cake.” “Even though I happened to score all of the points, that was one of the best teams we’ve ever had,” Wilson said. “Even though it’s an individual sport, I still have a lot of friends from that team. That was the last meet in ‘The Horseshoe,’ and I’m really proud I was able to be a part of people sending the track out in style.” Wilson comes from a family of track athletes. His brother, Glen, was a three-time state meet competitor for Academy who later competed in julrey@thisweeknews.com track for Yale. His mother coached track in the www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Hamilton Joes 10-0 in the other play-in game. Against Cincinnati, Wynn was 4-for-5 and scored three runs and Willoughby was 2-for-4 with four RBI. Also adding two hits apiece in the 15-hit attack were Schulz, Krizman and Hart. The Settlers scored four runs in the first and led 6-2 through five innings before adding three runs in the seventh. Tyler Vaske (6-2) allowed one run and six hits in seven innings. Mark Elwell, a Newark Catholic product who plays at Xavier University, had two hits for the Storm, who finished 22-20 in the regular season. •AWARDS — The Settlers were represented well when league honors were announced Aug. 2. Alex Johnson (CF, .323 batting average, 31 runs, 24 RBI, 20 stolen bases) was named Top Position Prospect. Joining him on the first team were Meadows (C, .370, 23 runs, 26 RBI, 5 home runs) and Vaske (P, 5-2, 1.97 ERA, 37 strikeouts and 13 walks in 45 2/3 innings). Schwabe (3B, .311, 32 runs) was on the second team.

Then, I mixed in the fastball to catch them off guard.” Porter had 1-2-3 innings only in the fifth and ninth, but he only allowed the Locos to have more than one base runner in one inning. In the fourth, he gave up a leadoff single and two-out single before recording an inning-ending strikeout. Porter threw 77 of his 105 pitches for strikes. He had not worked beyond seven innings all season before producing the Settlers’ second complete game of the season. “I started to feel stronger as the game went on, so I was glad to be given the opportunity to finish it off,” he said. Licking County scored all four runs in the fourth as Locos’starter Luke Bushur hit Meadows, Wynn and Hart with pitches. Kody Krizman, who played for the Locos last season, had an RBI single and the Settlers scored three runs on errors. The six-team postseason began Aug. 2, as the host Settlers defeated the Cincinnati Storm 9-2 bemerine@thisweeknews.com in a play-in game. The Xenia Scouts beat the www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
FOOTBALL Continued from page A5 mage schedule Aug. 13 against visiting Kings Mills Kings and plays host to Westland on Aug. 16 before playing host to Reynoldsburg on Aug. 19 in a jamboree. According to Pioneers coach Brian Cross, the scrimmage against Westland will be a “passing scrimmage.” Although both teams will have 11 players on the field unlike in the 7-on-7 passing tournaments during the summer, at least seven of every 11 plays will be passes. Cross considers it to be a sign of the times as teams continue to develop more complex passing offenses. Westland’s new coach, Steve White, was an assistant under Cross when the two were on the same coaching staff at Grove City. “I don’t know what other people are doing, but having two scrimmages when we tackle and run the ball is enough,” Cross said. “This gives us a chance to have the defense see more passing, and we’ll mix in a few draw plays.” While some teams prefer to play a neighborhood school that could bring unique intensity during their scrimmage opener, oth-
ers will enter their first scrimmage with an eye on keeping it simple. Perennial playoff contender Eastmoor Academy and defending Division IV state champion Hartley will meet in the opening scrimmage for both teams Aug. 13 at Hartley. The matchup of East-side schools is one that Warriors coach Jim Miranda looks forward to because of the toughness that his team will get to face as it prepares for the coming season. “Hartley’s got a good, sound program with well-coached kids,” Miranda said. “(Hawks coach Brad Burchfield) enjoys the team speed we have. For us, they have a quick-paced offensive set and disciplined kids, so it makes us have to play sound.” DeSales plays at Westerville South on Aug. 13 in what Wiggins calls a “controlled” scrimmage. It then plays host to Upper Arlington on Aug. 19. “The first scrimmage is against somebody other than ourselves and it’s when you’re going to see real speed for the first time,” Wiggins said. “We know we’re going to see kids with good size and good athleticism, and we’re looking to see how physical we are
and how well we’ve learned our assignments.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
