City sewer rates going up, water down By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
City residents will pay more for sewer service but less for water under the terms of legislation approved July 28 by Marysville City Council. The rate adjustments will take effect on Jan. 1, 2012. Residents will see a 10-percent increase
in sewer rates (an increase of $3.73 per 600 cubic feet), and a 7.5-percent decrease in monthly water rates (a decrease of $3.54 per 600 cubic feet). Based on the average monthly water and sewer bills in Marysville, the change will result in an average monthly increase of 19 cents in 2012, according to the city’s figures. “With your sewer rates going up ap-
proximately 10 percent, your water rates are being reduced very close to that amount to really minimize the impact on our residents,” city administrator Terry Emery said. The new plan is aimed at aggressively paying down some of the city’s debt and lessening the impact of water and sewer rate increases on consumers, in anticipation of continued growth in the com-
ing decade. The city was required to raise the sewer rate by 10 percent in order to meet its debt covenant, said Jenny Chavarria, the city’s finance director. The new sewer rate is part of Marysville’s five-year plan. “We were trying to offset it (increase in sewer rates) as much as we could so there is minimal impact,” Chavarria said. The new rates will shift a higher end
balance in the city’s water funds, rather than sewer, as of Dec. 31, 2011. With a beginning balance of $4.64 million (sewer funds) and $15.19 million (water funds), revenues are projected at $37.20 million (sewer) and $9.23 million (water). Expenditures are projected at $40.18 million (sewer) and $10.72 million (water), leaving an end balance of $1.67 million (sewer) and $13.70 million (water).

Writers’ anthology to aid Humane Society By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A Marysville-based writers group, Fiction Flurry, has published an anthology of short stories entitled “Tales of Summer Romance.” The collection features seven stories ranging from historical to contemporary romance genres from local authors Michele Buchholz, Rachel Dilley, Michele Downey, Colleen Scott and Beth Zellner, all of Marysville; Susan Gee Heino of Richwood; and Erin Millar of Columbus. Although she was an English major in college, Dilley never had done any creative writing for herself. She said she decided to reach out locally to anyone interested in starting a writers group and in January 2009, the writ-
ers had their first meeting. They have met biweekly ever since to assist each other with various writing projects; currently, Fiction Flurry has eight regular members. “All of us write in different genres,” Dilley said. “We have some people who write literary fiction, others write romance, some of us write contemporary. “There are some writers groups who focus on one particular genre, however, since we don’t, we liked the name Fiction Flurry because it’s just a whole bunch of different genres all mixed up,” she said. The frustrating process of getting a book published led the group to experiment with writing an e-book, Dilley said. “There are some of us who are published, some of us who are not,” she said. “We thought

it would be a fun, collective project to work on; to put together a collection of short stories and publish it as an e-book.” The writers began drafting stories in May, critiqued each other’s work and had a couple of rounds of revisions before going about the e-publishing process in late June, Dilley said. “Tales of Summer Romance” became available online on June 27, and recently increased its distribution to mainstream online booksellers. “It’s exciting to see your name in print and see it available on all the major booksellers’ websites,” Dilley said. “We’re very hopeful and excited about the future of the book.” Fiction Flurry will donate half the proceeds See ANTHOLOGY, page A5
Superintendent Larry Zimmerman is stepping down after 40 years in the Marysville Exempted Village School District. Zimmerman, who said he is proud to be a Monarch, announced his resignation at the July 25 board of education meeting. The board accepted his resignation, effective Feb. 3, 2012, five months before his five-year contract was set to expire. “I need to decide what to do when I grow up,” Zimmerman said. He said his family played a large role in helping him make his decision to leave. His wife, Brenda, is a retired Marysville elementary school teacher and the youngest of his three sons just graduated from high school in June. In addition, he said the looming financial crisis due to state budget cuts signaled that a change in leadership might do the district some good. “From a family standpoint … it’s time,” Zimmerman said. As a Little League baseball coach right out of high school, Zimmerman said he knew he wanted to be an educator. “I love the kids. That’s the reason I got into this business,” he said. Zimmerman began his 40-year career in the district in 1972 as a middle school social studies teacher. “I love middle school kids,” he said. “They’re just goofy and fun, high-energy and honest.” During his time in the district,

Zimmerman held stints as a guidance counselor, football, track and basketball coach, became an administrator in Larry 1977 and the Zimmerman district’s superintendent in 1997. “Early in my career, I thought I wanted to be a superintendent and then the longer I was in my career, I thought maybe being an assistant superintendent is more my calling. But they (the board) talked me into it and it’s been a good 15 years,” he said. When he began his tenure as superintendent, Zimmerman said he had to learn the business side of the district, but never forgot the education side. “If you ever lose sight of that, you’ve lost sight of the real purpose of being in this business,” he said. Although Zimmerman had multiple opportunities to leave the district, he said he never wanted to leave “home.” “At the end of the day … it always came down to, ‘Where do you want your family to be?’” he said. “Marysville was always incredibly welcoming and a good place for me and my family.” As for his legacy, Zimmerman said he always worked to do what is best for the students and the district. “My beliefs are that you have to be a good listener and you have to treat people well,” he said. “I

Support group celebrates 50 years By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A Marysville mothers’support group celebrated 50 years of friendship and guidance this year. Modern Mothers Study Support League, a member of the Ohio Child Conservation League, promotes the health, mental, moral and physical wellbeing of children by following the OCCL slogan, “A child well guided today, tomorrow will guide his own destiny.� As a mother of two,Alma Lou Westfall, past president, joined Modern Mothers Study Support League in 1963. She said the group began in 1960 and functioned as a support group for mothers to aid each other in raising their children. “We just thought that was fun,� she said of the group completing its 50th year together. “Same thing you do if you were married 50 years, only it’s been 50 years of friendship together.� Over the years, the Modern Mothers Study Support League visited various demonstrations at churches, libraries, historical houses and buildings, and members have listened to speakers on topics ranging from health issues to crafts, all geared toward helping them raise their children. In 2011, the group had 13 active members with
a combined 47 children, 69 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, seven step-grandchildren and five step-great grandchildren, for a total of 141. Now that the children have grown and have started their own families, the group focuses its efforts on friendship and philanthropic projects. Each year, the group donates money to the OCCL scholarship fund and the Marysville High School activities fund, Westfall said. “I think a lot of people have gotten away from the basics of living, with all your new electronic gadgets and so forth,� Westfall said, explaining why today’s generation of children don’t take part in the same activities as her children did. “They (children) don’t get outside and exercise enough,� she said. Over the past 50 years, the Modern Mothers group has touched many lives through its philanthropic work. Members have volunteered their time at the Union County Personal Needs Pantry, as well as acted as volunteer “blanketeers� donating 25 blankets to the Union County Project Linus, which provides handmade blankets, afghans and quilts for children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need, Westfall said. Westfall said the group will take the summer off, since some of its members travel south for the summer, but will pick up for its 51st year in September.

Williams will be a team leader for the 2011 jaunt. “It truly is an honor to work on either one of these planes, much less the opportunity to do both of them,� Williams said. “It really is an honor and a privilege to fly out here and be part of a team of really elite detailers.� President Dwight D. Eisenhower took the first presidential jet flight aboard the “flying White House� in 1959. The one-of-akind Boeing 707 VC-137B model, which carried presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon as well as numerous national and world leaders, is 145 feet long, weighs 258,000 pounds and has rested in Seattle since 1996. The B-29 fought in the Pacific during World War II, flying 37 bombing missions with the 875th Bomb Squadron, 498th Bomb Group. The bomber was later converted to an aerial refueling tanker for the Korean Conflict, and finally arrived at the
College notes museum in May 1993. Williams said the team’s goal is to get the two planes back to their original luster by restoring the entire exterior of both planes. Reconditioning the aluminum on the B-29 bomber will be the team’s biggest challenge because it has not been reconditioned before, Williams said. The 99-foot, 105,000-pound bomber “needs a little TLC,� he said. “The B-29 bomber, the whole exterior is all aluminum, so we’ll be restoring all that aluminum, bringing it back to a mirror-like finish,� he said. “Same thing with the Air Force One SAM 970. We’ll be restoring that paint as well, buffing the paint out, polishing it. “We really are polishing out pieces of history that helped shape the U.S. the way it is today,� he added.

Council approves sign ordinance changes By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Marysville City Council unanimously approved three ordinances July 28 that govern the use of temporary signs. For the past year and a half, officials have worked on exactly what city code should say pertaining to temporary signs — what sort of uses should be allowed, how they should be permitted and where they can be placed. The approved new ordinances call for one-time portable sidewalk sign inspection fee of $50, with subsequent annual inspec-
tions at no charge. The term “portable sidewalk signs” replaces the term “A-frame signs” in the code and the code will now permit the use of temporary signs for sports and organizations, contractor identification, window signs, yard and garage sale signs, vehicular signs, festival and special event signs, holiday murals, light pole banners, public and quasi-public signs and portable sidewalk signs. No fees are required for these signs. “We just want the city to look nice, but also (be) friendly to businesses,” council member Dan Fogt said. “No legislation that we pass is ever perfect, so if there’s

Auditions slated for ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ The Houston House Arts Center will hold auditions for “It’s A Wonderful Life” from 1 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at the Houston House, 264 W. Fifth St., Marysville. The two-act play, written by James W. Rodgers, is based on the story by Philip Van Doren Stern about a man named George Bailey, a frustrated yet compassionate businessman who struggles against a greedy banker. His family stands by him through thick and thin and he is given encour-
from the e-book’s net sales between now and Dec. 31 to the Union County Humane Society. “There are so many authors involved with the project it was hard to know how much money the book would make and we decided that the whole purpose for the book wasn’t to make money anyway, it was for the experience,” Dilley said. “We mulled around a number of different local organizations to contribute to.” Since all of the writers own and love pets, they chose to donate to the Humane Society, Dilley said.

“We really just wanted to give something back to our community,” she said. Steffen Baldwin, director of the Union County Humane Society, said it was an honor to be chosen by Fiction Flurry. According to Baldwin, the money donated by Fiction Flurry will go toward the shelter’s Help Us Grow (HUG) expansion campaign. “We’re out of room right now. We operate at about 120-130 percent capacity,” Baldwin said, explaining that in order to accommodate the number of animals, some have to be placed in foster
care, hallways and office space. Baldwin said HUG’s goal is to raise $400,000 by the summer of 2012 to double the size of the shelter. To date, the campaign has raised approximately $80,000. Fiction Flurry will continue to meet; members have discussed publishing a fall or Christmas collection of stories, but nothing has been finalized at this time, Dilley said. “Tales of Summer Romance” is available for purchase for $2.99 on iTunes, barnesandnoble.com and smashwords.com, and will soon be available on amazon.com. bbyers@thisweeknews.com

ZIMMERMAN Continued from page A1 feel as though I’ve been a very good listener and I feel as though I’ve treated people well, and I’ve stood firm for what I believe is what the community wants out of their school district.” Preliminary reports show that the Ohio Department of Education has rated each Marysville school, as well as the entire district, excellent for the 2010-11 school year, giving Zimmerman the best grade card of his career as superintendent. “As a district, our achievement continues to improve,” he said. “We’re a better school district than what we were years ago. “And I’m very proud of that,” he added. Board President Jeff Mabee has worked closely with Zimmerman for the last three years but said he has known him for much longer than that. “I don’t think that anybody cared more about what happened to our students, than Larry did,”
Mabee said. “As far as I’m concerned, every decision that he made was always in the best interest of our students. “That guy, to the core, cared about the students of our district,” he added. Zimmerman said the two things he will miss the most are the people and the challenges. “I love the daily work of the superintendent,” he said. “Figuring out what to no next is a great jigsaw puzzle. I love it.” As for what is next, Zimmerman said he doesn’t know, but his plans are to stay in Marysville. “I will stay busy. I have to do something,” he said. “I will continue to work, but I’m going to take some time to figure it out.” The board will soon begin a search for someone to replace Zimmerman as superintendent, but details of the process have not been determined, Mabee said. “It’s a great place,” Zimmerman said of the Marysville school district. “I hope the next person will treat it the same way.”
CRUISE Continued from page A1 of 2,000 people. “We get all kinds,” Weaver said of the cars that show up and line Main Street in Uptown Plain City. “We get a number of them from the ’30s, the hot rods, a lot of the classic muscle cars (and) lots of cars from the ’50s, too.” “We did not fill up all the available space last year on the street,” Weaver said. “We’d really like to have 300 or more (registered automobiles this year).” According to Weaver, the award categories have been expanded for this year’s event, but will continue to include dated classes:1939 and earlier; 1940s, ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and 2000 to the present, and Best of
Show. There will also be 10 motorcycle awards given out this year. Weaver said she hopes to further incorporate motorcycles into the event each year. “We didn’t have motorcycle awards before last year,” she said, explaining that the 2010 Classic Car Cruise-In had only one motorcycle award. “We constantly had people mentioning we should do more with motorcycles,” she said. “That they wanted to bring them to the show, too.” In addition to the car show, visitors will be able to enjoy music from two local talents: singersongwriter Jorden Stock and the classic rock group, 4 Miles Out. “There’s plenty to do, even if
you don’t have a car,” Weaver said. “You can come see a band, you can look at the cars (and) you can get something to eat.” Returning from last year are the 50/50 raffle and a prize raffle for items such as grilling accessories, gift certificates and gift baskets, Weaver said. The open silent auction also returns this year for a one-day pass to The Mid-Ohio School for the chance at a defensive driving or performance driving class at the MidOhio Sports Car Course. Admission to the Classic Car Cruise-In is free. The event is presented by Bob Chapman Ford Registration is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and costs $10 per vehicle.

Teams gearing up 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 7on-7 passing tournaments, with a few glimpses of the playbook thrown in. Beginning Monday, Aug. 1, it final-
ly 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 watch-
ing 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. Do you have some leaders who 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 See FOOTBALL, page A8
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

Annehurst ends drought, wins NEW title By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek
Marysville’s Kaidie Carstensen splashes friends with water from her swim cap during the North-East-West meet July 20.
The math may be fuzzy, but the memories won’t be for the Annehurst Piranhas. The Piranhas ended a long dry spell on a hot day at the NorthEast-West Swim League championship meet, scoring 2,165 points to win the title July 20 at the Dublin Community Pool North. Defending champion Dublin Arctic was runner-up (2,118). “It’s been a real, real long time since we’ve won,” said coach Kevin Kissling, whose team is based in Westerville. “I believe it’s been 22 years, but I’m not exactly sure since I haven’t been here that long. We all went back to our pool and threw a party that lasted until after midnight. I’ve been receiving calls and congratulations from former members who no longer live in Ohio and haven’t been around here in years and decades. It’s been amazing.” Rounding out the overall team standings were Dublin Pacific (1,939), Grandview (1,887),
Dublin Atlantic (1,704.5), Marysville (1,515.5) and Northland (485). During the regular season, the teams are divided into the Olentangy Division and the Scioto Division. Annehurst, Dublin Arctic, Dublin Pacific and Grandview compete in the Olentangy. Chad Rankin, who competed in his 11th and final season with Annehurst, said team members surprised everyone, including themselves. “I’ve been with Annehurst for a long time and we’ve never ever even come close to winning before,” Rankin said. “No one gave us a chance again, but about halfway through the meet our coaches told us we were only 14 points behind. We realized we had an opportunity. We had some good swims coming up and we were motivated. It was time to make our move. With the inspiration, we rallied and finally we were able to do something great.” Rankin, who graduated from St. Charles Preparatory School last spring and will attend Butler University in the fall, won the 100-
meter individual medley (1 minute, 6.66 seconds) in the boys 15-18 age division, was runner-up in the 50 butterfly (28.09) and was lead leg in the winning 200 freestyle relay (1:48.75). But it wasn’t the number of event wins that vaulted Annehurst to the top, according to Kissling. “The important thing is that every swimmer we had from age 6 to age 18 scored in at least one individual event,” Kissling said. “We limited our mistakes (and) had considerably less (swimmers disqualified). We were in a virtual four-team tie halfway through the meet and from that point on, the kids did an excellent job moving up. We told them if they all could move up one place in their events, we’d get one additional point and take away one potential point from the other teams. That’s what won it for us.” Annehurst had three swimmers earn high-point totals in their divisions. Emma Rennie scored 60 points in the 8-and-under girls, Cate Kray totaled 60 points in the See SWIM, page A8
Top Individual Performances: No. 3
Avery’s heroics led Newark to state title By JARROD ULREY 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 See LARSON, page A8 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 quarter. He hit a jumper nine seconds into the period to make it 2114 and made his only 3-point attempt with 6 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the quarter to give the Wildcats a 2414 lead. After Newark took a 14-point lead midway through the second period, St. Edward rallied to within six before Avery hit a jumper 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.” 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 points, he was one of the primary reasons St. Edward’s Tom Pritchard — an Indiana University recruit — was held to nine points on 3for-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 Uni-
versity, 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 See AVERY, page A8

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.
AVERY Continued from page A7 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 thirdteam all-state and first-team alldistrict 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 200910 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

The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 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
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
surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and state-ranked 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 freethrow line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 23, 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 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 159 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 4-1 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.

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

(1:14.91) and Mayo set a mark in the 50 breast (34.28). For Dublin Pacific, earning high-point honors were Kali Ulm (40, 6-and-under girls) and Brady Vann (56, 8-and-under boys). Ulm set a record in the 25 back (27.47). Jordan Arnou-Rhees of Dublin Atlantic had 60 points in the 10-and-under girls with Grandview’s Charlie Ferguson scoring 60 to lead the 10-andunder boys competitors. Arnou-Rhees set a record in the 25 fly (16.19). •OTHER RECORDS — Seven records were broken in the meet. In addition to Arnou-Rhees, Barton, Mayo and Ulm, Grandview’s Martina Moncolova set a record in the 25 back (18.28) in the 10-and-under girls division, Edward Michael of Dublin Atlantic won the 50 back in a record 34.38 in the boys 12-andunder division and Elizabeth Andrews of Dublin Pacific went a record 21.97 in the 25 breast in the girls 8-and-under division.

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.

12-and-under girls and Michael Gutman had 57 points in the 12-and-under boys. “I swim club all year-round for the Ohio State Swim Club,” said Kray, who will attend Heritage Middle School in the fall and expects to attend Westerville South High School in the future. “I only had four practices with Annehurst, but I am very happy to help us win. I swam my best time in the 100 IM, but didn’t swim my best in the 50 (backstroke) or 50 fly. But I’m still excited and we’re all very excited. I’ve heard it’s been over 20 years (since the team won) and I’ve even heard some people say it’s been 40 years. Whatever it is, it’s been a long time.” High-point honors for Dublin Arctic were produced by Dean Sherrer (37 points, 6-and-under boys), Kelsey High (60, 14-and-under girls), Katie Kaffenbarger (60, 18-and-under girls) and Tanner Barton (60, 18-and-under boys), with Louis Mayo (58.5, 14-and-under boys) sharing honors with bemerine@thisweeknews.com Marysville’s Gavin Mickelson.

played (youth) football but some 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-
