Dealing with the state budget
Collaboration, shared services will be key By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Union County and city of Marysville officials have been anticipating the approval of the new state budget, and now that it has been passed, the community can expect to see a collaborative effort to work through its effects.
Union County With the new state budget, the county is expecting to lose approximately $900,000 in tangible personal property tax (TPPT) reimbursements and $1.1 million in local government funds by 2013. Actual figures have not yet been computed.
Union County has experienced major growth and a tremendous increase in demand of services since 2003, commissioner Gary Lee said. “Our budget reached nearly $19.5 mil- Gary Lee
lion back in 2008,” he said. A $2-million loss would put Union County back to its 2005 spending level, commissioner Steve Stolte said. “The last several Steve Stolte
years, 2009, 2010 and we anticipate in 2011, that our revenues for those three years are going to average about $17.5 million,” Stolte said. “With the new state budget, we expect to lose potentially another $2 million in annual revenues by 2013. So by 2013, we’ll be faced with See COLLABORATION, page A2

New Uptown business emphasizes local goods and recycled products By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
After being sent on a mission to find a home in Marysville, Plain and Practical owner Valerie Hibbard instead found a space where she and her husband could build their dream bulk-foods store. “We pretty much wanted to have some kind of a business and we looked at a lot of different possibilities,” Valerie Hibbard said. “I knew I didn’t want to sell beer and lottery tickets at midnight. “I wanted to have a business that I could feel good about. I wanted to sell products that people needed,” she said. Plain and Practical, located at 117 E. Fifth Street, opened in May. The store sells a variety of items, including jam, jelly, honey, spices, eggs, wheat, flour, beans, rice, cutting boards, aprons, bag organizers, dishcloths and cookbooks. Valerie Hibbard has been selling her handmade goods since she was 9 years old. She makes most of the sewing products for sale in the store, while other products are bought locally. “Almost everything in here that’s sewn was sewn out of recycled materials,” she said. Her love for recycling can be seen in the store’s anti-paper towels (small square towels that are made by recycling linen and cotton tablecloths), pillowcases and tank-top tote bags and a jean-skirt apron.

Hi-Point begins search for new superintendent By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ohio Hi-Point Career Center will begin a search for a new superintendent following the resignation of current superintendent Kim Davis. Davis, who has been Ohio Hi-Point’s superintendent for eight years, announced on June 24 she will be leaving to take the same position at Tolles Career and Technical Center in Plain City. Kelsey Giesler, Ohio Hi-Point communications coordinator, said Davis’ last day will be July 31. “It was an opportunity to take a superintendency with an outstanding school, an outstanding career center in a very progressive area of the state,” Davis said. “I’m just thrilled to have the opportunity.” Davis said she will miss the community partnerships she has established over the past eight years. “I’ve just gained so many great friends and colleagues here at Ohio Hi-Point,” she said. “I’m going to miss them all very much.” Anne Reames, Ohio Hi-Point Board of Education president, said Davis’ replacement will have

Union County Board of Health
Voters will see renewal levy on November ballot By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Union County Board of Health will place a 0.5-mill renewal levy before voters this November. The Union County General Health District’s current 10-year, 0.5-mill
levy is set to expire in December. If passed, the renewal levy would start a new 10-year cycle after the completion of the current levy’s cycle. A renewal levy would not increase the cost to individual taxpayers and would allow the health department to continue providing public
The president of the Marysville Education Association said a board vote last week on an offer from the teachers union to freeze salaries and forgo a pay increase should have been a “no-brainer.” Instead, the board voted June 27 to table action on the proposal from the union to freeze teachers’ salaries for two years and forgo a scheduled 1-percent pay increase, saving the school district $2.78 million. A plan to freeze classified and administrative step increases and salary schedules was also tabled. The board scheduled a meeting at 6 p.m. Friday, July 8, after ThisWeek’s press time, to discuss the contract in executive session. Members could take the union proposal off the table and vote on the items following the executive session. MEA president Juliet Litzel said she and other union members who voted for the pay freeze “are really disappointed that the board didn’t accept this offer.” She said the MEA and the board have always worked well together. “We keep on giving back and for the board not to want to meet us halfway on this, I’m really surprised,” she said. The new contract would nullify the terms of the previous teachers’ agreement, which was set to expire Dec. 31, and would extend the contract between the district and the union for two years. “I think this is one heck of an offer,” Litzel said. “It’s a two-year deal: Things stay the way they are and you save nearly $3 million.” The board postponed its vote last week to allow members time to discuss the terms and impacts of
health services. Health commissioner Jason Orcena said the renewal levy is a “pretty significant commitment from our board to the community.” “We have gone 10 years with a certain amount of money, a fixed amount of money,” Orcena said. “We’re saying to our community,

Collaboration, shared services will be key Continued from page A1
we’re in the service business,” Lee said. “The majority of our budget is expenses of personnel to provide services. “Every service that we provide, to someone, is an essential service,” he said. “Some essential services are going to be limited in this process. It’s important to get community input on what services are going to be reduced.” Lee said the buzzwords around Columbus are “collaboration” and “shared services.” “Union County was into that concept long before it became the buzzword in Columbus,” he said. Stolte said Union County knows what it takes to collaborate. “We don’t want to be in a position where we just arbitrarily say, ‘We’re going to cut budgets by 15 percent,’ or ‘We’re going to cut your budget by 25 percent and your budget by 5 percent.’ “We really want to engage all of our officeholders and have them provide ideas and thoughts about how to manage (and) how to reduce their budgets,” Stolte said. “We want their input. We want their engagement so that in the end, we end up with the best decision possible.” Commissioners and various city and county officeholders met June 28 to discuss options on how to handle the budget cuts. “In our meeting, we asked the of-
general fund revenues of probably $15.5 million.” Lee said that because of the county’s growth, it was one of the last in Ohio to feel the economic downturn. “We were probably a year to 18 months behind nearly every other county in the state of Ohio,” Lee said. Lee and Stolte said they do not want to see an increase in taxes as a result of the budget cuts. “People expect governments to live within their means,” Stolte said. “There’s very little sentiment among our constituents to see taxes increased.” Since the state is on a budget that runs from July 1 to June 31 and county governments are on a budget that runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, Lee said the county will experience a delay in the full effect from state budget cuts. “We passed a budget at the first of this year for the whole year not knowing that … revenue was going to start dropping the last six months,” Stolte said. “So we’re going to lose some dollars the last six months of this year that we had anticipated coming in.” The cuts could mean a reduction or elimination of services and programs, personnel layoffs, reduction in personnel hours and furlough days. “We’re in the people business and
PLAIN AND PRACTICAL Continued from page A1 “People overlook a lot of usefulness that’s still left in a lot of goods that get disposed of and it just takes somebody with the eye to put it together into something that people want again,” Craig Hibbard said. “And she’s really, really good at that.” Plain and Practical also focuses on supporting other local businesses. “We’re not going to compete against Walmart,” Craig Hibbard said. “So if you want to be a local business, you should support local business.” His wife said the couple want to be a part of the community and not “just come here and have people’s money and leave with it.” “We feel that it’s not our store, it’s the community’s store,” she said. The kitchen that came with the store is currently being used to
ficeholders to take a look at their mandated services, list those for us, look at their discretionary services, list those for us, and then to prioritize the discretionary services,” Lee said. According to Stolte, the new state budget has given the county an opportunity to establish better relationships and to work with other partners to manage the new budget. Initial discussions among the county, the city of Marysville and the Marysville Exempted Village School District have begun and Stolte said these will continue to see how all can collaborate to save money. “All three entities, I think, share a great amount of desire to step out of the box and do the very best we can do,” Lee said. City of Marysville The city has been preparing for reduced funding from the state and, according to city finance director Jenny Chavarria, Marysville is pretty fortunate compared to other entities. “For the 2011 budget, we already had taken it into consideration that there would be reduced local government funding and also tangible personal property (tax),” Chavarria said. “Our funding from the state is about 5 percent of our general fund budget, so we’re not as hard-hit as some of the other enti-
ties may be.” Chavarria said that due to the economy, major cuts were done in 2009 and 2010. “What we’re doing now is not necessarily bringing back all those cuts that were made in those years,” she said. The city gets between $200,000 and $225,000 a year from tangible personal property taxes, Chavarria said. “As we’ve already planned to have that phase out for the city, that’s not as much of a burden as the local government (funding cuts),” she said. Last year, Marysville received almost $400,000 in local government funding, but next year will see a 50percent reduction. “We were anticipating a reduction, not necessarily as significant that came through,” she said. According to Chavarria, the city is looking to make itself, as a whole, more efficient. “We’re looking at each department, each service and determining if it’s being done as efficiently as possible,” she said. Chavarria said she expects to see more shared services among communities, including possibly sharing IT service among the city, Union County and the Marysville Exempted Village School District, which would result in a lower cost for each entity.

Marysville Exempted Village School District Board President Jeff Mabee said the district already had an idea of what reductions its budget would face upon passage of the new state budget. “We didn’t wait for Jeff Mabee a budget to get passed,” Mabee said. “We kind of had a general idea of what was coming our way.” According to Cindy Ritter, district treasurer/CFO, the schools will lose more than $900,000 a year in tangible personal property taxes, which wasn’t expected to occur until after fiscal year 2013. “We knew that it was coming, but we thought we had two years’ reprieve,” Ritter said. She said the district is “getting a little bit more in our basic aid,” but is not yet sure of the exact amount. “There’s some stuff in the state budget we still don’t know about,” Mabee said, such as special education vouchers and how that will affect the district. “We’re going to continue squeezing every dollar for what we can and continue to monitor and make adjustments where we have to,” Mabee said. bbyers@thisweeknews.com

I grew up with them and I take them for granted.” The kitchen can also be rented out for private arrangements, she said. Plain and Practical is the Hibbards’first retail store.

Concert in the Park
Program to resume July 17 By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A closer look
The Marysville Division of Parks and Recreation’s Concert in the Park program will return this summer with the first band taking the stage on July 17. Department superintendent Steve Conley said the Concert in the Park program started 11 years ago. “Last year, due to budget cuts, the concerts were cut,” he said. Conley said he received numerous phone calls and emails from community members who were “sad to see that the concerts were cut.” “Once the voters approved the income tax increase in November, some of the money was put back in to do a limited Concert in the Park series this year,” he said. This summer’s four concerts will feature music from the Gas Pump Jockeys (July 17); the Barbershop Quartet (July 24); British Invasion (Aug. 14); and McGuffey Lane (Aug. 28). All events will be held on Sunday evenings
All Concert in the Park events are scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Sean Doebert Memorial Amphitheater at the Paris Township Music Pavilion, located in the American Legion Park at the corner of Fifth Street and Park Avenue. • July 17: Gas Pump Jockeys • July 24: Barbershop Quartet • Aug. 14: British Invasion • Aug. 28: McGuffey Lane
from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Sean Doebert Memorial Amphitheater at the Paris Township Music Pavilion, located in the American Legion Park at the corner of Fifth Street and Park Avenue. Conley describes the concert atmosphere as “a good time had by all.” “Everyone isn’t going to hear their favorite types of music every time there’s a concert,” he said. “But what I hope is I’ve chosen a
good variety of entertainers who will provide good music and good entertainment.” The first concert, featuring the Gas Pump Jockeys, will highlight music from the ’50s to ’80s. Conley estimates that 150 to 200 people have shown up for concerts in previous years. “It’s a good community activity,” he said. “It’s an experience that families can take their kids to.” Conley said he anticipates the Aug. 28 concert with McGuffey Lane will be the program’s biggest event, attracting nearly 600 audience members. The concerts are free and seating is limited. Food will not be available on site during the concert, but the Division of Parks and Recreation will be selling soft drinks, Conley said. If the weather is inclement or questionable, the concerts may be canceled, in which case, banners will be posted at the entrance of the park to notify the community. bbyers@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Union County’s annual chipseal resurfacing program will begin on Monday, July 11, with work expected to last three to four weeks. Union County engineer’s crews will work to resurface 73 miles
of roads in the northern half of the county, which includes 40 miles of county roads and 33 miles of township roads. “We’ve done a lot more patching this year than in previous years and we think it’s a result of the winter,” Union County engineer Jeff Stauch said. Resurfacing work will take
Continued from page A1 60 percent of the Union County Health Department’s budget is funded by local levies, Orcena said. “If we did not have that levy, then a lot of the services that the community has been provided over the years would be greatly diminished or eliminated,” he explained. He said these services could include vaccination clinics and flu shots. The health department provides inspections of restaurants and pools with levy dollars. “The law requires a certain level of interaction for the community and that’s the most base level. We go above that level to try to ensure the safety and the health of our residents,” Orcena said. “We are dependent on that 0.5-mill levy to provide those kinds of services,” he added. According to Orcena, having the levy also makes it possible for the health department to obtain federal and state grants. “The levy not just provides direct services, but makes it possible for us to be competitive to bring other dollars into the community,” he said.

The district school board will choose an interim superintendent to serve until a new superintendent is named.

Board President Jeff Mabee said during the June 27 meeting the offer “is a very generous and an outstanding offer and effort on MEA’s part.” “Unfortunately, I don’t believe this board has had the opportunity to take the time to understand the overall effect of this contract,” Mabee said. According to Litzel, the board had more than a week to look into the offer and ask questions before the June 27 meeting. “We could’ve taken this offer back right then and there, but we still want to try to save our programs and save our teachers

If approved, the agreement would save nearly 40 positions that were due to be eliminated during the 2012-2013 school year, but will not save more than 20 others that will be cut for the next school year.

Union County farmers eligible for USDA assistance The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated Union County as a primary natural disaster area after flooding, excessive rain, high winds and tornadoes caused severe agricultural damage and losses to wheat and crops between Feb. 2 and March 23. Farmers in Union County are now eligible for low-interest emergency loans from the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), provided that eligibility requirements are met. The FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. “Agriculture is Ohio’s largest industry, and I am pleased that the USDA recognizes the need to help mitigate crop loss damages resulting from natural disasters,” state Sen. Karen Gillmor (R-Tiffin) said. Farmers have until Feb. 28, 2012 to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses.

Richwood man killed by falling tree Marysville Fire Department paramedics pronounced a man dead on Thursday, July 7, following a 911 call reporting that a tree had fallen on him, according to a Union County Sheriff’s Office statement. Upon responding to the call, deputies located a large tree, approximately three to four feet in diameter, on top of Charles R. Ellis, 64, of Richwood. Ellis was pronounced dead at the scene. The preliminary investigation revealed that Ellis and another man, Christopher D. St. Clair, were cutting trees in a wooded area near the intersection of Easton and Leeper Perkins roads and were having difficulty felling a large tree. According to the sheriff’s office, St. Clair walked
away from the area to get some additional cutting equipment when he heard the tree fall. He found Ellis lying underneath the fallen tree. St. Clair then dialed 911. Deputies, the Marysville Fire Department, the Leesburg Township Fire Department and the Allen Township Fire Department all responded to the scene. It look several hours to free Ellis, according to the statement. The Union County Coroner’s Office was called to the scene and is working in conjunction with the Union County Sheriff’s Office on the investigation. — Britany Byers

Just thinking
Taking care of business is an everyday chore No one can accuse me of letting my health responsibilities slide. In the last six weeks, I’ve undergone a colonoscopy, a bone density scan, and a mammogram, in addition to business-as-usual visits to the dentist and my ob/gyn. Oh, and I donated blood, which is like a health check in itself: blood pressure, temperature, iron level check and questions about Creutzfeld-Jacob disease and if I’m feeling well today. They do the same for you too, of course, if you donate; it’s a wonderful break from the hurly-burly world. In fact, the whole six weeks was slightly spa-like, not that that was my intention. Over the years, I’ve allowed myself to be gently prodded into making necessary appointments in the summer, and naturally, it’s summer when they come around again. Then there was the poison ivy that sent me to my family physician, who frankly seemed disappointed that I wasn’t the mass of leaking blisters he expected. In fact, my condition, while admittedly mild, would have been described as global were I a planet. Put another way, I reminded myself of nothing so much as a spotted pup, but this was difficult to convey while sitting fully dressed in an examination room. Still, my prescription for what turned out to be a soothing cream seems to be doing the job, though I do suspect that poison ivy is the inspiration for the carnival game Whack a Mole. You know, whack it here and it pops up there, whack it there and it pops up someplace else and so on. I must say, with all this preventive care going on I’ve been spending lots of time in the hospital lately, more than some surgeons, and because of that I’ve made a few observations. First, hospital workers are helpful. Should a person look even slightly confused for a fleeting moment, a passing worker will invariably offer assistance. What’s more, the passing worker can offer assistance. Instead of frowning and saying, “Bone density? Hmm … Sorry, I guess I can’t help you after all,” every last Who from the tall to the small is knowledgeable without even pausing at all. They point, direct, lead, even escort, or at least offer to escort with every semblance of sincerity.
Another thing. Radiologists cheerfully explain what they’re doing without being patronizing about it. MARGO They apoloBARTLETT gize for cold rooms and/or cold hands. The woman who did my mammogram just this morning told a story about learning to use ever-changing radiology equipment that was flat-out hilarious. (Oh, all right, I’ll tell it: The new equipment’s on/off switch was precisely where a light had been on the old machine. And although she tried to remember, she kept trying to turn on the light by hitting the switch on the underside of the platform … and shutting down the entire unit, which would then need several minutes to reboot.) It’s rare to hear myself barking with laughter in the middle of a mammogram, but I did today. I almost told my own story, of driving a new car whose headlights were precisely where the old car’s windshield wipers had been. So on a dark, rainy night, a night when I was driving my two daughters and several other women to southern Ohio for my younger daughter’s bachelorette party weekend in the woods, I continuously tried to adjust the windshield wipers by turning off the headlights. But don’t worry! They wouldn’t be off for more than half a sec-
ond, because everyone else in the car would set off an alarm the instant the road ahead plunged into darkness. “Sorry! Sorry!” I’d say, trying not to sound like a nitwit when it was obvious that I was one. I could just imagine my new best friend, the radiologist, saying “Sorry! Sorry!” as the digital mammography unit sank into a horrifying silence. For the third time. In fact, after all these weeks of running in and out of the hospital as if I were delivering babies in there, I have just one tiny … not a complaint, really. It was more the kind of thing some people take pictures of to send to their friends. I never think of that in time, so I’ll have to describe it instead: In the hospital’s long, wide entrance hallway, which is covered in beautiful wood, or maybe in beautiful not-wood, was one of those square utilitarian mats. The mat wasn’t near a threshold, or near a wet spot or near anything, really. It seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. On the mat was a squat plastic sign. “Trip hazard,” the sign said. I looked at the mat, and I looked at the sign. If the mat was a trip hazard, why not just pick it up? That’s what I wondered. I didn’t know the answer. But I suppose that’s because, for all the time I’ve been spending at the hospital, I’m not really a doctor. Margo Bartlett may be reached at mbartlett@ thisweeknews.com.

AJGA’s Columbus Junior returns to Scarlet Monarchs’ Fraser among area girls competitors By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The eighth Columbus Junior presented by the Memorial Tournament will be held Tuesday, July 12, through Thursday, July 14, at the Ohio State Golf Club Scarlet Course. It is the third time that the Ameri-
can Junior Golf Association (AJGA) event will be played on the Scarlet Course after stops in 2004 and 2009. The Columbus Junior has been held at four venues, also including Dornoch Golf Club (2005-06), Tartan Fields (2008) and the County Club at Muirfield Village (2007, 2010). Last year, Nicholas Grubnich of Crown Point, Ind., shot a 6-under-par 210 and survived five playoff holes to win the boys division and Lindsey Weaver of Scottsdale, Ariz., posted an 11-under 205 to cruise to a 12-stroke victory in the girls division. Neither
player will be in the field this season. There are 18 central Ohio players scheduled to take part in the 84-player field, which features top junior players (ages 12-18) from 16 states, Canada and Colombia. Area players on the boys side are Garrett Brickley (Pickerington), Alex Carpenter (Westerville), Thomas Dunne (Dublin), Joo-Young Lee (Hilliard), Matthew Moosavian (Westerville), Mert Selamet (Dublin), David Shepherd (Dublin), Blake Stewart (Dublin), Drew Thompson (Pickerington) and Nate Yankovich (Blacklick).
Dunne (Dublin Coffman), Carpenter (St. Charles), Lee (Hilliard Darby), Thompson (Pickerington North) and Yankovich (St. Charles) all competed in the event last season. Carpenter was one of three others who joined Grubnich in the playoff after all four finished with 210s. Dunne (215) tied for 15th, Lee (219) tied for 33rd, Thompson (221) was 37th and Yankovich (222) tied for 38th. “My goal is to finish in the top five,” said Thompson, a 2011 graduate who will play for Guilford College (Greensboro, N.C.), which is a highly ranked
NCAA Division III program. “It will be my sixth AJGA event this season, it’s on a fun course and I’ve been playing pretty well.” Yankovich, who will be a senior in the fall, is familiar with the Scarlet Course after playing in the state tournament with the Cardinals the past two seasons. St. Charles won the title both seasons and Yankovich tied for second (75) in the tournament in 2009, when rain canceled the second round. Last season he tied for 10th (155) and See GOLF, page A6
Commentary
Strong mindset key for athletes Ask any athlete, at any level, about the importance of the mental side of sports and he or she will say that believing in oneself is critical to success. This week, the central Ohio high school student-athletes in my summer series talk about how self-conLARRY fidence imLARSON pacts their performance. Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Confidence is one of the most vital things to have when playing a sport. If you don’t believe in yourself then you will never reach your full potential.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “If you don’t believe in yourself, your body will do what your mind thinks, so you won’t progress. Just like my coach says, ‘Your body is stupid and it is up to your mind.’” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I was told, ‘If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,’ and it seems to be that every time I thought that way, it happened.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “You absolutely have to be confident in yourself and in your ability to perform under pressure.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I think it is important to believe in yourself and have confidence, but never be cocky and arrogant. Teammates are the most important part in sports and without each and every teammate I would have never achieved anything.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “If you don’t think you can do it, you won’t be able to do it. If you don’t believe in your abilities, nobody else will either. You shouldn’t rely on others to build that confidence. It has to be you believing in yourself.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley football and wrestling: “One can only perform to their own expectations. If they expect highly of themselves and know they can perform highly then they will perform highly.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Self-confidence gives me comfort and makes me achieve what I want to achieve. I believe in what I do and know I can do it, which is why I trust my game and just go out and compete.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Self-confidence is huge when it is time to perform. If you don’t have any self-confidence then you’re out of luck and you are going to have a lot of trouble trying to do what you want to do.” Next week, the student-athletes will tell you about the qualities they like best in a coach. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

Cal Adams spent 39 years in the Marysville school district, including the past 21 as the Monarchs’ athletics director, before retiring June 30.
Monarchs flourished under Adams By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Cal Adams said he has fond memories of his career at Marysville High School, but “it’s time to go.” Adams announced his retirement as athletics director on May 9, although his final day was June 30. He said he will remain available to assist incoming athletics director Joe Bline. “I’ve been in the district for 39 years,” Adams said. “I want the district to do as well as it possibly can. I have nothing but high hopes and I will help him any way I can.” Adams said he had been considering
retirement for the past two years and decided that the end of this past school year was the appropriate time. Adams, 60, had served as athletics director since 1990. Before that, he was a teacher in the business education department at Marysville for 18 years. “I’ve been in the business for 39 years. It’s kind of hard to walk away, especially when you’re having a good time, but when it’s time to go, it’s time to go,” Adams said. Adams’ promotion to athletics director came in conjunction with the opening of the high school building in 1990. He was behind the formation of the girls soccer, girls golf and swim-
ming programs, and he helped form several freshman sports programs at the school. Adams said other highlights included the football program’s move from Division II to Division I in 2005 and playing host to its first football postseason game in 2000. The 2000 football team reached a Division II state semifinal, where it lost to Piqua 18-7 to finish 13-1. “There are a lot of good memories,” Adams said. “Hosting the first football playoff game was a huge thing for us, pulling that off. I thought it went really well.” Adams quickly earned the respect of
the other athletics directors in the area and his coaching staff, said track and field coach Jim Gannon, who joined the Marysville staff in Adams’ first year as AD. “Cal always did a great job of supporting all the programs, including girls track and boys track,” Gannon said. “I’m sure there have been a large number of programs added during his tenure, which speaks a lot to his leadership and also an upgrade in the facilities as far as getting the soccer team its own fields and getting a locker room at the stadium. His legacy is well marked. We’re See ADAMS, page A6
Top Individual Performances: Nos. 6-10
Area athletes’ dominance remembered From staff reports Whether they set a state record, put together a stellar performance or accomplished a feat that hasn’t stopped wowing us, central Ohio athletes have created indelible memories for followers of high school sports. After chronicling “20 Years of Upsets” in 2009 and the “Most Dominating Teams” last summer, for our third annual summer series we set out to find the “Top Individual Performances” of the ThisWeek Community Newspapers era that began 22 years ago. Discussions were held among the staff at ThisWeek, as well as with our colleague Steve Blackledge from The Columbus Dispatch, and we arrived at a top 10 along with 10 honorable mentions. Beginning July 14, we will run a retrospective article on each of the top five performances, with one story running each week until we finish on Aug. 11 with what we consider the top individual performance. So what makes one performance stand higher than another? One key factor in the rankings dealt with the stage on which it occurred. Performances that hap-
because she broke the state record in the girls 100 meters and also added a title in the 200 in the 2000 state meet. Without further ado, below are Nos. 10-6 of the top individual performances of the past 22 years, with an honorable mention list in the accompanying box: Maurice Hall, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 7516 to earn the City League-Red Division title and a Division II playoff berth as the senior and future Ohio State running back rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. He had six first-half touchdowns and added scoring runs of 57 and 71 yards in the second half. LaToya Turner, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final and exact revenge for a painful defeat with

Maurice Hall (22), a 2001 Brookhaven graduate, had a game for the ages when he rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries in a 75-16 victory over Briggs in a City League-Red Division game on Oct. 27, 2000.
pened late in the postseason against tough opposition were given extra credit. B.J. Mullens of Canal Winchester scored 62 points during a 2008 regular-season game, but Charles Johnson ranks ahead of
that for his 57-point game that helped Watkins Memorial upset a state-ranked team in the 1995 Division II district tournament. Also considered was whether the athlete performed spectacularly in more than one aspect dur-
ing the game or meet in question. For example, Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship set a state-meet record when he won the Division I boys pole vault championship last month, but Brookhaven’s Khalilah Carpenter ranks higher

ADAMS helps,� he said. “It makes it worth the long hours you put in." He also has some advice for his successor. "You have to get a running start," Adams said. "There isn't an easy way for a new person to come in and get acclimated to everything. He's going to be a busy person." Adams added that he always will be a fan of Marysville athletics. He plans to spend more time with his family, including his wife, Belinda, and grandchildren who live in Powell and Harrisburg, Pa. “I told the staff that I’ll probably be at a lot of events. I just won’t come as early or stay as late,� Adams said. “I still plan on being around a lot.�

Honorable mention JAKE BLANKENSHIP, Gahanna boys track and field (June 4, 2011) — The junior cleared 17 feet in the pole vault to capture the Division I state championship. That set the state-meet record in the event and helped him win a yearlong battle with Olentangy Liberty twin brothers Joey and Chris Uhle, who took second and third, respectively. TROY BOWERS, Westerville South wrestling (March 4-6, 1999) — A broken hand sidelined him for a month of the regular season, but Bowers went on to pin three of his four opponents at state and win the Division I title at heavyweight. In the final, Bowers pinned future NFL player Alex Stepanovich of Berea in 1:03. CLAIRE DURKIN, Worthington Kilbourne girls cross country (Nov. 3, 2007) — Durkin completed a stellar prep career by winning the state championship in 17:10.5.

MINDY HAMMOND, DeSales girls soccer (Nov. 5, 1997) — During a state semifinal against defending champion Chagrin Falls, the senior goalkeeper made a diving save to preserve a one-goal lead with 17:38 remaining.
