Tabled vote cut into district’s savings By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A divided Marysville Board of Education voted 3-2 on July 8 to extend a contract with the Marysville Education Association through June 30, 2013. Within the terms of the contract, teachers will forgo a scheduled 1-percent pay
increase and keep their salary schedule the same as the 2010-11 school year. They will also forgo scheduled step increases for the school years of 2011-12 and 201213, saving the district an estimated $2.5 million. Because of the June 30 deadline to submit salary notices to the state, the board’s decision to table action on the MEA’s
offer at the June 27 meeting dropped the district’s total savings by $150,000 to $200,000, according to treasurer/CFO Cindy Ritter. The original proposal from the union called for freezing classified and administrator step increases and salary schedules for the 2011-12 and 2012-2013 school years. Since classified step increases went
into effect on June 30, the board modified the item and passed a salary freeze for classified and administrative staff for the 2011-12 school year with a 5-0 vote. “Once the step increases go into effect, we, by law, can’t really roll those back,” board president Jeff Mabee said. “Since the MEA is taking a 1-percent decrease, we can uniformly apply that to our clas-
sified and administrator staff.” According to Ritter, the district will have to pay its classified and administrative staff the 1-percent increase for the eight days the new contract was in place prior to the board’s decision. “The people that work year around — See TABLED VOTE CUT, page A2

Union County Fair begins July 24 By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
This year’s Union County Fair will be one day shorter than previous years but will include just as many activities, marketing director Maggie Long said. The fair begins Sunday, July 24, and will continue at the county fairgrounds in Marysville through Saturday, July 30. Admission is $6 for ages 6 and older, with free parking and access to grandstand activities. Long estimates this year’s attendance will be between 35,000 and 45,000 people. “It’s an event for the community,” she said. “It’s something that we put on to keep the people of Marysville engaged in what’s happening in the agricultural community.” Long encourages the community to come out and support local students in their livestock activities. “I think that it’s a great place for family fun,” she said. “There’s something for everyone in the family, with lots of different interests to do.” Sunday will consist mostly of
As of Monday, Aug. 1, Honda will resume full daily production at all of its Ohio plants, a key step in the company’s recovery from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. “This is very good news,” media relations manager Ron Lietzke said. “It’s really been possible through the efforts of a lot of people of Honda, associates here in North America as well as back in Japan, to get the parts flow re-established for some of those critical parts that come from Japan. “It’s just been a really big effort to get the supply chain operating again,” he added. Lietzke said the company informed workers there will be some overtime scheduled to help replenish the inventory of vehicles at dealerships. “With the reduced production levels, the inventories have gone down as well,” he said. “We’ll be working as quickly as possible in our own plants but also with our suppliers to replenish the supply of vehicles as quickly as possible.” The Marysville auto plant, which manufactures the Honda Acura RDX, Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan and Acura TL Sedan, employs about 4,200 associates and has an annual production capacity of about 440,000 vehicles. “Honda has such a huge impact on our economy and has such a large workforce that comes from Union County,” Phillips said. “So it’s great news what’s happening with Honda and great news for our community,” Eric Phillips, Union County Chamber of Commerce CEO, said.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has named former Marysville Mayor Christiane Schmenk, general counsel of the Ohio Department of Development (ODD), to be the department’s new director. Schmenk will lead efforts to reorganize the department as the Christiane state’s economic development Schmenk makes the transition to the new nonprofit private corporation, JobsOhio. Schmenk’s appointment is effective Aug. 1. She replaces James Leftwich, who will return to the private sector. “I’m grateful to Jim for coming to Ohio’s aid when we needed him and for helping shepherd the department at a critical time,” Kasich said. “Chris now takes the baton and will help prepare the department for its next phase. “I’m confident in her ability to help support the department’s staff during a time of change and prepare the department for its new role in service to Ohio and its economy.” The legislation creating JobsOhio requires the administration to issue a proposal by mid-August that outlines the future organization of the department. Schmenk will oversee the drafting of that proposal and play a leadership role in its implementation going forward. “One thing I have learned since I came on board here … is it is an organization that handles economic development and community development See SCHMENK, page A2

MEA president Juliet Litzel said she was surprised by the 3-2 vote. “We had the two no votes, which I don’t understand,” Litzel said. “It’s a lot of money that we’re saving them over two years.” Litzel said that throughout the process of finding ways to save the district money, the MEA was thinking, “What can the teachers do?”
“We knew that we could help the situation,” Litzel said. “We’ve earned this money, we’ve bargained this, but we’re offering to give it back to help get out of this hole. That’s our way to help. “I’m thrilled that it passed,” she said. “It’s a good thing for the district and it’s what our members wanted.” Lassiter said that by looking at the five-year forecast, this contract

We didn’t have to negotiate until our contract was up … Dec. 31,” Litzel said. “That’s why we didn’t do any formal type of negotiation.” Lassiter said he “would’ve much rather have gone through the negotiation process so that the board could have sat down and said,

Schmenk said it is an honor to be appointed to director of the ODD. “It’s something that brings together my various past experiences both in private industry and in the public sector in Marysville, as well as working on local economic development that I had done through the Union County Chamber of
Commerce,” she said. Although Schmenk didn’t have this role as part of her career plan, she said she was inspired by Gov. Kasich and his plan to turn Ohio’s economy around. “I remember being in a crowd and him kind of looking at each one of us and saying, ‘You all need to step up and help the state,’” she said. “That is really what I heard him say and what I took to heart.” “Ohio has really gone through so much and I think we’re at a critical point,” Schmenk said. “I’m really going to try to hit the ground running.” Schmenk, 52, has served as chief legal counsel for the ODD since March. Prior to that, she served as mayor of Marysville and director of external affairs for the Scott’s Miracle-Gro Co.

Burke replaces Gillmor as state senator By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Ohio Senate on July 14 appointed Republican Dave Burke of Marysville to the Ohio Senate to replace Karen Gillmor as the 26th Senate District representative.
Gillmor (R-Tiffin), resigned her Senate seat to accept a nomination by Ohio Gov. John Kasich to become chairperson of the Industrial Commission of Ohio. The appointment means Burke will leave his seat in the Ohio House, where he represents the 83rd District.
The 26th Senate District includes Crawford, Logan, Marion, Sandusky, Union and Wyandot counties as well as portions of Ottawa and Seneca counties. “It is an honor to join the Ohio Senate and I am grateful to have this opportunity to serve the people of the 26th Senate District,� Burke said. “I plan to
continue to focus my legislative efforts on job creation, education and health care as we work to create a flourishing economy in Ohio that will benefit all of Ohio’s families.� Gillmor said she is “excited to work alongside Gov. Kasich as we endeavor to modernize Ohio’s arcane workers’
compensation laws, but will certainly miss serving with my friends in the Ohio Senate.� Burke served as chairman of the Health and Human Services Subcommittee of the House Finance Committee. He also served a term as vice president of Marysville City Council.
Summer theater group presents ‘Grease’ July 22-24 By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Local theater group Encore! Union County is preparing to bring the well-known musical “Grease� to stage this summer. Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. July 22-23 and 3 p.m. July 24 at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium, 266 W. Sixth St., in Marysville. Encore! was formed in 2009 by a group of local parents who wanted to provide a venue for their children to display their talents while promoting community service and keeping them active during the summer, said Pam Klaus, one of the show’s producers. “We realized our children were aging out of the local program
here called Summer Theatre Workshop, which only goes up to high school,� Klaus said. With high schools and colleges offering theater activities during the school year, Encore! was established to fill the gap during the summer, she said. After successful productions of “Footloose� in 2009 and “Guys and Dolls� in 2010, the group selected “Grease� for this year’s production. It will showcase the talents of nearly 60 students from three different high schools and two colleges, with ages ranging from 14 to 20. Erik Klaus, a junior at Marysville High School, will portray Danny Zuko. He said he enjoys the fact that Encore! brings together students with different

The actors have taken a large role in developing the show, including being in charge of finding their own costumes. “It’s been really fun to be able to build the show with the kids,� Garrett said, as opposed to the directors telling the actors what to do.

New fire, police stations, municipal court on schedule By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Plans to construct a new fire station, along with a police and municipal court building, are going according to schedule, Marysville city staff members said June 11 during a public safety committee meeting. Once the buildings are complete, Marysville’s police and municipal court operations will be relocated, while the new fire station will serve in addition to the current station in Uptown. Division of Police/Municipal Court The new facility will be built on city-owned land at the northeastern corner of West Fifth Street and Raymond Road. Designed by Dublin-based Horne & King Architects, the facility will take up about 48,000 square feet on the 16 acres of land. According to city engineer Valerie Klingman, Marysville is looking to bid the project on Aug. 23, open bids the last week of September and start construction in mid-October. “Everything is moving right along,” she said. “We’re just doing all the final tidying up stuff; looking at furniture and what can we take from this building to that building … (and) what they can reuse to help save some costs.” The city is looking to bid the building’s proficiency and qualification center, which contains the armory and firing range, as an alternate, Klingman said The estimated total cost of the new building, including moving costs, is $13.2 million. Klingman
said she expects the cost to increase a little due to changes that have been incorporated. “We’re currently working on the vacation of Raymond Road, to get the old road vacated, which goes underneath the building,” she said. The first reading for legislation authorizing the city to vacate Raymond Road went before Marysville City Council at its July 14 meeting. Klingman said the city will be doing a lot of consolidation because the building sits on three parcels. The city will combine the parcels so that the building is built on only one parcel. “Once we do all of that, we will dedicate the new Raymond Road, which never was dedicated … and define a right of way,” she said. The design of the new facility will keep prisoners and the public separate,Assistant Police Chief Glenn Nicol said. “The prisoners will never be exposed to walking through the public like they are now,” he said. According to Klingman, there are nearly 10 acres on the property available for expansion in the future. “We’re really excited,” Nicol said. “There’s enough room that we can reorganize the department a little bit as we grow.” County Home Road Fire Station The city is looking at a bid date of Aug. 15 for the new fire station, to be located at 16300 County Home Road, with the bid opening in mid-September and construction starting the first or second week of October,
Klingman said. “It’s moving right along and we don’t see any reason why it won’t make the Aug. 15 deadline,” Klingman said. “We’ve picked interior finishes for carpeting and those types of things, so they’re just doing the final nailing down the details of the construction documents to get it bid,” she said. The total cost estimate for the County Home Road station is $3.8 million, Klingman said. “We’re trying to save money wherever we can, but at the same time, we don’t want to cut our nose off to spite our face,” Fire Chief Gary Johnson said. “We’re trying to do things that are costeffective and make sense, but also take into consideration long-range issues.” “One of the other things we looked at, particularly in the fire station where they’re living there, is durable finishes — things that will be very durable that hopefully will give them a long life and not need replacement in five years,” Klingman said, explaining that the facility’s kitchen will have stainless steel countertops. Once the new station on County Home Road is operating, it will be dubbed Station 271 and the Main Street station will become Station 272. Renovations to the Main Street station are not moving along as quickly as the other two buildings because much will not happen until the new station is built, Klingman said. A final concept is still being developed, but the preliminary all-inclusive cost estimate for the station’s renovation is $2.1 million.

Man indicted for crash that killed Marysville girl By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A Logan County man who was involved in a May crash that killed a 14-year-old Marysville girl was indicted July 12 on eight charges. A Logan County grand jury indicted Christie Reames, 53, of West Mansfield, on six felony counts: two counts each of aggravated vehicular homicide, aggravated vehicular assault and vehicular assault.
Reames was also charged with two counts of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, a first-degree misdemeanor. Paige Horn, a freshman at Marysville High School, was in the back seat of her father’s car on May 15 when it was struck from behind by a 2002 Honda Odyssey minivan driven by Reames, pushing it into a bridge abutment on Route 33 near Route 540 east of Bellefontaine. She
was pronounced dead at the scene by the Logan County coroner. According to the State Highway Patrol crash report, Reames registered a 0.228-percent bloodalcohol level, nearly three times the amount for a person to be considered driving drunk in Ohio. Reames was scheduled to appear at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 15, in Logan County Common Pleas Court. Visit ThisWeekNews.com for updates on this story.

Encore! will be perform its final dress rehearsal to an audience of UCBDD clients.

Ohio Elite squad earns tournament title By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The ceremonial drenching — and the victory — must have been quite refreshing for Ohio Elite 14-and-under baseball coach David Lee. Ohio Elite beat the Ohio Force of Cincinnati 7-1 in the Buckeye Elite Showcase Tournament 14-and-under championship game on July 10 at Olentangy High School. As the team celebrated in the outfield on a hot afternoon, players poured a cooler of water over Lee.
Ohio Elite improved to 41-9 this season. Pitcher Brad Wilson, who will attend Northridge, pitched a complete game. He allowed six hits, struck out eight and walked one. “We’re starting to come together as a team,” Wilson said. “We’ve been having trouble the first couple of weeks, but everybody is starting to hit at the same time, everybody is fielding, all of our pitching is coming together. We’re coming together very well.” Cameron Comer’s RBI single scored Kyle Galyk with the game’s first run in
the fifth inning. “We just came out and hit the ball like we knew how to, played like we knew how to and we knew we’d win,” said Comer, who attends Olentangy Liberty. Ohio Elite added three runs in the sixth, highlighted by Tyrell Harris’ tworun single, and three runs in the seventh, with Comer delivering a two-run single. Second baseman Evan Lee, the coach’s son, made a key defensive play when he caught a line drive and doubled off Force leadoff batter Jordan
Ramey at third base in the fourth inning to keep the game scoreless. Ohio Elite advanced to the title game by beating the East Side Irish 18-5 in six innings, the Great Lakes Giants 102, the Academy Stars of Buffalo 3-2 and Team New Era of Buffalo 16-5 in five innings. Ohio Elite received a championship T-shirt, plaque and commemorative bat. “We’ve really peaked the last couple of weeks,” coach Lee said. “Brad pitched a complete game. We knew coming in he was one of our top pitchers. ... The best thing with our staff is we’re eight,
nine deep and they all throw.” •The Columbus Cobras 18-andunder team reached a semifinal but lost to the Lookouts of Alliance 4-1 on July 10 at Dublin Jerome. The Cobras advanced to the semifinal round with a come-from-behind 54 win over Steve’s Sports of Mayfield. Trailing 4-2 with two outs in the seventh inning, the Cobras’ Kendall Johnson hit a routine fly ball to left fielder Drew Teller, who dropped it, allowing the tying runs to score.

Commentary
Athletes describe ideal coach One of the most critical aspects in the development of a young person comes when an older individual provides a model on how to grow and be successful. While parents set the standard for influencing their daughters and sons, coaches can have an enormous impact on how student-athletes LARRY perceive themLARSON selves, how hard they want to work to get better and how they make adjustments when things go right or wrong. This week, the high school student-athletes writing in my summer series detail the qualities they like best in their coaches. Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “I like a coach whose top goals are not only the success of the team but also are geared towards the betterment of the athletes and people around him.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “I love having a coach who wants what is best for me and is willing to push me to be the best. It is also important that a coach is there for you on a bad day.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “To me, the key things for being a successful coach is knowledge of the sport and being patient with the athlete.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I like an intense coach who coaches me to improve every day and who knows the potential of his or her players and refuses to let them fall short.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “I like coaches who have a sense of humor and who are relaxed, but at the same time with that coach, you know you can’t slack off and always have to work hard.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “What is important to me is that a coach has experience in pole vaulting and has had multiple different inputs from other coaches and how to be successful in vaulting.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I like a coach that is laid back and easy going, but is always confident in their team and always wants to compete at the highest level of play.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “What is important to me is that a coach is willing to get you to be the best and puts time into your effort. Also, I like coaches who will help you prepare for the next level of your sport.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I like to see motivation and sometimes frustration from a coach because it shows that they care about their athletes and want to bring out the best in them.” Next week, the student-athletes will write about one of the vital crossroads in their careers: how to handle defeat and disappointment. I’ll see you at a game.

Joe Bline replaces Cal Adams as athletics director at Marysville. “Joe exceeded many of the criteria our stakeholders had indicated was important for the next AD,” Marysville principal Matt Chrispin said.
Marysville Athletics
Bline set to get started at Marysville By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Joe Bline believes his experiences in Newark, Johnstown, Dublin and St. Marys have prepared him for his first assignment as a Division I athletics director at Marysville High School. Bline, 43, replaces Cal Adams, who retired on June 30 after serving as Marysville’s athletics director for 21 years. Bline had been the AD at St. Marys Memorial since 2008. “I played at Newark and coached at Dublin Jerome,” said Bline, who graduated from Newark in 1986. “I know the OCC very well. It’s a little bit different responsibilities, different situation, but it’s all about people and getting along with peo-
ple and helping your coaches and players succeed.” After an extensive search, Marysville principal Matt Chrispin announced on June 28 that Bline would take over after Adams retired. “You just don’t take a day, read a few applications and replace someone with the quality and experience of Cal Adams,” Chrispin said. “Joe exceeded many of the criteria our stakeholders had indicated was important for the next AD. He has AD experience at a school renowned for its sports program. He was a highly successful head coach and he’s been trained as an educator.” Bline expects a smooth transition when he officially takes over on Aug. 1. “Marysville has jumped quickly from a
smaller school to a larger school,” Bline said. “They’ve had a lot of growth. I didn’t know Cal at all because I never really played Marysville when I was coaching, but everybody had great things to say about him. They said he would be leaving a very organized, disciplined program and I wouldn’t be stepping into a mess at all. Everything would be really well spelled out and taken care of.” Bline is credited with several accomplishments at St. Marys Memorial, including assisting in the development of new facilities, increasing tickets sales and developing a marketing and advertising plan. Bline also has enjoyed success as a coach at Jerome and Johnstown. He was the boys basketball coach at
Johnstown from 2003-07, compiling a 7618 record. Bline guided the Johnnies to three consecutive MBC titles beginning in 2003-04 and Division III district championships in the 2003-04 and 2005-06 seasons. Bline was named AP Ohio Division III and district Coach of the Year in 2003-04 and 2005-06. Bline also was the track and field coach at Johnstown from 2005-08, and a science teacher at Johnstown from 2003-08. Bline was the boys basketball coach at Jerome in the 2007-08 season, leading the Celtics to a 16-6 record and the OCC-Cardinal Division title. He was named Coach of the Year in the division.

Top Individual Performances: No. 5
Backes powered Golden Bears to state title By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
In the days leading up to the 2000 Division I state championship game between the Upper Arlington High School football team and Solon, Golden Bears running back and safety Jeff Backes was named Ohio’s Mr. Football. More than 10 years later, Backes admits that he felt some additional pressure to play well because of the award. However, he didn’t let the pressure get the best of him as he rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 15-9 victory on Dec. 2, 2000, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. UA finished 15-0 and became the first central Ohio team to win the big-school state title since the inception of the playoffs in 1972. “No other Mr. Football (honorees) had won the state championship, so in a way there was some added pressure,” said Backes, a 2001 UA graduate who went on to play for Northwestern University. “But I was confident in
testament to his toughness because he rose to that challenge. “It was a tremendous performance on his part. He had a great supporting cast, but nonetheless it was a great performance. Any time you rush for 180 yards in a Division I state championship game, I think that’s a superior performance.” Backes, who was 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds in his senior season at UA, opened the scoring in the championship game with a 15yard touchdown run with 8 minutes, 23 seconds left in the first quarter. The two-point conversion gave UA an 8-0 lead. On the touchdown run, Backes took the handoff from quarterback Brian Ramey on a draw play and broke a tackle by Solon safety Steve Watson at the 5-yard line. Solon, which finished 14-1, The Columbus Dispatch file photo reached the end zone in the second quarter but failed to convert Jeff Backes, who was named Mr. Football the week of the 2000 Division I state final, rushed for the two-point conversion and 183 yards and had a game-saving interception in a 15-9 win over Solon. trailed 8-6 at halftime.

Continued from page A7 UA the ball on its own 38. On the Bears’ first offensive play of the second half, Backes took the handoff from Ramey and ran to the right behind left tackle Simon Fraser and left guard Matt Lisi, both of whom pulled on the play. Backes got to the outside and outraced Solon linebacker Marc Leighton and Comets cornerbacks J.T. Staiger and Justin Bitner down the right side to the end zone for a 62-yard touchdown. The extra point by John Tarpy gave UA a 15-6 lead with 10:53 left in the third quarter. “It was a beautiful lead block by Simon Fraser, and Jeff popped it and went down the sideline,” Mayne said. “They weren’t going to catch him.” “Two linemen were pulling on the play,” Backes said. “We had an athletic line, which allowed us to do a lot of counter plays. (The linemen) made their blocks, and it turned into a footrace (to the end zone).” Solon cut the deficit to 15-9 on a 36-yard field goal by Tim Echan with 4:18 left in the third quarter but wouldn’t cross into Bears territory again until its final possession, which started from its own 30 with 1:40 remaining in the game. The Comets needed just five plays to reach the UA 22. Then, after an incomplete pass on first down, Solon quarterback Jay Price tried to hit running back
Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 6-10. Check back next week for No. 4 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com. NOS. 6-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touch-
Scott Greenberg, who had lined up as a receiver, down the middle of the field in the end zone. However, Backes stepped in front of Greenberg and intercepted the pass at the goal line, returning the ball to the UA 11 with 46 seconds left. “They were in a four-receiver set and were trying to stretch the field and get one of the seams,” Mayne said. “The quarterback put a little bit of a loft on the ball and right away I thought, ‘Man, I think Jeff will pick this off.’ Of course, he did, and he had the presence of mind to not try to be a hero and try to return it (for a touchdown).” “Someone turned to me in the huddle and said, ‘Make a play, Jeff,’” Backes said, “and a couple plays later, I made a read on the ball and the rest is history.”
downs 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 5135 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the freethrow 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.

UA’s offense came onto the field and, after two kneel-downs by Ramey, the game was over and the celebration began. “After Jeff scored (in the third quarter), from that point on, both sides couldn’t move the ball,” said Ramey, also a 2001 UA graduate. “Then, all of a sudden, (the Comets) go to the no-huddle offense and start moving the ball. You start to get nervous, but then out of nowhere (Backes) makes the interception. It was pandemonium on the sidelines.” During the postgame celebration, a UA fan held a sign that read, “Backes is God.” “He’s been telling us all year that the offensive line is his savior,” Lisi said after the game. “Tonight ... he was our savior.” Backes finished the 2000 season with a then-state record 3,353
1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held.

According to the OHSAA, he now ranks third in state history in rushing yards in a season, behind Bedford Chanel’s Tony Franklin (3,439) and Williamsburg’s Jason Bainum (3,386), both of whom surpassed his total in 2001. “He just continued to produce over and over again,” Ramey said of Backes. “It’s pretty amazing what he did (in the championship game).” Backes now is 28 years old and a third-year medical resident in orthopedic surgery at Mount Carmel West. He and his wife, Marissa, have two daughters — Leighton, 23 months, and Brooklyn, 7 months. pdolan@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

BASEBALL Continued from page A7 Gahanna graduate Josh Bokor, who recently completed his freshman season at Ohio State, singled to score Johnson with the winning run. Teller’s two-run double helped Steve’s Sports take a 3-0 lead in the fourth. Grove City graduate T.J. DeVore’s pinch-hit triple in the sixth scored Johnson and closed the Cobras to 3-2. Russ Hogue earned the win in relief. He then pitched a complete game against the Lookouts. “We were flat all day, even the first game, and then we put it together at the end,” Cobras coach Harry Huskey said. “We got our emotional high and then we sit around for 45 minutes and we came out and didn’t play real

The other team took advantage of our three errors and we only had four hits, so we didn’t deserve to win that game.” The Cobras are 35-6 heading into the Pastime Best of the Midwest Tournament at Wright State and the University of Dayton on Thursday, July 14. •The Ohio Elite 17-and-under team finished 2-1-1 in the 18and-under division. Ohio Elite opened the tournament with a 5-1 win over the Ohio Orioles Black before losing to North Canton 3-2. “It’s unfortunate that we didn’t get it done against North Canton, but that’s the nature of tournament play,” coach Chris Huesman said. “You have to win them to move on. We didn’t get that done.” Ohio Elite rebounded to beat
the JBR Rays of Green Bay (Wis.) 8-0. Hilliard Davidson’s Mike Scaglione allowed two hits, struck out five and walked one in a complete-game effort. Ohio Elite and the Columbus Cobras 17-and-under team were tied at 10 on July 9 at Granville when the game was suspended because of darkness. Ohio Elite opted not to return to Granville on July 10 to complete the game in the silver championship bracket. Other champions were the Stark County Terriers in the 18and-under division, the North Georgia Barons in the 16-andunder division and the North Coast Vipers in the 15-and-under division.
“I feel very lucky because I was able to coach some great kids,” Bline said. “Coming up through Newark, I was involved in a great program. We had a lot of talent at Johnstown and we were fortunate to have a lot of talent at Dublin Jerome. I feel very fortunate to have been able to coach some great kids and have some great programs.” Bline graduated from Kenyon College in 1990 and received his master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1991. He will complete an administration license this fall from Ashland University.

Community briefs Local dancers perform at Walt Disney World Nineteen dancers from Patty Beery’s School of Dance performed in the inaugural Dance the World event at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando this summer. The students, from Marysville, Richwood, Mt. Victory and Milford Center, danced in a parade performance at the Magic Kingdom. The dancers were also featured at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where they performed in a showcase of studio dances in the park’s Premiere Theatre auditorium. “I’m thrilled that we had the opportunity to dance in such a worldrenowned location and to give the students a memory of a lifetime,” Beery said. “Our dancers worked very hard to perform at such a premiere event and we’re proud of how much they’ve accomplished.”
The support group will have a booth at the Union County Fair in merchant building 2. Representatives will be available to help people sign up and answer questions. Membership is free and confidential. For more information, call Oscar Decker at 937-644-9242 or Ken Bonnell at 937-644-2674.
