District may restructure HR position By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The New Albany-Plain Local School District plans to restructure its position of human-resources director following the departure of Cara Riddel. “I attempted to take this opportunity to have a position or an individual replaced and stepped back and asked if we should replace the individual as the position was currently structured,” Superintendent April Domine said July 11
at the school board’s work session and special meeting. Riddel left the district in June to become superintendent of Westfall Local Schools in Williamsport, Ohio. Domine said she determined the position could be restructured to better serve the district. “I thought this was an opportunity to broaden responsibility and to make this person really a second-in-command,” she said. She suggested the board agree to hire
a “chief of innovation, improvement and human capital.” The person would report directly to her and would be in charge of the principals, the director of teaching and learning, the special-education supervisor, the director of communications and would share administration of the technology coordinator with the director of operations. During the meeting, board member Mike Klein asked if the person in the new position would act in Domine’s place if she were away. Domine said
that was her intention. To begin the process, Domine requested she be permitted to begin advertising immediately for the position. Board members agreed. The board still must vote to change the position’s title and duties and approve a new job description and a new administrative organizational chart. The board is expected to consider those decisions at the July 25 regular board meeting. Domine said the district could help streamline part of the duties of the for-
mer position by using software to help with human-resources duties. The director of operations could take over some of the compliance and regulation that was being done by Riddel, such as workers’ compensation management and reporting for the Family and Medical Leave Act. “That would free up some time to provide a much broader educational focus,” Domine said.

City drops objection to liquor-permit renewal By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers New Albany City Council agreed July 5 to rescind its earlier objections to a liquor permit at 9765 Johnstown Road and allow a potential new restaurant at the site. “I think we should consider revoking our objection to a (license) renewal,” city attorney Mitch Banchefsky told council at the July 5 meeting. Council approved a motion 5-0 to revoke its objections to the liquor permit. Mayor Nancy Ferguson and Chris Wolfe were absent. Council had approved a resolution in December to contest the liquor permit for the Three Ami-
The New Albany Community Foundation is trying to raise $600,000 through fundraisers this year to support community programming. The largest of those fundraisers, November’s “A Remarkable Evening,” will feature Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state and national security adviser to President George W. Bush. “A Remarkable Evening” is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 17, at the estate of Leslie and Abigail Wexner in New Albany. Proceeds from ticket sales — $1,000 per person or Condoleezza $10,000 for a table of 10 guests — Rice go directly to the foundation. “We have four areas of importance: education, arts, health and environment,” said Craig Mohre, executive director of the foundation. “Primarily, our grants are used for those four areas.” Last year’s “A Remarkable Evening” netted $500,000. It featured James Bradley, author of “Flags of Our Fathers,” the true story of six young soldiers who raised the American flag on Iwo Jima during World War II. One of them was Bradley’s father. The funds from the event supported the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts’ series of events,
gos restaurant in the strip center at 9765 Johnstown Road. Three Amigos, owned and operated by Domingos Tios LLC, has since closed after being evicted in June by Capital Square Limited, the property’s leasing agent. At a hearing held June 6 before the Ohio Liquor Commission, the city requested the commission hold its decision, pending negotiations with Capital Square Limited. Banchefsky told council July 5 that Capital Square Limited has agreed not to lease the space to any of the former occupants from Domingos Tios. “We’ve been assured in writing and verbally,” he said.
Banchefsky said if the city had allowed the Ohio Liquor Commission to render a decision, the liquor permit could have been suspended for one year. He said since it appears Capital Square Limited has a potential new tenant for the site, a suspension could have caused a problem. New Albany Police Chief Mark Chaney said the property owners seem to be doing their “due diligence” in finding a new business to operate on the site. A representative from Capital Square Limited declined to comment to ThisWeek and the
The proposed veterinary clinic at the northeast corner of Morse and Reynoldsburg-New Albany roads has been removed from a zoning-change request that twice was tabled by the New Albany Planning Commission. “The applicant has modified the conditional-use application since the last meeting to request only a conditional use for animal boarding facilities for the horse-boarding facility,” said the city’s staff report from June 20. “The conditional-use request for the animal hospitals or clinics has been withdrawn.” The property owner, One New Albany Farms LLC Bella Vista, chose to remove the veterinary use from the zoning application to be a good neighbor, See ZONING CHANGE, page A2

LIQUOR PERMIT Continued from page A1 company’s attorney, Brian Basil, did not return phone calls to ThisWeek. Council member Glyde Marsh asked what would happen to the agreement with Capital Square Limited if the building were sold and the leasing agent no longer managed the property. Banchefsky said if the liquor license were not suspended or revoked by the Ohio Liquor Commission, it would be valid for another year. At the end of that year, the city would again have the opportunity to contest the license renewal. Domingos Tios formerly operated Don Patron Mexican Restaurant at 9765 Johnstown Road. Don Patron was closed June 24, 2010, after a five-month investigation by an undercover New Albany police officer, who confirmed a tip that restaurant employees were selling drugs. The police department’s investigation culminated with a drug deal on the West Side of

Columbus, set up through the restaurant’s assistant manager. A raid on the restaurant followed. Nine people were arrested or detained in conjunction with the investigation: Three were arrested on felony drug trafficking charges, a fourth was charged with three counts of drug trafficking; a fifth was charged with two counts of kidnapping and gross sexual imposition; and a sixth was arrested for failure to report a crime. Three others were detained as potential illegal immigrants and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Three Amigos opened at the same site in August 2010, with some of the same owners from Domingos Tios. Shortly after the restaurant opened, an employee was involved in an accident in the parking lot, was identified by New Albany police as a potential illegal immigrant and was turned over to ICE.

Continued from page A1 said Brian Zets, an attorney from the Wiles, Boyle, Burkholder & Bringardner law firm, which is representing Bella Vista. “My client looked at what the neighbors were saying and clearly, they didn’t want the partial veterinary use at that site,” Zets said. The planning commission tabled the application in May and June at the request of the applicant. The commission is expected to hear the zoning-change application again Monday, July 18. New Albany City Council on July 5 tabled legislation that would change the zoning. Council typically does not act on zoning requests without a recommendation from the commission. Council could next consider the request at its Aug. 2 meeting. Residents of the subdivision have objected to the application at different public hearings because of the requested veterinary clinic. The application involves 12.275 acres at the southern end of the New Albany Farms subdivision. The property has a horse barn that was built for private use by Bobby Rahal when his family owned the property, which was sold in January, according to the Franklin County auditor’s office. The horse barn, which has an apartment above it, was on a parcel zoned for agricultural use. The other piece of the 12.275 acres has a house on it and is zoned residential. The zoning-change request is the same as the initial application. It would consolidate the two zoning designations into one limited agricultural district. The Wiles, Boyle, Burkholder & Bringardner law firm, on behalf of Bella Vista, is requesting the zoning change, which limits the number of residential homes on the site to one. It would allow for six horses to be boarded in the barn, which has six stalls, if the conditional use for animal boarding facilities were granted. Access would be provided to the property through a gate off Morse Road.
During her visit to New Albany, Rice also will speak to 700 local high school students at the McCoy center as part of a partnership between the New Albany Community Foundation and the local schools. “We’re grateful to the foundation for making these unique, enriching opportunities available to the students,” said Ric Stranges, New Albany High School principal. The New Albany Community Foundation was established in the mid-1990s and now has assets of more than $6 million. The organization is affiliated with the Columbus Foundation, which helps it cut costs, Mohre said. The Columbus Foundation handles the New Albany Community Foundation’s financial reporting, he said. It houses the funds, invests the funds and works with the auditors.

ARB approves three signs, tables a fourth By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The New Albany Architectural Review Board (ARB) approved signs for three businesses July 11, but a fourth business must provide more information to the board. The three signs approved were for Hair & Nails by Danyelle, Preferred Planning Services and the Cottage Salon and Dayspa. Hair & Nails by Danyelle is a tenant in the building at 227 E. Main St. The business owner wants to install a ground sign 12 feet from Main Street, according to staff reports. Because the building already has a ground sign, the business requires a waiver to have a second sign installed. Kathryn Meyer, New Albany’s deputy community development director, said the ARB approved the request as submitted. Preferred Planning Services is a new business in the New Albany Exchange building at 106 E. Main St. The business owner wants to install a sign with a black background instead of taupe, as previously approved for the building, which requires a waiver from the ARB. Meyer said the sign and waiver were approved with the condition that the letters on the sign be narrowed to be more proportionate. The sign also must line up with the edge of the windows on the building. The sign could exceed the 20-square-foot overall requirement, as long as it lines up with the windows.

The Cottage Salon, at 153 W. Granville St., also needs a new sign. The business owner requested a wall sign for the front of the building. ARB members approved the request with the condition that the existing ground sign be removed and the sign size be changed to 10 feet by 82 feet to match the width of the building’s windows. The sign will have a white background with brown letters and trim, Meyer said. A sign request from a fourth business was tabled July, pending more information, Meyer said. The New Albany Salon at 85 E. Main St. had requested permission to install another ground sign in front of the business or expand the existing sign. Meyer said city code only allows one ground sign for businesses in that area and the existing sign does not conform to code. Meyer said ARB members offered feedback on the proposal before tabling the application for a future meeting. In other business, a resident on Doran Drive in the Cedar Brook subdivision requested replacing a paved driveway with concrete, which is not permitted in that area, Meyer said. The ARB reviews waivers to the design guidelines for areas outside of the city center. Meyer said ARB members talked to the applicant but no formal application currently has been submitted. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

A message to district treasurer Brian Ramsay requesting the dollar amount of benefits earned was not returned by ThisWeek’s press time. According to the U.S. Department of Education and local resources that provide salary information, Domine said, the new position would require the dis-
trict to pay $12,000 to $16,000 more than that. “I’m very confident that we will be able to stay in the budget with other adjustments in hiring to cover the $10,000 increase overall,” Domine said. Board members said after the meeting they do not have an issue replacing the human-resources director with a new position that could command a higher salary. “We continue to be very stringent about our finances and expenditures,” said board member Natalie Matt. “We’re spending better, spending more strategi-
cally and more effective.” Board vice president Laura Kohler said the value “is clearly there. The scope of the responsibility is so much larger and wider than the old HR position. This will allow us to leverage April’s time and talents, as well.” Board president Mark Ryan said the board would not know how much it would have to pay for the position until interviews are complete, a candidate is chosen and salary negotiations begin. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Billings to attend Interlochen theater camp By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers Sometimes, a person can discover his or her passion purely by accident. That’s how 13-year-old Josh Billings found out he liked theater enough to pursue a career in it. Billings said he tried out for New Albany Middle School’s production of “Oh, What a Tangled Web” after joking with friends about it. But, after landing a part and performing, Billings found a passion that tied in with his interest in plays, movies and acting. “I realized I really had a talent for this type of stuff,” he said. To capitalize on his newfound passion, Billings said, he applied to the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp’s new theater program and was one of the 2,500 accepted.
“Out of people in 50 countries, only 2,500 get in,” he said. The summer camp in Michigan hosts students studying creative writing, dance, general arts, motion-picture arts, music, theater and visual arts, according to its website. Campers must be accepted via application to attend. Billings said he had to record two monologues for his audition: one serious and one comedic. He read a piece written for the Joker in the Batman comic series for his serious piece and a scene from the television show “Scrubs” for his comedic piece. He said he applied for Interlochen to learn new strategies and to “learn how to become a better actor.” His mother, Shirli Billings, said her son showed interest in theater from a very young age.

es at the Cleveland Playhouse and the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Theatre, he revealed a fascination with make-believe, but moreover, he showed an unusual ability to parrot back exact lines from performances as he acted out multiple roles,” she said. “In fact, his recall and unabashed re-enactments of some performances were so good, I considered permitting him to audition when he was 3 years old.” Billings said he hopes to find out at Interlochen whether he prefers comedic or serious roles. His favorite actor, Leslie Nielsen, began his career in serious roles and later found a niche in comedic parts. Billings said his favorite movie, “Airplane,” features Nielsen in one of his comedic roles. “He’s so versatile,” Billings said. Another of his favorite actors, Ben Af-

Billings said. Billings is participating in the intermediate theater program for students in grades six to nine. He will be “completely immersed in the exciting work of theatre and begin experimenting with the building blocks of performance,” according to the Interlochen website. In “Oh, What a Tangled Web,” Billings played the father of a girl whose death was faked, causing chaos. The play was the first in what many hope will become an annual program at the middle school. Billings, going into his eighth-grade year, said he could help by getting some of his friends involved in trying out for parts. “I’d like to always be a part of it,” he said. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Artist Todd Camp shows his wax painting, “The Sounds of the Symphony,” which will be used for the New Albany Symphony Orchestra’s marketing and promotional materials this season.
Camp’s art to promote local symphony orchestra By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The New Albany Symphony Orchestra has chosen this season’s guest artist: Todd Camp of Newark. Camp’s original piece, “The Sounds of the Symphony,” will be used in promotional and marketing materials and will be auctioned off at the end of the season to raise money for the symphony. The 2011-12 season begins in October and runs through April. “It’s kind of our face for the year,” said Heather Garner, executive director of the orchestra. “We use it on the front of our season program and incorporate it in all of our season ads and posters.” Camp grew up in Ashland and earned his bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Columbus College of Art and Design in 1985. After graduation, he began teaching art and eventually decided to work on it full time. He has since gone back to work after the birth of his first child and now serves as the education director of the King Arts Complex in Columbus. To create the piece for the symphony, Camp said he thought about what he hears in symphonic music: tympani, a French horn and a bassoon. The bassoon is a prominent instrument in the children’s story, “Peter and the Wolf,” which has stayed in his mind, he said. “It’s the sounds I hear and kind of what sound looks like to me,” he said of the painting. Camp combined several types of art in what he
says started out as a collage. Using old photographs of people with instruments and drawings of instruments, Camp placed those on the piece first, then covered them with raw beeswax that he infused with color from Crayola crayons. The use of wax is an old type of art called “encaustic” that dates back to the Egyptians. He continued to layer the piece, using circles of color and swatches of black and white to represent sound and instruments, such as piano keys. The wax gives the piece translucence and luminosity and makes it “beautiful and waxy,” Camp said. The layers add textures and give the piece a different look from various angles. “You keep discovering something new,” Camp said. “When you look at it, you see something that you haven’t seen before.” Garner said the symphony works with the Hayley Gallery of New Albany to choose an artist-inresidence each year. She said she has always admired Camp’s work, which is on display at the Hayley Gallery, and is glad to have him working with the symphony. As part of the residency, he will attend symphony performances and be available during other symphony events to talk to guests about his work, she said. The New Albany Symphony Orchestra was founded in 2007 by Garner and features more than 120 musicians from all over Ohio. lwince@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

North relay, Blankenship win national titles Cordell finishes second in 800 By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Former Westerville North High School track and field standouts Brian and Jeff Hannaford called winning the four-mile relay in the New Balance Outdoor Nationals a form of redemption. The Hannafords, who are fraternal
twins, teamed with fellow 2011 North graduate Ryan Weldon and North junior Jacob Dumford to win the race in 17 minutes, 38.17 seconds. The meet was held June 18 at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, N.C. Winners received a medal and a national championship ring. Brian Hannaford was returning to the track after a disappointing finish to his high school career. He was in position to win the 3,200 meters in the Division I state meet on June 4 at Ohio State when
he lost his right shoe with about four laps remaining. A competitor stepped on Hannaford’s heel about 600 meters into the race. He anchored the winning relay at nationals. “I wanted to redeem myself and prove to some people that I could do some good things,” he said. Jeff Hannaford, who ran the third leg of the race, missed his senior track season because of academic reasons. He also missed the cross country state meet last fall because of a disciplinary issue
unrelated to the sport. “I wanted to redeem myself at the national meet,” Jeff said. “It was awesome,” Brian said of running with his brother. “We had some high goals for the (spring) season in the (3,200 relay), so finally getting to race again was huge.” The Hannafords will continue their cross country and track careers at Ohio State, which they chose over Dayton. Dumford ran the opening leg at nationals and was followed by Weldon. “It was a good chance to run against
some pretty good competition,” Dumford said. Weldon hopes to walk on the track team at Ohio State. He chose the Buckeyes over a scholarship offer from Miami University. “We were really excited,” Weldon said. “We were just shooting to be AllAmericans, so winning was a huge shock. The car ride back to Ohio was awesome.” The top six finishers in each event See TRACK, page B2
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.

Jeff Backes, who was named Mr. Football the week of the 2000 Division I state final, rushed for 183 yards and had a game-saving interception in a 15-9 win over Solon.
Top Individual Performances: No. 5
Backes powered UA to state title By PATRICK DOLAN
Counting down to No. 1
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
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-
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. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24,
1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held.
on to play for Northwestern University. “But I was confident in my teammates and my own abilities.” Darrell Mayne, who was UA’s coach at the time, would have preferred the Mr. Football announcement to have been made after the championship game.
“As a coach, you don’t want one of your (players) to have that honor bestowed on them before a big game like that,” said Mayne, who coached the Bears from 1998-2004. “That just adds to the adrenaline flow of the opponent. But what Jeff did that game is a testament to his toughness be-
cause 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, reached the end zone in the second quarter but failed to convert the two-point conversion and trailed 8-6 at halftime. The Comets got the ball to start the second half but went three-andout, and the ensuing punt gave 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 outSee BACKES, page B2

Ohio Elite squad captures 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 sea-
son. 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’ two-run 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 10-2, the
Academy Stars of Buffalo 3-2 and Team New Era of Buffalo 16-5 in five innings. Ohio Elite received a championship Tshirt, 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-and-under team reached a semifinal but lost to the Lookouts of Alliance 4-1 on July 10 at Dublin Jerome.

Chuck Bolton of Westerville returns a shot July 9 during tournament play.
BACKES Continued from page B1 side 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 Scott Greenberg, who had lined up as a receiver, down the mid-
lare, who won two state doubles and two state singles titles for Kings Mills Kings High School from 2004-07. “They both have very good serves and return of serves. They knew what they were doing.” “They got the ball low at your toes consistently and put the pressure on,” Williams said. “The only thing you can do is serve better and not miss so many first serves. I missed too many first serves and that ended up being a big factor.” Because of low turnout, Wickertree canceled the women’s open in addition to the men’s 45 and men’s 55 divisions. That worked to the benefit of Witsken and Schiller. “We were glad that there weren’t that many teams because we are not young bucks anymore,” Witsken said. “It was 90 degrees and an on-court temperature of 120 degrees. That plays with your mind a little bit as well as your on-court abilities.”
emotional high and then we sit around for 45 minutes and we came out and didn’t play real well again. 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. Huesman not only was able to give his team valuable experience during the tournament, he also was able to showcase his complex at Jerome, where he is coach. “We have teams from all over the state, contiguous states and Canada coming over, and it’s always nice for them to see our facilities and what we have to offer,” Huesman said. 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.

BASEBALL dle 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.” 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 yards rushing and 44 touchdowns. 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
Continued from page B1 The Cobras advanced to the semifinal round with a comefrom-behind 5-4 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. 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

Eighteen years after he earned All-American honors for the University of Alabama men’s tennis team, Rick Witsken still is on top of his game. Witsken and Matt Schiller defeated 2011 Ohio State graduate Matt Allare and Buckeyes senior Steve Williams 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 in the men’s open final of the Bernard Master Tennis Classic on July 10. The two-day doubles tournament was held at the Wickertree Tennis Club in north Columbus. “I didn’t play for seven years. (Then two years ago) I played well in an individual tennis tournament,” said Witsken, who was one of four players who represented the United States in the Tony Trabert Cup in New Zealand last February. “All of a sudden it was like, ‘Wow, I think I can still do this.’ That kind of motivated me.” “Any time there’s a competitive tournament like this, you know you’re going to playing against
guys like these,” Schiller said. “It’s fun to see if I have any skills left. That’s the main reason I come.” Schiller, who lives in Carmel, Ind., and Witsken, who lives in Zionsville, Ind., also captured the men’s 35 title with a forfeit victory over Toledo’s James Kaser and Lima’s Jerome Moenter in the final. They received $800 apiece for winning the open title and an additional $200 each for winning the 35 championship. Witsken has played in the Bernard Master doubles tournament four times, winning the open division three times and finishing second the other time. Allare, who lives in Columbus, and Williams, of Manlius, N.Y., earned $400 each for reaching the open final while Moenter and Kaser each received $100 for finishing second in the 35 division. Allare and Williams struggled against the return game of Witsken and Schiller. “At Ohio State, we practice volleying quite a bit, but they knew how to volley as well,” said Al-
Legend Hills Orchard sixth (16-3/4). Joey will attend the Air Force Academy and Chris is a Virginia Tech recruit. Liberty tied for 60th (7) at nationals. Bryn Campbell, who will be a senior in the fall at Canal Winchester, finished sixth (195-2) in the boys hammer throw. New Albany graduate Taneisha Cordell finished second (2:09.9) in the 800 meters behind Kimberley Ficenec of Stafford, Va. (2:09.84). Cordell, who will compete at the University of Miami (Fla.), had won the event at state (2:07.35). Cordell, Mycah Mason, Mirra Galbreath and Lexi Simpson finished 17th (9:28.95) in the 3,200 relay. Mason graduated from New Albany in May, Galbreath will be a junior and Simpson will be a sophomore. Mason was 22nd (1:05.2) in the 400 hurdles. New Albany tied for 47th (8) behind the first-place Junior Striders (N.C.) Track Club (32). “What I believe this does is that it gives the girls exposure to the next level,” New Albany coach Otis Winston said. “Last year when I took Taneisha down as a junior, I ran into J.J. Clark, the head track coach at Tennessee, and I was able to tell him about Taneisha. Three months later, she was on an official visit to Tennessee, LSU, Illinois and Kentucky. It really got the ball rolling for us with her recruiting.”
were named All-Americans. North tied for 18th (10 points) behind the first-place Knightdale (N.C.) Track and Field Club (28). “The (relay) win was a fitting end to the high school careers of three of North’s most talented distance squad,” said track coach Johnny Jackson, who did not attend the meet. “We have had faster individual runners at North, but not as many at one time. They have been working toward this for the past two years, so it was nice to see that with a lot of skill and a little luck everything worked out as planned.” North distance coach Tom Brumlik attended the meet and coached the relay. Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship won the pole vault with an effort of 17 feet, 3/4 of an inch. Blankenship, who will be a senior in the fall, won the event at state by matching the state record of 17-0 set by Olentangy Liberty’s Joey Uhle. Blankenship, who competed unattached at nationals, tied for 18th with 10 points. “I was very excited on winning because I did not expect to win at all,” Blankenship said. “There were so many other vaulters vaulting higher than me. I was glad to take the national title, especially as a junior.” Uhle, who finished second (166) to Blankenship at state, also finished second (16-8 3/4) at nationals.

Bexley graduate making impact in Kenya By PAUL BATTERSON
a ball. “After growing up in Bexley, I realized I lived in a bubble. My friends who aren’t from here call Bexley ‘Pleasantville,’” Levey said. “Sometimes when I was coaching, I would have to step back and say, ‘Look at where you are. Look at the houses around you. Look at the environment you are in.’ “I was amazed by the amount of poverty over there, but because of the friendliness of the people, they didn’t seem that different from me.” Interest in the LCFL grew quickly in an area that offers little extracurricular activities for youth. However, creating fields and organizing the league took longer than Levey anticipated. “Everything in Kenya runs a lot slower than the USA. After the first week there, I realized I could only pick one thing to do each day,” Levey said. “Something that would take 15 to 30 minutes here takes three to six hours over there for some reason. “The happiest moment (of my time in Kenya) was probably the first day the league started. I was sitting there watching the U-12 teams play. This kid scored and he was mobbed in the corner by his teammates and they were imitating the things they’ve seen from (England’s) Wayne Rooney and all the other soccer stars. It kind of brought of tears to my eyes. That made all the hard work worth it.”

When he arrived in February in Likoni, a village of 100,000 people outside of Mombasa, Kenya, Ben Levey only knew how to count to 10 and say “hello” in Swahili. But the 2006 Bexley High School graduate quickly found a way to communicate with the children in the village — by playing soccer. Ben Levey “The passion for soccer over there is incredible. I have never seen anything like it before,” said Levey, who played for the Lions’ 2003 and 2005 Division II state championship teams. “It was an easy way to connect with the kids. “Passing the ball back and forth was so natural. There’s some sort of connection there. You feel like you’re friends all of a sudden.” While serving as a volunteer with Hatua Likoni, a community-based, non-government organization trying to alleviate poverty and promote education among the community’s youth, Levey became chairman of the Likoni Community Football League. The initial plan was to create a 14-team league, but the LCFL quickly grew to 20, 28 and then 30 teams. “Once coaches over there saw that I was serious and they saw the goalposts going up, they wanted to get involved,” Levey said. “I wanted to keep it small because
Ben Levey, a 2006 graduate of Bexley, works with residents near Mombasa, Kenya. Levey is the chairman of the Likoni Community Football League, which grew from its original plan of 14 teams to 30. “It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league,” Levey said.
I wanted to make sure everything ran smoothly, but it grew to 600 kids before I knew it. It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league.” Levey will play host to a fundraiser called “Kick Back 4 Kids” at 6 p.m. Monday, July 18, at the Bexley-area Old Bag of Nails, 18 North Nelson Road. Money from a silent auction as well as a portion of the proceeds from food and drink sales will go toward buying goalposts, nets, balls, jerseys and additional equipment for the LCFL.
Bexley boys soccer coach Greg Kullman said he’s not surprised that Levey’s idea grew so quickly. “Even as a sophomore on the 2003 team, Ben was a natural leader,” said Kullman, who was an assistant coach on that team. “He’s a hard worker and he gets those people around him to work together. “Ben worked with our freshman coach last year and we were hoping to have him back this season, but he’s decided the work he’s doing in Kenya is much need-
ed. I couldn’t argue with him.” Levey got involved with Hatua Likoni as a way of giving back. Hatua means “step forward” in Swahili, according to the organization’s website, www.hatualikoni.org. “At the end of my senior year at the University of Wisconsin, I decided I wanted to do something completely different,” Levey said. “I wanted to go to a foreign country and volunteer to do something before I started grad school.” Levey, who graduated from Wisconsin in spring 2010 with a
degree in biology, planned to begin pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy at the University of Pittsburgh in August, but he has pushed that back to next June. Levey, who returned from Kenya on May 15, said he plans to go back on Aug. 18 and will be there for at least three months, although he might extend that. Levey said was taken aback by the poverty he saw in Kenya, which is located on Africa’s eastern coast.

Understanding and Easing the Pain TMDs, or temporomandibular disorders, can cause a number of symptoms that can mimic other illnesses. You may have a TMD, any one of a number of problems involving the chewing muscles, the jaw joint (the temporomandibular joint or TMJ), or both. Symptoms can include the following: • Unusual sounds (clicking, grinding or popping) that may or may not be accompanied by increased pain. • Locking or intermittent movement: The jaw joint, a ball-and-socket joint, may sometimes lock in an open position. Or if may be difficult to open your mouth because it feels locked or painful. • Ear pain: TMD may at first appear to be an ear infection, since TMD pain is usually felt in front of or below the ear. Be sure to talk with your dentist about these symptoms. There are a number of options to help reduce the pain. Splints, a common treatment, can worn at night to help allieviate clenching or grinding.
