Ad hoc committee
Tax changes, higher fees may be needed By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers An income tax increase, reducing current tax credits, raising service fees and possible personnel cuts, are among suggestions that may be part of a plan devised by an ad hoc committee to deal with Reynoldsburg’s financial situation. The committee has been meeting once a week since June 7. It is expected to make recommendations to Reynoldsburg City Council on July 11.
Along with city attorney Jed Hood, council president Bill Hills and city auditor Richard Harris, the group has been mulling over how the city can cover the projected $1.7 million it could lose in the next four years, based on calculations of the state budget. At its June 29 meeting, the main discussion focused on the possibility of an income tax increase and how the money generated would be used for city operations or capital improvements. The group agreed that other areas to
be considered in its recommendations are the city’s service fees and a possible reduction in the 100-percent tax credit residents who work and pay taxes outside Reynoldsburg currently receive. Harris said although the move to put a tax increase on the ballot would ultimately be up to city council, the committee can certainly make that suggestion. “You have seen throughout central Ohio in the last couple of years there’s been a number of tax increases that
have been passed,” Harris said. “Very few have had stipulations on them, but you can have stipulations on them.” Ad hoc committee chairman Brad Sprague said one reason he raised the question was because the group had earlier talked about labor negotiations “where it gets to the point where there’s an offer on the table and you go to a mediator and an arbitrator, and they look at the money that’s available and they make a decision and basically impose it upon the city.
“I assume their recommendations are based upon the amount of money that’s available, in their opinion, and if the voters have stipulated that a certain percentage of income tax increase is only available for capital improvements, that money would be off the table,” he said. Harris agreed that was a valid point. “I think if there was going to be a tax increase, that’s one of the decisions See AD HOC COMMITTEE, page A2
District receives $561,750 Race to the Top grant By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Reynoldsburg school district will receive a $561,750 grant from the Ohio Department of Education’s Race to the Top initiative. The district was among 45 schools statewide that were notified June 29 that they would share $16.2 million in funding that originated from the U.S. Department of Education. The disbursements were based on the districts’involvement in six different model programs. Reynoldsburg was awarded the grant for participation in an early college program offered to high school students. The other five programs are: advancement via individual determination (AVID); science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); the new technology network (New Tech); the Asia Society; and the Other Proven Models program. Money awarded to the schools in the Early College High School program will be dispersed over three years, beginning with the 2011-12 school year. This means Reynoldsburg will receive $187,250 per year for the next three years to further develop the four interest-based academies that will be launched this fall, district spokesperson Tricia Moore said. Those four are: business, education, leadership and law (BELL Academy); arts, communication and design (Encore Academy); environmental science, technology, engineering and math (eSTEM Academy); and health sciences and human services (HS 2 Academy). Moore said part of the grant money is to be used to work with EdWorks, a subsidiary of the KnowledgeWorks Foundation, to continue the planning and development process for the four academies. EdWorks works with public schools throughout the United States, offering the strategies, support and technical assistance to boost student achievement and opportunity. The grant money is particularly welcome because the district anticipates expenditure cuts of $3.7 million over the next two fiscal years — $2.4 million in FY2012 and another $1.3 million in FY2013, Moore said. “We’re very excited. Reynoldsburg has a pretty strong story to tell in terms of college and career readiness and the opportunities we’re bringing to our kids,” she said. “This grant will help us further those opportunities. This grant money helps ensure that we’re able to dedicate the comSee GRANT, page A2

Mexican restaurant adds Reynoldsburg location By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Las Margaritas Restaurante Mexicano & Cantina opened its sixth outlet May 31 in what was a City Books store at 6150 E. Main St. Company representative Chris Day said plans include a seventh restaurant in Lincoln Village on the West Side of Columbus in July and possible expansion into Lancaster. Day said the first Las Margaritas opened in Dublin in 2001. Besides its specialty — serving affordable authentic Mexican food and margaritas — the restaurant chain promotes a family atmosphere where kids can also have fun, Day said. Store manager Katie Mutchler, who has been with the company for five years, said the Reynoldsburg restaurant offers a full bar and hosts a “happy hour”
from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily, with $1 off bottled beer and half-price appetizers. Reynoldsburg development director Lucas Haire said Las Margaritas expands the diverse dining options offered in the area. “It’s great addition to the area … we just keep expanding and offering new choices to our residents,” Haire said. The complex where Las Margaritas is located was built four years ago and has seen a few businesses come and go since. City Books closed its doors in early July 2010, and before that, the space was occupied by a Starbucks that closed in 2008. Since Las Margaritas is a growing chain in central Ohio, Haire said it is likely the restaurant will do well in that location. Mutchler, who recently graduated from Capital University with a degree in business marketing and a minor in Spanish, said the company chose the new
location in Reynoldsburg because of the high visibility and traffic flow along East Main Street. Prices range from single a la carte dishes starting at $1.99 to lunch and dinner specialties ranging from about $3.99 up to $14.99, she said. One of the house specialties is the “Cazuelada” dish, which features a combination of steak, chicken and chorizo sausage sautéed with mushrooms, bell peppers, onions and topped with melted cheese, including Spanish rice and charro beans, Mutchler said. The restaurant has a front patio that can seat approximately three dozen customers and an interior dining room with space for at least 150, including the bar area, she said. Day said the restaurant also offers drop-off catering services for customers holding parties or special events. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

AD HOC COMMITTEE Continued from page A1 that’s going to have to be made prior to the time it’s placed on the ballot,” Sprague said. “What’s happened over time — and I’m not faulting anybody — the amount allocated to capital improvements has been whittled away, whereas this year, you’re putting 2 percent of the income tax into the capital fund, which is pretty close to equaling zero. “If you give a 1-percent tax increase and council decides, for whatever reason, to put it all in the general fund, they’d have a pretty huge balance and the capital items would still not be addressed,” Sprague said. Although the size of a possible tax increase was not specified, Sprague said there could be two ways to go: One would be to give city leaders the flexibility to do what they want with the total tax pot and the second would be to let voters stipulate
how they want the revenue to be used. Committee member Dave Reidel said from a voter’s perspective, it would be a question of either “what’s in it for me?” or “how is that going to be abused?” “On the one hand, if you restrict council and how they can allocate funds, then I think you’re putting somewhat of a crimp in the legislative process,” Reidel said. “I certainly wouldn’t want that in my business. On the other hand, council always has to be cognizant to the needs of the populace as well, within the constraints of the budget, and maybe there’s some happy medium there. “What we need to recommend as an ad hoc committee is what’s prudent from a business sense and still palatable to the voting public and that’s a tough balancing act,” he said. Hills said the city has done all it can with what it’s got. “Which is to the point now …
GRANT you can only shuffle that deck so far,” Hills added. “If there’s going to be a tax increase, it would be through a ballot issue which the voters would vote on. And that is the only way for that to happen.” Committee member Linda Smith said voters would want to know how the money from any tax increase would be spent. “I would also want to see what cuts were being made, or what additional cuts, so I think it’s going to be a hard sell to the citizens to raise the taxes or to request an increase without having specifics,” Smith said. “I’m not trying to tie the hands of city government but to be able to at least explain where this money is going to go … but looking over all the information over the past few weeks, there’s money going places that probably could be cut,” she said. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

In addition, he holds a special K-12 music five-year Ohio Department of Education license. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
Continued from page A1 “I’d like the kids to experience different genres of music. There’s classical band literature, pop literature … in the spring, we’ll do more of a pop-oriented concert. During the marching band (season), we’ll get to do some rock tunes and I think that’s important.” Overall, Gibson said the biggest thing about the band program is that it remains visible and involved with the community.

Police consider uniform switch
Buy photos on ThisWeekNEWS.com
By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Reynoldsburg Police Department is eyeing a switch to new uniforms that are not only easier to care for but cost less. Reynoldsburg community relations police officer Scott Manny, who also handles the department’s uniform and equipment detail, said eight officers who work different shifts are trying out the new uniforms now. If their response is favorable, the switch will be made in September. All 54 sworn officers currently wear dark wool-blend dress slacks with gray shirts, a look that hasn’t been changed since the early 1980s, Manny said. The new uniforms, officially called patrol duty uniforms, are all black. They are made of material that is 65 percent polyester and 35 percent cotton, and have more pockets. Manny said he has been researching a possible change for the past couple of years. “About three or four years ago, the manufacturer that makes the current shirt — the gray with the black pocket flaps and shoulder epaulets — discontinued that and went with an all gray shirt, so that limited us to one vendor and they would not stock the shirt,” he said. As a result, Manny said every time the department ordered a new uniform shirt, it had to wait for it to come from the manufacturer (Fechheimer) to the vendor (Roy Taylor’s Uniform Shop) and then had to pay extra to have the black pocket flaps sewn on. “So it was kind of a tag-team duo of price and availability,” he said. “We were waiting longer, we were paying more.” A company called 5.11 of Youngstown is providing the new uniforms. The shirts cost $36.50 each, compared to $57.95 each for the existing uniform. The new pants cost $38.99 a pair, compared to $74.95 a pair for the thick wool-blend slacks officers now wear. He said each officer hired gets five sets of uniforms. The proposed new uniforms can be washed and dried at home as opposed to the current uniforms, which are dry-clean only. Lt. Scott McKinley said the department hasn’t committed to getting new uniforms for

THIS BUG KILLS! Protect Your Ash Trees Call Mike Donley Today for a FREE Ash Tree Assessment The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic boring insect believed to have come from China. This bug was first discovered in 2002 in Southeast Michigan. With no natural enemies to contain its population, it spreads rapidly, attacks and kills ALL ash trees regardless of size or condition; 100% mortality rate! This bug only attacks ash trees. The EAB infestation of ash trees became apparent last year in Central Ohio. Extensive wood pecker damage, dead limbs in upper canopies and a flush of green sprouts in the lower canopies are the most obvious signs of likely EAB infestation. Generally speaking, from the first signs of infestation, trees die within 2-3 years if untreated. Should you decide to preserve your ash trees, field trials from Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue Universities have shown annually applied insecticides will protect ash trees effectively from the emerald ash borer. There are two primary recommendations to get most effective insecticide protection - Treating trees in the spring time (April-May) and treatments prior to infestation.

Commentary & opinion As it were
Modes of transportation evolve with growth of city by an “express wagon” service that was begun in 1854 to deliver packages and freight to all parts of the city and a “pygmy ED omnibus” service that was LENTZ begun by one Thomas Brockway in 1855. According to a local paper, a pygmy omnibus seated only four persons, and, “The ladies find them convenient for shopping and the beaux will not use anything else for evening parties.” That was the case at least until the more stylish hackney carriage or “hack” was introduced in Columbus during the Civil War. W. B. Hawkes had made his early fortune in the stagecoach business and now turned his attention to local transportation. His hack service was quite successful. As one local account reported, “... during the Rebellion, this species of vehicle did a thriving business. Money was plenty, officers and soldiers were prodigal of their funds, and the hack men got the benefit. A city ordinance fixed their compensation at 25 cents per passenger, yet one case came to the writer’s knowledge in which a driver charged and was paid $15 for less than 90 minutes time.” With this rapid growth, one might think that by the time Columbus reached the 1890s, it would have dozens of hacks and omnibuses. Yet there were only six omnibuses and about 30 hacks serving a city of more than 100,000 people. The reason for this lack of vehicles was the success of another mode of transportation.
On June 10, 1863, in the middle of the Civil War, a local paper reported that something new was on the streets of Columbus. “Yesterday, at a few minutes before noon, the first car passed over the street railroad, and of course it was the observed of the observable. In the afternoon and evening, a large number of passengers from the depot availed themselves of this easy mode of reaching the hotels. Today the remaining cars will be placed on the track and regular trips will be commenced.” Plans to build a streetcar line had been first proposed in 1854, but it took the arrival of large numbers of troops in town during the Civil War to move the project forward. Initially operating only on High Street and then on Broad Street, the horsedrawn streetcars would soon be joined by lines serving other parts of the city. By the 1890s, the streetcar lines had been electrified and consolidated into one unified Columbus Railway Power and Light Co. and Columbus was a city of “streetcar suburbs.”A local history from that time noted, “The project of building a belt railway for the transportation of freight and passengers — particularly freight — around the city has been many times proposed and sometimes definitely formulated during the past 10 or 15 years, but a positive undertaking it is yet in the future.” What was not foreseen in the 1890s was the rise of motor vehicles. When the “beltway” was completed, Interstate-270 would be the home of all sorts of vehicles. But none would run on rails. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Many people coming to Columbus for the first time from larger cities are astonished to find that there are few, if any, cabs to be easily found. And certainly, if one has been accustomed to find a cab waiting as soon as one stepped outside, Columbus is a bit disappointing. But in response, one should keep in mind that New York is a city of more than 8 million while Columbus’entire metro area is only a bit larger than 1 million. Perhaps when we are a city of 8 million, we will have a cab on every corner, as well. In the meantime, it would be well to point out that Columbus does have a lot of cabs. While most of them work the airport and most of the major hotels, it is not too terribly hard to get a cab to come to virtually any address in the city. Like most Midwestern cities, an extraordinarily large number are not needed. The majority of people living in central Ohio rely on cars or public transportation to get around and do not find themselves regularly in need of a cab to get from place to place. It’s been that way for quite some time. Columbus was brought into being to be the new state capital of Ohio in 1812. For much of its early history, there was little need for public transportation. With the arrival of the National Road and Ohio Canal in the early 1830s, the borough of Columbus soon had 5,000 residents and became the city of Columbus in 1834. But even then, the town still remained quite compact in size, with the boundaries of North Public Lane at what is now Nationwide Boulevard and South Public Lane at Livingston Avenue. One early account of the city’s history notes that if one were planning to leave town on a long journey, word was sent to the local stagecoach office and the stage stopped at one’s front door on the way out of town. Life was a little simpler in those days. The world became a little more cosmopolitan with the arrival of the first railroad into central Ohio in 1850. The Columbus and Xenia Railroad linked the capital city to the county seat of Greene County in southwest Ohio. Why build a railroad to Xenia? In Xenia, one might catch a train on a different railroad to Cincinnati, then the largest city in Ohio. And it should be pointed out that on its arrival in central Ohio, the Columbus and Xenia Railroad did not come all the way into Columbus. Lacking a bridge across the Scioto, the railroad stopped in the nearby village of Franklinton on the west side of the river. It was because of the arrival of the railroad that the need arose for a regular form of transport between the hotels of Columbus and the railroad station. On March 9, 1853, a local entrepreneur named B. O. Ream advertised an omnibus service that would run every hour in the day starting at 6:40 a.m. between the American House Hotel at State and High streets and the railroad station. With the completion of the Scioto River bridge, the omnibus service ran from the train station to all parts of the city. By 1867, nine omnibuses were in use. They were complemented

‘Preferred last line’ program
‘Etna’ appearing as default postal address By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The “preferred last line” mailing program adopted by Etna Township earlier this year has become effective, with one unexpected result, said township zoning administrator Chris Harkness. When the township economic development committee first began discussing the idea last fall, the hope was to use the program to promote an Etna Township identity by giving residents and businesses the choice of using Etna or the traditional city address, such as Pataskala or Reynoldsburg. In either case, the ZIP code remains the same. “The post office told us both addresses would be valid and you could continue to use either one, but the preferred last line would be Etna, so that would be the default,” Harkness said. Until June 14, officials believed that addresses would not change unless the addressees took the affirmative step of changing their address. It appears, however, that many companies that send regular mailings, such as utility companies and banks, are somehow using a post-office database to prepare bills and other mailings, so that the preferred last line is being used even if the addressee has not taken steps to change the address. “People are starting to get mail addressed as
Etna,” Harkness said. “We’re finding companies are linked into the post-office database, so that their addresses for customers are changing automatically to the default, which is Etna. I’m not sure how that is happening so fast (without action by the resident).” Harkness said he was worried when two people contacted him on the same day, but since then, no one else has raised the issue. “The two calls I had gotten are the only two,” Harkness said. “I’m going to look into it and see if there is anything we can do, to see what is going on and how this is occurring. “For this to happen as quickly as it has, with people not requesting it, I am assuming the companies are somehow linked into the post-office database and the address changes happen automatically.” Township officials had initially intended to adopt a pilot program, but post-office officials said it was impractical to make the change piecemeal, so it would have to be established throughout the township. “We don’t want to burden people with letters (from businesses about the address change), so we’re going to try to work with the post office to see how this is occurring and if there is any way to cut down on that (default change of address),” Harkness said. www.ThisWeekNews.com

Universal newborn screening tests, which are performed soon after birth, measure a baby’s ability to hear sounds at a few different frequencies. However, as effective as these mandatory screenings are, passing a newborn hearing test is not a guarantee against deafness. The potential problem is that infants may have some hearing at the time the test is administered but develop hearing loss in subsequent years. This finding comes from a recent study of children with cochlear implants, devices that transmit sound to the auditory nerve. Nearly one-third of the children with the implanted devices initially passed mandatory screening. With this in mind, a second round of screening one or two years later is suggested. Some babies are born with hearing problems while other children are born with normal hearing and begin to have hearing problems as they grow older. It’s important to know what to expect as your baby grows, because hearing problems can delay the development of voice, speech, and language skills. If you are concerned about your child’s hearing please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation.

Eagles U-16 defense falters in Regional Cup final By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
With defenders Gabby Byorth, Makenzie Costner, Nicole Hopkins and Haley Lehmkuhl and goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas leading the way, the Ohio Premier Eagles Under16 girls soccer team had shutouts in each of its first four Midwest Regional Cup games in Fox Cities, Wis. The defense wasn’t as strong in the final, when the Eagles allowed two goals in the first 12 minutes and lost to the Michigan Hawks 2-0 on June 29.
“We hadn’t given up a goal the entire tournament, so we were in shock when we gave up two so quickly,” coach Chris King said. “We conceded a soft goal off a corner kick seven minutes into the game and the kids were a bit taken aback by that. Five minutes later, one of their players took a bad touch on the ball, ran into one of our defenders and went down, and the ref bit on it and gave her a penalty kick, which they scored on.” The Eagles switched from a twoforward to a three-forward formation
in the second half, but the Hawks goalkeeper made saves on shots by Bailey Wilson, Emily Byorth and Lindsay Agnew. King said that his team’s 1-0 win over Eclipse Select of Illinois on penalty kicks in its final pool-play game on June 27 and its 4-0 victory over KCFC Force of Kansas in a semifinal on June 28 drained his players of much-needed energy heading into the final. “We had a tougher path to reach the final than the Hawks had and we just didn’t have enough left in the tank to
come back and beat them after we fell behind 2-0,” King said. “We pressed every ball in the second half and we had some good chances, but we couldn’t finish them. We had to beat two of the best teams in the nation the past two days just to make it here, and the Hawks weren’t really tested until they played us.” In the semifinal, the Eagles beat KCFC Force to avenge a 3-2 loss to the same team in a Regional Cup poolplay game a year ago. “They manhandled us on the field to knock us out of the tournament last
year, but we turned the tables on them and shocked them with how physical we were,” King said. Five minutes into the game, Hopkins stopped the ball from going over the Eagles’ goal line and cleared it to midfield. Playing into a strong wind, the Eagles battled to a scoreless tie at halftime. They then dominated the second half with the wind at their backs. Agnew scored three consecutive goals and Elise Jones scored with three See SOCCER, page B3
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.

Crawford making steady progress in competitions By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Meghan Crawford shows off three of the many awards she has won. “It’s fun to see how I’ve grown in the sport since I started two years ago,” she said.
When Meghan Crawford was 4 years old, her grandfather, George Thomas, gave her a video called “A Day With Horses.” She was mesmerized. Now, the senior-to-be at Reynoldsburg High School does more than watch horses on video. She works with them at Bookmark Farms in Pataskala. Crawford is preparing to compete in the New Vocations Charity Horse Show on July 30 and 31 in Delaware. “I just like being around the horses all the time,” Crawford said. “You make a lot of friends doing it. It’s fun to see how I’ve grown in the sport since I started two years ago.” Crawford has made steady progress
since her first Interscholastic Equestrian Association competition. At a typical competition, riders are judged on their horsemanship as they lead a horse through three of the four gaits of riding — the walk, the trot and the canter. Crawford only earned three points her first year of competing in what’s known as the flat class, in which there are no jumps or obstacles. “I was like the worst person on our team,” Crawford said with a laugh. “I wouldn’t say she was the worst,” said Jenn Hunkins, who coaches the Bookmark equestrian team. “She was a very nervous rider. She hadn’t done many shows before IEA, so she would get really nervous and wouldn’t ride well.” See CRAWFORD, page B2
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 Perfor-
mances” 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 happened 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 during 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 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

Many factors cause dip in area Legion teams By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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 LeagueRed Division game on Oct. 27, 2000.
TOP
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. The time set the state-meet record in Division I. 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. Three minutes later, she scored on a penalty kick to seal what would become a 3-0 win. JACK RAFFERTY, Dublin Coffman football (Oct. 31, 2003) — The senior quarterback who would become the district’s Player of the Year in Division I and the ThisWeek Super 25 captain threw for 152 yards and rushed for a school-record 285 yards with four touchdowns as the Shamrocks beat Marion
Continued from page B1 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 her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. They had lost to the Grizzlies in a 1997 state semifinal. 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. The Tigers beat Mason 4630 the next day to earn their sixth state title. Darcy Fishback, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — The 2009 Division I state meet in Canton was full of memories for this senior as she led the Golden Bears to their fifth consecutive team championship. 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).

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 state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the freethrow line. His point total broke the all-divisions district tournament scoring mark. Johnson added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists.
Harding 31-22 in their playoff opener. KRISTA KEIR, Westerville South girls track and field (June 6-7, 1997) — Two weeks after setting the state record in the discus (176-5), Keir threw 166-10 on June 6 to break the state-meet record. The next day, she threw 50-4 3/4 in the shot put to capture another title. WENDY LYONS, Westerville South girls tennis (Oct. 19-20, 1990) — Lyons capped a career in which she went 126-6 by losing just one set in the 1990 Division I state tournament. Her 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 win over Centerville’s Melissa Zimpfer in the final gave her a 41-0 record for the season. B.J. MULLENS, Canal Winchester boys basketball (Jan. 21, 2008) — At the Flyin’ to the Hoop Classic in Fairborn, the senior and future Ohio State and NBA player had 62 points, 24 rebounds and three blocked shots to lead the Indians to a 79-69 win over New York (N.Y.) Our Savior New American. AUSTIN STAAB, Westerville Central boys swimming (Feb. 23-24, 2007) — In his final prep meet, Staab tied the national record and won the 100 butterfly in 47.1 on Feb. 23. The next day, the Stanford recruit clocked a time of 43.93 to win the 100 freestyle. ESTABAN WEAVER, Hartley boys basketball (March 18, 1995) — The Hawks advanced to a Division III state semifinal with a 72-68 victory over Germantown Valley View, led by the play of Weaver. He scored 36 points and teamed with Matt Lowery on two key defensive stops down the stretch.

Khalilah Carpenter, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet in Dayton Welcome Stadium, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. That time eclipsed her 1998 meet record of 11.74 and broke the all-time mark of 11.63 set in 1993 by Dayton Dunbar’s Danielle Twitty. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and captured the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. Carpenter also helped Brookhaven’s 400 relay to a seventh-place finish. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

class. “In a flat class competition, you can’t see how everyone else is doing because they’re competing at the same time as you are and I had no idea where I stood,” Crawford said. “They announced finishers from last place to first so I kept waiting and waiting to hear my name. When they announced I finished fourth, I was shocked. “To go from being the worst to being fourth (in the nation) showed the hard work definitely paid off.” But Crawford said her equestrian pursuits remain somewhat of a mystery to her Reynoldsburg classmates. “My friends know I ride horses, but that’s where their knowledge of what I do ends,” she said. “Sometimes it gets a little frustrating when you’re explaining it, but I like the fact that it’s a sport that not everyone can do.”
Crawford learned that being a successful rider takes time, hard work, dedication and, sometimes, the luck of the draw. Before each flat class competition, riders are randomly assigned horses by either pulling a name out of a hat or electronically. Riders don’t get a chance to practice with their horse before the competition, but Crawford often will scout hers before she saddles up. “Some horses are a lot more challenging than others,” she said. “You have to be gentler with some than you are with others. Horses can’t read your mind, so you have to be patient with them.” Crawford showed signs of improvement her sophomore year and then made a big leap in development this past spring. She never placed lower than third in several local competitions and qualified for the IEA national competition April 29-May 1 in Upper Marlboro, Md.

ECONOMIC WOES Higgins said one of the big reasons for fewer posts offering baseball is the weak economy. “The economy has definitely played a role because many of the posts can’t afford to play in tournaments every weekend in addition to the league play during the week,” Higgins said. “I also think the increasing number of participants in sports such as soccer and lacrosse has taken away some of our kids.” About a dozen years ago, Newark Post 85 ran into a similar problem and decided to only fund a few of its team’s tournaments. The area’s baseball gurus got together and formed the Licking County Athletics. After a few separate years, the team and Post 85 reunited and added a few other sponsors. The Athletics played a Legion schedule, a Babe Ruth schedule and also played in select elite tournaments. Pickerington Post 283 is in the same position, playing a schedule similar to what the Athletics played in the past. “Our post is the reason we still have a true Legion team,” coach Chris Weber said. “They support us financially way beyond what 90 percent of other posts in Ohio do. They believe in Legion baseball and baseball has brought good publicity to our post.” Because of Post 283’s financial support, the team plays other travel squads and competes in a number of elite tournaments. “We’re in a special situation where our post supports us well financially,” Weber said. “Some posts just don’t have the money to send the team all over the state and the Midwest.”

Brian Hanks of Worthington Post 239 throws to first base to record an out during a game against Westerville Post 171C on June 15. Post 239 is among several area Legion squads affected by the increasing popularity of travel teams.
PHILOSOPHICAL DIFFERENCES
While the bad economy can be blamed for many things, there is more to this issue. There is a philosophical difference between Legion baseball and high school baseball coaches. “The reason for the decline (in Legion baseball), in my opinion, is that there are too many baseball teams in central Ohio at this age,” Worthington Post 239 coach Jim Townsend said. “I think the talent is diluted and the result seems to be that Legion is not as competitive as it once was. “I think the high school coaches chose the easy way out and turned posts into an extension of the spring season. They want their kids playing together and that has ruined Legion baseball in central Ohio. Outside of central Ohio, Legion remains very competitive.” Post 239 went 2-2 in the state tournament last season. But Thomas Worthington coach Stephen Gussler, Worthington Kilbourne coach Jeff Boulware, Watterson coach Scott Manahan and Upper Arlington coach
Matt Middleton then decided to form a travel team, Team Columbus. “There are multiple reasons for choosing not to play Legion this year,” Middleton said. “It has become a form of high school-only ball and the play is so inconsistent. We would beat up on somebody one day and then get beaten up the next day. The level of play was so drastic and inconsistent that, in this sport, you can get bored with it rather quickly. “In Columbus, it’s been about keeping the younger guys together from the same high school. In Upper Arlington, we kept the freshmen together and just played U-15 travel ball. But the older they get, you want them competing and being successful playing with and against strong competition.” With the high school season being short in Ohio, it is difficult to put the blame solely on high school coaches, Middleton said. “It’s all about how much improvement you can make in the offseason,” he said. “Truthfully, the high school season is so short, and when you have two See LEGION, page B3

How long does it take a trend to become the norm? In the past few years, central Ohio baseball players have started taking their talents to travel squads at the expense of American Legion teams. The players, high school coaches and Legion coaches debate the reasons for the change, but it doesn’t appear to be something that can be easily resolved. “The number of teams has decreased, but I wouldn’t say the talent has necessarily decreased that much,” said Michael Higgins, baseball chairman in Legion District 12. “I think we peaked a few years back when we had a dozen or more teams in District 12. Now we have six teams in the Senior Division and we have four teams in the Junior Division, which is in its second season of being officially recognized by American Legion. “When we had 12 (Senior Division) teams, people around the state were amazed. I think the increase to 12 teams was the abnormality, not the decrease in posts we’re now experiencing.”

SOCCER •The Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls team lost to Eclipse Select 3-0 in a semifinal on June 28. “We are probably the best two teams in our region, so it’s a shame we had to meet in the semifinals,â€?

minutes left to make it 4-0. It was the second three-goal game of the tournament for Agnew, who finished with seven goals in five games. “We were under siege for the first eight minutes and Nicole really saved us on a ball that would have scored,� King said. “Lindsay had a great tournament and her goal just a minute into the second half really broke their spirit because ablankenship@thisweeknews.com they were going into a stiff wind.� www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Continued from page B2 straight weeks of rainouts, you really accomplish very little. You really need to make your jump in improvement during the summer. “(The Team Columbus) schedule is such that we’re playing select teams and we’re playing the true Legion teams in these tournaments. That’s what we want.�
Yahn also pointed out a schedule difference. “In Legion, you’d play one league game every other night or something, but in these tournaments we play three to five games a weekend and less during the week,� Yahn said. “We can do more lifting for football, go to more camps and do other high school things during the week.�
OBLIGATIONS TO PLAYERS Another big difference between most travel teams and Legion teams is the size of the roster. “Travel teams generally use 11 or 12 players all summer,� Weber said. “At Post 283, we have great players competing every day for the chance to get into the lineup. Legion rosters can be deeper and more competitive because the players have to earn their way into the lineup. And that’s the way it will be for the kids who go on to play in college.� That means a player who is slumping or not performing well can be substituted without consternation. “At Post 283, the best players play,� Weber said. “It doesn’t matter how much money their parents pay or what their parents do for a living. I’m not saying all travel teams are like that, but it doesn’t matter here.� In travel ball, there is more opportunity for coaches to be loyal to players and maybe even some favoritism when it comes to positions played based on how much money is invested by a player’s parents, or the money donated by a parent’s employer. “Let’s face it. There are probably some real good players in central Ohio who don’t play travel ball because his parents can’t afford it,� Weber said. For all their differences, Legion and travel baseball have one thing in common — trying to improve players. Nuances and financial times may change, and that leaves the door open for Legion to eventually return to some of its better years in central Ohio.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS
The Licking County Athletics, who lost their Babe Ruth affiliation at the conclusion of last season, also chose not to return to Legion this season and are now a travel team. “We went with a younger team with no 19year-olds or college players this season,� coach Adam Arcuri said. “We think we have a lot of boys who plan to play in college and we wanted them to play against elite and select teams who also have older players. It’s a gauge as to where they are and where they need to be if they want to continue to play the game.� Derek Yahn, a Heath senior who plays for the Athletics, said the team is enjoying the challenge. “This allows us to travel out of town more often and we’re hanging out and becoming friends and I think that’s showing on the diamond,� Yahn said. “We’re a younger team competing against Legion teams with college players and in tournaments against older players, too. I think it will help prepare us for college baseball better. We played in a Columbus Cobras tournament against a pitcher from Xavier and a player from Ohio State.� Weber, the Pickerington Post 283 coach, said many of the kids who choose travel ball believe they get to play on a bigger stage with more college scouts and recruiters in attendance. “They want to go to showcases where they think they can be seen,� Weber said. “One way to do that is through travel baseball. It’s all about what you want and what your post allows. In our case, we’re able to do both. We have played in those same tournaments with travel bemerine@thisweeknews.com teams.� www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

G. Michael’s Bistro serves seafood treasures Summer officially just started, but I’m already worried you’re going to blow it. How? Well, by missing out on great-here today, gone-tomorrow delicacies. That would be a shame, because eating fleetingly available seasonal treasures — and I’m not even talking about vegetables — not only thrills your taste buds, but it fills you with a seize-the-day pleasure that makes life richer. You want that, right? If not, stop reading. If yes, get yourself to G. Michael’s for a plate of rare and incredible seafood. With its warm-weather menu in place, G. Michael’s has lightened up a bit. I’ll eventually get to some wonderful items on that list (and how to get them at a discount), but first I want to point you to the recurring summertime specials that have gotten me so “Don’t miss it!” excited: sublime and difficult-to-find white-fleshed salmon plus some of the best soft-shell crabs around. Summer is prime soft-shell crab sea-
MENU by G.A. Benton son, and I love those crazy-looking things. Unfortunately, they too often arrive uncrispy, cooked to mush and so puny there’s not much to sink your teeth into. Not here. G. Michael’s soft shells — which get a pleasingly ungreasy and delightfully crackly cornmeal jacketing — are generally thicker, providing pockets of sweet lovely meat. Lately I’ve had them in appetizer form ($12) detailed New Orleans style, with racy red rice and a rich remoulade sauce, and Asian-inflected, with a stir-fry-like slaw. Both were terrific. We’re also currently enjoying the shortlived wild Alaskan salmon season. If you’ve only had commonplace farmed Atlantic salmon, I urge you to seek out their more elegant Pacific cousin. I recently hit the lottery at G. Mike’s by scor-

ing infrequently encountered Alaskan King Salmon with pale, whitesh meat. Called ivory salmon, it was simply and beautifully grilled. This delicate, succulent fish — likely the mildest salmon
you’re liable to eat — came partnered with stuffing-like cremini mushroom fritters, a vivid tomato and herb ratatouille, and a couple (possibly food-chain-riffing) shrimp. Order this stunner immediately if you spot it as a special. If pristine and rarely seen seafood isn’t your thing, try the lean and mean Marinated American Bison Flatiron Steak ($28). The tender, beefy meat had a sexy char on it and except for a couple of gristly bites, was a delight. It arrived with a fruity, Worcestershire-perked sauce plus irresistibly crisp and oniony smoked goudaenhanced hash browns. If entrees don’t beckon, G. Michael’s excellent (and not-so-small) small plates have big flavors and can be had for just $6 until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday (two are plenty for dinner). Of course the awesome Shrimp and Grits is on the greatest hits list, but here are some favorites: • Seared Jumbo Scallops: This place is also famous for its great scallops, and

this dynamic duo — crested with intense pickled rhubarb and plated with a warm apple and fennel salad — only enhances that reputation. • Pressed Veal Sweetbreads: Wow. Imagine creamy and complex grilled sausage patties and cheesy hash browns (plus a colorful corn relish and smoky tomato sauce) for dinner. • Sweet Yellow Corn Johnnycakes: Another play on breakfast-for-dinner, these were fluffy and savory pancakes layered with game-changing Pernodsauced spinach, mild crawfish tails, peppers and an onion sauce. • Grilled Housemade Bratwurst Patty: Happiness on a beautiful breakfast-style biscuit with killer kraut and mustard.
After 14 years in Northland, Spain to reopen in Lewis Center
By Chris Parker/ThisWeek
Spain Restaurant is opening at the intersection of Powell Road and U.S. Route 23 after being in Northland for 14 years
A new era in the history of Spain Restaurant begins in Lewis Center. After 14 years in the Northland area, the restaurant has relocated to 76 Powell Road, in the former Beeb’s Deli location. Owner Andres Casal said he closed the Northland site in late May to concentrate on his new store, set to open later this month. “The space is comfortable,” he said. “It’s nice — not too big, not too small.” He has spent the last several months renovating the interior, building a bar and installing a new floor and seating. The 3,600-square-foot building seats 120, with another 40 on the patio. The menu offers many traditional Spanish dishes, such as paella, gazpacho and cabrito, or goat, which is marinated for four days before being slow-cooked. The bill of fare is heavy on seafood dishes, with beef and poultry dishes represented as well. There’s even duck a l’orange, using Casal’s own special recipe. Most dinner entrees are in the $17 to $20 range. In addition to a set lunch menu, 10 specials will be featured for the afternoon crowd, Casal said. No lunch item will top $10, he said. All desserts — including flan, cheesecake and tres leches cake — are made from scratch. Spain also will carry a full liquor license but will not offer tapas, a style of small plates often misinterpreted in American restaurants. “Maybe in the future I’ll open a tapas bar — a real tapas bar — downtown,” he said. As with the previous location, the latest Spain will have white tablecloths and linen napkins
for a sophisticated look but a casual ambience. The restaurant got its start in 1994 on the West Side. Casal, who began cooking professionally in restaurants in New Jersey, was hired at the original location shortly after it opened. He bought his way into the ownership over the years. Casal will reopen Spain nightclub in the former storefront at 888 W. Dublin-Granville Road in the Best Western Hotel in the next week or so, he said. It will be open Friday and Saturday. Yet, the neighborhood couldn’t seem to get back on the upswing, so Casal decided to move to an area that’s closer to his customer base. With few upscale dining options in the immediate area, the restaurant is perfectly situated between Polaris and nearby Powell, he said. “It’s good for me,” he said. “Competition is good but sometimes it’s good to not have too much competition.” Misperceptions still persist about Spanish cooking, which tends to be lumped in with any cuisine south of the American border, Casal said. He said his style of cuisine is largely uncomplicated, allowing for clean, natural flavors. “I think the best food is the simplest,” he said. Spain will be open for lunch Monday through Friday and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (740) 548-6900.
