Income tax hike headed to Nov. 8 ballot By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers In a 5-2 vote, Reynoldsburg City Council approved emergency legislation Monday to let voters decide in November whether to approve a 1-percent income tax increase. The city has until Aug. 10 to file documents with the Franklin County Board of Elections to place the request on the Nov. 8 ballot. If approved, it would raise Reynoldsburg’s income tax from 1.5 per-
cent to 2.5 percent beginning Jan. 1, 2012. Council members Doug Joseph and Nathan Burd both voted against going to the ballot this fall. “We’re elected by the citizens to do what we think is right, and whether they agree or disagree with what council members do, we have elections in the city … they can replace us,” Joseph said. “I’m very unhappy that we didn’t spend more time looking at cuts and reforms before racing to the ballot.” Burd said he thinks the request for a
1-percent income tax increase is massive. He said he believes the city needs to take more time to see how it can manage before rushing to the ballot. City auditor Richard Harris said a 1percent increase would generate about $5.8 million. Even though Reynoldsburg needs to make up for $1.3 million in projected revenue losses next year, the extra money is needed for future infrastructure needs, he said. “The last income tax increase that was put through the city started Jan. 1, 1982
… 30 years without a tax increase — that’s a long time, folks,” Harris said. He said the latest complete income tax records from 2009 show 18,464 returns. Of that, 14,078 were residents who live in Reynoldsburg but work somewhere else. “Many of those residents are already paying 2.5 percent, so this would cost those people nothing,” Harris said. “About two-thirds of the dollars collected by us in income tax is from people who live somewhere else and work here.”
An ad hoc committee charged with reviewing the city’s budget issues reported to council on July 11 that there are two options for a tax increase: Increase the rate or reduce the 100-percent tax credit the city offers residents who work outside Reynoldsburg city limits. The committee members said a tax increase would have the least impact on residents. Council president William Hills reitSee INCOME TAX HIKE, page A4

Volunteers prepare wetlands for ‘eco-study’ lab By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers About 100 Reynoldsburg students, parents and community members volunteered to brave the heat and humidity last Friday and Saturday to plant a variety of species at the district’s new wetlands site behind the new high school on Summit Road. District spokesperson Tricia Moore said the site encompasses about 4 acres, with about two being wetlands and the other two running along an unnamed stream which is a tributary to Blacklick Creek. She said before the project is completed by this fall, about 9,000 plants will be planted, along with seeds for a cover crop and about 350 trees. The two dozen different varieties of species planted over the weekend included swamp milkweed, bearded sedge, red-footed spike-rush, turtlehead, hairy willow-herb, American water horehound, and mad-dog skullcap.

Bertke named principal at Herbert Mills Elementary By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Pam Bertke will be the new principal at Herbert Mills Elementary School beginning this fall. Bertke replaces former principal Jana Alig, who is the district’s new director of elementary education. She will be paid an annual base salary of $78,898 plus $17,000 for insurance. Her previous salary was $71,858 per year.
Bertke, 36, has spent the last eight years in the in the Reynoldsburg school district, six as a fifthand sixth-grade teacher at Hannah Ashton and WagPam Bertke goner Road middle schools, one year as dean of students at Waggoner Road Middle School and this past year as an administrative intern at Herbert Mills Elementary.
Nine candidates have expressed interest in filling a seat on the Reynoldburg Board of Education that became vacant when Chip Martin resigned on July 20. Lynda M. Snyder, Sandra D. Long, Ben McKibben, Ryan P. Kelly, Joe Begeny, Monica DeBrock, Dee Kahl, Thomas C. Drabick Jr. and Loretta L. King all submitted letters to the board by July 19. The board is required to appoint someone to fill a vacancy within 30 days after a member resigns. Board vice president Andy Swope said members will review the candidates’qualifications in the next couple of weeks. “We’ll go over the letters and try to narrow it down to two, three, maybe four, then contact them in for an interview. Then we’ll have someone to announce by the next board meeting in August,” Swope said. If the person who is named to fill the rest of Martin’s term wants to seek a full term, which begins Jan. 1, 2012, he or she will have to run in the Nov. 8 general election. Snyder is director of operations for “I Know I Can,” a nonprofit college access program for Columbus City Schools. She also is a member of the Parent Advisory Council for the Ohio Department of Education. Long is the majority owner of a small document-security-related business in Reynoldsburg. She has served on the Reynoldsburg Farmers Market committee since 2008, is a
As principal, Bertke said she wants to take a very focused and data-driven approach to students. “Right now, we have room to grow and things to improve upon,” she said. “I’m thrilled and excited. It’s what I’ve waited for and wanted for a couple of years. “Being at Herbert Mills after I worked there for one year, I know this is exactly the place I want to be,” she said. Bertke said she learned a lot from

Alig during the past year at Herbert Mills. “My main goal is to continue what we’ve done, that’s the biggest thing, because last year, they came off of a 25-year principal (Craig Seckel), then Jana and I came in and worked real closely,” she said. A native of Coldwater, Ohio, Bertke received her bachelor of science degree in elementary education from
Reynoldsburg development director Lucas Haire will leave the city to take a similar post in Canal Winchester, effective Aug. 1. Canal Winchester Mayor Mike Ebert made the announcement July 26. Haire will succeed Chris Strayer, who stepped down in June to take a position with the Ohio Department of Development. Strayer had been at Canal Winchester for four years; his most recent annual salary was $65,000. Haire’s salary will be between $61,150 and $70,000, according to Canal Winchester finance director Nanisa Osborn. See HAIRE TO LEAVE, page A4

BERTKE Continued from page A1 Ohio State University and a master’s degree in elementary education from Ohio State in 1998. She said her interest in wanting to become a teacher really took hold when she was a lifeguard during her high school years. In addition, she also was inspired by her father, Hank Schwieterman, who was a high school English teacher while she was growing up. “I would always go to school with him and pre-
tend to be a teacher my whole life,” Bertke said. “My first experience in teaching, really, was when I was a lifeguard teaching young kids how to swim and not to be afraid of the water, and I enjoyed what the kids took away from it.” Assistant superintendent Dan Hoffman acknowledged Bertke’s experience and said the district is confident she will do a great job. “I’ve watched her as she worked with Jana Alig at Herbert Mills and we’re pleased to have Pam on board as principal,” Hoffman said.

by Greg VanHorssen GOOD REASON NOT TO TAKE ASPIRIN
Breakfast • Lunch • Dinner
Those afflicted with the phantom noise in their ears that no one else can hear (“tinnitus”) should know that this problem can be linked to aspirin consumption. Aspirin’s potential effect upon hearing was originally noted when the drug was first synthesized over a century ago. A warning of this potential effect may even have been on the aspirin bottle label. In any case, it is thought that salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin, can damage the cochlea in the inner ear. This potential side effect is more likely to occur at the higher daily doses taken for the treatment of chronic pain. However, occasional aspirin users have also reported tinnitus. The problem may cease when aspirin usage stops. The most common type of tinnitus is subjective tinnitus. Subjective tinnitus includes sounds only you can hear.

Truro Township trustees have approved a resolution that they hope will make it easier for them to deal with dilapidated properties. “It gives the township the framework to go after properties that are nuisances or deteriorated, and it’s a process to work with the property owners to clean the mess up. Before, we couldn’t do that,” township administrator Bob Stapleton said. According to a statement on the township website, the new policies “provide procedures for addressing nuisances such as poorly maintained buildings, noxious weeds, garbage and objects located on or along township roads.
“The procedures generally provide for an initial inspection of the property conducted by a township employee, including the fire inspector, followed by a hearing at which the trustees determine whether a nuisance or violation of the policy or the Ohio Revised Code exists. Property owners and lien-holders are then notified of the trustees’ determination, and they are generally given an opportunity to remedy the situation themselves. If the nuisances is not abated or removed within a certain period of time, the trustees provide for the abatement or removal at the property owner’s expense.” Stapleton said the township has needed more See TRURO TOWNSHIP, page A4

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.

“I appreciate the opportunity Mayor Brad McCloud gave me to serve in his administration and I appreciated working with a number of the community partners we’ve had and the colleagues we’ve had,” Haire said on July 26. “We’ve had success in continuing to attract investment and new development on Route 256 and East Broad Street, and the redevelopment of East Main Street and Brice Road, and I think it’s gone well,” he said. Haire said the Canal Winchester job is “a good opportunity to go and serve a growing community.” Haire began working for Reynoldsburg in May 2006 as the city’s planning administrator and in early 2008, was promoted to development director. Osborn said the city expects an economic upswing, following a difficult period nationally. “The last three years have been very difficult economically in Canal Winchester, and the state of Ohio and the nation,” she said. “I would expect the next three years will show us a cleaner, clearer picture where hopefully, the reces-
sion abates and growth moves forward again. “Canal Winchester will continue to look to add new businesses and, we hope, some new manufacturing, to provide jobs to the community.” Ebert said the primary focus of development will be industrial employers. “Our focus will be on the Canal

moving the dirt on the wetlands site up to the proper elevations. Assistant superintendent Dan Hoffman said although the wetlands are beginning to develop and will be ready by fall, the site will be a work in progress for the first couple of years. “We feel pretty confident we’re going to have some things to study out there as early as the fall,” Hoffman said. “What we’re going to have is the capacity for kids, eventually K-12, who are in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs to study right there, so we think it is going to be a phenomenal science lab that’s primarily outdoors.”

tar buildings for the labs, Moore said, officials decided the yurts would blend in more with the environment and would be less expensive to build. In late 2010, Reynoldsburg City Council authorized an agreement with the school district to use funds from an Ohio Environmental Protection Agency grant to restore and expand the wetlands area. As a result, the OEPA awarded the district $137,010 in a reimbursement grant, which means the schools will spend the money while developing the wetlands and then will be reimbursed up to that amount. Moore said the money helps pay for the plants and trees and

“You’ll find these plants are native to this region, and it helps establish the wetland and ecological environment that is conducive to the birds and critters and their habitat,” Moore said. The wetlands will become a laboratory for students attending the new high school and elementary school on Summit Road, both of which are slated to open this fall, Moore said. Two structures called “yurts” — round buildings in a dome shape — are located near the wetlands and are intended to be used as eco-learning labs. Instead of just constructing brick and mor-

sances such as noxious weeds, trash, debris, unsightly items, junked cars, those kinds of things,” he said. “The new resolution … broadens the definition of nuisances that are otherwise sometimes narrowly defined by other state statutes.” In other words, he said it gives townships more authority when a group of people, or an entire neighborhood, are affected by a threat to health, safety, peace, comfort or convenience, or are annoyed by a situation. “Now there will be a judicial process involved whereby the board of trustees will serve as a panel giving a negligent homeowner the chance to explain their case but also to implement remedies that they must follow,” Knoderer said. Fire Lt. Mike Shirey said one of his jobs is to inspect structures for any compliance violations. He said the new resolution permits trustees to address problems with buildings that have been declared insecure, unsafe or structurally defective. “They’re trying to take care of a building before it becomes a hazard or somebody gets hurt in it, including firefighters,” Shirey said. “I am to document what is going on, then find out who the owner is, then send a certified letter to them of the condition and what we want done,” he said. “At that point, the owner could ask for a meeting and they’ll come in and explain what their game plan is with the building and the trustees will determine what, if anything, they need to do.”

authority to enforce removal of such eyesores as junk vehicles or debris on properties. He said the Ohio Revised Code recently added new language providing townships with more options. “We’d been having difficulties for a long, long time in areas with people parking semis in their side yard, and finally, the Ohio Revised Code was changed,” Stapleton said. “We could do something about noxious weeds, but we couldn’t do anything about junked vehicles.” He said the slumping housing market created a need for ORC changes. With the rise in the number of foreclosures, houses often are abandoned and begin to deteriorate with the owner nowhere to be found, Stapleton said. “A lot of times, somebody will abandon a home and the bank sits there holding it, and sometimes you have to take them to court to get something done,” he said. Trustee Barb Strussion said overall, the new resolution gives Truro Tonwship’s road superintendent and fire prevention people more “teeth” to deal with grounds and buildings that are in bad condition. Road superintendent Stan Knoderer said his role is to inspect the exterior of grounds in the rights of way to make sure they are in compliance. “My role is to oversee the compliance of nui-

cuts include the parks and recreation department, closing the senior center and laying off police officers. “There have been a number of references of what the cuts would look like … I think it would be remiss if I did not describe the kinds of things that we would have to do,” Mayor Brad McCloud said. He said the parks and recreation budget is about $870,000. Cutting that would still leave about $500,000 that would need to be cut from the budget. And that would require “a 10-percent layoff in our police officer workforce,” McCloud said. “I’m not saying that’s the only way to do it, but this is way beyond buying cheaper copying paper … we’ve run this on a shoestring skeleton crew and I will continue to do so, whether I have $100 or $200 to operate.” Council member Mel Clemens said the budget situation “is not something we discovered two weeks ago … this is something the city auditor has been pounding in our head for the last year and a half. It’s something we knew was happening and something we have to correct.”

affirmative was to give the people an opportunity,” Long said. “I’m hoping people in Reynoldsburg are smart enough to say one of two things: The city administration made what cuts they could to show us they definitely need the money and that it’s OK, or they’re going to say, ‘no, guys, you didn’t do enough’ and it’s going to go down. “We are not confirming that there should be a 1-percent income tax increase. All we are doing here tonight is saying this issue should be placed before the people,” Long said. Council member Barth Cotner said Monday’s vote was an “opportunity to give our residents that chance to improve this community. It’s not all up to us, it’s up to the community … Now is the time we step forward and provide some leadership to do the right thing,” he said. A little over a dozen residents attended Monday’s council meeting. Most were in favor of having council put the tax request on the ballot, but some asked for specifics of what would be cut if the issue is rejected. Areas brought up for possible

erated Monday that the ad hoc committee report also said there need to be budget cuts and fee increases. However, he said, if the city does not do those things and get a tax increase, city council will have to consider approving a tax increase, not the voters. “Our anticipated expenditures for 2012 are $13 million, our anticipated revenue is $11.7 million. That means, minimum, we have to have $1.3 million out of reserves or a tax increase, or somewhere, to match what our expenses are,” Hills said. “You are down at the bottom of the barrel … that’s why we’re saying let’s take a 1-percent increase to the ballot. And I’m not blaming the state … this city has been an excellent steward of funds,” he said. “Thirty years without a tax increase? It’s got to be done.” Council member Chris Long said he is not in favor of a tax increase in today’s economy, but said he voted in favor of going to the ballot in November to give the community a chance to have its voice heard. “The only thing we voted in the

Education news Local students enjoy European adventure A group of Waggoner Road Junior High School students took a trip to Europe in March, visiting many of the ancient sites they learned about in class. Lauraine Camm, seventh- and eighth-grade history teacher, organized the trip through Explorica with the help of paraprofessional Pam Hertenstein. Nine students made the trip, along with five other adults. Some of the ancient sites students visited in Italy included the Colosseum in Rome, Vatican City, Pompeii and Sorrento. In Greece, the group toured Olympia, Mycenae, the Parthenon and the Acropolis.

Teams preparing for start of practice By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The wait is nearly over for high school football players and coaches. It started with the sometimes monotonous days of weight-room work, which began for many the moment last season ended. The past few weeks have included activities such as team camps and 7on-7 passing tournaments, with a few glimpses of the playbook thrown in. Beginning Monday, Aug. 1, it final-
ly will start to feel like football again. For Grove City coach Matt Jordan, that first day of official coaching allowed by the OHSAA provides an enjoyable opportunity to see his players bond. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s a chance for relationships between some players and coaches to get a fresh start. “You no longer get any excuses from anybody,” Jordan said, laughing. “Seriously, it’s fun to finally get to put the pads on. You’ve been in the weight room since December, so it’s fun watch-
ing everyone run around in helmets. You know it’s football season, and there’s this wonderful excitement in the air. There’s something about that adrenaline that comes.” According to the OHSAA, the dates teams are allowed to scrimmage this year are Aug. 9-20. Although games can be played as early as Aug. 22, most teams start their season Aug. 26 or 27. Many teams in central Ohio won’t have their first scrimmage until Aug. 12, which means they have 11 days to put plays in motion before their first
contact against another team. Putting in drills over the first couple days of practice can be an important exercise in setting the pace for the coming months as well as in preparing for scrimmages. “You try to establish everyday types of drills and try to mix them up,” Jordan said. “We do certain things day one, certain things day two and get a rotation going. You’re always evaluating talent and you definitely want to laterally be going forward to see who looks good.
“In football, you already have a pretty good idea who your guys are Aug. 1, so you’re also looking at team cohesiveness. Do you have some leaders who are ready to step up? You start initially with your base offense and base defense in the early days and then do repeat and review to make sure you haven’t moved too fast. When you get to pads, it all changes.” Teams from the City League sometimes have obstacles, particularly early See FOOTBALL, page B2
Commentary
Respect essential to prep athletes Bad news often takes precedence over good news when it comes to stories about athletes. Most athletes perform well at their jobs and conduct their lives in a respectful way, but poor decisions often lead to headlines. This week, the high school stuLARRY dent-athletes LARSON writing in my summer series discuss how they view two elements of the positive side of sports — sportsmanship and respect. Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I always try to be as positive as possible and I always remember that I do this sport because I love it and not as if it is my job.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “I view respect and sportsmanship as a bigger part of the game than talent. You don’t have to be a friend with everyone, but it is important to get along with everyone.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Respect and good sportsmanship are necessities come game time. Whether it was something in your day that upset you or things just aren’t going the way you want them to, no one likes to feel disrespected. Sometimes it’s going to be about someone else’s day, so smile and congratulate them as they would congratulate you.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “Respect in competition is vital. When you are big enough to respect your opponents, you respect yourself and your teammates that much more.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Respect and sportsmanship are always very valued traits to have as an athlete. In order to respect the game, you must respect your competitors in that game.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “I will make it real simple — respect all, fear none.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “In high school games, you have to remember that the guys out there on the field from the other team are just like you. Many of us get to be friends over the years. It is important to represent your school and community well on and off the field.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “Respect and sportsmanship in competition are very important. I will be the first to say that emotions, sometimes, do get the best of me during games. The important thing is to keep in mind that it is a game and it is nothing to compromise your morals over.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “It is never

Kocher leads Marlins to SESL title By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Eric George/ThisWeek
Reynoldsburg’s Alex Kocher swims in the boys 15-18 100-yard backstroke en route to a first-place finish during the Suburban East Swim League meet July 21.
Sam Kocher knew he would be at a disadvantage when he competed in the Suburban East Swim League championships July 2021 at the Hilltop pool. Recovering from a June 14 surgery to correct a deviated septum, the Reynoldsburg Marlins swimmer was reduced to push-off starts in his events while the rest of the SESL competitors dived into the pool. “That’s a pretty big disadvantage,” Kocher said. “Every person is a body length or two ahead of you. You have to make up a lot of ground.” Kocher more than made up for it. The 2011 St. Charles Preparatory School graduate placed first in the 100-yard individual medley (1 minute, 0.33 of a second) and the 50 butterfly (26.83) in the boys 15- to 18-year-old division. He also joined his brother Alex, Andrew Templeman and Josh Dorsett in firstplace finishes in the 200 medley relay (1:51.18) and 200 freestyle relay (1:44.24). The performances helped the Marlins capture their 12th SESL varsity championship in 14 years. They scored 601 points to finish ahead of the Eastmoor Swordfish (458), Gahanna Hunter’s Ridge (175), New Albany (98), Hilltop (38), London (36) and Foxboro (9). The meet consisted of competitors in the 1112, 13-14 and 15-18 age groups. The Marlins’ Tiffany Aeling, a 2011 Hartley graduate, thought about not competing this summer so she could focus on getting ready to swim for Marshall University in the fall.
“I decided that since some of my other friends were still swimming and I can still compete, I may as well come back and finish out my last year,” said Aeling, who clocked a 55.79 in the 100 freestyle to break her own meet record of 56.33 in 2008 and placed first in the 100 IM (1:06.81) in the girls 15-18 division. “That was a nice way to finish it out,” she said. The Marlins’ Leah Svoboda, Drewanne Maffett, Sara Kohs and Marisa Glusich broke the SESL record in the girls 13-14 200 free relay (1:53.05), topping the previous best of 1:53.3 set by Bexley in 1980. Lauren Bailey, Glusich, Svoboda and Maffett set a league record in the girls 13-14 200 medley relay by swimming a 2:01.49 in the July 20 preliminaries to beat the previous record of 2:05.01 set by Eastmoor in 2008. They won the event in 2:05.32 on July 21. Glusich also won the 50 breaststroke (33.47), 50 free (27.41) and 100 IM (1:06.56). Bailey was first in the 50 backstroke (32.71) and Svoboda won the 50 fly (29.98). Other first-place finishers for the Marlins included Michael Bungard in the boys 13-14 50 back (30.62) and 50 free (25.44), Alex Kocher in the boys 15-18 100 back (1:01.54), Patrick McCafferty in the boys 11-12 50 fly (33.18) and 100 IM (1:18.44), Templeman in the boys 15-18 100 breast (1:11.99) and 100 free (55.03), Tanner Wooddell, Cameron Mertz, McCafferty and Jack Baughman in the boys 11-12 200 medley (2:26.72) and McCafferty, Baughman, Wooddell and Ian See SWIM, page B2

Avery’s heroics led Newark to state title By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Greg Avery of the Newark High School boys basketball team couldn’t have been more excited for the spotlight of the Division I state championship game March 15, 2008, against Lakewood St. Edward. Even now, though, he cringes at how his game started — with a pair of what he considered bad shots, the first of which resulted in a missed layup. But little else went wrong that night for Avery. The 6-foot-3 senior tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory and their first state championship since 1943 before a crowd of See LARSON, page B2 12,465 at Ohio State’s Value City Arena.
“My first two shots were two of the dumbest shots,” Avery said. “I wanted to get rolling, and after that I was just in the zone.” Avery made seven consecutive shots after missing his first attempt, including back-to-back baskets to open the second quarter. He hit a jumper nine seconds into the period to make it 2114 and made his only 3-point attempt with 6 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the quarter to give the Wildcats a 2414 lead. After Newark took a 14-point lead midway through the second period, St. Edward rallied to within six before Avery hit a jumper with 7 seconds left in the first half to make it 33-25. “I really noticed (how well he was playing) the next week watching the game and seeing some of the shots he made,” Newark coach Jeff Quacken-
bush said. “We ran a play for him at the end of the (first) half and he made this fade-away (jumper) from about 17 feet. You know he’s scoring and doing well, but I guess he was just in that zone and we felt really good about the shots he was taking. “He had a huge steal at the end of the third quarter and just played well the entire game. His whole game, just everything he did, he really competed well that night.” The other starters for the Wildcats — post player Dane Kopp, forward Will McCoy and guards Cody Dennison and Rahlin Watson — each played contributing roles in what became Newark’s fourth state championship. Although McCoy scored just four points, he was one of the primary reasons St. Edward’s Tom Pritchard — an Indiana University recruit — was held to nine points on 3-
for-7 shooting. The Wildcats never led by fewer than five points in the second half and stretched the lead to as many as 16 in the final period. Watson, who plays for Capital University, scored 10 points. Dennison scored eight and Kopp added seven as the Wildcats finished with a 24-4 record. Avery said the standout performance of the team’s defense made it difficult for St. Edward — and Pritchard in particular — to take good shots. Dennison, who played two seasons for Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and will play for Tiffin University this season, remembers talking with Avery when both were in elementary school about one day making it to the state tournament.

In the girls 9-10, Reynoldsburg’s Samantha Nappi set a league record in the 50 free (29.44) in the July 20 preliminaries, topping the 30.18 mark set in 2010 by Sampson. Nappi then placed first (30.19) in the event a day later. Nappi also placed first in the 25 fly (15.56) and 50 breast (39.35) and helped Julia Bazley, Gabrielle Jackson and Molly Bruggeman win the 100 medley relay (1:15.41). The Marlins’ Karah Van Horn, Liza McClung, Kasey Lichtner and Shannon McCafferty set a record in the 8-and-under girls 100 medley relay (1:26.15), topping the mark of 1:26.81 set by New Albany in 2009.

Picking up j.v. wins for New Albany were Alek Jacoby in the boys 7-8 25 back (25.28), Crew Jochems in the girls 7-8 25 back (20.79) and Morgan Pankow in the girls 9-10 50 back (37.12).

Greg Avery (5) of Newark begins to celebrate in the final seconds of the Wildcats’ 65-52 victory over Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game on March 15, 2008. Avery dominated the game, scoring 33 points and adding 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead Newark.
AVERY Continued from page B1 “He pretty much did everything for us that night,” Dennison said. “We’d had the mindset to be in that situation since we were in fifth grade, and in my junior year and Greg’s senior year, we finally reached that goal. That will to win got us over the hump. “I personally tried to give him the ball all the time, and everybody fed off of him. We were all clicking. Everything he was shooting was going in.” Avery remembers fondly the scene when he and his teammates returned to Newark that night and the celebrations that followed over the coming days. It was a fitting end to a prep career in which Avery scored 1,131 points. He made thirdteam all-state and first-team alldistrict his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Avery became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 career points. “I remember driving home and the fans were waiting for us when we got back to our gym,” Avery said. “We had a ceremony and had a day named after us, ‘Newark State Championship Day.’ There was a lot of support from Newark.” Shortly after the state championship, Avery signed to play collegiately for Western Carolina. He averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 30 games, including four starts, during the 2008-09 season. After the season, he decided to transfer to the University of Findlay, a Division II school, because of the coming birth of his daughter. During the 200910 season for the Oilers, Avery averaged 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 27 games, including five starts. Despite having what he deemed a successful transition early on to Findlay’s program, longtime coach Ron Niekamp, who retired earlier this year after 26 seasons, told Avery
FOOTBALL Continued from page B1 on, because many of the players who come out for football as freshmen are competing in the sport on a team for the first time. For those taking over a program for the first time such as Brookhaven’s Trevor White, that factor as well as figuring out how to install a new system can make for some complicated moments of preparation even before the first day of official coaching. “Especially with a new program, a big thing early on is setting the tone,” White said. “You want to be getting everybody on the same page, and what we’ve been debating is how much of the offense and defense do we put in. Do we just throw it at them or do we take it step by step? “We’ll have some kids that played (youth) football but some who have never played the sport before. You’ve always got to walk a line of bringing kids along but not holding the veterans back, and especially with a new program, it’s important that you’re really getting to know
Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 4-10. Check back next week for No. 2 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
NOS. 4-10: 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 touchdowns on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more
after the season that he “didn’t really fit the system,” Avery said. In search of a place to play, Avery was considering Valdosta State, a Division II school in Valdosta, Ga., when on July 26, 2010, he and two other men were accused of assaulting a man in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “They tried to hit me with a felony, but I didn’t do anything,” Avery said. “It set me back two more steps.” Avery now is a student at the Newark branch of Ohio State and working for Dennison’s father, Joe, but is hoping to play competitive basketball again soon. He is considering playing on the Division III or NAIA
surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the freethrow line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 23, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. 4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 4-1 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd.
level, or could join a semi-pro team. Regardless of some of the ups and downs that have occurred for Avery the past threeplus years, he knows the memory of what he helped accomplish with his high school team lives on. “It’s still unbelievable,” Avery said. “I still talk to guys who played on that team regularly, and for that game I think we all just did everything to get us that ring. We didn’t let distractions get in our way. I felt like when I was starting to get hot that we were going to win the game.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
At a glance Below is a look at the Reynoldsburg and Hartley football teams entering Monday, Aug. 1’s first day of official coaching: REYNOLDSBURG •Coach: Buddy White, first season •2010 record: 3-7 overall, 1-6 (seventh) in OCC-Ohio •Last playoff appearance: 2001, lost in Division I regional semifinal •Opener: Aug. 26 at Dublin Jerome •Top expected returnees: Rahsaan Laurel (WR/DB), Jimmy McKean (QB/DB), Sean McKeen (DL), Tabeal Radney (WR/DB) and Caleb Wilson (K) •Preseason outlook: The return of a former assistant in White as head coach helped the Raiders have a productive offseason in terms of numbers and commitment.

the team. I’m really excited to learn who my team is.” One of the key aspects of the first days of official coaching, according to Olentangy Liberty coach Steve Hale, is getting players’ technical reactions back on track. “You’re working a lot on technique, stance and starts, quickness and a lot of ball skills,” Hale said. “What responsibilities do I have? There are a lot of drills where we try to put kids in sit-

uations where they can learn. I think it’s just a matter of being organized and knowing what schemes we have. “Obviously everybody gets a brand new start. There’s an excitement and an anticipation that you’ll have a great season. That first time on the practice field is like being reborn each year.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
