Board agrees to cut some personnel By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Reynoldsburg Board of Education took steps June 21 to eliminate some positions for the next fiscal year as part of the district’s efforts to trim $2.4 million from its budget. District spokesperson Tricia Moore said no specific personnel can be been identified yet, just certain full-time equiv-
alency (FTE) positions. The list includes the next two fiscal an administration intern, an assistant years — $2.4 million principal and a pre-school guidance in FY2012 and ancounselor, each of which counts as a 0.5 other $1.3 million in FTE job; 4.5 FTE pre-school teachers, FY2013. 4.2 FTE pre-school non-teaching paraMoore said the disprofessionals and 1.5 FTE physical edtrict also plans to reucation teachers at the high school. duce the number of Steve Dackin Superintendent Steve Dackin indiemployees through cated May that the district is anticipat- attrition — that is, not replacing people ing expenditure cuts of $3.7 million over who have retired.
“It’s technical language right now. We’re not at the point where we can translate a number of people who are losing their jobs … but there’s a process that has to go through, and the first step is this, eliminate positions,” Moore said. Now that the board has approved cutting the positions, she said, the next step will be to identify the people who hold those jobs and notify them by letter. A caveat exists, however: Moore said
some of the employees may have “bumping rights” according to seniority or their contracts, which means they could be reassigned to other positions, thus bumping someone else out of a job. Taking the approved job cuts and attrition into account, Dackin said district officials have found ways to cut about $1.9 million of the $2.4 million goal See BOARD AGREES, page A2

Reynoldsburg schools Superintendent Steve Dackin says preliminary data released by the Ohio Department of Education show Reynoldsburg schools are on track to a rating of “excellent” for the 2010-11 school year. “I can’t tell you how excited I am to announce that for this past school year, it appears that we have hit all 26 indicators, and that would be a first for Reynoldsburg since the inception of the local report card,” Dackin said last week. In addition to the excellent rating, he said the district hit a performance index of more than 100 percent for the first time. “That performance index is a measured percentage of kids who advanced in the different levels of the proficiency tests,” Dackin said. “These two measures are indicators of achievement. Their orientation is about achievement and how kids have met certain benchmarks in their learning.” Dackin stressed that the information is preliminary because the ODE has not released value-added measures for all school districts in the state. That information is expected to be released in August when the official report cards come out. “So we don’t know the growth side of the equation yet,” he said. “We know the achievement side, and for us, growth has been so important over the See PRELIMINARY RESULTS, page A4

RHS grad fulfills dream with Pittsburgh Pirates By KEN KITCHEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Eric Fryer was at a Panera Bread restaurant in Indianapolis with his wife, Allison, and 11-month-old son, Caleb, when he received a phone call with news that would change their lives. He was going to the major leagues. Fryer, a 2004 Reynoldsburg High School graduate, made his debut on June 26 for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Starting at catcher, Fryer batted eighth and went 0-for-3 with a walk in the Pirates’4-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
He was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis the previous day and arrived at the ballpark just before a 64 win over the Red Sox. “Honestly, it’s been kind of crazy.

Reynoldsburg City Council approved the Olde Reynoldsburg strategic plan Monday, June 27, after considering comments from residents and members of the community development committee over the past couple months. The plan, introduced in early May, was devised by city planning administrator Matt Hansen, development director Lucas Haire and a steering committee of residents. Its purpose is to provide a vision in to make Olde Reynoldsburg a successful business destination, Hanson said, and focuses on an area along East Main Street from Blacklick Creek east to Waggoner Road, then south from there to the intersections at East Livingston Avenue, Graham Road and Slate Ridge Boulevard. The main objectives include creating land use and development recommendations, understanding how to draw successful commercial development to the area and to create a sense of place and a brand for Olde Reynoldsburg. During committee discussions, residents objected to the possibility of rerouting truck traffic, although the plan didn’t say specifically how this

Board agrees to cut some personnel Continued from page A1 from the budget. “The cuts are what they are, so what we’re trying to do is figure out how we’re going to reduce $2.4 million in expenditures and not cut services for kids,” he said. One area officials consider when searching for ways to save money is staffing levels, Dackin said. “The things … that were approved
last week by the board will result in no reduction of service levels,” he said. One example, Dackin said, is to have the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio operate the district’s pre-school services next year “like they do in Gahanna and Olentangy.” “We project by having the Educational Service Center running it, we’ll save about $150,000 just in that exchange; (there is) no loss in service and our kids will be served by certified, qualified
teachers,” he said. Moore said negotiations between the district and the unions representing certified and classified employees are another piece of the financial puzzle. “Both union contracts expire July 30 and we will be entering into negotiations for the future … and the target hopefully will add up to $2.4 million,” she said. Topics to be discussed in the union negotiations might include forgoing raises next year, reducing them, or freezing
salaries to save the district money, she said. Dackin said the district’s financial planning is based on what next year’s anticipated expenditures are, along with a five-year forecast. The terms of new contracts with the unions could affect anticipated expenditures, and this could change the five-year forecast as well. “There’s a myriad of topics that could be considered in negotiations, but I have to say, our employees have ‘gotten it’
over the last two years around the challenges facing this school district and the economic challenges facing public education,” Dackin said. “So I expect our teachers and our classified folks will continue to recognize the realities that we face and once again answer the call, as they’ve done in the past, because they are committed to the betterment of this school district.” dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
RHS grad fulfills big-league dream with Pittsburgh Pirates Continued from page A1 them and I kind of just looked around and said to myself, ‘This is really going on.’” During the June 26 game, Boston stole two bases on Fryer and he threw out Darnell McDonald at second base. He also was involved in a home-plate collision with David Ortiz in the seventh inning and struck out swinging against closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth. “There was quite a bit of stuff, sort of a trial by fire,” Fryer said. Fryer led Reynoldsburg to district championships in 2003 and 2004 and to a regional title in 2004. As a pitcher, he allowed one run in nine innings of a 2-1, 10-inning loss to Mentor in a Division I state semifinal in 2004. He had a .544 batting average and a .697 on-base percentage in 2004, and was a firstteam all-state selection. His wife also is a 2004 Reynoldsburg graduate. Fryer is the first Reynoldsburg graduate to play in the majors since 1988 graduate Mike Matheny, a catcher from 1994-2006 with the Milwaukee Brewers, Toronto Blue Jays, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants. Matheny won gold gloves with the Cardinals in 2000, 2003 and 2004, and with the Giants in 2005. Dave Starling, who coached the Reynoldsburg baseball team from 1983-2009, attended Fryer’s first two games. “It’s pretty amazing. I’m so thrilled for Eric and his family,” Starling said. “He just does everything the right way and it’s always

ERIC FRYER
Fryer will try to make the most of the opportunity. “It’s our team philosophy since spring training when (Pirates manager) Clint Hurdle told us to adapt to adversity and move forward,” Fryer said. “You’ve got to step in and fill the shoes, move forward and produce.” Current Reynoldsburg baseball coach Rob Gravatt was the hitting
coach during Fryer’s junior and senior seasons. “He taught me more than I taught him,” Gravatt said. “I’m excited for him; you don’t run into many players like him. His work ethic, leadership, intensity and competitiveness make him almost a perfect player. They all go together to make up Eric Fryer.” Fryer said he’s received some
good advice with a common theme. “It’s the same game I’ve always played, there are just more people watching,” he said of playing with the Pirates. “People have told me to have fun and enjoy it. It’s just like any other team I’ve played on. The other players are just regular people and we’re out there playing the game.”
— Reynoldsburg High School graduate called up to the major leagues
been that way. He’s so deserving of this. When I got the call, the thrill is like hearing about one of your own.” Fryer played at Ohio State for three seasons and batted .322 in 2007, his junior year. He was named second-team All-Big Ten Conference in 2006 and 2007. The Buckeyes played in the NCAA tournament in Fryer’s freshman and junior seasons. The Milwaukee Brewers drafted Fryer in the 10th round of the 2007 draft. In 2009, he was traded to the New York Yankees and then to the Pirates. Parents Joe and Robin Fryer went to Pittsburgh for their son’s debut. Joe Fryer coached his son at many levels over the years, including as an assistant at Reynoldsburg. “I’m really excited for him. He’s worked hard and dreamed about this and it came true for him,” Joe Fryer said. “It was special to see him in uniform. I had a tear in my eye. It’s a neat thing. I’m as proud as any dad can be of all three sons (Matt and Tim also graduated from
Reynoldsburg). They are all good students, people and athletes. With this for Eric, it’s his profession and it’s just one of those special moments for any parent.” Robin Fryer agreed. “I’m at a loss for words. All of his hard work over the years has given him this opportunity,” she said. “It hasn’t sunk in yet.” Eric Fryer, who is 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, started this season at Double-A Altoona and batted .345 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 37 games. He played 21 games at Indianapolis and batted .262 with two home runs and nine RBI. He has played catcher, left field and right field this season but Pittsburgh intends to use him at catcher. He is the seventh player the Pirates have used at catcher this season. Michael McKenry is expected to receive the majority of playing time behind the plate for Pittsburgh — with Fryer as his backup — while Chris Snyder is out with a back injury (60-day disabled list) and Ryan Doumit is out with an ankle injury (15-day DL).

Reynoldsburg farmers market opens July 7 By DAVID S. OWENS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Reynoldsburg’s annual farmers market will open for the season this week in Huber Park, featuring a variety of Ohio-grown produce and baked goods. Hours are from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays from July 7 to Sept. 29. Market manager Nadine Morse said 16 vendors are signed up so far. She said more usually participate as the market continues into the summer, but the weather might have taken a toll on some farmers. “We’ve had all these rains, so it will be interesting to see what comes to the market the first week or two,” Morse said. “I know a
lot of them planted and they got washed away and then they had to replant, but they seem to be very encouraged because we did have some decent weather, also.” One thing’s for sure, Morse said: Witten Farms in southeastern Ohio assured her there will be plenty of fresh sweet corn on the market’s first day. She said the fact that Reynoldsburg’s farmers market starts later in the season might also help the availability of produce, especially during the first two or three weeks. Besides sweet corn, other produce expected in the first couple of weeks includes lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, squash, green beans, cucumbers and new potatoes, Morse said. She said Old Village Meats will

be back again this year, offering a variety of fresh meats and cheeses, as will Joni’s Just Desserts, offering an array of baked goods, and Roger’s Honey. People coming home from work are target customers, she said. “That’s the crowd we would like to get involved in the market. I’ve heard some people say, ‘oh, I forget. I remember earlier in the week, then I forget.’” The market has a Facebook presence this year — Reynoldsburg Farmers Market 2011 — in an effort to expand its customer base, she said. Entertainment will be offered at the market this year, including children’s activities and live music.

Continued from page A4 years — and frankly, it’s been something we’ve been very good at doing.” He said preliminary results show 10 of the district’s 12 buildings earned an excellent rating overall. Baldwin Road Junior High and Waggoner Road Middle School earned “effective” ratings, according to the preliminary results. But Dackin said those two schools can still reach an “excellent” rating, depending on the value-added data which is to be released in August. Also, he said, the high school graduation rate of 97 percent is an improvement over the previous year’s 91.6 percent. In addition, the Ohio Graduation Test math results showed 70 percent of students enrolled in the district’s eSTEM school this past year earned “advanced” scores, compared to the state average of 38 percent, Dackin said. Assistant Superintendent Dan Hoffman said results also show the performance indicator (PI) index for the eSTEM school scored the highest in the state at 111 percent. Dackin said these achievements would not be possible without great leadership from principals and great teaching and learning by the district’s staff. “I really do believe everybody contributes to

this, whether you’re a custodian or a paraprofessional, a cook or a bus driver, teacher, certainly — everybody contributes to the learning of children,” Dackin said. Since becoming superintendent in 2008, Dackin has seen the district earn a rating of “excellent” three times. The district was ranked “effective” for the 2009-10 school year. “In the 2009-2010 school year, we narrowly missed being excellent. That year, I thought we were probably the highest-performing school district in Ohio,” Dackin said. For this last school year, however, he believes that after the official report card is released in August, Reynoldsburg schools could earn “excellent with distinction” status. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

As it were
July 4, 1911, was deadly hot, but ‘safe and sane’ It was a very hot day. July 4, 1911, in Columbus was the hottest Fourth of July since records had begun to be regularly kept in 1878. In fact, it only missed being the hottest day on record by three-tenths of one degree. The temperature peaked in the afternoon at 103.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and some said it was even hotter in some of the more densely populated parts of the city. In a time when air conditioning in its modern form did not exist and when electric fans were a luxury only the affluent could afford, heat like this could be — and often was — deadly. William Theis, a 34-year-old barber, walked into a cafe owned by one A. J. Flowers on Russell Street in the Short North. He asked for a glass of water and drank it down. He then dropped dead of heart failure. Mary Gallagher, 74, of Starr Avenue, distraught over a recent death in the family, died of heat prostration on the morning of the holiday. And on the afternoon of the Fourth, Edward Daggett, 16, went for a swim in the Scioto River near the downtown bridges with two friends to escape the heat. The river in those days was rather polluted as it passed through the city, but the young man was used to that. What killed him was the cramp that seized him when he hit the cooler water away from the sweltering shore. His drowned body was found the next day. But with only three deaths, Columbus was more fortunate than some other American cities caught in the same lengthy heat wave. Twenty-seven people died from the heat in Chicago that July 4 and 25 people died in New York. In the major cities of America, more than 134 people died of heat-related causes on Independence Day. So what exactly did people do on a holiday as warm as this one? Actually, they did quite a bit. With virtually every major business, factory, school and government office closed for the day, many people tried to get out of town and celebrate the Fourth where it might be a bit cooler. More than 500 people took the train to Buckeye Lake, where the resort town welcomed them for an old-fashioned celebration of fireworks and fun. Others took the train to Glen Mary on the North Side where Camp Mary Orton is located today, and some traveled from Columbus to Greenwood Lake in Delaware for a quiet day in the country. But most people spent the day close to home. In Columbus in recent years, we have come to expect large public celebrations like Red White and Boom!, with its small, intimate crowd of 500,000, as
June 30, 2011
well as neighborhood fireworks shows on the Fourth of July. But such was not the case a century ED ago. If anyLENTZ thing, Columbus was deeply distrustful of fireworks in 1911. For most of the previous generation, fireworks and ordnance of all sorts had been readily available to anybody with the money to buy them. In the years after the Civil War, it was not uncommon for a local militia company to fire a salute of rifle and cannon fire on the Fourth — with live ammunition. Workers at local factories often set off a quarter keg of black powder, making sure to duck to avoid flying pieces of wood. And children of all ages had all sorts of fun setting off all sorts of fireworks — and blowing off all sorts of fingers, toes and facial features in the process. By the turn of the century, many people had come to believe that enough was enough. Spearheaded by the formidable lobbying power of the Daughters of the American Revolution, many cities began to try to celebrate what had come to be called a “Safe and Sane” Fourth of July. A safe and sane Fourth was one in which the only fireworks were set off by professionals and one in which the police quickly stopped the activities of amateur celebrants. 1910 was the first year for a “Safe and Sane” Fourth in the city, and all in all, it went pretty well; 1911 was even better. In retrospect, some people argued that the young people of Columbus were finally coming to their senses and had learned not blow themselves up. Others simply concluded that it was so incredibly hot that no one had any energy to be mischievous. The real reason was probably
somewhere in between. While the safety record of the city with fireworks for July 4 was admirable, a large number of people were out and about, even in the awful heat. Olentangy Park, the largest amusement park in the city, was located along the Olentangy River, north of the Ohio State University campus. On the Fourth of July, admission was free. For most of the day, the place was packed. And at night, many people stayed for fireworks. Other people spent the day at the Glen Echo Ravine, where the Glen Echo Improvement Association hosted a day of activities and fireworks at night. Others went to a neighborhood celebration hosted by the residents of Ninth Avenue, west of Neil Avenue in the OSU area. But for people living in and near the downtown, the place to be was Statehouse Square. At 2:30 in the afternoon and again 8:30 in the evening, the Battalion Band from Columbus Barracks (later known as Fort Hayes) entertained the public with a concert on the Square. Many people, as they still do today, simply celebrated Independence Day at home. To make the day a little more special, especially with the heat, dinner was often served on the great porches of the houses of those days or on the lawns nearby. And after an evening repast, what some would remember more than the fireworks — or the lack thereof — was the large dish of peach ice cream that was served for dessert. Produced in bulk by the Busy Bee restaurant and café in downtown Columbus, the seasonal treat was a “blending of fine ripe Georgia peaches with rich Jersey cream. A quart delivered to your home for the Fourth of July, 50 cents.” It was a pleasant end to warm and memorable day. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Peripheral Neuropathy? If You Suffer From A Single One of These Torturous Symptoms: Numbness, Tingling, Burning or Sharp Nerve Pain You Must DISCOVER The Neuropathy Recovery Program! Neuropathy affects every part of your life walking, sitting, sleeping, socializing, your ability to enjoy relationships and so much more If you have tried “everything” like (Anodyne therapy, physical therapy, Lyrica®, Neurotin® or other medications) and you are not getting the lasting results you want, then this may be the most important information you have ever read! There is a simple reason that most treatments fail...because, at best, they only cover up your symptoms and do not heal your damaged nerves.
Do you have any of the following symptoms ... no sleep due to... • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the Legs and Toes • Sharp shooting or burning pains • A feeling like a sock is rolled up under your toes? If so you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.
We all know there is a tremendous difference between covering up your symptoms or actually fixing the underlying problem. So, why settle for “band-aid care” when the Neuropathy Recovery Program is available? What if you could tap into your body’s natural healing abilities by using scientific principles to restore nerve function? I asked myself that very same question: What do nerves need to stay healthy? What causes nerves damage? How can I naturally “tip-the-balance” toward repairing and restoring sick nerves while also removing what was damaging the nerves? Are you tired of pleading with doctor after doctor for more help only to get the ‘pat answer’...” “Let’s try another pill.” You don’t have to be frustrated anymore or spend tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours away from your family ... hopelessly looking for hidden answers. I already did all the leg work for you and created the Neuropathy Recovery Program. The success lies in a powerful combination of Functional Neurology (aka Brain-Based Therapy) and Functional Medicine. The Neuropathy Recovery Program packs a powerful punch against nerve damage... naturally healing the nerves from the inside out. I’m not talking about some simple explanation of you having Diabetes and “Sorry, Mrs. Jones, this is just what happens to people. We’ll try help you cope with the problem.” That is just not good enough. I’m talking about doing advanced lab work and functionally examine the nervous system so you can control your future. We must discover all the underlying mechanisms that are damaging your nervous system and correct them.
Correct diagnosis + correct treatment = Incredible Results The good news is that the principles behind my Neuropathy Recovery Program work with both diabetic and non-diabetic types of neuropathy. How does it work? By stimulating the nerves and supporting their need for fuel and activation. With advanced metabolic testing you will finally discover how to take control of your neuropathy problem. My patients know the insider secrets to recovery. They have already received their individualized Neuropathy Recovery Program and are having amazing results! Let me say this, I am not promising that I can cure everyone, no doctor can. I don’t even know if you qualify for the Neuropathy Recovery Program, that is yet to be determined, and requires proper history and examination. I am so confident I am offering a special introductory visit for just $60 if you call before July 7, 2011. (normal fee $450). The initial visit includes everything: • A thorough case history where I listen...really listen to your concerns, goals, and hope for a better future. • A thorough review of your history and any previous medical test you forward. • Complete Functional Neurology Exam • A Toronto Qualification Screening - this painless test scores how bad your neuropathy is and the type you have (large or small nerve fiber disease). • My analysis and expertise in evaluating and helping neuropathy patients from a functional perspective. Here’s What You Need To Do Now... Call today 614-367-9355 and we will get you scheduled for your consultation, exam and x-rays if needed as soon as there’s an opening, (usually 1-2 weeks) Hurry! The offer is only good until July 7, 2011. We are conveniently located in Reynoldsburg at 7333 E. Livingston Ave. When you call, tell Rasamy you’d like to come in for the Neuropathy Recovery Evaluation so she can get you on the schedule and make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.

Council OKs plan for Olde Reynoldsburg Continued from page A1 would be done. Some residents who live on Graham Road voiced their concerns at the committee meetings and sent letters to the city, saying they did not want truck traffic rerouted from Jackson Avenue onto their street. As a result, the plan was put on hold for further discussions. Haire said part of the plan says greater use of off-street parking and planned public parking off Jackson Avenue will make the section of Graham Road between Hannah Ashton Middle School and East Main Street a key pedestrian link to Main Street businesses. The plan suggests efforts should be made to make this link pedestrian-friendly by moving the designated truck route away from Jackson Avenue, thus also making the area safer for children walking to the school, he said. During previous discussions,
council President William Hills had suggested the plan be amended to include new language that would make it clearer and more easily understood. As a result, Haire and Hanson amended the plan to say the city should “study an alternative truck traffic route,” replacing former language that said “route truck traffic off of Jackson Avenue.” Also, they changed language in the plan that said the speed limit should be reduced on Main Street to say the city should “investigate a speed limit reduction for Main Street through Olde Reynoldsburg.” The clarity of the new language pleased council enough that members approves the plan Monday night. “It feels good to have it passed because we’ve done a lot of work, and it’s good to have council recognize the importance of Olde Reynoldsburg and having a plan to move it forward and help improve it,’ Hanson said.
He said the next step will be to provement program for buildings begin looking at what parking im- in the area is also being considprovements can be made to the ered. area and at what kind of identification signs and way-finding signs White Feather Farms might be possible.

The Beat: Could you have imagined the success of Ocean Eyes and the kinds of experiences that success has allowed you to have and what has been the impact and your reaction to it all? Adam Young: Never! I’m an only child from a small town in Minnesota and I was loading trucks for Coca-Cola in a sweaty warehouse two years ago. The music thing started happening and really caught me off guard. I still can’t even believe what’s going on. I remember the moment my manager called me and said one of my tracks when to No. 1 in 24 countries around the world and I almost had a heart attack. It’s been a surprising roller-coaster through and throughout.

Cabo Cocina offers good food, drinks and views Sitting up amid the treetops and watching the evening sun spend its last light on the lazily lapping ripples of the Scioto River was lulling me into a trance. Or perhaps it was the 20-ounce margaritas. Either way, perching on the aerie-like wooden deck at Cabo Cocina was proving to be an inspired idea. In fact, the groovy mood I was enjoying was so relaxing that I didn’t even mind the background reggae-tinged music Cabo plays. Owned by the Historic Dublin Restaurant Group (of the Brazenheads, Oscar’s and Tucci’s fame), Cabo sits like a roomy stone lodge high above the banks of the Scioto near Dublin. And, as I implied, its comfy patio affords some fairly spectacular riparian views. But restaurant reviewers cannot live on setting alone. Therefore, it’s fortunate that Cabo’s food is pretty fun, too. First, though, there shall be hooch. While the fuzzy-making fishbowl-sized house margaritas I alluded to (they also come in 12-ounce versions) are above

by G.A. Benton average, they’re a bit sweet for my palate. My favorite tequila slurp here was an upgrade found on the “Fancy” list — the tighter, brighter and more lime-powered La Classica ($10/$14). Foodwise (chips and an interesting salsa bar are on the house), the slightly spicy Shrimp Tostadas appetizer ($8) delivered the double crunch of deepfried shellfish nachos. Its side players were a cilantro aioli with bits of blue cheese; a warm, smoky and chunky salsa; and a nifty jicama salad. At least as good were the unique Sweet Plantains ($6.50). These were slathered in a spicy, sweet and smoky barbecue type sauce and served with jalapeno pesto plus a cooling-off yogurt dip. As for entrees, Cabo’s got tacos, bur-

ritos, fajitas, et al., but — against type — I preferred the fusion-y, MexiCaribbean stuff from the “Cabo Specialties” section. Among these, the Adobo Pork Mojados ($12.50) were pretty good: big chunks of tender and fatty pig en-
robed in a fruity, red mole-type sauce. These came with excellent beer- and onion-flavored whole “borracho” beans. I got those same neat frijoles, along with cheesy rice, to accompany the recommended Jerk Chicken relleno
($10.50). Served open-faced, the relleno featured charred peppers, tender meat and fruity accents. For more of a showstopper, though, target the Spicy and Crunchy Tilapia ($15). It’s a pretty plate rimmed with a tangy, creamy and smoky tomato sauce and starring darkly crusted, lightly panfried fish. The successful collision of flavors also includes dense, (sometimes) bacon-y smashed plantains, a scorchedcorn salsa and more of that jalapeno aioli. This tilapia’s so good you’ll remember enjoying it even if you later float off into a little summertime trance. I know I did.
New style of barbecue to enter the Columbus market Aloha Hawaiian BBQ & Asian Bistro soon will join the restaurant-laden West Fifth Avenue corridor and serve up its own brand of quick-serve Asian cuisine. Set to open in the next week, the restaurant takes over 2,500 square feet of space in the Shoppes on Fifth, where Buffalo Wild Wings and Five Guys Burgers and Fries are located. The former Panda Express location seats about 60. The family-run restaurant was born of the culinary diverse background of Ken Tsai, the chef and partner who has spent 50 years cooking in the restaurant business.
The new enterprise, 974 W. Fifth Ave., reunites Tsai with Jin Su. The two met while working together 30 years ago in their native Taiwan. Ricky Tsai, son of the chef and also a partner, doesn’t want the restaurant’s name to be misunderstood. Aloha will not serve Hawaiian cuisine, but rather will draw on the state’s reputation as a melting pot of Asian cuisines. The style of food has become increasingly popular on the West Coast, he said. “You don’t see this in the Midwest. This is some-
thing we wanted to bring to the area,” said Tsai, whose wife, Sammi, will manage the restaurant. The menu focuses on a smattering of Hawaiian entrees, many of which use the restaurant’s three homemade barbecue sauces — katsu, teriyaki and Hawaiian barbecue — which offer their own sweet, distinctive tastes. Pork, chicken, shortribs and beef are marinated for 24 hours before being cooked to order. Other dishes, such as the shrimp and mahimahi, are deep-fried. The menu delves into several Asian cuisines: Japanese, Thai and Chinese, with several noodle dishes — soups included — and stir-fried entrees. A few salads and starters are part of the lineup, as well. For logistical reasons, they shied away from sushi but do offer spam musubi, a Hawaiian dish that riffs on Japanese nigiri, a firm square of grilled spam on top of rice and held in place by a band of nori. Tsai said he recognizes the competition from nearby restaurants such as CoCo’s Grill, Happy House, Nong’s Hunan Express and Mark Pi’s Express, so most prices at his restaurant are in the $6.25 to $7.95 range. Alcohol is not served. Aloha is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-298-9688.

Owner Jason Eisenhauer said he completely rebuilt the interior of the space, which used to be a salon. He’s also in the process of building a patio. On a related note, the pub has introduced food service, although it’s limited because there is no hood system.

Wrestling
Weight classes adjusted for next season By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Some area high school wrestling coaches aren’t pleased with the new guidelines for weight classes but realize their teams will need to adapt. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) approved the changes during its meeting April 46 in Indianapolis. Tim Stried, director of information services for the Ohio High School Athletic Association, said the changes will
be in effect for the coming season. It is the first significant change in weight classes in 23 years. The lowest weight class, 103 pounds, is being increased to 106, which resulted in new weights in 10 of the 14 classes. The new weight classes are 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285. Only 145, 152, 160 and 285 remain unchanged. The previous weight classes were 103, 112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215 and 285.
“The NFHS has been studying the weight classes in wrestling for several years to determine which weight classes are most appropriate for today’s student-athletes across the country that will result in fewer classes going unfilled,” Stried said. “These new weight classes are the result of countless hours of data analysis by the NFHS, and Ohio will certainly comply with the new weight classes. Like anything, it will take some time for our member schools to be comfortable with the changes, but we can all appreciate that the NFHS is trying
to do the right thing for kids.” Westerville North coach David Grant is concerned that the increase in the lowest weight to 106 will adversely affect lighter competitors. Grant said his 103-pounder last season, Santino DiSabato, weighed between 85 and 90 pounds, but now is moving closer to 106 in preparation for next season. “I don’t like the weight class changes because it hurts the kids that are little,” Grant said. “I have Santino DiSabato, who had a hard time making 103. Now
they take it to 106, so it hurts the younger kids, the freshmen. You’re going to have a lot of kids not able to be competitive at that weight. They’re too young, too little.” Hilliard Davidson coach Dominic DiSabato, Santino’s uncle, is not in favor of the shift in weight classes. “For our program, I’m not a big fan of it,” he said. “We’ll try to get every weight class filled and then wrestle. It will hurt us in duals. Hopefully, we have See WRESTLING, page B4
Club Soccer
Two OP teams advance to semis By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Only two of the nine central Ohio boys and girls soccer teams competing in the Midwest Regional Cup, held June 25-29 in Fox Cities, Wis., won their fourteam pool to advance to a semifinal. Four of seven local squads reached a semifinal in 2009 and three of eight area teams Tourney made it to a coverage, semifinal last pgs. B2,B4 year. However, Crew Juniors Under-19 boys coach Brian Bliss said the decrease in central Ohio pool-play winners probably was because of bad luck and not a lack of talent or effort. Bliss led the Crew Juniors U19 boys squad to regional and national titles last year. This year’s Crew Juniors U-19 boys team, which didn’t retain any of last year’s players, went 1-0-2 to finish second in its pool. “There’s some luck involved in being able to win this tournament, and in our case, it ended up being the bad luck of getting a tough draw,” Bliss said. “This team has as much or more talent than we had last year, but we drew into a tougher group where every game was tough. If we would have drawn into a different group we may have gone on to win this again, but we had to spend a ton of energy in the three games we played here and we didn’t even make it out of our pool. The (blind draw for pool play) is one of the biggest reasons you rarely see a club win this tournament two or three years in a row.” The one local club that did fare well this year was the Ohio Premier Eagles, which advanced two of its four representatives to semifinals. The Ohio Premier Eagles’ four girls teams combined to go 102 in pool play. Its U-13 squad went 3-0 to win its pool and its U-16 team advanced on a tiebreaker by beating Eclipse Select of Illinois 1-0 on penalty kicks. In semifinals played June 28, the U-13 team played Eclipse Select and the U-16 team played KCFC Force from Kansas. The finals were held June 29. Regional champions in the U14 through U-19 age groups advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix. The Ohio Premier Eagles’ U18 and U-19 teams each went 21 to finish second in their pools. Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 coach Kevin Dougherty was surprised to see his squad outscore its three pool play opponents 121. “It’s pretty unusual to win three games here the way we did because all the teams competing here are very good,” Dougherty said. “The way our

Camp focuses on success off field By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
While many football camps stress Xs and Os, the Jay Richardson Camp at Dublin Scioto High School focused on life skills. The second annual camp, which was held June 24-25, was open to boys ages 11-18. Richardson, a defensive end for the Seat-
tle Seahawks who played at Ohio State and graduated from Scioto in 2002, said he was thrilled that he could hold the camp at his alma mater. The theme of the camp was “There is more to sports than the game,” and Richardson said he was eager to share that message. “This means a lot,” Richardson said. “It’s awesome that the high school was
with me on this to get all these kids in here. It’s awesome that we can get the kids educated on what their options are and their future outside of their sport.” Forty-seven boys attended last year’s inaugural camp at American Methodist Episcopal Church on North Hamilton Road in Columbus. There were 104 at this year’s camp at Scioto. “We’re telling the kids there’s more to
sports than the game and if you don’t learn the stuff that’s really important then football doesn’t matter and soccer doesn’t matter,” said Deborah Johnson, a coordinator of the event and Richardson’s mother. “Sports won’t matter if you’re not doing the right thing, if you’re not a gentleman and if you don’t have good grades, so we’re See FOOTBALL, page B4
Johnstown Sports
Reynoldsburg grad named athletics director By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
In his second year teaching in the Licking Heights Local School District, Nick McIlwain had a revelation. He was approached by longtime athletics director Don Henne about being his assistant during Henne’s final year with the district. McIlwain served as the assistant athletics director for the high school and the middle school athletics director in the 2007-08 school year. He had found his calling. On June 17, the 1999 graduate of Reynoldsburg High School was named athletics director at Johnstown-Monroe High School. “I really enjoyed (administration) because it was a way to work with the district on a much greater scale,” said McIlwain, who also will serve as assistant principal at Johnstown. “I told one of the (Licking Heights) board members how much fun I was having and he See OVERVIEW, page B2 told me that I should go back
and get my master’s (degree) so I could become an AD.” McIlwain, who received his master’s in educational leadership from the University of Cincinnati last December, has taught history at Cincinnati Finneytown (2003-06) as well as Licking Heights (2006-11). He also was the Hornets varsity golf coach last season and an assistant girls basketball coach in 2006-07 and 2009-10. “Mr. McIlwain led a strong field of candidates through the application and interview process — in large part based on a well-rounded set of experiences in education and athletics,” Johnstown superintendent Damien Bawn said. “His dedication to being an essential member of a learning organization — along with an obvious understanding of the value and challenge inherent in maintaining a solid program of extracurricular, athletic activities — was solidly evidenced through the enthusiasm and the sense of drive that Mr. McIl-

2011 Midwest Regional Cup
Team Ohio F.C.
U-18 boys settle for 2nd in pool play By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Team Ohio F.C. Blast Under-18 boys soccer team found itself with a shortened bench in the Midwest Regional Cup in Fox Cities, Wis., after defender Angelo Pagani and midfielder Drew Pang were injured in the first game. Despite the loss of those starters, Team Ohio Blast managed to go 1-0-1 in its first two pool-play games, tying CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati at 2 on June 25 and beating the Michigan Wolves 3-0 on June 26. However, it couldn’t overcome the ejection of starting defender Max Rohda less than 20 minutes into its final game of pool play June 27 and lost to the KCFC Rangers from Kansas 1-0. The KCFC Rangers won their four-team pool with a 3-0 record and nine points to advance to a semifinal June 28, while Team Ohio Blast finished second (11-1, 4). “That was a nightmare because we had a player sent off the field for a penalty that didn’t happen,” coach Steve Dawson said. “We had three players collide and the referee gave (Rohda) a red card out of it. They got a penalty shot on that play, too, and our goalkeeper (A.J. Fleak) made a great save to keep us in the game. Our team dealt with the situation the best they could and Colton Bloecher had a couple of great opportunities where he could have scored, as did Frazier Fernandes. But it was tough to play with 10 men because it was warm and it was our third game in three days. Our players grew tired as the game wore on and we finally gave up a goal with about 20 minutes left.” Jesus Villarroel and Bloecher each scored goals to help Team Ohio Blast rally from a 2-0 deficit to tie CUP Crew Juniors. The following day, Bloecher, Villarroel and Fernandes scored as Team Ohio Blast defeated the Michigan Wolves. “We had some injuries, but we played well overall and came one win away from making it past group play,” Dawson said. •The Team Ohio Green U17 boys team went 0-1-2 to finish third in its pool with two points behind Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors (3-0, 9) and Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier (1-1-1, 4).
Team Ohio Green opened June 25 by tying Shattuck-St. Mary’s from Minnesota at 1, as Ray Gans scored the tying goal on a penalty kick with 20 minutes remaining. The next day, Team Ohio Green battled Elm Grove Premier to a scoreless tie behind goalkeeper A.J. Tresoline. “It’s frustrating because we played better than both those teams and should have beaten them, but we didn’t finish our chances,” defender A.G. Basiakos said. “We played great defense, but we didn’t score enough to win.” On June 27, Team Ohio Green lost to the Grand Rapids Crew Juniors 4-2 despite goals from Ryan Magee and Trevin Pitroff. The Grand Rapids Crew Juniors, who are ranked first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, outscored their first two opponents 11-0. “We were the first team to score against Grand Rapids and By Patrick Ferron/ThisWeek we were down only 3-2 late in Sage Gardner of the Ohio Crew Juniors U-19 team chases down the ball on June 25 during a game against St. Croix, Minn.

Area players shine for Hidden Gems By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tapre Young could have several options in terms of her basketball career if things continue in the direction they’ve been going this summer. Now in her third season as a captain on the Columbus Hidden Gems semi-professional team, the 2004 Dublin Scioto High School graduate is one of the top outside shooters in the Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League. At 5-foot-11, Young averages more than 15 points and has been shooting better than 50 percent from 3-point range. That combination could make her an attractive possibility for overseas teams looking for players for their seasons, which begin in the fall. “I haven’t played anywhere overseas, but hopefully I will after this season,” Young said. “I really wouldn’t mind playing in Spain, France or anywhere in Europe. I’d even consider Australia. Any time you can get paid for what you do, it’s a good thing.” If Young is unable to land a professional contract, she has an offer to serve as an assistant coach for the Talladega (Ala.) College women’s team. After graduating from Scioto, Young played two seasons for Muskingum and two seasons for Salem International, a Division II school in Salem, W.Va. She then served one season as a student-assistant coach and graduated from Talladega College. Young, who celebrated her 25th birthday June 26, is one of seven players on the Hidden Gems who are central Ohio na-

tives. “(The Women’s Blue Chip League) is good competition, especially when you get to nationals,” Young said. “I like the fact that you get an opportunity to play and it gives you the opportunity to get looked at overseas. It’s a chance to showcase your talents.” After getting off to a 2-0 start, the Hidden Gems were 3-4 after losing to the Cleveland Crush 84-74 on June 25. On Saturday, July 2, Columbus will play host to the Oakland-Macomb Run from Oakland, Mich., in a Northeast Division game. The Hidden Gems lost to the Run 87-67 on June 5 but won a rematch 97-85 on June 12. The Hidden Gems play their home games at Lazelle Woods Recreation Center in north Columbus near Worthington. The roles of Young and cocaptain Lorrie Poindexter, a 2003 Beechcroft graduate in her second year playing for Columbus, are more extensive than a year ago when former Ohio State player Brandie Hoskins and former Bowling Green player Niki McCoy were among the key players. Jeannie Saunders, who also was a captain a year ago, has been out with an injury but could
return in July. Saunders and 2006 Delaware graduate Ashleigh Brown, who has played limited minutes with the Hidden Gems this season because of other commitments, recently signed extensions to play for a team in Sweden in the fall. Jamika Banks, a Fort Wayne, Ind., native who also was expected to play for Columbus, currently is playing in Australia. Catherine Cain, a Dayton native, has been averaging 19 points and 12 rebounds. Jessica Slack, a Thornville Sheridan graduate, averages 13 points. The other central Ohio natives on the Hidden Gems are 1999 Brookhaven graduate Ebony Pegues, 2001 Mifflin graduate Sherrie Griffin, 2006 Africentric graduate Janicia Anderson and 2003 Walnut Ridge graduate Tina Huff. Columbus has three games remaining in the regular season before competing in the regional tournament in late July in Flint, Mich. The national tournament will be held Aug. 6-7 in Atlanta. Poindexter will begin her third season this winter as the girls basketball coach at Walnut Ridge. “I think everything is going

OK,” said Poindexter, who is averaging 14 points and five assists. “We’re a whole new team really and we’ve just got to work together better. We’re better than
the teams that have beaten us. We don’t have any superstars this year. Our team has a whole lot of heart and we just have to keep our team chemistry. By the
time we get to Atlanta, we’ll be fine.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Tennis
Columbus team wins Ohio Valley Davis Cup event By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Tyler Stephen, who recently was named coach of the Dublin Jerome High School girls tennis team, will enter his new job this fall with a fresh perspective of the sport in central Ohio. Stephen and Worthington Kilbourne boys tennis coach Steve Metzmaier guided an 11-player team of some of the area’s top boys and girls tennis players to a firstplace finish in the Ohio Valley Davis Cup

on June 18-19 in Charleston, W.Va. “It was kind of nice to have all that talent on the same team,” said Stephen, who also is coach of the Thomas Worthington boys team. “Most of the time these kids are competing against each other in tournaments, so they all knew each other. But it was a little different situation because now they were competing with each other. Everyone got along so well.” The Columbus team went 3-0 in the tournament. It defeated Cincinnati Gold
6-4 and Dayton 9-1 on June 18 to place first in the top division, and it also defeated Cincinnati Silver 9-1 on June 19. Each match consisted of 10 courts — two boys singles matches, two girls singles matches, two boys doubles matches, two girls doubles matches and two mixed doubles matches. The boys roster featured Watterson’s Aaron Casares, Jerome’s Kent Seitz, Gahanna’s Canyon Teague and Upper Arlington’s Eric Vannatta and Nate Wallace. The girls players were Lauren
Bellinger and Sarah Stein of Jerome, Meghan Buell and Cristina DiLorenzo of New Albany, UA’s Elaine Cloern and Watterson’s Katie Shepherd. Bellinger, Buell, Shepherd and Stein competed in the Division I girls state tournament last fall and Seitz, Vannatta and Wallace played in the Division I boys state tournament in the spring. Stein, who teamed with Bellinger to place second in the state with a 6-4, 62 loss to Cincinnati Ursuline Academy’s Komal Safdar and Mehvish Safdar in
the doubles final, said the Ohio Valley Davis Cup provided a good tune-up for summer and fall competition. “The main thing you pick up is confidence, I guess,” she said. “It’s mostly just for fun.” “The best thing was having us all together,” Bellinger said. “We all know each other and we all hit with each other. I think that made us a good team.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

2011 Midwest Regional Cup
Classics Eagles
Missed chances haunt U-13 boys team By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Even though the Classics Eagles Under-13 boys soccer team had squandered several scoring chances against the Wichita (Kan.) Lightning in its Midwest Regional Cup opener June 25, coach Mike Lentz felt comfortable with a late one-goal lead because his squad was dominating possession. However, those missed opportunities came back to haunt the Classics Eagles. A Lightning player drew a foul 19 yards from the team’s goal with under a minute
left and scored on a free kick to tie the game at 1. That tie proved costly to the Classics Eagles in the tournament in Fox Cities, Wis. They lost to Vardar from Michigan 4-0 the following day and eventually finished third in their four-team pool with a 1-1-1 record and four points behind Cleveland Pacesetter (2-1, 6) and Vardar (2-1, 6). Out of the Classics Eagles’pool, only Cleveland Pacesetter advanced to a regional semifinal June 28. Cleveland Pacesetter finished first on a tiebreaker because it had beaten Vardar.
Nick Teutsch beat three defenders en route to scoring on a low, hard shot just inside the far post to put the Classics Eagles ahead 1-0 in the first half against the Lightning. Will Bolton almost made it 2-0 with 20 minutes left, but his shot hit the left post. “We had total ball control and we only gave up one shot on goal each half, so I felt pretty comfortable in the way we were playing even after we missed out on all of those chances to score a second goal,” Lentz said. “But we got called for a foul and gave up that late goal, and
it took away our momentum and confidence. Had we won that game, I’d like to think we’d have played much better against Vardar. Knowing we had to beat Vardar to have a chance to win our pool, we pushed forward a little more than usual, which left us more vulnerable defensively. And we just didn’t match Vardar’s intensity.” The Classics Eagles concluded pool play June 27 with a 2-0 victory over Cleveland Pacesetter. A.J. Smith scored what would become the winner 12 minutes into the game from 25 yards out.
In the second half, Teutsch scored off an assist from Jake Harr and goalkeeper A.J. Smith made a diving save to his left to preserve the shutout. “That was the best we’ve played all spring,” Lentz said. “We dismantled them in every category, especially when it came to shots on goal and time of possession. It was nice to beat our group winner. We finished a great spring run with a commanding performance.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Ohio Premier
Eagles advance two girls squads to semis By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Ohio Premier Eagles advanced two of four girls soccer teams to Midwest Regional Cup semifinals after pool play concluded June 27 in Fox Cities, Wis. Ohio Premier went 10-2 overall in pool play. The Under-13 and U-16 squads both went 3-0 in pool play and played in semifinals June 28. The regional winners in the U-14 through U-19 age groups, which were determined June 29, advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in Phoenix on July 27-31. The Eagles U-13 team played Eclipse Select of Illinois in its semifinal. Eclipse is a familiar opponent for Ohio Premier. “Unfortunately, our semifinal is the one that everyone says should be the final, but in a blind draw, this happens,” coach Kevin Dougherty said. “We’re friends with the Eclipse and know a lot about them. They have a huge organization that draws from a large area. We’ve played all five of their 13U club teams, but then they combine their best players for the tournaments. They have many very special players.” The Eagles defeated Carmel (Ind.) United SC Elite 3-1 to open pool play. They then beat Greater Toledo FC 5-0 and advanced to a semifinal by beating Centennial (Minn.) 4-0. Against Carmel, Kristen McFarland scored twice and Alivia Milesky also scored. Sam Grim made four saves but allowed a late goal. She then earned the shutout against Toledo, as McFarland scored and assisted on goals by Madison Moroi and Aubrei Corder. Milesky and Bailey Williams also scored. Against Centennial, Moroi had two goals. Corder and McFarland also scored and Grim and Parker Myers were rarely challenged in net. “We scored three goals in the first nine minutes and just began moving girls around, having some fun, working on some things and just trying not to get anyone injured,” Dougherty said. •The U-16 team had to get past Eclipse Select in pool play to advance, and the Eagles did that in dramatic fashion in the finale to move on to a semifinal against KC Force on June 28. The Eagles beat Eclipse Select on the 10th penalty kick after neither team had scored entering the penalty kicks sessions. Both teams scored on two of five penalty kicks to force the extra one-kick rounds, where they matched each other’s efforts until Bailey Wilson converted in the 10th round after Eagles goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas had stopped Eclipse’s 10th kick. James-Buhigas made five saves in the penalty kicks phase. “She was unbelievable and came up with huge saves when we needed them,” said coach Chris King, whose team outscored its opponents 10-0 in pool play. “Usually, you tell the keeper to get one save in (penalty kicks) and we’ll win it. She had

saves on five of 10 penalty kicks and they were off frame with another. She was just outstanding.” The Eagles won their first two games 7-0 against KC Fusion and 3-0 against Michigan Football Club to put themselves into a points tie with Eclipse before their showdown. “The maximum goal-differential in tiebreakers here is four per game, so both us and Eclipse had seven total points entering (the June 27 pool finale),” said King, who also guided the Eagles’ U-18 team to the regional tournament. “We knew going into it that there had to be a winner and that it could go to penalty kicks. One team was going to the semifinal and the other was going home.” Two years ago, the clubs played in the U-16 regional championship and the Eclipse won in a shootout to send the Eagles home. Against the Fusion, the Eagles used three goals from Lindsay Agnew and one apiece from Nicole Hopkins, Alexis Milesky, Hannah O’Shaughnessy and Brooke Maletic. O’Shaughnessy, Milesky and Agnew scored against Michigan Football Club. The defense was strong in front of James-Buhigas, who made just five total saves in the first two pool games. •The U-19 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance. The Eagles opened by beating Dynamo of Indiana 5-1 before losing to defending regional champion Eclipse (Ill.) 3-0 and beating Bloomfield (Mich.) 5-1 in the finale. Against Dynamo, Sarah Gross scored twice. Also scoring were Nadja Kolliesuah, Ellie Gavin and

the number of classes went from 13 to 14 and the 215-pound weight class became mandatory, and in 2006, when the 275-pound class was increased to 285. The NFHS also adopted a rule change involving the figure four hold around the head, which now is illegal. Previously, the figure four was illegal around the body or both legs. “I like the new rule, it will work out,” Grant said. “The figure four is unfair. It’s a pretty big advantage to have that locked up like that. I don’t like the figure four. ... Two legs against the neck is usually not a good idea.” In another change, the boundary line now is considered inbounds. Previously, a wrestler was out of bounds if he or she was touching any part of the line, which is two inches wide. “I like expanding the mat a little bit and having the line inbounds instead of out of bounds,” coach DiSabato said. “I’m just curious how it’s going to be called because of the size of the gyms. The mats are closer together, but you award the aggressor as much as you can and that tends to help out if the line is inbounds rather than out of bounds.”
a couple bigger kids coming out for the team next year and it won’t hurt us as bad as it could have in the past. We just have to have our wrestlers wrestle the best they can. The other schools are in the same position we are.” Marysville coach Shawn Andrews said his program will adapt to the new guidelines, and he believes the changes actually might help his team next season. Andrews said he expects the lower weights to be a strength of his program. “Looking at it selfishly for a year or two, it helps Marysville specifically because it’s where we have more guys than less guys, but in the broad scope of wrestling, it seems a little odd that they took away a weight class from some of the weight classes that are most competitive and then added some at the top,” Andrews said. “It helps some kids from football or some kids who are concerned about losing too much weight between 171 and 189.” According to the NFHS, the last major change in weight classes occurred in 1988, when the lowest class was increased from 98 to 103. The only other changes fdirenna@thisweeknews.com since then were in 2002, when www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Casey Barrett. Shannon Flowers made three saves. Against Eclipse, the teams played a scoreless first half. The Eagles trailed 1-0 with about 10 minutes left when they changed their strategy to try to apply more offensive pressure. “The first half was evenly contested, but we should’ve scored first and led at half,” coach Matt Ogden said. “We needed at least a draw, so it didn’t matter if the final was 1-nil or 3-nil. We had 13 players and they wore us down in the second half. But if we score first, we can play a little different style and try to preserve the lead and get a positive result.” The Eagles got goals from Barrett, Gross, Andrea Hulls and Amber Kern in the finale, as well as an own-goal from Bloomfield. “We had nothing to play for, so we made it a farewell game for these girls who have played together for a long time,” Ogden said. “Flowers marshaled the box pretty well, but we controlled tempo and possession throughout after we fell behind 10. We definitely feel that we are a team worthy of advancing, but it wasn’t meant to be. If we played Eclipse on a different day, things might have been different. But we made mistakes and that’s soccer.
We came back and played hearts-out and that was fantastic.” •The U-18 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance. The Eagles lost their opener 3-1 to KCFC Intensity. They beat Eden Prairie (Minn.) 2-1 and then won 5-2 over Dakota Alliance Black of South Dakota. King was disappointed by the opening loss, but credited the Intensity. “That’s the best team we’ve played in the last two seasons,” King said. “We were down 2-1 and gave ourselves a couple good chances to even it up. But we were unable to do that and we started pressing and got caught forward. We exposed ourselves and they got the extra goal.” Ashley Gruenbaum scored for Ohio Premier. The Eagles trailed Eden Prairie 1-0 after allowing a goal just before halftime. But Jesse Sabers tied it and Michela Paradiso scored the winner with around 11 minutes remaining. Goalie Abbey Smith preserved the win from there. bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
JOHNNIES Continued from page B1 wain displayed during face-toface interview sessions.” McIlwain replaces Mike Carter, whose contract as athletics director and dean of students at the high school was not renewed. “I want to make sure everyone is on the same page and everyone has the same goals,” McIlwain said. “I’m the new person in town and I will be getting everyone up to speed on what we want. There is a great group of people already there (at Johnstown) and the
support has been terrific. I look forward to working with (Johnstown principal) Mr. (Kim) Jakeway and others to get things up and going.” McIlwain earned a bachelor’s degree in secondary education from Wilmington College, where he played two seasons of baseball and two seasons of golf. “I played baseball my first two seasons until I had a shoulder injury,” said McIlwain, who is giving up coaching to work exclusively as an administrator. “After that, I played golf in my final two years because I
always wanted to play golf and this gave me the chance to still be competitive.” McIlwain and his wife, Becky, live in New Albany. “I look forward to working with the people and building on the great foundation of athletics as well as the academic experience, and I’m glad to have a chance to take both to new heights,” McIlwain said. “The sky’s the limit with both this district and the athletics program.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
FOOTBALL Continued from page B1 teaching them how to do those other things right.” Those messages were conveyed by guest speakers who included area court, police and military officials. Michael Carter, who will be entering sixth grade at Tree of Life, said he learned a lot from the presentations. “I like the way they’re talking, like mentors and the way you have to do better stuff and try to do the right thing,” he said. Sam Tickle, who served 11 years in the U.S. Navy, began the camp by sharing sto-
ries and a video on his completion of 30 sports in 30 cities in 30 days. Tickle’s presentation, part of the EAS Unstoppable Tour, focused on proper sports nutrition and setting and achieving goals. “The one thing that I wanted to push is your brain gives up before your body gives up,” Tickle said. “You can push yourself a lot further when you just set your mind to it. If you’re able to train your brain to realize that pain is just temporary and that if you focus on a goal, your body will perform the way it needs to.” Current and former members of the Ohio State football program also shared their ex-
periences. That group included Taylor Rice, a 2008 Scioto graduate and junior defensive back with the Buckeyes. The camp also featured NFL players including Mike Mitchell, a safety with Oakland and a former teammate of Richardson, who was drafted by the Raiders in 2007. “The one message that I want kids to take away from this camp is never underestimate yourself and know your options,” Richardson said. “You can do anything you want to do, but you have to know what to do.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
