Community Development Committee
Backyard chickens to be debated June 6 By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Whether Reynoldsburg residents will be allowed to raise chickens in their backyards will be on the Community Development Committee’s June 6 agenda. Councilwoman Leslie Kelly, who chairs the committee, said she will be meeting with council clerk Nancy Frazier and city attorney Jed Hood to make
sure the proper procedures are in place to allow the practice. The issue of raising backyard chickens was brought up during a May 9 city council meeting by resident Richard Boone, who said he and his family want to raise chickens in their backyard but had found city code is unclear on the subject. He found in the city’s ordinance on “Keeping Wild Or Exotic Animals” does
not specifically mention chickens or domestic poultry. Boone asked if city officials would consider discussing the issue and agree to amend the ordinance to include chickens or domestic poultry. The issue caught the attention of another resident, Matt Jorgenson, of 7412 Bryden Road, who said he used to raise chickens but stopped after discovering the city’s ordinance might not allow it.
“When I first tried to do it, I had similar frustrations trying to figure out in the ordinances if they were specifically prohibited or permitted,” Jorgenson said. “There are certain types of pets that are listed and there’s certain types of farm animals that are prohibited. Chickens weren’t mentioned, as far as I recall,” he said. Jorgen said he would like to see clarification on the issue because keeping
chickens in an urban area is a trend and he would like to work at forming a club with others who are also interested in raising chickens. Kelly said she thinks allowing people to raise chickens in their backyards is a great idea. “I would like to be able to allow people to raise backyard chickens, but I See CHICKENS, page A2

23 valedictorians lead class of 2011 By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers This year’s class of almost 400 Reynoldsburg High School seniors were led by 23 valedictorians during the May 31 graduation ceremony. All students who earn an accumulated grade point average of 4.0 or higher during the eight semesters of their high school careers earn the designation of valedictorian.
RHS principal Ed Johnson said he is proud of this year’s valedictorians, calling them “perfectly fine young men and women.” He noted the number of valedictorians throughout the years has been consistent. “Historically, we’ve had 20-plus valedictorians each year and we’ve always had a National Merit Scholar thrown in there. When I look around the area at other schools, we’re competitive with the best,” Johnson said.
“It’s a consistent excellent performance by our seniors every year, and I think it speaks highly of the teachers and students, and district K through 12.” Johnson said start of the district’s four STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) academies could boost the number of students achieving valedictorian status even higher.

Volunteers are still needed for Reynoldsburg’s annual Community Clean-Up Week, scheduled for June 3-12. Event chairman Mary Hudson said in addition to throwing away trash from their yards, basements or garages for Rumpke to collect on the June 9 regular trash day, residents can also hold garage sales during the week event without having to pay the $1 fee. Saturday, June 4, is being dubbed Community Clean-up Day. The city will offer document-shredding facilities and bulk-item and electronics disposal bins in the parking lot at the municipal building, 7232 E. Main St. In addition, Hudson said, residents who bring in old and/or broken red recycling bins will receive replacement bins. She said bins for trash and bulk items would remain in the parking lot throughout the weeklong event. Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department director Jason Shamblin said a new addition to the event on Saturday will be that representatives from Habitat for Humanity will See CLEAN-UP WEEK, page A2

cause a lot of fields don’t have lights on them, so I was thinking of a way to see without lights,” Klecan said. As a result, during an Invention Convention class in March, taught by Todd Stanley, Klecan said he came up with the idea for the glowin-the-dark pellets. He then worked on building a scale model of a soccer field, about the size of an eightinch by 11-inch textbook, and spread glow-in-the-dark pellets on it. When he tested it, the pellets lit up the turf, so he was selected to participate in this year’s Invention Convention along with six other students from his class.

be on hand to collect any building materials residents want to recycle. He said the representatives will be selective on the things they will take because the materials will be used for Habitat for Humanity projects. “By recycle I mean it’s things like if residents have leftover two-by-fours that are in good shape, or doors or flooring that are still in good working order,” Shamblin said. Habitat for Humanity ReStore director Jared VanDyne said the group also will be looking for appliances and furniture. “Almost anything that’s not a safety hazard or bio-hazard — we don’t accept single-pane windows or used toilets, but other than that, it’s anything for a house
that’s in reasonable, safe condition,” VanDyne said. Volunteers who wish to help should arrive at the municipal building on Saturday, preferably at 8:30 a.m., Shamblin said, so they can learn what tasks they will be asked to do, but he said volunteers can show up at any time during the day. He said Clean-Up Day on Saturday begins at 9 a.m. and runs until 3 p.m. “If they call us ahead of time and let us know what their preference is on what they would like to do, that can help us get things more organized, but they can show up any time that day,” Shamblin said. “We’ll have people helping collect electronics or passing out new recycling bins or helping at the dumpsters and recycle bins, but we’ll have plenty of things for people to do.”

CHICKENS would like for it to be regulated where we’re regulating the number of chickens, how they would be contained, and things like that,” she said. “Personally, I have no problem with it as long as we can regulate it. I wouldn’t want somebody to have a chicken farm in their backyard,” she said. “But like there are people who have rabbit hutches, if you have egg-laying hens and you have them kept in a solid structure and they’re maintained, I don’t have a problem with that.” Kelly said allowing people to raise chickens would not only bring them closer to the food chain, it could also be educational and fun for families.

She said bringing the issue up for discussion would also be a good opportunity for residents to provide their input and maybe raise ideas the city might not be considering. “I like the idea from Mr. Jorgenson … having a backyard chicken club, again, you’re bringing the community together in a positive way. Just like we have the community garden, it would just be another opportunity for that,” Kelly said. “I think the more you can get your community involved in a positive manner is a good thing.” dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Commissioners oppose Pataskala’s sewer-service plans By MICHAEL J. MAURER
The commissioners’letter states
ThisWeek Community Newspapers that the commissioners will pur-
The Licking County commissioners formally notified Pataskala by letter May 17 that they object to the city’s plans to expand its sewer-service area under an EPA-approved “208 plan,” in reference to the federal law that allows the Ohio EPA to designate sewer-service providers in a geographic area. Following a utility study performed in 2010 by W.E. Stilson Consulting, engineers for the city, Pataskala officials decided they would promote the city’s utility service to expand its service area, allowing existing capital costs to be spread over a larger customer base.
sue their objections with the EPA and asks that Pataskala limit its service to its corporate boundaries. County commissioner Tim Bubb said the commissioners see the 208 plan as a way to avoid wasteful duplicate infrastructure. “We view this as an overreach by Pataskala,” Bubb said. “This 208 is a planning document in every county so you don’t have redundancy. At a time when we are all struggling to pay for infrastructure and government service, one thing you don’t need in water and sewer is laying lines on top of lines.” Bubb cited the construction of a second Reynoldsburg high

school on Summit Road as an example of one entity already having collection lines installed and a second entity installing another set of lines. “They spent a lot of money and put a lot of infrastructure in the ground but because the 208 plans conflicted and the service areas were on top of each other, essentially it allowed Reynolds-
burg and Reynoldsburg schools to come in right on top of them with additional infrastructure and serve that area,” Bubb said. “EPA allowed that to happen but our position is that is crazy. It is very expensive to put sewer and water infrastructure in the ground. In areas where that investment has been made and the service exists, creating confusion and overlap just does not seem in the interest of good government.” The millions of dollars spent on collection systems is paid for in rate increases to sewer system customers. “Guess who pays the debt? People who are the customers do, through rates and debt service,” Bubb said.
Pataskala Mayor Steve Butcher made a distinction between the capacity to provide service, which, he said, was a legitimate planning question, from a decision to actually provide service. “All we are being asked is, if there were service provided there, do we have the capacity to provide service?” Butcher said. “The answer is obviously yes, we do have the ability, if there were a need. If we were being asked today, would we provide service, the answer would be no, because we are not prepared today. In certain areas, such as the (state Route) 161 corridor, we might say yes, we are prepared to provide service, but we would need to debate that. “We’re only answering the
question, do we have the ability to provide it? We don’t know that we are even interested in providing it to most of the areas we are talking about. That’s not the question that was asked.” Bubb said the commissioners would oppose adding overlapping access in the 208 planning area. “They don’t have the plant or infrastructure in place to do that,” Bubb said. “They’re taking advantage of the 208 process to just sort of cast a big wide net. It does not make sense. “We are absolutely opposed to EPA even considering altering the 208 plan to give Pataskala some overreaching stretch of duplicate service area. We’re going to aggressively oppose that.”

Columbus2020!
Central Ohio’s prospects for job growth are promising Pharmaceutical companies often are judged by their “pipeline” of future products. Their stock price could fluctuate on the value of this pipeline and the potential it has to drive future revenue. The Columbus2020! initiative also tracks its pipeline of potential projects, those competitive initiatives that could add jobs and investment in the Columbus region. A close analysis likely would warrant a “buy” recommendation if the Columbus region were selling shares of stock. The Columbus2020! initiative’s pipeline comprises companies that aren’t here yet but that are considering central Ohio for new facilities, as well as existing companies that are considering expansion locally and a host of new enterprises that are being developed through TechColumbus and at satellite entrepreneurial centers throughout the area. One thing is clear: The level of activity is up compared to the past several years, and our prospects for the future are bright. A closer look at the new companies looking at our region shows that 58 percent of the projects are small- to medium-size operations in the advanced-manufacturing sector; 28 percent are international companies considering the United States, and a framework for headquarters and back-office projects has the potential to create hundreds of jobs. Projects are being sourced from nearly every corner of the nation, and each international mission is creating qualified projects.
The region’s technology incubators and entrepreneurial centers are nearing capacity in Columbus, Dublin and New Albany, driven by market opportunities in the advanced-energy, advanced-materials, information-technology and medicalKENNY healthcare sectors. MCDONALD It is a testament to the efforts of state and local leaders that such operations exist to nurture these new enterprises that represent the future of central Ohio. As another indicator, in 2010 funding for local startups reached new heights as a record-setting 117 promising young companies received $307.56 million in innovation capital to fuel the growth of their businesses. This is a 73-percent increase over 2009. TechColumbus has the entire report online at TechColumbus.org. The Columbus area has to compete to win these projects, and the companies have to execute on their plans for our potential to be realized, but the market potential is there. The Columbus region has a lot to feel good about: Its future prospects for job growth and investment look great. Kenny McDonald is chief economic officer for Columbus2020!

As it were
Wind, weather created past havoc This has been one of those years when we have seen a lot of rain in the early spring. It certainly has not been the first time this has happened and it certainly will not be ED the last. At the rate LENTZ we are going, the rainfall may even set a record. A lot of people have left Ohio in recent years for any number of reasons. Many people, attracted by the possibilities of new work in a new place, have left Ohio and the “Rustbelt” for the “Sunbelt” states of the southern United States. And in those Sunbelt states, many people have found what they sought: new jobs in a new place. It is a place that is dry and clear and clean and where people do not have to worry about snow and sleet and hail. But then, on the other hand, they might have to worry about having any water at all. If I had to choose, I would take the snow. And so, too, apparently, did a lot of our forebears. It is interesting to note that when our country was being settled, people flooded into America from Great Britain to all parts of the Atlantic Coast from Georgia to Maine. For a number of reasons, the north was settled faster than the south and the first great cities of America were places like Boston, New York and Philadelphia. It is also important to observe that when Americans began moving, they did not move south. They moved west into the territory north and west of the Ohio River. It was this Ohio Country, this Northwest Territory, which became the place most Americans wanted to be. It is not hard to see why. The land in New England and the Middle Colonies was hard and thin and brittle to the plow. The topsoil in Ohio was six, 10 and even 12 inches deep and easy to the plow. The summers were warm — but not too warm. The winters were cold — but not too cold. It seemed like a good place to be. And it was. It is. Most of the time. Those few times when it isn’t take some getting used to. My friends from Florida sometimes visit me. These veterans of more than one hurricane have asked me often how I can live in the shadow of the tornadoes that sweep across the state. My friends from Oregon — who saw a volcano explode in their neighborhood — ask me how we survive the great blizzards of occasional Ohio winters. My answer to them is always the same: If a hurricane or a volcano cannot be frightening to you, why should a swift and simple wind — with or without a little snow — be fearful to me? If you grow up in Tornado Alley, you do not fear the wind. The rain is another matter. The rain, with enough time and

enough force, brings the great floods that have swept through the state from time to time. From the time it was settled, the town at the forks of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers saw more than 11 major floods between 1798 and 1913. They always came in the spring, between February and April, and put most of the lowlands around Columbus under five to 15 feet of water. The worst one came in March 1913. The ground in central Ohio was still frozen when a spring storm dumped five inches of rain on the empty land. The flood that followed put the West Side of Columbus under more than a dozen feet of water and killed 94 people. After the flood, the Army Corps of Engineers came to town and put measures in place to prevent a flood like that from ever happening again. The result was a whole new set of bridges across the Scioto and the widening of the Scioto to twice its previous width as it passed through the downtown. From these beginnings came the riverfront, a whole new entrance to the city from the west along U.S. Route 40 (the National
Road), a road whose bicentennial is being celebrated this year. The Corps of Engineers was successful. A flood like the one in 1913 has never happened again. A flood in 1959 that put much of the Near West Side under water happened for different reasons. And those conditions have been corrected as well. So we like to think the worst problems have been solved. And so they have. But then, there is always the rain. Living in central Ohio, I suppose we need to understand that a lot of wind and water will still be our lot. This is nothing new. In August 1831, Isaac Appleton Jewett wrote home to Boston from Columbus, then a town of less than 2,000 people: “Torrents of rain have been pouring down upon us the entire summer. Deucalion’s age would have been a dry time to this. The heavens are hung with black for weeks. Indeed, I may say with truth, we have not had a clear day this summer.” Some things change in central Ohio. Some things do not.

CREATIVITY Continued from page A1 company LazerKraze chose Klecan’s invention for the “Out of This World Creative” scholarship of $500. He said Klecan’s original idea was a glow-in-the-dark soccer ball, but he had to change that idea because one of the requirements is that the inventions must be completely original. “So he altered his idea and came up with the glow-pellets where it would allow you to establish the field,” Stanley said. He said Klecan is a well-spoken young man and is proud of his achievement winning the award. “Part of the process is not just the idea, but how you present that idea, and Mitch is very mature and he presented it very well and very clearly,” Stanley said. “The one thing we do, in addition to the model, is we spend two or three days just on the presentation part — how to shake hands, being confident when you’re speaking, and how your first impression is the most important one. “The fact of the matter is, no matter how great the idea is, if you can’t communicate that idea, then no one will understand it,” he said. Besides playing soccer, Klecan said he also enjoys playing bass in the Reynoldsburg school orchestra. He wants to study architecture in college.

THE “STEALTH” HEARING INSTRUMENT
For those who prefer a hearing instrument that is completely imperceptible and surpassingly convenient, there is the 100 percent invisible extended-wear model. This exceptionally small prescription hearing instrument is placed by a professional into the wearer’s ear canal about four millimeters from the eardrum. Once in place, it is worn continuously for three to four months until it is replaced with a new one. In the meantime, wearers need not concern themselves with battery changes or poor hearing that comes with non-wear. Because they work with the ear’s anatomy to direct sound into the ear canal, extended-wear instruments provide excellent clarity. This is just one option among many for people looking for the instrument that best suits their needs.

Diamond Gause (front) sprints to the finish line in the 800-meter relay preliminary during the Division I regional meet May 25 at Pickerington North. The Raiders won the event in 1:41.07 and will compete in the state meet, which is Friday and Saturday, June 3-4, at Ohio State.
Track & Field
Raiders girls cruise to fourth straight title By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Members of the Reynoldsburg High School girls track and field team cheered and shouted “no more second place” after the final team results were announced in the Division I regional meet that concluded May 27 at Pickerington North. After settling for third place in the OCCOhio Division meet May 12 and 14 and being the runners-up in the Division I, district 3 meet that concluded May 21 at Hilliard Bradley, the Raiders secured their first meet championship of the season at regional. Despite not scoring in distance races or jumping events, the Raiders scored 88 points to win their fourth consecutive regional championship and fifth title in six years, finishing well ahead of runner-up Dublin Coffman (66). Reynoldsburg scored 109 points to win the regional in 2008, 113 in 2009 and 95 last season. The Raiders scored 65 points en route to winning in 2006. “We’re tired of coming in second,” senior Kacia Grant said. “We all get excited for the team and cheered each other on. We’ve obviously been doing something right.” The Raiders will try to capture their third consecutive state team championship Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4, at Ohio State with possibly as few as six athletes. At regional, Destinee Gause won titles in the 100 meters (12.01 seconds) and 200

Reynoldsburg’s Peyton Radebaugh competes in the 3,200-meter relay May 25. The Raiders finished ninth in 8:09.03.
(24.21), Donyelle Brown was first in both the shot put (43 feet, 8 inches) and discus (126-11) and Faith Washington won the 300 hurdles (42.88) and was third in the 100 hurdles (14.85). Also advancing after winning regional titles were the 400 relay (47.54), the 800 relay
(1:41.07) and the 1,600 relay (3:54.05). According to coach Denny Hammond, the Raiders’ toughest competition in the team standings at state could come from Cincinnati Withrow or Middleburg Heights Midpark. Withrow was second in the Dayton regional with 83.5 points behind Mason (86) and Midpark scored 83 to win the Amherst regional. Winning the Youngstown regional was Shaker Heights (51). The running preliminaries will be held at 4:45 p.m. Friday, June 3. On Saturday, June 4, the field events will begin at noon and the running finals will start at 4:30 p.m. “Everybody who we thought would get out got out and some of them ran their best times all year,” Hammond said. “Our (1,600 relay) ran better than they have all year and Faith set a school record in the 300 hurdles. She ran real well.” Last season at state, the 400 relay and 1,600 relay both were first, the 800 relay was second, Destinee Gause won the 200, Washington was second in the 300 hurdles and fourth in the 100 hurdles and Brown took fourth in the shot put. The Raiders scored 56 points to easily finish ahead of runner-up Rocky River Magnificat (35) as well as Midpark (31) and Medina (31), who tied for third. “It’s very exciting,” Brown said. “I’m excited to do better at state than I did last year.

Hartley Roundup
Great Scott, girls team eye state track titles By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Chelsea Scott was competing in the state track and field meet for Columbus School for Girls in 2009 when the Hartley High School girls team earned a Division II co-championship with Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy with 55 points. Now a senior and in her second sea-
son as a member of the Hawks, she’d love nothing more than to be a part of a title-winning team for the first time this weekend. “As a team on the girls side, it’s definitely been talked about,” Scott said. “Their sophomore year they won, so it’s more like a tradition. If each person gets it done individually, we’ll hopefully get it.” Scott has a separate motivation for
success as well when she and her team compete in the Division II state meet Friday and Saturday, June 3-4, at Ohio State. Last season at state, Scott had the sixth-best time during the preliminaries of the 100-meter hurdles but falsestarted during the final to keep her from landing a spot on the podium. Scott has emerged as a state title contender in two events after winning the
regional title May 28 in Dayton Welcome Stadium in the 100 hurdles (14.3 seconds) and the 300 hurdles (43.36). She also ran at regional on the firstplace 800 relay with Najah Greer, Maya Pedersen and Aisha Cavin (1:41.58) and on the first-place 1,600 relay with Mallory McCormick, Cavin and Greer (3:54.53). Their performances were among the biggest reasons the girls team finished
first (82) of 49 teams that scored. Scott’s times in both hurdle events set Dayton regional records and were her season-best times. Cavin won the 400 (56.19) and was second in the 100 (12.33), Destany Martin was fourth in the 100 hurdles (15.67) and Pedersen took third in the 400 (57.24). The 400 relay was second (49.72).

in a semifinal last year. Team Ohio Green upset the Blast F.C. 1-0 in a State Cup final on May 15, as Sam Darling scored and A.J. Tresoline earned the shutout in goal. The Blast won a Regional Cup and finished fifth in the national tournament two years ago. The Blast F.C. U-12 boys team beat Team Ohio F.C. 3-2 in a State Cup final on May 22 to win its second State Cup title in three years. In its four State Cup games, the Blast outscored its opponents 13-2. Two area clubs captured their first State Cup titles, as the GNA F.C. Revolution U-10 squad defeated Warren County United 87 on May 22 and the Classics Eagles U-13 team beat Crew Juniors 1-0 on penalty kicks on May 22. The Ohio Premier Eagles 2 U11 boys team beat Ohio Premier Eagles 1 7-4 in overtime in a State
Cup final on May 22. The Ohio Premier Eagles club has won three boys State Cup championships in the past two years. “We had two really good boys teams at the U-11 age level and they played a great game in the final, which was a win-win situation for our club,” Ohio Premier Eagles director and coach Chris King said. •Two central Ohio girls teams won State Cup titles this season. The Ohio Premier Eagles U13 squad beat Hammer F.C. Premier 2-1 in overtime in a final on May 22 and the Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 squad defeated the Blast F.C. 1-0 in a final on May 15. “The tide of which area wins the most State Cups has gone back and forth on the girls side,” King said. “There’s a lot of parity these days, so the days of seeing one area of the state dominating for several years are over. We had one of our girls teams
reach the semifinals in every age group, but the margin for error is very small and you need to not only be good, but you also need to be a little lucky to win at this level.” The Ohio Premier Eagles U13 team won its second consecutive State Cup title on Kristin McFarland’s goal in overtime. The Ohio Premier Eagles U16 team won its fourth State Cup title as Lindsey Agnew scored the winning goal against the Blast off an assist by Kaitlin Miller. Last year, the Ohio Premier Eagles lost to the Blast 1-0 on penalty kicks in a State Cup final. “Our U-16 team is very good and after we lost to the Blast last year, our focus was on taking back what was ours,” King said. “Lindsey Agnew had a couple of good scoring opportunities and our back line was very good.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Commentary
Division I boys pole vault at state meet intriguing It almost seemed inconsequential that Gahanna High School’s Jake Blankenship won the boys pole vault during the Division I regional track and field meet. Sure, the junior equaled the meet record by clearing 16 feet, but some of the loudest applause was reserved for Pickerington Central’s Grant Hammond as he advanced to state by placing fourth but then winning a jump-off with Westerville Central’s Charlie Moushey. “That made my day,” Lions coach Ed Rarey said. That isn’t to say that Rarey wasn’t equally happy for Blankenship, whose feat enabled the Lions to avoid being left out of the state meet after capturing last year’s regional team championship. Blankenship will be Gahanna’s lone participant at Ohio State this weekend, after all. But Rarey’s joy for Hammond seemed
genuine. Ditto for Blankenship’s as he watched from beneath a shaded cover while Hammond topped his personalbest with a 15-3 during the jump-off, even if the official height KURTIS remains listed at 14ADAMS 6. “You want to see everyone progress and get that (personal record),” Blankenship said. “That’s what it’s all about, so you’re always happy when somebody gets theirs.” Standing beside the pit and looking up on a sunny, windy afternoon during the regional competition May 25 at Pickerington North, I can easily see the appeal of the event. Scaling that bar is not totally unlike reaching the summit of
Mount Everest. The pole vault is the mountain of prep sports, in a way. So whether it’s you or somebody else, it’s hard not to get caught up in the excitement of seeing an individual accomplish what he or she might have once thought impossible. “Pole vaulters are a very tight-knit group,” Rarey said. “They look out for each other and support each other in good times and bad. They’re like a family.” If so, then prepare for a true sibling rivalry when the pole vault is contested at state on Saturday, June 4. Appropriately enough, the competition is scheduled to begin at high noon. The leading contenders all hail from central Ohio. They include Joey Uhle of Olentangy Liberty and his twin brother, Chris, who finished second and third, respectively. Both seniors struggled somewhat with both clearing 15-6.
TRACK
Joey first set the regional record last year and currently is the all-divisions state record-holder after he went 17-0 in the district 2 meet May 17 at Hilliard Bradley. Chris cleared a then-record 169 to win last year’s state title. And then there’s Blankenship, who temporarily held the state record after he went 16-10 to win the OCC-Ohio Division title last month. He was a mere afterthought entering the season and that could make him the sentimental favorite at state, if nothing else. As much as most people seem to enjoy climbing the highest object around, they probably enjoy seeing an underdog prevail even more. “The state champ will come from this region,” Rarey said. “There’s nobody else even close.” The real question might be whether fans will witness another state record because the bar clearly has been raised

Diamond Gause (front), Faith Washington (center) and Kacia Grant take a moment to catch their breath after the preliminary in the 1,600-meter relay on May 25.
A keepsake guide for the true fan.
Things are coming together very well. (In the shot put, I threw) a (personal-best) by five inches and I’m just now peaking. I stopped weight-lifting earlier this year than I did last year. At the beginning of the year, I was kind of shaky in the discus, but at the end I changed some of my technique and it came together. “We’re hoping to win (the team title). We all want it as a team. We’re just all good personalities and our goal is to win state again.” •Advancing to state for the boys team were Tsehaye Hiluf and LaVonne Gauthney. Gauthney finished second in the shot put (53-1) and Hiluf took fourth in the 3,200 (9:22.41). Also placing were Hiruy Abraha in the 3,200 (sixth, 9:30.13) and Dominik Seitzer in the 1,600 (seventh, 4:25.77) and 800 (eighth, 1:57.43).
Below are the state qualifiers for the Reynoldsburg track & field teams with regional event, place and time/distance/height: BOYS — LaVonne Gauthney: shot put (second, 53-1); Tsehaye Hiluf: 3,200 (fourth, 9:22.41) GIRLS — Donyelle Brown: discus (first, 126-11), shot put (first, 438); Destinee Gause: 100 (first, 12.01), 200 (first, 24.21); Faith Washington: 100 hurdles (third, 14.85), 300 hurdles (first, 42.88); 400 relay: Destinee Gause, Diamond Gause, Kacia Grant and Yamonie
The Raiders finished 18th (19) of the 39 teams that scored, behind co-champions Thomas Worthington and Westerville North (37). Gauthney, a junior who will be making his first state appearance, battled sickness early last week and missed a day of practice. “It feels good, but I felt like I could have done better,” said Gauthney, who threw a

personal-best 56-9 to win the district 2 title May 21 at Bradley. “It feels good to be state bound. “I really don’t set goals; I just throw. When I set goals and don’t reach them, I get mad.

by the likes of the Uhle brothers. It was only four years ago that their older sibling, Mike, won a second consecutive state championship by clearing 15-4. In 2004, Cincinnati LaSalle’s Mike Chia topped the state field at 14-9, a relatively modest height by today’s standards that would have placed him seventh in last year’s state meet. It’s been a rough spring locally for high school sports, so I for one am hoping to see the state record fall once again. That might help us all forget the lousy weather, for starters, not to mention the details of Harvest Prep’s troubles with the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

The Division II state running preliminaries begin at 1:30 p.m. Friday, June 3, and the running finals are 1 p.m. the next day. “Looking at how we performed (at regional), we’ll have to take a look at the results of the other regional, but we’re looking to score points in all of the open events and let the relays take care of themselves,” coach Richard Jones said. The boys also will be represented at state after tying Eastmoor Academy for third (37) behind Dayton Dunbar (78) and Versailles (61) as 43 teams scored. The 1,600 relay of Anthony Allwein, Noah Key, Matt Simpson and Isaiah Walls left with a regional title (3:20.19), the 400 relay was second (43.27) and the 800 relay took fourth (1:30.76). Advancing individually were Allwein in the 400 (third, 49.81) and Key in the 400 (second, 49.68). “Pretty much everyone made it through,” Jones said. “I’d expect us to pull out all of the stops and see how it goes at the end.” •The girls lacrosse team had a breakthrough season under a new coaching staff led by Molly Gilbert. After going 3-9 a year ago, the Hawks finished 14-3 overall and

quent narrow vote, too, rejecting changes to the way teams are assigned to postseason tournaments. And just last week, Marysville became the latest school district to put athletics on the chopping block if a levy isn’t passed. Much of the news hasn’t been good during the final season of the 2010-11 school year, so perhaps seeing an achievement of that proportion would send us all into the summer with a smile on our faces. In might remind us what prep sports are all about, to borrow a phrase from Blankenship. He, too, is hoping to see another state record set. And his attitude surely will be no different even if he’s not the one standing atop the podium. “Chris and Joey are both seniors, so a part of me wants them to have it,” Blankenship said. “We’re all good friends, though, so I’m sure they probably feel the same way. If I had a chance to win it and break the record doing it, they’d be right there cheering me on.”

Hartley’s Megan Feeney (left) tries to get past Laynie Thomas of CSG during their tournament game May 24. The host Unicorns won 19-9.
10-9 on March 31. In the rematch with CSG, Hartley fell behind 9-3 by halftime before rallying to within 9-6 with 20:06 remaining. CSG then reeled off five consecutive goals. It was the final prep game for a senior class that featured Molly Albert,Allie Groner, Emily Strapp and Emily Sweeney. Abby Evans, Megan Feeney,
Erin Froelich, Mae Livingston and Mary Prunte were among an 11member junior class that has Gilbert optimistic about next season. “(CSG is) more used to tournament time and they knew how to step up,” Gilbert said. “We’re just reminding them that they need to believe in themselves. It’s hard to play 25 minutes per-
fectly, especially when you’re behind. This was the best firstyear experience any coach could have asked for. We’ll try to do a summer league and continue to get them out there so they can learn. This is really a brand new kadams@thisweeknews.com program.”

I saw the newspaper ad for the event and brought in an old German sword I had brought back from World War II and some old coins, and here is my check. What a great thing for our community.
