Another S. State St. business is robbed BP station is third armed robbery in last two months

By JENNIFER NESBITT THISWEEKNEWS.COM

A clerk at the BP gas station at 796 S. State St. was robbed at gunpoint at 7:35 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 4.

According to Westerville police reports, a man entered the store, showed the clerk a black handgun and demanded money. The clerk complied, and the robber left the store.

The robber is described as a white man in his mid 20s, approximately 6 feet tall and 170 pounds. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black jacket and had large black sunglasses and a red bandanna covering his face.

Police were unable to find anyone fitting the description as they searched the area immediately following the robbery.

The BP robbery marks the third armed robbery of a South State Street business in the past two months.

Westerville police, with the help of Central Ohio Crime Stoppers, continue to search for

two people who robbed Chipotle, 641 S. State St., as employees prepared to close the restaurant at 10 p.m. Nov. 14.

In that case – designated as the Crime Stoppers Crime of the Week Jan. 5 – both robbers entered the restaurant at closing time. One watched employees at the front while the other forced a manager to the back office to open a safe and hand over a cash bag.

The second robber said he had a gun, but did not show one.

At the time, police said eyewitnesses gave varying descriptions of the suspects, but the one who stayed at the front of the restaurant had a feminine voice and may have been a woman.

Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for any information leading to the arrest or indictment of the Chipotle robbers.

Anyone with information about the crime can leave an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS (8477) or emailing through the website stopcrime.org. Crime Stoppers does not use Caller ID or record telephone conversations and a special coding system protects the identity of the caller. Crime Stoppers also takes calls from persons with information

Employee closing shop robbed Dec. 23

An employee of Deals, 581 S. State St., was robbed at gunpoint as he closed the business at 11:40 p.m. Dec. 23, Westerville police reported.

Police said the employee was locking the front door of the Westerville Shopping Center business when a car pulled up.

A man with his face covered exited the vehicle and brandished a gun, demanding money and threatening to shoot the employee.

The employee handed over the business cash deposit bag he was holding, and the robber returned to the vehicle, which was driven by another person, and sped away.

The robber was described as a black man, approximately 5-feet-10, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a black leather jacket, black pants and a red bandanna over his face.

The car was an older model gray or black Cadillac with heavily tinted windows, the victim told police. No description of the driver was obtained.

In other recent incident reports from the Westerville Division of Police: • A 39-year-old man reported that he was punched in the face by an unknown man at about 9:35 p.m. Dec. 24 as he walked along the bike path northeast of Schrock and

Cooper roads. The man told police he was approached by an unknown man who asked him for a cigarette.

After giving the man a cigarette, the man punched him in the face and fled. The blow caused the victim to fall backward and strike his head on a bench.

The victim sustained minor injuries to his face.

The assailant was described as a white man, about 6-feet tall, with a full beard. He was wearing a dark-colored jacket and a toboggan hat.

• A business in the 1200 block of South Sunbury Road was reported ransacked, but

nothing was taken, between 5:05 p.m. Dec. 17 and 8:40 a.m. Dec. 18.

According to reports, employees arrived to work Dec. 18 to find the alarm system had been disabled and that several offices had been torn apart.

Computers, checkbooks, cash and other valuables clearly had been moved within the offices, but nothing had been stolen, police said.

• Burglars forced their way into a business in the first block of Westerview Drive between 11:30 p.m. Dec. 21 and 11:50 a.m. Dec. 23. A generator and a tool bag were stolen.

day and Tuesday, spraying the roads with a salt solution to keep them free of ice.

“We’ve probably put down more salt than we have compared to the last two or three years,” said Westerville Public Service Director Frank Wiseman.

Wiseman’s data for the season through Dec. 31 backed this up. Even before this week’s subzero temperatures and minus-30 degree windchill, the snowy November and December already had the service department outpacing last year’s figures.

For the winter season through Dec. 31, the service department already had invested 812 man-hours, compared with 628 for the same period the year before, to plow 1,306 miles of roadway and apply salt brine to 6,710 miles of roadway.

Through Dec. 31, the city had applied 9,660 gallons of brine mix, more than doubling the 4,590 gallons applied during the same time last year.

Clearing roadways of snow and keeping them ice free hasn’t been this winter’s only challenge, Wiseman said; the extreme dips in temperature have taken their toll on the city’s roads.

“Another issue that seems to be materializing is potholes seem to be springing up a little quicker than usual,” Wise-

man said.

“Once the snow and ice are removed, you have the thawing and freezing causing the potholes.”

As soon as a pothole is noticed or reported, the service department repairs it with a temporary tar patch that will last until more permanent repairs can be done in the spring or summer, Wiseman said.

Another department that’s been working harder in the cold temperatures is the Division of Water.

The city’s waterlines fared well through the cold temperatures, said Water Division Manager Dick Lorenz, but the city has been responding to calls of frozen lines at private homes and businesses.

“They call, indicating that they don’t have any water, because somewhere internally they have a freezing,” Lorenz said.

The department isn’t responsible for the private lines, Lorenz said, but workers often will be sent out to verify that a frozen line is the problem, and personnel will walk customers through common solutions.

The high levels of salt on the road, especially when combined with the heavy rains experienced Sunday or the snow melt that came last week, can result in high levels of salt in the city’s source water, Alum Creek.

To avoid water-quality issues, and to help warm the frigid water pulled from the creek, the city had tapped into one of its underground wells to dilute the creek water.

“It’s not an issue as far as consumers are concerned, but it’s something we’re dealing with so it doesn’t become an issue,” Lorenz said.

Despite the extreme cold, the water has continued to flow through the city’s treatment plant and miles of pipelines without issue, Lorenz said.

“The system is designed for this climate, and since it is down in the ground, one or two days of being abnormal does-

n’t have much of an effect, other than the individual houses,” he said.

The cold and snow has caused maintenance personnel across Westerville to be out in force to avoid or cope with problems, according to representatives from the Parks and Recreation Department and Westerville City Schools.

Other than necessary outdoor work, however, the extremely cold temperatures had the city keeping its employees indoors, delaying work such as leaf collection and regular parks and Electric Division maintenance, city officials said. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com

Snow doesn’t deter devotees to Metro Park winter hikes

By PAMELA WILLIS THISWEEKNEWS.COM

Bundled in colorful hats, scarves, boots and gloves, hundreds of people showed up over the weekend to walk the snowy paths at Blacklick Woods Metro Park, launching the system’s 41st annual Winter Hike Series.

Sunshine sparkling on the snow Saturday, Jan. 4 kept the 10 a.m. start much warmer than the nose-numbing mornings later in the week, but even bitter winds seldom keep people away from that first winter hike, Metro Parks Director John O’Meara said. “It is not unusual for us to (have) up to 1,500 people show up,� he said. “It is a great local tradition and a good way to start off the new year and fight cabin

BlacklickWoods in Reynoldsburg, spanning 643 acres, opened in 1948 and is the oldest of the Metro Parks, with six miles of hiking, biking and jogging trails, including a boardwalk trail through a swamp forest.

The next winter hike is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, at Sharon Woods Metro Park in Westerville, 6911 Cleveland Ave. People may choose between two- and four-mile hikes.

Sharon Woods features 761 acres, including four miles of paved trails and the 14-acre Schrock Lake.

For people who don’t want to hike quite that early on a Saturday, another winter hike begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 12, at Prairie Oaks Darby Bend Lakes, at 2755Amity Road, in Hilliard.

Balancing act

Trial-and-error triathlon begins

January used to be for wiping the slate clean: packing up decor, sweeping up debris, and making grand resolutions to go to the gym.

This year, there’s no time for that. I’m too busy learning to use my new labor-saving devices: a 17-pound Ninja 3in-1 Cooking System, a 12piece plastic Egger cooking system, and (as seen on TV) the 10-piece WaxVac, described as a “gentle and effective” system for cleaning my ears.

All landed under the tree in spite of a recent post-garagesale mantra that I would only be acquiring things I could eat, wear or drink.

“The Ninja is related to eating,” explained its benefactor, my Significant Other, who had co-authored the mantra. He sweetened the pot by offering to make many of the speedy steamed, roasted, layered or slow-cooked meals for us in the sleek, fully automated countertop warrior. Oddly, at that moment, he also handed me the instruction book.

So did my younger son, when he gave me the WaxVac, which resembles a giant, battery-operated glue gun, and the Egger, which is supposed to relieve me of the aggravation of peeling hard-boiled eggs.

For someone who generally reads the instructions after using an appliance, receiving a trio of new gadgets at once has amounted to an all-absorbing, trial-and-error triathlon.

First, the most elaborate and instructionally complete Ninja.

Besides a 10-panel fold-out “let’s show you how” guide, it came with a 25-page “inspiration guide” (more commonly known as a recipe book) and an 11-page owner’s guide with a toll-free help-line number.

So far, of the three gadgets, the Ninja has worked hardest to save me from myself.

Named after feudal Japanese mercenaries who excelled at espionage, sabotage and occasional assassinations, it used bold print to keep me from throwing water into the motor instead of the cooking pot. It automatically switched itself into “Warm” mode when the cooking was done as opposed to counting on me to power it down. When I wrestled a fourpound, mustard-covered pork roast into the pot without reading a thing – and then could not get it to turn on – the

owner’s guide had big pictures showing the power buttons.

That said, some might say the inspiPAT ration guide is guilty of baitSNYDER and-switch.

How, for example, can I recreate the picture of a lovely browned chicken breast beside slender asparagus spears when the instructions say to slice the chicken thin and chop the asparagus into half-inch chunks? But maybe that is why it is called an inspiration guide.

It means, “Look at the pictures.

Don’t read.” Which suits me fine.

Anyway, the Ninja is way less confusing than the Egger, which is essentially a multipart plastic egg shell that must be sprayed with cooking spray and – oops – securely fastened around a raw egg and plunged into boiling water for various time periods depending on the size and desired consistency of the egg. True, the results did not have to be peeled, but that was because there were no results – the egg having leaked out and foamed itself up and over the sides of the pan. The Egger could have used a few more warnings.

To the contrary, the WaxVac provided as many warnings as a pre-surgical release form. I actually read and adhered to them because, like most people, I am a little nervous about putting something that looks like a giant glue gun in my ear.

Besides being careful not to vacuum deeper than 1/8 inch into my ear canal (and wondering exactly where the canal started and how I could measure), I’ve been careful not to plunge the WaxVac into the bathtub. And I have absolutely not – another warning – used it while driving.

I’d like to say I’ve mastered all the gadgets this well, cleaned my slate and am forging Ninja-like into the gym.

At the moment, though, I’m not there. I’d be happy if my slate were as clean as my ears.

As it were

1864 dawned with hope of victory

Columbus like much of America, entered the year 1864 with hope and trepidation.

Bloody conflict had engulfed America for more than two and a half years. What had begun as a rebellion by what President Lincoln called “combinations too powerful to be suppressed” by normal means had turned into “a great civil war.”

It was a war that many people in the North thought would be over quite soon. Of the 30 million people in America, only nine million lived in the South.

The North had more men, more guns and more resources of all kinds than the South. Surely victory would come quickly.

But it did not come quickly.

The North suffered major defeats in most of its campaigns in the eastern United States. In the west, the armies of Ulysses S. Grant achieved some early victories but then became bogged down as they fought for control of the Mississippi River valley.

As the war dragged on, cities like Columbus grew rapidly. It is not hard to see why. Columbus was near the center of the state and was a major center of transportation and trade. The Ohio Canal and the National Road served the city. Several major railroad lines connected the city with most of the rest of the state and the country.

The city of 18,000 people had become an enlistment center as young men came to the Columbus to volunteer their service. Camp Chase to the west of the city became one of the largest mobilization and training camps in America with more than 20,000 Union troops in residence at any time.A Confederate prison camp was located there as well and soon contained several thousand pris-

oners. Many of them would die there.

The town of Columbus was changed as well. Camp ED Chase was the largest miliLENTZ tary base near Columbus. But it was not the only one. Camp Thomas and Camp Lew Wallace were located north of the city. Tod Barracks was located near downtown. And to the near northeast of the city, a new arsenal was under construction by 1863. Today we call it Fort Hayes.

To serve all of these soldiers as well as many more who would pass through the town temporarily, a large number of new stores, restaurants and hotels were opened. New or expanded shops to make clothing, weapons and other supplies were opened as well. Economically, Columbus was doing just fine as the war continued with no apparent end in sight.

Politically and socially, however, the city was beginning to show the strain of continued conflict. While many residents of Columbus – and Ohio as well – were loyal to the Union cause, a substantial and vocal minority were not. Much of southern Ohio had been settled by Southerners who still had friends and relatives in the South. Other Ohioans simply disliked President Lincoln and the war they felt he had started.

Columbus also was learning that large groups of soldiers were not easy to control.

On March 30, 1863, three troop trains were temporarily stopped on their way west. A local account reported that “some of the men ... quitted

the cars and undertook to pass uptown, but were turned back by the local provost guard which had been stationed there to prevent straggling. Enraged by this, and being, it is said, somewhat intoxicated, the men who were repelled assailed the guard, first with verbal abuse, but finally with sticks and stones.”

After three of the attackers were shot, the soldiers dispersed back to their trains and order was restored.

Perhaps it is not hard to see why the nerves of so many had become so frayed. After all of the hard-fought battles of the war, victory was still not in sight. North and South had collided in January 1863, near Murfreesboro, Tenn., but the battle had been indecisive.

Other battles over the spring of 1863 were inconclusive as well. Then, in early July 1863, General Robert E. Lee brought his Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania to show he could strike wherever he wished, whenever he wished

and win any battle he fought.

This time he did not win. At a place called Gettysburg, Lee’s army was defeated. As this was happening, Grant’s army took the city of Vicksburg and took control of the Mississippi River.

The tide had begun to turn.

Columbus celebrated by burning Confederate President Jefferson Davis in effigy at a bonfire at Town and Third streets.

There were more battles to come, and more losses to be endured. But as 1864 began, it seemed that perhaps there might be an end in sight. In November 1863, President Lincoln had said as much in dedicating a cemetery at Gettysburg.

He expressed the hope that “this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.”

‘Pathways’ program aims to be new career pipeline

By JENNIFER NESBITT THISWEEKNEWS.COM

Westerville students soon will have new pathways to careers, thanks to a state grant awarded to a consortium of central Ohio districts and Columbus State Community College to create a local Pathways to Prosperity program.

The Westerville City School District, along with 11 other districts, was awarded $14.4 million by the state’s Straight A Fund.

With the Pathways to Prosperity program, which was launched by the Harvard Grad-

“It’s for students who may not be headed to or desire a four-year college after high school,” Reeves said.

The hope, Reeves said, is that the program will be able to help those students attain viable work credentials that can be used after high-school grad-

December students of the month

The Rotary Club of Westerville, which sponsors a Student of the Month program, recognized recipients at a luncheon at the Medallion Country Club on Dec. 12. December students are (from left) Caroline Ogle, Westerville Central High School; Ian Lawson, St. Francis DeSales High School; Sarah Leonard, Westerville South High School; and Jacob Fowler, Westerville North High School. They are pictured with Rotary Club President A.J. Bittinger (far left) and Rotarian Janet Withers. The purpose of the program is to recognize outstanding students who have distinguished themselves by serving their school and to expose them to the Rotary Club and its ideal of “Service Above Self.”

uation.

“In addition to having a diploma, students should have a plan,” Reeves said. “This (program) helps students without a plan to develop one.”

The grant will be used as seed money to get the program started for the next school year for a planned 1,350 students in the 12 districts, Reeves said.

After that, the program will be sustained financially by the partner districts.

As districts launch into the new year, representatives from each district in the consortium, including Reeves, will meet regularly to make the program

about any felony.

On Dec. 23, a car pulled into the parking lot of Deals, 581 S. State St., as an employee locked the doors to close for the day at 11:40 p.m.

A man exited the passenger seat of the car, threatened the employee with a gun and stole

a reality for the next school year.

The focus, Reeves said, will be on identifying which job sectors have the greatest need for workers in central Ohio and building connections with companies and people in those fields to help connect students.

The district already has been working internally to identify students who might be interested in participating in the new program, Reeves said.

“We’re already looking at the impact on our students,” he said. “I don’t think we’ll have a problem finding interested students and families.”

Superintendent John Kellogg said the grant provides the

district with an exciting opportunity to offer more post-secondary experiences and pathways for students.

That has been a priority for the district, Kellogg said, as fewer and fewer students are finishing college degrees in four years, more adults are returning to school to find new career opportunities and many young adults are having difficulties finding jobs.

“Where do you fix that?

That’s where those pathways come in, that pipeline to a career,” Kellogg said. “We build things that help kids understand their aspirations.”

the night deposit bag the employee was carrying, before getting back into the car and fleeing.

That robber is described as a black man, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall. He wore a black hooded sweatshirt, black leather jacket and black pants, according to police reports.

The car was an older model

gray or silver Cadillac with heavily tinted windows. Police did not get a description of the driver.

Westerville police ask anyone with information on any of the robberies to leave a tip with Crime Stoppers or call the Division of Police at 614-8827444.

Denick Miller

K. Jane Denick, long time resident and active supporter of Westerville, died of leukemia on January 2, 2014, at the age of 64, born May 25, 1949. Her loving family was at her side husband, Ralph Denick of Westerville; son, Roger Denick of Chicago, IL.; son, Keith Denick and husband, Christopher Dean of Portland, OR; and daughter, Carolyn Denick of Westerville. In addition to her dedication to her family, Jane was deeply devoted to Westerville, Uptown and the arts, and followed these passions by being President of the Arts Council of Westerville, board member of the Westerville Visitors and Convention Bureau, member of the Westerville Concert Band (tuba section leader), and co-owner with her husband of Java Central Coffee House - a music and arts café in Uptown Westerville.

Jane was born in Greenville, S.C. to the late Robert and Katie Wingo, and grew up in Whitehall. She graduated from Miami University with a B.A. Music Ed. (tuba). Her business life combined a background in education, dentistry, insurance and corporate training. Positions included teacher, vocational instructor, director of vocational education, claims and production supervisor, and various roles in training. She was 10 years with United Healthcare, and her final 10 years were as Sr. Corporate Trainer in IT at American Electric Power. Jane was one of the most competent and capable people around, and could research, learn, improve and teach anything, including complex IT processes.

Yet she was consistently known as the nicest person most had ever met. Jane is also survived by her sister, Sarah White and husband, Ben, of Branford, CT; sister, Joyce Wingo of Columbus, OH; and sister, Beth of Macon, GA; plus numerous nieces and nephews. In remembrance of her life and interests, please join us for a memorial tribute and celebration on Friday, January 10 from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Westerville Community Center, 350 N. Cleveland Ave., Westerville, OH 43082. There will be live music, art, food, and memorabilia an opportunity to celebrate her life with friends and family.

There will also be an opportunity for attendees to address everyone with their thoughts and memories of Jane at 8 p.m.

Remembrances: Jane loved flowers, so flowers are welcome, but in lieu of flowers, a contribution to The Arts Council of Westerville (56 S State St., Westerville, OH 43081) or the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society would be appreciated. A memorial website for Jane and online messages of condolences may be shared with the family at www.newcomercolumbus.com.

Dale E. Miller, 94, of Cameron Park, California and formerly of Westerville, Ohio and North Highlands, California, died Monday, December 30, 2013. Born December 15, 1919 in Galion, he was the son of Roy Reed Miller and Mary Beatrice (Shumaker) Miller. He was preceded in death on August 25, 2008 by his wife Maxine C. (Ackerman) Miller whom he married on January 23, 1983 and was previously married to Irene (Woodruff) Miller on March 18, 1949 and she preceded him on June 27, 1982. He graduated from Galion High School and served with the U. S. Navy during World War II. He worked at the Galion Iron Works, for a short time, before he left Galion and started at Curtis Wright, an aerospace company in Columbus, Ohio. From there, he became an engineering consultant with North American Aircraft before his position as Vice President of Automation Industries in Century City, California. At Automation Industries, he oversaw five production facilities around the United States. At this company, he was able to be part of the NASA Apollo flight space program. Dale retired from Automation Industries in 1977 to devote his energy into the daily operation and management of the McClellan Mobile Home Park located in North Highlands, California, which he had purchased in 1969. Dale was also active in the management of three other properties, in addition to the Mobile Home Park, until March of 2010. Since his time was split between Ohio and California, he was very active in two churches. He was a member of the North Park Church of Christ in Westerville, Ohio. In California, he belonged to the Bayside Church in Citrus Heights. He was a member of the Reynoldsburg Lodge of the Masons in Ohio. He also served on the Board of Regents for Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Dale was a philanthropist, who was committed, throughout his life, to making frequent contributions in an effort to help others in need. He contributed to different churches, schools, veteran groups, and charities, as well as individuals. Many have benefited from the generosity of his heart, and the commitment to his faith.

Dale always had a project going! He loved to work, and it kept him vibrant and strong.

He also loved to travel, and took many driving trips, especially to see family and friends.

Listening to music was a special part of Dale’s life. He loved listening to the church choirs, especially if there was the sound of some good ole’ fashioned gospel music! Time spent browsing in antique shops, helped him to collect many types of antiques. However, his one real passion was for cars of all sizes, both new and old.

He had an impressive model car collection. He loved a good joke, a fun story, and a little laugh. He was the kind of guy who stayed in your thoughts, because of the goodness in his heart.

January 9, 2014

To those of us who knew him well, he had that special little smile and that fun twinkle in his eye. He touched our lives, and gave us many memories of our time spent together with him.

He is survived by daughter, Pamela Sue Miller of Shingle Springs, Calif.; and son and daughter-in-law, Terry Lee and Joyce Ann Miller of Akron; stepchildren, Thomas (Jeanette) Cray of Fredericktown, Constance Cray of Columbus, Ohio and Catherine (Daniel) Clark of Westerville; grandchildren, Bruce Woodruff, Rachel Miller, Jason Miller and Jarod Miller; step-grandchildren Lena and Amelia Clark; great-grandchildren, Josh, Andie and Allie Miller; step-great-grandchildren, Alexia and Dominic Steel; brother and sister-in-law, Richard A. and Dorothy Miller of Galion; and numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to his wives and parents, he was preceded by brothers Robert Leroy Miller, Kenneth Dean Miller and Albert Lee Miller, sister Elizabeth Mae Bower and step-son Richard Woodruff.

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen

ROCK TAKES ITS TOLL

If you’re a Baby Boomer who has attended your share of rock concerts, you may have the same problem as many of your rock heroes. Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, and Neil Young have all professed to have hearing loss.

Others in their age group may also have hearing damage, but may not realize (or be willing to admit to) the fact.

One symptom to be on the lookout for is difficulty hearing conversation partners’ words in a noisy restaurant.

This hearing problem is usually symptomatic of “presbycusis,” or age-related hearing loss, caused by the death of hair cells in the inner ear. These cells translate sound vibrations into brain signals and do not regenerate once damaged, primarily from exposure to noise.

The symptoms of presbycusis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis. ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS offers a full range of diagnostic and hearing-loss prevention services, hearing instruments and assistive devices. If you or a family member are not hearing as well as you could, please call us at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complimentary hearing & speech reception evaluation.

We beat competitor’s pricing by 25% - 70%, we have the top 10 leading hearing aid brands, and we put our customer’s first. We are located at 1000 Morrison Road Suite H, Gahanna.

Warriors unfazed by win streak

Wish list for prep sports revealed

Let’s be honest: How many of us make new year’s resolutions?

Making a resolution to not make resolutions seems just as popular.

Instead, here’s a wish list of a few things I’d like to see in high school athletics in 2014.

Sure, wish lists are sort of like resolutions, but by nature they can be DAVE a bit unrealPURPURA istic. While these items are meant to be based in realism, debate never hurts.

•A return to statewide prominence in area Division I football: Plain and simple, it’d be nice to have an area team win a Division I state championship in football. Hilliard Davidson did in 2006 and 2009.

Davidson was the first team to do so since Upper Arlington won the area’s first big-school title in 2000.

This past season, Hartley was the lone area team to reach a state final, losing to Coldwater 24-7 in the Division V title game. It would be nice to get more representation in any division, but rightly or wrongly, the big-school titles get the most attention and our schools have some work to do – not that the gap is ridiculously wide – to upend Cincinnati and Cleveland.

•Hold some football finals at Crew Stadium: Columbus will become the home of the state championship games – for two years, at least – next season. All seven are sched-

Hannah Ferguson of North drives past Central’s Arie Williams during the host Warriors’ 40-32 victory on Dec. 26. North will play at South on Friday, Jan. 10. CHRIS PARKER/THISWEEKSPORTS

After 25 consecutive OCCCardinal Division victories, the Westerville North High School girls basketball team isn’t about to get caught up in the numbers.

The Warriors know the streak could end at any time, especially when they face a rival like Westerville South on Friday, Jan. 10, at South.

North was 6-4 overall before playing Watterson on Jan. 8 and is 5-0 in the OCCCardinal.

South had won seven of its last nine games and was 7-5 overall and 4-2 in the OCCCardinal before playing Dublin Jerome on Jan. 8.

The Warriors saw the return of senior guard Kelsey Walker in a 47-38 league victory Jan. 3 over Hilliard Bradley. She missed the first nine games with a knee injury, but returned to score six of her seven points in the first quarter and grab

nine rebounds.

“You see the game differently when you sit on the bench and watch the game,” said Walker, who averaged 8.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.3 assists last season and was the team’s top 3-point shooter, making 42 of 112 (37.5 percent). “You see a different perspective and see where you should fit in.

“Even though we might have won our 25th consecutive league game, that doesn’t matter. We want to be the best team in the league, so we have to focus on one game at a time, that’s for sure.”

Anna Gibbs led North against Bradley with 12 points and three assists, and Symone Simmons had seven points and eight rebounds. Hannah Ferguson had seven points and three assists, and Tierra Streater and Ronni Royer had six points apiece.

Boys Basketball

Central coach enjoying spirited rivalries

By FRANK DiRENNA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

It didn’t take long for first-year Westerville Central High School boys basketball coach Donovon Barrett to realize the popularity and intensity of the Westerville rivalries.

His Warhawks completed a sweep of their first-round OCC-Cardinal Division games against Westerville opponents with a 72-61 win Jan. 3 at South.

PURPURA >> B4 “This is what’s great about being in

(the OCC) and specifically (the OCCCardinal) with the Westervilles,” Barrett said. “It was a great, spirited, hardfought game.

“Everybody just played their butts off on both ends and fortunately we came out on top.”

Central also defeated North 58-55 on Dec. 20 at home.

Since losing at Groveport 54-53 in their opener Nov. 30, the Warhawks had won seven consecutive games and were 5-0 in the OCC-Cardinal before playing Hilliard Darby on Jan. 8.

Against South, Central opened a double-digit lead in the first half before fending off a rally early in the second half.

South trailed 37-21 late in the second quarter, but D.J. Dingess’ 3-pointer at the buzzer cut the deficit to 39-28.

The Wildcats continued to rally in the third quarter, cutting the deficit to 45-43 on Dingess’ jumper with 2 minutes, 30 seconds left.

Central, however, went on a decisive 10-0 run to build a 55-43 lead early in the fourth quarter.

Kwamel Wade led the Warhawks with 18 points and nine rebounds. Eric James had 11 points and nine rebounds, and Will Maynus and Jalon Talley each scored 10 points.

“We kept our composure and when they were pressing us, we kept the ball strong,” James said.

Against North, Central took a 145 lead after one quarter before the Warriors went on an 18-3 run to take a 2317 lead at halftime.

the team is coming together,” coach Jim Kloepfer said.

“Bradley is a good team that can really cause matchup problems. We were able to hold off a good team.”

South lost to North 60-36 on Nov. 29, but coach Silas Williams said his Wildcats are a much different team now.

“We started with eight new players who needed to work on their chemistry and we had to get them working together,” Williams said. “I told the girls in the beginning of the season that we had the beginnings of a pretty good basketball team. ... They just needed to work and figure things out.”

On Jan. 4, South defeated Westerville Central 55-43 as Chanelle Moore scored 20 points and Jada Smoot and Camille McLellan both added 11.

Moore scored 16 points and Smoot added 12 in a 52-28 league win over Hilliard Darby on Dec. 20. The Wildcats then defeated Dublin Scioto 59-35 in a league game Dec. 23 as Moore scored 30, McLellan had 12 and Cheyenne Raker added 11.

On Dec. 27, Moore scored 28 points and Raker and Smoot both added 14 in a 60-52 league win over Canal Winchester.

South lost to New Albany 62-33 on Dec. 28 as Raker scored 11 points and Moore had 10.

“We’re moving the basketball well and playing as a team and things are coming into focus,” Williams said. “We are playing with one common goal and it makes coaching easy when the girls are all on the same page.”

North defeated Central 4032 on Dec. 20 as Ferguson and Simmons both scored 12 points and Gibbs added nine.

Gibbs scored 16 points with four 3-pointers to lead the Warriors past Dublin Coffman 6158 on Dec. 30. Simmons had 12 points, Ferguson had 11 and Streater scored 10.

“Because we lost four games early in the season, a lot of peo-

Central loses five consecutive games

Central was 4-6 overall and 3-3 in the OCC-Cardinal and had lost five games in a row before playing Darby on Jan. 8.

In their loss to South, Morghan Hyatt scored 18 points, Andrea Hodge had 10 and Imani Steele added nine.

Central lost a pair of games in the Cincinnati Summit Country Day Tournament, including to Carnegie (Pa.) Carlynton 44-40 in the opening round Dec. 27.

In the consolation game Dec. 28, Halle Kramer scored 15 points, all on 3-pointers, in a 48-37 loss to Summit Country Day. Hodge had eight points and Hyatt and Steele both scored six.

Hodge scored 10 points, Kramer had eight and Emma Stille added seven in Central’s loss to North.

On Dec. 16, the Warhawks lost to Hartley 43-34 as Hodge had 16 points.

Maggie Simon’s favorite thing about basketball isn’t scoring a key basket, making a free throw or outhustling other players for rebounds.

“It has to be taking a charge,” said Simon, a 5-foot6 guard for the DeSales High School girls basketball team.

“It just gets me excited. It really gets me into the game, and I think that carries over to my teammates, too.”

How many charges has Simon taken?

“I have no idea. Coach (Brian Cromwell) doesn’t keep track,” Simon said, chuckling.

“It’s too many to remember.”

Cromwell spares no adjectives describing Simon, a twoyear starter who was averaging 7.2 points through 10 games and never stops working to be in the right spot to get a key rebound or lend help on defense. DeSales was 8-2 overall before playing Logan Elm on Jan. 6 and is 3-1 in the CCL. “She’s the heart and soul of this team,” Cromwell said. “I know I’ve said that before, but she just gets after it very hard.

I think she struggles with containing herself sometimes and, because of that, she can get into foul trouble. But her effort makes such a difference for us, and our girls respect her because she works so hard.”

Simon is one of three seniors for DeSales, with Tessa Mulligan and Coley Tuel being the others. Simon saw some varsity time as a sophomore, although that mainly was limited to dressing for postseason games as DeSales won a Division II district championship but became a starter last season, when the Stallions tied Hartley and Watterson for the CCL title and lost to Hartley in a Division II district final.

Last spring, Simon was a captain on the girls lacrosse team.

“She has such a drive and she always gives us an energy boost,” guard Jori Arnold said.

“Maggie keeps us going. She’s always into the game, but she knows how to have fun off the court, too. She gets along with everybody.”

Maggie Simon of DeSales drives past Hartley’s Alexis Britford during their game Dec. 12. Simon, a senior guard, is “the heart and soul of this team,” according to Stallions coach Brian Cromwell. ERIC GEORGE/THISWEEKSPORTS

Simon contributed at key times during a 42-37 win over Watterson on Jan. 4, a game in which DeSales trailed 2612 halfway through the third quarter. She hit a 3-pointer early in the fourth to pull the Stallions to within 32-27 and made two foul shots with 1 minute, 22 seconds left to help extend a one-point lead.

Scoring averages reflect that DeSales is balanced offensively. The season point totals for the Stallions’ top six scorers through 10 games ranged from 83 to 61, led by Joenyia Herd-Middlebrooks with 83.

Arnold was next with 73 points, followed by Simon (72), Andrea Grassbaugh (66), Tuel (65) and Taylor Freeman (61).

“For us, it’s really all about who’s playing well in a specific game,” Cromwell said.

“That’s how it’s been all year.”

DeSales resumes CCL play Saturday, Jan. 11, at home against Columbus School for Girls. The Stallions’ only loss in the first half of league play came against Hartley, 52-50 on Dec. 12. The rematch is

scheduled for Jan. 23 at DeSales.

Cromwell hoped that loss – in which the Stallions squandered a 13-point, third-quarter lead – serves as a lesson in how to deal with adversity.

Later that week, DeSales rebounded to win the Cincinnati Hughes Holiday Classic, defeating Trotwood-Madison 57-48 on Dec. 27 and Hughes 48-32 in the final Dec. 28.

“We’re seeing more of what we’re made of,” Simon said.

“We remember that loss to Hartley. Now it’s the second half of the league season, and we’ll get another chance against them. We just have to play our hearts out the rest of the way.”

The DeSales girls team has moved up to Division I this season while the boys team remains in Division II. “This meet is so competitive, and it’s a great opportunity for the girls and Coleman to size up the competition they’ll see down the road,” Hoffman said. “We’ll get to see what events they should be swimming and how they feel in them. Hopefully, (this weekend) will be a confidence booster.”

According to Hoffman, Cargin, Maureen Cummins and Johnson have emerged as the Stallions’ top freestylers. Maureen Cummins and Johnson are freshmen and Cargin is a sophomore.

“Right now, we’re still experimenting with who will score points in what event, especially with our freshmen and sophomores,” Hoffman said. “Especially in the last couple meets, we’ve started to figure some things out. I’m excited to see what we’ll see in Canton.”

Below are the coming schedules for the DeSales boys basketball, girls basketball, bowling, gymnastics, hockey, swimming & diving and wrestling teams: BOYS BASKETBALL *Jan. 10 – Watterson at Otterbein University GIRLS BASKETBALL *Jan. 11 – Home vs. Columbus School for Girls. The Stallions defeated the Unicorns 73-20 on Dec. 5.

Jan. 13 – Home vs. Canal Winchester BOWLING *Jan. 10 – Centennial at Sequoia Pro Bowl *Jan. 14 – Beechcroft at Sequoia Pro

Dec. 27 and 28.

Carfagna began his season by winning the 106 title in DeSales’ season-opening Tony Pizzurro Memorial Tournament on Nov. 30.

“His learning curve is high,” coach Nick Preston said. “He’s picked up the small things that will help him turn the corner. He gets out when he’s on bottom. And when you’re a freshman, a lot of times it’s just difficult to be more savvy than an older guy you’re wrestling. But he has handled himself well. He’s like a sponge when it comes to learning.”

Coupled with an eighthplace by junior Brian Dytko at heavyweight, DeSales earned 36 points and finished 27th in

the Marion Harding Classic behind champion Lakewood St. Edward (162) as 33 teams scored.

According to Preston, Dytko, a first-year wrestler, currently weighs about 225 pounds and is expected to compete most of the remainder of the season at 220. He was the 220 champion in the Pizzurro tournament.

“A lot of our young guys have been thrown into the fire, so to speak,” Preston said.

“They’ve handled themselves really well, especially for not having had any junior varsity matches to prepare themselves before being in big matches and tournaments.” dpurpura@thisweeknews.com

The Warhawks outscored North 19-8 in the third for a 36-31 lead. North then went on a 7-0 run to take the lead before James’ 3-pointer gave his team the lead for good.

James had 23 points and 11 rebounds and Wade added 11 points and 12 rebounds to lead Central.

“We keep getting better,” Barrett said. “That’s what we talk about. We don’t talk about wins and losses a lot. We talk about just getting better and we know if we get better, good things are going to happen for us, and we have gotten better.

It’s evident.”

Central should receive another pair of tests when it visits Dublin Jerome on Friday, Jan. 10, and plays host to Gahanna on Saturday, Jan. 11.

Jerome was 5-2 overall and 4-0 in the OCC-Cardinal before playing South on Jan.

said. “It came down to the final possession. Both teams played really hard. We tip our cap to Hilliard Bradley. We’ve seen them a couple times this year.

We thought they were going to break through at some point in the season. They’ve played a lot of teams tough and (against us) they were able to put together four quarters.”

Trusley said the Warriors need to move on from the loss.

“We’ve put the loss behind us,” Trusley said. “We try to learn from it. We play nine games this month, so the kids are going to have plenty of opportunities to play games and win some basketball games. We’re looking forward to the month of January.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com

Browning’s ejection earned him an automatic two-game suspension, but Badin’s coach hastily scheduled two regular-season games against teams whose seasons had long since concluded so Browning could play in the state tournament.

Browning served that suspension, and Badin lost in its semifinal.

Was the coach’s strategy legal under OHSAA rules? Yes. Should that be allowed to happen?

No. When the regular season is over, the chance to play regular-season games should end, other than making up any remaining league games.

Teams should be awarded two scrimmages that can be played only as long as they remain alive in the postseason.

•One size doesn’t fit all: A recent story by The Columbus Dispatch highlighted the continuing saga of high school athletes being made to sit out half or more of their respective seasons after transferring for reasons ostensibly not limited to improving their athletic fortunes. Even when transfers were made for reasons not limited to but including bullying, financial hardship and taking care of family, the OHSAA transfer bylaw has been upheld time and again.

According to the OHSAA, exceptions are granted for students who enroll in the school for the deaf or blind; who are self-supporting; are dealing with a change in parental custody; or who have seen their school closed or athletics department dismantled.

Those are all understandable exceptions.

But let’s make this the year that when other cases of hardship are proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, extenuating circumstances end up mattering.

And that’s that. Remember, this is just a wish list.

Here’s hoping we ring in 2015 with some requests fulfilled.

uled to be played at Ohio Stadium, but a lingering worry is that the configuration of the 102,329-seat facility will swallow up any atmosphere, especially for the smaller divisions whose teams don’t draw as many fans as the larger schools.

A much better fit for the smaller-division games would be Crew Stadium, which holds 20,145 fans. That’s more than enough to give those contests a much more intimate feel, at the risk of depriving those athletes a chance to play in the Horseshoe. The stumbling block here might be artificial turf. Crew Stadium still has natural grass.

Possible solution: Keep the Division I and II games at Ohio Stadium, and rotate the other five between the two facilities, with four in the Horseshoe and three at Crew Stadium annually.

•Double the fun: Only a handful of area schools have seen the benefits of staging boysgirls doubleheaders in applicable sports, such as basketball and soccer. Pickerington Central and North annually schedule in this manner and Reynoldsburg has joined in when it plays them.

Back-to-back varsity games make for a great atmosphere, especially in rivalry situations, but it seems few other schools are taking advantage. Why divide fan bases for, say, games between Dublin, Hilliard and Westerville schools? Attendance for one of the games is going to suffer because the other is the main draw, and fans from one game usually care how the other is going, too.

The OCC long ago overcame its fear of sister schools competing, and that move has come up gold. No reason this one can’t, either.

•When it’s over, it’s over: The case of Nick Browning, a Hamilton Badin baseball player who was ejected for using profanity in a Division III regional final but was allowed to play in a state semifinal prompted a fair amount of discussion in late May and early June. dpurpura@thisweeknews.com

Blendon seventh-grade boys win two games The Blendon Middle School seventh-grade boys basketball team improved to 4-2 with two recent victories.

The Bulldogs were down 29-26 after three quarters, but pulled out a 38-37 win over Olentangy Liberty behind Jeremiah Keene’s 28 points and nine steals. Jordan McMillian had six points and Jeremiah Burton and Reece Worth added two each.

Against Mount Vernon, Blendon forced 17 turnovers and rolled to a 46-28 win. Keene scored 22 points, while Burton, Parker Degler and Simon Hunkler had six apiece, McMillian

had four and Kwaku Agyapong had two.

The eighth-grade boys defeated Liberty 3634 behind a balanced offensive attack. Tyler Bergsman had seven points, Chandler Cordell had six, Maxwell Barber and Josh Houston had five each, Chad Gordish had four, Troy Taylor had three and Connor Crawford, Mark Elliott and Marcellus McLellian all had two. Cordell also had 10 rebounds.

Blendon (3-3) fell to Mount Vernon 38-23.

Houston had 10 points, while Taylor and Malique Lyshe had three each and Bergsman, Elliott and McLellian added two apiece.

Jim Jones Revue’s roots firmly planted in ’50s rock Jim Jones is at home, and he’s getting a little buggy.

Following two straight months of Jim Jones Revue shows on his home side of the Atlantic, Jones finds himself in a holding pattern before crossing the pond for his band’s first U.S. tour dates in two years.

“I get like that at home, when there’s too much time off,” Jones told The Beat.

Jones said the same sentiment keeps the band from spending too much time in the studio as well.

“You’re trying to capture the chemistry and intensity of live and loud. It’s an elusive beast.

So you just aim for not sounding like (everyone else).”

Which, Jones confessed, can be tricky, given that the Revue is a straight-up rock ’n’roll band in the most traditional sense.

Jones said a passion and rever-

ence for that ’50s style of rock ’n’ roll inspired the formation of the Revue.

“You listen to early Little Richard records, and there’s all the DNA in there you need for hundreds of rock ’n’roll bands,” he explained.

“It’s all well and good to have reverence, but a lot of people can look at that as a sort of pantomime or pastiche. That really isn’t the reference for us. When you commit to doing music like this, it’s a vow. We owe it to ourselves and the music to blow that spiritual element into it.”

Jones said artists such as Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and the MC5 are more than influ-

ences. He said it’s more like a timeline or a trail of bread crumbs that lead back to something.

“Carrying a torch? Yeah, I guess so. We’re not going to change the world by doing rock ’n’ roll music. But I wouldn’t want to do this any other way.”

The upcoming U.S. tour is in support of the band’s The Savage Heart, which is now nearly two years old. The band has since released a few singles, so The Beat asked if the Revue had any surprises in store for these U.S. shows.

“We have lots of new stuff,” Jones said. “It’s going to be great. But that’s not a surprise.” jfischer@thisweeknews.com
