State budget has big impact locally Estate tax elimination, LGF cuts will affect UA operations, improvements By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington officials are considering how to deal with the loss of several million dollars in state funding that will result from changes in the state’s biennium budget. In addition to other changes, Ohio’s two-year budget, recently signed by the governor, calls for the elimination of the estate tax starting in January 2013, along with diminishing of Local Government Fund support. “Because we are an older, wealthier

community, we consistently receive more than $2 million a year in estate taxes,” finance director Cathe Armstrong said. “Of all the things that are happening, or have happened through the state budget, this is going to affect us the most.” Armstrong said that while estate tax revenue can be inconsistent at best for many communities, it has been a steady and reliable source of income in Upper Arlington. “In the last five years we’ve averaged $3.6 million, and in fact we’ve received over $2 million a year for the last 20 years,” she said.

Loss of local government funding will also be felt by the city in the next several years, Armstrong said. Currently the city receives about $2 million annually in Local Government Fund revenue. “The state operates on a fiscal year while we run on a calendar year, so that means with the Local Government Fund, in August we’re going to see our first reduction in that,” she said. “It’s a 25 percent reduction this year, which will affect us for August through December, and then we will have a half year of 25 percent (reduction) in 2012, with a 50 percent reduction in the last half of the

year. So as we go into 2012, it could be about a $750,000 reduction to us in our calendar year.” This loss in funding could affect how Upper Arlington funds many of its city improvements, Armstrong said. “At least for the past 15 years, the city has put the first $2.1 million (from estate tax revenues) in operating expenses, with anything over that going into our capital improvement programs, so we’re getting hit on both sides,” Armstrong said. “Our Local Government Fund revenues all go to operating expenses. “Because we are an older suburb, we’ve

Woodcarvers at the Upper Arlington Senior Center are using their craft to help wounded soldiers get around a little more easily — and in a stylish and patriotic fashion. The men, many of them veterans of past wars, had been meeting weekly to hone their woodcrafting skills when an article in Woodcarving Illustrated caught their eye, said Harry Hall. The article told the story of woodcarver Jack Nitz of Tulsa, Okla., who decided to begin carving canes with handles shaped in the image of a bald eagle and donate them to injured soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. “We just thought this was a really worthwhile cause,” Hall said. “We have a group of good, competent carvers, and we’re starting out trying to get at least 25 of our own made.” The men are carving the cane heads mostly of basswood, Hall said, a soft, easily worked timber with very little grain. Once the carvers have created an eagle down to the smallest detail, the cane heads are given a high finish using steel wool and polyurethane before being set on a shaft. “We want the canes to look really impressive,” Hall said, “and like I say, the gentleman who started this deserves all the credit. He had the foresight to get groups all over the country to pick up the slack.” Nitz came up with the idea in 2004, after watching a television program about wounded veterans, according to the project’s website, www.eaglecane.com. “I thought that we could carve symbolic ‘presentation’canes — not as an everyday use object, but as an artistic representation of our support and respect,” Nitz wrote for the site.

Local businesses will get preference on city contracts By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington will soon be giving preference to local businesses in some cases when the city bids out contract work. On July 11, city council unanimously approved an ordinance that gives the edge to businesses located within the city limits when bids come in for the purpose of procuring goods and services. Durinng council’s regular conference session last week, city staff and council hammered out some of details dealing when such a preference could be given. “One of my concerns was, how do you define who the local preference would go to?” asked fi-

nance director Cathe Armstrong. “And what council decided upon, and I applaud them for, is that it must be an actual business in the city of Upper Arlington. “What we find a lot of times is that there are people who work for different companies that live here, and they feel they should have some preference because their home is here,” she said. “But that doesn’t make good economic sense if the city and the residents aren’t really benefiting from that.” The ordinance defines a local business as having its principal place of business within the corporate limits and having paid income or net profit taxes to the city in each of the last two years. Local businesses also have an opportunity to

match the lowest bidder during the contracting process. When bids are opened for a project, if the second-lowest bidder is within 2 percent of the lowest bidder, and is a local company, the former would have a chance to match that lowest bid, according to the ordinance. “That, to me, is fair, because if you don’t do that (and award the bid to a local business) you’re asking the taxpayers to pay more for the service than they need to, because there’s someone out there who will provide it at a lesser price,” Armstrong said. “If the bids are equal, the preference would go to the business within the city, but otherwise, we’d move in a different direction.” The city finance and law departments have been

working on this issue since last fall, examining other municipalities that offer a local preference to their businesses. Council members said during their conference session that while the decision would be a good gesture to Upper Arlington businesses, the situation may not come up regularly. “When you look at the makeup of our city, we just don’t have, say, someone who owns a fencing company sitting in the middle of Arlington Avenue,” council member Mary Ann Krauss said. The complete language of the legislation can be viewed on the city’s website, www.uaoh.net. lrice@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

City closes on 5-acre lot in Kingsdale Plans call for plot to be used for office development By LIN RICE

basically real estate land (for retail) is at $1 million an acre, and that’s basically what Continental bought the shopping center for as well. “However, if you look in the region, no one buys a million an acre for office, nothing close,” he said. “So what we’ve said is, at the time that Continental comes back, we’d be willing to entertain selling the land back likely at fair market value, but at $250,000 an acre, so we’ve subsidized the land cost. We realize that the risk in the office market is great, and the holding costs for a private development are great, and we wanted to land bank that area so that the city has some ability to wait.” The city anticipates that the office parcel, once fully developed, would net an additional $400,000 in annual income tax revenue. “The goal was, we know that

To pave the way for office development in the Kingsdale Center, the city of Upper Arlington closed earlier this month on the purchase of a contiguous plot of land in the development. The city purchased the property at a cost of $4.8 million, which was spelled out years earlier in the development agreement signed between the city and Echo/Continental, according to Matthew Shad, deputy city manager for economic development. The approximately five-acre lot is located along Zollinger Road. Shad said that with the Giant Eagle Market District phase of the development completed, the city intends to hold the land over the next three years while Continental markets the property.

“This was all spelled out in the development agreement before anything was done,” Shad said. “For the next three years, from the date of purchase, Continental has the exclusive right to market the property for office buildings, totaling 104,000 square feet, which basically comes into two buildings, four stories tall, at 40,000 and 60,000 square feet.” The purchase is an effort to promote office development in the area, which brings a stronger tax base for the city. When that threeyear window is up, Continental has the ability to come back to the city and propose construction, Shad said. “We bought the land at what was considered fair market value for retail land, which is very expensive in this community,” he said. “If you look at some of the things that have occurred in town,

In anticipation of the revenue losses, the city’s finance department is currently mapping out several scenarios for city council to consider. Those scenarios could include asking voters to approve increasing income or property taxes in the next few years. Council is expected to discuss the city’s options during budget review sessions this fall. “Nobody wants to use (raising taxes) as a first option,”Armstrong said. “However, in 2013 when that estate tax goes away, we could be looking at over a 10-percent reduction, and I don’t anticipate that Local Government Funding will be restored. Then the decisions to be made will deal with either reduced services or replaced revenues.” With Upper Arlington’s policy of keeping 20 percent of annual general fund appropriations in a “rainy day fund” (the city’s annual budget is about $29 million), the city won’t be up against the wall to make those decisions,Armstrong said. “We’re lucky we’ve had this balanced budget approach, so it’s not like on Jan. 1 we would have to lay people off,” she said. “We have the ability to make adjustments, to take some time and make good decisions on how we’re going to operate in the future.”

“After making a sample cane and showing it to several of the Eastern Oklahoma Woodcarvers Association members, the project was presented to the club in April 2004 by member Stan Townsend and again by myself in May 2004, when it was approved as a club project.” So that the canes remain consistent, Nitz passed out patterns for other woodcarvers to use. They can be downloaded from the website. Since the project began, more than 1,000 canes have been presented to wounded veterans across the country. Group member Graham Webb III said that while carving was always something he’d done as a kid, he only picked up a knife again in the past few years after seeing a demonstration at the Ohio State Fair. “I’m starting to get into relief carving and lettering,” Webb said. Since retiring from the army, Webb now is one of the Patriot Guard Riders, a group of motorcycle riders who shield the mourning families of fallen soldiers from funeral protesters. “A project I hope to work on once we’re done with the canes is that for every KIA service we attend, we’d like to be able to carve a plaque for that soldier,” he said. Working with the senior center’s woodcarving group has given the men a chance not only to help out wounded soldiers, but to stay in touch with one another. “We get together every week, and usually a lot of us stay for lunch,” said Louie Ennen, who served

in the Navy from 1943-46. Like the wounded veterans the men are aiding, Hall also shows outward signs of his military service-hearing aids in both ears. As a Primary Instructor (PI) in the Army for the 508th Airborne Regimental Combat Team (1951-54), his eardrums were constantly assaulted by instructing others in the use of the 30-caliber machine gun, and once, by an atomic bomb. “Once we were taken out to Nevada, and they put me in a trench and shot off an atomic bomb for training purposes,” Hall recalled. “At first, the primary goal was, a company of Airborne was going to jump out of planes and assault that area, but the Secretary of State, God bless him, at the last minute put a stop to it. Instead, they took us out and put us in big trenches about six feet deep.” Hall said the officers told the soldiers to get on their hands and knees, screw their eyes shut, and hang on. “It was fantastic. I could see the bottom of the trench right through my eyelids, it was that bright,” he said. “They got us up and we assaulted the actual ground zero up to a certain distance, and you could see some of the effects of the bomb, where sheep had been tethered up there, and houses and cars totally burned out. We had guys ahead of us with Geiger counters, and when we got to a certain point they diverted us onto buses.” Designs for volunteers interested in carving canes for the project, along with request forms for veterans interested in receiving a cane, can be found on the project’s website, www.eaglecane.com.

Upper Arlington doesn’t have a lot of space to do larger-scale office projects, and in that case that’s why we felt land banking was the right thing to do here,” Shad said. With the Market District online, revenues are expected to begin coming in next year through the tax increment financing (TIF) district created for the development, which can be used to pay the debt service on the purchased property. “At the end of that three-year window, the city have several choices: It can renew with Continental, stay true to the office project but change to a different entity, or could sell part or all of the property for retail,” Shad said. “If it were to sell for retail,” he said, “the agreement says it would be valued at fair market value for retail, at no less than $2.3 million.” lrice@thisweeknews.com

Silver Sneakers program now more accessible By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Older adults now have easier access to the Silver Sneakers program, which could translate to increased usage of the Upper Arlington Senior Center, according to recreation supervisor Jane Sindel. Owned by health and well-being improvement company Healthways, Silver Sneakers is a program that encourages physical activity and offers social events for seniors. “Silver Sneakers is a program that gives people fun exercise options that they can do with their friends, and ours isn’t the only site for it,” Sindel said. “Those who qualify are 65 or older, and on Medicare. Users can come in and use our facilities, play table tennis or pump iron, and with the Silver Sneakers plan, it’s either free or discounted.” Sindel said that while seniors previously needed to come to a location like the senior center and go through the application process for Silver Sneakers, Healthways this month began mailing every senior who qualifies the proper paperwork to be a part of the program. “Healthways is now sending everyone a new card for Silver Sneakers, so rather than putting the burden on them, they’ll get contacted if they’re qualified, and can take it to the three participating locations closest to their home address,” Sindel said. “People who may have had some trepidation about coming in, not

knowing if they’re qualified, now that takes care of the problem.” Sindel said that about 500 seniors are currently enrolled in the Silver Sneakers program at the center. With the change in how the Silver Sneakers is administered, those numbers may swell, she said. “I think it’ll make it more of a friendly program for our seniors,” Sindel said. “It will increase the utilization of our programs not just here, but across the nation, really. This just makes it simpler.” Sindel said the center is already equipped for an increase in usage. In fact, the recreation supervisor said she’s excited about the prospect of new faces coming through the door. “This program is essentially a win-win,” Sindel said. “Healthways provides this service, which helps the insurance companies to have healthier people in their insurance programs. When insurance spends the money to give people access to staying physically and mentally active, then these are going to be healthier people. “Secondly, they come here to do that, which is great for us because it keeps us rolling along, and the person feels better from doing more while not spending as much out of their pocket.” More information on the Silver Sneakers program can be found online at www.silversneakers.com or by calling 1-888-423-4632. lrice@thisweeknews.com

of Genesis, guitarist Daryl Stuermer, has had a pretty good handle on the “Genesis Experience.” So when he decided to create an orchestral show of the music of Genesis featuring his own band, it was with the full blessing of Messrs. Rutherford, Banks and Collins. “I always wished they’d have done it,” Stuermer told The Beat of combining Genesis and a full orchestra. With Genesis in at least semi-retirement, Stuermer figured it was time to see what they thought of his idea. “Mike (Rutherford) immediately said, ‘I’d love to hear it,’” Stuermer said. “When I played some of it for the guys, they were all happy to hear what we’d done.” Stuermer, a Milwaukee native and resident, joined Genesis as the touring replacement for founding member Steve Hackett in 1978, coming off a threeyear stint playing guitar in jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty’s band.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen AN INSTRUMENT AS RUGGED AS YOU! The latest generation of hearing instrument users is not content to merely limit their use of their cutting-edge devices to social occasions and work environments. They also want to wear their hearing devices when walking, running, bicycling, playing tennis, hiking in the woods, and kayaking. After all, active people don’t want to limit their experiences by not being able to hear the sounds of rushing water and chirping birds. With this in mind, hearing instrument manufacturers are producing devices that utilize nanotech-based coatings that prevent moisture from seeping into water-sensitive circuitry. Along with a cover that protects the microphone from moisture and an easily replaceable wax protection system, these instruments also deliver the latest in automated functionality.

Girls Soccer

Thompson resigns as Wellington coach By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

After 10 years as head coach, Billy Thompson is stepping aside to serve as a consultant for the Wellington School girls soccer team. The move allows Thompson to focus on his role as director of coaching for the Crew Juniors youth program. Thompson said he and Wellington athletics director Elizabeth Clapacs “came to a mutual decision” that the team needed someone to handle day-to-day oper-

ations and administrative paperwork. “I really want to make sure the girls program is taken care of,” said Thompson, who guided the Jaguars to an 8-9-1 record last fall that included a 4-1 loss to Columbus Academy in a Division II district tournament quarterfinal. “Any time there’s change it can be unsettling, but in the long term I think it’s probably the right direction for the girls program. They need someone with more time than I can give right now.” Thompson compiled a 111-56-17 record at Wellington, including the pro-

gram’s only district title with a 3-2 overtime win over Columbus School for Girls in 2004. When he first started coaching at Wellington, Thompson also led the Worthington United. But in 2006, Major League Soccer mandated that every professional club put in place a youth development program, and Thompson’s involvement with club soccer grew. Thompson, who had four goals and 18 assists while playing for the Crew from 1996-99, currently oversees coaches from more than 100 youth club teams

in central Ohio and serves as head coach of the Crew Academy Under-16 team. “I make sure everyone is connected and is on the right track,” said Thompson, who on July 7 was named as the U.S. Soccer Development Academy’s Central Conference Coach of the Year. Clapacs, who also is still seeking a girls tennis coach, would like to fill both positions as soon as possible. “We’re looking for someone to take on the leadership and the administration of the girls (soccer) team,” Clapacs said. “We’d still like to keep Billy involved

with our soccer program.” With Wellington set to play in a newly created Division III this fall, Thompson believes the new coach will be joining the program at the right time. “Having that third division is a great opportunity for Wellington,” Thompson said. “The landscape of youth soccer is changing drastically across the country and Wellington needs someone with an open mind.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Commentary

Athletes describe ideal coach One of the most critical aspects in the development of a young person comes when an older individual provides a model on how to grow and be successful. While parents set the standard for influencing their daughters and sons, coaches can have an enorLARRY mous impact on how stuLARSON dent-athletes perceive themselves, how hard they want to work to get better and how they make adjustments when things go right or wrong. This week, the high school student-athletes writing in my summer series detail the qualities they like best in their coaches. Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “I like a coach whose top goals are not only the success of the team but also are geared towards the betterment of the athletes and people around him.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “I love having a coach who wants what is best for me and is willing to push me to be the best. It is also important that a coach is there for you on a bad day.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “To me, the key things for being a successful coach is knowledge of the sport and being patient with the athlete.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I like an intense coach who coaches me to improve every day and who knows the potential of his or her players and refuses to let them fall short.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “I like coaches who have a sense of humor and who are relaxed, but at the same time with that coach, you know you can’t slack off and always have to work hard.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “What is important to me is that a coach has experience in pole vaulting and has had multiple different inputs from other coaches and how to be successful in vaulting.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I like a coach that is laid back and easy going, but is always confident in their team and always wants to compete at the highest level of play.”

Jeff Backes, who was named Mr. Football the week of the 2000 Division I state final, rushed for 183 yards and had a game-saving interception in a 15-9 win over Solon.

Top Individual Performances: No. 5

Backes powered UA to state title By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In the days leading up to the 2000 Division I state championship game between the Upper Arlington High School football team and Solon, Golden Bears running back and safety Jeff Backes was named Ohio’s Mr. Football. More than 10 years later, Backes admits that he felt some additional pressure to play well because of the award. However, he didn’t let the pressure get the best of him as he rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 15-9 victory on Dec. 2, 2000, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. UA finished 15-0 and became the first central Ohio team to win the big-school state title since the inception of the playoffs in 1972. “No other Mr. Football (honorees) had won the state championship, so in a way there was some added pressure,” said Backes, a 2001 UA graduate who went on to play for Northwestern University. “But I was confident in See LARSON, page C4 my teammates and my own abil-

Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 6-10. Check back next week for No. 4 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com. NOS. 6-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touch-

downs on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 5135 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the freethrow line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays, the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24,

1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held.

ities.” Darrell Mayne, who was UA’s coach at the time, would have preferred the Mr. Football announcement to have been made after the championship game. “As a coach, you don’t want one of your (players) to have that honor bestowed on them before a big game like that,” said Mayne, who coached the Bears from 1998-2004. “That just adds to the adrenaline flow of the oppo-

nent. But what Jeff did that game is a testament to his toughness because he rose to that challenge. “It was a tremendous performance on his part. He had a great supporting cast, but nonetheless it was a great performance. Any time you rush for 180 yards in a Division I state championship game, I think that’s a superior performance.” Backes, who was 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds in his senior season

at UA, opened the scoring in the championship game with a 15yard touchdown run with 8 minutes, 23 seconds left in the first quarter. The two-point conversion gave UA an 8-0 lead. On the touchdown run, Backes took the handoff from quarterback Brian Ramey on a draw play and broke a tackle by Solon safety Steve Watson at the 5-yard line. Solon, which finished 14-1,

reached the end zone in the second quarter but failed to convert the two-point conversion and trailed 8-6 at halftime. The Comets got the ball to start the second half but went three-andout, and the ensuing punt gave UA the ball on its own 38. On the Bears’ first offensive play of the second half, Backes took the handoff from Ramey and ran to the right behind left tackle Simon Fraser and left guard Matt Lisi, both of whom pulled on the play. Backes got to the outside and outraced Solon linebacker Marc Leighton and Comets cornerbacks J.T. Staiger and Justin Bitner down the right side to the end zone for a 62-yard touchdown. The extra point by John Tarpy gave UA a 15-6 lead with 10:53 left in the third quarter. “It was a beautiful lead block by Simon Fraser, and Jeff popped it and went down the sideline,” Mayne said. “They weren’t going to catch him.” “Two linemen were pulling on the play,” Backes said. “We had an athletic line, which allowed us to do a lot of counter plays.

Bexley graduate making impact in Kenya By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When he arrived in February in Likoni, a village of 100,000 people outside of Mombasa, Kenya, Ben Levey only knew how to count to 10 and say “hello” in Swahili. But the 2006 Bexley High School graduate quickly found a way to communicate with the children in the village — by playing soccer. Ben Levey “The passion for soccer over there is incredible. I have never seen anything like it before,” said Levey, who played for the Lions’ 2003 and 2005 Division II state championship teams. “It was an easy way to connect with the kids. “Passing the ball back and forth was so natural. There’s some sort of connection there. You feel like you’re friends all of a sudden.” While serving as a volunteer with Hatua Likoni, a community-based, non-government organization trying to alleviate poverty and promote education among the community’s youth, Levey became chairman of the Likoni Community Football League. The initial plan was to create a 14-team league, but the LCFL quickly grew to 20, 28 and then 30 teams. “Once coaches over there saw that I was serious and they saw the goalposts going up, they wanted to get involved,” Levey said. “I wanted to keep it small because

Ben Levey, a 2006 graduate of Bexley, works with residents near Mombasa, Kenya. Levey is the chairman of the Likoni Community Football League, which grew from its original plan of 14 teams to 30. “It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league,” Levey said.

I wanted to make sure everything ran smoothly, but it grew to 600 kids before I knew it. It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league.” Levey will play host to a fundraiser called “Kick Back 4 Kids” at 6 p.m. Monday, July 18, at the Bexley-area Old Bag of Nails, 18 North Nelson Road. Money from a silent auction as well as a portion of the proceeds from food and drink sales will go toward buying goalposts, nets, balls, jerseys and additional equipment for the LCFL.

Bexley boys soccer coach Greg Kullman said he’s not surprised that Levey’s idea grew so quickly. “Even as a sophomore on the 2003 team, Ben was a natural leader,” said Kullman, who was an assistant coach on that team. “He’s a hard worker and he gets those people around him to work together. “Ben worked with our freshman coach last year and we were hoping to have him back this season, but he’s decided the work he’s doing in Kenya is much need-

ed. I couldn’t argue with him.” Levey got involved with Hatua Likoni as a way of giving back. Hatua means “step forward” in Swahili, according to the organization’s website, www.hatualikoni.org. “At the end of my senior year at the University of Wisconsin, I decided I wanted to do something completely different,” Levey said. “I wanted to go to a foreign country and volunteer to do something before I started grad school.” Levey, who graduated from Wisconsin in spring 2010 with a

Baseball

degree in biology, planned to begin pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy at the University of Pittsburgh in August, but he has pushed that back to next June. Levey, who returned from Kenya on May 15, said he plans to go back on Aug. 18 and will be there for at least three months, although he might extend that. Levey said was taken aback by the poverty he saw in Kenya, which is located on Africa’s eastern coast. On the soccer field, many children would tie togeth- pbatterson@thisweeknews.com er trash bags and wrap them into www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Ohio Elite earns title

Continued from page C1

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The ceremonial drenching — and the victory — must have been quite refreshing for Ohio Elite 14-and-under baseball coach David Lee. Ohio Elite beat the Ohio Force of Cincinnati 7-1 in the Buckeye Elite Showcase Tournament 14-and-under championship game on July 10 at Olentangy High School. As the team celebrated in the outfield on a hot afternoon, players poured a cooler of water over Lee. Ohio Elite improved to 41-9 this season. Pitcher Brad Wilson, who will attend Northridge, pitched a complete game. He allowed six hits, struck out eight and walked one. “We’re starting to come together as a team,” Wilson said. “We’ve been having trouble the first couple of weeks, but everybody is starting to hit at the same

a ball. “After growing up in Bexley, I realized I lived in a bubble. My friends who aren’t from here call Bexley ‘Pleasantville,’” Levey said. “Sometimes when I was coaching, I would have to step back and say, ‘Look at where you are. Look at the houses around you. Look at the environment you are in.’ “I was amazed by the amount of poverty over there, but because of the friendliness of the people, they didn’t seem that different from me.” Interest in the LCFL grew quickly in an area that offers little extracurricular activities for youth. However, creating fields and organizing the league took longer than Levey anticipated. “Everything in Kenya runs a lot slower than the USA. After the first week there, I realized I could only pick one thing to do each day,” Levey said. “Something that would take 15 to 30 minutes here takes three to six hours over there for some reason. “The happiest moment (of my time in Kenya) was probably the first day the league started. I was sitting there watching the U-12 teams play. This kid scored and he was mobbed in the corner by his teammates and they were imitating the things they’ve seen from (England’s) Wayne Rooney and all the other soccer stars. It kind of brought of tears to my eyes. That made all the hard work worth it.”

time, everybody is fielding, all of our pitching is coming together. We’re coming together very well.” Cameron Comer’s RBI single scored Kyle Galyk with the game’s first run in the fifth inning. “We just came out and hit the ball like we knew how to, played like we knew how to and we knew we’d win,” said Comer, who attends Olentangy Liberty. Ohio Elite added three runs in the sixth, highlighted by Tyrell Harris’ two-run single, and three runs in the seventh, with Comer delivering a two-run single. Second baseman Evan Lee,

the coach’s son, made a key defensive play when he caught a line drive and doubled off Force leadoff batter Jordan Ramey at third base in the fourth inning to keep the game scoreless. Ohio Elite advanced to the title game by beating the East Side Irish 18-5 in six innings, the Great Lakes Giants 10-2, the Academy Stars of Buffalo 3-2 and Team New Era of Buffalo 16-5 in five innings. Ohio Elite received a championship T-shirt, plaque and commemorative bat. “We’ve really peaked the last couple of weeks,” coach Lee said. “Brad pitched a complete

game. We knew coming in he was one of our top pitchers. ... The best thing with our staff is we’re eight, nine deep and they all throw.” •The Columbus Cobras 18and-under team reached a semifinal but lost to the Lookouts of Alliance 4-1 on July 10 at Dublin Jerome. The Cobras advanced to the semifinal round with a comefrom-behind 5-4 win over Steve’s Sports of Mayfield. Trailing 4-2 with two outs in the seventh inning, the Cobras’ Kendall Johnson hit a routine See BASEBALL, page C4

and the celebration began. “After Jeff scored (in the third quarter), from that point on, both sides couldn’t move the ball,” said Ramey, also a 2001 UA graduate. “Then, all of a sudden, (the Comets) go to the no-huddle offense and start moving the ball. You start to get nervous, but then out of nowhere (Backes) makes the interception. It was pandemonium on the sidelines.” During the postgame celebration, a UA fan held a sign that read, “Backes is God.” “He’s been telling us all year that the offensive line is his savior,” Lisi said after the game. “Tonight ... he was our savior.” Backes finished the 2000 season with a then-state record 3,353 yards rushing and 44 touchdowns. According to the OHSAA, he now ranks third in state history in rushing yards in a season, behind Bedford Chanel’s Tony Franklin (3,439) and Williamsburg’s Jason Bainum (3,386), both of whom surpassed his total in 2001. “He just continued to produce over and over again,” Ramey said of Backes. “It’s pretty amazing what he did (in the championship game).” Backes now is 28 years old and a third-year medical resident in orthopedic surgery at Mount Carmel West. He and his wife, Marissa, have two daughters — Leighton, 23 months, and Brooklyn, 7 months.

(The linemen) made their blocks, and it turned into a footrace (to the end zone).” Solon cut the deficit to 15-9 on a 36-yard field goal by Tim Echan with 4:18 left in the third quarter but wouldn’t cross into Bears territory again until its final possession, which started from its own 30 with 1:40 remaining in the game. The Comets needed just five plays to reach the UA 22. Then, after an incomplete pass on first down, Solon quarterback Jay Price tried to hit running back Scott Greenberg, who had lined up as a receiver, down the middle of the field in the end zone. However, Backes stepped in front of Greenberg and intercepted the pass at the goal line, returning the ball to the UA 11 with 46 seconds left. “They were in a four-receiver set and were trying to stretch the field and get one of the seams,” Mayne said. “The quarterback put a little bit of a loft on the ball and right away I thought, ‘Man, I think Jeff will pick this off.’ Of course, he did, and he had the presence of mind to not try to be a hero and try to return it (for a touchdown).” “Someone turned to me in the huddle and said, ‘Make a play, Jeff,’” Backes said, “and a couple plays later, I made a read on the ball and the rest is history.” UA’s offense came onto the field and, after two kneel-downs pdolan@thisweeknews.com by Ramey, the game was over www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Bernard Master Tennis Classic

Witsken, Schiller defeat OSU duo in open final By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Chuck Bolton of Westerville returns a shot July 9 during tournament play.

Track & Field

Warriors relay, Blankenship win national titles By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Former Westerville North High School track and field standouts Brian and Jeff Hannaford called winning the four-mile relay in the New Balance Outdoor Nationals a form of redemption. The Hannafords, who are fraternal twins, teamed with fellow 2011 North graduate Ryan Weldon and North junior Jacob Dumford to win the race in 17 minutes, 38.17 seconds. The meet was held June 18 at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, N.C. Win-

ners received a medal and a national championship ring. Brian Hannaford was returning to the track after a disappointing finish to his high school career. He was in position to win the 3,200 meters in the Division I state meet on June 4 at Ohio State when he lost his right shoe with about four laps remaining. A competitor stepped on Hannaford’s heel about 600 meters into the race. He anchored the winning relay at nationals. “I wanted to redeem myself and See TRACK, page C4

Eighteen years after he earned All-American honors for the University of Alabama men’s tennis team, Rick Witsken still is on top of his game. Witsken and Matt Schiller defeated 2011 Ohio State graduate Matt Allare and Buckeyes senior Steve Williams 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 in the men’s open final of the Bernard Master Tennis Classic on July 10. The two-day doubles tournament was held at the Wickertree Tennis Club in north Columbus. “I didn’t play for seven years. (Then two years ago) I played well in an individual tennis tournament,” said Witsken, who was one of four players who represented the United States in the Tony Trabert Cup in New Zealand last February. “All of a sudden it was like, ‘Wow, I think I can still do this.’ That kind of motivated me.” “Any time there’s a competitive tournament like this, you know you’re going to playing against

guys like these,” Schiller said. “It’s fun to see if I have any skills left. That’s the main reason I come.” Schiller, who lives in Carmel, Ind., and Witsken, who lives in Zionsville, Ind., also captured the men’s 35 title with a forfeit victory over Toledo’s James Kaser and Lima’s Jerome Moenter in the final. They received $800 apiece for winning the open title and an additional $200 each for winning the 35 championship. Witsken has played in the Bernard Master doubles tournament four times, winning the open division three times and finishing second the other time. Allare, who lives in Columbus, and Williams, of Manlius, N.Y., earned $400 each for reaching the open final while Moenter and Kaser each received $100 for finishing second in the 35 division. Allare and Williams struggled against the return game of Witsken and Schiller. “At Ohio State, we practice volleying quite a bit, but they knew how to volley as well,” said Al-

BEAT THE HEAT!

lare, who won two state doubles and two state singles titles for Kings Mills Kings High School from 2004-07. “They both have very good serves and return of serves. They knew what they were doing.” “They got the ball low at your toes consistently and put the pressure on,” Williams said. “The only thing you can do is serve better and not miss so many first serves. I missed too many first serves and that ended up being a big factor.” Because of low turnout, Wickertree canceled the women’s open in addition to the men’s 45 and men’s 55 divisions. That worked to the benefit of Witsken and Schiller. “We were glad that there weren’t that many teams because we are not young bucks anymore,” Witsken said. “It was 90 degrees and an on-court temperature of 120 degrees. That plays with your mind a little bit as well as your on-court abilities.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

TRACK •The Ohio Elite 17-and-under team finished 2-1-1 in the 18and-under division. Ohio Elite opened the tournament with a 5-1 win over the Ohio Orioles Black before losing to North Canton 3-2. “It’s unfortunate that we didn’t get it done against North Canton, but that’s the nature of tournament play,” coach Chris Huesman said. “You have to win them to move on. We didn’t get that done.” Ohio Elite rebounded to beat the JBR Rays of Green Bay (Wis.) 8-0. Hilliard Davidson’s Mike Scaglione allowed two hits, struck out five and walked one in a complete-game effort. Ohio Elite and the Columbus Cobras 17-and-under team were tied at 10 on July 9 at Granville when the game was suspended because of darkness. Ohio Elite opted not to return to Granville on July 10 to complete the game in the silver championship bracket. Other champions were the Stark County Terriers in the 18and-under division, the North Georgia Barons in the 16-andunder division and the North Coast Vipers in the 15-and-under division.

fly ball to left fielder Drew Teller, who dropped it, allowing the tying runs to score. Gahanna graduate Josh Bokor, who recently completed his freshman season at Ohio State, singled to score Johnson with the winning run. Teller’s two-run double helped Steve’s Sports take a 30 lead in the fourth. Grove City graduate T.J. DeVore’s pinch-hit triple in the sixth scored Johnson and closed the Cobras to 3-2. Russ Hogue earned the win in relief. He then pitched a complete game against the Lookouts. “We were flat all day, even the first game, and then we put it together at the end,” Cobras coach Harry Huskey said. “We got our emotional high and then we sit around for 45 minutes and we came out and didn’t play real well again. The other team took advantage of our three errors and we only had four hits, so we didn’t deserve to win that game.” The Cobras are 35-6 heading into the Pastime Best of the Midwest Tournament at Wright State and the University of Dayton fdirenna@thisweeknews.com on Thursday, July 14. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

prove to some people that I could do some good things,” he said. Jeff Hannaford, who ran the third leg of the race, missed his senior track season because of academic reasons. He also missed the cross country state meet last fall because of a disciplinary issue unrelated to the sport. “I wanted to redeem myself at the national meet,” Jeff said. “It was awesome,” Brian said of running with his brother. “We had some high goals for the (spring) season in the (3,200 relay), so finally getting to race again was huge.” The Hannafords will continue their cross country and track careers at Ohio State, which they chose over Dayton. Dumford ran the opening leg at nationals and was followed by Weldon. “It was a good chance to run against some pretty good competition,” Dumford said. Weldon hopes to walk on the track team at Ohio State. He chose the Buckeyes over a scholarship offer from Miami University. “We were really excited,” Weldon said. “We were just shooting to be All-Americans, so winning was a huge shock. The car ride back to Ohio was awesome.”

The top six finishers in each event were named All-Americans. North tied for 18th (10 points) behind the first-place Knightdale (N.C.) Track and Field Club (28). “The (relay) win was a fitting end to the high school careers of three of North’s most talented distance squad,” said track coach Johnny Jackson, who did not attend the meet. “We have had faster individual runners at North, but not as many at one time. They have been working toward this for the past two years, so it was nice to see that with a lot of skill and a little luck everything worked out as planned.” North distance coach Tom Brumlik attended the meet and coached the relay. Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship won the pole vault with an effort of 17 feet, 3/4 of an inch. Blankenship, who will be a seniorfall, won the event at state by matching the state record of 170 set by Olentangy Liberty’s Joey Uhle. Blankenship, who competed unattached at nationals, tied for 18th with 10 points. “I was very excited on winning because I did not expect to win at all,” Blankenship said. “There were so many other vaulters vaulting higher than me. I was glad to take the national title, especially

as a junior.” Uhle, who finished second (166) to Blankenship at state, also finished second (16-8 3/4) at nationals. Liberty graduate Chris Uhle, Joey’s twin brother, tied Cameron Meyer of Lake Charles, La., for sixth (16-3/4). Bryn Campbell, who will be a senior in the fall at Canal Winchester, finished sixth (195-2) in the boys hammer throw. New Albany graduate Taneisha Cordell finished second (2:09.9) in the 800 meters behind Kim-

berley Ficenec of Stafford, Va. (2:09.84). Cordell, who will compete at the University of Miami (Fla.), had won the event at state (2:07.35). Cordell, Mycah Mason, Mirra Galbreath and Lexi Simpson finished 17th (9:28.95) in the 3,200 relay. Mason graduated from New Albany in May, Galbreath will be a junior and Simpson will be a sophomore. Mason was 22nd (1:05.2) in the 400 hurdles. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

18th annual Lazy Daze festival set for July 23 By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The 18th annual Lazy Daze of Summer Festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, July 23, on West First Avenue near the Grandview Heights Public Library. “It’s amazing to think that this will be the 18th year,” said Ruthanne James, president of the Grandview Heights/Marble Cliff Arts Council, which presents the annual arts and crafts festival. More than 50 craft exhibitors from Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky have been selected by a jury to participate in this year’s Lazy Daze event. “The streets by the library are going to be full this year,” said Jeri Diehl Cusack, an arts council board member and Lazy Daze co-chair. The exhibitors will include several Grandview residents as well as last year’s Best of Show winner, Columbus artist Kate Mor-

gan, and People’s Choice Award winner Mozart, a Great Dane that paints with his paws. Honorable mention award winners April Brehob, who makes artwork using reclaimed materials, and Kaska Firor, a fine jewelry maker, will also be returning to the festival. “We try to have both new artists and returning favorites,” Cusack said. “We have a lot of exciting new artists this year.” Entertainment featuring performers from Grandview Parks and Recreation programs, Imaginating Dramatics and Habeeba’s Belly Dancers will be offered throughout the day. A concert by Lydia Brownfield will wrap up the day’s entertainment from 4 to 6 p.m. The event will also include food, a Friends of the Library book sale and community showcase area. The kids’ arts activities will be held from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., a bit

earlier in the day than usual, Cusack said. The annual awards will be announced at the end of the day. The awards include the Best of Show, honorable mention and the People’s Choice Award, which is determined by a vote of festivalgoers. Proceeds of the festival benefit the Arts Council as well as the city of Grandview Heights and the library. “Lazy Daze serves as the arts council’s main fundraiser,” James said. “It allows us to present an annual scholarship, which from the time the council began has been a major goal for us.”’ The scholarship is endowed through a fund set up with the Columbus Foundation, she said. The scholarship is awarded each year to a student who will be pursuing a college degree in the visual, performing or practical arts, James said.
