Upper Arlington Schools

Levy will be postponed one more year By KATE HETRICK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington school district administrators announced at a special meeting June 29 that they will put off asking voters to approve an operating levy in 2011, a decision that will stretch the November 2007 levy for a fifth year. “Since the early 1990s, we’ve been doing a levy every three years. We’re delaying a levy, but we’re still going to have to do a levy,” said district treasurer Andy Geistfeld. “We’ve done a lot of things to protect our fund balance and now we

can actually use that to protect the district and community for an additional year.” He said the district will finish fiscal year 2011 with revenue exceeding expenditures, due to a “group effort” to decrease spending. Cost-saving measures have included changing health care providers to better manage premiums; negotiating contracts with both teachers and classified employees; and maximizing purchasing power by participating in various consortia. UA is also one of only three districts in Ohio with an AAA bond rating from Standard & Poor’s, which can offer millions of dollars in savings over

the life of a bond, he said. “The district has really worked together with all the staff, all the schools, all the programs, with all the departments, to put us in the spot we are in today,” Geistfeld said. “This isn’t something that just happened overnight.” School board president Margie Pizzuti said she is confident that the district is making a financially prudent decision. “We deliberated over how much this would impact us in terms of a future millage amount,” she said. “While we don’t know what the millage amount will be next time we go on the ballot, we

believe it will be a reasonable, prudent amount.” Pizzuti said it feels very counterintuitive to stretch a three-year levy to a five-year levy during challenging economic times, but “it speaks to the uniqueness of our district and this culture of collaboration.” Geistfeld said he has forecast a $2.2-million reduction in state revenue in fiscal year 2012, which will begin to decrease the district’s fund balance. By 2015, he expects the district will face a $4.3-million deficit. See LEVY, page A3

Upper Arlington officials have settled on a “final candidate” to take over for retiring city manager Virginia Barney. Following a two-hour executive session of city council on June 29, council members announced that Theodore Staton has been singled out as the final candidate for the position. Staton is the current city manager of East Lansing, Mich., a position he has held since 1995. Staton also served as the assistant city manager of Dayton from 19891995, and before that, served as Dayton’s management and budget director. “There is a consensus of council for a lead candidate, and that would be Ted Staton,” council president Frank Ciotola said following the executive session. “We are going to have various council members follow up with details further along that avenue, and see if we can take that to fruition or not.” Forty-six candidates submitted their resumes for the city’s top administrative position since March, when the Upper Arlington city council voted to hire consultant Heather Renschler of Rocklin, Calif.-based Ralph Anderson and Associates to conduct the search. Included among the applicants were two internal candidates, assistant city manager Joe Valentino and Matthew Shad, deputy city manager for economic development. Ralph Anderson and Associates’ was retained at a cost of $19,000. Renschler advertised the position through the International City/County Managers Associ-

ation and other municipal organizations. Council members interviewed six of seven semi-finalists in executive session at a June 9 special meeting. At that time, Staton had not yet applied for the position. Council member Ed Seidel said Staton’s decades of experience caught council members’ attention. “Ted has 32 years worth of experience in the public arena, and worked initially for 16 years in Dayton,” Seidel said. “He started right out of college, and worked his way up from there, so he has a good fundamental knowledge of Ohio municipal law. “He’s spent the last 16 years in East Lansing, which is a community relatively like Upper Arlington, except a little bit larger. He’s very well experienced, and has a good background.” Council members said that since Staton submitted his resume late in the city manager search, they will now begin the due diligence of checking into his background, along with deciding on the details of the contract Upper Arlington will offer him pending that check.

Mathematician, not a soldier, served country in WWII By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Upper Arlington resident John Bergmann may have been “just a mathematician” during World War II, but his contributions were as great as any soldier’s on the front line. “I was in college in Pennsylvania studying to be a CPA, and just two weeks before I graduated, in May of 1941, six months before the Pearl Harbor attack, I was approached by the U.S. Army,” said Bergmann, who is 89. “They told me that they had an opportunity for me but couldn’t tell me what it was. It was secret, and

John Bergmann

they didn’t have time to wait. They needed an answer immediately. “I was hesitant about it,” Bergmann recalled. “I was about to graduate and wanted to go and make a living after all of that school, but ultimately,

I agreed to go.” The army wanted him to become a code breaker, according to Bergmann. They scouted him based on his skills with Morse code from his 10 years in the Boy

Scouts and the mathematical skills that he’d honed in school. “One week after graduation, I was given a second lieutenant rank and shipped off to Fort Meade, Fla., along with 24 other guys who had similar backgrounds as me,” Bergmann said. “We were told that Churchill said to Roosevelt that (the U.S.) will be in this war soon and better have some good intelligence. But we didn’t, at that point.”

The men were housed in an old stone farmhouse at the far end of the reservation at Fort Meade, Bergmann said, with only a cook, driver and housekeeper, along with a guard. “There was rarely ever a visitor,” Bergmann said. “I was told to tell people I was an accountant for Washington. My commanding officer told us that if (we) ever say anything of value, (we’d) be shot or sent to Leavenworth. I know he wasn’t kidding.” According to Bergmann, the 25 members of the unit, code-named “Ultra,” traveled around the globe training radio operators to pick up enemy transmissions,

which then would be decoded. After only six weeks in service, Bergmann was sent to Burma to attempt to steal the everchanging code scrolls from a Japanese outpost. “There were 12 U.S. Army Rangers, three (local) guides and me,” Bergmann said. “We were supposed to take over this station of six to 10 Japanese soldiers that was being used as a transfer point in the mountains, to move Japanese soldiers through to take over Rangoon. I was only in six weeks at this point, and I said, ‘I’m no soldier, I’m a mathematician.’” See BERGMANN, page A2

GRAND OPENING THURSDAY JULY 7, 2011 5:30pm-11pm Fantastic Fountains. Cool Music. Great Food.

BERGMANN Continued from page A1 The mission cost Bergmann his right eye, and two of the local guides lost their lives on that Burmese mountain when one of the guides tripped a land mine. Recovering from his injury, Bergmann went right back into service, cracking German and Japanese encoded messages stateside. Bergmann served from June 1941 to December 1945, when the unit was disbanded. After leaving active service, he joined Peabody Coal Co., which ultimately led to moving his family to Upper Arlington. After 40 years with Peabody, Bergmann retired to care for his wife, Lois, who recently passed away.

Grab your swimsuit and run through the fountains. Discover stilt walkers, balloon artists, face painters and more. Enjoy live music and fountainside dining. Then light up the night with a spectacular evening fountain show for the opening of downtown’s new riverfront!

In 2008, Bergmann was honored by the Upper Arlington Senior Center for his service to seniors. He volunteers as a Senior Center Goodwill Ambassador, visiting other seniors who are sick or homebound. Bergmann also remains very active with several veterans’ groups, including annual participation in the Upper Arlington Fourth of July parade. Bergmann survives his wife of 55 years, and has three daughters, five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. “As far as I know I’m the last of the 25 guys (in my unit) still alive,” Bergman said. “I’ve had an absolutely wonderful life, no regrets and I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“For us to be true, prudent, wise financial managers of funds and the various programs we offer here, we’re going to have to go back for a levy. That’s just the way school funding works,” Gestifeld said. “That will be in the near future, and most likely next year.” Superintendent Jeffrey Weaver said he hopes the district will have more information once the state finalizes its school funding formula. “This year, they’ve allocated money for the schools, but not necessarily through a formula,” he said. “We don’t know what the future holds, but we do know present its choice to the full coun- what this year holds.

GHPL to host exhibit of masks made into artwork By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Grandview Heights Public Library will host an exhibition of radiation masks worn by head and neck cancer patients that have been transformed into works of art. “Courage Unmasked for Joan’s Fund” will be on display July 1425 in the library atrium. The exhibition features works by 26 professional visual artists, most from the central Ohio area. The masks will be auctioned Oct. 21 at a gala event at the Franklin Park Conservatory to benefit the Joan Levy Bisesi Foundation for Head and Neck Oncology Research (Joan’s Foundation). The foundation is the fundraising arm of Joan’s Fund, an endowment fund that supports research at the James Cancer Hospital to find a cure for all types of head and neck cancer. “Joan’s Fund” is named for Joan Levy Bisesi, who, along with her husband, created the fund shortly before she passed away in 2001 from cancer that had developed in her mouth. “In the first 10 years, more than $750,000 has been raised for the fund,” said Melinda Fenholt Cogley, executive director of the foundation, which recently earned 501 (c) (3) status and can now begin fundraising efforts on behalf of the fund. The Courage Unmasked exhibit and auction is the foundation’s first fundraising effort, Cogley said. It was inspired by a Courage Unmasked exhibit hosted in 2009 by the American University Museum at the Katzen Art Center in Washington, D.C., she said. “We contacted the organizer of the exhibit, Cookie Kerxton, who is an artist and cancer survivor, and we got her permission to do our own version of Courage Unmasked,” Cogley said. “Our ex-

hibit is the second one in the nation.” The local project differs in that the 26 artists who participated were matched with survivors of head and neck cancer, she said. The artists collaborated with the survivors, using their stories as inspiration for the works of art they created out of the radiation masks. “In some cases, the masks are the same ones the victims used, although once they are done with treatment, people often leave the masks behind or destroy them,” Cogley said. “I know of people who have backed their SUV over their mask or taken them out to a firing range to shoot them.” The negative feelings about the masks are understandable, she said. The masks are used to position and immobilize patients’heads during treatment. “To have such a horrible thing that is used to bolt you down while you go through this grueling treatment turned into a work of art, it’s amazing and so moving,” Cogley said. The masks are being displayed in a number of venues leading up to the Oct. 21 gala, she said. Each mask is accompanied by a text from the artist identifying the survivor with whom they worked and how they were inspired by their story, she said. “I think people are overwhelmed

when they read the stories behind the artists’ work,” Cogley said. One of the artists who participated in the project is Jeanie Auseon of Upper Arlington. The title of her piece, “My Voice” is taken from the title of a book written by her survivor/collaborator Dr. Itzhak Brook of Washington, D.C. Brook lost his voice during his treatment for throat cancer and his book detailed his experience. Auseon used paper mache to create three moldings of the mask. Brook’s face is subtly placed behind one of the masks and another features a photo of Auseon and her twin brother, who was also treated for cancer. Photos of other people are also used in the piece to represent the universality of cancer and how it can affect anybody, Auseon said. Words from Brook’s book are also displayed. “I used bright, vibrant colors to represent hope and vitality,” she said. “This was a very special project for me, not only because I got to work with Dr. Brook, but also because of my own personal connection.” More information about the Courage Unmasked project, photos of the masks, and a link to purchase tickets to the Oct. 21 gala is available at www.joansfoundation.org.

G. Michael’s Bistro serves seafood treasures Summer officially just started, but I’m already worried you’re going to blow it. How? Well, by missing out on great-here today, gone-tomorrow delicacies. That would be a shame, because eating fleetingly available seasonal treasures — and I’m not even talking about vegetables — not only thrills your taste buds, but it fills you with a seize-the-day pleasure that makes life richer. You want that, right? If not, stop reading. If yes, get yourself to G. Michael’s for a plate of rare and incredible seafood. With its warm-weather menu in place, G. Michael’s has lightened up a bit. I’ll eventually get to some wonderful items on that list (and how to get them at a discount), but first I want to point you to the recurring summertime specials that have gotten me so “Don’t miss it!” excited: sublime and difficult-to-find whitefleshed salmon plus some of the best soft-shell crabs around.

After 14 years in Northland, Spain to reopen in Lewis Center

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Spain Restaurant is opening at the intersection of Powell Road and U.S. Route 23 after being in Northland for 14 years

A new era in the history of Spain Restaurant begins in Lewis Center. After 14 years in the Northland area, the restaurant has relocated to 76 Powell Road, in the former Beeb’s Deli location. Owner Andres Casal said he closed the Northland site in late May to concentrate on his new store, set to open later this month. “The space is comfortable,” he said. “It’s nice — not too big, not too small.” He has spent the last several months renovating the interior, building a bar and installing a new floor and seating. The 3,600-square-foot building seats 120, with another 40 on the patio. The menu offers many traditional Spanish dishes, such as paella, gazpacho and cabrito, or goat, which is marinated for four days before being slow-cooked. The bill of fare is heavy on seafood dishes, with beef and poultry dishes represented as well. There’s even duck a l’orange, using Casal’s own special recipe. Most dinner entrees are in the $17 to $20 range. In addition to a set lunch menu, 10 specials will be featured for the afternoon crowd, Casal said. No lunch item will top $10, he said. All desserts — including flan, cheesecake and tres leches cake — are made from scratch. Spain also will carry a full liquor license but will not offer tapas, a style of small plates often misinterpreted in American restaurants. “Maybe in the future I’ll open a tapas bar — a real tapas bar — downtown,” he said. As with the previous location, the latest Spain will have white tablecloths and linen napkins

for a sophisticated look but a casual ambience. The restaurant got its start in 1994 on the West Side. Casal, who began cooking professionally in restaurants in New Jersey, was hired at the original location shortly after it opened. He bought his way into the ownership over the years. Casal will reopen Spain nightclub in the former storefront at 888 W. Dublin-Granville Road in the Best Western Hotel in the next week or so, he said. It will be open Friday and Saturday. Yet, the neighborhood couldn’t seem to get back on the upswing, so Casal decided to move to an area that’s closer to his customer base. With few upscale dining options in the immediate area, the restaurant is perfectly situated between Polaris and nearby Powell, he said. “It’s good for me,” he said. “Competition is good but sometimes it’s good to not have too much competition.” Misperceptions still persist about Spanish cooking, which tends to be lumped in with any cuisine south of the American border, Casal said. He said his style of cuisine is largely uncomplicated, allowing for clean, natural flavors. “I think the best food is the simplest,” he said. Spain will be open for lunch Monday through Friday and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (740) 548-6900.

House sends anti-texting bill to senate for approval By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Once again, a bill prohibiting texting while driving will go before the Ohio Senate for approval. The Ohio House passed the measure, House Bill 99, 88-10 last week. The legislation was co-sponsored by Rep. Nancy Garland (DNew Albany) and Rep. Rex Damschroder (R-Fremont). “This is about saving lives,” Garland said. H.B. 99 would ban entering or reading text messages on any device, including cellphones, personal digital assistants and laptop computers, while driving. It also would require driver-education courses to include instruction in the dangers of texting while driving. Drivers would be permitted to text only if their vehicles were not moving and were pulled off the road.

The bill stipulates that textingwhile-driving violations would be considered minor misdemeanors, with possible fines up to $150. Garland said she introduced similar legislation last year, which the House also approved. However, the bill died in the Senate. “We’re hopeful we can get this bill introduced in the Senate this year,” she said, mentioning that she and other legislators are working to get senators interested in the bill. She said the legislature has one working day in July and doesn’t meet again until September. Garland said the idea for the bill came from one of her constituents in Gahanna, Sharon Montgomery. Montgomery’s husband died after complications from an accident caused by a driver who was using a cellphone. Montgomery has spoken regularly at various government meet-

ings in effort to get municipalities to pass legislation textingwhile-driving bans. Garland said it would be difficult to ban cellphone usage entirely in vehicles, but she called regulating texting is “a step in the right direction.” H.B. 99 would exclude emergency personnel and public-safety forces; people using navigation devices; people receiving messages through radio air waves; and people receiving safety information, weather alerts or other “data used primarily by the motor vehicle;” people “reading, selecting, or entering a name or telephone number in an electronic wireless communications device for the purpose of making or receiving a telephone call;” people using a device that does not work manually; and people “operating a commercial truck while using a mobile data terminal that transmits and receives data.”

The International City/County Management Association (ICMA) has named the city of Upper Arlington a recipient of a 2011 Community Partnership Program of Excellence Award for the “Services to Age in Your Upper Arlington” (or STAY UA) program. The ICMA Community Partnership Awards recognize “…programs or processes that demonstrate innovation, excellence and success in multi-participant involvement between and/or among a local government and governmental entities, private sector businesses, individuals, or nonprofit agencies to improve the quality of life for residents or provide more efficient and effective services.” STAY UA began as a pilot program in 2009, and immediately began making a meaningful difference in the lives of the community’s elderly and frail residents when they most needed help. Today, STAY UA is an established program embedded in the Fire Division, in partnership with local home healthcare agency InCare, a subsidiary of National Church Residences. With STAY UA, when called to the home of residents having issues living independently, the city’s Fire Division emergency re-

by Greg VanHorssen A SCREEN WITH HOLES Universal newborn screening tests, which are performed soon after birth, measure a baby’s ability to hear sounds at a few different frequencies. However, as effective as these mandatory screenings are, passing a newborn hearing test is not a guarantee against deafness. The potential problem is that infants may have some hearing at the time the test is administered but develop hearing loss in subsequent years. This finding comes from a recent study of children with cochlear implants, devices that transmit sound to the auditory nerve. Nearly one-third of the children with the implanted devices initially passed mandatory screening. With this in mind, a second round of screening one or two years later is suggested. Some babies are born with hearing problems while other children are born with normal hearing and begin to have hearing problems as they grow older. It’s important to know what to expect as your baby grows, because hearing problems can delay the development of voice, speech, and language skills. If you are concerned about your child’s hearing please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation. Many of our patients have discovered that traveling to Gahanna was worth their drive. We are First in Class on Angie List, 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. Come see why patients are willing to make the drive to invest in their hearing. We look forward to hearing from you

Wrestling

McCormick steps down as Golden Bears coach By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Grant McCormick enjoyed each of his five seasons coaching the Upper Arlington High School wrestling team, but developments in his personal life led him to step down this offseason. The biggest factor was that McCormick wanted to spend more time with his wife, Beth, his 4-year-old daughter, Meredith, and his 4-monthold son, Hayden. McCormick also has been bothered by a right shoulder injury that might

require surgery, and he's looking to explore different options within his job as an attorney. “I'll really miss coaching these kids, but there was the perfect storm of other matters that I need to attend to that led to me leaving,” McCormick said. “I don't know how to coach without being on the mat working with the kids, and I coached all year with a broken collarbone and an injured shoulder, and that was probably the final straw for me. “But I've also got two young kids who I don't get to see by the light of

the day during wrestling season, and that's huge. Also, I'm looking into practicing law in some different ways and not many people want to hire an attorney who has to leave by 3 p.m. every day, so there are a lot reasons to step aside and let someone else do this.” McCormick helped guide 2009 graduate Kevin Drake to three consecutive Division I state tournament appearances from 2007-09. Drake placed fourth at 145 pounds in the 2009 state tournament. Kyle Frost also qualified for the

2009 state tournament, where he went 1-2 at 152. “The state tournament appearances were bittersweet because you always hope to do better, but I'm proud of Kevin and Kyle for making it there,” McCormick said. “But the biggest highlight for me is the personal relationships with the kids. We've had a lot of neat kids come through our program the last five years and they were a fun group to coach.” McCormick is confident that his successor will enjoy a successful run leading the program.

“We didn't have as much success as we wanted to have, so maybe it's time for a fresh voice to lead the way,” McCormick said. “I feel like we've left the program in a good spot where we have a lot of brothers and young talent within our program who will move up and do well. This is a good opportunity for the next guy coming in because I'll be surprised if they don't send four kids to state next year. There are some studs in the youth ranks, so there's a solid 10-year run coming See MCCORMICK, page C3

Commentary

Strong mindset key for athletes Ask any athlete, at any level, about the importance of the mental side of sports and he or she will say that believing in oneself is critical to success. This week, the central Ohio high school student-athletes in my summer series talk about how self-conLARRY fidence imLARSON pacts their performance. Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Confidence is one of the most vital things to have when playing a sport. If you don’t believe in yourself then you will never reach your full potential.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “If you don’t believe in yourself, your body will do what your mind thinks, so you won’t progress. Just like my coach says, ‘Your body is stupid and it is up to your mind.’” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I was told, ‘If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,’ and it seems to be that every time I thought that way, it happened.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “You absolutely have to be confident in yourself and in your ability to perform under pressure.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I think it is important to believe in yourself and have confidence, but never be cocky and arrogant. Teammates are the most important part in sports and without each and every teammate I would have never achieved anything.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “If you don’t think you can do it, you won’t be able to do it. If you don’t believe in your abilities, nobody else will either. You shouldn’t rely on others to build that confidence. It has to be you believing in yourself.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley football and wrestling: “One can only perform to their own expectations. If they expect highly of themselves and know they can perform highly then they will perform highly.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Self-confidence gives me comfort and makes me achieve what I want to achieve. I believe in what I do and know I can do it, which is why I trust my game

Top Individual Performances: Nos. 6-10

Athletes’ exploits remembered From staff reports

Whether they set a state record, put together a stellar performance or accomplished a feat that hasn’t stopped wowing us, central Ohio athletes have created indelible memories for followers of high school sports. After chronicling “20 Years of Upsets” in 2009 and the “Most Dominating Teams” last summer, for our third annual summer series we set out to find the “Top Individual Performances” of the ThisWeek Community Newspapers era that began 22 years ago. Discussions were held among the staff at ThisWeek, as well as with our colleague Steve Blackledge from The Columbus Dispatch, and we arrived at a top 10 along with 10 honorable mentions. Beginning July 14, we will run a retrospective article on each of the top five performances, with one story running each week until we finish on Aug. 11 with what we consider the top individual performance. So what makes one performance stand higher than another? One key factor in the rankings dealt with the stage on which it occurred. Performances that happened late in the postSee LARSON, page C3 season against tough opposition

Honorable mention JAKE BLANKENSHIP, Gahanna boys track and field (June 4, 2011) — The junior cleared 17 feet in the pole vault to capture the Division I state championship. That set the state-meet record in the event and helped him win a yearlong battle with Olentangy Liberty twin brothers Joey and Chris Uhle, who took second and third, respectively. TROY BOWERS, Westerville South wrestling (March 4-6, 1999) — A broken hand sidelined him for a month of the regular season, but Bowers went on to pin three of his four opponents at state and win the Division I title at heavyweight. In the final, Bowers pinned future NFL player Alex Stepanovich of Berea in 1:03. CLAIRE DURKIN, Worthington Kilbourne girls cross country (Nov. 3, 2007) — Durkin completed a stellar prep career by winning the state championship in 17:10.5. The time set the state-meet record in Division I. MINDY HAMMOND, DeSales girls soccer (Nov. 5, 1997) — During a state semifinal against defending

champion Chagrin Falls, the senior goalkeeper made a diving save to preserve a one-goal lead with 17:38 remaining. Three minutes later, she scored on a penalty kick to seal what would become a 3-0 win. JACK RAFFERTY, Dublin Coffman football (Oct. 31, 2003) — The senior quarterback who would become the district’s Player of the Year in Division I and the ThisWeek Super 25 captain threw for 152 yards and rushed for a school-record 285 yards with four touchdowns as the Shamrocks beat Marion Harding 31-22 in their playoff opener. KRISTA KEIR, Westerville South girls track and field (June 6-7, 1997) — Two weeks after setting the state record in the discus (176-5), Keir threw 166-10 on June 6 to break the state-meet record. The next day, she threw 50-4 3/4 in the shot put to capture another title. WENDY LYONS, Westerville South girls tennis (Oct. 19-20, 1990) — Lyons capped a career in which she went 126-6 by losing just one set in the 1990 Division I state tournament.

Her 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 win over Centerville’s Melissa Zimpfer in the final gave her a 41-0 record for the season. B.J. MULLENS, Canal Winchester boys basketball (Jan. 21, 2008) — At the Flyin’ to the Hoop Classic in Fairborn, the senior and future Ohio State and NBA player had 62 points, 24 rebounds and three blocked shots to lead the Indians to a 79-69 win over New York (N.Y.) Our Savior New American. AUSTIN STAAB, Westerville Central boys swimming (Feb. 23-24, 2007) — In his final prep meet, Staab tied the national record and won the 100 butterfly in 47.1 on Feb. 23. The next day, the Stanford recruit clocked a time of 43.93 to win the 100 freestyle. ESTABAN WEAVER, Hartley boys basketball (March 18, 1995) — The Hawks advanced to a Division III state semifinal with a 72-68 victory over Germantown Valley View, led by the play of Weaver. He scored 36 points and teamed with Matt Lowery on two key defensive stops down the stretch.

were given extra credit. B.J. Mullens of Canal Winchester scored 62 points during a 2008 regular-season game, but Charles Johnson ranks ahead of that for his 57-point game that helped Watkins Memorial upset a state-ranked team in the 1995 Division II district tournament. Also considered was whether the athlete performed spectacu-

larly in more than one aspect during the game or meet in question. For example, Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship set a state-meet record when he won the Division I boys pole vault championship last month, but Brookhaven’s Khalilah Carpenter ranks higher because she broke the state record in the girls 100 meters and also added a title in the 200 in the 2000 state meet.

Without further ado, below are Nos. 10-6 of the top individual performances of the past 22 years, with an honorable mention list in the accompanying box: 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 7516 to earn the City League-Red Division title and a Division II playoff berth as the senior and future Ohio State running back rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. He had six first-half touchdowns and added scoring runs of 57 and 71 yards in the second half. LaToya Turner, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final and exact revenge for a painful defeat with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. They had lost to the Grizzlies in a 1997 state semifinal. 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. The Tigers beat Mason 4630 the next day to earn their sixth state title. Darcy Fishback, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — The 2009 Division I state meet

Baseball

Many factors cause dip in area Legion teams need to make your jump in improvement during the summer. “(The Team Columbus) schedule is such that we’re playing select teams and we’re playing the true Legion teams in these tournaments. That’s what we want.”

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

How long does it take a trend to become the norm? In the past few years, central Ohio baseball players have started taking their talents to travel squads at the expense of American Legion teams. The players, high school coaches and Legion coaches debate the reasons for the change, but it doesn’t appear to be something that can be easily resolved. “The number of teams has decreased, but I wouldn’t say the talent has necessarily decreased that much,” said Michael Higgins, baseball chairman in Legion District 12. “I think we peaked a few years back when we had a dozen or more teams in District 12. Now we have six teams in the Senior Division and we have four teams in the Junior Division, which is in its second season of being officially recognized by American Legion. “When we had 12 (Senior Division) teams, people around the state were amazed. I think the increase to 12 teams was the abnormality, not the decrease in posts we’re now experiencing.”

ECONOMIC WOES Higgins said one of the big reasons for fewer posts offering baseball is the weak economy. “The economy has definitely played a role because many of the posts can’t afford to play in tournaments every weekend in addition to the league play during the week,” Higgins said. “I also think the increasing number of participants in sports such as soccer and lacrosse has taken away some of our kids.” About a dozen years ago, Newark Post 85 ran into a similar problem and decided to only fund a few of its team’s tournaments. The area’s baseball gurus got together and formed the Licking County Athletics. After a few separate years, the team and Post 85 reunited and added a few other sponsors. The Athletics played a Legion schedule, a Babe Ruth schedule and also played in select elite tournaments. Pickerington Post 283 is in

the same position, playing a schedule similar to what the Athletics played in the past. “Our post is the reason we still have a true Legion team,” coach Chris Weber said. “They support us financially way beyond what 90 percent of other posts in Ohio do. They believe in Legion baseball and baseball has brought good publicity to our post.” Because of Post 283’s financial support, the team plays other travel squads and competes in a number of elite tournaments. “We’re in a special situation where our post supports us well financially,” Weber said. “Some posts just don’t have the money to send the team all over the state and the Midwest.”

PHILOSOPHICAL DIFFERENCES

While the bad economy can be blamed for many things, there is more to this issue. There is a philosophical difference between Legion baseball and high school baseball

coaches. “The reason for the decline (in Legion baseball), in my opinion, is that there are too many baseball teams in central Ohio at this age,” Worthington Post 239 coach Jim Townsend said. “I think the talent is diluted and the result seems to be that Legion is not as competitive as it once was. “I think the high school coaches chose the easy way out and turned posts into an extension of the spring season. They want their kids playing together and that has ruined Legion baseball in central Ohio. Outside of central Ohio, Legion remains very competitive.” Post 239 went 2-2 in the state tournament last season. But Thomas Worthington coach Stephen Gussler, Worthington Kilbourne coach Jeff Boulware, Watterson coach Scott Manahan and Upper Arlington coach Matt Middleton then decided to form a travel team, Team Columbus. “There are multiple reasons for choosing not to play Legion

this year,” Middleton said. “It has become a form of high school-only ball and the play is so inconsistent. We would beat up on somebody one day and then get beaten up the next day. The level of play was so drastic and inconsistent that, in this sport, you can get bored with it rather quickly. “In Columbus, it’s been about keeping the younger guys together from the same high school. In Upper Arlington, we kept the freshmen together and just played U-15 travel ball. But the older they get, you want them competing and being successful playing with and against strong competition.” With the high school season being short in Ohio, it is difficult to put the blame solely on high school coaches, Middleton said. “It’s all about how much improvement you can make in the offseason,” he said. “Truthfully, the high school season is so short, and when you have two straight weeks of rainouts, you really accomplish very little. You really

AJGA’s Columbus Junior returns to OSU’s Scarlet By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

two seasons. St. Charles won the title both seasons and Yankovich tied for second (75) in the tournament in 2009, when rain canceled the second round. Last season he tied for 10th (155) and teammate Michael Ricaurte (144) was medalist. Carpenter (159) tied for 18th as St. Charles won by 11 strokes. “I’ve played that course several times, but I don’t have a (score) in mind because it depends on how it’s playing then,” said Yankovich, who has made college visits to Miami University, Michigan State, Illinois and Purdue. “It’s the closest AJGA event, but I want to go in there like I do every tournament — all business. I want to focus on my game, play my best and have fun doing it.” In the girls field, area competitors include Sierra Everson (Gahanna), Tess Fraser (Marysville), Lauren Grogan (Columbus), Erin Harper (Dublin), Natalie Irwin (Columbus), Julie Lechner (Powell), Morgan Ransom (Columbus) and Gina Son (Westerville). Ransom (Columbus Academy), Fraser, Grogan (Watterson) and Lechner (Olentangy Liberty) competed in the event last season. Ransom (227) was fifth, Grogan (229) tied for seventh, Lechner (240) was 18th and Fraser (243) was 19th. Ransom, a senior, was the Division II state champion (140) last season on OSU’s Gray Course after finishing runner-up as a sophomore and freshman. Grogan finished third (151) in the Division I state tournament as Watterson was eighth. Fraser (160) tied for 18th overall as an individual qualifier. “I didn’t play to my ability (in the Columbus Junior) last season,” said Fraser, a senior who won the Tanglewood Junior on the Future Collegians World Tour with a 157 on March 19-20. “Competing in the AJGA is a little stressful, but it is opening my eyes some. I hope to make a name for myself and I’m getting contacts, but I haven’t really heard seriously from any colleges yet. “I hope to finish in the top five in Columbus and I’m working hard trying to hit greens in regulation. I’m hitting fairways, but I need to get to the green to give myself more birdie opportunities.”

The eighth Columbus Junior presented by the Memorial Tournament will be held Tuesday, July 12, through Thursday, July 14, at the Ohio State Golf Club Scarlet Course. It is the third time that the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) event will be played on the Scarlet Course after stops in 2004 and 2009. The Columbus Junior has been held at four venues, also including Dornoch Golf Club (200506), Tartan Fields (2008) and the County Club at Muirfield Village (2007, 2010). Last year, Nicholas Grubnich of Crown Point, Ind., shot a 6-under-par 210 and survived five playoff holes to win the boys division and Lindsey Weaver of Scottsdale, Ariz., posted an 11under 205 to cruise to a 12-stroke victory in the girls division. Neither player will be in the field this season. There are 18 central Ohio players scheduled to take part in the 84-player field, which features top junior players (ages 12-18) from 16 states, Canada and Colombia. Area players on the boys side are Garrett Brickley (Pickerington), Alex Carpenter (Westerville), Thomas Dunne (Dublin), Joo-Young Lee (Hilliard), Matthew Moosavian (Westerville), Mert Selamet (Dublin), David Shepherd (Dublin), Blake Stewart (Dublin), Drew Thompson (Pickerington) and Nate Yankovich (Blacklick). Dunne (Dublin Coffman), Carpenter (St. Charles), Lee (Hilliard Darby), Thompson (Pickerington North) and Yankovich (St. Charles) all competed in the event last season. Carpenter was one of three others who joined Grubnich in the playoff after all four finished with 210s. Dunne (215) tied for 15th, Lee (219) tied for 33rd, Thompson (221) was 37th and Yankovich (222) tied for 38th. “My goal is to finish in the top five,” said Thompson, a 2011 graduate who will play for Guilford College (Greensboro, N.C.), which is a highly ranked NCAA Division III program. “It will be my sixth AJGA event this season, it’s on a fun course and I’ve been playing pretty well.” Yankovich, who will be a senior in the fall, is familiar with the Scarlet Course after playing bemerine@thisweeknews.com in the state tournament with the Cardinals the past www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Johnson added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. Khalilah Carpenter, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet in Dayton Welcome Stadium, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. That time eclipsed her 1998 meet record of 11.74 and broke the all-time mark of 11.63 set in 1993 by Dayton Dunbar’s Danielle Twitty. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and captured the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. Carpenter also helped Brookhaven’s 400 relay to a seventhplace finish.

Eagles U-16 defense falters in Cup final loss By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

the past two days just to make it here, and the Hawks weren’t really tested until they played us.” In the semifinal, the Eagles beat KCFC Force to avenge a 3-2 loss to the same team in a Regional Cup pool-play game a year ago. “They manhandled us on the field to knock us out of the tournament last year, but we turned the tables on them and shocked them with how physical we were,” King said. Five minutes into the game, Hopkins stopped the ball from going over the Eagles’ goal line and cleared it to midfield. Playing into a strong wind, the Eagles battled to a scoreless tie at halftime. They then dominated the second half with the wind at their backs. Agnew scored three consecutive goals and Elise Jones scored with three minutes left to make it 4-0. It was the second three-goal game of the tournament for Agnew, who finished with seven goals in five games. “We were under siege for the first eight minutes and Nicole really saved us on a ball that would have scored,” King said. “Lindsay had a great tournament and her goal just a minute into the second half really broke their spirit because they were going into a stiff wind.” •The Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls team lost to Eclipse Select 3-0 in a semifinal on June 28. “We are probably the best two teams in our region, so it’s a shame we had to meet in the semifinals,” King said. “The score wasn’t indicative of how close the game was because we gave up a couple of soft goals by our standards. We made a couple of mistakes on our end and they punished us for it.”

With defenders Gabby Byorth, Makenzie Costner, Nicole Hopkins and Haley Lehmkuhl and goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas leading the way, the Ohio Premier Eagles Under16 girls soccer team had shutouts in each of its first four Midwest Regional Cup games in Fox Cities, Wis. The defense wasn’t as strong in the final, when the Eagles allowed two goals in the first 12 minutes and lost to the Michigan Hawks 2-0 on June 29. “We hadn’t given up a goal the entire tournament, so we were in shock when we gave up two so quickly,” coach Chris King said. “We conceded a soft goal off a corner kick seven minutes into the game and the kids were a bit taken aback by that. Five minutes later, one of their players took a bad touch on the ball, ran into one of our defenders and went down, and the ref bit on it and gave her a penalty kick, which they scored on.” The Eagles switched from a two-forward to a three-forward formation in the second half, but the Hawks goalkeeper made saves on shots by Bailey Wilson, Emily Byorth and Lindsay Agnew. King said that his team’s 1-0 win over Eclipse Select of Illinois on penalty kicks in its final pool-play game on June 27 and its 4-0 victory over KCFC Force of Kansas in a semifinal on June 28 drained his players of much-needed energy heading into the final. “We had a tougher path to reach the final than the Hawks had and we just didn’t have enough left in the tank to come back and beat them after we fell behind 2-0,” King said. “We pressed every ball in the second half and we had some good chances, but we couldn’t finish them.
