Hometown Inn demolition starts Monday By CARLA SMITH ThisWeek Community Newspapers For three years, Prairie Township has been trying to rid the area of a blighted property at the gateway of the community. The Hometown Inn, located at 4601 W. Broad St., will only be standing a few more hours. It is scheduled to be
demolished beginning at 8 a.m. July 11. The process, including clean-up, is expected to take about two to three weeks. “Removal of this structure will eliminate a blemish on the community, improve traffic safety in the vicinity and stimulate development in the area,” said Doug Stormont, Prairie Township trustee. The township has faced many chal-
lenges in getting rid of the Hometown Inn. Doing so has played a role in completing a major construction project along South Grener Avenue. “Acquiring property for a project like this is a challenge under the best of circumstances,” trustee Steve Kennedy said. “But when the property is a major nuisance, owes $400,000 in back taxes and will need to be acquired through a
short sale, it’s a huge challenge.” Kennedy said early efforts to purchase the property through a sheriff’s sale were stifled by red tape, leading to long delays. Acquisition of easements that had been granted to Waffle House and Home Depot further complicated the process, he said. The township executed a contract to purchase and demolish the Hometown

Bill to ban COOL KID texting while driving sent to Senate
By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
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, by a vote of 88-10. The legislation was co-sponsored by Rep. Nancy Garland (D-New 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 about 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 will not 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 meetings in effort to get municipalities to pass texting-while-driving bans. “My role stays the same,” Montgomery said. “I’ll still be talking to anybody and everybody to try and convince them we need this.” Garland said it would be difficult to ban cellphone usage entirely in vehicles, but she called regulating texting “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.”
Inn in March. The purchase price of the 4.8 acre property was set at $1.3 million. The demolition of the structure is being paid for, in part, through OPWC (Ohio Public Works Commission) funds. “Each step that Prairie Township took to address these challenges had to be coordinated with our funding source and

Mathematician, not a soldier, served his 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 John U.S. Army,” said Bergmann, who is 89. Bergmann “They told me that they had an opportunity for me but couldn’t tell me what it was. It was secret, and 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 lieu-
tenant 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. See MATHEMATICIAN, page A2
The 94th edition of the Franklin County Fair will feature some new events and will honor an old friend. Saturday, July 16, the fair’s opening day, is also Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes Day. Karnes, the longest-serving sheriff in Franklin County history, died last month of pancreatic cancer. He was 71. “He was a big fair supporter, and we want to show our respect and honor him for everything that he’s done for us,” said Allison Rushley, senior fair board member.

For more information, get that tick- visit www.fcfair.org. et. “He was always present at the fair several days throughout the week,” Rushley said of Karnes. “He bought animals from the Junior Fair kids at the livestock sale and he purchased goods from our Junior Fair kids at the creative baking auction. He also entered his fudge and apple pie into our senior fair board contests.” Also on opening day will be three new events at the entertainment tent: a cute baby contest at 3 p.m., when children 5 and younger will be wearing farm attire; a toddler trot at 4 p.m.; and a diaper dash contest at 4:30 p.m. There will be two new daily shows at the fair — bicycle stunts by Rise Above BMX Entertainment, and the Kidbuck$ Game Show, where children can win prizes by doing different activities. Another daily activity is barn tours, when Junior Fair members will talk about the various animals shown at the fair. An old-fashioned draft horse pull is another new event for the fair. “It’s kind of like a truck or tractor pull. You just don’t have the loud noises,” Rushley said. “They hook the horses up, and they see how far the horses pull the weight on the track.” For those interested in more horsepower, the fair will have a truck and tractor pull at 7:30 p.m. July 22. This year, for the first time, the National Tractor Pullers Association will bring a sanctioned event to the Franklin County Fairgrounds. “I like coming up with new and creative things to get people to come to the fair,” Rushley said. “I like seeing the enjoyment on people’s faces once they come to the fair and see everything that we have to offer.” Last year’s attendance was 47,000, Rushley said, and despite rainy or hot and humid days, it has gone up overall in recent years. The Franklin County Fair will run from July 16-23 at the Franklin County Fairgrounds, 4100 Columbia St. in Hilliard. Hours are 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 16, July 22-23; and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. July 17-21. Admission is $5 and $6 (July 22-23); rides separate. For more information, visit www.fcfair.org.

Hometown Inn demolition starts Monday Continued from page A1 partner, the Ohio Public Works Commission,” Kennedy said. Once the hotel is gone, the eastern portion of the property will be used for the road improvement and realignment associated with the South Grener Avenue project. “Once the project is complete, the board will begin the process of identifying how much of the
remaining site can be sold in order to recoup the portion of the purchase price not reimbursed by the Ohio Public Works Commission,” Kennedy said. He said projects like this in the future will be contingent on residents approving the creation of a JEDD (Joint Economic Development District). Residents will have the opportunity to vote on that option this fall. “The proposed JEDD will
allow the township to do additional work such as this without having to raise property taxes,” Kennedy said. He said the JEDD revenue could assist the township and the Prairie CIC (Community Improvement Corporation) in identifying and implementing ways to improve smaller properties along West Broad Street, as well as potions of Mix and Hilton Avenues. JEDD revenues could also
be used in conjunction with OPWC funding to proceed with road improvement projects on streets such as Woodlawn Avenue and Beacon Hill Road. “Without additional revenue, projects such as these will be cut back or halted for the foreseeable future,” Kennedy said. “State budget cuts and revenue shortfalls (have resulted) from the weak economy.” Csmithwestside@aol.com
Mathematician served country in WWII Continued from page A1 “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.’” 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. In 2008, Bergmann was honored by the Upper Arlington Senior Center for his serv-
ice 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.”

Rain barrels reduce a family’s demand for treated tap water, thus lowering your water bill.” EarthMinded, a subsidiary of Greif Inc., which has its headquarters in Delaware, has partnered with the city of Columbus and is providing RainStations to the city at the discounted rate. The EarthMinded RainStation rain barrel for sale through the program connects to downspouts and automatically collects runoff water from a house’s roof. It includes everything needed for installation, has a 65-gallon capacity and is easily winterized. Technical assistance is also available to participants. “We’re proud to be part of the Columbus GreenSpot Backyard Conservation program,” Scott Griffin, vice president of Sustainability for Greif, said in the announcement. “Initiatives such as this play a critical role in educating and inspiring people to take action and we are very happy to be a part of this change.” The city has contracted with Franklin Soil and Water to administer the program and partner with local nonprofit watershed groups to conduct the educational workshops. “The city of Columbus is rich in water resources from small creeks in wooded ravines, accessible rivers and reservoirs,” said Jennifer Fish, executive director of Franklin Soil and Water. “Conserving and protecting these resources is important to our community for drinking water, recre-

Mayor Michael B. Coleman, council member Eileen Paley and representatives from Greif Inc. and the Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation District last week announced the launch of the “Columbus GreenSpot Backyard Conservation Program.” Under the program, rain barrels currently offered through Mayor Coleman’s GreenSpot Backyard Conservation Program will be available for $45, about one-third of the $139 retail price. Residents will be required to first register their home as a GreenSpot and then either attend one of 14 workshops throughout July, August and September or pass an online quiz at www. ColumbusRainBarrels.org. “Through this public-private partnership it will be even easier for our residents to get green, saving money and the environment,” the mayor said in a press release. “A rain barrel is an easy way to get water for yards and gardens, and the best part is, the water is free.” Columbus residents participating in the program will become familiar with the effects of urban runoff and learn about the tools to manage storm water issues. By using a rain barrel, households will recharge the ground water supply, decrease the impact of runoff to streams, and save money by reducing the use of treated tap water to water their gardens. “A rain barrel connected to a downspout is a great way to help the environment and improve household finances,” Paley said in the release. “They will keep

As it were
Modes of transportation evolve with growth of city Many people coming to Columbus for the first time from larger cities are astonished to find that there are few, if any, cabs to be easily found. And certainly, if one has been accustomed to find a cab waiting as soon as one stepped outED side, Columbus is a bit disapLENTZ pointing. But in response, one should keep in mind that New York is a city of more than 8 million while Columbus’entire metro area is only a bit larger than 1 million. Perhaps when we are a city of 8 million, we will have a cab on every corner as well. In the meantime, it would be well to point out that Columbus does have a lot of cabs. While most of them work the airport and most of the major hotels, it is not too terribly hard to get a cab to come to virtually any address in the city. Like most Midwestern cities, Columbus does not have an extraordinarily large number of cabs for a simple reason: They are not needed. The majority of people living in central Ohio rely on cars or public transportation to get around and do not find themselves regularly in need of a cab to get from place to place. It’s been that way for quite some time. Columbus was brought into being to be the new state capital of Ohio in 1812. For much of its early history, there was little need for public transportation. With the arrival of the National Road and Ohio Canal in the early 1830s, the borough of Columbus soon had 5,000 residents and became the city of Columbus in 1834. But even then, the town still remained quite compact in size, with the boundaries of North Public Lane at what is now Nationwide Boulevard and South Public Lane at Livingston Avenue. One early account of the city’s history notes that if one were planning to leave town on a long journey, word was sent to the local stagecoach office and the stage stopped at one’s front door on the way out of town. Life was a little simpler in those days. The world became a little more cosmopolitan with the arrival of the first railroad into central Ohio in 1850. The Columbus and Xenia Railroad linked the capital city to the county seat of Greene County in southwest Ohio. Why build a railroad to Xenia? In Xenia, one might catch a train on a different railroad to Cincinnati, then the largest city in Ohio. And it should be pointed out that on its arrival in central Ohio, the Columbus and Xenia Railroad did not come all the way into Columbus. Lacking a bridge across the Scioto, the railroad stopped in the nearby village of Franklinton on the west side of the river. It was because of the arrival of the railroad that the need arose for a regular form of transport between the hotels of Columbus and the railroad station. On March 9, 1853, a local entrepreneur named B. O. Ream advertised an omnibus service that would run every hour in the day starting at 6:40 a.m. between the American House

Columbus’ first train station (1850-1875), with an early streetcar passing along what is now the intersection of Nationwide Boulevard and High Street, circa 1870.
Hotel at State and High streets and the railroad station. With the completion of the Scioto River bridge, the omnibus service ran from the train station to all parts of the city. By 1867, there were nine omnibuses in use. They were complemented by an “express wagon” service that was begun in 1854 to deliver packages and freight to all parts of the city and a “pygmy omnibus” service that was begun by one Thomas Brockway in 1855. According to a local paper, a pygmy omnibus seated only four persons, and, “The ladies find them convenient for shopping and the beaux will not use anything else for evening parties.” That was the case at least until the more stylish hackney carriage or “hack” was introduced in Columbus during the Civil War. W. B. Hawkes had made his early fortune in the stagecoach business and now turned his attention to local transportation. His hack service was quite successful. As one local account reported, “... during the Rebellion, this species of vehicle did a thriving business. Money was plenty, officers and soldiers were prodigal of their funds, and the hack men got the benefit. A city ordinance fixed their compensation at 25 cents per passenger, yet one case came to the writer’s knowledge in which a driver charged and was paid $15 for less than 90 minutes time.” With this rapid growth, one might think that by the time Columbus reached the 1890s, it would have dozens of hacks and omnibuses on its streets. Yet there were only six omnibuses and about 30 hacks serving a city of more than 100,000 people. The reason for this lack of vehicles was the success of another mode of transportation.
On June 10, 1863, in the middle of the American Civil War, a local paper reported that something new was on the streets of Columbus. “Yesterday, at a few minutes before noon, the first car passed over the street railroad, and of course it was the observed of the observable. In the afternoon and evening, a large number of passengers from the depot availed themselves of this easy mode of reaching the hotels. Today the remaining cars will be placed on the track and regular trips will be commenced.” Plans to build a streetcar line had been first proposed in 1854, but it took the arrival of large numbers of troops in town during the Civil War to move the project forward. Initially operating only on High Street and then on Broad Street, the horsedrawn streetcars would soon be joined by other streetcar lines serving other parts of the city. By the 1890s, the streetcar lines had been electrified and consolidated into one unified Columbus Railway Power and Light Co. and Columbus was a city of “streetcar suburbs.” A local history from that time noted, “The project of building a belt railway for the transportation of freight and passengers — particularly freight — around the city has been many times proposed and sometimes definitely formulated during the past 10 or 15 years, but a positive undertaking it is yet in the future.” What was not foreseen in the 1890s was the rise of motor vehicles. When the “beltway” was completed, Interstate-270 would be the home of all sorts of vehicles. But none of them would run on rails.

Post 532W coach confident entering tournament By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Coach Greg Burke said he expects a competitive showing from the Don Gentile American Legion Post 532W (Westland) baseball team in the District 12 senior tournament. Burke’s confidence results from a regular season that has featured several highlights. Post 532W was 7-6 overall and 22 in District 12 play heading into its league game against Worthington Post 239 on July 7.
Post 532W closed out its regular season against Columbus (Hartley) Post 430 on July 8. The six-team double elimination senior tournament begins Monday, July 11. The winner advances to the state tournament, which begins July 25. Burke was proud of the way his team played in a 6-0 win over Gahanna Post 797A on June 30 at Gahanna. Kris Carius pitched a complete game, allowing four hits while striking out seven and walking one. Brady Willis had a two-run double in a six-run first inning.
“I thought the Gahanna game was our most solid game of the year, beginning to end,” Burke said. “We jumped out and scored six in the top of the first. We were just hitting (and) hitting, a lot of station-to-station stuff. Kris Carius threw a complete game and we played defense behind him. Everybody was into the game.” Entering its game against Post 239, Post 532W was looking to bounce back from a 15-3 five-inning, nonleague loss to Circleville Post 134 on July 5 at Westland. “I just didn’t have a real good feel-
ing when we came out here tonight,” Burke said. “It was one of those nights where everybody has one. I just didn’t feel that the switch was flipped on. If this team has a weakness, it’s getting started.” Post 134, which has several college players, received home runs from Teays Valley graduate Cole Cunningham and Circleville graduate Eddie Strawser. Cunningham will play at Ohio Wesleyan. Left-handed pitcher John Klinebriel, who graduated from Circleville in May and will play at Capital, al-
lowed one run in four innings. Post 532W pitchers allowed eight walks. “You can’t play defense when it’s walk, walk, walk,” Burke said. “The defense gets back on their heels and they start kicking the dirt and looking down at the ground. In all of baseball, the walk is absolutely the worst thing that you can do. If you start putting them on, then everybody starts going to sleep.” Devin Doudna and Zak Ogilbee had See LEGION, page A6

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 and just go out and compete.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Self-confidence is huge when it is time to perform. If you don’t have any self-confidence then you’re out of luck and you are going to have a lot of trouble trying to do what you want to do.” Next week, the student-athletes will tell you about the qualities they like best in a coach. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

Softball
Joseph steps down as Silver Knights coach By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
One of central Ohio’s most successful high school softball programs the past two decades will have a new coach next spring. Nick Joseph, who went 412-135 in 20 seasons as Ready’s coach and led the Silver Knights to the 1995 Division II state championship, stepped down in mid-June. For Joseph, it was a difficult decision, but one he believed was due to occur because he saw himself “physically going slower.”
“I think mentally that I could probably still do it, but physically it was just time,” Joseph said. “I’m sad about it. I’ll always remember the tremendous games we won, the tremendous games we lost. I waited until after the (team) banquet because I didn’t want the banquet to be about me. I’m disappointed that it has to end, but I met great friends and I had some of the greatest kids.” Joseph spent eight seasons as junior varsity coach with the Silver Knights before taking over the program in 1992. Ready went on to win 11 CCL championships and 10 district titles under Joseph.
After Joseph led the program to its only state title during his fourth season, the Silver Knights were state runnersup the next season. In 2001, Ready began a run in which it reached nine consecutive district finals. The Silver Knights were state semifinalists in 2009. They also won consecutive conference titles from 2005-09. Last season, Ready went 17-7 and lost to Liberty Union 3-2 in a Division III district final. Joseph, who is not a teacher, owns the business Pak Mail, which specializes in package shipping. “We changed the way we play soft-
ball at Ready,” Joseph said. “I was pretty pleased with what we did. I love this game, but I don’t know if I want to do all of the work you have to do to run a high school program. Not one person pushed me to do this, and I didn’t decide before the season, but I knew it was going to be close. The thing that made me think about it is that you have to lose another great group of kids that you’ve had for four years and I just don’t want to do that anymore.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

AJGA’s Columbus Junior returns to Scarlet By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
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 (2005-06), 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 11-under 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 in the state tournament with the Cardinals the past 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 Uni-

versity, 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 1920. “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.

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 seventh-place finish.

Golf
AJGA’s Columbus Junior returns to Scarlet By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
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 (2005-06), 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 11-under 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 in the state tournament with the Cardinals the past 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 Uni-
LEGION
versity, 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 1920. “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.� bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

RBI singles and Korey Browning added an RBI groundout for Post 532W. “We’ve been playing well lately, just not today,� Willis said. “They’re a really good team.� Post 134 won both games against Post 532W this season, also winning 9-6 on June 7. Post 532W lost to Westerville (Central) Post 171C 9-6 on June 28. Post 171C scored eight runs
TOP Continued from page A5 ing 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
9
state title. Darcy Fishback, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — The 2009 Division I state meet in Canton was full of memories for this senior as she led the Golden Bears to their fifth consecutive team championship. 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). 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 freethrow line. His point total broke the all-divisions district tournament scoring mark. 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 seventh-place finish.
