Polaris Parkway and Africa Road

Developers present new plans By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The undeveloped northwest corner of Polaris Parkway and Africa Road soon could see new office buildings and retail space. Developers Daimler Group and Casto presented revised plans for the site to the Westerville Planning Commission on July 27. The plans included two fourstory office buildings on the northern

portion of the 22-acre site, with retail parcels lining Polaris Parkway. The plans are similar to one approved by the planning commission in 2006, calling for a retail strip center with retail outlots on the site, Westerville planner Jeff Buehler said. In this case, the office space would replace the retail strip center. The office buildings would be closer to Polaris Parkway than the strip center would have been, with a large parking

field, including more than 300 parking spaces, to the north of the buildings and at the corner of Africa Road and Polaris Parkway. City staff and planning commission members shared concerns over the volume of parking on the site, the tree coverage on the site and about the circulation through the parking lot. The biggest concern expressed by planning commission members focused on the plans to put a parking lot direct-

ly at the corner of Africa Road and Polaris Parkway. “The sea of asphalt — I think that’s a good description. Something’s going to have to be done there,” said member Paul Johnson. “You’ve got to get through what you’re going to do with the southeast corner, and the parking lot isn’t going to cut it.” Daimler representative Paul Ghidotti See DEVELOPERS, page A2

Congestion on state Route 3 worsens as motorists prepare to turn onto the entrance ramp to I-270 west.

City, ODOT work to keep traffic moving By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

It’s become a familiar site at rush hour: Stopped cars backed up onto Interstate 270 from state Route 3 and stop-and-go traffic on South State Street from Schrock Road to I-270. As both the Ohio Department of Transportation and the city of Westerville make improvements to Route 3, officials are working to keep traffic moving through what was already a congested area. ODOT is spending $7 million to rebuild Route 3 from Huber Village Boulevard to state Route 161. Through October 2012, the two-mile stretch of road will be widened, and bike lanes, turn lanes and sidewalks

At the same time, the city is continuing its South State Street improvement project, which involves rebuilding portions of Heatherdown Drive and Huber Village Boulevard, widening South State Street to add

an additional left-turn lane in both directions, replacing traffic signals, widening sidewalks, adding streetlights and enhancing the landscaping. “We knew it was going to be a painful process for the next 18 months. Sometimes will be easier than other,” Westerville city engineer Susan Banbury said. The fact two construction projects are happening in the same area

makes coordinating traffic even more difficult, said ODOT spokeswoman Nancy Burton. “Ideally, we don’t like to have people go from one construction zone to another,” Burton said. “We all have the same construction season, which is April to November. … We all have to work in the same couple of months, and we’re all eager to get our projects done, but that is a challenge.” State Route 3 also is a challenge, Burton said, because it’s an old road with old utilities and a very narrow work space, which means there isn’t much room for construction crews to work while traffic flows through.

Huntington Bank will upgrade its 45-year-old branch at South State Street and Schrock Road. The Westerville Planning Commission on July 27 approved the company’s application to demolish the 3,000-square-foot building and construct a new, 4,600-square-foot facility on the site. The new branch would be built closer to the corner, with a 25-foot setback, as is outlined in the city’s South State Street Overlay standards. Plans call for a single-story, red brick building, with a rounded corner constructed of metal and large windows facing South State Street and Schrock Road. All of the building’s windows would be accented by Huntington Bank’s new signature bright green, prompting some negative comments from commission members. “I’m not real comfortable with it,” said Councilwoman Diane Fosselman, who sits on the commission. “If I knew we were going to have this color green for the next five years, I would be OK with it. I’m concerned about having this color green for the next 20 to 30 years and it look very dated.” Other commission members didn’t appear concerned about the color. “I like the color. Maybe it’s too much; spice it up,” commission member Amy Koorn said. Huntington Bank’s request for left turns from the parking lot onto Schrock Road also drew discussion. Architect David Youse asked the city to allow left turns out of the parking lot in the short term and, after a planned median on Schrock Road is built, to allow a break in the median so that motorists could continue to turn left into and left out of the parking lot. Commission members quickly rejected the reSee PLANNING, page A2

Frozen yogurt comes to Westerville Plaza By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Westerville residents have a new cool treat to help beat the summer heat. The city has joined the self-serve frozenyogurt movement with the opening of Josie’s, which celebrated its grand opening last week in Westerville Plaza, at the southwest corner of South State Street and Schrock Road. Under the self-serve yogurt concept, the store offers 12 flavors of yogurt at a time and 36 toppings, including fresh fruit, candy and syrups, which patrons could use to fill their empty paper bowls. At the register, the bowls are weighed, and customers pay 45 cents an ounce. Other communities have seen similar frozenyogurt shops open in the past year, including Menchie’s in Dublin, Yagoot at Easton and Cuzzin’s in Upper Arlington. Another Josie’s

is scheduled to open at Polaris. The Westerville store is owned by a team of family members from Newark: husband and wife Brian and Lisa Jeffries; Lisa Jeffries’ parents, Randy and Cammie Sabo; and Lisa Jeffries’ cousin, Peggy Komada. The owners said they were inspired to open their own Josie’s after a family member opened a shop in Heath last year. The chain appealed to the family because it focuses on providing a healthier product, with no high-fructose corn syrup, a lower amount of carbohydrates per serving than most yogurts and about 80 calories on average per 4-ounce serving, Lisa Jeffries said. The yogurt is gluten-free, and the company offers sugar-free, Stevia-sweetened variBy Adam Cairns/ThisWeek eties, as well as lactose-free sorbets.

Developers present new plans for Polaris Parkway, Africa Road Continued from page A1 argued the parking was needed to accommodate the amount of office space on the site. If enough parking is not available for employees, Ghidotti said, businesses won’t rent the space. “If we have to reduce our parking, we’re going to lose square footage, we’re going to loose bodies, and the square footage becomes more expensive,” he said. If that is the case, said commission member David Berger, the developer might need to look at reducing the square footage of the buildings to decrease the intensity of the development on the site. “It’s a development that’s intensively

using the site,” Berger said. “I’d be looking for something better than that.” The developers did not ask the planning commission for a vote on their proposal. They said they plan to use the feedback garnered from members to improve plans to bring back before the city. Overall, commission members said, work done by Casto and the Daimler Group in the city has been successful, and they would like to see collaboration with the companies to develop that parcel. “You’ve always developed a good product for us. Hopefully, we can work through some of these issues,” said planning commission chairman Gerald Domanik. Ghidotti said the Daimler Group has no

other space available to it in Westerville right now, and following the success of other Westerville office developments, he said, the company would like to remain in the market. “We don’t want to be done in Westerville, and I hope you want us to remain in Westerville,” he said. Ghidotti said he also realizes that standards are high for development on the prominent corner, which sits across from the OhioHealth Westerville Campus. “We owe you something fantastic at that corner,” he said. “It is a gateway. We know it’s an important gateway.” jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

City, ODOT work to keep traffic moving Continued from page A1 closely monitoring traffic in the area, Banbury said, to see how traffic signala could be retimed to help move traffic more smoothly. That continues to be an issue as road and lane closures change through the construction project. Burton said ODOT works hard to communicate with motorists on I-270, posting signs warning of potential backup at the ramps to Westerville Road. She said the department also communicates with residents and businesses in the area to make sure they’re aware of new lane and road closures so they can adjust their driving accordingly. “We try to make sure we noti-

PLANNING Continued from page A1 quest. “That, I think, would defeat the purpose of having the median,” Koorn said. “If we give you (a break in the median), then we’ll have to give the next guy a cut and the next guy. Then we might as well not have a median.” Commission member David Berger said traffic already backs up on Schrock Road as drivers attempt to turn left into businesses, and the median is designed to help alleviate that. “It’s just too close (to the intersection of South State Street and Schrock Road), and it’s too disruptive to what’s going on on that section of Schrock Road,” he said. The commission also asked that Huntington enclose the rounded wall that would face South State and Schrock and included an enclosure as a condition of its approval. Without an enclosure, the backside of the rounded wall would be very visible from other parts of town and detract from the aesthetics of the building, commission members said. “This is a prominent corner, and I’m sure that’s why you like it. You can see it from Uptown Westerville, and you can see it coming up the road,” Fosselman said. The commission voted 6-0 to conditionally approve the new bank. Commission member Brian Szuch was absent. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

fy people and give them quite a bit of notice that there’s closures and also provide them with alternate routes or detours so they can get around the area as best as possible,” Burton said. Burton and Banbury said the state and Westerville have worked to make sure added law enforcement is in the area to help in tricky traffic situations, if needed, and to encourage motorists to drive safely and follow traffic laws in the area. Despite the backup, Banbury and Burton said they’re not aware of any increase in accidents in the area with the construction. With the precautions the city and state have taken, Banbury said she knows the area is still a

headache for motorists. The good news, she said, is that traffic seems to be easing as motorists seek alternate routes to avoid the area, and the part of construction most likely to impact traffic should be easing. ODOT also is looking to add a right turn lane at I-270, which Banbury said she expects to improve traffic flow. “I believe there’s less traffic there. I think more people are finding other ways to get there,” Banbury said. “I think it will get better.” Burton urges frustrated motorists to keep in mind the bigger picture: That the construction will lead to a safer, less congested roadway in the future.

“It is a construction zone, but while it is frustrating and it is inconvenient, it will be better when it’s finished,” she said. “It’s hard to see that when you’re driving in it.”

Students use summer break to make a difference ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Sixty members of Central College Presbyterian Church took a break from their summer vacation to help make a difference for others. The missions team, comprising 46 students and 14 adults, headed to the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation in Sisseton, S.D., from July 16 to 23. They concentrated on light construction work in the community, including painting, cleaning and building a wheelchair ramp to a church. “The unemployment rate in the community is 59 percent, so there is some significant poverty there. We did the best we could in the community to spruce it up,” said Jason Loehr, director of youth ministry for the church. The missions team also ran a day camp at a local school, playing games with children, and coordinated a vacation Bible school program in a local park for 20 to 25 children, providing them with a Bible lesson, songs, crafts and play time. “It was a neat experience. The children there are very loving,” Loehr said. It was some of those children who made the biggest impression on Brandon Shirey, a 17-year-old Westerville Central High School senior who was on his third sum-

mer mission trip with the church. Early in the week, Shirey met and played with two children at the day camp. On the final day of the trip, the team painted a barn at the home where the two children live. The children, brother and sister, remembered Shirey and spent much of the day playing with him. “What were the odds that these kids would be there? I had to balance working on the house and playing with these kids,” he said. At the end of the day, it was difficult to part with them, he said. As the team left the home, Shirey said, the children stood there, waving goodbye and crying. “They just did not want to leave me, and I didn’t really want to leave them,” he said. “It was sad, but that was the most impactful moment.” Loehr said he believes many of the students on the trip learned a lot about poverty and how fortunate they are, compared to living on the reservation. “There were definitely things that were different, and we just want the kids to note that,” Loehr said. “Just the poverty was something that the kids hadn’t experienced before. We saw little kids, maybe 4, 5, 6 (years old), just wandering around.” Justin Mills, a 15-year-old Westerville Central sophomore, said he learned to take less for granted while on the trip, which

was the second one he has taken with the church. “We take a lot of things for granted, like our parents just being nice to us or the air conditioning that we have,” he said. “We went to this place where everyone is miserable and it’s hard to get by. It’s kind of an eye opener. It made me grateful for all the things we have and don’t realize.” As the teens rose to the occasion and worked in extreme heat, with heat indexes topping 110 degrees, Loehr said, he hoped they would learn what a difference they could make in others’ lives. “There was a lot in the community that we could help with and a lot that we could learn,” Loehr said. “When there’s a need, they can rise to meet it. I think there were all sorts of things to do to serve this week and go above and beyond.” Shirey said it was inspiring to watch his peers work to serve others and that he was left with a feeling that the trip was a week well-spent. “(Mission trips) get me out of my house and out of my comfort zone. You get down and dirty, and I really like that,” he said. “It’s nice to have a feeling of fulfillment and accomplishment at the end of the week. When you go home, you know you did something right.” jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Letter

City workers lauded for storm cleanup To the editor: I believe in credit where credit is due. The night of Saturday, July 23, a major storm came through Westerville. At about 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, a large branch on a tree adjoining the sidewalk was broken off and fell across the street, blocking passage. Considering this a potentially dangerous situation, I immediately called the Westerville emergency number and reported it. We then went to bed. At about 3 a.m., I woke up and looked out the window. The branch had been moved onto the side-

walk. I don’t know at what time, because whatever noise they made didn’t awaken me. Back to sleep. At 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, I was awakened by some noise out front. A city crew was feeding the branch into a chipper and cleaning up the remaining scraps. By 5:45 a.m., the road was completely clear. This is a real example of our tax dollars at work. My appreciation and thanks to Westerville and its services.

As it were

Early ‘lady journalist’ was a newsroom-savvy editor There are still a few places in American life where all of the work is done by people of one gender — modeling men’s or women’s clothing comes to mind — but there are not many. Most of the professions, trades and occupations in our society are practiced by women as well as men. ED This is not to LENTZ say that women are always treated the same in these lines of work. It is not too hard to find professions where women are still paid less than men. Why that might be the case, I will leave to writers about the current scene considerably wiser than I. Suffice to say, 100 years ago there were not all that many women working in the skilled professions outside the home. One of them was Elise Fitch Hinman. And while one might make the case that the kind of work she did was still in the throes of becoming a profession, no one ever said that Elise Fitch Hinman was not very good at what she did. And what she did was write professionally for a local newspaper in Columbus. To appreciate how remarkable this was at the time, we should probably take a quick look at the “newspaper trade” of a century ago. At the turn of the twentieth century, there was no radio, no television and the movies were still machines vaguely resembling an ATM into which one put a nickel to see flickering images of people doing presumably interesting things. Hence the name, nickelodeon. Most people got most of their news from newspapers. In Columbus in 1900, there were several to choose from. The town of more than 125,000 people had several daily papers and a number of weeklies as well. Most papers in that era professed a pronounced political viewpoint — in their news pages as well as their editorials. The Ohio State Journal was the official voice of the Ohio Republican Party. For many years, the old Ohio Statesman had done the same thing for the Democrats. It was gone by 1900. By that time, what would become the Columbus Press-Post was trying to be the Democratic paper. In the midst of these partisan struggles were, among other papers, the Columbus Dispatch and the Columbus Citizen. The newspaper trade was a tough business. Whole bundles of newspaper to be sold on one corner or another were sometimes

stolen. Paperboys from one paper often literally fought for a lucrative corner with Courtesy of Columbus paper boys Metropolitan Library from anElise Fitch Hinman other paper. And recirca 1911 porters — a rather hard-living crew — sometimes fought with their rivals from other papers with fists rather than words. The high point, or low point, depending on one’s point of view, of these conflicts had come in 1888 when the two Elliot brothers marched up High Street from the office of their newspaper and shot dead the editor of a competing paper in broad daylight. The brothers went to jail, but the incident reminded people how seriously newspaper people took their jobs. Into the midst of all of this came Elise Fitch Hinman. Born in 1863, Elise Hinman was almost 35 in 1898. Educated, literate and frankly a bit bored, she came from an old Columbus family and was looking for something to do. In 1898, she found it. Writing in 1911, she remembered her early career. “In the autumn of 1898, it became evident that a woman editor was needed on the staff of the Ohio State Journal, and the writer was invited to take that responsible position, with duties of the most varied description including many which have since been specialized into separate departments. Having the usual feminine distaste for monotony, I had no complaint to make of assignments which covered art exhibitions, concerts, lectures…and all organizations for the women, of the women, by the women, for the women.

“The Federation of Women’s Clubs moved upon Ohio just then, and a skillful and never tiring promoter of that body lived in Columbus, who cajoled, coerced and compelled nearly every woman who could read and write into clubs of one sort or another, all of whose meetings must be announced aforehand and praised afterwards. “A very successful feature of the woman’s page was a daily menu, compiled from recipes signed by well-known Columbus women; a daily fashion plate appeared (against the remonstrance of this particular woman, who thought it beneath the dignity of the Journal). Also, for some inscrutable reason, marriage licenses and burial permits were printed in her department. “Mr. Mosgrove was the editor under whom I worked, and I extend many thanks for his clear intent and definite directions as to newspaper technicalities…” Ms. Hinman went on to describe her days in the newsroom. “Newspaper work taught me how to boil down and condense in a way that has proved invaluable when I have been asked to aid in correcting and revising a manuscript for publication. “Never have I forgotten the constant injunction, ‘Be brief, be brief, and evermore be brief.’ “As the only woman in the office, I learned to sharpen my own pencils, to suppress sarcasm, to cultivate humor, to dress with neatness and severity, to omit slang from my vocabulary and not to mind tobacco smoke. Elise Fitch Hinman was one of the first woman journalists in the capital city. And she remains one of the best.

Westerville explores chicken keeping By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Residents chirping for city approval of backyard chicken keeping could see some movement on the issue in the coming year. Spurred by an increase in residents asking about legalizing chicken keeping, the Westerville planning department has constructed a draft ordinance that would allow for and regulate the backyard agricultural use. Existing city code allows for chicken keeping and other agricultural uses on lots that are 3 acres or larger and that are within areas zoned rural residential. Staff members presented the plan to city council during a June work session, and they continue to explore the issue by looking at other cities to see what ordinances have been established and whether cities that allow backyard chickens field

complaints or face problems because of them, city planner Lisa LaMantia said. The issue is not at the forefront of the planning staff’s work, though, she said. “It seemed like we were getting more and more calls, and currently, they’re not permitted, so we felt like maybe this was something we need to look into,” LaMantia said. “We’ve been picking up things as we go along, as we see other communities deal with this issue, kind of absorbing what their approach is, looking at news articles.” Urban and suburban chicken keeping has been in the local news recently, with Bexley’s city council voting to allow chicken keeping in December and Reynoldsburg’s city council rejecting the issue in June. The draft code created by the planning department would require a permit, which would be issued following inspection of

where the chickens would be kept. It also would limit chickens to five per household and prohibit keeping roosters. The chickens would be required to be kept in an enclosure, and noise and smell would not be permitted to bother surrounding property owners. Owners would not be permitted to sell chicken meat or eggs. LaMantia said staff members could present code language to council for approval within the next year, depending on what other work the department has to complete. “It really just depends on what other things come before us,” she said. LaMantia’s staff report emphasizes that the city has heard only from residents eager to keep chickens and not from any opposition, making it difficult to gauge the majority opinion on the issue. Her report also said staff members don’t recommend approval or disapproval of any

ordinance regarding chicken keeping. Regardless, supporters of backyard chicken keeping said they are happy to see that the issue is being considered. “I thought it was a good sign, and it speaks well to our city council that they asked the planning department to look into this and do the research,” said Mark Passerrello, founder of the Westerville Area Chicken Keepers Society. The group has 25 members on Facebook and a core group of supporters who are working to raise awareness about backyard chicken keeping. Although the group is small, Passerrello said, its members are working to inform residents about chicken keeping, pointing out that it doesn’t take much space, it’s allowed in similar communities without problems and it doesn’t create nuisance noise or smell. “A lot of people aren’t familiar with

this idea, of keeping a few chickens in your backyard,” he said. “It takes up as much space as a backyard vegetable garden. You can think about it in the way of ‘I’m growing eggs the same way I would grow tomatoes or sweet peppers.’” Passerrello said he believes the majority of residents likely wouldn’t care about the issue, providing it wouldn’t affect them. Others, however, are eager to keep chickens in their backyards and would like to work with city staff and council to make that legal, he said. “It’s not Walmart; it’s not development; it’s not a big thing, but there are some families in Westerville that would like to have their own chickens,” he said. “We want to work with council. We don’t want to approach this in an adversarial way. … I’m hoping that they’re not thinking that this would just fade away and they won’t have to deal with it.”

New frozen yogurt store comes to Westerville Plaza Continued from page A1 consciousness,” she said. “It’s not a new concept, but what makes Josie’s different is the nutritional information.” The family also has enjoyed getting involved with a relatively new company, Lisa Jeffries said. The Las Vegas-based franchise currently has seven shops, with plans to open 142 stores over the next five years. “It’s nice to get in on the ground level of the company,” she said. The family chose the Westerville location after looking at several shopping centers around central Ohio, Randy Sabo said. They chose Westerville Plaza because the recently renovated

Neighbors in the news Ricevuto receives Otterbein alumni award The Otterbein University Alumni Association awarded Guido T. Ricevuto of Westerville the Honorary Alumnus Award at Otterbein’s Alumni Weekend. The Honorary Alumni Award was created in 1950 for the purpose of recognizing and honoring those individuals who, though not graduates of Otterbein, have demonstrated outstanding interest, commitment and involvement in its life and activities. Described as a coach, mentor and friend to more than 100 Otterbein track and field athletes, Guido Ricevuto only intended to coach at Otterbein for a couple of years. He retired from Otterbein 27 years later, yet his accumulative coaching career grade school, high school, college and Olympians spans to 50 years this year.

Ricevuto attended Texas A&M and Franklin University and worked 32 years at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety Inspection Services. After work, he would travel to Otterbein. He arranged for college students Guido Ricevuto to train with Olympians Dwight Stone, Randy Barnes, John Powell and Joe Greene. Ricevuto coached more than 1.000 Otterbein athletes in shot put, discus, javelin, pole vault, high jump, long jump, triple jump, hurdle events, all-men decathlon and women heptathlon. He helped guide 46 conference champions, 48 NCAA national qualifiers, 11 All-Americans and one national champion in Otterbein Athletic Hall of Fame: Elaine Gonya, a twotime national champion in the heptathlon.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen A CHECK ON YOUR CHILD’S HEARING While parents can usually be counted upon to take their children for regular physicals, dental check-ups, and even eye exams, annual hearing checks are not on everyone’s list of pediatric exams. The fact is, however, that children need regular hearing tests to identify any hearing concerns before they lead to problems. With this in mind, the American Speech-LanguageHearing Association recommends that hearing tests should be performed prior to children starting school. Once children enter kindergarten, they should have annual hearing tests right through third grade. After that, the tests should be repeated when children are in the seventh and eleventh grades. A hearing test should also be prompted by concerns about a child’s language, speech, learning, or hearing capabilities. A child with undetected hearing loss may not be able to develop normal speech and language or acquire the cognitive abilities needed for learning. Children whose hearing loss is not identified until 2 or 3 years of age may suffer from permanent impairment of speech, language, and learning. If you are concerned about your child’s hearing, please call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS today at 614-654-4309. We are located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

Football

Coaches face ‘delicate balance’ with scrimmages By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

On the way to its first losing season in 12 years last fall, an already young and undersized Ready High School football team was hindered further when it lost an expected two-way starter to a broken leg. The fact that Christian Knapper went down on the second play of the Silver Knights’ final preseason scrimmage to end his senior season virtually before it started was all the more painful. The 2011 preseason gets under way

Tuesday, Aug. 9, with a series of matchups that includes Grove City traveling to Upper Arlington and Gahanna playing host to Olentangy Liberty. From Aug. 9-20, coaches and players will compete in various scrimmages throughout central Ohio in preparation for the coming season. They’ll be crossing their fingers that they won’t face a similar situation to what the Silver Knights and Knapper did last fall. “Injuries like that usually are freak accidents where somebody twists somebody or gets pretzeled underneath a

pile,” Ready coach Larry Wolf said. “(Knapper’s injury was) where the kid tried to stop and cut. Most of the time freak injuries are a total accident where there’s no rhyme or reason to them. Our kids are well-conditioned and wellprepared and we just tell them to go out and play hard.” After three seasons in which his team stayed mostly healthy over the course of each season, DeSales coach Ryan Wiggins watched last year as several key regular-season injuries, including one to running back Warren Ball that lingered much of the fall, hindered his

team’s success. Like Wolf, however, Wiggins isn’t planning to keep his players from giving their best effort just to try to keep them from getting injured, and that includes when they’re competing in a preseason scrimmage. “It’s a delicate balance,” Wiggins said. “It always bothers me when a kid gets hurt in practice, but you’ve got to prepare physically. You’re trying to be smart when it’s your own guys, but when you play a different-colored jersey, you’ve just got to play. Usually when injuries occur they are freak things

and you can’t worry about them.” Most of central Ohio’s teams are competing in two scrimmages, although a few will play two scrimmages from Aug. 9-16 and a third that the OHSAA deems a “jamboree” scrimmage from Aug. 18-20. Because the OHSAA requires all schools to pay $250 to its Catastrophic Insurance Fund if they choose to compete in a third preseason game, schools may charge admission to the jamboree. See FOOTBALL, page B3

Girls Basketball

Central’s Etgen resigns as coach By JORDAN LaBATTE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Doug Etgen has resigned as Westerville Central High School girls basketball coach to pursue another career opportunity. Etgen, who also was a teacher at Central, coached the Warhawks the past three seasons, compiling a 20-43 record. He left both positions to become the Associate Director of School Finance and Government Programs for the Columbus Diocese. “Obviously, leaving Central was tough and just leaving coaching in general,” Etgen said. “I had seven seniors last year and a good group of kids, so it was a good group to go out with. It was tough, but it was a good time for me to do so.” Pending school board approval, former Gilead Christian girls coach Jamiya Pride will succeed Etgen, athletics director Andy Ey said. Etgen was an assistant with the Central boys basketball team during the 2007-08 season before replacing Andy Jados as girls coach prior to the 2008-09 season. Etgen’s coaching career also included four seasons as coach of the Marion Catholic boys basketball team, two seasons as coach of the Delphos St. John’s boys basketball team and one season as an assistant with the Hilliard Darby boys basketball team. “Doug did a really nice job and is a great guy,” Ey said. “He worked at it hard and did a lot of really good things for us. I am glad he got that position for himself.” Last season, the Central girls team finished 10-12 overall and 7-7 in the OCC-Cardinal Division, tying Dublin Jerome for fourth behind champion Olentangy (12-2), Dublin Scioto (10-4) and Westerville North (9-5), and ahead of Westerville South (5-9), Marysville (3-11) and Olentangy Liberty (311). The Warhawks beat Briggs 5639 in the first round of the Division I district tournament before losing to seventh-seeded Gahanna 44-15 in the second round. “It’s more than big wins or loses,” Etgen said. “It’s relationships you have with the kids and the relationships you have with the people you work with, whether it’s assistant coaches or the athletic director, principles and the people in the schools.” Jados also stepped down as Warhawks coach after three seasons. In his final year, Central produced its best season, finishing 17-6 overall, going 8-2 in the OCC-Central to finish second to Pickerington North (10-0) and reaching a district semifinal before losing to top-seeded Dublin Coffman 53-29. “I guess the only thing I am disappointed with Doug having to leave is just adding to the disappointment of hurting the consistency need,” Ey said. “You got to have something you can bank on every year and build on tradition, build up expectations, commitment and all those other things. “Hopefully (Pride) comes in, he’ll be able to commit to being here a longer time and do all the things it takes to build a program.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Ryan Wilson won three events — the long jump, 100-meter hurdles and 300 hurdles — in the 1998 Division I state meet, scoring all of Westerville North’s points to secure a share of the state title with Brunswick. The 1999 North graduate advanced to state in four events each of his four seasons, scoring in 14 of the events.

Even before Ryan Wilson entered high school, his mother, Cynthia, got a glimpse of the kind of competitor who was emerging under her roof. “He might have been 12 or 13 years old, and he told me, ‘I’m going to go to the state track meet all four years in four events,” his mother said. “That’s exactly what he would do, and he scored in 14 of those 16 events.” Perhaps his greatest feat as a

Westerville North junior lived up to his own high expectations in many aspects, winning the long jump (23 feet, 1 inch) on the first day of competition and coming back on day two with titles in the 110-meter hurdles (13.95 seconds) and 300 hurdles (37.1). Even with a weekend full of accomplishments, there was a disappointment that is just as memorable to Wilson: He had to settle for seventh place in the 200.

Columbus Academy, he took second in the long jump, was fifth in the 110 hurdles and ran the anchor leg of the winning 1,600 relay in the Division III state meet. That performance followed a boys soccer season in which he helped the Vikings win the 1995 Division II state title. Wilson transferred to Westerville North midway through his sophomore season and immediately became a standout at the Division I track level. In the See WILSON, page B3

Wrestling

North champs making marks in college By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers Three past state champions from the Westerville North High School wrestling program are attempting to leave their mark on the Division I college level. Jesse Dong is preparing for his senior season at Virginia Tech, Chris Kline will be a redshirt junior at Ohio University and Josh Demas will be a redshirt freshman at Ohio State. Dong (152 pounds) and Kline (160) each capped successful careers at North by winning the program’s first state titles in 2008 at the DiJosh Demas vision I meet. Demas, who transferred from Division III Marion Pleasant following his freshman year, was a two-time state champion in Division I, winning at 152 in 2009 and 171 in 2010. “We expected all of them to do well, but Jesse has really put in the time,” North coach David Grant said. “He’s done the best, and we expect great things from Josh.

But after the Darts swept the junior and senior titles at the Greater Columbus Swim League championships July 22-26 at the Plain Township pool, she said the early morning practices paid off. “I get up early and do this because I love doing it,” said Glesenkamp, who competed in the girls 11-12 age group. “Sometimes I have to miss doing things with my other school friends, but I think getting the championship made it all worth it.” The Darts won the combined championship with a total of 3,121.5 points, finishing ahead of the Northwest Tigersharks (2,388.5), the Highland Otters (2,123.5), the Worthington Waves (1,979.5), the Westerville JC Poolcats (1,687.5), Olympic (1,632), the Plain Township Gators (1,180.5) and the Gahanna Sea Lions (960). Delaware captured its third consecutive junior title in the 6and-under, 7-8 and 9-10 age groups, scoring 1,357 points to finish ahead of Olympic (854.5), Highland (825.5), Westerville (799.5), Worthington (737.5), Northwest (720.5), Plain Township (580.5) and Gahanna (397). The Darts won the senior division, which consisted of the 11-12, 13-14 and 15-18 age groups, for the first time since 2004. Delaware compiled 1,764.5 points to finish ahead of Northwest (1,668), Highland (1,298), Worthington (1,242), Westerville (888), Olympic (777.5), Plain Township (600) and Gahanna (563). “This is the first time in our 33 years both the juniors and the seniors won the league meet,” said Darts coach Bill Rietz, who also coaches the Delaware Hayes High School swimming and diving teams. “I told the kids, ‘Just because we won all (five of) the dual meets doesn’t mean we’re going to win the whole ball of wax.’” Glesenkamp seemed to take Rietz’s message to heart, as she placed first in the 50-meter backstroke (33.68 seconds), 50 freestyle (29.58) and 100 individual medley (1:13.65) and teamed with Ally Braun, Kristen Puthoff and Marissa Sulek to win the 200 free relay (2:06.28). All four times were team records. Others winners for Delaware in the senior division were Regan Dewitt in the 50 back (32.45) and Dewitt, Kara Miller, Allyson Fomich and Samantha Curtin in the 200 medley relay (2:12.44) and 200 free relay (1:56.62) in girls 13-14, Remy Curtin in the 50 breaststroke (41.04) and Curtin, Craig Klumpp, Mitchell Garnett and Connor Derstine in the 200 medley relay (2:37.24) in boys 11-12, Brittany Puthoff in the 100 breast (1:16.77) in girls 15-18 and Colby Brothers, Skyler Pollock, Keanan Fomich and Andrew Davis in the 200 medley relay (2:10.58) and 200 free relay (1:50.69) in boys 13-14. “It’s a tribute to the kids. They are down at the pool at 7 a.m. while most of their buddies are still in bed,” Rietz said. “This must be something they enjoy. I know they enjoyed it quite a bit last night.” Winners for Northwest in the 15-18 age group were Joey Long in the 100 free (meet-record 53.54) and 100 breast (1:09.54), the 200 free relay of Long, Jordan Krumpleman, Alex Chin and Michael Robinson in the 200 free

who had the best style for college, it was Chris because of his strength and he stays in position. In high school, he wrestled like a college wrestler. He took his chances when he was ready and he was patient.” Of the three, Dong has had the most success on the collegiate level. “Jesse is one of the leaders of this team and is a huge part of the surge of Virginia Tech wrestling these past three seasons,” coach Kevin Dresser said. “Jesse’s work ethic is extraordinary.” As a freshman, Dong qualified for the NCAA championships after placing second at 157 in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Dong was 0-2 at the NCAA meet to finish 27-11 overall. Dong spent most of his sophomore season ranked in the top 10 in the country and finished with a 32-4 record. He was 2-2 at the NCAA championships after winning the ACC title at 157. Last season, Dong won his second ACC title at 157 and was the No. 5 seed at the NCAA championships, finishing 2-2. With depth in the middle weights, Dong was redshirted to start the season but began wrestling in January. He was 203 for the Hokies and 14-1 as an unattached wrestler competing in open tournaments. “It was tough for me to watch my teammates wrestle and go to opens every weekend and not really do anything for the team,” Dong said. He enters his final season with hopes of earning All-American recognition. The top eight finishers in each weight class receive the award. “Seventy-nine and 18 (in three seasons) is actually a really good college record, but the record doesn’t really mean anything. I

expect to win. It all depends on what happens in March,” said Dong, who credits his experience at North as a key to his success. “A lot of my success is because of Virginia Tech. I have great coaches there and it’s a great atmosphere, but obviously I had to start with a good base,” Dong said. “My high school success and getting me ready for the college level, I pay a tribute to Westerville North 100 percent.” Kline’s college career has been hampered by a shoulder injury suffered late in his freshman season. He finished 9-10 overall as a freshman and was redshirted his sophomore season because of the injury. Kline returned this past season. He was 0-2 at the MidAmerican Conference championships on March 5. “Chris has made some progress since high school,” Ohio coach Joel Greenlee said. “I don’t think he’s quite reached his potential yet, but we’re looking forward to him getting to his potential.” Demas was redshirted his freshman year at Ohio State after developing mononucleosis before the start of the season. He returned to the mat in January and finished 7-2 wrestling unattached in open tournaments. Demas is expected to rejoin the team this season and com-

pete at 157. He credits his success at North for getting him ready to compete in college. “I have to give credit to my past, so I’m just going to build on what they taught me at North and hope for the best,” Demas said. Ohio State coach Tom Ryan believes Demas has the potential to be a solid contributor. “Josh is a great kid,” Ryan said. “He’s very respectful. His passion to learn and his overall talent are his gifts. We just have to get him a little grittier. That’s the main challenge for him, dealing with the day in and day out hard training.” When Virginia Tech visits Ohio State on Nov. 20, the match could feature Dong taking on Demas at 157. They trained together at North during Dong’s senior season. “I look forward to every match,” Dong said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s friends or not. It doesn’t matter who is standing out there on the mat in front of me. You can walk off the mat, you can be friends, you can talk before, you can talk after, but when you’re out there it’s a seven-minute battle and I’m sure (Demas) feels the same way.” Grant said if Dong and Demas meet on the mat, he will be a proud but impartial observer. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Ryan Wilson stands tall on the awards podium after winning the 110-meter hurdles at the Division I state meet in 1998.

WILSON Continued from page B1 1997 state meet, he took fourth in the long jump, fourth in the 110 hurdles and fourth in the 300 hurdles and helped the 1,600 relay finish third. In 1998, during the final state track meet held at Ohio Stadium, he was one of five North athletes competing but the only one who scored. The 3,200 relay of Nathan Aichele, Jared Conley, Jason Conley and Tyler Pensyl also represented the Warriors but didn’t place. In 1999 at Welcome Stadium in Dayton, Wilson defended his titles in the 110 hurdles (13.7) and 300 hurdles (36.46) and finished third in the long jump (237 1/4). He also competed in the 1,600 relay that failed to place. “It was amazing, watching Ryan perform the way that he did,” said Pensyl, who went on to run for Denison University and has been working for the law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease as an associate for five years. “He rose to the occasion. We only lost one meet all year, and we had a number of outstanding individuals. It really felt like a team championship and I thought it was a reflection of everything that we did that year.” According to Bob Cavin, who was North’s coach in 1998 and currently serves as an assistant football and track coach at New Albany, a now-famous T-shirt was produced after the first day of the state meet. On the front, the shirt read, “Get outta my way. I’m on Ryan Wilson’s team.” On the back, it read, “I made it to the state meet, too.” “It was a great team accomplishment and Ryan was just the leader,” Cavin said. “For Ryan to score all of our points, that was just the icing on the cake.” “Even though I happened to score all of the points, that was one of the best teams we’ve ever had,” Wilson said. “Even though it’s an individual sport, I still have a lot of friends from that team. That was the last meet in ‘The Horseshoe,’ and I’m really proud I was able to be a part of people sending the track out in style.” Wilson comes from a family of track athletes. His brother, Glen, was a three-time state meet competitor for Academy who later competed in track for Yale. His mother coached track in the 1980s and early 1990s, making stops at Columbus Central, Centennial and Academy, and remains a teacher at Academy. After Wilson graduated from North, he competed for the Uni-

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. 3-10. Check back next week for No. 1 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

NOS. 3-10: 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 touchdowns 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 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw 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 state-ranked 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. 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. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. 4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 4-1 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd. 3. GREG AVERY, Newark boys basketball (March 15, 2008) — Avery led the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory over Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game. The 6-3 senior forward tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals as the Wildcats captured their first state title since 1943. Avery made third-team all-state his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. He became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 points, finishing with 1,131 career points.

Schools announce coaching vacancies

Olentangy Orange opens its scrimmage schedule Aug. 13 against visiting Kings Mills Kings and plays host to Westland on Aug. 16 before playing host to Reynoldsburg on Aug. 19 in a jamboree. According to Pioneers coach Brian Cross, the scrimmage against Westland will be a “passing scrimmage.” Although both teams will have 11 players on the field unlike in the 7-on-7 passing tournaments during the summer, at least seven of every 11 plays will be passes. Cross considers it to be a sign of the times as teams continue to develop more complex passing offenses. Westland’s new coach, Steve White, was an assistant under Cross when the two were on the same coaching staff at Grove City. “I don’t know what other people are doing, but having two scrimmages when we tackle and run the ball is enough,” Cross said. “This gives us a chance to have the defense see more passing, and we’ll mix in a few draw plays.” While some teams prefer to play a neighborhood school that could bring unique intensity during their scrimmage opener, others will enter their first scrimmage with an eye on keeping it simple. Perennial playoff contender Eastmoor Academy and defending Division IV state champion Hartley will meet in the opening scrimmage for both teams Aug. 13 at Hartley. The matchup of East-side schools is one that Warriors coach Jim Miranda looks forward to because of the toughness that his team will get to face as it prepares for the coming season. “Hartley’s got a good, sound program with well-coached kids,” Miranda said. “(Hawks
