Group presses for school spending cuts Taxpayers for Westerville Schools urges 15-percent, across-the-board employee pay cut By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Westerville residents have formed a new group to lobby the Westerville City School District for spending cuts and lower taxes. Taxpayers for Westerville Schools, which is backed by the Westerville Tea Party, the Westerville 9.12 Project, Levy-
Facts.com and Common Sense for Westerville Schools, presented a cost-cutting plan to the Westerville school board at its June 27 meeting. The largest component of the group’s plan called for cutting all employees’pay by 15 percent, which the group said would bring salaries in line with private-sector salaries and would save the district more than $20 million a year.
The plan also calls for adopting the same style of health care benefits given to New Albany school employees, cutting the practice of paying pension contributions for administrators, having employees pay half of their dental insurance premiums, reducing department and building budgets and reducing English-as-aSecond-Language outreach efforts. Those measures, based on the group’s
figures, would save the district more than $6.2 million in the next school year. The group also recommended freezing all expenditures through fiscal year 2015. “We just kept digging down deeper, and we came to the conclusion that we need to step up as taxpayers and try to talk to the school board about cutting their expenses,” said Mike Jones, Taxpayers
for Westerville Schools spokesman. “We need somebody that’s going to go out there and challenge the school board and taxpayers.” Jones said he’s been working with representatives of LevyFacts.com for about a year, but that group focuses solely on posting district financial information onSee TAXPAYERS GROUP, page A6

The expansion includes the addition of a three-tier parking garage, a new two-story main entrance that will reorient the hospital toward Schrock Road, a four-story patient tower and the expansion of the hospital’s foodservice area and energy plant. The expansion will allow for more intense cardiovascular serv-

Artists and their goods will line the paths of Heritage Park, 60 N. Cleveland Ave., and live music will fill the air July 9 and 10 for the 37th annual Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce Music and Arts Festival. This year’s festival will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. July 9 and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 10. There is a $1 admission charge for anyone older than 16. The festival, which attracted 18,000 people last year, will fea-
ture more than 130 artists. Local artists will once again be featured in the “Westerville Walkway” area. “We’ve got some very popular returning vendors, some new vendors with some exciting arts and crafts to share, and we’re just going to keep building on the excitement and fun of past years,” said Lindsay Brown, Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce events coordinator.

By MEREDITH HEAGNEY The Columbus Dispatch The congregation of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church celebrated its new church last week with pomp, ceremony and reverence. The lengthy dedication ceremony on June 29 included a Mass led by Bishop Frederick F. Campbell of the Diocese of Columbus. Construction of the new church began in February 2010 as part of a larger, sevenyear project that includes an activity center and athletic fields and costs an estimated
$21.5 million. Parishioners have pledged nearly $14 million — $11million of which has been received — and the Catholic Diocese of Columbus will contribute a loan for about $5 million. The rest of the money comes from parish reserves. The church has floors made of limestone from Israel, solid red-oak pews and a 90foot-tall ceiling painted to resemble the heavens. As they admire their new church, which seats 1,400, members can take satisfaction in knowing they pulled off a rare feat: Building a new church during a recession.
With tightened budgets and crumbling investments, many churches have found construction projects to be an impossible luxury. Members have less money to donate, and loans are harder to secure. Westerville was not hit as hard as some other places by the bad economy, said the Rev. Charlie Klinger, pastor, though some of the church’s 4,400 families are certainly struggling. On the flip side, one family donated $500,000 as a match challenge to the congregation. See ST. PAUL, page A2

Muha wins national Jefferson Award By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
‘History Exhumed!’
By Eric George/ThisWeek
Ilene Evans portrays Harriet Tubman as part of the Westerville Visitors & Convention Bureau’s “History Exhumed!” event July 3 at Heritage Park. The event, part of the city’s commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, included live entertainment, concessions, old-fashioned games for children and information on Civil War history. “History Exhumed!” was part of the Ohio Humanities Council’s Ohio Chautauqua, a five-day adult-education event that combines living history, music and entertainment, education, theater and audience interaction.

Along with famous people such as Marlo Thomas and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Westerville resident Rachel Muha was recognized in Washington, D.C., June 21 for her community service. Muha was one of 18 people honored with a Jefferson Award, described as the “Nobel Prize for Public Service.” Specifically, she was one of five people given the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Award, meant to honor “unsung heroes.” She was one of five people honored with a central Ohio Jefferson Award in April. Muha is the founder of The Brian Muha Foundation, which provides college scholarships and runs local programs for children from underprivileged homes, including the Run the Race Club, an after-school and summer program for inner-city children; and Ready, Set, Race, a program for
children ages 3 to 5 aimed at helping them associate learning with positive attention. The foundation also oper- Rachel Muha ates Fresh Food, a program that provides the children with fresh, nutritious food. All of the work Muha does is in memory of her son, Brian, a graduate of St. Paul School and St. Charles Preparatory Academy. Brian Muha, then 19, was finishing his freshman year at Franciscan University in Steubenville in 1999 when two robbers randomly broke into his house and assaulted and murdered him and a friend. Rachel Muha publicly forgave her son’s killers, who are serving life sentences in prison. She set out to create a legacy in his name. Brian Muha was an active volunteer and gave up his scholarship
to Franciscan University so that someone who needed it more could have it. His mother, supported by her family, started The Brian Muha Foundation to honor his volunteerism and generosity. Rachel Muha said she chose to start a program for underprivileged children in the inner city because she knew her son’s killers had grown up in similar situations. The Run the Race Club began as a one-day-a-week program. One child showed up the first day the program was open, she said. The program now operates five days a week in a former Columbus recreation center in Franklinton, serving between 40 and 45 children a day. It also provides outreach, such as providing food, rent or money for utility bills, to the children’s families. The Brian Muha Foundation programs are staffed almost exclusively by volunteers and funded through donations. For more information, visit www.brianmuhafoundation.org.

ST. ANN’S Continued from page A1 Ann’s to a regional medical center.” In fact, the expansion has been dubbed Project GRACE — Growing Regional Advanced Centers of Excellence. The change to a regional medical center means offering more in-depth services to patients in Westerville and the surrounding areas, said St. Ann’s president Janet Meeks. As the hospital prepared for its building expansion, it began increasing its services about 18 months ago, expanding in cardiovascular care, oncology, orthopedics, perinatology, women’s health, breast health and spinal care, she said. In addition to allowing complete cardiovascular care with open-heart surgery capabilities, St. Ann’s hopes to be able to offer stroke care with the expansion, Meeks said. “Project GRACE really allows us to bring to full-circle that cycle of cardiovascular care,” she said. The areas of service that have expanded and that will be expanded are a direct result of community feedback about what type of care was needed, Meeks said.

She said the hospital makes a point of talking to its staff, patients and community leaders to get a sense of what the community would like to see offered at the hospital. The conversation that led to Project GRACE began about four years ago, Meeks said, and it’s exciting to see the concept come to fruition with the groundbreaking for the expansion. “It’s been almost surreal to reflect on this,” she said. “There’s something amazing about seeing this dream come true.” In addition to expanding the hospital’s services, the project is designed to create a new feel for the St. Ann’s campus, with the new main entrance emphasizing that the hospital is a faith-based facility. The 12,372-square-foot entrance will be two stories tall, with a glass facade featuring a stained-glass cross design. Inside the lobby, there will be a two-story stone fireplace with a stained-glass cross, and stained glass from the former St. Paul the Apostle Church will be used to decorate the lobby. There also will be Scripture from the Gospel of Matthew, emphasizing an often-used phrase
at St. Ann’s about going the extra mile, Meeks said. An LCD screen next to the passage will show examples of St. Ann’s employees doing just that. “There will be no doubt when you enter our front doors that this is a place of great faith,” Meeks said. The food service expansion will increase the area by three times, but Meeks said the goal is not just to increase in size but to create a place where people want to go to eat. “We don’t want this to be three times what we already have. We want this to be a dining experience,” she said. With ground broken, work will begin on the parking lot realignment and improvements, followed by construction of the three-story parking garage and then the expansion of the hospital building. The improvements are expected to be completed by late summer or early fall 2013. Once finished, the expansion will add more than 200 full-time employees to the St. Ann’s campus.
in its size and its decor. The congregation wanted a traditional church, Klinger said, with soaring, rounded arches that resemble the Romanesque style of the Middle Ages. Special details are everywhere, from the fish mosaic on the floor of the baptismal pool to the engraving of the symbol of St. Paul — a book and a sword — in the exterior columns. The mural painted behind the altar includes a vision of an ideal city that happens to have representations of the Statehouse and the LeVeque Tower. The tabernacle, the Stations
of the Cross and some of the stained glass came from closed churches in the Diocese of Cleveland, which last year lost 50 parishes. Klinger acknowledges the church could’ve been built with less expense, but felt “a great parish deserves a great church,” he said. “People wanted it, and they were willing to support it.” Support of the church’s charities, such as a soup kitchen and a recurring job fair, have only increased as the building project has progressed, he said.

“What has gotten us this far is prayer, always prayer, and the generosity of our people,” Klinger said. “And it took us seven years.” Church leaders were thrilled with the 70-percent participation rate for parishioner donations, said Helmut Naunheimer, development director. Some promised to start donating when they found jobs, he added. The old church, built in 1968, could seat 650 people, Klinger said. It will be demolished in the coming weeks.

Images from Auschwitz prompted local artist’s work By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When Susan Fagan visited Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz during a trip to Poland six years ago, she said she truly felt the impact of individual lives lost in the Holocaust. “It was one of the most overwhelming experiences I think I’ve ever had,” Fagan said. “When you say numbers like 6 million Jews and 8 million people murdered, the numbers are so huge, you can’t even imagine.” The experience led Fagan to begin creating works of art aimed at honoring the hopes and dreams of the individuals who were lost in the Holocaust. For one work, Fagan took a piece of tea-stained muslin and lettered onto it as many of the names and ages of children killed in concentration camps as she could. The names spiral on the fab-
Those works are now on display at Otterbein University as part of the exhibition, “Remembrance: Art Made at the Intersection of Horror and Hope.” The works, a mix of media including prints, photographs and assembled pieces, will be on display from June 24 through Aug. 14 in the Fisher Gallery at Roush Hall, 27 S. Grove St. The gallery is open from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. daily. Fagan said she hopes her works help others to feel the individual losses of the Holocaust as she did at Auschwitz. “Each person had a story, had friends and family, hopes and dreams, possibilities and promise,” Fagan wrote in the artist’s statement that appears with the exhibition. “There is the chance to remember that each person lost in the Holocaust had a whole life, was so much more Courtesy of Susan Fagan than the number assigned to him or her ric like smoke rising out of a cremato- in the Nazi obsession with meticulous rium. record-keeping.”
Fagan, Otterbein’s associate vice president and dean of academic services, began her art career about 10 years ago, when she began taking the freshman artmajor requirements while working at the university. “I always wanted to study art but never had the opportunity, so I never had an art class in my whole life,” she said. “I absolutely fell in love with it and ended up earning 75 credits in art here.” That allowed Fagan to apply to get a master’s degree in fine arts. She began taking part-time classes and earned her degree in 2010 from Goddard College. This exhibition is Fagan’s second solo show; she has had works displayed in several other exhibitions. Her work on the Holocaust is the largest series of pieces she has done, she said. Fagan, a grandmother of six, said her work as an artist shows how people can
continue to follow their dreams throughout their lives. “It’s really thrilling and exciting. For me, it shows that even when dreams are deferred, if you have a passion about something, you can still pursue it even later in life,” Fagan said. “I still love my job; it’s not about altering career direction. It’s about pursuing something that I’ve had in the back of my mind for many years.” Fagan said she could not have gotten to where she is as an artist today without the support of Otterbein’s art staff. “Our art department here, I owe them so much because not only did I acquire knowledge and, hopefully, some skills from there, but the professors were so supportive of my interest,” she said. “I’ve always loved school, but this has been absolutely the best part.” jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com
Ohio House approves Garland-sponsored anti-texting bill 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 of Representatives passed House Bill 99 by a vote of 88-10 last week. The legislation was co-sponsored by Rep. Nancy Garland (DNew Albany) and Rep. Rex Damschroder (R-Fremont). “This is about saving lives,” Garland said. H.B. 99 would ban entering or reading text messages on any device, including cellphones, personal digital assistants and laptop computers, while driving. It also would require driver-education courses to include instruction 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 doesn’t meet again until September. Garland said the idea for the bill came from one of her constituents in Gahanna, Sharon Montgomery. Montgomery’s husband died after complications from an accident caused by a driver who was using a cellphone. Montgomery has spoken regularly at various government meetings in effort to get municipalities to pass texting-whiledriving 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 mes-
sages 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 de-
vice that does not work manually; and people “operating a commercial truck while using a mobile data terminal that transmits and receives data.”

nibus” 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 something new 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 many 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. 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.

ning to leave town on a long journey, word was sent to the local stagecoach office and the stage stopped at ED one’s front door on the way out LENTZ 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 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 om-

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 outside, Columbus is a bit disappointing. 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 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 plan-

ARTS Continued from page A1 and approved by a festival jury. This year’s event once again will include a “heritage” section, where artists will dress in period clothing and provide demonstrations of historical crafts. Festival organizers also worked hard this year to incorporate many local bands into the entertainment lineup, Brown said; Westerville bands will be featured on the north stage. There will be live performances on two stages during the festival. “Our main stage is really jam-packed full of great bands with a wide variety of musical styles. We’re really excited about our musical entertainment this year,” Brown said. New this year is a trolley, sponsored by OhioHealth’s Westerville Medical Campus, that will transport patrons for free from the free parking at the Westerville Sports Complex, 325 N. Cleveland Ave., and the Westerville Community Center, 350 N. Cleveland Ave., to Heritage Park. “To help defray some of the frustration with the (Main Street) bridge still being closed, we have a trolley to help transport people from the sports complex to the festival and back,” Brown said. “We’re hoping to supply people with an easy way to get to the festival, and maybe a fun form of transportation that they haven’t tried before.” Another festival activity is the young artists competition. The work of artists ages 3 through 18 will be displayed in Everal Barn for judging. There also will be a silent auction in Everal Barn from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. July 9 and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 10. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

campaign. “We very firmly feel that the board is going to have to do something as far as a tax levy or an income-tax issue on the ballot, and (we need) a more unified front in being able to work against that levy,” Medors said. She said taxpayers cannot afford to see property taxes rise in this economy, and if the school board follows some of the recommendations made by Taxpayers for Westerville Schools, an increase wouldn’t be necessary. “The economy in the area just has not been improving. We can’t keep paying the tax bills that we have been paying,” Medors said. “What we’re saying is that if they would do this, there would not be a need for a levy.” Westerville Tea Party director Jim Burgess said his group had similar reasons for getting involved with Taxpayers for Westerville Schools.
line. Common Sense for Westerville Schools is a group that focuses mostly on educating the public about district finances and school funding, he said. Taxpayers for Westerville Schools will fill the gap by actively advocating for cuts in spending and reductions in taxes, Jones said. The group also brings together like-minded people and groups to work for a common cause, he said. “There are a lot of people who felt the same way we do. It’s just that nobody picked up the phone and called the other person. That’s what we did,” Jones said. Mary Medors, of Common Sense for Westerville Schools, said Taxpayers for Westerville Schools is important because it brings people together just as the Westerville City School District seems to be leaning toward starting a new levy

ThisWeekNEWS.com | ThisWeekSPORTS.com “In this group, people have felt that taxes are going up, and really, we wanted to find a solution to taxes going up,” Burgess said. “We believe any levy is too much when there are other things that can take place to control the budget.” LevyFacts.com founder Robert Edwards said the plan will keep the district financially solvent for years to come and break the current cycle of needing new levies every few years. “Something has to change. All together, we have come up with this, and we all agree that this is definitely doable; it’s fair; it’s needed,” Edwards said. He said Taxpayers for Westerville Schools would like to see the district either adopt its recommendations or come up with its own solutions while avoiding the usual threats of cutting busing and extracurricular activities. “We’re not saying that this is the silver bullet,” he said.

Williams ends Toledo tenure with WNIT title By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Jessica Williams, a 2007 Westerville North High School graduate, completed her senior season with the University of Toledo women’s basketball team on a winning note. On April 2, the Rockets defeated the University of Southern California 76-68 in the championship game of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. “It was awesome to have an ac-
complishment like that and win our final game and the last game I will play there,” said Williams, who graduated with a degree in psychology on May 8. “To win the WNIT like that, and then to graduate ... it was just amazing.” In six WNIT games, Williams averaged 9.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals while averaging 28 minutes of playing time. “The final was incredible and it was even better because it was at home (in John F. Savage Arena),” said
Williams, whose team finished 29-8 overall and won the Mid-American Conference regular-season title. “We sold it out. (Savage Arena) holds 7,300 and the recorded attendance was 7,301, so I guess we technically had a fire hazard. The fans were really into it and we couldn’t have done it without them.” Toledo coach Tricia Cullop first met Williams, a 5-foot-8 guard, after being hired nearly three years ago. “I remember J. walking into my office as a sophomore and she was kind
of unsure of herself,” said Cullop, who was named MAC Coach of the Year for the 2010-11 season. “She really has come a long way from that point. “J. played a lot of minutes for us for good reason. She was a consistent 3-point threat, and when she got on a roll, you’d better look out. Teams had to respect her at the 3-point line and that would open up our inside game and opened the driving lanes for the other guards.” Williams, who was one of two seniors for the Rockets along with post
player Melissa Goodall, finished her career tied with Goodall for most games played (131) in program history and is third in both 3-point field goals made (234) and 3-point field goals attempted (608). She also finished fourth in 3-point field goal percentage (38.5) and eighth in minutes played (3,346). “When these two seniors started, they had 14 wins (14-16 in the 200708 season) and then they helped win See WILLIAMS, page B2
Commentary
Strong mindset key for athletes Ask any athlete, at any level, about the importance of the mental side of sports and he or she will say that believing in oneself is critical to success. This week, the central Ohio high school student-athletes in my summer series talk about how self-conLARRY fidence imLARSON pacts their performance. Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Confidence is one of the most vital things to have when playing a sport. If you don’t believe in yourself then you will never reach your full potential.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “If you don’t believe in yourself, your body will do what your mind thinks, so you won’t progress. Just like my coach says, ‘Your body is stupid and it is up to your mind.’” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “I was told, ‘If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,’ and it seems to be that every time I thought that way, it happened.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “You absolutely have to be confident in yourself and in your ability to perform under pressure.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I think it is important to believe in yourself and have confidence, but never be cocky and arrogant. Teammates are the most important part in sports and without each and every teammate I would have never achieved anything.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “If you don’t think you can do it, you won’t be able to do it. If you don’t believe in your abilities, nobody else will either. You shouldn’t rely on others to build that confidence. It has to be you believing in yourself.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley football and wrestling: “One can only perform to their own expectations. If they expect highly of themselves and know they can perform highly then they will perform highly.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Self-confidence gives me comfort and makes me achieve what I want to achieve. I believe in what I do and know I can do it, which is why I trust my game 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.
Xavier University standout Ben Thomas (center), a 2007 Central graduate, was drafted by the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants in the 34th round of the MLB draft on June 6. Thomas earned Atlantic 10 Player of the Year honors for the Musketeers this season.
Baseball
Thomas’ pro career starts strong By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
As a high school freshman, Ben Thomas helped build a solid foundation for the Westerville Central baseball program during its first season in 2004. After graduating from Central in 2007, Thomas attended Xavier University, where he earned Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year this past season. Thomas’ play led to him being drafted by the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants in the 34th round (1,047th selection) of the Major League Baseball draft on June 8. “It’s always good when the team that
picks you up is the world champs from the year before,” Thomas said. “They’re a team that wants to win all the time. One of my favorite things to do is win and when I get drafted by a team that’s pretty much been winners for a bunch of years then that was really exciting.” Thomas reported to the Giants’ spring training facility in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he is playing for the franchise’s Arizona Rookie League team. Thomas got off to a hot start as a professional, batting .429 with two doubles, two home runs and eight RBI through seven games. Thomas went 4-for-5 with his first professional home run in an 8-5, 10-in-
ning win over the Los Angeles Angels’ rookie team on June 24. “I’m playing very well,” Thomas said. “I’m happy with how I’m doing. I feel like I’m seeing the ball well. It’s going really well.” Thomas is hoping for a promotion to the Class A Salem-Keizer (Ore.) Volcanoes in the Northwest League. The 6-foot-1, 240-pound first baseman is coming off a stellar senior season at Xavier. Thomas led the Musketeers in home runs with 15 and batted .350 with 42 runs, 16 doubles and 58 RBI. Thomas led the A-10 in RBI (31), home runs (10) and total bases (74) dur-

The Musketeers made their sixth consecutive appearance in the A-10 Tournament, losing to Dayton 1-0 on May 25. Winning the conference Player of the Year recognition surprised Thomas. “I wasn’t expecting it, but it was really cool to find out that all the coaches had voted for me for that,” Thomas said. “That was pretty neat.” Thomas lettered all four seasons at See THOMAS, page B2
Top Individual Performances: Nos. 6-10
Area athletes’ dominance remembered From staff reports Whether they set a state record, put together a stellar performance or accomplished a feat that hasn’t stopped wowing us, central Ohio athletes have created indelible memories for followers of high school sports. After chronicling “20 Years of Upsets” in 2009 and the “Most Dominating Teams” last summer, for our third annual summer series we set out to find the “Top Individual Performances” of the ThisWeek Community Newspapers era that began 22 years ago. Discussions were held among the staff at ThisWeek, as well as with our colleague Steve Blackledge from The Columbus Dispatch, and we arrived at a top 10 along with 10 honorable mentions. Beginning July 14, we will run a retrospective article on each of the top five performances, with one story running each week until we finish on Aug. 11 with what we consider the top individual performance. So what makes one performance stand higher than another? One key factor in the rankings dealt with the stage on
record when he won the Division I boys pole vault championship last month, but Brookhaven’s Khalilah Carpenter ranks higher because she broke the state record in the girls 100 meters and also added a title in the 200 in the 2000 state meet. Without further ado, below are Nos. 10-6 of the top individual performances of the past 22 years, with an honorable mention list in the accompanying box: Maurice Hall, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 7516 to earn the City League-Red Division title and a Division II playoff berth as the senior and future Ohio State running back rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. He had six first-half touchdowns and added scoring runs of 57 and 71 yards in the second half.

Maurice Hall (22), a 2001 Brookhaven graduate, had a game for the ages when he rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries in a 75-16 victory over Briggs in a City League-Red Division game on Oct. 27, 2000.
which it occurred. Performances that happened late in the postseason against tough opposition were given extra credit. B.J. Mullens of Canal Winchester scored 62 points during
a 2008 regular-season game, but Charles Johnson ranks ahead of that for his 57-point game that helped Watkins Memorial upset a state-ranked team in the 1995 Division II district tournament.
Also considered was whether the athlete performed spectacularly in more than one aspect during the game or meet in question. For example, Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship set a state-meet

AJGA’s Columbus Junior returns to Scarlet 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-

LaToya Turner, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final and exact revenge for a painful defeat with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. They had lost to the Grizzlies in a 1997 state semifinal. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the freethrow line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. The Tigers beat Mason 4630 the next day to earn their sixth state title. Darcy Fishback, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — The 2009 Division I state meet 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.

JAKE BLANKENSHIP, Gahanna boys track and field (June 4, 2011) — The junior cleared 17 feet in the pole vault to capture the Division I state championship. That set the state-meet record in the event and helped him win a yearlong battle with Olentangy Liberty twin brothers Joey and Chris Uhle, who took second and third, respectively. TROY BOWERS, Westerville South wrestling (March 4-6, 1999) — A broken hand sidelined him for a month of the regular season, but Bowers went on to pin three of his four opponents at state and win the Division I title at heavyweight. In the final, Bowers pinned future NFL player Alex Stepanovich of Berea in 1:03. CLAIRE DURKIN, Worthington Kilbourne girls cross country (Nov. 3, 2007) — Durkin completed a stellar prep career by winning the state championship in 17:10.5. The time set the state-meet record in Division I. MINDY HAMMOND, DeSales girls soccer (Nov. 5, 1997) — During a state semifinal against defending champion Chagrin Falls, the senior goalkeeper made a diving save to preserve a one-goal lead with 17:38 remaining. Three minutes later, she scored on a penalty kick to seal what would become a 3-0 win. JACK RAFFERTY, Dublin Coffman football (Oct. 31, 2003) — The senior quarterback who would become the district’s Player of the Year in Division I and the ThisWeek Super 25 captain threw for 152 yards and rushed for a school-record 285 yards with four touchdowns as the Shamrocks beat Marion
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

KRISTA KEIR, Westerville South girls track and field (June 6-7, 1997) — Two weeks after setting the state record in the discus (176-5), Keir threw 166-10 on June 6 to break the state-meet record. The next day, she threw 50-4 3/4 in the shot put to capture another title. WENDY LYONS, Westerville South girls tennis (Oct. 19-20, 1990) — Lyons capped a career in which she went 126-6 by losing just one set in the 1990 Division I state tournament. Her 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 win over Centerville’s Melissa Zimpfer in the final gave her a 41-0 record for the season. B.J. MULLENS, Canal Winchester boys basketball (Jan. 21, 2008) — At the Flyin’ to the Hoop Classic in Fairborn, the senior and future Ohio State and NBA player had 62 points, 24 rebounds and three blocked shots to lead the Indians to a 79-69 win over New York (N.Y.) Our Savior New American. AUSTIN STAAB, Westerville Central boys swimming (Feb. 23-24, 2007) — In his final prep meet, Staab tied the national record and won the 100 butterfly in 47.1 on Feb. 23. The next day, the Stanford recruit clocked a time of 43.93 to win the 100 freestyle. ESTABAN WEAVER, Hartley boys basketball (March 18, 1995) — The Hawks advanced to a Division III state semifinal with a 72-68 victory over Germantown Valley View, led by the play of Weaver. He scored 36 points and teamed with Matt Lowery on two key defensive stops down the stretch.

He works hard and he’s very competitive, so he wants it as bad as anybody and that’s probably what has really helped him along the way. “Playing baseball is probably his lifelong dream, so he is getting everything that he wants right now.” As a high school senior, Thomas was first-team all-OCCCentral Division and Division I all-district.

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.

She scored in double figures 43 times and made three or more 3-pointers in 34 games. “J. got better and better each year and she really was a clutch shooter,” Cullop said. “That wasn’t easy because she usually was guarding the opponent’s best shooter. Playing defense like that can wear down a player’s legs, but I can name several games when she hit key baskets for us late in the game.” shennen@thisweeknews.com Williams is focusing on going back to school www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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

Eagles U-16 defense falters in Cup final loss By AARON BLANKENSHIP
the past two days just to make it here, and the Hawks weren’t really tested until they played us.â€? In the semifinal, the Eagles beat KCFC Force to avenge a 3-2 loss to the same team in a Regional Cup pool-play game a year ago. “They manhandled us on the field to knock us out of the tournament last year, but we turned the tables on them and shocked them with how physical we were,â€? King said. Five minutes into the game, Hopkins stopped the ball from going over the Eagles’ goal line and cleared it to midfield. Playing into a strong wind, the Eagles battled to a scoreless tie at halftime. They then dominated the second half with the wind at their backs. Agnew scored three consecutive goals and Elise Jones scored with three minutes left to make it 4-0. It was the second three-goal game of the tournament for Agnew, who finished with seven goals in five games. “We were under siege for the first eight minutes and Nicole really saved us on a ball that would have scored,â€? King said. “Lindsay had a great tournament and her goal just a minute into the second half really broke their spirit because they were going into a stiff wind.â€? •The Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls team lost to Eclipse Select 3-0 in a semifinal on June 28. “We are probably the best two teams in our region, so it’s a shame we had to meet in the semifinals,â€? King said. “The score wasn’t indicative of how close the game was because we gave up a couple of soft goals by our standards. We made a couple of mistakes on our end and they punished us for it.â€?
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
With defenders Gabby Byorth, Makenzie Costner, Nicole Hopkins and Haley Lehmkuhl and goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas leading the way, the Ohio Premier Eagles Under16 girls soccer team had shutouts in each of its first four Midwest Regional Cup games in Fox Cities, Wis. The defense wasn’t as strong in the final, when the Eagles allowed two goals in the first 12 minutes and lost to the Michigan Hawks 2-0 on June 29. “We hadn’t given up a goal the entire tournament, so we were in shock when we gave up two so quickly,� coach Chris King said. “We conceded a soft goal off a corner kick seven minutes into the game and the kids were a bit taken aback by that. Five minutes later, one of their players took a bad touch on the ball, ran into one of our defenders and went down, and the ref bit on it and gave her a penalty kick, which they scored on.� The Eagles switched from a two-forward to a three-forward formation in the second half, but the Hawks goalkeeper made saves on shots by Bailey Wilson, Emily Byorth and Lindsay Agnew. King said that his team’s 1-0 win over Eclipse Select of Illinois on penalty kicks in its final pool-play game on June 27 and its 4-0 victory over KCFC Force of Kansas in a semifinal on June 28 drained his players of much-needed energy heading into the final. “We had a tougher path to reach the final than the Hawks had and we just didn’t have enough left in the tank to come back and beat them after we fell behind 2-0,� King said. “We pressed every ball in the second half and we had some good chances, but we couldn’t finish them.

Many factors cause dip in area Legion teams By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
How long does it take a trend to become the norm? In the past few years, central Ohio baseball players have started taking their talents to travel squads at the expense of American Legion teams. The players, high school coaches and Legion coaches debate the reasons for the change, but it doesn’t appear to be something that can be easily resolved. “The number of teams has decreased, but I wouldn’t say the talent has necessarily decreased that much,� said Michael Higgins, baseball chairman in Legion District 12. “I think we peaked a few years back when we had a dozen or more teams in District 12. Now we have six teams in the Senior Division and we have four teams in the Junior Division, which is in its second season of being officially recognized by American Legion. “When we had 12 (Senior Division) teams, people around the state were amazed. I think the increase to 12 teams was the abnormality, not the decrease in posts we’re now experiencing.�
ECONOMIC WOES Higgins said one of the big reasons for fewer posts offering baseball is the weak economy. “The economy has definitely played a role because many of the posts can’t afford to play in tournaments every weekend in addition to the league play during the week,� Higgins said. “I also think the increasing number of participants in sports such as soccer and lacrosse has taken away some of our kids.� About a dozen years ago, Newark Post 85 ran into a similar problem and decided to only fund a few of its team’s tournaments. The area’s baseball gurus got together and formed the Licking County Athletics. After a few separate years, the team and Post 85 reunited and added a few other sponsors. The Athletics played a Legion schedule, a Babe Ruth schedule and also played in select

Brian Hanks of Worthington Post 239 throws to first base to record an out during a game against Westerville Post 171C on June 15. Post 239 is among several area American Legion squads affected by the increasing popularity of travel teams.
There is a philosophical difference between Legion baseball and high school baseball coaches. “The reason for the decline (in Legion baseball), in my opinion, is that there are too many baseball teams in central Ohio at this age,� Worthington Post 239 coach Jim Townsend said. “I think the talent is diluted and the result seems to be that Legion is not as competitive as it once was. “I think the high school coaches chose the easy way out and turned posts into an extension of the spring season. They want their kids playing together and that has ruined Legion baseball in central Ohio. Outside of central Ohio, Legion remains very competitive.� Post 239 went 2-2 in the state tournament last season. But Thomas Worthington coach Stephen Gussler, Worthington Kilbourne coach Jeff Boulware, WatPHILOSOPHICAL DIFFERENCES terson coach Scott Manahan and While the bad economy can be Upper Arlington coach Matt Midblamed for many things, there is dleton then decided to form a travmore to this issue. el team, Team Columbus.
elite tournaments. Pickerington Post 283 is in the same position, playing a schedule similar to what the Athletics played in the past. “Our post is the reason we still have a true Legion team,� coach Chris Weber said. “They support us financially way beyond what 90 percent of other posts in Ohio do. They believe in Legion baseball and baseball has brought good publicity to our post.� Because of Post 283’s financial support, the team plays other travel squads and competes in a number of elite tournaments. “We’re in a special situation where our post supports us well financially,� Weber said. “Some posts just don’t have the money to send the team all over the state and the Midwest.�
“There are multiple reasons for choosing not to play Legion this year,� Middleton said. “It has become a form of high school-only ball and the play is so inconsistent. We would beat up on somebody one day and then get beaten up the next day. The level of play was so drastic and inconsistent that, in this sport, you can get bored with it rather quickly. “In Columbus, it’s been about keeping the younger guys together from the same high school. In Upper Arlington, we kept the freshmen together and just played U-15 travel ball. But the older they get, you want them competing and being successful playing with and against strong competition.� With the high school season being short in Ohio, it is difficult to put the blame solely on high school coaches, Middleton said. “It’s all about how much improvement you can make in the offseason,� he said. “Truthfully, the high school season is so short, and when you have two straight
weeks of rainouts, you really accomplish very little. You really need to make your jump in improvement during the summer. “(The Team Columbus) schedule is such that we’re playing select teams and we’re playing the true Legion teams in these tournaments. That’s what we want.�
“In Legion, you’d play one league game every other night or something, but in these tournaments we play three to five games a weekend and less during the week,� Yahn said. “We can do more lifting for football, go to more camps and do other high school things during the week.�
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS
OBLIGATIONS
The Licking County Athletics, who lost their Babe Ruth affiliation at the conclusion of last season, also chose not to return to Legion this season and are now a travel team. “We went with a younger team with no 19-year-olds or college players this season,� coach Adam Arcuri said. “We think we have a lot of boys who plan to play in college and we wanted them to play against elite and select teams who also have older players. It’s a gauge as to where they are and where they need to be if they want to continue to play the game.� Derek Yahn, a Heath senior who plays for the Athletics, said the team is enjoying the challenge. “This allows us to travel out of town more often and we’re hanging out and becoming friends and I think that’s showing on the diamond,� Yahn said. “We’re a younger team competing against Legion teams with college players and in tournaments against older players, too. I think it will help prepare us for college baseball better. We played in a Columbus Cobras tournament against a pitcher from Xavier and a player from Ohio State.� Weber, the Pickerington Post 283 coach, said many of the kids who choose travel ball believe they get to play on a bigger stage with more college scouts and recruiters in attendance. “They want to go to showcases where they think they can be seen,� Weber said. “One way to do that is through travel baseball. It’s all about what you want and what your post allows. In our case, we’re able to do both. We have played in those same tournaments with travel teams.� Yahn also pointed out a schedule difference.
TO PLAYERS
Another big difference between most travel teams and Legion teams is the size of the roster. “Travel teams generally use 11 or 12 players all summer,� Weber said. “At Post 283, we have great players competing every day for the chance to get into the lineup. Legion rosters can be deeper and more competitive because the players have to earn their way into the lineup. And that’s the way it will be for the kids who go on to play in college.� That means a player who is slumping or not performing well can be substituted without consternation. “At Post 283, the best players play,� Weber said. “It doesn’t matter how much money their parents pay or what their parents do for a living. I’m not saying all travel teams are like that, but it doesn’t matter here.� In travel ball, there is more opportunity for coaches to be loyal to players and maybe even some favoritism when it comes to positions played based on how much money is invested by a player’s parents, or the money donated by a parent’s employer. “Let’s face it. There are probably some real good players in central Ohio who don’t play travel ball because his parents can’t afford it,� Weber said. For all their differences, Legion and travel baseball have one thing in common — trying to improve players. Nuances and financial times may change, and that leaves the door open for Legion to eventually return to some of its better years in central Ohio. bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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