Center, legal fees funded by council

By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Worthington City Council approved an expenditure of $44,000 on the community center and $75,000 on lawyers during its June 20 meeting.

The community center’s improvements will be done at the end of summer, after the center annually closes for cleaning and repairs.

Dan Armitage was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission, and Maria Miller and Sean Hamzee were appointed to the Community Relations Commission.

Council interviewed several candidates for each position, and members said they were impressed with the talents of residents who had sought the appointments.

“I challenge staff to find ways to use these people,” council member Dave Norstrom said.

Council also congratulated members of the state championship 800-meter

relay team from Thomas Worthington High School.

Vice Mayor James Lorimer introduced the athletes, describing each member’s accomplishments. The four, who are juniors, are “best friends, as well as teammates, and that is a winning combination,” Lorimer said.

Accepting the resolution of congratulations were Kevin Girgis, Andrew Maetzold, Armand Austin and Nana Kyeremeh. cbrooks@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Riverlea annexation

‘Money issues’ still stump commission

Jeanie Bruns (right) of Cincinnati, embraces her niece, Kelly Eyer, of Worthington after she finishes the survivors lap that kicked off Worthington’s Relay For Life June 17 at Thomas Worthington High School. Bruns is a 30-year breast cancer survivor and was walking with her sister, Jo Bottorff, of Denver, who is an 11-year breast cancer survivor. The two were commemorating their sister, Kathy Svenson, who was a 20-year breast cancer survivor but died two years ago from a rare form of leukemia.

Relay For Life crowd small, but dedicated to the cause

By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Like many of those who walked in the Worthington Relay For Life on June 17, Patty Broderick has stared down the monster more than once.

Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997, she fought back with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. She was cancer-free for 12 years, but faced a recurrence in 2009.

That time she had surgery and more chemo, and has had two cancer-free years.

Now cancer has struck again, this time a family member with leukemia.

She had never participated in a Relay until this year. She brought along fiancé and caregiver Roger Hayes to accompany her on the laps around the track to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

“When I found out someone else in my family has cancer now, I thought this would

be a good thing to do,” said the Worthington resident.

Worthington Relay For Life was much smaller this year than in the past. Fewer than 100 people participated, there was no live entertainment or party atmosphere like in past years, and the “track” was actually a parking lot behind Thomas Worthington High School.

Big dogs break ground for park

By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The big dogs came out to break ground on the afternoon of June 20.

Huxley, who is Worthington City Council member Dave Norstrom’s sheep dog, joined his master and other Worthington and Columbus leaders for the ceremonial launch of construction of the Dog Park at Godown Road.

To be located on Worthington-owned land in the city of Columbus, the park will provide space for all neighborhood dogs to gather for exercise and fun.

It is a joint effort of the two cities and the Worthington Organized Off-Leash Friends (WOOF), a group of dog owners who first met two years ago to work toward establishing a dog park for Worthington.

See PARK, page A2

See RELAY, page A2

The easy issues are all but settled.

If the village of Riverlea annexes to Worthington, the city will take over land reserves, the village will maintain its own signs and Riverlea residents cannot run for Worthington office for two years.

Still unsettled are “the money issues” that seem to have both sides scrambling for answers.

The Riverlea annexation commission, meeting regularly since May, will try again June 23 to decide what Riverlea residents should pay — probably in the form of assessments — if the village were to become part of Worthington.

Worthington’s commissioners, Bob Chosy, Lou Goorey and Robert Schmidt, discussed the issues at length with the rest of Worthington City Council on June 20.

At the same time, Riverlea commissioners Kirk McHugh, Scott Gordon and Eric MacGilvray met with Riverlea residents.

When the two sides come together again, they might have new ideas about how to move beyond the financial issues that thus far have confounded the commission, or they could have other issues that need to be revisited.

Both sides say they hope the issues could be resolved in time to place the question of annexation on the November ballot. The ballot wording would depend on the terms agreed upon by the commission.

A Marysville man faces kidnapping and felonious assault charges after allegedly attacking a woman in a room at the Worthington Holiday Inn on June 18.

Nicholas L. Porreca II, 33, of Marysville, faces two felony counts in connection with the incident, which occurred after the suspect allegedly lured his female victim to his room, promising to show her a list of wines he serves at wine tastings.

The woman was at the North High Street hotel to attend a wedding, according to police reports.

Woman attacked in room at local Holiday Inn

By CANDY BROOKS

(From left) Worthington city council members Bonnie Michael, Dave Norstrom and Columbus mayor Michael Coleman take part in the groundbreaking for the dog park at Godown Road on June 20.

Worthington commissioners maintain that they are seeking a way to make the annexation fair to all. The final decision should result in “financial neutrality,” they have said.

Riverlea commissioners have said they also want their residents to feel they are being treated fairly. Though they have balked at the idea of creating a special assessment district to pay the cost of operating and, especially, of paying for upgrades and maintenance of Riverlea infrastructure, they seemed to reach some agreement during the June 16 commission meeting.

It seems that Riverlea residents will be charged an assessment, but the questions of which residents pay, for what and when still await answers.

During the June 9 meeting, Worthington city manager Matt Greeson established that the revenue that would come to the city from Riverlea residents roughly would cover the annual costs of providing services.

That figure is about $100,000, depending on which costs are included and how much really would come from Riverlea.

A financial analysis done by the city showed $121,365 in additional operating funds coming to the city during the first year Riverlea is part of Worthington. During that first year, additional operating costs would be $99,500.

What is not reflected in those figures is the benefit Riverlea res-

when Porreca allegedly began talking to her. He said he was in town to put on a wine tasting and offered to give her information she could use when hosting an upcoming event, according to reports.

The woman allegedly went to the man’s room on the third floor but waited in the hallway. When the man came out with the wine list, he grabbed her and pulled her into the room, according to police reports.

He put her in a chokehold, placed a bag over her head and wrapped a cord around her neck, according to reports.

Police reports Worthington police • On June 16 at 9:40 p.m., a motorist had two tires flattened by a spiked stop stick placed in the roadway to stop a robbery suspect being pursued by police. The incident occurred on state Route 315 northbound at state Route 161.

• On June 13 at 2:30 p.m. in the 800 block of Clayton Drive, a resident was bitten by a dog that had broken through a fence.

• On June 15 at noon, two persons in a green Jeep Cherokee were observed stealing scrap metal from Perry Middle School, 2341 Snouffer Road.

• On June 16 between 3 and 5 p.m. at the Old Worthington Library, 820 High St., an unsecured bicycle was

stolen.

• On June 17 at about 12:30 a.m. in the 500 block of Poe Avenue, a house was vandalized. Juveniles are suspected.

• On June 17 at 3:30 p.m. at the Community Center, 345 E. Wilson Bridge Road, a wallet was stolen from an unlocked locker.

• Overnight on June 17 at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 870 Griswold St., graffiti was spray painted on the building and a window was broken.

PARK Continued from page A1 It studied other dog parks, looked for the right site, and eventually joined with the city of Worthington. A dog park was not on the list of immediate projects being considered by the Worthington Parks and Recreation Commission, but Worthington council members directed commission members to move the project forward.

“Guess how that conflict worked out,” said commission member Dave Kessler on Monday.

When Columbus parks officials heard of the plans, they decided to join the effort. Columbus already has dog parks, but needed one to serve its north-side residents.

Worthington purchased the fiveplus acre site about 20 years ago with the goal of building soccer fields. The fields were never built, and the only purpose for the land has been as a nursery for city trees.

Organizers found out just days before the event that the turf was being replaced at the high school stadium, where the Relay is usually held. School officials helped them find a space on the grounds, but it was not the same as in the past.

“This is a bit of a rebuilding year,” said Molly Arbogast of the American Cancer Society.

Volunteers from past years decided to take a respite this year, and the usual effort to organize did not take place. Next year, though, the event should be back in full swing.

The goal is to reassess the Worthington community, go back to schools and churches and talk about the importance of Relay For Life, and get things reorganized for next year, said Amber Miller, Relay manager for the central region of Ohio.

“We hope to have 40 to 50 teams next year,” she said.

If the approximately 75 people who turned out this year were disappointed in the event, they did not show it.

As in past years, they walked the track, raised money, and talked amongst themselves about the importance of raising donations and awareness.

Approximately 16 survivors took the opening survivors’ lap, then were treated to dinner donated by Kroger.

Two of Mary Halm’s three school-aged children joined in the dinner.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer a year and a half ago. She had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments, all while working full-time and taking care of her family.

Staff at the Holiday Inn called Worthington police about 20 minutes after the alleged assault. The assailant had fled.

He was found at about 3 a.m. at the Waffle House on East Dublin-Granville Road at I-71, according to police. He told a Columbus police officer working special duty what had occurred, and the officer called Worthington police.

The suspect complained of

idents would receive from gaining access to such facilities as the Griswold Center, municipal building and community center.

Riverlea residents will not be asked to pay what Greeson called “an introductory country club fee.”

More complex is how to charge Riverlea residents for capital costs, about $3-million needed to pay for improvements to the village’s streets, curbs and gutters, lift station and sewers.

Worthington city engineer Bill Watterson supplied the figures: curbs and gutters, $1,400,000; street overlay, $600,000; lift station, $350,000; and sewers, $650,000.

One line of thought is that Riverlea’s financial assets, which would be turned over to Worthington upon annexation, would be about the cost of removing the lift station at the end of Olentangy Boulevard.

Let those funds pay for the removal, some have said.

Then the issue becomes who pays for the cost of bringing sewers up to mandated EPA standards and who pays for not only paving streets but also for the more costly replacement of curbs and gutters.

Riverlea’s streets have not been kept up to Worthington standards because curbs and gutters have been paved over when the streets were slurry sealed or otherwise resurfaced.

A possibility under consideration is to assess Riverlea residents for curb and gutter replacement and for either street repairs or sewer

Now Columbus will pay $250,000 to develop the land with separate small and large dog areas, a 50-space parking lot, fences, walkways, picnic tables, and a watering area.

Builderscape of Plain City has been hired to do the construction, which will get under way immediately. The park should be complete by fall, but will not open until next spring, allowing time for new trees and grass to take hold.

Worthington will maintain the dog park for the first eight years, with operation costs to be split between the two cities thereafter.

WOOF continues to exist and is planning education courses for dog owners, and perhaps another dog park for Worthington.

On Monday, though, WOOF founder Jennifer Lyon took time to enjoy the moment.

“I can’t stop smiling,” she said.

“I’m completely bursting with pride today.”

As it were

Indian-trail lore doesn’t always match up with fact Many people find Indian trails especially intriguing. The notion that we may be walking (or, more often, driving) on the same path taken by the Shawnee, Wyandot or Mingo residents of central Ohio gives us a living link to the past.

In an age increasingly made of plastic and microchips, there is something reassuring about the idea that we still follow the same roads used by others for hundreds of years.

And we do follow those previous paths … more or less.

Just as there is something magical in being able to touch a piece of the past in the roads we travel, so, too, there is more than a little myth. In other words, while Ohioans still use former Indian trails to travel around the state, they are not always exactly what we think they are.

There are other parts of the Ohio story that have a similar propensity. The Underground Railroad was neither underground nor a railroad. Rather, it was a network of daring people, black and white, who helped runaway slaves escape to freedom in Canada in the years before the American Civil War. “Stations” on the Underground Railroad might be a barn, a sheltered ravine or even an occasional secret room in a local house.

Today, many older houses in the area are offered for sale with the wistful suggestion that the place was “rumored” to be a stop on the Underground Railroad.

Most of these places were no such thing. Running a station on the Underground Railroad was illegal and dangerous. Most people did not take the risk. But the legend persists.

A similar sort of gloss covers the story of the Scioto Trail.

Native American people had lived in Ohio for thousands of years before the arrival of European explorers only a few hundred years ago. The earliest residents of Ohio were few in number and generally lived their lives following the animal herds then living in the state. So the earliest trails were those made by the buffalo, deer and other animals.

Eventually, the roaming stopped and more permanent towns were built. The people who built them constructed earthen monuments and enclosures and later came to be called the Moundbuilders.

Central Ohio is rich in the remains of these prehistoric people, although we are not as rich as we once were. While a 40foot mound at the south end of what is now downtown Columbus is remembered by the name of Mound Street, the mound it-

self is long gone, as are many more around Ohio.

All of these Moundbuilder villages were linked by trails, ED as well. Some LENTZ are the same that will be used by later residents of the state.

Many are not.

Most of the major Indian trails that will be remembered and later marked as such date from the relatively recent history of the past few hundred years when English, French and later American colonial travelers came to Ohio and left a record of what they found.

What would come to be called the Bullskin Trail, the Great Trail and the Scioto Trail were undoubtedly once animal trails before they began to be used by people. And these trails also quite probably changed in course and location with the passage of time.

As early European settlers came to Ohio, they followed these same trails and made them their own.

Eventually, they would become roads of greater or lesser permanence.

Because downtown Columbus sits on a ridge and once had a large mound in its midst, it is easy to presume that what is now High Street must have been a major Indian trail. That is partly right. High Street was indeed an Indian trail, but it was not a major one.

Indian trails in central Ohio generally seek high ground because it is dry and clear for much of the year. Until well into the 19th century, most Ohio rivers looked very different than they do today. They were generally wider and deeper and flanked on

each side by large areas of lowlying wetlands. They were hard places to travel through. Similarly, the high ridge on the east side of the Scioto was punctuated by deep ravines every mile or two.

These ravines and their attendant creeks and wetlands made travel difficult as well.

For these and other reasons, the Scioto Trail linking Lake Erie to the Ohio River skirted west of what is now downtown Columbus and traveled north following the ridge line separating the Scioto and Olentangy river valleys. That original route is not all that well-marked and certainly is not as well-traveled.

In the years after the American Revolution, the smaller, lessused trail east of the Scioto came to be used more and more to link the villages of central Ohio.

When a private company built the first major road to the Lake Erie towns, it came to be called the Columbus and Sandusky Turnpike.

The turnpike was not very successful. Badly constructed and poorly maintained, the road was a sea of mud in the spring and impassable in the winter. And despite these problems, the road continued to charge a toll. When the company finally closed, many people were pleased.

But the Columbus and Sandusky Turnpike demonstrated that the route was correct for a properly constructed road. It would take many years and a number of other challenges before U.S. Route 23 became that road.

In all, it is the story of a road less-traveled becoming a path of choice of central Ohio.

Library lines

Players pitch in at programs Run Fun planned as part of the Adventure Club series on June 29, and sports games will be featured during Northwest Library’s July 11 session of Games Galore.

For more information about these programs, go to worthingtonlibraries.org/calendar.

If your children aren’t yet Summer Reading League players, there’s still time to sign up at any library location. This year, babies, children and teens will read their way around the bases and earn coupons for restaurants and fun summertime offers.

After completing the program, participants earn a ticket to a Columbus Clippers home baseball game. Players will receive one ticket for themselves and another for an adult parent/guardian (limit two adult tickets per family).

Worthington Libraries’ 2011 Summer Reading League is in full swing.

Because the league is a partnership with the Columbus Clippers, there are lots of opportunities this summer for kids to talk baseball with Clippers players and meet the team mascots, Krash and LouSeal.

On Saturday, June 25, team members will attend the Columbus Clippers Storytime at Northwest Library, 2280 Hard Road, and Baseball Hour with the Columbus Clippers at Worthington Park Library, 1389 Worthington Centre Drive.

On July 20, little leaguers will also enjoy a Clippers Storytime at Northwest Library.

All three events start at 10:30 a.m. and will include songs and activities. Those attending should wear their Clippers gear.

Also scheduled at 10:30 a.m., but on Tuesday, June 28, is a Baseball Science Clinic with the

Columbus Clippers. Children in preschool through third grade can slide into Old Worthington Library, 820 High St., for fun experiments and learn exciting baseball facts straight from Clippers team members.

Whether they’re seasoned veterans or rookies, when it comes to Wii Baseball, kids in grades 46 won’t want to miss the chance to try to outplay Clippers team members. Old Worthington Library’s Wii Baseball event, Strike Three, starts at 11 a.m. on July 15.

Other baseball-themed programs are planned throughout the summer, although Clippers team members won’t be attending.

There’s Baseball Jeopardy on Friday, June 24, and a Wiffleball Home Run Derby on July 12, both Hillary Kline is communications at Old Worthington Library. Wor- specialist for Worthington Lithington Park Library has Home braries.

Franklin County auditor Clarence Mingo will host three town-hall meetings to discuss the 2011 reappraisal and its impact on taxpayers in the coming weeks at library locations throughout the county.

These meetings will be held: • Tuesday, June 28, at the Westerville Public Library • Thursday, June 30, at the Upper Arlington Public Library • Wednesday, July 6 at the Columbus Metropolitan Library

Each town-hall meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.

The Ohio Revised Code Section 5713.01(B) requires that each county auditor revalue all real property once in each six-year period and update those values in the third year following each reappraisal.

The 2011 reappraisal represents that six-year period.

Each property owner in the county will receive a letter in August informing them of the new tentative value of their property.

For more information, visit www.franklincountyauditor.com or call (614) 525-HOME (4663).

Baseball

Team Columbus trying new approach

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Rather than compete in American Legion baseball this summer, a handful of former Legion teams decided to pool their talent and compete as an Under18 travel team called Team Columbus.

The team is comprised of 13 players from four high schools: Upper Arlington (6), Thomas Worthington (4), Watterson (2) and Worthington Kilbourne (1).

“The (high school) coaches got to-

gether and said they wanted to try something different,” said coach Todd Pfeil, who coached UA’s former Legion team, Northwest Post 443, the past seven years.

“That’s all I can say is that we all came to a decision that we wanted to go a new direction and see how it works out.”

“There are multiple reasons for choosing not to play Legion this year,” UA coach Matt Middleton said. “It has become a form of high school-only ball and the play was so inconsistent. We would beat up on somebody one day and then get beaten up the next day. The

level of play was so drastically inconsistent that in this sport you can get bored with it rather quickly.”

Middleton said he spoke with Watterson coach Scott Manahan and Thomas coach Stephen Gussler and that the three of them had the same feeling about the direction of Legion baseball and how they could improve their varsity teams.

“We want our younger guys playing against great competition every day,” Middleton said. “This year, we had allowed some of our guys to play for select teams before we made this decision.

But I think if we continue this, we’ll go to tournaments and be able to compete with the Columbus Sharks and Columbus Cobras and select teams like that.

“Our schedule is such that we’re playing select teams, we’re playing the true Legion teams. That’s what we want.”

Middleton said those types of teams are what Legion baseball used to represent.

“Those Legion teams that still draw from several high schools dominate at state,” he said. “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.

“It’s all about how much improvement you can make in the offseason.

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 See BASEBALL, page B4

Club Soccer

Local teams set for regional

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A central Ohio club soccer team has won a Midwest Regional Cup title each of the past two summers after local squads failed to do so the previous six years.

The Blast F.C. Under-15 boys team won a Regional Cup in 2009, and the Crew Juniors U19 boys squad won regional Team and national previews, championships pgs. B2-B3 last year.

Heading into the 2011 Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 2529, in Fox Cities, Wis., Crew Juniors U-19 boys coach Brian Bliss said he wouldn’t be surprised if a central Ohio squad won a regional championship for the third consecutive season.

However, Bliss said it will be difficult for the five local boys teams and four local girls squads to win their age brackets regardless of their talent level.

“Sometimes it’s more difficult to win the Regional Cup than the national tournament because you have to play five games in five days in the regional tournament and there’s very little room for error,” Bliss said. “A lot of people have forgotten, but we were three minutes away from being eliminated from pool play in the regional tournament last year before we rallied (for a 3-1 win over Everest Soccer Club) to reach the semifinals. A lot of teams have the talent and potential to win this tournament, but you need to make plays at the right time to get it done.”

More than 270 preliminary games will be played as boys and girls U.S. Youth Soccer State Cup champions, select wildcards and Midwest Regional League qualifiers in the U-13 through U-19 age groups compete. All of the age groups have been divided into three- or four-team brackets, and every team will play a game within its bracket June 25, 26 and 27.

The bracket winners will move on to semifinals June 28, with regional finals played June 29.

Regional champions in the U14 through U-19 age groups will advance to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix.

Ohio Premier Eagles club director Chris King said teams need to do more than play well to win a Regional Cup. They also need some luck.

“You have to play well and find a way to win against great competition, but a lot of this comes down to luck,” said King, who helped guide the Ohio Premier U-13 girls team to a regional championship in 2002. “In the closer games, you may need to have a few bounces or a referee’s call go your way.

“The luck of the draw is another big factor because teams aren’t seeded at regional and there have been a lot of years where the top two or three teams in the

Lacrosse

Pierce signs with Jacksonville

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers During a practice in the days following an 18-1 loss to Berwyn (Pa.) Conestoga on April 8, Worthington Kilbourne High School boys lacrosse coach Drew May told his players that he was looking for someone to step up at long-stick midfielder.

May didn’t have to ask for volunteers, as Payden Pierce grabbed a long stick and ran onto the field.

“I’m all about contributing and doing whatever I can to make the team better,” said Pierce, a 2011 Kilbourne graduate who recently signed to play for Jacksonville University, a Division I program.

“I saw a long pole laying there, so I

grabbed it and ran onto the field.

“Just getting used to the stick was the biggest thing I had to adjust to. It’s a little bit heavier than a normal stick. But other than that, it was a much easier transition than I thought it would be.”

Pierce, who was recruited by Jacksonville as a defensive midfielder, is the second Kilbourne player in as many years to sign with the Dolphins. Conor Igoe, a 2010 graduate, played midfield for Jacksonville this spring.

Lily Yednock, a 2011 Thomas Worthington graduate, has signed to play for the Jacksonville women’s team.

“Obviously, the chance to play Division I lacrosse was pretty attractive to me,” Pierce said. “At first, I didn’t know much about the program, but it’s helped having

Conor down there. “(Igoe) told me he really loves it down there and (Jacksonville coach Matt Kerwick) is a great coach. I think I’m really going to enjoy it down there.”

Jacksonville began its men’s lacrosse program in the fall of 2009. The Dolphins finished 6-7 in their first season in 2010 and went 5-10 this spring.

Though Jacksonville is a young program, Kerwick arrived at the school before the 2010 season with 13 years of coaching experience at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va., Alfred University in Alfred, N.Y., and Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, N.Y. He coached Hobart and William Smith for seven seasons before being hired by Jacksonville.

Kerwick guided Hobart and William Smith to NCAA tournament appearances in 2002 and 2004 and to the Patriot League championship in 2002. He was named Patriot League Coach of the Year in 2002.

During Pierce’s three years on varsity, Kilbourne compiled a 55-14 record, winning the Division I state title in 2009 and finishing as state runner-up the last two seasons. This year, the Wolves finished 17-6 overall after losing to Hudson 14-8 in the state final on June 5.

The past three seasons, the Wolves produced four all-Americans, eight Division I college signees, one Division II college signee and seven Division III college signees. Pierce said being a part of the See PIERCE, page B4

Girls Tennis

Stephen leaves Thomas to coach Jerome

By PAUL BATTERSON

Davis resigns at Kilbourne

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tyler Stephen put much thought into his recent decision to step down as coach of the Thomas Worthington High School girls tennis team to become the girls coach at Dublin Jerome.

“I’ve loved my time at Thomas,” Stephen said. “They gave me the opportunity to begin my coaching career. But you are not going to be in the same situation forever. I just felt like I needed to move in this direction.

“The people around me said one of the reasons why this decision was so tough for me was because I am so loyal and I don’t like change.”

Stephen plans to stay on with the Thomas boys team, which he has coached the past three seasons. This spring, the Cardinals finished 11-5 and reached a Division I district final of the Ohio Tennis Coaches Association tournament before losing to Jerome 4-1.

Stephen compiled an 18-17 overall record in two seasons with the girls team. Last fall, Cardinals finished 8-8 overall and placed fifth in the OCC-Central Division with 38 points and a 3-4 record, behind Upper Arlington (70, 86), Dublin Coffman (6-1, 60), Worthington Kilbourne (5-2, 47) and Hilliard Davidson (4-3, 47) and ahead of Hilliard Darby (25, 26), Westland (1-6, 11) and Central Crossing (0-7, 3).

Thomas did not have any district qualifiers See OVERVIEW, page B4 last fall.

Tyler Stephen will take over as girls tennis coach at Dublin Jerome after coaching two seasons at Thomas Worthington. He will remain the boys tennis coach at Thomas.

The Cardinals lost three players — Djenab Conde, Alayne Meyer and Chiho Sugimoto — to graduation but expects to return senior Katie Xu, junior Riya Vyas and sophomores Monica Chang and Shweta Ravi.

“The fact that it was a tough decision speaks volumes about the girls that I worked with and how hard they worked and how dedicated they were,” Stephen said. “I know they’re going to work hard for the new coach and they’re going to do great things next year.”

Thomas athletics director Dan Girard said

the search for Stephen’s successor has begun and that he hopes to have the position filled as soon as possible.

“We’re sad that Tyler’s leaving us. He was just a positive role model and someone who really relates well to kids,” Girard said. “Again, we’re looking for someone who is kid-centered and who is not only going to teach them tennis skills but also life skills.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Bobbie Davis, the only coach in the 17-year history of the Worthington Kilbourne High School girls tennis team, has resigned.

Davis guided the Wolves to an 11-5 record last fall, including a 5-2 mark in the OCC-Central Division. The Wolves scored 47 points and tied Hilliard Davidson for third in the final league standings, behind champion Upper Arlington (7-0, 86).

“We’re looking for someone who can relate well to the players and help them do the things they need to do to be successful on the court and in the classroom,” athletics director Jeff Todd said.

“Hopefully we can get this position filled very soon. Tennis season starts in early August, so we need to get moving on it.”

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Team Ohio F.C.

Green U-17 boys eye Midwest title

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Rosters

The Team Ohio F.C. Green Under-17 boys soccer team surprised many, including coach Steve Dawson, by winning the State Cup tournament for the first time in four years.

After beating the CUP Crew Juniors 3-2 in a semifinal on May 14, Team Ohio defeated the Blast F.C. 1-0 in the final on May 15 as forward Sam Darling scored and A.J. Tresoline earned the shutout in goal.

The CUP Crew Juniors were the No. 1 seed in the tournament and the Blast F.C. won a Regional Cup title and finished fifth in the national tournament two years ago.

Given its State Cup performance, Dawson said he wouldn’t be surprised if his team continued to earn upsets in the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “This team doesn’t have a lot of players who are big stars and I thought we’d be doing well to get to the semifinals in the State Cup,” Dawson said. “But we shocked CUP, which was stronger than us talent-wise, player for player, and we upset the Blast in the final against all odds, and our players have a lot of confidence right now. This team has come on like gangbusters at the right time and is on a roll. If we continue playing like this in the regional tournament, I think we can keep winning there.”

This will be Team Ohio’s first Regional Cup appearance since going 1-1-1 in pool play as a U13 team in 2007.

Team Ohio will open pool play June 25 against ShattuckSt. Mary’s from Minnesota before playing June 26 against Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier and June 27 against the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors.

The Grand Rapids Crew Juniors are first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings ahead of Elm Grove Premier (10th) and Team Ohio (26th).

“We feel like we have a great chance to do well, even though we may be the lowest-ranked team going there,” defender A.G. Basiakos said. “We’re not the most talented team, but we can win games if we play tough defensively and continue to outwork our opponents.”

Dawson said Basiakos and Tresoline will need to lead his defense, while Darling is expected to spark his offense. Darling also scored two goals in Team Ohio’s State Cup semifinal win.

“A.G. is our captain and strongest player in the back, and A.J. has been playing great in

felt could compete at the top level, and this team has lost only one game since December,” Dawson said. “It’s a strange team because we’ve had a lot of injuries and our practices haven’t been fantastic, but it keeps winning games.”

In pool play, Team Ohio Blast will face CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati on June 25, the Michigan Wolves on June 26 and the KCFC Rangers from Kansas on June 27.

In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the KCFC Rangers are eighth, the Michigan Wolves are 15th and the CUP Crew Juniors are 35th.

“We got an OK draw, but all of our pool play games are going to be tough,” Dawson said.

“We’re a streaky team in that sometimes we score a lot and other times we win games 1-0.

This team has some of the best high school players in the area and we haven’t been dominated by anyone, so I think we’ll be competitive in every game in this tournament.”

•The Team Ohio F.C. Juventus U-16 boys team, which lost to the CUP Crew Juniors 3-1 in a State Cup final on May 15, received a wildcard to advance to the Regional Cup tournament for the third consecutive year.

Team Ohio went 2-0-1 and won its pool in the Regional Cup two years ago, before losing to St. Louis SG Academy 2-0 in a semifinal.

Last year in the Regional Cup, Team Ohio went 1-2 in pool play.

“This team has been disjointed up to this point in the season, but we have a lot of talented players such as Tyler Kidwell, Rylee Woods, Alex Polko, Gunnar Bloecher and Alec Binger,” Dawson said. “This team underachieved this year, but we can win at regional if we play together like we have in the past. This is a chance to rectify not playing up to potential in the State Cup.” In pool play, Team Ohio will face the Lemont (Ill.) Raiders on June 25, WAZA West Black from Michigan on June 26 and KCFC United from Kansas on June 27.

In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, Team Ohio is fifth behind the Lemont Raiders (No. 1) and ahead of WAZA West Black (14th) and KCFC United (21st).

“Our experience (in past Regional Cup tournaments) should help because playing at a higher level gets you prepared for this kind of game speed,” goalkeeper Trent Rantala said. “The key for us is to keep possession and link passes to get an attack going.”

As the Ohio Premier Eagles Under-18 girls soccer team conducted drills in its indoor facility June 17, coach Chris King halted practice three times to emphasize the importance of taking away passing lanes in the center of the field.

Moments later, King was shouting words of praise and encouragement as his players clogged those seams and deflected the ball to the perimeter again and again.

At the conclusion of practice, King said his team will need to continue playing defense with that same level of enthusiasm to be a true contender in the Midwest Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “This is stuff that we’ve gone through hundreds of times at this stage of their careers, but doing the basic things right in a tournagoal,” Dawson said. “Sam’s one ment like this is what makes the of the fastest players in the state. difference,” King said. “All of the Overall, this is one of the least teams that we’ll see there will be highly skilled, but the teams that heralded teams on paper.

The team now features a roster that coach Brian Bliss said likely will utilize a more offensive style of play in the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “Last year’s team was probably a bet-

ter-defending group, but we’re stronger on the attack this year,” Bliss said. “That’s not to say that we’re going to leak a lot of goals, because our defending group isn’t poor.

I’m just saying we have more creativity and speed on the attacking end of the field, so we won’t have to rely on our defense as much as we did last year. We have the firepower to come from behind to win games if we need to, so we have the option of being more aggressive.”

The Crew Juniors feature two members of the U.S. U-20 National Team in forward Dylan Mares and defender Eriq Zavaleta, along with two members of the U.S. U-18 National Team in forward Chris Hegngi and midfielder A.J. Corrado.

Five players who competed in the 2010 NCAA Division I championship game, in which Akron defeated Louisville 1-0, also play for the Crew Juniors, including

Akron goalkeeper Andrian McAdams and Akron midfielder Kyle Culbertson. Mares and midfielders Andrew Farrell and Alex Obbey competed for Louisville.

The Crew Juniors went 3-0 in the State Cup tournament and outscored their opponents 11-0, including a 2-0 win over the Blast F.C. in the final on June 5.

“This team is equal to, if not slightly better than, last year’s U-19 team,” Bliss said. “But we’ll need to play well and there’s always an element of luck involved in winning any championship. Hopefully, we’ll play well enough to make our own luck, like we did last year.”

The Crew Juniors will open pool play June 25 against St. Croix from Minnesota before playing June 26 against the Chicago Fire Juniors and June 27 against the Des Moines (Iowa) Menace.

Last year in the Regional Cup, the Crew

Juniors went 2-0-1 in pool play and had to rally to beat Ohio rival Everest Soccer Club 3-1 in its final pool-play contest to advance to a semifinal. After beating Waza F.C. (Mich.) 3-0 in a semifinal, the Crew Juniors beat the Kansas City Wizards 43 in double overtime in the final.

“This was a middle of the road type of draw for us,” Bliss said. “We play an Illinois team on the second day, which is never easy. It’s very difficult to win this tournament because you play five games in five days. There’s a small margin for error in this tournament. Last year we (were) three minutes away from being eliminated from group play before going on to win the regional and national tournaments.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

In the State Cup tournament, the Classics Eagles upset the Crew Juniors 2-0 in pool play on May 15 before beating the Crew Juniors again in the final.

Teutsch scored winning goals in the Classics Eagles’ 4-0 win over Hammer F.C. Premier on May 8, their first victory over the Crew Juniors and their 1-0 win over the Ohio Premier Eagles in a semifinal on May 21.

The Crew Juniors are fourth in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings.

“Because we’re a new club

and not a household name, we may be considered an underdog, but we beat a very good Crew Juniors team twice to get this far, so I’m confident we can compete at this level,” Lentz said.

“Vardar is one of the best teams in our region, so we’ll need to play great defense and find a way to score enough goals to win. Our goalie and two center backs, Mark Just and Will Bolton, have played together since they were 9 years old, and we’ve got some technically gifted midfielders and forwards.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

•The Ohio Premier Eagles U19 girls team earned its second consecutive State Cup title on June 5 when it beat CUP 1-0 in the final.

Last year in the Regional Cup tournament, the Ohio Premier Eagles went 1-2 in pool play and failed to reach a semifinal.

“Most of these girls have played together for seven years, and when they returned home from college, you would never know they’ve been apart for a year because they play so well together,” coach Matt Ogden said. “They already know our system and their chemistry is still great. They know each other inside-out, and that gives us an advantage over a lot of U-19 teams that have been put together with players who are still getting to know each other.”

The Ohio Premier Eagles will open pool play on June 25 against Dynamo F.C. from Indiana before playing Eclipse Select from Illinois on June 26 and Bloomfield Force from Michigan on June 27.

Eclipse Select is first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, ahead of Dynamo F.C. (15th) and the Ohio Premier Eagles (17th).

“Our draw looks very difficult because Illinois, Michigan and Indiana are all very competitive states,” Ogden said. “But at U-19, you never know who will return to play for their teams. With who we have back we’re confident we can play with anyone in the country. We’re going to play a 4-3-3. ... We use an attacking style that sometimes leaves us vulnerable in the back, but we’ve done well with it.”

•The Ohio Premier Eagles U13 girls team qualified for the Regional Cup by winning its second consecutive State Cup title. It went 5-0 in the State Cup tournament, outscoring its opponents 16-1.

In a State Cup final on May 22, the Ohio Premier Eagles beat Hammer F.C. Premier 2-1 in double overtime as Kristen McFarland scored the winning goal.

ier for them when they get to play other teams in games,” coach Kevin Dougherty said. “They are both athletic and good soccer players, where most teams are usually just one or the other.”

In pool play, the Ohio Premier Eagles will face Carmel (Ind.) United S.C. Elite on June 25, Greater Toledo F.C. on June 26 and Centennial from Minnesota on June 27.

In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the Ohio Premier Eagles are third ahead of Carmel United S.C. Elite (10th).

“Our draw could have been much worse,” Dougherty said. “I’d like to see us continue to play defense the way we did in the State Cup when we gave up only one goal in five games, because we’re dangerous when we defend that well.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

BASEBALL Continued from page B1 your jump in improvement during the summer.”

Team Columbus, which has no league affiliation, was 8-8 overall after competing in the Nischwitz Memorial Tournament on June 17-19 in Dayton.

“We’ve been pleased with the overall play of the kids,” Pfeil said.

“The pitchers are throwing strikes, our defense is making plays and getting the ball across the diamond, and we’ve been

swinging the bats pretty well.

Collectively, we’re doing well, and the goal is to get better each day and I think we’ve been doing that to this point.”

UA is represented by senior Michael Armstrong (OF/P/INF) and juniors Tyler Metcalf (OF), Nick Milo (OF), Nick Reed (P), Brett Stricharczuk (1B/P) and Sam Thompson (INF/P). Armstrong batted .284 with 17 runs and eight RBI for the Golden Bears, who finished 7-17.

Representing Thomas are seniors Kirby Boehm (C/1B), Matt

Hofacre (INF/P) and Wes Lindenmuth (INF/P) and junior Ben Miller (SS/P). Boehm batted .417 to lead the Cardinals, who finished 16-10.

Rounding out the roster are seniors Austin Green (OF) and Joe Traini (OF/C) of Watterson, which finished 16-8, and junior Tom Scantland (C/1B) of Kilbourne, which finished 14-12.

All of the pitchers are righthanded.

“We’ve got six or seven pitchers and we’ll run them all out there and let them get some

gles U-19 girls.

The Ohio Premier Eagles U18 girls squad qualified as a representative of the Midwest Regional League and the Team Ohio F.C. U-16 boys team qualified as a State Cup tournament wildcard.

This will be the third appearance for the Team Ohio F.C. U16 boys, Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 girls, Ohio Premier Eagles U-18 girls and Ohio Premier Eagles U-19 girls, and the second

appearance for the Team Ohio F.C. U-17 boys.

“Any of us have a chance to win it,” Team Ohio F.C. club director Steve Dawson said. “If you have good coaching and have kids

work,” Pfeil said. “We’ve got confidence they can do the job and can improve along the way.

They’ve all been receptive to coaching, which is a great thing.

In fact, I can say that about the entire team.

“I think that’s why the strength of this team is its overall approach. Everybody is improving and we are paying attention to details and fundamentals of every part of the game.” bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen

pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

TWO OUT OF THREE A new study shows that 63 percent of those aged 70 years and older have hearing loss that ranges from mild to severe. Perhaps even more telling is the fact that only one fifth of senior Americans with hearing loss use a hearing instrument. When it comes to a breakdown of the numbers, older males are more likely to have a hearing loss (or a more severe hearing loss) than younger females. Moreover, Caucasians were more likely to have hearing losses than African-Americans (64% versus 43%). While the reason for this is not clear, it is thought that pigment produced by the skin and cells in the inner ear may protect the inner ear from free radicals.

Hearing problems that are ignored or untreated can get worse. If you have a hearing problem, see your doctor. Hearing aids, special training, medicines and surgery are options.

If you are experiencing problems with your ears or hearing, call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation.

Financial finesse

Don’t let thieves spoil your vacation First, it’s great that you are aware of the risks and are seeking ways to protect yourself before you become a victim. It’s much easier to take precautions now than have to restore your identity and reputation later.

Being away from home and in unfamiliar places could bring increased risk to consumers, opening doors to thieves. More purchases than usual are made this time of the year, as well, so additional withdrawals might go unnoticed until you get back to home base.

Your identity could be stolen in a number of ways, including loss or theft of your wallet, purse or credit card; stealing your mail or taking documents from your trash; skimming information from the magnetic strip on credit or debit cards; giving personal or financial information over the phone to strangers; or hacking into your computer.

If you are catching up on paying bills or doing any online shopping while you are on vacation, be sure you are using secure websites. Be careful in

stores to protect your wallet, purse and credit cards and watch to be sure store personnel GABRIELLE handle your WHITTAKER credit card p r o p e r l y.

Also watch out for people hovering near you or using a camera phone.

Being extra aware of your surroundings and always being organized also make you more focused and alert so you can spot potential problems. Keep receipts for all purchases and check the receipt against your credit card or other account statements to be sure it is accurate.

Signs that indicate your identity has been stolen include unauthorized charges on your credit-card statement or on your checking account; unauthorized transfers or withdrawals on your bank statements; accounts on your credit report that you did not open; calls from a collec-

tion agency, asking why you have not paid a bill; and calls from a financial institution about an account you did not open.

If you become a victim of identity theft, contact the financial institutions or companies where the information has been used to alert them of the situation. Also contact the police and a credit-reporting agency and request that they place a fraud alert on your account. Keep records of whom you talk to and summaries of conversations.

Many financial institutions offer identity-protection packages. You’ll have no better time to safeguard your identity than before you head out for a summertime vacation.

Great!

I just told him about their huge sale and told him to leave his wallet at home :-)

Cool! That’s the same advice you gave me, Bob--That’s why I left my purse at home!

Do you know what he is looking for?

He told me they better “sharpen their pencils,� because he wants a brand-new Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger!

Well...they were so easy to deal with that I’m sure he will get the deal he wants.

Can’t wait to see his new car!
