Home and Garden Tour higlights 1800s BY CANDY BROOKS

Ventrescas blend history, whimsy inside their 1820s ‘dormitory’

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Some of Worthington’s oldest structures will be open during the Worthington Historical Society Home and Garden Tour on July 10. Thirteen buildings, seven of them private homes, will be on the tour that runs from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available prior to the day of the tour at the Old Rectory and at Fritzy Jacobs. On July 10, they will be available at the Orange Johnson House and the Old Rectory. Presale tickets are $10. The price is $15 on the day of the tour. To celebrate the 200th birthday of the pioneer section of the Orange Johnson House, this year’s tour will spotlight buildings constructed in the 1800s. The homes on the tour are as follows: • 25 Fox Lane: The home stands on land purchased in 1812 for the Worthington Manufacturing Co., operated by Worthington founder James Kilbourne. It included a sawmill on the river. In spring 1814, the large brick building was constructed as a boarding house for single workers at the company. Officers at Camp Lyon used it during the Civil War. Current owners bought it in 2009 and made several upgrades, including a more substantial deck to enjoy the view of the Olentangy River. • 680 Hartford St.: The property was one of the original parcels when Worthington was founded in 1803. The house was

It’s one of those houses you have always wanted to see inside. And this coming Sunday, for the first time, visitors will be welcome to come and see the interior of one of Worthington’s smallest but most visible homes during the 2011 Worthington Home and Garden Tour. The Ventresca home is the cozy, saltbox-shaped home at 72 E. Granville Road. The long side of the narrow house is just feet from Hartford Street, inviting drivers stopped at the infamous long red light to look and wonder about the quaint historic home. Though it may look like it was plucked from a storybook, the 1820s house is the very real and comfortable home of Jim and Jordy Ventresca. The couple has lived there since 1971 and has restored and added to the house, making sure it remained authentic but with a touch of whimsy and an appreciation for conveniences of modern life. Known as the Travis Scott House, it is one of the oldest post-and-beam structures in Worthington. The Ventrescas tell visitors that the most remarkable thing about the house is that it is still standing.

built between 1882 and 1889 for Caroline Vest and her daughter and sister. The home has been modernized and includes a twostory addition and a garden that features hundreds of perennials, including hostas and day lilies. • 91 E. Granville Road: The lot was owned first by Russell Atwater of the Scioto Co., but the house was built circa 1860. Winfield Vest built new additions circa 1890. Family antiques and quilts decorate the home, which includes carved wood trim in the master bedroom. • 92 E. Granville Road: Known as the Topping Evans House, the structure was built in 1845 but has undergone several characteraltering additions since then. Second Empire construction with a mansard roof was added in 1878. Features include horsehair plaster and original plaster, molding, doors, windows and woodwork, mantels, floors and staircase. • 72 E. Granville Road: Built circa 1820 as a dormitory for railroad workers, the Travis Scott House is one of the oldest postand-beam structures in Worthington (See related story).

• 72 E. North St.: Built in 1838, the Mattoon-Woodrow House was moved from the northwest corner of North and High streets in 1932 by John Snouffer. The home has been listed as a station on the Underground Railroad. It once was owned by the Rev. Thomas Woodrow, who was minister of the Worthington Presbyterian Church and grandfather of Woodrow Wilson. • 700 Hartford St.: An early, one-room structure, the Skeele House was built on this lot in 1827 by Ebenezer Washburn. The current form of the structure probably took shape in about 1837. The elegant double-galleried home is decorated with period antiques and art by local artists. The extensive English gardens were designed by the current owners. Other structures to be open during the tour are the Ripley House, 623 High St.; the Masonic Lodge and Museum, 634 High St.; Sharon Memorial Hall, 137 E. Granville Road; and the Sidney Brown House, currently operated at the High Road Gallery, 12 E. Stafford Ave. Also open for tour will be the Old Rectory and the Orange Johnson House, both owned by the historical society. A spinning demonstration will be held from 12:30 to 3 p.m. at the Orange Johnson House. Herb experts will discuss typical 1800s herbs and their uses. Artwork from the society’s collection will be on display at the High Road Gallery. The Bethel Folk Ensemble will perform at Sharon Memorial Hall. cbrooks@thisweeknews.com

Learning communities CELEBRATING THE FOURTH being planned for TWHS By CANDY BROOKS

“

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Teams of 100 to 400 students who are focused on a topic of mutual interest are being organized at Thomas Worthington High School. “Cardinal Communities” is the title of a renewal program being planned by TWHS teachers and administrators, who presented an overview to the Worthington Board of Education on June 27. Under the plan, students and teachers could choose to form learning teams that spend most of each school day together, with classes formed around a specific topic of interest. The school already has communities centered on business; engineering; and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Ninth-grade teams are being

planned. They will keep teams of freshmen together during mornings or afternoons to help ease the transition into high school. Future learning communities might be focused on sports and fitness; culinary arts; engineering and architecture; or fine arts. Those were the top four academic themes mentioned by students surveyed in October 2010. According to advocates of the system, learning communities offer opportunities for students and staff to focus on an area of interest and

allows education to be more personalized. Service learning, community involvement and senior projects also are part of the program. Some youths already form their own communities, board member Julie Keegan said. A formalized program would allow more students that advantage, she said. Keegan said she is concerned about the practical application, especially when it comes to the complex process of high school scheduling. “It’s going to be a lot of pieces coming together,” she said. Additional communities are not planned for next year but could begin in 2012-13, assistant principal Rebecca Chapman said. Meanwhile, more effort will be placed on marketing the learning communities already in place, she See BOARD, page A2

BOARD

Parks have plans to mobilize community via social media By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

July will start with a twitter and end with a flash mob at Worthington’s city parks. To celebrate National Parks and Recreation Month, all residents are invited to attend special “Tweet and Meet” events from 6 to 7 p.m. each Wednesday during the month, then participate in a flash mob on July 27. To find the exact location of each event, and the instructions for participating in the flash mob, residents must either follow the

city’s Twitter account, “like” the city of Worthington on Facebook, or call the community center on Wednesday mornings. All during the week, both twitter and Facebook will offer clues about the location of the upcoming Wednesday event. The exact location — always a Worthington park — will be announced each Wednesday morning. The family-friendly get-togethers will feature guests such as naturalists and the “bug man,” treats from local restaurants, and more surprises, according to Melissa Hindman of the Wor-

“X” and was never heard of again in Worthington’s well-documented history. None of those documents reveal the exact location of the original house, though it may have been built on the Village Green and moved at least once before settling in at Hartford and Granville. Another note from history came from former neighbor Mila Griswold in an oral history in the archives of the Worthington Historical Society. She remembers one owner who kept a cow. He took it into the cellar each evening, and pulled it out the cellar door every morning. An addition was built in 1860, and the Ventrescas built a small addition on the east side in 2002. They added a Rumford fireplace and uncovered the original walnut siding on one wall. “It is impressive to see that original construction,” said Jim Ventresca. “It is very sound.” The home is far from being museum-like, though. It is alive with murals and whimsical decor and painting reminiscent of the American Fancy style, which was popular in the early to mid 1800s.

thington Department of Parks and Recreation. “Each week is going to be fun and exciting, and you get to see a wonderful park,” she said. On July 27, the city will host a flash mob, which will be videotaped and entered into a national parks and recreation contest. The city will post more information as the date nears, including a video and instructions on where and how to be part of the dancing mob. “We are hoping to have a lot of people come,” Hindman said. The Wednesday events will be held weather-permitting.

At that time, homeowners were trying to get a little more style into their homes, to dress up their environment, and the couple has followed that lead. “We never take our house too seriously,” said Jordy. Visitors will want to take in the mural on the wall of the stairway to the second floor. It was painted by artist Bonie Bolen in the style of Hokusai, the Japanese artist known for his mostly blue and white seascapes that always have Mount Fujiyama in the background. She also painted the fireboard that covers the fireplace. The scene depicts President James Monroe when he visited Worthington in 1817. The Travis Scott House, also known as the Gilbert House in some history publications, was placed on the National Historic Register in 1980, and is a contributor to the Worthington Historic District, which was recognized by the Register in 2010. Some historic documents will be on display during the open house, and the Ventrescas will welcome visitors, share their knowledge, and answer questions. www.ThisWeekNews.com

said. Informing middle school students about their options is key, she said. Success of Cardinal Communities will be measured by student and parent feedback, test scores and student growth, TWHS staff members said. “I think this is terrific. It is exactly the way schools need to go,” board president Marc Schare said. Also on June 27, the board: • Heard a presentation of the renewal program being developed at Evening Street Elementary School. Called “Learning for Life,” it is designed to teach and promote healthy living. • Increased lunch prices by 5 cents at the elementary level and 10 cents at the secondary level. New lunch prices are $2.75 for elementary students, $3 for secondary students and $3.65 for adults. Milk will cost 50 cents, and student breakfasts will cost $1.55. • Approved contracts for capital projects to be done over summer. The contracts mark the final projects to be funded by the 2006 bond-issue package.

The headline on last week’s story about Worthington City Schools support staff mistakenly read, “Support staff to forgo wage freeze.” The support staff agreed to a wage freeze, as the story correctly stated.

Franklin County Fair to honor Sheriff Karnes By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The 94th edition of the Franklin County Fair will feature some new events and will honor an old friend. Saturday, July 16, the fair’s opening day, is also Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes Day. Karnes, the longest-serving sheriff in Franklin County history, died last month of pancreatic cancer. He was 71. “He was a big fair supporter, and we want to show our respect and honor him for everything that he’s done for us,” said Allison Rushley, senior fair board member. Karnes was to have received a golden ticket

from fair officials, which would have given him free admission to the fair forever. His wife, Sandy Karnes, will get that ticket. “He was always present at the fair several days throughout the week,” Rushley said of Karnes. “He bought animals from the Junior Fair kids at the livestock sale and he purchased goods from our Junior Fair kids at the creative baking auction. He also entered his fudge and apple pie into our senior fair board contests.” Also on opening day will be three new events at the entertainment tent: a cute baby contest at 3 p.m., when children 5 and under will be wearing farm attire; a toddler trot at 4 p.m.; and a diaper dash contest at 4:30 p.m. There will be two new daily shows at the fair -

bicycle stunts by Rise Above BMX Entertainment, and the Kidbuck$ Game Show, where children can win prizes by doing different activities. Another daily activity is barn tours, when Junior Fair members will talk about the various animals shown at the fair. An old-fashioned draft horse pull is another new event for the fair. “It’s kind of like a truck or tractor pull. You just don’t have the loud noises,” Rushley said. “They hook the horses up, and they see how far the horses pull the weight on the track.” For those interested in more horsepower, the fair will have a truck and tractor pull at 7:30 p.m. July 22. This year, for the first time, the National Tractor Pullers Association will bring a sanctioned

event to the Franklin County Fairgrounds. “I like coming up with new and creative things to get people to come to the fair,” Rushley said. “I like seeing the enjoyment on people’s faces once they come to the fair and see everything that we have to offer.” Last year’s attendance was 47,000, Rushley said, and despite rainy or hot and humid days, it has gone up overall in recent years. The Franklin County Fair will run from July 16-23 at the Franklin County Fairgrounds, 4100 Columbia St. in Hilliard. Hours are 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 16, July 22-23; and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. July 17-21. Admission is $5 and $6 (July 22-23); rides separate. For more information, visit www.fcfair.org.

New program offers Columbus residents rain barrels at a discount Mayor Michael B. Coleman, Councilwoman Eileen Paley and representatives from Greif Inc. and the Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation District last week announced the launch of the “Columbus GreenSpot Backyard Conservation Program.” Under the program, rain barrels currently offered through Mayor Coleman’s GreenSpot Backyard Conservation Program will be available for $45, less than one third of the $139 retail price. Residents will be required to first register their home as a

GreenSpot and then either attend one of 14 workshops throughout July, August and September or pass an online quiz at www.ColumbusRainBarrels.org. “Through this public-private partnership it will be even easier for our residents to get green, saving money and the environment,” the mayor said in a press release. “A rain barrel is an easy way to get water for yards and gardens, and the best part is, the water is free.” Columbus residents participating in the program will become familiar with the effects

of urban runoff and learn about the tools to manage storm water issues. By using a rain barrel, households will recharge the ground water supply, decrease the impact of runoff to streams, and save money by reducing the use of treated tap water to water their gardens. “A rain barrel connected to a downspout is a great way to help the environment and improve household finances,” Paley said in the release. “They will keep excess storm water out of the sanitary sewer system and provide a free source of water for

plants and gardens. Rain barrels reduce a family’s demand for treated tap water, thus lowering your water bill.” EarthMinded, a subsidiary of Greif Inc., which has its headquarters in Delaware, has partnered with the city of Columbus and is providing RainStations to the city at the discounted rate. The EarthMinded RainStation rain barrel for sale through the program connects to downspouts and automatically collects runoff water from a house’s roof. It includes everything needed for installation, has

a 65-gallon capacity and is easily winterized. Technical assistance is also available to participants. The city has contracted with Franklin Soil and Water to administer the program and partner with local nonprofit watershed groups to conduct the educational workshops.

railroad station. With the completion of the Scioto River bridge, the omnibus service ran from the train station to all parts of the city. By 1867, there were nine omnibuses in use. They were complemented by an “express wagon” service that was begun in 1854 to deliver packages and freight to all parts of the city and a “pygmy omnibus” service that was begun by one Thomas Brockway in 1855. According to a local paper, a pygmy omnibus seated only four persons, and, “The ladies find them convenient for shopping and the beaux will not use anything else for evening parties.” That was the case at least until the more stylish hackney carriage or “hack” was introduced in Columbus during the Civil War. W. B. Hawkes had made his early fortune in the stagecoach business and now turned his attention to local transportation. His hack service was quite successful. As one local account reported, “... during the Rebellion, this species of vehicle did a thriving business. Money was plenty, officers and soldiers were prodigal of their funds, and the hack men got the benefit. A city ordinance fixed their compensation at 25 cents per passenger, yet one case came to the writer’s knowledge in which a driver charged and was paid $15 for less than 90 minutes time.” With this rapid growth, one might think that by the time Columbus reached the 1890s, it would have dozens of hacks and omnibuses on its streets. Yet there were only six omnibuses and about 30 hacks serving a city of more than 100,000 people. The reason for this lack of vehicles was the success of another mode of transportation. On June 10, 1863, in the mid-

dle of the American Civil War, a local paper reported that something new was on the streets of Columbus. “Yesterday, at a few minutes before noon, the first car passed over the street railroad, and of course it was the observed of the observable. In the afternoon and evening, a large number of passengers from the depot availed themselves of this easy mode of reaching the hotels. Today the remaining cars will be placed on the track and regular trips will be commenced.” Plans to build a streetcar line had been first proposed in 1854, but it took the arrival of large numbers of troops in town during the Civil War to move the project forward. Initially operating only on High Street and then on Broad Street, the horsedrawn streetcars would soon be joined by other streetcar lines serving other parts of the city. By the 1890s, the streetcar lines had been electrified and consolidated into one unified Columbus Railway Power and Light Co. and Columbus was a city of “streetcar suburbs.”A local history from that time noted, “The project of building a belt railway for the transportation of freight and passengers — particularly freight — around the city has been many times proposed and sometimes definitely formulated during the past 10 or 15 years, but a positive undertaking it is yet in the future.” What was not foreseen in the 1890s was the rise of motor vehicles. When the “beltway” was completed, Interstate-270 would be the home of all sorts of vehicles. But none of them would run on rails. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

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

Potter finale features ‘wrock’ band A magical night is planned on Friday, July 8, to celebrate the upcoming release of the final Harry Potter movie. At 5:30 p.m., there will be games like Trevor’s Toad Toss, Pin the Tail on Dudders and Harry Potter Jeopardy. Young witches and wizards can also create their own transfiguration headbands during the event, “Harry Potter & the Final Film.” Library staff will be dressed up as famous, and infamous, characters from the series. Dolores Umbridge will be patrolling the event with her clipboard and trying to cheer up Moaning Myrtle. (If you can’t find her, check the bathroom.) Those attending are encouraged to get into the “spirit” as well and dress up for a costume contest. If you don’t have time to put together the costume of a specific character, how about coming as a wizard or witch pretending to be a Muggle? All you have to do is just put on a variety of mismatched clothes. At 7 p.m., channel your inner wizard and enjoy a show by

The band has released three full-length albums that include DeGeorge-penned songs like “Gryffindor Rocks,” “The Missing Arm of Viktor Krum,” “Voldemort Can’t Stop the Rock” and “Slug Club.” Both events, scheduled at Northwest Library, 2280 Hard Road, are sponsored by the Friends Foundation of Worthington Libraries.

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

Imagine creamy and complex grilled sausage patties and cheesy hash browns (plus a colorful corn relish and smoky tomato sauce) for dinner. • Sweet Yellow Corn Johnnycakes: Another play on breakfast-for-dinner, these were fluffy and savory pancakes layered with game-changing Pernodsauced spinach, mild crawfish tails, peppers and an onion sauce. • Grilled Housemade Bratwurst Patty: Happiness on a beautiful breakfast-style biscuit with killer kraut and mustard.

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

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

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

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

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

In brief

Neighbors in the news Wollett is state pageant finalist Claire Wollett, 10, of Worthington, has been chosen as a state finalist in the National American Miss Ohio Pageant, to be held in July in Columbus. Wollett will participate in the Pre-Teen Division. The winner will receive $1,000 cash, Claire the official Wollett crown and banner and a trip to compete in the national competition in California. The National American Miss Pageants feature age-appropriate activities and competitions. There are no swimsuit contests and no children under age 12 are permitted to wear makeup. Wollett is involved in gymnastics, cheerleading, choir, Girl Scouts, dance and Parish School of Religion at Immaculate Conception Church. She is the daughter of Ron and Denise Wollett.

Residents receive Girl Scout awards Two Worthington residents recently received awards from Girl Scout Council of Ohio’s Heartland. Kyla Anderson was awarded the Girl Scout Gold Award for her service project, and the Girl Scouts Appreciation Pin Award went to Worthington Service Unit volunteer Marta Harrison. Anderson received the award

for her project “Intergenerational Prom (Among the Stars).” The purpose of her project was to address the need for more interaction between younger and older generations. She addressed this need by holding a dance at the Griswold Center for local senior citizens and students at Thomas Worthington High School. Anderson promoted the dance by distributing fliers. She also gathered donations for refreshments, arranged for a photographer and worked with local media to help publicize the event. The day of the event, 25 students and 35 senior citizens attended. The Thomas Worthington High School Community Service Club has been approached to make the event an annual occurrence. The Appreciation Pin received by Harrison is given only once to recognize outstanding service to a geographic area or program delivery audience that furthers the council’s goals. Harrison currently volunteers as a troop leader and the service unit registrar, but has served in many capacities over the years. Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland Council, headquartered in Columbus, serves more than 34,000 girls and more than 9,000 adult volunteers in 30 counties.

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. Many of our patients have discovered that traveling to Gahanna was worth their drive. We are First in Class on Angie List, we beat competitor’s pricing by 25% - 70%, we have the top 10 leading hearing aid brands, and we put our customer’s first.

Cross Country

Carter takes over Cardinals boys program By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Eric Carter wanted to make sure his son, Alex, continued to receive good coaching as part of the Thomas Worthington High School boys cross country team after Jeff Henderson resigned in the spring, so he decided to apply for the position. After recently being hired, Carter said he plans to draw from his experience as a distance runner to help elevate the program. “I feel blessed and honored to have

the opportunity to coach in Worthington,” Carter said. “We’ve already had 42 kids sign up for the team, we have access to a college-style weight room, we have an eight-lane all-weather track and we have a nice trail behind our high school to train on. We’ve also got a great assistant coach, Bill Darling, in place and a remarkable booster group. With the advantages we have, if we can’t make it to the state meet, we must be doing something wrong.” Carter has an extensive background in competitive distance running. While competing for the Pittsburgh

Penn Hills boys cross country team, Carter won the AAA (large school) state meet as a junior and finished second in the AAA state meet as a senior. He graduated in 1984. Carter went on to become a fourtime All-American while running cross country and track at Penn State, as he finished seventh in the NCAA national cross country meet as a junior and fourth as a senior. He also placed 10th in the 10 kilometers in the NCAA national track and field meet as a sophomore and sixth as a junior. After earning a marketing degree from

Penn State in 1988, Carter competed for Nike International as a sponsored distance runner for two years, before his career ended when he broke his left foot in three places during a race. Carter has worked as a district manager/corporate trainer for Brown Shoe Co. the past 23 years. He has lived in Worthington for 12 years and his wife, Susan, is a 1983 Thomas graduate. Both of the Carters’ children run cross country at Thomas. Alex Carter will be a junior and Janie Carter will be a sophomore this fall. Before being hired at Thomas, Eric

Carter coached the Worthington youth boosters track and field team for three seasons and the Worthington Kilbourne Middle School cross country teams for three seasons. He then took a break from coaching during the 2010-11 school year. “I wanted to make sure my son’s team had a coach who could continue the tradition of success that Thomas Worthington’s had in cross country,” Carter said. “I’ve been involved in the sport in some way since 1972 when I See CARTER, page C2

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.

Bobbie Davis has stepped down after 17 seasons as the Kilbourne girls tennis coach. Under Davis, the Wolves won league titles in 1999, 2000, 2004 and 2005.

Girls Tennis

Davis left mark as Wolves coach By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

During her 17-year tenure as coach of the Worthington Kilbourne High School girls tennis team, Bobbie Davis was willing to dedicate her time and energy to the players and, if necessary, her socks. “Bobbie Davis made a huge difference in my life,” said junior Kelley Jiang, one of four Wolves players last season expected to return this fall. “She

always knew exactly what to say to me. Last year at the (Division I) sectional tournament, I had this huge blister on my foot and Band-Aids kept falling right off it. She reached down and gave me one of her socks.” Athletics director Jeff Todd has begun a search for Davis’ successor, as she recently stepped down as coach. Last season, the Wolves finished 115 overall and 5-2 in the OCC-Central Division. They finished the OCC-Central tournament with 47 points to tie

Hilliard Davidson for third in the final league standings, behind champion Upper Arlington (7-0, 86). “It was definitely a difficult decision,” Davis said. “I love the girls who are on the team. Because of that, I thought someone needs to come in with more energy than I can give this year. I just got to the point where I wouldn’t be able to give it the energy the girls deserved.” “Obviously, it is a huge loss for the program,” Todd said. “She’s been here for a long time and has done a phe-

nomenal job. It’s going to be tough without her.” Davis was hired when the program began in 1991 and coached the team through 2002 before stepping down for health reasons. She returned in 2004 but stepped down after that season for personal reasons, only to return again in 2006. The Wolves won league titles in 1999, 2000, 2004 and 2005 and sent two douSee DAVIS, page C3

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 which it occurred. Performances that hap-

Without further ado, below are Nos. 10-6 of the top individual performances of the past 22 years, with an honorable mention list in the accompanying box: Maurice Hall, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 7516 to earn the City League-Red Division title and a Division II playoff berth as the senior and future Ohio State running back rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. He had six first-half touchdowns and added scoring runs of 57 and 71 yards in the second half. LaToya Turner, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final and exact revenge for a painful defeat with

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 dur-

Baseball

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

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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

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

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

PHILOSOPHICAL DIFFERENCES

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

TOP Continued from page B1 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. Watkins Memorial was just 119 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was

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

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

11-for-15 from the free-throw line. His point total broke the alldivisions district tournament scoring mark. Johnson added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. Khalilah Carpenter, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet in Dayton Welcome Stadium, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 sec-

Harding 31-22 in their playoff opener. KRISTA KEIR, Westerville South girls track and field (June 6-7, 1997) — Two weeks after setting the state record in the discus (176-5), Keir threw 166-10 on June 6 to break the state-meet record. The next day, she threw 50-4 3/4 in the shot put to capture another title. WENDY LYONS, Westerville South girls tennis (Oct. 19-20, 1990) — Lyons capped a career in which she went 126-6 by losing just one set in the 1990 Division I state tournament. Her 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 win over Centerville’s Melissa Zimpfer in the final gave her a 41-0 record for the season. B.J. MULLENS, Canal Winchester boys basketball (Jan. 21, 2008) — At the Flyin’ to the Hoop Classic in Fairborn, the senior and future Ohio State and NBA player had 62 points, 24 rebounds and three blocked shots to lead the Indians to a 79-69 win over New York (N.Y.) Our Savior New American. AUSTIN STAAB, Westerville Central boys swimming (Feb. 23-24, 2007) — In his final prep meet, Staab tied the national record and won the 100 butterfly in 47.1 on Feb. 23.

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.

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.

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.

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

had to beat two of the best teams in the nation the past two days just to make it here, and the Hawks werenâ€™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. â€œThey 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 Eaglesâ€™ 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. â€œWe were under siege for the first eight minutes and Nicole really saved us on a ball that would have scored,â€? King said. â€œLindsay 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€? â€˘The Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls team lost to Eclipse Select 3-0 in a semifinal on June 28. â€œWe are probably the best two teams in our region, so itâ€™s a shame we had to meet in the semifinals,â€? King said. â€œThe score wasnâ€™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€?

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 wasnâ€™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. â€œWe hadnâ€™t given up a goal the entire tournament, so we were in shock when we gave up two so quickly,â€? coach Chris King said. â€œWe 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.â€? 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 teamâ€™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. â€œWe had a tougher path to reach the final than the Hawks had and we just didnâ€™t have enough left in the tank to come back and beat them after we fell behind 2-0,â€? King said. â€œWe pressed every ball in the second half and we had some ablankenship@thisweeknews.com good chances, but we couldnâ€™t finish them. We www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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

Davis said her biggest achievement as a coach canâ€™t be measured in victories, championships or state qualifiers. â€œMy biggest accomplishment was the small part I played in young peopleâ€™s development,â€? she said. â€œI believe a good high school tennis coach should be someone who just doesnâ€™t coach tennis but teaches players life lessons through tennis. â€œI always got such a kick out of seeing my players come back after they graduated.

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. â€œIâ€™ve played that course several times, but I donâ€™t have a (score) in mind because it depends on how itâ€™s playing then,â€? said Yankovich, who has made college visits to Miami University, Michigan State, Illinois and Purdue. â€œItâ€™s the closest AJGA event, but I want to go in there like I do every tournament â€” all business. I want to focus on my game, play my best and have fun doing it.â€? 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 OSUâ€™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. â€œI didnâ€™t play to my ability (in the Columbus Junior) last season,â€? said Fraser, a senior who won the Tanglewood Junior on the Future Collegians World Tour with a 157 on March 19-20. â€œCompeting in the AJGA is a little stressful, but it is opening my eyes some. I hope to make a name for myself and Iâ€™m getting contacts, but I havenâ€™t really heard seriously from any colleges yet. â€œI hope to finish in the top five in Columbus and Iâ€™m working hard trying to hit greens in regulation. Iâ€™m hitting fairways, but I need to get to the green to give myself more birdie opportunities.â€?
