Long-vacant Altair tract
City to buy ‘last bit of key, prime ground’ City will pay $6.7 million for the land, and refund $9.5 million from a TIF that would have gone to the owners By JENNIFER NESBITT THISWEEKNEWS.COM The land south of Polaris Parkway between Cleveland Avenue and Africa Road has sat mostly vacant for more than a decade, as office and retail developments have sprung up around it on three sides. Westerville city leaders hope they can change that by purchasing the 67 acres known as Altair from the private developers who own it. “It’s really too valuable of land to let waves of development pass it up,” Westerville City Manager Dave Collinsworth said. “We believe it’s time for the city to play a more active role in this development.” To that end, Westerville City Council was to hear the first reading of three pieces of legislation Tuesday, June 4, to authorize the city to purchase the land for $6.7 million from Altair Realty Ltd./North Westerville Ltd. Jerome G. Solove, son of the late central Ohio developer Richard J. Solove, is listed in state records as the incorporator of both companies. The city also would refund $9.5 million in
to the landowners that it would have eventually owed for infrastructure improvements through an existing tax increment financing agreement. Over time, the city will see that money returned as the land is developed, Assistant City Manager Julie Colley said. Colley said it’s crucial for the city to take an active role because Westerville is being passed up for development opportunities. “Announcements are coming from other communities,” Colley said. “We have a good opportunity to capture that market that we’re currently losing.” A development plan for the Altair site has existed since 2001, Colley said. It was updated in 2005. Plans once included a multi-screen theater development and a hotel with space for convention meetings. But those subse-

quently were developed father west in Columbus’ Polaris Centers of Commerce area. Then the economic downturn of 2008 brought progress on the site to a standstill, Collinsworth said. The city, however, is often the first contact for businesses that hope to locate in the area, and city leaders said they have heard demands from investors – demands they believe the Altair property can meet. “We have interest in the retail side, we have interest in the office side and we have interest in the hotel side,” Collinsworth said, referring to Altair as the “last bit of key, prime ground in the city.”

Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement. Stout joined the Genoa Township force in 2004 after retiring from the FBI and was named deputy chief in 2009. In his retirement, Stout plans to serve as an adjunct instructor in criminal justice at Cedarville University. In a press release, Genoa Township police said they would miss Taylor’s and Stout’s leadership. “The many contributions
The city likely will directly market much of the site, looking to sell off smaller parcels to developers, but may bring on brokers to help sell harderto-market parcels with less visibility, Colley said. In addition to marketing the site to potential developers, the key role of the city will be to lay down infrastructure on the site to support the business development, Westerville Economic Development Administrator Jason Bechtold said. “We’ll be building the public piece of this, and they’ll be building the private piece of this,” Bechtold said. “We’re going to do what the city does well: Build the infrastructure to allow for private develop-
ment.” The city will stick with the development plan on file for the parcel, Colley said. That calls for a mix of uses on the site, including a hotel with conference space, office and retail. In the mid-1990s, the city invested $30 million to add roadways and infrastructure to the northwest quadrant of the city, known as Westar, to allow for commercial development on 941 acres. Since then, tax revenue from successful development on that land has repaid that investment, Collinsworth said, and city leaders would like to see that success spread to the vacant plot of land near the heart of the development.
The developed parts of Westar have brought 7,000 jobs to Westerville. The city staff estimates that the development of ALTAIR could bring an additional 3,000, Bechtold said. The approach of buying a large parcel of land to encourage commercial development is not new for the city, Collinsworth said. It’s the same approach the city used in the 1990s to develop the Westerville Commerce Center and the Hoff Woods Business Park along McCorkle Boulevard, Collinsworth said. “We view this as a natural extension of what we’ve already done,” he said.

Genoa police also extended a welcome to Gammill, who has served in local law enforcement for 34 years. Trustees said Gammill joined the township after a distinguished career with Columbus police. He served as interim chief of police for Columbus from
January to April 2012. He was the incident commander for Columbus police in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and for Columbus’ Red White and Boom! Gammill also worked extensively with Campus Partners on the Gateway Project and assisted in the creation of the Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District in downtown Columbus to reduce crime and improve quality of life, the trustees said. “We are honored to have

Woman charged after camera records abuse
Child’s reaction to baby sitter prompts mother to set up video monitoring By JENNIFER NESBITT THISWEEKNEWS.COM
A 22-year-old baby sitter was arrested by Westerville police May 29 after officers said surveillance video showed her abusing a 2-year-old child in her care.
Rebecca S. Sanders, 22, of East state Route 37 in Sunbury was charged with child endangerment, a third-degree felony. Westerville police said the child’s mother became suspicious after her child seemed more upset than normal when being left with the baby sitter. The mother set up a video camera to monitor the sitter, police said. “Mom was noticing that her 2-year-old was getting a little upset ... more upset than normal,” said Lt. Paul Scowden of the Westerville Police Department. “The child’s demeanor had
j u s t changed r e c e n t ly and whenever she was getting ready to leave her around Rebecca S. this baby Sanders sitter. . “There were some things that were coming up missing, as well.” Within nine minutes of the mother leaving, Scowden said, the abuse started, as recorded by the camera. “You saw the baby sitter
carry the baby into the room and drop the child, probably from mid-thigh (or) waste level down to the ground,” Scowden said. “You can’t see it, but you can tell that she has her foot on the child.” Scowden said someone watching the video can tell the baby sitter is doing something to cause the child pain with her foot. Less than an hour later, as the child is lying calmly on the floor, Sanders is caught on camera pulling the child across the floor by her arm and spanking her, Scowden said. The child begins crying, and

Sanders tries to calm her for a few minutes, Scowden said, but then she shoves the child off the couch. The child attempts to run away, but Sanders continues to pull her roughly back toward her and torment her, Scowden said. “It was almost like she was goading the child at certain points,” Scowden said. Sanders confessed to abus-
ing the child and taking items from the home, police said. She told police she had been abusing the child for about three weeks and said she was working multiple jobs and overwhelmed, Sanders said. She was taken into custody by police and taken to the Franklin County jail, police said.

ing for nonprofit status. “We’re going to use that to our advantage,” Tiberi said Pat Tiberi of the scandal. Tiberi said what he would like to see is a lowering of tax rates overall, combined with the elimination of some tax credits and deductions. With the institution of Affordable Health Care Act, the top tier of taxpayers, including many small business owners who claim their business earnings on their personal income taxes, will pay nearly 45 percent in taxes, Tiberi said. “It’s really unfair – very, very unfair,” he said. Tiberi serves on a subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee that deals with taxes, and that committee has held more than two dozen meetings within recent months aimed at finding a sim-

Tiberi: Tax reform should simplify, reduce rates
The time is ripe for Washington to seek tax reform, U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi (R-Genoa Township) told a small group of Westerville CPAs and small business owners last week. “We need to simplify and reduce rates for everyone,” he said Tiberi spoke to about a dozen business leaders, fielding questions and taking comments about taxes, during a forum hosted by the Westerville Are Chamber of Commerce May 29. Congress hasn’t been able to bring about comprehensive tax reform since the 1980s, but might be able to do so now, Tiberi said, because legislators on both sides of the aisle are starting to agree that something must be done. Legislators also might be able to leverage some power to bring about tax reform amid the negative press the IRS has received recently after it was shown IRS officials were unfairly scrutinizing conservative Tea Party groups apply-

Balancing Act
Hell on wheels: Recumbent bikes and I don’t agree To bike or not to bike? The question has dogged me with the opening of every new bike path. On one hand, it’s great exercise and full of social possibilities. And I did – decades ago – ride the rusty three-speed that’s in my garage. On the other hand, I might do my klutzy self in. Not only has the Tour de France had its crashes, my very coordinated friend Patsy swore off biking after a spill. “It’s a long way to fall at this age,” I decided. And I stuck to my guns – until I started dating a man who rides a recumbent. “What fun to ride together,” I thought. And he was encouraging. “It’s a lot lower to the ground,” he said. “Just a little tricky to balance at first.” Lower to the ground was appealing – not far to fall. The laid-back seat position was appealing for ease and relaxation. But “just a little tricky” turned out to be the understatement of the year. My first attempt was in a school parking lot and reminded me of the summer I first learned to ride. “You can do it!” my dad had yelled, running behind me each evening with his hand on the bike. I lost my fear around the time he’d lost 15 pounds. This time, I careened here and there, throwing my foot to the ground with every wobble. “You can do it!” yelled the Significant Other, as I momentarily took off. With each abrupt halt, he suggested it might be the grade of the parking lot that was giving me trouble. “Let’s try another one,” he said. And we did, to no avail. Undeterred, I took up a friend’s offer to work with her husband, “who can teach anyone to ride,” for a second stab at it along the gentle streets of their neighborhood. He was extraordinarily kind and patient, and after 90 minutes he had me balancing myself enough to tackle a gentle downward slope. “By Jove, I think you’ve got it!” he declared. And by Jove, I thought I had. Until we got
to the second part of the lesson: using the pedals. The last thing I remember about that part PAT is a quick encounter with SNYDER some newly laid mulch. It taught me that although I had less far to fall from a recumbent, I could also hit the ground much faster. “How lucky you are,” my recumbent-riding friends pointed out as I was picking mulch from my front teeth (which, happily, I still had). “You found the one soft landing spot on the street.” A reasonable person might speculate that by now, at least the to-ride-or-not-to-ride dilemma had been resolved. But no. I took one more ride (in the spirit of get-back-onthe-horse) and accompanied an apparently still optimistic SO to the bike store. There, he gently pointed out that another option is available: a three-wheeler that is nearly impossible (I’m counting on it) to tip. I resisted only slightly, wondering if after 90 minutes my patient teacher might be disappointed. “Actually, he might think it’s a good idea,” SO said. Apparently so, because when I announced the trike to my teacher’s wife, she politely responded, “We were thinking a trike might be the best recumbent option for you” and supplied the name of a youthful mutual friend who owned one. My kids, well-acquainted with my klutziness, have also endorsed the choice. One offered baseball cards to put in the wheels. But my cousin in Virginia has been the most comforting. “I injured myself just riding a recumbent stationary bike,” she said. Apparently it runs in the family.

As it were
Ambitious Kelton found home in ‘country’ In 1852, Columbus was a town really beginning to come into its own. A created city, Columbus was founded in 1812 to be the new state capital, and its site was picked, among other reasons, because it was in the middle of Ohio. But in the early days, that was about all it had going for it. Isolated from other major settlements, the borough of Columbus had a population of only 2,000 to 3,000 people a full 20 years after it was created. Then, in the early 1830s, the small town’s prospects suddenly improved. Within a two-year period, the National Road reached Columbus and the town was linked to the Ohio and Erie Canal. By 1834, the borough of Columbus had become the city of Columbus, with a population of more than 5,000. A slow process of continued growth ensued – until 1850. That’s when a new transportation revolution reached Columbus in the form of the Columbus and Xenia Railroad. By the end of 1850, Columbus was the second-largest city in Ohio. Only the major metropolis of Cincinnati was larger. Still, the town was not all that great in size. The original plat of Columbus ran from what is now Nationwide Boulevard on the north to Livingston Avenue to the south and from the Scioto River to what is now Parsons Avenue. But once one walked past what is now Grant Avenue to the east, there were not many houses at all. Perhaps that’s why the Keltons liked that part of town. Fernando Cortez Kelton had come to Columbus in 1833. Born in Vermont, he had come west
from that state as a young man of 21 to seek his fortune. And he did just that. ED He began with a lumLENTZ ber business. There was a lot of uncut forest left in Ohio in the 1830s. From there, he moved into the wholesale dry goods and pharmaceuticals business and was successful in those enterprises as well. By 1852, he and his wife, Sophia, were ready to build their dream house for themselves and their growing family. Most people of property and standing in those days lived away from the busy traffic of High Street and the increasingly obnoxious Scioto River. With the Germans in the south end and the Irish to the north, many of the older families of Columbus chose to move east. But they did not move far. Columbus was a walking city at that time and most people did not want to walk more than a block or two to get to places of labor or leisure. That’s why many of the friends of the Keltons could not understand why they wanted to live “way out in the country” at what is now 586 E. Town St., about half a block east of Deaf School Park. “The country” in this case was seven blocks from the Statehouse. But it was not really a rural retreat in the rapidly growing city of Columbus. A reporter for a local paper took a walk out Town Street in May 1852. What he found tells us what the street was like 111 years ago:
The Kelton family lived in their Town Street home until 1975. It is a now an exquisitely restored house museum and well worth a visit. For information, visit keltonhouse.com. COURTESY OF THE COLUMBUS METROPOLITAN LIBRARY
“East of the Deaf and Dumb Institution, Thomas Sparrow, Esq. and Mr. Bartlet are finishing elegant and tasteful mansions, and M. Northrup (of the Capital [newspaper]) and P. T. Snowden, have just commenced building. Hon. Samuel Galloway has become the owner of the large lot on the southwest corner of Town Street and East Public Lane (Parsons Avenue) and we understand he proposes building the present season. “At the east end of Town Street is the commanding residence of our fellow citizen George M. Parsons, Esq. outside the city limits ... As we return west, we cannot but admire the taste displayed at the beautiful mansion of our friend Kelsey of the American Hotel. Evergreens, roses and shrubbery of all kinds, with a great variety of fruits and vegetables display themselves in abundance. So it is at Mr. Kimball’s, adjoining him on the west, while opposite both are
the tasteful building and grounds of the Ohio Deaf and Dumb Institution. Coming on west, our attention is next attracted by the cottage of Mr. Carrington, who has just commenced ornamenting his grounds in a manner worthy of imitation ... “This street is paved on the south side as far as Seventh (Grant Avenue), and we understand an ordinance has been passed to pave the north side to its terminus at East Public Lane. The citizens are also determined to have a good coat of gravel put on the street from Fourth Street east. There are many beautiful shade trees on this street ... .” When the Keltons’ house was completed, it was comfortably distant from downtown. But the Keltons did have neighbors. And soon they would have many more. Local historian and author Ed Lentz writes the As it were column for ThisWeek News.

Thank you for touching our hearts, Sophie
To the Editor: Her name is Sophie. I don’t know her last name, but she is probably around 7 or 8 years old. She appeared in the midst of a crowd of people, walking slowly and steadily through the make-shift rows of lawn chairs and picnic blankets. As ribbons of military music wafted around her, she silently and solemnly searched the audience, seeking a visual connection with those who might recognize her purpose and intent. She wore something blue – a sweater or a jacket that made me think of the sky – and she looked like a little angel with her hair braided perfectly on both sides of her head. She held a stack of white cards in her hands, and seemed to revere the importance of their contents. She never uttered a word, but politely walked up to us and stood for a few moments, without any expectations. She looked long and deep into our eyes, and I saw the old soul in hers. She then carefully reached into her hand, took the top card off the pile, and handed it to us. She remained steadfast, silent. The cards were crafted elegantly, with a red, white and blue ribbon across the front. The words read, “There are only two words that describe the meaning of Memorial Day.” And inside, it said, “Thank You.” It was simply signed “Sophie.” The signature was original, in elementary school handwriting, and it melted my heart. My husband choked back a sob or two, and he was able to croak out a “thank you” to her as she made her way to others nearby. You see, he fought in the Vietnam war, and came home to jeers, cursing and spitting from those who happened to be around when those troops touched home territory once again. What that little girl had the courage to do that night during the 122nd Army Band concert at Westerville’s Field of Heroes activities transcends years of sorrow and disappointment that many of our heroes have felt since performing their duty in ’Nam, or any other war we have fought. Her act of compassion and selflessness certainly helped heal some of the long-
carried scars, as well as calm a few of the internal battles that have waged on long past the actions of war have ceased. So, thank you, Sophie. You may not realize now the importance of your actions, but someday you may understand the weight of the circumstances and the way you touched one special person’s grieving heart.

A simple tune-up on your lawnmower can increase its fuel economy by up to a third, reduce repair costs, and decrease emissions by up to 50 percent. All it takes is an air filter, spark plug, and oil. Start by changing the oil: After running the engine for a few minutes, stop the engine, remove the drain plug, and empty the old oil. Then replace the drain plug and fill the mower with new oil until it is visible through the oil fill hole (or check the dipstick). Then, swap out the old air filter for a new one to help the mower maintain the proper fuel/air ratio. Finally, remove and replace the old spark plug. Do you have any questions about today’s column? At ROUSH HARDWARE, our friendly staff members can assist you with any home-improvement project, from suggesting techniques and tips to helping you choose the right tools and materials. We also have a complete paint selection, with everything you need for when you’ve finished a project. Call 614-882-3623 if you have any questions. Our address is 609 S. State St., Westerville. HINT: If the spark plug in your lawnmower is rusted tight, spray it with a penetrating lubricant, let it soak in for a half-hour, then try to loosen the plug again.

Five-year forecast
Gains in revenue good news for district
Tax collections are up from last October’s filing, with spending slightly below By JENNIFER NESBITT THISWEEKNEWS.COM
An updated projection of the Westerville City School District’s finances shows the district will end fiscal year 2017 with $2.5 million more on hand
than originally was projected. The school board unanimously approved an updated five-year financial forecast at a special meeting Wednesday, May 29. School districts are required to submit five-year financial forecasts to the state in October and May of each fiscal year, which runs from July 1 through June 31. The district collected $1.2 million more in taxes than was projected in October, said district Treasurer Bart Griffith, and it also received $927,000 more in state funding, which
included money brought in through the state’s casino taxes. The district also spent nearly $3.4 million less than was projected in October. A large chunk of that reduction was $1.6 million less spent on personal services, or salaries, which largely was due to the district hiring most of its new employees at the lowest salary levels, Griffith said. The district also spent $1.3 million less in benefits, primarily because of lower insurance premium rates and reductions to employees’ benefits packages.
In all, the district will have collected $149.5 million in revenue and spent $144.5 million. It will end the fiscal year with $15 million in cash reserves. Beginning in fiscal year 2014, the district will bring in more revenue because it will be the first full fiscal year of collections for the 6.71-mill operating levy approved in March 2012. That year, the district is expected to collect $156.6 million, spend $141.9 million and end the year with $29.7 million on hand. In 2015, the district expects to collect $156.6
million, spend $151.7 million and end the year with $34.6 million on hand; in 2016, collect $156.2 million, spend $158.7 million and end the year with $32.1 million on hand; and in 2017, collect $156.6 million, spend $166 million and end the year with $22.7 million on hand. With the positive financial news, Griffith suggested to the board that the district begin the practice of setting aside funds for 30 days’ worth of expenditures, which he said is a standard business practice. “You have the means to set
that aside and make that happen now,” Griffith told the board. “For a business this size, you should have 30-day cash balance. That’s a minimum.” Board members agreed the district should begin that practice and should look toward a policy to make that standard district procedure. “I’m absolutely thrilled that we’re in a position where we’re able to move forward with a cash-balance practice and work toward a policy,” said board member Kristi Robbins. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com

To the Editor: In my opinion, the Westerville School Board has approved a lavish and uncalled for fringebenefits package for school administrators. Your May 9, 2013 article, “School board OKs administrative contract guidelines,” is very disheartening. The school board unanimously approved a proposal to continue “picking up” the school administrator’s 10 percent share of state retirement contributions, and increase it to 11 percent. This “pick up” benefit will cost Westerville taxpayers about $632,000 a year, and with projected pay increases over 30 years, the cost to taxpayers would be well over $20 million. This benefit is not provided to teachers or most other school administrators in Ohio.
WSB also pays an additional 14 percent into the Public Employees Retirement System for an extraordinary 24 percent. To “top off ” this incredible benefit, administrators pay no IRS or Ohio taxes until the funds are received – normally at retirement. It gets better – the employee escapes the Medicare and Medicare surtax, and if they retire, say in Florida, they pay zero taxes to the state of Ohio. We all want good schools, but this kind of reckless spending by our school board is unnecessary and exorbitant. The only chance we have of solving the problem is to vote against all incumbent school board members and school levies until we have a responsible Westerville School Board. Ronald G. Lykins, CPA, MBA, Ph.D.
Westerville TEA Party helps buy a bus for WARM To the Editor: The Westerville TEA Party would like to thank our supporters for their generosity. We recently became aware that the Westerville Area Resource Ministry, or WARM, was working on buying a school bus to expand their ministry. This bus will be used to support many facets of their ministry, one of which will be as a “Food Pantry on Wheels.” We were informed that the behind the scenes effort to provide WARM a reliable, used bus was already in progress. They now needed the funds to complete the purchase. The Westerville TEA Party wanted to help and invited WARM to our May 14 meeting to speak to our members. WARM representatives shared with us the great work they do not just
processing and providing tons of food a month but also shared about their transient assistance, their work or employment opportunity service and more. Did you know they are expanding their Kids Lunch Club to six local parks this summer? On this one night, the Westerville TEA Party raised $250 more than the $1,000 needed to purchase the bus. We can’t thank our group enough for their generosity. What a great team of people! The Westerville TEA Party is thrilled to be able to help WARM with this project. We encourage you to seek out ways that you can help WARM and in turn help those in our community. Jim Burgess, director Westerville TEA Party

Participating businesses along the shuffle route create activities in which shuffle teams complete in order to move on to the next stop on the route. Some examples of past activities include blizzard eating contests at Dairy Queen, an obstacle course at the Westerville Bike Shop, singing a few! “I really enjoyed getting to do contests at Outside Envy, and “Guess the Gelato flavor” at so many unique challenges while Chocolaterie Stam, just to name meeting new people,” states Jennifer Hitt, corporate sales representative at the Columbus Zoo &Aquarium. “I had never been to Uptown Westerville before the Uptown Shuffle, and I got to experience so much of it in a short amount of time. The after party was also a blast and it was
fun to relive everyone’s favorite challenges and share the strategies we used.” The 2013 Uptown Shuffle will be held on Friday, June 21. A pre-party celebration will begin at Old Bag of Nails Pub, 24 N. State St. The shuffle will kickoff at 6:30 p.m. with an afterparty celebration beginning at 8 p.m., also at the Old Bag of Nails Pub (third floor). The cost to participate is $25 per person. You can register as an individual, we will pair you with a team, or you can register as a team, 4-6 people. All shuffle participants will receive two drink tickets to use at the pre and/or after party, appetizers and

Participating businesses in this year’s Uptown Shuffle include: A Gal Named Cinda Lou, Chocolaterie Stam, Dairy Queen of Westerville, Deja Vu, Graeter’s Ice Cream, Heavenly Cup, Java Central, Marketing Galore!/BlueTurtleTea & Spice,

Masters of the form often called “light opera,” the team of British librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan created a significant chunk of the genre’s lasting material. Indeed, shows such as H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado are brilliant irrespective of categorization – characters that skewered high society, stories that poked fun at traditional opera and music that rooted itself in your brain through clever wordplay and scintillating melodies. The NewYork Gilbert & Sullivan Players and Opera Columbus will present H.M.S. Pinafore Friday through Sunday, June 7-9, at the SouthernTheatre.The production includes local musicians in the chorus and the orchestra. Tickets are $38-$98. Visit operacolumbus.org. One of the best email subject lines inThe Beat’s inbox recently read: “Eternal Summers in Columbus!” Of course, our spirits were dampened somewhat upon realizing that the email was regarding indie rock trio Eternal Summers and not some meteorological marvel – but only somewhat.

There are too many tax codes dealing with the same issues, he said, such as 16 different tax codes for saving for college, and retirement provisions, such as those allowing for 401(k)s, IRAs and Roth IRAs. Giving taxpayers options for saving is good, Tiberi said, but too many options create confusion. “That complexity adds a lot of angst for individuals,” he said. The committee also has

Westerville students have participated in both Fair Choir and Chorale over the years. The Choir’s traveling, auditioned contingent, The Cardi-

Big-ticket deductions such as mortgage deductions and deductions for charitable giving are unlikely to be touched any time soon, Tiberi said, but there are state and regional deductions that affect fewer people the government could look to eliminate. “What we’re going to try to do is reach for the low-hanging fruit and go from there,” Tiberi said.

Track & Field
Central extends state streak By FRANK DiRENNA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM
The streak continues for the Westerville Central High School track and field program. Since their first season in 2004, the Warhawks have qualified at least one athlete for the state meet. In 2004, the girls 400-meter relay of Jeanette Francy, Julia Francy, Raisa Garvin and Vanessa Hardin helped begin the run by winning the Division III state title in 49.18 seconds. This season, senior Charlie Moushey enters the Division I state meet after helping the boys team finish seventh (33 points) in the regional May 29 and 31 behind champion and host Pickerington North (99) as 39 teams scored. The top four finishers in each event qualified for state Friday, June 7, and Saturday, June 8, at Ohio State. “We’ve been fortunate in Westerville (Central’s) track and field program on the boys and the girls side,” boys coach Jason Loughman said. “There’s been somebody that’s represented our school (at state) from the boys or the girls team every year since the school’s been
open. We’re real happy.” Moushey won the regional pole vault title (15 feet) ahead of runner-up Triston Richardson (14-0) of Olentangy Orange. Last season, Moushey was fourth in the pole vault (15-4) at state behind champion Jake Blankenship of Gahanna, who set the state record (17-2). “Last year should definitely be helpful,” Moushey said. “I’m just going to go in there with an open mindset that anything can happen and just do what I can.” Also at regional, Moushey teamed with Eldin Anu, David Hatchett and Joshua Beaumont to finish second in the 800 relay in a program-record 1:28.12. Hatchett also was fourth in the 100 (10.89) and 200 (22.09). “I have to go for it all,” he said. Hatchett, Anu, Moushey and Zach Crumpler just missed qualifying in the 400 relay, finishing fifth (43.13). The girls did not advance anyone to state. They tied Grove City for 37th (2) at regional behind co-champions Gahanna and Pickerington Central (55) as 39 teams scored. Sophomore Keena Pollard
was seventh in the 100 hurdles (15.37).
Dumford, Sandvik lead North at regional
Senior Jacob Dumford led the North boys team to a thirdplace finish (44) at regional. He won the 800 in 1:52.01, avenging a loss to runner-up Anthony Johnson (1:52.23) of Newark in the district 1 meet May 25 at Hilliard Darby. At district, Johnson pulled away early to finish first (1:50.92) ahead of Dumford (1:54.69). Johnson again took the lead at regional, but Dumford rallied on the second lap. “This week the game plan was just get out hard and just be close to (Johnson) when it gets towards the end of the race,” Dumford said. “I thought if I was close to him by (300) or 400 (meters) that I could get him the second lap. He had a little bit of a gap on me, but I was able to close the last 200 really well and just barely get him at the line. I was pretty happy about that.” Dumford won the 1,600 (4:16.67) and teamed with Evan Larrick, Trevor Dilley Chasatea’ Brown of South competes in the 300-meter hurdles and Nick Chatel to win the in the regional meet May 29.

Westerville South High School baseball coach Tim Bates expected his team to be better this season than it was a year ago given that it returned all but one starter, but he probably did not anticipate such a drastic improvement. The Wildcats finished 1710 overall and 8-6 in the OCCCardinal Division this spring after going 7-19 and 0-14 last season. “You have to be happy with 17 wins as opposed to seven last year,” Bates said. “(That is) a 10-win improvement. All the coaches have talked about it and reflected over the season how well our guys were playing.” South placed third in the OCC-Cardinal, behind Dublin Jerome (12-2) and Hilliard Darby (11-3) and ahead of Westerville North (7-7), Dublin Scioto (5-8), Hilliard Bradley (5-9), Westerville Central (49) and Worthington Kilbourne (3-11). Central and Scioto did not complete a league game that was suspended April 10 because of bad weather. Seeded 15th of 41 teams, South lost to 26th-seeded Upper Arlington 12-6 in the second round of the Division I district tournament May 15 at home after having a firstround bye. “After the playoff loss, I was shocked, upset,” Bates said. “As the season went on, I didn’t enjoy as much as (I do) now after everything is over and I start looking back at the improvement everybody made from last year.” South won three of its four games against its crosstown rivals. The Wildcats defeated Central 7-5 in nine innings April 26 and 2-1 on May 2 and split a pair of games with North, losing 3-1 on May 6 and winning 3-1 on May 8. “When all else fails, if you rule the ’Ville, then you can walk around as a senior for the rest of your days in Westerville saying, ‘My senior year, we were the best team in Wester-

Austin Ford saw marked improvement during his second season as coach of the Westerville North High School boys lacrosse team and credited his eight seniors for contributing to the turnaround. After finishing 6-12 last year, the Warriors went 11-9 overall and defeated 11th-seeded Westerville South 15-3 in a Division I Central Region tournament play-in game May 23 at home. The ninth-seeded Warriors lost at top-seeded Upper Arlington 15-2 in the first round May 24. “The seniors were one of the best classes a coach could ask for,” Ford said. “Top to bottom, they busted their butts every game. They were leaders on and off the field.” North went 3-3 in the OCCCentral Division to tie Westerville Central for fourth behind Pickerington Central (6-0), Delaware (4-2) and Pickerington North (4-2) and ahead of Big Walnut (1-5) and South (0-6). Senior midfielder and faceoff specialist Peter Sandvik was first-team all-league after leading the team in scoring with 46 goals and 29 assists. Senior attacker Ryan Buck, who was second-team all-league, had 35 goals and 21 assists. Senior defender Adam Gray was honorable mention all-league. Sophomore attacker Cody Fisher had 39 goals and 11 assists and senior midfielder Sean Burt had 15 goals and 21 assists. Sophomore goalkeeper Will Newton had 215 saves. North went 3-0 against Westerville Central and South. Besides the postseason win over the Wildcats, the Warriors defeated South 13-3 on May 8 and Central 11-9 on May 15. North played part of the season without senior defender Joe Willis and senior midfielder and face-off specialist Mitch Weisgerber. Willis injured his left knee during the team’s trip to Florida in late March before returning May 8 against South. He re-injured the knee in the first half of the tournament game against UA.

They didn’t help at all. It was a rough year watching two of our senior captains on the sideline.” Others expected to return are juniors Jared McAfee (midfielder), Ben Perryman (midfielder) and James Thompson (midfielder), sophomores Walt Chafin (defender), Drew Dutson (defender) and Brad Soller (attacker) and freshman Austin Popovich (midfielder).

It’s just going to take our commitment to make it work.” Central dedicated the win over Gahanna to Copeland’s grandfather, Elmer Rothermund, who died May 22. Central wins Attacker C.J.

Area boys teams capture four State Cup titles
ByAARON BLANKENSHIP THISWEEKSPORTS.COM Four central Ohio boys teams captured championships in the U13 through U19 age brackets of the Ohio South State Cup club soccer tournament this spring, marking the 13th consecutive year that local boys squads won multiple titles in the event. The U19 boys State Cup final was held June 2 at the Columbus Crew training facility in Obetz, and the U13 through U18 boys and girls finals were held May 12 at Hobson Freedom Park in Fairborn. The State Cup champions advanced to the Midwest Regional Cup tournament June 22-26 in Des Moines, Iowa. Crew Juniors coach Brian Bliss has been a major part of central Ohio’s recent success, leading U19 boys teams to State Cup titles each of the past four years. Under Bliss’ direction, Crew Juniors U19 boys squads also have won Midwest Regional Cups and U.S. Youth Soccer Association national championships in 2010 and 2012. Nevertheless, Bliss said he and his area coaching peers do not take their success in the State Cup tournament for granted. Just two teams entered the U19 boys age bracket this spring, and the Crew Juniors beat the Blast FC 3-0 in the final. “I’ve been fortunate to coach some really talented teams the past four years, but there’s a lot of good competition from other (Ohio South) teams, so we understand that winning this tournament is something we have to earn all over again each year,” Bliss said. “The Blast is a great competitor and they are one of the better teams we’ve played in the State Cup over the past

four years. This was a wellfought game and we had to play well to win.” Louis Berra and Connor Klekota scored to help Crew Juniors take a 2-0 halftime lead, and Berra scored again in the second half. Goalkeeper Ryan McLaughlin made two saves in the final 15 minutes to help Crew Juniors hold on for the win. “We organize them, give them a good environment and get out of their way because this team has so much talent,” Bliss said. “We transitioned the ball very quickly and defended well. This is just step one in the process, so we have to remain humble.” The Blast FC U14 boys team beat Tri-State FA Elite B98 4-1 in a State Cup semifinal May 11 before defeating NWC Alliance B98 Black 10 in overtime in the final. In the semifinal, Kristo Strickler scored the first two goals, River Allbaugh scored the last two, Tre’ Boger had two assists and Hector Gomez and Travis Moore each had one assist. In the final, Allbaugh scored in overtime off an assist from Cade Remy. Josh Marcum was the winning goalie. “This team has won a lot of major tournaments this year and they played good throughout the entire State Cup,” Blast FC coach Lesh Shkreli said. “This isn’t the most athletic team, but the boys have a good

We’ll have more offseason activities that the kids will be involved in, which they weren’t last year.”
South finished 3-15 overall under first-year coach Mike Norman. “I felt we underachieved,” he said. “There were a few games we really didn’t compete in. It wasn’t so much wins and losses. It just seemed like there were a few games where we just decided we weren’t going to be competitive.” The Wildcats defeated Wellington 8-5 on April 7, Wheeling (W.Va.)

3,200 relay (7:45.49). Kent Ford was second in the 3,200 (9:21.04) and Chatel was third in the 1,600 (4:19.34). “I love racing these guys,” Chatel said. “I’m ready to go for one more week and so is Jacob.

She joined Jocelyn Sharpe, Haley Sandvik and Heidi Engelhardt in winning the 3,200 relay (9:28.13) and was second in the 3,200 (11:16.1) and third in the 1,600 (5:07.85). “I’m very happy,” coach Johnny Jackson said. “We brought 11 kids and they either came close to their (personal record) and nine of the 11 made it to state in something.

They ran hard.” Senior Richard Dahome, who has had a back injury all season, was the only member of the boys team to qualify for state after finishing fourth in the 110 hurdles (15.07). “This is a huge deal,” Dahome said. “I’ve been injured all season. I’ve been out since February and it just feels good to be back and to be able to qualify for the state track meet.” “We’re happy for him,” Gaul said. “He came back from the injury and did well. He’s doing really well.” The Wildcats tied Reynoldsburg for 26th (6) at regional.
South freshman Chasatea’ Brown was second in the long jump (17-10 1/2) at regional and was part of the girls team’s third-place 800 relay (1:43.84) with Paichence Carter, Amaria Estes and Tara Thompson. Brown also qualified for state in the 300 hurdles by finishing fourth (46.01) at regional, where South placed 12th (23). “It’s going to be a great experience for Chasatea’,” coach Jim Gaul said. “She’ll have the long jump and hopefully she will run in the final of the (800 relay) on Saturday.

Obituaries Stewart
Master Sergeant Derrell Dean Stewart, 79, of Westerville Ohio, passed away Tuesday, May 28, 2013 after an extended illness. He was born November 24, 1933, to the late Henry and Ophelia Stewart in Fordyce, Arkansas. Derrell graduated from Fairview High School, Camden, Arkansas in 1951. In 1953 he enlisted in the United States Air Force, and while stationed in Rome, NY he met and was married to Mary Stewart in 1954, spent 20 years traveling the world with his beloved wife and family and the United States Air Force. After a successful career in the Air Force he retired in 1974 a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam wars, and settled in Columbus, Ohio where he went to work for Sears, Roebuck & Co., later retiring from Sears in 1991. Derrell touched the lives of many people throughout his life by his warm and friendly personality, interesting stories, and his willingness to always lend a helping hand, but his greatest accomplishments were his passion for loving and caring for his family, and his 57 year marriage to his loving wife Mary. Prior to his illness, Derrell was an active member at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. His greatest enjoyment was spending time with his family and friends, attending his grandchildren’s activities, and participating in an occasional car show with his wife in their 1967 Ford Galaxy 500. Derrell is survived by his three children and spouses, Dan and Mary Stewart, Kathy and Scott Winn, and Tom and Kris Stewart; six grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren of the Columbus, Ohio area. Preceded in death by his loving wife Mary Stewart, parents Henry and Ophelia Stewart, and sister Mary Frances Wilson. Visitation will be held 12Noon-2 p.m. Wednesday, June 5 at HILL FUNERAL HOME, 220 S. State Street, Westerville, Ohio. Funeral service will follow at 3 p.m. at Resurrection Cemetery Chapel. Donations can be made to the American Lung Association.
