Blendon razes blighted home at gateway corner

By JENNIFER NESBITT THISWEEKNEWS.COM

Considered a gateway to Blendon Township, the heavily traveled corner of state Route 161 and Buenos Aires Boulevard has been the focus of recent township improvements, with Ohio Department of Transportation grants being used to spruce up the area.

The northeast corner remained an eyesore, however. The house there burned in a fire years ago and the rental company that owned it left it vacant and deteriorating, said Township Administrator Bryan Rhoads.

When the rental company changed hands recently, the new owners began working with the township on its blighted properties, and possibilities arose for the property, Rhoads said.

The property owner sold the quarter-acre parcel at 3636 Harbin Drive to the township for $5,000.

The township demolished the house on the parcel last week.

For the fall, the township will seed the vacant lot with grass, Rhoads said, but township officials have a greater vision for the property.

“That intersection right there is a major gateway to our neighborhood, to Blendon,” Rhoads said. “This is another corner of that intersection that we could do extra landscaping.”

Rhoads said township officials are working with architects now to develop an entry feature of a small “pocket” park on the property.

Regardless of what happens to the site, Rhoads said he’s already feeling better about the highvisibility corner.

A crew from American Demolition tears down this burned-out home at the corner of Buenos Aires Boulevard and state Route 161 on Sept. 24.

Blendon Township officials hope to establish a small “pocket park” on the high-visibility corner.

Chamber of Commerce forum

Incumbents laud their City Council accomplishments

By JENNIFER NESBITT THISWEEKNEWS.COM

The four Westerville City Council incumbents cited the city’s accomplishments as evidence they should be re-elected during a candidates’ forum hosted by the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce Monday, Sept. 30.

Kathy Cocuzzi, Mike Heyeck, Jenifer French and Larry Jenkins touted the city’s services, economic-development efforts, infrastructure improvements and fiscal responsibilities as reasons they should continue in their posts.

Meanwhile, challenger Doug Rankin said he offered an alternative, pledging to fight the “external units” that inhibit government from the local level up.

Asked what three things they would change about Westerville, all the candidates said Westerville already is a great place to live.

Cocuzzi said she would make people more cooperative when dealing with controversial issues and more respectful of others’ opinions.

“Sometimes in the past, we’ve had people take things personally against people when they’ve disagreed with

them,” Cocuzzi said.

French she would make people more willing to contact the city when issues arise, because the city’s staff is Kathy Cocuzzi quick to resolve problems.

“Occasionally, you’ll come across someone who is very displeased with something that has happened, but they haven’t reached out to anyone to say that they are unhappy,” French said.

Heyeck said he would like to see improvements and growth in Uptown and private reinvestment on South

“Uptown is fantastic. It is the center of our city; it is the heart of our city,” Heyeck said. “But the Uptown is basically State Street, and there is a lot that can be done a block or two on both sides of State Street.”

izens who worry that they won’t be able to stay in their Westerville homes because of rising costs and taxes, and he said he would like to remedy that problem.

“I don’t want to see my neighbors leave,” Rankin said.

When asked what metric they would use to gauge the success of their four-year terms, the candidates pointed to things they said the city does well and said they should focus on continuing to do those things, and on expanding them.

Heyeck pointed to Westerville’s financial success: The city is about one of 10 in Ohio, out of more than 900, that have a AAA bond rating because of its low debt, adequate rainyday funds and five-year balanced budget plan, he said.

Jenkins said the city provides a good balance of fiscal responsibility, economic development and quality services.

“Across the board, Westerville enjoys a high standard of living,” Jenkins said.

Rankin said in a four-year term, he would see a new police facility built, consolidating the department from many buildings into one, parking and traffic flow in Uptown addressed and a balanced budget maintained.

“That’s a standard,” Rankin said of the city’s balanced budget.

it’s important for council members to focus on economic development while maintaining the city’s history.

“We need to find the right balance of development that fits within our city,” she said.

French said she would work to maintain the city’s parks and recreation department, something she said helps attract many to Westerville.

“Our parks and our services that our parks provide are one of the reasons that businesses locate here,” French said. They draw people to Westerville, and it’s so important to have them.”

All of the candidates agreed that raising taxes wouldn’t be on their agenda.

Jenkins said the city needs to focus on initiatives like the recent purchase of 67 acres in the Westar area to bring in more businesses.

Allowing more businesses in means growing the city’s tax base and continuing to provide quality services without raising taxes, Jenkins said.

“We’ve had to turn away businesses who have gone to neighbors” because of a lack of office space in Westerville, Jenkins said. “There’s businesses who want to be here who can’t be, which means jobs lost here.”

Rankin criticized Columbus and Franklin County for recent tax increases, saying the state and federal government must stop the “smoke and mirrors” that surround

taxes.

“You have to live within your means, that’s the bottom line,” Rankin said.

The income-tax increase passed in 2009 was the first tax increase in 22 years and was necessary for reinvestment in city infrastructure, Cocuzzi said.

But by focusing on growing businesses in the city, the city won’t need any more tax increases in the near future, she said.

French also touted the city’s focus on business growth to boost tax revenue and said most residents seem to understand that the city does well with the money it has.

“I don’t like to pay taxes any more than anyone else does, but I’m finding the vast majority of people in Westerville understand that the city goes to great lengths to be good stewards of your tax dollars,” French said.

Heyeck said city leaders made the decision decades ago to not allow Westerville to become a bedroom community by focusing on business growth, which allowed for a solid tax base to support city services.

The city must continue to focus on that, he said.

Additionally, the city owns many of its own utilities, such as electric and water, and provides residents with lower rates for those utilities, providing more value to residents, Heyeck said.

funding to come through for their dates with the wrecking ball.

Other homes are just beginning the process needed to be declared in foreclosure and to be eligible for demolition.

The long process involves trying to locate property owners, which often is impossible.

It starts by sending certified let-

ters to anyone ever associated with the properties and holding public hearings in hopes that an owner will attend.

Rhoads said ridding the township of abandoned, run-down homes has become a point of focus for township leaders.

“We all truly understand that having blighted homes – taxdelinquent, vacant homes – hurts property value and community pride,” he said.

With one of the four properties, the township was able to purchase the parcel, demolish the home and sell the property to someone willing to redevelop it.

For most others, however, the township must place a lien for the cost of demolition against the property, which means it will become difficult for the property to sell in the future.

“It’s definitely a last resort,” Rhoads said.

Aldi plan for Knights Inn goes to council Should discount grocer Aldi still want to build a location at the intersection of South State Street and Heatherdown Boulevard, the company will have to seek approval from Westerville City Council.

Westerville Planning Commission voted 4-2 Sept. 25 to recommend that council approve a rezoning of the property at 32 Heatherdown Drive from Office Institutional to Community Commercial to allow for the grocery store use.

The commission then disapproved a preliminary site plan for the store, with a 3-3 vote. That decision would have to be appealed to council to be overturned.

Commission member Brian Szuch abstained from the two votes because his employer does work for Aldi, he said.

The property currently houses the shuttered Knights

“When you drive north on State Street, that’s what you’re going to see, and I don’t think that gives a favorable impression.”

– DIANE FOSSELMAN

councilwoman and commission member

Inn buildings.

The commission members who opposed the plan said they were concerned that the plan was too much of a departure from the standards laid out in the South State Street overlay, which call for buildings to be constructed next to the street with parking in the rear.

City Councilwoman Diane Fosselman, who sits on the commission, said motorists traveling up State Street into Westerville would see only the large parking field in front of the store.

“It’s still, I think, rather unimpressive,” Fosselman said.

“When you drive north on State Street, that’s what you’re going

to see, and I don’t think that gives a favorable impression.”

Commission member Gerald Domanik also disagreed that the site should be zoned Community Commercial, saying that a grocery store doesn’t make sense off State Street.

“To me, that’s not a grocery store site. It never has been and it never will. It just doesn’t fit.

I think there are other places it will fit,” Domanik said. “I don’t think it makes the statement we’re looking for.”

Aldi representative Russ White defended the plans, saying Aldi has worked closely with city staff over the last two months to break with the corporate model building and

design a building that would fit within Westerville design standards.

The location of the building on the site, and its design, reflect the advice Aldi received from city staff and its consultants, White said.

“I hate to say it was an open checkbook, but we really went above and beyond,” White said, adding that the building design presented was what was “given” to Aldi by the city’s architectural consultants. “We really threw our prototype out the window.”

Planning Commission members who voted for the site plan said they struggled with the decision – between a building that breaks with the overlay, and a desire to to see the dilapidated hotel replaced.

“Do we jump and try to fix it now, or do we wait (for a more desirable application)?” asked commission member Dave Samuelson, who ultimately supported the plans.

Commissioners approve 0.5-cent sales tax hike Franklin County residents soon will be paying more for cars, computers, TVs and other durable goods.

The Franklin County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 24 unanimously approved a 0.5cent increase in the county sales tax, which goes into effect Jan. 1.

The rate reflects a permanent quarter-cent hike and a temporary quarter-cent increase, which will expire in five years.

It moves the entire sales tax rate to 7.5 percent, the secondhighest in Ohio.

Cuyahoga County’s sales tax remains the highest at 8 percent.

A family of four with a

household income of $50,000 can expect to pay an extra $57.50 a year. The tax would result in an extra $4 on an $800 TV, $6.50 on a $1,300 refrigerator and $100 on a $20,000 car.

Westerville man killed by wrong-way driver A Westerville man was killed Sunday, Sept. 29, when an apparent wrong-way driver crashed into his car on Interstate 70 near Springfield in Clark County.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Jason Fricke, 28, was driving east about 3 a.m. when Francois Hagenimana of Kettering drove his Scion the wrong way in the eastbound lanes and hit Fricke’s Honda Accord head-on.

Both men died at the scene of the crash, which happened

east of Springfield in Harmony Township, the patrol said.

Dayton television stations reported that Hagenimana, 24, was an assistant football coach at Centerville High School and played for Ashland University.

Hagenimana had recently enlisted in the U.S. Navy, the reports said.

The patrol said several people called 911 before the crash to report a wrong-way driver.

Just thinking

Roaming dogs in early fall make minor poets of us all “It’s not that our dog doesn’t like us. It’s not that our dog doesn’t care. It’s not that our boy does his best to annoy – it’s because he can’t turn down a dare.”

This is the sort of thing that runs through my mind when my husband and I are outside shouting our dog’s name. Two minutes ago he was right here, casually sniffing the pachysandra by the back porch, and in the time it takes to run inside for a jacket, he’s gone.

That sounds like magic, doesn’t it? All that’s missing is a puff of smoke and a poof. In fact, Pip’s disappearing act lacks only a deep bow at the end. A scent finds his nose and just like that he takes off, lured away like a cartoon animal following an aroma’s beckoning finger.

Pip wouldn’t describe it that way, of course. In his version, he’s on the trail of something big, something vital, something that cancels out mundane rules about staying home. In his mind, expecting him to ignore whatever’s caught his olfactory attention is like expecting a person not to run for help when the house is on fire because he’s not supposed to cross the street.

But that’s dogs for you. They live in the moment. We wish Pip would give living just couple of moments ahead a whirl.

Not an hour, not a day. Just a second or two, enough to remember how much he dislikes being scolded, however mildly, and how much he likes the praise he gets when he zooms home when called.

He doesn’t think ahead to these things, though. He was born without the thinking-ahead gene.

“He’ll follow the call of a bunny. He’ll follow the call of a squirrel. He’ll follow the call of the soybeans in fall like a boy will follow a girl,” I think while shouting myself hoarse.

He’ll come back, my husband says grimly. And he will, or at least he almost always has.

One second he’s still missing, and the next we’ll spot him ambling across the yard just as if he hasn’t been gone for most of the afternoon.

I no longer rush off to report his disappearance to the animal control officer. I did that once, and when I told him that Pip had been gone for an hour and a half even I could see him mentally stop taking notes. Telling the dog catcher that your dog’s been missing for 90 minutes is like calling the police when the mailman is late.

The difficulty is, neither of us can relax when the dog isn’t

home. We miss him, for one thing. We like having a dog around in case we want ears to scratch or a belly to rub. For MARGO another thing, BARTLETT we know the phone is likely to ring, as it did earlier this week. On the line was a neighbor, who had looked outside to see who was tripping his driveway alarm. No doubt he expected Jehovah’s Witnesses or college students selling books, but instead he saw a black and white dog.

Luckily, Pip carries ID, both around his neck and under his skin. His dog tags bear my husband’s name and our telephone number, and within a quarter hour, Pip was in my husband’s truck. He should have been feeling chagrined, but of course he wasn’t. Riding in the truck is Pip’s paws-down favorite thing to do, and if he connected wandering away to the neighbors’ house with an unexpected truck ride, his conclusions were nothing that could be described as a lesson learned. On the contrary, if anyone came away feeling like a post-surgical dog with a plastic cone around his neck it was my husband, particularly when he decided carrying Pip to the truck was preferable to letting him do a perp walk on his own four feet. A walk was too likely to end with another irresistible smell and a second dash into the soybean field.

“He embarrasses us pretty often. He embarrasses us every day. You’d think he was trying to be noncomplying but he simply was born just this way,” I think as I listen to my husband describe this episode.

Pip is, to put it nicely, a mixed-breed animal. He looks like a border collie manufactured by someone who was a little hazy on the details, or who perhaps didn’t have all the right parts and had to improvise. His ears are too floppy, his nose is too rounded and his eyes lack a border collie’s gleam of intelligence.

“He might be as sharp as an eagle, tracking down all that’s bad and illegal,” I think. “Border collies are clever in every endeavor. But what we have here is a beagle.”

I guess that’s why it’s called doggerel.

As it were

Hannah Neil was city’s ‘guardian angel’ She is the guardian angel of Columbus.

Hannah Schwing was born in Franklin, Va., on June 3, 1794. Her father, John Gottfried Schwing, was part of a generation of Americans seeking a new life over the mountains in the years after the American Revolution. In 1800, when Hannah was 6 years old, the family moved to Louisville, Ky. Louisville in those days was a small river town probably better known for its rather disreputable saloons than for its more respectable neighborhoods where people like the Schwings were living. It was at her home in Louisville where Hannah Schwing first made her acquaintance with William Neil.

William, “Billy Neil,” was not so much a person as a force of nature. Born in Virginia in 1786, William Neil came from a family of “good background” but a family possessed of few resources. At a young age, Neil was “turned loose” to seek his own way. He did just that.

In a relatively few years, Neil had learned the trade of the surveyor. He never really became much of a surveyor. He did not need to do that.

In the early 1830s, what Ohio needed most was transportation. And William Neil was pleased to provide it.

To provide a little background, it is important to remember that early Ohio had few roads. Most of the roads it did have were widened paths of animal trails and Indian trails. As Ohio was becoming a settled place, the paths were often widened and stagecoaches began to travel along them. The first stagecoach companies were quite small. They consisted of a coach or two operating on a small route – from Columbus to Worthington or Columbus to Newark.

Someone needed to make a unified collection of these small companies into one system. That person was William Neil.

William Neil was a man who made things happen. He consolidated small stage companies into larger companies by sheer force of personality as well as a rather combative character. By 1850 if one wanted to reach a place north and

west of the Ohio River, that person was riding in a coach owned by William Neil. William Neil had become “Billy Neil – the Old Stage King.”

ED Behind the great stagecoach king was a LENTZ wife who also made things happen. And she did it in a new city in a new state.

Columbus is a created city. There was no city here until the Ohio GeneralAssembly brought it into being in 1812. It was into this new town of new people that Hannah Neil and her husband came. While he was out connecting the state by road and later by rail, Hannah stayed at home and looked to the needs of the people in her town.

A local history described her work. “It was her custom to put away large provisions. Such as pork, hams and sausages and pack them in barrels to distribute to the poor in the winter. So sympathetic and generous was she that she was known to have given away every dress she owned except one of black silk. ... Her old horse Billy was most at home among the byways of the Columbus of that day and he was always taking the lead in turning down some alley where he spent most of his time carrying his mistress on her errands of mercy.”

The Neil family first lived on the northeast corner of Gay and Front Streets and later on Front Street between Broad and Gay Streets. At this time the family had acquired a house and lot across the street from the first Ohio Statehouse at State and High Streets. That rather simple structure evolved into the first Neil House hotel in 1839. Two other Neil House hotels would follow and the hotel would be a landmark of Columbus until well into the 20th Century.

When he first came to Columbus, William Neil had stayed for a time at the country home of Capt. Joseph Vance.

Vance had been Franklin County Surveyor in 1812 and had assisted Joel Wright

Hannah Neil PHOTO COURTESY COLUMBUS METROPOLITAN LIBRARY

in the original platting of the capital city.

When Vance died in 1824, the family put the farm up for sale and it was purchased by the Neil family. William Neil built a large house on the site which was reached by a long lane through a forest of walnut trees that came to be called Neil Avenue.

The home had “wide halls, large rooms, big open fireplaces with brass fenders and was furnished with beautiful mahogany furniture.” There is no known picture of the magnificent house that burned in a rather spectacular fire in 1864.

Hannah Neil was one of the early members of the Columbus Female Benevolent Society, the oldest active charity in Columbus, and was a moving force in the creation of what later came to be called the Hannah Neil Mission and Home for the Friendless. She died on March 8, 1865, of pneumonia.

“Crowds of poor people came to attend her funeral.” After the death of William Neil in 1870, the Neil farm became the home of the newly created Ohio State University.

The funds raised for the Travis Manion Foundation will be used to provide Challenge Grants to families of Fallen Heroes, to deliver the “Character Does Matter” leadership program to young men and women to develop their character, and to annually conduct the 9/11 Heroes Run 5K around the world. Half of the money raised goes to the local community partner, the Westerville Fire Fighters’ Memorial Scholarship Fund, which provides financial support to an individual in the State of Ohio, pursuing a career in Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS), in hopes that they too, will achieve their ultimate goals in serving their communities as an emergency response professional.

Australian Day finds home in Westerville area

By DON DELCO THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

As the Presidents Cup international golf tournament tees off this morning in Dublin,Australian Jason Day finds himself in a unique situation.

The resident of GenoaTownship near Westerville originally is from Beaudesert, Queesnland, Australia, and will play as a member the InternationalTeam, versus a star-laden United States team.

Day was playing well at the same time Ellie Harvey was back in his life. When Day was 17, he was in Twinsburg with his golf coach and caddie Colin Swanton, who was starting a golf academy.

Day and Swanton would frequent a Twinsburg restaurant where Day struck up a friendship with Harvey, who worked nights after attending cosmetology school during the day.

The impacted streets are adequately configured to accommodate multimodal access. In 2012, MORPC produced a Franklin County bicycle path map and these roadways were classified as GOOD. “Low traffic roadway where bicyclists and motorists can safely share the road. Suitable for bicyclists with basic skills.” A complete street makes travel safe, comfortable, and convenient for all modes – but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it overtly provides for each one in its own area.

City Council should not approve this design. The city has a lot of other priorities that require attention and taxpayer money.

especially insightful in financial issues.

Mike’s leadership as chairman of council and mayor distinguish him and recommend him for re-election. In his most recent term as chairman, he has set the City Council on a prudent course of close consideration of possible city initiatives, especially as they would impact the budget. He was an early proponent of budgeting around a five-year sustainable financial plan, which is now incorporated into the City Charter.

During his time on City Council, Mike has shown himself to be responsive to issues raised by residents and strives to maintain transparency in the legislative affairs of the council.

Given his record of proven service to Westerville, Mike Heyeck has earned another term on City Council.

third-place finish at the Masters, tied for second at the U.S. Open and tied for eighth at the PGA Championship. Day and fellow countrymanAdam Scott were the only two players to finish in the top 10 in three of this season’s four majors.

“I prepare very well going into the weeks of majors,” Day said.

From rookie to key team member

Day’s strong performances in the majors was noted by Presi-

dents Cup International Team captain Nick Price. Traditionally, the Australians and South Africans have been called upon to lead the team.

Day is in his second stint as an International Team member.

He may not have the major championship victories like teammates Ernie Els with four, Angel Cabrera with two and Adam Scott, Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen, who each have one. But most golf pundits consider Day winning a major championship to be inevitable.

Until next April at Augusta National, Day’s pursuit of a major title is on hold. For now,

Day is hoping to lead the International Team to its first Presidents Cup win since 1998.

According to Day, the team is off to a good start with Price as the captain.

“He wants to involve all the team members,” Day said.

“That’s the best way to bring a team together is to listen to what every single member has to say.

He’s been a very involved captain. I know he wants us to do well and win a Cup.” At the MemorialTournament last June, Price held a meeting with potential InternationalTeam members that included Scott and Day. Those two, along with

Anne Turpin said she and her husband, Al, were fortunate enough to have the means to pay for Allie’s treatment.

However, she’s encouraged that others will raise money for families who don’t.

“I would say, being a parent, you never know when you might need the support,” she said, “but it’s really great when you have it. It’s nice to have a community that places a high priority on children in the community.”

May Summers volleyed her way to top honors from the Greater ColumbusTennisAssociation, being named its Female Tennis Player of the Year after only three years playing the sport.

May, who will graduate from Westerville South High School this year, is set apart by her determination and by her fierce serve, said her coach, Marlena Smith, who nominated her for the award.

“Tennis-wise, May never gives up on anything she does. She is one of those athletes who work so hard, not only at practice, but then she goes home and works on it there, “Smith said. “She has an amazing serve, and it often (befuddles) her opponents.”

The other thing that sets May apart is that she competes in the sports through the Westerville Special Olympics, and is the only Special Olympics tennis player in Ohio who competes in a motorized wheelchair.

With Smith’s help, May has met and worked with other wheelchair-bound tennis players from across the country.

Mrs. Summers said May’s positive attitude kept her from worrying about how her daughter would fare in sports that are less common for wheelchairbound athletes.

“She’s always been upbeat,” Mrs. Summers said. “She does the best with what she’s got.”

Since joining the Westerville Special Olympics, May has competed in basketball, bowling, softball and track, though she said tennis is her favorite.

Though May said she had some nerves about participating in the sport, she’s never regretted taking up the racket.

“I’m glad I did because I love it,” she said. “I learned to overcome it very quickly. It’s the same sportsmanship, just different people.”

Smith said that attitude prompted her to recruit May to join the tennis team.

“I actually begged her to come try tennis,” Smith said. “I was very excited to get her into the program, and the fact that she showed interest was great.”

May has been a great addition to the team not only because of her own tennis prowess, Smith

Who Should Lead Your Schools?

On November 5th, you will be asked to elect three members to the Westerville Board of Education. This time, your vote can do more than choose new faces to keep doing things the same way.

We are businesspeople. We are running as a team to offer you a choice. Westerville’s schools have a strong educational foundation on which to build. But often, decisions are made based on bureaucratic considerations and turf wars.

It’s time for a school board that works in the interests of students, parents and taxpayers.

In the next few weeks, we will talk about: • “Students First” management that prioritizes students, parents and taxpayers; • The need for ethical, nonpolitical conduct of school district business affairs; • Raising educational performance at the middle and high school levels; • Concerns for student safety on the bus, at school, and at school events; • Minimizing taxes through more effective operational practices.

Please watch for our ads in each week’s Westerville News. We hope you will agree that a change in school board leadership will make a difference!

An unexpected grant from the Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin County has allowed the Westerville City School District to nearly double the amount of mental health workers serving students with severe behavioral and emotional issues.

The board awarded the district a $300,000 annual grant, which was used to hire two fulltime and one part-time mentalhealth workers through Concord Counseling, said Barbara Wallace, the district’s executive director of pupil services.

That adds to the one and a half

mental-health workers the district already had, Wallace said.

With that, the district added a part-time person at the highschool level, one person full time at Heritage Middle School and one full-time person to serve at three locations for the elementary-school level, Wallace said.

With the additional help, the district was able to expand services to bring six students back to the district,Wallace said.Without the additional mental-health workers, those students had to be served at programs outside the district.

While the numbers sound modest, Wallace said, the grant

Apple butter festival slated Sunday The fifth annual Ned Mosher Apple Butter Festival will be from 1 to 4 p.m.

Sunday, Oct. 6, at the log cabin at McVay Elementary School, 270 S. Hempstead Road.

The festival will feature apple butter- and apple cidermaking demonstrations and tastings, games and crafts for children and tours of the cabin, which was moved to the school’s grounds by the Westerville Lions Club 30

years ago.

The festival is named in honor of Mosher, a Westerville teacher for 37 years and director of its outdoor education program for 17.

Mosher, who died in 2008, helped facilitate the cabin’s move to McVay. He used the cabin to conduct hands-on maple syrup demonstrations for students, a practice he continued as a volunteer after his retirement.

has a big impact for families who would have had to traveled outside the community, away from siblings and peers, for services.

“Westerville tries to serve all of their students in district,” Wallace said. “When we send families out, we know they get disenfranchised.”

And keeping students inhouse also allows the district to control the quality of programming for students, Wallace said.

“We can control the rigor of our academics,” she said.

Westerville was one of nine districts to receive a total of $1.3 million in grants from the

ADAMH board, said board spokeswomanAimee Shadwick.

Shadwick said in reviewing its funds, the agency board realized that it had additional money available and approached schools and community groups to see how the money could be put to use.

“Whenever we know there will be some additional funding, we look for where there are needs in the community and we look at how we can invest in that,” Shadwick said.

The need for money in schools was a theme board representatives heard over and over again throughout the central Ohio community, she said.

“One of the things we always hear the most about is providing prevention and early intervention services to youth across the entire county. That was a reoccurring theme we heard from people and the importance of investing in young people in our community,” she said.

“In addition to what we are doing with these investments in schools, we are investing in some summer camp programs, and we did some things in completely different treatment areas.”

The district’s longstanding partnership with Concord Counseling made the process even easier, Wallace said, as Concord Counseling completed all of the

“We must now position Franklin County to be able to serve our growing population by fostering job creation and delivering safety-net services to families, children, seniors, residents and businesses.”

Not everyone agreed with the decision to increase the sales tax.

grant paperwork needed to receive the funds.

In underscoring the importance of such programs, Wallace highlighted the story of oneWesterville family.

That family believed their son’s behavioral issues were so severe that they could not be dealt with in a typical school.

The district’s team convinced the family to enroll him in a program, and they have been thrilled with the results, Wallace said.

“He’s actually participating out some hours in the (school’s) general population,” she said.

And it’s in Westerville, so he’s with his brothers and sisters.”

He said the increase, coupled with other state and local taxes – otherwise known as “pancaking” – could have a deleterious effect on business down the road.

For example, he said, Columbus raised its income tax from 2 to 2.5 percent in 2009. Also, a statewide 0.25cent sales tax increase went into effect Sept. 1.

Meanwhile, Columbus City Schools is seeking a 9.01-mill levy this fall that would, if passed, represent a 24-percent increase in property taxes.

Scary program depicts drinking, driving

“To Hell and Back,” a program that replaces a traditional haunted house with the true nightmare of a fatal car accident caused by drinking and driving, will take place Saturday, Oct. 12, 19 and 26, at the corner of Big Walnut and Tus-

sic Street roads in Westerville.

Drake, Horn headline key OCC contest

South, Scioto set for shootout

There’s a good chance fans could be treated to a shootout when the Westerville South High School football team plays host to Dublin Scioto on Friday, Oct. 4, in an OCC-Cardinal Division game.

The Irish, who beat Westerville North 41-19 on Sept.

27 to improve to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the league, are averaging 31.8 points and giving up an average of 25.6. The Wildcats, who lost to Hilliard Bradley 52-48 on Sept. 27 to fall to 3-2 and 1-1, are averaging 35.4 points and allowing 23.4.

History also points to a high-scoring game, as Scioto beat the Wildcats 42-35 last season and South beat the Irish 45-42 in 2011.

“We’ve had some high-scoring games against each other and we’ve both already been involved in some high-scoring games this year, so there’s definitely potential for another one when we meet on Friday,” Scioto coach Karl Johnson said.

South coach Rocky Pentello is confident his spread offense can continue to move the ball and score, but he said the Wildcats need to avoid making costly mistakes.

Against Bradley, running back Darien Miller rushed for 306 yards and six touchdowns on 22 carries, quarterback Timmy Bates passed for 133 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 122 yards on nine carries and wide receiver Torrodd Carter had three catches for 78 yards.

Quarterback Jared Drake and Central travel to Hilliard Bradley on Friday, Oct. 4, for a showdown of teams that are 2-0 in the OCC-Cardinal Division. ALEX HOLT/THISWEEKSPORTS

A pair of senior dual-threat quarterbacks will share the spotlight Friday, Oct. 4, when the Westerville Central High School football team visits Hilliard Bradley in a matchup of teams that are 2-0 in OCCCardinal Division competition.

Bradley’s Tommy Horn and Central’s Jared Drake both have put up big numbers and lead their respective teams in rushing.

Drake tops the Warhawks with 334 yards and five touchdowns on 62 carries. He also has completed 72 of 116 passes for 1,061 yards with 14 touchdowns and four interceptions.

“This game definitely should prepare us for another big game (against Westerville Central),” Bradley senior defensive back Daniel Tepe said after the Jaguars defeated Westerville South 52-48 on Sept. 27. “We have to shut down Jared Drake if we want to win that game.

If we can stop Drake, we’ll stop them. He’s the key to their offense.”

Drake has several receiving

outlets in senior Micah Lowe (15 catches for 199 yards, 3 touchdowns), sophomore Cedric Frierson (14 for 229, 5), senior Tommy Mansfield (12 for 180, 2) and senior Eldin Anu (12 for 162, 3). Senior running back Alex Fisher has rushed for 299 yards and four touchdowns on 53 carries.

Horn has rushed for 409 yards and five touchdowns on 75 carries for Bradley, which is 3-2 overall and on a threegame winning streak. He is 28for-60 passing for 318 yards with two touchdowns and five interceptions. “(Horn) can run and throw the ball. He has all of the tools,” said Central coach John Magistro, whose team is 4-1 overall and also on a three-game winning streak. “I think (both Horn and Drake) have outstanding speed and they can turn a busted play into a touchdown. (The Jaguars) have some good receivers and a good running back like we do. We’re very similar in that way.”

Senior running back T.J. Martin has rushed for 322 yards

Warriors, Celtics out to end losing skids

By FRANK DiRENNA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

The Dublin Jerome and Westerville North high school football teams enter their game Friday, Oct. 4, at Jerome with each looking to end a losing streak.

The Celtics dropped their second consecutive game when they lost at home to Hilliard Darby 30-7 on Sept.

WILDCATS >> B2 27.

North lost its third consecutive game when it fell at home to Dublin Scioto 41-19 on Sept. 27.

Both teams are 2-3 overall and 0-2 in the OCC-Cardinal Division.

“We’re both looking for an OCCCardinal Division win,” North coach Rodger Elander said. “We’re both going to be hungry. We’re both going to try to get off the schneid a little bit. It’s going to be a good game.”

The Warriors ended another losing streak earlier this season, defeating Franklin Heights 48-21 in their opener Aug. 30 to snap a 45-game skid.

Jerome coach Mark Hundley said despite North’s recent struggles, the Warriors are much improved.

“They’re playing good ball,” Hundley said. “I saw them on film against Darby (37-6 loss Sept. 20). We will not take these guys lightly. Their coach is

doing a fantastic job. He finally has those guys believing and his offensive scheme is good, and if he can get his defense to match it, he’ll be solid.”

Jerome played Darby without leading rusher Steve Kidwell, who missed the game because of a high-ankle sprain sustained in the first half of a 20-0 loss at Hilliard Bradley on Sept. 20.

Warhawks succeed behind stable lineup

By DAVE PURPURA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

The Westerville Central High School girls tennis team rode a consistent lineup to a 13-3 record in dual matches entering the week.

As luck had it, the Warhawks’ lineup was shuffled – albeit temporarily – for the first leg of the postseason.

While freshmen Nicole Cardwell and Alexandria Shaw held their spots at first and second singles, respectively, coach Donovon Barrett had senior Gina Scarborough make her singles debut at third singles. Barrett also put junior Melanie Peters at first doubles with senior Mackenzie Moushey and promoted juniors Bailey Bond and Megan Kasson to second doubles for their first varsity action.

With that lineup, Central finished fourth in the OCC’s inaugural third-place tournament Sept. 28 at Reynoldsburg. Barrett originally made the changes because Sept. 21, the tournament’s originally scheduled date, also was the date of the ACT, but the event was postponed by rain.

“When it was rained out, we asked the girls if we wanted to play the same lineup, and all but one of the girls was able to be there (Sept. 28),” Barrett said. “I’m glad we did it.

Other girls got experience.”

Peters replaced senior Gracie Albany. Bond and Kasson played in place of the usual second-doubles team of Peters and Scarborough.

Cardwell and Shaw both went 1-1 and lost in their respective bracket finals.

Moushey and Peters were 11 and finished third. Scarborough and the Bond-Kasson team each went 0-2.

Central finished behind first-place Olentangy Liberty, runner-up Reynoldsburg and

Bradley's defense scored two touchdowns off South turnovers.

“Darien ran really well, Timmy made some good plays and our line did a good job of blocking, but we can’t keep making the kind of mistakes we’re making, where we’re giving up touchdowns with our defense off the field,” Pentello said.

“Dublin Scioto’s a good team and we need to continue to make big plays while avoiding mistakes which are costing us points.”

Scioto’s defense limited North to 116 yards passing after struggling during a 4138 league loss to Westerville Central on Sept. 20 and a 30-28 loss to Marysville on Sept. 13.

“We’re improving defensively, but we still need to create more turnovers and shore up our pass defense,” Johnson said. “South is similar to Central in that they’re very athletic and they have athletes

with a lot of big-play potential. For our defense, it’s not about taking one guy away from them. They have a lot of weapons, so we’ll have to defend the whole field.”

Scioto quarterback Nathan Densel is coming off the most efficient game of his career, as he was 17-for-17 passing for 246 yards and two touchdowns against North. He threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to running back Darius McDonald and a 54-yard scoring pass to running back Nick Connor.

Connor also rushed for two touchdowns and Densel ran

third-place Olentangy.

Teams with like finishes in all four divisions played for overall conference placement for the first time, replacing the previous format of postseason divisional tournaments coupled with regular-season dual matches deciding league standings.

Teams earned four points per first-place finisher, three points for second, two points for third and one for fourth.

Central, which was 5-2 with 32 points in the OCC-Cardinal Division, finished its regular season this week against Hartley on Oct. 1 and Gahanna on Oct. 2.

“The girls have gone above and beyond my expectations,” Barrett said. “We talked after last year that this was going to be a year where we’d compete harder. The girls have taken that to heart. We’ve played basically the same eight girls most of the year. Every-

body has fit into their spot pretty nicely.”

The Warhawks will participate in a Division I sectional tournament Thursday, Oct. 3, and Saturday, Oct. 5, at Pickerington Central.

Cardwell earned the top seed in singles. Senior Autumn Ramsey and Shaw also will play singles, and doubles teams will consist of Albany and Moushey and Peters and Scarborough.

The top four finishers in singles and doubles from each of four sectionals – the others are at Hilliard Davidson, Reynoldsburg and Upper Arlington – advance to the district tournament Oct. 11 and 12 at Davidson.

The Westerville schools are seeking their first district participants since 2010, when Central’s Taylor Todd and North’s Abby Lewis advanced

for a score.

“Our quarterback is throwing the ball well and making good decisions, and when we don’t have any turnovers, good things happen for us,” Johnson said. “Defensively, South is very athletic and they like to bring pressure, so we’ll need to win the battle up front.

“We have good skill-position players who can score if they find space, so that’s our job as coaches, to find ways to get them the ball with room to make plays.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com

Hundley said Kidwell would be re-evaluated this week to determine his status for the North game. He has rushed for 444 yards and five touchdowns on 71 carries.

“That takes a ton out of the running game,” Hundley said.

Without Kidwell, the Celtics managed just 108 total yards, including only 28 rushing, against Darby.

Elander said his defense must contain Jerome’s running game.

“They’re going to run some double-wing like they did last year and run the ball at you,” Elander said. “They did a nice job with some spread formations last year, too. They have a nice package in that doublewing formation. They do a good job running, so it’s going to be another situation where we have to step up physically and make sure we remain gapsound on defense and force them to run sideways and tackle well.”

Running back John Taylor has 291 yards and four touchdowns on 52 carries, and fullback Andy Struttmann has 266 yards and four touchdowns on 35 carries.

Quarterback Jake Downs has completed 21 of 56 passes for 279 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions.

“Progress is definitely being made. We just wish that there

were more wins to show for our progress,” Elander said.

“We’re still working at it. The kids have a good attitude. We’re still trying to play our best game of the year.

“We’re still making a few too many mistakes that stop ourselves on some drives or continue drives for the opponent. If we start eliminating some of our mistakes or start making a few more plays, we’ll be in a much more competitive situation.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com

DeSales Roundup

Alguire leads girls soccer team

By DAVE PURPURA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

Grace Alguire of the DeSales High School girls soccer team is at home by herself, behind all her teammates.

The senior plays the role of sweeper, the last line of defense before junior goalkeeper Katya Barrett. There are times when she acts as a goalie herself.

Alguire made at least one unofficial save in a 2-1 home loss to Granville – ranked first in the Division II state poll last week – on Sept. 26 by stopping a second-half shot before it reached the goal line. In a 1-0 overtime win over the Blue Aces in a district final last year, she helped block a shot late in the second half.

Those efforts are nothing special to Alguire, a two-year starter who also contributed to DeSales’ Division II state championship in 2011.

“I’m the last line,” she said.

“It’s all in or nothing.”

Even though Alguire isn’t particularly vocal, coach Matt d’Auteuil tabbed her to be sweeper shortly after he took over the team in April.

“She’s grown into a great sweeper, one of the better ones I’ve seen,” d’Auteuil said.

“She’s a lead-by-example player. Everything she does between practices, between running, she’s always first.

She’s the one out there showing everyone else how to do the drill. She may not be the most vocal leader, but she leads by example. That’s the kind of kid you want on this team.”

Such an effort has been both encouraged and necessary for the Stallions as they wait for senior forward Lydia Burke to return from a high-ankle sprain.

Below are the coming schedules for the DeSales cross country, boys soccer, girls soccer and girls volleyball teams: CROSS COUNTRY Oct. 5 – Jonathan Alder Invitational BOYS SOCCER Oct. 3 – At Dublin Coffman GIRLS SOCCER Oct. 3 – Home vs. Hilliard Bradley GIRLS VOLLEYBALL *Oct. 3 – Home vs. Watterson *Oct. 8 – At Columbus School for Girls *League contest Note: Results can be found at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

She is expected back within the next few weeks.

Sophomore midfielder/defender Paige Gilliland also is recovering from an injury.

The Stallions, who were ranked sixth in Division II last week, were 7-4-1 overall and 3-0 in the CCL before playing Watterson – which also was 30 in the league – on Oct. 1 in the league finale for both teams.

“We are put together with bandages and tape right now,” d’Auteuil said.

DeSales’ defense has consisted primarily of Alguire,

seniors Kathleen Carpenter, Erin Kuisti and Annamaria Pagani and sophomore Jenna Hohman. Carpenter plays the role of stopper.

The Stallions, who played Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown to a 2-all tie on Sept.

28, had allowed 13 goals through 12 games.

“We struggled in the beginning, but it’s clicking now,” Alguire said. “I know we’ve struggled some on offense, but we’re using that as momentum to prove ourselves (as a defense).”

Senior Danny Helin shot a 76 to help power the boys golf team to a second-place finish in a Division II sectional Sept. 24 at Granville Golf Course.

The Stallions shot a 318 to place behind Caledonia River Valley (313), as Bexley (332) secured the third and final district-qualifying spot.

The top three teams and top three individuals not on qualifying teams at district Sept.

30 at River Greens advanced to state Oct. 11 and 12 at NorthStar.

Sophomore Kyle Ransom shot a 79 at sectional for the Stallions. Also scoring were senior Ben Dumm (80) and juniors Chris Modie (81) and Jacob Erwin (91).

The Affordable Care Act – Open enrollment began Oct. 1,

An exchange, as created under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is a place where consumers can purchase subsidized health insurance coverage. Each state will have an exchange, operated by either the federal government or by the state.

Each state’s exchange must begin offering coverage January 1, 2014 and will begin accepting enrollment October 1, 2013. Consumers applying that qualify for Medicaid will be referred to the state’s Medicaid program.

Qualified individuals include U.S. citizens and legal immigrants who are not incarcerated, and who do not have access to affordable employer coverage or other public coverage. While anyone can purchase, only certain individuals have access to federal subsidies.

The ACA also provides separate Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) exchanges for small businesses (fewer than 50 employees) to obtain health coverage for their employees. It is important to note

Football

Training evolves as programs look for edge their own now. ... These (private trainers) are bringing in a whole new expertise.”

The idea of combining weightlifting, gymnastics and aerobic conditioning with elements such as kettleballs, also known as CrossFit, is something Tooson and others believe has begun to influence the preparation of players.

Licking Valley coach Randy Baughman said he has seen an increase in the emphasis on conditioning, weight training and nutrition.

“Things go in cycles,” said

Baughman, who is in his 32nd season. “Now I think we’re back to strengthening the total body. It used to be that you’d specialize in specific muscles.

We’ll even use things outside like tires, logs, (large) rocks, anything we can use to make them stronger and so that they don’t get bored.”

Reynoldsburg coach Buddy White always has been a believer in circuit training, which features high-intensity aerobics and targets strength building and muscular endurance.

Others, like Pickerington Central coach Jay Sharrett, focus on traditional techniques in muscle building such as benching and squatting.

“We’re doing a lot of the same lifts we’ve always done, but they’re doing them at a higher level of intensity, which gives them confidence in themselves,” White said.

“In the good old days, you’d just send them to the weight room and let them go at it.

Now we’re more concerned with doing the lifts correctly.”

Pickerington North coach

Tom Phillips, who has been coaching since the late 1980s, agrees with Tooson that more of his athletes are using trainers outside his program than ever before.

North, like Northland, also does weight training twice a week during the season.

“I tell them that if you (train) outside (the program) to make sure it complements what we’re doing,” Phillips said. “I think kids are just doing more than they used to. It all comes back

TRAINING >> B6

Methods with purpose

While Northland has a typical preseason regimen of lifting mixed with practices, its players spend two days a week in the weight room once the season starts.

Vikings coach Kevin Tooson figures it’s best for his players to continue adding strength on days they’re not playing or practicing the sport.

“When you get them, you might as well make them stronger,” said Tooson, who is in his 11th season. “We lift more than we’ve done in the past during the season. Kids receive better training than they did 10 years ago. You’ve got kids that go to strength and conditioning people on

There are the bragging rights that go along with winning a competition among teammates, and then there are rib dinners.

Worthington Kilbourne High School senior football player Joe Schick was happy to enjoy both after his “team” won a conditioning contest last spring.

According to Schick, the football program put together six teams of about 10 players, and each team earned points for attending weightlifting and conditioning sessions.

“We have this policy where you have to hit a certain number of workouts, and the winner gets a rib dinner by coach (Vince Trombetti),” said Schick, a 6-foot-2, 260-pound center. “You have a draft to come up with who is on your team, and my team finally won this year.”

For programs like Kilbourne, which has competed in Division I in its six playoff appearances but now has the fourth-smallest male enrollment among the OCC’s 32 schools and is in Division II, making conditioning more enjoyable has become essential in keeping up with the competition.

Although the methods of physical preparation remain up for debate at the prep level, no one disputes the importance of being as fit as possible when it comes to staying healthy and adding quickness and strength on the field.

“You talk to five different guys and you’ll get five different opinions (on training techniques),” DeSales coach Ryan Wiggins said. “The main thing is that in football you want to be explosive for five or six seconds. What you’re

trying to do is go strong from point A to point B. We still put a heavy emphasis on the weight room and I know many schools now are using a strength and conditioning coach. It was never that way in the old days.”

While Kilbourne’s emphasis on the weight room isn’t new to its program, Trombetti said focusing on conditioning has had exceptional results on his current team.

The Wolves, who finished 3-7 a year ago, are 4-1 and have won four in a row. Their loss was by one point to 2012 Division I playoff-qualifier Dublin Scioto, 22-21 in their opener Aug. 30.

“We’ve got a pretty structured offseason program, and our seniors have done a great job leading by example,” Trombetti said. “(Our workouts) have allowed us to, most importantly, stay healthier, and it allows us to do things we haven’t done before because we’re bigger, we’re certainly faster and we’ve become stronger.”

Cooper runs season best for Blendon The Blendon Middle School boys cross country team defeated Gahanna South 24-31 to raise its record to 63-27. Ryan Cooper finished first in 11:30, the team’s fastest time of the season. Russell Montemarano, Austin Ebbrecht, Michael Hallman and Nathan Ware were fourth through seventh, respectively.

The boys finished seventh of 43 teams in the Lancaster Invitational. Hallman was 38th of 250 runners, followed by Ebbrecht (53rd), Cooper (59th), Montemarano (63rd) and Josh Houston (80th). Winning the open championship were Ware, Chris Heermann, Will Steele, Bayden Jung and Jack Parker, as they outran 35 teams.

The girls team beat Gahanna South 26-29 to improve to 47-37. Grace Livingston placed second (13:11), followed by Trinity Trimble (third), Mikayla Remington (sixth), Abby Jung (seventh) and Jordan Monsul (eighth).

The girls were 11th of 39 teams at Lancaster, led by Livingston (57th), Remington (60th) and Jung (68th). In the open race, Kaeli Knight was 28th of 300 runners.

The golf team shot its best score of the season with a 175, but lost to Bexley. Leading the Bulldogs were medalist Troy Taylor (30) and Ethan Hollern, Parker Degler and Simon Chaney.

The team shot a 189 to defeat Johnstown and Heritage, as Taylor was medalist (34) and Shane Hubbell shot his personal-best.

The seventh-grade volleyball team fell to Gahanna South 26-24, 25-13 but the Bulldogs led the first game 22-19, as Robin Heft and Tealor Storts had six service points each.

Cameron Calhoun, Miquela Hampton and Hannah Holbrook were other standouts.

Mitzi Steck, Marley Mitchell and Rachael Bielby stood out as the eighth-grade volleyball team lost to Gahanna South in two games. Worthington Kilbourne football players Daniel Stricker (left) and Alex Meehan work out in the school’s weight room on Sept. 25. CHRIS PARKER/THISWEEKSPORTS

which he credits to the new workout format.

Marysville, he said, had a few hip flexor injuries last season but has not seen a re-occurrence of them this fall.

According to Trombetti, each athlete at Kilbourne, regardless of sport, uses a set of core lifts as well as a set of “auxiliary” lifts based on the sport.

“I think from a physical standpoint, we’re waking up the next morning a lot less sore,” Schick said.

One of the biggest turnarounds among central Ohio programs a year ago involved Ready, which went 7-3 and made the Division IV playoffs after finishing 4-6 the previous two seasons.

That success has continued this fall, as the Silver Knights have started 5-0.

The biggest credit for the success might have to do with the weight-training regimen that began after Joel Cutler took over as coach in 2012.

Cutler and his brother, Kyle, who is an assistant at Ready, have an extensive background in strength and conditioning.

Silver Knights senior running back Akili Taylor, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards last year, passed the 1,000-yard mark in week five this season. He carries about 195 pounds on his 5-9 frame after weighing about 180 a year ago.

The results of focusing on conditioning, Taylor believes, have been worth it.

“I definitely put on a lot of muscle,” he said. “It’s why I’m healthy now and it helps that I’m heavier and can run through tackles better. I’m a lot stronger, bigger and faster.”

After injuries and a 1-5 start doomed his team to a 3-7 finish during his first season last fall, Marysville coach Morgan Cotter traveled last winter to talk to Cal Dietz at the University of Minnesota.

Dietz, a Shelby native, doesn’t specialize in football training but heads the strength and conditioning programs for several sports for the Golden Gophers. He co-authored a book about speed and strength performance.

Among the focuses of Dietz’s advice were adding plyometrics, which are jump-training exercises that force muscles to exert maximum force in a short time with the goal of increasing speed and power.

After instituting many of those ideas into his program during the offseason, the Monarchs have started 4-1.

“We got back in the weight room and changed some of the things we were doing,” Cotter said. “As a football coach, I feel real comfortable talking Xs and Os. But in the weight room, I’m not a personal trainer and don’t know all of the physiology. I talked to a couple different college weight-training programs about what we needed to do and we revamped our program to more fieldspecific movements. We still bench and we still squat, but we don’t power-clean anymore. We’ve put a lot of plyometrics and … exercises in.”

In addition to an improved record this season, Cotter has seen a decrease in injuries, julrey@thisweeknews.com

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen

HAVING A BLAST

There is little doubt that long-term exposure to loud noise or even a single exposure to exceedingly loud sound can cause hearing damage. Widespread knowledge of this fact has led many to avoid listening to loud music on iPods and to limit attendance to loud concerts and other venues. However, there is one source of recreational noise exposure that exceeds all others in terms of damage done to hearing. Firing guns, whether for hunting or target practice, is a sport enjoyed by millions of Americans, young and old and men and women. With the loud noise (approximately 130-180 dB) that firing guns (especially rifles) engenders so close to the ears, gun enthusiasts are strongly encouraged to protect their hearing.

It’s possible that a single gunshot heard by an unprotected ear can lead to immediate and permanent hearing loss. Always use proper hearing and eye protection when firing a firearm. Most hearing losses can be helped by individually selected, prescribed, and fitted hearing aids. If you or a family member are not hearing as well as you could, please call us at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complimentary hearing & speech reception evaluation. Many of our patients have discovered that traveling to Gahanna was worth the drive. We are First in Class on Angie’s 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. We are located at 1000 Morrison Road Suite H, Gahanna. Come see why patients are willing to make the drive to invest in their hearing. We look forward to hearing from you.
