School board approves five levy options
WEA gives up $1.7M in salaries, benefits By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Westerville Education Association will give up $1.7 million in salaries and benefits to help ease the nearly $3-million budget deficit the Westerville City School District faces at the end of this fiscal year. The association, which represents the district’s 1,030 teachers and licensed personnel, voted last week on the concession package, said WEA president Chris Williams. “All of the employee labor groups are looking at what they can do,” Williams said. He said opinions among members varied widely about whether this was the right solution, or whether the union should be doing more or less to help with the budget deficit. Ultimately, Williams said, employees wanted to help save jobs from potential cuts. “That was, for some people, a huge driver,” he said. Though the WEA has agreed to freeze salaries in the past, this marks the first time the union has chosen to give money back, Williams said. The union decided not to disclose precisely where the money is coming from — cuts to costof-living increases, step increases or benefits, Williams said. He said he hopes the concessions show the community that the school district is willing to do all it can to keep costs low while seeking a new levy.

Westerville voters likely will see a school levy on the November ballot, but it remains to be seen what that tax will look like. The Westerville Board of Education approved five levy options at its July 25 meeting. Those options will be sent to the Franklin and Delaware county auditors for certification later this week. The board then will vote, likely at its Aug. 8 meeting, to select a levy to be sent to the county boards of elections for the Nov. 8 ballot. The board passed resolutions to have a 1-percent earned-income tax and a 7.9-mill property tax levy certified by the county auditors. The 7.9-mill property tax would cost voters an additional $242 annually per $100,000 of assessed property value. The earned-income tax would apply to anyone living within the Westerville City School District but would not be applied to Social Security, pension or investment income. The remaining three levy options approved for certification by the board would take advantage of a type of levy recently approved by the state. They would combine an income tax with a property tax into one issue on the ballot. Those options included: • A 0.5-percent earned-income tax and a $10-million property-tax levy, which would be about 3.9 mills. • A 0.75-percent earned-income tax and a $7.3million property tax, which would be about 2.9 mills. • A 0.75-percent earned-income tax and $5-million property tax, which would be about 1.9 mills. All of the options aim to close a nearly $3-million See LEVY OPTIONS, page A2
State budget cuts for Westerville aren’t as bad as expected By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Westerville officials knew the city would see cuts in funding from the state when a new budget was passed by Ohio legislators this year, but the cuts were not nearly as bad as expected.
During the city’s budgeting process last fall, staff and council members braced themselves for significant cuts to the amount of money the city receives through the state’s Local Government Fund. “The staff had planned appropriately from the September budget. When they planned the budget, they planned for the
drop-off,” city finance director Lee Ann Shortland said. “We try to err on the conservative side. We knew Local Government Funds would be decreasing.” The city anticipated a decrease of about $350,000 in the Local Government Fund for 2011, Shortland said, but that number actually will be closer to $10,000.
“We’re doing a little better than we expected, which is normal for Westerville, but it is going to be lower than it has been in the past,” Shortland said. The city receives about $1.7 million from the Local Government Fund each year. The money goes to the Westerville’s general fund to pay for things such as
public safety, public works and other basic government functions The city does forecast losing another 25 percent of its Local Government Fund money in 2012, she said. One area the city knows will be hurt See BUDGET CUTS, page A2
Griffith to make $133,000 plus benefits as district treasurer By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Bart Griffith will serve as the new financial head of the Westerville City School District. The Westerville Board of Education approved a three-year contract July 25 with Griffith, who currently serves as treasurer of the Hudson City School District. The contract allows for a $133,000 annual salary. That tops the salary approved for former treasurer Scott Gooding in December, which was $109,000 per year. Griffith’s contract also allows for a $100-per-month personal communication allowance, a $400-per-month car allowance and up to $7,500 in reimburse-
ments for any costs associated with Griffith relocating to Westerville. Griffith will be eligible for raises during Bart Griffith the three years through an agreement with the board, the contract said. Griffith has served as the treasurer of the Hudson City School District since 2007. He also served as treasurer of the Mansfield City School District from 2003 through 2006, of the Lexington Local School District from 1994 to 1998 and of the Lakewood Local School District from 1993 to 1994. Before that, he held several
posts in the private sector. Griffith earned a bachelor’s degree from Ohio State University, a master’s degree in education and school finance, and a master’s in business administration from Ashland University. “He brings a wealth of experience, experience in city districts like ours,” said board member Kevin Hoffman, who helped lead the hiring process. “As we went through the interview process, we could see that this is a gentleman who appreciates a challenge and values education.” The board went through a months-long process in finding a replacement for Gooding, who announced his resignation in

LEVY OPTIONS Continued from page A1 budget shortfall at the end of this fiscal year, which is expected to balloon to a nearly $20-million budget shortfall by the end of fiscal year 2013. The board had to vote to send levy options to the county auditors for certification by July 29. Members said they chose to approve several options for certification to give themselves more time to mull over which levy they will seek in November. “We are facing a deadline, so bringing these (multiple) resolutions forward and approving different resolutions will allow for further discussion,” board president Kristi Robbins said. To appear on the Nov. 8 ballot, the board must send a levy to the boards of election by Aug. 10. Even with a levy, board members acknowledged that they will need to make approximately $16million in budget cuts to keep the Westerville district financially solvent through the end of fiscal year 2015.
WEA Continued from page A1 tional $242 annually per $100,000 of assessed property value. The concessions, spread among all of the WEA’s members, would cost each employee about $1,700, Williams said. “At least this is something where our people feel they’re giving their fair share,” he said. Also to help with the budget deficit, the union members agreed to adjust the pay schedule to have employees paid 24 times in fiscal year 2012 rather than the usual 26 times per year. In fiscal year 2012, employees were scheduled to be paid 27 times, something that happens every seven years. By going to 24 pays this year, the additional $1-million cost that would have come with the 27th pay period would pushed out of this year’s budget to next year, which could allow the district to end fiscal year 2012 in the black without making further cuts, Williams said. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

With all of the levy options presented, the district still would see deficits of between $9 million and $12 million by the end of fiscal year 2015. Board member Kevin Hoffman said his goal would be to balance cuts and a levy to generate a cash balance of about $5 million by the end of that year. “There needs to be shared sacrifice here,” balancing a levy and cuts, Hoffman said. Superintendent Dan Good said the district is running so efficiently that any cuts will be felt by staff, students and parents. “Any reductions are significant reductions at this point,” Good told the board. “I want to make sure every board member understands” how severe up to $16-million reductions would be. Several residents spoke during the public-comment portion of the meeting, some supporting the decision to seek a levy and others asking for deeper cuts to avoid taxing residents more. Nancy McFarland said she thinks the district already is running efficiently, earning the high-
est marks on state report cards while paying teachers less and spending less per pupil than other central Ohio school districts. “It worries me in the direction that our community is going with our schools,” McFarland said. “Please consider not cutting another dime in this school district.” John Gilmartin said he’s supported school levies in the past, but his property taxes have risen from about $3,800 a year when he moved to the district eight years ago to about $4,800. If another property-tax levy is approved, his taxes would climb to about $5,800 a year, he said. “That’s not bad if you’re making $100,000 a year, but that’s 20 percent of my pension income. We used to think, don’t spend more than 25 percent of your income on your home loan,” he said. “I would urge you — not only for ourselves, we’ll get by — but for other retired people, think of the amount of money.”

BUDGET CUTS Continued from page A1 is in the estate tax, Shortland said. Effective in 2013, that revenue will be pulled out of the city’s budget. Shortland said the estate tax generated $460,000 in 2010 and $250,000 thus far in 2011. Westerville will begin its budgeting process for 2012 in September, when Westerville City Council returns from its summer break. Between now and then, Shortland said, the city’s staff will be looking more closely at the state funding numbers and what impact they will have on Westerville’s
next annual budget and its fiveyear financial forecast. “Throughout the summer, we’ll be putting together additional information to update that information,” Shortland said. Overall, the state budget numbers for Westerville are positive because the city took proactive measures to prepare for cuts, such as reducing the amount of money being spent on capital-improvement projects, she said. “We budgeted conservatively,” she said. “We cut the budget. It looks like we’re going to hit the mark for Local Government (Fund money) and exceed what we projected.”
GRIFFITH Continued from page A1 April. In May and June, board members set a list of priorities and characteristics they were looking for in a treasurer, then followed that with a community survey to see what priorities and characteristics the community sought. Through June and July, the board held several rounds of interviews for the position, which
included panels of community members, community leaders, district staff and administration. The district was led through the process by a consultant from the Ohio School Boards Association. Griffith will assume his new post on Aug. 15, and over the next few weeks, he will work with interim treasurer Steve Huzicko to learn about Westerville’s finances, Hoffman said.

National Night Out
16 area neighborhoods to participate By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Residents of 16 Westerville neighborhoods will take to the streets Aug. 2 to have a good time while sending a message to criminals: You’re not welcome here. The scheduled block parties are part of National Night Out, which will run from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. The 27-year-old program bills itself as “America’s Night Out Against Crime” and aims to raise awareness about crime and drug prevention, support local crime-prevention efforts, strengthen neighborhood spirit and the ties between neighborhood groups and local police, and send a message that neighborhoods are organized to fight crime. As the events are organized by individual
groups, events during National Night Out will vary, but include potlucks, hula-hoop contests, music, face-painting, raffles, flashlight walks, tricycle races and balloon launches. Representatives from the Westerville Division of Police will be on hand during National Night Out events to socialize, bring visitors such as Officer Friendly and PC the Patrol Car, and to provide canine demonstrations. Sites for Westerville’s National Night Out celebration this year include: • Hannah Mayne Park at Glenwood Drive and Cherry Street. • 95 Mariemont Drive North. • Planet Westerville at Huber Village Park, 362 Huber Village Blvd., from 6 to 8:30 p.m. • 821 Applewood Lane, off of Huber Vil-
Heat sends swimmers to center’s indoor pool By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The city of Westerville felt some of the heat last week as temperatures peaked in the upper 90s and heat indexes topped 100 degrees. The heat wave didn’t cause any serious problems for the city, said Westerville spokeswoman Christa Dickey, but the temperatures did slow some city construction projects. “(The heat) does slow production down a little and makes it much harder to complete concrete work,” city engineer Scott Tourville said. “We did fall a little behind schedule on concrete work because of the heat.” The city’s Electric Division did have some power outages to deal with over the weekend as storms rolled through the area, Dickey said. And the hot temperatures did cause more people to head to the indoor pool at the Westerville Community Center last week, Westerville Parks and Recreation Department director Randy Auler said. “Our numbers were up. With it being hotter outside, people are obviously wanting to stay a little cooler,” he said. Auler estimated that crowds at the community center pool exceeded 500 during the afternoons last week, which does include groups of day campers who use the pool a few times week. The heat had the opposite effect at the outdoor Highlands Park Aquatic Center, Auler said. Daily attendance at the center had averaged around 1,500 people a day, Auler said, but last week, attendance numbers averaged only around 1,100 people a day. “The numbers were actually down a little at Highlands Aquatic center because it was so hot outside,” he said. “I thought we might have a huge turnout at the aquatic center, but it was so hot people didn’t really want to be outside.” Forecasters were predicting relief from the heat this week, as a cold front was expected to bring lower humidity and slightly lower temperatures. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com

Preschool program created for local church By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A casual suggestion from one of their husbands led two Westerville women to a new business venture: running their own preschool at Westerville Christian Church. Two years ago, Linda Cochran and Amy Pressler heard Tree of Life Christian Schools would no longer offer its preschool program at Westerville Christian Church, where the women are members. They were out to dinner with their husbands when Pressler’s husband suggested that the pair, both preschool teachers, open their own preschool within the church. “We laughed and said, ‘Right,’ but then it started to take root,” Cochran said. Over the next few months, she and Pressler worked on a business plan for such a school and presented it to church leaders. “The church has been wonderful, very supportive, and the building is just perfect,” Cochran said. “It needs small children in it. It was built as an outreach to
families.” Cochran has worked in Westerville preschools for the past 16 years, and Pressler for the last six. They combined that experience with their experiences as parents. “We both know the Westerville preschool landscape,” Cochran said. “We know it from a parent’s standpoint. We know it from a teacher’s standpoint; now we’re learning about it from a director’s standpoint.” The result of the last two years’ work for Pressler and Cochran is the preschool program SPARK, an acronym for “spiritual, playful, artistic, resourceful kids.” The program will offer classes for 3- and 4-year-olds, along with an enrichment program for kindergarten students. It already has 45 students enrolled and five staff members. The pre-kindergarten program will take children around the world, studying a different culture each week, Cochran said. See SPARK, page A7

Commentary and opinion
Letters
Schools should be ‘cutting back’ To the editor: I write to comment on the July 21 article concerning the Westerville Board of Education’s considering a variety of funding and cost-cutting approaches. I noticed one method under scrutiny is an income tax. This caught my eye because I recalled attending a board meeting a couple of years ago, during which I suggested that very thing. I was tired of retirees like me forever being asked to shoulder the burden of increased real estate taxes, when our ability to pay was stagnated. I was told by the board that an income tax was an unlikely source of funding because surrounding school districts had to agree or have similar funding. Has this requirement been negated by a new law or was this merely a convenient dismissal? In view of the recent opinions of certain citizens groups, I suspect that they may be right when expressing the opinion that the board isn’t paying attention. To carry this message a bit further, I believe that we should not be considering alternative funding now, but cutting back. I wonder if the employees of the district wouldn’t follow the lead of other districts and agree to reducing salaries and benefits. It has been my observation during years of a variety of volunteer efforts in several of the district elementary schools, that most teachers and staff are dedicated people. Can the district as a whole agree that the time for moderation between quality and cost has come? Don Denton Westerville
sector counterparts, who he says “have lost their jobs,” or “had wages, benefits, and hours cut.” Does Clay not know that many thousands of Ohio public employees have lost their jobs or had their wages, benefits and hours cut? For example, in early 2009, state of Ohio employee unions agreed — through collective bargaining — to a two-year pay freeze, 10 unpaid furlough days per year and no personal leave accrual. Similar sacrifices, including paying a higher share of healthcare costs, have been made by local government employees across the state. What comparable sacrifices have been made by employees of Chase Bank, the Limited or other large employers in the area? Critics of public employees never tell us this. There has always been an element in America that has opposed workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively. Today’s right-wing assault on public employees, much of it bankrolled by the billionaire Koch brothers and media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and exemplified by Senate Bill 5, is just the latest chapter in the story. This November, we the electorate will have the opportunity to inform the anti-government, antipublic employee movement that we appreciate the benefits of our government — our schools, libraries, police and fire protection, highways, a safety net for those in need, and the dedicated employees, our friends, neighbors and relatives, who work in state and local government. Vote to repeal S.B. 5. Tom Severns Westerville
Public employees make ‘sacrifices’ To the editor: A letter in ThisWeek Westerville published July 21 typifies the misleading anti-public employee propaganda being promulgated by various anti-government groups and individuals of late. The writer, Roderick Clay of Westerville, begins with the assertion that public union employee compensation (wages, benefits and perks) is out of line with that of non-government employees. As in every other attack on public employees I’ve seen, absolutely no evidence is offered to support this claim. In fact I have seen numerous studies comparing private and public sector compensation, and none has found a significant disparity. Then Clay proceeds to claim that public employees have not suffered along with their private-
Combined efforts made festival a success To the editor: Westerville residents, several city departments and local and area businesses rallied around the 38th annual Music & Arts Festival. The Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to coordinate and offer a quality Music and Fine Arts Festival for all to enjoy. We are blessed with so many members that donate time, financial and in-kind resources to plan the festival.

layed from chamber staff, board members and many volunteers throughout the course of the planning process and festival weekend. Our community takes a very active interest in the festival. The volunteer efforts at the event are crucial and are the lifeblood of the festival. It is because of these volunteers that we receive comments from exhibitors that the festival is “one of the best run festivals” and has “some of the most helpful people assisting with the event.” We are most appreciative to the city parks and recreation department, Senior Citizen Center, Fire/EMS, electric and water departments. This Music & Arts Festival is an ideal example of how government, area business community and the general public can work together to showcase our community. The Westerville City Schools District, Roy Lawson of Trimble Insurance, Laura Stimmel of Delaware County Bank, and S&M Rent-A-Space all are involved in assisting the chamber with the logistics of the festival. It is a model of which to be proud, demonstrating how several key service entities and businesses can come together to support a large event. Organizations that made significant financial and in-kind contributions as event sponsors are; AAA-Ohio Auto Club,Asset Management Consultants Inc., Associated Insurance Agencies, Chase, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Westerville Close to Home Center, CME Federal Credit Union, Feridean Commons Senior Housing, Fred Astaire, Human Resource Services, Immediate Health Urgent Care Centers at Westar, Iron Pony Motorsports, KEMBA Financial Credit Union, Morgan’s Treasure Custom Jewelry, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital, Classic Hits 103.9, OhioHealth Westerville Medical Campus, Roush Honda, the Village of Westerville Retirement Center, S & M RentA-Space, Westerville News & Public Opinion (Suburban News Publication), Westerville Public Library, Otterbein University, Sam’s Club and Kroger. This year’s festival chair, Bob Gibson, TRIAD Architects, and steering committee members Jason Bechtold, Jean Halpin, Jill Beck, Maggie Ellison, Jennifer Farris, Dr. Jan Fedorenko, Emily Hickman, Chief Bernie Ingles, Vincent Neal, Laura Stimmel and close to 75 other volunteers representing area businesses, are paramount to the festival. From artists’ assistants, hosts and hostesses, set-up and tear-down to auction assistants, parking attendants and youth exhibit and silent auction sitters, there is a volunteer opportunity for everyone. The behind-the-scenes efforts and dedication of the chamber staff is greatly appreciated: Lindsay Brown, Erin Glaser, Mashawn Stroh and Sharon Anthony. On a personal note, I have been involved with the festival for 27 years in some capacity: a volunteer, member of the steering committee, festival chair and now honored to be part of the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce staff. It is an event unique for a community of our size and I think brings a sense of pride to showcase the great partnerships and volunteer spirit in the city of Westerville.

The Furniture Heartland www.furnitureheartland.com
Have a "Mission" this summer
M
ission furniture was a name first coined by Joseph McHugh, a New York furniture manufacturer and retailer, to describe his line of straight line rustic style furniture that he began producing in 1895. The mission style furniture design was based on a chair that had been designed for the Swedenborgian Church of New Jerusalem in San Francisco. The word “mission” references the Spanish missions throughout colonial California.The style became increasingly popular following the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901. Mission furniture caught on as a generic term for the style of furniture and also the European term “arts and crafts” was used. Mission style is a design that emphasizes simple horizontal and
vertical lines and flat panels that accentuate the grain of the wood (usually oak). This style was also part of the Arts and Crafts movement which was inspired by the writings of John Ruskin and the romanticism that surrounded craftsmen that took pride in his own personal handiwork. The Arts and Crafts movement occurred both with the British and in the Americas, and it is great to know that furniture that dated back into such important eras of history are still popular today. The irony of the mission style furniture icon of the Arts and Crafts movement has been reversed of its original meaning in that it is now mass produced and merchandised, and thus loosing some of its uniqueness that people originally sought. Nevertheless, it is still a beautiful piece of furniture designed as such to add nice lines and art to a person’s home. By recognizing the mission style, homeowner’s recognize the style
that has lasted through the times. Mission arts and crafts has blended well from the 19th century all the way to the current 21st century in terms of interior design and décor. Characterized by clean, straight lines, geometric shapes, natural elements and handcrafted pieces, common materials associated with this decorating style include wrought iron, stained glass and hardwood.

Dublin Irish Festival runs Aug. 5-7 By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The 24th annual Dublin Irish Festival at Coffman Park next weekend will feature a full slate of music, cultural activities, sports, food and dancing with a Celtic twist. The festival runs Aug. 5-7 in Coffman Park, which is transformed into more than 29 acres of Irish entertainment and activities. The event will include 65 acts on seven different stages with both singers and dancers. “Returning favorites in the entertainment lineup are Gaelic Storm,” events administrator Mary Jo DiSalvo said. “This is their eighth time. They were the group that played in ‘Titanic.’We’ve also got a returning favorite, the Step Crew. They’re a touring dance act. They have fancy footwork and fantastic fiddling.” New to the lineup this year is Goitse & the Elders. A new element at the Irish rock stage will let visitors get closer to the bands. “We have a stage-side screen on the side of the Killian’s Irish rock stage. People can see the screen from a greater distance,” DiSalvo said. “We’re doing that this year because it brings the entertainers closer to the audience. People can see up close and personal.”
While Irish dancing will be featured on stage, the Columbus Feis will be held across Coffman Road at Coffman High School. A winners parade will be held at 8:30 p.m. Aug. 6 on the Irish Thunder Stage. Festival visitors also can learn a little bit about Irish dance. “Throughout the weekend, if people are interested, they can go to the Ceili dance tent to learn the steps for themselves,” DiSalvo said. The festival also will feature children’s activities in the Wee Folks area. “The Wendy’s Wee Folk area is extremely popular year in and year out,” DiSalvo said. Children could do crafts, play on bounce games provided by SuperGames or check out some entertainment, events manager Alison LeRoy said. “We have a variety to hit different age groups,” LeRoy said. “For the youngest age group, we have a little area of free games for toddlers in the east Coffman shelter house. We do wristbands for the Pot o’ Gold play land, where SuperGames is. That’s $10 for a wristband. Last year, we let kids pan for different jewels in the river. It was popular last year.” Children also could create hats and crowns or shamrock bracelets and sunglasses in the craft area. On stage, Pirate MacGregor,
who tells tales of Irish pirates, and Candace Mazur-Darman are popular acts, LeRoy said. “Candace gets kids involved on stage, and they help create the story,” she said. Elsewhere on the grounds are chances to shop, taste some Irish fare and drink. Cultural experiences also are available at Brian Boru’s Ireland, showing what the emerald isle was like 1,000 years ago. Festival-goers could check out tents that teach about an Irish wake, genealogy and tools used to make linen and wool. Irish sports events will be held in the greenfields area and will include the Hyland Heavy Weight games Aug. 6. Aug. 7 will include Sunday morning services, including Irish Mass, traditional Mass, an interdenominational service and Druids service. In lieu of tickets, guests may enter the festival for free until 11 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 7, if they bring a nonperishable food item for the Dublin Food Pantry. DiSalvo said last year’s collection netted more than 10,000 pounds of food for the local food pantry. Aug. 7 also will include the annual Irish contests of reddest hair, most freckles and greenest eyes at 3 p.m. For the first time, a “best legs in a kilt” contest will be held at 6 p.m.

Continued from page A3 Within those social studies lessons, the school will present lessons in math and language arts. The preschool also has a gym, an indoor playground with a two-story play structure and child-sized climbing wall, a playground and sports field outside and a large art gallery and workshop space for large art projects, Pressler said. Another thing that will set the preschool apart from others, Cochran said, is the focus on the Christian faith. “Our plan is to incorporate, on their level, on a 3-year-old’s level, the concept that God loves them and to weave that through everything they do,” Cochran said. That philosophy will go beyond the usual reading of Bible stories, praying and singing Christian songs, Cochran said, by involving God’s love in the children’s school day. “We are also very excited about our spiritual emphasis, which is geared to help the students know, and show, God’s love in their world,” Pressler said. Most importantly, Cochran said, the program aims to create a positive learning environment for students to prepare them for the years of school that lie ahead of them. “These kids have a long educational road ahead of them. They have a lot of years ahead of them,” she said. “If we can show them that school is fun and good things happen there, we’re setting them up for success.” More information about SPARK is available online at www.sparkpreschool.com. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

BONUS: As a Critic Crony once said (and we paraphrase), “It’s the biggest gol-durn fair in the world.” The reference was to the Ohio State Fair, which gets under way this week. KE$HA gets the entertainment slate under way today (Thursday, July 28) and the rest of the schedule has, as always, a little something for everyone, highlighted by: Seether, July 31; David Crowder Band, Aug. 1; Loretta Lynn and the Oak Ridge Boys, Aug. 2; Journey/Foreigner/ Night Ranger, Aug. 5; and Melissa Etheridge, Aug. 6. Brad Paisley headlines the final-night show at Crew Stadium Sunday, Aug. 7. And we’re especially excited to see Meat Loaf on the schedule for our birthday — not a reference to our obsession with fair food. Visit www. ohiostate fair. com for all Meat Loaf the details.
And he wants to play the old songs. “Our newest thing, to us, is always the most urgent,” the bassist for the Goo Goo Dolls told The Beat. “We’ve started playing Sweetest Lie (first track on the band’s latest CD, Something for the Rest of Us) during our ‘charge up songs’ to open the set. A lot of times, people don’t know those songs as well, because we also use some early songs in there, too.” Turns out he wants to play all the songs. “When we get to Slide, it’s often the first song people know really well,” he said. “And if you don’t play Black Goo Goo Dolls Balloon or Iris, someone’s going to be upset, and we don’t want that to Goo Goo Dolls, with openers Michelle Branch happen.

Milestone 229: Come for the views, stay for the food The food could have totally been beside the point at Milestone 229. Born lucky in an expensively rehabbed neighborhood loaded with stunning things to gawk at, Milestone could have skated by on its good looks and its eye-candy setting: the people magnet that is the impressive new Scioto Mile development. Speaking of Scioto Mile, on one side of Milestone is a showpiece waterpark where highly stimulated kids run wildly through elaborately alternating spurts of water and adults stare in wonder. At night, the modern, sculptural, halo-like fountains ethereally produce fog, become a thrilling and hypnotic light show and are sometimes the watery screen for filmic projections. On the opposite side of Milestone are the most spectacular vistas of downtown Columbus visible from any eatery. Really, to sit on Milestone’s big, looping one-of-a-kind patio is to realize how sexy our city can be.
MENU by G. A. BENTON Cleverly, this restaurant — which is run by the Columbus Brewing Company folks — is constructed along swooping arcs that echo those halo-form fountains. Elliptical, expansive and roomy, Milestone 229 is a neat-looking, modernist metal-and-glass building. And its patio has clearly upped the ante on scenic outdoor eating in central Ohio. But Milestone is not just another pretty face. Because though its mob-attracting location would’ve ensured a captive audience even if it served awful food, Milestone’s gone the extra … er, mile and hired a real chef (Rigsby’s veteran Christian Hattemer) who’s fashioned an allAmerican, local- and fine-ingredientsourcing menu. While Milestone’s food is hardly daring, it is carefully prepared,

scratch-made stuff that aims for, and consistently hits, the familiar-disheswith-chef’s-flourishes target. The house cocktails ($9) follow a similar trajectory. Made with very good ingredients, none I tried were stinkers, but my favorite has been the perfectly named seasonal cooler called Summer Splash (Watershed gin, muddled cu-
cumber and fresh lime in refreshing harmony). Appetizers are presented with fun and verve. They range from a heavy but pleasing Skillet Mac ‘n Cheese ($7.25, huge, with a lively cheese blend, smoky bacon and toasted panko breadcrumbs served in a black skillet) to the mandatory Calamari (wittily spilling out of a Chinese takeout container) to a mayorich and abundantly red-peppered Pimento Cheese dip ($7.25) to a neat medley called Wine Quartet ($10.50, salty olives, seasoned nuts, a decent beet and orange salad, and the upstaging star of a salmon mousse). There are also handmade, hearty and rustic pizzas on thick, crispy crusts (like a salty and pungent gorgonzola and roasted mushroom, $12.50). Entree salads were solid, too, like the Wild Alaskan Salmon ($13.50), with wasabi peas, a gingery dressing and a thick miso/peanuttype sauce. Entree-wise, I tried a perfectly cooked,

OK steak (Grilled Barrel Cut Sirloin, $22) with a suave hoochy sauce, topnotch green beans plus a nifty multiplepotato hash, and a fresh-tasting and attractively plated Potato Crusted Great Lakes Walleye ($22) with a golden crispy spud shell, asparagus and creamed corn sauce. While both were good, Milestone’s giant sandwiches (all about $10) were equally satisfying, yet a lot cheaper — and they arrive with nice, crisp fries, either vinegar-tinged or of the sweet potato variety. My favorite sandwich was the standout, banh-mi-accented Tempura Battered fish. Also easily gulpable were the Three Little Pigs Porkout and a heavily herbed homemade bratwurst burger. Inevitable ending: Milestone 229 — come for the views, stay for the food.
Independent yogurt shop gives fresh spin to frozen confection Fans of a hot trend, Joey Chong and her family decided to play it cool. Not an easy thing to do in 90degree weather. Devotees of frozen yogurt, they wanted to open a store but were unimpressed with the inflexibility of national chains. So they went out on their own. On Saturday, on yet another sweltering day in central Ohio, they opened Matcha in the restaurant-diverse Bethel Centre. The independent store plays to the desires of the customer, Chong said. “I have been helping my fam-
ily and relatives with their restaurant business for many years and now I get to try a different food,” she said. “It’s dessert. When the idea of opening a frozen-yogurt store came up from the family, I was very excited because I already had frozen yogurt a few times in the East Coast and loved it so much.” Matcha, a type of Japanese green tea, offers 10 flavors a day, from the traditional — vanilla and chocolate — to the more exotic — pomegranate-raspberry, mango and, of course, matcha. The plan is to rotate the flavors

often to see what customers favor, she said. Comment cards will be provided at the store. Matcha is self-serve. Customers are given a 16-ounce cup and can fill it with as many flavors and toppings as they desire. The price is 44 cents an ounce. The real gems, she said, are the toppings, which total more than 40. Again, there are the typical options, such as nuts, granola and M&Ms, plus others that are more likely to be found in a bubble-tea store, including coconut jellies, mochi (ice cream wrapped in a soft, thin Japanese rice cake), sweetened red and green beans and popping boba (tapioca pearls filled with fruit juice). Fruit will always be fresh, never mushy, she promised. “When I travel, I always look for something different or try some local restaurants,” she said. “We will keep searching around for more unique foods and toppings to serve with yogurt.” Matcha is among a new wave of frozen-yogurt purveyors in central Ohio, which includes Orange Leaf, Red Mango, Josie’s and Cuzzins. Dean Small, founder and managing partner Synergy Restaurant Consultants near San Diego,
said the resurgence of frozen yogurt can be attributed to a couple of factors. For starters, it is perceived as a healthier option than ice cream. Also, people tend to migrate toward indulgences in a bad economy. “Comfort food always plays well,” he said. Small likes the build-your-own option being offered by Matcha and other frozen-yogurt places. “You’re putting the onus on them to create their own little masterpiece,” he said. Still, he sees a danger in oversaturation and lack of creativity from some frozen-yogurt vendors. “Some of them just aren’t that innovative,” he said. “I still think that frozen yogurt is very popular,” he added. “I don’t see it going away any time soon.” Matcha seats 20 in 1,500 square feet of space at 1462 Bethel Road. It is open for lunch and dinner hours daily. For more information, call (614) 564-9154. Element Pizza is slated to open Aug. 1.

Learn at the Zoo Summer 2011: • Summer Day Camps: for ages 3-12 • Family Night Hikes
During the tiger training session you will see how our Keepers use the tiger’s favorite food, meatballs, to reward the tiger for a job well done. The tigers are trained to do some of the same things you would train your own pets to do such as standing up, sitting down, rolling over and showing their paws. The tigers are eager to learn and their activities allow the Keeper to see any health problems.
• Family Overnights • Twilight Tours • Guided Walking Tours (Daily) • Behind the Scene Tours (Daily)
If you can’t make it to our Keeper Talk don’t worry because seeing the tigers in their habitat is fun too. Tigers love the water and during the summer can be seen playing in their pools and streams. They also like to hangout in their cave which is air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen GOOD REASON NOT TO TAKE ASPIRIN Those afflicted with the phantom noise in their ears that no one else can hear (“tinnitus”) should know that this problem can be linked to aspirin consumption. Aspirin’s potential effect upon hearing was originally noted when the drug was first synthesized over a century ago. A warning of this potential effect may even have been on the aspirin bottle label. In any case, it is thought that salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin, can damage the cochlea in the inner ear. This potential side effect is more likely to occur at the higher daily doses taken for the treatment of chronic pain. However, occasional aspirin users have also reported tinnitus. The problem may cease when aspirin usage stops. The most common type of tinnitus is subjective tinnitus. Subjective tinnitus includes sounds only you can hear. AT ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS we strongly encourage anyone who is concerned about their hearing to have a comprehensive hearing exam. To schedule an appointment, please call 614-654-4309. We offer both standard and premium digital hearing aids for much less than the competition, plus we offer the best and most detailed hearing tests using problem solving equipment the others don’t have. Our office is located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.
We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!

Football
Teams preparing for start of practice By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The wait is nearly over for high school football players and coaches. It started with the sometimes monotonous days of weight-room work, which began for many the moment last season ended. The past few weeks have included activities such as team camps and 7on-7 passing tournaments, with a few glimpses of the playbook thrown in. Beginning Monday, Aug. 1, it final-
ly will start to feel like football again. For Grove City coach Matt Jordan, that first day of official coaching allowed by the OHSAA provides an enjoyable opportunity to see his players bond. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s a chance for relationships between some players and coaches to get a fresh start. “You no longer get any excuses from anybody,” Jordan said, laughing. “Seriously, it’s fun to finally get to put the pads on. You’ve been in the weight room since December, so it’s fun watch-
ing everyone run around in helmets. You know it’s football season, and there’s this wonderful excitement in the air. There’s something about that adrenaline that comes.” According to the OHSAA, the dates teams are allowed to scrimmage this year are Aug. 9-20. Although games can be played as early as Aug. 22, most teams start their season Aug. 26 or 27. Many teams in central Ohio won’t have their first scrimmage until Aug. 12, which means they have 11 days to put plays in motion before their first
contact against another team. Putting in drills over the first couple days of practice can be an important exercise in setting the pace for the coming months as well as in preparing for scrimmages. “You try to establish everyday types of drills and try to mix them up,” Jordan said. “We do certain things day one, certain things day two and get a rotation going. You’re always evaluating talent and you definitely want to laterally be going forward to see who looks good.
“In football, you already have a pretty good idea who your guys are Aug. 1, so you’re also looking at team cohesiveness. Do you have some leaders who are ready to step up? You start initially with your base offense and base defense in the early days and then do repeat and review to make sure you haven’t moved too fast. When you get to pads, it all changes.” Teams from the City League sometimes have obstacles, particularly early See FOOTBALL, page C3
Commentary
Respect essential to prep athletes Bad news often takes precedence over good news when it comes to stories about athletes. Most athletes perform well at their jobs and conduct their lives in a respectful way, but poor decisions often lead to headlines. This week, the high school student-athletes LARRY writing in my LARSON summer series discuss how they view two elements of the positive side of sports — sportsmanship and respect. Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I always try to be as positive as possible and I always remember that I do this sport because I love it and not as if it is my job.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “I view respect and sportsmanship as a bigger part of the game than talent. You don’t have to be a friend with everyone, but it is important to get along with everyone.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Respect and good sportsmanship are necessities come game time. Whether it was something in your day that upset you or things just aren’t going the way you want them to, no one likes to feel disrespected. Sometimes it’s going to be about someone else’s day, so smile and congratulate them as they would congratulate you.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “Respect in competition is vital. When you are big enough to respect your opponents, you respect yourself and your teammates that much more.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Respect and sportsmanship are always very valued traits to have as an athlete. In order to respect the game, you must respect your competitors in that game.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “I will make it real simple — respect all, fear none.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “In high school games, you have to remember that the guys out there on the field from the other team are just like you. Many of us get to be See LARSON, page C2

During the regular season, the teams are divided into the Olentangy Division and the Scioto Division. Annehurst, Dublin Arctic, Dublin Pacific and Grandview compete in the Olentangy. Chad Rankin, who competed in his 11th and final season with Annehurst, said team members surprised everyone, including themselves. “I’ve been with Annehurst for
a long time and we’ve never ever even come close to winning before,” Rankin said. “No one gave us a chance again, but about halfway through the meet our coaches told us we were only 14 points behind. We realized we had an opportunity. We had some good swims coming up and we were motivated. It was See SWIM, page C2

Staab siblings relish each other’s success By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Hillary Staab, a 2008 Central graduate, has helped Division II Drury University win three national titles in swimming.
TILE & GROUT CLEANING
It’d be easy for Hillary Staab to covet the swimming career her older brother had at Stanford University. After all, Austin Staab, a 2007 Westerville Central High School graduate, won four national titles individually while competing for the Cardinal. Two of those titles came during the national championships held March 24-26 in Minneapolis when he captured the 100yard butterfly and 200 individual medley titles. He also was on the winning 200 freestyle relay. Still, Austin envies his sister for capturing the one thing he couldn’t — a national team title.

New Albany cruises to Country Club title By STEVEN COLLINS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
New Albany High School graduates Alex Alfonso and David Huddle both played big roles in the New Albany Country Club swimming team’s victory in the Country Club Swim League championship on July 19 at home. The team scored 2,850.5 points to finish ahead of Wedgewood (2,369.5), The Lakes (2,011), Scioto (1,968), Kinsale (1,435), Worthington Hills (1,317.5), Tartan Fields (1,777.5), Brookside (1,043), Jefferson (955.5), Muirfield (919), Medallion (765.5) and Columbus (206.5). In their final club meet, Alfonso and Huddle led the way for New Albany. In the boys 15-and-over 50meter freestyle, Alfonso tied Jake Moore of Tartan Fields for first with a time of 24.75 seconds. Meet officials ruled the race was too close to call and gave both Alfonso and Moore the same time. Alfonso also was second in the 50 butterfly (27.23) and third in the 50 backstroke (29.99), while Huddle was third in the 50 fly (27.39) and sixth in the 50 free (25.98). Corey Ziegler, Frederick Jenny, Huddle and Alfonso finished second in the 200 medley relay (1:55.05) and Huddle, Jenny, Ziegler and Will Gleason were second in the 200 free relay
(1:50.42). “The meet was fun as always,” Alfonso said. “It’s our last club meet and I’m glad we did well.” Alfonso and Huddle’s high school coach and assistant at New Albany Country Club, Dave Wharton, was pleased with how they performed. “I’m very proud of both of them,” he said. “They have worked hard to improve themselves and their team and as long as they apply themselves they will continue to be successful.” Alfonso and Huddle both plan to continue swimming competitively. Huddle plans to swim for the club team at Ohio State and Alfonso for the varsity at DePauw University in Indiana. New Albany won both the boys and girls titles with point totals of 1,476 and 1,374.5, respectively. On the boys side, Wedgewood finished second (1,294) and Scioto (1,017.5) was third. For the girls, The Lakes was second (1,145) and Wedgewood was third (1,075.5). New Albany set league records in five relays: the girls 9-10 100 medley relay of Mia Lachey, Samantha Kass, Olivia Bergmann and Lydia Cornelius (1:11.07), the boys 9-10 100 medley relay of Austin Wharton, Thomas Lennox, Andrew Bernsdorf and Andrew Donley (1:11.47), the girls 11-12 200 medley relay of Jessica Zaper, Ally Wharton, Miranda Donley and Molly Berend (2:15.17), the
girls 8-and-under 100 free relay of Peyton Spychalski, Ava Lachey, Julia Zaper and Alaina Bernsdorf (1:14.59) and the boys 8-and-under 100 free relay of Ethan Halpern, Andrew Levine, Alex Arlin and Jared Kass (1:14.59). Donley also set a league record of 30.97 in the girls 1112 50 fly. Leading the way for Wedgewood were Madison Wolfe, Annie Miller, Kim Farinacci and Noelle St. John, who won the girls 15-and-over 200 medley relay in 2:16.71. “I felt good and it was a very competitive race,” said Wolfe, who will be a senior at Olentangy in the fall. “But what makes the difference is that we work together as a team and we’re tight-knit like one big family.” St. John, who won a national championship in synchronized swimming in June, agreed. “We support each other even when we’re not at a meet,” she said. “If one of us is feeling down about anything, someone is always there to pick us up.” Gabby Veri of Scioto finished first in the girls 15-and-over 50 free (28.31) and 50 fly (30.6). Brookside’s Edward Cordek, Keeler Callahan, Andrew Rabe and Adam Rabe won the boys 15-and-over 200 free relay (1:42.38). www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
(backstroke) or 50 fly. But I’m still excited and we’re all very excited. I’ve heard it’s been over 20 years (since the team won) and I’ve even heard some people say it’s been 40 years. Whatever it is, it’s been a long time.” High-point honors for Dublin Arctic were produced by Dean Sherrer (37 points, 6-and-under boys), Kelsey High (60, 14-and-under girls), Katie Kaffenbarger (60, 18-and-under girls) and Tanner Barton (60, 18-and-under boys), with Louis Mayo (58.5, 14-and-under boys) sharing honors with Marysville’s Gavin Mickelson. Barton set a meet record in the 100 breaststroke (1:14.91) and Mayo set a mark in the 50 breast (34.28). For Dublin Pacific, earning high-point honors were Kali Ulm (40, 6-and-under girls) and Brady Vann (56, 8-and-under boys). Ulm set a record in the 25 back (27.47). Jordan Arnou-Rhees of Dublin Atlantic had 60 points in the 10-and-under girls with Grandview’s Charlie Ferguson scoring 60 to lead the 10and-under boys competitors. Arnou-Rhees set a record in the 25 fly (16.19). •OTHER RECORDS — Seven records were broken in the meet. In addition to Arnou-Rhees, Barton, Mayo and Ulm, Grandview’s Martina Moncolova set a record in the 25 back (18.28) in the 10-and-under girls division, Edward Michael of Dublin Atlantic won the 50 back in a record 34.38 in the boys 12-andunder division and Elizabeth Andrews of Dublin Pacific went a record 21.97 in the 25 breast in the girls 8-and-under division.
time to make our move. With the inspiration, we rallied and finally we were able to do something great.” Rankin, who graduated from St. Charles Preparatory School last spring and will attend Butler University in the fall, won the 100-meter individual medley (1 minute, 6.66 seconds) in the boys 15-18 age division, was runner-up in the 50 butterfly (28.09) and was lead leg in the winning 200 freestyle relay (1:48.75). But it wasn’t the number of event wins that vaulted Annehurst to the top, according to Kissling. “The important thing is that every swimmer we had from age 6 to age 18 scored in at least one individual event,” Kissling said. “We limited our mistakes (and) had considerably less (swimmers disqualified). We were in a virtual fourteam tie halfway through the meet and from that point on, the kids did an excellent job moving up. We told them if they all could move up one place in their events, we’d get one additional point and take away one potential point from the other teams. That’s what won it for us.” Annehurst had three swimmers earn high-point totals in their divisions. Emma Rennie scored 60 points in the 8-and-under girls, Cate Kray totaled 60 points in the 12-and-under girls and Michael Gutman had 57 points in the 12-and-under boys. “I swim club all year-round for the Ohio State Swim Club,” said Kray, who will attend Heritage Middle School in the fall and expects to attend Westerville South High School in the future. “I only had four practices with Annehurst, but I am very happy to help us win. I swam my best time bemerine@thisweeknews.com in the 100 IM, but didn’t swim my best in the 50 www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Sports briefs Yeager helps set world record Chris Yeager of Westerville helped the U.S. men’s eight set a world record time of 5 minutes, 24.31 seconds while winning the 2,000 meters in the U23 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on July 24. Yeager was rowing in the second seat as the U.S. defeated the Czech Republic, Great Britain, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands in the grand final event of the four-day championships.
championship teams at Drury University while Stanford finished third three times during Austin’s career. “I’m extremely happy for her and a little jealous,” Austin said. “That’s what I strived for at Stanford, but we weren’t that lucky.” “At Drury, we’ve had our national titles and we’re extremely proud of that,” Hillary said. “But I’ll never be able to claim I have a national title, an NCAA record or anything like Austin can.” Located in Springfield, Mo., Drury this year became the first program to sweep the Division II men’s and women’s swimming and diving national championships three consecutive seasons. The women’s team scored 483.5 points in the national meet held March 9-12 in San Antonio, finishing ahead of runner-up Wayne State (388) and third-place UC San Diego (338). Two weeks later in Minneapolis, the Stanford men’s team scored 403 points to finish third behind California (493) and Texas (470.5). Although he didn’t achieve his goal of winning the team championship, Austin, who was the Pac-10’s co-Swimmer of the Year this past season, said the meet was one of the top achievements of his college career. The meet started with Austin teaming with Alex Coville, Jakob Allen and Aaron Wayne to win the 200 free relay in an American-record time of 1 minute, 15.2 seconds. Austin, who holds the NCAA 100 fly record (44.18, which he swam in the 2009 national championships), won the national title in the 100 fly in 44.69, edging runner-up Tom Shields of California (44.91). Even though Austin had beaten Shields in the Pac-10 championships, many considered Austin to be the underdog in the NCAA meet. Shields entered the finals seeded first (44.96), ahead of Austin (45.45). “Every other day one of my teammates would ask me, ‘How are you going to beat Shields?’” Austin said. “Either they were trying to get me psyched up or making me worried I might lose to him. I don’t know which.” Austin followed an unlikely path to the 200 IM title. He hadn’t swum the event in college until a dual meet against California on Feb. 19. Stanford needed points to defeat the Golden Bears, so coach Skip Kenney stuck Austin in the event and he responded with a time of 1:47.18. Austin asked to compete in the event again in the Pac-10 meet and won in 1:42.01, which at the time was the fastest time in the country. “After that, it was set in stone that I was going to swim it at the NCAA meet,” Austin said. Personal success hasn’t come as easily for Hillary, who has struggled to regain her high pbatterson@thisweeknews.com school form. In the Division I state meet her sen- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

ior year at Central, she teamed with Karli Kentner, Lauren Agee and Haley Agee to place fourth in the 200 medley relay (1:48.57) and sixth in the 400 free relay (3:36.97), teamed with Haley Agee, Lauren Agee and Kimi Kentner to place eighth in the 200 free relay (1:40.08) and finished 17th in the 100 backstroke (1:00.49). However, Hillary has battled degenerative disc disease in her back throughout her college career. She started experiencing back pain six years ago, but it gradually increased to the point where she can’t swim the breaststroke or fly. “Unfortunately, it’s an injury that only gets worse with time,” she said. “I’m just pushing through it and trying to get through my senior year. Hopefully, everything will end well.” Hillary teamed with Jacquelyn Haines, Jessica Boyer and Meghan Gleason to place fourth in the 400 medley relay (4:11.9) in the New South Intercollegiate Conference championships Feb. 912 at Delta State in West Cleveland, Miss. Although she didn’t compete in the national meet, Drury coach Brian Reynolds told Hillary that she served as an inspiration to those who did. “He told me, ‘95 percent of the people in your situation would have given up by now. I can’t tell you how proud I am you’ve kept going,’” Hillary said. “That made me cry. “Many people have said to me, ‘I don’t know how you made it through that practice. I was dying and watching you finish it helped me through it.’ I’m so happy to be a part of this incredible team.” One of the things that has helped Hillary through the pain has been the support of her family. Because the Staab siblings have been around 2,000 miles apart, Austin has not gotten a chance to see his sister compete in college, a situation he hopes to rectify this coming season. But Hillary knows that her brother is always looking out for her. “Since we’ve been at college, we don’t talk as much, but before a big meet, I’ll get a text from Austin saying, ‘Good luck today. Let me know how you do today,’” she said. “We’re there for each other.” This coming season, Hillary should have family support at every meet, as her younger sister, Chelsea, will be a freshman swimmer for Drury. “Throughout high school, we’ve fought about every little thing,” Hillary said with a laugh. “But when she came out on her recruiting trip, I really wanted her to come out here. Next year, she’ll be more of a teammate now as opposed to my little sister who liked to fight with me all the time.”
The previous world record in the 2,000 was set by Canada (5:30.72) in 2006. The best previous American time was 5:35 in 2007. Yeager rowed for Westerville Crew during high school and graduated from Westerville North in 2008. He now rows at the University of California at Berkeley.

FOOTBALL
At a glance
Continued from page C1 on, because many of the players who come out for football as freshmen are competing in the sport on a team for the first time. For those taking over a program for the first time such as Brookhaven’s Trevor White, that factor as well as figuring out how to install a new system can make for some complicated moments of preparation even before the first day of official coaching. “Especially with a new program, a big thing early on is setting the tone,” White said. “You want to be getting everybody on the same page, and what we’ve been debating is how much of the offense and defense do we put in. Do we just throw it at them or do we take it step by step? “We’ll have some kids that played (youth) football but some who have never played the sport before. You’ve always got to walk a line of bringing kids along but not holding the veterans back, and especially with a

Schools announce coaching vacancies
Below is a look at the Central, North, South and DeSales football teams entering Monday, Aug. 1’s first day of official coaching: CENTRAL •Coach: John Magistro, third season •2010 record: 2-8 overall, 2-5 (seventh) in OCC-Cardinal •Last playoff appearance: None •Opener: Aug. 26 vs. Big Walnut •Top expected returnees: Josh Gardy (DB), Cody Kondas (QB/LB), Davon Reed (RB), Max Shawver (WR) and Evan Stevenson (OL) •Preseason outlook: Coming off a 55 season in 2009, the Warhawks lost four games by a touchdown or less and took a step back in the win column. Magistro has spent his first two seasons as coach getting his players to focus on discipline, believing wins will come in time. NORTH •Coach: Mike Owens, third season •2010 record: 0-10 overall, 0-7 (eighth) in OCC-Cardinal •Last playoff appearance: 1999, lost in Division I first round
•Opener: Aug. 26 vs. Worthington Kilbourne •Top expected returnees: Dan Bichsel (OL/DL), Dane Cameron (TE/LB), B.J. Campfield (RB/WR/DB), Logan Hansford (RB/WR/LB) and Kory Watson (QB) •Preseason outlook: Owens has put significant emphasis on increasing numbers and weight-room work since taking over before the 2009 season. A win on the field — something that hasn’t happened since Sept. 19, 2008 — would provide proof that the work is starting to pay off. SOUTH •Coach: Rocky Pentello, 21st season •2010 record: 9-3 overall, 6-1 (first) in OCC-Cardinal •Last playoff appearance: 2010, lost in Division I regional semifinal •Opener: Aug. 26 vs. Groveport •Top expected returnees: Marcus Ball (QB), Gary Brown (WR), Daxton Cates (RB), Evan Lese (DB) and Charles Maclamore (DB) •Preseason outlook: South will have
a new look after losing ThisWeek Super 25 captain Jayshon Jackson (RB) to graduation, but a talented group of offensive returnees led by Ball should help keep the Wildcats among the area’s top teams. DeSALES •Coach: Ryan Wiggins, fifth season •2010 record: 5-6, 1-1 (second) in CCL-Silver •Last playoff appearance: 2010, lost in Division III first round •Opener: Aug. 26 vs. Gahanna •Top expected returnees: Warren Ball (RB), Charles Chandler (WR), Jalen Noble (DB), Derrick Traini (RB) and Alex Washington (OL/DL) •Preseason outlook: The pieces are in place for a bounce-back season for the Stallions as they look to make the postseason for the 18th consecutive time. The biggest key could be building depth to overcome injuries as DeSales attempts to handle what again is a tough schedule.

new program, it’s important that you’re really getting to know the team. I’m really excited to learn who my team is.” One of the key aspects of the first days of official coaching, according to Olentangy Liberty coach Steve Hale, is getting players’ technical reactions back on track.
“You’re working a lot on technique, stance and starts, quickness and a lot of ball skills,” Hale said. “What responsibilities do I have? There are a lot of drills where we try to put kids in situations where they can learn. I think it’s just a matter of being organized and knowing what schemes we have.
“Obviously everybody gets a brand new start. There’s an excitement and an anticipation that you’ll have a great season. That first time on the practice field is like being reborn each year.”
