District to seek income tax, property tax Nov. 8 Issue calls for 0.5 percent on earned income, 4.06-mill hike on real property

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Voters in the Westerville City School District will be asked to approve both an income tax and a property tax on the Nov. 8 ballot.

The Westerville Board of Education approved a levy request at its Aug. 8 meeting that takes advantage of a new option allowing districts to place a property tax and an income tax on the ballot

as one issue.

The November election will be the first time that school districts will be able to combine an earned-income tax and a property tax as one ballot issue.

The board is asking for approval of a 0.5-percent earned-income tax and a $10-million property tax equal to 4.06 mills, which would cost residents an additional $124.34 annually per $100,000 of assessed property value.

The earned-income tax would apply

to income for all residents of the school district but would not apply to Social Security, retirement or investment income.

Both of the taxes would be for a continuing period of time.

The levy combination approved was one of five options considered by the board of education at the meeting. Members also discussed a 1-percent earnedincome tax, a 7.9-mill property tax, a levy combining a 0.75-percent income

tax and a $7.3-million property tax, and a levy combining a 0.75-percent earnedincome tax and a $5-million property tax.

Board members said they liked the combination levy because it helped introduce a type of tax to make the district less reliant on property taxes while easing anticipated budget deficits.

With an income-tax only, the district would have to wait 18 months before realizing the full collection of revenues,

meaning it would continue to see deficits in each year of its five-year financial forecast.

“I like that this has a split — the opportunity to introduce an income tax to our community and the balance of the mills,” board member Cindy Crowe said.

The combination also balances the burden on senior citizens and others on fixed incomes.

Stoll to head jazz studies at Lincoln Center

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Westerville City Schools secondary music curriculum coordinator Todd Stoll soon will leave for the bright lights of New York City.

Stoll, who has worked for the district for nearly 20 years, has been named director of jazz education for the Lincoln Center.

“It’s kind of a big move for me,” he said.

“It’s a huge honor. It’s the largest jazz organization like it in the world, with the largest pulpit for spreading understanding for not just jazz education but American cultural education.”

Stoll began his career with Westerville City Schools in 1993, joining the district

as choir director. When jazz band became a part of the district’s curriculum three years later, he also began to teach those classes.

In 2003, Stoll became an assistant band director, while still working with the jazz band and teaching some choir.

He took over his current post in administration in 2005.

At the same time he was working with young musicians in the Westerville schools, Stoll also helped found the Columbus Youth Jazz Orchestra.

That group began as a program through the Columbus Department of Recreation and Parks and later was absorbed by the Jazz Arts Group of Columbus, under which it grew to have three different performance groups.

The Youth Jazz Orchestra attracts young musicians from across Ohio and has traveled internationally to perform.

“It’s the cream of the crop for high school musicians who are into jazz,” Stoll said.

Stoll has done some consulting work for the Lincoln Center and was recruited to his new position by Wynton Marsalis, artistic director for jazz at the center.

In his new post at the Lincoln Center, Stoll will help create resources, programs and training for jazz education that can be used by teachers across the country.

He also will look for partners in education to implement those programs and provide access to the information at the LinSee STOLL, page A6

“It’s just all kinds of fun things.

It’s kind of a carnival atmosphere,” she said.

Cocuzzi said she can’t remember the city ever celebrating the completion of a construction project in such a big way, but she said the Main Street bridge project is unique because it cut off a major artery into Uptown and caused detours and traffic delays that affected many residents and businesses for several months.

“We never had a project like See BRIDGE, page A2

Bridge to reopen to traffic Aug. 19

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Traffic will flow again along West Main Street between Cleveland Avenue and State Street starting Aug. 19.

The contractor, Kokosing Construction, has spent the last 13 months rebuilding the bridge over Alum Creek and is scheduled to hand the project back over to Franklin County that day, Franklin County engineer Jim Pajk said.

A time for the reopening has not yet been set, he said, but the roadway likely will reopen in the late afternoon or early evening.

Pajk said after years of planning and more than a year of construction, the county is excited to

see the project near an end.

“It is good. These projects, from the time that it starts to the time that it completes, depending on what funding’s available, sometimes these projects take six, seven, up to 10 years to see it from conception to completion,” Pajk said. “It is nice to see it get to the end. It’s been a lot of coordination.”

The county first began talking about reconstructing the Main Street bridge over Alum Creek in 2003, Pajk said. The project gained momentum in 2004 and was in the planning and design stages by 2006, he said.

Hadler vows to fight referendum on Walmart

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A group of Westerville residents opposed to The Hadler Cos.’plans to build a Walmart in the Westerville Square shopping center filed petitions last week for a referendum on a city council decision allowing that redevelopment.

Westerville City Council on July 5 approved a major modification to the development plan for Westerville Square, at the northeast corner of South State Street and Schrock Road. The plans call for demolishing three storefronts in the center to make way for a 108,000-square-foot Walmart.

On Aug. 4, residents opposing those plans filed 125 petitions with 2,330 signatures with city finance director Lee Ann Shortland. Valid

These people are attempting to gain control over our private property rights … and they’re trying to gain control over planning commission and city council.

signatures from 1,679 registered Westerville voters are needed to place a referendum before voters.

The petitions will be available for public inspection at City Hall, 21 S. State St., through Aug. 15.

The city then will deliver the pe-

titions to the Franklin and Delaware county boards of elections for certification, Shortland said.

Even if the petitions are certified, the referendum vote would not appear on the ballot until November 2012. Referendums are required to appear on general-election ballots, and after the 10-day holding period, the petitions will not be filed by the Aug. 10 deadline for the November election.

The Hadler Cos. president George Hadler has vowed to fight the referendum attempt.

“I’m very frustrated, having been at this for six years now and having made all the concessions that we’ve made, having gotten the approvals, having a group challenge us,” Hadler said. “We have See WALMART, page A7

TRAFFIC BRIDGE Continued from page A1 tion began in July 2010.

The new, triple-span concrete bridge, which has an estimated lifespan of 100 years, will feature new sidewalks that are more than four feet wider than the ones they replaced, and a concrete barrier that will separate pedestrians from traffic.

The bridge replacement cost a total of $4.9 million. A federal grant received though the County Engineers Association of Ohio Local Bridge Funds covered 80 percent of that cost.

Westerville also paid approximately $1 million more toward the project to place a backup water line under the bridge, bury electric lines, replace streetlights and widen the sidewalks across the bridge.

The reopening of the bridge is right on schedule. When it closed to traffic last year, Pajk named Aug. 19 as the target end date for the project. All along, he has said the bridge would reopen before Otterbein University resumed fall classes Aug. 29.

Kokosing did fall behind schedule during the recordbreaking rains that hit the area this spring, Pajk said, but Franklin County approved additional funding to finish the project on schedule.

“They were about seven days behind, so the county looked into, and we were able to approve, acceleration costs to get it back on schedule,” he said.

Work will continue in the area through October, as the contractor continues to put finishing touches on the project, such as installing new handicap-accessible ramps to the parks, repaving the north side of the Westerville Senior Center parking lot, grading around curbs and seeding the area, Pajk said.

“A lot of the last two months is kind of like putting the finishing touches on a new house,” Pajk said. “You have the framework, it’s up and it’s a house, but you have the carpeting and the painting.”

Continued from page A1 this, either, that’s divided everything so starkly. It’s something that’s affected everybody,” she said. “People on each side of the bridge feel isolated and not connected. It’s truly a connector on both sides of Westerville.”

Westerville Uptown Merchants Association president Kriss Rodgers, who has helped plan the celebration on behalf of the organization, said Uptown businesses did see a decline in traffic with the bridge closure.

At the reopening celebration, she said Uptown vendors will set up booths and give out prizes — ranging from small promotional items to merchandise and gift cards — to entice people back to Uptown businesses and to thank customers who endured the inconvenience of the detours to continue to patronize local businesses.

“We’re going to welcome people from the other side of the bridge back to Uptown, if they haven’t been able to get there,” Rodgers said. “I think what’s most important to the Uptown merchants is that we want the people in Westerville to know that we really appreciate their business.”

During the celebration,

Rodgers said the association also will be promoting the launch of its redesigned website: shopuptownwesterville.com.

Liz Rossetti, president and founder of AmeriCheer, located adjacent to the bridge, said the closure and construction of the span has been an inconvenience for her business, and she’s ready to enjoy the new bridge.

“I’m looking forward to a faster travel time and being able to walk to Uptown now, take my bike, go right to Otterbein University and Uptown. It’s going to be a sweet dream,” she said.

“It’s been an inconvenience.

You’re inconvenienced for a long time, but you look forward to the outcome of a new bridge and a beautiful walkway.”

Rossetti, Rodgers and Cocuzzi all said they’re excited about the bridge reopening and the celebration.

Cocuzzi said she hopes to see a good turnout for the event, as it gives Westerville a way to thank residents for putting up with the traffic woes and delays caused by the construction.

“Let’s have some fun with them and thank them all for their patience,” she said. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Board OKs revised teaching contracts

By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Westerville Board of Education approved contract concessions Aug. 8 offered by the Westerville Education Association two weeks ago.

The concessions include the reduction of salary increases agreed upon during negotiations last year. Instead of the previously approved 1.75percent salary increase for the 2011-2012 school year, teachers will receive a 0.875-percent increase.

Teachers eligible for step increases based on their years of service in the district agreed to decrease the amount of those raises by half.

Teachers also will be paid only 24 times in the next school year, rather than 26 times, lessening the district’s financial burden in fiscal year 2012.

The association, which represents the district’s 1,030 teachers and licensed personnel, present-

ed the concessions to the board at its July 25 meeting, but union president Chris Williams declined to give the details of the concessions.

The concessions will save the district $1.7 million in increased expenditures, meaning it will save nearly $7 million over its five-year financial forecast.

Williams previously said the union was looking to help with the nearly $3-million deficit the district would face in fiscal year 2012 without the concessions.

He said the concessions equate to about $1,700 per education association employee and would cost members more than most district residents would have to pay if a levy were approved on the fall ballot.

Board members thanked the association for making concessions to help the district with its financial woes.

For a good portion of my life, I shared the perspective of those who rail against God for allowing pain. I could find no way to rationalize a world as toxic as this one. As I visited people whose pain far exceeded my own, though, I was surprised by its effects.

Suffering seemed as likely to reinforce faith as to sow doubt.

My anger about pain has melted mostly for one reason: I have come to know God. He has given me joy and love and happiness and goodness. It leaves me with faith in a Person, a faith so solid that no amount of suffering can erode it.

Where is God when it hurts? He has been there from the beginning.

He designed a pain system that, in the midst of a fallen world, bears His stamp. He transforms pain, using it to teach and strengthen us if we allow it to turn us toward Him.

August 10, 2009 it was discovered that Sam had bone cancer. After a courageous battle against the cancer that included an amputation of one leg, surgery on the other leg, removal of cancer from both of his lungs, as well as chemotherapy, Sam’s body could endure no more. After returning from his Make a Wish trip to Disney World in July 2010, it was discovered that the cancer was growing rapidly in too many places to treat. He went home from Nationwide Children’s Hospital to be with his mother and father to live the last of his days on Earth. While Sam’s body could no longer fight, his mind could. Sam did not want to die. His family and friends did not want him to die…But God had a different plan. During his time in hospice care, surrounded by those who loved him best, Sam mostly came to accept that he would not continue life among us. His hope laid in the knowledge that Jesus and his beloved grandfather Greg, his great grandmothers Martha and Kathryn were waiting for him in Heaven.

He has hurt and bled and cried and suffered. He has dignified for all time those who suffer, by sharing their pain. But one day He will gather the armies of heaven and will unleash them against the enemies of God. The world will see one last terrifying moment of suffering before the full victory is ushered in. Then God will create for us a new, incredible world. And pain will be no more (Rev. 19:11–22:6).

He left His Father’s throne above, So free, so infinite His grace!

Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam’s helpless race. —Wesley Pain will either turn us against God or draw us to Him. _____________________________________________ O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? __1 Corinthians 15:55

Sam took comfort in the knowledge that God does not count time as we do, and that he would see his family again “in a blink of an eye.”

Sam and his family believed that God could and would heal him from the cancer. The problem for many was that God did not heal Sam the way they wanted Him to. However, even though Sam’s story did not end as his friends and family wanted, it did end as God desired.

City chickens would be ‘enforcement nightmare’ This summer’s heat has been brutal on everyone, and with children ages 7 and 5, I am constantly seeking somewhere to go to “beat the heat.” However, my circumstance is a bit unique. I am a single mother to a beautiful daughter, Brianna, and a strong boy, Jackson. Jackson has autism. He has a very limited vocabulary, behavior, aggression and communication issues. This puts a bit of a strain on our family at times because we cannot stroll down to the local pool like everyone else.

Recently, I decided while Brianna was out of town that I would take Jackson to the Westerville Parks and Recreation Center indoor pool. Everything was going smoothly until the dreaded whistle blew that it was time for the 10-minute adult swim. When Jackson sees a pool, there is no stopping him. The idea that he has to get out of the pool for 10 long minutes doesn’t make sense in his head.

This is where the story takes a turn for the worse. I had to carry my 60-pound boy out of the water, dragging him every centimeter of the pool as he hit, bit, kicked, screamed and cried.

I managed to get him into his push chair, and as blood dripped down my arms and fingers, I could feel everyone in the pool area staring at me. I had no clue how I was going to manage to Ken Keylor hold him down for another eight Westerville minutes, let alone try to make an escape to head home.

If you haven’t already heard, council is considering an ordinance to allow raising poultry on lot sizes less than three acres.

The draft is shocking in its liberal limits and definitions. Most cities outlaw the practice entirely and many set a limit of one acre or a minimum 150-foot setback from a property line.Yet curiously, our city government has bent to the will of a mere handful of advocates and drafted a rule which would allow a chicken coop within a few feet of your patio. For the uninitiated, this means it is guaranteed that you will have the pleasure to see, hear and smell your neighbor’s clucking flock.

The advocates will assure you that rules will be written and complaint processes will be codified, but it is a certainty that allowing poultry to be raised on small lots in residential subdivisions will become an enforcement nightmare for the city.

at all. At this point, I melt down into tears. As I tried to put the band-aids on my chlorine-soaked skin, she headed back into the life guard office, only to come right back out with more band-aids.

And then I heard a few magical words: ”I checked with my manager and it is OK for Jackson to swim.”

At this point, I sobbed harder.

No one has ever taken the time to go out of their way or to make an exception for my son not understanding. I was floored! She even relayed the message onto her fellow lifeguards so that they would understand why he was allowed in four minutes early. Before I could open my tear-soaked eyes, she was gone. I never got to properly thank her for the 25th time.

I was able to find a lifeguard that could tell me her name. You have no idea how something like this affects someone. I only wish that the surrounding parents that stare at the situation could be a bit more understanding. If they only knew what one day was like in our house, they might not bat an eye the next time he is allowed to swim four minutes early.

I only wish that there were other places to take special needs children where they can truly fit in, not only for my sanity, but for my daughter, also. I feel as though she misses out on things since we cannot attend everything like a typical family.

Thanks again, Devonley. If I have another little girl, we have her name picked out.

Artists bring their talent to Ohio’s ‘infant’ capital Perhaps because Columbus is the state capital, it should not be surprising that there would be a couple of artists practicing their trade in the early history of the town.

Established as a created capital city in 1812, Columbus was somewhat isolated in its early years. The village was overshadowed by frontier Franklinton across the Scioto during the War of 1812. Columbus only had a few hundred residents when President James Monroe whipped through

in 1817 and dubbed it an “infant city.”

When English immigrant William Bambrough arrived in town from ED England in LENTZ 1819 at the age of 27, most of the streets were still simple dirt paths. The only substantial structures in town were the buildings on Statehouse Square and the

Still, Bambrough, an accomplished sketch artist, thought there might be a future for him in the new town.

As things turned out, he was right — but just barely. A lover of nature, Bambrough bought a house lot “out in the country” near the corner of Long and High streets and, in due course, planted an elaborate flower garden around his cottage. A naturalist at heart, Bambrough made the acquaintance of John James Audubon and accompanied him on several field trips through the South between 1824 and 1832.

Returning to Columbus, he lived modestly until his death in 1860.

His most commonly observed work in Columbus was a fulllength portrait of George Washington, which was placed in the Statehouse.

By the time he died, Bambrough had seen the arrival of a canal and several railroads, and the growth of the town to a city of more than 18,000 people.

He had also seen the emergence of several competitors. Some of the competition came from the new art of photography. Faster and simpler than portrait painting, the first daguerreotype studio was opened in Columbus in 1840, only a year after Louis Daguerre inSee LENTZ, page A5

William Walcutt’s statue of Dr. Samuel Smith at Broad and High streets

LENTZ Probably the best-known of the Walcutt artists was the older brother of George and David. William Walcutt was born in Columbus in 1819. Specializing in portrait painting, he acquired a reputation that brought him work from eastern cities as well as the rest of the state of Ohio. In middle age, he traveled to Europe and studied with some of the best French painters of the mid-19th century. In time, he would become the first American to be awarded a medal by the French Academy.

Returning to America, William Walcutt spent most of his later career as a sculptor. Some of his more memorable works included the Perry monument in Cleveland and the statue of Dr. Samuel Smith that stood for many years at the corner of Broad and High streets.

The story of the travels of the statue of Dr. Smith probably deserves a story in its own right. Originally commissioned by his family, the statue extended a bit into the street. Eventually becoming a traffic hazard, the statue was moved several times, stolen at one time and recovered, and stands today on the OSU campus near the College of Medicine.

As more artists came to Columbus, the Walcutt family competed by opening one of the first art galleries in the city on the site of their father’s carpentry shop.

Branching out from there, the family later expanded the gallery to include other exhibits and opened the city’s first and only Dime Museum.

The museum included all sorts of examples of taxidermy, souvenirs and mementos from famous and infamous people, and paint-

Continued from page A4 vented the process in France.

By 1842, there were several “Daguerrean Artistes” operating in Columbus. But for many people, only a formal “sitting” for one’s portrait would do.

To meet the need for such portraits, the formidable family of John Macey Walcutt rose to the challenge.

Walcutt came to Columbus early in its history. A carpenter and cabinetmaker by trade, he bought a lot at the southwest corner of Town and High streets and opened a shop in his front room. Wandering across the river to Franklinton, Walcutt met and married Mariel Broderick, a daughter of one of the earliest settlers in the area. Over the next couple of decades, the Walcutts had no fewer than 17 children. Twelve of them lived to maturity and three of the sons of John and Mariel Walcutt would become well-known American artists, even though none of them had much formal training until they were adults.

George Walcutt painted portraits and landscapes and assisted in his father’s chair business. He raised a company of soldiers to fight in the Mexican War. Noted for his historical knowledge, he once won a medal in a statewide history contest in Cincinnati.

His brother, David Walcutt, was primarily a portrait painter, and many of his portraits of Ohio’s governors are still hanging in the Statehouse. David Walcutt later went into partnership with Cincinnati sculptor Thomas Jones for a time, and then went on to open a portrait studio in St. Louis.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM

GRASS POLLEN ALLERGIES? If you (or your child) suffer from grass pollen allergies, you may want to know about this study. We’re enrolling a clinical research study of an investigational drug. The investigational drug may help prevent the body’s reaction to grass pollen, rather than to just treat allergy symptoms. What’s more, this once-a-day tablet is designed to be placed under the tongue.

ings and sculpture from the prolific Walcutt family. It was apparently a wonder to behold.

Unable to compete against the formidable Walcutts, John Henry Witt carved out a niche of his own.

Born in Wayne County in 1840, Witt trained as an artist in Cincinnati and came to Columbus in 1862, during the American Civil War. After buying a home on Franklin Avenue near Washington Boulevard, he began to paint portraits of prominent military and political figures. Handsome and socially adept, Witt soon was painting governors and generals until he left Columbus in 1878 for New York and Washington.

One of the people Witt left behind in Columbus was his pupil, Silas Martin. Born in Columbus in 1841, Martin grew up in Westerville and studied art with the wife of the president of Otterbein College. She later would become a pupil of his.

Martin came to Columbus, studied with Witt and turned to portrait painting. He painted a number of prominent people, including Gov. William McKinley. In his later career, he turned his attention to landscapes.

In 1889, Silas Martin became head of the art department at Ohio State University, serving until his death in 1906. By that time, Columbus boasted well-established art schools, a Gallery of Fine Arts and a whole new generation of Columbus artists.

Many of them, like George Bellows and Alice Schille, would set new standards for a new century.

WEA Continued from page A3 “You did make a big impact, and I appreciate that,” board member Cindy Crowe said.

Curt Jackowski, executive director of human resources and employee relations services, said district officials have talked with representatives of the three other bargaining units, who are discussing contract concessions with their members.

Jackowski said he does not know whether those unions will present concessions to the board or what those concessions would look like.

“I do not have any information. That would be they’re choice to do that,” he told the board.

Superintendent Dan Good said district employees not represented by unions have come forward to say they will not accept raises for the coming school year. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com

ABANDONED Continued from page A3 take them in.”

With no luck finding the owners, the Snouffers have refocused on finding a new home for the dogs.

They contacted Michael Spitale with the Alaskan Malamute Rescue of Ohio. He has advised the Snouffers on how to care for the dogs and search for a home.

“He has been instrumental in helping me because I am not a rescue. I didn’t know what to do with these dogs,” Snouffer said.

The Snouffers have taken the two dogs to see a veterinarian, who said the animals are healthy, heartworm-free and current on their vaccinations.

With the support of a husky rescue group based near Cleveland, the Snouffers have been able to secure a discount rate to have the dogs housed at the Pet Palace, off Stelzer Road in Columbus.

But they need to find a permanent home, Snouffer said.

The dogs are a 2- to 3-yearold, blue-eyed male the Snouffers have dubbed Yukon and a 5to 6-year-old female dubbed

Juneau, who has bi-colored eyes.

Snouffer said the dogs are friendly and well-behaved and are ideal for a home without cats or small children. Known escape artists, huskies need a family with a fenced-in yard and that will take them for frequent walks and playtime, she said.

She said people willing to take the dogs should be knowledgeable or willing to learn about the breed. Potential owners will be screened.

Snouffer said they will not consider separating the dogs.

“They need to go together.

That’s all they have left,” she said.

“They are best friends.”

The couple also is soliciting donations to help with the cost of keeping the dogs at the kennel.

Snouffer said the process of caring for the rescued dogs has been incredible, as people have come forward to help them.

“All along, there have been different people to step in and help these guys,” she said. In a down economy, she said.

Anyone interested in helping the dogs can email the Snouffers at 2huskiesneedahome@gmail.com.

STOLL Continued from page A1 coln Center.

In his years in the classroom, Stoll said, he saw the deficiencies in teaching students about American culture and cultural history, which he said can best be done through the arts.

Too often, Stoll said, students are left out of courses on the arts and art history unless they take them as electives.

“We really have done a poor, poor job of training people on a cultural level. … We leave behind more than 80 percent of students in terms of not knowing anything about culture,” he said.

“I just have these really strong feelings that schools need programs that kids can access to give them better understanding of American culture, and that’s through the arts.”

Stoll said Westerville schools did train him well for the position because the community does value the arts, and the district did pilot programs in art and art history.

“The community of Westerville had a great

reputation for supporting the arts. That carries through to today,” he said. “My time in Westerville has been very well spent.”

Westerville Superintendent Dan Good said he’s excited for Stoll.

“It’s a grand opportunity for Todd and welldeserved,” Good said. “He’s an amazing musician, a truly amazing musician.”

Because of Stoll’s leadership in shaping the music curriculum, the district’s music programs are in good hands, Good said.

“It’s not really a loss to the district because of the legacy he’s left,” Good said. “He trained people. Todd is truly a leader in that he trained people to fill that void.”

As Stoll leaves the district, he said he will miss his interactions with students in the classroom.

“That’s the thing that I will miss the most.

Just being with the kids is what I’ll miss the most. We had a great time,” he said. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com

WALMART ON THE BALLOT Continued from page A1 so much money and so much time invested that I’m going to play this out to the end. I have no choice.”

The petitions do put an immediate stop to redevelopment plans for the site.

“It doesn’t make any sense to spend a lot of money and get started on this thing. This becomes a legal battle, and any time you go into a legal battle, nobody guarantees the results,” he said.

At issue in a lawsuit would be whether council’s decision constituted legislative or administrative action. Only legislative action is eligible for a referendum vote.

Legal representation for the opposition said council’s vote was legislative, creating new guidelines for Westerville Square. Hadler said his legal team believes the decision was administrative and enforces existing laws.

Those working on the referendum have cited concerns over development issues, such as the impact on traffic and the impact on nearby residences of a 24-hour store. They have said Walmart would attract crime and have criticized its business practices.

Hadler said referendum supporters are taking aim at Walmart, though the city has maintained that development decisions must be based on a property’s uses, not a property’s user.

“These people are attempting to gain control over our private property rights,” Hadler said. “We have the zoning for Walmart.”

Those leading the petition drive did not return repeated requests for comments for this story.

Continued from page A1 “Those who are concerned about a loss of jobs, those who are at risk, those who have lost a job, those on a fixed income — their cost, I guess, depending on the cost of their home, is less,” she said. “This strikes the balance of giving some fairness to those who feel that economic times are tough.”

Even if the levy were to pass, the district still will have to make cuts to keep the budget balanced through the end of fiscal year 2015.

With the levy the board voted to place on the ballot, the district would see a $2.7-million deficit in 2014 and a $13-million deficit in fiscal year 2015.

“I think we’ve made a good decision and we have a lot of hard work ahead of us” to balance the budget, board president Kristi Robbins said.

Without a levy, district officials expect a $1.7-million deficit at the end of the current fiscal year and a $21.9-million deficit at the end of the next fiscal year.

Have You Heard?

by Greg VanHorssen A LOSING PROPOSITION FOR MEN New research showing that men taking the erectile-dysfunction (ED) drug sildenafil (Viagra) and similar drugs are at increased risk for hearing loss bolsters previous anecdotal accounts and laboratory work that arrives at a similar conclusion. While the new study does rely on self-reported hearing loss among men taking sildenafil, it is certainly worth noting that the new study reveals that taking ED drugs may double a man’s risk of developing hearing loss.

The study also went on to show that, while other studies focused on sudden hearing loss, the hearing loss noted among the Viagra users may be more incremental in nature. Thus, some users of ED drugs may not notice any hearing loss associated with the medications right away.

If you’re taking a medication for erectile dysfunction and have sudden loss of hearing or vision, seek medical help right away. If you or a family member are not hearing as well as you could, please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complementary hearing & speech evaluation.

That takes into account recent contract concessions made by the Westerville Education Association and changes to the assumptions in the district’s five-year financial forecast, including that there would be no tax revenue growth because of lower property valuation, an increase in tax delinquencies of 6 percent, no increases in state funding for the biennium, a reduction of personal services expenditures from 5 percent to 3 percent, a reduction in the expected growth of health care costs from 15 percent to 10 percent and reductions in the growth of purchased services and supplies costs.

To make those numbers, the district has already made cuts, including eliminating 10 positions from this year’s budget that the administration had planned to add to accommodate growth, a reduction in 10 positions through attrition and freezing budgets for department supplies, among other things.

Football

Race for postseason begins opening week

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A little more than two weeks remain before the first official snaps are taken on central Ohio high school football fields.

For traditional playoff contenders, the first regular-season game begins a journey that includes the expectation that it might take a dozen games or more before true satisfaction comes.

The teams in the middle, meanwhile, enter the season with a different kind of anxiousness.

One team from Division I, Region 3 — Lancaster — went 7-3 and failed to make the playoffs last year. There were seven other teams in the region that went 5-5 or 6-4 and had their seasons end before the postseason.

For programs such as Gahanna and Upper Arlington where long playoff runs have come in the recent past, the need to move back into the postseason race is one that can be a consuming desire.

Gahanna has missed the playoffs the past three seasons after qualifying for the postseason five of the pre-

vious seven seasons. Upper Arlington has missed the postseason the past two years after making the playoffs nine of the previous 12 years. The Golden Bears won the Division I state title in 2000.

“Obviously, winning football teams are expected at Gahanna Lincoln,” Lions coach John Snoad said. “We’ve been a .500 team, and that’s not acceptable in our community. They understand there’s a great tradition with great playoff teams. Last year, we were literally three points away from being 7-3 and the eighth seed.

“A good team has good discipline.

The key here is if we take care of business in key plays. Those are the things that separate the fine line between being 5-5 and being 7-3 or 8-2. We have some tremendous talent, and now we have to work very hard to get strong in the weight room and get out and be disciplined.”

Others in Region 3 left on the outside a year ago when each went 6-4 were Pickerington North, Groveport, Olentangy Liberty and Mount Vernon.

One school in particular that hopes failing to make the postseason won’t

become a habit is Liberty, which had made six consecutive postseason appearances before last season.

Olentangy, Dublin Jerome, Dublin Scioto, Olentangy Orange and Watkins Memorial all were 6-4 but were left on the outside of the Division II, Region 7 playoffs a year ago.

Among the others hoping to be breakout teams this year are Granville and Licking Heights, both of which went 7-3 last year but failed to make the Division III, Region 11 playoffs.

Commentary

Athletes admire, inspired by heroes There are youngsters in central Ohio who want to develop into the athlete and person that the high school students writing in my summer series are today. These bowlers, football players, golfers, soccer players, track athletes and wrestlers are held in the highest LARRY esteem by LARSON younger athletes who know their accomplishments.

So, who are the heroes for these role models? Let’s find out.

Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “I admire (NFL quarterback) Tim Tebow because he is a Christian athlete and strong in his faith. He never let anybody tell him he couldn’t achieve what he wanted to and he worked hard to get what he wanted.”

Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “My hero is (pole vaulter) Tim Mack. I have met him a couple of times and he has been someone who I have admired for a while. I like the way he jumps and the way he teaches.”

Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “My biggest role model is my older sister, Domini. She is a great human being who has great morals and is always willing to help others and myself.

I love her so much and she has helped me get through some truly tough times.”

Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “My role model is my father because he is a very dedicated man and has always been my idol.”

Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “My hero is my father, Dave Delande. He is always there for me, gives me great advice as well as good coaching tips.”

Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “My top hero or role model is (professional bowler) Kelly Kulick because she was the first woman to win the USBC Tournament of Champions.”

Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “My best hero? This year I don’t have a best. So many people have been the light when I needed one with encouragement and support.

They all are like family in shining armor.”

Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “My hero is God. It is sacrifice and love for others that can be translated into the love you must have for your teammates and the selflessness you must have on the field.”

Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “My grandparents are my heroes. They have always supported me in golf and in life and I have

Jamiya Pride has replaced Doug Etgen as Central girls basketball coach. Pride coached Gilead Christian the past three seasons, compiling a 52-15 record.

Girls Basketball

Central has Pride, new outlook

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Jamiya Pride enjoyed success coaching girls basketball at Gilead Christian School. He’s hoping to do the same as coach of the Westerville Central High School girls basketball team.

Pride, 32, replaces Doug Etgen, who stepped down June 19 following three seasons with the Warhawks.

Etgen, who also was a teacher at Central, compiled a 20-43 record. He left both positions to become the associate director of school finance and government programs for the Columbus Dio-

cese.

Pride, who accepted the position July 29, is the program’s fifth coach since the school’s inception in 2003. He is hoping to bring stability to the program.

“I’m hoping to be there for a while — five to 10 years,” said Pride, who resides in Minerva Park. “My family and I have really established strong roots in the Westerville area and I’m hoping to find a job within the district and to set a strong foundation and to be there for the long haul. I want to take Central to new heights.”

Pride coached Gilead Christian the past three seasons, compiling a 52-15

record. Last season, the Eagles finished 15-7 after losing to Morral Ridgedale 50-40 in the second round of the Division IV district tournament.

Gilead Christian finished 17-5 in 2009-10 and 20-3 in 2008-09. The Eagles reached a district final both seasons, falling both times to Harvest Prep.

“The best memories at Gilead Christian are going far beyond what people expected us to do during the season,” Pride said.

Pride was the junior varsity boys basketball coach at Gilead Christian in the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons.

“I am excited about Jamiya joining

our staff,” Central athletics director Andy Ey said. “One thing that stands out is the success he has had as a head coach. He will bring an exciting approach and perspective to our girls basketball program.”

Pride met with the Central players Aug. 4 and had a simple message.

“My philosophy in being successful is how to be consistent in preparation and also work ethic, and have fun doing it,” he said. “We will prepare well, work hard and have fun every day. I’ve found with those three keys I’ve been sucSee PRIDE, page B3

Top Individual Performances: No. 1

Delande delivered Wildcats’ state title

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Former Hilliard Davidson High School football standout Bo Delande fondly recalls highstepping into the end zone with the winning two-point conversion in the 2006 Division I state championship game.

The 6-foot, 185-pound running back’s score lifted Davidson to a 36-35 double-overtime win over Mentor on Dec. 2, 2006, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton. It was the Wildcats’first state championship and the first Division I state final decided in overtime.

Delande finished the game with five touchdowns and 236 yards rushing on 47 carries. His five touchdowns set a state tournament record.

“I think about the game all the time,” Delande said. “It’s something me and my buddies still talk about. I’ll remember that forever — not only for my personal performance but also the team as a whole. I’ll always remember that game.”

Delande, a 2007 Davidson graduate, keeps many mementos of that special season at his parents’ home in Hilliard, including See LARSON, page B2 his state championship ring.

Hilliard Davidson’s Bo Delande looks to elude a Mentor defender during the Wildcats’ 36-35 double-overtime victory in the Division I state championship game on Dec. 2, 2006, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton. Delande scored all five touchdowns for the Wildcats and ran for the decisive two-point conversion.

Although he played a key role in the win, he realizes the victory was a team effort.

“I credit the offensive line,” Delande said. “Also, we had Connor Dietz at quarterback. We had

Clay Trubiano (at slotback). Our defense was pretty tough, too.

They helped out a lot. We had a talented team that year.”

With Davidson trailing 35-28 in the second overtime, Delande

took the handoff from Dietz on first down at the Mentor 10-yard line and fumbled at the 6. Mentor’s Danny Kelley appeared to recover the ball at the 1, but the ball squirted loose and David-

son lineman Mike Saul recovered it at the 3.

Delande scored on the next play, making it 35-34. Then, during a pair of timeouts by the Wildcats, kicker Colby Catlett ran on and then off the field. Catlett actually was lined up for the extrapoint attempt that coach Brian White later admitted would have been a fake before the second timeout was called. After the second timeout, White opted to put his offense on the field and give the ball to Delande.

“None of us coaches had any idea during the course of the game that Bo had scored one, two, three, four or five touchdowns,” White said. “It’s not like we purposely were trying to get him to score touchdowns.

We were running our offense.

The thing that gets lost a little bit — and I believe Bo would be the first to admit this — is the offensive line we had that year was pretty special.”

A preferred walk-on at Ohio State in 2007 who is preparing for his senior season with the Buckeyes, Delande finished the 2006 season with a programrecord 2,208 yards rushing and See DELANDE, page B3

Area team captures Midwest championship

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Eric Brunton and his doubles partner, Blake Byrns, towered over the other members of the Columbus team in the Midwest City Team Tennis Championships on July 15-17 in Indianapolis.

But according to the 6-foot-2 Brunton, a Clintonville native and 2011 Watterson High School graduate, it was the younger, smaller players who stood tall as Columbus captured the team title.

“It was nice to have won it, but to be honest, I wasn’t a huge factor,” Brunton said. “It was mostly the little kids who helped us win. I was definitely impressed with them. I know I wasn’t able to play that well when I was their age.”

Columbus went 2-1 in the roundrobin portion of the eight-team event and defeated Jasper, Ind., 24-16 in a semifinal and Indianapolis Red 28-12 in the final to win the championship outright for the first time in eight years.

Columbus was comprised of 21 players in five age groups and coached by Jim Criswell, Scott Gerber and Max Quinton.

“It was funny,” Criswell said. “We had Byrns from Westerville Central who is like 6-foot-8 and then we had some guys on the 10-and-under squad who weren’t even 4 feet tall. I was going to get a picture of three or four of the 10-and-unders standing like a totem pole next to Blake.

“You didn’t know from match to match who was going to step up. We had really strong 10-and-unders, but sometimes we ran into teams who had

Members of the Columbus team which competed in the Midwest City Team Tennis Championships included (front row) Ryan Wahl; (second row) Emma Ferguson, Lexi Steer, Chloe Sidick, Reagan Resor, Will Reynolds, Jacob Kotik, Alex Hulka, Colton Clark and Austin Karbler; (third row) head coach Jim Criswell, Patrick Yen, Mary Anne Click, Ann Marie Reynolds, Alyssa Moreau, Meghan Letizia, Lauren Gerber, Tyler Holsopple, Paige Quinton, Aaron Treglia and assistant coach Max Quinton; (back row) Eric Brunton, Blake Byrns.

really good 10-and-unders and it’d be the 18-and-unders that came through.

Other times, the 18-and-unders got cleaned out and the 10-and-unders would come through.”

Joining Brunton and Byrns on the Columbus team were Westerville’s Ryan Wahl and Upper Arlington’s Will Reynolds in the boys 10-11 age group, Powell’s Chloe Sidick and Dublin’s Emma Ferguson in girls 10-11, Lan-

caster’s Colton Clark, Upper Arlington’s Alex Hulka and Westerville’s Jacob Kotik in boys 12-13, Pataskala’s Lexi Steer and Dublin’s Reagan Resor in girls 12-13, Upper Arlington’s Ty Holsopple and Powell’s Austin Karbler (Olentangy High School) in boys 14-15, Hilliard’s Mary Anne Click (Columbus School for Girls) and Upper Arlington’s Anna Marie Reynolds in girls 14-15, Pickerington’s Patrick Yen

cuit tournament held during the winter.

In the Midwest City Team Tennis Championships, each player had to play one set of a singles match, doubles match and mixed-doubles match, with each match being worth one point. A team had to score more than 20 points to win the match.

Columbus started the tournament by defeating Indianapolis Blue 32-8 and Chicago 22-18 and losing to St. Louis 21-19 in round-robin play. Although three teams tied for first with identical 2-1 records, Columbus won its flight with 73 points, finishing ahead of Chicago (71) and St. Louis (69).

Columbus’ 14-and-under players dominated in singles and mixed doubles, going 30-0. Click, Holsopple, Karbler and Reynolds each won all five singles and mixed doubles matches.

Letizia went undefeated in the girls 18-and-under singles play and teamed with Gerber to win four doubles matches. Steer and Resor teamed to win four matches in 12-and-under doubles, and Treglia and Quinton teamed to win four matches in 16-and-under mixed doubles.

Criswell said what impressed him the most about his team’s performance was the team unity.

“It didn’t matter what age group was playing, there was someone from our team there cheering the players on,” he said. “You would have a 10-andunder (player) out there playing and there were the 18-and-under boys cheering him on. It’s such a team-oriented thing.”

Bradley, Scioto, Jerome, Olentangy, Orange and St. Charles. Columbus West, Franklin Heights, Mount Vernon, Northland and Worthington Kilbourne dropped from Division I to Division II. Licking Heights moved up from Division III to Division II, while Centennial and Independence both dropped from Division II to Division III. Fairfield Union and Jonathan Alder moved up from Division IV to Division III, Ready and Northridge moved up to Division IV from Division V and Madison Plains switches from Division IV to Division V. Africentric dropped from Division V to Division VI. •ALREADY VERBALLY COMMITTED — The first member of the 2012 recruiting class from central Ohio to verbally commit to a Division I college was Olentangy linebacker Joshua Perry with Ohio State.

Since Perry made his commitment in June 2010, the Buckeyes have added DeSales running back Warren Ball, Pickerington Central offensive lineman Jacoby Boren, Upper Arlington wide receiver Frank Epitropolous, Lancaster linebacker Luke Roberts and Pickerington North offensive lineman Pat Elflein from central Ohio.

Other area players who have made a verbal commitment include Olentangy offensive lineman Kenton Playko (Northwestern), Jerome wide receiver Cameron Wilson (Iowa), Pickerington Central linebacker Jake Kincaid (Kent State), Pickerington Central defensive back Jason O’Bryan (Kent State), Upper Arlington offensive lineman James Henry (Toledo), Marysville tight end Craig Runyan (Toledo) and Lancaster defensive lineman Aaron Woosley (Ball State).

•NEW LEADERS — There were several coaching changes among central Ohio’s programs during the offseason, and three of them have new coaches named White.

Buddy White has taken over Reynoldsburg’s program after previously serving as an assistant with the Raiders. Last year, he was an assistant at Hartley, which won the Division IV state championship.

Trevor White is Brookhaven’s new coach. He is a former Bearcats and Marion-Franklin assistant who will try to return Brookhaven to its past success after a 5-5 season last fall.

“I was pretty familiar with a lot of the guys and we’ve been working with a lot of them since January,” Trevor White said. “It’s exciting to do football pretty soon. Everybody really wants to move forward, and I’m pretty excited for the seniors.”

The other new “White” is Westland’s Steve White, who is a former Grove City assistant.

“As a first-year coach, it’s a chance to finally get a stamp on things,” Steve White said. “I’ve worked for three different guys and this is a chance to do some things from my own standpoint.”

Other new coaches in central Ohio include Lewis Carter at Columbus East, Shawn Hinkle at Canal Winchester, Mike LoParo at Hilliard Bradley, Tom Roberts at Northridge and Zebb Schroeder at Delaware.

Jim Collis will be coaching Columbus Academy after coach Mark Barren died June 9 following a heart attack. Collis coached the Vikings from 1996-2006, and they won the Division V state title in 2003.

USSSA Softball

Ohio Dragons capture 18U World Series title

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

In early July, the Ohio Dragons 18-and-under fastpitch travel softball team wasn’t sure if it was going to follow up on a trip it had earned in mid-June.

“We qualified for the USSSA Eastern Regional World Series in the second week of June by finishing second in a qualifier in Beavercreek,” coach Ken Seidel said. “But we reached a point where we talked about not going because we weren’t playing to our ability and it could be a waste of time and money.”

The team started to play better, however, and made the decision to compete in the World Series, which was July 25-30 in Salisbury, Md. The Dragons had a 17-18 record before leaving but went 7-1-1 to win the double-elimination tournament, which featured 27 teams from seven states.

“The girls went crazy on the field when it was over,” said Seidel, who was assisted by Warren Shoff. “It was a special moment for us. We stayed the night (July 30) after we won and I woke up the next morning wondering if it was all a dream. But then I looked over and saw the trophy. “(The championship) proved

DELANDE Continued from page B1 23 touchdowns on 398 carries.

He was named first-team allOCC-Buckeye Division and alldistrict and special mention allstate.

“Bo has been a huge part of our offense this year,” White said during the 2006 season. “He isn’t necessarily the fastest kid on the field. He normally isn’t the biggest kid, isn’t the strongest kid, but I find it hard to believe there’s too many kids tougher than him that are on the field when we’re playing.

“He never falls backward, he’s always falling forward. He gets positive yardage.”

Davidson rushed for 345 yards on 72 carries against Mentor, outmatching the Cardinals’ nohuddle offense that passed for 327 yards.

“That had to be the most ridiculous ending to a game, let alone a season, that I can remember,” said Dietz, who is entering his senior year at the U.S. Air Force Academy. “Everything fell into place.”

“It was a pretty special night for everybody in Hilliard,” White said. “It was one of those things that you never expect to happen and when it happens I don’t know if you really know how to react to it. Everybody tells you enjoy the moment, but at that time you’re so concentrated on what you’re trying to accomplish, I don’t know that you can really enjoy it. We’ve certainly looked back upon it with some fond memories since then.”

Delande, who had rushed for 1,304 and nine touchdowns as a junior at Davidson, is the oldest of three brothers who have excelled athletically for the Wildcats.

Spencer Delande was a key member of the football team when it won the 2009 state championship by defeating Cleveland Glenville 16-15 in the

what we knew all along, that the team we had was capable of big things if they played to their abilities. I’m not sure the girls knew it or believed it, but we could tell that if they put it all together, this was a special group.”

Even more special is that everyone on the roster is eligible to return next season.

“In about one month, we went from underachieving and wondering what will happen next year to now, where all the girls are excited and wanted the season to continue,” Seidel said.

The team was comprised of four graduates, seven seniors and one junior representing six high schools.

Graduates on the roster were Katy Bender, Amanda Jones and Kaylee Shoff of Pickerington Central and Skyle Dorsey of Central Crossing.

Gahanna was represented by seniors Tanya Busby, Kate Hann and Sarah Seidel and junior Sara Nelson, with Westerville North seniors Sami Dustman and Alli Rowland, Westerville South senior Lindsey Gerhart and Upper Arlington senior Stephanie Turner rounding out the roster.

The Dragons defeated the Churchville (Md.) Lightning 10 in the winners’ bracket final on July 30 to reach the champi-

onship. They scored the lone run in the top of the seventh inning on consecutive two-out singles

by Rowland, Jones and Hann.

Churchville then beat Delaware Diamond Gold 4-3 to earn a rematch with the Dragons later that day.

In the rematch, the Dragons scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning on singles by Dustman and Seidel, two errors, a wild pitch and a fielder’s choice. Seidel’s single drove in two runs.

Rowland pitched for the Dragons and allowed a run in both the fourth and fifth, but she retired Churchville in order in the sixth and seventh as Ohio held on for a 3-2 win.

“I think Alli Rowland pitched all but four innings and she was strong,” coach Seidel said. “We also had some great outfield play, especially Tanya Busby. We added her before the tournament and she solidified our outfield.

Sara Nelson also made some terrific plays at third base throughout the tournament.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com Dustman was named tourna- www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com ment Most Valuable Player and Rowland was selected Most Outstanding Pitcher.

Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered.

Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 2-10. Let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

NOS. 2-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries.

9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists.

8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arling-ton girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24).

7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the freethrow line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists.

6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with

cessful and I’m sure we’ll be successful at Central.”

Megan Mills, a junior guard, is looking forward to working with her new coach.

“I think he’ll be a really good coach,” she said. “He’s looking to make our program a lot better because it’s not the greatest right now and he has great expectations to do that. With his leadership, he’s going to bring us all together. And with the coaching techniques that he explained (Aug. 4), nothing is impossible and we can do everything as long as we’re together.”

Pride calls himself a defensive-minded coach and wants to promote a fast-paced scheme.

Although he realizes there will be increased intensity and competition moving from a Division IV program to Division I, he is ready for the challenge.

“That’s something that I talked a lot about during my interview,” Pride said. “I’ve prepared myself well for this type of jump. I look at basketball as basketball. I’ve played at a high level and I know what it takes from a player’s standpoint and a coach’s standpoint to be able to be successful at the D-I level.”

Pride has served as athletics director at Gilead Christian the past six years. He plans to maintain that position for now but will keep his options open as he seeks full-time employment in the Westerville area.

Pride is a 1997 graduate of Amundsen High School in Chicago and a 2002 graduate of North Park University, also located in Chicago. He played guard at the prep and collegiate levels.

“Once I moved from Chicago, my goal was to just get in anywhere, get my feet wet and just get a feel for Ohio basketball,” he said. “After a couple of years, I was ready to move on to a bigger stage. Once that position became available, I immediately applied.”

Pride and his wife, Amanda, have three children: Jillian, 7, Jada, 5, and Jace, 1.

a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2.

The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held.

5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining.

4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 4-1 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd.

3. GREG AVERY, Newark boys basketball (March 15, 2008) — Avery led the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory over Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game.

The 6-3 senior forward tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals as the Wildcats captured their first state title since 1943. Avery made third-team all-state his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. He became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 points, finishing with 1,131 career points.

2. RYAN WILSON, Westerville North boys track and field (June 5-6, 1998) — Wilson qualified for the Division I state meet in four events all four years of his prep career. Perhaps his greatest feat at state occurred in 1998, as he lived up to his own high expectations in many aspects, winning the long jump (23 feet, 1 inch) on the first day of competition and coming back on day two with titles in the 110meter hurdles (13.95 seconds) and 300 hurdles (37.1). He also placed seventh in the 200. The three titles he won that weekend gave North 30 points and a co-championship in Division I with Brunswick. In 1999, he defended his titles in the 110 hurdles (13.7) and 300 hurdles (36.46).

Experience the Excellence and Passion!

Since 2000, over 6,000 students have taken dance classes at NorthPointe Dance Academy. As a parent, we realize you have a choice between several different studios. All studios are not the same... We are the dance studio that cares about our community. NorthPointe enjoys performing for local charities and supporting our local PTO’s. We volunteer and teach each year at Olentangy Schools’ Enrichment Days, supplementing our children’s education with dance. As we celebrate our twelth anniversary, we invite you to compare all of our features and options to see why our studio has been chosen as one of the Top 50 studios in the country by Dance Spirit Magazine and the Federation of Dance Competitions (FDC)! NorthPointe dancers just participated in the first annual Dance Awards held at the Beacon Theatre in New York (home of the 2011 Tony Awards). NorthPointe students were also selected to dance at the World Dance Championship in Texas (an invitation only competition).

Qualified, Caring Instructors NorthPointe Dance Academy teachers have a strong commitment to teaching excellence. Offering many years of dance experience, each staff member demonstrates passion and dedication to dance in their area of expertise. They are chosen not only for their qualifications, but for their ability to love, nurture, and inspire their students.

Convenience and Choice Students and parents can choose from a wide range of dance programs. Many are offered at the same time making scheduling easier. We are conveniently located making us easy to get to from many commumities.

Class Size Our smaller class size ensures that each child will receive personalized attention, learn more, and have more fun. With younger students it is easier to maintain control of the class and make sure each student understands the concepts and instructions. NorthPointe’s commitment is to the proper and age-appropriate training of each dancer.

New Facility Our new 12,000 sq. ft. facility has six dance studios featuring full-length mirrors, ballet barres, variable speed CD players, and pro-sound systems. Our marley floor allows dancers to slide with control but not slippery. All studios have floating floors with over 700 high-foam blocks under the service. Our special floors help reduce the risk of injuries and allow students to dance longer without getting tired.

Customer Service Knowledgeable, helpful desk staff are available to assist students during class time. We strive to provide outstanding service and take care of all the details so attending lessons are hassle free and enjoyable.

“NorthPointe has a sense of community, family, and relationships that make it a special place to dance. Not only do we have some of the best, current, and caring dance teachers in the area, but we have some of the best support from families! Dance has been a great way for our daughters to express themselves with the joy of music and art.”

-The Playko Family “NorthPointe Dance Academy is dance, fun, and friends.”

-Arrhianna and Alyse Playko “We love the experienced teachers at NorthPointe who nurture the love of dance with warmth & fun for our daughters.”

-Martha Miller The staff at NorthPointe is first class! They are friendly and caring, yet strict in the discipline of dance. They have taught my daughters poise and self-confidence and they love attending the classes.

-Suzanne Polk “Dancing at NorthPointe has given me the chance to express my feelings in a creative and fun way. Best of all, NorthPointe has allowed me to find friends that will last a lifetime.”

-Abby Brown Our daughter Olivia has danced at NDA since 2003. Watching her transform from a 5 year old little girl into a beautiful and graceful dancer has been an amazing journey!

-Mark & Julie Gutentag

Joining in on the fun are guitarist Dan Faehnle of Pink Martini and Diana Krall fame and singer Jonathan Elliott of the Columbus band, The Floorwalkers.

Tickets are $27-$15 and include Zoo admission. Call (614) 724-3485 or call the Jazz Arts Group about table reservations at (614) 294-5200.

The camp culminates with a public performance by the men’s and women’s choruses from among the attendees, both separate and combined, as well as by the host Singing Buckeyes. Other performers include Columbus Sweet Adelines Chorus, 2008 international champion quartet OC Times, 2010 Sweet Adelines international champion quartet Maxx Factor and a special appearance by the reigning international collegiate quartet champion Prestige, a group formed while its members were student singers attending the camp and continues now at Bowling Green State University.
