Boratyn, Kish leave city for state jobs Mayor may restructure human resources, service safety departments

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Two new state office-holders dipped into Reynoldsburg’s ranks to fill positions on their own staffs.

New Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine hired former city service safety director Pam Boratyn as general counsel. Treasurer Josh Mandel hired former Reynoldsburg human resources director Megan Kish to be human resources director with his office.

Both women started their new jobs Jan. 10 after resigning from their city posts effective Jan. 6.

“It all came about pretty fast, I found out late December, and it all came together pretty quickly,” Mayor Brad McCloud said.

The loss of Boratyn and Kish may herald further changes at the city level.

Jim Miller, Reynoldsburg’s director of engineering, will be acting service director “pending further definition on how we move forward, “McCloud said.

The mayor himself will take over safety director duties for the time being.

“I have preliminary ideas about the restructure but no concrete plans on how everything is going to come together,” he said.

He said Kish’s duties will be covered by the department’s staff for now but said he may want to consider restructuring.

“Again, I’m not sure how that will be restructured, if in fact it is,” McCloud said.

Boratyn, 48, was appointed safety service director in March 2008, replacing Steve DeBolt, and bringing 19 years of related experience and background to the job.

Her salary in Reynoldsburg was $73,000 annually. She will be paid $115,000 per year in her new position.

Kish was paid $55,302 annually in Reynoldsburg but the job did not come with benefits.

Angela Hawkins, a spokesperson for Mandel’s office, said late last week she

did not know yet what Kish’s salary will be in her new job.

She said Kish said was chosen because of years of 15 years of experience in human resources management at both the state and local level.

Kish graduated from The Ohio State University in 1993 with a degree in history.

She worked in fundraising campaigns for former state Sen. Gene Watts and forSee STATE JOBS, page A2

No changes WINTER HIKE in 2011 city council committees

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Reynoldsburg City Council ushered in the year on Jan. 4 with an organizational meeting that produced no changes in committees or their chairs for 2011.

Council approved the committee assignments recommended by President William Hills. Following the organizational meeting, each committee met to elect its chairman and appoint a vice chairman. They are: Community development committee: Leslie Kelly, chair; Barth R. Cotner, vice chair; Chris Long, Nathan Burd Safety committee: Mel Clemens, chair; Chris Long, vice chair; Nathan Burd, Fred Deskins Jr. Service committee: Doug Joseph, chair; Nathan Burd, vice chair; Barth R. Cotner, Chris Long Finance committee: Fred Deskins Jr., chair; Doug Joseph, vice chair; Leslie Kelly, Mel Clemens Also during the meeting Joseph was appointed to serve as president pro tempore of council for the year.

Hills said he made no changes in committee appointments because he didn’t think any were needed.

“I made my recommendations on who I thought of being in the appropriate positions last year,” he said. “I don’t see anything changing on council from last year to this year. I don’t stir the pots if I don’t feel there’s a need to.”

In other business, the safety committee heard from Reynoldsburg Police Chief Dave Suciu about a new liquor permit request for Lancaster Wings Inc., doing business as Buffalo Wild Wings, to be located at 2856 Taylor Road. Suciu said after investigating the permit request, he found there was no reason to appeal the application.

Development director Lucas Haire had few details See COMMITTEES, page A5

Local carbon monoxide death blamed on faulty furnace

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Truro Township Fire Lt. Bob Conaway said a woman was killed and three others were being treated at ThisWeek’s press time on Tuesday, Jan. 11, after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning inside their home in the 1100 block of Gibson Road.

Conaway said the four victims — two adult men, a woman and a 10-year-old boy — were found inside the home at around 8:30 a.m.

He said the woman who died was found in the living room, while the other three victims were found in bed.

Event honoring King planned at City Hall

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The public is encouraged to participate in an event honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Jan. 17 in council chambers at the Reynoldsburg municipal building, 7232 E. Main St. This year’s theme is “Keeping Hope Alive Today, Tomorrow, and the Future.” The event is sponsored by the We Touch and Agree Christian Ministries in Reynoldsburg.

Church communication director Bruce Sowell said the event has been growing in popularity since the group established it 10 years ago.

He said the entire community is welcome because King was for everybody, not just African Americans.

“It’s important because it gives the community a focal point in which we reflect on Dr. King’s dream. It’s not just having the day off, it’s a day of reflection,” Sowell said.

“It’s about ‘what did I do today to change somebody’s life?’ Did I volunteer something

today? Did I call a shut-in, did I sit down and tutor a kid? What did I do today and what are you going to do tomorrow?” he said.

Sowell said he especially wants to encourage students from Reynoldsburg High School to attend because much of the program is directed at the youth in the community.

down to help build clinics, churches and schools,” RUMC lead pastor Jeff Greenway said.

Political unrest in the country halted those regular missions about four years ago because the area was becoming too unsafe for travel, but the church would send individuals — instead of a team — to check on some of the missions it had started, Greenway said.

“But when the earthquake oc-

curred, all the previous issues about stability and safety kind of disappeared because the need was so profound and the world was ready to come,” he said.

“The issues there before were certainly an impoverished nation wrought by political corruption.

Two community service awards will be handed out, one to RHS senior Mate Popkhadze and one to Reynoldsburg police officer Joe Pickering, a member of the Reynoldsburg Church of Christ.

Without giving away too many details until the night of the event, Sowell said the two were chosen because of their great contributions to the community outside of their regular daily routines.

A keynote address will focus on “keeping hope alive and what we can do to change the situation of our youth today,” Sowell said.

“This generation is probably the most connected generation there ever is, but at the same time, there’s a lot of troubling things happening right now with them, and especially with AfricanAmerican youth,” he said. “We have to turn things around. A lot of youth out here today feel there’s no hope — if you’ve noticed the teen suicides, the school shootings — so we want to concentrate to make sure they know there is hope out

Reynoldsburg High School

Financial aid advice offered to parents, students

By DAVID S. OWEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Reynoldsburg High School will offer a free Financial Aid Night at 7 p.m. Jan. 25 in the school’s auditorium for parents of college-bound students.

“It’s really to help educate them on financial aid and paying for college next year and gives them information bout completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form,” school counselor Donna Miracle said. “Also, it provides the most updated information about federal grants and federal loans.”

For the past four years, Laura Meek,

a Reynoldsburg resident and director of financial aid office at Ohio Dominican University, has volunteered her time to conduct the informational meeting at the high school.

Miracle said the meeting will offer generalized information about financial aid. It is not specific to ODU or any one college or university.

“Laura does such a good job and is so knowledgeable and is willing to come and share all of her expertise with our parents, it’s a great deal and for free,” Miracle said.

During the meeting, she said she will also discuss the overall financial aid

process as well as scholarship opportunities.

“We spend about 45 minutes to one hour and it’s detailed, because most parents don’t really know how the system works, and most are looking for guidance and how to get started,” Meek said.

“I mean, there are a variety of financial aid sources — you’ve got the federal government, the state government, colleges and universities, private resources and the local PTAs.” Meek said she also will discuss what to expect in terms of what information colleges and universities send to parents and students and how to compare finan-

cial aid packages. She said the structure of the meeting includes a question-andanswer period.

Meek has been involved in financial aid at ODU for 10 years, two as director.

She said while college costs are rising every year, financial aid programs are not keeping pace.

“Even though we’ve seen small increases in the Pell Grant program, everyone is aware that we might have state budget cuts, and we don’t know what the outlook is at this point,” Meek said.

She said she discusses opportunities offered by both public and private institutions and said many students can find

— you know it had to be severe for it to take that type of political climate and make that secondary,” said Dennis Franko, director of worship arts and messaging for the church.

Based upon the church’s longstanding relationship in Haiti, members were able to get approval to come into the country earlier than most, other than the first-responders.

In the weeks that followed last year’s earthquake, the RUMC mission committee developed a plan to schedule six mission trips to Haiti over a six-month period.

Leveraging their longtime relationship with Rev. Gesner Paul, president of the United Methodist Church in Haiti, Reynoldsburg UMC teams were assigned to the village of Duplan and charged with the task of helping to build a medical clinic.

Greenway said this construction was the first primary mission for the RUMC teams, but during a second weeklong visit church members met a resident of Petionville, Pierre Louis Cherubin, whose nickname is “Jhonny.”

Cherubin was asked to show the team where his house once stood — a house that had provided shelter and home to 14 men, women and children, Greenway said.

“We saw Jhonny’s house toppled and collapsed. It had literally cascaded down the ravine, pancaking in on itself,” he said.

“All of the homes in Jhonny’s community fell like dominos, one on top of another down the valley, taking with them the lives of 150 people.

“I’m a rational individual, but in that emotionally charged moment, I can honestly say that I felt and heard God’s voice calling us to rebuild Jhonny’s neighborhood, one home at a time.”

Using the more than $125,000 raised through fundraisers and donations, the church paid local Haitian construction workers to begin building houses, each of which cost about $3,000.

“What we’re doing is employing about 10 Haitian workers to support their families while they’re rebuilding the houses, so it’s really like economic development for a neighborhood,” Greenway said. “Every penny of the money donated goes toward building houses and employing

Haitian workers to build them.”

In addition, Franko said, people who volunteer to go on the mission trips pay their own way.

The cost is about $1,100 each, with no money being taken out of the church’s budget or from the Jhonny’s Hope fund.

Since they began building last September, three houses have been constructed. Jhonny Cherubin’s was the first one completed.

A team of five individuals from the church were slated to dedicate the completed medical clinic on Jan. 12, the one-year anniversary of the earthquake.

Franko said those interested in donating to the Jhonny’s Hope fund should direct them to Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church/“Jhonny’s Hope” and deliver them to the church, 1636 Graham Road, Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068.

Greenway said the overall mission for the church is to see that 100 homes are built in Haiti.

“It would be great if we could help rebuild that whole community, and we want to get to the

that they are eligible for financial aid, regardless of family income.

Meek said the meetings have grown in popularity over the past years, having started out in the high school library and since then having it moved to the auditorium two years ago to accommodate more people.

Both parents as well as students attend the meetings and Meek said they do not need to bring anything except themselves and any questions they might have.

place where there is so much community involvement on the part of the Haitians there that we could do three or four houses every time we go,” he said.

“Right now, it’s building the trust relationship between them and us. Now that Jhonny’s house is complete and the word is out that a group of people from the States are committed to employing and housing Haitian people, there’s a lot of energy around that,” he said.

Greenway said for the foreseeable future, about once a quarter, RUMC plan to send teams to Haiti.

“Getting the word out certainly makes it easier for us to be able to help more people,” Greenway said.

“Our philosophy at our church that was born out of this is called ‘Pray, Give, Go,’ so certainly everybody can pray for these efforts, or people can give financially, and those who are physically able are encouraged to go on a mission trip,” Franko said. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

mer Gov. Bob Taft, and was later hired in the human resources department for then-Ohio Auditor Jim Petro, where she stayed from 1995 to 2003.

During that period, Kish earned a master of science degree in administration from Central Michigan University in 2000.

In 2003, after Petro was elected state attorney general, Kish worked in that office as director of human resources until Marc Dann took over as attorney general in 2007.

While working in Petro’s office as human resource director, Kish said she handled a number of responsibilities, including recruitment, employee training, benefits, labor relations, workers compensation and disability for a full-time staff of more than 1,200 people.

Boratyn said the connections she established throughout her career got her the job offer from the DeWine camp.

“I had been in the AG’s office before and I had conversations with them and at the end of last year they made an offer,” she said.

Her new responsibilities as general counsel will include overseeing several departments in DeWine’s office: labor, employment, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, transportation, opinions, and collections and revenue recovery.

Boratyn graduated from Miami University in 1983 with a bachelor’s degree in diplomacy, foreign affairs and political science. She received a master’s degree in American political systems from Miami in 1985.

She began her career as a legal assistant and paralegal with the Casper & Casper Law firm in 1985 and became a paid legislative intern with the Ohio Legislative Commission in 1987.

In 1989, she became an aide to an Ohio senator, and in 1991 she became a legislative liaison for then-Gov. George Voinovich. During this time, she attended Capital University Law School, receiving her law degree and passing the bar in 1992.

She continued working for the state, taking a position as legal counsel in the Office of General Counsel with the Department of Administration Services, Division of Computer and Information System Services and Telecommunication, in 1993.

In 1995, Boratyn became assistant attorney general in then-Ohio Attorney General Betty

Montgomery’s office. She was named assistant chief legal counsel in 1996 and chief legal counsel in 1998.

During these years, she worked with the Federal Highway Administration, the EPA and the Public Utilities Commission while managing a 26-member litigation section of 17 attorneys and staff. She said she also provided transactional legal advice and litigation services to the Ohio Department of Transportation, the Ohio Rail Development Commission and the Ohio Arts Council.

When Montgomery moved on to be state auditor, Boratyn became deputy chief legal counsel for that office In 2003. She served as chief legal counsel from 2005-07.

Boratyn said she has had a great experience in Reynoldsburg, praising the administration, staff and the opportunities.

“I worked with some really great people. They are all very hard-working people in this city,” she said. “I got to build on my own experiences as being an attorney and in transportation, instead of being the adviser and dealing with just the legal issues dealing with the other side, the business and management side of those issues.”

Accepting DeWine’s job is related to her dedication in working in the public sector, she said.

“I have a long history of working in the government, so this is another move in the public sector, which I’ve dedicated my life to working in,” Boratyn said. “This also helps me go back into more of the practice of law, which I had been doing until I came to Reynoldsburg.”

Several attempts to reach Kish were unsuccessful. She was hired by McCloud in January 2008 to fill a part-time position as the city’s director of human resources.

McCloud said he hired her because she is a motivator, gets more out of employees, streamlines, knows purchasing, the Fraternal Order of Police and labor negotiations and assisted him with all aspects of those efforts.

He said he is glad to see the two women advance their careers.

“I am happy for both of them. They have been outstanding directors, but it’s also a compliment to the level of talent because they were both sought by the respective office-holders,” he said. “They weren’t shopping their resumes around and I wish them nothing but success.” dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

FAULTY FURNACE Continued from page A1 Conaway said the two men were taken to Ohio State University hospitals and put in a hyperbaric chamber, which treats carbon monoxide poisoning. They were in critical condition early Tuesday afternoon.

The child was taken to Nationwide Children’s Hospital. His condition had been upgraded to good, Conaway said.

Conaway said neighbors told rescue officials they were supposed to meet the victims Tuesday morning but when they did not show up, one of the neighbors looked through the front window of the residence and noticed the woman on the floor.

“They didn’t show up, so the neighbors came up and could see through the front window that somebody was laying on the floor inside and called 911,” Conaway said.

He said the neighbor told the 911 dispatcher they believed the victims were having trouble with their furnace. Conaway said deadly levels of carbon monoxide were detected in the home.

“We checked our meters and it was high carbon monoxide — 400 parts per million, which is lethal,” Conaway said.

He said Columbia Gas officials were called to the scene and determined the furnace is at fault.

“I don’t think they had a carbon monoxide detector in the home but they were disoriented, which is one of the symptoms of carbon monoxide, so they had to be carried out of the house to the medic and taken to the hospital,” he said. dowen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Commentary & opinion As it were

State and High streets: A picture from the past The past can tell us its story in a lot of ways — with diaries, letters and descriptions by people of the events that make up their lives. We can also learn a lot about a city by looking at pictures from time to time, especially if the picture is clear and crisp and full of detail.

And this picture is just that.

It was taken about 100 years ago. A photographer placed his camera about a third of the way into the intersection of State and High streets in Columbus and aimed it to the south along High Street. The photographer has been careful to take a picture without too many people, whose rapid movement might only show up as an occasional blur in the image.

The photographer wants as much precise detail as possible because this picture, like many others, will later be made into a postcard.

But in the making of the postcard image — even with a lot of color added — some of the original detail of the photograph is lost. In the original photograph, much of what made downtown Columbus a special place in the early 1900s can be seen once again.

Columbus in the early 1900s was known as the Arch City. It is easy to see why. Straddling High Street every half-block or so is a series of metal arches illuminated by electric lights and topped with American flags. Each of the lights is a clear incandescent light bulb, just like the ones many of us still use at home. And each of them needed to be changed when they burned out, which in those days was rather frequently.

Nevertheless, the arches were popular and had been for some time. The arches had originally been erected in 1888 when more than 250,000 people came to Columbus for the 22nd annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Ohio’s rather modest capital city had never seen anything quite like the tent city the veterans built during their more than weeklong stay. The arches were originally designed to be temporary and keep the streets lit during the convention to deter crime.

However, they proved to be quite popular. Eventually, the wooden arches, lit by gas, were replaced by the metal arches lit by electricity that we see in this picture. The arches also provided electric power to the streetcars that traveled along the brick streets of Columbus.

Columbus had grown a lot since the veterans came to town in 1888. The opening of the Hocking Valley’s coal, lumber and iron resources after the Civil War led to the rise of several major industries in a city that had once been mostly a commercial and governmental center. By 1910, Columbus was a city of more than 180,000 people and, among other things, was the “Buggy Capital of the World.”

We are looking at the commercial heart of this growing city.

But it is also a place where many people still live. Columbus, like most cities, has a few skyscrap-

ers. But most of the commercial buildings in the city are still four and five stories tall.

Built in an ED era before elLENTZ evators, they reflect the simple fact that most people will not walk up more than a few flights of stairs to their homes or places of business. Many of these buildings have metal fire escapes attached to their fronts and sides.

While the buildings look substantial, most of their interiors are made of wood and the threat of fire is still quite real in a city where gas lights are as common as electric bulbs.

Along the sidewalk to the right can be seen what appear to be a number of large stone blocks along the curb. These are steps to provide more easy access to one’s carriage. While automobiles are becoming a more common sight, many people still rely on horsedrawn carriages as well as the streetcar system to make their way around town.

The shops and stores along High Street provide the widest variety of goods and services to the people who live and work nearby. Most of these merchants have placed large signs on their stores and projecting from them advertising their services. They range from Murnan’s taxi service and “sports parlor” on the left to the more elegant Good-

man Jewelers on the right. In the distance on the right, at the corner of Town and High streets, can be seen the distinctive tower of the F. & R. Lazarus department store.

There are other distinctive elements of this city of a century ago. Watches were a luxury many people could not afford; the timepieces were worn only on special occasions. To help keep track of the time, large clocks like the one at the right of the picture stood at many major intersections. To meet the need for information, some of the city’s several newspapers were sold by newsboys (and occasionally newsgirls) like the ones we see to the left of the picture.

Most of the people we see in the picture seem reasonably welldressed in suits and ties for the men and fashionable dresses for the ladies. By the standards of our time, they are indeed welldressed and — in mostly wool clothing — probably a bit uncomfortable. But by the standards of their day, this was just the common attire of day-to-day life.

This was a world that had changed a lot during the lives of the people we see here. But for the most part, these people were accustomed to change and had learned to live with it. And perhaps that is just as well, since a lot more change was not all that far away.

Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Development proposed along Route 310

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Etna Township zoning commission has begun to evaluate a “planned mixed-use development” on 86 acres along state Route 310.

“It’s a pretty significant mixed-use development on one of our most significant thoroughfares,” said Chris Harkness, township zoning administrator. “It’s also sandwiched between two of our larger residential subdivisions, Cumberland Trail to the south and Cameron Chase to the northeast.”

The proposal covers land both east and west of Route 310 and would require construction of access roads that eventually would require a traffic signal. A traffic estimate submitted with the application states that current traffic on the roadway is more than 10,000 vehicle trips daily, and both right and left turn lanes would be required on any crossroad.

Attorney Connie Klema, on behalf of JBW properties, submitted the application. The land is zoned for agricultural use.

The proposal calls for retail development on the west of Route 310 and professional office development on the east of 310, with residential development to the rear of each.

The plans call for a connecting roadway to Cameron Chase that would allow for the residential developments to have access to each other but no connection to Cumberland Trail.

“Generally, PUD allows for development of larger sites, more often than not, and allows for non-uniform zoning regulations compared to standard zoning,” Harkness said. “In a PUD you can have different areas have different uses and be more site specific. It allows for a mixing of what might have been three or four different types of zoning, professional office, commercial use, multifamily and single-family residential and a nursing-care facility.”

Most municipalities have PUD zoning, Harkness said, but townships are less common. Both developers and governments like the option because of its flexibility. Under traditional straight zoning, requirements such as lot size and setbacks are clear and fixed and apply throughout the zoning area. In PUD zoning, requirements could be customized for various purposes and special conditions could be attached.

Raiders eager to be full strength

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Rebecca Padula/ThisWeek

Reynoldsburg coach Chris Rider talks with his team during a timeout in the fourth quarter of last Friday’s game against Gahanna. The visiting Raiders lost the OCCOhio Division game 70-39.

Boys Basketball

Reynoldsburg sees bright spots

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

At a glance

Now in the second half of its regular season schedule, a rebuilt Reynoldsburg High School boys basketball team has begun to take shape after spending significant time this season figuring out how its pieces fit.

The Raiders beat Groveport 59-48 on Jan. 3 to post their third win in four games and have six of their final nine regular-season games at home, including Friday when they conclude the first round of OCC-Ohio Division play against Pickerington Central.

Still, unless the Raiders continue the improvement they showed over the holiday break, they could be in danger of their first non-winning season since going 11-11 during coach Chris Rider’s second season with the program in 1998-99.

A 70-39 loss last Friday at Gahanna dropped Reynoldsburg to 4-7 overall and 3-3 in the OCC-Ohio.

Among the things that came to light during the season’s first half included: •The combination of 6-foot-7 junior post player Ryan Carter and 6-4 sophomore forward Wendell Davis has potential inside.

Davis had a 27-point performance during a 78-53 loss to Delaware on Dec. 18 and scored in double figures in eight of the Raiders’ first 11 games.

During the third quarter of the win over Groveport, Davis had eight points, two rebounds and two steals and Carter had two points and three rebounds as Reynoldsburg rallied from a 2927 deficit to lead 43-35 heading into the final period.

Below are the recent results and coming schedule for the Reynoldsburg boys basketball team: *Last Friday — Lost to Gahanna 70-39. Wendell Davis scored 15 points for the Raiders, who were outscored 19-6 in the third quarter. *Friday — Home vs. Pickerington Central. Last season, the Raiders split with the Tigers, winning the first game 67-52 and losing the rematch 65-45.

Of note: The Raiders are 4-7 overall and 3-3 in the OCC-Ohio. *OCC-Ohio game

Carter scored a season-high 12 points in an 82-46 loss to Huber Heights Wayne on Dec. 30.

“I think Wendell’s been pretty consistently getting 10 rebounds a game,” Rider said.

“He’s awfully good around 15 foot and in. Down the road, he could come out on the perimeter like (2002 graduate Monty) Scott. “(Carter’s) coming along. He played football, and it takes big guys longer to get adjusted after that. He’s physical so he’s got to rebound the basketball for us.”

•The Raiders could have their point guard of the future, and possibly the present, in Travis Gleason.

A 5-foot-6 freshman, Gleason spent most of the season’s first two weeks on junior varsity but began moving into the varsity rotation against Delaware.

He scored 15 points against Groveport, including five free throws in the fourth quarter.

Gleason’s presence at the least provides depth to a backcourt that includes juniors Spencer Kirksey and Chris Lee and sophomore Jaylen Givens.

Much like last season, the Reynoldsburg High School wrestling team struggled in its first two OCC-Ohio Division matches this season as a result of glaring holes in its lineup, as it lost to Gahanna 48-20 and Grove City 41-25 on Jan. 6 at Lancaster.

The Raiders had to forfeit the 152- and 171-pound weight classes against Gahanna and had to forfeit at 140, 152, 160 and 171 against Grove City, as Nick Johnston (152) was out with an illness and James Love (160) and Dalton Hoover (171) were out with undisclosed injuries.

“We knew that Gahanna is one of the better teams in our area, but we thought we could have been competitive with Grove City if we had a full team,” coach Jared Ball said.

“It’s frustrating, because when you forfeit four weight classes, that’s giving up 24 points right there. We won as many matches (five) as Grove City did, but the forfeits really hurt us just like they did last year.”

But unlike last season when the Raiders had only 23 athletes in their program, Ball believes his team could be at full strength soon. In fact, he is optimistic his squad will be able to fill every weight class today when it competes against Pickerington Central and Pickerington North at Central in OCC-Ohio matches.

Reynoldsburg lost to Central 43-31 and to North 60-13 last season, but Ball is hoping Johnston, Hoover and Love will be healthy and that Brad Syfers will make the cut from 145 to 140 for the first time this season.

“If we get all of our guys back, I think we’ll have two competitive dual matches,” Ball said. “But both Pickerington teams will be tough to beat.

North is reloading with a young team, but they’re still good. And Central is well-coached.”

The Raiders are looking forward to another opportunity to beat their former coach, Jason Allen, who is in his second season as coach at Central. Allen guided Reynoldsburg to three consecutive district titles from 2006-08.

“Our old coach left us, so that gives us more motivation to try to wrestle our best against his See WRESTLE, page B3

Girls Basketball

Raiders excelling with inexperienced roster

By KEN KITCHEN This Week Community Newspapers

Youth isn’t hindering the Reynoldsburg High School girls basketball team.

The Raiders, who have just one senior on the roster in Kacia Grant, have started 11-1 overall and 7-0 in the OCC-Ohio Division after last Friday’s 51-43 win over Gahanna.

Freshman Alyssa Rice and sophomores Destini Cooper, Yamonie Jenkins and Shiloh Murphy join Grant in the starting lineup.

The young players are helping to

replace Aryelle Covington, Kenyell Goodson and T’Shera Lucas, seniors who led the Raiders to their first regional title last season.

Covington, Goodson and Lucas started a combined 272 games and scored a combined 2,684 points for Reynoldsburg.

Coach Jack Purtell said many of his returning players are young, but they’re far from inexperienced. Many played on last year’s team that lost to Canton McKinley 42-39 in overtime in a state semifinal.

“Everybody on our team got the

tournament experience last year.

Destini, Yamonie and Aliyah Zantt either came off the bench, started or played a lot,” he said. “Our players all play on high-level AAU teams as well, so it’s just a matter of getting the young kids used to playing at this level and playing against older kids.”

Cooper already has started 39 games for the Raiders.

“We haven’t played together for a long time, but we play a lot and we know how to play against older players,” she said. “We know defensive

stuff and certain moves that work on offense and mentally how to take care of things.”

Six players have led the team in scoring this season. Rice has accomplished it five times and Zantt four times.

Jenkins has led the way twice and Cooper, Murphy and junior Adesuwa Aideyman all have done it once.

The only rotation player who has not led the team in scoring in a game is Grant, a three-year starter whom Purtell called the best defender he’s ever coached.

“As a senior, she provides not just

verbal encouragement and leadership, but shows it as well with how she works hard in practice,” Purtell said.

“And every thing she does, she does fast.”

Grant was the Most Valuable Player when the Raiders went 3-0 in the Basketball Brothers Inc. tournament in Fort Myers, Fla., during the holiday break.

Purtell also has been pleased with Rice, who is averaging 11 points per game.

Hartley Roundup

Wrestling team enters CIT with complete lineup

By CORY STEGER

At a glance

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Hartley High School wrestling team knows it faces a stern test when it competes in the 50th annual Catholic Invitational Tournament on Saturday and Sunday at Toledo Central Catholic.

However, the Hawks are eager to see how they fare at the event, which features nearly 40 parochial schools from around the state, as they expect to have a full lineup for the first time this season.

Hartley started the season late because of its football team’s run to the Division IV state championship. Coach Kevin Petrella expected to have almost a full lineup for the Marion Harding Classic held Dec. 28-29, but not all of the wrestlers made weight and only six competed in the 31-team event. “Obviously, we want to win and do well (at the CIT), but we just don’t have the firepower to compete for a team title,�

Petrella said. “We just want to keep working to get better. We want to beat the guys we’re supposed to beat and beat some others that we’re not expected to beat as well.�

The expected lineup for the CIT is Dominique Scott at 103 pounds, Grant Rathburn at 112, Jason Mercier at 125, Jordan Zang at 171, Napoleon Bell at 189, Evan Jackson at 215 and Jordan Dickerson at heavyweight. Three weight classes — 130, 135 and 140 — are yet to be determined, and Petrella isn’t sure if Drake Jones (152) is able to wrestle because of a hamstring injury.

Thus far, the Hawks have done relatively well considering the late start. Of the six Hawks who competed in the Marion Harding Classic, three of them placed. Zang was runner-up, Jackson finished third and Dickerson was fourth. “That was our first real competition and I thought we performed well,� Petrella said. “We lost a few matches that I think if we wrestle (those opponents) again later in the year that we’ll win.�

Believing the Hawks have the potential to win the CCL title and have postseason success, Petrella continues to push his team. “I always have a lot higher expecta-

tions of the guys, and the assistant (coaches) have to remind me it can take some time,â€? he said. “We’ve seen some good stuff so far, but there are still things we need to fine-tune. I don’t want to say I’m pleased with where we’re at right now, but we’re definitely moving in the correct direction.â€? •The boys basketball team remained undefeated after beating DeSales 51-40 last Friday and Westerville Central 6250 last Saturday.

Hartley didn’t play its first game until Dec. 22 because of the football team’s postseason run.

Yet, the late start hasn’t slowed the Hawks, who enter Friday’s game at Watterson 8-0 overall and 3-0 in the CCL. “I’m happy from the retrospective that the guys have been in a whirlwind and we’ve been playing a lot recently,� coach Randy Kortokrax said. “It’s very

busy, so it’s nice to start to get on a regular rotation that’s more familiar. We figured the DeSales game would be a big one, and that it would give us a good indication of where we’re at.�

The win over DeSales broke the Stallions’ 50-game home winning streak.

Jacob Matuska led the way for the Hawks with 18 points. Kendall Sherrod had 14 points, followed by Joe Brown with eight points and Eric Siefert with seven.

The Hawks, who haven’t won a CCL title since 1994, outscored DeSales 189 in the fourth quarter.

Against Westerville Central, Sherrod scored 21 points and Matuska scored 17.

In a 63-55 win over Bloom-Carroll on Jan. 3, Hartley showed that it has a talented group of players and good team chemistry, as it totaled 18 assists and had four players score in double figures.

“That’s the kind of balance you want to see,â€? Kortokrax said. “Our goal is to get four guys in double figures every game. We share the ball well enough to do that.â€? •The girls basketball team rode a three-game losing streak into last Wednesday’s game against Wellington.

The Hawks play a CCL contest today at Ready and a league game Saturday at Columbus School for Girls. Following the game with CSG, the Hawks have six days off before playing host to Ready on Jan. 22. “Right now, we just need to finish our shots,� coach Mike Lanza said. “We’re running the offense really well but missing some shots. Once we starting knocking those shots down, we’ll be OK because we’re playing well defensively.�

With no go-to player for offense, Hartley has had to rely on balanced scoring.

Raiders expected to select White

Raiders inducting six into school’s athletics hall of fame The Reynoldsburg High School Athletic Hall of Fame will induct six members during a banquet at Jefferson Country Club on Jan. 27. The new members then will be introduced the following evening between the girls and boys varsity basketball games against Pickerington North. The former athletes being inducted are Jeff Cummings, Mike Davis (posthumously), Mike Grayem and Lisa Howard. The coaching inductee is Brian Stohm, and the Wall of Merit inductee is Gary West.

Banquet tickets are on sale until Jan. 24. They can be purchased by calling the RHS athletics office at 501-4033 or 502-4020, Ted Frissora at 367-1987, Nancy Tennant at 367-1980 or West at 833-1704.

Former Olympics coach offers lessons in shot put, discus Former U.S. Olympics coach Criss Somerlot will provide shot put and discus lessons at a “throws center” opening at 189F W. Olentangy St. in Powell.

The lessons are for athletes in high school and junior high. For more information, contact Somerlot at (614) 560-1251 or csomerlot@aol.com.

Somerlot, who lives in Powell, was a U.S. Olympic coach in 2004 and 2008. He also was a coach and teacher at Centerville High School near Dayton.

Capital to hold track clinic Capital University will play host to a track and field clinic focusing on sprints, hurdles, throws, pole vault, long jump and triple jump from 1 to 5 p.m. on Jan. 30. The clinic is for boys and girls in grades 912, as well as coaches.

Registration information is available online at www.capital.edu/30764.pdf. Contact Fred Barends at (614) 236-6919 or fbarends@capital.edu for further details. Registration ends Jan. 28.

WRESTLE Continued from page B1 team,” junior Greg Chang said.

“We’re going to be a stronger team once we have our full roster together.”

Despite the Raiders’ sluggish start, Ball is happy with the way Alexander Straughter (11-4 at 103), Chang (8-3 at 112), Syfers (11-6 at 145) and Hoover (5-4 at 171) have wrestled.

At the Kenston Invitational held Dec. 27-28, Chang went 41 and placed second at 112 and Straughter went 3-2 and placed fifth at 103.

“We’ve had some positive individual successes,” Ball said.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how far our more-experienced wrestlers can advance in the Marion Elgin Invitational (on Friday and Saturday), because we’re going to face good competition from Division I, II and III teams there.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The first domino to fall in the central Ohio high school football coaching scene this offseason occurred over the holiday break when Brookhaven High School hired former Bearcats and MarionFranklin assistant Trevor White to take over its program.

Then on Jan. 6, Reynoldsburg athletics coordinator Jack Purtell announced that his school would be recommending current Hartley assistant Buddy White as its new coach at its next school board meeting.

Several other area coaching vacancies should be filled over the next month.

Late last month, several sources told ThisWeekSPORTS.com that the Johnstown-Monroe Local School District wasn’t planning to renew the contract of nine-year coach Mike Carter at a future board meeting. No action had been taken as of last Tuesday.

Openings at Columbus East, Hilliard Bradley and Westland also have started to come into focus.

At Reynoldsburg, where its job had been vacant since shortly after the season, the school had about 30 applicants, including some former and present head coaches.

Buddy White is expected to succeed Steve Evans, who went 7-23 in three seasons with the Raiders after taking over a team that went 3-7 in 2007. Evans successfully turned around programs at Hamilton Township and Teays Valley but couldn’t repeat the task at

Reynoldsburg, where athletes have had to pay as much as $500 in payto-participate fees per sport.

As a result of the high pay-toparticipate fees, the Raiders have had several football players transfer to schools such as Pickerington Central and Pickerington North in recent years.

Reynoldsburg won three of its first five games last season, including a 17-14 win over Newark on Sept 24, but lost its final five to finish with a 3-7 record.

The Raiders’ last winning season came in 2005 when they went 6-4. Their only playoff berth came in 2001 under former coach Tony Pusateri.

Buddy White coached varsity wide receivers, was the head freshman coach and assisted with the junior varsity last season when Hartley won the Division IV state championship. He previously assisted at West Virginia State College (1980-82), Salem College (1982-86), Watkins Memorial (1990-95, 1997-2001), MarionFranklin (2001-04) and Reynoldsburg (2005-09).

“We have to find a person we think is going to fit with all of the cuts that are looming,” Purtell said a day before announcing Buddy White’s selection. “As tough as our league is, we just want to bring in a leader who will have a good relationship with the kids and parents and be a good role model.

When you have that, a lot of times success will follow. Being in the league we are in, we don’t want a rookie.”

According to Bradley athletics director Chip Ebert, his program received about 60 résumés since the position was vacated in midNovember.

After guiding St. Charles to a 20-20 mark in four seasons, Ted Wierzbicki coached Bradley to 28 and 3-7 records, respectively, during its first two seasons. The Jaguars beat Franklin Heights 4218 on Sept. 24 for their only OCCCapital win in their first two seasons.

“We’re hoping to do interviews in January, and hopefully we’ll give a recommendation to the (school) board in February,” Ebert said. “It might seem a little weird coming from an athletic director, but whoever we hire has got to be a good teacher, and of course we want the best coach out there. We want someone who’s going to motivate our kids and attract more players out for the team. I don’t really care what kind of offense or defense they like to run, but we just want them to be someone that people will follow.”

Westland athletics director Greg Burke received about 10 résumés for his school’s vacancy. Brian Smith resigned Nov. 1, three days after the Cougars’ season-ending 33-12 loss to Central Crossing.

In three seasons under Smith, Westland went just 2-28 overall and 0-19 in OCC play. The Cougars’ only wins during that time came in 2008 over Cleveland John Marshall (30-20) and last season over Toledo Scott (28-0).

because of the South-Western City Schools levy failure, Westland went 1-9 overall and 0-7 in the OCC-Central last season.

Smith, a 32-year-old former DeSales assistant, took over a Cougars program that had gone 7-4 and made its only postseason appearance in 2006 under former coach Jeff Jones. Quarterback Kasey Wendal, a 2007 graduate, was named the ThisWeek Super 25 captain that season.

“I’ve interviewed a couple of internal candidates and now we’re looking at outside résumés,” Burke said. “I’d like to have it wrapped up by mid-January. I think having a knowledge of Westland is obviously a very big benefit. We think we’ll be able to have a very suitable candidate for the job.”

Columbus East is starting interviews of its nine applicants and could have a new coach by the end of January, according to athletics director Corinne Moore.

Mike White resigned at season’s end after coaching the Tigers to a 35-95 record in 13 seasons. East’s only winning season during White’s tenure came in 1999 when it went 8-3 and made the Division II playoffs.

The Tigers posted 5-5 finishes in both 2006 and ’08 but went 46 in 2009 and just 1-9 last season.

East’s only win last fall came in White’s final game when the Tigers beat Linden-McKinley 18-14 on Oct. 29.

(NOTE: There will be no admittance without a registration for this event.)
