Requests for service

Pataskala eyes centralized web system

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Pataskala City Council explored an online service-request system during its May 9 work session.

Council considered whether to contract for $190 a month for a consolidated reporting system that would allow

residents to use cell phones or the Internet to report potholes, broken water lines and other maintenance needs to Pataskala.

City administrator Tim Boland said such a system would improve the city’s ability to study how effective it is in responding to requests and maintaining its capital infrastructure.

“It offers greater accountability and tracking of customer-service issues,” Boland said. “I’ll get calls, council will get calls, we work on those and distribute them. What this will hopefully give us is a more centralized system. And it is cost effective at $190 a month.”

Lily Liu of PublicStuff, a software company that focuses on municipal sys-

tems, said the system would reduce duplication in requests.

“If you have three or four households calling in the same pothole, instead having to deal with the same request called in to your staff, our system will consolidate the request into just one request, but your staff can still see that three households have submitted it,” Liu said.

City services director BJ King said there is a clear trend in the general population relying upon smart phones, Facebook and websites for communications with the city.

“What I’ve seen during the time I’ve been here is more and more visitors to See COUNCIL, page A2

Pataskala resident Zach Harris, 15, helped build four benches in Pataskala Municipal Park for his Eagle Scout project.

Eagle Scout the ‘catalyst’ for upgrades

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Boy Scouts of America marked 100 years in 2010, prompting many scouts to seek the Eagle Scout designation, the highest rank available.

Among them was Pataskala resident Zach Harris, a member of Troop 279, sponsored by United Methodist Church in Reynoldsburg.

“There were six of us, which was a record,” Harris said.

Scoutmaster Justin Sayre said most years, Troop 279 will have two or three of its 30 members earn their Eagle Scout ranks.

In addition to earning merit badges in topics such as citizenship, hiking, swimming and many others — Zach has earned 40 badges — scouts are required to perform a community service project.

Harris, who lives near Municipal Park in Pataskala, remembered going to the park as a child, and when he went through the park last year he was appalled at the conditions.

“There were picnic tables in the river,” Harris said, noting that a decrepit walking path that had been abandoned. “It was awful and I said I had to do something about it.”

Harris decided that benches near the play-

Tucker one of 4 finalists for top job in Worthington

See EAGLE SCOUT, page A2

Superintendent Thomas Tucker of the Licking Heights Local School District is a finalist for Worthington City Schools’ superintendent position.

As of ThisWeek’s press time Friday, Tucker said he had not decided if he would interview for the job.

“I will decide after this weekend, after I talk with family and friends, my mentors, as well as with my board,” he said.

“Licking County is one of the best counties in the state. I don’t know if it would be a good fit (elsewhere), but I am happy where I am.”

Pataskala counts on volunteers for maintenance The Pataskala Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met May 10 to discuss volunteer park maintenance agreements and the prospects for reopening the city swimming pool.

Board chair Jeni Ashbrook said there have been several inquiries about operating the pool from different private, nonprofit organizations and she was hopeful that the pool might be opened this summer.

“We’d love to open it this year but we’re still looking for an organiza-

ground areas would encourage people to come to the park and stay there longer.

“I came up with the idea to buy benches from a company and install them, but they were about $600 and that was just too much money,” Harris said. “I came up with the idea to build a flattop bench, so you could look both ways.”

To do the project, Harris had to obtain permission from the city of Pataskala, so he attended both a parks board meeting and also council meetings. Parks board chair Jeni Ashbrook said Harris’ project stimulated volunteer

Parks and pools

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The utility committee will meet Monday, May 16, before the regular Pataskala City Council meeting to examine proposed amendments to an allocation plan promulgated by the Ohio EPA that determines who is allowed to provide sewagetreatment services in the region.

City administrator Tim Boland said the issue is important because the ability to add new customers to a utility service area lowers costs by spreading fixed investment in plant and collection systems among additional users.

“The city did a comprehensive review of utility services in 2010,” Boland said. “We had a plan in 1999, and we updated that. We reviewed our capacity, our ability to serve (new customers).

“What we determined was we had the capability to serve areas outside our current service area. The study also said it was important for

tion to take on the project,” Ashbrook said. “We’ve had some interest, but nothing on paper yet. We know it’s going to take about $35,000 to open the pool and staff it.”

The pool is largely ready to open after several years of being closed.

“There are all sorts of things peo-

ple don’t think about,” Ashbrook said.

“You have to have health inspectors and someone who knows how to do the chemicals to keep the pool in balance. You have to have so many lifeguards and they can work only so many

Among the growth areas examined by the city are the state Route 310 corridors north and south of Broad Street and the area near Route 310 and state Route 161.

Under the federal Clean Water Act, state and federal environmental agencies adopt “208 plans,” a reference to the section of the law that defines the plan, which was originally adopted to organize federal grants given to municipalities to build sewage treatment plants.

Boland said the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission has requested that interested parties submit proposals to modify the 208 plan by the end of May.

TUCKER

“Based on our utility study, we went to the next step of looking at the existing service area and prepared a proposed amendment of the 208 plan for EPA to consider,” Boland said.

Boland declined to specify objections raised by competing service providers Licking County and the privately operated Southwest Licking Community Water and Sewer District but an email sent to council calling for a special utility committee meeting said both providers objected to Pataskala’s proposed expansion of its service area.

“The district and county voiced strong opinions and were not supportive of our efforts,” according to the email.

“We have not had any formal (written) response (from the county and the sewer district),” Boland said. “I do sense there are concerns and questions. Our response

has been we’ll have a utility committee meeting and encourage you to come to that.”

If the city does not expand now, Boland said, it could be excluded from growing later.

“The 208 plan proposed by the city is a reasonable extension of our utility plan,” Boland said. “You only have these opportunities (occasionally). The last one was 2006.

The city would be missing an opportunity if it did not respond.

“If you don’t submit the area you believe you can serve, EPA will determine whether a given entity should serve a given area.

That’s their call. We can only indicate what our due diligence says we have the capacity to serve. The next step is between the various entities that can serve the area. I expect a good deal of discussion about that.”

The utility committee meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. May 16.

work by several other organizations.

“Zach came to a parks board meeting with a plan, saying there is really no place for people to sit and watch their children on the playground,” Ashbrook said.

“The park when he came to us was not being used as much as it should have been but he was kind of a catalyst for everything that has been happening there.

“The (Columbus) Clippers came out and redid the ball diamonds and put up this big, beautiful fence. The park is being used a lot more and the benches have been a great asset because people can sit and watch their children play.”

Harris was responsible for organizing volunteers to do the work, raising money to pay for supplies and seeking donations of materials from the community. He collected about $450 in materials, with the largest donor being Carter Lumber, to build four benches.

Harris, 15, has been in the scouts since first grade, when he

job that has come up, folks have approached me.

This is the first job in three years that I may interview for.

“I’ve been fortunate these last several years, with outstanding students, staff members and administrators, where folks have asked me to interview. I have not gone out seeking a job.”

Worthington is seeking a successor to Melissa Conrath, who is retiring. According to board president Marc Schare, the other three finalists are Trent Bowers, assistant superintendent intern at Worthington City Schools; Michele Evans, superintendent, Canton City Schools; and Michael Trego, deputy superintendent, Dublin City Schools.

Continued from page A1

Worthington planned to conduct interviews for four finalists Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, May 17-19.

“If I decide to interview, I’ll interview Wednesday, May 18,” Tucker said. “On (May 19), the board is to render a decision as to who is the candidate they will ask to become superintendent.”

Tucker was not on the original list of 19 candidates for the position. He entered the field last week after being recruited by Worthington. The informal recruitment process, which generally involves no paper work, allows candidates to be considered without their names becoming public until the final round of interviews.

“I had not applied,” Tucker said. “They came — Candy Brooks and Mike Maurer contributed to me. I’ve always had folks approach me, any to this report.

joined Cub Scouts. Harris’ father, Scott, said being in Boy Scouts has been a consistent growing experience.

“As he has gotten older he has gotten more thoughtful, more organized, more patient,” Scott Harris said. “He has better understanding for what the younger scouts are going through and how to give them direction if they need it.”

Sayre said the point of the service project is to emphasize the value of community.

“He did a great job planning and executing the project,” Sayre said. “He obtained donations from community leaders, came up with the plans, recruited help and built the benches.

“It was a really good project and city council was pleased with the result.”

the website and we try to use it more and more,” King said. “I view websites as a 24-hour-a-day virtual city hall, where people can get whatever they want. It provides current events and we have our council meetings online.

“We’ve also launched a Facebook page and every week we have more followers to that page.

I see more and more people using electronic means to stay in touch with the city and the use of online service requests will probably increase.”

Having online systems also improves the city’s ability to evaluate data, King said.

“Currently we manually track service requests through Excel spreadsheets,” King said. “This

would eliminate some of those steps and it helps get rid of some phone calls. Internally it helps us, allowing us to print out different reports, and it maps requests, so if we have a number of different water leaks, we can print a map and see if there is a trend about where they are occurring.

“If our city administrator wanted to see how many potholes or water leaks have been reported, he can just log on and see it, rather than going to each department and asking information and them providing hard copies on paper. It makes us a lot more efficient.”

King said the system could probably be up and running within three or four weeks.

“I hope this will allow us to have a 24-houra-day service aspect,” King said.

Hi Kids! Here’s a picture of my friend Phoebe walking around with her son, Beco. She is one of the Asian elephants you can visit at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Learn at the Zoo

Phoebe has lived at the Columbus Zoo since 2002. She is 24 years old and has had three calves. Two of her sons, Bodhi and Beco, live here too. Just like our moms, Phoebe taught Beco and Bodhi how to swim, find food and stay out of harm’s way.

• Keeper for a Day: for ages 13-17 years May: • ZooTots: for ages 18-36 months • Twilight Tours • Family Class: Backyard Birding • ZooKids: for ages 3-5 years • Wild Encounters Tours: for ages • After School at the Zoo: 10 years & up for grades 3 – 7

When they were each about seven months old, she led them into the deep end of the pool where they learned to kick and splash to stay afloat. If they got tired and needed help, she would extend her leg so they could hold on and rest.

What a marvelous mom!

• Adam loves coming to the Zoo to see his favorite animal, Hanna, the reticulated python. Hanna lives in our Asia Quest region and can be found lounging in her pool on most days.

• Adam also enjoys coming to our Home School Adventure Series.

His favorite class topic this year was the rainforest, because Sid, our two-toed sloth, came to visit the class. He watched Sid closely while he hung on his branch eating peaches and eggs.

• When asked if he could go anywhere in the world to see an animal in the wild, Adam said Africa to see gorillas. Adam likes watching the gorillas that live at our Zoo play outside on warm days.

Ashbrook said it is common to see family memberships at pools costing $150 to $200 per season and she believes enough Pataskala families would use the pool to cover operating costs.

“To raise $30,000, that’s not very many family memberships,” Ashbrook said. “I really think our community can do that, especially if we have some corporate sponsors.”

Since Pataskala faced the fiscal crunch that led to adoption of the city income tax last year, the parks and recreation department has operated on substantially a volunteer-only basis, with no permanent staff.

The city maintains parks only to a minimum level to avoid nuisances and overgrown weeds. Most cleanup and park maintenance is done by volunteer organizations such as Licking Heights Youth Association or the Pataskala Recreation Association, private softball

and soccer programs that enter “recreational use agreements” with the city to maintain the parks in exchange for using them for programs.

Those parks that do not have use agreements are maintained by the Pataskala Lions Club, which pays for gas and provides labor.

“The Pataskala Lions Club has taken on the mowing of all parks that do not have agreements,” Ashbrook said. “At their cost, they do all mowing and pay for the gas.”

The city owns six parks, including under-20-acre parks Liberty, Freedom and Citizens parks, and three larger parks, including Karr, Municipal and Foundation parks.

At one time the city operated its own programs, which provided revenue for park maintenance.

“We carried on our own recreational program but about three years ago, there was just no money left,” Ashbrook said. “We were living on what we could bring in and when they stopped the recre-

Page A3

(SAT., JULY 16 - British Royal-TEA at 11am for $15.95 + tax) ational program, that was our income. The city has to maintain the parks to a certain level but it’s not to a level that is playable for kids.”

The board also no longer rents shelters.

“Unfortunately, there are still citizens who think the city has the money to go and maintain and clean up,” Ashbrook said. “We get quite a few emails about that and phone calls about that, and asking to rent shelters. We can’t rent shelters because we have no one to clean up the trash. We just have to rely on volunteers. There are only so many Lions members to mow and take care of trash and make sure the weeds are cut down. We just don’t have the manpower. There is no paid staff at the parks.”

Among projects that volunteers have either paid for or provided labor is the installation of bathrooms, with one donor providing sinks and toilets and another donor providing the labor to install them.

“We have been very lucky,” Ashbrook said.

Just thinking

There’s nothing new when it comes to Ohio weather reports So this is how it’s going to be.

Ohio is known for its mercurial weather, of course, to the point that even bringing it up seems stale, like re-telling that joke about the insomniac, but what we’ve seen here lately is freakish, even for Ohio.

Speaking of Ohio, how is it that Indiana doesn’t get teased on the playground about its weather? If Ohio is changeable, doesn’t it stand to reason that Indiana would be, too? Not to mention Kentucky and Pennsylvania and Michigan and so on. Weather doesn’t come to a screeching halt at the state line, like a cartoon roadrunner. If it did, I’d expect a package from the Acme Weather Co. to show up, at which point the Ohio weather would change into something more comfortable, something suitable for, say, Muncie, Ind. But it doesn’t, because the weather in Muncie is almost exactly like the weather in Cincinnati, for all the people who insist on saying, “If you don’t like the weather in Ohio, wait a minute.”

(I could hardly force myself to type that, I’m so tired of hearing it.) Frankly, I think people in Ohio and people in Indiana are all wearing pretty much the same clothes: rain ponchos, polypropylene triclimate thermal pants and something slimming in seersucker.

But that’s a cartoon for another day. Today we’re examining what appears to be a gauntlet flung down on the local weather map: Take this, Ohio.

“This,” of course, being unusually wet weather, unusually windy weather, unusually cold weather and even unusually frosty weather, followed by the day on which I speak, which offers unusually hot, muggy, humid weather.

And when I say hot, I mean hot.

Parking-lot asphalt had the shimmery look of mid-August as I

hiked across it to the grocery store entrance.

“It’s very warm,” I mentioned to the young woman who sold me MARGO my coffee, and BARTLETT she murmured in agreement, apparently reluctant to risk raising her body temperature by exerting herself to speak.

At home, I opened several windows before settling in to the business of sitting very still, a trick I learned in second grade. In fact, it may have been the only thing I learned in second grade: Take your seat and put your head down on your desk after running around on the playground after lunch.

My teacher had us do this every warm day, and each time she issued her instructions, I doubted they’d do any good. I was too flushed, too short of breath and too sticky to recover without going home to take a bath.

Ten minutes later — 10 quiet, motionless minutes later — the teacher would tell us to raise our heads, and darned if we all hadn’t regained, more or less, our resting heart rates and our usual complexions. The transformation caused me to look with real respect at my teacher, the unfortunately named Mrs. Piggot. How did she know that would work?

It seemed magical then and it still did the other day, when I used the same technique to cool off during a meeting: Sit very very still.

Don’t move even a tiny bit. And sure enough, after a few minutes — and perhaps a very brief nap — I was back to normal. The magical Mrs. Piggot! I bless you to this day.

But my point is this: Why the need for cooling-off magic when it’s only the middle of May? Why are citizens swooning in the streets from heat exhaustion when just last week they were huddled around electric heaters

Weren’t we chipping away at windshield ice in April?

Of course we were, and I’d be a fool not to brace myself for more of the same in the weeks to come. That is, I’m not swearing it will snow before June, but neither am I swearing it won’t.

You see how it is. Last week we had winds and rain and destructive floods, and now we have the sort of heat that causes babies to fret and brides to faint in a heap of collapsing tulle. And who knows what lies in store for Memorial Day high school band musicians? They’ll either suffer in the blinding sun or nearly catch their deaths of cold.

Or not. It may be a perfect Ohio day: mild, breezy and smelling of honeysuckle, even though as far as I know we don’t have honeysuckle around here.

And why do I say this? Because the weather has issued her pronouncement: This is how it’s going to be.

Awnings allow homeowners more time for outdoor entertaining If you enjoy spending time on your deck or patio but feel like the blazing sun limits the time you spend outside, it might be time to take back your outdoor entertaining area with a retractable awning.

The awnings can be operated manually or by a motor and can adjust to different angles.

“Many people typically use their backyard patios only during the early evening hours, when the sun is setting,” explained Matt Reeder of Weather Armor. “If you made a substantial investment in a deck or patio, it doesn’t make sense to be able to use it only a small percentage of the time.”

Rolltec awnings are available in a variety of designs and colors to match your home’s exterior.

You can accessorize your awning with a variety of options, including a remote control, sun and wind sensors, and a protective hood to keep the rolled awning shielded from the elements. A manual override is available in case of power outages.

Weather Armor offers Rolltec brand awnings, a customizable solution to getting more use out of your patio or deck area. An awning can improve both the appearance and functionality of your home, and Rolltec awnings are custom-made to fit your specifications. They project farther from the home than any other awning on the market, and there are no permanent posts to interfere with your living space.

Weather Armor currently is offering $300 off an installed Rolltec awning when you mention this article. Call (614) 795-4800 to schedule a free estimate and take advantage of this summer special.

Many awnings on the market are made of vinyl, which might end up rotting after being exposed to the elements. Weather Armor’s Rolltec awnings are made of acrylic, which is water-

In addition to awnings, the company offers a complete line of Gutterglove products. Visit www.rolltecawnings.com for more information on its awnings.

The Rolltec retractable awning extends farther from your home than other awnings on the market to allow for more space for entertaining in the shade.

Licking Heights Roundup

Velasquez has state track aspirations

By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Licking Heights High School girls track team faces a tough challenge in the Division II district meet this week.

All 26 schools are a single district for the second consecutive year. By comparison, the 28 boys teams are split equally into two districts. With 17 events overall, that’s a total of 68 regional berths at stake for the boys but only 34 for the girls.

“It’s a nightmare trying to get out,” coach Suzanne Ketcham said.

Still, Ketcham said she likes her team’s chances at being represented in the regional meet May 26 and May 28 at Welcome Stadium in Dayton. The top four finishers in each event at district qualify for regional. The district meet is being held Tuesday, May 17, Wednesday, May 18, and Saturday, May 21, at Hamilton Township.

Kayla Velasquez won her second consecutive MSL-Cardinal Division title in the discus with a throw of 117

feet, 10 inches during the field event finals May 10 at Berne Union. The junior’s personal best is 119-8, which she threw to win the event in the Licking County Honor Roll Meet on May 4 while breaking her own school record.

That ranked seventh in the latest district honor roll, which includes athletes from all three divisions.

“She’s tall and strong, and that helps,” Ketcham said. “She’s on a roll here this month. She hasn’t always been the most athletic, but she really likes the discus. It’s her passion.

“I’ve never coached a thrower who uses the entire ring the way she does, front to back. She works hard at it, too. She even practices every Sunday for two to four hours with one of her parents.”

Another highlight from the field event finals in the MSL-Cardinal meet was freshman Alexis Sanidad’s third-place finish in the long jump (personal-best 15-2). Ketcham said she’s already discussing the school record with Sanidad.

Cathleen Culwell set the record (17-4 1/4) in 1991.

“She’s extremely confident and a real competitor,” Ketcham said of Sanidad. “She’s been working on her speed on the runway. One thing about her is that her steps are always on. Now she’s just trying to get a little more upper-body action into it.”

On the track, the Hornets were shorthanded for the league meet as freshmen Skyler Ortiz (illness) and Cameron Bryant (stress fracture) did not compete in any preliminary individual events See HORNETS, page B2

Watkins Memorial Roundup

Baseball team advances with pitching, timely hits

By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Watkins Memorial High School baseball team’s pitching staff has gotten stingy at the right time.

A 4-0 victory over visiting St. Charles in a Division I second-round district tournament game on May 11 was just one of the recent examples. Starter Eric Robinson and D. J. Collins combined to pitch a six-hitter as the Warriors improved to 17-6 overall and advanced to play fifth-seeded Gahanna in a district semifinal on Tuesday, May 17, at Hamilton Township.

“Our pitching has been awesome,” said junior first baseman Reno Reda, who had a two-run double during a three-run rally in the fifth inning that increased the Warriors’ lead to 4-0. “That’s taking a lot of pressure off us at the plate.”

Seeded 10th, the Warriors enter their district semifinal having given up just six runs over their past six games, although coach Don Schone was trying to schedule a game May 13 or May 14. Starter Robbie Sexton and Robinson combined to pitch a one-hitter during a 2-1 victory over Teays Valley in the postseason opener on May 9, combining for 12 strikeouts with only two walks.

Through 23 games, Sexton had a 3-1 record and Robinson was 3-2.

The six-game stretch also included a split in a pair of 2-1 games with Hilliard Bradley during an OCCCapital Division series May 6-7, a 17-2 league victory over Franklin Heights on May 2 and a 10-0 win over Beechcroft on May 5.

“Our guys have pitched well, no question,” Schone said. “That’s what we’ll need (this) week.”

Gahanna was 21-6 after rallying

to defeat Central Crossing 7-6 in a second-round tournament game on May 11. The Lions scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to erase a 6-3 deficit. Jarrod Moss and Joey Tomko are among the team’s offensive catalysts, as both batted above .400 during the regular season. Moss recently became the leadoff hitter, and senior infielder Shane DeFranco has been a run producer batting third.

DeFranco said the emphasis recently has been to avoid swinging at bad pitches, especially with a favorable count.

“We still have some games where we don’t hit the ball as much as we think we should, but then our pitching and defense keep us in games,” he said. “It’s just been everyone doing their jobs. Our mentality is See WARRIORS, page B2

The Warriors’ Shanna Cashdollar delivers a pitch against Westland on May 10.

It came as no surprise to Newark Catholic High School softball coach Scott Harris that Millersport opted to enter the same half of the Division IV district tournament bracket as his top-seeded team.

The third-seeded Lakers eliminated the Green Wave in two of the past three postseasons, after all. They prevailed 8-1 in a district semifinal a year ago and won 5-2 in a second-round game in 2008. They’ll meet again in a district semifinal Tuesday, May 17, at Pickerington Central.

“We went on the top line (of the bracket) so we could be the home team playing all the way through the district,” Harris said.

“Millersport came after us and so did (Morral) Ridgedale.

“I think (Millersport coach) Thomas (Laird) feels his girls have a mental advantage after beating us twice in the tournament here recently. They’d already seen (second-seeded) Fisher Catholic twice (in MSLCardinal Division play), too, and probably felt their chances were better playing us (instead of entering the other half of the bracket with Fisher Catholic and fourth-seeded Madison Christian).”

The Green Wave defeated Marion Catholic 10-0 in five innings in the postseason opener on May 10 and beat Ridgedale 13-0 in five innings in a second-round game May 12 to improve to 16-8.

Against Ridgedale, Abbey Fetter pitched a no-hitter and McKenzie Clark and Caroline Wollenburg had two hits and two RBI each. Fetter, who had not benefitted from such run production very often during the regular season, notched her sixth win. Against Marion Catholic, Maggie Yocum pitched a one-hitter to post her eighth win and Clark had three hits, including a triple, with an RBI. Fetter and Devani Adam had two RBI each.

The Green Wave has won six of seven games since losing 31 to Bexley on April 25 and 93 to Licking Valley the following day. That was Bexley’s first See NOTES, page B2

Ortiz is the team’s top hurdler and was runner-up in the county meet in the 100-meter hurdles (17. 31 seconds), and Bryant has been the team’s top sprinter. Ketcham is hoping both will be ready for the district meet.

Ketcham added that senior Jahni’ Flood, capitalizing on her first season having competed indoors, also could challenge for regional berths in the sprints.

She was the county runner-up in the 200 (28.06).

Meanwhile, Velasquez has recovered after injuring her back while competing on the final day of a training camp at Ashland University in February. She missed the remainder of the indoor season but now is hoping to extend her season into next month, when the state meet will be held June 3-4 at Ohio State.

A regional qualifier in the discus last spring after placing third (113-4) at district, Velasquez struggled at regional, as she finished 13th (92-7) behind the champion, Urbana’s Emily Adair (120-5). The fourth and final state-qualifying distance was 112-5.

“She should have qualified; she just threw badly,” Ketcham said. “If she would have thrown what she did at district, she would have made it.

“She kind of got shook up.

She even threw one into the cage, and I’ve never seen her do that.

It was stormy that night, and I think that had something to do

Ketcham said Velasquez, who placed third (32-2) in the shot put in the MSL-Cardinal meet as West Jefferson’s Emilie Elfrink won (35-9), should be better prepared for this postseason.

“She’s been studying, scouting other throwers and things,” Ketcham said. “She wants to take it all the way (to the state meet).”

Newark Catholic also reached a regional final in 2008-09.

Watkins Memorial, Lakewood and Granville also will have new coaches next season.

MSL-Ohio win in six years.

Soon afterward, Yocum was inserted into the lead-off spot in the batting order. She replaced Jayla Graves, who has become a top run producer since moving down in the lineup. Clark, who opened the season with a nine-game hitting streak, is back on another offensive tear after struggling at the plate in mid-season.

“Our motto is ‘fat and flat,’” Harris said. “We use the fat of the bat to hit a flat line drive.”

Millersport edged Fredericktown 6-5 in a second-round tournament game on May 12, improving to 14-10. The other semifinal features Fisher Catholic, which is 16-7, and Danville, which is 8-16 after upsetting Madison Christian 18-4 in the first round and Grove City Christian 10-4 in the second round.

The semifinal winners advance to the district final Thursday, May 19, at Pickerington Central.

“We have five seniors this year, and Fetter is the key,” Harris said. “I like our chances going into (this) week.”

ed Westerville North 9-2 on May 6 to clinch the OCCCardinal Division title a year after finishing last. The league title is the first for the Braves since 2007. "It's great because not a lot of guys get the experience of winning a league championship," junior Woody Wallace said.

A Delayed Victory: Upper Arlington’s Olivia Menden won the 1,600 meters on May 6.

Runners were 350 meters into the race when it was delayed more than 90 minutes because of lightning. “When they stopped us, I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’”

Continued from page B1 always to try and get a pitch and drive it.”

The other district semifinal features second-seeded Dublin Coffman and Dublin Jerome.

The semifinal winners advance to play in a district final May 19 at Jerome. Jerome upset sixth-seeded Hilliard Davidson 2-0 on May 11, improving to 13-14 as Neil Johnson pitched a four-hitter and Aaron Huesman hit a two-run home run.

Coffman, the OCC-Centralchampion, improved to 20-5 by defeating Westland 13-0 in a second-round game on May 11.

Coffman’s pitching also has been a key to its success.

Through 23 games, Zak Hood was 6-0 and Adam Hall and James Walsh both were 6-1.

Still, coach Tim Saunders said his team was able to overcome a slow start in part of because of its ability to hit in the clutch.

“Our pitching and defense have been consistent, and our pitching has kept us in games,” he said. “But the difference between how we played when we were 1-3 to how we’re playing now is we’re getting timely hitting and driving in runs with two outs.

“In the tournament, you can’t leave eight, 10 or 12 guys stranded on base. You have to be aggressive and drive those guys in.”

Timely hits also have powered the Warriors, who have trailed in nine of their victories and won seven games in their final at-bat.

Joe Matalon’s single drove in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh against Teays Valley, and Sexton had an RBI double in the second for a 1-0 lead.

Financial finesse

Preparing your teen for college Have a college-bound teen?

It’s never too early to start prepping for financial and personal safety on campus.

Having a child that is getting ready to graduate and head off to college can be an exciting time. It is also a great time to take the opportunity to teach teens how to keep their guards up and to protect themselves before they have to learn the hard way. So here are a few tips to consider discussing with your teen before he or she heads off to college: Give kids a chance to manage money. A great way to build your children’s financial foundation is to open a checking and savings account in their names. Ensure that they understand how to balance their checkbooks and make timely entries as money comes and goes.

With a savings account, they’ll be able to see the value as the account grows and will feel empowered by contributing to the account.

Add a bit of reality to financial conversations.

If your teen is anxious to rent his first apartment and live off campus, show him your monthly bills. This should help him gain a better understanding of how much things really cost and how much he will need to budget to cover his bills before he gets in over his head.

Is a free T-shirt worth access to a Social Security number? The likely answer is, probably

not, but our teens might not see it that way. This is a time when teens need to learn about how to care for their “identity” and how quickly thieves can steal their identity.

This is an opportune time ERIC to give your children a basic understanding about the acCLARKE cess their Social Security numbers provide to their identity and how long it can take to repair their credit if it gets into the wrong hands.

Not sure where to start?

Some of this information might be provided during your teen’s college orientation, but if you’d like to give your teen an advantage, you might consider consulting your financial institution for tips on talking to teens or seek seminars offered on such topics as campus safety, protecting your identity and the do’s and don’ts of having that first credit card.
