Uptown changes mark ‘transitional period’By JENNIFER NESBITTThisWeek Community Newspapers

A walk or drive through Uptownthese days reveals many empty store-fronts, once filled by small busi-nesses.

There’s one at the corner of Col-lege Avenue and State Street, wherethe Blue Turtle tea and spice shopsat until recently. A space on NorthState Street long housed DJ’s FeedStore, and across the street is one ofthe most recent closings — the chil-dren’s boutique Hey Diddle Diddle,which was located in Uptown for 12years.

“Now we have quite a few emptyspaces (in Uptown), and it makesyou go ‘hmmmm,’” said ReneeKropat, owner of Uptown’s Gallery202.

The good news, said Kriss Rogers,owner of Outside Envy and presi-

dent of the Westerville Uptown Mer-chants Association, is that almost allthe vacant spaces have projectsplanned for them.

“There are things going on behindthe scenes in all those locations,”Rogers said. “I’ve been here fiveyears, and every once in a while, wego through those periods where somestores will move out and some newones will move in.”

The owners of Jimmy V’s and theWesterville Grill are planning to opena deli in the former feed store loca-tion. A new business plans to moveinto the former Blue Turtle space,and investors are looking to rehab avacant building just north of Graeter’sat the northwest corner of CollegeAvenue and State Street.

Kropat herself has filled two va-cant slots, creating The Art Loft, anart space for adults at 11 1/2 N. StateSt., and studio and gallery space in

the former That’s So Sweet candyshop at 13 E. College Ave.

The move from a central locationto two separate location marks anexpansion for Gallery 202, with adultclasses being offered at the Art Loftand “Creative Minds” classes andclasses for people with disabilitiesoffered at the East College location.

“We expanded because a numberof people wanted to use the space,and the classes were competing witheach other” in the former location at38 N. State St., Kropat said.

Despite the recent turnover in Up-town, city officials remain confidentthat the business district is strong,Westerville economic developmentadministrator Jason Bechtold said.

“From the city’s perspective, theUptown area continues to show re-siliency in this economy,” he said.

Westerville,Blendon discuss dealon economicdevelopment By JENNIFER NESBITTThisWeek Community Newspapers

As governments trend toward consolidatingservices, Westerville and Blendon Township arelooking to create a joint economic developmentzone.

Under the proposed partnership, Westerville’s2-percent income tax would be applied to com-mercial and industrial portions of Blendon Town-ship. Part of the money would be dedicated to cap-ital improvements in the zone, and the townshipand the city would split the rest.

Westerville also would provide economic-de-velopment services to the township.

Members of Westerville City Council andBlendon Township trustees met to discuss such adeal March 13.

“We felt it was a natural extension of the co-operation we already have had and the shared serv-ices. It’s a natural for us to look to Westerville andsay this is one way to raise some funds,” BlendonTownship trustee Stew Flaherty said. “Our con-cern is focusing on Route 3, the redevelopmentthere. We felt that’s a boon to our township. Wealso felt it’s a help to Westerville if we don’t havethat dividing line.”

There around 4,000 employees in the commer-cial and industrial portions of Blendon Township,and a 2-percent income tax in the zone could raisebetween $1.3 million and $2 million annually,Westerville economic development administratorJason Bechtold said.

The tax would not affect any Blendon Town-ship residents.

The joint economic development zone wouldprovide additional revenue for the city with min-imal costs. It would also provide financial stabil-ity for the township and dedicate money to im-

Heritage Middle School teacher’s aide Karen Causey laughs as teacher Andy Habing gives eighth-grader Anthony Stewart a hug as theirclass surprises Stewart with a new bike March 20. The school has been working with Christopher’s Promise to get Stewart a bike that hecan ride despite having weakened legs from diplegic cerebral palsy. Stewart’s class goes on bike rides and now he can join them. For aslide show, visit ThisWeekNEWS.com.

Teacher surprises student with his first bikeBy JENNIFER NESBITTThisWeek Community Newspapers

Heritage Middle School eighth-grader Anthony Stewart received aspecial gift March 20: his first bike.

The 14-year-old, who has cerebralpalsy, joined teacher Andy Habing’sclass in February. The small class hastherapeutic activity each afternoonand students would ride bicycles whenthey could, three to four times a week.

But because of weakness in hislegs, Stewart couldn’t join his class-mates, Habing said.

The first time the class took a trip,Stewart had to be driven, and that

struck a chord with Habing.“He has braces on both legs. He’s

never been on a bike, ridden a bikein his entire life,” Habing said. “Itwas kind of the first time I realizedhow different he had to feel. … He’sbeen on the sidelines all three times(the class has ridden bicycles sinceFebruary). He doesn’t say anythingabout it, but I started wondering ifwe could find a recumbent bike forhim.”

Habing worked with one of theschool district’s physical therapiststo find out what type of bike Stew-art would need and then he beganasking around at local bicycle shops

to see if the school would be able toborrow one for the rest of the schoolyear.

At roll:, Habing had better luckthan he expected.

He was put in touch with a formeremployee, Lauren Lichtenauer, whohad started a charity called Christo-pher’s Promise that works with Ath-letes Helping Athletes to secure bi-cycles for children with disabilities.

“It was kind of blind luck that Iran into her, talked to her for awhile,”Habing said.

Lichtenauer began Christopher’sPromise last year after helping to se-cure a bike through Athletes Help-

ing Athletes, the charitable arm ofRoad Runner Sports, for a boy sheworked with while volunteering at acamp for children with disabilities.

Lichtenauer figured she could helppeople navigate the Athletes Help-ing Athletes grant process and alsohelp find the right bicycles throughher experience with cycling. Sheworks through word-of-mouth re-ferrals.

Anthony’s bike, fittingly black andyellow for the Pittsburgh Steelers fan,is the 12th bike Lichtenauer hashelped find. It would have cost $2,250

Public meeting set on Big Walnut watershed planBy JENNIFER NESBITTThisWeek Community Newspapers

Thirty-one communities thatline Big Walnut Creek haveteamed with the Mid-Ohio Re-gional Planning Commission(MORPC) to create a plan for fu-ture development in and conser-vation of the creek’s watershed.

A draft of the Big Walnut Wa-tershed Balanced Growth Plan

will be on display in a publicmeeting from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30p.m. March 26 at the WestervilleCommunity Center, 350 N. Cleve-land Ave.

The plan is one of five balancedgrowth plans being developed byMORPC for central Ohio’s wa-tersheds. Others are being draft-ed for the Olentangy, WalnutCreek, Upper Scioto and Whet-stone watersheds.

Once adopted, the communi-ties that approve the balanced-growth plan will be eligible forspecial incentives from the state,including extra points on grantapplications and low-interestloans, according to a MORPCpress release.

Currently, there are 28 stateprograms that include special con-sideration for communities withbalanced-growth plans, the press

release said.The Big Walnut Watershed Bal-

anced Growth Plan is meant toaddress the environmental impactof development in the watershed.

The plan covers a 370-square-mile area from the start of the wa-tershed in Morrow County southto where the creek merges withthe Upper Scioto River just southof the Franklin-Pickaway coun-ty border.

Representatives of municipaland county governments, areachambers of commerce, local con-servation organizations, soil andwater conservation districts, theEnvironmental Protection Agencyand Metro Parks were involvedin the planning process.

MORPC anticipates high pop-ulation growth in the watershed,especially in northern FranklinCounty, southern and central

Delaware County and LickingCounty, the plan says. Accordingto MORPC, regional approach tothat growth is needed because de-velopment decisions made in onecommunity affect the entire wa-tershed.

The plan identifies priorityareas for development, conser-vation and agriculture. It aims to

City confident that district strong, resilient

proving the area, Bechtold said.The joint economic develop-

ment zone would be overseen bythree representatives of the town-ship and three representatives ofthe city, Bechtold said.

City council and the trusteeswould have to pass legislationallowing for the joint economicdevelopment zone, but the deci-sion to create the zone ultimate-ly would lie with Blendon Town-ship voters, Westerville city man-ager Dave Collinsworth said.

Council is expected to hearlegislation on the zone at its May1 meeting, Collinsworth said, andthe goal is to have the issue onthe ballot in Blendon Township

in November.There are still issues to be ad-

dressed in creating a joint eco-nomic development zone, suchas who should be allowed on theboard, the length of the agree-ment to create the zone andwhether the agreement shouldinclude an anti-poaching clause,but Blendon Township and West-erville officials voiced supportfor the zone’s creation.

“This is where the (state) ad-ministration wants everyone togo,” Westerville City Councilchairman Mike Heyeck said. “Ireally think the model we havewith Blendon Township withshared services is being propa-gated elsewhere, and this is justanother step.”

protect environmental resources,preserve the unique characteris-tics of each area and promote sus-tainable development.

It includes an “implementa-tion toolbox,” which lists sug-gestions on comprehensive plan-ning, such as by implementingstormwater management regu-lations, encouraging low-impactdevelopment, establishing nat-ural areas, putting stream andwetland setbacks in place, pro-tecting woodlands and treecanopies, redeveloping brown-fields, constructing completestreets, preserving farmland andcreating water-quality conser-vation plans.

The draft plan, which alreadyis available online at balanced-growthplanning.morpc.org, willbe on display for public commentthrough the middle of April,MORPC associate planner ErinGrushon said.

MORPC then will put togeth-er a final plan in May for thegroups involved in the plan tolook through and begin to ap-prove, Grushon said.

MORPC ultimately will seeklocal adoption of the plan andstate endorsement.

The plan recommends thatcommunities involved look to cre-ate local comprehensive planswith updates every five years and

that communities incorporate theplan’s priority areas into localplanning.

POSSIBLE CURE FOR HAIR LOSS?What does hair loss have to do with hearing? The inner ear is populated with tiny sensory receptors that project

from the surface like little hairs. These “hair cells” are responsible for converting sound information into electricalsignals that are sent to the brain via nerve fibers. Unfortunately, these vital hearing components are often permanentlydamaged due to aging and prolonged exposure to loud noise. As a result, hearing becomes permanently damagedbecause hair cells do not regenerate. The good news is that scientists have recently found the single gene related tohair-cell growth. This discovery holds the future promise of growing new hair cells in humans, which many considerto be the holy grail of hearing loss.

Almost everybody knows someone who has been affected by some degree of hearing loss. While hearingimpairment can be the result of heredity, it also is a natural and graduated result of the aging process. If you or afamily member are not hearing as well as you could, please call us at 614-654-4309 to schedule a complimentaryhearing & speech evaluation.

The city is continuing its commitment to Uptown throughprograms such as the Uptown Façade Improvement Program,which will launch later this spring. It provides grants to Uptownbusiness and property owners looking to invest in the historicUptown buildings.

The city also soon will start an Uptown planning process toaddress any problems in Uptown, such as parking, that maycause concern for the area.

“It’s a comprehensive look at the Uptown. It’s bringing all thevarious stakeholders to the table — merchants, property own-ers, various other key stakeholders that are affected by the Up-town,” Bechtold said. “If it’s vacancy or parking or encourag-ing reinvestment in these historic buildings, what are the keyconcerns as we move forward so that Uptown can continue itsvibrancy now and in the future?”

Stores in Uptown continue to be supported by a communitythat’s interested in shopping locally and supporting small busi-nesses, Rogers said.

“That kind of support from the community makes Westervillesuch a great place to do business,” she said.

The businesses that have closed did so for a variety of rea-sons, she added.

“The stores that are set up to really do business are doing re-ally well right now,” Rogers said. “This is just a transitional pe-riod for Uptown. It’s not just people with a good business plan;some people have left for personal reasons. There are lots of rea-sons people move in and out.”

Rogers said she searched central Ohio for the perfect place toopen her business five years ago and found Uptown Westervilleto be ideal because of the traffic and the support for the businessdistrict.

“I still feel the way I did five years ago when I thought, ‘I haveto find a place in Uptown to open my business,’” Rodgers said.“I just thought, ‘This is the place,’ and I still feel that way.”

groups to provide helmets, cloth-ing and shoes for the childrenhelped by Christopher’s Promise.

“They’re just awesome kids,and every kid we’ve given a biketo has had the same reaction wherethey’re just thrilled,” she said.

Stewart at first was speechlesswhen surprised with his recum-bent bicycle, which was waitingatop classroom tables when he re-turned with his classmates fromlunch.

After taking a turn around theparking lot, his reaction was mod-est.

“I like it,” Stewart told Habing.His mother, Garnetta Livisay,

was less reserved.“I’m emotional because this is

so exciting. I never thought thiswould happen,” Livisay said.“Now I’m going to go and get abike for myself so we can ride to-gether.”

Livisay, who was all smiles andsaid she had to hold back tears,said the work Habing and Licht-enauer did to get Stewart a bikewas amazing.

“That is a God thing. This isnothing but God. This just does-n’t happen,” Livisay said. “It’s justamazing.”

Habing also was excited to fi-nally see Stewart try out his newbike. He said he hopes the bikegoes a long way in helping Stew-art feel like he fits in with his class-mates.

“It was very cool. It’s just a veryempowering thing for him,”Habing said. “It’s great how it allworked out.”

Columbus, all in all, is a prettyhealthy city, at least compared tomuch of the rest of the world.

In parts of Asia,Africa and LatinAmerica, epidemic disease amongpeople with limited resources isstill a major concern. In the de-veloped West, and especially inNorth America, we pride ourselveson our resistance to disease. In re-cent years, the West has not seenmany severe outbreaks of bacter-ial communicable disease.

Such has not always been thecase.

Many people moving to theOhio Country in the years afterthe American Revolution foundaspects of their new home that re-quired a healthy respect. One mightbe attacked by a wolf or even abear. But that wasn’t really so like-ly, as most and wolves and bearsmoved on as soon as they saw thenew people coming. Native Amer-icans were a bit more stubbornand from time to time fought ratherhard to retain the land they hadcalled home. But again, by the1790s, when people began to moveto Ohio in earnest, most of themajor Indian Wars were over.

The threat of Indian attackwould linger until 1816. For mostOhioans, it was just that — a lin-gering threat — and not much else.

The biggest killer in the earlydays of Ohio was disease. Earlysettlers suffered from a variety ofcommunicable diseases. Today itis hard to determine for certainwhat some of these diseases ac-tually were since they were de-scribed variously as “the Ague,”“the Cold Ague” and the “Shak-ing Ague,” to name just a few.Today, the prevailing opinion isthat most of these diseases weremalarial fevers brought on by peo-ple living close to annual rottingmasses of plant material left byfrequently flooding rivers. As theriver bottoms were cleaned up by

more rigorousagriculture, thethreat of “RiverFevers” de-clined ratherrapidly.

By the early1830s, the bor-ough ofColumbus wason the verge of

sustained growth. Founded in 1812to be the new capital city of Ohio,Columbus had grown very slow-ly because it was not easily linkedby water or trail to the rest of thestate. This changed with the ar-rival of the National Road and theopening of the Columbus FeederCanal in the early 1830s.

Hundreds of new people beganto arrive in Columbus. Many ofthe newcomers were immigrantsfrom Germany and Ireland andwere people who would soon be-come the majority of the popula-tion. Between 1832 and 1834, thepopulation of Columbus increasedfrom about 2,500 to 5,000.

And this was in spite of the factthat in that period, Columbus facedthe worst assault by disease it hadever seen.

Cholera has been a fact of lifein Asia in general and India in par-ticular for several thousand years.It has only been in the past fewhundred years that advances inwater and land transport have per-mitted the bacterial infection toreach much of the rest of the world.

There have been several world-wide pandemics of the disease thattakes its name from the Greekword for “bile” in the past 200years. The first modern pandem-ic in the 1810s did not reach theAmericas. The second pandemicbroke out in India in the late 1820sand reached the United States by1832. There were reports of cholerain towns along the Ohio River in1832 but the disease did not reachthe interior of Ohio that year.

Many people in central Ohiofelt that perhaps they had been

‘School board did nothing, except spend’To the editor:

I was very disappointed to read about the in-crease in the pay-to-play fees for Westerville schools.

By voting “yes” for the levy, voters were led tobelieve that sports would be restored. It seems par-ents should have been given complete details bythe school board, so they could have make an in-formed decision on how to vote. But once again,the school board was deceptive and secretive, andafter they received the votes from the parents andgrandparents, they sucker-punched those same par-ents and grandparents with an excessive pay-to-play fee.

It is time for all of us to get involved, and speakout to the school board. Don't sit back and wait forour taxes to go up again, because they will, at thepace the school board spends money. Attend yourschool board meetings and get involved.

There would be money for sports, band, musicand the other arts, without raising taxes, if the schoolboard would stop its excessive spending of moneywe do not have, and adjust for the economy. Salaryincreases should have been suspended when westarted the recession in 2009, but true to their trackrecord, the school board granted increases. Whenrevenues went down, the school board did nothing,except spend. Most of the people I know didn’t re-ceive any salary increases in 2009 and 2010, get-ting a modest increase averaging 2.5 percent in2011. Our school employees received 4-, 7- and10-percent raises. How does that make sense andseem fair to all of us who were and still are mak-ing sacrifices?

Most people agree that a good school system isvital for good home values. That is true; however,that equation includes real estate taxes. Once po-tential home buyers see that Westerville has thehighest property tax in Delaware and Franklin coun-ties, guess whose house they will pass up? Thenwhat do we do? Lower our price, and lose moremoney. And now to top it off, our school is nowrated a “B.”

As the school board blunders and fumbles to-ward the next levy in 2014, we all need to expressour concerns, as in the next few months they willnegotiate union contracts. We cannot wait; we muststate our expectations and demand we be heard. Itis important that the union health insurance con-tract be modified to match what most of us have;the taxpayers can no longer pay 80 to 90 percentof the insurance premium, 50 percent of the uniondeductible, and contribute $1,200 per year to theunion health savings account. In addition, the buy-out of unused benefit time needs to stop. The pol-icy should be “use it or lose it” and the amount ofbenefit time should be capped at the state mandat-ed minimum (given the union track record in West-erville, they will use all of the benefit).

Start a neighborhood discussion group, and acton your ideas, and contact LevyFacts.com to learnexactly how horribly the Westerville school districtis mismanaged. Please do something. They are tak-ing away hope from many families. It needs to stop.

spared and that the disease wouldmove on without affecting them.They were soon to learn that suchwas not to be the case. The dis-ease was only dormant over thewinter and returned with avengeance in the summer of 1833.

In his history of Columbus,Al-fred Lee described the arrival ofcholera for the first time in the city:“The first case is said to be that ofNegro woman living in a cabin onthe east side of Front Street about80 feet south of Broad. Next awhite woman was seized in a stonehouse which stood on the north-west corner of Town and Fourthstreets. These cases occurred aboutthe middle of July.”

Cholera is a fearsome diseasein which a bacterial infection ofthe intestines induces both per-sistent vomiting and diarrhea. Peo-ple literally die of dehydration inshort order if the lost liquids can-not be replaced. Ironically, a com-mon remedy of the period was tobleed people and thereby reducethe fluid levels of their bodies evenfurther. Not knowing what actu-ally caused the disease, peoplelooked for causes in the environ-

ment and accidentally did someright things that needed to be done.

“The streets abounded in chuck-holes, ponds of stagnant waterstood on the commons, primitiveswamps remained yet undrained,ashes, shavings and trash of allkinds were tossed promiscuouslyinto the first alley or other con-venient space, pigs and other foulcreatures were permitted to roamat will, and the carcasses of deadanimals were left to rot in the sun,”according to Lee.

The city appointed a Board ofHealth that began looking for aplace for a hospital, if it might beneeded. It soon would be. A streetcommittee of the Board of Healthbegan to drain the ponds, fill holesfilled with water and clean “vileculverts” of the town. All of theseactions were helpful but they weretoo little and too late. Cholera ar-rived in Columbus with a ven-geance in late July 1833.

On July 20, Henry Stagg ate hisusual hearty Sunday breakfast andshortly after became ill. He diedsix hours later. On the followingMonday, a Mrs. McHenry becameill in the morning and died the fol-lowing day. As Alfred Lee reported,“‘There is no cause for alarm,’

soothingly remarked the State Jour-nal, but many people took thealarm nevertheless and fled toDelaware, Mount Vernon and otherneighboring towns, where sever-al of the fugitives were very soonafterward attacked, some of themfatally.”

From July 20, 1833, until theend of September, Columbus re-ported at least one death daily fromcholera. By the time the epidem-ic had passed through town in Sep-tember, 100 people had died.

Cholera stayed in the Ohio Val-ley for the next several years butColumbus was not affected. Somepeople came to believe that thedisease was gone. They werewrong. Cholera would return sev-eral more times until interceptingsewers and clean water suppliesremoved the threat of the diseasein central Ohio.

In much of the rest of the world,cholera is still a threat. In the wakeof a 2011 earthquake, Haiti hasseen more than 470,000 cases ofcholera in the worst outbreak inrecent history. The plagues of thepast are not all that far away.

Pre-election reports

Our Community, Our Schoolsoutspends LevyFactsBy JENNIFER NESBITTThisWeek Community Newspapers

Two weeks before the March 6 primary, pro-levy Our Community, Our Schools reportedspending $25,635 of a more than $48,000 cam-paign fund.

By contrast, anti-levy Taxpayers for Wester-ville Schools, bankrolled by LevyFacts, had spent$3,014 of a $6,141 fund.

Those numbers come from pre-primary cam-paign-finance reports filed with the FranklinCounty Board of Elections. Post-election reportsare due to be filed by April 13.

Our Community, Our Schools and Taxpayersfor Westerville Schools were the two main groupswho filed reports on Issue 10, the WestervilleCity Schools’ March 6 levy bid.

Issue 10, a 6.71-mill, five-year emergency levypassed by a vote of 51-49 percent.

According to the Our Community, Our Schoolsreport, the campaign carried over $10,731 fromthe fall levy campaign. An additional $37,504was raised specifically for the March election.

Many of the campaign contributions camefrom individuals who donated $100 or less, butthere were some larger donors as well.

Nancy McFarland was the largest campaign

donor, giving a total of $11,000. The Westerville Education Association, the

union representing Westerville’s teachers, do-nated $10,000. The insurance brokerage firmArthur J. Gallagher and Co. donated $2,000.

OAPSE Turnaround Ohio donated $1,000. Su-perintendent Dan Good, Westerville Board ofEducation President Kevin Hoffman and resi-dent Kelly Pollard each donated $500 to the cam-paign.

Many of the schools’PTAs also donated to thecampaign, in amounts ranging from $25 to $500.

Prior to the Feb. 21 filing deadline, Our Com-munity, Our Schools spent $8,000 on levy con-sultant Fallon Research and Communications,$4,830 on postage, $3,000 for call services, $525for postcard printing, $317 for an email cam-paign, $735 for printing packets and $400 for aninformation subscription to Support Ohio Schools.

All of the contributions to LevyFacts camefrom individuals, most in amounts of $200 orless.

The largest contribution, of $500, came fromresident Carol Hribar.

Prior to the Feb. 21 deadline, the campaignspent $2,023 on yard signs, $840 on mailing ma-terials, $51 on printing services, $39 on businessservices and $36 on PayPal.

With rising gas prices and de-creases in home values andOhio’s median incomes, the fed-eral government must be focusedon reinvigorating the economy,U.S. Sen. Rob Portman (R-Cincinnati) told a group of West-erville business leaders earlierthis week.

“It’s all about the economyand jobs,” Portman said.

Portman spoke March 19 to agroup of Westerville businessleaders during a Westerville AreaChamber of Commerce CEOroundtable.

Westerville has been relative-ly lucky through the economiccrisis, Portman said, with busi-nesses continuing to locate andexpand within the city's limits.

“Not every place in Ohio hasthe economic developmentyou’ve had,” Portman said,adding that the government mustdo more to grow the economy.

Stimulus spending and grow-ing government spending willnot bring about a full economicrecovery, Portman told the groupof about 30 people.

“If we could spend our wayout of this, we would have doneit. If it was just about spending,we’d be in good shape with thespending we’ve done,” Portmansaid. “We ought to be gettingspending under control and mak-ing the government leaner andleaner.”

The economy has seen a re-cent uptick, Portman said, buttoo many in Washington believethe recession was a normal eco-nomic cycle when it really wasthe result of systemic problems.

To ensure that it continues toimprove and become more sta-ble, the government should focuson getting the economy movingby reducing regulations, re-forming taxes and finding alter-native sources of fuel, Portmansaid.

Increased regulations onbanks, Portman said, will onlyreduce critical lending to peopleand small businesses.

“I’ve stood up for banks”against overregulation, Portmansaid. “The question is: Shouldwe have a healthy bank systemthat gives people liquidity andlend money?”

In the energy sector, failed

cap-and-trade legislation has ledto regulators being given moreauthority to police energy com-panies, he said. The result is thatenergy plants, including threeAEP plants, plan to close at theend of this year, Portman said.That would lead to an increasein electricity costs.

The control over those regu-lations needs to be returned toCongress, he said.

Congress also needs to addressthe “inefficient” tax code, Port-

man said.Currently, the corporate tax

rate is 35 percent, but most cor-porations pay an average of 28percent because of loopholes andtax credits, Portman said.

The government should in-stead lower the tax rate, whichhe said soon will be the highestin the world, by about 10 per-cent while closing the loopholesthat allow corporations to payless.

High gas prices are something

else that must be addressed tosave the economy, Portman said.

Too often, he said, Wall Streetspeculators get blamed for spikesin prices at the gas pumps, butin reality, it’s simple supply anddemand that’s driving up costs.

U.S. regulations have addedto the problem by decreasing theamount of oil production closeto home, and unrest in the Mid-dle East and northern Africa alsohas driven up prices, he said.

The United States must look

for ways to become less de-pendent on foreign oil, such asby lifting moratoriums on drillingin the gulf and off the cost inAlaska and by encouraging gaspipelines, Portman said.

“We are not doing what weneed to be doing right here,” Port-man said. “If we had done it afew years ago, we would be on-line right now.”

Oakstone scalesback expansion plans

Oakstone Academy will return to the Westerville PlanningCommission at its March 28 meeting to present scaled-downplans for a gymnasium.

In September, the planning commission approved the addi-tion of a 15,000-square-foot gymnasium at the school, 939 S.State St.

But the school now will present plans for a smaller expan-sion that will be attached to the main school building, saidWesterville senior planner Bassem Bitar.

“It was going to be a separate building,” Bitar said. “They’vedecided to scale it back a little, by about 500 square feet.”

The expansion was planned to be a metal-framed buildingwith a concrete base, constructed to match the existing build-ing. The original expansion plans received unanimous approvalfrom the planning commission.

The planning commission meeting will start at 6:30 p.m.March 28 in city council chambers, 21 S. State St.

The Oakstone expansion is the only item on the March agen-da, Bitar said.

Commission dismisseselections complaint

The Ohio Elections Commission dismissed acomplaint filed against the pro-levy group OurCommunity, Our Schools last week.

Gabriele Dorr Plutchak filed a complaintagainst the commission March 19, claiming thatOur Community, Our Schools used the name ofher business without her consent in Feb. 29 news-paper ad.

The ad listed the names of hundreds of West-erville businesses, thanking them for their sup-port of the “I (heart) Westerville Schools” cam-paign.

The commission’s probable cause panel de-termined there was no probable cause of an elec-tions violation and dismissed the case March15, said an elections commission representative.

Our Community, Our Schools co-chairmanRick Bannister said businesses listed were thosewho had agreed to post “I (heart) WestervilleSchools” placards in their windows. Due to vol-unteers’ errors, some names of businesses thatdid not accept the placards were listed in the ad,Bannister said.

“It was a simple human error and (Our Com-munity, Our Schools) regrets listing those busi-nesses who did not offer their support of the ‘I(heart) Westerville Schools’ business walk inour thank-you ad,” Bannister said. “We offer oursincere apology to anyone who was mistaken-ly thanked in our ad who chose not to take aplacard.”

By now, Justin Kuhel’s legsare undoubtedly aching and hisfeet probably have blisters.

He hurts from having walkeda long way, and he has many,many miles still ahead of him.

But the 22-year-old Colum-bus man knows his pain is noth-ing, the journey before him abrief one, compared to the suf-fering and the distance that loomsahead for some of the men andwomen the ex-Marine servedwith in Iraq and especiallyAfghanistan.

Kuhel, the son of ClintonvilleArea Commission District 2 rep-resentative Nancy Kuhel, set outMarch 16 to walk the 396 milesto Arlington National Cemetery.It’s a fundraising effort on be-half of the nonprofit WoundedWarrior Project.

In the weeks leading up to hisdeparture, Justin Kuhel met withbusiness officials and attendedmeetings of civic groups, in-cluding the CAC on March 1 andNorthland Community Councilon March 6 to drum up aware-ness of his undertaking.

“I actually really, really hatebeing in front of large groups ofpeople,” Kuhel admitted in aninterview last week as his de-parture date approached.

But again, he said, if the menand women with whom heserved can endure being shot andblown up by improvised explo-sive devices, as happened on thevery eve of his unit leaving Iraqduring his first overseas posting,then taking the hit of publicspeaking is the least he can do.

Kuhel, with his mom follow-ing him in a car, hopes to arriveat Arlington National Cemeteryin Virginia and visit the gravesof some buddies, on April 1.

“Maybe sooner, maybe a lit-tle later,” he said.

In any event, he must be back

in Columbus by April 5 to startparamedic school at Grant Med-ical Center.

“So it was now or never forme,” Kuhel told Clintonville AreaCommission members duringhis brief remarks before them.

“I’ve definitely never walkedthat far, so we’ll see how it goes,”he told NCC members at theirmonthly meeting.

Kuhel, a 2006 graduate ofWhetstone High School, initial-ly wanted to be a Navy SEALbut let a buddy talk him into join-

ing the Marines. He said he want-ed to get involved with theWounded Warrior Project afterwatching a 2011 documentary,“Hell and Back Again.”

Created by embedded film-maker Danfund Dennis, it high-lights Marines wounded in com-bat and their struggles to returnto normal life.

Kuhel at first hesitated to seethe documentary, but then de-cided to do so because he would

Former Marine supporting Wounded Warrior Project

Nonprofit helping in rehabilitation effortsThe Wounded Warrior Project for which

Columbus resident Justin Kuhel is raisingmoney on a nearly 400-mile walk to Ar-lington National Cemetery, was establishedin 2003 in Roanoke, Va.

According to a fact sheet on the websiteof the organization, it relocated its head-quarters to Jacksonville, Fla., in 2006.

“What started as a program to providecomfort items to wounded service membershas grown into a complete rehabilitative ef-fort to assist warriors as they recover andtransition back to civilian life,” the websitesays.

The purpose of the project is:• To raise awareness and enlist the pub-

lic’s aid for the needs of injured service mem-

bers.• To help injured service members aid and

assist each other.• To provide unique, direct programs and

services to meet the needs of injured serv-ice members.

The organization’s efforts are focused onmilitary personnel who incurred service-re-lated injuries on or after Sept. 11, 2001.

The programs the Wounded Warrior Pro-ject offers are needed, the site continues, be-cause of the large number of military mem-bers returning from combat with injuries.

“With advancements in battlefield medi-cine and body armor, an unprecedented per-centage of service members are survivingsevere wounds or injuries,” according to the

website information. “For every U.S. sol-dier killed in World Wars I and II, there were1.7 soldiers wounded. In Operation IraqiFreedom and Operation Enduring Freedom,for every U.S. soldier killed, seven are wound-ed.

“Combined, there have been almost 42,000injured in the two conflicts, nearly 32,000injured in Operation Iraqi Freedom and near-ly 10,000 in Operation Enduring Freedom.... Offering a variety of programs and serv-ices, WWP is equipped to serve warriorswith every type of injury, from the physicalto the invisible wounds of war.”

know some of the people in it,including central figure Sgt.Nathan Harris, who was in thesame infantry unit as Kuhel, the2nd Battalion 8th Marines SniperPlatoon.

It was watching the terriblepain etched in the sergeant’s faceas he was filmed undergoing re-habilitation that struck Kuhel soprofoundly.

“It really kind of woke me up,”

he said at the NCC meeting.Kuhel, who has a medal of

valor for his actions in combat,said he probably never evenspoke with Harris, but he wasmoved to do something for thesergeant and others like him, andafter deciding to take a fundrais-ing walk, settled on the Wound-ed Warrior Project as the bene-ficiary.

“It’s a really, really good or-ganization that I really, reallybelieve in,” he said.

“I just decided I’d walk,”Kuhel said of his endeavor. “Youdon’t need a lot of training; youjust hope you’ve got the will.”

Kuhel consulted with peoplewho have run marathons, in-cluding his sister, about what toexpect on his nearly 400-miletrek.

“They’ve pretty much said nomatter you do, it’s going to hurt.”

Kuhel plans to start a Twitteraccount and update the Facebookpage he created, www.face-

book.com/marchtoarlington, ona daily basis to keep people in-formed of his progress and en-courage donations through it di-rectly to the Wounded WarriorProject.

“We support him complete-ly,” Nancy Kuhel said. “He’s agreat man, always thinking ofhow he can help others. It’s neverabout him.”

“I feel like they deserve noless from me,” Justin Kuhel saidof his former comrades in arms.

’Hawks out to ‘make their mark’By FRANK DiRENNAThisWeek Community Newspapers

Having returned several players, theWesterville Central High School baseballteam is looking to build on last season.

The Warhawks finished 24-8 overall ayear ago and reached a Division I re-gional final before losing to Grove City10-3.

Seeded fourth in the district, Centraldefeated Delaware 7-3 in the secondround after having a first-round bye andbeat seventh-seeded Pickerington Cen-tral 4-2 in nine innings in a district semi-final. It then captured the program’s firstdistrict title by defeating Reynoldsburg12-7 in a district final.

The Warhawks defeated Gahanna —

the fifth seed in the district — 7-4 in aregional semifinal before losing to GroveCity, the district’s ninth seed.

Central went 10-4 in the OCC-Cardinal Division to place second, be-hind Olentangy (12-2) and ahead ofMarysville (7-6), Dublin Scioto (7-7),Dublin Jerome (6-8), Westerville North(5-8), Olentangy Liberty (5-9) and West-erville South (3-11).

“Every year you want to obviouslyadvance as far as you can in the tour-nament, and last year we got hot at theright time and had a magical season,”fifth-year coach Jeff Kiefer said. “It wasgreat, but this is a new year. We haven’treally talked much about last year. We’renot ignoring or bypassing it, but thesekids are real focused. They want to make

their mark and put their stamp on theprogram.”

The Warhawks open by playing sevengames in Myrtle Beach, S.C., beginningMonday, March 26.

Among the key returnees for Centralis senior Connor Sitz (INF/P), an OhioUniversity recruit. Last season, he went7-2 on the mound with a 1.88 ERA, 76strikeouts and 22 walks in 63 1/3 inningsand was named second-team all-leagueand all-district.

“I think we surprised a lot of peoplelast season with the success we had,”Sitz said. “We hope and plan on con-tinuing the success this season. (The)Warhawk family is anxious to get backto work. We had a fairytale season lastyear thanks to a fantastic group of sen-

iors and their leadership. We have atremendous amount of support fromnot only the school, but from the en-tire community. We’re looking forwardto opening day in Myrtle Beach, andhopefully we can create some mo-mentum and carry it all the way throughthe year.”

Another key returnee is senior DylanWest (INF), who hit .383 last year andwas honorable mention all-district.

Other returnees are seniors Greg Behan(OF), Cameron Box (INF/P), MatthewBracale (INF/OF/P), Connor Bush(OF/P), Daniel Grainger (INF), MattKnapp (C) and Corey VanDevelde (OF)and John Whitaker (P) and junior Sawyer

“I look forward to every year whetherwe win or lose,” said coach Joe Fran-cisco, who is in his 21st season. “I’venever in all the years I’ve coached hadnine seniors, but I have them this year.It’s a close team. It’s been fun. I can’tbelieve that we’ve gone through fouryears with them already.”

The Warriors finished 17-9 overallafter losing to top-seeded Central Cross-ing 10-0 in five innings in a Division Idistrict semifinal. North defeated Brig-gs 11-0 in six innings in its district open-er and beat Lancaster 3-2 in the secondround.

Girls Basketball

PetersonnamedSuper 12captainBy JARROD ULREYThisWeek Community Newspapers

Northland High School girlsbasketball player Alexis Petersonisn’t afraid to take on a challenge.

After her team lost toReynoldsburg 47-37 in a Divi-sion I regional final March 10

at OtterbeinUniversity, thejunior pointguard wasasked bycoach DeanWashingtonwhat shecould do foran encore.

Considering what she’sachieved over the past fewmonths, that could be easierasked than accomplished.

At 5-foot-6 and a three-yearstarter, Peterson helped theVikings win their first City Leaguetitle since 1998, capture their sec-ond consecutive district title andfinish with a 24-2 record.

She was named the district’sPlayer of the Year, made first-team all-state and has been namedThisWeek’s Super 12 captain.

“I feel like I’ve developed intoa good player, although there aresome things I can work on,” Pe-terson said. “I’m not satisfied. Ifeel like this year I got my team-mates more involved, but it’s al-ways good to be challenged.There’s always next season andthe AAU season coming up.”

Peterson averaged 18.6 points,4.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 4.1steals this season. She has aver-aged 16.2 points for her careerwhile scoring 1,092 points.

With senior Symone Denhamout for the postseason with aknee injury, Peterson scored 27points to lead the Vikings pastOlentangy Orange 51-50 in adistrict final March 3. Petersonhad 20 points in Northland’s 53-38 victory over Gahanna in a re-gional semifinal March 6.

Peterson plays for the sameAAU team as fellow first-teamall-state selection Malina Howardof Twinsburg and Reynolds-burg’s Alyssa Rice, who madesecond-team all-state.

The competition Petersonfaces against her teammates inAAU practice is among the fac-tors that she believes has helpedher improve.

“I saw some of the workouts(her AAU team) does, and youcouldn’t help but get better inthat environment,” Washingtonsaid. “She’s a great point (guard)and a great shooter.”

•OTHER FIRST-TEAM-ERS — Taylor Agler (OlentangyOrange, Jr., guard), KiyannaBlack (Africentric, Sr., guard),Jaila Bryant (Pickerington North,Sr., guard), Symone Denham(Northland, Sr., guard), JasmineJohnson (Brookhaven, Sr.,guard), Taylor Jones (Picker-ington North, Sr., forward),Quiera Lampkins (Gahanna, Jr.,guard), Alyssa Rice (Reynolds-burg, So., post player), HannahScipio (New Albany, Jr., guard)and Aliyah Zantt (Reynoldsburg,

DeSales Roundup

Boys lacrosse team not lacking confidenceBy DAVE PURPURAThisWeek Community Newspapers

The DeSales High School boyslacrosse team advanced to a Division IIregional semifinal two years ago and aregional final last year, so logic says ifthat trend continues, the Stallions willplay in their first state tournament thisyear.

Eighth-year coach Matt Triplet hopesthat will be the case, but even with allthe talent his team returns, he’s keepingexpectations small and manageable.

“That’s definitely somewhere we wantto be, but the big thing this year will bemanaging our expectations,” Triplet said.“We have a lot of returning players, butwe need to be cognizant of not wantingto get ahead of ourselves. One goodthing is our guys have a lot of confi-dence and that will filter down to ouryounger guys.”

DeSales went 16-2 last year, losing14-7 to eventual state champion DublinJerome in a Division II regional final.The Celtics also defeated the Stallions15-2 in a regional semifinal in 2010.

Returning to lead the Stallions aresenior midfielder Anthony Ciammaichel-la, a four-year starter and MarquetteUniversity signee; senior attacker JackSlomsky, a three-year starter who willplay at the University of Detroit Mercy;senior goalkeeper Tyler McClary, whowill play at Division III Widener Uni-versity; senior midfielder PatrickMcGuire, a three-year starter; seniormidfielder Tim Doone; and junior at-tacker J.T. Blubaugh, who has verballycommitted to Ohio State.

Blubaugh had a team-high 89 points(77 goals, 12 assists) last year.

Other senior starters include mid-fielders Marcus Dietz, Evan Hoffmanand Jonathan Morris and defenders JimJudson and Matt Young. Also expectedto make an impact are senior defendersConnor Hines, Alex Rittenhouse andMax Yinger, senior midfielder Ross Wan-ner, junior midfielder Roman Zingarel-li and sophomore midfielder TuckerYinger.

The Stallions, who play an inde-pendent schedule, open March 30 athome against Middletown Fenwick. Sev-eral Division I schools dot DeSales’schedule, including Gahanna, New Al-bany, Olentangy, Westerville South andWorthington Kilbourne.

“We’ve been wanting to start a CCL

The girls lacrosse team returns threestarters in senior midfielder/attacker JessJohnson, senior goalkeeper Tia Tylerand senior defender Margaret Kistner.

DeSales, which opens Tuesday, March27, at home against Delaware, went 5-11 overall and 1-6 in the Central Inde-pendent League last year.

“That’s a big plus having them back.All (six) seniors have great leadership

(skills),” said Joe Finotti, who is in hisfirst year as coach after assisting Mal-lory Mayhew the past two seasons.

“This is a great senior class and I’mpretty excited about the chance to watchthem develop this year and work withthe younger players as the season goeson. We have 12 new players that havenever played the game before, mostlyfreshmen and sophomores with a cou-ple juniors. That leadership is reallygoing to come into play as we developthose younger players.”

Last season, Johnson was the teamMVP and Kistner was the defensiveMVP for the Stallions. Both are four-year letterwinners.

The rest of the senior class consistsof defender Samantha Chapman, at-tacker Renee Landis and midfielderRachel Zolnier, all of whom are likelyto start.

Of the Stallions’ nine juniors — at-tackers Sarah Hughes, Mallory Janszen,Katie Moody, Savanna Osborn, PaigePleisch and Kelly Richards, backupgoalie Meredith Lloyd, midfielder Aman-da Marchi and defender Kierra Graham— between four and six might start orbe major contributors, Finotti said.

The sophomore class consists of mid-fielders Maria Burkey, Liza Hornyaks,Anna Kobermann, Claire Novak andMaggie Simon, midfielder/attacker ToniHalter, midfielder/defender Alison Car-gin, attackers Allison Iwaszkiewicz,Brianne Lehman, Savanna Perkins andErica Ritzler and defender KaitlynDoran.

The Stallions finished seventh in theCIL last year, behind Division II statechampion Columbus Academy (7-0),Hartley (5-2), Wellington (5-2), Colum-

bus School for Girls (4-2), Watterson(3-3) and Bexley (2-5) and ahead ofGranville (0-7).

Academy is the two-time defendingleague champion.

SUPER 12Continued from page B1

Adam Cairns/ThisWeek

Alexis Peterson averaged 18.6 points in leadingNorthland to its first City League championshipsince 1998.

Allen (C/INF/P).“We have 11 seniors,” Keifer

said. “A few of them have quitea bit of varsity experience.Some waited their turn last yearand played behind some real-ly good players. They’rechamping at the bit; they’re ex-cited to get their shot. It’s a re-ally close group. What theylack for some experience, theymake up in cohesiveness, workethic and attitude.”

Also on the team are juniorsTyler Bertelsen (INF/P), NickConkins (INF/P), Ethan Dolby(INF/P), Anthony Kinkel(INF/P), Bobby Spiers (OF) andJoe Swisher (INF/P).

The Warhawks lost sevenplayers from a year ago to grad-uation, including catcher KylePollock, who had a team-high.505 batting average and team-best 51 RBI. He shared leaguePlayer of the Year honors withOlentangy catcher Woody Wal-lace and was named first-teamall-district.

Also gone are DannyLawrence, who batted .378 andhad 33 RBI and was first-teamall-league and all-district, JakeSimmerman, who had a team-high nine home runs and 36 RBIand was second-team all-dis-trict, and Jerry McCartney, whohit .398 and was second-teamall-league.

South coach ‘enthusiastic’about returning nucleusSouth returns just four letter-

winners, but ninth-year coach TimBates likes his team’s nucleus.

“I’m very enthusiastic aboutthis year,” he said. “We do havea young crew. We have threeseniors and we’ll fill in the restof the spots with juniors andsophomores. We have four re-turning starters from last yearand then we’re going to try andfind 10 new varsity players.”

Last season, the Wildcats fin-ished 6-15 overall after losingto Dresden Tri-Valley 9-8 in 10innings in the first round of thedistrict tournament.

South, which opens with adoubleheader against Reynolds-burg on Saturday, March 24, athome, returns seniors ForrestDill (OF) and Jayson Perkins(OF/P), junior Jake Robinson(INF/P) and sophomore TimBates (INF), the coach’s son.

Coach Bates expects Robin-son to be one of the team’s toppitchers.

Dill, Perkins and Trenton An-tonaros (OF) are the team’s onlyseniors.

“We graduated (eight) sen-iors last year, so this year wehave a whole new group of kidswith different attitudes and adifferent work ethic,” Perkinssaid. “With the young playersthat we have, it’s completelydifferent.”

Also on the team are juniorsAlex Baumann (OF), Kyle Cur-tis (OF), Connor Horan (1B),Jeremy Wei (INF/P) and TaylorZachary (C/P), sophomores Dal-ton Akers (C/1B), Tom Ingle-due (OF), Jack Michael(C/OF/P), Patrick Orr (INF/P),Josh Tischler (INF) and MikeThesing (INF/P) and freshmanVincent Murdock (C/P).

“We’re going to be young, butall of the players love baseball,”coach Bates said. “They’reskilled players. The only down-fall is they haven’t had any OCCaction yet.”

Miller’s return has North feeling optimisticNorth opens with four games

in Vero Beach, Fla., beginningMonday, March 26.

Among the key players forthe Warriors is senior JacobMiller, who is expected to bethe team’s top pitcher after going3-2 last season with a 2.63 ERA,40 strikeouts and 22 walks in48 innings.

Also a utility player, Miller hit.314 with 18 RBI last season.

“Our No. 1 pitcher, JacobMiller, is probably one of theelite arms in central Ohio andthen we have a fairly even staff,”said third-year coach Sean Ring,whose team finished 9-13 over-all last season, losing to St.Charles 3-2 in the first roundof the district tournament.“What we’re hoping to get onthe mound is pretty good con-tributions from everybody.We’re going to need all of ourarms this year.”

Also back is senior Alex Mor-row (C/utility player), who hit.321 last season.

“We’re definitely looking for-ward to this season,” Morrow

said. “We have a big senior class,and I believe this is going to bethe team that if we have a chanceof doing anything it’s going tobe now.”

Other returnees are seniorsSean Archibald (P/C), Jeff Beek-man (P/OF), Casey Davis (OF),Adam Lim (2B), Travis Mollo-han (P/1B), Brady Reynolds(OF), Trent Strong (C/INF) andWill Sulcebarger (INF/P) andjuniors Michael Cooper (1B/3B),Dan Funk (P/utility player) andKevin Hackett (OF).

Also looking to contribute aresophomores Ryan Curtis(C/P/utility player) and Josh Ko-vacs (P/1B).

“We’ve been very pleased,”Ring said. “This is probably themost work we’ve gotten in andprobably the best we’ve lookedgoing into a season since I’vegotten here. We’re really look-ing forward to this year.”

North lost only two startersfrom a year ago to graduationin Garrett Lieb and ColinWilliams, who is playing at theUniversity of Dayton.

a nationwide campaign is underway to build awareness and askpeople to stop using the word “re-tard” or “retarded” in ways thatcan be hurtful to those with in-tellectual or developmental dis-abilities, along with their fami-lies and friends.

A special “Spread the Word toEnd the Word” luncheon was heldMarch 7. Students had the op-portunity to buy T-shirts and signa banner that was displayed inthe atrium.

Students were asked to visitwww.r-word.org to make an on-line pledge not to use the “r-word”and to confront people who do.

The effort at North was spear-headed by multiple handicappedstudents in the classrooms of AmyBrill and Patrick Quinn.

Central student is scholarship finalist

Daniel Fay, a student at West-erville Central High School, hasbeen named a member of the2012 class of Coca-Cola Schol-ars.

He is one of 252 high school

seniors chosen to receive a schol-arship from the Coca-Cola Schol-ars Foundation. Finalists were se-lected from more than 84,000 ap-plicants and 2,200 semifinalists.

Fay will travel to Atlanta inApril to compete for 52 four-yearcollege scholarships of $20,000,and 200 four-year scholarshipsof $10,000.

During the four-day weekend,finalists will interview with a na-tional selection committee, tourlocal landmarks, meet other schol-ars and complete a communityservice project.

South orchestras earn high honors

Both of the Westerville SouthHigh School orchestras, underthe direction of Mark Stevens,earned the highest score of “su-perior” at the Ohio Music Edu-cation Association’s state or-chestra adjudicated event.

The event was held March 3at Reynoldsburg High School.

This marks the 12th “superi-or” rating in 10 years for studentmusicians.
