Police: Woman Charged With OVI Had Unsecured Baby In Car
WESTERVILLE, Ohio – A woman was arrested and charged with OVI Sunday morning and police say that she had three children in the car with her.

Police found three children in the car: a boy, a girl, and a 4-month-old boy. The 4-month-old boy was strapped into a car seat, but the car seat was not secured to the vehicle, police said. He was transported to Nationwide Children’s Hospital. The other children are at the Westerville Police Department awaiting Children’s Services. The driver was arrested by Westerville police and charged with OVI. She is currently held at the Franklin County Jail.

School board members voted Monday on cuts to school programs even if voters approve a levy in March. When Westerville City School students returned from winter break, more than 50 people had already lost their jobs, 10TV’s Jason Frazer reported. The district warned people to be prepared for more changes if the March levy fails. In an effort to close a $23 million budget gap, the Westerville City School Board voted unanimously to cut the marching band and after school athletics programs, Frazer reported. The board also voted to cut non-titled reading intervention teachers and two magnet schools. Many of the cuts would not take effect until next school year, Frazer reported. “My fear is if we don’t pass this levy and they have to make all of these drastic cuts, what’s going to happen to the Westerville community?” parent Kristin Maynard said. If the levy passes, board members said that activities like marching band, after school athletics and non-title reading intervention teachers could be restored. Voters will head to the poles on March 6 to vote on the levy. The district said that even if the levy is passed, layoffs to cafeteria and recess helpers will become permanent.

Saturday January 28, 2012 5:50 AM Jalynn Graham’s driving layup with eight seconds remaining in the second overtime gave Central Crossing a 49-47 victory over host Hilliard Davidson last night in an Ohio Capital Conference Central Division game. Olivia Davis scored 20 of her 24 points after halftime for Central Crossing (14-2, 9-2). Katie Dymek twice forced an extra period for Davidson (9-8, 6-5). Her three-pointer with 15 seconds left in regulation led to overtime, and her steal and ensuing three-point play in the closing seconds of the first overtime period tied it at 42. Northland 75, Centennial 41 Alexis Peterson had 23 points and seven assists for Northland (16-1, 12-0), which increased its City League North Division lead to two games with two to play with a home win over Centennial (13-4, 10-2). Olentangy Orange 46, New Albany 39 Keristynn Myers scored 14 points to lead host Olentangy Orange (16-1, 11-0) to an OCC Capital win over New Albany (12-5, 9-2). Myers had eight points in the third quarter as the Pioneers outscored the Eagles 14-6. South 58, Briggs 40 A 7-0 run in the fourth quarter helped South (7-9, 6-6) pull away from visiting Briggs (5-12, 4-8) in the City League South. Keyvona Waddell had 28 points for the Bulldogs and added 13 rebounds and five assists. East 37, Whetstone 33 Laquisha Hinton had 14 points, Janekqua Thornton added 12 and East (6-10, 4-8) defeated host Whetstone (5-12, 3-9) in the City League North.

By Joseph White Associated Press Saturday January 28, 2012 7:36 AM VANCOUVER, British Columbia — In the end, what matters is that the U.S. women’s soccer team is going to the Olympics. What the players won’t soon forget is how hard they had to work to get there. The Americans booked their way to London last night with a 3-0 victory over Costa Rica in the semifinals of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament. Tobin Heath scored in the 16th minute to give the United States all the scoring it needed, and goals by Carli Lloyd (72nd minute) and Alex Morgan (89th) put the game away. Had the Americans lost, they would not have played in London. But the top-ranked Americans were less crisp than when they were in defeating teams by a combined 31-0 earlier in the tournament. Costa Rica is ranked 41st in the world, has never qualified for an Olympics or a World Cup and has never scored on the United States in eight meetings. It proved to be a scrappy opponent, however, occasionally frustrating the Americans with physical play. In the end, defenders Kelley O’H ara, Rachel Buehler, Christie Rampone and Amy LePeilbet combined with goalkeeper Hope Solo to keep Costa Rica out of the net. Solo played despite a slightly pulled right quadriceps that had been bothering her all week. The United States will be the two-time defending champion in London, having taken gold in Athens in 2004 and in Beijing in 2008. It will be the third straight Olympics in which the Americans will be trying to make amends for World Cup disappointment from the previous year. They finished second at last year’s World Cup in Germany, losing to Japan in the final. The victory also puts the Americans into the tournament final on Sunday, a [...]
Read More >>Unilever, Ryan renew
In a pair of transactions exceeding 100,000 square feet of space, Unilever and Ryan Partnership renewed leases in Trumbull and Wilton respectively. Unilever has had a longtime presence in Trumbull, where it focuses on developing personal care products like Pond’s, Dove, Q-Tips, and Vaseline among myriad offerings from the London-based giant. It is one of a half-dozen major research and development centers for Unilever and its only major RD site in the United States; in 2008, the company consolidated operations in Trumbull that previously were in Edgewater, N.J. and Rolling Meadows, Ill., while relocating its U.S. food product headquarters from Greenwich to Englewood Cliffs, N.J. Unilever’s Trumbull complex today totals more than 500,000 square feet of space and at last report had more than 1,000 workers. The company took out a new lease on a building at 55 Merritt Blvd., with Cushman Wakefield brokering the transaction. Ryan Partnership, a marketing agency whose clients include Unilever, renewed a lease at 50 Danbury Road in Wilton. The company also has offices in Chicago and Westerville, Ohio. For the first time in three years, Fairfield County companies showed signs of expanding in the fourth quarter, according to an analysis of fourth-quarter commercial real estate trends by Cushman Wakefield. The company went out on a limb to add that the potential for a double-dip recession appears to have passed. “We’re still only in the preliminary stages of a full market recovery,” said Jim Fagan, senior managing director in Cushman Wakefield’s Stamford office. “Compared with 2009, the market is much healthier, but 2011 has certainly been a year of extreme fluctuations with vacancy levels and unemployment remaining stubbornly high. We’re confident that we’re well on our way to a full comeback, but there’s still a long road to travel.” In addition to Unilever and Ryan, [...]
Read More >>Suburbs’ rec centers making it
By Dean Narciso The Columbus Dispatch Saturday January 28, 2012 6:08 AM View Slideshow Shari Lewis | DISPATCH Swimmers hang on for a quick rest before pushing off during a swimming lesson on Thursday at the Worthington Community Center. From left are Lauren Fedorko, 5; Anna Tinnerello, 5; and Joey Paschal-Igel, 6. The city recovers 78.3 percent of the cost of running the center. In the mid-1990s, the economy was surging, the suburbs were expanding and cities were looking to accommodate their fitness-crazed residents. Today, 10 years after most of the area’s modern recreation centers opened, cities report that they’re thriving. And Whitehall, planning to build a $10 million recreation center — a project made possible only by the passage of an income-tax increase two years ago — is looking to its suburban counterparts for reassurance. Similar centers in Dublin, Groveport, Westerville and Worthington appear to be more successful than the national average. As aging outdoor swimming pools became expensive to maintain, flashy modern recreation centers were sprouting up, said Bill Beckner, research manager for the Virginia-based National Recreation and Parks Association. “And with year-round usage, there was a model out there that said that you could at least recover part of your expenses.” Few centers break even. In fact, the national average for cost recovery is about 65 percent, said Beckner. Membership fees alone aren’t enough to pay the bills. Westerville recoups less than a third of its $2.8 million operating costs from memberships. Dublin recoups about one-fourth. When Worthington opened its community/recreation center 10 years ago, city leaders hoped that healthy membership fees would offset expenses. “There was a sense that the facility would generate a high percentage of income in order to help pay itself,” said former Worthington City Councilman Courtney Chapman. Today, less than half of [...]

Kent’s unemployment rate dropped from 7.3 percent at the start of 2011 to 5.5 percent by year’s end, according to the most recent numbers from the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services. Kent’s 5.5 percent December unemployment rate put the city in a tie with Cleveland Heights, Westlake, Strongsville and Hilliard. The only cities of any size that are included in public ODJFS statistics to have a lower unemployment rate in Ohio were Dublin (4.7 percent,) Upper Arlington (4.9 percent), Westerville (5.1 percent), Gahanna (5.2 percent), Mason City (5.4 percent) and Shaker Heights (5.4 percent). Kent’s 2011 unemployment rate peaked at 8 percent in July, when 1,400 city residents were out of work. That number continued dropping each month until it hit the year’s low of 5.5 percent in November and December, when only 900 Kentites reported being unemployed. To see a month-by-month breakdown of Kent’s 2011 civilian labor force estimates, click this link. Among the state’s 88 counties, the December 2011 unemployment rates ranged from a low of 4.9 percent in Mercer County to a high of 14.3 percent in Pike County. Rates increased in 51 of the 88 counties. Portage County’s unemployment rate of 7.2 percent in December put it at spot 71 on the 88-county list, meaning only 17 Ohio counties had a lower rate. Portage had ended 2010 with a 9.3 percent unemployment rate. Five counties had unemployment rates below 6.0 percent in December. The counties with the lowest rates, other than Mercer were: Holmes, 5.1; Delaware, 5.3; Geauga 5.8; and Medina, 5.9 percent. Nine counties had unemployment rates above 11.0 percent during December. The counties with the highest rates, other than Pike, were: Ottawa, 13.3; Adams, 12.0; Meigs, 11.8; Morgan, 11.7; Scioto, 11.5; and Clinton, Noble, and Vinton, 11.1 percent.

Jan. 25, 2012 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – WR Notes vs. Ohio State 1/29 TODAY’S ACTION No. 2 Penn State (8-1, 4-1 B1G) will host yet another marquee Big Ten dual on Sunday, Jan. 29, when No. 5 Ohio State (9-2, 3-2 B1G) visits Rec Hall. The dual begins at 2 p.m. In a dual that could feature nearly 20 ranked wrestlers, both Penn State and Ohio State are coming off wins over Iowa and are ranked among the nation’s top five. The Nittany Lions and Buckeyes will wrestle in front of nearly 7,000 fans in Rec Hall, which is already sold out for the event. Penn State is coming off a key 22-12 dual meet win over Iowa last Sunday. The Nittany Lions reeled off seven straight wins against the Hawkeyes to roll to victory. The win improved Penn State to 8-1 overall, 4-1 in Big Ten action, and was highlighted by sophomore Ed Ruth’s major decision at 174 and true freshman Morgan McIntosh’s sudden victory over Iowa All-American Grant Gambrall at 197. The Nittany Lions won the statistical battle as well, winning seven of ten bouts, four with riding time and owning a lopsided 18-10 takedown advantage. The Nittany Lions are being led by eight ranked grapplers, all of whom are in the top 12. Three-time All-American Frank Molinaro is 20-0 and ranked No. 1 at 149, All-American David Taylor is 18-0 and rnaked No. 1 at 165, All-American Ruth is 20-0 and ranked No. 2 at 174 and All-American Quentin Wright is 17-2 and ranked No. 2 at 184. Senior Cameron Wade is 17-4 at heavyweight and ranked No. 6 while true freshman Dylan Alton is ranked No. 7 at 157 with a 15-4 mark and true freshman Nico Megaludis is ranked No. 8 at 125 with a [...]
Read More >>Snowy sidewalks a side effect of Westerville cuts
The sidewalks at Westerville schools last week were a little snowier than they might have been in the past. Workers have orders not to shovel sidewalks unless they measure 2 inches of snow, although they salt sidewalks if they expect snowfall. That’s one of the “domino effects” of cuts the district has made this school year, Superintendent Dan Good said at the district school-board meeting Wednesday night. With 28 fewer custodians and maintenance workers, the property isn’t quite as tidy. Administrators are also taking on more responsibilities to make up for some who have left for “greener pastures” because their jobs were at risk. Good recommended that the district allow teachers to break their contracts if they’re at risk of losing their jobs and can find work elsewhere. That update served as a prelude to the main event last night: Administrators unveiled their priority list showing which programs should be restored first if voters approve the upcoming levy. For those of you who have been following the recent work of the Westerville school board but didn’t make it to the meeting last night (read my story), here’s a glimpse of the scene. The crowd was thinner than it has been in the past, with roughly half to two-thirds of the 150 seats occupied at the common area in Westerville South High School. Board members heard from public speakers on both sides of the district’s March levy request, but only about six people spoke, a fraction of the number that have voiced their thougths at some recent meetings. Board members were mostly quiet, listening to administrators go over the rankings. New board member Carol French and other members had several questions, but there was relatively little discussion among the board. Perhaps the most colorful moments were when Good brought up the [...]

Read More >>College basketball: MC women at Otterbein Saturday
Marietta College played Otterbein University tough but lost 68-60 in the first basketball meeting at Ban Johnson Arena in December. Now, the Jill Meiring-coached Lady Pioneers will be looking to turn the tables on the Lady Cardinals when the two Ohio Athletic Conference schools hook up in Round 2 at the Rike Center in Westerville at 3 p.m. Saturday. “Otterbein’s a very, very tough team,” said Meiring after the setback in December. MC (9-9 overall, 4-7 OAC) faces a difficult challenge, because it has struggled on the road this season, posting a 1-6 mark (1-4 OAC). The Lady Pioneers’ only away victory this campaign was 59-57 against Muskingum University way back on Nov. 30, 2011. Meanwhile, Connie Richardson-led Otterbein (13-5, 7-4) is jockeying for an OAC Tournament Playoff spot. The Lady Cardinals are coming off a 66-58 loss to Ohio Northern on Wednesday. Currently, OU is fourth in the conference standings, three games behind frontrunner and nationally-ranked Mount Union (17-1, 10-1), two behind Ohio Northern (15-3, 9-2), and one behind Capital (13-5, 8-3). Baldwin-Wallace (11-7, 6-5) and Wilmington (10-8, 6-5) are also in the hunt. The Lady Pioneers really can’t concern themselves about whether it’s a home or road game, though. They are mathematically still alive in the OAC race and just need to win if they have any hope at all of extending their season. Period. Against Otterbein, Marietta is expected to start Sierra Sigamn, Krissy Rowe, Heather Booth, Tori Dixon, and 5-foot-10 junior Aleisha Guiler, who scored her 1,000th career point in an 80-63 defeat to Muskingum on Wednesday. Guiler finished with a team-high 20 points in the contest. In the first meeting versus the Lady Cardinals, the 5-4 Dixon was a non-starter and scored 17 points. Guiler added 14, and Sigman netted 10. Otterbein will probably be [...]

FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ohio — A Westerville man accused of shooting at another driver during a road rage incident in New Albany is arraigned on two felony counts. Garrett Gray, 23, of Westerville was arraigned Thursday in Franklin County municipal court. A male driver went to the New Albany police station at about 10:45 a.m. Wednesday and told officers someone fired a weapon at him and his vehicle. The alleged victim said he was driving his vehicle near the intersection of state Route 605 and Central College Road when someone fired a round at him and then sped off. A New Albany police officer found a shell casing near the intersection. A short time later, the officer spotted the suspect vehicle at a nearby shopping center and called for assistance. Officers arrested Gray, who allegedly confessed to firing his gun at the victim. New Albany police called it an incident of road rage. Gray was charged with two felony counts: improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle (fourth-degree) and felonious assault (second-degree). Gray did not enter a plea during the arraignment. The judge issued a $25,000 cash surety bond, which Gray posted Thursday. As a condition of his bond, Gray is to stay away from the victim and have no firearms in his possession. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 3. No other details were released, but NBC4 will update as we learn new information.

Read More >>Westerville will continue TechColumbus partnership
By KELLEY YOUMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Wednesday January 25, 2012 2:35 PM Westerville City Council approved a letter of commitment with TechColumbus last week, signifying the city’s intent to continue its partnership with the business incubator for another four years. Council members voted 7-0 on Jan. 17, directing the city manager to enter into a “letter of commitment” with TechColumbus and its TechStart program. The city will commit $100,000 annually from 2013 to 2017, but that commitment will be contingent on TechColumbus’ ability to obtain matching grant funds from the state and council’s final approval of each year’s annual budget. Last year, Westerville began partnering with TechColumbus, a nonprofit that aims to help technology-related businesses start up and succeed in central Ohio. Since June, more than 25 businesses and entrepreneurs in different stages of development have worked with TechColumbus. Although TechColumbus focuses on information-technology and green-energy businesses, there are also applied-materials businesses and those in the life sciences or health care-oriented fields. The TechColumbus staff helps the entrepreneurs find coaches, mentors, financial backing and, eventually, buyers and sellers for their products. The advantage to the partnership with Westerville is that Westerville-based entrepreneurs have TechColumbus representatives focused on them. Council member Craig Treneff said when TechColumbus approached the city last year, he was skeptical, but he has seen the program pay off for local entrepreneurs. “We have to make some effort as governmental units to develop businesses the way other countries have,” Treneff said. Council chair Mike Heyeck agreed, saying he sees TechColumbus as a vital part of helping create new Westerville-based businesses. “I look at this as we’re buying the mustard seeds,” Heyeck said. TechColumbus is scheduled to apply for its next round of grant funding by Feb. 2. In other matters, city manager Dave Collinsworth last week said the [...]

By BILL EICHENBERGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Wednesday January 25, 2012 2:27 PM Blendon Township is in the early stages of evaluating a possible joint economic development zone (JEDZ) agreement with the city of Westerville that would help the township “capture” lost revenue, according to development director Bryan Rhoads. “We are very early in the process and there is not a whole lot of information right now,” Rhoads said. According to the Ohio Revised Code, a JEDZ allows two or more municipalities to enter into an agreement to share the costs of improvements in designated areas for the purpose of facilitating commercial and economic development. “Townships don’t collect income taxes,” Rhoads said. “A JEDZ is a way for us to grab some of the income taxes we’re losing to other communities and apply them to projects, services and facilities to make Blendon a better place to live.” In a posting on the township’s website, Rhoads estimated that a JEDZ with Westerville could generate up to $2 million a year in revenues for the township. “We’d like Blendon Township in a way to be an extension of Westerville,” he said. “We want to be good neighbors, so that when someone drives out of Westerville into Blendon, the transition is seamless.” The JEDZ process proscribed by the state requires public hearings to determine the terms of the contract and to designate the development zones. Subsequently, a JEDZ ordinance would be put to a vote by the residents of the township. Rhoads is currently seeking volunteers to assist him in the JEDZ process. “The main purpose of the committee will be to come up with ideas on how to educate the residents of Blendon about the JEDZ so that we can get it passed in the November election,” he said. Rhoads said the development [...]

Residents in attendance were less than enthusiastic about a proposed bike bridge over County Line Road. On Thursday, Jan. 19 about 50 residents attended an informal public meeting at the Community Center, 350 N. Cleveland Ave., that showcased plans for the bridge to carry the Westerville Bikeway over the busy thoroughfare. The proposed bike trail bridge was rendered on four poster boards. “Are there other alternatives? What are the needs?” said Larry Shaw, a resident of Nature Trail. Shaw said he favors a traffic signal that would only be in use when activated by someone using the bikeway, which runs from Schrock Road to Maxtown Road along a former railroad right of way. The biggest reason cited for the bridge was safety, said City Engineer Susan Banbury and Bill Marty, the project manager for WD Transportation. While no major accidents have been reported at the intersection of County Line Road and the bikeway — located about 0.3 miles east of State Street — Marty said sight lines are not sufficient to cross the 48 feet of roadway, especially when you consider cars are traveling an average of 42 miles per hour in the 35 miles per hour zone. The proposed plan, which would be located entirely on city-owned property, would move the trail slightly to the east and construct a 16-foot-high bridge over the roadway. Access to the bridge would be not just from the bike path but from also the south side of County Line Road, with the two paths being separated by a low wall. All grades would have less than 5 percent grade and be ADA accessible. Residents to the north were concerned about what they would see from their back yards, and Marty said it would be a grass hill. The total cost of the project [...]

Hondros told me the Westerville-based private college began researching schools that train dealers for table games more than a year ago. Then school officials reached out to Penn’ National’s Ameet Patel shortly after he was named general manager for the Columbus casino in June. That was about two months before he actually arrived in town to lead the casino launch. “(Hondros) was truly five steps ahead of me on what a potential dealers school could look like here and the economics of it,” Patel said. That diligence was rewarded Wednesday when Penn National (NASDAQ:PENN) made it official that Hondros will train about 400 dealers for table games – think poker, blackjack, craps and roulette – for the Columbus casino. Training will begin this summer, so dealers will be ready to go when the casino opens in the fourth quarter this year. Hondros said her college is always on the lookout for opportunities to move into new career fields, and the casino dealers program is the latest example. Best known for its [...]
Read More >>200-plus jobs, sports could be cut
By KELLEY YOUMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Wednesday January 25, 2012 2:26 PM Pinning the future on a March levy, the Westerville Board of Education on Jan. 23 approved $16.7 million in additional budget cuts, and at the same time approved a list of which programs would be first to return if voters approve Issue 10. Board members voted 5-0 to approve cuts for next school year, including all sports and extracurricular activities, changes to busing and eliminating more than 200 teaching and staff positions. The board also unanimously approved a ranked list of which programs and services the district would consider restoring first, should the levy pass. The 6.9-mill, five-year levy, if approved, is expected to raise $16.5 million per year, according to district figures. It is expected to cost property owners an additional $210 for every $100,000 of home valuation. Programs for gifted students and reading intervention are among the items the district hopes to restore first. Transportation is not on the list of things that would automatically be restored if the March levy passes, although district officials have said repeatedly that it is a priority. Money from the levy will not be collected until 2013. However, the district has said it may be able to leverage some of the anticipated revenue to bring back some programs in the fall. Westerville school officials needed to bridge a $23-million budget deficit after voters rejected a combined 4.06-mill property tax and a 0.5-mill income tax in November. The board made the first round of cuts in December. Those included high school duty monitors, 28 custodian positions and two administrators’ jobs. Board members said Monday the cuts were not something they wanted to vote for, but had to. Ohio law requires public school districts to operate with balanced budgets; if the Westerville [...]
