The Next Level Football Camp hosted by New York Giant Domenik Hixon and Former Toledo Rocket Anthony Jordan will be July 11 at Whitehall Yearling High School 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. Jordan is currently an assistant football coach at Seton Hill University in Pennsylvania.
Both young men have gone on from their hometown to pursue their dreams, and they want to see other Whitehall youth have every opportunity to do the same. On July 10 they will host an event at Buffalo Wild Wings 5-8 p.m. Autographed football memorabilia will be auctioned, with all proceeds benefitting the WYHS athletic department.
Hixon and Jordan feel it is important to give back to their home community, so the annual event is two-fold. Children have an opportunity to learn from pros, while their alma mater receives a financial boost, as well.
The staff roster is impressive, and follows:
NaShan Goddard - Seattle Seahawks
Brian Clark - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Steve Cargiale - New York Giants
Chase Blackburn - New York Giants
Mathias Kiwanuka - New York Giants
Michael Matthews - New York Giants
Sinorice Moss - New York Giants

Dianne Garret Reports. Whitehall Enforcing Vicious and Dangerous Dog Law
Mayor John Wolfe has issued a reminder that all dogs were to be licensed by February 1. If you own a pit bull or any sub-species of this breed, by definition of state law, these animals are automatically declared vicious. Owners of these animals must comply immediately with the provisions of Chapter Five of the Administrative Code pertinent sections: 505.1, 505.2, 505.14, 505.21, 505.22 and 1125.06.
Failure to register these animals with the Whitehall Police Department and obtain a valid license through Franklin County can result in substantial penalties being invoked.
These provisions fall under Ordinances 49-08 and 61-08.

Thompson continues asking Whitehall City Council to consider a controversial resolution.
Whitehall City Council woman Jackie Thompson is once again bringing forth a controversial resolution.
She is asking her peers to designate February as "science month". It was her intention to honor Charles Darwin on his 200th birthday and Galileo's 400th anniversary of the first use of a telescope.
At the meeting on January 13, council member, Bob Bailey, reminded Thompson that February 12 is the birth date of what he called "probably the most important president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln". Thompson said that she knew it was someone else's birthday, but couldn't remember who. However, she was insistent that council should honor the two scientists for their accomplishments, particularly Darwin, for his contributions to medicine and evolution.
Again, Bailey reminded her that the Theory of Evolution is still only an unproven theory, and offered to give her his points on creationism. Council members also suggested eliminating the names, and just leaving it as "science month". Thompson would not budge.
One year ago, as Thompson began her first year of a four year term on council, she introduced stiff legislation to ban pit bulls from the city. Council later adopted another piece of legislation designed by Bailey, which allowed for an appeals board, and basic laws mirroring those of the Ohio Revised Code. The resolution received a first reading at the January 20 meeting, which gives council more time at the next committee meeting on January 27 to discuss it further.
Council plans to act upon the resolution at the February 3 meeting. At that time they could choose to suspend the rules and vote, or proceed to a third and final reading on February 17.
Thompson has been an activist in the community for many years before running for a city council seat, which she only won by a three per cent margin. Some residents and council members feel that her proposed pit bull ban last year brought much unnecessary, negative publicity from outsiders to the little town.
Her latest resolution proposal is once again not looking too promising.
Whitehall City Council meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month to pass legislation at 7 p.m. Committee meetings are the second and fourth Tuesday each month at 6:30 p.m. The public is welcome, but there is no public input at committee meetings.

MacKenzie Owens wins cake decoration contest. Dianne Garrett reports.
MacKenzie Owens with her gingerbread castle fashioned after "Candy Land".MacKenzie Owens may only be a pint size seven year old, but she has a big creative spirit to go along with her holiday spirit. The Whitehall youth participated in this year's "Gingerbread House Competition" sponsored by Franklin Park Conservatory. Children up to 12 years old had to make a house from their favorite book, movie or game. MacKenzie chose "Candy Land", and built a beautiful castle of ice cream cones, gum drops, graham crackers and other yummy confections.
Other categories included family, adult and professional. Family had to do a replica of their home, adults had to do a garden structure, and professionals were nature inspired. There were over 40 entries, only one was professional, and that one received a small cash prize. All others were awarded a one year membership for their entire households to the conservatory for one year.
The sweet creations were judged on over all appearance, originality/creativity, difficulty, precision and consistency of theme. The outside of the structures had to be edible, and children were to do all the work themselves. MacKenzie and her mom spent a lot of time searching the for materials at the grocery store.
Some other designs included an igloo, tree trunk with a scene inside, log cabins and gardens.
MacKenzie is the daughter of Bayden Eastman and Dale Owens, and the granddaughter of Barb Penn and great-granddaughter of June Bare, who was ill and unable to be present for a photo. Congratulations, MacKenzie, on a job well done, and thanks for sharing it with WCRX.
Holidays at the Conservatory runs through January 4, 2009. Please see more information on this blog about Franklin Park Conservatory.
Seven year old MacKenzie Owens created this gingerbread castle, and won a year's membership to Franklin Park Conservatory for her entire household. Pictured left to right are her mother, Bayden Eastman, five year old brother, Mason Owens, and grandmother, Barb Penn. Great-grandmother, June Bare, also of Whitehall, was unable to be present.Bexley Public Radio Foundation broadcasting as

Whitehall Council President Brent Howard (left) looks forward to flipping pancakes each year for Santa and breakfast attendees. WCCA member, Dana Jones, was a little more hesitant about sending a flapjack into the air.
Whitehall City Councilwoman Leslie LaCorte shares a pancake moment with five year old granddaughter, Abella Bishop, at the WCCA breakfast with Santa event.
This little baby seemed quite content on December 13, and oblivious to all the pratter. Santa came to Whitehall Community Park to the delight of area children. Whitehall Community Celebration Association sponsored the annual breakfast with Santa event to benefit Community Kids Christmas, which provides Christmas to needy children and their families. Admission was one dollar or a canned food item for a chance to visit with the jolly elf and enjoy all the pancakes and sausage they could eat.

Dianne Garrett reports: Whitehall Community Kids Christmas.
Zach Woodruff, Whitehall Community Affairs Coordinator, visited our studio Wednesday, November 19 to share information about Community Kids Christmas. The program started ten years ago by Eastern Kiwanis and Pride of Whitehall. Each year they have raised money and collected gifts for needy children of Whitehall.
Zach explained that they tried something new this year. The fund raising began in late July in the business community, and to date they have raised over $11,000. The theme this year was "100 from 100 in 100", meaning they asked 100 businesses to give $100 within 100 days. Some gave more and some gave less, but all were excited to be on board, according to Zach. "I was pleasantly surprised with all the gloom and doom you hear about the economy. There is a passion to serve this community, even among the business owners who do not live here. The generosity is still strong. He noted that most of the businesses in the city are small.
He has worked with the social workers in the school district to identify the children and their families with needs. They then went out into the homes to learn about the kids to find out what they want, as well as what parents say they need.
Between 160-175 children will receive gifts, and the organizers hope they can serve 250 next year. "We stole a page from Jimmy Carter and Habitat for Humanity" this year. When people receive a home from Habitat, they are required to help build the home. So we asked our parents to help. By doing this, we are empowering the parents to be able to take part in the process," explained Zach.
On the second and third weeks of December 50-gallon trash bags will be dropped off, one for each child. They will be delivered while the children are at school. They will also include wrapping paper, tape and scissors to ensure the parents have the tools to do the wrapping.
He said that the parents are very excited to participate.
Santa's Christmas Coach will also make the rounds on December 20, 21 and 22 to deliver one gift that each of those children listed for their parents. Some who wanted bikes will get them delivered by the coach. Zach said, "Anyone who doesn't think the spirit of Christmas is alive and well, should come to Whitehall. The families will also receive everything they will need for Christmas dinner. Any stragglers they were unable to deliver, will be delivered on Christmas Day by Zach and his wife and others.
The businesses who have donated will receive a window cling-on to alert patrons of their participation. The establishments will be recognized by ads, as well, for residents and patrons to be aware of their generosity. Zach added that the businesses go above and beyond just paying their taxes to the city. The approximately 85 partners also include churches, civic organizations and individuals. He concluded by saying, "We want to be as responsive and generous as we can, with continued efficiency in order to expand next year.
If anyone would like to contribute, they can call Zach at 614-205-9811.

Man arrested for murder of his own child. Reported by Dianne Garrett.
Whitehall Police have arrested John. T. Streater and charged him with murder in the death of his two month old daughter, Jordyn Streater.
Jordyn was taken to Children's Hospital on October 30 with a skull fracture and brain damage. She died a short time later.
Jordyn's twin brother, Justin, was found to have suffered similar injuries, and is currently being treated at Children's. The father has also been charged with felonious assault for the injuries to Justin, according to Detective Steven E. Brown.
Streater and the twins' mother, Suprina Case, lived with their children at an apartment located at 22-A Fairway Boulevard.
Streater is not employed, and watches the children during the day while Case works outside the home. The criminal investigation showed that Jordan suffered fatal injury while in the care of her father,
This is the second murder in Whitehall this year.
