JOHNSTOWN — Sevi Chiddention’s primary job is to guide an emerging pitching staff for the Johnstown baseball team
and the sophomore catcher made his job easier May 2
two-run single capped Johnstown’s three-run first inning
Junior Conner Sullivan and sophomore Landon Larason made it stand up as the right-handers combined to scatter four hits in the host Johnnies’ 4-1 victory against rival Northridge in Licking County League-Cardinal Division play
and we just have to keep the positive energy and the confidence
it gave me the confidence to go up there and get a hit.”
Johnstown snapped a six-game losing streak in LCL games
and a quick start provided that confidence
Junior Braeden Archibald singled home sophomore Luke Carter as the first three Johnnies reached
and three batters later Chiddention did not let Northridge sophomore right-hander Kash Reeves minimize the damage
Chiddention hit a seventh-inning home run in the season opener against West Muskingum and drove in late runs against Licking Valley and Hamilton Township
He started his work early and kept right on going against Northridge
finishing 3 for 3 and bumping his team-best RBI total to 12
“He’s a grinder,” Johnstown coach Travis Carpenter said
We have talked to the team a little bit about the peaks and the valleys of the season
We have let a few get away that we shouldn’t have
Sullivan ran into a jam in the top of the fifth
He allowed just one base runner on a hit by pitch
and the game ended on Archibald’s back-handed stop and throw from deep in the hole at short to get the batter at first
“We wouldn’t have won if Larry didn’t come in with the bases loaded
though,” Sullivan said “He saved that inning for me
He’s the one that works his butt off the most.”
Northridge left a runner in scoring position in four of seven innings
He had defensive help as freshman Titus Hardin threw out a runner at the plate from left field and freshman Sam Miller caught a runner stealing
and (Reeves) did a great job,” Northridge coach Jeremie Young said
“We had runners in scoring position numerous times
Johnstown’s top of the order was active as Carter had a hit and a run
junior Landon Myers two runs and Archibald
who rebounded from rough outings against Newark Catholic and Utica
inducing five ground outs and three pop outs
Larason then built on picking up a victory against Hamilton Township in his previous outing
“I tell them to not get down because some of these hits and some of these runs aren’t their fault,” Chiddention said
“I just keep telling them to pound the strike zone and good results will happen.”
Northridge recently earned its first two LCL victories of the season against Utica and Zanesville and dropped a one-run game to Watkins Memorial
The young Vikings scored on a bloop RBI single from sophomore Brice Beaver
“We are playing some of our better baseball as of late,” Young said
but we played a really good defensive game today

At its April 24 meeting, the Los Angeles City Planning Commission signed off on a proposal to bring affordable housing to a site just east of the Cal State University, Northridge campus.
Proposed by Los Angeles-based developer Uncommon
calls for the construction of a new five-story building containing 232 apartments above a single level of subterranean parking with 63 vehicle stalls
As a condition of approval for density bonus incentives permitting a larger building than zoning rules would otherwise allow, all of the apartments are to be set aside for rent as low- and moderate-income housing save for a market rate manager's unit
JZA Architecture is designing the contemporary podium-type building
The Northridge project is smaller than what was initially pitched for the site
Uncommon proposed the project as a larger seven-story building featuring 255 studio
and two-bedroom apartments above podium parking for 125 vehicles

The Northridge Local School District is the proud home of the Vikings — the name of the mascot for the rural district in central Licking County — and the school board starts each monthly meeting by reading the “Viking Values” the district says it upholds:
Those words ring hollow with a growing number of constituents who are tired of what they call board inaction on longstanding issues that have fostered distrust, a lack of communication and collaboration, and tension between leaders in the Northridge district office
One of the nearly 50 people who attended an April 15 meeting — a school secretary seeking pay parity with higher-paid district office secretaries since November — spoke briefly during a public comment period
urging the board to remember “the Viking Values you put in place when you vote tonight.”
After nearly two hours in executive session
the board emerged with a motion by board President Evelyn Vance to fix an unusual management structure that
has helped foster a dysfunctional environment for district leaders
Vance proposed removing business duties from the treasurer and giving them to the incoming superintendent — duties that by board policy should belong to the superintendent but were given to Britt Lewis when he was hired in 2012 as treasurer and business services director
technology and custodial and food services
in addition to the district's financial matters
The board approved the motion 5-0, transferring those duties by Aug. 1 or when a new superintendent is hired, whichever comes first. Superintendent Kristine Michael
who requested the changes after she was hired in 2023
is retiring in June and taking a job in Washington state
Superintendents in Ohio typically function as the chief executive officer responsible for academics and district operations
and the treasurer is responsible for financial matters
Some critics have suggested that assigning business duties to Lewis was illegal
he read from a section of the Ohio Revised Code — 3319.031 — that he says gave the board legal authority to do that
and I wanted to get that cleared up,” Lewis said
We have been operating different from our policies
but we have not been operating illegally.”
Shifting some of the traditional superintendent duties to the treasurer put Lewis in a position for potential conflicts of interest because he and his office
are responsible for his wife’s position as the district’s food service director and her department
Addressing the management structure took on new urgency in the wake of an annual state audit of the 1,200-student district that came with a letter citing noncompliance: By assigning the treasurer duties for which the superintendent is responsible
Ohio Auditor Keith Faber sent a letter March 5 to district officials saying his office would refer to the Ohio Ethics Commission a concern about Lewis being involved in hiring his wife
as the food service director — and that she reports to the assistant treasurer
Britt Lewis said during the April 15 board meeting that the district is in fine shape financially and that “it was a clean audit — the 12th in a row,” insisting that “there were no noncompliance findings” — after which board member Kate Creager and a district resident
noted the state auditor’s letter says “Noncompliance Finding.”
Lewis said he had previously faced ethics complaints because of his relationship with the food service director
He also said he believes there is no ethics investigation underway because
no one from the Ohio Ethics Commission has contacted him
An ethics commission investigator told The Reporting Project on April 4 that
commission staff cannot discuss investigations or confirm when it is conducting them
The vote to align the management structure with board policy and common practice came after the board went into a closed-door session with a representative of K-12 Business Consulting
a firm it hired to find a new superintendent — the district’s third in eight years
The firm had been on a listening tour throughout the district during the past month and repeatedly heard that “existing dysfunction amongst the board and district leadership creates mistrust of the leadership team within the district and community,” according to a draft copy of a K-12 “superintendent search profile” obtained by The Reporting Project
The report said that board members told the firm about a “lack of communication
Administrators spoke of “poor relations between top district level leadership
absence of shared vision amongst the leadership team
(and) confusion as to who to turn to for decisions and clarifications.”
Teachers said the “district organization chart causes confusion as to who to contact for clarification when needed; district-level leadership’s inability to work together has caused concerns and rumors in buildings about unfair treatment
unequal pay and allegations of nepotism and favoritism.”
Support staff raised concerns about a “lack of leadership and vision coming from the central office leadership team.”
community members and high school students
the report said conflict and distrust among the board and district administrators are apparent and create confusion among the community
The report said the district's organizational chart does not align with state law
and the district needs to improve its transparency in decision-making and communication
Vance repeatedly thanked the Northridge community members for their feedback and suggestions
Lewis said he was happy with the decision to move his duties to the new superintendent for what he said will be his last fiscal year with the district
The school board’s next regular meeting is at 6:30 p.m

The demolition of Northridge Mall could be done by year's end, but the redevelopment of the 55-acre site may take longer — and require some patience
“It is important to get this right,” Milwaukee Commissioner of City Development Lafayette L
“We want to make sure that whatever replaces the former Northridge Mall will add to the economic vibrancy of the Granville area
Crump spoke at a Wednesday meeting to update residents on the mall’s demolition and redevelopment potential. The former mall, now rebranded as Granville Station, is the largest contiguous development site in the city
a Baker Tilly development and community advisor
noted that the site has been vacant for 15 years
losing out on retail and commercial investments that went to surrounding suburbs
Its distance from an interstate highway — about four miles — makes it hard to market to speculative developers
And there's still a negative perception of the site
Lengthy zoning approval processes could sour developers
He said the city must act more quickly on proposed developments
But Vaughn said there’s potential to fill a gap in urban manufacturing or create a mixed-use neighborhood with residential
commercial and retail to make it a destination location
“The opportunity here is the scale of it,” he said
But Vaughn added that patience is needed to attract a project that creates family-sustaining jobs and a solid tax base
Larresa Taylor said she also recognizes the challenges
but the mall's demolition presents a clean slate that “gives us the ability to be creative as we want to be.”
Rebranding the mall to Granville Station is part of that clean slate
the mall has been dogged by a negative perception as unsafe
Taylor said she wants people to look at the site’s potential
the mall drew people from all over the city and the county
Its redevelopment can bring people back and be an economic boon to the area
we can bring people into the city instead of our people going out of the city,” Taylor said
Taylor said she doesn’t want to inundate the area with new housing
That could help achieve Mayor Cavalier Johnson's goal of growing Milwaukee’s population to a million
“I think we are the only district to have the potential to do that,” Taylor said
“because we have so much land available for development
The meeting also served as a venue to get residents' input on possible uses for the site
knows what she doesn’t want — liquor stores
adding that another possibility could be a training center for national organizations to hold employee workshops and conferences
She lives around the corner from it and would often go
She said it was convenient and safe before it started to deteriorate
She said it’s a shame malls are struggling now
But she did like the name change to Granville Station
because of Northridge's bad perception over the years
hopefully good things will come with that,” Lee said

Terry Patterson Taylor of Brown Deer also likes the name change
She attended the meeting to learn about the mall’s redevelopment and how her idea for a family entertainment center could fit into it
I do hear we have to be patient,” she said
But Granville resident Jenifer Adams admitted some skepticism
She stopped at a poster board with potential development usages
including entertainment and a sports and amusement complex
Adams doesn’t think those ideas will work on this side of town
already has light industrial and adding more retail doesn’t make sense
especially along West Brown Deer Road and North 76th Street
“Commercial and retail space — there is so much of it that's empty and available right now
but … I really don’t see a future in it being more than just housing."

a team of police in riot gear carrying rifles stormed Northridge Middle Community School in the Valley
Educators were instructed to go on lockdown as the police forcefully entered random classrooms
pointing their rifles at students and staff
Northridge Middle Chapter Chair Ivannia Nolasco said the school was on lockdown for two hours
but the school’s administration provided very little information to educators and students about what was happening.
“We weren’t even given information that police were on campus,” said eighth-grade student Annabelle Cardoza
“We didn’t get the announcement that lockdown was happening.”
Nolasco was told by her administrator that instruction must continue
my response to that was that I was confused as to how she thought that instruction could continue after this traumatic event,” said Nolasco.
School lockdowns followed by a lack of response from administration are becoming commonplace at Northridge Middle. Educators have been taking action to hold the district accountable for campus safety and supporting the school community.
“More overwhelming than what that moment was
was the fact that we have experienced this before at the school
and we still have no protocols for safety,” said Nolasco
“We still have no clear systems of communication
there’s no transparency about what happened
and many questions remain unanswered.”
the Northridge Middle Chapter Action Team met to make an action plan
They coordinated a Zoom meeting with students’ families on Tuesday and on Thursday picketed before school to demand that the district and school administration commit to establishing transparent protocols.
Northridge Middle School parent Adrian Magaña-Lara said what educators and parents are demanding is simple
“The teachers are out here taking extra time out of their day to get something very
very basic like mental health support and access to the kids’ cell phones,” said Magaña-Lara
“That way our kids have communication with us directly and we’re not having to wait for these five robocalls with mixed information in each one.”
Educators and families are demanding:
“We want everybody to know that we are standing together
and that we are going to continue to fight
to uplift this community because our students deserve it,” said Nolasco

LAYTON — Clearfield played small ball in a big way Thursday against Northridge.
The Falcons used 12 hits — 11 of them singles — plus 10 walks and countless stolen bases to run-rule the Knights 14-3 and sweep their Region 5 softball series.
“We scouted them and saw things where we knew we were going to be able to steal today,” Clearfield coach Kamie Hoggan said.
Clearfield (9-4, 6-1 Region 5) flew to an early 5-1 lead, cobbling together those five runs through two innings on two hits, five walks, four stolen bases and one Northridge error.
The Falcons scored three, two, one and three runs over the first five innings before putting up five in the sixth to kick in the run-rule, which means they tallied in five of the six innings. That’s one of their team goals.
“Two, three an inning; chip away;” Hoggan said. “We didn’t win one inning, so we had to come back and win the next one.”
Senior starting pitcher Jenna Lloyd gave up nine runs in the first two innings of Clearfield’s game against Northridge last month and came in with an attitude Thursday.
“That game was rough and this time I came in with a competitive mindset,” Lloyd said. “I needed to do this for my team. I needed to do better. My team had my back in the earlier game and I needed to step up.”
Lloyd credited freshman catcher Alexandra Bingham for her success in the circle.
“My catcher is there to help me a lot. I wouldn’t be able to do it without her,” Lloyd said. “She does an amazing job behind the plate, framing all my pitches.”
Bingham said she was just doing her job: “Be able to work with the pitcher and be able to be what they need for you in the game,” Bingham said.
Addyson Haddock hit a sacrifice fly to left field in both the first and second innings for RBIs, then scored a run in the fourth, making it 6-1 for the Falcons.
Northridge (5-7, 2-4) bounced back, cutting the lead to 6-3 in the fourth on a towering home run by third baseman Kaydence Chournos.
“Recently I’ve been struggling but before I came to this game, I had the mentality I was going to get a hit and it changed my swing a little bit,” Chournos said. “I think I read the ball on that one. It was right down the middle, so I took it and prayed that it went over, and it did.”
Clearfield countered with three runs in the fifth for a 9-3 edge, then the five-run sixth to close it out.
“Northridge has some bats on them; Jenna bounced back after the runs they scored and shut them down really quick,” Bingham said. “She’s awesome; she hits her spots all the time. She has a good attitude and stays pumped, never gives up.”
Lloyd scattered nine hits over the six innings, walked three and struck out six. She worked out of several tight jams as the Knights left nine runners on base.
“My dad taught me to have a mindset that when runners get on, just lock in on the batter and know I have to get this out before they advance,” Lloyd said.
While some in attendance wondered aloud about the strike zone, Lloyd didn’t criticize. She adapted.
“The strike zone is always hit and miss with the umpires. … Sometimes like today, you have an umpire who doesn’t like the outside corner so you don’t get those calls, but we figured it out,” Lloyd said. “If he’s not going to call the outside, I’ll stay inside.”
Northridge scored 10 runs in the first meeting with Clearfield but Lloyd had the upper hand Thursday.
“Our approach at bat was a lot different. We were more scared for some reason; kept dipping our shoulders and getting under the ball this time,” Chournos said. “If we change those things we can get back to how we played them the first time.”
Chournos coupled a single with her home run and right fielder Kiersten Carbone also had two hits for the Knights on Thursday.
For Clearfield, Bingham got four RBIs on three hits, Haddock drove in three, and Lloyd and third baseman Abbie Hale scored three runs each.
“Today their outfield was like, on the fence; I was making sure to just put it in play where I can’t get other people out,” Bingham said.
Sporting a very young team, Clearfield starts five freshmen (Bingham, Hale, left fielder Lyla Leonhardt, right fielder Emma Dishongh, shortstop Skylar Davis), and three sophomores (centerfielder Haddock, second baseman Lilly Lara, first baseman Brynn Nicholls) to back up Lloyd.
“They’re great kids. They have a lot of talent. They’re buying into what we’re teaching them and they’re sponges. The younger they are, the more open they are for you to coach them,” Hoggan said. “When you’re 14, it’s ‘OK, teach me everything.’
“Hopefully they have fun in a close and good environment. Sports is an escape from real life; leave things behind and just come and play ball.”
