Columbus Munden Jordan Mills, 17, a junior at Harvest Preparatory School in Canal Winchester, Ohio, announces a boys' basketball game at the school. He and his fans are wearing T-shirts that say, "Trrraaveling his signature call. Prep announcer wins fan base of his own By Nick Chordas The Columbus Dispatch COLUMBUS The football coach recruited him.

The boys' basketball coach calls him a star. He even has his own T-shirt. Yet junior Jordan Mills, a student at Harvest Preparatory School, has never set foot on the gridiron or hard court not as a varsity athlete, anyway. Instead, he fires up the crowd from a different position: behind the mike. "Just listen to his voice," Warriors fan Karen Kjergaard said during a recent boys' basketball game at the private Christian high school in Canal Winchester.

"He's great." Jordan announces football games in the fall and boys' and girls' home basketball games in the winter. His colorful style part Michael "Let's get ready to rumble" Buffer and part enthusiastic play-by-play radio man has earned him a following of sorts. Football coach Jack Johnson requested that Jordan announce games during the past season. And he has been mentioned in chat rooms on the Ohio high-school sports site JJHuddle and on WLRY-FM, which broadcasts some Harvest Prep games. "Trrraaveling violation!" his signature call, delivered in a booming baritone markedly different from his usual softspoken tone is printed on the front of 25 T-shirts that sold out before they were printed.

"I wanted to have my own little catchphrase that people knew me for," said Jordan, 17. "I probably got it from watching Ohio State and NBA games. I just wanted to put a cool twist on it." Those who know Jordan outside the gym are surprised at the transformation that occurs when he holds a microphone. "Jordan is normally a quiet kid," said Mike Thornton, the boys' basketball coach and a math teacher. "He's quiet in class and quiet in the hallways.

In the last 36 BEXLEY, Ohio Elementary school students in this Columbus suburb are pioneers in a curriculum designed to promote intellectual discovery and better problem solving. District officials say Cassingham Elementary School is the first Ohio primary school to offer the International Baccalaureate program. The curriculum, used in nearly 2,000 schools worldwide, is designed by an educational organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. Teacher Sonja Hutchison urges students "to make your question deeper" under the program that encourages students to become selfmotivated learners by researching instead of being lectured to. IB is best known for its challenging college preparatory courses for high-school students bound for the most prominent universities in the country.

Three Franklin County high schools Columbus Alternative, Upper Arlington and Westerville South offer it. Cassingham is targeting a much younger set. It took three years for staff members there to set up the program. Last week, IB representatives visited the school to consider certifying it as an official IB school. The decision will be made this summer.

IB's elementary-school method was created in 1997 and is its newest and fastest-growing program. The number of schools using it worldwide has more than quadrupled to 309 since 2001. The method requires that students begin learning a foreign language by age 7, and thinking globally is stressed in each lesson. Kindergartners in Hutchison's classroom recently learned about Mexico. Now, the 5- and 6-year-olds can identify it as the country below Texas and explain the importance of its customs.

"It's not about food, flags and festivals," said Cassingham Principal Barbara Heisel. "These are big-picture things that the children think about." The district paid nearly $9,000 in application fees and travel costs for the IB representatives. If approved, Cassingham, with 367 students, will have to pay an annual $5,220 fee to remain an IB school. Some critics say the nonprofit IB organization's program costs too much, and it does not provide grants. Others say its global focus leans too far to the political left.

Both criticisms came up in a heated debate that led a Pennsylvania school board to eliminate its seven-year-old IB program. The program was reinstated last year on a trial basis. 'Jordan is normally a quiet kid. He's quiet in class and quiet in the hallways. The first time I heard him on the microphone, I had no idea it was Mike Thornton, Harvest Preparatory School boys' basketball coach and math teacher "The first time I heard him on the microphone, I had no idea it was him." Jordan picked up the gig by volunteering last year with a friend, who has since graduated.

So he goes solo as many as three nights a week team rosters and water bottle always at the ready. "I have favorite names on the teams," Jordan said. "(Sophomore) Nehemiah Trotter is probably my favorite to say. (Senior) Marquis Mathis is another good one." The enthusiasm is infectious, said Nehemiah, a starting guard. "When he said my name the first time 'NEE-uh-MY-uh it was like 'Oh, I like Trotter said with a laugh.

"It gets the team all hyped up." Besides giving him a small taste of celebrity, Jordan said, the experience has helped him identify a career goal: He'd like to work in sports radio or as an announcer for one of his two favorite teams the Cleveland Indians and the Columbus Blue Jackets. He also hopes to parlay his announcing gig into a minor moneymaker: He plans to sell the second order of T-shirts at upcoming games. "The first batch, I broke even," he said. "So the next batch I thought I might make a little profit." and it's all natural, so we're not hurting a recent trip to South Africa, where she the environment," he said. was raised.
