City needs more money for street work By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The city’s streets are slowly crumbling, and money to fix them is scarce. The city has spent an average of $421,000 each of the past 10 years on resurfacing. At that rate, it would take 50 years to resurface each street once, director of engineering services Bill Fer-
rigno told city council on Feb. 14. Ferrigno said the city should be spending between $1.2-million to $1.4-million on annual resurfacing. Ferrigno said petroleum and fuel increases have increased resurfacing costs. The cost to resurface a road has increased by 93 percent, he said, from 46 cents per square foot in 2001 to 89 cents in 2011. “We are unable to maintain the integrity
of those pavements,” Ferrigno said. Ferrigno compared road repair to a leaky roof. Untouched streets would need base repairs instead of just repairs to the top portions. “(If) you don’t take care of the top surface, your cost goes higher and higher,” he said. Ferrigno told ThisWeek the city needs to pave arterial and collector streets first. They include Pennsylvania Avenue, San-
dusky Street and Executive Boulevard. He said funding includes: • Ohio Department of Transportation paying to pave state and U.S. highways about every 10 years. The city pays 20 percent of the cost. ` • An average of $450,000 per year from the state from license fees and gasoline taxes. • Local Transportation Improvement
Project matching grants from the Ohio Public Works Commission for several road projects. The Delaware County engineer provides the city up to $50,000 for those projects. Ferrigno suggested funding strategies including: • A front footage pavement mainteSee STREET WORK, page A6

Students study fruit fly genetics By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Junior and senior biology students at Hayes High School have been getting up close and personal with fruit flies. Peg Babson’s biology 2 class is home to thousands of flies, which students must use in a genetics experiment. The class is studying eye color over three generations of flies. Babson, who has taught for 32 years, has been doing this experiment for the last 20. She said it’s a great exercise for the class. “We can observe three generations of fruit flies here in about six weeks,” she said. Since eye color is a sex-linked trait, students have to cross pairs of flies and record the results. Groups get two vials, one with red-eyed flies and one with white-eyed flies. Initially, they have to make two parental crosses: a red-eyed female with a whiteeyed male and a white-eyed female with a tricky. The flies in the crosses must be used red-eyed male. Red eyes are the dominant before they’re 8 hours old, so students have trait. to catch the flies soon after they’ve hatched. The breeding part is where things get “It’s all a matter of timing,” Babson said.
Students have to check their fly vials first thing in the morning before classes. Senior Monica Tellez said it’s important to check the fruit flies at least three times a day to make sure no newly born flies are in the breeding tubes. She also said it’s challenging to determine the sex of the flies, which can be identified only by using a microscope. Though the females have striped abdomens, this trait doesn’t appear until the flies are older. Babson said the experiment is a way to get the students physically involved with the subject material. “It’s actually something that you can see,” she said. Anything outside the normal classroom activities is more engaging for students, Babson said. For her part, Tellez said, she enjoys projects and group work. “I love hands-on experiments because they keep my attention and I learn better when I am up and moving,” she said.

Delaware police chief Russ Martin doesn’t think anyone would benefit from hiring an officer who would receive overtime to be stationed at city council meetings. Martin presented his threat assessment at the Feb. 14 city council meeting. Council had previously discussed whether added security was necessary in the aftermath of the Jan. 8 shooting of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others near Tucson, Ariz., said Lee Yoakum, Delaware community affairs coordinator.

A hotel at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium complex could raise about $315,100 in annual net tax revenue for the county. That’s according to Randall Gross’ economic impact study, which he presented Feb. 17 to the county commissioners. The county had awarded an $18,900 contract to Gross to conduct a zoo hotel economic impact study. Community Development Block Grant revolving loan funds paid for the project. Gross has offices in Washington, D.C. and South Africa. According to contract specifications, Gross delivered two presentations, one focusing on the present economic impact of the zoo and the other focusing on the impact of the proposed hotel. Gross based his hotel findings on the market feasibility study conducted by David Sangree of Cleveland-based Hotel and Leisure Advisors. Gross projected that a 175-room hotel would create 223 direct and 136 induced jobs, for a total of 359 jobs. Induced figures are generated throughout the economy, or what Gross described as “the
multiplier effect.” Including sales, income and bed tax, Delaware County would receive a total of about $315,100 in tax revenues. Franklin County would receive about $919,500 in tax revenues. Those figures include direct and induced amounts. If done correctly, the hotel could be an attraction in itself, Gross said. The hotel could be themed to match the zoo complex, and visitors could possibly have nighttime zoo privileges. The establishment would offer themed restaurants, retail, arcade and family entertainment and a 15,000 square-foot meeting space. Amenities including mini-golf, spa, pool and shuttle would also be available. County economic development director Gus Comstock told ThisWeek the location and funding for the hotel are still being discussed. Delaware County wants to cooperate with Franklin County on the project, he said. “It’s kind of an exciting time as we’re coming out of this recession,” he said. Comstock said the county could partner more with the zoo. “The zoo contributes to people See HOTEL, page A7
Lottery winner likely Big Walnut district resident By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Big Walnut schools income tax receipts from the fourth quarter of 2010 suggest that the anonymous June 2 Powerball winner lives in the district, district officials said. District treasurer Felicia Drummey on Feb. 14 told the school board the district recently received its income tax revenue and it was $979,556 more than anticipated. Records show the district estimated it would receive $806,753 in January, based on the past three years’ income tax receipts. “We received $1.7-million and that is much larger than we would expect to receive for that fourth-quarter of the year. It leads us to determine that we most likely received an estimated tax payment from our lottery winner, and that’s what contributed to that large fluctuation,” said Drummey. The winner would pay income taxes to the district only if he or she is a resident of the Big Walnut school district. The anonymous winner chose to take the $261.6-million winnings as a $134.2-million lump sum. Drummey said that because it was a lump-sum disbursement, the district would only see a one-time increase in tax revenue. “That one-time influx of cash is crucial to assist us with cash flow,” Drummey said, noting the district must wait until 2012 before receiving the full collection on the emergency tax levy that voters approved in November. The school district has a 0.75-percent income tax which brings in about $4.4-million annually. The amount is about one-sixth of the district’s annual $24.8-million in revenue.

Village of Sunbury will pay more for insurance policy By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Sunbury will pay about $2,900 more for property and casualty insurance than it did last year. Council on Feb. 16 approved an annual premium for insurance totaling $37,307. Village administrator Dave Martin attributed the increase to the addition of a parttime officer and $70,000 worth of new equipment insurance for new lawn mowers and tractors. The premium has a basic cost of $35,859 from Rhinehart-Walters-Danner Insurance. Added to that is $4,400 for extra “umbrella” coverage with McGowan Insurance Group. The village received a discount of $2,952 from the Ohio Plan Advantage credit and the Safety Allowance credit. Martin attended two management classes to earn the safety credit.
The Rhinehart-Walters-Danner policy gives the village a $6million per incident coverage and an aggregate of $8-million. The “umbrella” coverage adds $3-million to both incident and aggregate coverage. The Ohio Plan credit is proportional to the insurance premium, and the premium has actually decreased, Martin said. The renewal is effective from March 1 through Feb. 29, 2012, Martin said. The village will pay half of the premium now and half in six months. The money will come out of the general fund. The village planned for the increase in preparing the budget, he said. Martin said most of the insurance is liability coverage to protect the village against lawsuits. He told ThisWeek that the “umbrella” coverage is necessary. “If there were a major event,” the $8million in coverage could not be
enough, he said. Martin, who said he started working as administrator in June 2007, said he couldn’t remember any major lawsuits against the village since that time. Also at the meeting: • Sunbury received a reimbursement check from American Electric Power for $18,369 for a billing error. AEP owed Sunbury a total of $20,201 for incorrectly charging the village for old street lights that were no longer in service, said village administrator Dave Martin. AEP gave Sunbury the remaining owed reimbursement in the form of a billing credit. Though AEP had been incorrectly charging the village for five years, its policy only allows a refund that goes back three years, Martin said. • Police officer Jeffrey Brooks was sworn in as a full-time officer. He had previously worked part time.

The Strand Theatre is a step closer to beginning renovations. About $150,000 from Delaware County will go toward making entrances and bathrooms compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The city of Delaware is also putting $50,000 toward improvements to the façade. The first priority will be the entrances and the restrooms, county economic development director Gus Comstock said. Any leftover funds will go toward making the seating ADA compliant. Funding has come from the Community Development Block Grant revolving loan fund. The county first must go through a federal funding approval process along with the bidding process for construction, however. Comstock said it would take five to six months before construction starts. The renovation is part of a larger plan for the Strand. Members of the nonprofit Strand Theatre and Cultural Arts Association want the 91-year-old theatre, at 28 E. Winter St., to be at the center of a downtown cultural art district. An environmental assessment is necessary for the ADA project to move forward. Comstock said
the assessment and the cost to hire an architect to conduct the studies will be about $20,000, or about 10 percent of the project’s total cost. The architect would be employed for about a year. It will take two to three months to complete the environmental study process and create the proposal. The architect would prepare the bidding specifications for the county to award, manage the selected contractor and review the results. In the next two to three months, Ohio Wesleyan University and the county will select an architect to do the review, Comstock said. The county doesn’t have to put the project up for bid since it’s under $25,000. It will take the architect about four to six weeks to complete the review process. The renovation could be finished in three to four months. All together, the project will take less than a year to complete. David Robbins, Strand Theatre and Cultural Arts Association board member, said he is excited about the renovation. The board will develop a strategic plan for short- and long-term projects, he said. The goal is to make the theatre more accessible. “We’d love to do everything all at once,” Robbins said. The Strand needs new carpet-

ing and an upgrade of the interior. Some curtains on the sides of the theater are torn, Robbins said. “We want to restore it as a historic theatre,” he said. The Strand operates as a firstrun movie theatre and is open every day. Robbins said it’s doing very well. “It’s rather impressive,” he said. Along with the theater, the headquarters of the Central Ohio Symphony and the City Art Center also make their home within the area, Robbins said. The center also manages the building next door to the facility. Different events are hosted upstairs, like Battle of the Bands, a program hosted by the Delaware County Area Career Center. The board is looking into donating space to other nonprofits, Robbins said. “Our interest is in supporting the arts of the community which are non profit,” he said. In addition to developing a strategic plan for the theater, the board is also putting together a business plan for the center as a whole. The plan would look at the long-term use of the space owned by the Strand.

car was hit from behind when I slowed down to turn into our driveway. The impact drove our car into the ditch, while the car that hit us traveled a little farther on before going into the ditch on the other side of the road. “We’ve been in an accident! We’ve been in an accident!” my daughters immediately cried. They were young at the time — maybe 9 and 11 — and I thought they were displaying amazing presence of mind. Certainly I had yet to think such a lucid thought as “We’ve been in an accident!” I was just beginning to connect the loud CRACK from behind with the fact that the car — having just missed a utility pole — was suddenly nose-down in the ditch. When I turned to say as much to the girls they launched without a pause into the next verse: “You’re bleeding! You’re bleeding!” In fact, I was bleeding — it was just a head wound, nothing serious, and yes, I do love saying that — but because I’d hit the framework of the car, the medics, when they arrived, insisted on putting me on a backboard, bracing my head with towels, and, on a count of three, pulling up the bed to waist height. I didn't get to watch that time, didn't get to see how neatly the bed's wheels folded up underneath like the limbs of a longlegged bird. I saw now, though, as the medics gently slid the table holding the woman into the back of the ambulance. I also saw how the medics put the young woman's purse and other belongings on her midsection before
taking her away. They did that for me too, put my purse on my chest, which made me feel faintly ridiculous, like a holiday turkey being borne off to the oven, garnishes intact. That was years ago, of course, not to mention several cars ago, though not as many cars as you might think. Meanwhile, I contemplated my suddenly exciting life. I'd probably get home to find our refrigerator broken, I thought sourly. The refrigerator is, after all, older than our daughters, and my husband and I have been expecting it to croak for years

now. The police officer, whose grasp of the collision's particulars was impressive, asked a lot of questions. I answered them politely, as if by being a model citizen I could earn prizes, perhaps a boat. Several days later, I realized that I wasn’t the only person to look at a minor accident and see prizes. Each day, the mail brings another offer from area attorneys who are distressed to hear about my troubles. “Let me fight for you!” one lawyer begs. Another assures me that he’ll handle all the paper-
work. “Your only job will be to get well,” he writes italically. Since I wasn’t injured — well, not in that accident — I concluded that I could handle the paperwork without outside assistance. However, I’m keeping these offers on file, since the way things are going I expect to be eaten by a circus lion any day now. First, though, the refrigerator will break.

Senior housing most likely will replace the former Delaware Hotel. Most of the developers who have inquired about the property, at 351 S. Sandusky St., specialize in senior and assisted living housing, said Delaware community affairs coordinator Lee Yoakum. That sort of housing would satisfy a requirement of the grant that made it possible for the hotel to be demolished. Neighborhood Stabilization Program 1 requires that the land be used for residential use, Yoakum said. The city received $1.1-million in NSP funds to put toward purchasing the land and demolishing the hotel. The city owns the property, though it partnered with the county for the demolition project. The city is the lead entity under the NSP1 grant, said David Efland, director of planning and community development. Though the former Delaware Hotel was a community gathering place for decades, that changed in the last 10 years, said Efland. “It really had fallen into disrepair,” he said. An arson fire damaged the hotel in July 2009, and city inspectors closed it for good in 2008 after discovering several code violations. The city purchased the hotel and the accompanying 5.4 acres for about $227,000. The city began the demolition
tinued to tear down the building. Two crushed piles of concrete are all that remain on the site, Efland said. “The landscape has been made to look much better,” Efland said. With the building gone, the city can now move forward with redevelopment. Efland said he hopes the city will release a request for proposals by the end of the week, or at the latest by the end of the month. Developers would have between six weeks to two months to respond. Efland said several development teams have contacted the city. “They see it as a good senior housing site,” he said. While that might be the most likely scenario for the property, Efland said it’s important to keep an open mind. Still, Efland said the city could probably use additional affordable senior housing. The low- to moderate-income neighborhood also would benefit from the stabilizing effect a housing institution would offer. “You need a use that’s going to be there for decades to come,” Efland said. The city has $250,000 left in NSP funds, said Dottie Brown, county economic development coordinator. That money will be used to demolish other properties, including the former county home at 4841 County Home Road. In a few cases, demolition is pending approval from the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. ssole@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

STREET WORK Continued from page A1 nance assessment, similar to that paid by homeowners for sidewalks. • Dedicating a percentage of funds in the capital improvement program specifically for transportation. • Assigning Community Development Block Grant funds strictly for roadway and sidewalk improvements in areas with a low median income. • Limiting financial support to New Community Authority areas, Ferrigno said. Those areas pay an additional property tax assessment. The city has two such areas: near the intersection of Cheshire Road and Glenn Parkway, and near the intersection of
Glenn Parkway and U.S. route 36. Council member Carolyn Riggle said she doesn’t think the city could pass a levy. Chris Jones, council member for the 1st ward, agreed. “Going to the citizens with a levy increase is not going to happen,” Jones said, calling transportation funding a serious problem. Voters supported a 0.15-percent income tax to build the community recreation center in 2008 and also passed a 0.3-percent income tax increase for firefighting services. Public works director Tim Browning requested $115,000 for the purchase of a self-powered
milling head. Since 1991, the local road network has increased by about 40 percent, Browning said. “It’s challenging to keep up with the road demands,” Browning told ThisWeek. Council will consider the issue after March 15, when members hear more details about the state budget. Browning told the council he respected waiting to hear from the state, but he said the problem “will not go away, no matter what the state does.” Also during the meeting, Browning said that the city has exceeded its road salt costs by $31,000. The 2011 projected cost was for $100,000. The city has spent $131,000.

Surgery an option for sinus problems Frequent sinus infections in children are a common problem, especially for children in daycare settings. The average child can have six to 10 upper respiratory tract infections a year that have symptoms including nasal discharge and blockage. Other factors that contribute to sinus infections are environmental allergies, exposure to secondhand smoke, immunodeficiency, congenital craniofacial anomalies and some inherited conditions. Children with lung problems such as asthma and cystic fibrosis often have related sinus problems. Most viral infections will resolve without treatment. A small percentage will progress to bacterial sinusitis that will require antibiotics for treatment. Narrowing or blockage of the nasal passages or sinus openings may increase the chances that a cold will progress to bacterial sinusitis. Often, children may need medication to help treat sinus problems. This could include nasal
steroids, nasal saline, mucousthinning medications called mucolytics and some allergy medications such as antiCHARLES histamines. In a small ELMARAGHY percentage of children, surgery may be necessary to relieve the blockage and open the sinuses or nasal passages. Prior to any surgery, a work-up is necessary in order to determine the appropriate treatment course. Younger children do not typically need surgery on the sinuses as their sinuses are still developing. Younger children with frequent sinus infections often have their adenoid, a patch of tissue located where the nose and throat join, removed. The adenoid can be a haven for bacteria and can often block the nasal passages. Removing the adenoid is a simple and painless surgery that can be very effective.
When the sinus problem is more involved than an enlarged adenoid, the sinuses need to be imaged via a special X-ray called a CT scan. A CT scan is the best way to investigate the anatomy of the sinuses and determine if the openings of the sinuses are blocked. If sinus openings are blocked, they can be enlarged using special instruments and a small camera called an endoscope. This is called endoscopic sinus surgery. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Rhinology Clinic is unique in that it offers allergy testing and endoscopic evaluation during the same visit. This allows both the allergist and otolaryngologist to determine an appropriate treatment plan. Dr. Charles Elmaraghy is a member of the Department of Otolaryngology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of clinical otolaryngology at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Delaware Christian Roundup
Girls team posts first tourney win since ’04 By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Delaware Christian School girls basketball team ended a six-year postseason drought when it defeated Madison Christian 54-27 in the first round of the Division IV district tournament at Central Crossing on Feb. 17. “It’s a great feeling to be able to enjoy this one with the girls because it’s been a while since we’ve won one,” coach Jackie Boggs said. The Eagles hadn’t won a tournament game since 2004. That year, they won
two postseason games before losing to fourth-seeded Centerburg 42-31. Delaware Christian hopes to at least match that when it plays eighth-seeded Fisher Catholic in the second round at 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25, at Pickerington North. The Irish beat Fairfield Christian 39-29 in their opener to advance. Fisher Catholic, which is 10-11 overall, is led by senior forward Emily Shumaker, junior forward Iris Miller and senior guard Melea Smith. Shumaker averages 12.7 points and 6.8 rebounds. Miller averages 7.4 points and 7.4 rebounds. Miller adds 7.4 points and 3.1 assists.
The seventh-seeded Eagles, who had split regular-season contests with Madison Christian, came out a bit tentative in the tournament opener. They led just 20-19 at halftime. Buoyed by its full-court press, Delaware Christian began the second half on an 8-0 run in the first 2 minutes, 35 seconds. “We turned up the pressure and got to the right spots on the floor with our press in the second half,” Boggs said. “We didn’t shoot well in the first half and once we got some layups to start the second half, we gained some confidence.”
After Madison Christian got consecutive baskets from sophomore guard Lindsay Carrier, who scored 14 points, Delaware Christian went on a 12-1 run to end the third quarter with a 40-24 lead. “I thought Lenora Boyer played a good game once she began catching the ball in the post and I think Jessica Kapraly played well, and Sarah Harp did a nice job defending Carrier,” Boggs said. “Once we got one player going well in the second half, it carried over to the entire team.” Haley Kirby led the Eagles with 15 points, 11 rebounds, six steals and four
assists. Boyer had 10 points and Kapraly added nine. Brenna McCullough had nine points and 13 rebounds. Harp supplied seven points and nine steals. The Eagles finished 5-5 in the MOCAL to tie Gahanna Christian for third place behind champion Tree of Life (9-1) and Fairfield Christian (7-3). Madison Christian and Grove City Christian both went 2-8 and tied for fifth. •The boys basketball team enters the Division IV district tournament on a high note after closing the regular See CHRISTIAN, page B2

Hayes Roundup
Boys squad wants trip to Fairgrounds By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Delaware Hayes High School boys basketball team used to struggle when playing postseason games in the Fairgrounds Coliseum. Now, the Pacers want to play there. That will be the team’s first goal when it begins Division I district tournament play against Dublin Jerome at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, at Jonathan Alder. Delaware was seeded 14th and coach Jordan Blackburn chose to enter the same bracket as second-seeded Northland, although the teams wouldn’t meet until a district semifinal at
the Fairgrounds. “We chose that spot because we felt it gives us the best opportunity to get to the Coliseum and make a run at a district title,” Blackburn said. “If we play with the sense of urgency and the level of intellect we have exhibited lately, that’s exactly where we will be headed. Once you get to the Coliseum, everyone has a shot and anything can happen.” The Pacers have not returned to the Fairgrounds Coliseum since the first two rounds of the tournament were jettisoned to different sites after the 2006 season. Delaware’s last win there was in 2003, when it won twice before losing to top-seeded Brookhaven 65-44 in a semifinal. The Pacers
are only 4-10 in the tournament in the past 10 years. Delaware won one game last season before falling to eighthseeded Marion-Franklin 50-46. Included in the string of tournament losses were three consecutive first-round defeats, each by two points, from 2005-07. To reach the Fairgrounds, the Pacers must beat Jerome and either Olentangy Liberty or Hilliard Darby in the second round at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, at Jonathan Alder. Jerome, which was 7-12 overall before Feb. 18, is coached by former Pacers assistant Dave Hale. The Celtics are led in scoring average by junior guards Cam Wilson (11.3 points per game)

and Nick Neale (10.9) and senior forward Ben Nesdore (8.5). “Jerome is a strong, physical team that relies on defensive pressure and offensive rebounding to score a good ma-
jority of their points,” BlackDelaware played Liberty but burn said. “Dave Hale is a good not Darby this season. The Pacfriend and he knows our system ers lost to the host Patriots 41-40 and our players very well. Both in the Larry Eberst Classic on teams will run similar offenses and defenses.” See PACERS, page B2
Big Walnut Roundup
Coach has high hopes for gymnasts at district By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Tim Norman/ThisWeek
Natalie Mathews was the Eagles’ top performer at the OCC-Capital meet Feb. 12, finishing fourth in the all-around. Big Walnut will compete in the district meet Saturday, Feb. 26, at Worthington Kilbourne.
Based on her team’s performance in the OCC-Capital Division meet, Big Walnut High School gymnastics coach Misty LloydMatthews has high expectations for the Golden Eagles at the district meet on Saturday, Feb. 26, at Worthington Kilbourne. “I see (the girls) hitting their highest team score of the season,” Lloyd-Matthews said. “I see it coming. I still don’t think they’ve put it all together 100 percent yet. I feel like they’re going to keep getting better.” To post its highest team score of the season, Big Walnut will have to top its score from the OCC-Capital meet held Feb. 12 at Kilbourne. The Golden Eagles scored a 122.675 to finish fourth, behind Olentangy Orange (126.9), Hilliard Bradley (125.675) and Dublin Jerome (123.1), and ahead of Mount Vernon (109.275) and Central Crossing (36.175), which had only two gymnasts compete. “I thought the girls had their best meet so far this season,” Lloyd-Matthews said. “They keep progressing, which is exciting. They still have some room to make corrections. They’ve been trying to beef up everything as far as trying harder skills. They’re taking more risks at meets, but I think it’s going to help at the end.” Big Walnut went 3-2 in OCC-Capital dual meets during the regular season to finish third behind Orange (5-0) and Bradley (4-1) and ahead of Mount Vernon (2-3),
Jerome (1-4) and Central Crossing (0-5). Combined with their performance in the league meet, the Golden Eagles finished third in the overall league standings with 14 points, behind Orange (24) and Bradley (20), and ahead of Jerome (12), Mount Vernon (10) and Central Crossing (4). Junior Natalie Mathews was Big Walnut’s top finisher in the all-around at the league meet, placing fourth with a 32.525. The junior also was the team’s top finisher on the uneven bars (7.9, fifth) and had the team’s second-highest scores on the balance beam (8.225, third), floor exercise (8.35, eighth) and vault (8.05, eighth). Victoria Lawyer, also a junior, had the team’s highest score on beam (8.275, second) and vault (8.1, tied for fourth) and tied classmate Emma Bauer for the team’s second-highest score in the all-around (30.625, tied for 10th). Bauer had the Golden Eagles’highest score on floor (8.55, fifth) and third-highest on beam (7.925, eighth). Also placing in the top 10 was junior Krystina Stacy on floor (8.275, 10th). Last season at district, Big Walnut scored a 121.325 to place 12th of the 21 teams with five or more competitors. DeSales won the district title — its sixth in seven years and eighth in 10 years — with a 135.325. Thomas Worthington (133.375), Kilbourne (133.3), Olentangy Liberty By Tim Norman/ThisWeek (129.8) and Dublin Coffman (129.25) Big Walnut’s Emma Bauer tied for 10th in the all-around rounded out the top five.

Dec. 29. Liberty, which was 136 before Feb. 18, is led in scoring by senior guard Andy Yazrombek (12.6), 6-foot-8 junior center Nick Archer (11.7) and junior guard Jake Bischoff (11.3). Darby, which was 6-12 before Feb. 18, is led in scoring by senior guard Brennan Hook (12.2), junior guard Bryson Hook (6.4) and senior point guard Matt Allen (5.5). Delaware was 13-6 overall and 10-3 in the OCC-Capital Division before closing the regular season Feb. 18 against Olentangy Orange. The Pacers handed New Albany a 57-50 loss in overtime on Feb. 11. In the extra period, Delaware outscored the Eagles 17-10 to give them their first league loss. Matt Bingaya supplied 18 points and 16 rebounds and Zach Parsons had 17 points with five 3-pointers. Mike Wells had 15 points and seven assists. “New Albany embarrassed us on our home floor (55-34 loss on Jan. 7) and our kids wanted to come out and prove to (everyone) that we are a much-improved team and that we can beat anyone,” Blackburn said. “Beating one of the top teams in central Ohio and our conference champions at their place on their senior night was our best win this season.” •The season ended Feb. 16 for the girls basketball team, which lost to Westerville North 67-46 in the first round of the Division I district tournament to finish 10-10. The Pacers overcame a slow start to trail 24-20 at halftime and seemed to have momentum after finishing the half with a 9-2 run. However, Westerville North used three consecutive 3-pointers and forced several turnovers with a full-court press to fuel a 17-2 surge that pushed its lead to 41-22 in the third quarter. After the Pacers beat the press for consecutive layups to make it 41-26, the Warriors scored the next 11 points. Delaware was outscored 28-8 in the third quarter. “We missed several (close shots) in the first half, blew defensive assignments, made unforced turnovers and allowed too many offensive rebounds, and we still trailed by just four points,” coach Erin Margraf said. “So we were excited at halftime. We knew we would shoot better, because we shot about as poor as we have all season in the first half. We just needed to improve on turnovers and defensive rebounding and continue to play good defense. “But (Westerville North) just flustered us and we were making quick turnovers and they were converting. They made two 3-pointers in the first half, but made their first three tries in the second half. They hit us so fast, we just got deflated. We never stopped playing hard, but it was just devastating mentally.” North, which outscored Delaware 24-0 from 3-point range, opened the game with a 10-2 run and led 22-11 midway through the second quarter before the Pacers rallied. Senior Caroline Welker led the Pacers with 16 points and senior Cindy Bowman added 10. Bri Clegg and Monique Jones both scored 15 points and Caitlin

EAGLES Continued from page B1 The top three teams and top eight individuals in each event, including the all-around, advance to the state meet March 4-5 at Bradley. “I think some of the girls have opportunities (to qualify for state) on a couple different events,” Lloyd-Matthews said. “It just depends who hits that day.” •The boys basketball team was seeded 16th of 26 teams for the Division II district tournament and plays 17th-seeded Sparta Highland in the first round at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at Delaware Hayes. The winner plays fifth-seeded Centennial in the second round at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25, at Lakewood. If Big Walnut advances, it likely would face fourth-seeded Canal Winchester in a district semifinal at 6 p.m. March 3 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum and top-seeded Hartley in a district final at 6 p.m. March 10 at the Fairgrounds. “The season’s been a challenge for us,” said Golden Eagles coach Mike DeLaney, whose team was 5-13 overall and had lost six in a row before concluding the regular season with games against Franklin Heights on Feb. 18 and Granville on Feb. 19. “We’re a young team and we have a chance to experience playing in the district tournament. Our goal is to get to the (Fairgrounds). Hopefully we can do that.” Highland was 8-10 after defeating Marion Elgin 47-39 on Feb. 14. Centennial improved to 14-6 with a 77-75 win over Columbus West on Feb. 15. “The kids are excited about playing Highland,” DeLaney said. “There’s a pretty good rivalry with them even though we don’t play them very often. ... (Highland is) fundamentally sound. They play the game the right way and are fairly big, so it will be a challenge for us.” DeLaney said his team will need to do better offensively if it is to put together a tournament run. “I think we’ve gotten better, but we still go through stretches where we don’t score and that puts pressure on our defense,” he said. Junior guard Tyler Beam was leading the Golden Eagles in scoring through 18 games, averaging 13.3 points. Sophomore forward Seth Myers was second, averaging 8.2 points, followed by junior guard Grant Beam (7.9), junior forward Seth Wandling (7.0) and senior forward Joel Craig (6.7). •The boys and girls swimming teams qualified in seven events for the district meet held Feb. 1819 at Ohio State. For the boys team, receiving at-large district berths after competing in the Division II sectional meet on Feb. 12 at Thomas Worthington were sophomore Carson Chatterton in the 100yard butterfly (1 minute, 1.93 seconds), the 200 freestyle relay (1:46.61) and the 400 free relay (4:06.99). Both relays were comprised of Chatterton, senior Kevin Meyer and freshmen Carter

Marsch and Joel Windle. The top three finishers in each swimming event at district automatically advance to the state meet, which will be held Thursday and Friday, Feb. 24-25, at the C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. In addition, 11 at-large state berths for each event will be awarded based on times statewide. Chatterton and the 400 free relay were seeded 24th at district and the 200 free relay was seeded 29th. “This is the first year (Marsch and Windle) have done competitive swimming,” coach Andy Chatterton said. “It’s a totally different animal to swim competitively than to swim in the pool in your backyard. You have to swim every day. ... They’ve really done a good job. “At the beginning of the year, I didn’t think we had a chance to get (the relays) to district with two rookies.” For the girls team, receiving at-large district berths after competing in the Division I sectional Feb. 12 at Thomas were senior Kelsey Peterson in the 200 free (2:09.07), the 200 medley relay (2:07.4), the 200 free relay (1:49.96) and the 400 free relay (4:06.96). All three relays were comprised of Peterson, sophomore Natalie Chatterton and freshmen Jessica Osburn and Michelle Stefaniak. The top three finishers in each event at district automatically advance to the state meet on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25-26, at the Branin Natatorium. In addition, 11 at-large state berths for each event will be awarded based on times statewide. Seeded 15th, the 200 free relay had the highest seed at district for the girls team, followed by the 400 free relay (17th), the 200 medley relay (21st) and Peterson (25th). “I’m very pleased we have all three relays going to the district meet,” coach Chatterton said. “(Osburn and Stefaniak) are new to the team, too. They sure did help out (the girls relays), just like (Marsch and Windle) did for the boys.” The boys team was one of only
