Olentangy levy/bond issue approved By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The “yes” voters came out for Olentangy schools on May 3, approving a combined 7.9-mill operating levy and $24.4 million bond issue, unofficial results from the Delaware County Board of Elections show. The levy passed 9,501 to 8,392 (53 percent “yes” votes) with all precincts reporting. “I’m very proud of the Olentangy community,” said Kristen Fenker, chair of the pro-levy campaign. “This win is a total testament to the community of Olentangy, the volunteers we have, the support we have for our schools. Everybody is proud to live here and they showed it tonight.” “It passed by about 6 percent and I would hope that it sends a message (to the administration) that people can’t afford it,” said Tracy Ruegg, spokesperson for the opposition PAC Responsible Olentangy. “Our message is that Olentangy Local School District has a spending problem …” The operating levy will cost homeowners an additional $241.94 annually per $100,000 of property value, said Shari Baker of the Delaware County auditor’s office. The average residential property value in the district is $262,759, the auditor’s office said. District officials are calling the bond issue “no new millage.” The district would restructure its current bond debt, delaying repayment of the debt, treasure Becky Jenkins has said. The levy will raise $25.2 million annually, district officials have said. Operating levies pay for the various daily expenses of running the district, including employee costs, building utilities, supBy Tim Norman/ThisWeek plies and vehicle fuel. Kristen Fenker, chair of Olentangy for Kids, celebrates after calculating the tallies from precincts in favor of the levy, as reported by runners, while The bond issue would provide $24.4 million sitting at the Delaware County Board of Elections on Tuesday night.

Preliminary County voters OK 911 operating levy campaign finance reports filed By SARAH SOLE

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Delaware County voters on May 3 warmed to a levy without a tax increase, supporting the five-year, 0.45mill renewal operating levy for the county’s 911 emergency communications system. There were 14,386 votes for the re-

newal levy and 7,957 votes against it. Sixty-four percent of voters were in favor of the levy. Residents had voted down a fiveyear 0.62-mill 911 levy in November. “We clearly understood the message from last November of no new taxes. We reduced the levy to provide for no new taxes. And I’m very pleased that the voters responded favorably to

our actions,” Delaware Emergency Communications Operations director Bob Greenlaw told ThisWeek. The levy replaces the 911 levy that will expire this year. The renewal amount means a homeowner will pay at the same rate as the expiring levy: $13.68 per $100,000 of residential valuation a year. The levy, which will raise $2.55

million annually, funds countywide 911 emergency dispatching; cell phone location service upgrades; dispatcher training for police, fire and medical responders; county, state and federal interoperable communications; and maintaining current levels of technology. Greenlaw told ThisWeek no new See 911 OPERATING, page A2

DCBDD operating levy approved By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The five-year, 2.1-mill replacement operating levy for the Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities was approved by county voters on May 3. With all precincts reporting, 13,636 voted for the levy and 9,816 voted against it. Fifty-eight percent of voters were in favor of the levy. Voters have approved every request since the levy was introduced in 1981. Each levy has been for five years. “We’re appreciative. We’ve had a long and very positive relationship with county citizens and voters,” DCBDD superintendent Robert Morgan said, adding that the board would do its part to operate the levy funds efficiently. Morgan said the current levy that will expire this year has an effective collection rate of 2.09 mills. The replacement levy means an owner of a $100,000

Final campaign finance reports for the May 3 election are due June 10 and pre-election reports were filed in April. The Delaware County Board of Elections received reports for funds raised and spent on the following issues: Olentangy Local Schools’combined tax levy and bond issue; the Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities (DCBDD) replacement tax levy, and Delaware County’s 911 tax levy renewal. No report was filed for the Genoa Township road levy renewal because no funds were taken in. For the Olentangy combined issue, two organizations filed reports: the pro-levy political action committee (PAC) Olentangy for Kids (OFK) and anti-levy PAC Responsible Olentangy Citizens. Olentangy for Kids filed two reports, one in March and another in April. The PAC remains active year-round, a representative from the Delaware County Board of Elections told ThisWeek, meaning it turns in reports and can collect contributions between elections. The last report, dated April 24, showed that OFK had $80,417 in available funds. Individual contributions came from residents and district employees in the form of cash, checks and payroll deductions from district employees. District treasurer Becky Jenkins said payroll deductions for OFK are allowed by law and ocSee PRELIMINARY, page A6

School board hears debate on levy, bond By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Olentangy school board on April 27 heard support for and opposition against the combination operating levy and no-newmillage bond issue on the May 3 ballot. Kristen Fenker, who is chairwoman of the levy campaign,

spoke in support of the issue, while resident Bud Abraham said taxes are high enough in the district. (See related story on page A1.) “We’ve had over 700 volunteers working tirelessly the past few months on this levy,” Fenker told the board. “There’s a lot of misinformation (about the levy) out there. ... I truly hope we wake up Wednesday (May 4) with a win.”

Abraham said he understands the school district has had academic success and that the proposed state budget has cuts that will hurt local districts. However, he said only two families in his Storm Haven Court neighborhood have children and costs must be contained. “We can’t keep doing this (going to the ballot),” Abraham

said. “Maybe this (election) is the referendum to start looking at the future really hard. ... I’m looking at approximately $600 a year extra. That’s 30 percent of my last annual merit increase.” Officials have said the district would make at least $4.5 million in cuts if the levy passed and could face nearly $25 million in cuts if it failed. Part of that depends on how severe state aid to the district is cut. The state legislature is currently debating Gov. John Kasich’s proand cities service fees to fund the posed two-year state budget. Superintendent Wade Lucas budget, Hansley said. Taxes could have been raised someplace else and other district officials have to foot the bill, or other budgets could have been cut. The county sheriff’s office and the county emergency medical service are the only two budgets with amounts large enough to fund county 911 services.

911 OPERATING LEVY PASSES Continued from page A1 equipment will be funded by the levy. “Status quo is what we’re funding,” he said. The department brings in about $3.6 million annually. The county 911 answers 10,000 calls for service each month, and average answer time is less than 10 seconds. The coverage area of 459 square miles has a population of 175,000. There are 24 dispatchers employed. Greenlaw said he was shocked when the November levy didn’t pass. He had been told that 911 levies always pass, but given how confused the voters were, the results weren’t surprising, he said. Gary Vest, county 911 board chairman and Powell police chief, previously told Delaware City Council that if the levy wasn’t approved, the funds would have to come from somewhere else. “This is the basic cost to sustain what we have,” Vest said. “This is the bare bones.” County administrator Tim Hansley said if the levy didn’t pass, the county would consider putting it back on the ballot in

November. “There’s no way I would recommend a penny less than we have now,” he said. “We trimmed it back to the bare minimum,” he said, saying the millage couldn’t be lower without changing the way the department is funded. The county also could have charged the villages, townships

home will pay a few cents more annually in taxes for Developmental Disabilities than the $64.26 paid last year. Developmental Disabilities serves 2,051 individuals, and Morgan said Developmental Disabilities centers on providing individual care. Morgan said individual care could be as low as $50 to $100. A maximum of $15,000 in local funding can be spent on one individual. In those instances, individuals would then utilize Medicaid waivers. Thirty-seven percent of the total budget goes toward funding local individual services and matching Medicaid waivers. Morgan said that for the past two decades, enrollment has doubled every seven to eight years. Those under age 21 account for 81 percent of current enrollment. “We’re a very young county,” Morgan said. Morgan said staff salaries of DCBDD’s 90 employees represent 22 percent of the budget. Employee benefits and payroll taxes account for 9 percent. A salary freeze took effect about 18 months ago. The top of the pay scale is no more than 30 percent above the base pay. Morgan said no staff reductions are planned at this point. “We have to deliver the services,” he said. “We can’t lay off staff and provide more services.” County auditor George Kaitsa notified Developmental Disabilities in January of a possible 5to 10-percent decline in property values for next year, Morgan said. The current levy is slated to bring in $13,352,943 in revenue for 2011.

district’s development committee, discuss how that committee will work with the superintendent’s Project 2020 committee. The development committee concentrates on facility needs, such as whether a fourth high school will be needed, while the Project 2020 committee looks at the district’s needs as a whole. The development committee will work with the Project 2020 committee on such things as studying the feasibility of current elementary, middle and high school buildings to accommodate projected enrollment growth, King said.

a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m. ty.com or call (614) 846-7673. A new beauty salon in Powell focuses on pampering patrons and engaging them in the hairstyling experience. B/rose Beauty Bar recently opened at 50 S. Liberty St., Suite 116. Owners Andi Bragg of Dublin and Rebekah Keller of Clintonville said they embrace Paul Mitchell traditions and innovations. The business is a “focus salon” for that company, carrying only Paul Mitchell products. Keller and Bragg also are national educators for Paul Mitchell, teaching continuing education classes required by the state board of cosmetology. They said their love of teaching is reflected in the services they offer. Their salon includes various stations such as a tool bar where patrons can try out hair-styling tools; a color bar where hair-color solutions are displayed and “magic bowls of color” are mixed while patrons sip tea or coffee; and a makeup bar displaying Jane Iredale skincare makeup, which consists of hypoallergenic minerals instead of talc and chemicals and provides natural, reflective sun protection, Keller said. “We do styling with knowledge. It’s built into the service,” Keller said. It helps patrons replicate at home the style they get in the salon, she said. “Our salon is focused on the experience,” Bragg said. “From the moment the client walks in the door, the experience is individualized pampering.” Bragg and Keller, with a combined 16 years in the cosmetology business, met as independent stylists in Dublin. They both attended the education program held by Paul Mitchell. Having built their individual client bases, they had wanted to open their own salons and expand their services. They decided to take the journey together. They selected Powell as the place to build their salon because they liked the high-quality mix of modern and antique atmosphere. “We looked at a couple locations and love the downtown Powell area, the antique feel and high-quality product,” Bragg said. “It fits well with our style and concept and what we’re trying to achieve,” Keller said. Their salon occupies 1,240 square feet and has brought three full-time and three part-time jobs to the area.

Just thinking

high-calorie food and sleep in a real bed, a life reduced to walking, fueling and keeping your socks dry would be MARGO a challenge for BARTLETT most of us. I’ve been interested in the AT ever since I interviewed a college student who hiked it. He recited what I’ve since realized is an AT hiker’s litany: He went through this many pairs of shoes, this many socks, and this many blisters. He carried this much weight. He hiked this many miles a day. I love fact bites like that, and I listened to him for a solid hour, asking questions like a monkey pushing the lever for more peanuts. He finally had to leave so that he could graduate from college on time, but my interest in the AT continued to percolate. In fact, hiking the Appalachian Trail is my favorite thing I’ll never do. Because although I know I might have the physical ability to climb up and down mountains for six months, I don’t want to be that rumpled; I don’t want to be that dirty; I don’t want to forget about niceties like shaving my legs and I definitely don’t want to get up every morning and go for a hike without coffee. Without coffee! The mind reels. The other day I was introduced to a couple who have explored pretty much every out-of-the-way inch of the world. They’ve climbed to an Everest base camp in Nepal; they’ve snorkeled in the Galapagos; they’ve paddled down obscure foreign rivers with guides who use them for English practice. But at day’s end, they don’t find a spot between tree roots and snakes to sleep. They stay in ho-

tels and they drink coffee before setting out on the morning’s trek. Now that’s my idea of adventure travel. Call me a wuss, but without a shower and a good breakfast that includes caffeine, my enthusiasm for hiking would run out in about six hours. Apparently, however, thousands of others feel differently about it, and they all swarmed to Georgia or Maine at the earliest possible moment to begin walking north (if in Georgia) or south (if in Maine). My cousin is doing fine so far. His days were short at first and his mileage such that he was on track to reach Maine sometime early in 2014, but as his shoulders adjusted to his 35-pound pack and his mind adjusted to life on the trail, his numbers went up. Lately, he’s been putting in 11-hour days and hiking 15 miles and change. I know all this because he’s mailing me handwritten journal entries, which I in turn post on the hikers’site www.trailjournals.com. (His wife — no friend of technology — gladly accepted my offer to take on this job.) Here is what I’ve learned so far: The AT is as crowded as Cedar Point on a warm Sunday in July; hikers love Ramen Chicken-Flavored Noodles; in at least one shelter privy, hornets have built a nest under the seat, the opening of which is the hornets’ front door. And finally, my cousin is my hero. He’s wanted to hike the AT since his father, my uncle, told him about the trail that passes through 14 states some 60 years ago, and the fact that he’s in his 70th year didn’t stop him. Whether he finishes or not doesn’t matter. What matters is this: He started. Margo Bartlett may be reached at mbartlett@thisweeknews.com.

History today

Memorial Day tradition began after the Civil War Memorial Day will be observed on May 30 this year. That is fitting since the remembrance honoring the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers was first held on May 30, 1868. It was Gen. John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic who designated the commemoraCAROLE tion “for the purpose of WILHELM strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land.” Many people remember the observance as Decoration Day. It officially became Memorial Day in 1967, and in 1971, Memorial Day became a federal holiday celebrated on the last Monday of May. On May 26, 2008, the Greater Powell Veterans Memorial was dedicated. Plans for the memorial began four years earlier after

the death of a local man who was killed in action in Iraq. Kathryn Gerke spearheaded the effort for the memorial located at the Village Green Park. Many of you gave bricks to honor family and friends who served our country. That day, three years ago, I stood in the Powell Cemetery at the Memorial Day observance thinking of the phone call we received the evening before. My

husband’s cousin’s son — David L. Leimbach — had been killed in Afghanistan. He was a young man in his late 30s who had just been married on his last leave. Initially, David served in the Marines and then the Marine Corp Reserves. However, after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on our country, he joined the 218th See MEMORIAL, page A5

The AT: I love it. Just don’t make me hike it My cousin is hiking the Appalachian Trail. He started early in March in Georgia and plans to keep going until he reaches Mount Katahdin in Maine. If you think only a few people set out to walk 2,175 miles, you’re wrong. Most of the rest of the world is out there, too, according to my cousin, who describes shelters crammed with hikers and hostels so crowded that he had to get up at 6:30 a.m. just to find an available washer and dryer. That description makes the AT sound like the New York Thruway with better food options. But while I’d sooner hike 2,200 miles than drive the New York Thruway, I’m grateful not to be doing it. I should explain that this cousin isn’t the offspring of my mother’s much younger sister; this is the older child of my mother’s older sister. He turned 69 on the trail, and the fact that someone 69 years old wants to sleep outdoors every night just to hike all day carrying the equivalent of a lumpy toddler on his back is a kind of miracle to me. Not that I just sit around. I run what even I consider to be an insane number of miles each week, and that’s on top of parking far away from a store’s entrance and not taking the elevator unless I need to know a security code at the top of the stairs, which by the way is the case in more than a few stairwells. But a willingness to move isn’t what we’re talking about here, is it? A person who hopes to thruhike the AT needs another quality above all others: desire. The desire to hike and the desire to finish. Only those dual motives will keep a person out there, day after day, week after week, month after month. Because holy-moly!

Memorial Day began after Civil War Congratulations Continued from page A4 Brigade Combat Team of the South Carolina Army National Guard so he could be deployed to Afghanistan. He had a strong desire to defend the United States and help the people of Afghanistan achieve a better life. David had been there for one year by midMay, but his energy was so focused that he volunteered to remain for a longer tour of duty, moving to a New York unit when his South Carolina unit returned home. A dedicated soldier, David was killed by hostile fire in an ambush in Southwestern Afghanistan. This Memorial Day, I would like to pay tribute to David by sharing a portion of a letter written by another cousin shortly after his death. She began with “Dear David.” She related her sense of loss, her love for him and how honored she was to call him family. She wrote about childhood memories of swimming and fishing at a lake house in backwoods Missouri and “playing endless rounds of cards with Grandma.” It is

the following that really moved me. “My last visual memory of you is from Grandma’s funeral back in 1997. I was nearly catatonic with grief most of that day, but I vividly remember you in your Marine dress blues. I remember how you stood at the rear of the chapel before the service began, your uniform arranged in perfect presentation, crisp crimson lines on deep blue, regalia placed upon your chest without a millimeter’s imprecision. You balanced your white cap with perfect symmetry on your forearm as you held the solid presence and reserve we all needed that day. “As the service began, our whole family gathered in a small room to shield us from the finality of closing Grandma’s casket. Do you remember that? As the doors to the room closed, I witnessed something I will never forget — your white-gloved hands holding the shoulders of your parents, the sound of your sobbing, your tears falling down your heroic face and landing on the tops of your impeccably shined shoes as we all mourned as a family. To anyone who says that the military turns people into sav-

age murderers, I offer this image.” During David’s time in Afghanistan, he volunteered to go on humanitarian aid missions and particularly enjoyed entertaining the children. He was known for his playful tricks and juggling, so scarves and tennis balls were sent to him so he could carry out his magic. He loved the children there. In 2009, David’s mother wrote a book, “Heart of a Warrior, Faith Lessons from a Fallen Hero,” dedicating it to him “who gave his life for freedom.” The phrase is a simple one. We’ve heard it many times. Yet when the life of someone you know is lost during a time of war, it makes you pause to think about those words and realize how appreciative you are for the sacrifices made by so many women and men. Memorial Day is meant to honor those who have fallen in service to our country. In 2000, a National Moment of Remembrance to be observed at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day was established.

curred for the first time in 2010. Matt McClellan, spokesperson for Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, said, “It is permissible for employers to allow employees to elect to have a portion of their paycheck directed toward the PAC.” A number of businesses also contributed to OFK, many of them contractors with the district. According to information from Jenkins, five of the companies donating to OFK had contracts with the district ranging from $45,000 to $1.12 million in the 2009-10 school year. OFK spent about $39,000 on its campaign, including purchases of postage; printed materials, such as signs, pamphlets and buttons; facility rental; and research services. Responsible Olentangy Citizens’report shows the PAC raised $1,073 from area residents, which came in the form of checks. It spent $699 on its campaign on items, including a checking account fee and signs. For the DCBDD replacement levy, one pro-levy PAC called Focus on Abilities filed a report. Focus on Abilities had an $18,922 balance from a previous report and claimed a total of $20,632 in available funds. For the April report, the PAC received $1,710 in the form of cash and checks donated by participants at fundraising rallies. The PAC spent almost $4,000 on campaign buttons, signs, an inflatable bounce house, balloons, yard signs and postage. Friends of Delaware 911, the PAC in support of the Delaware County 911 renewal levy raised $1,000 in the form of checks from the county’s fire chiefs association, two employees of the county and one from Delaware city. The report does not show expenses.

to pay for the district’s 16th elementary school, technology equipment, buses, capital improvement projects and textbooks. Residential property owners in the school district currently pay $1,357 per $100,000 of home value annually to the district, Shari Baker of the Delaware County auditor’s office has said. The levy-bond issue will increase that to $1,648. Officials have said passage of the district’s three-year, 7.9-mill operating levy will still mean about $9.4 million in cuts will be needed during the next three years, although academic programs will be spared. Those numbers factor in anticipated 44percent loss of state funds under the proposed state budget. Olentangy earlier had expected a 30-percent drop in state aid. The district has made about $15.7 million in cuts during the past two years. Superintendent Wade Lucas and district treasurer Becky Jenkins have said the tax issue was necessary “to maintain the current quality of education” and provide a new building necessary to address the continued growth in student population. The district currently has 15,900 students, whose population is expected to increase by 700 for the coming school year, district data show.

Historical society plans fundraiser By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Powell-Liberty Historical Society will hold its annual pancake breakfast fundraiser from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, May 7, at the Lost Shepherd restaurant, 345 W. Powell Road, in Powell. The event will occur rain or shine. Proceeds from the event benefit the society, which is the only group dedicated to preserving the history of Powell and Liberty Township, said Larry Coolidge, event organizer and society member. The event has been held for more than 20 years and typically raises about $1,000, Coolidge said. The funds will help with several society efforts, including the continued restoration of the Martin Perry house at 103 E. Olentangy St., and its operating costs.

The society also helps the city of Powell pay for Powell Cemetery upkeep, such as cleaning the grounds, restoring tombstones and rebuilding the front pillars. This year, the society has a special project. “The society plans to restore Liberty Township’s first fire truck, a 1949 Chevrolet,” Coolidge said. “We acquired this truck years ago and have now raised enough money to get this project started.” The Lost Shepherd occupies the site where Murphy’s Party Barn, Powell Speedway and the first Delaware County Fairgrounds were located. For decades, the pancake breakfast was held at those venues, Coolidge said. Coolidge encourages people to attend and support the society, noting its importance to the community.

“(The Powell-Liberty Historical Society) shows the history of the community and keeps track of generations of people that helped make this community. We do not receive public funding and events like this are where we raise our money,” Coolidge said. The breakfast costs $7 for adults and $4 for children ages 5-11. Children 4 and under eat for free. The menu is all-you-caneat pancakes; two sausages with extra links for 25 cents; milk, juice and coffee. Also scheduled is a $1 per ticket raffle with items donated from local businesses and a 50/50 drawing. The society also will join with the Southern Delaware County Realtors Association on June 15, for Realtor Care Day, to tend the Powell Cemetery, Coolidge said. For more information, call Coolidge at (614) 436-2000.

Liberty Twp. considers change to zoning procedure By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A proposed zoning code change could make it easier for the Liberty Township trustees to overturn zoning commission decisions. In the past, trustees needed a unanimous 3-0 vote to overturn or modify a zoning commission decision. The zoning commission will hold a hearing at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 11, to consider amending the township code so trustees can overrule the commission on a 2-1 vote. The commission will meet at the township hall, 7761 Liberty Road, Powell. The issue came up when township trustees were asked to overturn the commission’s recommendation to approve a rezoning

Orange-U.S. 23 studied for likely improvements By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Orange Road-U.S. Route 23 intersection might receive some major improvements during the next several years to deal with congestion and other traffic problems. In January, Orange Township trustees asked the Delaware County Engineer’s Office to study the intersection. That recent study suggests that turn lanes, both right and left, could be added on East Orange Road and a left-turn lane added on West Orange Road to ease traffic problems. “They looked at traffic flow, accidents, queuing (traffic backup) and generally what must be done to upgrade the intersection for the future,” Scott Overturf, who oversees township construction projects, told trustees at their May 2 meeting.

County engineer Chris Bauserman told ThisWeek on May 3 the study looked at safety and capacity issues. His office estimated such a project would cost about $1 million. Orange Road is a township road but the county could seek state or federal funds for part of the project. Bauserman said that intersection is rated poorly for traffic function, and could use such a facelift. If turning lanes are added, the traffic signal at the intersection would have to be modified to deal with traffic flow, he said. Trustees Rob Quigley, Jennifer Christian and Nelson Katz decided to consider a resolution at May 16 to ask the engineer’s office to proceed. Bauserman told ThisWeek that, if requested, his office would begin design work for the project and could help seek state or federal funds.

The process to secure federal funding could take up to four years, Bauserman said. Grants from the Ohio Public Works Commission could be available within two years if such a project wins state approval, he said. Also, trustees decided United Way of Delaware County could conduct its first-ever campaign among township employees. At the trustees’April 18 meeting, Brandon Feller, president of the county United Way, made a pitch for such a campaign. He also told trustees that the United Way planned to conduct similar campaigns in Liberty and Genoa townships. Employees would have the option of donating through a payroll deduction or making a onetime pledge. Pledges are voluntary. Orange trustees did not decide when to conduct such a campaign, although they generally are held

in the fall. The United Way receives about $3.3 million each year to help a variety of programs and projects in the county. Trustees also: • Decided to take a look at the township’s tree policies at the May 16 meeting. Representatives of the Wilshire Home Owners Association attended the meeting after township officials told them to stop replacing some trees in the

right of way at the entrance to the subdivision on Wilshire Boulevard. The representatives told trustees that 27 trees line the street and five are dying so they decided to replace them. They didn’t know township policy does not allow replacing trees in the right of way. • Accepted Dick Ray’s resignation as maintenance supervisor. He became facilities and

equipment supervisor on April 19 and remained at his current salary of $29.76 an hour for a 40-hour work week. • Accepted Todd Dove’s resignation as an alternate member of the township zoning commission. Dove was named last month as a regular member of that fivemember commission. Katie Stenman has been named to Dove’s alternate position.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen EXPLAINING HEARING LOSS IN CHILDREN Up to one in every 1,000 children has some kind of serious hearing loss. While approximately half of these cases can be traced to hereditary causes, parents of a child with a hearing loss and none of their own may wonder what caused their child’s hearing impairment. According to new research, the culprit may be a virus that the mother contracted while pregnant. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that infects most people at some point in their lives, but it seldom causes obvious illness. For women who are already infected when they become pregnant, the chances of infecting their unborn children are quite small; women who become infected with CMV while pregnant have a higher chance. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our experienced staff of professionals is committed to providing the highest-quality service in the prevention, assessment, and treatment of hearing disorders. Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art testing tools, allowing us to best diagnose and treat your hearing symptoms. If you or a family member are not hearing as well as you could, please call us today at 614-654-4309 to schedule a comprehensive hearing exam. On average, our patients travel 40 miles each way to save 25% to 70% on their hearing! We are located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

Delaware County examines EMS service By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Delaware County Emergency Medical Services has been an independent agency since 1978, and some think the time has come for a change in services. Delaware County has for a number of years paid the city of Delaware and Liberty Township for each emergency medical squad run made by their fire departments. That per-run payment currently is about $197, totaling about $500,000 annually to Delaware and $225,000 to Liberty. Now Genoa Township wants a

similar arrangement with the county, a request that was discussed during an April 25 meeting with county officials and city and township EMS agencies. Commissioner Dennis Stapleton, who called the meeting, said, “I’ve not seen anything on paper as to why we (make payments to Delaware and Liberty),” and he doesn’t know “if that’s economically good for the county.” Delaware city spokesman Lee Yoakum said city records suggest the contracts stem from a county half-percent sales-tax increase enacted in 1971 to fund ambulance service. The motive for the con-

tracts apparently was to compensate the municipalities that had emergency personnel, and whose citizens would pay the new tax increase. City records include a clipping dated Nov. 15, 1971, from an unidentified newspaper that said the tax hike was adopted “to finance a countywide ambulance service.” City records also include a copy of the commissioners’ resolution — also dated Nov. 15, 1971 — enacting the tax. The resolution said the tax was “for the purpose See EMS SERVICE, page B4

EMS SERVICE Continued from page B3 of providing additional general revenue” and said nothing about ambulance service. Stapleton said he didn’t see how the half-percent sales tax could be considered a designated EMS tax. “It’s not like a designated property tax,” said Stapleton, a Genoa resident. “We don’t have a designated levy for this service.” Genoa Township Fire Chief Gary Honeycutt proposed the idea of contracting with the county. He said Genoa is in the process of adding more people to its department. “We are now duplicating services, expenditures and taxes,” he said. Honeycutt said he wants to develop a funding formula that’s beneficial to the county and the agency providing the service. County EMS personnel formerly housed in Genoa Township facilities recently moved to another location in the southern part of the township. The move stemmed from the township’s addition of nine firefighters. Commissioner Tommy Thompson said Genoa residents are paying both township and county fees for safety services.

Honeycutt agreed. He said, “If we contract it, that would reduce the burden on our taxpayers.” Thompson said while Genoa decided to get its own service, the county shouldn’t ask other townships to do the same. BST&G Fire District chief Mark Almendinger said he was worried the townships would be forced into providing their own service. “If the county EMS goes away, and the sales tax is not funding it any more, I’ve got to go ask my people to pay for it,” he said. “I’m not to the point of saying that,” Thompson said. County administrator Tim Hansley told ThisWeek officials from across the county met a few months ago to discuss the possibility of hiring a consultant to conduct a study of EMS services. Delaware County would pay half of the fee, while the city of Delaware and other interested townships would pay the other half. The fee was estimated to be between $50,000 and $100,000. A subcommittee is determining the study’s scope, which Hansley said would take a couple of months. Delaware County EMS chief Rob Farmer said the study would explore how contracting with agen-

cies would work. He said the county is confident that a study would find that the countywide system is efficient and effective. “The county is not interested” in contracting with agencies in the southern part of the county, he said. “We already provide the service in a more efficient means,” he said. Farmer said that if the county were to fund southern agencies that would reduce its ability to provide service to the northern part of the county. The northern fire departments are smaller and depend entirely on the county for EMS services. Delaware city Fire Chief John Donahue, who supports a study, and said the matter would have to be brought before Delaware City Council. “We would recommend to city council that we join our fellow fire and EMS departments and Delaware County to conduct a study on how to provide the most cost effective and efficient service,” he told ThisWeek. Almendinger told ThisWeek that BST&G is not interested in funding the study. “We have a great working relationship” with the county EMS, Almendinger said, and don’t want to fund a study “for something that’s not broken.”

Zoombezi Bay adds snake slides

ThisWeek has more readers…

An anaconda and python will be added to Zoombezi Bay’s lineup of tides, rapids and twisters. Two new serpentine slides — Anaconda Falls and the Python Plunge — will snake into Zoombezi Bay when the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium water park opens later this month. “Anaconda Falls is unique and different from anything we have in Zoombezi Bay,” said John Gannon, Zoombezi Bay senior vice president. Hands-on research in Florida and Alabama went into picking the two new water rides that will serve as the first major additions to the 4-year-old park. “That was a nice day at work. We tested waterslides. It’s fun, but it’s a necessary experience because you want something that will be exciting and invigorating,” Gannon said. “We rode slides and picked the best ones.” Anaconda Falls starts in an enclosed “serpentine slide,” Gannon said. “You don’t know if you’re shifting left or right, up or down. You go through the slide and then burst into sunlight and you immediately drop down 30 feet on a steep hill and that carries you up a 30-foot incline that looks like a skateboard ramp.” After a few harrowing moments on the ramp — “There’s no lip, it looks like you could go over the side, but physics won’t allow it,” Gannon said — the riders start traveling downhill backwards and eventually land in the splash pool. The Python Plunge uses the same entry tower and starts with a downhill plunge before shooting uphill then down again. “It’s a watercoaster. It’s like a rollercoaster because you’re going uphill,” Gannon said. “This is the first one at Zoombezi Bay.” Anaconda Falls is like six other slides across the country, but according to Gannon, the Python Plunge is an original. “It’s a combination of two waterslides,” he said. “The Python Plunge doesn’t exist anywhere else.” Along with offering something new for Zoombezi Bay visitors, Gannon said, the new slides are working toward a shorter time in ride lines. “We’re excited to reduce line length at other slides,” he said. “The new slides have good capacity. A lot of people will be able to ride these in an hour’s time.” The new slithering slides will also sidle up to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. “Where they are is a strategic move to bring the waterpark closer to the zoo,” Gannon said. “You’ll be able to see these water slides from the zoo entry plaza …We hope it adds some excitement to a zoo visit. If you’re at Jungle Jack’s Landing you’ll be able to hear screams from the water park.” Bringing the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium attractions closer together will also mean a few animals at Zoombezi Bay. Six macaws will be perched at the Zoombezi Bay entrance and Gannon said from 2 to 3 p.m. every day animals will be brought to the water park that often visit the Late Show with Jack Hannah and make other appearances at schools and events around central Ohio. “We’ll have everything from flamingos walking around to penguins and cheetahs, snakes, bunnies, turtles,” he said.

All often the result of accepted “showing off” by the composer and/or performer. Montero — you may remember her performance at the Inauguration of President Obama — will perform with ProMusica Chamber Orchestra as well as a solo set Friday, May 6, as the feature piece of ProMusica’s “Rhapsody in Blue Spring Soiree.” Concert tickets are $80-$30, which includes the pre-concert reception.

An event highlight in recent years is the Friday night “worst song in the world contest,” but fun and music are the order of the day all weekend long, as festival-goers are likely to hear ’60s protest songs, Celtic tunes and old English ballads, work songs, sea shanties and all sort of rootsy tuneage.

Cuco’s Taqueria serves up unbeatable values Because today is Cinco de Mayo, why not beat the burrito-buzzsawing crowds by igniting your fiesta well before noon? I’m not talking about drinking all day long (though I’m not ruling it out, either), I’m suggesting you jump-start your morning with a zesty and stunningly cheap Mexican breakfast at Cuco’s. Most people know Cuco’s as one of the best full-service Mexican restaurants

Chilaquiles at Cuco's Taqueria.

MENU by G.A. Benton

in Columbus, and it is certainly that. But the family- and party-friendly Cuco’s serves up some unbeatable first-meal values, too. I’ll admit at first it felt a bit odd settling into a roomy booth in the modest and amusingly Mexi-kitschy Cuco’s at 9 a.m. I’m so used to digging into their fresh chips and salsa and heck-yeah margaritas (the Original, on the rocks and with half the sugar is my local benchmark) By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek that lurking over eggs and diner-style coffee

(sometimes flavored with cinnamon) almost seemed surreal. So I ordered a Vampiro cocktail to get my mind right. Made with tequila, grapefruit soda and the bracing tequila chaser called sangrita, it tastes entertainingly citrusy, spicy, sweet and tart. Anyway, sucking on that Vampiro proved to be an inspired idea. So did ordering the smorgasbord-like El Tapatio platter ($6.25). Kinda like breakfast, lunch and dinner all on a single huge plate, it’s a phenomenal deal. I got three eggs over greasy; a generous mound of addictive Mexican hash (crispy fried potato cubes blended with lots of properly fat-rendered and zingy chorizo); two terrific barbacoa tacos fashioned with soft corn tortillas wrapped around spicy, juicy and super-tender beef; and rich refried beans laced with melted cheese. Equally giddy-making in variety and size and likewise providing killer value is the hog-out ensemble called Nuevo

Cuco’s Taqueria 2162 Henderson Road, Upper Arlington 614-538-8701 cucostaqueria.com

after the eggs in the previous dish (well, plus rice and beans — don’t think you’re getting off that easy here) by ordering the good Huevos Rancheros ($5.25). In general, Chilaquiles ($5) is a clever Mexican leftovers meal made by stewing yesterday’s tortillas with condiments and other flavor enhancers. At Cuco’s, this translated into a piquant, cooked salsa verde playing off of a fresh tomato pico de gallo plus three eggs (of course), cheese and sides of those irresistible breakfast potatoes and refried beans. For something a little more unusual, but still nice, try the Oaxaqeña ($6.75). This was three ample enchiladas crammed with scrambled eggs and spuds wholly slathered in a stout black bean sauce. Like all of the breakfasts at Cuco’s, it’s an incredibly generous serving of food and flavor for a mere pittance of pesos.

Amaneser ($7). The roll call on that one went like this: • Three fried eggs (because three’s better than two, right?) enticingly simmered in a zippy ranchero sauce then winningly plopped atop fried corn tortillas • Soupy, full-flavored black beans • What the menu calls bacon or sausage but happily turned out to be more of that well-done chorizo • Two big and very nice pancakes (dessert’s too often neglected in the morning, don’t you think?) that were light, had attractively crisp exteriors, were pleasantly flavored with vanilla and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Yeah, that’s a lot of food. For a more Check out the new Columbus-area dinmodest repast, you could just call it quits ing guide at www.ColumbusCrave.com

Chefs to converge on Audubon Center for fourth Taste event

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Kevin Caskey, owner and chef of Skillet, puts raspberries on the raspberry panna cotta with lemon and rhubarb verbena. It is one of the dishes he is making for the Taste of Dine Originals event to be held May 12 at Grange Insurance Audubon Center.

Kevin Caskey can’t wait to show off his chops next week at the fourth annual Taste of Dine Originals. The chef and owner of Skillet in Schumacher Place will serve raspberry panna cotta with rhubarb and lemon verbena, along with some other creations. Caskey is among 50 chefs participating in the fourth annual event, to be held May 12 at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, 505 W. Whittier St. He said he hasn’t participated for two years and is eager to get back. “It’s good exposure for our group as a whole,” he said. “We’re all independently owned restaurants, and we’re a diverse group. And in one night you can taste not only the food offerings but understand the concept and thoughts that went into the development of the restaurants that make up our group.” The gala will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased at www.dineoriginalscolumbus.com. Some tickets might be available on the day of the event and may be purchased at the door. Proceeds benefit Dine Originals Columbus and the Buckeye Ranch, which provides mental-health treatment and alcohol and drug services for children with behavioral or psychological and substance-abuse disorders. “We’re blessed to be part of the event for four years,” said Michelle Aro, development coordinator at the Buckeye Ranch. “The partnership we’ve built with the Columbus Dine Originals group has been fantastic. They’ve been a wonderful group to work with.” The event has been moved from the Smith Bros’ Hardware Co. building downtown because it simply outgrew the space, said

Katharine Moore, executive director of the local chapter of Dine Originals. The Audubon Center, on the Whittier Peninsula, provides a modern backdrop with attractive surroundings, she said. “We thought it really complemented our messaging and mission because they are green and our members have that commonality,” Moore said. “It’s such a beautiful oasis in downtown Columbus that people don’t know about. So it’s fun for us to introduce that venue to a whole new crowd. In addition to food, more than 30 vineyards will be represented, as well as local breweries and micro distilleries. One of those is Watershed Distillery, just outside Grandview Heights. “We are excited to be a part of it,” Greg Lehman, co-founder of the company, said of the celebration. “I think it’s a good way for us to be involved locally.” A silent auction will feature cooking lessons, private dinners, special events, art and rare bottles of wine. Moore said chefs look forward to showing off their talents and mixing with the crowd. “They have fun riffing off each other,” she said. “They’re very competitive on what they put out. But they’re there to talk to their customers in a way that they just don’t have the opportunity to on a busy Saturday night.”

Chix & Fries will offer grilled chicken tenders, fried boneless tenders and chicken wings and french fries, plus four or five signature sauces and sandwiches. The restaurant should be open sometime in the fall, Mandas said.

Braves’ Perry relishes jumping By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Ryan Berkery of Olentangy slides home to score a run as Liberty catcher Dylan Yankle awaits the throw during the host Braves’ 4-1 victory on April 15. Olentangy is the unanimous top seed for the Division II district tournament and has a first-round bye.

Baseball

Braves voted district’s top seed By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Coach Steve Little grinned from ear to ear when he talked about his Olentangy High School baseball team in the preseason, and it seemed he had an inclination of what might happen on May 1 during the Division II district tournament drawing at Jonathan Alder. The Braves, 18-3 entering the tournament selection, were the unanimous selection as the top seed, receiving firstplace votes from all 24 teams. Little looked more focused than giddy

after the selection. “It’s nice to be back there on top,” said Little, whose program also was the top seed in 2006 and 2001 in Division I. “It’s nice, but we still have to win games to earn the seed.” Little selected a bracket that would send the Braves to the Dayton regional should they win a district title. The other district champion would play at Zanesville, which likely will include topranked Steubenville and fifth-ranked Zanesville. “I thought that we matched up better with teams in (the Dayton) region,” said

Little, whose team was ranked third in last week’s state poll behind Steubenville and Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit and ahead of fourth-ranked Defiance. “I think everything went as we expected.” Olentangy has a first-round bye before playing London or Eastmoor Academy on May 12. The winner plays in a district semifinal on May 17 at Hilliard Darby against ninth-seeded Hilliard Bradley, Centennial or Whitehall. The Braves were close to clinching their first OCC title since winning backto-back titles in 2006 and 2007. With a win May 3 over Westerville Central,

Olentangy would be guaranteed at least a share of the OCC-Cardinal Division championship. Before May 3, the Braves were 9-1 in the league with four games to play. Central was 6-4 and Dublin Jerome was third at 6-5. •Liberty opens Division I district play on Monday, May 9, at 12th-seeded Darby in a first-round game. The Panthers swept an April 2 doubleheader with Liberty, winning 15-2 in five innings and 10-9. See BASEBALL, page D2

When he was in the seventh grade, Olentangy High School senior Joshua Perry focused on the high jump, hurdles and sprinting events in track and field. But in the final meet of that school year, he decided to try the long jump. In his first effort, Perry broke Shanahan Middle School’s record by clearing 16 feet, 4 3/4 inches. He was hooked. Perry, who placed second in the long jump at the Division I state meet last year with a distance of 22-10, cleared 22-3 on April 29 to win the Olentangy Invitational. “I love jumping,” said Perry, who was ranked first in the event (22-11 1/2) in the May 1 Central District honor roll. “I consider myself to be explosive and that’s one place in track and field where you can show that off.” Perry also won the 110-meter hurdles in 15.2 seconds to help the Braves place first with 111 points, ahead of Pickerington North (90), Olentangy Liberty (80), Groveport (66), Hilliard Bradley (61), Olentangy Orange (50), Delaware (32) and Dublin Jerome (28). Pickerington North captured the girls title with 111 points, ahead of Olentangy (104), Bradley (93.5), Orange (82.5), Jerome (52), Liberty (40), Groveport (22), Watterson (14) and Delaware (15). The Braves’ Josh Soppe (2:03.9) and Ian McShane (2:04.4) finished first and second, respectively, in the 800 while Colin McShane was first in the 400 (50.6) and second in the 100 (11.0). Claude Mbemba won the discus (152-5) and the 3,200 relay placed first (8:30.5), while Bryce Cheek was second in the 200 (22.2). Brittney Simmons led the way for the girls team, placing first in the 300 hurdles (49.2), the 100 hurdles (15.9) and the high jump (5-2). Whitney Bice cleared 10-6 to win the pole vault and the 3,200 relay was first in 1:49.8. Perry said doing well at the meet meant a lot to him. “This is my home,” Perry said, motioning to the stadium. “I want to do the best for my team and get every first place I can get.” •Liberty distance runner Jim Pappas knows that no matter how fast he goes in the 1,600, teammate Jack Jones will be following close behind. At the Olentangy Invitational, Pappas was second (4:38.7) and Jones was third (4:43.2) behind Pickerington North’s Austin Kilgore (4:36.9). “It’s really helpful to have someone like Jack,” Pappas said. “You want him to do well, but at the same time, you want to win. We push each other a lot.” The Patriots got the majoriSee TRACK, page D3

Boys Tennis

Jerome captures first Worthington Cup title By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The champions of the Worthington Cup tennis tournament usually are the players who are strongest in all facets of their games that particular day. For Dublin Jerome High School’s Sean Stein, who won the doubles title with teammate Kent Seitz, that meant his kick serve was on target in the final on April 30 at Worthington Kilbourne. For Thomas Worthington’s Casey Cempre, who won the singles title, that meant the rediscovery of his backhand. “I’ve been really getting my kick serve in,” Stein said. “I’ve been working on that serve for the last 10 years and it’s probably the best part of my game. I can always rely on my serve.” Stein and Seitz used strong serving to defeat Gahanna’s Canyon Teague and Jesse Shivener 6-4, 6-3 to capture the doubles championship. Their title, coupled with Jerome’s Frank Kuo placing third in singles with an 8-1 win over Olentangy Liberty’s Vick Chhabria, gave the Celtics their first Worthington Cup championship. Jerome scored 15 points to finish ahead of Thomas (12), Liberty (11), Upper Arlington (11), Gahanna (8), St. Charles (7), Kilbourne (6) and

Hilliard Davidson (4). Seitz and Stein hope to follow the path of UA’s Stu Little and Billy Weldon, who won the Worthington Cup last year and went on to win Division I sectional, district and state titles. The past two years, three of the top four finishers in the Division I state doubles tournament played in the Worthington Cup. “This means a lot,” Stein said. “People were talking about whomever wins this tournament usually goes on to win state.” “It’s just good preparation all around,” Seitz said. “We know we can beat a lot of teams. We’ve gotten our confidence back.” To win the Worthington Cup title, Seitz and Stein had to hold off Teague and Shivener, who defeated UA’s Weldon and Eric Vannatta 10-6 in the first round. “It’s definitely a big step. We’ve never been invited to the Worthington Cup in my four years,” Shivener said. “For us to come in and place second in the event definitely makes a statement.” “I just think we came ready to play,” Teague said. “We’ve been talking about the Cup for a while now. It’s my first time here and my first time playing with Jesse, and beating UA was pretty big for us. We just had fun and

the event, particularly in a 6-1, 6-2 loss to Weldon during the Cardinals’ 4-1 loss to the Golden Bears on April 27. “The biggest thing was I could make my backhand,” Cempre said. “Usually my backhand is a pretty good, but the last week I have struggled with keeping my backhand in court. I think just because it’s the Worthington Cup, I played better.” Considering how well he and Weldon played together last year, Little was sort of a surprise entrant in singles. However, Little and Weldon plan on playing doubles in the postseason. Little said the Worthington Cup was a good tuneup for the OCC-Central Division tournament on Saturday, May 7, at Davidson and the postseason. “OCCs are big,” Little said. “We have a great tradition of winning the league and a lot of the top teams in our conference were here. It’s good to get a feel on how everyone is playing.” Also in singles, Kilbourne’s Brian Aguirre defeated Davidson’s Spencer Walter 9-7 for fifth and St. Charles’ Dennis Gleason defeated Gahanna’s Stephen Cheng 8-1 for seventh.

Juang defeated Davidson’s Zach Page and Greg Tiffan 8-0 to place seventh. Cempre maintained Worthington’s four-year tradition of winning the singles title of the Worthington Cup, as he defeated Little 4-6, 6-4, 10-6 in the final. Cempre said he had struggled with pbatterson@thisweeknews.com his backhand the week leading up to www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

biggest key to the success weâ€™re having.â€? On April 30, Orange beat Liberty 3-1 behind Mason Robinsonâ€™s five-hitter. Later that day, the Pioneers defeated Centerburg 13-6 as Alex Morgan pitched four innings to earn the victory in her season debut after recovering from an injury. â€œIt was nice to have Alex back out there pitching,â€? Leary said. â€œWe won our fourth consecutive game and tied our record for most wins in one season. All 13 of our kids are contributing. Abby Davidson is at the top of our order and a lot of our offense starts with her. Our catcher, Lauren Hunsinger, is calling our games along with Mason, and she and Mason are working well together.â€? The Pioneers open the Division II district tournament on Wednesday, May 11, by playing

host to Canal Winchester or Columbus East in the second round. The winner plays secondseeded Lakewood, eighth-seeded Centennial or Eastmoor Academy in a district semifinal on May 16 at Pickerington North. Orange lost to fourth-seeded Granville 5-0 in the second round of the district tournament a year ago. â€œOur big goal is to ... get to the district semifinals for the first time, because itâ€™s an awesome experience,â€? Leary said. â€œThe girls are playing with a lot of confidence right now, and weâ€™ve hit the ball pretty well. But in the end, you win games with pitching and defense, and weâ€™ll need to do well in those areas to advance in the tournament.â€? ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Andrew Johnson placed first in the 3,200 (10:07.5), Chris Uhle won the pole vault (16-0) and Grant Cartwright was first in the shot put (48-11 1/4) and second in the discus (143-9). The girls team didnâ€™t have any first- or second-place finishers. Pappas thought the meet was a perfect springboard for the OCC-Cardinal meet on May 12 and 14 at Pickerington North. â€œIn the future Iâ€™m going to just concentrate on the mile and I wonâ€™t have to worry about doing anything before it,â€? Pappas said. â€œIn that last lap, you start to feel (the effects) of running the 800 earlier in the day. â€œMy goal is to break the 4:30 mark, something Iâ€™ve been trying to do since my freshman year. It will be difficult, but I think it is something that is definitely attainable.â€? â€˘The Orange girls team went home from the Olentangy Invitational with mostly silver medals.

steal with two outs. Flanagan then recorded three outs to complete a three-hitter. Two days later, Liberty bounced back from its loss to Orange to beat Centerburg 7-1 later that afternoon, as Sarah Drosos had four RBI and Worth earned the victory in the circle. â€œOur pitching is settling in and our defense is gradually getting better,â€? Lee said. â€œWesterville North beat us by eight runs at our place two weeks earlier, so that game was a big turnaround. I hope thatâ€™s a sign of how much weâ€™ve improved. Those games definitely are a big confidence booster going into the tournament.â€? The Patriots open the Division I district tournament on Tuesday, May 10, by playing host to Dublin Coffman. The winner plays at Grove City on May 12. Last year, Liberty lost to Hilliard Davidson 2-1 in a district semifinal. â€œFor us to win in the tournament, our pitchers need to stay focused and throw well,â€? Lee said. â€œWe also need to bunt the ball much better. Iâ€™m pleased with the way our pitching is coming along. Now, both of our pitchers are completing games, where we had to use them both to get through most of our early games.â€? â€˘Orange went 4-1 last week, rallying to win two OCC-Capital games. On April 27, the Pioneers came back from a 3-0 deficit to defeat New Albany 6-3. Orange then rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat Watkins Memorial 6-2 the following day. â€œWeâ€™ve been working on fundamentals such as base running and itâ€™s paying off for us,â€? coach Bruce Leary said. â€œThe biggest change is weâ€™re playing more consistent defense.

Commentary

New Albany’s Cordell takes aim at state record in 800 For an athlete who didn’t like running when she started competitively at age 9, Taneisha Cordell has developed into an elite competitor. The New Albany High School senior, who will run track at the University of Miami (Fla.) beginning next year, has the fastest area time to this point in the season in both the 400 meters and her specialty, the 800. She had the fourth-fastest time in the country in the 800 in the winter indoor season and, after finishing fourth in the Division I state meet as a freshman, she won the 800 as a sophomore at Reynoldsburg before transferring to New Albany. Cordell also won the 800 at the USA Track & Field national meet last summer in Sacramento, Calif. Talk about credentials. “My mom got me into running when I was in elementary school and I really wasn’t very good and I was a bas-

ketball girl so I wasn’t even really interested,” Cordell said. “Through lots of hard work and dedication and lots of support from my teammates, my family and my coaches, LARRY Denny Hammond at LARSON Rey-noldsburg and Otis Winston here at New Albany, I have been fortunate to be successful. Like lots of athletes, I owe so much to so many people and right now I owe so much to coach Winston. He has definitely been a major factor in my life and we have a great relationship.” Even though Cordell has been sensational this spring in the 400, her specialty still is the 800. She loves the challenge of that event.

“The 800 isn’t too short and it isn’t too long,” Cordell said. “I look at that race as a measuring stick for toughness. Anyone can sprint, but in the 800 it becomes which runner is the gutsiest in the last part of the race and who can finish at the fastest pace. “Like most young runners, I started as a sprinter at Reynoldsburg Junior High, but at the end of my seventhgrade year I began running the 800 and have never stopped. When I finished fourth in the state as a freshman it boosted my confidence, and winning the event the next year was the most exciting sports moment of my life because I was part of a state championship team at Reynoldsburg and it was the end of an amazing season. “Last year was a major disappointment at the state championship meet. I had illnesses with a sinus infection last spring and my confidence was

down when I ran in the 800 final. Then I fell with about 150 yards left in the race and didn’t finish, which makes me more determined than ever to get my title back this year. I think about it all the time.” Cordell not only wants to win the 800 state title, she wants to do it in convincing fashion. “Not only do I want to get my 800 title back, I want to do it by demolishing the state record,” she said. “I want to get to 2:08 or better and that pushes me all the time in practice, and what will probably determine my success will be my mental attitude. When I go into big races, I tell myself that I can achieve my best, and when I won in California at the nationals last summer, it felt amazing and I strive to achieve that feeling again. “I have grown to really love track. I love the freedom you get when you are

out on the track. It is so much about you and how you have trained and how you have used the support you have received. Running is fun and what a chance it has given me to meet people all over the world. It has opened so many doors for me and it has given me the confidence I need to do well in life. Through sports you learn to not get discouraged and to use anything negative that happens for motivation to get better. I love to race and have great respect for everyone that competes with me.” Those who have watched Cordell run this year can tell you that she has plenty of competition — it’s just usually running behind her. I’ll see you at a meet. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

AEP is proposing to build the Vassell Substation on a property in eastern Delaware County, about one mile east of Sunbury, Ohio, and south of East State Route 37. The project is an approximate $239 million investment by AEP into the central Ohio economy. The project will provide approximately 165 construction jobs at peak construction. The new transmission substation will enhance service reliability and provide capacity for economic growth in the area. In conjunction with this reinforcement project, additional improvements are planned for existing facilities that feed this system. AEP Ohio studies indicate that without this reinforcement plan, the performance of the company’s transmission system will be inadequate to provide the level of service that its customers expect. The Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) is responsible for reviewing information related to the project — including input from the public — and determining whether the proposed project should be approved.

Additional information about this project can be found online at AEPOhio.com/go/vassell. Interested parties also may request information or comment about the project by dialing AEP Ohio’s Transmission Project Information Line at 614-883-6929.

AEP plans to file its formal application for the transmission substation siting with the OPSB in May. If the application is approved, construction of the substation could begin in spring 2012 and would be targeted for completion in June 2014.

LOCAL DOCTOR OFFERS NEW HOPE FOR MIGRAINE AND HEADACHE SUFFERERS Dear Friend, Have you ever wondered why 1 out of every 2 people suffer from recurring headaches?You yourself may be a victim of chronic migraines or headaches and think that they are “normal” or that “you’ll just have to learn to live with them”. HEADACHES: Your Body Out of Balance Headaches are a distress signal, your body telling you something is out of balance. While pain relievers may temporarily turn off the alarm switch, they don’t put out the fire. In essence, they seldom correct the CAUSE of the problem and also produce dependency and dangerous side effects. Fortunately, many types of headaches and even migraines can now be RELIEVED or even ELIMINATED through a chiropractic procedure known as the Atlas Orthogonal Procedure. It does not use manipulation or twisting of the head or neck. The Atlas Orthogonal procedure has been endorsed by talk show host Montel Williams and was also highlighted by the daytime talk show “The Doctors.” Go to the official Atlas Orthogonal website www.globalao.com to see these videos. Anatomy of a Headache Recent research indicates that migraines and severe headaches cause minute but cumulative damage to the brain. Pain killers do nothing to stop this damage. However, the cause of many migraines and headaches is just below the head, at the top bone in the neck. This bone can get pushed out of alignment by falls or injury. Misalignments in this region cause irritation to nerves, blood vessels and muscles that can lead to “relentless, painful and throbbing headache.”

At the Pain Clinic of Lewis Center, we provide total wellness care for migraines and headaches without using dangerous drugs or painkillers”. As a way to introduce my new Lewis Center location, I’ve created HEADACHE AWARENESS WEEK., in order to offer hope to those suffering from migraines and headaches. I’ve helped hundreds of people feel better and live healthier, more productive lives. So, if you’ve always wondered if there was an effective alternative to prescription drugs for your chronic migraines headaches, now is the best time to find out because . . .

From May 9th to May 12th, $20 will get you all of the services that I normally charge $220 or more for a new patient exam, during Headache Awareness Week! What does this offer include? Everything to make an accurate diagnosis and recommendations for your headache conditions… • An in-depth health consultation and health history • An examination directed at finding the cause of your headaches • X-rays, if necessary, to determine if a misalignment in your neck is causing your migraines or headaches. • An analysis of your X-rays and exam results so we can see what needs to be done to help relieve your migraines or headaches • Answers to all your most probing questions about our specialized procedure and what it can do for you… The appointment doesn’t take long at all. In most

instances, the evaluation appointment can take less than 30 minutes. Now, as part of this one-time offer, you can come in and find out for certain if you need the specific chiropractic care offered here and whether it can help you eliminate the painful condition you’re suffering from. Uniquely Qualified

Dr. John Ellwood, D.C., B.C.A.O., is the only doctor in Columbus, Ohio who is board certified to perform the atlas orthogonal procedure. Over the last 10 years, Dr. Ellwood has helped hundreds of people make the switch from living a life confined by their pain to living life free from pain. Does the Atlas Orthogonal Procedure Really Help Alleviate the Pain of Migraines and Headaches? Absolutely! Read for yourself the stories of patients as they tell in their own words what this ground breaking procedure has done for them. Patient Success Stories I suffered from severe chronic headaches for 25 years (on a daily basis for the last 12 years). I saw many doctors for my condition. I was prescribed Fiorinal to help me cope with this debilitating headache pain, anti-depressant medication Zoloft, and Xanax, because being in pain every day was wearing down my spirits, and finally Zantac, anti ulcer medicine, because the other medications were really

upsetting my stomach. I even received botox injections to try to relieve pain, but nothing really helped. I had to take matters into my own hands, and began to research migraine treatments. While searching on the internet I found out about how an upper cervical problem could be the real cause of migraines. Then I discovered that Dr. Ellwood’s practice specialized in correcting these conditions using the Atlas Orthogonal procedure. I made an appointment with Dr. Ellwood and found out that I had a misalignment in my upper neck and that it could be treated. What I liked most about the care is that it worked! The results have been great. I definitely recommend Dr. Ellwood. Sincerely Brenda Sprague Before coming in I had headaches every single day. I lived on Excedrin! I had a pain in the back of my neck that never went away, no matter what medication I took. I also had severe back and shoulder pain, tightness, and fatigue. I also experienced “brain fog” where I just had a foggy feeling. I also had approx.. 2-3 migraines a month. After treatment, my daily headaches are gone! No more Excedrin! The neck pain is gone and I’ve not had a single migraine. My back pain is so much improved that it has stopped limiting my daily activities. I also feel much clearer-no more brain fog. I am truly amazed, and my quality of life and outlook is so much better. Thank you so much!! Gina Kron Our son Jonathon suffered from such bad migraines and was in pain so often that we were desperate to find a

solution. His frequent migraines would always include a trip to the E.R., where he would be hooked up to an I.V. to help control the pain.

may be affecting your: • Job Performance • Personal Relationship with Others • Recreational Activities

He was forced to live a life that included taking three prescriptions to control the pain, but he wasn’t able to live the life of a normal 10 year old, and I cried a lot in those days.

Don’t wait... Rely on my expertise to help you find a solution to your health problems. To get the answers, call my office and set up an appointment for my Headache Awareness Week. Then, just give me 1 day to analyze your tests, and on the following day, I’ll tell you what needs to be done to help you with your problems.

When I brought Jonathon to see Dr. Ellwood, I knew we were in the right place. The staff was friendly and reassuring. Within a week after the first few treatments we began to notice a difference in our son. He began to have less fatigue, it was like he was coming back to life. During the first few months of care, his migraines began to be less frequent and when he did have one, it was much milder and did not require a trip to the E.R. It has now been 4 years since we started with Dr. Ellwood, and Jonathon is now a happy normal teenager. He is no longer on medications or any kind of treatment! Now he plays football, guitar, and laughs a lot, and no longer has migraines. Thank you Dr. Ellwood. Sincerely, Annette and David Jones Limited Time Offer! Obviously with an offer like this, I can’t afford to do it for very long. So we picked the week of May 9th-12th to hold this special “Migraine and Headache Clinic” Don’t numb it…fix it!

Choral group’s artistic director moving away By KEVIN PARKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A series of concerts by the Magpie Consort will be the swan song, almost, for the 20-voice choral ensemble’s artistic director. Clintonville resident Sheena Phillips, who came to Columbus from her native Scotland in January 2000 when husband Christopher H. Brew became an assistant professor at Ohio State University, will be moving to the Princeton, N.J., area this summer where Brew has landed another position that’s too good to pass up. Leaving will be a bittersweet experience, Phillips admitted last week. “It will be a huge wrench to leave all the groups that I’m involved in,” she said. This will be especially true when it comes to the “Magpies,” as members of the a cappella group,

who come from Clintonville, Worthington, Dublin, Hilliard, Old Town East, Westerville, Lewis Center and Galloway, call themselves. Phillips said that her involvement with the group has enabled her to stake the unlikely claim of having made a career of choral music in Columbus. She’s scheduled to direct the singing group, titled “The Garden” and debuting for the public on Saturday, May 7. “Our spring program celebrates birds, flowers and springtime, with a joyful mix of madrigals and lute songs, quiet and rowdy folk song arrangements, medieval spring songs, Janequin’s delightful ‘Le Chant des Oiseaux (Birdsong),’ Japanese poetry and songs about bees, clouds and magpies,” according to the consort’s announcement. Guests participating in the con-

certs will include Eugene Braig on guitar, Jeff White on percussion and dancer Meghan Western. “The Garden” will be performed at four venues in Columbus, beginning at 8 p.m. on May 7 at Maynard Avenue United Methodist Church, 2350 Indianola Ave. On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8, there will be a 2 p.m. performance in the Franklin Park Conservatory, 1777 E. Broad St. St. Leo Church, 221 Hanford St., will be the venue for the 8 p.m. performance on Saturday, May 14. Finally, the spring series concludes on Sunday, May 15, at 4 p.m. in Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1555 S. James Road. The suggested donation for those attending is $10, with the exception of the May 8 performance, which is free with admission to the Conservancy. For information, visit www.magpieconsort.org.
