Parks committee

Sunbury considers gazebo proposal By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Sunbury Village Council’s parks committee is thinking about putting a gazebo on the village square. Sunbury resident Lanny George presented the idea to committee members, who discussed it during the May 5 council meeting. George mentioned a gaze-

bo produced by Lux Craft in Mansfield, 24 feet in diameter with a floor three feet off of the ground. The model is priced at $30,910 and is made of treated wood and vinyl. George told ThisWeek he envisions the gazebo at the northwest corner of the village square, at the corner of Columbus and East Cherry streets. At this location, the gazebo would be visible to

those entering the village. “I think the community needs something like this. All I was doing was planting a seed,” George told ThisWeek. Council member Sean Currie, co-chair of the parks committee, said the proposed project is in its “infant stages,” and the parks committee would maintain contact with George. Council member Thomas Zalewski

said he thinks the gazebo is a good idea. Council member David Linnabary said it would solve the problem of seating on the square. Council members discussed possible fundraising efforts for the gazebo. Village administrator Dave Martin told ThisWeek the village might have the money to pay for a gazebo. Alternatively, a gazebo could be funded by outside

Developmental Disabilities operating levy approved

By SARAH SOLE Delaware County voters on May 3 warmed to a levy without a tax increase, supporting the fiveyear, 0.45-mill renewal operating levy for the county’s 911 emergency communications system. A total of 14,386 votes were for the renewal levy and 7,957 were against it. Sixty-four percent of voters were in favor of the levy. Residents had voted down a five-year 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. “We had a nice margin and I appreciate the help we got from the people that supported us,” Greenlaw said. The levy will replace 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 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

companies and organizations. The village and outside contributors also could collaboratively fund the project. The village can spend up to $25,000 without seeking bids. Martin said the village square has about eight or nine benches. “I think it would be a good addition to the square,”

Janet MacKenzie, president of the Big Walnut Area Historical Society, offers treats to those attending a mother-daughter tea party May 1 at Myers Inn Museum, 45 S. Columbus St., in Sunbury. At the table are Laura Mayner (bottom right) and her daughters, 6-year-old Mara (center, left) and 9-year-old Lyla (center, right), and Mayner’s niece, Laura Strohl (top, right). Myers Inn Museum curator Polly Horn said the tea was started last year. Each tea has a different theme. At this program, Mary Daugherty gave a presentation about the attitudes that certain hats can convey throughout a person’s life. Teas also are scheduled for June 26 and July 24. Reservations are required and can be made by calling Alice Chapan at (740) 9651942.

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. DCBDD superintendent Robert Morgan said the levy approval illustrates 25 years of community support. “We certainly appreciate that and feel valued by it,” he said, saying the board is proud of Delaware County. The 58-percent approval rating is consistent with past results. In 2006 the levy was approved by 60.6 percent, and in 2001 it was approved by 59 percent, Morgan said. “We’re appreciative. We’ve had a long and very positive relationship with county citizens and voters,” 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 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. Morgan said Developmental Disabilities centers on providing individual care, which 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.

Committee considers gazebo proposal Continued from page A1 he said. Martin said a smaller gazebo is on the square’s southwest corner. That gazebo was built by the local Rotary Club as a memorial to Toshi Takehashi, a Japanese exchange student who died after his bicycle was hit by a car on Mother’s Day, 1987. Martin said he doesn’t think the older gazebo would be torn down if a larger one was built.

Council also said Sunbury is applying to Delaware County for about $25,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds. The money will be used to put in curb ramps in sidewalks north of the town square in between Harrison and Cherry streets and Otis and North Vernon streets. The ramps would make the sidewalks accessible by those with disabilities. ssole@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

COUNTY 911 LEVY APPROVED Continued from page A1 month, and average answer time is less than 10 seconds. The coverage area of 459 square miles has a population of 175,000. 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 and cities service fees to fund the budget, Hansley said. Taxes could have been raised someplace else 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. The worst-case scenario, Hansley said, would have been if the county would have had to end 911 service completely, leaving the cities, villages and townships to fund their own services. Hansley said this scenario would’ve been “at a much higher cost,” since each entity could potentially have its own service. “There’s no obligation for the county to be in the 911 business,” he said. Even with the levy, however, Greenlaw said the service faces a shortage of about $1 million per year. The difference would have to come out of the county’s gen-

eral fund. “It’s the commissioners’ decision,” Greenlaw said. Greenlaw said staff wouldn’t be cut to make up the budget shortage, since that would affect response time. The department recently hired replacement staffers to reduce recurring overtime. The department is authorized to have 24 telecommunicators, and currently has 19. Four individuals are now in training and will be ready to assume full responsibilities by mid-July, bringing the full-time staff up to 23. Greenlaw said he also will hire four part-time positions to fill in when necessary. He estimates the savings to be about $60,000 to $65,000 per year. Budget discussion will begin this fall. Hansley said the county probably will look at setting aside funding each year for 911 services, reallocating money from the general fund. Still, the county would have to take into account state cutbacks. Within three years, the local government fund will be down $1 million.

Tire Discounters to open Delaware city location By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tire Discounters, a Cincinnatibased retail tire store and automotive service station, plans to open a store in Delaware. The store will create 10 fulltime jobs and will be on the north side of U.S. Route 36, between Aldi Food Market and Delaware Marathon Mart & Car Wash. David Efland, city director of planning and community development, said the store will be the last development in the Quinn’s Crossing retail center. “I believe this shows the overall strength of the marketplace in

the city of Delaware, even in difficult economic times,” Efland said. U.S. 36 east on the city’s east side is particularly viable, he said. “Tire Discounters is a good business to welcome into our city,” he said. David Wilson, general counsel for Tire Discounters, said he hopes to get the building permit and start construction in early June. It would take about three to four months until the building is ready for business. The store will cover 8,215 square feet and will sit on two acres. Wilson said the store will be the northernmost of Tire Dis-

counters’ current 63 locations, and also the largest. The typical store is 7,200 square feet. The extra 1,015 square feet will provide extra storage space and 10 service bays instead of the typical eight. While most stores receive deliveries daily, this store might take deliveries every other day, Wilson said. The company has been expanding around Columbus, opening a store in Heath in November and a store in Marysville in February 2009. “Both of these stores have done very well,” Wilson said, and he hopes for the same success in Delaware.

Commentary & opinion Walk in the park

Use blinds to sneak a peek at wildlife During vacations to Wisconsin’s northern forests, watching wildlife was one of my favorite things to do. I would try to stay very still as a couple of whitetailed deer walked to the lake for water early in the morning, or headed to the salt lick in the woods behind our cabin. But it seemed I could never be still enough. With the slightest noise, the deer would lift their heads in alarm, and spotting movement close by, they would turn and leap quickly out of sight into the woods. That’s the trouble with wildlife. Spotting a large moving object sends them into flight mode. Obviously, that instinct is crucial for their survival, but it’s frustrating for people wanting to watch them. Wildlife blinds take some of that “startle” factor away. A blind is a structure that hides people from view, so that birds and other wildlife are not spooked. Preservation Parks has three wildlife blinds, including a new one at Char-Mar Ridge Preserve. All three are set up along ponds, so that park visitors can watch the water fowl and other birds and animals come and go. I often walk to the blind at Hogback Ridge Preserve, and on one of the rare dry days this spring, I

visited Deer Haven and Char-Mar Ridge preserves to see what I could see on the ponds. The blind at Deer Haven is a simple wall with openings through which visitors can peer. I might have made a little too much noise walking through dry leaves, beSUE cause a mallard took flight from the pond just as I put my eyes to HAGAN the opening. At least I think it was a mallard; it took off pretty quickly. Two light-colored water birds were swimming at the far end of the pond, but I’d forgotten my binoculars and I could not tell what they were. They didn’t swim closer, so I had to be content with watching birds fly overhead and noticing the pretty reflections of spring-blossomed trees; they looked like melting watercolors in the water. The wildlife blind at Char-Mar Ridge Preserve is a more elaborate three-sided structure, perched at the top of a staircase that leads up a steep hill. A roof is planned, but had not yet been added at the See A WALK IN THE PARK, page A5

Calling all mothers on Mother’s Day: Now what? The Home You Want.. Where You Want It

I’ve never been sure what to make of Mother’s Day. It doesn’t feel like a real holiday, for one thing. With the obvious exception of Easter, any holiday that always falls on a Sunday and therefore never offers anyone a day off is just pretending to be official, the way that chips made with vegetables are just pretending to be junk food. To be fair, I’ve never known what to make of Father’s Day, either. Father’s Day has always been especially perplexing, in fact, because I grew up in a home without a father. When we made Father’s Day cards during the last days of the school year, no special arrangements were made for those of us who had no father. Nobody suggested making a “Happy Parent or Guardian Day” card, or let us draw a picture of a broken home instead. More than once my sister and I came home with Happy Father’s Day cards for my mother, who wasn’t the kind of woman who talked about being both mother and father to us. She couldn’t be father and she wasn’t going to try, she said. Over the years the three of us worked up fairly hilarious comedy sketches having to do with forced Father’s Day card-making and related issues. I for one was sure I had missed nothing really important during my fatherless upbringing, and it wasn’t until I watched my own daughters with their father that I began to suspect I was wrong. But about Mother’s Day. I’ve always assumed that Mother’s Day founder Anna Jarvis was, if you’ll excuse the expression, a flake. Who but a flake would propose making mother appreciation a holiday? Not that people didn’t appreciate their mothers. They just didn’t dream of going that extra step, any more than they dreamed of asking Congress to make snickerdoodles the national cookie. It occurs to me, though, that perhaps Jarvis wasn’t such a screwball after all. She might have been the sharpest young woman of her age. Because think about it: Sunday was a holiday for men and children, but did women have it off? Puh-lease. They still pumped the

water, hauled stove wood, caught and fricasseed a chicken or two and gave birth to a couple of babies, all MARGO while not BARTLETT missing church. Thank heaven for Anna Jarvis, for giving us a few hours of rest. I happen to know — as anyone with Google and a couple of fingers to type with could find out — that Anna Jarvis never was a mother herself. She campaigned for Mother’s Day on behalf of her own mother, who had mentioned the idea when Anna was only 12. Her mother had come to school for some reason — probably because it was her day to be the Lunchroom Mommy — and while there she said this: “I hope that someone, sometime, will found a memorial mother’s day commemorating her for the matchless service she renders to humanity in every field of life. She is entitled to it.” How little Anna remembered that word for word I can’t imagine, but the Internet says she did, and we all know how reliable the Internet is when it comes to facts. She remembered it and she devoted a good chunk of her life toward making Mother’s Day a real holiday.

Which just goes to show what a noble mother she would have been, because she had all the necessary qualities: Faith, selflessness, dedication, a transcendent love and no real interest in getting a life. But back to my point, or at least to the general area of my point. I’ve never known what to do with Mother’s Day. I hoped to find clarity when I became a mother myself, but as it happened it was the 1970s, when all the social conventions were tossed out or reinvented ironically. High schools either didn’t have senior proms, citing a lack of interest, or students elected a cow senior prom queen. People celebrated earth mothers or the Mother Earth News or Mother Jones, but Mother’s Day had all but fallen off the radar. Now it’s back, and I still don’t know what to do with it. But it’s not my decision, right? When it comes right down to it, that’s the real blessing of Mother’s Day: Someone else makes the plans. Thank you, Anna Jarvis and Anna Jarvis’s mother. And while I’m at the podium, I’d also like to thank my own mother for not trying to be my own father, too. Who needs a father? Not me, until my own daughters turned my husband into a dad and me into a believer. Amen.

Local student honored with Jefferson Award A WALK IN THE PARK By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When some boys his age might not have had many aspirations beyond watching Sesame Street, 6-year-old Hunter Frey was donating marshmallows to children in Russia. At age 7, he started giving gently used toys and candy to children in the Central African Republic. Now 13, Frey is a recent recipient of a 2011 Jefferson Award. The awards are given to volunteers who improve the quality of life in central Ohio. The Ashley resident expanded his donations from the Central African Republic to several other countries including Afghanistan, Ecuador, El Salvador, Trinidad, Uganda, Guatemala, the Philippines and Sierra Leone. He’s also donated locally to the Common Ground Free Store, Family Promise of Delaware County, Delaware County Foster Care and Grace Clinic. At their May 2 meeting, the Delaware County commissioners honored Frey as a recipient of the award. Commissioner Tommy Thompson said the public needs to know that there are “some real fine young people out there.” Much of Frey’s motivation for donating to

Russia,Africa and elsewhere came from imagining how the children would feel. “I try and put myself kind of like in their shoes,” Frey said. Frey started donating in Africa after hearing from a family friend who volunteered there. Though gifts were being given to sponsored orphans, Frey was concerned that not all the orphans were receiving gifts. For his first donation, Frey sent 20 of his Beanie Babies to orphans there. Frey’s mother, Robin Frey, said she’s amazed by how his efforts have grown. “He’s not afraid to keep doing it,” she said. Frey works with his church, Delaware Grace Brethren, and other local organizations, holding fundraisers to collect gently new and used items to donate and also to raise money for shipping fees. He usually sends a box per week to various locations, working with Samaritan’s Purse, Compassion International and the U.S. Army. He also donates money to Integrated Community Development International, a nonprofit organization that fights poverty in the Central African Republic and other surrounding countries. In 2007, Frey and his family began spon-

soring an orphan named Cedric in Africa through the organization Vision Trust. Through fundraising, Frey, his mother and three other people from his church went to Bangui, the Central African Republic’s capital city, in 2008. They stayed there for three weeks, delivering toys to orphan care groups. He and others worked with more than 500 orphans in that three weeks, delivering 16 trunks full of toys and candy. Frey had thought he would find sadness there, but instead found the opposite. “They live with what they have and make joy out of what they have,” he said of the people he saw. During the trip, he met Cedric and his siblings, Paterne and Berenice, and decided to sponsore them, too. Cedric was 12 at the time, Paterne was 13 and Berenice was 6. Although they didn’t have a language in common, Frey and the other children found ways to communicate, playing football and traditional games. “I wanted to stay there longer,” Frey said. A student at Big Walnut Middle School, Frey will start at Big Walnut High School next school year, where he will participate in Air Force Junior ROTC.

WORLD-CLASS.

Continued from page A4 time of my visit. I had stopped to pick up my binoculars along the way to CharMar, and was glad I did; the pond was busy with ducks, geese and turtles. Two pairs of Canada geese waddled along the shoreline, and dozens of painted turtles were lined up on a couple of logs. Lots of birds flew among the trees, voicing their varied calls and songs. But my favorites were a pair of wood ducks – the male with his distinctive green/ maroon/black/cream markings, and the drabber female with the bright white patch around her eye. The two swam side by side from one side of the pond to the other, stepping onto a log at one point, and continuing their swim until out of sight, perhaps to their nesting location.

Wood ducks are my favorites, and not only because the drake is one of the most beautiful birds I’ve ever seen, but because they are a conservation success story. Wood ducks were nearly wiped out in the early 1900s, but protection of their habitat, strict enforcement of hunting regulations and erection of nest boxes helped save these birds. Herons were not in evidence during my visit, but if you visit the Char-Mar Ridge Preserve pond, you also are likely to them, along with belted kingfishers, red-bellied woodpeckers, Eastern kingbirds, tree swallows and Louisiana water thrush, especially if you visit early in the morning or close to sunset.

BW lunches planned a year in advance By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Though the current school is still in session, the Big Walnut schools food service is busy planning for 2011-12 lunches. Planning begins as early as February when the district receives federal funds to reserve food for the coming year. “We receive about $53,926 based on the number of lunches we sell, to spend,” said Cassy Sabatini, food service director since August 2010. She served as the head cook at the high school for about six years prior. The district works with DJ Coops out of California and typically spends the federal funds to reserve a year’s worth of protein foods, such as peanut butter, meat and cheese from various food processors, such as Smucker’s

and Tyson. For instance, Sabatini will request a hold on $10,000 worth of “hard product” or raw chicken from Tyson which she can have processed into chicken nuggets or patties throughout the year. “If I need this many pounds of processed chicken, then I need this many more in raw or hard product,” she said. The food co-ops the district works with provide yearlong guaranteed prices for items. Perishable items, such as bread and fresh fruit and vegetables are purchased locally and delivered twice weekly. The process is a bit complicated because Sabatini and her staff not only cook and serve the food daily, but also plan the menus, in advance, staying within state and federal nutritional requirements.

“We are on a traditional menu with five components – bread, meat or meat substitute, fruit, vegetable and milk,” Sabatini said. For a number of years the district’s food service has been selfsustaining, meaning that it is not subsidized with funds from the district’s general operating funds. The district served 248,851 lunches in the 2009-10 school year. It also served 41,127 breakfasts at two buildings: the high school and Souders Elementary School. Free grab-and-go breakfasts are available at Souders. About 29 percent of the district’s students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. The district receives federal reimbursement for lunches and breakfasts it serves. The federal government pays 26 cents per breakfast or lunch for students who pay full price,

$1.18 for each reduced-pay breakfasts and $2.32 for each reducedpay lunch. For each free breakfast and lunch, it pays $1.48 and $2.72 respectively. In 2009-10, the district received $274,487 in reimbursement from the federal government. That school year, the service brought in $1,058,663 in total revenue, including the federal reimbursement, $783,903 in cashregister sales and $273 from the high school vending machine. This amount does not include the $53,926 from the federal government’s February disbursement to the district’s co-op account. The district charges $2.25 for lunch at the elementary schools and $2.50 at the middle and high schools. Breakfast at the high school costs $2 for full pay and 30 cents for reduced price. Sabatini said selling a la carte

ployees, 13 part-time and 10 fulltime positions. The current school year will be less because last year included expenses that won’t occur this year. They include $25,000 of the salary for director of operations, a position that was eliminated, and the payout of sick time for the previous food service director. The district spent $437,665 on food and paper products, not including the $53,926 of funds it receives each February. It also spent $34,971 on repairing, maintaining or replacing the service’s equipment. Such equipment includes freezes and coolers, warming ovens, cooking ovens and stove tops, and dishwashing machines. It also paid $1,428 in dues and fees, such as for certificates from the health department and co-op memberships.

items at the middle and high schools helps keep the food service self-sustaining. The service had a fund carryover balance of $191,404, after a number of years of finishing in the black. She worries, however, about proposed federal requirements that would require the service to provide whole-grain foods, orange and green vegetables and low-fat choices. Those rules would increase costs. The government also is considering limiting what a la carte items can be offered. “I think it’s the right direction to go, but for instance, a grilled chicken breast costs more than a breaded one,” Sabatini said. For the 2009-10 school year the total expenditures for the department were $1,010,337. Of that amount, $536,273 was for salaries and benefits for 24 em-

So every year she would er’s diagnosis and her higher risk. mother’s diagnosis Elizabeth was 25-

“Every year before my screening, I would simply change the date on the appeal letter I sent the year before as I expected the insurance company would deny payment for my mammogram,” Elizabeth said. For Elizabeth, her annual encounter with the red tape was worthwhile as the screenings gave her knowledge and peace of mind. A couple years ago Elizabeth began working contract jobs and found herself unable to afford health insurance or the cost of screenings — yet her income was too high to be eligible for the state’s Medicaid program. Even more frightening, the team at the Columbus Cancer Clinic detected a mass in her left breast during her annual mammogram.

Needing a second screening and an ultrasound, the Cancer Clinic informed Elizabeth that she would be eligible for assistance through the state’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Project (BCCP). Administered by the Ohio Department of Health through funding by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state budget appropriations, the BCCP provides mammograms, diagnostic testing and case management services to low-income women in Ohio who don’t have insurance coverage and fall in the eligibility gap for the state’s Medicaid system.

SURVIVOR CEREMONY

Regina Brett to speak at post-race event On May 14, downtown Columbus will be transformed into a sea of pink as thousands gather to participate in the annual Susan G. Komen Columbus Race for the Cure. Within the crowd of pink-clad peopleâ€”there were more than 50,000 participants in 2010â€”certain individuals stand out because they are just a little bit pinker than all the rest. Hundreds of breast cancer survivors, marked by their solid pink t-shirts, will run and walk the 5K race course this yearâ€”accompanied by family, friends and the Central Ohio community. After the race, all survivors will be invited to participate in the Sur-

vivor Ceremony & Celebration, an empowering, inspirational event that will start at 10:45 a.m. on the west steps of the Ohio Statehouse. The keynote speaker for this yearâ€™s celebration knows all too well what it means to be a breast cancer survivor. Regina Brett has been cancer-free for 14 years. She has sisters and cousins who have lost their lives to the disease. Her daughter found out in 2007 that she, like Brett, carried the BRCA1 gene, which can cause breast cancer, and chose to have her breasts surgically removed. Brett is a well-known and respected columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and a Pulitzer Prize finalist twice for pieces she

wrote for the newspaper. She is also the author of God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Lifeâ€™s Little Detours, an inspirational collection of essays, and she hosts a weekly call-in radio show on Northeast Ohioâ€™s NPR affiliate station. At the Columbus survivor ceremony, Brett will celebrate breast cancer survivorship surrounded by fellow survivors and those closest to themâ€”in addition to thousands of other Ohioans. As each survivor crosses the finish line, they will receive a pink rose and be asked to proceed to Survivor Palooza, a special tented area designated for survivors, to prepare to be honored at the

ceremony. During the event, they will parade across the Statehouse lawn in order of length of survivorshipâ€”from those undergoing treatment to those who have been cancer-free for decadesâ€” and assemble on the steps of the Statehouse to be recognized. The celebration wonâ€™t be without music. The Hot Pink Racers, a local band that combines punk rock and pink, will get the crowd moving. The band was organized exclusively for the Columbus Race for the Cure by Joe Cygan, the widower of Heather Pick, a Columbus television news anchor who lost her fight with breast cancer in 2008. Rebekah Smith, a talented young Columbus singer,

will also perform with accompianist Scott Solchert. Awards will be given to survivors and top runners. All are welcome on the State-

house lawn after the race this year to join in this amazing celebration of survivorshipâ€”and be part of finding a cure to end breast cancer forever.

13,591 women - of which 213 were diagnosed with breast cancer. Unfortunately as the state has faced difficult budget challenges in recent years, funding for the program has been significantly reduced. Based on the most recent data, 150,601 women in Ohio (8 percent of the population) are eligible for BCCP however only 11 percent of that population can be screened at current funding levels. In the proposed state budget for fiscal years 2012-2013, funding for the Ohio BCCP program is reduced by another $228,000 over the next two years translating into roughly 1,300 fewer screenings. Ohioâ€™s Komen affiliates recognize the stateâ€™s fiscal situation, so instead of asking legislative leaders to restore funding at levels from previous years, the request is to refrain from any additional reductions. â€œWe realize that itâ€™s unrealistic to expect the BCCP to receive more funding during these tough economic times,â€? Komen Columbus Executive Director Katie Carter said. â€œWhen the current budget problems are resolved and the state can dedicate more resources toward prevention, we will continue to show the cost benefits of early screening versus treatment and ask that funding be increased.â€? While state lawmakers work to reform the Medicaid system to reduce costs and improve health outcomes for Ohioans, advocates for the BCCP warn that any additional reduction in access to the screening program will only lead to increases in overall health care costs. While the average cost of BCCP services is $175, the cost of treating later stage breast cancer can exceed

OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEER

Carole Morbitzer selected for award Morbitzer says she got involved with Komen Columbus after coaching a close volleyball match. One of her star players, Lindsey, seemed distracted. Later, on the bus ride home, she noticed Lindsey and four other girls crying. Once they returned to school she approached Lindsey and discovered that her mother had just been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. “I stood there in the rain with Lindsey, her head on my shoulder and we both cried,” Morbitzer said. “When I got in the car, it hit me. Those other four girls who were crying with Lind-

sey...their mothers had breast cancer also.” Knowing she had to get involved, Morbitzer entered her school in the High School Team Challenge Program for the Komen Columbus Race for the Cure in 2000. The Hamilton Township team continues to grow every year due to a combination of new students joining with alumni, friends, and family. Last year the team reached an all time high of 816 members, and Morbitzer hopes that number will be surpassed this year. One of those alumni running

with her every year is Lindsey, who was also one of the first people Morbitzer called after finding out she received the Outstanding Individual Volunteer Award. “[Lindsey] began to cry and said, ‘I am so proud of you.’” Morbitzer said. “In my 16-year career, I have told hundreds of students that I am proud of them. It was the first time that a former student said those words to me.” In the 11 years Morbitzer has coached volleyball with Hamilton Township, she has had seven players experience their mothers’ battles with breast cancer. This motivated her to raise an incredible $95,027 for the Columbus Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure through Race registrations, pledges,Volley for the Cure events and other donations. “Every year I learn of more students who are affected by breast cancer,” Morbitzer said. “I will do everything I can for the rest of my career to get students involved in the fight against breast cancer. I will continue to encourage students to participate in the Race for the Cure every year...now and for the rest of their lives...or better yet, until there is a cure.” Each year, Morbitzer not only organizes a team to be in the race, but another 200 volunteers at the start line. Her group even choreographed a dance they taught to breast cancer survivors and then performed at the Survivor Ceremony on Race day. She says her students have a great time during the race, but do remember what is important, the survivors. “When the survivors come through those State House doors [at the Survivor Ceremony], I will look around and I will see several students in tears,” Morbitzer said, “It is during those moments when I have realized that my students get it. They understand why they are there and realize that they are a part of something amazing.” Under Morbitzer’s tireless direction, every year a new group of students becomes engaged in the breast cancer cause not only at Hamilton Township, but in Central Ohio, as she provides advice and suggestions to other area high schools for forming Race teams and planning Volley for the Cure events. As Outstanding Individual Volunteer of the Year, Morbitzer shares this advice for those participating in their first Race for the Cure: “You may have seen footage of the race on TV or looked at pictures in the paper, but you cannot truly understand what it is like until you have participated in the race. It is an experience like no other. To think that over 50,000

Hayes Roundup

Plan for baseball squad is to play on By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Unless it reaches the Division I state final, the Delaware Hayes High School baseball team won’t be playing on June 4 when four of its players will be sporting caps and gowns. Anything short of that, however, parents may want to have the uniforms clean and ready. Coach Mike Yinger expects to play out the entire season — even if many games come after the Pacers have finished playing in the Division I postseason tournament. “We really haven’t had a season this year. It has almost been a lost season to this point,” Yinger said about the rainfall that has limited games for all teams. “It’s up to each individual coach how long they want to play, as long as they don’t go past 28 regular-season games. If I had a full team of seniors, maybe it wouldn’t be important to play as many as possible. “We’ve got four seniors. There are some games when we’ve got just a couple in the lineup depending on who’s pitching. We’re a young team and the more ball we play, the better we can become. We just need to play, so we’ll try to play it out this year.” The Pacers open the Division I district tournament by playing host to Walnut Ridge on Monday, May 9. The winner plays at fourth-seeded Westerville Central in the second round on Wednesday, May 11. The

Mikayla Cooper of Hayes slides home to score a run as New Albany catcher Tiffany Goodrich awaits the late throw during the visiting Pacers’ 14-1 victory on May 4.

Warhawks have a first-round bye. Entering play May 4, Walnut Ridge was 3-10 overall and Westerville Central was 16-5. The Warhawks are led by senior Kyle Pollock, an Ohio State recruit who was hitting .485 with 30 RBI. He has received support in the lineup from seniors

Jake Simmerman (5 home runs, 21 RBI) and Danny Lawrence (3 HR, 25 RBI) and junior Matthew Bracale (21 RBI). “Westerville Central has had a real good year, and their record reflects that,” Yinger said. “I haven’t seen them play, but looking at the (area leaders) it appears as though they have a team

of all-stars.” The Pacers were 9-8 overall and 4-5 in the OCC-Capital Division before playing Olentangy Orange on May 6. “The key for us is to control what we can control,” Yinger said. “That’s not just the approach in baseball, but in life. The sooner that kids learn that

the further ahead of the game they are.” Through 16 games, Jacob Bosiokovic continued to lead the Pacers in hitting (.400), runs (22), RBI (19), doubles (6) and home runs (5). He was followed in batting average by Nick Ratliff (.295, 9 runs, 9 RBI), Tyler Miller (.294), Alex Boger (.286,

10 runs, 12 RBI) and Aaron Heber (.277, 12 RBI). Four pitchers had won two games apiece for Delaware led by Miller (2-2, 1.75 ERA). Ratliff (2-1, 4.05 ERA), Jake Wright (2-0, 5.06 ERA) and Heber (2-0, 6.50 ERA) also had See PACERS, page B2

Chadwick stepping up for Eagles softball team By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

When junior catcher Morgan Stephens suffered a broken right hand in the third game of the season, Big Walnut High School softball coach Jeff Hatfield knew he had a big void to fill in his lineup. Stephens had a .307 batting average with 12 RBI and 21 runs last season and was batting .429 with two RBI and two runs when she was injured during a 10-9 loss to Watkins Memorial on April 5. Sophomore Krysten Chadwick

took over behind the plate and her play helped ease the loss of Stephens. Through 20 games, Chadwick was batting .313 with 14 RBI, 13 runs and a team-high seven home runs, including two in a 10-5 win over Watkins Memorial on April 20. Her RBI total was tied for the team lead. “She’s done really well,” Hatfield said of Chadwick, a first-year varsity player. “She stepped in and filled really big shoes defensively for Morgan and she’s hit the ball well. Krysten is a strong kid. She hits the ball far.” Stephens returned to the line-

up as the designated player against Olentangy Orange on April 26 and hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning, helping the Golden Eagles erase an eightrun deficit and beat the visiting Pioneers 11-10. “It’s amazing to come back and hit a home run in your first game back,” Hatfield said. “It was a spark for us.” Hatfield expects to keep Chadwick at catcher for the time being and have Stephens, who was wearing an orthopedic brace on her See EAGLES, page B2

The Delaware Christian School baseball team ran into the perfect storm this spring. After two seasons without a varsity or junior varsity program, the Eagles knew it would take some time to get things going. Bad weather has not helped the cause. “It’s a combination of things that has kept us behind the 8ball,” co-coach Mike Bess said. “We have a young team because we didn’t have enough boys for a j.v. and varsity team. We have an inexperienced team because most of these kids didn’t play anywhere the past two years. “So we knew it would take extra work to shake off the rust. Because of the weather, we haven’t practiced outside since early- to mid-April. When we have a rare nice day, we play a game. We’re still teaching during the games, rather than being to the point where we’re just playing.” On rainy days, the team has to share practice time in the gymnasium with the varsity softball team and the middle school softball team. Bess also said the staff, which includes co-coach Jack Saliba and assistant Sharon Copley, was surprised by some of the talent in the MOCAL. “Everything has been a challenge this season,” Bess said.

“We haven’t hit well overall and we’ve made far too many errors. Our pitching, with Jeff Copley, Jacob Saliba and Pete Kerins, has been pretty good for the most part. We just haven’t supported them as well as we should on defense or on offense.” Kerins led the team in hitting through 10 games, going 14-for34 (.412) with five doubles and eight runs.

two victories. Bosiokovic was 1-3 with one save and a 3.41 ERA. “I like our young guys and every player on this team is trying hard to get better,” Yinger said. “They know how to play the game. They just need to play the game without over-analyzing it. You can’t dwell on the negative. The mental part of the game is incredible. You need to keep things in perspective, and for some players that means turning off the mental part at some point.” •The softball team became the first varsity league champion for the Pacers this school year when it defeated Mount Vernon 14-0 on May 5 to clinch a share of the OCC-Capital title. Now the focus shifts to the Division I district tournament. “I’m extremely excited that we are in a position to focus on both at the same time,” coach Mark Thomas said. “In past years, we would be pointing to the tournament already because we were out of the league race.” Delaware was attempting to finish league play last week with four consecutive games scheduled, concluding with a game at second-place Hilliard Bradley on May 7. The Pacers were seeded eighth for the tournament and will open at home Tuesday, May 10, against Reynoldsburg. The winner will play host to 12th-seeded Westerville Central or Brookhaven in the second round on Thursday, May 12. Delaware did not play any of those teams this season, although Reynoldsburg was on the original schedule. That contest was canceled for a league makeup game. The Raiders were 4-13 overall before May 6. “Reynoldsburg hasn’t won too many games, but they play in a really strong OCC-Ohio Division,” Thomas said. “They’ve also had to move some kids around after removing a girl from the team. So they’ve had some problems.” Westerville Central was 14-7 overall before May 6 and Brookhaven was 11-5. “I don’t know too much about Westerville Central or Brookhaven, but I’m sending a coach out to scout them. Central played very well for half the season, but has struggled just a bit lately. “ I’ve heard they have a pretty good pitcher and a few real good hitters.” The Warhawks are led by Allie Cody, who was hitting .500 with seven home runs and 22 RBI through 19 games. She was supported by Perry Wallinger (.429), Andi Hayes (.400, 4 HR), Andi Lowe (.385) and Paige McMenemy (12 RBI). In the circle, Alex Rios was 7-1 with 53 strikeouts and a 1.82 ERA and McMenemy was 4-3 with 42 strikeouts and a 0.33 ERA. •The boys tennis team will begin postseason play Thursday, May 12, in the Division I sectional at Hilliard Darby. The Pacers made few changes in their sectional lineup, keeping Chris Leyva, Justin Rike and Nick Tanuredjo in the singles spots. Tanuredjo will face Groveport’s Dylan Merle in a play-in match, with the winner advancing to play Newark’s Connor McNeish. Leyva will face

hand when she returned to the lineup, be the designated player or play first base until her hand has completely healed. “Morgan’s not going to catch for a while,” Hatfield said. Big Walnut, which was 9-13 overall and 5-7 in the OCC-Capital Division before playing Franklin Heights on May 6, opens the Division II district tournament at home against Hamilton Township on Monday, May 9, and would play at Whitehall in the second round on Wednesday, May 11, if it advances. The second-round winner likely would face top-seeded DeSales in a semifinal on May 16 at Pickerington North. Possible opponents for the district final on May 18 at Pickerington Central include third-seeded Hilliard Bradley and fourth-seeded Licking Valley. Since 2001, the only time Big Walnut has not advanced past the second round was in 2007. “Everyone pretty much jumped away from DeSales,” Hatfield said of the tournament draw held May 1. “I picked what I thought was the best route to get back to (a district semifinal). That’s our goal. “As up and down as we’ve been, we can be a tough out in the tournament and we can win a district championship. We believe we’re capable of playing with anybody. But we’ll have to play good ball to get back to Pickerington.” In addition to Chadwick, the offensive leaders through 20 games included senior shortstop Shelby Fink (.450, 10 RBI, 17 runs), senior third baseman Tayler Nance (.439, 5 RBI, 6 runs), senior outfielder Tabatha Piper (.397, 13 RBI, 13 runs), senior second baseman Brittany Bok (.298, 12 RBI, 10 runs), freshman utility player Hayley Apple (.313, 7 RBI, 9 runs) and sophomore pitcher Allie Walker (.304, 14 RBI, 5 runs). •The baseball team is seeded eighth for the Division II district tournament and plays host to Beechcroft in the first round on Tuesday, May 10. The winner plays at fifth-seeded Granville on Thursday, May 12. If the Golden Eagles get through the first two rounds, they would play third-seeded Hartley, Columbus South or Sparta Highland in a district semifinal on May 16 at Hilliard Davidson. Possible opponents for the district final on May 18 at Grove City include fourth-seeded DeSales and sixthseeded Watterson. “I thought that was our best shot to get to (a district semifinal),” coach Chris Holly said. “The (other district) bracket is loaded (with top-seeded Olentangy and second-seeded Jonathan Alder). We have pretty much the whole CCL with us in (our) bracket. There are a lot of tough teams in (our) bracket, but we’re looking forward to that challenge.” Big Walnut expects to have its No. 4 and 5 hitters — junior outfielder Ben Romer and junior second baseman/catcher Aaron Dattilo — in the lineup for its tournament opener. Romer injured a hamstring in an 8-7 win over Orange on April 8 and Dattilo suffered a head injury in a 12-0, fiveinning win over Columbus West on April 26. “Those are two good hitters, two good ballplayers,” Holly said. Through 17 games, Big Walnut’s offensive leaders included senior shortstop Joe Curran (.548, 16 RBI, 24 runs), junior third baseman Tyler Beam (.439, 20 RBI, 20 runs), Dattilo (.422, 17 RBI,

10 runs) and junior first baseman/outfielder Grant Beam (.387, 16 RBI, 16 runs). Grant Beam is the leadoff hitter, while Curran and Tyler Beam bat second and third, respectively. On the mound, Tyler Beam was 2-0 with a 1.91 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 22 innings, senior Dan Pike was 3-1 with a 4.06 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 20 innings and senior Blake Gulley was 2-3 with a 4.08 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 36 innings. “Everything seems to be coming together,” Holly said. “I don’t think we’ve peaked yet, but we’re very close.” •The track and field teams will spend the next three days preparing for the OCC-Capital meet, which will be held Thursday, May 12, and Saturday, May 14, at Davidson. Last year, the boys team scored 137 points in the league meet to place second, behind Watkins Memorial (184) and ahead of New Albany (109), Orange (71), Bradley (52), Mount Vernon (41), Delaware Hayes (40) and Franklin Heights (24). “The OCC-Capital is pretty competitive,” boys coach Eric Myers said. “Bradley is much improved, New Albany is strong and, until someone dethrones Watkins, we have to think they have the upper hand. We’re starting to come together, but we’re not 100 percent, and that could be a factor.” Senior Kenny Brown, who was expected to be one of the Golden Eagles’top sprinters, missed most of the season because of an ankle injury. He made his season debut in a tri-meet on May 3 against Franklin Heights and Gahanna Christian. “He’s not 100 percent,” Myers said. “We’re not sure where he’s

going to be come time for (the league meet).” Myers expects the long jump to be a key event in the league meet. In the area honor roll last week, senior Tyler Fifer was third with a distance of 21 feet, 6 1/2 inches. Bradley’s Marquis Copeland was tied for fourth (214) and New Albany’s Travon Bodrick was sixth (21-3). “In that (event), two or three inches could be the difference between scoring 10 points or four,” Myers said. Fifer was first in the honor roll in the high jump with a height of 6-10 1/4. The only other member of the boys team in the honor roll was senior Luke Atkeson, who was third in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.84 seconds. The girls scored 72 in the league meet last year to place fifth, behind Watkins Memorial (145.5), New Albany (138), Mount Vernon (82.5) and Orange (82) and ahead of Franklin Heights (62), Bradley (56) and Delaware (25). “I like where we are as a team,” girls coach Joe Evener said. “I think we have good balance. We have the ability to score in all of our events. Our throwing group has improved quite a bit and our vault group has improved. I think the girls are starting to peak.” Junior Brea Medlock was among the top 400 runners in the area honor roll with a time of 1:00.01. The 800 relay of freshman Olivia Small, junior Callie Carioti, freshman Jamie Annis and Medlock also made the honor roll with a time of 1:47.16. pdolan@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

CHRISTIAN coach Bill Ferrigno said. “If we had a few more girls come around or put the ball in play more frequently, we’d be a pretty good team and be running on all cylinders. We’ve had good pitching and defense and there’s a lot of potential with the younger girls. But they are facing mature, experienced pitching for the first time and haven’t had enough reps because of the weather this spring.” Ridgedale was 0-11 before May 5, but coach Ferrigno has learned not to look at opponents’ records. “They play in a tough league against bigger schools, so we try not to even be interested in records when it comes tournament time,” he said. “We are real excited to get to play a tournament game at home, though. That beats playing a high seed on the road to start off with.” The Eagles beat Marion Catholic 14-2 in the opener April 6 as Malisiak pitched a one-hitter. They have not played Newark Catholic, which was 13-7 before May 5.

both games were postponed. The Eagles lost to Fairfield Christian 6-3 on April 21. Tree of Life was 10-5 overall before May 5, while Fairfield Christian was 10-2 and Fairbanks was 6-11. Tree of Life has been led on offense by Elliott Hagans (4 home runs, 21 RBI) and Gordon Coakley (19 RBI). Lucas Daugherty was 6-0 with a 2.88 ERA and 68 strikeouts. Fairfield Christian was led by Luke Johnson (4 HR, 22 RBI). Luke Sheets and Collin Young were its top pitchers. •The softball team was hoping for some quick growth from its younger players to close the regular season. The Eagles begin Division IV district tournament play Tuesday, May 10, at home against Morral Ridgedale. The winner plays Thursday, May 12, at top-seeded Newark Catholic or Marion Catholic. “Our top hitters (Haley Kirby, Liz Roden, Wendy Ferrigno and Jennah Malisiak) have done a really nice job at the top of the order and you bemerine@thisweeknews.com can tell that they’re the veterans on this team,” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
