School board OKs November levy By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Delaware residents in November will vote on an emergency operating levy for Delaware City Schools. Board members on May 16 unanimously agreed to place a five-year levy on the ballot. If approved, it would raise $6 million per year. Those funds, along

with savings from personnel cuts, would be used to prevent a $25.7-million deficit for fiscal year 2015. Superintendent Paul Craft told ThisWeek that county auditor George Kaitsa will calculate the levy’s millage within the George Kaitsa

next couple of weeks. The November election filing deadline is in August. Craft said he expects the millage to be 8.3 to 8.6. The exact amount will depend on property valuation in the district, which Kaitsa will review this year. School officials cited large cuts in state aid, combined with growing enrollment and inflation, as reasons for the district’s growing budget problems.

The district estimates about a 13-percent cut in state funding. Another factor is that the district’s state subsidy for the former personal property tax, paid by businesses, is ending more quickly than had been expected. The district received a $3.5-million subsidy payment for the current fiscal year. That subsidy will disappear in fiscal year 2015.

Craft said the district will make a total of $1.4 million to $2.4 million in spending cuts, which will carry over annually over the next four years. Craft said he wants to reduce the projected deficit to $20 million or lower. The remaining deficit would be addressed with the requested operating levy. See SCHOOL BOARD, page A6

Big Walnut hears about fiscal future By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A closer look

The Big Walnut school district is projected to stay in the black through school year 2012-13, officials said. Treasurer Felicia Drummey reviewed that information as part of the five-year forecast of the operating fund during the May 9 school board meeting. School districts are required by the Ohio Department of Education to submit five-year forecasts twice each school year. The forecasts are submitted for board approval in October and May each school year and sent to ODE. School fiscal years begin on July 1 and end the following June 30. The report projects revenues and expenses through fiscal year 2015, but Drummey said the fourth and

Revenue is projected to increase about 3.7 percent over five years, treasurer Felicia Drummey said. Some revenues, such as state funding, are decreasing, while others, such as property taxes, are increasing. Expenses are estimated to grow about $1 million per year, the forecast shows, about 7.47 percent over the five years. Operating expenses include personnel wages and benefits, purchased services such as legal fees, staff development, tuition paid to charter schools and special education contract services, and supplies for instructional use.

fifth years of a forecast are less reliable because the fluctuation in revenues and expenses is difficult to pin down that far in the future. “The forecast is a management tool that school administrators use to help paint a picture of the future based on our activity today,” Drummey said. “We look at historical trends

in order to adjust for future fluctuations.” Given the poor economy, anticipated cuts in state funding to the district and a projected 5- to 10-percent decrease in property values, “this is probably the most difficult time to try to project those (numbers) because we are in a volatile point in

history,” Drummey said. From the current fiscal year, 2011, through fiscal year 2014, the district is estimated to receive about $28 million from such sources as property and income tax, and state and federal funding. That amount includes the levy that voters approved in November 2010, which brings in $4.9 million annually. Revenue is projected to increase about 3.7 percent over five years, Drummey said. Some revenues, such as state funding, are decreasing, while others, such as property taxes, are increasing. Expenses are estimated to grow about $1 million per year, the forecast shows, about 7.47 percent over the five years. Operating expenses include personnel wages and benefits, See BIG WALNUT, page A6

For 20 years, the BST&G Fire Department has been operating with the same levy millage, but it might be time for a change. The department’s 2-mill, five-year operating levy will expire in May 2012. Fire Chief Mark Almendinger said the BST&G board is discussing how to proceed with a levy request. “It would probably be a new one,” Almendinger said, saying that the levy’s millage hasn’t been determined yet. The board has discussed a two-year and a five-year levy. Almendinger said his recommendation would probably be for a five-year levy. Almendinger said the current levy no longer meets the need, and that it’s becoming challenging to get the resources required to meet demand. As the surrounding commercial and residential development has increased, so has the fire department’s activity. BST&G had been averaging about 200 runs per year. Within the last four to five years, the number of runs has been increasing yearly by about 100 runs. Last year, BST&G made more than 900 total runs. “A volunteer environment on 900 runs doesn’t work,” Almendinger said. BST&G became a part-time paid fire department 16 months ago and employs 36 part-time firefighters along with Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Wilson, who is full time. The station is staffed 24 hours a day and serves 51 square miles and a six-mile stretch on Interstate 71 near state Route 36. Three firefighters are on duty at any time, and all firefighters are always on call. If paged, they determine whether they can come in to provide additional support. Almendinger said he wants to use new levy funds to move three firefighters from part-time to fulltime status. The three-person shift would then be staffed by one full-time person and two part-time people. Part-time employees can work a maximum of 1,550 hours per year; on average they work about 24 hours per week. Offering full-time pay to employees would help the fire department “attract and maintain those topSee BST&G DISCUSSES, page A4

Delaware County sewer plant costs increase By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Lower Scioto Water Reclamation Facility is nearly complete, but construction modifications continue to drive up the original contract price. The sewage treatment plant is being built on 40 acres east and west of U.S. Route 42, and along Moore and Dublin roads in Concord Township. Delaware County commissioners on May 16 approved a $717,000 change order for the project, which will pay for modifications to a sewer line that will

feed into the facility. The sewer line, 36 inches in diameter, initially was planned to run toward Dublin Road in an east to west direction at a length of 150 feet. While the line will still exit the plant at the same location, it will instead run north to south for 400 feet. The new location puts the sewer line behind residences, making it less intrusive and in a location viable for future development, said environmental services director Tiffany Jenkins. The change order puts the construction cost at $23,336,655. The original contract was $21,986,625.

the sewer line’s new location will be slightly more useful. The plant initially will have the capacity to accept and treat 1.4 million gallons of wastewater per day from residences in a 1,000-acre area bounded by Duffy Road to the south, U.S. 42 to the north, the Union County line to the west, and state Route 745 to the east. Plant construction started in 2008, and was planned to be completed by September 2009. Jenkins, who has served as director since June 2010, said various construction issues have postponed the date. The plant is now about

Resident heads to world pinball contest By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Not just anyone can boast an 11thplace ranking in world pinball. Trent Augenstein, a Delaware resident who has been playing pinball since he was about 5 or 6 years old, can claim the title. Augenstein will compete in the 8th annual International Flipper Pinball Association World Pinball Championship May 27-29 in Vargarda, Sweden. He will compete with the other top 63 players from around the globe. This will be his fourth time competing in the championship. He placed sixth in his first and second competitions, and placed eighth in his third competition. The top 16 competitors get monetary prizes, with $5,550 for first place.

A closer look Delaware resident Trent Augenstein will compete in the 8th annual International Flipper Pinball Association World Pinball Championship May 27-29 in Vargarda, Sweden. He will compete with the other top 63 other players from around the globe. This will be his fourth time competing in the championship.

The website www.pinballrankings. com, which lists stats for more than 8,000 pinball players, ranks Augenstein at 11th place. Augenstein, who has participated in tournaments in Sweden, Brazil, Eng-

land, France, Germany and Holland, attends tournaments weekly or every other week. His first tournament, the Ohio Championships, was held in 1993 in Columbus. “It’s a pretty regular occurrence at this point,” he said, though he sometimes gets nervous sometimes before bigger tournaments. At the IFPA Championship, players compete using a variety of pinball machines. Some tournaments are labeled “classic,” and use only machines that are 10 to 15 years old. Electromechanical machines, made before 1975, don’t use any circuit boards. Solid state machines, built between 1975 and 1990, use circuit boards and have flat playing fields with digital displays. Modern machines, built from 1990 on, feature more complicated playing

Genoa considers agreement to put soccer fields at park By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Genoa Township is considering an agreement with the Central Ohio Soccer Association (COSA) to improve 26 areas of parkland on Sheffield Park Drive, near Jaycox Road. Donated to the township by Virginia Homes in 2009, the land needs extensive grading work, parks manager Ron Keil said. COSA president Bob Tener told trustees May 19 the association would like to improve the property by constructing about six fields for sports such as soccer and lacrosse. Trustees affirmed their interest, saying they had concerns about parking, traffic and landscape buffering for nearby residences in Sheffield Park. Tener said COSA would need to “secure a 25year lease” on the property. The agreement, which is still developing, would include the township seasonally receiving $5 from each player's fees.

That money would go to the township's park improvement fund. COSA also suggests the site have a trail, utilities, a parking lot and driveway, and a building with a concession area and small meeting hall. Keil said the partnership would be a win-win for the township, which doesn't want to run a sports program because it is costly to do so. Trustees would have to approve various steps in the process, which they said must include sessions for the public to weigh in on the idea. In other park news, the township is rethinking some of the planned improvements for McNamara Park. The lowest bid for the project was Trucco Company coming in at $1.45 million. The township only appropriated about $950,000 for park improvements. Administrator Paul Wise said the township is working with Trucco and the prosecutor's office to see if Genoa can perform some of the improvements in-house to lower the costs.

field ramps and scoops and a bigger digital display. While he doesn’t favor one type of machine over another, Augenstein said that the older games generally are more difficult, since it’s harder to control your play and easier to lose your ball. Modern games play a lot faster. “You have to adapt your style,” he said. At the IFPA Championship, four people per group play three games against three different people, which is considered one round of play. Players are then resorted into groups of four different people. Players play on each of the three types of machines once during each round. One game takes between 5 and 15 minutes. Six rounds are held on the first day, and two morning rounds are held Saturday. After that, the top 32 people advance to finals, dur-

BST&G discusses possible levy increase Continued from page A1 notch firefighters,” Almendinger said. Some employees have left for full-time departments. Almendinger said he has to replace a couple of firefighters about every three to four months. Almendinger said he anticipates offering a $34,000 salary for full-time firefighters, plus benefits, though that amount could change. The parttime hourly rate of $10.25 wouldn’t substantially change. Levy funds also would be used to develop a fund for truck replacement schedules, Almendinger said. Depending upon how much they’re used, a fire truck lasts 15 to 20 years and a ladder truck lasts 20 to 25 years. On average, it costs about $500,000 to replace a truck. BST&G has 10 trucks, built in years ranging from 1984 to 2010. The Delaware County auditor will update valuation of all property in the BST&G district in August, Almendinger said. Current valuation totals

$324 million. The current levy generates $638,000 per year, and is the fire department’s only funding source. Almendinger said the levy request can be submitted Jan. 1, 2012. The four-member BST&G Fire Board will determine the millage by the end of the year. In other Sunbury news: • In addition to the $20,201 AEP owes the village of Sunbury for incorrectly charging the village for old street lights that were no longer in service, AEP will pay Sunbury $3,258. The village was previously told it would receive a refund covering a three-year period. The refund period was only for 31 months. AEP had been incorrectly charging the village for five years, but its refund policy goes back only three years. • The Sunbury Tree & Landscape Commission is looking for a new member.

Just thinking

Symptom No. 1 of cold No. 3: thinking goes out the window Do I seem to be in a daze? It’s because I have a cold. Most colds can be divided into two categories, like Thanksgiving dressing is described in Joy of Cooking: wet and dry. Wet colds involve runny noses, explosive sneezes and burbly snoring by night. Dry colds mean painful, hacking coughs that scrape the throat raw and sear the lungs while leaving the nose more or less out of it. My cold is a third kind. It began with a sore throat that suggested a hard rubber ball had been snugly inserted under my soft palate. (I picture this as a minor outpatient procedure.) When the ball went away, it took with it most of my speaking ability, leaving me with a voice audible only when I speak in the extreme lower registers, like James Earl Jones, only deeper. Talking in my regular voice produces nothing but a whisper, which grows to a squeak when I try to shout. This was entertaining for a while, but after that the desire to communicate overrode the fun of sounding like a desperate cartoon animal. The effort required to drop my voice into the sub-basement in order to make even random comments such as “Look at that funny dog” or “The car is on fire,” no doubt is one reason why I’ve pretty much stopped talking. It’s not the only reason, though. Other colds are wet or dry, and this cold is fluffy, as in “My head is full of gray stuff like soft packing peanuts that muffle everything else in there.” If my brain was being shipped to Sweetwater, Wyo., for a vacation, it would be good to go, but for staying here and coming up with answers to simple questions, such as what’s for dinner and how bad is it if we eat salad greens that would have been best if enjoyed by last Tuesday, it’s struggling. Of course, my brain often struggles over the tiny challenges of life in the 21st century. For instance, I just came across yet another news item about the bickering among electronic media over which of them broke the story about the shooting of Osama bin Ladin. In a recent Salon story, someone named Felix Salmon of Reuters wrote, “ … at 10:34 p.m., when Cooper still thought that Osama had been captured, Stelter had already retweeted Urbahn;

MARGO BARTLETT

had then tweeted that “the whispers about bin Laden are getting louder in Washington circles”; and had then come out with a pretty definitive third

Most toothpaste manufacturers offer a mint-flavored toothpaste and another toothpaste they call “regular.” Lots of people like mint, so they buy mint-flavored toothpaste. I’m not such a mint fan myself, not even in ice cream or Girl Scout cookies, so I buy “regular” toothpaste when I can. But what is “regular?” And why is it called “regular” and not something more descriptive, like “pyrophosphate” or “Xylitol?” True, we don’t yet associate whatever taste regular toothpaste is with the word “Xylitol,” but we will. Look at how we learned to say “super size that” instead of “give me an insane amount of that.” It’s all about adapting. Also, why is “regular” the same flavor across all toothpaste brands? Maybe toothpaste connoisseurs can distinguish between Crest and Pepsodent in blind taste tests, but to me, “regular” is a standard flavor, like milk. Did toothpaste makers intend to make regular toothpaste universal, a kind of toothpaste euro? Do all corporate chemists start with a baseline pile of regular toothpaste, to which they add speculative flavors – crème de menthe, mushroom soup, sidewalk chalk – until they find one they deem marketable? Well, don’t mind me. It’s because I’m sick, of course. I have a cold, my head is full of peanut fluff and I’m in a daze. That’s just the kind of cold it is.

tweet …” Never mind who Cooper and Stelter and Urbahn are; never mind, even, the fact that the name “Felix Salmon” makes me think, irresistibly, of a cat. Instead, look at “retweeted, tweeted, pretty definitive third tweet,” which I promise you represent just a tiny percentage of all the Twitter, tweet, re-tweet, tweeting references throughout the story. I for one was lost, and I do know what Twitter is. In fact, I have an account, although the last time I visited Twitter, it informed me that my most recent message was sent in April 2010. “We miss you!” it added. Right. So this is something I think about as I walk through my day with a head full of the peanut packing fluff that is my cold: “Many people do not tweet, will never tweet and neither know nor care about Twitter as a social media tool. If this is what constitutes ‘news’ these days, some people will simply stop even trying to keep up.” This morning, then, I was glad when another question came bobbing through the fluff. It was this: What is the flavor that toothpaste To reach Margo Bartlett, email calls “regular”? mbartlett@thisweeknews.com.

Delaware County sewer plant costs increase Continued from page A1 celed, and Jenkins said the area is largely undeveloped. Though the sewer facility could be operational upon completion, she said, she hasn’t “had people knocking on my door” requesting to tie into the facility. The plant’s tap fee has not yet been established, but per the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement between the Concord/Scioto Community Authority and the county, the fee cannot be less than $5,900. “It seems untimely now,” Jenkins said of the plant’s development, saying she’s confident that “there will be sewage treated there” in the future. Delaware County Regional Planning Commission director Scott Sanders said the county decided to update its sewer master plan around 2003 or 2004. The planning commission, along with the county and the Delaware General Health District identified areas that had population densities which could require future sewer connections. The Delaware County Sewer Master Plan preliminary report from 2004 identified the Lower Scioto Service Area as one of four areas recommended for future sewer service. A map outlining land owner interest also identified possible land owner participation near the intersection of Merchant and Home roads. Sanders said Village Communities originally planned to develop 850 residential lots on 1,000 acres between Merchant Road

and U.S. 42. Village Communities also had proposed to construct the sewer facility. The plant was designed to serve the development as well as the rest of the township. Numerous nearby residents have opposed the new plant. The citizens group Friends of Concord Township filed a lawsuit against the project, stating that the facility was being built too close to their homes. A Marion County judge dismissed the lawsuit at the end of July 2009 because construction already had started. Betsy Moffett of Concord Township spoke to commissioners on May 16 about a study the Ohio Department of Natural Resources conducted identifying sinkholes in the area. A member of Friends of Concord Township, Moffett said she had previously complained to the former commissioners about the plant being constructed near her neighborhood. “I would ask to make sure that those lines are going where they can go,” Moffett said. Moffett, who lives three properties north of the sewer line in question, told ThisWeek that the study needs to be looked at. “I think they need to work together to get the pipe across with the least trouble, and the information is there now for them to do this,”

she said. The study identifies sinkholes and potential sinkholes within the western half of Delaware County and surrounding areas, including parts of Marion, Union, Franklin and Morrow counties. The research is part of a new Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological Survey project. The study says the area has 375 confirmed sinkholes and 60 potential sinkholes, said Douglas Aden, geologist at Division of Geological Survey. Delaware County is the third highest area in the state with the most concentrated areas of sinkholes, Aden said. The area of Adams, Brown and Highland counties ranks first, and the area of Seneca, Sandusky, Erie and Huron counties ranks second. In Ohio, 2 percent of the land has limestone and “heavy karst” (rock and soil) terrain, the necessary environment for sinkholes to form. Aden estimated that the average size of the sinkholes identified in the study ranged from two to 15 feet deep, and from one to 60 feet wide. “Any structure built over a sinkhole could collapse down into it,” Aden said, saying that there’s also risk involved in building a structure adjacent to a sinkhole. Filling in a sinkhole is only a temporary fix.

Continued from page A1 Also at the meeting, the board approved additional work days for personnel. Craft told members the district reduced the number of next year’s extended days by nearly 40 percent. The reduction will save $70,000 in next year’s projected budget. The affected personnel are primarily teachers, guidance counselors and school psychologists. The board also: • Approved the following positions: director of student support services, at an annual salary of $72,913; speech and language pathologist, at an annual salary of $52,952; and home instructor, at a rate of $20 per hour. • Authorized Metropolitan Education Council to act on its behalf to advertise and receive bids to buy a 78-passenger school bus and two 72-passenger handicapped-equipped school buses. • Approved three positions for the school-age child-care program, three summer school teachers, one summer Ohio Graduation Test tutor-test administrator monitor and five summer OGT summer tutors. • Approved a 10-member summer maintenance crew of two adults and eight students. This year’s summer maintenance crew has four fewer members than last year because of budget constraints. ssole@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

ating expenses are projected to be $24 million. In fiscal year 2012, they are projected to be $28 million, which includes bringing back 19 of the 44 positions cut from the budget for the 2010-11 school year. Operating expenditures are pro-

jected to be $30 million in fiscal 2013 and $32 million in fiscal year 2014. The operating expenses include a 3-percent annual step wage increase. The plan lists no base pay increase for employees in fiscal

2012. It includes 1-percent raises for 2013 and 1.5 percent for 2014. Drummey said those amounts are not fixed. The board unanimously approved the forecast. bbutcher@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Township dedicates legacy donation Genoa Township trustee Barb Lewis hosted the inaugural ceremony for the township’s legacy program established this year. Genoa Township dedicated a red oak tree in Freeman Road Park in honor of resident Jerry Bennett, who died in late 2010. The tree was funded through a donation from Bennett’s wife, Ruthann Bennett.

In a news release, Lewis said “On behalf of Genoa Township, I wish to sincerely thank Mrs. Bennett for participating in the Genoa Township Legacy Program. Due to her generosity and thoughtfulness, the beautiful red oak that was dedicated to her husband Jerry today will be a living memorial to him and will also be enjoyed by all who love walking in Freeman Park as he did.” For information, visit www.genoatwp.com.

Scouting news Bradford earns Eagle Award Brandon Bradford of Boy Scout Troop 284 has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Bradford, a senior at Hayes High School and the Delaware Area Career Center, where he is in the landscape and turf management program, earned 29 merit badges (Eagle Scouts must earn a minimum of 21 badges) and completed a hiking trail at Dela-ware Dam for his Eagle Scout project. In his troop, based at Bellpoint United Methodist Church, Bradford has served as a den chief leader, an assistant patrol leader, a senior patrol leader and an assistant junior scoutmaster. Bradford’s achievement is a family affair, since his three older brothers also became Eagle Scouts, Rob in 1996, Ben in 2001 and Ryan in 2004. His sister Holly, not

to be outdone, earned Girl Scouts’ highest honor, the Gold Award, in 2006. An Eagle Court of Honor was held at March 26, at Bellpoint UMC, 4771 state Route 257. Bradford is the son of Robert and Joyce Bradford of Delaware.

Scouts attain Eagle rank Christopher Burger and James Heinen took part in an Eagle Scout Court of Honor early this year at the Genoa Township Hall. Burger and Heinen, both members of the Simon Kenton Council Boy Scout Troop 843, each completed at least 21 merit badges and organized a service project. Burger and Heinen developed projects for the Humane Society of Delaware County. Burger spent 195 hours designing and creating an amphitheater for educational

programs. Heinen devoted 370 hours to building a 23-foot by 16foot by 8-foot cat shelter that provides a pro- Christopher tected exterior Burger exercise area and a show case. Heinen and Burger are seniors at Olentangy Orange High School. After graduation, both plan trips with their fathers. Heinen and his father will tour the Colorado National Forests by bicycle; Burger and his father will take a weeklong trek through Glacier National Park. Both have been scouts since age 7 and have held multiple offices in their troop. Burger is the son of Susan and Kenneth Burger of Galena. Heinen is the son of Shirley and James Heinen of Westerville.

Hayes Roundup

Softball team getting glimpse of future By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Delaware Hayes High School softball team has been energized by a new battery this season. The freshman tandem of pitcher Mikayla Cooper and catcher Kaitlyn Woerner helped lead the Pacers to their first league championship since 2000, and they were making a bid to reach a Division I district final when rain interfered May 19. “I’m ecstatic knowing that we’re set at pitcher and catcher for four years,” coach Mark Thomas said. “It’s remarkable to have two freshmen of their caliber come in and make such an impact immediately. I’ve seen a freshman pitcher, or position player, have an impact, but not a pitcher and catcher that complement each other the way they do.” Delaware, seeded eighth, led fifth-seeded Worthington Kilbourne 3-1 entering the fourth inning of a district semifinal when the field conditions at Pickerington North became unplayable. The teams were scheduled to finish the game May 20, with the winner playing secondseeded Gahanna or Upper Arlington in the final May 21. The Pacers’ last trip to a district final was in 2006, when they lost to Hilliard Davidson 8-3. That came one year after winning a district title by beating Gahanna 1-0. They lost to West Chester Lakota West 4-0 in a regional semifinal that season. Assistant coaches Amanda

If there was any question as to what is the strength of the Big Walnut High School girls track and field team, it was answered during the OCC-Capital Division meet May 12 and 14 at Hilliard Davidson. The Golden Eagles won three of the four relays en route to finishing the meet with 119 points to place second, behind Watkins Memorial (152.5) and

Vernon (64), Franklin Heights (63.5), Olentangy Orange (59) and Delaware Hayes (27). “I was very pleased,” coach Joe Evener said. “I think the girls performed incredibly. I was hoping for top three (as a team). I knew Watkins was strong. They have a huge senior class. You’re allowed to put three people in each event in the OCC meet, and Watkins is a deeper team than we are. New Albany

April 19), but they didn’t use their regular lineup for that meet and I knew they had a lot of good athletes. “Watkins and New Albany are two of the more elite teams in central Ohio. To take down a team like New Albany was really big. And relatively speaking, I thought we held our own against Watkins.” See EAGLES, page B3

The Delaware Christian School softball team finished with a 5-10 overall record to match last year’s mark after losing to Ridgedale 9-5 in the first round of the Division IV district tournament on May 10. But coach Bill Ferrigno said the Eagles were better this season. “There were a handful of non-league games that were rained out that we feel confident in saying we would have won,” he said. “The girls are disappointed the record didn’t improve, but with those rainouts and the fact that we couldn’t get enough practice time, the record doesn’t reflect the improvement. It’s tough when you play one or two games one week and don’t play again for the next week-and-a-half because of weather. The start-stops really hurt us. Everyone struggled with finding a rhythm this season.” Delaware Christian was 3-7 in the MOCAL to finish fourth behind Grove City Christian (9-0), Madison Christian (7-3) and Tree of Life (5-4) and ahead of Fairfield Christian (2-7) and Gahanna Christian (1-6). One of the Eagles’ league victories was 8-7 over Tree of Life on May 6. “That was definitely a highlight, beating a solid team in their final home game,” Ferrigno said. “We played virtually flawless ball. We split with them last year, too, so our girls know they can play with the better teams. Now we need to make it happen consistently.” The Eagles lose just one senior in left fielder Ashleigh Hovda. Expected to return is a solid group of juniors in starters Wendy Ferrigno (1B), Haley Kirby (SS), Jennah Malisiak (P) and Liz Roden (C), as well as outfielders Caroline Art and Marissa Heeter. Other expected returning starters are sopho-

mores Holly Bach (RF), Jessica Kapraly (2B) and Shannon Ridge (CF), as well as freshmen Katie Morgan (3B) and Carmon Weldi (OF). Also eligible to return are sophomore outfielders Rachael Cross and Elana Plazzoles-Hayes and freshmen outfielders Madison Eastman and Katie Hovda. Kirby and Roden were first-team all-MOCAL, with Wendy Ferrigno making second team and Kapraly and Malisiak both making honorable mention. See CHRISTIAN, page B2

Continued from page B1 plays for the Buckeye Heat in travel ball during the summer, they work out together often. “Coop is my best friend,” Woerner said. “We get together two or three times a week to work on hitting in her garage with her father. I also catch her when she has her pitching lessons.” Cooper was 14-3 with a 0.93 ERA and 154 strikeouts before the district semifinal. She was hitting .544 with 35 RBI from the cleanup spot. Woerner was batting .388 from her second spot in the order. “Coop is a tremendous player who has her head on straight and remains even-keel,” said Thomas, whose team had won 17 of 20 after opening 1-3. “She’s an unbelievable person and player. What a combination. Kaitlyn, you can’t tell she’s a freshman. She is one heck of a backstop.” The district champion will play in a regional semifinal Wednesday, May 25, at Ohio State against Copley, Brunswick, Medina, Medina Highland or Wadsworth. •The boys tennis team will lose its top two singles players after finishing 6-7 overall and 3-3 in the OCC-Capital. The Pacers, who played one fewer match than everyone in the league except Hilliard Bradley, improved to fourth place in the final points standings after finishing fifth last year. Delaware totaled 31 points to finish behind New Albany (76), Olentangy Orange (52) and Big Walnut (39) and ahead of Bradley (24), Watkins Memorial (22), Franklin Heights (7) and Mount Vernon (6). “I think we were an improved product this season and the three (overall) matches we had rained out likely would have been wins, so that kept us from having a winning record,” coach Dan Morrison said. “We won two or three matches that we could’ve lost, but lost only one time when we played well enough to win.” The Pacers competed in three district-qualifying matches in the Hilliard Darby sectional May 14, but did not advance anyone to district. Reaching sectional quarterfinals were seniors Chris Leyva and Justin Rike in singles and the doubles team of junior Josh Byerly and freshman John Homan. Leyva and Rike, the team’s top singles players, were joined in the senior class by Seth French, Jesus Huerta, Brandon Johnson, Corey Kuchers, Kyle Mann, Josh Motilall and Matt Sands. “Chris won several close matches and rallied to win in several matches to finish above .500 at first singles,” Morrison said. “Justin was runner-up in the OCC and played well in the sectional. He really played about as well as he could at the end of the season. We had a good group of seniors who were very helpful in integrating our younger and older players on a very large team. They were a very pleasant group.”

Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the Delaware Hayes baseball and track & field teams, and the Delaware boys club lacrosse team: BASEBALL *May 14 — Defeated Olentangy Orange 9-3 Of note: The Pacers finished 12-12 overall and 6-7 in the OCC-Capital. *OCC-Capital game TRACK & FIELD May 12, 14 — Boys: Finished eighth (27) in OCC-Capital meet at Hilliard Davidson behind Watkins Memorial (156), New Albany (155), Big Walnut (103), Hilliard Bradley (82), Olentangy Orange (60), Franklin Heights (41) and Mount Vernon (36). Matt Swisher won the pole vault (13-6) and Bobby Oliver was second (13-6, on jump). Kyle Edwards was third (51.66) in the 400.

Juniors Hyeon Woo Bae and Spencer Deighton comprised Delaware’s second-doubles team and classmate Nick Tanuredjo played third singles. Also expected to return are freshman Nate Mikles and junior Stephen Tackett, who is expected to compete for a singles spot next season with Byerly, Homan and Tanuredjo. Tanuredjo was selected the team MVP, with Tackett being the most-improved player. Deighton was selected team captain for next season. •The girls lacrosse team’s inaugural season concluded May 16 when it lost to host Olentangy Liberty 17-4 in a play-in game in the Division I North/Central regional tournament. Katie Barnhart scored two goals. Also scoring were Taylor Henderson and Harlee Mollenkopf. Kaitlyn Scott made 15 saves. The Pacers finished 3-9-1 overall and 0-4-1 in the OCCCentral. “We’re a first-year high school team that only had five girls who had ever played the sport before, so we were just hoping to win one game,” coach Brian Mollenkopf said. “The other 21 (players on the roster) are brand new to the sport. I thought the girls did a tremendous job and had a phenomenal season because they grew together as a team and were a dream to coach.” Delaware will lose two seniors in Sarah Ray and Lauren Smith. Coach Mollenkopf expects at least 10 eighth-graders to join the program next season, and he said all of them have two or three years of lacrosse experience. “I anticipate more than 20 girls returning and we will add at least 10, so we should have a varsity and j.v. team next year,” he said. “That will mean more playing time and experience for all of them. I think next season we’ll be able to get more into plays and other things, more into the meat of the sport rather than just teaching lacrosse 101.” Still, coach Mollenkopf said a lot of improvement must be made in groundballs and faceoffs, which would lead to better transition play. “We need to be better passing and become more confident,” he said. “Groundballs and faceoffs were weaknesses and to be

“I thought Holly Bach showed great improvement,” coach Ferrigno said. “She went from going into each at-bat hoping not to strike out to going into each at-bat with confidence and eagerness to get a hit. I think Jessica Kapraly will give us some pitching depth next season and she’s just a great athlete. “I think the team was energized with our new assistant coach, Tenille Schoonover. They listened well to her because she is a female who played the game and has a great knowledge of the game. She was a big addition this season.” •The baseball team finished 3-8 overall after losing to Tree of Life 16-2 in the first round of the Division IV district tournament May 9. It was a tough final week of the season for the Eagles, whose lack of pitching depth coupled with sore arms led to some ugly losses. After the tournament loss, the Eagles dropped regular-season MOCAL games to Tree of Life 21-3 on May 12 and to Fairfield Christian 23-5 on May 13 to finish 1-8 in league play. They had hoped their lone league win — 13-4 over Grove City Christian on May 6 — would give them momentum entering the tournament. “For the most part, with the exception of the last week, it was a good starting place to begin the program after two years without baseball,” said Sharon Copley, who served as co-coach with Mike Bess. “We saw some improvement during the season, despite not getting a chance to play regularly. The kids genuinely want to learn,

so it was frustrating to not get more outside practices. Indoor practices aren’t very conducive to learning because we shared the gymnasium with softball teams.” The Eagles finished last in the MOCAL behind Tree of Life (8-2), Fairfield Christian (7-2), Grove City Christian (63), Madison Christian (3-6) and Grove City Christian (2-5). Like the softball team, there was a noticeable difference in skill level between the younger players, many of them new to the sport, and some of the older players. “It’s tough to build continuity throughout the lineup, as well as in the field,” Copley said. “We had some good pitching, but we had some younger boys a little timid on defense. We weren’t aggressive on defense. Maybe they were afraid to let the ball get past them, afraid to make an error. “We do need to develop more pitching depth and get in some hard work on the basics. We’ve got to at least make contact in the second part of the batting order to move runners. We need to work hard at judging fly balls. Some of it will come from experience and maturity, but we’re just hoping for drier and warmer weather next spring so we can work on all of those things.” The Eagles lose one senior in Hughie Kerins, a shortstop and pitcher. Expected to return are junior Jeffrey Copley (P/3B), sophomores Michael Derosiers (OF), Pete Kerins (2B/CF/P), Joe Miser (1B/P), Michael MandicNowac (OF/1B), Carl Stover (C) and Matt Watts (3B/OF), and freshmen Wyatt Bess (OF),

Matt Gessner (OF), Matt Gray (OF/1B), Paul Reeves (OF) and Jacob Saliba (P). The Eagles were outscored 144-64 and the team batting average was just below .200. Pete Kerins (.391, 14 runs, 5 doubles) led the team in batting average, followed by Hughie Kerins (.276, 12 runs), Miser (.256, 7 runs, 5 RBI), Jeffrey Copley (.244, 9 runs, 10 RBI) and Saliba (.217, 10 runs). Jeffrey Copley and Pete Kerins were second-team allMOCAL. Stover and Hughie Kerins were honorable mention. •Sophomore Lenora Boyer won the long jump with an effort of 15 feet, 8 3/4 inches in the Division III district girls track and field meet, which began May 17 at Gahanna and concluded May 21. Boyer was the only athlete to score for the girls or boys team on the first day of the meet. The top four finishers in each event advanced to the regional meet on Wednesday, May 25, and Friday, May 27, at Fairfield Union. Boyer set a league record in the MOCAL meet May 14 at Worthington Christian when she recorded a 15-10 in the long jump. Also winning events in the league meet for the girls were Sarah Harp (discus), Maya Gross (300 hurdles) and the 1,600 relay of Katy Sullivan, Gross, Harp and Boyer. The Eagles tied for third. Jeremy Buchanan also set a league record in the long jump (18-11 3/4) as the boys team finished fourth. bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

EAGLES Continued from page B1 Finishing first for the Golden Eagles were the 3,200-meter relay of sophomore Bethany Bogantz, senior Brittney Bogantz, freshman Catie CraigBowden and senior Lincoln Green (9 minutes, 54.85 seconds), the 400 relay of senior Julia Evans, junior Callie Carioti, freshman Olivia Small and sophomore Leah Thomas (50.0), the 800 relay of Small, Carioti, freshman Jamie Annis and junior Brea Medlock (1:47), Medlock in the 400 (59.56) and Small in the long jump (17 feet, 1/2 inch). “We take a lot of pride in our relays,” said Evener, whose 1,600 relay of Annis, junior Liz Carty, Bethany Bogantz and Medlock placed second (4:10.83). “We won three of the four relays, and we won five events. I really didn’t expect to have that kind of success.” The boys team scored 103 points in the OCC-Capital meet to finish third, behind Watkins Memorial (156) and New Albany (155) and ahead of Bradley (82), Orange (60), Franklin Heights (41), Mount Vernon (36) and Delaware (27). Finishing first for the Golden Eagles were senior Luke Atkeson in the 110 hurdles (14.73), senior Tyler Fifer in the high jump (6-2) and senior Jacob Walaszek in the shot put (47-1). “We had a pretty good showing; we had kids step up,” coach Eric Myers said. “We just ran into a buzzsaw in Watkins and New Albany. They were just too strong for us. Their depth … hurt us.” •Chances are members of the baseball team won’t forget their game against fifth-seeded Granville in the second round of the Division II district tournament anytime soon. First-year coach Chris Holly won’t. The May 12 game went back and forth before eighth-seeded Big Walnut won 19-17 to advance to a district semifinal for the first time since 2004. “It was pretty crazy,” Holly said. “I’m sure it was nice to watch as a fan, but it was a little stressful as a coach.” Big Walnut scored four runs in the top of the first inning, only to see Granville score two runs in its first at-bat. The Golden Eagles added another run in the top of the second, but the Blue Aces answered with seven runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 9-5 lead. Big Walnut scored three runs in the top of the third, including a solo home run by junior first baseman/outfielder Grant Beam, to trim its deficit to 9-8, but Granville scored two runs in the bottom of the inning to make it 11-8. After a scoreless fourth inning, the Golden Eagles scored three runs in the top of the fifth to tie the game at 11, but Granville answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning to go ahead 14-11. Big Walnut, however, erupted for eight runs in the top of the sixth to take a 19-14 lead. Granville scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth, but the Blue Aces were retired in order in the seventh by senior pitcher Tyler Beam, who replaced senior Dillon Walls on the mound in the fifth and got the win. “It was a great offensive

Sports briefs game,” Holly said. “We had a lot of guys with two (or more) hits. Everybody contributed. We were sitting back waiting for our pitch. We had a lot of good, quality at-bats.” Big Walnut had a season-high 25 hits, including four by senior shortstop Joe Curran, whose performance raised his batting average to team-high .573. •The boys tennis team was represented in the Division I district tournament May 20-21 at Hilliard Davidson by the doubles team of senior Sam Lawless and junior Nathan Randall. The top four finishers in doubles at district advanced to the state tournament on Friday, May 27, and Saturday, May 28, at Davidson. Big Walnut has not had a state qualifier since Steve Mudre in 1986. Lawless and Randall advanced to district after placing third in the sectional tournament May 12 and 14 at Davidson, beating Worthington Kilbourne’s Sam Lazaroff and Roger Juang 6-1, 6-1 in the consolation final. The top four finishers in singles and doubles at sectional qualified for district. Lawless and Randall won their first three matches at sectional to secure a district spot. They then lost to Dublin Jerome’s Kent Seitz and Sean Stein 6-2, 6-4 in a semifinal. Also competing at sectional for the Golden Eagles were juniors Nate Fagan, Dan Violet and Cory Walters in singles and the doubles team of junior Russell McMurry and sophomore Sean Tribble. Violet won his first two matches before losing to Gahanna’s Jesse Shivener 6-0, 62 in a quarterfinal, and McMurry and Tribble won their first two matches before losing to Gahanna’s Stephen Cheng and Canyon Teague 6-0, 6-0 in a quarterfinal. Fagan won his first match before losing in the second round, and Walters lost in the first round. •The girls lacrosse team closed its season with an 18-12 loss to Gahanna in an OCCCentral game on May 16. A third-year club program, Big Walnut finished 3-9-1 overall and 1-4-1 in the OCC-Central under first-year coach Steve Palmer. The Golden Eagles finished 3-12-1 last season after going 0-11 in their inaugural season in 2009. “I told (the players), the biggest thing we’re proud of as coaches is that we grew as a team and learned what it takes to be a team,” Palmer said. “We learned how to play through the highs and how to play through the lows. We learned valuable lessons or information this year that should help us next year.” Big Walnut defeated the Hartley junior varsity 6-3 on April 18, Marysville 14-5 on April 28 and Pickerington Central 10-9 in a league game on May 2. It tied Delaware at 8 in a league game on May 9. “We got blasted a couple times, but we’re not at the level of those teams yet,” Palmer said. “We were competitive against the teams at our level.” The Golden Eagles lose five seniors in Christa Ford (attacker/midfielder), Kennedy Gardner (defender), Carly Nunn (attacker), Jillian Ward (attacker) and Emily Watson (attacker).

Ford and Gardner were threeyear players. Ford was third on the team with 13 goals and Watson was fourth with 10. Expected to return are juniors Nici Bregel (goalkeeper), Shelby Coulter (attacker), Brittany Daubenspeck (defender) and Schuyler Kuhlman (midfielder/attacker), sophomores Sarah Nelson (defender), Jackie Patterson (attacker) and Lizzie Ruhl (defender) and freshmen Cynthia Grether (midfielder/defender), Jordyn McGurer (defender) and Janie Serna (defender). Coulter led the team with 25 goals and Kuhlman was second

with 16. Also expected to return is eighth-grader Lexie Adams, an attacker/midfielder who played “three or four” games according to Palmer and scored three goals. Adams was eligible to play because lacrosse isn’t an OHSAA-sanctioned sport and doesn’t have to abide by its rules, Palmer said. “We have a good group of juniors coming back, a good corps coming back,” Palmer said. “Out of the 11 coming back, a lot started or got a lot of minutes.” pdolan@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Tics in children are quite common

Radnor alumni to be honored

Summerfest seeks vendors, sponsors

Two members of the Radnor/Radnor Area Buckeye Valley Alumni Association will be honored on June 4 during the group’s annual banquet. The late James “Jim” Bosh and Roy Plymale will be recognized for their contributions to the Radnor community. Bosh, a U.S. Army veteran, retired from PPG in 1996 after working there 30 years. He and his wife, Mary Lou Faulkner, had five children. Bosh coached Little League baseball at Radnor and also umpired and prepared the ball diamond for games. He died in August 2009. Plymale and his wife Carol recently celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary. A U.S. Army veteran, he served for 14 months in Korea as a combat engineer specializing in mines and demolition. At home, Plymale was a member of the Radnor Volunteer Fire Department and a Boy Scout leader. In the last few years, Plymale has served as an unofficial curator of the Radnor Museum. Banquet reservations may be made by calling (740) 369-6473.

The Greater Galena Civic Association will host its second Summerfest on Saturday, Aug. 27, in Galena. The planning committee is seeking vendors, sponsors and advertisers. Summerfest 2011 is being coordinated in conjunction with Sunbury’s Sizzle and Sounds event on the same day. The plan is to schedule bands and shuttles between the villages so that festival attendees can enjoy both events. Art booths and food vendors will set up on the Galena Village Square, along with areas for home and garden and boating and fishing vendors. Bands will play from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. A beer garden will include the entire square. Ruffner Park will be the site of the KidZone, with bounce houses and other kid-friendly activities. Artists’ spaces are available for $50 to $75. Food vendor spots are $200 to $300; and other vendor spots are $100 to $200. Sponsorships range from $500 to $3,500. To discuss a sponsorship or a vendor’s spot, e-mail GreaterGalena@gmail.com. For more information, visit the GGCA’s website at www.DiscoverGalenaOhio.com. Summerfest last was held in 2009, when it attracted 4,500 people.

Tics are sudden, involuntary, repetitive movements (motor tics) or sounds (vocal tics). The most common motor tics are frequent eye blinking, nose twitching and head shaking. Common vocal tics include humming, grunting or saying actual words. Some of these tics are complex and include large parts of the body (kicking, stamping). About 3 million to 6 million Americans experience tics regularly. Tics are more common in children, where one in four has a tic during the school years. Tics are five times more common in boys than in girls. Nine out of 10 children who have tics, however, will experience significant improvements in the symptoms by they time they reach adulthood. Tics are the most frequent symptom of Tourette syndrome, though it isn’t the only symptom. For a patient to be diagnosed as having TS, he or she has to have motor and vocal tics for at least one year. Impulsivity, attention deficit disorder, at-

tention deficit hyperactivity disorder and o b s e s s ive compulsive behaviors ( r e p e t i t ive thoughts and PEDRO movements) WEISLEDER are commonly seen in patients with TS. Cursing, which is the most publicized symptom of TS, is exceedingly rare. Stress sometimes can make tics more severe, frequent or longer in duration. Many children with tics report the urge to perform said tic, though some can suppress this for a short time. As tension builds, though, it eventually has to be released as a tic. If a child is concentrating on controlling a tic, it might be difficult to focus on other tasks, such as schoolwork. Because tics are outside a child’s control, children should not be disciplined for exhibiting them. In most patients, the symptoms of TS are mild and not nec-

essarily an indication of a more serious disorder. For that reason, physicians at Nationwide Children’s Hospital tend to avoid prescribing medications for the condition. Moderate to severe cases of TS can be treated with psychological therapy (habit-reversal therapy) or one of a series of prescription medications. It is important to know, however, that there is no single medication that is helpful to all individuals with tics or TS. For more information on tics and TS, as they relate to children, parents should consult their primary-care physician. Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers treatment for severe cases, and more information is available from the Tourette Syndrome Association of America. Visit www.tsa-usa.org. Dr. Pedro Weisleder is associate professor and director of the child-neurology residency program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital — The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
