New interchange could bring growth to area By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Construction is not likely for another three years, but the Ohio Department of Transportation expects to make decisions this year that could lead to a second Interstate 71 exit near U.S. Route 36. During their May 23 work session, Delaware County commissioners dis-

cussed an economic impact study that says a second I-71 interchange could generate nearly $1 billion a year by 2030 for the area. The study was conducted by BaxStarr Consulting Group and predicts growth from 2012 through 2039. The county paid $40,000 from its Community Development Block Grant Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund for the

study. County economic development director Gus Comstock said the interchange could become a reality in less than three years if a developer with significant job potential expresses an interest in the project. Ferzan Ahmed, Ohio Department of Transportation District 6 deputy director, told ThisWeek two developers have

expressed interest in a new interchange. Weiler-Nationwide Realty has expressed interest in an interchange north of the existing exit. Developer Pat Shivley, president of Guaranteed Co., has expressed interest in an interchange south of the current exit. Both developers’ engineers completed traffic studies. While both developers have expressed desire to fund the proj-

ect, “We have not seen anything definitive,” Ahmed said. Ahmed told ThisWeek that the current interchange has a great deal of congestion, which is causing traffic accidents. ODOT had been examining these safety concerns at the same time that developers were looking at the area. This, he See NEW INTERCHANGE, page A2

Big Walnut Elementary students visit farm By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

About 85 Big Walnut Elementary third-grade students visited Price Farms Organics in Radnor Township on May 24. The day trip was made possible by fellow student Mary Gray, whose essay won an all-expensespaid trip from the Ohio Livestock Coalition. The coalition sponsored the statewide essaywriting contest for third-graders who answered the question, “How do Ohio farmers make sure we have good, safe food to eat?” Students used educational materials provided by the coalition and available at www.ForYourInFarmation.com. The materials explain livestock

farming and provide industry related data, such as Ohio has 75,000 farms and more than 50 percent of Ohio’s land mass is used for agricultural purposes. The essays reflected what students learned about food production, from the farm to the kitchen table. Gray said she was most surprised to learn that Ohio ranks first in producing Swiss cheese and eighth in the production of ice cream. Tom Price participated in the program, inviting the students to visit his family farm and composting business. The 360-acre farm raises hogs and cattle, grows soybeans and hay, and composts the manure with yard waste and recyclaSee BIG WALNUT ELEMENTARY, page A2

At five years old, Grace Community School is outgrowing its nest. The Christian faith-based chartered private school plans to leave its location at the Salvation Army Greenwood Conference Center at 340 Lake St. for more space at 715 W. William St. Lifepoint Church, previously at that location with Toddler Inn Daycare Center, has moved to 7719 Graphics Way, Suite B in Lewis Center. Contingent upon a lease agreement between Grace and Lifepoint, Toddler Inn Daycare, which has an enrollment of about 70 children, will close this summer. Grace, which plans to lease to buy from Lifepoint, will also sublease to Baracka Church, which will use the facilities primarily on Sunday morning and evening and sometimes Wednesday night. The move will give Grace an opportunity to offer preschool next school year for 3- to 5-year-olds. The school currently offers kindergarten through seventh grade, and has an open enrollment admissions policy. School administrator Phil Mears said he’s expecting at least 25 preschool students. Enrollment is at 75 now, and with preschool enrollment Mears predicts total enrollment could reach, 100 by next school year. Eventually, the school plans to add eighth grade classes. “We need more facilities,” Mears said, saying the school had been looking for a new location for a couple of years. Grace plans to move into the new facility the week of July 1. School starts Aug. 29 for first- through seventh-graders, Aug. 30 for kindergartners, and Sept. 6 for preschoolers. The new location has 10,130 square feet and sits on about 4.53 acres, 2.53 acres of which are in Delaware Township. The lot features a sanctuary that can hold between 150 and 175 people, a commercial kitchen, eight classrooms and three office rooms. “We wanted a place we could grow into,” Mears said. Classroom size at the new facility will be 50 See CHARTER SCHOOL, page A2

there to be a funding shortage once the projects go out to bid. “We are extremely confident that we will not have to prioritize anything,” he said. At the meeting, Milner, who is chairman of the recreation field subcommittee, voiced concern over starting rehabilitation in a timely manner since the YMCA community center would be com-

pleted about the end of September. People interested in field improvements will question what has been done so far, he said. “Your constituents are going to come looking for you, or they’re going to come looking for us to find out who delayed these projects, because we have See DELAWARE, page A3

percent larger on average. The building sits on two acres of land with two playgrounds. Mears said he plans to add about 2,000 square feet onto the existing facility within five years. After five years, he would build a second facility on the 2.5 acres of township property adjacent to the existing building. The new facility would have room for a gymnasium and additional classrooms. Grace currently employs six full-time and four part-time teachers. Mears said he plans to hire two full-time elementary teachers. During the Delaware City Council meeting on May 23, vice mayor Windell Wheeler voted against approving a conditional use permit for Grace. Windell told ThisWeek that he didn’t get enough information about how the land that’s still in the township would be used, since the city wouldn’t have jurisdiction over it. “I just didn’t feel like we had sufficient information on the use of it,” he said. During the meeting, Mears said he plans to renovate the township property, which has an old playground. He said a long-term goal, if the city permits, is to annex the township property into the city. He said the school does not plan to sell the township property.

New interchange could bring growth to area Continued from page A1 said, is how the concept of an entirely new interchange originated. Comstock said, “Certain traffic requirements would place a southern interchange exit ... somewhere just south of the old truck weigh station. A northern interchange would not be as far north.” The weigh station is on I-71 about a mile south of the existing interchange. Now, ODOT is using its own engineer to determine whether improvements should be made to the existing interchange, or whether a north or south interchange should be constructed, Ahmed said. “It is most likely that the solution would be a new interchange,” he said, adding that decision will be made by Thanksgiving. Ahmed said that he wasn’t surprised that the study projections show so much growth. “The whole area is ripe for development,” he said.

Bill LaFayette, vice president of economic analysis at the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, told ThisWeek the study “shines a light on the opportunity” in the area. “I think that the potential for this kind of development really does exist,” he said. The BaxStarr study predicts an annual economic impact of $965 million in 2030. This number includes wages, purchases by the industries and employees spending their earnings on goods and services. According to the study, a new interchange could bring in $332.2 million in wages by 2030 from jobs in the areas of retail, office, hotel and industrial. The study used the IMPLAN model, a software program first developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forestry Service to perform impact analysis for planning. IMPLAN’s database includes Ohio and Delaware County data for more than 500 industrial sectors and the ways in which those sectors in-

teract with each other, households and government agencies. The study also incorporated real estate forecasts and population and economic forecasts from the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, Comstock said. The Ohio Department of Transportation recently approved $5 million for preliminary engineering studies for improvements planned at the Interstate 71 and state Route 36 interchange. The total project cost is $114.1 million, of which $65.2 million would be for an interchange feeder road renovation. The county would fund that portion. Comstock said funding sources for the $48.9 million for the cost of the interchange itself haven’t yet been determined. The study estimated any economic impact wouldn’t begin until about 2015, since most business growth would require roads and other utilities.

Big Walnut Elementary students visit farm Continued from page A1 ble material like coffee grounds. “We’re getting kids three to four generations removed from the farm and agriculture,” Price said, as to why he takes the time from his busy schedule to host such tours. “It used to be you had someone close, a grandfather or uncle to visit to see how farms work. Today, people are far removed from being able to do that.

There’s been an effort from the agricultural community to reach out and have farmers meet with kids and let them ask questions, and they always have a lot of questions.” The students divided into smaller groups and visited several stations, including a barn housing 3-month-old pigs weighing about 90 pounds each, the composting site with mounds of various kinds of compost and an informational display by the Ohio Pork Pro-

ducers Council. Gray said she was really excited about the tour, and having raised two pigs, she was familiar with the process. She enjoys writing and was grateful for the guidance of Doug Germann, teacher of gifted students. “It was fun and challenging and I love writing,” Gray said. “I want to thank Mr. Germann, who taught us about conjunctions and writing essays.”

Teachers sent the top five essays from the school, said Mendi Priestas, Gray’s classroom teacher. “The theme fit what the students were learning about communities,” Priestas said. Germann said the students were very excited by the opportunity. “This year we had no field trips because of budget cuts,” Germann said. “So this is a wonderful perk for the whole third grade.”

Sunbury Creamery

Village to display vintage drawings By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Those visiting Sunbury’s town hall and municipal building starting June 1 will see some history on display. The village of Sunbury will display two architectural drawings from the Sunbury Co-Operative Creamery. The drawings, both dated 1918, were donated to

the village by Sunbury resident Terry Fravel. Fravel worked for 30 years at the Nestle plant, where the creamery was originally housed. He had been given the drawings by the plant manager when Nestle shut down, and had kept them in his house. The framed two-foot by threefoot drawings had been hanging in the engineer’s office at the plant since about

1980, when they were discovered in storage. “He knew that I would take care of them,” Fravel said, saying that he had kept them at his house “to protect them, more than anything else.” Fravel contacted the village to see if anyone was interested in displaying them. Village council president Tommy Hatfield said he appreciates that Fravel made

the drawings available to the village. “It’s nice to have those kind of pictures available to keep for historical reference,” Hatfield said. According to the Big Walnut Area Historical Society’s website, a group of farmers and businessmen organized the Sunbury Co-Operative Creamery in 1892. At stations in Center Village, Kilbourne, Cheshire, Marengo and Condit, cream

was separated and delivered by horse and wagon to the Sunbury plant, where it was made into butter and cheese. The Sunbury plant produced 500 pounds of butter each day, sold for 25 cents a pound. The butter was shipped all over the country. In 1918, the creamery was sold to John Wildi Evaporated Milk Co., and a year later the company consolidated with Nestle.

Delaware city parks improvements suggested by panel Continued from page A1 this beautiful rec center and we have absolutely no field improvements to show for it because we’re dragging our feet,” Milner said. Council approved a selection of improvements to Mingo and Smith parks for this summer’s construction season. The city engineer’s office will take the projects out to bid. The projects will come back to council at some point before the bid is awarded, Milner said. That should be either during the council’s last meeting in June or the first meeting in July. At Mingo, improvements include soccer field grading, reconstruction of the walking path, construction of a new parking lot and rehabilitation of the old parking lot. At Smith, improvements include reconstruction of the

walking path, softball field rehabilitation, and construction of a new parking lot. Construction is projected to begin between Aug.15 and Sept. 30. Milner told ThisWeek that council ultimately has to vote on park improvements. Generally, however, they agree with committee recommendations. “You’d think that it would be left up to the committee that’s worked on this for the last twoand-a-half years, but it appears that some members of council would like to make those decisions,” he said. During the meeting, council member Lisa Keller asked, “How does a committee come before city council and recommend a plan that’s short $272,000?” “These numbers get changed daily. If you want a plan that shows that we are exactly on the nose, we can do that. … We can

adjust all those numbers to where it shows zero. Is that what you want?” Milner asked. Keller said no, saying, “I don’t understand how I’m supposed to approve this, or say that I’m in support of this when we’re saying we want more things than we have the money to pay for.” “If we don’t have enough money, we can’t get all these things,” Milner responded. Director of engineering services Bill Ferrigno said the estimates are as close as they could get with “preliminary concepts regarding the improvements. “When we have real bid costs, then we’ll know exactly what each one of these items are,” he said. Keller also requested that council add the splash pad being discussed for Houk Road to the list of improvements. “In the field committee’s defense, this was not something that

was in their planning process or on their radar the entire way through.” Instead, she said, it had been discussed by the city building committee. “If we’re $272,000 short, what’s another $300,000?” Keller said of the splash pad, which council ultimately added to the list. The six-member recreation field subcommittee also includes representatives of youth sports organizations that use the fields,

the city’s recreation department and the city school district, Milner told ThisWeek. The committee worked on the parks improvements list since the beginning of 2009. “Every one of these improvements is absolutely needed,” Milner said. At Mingo Park, future possible improvements include the demolition of the bathroom and concession stand outside the new recreation office. Another build-

ing containing a restroom and concession stand would be built. At Smith Park, two buildings containing restrooms and concession stands would be built. Half-court basketball courts would be added to Stratford and Kensington parks. At Houk Road Park, a large and small playground would be added, along with a few shelters, one concession stand and a restroom building.

Just thinking

Fine feelings gone after the mail came People often become depressed as they age, and I think I’m beginning to see why. Scientists no doubt are looking into this trend, and while I’m sure they’d be interested in my observations, I don’t know any of them personally. If I did, I’d shoot them an e-mail. Dear Scientists, (I’d say if I was put in touch with the right people), You want to know why people become depressed as they age? I’ll tell you why. People become depressed as they age because they start receiving mail like the tri-fold postcard I found in my mailbox the other day. “WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE” the postcard began. You might think that sounds promising, but in my experience, truly pleasant announcements are never made in uppercase letters. Top-tier colleges don’t start acceptance letters with “WH-O-OO-O-O-A!!! YOU’VE BEEN ACCEPTED TO YALE, BRO!!!” The corporate world doesn’t bellow out important job offers like hotdog sellers at the ball game: “YO! YOU’VE EMERGED AS OUR TOP CANDIDATE!” Probate lawyers don’t announce small bequests in great big type: “LISTEN UP!!! YOUR COUSIN DIED AND LEFT YOU $50 AND 16 AMERICAN BULLDOGS!” So anyhow. My postcard began, “WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE,” and then it went on: “You may qualify for the Funeral Advantage Program.” The Funeral Advantage Program. Meaning, I guess, not just a plain old funeral, but a funeral with advantages. Doesn’t that sound like a barrel of laughs. Never mind what I might have hoped I qualified for. A crate of Florida oranges, maybe. Membership in a joke-of-the-month club. A chance to base jump off that bridge in West Virginia. The Funeral Advantage Program wouldn’t have been on my list. Who opens the mail thinking, “I hope some funeral advantages are in here?” I don’t even know what a funeral advantage is, beyond the obvious advantage of its being somebody else’s funeral. Well, I should say I didn’t know what they were then. Now I know that one funeral advantage, at least, will pay my fami-

ly an insurance cash benefit of as much as $20,000 tax free. Or, as this enthusiastic postcard puts it, TAX MARGO FREE. Wo w z e r , BARTLETT right? Except for that one phrase: “in the event of your death.” Yes, no cash benefit for my family unless I die. This outfit might make the trade without a second thought, the way people trade two nickels for a dime, but I have a different perspective on the matter, and nothing expresses that perspective more succinctly than my own phrase, “unless I die.” Not “until I die,” you notice. “Until I die” leaves no room for luck or miracles, and who among us doesn’t leave room for those things, just in case? “Unless I die” suggests I may opt out of that directive. I haven’t decided yet. The postcard goes on: “THOUSANDS OF OHIO RESIDENTS have been accepted so far …” Is this intended to instill a feeling of urgency in those of us who haven’t signed up for funeral advantages yet? Are we supposed to think we need to hurry, lest all the spots be filled up like seats on a roller coaster? But wait! The coaster looked full, but a seat is available for me after all. I can climb right in and hold

on tight. What this is all about, I’ve managed to glean through narrowed eyes, are funeral expenses. Funerals cost a lot of money, see, but the families of those who qualify for this program, offered by a strangely anonymous group or organization, will receive as much as $20,000 to help out. (Not $20,000, please note. As much as. Big difference.) And those who return the postcard today, the text adds, also receive a helpful booklet titled “My Final Wishes.” “Currently, you may qualify even if you have a health condition,” the postcard says. That’s really nice of it, isn’t it – to pay my family money even if my death is preceded by a health condition? Of course, it does say “currently,” suggesting that this Nice Thing might be snatched away without warning. But no pressure! Incidentally, when I say this offer is from “a strangely anonymous group or organization,” I mean nowhere on the postcard is any hint of the sender. Why are these generous givers of 20,000 TAX FREE dollars so shy? Don’t be bashful, sillies! We all want to meet our new bestest friends, the people whose postcard headline is “Funeral Advantage Program Assists Seniors.” And people wonder why we’re depressed.

Galena formalizes administrator duties By JENNIFER BOYTAR ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Galena Village Council on May 23 passed resolutions appointing Scott Jamison as village administrator. The resolutions created the part-time position and appointed Jamison for the balance of the 2011 calendar year. As administrator, Jamison’s duties will involve staff management, management of the public utilities and assisting the mayor. Mayor Tom Hopper said the appointment doesn’t change anything for Jamison, but brings authority to his position. “He’s still doing the same jobs, but Scott wears a lot of different hats and this is just putting a label on one of his hats,” he said. “There’s no change in job or pay.” Village solicitor Ken Molnar said the appointment is necessary for the administration of the public utilities, which can be run by a board of public affairs or a village administrator. A board of public affairs consists of three residents elected to the position. Molnar said he believed it would be difficult to fill those positions and recommended the administrators position instead. A separate resolution was read that would set a pay scale for the mayor, an idea proposed by Molnar. The base pay is $4,800 and can be increased up to $29,848 per year at the council’s discretion. Molnar said that, if passed, the increase is effective in the first year. “It can always be lowered,” Molnar said, “but

the statute prohibits pay increases so I went for the largest number I could.” To take effect, the resolution must be passed prior to a candidate-filing deadline for the next term. Council members honored lifetime resident Eldon Chambers for his years of service to the community. Chambers served on the village council for 16 years and was a long-time member of the parks and special events committee. He attended the Galena School, now the Big Walnut administration building, and was a member of the first graduating class of Big Walnut High School. Council also: • Heard village fiscal officer Marty Mazzie say that because of foreclosures and bankruptcies, the village is owed $6,596 in sewer fees and most likely will see only a fraction of that amount from liens placed on the foreclosed properties. • Heard Jamison say the Walnut Street lift station is inoperable due to a suspected clog in the lines. Necessary repairs will cause a four- to sixhour break in sewer services in the affected area. • Said Memorial Day services will begin at 1 p.m. on May 30 on the square and end at Galena Cemetery. • Appropriated $1,000 toward the cost of having police patrolling the square during the Summerfest festival slated for Aug. 27. The event, organized by the Greater Galena Civic Association, will be held on the village square. Interested sponsors, advertisers, and vendors can contact greatergalena@ gmail.com or visit www.discovergalenaohio.com.

Pacers set strong foundation for future By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Delaware Hayes High School softball team was one of the best in central Ohio this season. With several freshmen playing key roles, the Pacers could remain a toplevel team in years to come. The eighth-seeded Pacers lost to second-seeded Gahanna 7-6 in a Division I district final May 21 at Pickerington Central to finish the season 19-7. Delaware, making its first district final appearance since 2006, struggled early against the Lions, who won their second district title in three seasons. Delaware made two errors and a mental mistake in the first inning, and the Lions took advantage by scoring four times. “We made some young mistakes in the first inning that put us on our heels,” said coach Mark Thomas, whose team finished with four errors. “But I was so proud of the girls for the way they rebounded, chipped away and put the tying run on second base in the last inning. They never gave in, and (Gahanna coach) Jim Campolo even commented on that after the game.” Delaware trailed 6-0 before starting to rally on freshman Chandler Fields’ solo home run in the top of the third. Senior Carly Shaw and Fields added RBI singles in the fourth, but the Lions got a run back to make it 7-4. Senior Kalene Schmidt was hit by a pitch to begin the seventh and freshman Kaitlyn Woerner hit an RBI double to left field. With one out, freshman Mikayla Cooper lined an RBI double off the fence in right-center field, missing a tying home run by about two feet. “I thought she got it when it left her bat,” Thomas said. “I had to stop jumping up and down and get back to coaching. I’m tickled to see our fight, but it’s tough to lose and have to say goodbye to four terrific seniors.” Gahanna pitcher Brandis Fishel struck out the next two batters to end the game. Delaware reached the final by beat-

‘That kid’ Fifer soaring above competition

Weathering rain, Johnson reaches regional meet

By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

According to Big Walnut High School boys track and field coach Eric Myers, senior Tyler Fifer has made a name for himself this season. After all, despite being 5foot-6, Fifer has been one of the area’s top high jumpers this spring, having cleared a season-best 6 feet, 10 1/4 inches before competing in the event on the second day of the Division I regional meet, which was held May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North. Entering regional, the only area high jumper who had cleared a higher height was Brookhaven senior Nigel Preacher, who is 6-3 and has a seasonbest jump of 7-1/4 before competing in the regional. “I don’t want to compare him to a sideshow because he’s by no means a sideshow, but as we go around (to meets) we hear the chatter around central Ohio and see people pointing and saying, ‘There’s that kid,’”

Myers said of Fifer. “He’s pretty amazing. He’s had an incredible career. I couldn’t be happier with him. “Tyler’s just a great competitor. He has the ability to focus and put himself in a mental state where he’s ready to go. He also has incredible body control. If he did have a bigger frame and he had that control, he would be out of this world. But, as he is, he’s outstanding. But we kind of laugh about how he’s in the frame of a 5-6 kid and he’s out here long jumping and high jumping against kids who are 6-4, 6-5.” Fifer, who has signed to compete in track at Division II Ohio Dominican University, advanced to regional by placing first (66) in the high jump in the district 3 meet that concluded May 21 at Hilliard Bradley. He entered the regional unbeaten in the event this season. “No one beat me,” Fifer said. “That was a main goal of mine. I wanted to stay undefeated for the regular season, and I ended up doing that. It feels kind of

Lavonia Johnson just wanted another chance. The Delaware Hayes High School junior gave herself that chance in the finals of the discus competition in the Division I, district 1 track and field meet that concluded May 21 at Hilliard Bradley. Standing in the rain for her second of three throws, Johnson delivered an effort of 92 feet, 7 inches to help her finish third and advance to regional. The top four in each event advanced to regional, which was May 25 and 27 at Pickerington North. Johnson, the only regional qualifier for the Delaware girls, competed May 27.

But they didn’t and the show went on.” Johnson’s third-place throw was nearly 14 feet short of her seed of 106-4. Olentangy’s Adaora Anunike won the discus with a throw of 102-9, which was 14 1/2 feet short of her seed as the conditions took their toll on competitors. The Pacers scored 18 points to finish 11th in the 14-team field as Dublin Coffman (152) won. Johnson, a move-in this school year from Lima Shawnee, was sixth in the shot put (32-3) as Olentangy Liberty’s Halee Wex took the final qualifying spot (32-11 1/2). Delaware also placed sixth in three other events, with freshman Emily Richards involved in all three.

SOFTBALL Continued from page B1 non and Big Walnut (both 7-7), New Albany (5-9), Watkins Memorial (3-11) and Franklin Heights (1-13) followed. “It was the first league championship for these girls and my second if you include the freshman football championship in 2004,” Thomas said. “It was exciting. We wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what we did without the leadership and commitment of the senior class. We had five freshmen and two sophomores play regularly with those four seniors, and those seniors took everyone under their wings.” Schmidt (CF) batted leadoff and was first-team all-state, alldistrict and all-league after hitting .608 with 35 runs, 15 RBI and going 31-for-31 in stolenbase attempts. Bowman (SS, .425, 22 runs, 18 RBI, 20-for-20 stolen bases) was second-team all-league and Shaw (LF, .413, 17 runs, 21 RBI, 9 steals) was honorable mention. Hinten (1B/P) batted .368, with 14 runs and 21 RBI and was 2-2 with a 2.26 ERA. “Schmidt was our spark, made great things happen on the base paths and ran down so many balls in the outfield,” said Thomas, who was Coach of the Year in the OCC-Capital. “Bowman was our

defensive maestro and her communication with our young girls was outstanding on defense. She was a smart and important hitter. “Shaw only played with us for two seasons, but when she came out as a junior, she made impressive strides. She knows the game and was very valuable in left field with her scoop and shoots. Hinten was our main pitcher last year, pitched quite a bit early this season until Cooper got her feet wet and then moved to first base and let Cooper take over. She never complained or questioned a thing.” Starters expected to return are sophomore Alaina Manor (3B) and freshmen Lindsey Blair (2B), Cooper (P), Fields (designated player), Rebekah Hire (RF) and Woerner (C). Cooper was first-team all-district and all-league. Cooper batted .525 with 36 runs and 37 RBI and was 20-for20 in stolen-base attempts. She also had 13 doubles, six triples, six home runs and a 1.013 slugging percentage. In the circle, she was 17-5 with 143 strikeouts and a 1.52 ERA in 134 innings. “Cooper and Woerner are our dynamic duo and their love of the game, work ethic and knowledge will help them continue to get better,” Thomas said. “I think

All of our freshmen are hungry to do even bigger things in the future and that’s a fantastic sign.” Woerner (.376, 23 runs, 20 RBI) was honorable mention all-

league. Hire hit .356 with 13 runs and 15 RBI, and Fields hit .285 with 20 runs and 12 RBI. Also expected to return are junior outfielders Amber Arthur and Cassy Castle. bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Tournament finalist The Classics FC Premier U9 girls blue team was a finalist in the top division of the Mid-American Soccer Classic in Cincinnati on April 2-3. Competing against teams from the Cincinnati area and Kentucky, the girls finished second in a round-robin format with two wins and two ties.

Richards posted a 1:51.18 in the 800 relay behind fourth-place Olentangy (1:47.5) and Richards, Yannacey, Reid and Emily Mengerink finished the 1,600 relay in 4:13.40 as Big Walnut was fourth in 4:06.91. The Delaware boys scored 11 points to finish 15th in the 16-team district 1 meet as Thomas Worthington (87) won. Matt Swisher (13-6) edged teammate Bobby Oliver (13-0) for fourth place in the pole vault to qualify for regional, where he cleared 13-6 to tie for ninth place on May 25. Westerville Central’s Charlie Moushey (14-3) won the district title and Gahanna’s Jake Blankenship (16-0) won the regional title. Pickerington Central’s Grant Hammond (14-6) earned the final state berth. Swisher was the only regional competitor for the Delaware boys. “The Central District has proven to be the hot spot in the state for boys pole vault,” Graham said. “So it’s been difficult for Matt and Bobby to move on. But Matt was a two-time district qualifier in the toughest district in his specialty, so he’s got to be proud about that.” Senior Kyle Edwards was seventh (23.99) in the 200 at district. Kevin Girgis of Thomas (22.93) earned the final regional berth. •The boys lacrosse team played the Kettering Alter Knights in a quarterfinal of the club state tournament on May 28, with the winner playing at Big Walnut or Cincinnati Anderson in a semifinal on Wednesday, June 1. The championship will be Saturday, June 4, at Westerville Central. The other side of the bracket has Milford playing Dayton and Fairfield playing Springboro. Delaware opened the tournament by beating visiting Columbus City Schools 18-4 on May 21 to improve to 10-4. “Our defense has played well all season with Jordan Carlson, Xia Minich and Andrew Ward in front of goalkeeper Michael Duffy,” coach Dick Sanfillipo said. “Griffin Kinney has been great on the attack and Josh Bender has been right there with him. But our midfielders are the workhorses. Phoenix Neitzelt has well over 100 groundballs. They all have been outstanding, from Paul Golden to Jordan Zinader and Dominic Sanfillipo. Whoever gets in there seems to be getting it done.” Kinney and Bender scored four goals apiece against Columbus City Schools, with Golden getting three. Zinader and Charlie Darrough both scored twice. Also scoring were Neitzelt, Kyle Gabbert and Zach Kern. Duffy made two saves. “I’m extremely pleased we’re playing this well at this point in the season,” coach Sanfillipo said. “We’re clicking at the right time. We just have to keep focused and keep playing the way we’re playing.” •The baseball team underwent a youth movement and finished 12-12 overall and 6-7 in the OCCCapital Division, with a suspended game against Watkins Memorial never being completed. Delaware, which had one or two senior starters for most of the season, defeated visiting Walnut Ridge 28-2 in the first round of the Division I district tournament before losing at fourth-seeded Westerville Central 7-3 in the second round May 11.

scoring five runs on three hits. After the tournament loss, the Pacers lost to OCC-Capital champion New Albany 15-9 on May 12 and beat Olentangy Orange 93 on May 14 to close the season. New Albany finished 11-3 in league play and was followed in the standings by Orange (9-5), Mount Vernon (8-5), Watkins Memorial (both 8-5), the Pacers, Big Walnut (6-8), Hilliard Bradley (6-8) and Franklin Heights (013). The Pacers will lose seniors Alex Boger (C), Nick Ratliff (DH/P), Joe Weirtz (P) and Kyle Winston (OF). Ratliff batted .328 with 17 runs and 18 RBI and had an on-base percentage of .482 He also was 2-1 with a 5.12 ERA in 23 innings pitched, covering eight appearances. Boger batted .261 with 10 runs and 13 RBI. Weirtz was 0-2 with an 8.24 ERA and Winston batted .167. “These seniors took responsibility for all the actions of the team and were never willing to give in to any hurdle,” coach Mike Yinger said. “It was really good to see how mentally strong they were through all of the bad weather, and to be able to come back with a fresh mind and strong will made for a good experience in what could have been a negative one.” Expected to return are juniors Jacob Bosiokovic (P/INF),Aaron Heber (1B/P), Tyler Kidd (1B), Tyler Miller (P/SS), Ethan Nichol (OF), Austin Terry (OF), Kenton Ulmer (LF) and Jake Wright (P/RF), sophomores Alex Hohe (OF), Alex Rafeld (C) and Justin Vanhoesen (CF) and freshmen Colin Reed (3B), Jake South (OF), Greg Suber (3B) and Conner Ulmer (2B). Bosiokovic, who verbally committed to Ohio State last November, was first-team all-league and first-team all-district. He batted .500 with 36 runs, 32 RBI, eight doubles, one triple, seven home runs, a slugging percentage of .908 and an on-base percentage of .596. He also was 26-for-27 in stolenbase attempts. On the mound, Bosiokovic was 1-5 with one save and a 3.12 ERA in 33 2/3 innings. “Jacob told me he was 5-foot tall in the second grade,” Yinger said. “Like many athletes who develop quicker than their peers, Jacob started to wonder if he was as good as he was before. He needed to find his next gear. Jacob slumped for two weeks and his average was hovering around .400. After a few discussions, Jacob came back and ended the season with one of the more impressive runs I have seen.” Wright (5-0 with a 3.76 ERA in 25 2/3 innings) was secondteam all-league after going 4-0 in the OCC-Capital. Miller was special mention all-league and honorable mention all-district. He batted .304 with 14 runs and was 2-2 with a 2.18 ERA in 25 2/3 innings. Kenton Ulmer batted .304 with 19 runs and 14 RBI and was honorable mention all-league. Rafeld hit .282 with 15 runs and 17 RBI. Heber (.273, 11 runs, 13 RBI) followed in batting average. Vanhoesen (18 runs, 11 RBI) also was productive. “We are very excited with what we have coming back and, if the last week of the season is any indication of the years to come, it will be a lot of fun to compete at the highest level possible,” Yinger said.

EAGLES Continued from page B1 finished 14th at regional in the high jump last year after clearing 5-10. The top four finishers in each regional event advanced to the state meet Friday and Saturday, June 3-4, at Ohio State. “Technique-wise, he’s the best I’ve ever seen,” said assistant coach Mike Ryder, who works with the Golden Eagles’ high jumpers and long jumpers. “He doesn’t have a huge vertical, but he uses physics to propel his body over the bar.” Fifer also qualified for regional in the long jump, winning the event at district in a season-best 21-9. Also advancing to regional were Luke Atkeson in the 110-meter hurdles (first, 15.53 seconds) and 300 hurdles (third, 42.85), Nolan Leber in the 800 (third, 1:57.19), Jacob Walaszek in the discus (third, 140-0) and shot put (third, 46-7) and the 800 relay of Kenny Brown, Grant Corven, Gabe Kitchen and Drew Harmon (third, 1:31.63). The top four finishers in each event at district advanced to regional. Big Walnut scored 82.5 points in the district 3 meet to place third of 16 teams, behind Dublin Coffman (116.5) and Bradley (99.33) and ahead of fourth-place Lancaster (75.5). “Our guys who were there absolutely battled,” Myers said. “They got after it. Our district is tough. You start looking at the enrollment of some of the teams were competing against. I believe we are 28 boys over the limit (for Division II). We’re one of the smallest (Division) I teams, but we kind of conceded that thought about three years ago when we moved up to (Division) I. “It’s kind of a catch-22 with us. We’ve set the bar so high in recent years that the boys were disappointed about the thirdplace finish and that’s understandable, but they certainly have nothing to hang their heads about.” On May 25 at regional, Atkeson advanced to the final in the 110 hurdles by having the top time in the preliminaries (15.13). Also competing on May 27 were Fifer in the high jump, Leber in the 800 and Walaszek in the shot put. Also on the first day at regional, Fifer placed sixth in the long jump (21-6 3/4), Walaszek placed eighth in the discus (1388) and the 800 relay finished ninth (1:31.75). Atkeson was pulled from the 300 hurdles to focus on the 110 hurdles. •The girls track team scored 79 points in the Division I, district 1 meet that concluded May 21 at Bradley to place second of 14 teams, behind Coffman (152) and ahead of third-place Olentangy (77.5). “Getting second in a Division I district meet really speaks well of the season we’ve had this year,” coach Joe Evener said. “We’ve preached as coaches that every event counts, that every point counts, and when you get second place by a point and a half, that just proves that you should never give up and you should always fight for that extra inch, that extra second to get any point you can. “We don’t have that domi-

nating girl who can come into a meet and win four events for us. We get thirds, we get fourths, we get seconds and we just kind of chip away and we do it through 17 events. That’s how we’re designed and that’s what we did (at district). I’m so happy for the girls.” Qualifying for regional were Brea Medlock in the 400 (second, 59.55), Bethany Bogantz in the 800 (third, 2:23.94), Olivia Small in the long jump (second, 17-1/2), Leah Thomas in the 100 (fourth, 12.99), the 400 relay of Julia Evans, Callie Carioti, Small and Thomas (fourth, 50.36), the 800 relay of Small, Carioti, Jamie Annis and Medlock (third, 1:47.24), the 1,600 relay of Annis, Liz Carty, Small and Medlock (fourth, 4:06.91) and the 3,200 relay of Bethany Bogantz, Brittney Bogantz, Lincoln Green and Catie Craig-Bowden (second, 10:01.38). “I’ve never gotten all four relays to a Division I regional meet,” said Evener, whose team was in Division I from 2002 through 2007 and returned to Division I last season after being in Division II in 2008 and 2009. “That speaks highly of them and our depth.” On May 25 at regional, Medlock advanced to the final in the 400 by running 59.39 in the preliminaries. Also competing on May 27 were Bethany Bogantz in the 800 and Small in the long jump. Completing the season in the first day at regional were Thomas in the 100 (ninth, 13.11), the 3,200 relay (ninth, 9:55.78), the 1,600 relay (ninth, 4:07.93), the 400 relay (10th, 50.4) and the 800 relay (11th, 1:46.84). •The boys lacrosse team advanced to a quarterfinal of the OHSLA Club Division tournament for the first time in its four-year history. Big Walnut played at Cincinnati Anderson on May 28, with the winner advancing to play host to Delaware Hayes or Kettering Alter in a state semifinal on Wednesday, June 1. The semifinal winner will play Dayton, Fairfield, Milford or Springboro in the state final on Saturday, June 4, at Westerville Central. Anderson was 11-4 after beating Springfield 18-2 in the first round on May 24. Big Walnut lost to Delaware 10-3 on May 11 in an OCC-

Central Division game but has not played Alter or any of the teams that it would play in the final. The Golden Eagles opened the tournament with a 15-5 win over Marysville in a play-in game on May 19 and defeated Toledo Ottawa Hills 7-4 in the first round on May 21 to improve to 6-8 and advance to face Anderson. Against Ottawa Hills, midfielder Parker Marsch had four goals, attacker Jarrod Norton had two and midfielder Dean McMillen scored one. Goalkeeper Sawyer Lott had eight saves. Marsch had a team-high 26 goals through 14 games. •The baseball team ended its season with a 5-4, nine-inning loss to fourth-seeded DeSales in a Division II district final on May 21 at Grove City. Big Walnut finished 16-10 to post its first winning season since 2004. Seeded eighth, the Golden Eagles scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a 42 lead and maintained that lead until DeSales scored two runs in the top of the seventh off starting pitcher Tyler Beam. The Stallions scored the winning run in the top of the ninth off Blake Gulley, who had replaced Beam in the eighth. “We were up 4-2 going into the last inning. We needed two outs,” first-year coach Chris Holly said. “We had our chances, but they outhit us (106). They deserved to win. ... (The players) were upset (about the loss), but we played a good game.” Big Walnut, which won its only district championship in 1974, advanced to a district final for the first time since 2004 by beating third-seeded Hartley 51 in a district semifinal. The game began May 19 but was suspended because of bad weather in the bottom of the fourth with the Golden Eagles leading 2-1 and was completed the next day. Dillon Walls pitched a sixhitter. “He pitched the best game he’s pitched all year and he couldn’t have picked a better time,” Holly said. “We debated whether we would bring him back (May 20 after the game was suspended the previous day), but we did and he shut them down.” •The boys tennis team was

The relay finished eighth in 3 minutes, 23.05 seconds, becoming the Battling Bishops’ first indoor relay team to earn All-America honors.

represented by the doubles team of senior Sam Lawless and junior Nathan Randall in the Division I district tournament May 20-21 at Hilliard Davidson. The duo lost in the first round, falling 6-2, 6-0 to New Albany’s John Hendrix and Oliver Sybert. Lawless and Randall needed to win two matches at district to advance to state, which was held May 27-28 at Davidson. “We had a string of several years in a row where we had kids get to district,” coach Mike McDonough said. “That string was broken last year. To have (Lawless and Randall) get to district this year was really special.” Lawless and Randall advanced to district by placing third in the sectional tournament May 12 and 14 at Davidson. They went 4-1 at sectional, 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. “I thought they played really well (at sectional),” McDonough said. “I was very impressed with their play at sectional.” Big Walnut finished 15-4 overall, tying the program record for wins in a season. It went 52 in the OCC-Capital and finished the league tournament May

7 with 39 points to place third, behind New Albany (76) and Olentangy Orange (52) and ahead of Delaware (31), Bradley (24), Watkins Memorial (22), Franklin Heights (7) and Mount Vernon (6). “I think this is probably my favorite team because we had good depth and we had a lot of kids contribute,” said McDonough, who completed his seventh season leading the program. “I think that was neat.” Big Walnut loses two seniors in Lawless and Devin Trainer, but only Lawless, who played second singles during the regular season, was a regular starter. In addition to Randall, expected to return are juniors Sam Baldauf, Nate Fagan, Russell McMurry, Dan Violet and Cory Walters, sophomores Jeff Tribble, Sean Tribble and Chase Wilson and freshman Logan Adams. During the regular season, Randall played first singles, Violet played third singles, McMurry and Sean Tribble played first doubles and Baldauf, Fagan, Jeff Tribble and Walters rotated at second doubles. “Sam is going to be difficult to replace,” McDonough said. “Not only is he a very good tennis player, but he was the unofficial leader of our team. We didn’t have a captain this year, but if you asked the rest of the team, they would tell you that he was the leader. “But we do have a lot of players, a lot of experience returning. We’re definitely hopeful of having another good season next year.” •The softball team ended its

season with a 13-3, six-inning loss to top-seeded DeSales in a Division II district semifinal May 19 at Pickerington North. Big Walnut finished 13-16. “We had played DeSales earlier in the season (a 3-2 loss on March 31) and I think the girls were relaxed because they knew they could play with them,” coach Jeff Hatfield said. The Golden Eagles scored two runs in the top of the first of the tournament matchup but missed an opportunity to take a bigger lead by leaving the bases loaded. DeSales then scored three runs in the bottom of the first. Big Walnut tied the game at 3 in the top of the third, but DeSales reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the inning with a run. Starting pitcher Emily Petty had to leave the game during the Stallions’ at-bat that inning because of a rib injury that she sustained in the second inning when she was hit by a pitch from Kelsey Seeds. Petty was replaced by Allie Walker and DeSales went on to score two runs in the fourth, four in the fifth and three in the sixth to end the game. “Once Emily went out of the game and they had that one big inning (in the fifth), that took the air out of our sails,” Hatfield said. “We gave them two outs (in the fifth) and that’s something we’ve done all year, and against a team like (DeSales), you can’t do that.” Center fielder Tabatha Piper had two RBI and Petty had one. pdolan@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Financial finesse

Be prepared by getting pre-approved Despite countless stories about the troubles in the housing market, there are many options available. That said, the first step in determining whether or not to shop for that new home is to discuss your financial situation with a trusted mortgage professional and get pre-approved. A pre-approval is one of two common processes prospective homebuyers engage in before making an offer on a home; pre-qualification is the other. Both allow customers to begin the buying process with a good idea of what they can afford, but there are clear advantages to going one step beyond pre-qualification to get pre-approved. Pre-qualification uses a home-buyer’s financial information — income, debts and other monthly obligations, such as child support payments — to determine a buyer’s debt ratio. Depending on how much or how little is available for a down payment, this process helps to determine the size mortgage the buyer can afford and the type of mortgage that best meets the buyer’s needs. Pre-approval takes the approval process to the end — almost. Only a few items remain outstanding, such as an appraisal of the property and confirmation the buyer will have whatever

cash is needed for the closing. For a comparatively small fee — usually about $50 — lenders will work through the steps necessary to receive a mortgage. Buyers who get pre-apBRIAN proved know exactly which financial guidelines they are BURSTEIN working within. The pre-approved buyer has the lender’s approval for a specific mortgage amount. Lenders and real estate agents sometimes say pre-approval is the “same as cash,” which can often be an advantage in beating out other buyers. Searching for the right home, arranging a comfortable mortgage and closing the deal can be a challenging process. So doing a little legwork up front by becoming pre-approved can make the other challenges a whole lot easier. Brian Burstein is an area sales manager with Fifth Third Bank Mortgage.
