Mobile food vendor plan criticized By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

An amendment changing the way mobile food vendors operate was sent back to the Delaware City Planning Commission after it was criticized during the June 13 city council meeting. At issue is whether mobile food vendors should be allowed in the downtown

business district. Council reviewed a planning committee recommendation about the vendors that didn’t mention the downtown. A city staff report had recommended a downtown “exclusion zone” with no mobile vendors allowed, said community development director David Efland. Several residents and business owners told council mobile food vendors should

be excluded from downtown. The proposed code changes would define mobile food vendors and provide additional restrictions, Efland told ThisWeek. Currently, mobile food vendors can operate on private property with an owner’s permission up to 30 days a year, in increments limited to three days each. They must obtain a temporary use permit from the city and pay a $25 fee. If operating

within the downtown historic district, the vendors need the approval of the city’s Historic Preservation Commission. The planning commission recommendation would let a mobile food vendor operate up to 45 days downtown, without the preservation commission’s approval. Efland said the planning commission’s recommendation will now have to mention the downtown specifically.

Efland said the exclusion zone, which the city staff recommended, also would ban temporary outdoor sales and displays on property with frontage on Central Avenue and Sandusky, Spring, William, Winter, Franklin and Union streets, excluding corner properties. He told those at the meeting that moSee MOBILE, page A2

City selects architect for new fire station

‘PAINT OUT’

By SARAH SOLE

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Under a proposed sublease agreement between the YMCA of Central Ohio and Ohio Health, the Delaware YMCA could serve as a rehabilitation and physical therapy service center for residents. Three therapy rooms totaling about 265 square feet would be constructed next to the fitness center area within the building. The YMCA would pay for construction. The three therapy rooms would be exclusively used by Ohio Health. If the relationship proves successful, there could also be the possibility of a medical center addition. Any addition would then replace the three therapy rooms, said Paul Weber, YMCA of Central Ohio district vice president. Approval of the agreement would require Delaware City Council to amend its lease with the YMCA. Delaware community affairs coordinator Lee Yoakum said it isn’t likely that council will vote on the agreement at its next meeting. Ohio Health and YMCA affiliates got a chance to speak with council members about the proposal during a council meeting on June 13. A physical addition to the building for a partnership with Ohio Health was contemplated from the start, city manager Tom Homan said, and the agreement will formalize the plan. “It really is about an integrated model and not about leasing space,” said Gary Richards, Ohio Health director of capital development. This has been part of the initial conversation all along, said YMCA of Central Ohio president John Bickley, adding that all of the YMCA central branches have some sort of hospital relationship. While Ohio Health will pay rent, an amount hasn’t yet been determined, Weber said. “The most important thing is getting the space OK’d,” he said. Ohio Health patients would have access to the entire YMCA on days when they have therapy, Weber said, even if they’re not members

Though a contract hasn’t yet been awarded, the city has selected Mull & Weithman of Columbus and Michael Schuster Associates of Cincinnati as the architect team for the new fire station at the northwest corner of Lexington Boulevard and West Central Avenue. Total construction costs are approximately $1 million. The city will use about $900,000 in fire impact fee funds to pay for construction costs, and the rest will be paid for with fire levy funds, said Delaware community affairs coordinator Lee Yoakum. The design cost is estimated at $160,000. The city will build a new station similar to the Pittsburgh Drive substation. The building will cover from 9,000 to 10,000 square feet. This will be the city’s third fire station. Fire chief John Donahue said a large portion of emergency calls come from the northwest quadrant of the city, where the West Central property is located. Fifty percent of the time, the fire department arrives within six minutes of a call. The new location would increase that percentage to 70 percent. The fire department will be staffed by both new and veteran personnel, Yoakum said. The city will select a contractor later this year, Yoakum said. Construction will start late this year, and the station could open in late 2012. Council also selected Miller Valentine Group as the development team for the former Delaware Hotel site at 351 S. Sandusky St. Miller Valentine Group submitted one of four redevelopment proposals in February for low- and moderate-income senior housing. An evaluation team, including two Delaware City Planning Commission members and one member of the Ohio Wesleyan University community, reviewed the proposals. Miller Valentine proposed an 89-unit complex, costing about $18.5 million over three phases. A four-story building with 14 one-bedroom and 35 two-bedroom units would house 49 units. A threestory building with eight one-bedroom units and 18 two-bedroom units would hold a total of 26 units.

Sunbury council discusses tree replacement By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Sunbury Village Council on June 15 discussed whether to continue replacing trees in the public right of way. Village administrator Dave Martin said a Fayburrow Drive resident in Sunbury Estates had asked the city to replace a tree

in the right of way between the sidewalk and the curb, that had come down following a May 26 storm. While the village will replace the Fayburrow Drive tree, city attorney David Brehm will give council recommendations regarding tree replacement in the right of way to discuss at a future meeting, Martin told ThisWeek.

Martin said that five trees in Sunbury Estates have come down during the past few weeks, all within the right of way. The village plans to replace the trees. While the village is responsible for maintaining the trees in the right of way, a 2008 ordinance prevents new developments from planting trees in the right of way, or tree lawn.

These guidelines also specify what kind of replacement trees can be planted, Martin told ThisWeek. For example, if a tree lawn is eight to 10 feet wide, a large tree can be planted. In a six-foot wide tree lawn, a medium tree can be planted, and in a four-footSee SUNBURY VILLAGE, page A2

Mobile food vendor plan criticized Continued from page A1 bile food vendors have been a source of debate among the Historic Preservation Commission, the planning commission and council. Main Street Delaware director Frances Jo Hamilton said “leaving in an exclusion in this type of code speaks volumes to our downtown retail establishments.” Downtown real estate developer C.

Joseph Diamond said architectural standards in the historic district are a large part of the downtown’s revitalization. The proposed change would create an unfair situation for those who have made major investments within the city, he said. Downtown business owners are fragile right now, considering the economy, Diamond said. “Would you rather have trailers parking downtown or would you like to see restaurants and the investment

that we’ve seen in the downtown?” Council member Andrew Brush said he favors the exclusion zone, and council member Lisa Keller and mayor Gary Milner agreed. During a July 2010 meeting, planning commission members, led by Jim Halter, suggested that mobile food vendors were as likely to bring business downtown as to take it away. “You would have to do a lot of con-

vincing to persuade me that a person going downtown to go into Hoggy’s happens to be walking down there and sees this hot dog stand and turns to his wife and says, ‘You know, we can just stand out here and eat hot dogs,’” Halter said at the time. “That’s going to go over big.” Efland told ThisWeek council could see the proposal sometime by July. “It would help council if we could talk about and discuss including an exclusion

zone,” Efland said. While he said that all businesses need to compete, Efland said the transient nature of mobile food vendors means they aren’t making a commitment to the city like a traditional restaurant. They can “come and go as they please,” he added. “It makes some sense to me that we try to bolster our permanent longtime major investment property owners and businesses and our core downtown,” Efland said.

Sunbury Village Council to discuss tree replacement Continued from page A1 wide tree lawn, a small tree can be planted. Sunbury Meadows, in the southwest corner of the village, is the only development that has no trees in the tree lawn, Martin told ThisWeek. In the four years he has served as village administrator, the village probably replaced three trees in the tree lawn, he said. While all of these were within Sunbury Estates, Martin said the village is still replacing all trees in the tree lawn villagewide. Several years ago, before he worked at the village, Sunbury would routinely replace any tree

in the right of way, Martin told ThisWeek. A couple of years ago, after receiving complaints about pruned trees in the right of way, members of council discussed whether the village should replace the trees at all. “Nothing definitive was ever decided,” he said. While he wasn’t sure of a specific price for tree replacement, Martin said the cost comes out of

the village’s general fund. “We’re not talking about tons of money here,” he said. The village annually spends over $10,000 to maintain trees in the public right of way, parks, cemetery and the village square, Martin said. The money also covers leaf collection. The village has had some issues in the past with trees in the tree lawn breaking mirrors on snow

plows and school buses. Postal carriers have also had issues with trees blocking mailboxes, Martin told ThisWeek. “Those are all things to consider as to why you would not want to continue putting trees in the tree lawn,” he said. Still, Martin said he would like to see the village continue to replace trees, but paying closer attention to their size. During the meeting, council dis-

cussed some of the challenges associated with replacing trees. Council member Sean Currie said very few people take care of their trees. Council member David Linnabary discussed whether the city wanted to keep planting the same variety of tree if its growth would repeatedly prove challenging. “If it’s not a good idea, why do we keep doing it?” he said.

“I can’t say that I’ve definitely made up my mind as to what’s right and what’s wrong,” council president Tommy Hatfield told ThisWeek. While he personally loves trees, the village doesn’t want to put trees in areas that are going to cause continued maintenance, replacement and cost, he said. Right now, tree maintenance is not a widespread problem, Hatfield said.

Big Walnut calendar includes late-start days By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Big Walnut schools will have four late-start days during the 201112 school year. Students will arrive one hour later on those four days, when teachers will meet for professional development. Districts use late-start days for in-school training and curriculum development for teachers, said superintendent Steve Mazzi. The school board on June 13 approved the district calendar, which lists late-start Wednesdays on Oct. 12, Dec. 7, Feb. 1 and April 18. The district also will hold five teacher workdays for professional development. Two will precede the first day of school, which is Aug. 24. Mazzi said that with state and federal requirements always changing, such planning and curricu-

lum development times are needed. “The type of work in education, whether you’re involved in the Ohio Improvement Process, Race to the Top, (or) all the content standards that are coming down, are things that we really need to stay ahead of,” Mazzi said. “We have found over the course of this year, in trying to do without a curriculum director, that you really can’t stay ahead of those things. ... For us not to stay ahead of that game we’d be doing our district and our students a disservice.” The district has used late-start days for professional development in the past, but stopped several

years ago. “We need to allow teachers time during the day to do that,” Mazzi said. Board members also: • Heard that lunch prices would increase by five cents for the 201112 school year. The 2010-11 prices for lunch were $2.25 at the elementary schools and $2.50 at the middle and high schools. Cassy Sabatini, food service director, said the federal government sets minimum costs for full-pay lunches, and the district was below those requirements. The cost of a la cart items, such as sandwiches, will increase from $1.50 to $2. • Waived participation in the body mass index screening pro-

gram for a second year. Mazzi said it is an unfunded requirement by the state that would be too costly to perform. • Approved a contract with Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. of Columbus to have vending machines in the teachers’ lounges and at the high school. The district’s portion of the proceeds are the only source of revenue for the principals’funds, which pay for things such as awards for students. • Approved a contract for $780,418 for the 2011-12 school year with the Central Ohio Educational Service Center for special education services. The cost depends on the number of students needing the services.

Just thinking

Father’s Day: It’s not just a spin-off holiday It’s Father’s Day, a holiday created to complement the one for mothers. But you knew that, right? It is a truth universally acknowledged that a married man in possession of children must be in want of a day to call his own. That’s what Jane Austen would have written, had she been inspired to pen another story. At any rate, a little light research has yielded the information that Father’s Day was in fact established twice, first in July 1908 by a woman in West Virginia, who wanted to honor 210 fathers who had died in a 1907 mining disaster. (The thought was derivative even then, since Mother’s Day had been celebrated for the first time that year just a few miles away. Not to take anything away from the Mother of all Father’s Days, whose name was Grace Golden Clayton.) A day for fathers was the least of West Virginia’s concerns, however, and the first Father’s Day came, went, and wasn’t celebrated again until someone else reinvented the idea two years later. This person — another woman, Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Wash., — also took her idea from Anna Jarvis’Mother’s Day, which helps to explain why every new movie and television show is either a remake — “Leave It to Beaver” — or a spin-off — “CSI Miami,” “CSI Las Vegas,” “CSI New York.” Had this nation had this creative mindset in the 1950s, board games would be limited to Candyland variations: Return to Candyland, Candyland Revisited, Once Again to Candyland and so on. But about fathers, the celebration of whom “typically involves gift-giving, special dinners and family-oriented activities,” according to a notoriously unreliable Internet source. In this case, however, I’m going to go way out on a limb and say that’s a fairly accurate summary

of Father’s Day plans. Mother’s Day celebrations necessarily run to restaurants, since Mom shouldn’t have MARGO to cook on her BARTLETT special day, but on Father’s Day, no such inhibitions exist, and everyone can come home, pile gifts by Dad’s plate and perhaps go out for ice cream later. Dad will insist on paying. In fact, our two daughters and their husbands proposed a holiday plan that involves my stepping into the kitchen only to fetch plates and glasses. They’re bringing the Father’s Day special from Ray-Ray’s Hog Pit, a Clintonville street vendor, with extras from who knows where, possibly other street vendors. In this way we’ll all eat well — better, I’m sure we all realize, than we’d eat if I produced the meal — and the only expectations of the day will be conversation and — I’m guessing here, but see if I’m not right — a little gift-opening on the part

of my husband. I’ve said before in this space that as a person who grew up in a home with a single mother I little appreciated what a father could be to his children until I watched my own husband with his daughters. It was years before I had learned the lesson completely, before I thoroughly, truly, instinctively understood — or as instinctively as it is possible for me to understand — that he is every bit as essential a parent as I am. “Who needs a father?” I used to say, even as I cringed selfconsciously in school when words such as “daddy longlegs” or “Trinidad” were uttered. Well, now I know. I needed a father. And my daughters did, too. Lucky for them, they had — and they continue to have — one of the great ones. After Ray-Ray’s, after talking and talking and maybe taking the dogs to a park for some crazy play, we’ll go out for ice cream. My husband will insist on paying.

Heather Kamann & ThisWeek Sell Homes & Find Buyers

I really can’t begin to express my gratitude for all Heather has helped me with….selling TWO homes and purchasing THREE. Each time, Heather handled each transaction from beginning to end and didn’t miss one detail. She was always available to answer any questions I had and address my concerns…always with a smile. Heather’s knowledge, professionalism, and caring attitude cannot be matched. Not only did she help me find the perfect home, but I walked away with a friend.

Sheriff requests $6.2 million jail expansion By SARAH SOLE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office is requesting a $6.2-million expansion to the county jail, in part to meet new state requirements on storing DNA evidence. The proposal includes a temperaturecontrolled 33,800-square-foot storage center that would replace the four facilities and two trailers the county now uses to hold evidence, sheriff Walter Davis said. He declined to identify their locations. The proposal also would be the first of six long-term proposed phases totaling $34.2 million. The overall plan would

put all sheriff facilities at the county jail on U.S. Route 42N. Currently, some administration is located at 149 N. Sandusky St. The DNA collection and preservation requirements take effect next month. They were part of Senate Bill 77, passed last year. The sheriff’s office will be required to keep DNA evidence for any person arrested for a felony. DNA evidence from a crime scene must be kept for 30 years. For some convicted sex offenders, evidence must be kept for the suspect’s lifetime. After 30 years, the sheriff’s office can request to destroy the evidence by send-

ing letters to the offender, the attorney of record for that offender, the Ohio Public Defender’s office, the county prosecutor and the Ohio attorney general, all of which have a year to respond. “It will become very hard to destroy evidence after the 30 years,” Davis said. Previously, DNA evidence was collected only if a suspect was convicted. DNA from a sex offense was to be kept 25 years. For all other types of crime, the sheriff’s office was required to hold all evidence through all appeals, Davis said. After the appeals process, the sheriff’s office could then petition a court to destroy the evidence. The county’s ability to destroy evi-

dence has been greatly diminished by the legislation, chief deputy John Petrozzi told Delaware County commissioners on June 13. “It’s going to present some challenges for us in law enforcement,” Petrozzi said. Other proposed legislation that attempts to alleviate overcrowding in Ohio prison systems would also affect the county jail. Senate Bill 10 and House Bill 186 would give judges the ability to sentence non-violent fourth- and fifth-degree felons to intermediate sentencing instead of prison time, Davis said. He said the county jail population would increase by 37 percent if the legislation is approved. Nonviolent fourth- and fifth-

degree felons will be housed in the county jail, awaiting placement in treatment programs, community based corrections facilities, day reporting centers, veterans facilities, halfway houses, work release and probation. “When individuals violate their terms of probation, they will be sent directly back to our facility,” he said. Each inmate costs the jail about $65 per day, and nearly 250 inmates currently are in the facility, Davis said. Many fourth- and fifth-degree felons are nonviolent drug users who commit crimes, Davis said. These can be drug crimes or crimes to support their drug habits.

City selects architect for new fire station Continued from page A1 Miller Valentine also proposes seven single-story duplex villas and a commercial space in one or two buildings. A 10,000-square-foot wellness center would include medical, therapy and supportive services for residents and the neighborhood. This commercial portion would be privately financed. The city will need to seek tax credits from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency for the project.

OHFA will announce awards in March. Construction will start in October 2012 and end in December 2013. In other council news: • The city is seeking $104,000 from the Ohio Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Formula Allocation Program. Funds would go to the following projects: Olentangy Avenue street, walk, storm improvements, $140,000; street repaving in low- to moderate-in-

come areas, $88,800; and required fair housing and administration activities, $20,600. City revolving loan funds would add $145,400 to the project costs. • The city entered into a preliminary agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for resurfacing U.S. Route 36 between the western and eastern corporation limits, and state Route 521 from U.S. 36 to the north corporation limit. The total estimated cost is $1.4 million. Delaware is required to pay $275,000. The city also is required

to spend $500,000 on base repairs, which will start in late July or August. ODOT will start resurfacing by June or July of 2012. • The city scheduled a public hearing at 7:50 p.m. on June 27 on legislation that would change fees the city charges those who fail to mow lawns. The change would charge property owners $100 per violation. Currently, an average residence costs between $30-$60 for contracted mowing plus an administrative 20-percent fee.

Big Walnut Roundup

First OCC win set tone for baseball team By PATRICK DOLAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek

Senior shortstop Joe Curran batted a school-record .550 and scored 35 runs in earning first-team all-district and all-league honors for the Golden Eagles baseball team this season.

Before the start of the season, firstyear Big Walnut High School baseball coach Chris Holly wasn’t sure how good his team could be given that it had finished with a losing record the previous six seasons. “I knew we had a lot of good athletes,” said Holly, a 1998 Big Walnut graduate who was hired last November to replace Kyle Bennett, who had guided the Golden Eagles to an 8-17 record in 2010. “My only question was, how many baseball players do we have, because a lot of our guys play other sports. But they’re very coachable kids.” The players quickly bought into Holly’s coaching philosophies this spring, which helped the Golden Eagles produce their first winning season since 2004. Big Walnut finished 16-10 overall and went 6-8 in the OCCCapital Division to tie Hilliard Bradley for sixth, behind New Albany (11-3), Olentangy Orange (9-5), Mount Vernon (8-5), Watkins Memorial (8-5) and Delaware Hayes (6-7) and ahead of Franklin Heights (0-13). “Anytime you get a win in this league, it’s good because it’s a tough league,” Holly said. “Us and Bradley are the only two Division II teams in the league. It’s a very competitive league and it gets us ready for the tournament.” Big Walnut’s first league victory — an 8-7, nine-inning win at Orange on April 8 — may have been its biggest. The Golden Eagles scored three runs

in the top of the seventh inning to tie the game at 3 and added three runs in the eighth to take a 6-3 lead, only to see Orange score three runs in the bottom of the eighth. Big Walnut then scored two runs in the top of the ninth and allowed one run in the bottom of the inning before securing the win. “I think the turning point was our first game against Olentangy Orange when we battled back and battled back again to get the win,” said Holly, whose

team also beat the Pioneers 6-2 on April 21. “I think that win carried us through a lot of games.” Seeded eighth in the Division II district tournament, Big Walnut opened the postseason with a 17-0, five-inning win over Beechcroft on May 10. It then beat fifth-seeded Granville 19-17 in the second round on May 12 and defeated third-seeded Hartley 5-1 in a See EAGLES, page B2

Commentary

Athletes believe sports help them become better people For the 17th consecutive summer, I have chosen to ask some of the top central Ohio high school athletes who will be seniors in the fall to share their thoughts on a variety of topics. Enjoy the summer and enjoy hearing from these talented young people. As in the past, the first question is: What have sports done in making you the person you are today? Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “Without sports I wouldn’t be anything near what I am today. Sports keep me very active and I have been that way throughout my life.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “Sports have helped me learn to overcome challenges and adversities.

Sports have also shown me that you need to work hard to achieve your goals. For me, sports are a way to form friendships and I have found that teams strengthen bonds beLARRY tween people because LARSON you have worked so hard together.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “From sports I have learned discipline and the true value of being selfless. A team can only be successful when no one is concerned with who gets the credit.”

Mary Wells, Westerville South, bowling: “Sports have improved my self-confidence and helped me stay motivated. Also, sports have taught me how to win and lose gracefully and have taught me time management.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Sports have been a benchmark for me in my development. They have created discipline in my life, especially from the mental side of things. I have learned that you have to work hard to get things done both in the classroom and in sports workouts.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “Sports have brought out the best in me by allowing me to be competitive.

I absolutely love playing soccer and basketball with a passion. I can’t imagine my life without the opportunity to compete day in and day out.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “For me it is really simple. Sports have made me a disciplined kid and a hard worker.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Sports have taught me how to discipline myself through practice and dedication. Sports have taught me respect and honor, to honor those greats in front of us and to respect them and their accomplishments. As an athlete, sports make me get up in the morning and they give me something to

work for. The conditioning, training and practice have groomed who I am today.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Golf is a lot like life. It has taught me the importance of self-determination, work ethic and honesty.” Next week, the student-athletes will discuss how they balance practices and games with studying and keeping up their grades. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

EAGLES Continued from page B1 district semifinal on May 20 behind a six-hitter by Dillon Walls before losing to fourth-seeded and eventual state champion DeSales 5-4 in a district final on May 21. The Golden Eagles, who won their only district championship in 1974, led DeSales 4-2 through six innings, but the Stallions scored two runs in the top of the seventh to force extra innings and scored the winning run in the top of the ninth. “That (loss) left a bad taste in the kids’ mouth,” said Holly, who was the pitching coach at DeSales from 2006-08 under Stallions coach Tom Neubert. “They now know what it takes (to win a district title).” Big Walnut lost four seniors in Walls (P/INF), Joe Curran (SS), Blake Gulley (P/1B) and Dan Pike (P/INF/OF). Curran had a program-record .550 batting average with 26 RBI, 35 runs, one home run and seven stolen bases. He was named first-team-league and alldistrict and was selected to participate in the Mizuno All-Star Series, which was held June 1011 at V.A. Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe. Pike went 3-1 with a 3.98 ERA and 12 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings. Walls was 1-3 with a 4.35 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 37 innings, and Gulley was 3-4 with a 4.78 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 48 1/3 innings. Expected to return are juniors Zack Blackburn (OF/C), Grant Beam (1B/OF/P), Tyler Beam (3B/P), Aaron Dattilo (2B/3B/C/P), Aaron Gase (C), Brad Krinn (P/INF), Ben Romer (OF/P), Aaron Shaw (2B/P), Todd Tarney (INF), Austin Vertrees (OF) and Seth Wandling (1B/C/OF/P) and sophomore Jay Holland (3B/DH). Tyler Beam hit .427 with 27 RBI, 29 runs and two home runs and went 5-0 on the mound with a 2.17 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 42 innings and was named second-team all-league and honorable mention all-district. Grant Beam hit .457 with 24 RBI, 28 runs and two home runs and made second-team all-league, and Dattilo hit .425 with 28 RBI, 18 runs and one home run and made honorable mention all-

Sports briefs league. Romer hit .318 with 15 RBI and eight runs and Gase went 2-2 with three saves, a 2.39 ERA and nine strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings. “We have a good corps coming back,” Holly said. “We’re already excited about next year.” •Despite returning eight starters, the softball team was not able to bounce back from its first losing season since 2006, marking the first time the Golden Eagles have had back-to-back losing seasons since 1999 and 2000. Big Walnut finished 13-16 overall and went 7-7 in the OCCCapital to tie Mount Vernon for fourth, behind Delaware (14-0), Bradley (11-3) and Orange (86) and ahead of New Albany (59), Watkins Memorial (3-11) and Franklin Heights (1-13). The Golden Eagles, who also finished 13-16 in 2010, beat Hamilton Township 10-1 in the first round of the Division II district tournament on May 9 and Whitehall 8-6 in the second round on May 11 before losing to top-seeded DeSales 13-3 in six innings in a district semifinal on May 19 at Pickerington North. “We got off to a rocky start (in the regular season),” said coach Jeff Hatfield, whose team lost four of its first five games. “We had some key injuries and it was a weird season weatherwise. We probably played only five games in warm or decent weather. So it was a combination of things. But we finished on a positive note. We finished .500 in the league and we got back to Pickerington.” Big Walnut lost seven seniors in Brittany Bok (2B), Carrie Borchers (RF), Shelby Fink (SS), Leah Haines (LF), Tayler Nance (3B), Alyssa Newman (1B/OF) and Tabatha Piper (CF). All were regular starters. Piper batted .412 with 23 RBI and 19 runs and was named firstteam all-district and second-team all-league. Fink, who has signed with Bowling Green State University, hit .398 with 12 RBI, 25 runs, three home runs and a team-high six stolen bases and made second-team all-league, and Nance, who missed eight games because of a broken ankle, hit .441 with 13 RBI and

Junior pitcher and first baseman Emily Petty is expected to be among the top returnees for the Eagles softball team next season.

12 runs and made honorable mention all-district and firstteam all-league. Bok hit .333 with 16 RBI and 14 runs and Newman batted .323. “Shelby, Tabatha and Tayler have all started from day one,” Hatfield said. “In their four years, the seniors have had (66) wins, two OCC titles (2008 and 2009), four trips to Pickerington and one district final (2009). That’s a pretty impressive run.” Among those expected to return are juniors Emily Petty

(P/1B) and Morgan Stephens (C), sophomores Krysten Chadwick (C), Cheyan Pace (INF) and Allie Walker (P) and freshman Hayley Apple (INF). Chadwick hit .389 with 20 RBI, 16 runs and a team-high eight home runs and made honorable mention all-league. Stephens, who missed 14 games with a broken right hand, batted .273 with 11 RBI, 11 runs and five stolen bases, and Apple hit .283 with seven RBI and nine runs.

In the circle, Petty was 8-9 with a 3.25 ERA and 93 strikeouts in 125 innings and Walker was 5-7 with a 4.41 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 81 innings. “We have both catchers and both pitchers coming back and we have one heck of a (junior varsity) team to pull from,” said Hatfield, whose j.v. team went 19-2 this spring. “I’m excited about next year.” pdolan@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Palpitations not unusual in children, teens Many children experience a racing, pounding heart or “skipped” heart beats at some point in their lives. Some also report that they can feel these symptoms in their neck. These are known as heart palpitations. Though these palpitations can be a strange feeling, parents should remember that they are not necessarily an indication of something more serious. There are a number of factors that may influence someone’s heart rate and rhythm, including exercise, stress, caffeine and certain medications (such as those to treat asthma or heart conditions). Some kids may simply notice their own normal heart rhythm and wonder if it is normal. Sometimes, though, palpitations can be an indication of an abnormal heart rhythm. The vast majority of these rhythms are not life-threatening in otherwise healthy children. There are a few types of abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. Tachycardia arrhythmias are character-

ized by a rapid heart beat, but it is important to realize that a healthy child can easily get his or her heart rate above 160 beats per minute with exercise. Sometimes, a heartbeat is NAOMI simply early. This is a premature contraction. KERTESZ Heart arrhythmias can be lifelong or temporary. They can also be congenital, which means that children are born with it. A child does not have to be born with a heart defect to have a heart arrhythmia. In fact, many children experience arrhythmias and have normally formed hearts. You should consult you primary care physician if your child experiences palpitations. The physician will evaluate the frequency and intensity of these palpitations, your child’s medical history and that of your family. In many cases, treatment is not necessary.

Here at the Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, our comprehensive care includes a thorough medical history and potentially an electrocardiogram (EKG). In addition, we offer portable monitors that can record your child’s symptoms. These can be worn anywhere from one to 30 days, or only when your child experiences palpitations. Some of these monitors are the size of credit cards and can be carried in your pocket. They can record a tracing of your child’s heart rhythm, known as an ECG, which can then be shared over the phone with your cardiologist for evaluation. Our Heart Center is ranked among the best in the country and offers comprehensive care for all kinds of pediatric heart conditions. Dr. Naomi Kertesz is director of electrophysiology and pacing at the Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an associate professor of pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
