Menards to try again at new location By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A closer look

Nearly three years after its home-improvement store plan was denied in Orange Township, Menards is back and hopes to build at a different location. A tax incentive for the proposed store won the unanimous endorsement of township trustees at their Jan. 18 meeting. Trustees Robert Quigley, Jennifer Christian and Nelson Katz passed a resolution recommending the Delaware County commissioners approve a $1-

The $7.5-million, 162,000-square-foot store would sit on 22 acres of a 68acre site north of Orange Point Drive on the east side of U.S. Route 23. It will be developed by Planned Communities, county economic development director Gus Comstock said. There would be room for up to 19 outlots on the remainder of the property, he told trustees. The store would employ 60 full-time workers, 90 part-timers and have a $2-million annual payroll.

The proposed store rector Gus Comstock told trustees at the would be built north of Orange Point meeting that the tax incentive negotia-

tions committee — a joint county-township group made up of representatives from the county, township and Olentangy schools — supports a 10-year tax abatement for the store. Menards and county and township officials have been engaged in private discussions about the proposed store since late last year. The $7.5-million, 162,000-squarefoot store would sit on 22 acres of a 68acre site to be developed by Planned Communities, Comstock said. The property would have room for up to 19 outlots, he told trustees. The store would employ 60 full-time workers, 90 part-

timers and have a $2-million annual payroll. Menards would pay the balance of the $5-million in infrastructure costs to extend several roads, including Graphics Way. “The sales tax (from the store) would generate hundreds of thousands of dollars” annually for the local economy, Comstock said. Trustees chairman Quigley said thorough discussions have been held on the abatement and the proposed store. See MENARDS, page A2

Joint task force

Liberty Twp. invites Powell to talks By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Liberty Township trustees have asked the city of Powell for the second time to create a joint task force. Trustees Robert Mann and Mary Carducci approved the resolution Jan. 18. Trustee Curt Sybert was ab- Robert Mann sent from the meeting; he attended the Powell City Council meeting that occurred at the

same time to voice concern about Powell’s recent move that placed all its commercial property in a tax-increment-financing dis- Mary Carducci trict (TIF). In the recent past, the two entities have had disputes and legal battles over a number of issues including: • Liberty’s appealing to the Delaware County Common Pleas Court Powell’s 2007 decision to issue building permit for a Target store.

In July 2009, judge W. Duncan Whitney ruled that the township lacked standing to appeal. • In 2008, Powell accused the Curt Sybert township of violating a 2002 cooperative economic development agreement (CEDA) between the two because of actions then-township trustee Peggy Guzzo’s took regarding a citizen-led initiative petition seeking to limit commercial building square footage to 10,000 square feet for a single user

and 65,000 square feet for multiple users. Powell and Liberty remain in mediation on the issue. • In 2009, Powell accused Liberty Township of interfering in its annexation of the Market at Liberty Crossing, also known as the Giant Eagle shopping center. The CEDA prohibits the township from interfering in annexation of properties south of Home Road. The township in November 2009 proposed a task force with Powell. Trustees also: • Agreed to seek several grants

A number of county agencies on Jan. 18 asked Powell City Council to repeal the new commercial tax-increment financing district it approved in December. The city put all commercial properties within the city — not already within the downtown TIF district — into the new commercial TIF for 30 years. In TIF districts, certain tax income is defrayed and used for infrastructure costs. Criticizing the new TIF were representatives of the Liberty Township Fire Department, Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities, Preservation Parks of Delaware County, Delaware-Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, and the Delaware General Health District. All said the TIF puts a strain on their tax income. Council members said they might consider making payments to the fire department from the funds, but said more discussion is needed. “Having thought it through we may want to reconsider the fire department,” said mayor Art Schultz. He said no to the other agencies, noting that not all taxing is fair. Powell residents must pay for things that they aren’t getting benefit from, such as the county sheriff’s office. Schultz and council member Tom Counts said council is charged with looking out for Powell residents and the TIF eventually will provide much needed funds for infrastructure. Schultz said, “It will try to offset some of those things we tried to cover when we went to the residents (on the November ballot) to increase the income tax so we can pay for capital improvements.” Voters rejected the proposed tax increase. Liberty Township trustee Curt Sybert and fire chief Tim Jensen asked council to repeal the TIF or consider making a payment to the department in lieu of taxes, as will be done for the Olentangy Local School District. Council member Sara Marie Brenner made a motion to repeal the new TIF district, but the motion See TIF, page A5

School board makes 7.9-mill levy official for May ballot By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Olentangy school board on Jan. 19 took the final step toward seeking a 7.9-mill operating levy, combined with a no-new-millage bond issue, in the May 3 election. The board voted 4-0 to approve a resolution to place the three-year combined tax issue on the ballot. The filing deadline is Feb. 3. Board members Julie Wagner Feasel, David King, Stacy Dunbar and Kevin O’Brien voted for the issue. Scott Galloway, who did not attend the meeting because of a previous commitment, previously had opposed a levy at 7.9 mills. He had favored a 6.9-mill levy.

O’Brien also had favored 6.9 mills until the Jan. 12 board meeting, when he voted “yes” on a resolution to move forward at 7.9 mills. At the Jan. 19 Julie Wagner meeting, O’Brien Feasel said the scenario for the levy had changed and he was more comfortable with going for 7.9 mills. In particular, district officials have now pledged to pursue budget reductions of about $5.5-million during the next three years instead of a previous budget reduction goal of $2.1-million. “A balance was struck between what the district is willing to do and what we

are asking the taxpayers to do,” O’Brien said during the meeting. Wagner Feasel, King and Dunbar have said that seeking anything lower David King than 7.9 mills could result in cutting academic programs. Galloway contended that 6.9 mills was feasible. Board president Wagner Feasel said the process to determine a fair millage amount had been well-debated and discussed throughout the community over the past few months. “I’ve been working on levies in this district since 2000,” she said. “Going on

the ballot is never easy.” If voters approve the combined tax issue, the owner of a $100,000 home will pay an additional $241.94 annually in Stacy Dunbar taxes. The county auditor has determined the levy would raise $25.2-million a year. The bond issue would require no new millage because the district would restructure its current bond debt. It would raise $24.4-million to build a new elementary school and pay for textbooks and some capital improvement projects. Lewis Center resident C.J. Fenrick, speaking during the public comment

segment of the meeting prior to the vote, said he opposed the tax issue. “I’m a homeowner for a long period of time,” he said. “I Scott Galloway have no children in this district. ... As a senior (citizen), you are going to price me out of this community.” He said he currently pays about $6,000 annually in property taxes. While Fenrick said he doesn’t blame Olentangy schools for the way schools are funded in Ohio, he said the state legislature needs to do something about that. See LEVY, page A5

Menards to try again at new location Continued from page A1 “This really benefits the township and the county,” he said. While county commissioners still must approve the tax abatement, Orange Township would handle any zoning changes for the site, which currently is zoned industrial. No applications for a zoning change have yet been filed. Terry Stenard of Planned Communities on Jan. 18 told trustees that Menards is agreeable to the tax abatement proposal. In 2008, a Menards store was rejected on the south side of Home Road, west of U.S. 23. The plan required rezoning and some neighbors objected. A different developer was involved in that proposal. Also Jan. 18, a representative of the Franklin Foundation sought assurances from trustees that they would support a plan to build a 20unit apartment building for affordable senior housing in the township. Plans were dropped late last year because of zoning concerns for the project on 1.9 acres at Gooding Boulevard, northwest of Corduroy Road. Lynn Dalton told trustees a different site has been found. The Franklin Foundation wants to build the one-story building on 2.65 acres east of the Kroger store on U.S. 23 in Olentangy Crossing. The foundation has not yet filed a development plan with the township, but Dalton said the 17,700-square-foot building would have

both one- and two-bedroom units. “We are hoping you can understand where we are coming from,” Dalton said. “It is senior housing. That is who is going to be living there.” Quigley told Dalton that he appreciated her coming to the meeting but the proposal first must go to the township zoning commission. “You’re looking for some type of nod from the trustees,” he said. “The zoning board is a separate entity and they have to review the proposal.” Christian told Dalton that if the zoning commission approves the plan, it would be very unusual for trustees to then reject it. Also at the meeting, fiscal officer Joel Spitzer told trustees they need to begin looking into long-term record storage as well as the shredding of non-essential records. By law, some records are required to be kept for decades. “The bottom line is we are running out of (storage) room,” Spitzer said. The township stores most records in fireproof filing cabinets in various buildings. New filing cabinets, at a cost of $10,000 to $12,000, must be purchased every two years. The township has records that date back 150 years. Spitzer said about 100 boxes of non-essential records could be shredded. An outside company could do that on-site at a cost of about $100, he said. In addition, a company could store some records off-site at a cost of perhaps $3,000 to $4,000 a year. Trustees decided to discuss the issue later.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen EARS AND HEART SHARE MORE THAN 3 LETTERS According to a recent Canadian study, prolonged exposure to loud noise may be as bad for the heart as it is for the ears. Researchers have found that people who have worked in noisy workplaces for at least one-and-a-half years may have triple the risk of developing serious heart problems compared with workers in quieter environments. Workers in noisy environments tended to be overweight and to smoke, which are also risk factors for heart disease. The noise-induced heart disease link seemed to be strongest in men under age 50. It is thought that the stress caused by loud noise could lead to constricted blood flow through the coronary arteries. Whatever the mechanism, workers in loud environments should protect their ears. Pilots, construction workers, rock musicians, even landscape artists wear ear protection while working. The noise levels in many instances in our lives is enough to cause hearing to deteriorate, often without our being aware of happening. Do you spend lots of time in a noisy environment?

Fire department receives grant big chunk out of the hurt to have to pay for all of it,” Jensen said. Jensen said the township set aside $75,000 in the department’s capital expense fund for replacement turnout gear. The township will take two years to spend all the money. Jensen said turnout gear lasts Liberty about 10 years, which is the manufacturer’s recommended lifespan. Larger city departments might have to replace such gear sooner, depending on how often it is exposed to smoke and fire. The clothing protects firefighters from heat and must be washed after each use to remove contaminants and carcinogens found in smoke. The department has been awarded a number of grants through FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant. In the 2009 grant cycle, it received $607.952 in grant funds to pay for an Opticom GPS 1000 Series System to control traffic signals for emergency vehicles on runs.

Liberty Township Fire Department announced Jan. 21 that it received a federal grant to pay for firefighting gear. The $95,783 assistance to firefighters grant is from Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, fire chief Tim Jensen said. The grant provides 90 percent of the $106,425 cost of 45 sets of turnout gear — helmets, coats, pants and boots. The township is required to provide a 10-percent match, or $10,642, to the purchase. “This is a good thing. It will save the township taxpayers a lot of money,” said Jensen. The township had requested 62 sets of turnout gear, replacing it for the 52 full-time fire fighters and 10 part-time firefighters. “I was real pleased to get the grant. While 45 suits isn’t everything, it certainly takes a

The system was installed in 2010. The grant also provided funds for a complete National Fire Protection Agency physical examination for each employee, for weightlifting and cardiovascular equipment for each of the two fire stations, and for three firefighters to become certified fitness coordinators. In the 2008 grant cycle, the department was awarded $92,568 to purchase equipment planned for the 2009 budget. That equipment included two new electrocardiogram monitor/defibrillators for EMS vehicles; eight automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), which will go in the department’s first-response vehicles and in the township hall; a new compressor system to fill firefighter air tanks; and two new carbon monoxide-nitrogen dioxide gas detectors that will activate the exhaust system in the department’s bay areas and clear out fumes from emergency vehicles.

By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Delaware County residents can share their talents and raise funds for Delaware County Habitat for Humanities by participating in the HabitaTalent Show, scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, at Ohio Wesleyan University Gray Chapel, 61 S. Sandusky St., Delaware. Auditions for the show will be held through Jan. 31, said event organizer Kristen Kalinowski, a senior at Ohio Wesleyan University and an intern the county Habitat for Humanities. The show is a coordinated effort between OWU Habitat for Humanity club and the county Habitat’s Youth United group. Participants may be of any age and talent, Kalinowski said. People interested in auditioning should send a request for an audition form to kekalino@owu.edu.

Habitat, she said. “I wanted to create a fundraiser that would be fun for this age group. Being in a sorority at OWU has taught me that service events get the most attendance when the event is interactive and entertaining. This event is a way for a younger age group to have a good time, show off a talent they have and benefit their community all at

once,” Kalinowski said. “This is the first time our affiliate has done a fundraiser like this,” said Valerie Wigton, Habitat resource development director. The funds will go toward the Youth United build, in which young members raise all needed funds. The cost to build a Habitat house is about $100,000 in Delaware County. That cost includes the land, permits, fees and materials. This is the second Youth United build in the county, Wigton said. The first was completed in early 2009. The group is a Habitat affiliate for ages 5 to 25. The group has raised two-thirds of the total cost to date, Wigton said. Kalinowski began working as an intern for the area Habitat in August 2010, Wigton said. The internship was to last only one semester, and Kalinowski asked to

continue. “This internship began just as a way of gaining work experience before graduating, but turned into so much more for me,”Kalinowski said. “The mission of Habitat and the passion that all of the employees have at this affiliate really inspired me to get more involved. Since beginning my internship, I have watched several families on their journey to becoming home owners, which has touched my heart and has given me so much more than just work experience.” Tickets for the talent show cost $5 for general admission and $3 for students. They will be sold in advance and at the door. More information is available at habitatdelawareco.org.

Just thinking

The house that picked us Twenty minutes before the alarm went off this morning, I slipped my arm around my husband’s middle. Some seconds later, he rearranged himself, and I wondered if my arm was in his way. “Do you want me to move?” I said. “No,” my husband answered. “I don’t think I could handle the house payment all by myself.” Of course, I thought when I had finally composed myself again (my husband’s talent for making me laugh can be a mixed blessing) our so-called house payment would have long since been a memory, like leg warmers and pay phones, had we not added on and installed various improvements late in the game, so to speak. Not that I’m complaining about the improvements. One of them was to double the size of our living room, so that we now have bookcases where we used to park the car. Since our old living room was just a little larger than a standard shower stall – the house’s former owners were hard workers who had no time for living — the new living room was hardly gymnasium-sized. Nevertheless, it made a difference. These improvements were begun, oh, years ago now, roughly when our older daughter left for college, which I understand is when many people go in for bigmoney projects, but my appreciation for this no-longer-as-newas-all-that living room continues unabated. Of course, having seen it done once I find myself speculating about more undertakings: doubling the size of the dining room, say, and while we’re at it knocking out the west wall of the kitchen and building it up again some eight feet closer to the asparagus patch. All this is unlikely to happen, however, partly because we have no more daughters about to leave for college and partly because any serious talk of home renovations brings up the harsh facts of that difficult time: having no place to hang out after dinner and before bed, having all the living room furniture piled in the dining room, which not only eliminated any possibility of hanging out in the dining room instead but also made what was now our only path to the stairway almost un-negotiable. Furthermore, we had dust. Not

dust dust, which I began to regard almost fondly, as a person regards mice after tarantulas invade, but spackling MARGO dust, the very BARTLETT worst kind. It covered everything: furniture, walls, ceiling, doors, fixtures and anything else we were so careless as to leave out. Add to these the inevitable delays — days during which our contractor worked other jobs, days spent waiting for an inspector’s OK, days during which our carpet was supposed to arrive and didn’t — and you may wonder how we survived, why we didn’t surrender to degradation and death, like the Donner party. Even as I write, I can hear my own daughters chiming in. “Yes, Mom, why didn’t you?” they’re saying. I’m reminded of the first time we showed them our slides — yes, slides, which we keep next to the tintypes — of our house just after we bought it, when it was devoid of paint, plumbing and the kind of electrical wiring that doesn’t kill a person. They’d asked to see the slides, and all was merry and noisy as we set up the equipment. Then the first pictures came up, and they were shocked silent. They were stunned, we saw — stunned that we had purchased this house, whose most recent occupants had

been a swirl of feral kittens, a house that looked like one that Scouts selling candy bars would skip, just to be on the safe side. I don’t deny that I was a little rattled myself — the house in the pictures looks so extremely needy — but then I bucked up. It doesn’t look all that needy now, after all. We have plumbing and appliances. We have electricity flowing in on wiring manufactured after the Eisenhower administration. We have a garage and new siding and a living room larger than the house’s former occupants ever imagined it would be. Even more important, it’s our home. We’ve raised two daughters in this house, even as the well ran dry — once on Christmas Eve — and snowdrifts closed the driveway and crickets appeared every fall as if invited. Both daughters chose to be married here, out in the yard where guests gathered under trees since lost to lightning and age. A beloved dog is buried near a patch of wildflowers. It might have been easier to buy a new house, a house that was less trouble, whose pictures didn’t cause the blood to drain from our daughters’ faces, I thought. But we couldn’t. This was our house. Then the radio made a clicking sound and the alarm began to blare. It was time to get up. Margo Bartlett is a ThisWeek staff writer. E-mail her at mbartlett@ thisweeknews.com.

TIF Continued from page A1

died for lack of a second. With a TIF, a property’s increase in value is exempt from taxes, but the property owner still pays the same amount of money, which is put into a special fund used to pay for infrastructure in the TIF district. For example, city attorney Gene Hollins said, if a vacant lot is included in a TIF district, the value of the lot still is taxed and distributed to the various agencies that have tax issues. When it is developed, the owner pays the amount the taxes would have brought in on the new value into the special fund. Hollins said half of the property in the TIF area is not developed. When it is fully developed, the taxing value would be about 2.3 percent of the overall taxable property value in Liberty Township and 0.3 percent of the overall taxable value within Delaware County. The agencies also complained about not getting notice of the TIF that eventually will affect their revenues, having only read it in the newspaper. Schultz said, “I apologize that you found out about this in the paper. There should have been a better mechanism, particularly for our own township.”

Also at the Jan. 19 meeting, superintendent Wade Lucas told the board that beginning this spring, Gallup Inc. will begin a long-term study in the district to try to detemine if teacher well-being affects student achievement. The district has about 1,100 teachers and participation in the study would be voluntary. The study will be paid for by Gallup and would look at five major areas — careers, finances, health, personal issues and community. “Most of these studies have been done in the private sector,” Lucas told the board. Such a study could help improve teachers’ health and job performance. If this is successful, other school district employees could be part of a study, too, he said. Following the meeting, Lucas said he had discussions last summer with Jim Mahoney, executive director of Battelle For Kids, and the idea for such a study came up. Gallup was contacted and agreed to do the study. “What happens between 4 p.m. and 8 a.m. (to teachers) and does that have an effect on students?” Lucas said outside the meeting. “The results won’t come back for two or three years.”

Girls Basketball

Pioneers’ Agler adjusting to new role By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The roster for the Olentangy Orange High School girls basketball team lists 5-foot-7 point guard Taylor Agler as a sophomore. Most opponents probably believe that’s a typo. Agler, who started as a freshman for the Pioneers, came back this season savvier and more mature as a player. “Coming into this season, we didn’t have any seniors on this team and only five juniors,” said Agler, one of six soph-

omores on varsity. “We can’t use the excuse ‘We’re only sophomores.’We have to play like seniors and act like seniors.” Orange’s record shows the underclassmen have stepped up. After beating Westerville South 65-41 on Jan. 18 and Mount Vernon 66-22 on Jan. 21, the Pioneers were 14-1 overall before playing OCC-Capital Division rival Big Walnut on Jan. 25. Their lone loss was 48-43 to Northland on Dec. 13. The Pioneers, seeking their first OCCCapital title, went into the Big Walnut game at 9-0 in the league, two games

ahead of the second-place Golden Eagles (7-2). New Albany and Hilliard Bradley were tied for third at 6-2, followed by Delaware (4-5), Mount Vernon (2-7), Watkins Memorial (1-8) and Franklin Heights (0-9). “It’s going to be a very important week for us,” Agler said. “Winning the OCC is our first goal for the season and Big Walnut, New Albany and Bradley are all up there in the standings.” Agler’s role has changed from the one she played while helping Orange finish 17-5 last year. Last season, she was sec-

ond-team all-league and honorable mention all-district while averaging 10.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.0 steals. Agler’s scoring average has dropped to 6.9 points a game this season, and she has reached double figures only four times. But she’s averaging 7.9 assists and 4.4 steals. First-year coach Mary Ann Grimes said Agler’s role is not necessarily to be a scorer. “Each person on our team has a job,” Grimes said. “Taylor’s job is to run the team. She has three choices: hit the open

man, penetrate or take the open shot. She has to make the right decision.” “Scoring is not my (primary) role,” Agler said. “I love helping set up my teammates and (Grimes) has given me the opportunity to do that.” It’s a formula that worked well for Grimes during her 12-year run at Dublin Coffman. During Grimes’ tenure, the Shamrocks often had savvy point guards leading the way, including Sam MacKay, who is now playing at the UniversiSee GIRLS, page B2

Hockey

Moving puck key for Braves By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

“Liberty has kind of a complete team with (Nick) Archer inside and (Jake) Bischoff and (Andy) Yazrombek as guards, and they have several other role

Coach Mazin Habash said the Olentangy High School hockey team is at its best when active offensively. “When things are right, we’re moving the puck and not holding on to it very long,” said Habash, who is co-coach of the Braves with Rob Sangster. “They are getting in position and executing their responsibilities on the ice. Simply put, when guys do their job in our system, the system will work. When they don’t do that, that’s when you have chaos on the ice.” The Braves’ system worked Jan. 22 in a 5-1 win over the Bloomington (Ind.) Blades. Senior center Tyler Sangster had three goals while senior defenseman Connor Laughlin and sophomore forward Casey Stanley each scored one. The Braves were playing without three starters. Junior defensemen Woody Wallace and Justin Marcum both sat out with shoulder injuries and junior forward Kyle Hickman was held out by the coaches because of nagging injuries. “It was a good win for us because we had three regulars out,” said Habash, who coaches defense while Sangster handles the offense. “It gave the younger guys an opportunity to stretch their legs and it’s good to get those guys in and get some ice time.” Backup goaltender Jake Fox, a freshman, had 21 saves. Senior Trever Sangster had eight saves. “Trever started and Jake Fox played half of the game,” Habash said. “It’s good to get Jake in goal and see him have some success because there are a lot of mental aspects to being a goalie.” Junior forward Josh Stein said non-league games like the one with Bloomington give the Braves a chance to worry more about themselves than the opponent. “You never know what to expect in non-league games,” he said. “You don’t know much about the team you’re playing. It was a mystery as to their technique and skill, but we went out and worked on our game.” Habash said the atmosphere in non-league games can be conducive to success. “It’s good competition against schools we wouldn’t otherwise play,” he said. “We try to play teams from outside our geographical area and the kids like it. They are somewhat exhibition games and it’s good experience to play against other players. “You have a whole different feeling than in a (Capital Hockey Conference) game. You don’t have the pressure of league games and the kids can relax and just play hard.” Stein said the team was starting to mesh on the ice, which should lead to success as the CHC season winds down. “Our penalty-kill has been doing pretty well for us and

Orange senior Kaitlin Milburn has been busy during this winter sports season, competing for the Pioneers in both bowling and swimming. As a junior, she was a Division I district qualifier in the 500-yard freestyle and helped the girls bowling team advance to district.

Orange’s Milburn pulling double duty By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Kaitlin Milburn didn’t have any scheduling conflicts while competing for the girls bowling and swimming teams as a freshman at New Lenox Lincoln-Way High School, since swimming is a fall sport and bowling is a winter sport in Illinois. After her family moved to Lewis Center and she transferred to Olentangy Orange the following year, Milburn wasn’t sure if she would be allowed to compete for the Pioneers’ bowling and swimming teams since both compete in the winter season. Fortunately for Milburn, former bowl-

ing coach Joel Spitzer and former swimming coach Keith Sorensen both agreed to share her talents, and the senior has been a valuable member of both teams each of the past three seasons. “I was really worried that I would have to choose one sport over the other, and I didn’t know which one I was going to pick, because I’ve been swimming since I was 5 and bowling since I was 9, and I love both sports,” Milburn said. “So I went to tryouts for both teams and both coaches were fine with sharing me, which was really exciting.” Milburn was able to balance her time between the teams’ practices and competitions easily as a sophomore and junior, and she enjoyed some success in

each sport. As a sophomore, Milburn qualified for the district meet in bowling and finished 18th with a score of 517. She also qualified for the Division II district meet in swimming and placed sixth in the 500-yard freestyle (5 minutes, 35.73 seconds) and 11th in the 200 free (2:06.2). The following season, Milburn helped the bowling team finish eighth (2,953) in a sectional to qualify for district, where the Pioneers finished 18th (3,005). Orange’s swimming and diving squad moved up to Division I that season, but Milburn still qualified for district in the 500 free and finished 25th (5:42.26). “I didn’t have too many scheduling

conflicts my sophomore and junior years, and I had a lot of fun doing both sports,” Milburn said. “Making it to district was good for me last year, because I tore a tendon in my left ankle by accidentally hitting the side of my ankle with a (14-pound) bowling ball, and that kept me out of the water for three weeks and made me miss most of the (swimming season).” Milburn’s schedule has been more hectic during her senior season. She has decided to continue to train with the Buckeye Swim Club at Ohio Wesleyan three days a week through the winter, on top of practicing with her high school See BOWLING, page B2

Patriots looking to sweep season series with Braves By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek

Nick Archer, a 6-foot-7 junior center, and his teammates on the Liberty boys basketball team will rekindle their rivalry with Olentangy when they visit the Braves on Jan. 29.

Contrasting styles will be featured when the Olentangy Liberty High School boys basketball team plays at Olentangy on Saturday, Jan. 29. While Liberty likes to push the ball up the court, Olentangy prefers to control the tempo and work the ball inside to 6-foot-8 junior center Stephen Walczak. “Olentangy plays a lot of zone (defenses) that have bothered some teams and they want to slow down the pace and play to their strength,” Liberty junior guard Jake Bischoff said. “We want to get out and run and have the score in the 60s or 70s and they would like the score to be in the 40s or 50s.” The Patriots won their first eight games, but had lost three of their last four before playing Dublin Jerome on Jan. 25. “We sometimes get hurt in zones when we don’t attack the gaps that are in all zones,”

Bischoff said. “We can’t sit back and throw up outside shots, which plays into their game. We have to be aggressive and attack the zone.” Olentangy coach Chris Kelly said Liberty is a solid team.

BOWLING Continued from page B1 swimming team five days a week, practicing with her bowling team two days a week and competing for both squads multiple days each week. Milburn, who maintains a 3.9 grade-point average, typically wakes up at 5:30 a.m. to attend school from 7 a.m. to 2:35 p.m. and doesnâ€™t go to bed until 11 or 11:30 p.m. most nights. Milburn stays busy throughout the entire school year. She is a member of her schoolâ€™s math club, French club, drama club, a cappella choir and mixed choral choir, and as a National Honor Society member volunteers some of her free time visiting nursing homes. â€œI like to stay busy, because it feels weird when I donâ€™t have anything to do,â€? Milburn said. â€œWinter season is always my stressful time because of the two sports I do, and itâ€™s been pretty crazy now that Iâ€™ve been swimming club in addition to everything else. â€œI decided to do club because this will be my last season of swimming and I wanted to work hard to end it with a bang. Itâ€™s stressful and hard to do everything all at once, but I love both teams and Iâ€™m having a lot of fun.â€? Through the bowling teamâ€™s first nine matches, Milburn has been medalist five times. On Dec. 29 against Centennial, she knocked down a total of 432 pins in two games, setting the program record for highest score in a two-game series. Milburn hopes to qualify for the state tournament as a senior. She is seeking an academic scholarship from several schools, and plans to try out for the womenâ€™s bowling squad regardless of her college destination. Donna Milburn, who has coached Orangeâ€™s boys and girls bowling teams the past two seasons, is optimistic that her daughter will be a successful college bowler. Donna Milburn competed for the Gettysburg College womenâ€™s bowling team from 1976-78. â€œKaitlinâ€™s been working with (Ohio State menâ€™s bowling coach) Bill Henson the past few years and sheâ€™s improved quite a bit,â€?

Culbertson had 22 goals and 12 assists last season. In the regular season, he scored winning goals against Marysville, Dublin Scioto and Hartley, and he had the tying goals against DeSales and Division III state runner-up Worthington Christian. â€œI was a little bit surprised,â€? Culbertson said of the All-America selection. â€œI was just happy to be acknowledged with that kind of honor.â€? Braves coach Dave Sebek wasnâ€™t surprised. â€œKyle is very dedicated,â€?

We can do that against anyone if we take care of the basketball.” Walczak’s game has progressed in recent weeks.

Bischoff had nine points and Archer added eight. Walczak scored 11 points to lead the Braves, Lew Staum had eight points and Seth Clark added five. The teams split last season’s games, with each winning at home. Liberty won 83-49 and Olentangy won 59-58 in overtime. “It’s an important game for us, not only because they are our cross-town rival, but because we still remember losing in overtime over there last year,” Bischoff said. “When Olentangy and Liberty play, it’s big for the team and the school. ... A lot of students from both sides will be there.

BOYS Coach John Betz said New Albany provides a different test from the deliberate offense and zone defenses of Mount Vernon. “(The Eagles) will come after you and want to play man (defense) and push the ball,” said Betz, whose team lost to New Albany 50-45 on Dec. 17. “It should be a very physical game and we want to be able to stay with them and do what we can in the fourth quarter.”

Page B3

Jordan Combs said playing at home may be the difference. The Pioneers have won 13 consecutive home games. “It’s always great to play at home and the crowd really gets into it. You saw that (at Mount Vernon) in the fourth quarter,” Combs said. “(The fans) get louder with every game.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Sinus infections can be frequent Frequent sinus infections in children are a common problem, especially for children in daycare settings. The average child can have six to ten upper respiratory tract infections a year that have symptoms including nasal discharge and blockage. Other factors that contribute to frequent sinus infections are environmental allergies, exposure to second-hand smoke, immunodeficiency, congenital craniofacial anomalies and some inherited conditions. Children with lung problems such as asthma and cystic fibrosis often have related sinus problems. Most viral infections will resolve without treatment. A small percentage will progress to bacterial sinusitis that will require antibiotics for treatment. Narrowing or blockage of the nasal passages or sinus openings may increase the chances that a cold will progress to bacterial sinusitis. Often, children may need medication to help treat sinus problems. This could include nasal steroids, nasal saline, mucous-thinning medications called mucolytics, and some allergy medications such as anti-histamines. In a small percentage of children, surgery may be necessary to relieve the blockage and open the sinuses or nasal passages. Prior to any surgery, a thorough work-up is necessary in order to determine the appropriate treatment course. Younger children do not typically need surgery on the sinuses as their sinuses are still developing. Younger children with frequent sinus infections often have their adenoid, a patch of tissue located where the nose and throat join, re-

moved. The adenoid can be a haven for bacteria and can often block the nasal passages. Removing the adenoid is a simple and painless surgery that can be very effective. When the sinus problem CHARLES is more involved than an enELMARAGHY larged adenoid, the sinuses need to be imaged via a special X-ray called a CT scan to investigate the anatomy of the sinuses and determine if the openings of the sinuses are blocked. If sinus openings are blocked, they can be enlarged using special instruments and a small camera called an endoscope. This is called endoscopic sinus surgery. The natural openings are widened and preservation of normal anatomy is the goal. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Rhinology Clinic is unique in that it offers allergy testing and endoscopic evaluation during the same visit. This allows both the allergist and otolaryngologist to determine an appropriate treatment plan. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider prior to starting or stopping any treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Dr. Charles Elmaraghy is a member of the Department of Otolaryngology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of clinical otolaryngology at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
