Council wants SWACO to delay vote

By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio had hoped for quick approval of the 2011 solid waste management plan update, but Canal Winchester City Council unanimously approved a resolution July 18 asking for a delay.

The resolution urges the SWACO board of directors to delay its vote on the revised plan, though council members did not specify how long they would like the

voting deadline delayed.

“We’ve only had the plan for a brief amount of time and it’s very detailed, so we are asking that the board of SWACO delay their vote on the draft so that we have time to properly review it,” said council member Rick Deeds, the resolution sponsor.

The resolution states that in the event that the vote is not delayed, city council would oppose the update.

Regardless of what Canal Winchester does, Michael Greenberg, a contractor

with GT Environmental Inc., who helped draft the update, said last week he believes SWACO will get enough affirmative votes to get the revised waste management plan approved. (See related story on this page.)

In response to a request from Canal Winchester, city law director Gene Hollins said Monday that SWACO had forwarded a “redline comparison of the June 2010 draft and the next draft from November or December.”

“It’s made it a little easier to go through,

but (is) not a redline of what is actually before you now,” he said. “It appears (SWACO) is using the flow control as a sword as well as a shield in terms of how they’re serving their own needs for the operation of the landfill.”

Council member James Wynkoop questioned whether other communities had similar concerns about the plan update.

“Just like the (tipping) fee increases (approved in 2010), this is happening when most local government bodies are

on summer recess,” Hollins said.

SWACO needs a 60-percent approval vote for the update. SWACO spokesman John Remy said July 19 that old population figures supplied by the Ohio Department of Development showed that if the authority got only the required approval from Franklin County commissioners and the city of Columbus, that 60-percent mark would be reached. However, he said, SWACO knows those popSee COUNCIL, page A2

The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio is anticipating its five-year solid waste management plan update will be ratified by Aug. 5.

The review cycle for the plan requires that it be updated every five years. During the review, SWACO addresses its programming needs for 15 years into the future. The update needs to be approved by 60 percent of SWACOaffiliated communities, including Franklin County commissioners and the city of Columbus.

“We believe we’ve already obtained enough votes for approval,” said Michael Greenberg, a contractor with GT Environmental Inc., who helped draft the update.

Canal Winchester may not be among those voting for the revisions, even though the proposal does not cover day-to-day operational plans or budgets.

Changes in SWACO operations — specifically, the requirement

that trash collected in Franklin County be hauled to SWACO’s landfill — were blamed for the 2009 closing of Waste Management’s transfer station in Canal Winchester. Waste Management had been taking trash it collected to a company-owned landfill in Perry County.

The update now under consideration outlines the programs SWACO uses to manage the amount of solid waste it collects, which either ends up in a landfill or is recycled.

Funding for the programs comes from a $5 per ton generation fee. SWACO estimates that the generation fee will provide $5,693,165 in 2012.

According to the proposed new management plan, SWACO is planning to upgrade its Morse Road transfer station with a new facility, although funding for such a project is not part of the plan update.

Volunteers find mission in-state

By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Members of Bloom Baptist Church in Canal Winchester didn’t have to look far to find a meaningful mission trip.

Instead of traveling out of state, five volunteers — youth group pastor Devin DelGrosso, his wife, Megan, daughter, Emma, and church members Thomas Wimbash and Tabitha Limpaph — spent July 11-14 helping people in need here in Ohio.

The Emerge Mission Project encourages young people to become involved in their community and has taken part in projects locally since 2008 after being founded by youth minister Nick Osborn of the First Baptist Church of Kettering.

“I did my internship with (Osborn) so I’ve known him for 10 years now,” DelGrosso said.

At the time, he and city officials hoped the project would provide new recreational opportunities to people in the area, as well as serve as a site for competitive tournaments in the burgeoning sport.

Next month, both of the goals will take another step forward.

On Aug. 6 and 7, Jay and other Columbus Flyers Disc Golf Club members will host an instructional camp geared toward introducing novices to the sport and providing advanced tutorials for experienced players.

Then, on Aug. 13 and 14, the Simsbury Disc Golf Course will host an amateur and professional disc golf tournament.

COUNCIL Continued from page A1 ulation counts are inaccurate and Columbus’ population does not equal 60 percent of the overall population of Franklin County.

Therefore, Remy said, SWACO also needs approval from some of its smaller member communities.

“We have Columbus and county approval, as well as 29 other communities who’ve voted in favor, which gives us approximately 80 percent of the population voting in favor,” he said.

Hollins told Canal Winchester City Council Monday that SWACO would get the needed votes in favor of the updated plan.

“So basically, we’re just documenting our issues to make (SWACO) aware of them,” he said.

In other business Monday, council unanimously approved a resolution to authorize the mayor and city finance director to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation to allow the city to serve as the lead agency for Phase II of the Gender Road project.

During the service committee

July 21, 2011

VOLUNTEERS meeting prior to the council meeting, city engineer Steve Farst said Canal Winchester is on schedule to submit stage one plans for Phase II to ODOT by Aug. 1.

“There were a lot of issues we encountered with the environmental screening because of the federal money and now they’re looking at the design, but I think it’s moving along pretty well,” Farst said. “With respect to the planned development, we’re scheduled to submit the stage one plans by Aug. 1 for ODOT review — which covers about 60 percent of the overall plan.”

Construction services manager William Sims said Phase I of the Gender Road project is on schedule, with work currently under way on the bike path extension and installation of traffic signal wiring conduit.

“Everything will be there and working by the start of the school year,” public works director Matt Peoples said. “That is a milestone of the contract.

“Part of this was due to the congestion at the school so (Gender Road has to be completely open), and the whole Phase 1 project

should be done by November,” he said.

In other construction updates, Peoples said the installation of two new raw sewage pumps and a new aerator will be completed

by August, allowing for the final two raw-sewage pumps to be replaced. Stormwater that had been directed through a sewer from 1903 is being diverted around properties on Jennings Road where it has caused basement flooding due to blockages, he said.

City council unanimously approved the adoption of an official woodlands map. Council also learned that the Harvest Moon Café, 7 N. High St., has filed an application for a D-3 permit for on-site consumption of alcohol with the Ohio Division of Liquor Control.

Also Monday, council heard first readings of an amendment to include an additional $10,500 in expenses in the 2011 city budget and of legislation to establish sign standards for the Waterloo Crossing Shopping Center.

The next city council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 1 at Town Hall, 10 N. High St.

Continued from page A1 you don’t think of it as a mission field, but when you get there, you see it is a community that deserves our help.”

Emerge Mission projects run during the summer and in the fall and are open to students through college age. Both Wimbash and fellow Bloom Baptist member, Tabitha Limpaph,15, are hoping to attend this fall’s project.

“This is my second year at Emerge and this time, I went to a nursing home and I was around dementia patients,” Limpaph said. “We sang Christian songs — like little kid songs — because they knew those songs and could sing along. To see the smiles and reactions — it was amazing “I just loved going and making their day,” she said. “I’m looking forward to going again, including this fall for the weekend event.”

DelGrosso brought his wife, Megan, and 7year-old daughter, Emma, along to participate this year. They also volunteered at the nursing home.

Wimbash spent the week working with children at the Miami Valley Daycare Center, where he helped host a soccer camp. According to Greene, other volunteers worked on neighborhood clean-up projects and an urban farm run by the center.

“This being my first Emerge, I definitely had

a fun time and a different experience, and I’m really looking forward to fall for the next Emerge project,” Wimbash said.

SWACO Continued from page A1 infrastructure but as far as the budget goes, that isn’t part of this plan,” Greenberg said. “The plan programming comes from the generation fee, which can’t be used for the transfer stations. SWACO funds the transfer stations out of tipping fees.”

Last year, the SWACO board voted to increase the tipping fees by $3 per ton in 2011 and 2012 to help cover infrastructure and operational costs.

Canal Winchester Mayor Michael Ebert said the city is aware that the updated waste management plan is separate from operations and doesn’t have anything to do with the situation with the Waste Management transfer station. However, city council member Rick Deeds said it is part of a larger issue, which is a concern for Canal Winchester residents and council members.

“It wasn’t too many years ago where they were putting rules in place to push trash out of Franklin County, so does the landfill have more room or is it that they need more money?” Deeds asked.

“What is our incentive to support their plan?”

One program that Remy pointed to is SWACO’s ability to form consortiums to save customers money.

“One thing we’ve done is set up waste consortiums to bid out services for eight or nine communities to get a great price,” Remy said. “Most recent was eight communities, which came in under $14 per resident per month.

Canal Winchester is welcome to join those kinds of consortiums.”

Deeds said the current 10-year Waste Management trash-hauling contract in Canal Winchester beat out the consortium pricing in 2010. The contract allows for an increase each year, if necessary, due to SWACO’s 2011 and 2012 tipping fee adjustments, and can be reviewed every three years.

“Waste Management has always been a good neighbor for us and the last time we priced out

consortium, they couldn’t compete with Waste Management,” Deeds said.

Remy pointed out that SWACO is mandated to reduce reliance on landfills “so the generation fee pays for the support programs to meet that mandate.

“The $5 fee hasn’t changed since the solid waste district was mandated,” he said.

According to documents provided by SWACO, all of the numbers in the revised plan have been updated to reflect a current picture of what is going into the landfill versus what is being recycled.

The plan also includes program participation rates and information about funds budgeted for programs.

Due to budgetary constraints during the previous planning cycle, according to the draft, the COSI solid waste exhibit and the Columbus Zoo “My House” exhibit funding have been discontinued, as has the Just In Time recycling program and a RASTRA recycling program. RASTRA is the brand name of a type of insulating concrete made from polystyrene and other types of waste products that is shaped into building materials used primarily for walls and roofs.

The resource library materials have been donated to the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, which will continue to maintain the library.

New programs include an updated communications plan, which includes funding for social media outreach and business outreach (including the expansion of the Green Spot program), watershed planning, a Program and Facilities Advisory Committee and a non-subscription curbside recycling program in the city of Columbus.

Canal Winchester City Council is expected to vote on whether to support the solid waste management plan prior to the Aug. 5 deadline. The SWACO board must then certify ratification of the plan update before submitting it to the Ohio EPA for final approval.

DISC GOLF Continued from page A1 petitive play. “The sport itself is growing.

“That course, that’s my baby out there, for sure. I designed it and everybody loves it. It’d be a shame not to hold camps and a tournament out there.”

The disc golf camp will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on both Aug. 6 and 7. It’s free and open to anyone age 7 or older, and attendees need only attend one session.

“We usually give a little history about the sport and then we show them the basic grips and what kind of Frisbee to use,” Jay said. “We try to teach them what’s a good disc for them – what’s best for them to get started in the sport.

“We’ll also give instruction to more advanced players who want to learn more and improve,” he said. “In this sport, I’ve found some of the simplest tips can help them. Just showing something like how to pull the disc back and how to throw it properly, they can throw it about 10 times farther.”

Jay said disc golf newbies don’t

need a disc to attend his camp.

He’ll provide them during instruction and they can be purchased for a donation to his club.

He’s hopeful the camp will lead some attendees to participate in the tournament the following weekend.

The amateur tournament on Aug. 13 will feature recreational, intermediate and advanced divisions. Entry fees are $15, $25 and $35 for the respective divisions.

On Aug. 14, the course will host a professional tournament that will be governed by the Professional Disc Golf Association and will be part of the Columbus Point Series. It is a “B-Tier” event and will feature two divisions.

Entry fees are $40 and $50.

“The top half in every field gets paid or gets prizes,” Jay said.

Up to 95 players can participate in each of the two tournaments. Additional information is available online at www. columbusdiscgolf.com and www.PDGA.com. nellis@thisweeknews.com

Sweat.

As it were

When building a capital city, first build a prison The first capital of the state of Ohio was located in Chillicothe.

After a brief move to Zanesville, the capital returned to Chillicothe.

But by 1810, the Ohio General Assembly was under more than a little pressure to move the capital to a place a ED bit more cenLENTZ tral.

After looking at several places, the Assembly chose a site across from frontier Franklinton at the Forks of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers.

They called the new town Columbus.

Interestingly, the first public building erected in Columbus was not — as one might expect — the state capitol building. It was the state penitentiary.

There was a decidedly practical reason why this was the case.

The thrifty legislators planned to use prison labor to build the state’s new buildings and it would be useful to have a safe place to put them when their day’s work was done.

The prison was located at the southwest corner of Main Street and Marconi Boulevard, where the cultural arts center is today.

It is somewhat difficult to see what that area looked like two centuries ago. At that time, the two-story stone-and-brick house with a full basement stood at the crest of a steep slope that swept down to the river several hundred yards away. Built into the side of the hill, the west wall of the basement opened onto a large, fenced enclosure that served as the prison yard.

The basement served as kitchen and service area for the prisoners, who lived in small huts built along the walls of the prison yard.

Entering the prison through its front door on the eastern street side of the building, one found oneself in the first-floor home of the warden and his family. A prisoner entering the prison was low-

Columbus’ first prison, pictured circa 1813, was located at the southwest corner of Main Street and Marconi Boulevard.

ered through a trapdoor in the floor to the prison below. From inside the prison yard, a stairway led to secure cells on the second floor of the stone house.

Each day, the prisoners would sally forth from the prison to build a new capital city. By 1816, when the General Assembly arrived for its first session, a two-story brick Statehouse was completed and was complemented on Statehouse Square with a state office building and a courthouse. A few years later, a rather plain frame addition to the state office building would house local government officials. A public markethouse would be located nearby.

Most of these public buildings were at least partially constructed by prison labor, as would be the new Ohio Statehouse, which began to be built in 1839.

Over the years, the prison expanded in size and its yard moved closer to the river. The arrival of the Ohio Canal and National Road in the 1830s forced the removal of the penitentiary to a new site at the corner of what is now Spring Street and Neil Avenue.

While we know quite a bit about the work the prisoners did and how they did it, it is often harder to get an idea of what these prisoners were like. In 1901, a local paper offered a glimpse of some of these men while trumpeting the benefits of a new system of criminal identification.

Dissatisfied with existing methods, a French policeman named Alphonse Bertillon had developed a new type of identification based on taking precise meas-

urements of several parts of the body of an offender. These included head length, head width, length of the middle finger, length of the left foot and length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. Reputed to be infallible since no two people would have the same measurements, the system was first adopted in Europe and by the turn of the century was in use in most parts of the United States.

To illustrate the crudity of earlier systems used in Ohio, a reporter examined the early entry logs of the Ohio Penitentiary and offered some examples of how prisoners arriving at the institution were described. Perhaps without intending to do so, the descriptions tell us something about these people who were the first prisoners in a new town: “When the penitentiary was opened in 1815, the descriptions taken were more than interesting.

Some of the entries have a comic cast. Of John Irons, received of Warren County, May 17, 1824, to serve three years for horse stealing, and afterwards pardoned by the governor, there is the following entry in pencil, ‘$30 will be paid for him delivered.’ George Kerns from Hamilton County is particularly described as having ‘a piece bit off the underside of left ear.’ Ephraim Ellis, a Negro, is described … as having ‘eyes dark, hair curly, complexion dark.’

George Giles is simply Bertillonized as having ‘a dimple on his chin.

Defections leave MSL alignment unclear for 2013 Return of Licking County League also affects OCC

By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Mid-State League likely is headed for realignment, but interim commissioner Jim Hayes doesn’t know what the conference will look like after the 2012-13 school year.

Hayes, who is the athletics director at Teays Valley and chair of the MSL’s realignment and expansion committee,

believes the league likely will have to add schools.

“We have six schools leaving after the 2012-13 school year and that leaves 18 in the league,” said Hayes, who took over on an interim basis after Frank Pergolizzi resigned as MSL commissioner in the spring. “Right now, I wish I knew what we are going to do. There is no clear direction on what we will do.”

In the spring, MSL-Ohio Division members Granville, Heath, Lakewood, Licking Valley and Newark Catholic announced they would be leaving to join a re-established Licking County League (LCL). Licking Heights of the MSL-Cardinal also will be leaving for the LCL.

“We could have three six-team divisions (with the 18 remaining schools) or two nine-school divisions, but neither of those has very much support,” Hayes said. “A lot of schools are worried about increased travel and competing against new schools that they don’t have a history with and they don’t know a lot about them. They want competitive balance and they are not sure about new schools.”

Schools showing interest in joining the MSL include Chillicothe, Fairfield Christian, Grove City Christian, Logan and Worthington Christian.

Another potential problem comes from the OCC looking to replace Watkins

Memorial, which will be joining the six MSL schools in the LCL. OCC commissioner Dave Cecutti said MSL schools looking to fill that void include Bexley, Canal Winchester, Grandview, Hamilton Township, Teays Valley and Whitehall. Chillicothe, Logan and Marion Harding also applied for the OCC as well as Jonathan Alder, which has since joined the Marion County-based Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference (MOAC).

Cecutti said he expects the 32-school OCC to find a replacement for Watkins Memorial in the next few weeks, but there also is a possibility that the conference could expand.

“The one-for-one swap (of a new

school to replace Watkins Memorial) is there, but we’re also looking into adding another (eight-team) division,” Cecutti said. “If it’s in our best interest to add a fifth division then it’s something we will do.

“I really don’t know for sure what direction we will be going, but we are looking into all available options.”

Hayes expects the MSL to remain in three divisions, even if only five teams join the conference. That will mean two eight-team divisions and one with seven teams.

“We are staying with the possibilSee MSL, page B3

Commentary

Athletes learn to deal with adversity The achievements of the high school student-athletes writing in my summer series are notable and numerous. They have won state championships in bowling, football, golf, wrestling and track and field.

They have achieved great individual and team success.

But along the way there LARRY have been defeats and disLARSON appointments.

Each of these seniors-to-be explains how he or she has learned to handle adversity.

Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I have a picture of myself after losing to Dublin Coffman in the regional Division I championship game my sophomore year on my bedroom wall. I see it every morning when I wake up. I think it is important to remember what defeat feels like as it creates motivation to improve and the desire and drive to never feel like that again.”

Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Disappointment is the goal that you failed to accomplish. Defeat is when you fail to try again. Never give up.”

Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “To be the best, one must experience defeat. One must know his mistakes and know where he does not want to be again.”

Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “No matter how good you are there will always be disappointments. My advice is to move on and learn from your mistakes because defeat will make you stronger.”

Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I handle defeat and disappointment as fuel to go out and work even harder to be more prepared.”

Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Just tell yourself that you don’t ever want to feel that pain of losing again and that you need to work much harder to be successful.”

Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “Use defeat and disappointment as a means to grow and work harder. Then simply move on and do better next time.”

Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “Don’t let disappointment and defeat get to you because everyone has down days and if you worry a lot about it then things will continue to go down and will do more harm than good.”

Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “Defeat and disappointment are part of any game you play. What is important is that you are gracious in both victory and defeat.”

Speaking of being gracious, win or lose, the student-athletes next week will discuss how they view respect and sportsmanship in competition.

I’ll see you at a game.

Davidson pitcher Courtney Smith struck out 29 batters and hit the game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning in a 2006 Division I district final.

Top Individual Performances: No. 4

Smith shined in 22-inning game

By SCOTT HENNEN

Counting down to No. 1

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Courtney Smith remembers it like it was yesterday, even though it was more than five years ago.

The emotion. The excitement.

The exhaustion. The strikeouts.

The grand slam.

Especially the grand slam.

In May 2006, Smith, a standout senior pitcher for the Hilliard Davidson High School softball team, went head-to-head with Sarah Phillips of Olentangy Liberty for 22 innings in a Division I district final at Pickerington Central.

The three-day marathon wasn’t decided until Smith hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd for a 4-1 victory.

Smith also had 29 strikeouts, the 11th highest total in state history for an extra-inning game, according to the Ohio High School Athletic Association. In 2010, Hayley Flynn of Duncan Falls Philo set the state record with 55 strikeouts in 24 innings against Thornville Sheridan.

“The biggest thing I remember is this wave of emotion,” Smith said. “I was exhausted

10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries.

9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers

advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 5135 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the freethrow line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists.

8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays, the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24).

7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament.

Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 en-

tering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists.

6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held.

5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 15-9 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining.

and excited both at the same time. It was amazing.”

It remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game. Liberty and Davidson played seven scoreless innings on May 17, were rained out and never took the field on May 18

and played 15 innings on May 19.

“The first day (the teams) were neck and neck and I don’t think anyone had a hit,” Smith said. “I remember it rained for like three or four hours (on May 17) and there were no lights (at

Pickerington Central).

“When we got rain the second day (May 18), I was really nervous because we had been playing well before the rain came. We were all really anxious to get out there and didn’t want to wait another day.”

ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered.

Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 5-10.

Check back next week for No. 3 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

NOS. 5-10:

Smith’s counterpart also had an impressive performance.

Phillips struck out 30, which ties her for ninth in the state record book with Medina’s Jessica Miller in 1999, but she also surrendered Smith’s district-title winning home run.

“I think she said it was a riseball, but I don’t think so because I wouldn’t have hit it if it was (a riseball),” Smith said. “Maybe I got out ahead of the pitch before it started to move or maybe it didn’t move. I knew it was high and I was able to make contact and get it over the fence.”

It was the first home run Smith had hit at any level. She played one season at the University of Indianapolis and never hit another homer.

“I would have to say the grand slam was better (than the 29 strikeouts),” said Smith, who had 77 wins at Davidson. “It was my first homer ever and just to be able to finally end that game.”

Liberty took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 22nd. Rebecca Adam hit a two-out double and moved to third on a single by Phillips.

On the boys side, Tee-k Kelly of Wheaton, Ill., birdied Nos. 17 and 18 in the final round for a two-stroke victory over Matthew Gerard of Rocky River. Kelly had a three-day total of 1over 214 and Gerard shot 216.

There was a four-way tie for third at 218 that included Hilliard Darby’s JooYoung Lee and Dublin Jerome’s Mert Selamet.

Also competing from central Ohio were Dublin Coffman’s Satoshi Tanaka (219, T-seventh) and Thomas Dunne

SIDS Fundraiser

Family is committed to making difference

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

At the end of his eulogy for his 2-month-old son, Will, on Aug. 7, 2009, Nathan Hurd urged mourners to take action.

“I told people, ‘When you think of our family, don’t think about how sad it is that we lost a child, embrace the commitment to make a difference and do something positive,’” said Hurd, a Grove City resident whose son died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

His words struck a chord with family and friends, who approached Hurd’s father-in-law, Bill Brestle, about organizing what became the BabyWill.Org/ SIDS Awareness 5-kilometer run.

The second annual event will be held July 30 at downtown Columbus’Genoa Park on the riverfront side of the Center of Science and Industry (COSI), 333 W. Broad St. Sign-in for the event is at 7:30 a.m. and the race begins at 8 a.m.

After family and friends organized the inaugural event, Nathan and Michelle Hurd and their children — Sam (6), Nate (4) and Jack (11 months) — are more involved this year.

The event will take place nearly two years to the day that Will died of SIDS. “Originally that date wasn’t our choice,” Nathan Hurd said.

“Our friends and family decided

Nathan and Michelle Hurd are organizing a 5K to be held July 30 to raise money for SIDS research. Their infant son, Will, died almost two years ago. The Hurds are pictured with their sons, Nate, 4, who is holding a picture of Will, Sam, 6, and Jack, 11 months.

to do it on that day because they were really looking out for us.

“An event like this is for a very serious cause and we’re so emotionally invested in it. At the same time, you can’t be sad. The hardest part has been working through our grief while staying positive

and optimistic that someday the medical community will solve SIDS.” SIDS, the leading cause of death in otherwise healthy babies between the ages of 1 month and 1 year, is responsible for about 50 deaths per every 100,000

Titanium Lacrosse adding ‘Elite’ teams Titanium Lacrosse is adding an “Elite” teams program to help prepare high school boys to play on the Division I college level.

The program initially will include three teams: Titanium Elite 2014, Titanium Elite 2013 and Titanium Elite 2012. The teams are expected to play in one fall and two summer recruiting tournaments on the East Coast.

The player-selection process involves: •Aug. 21: Deadline for player nominations. Players must be nominated by a high school or club lacrosse coach. Nomination forms are available at www.titaniumlacrosse.com.

•Aug. 31: Prospective team members will be invited to try out.

•Sept. 10-11: Tryouts at Dublin Jerome High School.

•Sept. 15: Selected players invited to join Titanium Elite.

me how big and how passionate that group is,” he said. “The other group was families who have been personally impacted or know someone who has been affected

by SIDS.” He said the event attracted several families who brought with them people to represent children who had died from SIDS. “There were more people there that we didn’t know than ones that we did,” he said. “It was very moving to see people show support for such a great cause. But on the other hand, it reminds you how serious the cause is because we have a personal connection to it.”

Michelle Hurd said it was emotional watching more than 400 runners and walkers at the start of last year’s event.

“There was a sea of emotions going on,” she said. “It was the first anniversary of Will’s death and I was due to have a (Caesarean) section two days later. It was hard remembering what had happened a year ago and here I was getting ready to have our fourth child.”

The registration fee is $30 for adults and $20 for children 12 to 18 who sign up before Friday, July 15. It is $35 and $25 for those who sign up after July 15. Visit BabyWill.Org for information.

SIDS Awareness run raised more than $17,000 for research. Hurd said the event attracted two types of participants.

MSL in sports like football, you worry about injuries. You have concerns for the well-being of the kids.”

As for a timetable for restructuring the MSL, Hayes would like to have things in order by the end of the calendar year.

“My desire, as I shared with athletics directors and superintendents, is to know what we are doing by December,” he said. “Doing that will meet the guidelines of our league constitution. We (as a league) can vote on changes in either December or May, and we want to have things in line by December.”

ity of adding five new schools and having 23 teams in the league,” Hayes said. “It seems to be the idea with the most support. I think, for the big picture, that’s the best scenario.”

Bloom-Carroll athletics director Chad Little said it might be time for change if only for the fast growth of suburban schools.

“Licking Heights was outgrowing everyone (in the MSL-Cardinal) and Bloom-Carroll is the smallest school in the MSL-Buckeye,” Little said. “When you are going up against (large-enrollment) schools like Canal shennen@thisweeknews.com (Winchester) and Teays Valley, especially www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

SMITH Continued from page B1 Emily Capretta followed with a liner that went off the glove of shortstop Cassady Busellato, scoring Adam.

“It was a pitchers’ battle the whole time and we both gave up runs in the 22nd inning,” Smith said. “We went into the last inning with clear heads and ready to finish it.”

Erin Roberts led off the bottom of the 22nd with a single before Lauren Espe and Meredith Parish followed with bunt singles to load the bases. Smith didn’t waste time, sending the first offering from Phillips over the left-field fence. “(Phillips) had retired like 13 or 14 in a row before we came up in the 22nd, so having our No. 9 batter, Erin Roberts, come up and get a hit was big,” Davidson coach Angelo Forte said.

“Then Lauren Espe and Meredith Parish followed with bunts to load the bases and then (Liberty) shaded Courtney to right field. She had only hit one ball in her life to right field, so I was hoping she could get the ball to fall in left field so we could win

it. (The grand slam) was something I never saw coming.”

The Wildcats advanced to a regional semifinal at Ohio State, where they lost to Marysville 12-1 to finish the season 23-7.

Davidson catcher Kaylyn Heading said the district final was the kind of game that a player never forgets.

“It was 22 innings and those type of games just don’t come around often,” said Heading, who played four seasons at Rio Grande and graduated in 2010 with a degree in professional and business communication.

“Courtney pitched great and then came up and got the big hit like she had throughout the season.

It was a pretty magical ending.

It’s still pretty cool, even today.”

Forte said the game might never have reached the 22nd inning had a rule change not been made before the 2006 season.

Before that, after games reached the 10th inning, they were played according to international rules.

That meant at the beginning of each half inning, a runner was placed at second base with no outs.

“We lost a district final that

way to Mount Vernon (3-1 in 10 innings in 2002) and I had been pushing to get the rule changed for years,” Forte said. “I had been on both sides of the international tiebreaker, but I think the game is much-improved without it.”

Before Smith’s grand slam, it was her right fielder and catcher who combined to make the game’s biggest play 11 innings earlier.

Phillips was at second base with two outs in the top of the 11th when Kellie Schultz singled to right field. Phillips hesitated as she rounded third as right fielder Abbey Parsley threw to Heading. There was a collision at the plate, but Heading held on to the ball to end the scoring threat.

“Courtney had a great individual performance, but we made some great defensive plays across the board and that (play at the plate) was definitely one of those,” Forte said. “I was talking to Abbey last week and she said that it was one of the most memorable plays she had as a softball player.”

Along with her 29 strikeouts,

Smith surrendered 14 hits and issued two walks, one in the sixth and one in the 11th. The Wildcats had 16 hits against Phillips.

“That game was a duel between Courtney and Sarah Phillips,” Heading said. “Courtney was always one to find ways to get people out. I remember her riseball, screwball and changeup were working. She just found ways to, not necessarily strike them out, but to get people out.”

Smith graduated from the University of Indianapolis in 2010 with a marketing degree. She stayed in Indianapolis and works in communications for an economic development firm called Develop Indy.

“I was talking to a guy from work last week who was a swimmer in high school,” Smith said.

“I told him about it and he thought it was great and really had an appreciation that I had played in a game like that. It definitely was a game that I’ll never forget.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Tyler fires up wood-burning oven for new pizza offering Bryan Tyler wasn’t sure what to think of his pizzas, so he let the public decide.

He put up a sandwich board outside of his Bread Basket shop in Reynoldsburg, announcing that free samples were available.

“That brings them right in,” he said.

The verdict: The recently introduced Naples-style pies are a winner.

He praises his wood-burning oven, in part. He

and a friend installed the Forno Bravo brick oven themselves. Plus, they encased it in a stucco outer shell shielding layers of mortar, fiberglass insulation and insulated concrete.

Using oak and ash woods, the oven burns at 700 to 800 degrees, cooking the pies in three to four minutes.

The same fresh-tossed dough is used in the pepperoni and vegetable rolls, two of the more popular items in the store, 7516 E. Main St. There is no seating inside the bakery.

The menu simple, offering four types of pizzas — classic Margherita, pepperoni, cheese and vegetable — that come in two sizes: the small, using 8 ounces of dough for a roughly 12-inch pizza, or the large, 16 ounces of dough producing a 16-inch pie, give or take.

His simple, all-purpose sauce uses fresh tomatoes (while in season), garlic, sweet basil, kosher salt and pepper, cooked in the oven before being thinly spread across the dough. The toppings also are judiciously applied.

“We’re trying to keep it simple,” he said.

The finished product features a pie with a semi-thick, chewy crust, with the edges blistered by the heat. He said those who prefer thinner, crispier crusts can ask for them.

Whole pizzas range in price from $5.50 to $7 for a small and $9.25 to $11 for large. They’re also sold by the

By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek slice, $1.50 each.

He experimented with different Bryan Tyler, owner of the Bread Basket, tosses pizza dough doughs in the beginning, making pizinto the air as he prepares one of his new pizzas on July 13. zas out of Italian and sourdough loaves The Bread Basket just added pizzas to the menu and uses a — the one he preferred — but cuswood-fired oven to bake them. To see a video, please visit tomers prefer the traditional crust. www.ThisWeekNews.com.

(Tyler said he might offer the sourdough option in the future.)

It’s a major programming change for the Bread Basket, known for artisan breads, cookies and assorted baked goods. The place got its start in Gahanna six and a half years ago and later relocated to the Creekside development. Tyler opened the Reynoldsburg store in March 2010.

He said he’s always had a desire to cook all of his breads in a wood-fired oven, so serving pizza was a natural progression. He’s also started cooking some of the breads in the oven, which leaves the loaves with a cracklier exterior. Yes, the process involves more time, because the bread has to be rotated, which is not an issue with a traditional oven.

And then there’s the capacity issue, because the wood-burning oven is only 4 feet in diameter.

“It’s definitely a labor of love,” he said.

Tyler said he wants to begin offering pizzas at the Gahanna store, but those plans are on hold because of the financially troubled Creekside development, where Bread Basket is located. So he will wait to install new kitchen equipment until those issues are settled.

The Bread Basket is open for lunch and dinner hours Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call (614) 322-9587.

Abdominal pain not uncommon Recurrent abdominal pain is very prevalent in children and adolescents, making it one of the most common reasons children are referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist, a doctor who treats problems with the digestive tract and liver.

One common functional disorder that causes abdominal pain in children is irritable bowel syndrome. IBS is a gastrointestinal disorder that manifests itself as recurrent abdominal pain associated with changes in bowel movements. Children with IBS may have diarrhea, constipation or both. A typical symptom is bellyache around the belly button that usually goes away or gets better after a bowel movement. Between bellyaches, the child feels fine.

The exact cause of IBS is unknown, but it is believed to be due to hypersensitive nerve cells that reside in the intestines and

send messages to the brain. Stress, certain types of foods such as spicy or greasy foods, affeine, DESALEGN cchocolate or YACOB milk have been known to trigger IBS symptoms.

Physical and emotional trauma can also play a role in the development of IBS. Some children with IBS tend to be more sensitive to stressful situations such as family conflict, moving, taking tests and issues with peers.

Sometimes, triggers are never identified. Though IBS generally doesn’t lead to serious health problems, it may affect school attendance and daily function. It is important to consult your primary care physician to address the prob-

lem and rule out other reasons why your child may be having abdominal pain.

Functional dyspepsia (indigestion) is another common functional disorder. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, burping, decreased appetite, stomach pain and/or bloating. It is not associated with bowel movement changes. Indigestion usually happens infrequently, but be sure to monitor symptoms regularly and consult your primary physician with concerns.

Some other gastrointestinal problems that may cause recurrent abdominal pain are Celiac disease, gastritis and lactose intolerance. Your doctor will decide what labs and tests need to be done, based on the symptoms and physical exam. More serious diseases such as appendicitis, Crohn’s disease, inflammation of the pancreas, stomach ul-

Updated daily, ThisWeekNews.com

cers and intestinal blockage will typically cause sudden and persistent pain with other associated symptoms such as severe vomiting, fever, bloody stools or significant weight loss.

Diagnosis of any functional gastrointestinal disorder is based on a thorough history and physical exam, along with a few basic lab tests. Treatment may involve dietary and lifestyle changes and/or medication. Consult your primary care physician if you suspect your child may be suffering from any of these disorders.
