Drivers ticketed for traveling on closed roads By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
It looks inviting, but motorists trying to drive through the construction area at Alton Darby and Roberts roads may get fined $115. Hilliard police cited seven people each on July 9 and 10, for example, the first days they started cracking down on people driving through the closed roads, and they’re continuing to ticket drivers almost daily. “We’ve been out there over the last week doing warnings and enforcement,” said Hilliard Police Chief
Douglas Francis. “We have residents complaining to our officers that they thought they could drive through it, even though it’s very well-marked and they are driving through a construction zone.” Francis said he drove out to the site last week, “and there were cars driving through the actual closed part of the road where they were doing construction because there was an opening between the barricades. “That’s blatant, and that’s what we’ll enforce,” he said. “We have to Roberts Road looking east at the intersection at Alton & Darby Creek
The National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA) returns to the Franklin County Fair on Friday, July 22, after a long hiatus. “The NTPA was at the Franklin County Fair in the late 1970s or early ’80s,” said Marvin Epperson, a safety technical inspector for the NTPA. “From there, they went to Ohio State Tractor Pullers Association, which was a more local statesanctioned tractor pull in the ’80s and ’90s. (Then) they went to a local county fair pull that wasn’t sanctioned. This year, they talked about bringing a sanctioned pull back.” “We know they are always a big draw at different county fairs,” Allison Rushley, senior fair board member, said of the NTPA. “We met with them and talked at the Ohio Fair Managers Association convention in January. We had to make a decision that day, because another county fair wanted them the (same) day.” Based in Worthington, the NTPA was formed in 1969 by pullers from eight states, including Ohio, who wanted uniform rules for the sport. It also publishes The Puller magazine and has a show televised on the RFD-TV network. “NTPA was one of the first sanctioned tractorpulling organizations in the United States,” Epperson said. “They do full technical inspections at every pull, not just once a year. Every vehicle is inspected for all the safety equipment every time they show up, no matter where it’s at.” Friday’s NTPA Region II event starts at 7:30 p.m. in the grandstand and will feature four classes: Super Farm Tractors, Four-Wheel Drive Trucks, Light Pro Stock Tractors and Two-Wheel Drive Trucks. Epperson said they are four of the most popular classes in the pulling world. “We thought four classes would suit the type of crowd they have up there, and show them a little bit of everything.

Settlement filed Norwich Township in 2010 bus crash Fire chief announces retirement By GARY BUDZAK
By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A settlement agreement has been filed between Urban Express Transportation and the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) more than a year after a bus crash involving Heritage Middle School students. “A settlement agreement was filed late last week,” said PUCO spokeswoman Jill Kocher. “The PUCO commissioners will consider the settlement agreement in due course.” “Commercial transportation companies in Ohio are public utilities,” under PUCO’s jurisdiction, its website states. “The PUCO registers motor carriers and ensures they adhere to state and federal safety standards.”
A closer look The settlement was processed July 14. It states that Eastern Horizon Inc. (doing business as Urban Express Transportation) has agreed to 15 code violations.

In a surprise announcement, Norwich Township Fire Chief David Long said that he will retire on Jan. 20, 2012. “After 36 years, I’ve decided it’s time for me to retire,” an emotional Long said at the Norwich Township trustees meeting on July 18. “After months of prayer and conversation with my Dave Long wife, this is the right time for us. “I certainly appreciate everything the community and township has done for me. You guys are all co-workers and friends, and I’m going to miss each and every one of you.” The meeting room, which was filled with

firefighters, some of whom were being honored for their own years of service, erupted in applause. They patted Long on the back and shook his hand. “Well, Chief, that was certainly a surprise,” said trustee Mike Cope. “I had promised (trustee Larry) Mr. Earman a year or so ago, I would give more than ample time and notice,” Long said. “Like I said, it’s just the right time.” “While it will be a great loss to us, there is life beyond the fire department,” Cope said. Then jokingly, he said, “We’re not inclined to accept your resignation this evening, and I’m not sure we legally have to. We might just refuse it. At any rate, we’ll have more to say in the coming months, and we do appreciate the notice.” “Dave, I’m sad to see you go,” Hilliard Police Chief Douglas Francis said. “I’m not going to date us, but Dave was an instructor of mine in hazardous materials at
Columbus State when I was getting my associate’s degree.” Long, 54, has spent his entire career with the Norwich Township Fire Department, starting immediately after graduating from Hilliard High School in 1975. He has an associate’s degree in fire science from Columbus State Community College. Long was promoted to assistant chief in 1996 and to chief in 2004. He is a certified paramedic, fire instructor and fire inspector. Long lives in Marysville, and he and his wife have two children. Before going into a planning session and subsequent executive session, the trustees passed a resolution to adopt the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio’s (SWACO) solid waste management plan update. The plan is required by Ohio law, is updated every five years, and is good until 2025. The plan describes SWACO’s progress in achieving Ohio’s recycling mandates.

Settlement filed in 2010 bus crash Continued from page A1 out a valid commercial driver’s license; failing to investigate driver’s previous employment record; using a driver not medically examined and certified; and failing to cease operating when insurance was canceled. Eastern Horizon agreed to pay $16,310 in fines for those violations, a reduction from a possible $23,300 in fines. The agreement said that is conditional “due to improvements to respondent’s business operations and remedial actions taken by respondent. Respondent is now operating as Affordable Tours & Transportation Inc. d.b.a. Urban Express Transportation. Since the investigation and filing of this case, Affordable Tours has cooperated with staff to bring its operations into compliance with the applicable law and commission’s rules.” The PUCO staff conducted an on-site educational seminar at Affordable Tours on July 13. The agreement further states that Affordable Tours will be subject to a review in
six months upon the commission’s approval. If critical violations are found at that time, an additional $6,990 fine “and/or a revocation of respondent’s current operating certificate” are possible. In addition, Eastern Horizon’s certificate to operate will be canceled as part of the agreement; and Affordable Tours will be reclassified as solely an intrastate carrier. Columbus-based Affordable Tours and Transportation’s website boasts President Obama was a recent customer. The company’s fleet features buses and limousines. On May 21, 2010, a Ford commercial bus carrying a dozen students to Cedar Point as part of a school band field trip went into a ditch along Route 4 in Huron County. There were no serious injuries. Ronald Williams, the driver of the bus, had fallen asleep at the wheel, according to one of the chaperones who had rushed to wake him. Williams was later convicted of child endangering, drunken driving and failing to possess a commercial driver’s license.
The accident caused the Hilliard City School District to re-examine its transportation policies last summer. “Hilliard City Schools cares about our students and their safety is our top priority,” district spokeswoman Amanda Morris said earlier this week in a written statement. “We took the accident from May 2010 very seriously and completed a thorough review of the district’s policies, practices and procedures regarding transporting students for school-related trips. We did not wait for an outside group’s finding before we took action to increase the peace of mind for parents sending students on school-related trips, even those that do not use school resources. “Schools are now required to keep a log of all student trips, even those that are privately paid for, so that we can use all available resources to verify pertinent details related to all field trips. This extra step has increased communication amongst district staff members and provides an additional layer of security for our students.”

CLOSED Continued from page A1 balance between residents not knowing, but the problem is we stopped a lot of people who knew and were just trying to shortcut.” Roberts Road, which currently has offset east and west intersections 900 feet apart at Alton & Darby Creek Road, was closed July 5 to build a traditional four-way intersection, with new traffic control signage and signals to tie the east and west portions of the road together. There’s pavement already down, but there’s still work to be done. “What’s happening right now that enables people to drive through is we’re doing our paving operations, and they’re seeing clear pavement they can drive on,” said Greg Payne, spokesman for the Franklin County Engineer’s Office. “What we have there is not the final pavement. It’s not been striped, but we are in a paving mode out there.” The engineer’s office, which is overseeing the $2.9million project, has said the area should be completed in mid-August before school starts. During construction, motorists are instructed to use a detour around the closed roadways that follows Davis Road, Walker Road, Alton & Darby Creek Road, Renner Road, and Spindler Road. “Some are struggling trying to figure out how to get home,” Francis said. “We’re having some additional signs put up in order to clarify what’s closed. The other problem we’re having is people are frustrated: It’s a long detour, and they don’t want to take the detour, and they drive through.” The construction crew is put in harm’s way if a motorist tries to cut through, and with the trucks and other heavy paving equipment driving around the work zone, trespassing motorists are also at risk. “The contractor is working during non-traditional work hours. They are on an accelerated schedule,” Payne said. “If someone were flying through the project, there could be the potential hazards for both the workers and the motorists. There are also workers who could be out in the street not expecting a car to come through. We don’t have anybody out there flagging. It would be a surprise to see someone.” Payne said those being ticketed during the 45-day closure are through travelers. “Our personnel are making sure that the barricades are in place,” he said. “The motorists are urged to use the detour route, be patient with us, and we will be done with our project before the start of the school year if all goes well with the weather.”

Fair pulls in NTPA event Continued from page A1 be a good choice.” Epperson said the drivers hail from Ohio and surrounding states. For those who are new to pulling, the modified trucks and tractors are pulling a weighted sled along a dirt track. As the weight is pulled, it is transferred to the front of the sled, creating
resistance and making it harder to pull. Those who complete the 300-foot course have what is called a full pull. If there is more than one full pull, more weight is added to the sled and whoever pulls the weight the farthest wins. Epperson, 46, from Camden, Ohio, said he’s been involved with the sport since he was 10.
“I grew up around it. My older brother used to take me to them when I was a little kid, and I just fell in love with them.

Hilliard rockers hit Newport again By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Hilliard rock band ofHuman will be co-headlining a concert with Columbus’MT20 Saturday, July 23, at the Newport Music Hall. “There’s going to be four other groups performing as well,” said ofHuman drummer Adam Gilbert. “The doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the first band is on at 6:45 or 7. I know we’re playing at 9 p.m.” ofHuman is no stranger to the Newport, with its members playing there together and in other groups 10 times in the past couple of years, Gilbert said. “We love that place,” he said. “It’s such a cool stage, because we know all the history, and all the bands that we’ve seen there. It’s such a pleasure to get to share that same stage. Unfortunately, not with those bands yet, but we’re working on it.” The quartet is working on it indeed. In May, ofHuman released an EP called “Ever Present” on Crushtone Music, a Clevelandbased record label. The EP was produced by Jim Wirt, whose credits include Fiona Apple and Incubus. “We got to work with a producer who has such a great ear and really knows what he’s doing,” Gilbert said. “It was really refreshing to get to work with someone who was on the same

Whining: The ofHuman Story,” Simmons said, “Josh said it, we liked it, so we kept it. There’s no pre-story behind it. There’s nothing even to make up to make it sound like a cool idea.” ofHuman plays what Gilbert calls progressive rock (“We’re progressive in that we want our own unique sound”), writes its own original songs that feature three-part harmony vocals. Gilbert said the group is inspired by artists such as AC/DC, Aerosmith, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Police and Prince. The band members, all 23 years old and juniors at Ohio State, are focusing on music full time. ofHuman rehearses in a rented warehouse off of Lyman Drive, and they call Hilliard home – for now. “We all still currently reside here,” Gilbert said. “We are working on booking a lot of shows, so hopefully soon we’ll be living out of hotel rooms and my van. But until then, we’re still in Hilliard.” Admission is $10 or $15 day of show. For more information, visit www.promowest.com.

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 bit more central. 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 lowered 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 trum-

peting 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 measurements 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. “Jacob Mills is described as follows: ‘Complexion baldhead-
ed’ and ‘tottering with old age.’ John Mahany’s ‘general appearance’ consists in the fact he ‘has a mother in Cincinnati.’ Scott Maythe has ‘two scars on left leg caused by the bite of a dog.’The ‘general appearance’ of another, Captain Mack, consists of some marks ‘in India ink’ and ‘a wife and four children.’Another, Silas Adkins, ‘personal appearance’ is recorded as ‘a scar on right cheek and a wife in Licking County.’ Jonathan Blodgett was a ‘much married man’ with ‘a scar on the right side and a wife in Huron.’ “Squire Bull is ‘blind of the right eye out.’ John A. Davis is minutely described as having ‘a scar on the right shin and one on upper lip.’ Roswell Fleming was ‘lame on the left knee.’ George Herbey’s ‘personal appearance’ would be sure to give him away because in addition to a dark complexion, his ‘wife in Ashtabula County had a scar on the right ancle and foot.’ Finally, there was Alfred Beason, alias Martin. Of him, the record simply said, “think he went out in 1835.” These brief descriptions tell us at least a little about some of the men who literally built the capital city in its earliest days. And one last note: For all of the confidence the writer in 1901 had of the Bertillon System and its superiority to old ways, it should be mentioned that two years later, in 1903, two men in Leavenworth Prison were not only found to have the same name but precisely the same measurements. Soon a new system — fingerprinting — would take the place of the “infallible” Bertillon method. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Hilliard quartet plays Thurber House By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Thurber House’s Literary Picnics series features writers reading from their works, but what makes tonight’s (July 20) “New Voices” event unique is that it will also have a musical performance by a quartet of Hilliard Davidson students. “The New Voices picnic is something that we started a couple years ago, and it highlights emerging authors in various gen-
res,” said Anne Touvell, Thurber House deputy executive director. “All three authors have been published and are Ohio-connected. Each one reads from their work. This time, we’re going to offer the music before the readings start. This is the first time we’ve ever done that.” At 7 p.m., a quartet consisting of Davidson students Mary Carson (viola), Jason Ng (cello), Paige Sibeveih (violin) and Alina Wungsirivesh (violin) will play the Presto movement from Mozart’s
“String Quartet No. 4 in C Major” and short solos and duets. “It’s very fun to play,” Ng said. “It’s not too long a piece, but it’s very happy, energetic. It shows all that we have as young musicians.” The quartet belongs to Columbus-based ProMusica Chamber Orchestra’s student advisory board. “A lot of what they do is reaching out to schools to promote the arts and music,” Ng said. “(ProMusica is) a model for Davidson’s Chamber Orchestra — both have small numbers, but really out-
standing musicians and a great director.” During the summer, the quartet has been practicing at Davidson. “We’ve known each other a while and know each other’s musical abilities and all that we can offer to this quartet performance,” he said. Ng, who will be a sophomore, said he’s been playing the cello for five years, and plans to at least minor in it in college. He said music is an important
part of his life. “It’s that feeling of accomplishment when you’ve finished a piece and mastered it, and thought about all the ways to make it sound like your own. Then once you’ve play it through, it just feels good.” In addition to the music, there will be readings by: • Akron native Amanda Flowers, whose murder mystery debut features a college librarian. • Cleveland resident Lee Kravitz, whose first book chronicles a year
of reconnecting with what’s most important in life. • New Albany High School senior Ellen Waddell, who has published a book of essays. Touvell said people can purchase a catered dinner or bring their own for the picnic. Dinner begins at 6:15 p.m. Tickets are $15 (reading only) or $25 (dinner included). The Thurber House is at 77 Jefferson Ave. For more information, call (614) 464-1032 or visit www. thurberhouse.org.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Continued from page A1 town, dedicated to providing a comfortably unique environment where real people and businesses connect.” The plan’s goals are to: • Become a better-connected community. • Grow into a truly sustainable city. • Promote active and healthy lifestyles. • Define and reinforce the character of Hilliard. •Optimize development potential in ways that benefit current and future citizens. • Collaborate with surrounding communities and local stakeholders. “Some things will be easier to achieve than others, but I definitely think we can make progress on all of those,” Talentino said. “All of them have things that are easy to do, and don’t cost a lot; and things that are difficult to achieve, cost more and are going to take a lot more cooperation.” Four focus areas — Old Hilliard, the retired railroad corridor, Big Darby and the I-270 corridor —
“were defined as priority areas for growth and development,” the report said. “The focus areas were chosen because they are places where there is significant potential for economic development, and where such development would have a significant impact toward improving the image of the community.” The plan also looks at subjects such as transportation, parks and public spaces, economic development and utilities in the study area. Talentino said a change to any one element can affect the character of the entire city. “The classic example is what do you want in the way of streets? Do you want Cemetery Road to be the Champs-Elysees, with six lanes in each direction, which will carry all this traffic? Well, you can easily build it, but is that really what you want? So you have to make decisions based on that — what do you think will be better for people in the long run?” After further review, the comprehensive plan is expected to be approved by Hilliard City Council this fall, Talentino said.

Wildcats’ Smith shined in 22-inning game By SCOTT HENNEN 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 headto-head with Sarah Phillips of Olen-
tangy 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 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.” 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 See SMITH, page C2
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

Seadogs secure fourth consecutive SSCL title By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Andrea Kjerrumgaard/ThisWeek
The Marlins’ Tyler James Long swims the second leg of the boys 15-18 200-meter medley relay during the SSCL meet.
The Upper Arlington Swim & Racquet Club defended its Suburban Swim Club League championship on July 11 at the Powell community pool, although the meet was cut short because of bad weather. It was the Seadogs’fourth consecutive title. They scored 2,635.5 points to finish ahead of Muirfield (2,513), Olentangy (2,345.5) and Hilliard (1,752). Swim & Racquet also finished first (405) in the diving competition, ahead of Hilliard (248), Olentangy (108) and Bexley (103). Swim & Racquet won five of the nine diving age groups.
Muirfield did not enter a dive team. The diving event was held in the afternoon on July 11 — after the bad weather had passed — and in the morning on July 12. The 10-and-under swimming competition was completed in the morning on July 11, but competitors in the 11-18 divisions only completed three events before bad weather forced nearly a two-hour delay. Meet officials then decided to cancel the remaining swimming portion of the meet because of lightning in the area. “Any coach would love to have all their swimmers be able to swim,” Swim & Racquet coach Barb Smith said. “That’s
what we train for all season long. That’s what these kids love. They want to get in there and race. It was kind of anticlimactic.” About 500 swimmers and 70 divers were registered to compete. “It’s extremely disappointing,” Olentangy coach Dan Harris said. “We work all summer for this. It’s the one big meet we have in our league. It’s disappointing. I always want to see the kids swim and they want to swim. You want to settle everything in the pool.” Final team standings for swimming were determined on the morning session, the three events held in the afternoon and the seedSee SSCL, page C2
SIDS Fundraiser
Family is committed to making difference By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
At the end of his eulogy for his 2-monthold 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 famiSee LARSON, page C2 ly 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 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 responsi-
ble for about 50 deaths per every 100,000 births in the United States. Since 1983, the number of SIDS deaths has fallen by more than 50 percent, but there are about 2,500 deaths per year in the U.S., according to websites dedicated to SIDS prevention. Last year, the BabyWill.Org/SIDS Awareness run raised more than $17,000 for research. Hurd said the event attracted two types of participants. “We have a lot of passionate runners who participate.

Young Rockets remain in contention in OICBL By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Adam Cairns/The Columbus Dispatch
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.
SMITH Continued from page C1 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. 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.
Counting down to No. 1 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: 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 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw 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
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
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 state-ranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering 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 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining.
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
Despite losing 12 of 20 players from last season’s championship team, the Gahanna Rockets remain in contention for another Ohio Independent Collegiate Baseball League title. Gahanna won the first two OICBL titles in 2009 and 2010. Last season, the Rockets finished 27-5 overall. The Rockets swept a doubleheader from Zanesville on July 17, winning 13-4 and 9-3 to improve to 14-4 in league play and 19-9 overall. The first game was a league contest. Gahanna entered the week first in the league ahead of the second-place Columbus Hawks, which were 12-5-1 before playing the Central Ohio Tropics on July 19. The Hawks defeated Gahanna 6-3 on July 13. The Tropics (7-7), Chillicothe Capitals (8-9-1), Otterbein Boys of Summer (5-7), Zanesville (48-1), Columbus Bruins (5-10) and Columbus Braves (4-9-1) followed in the standings. The Rockets continued play in the wood-bat league with games against the Bruins on July 19 and the Boys of Summer on July 20. The Rockets close out the regular season Thursday, July 21, when they play host to the Tropics. The OICBL tournament begins Monday, July 25. The championship game in the single-elimination tournament is July 29. “We’re not a bad team,” coach Ed Weston said. “We’re just a little young.” Gahanna bounced back from the loss to the Hawks by beating Lancaster 5-2 in a non-league game on July 14 at Blacklick Elementary School, its home
field. Joe Ford (Grove City/Sinclair Community College) gave the Rockets the lead for good with a lead-off home run in the second inning. “I knew I hit it good, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to get out or not,” said Ford, who is in his first year with the team. “We’re playing well. We’re in first place still by a game. We have to finish strong.” The Rockets added three runs for a 4-0 lead after two innings. Patrick Jackson (Grove City/Capital University) added an RBI single. Gahanna scored its other run in the sixth on Byron Johann’s (Pickerington/Sinclair Community College) sacrifice fly that scored Matt Luke (Plain City/Clark State Community College). Weston said solid pitching has been a key to his team’s success. Against Lancaster, left-hander Simon Davis, who graduated from Central Crossing High School in 2009 and plays at Notre Dame College in South Euclid, went the first five innings, allowing two runs on three hits. Andy Podalak, who graduated from Pickerington Central and plays at Bluefield College in Bluefield, Va., pitched four shutout innings to earn the save. “Last year’s team was an above-average team; we won the league,” Podalak said. “We have a very young team this year. We’re a little different than the last couple of years, but I think we’ll do real well.” Davis and Podalak are part of a solid staff that includes Darren Athey (Newark/Mount Vernon Nazarene), Sam Bohon (Worthington/Evansville), Jeremy Finchum (Galloway/Capital), Garrett Griffin (Grandview/Capital), Tyler Miller (Grove City/ Evansville), Todd Spadaro
(Grove City/Muskingum) and Jordan Sticklen (Plain City/Clark State Community College). Of the eight returning players this season, Podalak has the most experience. He’s in his fourth season with the team. “This is a little more of relaxed atmosphere,” Podalak said. “You come here and you just want to work on your game, take your hacks, make your reps in the field and get better overall. This prepares you. It definitely helps you get ready for the fall season coming into the spring.” Tim Heinmiller (Gahanna/Ohio Wesleyan) and Jordan Martin (Powell/Heidelberg) have shared the catching duties. Other players on the team are Jordan Chaney (Hamilton Township/Ohio Dominican), Allen Comer (Tipp City/Clark State Community College), Quentin Everman (Hilliard/Shawnee State), Phil Jaskot (Upper Arlington/Ohio State), Jake Mahon (Plain City/Evansville), Elijah Smurthwaite (Grove City/Olivet Nazarene), Pat Stone (Gahanna/John Carroll) and Caleb Woodson (Grove City/Cumberland University). Instead of holding tryouts, Weston gets his players from referrals. “Everybody plays and everybody has a good time,” Weston said. “We’re a pretty loose team. When they come to us they’re here to improve their skills with the wood bat. ... It’s a pretty laidback environment. Our retention is usually pretty good. We strive for good chemistry. We want our kids to have a good time and they do, but when they go on the ball diamond, they’re serious. There’s no fooling around. They go out and do their job.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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
At a glance The Mid-State League will undergo changes after six schools announced in the spring that they will be leaving at the end of the 2012-13 school year. Below is the current alignment: •MSL-Buckeye — Amanda-Clearcreek, Bloom-Carroll, Canal Winchester, Circleville, Fairfield Union, Hamilton Township, Logan Elm and Teays Valley •MSL-Cardinal — Berne Union, Fisher Catholic, Grandview, Harvest Prep, Liberty Union, *Licking Heights, Millersport and West Jefferson •MSL-Ohio — Bexley, Columbus Academy, *Granville, *Heath, *Lakewood, *Licking Valley, *Newark Catholic and Whitehall *Leaving MSL after 2012-13 school year
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
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 (largeenrollment) schools like Canal (Winchester) and Teays Valley, especially in sports like football, you worry about injuries. You have concerns for the wellbeing 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.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Continued from page C1 vibrant running community and it amazes 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.
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 possibility 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

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.
“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. pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Kendall Prince, who will be attending Ohio State this fall, got a jump on her college career by winning the American Junior Golf Association’s Columbus Junior presented by the Memorial Tournament. Prince, who is from Lake Oswego, Ore., shot an even-par 71 in the final round to finish with a three-day total of 6-over 219 and win her third AJGA event. The tournament was held July 11-14 at the Ohio State Golf Club’s Scarlet Course. “It felt great to defend the home turf,” Prince told AJGA.org. “I now know that I can play this course well and play it smart. I have a lot of confidence going into next year.” Prince finished ahead of Watterson High School’s Lauren Grogan (225). Also competing from central Ohio were Marysville’s Tess Frasier (234, sixth), Gahanna’s Sierra Everson (238, ninth), Columbus Academy’s Morgan Ransom (249, 13th), Watterson’s Erin Harper (251, 14th), Olentangy Liberty’s Julie Lechner (254, 16th), Westerville Central’s Sana Khan

“Highest Customer Satisfaction with Retail Banking in the North Central Region in a Tie.”†
*The annual percentage yield (APY) is accurate as of June 17, 2011. The rate is a variable rate and may change at any time. A minimum opening deposit of $100.00 is required. Must have a FirstMerit checking account in order to open the Reality Savings account and maintain an active FirstMerit checking account with at least 5 debit and/or credit transactions per statement cycle to waive the maintenance fee. Fees could reduce earnings on this account. Some service fees may apply; see bank for details. **All loans subject to credit approval. Offer valid through September 30, 2011. For example, a $120,000 3/1 ARM home purchase loan with 30-year amortization would have an interest rate of 3.50% for first 3 years of the loan. The 4th year interest rate would be 3.25% based on current 1-Year Constant-Maturity Treasury (CMT) Securities index of 0.19% and margin of 3.00%, and would be adjusted annually thereafter. With a 20% down payment and closing costs of $399.00, payments would be $538.86 for 36 months and $523.60 for the remaining 324 months. Payments shown do not include amounts for taxes and insurance. Actual payment obligation may be greater. The annual percentage rate (APR) on the loan would be 3.33% which is the cost of credit over the term of the loan expressed as an annual rate. APR is subject to increase after loan closing. Interest rate, index, and margin are those currently in effect. APR and closing cost offer do not take into account additional loan-specific finance charges or discount points you may be required to pay. Your final APR may also be adjusted based on factors including, but not limited to, loan amount, property location, loan type, occupancy type, property type, loan-to-value ratio, and your credit score. APR and Payments are calculated with 0.25% reduction in interest rate and margin for payments made with automatic funds transfer (AFT) from a FirstMerit account. APR and Payments will be higher without AFT. ***Closing costs of $399 exclude pre-paid interest, taxes, insurance, title and appraisal fees, secondary market delivery, loan to value and credit score related fees. †FirstMerit Bank received the highest numerical score in a tie among retail banks in the North Central region in the proprietary J. D. Power and Associates 2011 Retail Banking Satisfaction StudySM. Study based on 51,620 total responses measuring 28 providers in the North Central region (IN, KY, MI, OH, WV) and measures opinions of consumers with their primary banking provider.

Pediatric HealthSource
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, caffeine, chocolate or 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 problem and rule out other reasons why your child may be having abdominal pain. Functional dyspepsia (indigestion) is anoth-

er 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 ulcers 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.
