The school board hensive plan — including resources agreed to a full-time position in June.
During the coming years, the district must implement a number of curriculum-related state and federal initiatives. Having a full-time director in charge of that is essential for success, officials have said. “This is an exciting and challenging time in education,” Pollock said. “We are converting to new national standards in English language, arts and math and to new state standards in science and social studies. This is a four-year process that is being supported by the state as part of the Race to the Top initiative, in which Big Walnut is participating.” Pollock will work with the district’s technology coordinator and committee to create a plan for purchasing technology and training teachers to meet the technology portion of the new state standards.
Another important role for Pollock will be that of district liaison to the Ohio Department of Education on academic achievement. While the district has had someone in the position for about 12 years, budget constraints caused officials to leave the position vacant for the 2010-11 school year after Pat Martell left the district in July 2010. It was a half-time position at the time and had been for several years, Barber said. In June, the board of education approved making the position fulltime with an annual salary of $85,000. Pollock and her family live in in the district. Her husband, Dan, is a Delaware County sheriff’s deputy. They have two elementary-age children.

Village council approved a pre-annexation agreement earlier this year, and Delaware County commissioners approved the annexation on July 18. The ordinance was passed on an emergency basis because the pre-annexation agreement said council would expeditiously accept the annexation. Council’s vote sets the ball rolling for the Gibsons to petition the planning and zoning board to split the lot and sell part of it, Brehm said. In addition, the annexation allows Sunbury to eventually connect sidewalk on the property to a nearby trail. In other business, council voted 3-2 to purchase four picnic tables for the town square. The eight-foot picnic tables are made of recycled plastic and cost $1,126 each, council member Sean Currie said. Currie came to council with the recommendation to buy two tables, but council member Tom Zalewski proposed purchasing four. Council members Tommy Hatfield and Bill Metzler agreed.

Garden relocated to avoid loss by construction project By BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Genoa Township is overseeing a stormwater pipeline installation on Freeman Road that involves a slightly unusual task — relocating a garden. The project is scheduled for completion in August. Township administrator Paul Wise on July 22 said the garden was being moved this week. The improvements are the combined efforts of the township, the county engineer’s office and the
Ohio Department of Transportation. The project, undertaken by contractor Shelly and Sands Inc., hit a snag when a storm sewer outlet pipe was not found where one was thought to be on the southwest side of state Route 3. Plans then were made to run the pipe down the southwest side of Freeman Road, to the nearest outlet pipe, which is about 800 feet from the project site. That change put the line on right of way in front of the property of Robert Shortland.
In the right of way is a garden planted by Linda Shortland, Robert’s wife. She began the garden after the Shortlands moved to their home in 1969. Mrs. Shortland died in 2008, and her family said the garden she tended has special meaning to them. Earlier this month, Shortland, his daughter, Lee McDaniels, and his grandson, Joe McDaniels, asked township trustees to put the pipe back on the north side of Freeman Road. The trustees delayed the ap-

proval of an $81,870 purchase order for the project until they could talk with the county about running the pipe along the north side of the road. Trustee Karl Gebhardt said the township then decided the south side of Freeman Road was the better plan. “We had estimates from the county that there would be considerable cost to the project to go on the north side, with the minimum of an extra $12,000, (and) it
A closer look The issue is related to the Freeman Road and 3-C Highway intersection improvements. The project includes constructing left-turn lanes on state Route 3 at Freeman Road and installing a new traffic signal. The existing Genoa bicycle trail will be realigned at the intersection. Pedestrian signals and crosswalks will be added at Freeman Road and state Route 3, Delaware County engineer Chris Bauserman’s website says. The project, currently under construction by contractor Shelly and Sands Inc., hit a snag when a storm sewer outlet pipe was not found where one was thought to be on the southwest side of Route 3.

The Ohio Department of Youth Services agreed to contribute $150,000 toward the project, Spicer said. “The bottom line is that it has to be done. It’s one of those unfortunate situations,” Spicer said. In addition to the repairs, the center will add 2,200 square feet, bringing the overall project cost to $2.8-million, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The renovated and expanded facility will have a secure entrance for offenders, new therapy and treatment rooms, administrative offices and a multipurpose room.

with the intersection project by providing a good outlet for the drainage at the intersection,” Riley said. “We were also made aware of existing drainage problems with the lots on the south side of Freeman Road that have caused problems with septic systems.” The total project cost is about $1.1 million. Wise said moving the garden won’t delay the overall project’s completion.

ment of Youth Services, is scheduled to be completed by the beginning of 2012. It is financially beneficial for the county to continue its participation in the youth center rather than build its own, Spicer said. The cost of security, food, and construction quickly add up, he said. “It makes far more sense, unless you’re a county of one million people, that we’re in a shared facility,” Spicer said. “Hopefully with the remodeling, the addition and this done, hopefully it will be a considerable time before there’s some unforeseen thing needed. We’re fortunate four different entities are helping.” “It’s still cheaper than building our own facility,” commissioner Tommy Thompson said.

No decision was reached on whether to secure the tables, which weigh 344 pounds each, this year. “Even at 344 pounds, there’s no guarantee that somebody’s not going to walk off with them,” Metzler said.

Events Potter fundraiser delayed a week
Meteor campout is Aug. 13-14
Main Street Delaware has postponed its special “Harry Potter” costume party fund-raiser for one week because of recent hot weather. Originally scheduled for July 22, the event now will be held from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. July 29 at Ohio Wesleyan University’s Slocum Hall, 75 S. Sandusky St., Delaware. At the event, you will be sorted into your Hogwarts house, fitted for a wand, invited to participate in a “Harry Potter” character lookalike contest, treated Hogwarts-inspired food and drinks, and much more. The fund-raiser is being held in the “Great Hall” at Ohio Wesleyan University, a room in historic Slocum Hall that features a 70-footby-20-foot leaded-glass ceiling. Cost for the Harry Potter costume party is $25 per person with all proceeds benefiting Main Street Delaware, a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization that seeks to preserve and promote historic downtown Delaware. Tickets are available at Beehive Books, 25 N. Sandusky St.; online at www.mainstreetdelaware.weebly.com; or by calling (740) 3626050. If you’ve purchased a ticket and need a refund, please call (740) 362-6050.
Reservations are being taken for Preservation Parks of Delaware County’s annual Perseid Meteor Shower Campout. The free event will be held at Blues Creek Preserve, 9627 Fontanelle Road, near Ostrander. The campout begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 13 and ends at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 14. E-mail saundras@preservationparks.com by Aug. 5 with questions or to reserve a spot. Reservations are required. Campers will be able to view the night sky through scopes, and will view the moon (which will be full that night) and look for shooting stars and other visible celestial objects. A campfire, a night hike and other activities will be included. Participants must bring their own camping gear, camp chairs, snacks and drinking water. The annual Perseid Meteor Shower is so named because the meteors seem to arise from the constellation Perseus. The Perseid Meteor Shower has been observed for at least 2,000 years, and it peaks each year around Aug. 12 or 13 with up to 60 meteor sightings per hour. It is a longlasting shower – July 25-Aug. 25 – and Preservation Parks’ Perseid Meteor Shower Campout falls right at the peak. For more information, call (740) 524-8600, ext. 6.

thing, once a person has a jar, she gets all self-conscious. When a person’s self-conscious, things like savings jars don’t work anymore. Oh, and listen to this: No. 33: “Cute choppers: If your whitening strips are too big for your teeth, cut them in half horizontally. Two for the price of one!” AARP, are you serious? Seriously serious? Do I need to tell you that not buying whitening strips will save a person $35, $40, which she can then pop into her savings jar? Though if that person has to be told to cut those whitening strips horizontally and not the other way, I guess she’s never going to get it. Another thing, AARP. No. 95: “Home spa. Pour a gallon of whole milk into a warm bath, then climb in. (Cleopatra did.)” Pour a gallon of whole milk down the drain? Is that what you’re advocating? Oh, sure, you’re suggesting we sit in it first, as if that makes a difference, and then it goes down the drain, without nourishing babies or children or calves or anybody. Just because Cleopatra did, eh? I suppose if Cleopatra told you to get bitten by an asp, you would. Let’s just hope you followed tip No. 37 first: “Go out green: Biodegradable coffins and other eco-friendly burial measures can cost half to two-thirds less than traditional burials.” Have to see it for yourself? Fine. Go to www.aarp.org/bulletin.

I never go to yard sales, either, so No. 76: “Be a yard sale shark,” means nothing to me. Except that if MARGO AARP exBARTLETT pects its demographic to purchase casseroles and slippers and other “choice items” at yard sales, I’ll have to find another market segment. Oh, here’s one I can’t wait to tell you about, No. 13: “Pay yourself.” This is how it works: “Put an open jar in a conspicuous place in your home. When you do something you might have paid for — ironing, cooking, fixing a good latte — feed the jar with the amount you’d have spent. Do the same if you resist the impulse to buy something. The money will add up fast.” It sure will. Especially after, once I can see that jar over there, I start making money-spending decisions like mad. Suddenly, I feel like taking an Alaskan cruise. But I guess I won’t — put $3,500 in the jar. Sometimes I think I could drink two more lattes a day. But I won’t because that would be nuts. Eight dollars in the jar! And if someone out there in the world is willing to iron my white T-shirts and the dog’s dress-up kerchiefs, let’s say I thought about it. Twenty-five dollars, saved in the jar. A brilliant plan, right? Except it won’t work, because for one thing, I don’t have the $3,500 that I’m not using for the cruise — that’s why I’m not going on the cruise — and for another

You’d think, after years of reading magazine lists, I’d have learned not to take them seriously. “Eleven Secret Love Tests Guys Give Women,” “15 Things Men Don’t Want You to Know About Them,” “3 Stay-Svelte Tips for the Weekend” — you know the kind of lists I mean. True, I’ve moved on from the examples above — all actual lists taken from Glamour magazine’s website — to lists that are more, shall we say, wideranging and general in scope, but the lists themselves aren’t noticeably more intelligent. But the best of the worst lists I’ve seen recently arrived as a four-page, illustrated flier in the AARP Bulletin. It’s apparently a follow-up to a list published last summer, called “99 Great Ways to Save.” It was such a hit with readers, the editors decided to bring it back, this time calling it … well, this time calling it “99 Great Ways to Save” again. I can only imagine the happy laughter in the staff room when the decision to start compiling ways to save again was announced. My husband read the list first, then handed it to me because he knows the sort of thing I find hilarious. I can’t list all 99 Great Ways, of course; I’ll have to limit myself to mentioning a few of what I consider the greatest of the Great Ways to Save. No. 78, under the category “Home,” for instance. “Repurpose pantyhose,” this tip directs. “Use the legs to scrub dishes, shine shoes, train shrubs or store onions, flower bulbs and paintbrushes. The seat can protect squash and melons from garden critters or be stretched over a wire hanger to make a pond or pool skimmer.” Well, to address the last part first, if I had a pond or a pool and the need for a skimmer, I certainly wouldn’t take the chance of letting the neighbors recognize the business end of the skimmer as the sitting-down end of my pantyhose. Furthermore, I haven’t the slightest idea what a person can possibly hope to train shrubs to do. Odd jobs? Long division? All mine have ever been persuaded to do is play dead. But in any case, and leaving aside the fact that this tip and several others sound as if they were clipped from Heloise, I can’t use No. 78 because I almost never wear pantyhose.
You will see what we see!

The Furniture Heartland www.furnitureheartland.com
Have a "Mission" this summer
M
ission furniture was a name first coined by Joseph McHugh, a New York furniture manufacturer and retailer, to describe his line of straight line rustic style furniture that he began producing in 1895. The mission style furniture design was based on a chair that had been designed for the Swedenborgian Church of New Jerusalem in San Francisco. The word “mission” references the Spanish missions throughout colonial California.The style became increasingly popular following the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901. Mission furniture caught on as a generic term for the style of furniture and also the European term “arts and crafts” was used. Mission style is a design that emphasizes simple horizontal and
vertical lines and flat panels that accentuate the grain of the wood (usually oak). This style was also part of the Arts and Crafts movement which was inspired by the writings of John Ruskin and the romanticism that surrounded craftsmen that took pride in his own personal handiwork. The Arts and Crafts movement occurred both with the British and in the Americas, and it is great to know that furniture that dated back into such important eras of history are still popular today. The irony of the mission style furniture icon of the Arts and Crafts movement has been reversed of its original meaning in that it is now mass produced and merchandised, and thus loosing some of its uniqueness that people originally sought. Nevertheless, it is still a beautiful piece of furniture designed as such to add nice lines and art to a person’s home. By recognizing the mission style, homeowner’s recognize the style
that has lasted through the times. Mission arts and crafts has blended well from the 19th century all the way to the current 21st century in terms of interior design and décor. Characterized by clean, straight lines, geometric shapes, natural elements and handcrafted pieces, common materials associated with this decorating style include wrought iron, stained glass and hardwood.

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 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 priDESALEGN mary physician with concerns. Some other gastrointestiYACOB nal 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. Dr. Desalegn Yacob is an attending physician in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of Clinical Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

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-tohead 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,”
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. 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.
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
NOS. 5-10:
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 districttitle 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.

Soccer
Bexley graduate making impact in Kenya By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When he arrived in February in Likoni, a village of 100,000 people outside of Mombasa, Kenya, Ben Levey only knew how to count to 10 and say “hello” in Swahili. But the 2006 Bexley High School graduate quickly found a way to communicate with the children in the village — by playing soccer. “The passion for soccer over there is incredible. I have never seen anything like it before,” said Levey, who played for the Lions’ 2003 Ben Levey and 2005 Division II state championship teams. “It was an easy way to connect with the kids. “Passing the ball back and forth was so natural. There’s some sort of connection there. You feel like you’re friends all of a sudden.” While serving as a volunteer with Hatua Likoni, a community-based, non-government organization trying to alleviate poverty and promote education among the community’s youth, Levey became chairman of the Likoni Community Football League. The initial plan was to create a 14team league, but the LCFL quickly grew to 20, 28 and then 30 teams. “Once coaches over there saw that I was serious and they saw the goalposts going up, they wanted to get involved,” Levey said. “I wanted to keep it small because I wanted to make sure everything ran smoothly, but it grew to 600 kids before I knew it. It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league.” Bexley boys soccer coach Greg Kullman said he’s not surprised that Levey’s idea grew so quickly. “Even as a sophomore on the 2003 team, Ben was a natural leader,” said Kullman, who was an assistant coach on that team. “He’s a hard worker and he gets those people around him to work together. “Ben worked with our freshman coach last year and we were hoping
Ben Levey, a 2006 graduate of Bexley, works with residents near Mombasa, Kenya. Levey is the chairman of the Likoni Community Football League, which grew from its original plan of 14 teams to 30. “It was hard to turn down anyone who wanted to be part of the league,” Levey said.
to have him back this season, but he’s decided the work he’s doing in Kenya is much needed. I couldn’t argue with him.” Levey got involved with Hatua Likoni as a way of giving back. Hatua means “step forward” in Swahili, according to the organization’s website, www.hatualikoni.org. “At the end of my senior year at the University of Wisconsin, I decided I wanted to do something completely different,” Levey said. “I wanted to go to a foreign country and volunteer to do something before I started grad school.” Levey, who graduated from Wisconsin in spring 2010 with a degree
in biology, planned to begin pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy at the University of Pittsburgh in August, but he has pushed that back to next June. Levey, who returned from Kenya on May 15, said he plans to go back on Aug. 18 and will be there for at least three months, although he might extend that. Levey said was taken aback by the poverty he saw in Kenya, which is located on Africa’s eastern coast. On the soccer field, many children would tie together trash bags and wrap them into a ball. “After growing up in Bexley, I realized I lived in a bubble. My friends
who aren’t from here call Bexley ‘Pleasantville,’” Levey said. “Sometimes when I was coaching, I would have to step back and say, ‘Look at where you are. Look at the houses around you. Look at the environment you are in.’ “I was amazed by the amount of poverty over there, but because of the friendliness of the people, they didn’t seem that different from me.” Interest in the LCFL grew quickly in an area that offers little extracurricular activities for youth. However, creating fields and organizing the league took longer than Levey anticipated. “Everything in Kenya runs a lot slower than the USA. After the first week there, I realized I could only
pick one thing to do each day,” Levey said. “Something that would take 15 to 30 minutes here takes three to six hours over there for some reason. “The happiest moment (of my time in Kenya) was probably the first day the league started. I was sitting there watching the U-12 teams play. This kid scored and he was mobbed in the corner by his teammates and they were imitating the things they’ve seen from (England’s) Wayne Rooney and all the other soccer stars. It kind of brought of tears to my eyes. That made all the hard work worth it.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

SMITH 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.”

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.

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. Signin 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

ed 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 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. (In Columbus) there’s a 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
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. pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
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. Before that, after games reached the 10th inning, they were played according to international rules. That meant at the shennen@thisweeknews.com beginning of each half inning, a runner was www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Continued from page B1 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 MSLCardinal) and Bloom-Carroll is the smallest school in the MSLBuckeye,” Little said. “When you are going up against (largeenrollment) schools like Canal
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 — AmandaClearcreek, Bloom-Carroll, Canal Winchester, Circleville, Fairfield Union, Hamilton Township, Logan Elm and Teays Valley
(Winchester) and Teays Valley, especially 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 superin-
