Golf Village at Central Park opens By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A former train depot serves as the clubhouse for the Golf Village at Central Park, which opens to the public today (July 21), along with a nine-hole, par-3 golf course and driving range at 789 Science Blvd. Gahanna leaders hope it’s the engine that helps drive more economic development at the 191acre business campus in the city’s office, commerce and technology district. “This is a true public-private partnership,” said Barry Fromm, founder and CEO of Value Recovery Group Inc. (VRC), the owner of the golf village’s clubhouse. “With the Central Ohio Community Improvement Corp. (CIC)
as a partner, the community gets this beautiful property,” he said. In addition to VRC and the CIC, many other agencies were instrumental in transforming the former Bedford landfill into what’s being touted as a premier destination for golfers of all ages and abilities. The other project partners include the city of Gahanna, Franklin County, the Ohio Department of Development and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Gahanna development director Anthony Jones said the multiple governmental agencies and private-sector investors creatively collaborated to remediate the significant environmental hazard, and their shared vision has allowed Central Park to become one of central Ohio’s prime de-
velopment areas. James Schimmer, Franklin County economic development director, said the landfill has been turned into a landmark. The Golf Village itself is being managed professionally by Tartan Golf & Management. The CIC owns the 68-acre golf course that’s on the highest point in Franklin County, overlooking the Columbus skyline. Jones said the 2-acre driving range with four target greens is the largest in Franklin County. He called Fromm a true entrepreneur and one of the most creative people he knows.

Office park moves forward By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Gahanna is priming itself for new economic development. The planning commission on July 13 approved a preliminary plat and zoning for a 12-acre tract at the southwest corner of I270 and Tech Center Drive, where an office park is planned. Trivium Development LLC submitted the preliminary plat for the Buckles Office Park on Tech Center Drive, as well as rezoning from select-commercial planned district to office, commerce and technology zoning. The plan will go before city council in mid-August. Commission member David Thom called the Buckles proposal a “major event” for Gahanna. With the Tech Center bridge scheduled for completion in October, Thom said, the 12-acre rezoning and development is merely the start of bigger things to come for Gahanna.
Trivium representative Tim Spencer said ing that would create 83 new full-time jobs the rezoning is a joint effort between the in the city and generate about $900,000 ancity’s development department and his com- nually in payroll taxes. pany.

A recommendation and report are due July 25 concerning a proposed detention basin near the Woods at Shagbark, but the issue remains in the forefront among local residents. Gahanna City Council is expected to hear the recommendation and report during its July 25 committee meeting. During the July 18 council meeting, Academy Court resident Windy McKenna asked council to move forward with the proposed detention basin that has been studied for five years as a solution to help control erosion and flooding along the McKenna Creek watershed. “So many of us have lost so much of our backyards,” McKenna said. “We had to sandbag because our land was going into the creek.” She said water comes with such energy and force that much of the creek bank has disappeared. “We’ve lost bridges and everything else,” McKenna said. “We were happy (with the proposal) and felt it was the most economical to do it this way. I want to reinforce our commitment to this project.” Council president David Samuel said he agrees that the project should move forward. “A small number of people have slowed it down,” he said. George Mrus, president of the Shagbark condominium associ-
ation, told ThisWeek that shortterm and long-term solutions have been studied in partnership with the city for the past five years. Although about nine Woods at Shagbark residents oppose the basin, Mrus said, about 25 letters have been sent to council in favor of it. “The community recognizes that partnering with the city is in its best interests for both the value of the properties, short term and long term, as well as partnering with the city to keep dialogue going on this and future issues,” he said. Many of the basin’s opponents addressed council July 5, citing the loss of trees that hide them from Giant Eagle, as well as the environmental effect on the existing habitat. Opponent Keith Webster told ThisWeek the proposed basin might help stop flooding downstream, but he believes a less destructive way and a more ecologically viable way could be found. Gahanna service director Dottie Franey plans to meet with Columbus and Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) representatives to revisit options to alleviate erosion and flooding at areas north of Morse Road. She also plans to advertise the project while continuing to do research. In August 2007, Franey said, the city hired URS to study the See BASIN, page A4
Otting to leave Gahanna schools; board hires Columbus replacement By MARLA K. KUHLMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools’communication specialist is stepping down, and her replacement has been chosen. After 12 years as communication specialist, Mary Otting announced last week that’s she’s leaving, effective Aug. 12. The Gahanna-Jefferson Board of Education on July 14 approved hiring Michael Straughter under a two-year contract at an annual salary of $67,447 and benefits package of $23,476, for a total annual package of $90,923. He has been the communication specialist in the Columbus City Schools for 11 years. He will begin
working in Gahanna on Aug. 8. “It has been an honor to serve the Gahanna-Jefferson community: students, parents, teachers, administrators and G-J residents,” Otting said. “Thank you to the superintendent, board of education and the many, many people I’ve had the opportunity to work and interact with over the past decade. I will continue to be part of the Gahanna-Jefferson community as I pursue future endeavors.” Superintendent Mark White said he’s sad to see Otting leave, but he also respects her decision to pursue new challenges. “She has been a true professional the whole time she has been here, and she has been a real joy to work with,” he said. White complimented her work on various school

district publications, as well as website improvements. “Michael will bring new ideas to us, and we look forward to working with him also,” White said. Otting told ThisWeek she looks forward to new challenges ahead. During her tenure as communication specialist, she noted numerous accomplishments, including student achievement by attaining an “excellent” rating on the state report card. Also, the Gahanna-Jefferson Education Foundation was formed and has raised more than $425,000 for educational grants to enhance programs. She said several dynamic website redesigns and electronic communications have enriched the information the district provides to parents and residents.
“The breadth and depth of student and staff accomplishments with the support of our community have been vast and are certainly exemplified in examples such as the Lincoln High School veterans memorial, the superior awards and ratings received by our bands, choirs, speech and debate, athletics, DECA and Science Academy programs, to name a few,” Otting said. G-J human-resources director Matt Cygnor said Otting would be greatly missed and that the district wishes her the best in future endeavors. Cygnor said the district had about 50 applications for the position, but few candidates had school communications experience. See OTTING, page A2

GOLF Continued from page A1 Prospect and transformed it into the village’s clubhouse. He also purchased a working railroadcrossing lamp from a collector in Carroll. It sits near the clubhouse. A three-dimensional mural, showing a father and son holding golf clubs and looking into the future, is being painted on the side of 791 Science Blvd., overlooking the course. It also will feature a black steam locomotive, as well as those from the 1930s and 1950s, with the golf course amid them, depicting change over time. Fromm said the architecture of the depot has been preserved, although a new roof has been added. “The building character of the inside will be the way it was,” he said. Visitors will find a retail shop inside the lobby of the former depot and a dining area on the freight side. About 300 train and golf antiques also decorate the depot that was expanded to accommodate
a Callaway Fitting System studio, a commercial kitchen and restrooms. Although golf courses have been struggling, Fromm said, the niche of the Golf Village is the nine-hole course, designed to play in 75 minutes, as well as the low cost: $15 for nine holes. The mission statement of the Golf Village is to revitalize the game of golf by making it more enjoyable and less time-consuming. Furthermore, the mission is to “create an atmosphere with knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and thankful employees offering above-and-beyond customer service (and) a golf facility, that offers something for every member of the family.” Fromm said the village also has a driving range and putting greens available for rent by the hour. “People can come here and get a great sandwich and beverage,” he said. “We have a lot of things to make people happy: food, drinks, golf and lessons.” An additional nine-hole short course, ranging in length from 30 to 60 yards, is scheduled to
open in the fall. Steven Renaker, president of TGM, said golf has struggled over the years because people don’t have the time to commit to it. “We’ve created something that addresses that issue,” he said. “You don’t have to spend five or six hours. And you can involve the whole family. We see it as appealing to everyone.” About 20 people are expected to be employed at the Golf Village at Central Park, Renaker said. The scheduled opening of the Tech Center Drive extension and bridge in October will provide direct access to the Golf Village and Central Park, which, Jones said, is ripe for development. Fully developed, Central Park could accommodate a host of technology-oriented office complexes, which would be adjacent to the Golf Village, along walking trails connecting to nearby city parks, a 25-acre nature preserve and additional amenities planned along the newly constructed Tech Center Drive. For more information about the Golf Village, go to www.centralparkgolf.com.
Continued from page A1 Board member Windy McKenna told Straughter he has big shoes to fill in replacing Otting. “She has been through the ropes, difficult and happy times,” McKenna said. Board president Charley Wise thanked Otting for her years in the district. Prior to joining the Gahanna schools, Otting was the specialevents/marketing manager at Quest International in Newark. She also has held positions with Master of Ceremonies in Louisville, Ky.; WTGI-TV in Philadelphia; and KWWL-TV in Waterloo, Iowa. Straughter told ThisWeek he’s looking forward to working for the Gahanna schools. He grew up in Mifflin Township, and he lives near Whitehall. In addition to working with the Columbus schools, Straughter also worked as a contributing writer for the Columbus Call & Post. Prior to working with the Columbus schools, he worked for three years as training and outreach coordinator for Community 21.

THIS BUG KILLS! Protect Your Ash Trees Call Mike Donley Today for a FREE Ash Tree Assessment The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic boring insect believed to have come from China. This bug was first discovered in 2002 in Southeast Michigan. With no natural enemies to contain its population, it spreads rapidly, attacks and kills ALL ash trees regardless of size or condition; 100% mortality rate! This bug only attacks ash trees. The EAB infestation of ash trees became apparent last year in Central Ohio. Extensive wood pecker damage, dead limbs in upper canopies and a flush of green sprouts in the lower canopies are the most obvious signs of likely EAB infestation. Generally speaking, from the first signs of infestation, trees die within 2-3 years if untreated. Should you decide to preserve your ash trees, field trials from Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue Universities have shown annually applied insecticides will protect ash trees effectively from the emerald ash borer. There are two primary recommendations to get most effective insecticide protection - Treating trees in the spring time (April-May) and treatments prior to infestation.

City council approves funds for street tree removal By MARLA K. KUHLMAN
A closer look
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Gahanna City Council approved legislation July 18 to begin helping residents remove street trees that have been plagued by the emerald ash borer. The 6-1 vote was for a supplemental appropriation of $18,000 from the unencumbered balance of the general fund to Parks Contract Services to initiate the process of removing the most hazardous street trees that have been identified thus far. Council members David Samuel, Beryl Anderson, Shane Ewald, John McAlister, Nancy McGregor and Tim Pack voted for the measure. Brian Larick dissented. He said he would rather the city provide funds for residents to replace trees than remove them. “For me, this is a safety issue of trees falling on people or property,” Ewald said. Given the city-mandated legislation that residents install street trees, he said, the city should share the responsibility of removing hazardous trees. Pack said ash trees erode from the inside out so he supports the legislation, from a safety standpoint. “A tree can look healthy but be unsecure,” he said. McAlister said it’s sad the city is losing trees, and he referenced the blight of the chestnut tree in the 1900s. “We can have empathy for what

Troy Euton, parks and recreation deputy director, told council that his department is receiving two to three calls daily from residents concerned about blighted street trees.
those people went through in the 1900s,” he said. Troy Euton, parks and recreation deputy director, told council July 11 that his department is receiving two to three calls daily from residents concerned about blighted street trees. “As we compared ourselves to other communities, it is a big problem,” he said. “Other communities were doing something as a city to help residents.” Gahanna’s arbor crew has been managing publicly owned trees, according to Tony Collins, parks and recreation director. Last year, he said, Gahanna removed almost 100 trees that were deemed hazardous because of damage from the borer. Of the city’s estimated 12,000 to 14,000 street trees, about 1,660 are ash, excluding any trees on city property, Collins said. He recommended the city commit to removing hazardous trees and stumps, leaving it up to the resident to replace a tree, if desired. Collins said the city could work with residents on a possible bulk rate to purchase any new trees.
“Look at it as a pilot program, and we’ll see how it goes,” Mayor Becky Stinchcomb said. “Many sister communities pay for the removal and replanting of trees.” Euton said the parks department has estimates ranging from $75 to $150 to remove a tree. “Our concept is to negotiate with a landscape or arbor company to do the best we can,” he said. “We have the recommendation to help folks. You have a lot of people looking to us for help. Eighteen thousand dollars is a start. It’s something we wanted to have as an avenue for streets that are blighted with these.” In October 1992, Gahanna identified street trees as a priority in developing the city and adopted code requiring developers to install street trees and maintain them for one year. Street trees are the responsibility and liability of the homeowner, according to Ohio Revise Code, Collins said. Gahanna, however, requires a tree to be there, he said, so he believes responsibility should be shared.

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen COLLEGE STUDENT TEST SCORES It seems that a significant number of college students are paying a price for pumping up the volume of their MP3 players, according to a small sampling of college students with an average age of 21. One interesting aspect of the study was that all of the students were asked to assess their own hearing before undergoing the hearing test. One quarter of the students who professed to have normal hearing did not. This finding shows that a self-assessment is not a reliable indicator of actual hearing loss. Furthermore, while the degree of hearing loss among most of the students was generally not enough to warrant the use of a hearing instrument, it seems only a matter of time. Regularly listening to personal music players at high-volume setting. when young often has no immediate effect on hearing but is likely to result in hearing loss later in life.

Community news Big Walnut Trail ceremony planned The Gahanna Parks & Recreation Department is planning a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Section 7 of the Big Walnut Trail. The ceremony will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday, July 22. Gahanna is expanding bike and pedestrian connectivity by spanning the Big Walnut Creek with a 1,500-foot multipurpose-trail bridge and connector path. A presentation to include state and local officials and community leaders will be held, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open the east-west trail connector immediately following the presentation. Section 7 includes at 140-by12-foot prefabricated foot bridge, with multipurpose trails connecting to the Big Walnut Creek trail to the west and Cliffview Drive to the east of the creek. The project puts Gahanna one step closer to completion of the entire Big Walnut Trail project, featuring a 5-mile trail from Morse Road in the north to Pizzurro Park in southern Gahanna. The Big Walnut Trail concept plan was adopted in 2008 and is online at www.gahanna.gov. The trail is part of the Gahanna bikeway master plan, which was updated and adopted in 2010.
Grosko to become ‘reporter of decisions’ For the first time in the history of the Supreme Court of Ohio, a woman will fill the position of reporter of decisions, the Supreme Court announced last week. Gahanna resident Sandra Huth Grosko, case-management counsel in the Office of the Clerk, will replace Ralph Preston, who will retire at the end of the month. Grosko will lead the office that is responsible for reporting and publishing the court’s opinions, rulings on motions, miscellaneous
orders and rule amendments. The Reporter’s Office also posts to the Supreme Court’s website opinions Sandra Huth from the Grosko Supreme Court, the courts of appeals, the court of claims and selected trial courts. In addition, the reporter manages the process of reporting the justices’votes on individual cases. Grosko, who has been employed at the Supreme Court for more than 16 years, said she’s excited to work with the justices and the staff in the Reporter’s Office. “I am honored to be chosen to serve the Supreme Court of Ohio as the next reporter of decisions,” she said. “I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues in the office to uphold the high standard of work that has always been exhibited by the Reporter’s Office.” Prior to serving as case-management counsel, Grosko served as a law clerk for then-Justice Deborah Cook, as a judicial attorney for Summit County Common Pleas Judge Patricia Cosgrove, as a law clerk for then-9th District Court of Appeals Judge Cook and as a law clerk for the Toledo Edison Co. and Marathon Oil Co. Grosko received her law degree cum laude from the University of Toledo College of Law and her bachelor’s degree from Ohio University.
Robotics team places 12th at contest The Gahanna underwater-robotics team finished another successful year with a 12th-place finish in the MATE International Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Competition in Houston last month.
Adviser Fred Donelson said he was pleased with the team’s overall performance. “When you start out with 450 teams from all over the world and you end up being 12th, you can be pretty proud of your accomplishment,” he said. “This team had to overcome a lot of adversity in the last couple of days, and I am very proud of them.” The team’s ROV suffered some serious damage on the trip to Texas via plane, and the team spent about three hours repairing the damage. During their practice time, other electrical problems occurred, and they were able to practice for about two minutes. After having few problems all year, Donelson said, the Great Lakes Regional Champions were a bit nervous going into the actual competition. This year’s tasks replicated the solution to the deep-horizon oil spill last year. The team’s ROV had to attach a rope to a riser pipe, cut and remove it, turn off a valve to stop the flow of water from the well and then cap it. Points also were awarded for finding the exact depth of some simulated algae and then collecting the algae and bringing it to the surface. All of those tasks had to be accomplished in 15 minutes. The team had an average first run, Donelson said, but its second run started out great. “They were on a record-setting time five minutes into the mission, and I actually began to think we might actually win when one of our tool packages broke,” he said. “The team was still able to improve on their previous score but weren’t able to finish because of the broken tool. But that happens in real life. It took more than one try for the deep horizon, and our run demonstrated just how difficult a job the real folks with BP had last summer.” — Marla K. Kuhlman
BASIN Continued from page A1 watershed and identify potential projects that could improve the erosion and flooding issues. The results of the URS study included many possible projects, such as the following: • A basin/dam at Wynne Ridge Court, with costs exceeding $1 million because of construction and property acquisition. This option also would have flooded several acres of wooded areas. • Basin at OSU property, with a cost of more than $3.5 million, including the property Gahanna would have to purchase from OSU. • Reducing flows north of Morse Road that aren’t in Gahanna’s jurisdiction. • Widening McKenna Creek through numerous subdivisions, with construction costing about $200,000. Gahanna would have been required
to purchase easements on nearly 25 homes, and the modification would provide no benefit to the targeted area. • Market at Hamilton basin expansion. A number of different scenarios were studied. Using the existing channel between Morse Road and Shagbark was unacceptable to the ODNR, Franey said. Expanding the existing Market-Hamilton basin would require acquisition of property and require work in the area of the currently proposed project. Franey said it had been determined the proposed $400,000 detention basin would be the most time-efficient and cost-effective solution on city-owned property. If it proceeds, the project would be funded via the city’s stormwater utility fund. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

OFFICE PARK Continued from page A1 announcing the medical company that is poised to consolidate various locations across central Ohio in Gahanna. “We’re excited about the whole south side of Tech Center,” he said. Commission member David Andrews said it’s exciting to see this new development, considering the struggling economy. “I think it will be a great development,” he said. “We have a great user who wants to be in Gahanna,” Spencer said. “They’re excited about being a pioneer.” The rezoning and preliminary plat for 12 acres are part of a bigger, 78-acre piece of property known as the Buckles tract, owned by Andre Buckles. Development director Anthony Jones identified the land as one of the city’s priority areas for economic growth. He said the April 1 start of construction for the Tech Center Drive extension and bridge led to the development proposal of the eastern 12-acre site south of Tech Center. City engineer Karl Wetherholt said the Tech Center Drive extension would connect the Hamilton Road and I-270 interchange with Gahanna’s industrial and commerce area. In addition to providing better and faster access to the commerce area from I-270 and the airport, Wetherholt said, the project also will provide access to prime locations for commercial and office
development. Those areas include 120 acres in Central Park of Gahanna and 78 acres of vacant land within the I-270 loop that’s known as the Buckles tract. The 12-acre project is considered Phase 1 of the entire Buckles-tract development. In conjunction with the zoning and preliminary plat application, the development department is working to establish a tax-increment-financing district to fund public infrastructure necessary to support development at the project site. According to Gahanna zoning administrator Bonnie Gard, the completion of the Tech Center Drive bridge and extension will open up the entire area for development.
“Kudos to the engineering department,” Gard said. “Tech Center Drive has been 10 years in the making.” In other commission action, a home-occupation permit was approved for Robert Maroldy to operate a gunsmith business at 470 Clark State Road, with a stipulation that he file a copy of his federal permit with the city. Maroldy said he would repair, modify, restore and build firearms that would be exchanged through UPS and FedEx delivery service, providing minimal or no change to traffic, in accordance with federal laws. No ammunition will be stored at the residence, he said. mkuhlman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio
FAB 5 By Jim Fischer
jfischer@thisweeknews.com
This edition of the Fab Five starts with four pairs of shows, leading up to our interview with Dave Koz, who plays the Jazz & Rib Fest — itself a perfect pair if ever there was one. Summer season for resi-
1 dent arts groups:
A better show theme moniker might not exist than “Rhapsody in Zoo: A Gershwin Celebration,” which is on tap Friday, July 22, at JazZoo, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra’s summer concert series at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. The Gershwin tribute features Bobby Floyd’s take on Rhapsody in Blue as well as timeless classics like Someone to Watch Over Me and Embraceable You. Tickets are $27-$15, and include zoo admission. Call (614) 724-3485 or call the Jazz Arts Group about table reservations at (614) 2945200. We can still picture the red and black Atlantic Records logo on our 45 RPM of The Spinners’Rubberband Man. Other hits, like Working My Way Back to You and Then Came You found The Spinners deftly melding soul, disco and the Motown vocalgroup vibes. The group joins the Columbus Symphony Orchestra for its Picnic with the Pops concert Saturday, July
Gardening: Checking out the bio and MO of California rock-reggae quintet Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds, we were disinclined to buy in. But appealing melodies, adept singing and crisp, nifty playing quickly changed our tune. Check ’em out for yourself Friday, July 22, at The Basement — great stuff for a summer Friday night. Tickets are $10/$12. Call 1-800-745-3000. The Black Lillies are a new “old” country band, but not in the straight-up honky-tonk sense. The Black Lillies inspire and aspire, while embracing other Americana influences like folk and the blues. Led by singer Cruz Contreras, The Black Lillies will play Woodlands Tavern Thursday, July 28. Tickets are $10. Call (614) 299-4987.
3
The Spinners
23, on the lawn at Chemical Abstracts Service. Tickets are $20 for adults and $8 for children age 3-14. For tickets or other information, call (614) 228-8600. Guitar (demi-)gods: Ahh, the Nuge. It’s easy to forget any more that Ted Nugent is a guitar slinger par excellence. He knows from rock n’ roll riffing and maintains a stage presence as crazy as ever. He hits the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion stage Friday, July 22. Tickets are $25. Call 1-800-745-3000. Nugent contemporary Johnny Winter is as revered as the aforementioned Nuge — Winter for his blues guitar brilliance. Snappy licks, punchy progressions and a ferocious abandon make Winter the total package. He plays the Newport Music Hall, with local blues rockers the Frank Harrison Group, Thursday, July 28. Tickets are $20/$22. Call 1800-745-3000.
2
Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds
Oh boys: This last pair is a two-in-one, as the Schottenstein Center hosts New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys Sunday, July 24. For women who were in their teens/’tweens in the 1990s, give or take, NKOTB ruled the early part of the decade, while BSB assumed the boy-band mantle later. The Beat gets the appeal, especially if you turn the evening into a “relive the moment” party. Knock yourselves out, ladies. Did we mention the Glee’s Matthew Morrison is a special guest?

Dave Koz is a busy man. He’s touring this summer supporting a new hit CD, Hello Tomorrow. He hosts two national radio shows. He does an annual Dave Koz & Friends holiday tour and also a Friends cruise. He’s a Global Ambassador for the Starlight Children’s Foundation, recently partnering with a Napa Valley winery on his own line of wines, the sale of which benefits the foundation. And he recently shot a video for his tune, This Guy’s in Love with You, in support of marriage equality. Somehow he managed to find time to visit with The Beat, and treated us like an old friend besides, also speaking — unsolicited — fondly of Columbus and his past warm receptions on stage here. “I love doing our Christmas show at the Palace,” he offered, adding, “I’m excited to be out on this tour with my band. It’s something we don’t do as often as maybe I’d like. “The Christmas show is more elegant,” Koz said. “Summertime and outdoor shows are about cutting loose and having fun.” Of the many irons he maintains in the fire, Koz said, none of it would be possible without the music. “It’s the thread that holds it all together,” he said. And while his greatest love is playing live, Koz told The Beat that making records is an important part of his creative process. Hello Tomorrow is Koz’s 12th studio recording, and captures his sense that the personal and global upheaval that the world is currently experiencing is the cusp of a significant shift moving forward. “The world has a lot of my music, which is a blessing,” Koz told The Beat, “so I feel like to make a record, I really need to have something to say. What’s going to be the impetus?” In this case, it was a song by his friend, singer-songwriter Dana Glover, which became the album’s title track. “It was like boom, there’s the concept,” he said. “Change is inevitable but there’s an unprecedented amount of it in everybody’s lives. People are disoriented and we can fight it or embrace it. That’s what this album was for me, to come out on the other side more comfortable with discomfort.”

The 32nd annual Jazz & Rib Fest hits the Arena District riverfront July 22-24. In addition to sax-man Dave Koz, headliners include Christian McBride and the Inside, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Bobby Sanabria, Christian Scott Quintet and Carmen Lundy Quintet. A host of local and regional acts will also perform. Admission to the festival is free. Visit www.hotribscooljazz.org.
If music is the thread that connects Koz’s disparate interests and activities, the saxophone is the needle. An “awkward kid,” Koz had tried a few instruments before he discovered the sax in seventh grade. “It immediately became my best friend, a vehicle to express things I didn’t have words for,” he recalled. “It’s been the primary relationship in my life.” After graduating from UCLA with a degree in mass media, he told his parents he was going to give music six months to see what could happen and then he’d find a real job. In that time, he scored gigs with Bobby Caldwell and Jeff Lorber, who championed a record deal for the young sax-man. “You always have goals and you try to imagine where you could go,” Koz told The Beat. “But life has a way of unfolding the way it wants. It’s mostly just about being in that flow.” For more from The Beat’s interview with Dave Koz, read the BeatBlog at www. ThisWeekNews.com/blogs.

Comfort food, dramatic patio make Flatiron a destination I hereby decree Columbus to be New Patiotown. This is because not long ago, prime al fresco settings were a semi-rare commodity around our parts; these days, they’re as prevalent as backyard barbecues in July. Speaking of cooking out, you can add the Flatiron to the burgeoning list of pretty and cushy Columbus patios. Just a few weeks ago, this ’cue-happy and Big-Easyfluent Arena District staple unveiled a dramatic outdoor makeover that provides you with yet another reason to eat at this breezy, sophisticated and jazzy place. The first thing you’ll notice is the alluring aroma of meat sizzling over charred hardwood emanating from a nearby smoker. Then you’ll see the flowers, greenery and handsome urban-parklike scenery that distinguish Flatiron’s patio. Specifically, multiple planters rim its perimeter, flashing with electric purple and pink petunias. Just behind these are lush shrubs and shade trees. Also standing out — once you’re seated — is a neat
MENU by G. A. BENTON close-up view of the eccentric Flatiron building, an unusual thin brick wedge built in 1914. Flatiron’s Southern-style comfort food frequently announces itself in crackly fried cornmeal. This is the case with calamari ($9), an appetizer item overplayed in the entire nation but still worth ordering here. Flatiron’s were crispy, tender, not too greasy, awakened by chili flakes and scallion bits and served with a tangy remoulade. Mondays are Red Beans and Rice nights in New Orleans, and you’re likely to find that special here at the beginning of the week, too — but Flatiron’s ($11) actually outshine many Crescent City versions. It stars a seriously spicy, crisply seared, XXL-sized housemade
vorful soupy beans fragrant with green peppers and onions and ladled near very nice rice that retains a chicken stock flavor. If you don’t know about the incomparable Oyster Po’Boy here ($11), you should enrich your knowledge and life by ordering one. That beauty of a messy sandwich starts with a crisp, chewy and first-rate Eleni-Christina sourdough baguette. This gets packed with expertly flash-fried cornmeal-battered mollusks with lots of lovely oyster liquor still intact. The delicious ensemble gets dressed with a healthy smear of Flatiron’s remoulade sauce, plus all the expected fixins. Awesome. If meat more suits your mood, try the terrific Pulled Pork Sandwich ($9). Its By Jodi Miller/ThisWeek layers of big, bold flavors — from wood smoke and tender pig meat, from assertive Oyster Po Boy at Flatiron vinegar-and-mustard barbecue sauce and smoky andouille sausage that recalls a a rich slaw — will have you squealing huge link of devil-red Mexican chorizo, like a happy hog. minus the grease.

Half Slab of St. Louis Cut Pork Ribs ($15). Mine were a Flintstones-big serving of juicy (if not super tender) meat slathered in a deep, dark and complex sauce — a thick and spicy glaze made with cooked-down cola, jalapenos and bourbon. The massive slab platter was further filled out by the finely chopped house slaw plus homemade fries. Flatiron regulars know to upgrade those potatoes to the Sweet & Hot fries. Other insider tips: The green beans are fantastic, as are many of Flatiron’s recurring daily specials — like a lusty Catfish with Tabasco Cream Sauce. For dessert, the enormous Custard Bread pudding ($5) has a lot of warm and gooey love to offer — and can easily feed three ever-more-happy people.
Tyler fires up wood-burning oven for new pizza offering Bryan Tyler wasn’t sure what to think of his pizzas, so he let the public decide. He put up a sandwich board outside of his Bread Basket shop in Reynoldsburg, announcing that free samples were available. “That brings them right in,” he said. The verdict: The recently introduced Naples-style pies are a winner. He praises his wood-burning oven, in part. He
and a friend installed the Forno Bravo brick oven themselves. Plus, they encased it in a stucco outer shell shielding layers of mortar, fiberglass insulation and insulated concrete. Using oak and ash woods, the oven burns at 700 to 800 degrees, cooking the pies in three to four minutes. The same fresh-tossed dough is used in the pepperoni and vegetable rolls, two of the more popular items in the store, 7516 E. Main St. There is no seating inside the bakery. The menu simple, offering four types of pizzas — classic Margherita, pepperoni, cheese and vegetable — that come in two sizes: the small, using 8 ounces of dough for a roughly 12-inch pizza, or the large, 16 ounces of dough producing a 16-inch pie, give or take. His simple, all-purpose sauce uses fresh tomatoes (while in season), garlic, sweet basil, kosher salt and pepper, cooked in the oven before being thinly spread across the dough. The toppings also are judiciously applied. “We’re trying to keep it simple,” he said. The finished product features a pie with a semi-thick, chewy crust, with the edges blistered by the heat. He said those who prefer thinner, crispier crusts can ask for them. Whole pizzas range in price from $5.50 to $7 for a small and $9.25 to $11 for large. They’re also sold by the By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek slice, $1.50 each. He experimented with different Bryan Tyler, owner of the Bread Basket, tosses pizza dough doughs in the beginning, making pizinto the air as he prepares one of his new pizzas on July 13. zas out of Italian and sourdough loaves The Bread Basket just added pizzas to the menu and uses a — the one he preferred — but cuswood-fired oven to bake them. To see a video, please visit tomers prefer the traditional crust. www.ThisWeekNews.com.
(Tyler said he might offer the sourdough option in the future.) It’s a major programming change for the Bread Basket, known for artisan breads, cookies and assorted baked goods. The place got its start in Gahanna six and a half years ago and later relocated to the Creekside development. Tyler opened the Reynoldsburg store in March 2010. He said he’s always had a desire to cook all of his breads in a wood-fired oven, so serving pizza was a natural progression. He’s also started cooking some of the breads in the oven, which leaves the loaves with a cracklier exterior. Yes, the process involves more time, because the bread has to be rotated, which is not an issue with a traditional oven. And then there’s the capacity issue, because the wood-burning oven is only 4 feet in diameter. “It’s definitely a labor of love,” he said. Tyler said he wants to begin offering pizzas at the Gahanna store, but those plans are on hold because of the financially troubled Creekside development, where Bread Basket is located. So he will wait to install new kitchen equipment until those issues are settled. The Bread Basket is open for lunch and dinner hours Tuesday through Saturday.

The restaurant, 9993 Sawmill Parkway in Powell, serves National Hebrew 100-percent beef dogs, boiled and grilled, and served with a choice of 12 toppings.

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 devel-
DESALEGN YACOB
opment 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 primary physician with con-
cerns. 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. Dr. Desalegn Yacob is an attending physician in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

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 C2

Rockets again chase OICBL title By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
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 (57), Zanesville (4-8-1), 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 We-
ston 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 See ROCKETS, page C2

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 have been de- LARRY feats and dis- LARSON 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.

ROCKETS 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.”

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
Wildcats’ Smith shined in 22-inning marathon 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 head-to-head with Sarah Phillips of Olentangy Liberty for 22 innings in a Division I district final at Pickerington Central. The three-day marathon wasn’t decided until Smith hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd for a 4-1 victory. Smith also had 29 strikeouts, the 11th highest total in state history for an extra-inning game, according to the Ohio High School Athletic Association. In 2010, Hayley Flynn of Duncan Falls Philo set the state record with 55 strikeouts in 24 innings against Thornville Sheridan. “The biggest thing I remember is this wave of emotion,” Smith said. “I was exhausted 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 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
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
ready to finish it.” Erin Roberts led off the bottom of the 22nd with a single before Lauren Espe and Meredith Parish followed with bunt singles to load the bases. Smith didn’t waste time, sending the first offering from Phillips over the left-field fence. “(Phillips) had retired like 13 or 14 in a row before we came up in the 22nd, so having our No. 9 batter, Erin Roberts, come up and get a hit was big,” Davidson coach Angelo Forte said. “Then Lauren Espe and Meredith Parish followed with bunts to load the bases and then (Liberty) shaded Courtney to right field. She had only hit one ball in her life to right field, so I was hoping she could get the ball to fall in left field so we could win it. (The grand slam) was something I never saw coming.” The Wildcats advanced to a regional semifinal at Ohio State, where they lost to Marysville 12-1 to finish the season 23-7. Davidson catcher Kaylyn Heading said the district final was the kind of game that a player never forgets. “It was 22 innings and those type of games just don’t come around often,” said Heading, who played four seasons at Rio Grande and graduated in 2010 with a degree in professional and business communication. “Courtney pitched great and then came up and got the big hit like she had throughout the season. It was a pretty magical ending. It’s still pretty cool, even today.” Forte said the game might never have reached the 22nd inning had a rule change not been made before the 2006 season. Before that, after games reached the 10th inning, they were played according to international rules. That meant at the beginning of each half inning, a runner was placed at second base with no outs. “We lost a district final that way to Mount Vernon (3-1 in 10 innings in 2002) and I had been pushing to get the rule changed for years,” Forte said. “I had been on both sides of the inter-
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.
national tiebreaker, but I think the game is much-improved without it.” Before Smith’s grand slam, it was her right fielder and catcher who combined to make the game’s biggest play 11 innings earlier. Phillips was at second base with two outs in the top of the 11th when Kellie Schultz singled to right field. Phillips hesitated as she rounded third as right fielder Abbey Parsley threw to Heading. There was a collision at the plate, but Heading held on to the ball to end the scoring threat. “Courtney had a great individual performance, but we made some great defensive plays across the board and that (play at the plate) was definitely one of those,” Forte said. “I was talking to Abbey last week and she said that it was one of the most memorable plays she had as a softball player.” Along with her 29 strikeouts, Smith surrendered 14 hits and issued two walks, one in the sixth and one in the 11th. The Wildcats had 16 hits against Phillips. “That game was a duel between Courtney and Sarah Phillips,” Heading said. “Courtney was always one to find ways to get people out. I remember her riseball, screwball and changeup were working. She just found ways to, not necessarily strike them out, but to get people out.” Smith graduated from the University of Indianapolis in 2010 with a marketing degree. She stayed in Indianapolis and works in communications for an economic development firm called Develop Indy. “I was talking to a guy from work last week who was a swimmer in high school,” Smith said. “I told him about it and he thought it was great and really had an appreciation that I had played in a game like that. It definitely was a game that I’ll never forget.” shennen@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
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 fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com State Community College).
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 — AmandaClearcreek, Bloom-Carroll, Canal Winchester, Circleville, Fairfield Union, Hamilton Township, Logan Elm and Teays Valley
Continued from page C1 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
•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
(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-
tendents, 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

Why does my jaw hurt? My jaw hurts when I wake up each morning. I have heard of something called TMJ, but don’t know much about it. What should I do?
Jeffrey L. Angart, D.D.S., created a distinct, stateof-the-art practice in New Albany where patients take an active role in their care.
Understanding and Easing the Pain TMDs, or temporomandibular disorders, can cause a number of symptoms that can mimic other illnesses. You may have a TMD, any one of a number of problems involving the chewing muscles, the jaw joint (the temporomandibular joint or TMJ), or both. Symptoms can include the following: • Unusual sounds (clicking, grinding or popping) that may or may not be accompanied by increased pain. • Locking or intermittent movement: The jaw joint, a ball-and-socket joint, may sometimes lock in an open position. Or if may be difficult to open your mouth because it feels locked or painful. • Ear pain: TMD may at first appear to be an ear infection, since TMD pain is usually felt in front of or below the ear. Be sure to talk with your dentist about these symptoms. There are a number of options to help reduce the pain. Splints, a common treatment, can worn at night to help allieviate clenching or grinding.

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.
SIDS Fundraiser
Family is committed to making difference 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 or know someone who has been affected by SIDS.” He said the event attracted several families who brought with them people to represent children who had died from SIDS. “There were more people there that we didn’t know than ones that we did,” he said. “It was very moving to see people show support for such a great cause. But on the other hand, it reminds you how serious the cause is because we have a personal connection to it.” Michelle Hurd said it was emotional watching more than 400 runners and walkers at the start of last year’s event. “There was a sea of emotions going on,” she said. “It was the first anniversary of Will’s death and I was due to have a (Caesarean) section two days later. It was hard remembering what had happened a year ago and here I was getting ready to have our fourth child.” The registration fee is $30 for adults and $20 for children 12 to 18 who sign up before Friday, July 15. It is $35 and $25 for those who sign up after July 15. Visit BabyWill.Org for information.

At the end of his eulogy for his 2-month-old son, Will, on Aug. 7, 2009, Nathan Hurd urged mourners to take action. “I told people, ‘When you think of our family, don’t think about how sad it is that we lost a child, embrace the commitment to make a difference and do something positive,’” said Hurd, a Grove City resident whose son died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). His words struck a chord with family and friends, who approached Hurd’s father-in-law, Bill Brestle, about organizing what became the BabyWill.Org/SIDS Awareness 5-kilometer run. The second annual event will be held July 30 at downtown Columbus’ Genoa Park on the riverfront side of the Center of Science and Industry (COSI), 333 W. Broad St. Sign-in for the event is at 7:30 a.m. and the race begins at 8 a.m. After family and friends organized the inaugural event, Nathan and Michelle Hurd and their children — Sam (6), Nate (4) and Jack (11 months) — are more involved this year. The event will take place nearly two years to the day that Will died of SIDS. “Originally that date wasn’t our choice,” Nathan Hurd said. “Our friends and family decided 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 pbatterson@thisweeknews.com 1 year, is responsible for about 50 deaths per www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

LEGION Continued from page C1 the momentum back for our guys, and we ended up doing really well the rest of the game.” Eurich also had a double in the sixth and an RBI single in a four-run first. A 2011 Worthington Kilbourne graduate, he is hoping to play at Ohio State as a walk-on. Third baseman Will Meador tripled, doubled, singled and had three RBI for Post 239, while designated hitter Sam Adams doubled and singled. “We got off to a little bit of a sluggish start,” Townsend said. “Danny’s home run was a big lift for us. I thought we were a little bit flat, but that hit sparked us a little bit and (Post 797G) just ran out of pitching. I thought that might be the case.” David Lykens pitched the first three-plus innings for Post 239, allowing four runs on seven hits. He struck out two and walked one. After allowing four hits to begin the fourth, Lykens was relieved by Alio Gasbarro, who pitched four shutout innings.
Gasbarro allowed two hits, struck out three and walked one. Post 797G took its lone lead in the first inning on Peyton Ross’ RBI double, which scored Alec Tuohy to make it 1-0. Eurich, Collin Finn and Cody Strayer had RBI singles in the bottom of the inning and Finn added another RBI single in the third for a 5-1 lead. Ross led off the fourth with a home run to left, Christian Chiero had an RBI single and Alex Tanchevski added an RBI double to close Post 797G to within 5-4. Post 239, however, reclaimed control in the bottom of the inning. “I felt the momentum turn a little bit at that point,” Ross said. “I felt good after that. We scored more runs that inning and made it a closer game. We did well this season. There were some little things that we could have perfected, but overall we did well as a team.” Against Post 430, Post 797G scored five runs in the third to open a 7-0 lead. Collin Price and Austin Dubois had RBI
singles. “I’m happy with the season,” said Post 797G coach Mark Cararo, whose team finished 20-11. “There were some games that we gave away, but overall I’m very happy with it.” Post 430, which finished 3-15, defeated Westerville Post 171C (Central) 3-2 on July 15 to remain alive in the tournament. Alex Heinmiller threw 140 pitches to get win. He allowed seven hits, struck out three and walked seven. “I’m not happy with the record, but one thing I’m happy about is we sent two teams out of the tournament,” said coach Mark Heinmiller, Alex’s father, whose team also eliminated Post 532W 8-5 on July 14. “We didn’t quit. We could have thrown in the towel real easily. I’m proud of the character of my boys. We’re young and we struggled throughout the season, but they didn’t throw in the towel, so that is what I was looking for.”

Class on retail design being offered again Tim Lai and Eliza Ho, principals of Tim Lai Architect, will again be partnering with the Economic and Community Development Institute to provide information on opening new stores or revamping existing retail spaces. “Newcomers and experienced retailers are welcome, and our goal is to walk through the store design and build-out processes and highlight the issues our retailers need to pay special attention to,” Ho said in announcing the class on Thursday, July 28. The class will run from 1 to 3 p.m. and it will be held at the ECDI, 1655 Old Leonard Ave. The cost is $35. “There is a lot of interest in this area and it is what ECDI wants to get more involved with,” Bob Leighty, training coordinator at ECDI, said in a press release.
