Etna eyes levy to pay for deputy patrol By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Etna Township trustees met July 16 to consider proposing a dedicated property-tax levy to pay for a sheriff’s deputy to patrol solely within the township boundaries. Licking County Sheriff Randy Thorp said that no one in the county is currently paying for dedicated patrols, but he does have occasional inquiries.
Trustee John Carlisle estimated the cost at $80,000 to $90,000 annually. “What you get when you contract with the sheriff’s office is service over and above what you get now,” Thorp said. “Obviously we provide law enforcement services for Etna Township, deputies on patrol, the services of our detective bureau, the services of our SWAT team if you should need that, all those things that come with a full service sheriff’s office, you are currently getting.

Council awaits residents’ city pool proposal
“You may ask, ‘why should I contract if I’m already getting all those services?’ What you get above that is a dedicated deputy or deputies, depending on the amount you want to contract for, specifically assigned to Etna Township, providing full-time law-enforcement services.” Thorp said sheriff’s departments have seen the same budget cuts as other political subdivisions. “Budgets are tight,” Thorp said. “We
do not have the number of deputies on patrol we had three, four, five years ago. We’re working on ways to make that happen, but quite frankly, that’s just the reality. I don’t think our levels are unsafe, but they are not as high as I would like to see them.” Thorp said such special contracts are common throughout the state, though his office has not yet used them. “It’s done all around the state,” Thorp said. “As far as I know, it’s never been
DON’T FORGET THE BELT
By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Pataskala City Council heard a report July 18 that residents of the city expect to come before council in the next month with a plan to open the city pool, which has been closed for the past two years because no organization has been willing to operate it. Jeni Ashbrook, parks and recreation advisory board chair, said volunteers hoped to raise money during the city street fair in August. “We have some really positive dialogue to open the pool in 2012,” Ashbrook said. Any proposal would address the responsibility for operating and capital expenses, Ashbrook said. “We have issues such as the pump not having been run,” Ashbrook said. “Every pool person we’ve had come out has said it is in good shape and should be fine, but it’s a ‘what if.’What if they raise all this money and then later they open up and two weeks in, the pump blows up?” Other decisions about the pool include the possibility of having to spend $8,000 to purchase a permanent cover and winterizing and cleaning up the pool. “It’s like a trampoline,” Ashbrook said of the pool cover. “It would be very secure. No one could get in underneath it.” However, if an organization is going to open the pool, such a cover may not be necessary. “Eight thousand dollars is a lot of money,” Ashbrook said. She also reported that some residents were complaining about large dogs running loose in Foundation Park. “It’s a little scary,” Ashbrook said. Council member Bernie Brush said the city has an existing ordinance and violations of that ordinance should be established before any changes are made.
done in Licking County. It’s a proposition our office would welcome.” One advantage of using the sheriff’s department instead of establishing an independent force is that overhead cost is lower, Thorp said. The township could also choose whether to establish 24-hour service or to focus on a particular shift. “The only difference is, do you want See ETNA, page A4
Licking Heights
Resident challenges board on ‘retire, rehire’ contracts By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Licking Heights school board held legally mandated public hearings July 19 on a proposal to rehire two employees who are retiring in order to trigger their state pensions, but who intend to continue working for the district. The employees are Allen Rogers, facilities manager, and Ron Nutter, custodian. District resident Dan Bauer declined to speak during the public hearing but did speak in public comments after the hearing had closed. Bauer said the district should hire qualified people who do not have jobs. “As a taxpayer in this district, I object greatly to this plan based on ethical principles,” Bauer said. “We are living at a time in our economy when we are in big trouble. Many young people are out of work. Ethically, I believe our school districts should not hire employees who have retirement income. I believe the jobs should go to unemployed people who need income to survive in this troubled economy.” Bauer said the district should save money by hiring younger workers. “Hiring new employees rather than retiring employees should result in a savings to the school district,” Bauer said. “Generally speaking, retiring employees are at the top of the pay scale See LICKING HEIGHTS, page A4

By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Community Newspapers A Pataskala veteran and a New Albany business recently offered their support to an organization with a dedicated purpose of helping others. Lowell Marx of Pataskala said he did not need the $350 veteran’s bonus check he received this year from the state of Ohio. He decided to give it to the Salvation Army in Central Ohio. Marx told the Salvation Army he hopes his gift will inspire veterans and others to acts of charitable giving. “I want to encourage other veterans who may not need the money to give it to the Salvation Army or the (American) Red Cross,” he said. Marx was a member of the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at Ohio State University and

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Southwest Licking school board met July 21 to approve policies for the coming school year and various personnel contracts. Board member Cindy Zaino challenged a contract for professional services for review of IEPs, individual education plans established under federal law for students with disabilities. Zaino said the current contract should be approved but that going forward the district should bring such functions inside, for staff to perform. See SWL BOARD, page A2

LC Players to stage ‘Postmortem’ Aug. 4-14 Licking County Players will present Ken Ludwig’s “Postmortem” Aug. 4-14. The show is described as “mysterious thriller” with classic devices such as “shots in the dark, closely held secrets and misbegotten suspicions.” William Gillette, one of upstate New York’s finest actors and playwrights, invites cast members for an entertaining weekend at his Connecticut River castle. What he didn’t plan on was a murder plot against himself. Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. Aug. 4-6 and Aug. 11-13. Matinee performances are scheduled for 2 p.m. Sundays, Aug. 7 and 14. All performances are in an air-conditioned theater at 131 W. Main St. in downtown Newark. Tickets are available online at lickingcountyplayers.org or by calling (740) 349-2287. Tickets are $13 for adults and $11 for seniors and students. See IN BRIEF, page A4
“When I look at the cost of $37.75 per hour, that’s more than the cost of someone who is providing our children with counseling at $35 an hour,” Zaino said. “This is to monitor IEPs. I wish that was something being done by our own staff and I feel it should be done by our own staff.” Zaino said such plans are highly individualized and closely involve teachers, so teachers should perform the work. “I could vote for that for one more year, but never again,” Zaino said. “I feel that is something we should be staying on top of. If you are trained as a special-education teacher, that should be your forte, working with kids and writing IEPs and following them to the letter of the law.” Board member Don Huber said such services might also be obtainable by the district in conjunction with educational service centers and joint agreements with other districts to share costs. “I’ve been thinking over the last few months, ever since we started working with our current budget and its financial implications, about where we can work with other districts and come to some combined work with Licking Heights or Lakewood or some-
one who is close to us, not someone on the other side of the state,” Huber said. “Is this an area where there could bring synergies with other school districts?” Zaino said some districts in the state were beginning to share highcost services, such as superintendents. “We see districts, not our size, but smaller districts, sharing superintendents, doing big work and important work,” Zaino said. “It’s very important that we look at sharing services like that.” “We have jobs that are not fulltime jobs,” Huber agreed. “Our district is small enough that we don’t have a full-time position, but it’s large enough we need the work done by somebody. “It may not be the most efficient way to select people and I keep wondering, if we can’t work out an arrangement with other districts for one-third or two-thirds or half and half, something like that. I know the (educational service center) is a player in all of this. “We could look at synergies, especially with our part-time professional positions.” In other business, the board approved the purchase of three buses at a cost of $74,200 and a number of policies covering board administration and district operations.

POOL PROPOSAL “It seems to me the best way to approach this is to create a park that is a dog park, and it should not be one where we have a bunch of youth soccer teams,” Hayes said. Council member Barb Triplett asked for a report from the city administration about dogs in the parks. “Rather than just sitting here and hashing and discussing it, we need to have the administration find out what rules are in place and do a little research to find out when the ‘no dogs allowed’ signs went up,” Triplett said. “Was that just willy-nilly or did someone actually do something? Sitting here and throwing out our opinions is not going to do anything.” www.ThisWeekNews.com
Continued from page A1 “We have an ordinance that says as long as the dogs are under control, that is what’s allowed,” Brush said. “There are a lot of parks in Columbus where they allow dogs in parks. The fact that it takes an older dog a while to come out of the woods does not mean it is not under control.” Ashbrook said she had reports of dogs jumping on people. “They’ll jump up on you and that’s a little scary,” Ashbrook said. “I’ve never had that happen to me, but I’ve had people say that.” Council member Dan Hayes said the city should look into establishing a dedicated dog park.

ETNA Continued from page A1 a dedicated deputy for the township?” Thorp said. Carlisle said any decision to contract for a deputy would require a property tax. “We need to explore avenues,” Carlisle said. “We’ll have to get with the prosecuting attorney’s office to prepare language for a levy.” Carlisle said a volunteer committee would probably be named to explore contract terms, with the goal of voting on a levy in 2012. “We could put a measure on the ballot,” Carlisle said. “We should be able to have something ready to go for the May primary.” Carlisle said he could not estimate what the millage would be, noting that it had been more than 20 years since Etna Township had its own property-tax levy in effect. “The only levy I recall Etna Township ever having was a road levy in 1988, 1989,” Carlisle said. In other business, the trustees appointed Richard Knapp and Mark Schaff to the tax-incentive review council. www.ThisWeekNews.com
reasonable minds can disagree,” Satterwhite said. “I always love when someone comes and shares their views, so I really respect that. “The thing I’ll say about the decision, my decision is based on kids in the district. When you have someone who is really performing, I think it’s important that the district retain someone like that. I understand your position, but I want you to know it’s not easy to put all decisions in one box like that.” Bauer also encouraged the dis-
trict to take steps to join with unions and teachers and administrators associations in the state to argue against expanded funding for community schools and other nondistrict education options. “Our elected officials’ unwillingness to address this issue is not acceptable,” Bauer said. “Every piece of legislation coming out of the Statehouse is going to reduce the effectiveness of public schools in favor of charter and private schools.” www.ThisWeekNews.com

SALVATION ARMY Continued from page A1 prototype manager, said the vehicle also has a new hot-water tank, a new rear bumper and gas shocks to keep the hood propped open for easier repairs. The tire rims were painted and cleaned, as well. The canteen is a mobile disaster vehicle that is used on a weekly basis to keep it functional, said Alice Hohl, community-relations director for the Salvation Army. Capt. Terry Wood of the Salvation Army Chapel at Worthington Woods said the canteen is used at three Columbus locations every Saturday and Sunday to distribute 250 meals each day. Volunteers run the “Heart to Heart” program, which distributes the meals to homeless people and others in need. “(The canteen is) used every weekend and it’s also available for emergency disasters that happen locally or outside our area,” Wood said. As the canteen aged, Salvation Army workers knew they needed to make repairs. But Wood said funding was not available.
Do you Suffer from Weight Gain, Fatigue, Headaches? By Lori Wince/ThisWeek
Do you feel like every drop of energy is drained from your body and want to know why and find lasting solutions?
Bill Stimel (right), the research and development prototype manager for Commercial Vehicle Group in New Albany, opens the new awning on the refurbished Salvation Army canteen vehicle.
That’s when James Williams, vice president of human resources for CVG, stepped in. Williams is on the Salvation Army board and decided his company could help. “We’ve done a lot of things to support them,” Williams said. Williams said CVG donated the parts and labor. The project took six weeks and a team of four CVG workers — Ben Uditis, Lee Ball, J.R. Pornsopon and Neale Spencer — to complete.
“It was a lot of fun, actually,” Uditis said. “It’s fun to give back to the community and this was something completely different (than what we do).” CVG produces cabs for heavy trucks, construction and agricultural equipment and parts for some automobiles. CVG plans to feature the canteen at its annual car show Oct. 18 at 7800 Walton Parkway in New Albany.

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.

Settlers making push for playoff berth By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Licking County Settlers baseball team hopes to finish the regular season strong this week in an effort to qualify for the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League playoffs. The Settlers won the regular-season title last summer and then were runners-up in the tournament, but that was under the old one-division format. The GLSCL was split into two divisions — North and South — this season. The top two teams in each division will advance, as will the two teams with the next-best records regardless of division. Licking County has struggled this month. The Settlers were 13-9 entering July 4 but 17-18 before playing North Division leader Lima on July 22 and 23. The Settlers were second in the North behind Lima, which was 2111. Lake Erie was third at 16-18. “It looks like we’ll have to finish second to make it because the two (wildcard spots) will likely go to the South (Division),” said first-year coach Devin McIntosh, whose team beat Stark County 7-1 on July 21. “We’ve got to start winning some of these games shortly.” Licking County will play five games this week, with road contests Tuesday, July 26, against Grand Lake and Wednesday, July 27, against Stark County. The Settlers will close the regular season by playing host to Lake Erie on Thursday and Friday, July 28 and 29, and to Grand Lake on July 31. “These guys are still playing hard and they’re in a good place mentally despite some recent struggles,” McIntosh said. “We went through a tough stretch of 13 games in 12 days and we lost five players in a four-day stretch. We lost four of them to seasonending injuries and another one had to go back to school.

“But the new guys have mixed in well and the camaraderie and effort are still there. There’s not one of them who has the desire to quit or hang it up for the season. We’ve just got some very good guys in terms of ability and desire.” Through 34 games, Wes Meadows
(2B/LF) was among the league leaders in batting average (.342, seventh), home runs (5, second) and RBI (22, tied for third). He also had 19 runs and nine doubles. “Wes Meadows has had a tremendous season,” McIntosh said. “We knew he was very talented and we ex-
pected great things out of him.” Center fielder Alex Johnson was batting .311 with 23 runs, 18 RBI, nine doubles and 12 stolen bases. He was tied for third in the league in runs. Right fielder Nick Schulz was hitting .301 with a league-best 25 runs and also had nine doubles.
Third baseman David Schwabe was hitting .295 with 21 runs, followed by left fielder and first baseman Tyler Wynn (.286 with 20 runs, 20 RBI and a team-best 15 doubles) and shortstop Peyton Hart (.283). Wynn led the See SETTLERS, page B2

Chevington Woods again captures Tri-County title By TREY SMITH ThisWeek Community Newspapers
For the seventh consecutive summer, the Tri-County Aquatics League championship meet ended with the Chevington Woods Kingfish swimming team coming out on top. The boys and girls teams of Chevington Woods combined to score 850.5 points and finish well ahead of the second-place Huntington Hills Froggers (531) in the 12-team meet on July 21 in Canal Winchester. “I thought we swam really well. It was a hot day, so we had to hydrate and get over that,” said first-year Chevington Woods coach Kevin Yates. “We put in a lot of hard work on basically the fundamentals, and I think it paid off for us. All the kids stepped up. The great thing about the Tri-County league is everyone swims, and it’s such a competitive meet.” The Kingfish won 34 of 77 events held during the meet, which began at 8 a.m. and concluded just before 9 p.m. on a day when the heat index was almost 110 degrees. “It’s amazing.

team for 12 years, it kind of finally hit me that it was over,” said Pickerington North graduate Morgan Grodesky, who competed for the Kingfish. “It was nice to see the little kids improve and everyone was cheering and everyone was excited.” On the girls side, Chevington Woods accumulated 431.5 points. The Groveport Fighting Fish (358) were second.
Grodesky, who will attend Florida Atlantic on a partial swimming scholarship, participated in the first-place 200-meter medley relay (2 minutes, 13.24 seconds), won the 50 freestyle (29.09), finished second in the 100 freestyle (1:07.51) and helped Chevington Woods win the 200 free relay (1:59.74).

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.”
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
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
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.
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.

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

league in doubles and was tied for fifth in RBI. Tyler Vaske (4-1, 1.66 ERA), Grant Porter (1-2, 2.36 ERA), Brent Choban (3-1, 3.90 ERA), Brock Trimbur (2-3, 4.07 ERA) and Ben Trimbur (0-2, 4.45 ERA) led starting pitchers. Pitching well in relief have been Andrew Austin (0-0, 1.04 ERA in 8 2/3 innings), Spencer Radabaugh (0-1, 1.93 ERA in 18 2/3 innings), Justin Warrington (1-0, 2.46 ERA in 11 innings), Seth Willoughby (10, 2.57 ERA in 7 innings), Brett Barber (1-2, 2.91 ERA in 21 2/3 innings), Charlie Suich (01, 3.22 ERA in 22 1/3 innings) and Corey Schultz (1-2, 3.31 ERA in 16 1/3 innings). Injuries and starting pitching forced a little downslide, but McIntosh remains confident the team will finish strong. “Injuries and roster changes

“It was a pitchers’ battle the whole time and we both gave up runs in the 22nd inning,” Smith said. “We went into the last inning with clear heads and ready to finish it.” Erin Roberts led off the bottom of the 22nd with a single before Lauren Espe and Meredith Parish followed with bunt singles to load the bases. Smith didn’t waste time, sending the first offering from Phillips over the left-field fence. “(Phillips) had retired like 13 or 14 in a row before we came up in the 22nd, so having our No. 9 batter, Erin Roberts, come up and get a hit was big,” Davidson coach Angelo Forte said. “Then Lauren Espe and Meredith Parish followed with bunts to load the bases and then (Liberty) shaded Courtney to right field. She had only hit one ball in her life to right field, so I was hoping she could get the ball to fall in left field so we could win it. (The grand slam) was something I never saw coming.” The Wildcats advanced to a regional semifinal at Ohio State, where they lost to Marysville 12-1 to finish the season 23-7. Davidson catcher Kaylyn Heading said the district final was the kind of game that a player never forgets. “It was 22 innings and those type of games just don’t come around often,” said Heading, who played four seasons at Rio Grande and graduated in 2010 with a degree in professional and business communication. “Courtney pitched great and then came up and got the big hit like she had throughout the season. It was a pretty magical ending. It’s still pretty cool, even today.” Forte said the game might never have reached the 22nd inning had a rule change not been made before the 2006 season. Before that, after games reached the 10th inning, they were played according to international rules. That meant at the beginning of each half inning, a runner was placed at second base with no outs. “We lost a district final that way to Mount Ver- shennen@thisweeknews.com non (3-1 in 10 innings in 2002) and I had been www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
SWIM The second-place battle between Huntington Hills and Valley View was close throughout the meet. Huntington Hills received a strong performance from Andrew Martin, who captured first place in the 100 individual medley (1:05.91) and the 100 free (56.91). Martin also was part of the 200 free relay that won in 1:43.9. Also on that relay were Jacob Griffith, Adam Ingram and Joshua Cohen. “All of our kids all the way around swam fantastic races today,” Huntington Hills co-coach Rick Maddox said. “If I had to guess I’d say probably 70 percent of our swimmers swam best times today. So coming in second mixed with personal improvements, it is a great day for us at Huntington Hills.” Combined team scores were broken down into three divisions. Teams that finished fifth through eighth were considered Division II and ninth and lower were considered Division III. Baltimore (247.5) won the Division II title ahead of Pickerington (213) and Moundbuilders (131) won the Division III championship ahead of Lancaster (101).
Continued from page B1
In the 200 free relay, Grodesky, Katey Fisher, Kelly Mason and Taylor Shotwell finished just short of the meet record of 1:57.27. The Huntington Hills girls finished third (268), followed by the Valley View Gators (161), Bexley Marlins (137), Baltimore Sea Lions (127.5), Canal Winchester (84.5), Pickerington Tiger Sharks (73), Pataskala Area Swim Team (47.5), Spring Valley Stingrays (45), Moundbuilders Country Club (35) and Lancaster Country Club (8). On the boys side, Chevington Woods topped runner-up Huntington Hills 419-263. “It was great because the former coaches did such a great job that I was able to just step right in and put in what I believe was important, and it seemed to really pay off today,” said Yates, who took over the program from Seth Bower. “It’s a great team, a very supportive team, and I am happy to see all of them be successful and have a great meet.” Finishing third on the boys side was Valley View (248) followed by Groveport (148), Pickerington (140), Baltimore (120), Pataskala (105), Moundbuilders (96), Lancaster (93), Bexley (70), Spring Valley (45) and Canal Winchester (21). www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Pediatric HealthSource
Abdominal pain is not uncommon in children 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 in-
July 24, 2011
clude 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 regularDESALEGN ly and consult your primary physician with concerns. YACOB 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.
