Kraus remembered for public service By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ken Kraus is being remembered by many as a passionate public servant who has left a lasting impact on Marysville. “Ken Kraus is the epitome of public service in the community,” Union County Chamber of Commerce CEO Eric Phillips said. “He volunteered for so many different things. “His impact on planning and development, on the city in general and on

Union County will be long felt.” Kraus, chairman of the city’s planning commission, died of a heart attack Tuesday, July 19, at age 70 after collapsing on a local golf course on

Scotts Co. for 19 years, had been a substitute teacher and was passionate about helping the local library and his church. “He always wore a big smile,” said former Marysville mayor Christiane Schmenk, soon-to-be director of the Ohio Department of Development. “Just

a positive, upbeat, friendly, outgoing guy who cared deeply about the community.” Schmenk worked with Kraus for nearly 15 years, a span that included his most recent role as chairman of the planning commission. A mentor to her when she took office, Schmenk described Kraus as “an amazing public servant” and a “friend to everyone.” “He was willing to put in long hours See KRAUS, page A2

Jerome Township seeks Ethics Commission advice By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Jerome Township Board of Trustees has asked the Ohio Ethics Commission for advice regarding the township’s relationship with Union County Chamber of Commerce CEO Eric Phillips. Phillips serves as Union County’s economic development director and as CEO of the Union County Chamber of Commerce. He has performed duties in his dual positions for 10 years. A letter requesting an advisory opinion from the Ohio Eric Phillips Ethics Commission was sent July 13 on behalf of the board by Kathleen Crowley, township development director, to the ethics commission’s executive director, Paul Nick. It asks for “an advisory opinion from the Ohio Ethics Commission on how the Jerome Township Board of Trustees should address future situations in which the Union County economic development director, Eric Phillips, holds an additional position which requires him to perform duties on behalf of the Union County Chamber of Commerce that affect the Township.” Crowley had no comment on the matter. “At this time, we’re just not going to comment on this,” she said. Phillips also declined to comment. According to information on the Ohio Ethics Commission website, the purpose of an advisory opinion is to provide guidance in writing to an official or employee before the official or employee engages in an action that may be prohibited by the law. If a person receives a written opinion from the commission, and acts in compliance with the opinion, the opinion provides the person with immu-

New fitness facility focuses on group boot camps By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A workout boasting cardio, toning and core training can now be found in Marysville. Fit Body Bootcamp, located inside Livin Up 2 Fitness and Wellness Center at 1004 Columbus Ave., opened last week, providing fitness training unlike anything else in Marysville, owner Jeremy Werner said.

“The service and the fitness formula that we have is kind of unmatched by anybody,” he said. Werner described the boot camps as personal training in a group setting with fast-paced, fun and challenging workouts that are always different. “We don’t use machines,” he said. “It’s a combination of three workouts in one; we combine fat-melting cardio, body toning resistance and tummy-tightening core train-

ing. It’s really just an unstoppable fitness formula.” According to Werner, obesity is an epidemic that is on the rise. “I think there’s a lot of misinformation out there. Everyone thinks there’s a magic pill or there’s all these crash diets … that don’t work,” he said. Werner played two years of professional football in Europe and three years of arena football. After sustaining a knee injury, he became

a personal trainer. “I played professional football for five years and this is the way I train,” he said. “It’s very athleticbased, very functional-based and very effective. “Really, the best way to do it is through hard work, dedication and good nutritional advice, and that’s what we provide,” Werner said.

Mill Valley subdivision Speed limit to drop on Route 31 Turkey Hill gas station plans approved By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

City crews will post signs indicated reduced speed limits of 35 mph — down from 50 mph — on state Route 31 north of Creekview Drive to Quail Hollow Drive, around the first week of August. Since Mill Valley has experienced continuous growth over the past five years, Route 31 is experiencing a higher volume of traffic, especially during rush hour, Marysville City Council member Tracy Richardson said. “The idea is that we put safety first,” she said. “The congestion on 31 has just gotten to the point where lives are at risk.” Richardson said her concern is notifying the community of the speed limit change ahead of time.

“

The idea is that we put safety first. The congestion on 31 has just gotten to the point where lives are at risk.

”

“My concern is that folks aren’t surprised and they understand that we’ve lowered the speed limit to protect everyone,” she said. City engineer Valerie Klingman said the city is finalizing its plan to inform the public. “We will be using pretty much every means possible … to help get the message out,” Klingman said.

Plans for a new gas station-convenience store outside of Marysville’s Mill Valley subdivision are in the beginning stages, according to city planner Greg DeLong. On July 13, the Marysville Design Review Board approved an exterior and landscaping plan application for the construction of a 24-hour Turkey Hill gas station, convenience store and car wash. The application was submitted by J. Carter Bean of Bean Architects in Columbus. The business is planned to go in at the southwest corner of state Route 31 North and Mill Road. “We have approved their design,” DeLong said, which includes the building itself and its layout. “We have not issued a zoning permit, nor have they been issued

building permits. Those things usually will come later.” DeLong said there were minor changes made to the exterior and landscaping plan, such as mixing up the plant varieties. He said the land is properly zoned (B-

1) for the 24-hour business. “B-1 zoning is what we call … service business zoning district,” DeLong said. “That (the proposed Turkey Hill) is a permitted use in that zoning district.” According to Denise Clark, who spoke on behalf of Turkey Hill, the company is looking to start construction sometime this fall, pending municipal approvals. Plans are to open the store approximately 120 days after construction begins, she said. The convenience store will offer the Turkey Hill’s Real Time Café and an expanded grocery and frozen food section, which will include more than 700 Kroger brand items, such as produce and meat, Clark said. Customers will also be able to earn and redeem Kroger rewards points for gas discounts. bbyers@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Kraus remembered for public service Continued from page A1 on a volunteer basis because he cared about the community,” she said. “(He) had a huge depth of knowledge about how the city did things and what was in the city’s best interest and was really skillful at bringing together different constituents … and being able to craft legislation for the planning commission that was able to meet the needs of all those constituents. “He was really very willing to share his knowledge and guidance, and it was in a helpful way,” Schmenk said. “He just wanted to help the community.” Although Kraus held multiple positions in city government that made him a recognizable community member, anyone who had

attended a Marysville High School football game in the past three decades knew his voice. For 37 years, Kraus called the Monarchs’ football games from the press box and never missed a single Friday night. Kraus retired from the duty at the end of last season and will be forever remembered as “the voice of the Monarchs.” As one of the Monarchs’clock operators, Gore said he had the pleasure of sitting with Kraus in the home press box for 26 years. “We knew we were going to miss him as the ‘voice of the Monarchs’ after he retired last year, but this community is going to miss him a lot, too,” Gore said. Kraus is survived by his wife of 47 years, Alice, and their two

grown sons, Dirk and Matt, and their families. Kraus graduated in 1958 from Medina High School and received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Ohio State University and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Dayton. A passionate fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes, Kraus was a member of the OSU President’s Club and had attended football games with his wife every year since he graduated from college. “He truly was a big Buckeye football fan,” Gore said. “He cheered for the Buckeyes, cheered for the Monarchs (and) cheered for the city of Marysville.” bbyers@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

He has been a personal trainer for six years, and after working long hours as an independent trainer, he said he felt limited in the number of people he could help. Fit Body Bootcamp has allowed him to cut back his hours and increase the number of people he reaches, he said. “My goal in the next five to six years is to try to help 10,000 people, whether it be through my newsletter, fitness emails, fitness magazine, boot camps (or) personal training,” he said.

Changing lives every day is a big part of the job Werner said he enjoys. “I wake up every day excited because I know that I’m going to make a difference,” he said. Werner said he hopes to expand to a larger facility as the program grows. “I genuinely care about every single person,” he said of his clients. “I want every single person to succeed.”

Plain City Police Chief James Hill said officers were called to Bigelow’s Brew House, 209 W. Bigelow Ave., at approximately 10 p.m. July 20 after state liquor patrol agents witnessed patrons publicly exposing themselves. Kimberly A. Fry, 35, of Marysville, and Megan K.

According to Hill, the Ohio Investigative Unit, a division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, issued three citations to the bar owner Tim O’Connors: one for improper conduct, one for public indecency and the third citation for improper labeling of liquor bottles. O’Connors, who has a long history of owning bars and restaurants in the area, said he feels set up. “If the police didn’t want that here, then why didn’t they come to me and tell me?” he asked. “I would not have had it here.”

Business brief Honda honors two Marysville suppliers Two Marysville firms are among 15 recognized for excellence at providing services to Honda plants in Ohio and Indiana. Honda’s maintenance, repair and operational (MRO) suppliers provide a wide range of goods and services that support product manufacturing. Scioto Services received the 2011 Honda MRO Supplier of the Year Award, ranking it as a top company that supports Honda’s automobile manufacturing. McAuliffe’s Industrial was awarded the 2011 Honda MRO Supplier Special Recognition Award, which recognizes suppliers for out-

standing innovations to increase the efficiency of business transactions and consolidate buying power among the various Honda manufacturing operations. “It has taken an extreme effort to manage the disruption of our businesses through a severe economic downturn and then a devastating earthquake and tsunami,” said Jan Gansheimer, purchasing division senior manager at Honda of America Mfg. Inc. “We are acknowledging an outstanding group of suppliers that deliver the highest possible value to our customers through their quality products and services,” she said. “All of us at Honda appreciate their excellence at meeting the needs of their customers.” — Britany Byers

Shower. 99 ways to scoff at 99 ways You’d think, after years of reading magazine lists, I’d have learned not to take them seriously. “Eleven Secret Love Tests Guys Give Women,” “15 Things Men Don’t Want You to Know About Them,” “3 Stay-Svelte Tips for the Weekend” — you know the kind of lists I mean. True, I’ve moved on from the examples above — all actual lists taken from Glamour magazine’s website — to lists that are more, shall we say, wideranging and general in scope, but the lists themselves aren’t noticeably more intelligent. But the best of the worst lists I’ve seen recently arrived as a four-page, illustrated flier in the AARP Bulletin. It’s apparently a follow-up to a list published last summer, called “99 Great Ways to Save.” It was such a hit with readers, the editors decided to bring it back, this time calling it … well, this time calling it “99 Great Ways to Save” again. I can only imagine the happy laughter in the staff room when the decision to start compiling ways to save again was announced. My husband read the list first, then handed it to me because he knows the sort of thing I find hilarious. I can’t list all 99 Great Ways, of course; I’ll have to limit myself to mentioning a few of what I consider the greatest of the Great Ways to Save. No. 78, under the category “Home,” for instance. “Repurpose pantyhose,” this tip directs. “Use the legs to scrub dishes, shine shoes, train shrubs or store onions, flower bulbs and paintbrushes. The seat can protect squash and melons from garden critters or be stretched over a wire hanger to make a pond or pool skimmer.” Well, to address the last part first, if I had a pond or a pool and the need for a skimmer, I certainly wouldn’t take the chance of letting the neighbors recognize the business end of the skimmer as the sitting-down end of my pantyhose. Furthermore, I haven’t the slightest idea what a person can possibly hope to train shrubs to do. Odd jobs? Long division? All mine have ever been persuaded to do is play dead. But in any case, and leaving aside the fact that this tip and several others sound as if they were clipped from Heloise, I can’t use No. 78 because I al-

Just thinking

most never wear pantyhose. I never go to yard sales, either, so No. 76: “Be a yard sale shark,” MARGO means nothBARTLETT ing to me. Except that if AARP expects its demographic to purchase casseroles and slippers and other “choice items” at yard sales, I’ll have to find another market segment. Oh, here’s one I can’t wait to tell you about, No. 13: “Pay yourself.” This is how it works: “Put an open jar in a conspicuous place in your home. When you do something you might have paid for — ironing, cooking, fixing a good latte — feed the jar with the amount you’d have spent. Do the same if you resist the impulse to buy something. The money will add up fast.” It sure will. Especially after, once I can see that jar over there, I start making money-spending decisions like mad. Suddenly, I feel like taking an Alaskan cruise. But I guess I won’t — put $3,500 in the jar. Sometimes I think I could drink two more lattes a day. But I won’t because that would be nuts. Eight dollars in the jar! And if someone out there in the world is willing to iron my white T-shirts and the dog’s dress-up kerchiefs, let’s say I thought about it. Twenty-five dollars, saved in the jar. A brilliant plan, right? Except it won’t work, because for one thing, I don’t have the $3,500 that I’m not using for the cruise — that’s why I’m not going on the cruise — and for another

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

Pediatric HealthSource

Abdominal pain not uncommon Recurrent abdominal pain is very prevalent in children and adolescents, making it one of the most common reasons children are referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist, a doctor who treats problems with the digestive tract and liver. One common functional disorder that causes abdominal pain in children is irritable bowel syndrome. IBS is a gastrointestinal disorder that manifests itself as recurrent abdominal pain associated with changes in bowel movements. Children with IBS may have diarrhea, constipation or both. A typical symptom is bellyache around the belly button that usually goes away or gets better after a bowel movement. Between bellyaches, the child feels fine. The exact cause of IBS is unknown, but it is believed to be due to hypersensitive nerve cells that reside in the intestines and send messages to the brain. Stress, certain types of foods such as spicy or greasy foods, caffeine, chocolate or milk have been known to trigger IBS symptoms. Physical and emotional trauma can also play a role in the development of IBS. Some children with IBS tend to be more sensitive to stressful situations such as family conflict, moving, taking tests and issues with peers. Sometimes, triggers are never identified. Though IBS generally doesn’t lead to serious health problems, it may affect school attendance and daily function. It is important to consult your primary care physician to address the problem and rule out other reasons why your child may be having abdominal pain. Functional dyspepsia (indigestion) is another common functional disorder. Symptoms include

nausea, vomiting, burping, decreased appetite, stomach pain and/or bloating. It is not associated with bowel movement changes. Indigestion usually happens infrequently, but be sure to monitor symptoms regularly and consult your priDESALEGN mary physician with concerns. Some other gastrointestiYACOB nal problems that may cause recurrent abdominal pain are Celiac disease, gastritis and lactose intolerance. Your doctor will decide what labs and tests need to be done, based on the symptoms and physical exam. More serious diseases such as appendicitis, Crohn’s disease, inflammation of the pancreas, stomach ulcers and intestinal blockage will typically cause sudden and persistent pain with other associated symptoms such as severe vomiting, fever, bloody stools or significant weight loss. Diagnosis of any functional gastrointestinal disorder is based on a thorough history and physical exam, along with a few basic lab tests. Treatment may involve dietary and lifestyle changes and/or medication. Consult your primary care physician if you suspect your child may be suffering from any of these disorders. Dr. Desalegn Yacob is an attending physician in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of Clinical Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Defections leave MSL alignment unclear for 2013 Return of Licking County League also affects OCC By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Mid-State League likely is headed for realignment, but interim commissioner Jim Hayes doesn’t know what the conference will look like after the 2012-13 school year. Hayes, who is the athletics director at Teays Valley and chair of the MSL’s realignment and expansion committee,

believes the league likely will have to add schools. “We have six schools leaving after the 2012-13 school year and that leaves 18 in the league,” said Hayes, who took over on an interim basis after Frank Pergolizzi resigned as MSL commissioner in the spring. “Right now, I wish I knew what we are going to do. There is no clear direction on what we will do.” In the spring, MSL-Ohio Division members Granville, Heath, Lakewood, Licking Valley and Newark Catholic announced they would be leaving to join a re-established Licking County League (LCL). Licking Heights of the MSL-Cardinal also will be leaving for the LCL.

“We could have three six-team divisions (with the 18 remaining schools) or two nine-school divisions, but neither of those has very much support,” Hayes said. “A lot of schools are worried about increased travel and competing against new schools that they don’t have a history with and they don’t know a lot about them. They want competitive balance and they are not sure about new schools.” Schools showing interest in joining the MSL include Chillicothe, Fairfield Christian, Grove City Christian, Logan and Worthington Christian. Another potential problem comes from the OCC looking to replace Watkins

Memorial, which will be joining the six MSL schools in the LCL. OCC commissioner Dave Cecutti said MSL schools looking to fill that void include Bexley, Canal Winchester, Grandview, Hamilton Township, Teays Valley and Whitehall. Chillicothe, Logan and Marion Harding also applied for the OCC as well as Jonathan Alder, which has since joined the Marion County-based Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference (MOAC). Cecutti said he expects the 32-school OCC to find a replacement for Watkins Memorial in the next few weeks, but there also is a possibility that the conference could expand. “The one-for-one swap (of a new

school to replace Watkins Memorial) is there, but we’re also looking into adding another (eight-team) division,” Cecutti said. “If it’s in our best interest to add a fifth division then it’s something we will do. “I really don’t know for sure what direction we will be going, but we are looking into all available options.” Hayes expects the MSL to remain in three divisions, even if only five teams join the conference. That will mean two eight-team divisions and one with seven teams. “We are staying with the possibilSee MSL, page A8

Commentary

Athletes learn to deal with adversity The achievements of the high school student-athletes writing in my summer series are notable and numerous. They have won state championships in bowling, football, golf, wrestling and track and field. They have achieved great individual and team success. But along the way there LARRY have been defeats and disLARSON appointments. Each of these seniors-to-be explains how he or she has learned to handle adversity. Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I have a picture of myself after losing to Dublin Coffman in the regional Division I championship game my sophomore year on my bedroom wall. I see it every morning when I wake up. I think it is important to remember what defeat feels like as it creates motivation to improve and the desire and drive to never feel like that again.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Disappointment is the goal that you failed to accomplish. Defeat is when you fail to try again. Never give up.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “To be the best, one must experience defeat. One must know his mistakes and know where he does not want to be again.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “No matter how good you are there will always be disappointments. My advice is to move on and learn from your mistakes because defeat will make you stronger.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I handle defeat and disappointment as fuel to go out and work even harder to be more prepared.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Just tell yourself that you don’t ever want to feel that pain of losing again and that you need to work much harder to be successful.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “Use defeat and disappointment as a means to grow and work harder. Then simply move on and do better next time.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “Don’t let disappointment and defeat get to you because everyone has down days and if you worry a lot about it then things will continue to go down and will do more harm than good.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “Defeat and disappointment are part of any game you play. What is important is that you are gracious in both victory and defeat.” Speaking of being gracious, win or lose, the student-athletes next week will discuss how they view respect and sportsmanship in competition. I’ll see you at a game.

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

Top Individual Performances: No. 4

Smith shined in 22-inning game By SCOTT HENNEN

Counting down to No. 1

ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Courtney Smith remembers it like it was yesterday, even though it was more than five years ago. The emotion. The excitement. The exhaustion. The strikeouts. The grand slam. Especially the grand slam. In May 2006, Smith, a standout senior pitcher for the Hilliard Davidson High School softball team, went head-to-head with Sarah Phillips of Olentangy Liberty for 22 innings in a Division I district final at Pickerington Central. The three-day marathon wasn’t decided until Smith hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd for a 4-1 victory. Smith also had 29 strikeouts, the 11th highest total in state history for an extra-inning game, according to the Ohio High School Athletic Association. In 2010, Hayley Flynn of Duncan Falls Philo set the state record with 55 strikeouts in 24 innings against Thornville Sheridan. “The biggest thing I remember is this wave of emotion,” Smith said. “I was exhausted

ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 5-10. Check back next week for No. 3 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com. 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers

advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 5135 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the freethrow line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays, the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 en-

tering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 15-9 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining.

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.”

NOS. 5-10:

Smith’s counterpart also had an impressive performance. Phillips struck out 30, which ties her for ninth in the state record book with Medina’s Jessica Miller in 1999, but she also surrendered Smith’s district-title winning home run. “I think she said it was a riseball, but I don’t think so because I wouldn’t have hit it if it was (a riseball),” Smith said. “Maybe I got out ahead of the pitch before it started to move or maybe it didn’t move. I knew it was high and I was able to make contact and get it over the fence.” It was the first home run Smith had hit at any level. She played one season at the University of Indianapolis and never hit another homer. “I would have to say the grand slam was better (than the 29 strikeouts),” said Smith, who had 77 wins at Davidson. “It was my first homer ever and just to be able to finally end that game.” Liberty took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 22nd. Rebecca Adam hit a two-out double and moved to third on a single by Phillips. See SMITH, page A8

On the boys side, Tee-k Kelly of Wheaton, Ill., birdied Nos. 17 and 18 in the final round for a two-stroke victory over Matthew Gerard of Rocky River. Kelly had a three-day total of 1over 214 and Gerard shot 216. There was a four-way tie for third at 218 that included Hilliard Darby’s JooYoung Lee and Dublin Jerome’s Mert Selamet.

The Crew's radio play-by-play announcer, Neil Sika, and TV analyst Duncan Oughton, a former Crew player, will serve as hosts of the show, which will focus on the team and soccer in central Ohio.

“We lost a district final that way to Mount Vernon (3-1 in 10 innings in 2002) and I had been pushing to get the rule changed for years,” Forte said. “I had been on both sides of the international tiebreaker, but I think the game is 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.”

Continued from page A7

Emily Capretta followed with a liner that went off the glove of shortstop Cassady Busellato, scoring Adam. “It was a pitchers’ battle the whole time and we both gave up runs in the 22nd inning,” Smith said. “We went into the last inning with clear heads and ready to finish it.” Erin Roberts led off the bottom of the 22nd with a single before Lauren Espe and Meredith Parish followed with bunt singles to load the bases. Smith didn’t waste time, sending the first offering from Phillips over the left-field fence. “(Phillips) had retired like 13 or 14 in a row before we came up in the 22nd, so having our No. 9 batter, Erin Roberts, come up and get a hit was big,” Davidson coach Angelo Forte said. “Then Lauren Espe and Meredith Parish followed with bunts to load the bases and then (Liberty) shaded Courtney to right field. She had only hit one ball in her life to right field, so I was hoping she could get the ball to fall in left field so we could win it. (The grand slam) was something I never saw coming.” The Wildcats advanced to a regional semifinal at Ohio State, where they lost to Marysville 12-1 to finish the season 23-7. Davidson catcher Kaylyn Heading said the district final was the kind of game that a player never forgets. “It was 22 innings and those type of games just don’t come around often,” said Heading, who played four seasons at Rio Grande and graduated in 2010 with a degree in professional and business communication. “Courtney pitched great and then came up and got the big hit like she had throughout the season. It was a pretty magical ending. It’s still pretty cool, even today.” Forte said the game might never have reached the 22nd inning had a rule change not been made before the 2006 season. Before that, after games reached the 10th inning, they were played according to international rules. That meant at the beginning of each half inning, a runner was placed shennen@thisweeknews.com at second base with no outs. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
