Board mulls cuts, weighs levy options Ideas include trimming $16M, variety of income taxes, property taxes By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Westerville City Schools District is likely to see budget cuts paired with a November levy bid as the school board looks to fill a $2.9-million gap in its 20112012 budget. District administrators and board members discussed budget-balancing options, including budget cuts and levies, at a July 18 work session. Without any action being taken, the district’s five-year forecast
shows the $2.9-million shortfall increasing to about $20 million in the 2012-2013 budget. If $16 million in cuts were made over the course of the five-year forecast, the district could balance the budget through the end of fiscal year 2015 with a 7.9mill property tax or a 1-percent earnedincome tax, interim treasurer Steve Huzicko told the board. The 7.9-mill levy would cost $242 annually per $100,000 of assessed property value, he said.
The 1-percent earned-income tax would apply to a taxpayer’s income, excluding Social Security, retirement benefits or investment income. Keeping a positive cash balance through fiscal year 2015, which ends June 30, 2015, would also come with a change to some assumptions in the five-year forecast: Wage and salary growth would be decreased from 5 percent to 3 percent; growth in health care costs would be reduced from 15 percent to 10 percent; and the cost of the growth of purchased serv-
ices and supplies would be capped at 4 percent, Huzicko said. If the district chose not to make budget cuts, it would need a 9.9-mill property-tax levy to balance the budget through fiscal year 2015. A 9.9-mill levy would cost $303 annually per $100,000 of assessed property value. Other options are a 1.5-percent earned-income tax to fund the district through fiscal year 2014 and an earned-income tax of 1.25 percent combined with a $5-million emergency levy to balance the budget through fiscal
year 2014, Huzicko said. The emergency levy would be about 2 mills and would cost $61 per $100,000 of assessed property value. Most board members expressed a desire to combine budget cuts with a November levy bid. “I don’t think either the pure cost reduction or the pure revenue generation are palatable options for this community,” board member Kevin Hoffman said.

Water company asks PUCO to OK rate hike By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Ohio American Water once again is asking the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) to permit it to raise rates for its customers, who include residents in the Huber Village neighborhood of Blendon Township. Earlier this month, the company filed a request to raise water rates between 20 percent and 26 percent and to raise wastewater rates by 12 percent. The average customer using 5 CCFs of water now pays a total of $89.89 per month for sewer and water service, plus a water-softening surcharge, according to OAW spokesman Jeff LaRue. The rate increases would mean the
water portion of the bill for the average user would increase by $9.02 per month, the sewer charge would increase by $5.13 per month and the water-softening surcharge would decrease by about 8 cents per month. That would bring the average monthly bill to $103.96. The PUCO has nine months to review and rule on the request. The latest Ohio American Water request comes just more than a year after the PUCO approved a watered-down rate hike for the company. Last May, the PUCO said it would allow Ohio American Water to raise rates in 2011 by 7.1 percent. The company originally had requested a multiyear 27-percent water-rate increase.
“
Every time I turn around, it (the request for an increase) is over and over and over again.
JIM WELCH Blendon Township trustee
At the time of the PUCO decision, an OAW spokeswoman said the company would have to weigh its options for recouping $27.5 million in infrastructure investments it has made since 2008. According to a company press re-
lease on the most recent request, OAW is looking for another round of rate increases to cover those costs. Blendon Township trustee Jim Welch was co-chairman of Fight the Hike Ohio, a group created to rally against Ohio American Water’s last increase request. Welch said he’s not surprised by the latest request, especially because Ohio American Water has sought six waterrate increases in the last seven years, but he said he still finds it disheartening and worries about its impact on Blendon Township. “Every time I turn around, it (the request for an increase) is over and over See WATER RATES, page A2
Development proposed at Africa and Polaris By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Developers are seeking approval for a new plan for the vacant 22-acre parcel at the northwest corner of Polaris Parkway and Africa Road. Casto and the Daimler Group will present their plans to the Westerville Planning Commission at 6:30 p.m. July 27 at the Westerville Senior Center, 310 W. Main St. Casto originally earned approval from the planning commission a few years ago to build a retail strip center with outlots on the site, Westerville sen-
ior planner Bassem Bitar said. Now the group wants to build a retail center facing Polaris Parkway with two four-story office buildings off Africa Road, to be managed by the Daimler Group, Bitar said. “It would be a similar concept” to what was previously approved, he said of the retail space, with the office component adding a new element to the site. Also at the July 27 meeting, Huntington Bank will present plans to demolish its branch at 630 S. State St. to construct a new branch on the property.

The new building is proposed to be a larger 4,600 square feet, would be constructed closer to South State Street and would be built in accordance with the city’s South State Street building overlay standards, Bitar said. “(City staff) is working with them on a few things,” he said. “They’re trying to accommodate the overlay standards.” The current Huntington branch, built in 1966, is just under 3,000 square feet.

Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce president Janet Tressler-Davis will leave her position next month for a newly created post at Otterbein University. Chamber board chairman Travis Sanders announced July 18 that Tressler-Davis will resign, effective Aug. 19, to become chief of staff to Otterbein University president Kathy Krendl. Tressler-Davis has served as chamber president for 19 years. While she’s excited to have a new opportunity at Otterbein, her alma mater, she said it’s hard to leave a position she’s held and loved for so long. “It’s sad. It’s just difficult right now,” TresslerDavis said. “I’ve lived and breathed this. It’s been my life.” In her time leading the chamber, TresslerDavis said, she has led many initiatives she’s proud of, including the establishment of the chamber’s Ambassador program, which reaches out to members to encourage them to be more involved by attending events or using chamber programs to help them get a “return on investment” for their chamber membership. Tressler-Davis said she’s also seen Leadership Westerville evolve from a six-week program to a nine-month program. “It’s now a full-fledged community leadership program,” she said. She also helped to create the Chamber Foundation, which provides high school scholarships and scholar- Janet ships for professionals who Tressler-Davis are seeking masters in business administration degrees or who are looking to continue their education to improve their careers. “The foundation went from four people sitting at a table to a full code of regulations and its own budget, its own fundraising, its own selection of people who receive the scholarships,” Tressler-Davis said. “It’s its own organization.” She said she’s seen the chamber move into its own building and seen membership and benefits grow over the years. Tressler-Davis also has helped the chamber earn two accreditations during her tenure, including one through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Tressler-Davis has earned professional accreditations and served on the board and as president of the Chamber of Commerce Executives of Ohio and serving on the board of the American Chamber of Commerce Executives. Locally, she has been involved in the Westerville Library Foundation, the Otterbein Alumni Board, the Westerville Symphony board and the Westerville Industrial Commission. Tressler-Davis said it’s the variety of the job and the people in the community who have kept her in her post for so long. “I can’t imagine being a chamber president in another community,” she said. Sanders said the chamber will begin working on a succession plan for Tressler-Davis’ departure and will begin looking for her replacement in the coming weeks.

SCHOOL LEVY Continued from page A1 “Nobody wants to see new taxes. At the end of the day, many of the people who don’t want to see new taxes wouldn’t be willing to see the services of the districts degrade.” Even with a levy, Superintendent Dan Good said, the district is at a point where students and parents will notice any budget cuts. “We are about to the point where it will have direct impact on learning,” Good said. “The infrastructure we have in place is providing very close to the minimum of what we have to provide.” The district would have to reduce curriculum options that aren’t legally required to be taught by licensed personnel, such as art, music, physical education and health, Good said. Reductions also could be made in media and technology services provided to students, which aren’t required by the state, he said. Good said he estimates that the district could eliminate about 49 classified staff positions, such as office clerks, if it provided services differently. To put the budget deficit into perspective, Good said it would take significant layoffs to cut the

estimated $20-million deficit projected by the end of fiscal year 2013. “If we’re looking at $20 million ... that’s about the equivalent of 225 certificated personnel. You can see what we’re up against,” Good said. Because salaries and benefits comprise 85 percent of the district’s budget, Good said, the budget gap could not be eliminated through cuts only without concessions from the unions or without staff reductions. “Unless we can reduce that in some way, we’re not going to find the $20 million; we’re not even going to find the $2.9 million next year,” he said. To meet election deadlines, the board must vote during its July 25 meeting to send levy options to the Franklin and Delaware county auditors’ offices. A final decision on a levy would have to be made before Aug. 10, when issues for the November ballot are due to the boards of elections. Hoffman proposed approving multiple levy options at the July 25 meeting and calling a special meeting in early August to make a final decision on a levy. That would give the board more time to weigh its decision, he said.
Continued from page A1 what unusual case: the demolition of a house at 75 N. West St. to allow for a new home to be constructed on the site. Generally, Bitar said, homeowners do not have to go before the planning commission for such a request, but in this case, the home lies within the Old Westerville Special Overlay district, which requires it. “If you’re demolishing a house, it has to go before the planning commission,” Bitar said. This particular house is located so far back from North West Street that it is not visible from the road, he said, and it does not have any known historical significance. The only issue with the application has been a lack of accessibility for the fire department to the property, but the homeowners are working with the city to correct that, Bitar said.

WATER RATES Continued from page A1 and over again. What I fear most is that residents are going to get sick of the battles and just give in,” Welch said. “You get defeated every year and you get the increase, and you don’t have the will (to fight another one).” Welch said Blendon Township residents just now are getting word of the request for another waterrate increase. Residents are disgusted with the request, but formal opposition to it has not yet been formed, he said. “The word’s getting out right now. People are very upset on a lot of fronts,” Welch said. Concerns are heightened that this rate increase will pass, Welch said, because funding for the Ohio Consumers Counsel was cut in half in the recently passed state budget. The counsel helped fight for residents during the last request, and without that support, Welch said, it will be difficult to stand up to the Ohio American Water’s team of lawyers. “I think they had a significant impact” on the PUCO approving a smaller increase last time, Welch said. “A resident can’t go out and hire a lawyer; it’s
too expensive,” he said. “PUCO has a staff of lawyers, Ohio American Water has lawyers. There’s no representation for the individual consumers.” On a positive note, Welch said he has been working with Ohio American Water officials to encourage them to donate money back into the local community. He said he has made some headway in encouraging OAW to help create a connection for the Alum Creek Bike Trail at the corner of state routes 3 and 161. Though residents and the water company might go to battle once again over rates, he said he hopes it doesn’t harm the company’s willingness to give back. “We are working to establish a little better communication,” Welch said. “I don’t know where this is going to land us. Hopefully, it just keeps going.” After filing its request for a water-rate increase, Ohio American Water also announced last week that it would sell its Ohio subsidiaries to Aqua America, which operates other water systems in Ohio. Ohio American Water said that sale, which also must be approved by the PUCO, would not affect its request for a water-rate increase. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com

To the editor: Taxpayers for Westerville Schools, acting in collaboration with the Westerville Tea Party, Westerville 9.12 Project, Levy Facts.com and many other concerned residents, were extremely disappointed with the school board’s feedback about the presentation July 11. There were four bullet points in the board’s presentation about the proposal. All were negative. The board did not address any of the following major proposals offered: • Health care benefits — analyze the new Albany plan vs. Westerville in all ways — not addressed. • Administration pension contribution — not addressed. • Dental benefits — not addressed. • Reducing departmental and building budgets — not addressed. • Reducing ESL community outreach — not addressed. • Reducing employees’ pay 15 percent — not addressed. The board approved hiring more than a dozen new employees and continues to hire, in light of their own negative projection for the 2012 budget. The board needs to take a very serious look at all our ideas and incorporate them into the final solution to resolve the financial situation the district is in. The board’s primary purpose is to manage the finances of the district in a responsible way and we have not seen that happen yet, as it relates to the current budget problem. District expenses have grown at more than twice the rate of inflation during the past 10 years, and district expenses have grown at six times the rate of student population growth during the same time. Since 2007, personal incomes in Westerville are down more than 7 percent. Taxpayers for Westerville Schools is a volunteer effort unaffiliated with any party or platform other than having schools operate in balance with the communities they serve.

public sector employees seem to think that they should continue to be exempt from any sacrifice, that annual raises and much higher than average health care benefits and other benefits are their “rights.” This is not only delusional, and selfish, it is economic suicide. Do these public sector union employees not realize that, if they continue to demand more and more and more from their private sector co-workers (in the form of continually rising taxes), even when the private sector is shrinking and reeling from the effects of an economic downturn greater than any since the Great Depression, that they are effectively cutting their own throats, and “killing the goose the lays the golden eggs?” If Senate Bill 5 is repealed, all Ohio employees will suffer, union and non-union, public sector and private sector, and the public sector union employees will see a far greater loss of jobs, and benefits, and rights than they are now complaining that Senate Bill 5 will be responsible for. Public sector union employees, wake up. If you repeal Senate Bill 5, you will pull all Ohio employees down into an economic abyss that will make today’s economic troubles, and the relatively minor sacrifices required by Senate Bill 5, look like boom times. You will realize, too late, that your opposition to Senate Bill 5 was extremely ill advised, harmful to you and everyone else in Ohio.

To the editor: Will ThisWeek Westerville be covering soon an event at which the proponents of Senate Bill 5 share their reasons for favoring this law? If only as a way of balancing coverage of the front-page story in the June 23 edition, in which opponents are given a platform for criticizing the law with absolutely no counter point of view? It is the purpose of Senate Bill 5 simply to bring the wages, benefits, and perks of public union employees more into line with what private sector employees, union and non-union, are getting in recent years. In this current recession, millions of private sector employees, union and non-union, have lost their jobs and millions more have had their wages, benefits, and hours cut. Do public sector union employees really think that it is fair, or even possible, for them to continue to get pay increases, and to enjoy extraordinary benefits, while their private sector counterparts are suffering either job loss or merely pay and benefit reduction? Senate Bill 5 is about asking public sector union employees to share in the sacrifices that their fellow workers in the private sector are already being forced to make. The main difference is that the workers in the private sector, union and non-union, realize that this kind of sacrifice is necessary in these difficult economic times and are working with their employers to reach economically realistic and practical solutions.

BrightPath aims to offer kindergarten enrichment By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspaper
Parents looking to give their kindergarteners a full-day school experience will have a new opportunity in Westerville. For the 2011-2012 school year, Westerville resident Erica Wares will launch BrightPath Active Learning, 401 E. Schrock Road, a kindergarten enrichment program. Children enrolled in the program will attend a regular halfday kindergarten session, in either the morning or afternoon, and spend the other half of the day engaged in nature-based educational activities. BrightPath also will offer an after-school program option. Wares, who has a background in business, said she was inspired to start the enrichment program based on her own experiences and needs as a parent. “I have daughters who are 5 and 7, so I’ve gone through this process,” Wares said. She said she wanted to offer an opportunity for children to learn through play and the environment, while focusing on topics that fascinate them. “I think a lot of people feel the way I do: A child doesn’t necessarily need to be in an all-day school setting,” Wares said. To start the program, she engaged the help of people with backgrounds in early childhood education. She said she researched the state kindergarten curriculum standards, around which the BrightPath programs will be based, and hired an educational director who has extensive experience teaching kindergarten through fourth grade. The staff also will include teachers with a variety of specialties, including art, music and environmental sciences. Wares said everyone who
teaches in the program has a background in education; she said she tried to hold them to the same qualifications a school district would require. “I did all of my search through networking and finding the right people to fill these positions,” she said. “As a parent, I’ve always felt like (the right teacher) makes the difference in my child’s education. That makes the program for me.” The program will aim to intertwine the state academic standards for kindergarten with outdoor learning in a natural setting, Wares said. “Kids are just inherently interested in this world around them,” she said. “If the kids are interested in something, they’re going to learn. ... If there’s a way to bring in academics, that’s where I feel like the perfect fit is.” The property on which BrigthPath is located has ample outdoor space that abuts parkland and bike trails, Wares said. “There’s lots of nice, woodsy areas for us to go and explore,” she said. As the program gets started, it will be tailored around the interests of the children enrolled, Wares said. If they seem to enjoy art and learn well that way, Wares said, the art specialist will be brought in more to work with them. The same will go for music or nature, she said. At the same time, Wares said, she will try to work with the schools the students are coming from to gain a sense of which standards the teachers are focusing on during which times of the year so the BrightPath curriculum can align to that. “We’ll work with aligning the concepts as well as aligning the timing,” she said. In its first year, BrightPath will have the capacity to teach 15 to 18 children each in the morning
and afternoon sessions, Wares said. There will be between two and four staff members on hand at all times, she said. Wares said she is excited to start the program in Westerville because she believes the community will embrace a kindergarten enrichment program. “(Parents) really want a perfect solution for their children. Us complementing the classroom environment is what this brings (to the community),” she said. More information abuot BrightPath is available online at BrightPathActiveLearning.com.

Backyard chickens: ‘No smell, no noise’ To the editor: As our family has seen residents in Columbus, Bexley and other areas in central Ohio, becoming chicken owners, we have become more interested in having our own chickens, too. While I’ve talked with some in Westerville who are supportive of having backyard chickens, I know that there are those who have a negative opinion of chickens. I believe these fears are unfounded and wanted to share what I’ve learned. If people actually visited homes that have backyard chickens, in the city, I believe they might change their mind. Some people are concerned about odors that might come from having a few chickens in the backyard. My mother’s neighbor had chickens on her small Columbus lot and I never even realized they were there until I mentioned to my mom that I would like to have chickens myself. That’s when she told me her neighbor had chickens. Otherwise there is no way I would have known. There was
absolutely no evidence of there being chickens — no smell, no noise — they were practically undetectable. This probably explains why there are already some people in Westerville keeping chickens in their backyard without the city of Westerville’s knowledge. As a Realtor, when showing homes in the Clintonville area, I have seen homes that have chickens and have noticed no smell and practically no noise. I enjoyed living in Clintonville for many years and know what it’s like living on such small lots where you can hear everything going on, in your neighbor’s yard. Yet Clintonville residents don’t seem to mind their neighbors having chickens, they respect each other and try to get along. Most homes in Westerville have larger lots than typical Clintonville homes, so if there isn’t a problem in Clintonville, I don’t see why there’d be a problem in Westerville? I recently showed a home where the neighbor had chickens and wasn’t keeping their property clean. In general, this home was a very unkempt eyesore, which really had nothing to do with the chickens and everything to do with the homeowner just
not keeping the property clean, because they had junk all over the property. Even as filthy as this property looked, I couldn’t smell the chickens at all. I even went over to the property to ask the homeowner a question (partly wanting to see if I’d notice any smell if I was on the actual property) and I still didn’t smell anything. I asked him some questions about his chickens and how many he had. He said he had about two dozen, which were in a very small area and still I noticed no smell. Some people are concerned about noise. Having lived next to a neighbor with five loud dogs, barking constantly, I can certainly understand how frustrating it is to live next to a noisy neighbor. Seriously though, dogs are way noisier than chickens. As a matter of fact, the wild birds that are very attracted to my yard, with their chirping, singing and squawking, are louder than chickens. The screaming neighborhood kids are way louder than chickens. Petra Hinterschied Westerville See LETTERS, page A8

Levies don’t protect local property values To the editor: Was there ever any doubt that the school board would come back to the residents of Westerville for more taxes? The school board stated, “we can do this all through reductions or by generating more revenue.” I have no doubt that once again, very few meaningful cuts will be made and we will see our property taxes rise. The Westerville school board seems incapable of living within their means and I ask, “why should they?” The residents have passed almost every levy that was put on the ballet. The school board’s defense for more and more money is that they will be unable to find quality teachers and the residents will suffer the consequence by property values declining. As someone who had their home for sale last summer, I never once heard someone say that they understood the high property taxes and the constant levies because they bring in quality teachers. It was the exact opposite. After discovering the high property tax and history of levies, they walked away, confirming that the constant rise in taxes is bringing our property values down. The board really needs to put that excuse to rest. We are surrounded by other communities where teachers have chosen to make concessions and I applaud their decisions. The exact opposite happened in Westerville. I’m unable to get rid of the image of teachers walking in and out of school, refusing to put in an extra minute helping students. In so doing, the children became a bargaining tool. My first thought was one of disgust and I had to wonder why they chose to become a teacher. It was the wrong time and self-serving to demand more compensation. How can giving or receiving a raise be justified when the economy shows no signs of rebounding? I think of the families who have to make a choice between a roof over their head or food for their children. The average worker would appreciate an increase in salary and benefits. Instead, they are paying a larger share of their benefits without a raise. I am unimpressed with Superintendant Good’s attempt to appease voters by relinquishing some of his benefits. Why now? He was aware of the recession and the financial problems associated with the uncontrolled spending of the school board and yet he accepted the salary and the benefits. Is it just me or does anyone else see this as a pathetic move to impress the voters? The time for budgeting has long passed. We are at a crossroad where we can continue the path we’re on or we can send a message to the school board that the taxpayers can no longer afford to bail them out. For those who thought levies were protecting their property values, think again. Every passed levy increases the burden of higher taxes and decreases our homes values. Don’t forget that the library is seeking more taxpayer money also. Marsha Strayer Westerville

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. If you are experiencing problems with your ears or hearing, call ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS today at 614-654-4309. We feature a range of hearing aid packages and the most advanced hearing testing to best serve you and your ears. We are located at 1000 Morrison Rd., Suite H, Gahanna.

Baseball
Pollock to live ‘dream’ playing at OSU By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
After battling injuries and facing eligibility issues his junior season, Kyle Pollock bounced back to have a solid senior year with the Westerville Central High School baseball team this past spring. A catcher, Pollock led the Warhawks with a .505 batting average and 51 RBI. He also hit seven home runs and was named first-team all-OCC-Cardinal Division and first-team all-dis-
trict and all-state in Division I. He shared OCC-Cardinal Player of the Year honors with Olentangy catcher Woody Wallace. The Warhawks finished 24-8 overall and went 10-4 in the OCC-Cardinal to place second behind Olentangy (12-2). Central won a district championship and reached a regional final before losing to Grove City 10-3. Pollock’s play caught the attention of Ohio State coach Greg Beals, and Pollock signed with the Buckeyes on May 6.
“It’s a dream come true,” Pollock said. Pollock played junior varsity his freshman season before joining the varsity as a sophomore. He saw limited playing time his junior season because of back and shoulder injuries. He also faced eligibility issues stemming from his transfer from Barrie, Ontario, before his freshman season. Following a meeting with his family and Central coach Jeff Keifer, the OHSAA determined Pollock was eligible to finish his career with the
Warhawks. “There were some issues on whether he attended a Canadian high school long enough to affect his eligibility here in Ohio,” Keifer said. “It was a three-year ongoing process. Things did not look good a year ago.” Keifer called Pollock’s play this past spring an impressive finish to his prep career given the off-field issues that he encountered. “Just to get him a season to play was a huge step and to have the season he did have, that’s just really in-
credible,” Keifer said. “For him to have an all-state year, all-district year and sign with Ohio State and then for our team to have the success it had, it’s a true success story. Things could not have worked out any better for Kyle.” Beals expects Pollock to be a solid contributor for the Buckeyes. “We’re really excited about Kyle joining our program,” he said. “We’re excited about the athlete, the baseball See POLLOCK, page C2
Commentary
Athletes learn to deal with adversity The achievements of the high school student-athletes writing in my summer series are notable and numerous. They have won state championships in bowling, football, golf, wrestling and track and field. They have achieved great individual and team success. But along the way there LARRY have been defeats and disLARSON appointments. Each of these seniors-to-be explains how he or she has learned to handle adversity. Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “I have a picture of myself after losing to Dublin Coffman in the regional Division I championship game my sophomore year on my bedroom wall. I see it every morning when I wake up. I think it is important to remember what defeat feels like as it creates motivation to improve and the desire and drive to never feel like that again.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Disappointment is the goal that you failed to accomplish. Defeat is when you fail to try again. Never give up.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “To be the best, one must experience defeat. One must know his mistakes and know where he does not want to be again.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “No matter how good you are there will always be disappointments. My advice is to move on and learn from your mistakes because defeat will make you stronger.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I handle defeat and disappointment as fuel to go out and work even harder to be more prepared.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Just tell yourself that you don’t ever want to feel that pain of losing again and that you need to work much harder to be successful.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “Use defeat and disappointment as a means to grow and work harder. Then simply move on and do better next time.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “Don’t let disappointment and defeat get to you because everyone has down days and if you worry a lot about it then things will continue to go down and will do more harm than good.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “Defeat and disappointment are part of any game you play. What is important is that you are gracious in both victory and defeat.” Speaking of being gracious, win or lose, the student-athletes next week will discuss how they view respect and sportsmanship in competition. I’ll see you at a game.

Davidson pitcher Courtney Smith struck out 29 batters and hit the game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning in a 2006 Division I district final.
Top Individual Performances: No. 4
Smith shined in 22-inning game By SCOTT HENNEN
Counting down to No. 1
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Courtney Smith remembers it like it was yesterday, even though it was more than five years ago. The emotion. The excitement. The exhaustion. The strikeouts. The grand slam. Especially the grand slam. In May 2006, Smith, a standout senior pitcher for the Hilliard Davidson High School softball team, went head-tohead with Sarah Phillips of Olentangy Liberty for 22 innings in a Division I district final at Pickerington Central. The three-day marathon wasn’t decided until Smith hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd for a 4-1 victory. Smith also had 29 strikeouts, the 11th highest total in state history for an extra-inning game, according to the Ohio High School Athletic Association. In 2010, Hayley Flynn of Duncan Falls Philo set the state record with 55 strikeouts in 24 innings against Thornville Sheridan. “The biggest thing I remember is this wave of emotion,”
ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 5-10. Check back next week for No. 3 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com. 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers
advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 5135 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the freethrow line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays, the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more surprising performances than what this 5-8 senior guard accomplished in leading the Warriors to a 93-87 overtime upset of second-seeded and stateranked London in the second round of the Division II district tournament. Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 en-
tering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the free-throw line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 2-3, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 15-9 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining.
Smith said. “I was exhausted and excited both at the same time. It was amazing.” It remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game. Liberty and Davidson played seven scoreless innings on May 17, were rained out and
never took the field on May 18 and played 15 innings on May 19. “The first day (the teams) were neck and neck and I don’t think anyone had a hit,” Smith said. “I remember it rained for like three or four hours (on May
17) and there were no lights (at Pickerington Central). “When we got rain the second day (May 18), I was really nervous because we had been playing well before the rain came. We were all really anxious to get out there and didn’t

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

Legion Baseball
Post 239 repeats as District 12 champion By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Worthington Post 239 baseball team turned in a dominating performance in winning its second consecutive American Legion District 12 tournament. Post 239 won three games convincingly, capped by a 16-4 victory in seven innings over Gahanna Post 797G on July 16 at Thomas Worthington High School. Post 239, which improved to 24-9, begins state tournament play Monday, July 25, at Beavers Field in Lancaster. The tournament draw takes place Sunday, July 24. Post 239, which finished 2-2 in last season’s state tournament and 30-6 overall, is seeking its first state championship since 1993. “It will be an eye-opener a little bit when they go down to Lancaster and play,” Post 239 coach Jim Townsend said. “We were there last year and we won two and lost two. It’s good competition. It’s what we’re used to seeing
in the tournaments that we’ve been to during the season. We’re going to have to play our best baseball to win down there.” After receiving a first-round bye, topseeded Post 239 defeated Don Gentile Post 532W (Westland) 11-1 in seven innings on July 13 and Post 797G 9-3 on July 14. Post 797G earned another chance to face Post 239 in the double-elimination tournament by beating Columbus (Hartley) Post 430 8-1 earlier on July 16. Post 797G needed a win against Post 239 to force another game July 17. Instead, Post 239 broke open a close game with four runs in the fourth inning and six in the sixth. Leading 5-4 in the fourth, center fielder Dan Eurich, who is in his first season with Post 239, delivered the big hit — a towering grand slam to left field. “It definitely got all the momentum back,” Eurich said. “They were starting to catch up to us. We got a bunch of guys on base and my hit definitely got 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 threeplus 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.

“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.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

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.
definitely a big help.” Beals said recruiting area athletes is a plus for his program. “It’s something that is important to me to recruit the top talented players in our area,” he said. “That’s the heart of Buckeye nation.

placed at second base with no outs. “We lost a district final that way to Mount Vernon (3-1 in 10 innings in 2002) and I had been pushing to get the rule changed for years,” Forte said. “I had been on both sides of the international tiebreaker, but I think the game is much-improved without it.” Before Smith’s grand slam, it was her right fielder and catcher who combined to make the game’s biggest play 11 innings earlier. Phillips was at second base with two outs in the top of the 11th when Kellie Schultz singled to right field. Phillips hesitated as she rounded third as right fielder Abbey Parsley threw to Heading. There was a collision at the plate, but Heading held on to the ball to end the scoring threat. “Courtney had a great individual performance, but we made some great defensive plays across the board and that (play at the plate) was definitely one of those,” Forte said. “I was talking to Abbey last week and she said that it was one of the most memorable plays she had as a softball player.” Along with her 29 strikeouts, Smith surrendered 14 hits and issued two walks, one in the sixth and one in the 11th. The Wildcats had 16 hits against Phillips. “That game was a duel between Courtney and Sarah Phillips,” Heading said. “Courtney was always one to find ways to get people out. I remember her riseball, screwball and changeup were working. She just found ways to, not necessarily strike them out, but to get people out.” Smith graduated from the University of Indianapolis in 2010 with a marketing degree. She stayed in Indianapolis and works in communications for an economic development firm called Develop Indy. “I was talking to a guy from work last week who was a swimmer in high school,” Smith said. “I told him about it and he thought it was great and really had an appreciation that I had played in a game like that. It definitely was a game that I’ll never forget.”

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.

Parcher’s influence goes well beyond playing field By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Rick Parcher has been an ambassador and teacher of baseball for 50 years. He not only instructs his players on the finer points of the game, but provides “life lessons” by reading poems and stories to help emphasize his points. “There are so many life lessons in baseball,” said the 71year-old Parcher, who coaches Tree of Life Christian School in the spring and the North Columbus Comets in the summer. “A lot of (the lessons) you learn the hard way — learning to deal with victory and defeat, success and failure. You learn how to make your own needs secondary to those of the team. “Those things all come automatically with athletics, but I believe life lessons that are learned are learned more carefully, definitely and effectively if the process is guided by the coach, so I do a lot of talking.” Parcher, who has coached at Tree of Life since 1995, winning four MOCAL championships, helped form the Comets in 1962 during his senior year at the University of Wisconsin. The team’s first home field was at Whetstone Park. The Under-14 travel team now is a member of the Central Ohio Youth Baseball League. The Comets improved to 1812 after going 2-1 in the Dusty Diamonds Classic in Kent on July 16-17. Parcher was recognized for his contributions to the sport during the North Columbus Sports Firecracker Tournament on July 4 at Ridgeview Middle School, which has been the Comets’ home since 1975. Parcher received a plaque for his years of service and a field at Ridgeview was named in his honor. The Comets then honored their coach by winning the U14 division title. “I’ve told the guys they probably won’t realize how fortunate they are until they’re older and maybe some of them play in college,” Comets assistant coach Rick Sibert said. “They’re learning things now that guys typically don’t learn until they get to play college ball. From a baseball perspective, they’re so fortunate to learn these things and how to play the game the right way.” Parcher has fond memories of teams and players throughout the years. The Comets finished 38-6 in 1968, 31-0 in 1972 and 41-3 in 1981. The team has played on the state, regional and national level, competing in national tournaments in Atlanta, Knoxville and Memphis, Tenn., and Manhattan, Kan. The team won three sportsmanship awards in four years at the Knoxville event. “A lot of that has been a lot of fun, but you can’t do that every year,” Parcher said of competing on the national level. “You have to have both the talent and the interest.”
Parcher has coached several players who have enjoyed successful careers in baseball, including Mike Durant, who played in the program in the early 1980s. Durant, a catcher, played at Watterson and Ohio State before playing with the Minnesota Twins in 1996. Parcher recalled that Jeff Smith, who retired as baseball coach at Centennial in 2006, won the Comets’ first sportsmanship award in 1962. Parcher continues to recognize the team’s top sportsman each year. “I’ve coached hundreds of kids,” Parcher said. “The team is a team of talented kids and almost all of them go on to significant careers in high school and college, a few in the pros. As a result of that there have been a lot of memories and a lot of those guys are still around and I get to see them from time to time. That’s great. I really enjoy that.” Tree of Life athletics director Yohana Hill credits Parcher for building the school’s baseball program. “Everyone loves coach Parcher,” she said. “It is amazing. I can go into any baseball environment in Columbus and
someone there will know ‘Parch.’ He has coached fathers, sons and grandsons. He is a talented and knowledgeable baseball coach and has been for decades, but he is an even better individual. “I believe that many would say that baseball is his passion, but even though I know he loves the game immensely, I think mentoring and disciplining young men is truly his passion.” It appears Parcher has no intentions of stepping away from the game. “I’m still enjoying myself. There are some various things that will determine whether I decide to come back. One is whether I feel like the group coming up still wants me to be involved. The other would be my health. I’m in reasonably good health. I have a lot of pain in my joints, so I’m doing a lot of sitting down now,” he said. “Every year is gravy from now on. Anything I get after this point is certainly a blessing. I’ve had a great ride. I really have enjoyed it. All of it has been joyful, even the parts that were difficult.”

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio 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.

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
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.

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.

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? Husbands: Let’s meet at the hardware store. Tickets are $92.50-$32.50. Call 1-800-745-3000.

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

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 ap-
Page C7
petite, 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 conDESALEGN cerns. 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.
