ThisWeek Community Newspapers days planned for spring-break time, they hope, the legislature

The latest bout of winter weather destroyed any chances of students at Licking Heights and Southwest Licking Schools being able to go through the school year without any makeup days.

Southwest Licking’s schools have used from six to nine calamity days each, meaning students will have to make up at least one day of school — even if proposed legislation to bring the number of calamity days back to five is passed.

Southwest Licking school board members recently considered whether to change the school cal-

week if that legislation is approved.

“I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not. I know there are a number of staff that are watching this very closely,” Superintendent Forest Yocum said.

“I don’t like the idea of making anything up during spring break,” board member Cindy Zaino said.

“I worry about how much teaching and learning is going to go on those days. I have a strong feeling that we will go to five calamity days. … I would like to see us move it to the end of the school year.”

Board members opted to put off any vote on the issue until at least

would have made a decision.

Zaino has asked Yocum to develop some different scenarios for ways to make up the missed school days, including adding hours to the end of the school day.

Though that option isn’t allowed under current Ohio law, extending the school day is an option included in the latest bill to return to five calamity days.

Yocum said he has been asking for the option to extend the school day for years.

“I’m sure we would look at that very closely, but we also have to

Districts might get help with canceled snow days

By MICHAEL J. MAURER and BONNIE BUTCHER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Ohio public school districts might get a muchneeded reprieve on snow days.

The Ohio General Assembly is considering a bill to allow schools to have five canceled or calamity days. For the 2010-11 school year, schools are allowed to have three canceled school days, but any school days canceled after that number

must be made up.

House Bill 36 would restore the number of calamity days allowed to each district to five.

Patrick Gallaway, spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Education, said state law requires public school districts to be in session 182 days per year. A district may have up to two professional days for teachers, four half-day early-releases to accommodate parent-teacher conferSee DISTRICTS, page A2

Ice storm a challenge for road crews

Weather led to cancellation of school and city business last week as officials struggled to keep up with icy roads and loss of heat in people’s homes. Overall, however, local street crews were able to keep up with Tuesday and Wednesday ice storms.

“We had two cancellations — the board of zoning appeals on Tuesday and then the planning and zoning commission on Wednesday,” said Pataskala city administrator Tim Boland. “It was weather-related, because of safety of board members and staff.

The meetings will be folded into the next scheduled meetings.”

Boland said the biggest difficulty was cars sliding on what are normally unnoticed, gentle hills that because unmanageable when coated with ice.

“Our street department received a number of compliments,” Boland said. “We found in a lot of areas of town where you have a little more topography, a little more hills; we had to go out a number of times to keep on top of that. It was streets and roads and the utility department as well. As far as I’m concerned, we passed that test with flying colors.”

The storm did not present any

particular emergency issues in Pataskala, Boland said.

And while the storm was critical at the time, the city remains well within its salt and overtime budgets.

“We monitor our salt levels and overtime pretty carefully, but this kind of event is what we plan for,” Boland said. “We have accommodated in our budgets for this and don’t see any problems with our supplies or our overtime.”

Northridge cuts budgets, looks for more savings

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Northridge Board of Education unanimously approved almost $400,000 in budget cuts during the next calendar year, including $93,000 during the remainder of the fiscal year that ends June 30 and $303,000 during the 2012 fiscal year.

In a separate measure, the board also approved two additional contingent scenarios for more cuts, depending on the

amount of state subsidy to the district and the fate of a 1 percent income tax levy on the May ballot.

“We’re here tonight to talk about where we are at as far as the financial future of this district,” said board president Mark Dann. “Now it’s time to proceed with some decisions as to what we are going to do.”

Treasurer Jim Hudson said the district is already working on planned reductions exceeding $500,000 from the current year.

“We are losing $312,000 in our state fiscal stabilization funds money,” Hudson said. “Two years ago ODE gave us that but they took away from our foundation payments. Right now we are advised that money will not be replaced, so overall that’s 6.4 percent of state funding (that is being cut).”

The district’s current budget is approximately $13-million annually, of which nearly $8-million is salaries and benefits. In addition to the one-time grant that offset the state subsidy last year, the

district expects further cuts from the state budget that will be approved this spring.

“We’re looking at 15 percent to 20 percent (cuts in state subsidy amounts),” Hudson said. “We won’t know the actual number until after March and it won’t be official until after July.

“Right now our budget includes a cut of 11.4 percent, which includes the ($312,000),” he said. “Overall, an additional 5 percent cut would be $211,000.

That means more than $500,000 in lost revenue for next year.”

The budget projections also do not include any changes in teacher pay. The union contract is being negotiated now, and under state law the details of such agreements are kept secret until after they are completed.

Superintendent John Shepard did say that the district is considering reducing the school day to state minimums and that this could cause teacher conference periods to be scheduled at the end of the See BUDGET, page A7

DECA program sees highest number of state qualifiers this year

By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Licking Heights High School DECA earned its highest number of state qualifiers ever at the annual district competition Jan. 27 in Zanesville.

Twenty-six members of Licking Heights’business and marketing club qualified for the state competition next month, with 14 first-place and

12 second-place finishes.

“I felt really good about (our performance) because this is the most state qualifiers we’ve ever had,” DECA coordinator Steve Varricchio said.

“In total we brought home 41 trophies, which is every one of the students we brought to the conference.”

The students competed in the event by preparing such projects as advertising campaigns and

developing marketing strategies for case studies presented at the competition itself.

“We had a lot of them doing advertising campaigns where they would work with a particular business in the community and help them develop an advertising campaign to boost business or market share,” Varricchio said. “Others were just doing role-play activities. They were given a case study to look at when they get there and give their

responses to see how they would handle a certain situation.”

Students competed in 18 different events, from hotel and lodging management to professional selling.

Districts letting state address snow days Continued from page A1 ences and three canceled days as the result of bad weather or other calamities. Two-hour delays are not counted against schools, Gallaway said.

Though ODE does not have an official count, Gallaway said, the majority of school districts have used their allotment of three calamity days because of the extreme winter Ohio is enduring.

“Each district is unique, and it would give them the local authority to make that decision,” state Rep. Casey Kozlowski (R-Ashtabula). “The Columbus-knows-best philosophy isn’t what’s always right for these school districts. It gives them that local authority to decide how they would make up a calamity day, whether they want to extend some school, use a holiday or extend the school year. My goal with this bill is for the school districts to have local control and authority.”

The bill would allow a district to make up a calamity day by increasing the school day by half-hour increments, which is allowed under current law but only if the district has had more than eight calamity days.

Connie Wehrkamp, spokesperson for Gov. John Kasich, said the governor is in support of the state mandating the number of days in session and the number of calamity days, but he would support an increase to five calami-

ty days.

Southwest Licking Superintendent Forest Yocum said he supports the bill, but he questions how much impact it would have on education.

“One thing is returning it to five days and the other thing is allowing us to make up the time by extending the school day,” Yocum said. “I guess I support that, but the district calendar is set by the board of education. It’s a no-win situation. Some people think we should make up all the days, and I’m one of them, and other people think we should have at least five calamity days and not worry about it. No matter which way you go, someone is going to be upset.”

Yocum said morning kindergarten had missed nine days thus far this year. Etna and afternoon kindergarten had missed seven days, and all other schools had missed six days.

Licking Heights Superintendent Thomas Tucker said most LH buildings had missed six days.

“We missed eight days for p.m. kindergarten and six days for all of our other schools,” Tucker said. “Two of our days were because of city water-main breaks, not weather related.”

Tucker said other districts in the state have received waivers from makeup days by offering online makeup work, but he said Licking Heights already had makeup days built

CALAMITY Continued from page A1 be very careful of the time we extend the school day because that also affects the extracurricular activities after school,”Yocum said.

All of these considerations are a moot point unless the proposed legislature passes.

“We’re just waiting to see what happens,” Yocum said. “There’s not going to be any news at all until the legislature makes their decision and that’s when … the decision has to be made.”

Licking Heights is at six calamity days for most of its buildings, Superintendent Thomas Tucker said.

“We had two calamity days this week due to the inclement weather,” he said.

Tucker said he believes the district would be happy to return to the former policy of allowing five calamity days.

“We would welcome the reinstatement of two additional calamity days, absolutely,” he said. “But

into its calendar.

“It is interesting (to consider online makeup days),” Tucker said. “But we’re not overly concerned with calamity days. We’ll address those days. We already have two days built into our calendar before spring break that will be makeup days for us.”

Yocum said parents write to every elected official with complaints about schools.

“People write anyone they can think of,” he said. “People will write to the governor because they’re upset that we did dismiss school and they’ll write to the governor because they’re upset we did not dismiss school. You’d be amazed at the letters the governor receives and the letters the Ohio Department of Education receives.”

Yocum questioned whether adding half an hour to the school day has any practical effect.

“Just looking at minutes and nothing else, it makes sense, but if you’re looking at actual education, does it work?”Yocum said. “What are we trying to do, just follow some rules or following what we feel is important educationally?

“If they’re going to do this, allowing us to extend the school day, that would help us make up the days, but is that educationally sound?

What do you do? Change the bell schedule?

Extend each period by three minutes or four minutes?”

any change in our calendar would be necessitated by board approval” Licking Heights also has two makeup days scheduled during spring break: March 28-29. Tucker said the timing of those days is important.

“Students are still heavily engaged in the day-to-day curriculum,” Tucker said. “It really provides an opportunity for our instructional leaders to provide intervention for our students in preparation for the state assessments.”

If the legislature were to change the current policy, Tucker said, the issue would be brought before teachers, administrators, parents and the school board.

“I’d need to have a conversation with my board and the entire school community if we want to just go ahead and keep those (spring break) days,” he said.

“We’re prepared either way. …

It’s a school community decision, and we’re not overly concentrated on calamity days. We’re in the business of teaching kids.”

Continued from page A1 truck fleet to three vehicles last fall to cover 50 miles of township road.

“It was a daunting task, but we stayed ahead of it,” Carlisle said.

“We did a lot of preventive salting starting Tuesday afternoon before the storm came in. Tuesday evening was the worst of it, but we got on top of it by six o’clock.”

The only significant storm incident that Carlisle was aware of was a downed tree, but he said that caused less damage than might have been expected.

“We had a tree come down in Willowbrook (subdivision) and some scattered branches around the township, but we purchased a chipper last year that, as far as I’m concerned, has paid for itself,” Carlisle said. “We’ve been doing a lot of tree-trimming over the summer and fall and I think that helped minimize any damage in the ice storm.”

Although Reynoldsburg’s 46th annual tomato festival is not until August, organizers are already beginning prepartions and are in search of volunteers.

Mary Hudson, president of Reynoldsburg Tomato Festivals Inc., said the first planning meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24, in city council chambers at the municipal building, 7232 E. Main St. Additional meetings will be held on the fourth Thursday of each month up until the festival. She said anyone interested in volunteering is welcome to attend.

“Some of the committees, like the entertainment committee, need to begin planning now so we can line up who will perform at the festival this year,” Hudson said.

“In the past, we’ve had as many 30 show up at the meetings, but we want the public to know that they are welcome and we always need more people because we usually end up using about 150 volunteers,” she said.

Other important committees include the games committee, grounds committee and sponsorship and publicity committees, Hudson said.

Hudson said the 2011 Tomato Festival will take place Aug. 1920 in Huber Park. Organizers hope 5,000 people or more will attend — like last year, even though it rained.

Licking Heights Roundup

Dunlap wrestling well at right time

By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers The wrestling season hasn’t gone as planned for Licking Heights High School senior Josiah Dunlap.

“It’s been rough. It definitely hasn’t been the year I thought it was going to be, at least not yet,” he said. “But I think I’m getting there. I’ll be 100 percent going to the (Division II) sectional (meet on Feb. 19 at home).”

Dunlap, a state qualifier a year ago, has battled both injuries and illness as

he tries to work his way back to Ohio State, where he won one consolation match last March to finish with a 28-13 record.

He missed time in December, including the Licking County Invitational for a second consecutive season, because of a foot injury and then a concussion. He also felt sick the night before the Robin Drumm Classic and was held out of the lineup on Jan. 22 at Heath.

Still, Dunlap was 9-3 at 135 pounds before the Hornets wrestled in the Hilliard Darby Duals on Feb. 5. He won

all seven of his matches last month and took first place in his weight class during the Licking Heights Invitational on Jan. 14-15. There, Dunlap pinned his first three opponents before stopping Bexley’s Chuck Sismanturk 19-3 in the final. He won his other three January matches by fall.

“It’s been a weird year, but his lack of matches doesn’t really worry me,” coach Bo Ramsey said. “He practices the way he wrestles. He’s just non-stop.

He’s staying in shape wrestling (teammates) Jason (Maynard), Kevin Yeager

and Zak Scott and that gives him quality time in our practices. As long as his motor can run he’s going to win matches.”

There might even be an upside to Dunlap’s earlier misfortunes.

“I want to say he’s taken less wear and tear,” Ramsey said. “That’s an optimistic way of looking at it, anyway, but he might be a little fresher here at the end than some of the guys he’ll be wrestling.”

Dunlap did get three matches at the Medina Invitational Tournament on Dec.

28-29 and posted a 1-2 mark at 140. He said he will compete at 135 in the postseason and is ranked 12th at that weight in Brian Brakeman’s High School Wrestling Forecast. Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit’s Nate Skonieczny, a twotime state placer and a runner-up as a freshman two years ago, is the projected champion.

Dunlap’s top competition for a sectional title likely will come from Canal Winchester’s Joe Boswell, who is ranked See HORNETS, page A6

Prep Notes

Aces enjoying swim season

By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Granville High School boys and girls swimming teams are riding a wave of success entering the Division II sectional meet at Columbus Academy on Saturday, Feb. 12.

They’ll be returning to the pool where the girls recently set seven meet records as the Blue Aces swept the MSL championships.

The 400-yard freestyle relay team even broke the pool record at Academy by finishing in 3 minutes, 44.11 seconds. That eclipsed a mark that had stood since 1995.

“I told the girls that record’s been there since I was swimming (for Pickerington before the district split a few years later),” coach Kevin Yates said. “It’s really nice going to a rival school and seeing your name on their board, and hopefully we’ll be able to add a few more.”

Granville’s boys team defended its MSL title by outscoring the runner-up Vikings 269-215 as Grandview finished third with 155 points on Jan. 29.

Needless to say, the Blue Aces have high hopes for the postseason. The boys team’s depth carried it at the MSL meet.

The only wins came from James Datz in the 100 free (49.63), Thomas Barrett in the 500 free (5:13.77) and the 200 free relay team (1:34.14).

“We expect to send a lot of kids from both teams to state,” Yates said. “And our girls, well, we think they can compete for the district (team) title (Feb. 1920 at Ohio State) and maybe get into the top five at the state meet.

That’s a lofty goal, but that’s where we’re at right now.”

•WRESTLING — According to Brian Brakeman’s High School Wrestling Forecast, Licking County will need to pin down a few postseason upsets if it is going to match last year’s 15 state qualifiers.

10th by Brakeman. Others who might stand in Dunlap’s way at the Columbus East district meet include 11th-ranked Shawn McGhee of Steubenville, 15thranked Anthony Fosco of Olentangy and 17th-ranked Drew Jolley of Millersburg West Holmes.

Boswell and McGhee both advanced to state a year ago, although neither placed. Moreover, 21st-ranked Joey Patterson of Dresden Tri-Valley and 24thranked Seth Stalder of Athens also could prove problematic at East for Dunlap, who was a district runner-up last season.

“There is some good journeyman talent at (East),” Brakeman wrote. “ ... I think Jolley and Fosco both could qualify (for state), especially if Dunlap is not at 100 percent.”

Dunlap said he is working on his weaknesses and that his ranking in Brakeman’s report is providing added motivation.

The five-member senior class also includes guards Randi Casto and Kim Zellers, forward Logan Visnick and post player Mallory Warrington, who opted not to play as a junior. Warrington is averaging 5.8 points and 8.6 rebounds.

“Mallory has been a huge asset coming back to play for us this year,” Oyster said. “I think she really missed it and playing with the four other seniors. We struggled with rebounding last year and she’s come back and given us a big lift on the boards.”

Coyle’s return from her latest injury also has bolstered the lineup. She struggled with a knee problem last season and her career has been beset by other injuries, including a painful hip flexor. Now, she’s planning to become a physical therapist.

BUDGET Continued from page A1 school day, but he said that change would not have a direct fiscal impact.

Among the savings that would make up the $400,000 in actual scheduled cuts are approximately $100,000 in textbook purchases and $70,000 in transportation costs. A full-time music teacher position is also scheduled to be eliminated.

Hudson said the district would

also benefit financially from some teacher retirements by either not filling the position or by filling the position with a beginning teacher who would receive lower pay under the district step chart.

A group of parent and community volunteers is expected to hold the first of several meetings to organize community support for the May income tax levy. The first meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10, in the high school media center.

Continued from page A1 certainly what experience they might have,� he said.

Varricchio said he was particularly proud of his sophomore students, who had only one semester’s worth of training.

Those who earned first- and second-place awards will compete at the DECA state competition March 18 and 19 at the Columbus Hyatt Regency. For the past four years, Licking Heights has had students qualify for the International Career Development Conference, which will be held in Orlando, Fla., in April, and the Licking Heights DECA members hope to continue that streak, Varricchio said. “Our team did very well, and we’re looking forward to the state conference in March,� he said.

First-place finishers were Kristin Abarra, Farhiya Abdi, Tenny Adebayo, Alyssa Antauer, Cassidy Cochrum, Jordan Dewhurst, Sara Goff, Dalton Golden, Hope Gunn, Katie Kenny, Alisa Malone, Gabrielle Palombaro, Marqus Smith and Vlade Necovski.

Second-place finishers were Amber Alvarez, Sebrina Herndon, Cherise Hood, Elena Kasapovska, Mallory Masoni, DaNisha Mitchell, Drew Selitto, Kailee Stevens, Jovana Vladicic and Maddy Zarley. The names of two other second-place finishers were not readily available.
