11.92-mill levy looms for Licking Heights

Location for Southwest Lickingboard meetings up in the airBy LISA AURANDThisWeek Community Newspapers

Southwest Licking Board of Education could be-come a traveling group this year.

At the board’s organizational meeting Thursday,Jan. 13, members agreed unanimously to hold reg-ular meetings at 7 p.m. every third Thursday of themonth, but put off deciding on a location for thosemeetings.

After voting in David Engle and Brad Williamsas the board’s 2011 president and vice president,respectively, the board discussed whether rotatingthe board meeting among the district’s buildingsmight draw more meeting attendance and promotecommunity interaction.

“This room, although it’s nice for us personally,I don’t feel it’s very welcoming for people, espe-cially those who have never been to a board meet-ing before,” board member Cindy Zaino said.

Zaino suggested that meetings following the recog-nition of the students of the quarter continue to beheld in the Kindergarten Center gymnasium, while

the other meetings be heldthroughout the other eight dis-trict schools.

“Of course, we’ll have all spe-cial meetings here,” she said.

“We’ve done that before sowe can get out and see the otherplaces,” board member RogerZeune said, approving of thesuggestion.

“I have no problem having none of the regularmeetings in this room,” board member Don Hubersaid.

Engle went a step further, suggesting holding in-formal talks with the public and two board mem-bers before some meetings.

“It’s about making ourselves more accessible andhopefully making the community understand bet-ter what we do,” said Engle, who has been a mem-ber of the school board for 30 years and has servedas president multiple times.

Council workshop

Pataskala,water-sewerdistrict look to keep eachother informedBy MICHAEL J. MAURERThisWeek Community Newspapers

Pataskala City Council and theSouthwest Licking CommunityWater and Sewer District met todiscuss whether they should meetmore often to keep up with waterand sewer and development is-sues.

SLCWSD representativeMelvin Hite said that at one timehe had attended council meetingsregularly, but in 2003 council de-cided that it was no longer neces-sary to do so.

Several council members sincehave expressed concerns that thecity and SLCWSD were not well-informed about each other’s ac-tivities.

“We’ve learned more tonightabout what the district is doingthan I have since the day I got oncouncil in August, combined,”council member Dan Hayes said.“It’s productive for us.”

City administrator Tim Bolandsaid only council could gauge thelevel of detail that it wanted tohave on water-sewer district ac-tivities but that as administratorhe communicated regularly withDon Rector, SLCWSD director.

“It’s going to be a council de-cision about the kind of informa-tion you want and who you wantto provide it,” Boland said. “Aug-menting is a wonderful thing, andDon and I talk on an ongoingbasis.”

Council member Pat Sagar saidthe current practice of receivingminutes was often insufficient be-cause of the summary nature ofminutes that does not give enoughcontext of what was discussed.

Among the more commonproblems both the city and districtface is that, because each of themprovides water and sewer service,residents frequently do not knowwho their service provider is.

Rail-spur funding sought againBy MICHAEL J. MAURERThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Pataskala Corporate Park joint eco-nomic-development district committee heldits first meeting of the year Jan. 12, retain-ing attorney Dennis Schwallie for generallegal assistance and discussing the recentrejection of an application for state fundingto develop a rail spur to the corporate park.

The board, which began formal opera-tions last year, is charged with overseeing

the park JEDD, which is an entity under statelaw that can assess income taxes for the pur-poses of economic development at the af-fected property.

Because Schwallie represents the city ofPataskala in various legal matters, includ-ing the issuance of bonds, and the city is aparty to the JEDD, the issue of potential con-flicts had to be addressed, Schwallie said,even though no actual conflict of interest isknown.

“When a lawyer represents two different

parties, if it appears that there is a conflictthat the parties may have, the lawyer can askthe parties for their consent to the represen-tation of both parties,” Schwallie said. “Butthe lawyer also has an obligation that if theconflict ever becomes a direct, head-to-headconflict, then the lawyer has to withdraw.Even though the board has consented, thisis just making everyone aware that if thereis a direct conflict I would have to withdraw.”

A $6.2-million levy likely will be onthe ballots of Licking Heights residentsin May.

The Licking Heights school board isexpected to vote Jan. 18 to ask voters torenew the existing $4.3-million emer-gency levy with a $1.9-million increase.

District treasurer Jennifer Vanover said

the 11.92-mill levy would cost a total of$395.15 annually per $100,000 of as-sessed property value — an increase of$121. It would replace the 8.9-mill emer-gency levy that expires at the end of 2011and is necessary to keep the district outof deficit spending beyond fiscal year2012, board members have said.

Vanover has estimated it would take17 mills to cover the deficit projected forcoming years. The proposed levy would

tide Licking Heights over in the shortterm, and budget cuts still would needto be made, board members have said.

During the board’s organizational meet-ing Jan. 8, Vanover provided three op-tions for renewal with an increase, andthe board passed resolutions of necessi-ty for all three.

“That way they have a little more flex-ibility” and a little more time to make afinal decision, she said.

The other two levies would have raisedan estimated $5.2-million or $5.7-mil-lion annually, but only the $6.2-millionlevy is on the Jan. 18 agenda, Vanoversaid.

The board’s vote will be on a decla-ration-of-intent resolution — the nextstep in getting the levy placed on the bal-lot.

“It would renew the current level thatwe’re at and add an additional $1.9-mil-lion for a total of $6.2-million annual-ly,” Vanover said.

In previous months, board members

considered other types of levies, includ-ing one that would increase by a fixedamount each year. The board favored thefixed-sum levy because millage and costto taxpayers could decrease over time ifproperty valuations rise.

Whatever the board decides, the dis-trict must file the levy issue with the Lick-ing County Board of Elections by Feb.2 for the measure to appear on the Mayballot.

The board will meet at 7 p.m. at NorthElementary School, 6507 Summit Road.

sion of who supplies my water isso rampant in the city,” Sagar said.“I mean, people really don’t know.But they pay the bills.”

Mayor Steve Butcher said fi-nancial reports also do not con-vey what is often important in-formation.

“If you look at a financial re-port, you see what it is. You seewhat the income is, but you don’tsee what the thinking of the boardis: ‘Hey, this is working; we’regoing to be able to sustain this foranother year or two,’ or ‘Gee, itisn’t working, and we’re proba-bly going to have to raise (rates),’”Butcher said. “They talk to a lotof people and hear from a lot ofpeople, and they’re able to pro-vide that level of information.That’s the part of the communi-cation that I don’t think Don (Rec-tor) is going to give. That’s moreof the representative going back

and saying (what is happening).”Council member Bernie Brush

emphasized his view that it is im-portant that existing customers nothave to subsidize new customers.

“I think the fundamental agree-ment is that any facilities that areconstructed as a part of an addi-tion will be self-supporting facil-ities so that the district customersdon’t have to subsidize the con-struction in (a new area), and like-wise the customers that are gen-erated by that construction willnot have to take on existing debt,”said Bobbi O’Keefe, SLCWSDattorney.

“But it’s chicken and egg,”Brush said. “Do you put the linein first and people come, or doessomeone have to put the moneyup? That’s the dilemma in publicfunding. We’ve got a road out here;it’s great. But if no one comesdown that road, that’s a lot of tax-payer money that has been tiedup.”

The board also discussed therecent failure to receive fundingunder the state of Ohio Trans-portation Review Advisory Coun-cil, which prioritizes major statetransportation projects for fund-ing.

“Unfortunately, the TRAC railspur facility grant applicationsubmitted by the city to fund thecorporate park rail spur was notincluded in the projects to befunded,” said Pataskala city ad-ministrator Tim Boland. “Ourintention is to go forward withthe incoming state administra-tion. If that were to not go for-ward, I would anticipate that infuture years we would try toapply until it was funded or therewas another source of funding.I think we all agree it is of pri-mary importance and would addto the already competitive natureof the corporate park. It wouldbe a tremendous benefit.”

Boland said one of the majorrecommendations of TRAC wasto seek more private sector in-

volvement and more fundingfrom tax incentives.

A JEDD is a legal creation ofOhio law meant to encouragelocal governments to coordinatewith each other to attract busi-ness development. Participantsin the Pataskala JEDD includethe city of Pataskala, LickingCounty, the city of Newark andHarrison Township. The JEDDallows city of Newark incometaxes to apply to the district.

Currently, the park has no de-velopment, but an internal road-way to allow access to the prop-erty is scheduled for completionbefore May 31.www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

2011 is going to be an impor-tant year for the school board,Engle said.

“We’ve got to watch our fi-nances very closely and probablyfigure out some ways to make ourmoney go a little bit further,” hesaid.

The district’s union contractsexpire this year and must be rene-gotiated. The board will be de-veloping goals for the superin-tendent and following through onthe results of the performanceaudit.

“That’s a lot of work to do,”Engle said. “We’ve got to improveour image with the community,and that’s every year, every meet-ing, every day.”

In other business, Williams andZaino were appointed as theboard’s liaisons to the financialadvisory committee and Zaino andHuber were appointed to the com-munications advisory committee.

The board’s first regular meet-ing of 2011 is set for 7 p.m. Jan20 in the Kindergarten Centergymnasium, 927-B South Street.

Committee says adequatecuts at Northridge hard to findBy MICHAEL J. MAURERThisWeek Community Newspapers

The parent and community fi-nance committee for the North-ridge Board of Education metJan.12 to discuss the district budg-et, focusing on the few items apartfrom salary and benefit costs thatoffer an opportunity to savemoney.

The task is a hard one, saidJayma Bammerlin, who led lastfall’s income tax levy campaignand will also work to support thelevy expected for the May ballot.When the district’s longstanding1 percent income tax renewalfailed twice last year, the tax ex-pired Dec. 31. The result is theloss of $1.7-million in revenueannually.

“We are losing $1.7-millionevery year because the levy failed,and we have to come up withmore money for the district,”Bammerlin said. “We have to doit somehow. Either you bringmoney in or you have to cut.

“We’ve already cut almosteverything,” she said. “I thinkwe’re going to hear from theschool board that everything willbe cut next year.”

Among the options discussedat the finance committee meet-ing were changes to transporta-tion routes and means of raisingrevenue, such as business dona-tions or selling district-themedclothing.

“Numbers are not finalized ontransportation,” Bammerlin said.“If we can be more efficient, wecould receive a (funding) bonusfrom the state. The state providesa transportation bonus for threethings: if you provide busing forall grades K through 12, whichwe do, if you bus within two milesof the buildings, which we do,and we get both of those bonus-es. The third bonus is for effi-ciency, the number of studentsper bus, and we do not get thatbonus.”

The committee also exploredrevenue options.

“We talked about donations,about setting up a new fund forpeople to put money into, andmaybe selling Northridge logoapparel and logo items,” Bam-merlin said.

One of the main difficulties inthe process is that there are nolarge cost areas apart from salariesand benefits. Changes to trans-portation are estimated to saveup to $70,000 annually, Bam-

merlin said, well short of the $1.7-million in lost revenue. Ex-tracurricular activities is amongthe biggest dollar items, at ap-proximately $200,000 in districtcosts each year — not includingwhat parents pay and boostersprovide.

An important function of thefinance committee is to reviewsuggested administration budgetcuts and gauge community re-sponse to the changes.

“We looked over the cuts andsort of gave them a blessing, ifyou can call it that,” Bammerlinsaid. “We have to make sure wehave enough money to make pay-roll next year.

“A lot of us are just heartbro-ken, and there just isn’t anythingthat is worth, has a big chunk ofmoney, that could help us,” shesaid. “The biggest number is ex-tracurricular and sports, and that’sonly $200,000. It’s not good forour district, at all.”

Looking to the expected Maylevy, Bammerlin said a levy cam-paign co-chair was expected tobe selected from the student body.

“We are just starting the levycommittee,” Bammerlin said. “I’dlike to try to have a few meetingsto talk to people and try to havea kind of focus group. I’d like tosee what they are thinking andwhat they are saying. We want tofind a way to make sure peopleknow what is being done at thedistrict.”

Prep Notes

Shootingwoes notstoppingAces girlsBy KURTIS ADAMSThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Granville High Schoolgirls basketball team has beenwildly inconsistent with its shoot-ing, and that trend continuedwhen it was held to a season-low point total during a 33-29loss at Worthington Kilbournelast Wednesday.

“It’s the story of our season,”coach Sue Borchers said after-ward.

Still, the Blue Aces remain on track to win a third consec-utive MSL-Ohio Division championship.

Winners of six consecutivegames before being stopped bythe Wolves, a game in whichthey played without leading scor-er Lacie Buckey (knee injury)and backup point guard BrittanyAtkinson (illness), the Blue Aceswere 7-3 overall and 5-1 in theleague entering last Friday’s con-test at Licking Valley. Everyother team in the MSL-Ohio hadat least three losses heading intothe weekend.

“We’re just not playing thatwell offensively for whateverreason,” senior point guardKimberly Seidell said. “Butwe’re getting by, I guess. It’sbeen a combination of a littleluck and us just wanting to winso badly.”

Winning three games — muchless three consecutive league ti-tles — was a stretch for the BlueAces when Seidell and the otherseniors were freshmen. Theywent 5-17 in 2007-08 before fin-ishing 16-5 a year later inBorchers’ first season while shar-ing the MSL-Ohio title withNewark Catholic. Granville went15-6 last season and shared thechampionship with Heath.

“You can see the enthusiasm(winning brings) in all the grades,even at the middle school,” Sei-dell said. “The seniors, we’veworked very hard to get the pro-gram back to a point where win-ning is expected. We’re strug-gling a little bit right now so wejust have to stay focused andkeep pushing ourselves to getback on track.”

Fortunately for the Blue Aces,the MSL-Ohio as a whole has

Watkins Memorial Roundup

Middleweights lead wrestlersBy KURTIS ADAMSThisWeek Community Newspapers

Watkins Memorial High Schoolwrestlers Nick Lancia and Joey Cameronmake for an unusual practice pairing.

Lancia, a sophomore, gives up a dozenpounds when facing Cameron, a juniorwho has an 18-2 record at 152 for theWarriors’ best winning percentage (90percent) entering last Friday and Sat-urday’s Licking Heights Invitational.Lancia, who got into only a handful ofvarsity matches last season, shared theteam lead in victories by posting a 20-6 mark at 140.

“We’re definitely good for each other,”Cameron said. “He’s smaller and quick-er and that makes me work harder. I’mbigger and stronger and that makes himwork harder.”

The strength of this year’s lineup canbe found at the middle and upper-mid-dle weights.

Billy Garcia was 10-6 at 145 and BoGiffin was 20-6 at 160 coming out ofOCC-Capital Division victories overBig Walnut (45-31) and host Delaware(41-36) last Thursday.

The Warriors held a 10-5 advantage

over the Pacers after freshman JohnChism defeated Delaware’s Tyler Mat-tox 16-5 at 135. Watkins increased itslead to 38-5 by the time the next fivematches were completed with MikeStarner pinning Andrew Sierawski at171. Lancia won 17-0 over Toby Cook,Garcia pinned Derrick Sumner, Camerondefeated Raymond Simpson 22-7 andGiffin won by forfeit.

A similar storyline played out in theearlier match against Big Walnut asCameron pinned Braden Hale and Gif-fin pinned C.J. Harness in back-to-backmatches while Starner accepted a for-feit to key a decisive stretch. Starnerpushed his record to 9-4.

“We’re coming on pretty strongthrough the middle of the lineup,” coachEddie Jayne said. “In practice, we tryto mix it up some and give the guys dif-ferent looks.”

The Warriors were 77-24 from 140-171 entering the Licking Heights Invi-tational. Giffin, who missed his sopho-more season following knee surgery, isthe lone senior. He’s remained in thelineup recently despite a rib injury and

Licking Heights Roundup

Defense sparks turnaround for boys squadBy KURTIS ADAMSThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Licking Heights High Schoolboys basketball team turned its sea-son around in part by ratcheting upits defensive play.

The Hornets gave up an averageof 72 points while starting 0-4, al-though that number was skewedsomewhat by a 114-108 triple-over-time loss in the opener Dec. 3 atBexley. They surrendered just 41.6points on average while winningtheir next five games, which in-cluded three MSL-Cardinal Divi-sion victories.

“We’re getting a lot of defensivestops and that’s created more of-fensive possessions for us,” coachNathan Clark said. “We’re reallyfunctioning as a unit defensively.”

Two key contributors have beensophomore Tyron Pack, who usu-ally is assigned to guard the op-posing team’s best perimeter play-er, and 5-foot-10 junior RonnieDawson, who Clark said “is prob-ably the best post defender I’veseen” despite being outsized mostof the time.

“It has been a team effort, though.Nobody we put out there is a de-fensive liability,” Clark said. “We’regoing nine or 10 (players) deepevery night, and we’re wearingteams down when they try to matchour depth.”

Perhaps the best news for theHornets is that they were able to

put together a winning streak de-spite the absence of point guardEyob Tadele. He sat out a 58-42victory over Berne Union on Dec.17 that started the winning streakand also a 68-39 win over FisherCatholic on Dec. 21 because of asprained knee.

Tadele is back to 100 percent,Clark said, but his injury did pres-ent an opportunity to work in an-other strong defensive player insenior Brionne Mitchell, who tookover at point guard.

The emergence of 6-4 sopho-

more post player Darius Strick-land, who gives the Hornets a big-ger lineup and a boost of energycoming off the bench, has beenanother key in the turnaround. Heaveraged 11.4 points during thefive wins and has become one ofthe team’s top rebounders. Strick-land totaled 15 points and 17 re-bounds during a 70-38 victory overWatkins Memorial on Dec. 28,and he had 15 points and 10 re-bounds in a 71-59 win Jan. 7 atBy Laurie Stevenson/ThisWeek

But thePanthers also suffered a 50-40overtime loss Dec. 14 at White-hall, a team Granville had downby more than 25 points beforesettling for a 59-47 victory onJan. 8.

“We’ve got a big week com-ing up with three (league road)games in five days,” saidBorchers, whose team playsTuesday at Lakewood, Thurs-day at Columbus Academy andSaturday at Bexley before De-Sales visits on Jan. 26. “(LastWednesday), playing an OCC

school (in Kilbourne) and anew opponent on our schedule,we’re hoping we’ve learnedsome lessons with what’s aheadfor us.”

•WRESTLING — The chasefor the MSL-Ohio title beginsthis week as most Licking Coun-ty schools open their leagueschedules.

The dual meets that might goa long way in deciding whetheranyone can unseat two-time de-fending champion Licking Val-ley includes Granville’s homematch against the Panthers onJan. 27. Heath, a perennial run-ner-up, will wrestle the Panthersat Lakewood on Feb. 3. Anoth-er key dual that might hold plen-ty of weight in the final stand-ings is Granville’s match at

Heath on Feb. 10. Licking Valley, which hasn’t

lost a MSL-Ohio dual meet innearly three years, is ranked sec-ond behind Olentangy in the lat-est Division II district coachespoll.

•BOYS BASKETBALL —Heath is making a strong bid tobecome the county’s most im-proved team this season. Afterfinishing 11-11 overall a yearago in coach Devin Fulk’s firstseason, the Bulldogs were 8-1and held sole possession of firstplace in the MSL-Ohio at 5-0before playing Granville last Sat-urday. The Blue Aces were 4-1in the league entering that game.

“I’ve never seen a kid go out there hurtingthe way he was at Tri-Valley,” Jayne said. “He’sleading by example.”

The Warriors, who are 3-1 in the OCC-Cap-ital, now have a chance to heal for the stretch run.

Their next match won’t come until the team re-sumes the league schedule on Jan. 27 at MountVernon.

“We’ve got our middle school tournamentcoming up so that’ll keep the guys busy (next)weekend,” Jayne said. “It’s a good time to geta break, really.”

has been another catalyst com-ing off the bench.

“He’s improved a lot,” Tadelesaid of Strickland after a 57-30 win over Lakewood on Dec.30. “He wasn’t in the flow ofthings at the beginning of theseason. He’s just gotten betterand better.”

The Hornets face a daunting

MSL-Cardinal stretch beginningwith Friday’s home game againstHarvest Prep, which has wonthree outright league titles andshared another since 2006-07.Ranked 14th in the Division IVstate poll led by Dayton Jeffer-son Township, the Warriors were6-3 overall and 5-0 in the MSL-Cardinal before playing Millers-port last Saturday. They lost toJefferson Township 50-43 onJan. 7.

“We’ve got Harvest Prep and

Grandview (on the road on Jan.26) back to back,” said Clark,whose team lost at home to theBobcats 48-40 in the leagueopener on Dec. 11. “If we wantto make a run (at the MSL-Car-dinal title) we’ve got to find away to beat those two teams.
