Permanent improvements
O’Reilly lists planned 2011 projects By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Superintendent Ed O’Reilly presented the Grandview Heights Board of Education Jan. 22 with a list of anticipated permanent improvement projects for the coming year. He also provided an outline for a fourphase project to upgrade the district’s computer network infrastructure. O’Reilly gave his report at the board’s annual work session. Four facilities projects will be proposed to the board over the next several months, he said. The high school gym roof has sever-
al leaks and will need to be replaced, O’Reilly said. Although cost estimates are not yet available, the approximate cost of this project would Ed O’Reilly be $90,000. No other roofs need to be replaced, but several areas are in need of repair, he said. This work would be completed once the weather improves and would cost approximately $10,000. The district is also planning to create secure entrances for each school building, O’Reilly said.
He said he and board member Grant Douglass met earlier this month with local architects to explore ideas for increasing security at the main entrance of each building. An approximate cost of this project has not been determined yet, O’Reilly said. A rekeying project at Edison Intermediate/Middle School may become a two-year process depending on the costs associated with the secure entrance project, he said. Electronic card readers would be installed this year at Edison’s main entrances, O’Reilly said. The main entrances would be rekeyed so they match
other district keys. The total cost for the first phase of the Edison work would be approximately $15,000. The second phase of the project would involve standardizing all locks in the school to enhance security and safety. A list of potential permanent improvement projects for the next two fiscal years will be compiled prior to Aug. 1, O’Reilly said. A minimum of a 10year plan will be developed before the end of the year. The proposed network infrastructure upgrade would begin in the spring and cost an estimated $290,000, he said. More than half of the cost would come
in the first phase, which would involve replacing wired switches and adding redundant power to network closets. The project would continue through the summer of 2012, O’Reilly said. Along with enhancing the district’s network, the upgrades would provide more control over what is blocked or allowed on the Internet and would allow students and staff to use any personal equipment at school, he said. The permanent improvement levy voters approved in November is beginning to generate revenue, O’Reilly said. Between now and August, the district See PROJECTS, page A3
District all-day kindergarten to continue, even if state law changes By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Watershed Distillery founder Greg Lehman became interested in the idea of producing craft alcohol while playing volleyball professionally in Switzerland, where the town’s economy thrived on small-scale local production. The distillery began selling its gin and vodka in December and is aging barrels of bourbon that will be ready for consumption in 2013.

Kindergarten registration packets for the 2011-12 school year will be available beginning Monday at the Grandview Heights Board of Education office. But uncertainty about potential changes in state law, along with anticipated cuts in state funding for education, make it difficult for the district to provide parents with specifics about next year’s kindergarten program, Superintendent Ed O’Reilly said. Although no formal vote was taken, the school board discussed and reached consensus at its work session Jan. 22 that the district will offer all-day kindergarten in some form next year, he said. Under current state law, districts will be required next school year to offer tuition-free all-day kindergarten classes. Gov. John Kasich has suggested repealing the current state model for school funding, which includes the all-day kindergarten requirement. Last week, Rep. Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green) introduced House Bill 30, which, among its provisions, would eliminate the mandate that districts offer all-day kindergarten. “I think there’s a good possibility that law will end up passing,” O’Reilly said.
A closer look Gov. John Kasich has suggested repealing the current state model for school funding, which includes the all-day kindergarten requirement.
Even if it does, Grandview is committed to offering its families an all-day program, he said. The $290 monthly fee the district charges for all-day kindergarten in essence pays for the second half of the all-day kindergarten teachers’ salaries, O’Reilly said. If the district lost that fee money, it would mean the addition of two full-time teaching positions to the budget, he said. This year 66 students are enrolled in all-day kindergarten and 27 students attend a half-day class. As long as districts are allowed to charge a tuition, Grandview would continue charging families for the all-day class, O’Reilly said. If the current law remains, the district would continue offer a halfday kindergarten option to parents. At least 10 students would need to be enrolled to support a half-day class. If the minimum is not met, the students would be placed in an See KINDERGARTEN, page A3
LPs making a comeback in Grandview Library’s collection By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Vinyl records are back at the Grandview Heights Public Library. Last Friday, the library began offering a small collection of 30 LP record titles available for checkout. “We’re always ready to try out new things, and when we saw the overall numbers coming out about the renewed popularity of LP records, we thought we’d try it out on a very small scale and see how it goes,” said Canaan Faulkner, the library’s coordinator of adult programs and web content. U.S. vinyl sales rose 14 percent in 2010 while CD sales were down 20 percent for the fourth consecutive year, he said.
“I think a lot of younger people Records, he said. are beginning to find vinyl LPs “We really appreciate the asWhen you watch cool and they’re buying turntables,” sistance from those record stores,” David Letterman and Faulkner said. “At the same time, Faulkner said. “Our budget for he holds up an LP older people are bringing out their this is really minuscule.” records again.

The vinyl record circulated as well as the CD, he said. Until about 20 years ago, the library circulated thousands of vinyl LPs, Faulkner said. “It was the format of choice” until cassettes and then compact discs began to dominate and appeared to make LPs obsolete. “It’s nice to see people able to have the experience of using LP records again,” Faulkner said. To search the library’s LP collection, patrons should enter “vinyl LP” as a keyword search in the library’s catalog. LPs check out for two weeks and are renewable. Patrons can check out three records at a time and place five holds at a time. LPs must be returned to the circulation desk and cannot be returned in the book drop.

Sneak Peek will offer a ‘before’ look at Decorators’ Show House in UA By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Decorators’ Show House isn’t new to Upper Arlington, but this year’s plan for a “Sneak Peek” of the home is brand-new. The Sneak Peek, a fundraiser for the Columbus Museum of Art, will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Jan. 28-30, at a Spanish revival style home at 4125 Oxford Drive, just east of Riverside Drive. Admission is $5. Visitors attending the Sneak Peek will get a chance to see the home’s 18 interior and four exterior spaces before it is transformed by local designers for the 2011 Decorators’ Show House, held April 30-May 22. “The Sneak Peek is a new venture for us,” said DSH co-chair Robin Comfort. “Indianapolis and other show houses around the country do a similar thing. We thought it’s really a nice idea because everyone likes to see the room before the designers get hold of it.” This year’s home was built in 1928 and sits on almost two acres. Among the people who have lived in the home were a cartoonist and a Kentucky Fried Chicken vice president, and its visitors included Dave Thomas and James A. Rhodes. “The (chairs) look for a house that has history and is architec-

turally interesting,” said Pat Hayden, president of the CMA’s Women’s Board. “If you’re dealing with a newer house, you might not get the architectural detail, but you get the room size. They look for a place that people will enjoy coming to, that there will be a story to tell, where there will be grounds that tend to be landscaped and where the interiors lend themselves to the designers coming in and doing what they do best.” Preparations for the DSH began last spring, Hayden said. Comfort was driving around and saw the home, which was for sale. She

contacted the realtor, and since the updates made by the decorators tend to add value to the home, the present owners were thrilled to be part of the Show House,
Comfort said. A lottery for designers was held, with each designer choosing a room to redo. They’ll show design boards of their plans for the space to the owners. “It’s like a blank slate or an empty creative palette that they’re working with,” Comfort said. In return for donating their time, talent and materials, the designers get potential new clients after visitors see their room transformations. “This is just an amazing thing, because people come and they want to know what they can do for their home,” Comfort. “Their creativity triggers something in a lot of people, and they can take it home and replicate it.” Hayden said the museum started doing the biennial Decorator’s Show Houses in 1975. The 18 prior DSH events have raised more than $3-million for the museum. gbudzak@thisweeknews.com

Trinity Catholic School to host DISTILLERY strategic planning session Continued from page A1
By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Trinity Catholic School will hold a strategic planning meeting from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 5, in the school cafeteria. The meeting will give parents and community members an opportunity to give their input as the school develops a five-year strategic plan, principal Jeffrey Grimmett said. A steering committee will incorporate the input into a final plan, which will include a set of goals and strategies for the school, he said. “We want to determine where we want to be as a school and how we can get there,” Grimmett said. One of the overall goals is to increase the awareness and marketability of Trinity in the community to help drive enrollment, he said. “There are probably a lot of people in the community who don’t know about us,” Grimmett said. Trinity held an open house for new families on Jan. 23, he said. Participants in the Feb. 5 meeting will be asked to review data and give their input on topics relating to three areas of concentration, Grimmett said. Those areas are community and parish, Catholic identification and academics and fi-
nancial sustainability, he said. A registration form for the strategic planning meeting was sent to Trinity parents earlier this month, Grimmett said. The form is also available on the school website, www.trinity.cdeducation.org. Forms should be filled out and returned to the school by Friday. All Trinity parents, alumni and parishioners are encouraged to attend the meeting, Grimmett said. Anyone unable to attend the Feb. 5 meeting is encouraged to contact the school to offer their input, he said. “We really want to get people’s input, because we’re talking about the future of our school and how we can best serve our students and the community,” Grimmett said. “It’s an important process.” Trinity is one of a number of schools participating in the diocese-wide school strategic planning process, he said. Trinity’s strategic plan is expected to be completed by the end of March and could be the start of an ongoing process, Grimmett said. “We’ll have a plan that we can put into action for the next five years then look at it again and see where we should go from there,” he said. www.ThisWeekNews.com

MAKE IT A MOVIE NIGHT WITH WOW! ON DEMAND!
What A Movie!
Moment in Time Ninety years ago, before Twitter, Facebook and email, handbills like the one shown here were an effective way to mass market and inform citizens in Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff of activities in the area. This particular handbill was to promote the 1922 Grandview High School senior class play that was performed in the auditorium, which at the time existed in the east wing of what is now the Edison Intermediate Middle School. It was printed in the high school on thin inexpensive paper. Other handbills in the Historical Society archives include announcements for GHHS sporting events, numerous other plays, dance recitals, student concerts and local political campaigns.

As it were
Growing community finds all levels of entertainment There are many ways to learn about a place and its past. I have always had the strong suspicion that how people entertain themselves can tell us a lot about who they were and what was important to them. With that as both an explainer and probably a bit of a warning, let’s take a look at how Columbus amused itself in its first few decades. Isolated from the East and South from where most of its early residents ED arrived, it appears that the LENTZ small frontier community of Columbus pretty much entertained itself in the first few years after it was founded in 1812. Carving a village out of a forest was not all that easy and the added diversion of the War of 1812 meant that most people did not have much leisure time. The time they did have was often occupied with family and visits to close friends nearby. After the Ohio General Assembly began to meet in Columbus in 1816, there was a decided increase in the number of taverns in town and in the number of people frequenting them — much to the chagrin of local ministers and the temperance advocates in their congregations. To understand early public entertainment in Columbus, it is important to remember that, then as now, there were several different “arts communities” in the capital city. Some of the early residents were quite well-educated and sorely missed the music, drama and literary world they had left behind. Several of these people formed what later came to be called “the first musical organization in Columbus.” The Handel Society apparently performed for the assembled multitude on the occasion of Independence Day in 1821 and 1822, and according to an account, performed with “a superior degree of elegance.” How the singing of Handel’s work went over with the frontier folk who had never heard of him or his music was probably summed up with, “Handel was handled quite well” or something similar. For the rest of the people of Columbus, there were military organizations with their fifes and drums and the occasional entertainment of an itinerant musician. But there was not much else — until 1827. On April 21, 1827, Tippo Sultan, the Great Hunting Elephant, came to town. Tippo was accompanied, according to a local poster, by “The Mammoth Lion, Tiger, Cat, Lynx, Shetland Pony, Dandy Jack, etc. etc. The above named animals will be seen at Mr. Russell’s tavern, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 27th, 28th and 29th inst. The exhibition will be accompanied by good music. Admittance 25 cents — children under 12 years of age half price.” Presumably, Mr. Russell felt his tavern would benefit by the arrival of Tippo and his friends. It did not work out quite that way, as a local history recalls:

(614) 488-5211 1296 Dublin Road, Columbus, Ohio 43215 www.favret.com OH LIC. #17143 Columbus Metropolitan Library
The World Museum (c. 1890) offered its best to the visitor for only one thin dime.
“At night, the ‘hunting elephant’ was locked up in the tavern backyard where, during one of the nights of his sojourn, he broke loose, and for a time amused himself by pumping water at the well. Finally he broke the pump handle and looking around for some new pastime, spied two barrels of flour standing on the back porch. Breaking into these, he, for a while, ate flour and drank water alternately until he converted the residue of the flour into paste. “Awakened by the noise, Mr. Russell descended and was received by the elephant with a fusillade of dough. Beating a retreat, the discomfited host aroused the keeper of the frolicsome beast, who, after some effort, succeeded in getting him tied again.” As a counterpoint to the arrival of Tippo Sultan and his friends, the more elevated culture group in town welcomed a “Mr. and Mrs. Harper” who, with a few friends and associates , were happy to perform Oliver Goldsmith’s classic play, “She Stoops to Conquer” for any who cared to see it. Apparently, a number of people did, since the play was performed in the only place big enough to hold them — the public market building at State and High streets. The clash between “high culture” and, shall we say, “not-sohigh culture” continued apace. In 1833, one Rufus Beach organized the Franklin Harmonic Society, looking to improve “the vocal and instrumental music” of the city. Shortly thereafter, S. Butler and Company came to Columbus with
a menagerie that included “the great hunting or war elephant, Hannibal.” By 1835, Columbus had seen the arrival of the Ohio Canal and the National Road and had become a city of more than 5,000 people. The rapid growth in size and influence of Columbus evidently convinced enough investors to permit the construction of the first real theatre in the city. Built of wood, the Columbus Theatre stood on the west side of High Street just a few hundred feet north of Long Street, where the Brunson Building is today. Over the next several years, the theatre saw performances of classic plays, including Shakespeare and such titles as “St. George and the Dragon,” “Mazeppa” and “The Cataract of the Ganges.” For the less refined, the Columbus Theatre was also the home of Miss Honey, a “danseuse.” In later years, it was noted that “towards the end of 1841, the Columbus Theatre seems to have degenerated both financially and morally, and its evil influence upon the young people of the city, resulting particularly from its ‘bar’ for the sale of intoxicants, was loudly complained of.” The clash of culture between “legitimate” and not-so-legitimate entertainment would continue for much of the rest of the history of the city — and for that matter, down to our own time as well. Tippo Sultan would likely be amused. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

In brief Zoo mourns 46-year-old gorilla Lulu, a 46-year-old western lowland gorilla, died unexpectedly at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium this week. The gorilla, who suffered from arthritis, had a seizure on Jan. 22, a news release from the zoo said. “The frequency and severity of the seizures progressed and on Monday, Jan. 24, while being sedated in preparation for an MRI she stopped breathing and could not be resuscitated,” the release said. An autopsy is being performed. Lulu was born in Africa and
at age 2 was brought to the Central Park Zoo in 1966. In 1984, Lulu came to the Columbus zoo, where she had three babies. Lulu was also a member of the zoo’s gorilla surrogacy program and mothered two infants. “When she came to the Columbus Zoo our first impression of Lulu was she was one tough lady,” animal care and conservation vice president Dusty Lombardi said in the release, “but it wasn’t long before she showed us her sweet maternal side. She was also fun-loving and enjoyed playing hide and seek with her keepers.” Zoo staff invite the public to share memories of Lulu on the Columbus Zoo Facebook page.

But there is also the battle of the marching bands. “It’s part of the atmosphere of the school and the football games,” explained Reggie Brayon, who is company manager for Drumline Live, a stage production that brings some of that pageantry to a concert hall experience. “People are there as much to see the band and to be a part of it — and not only at halftime.” “There’s a competition, once you’re
It makes for an intersection of music and other aspects of society, something perhaps not unique to the HBCU experience, but amplified. “The marching bands are so integral to those institutions, the historically black colleges and universities, where in many places that’s the branding of the school, what it’s known for,” Brayon said.

Simply put, “it’s a marching band doing what marching bands do,” Brayon said. “We want people to feel like they’re in the stands.” Of course, they’re in a theater, so some allowances had to be made. Rather than a 200-piece band, the cast is comprised of 37 performers, most of whom play multiple instruments and some of whom also sing and/or dance. However, Drumline Live brings the show into the aisles at various points, and concludes with a New Orleans-style parade.

New Salvi’s Bistro serves popular old favorites If you’re a fan of well-made Italian-American comfort food served in absurdly generous portions and sold at very fair prices, then you might know about Salvi’s. Better than any national chain in the same hospitality game, the locally grown Salvi’s has been pleasing Columbusites in different guises for more than four decades. Once dotting the city with popular eateries, Salvi’s legacy was down to its last outpost in Hilliard until recently. Open since early November, the latest Salvi’s venture replaces a Dublin space formerly occupied by an upscale steakhouse chain called Stony Ridge. This new Salvi’s is a casually handsome place in a predominantly polished dark-brown wood, lodge-like fashion. Open and roomy, it includes a duskily lit and comfy bar in its handful of dining areas. It’s fre-

Taco vendor settles into permanent location on Northwest Side Carlos Nonato is part of the vibrant taco-truck culture on the West Side. The business, understandably, is weather dependent. And, naturally, the elements take their toll on even the sturdiest of operators, he said. “Outside is hard – the cold, rain,” he said. And while he’s not trading in his mobile stand on Sullivant Avenue, Nonato has opened a permanent restaurant, Taqueria Los Gauchos, at 5221 Godown Road on the Northwest Side. The laidback eatery offers counter-order service. Alcohol is not sold. The main attraction is the al pastor – thinly sliced pork piled on a skewer and cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The pork is sliced and quickly grilled. In
the Mexican tradition, it is placed on a corn tortilla (flour is another option) with cilantro and chopped onion. There are other taco fillings, as well as other entrée choices, such as burritos, quesadillas, fajitas and such. Of course, house-made salsa is served on the side. Nonato said he doesn’t hold back the heat with his signature choice, made of habanero peppers. Even the next level, salsa rojo, is spicy, while the guacamole is mild. Taqueria Los Gauchos (pronounced wah-chos), is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-538-0211.

Patrons attend the opening day of Taqueria Los Gauchos, 5221 Godown Road, on Jan. 20. The restaurant focuses on inexpensive Mexican fare, including tacos, burritos, tortas and quesadillas.
Dough slinger Patrick Miller has taken over the Flying Pizza on Bethel Road. The restaurant, which has been closed for several weeks, will reopen tomorrow after a renovation project. Known as “Pizza Patt” in the pie-tossing community, Miller said the recipe is the same but the topping options have expanded to include bacon, ham, pineapple, jalapenos and such, plus the addition of white-sauce pizzas. Miller bought the Flying Pizza on OSU campus two years ago from Joe Graci, who retired. Graci’s son, Sal, ran the Bethel Center location until the recent sale. Frank Graci, a relative and owner of the original store in Dayton, is Miller’s partner in the Bethel store. Miller said he made the quarter finals in the trickpizza-tossing competition on America’s Got Talent and participates at annual conventions in Las Vegas and Italy. Flying Pizza is known for its thin- and thickcrust pies and by-the-slice options. The lunch special, two slices of cheese and a 16-ounce pop for $5 ($5.50 for pepperoni), remains. Miller said he has resisted the urge to put more than pizza on the menu. “We do one thing and do it right,” he said. For more information, call 614-457-2323. Craig Barnum is no longer part of Historic Dublin Restaurants but still has a restaurant in Historic Dublin. The partnership of Barnum, Mike Tibbetts and Jack Eggpuehler launched a trio of restaurants — Oscar’s, Tucci’s and Brazenhead — in Dublin’s town center. Barnum called the split amicable. “I think everyone realized it was time to move on,” said Barnum, who still owns Tucci’s under CLB Restaurants. Gift cards purchased before the
split will be honored by each restaurant, he said. The arrangement started in 1995, when Oscar’s opened. It was followed by Tucci’s and Brazenhead three years later. Since then, all three partners expanded the Brazenhead concept and tried their hands with different restaurants. Barnum and Tibbetts opened a steakhouse in the Polaris area that has since closed. Tibbetts also opened Cabo Cocina and Barnum founded Matt the Miller’s in Dublin. Another is set to open this spring on Grandview Avenue. Meanwhile, Eggspuehler branched out with the Adena’s and Buck Mulligan’s, both of which are no longer in business. “Really the last couple years, everyone naturally had different goals and desires and so forth,” Barnum said. “We did a lot of great things together,” Tibbetts added. “I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything but I understand people take different directions.”

Jaskot’s future bright with UA In 16-plus years writing for ThisWeek, I rarely have interviewed and written about a high school freshman athlete. Only occasionally does a young athlete splash onto the central Ohio sports scene as a swimmer, ferociously knock around a tennis ball or, as Upper Arlington ninth-grader LARRY Rebecca LARSON Jaskot has done, capture the attention of the gymnastics followers throughout our area. Entering the latter stages of January, Jaskot had one of the highest scores locally on the uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise and in all-around competition.

meanwhile, are left to wonder whether rules changes, which seemingly would bump them into larger divisions, are fair. There are many reasons for the disproportionate number of titles won by private schools, but the primary one is that some of those schools can assemble virtual all-star teams from five- and six-county areas. With that in mind, it does seem reasonable for the OHSAA to visit the issue of boundaries when determining the divisions for private schools, and some large public schools.
The biggest problem I have is with the “tradition factor” that would increase a school’s “athletic count.” The OHSAA says this aspect would be determined by “state championship game appearances, state tournament appearances and regional finals appearances.” The implication of this sounds more like a step toward eventually giving participation medals to everyone as opposed to rewarding the best of the best.

only would hurt the spirit of competition that should exist when determining the state’s best. Is there an obvious solution to the issue? Not exactly, but it doesn’t seem like radical change is necessary. Tradition should be kept out of the equation. Teams like DeSales and Watterson have earned their success by creating programs that teach winning football. This shouldn’t be penalized, but emulated by other programs. Keeping in mind the boundary issues, the OHSAA should choose to tweak, rather than revamp, the way it determines its tournament divisions. Let the rest of the arguments be settled on the field.
likely would have been in Division II instead of Division III. Schools that could end up getting hurt unintentionally by a change are the Division I public schools. A perennial central Ohio football power such as Hilliard Davidson not only has to overcome fellow area public-school powers such as Pickerington Central and Dublin Coffman, but a team such as Cincinnati St. Xavier, which has 1,171 boys, could be looming later in the playoffs. The new formula potentially also would move state powers such as Mentor Lake Catholic and Toledo Central Catholic into Division I, making a tough field even tougher.

Sinus infections in children Frequent sinus infections in children are a common problem, especially for children in daycare settings. The average child can have six to ten upper respiratory tract infections a year that have symptoms including nasal discharge and blockage. Other factors that contribute to frequent sinus infections are environmental allergies, exposure to second-hand smoke, immunodeficiency, congenital craniofacial anomalies and some inherited conditions. Children with lung problems such as asthma and cystic fibrosis often have related sinus problems. Most viral infections will resolve without treatment. A small percentage will progress to bacterial sinusitis that will require antibiotics for treatment. Narrowing or blockage of the nasal passages or sinus openings may increase the chances that a cold will progress to bacterial sinusitis. Often, children may need medication to help treat sinus problems. This could include nasal steroids, nasal saline, mucousthinning medications called mucolytics, and some allergy medications such as anti-histamines. In a small percentage of children, surgery may be necessary to relieve the blockage and open the sinuses or nasal passages. Prior to any surgery, a thorough
work-up is necessary in order to determine the appropriate treatment course. Younger chilCHARLES dren do not ELMARAGHY typically need surgery on the sinuses as their sinuses are still developing. Younger children with frequent sinus infections often have their adenoid, a patch of tissue located where the nose and throat join, removed. The adenoid can be a haven for bacteria and can often block the nasal passages. Removing the adenoid is a simple and painless surgery that can be very effective. When the sinus problem is more involved than an enlarged adenoid, the sinuses need to be imaged via a special X-ray called a CT scan to investigate the anatomy of the sinuses and determine if the openings of the sinuses are blocked. If sinus open-
ings are blocked, they can be enlarged using special instruments and a small camera called an endoscope. This is called endoscopic sinus surgery. The natural openings are widened and preservation of normal anatomy is the goal. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Rhinology Clinic is unique in that it offers allergy testing and endoscopic evaluation during the same visit. This allows both the allergist and otolaryngologist to determine an appropriate treatment plan. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider prior to starting or stopping any treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Dr. Charles Elmaraghy is a member of the Department of Otolaryngology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of clinical otolaryngology at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
