Budget cuts topic of special meeting By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
of the district’s 1 percent income tax, first denying a permanent renewal in May, then a five-year renewal in November. Earlier this month the board approved placing the five-year renewal on the May ballot, but the income tax expired Dec. 31, and cuts must be made to fill the funding gap. Treasurer Jim Hudson has made clear that this expiration means the district has lost $1.7-million that cannot be recovered.
The Northridge Local School District Board of Education has scheduled a rare end-of-the-month meeting for Monday, Jan. 31, to discuss three budget cut scenarios. The cuts are being proposed to trim staff in anticipation of a May income tax levy and expected cuts in state funding. Voters twice last year rejected renewals
“We have three different scenarios to implement,” Hudson said. “We are going to have to compensate for the $1.7-million that we lost. We’re going to try to make that up through budget reductions. Then we have scenarios if (the levy) passes and if it fails, and if the state exceeds a 20 percent threshold (in cuts in state funding).” In the worst case, the district would have to begin cutting into staff to the point that it would approach operating
at state minimum requirements, rather than the broader service that most families expect, Hudson said. “There is not a lot of fluff in the district,” Hudson said. “When I worked for the state auditor’s office, that’s what I did, was performance audits. I could go into a number of districts and identify reductions that could tally a million dollars or two million dollars,” he said. “Here it is extremely difficult to do that without div-
ing into programs that really define how we operate.” Under a worst-case scenario, were the income tax to fail again, the district would probably lose vocational agriculture and consumer science (formerly home economics) altogether, along with reductions in art, technology classes and other programs. “We still have to meet graduation See BUDGET CUTS, page A2

Plans well under way for village’s fourth Relay
Traffic questions throw wrench into comprehensive plan
The Johnstown Relay for Life committee will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 3, in the village administration offices at 599 S. Main St. to continue planning its June 24 overnight walkathon to raise money for the American Cancer Society. This will be the fourth year for the event in Johnstown, which has exceeded its fundraising goal every year and has set a target of $47,000 for 2011. “Our first year our goal was $30,000,” said committees chair Mary Wiswell. “But since we hit goal each year, they raise the goal. We ended up at $47,000 for this year, which I can tell you is not going to be easy. But that’s what we shoot for, and it’s all volunteers. “Last year was the first year we hit goal at the event itself, so we could announce it at closing ceremonies,” Wiswell said. “The previous years we hit our goal in August, after the event.” The committee is especially focusing on students this year, and so far the largest team that has registered for the Relay is made up of about 14 students, Wiswell said. “One of our big pushes is to try to reach out into the schools,” she said. “We want to be a kind of presence in the schools. “You go to this event at 3 o’clock in the morning and there are kids running around throwing footballs and kicking soccer balls. They love it,” Wiswell said. “We are starting to form a reputation, it’s the last weekend in June, so people can plan their vacations but still know when Relay is.” Thursday the committee will discuss what it can do to encourage teams to register now. Wiswell said registering is the act that starts participants thinking about the event and planning their activity, which is crucial to successful fundraising. “The bulk of our fundraising needs to happen prior to the event,” Wiswell said. “The website gives teams and participants a lot of tools to fundraise, so if they get registered they can start using the web site to reach out and fundraise and plan. Once they get registered, people will follow that lead. It gets the ball rolling.” The registration site can be reached at www.relayforlife.org/Johnstown. In past years, most of the participating teams have been small-town oriented, with a family and church focus. See RELAY, page A3

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers While the village of Johnstown Planning and Zoning Commission has been working hard for many months to update its 2005 comprehensive plan and expects to continue to do so until at least summer, one issue demonstrates the difficulty of planning: A highway bypass for the village of Johnstown. Construction will begin this spring on changes to the downtown intersection of state Route 37 and U.S. Route 62, including the addition of turn lanes and changes to traffic signals. The work should help reduce growing congestion, but in the long term the only solution to heavy downtown traffic is a high-speed bypass. Jim Lenner, village planner and acting administrator, told The Independent that the idea of a bypass has been floated since at least 2005, when the current comprehensive plan was developed. At that time, the general belief was that heavy traffic would be to the northwest side of the village, toward Sunbury. “I think this first appeared in 2005 in the original strategic plan,” Lenner said. “A lot of the assumption at that time was that state Route 37 up to Sunbury and then down to state Route 161 was going to be the more heavily traveled roadway, and they were going to try to connect those sections.” Today, however, with the opening of the high-speed, interstate quality throughway on state Route 161, the picture looks different. “Seeing how traffic has increased on U.S. Route 62, a lot of people are using 62 to get to New Albany to Columbus,” Lenner said. “What we will see now is a See BYPASS, page A3

In business for 60-plus years, meat market still a Perfect business By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers While some butchers go upscale with foreign chocolates, wines and other packaged goods that appeal to urban markets, and other butchers close down because times have changed, Johnstown’s Perfect’s Meat Market is doing just fine. Perfect’s, founded at 80 E. Coshocton St. in 1947 by John and Hope Perfect after John got out of the army, has also had a retail shop since 1974. Son Bill joined the company in 1972, after he got out of the army himself.
Today, Bill runs the business with his daughter, Jenny Hollis, while John, 86, and Hope, 85, are retired. Hollis said about a third of the business is retail, with the rest being custom meat processing. “We do custom butcher processing of hogs, cattle and lamb,” Hollis said. “We also do deer processing during the hunting season. That’s big. We process quite a few, probably more than 1,000.” Bill and Jenny have four other employees, while Jenny’s brother Zeb works for a meat company in Columbus. Jenny said the business is changing, but Perfect’s has products that are sell-
ing, including venison sausage and her dad’s beef chipotle sausage, which won national recognition in 2004. “I would say they (small butcher shops) are getting few and far between,” Hollis said. “There have been stores around us that have closed. “But in the last two or three years,” she said, “we are finding that people are wanting the quality of the beef. They don’t want anything injected. They’re going back to the old school way of bringing it in, getting it processed, no growth hormones. On the processing side it is getting better and better.” On the retail side, Perfect’s buys beef
— to a butcher, a beef is the animal, not the processed meat — from two local farmers, buying only grain fed Black Angus. On the processing side, Perfect’s will sell a half or a quarter to someone, accumulating orders until they have enough to buy a whole beef. “It depends on the farmers,” Hollis said. “Farmers will sell their customers the beef. Someone might buy a quarter or a half, and the farmer brings it to us and we slaughter it, butcher it and provide the service of processing it. We’ll cut to their specifications, vac pack it

BUDGET CUTS a class) and you had 25 students in a section, that’s 125 students that could not take a subject, say, technology, or art,” Hudson said. “Those are not actual numbers, they just illustrate what it looks like. “The bottom line is, if you have three art teachers or technology teachers and you cut one, then you can’t take as many students so some students are going to lose out.” If the levy does pass, there will still be some cuts to make up for expected losses in state funding. Currently, Hudson’s budget anticipates a loss of 11 percent of state funds, but many treasurers are planning on cuts of 20 percent in state funding. “For example, if you look at a special education position, the cumulative effect of (cutting) that (position) over four years is more than $200,000,” Hudson said. “If we lose another 5 percent in state funding, that’s $200,000 in our budget.” Hudson said the board is prepared for public comment Monday. “We anticipate some feedback from the community,” Hudson said. “I think it’s kind of an important meeting.”
Continued from page A1 standards, so we go through to see where we can cut and still meet those standards,” Hudson said. “We can’t say, cut five English teachers, because we can’t do that (and meet standards). “We don’t have to offer family and consumer science, we don’t have to offer vocational agriculture, so those are potential cuts,” he said. “We don’t have to have an elementary school guidance counselor, but whenever you cut positions you’re going to see a change in service level.” These cuts would be the deepest level faced by the board and the district, Hudson said. “This is under the assumption if the levy does not pass and we have to do additional savings,” Hudson said. “We’d be looking at having to save $1.4-million by 2012, and $6.1 by 2014, but those cuts reflect some dramatic alteration in how this district operates.” Because schools are staff intensive, with more than 80 percent of operating costs going to staff salaries, large cuts can be made only by reducing classes offered to students. “Suppose the numbers were five sections (of

Continued from page A1 — we vac pack everything, no butcher wrap — then freeze it so it’s ready for pick-up.” Plant manager Ernie Mays said the two factors that control the taste of cut beef are the feeding and the aging. While hogs and lamb are slaughtered and packaged relatively quickly, beef can age for days, he said — the longer the better. “It helps to age the cattle, it breaks down the molecules in the meat, makes it more tender, gives it a more desirable flavor,” Mays said. “The longer they hang the better they are. It’s called the dry aging process.” If a connoisseur truly wants high quality, Perfect’s will cut the carcass into its prime elements—a loin or a rib—and age that component separately. Retail salesman Larry Caudle has been cutting beef for 52 years, and he says health trends in the public mind have changed the way meat is fed and cut. “Things have changed over the years,” Caudle said. “When I first started cutting meat, they would take a rib, and the eye would have to be a certain size, it would have
to have so much marbling in it. We had prime, choice, good, utility and standard, five grades of beef. “Today the beef is fed different than it used to be,” he said. “Doctors tell you not to eat fat, so they’ve
actually cut down on the amount of marbling. Now, 99 percent of people will walk in here and buy that steak (with no marbling) because they don’t want that fat. But the best steak in there is the one with the fat.”

Sinus infections can be frequent BYPASS 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 children do not CHARLES typically need ELMARAGHY 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 openings 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.

lot of traffic heading south on 37 to 161 or 310 to 161, to get to the new 161. “With that just opening, there are some unknowns,” he said. “We’ll have to get counts to see how traffic counts have changed because of the new roadway.” No matter how the area develops, the controlling factor in any bypass will be money to build it. Since the village will not have a budget to do so, and the state Department of Transportation controls both routes 37 and 62, the funding decision will be made by the state. For many reasons, that means such a project is 15, 20 or even 30 years away, Lenner said. “The village has no way to finance an operation like that,” Lenner said. “It would be state funded. This would be 20 years down the road, and that’s if the economy picks back up. 161 was

RELAY Continued from page A1 “We tend to have more family and church type teams than business and civic teams,” Wiswell said. “I think that goes with Johnstown being a small town that is so family oriented. We do recruit businesses and civic organizations, but what we’ve seen in the past three years has been more centered around families.” Even so, more organization teams are participating, including this year PNC Bank, which
15 years in the making. Cherry Valley Road has been a problem for many years, and that’s still being addressed.” James Decker, project engineer for W.E. Stilson, village engineers, said that a decade is no time at all for such major transportation projects. “I would put it out there as at least 20 years down the road before it could happen,” Decker said. “With any large transportation project, there are so many factors, and getting major funding is in play. Then you have to get acquisition of right of way clearances and environmental clearances. “When you are talking a large scale project, it takes a good 10 years for a lot of those things to materialize, if not longer.” Despite such uncertainty, the village still has to plan for such development, Lenner said, noting that the planning and zoning commission will continue to address the possibility of a bypass during its updates to the strategic plan.

OHSAA division changes not fair It’s not hard to imagine the confrontational feelings that were created when the OHSAA released a statement Jan. 13 announcing that it was tackling the seemingly age-old debate regarding competitive balance among the state’s public and private schools. The proposed referJARROD endum, to be ULREY voted on by O H S A A member schools in May, initially would reset divisional alignments in football, baseball, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, girls volleyball and softball based on a school’s sport-by-sport “athletic count.” That figure would be calculated using mathematical factors that take into account economics, school enrollment policies and tradition.

MBC title within reach for boys basketball squad By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Northridge High School boys basketball team is in the thick of the MBC title hunt, which makes for an exciting homestretch for the Vikings. Before Jan. 27, Fredericktown led the league at 6-1 followed by Utica at 7-2, Northridge at 5-2, Centerburg at 63, East Knox at 4-5, Loudonville at 26, Danville at 2-7 and Johnstown-Monroe at 1-7. “There is a tight race with Utica, Centerburg and Fredericktown and us,” said coach John Wheeler, whose team was 7-5 overall before playing Centerburg on Jan. 28. “The race is up in the air and we’re excited to be the position that we’re in.” The Vikings also played Loudonville on Jan. 29 and will play Wednesday, Feb. 2, at Fredericktown in a game postponed from Dec. 10 because of the length of the Freddies’ football season. On Jan. 25, Northridge rallied from a five-point halftime deficit to defeat East Knox 52-43. Aaron Estep scored 13 points, Caleb Higgins had 12 points and Nick Nixon added nine points. The Vikings lost to Fredericktown 50-43 on Jan. 22 as Tony Rios and Caleb Higgins both scored nine points and Justin Howard added eight points.
“We wasted opportunities against Fredericktown, and it cost us. We made the free throws against East Knox, and that was the difference,” Wheeler said. “We missed 12 free throws with six being the front end of 1-and-1 (opportunities) against Fredericktown, and against East Knox we made 20 of 23 free throws.” On Friday, Feb. 4, the Vikings play at Johnstown. Northridge won the first meeting 59-47 on Dec. 21. “Johnstown is not any easy place to play,” Wheeler said. “They have been competitive in every game they play. Whenever these teams play, both teams are scratching and clawing to win. It will be a typical Johnstown-Northridge game.” Wheeler said the Vikings continue to get better as the season moves closer to the Division III district tournament. “We’re executing better, but we are still working toward getting better in terms of defense,” he said. “The kids are working hard to keep getting better.” •The girls basketball team was 6-9 overall before playing Johnstown on Jan. 29. “I believe we have improved a lot since the beginning of the season,” coach Ashley Holmberg said. “We’ve See VIKINGS, page A6

JOHNNIES Continued from page A5 “We came out flat against Danville (64-53 loss on Jan. 21) and again (against Utica),” coach Kevin Martin said. “We dug ourselves into a whole in the first quarter, we were 12 points down (17-5) and we lose by nine. We tied them in the second quarter and outscored them in both quarters of the second half (10-9 and 20-18).” Martin said he had no explanation for the slow starts, but knows it’s something his team can’t allow to become a habit. “We are on different pages,” Martin said. “We have two guys out there doing the right things to execute the plays and three guys who aren’t.” Junior guard Matt Smith led the Johnnies through 13 games with 18.9 points per game, including 23.8 in his previous four

Our defense has also made great strides, as we continue to work on our manto-man pressure.” The Vikings showed that patience in a 59-22 win over Hamilton Township on Jan. 24. Kelsey Garrabrant scored 13 points with three 3-pointers and both Keilah Ketron and Lydia George added eight points apiece. “Our focus lately has been to be more patient with our offense,” Holmberg said. “When we are patient in our offensive set, move the ball and attack the gaps, it opens things up for us and gives us better looks both inside and out. Also, having nine girls score added to our success against Hamilton Township.” In its third game in five days, Northridge lost at Highland 4336 on Jan. 26 in a non-league game. Garrabrant had her third consecutive game with at least two 3-pointers as she finished with eight points and two 3s.

ULREY 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. Some have suggested separating into privateschool and public-school tournaments, but that 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.
Continued from page A5
Few people want to see Delphos St. John’s beat Shadyside 77-6 for the Division VI state football title, and having Youngstown Ursuline win three consecutive Division V state championships is less than ideal when talking about keeping the field balanced. The problem is that if the OHSAA moves St. John’s up to Division V and Ursuline to Division IV, the same problems will persist, but with different teams. If Hartley would have been in Division III instead of Division IV last fall, it would have been a strong candidate to win that title instead because Watterson, according to the proposed plan, 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 julrey@thisweeknews.com such as Cincinnati St. Xavier, which has 1,171 www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
