Marble Cliff

Landlords’ reports due by March 15 By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The village of Marble Cliff will send out notices to landlords this week, reminding them they are now required to send the village a list of their business or residential tenants. The lists of tenants are due in to the village by March 15, fiscal officer Cindy McKay said.

The mandatory occupancy report was part of an ordinance approved by village council in December. The legislation also enacts mandatory (or universal) filing of income tax forms in the village, beginning with the 2011 tax year. Requiring landlords to report who is occupying their properties is a way to make sure the village is collecting all the tax revenue it is owed, McKay said.

“Other municipalities have similar requirements, so we are not doing anything extraordinary,” she said. Landlords will be required to send the village occupancy reports twice a year, McKay said. The reports are due on March 15 and Sept. 15. “A simple letter listing your tenants is all we need,” she said. The penalty for failing to file a report is $5 per day, with a maximum fine of

$100, McKay said. “Certainly, with this being the first time out of the gate, we’re not looking to penalize people,” she said. “We want to let owners of rental properties know, though, that this is now a requirement.” It is the landlord’s responsibility to make the report, not the tenants themselves, McKay said. Since the mandatory income tax filing begins with the current tax year, most

taxpayers won’t file their first village income tax form until April 2012, she said. “The universal filing requirement impacts a couple of things,” McKay said. “People who own rental properties in the village , their income from those properties is taxable. So if you own a property and collect rent, you may owe village income tax. See VILLAGE, page A3

NCR breaks ground for $8M FCV expansion By ANDREW MILLER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Lily Nault looks over one of the projects on display during the Brain Blast event at Edison Intermediate/Middle School on Feb. 10.

Student creativity on display at Brain Blast By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The commons at Edison Intermediate/Middle School was turned into an exhibition hall Feb. 10 at the annual Brain Blast creativity fair. Students in kindergarten through third grade displayed their artistic, scientific and creative interests at the event, which is sponsored by the Grandview K-3 PTO. Third-grader Josh Keil’s display featured information and trivia about his favorite game, Scrabble. “I just love this game,” he said. “The great thing about Scrabble is that it’s a lot of fun to play, but it’s also so educational. You can learn a whole lot of new

words.” Keil said there are a lot of fascinating things about Scrabble. “One of the most amazing things is that the inventor of Scrabble, Alfred Butts, was really bad at playing it,” he said. “I don’t know why or how he invented if he was so bad at it. “Another interesting fact is that there are 109 permissible two-letter words in Scrabble and the only letter that’s not used in any of them is v,” Keil said. His favorite two-letter word? “Za. As in, piz-za: ‘let’s order some za,’” Keil said. While Keil was celebrating his favorite game, third-grader Olivia Gamble’s display paid tribute to her favorite candy,

Dum-Dum lollipops. “I think I like them so much because they have so many flavors,” Gamble said. “I wish I could eat them all day long.” “My favorite is root beer,” she said. Her display included a lot of information to make one smarter about DumDums, including a list of flavors no longer made. “They used to have flavors like chocolate, lemon and banana that they don’t make anymore,” Gamble said. “I’d like to have the chance to try a chocolate DumDum.” Last summer, Gamble visited the factory in Bryan, Ohio, where her favorite See BLAST, page A3

After assuming the role as sole sponsor and operator of First Community Village in December, National Church Residences has followed through on its promise to expand the campus. At a groundbreaking event Feb. 11 that included NCR and city officials, NCR announced a new, $8-million expansion project at First Community Village on Riverside Drive. The project will include 32 independent-living manor homes, along with another 13 buildings, which will include additional dining and recreation options. The new patio-style homes will range in size from 1,525 to 1,667 square feet. “The expansion of the manor homes will enable First Community Village to continue to provide an array of senior living resources across the comprehensive continuum of care,” CEO Thomas Slemmer said. Columbus-based Corna Kokosing Construction Company will head the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of summer 2012, according to NCR spokesman Patrick Higgins. “The revitalization of First Community Village is an opportunity for us to expand our service offerings and start the next chapter,” Higgins said. “We are very excited to finish out the original scope of the campus.” Higgins said that he currently has a list of 50 people who have shown interest in the new

units, several of whom have already made deposits. Emma Speight, Upper Arlington deputy city manager for community affairs, said that the expansion is another great option to allow Upper Arlington residents to age in place. While the city is expecting to see a small increase in revenue from the project, Speight said the increased quality of life for seniors that this expansion will bring is the real value. “This project is great news for UA and we are glad NCR is moving full steam ahead,” Speight said. NCR is based in Upper Arlington and is a partner with the city on the STAY UA program, which connects residents with needed social services and healthcare to allow them the option of aging in place in their own homes. The company is the nation’s largest nonprofit developer and manager of affordable senior housing and services, according to its website, with more than See PROJECT, page A3

Board may consider revision Trinity’s Legacy of Learning to 2011-12 school calendar fundraiser set for March 5 By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Superintendent Ed O’Reilly presented the Grandview Heights Board of Education Feb. 8 with a potential revision to the 2011-12 school year calendar that would maintain the earlier than usual start of school but include two changes in an attempt to address concerns some parents have raised about the calendar the board adopted at its January meeting. O’Reilly said he would wait until the board’s March meeting before recommending whether the previously adopted calendar should be retained or whether the

revised calendar should be accepted in its place. Waiting a month will give parents time to conEd O’Reilly sider the revised calendar option and give their feedback and for him to take that feedback into account, he said. Under the calendar adopted by the board last month, the 201112 school year would begin on Aug. 17, a week earlier than usual. The winter break would begin on Dec. 23 with students returning to class on Jan. 10.

The later start of winter break would allow semester exams to be held before the break, which is one of the major reasons for the earlier start of the school year. The last day of school for students would be May 30. The revised option O’Reilly presented would maintain Aug. 17 as the first day of school. But students would begin their winter break on Dec. 22 and return to class on Jan. 5.

According to the website, Music Together is an early-childhood music and movement program for infants through kindergartners, and the adults in their lives. It focuses on the idea that all children have music in them. Case and Randolph were so pleased with the results of this program that they’re working to make it a monthly event.

treats are manufactured. “It was cool to see all these Dum-Dums coming off the assembly line,” she said. “We got free Dum-Dums and I got to stand inside the Dum-Dum Drum. That’s their mascot.” And unlike sausage, you definitely want to see how lollipops are made, Gamble said. “I think I like them even more now,” Gamble said. “I’d love to go back to the factory again.” Second-grader Julian Yue called his display, “Yeast Feast” and it offered details about how yeast is used to make bread. “The yeast is what makes the bread rise when you bake it,” he said. “If there’s no yeast, the bread stays flat and it’s like a tortilla.” In his research, Yue said he was most surprised to find that yeast is what causes the tiny holes in bread. “The yeast bubbles up and when it pops, it makes the holes,” he said. Yue said he enjoys eating bread, especially as part of a sandwich. “I like sandwiches with lots of meat and cheeses,” he said. “It’s so good.” Kindergarten student Beau Mattingly chose recycling as the topic of his display, which included a robot he made using, among other recyclables, empty two-liter plastic pop bottles and Pringles cans. “It’s important to recycle to help clean up the Earth,” he said. Mattingly said he works his own garden at home, growing such items as tomatoes, eggplant and red peppers. Gardening is fun, “because it gets your hands dirty,” he said.

“Because we’ve never had universal filing, we don’t know if we’re getting that revenue or not,” she said. In addition, residents who live in the village but work outside Marble Cliff may have taxes on income earned in the village that they may not realize they owe, McKay said. “I don’t think we’ve done as good of a job as we should making information available about what is taxable,” she said. “Because we didn’t have universal filing and hadn’t done much to educate residents, chances are they didn’t file a form and so did not pay.” A document answering questions about taxes, including what sort of income is taxable and what is not, is available from the village. A person who works in Marble Cliff but lives in another community has their income tax withheld by their employer and does not have to file an income tax form with the village, McKay said. But a village resident who works outside Marble Cliff does need to file a form, she said. Exemption forms can be filed by those earning the types of income that are not taxable, McKay said. The village’s income tax is administered by the city of Columbus, and Marble Cliff uses Columbus’ tax form, she said. The forms are available at www.columbustax.net or at the village office, McKay said. Those persons who expect to owe a significant income tax to the village should consider doing a quarterly tax filing, she said. Both the mandatory occupancy reports and the universal tax

Continued from page A1 option. “I’ve talked to (high school principal) Jesse Truett and we can still get exams done before break,” O’Reilly said, “so the educational reasons for the calendar change can still be addressed.” Over the past 35 years, the school year has consistently included about 180 days of class with some variations in start and end dates and break times, he said. Next year’s start date of Aug. 17 would be the earliest; the latest was Sept. 9 in 1996-97 due to construction, O’Reilly said. End dates have gone as late as June 11. In past 35 years, the average first school day of winter break was Dec. 22 and the average return date was Jan. 4, he said. The earliest start of the break was Dec. 19 and the latest was Dec. 24. Although students have had nearly a week off before Christmas Day the past two years, that is not the norm, O’Reilly said. In 2007-08, the first school day off was Dec. 24 and in 2008-09 it was Dec. 22. As usual, a calendar committee was formed this year and developed two calendars that were

+ tax & fees

presented to district staff for a vote, he said. The committee included administrators, teachers, support staff personnel, parents and a student representative. The currently adopted calendar was approved by staff with a 60 to 40 percent vote, O’Reilly said. After the vote, the superintendent can choose to recommend the voted upon calendar to the board or recommend changes, he said. The board decides whether to adopt the recommended calendar or reject it. The board did vote to approve the recommended calendars for the next two school years at its January meeting. O’Reilly said he received emails and phone calls from parents, some who raised concerns about the adopted calendars and others who complimented them. “We still have some people who believe school shouldn’t start until after Labor Day,” he said. Other parents commented that their families take vacation in midAugust and said the district had not provided enough warning for the change, O’Reilly said. Among the other concerns parents raised were potential scheduling problems for family holi-

day trips and vacations, parents’ time off from work and/or arranging child care that would be necessitated by the later start and end dates for the winter break, he said. Some of the positive comments he received noted benefits for the later winter break period and indicated it made educational sense to hold semester exams before the break, O’Reilly said. Most of the feedback he received mentioned the timing of the winter break as a major downfall or strength of the calendar, he said. He expected the earlier start of the school year to be an issue with many families, but did not anticipate the concerns that would arise over the winter break schedule, O’Reilly said. “Because it’s been several years since we have started the break late, I do understand that newer families” were caught off guard,” he said. Reviewing the calendar’s history over the past 35 years, the proposed schedule is not a drastic change from past schedules, but a deviation from the past several years, O’Reilly said. afroman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

The 1924 Grandview High School Orchestra is pictured above, seated outside of the main entrance to the high school. Eighteen students were members of the orchestra at a time when the GHS enrollment was approximately 150 students. The orchestra was a student organization from the very beginning of the high school. They played for all the commencements and student plays, and made appearances in the community. The GHS orchestra as a student organization is not mentioned in the yearbook after 1962. It is not clear when or why the orchestra made the transition to a band, which differs from an orchestra based on the lack of stringed instruments.

Columbus’ rivers did not provide a useful waterway With the opening of the Scioto Mile, the Scioto River will once again be an attraction that will draw people both to downtown and the city as a whole. After all, people were drawn to the forks of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers a couple of centuries ago because the water was clear and clean. And it was widely believed that a place where two rivers came together would soon be a center of profitable river trade. The water was clear and clean and had been drawing people to its banks for several thousand years. Native Americans lived here for centuries and built large Indian

mounds nearby. Mound Street is named for one of them. Thousands of deer came down to the river to drink in ED molting season and covered LENTZ the water in a blanket of shedding deer fur. With a wry directness, Native American gave the stream a new name — “Hairy River.” But the profitable river trade the pioneers expected to undertake with huge cargo laden flatboats

This 1908 photo shows the Columbus Lateral Canal near the West Main Street locks. Beginning June 12, 1908, the area was covered over and converted into a playground.

LENTZ Continued from page A4 merce. And all of this should be financed by the federal government. Of course many people in the East were not thrilled with the idea that their taxes should subsidize public works that would help the Ohio River valley compete with their own commerce. So canals were more a dream than a reality for a number of years. Then the extraordinary success of the Erie Canal linking the East to the Great Lakes captured the imagination of the country in the years after the War of 1812. Soon many Ohioans were talking about canals and building one in the state. But talk was really the only result. Like many other times in the state’s history, forceful leadership was needed to bring canals to Ohio. In this case, that leadership was provided by Ethan Allen Brown. As early as 1816, Brown, a Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, had written to Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York seeking information about the canal system of that state. When Brown was elected governor in 1818, he proposed building a canal and continued to press for its construction. In the end the Ohio General Assembly agreed and studies were made as to possible locations. Two major canal systems — the Miami and Erie in the west and the Ohio and Erie in the east — were built with the support and supervision of a number of people as committed to the project as Gov. Brown had been. Important

among them was Alfred Kelley. Kelley had come to Columbus in 1816 to represent Cleveland in the assembly. He served for the next several decades, eventually representing Columbus as well. As a member of the Canal Commission he personally supervised the construction of much of the canal. When the economic depression of the 1830s threatened Ohio’s ability to pay interest due on its canal bonds, Kelley would pledge his own Columbus home as collateral to ensure payment on the bonds. Through the efforts of Kelley and many others, Columbus was linked to the main line of the Ohio and Erie Canal by a Feeder Canal that entered the city near the place where Bicentennial Park is today. In 1860, a state arsenal — now the Cultural Arts Center — would be built next to the canal to permit easy movement of arms and ordnance in and out of the city. The canal and the recently arrived National Road transformed Columbus. As late as 1832, Columbus was a frontier village of a few thousand people. By 1834, Columbus was a city of five thousand people. Large numbers of travelers and immense quantities of freight arrived by both road and water and more than a few Columbus residents made their fortune in the new crossroads capital city. The canal and its people captured the imagination of the city. Longtime resident Emily Stewart later remembered, “The first canal boats seemed like fairy palaces. They were

painted white and the windows had green shutters and scarlet curtains. The inside panels of the cabins contained pictures and mirrors. The officers of the passenger boats were gentlemen. The cabin was a dining and sitting room in the daytime, but was converted into a sleeping apartment at night. There were staterooms at each end for the ladies, whose comfort was further promoted by the attentions of a polite and diligent stewardess. For years after the canal was opened, the boats always came in with a band of music playing on board. The captain of the boat usually played the clarinet for the entertainment of the passengers…” But all of this growth and success came with a price. The riverfront between the Main Street Canal Basin and the Broad Street Bridge came to be filled with docks for canal boats and canal warehouses soon lined the waterfront. Factories, inexpensive housing and even less attractive taverns and other amusements soon followed. The river, once clear and pristine, soon became little more than an open sewer and a place few people willingly visited for leisurely recreation. The golden age of the Ohio and Erie Canal lasted for less than 30 years. By 1850, the first railroad had arrived in Columbus and in a few years, the canal began a long, slow decline. An attempt to revive the canal was unsuccessful. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

10 Jorge Gomez and his mu- traditional Cuban forms with Latin

sical compañeros were going to make timba music, despite what people told them about the challenges of finding audiences for the hybrid form among U.S. audiences. In 2000, Gomez found himself in Miami, reuniting with many friends from their days playing the clubs around Havana, Cuba. They had each had classical training alongside their cultural accumulation of Latin and Afro-Cuban musical styles like son, salsa and even santeria. And from Cuba, each had traveled with their families via a different geographical path to Miami — pianist/keyboardist Gomez first to Guatemala, others to far-flung places like Argentina, Italy and Spain. The friends were making music separately, in supporting bands for a number of top acts, but decided “we had to play this music we left behind,” Gomez told The Beat. “The first thing that came into my mind was that (timba) was the only thing we could do,” he added. “That or nothing.” Timba is a modern hybrid of

jazz, featuring instrumentation not typically found in Cuban music, resulting in something “a little deeper sounding and more energetic,” Gomez explained. The friends named their new band Tiempo Libre, or “free time,” as it started out as a side project for each. Despite what they were told about their music’s potential appeal to American audiences, Tiempo Libre didn’t stay a side project for long. “In 2004 we released our first album and got our first Grammy (Award) nomination. In 2006 we released our second album and got our second Grammy nomination,” Gomez related, with a chuckle that indicated he was being less than self-aggrandizing. Of course, those who told him it wouldn’t work had to be saying “OK, OK. We get the point.” Tiempo Libre has since earned a third Grammy nomination, and timba has taken Gomez and mates around the world. “U.S., Europe, Israel, Australia. We’re always getting a lot of support,” Gomez said. “It’s like ‘Wow, we know we’re doing the right thing.’”

Commentary

Nubians continue to roll along In a relatively short amount of time, Africentric has built a winning tradition in girls basketball. In its eight years of existence, Africentric has won two state championships and five City League titles under coach Will McKinney. The Nubians’ fifth City championship came LARRY Feb. 12 in a LARSON 60-52 victory over previously unbeaten Northland before a large and enthusiastic crowd at Mifflin. Africentric’s senior star, Raven Ferguson, led the way with 22 points, nine rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals. It was her fourth consecutive City championship game and her third victory. “This one really means a lot to me because we ran the City League for a while, but we didn’t get it done last year (against Brookhaven) and that was hard,” she said. “At Africentric we have a tradition of winning, so bringing the trophy back to our school after missing it a year ago is great and, since this is my senior year, it makes it even better.” Talking about her team’s performance against Northland, Ferguson said, “Beating a great team like Northland meant we had to compete hard on every play of the game and every second of the game up and down the court. We wanted to be the team who could say that we beat an unbeaten Division I team. We wanted to be the team who could say that Northland is now 18-1 and we are the one, and it truly took a full team effort to do it. “Every player on our team stepped up this week. Players that didn’t see action in the game worked so hard in practice to get us ready. Everyone has a role on this team and as long as we are all working toward the same goal we will be just fine. I know that experience means a lot and we have been in so many big games and in tough situations in those big games, and I think that helped us a lot against Northland. I feel like I have played in that atmosphere all four years that I have been at Africentric.

Grandview Heights Roundup

Boys opt for unfamiliar opponent By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Ray Corbett decided to pit his Grandview Heights High School boys basketball team against an unknown rather than teams he deemed to be dominant. On Feb. 13 during the Division III district tournament draw, the longtime coach chose to play Centerburg, believing that was the best path for his team to reach a district semifinal. The Bobcats will play Centerburg at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at Westerville North. Centerburg is 10-9 overall and Grandview was 9-9 before playing Fisher Catholic on Feb. 15. “I know a lot about some of the other options and I didn’t want to play those teams,” Corbett said. Corbett was looking to stay away from the top four seeds — Heath, Bloom-Carroll, Africentric and North Union. Centerburg needed overtime to beat East Knox 57-54 on Feb. 12 to snap a two-game losing streak. During that stretch, the Trojans played three games in four days, losing to Utica 52-36 on Feb. 8 and Newark Catholic 55-50 on Feb. 10. “(Coach) Jim (Stoyle) does a good job with the kids up there,” See LARSON, page A8 Corbett said. “We took a gam-

play at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 19, at Granville against Madison Plains. The Golden Eagles dropped to 9-10 overall by losing to Clinton-Massie 55-40 on Feb. 12. Laura Wilson led with 10 points. Wilson, a senior, leads Madison Plains with averages of 11.5 points and six rebounds. Sophomore Casey Knisley adds eight points and five rebounds per game. “(The Golden Eagles) are a scrappy team, but they aren’t very big, so we’ll have a size advantage,” coach Steve Hall said. “But if you don’t use your size to your advantage, then it doesn’t matter.” The Bobcats sport three post players in senior forwards Abby Cameron (5-foot-11) and Karen Daniel-Hamberg (6-0) and senior center Kelly O’Hara (5-10).

Ready Roundup

Wrestlers’ conference title ‘is a pretty big deal’ By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Ready’s Christian Knapper collides with Josh Petrel of Worthington Christian during the visiting Silver Knights’ 56-51 loss on Feb. 11.

All Ready High School wrestling coach Chance Van Gundy knows for sure is that it’s been a long time since his program last enjoyed a conference championship. At the CCL tournament Feb. 12 at Watterson, the Silver Knights earned six individual titles and placed among the top three in all 14 weight classes. Ready scored 256.5 points to win the title ahead of DeSales (183.5), St. Charles (150), Hartley (137) and Watterson (48). The Silver Knights’performance provides hope that a successful postseason could be looming. “Someone asked me the last time Ready won a CCL title, and I really don’t know for sure, but someone told me it was 14 years ago,” Van Gundy said. Whether the conference title is a signal that the team has returned to its successes of the 1990s when it was one of central Ohio’s best in Division III remains to be seen. What is not in doubt is that the Silver Knights have a large pool of talented freshmen. Seniors Josh Hall (112 pounds) and Phil Halko (160) were joined as conference champions by freshmen Bobby Smith (103), Dalton Scott (119), Will Martello (130) and Hannibal Tate (145). “It feels pretty good because (winning the CCL title) is a pretty big deal,” said Smith, See READY, page A8

Daniel-Hamberg led with 16 points and Caitlyn Sarich added 10 points. Harvest Prep won the MSLCardinal at 14-0 followed by West Jefferson (11-3), Liberty Union (9-5), Grandview (8-6), Fisher Catholic (6-8), Berne Union (5-9), Licking Heights (3-11) and Millersport (0-14). The Bobcats won four of their final five regular-season games to finish strong heading into the postseason. “During that stretch, we were without (senior guard) Danielle Clark for three games after she sprained her MCL against Millersport (65-26 win on Jan. 28),” Hall said. “She played for the first time since then (on Feb. 12) against West Jefferson and even though she didn’t score, it was good to have her back on the floor.” •The wrestling team will compete in a Division III sectional on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 18-19, at Madison Plains. The top four in all weight classes advance to district Feb. 2526 at Coshocton. Alex Minnillo at 145 pounds and Dan Satterthwaite at 215 should be seeded, coach Andy DiSabato said. “You have to have a winning record to be seeded, so those would be our only seeded wrestlers,” he said. Last year in the Cardington sectional, Grandview finished seventh with 84.5 points, behind champion Galion Northmor (218.5). Minnillo advanced at 145 and Satterthwaite at 215.

READY the recent play of 5-foot-10 sophomores Alexis Mayle and Nikki Brown has given the team a boost. Brown averaged 10 rebounds during one recent four-game stretch and Mayle averaged 16 points over the final four regular-season games. Coach Joe Lang sensed that his team was starting to turn the corner during a 55-52 loss to DeSales on Jan. 15 even though the Silver Knights went on to lose their next six. “We’re doing a lot of good things offensive and defensively,” Lang said. “Our biggest thing is doing it for 32 minutes.” Ready opens the postseason at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17, at Gahanna against sixth-seeded Centerburg, which is 13-7. The Trojans are led by 5-11 guard Mackenzie Stoyle and 6-0 forward Mikaela Weldy. The winner plays third-seeded Bloom-Carroll or No. 5 West Jefferson at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, at Dublin Scioto. Bloom-Carroll went 16-4 during the regular season, including a 63-39 win over Ready on Nov. 30. West Jefferson was 15-5. •The boys basketball team opens the Division III district tournament against Berne Union at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, at Newark. The winner plays top-seeded Heath in the second round at 8 p.m. Feb. 26 at Newark. The Silver Knights were 5-13 before playing North Union on Feb. 15 and the Rockets were 4-13 before facing West Jefferson the same night.

who enters the Division III sectional on Friday, Feb. 18, at Madison Plains with a 32-1 record. “St. Charles won it last year and we were second. This year, we all came together as a team and it worked out really well for us.” Earning runner-up finishes at the league tournament were freshmen Patrick Stover (135) and Dorrion Newton (heavyweight) and seniors Joe Knapp (140) and Chris Goodberlet (152). Thirdplace finishers were seniors Brian Montgomery (125) and Brandon Cooper (215), sophomore Keegan Irwin (171) and freshman Patrik Garren (189). Sophomore Brandon Burt has been battling a knee injury and could not compete at the league tournament. He is questionable for the postseason. Ready was seeded fifth for the sectional and is at the same site as top-seeded West Jefferson as well as No. 3 Amanda-Clearcreek and No. 4 Utica. “We wrestled a pretty competitive schedule this year,” Van Gundy said. “(The CCL tournament) wasn’t the grind that they’ve been used to, but hopefully it helps us heading into the postseason. Anything less than eight (district qualifiers) would be a disappointment.” •The girls basketball team enters the Division III tournament after going just 7-13 during the regular season. The Silver Knights, however, are on a threegame winning streak that included a 42-39 victory over DeSales on Feb. 9. While senior forward Dani Pugh is the team’s julrey@thisweeknews.com leader in scoring average at 10.8 points per game, www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

LARSON Continued from page A7 “This team is very special because it has lots of talented girls who can compete at a high level. Earlier in the year the younger players were trying to learn about high school basketball and us five seniors had to teach them how to play Africentric basketball and how to play hard and play under pressure. Since this is our last chance, we as seniors want to win so bad and we push each other and we push our teammates, but as the year has

worn on, the younger players have grown and now they are pushing us. There are no slackers on this team.” Looking ahead to the postseason, which begins Tuesday, Feb. 22, for Africentric, Ferguson said, “The City League title is a wonderful boost for us going into the district tournament because once you win a championship, all of us want the next title even more and there are three more we can win. We have the district, regional and state tournaments ahead and, of

course, we have coach McKinney leading the way. He is a great coach and a father figure for all of us. He is just not a coach, he teaches us about life. I love the family feeling at Africentric and always have loved it. We are all in this together.” Look out Division III. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

Surgery an option for sinus problems Frequent sinus infections in children are a common problem, especially for children in daycare settings. The average child can have six to 10 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 mu-

colytics and some allergy medications such as antihistamines. In a small percentage of children, surCHARLES gery may be ELMARAGHY 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 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. A CT scan is the best way 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. 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.
