SW Licking closes kindergarten center

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

About 15 custodial and maintenance staff members began work last week to close the Southwest Licking kindergarten center.

Students will be moved to seven different classrooms at the district’s three elementary schools.

The kindergarten students will be split up according to classroom availability,

with one classroom at Etna Elementary, two classrooms at Pataskala Elementary and four classrooms at Kirkersville Elementary. Because kindergarten classes in the district are half a day, those numbers represent 14 sections of students that had been in class at the kindergarten center.

“We had to do this according to room availability, not population,” said Superintendent Forest Yocum. “This will fill all our classrooms completely up.”

The move achieves several cost savings, including eliminating staff at the center and lowering heating and utility expenses.

“The tradeoff is that, to have the kindergarten center, here we had to have a principal and a secretarial staff,”Yocum said. “By putting them back into the (elementary) schools, we don’t need the principal, we don’t need the secretarial staff and we don’t have to heat the building. That’s a considerable savings.”

One drawback to the move is that the district has used up all its available classroom space, so any growth in student population will require modular portable classrooms, Yocum said.

“We have very little space left for future growth,” Yocum said. “In the near future, that is likely to necessitate the purchase of modulars, eventually, if we have more growth.”

Because state law limits the use of funds, with operating money being held

differently than capital money, Yocum said, the district is under a severe operating-fund constraint, but it has some available capital money to purchase modulars without affecting the operating budget. “(The kindergarten center) comes out of the operational side of the budget,” he said. “Now, on the permanent improvements side, which we can’t See KINDERGARTEN, page A2

A closer look

The Licking Heights school board is preparing to issue its first bid package for construction at West Elementary School following the issuance last year of $10 million in bonds secured by the district’s permanent-improvements levy.

Board member Richard Wand said construction would proceed in phases, with utilities being moved this summer, construction of a new wing during the school year and completion of construction next summer with a new, larger cafeteria.

“We’re getting ready to send out the utility bid package so we can move the utilities before construction starts (on the building),” Wand said. “We hope for con-

The Works seeks artwork inspired by Civil War

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspaper

The Works museum in Newark has issued a call for artists to submit original artworks and artifacts associated with the Civil War. “‘The Art of War’ is going to be a big exhibit tying into the 150th anniversary of the Civil War,” said Samantha Harris, The Works marketing director. “Licking County has been very involved in that commemoration,

and we would like to showcase any sort of art medium, fabric art, painting, artifacts.

Our gallery will be dedicated to it.”

The Art of War show will run from Nov. 4 to Jan. 8 in The Works main art gallery.

The show will include multimedia art created by various artists with a unifying theme of the Civil War. Museum art coordinator Lyn LoganGrimes said original artworks will probably focus on paintings rather than sculptures,

and the focus will include historical artwork, too.

“The call goes to artists who want to create primarily two-dimensional works for the show and for anyone who has artwork that is connected to the Civil War in some way,” Grimes said.

For consideration, artists should submit three to five images of their submissions in See CIVIL WAR ART, page A2

Twelve-year-old Connor Strayer has outgrown his club basketball team in height and age.

Connor can’t join the Watkins Middle School basketball team, however, despite the coach’s interest in the soon-to-be seventhgrader. Connor is a home-schooler, and SWL district policy prohibits extracurricular activities by students who aren’t physically enrolled in classes.

Seeing athletic potential and desire in their son, Ben and Angela Strayer have urged the school board to reconsider the policy.

The main problem would be in assessing the legitimacy of different home-schooling practices

and verifying the grade levels of the students, athletics director John McGiffin said.

McGiffin said the Ohio High School Athletic Association recommends against allowing homeschoolers to participate in schoolsanctioned sports.

The OHSAA is an educationbased program and is tied to the schools for discipline, attendance and grades, all of which factor into whether a student may participate, McGiffin said.

OHSAA associate commissioner Bob Goldring said the association prohibits home-schoolers from participating in schoolsanctioned sports unless they are enrolled in at least one class

CONSTRUCTION Continued from page A1 “We’re due for funding from OSFC, which, when it comes, will provide for a new high school,” Wand said. “This (current high school) building will then become a middle school.”

The OSFC maintains an annual school facilities eligibility ranking list, which determines both the priority in which school districts receive available funds and the percentage of state and local funding for any construc-

SWL Continued from page A1 through the district. He said home-schoolers who live in a district that doesn’t have a partial-enrollment policy are ineligible to participate in school-sanctioned sports.

Board member Don Huber suggested that students be required to enroll in at least one academic class at a Southwest Licking school, saying it’s a precedent practiced in other districts. That way, Huber said, the school board would be able to do placement testing.

Board members agreed that more research is needed before a decision could be made.

Board member Cindy Zaino seemed more willing to cut through the red tape.

“I don’t know that we need to recreate the wheel,” Zaino said. “If we can talk to enough people, we can create policy.

I don’t know that this has to be ... such a large task.”

Zaino said she doesn’t want to rule out any opportunity for a student who lives in Southwest Licking and whose parents pay taxes.

“I saw that Tim Tebow, who plays in the NFL now, was home-schooled and played on the local high school football team, thanks to a change in a school board policy,” she said.

Huber said this is a major decision that could take time.

Board members said they hope to reach a resolution in July, and Connor could know by then whether he’ll eligible for the coming season.

tion. As a condition of funding, districts must comply with standards set by OSFC. On the 2011 list, Licking Heights ranks 472 of 612 districts, at 78 percent, meaning that 22 percent of the costs of construction will be paid by the state and 78 percent by the district.

Wand said estimated costs are coming in lower than expected.

“We’re using significantly less (than $10 million),” Wand said.

“The last number we approved was around $6.5 million. We have

$10 million and some other money left over from the high school, which gives us about $4.5 million that we can use to do other projects in the district.”

Wand said OSFC requirements will mandate that the cafeteria at West be expanded, which will happen next summer.

“We have to expand the cafeteria because of OSFC requirements,” Wand said. “We have to knock out an outer wall, and we can’t do that and use the cafeteria during school.”

KINDERGARTEN Continued from page A1 spend on anything other than permanent improvements, we can purchase portables, which we can use until the community decides we need a building program. That does not come out of operations and it’s our operations side that is hurting.

The modular purchase is a onetime expense, while the other savings are annual.”

Although the motivation for closing the center is financial, there are advantages to housing kindergarten students in the same building as higher grades, said director of curriculum and instruction Kristi Thompson.

“With the financial constraints, it’s a tough time and we have to make decisions we do not want

to make,” Thompson said. “But curriculum-wise, I see some positives. It makes our buildings complete. All our staff get to see what kindergarten does. Curriculumwise, I think it’s a positive move.”

Some families will find it more convenient to have siblings in the same building, Thompson said.

Yocum said having kindergarten and higher grades in the same building also helps align teaching practices.

“To have the kindergarten teachers relate to the other teachers is difficult, because they have to travel,” Yocum said. “Now, being in the same building, they’ll be able to better communicate with the first grade teachers. There are pluses and minuses on both ends. It’s a difference in philosophy.”

Among expected highlights of the show will be a collection of Remington guns. The Remington firearms company was on the verge of bankruptcy, Harris said, until company employee Joseph Rider and the Civil War reinvigorated Remington, which became a main supplier of firearms.

“We were able to secure a collection of Remington guns,” Harris said. “That will the centerpiece, and it will be flanked by artwork of any media that has the unifying theme of the Civil War.

Harris said the gallery has new shows each month or, in some cases, each two months.

“We really pride ourselves on having something fresh for people to see,” Harris said. “Once a month or two months, we have different exhibits.

Johnstown residents are upset with speeders along some local roads and are asking for the village’s help.

Village manager Jim Lenner said residents are complaining about a higher volume of traffic on Westview and Parkdale drives and North Kasson Street.

Increased traffic is bringing more speeders into residential areas, he said.

The speed limit on the three roads is only 25 mph, Lenner said, but some motorists along Westview Drive are driving 1015 mph over the limit.

Lenner said he, service director Jack Liggett and village finance director Larry Heiser would look into possibly putting in speed tables to help curb the problem. But first, Lenner said,

glasses. They’re bringing the Father’s Day special from Ray-Ray’s Hog Pit, a Clintonville street vendor, with extras from who knows where, possibly other street vendors. In this way we’ll all eat well — better, I’m sure we all realize, than we’d eat if I produced the meal — and the only expectations of the day will be conversation and — I’m guessing here, but see if I’m not right — a little gift-opening on the part of my husband.

I’ve said before in this space that as a person who grew up in a home with a single mother I little appreciated what a father could be to his children until I watched my own husband with his daughters. It was years before I had learned the lesson completely, before I thoroughly, truly, instinctively understood — or as instinctively as it is possible for me to understand — that he is every bit as essential a parent as I am. “Who needs a father?” I used to say, even as I cringed self-consciously in school when words such as “daddy longlegs” or “Trinidad” were uttered.

Well, now I know. I needed a father. And my daughters did, too. Lucky for them, they had — and they continue to have — one of the great ones.

This person — another woman, Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Wash., — also took her idea from Anna Jarvis’ Mother’s Day, which helps to explain why every new movie and television show is either a remake — “Leave It to Beaver” — or a spin-off — “CSI Miami,” “CSI Las Vegas,” “CSI New York.” Had this nation had this creative mindset in the 1950s, board games would be limited to Candyland variations: Return to Candyland, Candyland Revisited, Once Again to Candyland and so on.

But about fathers, the celebration of whom “typically involves gift-giving, special dinners and family-oriented activities,” according to a notoriously unreliable Internet source.

In this case, however, I’m going to go way out on a limb and say that’s a fairly accurate summary of Father’s Day plans. Mother’s Day celebrations necessarily run to restaurants, since Mom shouldn’t have to cook on her special day, but on Father’s Day, no such inhibitions exist, and everyone can come home, pile gifts by Dad’s plate and perhaps go out for ice cream later. Dad will insist on paying.

Football

Offseason work helping young Hornets

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Expecting to have their youngest team since the 2007 season, Licking Heights High School football coach Darren Waters and his staff tried to simplify things during the first half of the allotted 10 coaching days of summer.

“We wanted to reduce the learning curve in our play-calling system for the younger guys,” said Waters, who compiled a 40-22 record in his first six seasons with the Hornets, including a 7-3 mark last season. “We have to have the ability to get to the line of scrimmage and be confident. We’re using a number tree instead of word recognition to help retention. We haven’t messed up a route combination in camp yet.”

The Hornets, who were runners-up (5-2) in the MSL-Cardinal Division last season behind West Jefferson (7-0), will take a few weeks off before returning for their final five camp days.

“We overloaded the guys with base offense and base defense in the first four days and focused on fundamentals (June 16),” Waters said. “We’ll use four days on installation and our last day in a 7-on-7 day with Granville. That’ll be a good measuring stick because they throw the ball and because two years from now, we’ll be playing them again (in the new Licking County League).”

Licking Heights plans to retain the spread offense and use multiple defenses from a 4-3

“We’re looking for some guys to step up on the defensive front, though. We play in a run-oriented league and we’ve got to get some help up front on defense. But that’s why I believe in using our camp days to teach rather than play in 7-on-7 leagues and such. We need to find guys to evolve in the trenches and we need that to start before two-a-days.

Does your kid want to go to football camp?

Pediatric HealthSource

Palpitations not unusual in children, teens Many children experience a racing, pounding heart or “skipped” heart beats at some point in their lives. Some also report that they can feel these symptoms in their neck.

These are known as heart palpitations.

Though these palpitations can be a strange feeling, parents should remember that they are not necessarily an indication of something more serious.

There are a number of factors that may influence someone’s heart rate and rhythm, including exercise, stress, caffeine and certain medications (such as those to treat asthma or heart conditions).

Some kids may simply notice their own normal heart rhythm and wonder if it is normal.

Sometimes, though, palpitations can be an indication of an abnormal heart rhythm.

The vast majority of these rhythms are not life-threatening in otherwise healthy children.

There are a few types of abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias.

Tachycardia arrhythmias are character-

ized by a rapid heart beat, but it is important to realize that a healthy child can easily get his or her heart rate above 160 beats per minute with exercise. Sometimes, a heartbeat is NAOMI simply early. This is a premature contraction.

KERTESZ Heart arrhythmias can be lifelong or temporary. They can also be congenital, which means that children are born with it.

A child does not have to be born with a heart defect to have a heart arrhythmia.

In fact, many children experience arrhythmias and have normally formed hearts.

You should consult you primary care physician if your child experiences palpitations. The physician will evaluate the frequency and intensity of these palpitations, your child’s medical history and that of your family. In many cases, treatment is not necessary.

June 19, 2011

Here at the Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, our comprehensive care includes a thorough medical history and potentially an electrocardiogram (EKG). In addition, we offer portable monitors that can record your child’s symptoms. These can be worn anywhere from one to 30 days, or only when your child experiences palpitations.

Some of these monitors are the size of credit cards and can be carried in your pocket. They can record a tracing of your child’s heart rhythm, known as an ECG, which can then be shared over the phone with your cardiologist for evaluation.

Our Heart Center is ranked among the best in the country and offers comprehensive care for all kinds of pediatric heart conditions.

July 18 – 20, 2011 4:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Dublin Coffman High School www.procamps.com/chrisspielman Open to boys and girls, age 7 to 14

ENTER TO WIN!

Dr. Naomi Kertesz is director of electrophysiology and pacing at the Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an associate professor of pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
