Licking Heights to request 11.9 mills 8.9-mill existing levy would come with additional 3 mills By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Licking Heights Board of Education voted unanimously Jan. 18 to put an 11.9-mill, 10 year operating levy on the May ballot. Board members were at pains to say the levy represented a renewal of an existing 8.9-mill levy passed in 2007 plus an additional 3 mills. The levy must be filed with the Licking County Board of Elections by Feb.
we’re asking for 3 on top of just renewing,” board member Mark Loth said. “It’s A closer look really important that we say that.” The district operating budget is $27The existing levy’s annual cost per million, and the existing 8.9-mill levy $100,000 of assessed property value that is expiring raises $4.3-million anis $252.

$100,000 of assessed property value is $252. The cost of the proposed levy would be $365, an increase of about $113 per $100,000. Even with the additional funds, the district expects to have a 2013 deficit of $1.2-million and a 2014 deficit of $6.1million. Board president Matt Satterwhite said Superintendent Thomas Tucker and treasurer Jennifer Vanover would have to begin planning cuts immediately to eliminate the projected deficits.
“We are constantly banging on Jenny and Dr. Tucker, who have already cut everything they can possibly cut,” Satterwhite said. “What I’m going to be voting on is, when we pass this, we have to make that (projected 2013 and 2014 deficit) be zero.” Board member Sharon Cochrum said she was concerned that the mandatory ballot language would confuse voters. “Voters read this paragraph (in the See LEVY, page A2

Pataskala council debates whether raises warranted By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Columbus to Licking County to Pittsburgh
Nine visitors bureaus collaborate to promote destinations along routes By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Nine county convention and visitors bureaus between Columbus and Pittsburgh have collaborated to launch a travel website this month. The idea is to promote a corridor of back roads between the two cities and businesses and tourist attractions on state Routes 161 and 16. Susan Fryer, director of the Greater Licking County Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the various bureaus each pitched in about $2,000 to establish the website, TriStateRoad-
Trip.com, which is intended to be selfsustaining with sponsorships. “It was a collaboration starting off with Licking County and Dennison Railroad in Tuscarawas County, and we knew that along this corridor of state Routes 161 and 16, it becomes Route 37 for a while. There is a terrific tourism product along that route that has never been promoted as a region,” Fryer said. “We wanted a website where people could go and find wonderful destinations, for weekends or even a weeklong trip to connect Columbus and Pittsburgh. As we worked, we found more and more hid-
den treasures along the route.” Linda Linham, a business consultant who returned to Ohio after working in the United Kingdom and Chicago, built the website through her company, Successful Ventures. “I wanted to do something that would make a difference for towns east of here that I’ve known and visited all my life,” Linham said. The economic downturn has hit visitors bureaus particularly hard, she said, because most of them rely on a “bed tax” for funding, and the drop in tourism and travel has hurt their budgets.
“In Licking County, the only marketing dollars they get come from the bed tax,” Linham said. “When people don’t travel, the bed tax begins to decline. The money to market Licking County has diminished.” Linham said the visitors bureaus responded to the crunch by pooling their resources. “We have more than 110 communities so far, and we thought it would be 30 communities,” Linham said. “It’s places to eat, stay and play that people can hear about from local exSee BUREAUS, page A2
Pataskala City Council on Jan. 18 continued to debate whether four city employees are being underpaid and, if so, when and how their pay should be brought into alignment with comparable cities. The affected positions are the city's public-services director, whose base pay is $54,690; the council clerk, $27,400; the mayor’s court clerk, $33,260; and the police clerk, $25,130. Each is being recommended for raises of 4 percent to 11 percent this year, pending their employment anniversary dates. Council member Bernie Brush said those employees substantially were underpaid and that council should commit now to addressing the full amount of the disparity, rather than making the decision later during subsequent budget years. “I just think it’s important that since for other employees we stepped up to a minimum, but these employees we’re spreading over a three-year period,” Brush said. “I think the revised pay matrix should be adopted to say this is our intent for 2012 and 2013 since we are spreading it out over three years instead of doing it right away.” Other council members said they agree with the intent but were not willing to make a decision without knowing other effects on the city budget, including state subsidy of local government, the state of the economy and whether the job functions were in fact the same as in comparable cities. “We don’t know what’s going to happen with the state budget or anything else that might prohibit (the raises) from going forward,” council member Merissa McKinstry said. Council member Dan Hayes said he would like to see a more detailed job-comparison study to ensure that raises were being awarded based on job See RAISES, page A2
Pataskala might take over ‘blighted’ mobile home downtown By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Pataskala City Council scheduled a special meeting for Monday, Jan. 24, to consider taking over the title to a foreclosed doublewide trailer at 51 Depot St. Mayor Steve Butcher had urged council to take action on the property, which, he said, was a nuisance. “This is a blighted property, and it didn't meet the eligibility of the federal program we used, which
allowed us to seek the removal of numerous blighted homes across the city,” Butcher said, adding that a fire-damaged, red-brick home on state Route 310, just south of the city, had been removed under the federal program. Despite the lack of federal funding, Butcher said, getting rid of the mobile home would be a minimum cost to the city. “There are no available funds in the (federal) Neighborhood Stabilization Program,” city administrator Tim Boland said. Dianne Harris, the city’s planning and zoning di-

rector, said the forfeiture is to the mobile home only, not the real property on which it sits. “It’s sitting there in a sort of limbo,” Harris said. “The person who owns the land is not anxious to expend the funds to demolish the structure. They declined to bid on it when it was offered, and no one else bid on it. That is why it’s being offered to public entities for a forfeiture sale. Because it has been such a problem for code enforcement, I wanted the city to be aware it was there. But at the same

LEVY mandatory ballot language), they won’t know that most of this is a renewal,” she said. Satterwhite said the district had faced similar pressure in 2007, when the current levy was passed, knowing at the time that the district would reach this point of facing deficits. “The question came up, looking at our forecast, whether (the levy would be enough). The 2007 levy did not even cover the expense at that time, but after a levy had failed the previous November, it was what they thought (the community) would support,” Satterwhite said. “We had to face the

question: Could we take 2007 funding levels and operate with what we have now? I think I speak for everyone in saying that would be really tough, if not impossible.” To fully fund district operations through its five-year budget forecast would require a 17-mill levy, Vanover said. “None of the levies would make us solvent throughout time,” Satterwhite said. “Jenny told us it would take a 17-mill levy to make us whole over the next few years, and I don’t think anyone thinks that’s going to happen. No matter what we pass, we know we’re going to have to cut because we’re not going to pass a 17-mill levy.”

function rather than title. “I don’t have any trouble telling those employees that we intend to give them equitable pay, but I think there are still a lot of unanswered questions that were raised in the process relating to whether or not we are comparing job titles and job responsibilities,” Hayes said. “Those were never addressed. Maybe I’m the only one concerned about it, but while I will happily vote yes for something that indicates we’re looking toward making their pay more equitable, I’m not sure just saying this is what the director of public services in city A makes means that is what the director of public services makes in city B. That’s what we’re doing. We’re looking at this pay matrix, and we’re going to get you to the minimum because that’s what other cities are paying.” Brush said it was important to commit to the additional years 2012 and 2013 as a matter of fairness to those employees whose salaries were considered too low. “What I think, and the rest of council thinks, is that several employees were being paid at a substantially lower rate as compared to anyone else,” Brush said. “The comparison you had was 2008 rates. This is 2011. It’s three years later. We’ve been behind the 8ball, and I just think it’s a disservice. I want to give some confidence to employees. I’m at least

willing to go to bat for these people.” Hayes said the review he proposes might reveal that pay should be even higher than is currently proposed. “What I’m suggesting may turn out to mean our utilities director should turn out to make more than what neighboring communities pay,” Hayes said. “But why are we just saying this is what a utilities director makes? Let’s figure out what these people do and what they get paid for doing, whether there are comparisons to private industry. I just don’t get the idea of saying, in 2013 we’re working to get to this number when the only evidence we have of this number is a title. That’s troublesome.” Council adopted a motion that directed the law director and city administrator to work together to gather necessary data for a full comparison of wages but not to adopt the 2012 and 2013 pay matrix. “We don’t know if the jobs are the same,” Hayes said. “In my brief experience in county government, the jobs are not the same. What we call a staff attorney in Licking County is a lot more involved than what a staff attorney is in Franklin County, and vice versa on other positions, where the pay is different by tens of thousands of dollars, but when you look at the job responsibilities, that (difference) is warranted.” www.ThisWeekNews.com

time, if the city were to exercise the option for the forfeiture, the city would have to expend its own funds to remove or demolish the structure.” Harris said there was a question whether spending public funds would benefit the property owner, who might be required to demolish the structure. “The property is not going to get better,” Butcher said. “It’s going to continue to deteriorate and continue to be a zoning-violation issue.” Boland said the city did not have cost estimates for the demolition of the mobile home. “The floors are so warped from water infiltration that it’s created little ponds and fallen through in some places,” council member Dan Hayes said. “There are foundation holes where it appears animals are living in the house.

An example of a unique business on the site is an antique-hardware and home-supply store in Tuscarawas County. “There is a place called Old Home Architecture,” Linham said. “They have things like a brass doorknob from a 1920s house. That’s the kind of thing they’ve got.” Fryer said the route was more pleasant and interesting than the interstate highways. “Come out and drive the route and see how beautiful the back roads in Ohio are,” Fryer said. “You leave Columbus and come out state Route 161; it’s so easy now to get out this way. You’ll go through Roscoe Village, the Longaberger Homestead,Amish Country, on in to Pittsburgh. It’s just beautiful and an undiscovered route.”

Columbus magic show to highlight the art of illusion By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Ron Spangler remembers the trip to his first Magi-Fest well. He didn’t make it. In 1978, he was headed there with a friend but a terrible snowstorm forced his mom to turn the car around and go home. Three years later, he successfully attended what he says is one of the biggest and oldest magic conventions in the country, and he hasn’t missed once since. Spangler, an Upper Arlington resident, has been named director of the 79-year-old convention, to be held Jan. 27-29 at the Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel. The Columbus convention, established in January 1932, is expected to draw about 600 people from across the country. “Every magician convention has a different angle,” said Spangler, a mechanical engineer. “One of our particular angles is we want to be a family-friendly convention. We want to be known for that.” While the convention is generally for practitioners and devotees of magic, the general public is invited to attend the convention’s annual magic show at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29 at Veterans Memorial. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children. They are available online at www.magifest.com or will be on sale at the box office the night of the show. The headliner is Greg Frewin, who has his own
theater in Niagara Falls. Spangler described it as a Las Vegas-style magical review, complete with a juggler, dancers and assistants. Meanwhile, the convention involves magic shows, lectures, competitions and sales of merchandise. The origins of Magi-Fest can be traced to two Ohio magic dealers, Sylvester Reilly and Robert Nelson. They co-founded Ring No. 7, a local chapter of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, in 1928. Spangler, 47, described the convention as a sort of family reunion, with a lot of veterans of the convention introducing their children to the craft. “With a lot of kids, it just sticks. It stays with them. It stayed with me,” he said, adding that he doesn’t get to perform as much as he did in the past. Magic has changed over the past few decades, especially with the arrival of the Internet, which has revealed many closely guarded secrets, Spangler said. “If people really want to find it they can find it,” he said. “So magicians are trying to reinvent themselves to keep it fresh.” Jim King Sr. of wholesale supplier MAK Magic on the West Side has been involved with the convention for about 50 years. He said he’s watched participation grow, as well as interest in magic in recent years. “There’s more activity with magic, partly because of the Internet,” he said. “People can get on there and see stuff they normally wouldn’t see.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Prep Notes
Contenders lining up for MSL-Ohio boys title By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Granville and Heath high school boys basketball teams both are bidding to become the next first-time champion of the MSL-Ohio Division. Newark Catholic shared the title a year ago with Bexley to become the sixth school to earn at least a piece of the title since the division was created seven seasons ago. “I can believe that,” first-year Blue Aces coach Jamie Pearson said. “It’s a dogfight every night from what I’ve
seen already.” The Bulldogs are in their second season under coach Devin Fulk, who was the point guard at Licking Valley in 2003-04 when it won the first MSLOhio championship outright. Bexley followed as champion the following season and New Albany, which has since joined the OCC-Capital, won it in 2005-06. The Panthers and Columbus Academy shared the title in 200607, and the Vikings successfully defended it the next year. Lakewood emerged from the scrum to earn it in 2008-09.
No champion has made it through the 14-game schedule without a loss. Whitehall is the only other team in the current alignment that hasn’t won the title. “I’ve played in this league and now I’ve coached in it,” Fulk said earlier this season. “I know how much of a grind it is.” The Bulldogs were 9-2 overall and 5-1 in the MSL-Ohio before playing Jan. 21 at Newark Catholic. The Blue Aces, who beat Heath 62-52 on Jan. 15, were 7-3 and 5-1 before playing Whitehall on Jan. 21. Another split
championship remains a distinct possibility. The Vikings were one game back while both the Green Wave and Rams were two behind before the Jan. 21 games. Bexley, which was labeled a preseason favorite by many coaches along with Heath, and the Panthers had four losses each. Ten of the 24 MSL-Ohio games played through Jan. 15 were decided by single digits, and that doesn’t include Academy’s 60-49 overtime victory against the Panthers on Jan. 13. The margin was six or fewer points in five of 12
games beginning on Jan. 8. “It’s been exciting and we’re only halfway through it,” Pearson said. •HOCKEY — The Newark Generals are going to have a tough time qualifying for the state club tournament for a fourth consecutive season. The Generals, who won the state title two years ago, were 6-9 and in sixth place with 12 points in the Greater Columbus High School Club Hockey League before playing Northeast on Jan. 22.

Commentary
Netotian rolls first 300 game for Rams There are magic numbers in every sport. These are numbers that define great achievement in that particular endeavor. As most of us know, 300 is the magic number in bowling. It’s a perfect game, all strikes. When it is done, it is etched in one’s sports storybook forever. For Whitehall senior LARRY Nick Netotian, LARSON magic time came on Dec. 10 at Holiday Lanes in a match against Eastmoor Academy. For the first time in his young life, Netotian knocked down all the pins on his first throw every frame and nailed down his first 300 game. “It is what you dream of and you shoot for from the time you start bowling,” said Netotian, who is averaging 222.6 a game for the Rams. “My highest before was a 279. At the beginning of my perfect game I felt pretty good, but it wasn’t really anything special until after the eighth frame when I knew the possibilities that were ahead. “I got nervous and then this crowd formed behind me, which added to the pressure. I tried really hard to focus on my mark and let my ball do the work. When I came to the final frame I was a little bit shaken. I was a bit lucky in the frame before, so I felt a little more confident, and when I rolled the last ball I knew I had missed my mark, but I knew I didn’t miss it by much and my dream of a 300 game was realized. When the pins all fell, I felt so unbelievably relieved and it was just so sweet. I hope to bowl for my lifetime and hopefully I will get another 300, but no doubt I will always remember this first one.” Talking about his strengths as a bowler, the Whitehall standout said, “I think that being able to adjust to different lane conditions is one of my plusses and bowling good when it matters is another positive. Bowling is a very intense game and you absolutely have to stay on track. Confidence, like all sports, is so important. You are taught what to do to be successful, but how you apply that teaching is what counts. You have to trust your throw more and more as you get more experienced. “I started bowling when I was 6 years old over at Main Lanes. My parents bowled every Friday night and my dad coached me a lot when I was just starting. As I got stronger personally my throw got stronger, and at about the age of 13, I began noticing that I could put a hook on my throw and get the ball into pockets, and from that time on I have done pretty well. If there is a weakness that I have it is that I haven’t done particularly well in tournament play and now as a senior I want to make major improvements in that aspect of my sport.”

Hannah Rush of Watkins Memorial competes in the 200 medley relay during a quad meet Jan. 18 at the Urbancrest YMCA. Although she said neither the 500 freestyle nor the 200 IM are her favorite event, Rush has shown significant drops in time in both events.
Watkins Memorial Roundup
Rush, swimmers eye postseason By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Watkins Memorial High School swimmer Hannah Rush is looking like a strong postseason contender in at least two individual events, neither of which the junior lists as her favorites. Those hopes are buoyed by the fact she won the 200 individual medley and the 500 freestyle in a metered pool during the Coshocton Invitational on Jan.
15. Her effort in the 200 IM (6 minutes, 24.18 seconds) converts to a personalbest 5:45 in yardage time. She clocked 2:46.25 in winning the 500 free. “The IM, I can’t really call it my favorite event; I do enjoy it,” said Rush, who was a Division I district qualifier in the IM a year ago while also qualifying with two relays. “I like the fact that I can do it and a lot of girls can’t. “And I’m swimming the 500 for the first time since my freshman year. To
be honest, I really like the 200 free. I’ve noticed my time drops are pretty significant in the IM and 500, though. So even if those aren’t my favorite events I know I can do well in those at the bigger meets.” Rush said she might have a more definitive idea as to which individual events she will enter in the postseason after the OCC-Capital Division meet Saturday, Jan. 29, at New Albany. The Warriors will be at a disadvantage, however.
“We’ve been to Coshocton three times now and seen a lot of the teams from that area. At the same time, we haven’t seen a lot of the swimmers we’ll see at OCCs,” coach Heather Faulkner said. “We definitely know more about the teams we’ll see at (the Southeast Ohio Swim League championships on Saturday, Feb. 5). “The good thing for Hannah and the See WARRIORS, page A6
Licking Heights Roundup
Maynard pins hopes on renewed motivation By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Nobody can accuse Licking Heights High School wrestler Jason Maynard of not living in the moment. The senior’s sights are set on qualifying for the Division II state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State. “Every day I’m thinking this is my last chance to make it. I know there’s no tomorrow after this year,” he said. “I wake up every morning and ask myself, ‘What can I do today to make it happen?’” Time is definitely running short for Maynard, who has advanced to the district meet three times. He won two matches at district as a freshman in 2008, but that’s the closest he has come to qualifying for the final weekend. Maynard went 1-2 at district a year ago while finishing with a 33-12 overall record at 130 pounds. “He’s really wrestling well right now, though,” coach Bo Ramsey said. “He just frustrates people so much. He’s very hard to score on. He’s really on a roll, maybe the best one anyone here has had since (2009 graduate) Chandler Jones (in) his sophomore year.” Maynard was 18-4 with a team-high 14 pins after he See LARSON, page A6 stopped Dominic Pelino with 1

At the Licking County Invitational on Dec. 18, he had four pins and defeated Austin Cariens of teamchampion Licking Valley 11-0 in the 140 final. “I got hurt as a sophomore and came back kind of sloppy last year,” Maynard said of a hamstring injury in which it detached from the bone. “For whatever reason, I just wasn’t really motivated. That might have been the case even at the beginning of this year. “I lost some early matches and that kind of woke me up. I’m starting to see what my training and what the coaches are doing for me. The guys who beat me at Medina, they were the second (Mike Griffith of Medina) and fifth-place (Aaron Thoman of Springboro) finishers. I’m practicing harder. I’m doing more every day.

NOTES Newark had won three of five games before playing Northeast, and late-season runs carried the team into the state tournament the past three seasons. The Lou & Gib Ice Arena remains one of the most difficult places to play in the league, too. “We’d like to get that kind of advantage on our home ice. They really get the crowd going there,” Northeast coach Mark Fixari said. “Newark and Athens, too, those are real tough places going into.”

Westerville and Northeast shared fourth place with 17 points each before the games of Jan. 21. The Generals’ remaining games include Thursday, Jan. 27, at home against first-place PRPC. They play Northeast on Feb. 3 and Feb. 12, and Westerville on Feb. 6. Also, a Jan. 20 game against Hilliard was postponed and has yet to kadams@thisweeknews.com be rescheduled. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
WARRIORS Continued from page A5 others is that the level of swimming we’ll see at OCCs will really push and challenge them. Those schools are at a level we’re not at yet.” The Warriors will compete in the sectional meet Saturday, Feb. 12, at Thomas Worthington. “We’re focusing more on distance than sprints with Hannah right now trying to get her time in the 500 down even more,” Faulkner said. “We’re re-enforcing stroke technique with everyone, too. We’re trying to get them into the right events, get our relays squared away. (This) week we’ll begin tapering down (practice yardage).” Rush said she picked up the pace in her training during the second half of December. The Warriors had eight meets that month. “I put in a couple of brutal weeks, definitely. Now I’m stressing quality over quantity,” she said. “It’s coming along.” kadams@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Speaking about what bowling has done for him, Netotian said, “Bowling has taught me the importance of sticking with something and that carries over into lots of other aspects of my life.

Downtown Johnstown
Group looking to highlight village’s special events By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Downtown Johnstown held its annual organizational meeting recently, reviewing its bylaws, opening up the downtown ice rink and planning to find a new director for the farmers market. Pat Kramer, who has run the market since its inception two years ago, has opened her business, Gifts by Us, which, she said, will prevent her from devoting the time necessary to the farmers market. “We’re looking for a new person to run it,� Kramer said. “My personal business would prevent
A closer look Downtown Johnstown president Chris Speck said the group is discussing opening up the farmers market to new vendors by relaxing the existing limit to homemade products.
me from doing that, so we’re exploring members of Downtown Johnstown to take that over.� Downtown Johnstown president Chris Speck said the group is discussing opening up the farmers market to new vendors by re-
laxing the existing limit to homemade products. “We’re going to open that up past homemade, homegrown this year,� Speck said. “I think we assumed other towns did it this way and that’s not the case. Other towns were open to everything. We were kind of exceptional in that regard. And we can still be subjective, if there is something we don’t find appropriate for the farmer’s market.� Kramer said many more sellers would participate if the limit were relaxed. “We have people here in town who have viable businesses but we could not let them in because
it wasn’t homemade,� Kramer said. “I think we could double our vendors.� The group also discussed adding other major seasonal events to Downtown Johnstown’s regular activities. The Cupola Classic Car Show has worked very well, but members would like to have a similar event several times each year. “We’d like to have one big event per season,� Speck said. “We want to emulate the success of the car show. We don’t want so many events that people don’t come to any of them because they get desensitized. We want them to be fun.�
The group held a working session Friday night to open up the downtown ice rink, but Speck said that was more of an activity than a major event of the sort the group would like to sponsor. “If the ice rink goes well this year, that would be annual, but we want events more than that would be,� Speck said. “There is talk of a garden show in the spring, which I don’t think would happen this year, but we could do some fact-finding, look around at some others so that we can put on a good one next year.� Kramer said the key to success is building sufficient awareness that people will begin to nat-
urally plan on attending the events, as they have begun to do with the car show and farmers market. “The hard problem is to get Johnstown people to do Johnstown things,� Kramer said. “We would like to have at least four things a year, so people start to recognize that there are scheduled events so everyone knows it, just like they know about Red, White and Boom.�
