Council hears community center plan By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Delaware City Council on Dec. 20 expressed support for a proposal by the non profit Second Ward Community Initiative to establish a community center at 50 Ross St., to be operated by volunteers. The building is currently owned by the city and partially occupied by the parks staff.
“We want to be able to provide more services in the community, because seniors won’t venture beyond their homes,” said Lamont Coates, pastor of the Second Baptist Church. “We have the Council for Older Adults on Cheshire Road, but many do not go there.” The center would be used for recreation, tutoring and other community purposes. The agreement discussed Monday would provide the facility rent-free to
the initiative, which would be responsible for raising funds and providing utilities and services such as Internet and telephone. Associate pastor Tracey Sumner of Second Baptist Church said the initial indications are that the community has significant support for the idea. “We’ve already started some fundraising toward any improvements,” Sumner said. “We would welcome any (financial) help we can get from the city,
but right now we have a lot of people around the city interested in what we are doing. Hopefully we’ll be able to raise enough for the work, a few thousand dollars for plumbing, a lot of sweat equity time to go in and do the work ourselves.” Council members Lisa Keller and Windell Wheeler said the group would need to prepare more detailed budget projections and take into account regulatory and insurance requirements for any services it may offer.
“The church I go to, we’ve had to institute a lot of things we never thought we would have to do or desire to do, but in order to carry insurance you have to institute some of these policies,” Wheeler said. “We don’t even allow kids to leave the sanctuary without an adult being with them.” Council member Lisa Keller said a revenue source should be identified.

Grant from CRAFTS AT THE LIBRARY Homeland Security gets support from county
Stapleton cites his experience working for state
By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Delaware County commissioners on Dec. 20 approved a preliminary application for a $365,000 federal Homeland Security grant that would buy some emergency-response hardware. On the shopping list are a flexible radio patching unit to allow mobile emergency responders to link incompatible radio systems, a new communications vehicle and bulletproof vests for emergency medical responders. “This is a preliminary submission ... to put in for some items through the Urban Area Security Initiative,” said Brian Galligher, director of the county office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. “It’s a large grant the city of Columbus receives but shares with the ‘metropolitan statistical area,’ the surrounding counties around Franklin County.” Galligher runs a three-person office that primarily works to prepare emergency planning documents and administer grants provided by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the state and local agencies that act as conduits for federal funding. “We do not have weapons or fire trucks (in the county office of Homeland Security),” Galligher said. He said most of the grants buy items for other departments. “We’ll buy for the sheriff, for the fire department. We’ll buy things for the coroner’s office out of an upcoming grant.” In the event of an emergency, the county office of homeland security acts as a central information clearinghouse. “If there is a large incident, we open the emergency operations center,” Galligher said. “We coordinate the emergency from the operations center, to make sure everything is flowing and we have resources so we know where to get things we need. We keep up (geographical information system) data so we know if something is affected downstream.” The response of the various units occurs according to plans and contact information prepared by Galligher’s office. “We assist in writing the plans that try to get all the different agencies to work together,” Galligher said. “If there is a flood, you would have fire (departments) and law (enforcement) out there, the health department, Red Cross. We have contacts for all of them and we are kind of the missing link.” The “Motobridge” component of the grant, which at $175,000 is the largest item, is the radio equipment device that can be used in the field to link otherwise incompatible radio systems. “We would use it to try patching things that don’t normally patch,” Galligher said. “Say the National
Newly seated Delaware County commissioner Dennis Stapleton said he expects his experience in state government will give him an unusual perspective on county office. He served as a state legislator from 1996 to 2003, and was state director of insurance under former Gov. Bob Taft. “I was a pretty doggone good state legislator and I enjoyed my time there,” Stapleton said. “I thought this was something I might be effective at.” Stapleton said he supports the practice of requiring matching local spending when receiving federal grants. “Any time you have sharing of revenues, it’s probably a good thing. The problem I have with it though is that we have a tendency to think federal money is not tax money. For whatever reason you hear all the time people say, ‘We didn’t pay for that, it’s not local money or state money.’ Well, we did pay for that. It’s federal tax dollars, which are our dollars.” Among the biggest policy problems he sees in Ohio is the use of property taxes to fund schools, which he thinks can never work because of the disparity in property values. “We have districts in this state where 1 mill will bring in $1,800,” Stapleton said. “Then we have districts where 1 mill will bring in $340,000. How are those districts going to compete? They can never keep up.” Despite opposition from wealthy school districts, Stapleton said the only policy that makes sense is to pool the revenue at the state level. “At some point in time, the state has to decide that it’s going to pool taxes and then distribute it back out,” Stapleton said. “I’ve met so many people who say they cannot afford to stay in their house because their taxes are three times what their mortgage ever was. There has to be a way to have a fair distribution for the schools.” Stapleton expects the state government to cut local funding significantly in the 2011 budget. “There may be some drastic cuts and levels of service provided in poverty guidelines that will be adjusted,” Stapleton said. “That’s

Downtown merchants say business is OK, not great By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers Downtown merchants report that business seems to be up this year compared to a year ago, but no one feels like boom times are here. “It’s been busy, very busy,” said Carlene Cutler, owner of DPS Antiques
and Collectibles, in its 12th year of business downtown. “We’ve had better years, but I think it’s a little better than last year,” Cutler said. “I know there are a lot of people that don’t have work, but it is the holidays.” Tami Furlong, owner of Fundamentals parent-teacher store for 22 years,

said her business is about the same as last year, and last year was strong. “I carry educational toys and children’s books, so December is always a good month,” Furlong said. “I haven’t really had time to sit down and run the numbers, but it seems about the same as last year. “I think our business was above av-
erage the last few years. As people were re-evaluating their spending, I think they were looking for more quality and more educational things, and they did not cut kids out of their budget they way they may cut out presents for other people in the family.” Business seems down at The Hamburger Inn, according to manager Donna
Rice, who has worked there 22 years. “It’s down,” Rice said. “It’s kind of hard for us to judge because (new owner) Bill (Michiliatis) just took over in March. Maybe on the whole things are better than last year. Our busy day will be Christmas Eve. It does seem See BUSINESS, page A2

like (orders for) pies are down. I have maybe close to 25 pie orders for Christmas, which I guess is about average, but there have been Thanksgivings where I’ve made 140 pies.” Michelle Runyon, a former accountant who has owned Chelley Belly’s for about four years, said she felt the economic downturn last year, but since then things have improved. “We notice just a small dip at the beginning of last year, then it went back up,” Runyon said. “Now we’re back to where we were last year. “The prior years, when we were first in business, it increased each year, but we noticed when the (recession) hit. December is usually a really good month. We’re losing college students (on Christmas break), but people have less time to cook at home when they’re shopping, they’re buying gift cards, and the hot drinks pick up.” Mel Corroto, owner of Beehive Books for the past three years, said business seems stronger this year. “We were building over our first three years and then when the economy went down, we absolutely noticed that,” Corroto said. “This year I do notice people spending a little bit more. It seems like they came in earlier, in November. It seems like people are wanting to spread out the expense. We’re pretty pleased.” Ed Paxton, owner of Woodland Cigar Co., said business seems close to previous years, although taxes and fees have gone up, resulting in a higher dollar volume if not higher net profits. “We’re up about 7 percent, but I think the numbers are up because the taxes are up,” Paxton said. “It inflates last year’s prices a little bit. When all is said and done, we may show small increase in profits, but not much. It’s hard to judge. On paper it looks a little better, but I’m still not putting money in my pocket.” One hit, Paxton said, was that state excise tax licensing fees jumped tenfold, from $100 annually to $1,000 annually. All the merchants described downtown foot traffic as being pretty good. “There seems to be a little more foot traffic,” Paxton said. “You hear about parking every day. That’s still a problem. The few merchants I talk to seem to be doing pretty well.” The Main Street Delaware First Fridays program has “helped our traffic quite a bit,” Runyon said. Downtown shoppers feel a commitment to downtown, Furlong said. “I hear from an awful lot of people who are really trying to shop local, downtown in general,” Furlong said. “I realize and they do, too, it’s not always possible. But it’s heartening to have such loyal customers.”
going to cause heartburn for us, because we may be asked to fund that through our own (local) tax revenues.” As a state legislator, Stapleton is used to having easy conversations with colleagues about policy, but county commissioners and township trustees, which usually have a body of only three members, cannot have such discussions without violating state laws that require business be conducted in public. “With three people, two of you make a majority,” Stapleton said. “I can’t just go down the hall and say to another commissioner, ‘What do you think of this idea?’” One idea to alleviate the problem might be to change the current practice of holding two business meetings each week and instead hold one work session and one business meeting at which votes are taken. “We might have a working committee that lasts most of the day, where we talk in open forum,” Stapleton said. “We could bring in experts and people and we could just have a working session. Hamilton County does that and it works very effectively.” Stapleton said it is an advantage that local governments usually do not have term limits. He said he thinks term limits weaken state legislators because they end up spending disproportionate time campaigning, planning for their post-legislature careers and learning the ropes, leaving little time for serious policy thought. “Eight years is too short,” Stapleton said. “I might support 12 years. But if you look at the dynamics of eight years, if you have

not already been in government, it takes a good three to six months to get up and running and understand the processes. To do anything meaningful in the state legislature is going to take you a couple of years, to understand an issue, get things passed and work on the rules. And in the meantime, you’re campaigning every two years. Then, with term limits, what we see is that about the fifth year in office, people start realizing they are approaching their last election and they begin to focus on what they’re going to do when they leave.”

You can buy cheaper versions of this, but one reason this is so expensive is you can plug in a radio, turn it to the channel you want, plug in another radio and tune it to the channel you want, and it will bridge between the two. It’s very user-friendly.” The grant also would pay for a communications vehicle, at $135,000, that provides room for three dispatchers and mobile meeting facilities, and body armor for EMS units at $55,000. “It’s basically a vest,” Galligher said. “If you have a shooting incident and people lying there bleeding, you want EMS to get to those people. If they have body armor it’s a safer situation. Traditionally body armor is for law enforcement, but if you saw what happened at Virginia Tech and other places, you want EMS coming in as quickly as they can.”

OWU news Beeghly to add new reading room Ohio Wesleyan University’s Beeghly Library will be renovated to include a second-floor reading room for patrons using the library’s special collections department. The Beeghly Family Special
Collections Reading Room is being funded by the family of L.A. Beeghly. The project will begin in the spring. Existing space will be used to create an 880-square-foot reading room and work area for people using the library’s three historic collections: the Rare Books Collection, the Ohio Wesleyan Uni-
versity Historical Collection and the Archives of Ohio United Methodism. The new room will be enclosed by glass wall partitions and will include a comfortable seating area with upholstered furniture, exhibit areas, research tables, ambient lighting and a work space with state-of-the-art equipment, ac-
CENTER PLAN Continued from page A1 “You can build a community center, you can program it, but if you can’t pay the electric bills next month, it won’t work,” Keller said. Initially the city would likely provide the facility rent free. City administrator Tom Homan said that if the program is a success, the city could consider charging rent for the facility at that time. The initiative estimated that some work could be done within 90 days. Council member An-
drew Brush said agreements would have to be finalized before work could be done. “Before there are any improvements made, we want to come up with a much more in depth lease and operating agreement,” said council member Andrew Brush. “Once that is in effect, then you could move forward with adding a second bathroom and that sort of thing.” If council approves an agreement with the Second Ward Initiative, then the organization will begin to seek grant funding to operate the center, Coates said.
cording to a news release. Beeghly, a co-founder in 1914 of the Standard Slag Co. in Youngstown, supported library and college building construction at several U.S. schools. OWU’s library was built in 1966 with a $1-million gift from Beeghly.
Rickey-Robinson week set at OWU Ohio Wesleyan University will observe Branch Rickey-Jackie Robinson Week from Monday, Jan 24 through Thursday, Jan. 27. According to an OWU news release, the event celebrates “the extraordinary legacy of these men in integrating Major League Baseball. Their actions to end racial
segregation in professional sports preceded and helped set the stage for the U. S. Civil Rights movement” of the 1950s and 1960s. The celebration will include a night of movies at the Strand Theatre, a one-man performance by an actor who plays Branch Rickey and a roundtable discussion. Rickey’s grandson, Branch B. Rickey II, president of Minor League Baseball’s Pacific League, will discuss the Rickey-Robinson legacy from his perspective. All events are free and open to the public. Some of the events scheduled for Rickey-Robinson Week include: • Take Me Out to … the Movies, 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 24, Strand
Theatre, 28 E. Winter St. Movies that celebrate Branch Rickey, Jackie Robinson and baseball. Free. • Chuck Chalberg as Branch Rickey will present a “first person” account of Rickey’s life at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 25 on Chappelear Drama Center’s main stage, 45 Rowland Ave. • Baseball Roundtable, 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 26. (Location to be announced.) Bob DiBiasio (OWU, ’77), vice president of public relations for the Cleveland Indians and host of SportsTime Ohio’s “Indians Roundtables” will talk baseball with Branch B. Rickey and other guests. Other events will be announced later. Visit http://rickeyrobinson.owu.edu.

Just thinking
Having coyotes as close neighbors is a bit unnerving Spotting coyotes in the back yard allows me to put the spiders I see in the bathroom into perspective. I mean, imagine if it were the other way around — spiders out in the yard and coyotes lurking under the bathroom sink. Of course, it sort of is the other way around, at least as far as the spiders are concerned. I realized long ago that trying to rid our century-old house of every last creature that crawls upon the earth was an exercise in futility, since what’s in the house is what’s under the house, and what’s under the house is whatever’s out there in the fields around us. Fortunately, some bugs of the field prefer to stay in the field, similar to the way certain people would rather tent-camp than stay in a motel, no matter how many cable TV channels are offered for free. Other bugs may want in, but most of them don’t make it thanks to their short legs and brief life spans. I figure if they start walking from the middle of the field, they die of advanced old age about three inches closer to the house
than they were when they started. The spiders who do make it into the house, I suspect, are the ones who have spent their whole lives directly underneath it, which would explain why our house spiders tend to be unusually enormous and strong. They’ve been sheltered by the house, for one thing, and they didn’t have far to travel, for another. No wonder my husband and I have been witness to some of the brawniest arachnids ever to swagger out from under the refrigerator. They’re like hothouse flowers, raised solely to flex their thighs of steel — all eight of them — and check out their reflections in the oven window. My point, however, is that while the spiders I see in the bathroom are in fact also running around in the fields, the coyotes I see in the fields are not yet running around in the bathroom. It may be just a matter of time, of course. Recent news stories about coyotes only confirm what people in my rural neighborhood already knew: Coyotes are here. We often listen to them crying at
night, and trust me, the wails, yips and yelps out there in the dark have an undercurrent of wildness that makes a perMARGO son glad to be BARTLETT safely indoors. It might be comforting to know that according to the Ohio Wildlife Center, only animals who weigh less than 45 pounds need to fear coyotes. It might be comforting, I say, but in fact it isn’t, because our dog weighs about 40 pounds and is singularly unprepared to fend off a coyote. In fact, I doubt he’d even see a coyote coming. He’d smell it coming, his nose tucked into the coyote’s tracks as if he were sewing the paw prints together with his muzzle, and he wouldn’t see the coyote itself until the top of his head bumped into the coyote’s throat. Even then, he’d probably want to play. This is so sad I can scarcely think about it.
The Ohio Wildlife Center’s website suggests pet owners not leave animals outdoors alone after 4 p.m. It also suggests — and this is even more alarming — that parents “keep an eye on small children.” I’m sure this is a good idea — it’s always a good idea, coyotes or no coyotes — but am I alone in thinking the tone of this friendly tip is a little casual under the circumstances? Perhaps children are less at risk than small animals, but I still find it difficult to assume that we need to worry less about them. Children are, after all, our young, and as such we tend to feel protective toward them. Incidentally, the 4 p.m. cutoff is intended to coincide with the onset of dusk, since coyotes are nocturnal animals. Supposedly. In fact, my husband and I have been seeing coyotes in the dead of day, so to speak. They seem to be watching us, which adds to our unease. It’s possible, I suppose, that the coyotes have young themselves and, in the manner of all good parents, are keeping an eye on us while their children sleep. It may be that
they are as afraid of us as we are of them. Wouldn’t that be funny if it turned out to be true? We could all share a laugh and learn a valuable lesson at the same time. Or wait. This isn’t an episode of Leave It To Beaver. It’s Ohio Wildlife, a reality show. I don’t
deny that coyotes are my favorite characters, but I’m glad that the ones in the bathroom are the spiders. Margo Bartlett is a ThisWeek staff writer. E-mail her at mbartlett@thisweeknews.com.

Conductive Education is an intensive learning approach for children ages 6 months to 18 years with mild to severe physical and multiple disabilities originating from damage to the central nervous system, in most cases diagnosed as Cerebral Palsy. Conductive Education is not a cure, but rather a learning system. A trained teacher (called a conductor) assists the children in specific exercise designed for each individual child. Repeating these exercises encourages the child’s brain to find alternative paths to muscle groups in the body allowing intentional movement. Conductive Education supports children to achieve age appropriate independence in movement, self-care, language and socialization.
A typical Conductive Education class: • Each child walks into the classroom, aided or unaided, depending on current need. Wheelchairs stay outside. • Stretching while lying on a plinth table. • Standing program: practice going from sitting to standing position, standing while holding onto a ladder, walking with the ladder (varies to meet individual needs) • Sitting program: hand-eye coordinated movement and communication skills while in sitting positions • Each class lasts approximately 3 - 5 hours. • Walking out: every child walks out of the classroom (aided or unaided, depending on current need).
Brighter Beginnings through Conductive Education is open in central Ohio and is now registering for Winter, Spring & Summer sessions. Please call or email today as space is limited.

Wrestling
Marion to provide final tuneup for OCC By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Delaware Hayes High School wrestling team will prepare for the 2011 portion of the schedule by competing in the Marion Harding Holiday Tournament on Wednesday and Thursday. “We use Marion as a tuneup for our league schedule and basically for the rest of the season,” said coach Josh Heffernan, whose team last competed on Dec. 11 in the Big Walnut Duals. “We have an agenda we had to get done during the
break in the schedule, but it was also important for the boys to take some time off to recharge.” Last season at Marion, the Pacers finished 10th in the 22-team field with 81 points as Lakewood St. Edward (248) won. Seth McCurdy won the title at 103 pounds. Tyler Daugherty was fifth at 215, Joel Calfe was sixth at 152 and Wyatt Davis was seventh at 112. “The Marion tournament usually has great competition,” said Heffernan, whose team will open the OCC-Capital Division season Jan. 6 at New Albany against
the Eagles and Olentangy Orange. “It’s our first two-day tournament, and the boys get a lot of quality matches in. I think it will be a good gauge for us. Thus far, I’m happy with all of our returning wrestlers. You can see their experience and maturity. Their offseason work is paying off.” Mat Giannakos leads the way with an 8-2 record at 130 pounds. “Giannakos has been a nice surprise,” Heffernan said. “It’s not that it’s shocking, because we knew he could have a big season. But he missed all of his jun-
ior season with an injury. You couldn’t tell it by watching him. He’s wrestling like he didn’t miss a beat.” Senior Daugherty (215) is 5-2, junior McCurdy (125) is 6-4 and freshman Wes Dunlap (103) is 4-1. Sophomore Skyler Helmeci (119) is 3-2, as is freshman Derrick Sumner (145). “We haven’t even been at full strength yet,” Heffernan said. “(Senior) Skylar Hess hasn’t competed yet because of a knee injury and (junior) Colton Christner broke his foot the second day of practice and is still a week or two away from
coming back.” Junior Zack Sumner is 4-6 filling Christner’s spot at heavyweight. Heffernan also is pleased with junior Andrew Nesselroad, who is 4-5. “He was a first-year wrestler last season who had a heart so he filled a spot in our lineup,” Heffernan said. “He played a role by just staying off his back. Now, in his second year, he’s winning matches and competing well at 135.” bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Holiday Classic still attracts nation’s top teams By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
At a glance
Dayton Chaminade Julienne High School girls basketball coach Duane Williams has no qualms about bringing a younger team back to the KeyBank Holiday Classic at Pickerington High School North. “We can go to Pickerington and not win a game and still get better,” he said. Last year, Williams accompanied a far more experienced team to North, where the then-undefeated Eagles dropped their opening game before regrouping to win their next two to place fifth. They didn’t lose again until reaching a Division II state semifinal and finished 29-2. Chaminade Julienne, which now starts three juniors and a pair of sophomores, is the only squad in this year’s eight-team field that participated in the event last season, aside from North. The host Panthers are the defending champions after defeating Louisville (Ky.) DuPont Manual 56-46 in last year’s final to win their home tournament for the first time since 2003. Still, even holding home-court
•What: KeyBank Holiday Classic •Where: Pickerington High School North •When: Tuesday through Thursday •Participants: Dayton Chaminade Julienne, Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit, Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Blackman, Lebanon (Ky.) Marion County, Pickerington North, Pittsburgh Mt. Lebanon, Twinsburg and Warrensville Heights •Tickets: Daily wristbands are priced at $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. There will be no singlegame tickets or all-tournament passes sold.
advantage is no guarantee of success. In between titles, the Panthers twice had to settle for being runners-up and posted four fourthplace finishes, including 2008. This is the 25th year North coach Dave Butcher has organized what has become one of the nation’s premier tournaments. It began as a four-team event at the school now known as Pickerington Central in 1986. It has featured future WNBA stars such as Sue Bird and Logan native Katie Smith in addition to a slew of nationally-ranked teams, including Pickerington’s USA Today national championship squad in
PACERS had 12 rebounds, five assists and eight steals. Sophomore Mike Wells added 14 points and four assists, and Braxton Coleman supplied six points and six rebounds. The Pacers harassed Big Walnut into 13-for-40 shooting from the field as they won their fourth consecutive game, including a 78-53 decision over Reynoldsburg on Dec. 18. In that game, Wells scored 25 points, Bingaya had 24 and Coleman added 14. The Pacers were 29-for-43 from the floor and 18-for-20 from the free-throw line. Bingaya is averaging 23.8 points per game. •The boys and girls swimming and diving teams will put in extra work over the holidays. The teams usually practice from 5:15-7 a.m. on school days at Ohio Wesleyan’s Meek Aquatic Center. But with Ohio Wesleyan also on break, the Pacers get more pool time. “We either will go from 7 to 10 a.m. or from 9 a.m. to noon, then the first week of January we’ll get the pool from 3 to 6 p.m.,” coach Bill Rietz said. “We nearly double our practice time and we nearly double our yardage in addition to working on specific spring sessions. The kids have more focus because in the back of their minds, they know they’re not going to class right after practice. The extra work is like we’re making our deposit in a bank and we’ll be ready to make a withdrawal in February during the postseason.” On Monday, the Pacers will have practice, go home for lunch and return later to compete in the Watterson Holiday Relays at Thomas Worthington. They will play host to Worthington Kilbourne on Jan. 5 and play host to the 39th annual Delaware Invitational on Jan. 7. Also competing in the event will be Bradley, Hilliard Darby, Hilliard Davidson, North Robinson Colonel Crawford and Watterson.

It’s the most prestigious and maybe has the best competition.” Several other hot prospects, including Warrensville Heights’ Nautica Davis and Blackman’s Amy Duke and Kortnay Cox, are sure to help themselves by playing in a tournament that attracts college coaches from every level.

The tournament also will feature several seniors who already have committed to Division I colleges, including North’s Kavunaa Edwards (Villanova) and Shelby Olszewski (Austin Peay). Among the others are Mt. Lebanon’s Madison Cable (Notre Dame) and Anna Kestler (William & Mary). “I contacted another team that’s been to the Pickerington tournament before, and I’ve only heard good things about (North’s) program and the tournament they run,” Blackman coach Chad Hibdon said. “We know that it’s a prestigious tournament that takes care of the girls and has a great

tournament and we’re excited to see all the great competition. We can’t wait to get down there and get going.” Twinsburg, which opened the season by defeating Walsh Jesuit 76-41 on Dec. 1 and could face the Warriors again if both win or if both lose their openers at Pickerington, is bringing one of the state’s top juniors in 6-foot-4 post player Malina Howard. Another underclassman to watch is Marion County sophomore point guard Makayla Epps, who was listed as the nation’s top freshman a year ago by some recruiting services.

1998-99. “We’ve only won maybe half of the tournaments since we started it,” Butcher said. “It’s not easy. You see a lot of different styles, and it’s about making quick adjustments. Playing three games in three days is pretty tough, too. To win it, you have to be the team that can hang the longest.” Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit, Twinsburg and Warrensville Heights are the other in-state participants. The field is rounded out by Lebanon (Ky.) Marion County, Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Blackman and Pittsburgh Mt. Lebanon, which captured a second consecutive big-school state championship a year ago while finishing seventh in the final MaxPreps national rankings. Twinsburg coach Julie Solis said she couldn’t resist an invitation to play in the event, which begins at 3 p.m. Tuesday with the first of four first-round games. Tipoff for the final is 8:15 p.m. Friday. Solis said she moved some games and even dropped some traditional opponents to make room on her schedule. “It seemed like it was going to be a great opportunity for us,” she said. “We’ve heard it is a well-run

Pediatric HealthSource
Pediatric urgent care, emergency department: What’s the difference? Urgent Care locations offer treatment for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that need immediate attention but are not serious enough to warrant a trip to the emergency department. Treatment for the following conditions is provided: minor cuts, minor/small burns, possible broken bones/simple fractures (facility will perform Xrays and initial treatment), sprains and strains, vomiting, diarrhea, asthma (mild or moderate wheezing), rashes, mild allergic reactions and fever. Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers five urgent care facilities (including the main campus office) with evening and weekend hours, and can be considered an extension of a community pediatrician’s office. Go to the emergency department if you feel your child’s problem is a true emergency, or for treatment of the following conditions: major trauma/injuries, injuries involving a motor vehicle crash or being struck by a motor
vehicle, a fall from a height, serious head injury with loss of consciousness, changes in TERRY P. normal beBARBER SR. havior, or vomiting, serious or large burns, obvious broken bone in the leg or arm, severe difficulty breathing, fever in infants eight weeks of age or less, severe pain and seizures. Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Emergency Department is one of the busiest in the country and is ranked third in the nation by Parents Magazine. From Jan. 1, 2008, to June 30, 2009, there were 120,929 visits to the E.D. and 276,908 total emergency services rendered. The E.D. at Nationwide Children’s Hospital provides expertise in pediatric advanced life support and resuscitation as well as evaluation and treatment in every area for acute medical and surgical conditions.
Talk with your doctor before your child gets sick about how to handle emergencies and inquire about the doctor’s policy on addressing medical needs outside of office hours. Having that information ahead of time will mean one less thing to worry about when your child is sick. If you think your child is experiencing a medical emergency or life-threatening condition, always call 911. In situations where calling 911 isn’t necessary, you should always call your child’s pediatrician or family doctor first to determine the best treatment option. If you think someone is poisoned, call the Central Ohio Poison Center at 1-800-2221222. Terry P. Barber Sr., M.D., is the medical director of off-site Urgent Care Centers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an attending physician at the Nationwide Children’s Westerville Close To Home Center. He is also a clinical associate professor of pediatrics at Ohio State.
