CW Schools review state results 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

The grades are in for the state 2017-18 State Report 

Card and Canal Winchester Schools received an overall 

grade of “D.” 

While the district consistently earned an “A” component 

grade for its graduation rate for at least the 

last three years–including the most recent reporting 

period–it also received an “F” in progress for the same 

time period. 

“Right now, we’re all disappointed in the grade,” 

said Canal Winchester Schools Superintendent James 

Sotlar. “(But) it’s not a true reflection of what’s going 

on. Never has, never will be. If you look deep into the 

details, our kids are making progress.” 

According to the Ohio Department of Education, 

the progress component looks at the growth that all 

students make based on their past performance. 

In 2017-18, Canal Winchester rated a “D” in 

achievement, “D” in gap closing, a “C” in K-3 at risk 

reader improvement and a “D” in prepared for success. 

Gap closing shows how well the district is meeting 

performance expectations for vulnerable students. 

Achievement measures student performance on state 

tests, overall test performance and chronic absenteeism. 

Prepared for success looks at how well students 

are prepared for future opportunities. 

For the 2016-17 school year, the district received a 

“C” in achievement, “C” in gap closing, “C” in K-3 literacy 

and a “D” in prepared for success. 

In 2015-16, the component grades were “C” in 

achievement, “F” in gap closing, “D” in K-3 literacy 

and a “C” in prepared for success. 

Unlike this year, overall district grades were not 

posted for the previous two school years. 

Statewide, 28 districts were awarded an “A”, 191 

received a “B”, 253 rated a “C”, 121 other districts also 

earned a “D” and 14 received a failing grade. 

Parent Patrick Chiles said the recent report card 

caught a lot of parents by surprise.

Water and sewer rates are going up in Canal Winchester, but 

customers will have two years to work the increases into their 

budget. 

“Our fund balances in the water and sewer funds combined 

with an increase in usage (revenues) and conservative spending 

have put us in the position to not raise rates currently,” said Canal 

Winchester Finance Director Amanda Jackson. 

During the Sept. 17 Canal Winchester City Council meeting, a 

pair of ordinances setting user rates for the next four years was 

approved for customers outside the special water allocation district–Canal 

Pointe, which is served by Pickerington–and those 

receiving sewer services from the city. 

Rates for 2019 and 2020 for domestic water and sprinkler rates 

per 1,000 gallons remain at $6.33 and then rise to $6.46 on Jan. 1, 

2021 and then $6.59 the following year. The bulk water rate 

charge per 1,000 gallons remains at $8.90 for the next four years. 

The sanitary sewer rate per 1,000 gallons is $5.88 for 2019 and 

2020, $6 in 2021 and $6.12 on Jan. 1, 2022. 

Currently, an average family of four uses 7,000 gallons per twomonth 

cycle and is billed approximately $85. Jackson said Canal 

Winchester’s rates are comparable to other area communities. 

However, she emphasized different rate structures and minimum/service 

charges make it difficult to make direct comparisons. 

According to the legislation, water and sanitary sewer user fees 

are adjusted at the beginning of the year, as necessary, to provide 

and maintain adequate operating and maintenance revenue and 

to meet debt obligations. 

Jackson said there were increases every year since 1998; however, 

there were no sewer increases in 2015-2016. 

“Before 2013 we had tiered rates–over under 4,000 gallons 

from 2006-2013 and then under 4,000 gallons, 4,000-20,000 gallons, 

and over 20,000 gallons from 2005 and earlier,” said Jackson. 

“In 2005 we started 

getting away from 

the tiered rates 

mainly because it 

did not promote 

water conservation 

and it allowed our 

base rate to have 

relatively minor 

increases–plus or 

minus two percent.” 

Jackson expects 

no changes to the 

approved rate structure 

unless something 

catastrophic 

happens.

Working to raise prostate cancer awareness 


Staff Writer 

A loved one with prostate cancer pushed Canal 

Winchester resident Linda Hoetger to work to bring 

awareness of the disease by soliciting proclamations and 

resolutions around the state. 

In June 2009, her husband, Ray, was diagnosed with an 

aggressive form of prostate cancer at the age of 56. 

“I never knew what prostate cancer was until we heard 

those devastating words, which are taboo to say in public,” 

said Hoetger. “When we first started on our journey you 

never heard men or families talking about prostate cancer.

Reynoldsburg 

I knew we were not alone and there were other families 

out there that had this disease. I am grateful that Ray was 

one who wanted to share our journey in hopes that we 

could also help families on their journey.” 

Hoetger said she saw proclamations and resolutions for 

other cancers, but when she started searching for ones for 

prostate cancer awareness in Ohio, she only found a few. 

“There needs to be more education about the disease,” 

said Hoetger. “One misconception is that it is an ‘old man’s 

disease.’ That is not true. I did not consider my husband an 

old man at 56. We have friends in their 40’s with a diagnosis 

of prostate cancer. And have a friend who lost her son 

in his 30’s who died from the disease. Prostate cancer does 

not care about your age or race. It will strike at any 

time.” 

In September 2013, she asked Governor John 

Kasich’s office for a Resolution for Prostate Cancer 

Awareness, but when told there were none, she 

asked what she needed to do to change the situation. 

A year later, the first resolution was written. 

Hoetger continues to have one signed every year. 

She pursues the same official recognition with 

cities, villages and townships and shares her story 

in emails as the wife/caregiver of a prostate cancer 

survivor. 

“Every time I found an email for an elected official, 

I had a letter drafted up and would send it to 

all the elected officials —mayors, council members 

and trustees,” said Hoetger. “The first couple of 

years, only a few participated, but now it is growing 

more and more with each year.” 

The couple attends city 

council meetings for readings 

and proclamations, 

such as a recent proclamation 

read by Canal 

Winchester Mayor Mike 

Ebert on Sept. 4. 

“We were one of the first 

to help you get this going,” 

Ebert told Hoetger. 

According to Hoetger, 

Ohio now has over 200 entities 

supporting September 

as Prostate Cancer 

Awareness Month. 

“Not only are the council 

members hearing the 

proclamation being read,

“Looking at trends over the last few 

years, there’s been a steep decline,” Chiles 

said before commenting on an increasing 

reliance on online course materials and 

testing. “I caution you against writing off 

the grades on the report card.” 

Sotlar said the State Report Card is a 

snapshot of what is happening, but said to 

get a true picture of the district, one must 

look deeper. 

“We are looking at the letter grade,” 

said Sotlar, “but you have to look at more 

than the letter grade. This is a measuring 

tool and we’re going to own it.”

“Some have said they are ready to share their journey

Fire chief’s story 

Madison Township Fire Chief Jeff Fasone said he was 

diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2015, close to his 50th 

birthday. 

“I was devastated, especially after reading about it on 

the internet,” said Fasone. “There is some pretty scary 

stuff out there.” 

Armed with information from a friend who had gone 

through the same situation and options provided by his 

surgeon, his prostate was removed on his 50th birthday in 

August 2015. 

“The surgical team sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to me as they 

were putting me under,” said Fasone. “Due to the nature 

of my work, I was off for a few months. A less labor intensive 

occupation could have returned sooner. There are 

three time periods that prostate cancer generally returns 

if it is going to, those being two, four and 10 years out. I 

have passed the two year mark.” 

Fasone said a PSA test is a simple blood draw, which he 

strongly recommends to any male over 40. According to the 

National Cancer Institute, the PSA test measures the level 

of prostate specific antigen in the blood. The level is often 

elevated in men with prostate cancer. 

Expanding the effort 

Building on her grassroots efforts, in 2018, Hoetger 

started sending emails to county commissioners, House of 

Representatives and members of Congress asking for their 

support. Many times she received an email back citing the 

impact prostate cancer had on the representative or their 

families. 

“Other families across the nation have asked for my 

help in getting proclamations and resolutions in their 

states,” said Hoetger. “I hope that one day families across 

the nation will know the support that has grown for 

prostate cancer awareness.”

Education approved a contract with Dr. 

Rochelle Dunn to provide student mental 

health services at a rate of $50 per hour, 

not to exceed $32,000. The position is covered 

by IDEA (Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Improvement Act) 

funding. 

Companion action approved the placement 

of three Ohio State University and 

one Ashland University mental health 

interns, at the rate of $10 an hour, in district 

buildings for the 2018-19 school year. 

The placement is also covered by IDEA. 

“Our goal is to remove barriers to 

achievement,” said Dunn, who is also an 

OSU professor.


Township fire stations to host 

Fire PreventionWeek events 


Staff Writer 

Fire Prevention Week in Madison Township is 

showcasing two stations this year with the week bookended 

in activities at Station 182 in Canal Winchester 

and Station 183 on Noe-Bixby Road in Columbus. 

Fire Safety Month is in October and fire departments 

designate the second week of the month as Fire 

Prevention Week. 

“Fire Prevention Month raises awareness of the 

dangers of fire and aids people in preparing for fire 

threats,” said Madison Township Fire Marshal Scott 

Hite. 

President Woodrow Wilson designated the first 

Fire Prevention Week in 1920. It is the longest honored 

public health and safety observance in the United 

States. 

Locally, the Madison Township Fire Department 

has station and truck tours scheduled at both stations, 

Decision on chickens 

Canal Winchester City Council upheld 

a Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation 

to deny a variance for Elizabeth 

Street property owner David Gilham to 

keep three chickens on less than the one 

acre city minimum. Gilham previously 

filed an appeal to council to overturn the 

recommendation, which was denied.

Leaf pick-up 

The city of Canal Winchester will begin annual curbside leaf 

collection on Oct. 1 and continue through Dec. 14. 

To avoid water backup in the event of rain, leaf piles must be 

placed behind the curb along the street. Residents are reminded 

that leaf piles may contain leaves only, as sticks, grass trimmings 

and other yard waste can cause damage to leaf collection equipment. 

Regular yard waste will continue to be picked up by Waste 

Management during scheduled trash collection.

Over the past five or so years, I’ve had a 

love/hate relationship with the prospect of 

turning 40. 

For me, it seemed like a huge jump to go 

from your 30s to your 40s. I remember 

when I was young, probably in my 20s, 

turning 40 was like hearing about this faroff 

land … a place you knew existed, would 

eventually get to someday, but couldn’t 

quite comprehend what that would look or 

feel like. 

I didn’t think of it as a dystopia-like 

place, but it wasn’t exactly utopia either. 

Some people say age is just a number, 

but those who go through midlife crises 

may disagree. 

I used to joke that on my 40th birthday, 

it would be just like any other day - nothing 

to see here, move along. 

Then I got sick - really sick. And there 

were a few moments where I began to wonder 

whether I would even have the opportunity 

to celebrate that 40th milestone, or 

have the choice to simply move along. 

Earlier this month, I turned 40, and 

although what I received was the gift of 

back-to-school germs from my oldest, I 

spent a lot of time reflecting on what it 

meant to me to hit that personal milestone.

Reflections on turning 40 

Life Moments 

Sure, turning 40 typically 

comes with even 

more gray hairs than I 

thought possible. I don’t 

get up off the floor quite 

as fast as I used to, and I 

now have to watch what 

I eat at night so acid 

reflux doesn’t keep me 

burning the midnight oil. 

I’m also a little more 

worried about what 

health concerns may 

start manifesting. It 

seems like that list of 

health screenings you 

Christine 

Bryant 

should start checking off, one by one, is just 

around the corner. 

Turning 40, however, comes some pretty 

great things also. 

Your teen years are known as the awkward 

years, but I remember plenty of times 

when I felt awkward in my 20s and 30s. I 

had a hard time saying no, and I cared 

entirely too much about what other people 


thought of me. 

I admit I still do care what people think 

about me, but only certain people - those 

who mean something to me. 

I’ve also felt a shift in my priorities. I 

feel more at ease now with knowing what 

truly matters in life, and though sometimes 

I drift off course, I actually have a course 

from which to follow that aligns with my 

ideals. 

You also begin to realize that what you 

thought would kill you, or what seemed 

like the end of the world in your 20s and 

30s, really won’t end your life. You’ll move 

on, and you have enough examples from 

your 20s and 30s to prove it. 

Lastly, while there are some aspects of 

getting older that increases my anxiety, I 

feel a little more free to take risks - to follow 

unrealized dreams - and let go when 

something doesn’t work out. 

Maybe that’s my own little personal 

midlife crisis - instead of feeling regret, act 

on something before remorse can creep in. 

I used to be afraid to turn 40, but I can 

say without a doubt, now that I am 40, I’m 

so very happy to be here.

The Eastside Messenger welcomes letters to the editor. 

Letters can be of any topic as long as they are not 

libelous. Letters that do not have a signature, address, and 

telephone number, or are signed with a pseudonym, will

One of the things I’ve noticed about getting older is 

how sudden realizations pop into one’s mind. 

We go along in life working and doing all the other 

things we do to live and maintain ourselves. We often 

don’t notice our bodies aging. We still think we’re the 

young people that are floating around in the memories in 

our brains. 

Then one day this thought bubbled up in my head: I 

can’t remember the last time I ran as fast as I could. 

It’s not that I’m inactive. I bicycle a lot, exercise, hike 

and so forth. I’ve even run slowly for short distances when 

I had to. I’m in decent shape. But when was the last time 

I sprinted? I mean, really pushed my legs to cover ground 

quickly. I don’t remember. Maybe it’s when I finally 

called an end to my basketball playing career when my 

knees said, “Enough!” some years ago. 

Running as fast as one can is common when you’re a 

kid and in our young adulthood. It’s a joyous experience, 

almost Walt Whitmanesque in its liberating physical exuberance. 

But, as the years progress we somehow find ourselves 

in fewer and fewer situations that call for flat out fast 

running. (5K race enthusiasts and Senior Olympians 

excluded, as I know they still have it in them and that 

makes me happy.) 

In general, as we grow older and supposedly wiser, we 

tend to not take chances with our bodies as hamstrings, 

knees, shoulders, feet, and various other bones and tendons 

balk at the 

idea of unnecessarily 

hopping 

a fence, jumping 

up or down on things, or 

sprinting a 100 yard dash. 

One of my fellow aging peers - 

who, when we were young, could 

jump over a picnic table lengthwise, 

easily walk along the top bar 

of a swing set like a high wire daredevil, 

and climb rocks like they 

were a ladder - recently mentioned 

he contemplated hopping the short 

distance from the floor to the first 

step of a staircase and wondered if 

it was worth the chance of making 

his knees complain. 

Things like running as fast as we

us without our consciously meaning for them to fade. 

Distractions of numerous sorts dictate to our attention. We 

start caring more about other activities and ideas that are 

different from when we were younger. But, as we get older, 

it makes one wonder what other common things we are not 

noticing as the years roll by. 

We change. We adapt. We grow in other ways.

Hip Hop 5K for Hip Dysplasia Awareness 


Messenger photos by Rick Palsgrove 

Amy Lee of Canal Winchester nears the finish line during the Hip Hop 5K for Hip 

Dysplasia Awareness held at Roger Hanners Park and through Canal Winchester on 

Sept. 15. Lee won the race with a time of 22:20. When asked if the course offered up 

any surprises, Lee said, “Just the heat. It’s hot for September.” 

Runners at the start of the Hip Hop 5K for Hip Dysplasia Awareness. The Hip Hop 5K 

Run/Walk was created to aid in promoting awareness and fundraising to assist the 

International Hip Dysplasia Institute in finding better and more efficient methods of 

diagnosis. As well as some less invasive forms of treatment to hopefully minimize the 

severe physical and mental repercussions of hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia means that 

the bones of the hip joint are not aligned properly. It is a painful process where the ball 

slips in and out of the socket, which causes the hip to wear out much faster than normal. 

Think of a car’s tires and how they wear out faster when the car is out of alignment. 

Surgery to treat the condition is long, painful, invasive and multiple surgeries are 

needed more often than not. For information visit hipdysplasia.org.



Madison Township police cruiser involved in crash 


Staff Writer 

A mid-August vehicle crash sent a 

Madison Township police officer to the hospital, 

an alleged drunk driver to jail and a 

police cruiser to the scrap yard following an 

accident on Hamilton Road. 

Madison Township Police Chief Gary 

York said the officer was driving northbound 

on Hamilton Road when he stopped 

at a red light near the Giant Eagle supermarket. 

Moments later, he was rear-ended. 

York estimated the driver, who had no 

insurance and was not licensed, was going 

more than 30 mph when she crashed into 

the officer’s vehicle, totaling the cruiser. 

“Her blood alcohol level was .226,” said 

York. 

In Ohio, the threshold for blood alcohol 

level is .08 and a high-tier level of .17 or 

higher results in stiffer penalties and 

longer jail time. 

During a Sept. 11 trustees’ meeting, 

York asked the trustees to approve the purchase 

of a 2018 Ford 150 Responder vehicle 

to replace the 2013 Caprice totaled by the 

insurance company, as a result of the accident. 

The state bid price for the truck is 

$34,951–plus an additional $3,045 for 

non-bid items, for a total of $37,996– 

including title and fees. 

York said he initially budgeted for two 

new vehicles this year, but decided to delay 

the purchases. Following the accident and 

the loss of the 2013 cruiser, he said it was 

now necessary to replace the car with the 

pursuit-rated truck. In 2013, the cruiser 

was purchased and outfitted for more than 

$35,000. York said the new cruiser, once 

outfitted and with the insurance reimbursement 

check, will be cheaper than the 

old cruiser was in 2013. 

“This would be a patrol vehicle, like the 

SUV we currently have, but it would be a 

sergeant’s vehicle,” said York, who said 

because of the truck configuration, it could 

serve a variety of purposes. 

“It’s sitting on the lot, ready to go with 

options,” said York. “Obviously, with a 

2019, we would pay more and have to 

wait.” 

The trustees unanimously approved the 

request.

Blacklick Estates resident Reese 

Kenney thanked Fire Chief Jeff Fasone for 

his assistance in resolving a decade-long 

fire issue. 

“I want to give huge kudos to Jeff 

Fasone,” said Kenney. 

Kenney said when Fasone recently 

asked her if she had any issues or concerns, 

she told him about a fire hydrant that was 

removed from her yard about 10 years ago

This Madison Township Police cruiser was rear ended in a crash in August. 

after it was repeatedly damaged by 

motorists. 

“I had a fire hydrant in my yard since 

the development was built,” said Kenney, 

“but after the umpteenth time (of car damage); 

they decided to take it out. I talked 

with Jeff Fasone, and within a week, he 

had someone out to look and after that, it 

was replaced. I now have a bright red fire 

hydrant in my yard and I thank him for 

quick action.”


Active Lifestyles 


A bi-monthly feature celebrating our 

community’s senior citizens 

e benefits of growing older 

Many people think of growing older in a 

negative light. 

Although there are some side effects of 

aging that one may wish to avoid, people 

may find that the benefits of growing older 

outweigh the negatives. 

Seniors are a rapidly growing segment 

of the population. With so many people living 

longer, it’s time to celebrate the perks 

of getting older rather than the drawbacks. 

Here are some benefits to growing old. 

•Higher self-esteem: The insecurities of 

youth give way as one ages, and older people 

have less negativity and higher selfesteem. 

Qualities like self-control and 

altruism can contribute to happiness. 

•Financial perks: Seniors are entitled to 

discounts on meals, museum entry fees, 

movies, and other entertainment if they’re 

willing to disclose their ages. Discounts are 

available through an array of venues if one 

speaks up. Seniors also can enjoy travel 

perks, with slashed prices on resorts, plane 

tickets and more. 

•Reasoning and problem-solving skills: 

Brain scans reveal that older adults are 

more likely to use both hemispheres of 

their brains simultaneously something 

called bilateralization. This can sharpen 

reasoning skills. 

•Less stress: As people grow older, they 

are able to differentiate their needs from 

wants and focus on more important goals. 

This can alleviate worry over things that 

are beyond one’s control. Seniors may realize 

how little the opinions of others truly 

mean in the larger picture, thereby feeling 

less stress about what others think of 

them. 

Growing older may involve gray hair or 

wrinkling skin, but there are many positive 

things associated with aging.

DAR application workshop 

Eight years ago, Dwayne R. Spence Funeral 

Home in Canal Winchester had its first annual 

Community Shred Day as a way of giving back to 

the community that has supported them for nearly 

50 years. 

Along with document shredding, each year 

Dwayne R. Spence Funeral Home partners with 

the Canal Winchester Food Pantry who takes food 

and monetary donations, the Lions Club who collects 

used eyeglasses, the St. Vincent de Paul 

Society who accepts clothing and household 

items, and TDR LLC who accepts used electronics. 

This is truly a community service day. 

Community Shred Day has grown each year, 

starting out with about 225 vehicles dropping off 

recyclable paper and other reusable items in the 

first year to nearly 650 vehicles in 2017. Since the 

beginning Community Shred Day, Dwayne R. 

Spence Funeral Home has been fortunate to have 

the continued service of Boy Scouts Troop 256. 

The Elizabeth Sherman Reese Chapter, 

National Society of the Daughters of the 

American Revolution, will hold an application 

workshop on Oct. 20 from 1-4 p.m. The 

workshop will feature information on completing 

all DAR applications and is open to 

anyone interested in working on DAR 

applications. Bring with you as much information 

as possible on your family genealogy 

and your patriot ancestors, if known.

Community Shred Day 

The Scouts and their leaders show up in force to 

help unload the boxes of paper and documents 

from vehicles and place them in the shredding 

containers. This makes it very convenient for participants 

who do not need to get out of their vehicle 

or lift heavy boxes. The Scouts are able to use 

their service on Community Shred Day towards 

earning the “Pulp and Paper” merit badge. 

Dwayne R. Spence Funeral Home is pleased 

that the citizens of Canal Winchester choose them 

and their shred company, Royal Document 

Destruction, to eliminate old and outdated paperwork. 

Royal Document Destruction was chosen 

to shred documents on-site because of their reputation 

and their security measures in dealing with 

vulnerable documentation. 

Dwayne R. Spence Funeral Home invites the 

community to their 9th Annual Community Shred 

Day event at the Canal Winchester location on 

Saturday Oct. 6 from 9 a.m. -1 p.m. 



e Franklin County Office on 

Aging’s role in fighting hunger 

Feeding America has declared 

September “Hunger Action Month.” 

The Franklin County Office on Aging 

takes an active role in ensuring that older 

adults in Franklin County have access to 

the food assistance services they need to 

preserve their independence and quality of 

life. 

Food assistance services are ones that 

address the needs of those who are struggling 

to either gain access to food or prepare 

their meals. Franklin County is a 

service rich community that offers a myriad 

of services to combat hunger and these 

services are a vital resource to older adults 

residing within our community. It is a priority 

of the Franklin County Office on 

Aging, through the Senior Options program, 

to provide both the connection to and 

funding for food assistance services such as 

home delivered meals and nutritional supplements. 

In 2017, Franklin County Senior 

Options was able to provide approximately 

673,000 home delivered meals as well as

Remembering 9-11 


Messenger photos by Rick Palsgrove 

Madison Township police and firefighters march at the beginning of the 9-11 Memorial 

Service held at Motts Military Museum in Groveport on Sept. 11. “Our goal is to never 

let anyone forget what happened on Sept. 11, 2001,” said Motts Military Museum 

Director Warren Motts. The service was held in remembrance of the nearly 3,000 people 

who died during the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, the 

Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and United Flight 93 which crashed in Shanksville, Pa. 

Peter “Dan” Burrill (left) and Dan Kockensparger, who were the guest speakers at the 

service, place the Memorial Wreath in front of the damaged Ladder Truck 18 from the 

Fort Pitt Fire Station from the Fire Department of New York, which was damaged on 

Sept. 11, 2001 and is now part of the Motts Military Museum collection. Kockensparger, 

who served 33 years with the Upper Arlington Fire Department and who was deployed 

to the World Trade Center collapse with Ohio Task Force One, said when he arrived in 

New York in 2001 the scene at World Trade Center site was “beyond what the mind 

could comprehend. Despite the passing of 17 years, the images remain vivid.” Burrill 

was a member of the Alaska Disaster Medical Assistance Team 1 that traveled to New 

York after the attacks. Burrill described the aftermath of the attacks as an “overwhelming 

scene and he recalled treating a tall, strong recovery worker who had received a 

deep, four inch gash on his arm. Burrill said the man told him, “You’ve got five minutes 

to sew me up or else bandage me up fast because I’m going back out on the pile to 

work.” “There are things I’ll never forget,” said Burrill. “It’s important to remember that 

bonds are built during traumatic events.” 

Madison Township Fire Department retired Capt. Steve Arms (right) and firefighter 

Jason Loucks ring a bell in tribute to those who fell on Sept. 11, 2001.


I want to get this complaint out of the 

way before I begin the review for “A Simple 

Favor” and it is directed at the studio who 

produced this film. To whomever it may 

concern, the marketing was pitiful and at 

no point should the person in charge be 

tasked with promoting a film of this nature 

ever again. 

It was clear from watching this film that 

this person or persons had no idea how to 

pitch the concept to an audience. In one 

trailer, it was billed as a straight comedy. 

In another, a thriller. At no point in time 

did it convey the truth of this film and that 

is one of ridiculous trash. And I truly mean 

that in the best way possible. 

“A Simple Favor” is a bizarre, off-thewall 

(and rails) dark comedy with bite and 

wit. It’s one of the most entertaining films 

of the year and yet one of the strangest as 

well. 

It opens with not-so-popular vlogger 

Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) 

preparing to make feel better cookies for 

those low in spirits. As she’s readying the 

batter, she launches into why she felt it 

was important to make these particular 

cookies as she is struggling with the recent 

disappearance of her best friend. 

Flashing back to the weeks prior, we see 

Stephanie, who is generally viewed by her 

peers as an uptight, lonely spinster, signing 

up for a majority of the festive activities 

in her son’s elementary classroom. After 

hearing pointed comments about her lack 

of doing, well, anything else other than 

crafts, she tries to strike up a friendship 

with the mother of her son’s new playmate. 

At first, people think she is out of her 

depth for wanting to befriend Emily Nelson

I want thank everyone who supported

Station 183 on Noe Bixby Road. 

The recent ribbon-cutting ceremony for 

the new station was a success. The support 

and vision of our current trustees Ed 

Dildine, John Kershner and John 

Pritchard and fiscal officer Laurie 

Vermeer, along with past trustees Gary 

McDonald and Victor Paini and retired fiscal 

officer Barb Adams was crucial.

Then one day, Emily asks Stephanie for

Upon receiving confirmation of her 

death, Stephanie and Sean begin a romantic

Station 183. I appreciate the many hours

individuals. A special thank you goes to the 

Bepler family for their “substation room” 

next door that allowed the medic crew to 

stay in the area and take runs prior to the 

opening of the station. 

The continued support from the city of 

Groveport, city of Canal Winchester and 

village of Obetz is important to our department. 

I want to extend a special thank you 

to all the elected officials from those entities 

that attended the ceremony. Thanks 

also to our firefighters and the firefighters 

from the neighboring departments of 

Columbus, Violet and Truro townships who 

were also in attendance.

mind, yet sabotage does. ‘Is Emily still 

alive?’ she wonders. And if so, why is she 

hiding and trying to frame others for her 

death? Or maybe Stephanie is not so innocent 

after all. 

From start to finish, “A Simple Favor” is 

utterly bonkers and it revels in the fact. 

There are twists and turns and while most 

of those go nowhere, they are essential to 

the messy plot. 

This film goes all over the place and the 

actors are game, particularly Kendrick and 

Lively. I’ve never been a big fan of Lively’s 

acting, but she is so good in the role of 

Emily. She’s the kind of morally ambiguous 

character I think most actors would love to

Coming from director Paul Feig, who is

an unexpected, demented delight that was

Hydrant flushing 

Canal Winchester’s Division of Water 

opens fire hydrants in the community twice 

a year during its fire hydrant flushing 

schedule. 

Hydrant flushing allows water to flow 

through pipes, enhancing water quality by 

clearing sediment from mainline pipes. 

Flushing verifies proper operation of 

hydrants and valves and maintains firefighting 

capabilities. Fire hydrant flushing 

will be from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday— 

Friday, through Oct. 5. 

The water department offers tips for 

when crews flush hydrants in your area: 

•If you see a hydrant being flushed on 

your street, avoid running tap water, washing 

machines or dishwashers until flushing 

in your area is complete. 

•If you see hydrant flushing crews 

working, drive carefully and treat them 

like any other road construction crew. 

During or immediately following 

hydrant flushing, tap water may appear 

discolored. Although a slight discoloration 

may last for a few hours, it does not affect 

the taste or quality of the water. This discoloration 

only affects the appearance of 

the water and poses no health threat. 

Should you notice discoloration or other 

side effects from hydrant flushing, the 

water department suggests: 

•If you encounter discolored water, shut 

your water off and wait several minutes. 

After waiting, check the clarity by running 

cold water for a few minutes to allow new 

water to flow into your pipes. If the water 

is still discolored, wait a few minutes and 

check again. In some cases, it may be a few 

hours before the water is completely clear. 

•Avoid washing laundry during scheduled 

flushing hours. After hydrants in your 

area are flushed, wait until water runs 

clear from your tap, then begin with a load 

of dark laundry before doing lights or 

whites. 

•If water pressure or volume seems low, 

check faucet screens for trapped particles. 

For information about the fire hydrant 

flushing program, including when the city 

will flush in your area, contact Canal 

Winchester’s Division of Water at 614-837- 

5623.
