Demolition planned for West Waterloo Street site 


Staff Writer 

Property owned by Canal Winchester on 

West Waterloo Street, that once housed an 

old gas station and a neighboring health 

care business, may soon see new life after 

action taken by Canal Winchester City 

Council. 

During its March 4 meeting, council was 

introduced to an emergency ordinance 

negotiating a demolition agreement with 

Franklin County’s Central Ohio 

Community Improvement Corporation for 

a vacant and blighted house at 26 W. 

Waterloo St. 

The property was purchased by the city 

in September 2017 for $144,352 with the 

intent of redeveloping the site together 

with an adjoining property where the county 

demolished a former gas station under a 

similar agreement. 

“It will make the entire property more 

marketable,” said Councilwoman Jill 

Amos. 

Development Director Lucas Haire said 

the city is working with the COCIC to 

demolish and remediate the site. The corporation 

is not charging Canal Winchester 

for the service. 

“It is likely there is asbestos in the 

house and remediation of that can be quite 

costly,” said Haire. 

Councilman Patrick Lynch wanted to 

make sure the city was not giving people 

the impression they were pushing the demolition 

through the system under the emergency 

process. 

According to Haire, the reason for the 

emergency language is eminent redevelopment, 

a fundamental step, and the driving 

force behind pursuing demolition–a 

month’s long process. 

While not required, the city is also presenting 

the plan to the Landmarks 

Commission as a courtesy.

CW Schools’ levy will not raise property taxes 

Canal Winchester school district voters face a ballot 

issue on May 7 that district officials assure property owners 

will not result in new school taxes. 

“The most important thing people need to realize is that 

this is a renewal,” said Canal Winchester Schools 

Superintendent James Sotlar. “We are not asking for any 

new money.” 

Renewal of the five-year substitute emergency levy provides 

more than $6.2 million in revenue, which accounts 

for more than 15 percent of the district’s operating budget

and allows the district to receive additional income from 

new development, residential and commercial without 

impacting existing residents. 

Because the levy is a renewal, it keeps a 12.5 percent 

state tax roll back in place, for which the state continues 

to pick up 12.5 percent of a property owner’s school tax. 

Canal Winchester Schools Treasurer Nick Roberts said, 

since the levy was last renewed in 2014, the collected 

amount has gone down two mills as property values have 

increased. 

“As value goes up, we need less to get to that 

$6.2 million,” said Roberts. “This (renewal) will 

DEMOLITION 

Continued from page 1 

“The timing of this is about three months from the 

county’s end,” Haire said, “and even more if there is 

abatement. We typically don’t allow any demolition 

unless there is a redevelopment plan.” 

Haire said there is active interest by a developer in 

turning the two-parcel site into a mixed-use, multistory 

project with residential units above commercial 

space below. 

“We should have an application before Landmarks 

at their March 25 meeting,” said Haire. 

In Nov. 2008, after a decades-long struggle, the gas 

station site–built in 1975–was demolished with 

hopes it would serve as an example of cooperative 

redevelopment between the county and the city. 

The crumbling structure was removed and village 

crews smoothed out the surface. Underground storage 

tanks were left in place because funding was not available 

at the time to remove them. They were later 

taken out by the county in late 2013. 

RECYCLING 

Continued from page 1 

The city paid for standard recycling, but the new 

fees–if each container was deemed to be non-recyclable 

material–would add over $22,000 to the weekly 

bill. 

In addition, city crews were routinely dispatched to 

pick up the excessive overflow surrounding the bins 

pick up new construction values. Once it gets approved, it 

(individual tax bill) could be even lower. It can go down 

every year with new valuation.” 

However, Roberts cautioned if the levy does not pass 

now or later in 2019 and expires at the end of the year, the 

district will need even more money because the loss will 

eat into Canal Winchester’s cash balance. It would also 

mean the end of the 12.5 percent state roll back. 

“With passage, we don’t expect we’ll need more new 

money in the next 10 years,” said Roberts. “2009 was the 

last time we asked for new money.”

Canal Winchester Library Branch 

The Canal Winchester Branch of the Columbus 

Metropolitan Library is located at 115 Franklin St. (in 

the rear portion of the former school at 100 

Washington St.). It is open Monday through Thursday 

from noon to 7 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 

noon to 6 p.m. 

Council was told by then Franklin County 

Treasurer Ed Leonard in 2007 that, although the 

county worked with the prosecutor to get the distressed 

property sold at a sheriff’s sale, there were no 

bidders. Franklin County then assumed ownership 

from the original owner and turned it over to the 

COCIC. 

The Ohio EPA issued a No Further Action letter in 

regard to the site clean-up. 

The COCIC spent $283,564 for environmental testing 

and remediation, nearly half of which was reimbursed 

through a United States EPA grant. The city 

spent approximately $21,990 for demolition, sidewalk 

repair and tree removal. 

The agreed purchase price was $75,000. However, 

at closing, the county credited the city against the purchase 

price for funds Canal Winchester previously 

expended. 

dumped there by residents and businesses. The city 

was able to recover addressee information from some 

boxes and dispatched deputies to the properties to 

inform people they could be fined for littering. 

The city recycling service ended last June 20 and all 

of the bins were removed.


New water meters help in leak detection 


Staff Writer 

Water meters may not be glamorous, 

but replacement of old meters with new 

technology throughout Canal Winchester 

has an unexpected benefit for utility customers–the 

possibility of detecting a leak 

long before it translates into an unexpected 

bill. 

City Water Superintendent Joe Taylor 

said the city started the five-year-long 

process in early 2017 of switching 3,300 old 

meters out and replacing them with new 

automated radio meters. 

He said the city-wide endeavor is nearly 

halfway complete and is expected to finish 

up in late 2020 or early 2021. 

“The project cost was around $400,000 

and was spread over four to five years,” 

said Taylor. “There was no additional cost 

to the property owners and there was no 

rate increase this year.” 

In addition to making data collection for 

billing easier and faster, Taylor said the 

new service alerts the water department 

when a property owner engages in water 

usage for 24 hours straight. It affords the

Drug Drop Box 

The Madison Township Police 

Department is providing an opiate prescription 

“Drug Drop Box” for the community. 

This drop box is located in the lobby of 

the Madison Township Police Department, 

4567 Madison Lane, and will be accessible 

to the public during normal office hours 

Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

department the opportunity to contact a 

resident within a few business days and 

notify them of the detection of a potential 

leak. 

“Once we have determined they may 

have a leak, we contact the resident or 

leave them a door tag,” said Taylor. “It’s 

important that residents make sure that 

our offices have the correct contact numbers.” 

According to Taylor, his department 

receives emails regarding leak notifications 

a couple of times a week. 

While a large, undetected leak under 

the new metering system could still result 

in a bill in the hundreds of dollars, with the 

previous system it could have cost a property 

owner thousands of dollars. 

“We caught a leak that was 68,000 gallons 

over a weekend and the bill was 

around $850,” said Taylor. “It was a busted 

line in vacant home. If the leak would have 

occurred with the old metering system, the 

leak would have been around 480,000 gallons 

and cost around $5,700 since it wouldn’t 

have been detected for another 28 days.” 

Taylor said under the old meter system, 

it might be as long as 60 days before the 

School bus safety bill 

On Feb. 25, State Rep. Richard Brown 

(D-Canal Winchester) introduced bipartisan 

legislation alongside Rep. Gary 

Scherer (R-Circleville) to increase safety 

for Ohio students by cracking down on 

motorists with multiple violations of passing 

a school bus with its stop arm activated. 

“This common sense legislation will 

increase fines and penalties for motorists 

who recklessly choose to pass a stopped 

school bus,” said Brown. “Rep. Scherer and 

I are proud to reintroduce this important 

bipartisan legislation to keep Ohio’s 

schoolchildren safe.” 

Under Ohio law, reckless drivers currently 

face a $500 fine and a class-seven 

suspension for passing a stopped school 

bus, with no increased penalty for a second 

offense. 

The bill would put Ohio on par with 

other states by allowing judges to impose a 

$1,000 fine and/or a class-five suspension 

of the violator’s license for any additional 

offense over a period of five years. 

Barber Museum 

The National Barber Museum in Canal 

Winchester is located at 135 Franklin St. 

(behind the former CW High School building). 

The museum, housed in approximately 

5,000 square feet, showcases art, 

artifacts, and memorabilia from decades of 

the barbering profession — from the early 

days when surgeons and barbers served as

water department would notice larger than 

normal consumption. Now, they are able to 

pick up increased consumption within a 

one-to-five day window. 

Even though the system identifies large 

leaks, it can detect much smaller ones as 

well. Councilman Mike Walker was notified 

of a potential problem that could have 

added $10 to $20 to his water bill. 

“Not only was there a trickle from the 

toilet, but we found a trickle from the garden 

hose as well,” said Walker, who 

received a call from Taylor alerting him to 

a possible leak. “I really appreciate the 

phone call and it showed me that the system 

works. I went right out, fixed the toilet 

and tightened up the hose connection.” 

While leaks can be detected with the 

new metering system, residents are still 

urged to pay attention to potential problems 

such as a leaky faucet or running toilet. 

“A commode can leak a few gallons per 

minute and there are 1,440 minutes per 

day,” said Taylor. “Contact the water 

department at 614-837-5623 for questions 

on leak detection.”

Facelift for railroad crossing 


Staff Writer 

The railroad crossing on Canal Winchester’s North 

High Street could be getting a facelift if the city works 

out an agreement with the railroad, similar to one 

upgrading the Gender Road crossing. 

The crossing is located near the Queen of the Line 

Depot in the local historical society complex. 

“We have been in regular contact with the various 

rail companies that have owned the tracks over the 

years,” said Contract Services Administrator Bill 

Sims. “During the 2017 planning efforts with Indiana 

& Ohio Railroad about upgrading the Gender Road 

crossing, we discussed the other crossings in town as 

well.” 

While not at a final “go-ahead,” the two entities 

have agreed to work together toward making mutually 

beneficial improvements at the crossing. 

“Once the design work is done and detailed estimates 

are prepared, if everything is agreeable with 

both parties, we will enter into a detailed formal agreement 

to move forward with construction,” said Sims. 

The primary reason for the city to pursue the 

improvements is safety for vehicular and pedestrian 

traffic. 

There are two issues with the crossing. First, the 

Beck is a 4-year-old shy guy. He’s 

still adjusting to being at the shelter, 

so his behavior is a little quiet and 

reserved. Once Beck is in his new 

home, he may relax and become 

much more social or he may need a 

little time and patience to come out 

of his shell. Come meet Beck at the 

Franklin County Dog Shelter.

Chopper is a sweetie. He is an

happens, he will want to cuddle all 

the time. Fred would make a perfect

vehicle crossing is rough and narrow. Second, there is 

no dedicated pedestrian crossing of the rails. 

Sims said both issues will be addressed. 

“I do not know when the crossing was last 

improved,” said Sims. “The number of trains using the 

track changes depending on their customer’s needs. 

Lately there has been an uptick in the train traffic. I’d 

estimate two trains a day.” 

Details of the improvement will be determined during 

the design phase. 

Sims said the basic plan is to build a wider crossing 

providing more room for vehicles and construct a 

pedestrian crossing on the west side of North High 

Street. 

The construction cost will be shared equally, with 

the city using available funds for their share of the 

project. 

“We successfully followed a similar partnering 

process for the improvement of the Gender Road rail 

crossing constructed last year,” said Sims. “The collaboration 

went very smoothly.” 

According to Sims, the design phase will occur this 

spring. Construction could be as early as this fall or 

possibly spring 2020. The extent of impact on traffic 

has not been determined, but any necessary road closure 

will be kept to a minimum duration.

Falling prey to time and change 

You know time is flying by when you begin to lose 

icons from your life. 

While people pass in and out of our lives, places 

seem to have more permanence. But when familiar 

buildings fall prey to time and development, that knot 

in your gut gets pulled a little tighter with each and 

every loss. 

In the bend at the end of our road in Hamilton 

Township, a stately two story brick structure, once 

home to my high school drama teacher and her family, 

was digested by a yellow metal behemoth in less than 

a week. 

As the mechanical beast gnawed away at the home’s 

bones, little bits of its history became evident. When 

its southerly wall was stripped away, the original late 

1800s portion of the house–sandwiched between two 

1960s era additions–was exposed to the elements. 

The brick and mortar, woodworking and glass that 

once embraced birthday celebrations, after-parties of 

long-forgotten high school theatre performances and 

served as a quiet witness to the joys and sorrows of 

family life is now flat land punctuated with mounds of 

broken brick. 

Deep ruts formed as steel bulldozers barreled 

through the muddy ground, sometimes frozen in place 

as gentle snowfalls brought temporary peace to the 

war between time and development. 

The foot-deep furrows were once a lawn, green and 

lush, full of life with the sounds of squealing children 

under summer skies. 

About two miles down the road, the place where I 

unknowingly met my husbandto-be, 

the Rickenbacker 

(Lockbourne) Air Force Base 

visitor control center, is gone… 

a victim of a long-ago federal 

project to reduce the number 

and size of military bases. 

The Airman’s pool where I 

first got an inkling that my 

then-boyfriend of two months was 

going to ask me to marry him is 

now a grassy field bisected by a 

road servicing a Rickenbacker 

Port Authority hangar. 

The church where we celebrated 

love–still as strong four 

decades later–before 200 family 

and friends? Gone and buried 

under an asphalt parking lot now 

married to a warehouse. 

The Non-Commissioned 

Officers Club (my husband was a 

sergeant at the time), a focal 

point of enlisted life and where 

we partied following our August 

wedding in 1976, is a field where 

farmers once plowed and warehouses 

now spring up like dandelions. 

Waist-high weeds dominate 

the small park where my husband 

proposed to me under an old 

oak tree in 1975. 

Places 

Linda 

Dillman 

The ghosts of my past often make me wonder about 

the lives lived in abandoned old houses that I pass on 

country roads. 

What was served at their breakfast table? How did 

they hang their stockings at Christmastime? Did the 

family matriarch iron her tablecloths or hope, like me, 

that the wrinkles would take care of themselves? 

When did those families know it was time to leave a 

place filled with memories and where did they go? Did 

their departure bring happiness, sadness or indifference? 

Now surrounded by warehouses, what range of 

emotions will fill me when that hungry mechanical yellow 

beast comes gnawing at my door? 

And who will wonder about the lives lived in my 

house as they pass by land left vacant by time and 

development in years to come?

record in the double deadlift event for the 250+ pounds weight class at 1,400 

pounds during the Arnold Sports Festival at the Columbus Convention Center on 

March 3. The two person deadlifting event features two lifters who pull one deadlift 

bar in tandem.
