CW Schools’ levy passes
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Canal Winchester Schools voters gave
approved a five-year, no new taxes substitute
emergency levy on May 7.
Unofficial results from the Franklin
County Board of Elections show 1,615 for
the levy (79 percent) with 442 voting
against it (21 percent). (This includes the
votes from Fairfield County.)
“The passage of the renewal levy will
keep us focused on our current programs
and financial stability,” said Canal
Winchester Schools Superintendent James
Sotlar. “Great schools and great communities
go hand-in-hand and this is a great day
for both.”
Sotlar thanked the community for its
support of the schools and students, as well
as volunteers and staff on getting out information
on the levy.
“Our schools are a great source of pride
in the community and we will continue to
find innovative ways to save taxpayer
money while still providing our children
with educational opportunities and career
pathways for their future, said Sotlar.
Renewal of the levy provides over $6.2
million in revenue. The levy accounts for
more than 15 percent of the district’s operating
budget and–with its passage–
allows the district to continue to receive
additional income from new development,
residential and commercial without
impacting existing residents.
Sotlar previously said the levy was critical
in providing financial stability and
maintaining daily operations such as personnel
costs, utilities, building improvements,
curriculum and busing.
Because the levy is a renewal, it keeps a
12.5 percent state tax rollback in place, for
which the state continues to pick up 12.5
percent of a property owner’s school tax.
According to Canal Winchester Schools
Treasurer Nick Roberts, since the levy was
last renewed in 2014, the collected amount
has gone down two mills as property values
have increased. As property values go up,
the district needs less to get to that $6.2
million and with new construction values
added into the formula, individual tax bills
could even go lower.
Schools, city team up for fitness
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Fitness in Canal Winchester will take
on a new look with 20 fit stations installed
on school and city property through a partnership
between Canal Winchester Schools
and the city of Canal Winchester.
After securing a $74,000 grant from
Battelle to provide “Cardio in Canal” fitness
stations at Westchester Park, Canal
Winchester Middle School and between the
Indian Trail and Winchester Trail elementary
buildings, the school district is
embarking on the district-wide project
based learning (PBL) experience.
Locations were determined with the
help of high school student groups to
involve all school buildings with easy community
access. Over the 2019-20 school
year students will work, during and after
school, on fitness plans for the fit stations
that include physical and mental wellness
benefits.
“Where this project kind of took off was
during a district STEM committee meeting,”
said Brigid Krueger, the district’s
family engagement/communications liaison.
“Members were sharing what was
going on in each building and everyone was
doing something health/heart related.
Then the idea came about to do something
district wide. They applied for the grant to
get the ball rolling. In looking at our STEM
(science, technology, engineering, math)
network and working with other school districts,
we are not aware of another district
engaging in a district-wide PBL.”
City Public Service Director Matt
Peoples said the school district is taking
the lead on the project and while they had
space at other schools, the high school campus
was eliminated because it is more constricted.
“They approached us and we suggested
Westchester Park as the site,” said
Peoples. “Our approved concept plan (for
the park) had fitness stations but they
were not included in our Natureworks
grant application. The city will be providing
assistance to install at all locations,
and providing mulch and timbers for the
Westchester Park site.”
Peoples said the city always partners
with the schools anywhere it can.
“This project is a great collaboration to
get the stations installed to help with the
overall health and wellness of our residents

Recycling returns to CW

Recycling has returned to Canal
Winchester thanks to three high school
students who are passionate about helping
their community divert trash from
landfills into a viable resource.
“Several of the council members have
been looking into trying to find solutions
for our recycling dilemma,” said Canal
Winchester City Councilwoman Jill
Amos. “When the students first came to a
Community Coffee with their ideas, we
could not have been more excited. Our
youth is leading the charge in our community
and willing to help make this a possibility.
These three students are taking
their commitment to a whole new level.”
Abigail Hall, who, along with fellow
students Austin Keyse and Bryce Palmer,
sought city council approval in March and
started the program less than two months
later. She said the trio came across a
scholarship last fall called the Paradigm
Challenge in which students come up
with a plan on how to help their community.
They chose waste management with a
focus on recycling and though all they had
to do was come up with a plan, they wanted
to go beyond the challenge and take
their ideas to the community.

The Madison Township trustees are seeking
answers to dwindling resources and deteriorating
roadways.
“If anybody drives on township roads, they know we
have some issues,” said Madison Township Trustee
Chairman John Pritchard on May 14 before asking
Public Works Superintendent Dave Watkins what
would happen with the roads if nothing was done.
Watkins replied, “The roads would just turn into
gravel.”
According to Watkins, it costs approximately
$150,000 per mile to renovate a road, money the township
doesn’t have. The longer the wait, the more work
and more expensive the situation becomes.
While maintaining roads in developments like
Blacklick Estates is an ongoing battle between time
and resources, Watkins said country roads also need a
lot of work.
“It seems every day we fall behind a little more,”
Watkins said. “We’re down one person, but doing the
best we can.”
Pritchard said the last time the township asked for
approval of a road and bridge levy was 18 years ago

as well as being good stewards of public funds by sharing
resources,” said Peoples.
While installation is expected to begin later this
year, an official ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held
in June 2020 for the community.
RECYCLING
Continued from page 1
“Our original plan was to get curbside recycling,
but that was not doable because of the city’s contract
with Waste Management, so we went for the next best
option and that is how we came up with community
recycling days,” said Hall. “This most difficult part of
coordinating an effort like this is finding people that
are dedicated to the same path and willing to help
through all stages. We have been more than lucky
though to have the help of the city council and Waste
Management.”
For Hall and her fellow organizers, the most
rewarding part of watching their idea come to life is
seeing how excited other community members are
when they drop off their recycling.
“We see on social media and even in passing conversations
that there are many in our community who do
choose to continue recycling,” said Amos. “There are
also many others who have expressed that it is not
convenient to haul it around to the different locations
hoping for a container that is not full. We are also
choosing to volunteer our time on collection days
because it is important to the community and to help
show the continued interest in recycling as we begin to
look towards our waste removal contract in 2020.”
Amos said help from city staff, such as Public
Service Director Matt Peoples, in arranging meetings
to helping facilitate collection days is “amazing.”
“I am so appreciative of our city and staff that
stands behind its youth leadership and also want to
thank Waste Management and Brooke Standley for
helping to make this happen,” said Amos.
Resident Sharan Boehmer, who dropped off a load
of items during a May 4 collection drive, said she likes
the idea of having a scheduled time and place to bring
her recyclables because she does not like tossing

Township roads in need of repair
and it was “shot down.” Throughout the years, as costs
increased, the road department shrunk. At one time,
there were seven to eight workers.
The number of employees today is much smaller,
but the coverage area has remained relatively the
same.
“This is not something that just hit us,” said
Madison Township Administrator Susan Brobst. “We
really struggle with what we can do. We’ve got to start
working towards some solutions.”
Pritchard said the township has four options: do
nothing and let the roads continue to deteriorate; consider
inside millage; ask for a general fund levy, which
impacts all township voters or go to the ballot with a
road levy, which impacts property owners in unincorporated
areas of the township.
Trustee John Kershner said the township is waiting
on updated data before moving ahead.
“The bottom line is we need money,” Pritchard said.
“We’re desperate to fix the roads. I want folks to know
what we’re facing. It’s going to cost money. If we want
roads that aren’t going to fall apart and turn to gravel,
we need money. We’re at that point where we need to
address it and do the right thing.”
Krueger said the district is looking for other interested
partners with expertise in healthy living and fitness
to expand the project’s vision. For more information,

things in the trash.
“I don’t have to worry about trying to find a bin that
isn’t filled up, like they were over by Stradley Place,”
said Boehmer. “I think its wonderful young people are
doing things like this.”
On the first and third Saturdays of the month, from
9 a.m. until 2 p.m., teenage and adult volunteers staff
the recycling drive in the parking lot shared by the
Indian and Winchester Trail elementary schools.
Recyclables are tossed into bins donated by Waste
Management, who picks up the containers later in the
day for further processing.
“We accept all recyclable materials except for glass
at the moment,” said Hall. “Before people drop off their
recycling, the best thing to do is sort it into two groups,
one being paper and cardboard and the other all other
recyclables. They want to rinse out any containers so
that there are no remnants of food and whatever may
have been in the container.”
Hall said residents can bag their recycling, but it is
not necessary. It can be brought in containers or a
cardboard box. Accepted items include recyclable plastic,
aluminum, paper, cardboard, and steel.
“Our long term goal is curbside recycling,” said
Hall. “Our hope with the Community Recycling Days
is that a majority of the community will be choosing to
recycle, which will be obvious to Waste Management
due to their awesome involvement in our project. Then
curbside recycling will be an option for our next contract
in 2020 with Waste Management. Other than
that, we want to educate the public on how they can
become aware and reduce their impact on the world so
that we can make it a safer and cleaner environment.”

Making beautiful quilts for veterans
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Canal Winchester quilters are honoring local veterans
in a cozy way with handmade quilts.
With sewing machines humming in the background,
Quilters on the Canal meets weekly to work on
personal projects and create patriotic projects in red,
white and blue with fabric swatches detailing veteran
service records.
“I was aware of the national organization, Quilts of
Valor. It’s a wonderful organization. However, VFW
Post 10523 had their meetings in the Community
Center where we met every week,” said quilt group
leader Joyce Barrett. “Why would we make quilts and
send them away when we had veterans right here in
our own community? So, in 2014, we gave our first
quilt to (veteran) John Crabtree. It is always an honor
when I hand a veteran his or her quilt in person.”
Many of the ladies have made and donated several
veterans’ quilts. Barrett, who quilts all of the finished
tops on a long-arm quilt machine, said there are
always two or three under construction and the VFW
post supports the quilters with donations of fabric, batting,
backing and thread.
VFW Post 10523 Commander Rick Williams said
his members have overwhelming accepted the ladies
and their quilts since the program began five years
ago.
“The quilters were meeting at the community center,
where we also meet, and they said they wanted to
do something for the vets,” said Williams. “The majority
of our members are Vietnam vets. I thought it
would go over big, and it did. About 50 of our members
have received quilts. They’re very proud to receive
them and in the future, the quilts will be keepsakes for
the family. They’re a great group of ladies and I think
the maker takes real pride in seeing the recipient.”
One of those “makers” is Sue Cerkan, whose husband
is a retired Air Force veteran. Although she’s
only been quilting for a little over three years, she is
working on her fifth military quilt.
Cerkan said she sews the quilts because it is important
to honor veterans and to know what they’ve gone
through. As a retired military wife, she is aware of the
sacrifices veterans made in service to the country.
“It’s important to make the quilts and let them
know we care,” said Cerkan. “It’s nice when we get to
meet them when the quilts are presented.”
Helen McGuane’s husband is also an Air Force veteran.
One of her brothers served in the Army and
another was in the Marines. She has made two military
quilts and is working on her third.
It takes her two to three weeks to complete work on
the quilt, depending on how much time she has to
devote to cutting out fabric pieces and sewing.
“It’s enjoyable because you know the person receiving
the quilt will appreciate it,” said McGuane. “I know
a lot of the veterans in town and we’re looking forward
to making more quilts. Getting together on Mondays to
work on the quilts is a nice social gathering. It’s a nice

way to share the time.”
Barrett said when the 50x60-inch quilts are finished,
she prepares a label after Williams gives her the
name and service record of the recipient, which is
attached to the back of the quilt. Four dozen quilts
have been given to veterans by Quilters on the Canal
since 2014.
“We try to have a quilt ready for each monthly
meeting,” said Barrett. “On several occasions, we have
presented the quilt in the home of the veteran. If a veteran
has passed away, we still give a quilt to the
spouse. We started with the World War II veterans
first unless a more recent veteran was very ill. We are
now making quilts for the Vietnam veterans. When
every member of VFW Post 10523 has received a quilt,
I will look for friends who have veterans in their families.”
Quilters on the Canal meets at the Frances Steube
Community Center on Monday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Don’t get scammed by “e Hustle”
In an attempt to make older properties
feel more relevant to today’s times, movie
studios have begun to gender swap their
relics to give off the faint whiff that they
are doing something original.
Sometimes the idea works and the product
feels new and fresh and sometimes it
backfires and a stale stench lingers over it.
The latest film to receive the swap treatment
by a studio is “The Hustle,” a re-envisioning
of the 1988 con caper “Dirty Rotten
Scoundrels” starring Michael Caine and
Steve Martin. Throughout the years, that
film has reached comedy classic status due
to its sheer absurdity and twist ending,
thus casting a long shadow for any follow
up. As its more modern counterpart, “The
Hustle” already had too much to live up to
and it unsurprisingly feels like a pale imitation
of its elder version. With that being
said, it has a few shining moments of its
own so it is not completely devoid of any
merit.
It begins with the introduction of Penny
Rust (Rebel Wilson), a small-time scammer
who finds her marks through dating apps.

The writers wanted it
known that Wilson is
the lead who has a
conscience. Her character
makes her decision
on who to scam
based on how the target
treats her. For
example, if she meets
a guy and he is nice to
her, she leaves him
alone. If she meets a
guy and he is rude,
the scam if a full go.

When we officially meet her, she is in
“full go” mode, trying to bilk $500 from a
shallow man jerk (played brilliantly by

when it seems she is about to score some
quick cash, the cops bust up the party
thanks to a tip from a recently burned
mark.
While on the run, she spots a magazine
article about a lavish sea-side town in
France that is overflowing with wealthy
people. Having nowhere to go now that the
local authorities are onto her, she decides
that she needs a change of scenery and the

up scamming her way into a con artist

also doesn’t have the level of absurdity and

It’s mosquito season!
The city of Canal Winchester has contracted
with Franklin County Public
Health for mosquito control in 2019.
Franklin County Public Health takes a
proactive approach to mosquito management,
using tools and techniques throughout
the season to help control the mosquito
population, these include:
•Surveillance of adult mosquito populations
by setting traps weekly throughout
the county.
•Larviciding areas of stagnant water
and storm water catch basins to prevent
mosquitoes from hatching in these prime
breeding sites.
•Testing of adult mosquitoes for the
presence of disease, such as West Nile
Virus.
•Adulticiding (spraying) using ultra low
volume, truck-mounted equipment to treat
residential areas to reduce adult mosquito
populations.
•Sharing a variety of educational materials
and awareness approaches.
Historical data about mosquito breeding
locations, areas that traditionally have
high adult mosquito populations, and the
frequency and distribution of mosquitoborne
diseases throughout Franklin
County helps to concentrate and focus
mosquito management efforts. Residents
can help by reporting areas that they suspect
may be mosquito breeding areas
and/or when there is an increase in adult
mosquito activity.

A mother’s heartfelt letter
to her soldier son, 1919
By Rick Palsgrove
Eastside Editor
Imagine yourself as a soldier stationed
overseas in those first few weeks after the
end of World War I. You’re eager to go
home, but until you are discharged your
only tangible contact to home is by letter.
One hundred years ago, in the days
before someone overseas could be contacted
instantly by telephone, or through the
various forms of the Internet, the written
word in the form of ink on paper was the
main way to reach out to a faraway loved
one.
Letters from home to those in the military
who fought in World War I in Europe
could take days or weeks to reach their
destination. Then those on the home front,
in turn, waited days or weeks for a reply.
One such letter from home to a
Groveport soldier in 1919 recently was
donated to the Groveport Heritage
Museum by the Westerville Public Library
after it was found in the library’s files.
The letter, written by his mother, was
sent to her U.S. Army private son, who was
in the 37th Division, and was dated, “From
home at Groveport, O., Jan. 13, 1919.”
World War I had ended Nov. 11, 1918,
and the family was eagerly awaiting his
return home. In flowing script handwriting,
his mother writes, “We are growing
impatient waiting for you and no doubt you
boys are the same. I hope you are comfortably
quartered and it is not so cold there.”
She described how things were at home
“I can hardly wait for the day
when I see you come marching
home.”
From a mother’s letter to
her soldier son, 1919
to her son, noting that the Ohio winter had
been “ideal” so far and noting, “A few days
were cold, six above zero is the coldest day
we’ve had. Just three light snows, scarcely
enough to cover the ground. We can pull a
turnip up out in the garden and it is as
crisp as early fall.” She added that the
weather recently was nice enough for her
to dry clothes outside on the line because it
was like “a summer day.”
She told her son that she won’t tell him
about everything that’s happened at home
in the year and a half he’s been away
because she wants him to have some surprises
when he comes home.
She wrote about others her son knew
from the community who served in the war
noting that one wounded fellow, “is home
for a while now, but will go back as soon as
he recovers. He was in that bunch of 1,200
in that Argonne Woods battle...150 came
out and he was gassed three times and got
some slight wounds.”
Referencing newspaper accounts of the
time, she wrote that a “bunch of wounded
soldiers landed (in America) on Dec. 20...It
is a pitiful sight to see our once perfect
specimens of boys now hobbling along with
one leg or some member of their body
gone.”
As the letter closes, she wrote, “I can
hardly wait for the day when I see you
come marching home” and she described a
potential welcome home meal that awaited
him as “roast ribs, dressing, mashed potatoes
and gravy, kidney beans, marshmallow
salad, cherry and custard pie, cake
cookies, pickles, strawberry preserves,
bread, butter, coffee, tea, milk, salt and
pepper, and toothpicks.”
Imagine how heavenly that list of food
sounded to a soldier who had been existing
for many months on Army food!
She signed off the warm, heartfelt letter
this way: “Lots of love and many God bless
you’s my child. All send their love and best
wishes to our dear, dear absent boy. Love,
from mother.”
But then there is a P.S. noting a stick of
gum was included for him with the letter.
A simple, kindly gesture, that offered a
sweet taste of home.
