The gardening life 

Take a walk through gardens cultivated 

by Canal Winchester resident Jackie 

Marion and you feel transported to a peaceful 

place where your eyes, ears and soul can 

take a break from the cacophony of life. 

While the hosta-filled backyard landscape 

on Columbus Street is a refuge from 

the outside world, Marion will be the first 

to tell you it takes a lot of work to create 

and maintain a lush sanctuary. 

“I have been a gardener since 1972 and 

come from a family of gardeners, including 

my grandmother, mother and two sisters,” 

said Marion, a certified master gardener 

since 2011. “It started for me when I owned 

a home in Clintonville, accelerated in 

Bexley and went crazy when I moved back 

to Canal Winchester in 1995 and bought a 

huge property on the old canal.” 

She added over 18 tons of stone to the 

spacious backyard and at one time planted 

over 80 pots of annuals. After visiting 

Monet’s gardens one year, Marion planted 

15 flats of blue and yellow flowers in the 

front yard. She said while it was beautiful, 

it was also an exhausting endeavor that she 

never repeated. 

“I love green foliage and perennials and 

plant few annual flowers now,” said 

Marion. “When I do plant annuals, I plant 

the old favorites–marigolds, impatiens, 

ageratum, begonias, phlox and add lots of 

coleus.” 

The first thing Marion ever grew was 

different kinds of daffodils. She still loves 

the bright intricate flowers, along with their 

spring time companion, tulips, and while she 

does not like digging holes for the bulbs, 

admits the results are worth the effort. 

Currently blooming in her garden is love 

in a mist, yellow sundrops, iris, yarrow, bee balm, spider 

wort, thyme and different varieties of sedums. 

Shrubs and trees including dogwood, Japanese 

maple, lilac, viburnum, holly and nine bark, along 

with grasses, evergreens, smoke tree and a “gazillion” 

hostas also populate the property. 

“I also grow plants for butterflies and bees. I am a 

big supporter of bee hives in the community,” Marion 

said. “It is estimated bees pollinate about 30 percent 

of our crops. I wish our city was more lenient to bee 

hives and I have lobbied for that.” 

When asked what she felt was the most common 

mistake made by gardeners, she said planting sun 

loving plants in the shade and shade loving plants in 

the sun, along with not providing the proper soil

amendment. 

If Marion could only plant just one type of flower, 

she said she would be incredibly stressed and probably 

plant nothing. When the same question turned to 

vegetables, the answer was quick–tomatoes. 

“I have a friend that supplies me every year with 

an heirloom tomato called ‘Miller,’” said Marion. “It 

was named for a farmer who gave seeds to a friend 

who gave seeds to a friend, etc. We almost lost them 

one year, but saved seeds came through.” 

To be designated a master gardener, Marion 

attended 8 to 10 weeks of classes about a variety of 

topics related to gardening and then annually contributed 

to the community through actual garden 

service and education.

Pay raise for mayor 

being considered 


Staff Writer 

Mandated by the city charter, Canal Winchester Council is 

considering changes to the mayor’s salary for 2020 and 2021, but 

no changes for council salaries. 

According to the charter, the salaries of elected officials, 

including council members, the president and vice president of 

council and the mayor, must be reviewed and changes adopted no 

later than July 1 of odd numbered years. 

While council is proceeding with an ordinance indicating no 

change to their current salaries, they are also in the three reading 

process to increase the salary for the mayor’s position 2.5 percent 

each year. 

Currently, Mayor Mike Ebert receives $95,983 annually. In 

2020, and if approved by council, the mayor’s salary would 

increase to $98,382 and then go up to $100,842 in 2021. The council 

president would continue to be paid $7,251 per year, the vice 

president would still receive $6,921 and members of council 

would get $6,592 for the same two-year period. 

During its May 20 meeting, council discussed the two salary 

ordinances after looking at a 2018 salary comparison study conducted 

by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission for communities 

throughout the central Ohio area. 

“When we look at some of these towns, nobody is exactly the 

same as us and you have to apply a little bit of logic to what you’re 

reading,” said Council President Bruce Jarvis, who recently 

announced his own candidacy for mayor, “but at least it’s a guideline.” 

According to the study, within the local area, the mayor of 

Groveport is paid $26,000 per year. However, Groveport also has 

a city administrator position at an annual salary of $122,200. 

Canal Winchester does not employ a city administrator/manager 

along with a mayoral position. 

“We’ve been compared with having a mayor,” said Councilman 

Mike Walker, “where some cities have an administrative assistant 

for the mayor, our mayor does not have a city administrator. 

How many people are looking at us comparing with other cities? 

We’re not comparing city managers. We have a strong mayor and 

don’t have a city manager.” 

Jarvis said while his comments are no reflection on Ebert or 

his performance, he felt the city was where it needed to be on both 

sides and should remain with the salary status quo. 

Councilman Patrick Lynch concurred with the council president. 

“We’re growing a lot, but what I guess I’m getting at is we don’t 

do too badly in this town,” said Lynch. “I don’t see there’s really a 

need for an increase in salary, that’s my opinion. I certainly would 

not want to take an increase myself.” 

Councilman Mike Coolman said the city has “some really good 

talent” and “to keep them in check, you have to have a leader. 

They don’t come around us every day in the form of what Mr. 

Ebert has surrounded himself with, so for that, I’m happy to give 

him a raise. I think for this, the end result is the community we 

live in. The end results are the honors that we receive verbally 

every day by our visitors. That is a total reflection on his abilities 

to form a team.”

Continued from page 1 

“I am on sabbatical right now,” Marion said, “but the past few 

years I have been extensively involved in restoring the gardens at 

Wagnalls, including the construction of a new Martin house. 

Probably the most rewarding experience of my life was working 

with adults with developmental disabilities in Fairfield County. A 

group of master gardeners helped them develop a micro green 

growing business and a farmer’s garden and market. Both projects 

are ongoing with master gardeners very involved.” 

While her lush, established gardens on Columbus Street will 

soon fall under the care of a new owner as Marion transitions to a 

smaller home and garden in Canal Winchester, she plans to continue 

to use her skills to create other islands of peace and tranquility.

Protect your house while away 


Staff Writer 

School is out and it is vacation time–fun for families 

and prime time for criminals as well. 

Home security systems and watchful neighbors are 

great first lines of defense in keeping your property 

safe while you are away, but did you know there is a 

third line of security provided free of charge by local 

law enforcement in Canal Winchester? 

“Vacation checks are a courtesy that the Fairfield 

County Sheriff's Office provides to all residents that 

live within our jurisdiction,” said Sgt. Forrest Cassel. 

“A deputy will check your home at least once a day for 

30 days, while you are on vacation.” 

According to Cassel, deputies walk around the 

home and check windows and doors to ensure the residence 

is secure. Officers look for cars parked on the 

property that do not belong there, check for any open 

windows and doors or any new damage to the home. 

“It is important to have your home on vacation 

check to ensure it has not been burglarized,” said 

Cassel. 

PAY RAISE 

To sign up for a vacation check, call the county 

radio room at 740 652-7911 or visit the sheriff’s office 

website, print a copy of the vacation form and turn it 

in at 345 Lincoln Avenue, Lancaster. 

Before going on vacation, and in addition to signing 

up for vacation checks, Cassel suggests homeowners 

put lights on timers, make sure all doors and windows 

are secure and arrange to have family or friends check 

the home. 

He said property owners should also trim bushes 

and shrubs away from windows to eliminate hiding 

spaces for criminals trying to gain access into the 

home. 

During the summer, Cassel said there is an uptick 

in thefts, drug activity, criminal damaging, public 

intoxication and vandalism. 

“Be aware of your surroundings, lock your vehicle, 

lock all windows and doors at home when away, park 

in lighted areas, do not leave valuables in vehicles, and 

safety in numbers when out,” said Cassel. “Don’t 

become a victim, don’t make yourself an easy target.” 

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 mosquito-borne 

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. 

Detailed information about the mosquito program 

and a form to request service or report an area of concern 

is available online at www.myfcph.org or by calling 

Franklin County Public Health’s Mosquito Bite 

Line at (614)525-BITE. 

Franklin County overdose statistics 

From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2018, the Franklin County 

Coroner’s Office saw 522 people die of overdoses. This 

is approximately the same number of overdose deaths 

seen in 2017. 

Opiate-related deaths accounted for almost 92 percent 

of overdose deaths for 2018. Fueling this was fentanyl 

which accounted for 79 percent of all overdose 

deaths. In the same period for 2017, opiates accounted 

for 87.8 percent and fentanyl accounted for 61 percent 

of overdose deaths. 

Carfentanil-related overdose deaths decreased in 

2018 to 1.1 percent, whereas, in the same period for 

2017 they accounted for 18.5 percent. Heroin-related 

deaths also decreased to 12.2 percent from 15.9 percent 

in 2017. 

Cocaine, methamphetamine and benzodiazepinerelated 

overdose deaths increased in 2018 compared to 

2017 with cocaine: going to 39.4 percent from 35 percent; 

methamphetamines to 10.3 percent from 4.9 percent; 

and benzodiazepines to 6.7 percent from 4 percent. 

Looking at race and ethnicity, 22 percent of those 

who died of overdose deaths were African American, 

an increase of 2 percent from 2017. Hispanics also saw 

an increase in overdose deaths from 1 percent in 2017 

to 3 percent in 2018. The Caucasian population saw a 

decrease in overdose deaths from 78 percent in 2017 to 

74 percent in 2018. 

The number of males dying of overdoses continues 

to be higher than that of females with numbers 

unchanged from 2017, males 69 percent and females 

31 percent. 

The top five zip codes with the highest number of 

overdose deaths for 2018 were 43207, 43204, 43223, 

43206, and 43228. 

Continued from page 1 

Councilman Will Bennett thought it was interesting 

that some department heads within the city are currently 

paid more than the mayor. However, fellow 

Councilman Bob Clark said it happens “all the time.” 

The first reading of the two ordinances–one keeping 

the council salaries at the current level and the 

other increasing the mayor’s salary 2.5 percent over 

the next two years–was held on June 4. According to 

the charter and the legislation, adoption must take 

place no later than July 1.


Township needs money for roadways 


Staff Writer 

The Madison Township trustees are 

finding it difficult to maintain and improve 

roadways without an infusion of additional 

cash into the road department budget. 

According to Madison Township 

Administrator Susan Brobst, the township 

ran a 3-mill, five-year road levy in 2002 

that lost in all township precincts except 

one. They came back three years later with 

a 2.9-mill levy, which lost by only nine 

votes. 

“So, every vote does count,” Brobst said 

during a June 11 trustees’ meeting. 

Township Trustee Chairman John 

Pritchard presented four different options 

the trustees are considering, including running 

a general fund levy impacting all 

township residents, including those in 

Canal Winchester and Groveport; place a 

bridge fund levy on the ballot affecting only 

residents in the unincorporated areas of 

the township; doing nothing; or administratively 

raise taxes through inside millage. 

The last option would not involve a ballot 

issue since the township has the ability 

to increase millage up to a certain threshold. 

In this case, there is less than half a 

mill available. 

Pritchard said if the trustees choose the 

fourth option of raising inside millage, 

there are two methods they could use– 

raise it by itself or use part of a potential 

$10 million fire department budget carryover 

by rescinding old levies. 

“We’re investigating to see if it’s smart to 

do that for the entire township,” said 

Pritchard, who said rescinding old levies 

would in no way impact service. “The bottom 

line is something’s got to be done. We’ll look 

at everything and come to a conclusion.” 

In May, Public Works Superintendent 

Dave Watkins said it costs approximately 

$150,000 per mile to renovate a road, 

which is money the township does not have 

in its budget for areas like Blacklick 

Estates or rural areas. 

Township officials indicated that the 

longer the wait, the more work and more 

expensive the situation becomes. If nothing 

is done, Watkins said the roadways could 

turn to gravel. 

Summer trustee meeting schedule 

The trustees are starting their summer 

round of two meetings per month starting 

June 25 and possibly lasting into 

September. 

“We’ll have two meetings a month on an 

as-needed basis,” said Brobst. “There won’t 

be any presentations or service awards 

during the second meeting of the month, 

but there could board action and we’ll still 

have public comments.”

I’ve never been what you could call a 

“fashionista.” 

One peek inside my closet and you will 

find a mundane wardrobe, full of 

unadorned black and blue long-sleeved 

jackets and solid-colored black and blue 

pants. 

My dresser drawer plays the same song, 

a ho-hum medley of polo shirts and shorts 

new when Bill Clinton was in office. My t- 

shirt du jour? One of many with a science 

theme, like a favorite I bought years ago at 

COSI–“What goes in a black hole stays in 

a black hole.” I cracked up when I saw it 

hanging in the gift shop. It now has a few 

holes of its own. 

My handbags solicit comments along the 

lines of, “I love retro purses. Where did you 

get that?” for something I bought only a 

year ago. I am so unconsciously locked into 

the same style that if I look at new handbags, 

it’s always the same manufacturer. 

My sunglasses follow the same pattern. 

Imitation Ray-Ban Wayfarers. About 15 

years ago, I found a pair in a clearance bin. 

I dug around, found three more of the same 

style and bought all of them. I still wear 

them today. 

I think of my personal style as “classic,” 

meaning although I am never in style, I 

columns 

Ever since I was a kid spinning 45 rpm vinyl 

records on a portable record player that had a felt covered 

platter, (Yes, I’m ancient) I’ve wondered why 

some pop and rock songs end by fading out while others 

have a definitive ending. 

I’m not a musician or a record producer, so I’m not 

well versed in the recording process. But someone does 

make a conscious decision on how to end a song, be it 

the songwriter or the producer. 

A few years ago National Public Radio researched 

this topic and reported that it comes down to a couple 

of reasons: 1) the fade out made it easier for radio disc 

jockeys to control the end of a song to allow for commercials, 

etc.; and 2) some artists feel the lingering 

fade out enhances the listening experience by repeating 

the song’s chorus or “hook.” 

That being said, which is better, the fade out or the 

definitive ending? 

I asked an old musician friend of mine, Matt Wyatt - 

who played guitar for the Great Plains and now performs 

with The 3 Speeds - which he preferred: the fade out or 

the definitive ending. 

“My thoughts about fade outs are, does the band feel 

stupid repeating a phrase, knowing it is not gonna be 

completely heard? Wyatt said. “I prefer clipped, sudden 

endings.” 

Fade outs can be long or short. They can trick you 

sometimes by fading out and then coming back before 

fading out again. I’m looking at you, psychedelic era 

Beatles. 

Speaking of The Fab Four, the long fade out on the 

Beatles’ “Hey Jude” works because it is a mesmerizing 

chant. 

Some short fade outs almost serve as an abrupt 

ending, like on Bob Dylan’s “Love Minus Zero/No 

Limit,” which is a song I love. On this song, the fade 

out is tantalizingly short making me wish it could at 

least go on for a few more seconds. 

Some songs that on a recording 

have a fade out can sometimes 

cause a band problems 

when performed live. It seems

never go out of style because I was never in 

style in the first place. I get it, but I don’t 

think my daughters and mother ever will. 

My 85-year-old mother is more fashion 

conscious than me. She comes from a time 

when women always wore stockings and 

heels and never pulled on a pair of sweatpants 

to get comfortable. Our shopping 

excursions result in conversations like this: 

Me: “Oh look, they have polos on sale. 

This is a nice color and it’s something I 

don’t have (Which is, probably, just a different 

shade of blue).” 

Mother: “Don’t you already have enough 

plain shirts? How about something different? 

Wouldn’t you like something different?” 

Me: “I like polos. They go with most 

everything I have. They never go out of 

style. They look neat and they’re comfortable. 

And above all else, I like them.” 

Mother: “I’m just suggesting that you 

might like to change things up once in a 

while. Get something a little different.” 

I’m not a big fan of “different” when it 

comes to my clothing. I can go into my closet 

with the lights off and not have to worry 

about coming out wearing the clothing 

equivalent of a Picasso painting. 

I’ve always been this way. In high

Fridays, I didn’t have to address the “What 

to Wear” dilemma because I was required 

to wear my drill team uniform. 

I admit to a collection of wild socks, 

many of which I still own. Socks are where 

I indulge my inner crazy, but I wouldn’t 

call the practice “fashionable.” 

When it comes to make-up and nail polish, 

I am a standout among the women in 

my family. They all own dozens of different 

cosmetics. My collection of make-up occupies 

half of one shelf in my medicine cabinet, 

alongside three bottles of nail polish. 

The other day, I stepped outside of the 

proverbial box and bought my first otherthan-pink 

nail polish…a shade of light 

green that my daughters told me was 

already out of style. If I keep it long 

enough, perhaps one day it will become a 

classic.

The long and short goodbyes of songs 

Editor’s Notebook 

Rick 

Palsgrove 

like the band does not know how to end such a song in 

a clean way. So during live performances they often 

strum guitars really fast and end the song with a 

“chunk” of drums, bass, and guitar all at once. There 

are too many instances of this to name that fit this 

mold. Come up with an ending! 

A song with good definitive ending is like coming to 

the end of a good book. The sound ties up neatly and 

satisfyingly, such as with The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled 

Again.” Some endings can be almost jarring, but fit the 

song’s attitude such as The Music Machine’s “Talk, 

Talk,” which ends with a bam in a sharp, clipped vocal. 

“No matter what you hear on a record, you’re hearing 

a structured performance in a studio that is worked on to 

get a certain sound, but at the same time the band wants 

you to feel the immediacy of the music,” said Wyatt. 

“When a song is ending, a fade out can snap you out of 

denial because you’re obviously hearing someone going 

away who isn’t really going away.” 

It’s all a musical jumble anyway and the songs we 

like are all so subjective. Ultimately it is up to each of 

us to decide what we like best when listening to our 

favorite tunes and no matter how a song ends, all we 

need to do is replay it to relive the experience. 

I could end this column with a fade out or just stop.

“Dark Phoenix” is a boring mess of wasted potential 

It is inevitable that any theatrical adaptation 

of the ‘X-Men’ comics is going to try 

to bring the “Dark Phoenix” saga to life. 

For those unfamiliar with the comics, it 

is a beloved arc that depicts the struggle of 

the mild mannered mutant Jean Grey as 

mind and ability merge with that of an allpowerful 

cosmic force capable of mass 

destruction. It is an enduring storyline for 

the devastation wrought, the mental 

anguish she and her loved ones go though, 

and the showcasing of the unmistakable 

love the X-Men have for each other despite 

the horror they can inflict. 

In 2006, the third installment in the 

original ‘X-Men’ movie franchise attempted 

to bring this complex arc to the silver 

screen and failed spectacularly. Instead of 

depicting Jean (played then by Famke 

Janssen) as a good woman struggling with 

her humanity, she is this wordless, scowling 

being who stands in the background 

glaring evilly and breaking stuff. 

To this day, I still harbor so much 

loathing for the film’s creators for failing to 

deliver on what should have been a great 

story. 

So, when the ‘X-Men’ movie-verse was 

rebooted in 2011, I braced myself for the 

eventual reintroduction of Jean Grey and 

another attempt at the “Dark Phoenix” storyline. 

And then when she came onto the 

scene in the abysmal Apocalypse five years 

later, I hoped they would do right by the 

character and actress (played by “Game of 

Thrones” star Sophie Turner) and take the 

time to fully develop the thread. Alas, my 

hopes were dashed shortly thereafter when 

it was announced that not only would their 

next film be the Phoenix storyline, but it 

would be written and directed by Simon 

Kinberg, the man who wrote the screenplay 

for “The Last Stand.” 

Since the ‘X-Men’ is like the 

‘Terminator’ franchise to me, I cannot find 

it within myself to fully quit these movies 

so I had to see what fresh horror was done. 

To be clear, it is as bad as I thought it 

would be but it is a slight step up from “The 

Last Stand.” And by slight I mean in the 

slightest sense of the word. 

It begins with a phone call from the 

president who is requesting the assistance 

of the X-Men when the lives of astronauts

onboard a shuttle are 

endangered. Team 

leader Raven (Jennifer 

Lawrence, continuing 

to look incredibly done 

with this role) is worried 

about the risky 

mission and begs 

Professor Xavier 

(James McAvoy) to 

turn down the 

request. As usual, he 

overrides her concerns 

and then tells her to bring some of 

the youngest members to assist for experience 

sake. 

While up in space, the fears of Raven 

are justified when they discover that a 

“solar flare” is threatening to destroy 

everything in the vicinity. 

Then, just when it appears when the 

mission is over and they all made it 

through unscathed, an accident befalls 

Jean and she is nearly killed in the process. 

Afterward, her telepathic and telekinetic 

abilities are amplified way past 11 and 

she complains of feeling as if something 

new is living inside her. While she tries to 

get back into her normal schedule, she 

begins to experience uncontrollable urges 

and power surges. 

Scared, she runs away believing she is a 

danger to herself and others. While on the 

lam (she runs afoul of the law when she 

blasts a helicopter out of the sky), she runs 

into a woman called Vuk (Jessica 

Chastain) who shows no fear of her or her 

abilities. In fact, she tells Jean she can harness 

that power and create new universes 

where she can be safe. But when the X-Men 

learn Vuk is not who she claims to be (are 

they ever?), they race to save Jean before 

she destroys the world and her humanity 

in the process. 

There are many problems with this film, 

most stemming from the lackluster writing 

and uninspired direction from Kinberg. I 

don’t know why he was given another 

chance with this arc but he once again 

failed to do anything creative or do it justice. 

While the plot within is slightly more

entertainment 

coherent than “The Last Stand,” “Dark 

Phoenix” is still a boring mess of wasted 

potential. 

If there is one saving grace for this film, 

it is the acting, which is not all that great. 

While a vast majority of the older cast have 

already checked out (Lawrence, McAvoy, 

Michael Fassbender and Nicolas Hoult), 

the newest cast (Turner, Tye Sheridan and 

Kodi Smit-McPhee) try their best to elevate 

the crap given to them. They largely succeed 

and make this film vaguely watchable. 

With the end of “Dark Phoenix” comes a 

new chapter with the X-Men, and by that I 

mean Disney has snatched up 20th 

Century Fox and Marvel will now have control 

of the property. 

While I have serious concerns at how 

powerful Disney has become in the movie 

world, I do think the Marvel Cinematic 

Universe will do these characters justice. 

Eventually. I hope.

FAA grant for Rickenbacker International Airport 

Rickenbacker International Airport is 

slated to receive $15 million from the 

Federal Aviation Administration for airport 

improvements, including runway 

upgrades, that will support a projected tenfold 

increase in cargo activity over the next 

20 years. 

“The FAA grant and these improvements 

align with Rickenbacker’s growth 

strategies over the next two decades,” said 

Joseph R. Nardone, President & CEO of 

the Columbus Regional Airport Authority 

which oversees the cargo-focused airport. 

“We are grateful to our Ohio congressional 

delegation and U.S. Secretary of 

Transportation Elaine Chao for recognizing 

Rickenbacker’s economic importance to 

the region and its critical role in international 

commerce.” 

“Infrastructure is the shot in the arm 

our economy needs to continue its growth, 

and this investment in Central Ohio is no 

exception,” Congressman Steven Stivers 

said. “Rickenbacker is a critical component 

of our community for tourism and business, 

and maintaining their facilities is in everyone’s 

best interest. I’m glad to see that the 

FAA understands that and is committed to 

fulfilling the full grant amount that was 

requested for these crucial repairs.” 

Rickenbacker is among a select group of 

airports to benefit from the Bipartisan 

Keep safe while digging in yard 

To highlight the need for increased 

awareness around safe digging, a survey 

was recently conducted by the Common 

Ground Alliance that revealed many homeowners 

are putting themselves and their 

families at risk by not calling 811. 

Digging without knowing the location of 

underground utilities can result in serious 

injury, service disruptions, and costly 

repairs. 

“We encourage homeowners in Ohio to 

know the ground rules before they dig,” 

said David Musser, operations center manager 

at Columbia Gas. “If you’re planning 

to dig, no matter how big or small, you 

should start with a call to 811. Calling at 

least two business days before beginning 

your project will ensure that your local 

utilities have time to mark their lines so 

that you can dig safely. It’s free, it’s easy 

and it’s the law.” 

The survey indicated that 42 percent of 

homeowners who plan to dig this year for 

DIY projects will not call 811. The survey

project that requires a call to 811. The 

most popular of these projects are: 

• Planting a tree or shrub 

• Building a patio or deck 

• Building a fence 

• Installing a mailbox 

Columbia Gas is encouraging homeowners 

to take the following steps when planning 

a digging project this spring or summer: 

• Always call 811 a few days before digging. 

Call at least two business days before 

beginning your project. 

• Consider moving the location of your 

project if it is near utility line markings. 

• If a contractor has been hired, confirm 

that the contractor has called 811. Don’t 

allow work to begin if the lines aren’t 

marked.

SWACO grants help schools and non-profits 

Earlier this year, SWACO awarded approximately 

$178,000 to local schools, universities, nonprofits 

and local governments to advance their 

efforts to reduce their reliance on the Franklin 

County Sanitary Landfill. Projects ranged from 

funding composting services in school cafeterias, to 

purchasing water bottle refilling stations for travelers 

passing through John Glenn International 

Airport and locating recycling containers in Uptown 

Westerville, the historic heart of the community, 

just to name a few. SWACO is offering additional 

funding opportunities for local organizations this 

summer. 

Beginning in July, applications for projects 

occurring in 2020 will be accepted as part of 

SWACO’s Community Waste Reduction grant program. 

Franklin County schools, universities, nonprofits 

and local governments including parks are 

eligible and projects submitted should implement 

long-lasting and innovative sustainability practices. 

Applications will be accepted between July 1 

and Sept. 30. Applications will be considered 

based on how well they will divert materials from 

the landfill by either reducing the amount of waste 

that will be created, facilitating reuse, recycling, 

composting or providing outreach and education. 

Grants range from $5,000 to $35,000 and can 

be used to purchase recycling or other diversion 

equipment, supplies, materials and services. 

Grant recipients are required to contribute 25% 

toward the cost of the project.

Canine Carnival 

People recently came to StoryPoint, an 

assisted living facility in Grove City, for 

the Canine Carnival, including Elaine 

Nicholas, of Canal Winchester, who celebrated 

the adoption of her Doberman 

“Dugan.” Nicholas fostered Dugan 

through the rescue organization Hand 

Me Down Dobes, but decided to add her 

name to the list of “Foster Failures.” 

The carnival had animals up for adoption 

through local rescue organizations. 

Jacob is a 6-year-old 

shy American bulldog. 

He is still adjusting to the 

shelter, so his behavior 

is a little quiet and 

reserved. Once he’s in 

his new home, Jacob 

may relax and become 

much more social, or 

may need a little more 

time and patience to come out of his shell. 

Jacob is up for adoption at the Franklin 

County Dog Shelter.

Lyris is a 6-month-old 

mixed breed. She is 

cute, cuddly and lots of 

fun. She thinks everything 

is a toy to play 

with. You’ll need lots of 

time and patience to 

teach Lyris everything 

she needs to learn. She 

would be a good candidate 

for puppy training class. Adopt Lyris from

Running with dogs 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and 

Adoption Center announced a program 

where individuals who like to run can take 

dogs from the shelter, transport them to 

the Columbus Park of Roses, and run for 

six miles with a companion. 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter 

Running Club allows for the dogs to leave 

the shelter for a period of time, which is 

proven to benefit both their physical and 

emotional well-being, and also gives the 

runner motivation and companionship. 

Initially this program is only open to 

current, trained volunteers at the shelter 

and will occur before or after the shelter’s 

open hours. Dogs participating in the program 

have been identified by shelter staff. 

“These dogs will also act as ambassadors 

for the shelter, promoting adoption as 

they interact in public spaces in our community,” 

said Kaye Dickson, director of the 

shelter. “As our dedicated companions, 

dogs can influence us to get up and enjoy 

life. Taking walks through our neighborhoods 

not only benefits our health and the 

health of our dog, but supports strong communities 

and connections among one 

another. Visit the shelter this weekend 

and find your new best friend.” 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter 

Running Club will be open for community 

participation in the coming months. 

Contact the shelter if your running group 

is interested in joining the program. 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and 

Adoption Center is located at 4340 

Tamarack Blvd. in Columbus and is open 

Monday-Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 

9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

ADVISORY 

The National Trade Association 

we belong to has 

purchased the following 

classifieds. Determining 

the value of their service 

or product is advised by 

this publication. In order 

to avoid misunderstandings, 

some advertisers do 

not offer “employment” 

but rather supply the 

readers with manuals, directories

designed to help 

their clients establish mail 

order selling and other 

businesses at home. Under 

NO circumstance 

should you send any 

money in advance or give 

the client your checking, 

license ID or credit card 

numbers. Also beware of 

ads that claim to guarantee

credit and note that if a 

credit repair company 

does business only over 

the phone it’s illegal to request 

any money before 

delivering its service. All
