Council “Coffees” evolve 

Will now be “informal 

Town Hall meetings” 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Residents of Canal Winchester can still 

have coffee with city council members, but 

they will need to bring their cups to the 

community center in the future. 

A Canal Winchester City Council rules 

committee–consisting of council members 

Pat Lynch, Jill Amos and Mike Coolman– 

met on Sept. 16 to discuss language 

addressing police protection, the community 

coffees and public comments during 

council meetings. 

While initially proposing to hold the 

quarterly coffees, now known as informal 

Town Hall meetings, at 5 p.m. on Mondays 

before regular council sessions, Lynch 

modified the time and date after 

Councilman Bob Clark said the hour was 

too early. 

“If you start it at 5 p.m., nobody is going 

to make it,” said Clark. “5 p.m. is way too 

early. I’d rather do it on a non-council 

night; a Monday we’re not in and meet at 7 

p.m.” 

Coolman said he, too, was more in favor 

of meeting earlier in the week and later at 

night. He felt holding the informal sessions 

earlier in the week would make it easier 

for residents to attend. 

After consulting committee, Town Hall 

and community center calendars, the three 

council members agreed on changing the 

language setting rules for the quarterly 

meetings to the second Tuesday of October, 

January, April and July at 7 p.m. 

Law Director Gene Hollins said while 

CW leaf pick up 

The city of Canal 

Winchester will conduct 

curbside leaf collection 

from Oct. 7 

through Dec. 13. To 

avoid water backup in 

the event of rain, leaf 

piles must be placed 

behind the curb along the street. 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. 

the meeting format is more informal than 

regular council sessions, they still must be 

run in some accordance with Robert’s 

Rules of Order, including basic minutes. 

“You don’t want to make it uninviting to 

the public, but you have to have some 

order,” said Hollins, “as long as you have 

someone running the meeting and not all 

talking at the same time.” 

The first town hall session–considered 

a special meeting–will be held on Oct. 8 

from 7-9 p.m. in the Frances Steube 

Community Center, 22 S. Trine St. The 

proposed rules change for the meetings 

will be forwarded to council for approval 

once legislation is crafted. 

Other Canal Winchester news 

•Lynch proposed adding language to a 

section of city rules addressing fire and law 

enforcement service, inserting Madison 

Township as a supplemental service 

provider. 

Coolman said he was comfortable with 

the addition as long as there was no implication 

that the city was contracting with 

the township for service. 

•After resident feedback on speaking 

restrictions during city council public comment 

periods, Lynch suggested the rules be 

amended to allow speakers to ask up to two 

questions of council during their allotted 

five minutes of time, allow council members 

five minutes to respond and limit public 

commentary to no more than 45 minutes. 

In addition, Deputy Clerk of Council 

Tiffany O’Donnell asked the committee to 

consider adding phone numbers and email 

information to the speaker list people sign 

before addressing council. 

The pair of proposed rules changes will 

also be forwarded to council for approval.

Help clean up Walnut Creek 


Staff Writer 

How would you like to live in an environment contaminated 

by old tires, discarded equipment and trash 

of every size–including rusting automobiles? Neither 

do the fish, turtles and other fauna that call local 

waterways home. 

Volunteers and Canal Winchester city staff will 

walk along and in Walnut Creek, starting upstream 

from the Walnut Woods Metro Park dog park area 

clearing out tires tossed in and around the creek. 

The 12th annual tire sweep (held in conjunction 

with Walnut Woods Metro Park) and creek cleanup 

along Walnut Creek will take place from 8-11 a.m. on 

Oct. 5. 

Canal Winchester’s Urban Forester Dick Miller 

said volunteers are asked to meet at 7:30 a.m. at the 

Walnut Woods Metro Park office, 6723 Lithopolis 

Road, where park manager Mindi McConnell is providing 

breakfast. 

“About 8 a.m., we walk and/or ride to the stream 

and begin our quest,” said Miller. “One group may float 

a boat from the elementary school campus downstream 

to meet us with a load of tires. Small watercraft are 

welcome, but there are portages around fallen trees in 

the stream bed. We have had volunteers as young as 

12 wading with a supervisory adult. We wade 

upstream so the silt we kick up does not interfere with 

one’s vision through the knee deep water. For those 

who do not wade, we need people on the banks to pull 

rope tied tires up over six to 10 foot tall embankments 

and roll the tires to the pathways for pickup by tractor 

or trucks.” 

Miller admitted the tire sweep is a wet and dirty 

job, but said the water seems to wash everything away. 

“We are doing the right thing as those tires don’t 

belong in or along the stream. We are off the water by 

11 a.m., so everyone can get home for lunch, football 

and possibly a nap,” said Miller. 

According to Miller, throughout the last 11 years, 

over 400 tires were collected, with annual collections 

averaging 35 to 50 tires. There was an incident in 2016 

of a large number of tires dumped along the stream 

bank, just outside the city limits, on land that now is 

being purchased to enlarge the park system. 

Since the illegal dump was on private property at 

the time, the property owner was responsible for the 

clean-up. 

Tires, like those in a buried dump that appears in 

the creek near Gender Road during high water events, 

are not the only auto-related debris found in and 

around the creek. Miller said a Pontiac Bonneville, 

Ford Bronco and various pieces of equipment that may 

have been part of a sod harvesting business years ago 

Violet Township Women’s 

League celebrates 20 years 

The Violet Township Women’s League will celebrate 

its 20th anniversary on Sept. 24 at 6 p.m. There 

will be a buffet dinner at 6:30 p.m. and the program 

begins at 7 p.m. 

The celebration will be held at American Legion 

Post, 7725 Refugee Road, Pickerington. Guest speakers: 

Pickerington Mayor Lee Gray, Pickerington Local 

School Superintendent Dr. Chris Briggs, and Violet 

Township Trustee Melissa Wilde.

Pictured here are volunteers removing a large tire 

from Walnut Creek during a previous tire sweep. 

were also discovered in the area. 

“I love to practice catch and release fishing for 

smallmouth bass,” said Miller. “The Walnut offers up a 

good smallmouth fishery and it burned-my-chops to 

see all the discarded tires and rusted equipment and 

cars in the streambed and along the banks. The surface 

water of the stream by state law is 100 percent 

open to those in small watercraft. The city has several 

stream access locations for bank fishing access that are 

underused.” 

In recent years, the city started including Walnut 

Woods Metro Park in the tire sweep along the creek. 

The park system now covers the cost of hauling and 

transporting tires to a shredding facility on State 

Route 104 on the south side of Columbus. 

In dressing for the tire sweep, Miller advises early 

October wading only requires blue jeans, a sweatshirt 

and ankle-high tennis shoes. Workers can also wear 

chest waders with wading boots. 

“It depends on the air temperature and what you’re 

comfortable with,” said Miller. “I think a garden spade 

works best to dislodge semi-buried tires and I try to 

bring extra spades for those who want them. A 30 foot 

section of rope works great for hoisting tires up and 

over the bank.”

CWHS freshmen become a community of learners 

Plus, State Report Card 

information released 


Staff Writer 

A student-teacher lead pilot program at 

Canal Winchester High School is not only 

easing the transition from middle school, 

but also creating a community of learners 

in non-traditional ways. 

9Tribe is an in-school academy of 125 

randomly-selected freshmen who began the 

school year with a two-day boot camp to 

familiarize themselves with the program. 

All students attend the same five classes 

during the beginning of the day. 

“Students have the freedom to learn 

outside the time and space limitations at 

the high school,” said 9Tribe English 

teacher Seth Bixler during the Sept. 16 

Canal Winchester Board of Education 

meeting. 

The pilot program incorporates algebra, 

government, science, English, health and 

career exploration with an emphasis on 

cross-curriculum projects and learning, 

critical thinking, creativity and socio-emotional 

needs of children. 

Traditional classroom experiences exist 

side-by-side with creative experiences such 

as moving lessons outside or to the hallway 

where 40 feet of whiteboard plays host to 

brainstorming sessions, question and 

answer responses or academic exercises. 

Students are invited to “shout-out” the 

accomplishments of others online while 

teachers use a Twitter account to share 

student activities in and outside of school. 

“We developed a model to challenge students 

academically while providing full 

support aligning the curriculum,” said 

Bixler. “We’re very intentional with aligning 

this with Empowering All Students for 

Success. We’re trying to mold the education 

for what’s best for students.” 

Madison Township gets new fire chief 

Since the same core group of students is 

in class together, teachers are better able 

to detect learning and behavioral patterns 

and be aware of what is going on in other 

classrooms. 

“We’ve had complete support from the 

administration to do this,” said Bixler. “It 

really is teacher and student lead. My 

experience with the students is that they 

are engaged.We’re excited about what 

we’re doing and hope to share it.” 

State Report Card 

Canal Winchester Schools 

Superintendent James Sotlar addressed 

the recent state report card where the district 

moved up from an overall “D” to a “C” 

rating. While he was happy with the 

improvement, Sotlar said the grade is just 

a snapshot and not a true reflection of the 

district. 

“It’s something we have to deal with,” 

Sotlar said. “We’re not teaching to the test, 

but preparing students for the test.” 

The state report card includes six components–achievement, 

progress, prepare 

for success, graduation rate, gap closing 

and improvement of at-risk K-3 readers– 

and 10 measures of specific performance 

marks. 

Canal Winchester scored an “A” in its 

graduation rate; a “B” in gap closing, which 

shows how well schools meet expectations 

for vulnerable students, and a “C” for atrisk 

elementary readers. 

The district received a “D” in achievement, 

which measures state test performance 

progress, that evaluates growth on 

past performance and prepare for success, 

which measures how well students are prepared 

for future opportunities.

Madison Township has a new fire chief 

after a three month search. 

On Sept. 10, the Madison Township 

trustees hired Derek Robinson as the new 

Madison Township fire chief. He will begin 

work in the township on Oct. 7. Robinson 

currently is the deputy chief of operations 

with the Westerville Division of Fire. 

He replaces current interim and former 

chief Jeff Fasone, who will hold the title of 

Fire Prevention Specialist once Robinson, 

who has 25 years’ experience in EMS and 

fire service, is on duty. 

“I look forward to working with the 

Madison Township trustees, township 

administration, and the men and women of 

the fire division to proudly and professionally 

serve the citizens,” said Robinson. 

According to Madison Township 

Administrator Susan Brobst, the trustees 

worked with the Ohio Fire Chief's 

Association on the search process since 

April 2019 after Fasone indicated he wanted 

to step down as chief. She said there is 

a specific process used by the association to 

assist entities in the selection of various 

management-level positions. Eleven people 

applied for the position. Select candidates 

participated in an assessment center 

before the list was whittled down to two 

individuals. 

The pair of candidates was interviewed 

by the trustees, along with the fiscal officer, 

Brobst and a representative from 

Canal Winchester and Groveport. 

“Mr. Robinson has a strong background 

similar to Madison Township, including 

three fire stations, staffing levels, and 

response to service call numbers,” said 

Brobst. “His outgoing personality, forward-thinking 

ideas, and direct approach 

to issues made him stand out amongst the 

candidates. 

Other Madison Township news 

•Trustees will hold a pair of public 

hearings to discuss the possibility of 

assessing a $5 permissive motor vehicle 

license tax during the Oct. 8 meeting and 

again on Oct. 16. The tax would be collected 

when a new car license is purchased or 

an old one renewed. 

Permissive tax revenue, according to 

the Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles, 

can only be used for planning, construction, 

improving, maintaining and repairing 

public roads, highways, streets and for the 

maintenance and repair of bridges and 

viaducts. 

•Fasone said the fire department 

received a $6,175 grant from the Shriner’s 

organization to help purchase five new 

mask-mounted, heads-up thermal imaging 

cameras. Each camera costs approximately 

$1,236. 

“We bought 10-12 cameras last year and 

this will put us two-thirds of the way to 

having everyone have their own mask cameras,” 

said Fasone. “The cameras can see 

through smoke for heat signals. Before the 

thermal imaging cameras, you had to do 

blind searches and go into situations where 

you couldn’t see your hand in front of your 

face. With thermal imaging, the cameras 

can find a source, like a person, a lot quicker.” 

•Trebel LLC Administrator Scott 

Belcastro said natural gas prices have 

dropped to a point where he advised the 

trustees to consider setting the contract 

price at the current rate instead of continuing 

with a variable rate. 

“We take all of the risk off the table,” 

Belcastro said. 

According to Belcastro, the current rate 

is 37.49 cents per CCF. However, he 

reported the rate escalated to 47 cents in 

December 2018 for just natural gas and 

raised a penny more in January. 

“The weather has been far more volatile 

than years past,” said Belcastro. “It’s getting 

harder to project (future costs). The 

contract is for 24 months and we’ll still 

keep an eye on things.” 

If the trustees choose to set the rate, 

Trebel will still send out letters to consumers 

notifying them of the change, 

which includes an opt-out letter. As part of 

the original contract, residents are always 

free to opt-out of the aggregation program 

at no cost and at any time.

A life of work leads to memorable tip 

Job satisfaction and long-term career 

goals were not on the mind of my mother as 

a 14-year-old graduate of the Austrian 

school system looking for employment in 

post-World War II Vienna. 

Yes, age 14 is the graduation age (they 

do things differently in Europe) and no, it 

was not an easy task to find a job amid the 

ruin and rubble of a city recovering from 

the bombing brought about by the war. 

Going shop-to-shop, she asked, inquired 

and begged for a position to earn money to 

help her family, not unlike thousands of 

other teenagers and adults displaced by 

years of Nazi and Russian occupation. 

She finally found employment–on a 

production line stuffing cotton into stainless 

steel lighters. Later she sold knives at 

festivals to country folk believing the company’s 

“will never lose its sharpness” hype 

and then served travelers at an outdoor 

restaurant, often working 80 hours a week. 

My mother was 19 when four nations 

patrolled quadrants of the city. My father 

was serving in the Army at the time and, 

while it was not love at first sight–my 

mother was and still is an independent 

woman–they fell in love and got married. 

After coming to America, getting settled 

and raising me, my mother went back to 

work at a restaurant on Parsons Avenue 

near a railroad complex. 

You might not think of Parsons Avenue 

as a destination spot for fine dining (the 

building is still there today, albeit boarded 

up and in a terrible state of disrepair), at 

one time, Johnson’s Restaurant served the 

movers and shakers of Columbus, including 

mayors, lawyers and a young Jack 

Nicklaus. 

Tables were covered in linen, well-maintained 

fish tanks functioned as living portraits 

of sea life and a special Japanesethemed 

room featured low level seating. 

Waitresses like my mother were dressed in 

white uniforms and knew many of the customers 

by name, always addressing them 

formally as Mr. or Mrs. 

While the restaurant still served railroad 

workers during the afternoon rush at 

a lunch counter on the opposite side of the 

building, low-level lighting and elevated 

seating areas were hallmarks of the finer 

dining area. 

Although located outside of the downtown 

loop, Johnson’s was still considered 

one of the city’s “fancier” establishments 

and tips reflected that status. It was not 

uncommon for my mother to receive a $3 

tip, considered high for the time. 

This brings me to the crux of my story. 

I asked my mother the other day, “What 

was the best tip you ever received while 

working as a waitress?” Her response surprised 

me. “25 cents.” 

She told me that one evening a couple 

came in. 

The man was dressed in clean, but older 

As a kid in the 1960s, I and my neighborhood 

cohorts usually had two pairs of 

shoes: tennis shoes and dress shoes. 

Tennis shoes meant fun and freedom. 

They were called tennis shoes even though 

we wore them for every activity except 

playing tennis. 

Another name for this type of shoe is 

“sneakers.” Today sneakers have branched 

out to many different designs with varying 

names for many purposes including: running 

shoes, walking shoes, basketball 

shoes, and so on. There are also I’m sure 

tennis shoes made specifically for tennis 

these days, too. 

Our old tennis shoes were pretty much 

some canvas sewed to a slab of rubber, not 

like today’s version that aim to support foot 

and body. The epitome of tennis shoes back 

then were Chuck Taylor Converse, especially 

the high tops with the circular logo. If you 

had a pair of Chuck Taylors you knew you 

had made it. 

Dress shoes meant confinement and 

structure. They were worn to church and 

other formal occasions. We called them 

hard shoes because that’s the way they 

felt. 

Where our old tennis shoes could be 

tossed in the washer to be cleaned; dress 

overalls and the 

wife was dressed 

in a plain, but 

pressed dress. She 

was timidly clutching 

a small handbag and 

a handkerchief. 

They were seated, 

looked over the menu and selected the 

most inexpensive meal–ham steak, which 

was obviously an extravagant dinner for 

them. 

While their clothing was in stark contrast 

to diners around them, my mother realized 

this was a special outing for the couple and 

still treated them with the same care and 

attention as her regular customers. 

When they were finished, the man 

called my mother over. He turned to his 

wife and said, “See, I told you I was going 

to bring you to a nice place.” He then 

turned to my mother and thanked her 

before handing her the quarter and saying, 

“Here, honey, this is for you.” 

When I heard this story, I cried. My 

mother did as well. 

It amazed me that here was a woman 

who lived through a war, lean times trying 

to find a job, a move across the ocean and 

employment in the service industry with a 

foreign accent, but her best memory of 

work was a 25 cent tip. 

My mother made the day for that couple, 

but they gave her a memory for a lifetime.

Editor’s Notebook 

Rick 

Palsgrove 

Since we were kids and constantly 

growing, our parents often had to take us 

to the shoe store for new shoes to fit our 

larger feet. No other store back then had 

the feel of a shoe store. A shoe store had 

unique equipment, like the metal silver 

and black measurement apparatus that 

gauged the size of your feet or the smooth 

metal shoe horn used to slip one’s foot into 

an unforgiving, stiff new dress shoe. 

Old style shoe store clerks were attentive 

and serious. It’s like they realized 

their task had a scientific element to it 

with all the measuring involved, as well as 

artistic and physical factors as the shoes 

had to both look good and feel good. They 

embraced the old saying about understanding 

a person by imagining what it’s like to 

walk a mile in their shoes.

CW Founder’s Day 

The Canal Winchester Historical Society is sponsoring 

a two-day Founder’s Day event on Oct. 18 and 19 at the 

iconic Historical Complex, located at 10 Oak St., home to 

the Queen of the Line train depot, the Prentiss 

Schoolhouse and the O.P. Chaney Grain Elevator. 

The events kick-off on Oct. 18 with a (21 and over) gala 

from 7-10 p.m., including music, food, libation and other 

party-time pleasures and the opportunity to enjoy a place 

rich in history and full of vision for the future. 

On Oct. 19 the Historical Society is hosting a familyfriendly 

Founder’s Day event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You 

can fall in love with Canal Winchester as it was in times 

gone by… meet the weaver, the baker, the candle maker 

and others. No entry charge for this event. There will be 

goods available for purchase and games available for play. 

Steve Donahue, president of the Canal Winchester 

Historical Society, expresses the Society’s desire to share 

the special nature of the beautiful site nestled along the 

railroad tracks. 

“We have the opportunity to let others explore the history 

of Canal Winchester in the late 1800’s while creating 

new memories for them today,” said Donahue. “The

Parade float a winner 

The float created by the Alspach, Jordan, and Pritchard families won the award as the best float in the 

Canal Winchester Labor Day parade on Sept. 2. Highlighting this year’s “heroes” theme, the float honored 

the everyday heroes in our lives and draped capes over hero sandwiches and over special family heroes. 

Amy and Celia Alspach developed the concept and the logistics, Doris Garber pulled together the costumes, 

and Andy and Zeke Alspach along with Charles Jordan put together the float. Bryen Jordan made 

the family hero t-shirts and Olga and Svetlana Jordan cheered on. Charley Pritchard pulled the float 

across town.

Is it time to 

ban the bottle? 

We’ve all heard the popular rule that we should drink eight glasses of 

water every day. One of the main reasons water is so critical to life processes 

is that it is helps the body transport critical substances in and out of living 

cells. Simply put, water is essential to life. 

In an effort to stay healthy and drink the recommended amounts of water, 

more and more people have reached for the convenience of bottled water. 

But the statistics about pollution and plastics are sobering: 

* America’s demand for bottled water uses more than 17 million barrels 

of oil annually, enough to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year. (1) 

* By 2050, there is going to be more plastic in the ocean than fish. (2) 

* The energy we waste using bottled water would be enough to power 

190,000 homes. (3) 

If you are searching for an alternative to bottled water, it’s time to consider 

a home drinking water system. Kinetico Water Systems, headquartered 

in Northeast Ohio, is one of the nation’s premier water-treatment innovators.

How to prepare your lawn and garden for winter 

Winter weather can be harsh. Homeowners who 

spend much of the year tending to their lawns and gardens 

may worry that winter will undo all of their hard 

work. Though homeowners cannot do anything to prevent 

snow, wind and ice from affecting their properties, 

they can take various steps to prepare their lawns 

and gardens for whatever winter has in store. 

•Mulch leaves. Falling leaves are a telltale sign 

that winter is coming. In lieu of raking leaves as they 

begin to fall, homeowners can mulch them into their 

lawns. Scotts, an industry leader in lawn care, notes 

that mulching leaves is a great way for homeowners to 

recycle a natural resource and enrich the soil of their 

lawns. While it might not be possible to mulch fallen 

leaves in late autumn when they begin to fall en 

masse, doing so in the early stages of fall should be 

possible so long as the lawn is not being suffocated. 

•Rake leaves as they start to fall more heavily. 

Once leaves begin to fall more heavily, rake them up 

and add them to compost piles. 

The resource GardeningKnowHow.com notes composting 

leaves creates a dark, rich and organic matter 

that can add nutrients to garden soil and loosen compacted 

earth. Leaving leaves on the lawn once they 

start to fall in great numbers makes it hard for grass 

blades to breathe, and the leaves can block moisture 

from reaching the soil, which needs water to maintain 

strong roots. In addition, potentially harmful 

pathogens can breed on damp leaves left on a lawn, 

and such bacteria can cause significant damage to the 

turf over time. 

•Apply a winterizing fertilizer. Winterizing fertilizers 

can help lawns store food they need to survive 

through winter and also can help them bounce back 

strong in spring. Such fertilizers are typically formulated 

for cool-season grasses such as fescue and bluegrass 

and are often best applied after the final cut of 

fall. Warm-season grasses go dormant in winter, so 

homeowners whose lawns contain these types of grasses 

won’t want to apply a winterizing fertilizer. 

Homeowners who don’t know which type of grass they 

have or are concerned about when to apply a winterizing 

fertilizer should consult with a lawncare professional 

before fertilizing. 

•Remove annuals from the garden. Annuals won’t 

be coming back in spring, so it’s best to remove ones 

that are no longer producing from the garden before 

the arrival of winter. Doing so can prevent the onset of 

fungal diseases that may adversely affect the garden 

in spring. 

Fall is the perfect time for homeowners who spend 

months making their lawns and gardens as lush as 

possible to take steps to prepare such areas for potentially 

harsh winter weather.

Factors when choosing and applying mulch 

Homeowners may associate mulch 

with springtime lawn and garden care, 

but mulching in fall can benefit a lawn as 

well. Mulch protects roots against 

extreme temperatures, and not just 

those associated with summer heat 

waves. 

Mulch is often connected with its ability 

to help soil retain moisture during 

especially warm times of the year, when 

mulch promotes strong roots that can 

help lawns and plants survive periods of 

extreme heat. But when applied in the 

fall, mulch also inhibits freezing and 

thawing in winter, reducing the likelihood 

that plants will be injured. 

While applying mulch in fall can be 

beneficial to lawns, homeowners should 

first consider a few factors. 

•Timing: Mulch being applied as winter 

protection should not be applied too 

early in the fall, as doing so may delay 

the soil freezing process. Homeowners 

should wait until after a hard frost in the 

fall to apply winter mulch. In many 

places, hard frost will not appear until 

late fall. 

•Texture: Try medium-textured 

mulch. Fine particles may pack down 

and retain moisture that will evaporate 

before it reaches the plant roots. 

Materials that are too coarse may be 

incapable of holding sufficient amounts 

of water to benefit the soil. 

•Nutrients: Humus is an organic component 

of soil that forms when leaves 

and other plant materials decompose. 

Organic mulches provide humus and 

decompose over time, adding nutrients 

into the soil. 

•Application: Correct application of 

the mulch is essential. Applying too 

much mulch can adversely affect lawns, 

plants and soil. In addition, excessive 

application can cause decay and make 

lawns and plants more vulnerable to disease. 

Homeowners uncertain about when 

and how to apply mulch in the fall can 

consult with a lawn care professional to 

devise a plan that ensures their lawns 

and gardens hold up against winter 

weather. 

Mulch may be widely associated with 

spring lawn care, but applying mulch in 

the fall can benefit lawns and gardens as 

well.

Why fall is the best season 

to buy a home 

By Jaszmine Davis 

Marketing Coordinator, 

Telhio Credit Union 

The spring and summer seasons are notorious 

for hot days and a hot real estate market. But have 

you ever considered buying a home in the fall? 

Potential home buyers are usually more concerned 

with trick-or-treating and pumpkin spiced lattes 

during the autumnal months, when in reality, they 

should be scoping out neighborhoods as fall is the 

best season to find the perfect property. 

Fall is considered the “off-season” in real estate 

and in turn means less competition. Most buyers 

want to find a home during the summer to avoid 

moving districts before the school year starts, and 

if they don’t, they usually drop out of the market 

until after the new year. Buying in the fall puts you 

in the best position possible: less competition and a 

better chance of having an offer accepted without 

getting into a bidding war against multiple offers. 

“Besides there being less competition for a 

buyer, there tends to be more inventory available, 

which affects the pricing in the buyers favor,” said 

Igor Babamovski, VP Residential Mortgage 

Lending at Telhio Credit Union. “Also, fall weather 

means more rain and wet conditions. This is optimal 

for buyers because any issues such as basement 

dampness or roof leaks can be discovered 

more easily.” 

Buyers also score better deals in the fall. Homes 

that are put on the market during this season are 

new or repositioned inventory that didn’t sell during 

the spring or summer. This means asking prices 

on new inventory are lower, and repositioned 

inventory are seeing price cuts. Sellers are more 

motivated during this season in order to be out 

before the holidays; they are ready to make a deal. 

Buyers are urged to go in at a lower offer and can 

participate in more aggressive negotiations. 

But before jumping into the real estate pond, 

buyers are advised to be well prepared, get preapproved 

first, know their loan options and buying 

power, and hire an experienced real estate agent 

that is familiar with the area you are interested in 

buying.

Active Lifestyles 

A bi-monthly feature celebrating our 

community’s senior citizens 


e benefits of growing older 

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 

brans 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. 

Promoting mental health care 

Mental health care should be a critical part of 

everyone’s overall health and well-being. 

According to the Center for Disease Control and 

Prevention, in 2018 over 45 million Americans experienced 

a mental health condition, more than the populations 

of New York and Florida combined. As for 

adults age 55 and older, 20 percent have experienced 

some type of mental health condition that is not a normal 

component of the aging process. All too often, mental 

health challenges are overlooked and not addressed 

under the assumption they are a normal part of aging. 

Regrettably, far too often older adults do not access 

the help that they need. Mental health conditions that 

go undiagnosed and untreated can have significant 

impact on self-care, daily activities and health and 

safety. Depression, anxiety, personality disorders and 

severe cognitive impairment can be major contributors 

to social isolation, which can result in diminished quality 

of life and premature institutionalization. Mental 

health conditions are often implicated as a factor in 

cases of suicide among older adults, particularly men 

age 85 and older who have the highest rate of suicide 

of any group in the country as reported by the Center 

for Disease Control and Prevention. 

Mental health care is becoming a basic part of primary 

care and should be addressed with the same 

Informed Aging

Missler 

urgency as 

diabetes, 

high blood 

p r e s s u r e 

and other physical health conditions 

that can be prevented and 

treated through a combination of 

medical interventions and behavioral 

changes. Thus, those of all ages should feel 

encouraged to reach out to their healthcare team to 

address mental health challenges. In addition, it is 

imperative that we eliminate the stigma and increase 

public awareness about mental health conditions and 

the effectiveness of treatment. 

The Franklin County Office on Aging recognizes the 

importance of both good mental and physical health 

while aging in place. If you or an elderly loved one is in 

need of mental health care, please contact Senior 

Options at 614-525-6200 to get connected to community 

resources or contact the Get Connected Program 

with Mental Health America of Franklin County at 

614-242-4357 or connect@mhafc.org that will help find 

trusted mental health services. It is imperative that no 

one suffers alone or in silence.

Office on Aging.

Prepared, Not Scared 

Each September, during National Preparedness Month, 

Americans are encouraged and reminded to be prepared for 

disasters or emergencies in their homes, businesses, and 

communities. The 2019 theme is "Prepared, Not Scared." 

Homeowners, families, communities, and businesses can use 

this opportunity to find ways or help others understand more 

about preparing for disasters and reducing risks to health and 

the environment. 

HOW TO PREPARE: 

• Save early for disaster costs - Check your insurance 

coverage to ensure you have appropriate insurance for 

relevant hazards. 

• Make a Plan to Prepare for Disasters – Create an 

emergency plan and practice it. Share your plan with family 

members. Be sure to include pets in your plan. 

• Teach Youth to Prepare for Disasters – Include your 

grandchildren in conversations about preparedness. Discuss 

their role in your support network and how the people in this 

network will assist each other. 

• Get Involved in Your Community’s Preparedness – Every 

community has volunteer organizations that work during 

disasters. Learn what organizations are active in your 

community. Other ways to get involved include taking classes 

in lifesaving skills or simply checking in with neighbors to see 

how you can help each other before or after a storm. 

Additional Suggestions: 

• Direct Deposit - A disaster can disrupt mail service for days 

or weeks. If you depend on Social Security or other regular 

benefits, switching to electronic payments is a simple, 

significant way to protect yourself financially before disaster 

strikes. It also eliminates the risk of stolen checks. 

• Mail order pharmacies – If you take medicines on a daily 

basis subscribe to a mail order service. These services can 

provide a 90 day supply of medicine which will enable you to 

keep at least a week-long supply on hand. However, it’s a 

good idea to place your order at least two weeks before your 

prescription runs out. 

• Weather radio – In the event of severe weather, keep a 

weather radio tuned to your local emergency station and 

monitor TV. Subscribe to or download mobile alerts for 

severe weather warnings in your area. 

Preparing makes sense for older adults. The likelihood that 

you and your family will survive an emergency depends on the 

preplanning and preparation. Our abilities and needs are 

different, but we can all prepare by evaluating our own 

personal needs and those of our loved ones.

Members of the Madison Township Fire Department Honor Guard carry the 

American flag during the 9/11 Memorial Service held at Motts Military Museum in 

Groveport on Sept. 11. The ceremony commemorated and honored the nearly 

3,000 people who died on Sept. 11, 2001 as a result of the terrorist attack on the 

World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and United 

Flight 93 which crashed in Shanksville, Pa. Guest speaker Lt. Dominick Maggiore 

of the Fire Department of New York/EMS (retired), who was at Ground Zero when 

the World Trade Center was attacked, was the guest speaker and told the large 

crowd, “We all lost a little bit of ourselves that day. I hope the young people of today 

never have to feel that pain because it never goes away.”

Jet set 

In early September, more than a 

dozen F-22 Raptors relocated to 

Rickenbacker Air National Guard 

Base from the 1st Fighter Wing at 

Langley Air Force Base located near 

Virginia’s eastern shore, while 

Hurricane Dorian made its way up the 

coast. There were a number of military 

aircraft that used Rickenbacker for a 

safe place to stay during the storm, 

but none seemed to attract the attention 

the Raptors did, drawing a number 

of enthusiasts to wait outside the 

Rickenbacker fence for glimpse of the 

planes. Above, four F-22 Raptors 

make their way down the runway at 

Rickenbacker ANB as more than a 

dozen of the stealth fighter jets headed 

back to their home at Langley AFB. 

At right, one of the F-22 Raptors in 

flight.

CW hydrant flushing 

Canal Winchester’s Division of Water 

will flush fire hydrants between 8 a.m. and 

3:30 p.m., Monday — Friday, from Sept. 23— 

Oct. 11. 

The water department offers tips for 

residents when crews are flushing 

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, please 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 the following: 

•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 have been 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 your faucet screens for trapped particles. 

For information contact Canal 

Winchester’s Division of Water at 614-837- 

5623.
