City, township
talk police service
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Madison Township Police Chief Gary York and Madison
Township Administrator Susan Brobst helped clear the air at the
Oct. 21 Canal Winchester City Council meeting regarding the status
of services provided by township law enforcement.
At the invitation of council and in association with a previous
discussion regarding a bigger bang for taxpayer’s bucks, York–
who became chief in Feb. 2018–said he’s told his officers to have
greater visibility throughout Canal Winchester.
The city contracts with the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office for
primary service, with a sub-station housed in the basement of
Town Hall. However, Fairfield County and Franklin County
(which dispatches the township) are on different systems, thus
creating communication issues.
“We don’t control the formatting of Franklin County,” said
York. “My vision is for our officers to carry an extra radio to monitor
Fairfield County.”
According to a Fairfield County deputy attending the evening
meeting, there is now a memorandum of understanding in regard
to radio communication between the two counties.
“I need to work with Franklin County EMA (Emergency
Management Agency),” said York. “They’re aware of the communications
gap we have here.”
While Madison Township has always had authority to issue
citations in Canal Winchester, those tickets go to Franklin
County. The city and the township are now working on an agreement
changing the situation where township citations go through
the Canal Winchester mayor’s court process.
“It’s going to take some time,” said Brobst. “There is no language
drafted because neither side has any official language. Our
assumption was the county prosecutor was working on this.”
Brobst said they discovered the prosecutor was not working on
any documentation. The township and city must first come to the
county with agreements and asked the county to draft official language
sealing the agreement.
“We just need something official to have an actual ordinance on
your part and then a resolution on our part. The township has to
work through the county prosecutor. You have to work through
Gene (Hollins, city
law director),” said
Brobst.
Hollins said the
main purpose of the
agreement between
the city and township,
which does not
address the radio
issue, is for officers
to write charges
under city code in
order to go to
mayor’s court.

and Halloween party
Trick-or-treat in Canal Winchester
will be on Oct. 31 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
The VFW Post 10523 Halloween party
starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Frances Steube

Canal Winchester Human Services will
help sponsor entertainment for the
evening.
Trick-or-Treat will be held rain or
shine. Please use discretion when allowing
children to participate.

“The amount (of revenue) is minimal,”
said Hollins, “but it allows us to have control
and a little more say about what happens
with the charges.”
Brobst said there are “very, very” few
townships in Ohio that have two cities
within their boundaries and nothing similar
within Franklin County. Madison
Township covers both Canal Winchester
and Groveport.
York said, while a similar situation
exists in Groveport–which operates its
own police department–there is no formalized
agreement between the two entities,
but the process works “seamlessly.” He

called the Canal Winchester situation
unique, but felt there is an easy fix.
“If we write a citation here, why shouldn’t
it be heard here in mayor’s court,” said
York, whose department operates on a
budget of approximately $3.4 million. “We
have to sit down and talk about how to
make it work in Canal Winchester. At the
end of the day, we’re here to provide safety
and it doesn’t matter what the color is of
the uniform.”
Hollins said he could have a resolution
ready for consideration in time for a
November council meeting.
The city of Canal Winchester, with
Canal Winchester Senior Citizens, Inc. and
VFW Post 10523, will host a Veterans Day
celebration on Nov. 9. The public is invited
to join veterans, local leaders, and distinguished
guests for this patriotic event set
in historic downtown Canal Winchester.
Pancake breakfast for veterans
A complementary pancake breakfast for
veterans and their families will be held
from 8:30-10 a.m. at the Frances Steube
Community Center, 22 S. Trine St. The
breakfast will be served by volunteers
headed by Canal Winchester Senior
Citizens club members, with food arrangements
by the family of the late Fred
Bivens, U.S. Air Force veteran and longtime
club member. Other breakfast volunteers
will include youth from Canal
Winchester’s Boy Scout Troop 103 and Girl
Scout Troop 2053.
Veterans March and Ceremony
The Veterans March begins at 10 a.m.
at the Frances Steube Community
Center’s 22 S. Trine St. and travels west
down East Waterloo Street, turning at
South High Street to end at Stradley Place
(located next to Canal Winchester
Municipal Office Building at 36 S. High
St.). A traditional Veterans Day ceremony
will be held at Stradley Place immediately
following the Veterans March.
Marching veterans will be joined by military
vehicles provided by Motts Military
Museum. The ceremony includes remarks

and VFW Post 10523 Commander Rick
Williams, as well as a patriotic keynote
Messenger holiday publication schedule
The Messenger will alter its print publication
schedule for the upcoming holiday
season. The Messenger will publish print
editions of the newspaper that will be
delivered to your home on three consecutive
Sundays on Oct. 27 and Nov. 3. The

U.S. Navy veteran who served during the
1991 Gulf War. Other highlights include a
performance of the “National Anthem” by
Canal Winchester City Councilman Mike
Walker, patriotic selections by the Canal
Winchester High School Marching Band
and Select Vocal Ensemble, a 21 gun
salute, and the playing of “Taps.”
Photo exhibit
During October, event organizers
request submissions of veteran photos, to
be included in an honorary window exhibit
at the municipal building and highlighted
during the Nov. 9 celebration. (Note:
Photos previously submitted to the Canal

be exhibited again and do not need to be
resubmitted.)
Photo submissions should be copies of
an original photo, show veterans or active
military personnel in uniform, be no larger
than 5x7 inches and include the following
information: name, branch of service, service
dates or number of years served, and a
phone number or email address for any follow-up
questions.
Photos can be dropped off at the Canal
Winchester Municipal Building, 36 S. High
St., or The Frances Steube Community

Natural gas aggregation contract
Madison Township’s current natural
gas aggregation is up at the end of
November 2019. Consultant Scott
Belcastro from Trebel has been monitoring
rates as they hit an all-time low the end of
August, then started rising slightly in
September.
Belcastro shared information with the
Madison Township trustees on a new contract,
which allowed the township to lock
in a fixed rate for 24 months, beginning
Dec. 1, 2019. The new rate is $.3749/Ccf
and will remain with Volunteer Energy
Services of Ohio.
According to the Madison Township
trustees, the current contract is a fixed
adder of $.01281 plus the NYMEX price
(which could vary each month). At the time
we secured our Dec. 1, 2017 contract the
price was $.4241/Ccf.
There is no cost to join, no switching
fees and budget billing is available by calling
Columbia Gas at 1-800-344-4077.
Information will be sent to residents in
late October and they will have two weeks
to opt-out of the program, as with previous
contracts. To participate in the program,
nothing needs to be done by the resident.
A follow-up postcard/letter will be sent by
Columbia Gas which notifies the customer
they will be switched (to the new program).
This is a “second chance,” just in case they
didn’t want to participate in the new program.
This step helps prevent door-to-door
and phone solicitors from switching
accounts without authorization of the resident.
Specific questions may be directed to
Trebel LLC at 1-877-861-2772.
print publication and delivery dates for the
remainder of 2019 will be: Nov. 17, Dec. 1,
and Dec. 15. After that, print publication
will resume every other week following the
holidays on Jan. 12.

and science teacher Pat Mariscal reported
on the innovative curriculum project, first
conducted during the 2018-19 school year,
at the Canal Winchester Board of
Education’s Oct. 21 meeting.
“It all tied in with collaboration and critical
thinking,” said Mariscal. “We started

Franklin County drug overdose statistics
The Franklin County Coroner’s Office
released its preliminary overdose death
statistics for the first six months of 2019.
From Jan. 1 to June 30, 2019 the
Franklin County Coroner’s Office saw 254
people die of overdoses. This is approximately
an increase of 4 percent from the
same period last year.
Opiate-related deaths accounted for 85
precent of overdose deaths for the first half
of 2019. Fueling this was fentanyl which
accounted for 75 percent of all overdose
deaths.
Carfentanil-related overdose deaths
accounted for 1.5 percent, similar to the
same period in 2018. Heroin-related deaths
accounted for 5 percent of all overdose
deaths, a further decrease from the same
period in 2018.
Cocaine, methamphetamine and benzodiazepine-related
overdose deaths:
•Cocaine: 41 percent, an increase of 2
percent from 2018;
•Methamphetamines: 10 percent, no
change from 2018; and
•Benzodiazepines: 3 percent, a
decrease of 3 percent from 2018.
Looking at race and ethnicity, 28 percent
of those who died of overdose deaths
were African-American, an increase of 7
percent from same period in 2018. The percentage
of Hispanics who died of overdose
deaths remained at 3 percent in 2019 as
compared to 2018.
The number of males dying of overdoses
continues to be higher than that of females.
The first half of 2019 saw 69 percent of
males dying and 31 percent of females.
This is a slight shift of about 2 percent
more females.
The top five zip codes in Franklin
County with the highest number of overdose
deaths for this period were: 43211,
43223, 43229, 43207 and 43204.
Run Your ‘Stache Off 5K run/walk in CW
The sixth annual Run Your ‘Stache Off
5K run/walk and 1K kid’s run will be held

them (the students) with a challenge and
they worked together.”
The challenge? Work as a team to imagine,
design and prototype a solution to
increase food security in your life, community
or world. Students were grouped
through their interests into 16-17 teams.
In fall 2018, the student-led teams
decided to grow edible plants in a pair of
hydroponic water towers donated by Mount
Carmel Hospital and the Franklin County
Healthy Food Access Program.
Through trial and error, students
learned how to germinate, plant, pollinate
and care for a variety of herbs and vegetables.
In November, daily connection activities
promoted interest in the design challenge
while addressing middle school core
values.
“The kids had to check everything on a
daily basis,” said Daily, “and while watching
a movie, they ate vegetables they grew
instead of popcorn. Through their gardening
efforts, they worked on food security in
the community.”
Mariscal said students also learned
about different cultures and what they
grew in their gardens.
In addition to the hydroponic gardens
and as part of the design challenge, students
researched different types of gardens
such as rooftop, raised beds, and container
CW leaf pick up
The city of Canal Winchester will conduct
curbside leaf collection 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.

Every year around this time, my obsession
begins.
All things pumpkin.
Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin butter,
pumpkin candles, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin
pie Blizzards - I love it all.
Frankly, as we seem to be stuck in our
second summer and the leaves are still a
few weeks away from transforming into a
palette of warm reds, browns and oranges,
I could use some pumpkin to get me in the
fall spirit. In fact, as I write this, I’m drinking
a pumpkin spice latte.
If you’re like me, you appreciate the
aroma and feeling you get when cinnamon,
nutmeg and clove attack your scent and
taste receptors.
These sweet, warm spices instantly
sweep you away, giving you the same comforts
of hearing leaves rustling in the wind
and crunching under your feet on a crisp,
cool morning.
And here’s why you shouldn’t apologize
for your obsession with pumpkin.
It’s science.
You heard that right. Studies show that
we’re conditioned from a very early age to
love fall and everything associated with it.
Think about it. As a child, what are
some of our fondest memories? For some,
it’s going back to school and seeing friends
again. For others, it’s trekking through the
neighborhood with a plastic orange pumpkin
or pillow case from your bedroom full of
candy. Or, gathering around the dinner
table that’s stacked with comfort foods for a
Thanksgiving feast, followed by an afternoon
of football.
We associate these memories with something
we love and enjoy, and therefore tie
these memories to a specific season.
Even for adults, it marks a new beginning
for many. As summer comes to an end,
time turns into a clean slate. In fact, a
study published in the Journal of
Personality and Social Psychology found
there is a relationship between time and
motivation, and that seasons can serve as
temporal landmarks that structure our
perception of time.
There’s also the fact that many establishments
only offer special flavors associated
with a certain season (think peppermint
in the winter, or peach in the summer).
This has both economic and psychological
implications and may partially explain
why we’re especially drawn to a certain flavor
at a specific time of the year.
As it turns out, pumpkins also hold historical
significance in America. According
to the History Channel, pumpkins have
been grown in North America for 5,000
years.
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation
adds that pumpkins were cultivated independently
by indigenous people in North
America and South America, and that
researchers have found seeds at archaeological
sites dating back more than 6,000
years.
Pumpkins also helped sustain colonists
after the crops they
brought with them
from Europe didn’t
survive.
And while the
most popular pumpkins
today are grown
to be porch decor
rather than a staple
in our diets, pumpkins
are still a $5-billion-a-year
industry,
according to the foundation.

year in September, even thousands of years
later we still know how to enjoy pumpkin,
even when it doesn’t make sense (there’s
recipes out there for dishes like pumpkin
chili and pumpkin burgers).
So next time you feel a little guilty about
loving everything pumpkin or like you’re
conforming to a cultural phenomenon, just
remember, your pumpkin bliss is a little bit
of history, science, expert marketing and
just plain goodness all in one.

Same story, different decade
Shortly after the off-beat “dramedy” “Shaun of the
Dead” helped breathe new life into the zombie genre in
2004, the general public put it back in the grave. Book
and movie lovers had turned their attention to beautiful
undead creatures and other dystopian worlds, leaving
little room for reanimated corpses to occupy space.
Those feelings changed, however, with the strong
interest in AMC’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s popular
comic, “The Walking Dead” as well as the release
of a small-budget horror/comedy called “Zombieland.”
When the latter debuted, movie and television studios
held their breath as the box office opened in 2009,
and then promptly exhaled fumes of cash as it reignited
the fuse of interest in the living dead. In the following
years, “Zombieland” has continued to retain and
gain a massive following of fans due to its humor, creative
use of gore, and an excellent cast of actors who
made it such an enjoyable film to watch.
A decade has passed since the premiere of both
movie and television show and interest in the genre
has once again waned. Despite the lack of public want,
AMC continues to create spin-offs of “The Walking
Dead” universe and “Zombieland” has been the recipient
of the sequel treatment.
Like many other films, “Zombieland” did not need a
sequel. It ended with resolution, or as much as one can
be found in an apocalyptic wasteland that is, and no
further details were required or really desired. But
because studios like to squeeze the life out of everything,
here we are
with yet another
unnecessary followup
to a perfectly great
stand-alone.
It takes place several years
after the events in the first film
and little has changed in the
world. The dead are still being
made, zombie kills of the week are
still a thing and our little band of
misfits are still together.
Rather than roam the country
looking for fellow survivors, the
fearsome foursome have settled

the White House. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) has
declared himself president, bringing a “real dignity to

Breslin) has been dealing with a found-family version
of the seven-year-itch.

Franklin County Children’s Services levy on ballot
By Christine Bryant
Staff Writer
A renewal levy on the Nov. 5 ballot will
continue funding for a public agency that
focuses on strengthening families in
Franklin County.
The current tax issue that provides
funding to Franklin County Children
Services will expire at the end of this year.
If voters approve the 3.1-mill levy (Issue
10) in November, they will extend funding
to the agency for another 10 years.
Expected to generate more than $85.6
million annually, Issue 10 currently costs
property owners in Franklin County about
$84.50 per $100,000 in valuation. This
amount would not change if voters approve
the renewal.
Deborah Armstrong, communications
director for Franklin County Children
Services, says nearly two-thirds of the
agency’s annual budget of $212 million is
funded through two levies. In 2014, voters
approved a separate 1.9-mill, 10-year levy.
The agency weighed placing a replacement
levy on the ballet, which would have
increased the amount property owners
would pay, but chose instead to pursue a
renewal levy because of adequate reserves
in place that can help sustain the agency
until the previous 1.9-mill levy expires.
“We felt the agency had enough funding
to sustain itself until the next levy comes
up for renewal in five years,” she said.
Each year, the agency serves more than
30,000 abused and neglected children. In
2018, it placed more than 2,300 in foster
care and almost 2,000 with relatives. The
remaining number of children are served
within their own families, she said.
“One of the things our agency focuses on
is ensuring family-like settings for all children,
particularly our older teens,”
Armstrong said. “That includes working to
recruit more foster homes for children,
increasing the number of children who are
able to be placed in kinship care with other
family members, and being able to provide
support to those family members.”
Areas of focus include the opioid crisis
and the impact of it on Franklin County
families, as well as the effects trauma
events have on children and families.
“Many of our families and children are
involved in traumatic situations, from
domestic violence to mental illness to dealing
with the stressors that come from
poverty,” Armstrong said. “All of these are
very stressful situations for families and
children, so we’re learning more about that
impact and trying to develop partnerships
in the community define resources that can
help address a lot of these issues we are
seeing in families.”
There are many ways the public can
help, from volunteering with the campaign
to granting a child’s holiday wish.
“Our goal is to help educate the community
about the different ways we protect
children and all the different partnerships
we rely on,” Armstrong said.
•Franklin County Children Services is
mandated by law to investigate cases of
abuse, neglect and dependency. Every
year, Franklin County Children Services
helps more than 30,000 abused and neglected
children. The agency offers services
and support to families in crisis so their children
can live in stable homes and become
productive citizens.
•The agency works at keeping children
with their birth families but, when that is not
possible, placement with relatives is the preferred
choice. Kinship care has grown significantly
in the last few years. In 2018, FCCS
placed 1,941 children with kinship caregivers,
an increase of 74 percent since 2014.
•For those children who cannot return
home, Children Services finds loving temporary
or foster families to provide care.
•When a permanent solution is needed, the
agency is successful in securing caring and
committed adoptive families. More than 800
children were adopted in the last five years.
•The opiate crisis has increased the
placement costs of the agency. More children
are in care and their needs, both physically
and emotionally, are more intense.
•Traumatic events and exposure to trauma
disproportionally affect children in child
welfare and require more intensive services.
Children Services offers services, such
as the Therapeutic Arts Program and mentoring
that help children deal with trauma,
grow stronger and provide healthy outlets
for their emotions.
•Up to 67 percent of the agency’s operating
funds come from two 10-year levies—
spread five years apart - a 1.9 mill levy that
was renewed in 2014 and a 3.1 mill levy,
passed in 2009 that expires at the end of
2019. The other 33 percent of funds come
mainly from state and federal dollars.
•The 3.1 mill levy accounts for 42 percent
of the agency’s income. Without continuation
of this levy, vitally needed services
to abused and neglected children will be
impacted.
•The Franklin County Commissioners
have decided to place the 3.1 mil renewal
levy on the November 2019 general election
ballot. This levy will not increase taxes.
It will also be a 10 year levy.

Kerry Sherrill of Metro Parks Slate Run Living Historical Farm is shown here inserting sorghum stalks
into the horse powered sorghum press. The press squeezes the sorghum juice from the stalk into a
bucket. The juice is then boiled down to make sorghum molasses.
How sweet it is!
By Rick Palsgrove
Eastside Editor
Fall is a busy time down on the farm as various
crops are harvested from the fields, including
sorghum which is used to make molasses.
Sorghum molasses is a thick, dark brown syrup
used to sweeten many of the cakes, cookies, as well
as baked beans made at Metro Parks Slate Run
Living Historical Farm, which depicts life on an Ohio
farm in the 1880s. The molasses can also be poured
over biscuits or pancakes.
“Sorghum is very sweet,” said Mike Huels of Slate
Run Living Historical Farm. “It’s not as sweet as
sugar cane, but it is still very sweet.”
The sorghum is harvested in the fall when it is at
its peak. Farm workers strip the leaves from the
sorghum stalks and cut off the seed heads. The
sorghum stalks are then fed by hand, one-by-one
1880s style, into a horse powered press. As the press
turns, it squeezes the juice from the stalks and the
juice is then collected in a bucket. The flattened, dry
stalks come out the other side of the press and are
laid in a circle around the press to give Marcus, the
farm’s horse, more traction as he walks around to
power the press.
Slate Run Living Historical Farm’s Dave Trotter
said the farm uses a sorghum press from the late
19th century made by the Chattanooga Plow
Company.
“It’s a simple machine that needs little maintenance,”
said Trotter. “It has three gears - one big one
on the main cylinder and two on the small cylinders.”
After the sorghum juice is collected, it is poured
into a large, flat evaporator pan and boiled over a
fire. The thin, green juice slowly boils down into a
thick, brown syrup. While it boils, the farmers use a
hand held skimmer to remove the impurities that
boil to the surface in the evaporator pan.
Mike Huels of Metro Parks Slate Run Living
Historical Farm skims off the impurities as the
sorghum juice boils down into molasses in the
evaporator pan.
Huels said it can take around four hours to boil 10
to 12 gallons of sorghum juice down to about two gallons
of syrup. He said this is a much better yield than
what can be obtained during maple sugar season in
the late winter when it takes about 40 gallons of
maple tree sap to get a gallon of maple sugar.
Huels said our farming ancestors would use
sorghum, maple sap, and honey from beehives to
make their own sweeteners because refined sugar
purchased from a store could be expensive.
The process of making sorghum molasses takes a
lot of work, but the tasty payoff is worth the labor.

Voters to decide on tax increase
By Rick Palsgrove
Eastside Editor
Voters in Lithopolis will decide
on a proposed 0.5 percent increase
on the village income tax on Nov. 5.
According to Lithopolis Mayor
Joe Taylor, the village’s current
income tax revenue collections are
approximately $900,000 per year.
“This is a replacement tax,” said
Taylor. “If it doesn’t pass, it will
reduce the budget by approximately
$300,000. It’s not a levy, it’s
income tax. It only effects working
residents, retired residents aren’t
taxed.”
The additional funding raised by
the proposed income tax increase
would be used for public infrastructure,
safety, and parks improvements
and maintenance.
Taylor said the funds would distributed
as follows:
•55 percent would be spent on
street construction, maintenance
and repair, estimated at $165,000
yearly.
•15 percent would be used for
trucks, specifically a new snowplow
truck to replace the village’s 14-
year-old truck at a cost of $45,000
yearly.
•15 percent would go towards

History of Wagnalls
Learn about the history of The Wagnalls
Memorial, 150 E. Columbus St., Lithopolis,
from its founder herself, Mabel Wagnalls
Jones. Librarian and Wagnalls historian
Carol Gaal, will dress as Mabel and give
tours of the building from Mabel’s perspective.
Learn about Mabel’s family, her
famous friends (such as Harry Houdini and
the author O. Henry), and why she wanted
to gift the city of Lithopolis with the
library. You will even visit the “tower
room.” which is usually off-limits to library
guests.
Tours are the second Wednesday of
every month at 7 p.m. They are free of
charge and open to the public.If you have a
larger group that would like a private tour
Alan is at the shelter
waiting to meet you.
This 1-year-old friendly
guy was returned to the
shelter because he
played a little too rough
with a senior dog companion.
He’s not
aggressive at all, but if
he has a friend in the
house, they should be
ready for a high-energy, active partner. Get
out of the house and meet Alan and enjoy this
wonderful weather together. He is up for
adoption at the Franklin County Dog Shelter.
FYI: 614-525-3647 or www.franklincountydogs.com
Rubble has been
returned twice to the
shelter over the past
couple weeks. This guy
is high energy. He can
also be a little snippy
when he plays, which
means he might not be
great with smaller kids.
Rubble needs an active
home. He loves other
dogs and wants to play with them non-stop.
He’s a fast runner, and can jump about four
feet into the air. Does your home have the
energy to tire out Rubble? He’ll play fetch well

Continued from page 4
In the ensuing aftermath, new survivors
are found, advanced zombies are
discovered, and the squabbling band must
come together once more to find the rogue
in their family.
While there is plenty of humor found
within, most stemming from Harrelson’s
cheeky character and the introduction of
two new “love interests”, there is little
deviation from the plot in the original
movie which makes the sequel feel redundant.
Despite the lingering stench of staleness,
it was nice to check back in with the
quartet. Each of the actors continue to play
their characters with aplomb and their
delight to be inhabiting these oddball survivors
reaches those in the audience. They
have fun with the (albeit dated) material
and we have fun as a result; not as much
as they are having, but you can find some
joy watching this film nonetheless.

the value of their service

NO circumstance
should you send any
money in advance or give
the client your checking,

the phone it’s illegal to request
any money before
