CW leaf pick up<br />
The city of Canal Winchester will conduct<br />
curbside leaf collection through Dec.<br />
13. To avoid water backup in the event of<br />
rain, leaf piles must be placed behind the<br />
curb along the street. Leaf piles may contain<br />
leaves only, as sticks, grass trimmings<br />
and other yard waste can cause<br />
damage to leaf collection equipment.<br />
Regular yard waste will continue to be<br />
picked up by Waste Management during<br />
scheduled trash collection.<br />
North Pole Village<br />
The Groveport Town Hall art gallery,<br />

more than 200 animals, and 7 pounds of<br />
snow in an old fashioned village decorated<br />
for the holidays. For information call 614-<br />

Canal Winchester High School students<br />
will encounter a new library when they<br />
return from the winter holiday break.<br />
During the Nov. 18 Canal Winchester<br />
Board of Education meeting,<br />
Superintendent Jim Sotlar reported on<br />
construction progress at the high school,<br />
including the library and an auxiliary gym,<br />
which will serve as a holding area until the<br />
rest of the building is done in 2020.<br />
“By Christmas break, we’ll have access<br />
to the media center and open it to students<br />
in January 2020,” said Sotlar, before<br />
adding that the former library space will<br />
then close in preparation to be turned into<br />
office space.<br />
“The big work this summer will be in<br />
the center of the building,” said Sotlar. “A<br />
lot of work will be done this summer.<br />
That’s why we’re starting school later next<br />
year.”<br />
Carpeting and tile are in place in the<br />
new media center and, once other projects<br />
are completed, a new entrance to the center<br />
will be constructed during the summer<br />
break.<br />
Flooring in the auxiliary gym should be<br />
in place later this week. Sotlar likened the<br />

High school construction update<br />
wood pattern to one in place in the old<br />
Boston Garden. Above-ceiling work continues<br />
in the art wing during the night when<br />
students are not in school.<br />
“We’re looking good for Aug. 20,” said<br />
Sotlar. “It’s going to be well worth it.”<br />
