SOUPer<br />
Bowl offers<br />
great soups<br />
and helps<br />
community<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
You can satisfy your hunger and help<br />
others in need during Canal Winchester<br />
Human Services’ ninth annual SOUPer<br />
Bowl on Feb. 2.<br />
More than a dozen homemade soups -<br />
along with ceramic bowls handmade by<br />
Canal Winchester High School students,<br />
desserts, a silent auction and bake sale -<br />
are all part of the festivities from 11 a.m. to<br />
2 p.m. at the human services complex, 80<br />
Covenant Way in Canal Winchester.<br />
“Many individuals and groups donate<br />
the soups and desserts,” said Canal<br />
Winchester Human Services Director<br />
Aletha Mullins. “Churches, organizations,<br />
businesses and local residents all join in for<br />
this fun and worthwhile event. The<br />
SOUPer Bowl is our largest annual<br />
fundraiser in which funds are directly<br />
raised for operational costs to keep the<br />
doors of Human Services open.”<br />
According to Mullins–and similar to<br />
homeownership–human services incurs<br />
costs to keep lights on, maintain an Internet<br />
connection, plow the parking lot in<br />
inclement weather, heat and cool the building,<br />
and more.<br />
“This building is our home, and it has<br />
costs associated with keeping it safe and functional,”<br />
said Mullins. “We see the SOUPer Bowl as a way to<br />
have an open house of sorts that allows the entire<br />
family of Canal Winchester to enjoy sports, fellowship,<br />
and service together, just like a family would.”<br />
Funds generated by proceeds from the event are<br />
used to maintain the building and fund operational<br />
costs, which, in turn, enable human services to carry<br />
out daily operations such as the food pantry; medical,<br />
grocery and personal appointments with senior<br />
transportation; and community and senior outreach<br />
events including Adopt-A-Family, Tools for School,<br />
and an annual Easter Egg Hunt.<br />

poses with bowls previously made by high school students.<br />
“That is just a small sampling of what we do, but<br />
our building is a hub of great things happening to<br />
serve others all year around,” said Mullins. “As we<br />
are a non-profit organization, we never want to forget<br />
to extend our appreciation to everyone who joins<br />
in with us for this worthy cause. Collectively, our<br />
schools, churches, businesses, and residents all play<br />
a part, and if we could reach out and hug each and<br />
every one of them we would. A special thanks goes<br />
out to O’Neil Tents, as they always donate to us<br />
tables and chairs for the hundreds of people that will<br />
walk through our doors for the SOUPer Bowl.”<br />

CW gets grant for<br />
McGill Park trail<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Canal Winchester Development Director Lucas Haire said the<br />
city recently received notification of a $450,828 ODNR Clean<br />
Ohio Trails Fund grant for a trail from McGill Park to the covered<br />
bridge.<br />
The city applied for the 50 percent matching grant in February<br />
2019. The total budget for the trail is $901,656, which will serve<br />
as a connector between the city’s existing trail system in the<br />
James Kelly Preserve at the covered bridge on the west end and<br />
the newly developed McGill Park along Walnut Creek.<br />
“It (the trail) will give residents a place to participate in<br />
healthy activities and interact with nature,” said Haire. “It will<br />
expose residents to a beautiful part of the city of Canal<br />
Winchester adjacent to Walnut Creek. The trail will be an amenity<br />
that all residents of Canal Winchester can use regardless of age<br />
or physical abilities. We’re excited to have this portion of the park<br />
complete early in the development of McGill Park. Residents will<br />
be able to use the park and experience the beauty of this piece of<br />
land and understand why we wanted it to be preserved for the use<br />
of all of the community.”<br />
According to Haire, the grant will allow the city to complete<br />

Who will lead council?<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Canal Winchester City Council began the new year at an<br />
impasse in electing a new council president.<br />
However council did unanimously select Mike Coolman as<br />
council vice president during council’s Jan. 6 organizational meeting.<br />
At that meeting council went into a closed door session for<br />
about an hour to discuss committee assignments and appointments<br />
after Mayor Mike Ebert and council members Bob Clark,<br />
Mike Walker and newly-elected council member Chuck Milliken<br />
were sworn in.<br />
When council reconvened nominations were opened for council<br />
president. A motion to nominate Will Bennett failed, followed by<br />
a tie - also resulting in a failure - to nominate Mike Walker as<br />
president. According to council rules, the result ended in a temporary<br />
vacancy, which postponed the vote until a future meeting.<br />
However, when council members turned to filling the vice president<br />
position, the consensus was easily reached with a unanimous<br />
vote for Coolman, who, in the absence of a president, conducted<br />
the rest of the organizational and regular council meetings.<br />
Jill Amos was named chairman of the Rules Committee and<br />
will serve alongside Milliken and Coolman. Milliken was also<br />
appointed as Human Services representative. The Destination:<br />
Canal Winchester board member is Mike Walker, Canal<br />
Winchester Industry and Commerce Corporation representatives<br />
are Bob Clark and Pat Lynch and Amos and Bennett will again<br />
serve on the Canal Winchester Joint Recreation District board.

Franklin County coroner issues overdose death report<br />
The Franklin County Coroner’s Office<br />
released its preliminary overdose death<br />
statistics for the first nine months of 2019.<br />
The statistics used are decedents who<br />
have died of overdoses in the county using<br />
injury location, not residence.<br />
The coroner office statistics are sometimes<br />
different from those of the state and<br />
other agencies who use decedents who have<br />
died of overdoses in the county using residence<br />
only.<br />
By using injury location, the coroner’s<br />
office captures persons who are homeless<br />
with last known addresses in other counties<br />
or states, persons who are “couch surfing”<br />
with last known addresses outside of<br />
Franklin County, persons who have moved<br />

more of the planned improvements to<br />
McGill Park within an expedited time<br />
frame, starting with the first phase later<br />
this year, which includes athletic fields, a<br />
playground, shelter houses, utilities, an<br />
access drive and parking.<br />
“The trail will connect to these amenities<br />
when complete,” Haire said.<br />
The estimated cost for the first phase of<br />
improvements at McGill Park, including<br />
items previously mentioned, is approximately<br />
$2.1 million. The city was awarded<br />
a $500,000 grant last year to complete<br />
improvements through the National Park<br />
Service’s Land and Water Conservation<br />
Fund.<br />
“We are awaiting a final signed agreement<br />
so that we may begin this phase of<br />
work later this year,” said Haire. “Our<br />
hope would be to bid the projects together<br />
and complete them at the same time.”<br />

Mullins said part of human services’<br />
mission statement is to connect people,<br />
resources, and compassion together in<br />
order to support and serve our local community<br />
in life-changing ways.<br />
“We see these elements merge and come<br />
together every day of the year, whether it<br />
is for a food drive, outreach event, or taking<br />
a cancer patient to their medical<br />
appointments.”<br />

Looking at race and ethnicity, 28 percent<br />
of those who died of overdose deaths<br />
were African-American, 67 percent were<br />
Caucasian, 3 percent Hispanic, 1 percent<br />
Asian and 1 percent other, according to the<br />
coroner’s office.<br />
For the first three quarters of 2019, 69.4<br />
percent of the overdose deaths were male<br />

$100,000 Nature Works grant to complete<br />
improvements to Westchester Park,<br />
including additional playground equipment,<br />
a shelter house, expanded parking,<br />
and enhancement of an existing nature<br />
trail.<br />
“With the three grants combined, the<br />
city has received over $1 million in grant<br />
funding related to parks in less than two<br />
years,” said Haire. “This is a direct result<br />
of the Master Parks Plan that the city completed<br />
in 2017 and adopted in 2018. This<br />
set the direction for the improvements that<br />
were necessary and gained the public input<br />
and support to pursue these plans. Having<br />

What to do with former auto museum?<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
The quest for consolidated municipal space in a sprawling<br />
building formally housing a Canal Winchester auto museum<br />
moved into the legislative phase following a Dec. 16 public meeting.<br />
Up for discussion was an ordinance proposing the $2.4 million<br />
purchase of a 23,700 square foot structure sitting on a 1.29-acre<br />
site at 45 E. Waterloo St. Opened in the summer of 2014 by auto<br />
dealer Bob McDorman, the auto museum closed in 2016 after<br />
McDorman passed away in 2015 and its inventory liquidated in<br />
2017.<br />
If the purchase contract, up for a first reading during the regular<br />
council meeting following the public meeting, is approved by<br />
Feb. 12, the seller–Alice McDorman–agrees to finance the contract<br />
on a 10-year term at 4 percent interest. The city would make<br />
quarterly payments of approximately $73,000.<br />
“This would centralize municipal operations within Old Town<br />
of Canal Winchester so they remain in the heart of the community,”<br />
said Canal Winchester Development Director Lucas Haire. “It<br />
would provide for a larger public meeting space to allow for more<br />
resident engagement. There’s just not enough space in our current<br />
environment.”<br />
It was standing room only during the Dec. 16 public meeting as<br />
45 chairs were filled with community members hearing about the<br />
details of the proposed agreement.<br />
Haire said the new space would double the number of available<br />
seats, while also providing overflow space if necessary, along with<br />
expanded office space, meeting rooms, a new community center,<br />
security upgrades and potential room for a larger library branch.<br />
“We’re still one of the fastest growing cities in Ohio,” Haire<br />
said. “It would provide an expanded area for the community center.<br />
When we have heavy rains, that place floods. It’s nearing the<br />
end of its useful life.”<br />
Depending on needs, the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Department<br />
substation could move out of cramped quarters in the basement of<br />
Town Hall, 10 N. High St., and occupy the first floor or take over<br />
part of the 36 N. High St. municipal building.<br />
Haire said the city looked other locations throughout the years,<br />
including sites on North High Street, Groveport Road, Gender<br />
Road, and West Waterloo Street, or expanding into Stradley Park.<br />
He said none met the needs financially or physically that the<br />
McDorman complex provides, even though the city will still need<br />
to budget another $2.2 million for renovations.<br />
“We have not discussed nor intend to ask for any debt from the<br />
residents,” said Canal Winchester Finance Director Amanda<br />
Jackson, who said the contract would be covered by the general<br />
fund, with the renovation initially funded by short-term borrowing.<br />
“Financially speaking, our general fund is very healthy.<br />
Typically we only budget what we think we’ll take in and we’ve<br />
done very well.”<br />
Haire said the Canal Winchester Branch of the Columbus<br />
Metropolitan Library, currently located at 115 Franklin St., is<br />
exploring the idea of relocating to 45 E. Waterloo St.–if the city<br />
ends up purchasing the building–as part of an expansion plan.<br />
There is approximately 8,000 square feet of available space on the<br />
east side of the structure the city planned to initially lease to a<br />
tenant complimenting municipal operations.<br />
“I do like the idea of the library being a part of that,” said Canal<br />
Women’s self-defense class<br />

could one day help to save your life. Awareness, how<br />
not to be a target, punching, striking, kicking, escape<br />

The city of Canal Winchester is seeking to purchase this former<br />
auto museum located on East Waterloo Street.<br />
Winchester City Councilman Mike Walker.<br />
Resident Randy Stemen said larger council chambers and an<br />
upgraded community center would be nice, but he also feels the<br />
city should first list needs and then set priorities. He questioned<br />
why the city is interested in keeping municipal operations downtown.<br />
Former city council member Bobbie Mershon called for another<br />
preliminary study of the current municipal<br />
building and potential for expansion.<br />
“You are taking a whole block of downtown<br />
and creating a space that does not create<br />
tax dollars,” said Mershon. “You don’t<br />
want to take up such a big footprint with<br />
non-tax generating dollars.<br />
Mershon feels the proposed complex is<br />
also over-priced. According to Haire, the<br />
building was initially listed at $3.2 million.<br />
The city’s intent to purchase agreement is<br />
$2.4 million.<br />
“I like the overall concept of the building,”<br />
Canal Winchester City Councilman<br />
Pat Lynch, “but it’s one big piece of an overall<br />
puzzle. I want a clear understanding of<br />
where the money’s coming from and future<br />
expansion.”<br />
While Lynch and Councilman Will<br />
Bennett voted against untabling the ordinance<br />
and Councilman Bruce Jarvis<br />
abstained citing he would not be on the<br />
council when final action was taken, the<br />
ordinance was untabled by the four remaining<br />
council members and moved on for a<br />
first reading on the regular agenda at a<br />
future meeting.<br />

Two unique books for your reading consideration<br />
One of the wondrous things about books<br />
is that they can take on a variety of forms<br />
in which to present information, provide<br />
entertainment, and generate insight.<br />
Two books I enjoyed this past year are<br />
examples of how the traditional narrative<br />
form of a novel or short story can be molded<br />
into something else entirely and be just as<br />
delightful and intriguing.<br />
The books are “Humans of New York:<br />
Stories,” by photographer Brandon<br />
Stanton; and “Notes From a Public<br />
Typewriter,” edited by Michael Gustafson<br />
and Oliver Uberti. The strength of both<br />
books is that they offer personal and philosophical<br />
insights from every day people in<br />
a mere paragraph, or sometimes, one sentence.<br />
Though short, these passages are, in<br />
essence, fully formed short stories in their<br />
own right.<br />
“Humans of New York: Stories” sprang<br />
from Stanton’s online blog, “Humans of<br />
New York.” Over the past few years<br />
Stanton has photographed and interviewed<br />
about 10,000 strangers of all ages he met<br />
on the streets of New York. Each page of<br />
the book has a photo of the interviewee and<br />
some statements from Stanton’s interviews<br />
with them. It is personal storytelling with<br />
a face. Stanton’s photos appear to capture<br />
the personalities of the anonymous people<br />
being interviewed.<br />
There’s a photo of a pensive man, who<br />
looks to be approaching middle age, sitting<br />
Editor’s Notebook<br />
in a park. He<br />
observes to Stanton<br />
that, as we age, there<br />
are fewer things to<br />
experience for the<br />
first time and, even<br />
when one does, the<br />
excitement is muted.<br />
But he adds one also<br />
does not feels as hurt.<br />
He then ponders<br />
what it will feel like<br />
when he reaches age<br />
70.<br />
Rick<br />
Palsgrove<br />
Another photo<br />
shows a man walking<br />
with a cat on his head. The man matter-offactly<br />
tells Stanton that one can make<br />
more money with a cat on one’s head than<br />
if the cat is on one’s shoulder.<br />
Some of the people’s comments express<br />
alienation. Some are joyful. Some people<br />
are forthcoming with their words and others<br />
are more reticent. Some are sad. Some<br />
are funny, such as the little girl who told<br />
Stanton she wanted to be a princess hairdresser.<br />
When he asked her what the hardest<br />
part of that job was she answered that<br />
it would be cutting Rapunzel’s hair.<br />
I often make notes in the books I own of<br />
the page numbers and passages I like and<br />
will revisit in the future. My copy of<br />
“Humans of New York: Stores” has dozens<br />
of such notations.<br />
The content in “Notes From a Public<br />
Typewriter” was gathered when a typewriter<br />
with paper was set up in a Michigan<br />
book store and people were invited to<br />
anonymously type a message. Much like in<br />
“Humans of New York: Stories,” the passages<br />
in “Notes From a Public Typewriter”<br />
can be a paragraph, a sentence, or one<br />
word. Where “Humans of New York:<br />
Stories” presents storytelling with a face<br />
filtered through an interview, “Notes From<br />
a Public Typewriter” brings the typists’<br />
thoughts directly to you from their brains,<br />
through their fingers on the typewriter<br />
keys, to the typefaced words all can read.<br />
The many typed messages collected in<br />
the book are widely varied in temperament<br />
and can be described as poignant, humorous,<br />
hopeful, raw, sad, philosophical,<br />
romantic, questioning, and more. Some<br />
examples include: someone who typed that<br />
they race snowflakes to see who falls first;<br />
a writer comparing their lover’s eyes to<br />
that of wonderful August skies; another<br />
noted that they were on a date, but their<br />
bladder was leaking; and, in what had to be<br />
more youthful typists, asking where the<br />
power button is on the typewriter and<br />
another who wrote if they had to type an<br />
essay on “this thing” they would quit<br />
school.<br />
Both books are a random sampling of<br />
the thoughts that go through our heads on<br />
a daily basis. A dominant theme in both<br />
books is love and relationships, which indicates<br />
the age old battle of loneliness marches<br />
on.<br />
One typist’s comment seemed to sum up<br />
both books’ contents, as well as the human<br />
condition, as they wrote that, in the end,<br />
we are all stories.<br />

Obetz passes <strong>2020</strong> budget totaling more than $48 million<br />
By Ris Twigg<br />
Staff Writer<br />
The village of Obetz passed its final<br />
<strong>2020</strong> appropriations budget and created<br />
two new divisions at its December council<br />
meeting.<br />
Obetz’s general fund for <strong>2020</strong> totals<br />
more than $14.7 million for the upcoming<br />
year and can be spent on any legal village<br />
expenses, while the rest of the budget –<br />
which has a series of funds meant for specific<br />
purchases only – adds up to more<br />
than $33 million.<br />
“We have loaded everything in that you<br />
need to be able to function,” said Rod<br />
Davisson, Obetz economic development<br />
director. “I expect we will re-look at these<br />
things more closely in <strong>January</strong> and make<br />
sure that both the outgoing council and<br />
incoming council have a chance to coordinate.”<br />
The total $48.8 million appropriations<br />
budget only covers the village’s expenses,<br />
Davisson said, and does not include revenue.<br />
Notable line items in the budget<br />
include: $1 million for the capital improvement<br />
fund for things like new parks and<br />
over $2.5 million for street improvements,<br />
among other expenditures.<br />
One difference between this year’s budget<br />
and last year’s is that Obetz’s capital<br />
outlay numbers have decreased because<br />
the village has been taking loans from<br />
funds in future years in order to “deliver<br />
projects now and pay (them) back later,”<br />
Davisson said.<br />
Two public works divisions created<br />
In addition to passing their annual<br />
budget appropriations, council created two<br />
new divisions within Obetz’s Department<br />
of Public Works and codified four other<br />
divisions in both the Department of Public<br />
Works and the Department of<br />
Development.<br />
Three of the divisions have appointed<br />
directors moving into <strong>2020</strong>, and the<br />
remaining will be filled in as the need arises,<br />
Davisson said.<br />
“As we move toward becoming a city,<br />
things become more regimented, and you<br />
need more structure in that,” he said. “This<br />
is installing that structure.”<br />
The two new divisions include a grounds<br />
crew and space for research and development,<br />
a division Davisson said will make<br />
the village more efficient.<br />
“We realize when you buy stuff as a village,<br />
it’s expensive. You’re using taxpayers’<br />
hard-earned money to buy things that<br />
aren’t terribly sexy, like stop signs,”<br />
Davisson said. “We have taken the<br />
approach here that government can do better.”<br />
For instance, the Village of Obetz<br />
pets of the week<br />
invested in a field-lining robot. According<br />
to Davisson, it takes two workers about<br />
three days to line one football field. The village<br />
lines a variety of sports fields about<br />
15-20 times a year, he said.<br />
“So we bought a $30,000 robot. You put<br />
paint in it, turn it on, and it does a football<br />
field in two-and-a-half hours. So it’s those<br />
investments – either buying new technology<br />
and implementing it or developing our<br />
own – that are going to allow us to remain<br />
efficient stewards of the taxpayers’ money,”<br />
Davisson said.<br />
Mayor recognized; Wiley and Hall<br />
are honored for their service<br />
Obetz Village Council recognized Mayor<br />
Greg Scott’s service to Obetz over the last<br />
15 years and said their goodbyes to the outgoing<br />
mayor.<br />
During his time as Obetz mayor, Scott<br />
helped spur the construction of Fortress<br />
Obetz, added over 300 acres to the Obetz<br />
park system and helped bring thousands of<br />
jobs – and their income tax revenue – to<br />
Obetz.<br />
Council also passed ordinances renaming<br />
two separate Obetz facilities after two<br />
Obetz staff members who passed away this<br />
fall.<br />
Jim Wiley was a former village council<br />
member who passed away in November.<br />
Council posthumously honored him at the<br />
meeting by renaming the newly-constructed<br />
Obetz Sledding Hill to “Wiley Hill.”<br />
Both Scott and Davisson agreed that<br />
Wiley was “an advocate for the kids.”<br />
“If you said, ‘We’re going to spend a $100<br />
million to make an Obetz kid happy’, he<br />
would have said, ‘Yes, let’s do it,’” Davisson<br />
said. “Jim was a man of the people. He<br />
wanted to be out there. He wanted to hear<br />
what people thought and that’s going to be<br />
hard to replace.”<br />
Another staff member, Kevin Hall, former<br />
superintendent of Obetz’s service<br />
department, unexpectedly passed away<br />
this fall just four weeks after his cancer<br />
diagnosis, Davisson said.<br />
To honor his years of work in the service<br />
department, council named the Obetz service<br />
complex the “Kevin M. Hall Service<br />
Complex” to keep his legacy of kindness<br />
and hard-working spirit alive in Obetz for<br />
years to come.<br />
Both of these places – the Kevin M.<br />
Hall Service Complex and Wiley Hill – are<br />
located right next to each other.<br />
Council held a tribute to Wiley on<br />
Thursday, Dec. 19 in the council chamber<br />
at 4175 Alum Creek Drive.<br />
“Both of them were tragic losses for us.<br />
They are going to be impossible to replace<br />
for us and both of them happened way too<br />
quickly,” Davisson said.<br />
Tristan, 3, is still hanging<br />
out at the shelter<br />
waiting for his forever<br />
family. This affectionate<br />
guy is smart, quiet and<br />
housebroken. His<br />
sleepover host said<br />
“Tristan is an absolute<br />
angel!” We also learned<br />
he’s not a fan of stairs.<br />
His favorite TV channel<br />
is the Food Network as he loves treats. Share<br />
some bacon cookies with this handsome guy<br />
today. He is up for adoption at the Franklin<br />
County Dog Shelter.<br />
FYI: 614-525-3647 or www.franklincountydogs.com<br />
Jerome is patiently<br />
waiting at the shelter to<br />
meet you. This 1-yearold<br />
sweet guy can get a<br />
little hyper and will need<br />
positive reinforcement<br />
training to learn some<br />
manners. Because of<br />
this, we recommend he<br />
be in a home with older<br />
children. Come check<br />

Omega watched as everything was moved<br />
out of the house, except him. They came and<br />
fed him, but left him in<br />
his crate for many days<br />
alone. They frantically<br />
tried to find someone to<br />
take him but no one<br />
said yes. Now Omega is<br />
safe with us and is<br />
seeking a new family<br />
and home. He’s a big,<br />
playful boy that is still a<br />
little nervous but doing<br />
well in foster care. DOB Aug 2018 Omega is<br />
a boxer/mastiff mix weighing 65 lbs. He's<br />
neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative<br />
and up to date on vaccines. He would be<br />
best suited in a home without small children<br />
due to his energy level and size. He’s in a foster<br />
home so if you are interested in adopting<br />
him, fill out an online adoption application at<br />

Otter, a ticked tabby<br />
who was born April<br />
2017, is currently in our<br />
Zen Den at the adoption<br />
center as she’s a bit on<br />
the shy side. She purrs<br />
non-stop and is hoping<br />
someone will open their<br />
heart and home to her.<br />
She’s very playful and<br />
sweet. Otter is spayed,<br />

negative and up to date on vaccines. 2740<br />

CW Human Services had a busy year in 2019<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Canal Winchester Human Services has<br />
come a long way from its humble beginnings<br />
in 1955 when a local family lost their<br />
home in a fire and the town responded by<br />
forming Emergency Assistance and Adopt-<br />
A-Family programs.<br />
Over the course of 65 years, more programs,<br />
such as senior transportation and<br />
the food pantry, were added as need and<br />
the population grew.<br />
“The scope and depth at which we can<br />
impact those in our immediate area has<br />
made CW Human Services a hub of compassion<br />
in Canal Winchester, meeting people<br />
‘where they are in life’ in very practical<br />
and meaningful ways,” said Canal<br />
Winchester Human Services Director<br />
Aletha Mullins.<br />
Last year, staff changes found Mullins<br />
promoted from operations manager to<br />
director. Shortly thereafter, two new staff<br />
members were hired to oversee daily operations<br />
and provide communications and<br />
grant writing support for the organization<br />
as a whole.<br />
“A specific challenge we faced in 2019<br />
had to do with revamping the digital face of<br />
our organization with a redesigned website<br />
and more intentional use of media such as<br />
Facebook,” said Mullins. “We are a hub of<br />
“An ongoing challenge that any<br />
non-profit organization faces on a<br />
yearly basis is in finding the balance<br />
between funding the various programs<br />
within the organization while<br />
also seeking and acquiring funds for<br />
operational costs that are not always<br />
provided for with program-specific<br />
grants and donations.”<br />
- Aletha Mullins, director<br />
CW Human Services<br />
so many events and activities with connections<br />
to so many people, and we found we<br />
needed to connect and communicate what<br />
we are doing in more intentional and sometimes<br />
real-time ways.”<br />
In December, human services needed<br />
children’s coats for its annual Adopt-A-<br />
Family program, and, within 24 hours of<br />
posting the need on the organization’s<br />
Facebook page, more than 50 coats were<br />
donated overnight in its drop box.<br />
Emergency Assistance provides financial<br />
help towards utility shut-off and<br />
rent/mortgage eviction situations. In 2019,<br />
21 families were provided assistance.<br />
Senior Transportation fulfills a variety<br />
of needs, from medical appointments to<br />
personal trips. Group trips are scheduled<br />
every week to four local groceries in the<br />
community. In 2019, 4,123 one-way trips<br />
were driven for a total of 33,284 miles.<br />
The Community Food Pantry is a designated<br />
Choice Pantry where clients have the<br />
opportunity to shop for preferred foods<br />
twice a month and up to a total of 30 meals<br />
per family each month.<br />
Under the umbrella of the food pantry,<br />
low-income students within the school district<br />
are also served through the Feeding<br />
Our Future weekend backpack program,<br />
which provides food to these students<br />
throughout the school year by sending food<br />
home each Friday.<br />
In 2019, the Choice Pantry served 5,573<br />
individuals and 77,147 meals were provided<br />
overall.<br />
Over 100 students were given weekend<br />
food through the backpack program, for a<br />
total of 2,492 meals.<br />
Nearly 300 individuals and 72 families–including<br />
208 children–were served<br />
in 2019 through Community and Senior<br />
Outreach, which assists the youngest to<br />
the oldest within the Canal Winchester<br />
community.<br />
Programs include once-a-month senior<br />
lunches at the Steube Community Center;<br />
Tools for School, which assists students<br />
throughout the year; and, Adopt-a-Family,<br />
which provides gifts, clothing and all the<br />
“fixin’s” for a family Christmas dinner.<br />
“An ongoing challenge that any nonprofit<br />
organization faces on a yearly basis<br />
is in finding the balance between funding<br />
the various programs within the organization<br />
while also seeking and acquiring funds<br />
for operational costs that are not always<br />
provided for with program-specific grants<br />
and donations,” said Mullins. “We have<br />
found that many people use our programs,<br />
but they don’t realize the full scope of what<br />
we do across the board.”<br />
At the end of 2019, Destination:Canal<br />
Winchester held their first annual<br />
Reindeer Run with proceeds directly benefiting<br />
the Adopt-A-Family program.<br />
Mullins said there are two other fundraisers<br />
on the horizon that will also support<br />
Adopt-A-Family and other outreaches as<br />
well.<br />
“In general, our new staff will be reaching<br />
out to churches and organizations to<br />
maintain and/or strengthen our partnerships<br />
and potential impact in our community,”<br />
said Mullins. “People can find out<br />
about our organization, programs, and<br />
events at www.cwhumanservices.org, at<br />
facebook.com/cwhumanservices, or call<br />
614-834-4700.”<br />
Township Police &<br />
collaborative standards<br />
The Madison Township Police<br />
Department and the Hilliard Division of<br />
Police implemented state standards established<br />
by the Ohio Collaborative<br />
Community-Police Advisory Board as part<br />
of the state’s efforts to strengthen community<br />
and police relations.<br />
There are 449 agencies employing over<br />
26,000 officers (representing over 75 percent<br />
of all law enforcement officers in Ohio,<br />
including most of Ohio’s metropolitan areas)<br />
that are certified, and 57 that are in the<br />
process of becoming certified by meeting<br />
standards for the use of force, including deadly<br />
force, and agency recruitment and hiring.<br />
The standards were developed and<br />
established by the Ohio Collaborative<br />
Community-Police Advisory Board as part<br />
of the state’s efforts to strengthen community<br />
and police relations.<br />
The state partnered with the Buckeye<br />
State Sheriffs’ Association and the Ohio<br />
Association of Chiefs of Police to help certify<br />
Ohio’s nearly 900 law enforcement agencies<br />
on a process to ensure that they are in<br />
compliance with Ohio’s new standards.<br />
Legacy of Love 5K<br />
The Legacy of Love 5K is coming on<br />
March 22 at noon to the Groveport<br />
Recreation Center, 7370 Groveport Road.<br />
Previously held in Bexley, the Legacy of<br />
Love 5K is the primary fundraiser for the<br />
Alexandria Leigh Goodwin Angel<br />
Foundation (ALGA), an organization committed<br />
to creating a more positive, loving<br />
world through random good deeds.<br />
The Foundation was created in the<br />
memory of Alexandria “Alex” Goodwin, a<br />
2014 graduate of Groveport Madison High<br />
School and a student who had just finished<br />
her sophomore year at Capital<br />
University at the time of her unexpected<br />
passing.<br />
Sara Sherman, ALGA founder/board<br />
chair, said Alex’s family and friends recognized<br />
that the energy she created in the<br />
world was still badly needed, and created<br />
the ALGA Foundation in 2017 to continue<br />
her spirit of kindness, and to encourage all<br />
to build their own legacy of love by simply<br />
performing random acts of goodness as the<br />
opportunity arises.<br />
To date, the foundation has given over<br />
$4,000 in scholarships to Groveport<br />
Madison High School graduates and<br />
Capital University students, $1,000 to<br />
Groveport Madison Human Needs, $400 to<br />
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of<br />
Franklin County, and will soon deliver 30<br />
sleeping bags to local residents experiencing<br />
homelessness.<br />
According to Sherman, the Legacy of<br />
Love 5K is a high energy event with lots of<br />
music, awards, goodies, and raffle prizes.<br />
You can participate by running, walking,<br />
cheering and/or donating; and of course, by<br />
sponsoring.<br />

AUTHORIZING THE SALE AT PUBLIC AUCTION<br />
OF REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE BOARD AND<br />
NO LONGER NEEDED FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES<br />
(Ohio Revised Code §3313.41)<br />
WHEREAS, the Canal Winchester Local School District Board of Education (the "Board") is the owner of<br />
approximately 2.50 acres of certain real property located at Groveport Road, Canal Winchester, Ohio, known<br />
as Franklin County Auditor tax parcel number 184-002281-00 inclusive of all improvements located thereon<br />
and more particularly described on the drawing attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Property”), which Property<br />
the Board has determined to offer for sale at public auction in the manner<br />
prescribed by Ohio Revised Code (“O.R.C.”) §3313.41.<br />
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board that:<br />
Section 1. It is found and determined that the Property, which exceeds $10,000 in value, is no longer needed<br />
for school purposes.<br />
Section 2. The Board finds that there are no start-up community schools or collegepreparatory boarding<br />
schools located within the territory of the School District and therefore the Board is not required to first offer<br />
the Property to such entities pursuant to O.R.C. §3313.413(B). Further, there are no STEM/STEAM schools<br />
in the District's territory entitled to notice of the sale under O.R.C. §3313.413(B) besides Canal Winchester<br />
Middle School and Winchester Trail Elementary, but this Board is the governing board of those schools and<br />
has determined the Property is not needed by such schools.<br />
Section 3. The Property shall be presented for sale at public auction in the manner prescribed by O.R.C.<br />
§3313.41 after giving at least thirty (30) days’ notice of the sale by publication in the <strong>Eastside</strong> <strong>Messenger</strong>, a<br />
newspaper of general circulation in the School District, in accordance with O.R.C. §3313.41.<br />
Section 4. The sale of the Property shall be made on the following terms and conditions and such other terms<br />
and conditions as the Board may subsequently impose prior to conducting the auction:<br />
a. The auction will be conducted beginning at 6:00 p.m. on February 10, <strong>2020</strong> and will be held at the<br />
Education Center, Board Room, located at 100 Washington Street, Canal Winchester, Ohio.<br />
b. The auction shall be subject to a right of the Board to reject all bids for the Property if it finds that no<br />
acceptable bids have been made.<br />
e. The Property will be sold on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis, with no representations or warranties of any<br />
kind given by the Board.<br />
Section 5. The Superintendent, Treasurer, and/or Board President are hereby authorized and directed to do<br />
all things necessary and consistent with this resolution to accomplish the sale of the Property at public auction,<br />
including paying reasonable costs incurred in connection therewith. The Board President and Treasurer shall<br />
execute the deed conveying the Property to the applicable purchaser at closing if the high bid is accepted by<br />
the Board.<br />
