SOUPer

Bowl offers

great soups

and helps

community

By Linda Dillman

Staff Writer

You can satisfy your hunger and help

others in need during Canal Winchester

Human Services’ ninth annual SOUPer

Bowl on Feb. 2.

More than a dozen homemade soups -

along with ceramic bowls handmade by

Canal Winchester High School students,

desserts, a silent auction and bake sale -

are all part of the festivities from 11 a.m. to

2 p.m. at the human services complex, 80

Covenant Way in Canal Winchester.

“Many individuals and groups donate

the soups and desserts,” said Canal

Winchester Human Services Director

Aletha Mullins. “Churches, organizations,

businesses and local residents all join in for

this fun and worthwhile event. The

SOUPer Bowl is our largest annual

fundraiser in which funds are directly

raised for operational costs to keep the

doors of Human Services open.”

According to Mullins–and similar to

homeownership–human services incurs

costs to keep lights on, maintain an Internet

connection, plow the parking lot in

inclement weather, heat and cool the building,

and more.

“This building is our home, and it has

costs associated with keeping it safe and functional,”

said Mullins. “We see the SOUPer Bowl as a way to

have an open house of sorts that allows the entire

family of Canal Winchester to enjoy sports, fellowship,

and service together, just like a family would.”

Funds generated by proceeds from the event are

used to maintain the building and fund operational

costs, which, in turn, enable human services to carry

out daily operations such as the food pantry; medical,

grocery and personal appointments with senior

transportation; and community and senior outreach

events including Adopt-A-Family, Tools for School,

and an annual Easter Egg Hunt.

“That is just a small sampling of what we do, but

our building is a hub of great things happening to

serve others all year around,” said Mullins. “As we

are a non-profit organization, we never want to forget

to extend our appreciation to everyone who joins

in with us for this worthy cause. Collectively, our

schools, churches, businesses, and residents all play

a part, and if we could reach out and hug each and

every one of them we would. A special thanks goes

out to O’Neil Tents, as they always donate to us

CW gets grant for

McGill Park trail

By Linda Dillman

Staff Writer

Canal Winchester Development Director Lucas Haire said the

city recently received notification of a $450,828 ODNR Clean

Ohio Trails Fund grant for a trail from McGill Park to the covered

bridge.

The city applied for the 50 percent matching grant in February

2019. The total budget for the trail is $901,656, which will serve

as a connector between the city’s existing trail system in the

James Kelly Preserve at the covered bridge on the west end and

the newly developed McGill Park along Walnut Creek.

“It (the trail) will give residents a place to participate in

healthy activities and interact with nature,” said Haire. “It will

expose residents to a beautiful part of the city of Canal

Winchester adjacent to Walnut Creek. The trail will be an amenity

that all residents of Canal Winchester can use regardless of age

or physical abilities. We’re excited to have this portion of the park

complete early in the development of McGill Park. Residents will

be able to use the park and experience the beauty of this piece of

land and understand why we wanted it to be preserved for the use

of all of the community.”

According to Haire, the grant will allow the city to complete

Who will lead council?

By Linda Dillman

Staff Writer

Canal Winchester City Council began the new year at an

impasse in electing a new council president.

However council did unanimously select Mike Coolman as

council vice president during council’s Jan. 6 organizational meeting.

At that meeting council went into a closed door session for

about an hour to discuss committee assignments and appointments

after Mayor Mike Ebert and council members Bob Clark,

Mike Walker and newly-elected council member Chuck Milliken

were sworn in.

When council reconvened nominations were opened for council

president. A motion to nominate Will Bennett failed, followed by

a tie - also resulting in a failure - to nominate Mike Walker as

president. According to council rules, the result ended in a temporary

vacancy, which postponed the vote until a future meeting.

However, when council members turned to filling the vice president

position, the consensus was easily reached with a unanimous

vote for Coolman, who, in the absence of a president, conducted

the rest of the organizational and regular council meetings.

Jill Amos was named chairman of the Rules Committee and

will serve alongside Milliken and Coolman. Milliken was also

appointed as Human Services representative. The Destination:

Canal Winchester board member is Mike Walker, Canal

Winchester Industry and Commerce Corporation representatives

are Bob Clark and Pat Lynch and Amos and Bennett will again

serve on the Canal Winchester Joint Recreation District board.

Franklin County coroner issues overdose death report

The Franklin County Coroner’s Office

released its preliminary overdose death

statistics for the first nine months of 2019.

The statistics used are decedents who

have died of overdoses in the county using

injury location, not residence.

The coroner office statistics are sometimes

different from those of the state and

other agencies who use decedents who have

died of overdoses in the county using residence

only.

By using injury location, the coroner’s

office captures persons who are homeless

with last known addresses in other counties

or states, persons who are “couch surfing”

this year, which includes athletic fields, a

“The trail will connect to these amenities

when complete,” Haire said.

The estimated cost for the first phase of

improvements at McGill Park, including

items previously mentioned, is approximately

$2.1 million. The city was awarded

a $500,000 grant last year to complete

improvements through the National Park

Service’s Land and Water Conservation

What to do with former auto museum?

By Linda Dillman

Staff Writer

The quest for consolidated municipal space in a sprawling

building formally housing a Canal Winchester auto museum

moved into the legislative phase following a Dec. 16 public meeting.

Up for discussion was an ordinance proposing the $2.4 million

purchase of a 23,700 square foot structure sitting on a 1.29-acre

site at 45 E. Waterloo St. Opened in the summer of 2014 by auto

dealer Bob McDorman, the auto museum closed in 2016 after

McDorman passed away in 2015 and its inventory liquidated in

2017.

If the purchase contract, up for a first reading during the regular

council meeting following the public meeting, is approved by

Feb. 12, the seller–Alice McDorman–agrees to finance the contract

on a 10-year term at 4 percent interest. The city would make

quarterly payments of approximately $73,000.

“This would centralize municipal operations within Old Town

of Canal Winchester so they remain in the heart of the community,”

said Canal Winchester Development Director Lucas Haire. “It

would provide for a larger public meeting space to allow for more

resident engagement. There’s just not enough space in our current

environment.”

It was standing room only during the Dec. 16 public meeting as

45 chairs were filled with community members hearing about the

details of the proposed agreement.

Haire said the new space would double the number of available

seats, while also providing overflow space if necessary, along with

expanded office space, meeting rooms, a new community center,

security upgrades and potential room for a larger library branch.

“We’re still one of the fastest growing cities in Ohio,” Haire

said. “It would provide an expanded area for the community center.

When we have heavy rains, that place floods. It’s nearing the

end of its useful life.”

Depending on needs, the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Department

substation could move out of cramped quarters in the basement of

Town Hall, 10 N. High St., and occupy the first floor or take over

part of the 36 N. High St. municipal building.

Haire said the city looked other locations throughout the years,

including sites on North High Street, Groveport Road, Gender

Road, and West Waterloo Street, or expanding into Stradley Park.

He said none met the needs financially or physically that the

McDorman complex provides, even though the city will still need

to budget another $2.2 million for renovations.

“We have not discussed nor intend to ask for any debt from the

residents,” said Canal Winchester Finance Director Amanda

Jackson, who said the contract would be covered by the general

fund, with the renovation initially funded by short-term borrowing.

“Financially speaking, our general fund is very healthy.

Typically we only budget what we think we’ll take in and we’ve

done very well.”

Haire said the Canal Winchester Branch of the Columbus

Metropolitan Library, currently located at 115 Franklin St., is

exploring the idea of relocating to 45 E. Waterloo St.–if the city

ends up purchasing the building–as part of an expansion plan.

There is approximately 8,000 square feet of available space on the

east side of the structure the city planned to initially lease to a

tenant complimenting municipal operations.

“I do like the idea of the library being a part of that,” said Canal

The city of Canal Winchester is seeking to purchase this former

auto museum located on East Waterloo Street.

Winchester City Councilman Mike Walker.

Resident Randy Stemen said larger council chambers and an

upgraded community center would be nice, but he also feels the

city should first list needs and then set priorities. He questioned

why the city is interested in keeping municipal operations downtown.

Former city council member Bobbie Mershon called for another

preliminary study of the current municipal

building and potential for expansion.

“You are taking a whole block of downtown

and creating a space that does not create

tax dollars,” said Mershon. “You don’t

want to take up such a big footprint with

non-tax generating dollars.

Mershon feels the proposed complex is

also over-priced. According to Haire, the

building was initially listed at $3.2 million.

The city’s intent to purchase agreement is

$2.4 million.

“I like the overall concept of the building,”

Canal Winchester City Councilman

Pat Lynch, “but it’s one big piece of an overall

puzzle. I want a clear understanding of

where the money’s coming from and future

expansion.”

While Lynch and Councilman Will

Bennett voted against untabling the ordinance

and Councilman Bruce Jarvis

abstained citing he would not be on the

council when final action was taken, the

ordinance was untabled by the four remaining

council members and moved on for a

first reading on the regular agenda at a

future meeting.

Two unique books for your reading consideration

One of the wondrous things about books

is that they can take on a variety of forms

in which to present information, provide

entertainment, and generate insight.

Two books I enjoyed this past year are

examples of how the traditional narrative

form of a novel or short story can be molded

into something else entirely and be just as

delightful and intriguing.

The books are “Humans of New York:

Stories,” by photographer Brandon

Stanton; and “Notes From a Public

Typewriter,” edited by Michael Gustafson

and Oliver Uberti. The strength of both

books is that they offer personal and philosophical

insights from every day people in

a mere paragraph, or sometimes, one sentence.

Though short, these passages are, in

essence, fully formed short stories in their

own right.

“Humans of New York: Stories” sprang

from Stanton’s online blog, “Humans of

New York.” Over the past few years

Stanton has photographed and interviewed

about 10,000 strangers of all ages he met

on the streets of New York. Each page of

the book has a photo of the interviewee and

some statements from Stanton’s interviews

with them. It is personal storytelling with

a face. Stanton’s photos appear to capture

the personalities of the anonymous people

being interviewed.

There’s a photo of a pensive man, who

looks to be approaching middle age, sitting

Editor’s Notebook

in a park. He

observes to Stanton

that, as we age, there

are fewer things to

experience for the

first time and, even

when one does, the

excitement is muted.

But he adds one also

does not feels as hurt.

He then ponders

what it will feel like

when he reaches age

70.

Palsgrove

Another photo

shows a man walking

with a cat on his head. The man matter-offactly

tells Stanton that one can make

more money with a cat on one’s head than

if the cat is on one’s shoulder.

Some of the people’s comments express

alienation. Some are joyful. Some people

are forthcoming with their words and others

are more reticent. Some are sad. Some

are funny, such as the little girl who told

Stanton she wanted to be a princess hairdresser.

When he asked her what the hardest

part of that job was she answered that

it would be cutting Rapunzel’s hair.

I often make notes in the books I own of

the page numbers and passages I like and

will revisit in the future. My copy of

“Humans of New York: Stores” has dozens

of such notations.

The content in “Notes From a Public

Typewriter” was gathered when a typewriter

with paper was set up in a Michigan

book store and people were invited to

anonymously type a message. Much like in

“Humans of New York: Stories,” the passages

in “Notes From a Public Typewriter”

can be a paragraph, a sentence, or one

word. Where “Humans of New York:

Stories” presents storytelling with a face

filtered through an interview, “Notes From

a Public Typewriter” brings the typists’

thoughts directly to you from their brains,

through their fingers on the typewriter

keys, to the typefaced words all can read.

The many typed messages collected in

the book are widely varied in temperament

and can be described as poignant, humorous,

hopeful, raw, sad, philosophical,

romantic, questioning, and more. Some

examples include: someone who typed that

they race snowflakes to see who falls first;

a writer comparing their lover’s eyes to

that of wonderful August skies; another

noted that they were on a date, but their

bladder was leaking; and, in what had to be

more youthful typists, asking where the

power button is on the typewriter and

another who wrote if they had to type an

essay on “this thing” they would quit

school.

Both books are a random sampling of

the thoughts that go through our heads on

a daily basis. A dominant theme in both

books is love and relationships, which indicates

the age old battle of loneliness marches

on.

One typist’s comment seemed to sum up

both books’ contents, as well as the human

condition, as they wrote that, in the end,

we are all stories.

Obetz passes 2020 budget totaling more than $48 million

By Ris Twigg

Staff Writer

The village of Obetz passed its final

2020 appropriations budget and created

two new divisions at its December council

meeting.

Obetz’s general fund for 2020 totals

more than $14.7 million for the upcoming

year and can be spent on any legal village

expenses, while the rest of the budget –

which has a series of funds meant for specific

purchases only – adds up to more

than $33 million.

“We have loaded everything in that you

need to be able to function,” said Rod

Davisson, Obetz economic development

director. “I expect we will re-look at these

things more closely in January and make

sure that both the outgoing council and

incoming council have a chance to coordinate.”

The total $48.8 million appropriations

budget only covers the village’s expenses,

Davisson said, and does not include revenue.

Notable line items in the budget

include: $1 million for the capital improvement

fund for things like new parks and

over $2.5 million for street improvements,

among other expenditures.

One difference between this year’s budget

and last year’s is that Obetz’s capital

outlay numbers have decreased because

the village has been taking loans from

funds in future years in order to “deliver

projects now and pay (them) back later,”

Davisson said.

Two public works divisions created

In addition to passing their annual

budget appropriations, council created two

new divisions within Obetz’s Department

of Public Works and codified four other

divisions in both the Department of Public

Works and the Department of

Development.

Three of the divisions have appointed

directors moving into 2020, and the

remaining will be filled in as the need arises,

Davisson said.

“As we move toward becoming a city,

things become more regimented, and you

need more structure in that,” he said. “This

is installing that structure.”

The two new divisions include a grounds

crew and space for research and development,

a division Davisson said will make

the village more efficient.

“We realize when you buy stuff as a village,

it’s expensive. You’re using taxpayers’

hard-earned money to buy things that

aren’t terribly sexy, like stop signs,”

Davisson said. “We have taken the

approach here that government can do better.”

For instance, the Village of Obetz

pets of the week

invested in a field-lining robot. According

to Davisson, it takes two workers about

three days to line one football field. The village

lines a variety of sports fields about

15-20 times a year, he said.

“So we bought a $30,000 robot. You put

paint in it, turn it on, and it does a football

field in two-and-a-half hours. So it’s those

investments – either buying new technology

and implementing it or developing our

own – that are going to allow us to remain

efficient stewards of the taxpayers’ money,”

Davisson said.

Mayor recognized; Wiley and Hall

are honored for their service

Obetz Village Council recognized Mayor

Greg Scott’s service to Obetz over the last

15 years and said their goodbyes to the outgoing

mayor.

During his time as Obetz mayor, Scott

helped spur the construction of Fortress

Obetz, added over 300 acres to the Obetz

park system and helped bring thousands of

jobs – and their income tax revenue – to

Obetz.

Council also passed ordinances renaming

two separate Obetz facilities after two

Obetz staff members who passed away this

fall.

Jim Wiley was a former village council

member who passed away in November.

Council posthumously honored him at the

meeting by renaming the newly-constructed

Obetz Sledding Hill to “Wiley Hill.”

Both Scott and Davisson agreed that

Wiley was “an advocate for the kids.”

“If you said, ‘We’re going to spend a $100

million to make an Obetz kid happy’, he

would have said, ‘Yes, let’s do it,’” Davisson

said. “Jim was a man of the people. He

wanted to be out there. He wanted to hear

what people thought and that’s going to be

hard to replace.”

Another staff member, Kevin Hall, former

superintendent of Obetz’s service

department, unexpectedly passed away

this fall just four weeks after his cancer

diagnosis, Davisson said.

To honor his years of work in the service

department, council named the Obetz service

complex the “Kevin M. Hall Service

Complex” to keep his legacy of kindness

and hard-working spirit alive in Obetz for

years to come.

Both of these places – the Kevin M.

Hall Service Complex and Wiley Hill – are

located right next to each other.

Council held a tribute to Wiley on

Thursday, Dec. 19 in the council chamber

at 4175 Alum Creek Drive.

“Both of them were tragic losses for us.

They are going to be impossible to replace

for us and both of them happened way too

quickly,” Davisson said.

CW Human Services had a busy year in 2019

By Linda Dillman

Staff Writer

Canal Winchester Human Services has

come a long way from its humble beginnings

in 1955 when a local family lost their

home in a fire and the town responded by

forming Emergency Assistance and Adopt-

A-Family programs.

Over the course of 65 years, more programs,

such as senior transportation and

the food pantry, were added as need and

the population grew.

“The scope and depth at which we can

impact those in our immediate area has

made CW Human Services a hub of compassion

in Canal Winchester, meeting people

‘where they are in life’ in very practical

and meaningful ways,” said Canal

Winchester Human Services Director

Aletha Mullins.

Last year, staff changes found Mullins

promoted from operations manager to

director. Shortly thereafter, two new staff

members were hired to oversee daily operations

and provide communications and

grant writing support for the organization

as a whole.

“A specific challenge we faced in 2019

had to do with revamping the digital face of

our organization with a redesigned website

and more intentional use of media such as

Facebook,” said Mullins. “We are a hub of

“An ongoing challenge that any

non-profit organization faces on a

yearly basis is in finding the balance

between funding the various programs

within the organization while

also seeking and acquiring funds for

operational costs that are not always

provided for with program-specific

grants and donations.”

- Aletha Mullins, director

CW Human Services

so many events and activities with connections

to so many people, and we found we

needed to connect and communicate what

we are doing in more intentional and sometimes

real-time ways.”

In December, human services needed

children’s coats for its annual Adopt-A-

Family program, and, within 24 hours of

posting the need on the organization’s

Facebook page, more than 50 coats were

donated overnight in its drop box.

Emergency Assistance provides financial

help towards utility shut-off and

rent/mortgage eviction situations. In 2019,

21 families were provided assistance.

Senior Transportation fulfills a variety

of needs, from medical appointments to

personal trips. Group trips are scheduled

every week to four local groceries in the

community. In 2019, 4,123 one-way trips

were driven for a total of 33,284 miles.

The Community Food Pantry is a designated

Choice Pantry where clients have the

opportunity to shop for preferred foods

twice a month and up to a total of 30 meals

per family each month.

Under the umbrella of the food pantry,

low-income students within the school district

are also served through the Feeding

Our Future weekend backpack program,

which provides food to these students

throughout the school year by sending food

home each Friday.

In 2019, the Choice Pantry served 5,573

individuals and 77,147 meals were provided

overall.

Over 100 students were given weekend

food through the backpack program, for a

total of 2,492 meals.

Nearly 300 individuals and 72 families–including

208 children–were served

in 2019 through Community and Senior

Outreach, which assists the youngest to

the oldest within the Canal Winchester

community.

Programs include once-a-month senior

lunches at the Steube Community Center;

Tools for School, which assists students

throughout the year; and, Adopt-a-Family,

which provides gifts, clothing and all the

“fixin’s” for a family Christmas dinner.

“An ongoing challenge that any nonprofit

organization faces on a yearly basis

is in finding the balance between funding

the various programs within the organization

while also seeking and acquiring funds

for operational costs that are not always

provided for with program-specific grants

and donations,” said Mullins. “We have

found that many people use our programs,

but they don’t realize the full scope of what

we do across the board.”

At the end of 2019, Destination:Canal

Winchester held their first annual

Reindeer Run with proceeds directly benefiting

the Adopt-A-Family program.

Mullins said there are two other fundraisers

on the horizon that will also support

Adopt-A-Family and other outreaches as

well.

“In general, our new staff will be reaching

out to churches and organizations to

maintain and/or strengthen our partnerships

and potential impact in our community,”

said Mullins. “People can find out

about our organization, programs, and

events at www.cwhumanservices.org, at

facebook.com/cwhumanservices, or call

614-834-4700.”

Township Police &

collaborative standards

The Madison Township Police

Department and the Hilliard Division of

Police implemented state standards established

by the Ohio Collaborative

Community-Police Advisory Board as part

of the state’s efforts to strengthen community

and police relations.

There are 449 agencies employing over

26,000 officers (representing over 75 percent

of all law enforcement officers in Ohio,

including most of Ohio’s metropolitan areas)

that are certified, and 57 that are in the

process of becoming certified by meeting

standards for the use of force, including deadly

force, and agency recruitment and hiring.

The standards were developed and

established by the Ohio Collaborative

Community-Police Advisory Board as part

of the state’s efforts to strengthen community

and police relations.

The state partnered with the Buckeye

State Sheriffs’ Association and the Ohio

Association of Chiefs of Police to help certify

Ohio’s nearly 900 law enforcement agencies

on a process to ensure that they are in

compliance with Ohio’s new standards.

Legacy of Love 5K

The Legacy of Love 5K is coming on

March 22 at noon to the Groveport

Recreation Center, 7370 Groveport Road.

Previously held in Bexley, the Legacy of

Love 5K is the primary fundraiser for the

Alexandria Leigh Goodwin Angel

Foundation (ALGA), an organization committed

to creating a more positive, loving

world through random good deeds.

The Foundation was created in the

memory of Alexandria “Alex” Goodwin, a

2014 graduate of Groveport Madison High

School and a student who had just finished

her sophomore year at Capital

University at the time of her unexpected

passing.

Sara Sherman, ALGA founder/board

chair, said Alex’s family and friends recognized

that the energy she created in the

world was still badly needed, and created

the ALGA Foundation in 2017 to continue

her spirit of kindness, and to encourage all

to build their own legacy of love by simply

performing random acts of goodness as the

opportunity arises.

To date, the foundation has given over

$4,000 in scholarships to Groveport

Madison High School graduates and

Capital University students, $1,000 to

Groveport Madison Human Needs, $400 to

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of

Franklin County, and will soon deliver 30

sleeping bags to local residents experiencing

homelessness.

According to Sherman, the Legacy of

Love 5K is a high energy event with lots of

music, awards, goodies, and raffle prizes.

You can participate by running, walking,

cheering and/or donating; and of course, by

sponsoring.

AUTHORIZING THE SALE AT PUBLIC AUCTION

OF REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE BOARD AND

NO LONGER NEEDED FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES

(Ohio Revised Code §3313.41)

WHEREAS, the Canal Winchester Local School District Board of Education (the "Board") is the owner of

approximately 2.50 acres of certain real property located at Groveport Road, Canal Winchester, Ohio, known

as Franklin County Auditor tax parcel number 184-002281-00 inclusive of all improvements located thereon

and more particularly described on the drawing attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Property”), which Property

the Board has determined to offer for sale at public auction in the manner

prescribed by Ohio Revised Code (“O.R.C.”) §3313.41.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board that:

Section 1. It is found and determined that the Property, which exceeds $10,000 in value, is no longer needed

for school purposes.

Section 2. The Board finds that there are no start-up community schools or collegepreparatory boarding

schools located within the territory of the School District and therefore the Board is not required to first offer

the Property to such entities pursuant to O.R.C. §3313.413(B). Further, there are no STEM/STEAM schools

in the District's territory entitled to notice of the sale under O.R.C. §3313.413(B) besides Canal Winchester

Middle School and Winchester Trail Elementary, but this Board is the governing board of those schools and

has determined the Property is not needed by such schools.

Section 3. The Property shall be presented for sale at public auction in the manner prescribed by O.R.C.

§3313.41 after giving at least thirty (30) days’ notice of the sale by publication in the Eastside Messenger, a

newspaper of general circulation in the School District, in accordance with O.R.C. §3313.41.

Section 4. The sale of the Property shall be made on the following terms and conditions and such other terms

and conditions as the Board may subsequently impose prior to conducting the auction:

a. The auction will be conducted beginning at 6:00 p.m. on February 10, 2020 and will be held at the

Education Center, Board Room, located at 100 Washington Street, Canal Winchester, Ohio.

b. The auction shall be subject to a right of the Board to reject all bids for the Property if it finds that no

acceptable bids have been made.

e. The Property will be sold on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis, with no representations or warranties of any

kind given by the Board.

Section 5. The Superintendent, Treasurer, and/or Board President are hereby authorized and directed to do

all things necessary and consistent with this resolution to accomplish the sale of the Property at public auction,

including paying reasonable costs incurred in connection therewith. The Board President and Treasurer shall

execute the deed conveying the Property to the applicable purchaser at closing if the high bid is accepted by

the Board.

• They do not judge, laugh, or criticize.

• They allow your kids to read at their

own pace.

• They are less intimidating than peers

• It’s fun!

Children ages 6-12 may sign up at the

children’s desk for a one-on-one, 15 minute

session with a furry friend.

After three sessions, receive a free book.
