Lacrosse gains popularity in CW 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Three years ago, a kitchen table conversation 

among a small group of interested parents sowed the 

seeds for what would become the Canal Winchester 

Lacrosse Association. 

From those humble beginnings in 2017, a program 

evolved with about a dozen players to nearly 

100 today in what association President Victor Paini 

calls the nation’s oldest and fastest growing sport. 

According to Paini, the association grew out of the 

city’s joint recreation district lacrosse program, 

started in 2015 for players in first through sixth 

grade. However, Paini said the CWJRD status limits 

certain activities, such as fundraising. 

“As a 501c3, the CWLA is free of this restriction 

and has been able to grow the game through partnerships 

with local businesses and the national governing 

body, US Lacrosse,” said Joe Malone, association 

vice president and assistant boys middle school 

coach. “We’ve been able to find and pay qualified 

coaches, secure new equipment to loan to players 

free of charge and provide opportunities to experience 

lacrosse on the next level.” 

Paini said the CWLA was established to run middle 

and high school teams, and has dedicated an 

equal amount of time to developing the sport and 

growing interest at all ages. 

In fall 2019, the association offered a 10-week 

lacrosse program for approximately 35 players; sent 

three teams to Canton in mid-November to participate 

in one of the region’s largest fall lacrosse tournaments, 

where the middle school team finished in 

second place; and held two Try Lax events for the 

community. 

“Skills from lacrosse only make you better at 

other sports as well,” said Malone. “When Jim 

Naismith was developing the framework of basketball, 

he drew from his experience of playing lacrosse 

in college. Everyone knows Cleveland Browns’ legend 

Jim Brown. He was a more prolific lacrosse player 

at Syracuse than he was at football and is the only 

person in the both the Lacrosse Hall of Fame and the 

Football Hall of Fame.” 

Later this year, Paini expects interest in the sport 

to jump significantly with the introduction of 

CWLA’s youth girls’ lacrosse program and a girls’ 

high school team.

City buys former 

auto museum 


Staff Writer 

The former McDorman Auto Museum is getting new life as the 

hub of government activity as Canal Winchester City Council 

approved the purchase of the building. 

In the works for months, and facing pushback at times from 

community members, the $2.4 million owner-financed agreement 

between the city and Alice McDorman is for a 10-year term with 

the city making quarterly payments of approximately $73,000. 

“It’s probably the best use of the building,” said Councilwoman 

Jill Amos, who also wanted to make certain the city holds conversations 

with community center staff to ensure their needs are met 

throughout the process. 

The auto museum on the 1.29 acre site at 45 E. Waterloo St. 

was opened in 2014 by auto dealer Bob McDorman. The 23,700- 

foot museum closed in 2016 after McDorman passed away in 2015 

and its inventory was liquidated in 2017. 

The building was initially listed at $3.2 million. Part of the contract 

with Alice McDorman includes naming rights as the Bob 

McDorman Building. 

Another $2.2 million is budgeted for renovations. That cost, 

according to Finance Director Amanda Jackson, will be initially 

funded through a short-term loan. During a December public

hearing, Jackson said the city has no intention 

to ask residents for additional debt to 

cover costs. 

“Financially speaking, our general fund 

is very healthy,” said Jackson. “Typically, 

we only budget what we think we’ll take in 

and we’ve done very well.” 

Preliminary plans include a new community 

center in the west end of the building, 

approximately 8,000-square-feet of 

empty space in the east end of the building 

LACROSSE 


During a Jan. 13 Canal Winchester 

Board of Education meeting, Paini and 

Canal Winchester Middle School Athletic 

the library is considering as a new branch, 

a doubling of council space seating with 

overflow space available for larger crowds, 

expanded office space, meeting rooms and 

security upgrades. 

“They’re (Columbus Metropolitan 

Library) doing their due diligence on their 

build out costs,” said Development Director 

Lucas Haire when asked about the status 

of the library’s potential move. 

With the demolition of the current 

Frances Steube Community Center, available 

parking spaces will increase and the 

Fairfield County Sheriff’s Department is 

considering moving into the present municipal 

building at 36 S. High St. 

“There would be minimal construction 

done to that building,” said Mayor Mike 

Ebert if the sheriff’s department moves 

from cramped quarters in the basement of 

Town Hall. 

As for the fate of Town Hall, the city has 

no plans to liquidate the structure, but its 

use after the new municipal complex opens 

is yet to be determined. 

“We’re pretty excited about the possibility 

of moving into there,” said Sgt. Jesse 

Hendershot in discussing the potential 

transition to larger space, while still 

retaining a downtown presence. 

According to the contract, it must be 

finalized by Feb. 12. 

Director Brent Palsgrove sought board 

approval to make lacrosse an officially recognized 

middle school sport. The board is 

expected to take 

action on the request 

at its Feb.18 meeting. 

“Our hope is the 

high school program 

will be elevated to 

an official club sport 

as well,” said Paini, 

who is the CWJRD’s 

Lacrosse commissioner and an assistant 

boy’s middle school coach. “We see our relationship 

with CWLA, CWJRD and the 

school system as one of partnership, not 

competition. The goal is to create a partnership 

that will help make lacrosse better 

in the city and available to more players.” 

Paini said the association is thankful for 

the support and partnership from CWJRD 

and the school system and added both athletic 

directors are supportive of the 

CWLA’s mission of growing the game of 

lacrosse and creating new athletic opportunities 

for Canal Winchester. 

“I’m truly excited about the future of our 

program and can’t wait to see where these 

athletes take us,” said Paini. “The mission 

of CWLA has always been to see lacrosse 

become a varsity level sport for both boys 

and girls teams.” 

Registration for CWLA programming is 

open until Jan. 31. Players can register at 

cwlacrosse.com. For further information,

Talley joins school board 


Staff Writer 

Dr. Bender Scholarships 

Canal Winchester City Council will 

award two $1,000 scholarships in honor of 

the late Dr. John Bender, former council 

member, educator, and coach. 

Graduating seniors are encouraged to 

review eligibility requirements and submit 

applications at www.canalwinchesterohio.gov. 

Applications will also be available 

in the guidance offices at Canal 

Winchester High School and Bloom-Carroll 

A new face is joining the Canal 

Winchester Board of Education. 

Monika Talley was recently sworn in to 

fill the vacancy on the school board left by 

Brian Niceswanger, who resigned last year 

because of a family move outside the district. 

Talley is a liaison supervisor with the 

Franklin County Domestic Relations and 

Juvenile Court and previously served as a 

paternity coordinator with the county’s 

Child Support Enforcement Agency. She is 

a double major graduate of the Ohio State 

University with focuses on psychology and 

women’s studies, holds a masters degree in 

public administration, is a graduate of the 

Voinovich School of Leadership and Public 

Affairs and is pursuing a doctorate in public 

administration, law and public policy 

from Walden University. 

“My husband and I became aware of the 

vacancy at the same time because, as parents 

of two children attending Indian Trail 

Elementary School, we both receive digital 

weekly district updates,” said Talley, 

whose husband suggest she apply for the 

board position. “I immediately knew it was 

something I definitely wanted to pursue. 

As a parent, resident of Canal Winchester 

and public servant, I truly believe that my 

unique experiences and background in 

public administration, public policy, child 

support policy and family law would be of 

value to the district in helping move its 

mission of empowerment forward.” 

Talley has over 15 years of public sector 

experience working in state and county 

government and currently works alongside 

elected officials and judges. In 2007, she 

served on the advisory board for the 

Graduation, Reality, and Dual-role Skills 

program authorized by the Ohio 

Department of Education until the program 

was discontinued in 2016. 

“I took on a leadership role while serving 

on the board for this program because I 

cared about empowering youth to persevere 

through personal challenges to reach 

their potential and graduate,” said Talley. 

“I wanted them to believe in themselves 

and I often spoke with them as a group and 

individually during their seminar days. In 

addition to their family, faculty and classmates, 

I became a resource for them and I 

knew I wanted to continue being an advocate 

for them.” 

Growing up economically disadvantaged 

in 

Akron, Talley 

said her parents 

instilled 

in her the values 

of education 

and hard 

work. As a 

result, she 

was inducted 

into the 

Young Scholars 

Program 

in the sixth 

MONIKA TALLEY 

grade, which 

entitled her to earn a full four-years all 

tuition paid scholarship to the Ohio State 

University. 

“Through growth and development, it 

became evident that my purpose is linked 

to education and public service,” said 

Talley. “I believe that every student has 

the potential to reach their God given purpose. 

I believe in creating opportunities for 

growth and development, identifying and 

removing barriers so that each student can 

reach theirs.” 

Talley feels a primary issue Canal 

Winchester is experiencing, not unlike 

other districts, is the breakdown of the 

family unit and the impact it has on children. 

“School districts have the responsibility 

to undergird youth and, to some extent, 

their families because they have influence 

in the community and can distribute certain 

resources afforded to them,” Talley 

said. 

She said there is a revolving partnership 

with the family that must exist, 

empowering students and in return building 

communities and making them 

stronger. Another challenge she notes concerns 

enhancing the safety and security of 

the schools so teachers can spend less of 

their instructional time facilitating safety 

drills. 

“I applaud the district’s commitment 

towards educating the whole student,” 

Talley said. “Its mission of empowering all 

students includes cultivating a culture of 

learning that enables students to achieve 

their personal potential and this extends 

beyond academic achievements. I also commend 

the district for fostering partnerships 

with all stakeholders, especially with 

the parents. I value and appreciate that 

the district is transparent and has a strong 

communication network.” 

High School. The deadline for applications 

and completed materials is April 1. 

Recipients of the Dr. John Bender scholarship 

will be recognized at the April 20 city 

council meeting.

A winter’s day on the farm 

This winter had been somewhat mild with many days with temperatures 

in the 40 degree range, which for some Ohioans is still 

t-shirt and shorts weather. 

But, by mid- 

January, dreaded arctic 

cold reached down 

into Ohio with its icy 

grip. So, in our winter 

madness my friend Marie Kujawski and I 

thought, what a nice day to go for a walk at 

Metro Parks’ Slate Run Living Historical Farm! 

The farm, which is a bustling place in the 

spring, summer, and fall, is quiet in winter. 

There are few visitors and much of the agricultural 

work has slowed. Still, the place 

remains a place that can delight one’s senses. 

As we walked the path toward the farmhouse, 

the only sound we heard was that of 

our feet scuffing the ground. 

Marie noted how the farmhouse looks like 

a family homestead from a simpler time. 

“There’s no modern intrusion here,” she said. 

The wind had a cold bite, so I plunged my gloved hands deeper 

into my heavy coat. Marie nestled further into her warm coat. 

Slowly more sounds were audible. A wooden fence gate creaked 

in the wind. Chickens clucked as they foraged. The sound of the 

stream that flows through the farm, not yet frozen, softly rippled. 

Marie noted some gentle smells wafting in the wintry air of the 

farm - hay, burnt wood, manure... 

“It’s an aroma of sweet earthiness,” said Marie. 

There was so much to see and drink in. The brown hues of the 

fields biding their time till spring planting. A grape arbor waiting 

out the winter. The well cared for farmhouse, barn, and outbuildings. 

Best of all there were the animals. 

As we came upon the barn, some cows were braced against the 

cold wind. When I took their photo they gave me a look that 

seemed to say, “What are ‘moo’ looking at?” 

My ears picked up the fluttering of bird wings as the feathered 

friends swooped into the barn to feast on cobs of corn hanging from 

the ceiling. 

Then in the general silence, the “tap, tap, tap” of hammer on 

nail could be heard coming from the turkey pen. The sound came 

from Slate Run Living Historical Farm farmer Mike Huels who 

was repairing the door to the turkey pen. 

“Winter’s a time when we can do some small repairs around the 

farm,” said Huels. “We also plan to build a wooden wagon to use 

here on the farm.” 

I asked Huels about the cows I photographed. 

“Those are milking short horn cows,” said Huels. “In the 1880s 

they were used for both dairy and beef.” 

Leaving Huels to his work and bidding farewell to a flock of 

friendly bustling turkeys, we wandered over 

to some sheds and found a large, sleeping,

hog nestled in straw and snoring away the 

winter’s day. 

I looked about and noticed the circular 

dirt path, carved out by the hooves of horses, 

of the threshing area. This is a busy spot 

in summer filled with the sounds of the belt 

driven threshing machine at work, but now 

the area was empty and silent. 

We stood and closed our eyes and listened. 

So much quiet, so much peace.

Turkeys crowd together in the turkey pen. 

Slate Run Living Historical Farm farmer Mike Huels took some

the farm is a time for farm workers to make repairs. He also said 

the farm workers plan on building a new wooden wagon this 

winter to use on the farm.

Legacy of Love 5K 

The Legacy of Love 5K is coming to 

Groveport on March 22 at noon at 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. 

“Full of life, exuberance, and a giant 

sense of humor, Alex was a focused student 

and an extracurricular activity junky, who 

participated in a multitude of activities 

and organizations,” said Sara Sherman, 

ALGA founder/board chair. “Nearly everyone 

who encountered her felt her warmth 

and benefited from her continued kindness. 

Be it a word of encouragement, a 

snack, a ride, a hug, or some other form of 

support, Alex always seemed to have time 

to help those in her path.” 

Sherman 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. More information is available

Citizens give their input 

at CW town hall meeting 


Staff Writer 

Canal Winchester City Council’s second 

informal town hall meeting on Jan. 14 was 

a potpourri of interests and concerns discussed 

by residents filling the Frances 

Steube Community Center. 

From the opioid crisis and the use of 

social media as a conduit for communication 

to the city’s purchase of the former 

McDorman auto museum as a government 

complex, the nearly three-hour session 

found council members and city officials 

fielding a variety of questions. 

As expected, the $2.4 million purchase 

of the McDorman site prompted comments 

by residents and explanations by Finance 

Director Amanda Jackson and 

Development Director Lucas Haire. 

“We’ve got a lot of stuff on our plate 

right now,” said Jim Bowlein as he detailed 

a list of city projects including McGill Park, 

the bike path, Gender Road improvements 

and the Waterloo site. “I don’t want to see 

us lose some of the city services (snow 

removal, leaf pick-up) we have right now. 

Can we afford this?” 

Jackson said Canal Winchester would 

not be in serious discussions regarding the 

complex if the city could not afford the purchase 

with general fund revenue. 

“We knew we needed this in the future, 

so we planned for this,” said Jackson during 

her remarks. She said a $10.5 million 

carryover into 2020 is a direct result of conservative 

planning in anticipation of future 

projects. “We build these types of things 

into the budget because we plan for it.” 

Business owner Mark Savino said when 

the building first became available, he 

wondered who would buy it and was happy 

to learn the city was interested. 

“When I heard the city was going to buy 

it, I thought it was a neat idea,” said 

Savino, who owns and operates the 

Wigwam restaurant. “It’s really important 

to keep city functions close. It’s ridiculous

opinion, it’s a good idea.” 

Canal Winchester Art Guild President 

Connie Struill volunteered to provide artwork 

of guild members to hang on the 

walls throughout the complex. 

Other topics of discussion 

•Long-time resident Nancy Diley-Smith 

volunteered her expertise in the substance 

abuse and treatment field wherever it 

might be needed within Canal Winchester. 

“I believe the community has a problem 

with substance abuse,” Diley-Smith said. 

“It affects everyone. I have decided to 

assist and pay it forward.” 

Councilman Pat Lynch told Diley-Smith 

her service would be helpful working on 

the “front lines” with local law enforcement 

and the school district. He said substance 

abuse is something that needs to be 

addressed. 

•Representing shops in the downtown 

business district, Jackie Marion commented 

on trash, motorists running red lights 

endangering pedestrians and parking by 

workers taking up two-hour spots instead 

of parking in flat lots further away. 

“It’s hard on the businesses,” Marion 

said. “They rely on parking spaces for customers. 

This is a charming town, but it also 

has to be safe downtown.” 

Councilman Mike Coolman told Marion 

the city previously conducted speed studies, 

but in order to make more of an impact, 

speeders need to feel the consequences of 

their actions “in their wallet.” 

•According to resident Katy Santore, 

technology has become a large part of daily 

life within communities. She suggested 

council consider more engagement in social 

media as a way to reach out to the public. 

“I think it would be nice to have a council 

‘hub’ in an official capacity,” said 

Santore.” 

Councilman Will Bennett felt Santore’s 

suggestion was a topic that should be further 

explored.

Department provides an opiate prescription

Franklin County Board of Commissioners: Commissioner John O’Grady, President • Commissioner Marilyn Brown • Commissioner Kevin L. Boyce 

The Franklin County Board of Commissioners and The Franklin County Office on Aging join with the Messenger Newspaper in providing this update on aging issues in Franklin County. 

Emergency Response Systems 

Franklin County Senior Options, administered by the Franklin 

County Office on Aging, a department of the Franklin County 

Board of Commissioners, is the “one-stop-shopping” point for 

information and access to senior services. Senior Options 

helps maintain independence, ensure safety and improve the 

quality of life for older adults by providing community-based 

services. These services could include home delivered meals, 

information and referral, adult day services, medical 

transportation, homemaker services, personal care, 

emergency response systems, minor home repair and 

caregiver relief. 

In 2020, to better inform older adults and their caregivers, we 

plan to share information about key services that support 

client safety and independence. Our first featured service is 

the Emergency Response System (ERS). This service is 

designed to monitor client safety and provide client access to 

emergency services through the provision of an electronic 

communication system. 

Although they constitute the largest part of our client base, 

Senior Options programs and services are not limited to the 

disabled elderly. An older person living alone who has a 

history of falls might not be considered disabled; however, 

Senior Options could provide an ERS to be used to summon 

help in the event of a fall or sudden onset of severe illness. 

The availability of services, such as a home-delivered lunch 

and an ERS pendant, enable caregivers to work outside the 

home. These services provide much needed relief for the 

caregiver and support vulnerable older adults who want to live 

alone or stay alone for long periods of time during the day. 

Before the advent of this technology, the more costly 

approach of having home care staff members “check in on” 

older adults was often requested. The cost for this service is 

over $20 per hour for a minimum of two hours versus the 

high-tech alternative’s low cost (an average of $25/month). 

The Senior Options program utilizes a very generous sliding 

fee scale which allows many of our program participants to 

receive this service “free of charge” or at a reduced cost. 

Senior Options currently contracts with eight different ERS 

service providers to deliver services such as Voice 

Emergency Response, Fall Detectors, GPS Units and a few 

other items. The ERS is designed to provide a means of 

accessing help in case of an emergency when the older adult 

is unable to call 911. The emergency response system may 

include additional equipment such as an extra pendant, a 

medication dispenser, smoke detector(s) or strobe light. 

To receive an ERS a client must meet the standard Senior 

Options program eligibility requirements and have a landline 

or cell phone. Systems can accommodate non-English 

speaking clients and those severely hearing impaired. The 

ERS is also the recommended entry level service for Senior 

Options. As the older adult ages in their home more services 

can be quickly added. 

For more information on Senior Options services and to 

obtain an ERS, contact Senior Options at (614) 525-6200, 

Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and until 

7:00 p.m. on Thursdays.



Township seeks volunteers for Citizens Advisory Committee 


Staff Writer 

The Madison Township trustees are 

hanging out the Help Wanted sign for volunteers 

to serve on a newly established 

Citizens Advisory Committee. 

Trustee Michele Reynolds, elected in 

BIG 


this? Growth,” said Musick. “There are 

things we need to do in the district to 

increase capacity.” 

While the campaign is in its infancy, 

sports specific booster clubs were asked to 

provide input, along with coaching staffs. 

The athletic booster board then met with 

the district’s athletic director to discuss the 

collective input from both groups. 

Strategic goals and a path towards the 

goals were identified. The club then 

engaged board of education members about 

opportunities and plans to work collaboratively 

with the district. 

Among the goals listed by Musick was a 

new $330,000 electronic scoreboard in the 

football stadium that would create its own 

revenue stream through advertising/donor 

opportunities; a half-million dollars in new 

stadium seating; and turf replacement at 

$400,000. 

“If we can get money from the scoreboard 

and other opportunities, it’s a way to 

UPGRADES & 

INSTALLATION 

November and now vice chairman of the 

board, proposed establishing the committee 

to provide a means for citizens to offer 

input on “matters that affect them,” such 

as a proposed $5 motor vehicle tax. 

Representatives are needed from both 

the unincorporated and incorporated areas 

infuse money into the project,”said Musick 

in outlining three core ideas of the multimillion 

dollar endeavor. “What we have 

isn’t totally broken and if we can save 

money to renovate existing facilities and 

get more bang for our buck, that’s something 

we definitely want to do.” 

Musick said the club and its stakeholders 

are looking at first phase projects that 

will have immediate impact on student 

athletes and get people in the community 

enthused about the capital campaign. 

“There are a lot of exciting things happening 

in Canal and we feel this is the time 

we can capitalize on that,” Musick said, 

while pointing out that tax advantages for 

non-profits are at an all-time high. 

In addition, the concept also includes a 

quarter-million-dollar in weight room renovations; 

a new concession stand and lockers 

on the visitor’s side of the stadium estimated 

at $250,000; a new $100,000 press 

box; $125,000 for baseball/softball seating

“The first thing to address is the permissive 

motor vehicle tax,” said Reynolds, following 

a discussion to postpone action on 

the tax until the committee was formed 

and started meeting. 

Trustee Chairman John Pritchard 

added, “By doing this, one of the goals (of 

the committee) is to put information out to 

the community and then get it on the agenda. 

My preference is that we establish a 

framework and allow the members of the 

committee decide how to run it. There are a 

See TOWNSHIP, page 9 

and press box; and $75,000 to resurface the 

track. 

Musick is hopeful that plans could eventually 

include an electronic sports practice 

facility and a soccer specific turf facility. 

The total price tag is estimated at more 

than $2 million. 

Earmarked as immediate/impactful 

projects is lighting for the middle school 

stadium, baseball, softball and tennis. The 

improvements could add capacity and function 

to all of the facilities by adding operational 

hours for practices and games. 

According to Musick, a cage facility for 

baseball and softball “would not only dramatically 

improve performance by drastically 

improving training opportunities, it 

would create more capacity in district 

gyms.” 

Stakeholders also told the booster 

organization they felt the middle school 

campus is the place where the most ‘new’ 

investment needs to happen, such as turfing 

the field and creating a fieldhouse with 

locker rooms, restrooms, storage and concessions. 

“The big one (idea) that actually was 

kind of the genesis was the scoreboard,” 

said Musick, who estimated over the 10- 

year life of the device, it would generate 

$2.1 million in revenue. “We’re moving forward 

with this project as a booster club and 

wanted to make sure the board was 

aware.” 

The athletic boosters are in the process 

of creating a development team of community 

members. Musick said the goal is to 

get $2 million donated by corporations and 

organizations to pay for projects, starting 

with the stadium video scoreboard. 

“Obviously, we don’t expect to generate 

$2 million in one year,” Musick said. “It’s a 

really large project. We’re looking for people 

who want to be a part of the team.”

lot of people who don’t come to the meetings, 

but might be interested.” 

Madison Township Administrator 

Susan Brobst said, while the committee 

would not have any real authority, they 

could bring recommendations to the board 

for consideration on the monthly agenda. 

In order to begin collecting the permissive 

tax as soon as possible, the trustees 

must take action and have the Bureau of 

Motor Vehicles approve the tax by July. 

However, there is no window of opportunity 

that closes if the board does not take 

action within the next few months. 

If approved, car owners would start paying 

the tax when they buy new license 

plates or renew old ones. If the Citizens 

Action Committee is formed quickly, it 

could present its recommendations in time 

for the trustees to make a decision this 

year. 

Estimates by the state project future 

revenue at $80,000 for the township’s 

roads and bridges fund. The permissive 

motor vehicle tax only impacts vehicle 

owners who live in the unincorporated 

areas of the township. 

A decision on approving the tax was 

postponed from the November 2019 trustee 

meeting following Reynolds’ election 

unseating former trustee John Kershner.

Otterbein music students 

to perform in CW 

Hope United Methodist Church in Canal 

Winchester and Otterbein University are 

partnering to bring some of Otterbein’s top 

musical performance students to the area 

on Feb. 9. Students will perform a selection 

of vocal and instrumental pieces beginning 

at 4 pm at the church, located at 83 E. 

Columbus St. in Canal Winchester. A 

reception will follow where the performers 

will be on hand to visit with the attendees. 

The concert is free and open to the public. 

For information call 614-837-7548. 

This performance is made possible 

through the generosity of Larry Stebelton, 

long-time member of Hope United 

Methodist and a 1953 alumnus of 

Otterbein. Although Stebelton did not 

make his career in musical performance, 

music has played a lasting role in his life. 

Even today, he continues to perform. With 

this concert, Stebelton hopes to share his 

love of music and appreciation of 

Otterbein’s Department of Music with his 

childhood church and the community. 

Otterbein’s Department of Music is 

under the leadership and expertise of Dr. 

Dennis Davenport. Dr. Davenport teaches 

theory, music theatre history, and directs 

the Otterbein Singers. He also serves as 

Otterbein’s liaison to the Board of the 

Westerville Symphony and is the organist/pianist 

at Church of the Master United
