CW Labor Day 

Festival cancelled 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

The roots of Canal Winchester’s Labor Day Festival run deep, 

beginning before the turn of the 20th century with a Grangesponsored 

Winchester Fair to the event it has become, which 

draws thousands of people. 

This year the streets will not be filled with high-speed attractions, 

music, contests and smoky aromas filtering through the 

crowds. On May 21, the non-profit, volunteer-run Labor Day 

Festival Committee decided to cancel the September show until 

2021. 

In the May public statement, organizers shared their difficult 

decision, noting concern for public safety amidst the backdrop of 

the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Festival Vice President Mike Coolman spoke on behalf of the 

festival’s board of directors, saying, “This was not an easy decision, 

but was a responsible and necessary decision. Early last 

week, the Canal Winchester Labor Day Festival Board of 

Directors met and made the decision based on the likely strict 

and difficult guidelines we would have to follow if we were to 

attempt to host this year's festival. The health and safety of our 

community is paramount.” 

The committee began working on plans for the 2020 100th 

Labor Day Festival last fall, so much of the work was already 

completed in anticipation of the centennial anniversary. 

“We want our 100th Labor Day Festival celebration to be 

huge,” said Coolman. “We were going to pull out all stops on this 

one this year for our 100th and we still will next year when are 

able to celebrate.” 

According to Coolman, tents, tables, chairs, golf carts, etc. 

were already reserved. Amusement rides and food vendors were 

booked and some of the entertainment was scheduled. Once the 

cancellation was 

announced, the committee 

began the 

process of contacting 

those already contracted. 

“During these 

strange times, none 

were surprised of the 

cancellation and 

many had said they 

had been expecting 

it,” said Coolman.

1800s, today’s Labor

Extra safety and health precautions during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic have changed the way the 

Madison Township Fire Department responds to emergency runs, such as thoroughly disinfecting and 

sanitizing medics and firehouses everyday and after each patient contact. “On every transport, each 

patient is given a mask to wear and on every run, we, as paramedics, have to wear gloves, eye protection 

and a P100 respirator mask,” said Firefighter Ed Dildine, Jr. On May 14, members of Dry Patrol provided 

free sanitizing and disinfecting services to fire department vehicles and buildings. Pictured is company 

employee Caleb Stone sanitizing one of the Madison Township medics at station 183 on Noe-Bixby Road. 

“In this time of unprecedented circumstances, it is great that we can all work together to keep everyone 

safe,” said Dildine. 

Swimming pool to remain closed

After deciding to not open the city’s swimming pool 

earlier this month, Canal Winchester officials took a 

second look after Governor Mike DeWine announced 

that municipal pools are permitted to open, albeit 

under strict pandemic restrictions. 

“We always knew pools would be able to open at 

some point, but our decision to not open was based on 

the expected gathering and distancing restrictions that 

would have to be implemented,” said Canal 

Winchester Public Service Director Matt Peoples in a 

May 18 report to council. 

Starting May 26, public pools regulated by local 

health departments in Ohio are permitted to open if 

they can meet mandated safety protocols.

POOL 

Continued from page 1 

However, when asked if the pool will 

open, Canal Winchester Mayor Mike Ebert 

said the short answer is, “No.” 

“Even though the governor says, ‘yes you 

can open,’ the public health directors are 

both in agreement and are not recommending 

opening of pools” said Ebert on May 20. 

“Even though that is not a direct order, we 

feel the requirements for us to open the 

pool will be more than our lifeguards will 

be able to handle as they have had no training 

of the new requirements and whoever is 

going to train them has no training either. 

If we were to open, it would not be the experience 

our attendees have had in the past. 

All social distancing policies will need to be 

followed, chairs will be a minimum of six 

feet apart, everyone in the pool will remain 

six feet apart. The daily admission at any 

given time would be about one third or less 

of our normal attendance.” 

Ebert said there would be no gatherings 

allowed and attendees would be required 

to walk in specific directions to enter or 

exit the pool, go to the concession stand or 

use the restroom. Breaks would likely be 

more frequent and last for 30 minutes to 

allow for sanitizing of nearly every surface 

people encounter. 

“If someone who visits the pool does 

come down with the virus at some point, 

everyone who was at the pool on the same 

day likely will be contacted by Franklin 

County Public Health and will need to go 

into quarantine,” said Ebert. “This and 

many more details are why we have not 

changed our position on keeping the pool 

closed. Canal Winchester residents have 

been doing a fantastic job of following the 

social distancing orders and not every community 

can say that. Even though this was 

a very tough decision to make, my biggest 

concern is the safety of our residents.” 

According to the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention, there is no evidence 

that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be 

spread through the water in pools, hot tubs, 

spas, or water play areas. Proper operation 

and maintenance of facilities, including disinfection 

with chlorine and bromine, should 

inactivate the virus in the water.

Day festival is a far cry from the first fairs 

once held in an opera house, skating rink, 

and buildings along the railroad. According 

to the book, “Canal Winchester Ohio: The 

Second Ninety Years,” by Frances Steube 

and Lillian Carroll, beginning in 1906, the 

fair moved to a six-acre tract on Columbus 

and Winchester Pike and later to a ballpark. 

No fair was held in 1914 and Carroll 

and Steube could not locate records of 

another until 1925 when a Canal 

Winchester Festival and Community Fair 

was held in October of that year. Names 

and locations changed through the years 

until 1960 when three local men organized 

the first Labor Day celebration with a 

chicken barbecue dinner and parade.

The Canal Winchester Municipal Pool will 

be closed for the 2020 season. 

DeWine’s Outdoor Recreation Advisory 

Group created a detailed list of guidelines 

and best practices for pool facilities to follow. 

They included the installation of physical 

barriers–lane lines in the pool or chairs 

and tables on the deck–and visual cues, 

such as tape on pool decks to ensure everyone 

not related stays at least six feet apart. 

In addition, pools are mandated to discourage 

or prohibit shared objects, including 

goggles, nose clips, and snorkels, and 

close any non-essential areas where people 

could potentially congregate. 

They are also required to develop and 

implement a reduced maximum capacity to 

allow six feet of distance between users 

and develop revised deck layouts in standing 

and seating areas, so individuals 

remain at least six feet apart. 

Two letters supporting the continued 

closure of the pool were included in written 

comments shared on the May 18 Canal 

Winchester City Council agenda. 

“I personally do not believe the pool 

should be opened for the 2020 season,” 

wrote resident Rachel Radford. “This is 

due to several factors, but mainly people 

cannot, and will not, socially distance. The 

virus has not had a chance to fully spread 

in the public and thus I do not feel there is 

enough scientific data or evidence to support 

a reopening. We can’t control people, 

but we can control if there are places to 

congregate in large numbers.” 

Madeleine Dickerson shared similar 

comments, stating, “Why open up a very 

small pool packed with kids and adults 

who won’t be distancing? This could be a 

disaster and not worth the risk.” 

Winchester organizes this event each year 

and that is not accurate,” said Coolman. 

“The Canal Winchester Labor Day Festival 

Committee is an independent, non-profit 

organization run entirely by volunteers 

who work hard each year to bring this wonderful 

event to Canal Winchester. The city 

is one of our biggest sponsors in that they 

grant us the ability to use their streets, 

sidewalk and many city workers help with 

the festival each year. Our committee had 

been working hard to make this another 

fantastic event. So much of the work had 

already been done and a lot of the pieces 

were already in place. It saddened us to 

have to make this decision and it was not 

made lightly, but it was made with the 

well-being of our community in mind.”


Council wants town hall meeting 

May 31, 2020 - EASTSIDE MESSENGER - PAGE 3 


Staff Writer 

Canal Winchester City Council is moving ahead 

with plans for a June 23 town hall meeting, but it will 

be a far cry from the previous one held before the ongoing 

coronavirus pandemic took hold. 

Ironing out the logistics of not only socially distancing 

the council, administration and directors, there is 

also the process by which the public offers its comments, 

concerns and interactions. 

Currently, council meetings are conducted in a 

hybrid fashion with some individuals in the municipal 

building and others participating remotely. 

“I think you all know since this whole thing started 

we have explored a lot of technological solutions and 

this one is by far the best one we have come up with,” 

said Finance Director Amanda Jackson. “I don’t think 

we have anything else to offer so if you have suggestions, 

we would love to hear them.” 

Councilman Mike Coolman felt Town Hall meetings 

have been effective and the public is appreciative of 

the one attended by department directors. 

When there were questions asked of council with 

which they did not feel competent enough to respond, 

did not recall the information or were not up to date 

with the latest information, Coolman said directors 

stepped up and filled in the information gap. 

“Personally speaking, I would want them there,” 

said Coolman. “Going back, the reason we are doing 

this is because of the letters that were sent in and the 

questions that were sent in. (There) were questions… 

about the financial stability and they want a breakdown 

of the expense report. They want to know what 

the budgets are. They want to know how we are affected 

by tax collections, so they want to know the process 

or progress of businesses closing in Canal. Are projects 

continuing?” 

Councilwoman Jill Amos said they would need to 

establish a procedure for signing in and speaking 

according to the sign-up list and a way to effectively 

mute and unmute city and public speakers. 

“We would go down the list and say, Mr. Coolman 

you are up, unmute Mr. Coolman and ask your question 

and we can have that conversation and then we 

can mute afterwards to start the next person,” said 

Amos. “That way, we can effectively control that chaos 

and volume control. I think there is a way and we’ll figure 

it out.”

Other Canal Winchester news 

•City Development Director Lucas Haire said the 

city’s three largest private sector employers–all connected 

to the automotive supply chain–are all operational 

in some capacity. 

“There are a lot of people in Canal Winchester getting 

back work which is good news,” said Haire. 

“Residential construction still remains strong. We 

have not seen any slowdown here and we are still seeing 

an uptick of where we were last year. I know some 

of the restaurants here in town had a good weekend 

with the nice weather and got folks out on the patios 

and figured out how they are going to operate safely in 

the environment we are in now, good to see those 

things happening.” 

•Councilman Bob Clark reported on a preliminary 

kick-off meeting on May 11 for the McDorman 

Municipal Complex. He said the community center 

would be a high priority within the building. 

“I heard the possibility of adding a new reading 

room to that and the possibility of moving the conference 

room that is connected to the community center 

and maybe making that more towards the middle and 

freeing up additional space from that point, but nothing 

is set in stone,” said Clark. 

Councilman Chuck Milliken assumed the council 

will have a much larger room where they hold executive 

sessions and added he would like to see the potential 

for the room to be rented out at some point. 

“I don’t know where that room will be set in the 

building, but I think it is a good idea for it to not be 

wasted space when it is not being used,” said Milliken. 

Public Service Director Matt Peoples said the council 

chamber will be flexible shared space without fixed 

chairs, but the council desk will be fixed. Peoples also 

talked about the size of the council chamber and being 

able to divide it that so there would be a large room 

that could be divided into two smaller rooms as well. 

Another consideration pointed out by Councilman 

Pat Lynch was keeping up with the technology of web 

cams and filming/broadcasting the meetings. 

“Then you will have a lot more people watching 

from home,” said Lynch. “There are some hot topics 

coming up where people want to attend. I think we are 

getting to the point where we won’t have as many people 

at the meetings like we may have before because 

you can watch from home, so that might be something 

that comes out as far as size of those facilities.”

“e Lovebirds” funny and enjoyable 

There are an untold number of movies that have little to no 

premise. Traditionally, they are more often found in the science 

fiction or comedic realms but they can sometimes be discovered in 

ones that go on to garner critical acclaim and win countless industry 

awards. 

For the most part, these films can be forgiven for its missing, 

meandering or convoluted logic, but they have to have an off-setting 

factor that makes it watchable, if not downright enjoyable. 

“The Lovebirds” is one of these films. It has a thin plot that 

unravels and veers into slapstick territory but it also has two 

sparkling leads that make the film watchable, if not downright 

enjoyable. 

Just a few years prior to the film’s release, Kumail Nanjiani 

and Issa Rae were not on Hollywood’s radar as a leading man or 

lady. They would get bit parts here and there but no studio was 

really willing to give them a chance to break out in their own vehicle. 

Then they did what older actresses have to do in order to be 

seen: produce their own projects and cast themselves in the main 

role. 

For Rae, her mainstream breakout was in 2016 when the television 

show “Insecure” started to air on HBO. And as for Nanjiani, 

his came the following year with “The Big Sick,” a loose retelling 

of his relationship with his now wife who was gravely ill at the 

time. 

Since then, the two have been proving that they do have that 

factor that can draw in a crowd and “The Lovebirds” proves that 

point as it is currently the most watched streaming movie. The 

film itself, which is a romantic comedy/action adventure hybrid, is 

not that great but the improvisational skills and the nuanced 

facial expressions of this comedic duo propel even the dullest 

moments forward. If it were not for the presence of these two and 

their fun chemistry, “The Lovebirds” would not have been such an 

entertaining escape. 

In the film, Nanjiani and Rae portray Jibran and Leilani, a 

long-term couple who are privately mulling whether to go their 

separate ways. Like all couples, we see them at their first blush of 

love — the flirting, their laughter at the smallest quips, and their 

joking compliments — and then it flashes forward to the blush of 

utter annoyance. 

After four years together, they are arguing about the smallest 

things; the time it takes to get ready, social media usage, secretive 

work projects and whether or not they could win ‘The Amazing 

Race.’ The latter argument seems to be their breaking point and, 

as they are driving to attend the dinner party of a recently 

engaged friend, decide it is time to end their relationship. 

Before the sheer awkwardness and reality of the moment can 

The Ohio Expositions Commission announced it will cancel the 

2020 Ohio State Fair, originally scheduled for July 29 - Aug. 9 in 

Columbus. 

Members of the Commission expressed concern for public 

health, as well as the financial feasibility of hosting a fair that 

would adhere to social distancing protocols and its impact on the 

long-term viability of the Ohio State Fair. 

“After careful thought and deliberation, we have decided to cancel 

the Ohio State Fair. Knowing how easily the virus spreads in 

large groups, we believe it is the safest path forward for the health 

and safety of all Ohioans.” said Andy Doehrel, chair of the Ohio 

Expositions Commission. “The financial ramifications of hosting a 

reduced-capacity Fair would be too great, and we need to protect 

the Ohio State Fair for future generations.” 

“Our first priority is the safety of the hundreds of thousands of 

people involved in the Ohio State Fair each year. While this is a 

difficult decision, we feel it is necessary to protect the fairgoers, 

exhibitors, volunteers, vendors, partners, performers, concessionaires, 

youth leaders, employees and sponsors,” said Virgil 

Strickler, general manager of the Ohio Expo Center & State Fair. 

fully sink in, Nanjiani 

accidentally hits a 

cyclist with his car. 

While checking on the 

slightly injured but otherwise alert biker, their 

vehicle is commandeered by a police officer 

who proceeds to chase the cyclist down and run 

him over. 

Believing that they will be the prime suspects 

in this crime — Leilani does not trust that 

the cops will buy their story as she is black 

and he is Pakistani with “a murderous beard 

and murderous brows” — they decide that 

they will have to solve this mystery themselves 

despite having no experience whatsoever. 

Following the 

clues laid out in the 

bicyclists’ phone, the 

two uncover a dark 

plot that takes them 

through the underbelly 

of the wealthiest in 

New Orleans and 

puts them into scenes 

right out of Stanley 

Kubrick’s bizarre film “Eyes Wide Shut.”

Now, with the cops and an entire secret society on their tails, 

the recently broken up couple have to try to put aside their petty 

arguments and simmering annoyances in order to save each 

other’s life. 

The script, written by Aaron Abrams and Brendan Gall, is easily 

the weakest point of the movie as it struggles to advance and 

explain an already thin premise: Based on the plot alone, the viewer 

isn’t excepting much in the way of realism but it didn’t help that 

the writing team just completely drops any notion of following 

threads near the end. 

As stated above, what saves “The Lovebirds” from the script is 

Nanjiani and Rae, who improvise most of their lines and add subtle 

expressions of longing and loathing as they portray a couple on 

the brink. It is their chemistry, skill, talent and personalities that 

make this movie one to catch on Netflix despite its weak premise 

and follow through.

Last year, 934,925 people attended the Ohio State Fair during 

its 12-day run. These attendees came from each of Ohio’s 88 counties, 

all 50 states, the District of Columbia, as well as Canada and 

Mexico. 

The Ohio Expositions Commission is focused on developing a 

strategy to responsibly reopen its year-round facilities when 

appropriate, and to welcome guests back for the 2021 Ohio State 

Fair, scheduled for July 28 through Aug. 8 of next year.

CW Schools’ financial destiny still under control 


Staff Writer 

Conservative planning is paying off for 

Canal Winchester Schools in weathering 

the financial impacts of the coronavirus 

pandemic. 

According to Treasurer Nick Roberts’ 

April summary of the district’s five year 

forecast, although revenue was under 

expenditures by $273,000 due to timing in 

receiving significant revenue sources, he is 

forecasting an ending positive cash balance 

$627,000 higher than a previous October 

forecast. 

“Cash-wise, through the five-year forecast, 

we’re still sitting pretty nice,” said 

Roberts, who said the only impact so far on 

district finances is in state revenue. 

While he expects a cut between five and 

20 percent of nearly $1 million dollars, he 

said the district is “probably in the top five 

percent of school districts in Ohio” that can 

weather the financial storm because of 

planning.” 

“We are in control of our destiny, not 

COVID-19,” said Roberts, who admitted it 

will be a financial juggling act in the 

upcoming months. “We’ll continue to be 

strong.” 

Health insurance premium costs 

increased by $576,878 and dental premiums 

went up $8,751 as Roberts expected in 

his year-over-year analysis. While dental 

claims were down nearly nine percent, 

health insurance claims increased by 19.5 

percent. 

“This is cause for concern considering 

the prior year had higher claims,” said 

Roberts’ “The district experienced drastic 

reductions the last two months due to the 

COVID-19 restrictions. We anticipate 

claims increasing again once the restrictions 

are removed. We will need to elevate 

plan design if this trend continues.” 

During the same meeting, 

Superintendent James Sotlar said the high 

school construction is ahead of schedule. 

The former high school office was dismantled, 

including removal of walls, and 

will become a student commons area and 

the old media center now serves as the 

office. 

“Hopefully, they’ll have the project done 

sooner than later,” said Sotlar. 

Veterans Hall of Fame seeking applications 

The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame is 

accepting nominations to recognize those 

who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and 

continue to contribute to our communities, 

state, and nation through exceptional acts 

of volunteerism, advocacy, professional distinction, 

public service, or philanthropy. 

Each year, the hall of fame inducts up to 

20 former service members based on recommendations 

from an executive committee 

of veterans from throughout the state 

and approval from the governor of Ohio. 

To be considered, the veteran must 

meet the following criteria: 

• Be a past or current Ohio resident 

• Have received an honorable discharge 

“We are in control of our destiny, not 

COVID-19.” 

Nick Roberts, CW Schools treasurer 

• Be of good moral character 

Sam Felton Jr., honored at the Ohio 

Veterans Hall of Fame Class of 2019 

Induction Ceremony said, “This Hall of 

Fame sets the standard for recognizing 

Ohio’s veterans for accomplishments 

beyond their military service. In addition, 

it is a fitting way to say thank you for your 

service to our nation and thank you for 

your continued service to our communities.” 

The nomination deadline is June 1. 

Guidelines, a sample nomination, and 

more information are available at 

dvs.ohio.gov.

2020-2021 TRYOUTS 

Celebrating 16 years, PSC has grown to be one of the most successful and 

respected clubs in all of Ohio! PSC has a proven system of player development 

that is implemented by excellent leaders and professional coaches in a stable, 

player-centered environment that allows players to enjoy their experience and 

reach their fullest potential 

Teams offers begin May 26th for returning 

players and May 29th for new players. 

Tryouts scheduled in June if necessary. 


Happenings at Wagnalls Memorial 

Desperate for new books and movies? You can now make an 

appointment to pick up items at the Wagnalls Memorial Library, 

150 E. Columbus St., Lithopolis. Request items from the library’s 

online catalog or call staff to assist you in selecting materials.

Play soccer for 

fitness and fun 

PRIDE Soccer Club is thrilled to be celebrating 16 years of developing 

soccer players and people! 

PSC “Tryouts” and team formation for the 2020-2021 season will look 

differently this year with COVID 19 restrictions. Teams will begin forming 

the last week of May and there will be open sessions throughout June to add 

additional players to teams. All interested players need to register online for 

2020-2021 tryouts to be considered for a team and contact the PRIDE SC 

Boys or Girls Director if they have any questions about joining a team. 

How do I register? 

Go to www.pridesoccerclub.com, click login/register in top right, find 

2020-2021 tryouts 

At what age can players join? 

Players can join at U7 (2014 birth year) and play U8. 

What is the difference between PRIDE SC and recreation soccer? 

PSC provides a more developmentally focused program that will better 

help prepare players for the next level than a recreation program. This is 

accomplished by a professional coaching staff in a competitive environment 

with 2-3 times as many training opportunities. 

Where are training/games? 

PSC trains and hosts home games in Canal Winchester, Groveport, 

Ashville and Carroll. League games and tournaments are mostly in Central 

Ohio but can be throughout Ohio depending on the age and level of the 

team. 

PCS has a professional coaching staff that 

is one of the most highly qualified and 

educated in all of Ohio with over 80% of 

the staff having a USSF “D” License or 

higher. 

PCS has developed over 60 players in the 

last 4 years that have went on to play 

College Soccer! 

PCS has an elite level HS program with 

U15-U19 players coming from 39 

different high schools in Ohio! 

PCS offers year-round programs at 

EVERY age level to maximize player 

development! 

PCS is committed to making a local and 

global impact off of the field through 

many service projects and strives to 

develop character in players that will 

enable them to further impact their world!
