More police protection in <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>?<br />
Yes, once <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> City Council<br />
holds two more readings on legislation contracting<br />
for the services of an additional<br />
deputy with the Fairfield County Sheriff’s<br />
Department.<br />
Under the current contract, Fairfield<br />
County provides 11 deputies serving a total<br />
of 376 hours per week. A pair of deputies patrol<br />
the city 24 hours a day, seven days a<br />
week with a third deputy working a shift<br />
mutually agreed upon by the mayor and<br />
sheriff.<br />
If approved, the agreement adds another<br />
deputy–under the same mutually-agreed<br />
upon language–to exclusively patrol <strong>Canal</strong><br />
<strong>Winchester</strong>, bringing the total to 12 funded<br />
deputies.<br />
Subject to an annual appropriation by<br />
council, the sheriff further agrees to a second<br />
additional deputy beginning on Jan. 1,<br />
2021, which would bring the total of funded<br />
deputies exclusively contracted to the city to<br />
13.<br />
“I would personally feel more comfortable<br />
if we had one more officer,” said Councilman<br />
Mike Coolman. “We do have a plan.<br />
We’re putting it into action, and this is the<br />
first step.<br />
The salary for each additional officer is<br />
$88,000 and the sheriff’s department provides<br />
all training programs, special equipment<br />
and other regular sheriff’s office<br />
facilities.<br />
“This is a good start,” said Councilman<br />

While stating his support for the agreement,<br />
fellow Councilman Bob Clark said he<br />
would feel better if he knew what the status<br />
was with law enforcement provided by the<br />
Madison Township Police and what taxpayers<br />
are getting for the $600,000 they pay to<br />
the township for police service.<br />
Community Center update<br />
On Aug. 31, the Director of the Ohio Department<br />
of Health issued an order allowing<br />
the re-opening of Adult Day Care and Senior<br />
Centers effective Sept. 21.<br />
While there are still a few hoops to jump<br />
through, Contract Services Administrator<br />
Bill Sims said the city is getting ready to reopen<br />
the Frances Steube Community Center<br />
on a limited basis.<br />
“There is a laundry list of things we have<br />
to do,” said Sims.<br />
According to Sims, the community/senior<br />
center staff will need to be tested for<br />
COVID-19 on a bi-weekly basis and there<br />
must be a written plan in place for building<br />
use, including a maximum 50 percent capacity<br />
and social distancing depending on<br />
the activity.<br />
“We’re certainly able to do it,” Sims said.<br />
“These are established rules to protect the<br />
most vulnerable. Right now, we’re required,<br />
if we use it as a senior center, to maintain a<br />
daily log (for contact tracing, if necessary).”<br />
Although the center will be available for<br />
rental, Sims said precautions need to be<br />
taken to ensure no co-mingling of groups before<br />
the area is sanitized.<br />
“It shouldn’t be too difficult if we coordinate,”<br />
said Simms.

Construction at two Scioto<br />
River boat access points<br />
Improvements are scheduled for two<br />
Scioto River boat access locations in<br />
Pickaway County, according to the Ohio<br />
Department of Natural Resources Division<br />
of Wildlife.<br />
Construction will last through late fall<br />
or early winter. Both locations will be<br />
closed during construction.<br />
The locations under construction<br />
include one in South Bloomfield at State<br />
Route 316, and another at the Elmon<br />
Richards Wildlife Area boat ramp. These<br />
ramps will provide boater access to miles of<br />
prime fishing, hunting, and wildlife viewing<br />
areas. The Scioto River corridor is<br />
home to a diverse number of species<br />
including bald eagles, beavers, mink, spotted<br />
bass, smallmouth bass, and flathead<br />
catfish.<br />
The South<br />
Bloomfield location<br />
is scheduled to<br />
receive a new concrete<br />
boat ramp. The<br />
new access will include a gravel drive and<br />
parking lot to accommodate small trailers.<br />
This ramp is designed for paddle crafts and<br />
small boats and will be similar to the existing<br />
Mackey Ford Wildlife Area ramp six<br />
river miles upstream.<br />
Construction work will upgrade the<br />
Elmon Richards Wildlife Area ramp in<br />
Circleville at State Route 22. The current<br />
ramp was built in 2005 and the concrete<br />
will be reconfigured to better accommodate<br />
boats. The gravel drive will be replaced<br />
and drainage improved to fix low, often wet<br />
areas. This ramp is 10 river miles downstream<br />
from the South Bloomfield access.<br />
The project is funded through a gas tax<br />
on marine fuels and the Sport Fish<br />
Restoration Act, an excise tax on fishing<br />
equipment administered through the<br />
Division of Wildlife and U.S. Fish &<br />
Wildlife Service.<br />

Groveport Road studies<br />
Groveport City Engineer Steve Farst<br />
said two studies will be conducted along<br />
the Groveport Road corridor. One is a safety<br />
study between Greenpointe Drive and<br />
the Kroger entrance to identify and design<br />
intersection improvements at Greenpointe<br />
Drive and at State Route 317. The other is<br />
a planning study of the thoroughfare route<br />
between Bixby Road and State Route 317.<br />
New project funded<br />
Governor Mike DeWine and Lt.<br />
Governor Jon Husted announced the<br />
approval of assistance for the following<br />
project: Zenni USA (Zenni Optical) expects<br />
to create 189 full-time positions, generating<br />
$8.2 million in new annual payroll as a<br />
result of the company’s new project in the<br />
village of Obetz.<br />
Zenni Optical is an online retailer that<br />
sells prescription and non-prescription eyeglasses,<br />
sunglasses, sports glasses, and<br />
goggles. The Ohio Tax Credit Authority<br />
approved a 1.557 percent, 10-year Job<br />
Creation Tax Credit for this project.<br />

Hamilton Twp. Schools offer free student meals<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
A federal grant is providing a free<br />
breakfast and lunch for all students in<br />
kindergarten through 12th grade throughout<br />
the Hamilton Local Schools district.<br />
The service started Sept. 8 and is funded<br />
through the USDA National School<br />
Lunch Program. It continues until the end<br />
of the year or when USDA grant funds are<br />
exhausted. After that, only students verified<br />
to receive free or reduced-cost breakfast<br />
and lunch will continue to do so.<br />
“The program provides meals, not only<br />
for students who qualify for free or reduced<br />
meals, but also for each and every one of<br />
our students,” said Hamilton Schools<br />
Treasurer Adam Collier.<br />
According to Collier, the district applied<br />
for the grant last spring and is reimbursed<br />
for both breakfast and lunch meals served<br />
to students during the funding period.<br />
There is no change in the components of<br />
the free meals.<br />
“We participate in the National School<br />
Lunch Program and follow the meal pattern<br />
for lunch and breakfast. Grant money<br />
would not affect the meal pattern regulations,”<br />
said Mary Anne Hillerich, food services<br />
coordinator.<br />
Hillerich said the four district school<br />
buildings normally serve approximately<br />
2,000 students for lunch and 1,400 for<br />
breakfast. There are 3,000 students<br />
enrolled in the district.<br />
The regular cost for lunch at the high<br />
school is $2.75, at the middle school it is<br />
$2.50, the cost at the intermediate building<br />
is $2.25 and the price for a lunch at the elementary<br />
school is $2.<br />

Southeast Branch Library<br />
is open for browsing<br />
By Rick Palsgrove<br />
Managing Editor<br />
People love libraries and the ongoing<br />
coronavirus pandemic put a crimp in that<br />
love affair when the Columbus<br />
Metropolitan Library system closed all its<br />
branches on March 13.<br />
But hope springs eternal for area book<br />
and lovers of information because, as of<br />
Sept. 22, the Southeast Branch of the<br />
Columbus Metropolitan Library, located at<br />
3980 S. Hamilton Road, opened for browsing.<br />
“Like all CML locations, the Southeast<br />
Branch plays a vital role in the community<br />
it serves with services like public computer<br />
access, Job Help, Homework Help, and<br />
Reading Buddies,” said Gregg Dodd, director<br />
of marketing for the Columbus<br />
Metropolitan Library. “During the COVID-<br />
19 pandemic, the branch has worked even<br />
harder to meet the needs of customers with<br />
curbside pickup and free copying, scanning<br />
and faxing services. The Southeast Branch<br />
and all other locations are open for limited<br />
services. The Southeast Branch opened<br />
ahead of 10 other CML locations.”<br />
Dodd said the Southeast Branch is currently<br />
open for limited services, which<br />
CW Recycles, a local recycling drop-off<br />
program is offered on the first and third<br />
Saturdays of each month from 9 a.m to<br />
noon in the parking lot of<br />
<strong>Winchester</strong>/Indian Trail Elementary<br />
Schools, 6767 and 6865 Gender Road,<br />
<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>.<br />
Participants are asked to sort items into<br />
two categories prior to drop-off.<br />
Local drop-off recycling<br />
includes: browsing the collection; using the<br />
public computers; print, copy, scan and<br />
faxing; getting job help; picking up items;<br />
returning items; and getting Grab and Go<br />
books.<br />
“Curbside Pick-up remains available as<br />
well,” said Dodd.<br />
Due to the pandemic, ongoing safety<br />
precautions remain in place. According to<br />
Dodd, the following restrictions and services<br />
remain unavailable for customers:<br />
•Customers over the age of five are<br />
required to wear a face covering.<br />
•Meeting rooms are unavailable for<br />
booking and use.<br />
•All in-person programming has been<br />
paused (such as Storytimes).<br />
•The number of customers in the building<br />
are limited to ensure effective social<br />
distancing. The library staff will let customers<br />
know if they need to wait.<br />
•There is a one hour limit on the use of<br />
public computers.<br />
Dodd said the normal daily attendance<br />
at the Southeast Branch when it was in<br />
operation before the COVID outbreak was<br />
around 650 visits.<br />

district guidelines, all guests must remain<br />
in their vehicles, volunteers will be on<br />
hand to remove recyclable items.<br />
with two students in the middle school is<br />
approximately $100 a month.<br />
According to Collier, during the preceding<br />
fiscal year–July 1, 2019 through June<br />
30, <strong>2020</strong>–the district received $971,565 in<br />
federal assistance for its free/reduced<br />
lunch program. Hillerich said 72 percent of<br />
the student population received free or<br />
reduced meals for the 2019 through <strong>2020</strong><br />
school year.<br />
“So far, we are at 58 percent for this<br />
school year, but we are still receiving applications<br />
from families,” said Hillerich.<br />
In addition to cafeteria meals, hot<br />
lunches and go-to breakfasts are delivered<br />
via daily buses at different locations<br />
throughout the district. A cafeteria worker<br />
rides alongside the bus driver to help deliver<br />
and keep track of students picking up<br />
meals.

No Apple Butter Day festival, just the sale of apple butter<br />
By Rick Palsgrove<br />
Managing Editor<br />
Groveport’s Apple Butter Day will not be the same this<br />
year, but the spirit of the day can live on in the community<br />
in spite of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.<br />
The festival has been a mainstay and focal point for the<br />
community since <strong>October</strong> 1974 when it began as a simple<br />
gathering of friends cooking apples over an open fire in a<br />
church parking lot. One can just sense the in the autumn<br />
air as September turns into <strong>October</strong> that it is time for<br />
Apple Butter Day.<br />
The festival has grown over the years, with the city’s<br />
help, into the large, popular festival it has become.<br />
However, like many things in this coronavirus pandemic<br />
dominated year, Groveport’s Apple Butter Day is going<br />
to be a lot different this year. A whole lot different.<br />
This version of Apple Butter Day<br />
“It’s going to be a scaled down event,” said Groveport<br />
City Administrator B.J. King.<br />
King said he and representatives of the Groveport<br />
Heritage Society met with the Franklin County Health<br />
Department to come up with a way to somehow make<br />
Apple Butter Day happen this year.<br />
The result is that this year the festival itself will not<br />
exist as there will be no craft booths, no historical displays,<br />
no bands, no entertainment (except for the possibility of<br />
piped up bluegrass music), no public attendance, no anything<br />
at Apple Butter Day except for the drive through<br />
sale of jars of apple butter.<br />
City officials had hoped to shoot off the unused Fourth<br />
of July fireworks on the evening of Apple Butter Day.<br />
However, city officials stated on Aug. 24 that the Apple<br />
Butter Day fireworks are now cancelled.<br />
According to information provided to the city by<br />
the Groveport Heritage Society, jars of apple butter<br />
will be sold for $5 per jar from three or four drive<br />
through stations set up along Wirt Road in front of<br />
the Sharp’s Landing building and the log house on<br />
Oct. 10. Buyers will drive down Wirt Road from Main<br />
Street and be guided to a specific pick up station and<br />
exit through College Street or Rohr Road. There is a<br />
limit of two jars of apple butter purchased per family<br />
and payment is in cash only. Those wishing to purchase<br />
apple butter must call 614-836-3333 to order<br />
and arrange a pick up time within a two hour window.<br />
Pick up times are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. After 4<br />
p.m. apple butter will be sold without appointments.<br />
A small group of volunteers made apple butter in<br />
Heritage Park on Oct. 3.<br />
“It’s important we keep the annual tradition of<br />
Apple Butter Day and its unbroken streak of being<br />
held since 1974, even though it is significantly different<br />
this year,” said King.<br />
Remembering Apple Butter Day<br />
In normal years, Apple Butter Day is rich in tradition<br />
featuring historical demonstrations, crafters,<br />
and great food - especially the piping hot, freshly<br />
stirred apple butter slathered on homemade bread.<br />
Apples were important to Ohio’s and Groveport’s<br />
pioneer agricultural economy and daily life. Apples<br />
could be stored year round and travelled well when<br />
shipped over the rough roads or the slow moving<br />
freight boats on the Ohio and Erie <strong>Canal</strong>.<br />
Remember, Apple Butter Day encourages us to<br />
slow down, enjoy friends and family, embrace the<br />
pleasures of simple foods, and reinforce our links to<br />
the past.<br />

Moses-Mouser Eye Care<br />
Dr. Joshua Morris is a board-certified Optometrist<br />
who grew up in Bellville, Ohio. He<br />
completed his undergraduate degree at the<br />
University of Akron, where he graduated<br />
magna cum laude with honors.<br />
Dr. Morris attended The Ohio State University<br />
College of Optometry and graduated cum laude with honors to receive<br />
his Doctor of Optometry Degree in May 2019. After completing his<br />
studies, he was awarded the “Primary Vision Care Clinical Excellence<br />
Award”, in 2019.<br />
Dr. Morris is a member of the American Optometric Association, the<br />
Ohio Optometric Association, and The Ohio State Alumni Association.<br />
He is excited to practice full scope optometry, diagnosing and treating<br />
a variety of ocular disorders and diseases in patients of all ages, but has<br />
a special interest in contact lenses and ocular disease.<br />
On a personal note, Dr. Morris and his wife Tess, enjoy spending time<br />
with their family, friends, and their Bernese Mountain dog Maverick,<br />
cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes, trying new foods, and exploring<br />
Columbus breweries.<br />
Q: Are contact lenses right for me?<br />
A: 9/10 people who wear glasses are good candidates for contact lenses.<br />
Contact lenses can correct for nearsightedness, farsightedness,<br />
astigmatism, and even help you decrease your dependency on readers.<br />
They can provide a wider field of view and the lenses won’t fog up in cold<br />
weather like glasses. Contact lenses are also a great option for when you’re<br />
exercising or playing sports where glasses could get in the way.<br />
Q: How often should someone who<br />
wears contact lenses get an eye exam?<br />
A: Someone who wears contact lenses should have a comprehensive<br />
dilated eye exam at least once a year. Contact lenses are medical devices<br />
and need to be properly fitted and assessed by an eye care professional.<br />
Schedule your contact lens exam today<br />
with Dr. Morris.<br />

Trick-or-treat to be held in CW<br />
By Rick Palsgrove<br />
Managing Editor<br />
Trick-or-treat will take place in <strong>Canal</strong><br />
<strong>Winchester</strong>, but other familiar Halloween<br />
festivities will not due to the ongoing coronavirus<br />
pandemic.<br />
According to Mayor Mike Ebert, trick-ortreat<br />
will be held Thursday, Oct. 29 from<br />
5:30- 7:30 p.m.<br />
“As always, make sure you are going to<br />
homes of people you know, and for this year<br />
maybe not go to as many homes as you normally<br />
would,” said Ebert. “Trick-or-treaters<br />
should wear a mask and keep a safe distance<br />
of six feet or more from others.”<br />
State guidelines/recommendations<br />
The Ohio Department of Health issued<br />
guidelines and recommendations regarding<br />
Halloween festivities this year due to the<br />
ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which include:<br />
cancelling or avoiding hayrides and<br />
haunted houses; not holding large Halloween<br />
parties; wearing protective face<br />
masks and practicing social distancing of at<br />
least six feet; using hand sanitizer often;<br />
avoid activities like bobbing for apples; and<br />
select outdoor events or those that allow<br />
staying in your vehicle.<br />
The Ohio Department of Health also recommends<br />
people be cautious regarding<br />
trick-or-treating. It suggests holding drive<br />
through trick-or-treating events, holding<br />
drive by costume contests, leaving treats for<br />
friends and neighbors, decorating your<br />
home and hiding treats for your kids, and<br />
holding costume contests and pumpkin<br />
carry-offs virtually online.<br />
If trick-or-treating door-to-door the department<br />
states parents should limit the<br />
number of houses visited, wiping off candy<br />
wrappers with sanitizer when you arrive<br />
home, allow kids to only eat factory wrapped<br />
treats and avoid homemade treats by<br />
strangers, and if your child is at greater<br />
risk for COVID contact your doctor before<br />
participating in Halloween activities. Community<br />
members could consider leaving<br />
treats on doorsteps or on an outside table.<br />
Precautions: wear a mask if near others,<br />
carry hand sanitizer for use during trick-ortreating,<br />
limit the number of people in a<br />
group, limit those in a group to family members,<br />
those passing out candy should wear a<br />
mask.<br />

to get that many, we would be required to<br />

City charter review update<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
After a slow start due to the outbreak of COVID-19,<br />
<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>’s City Charter Review Commission is<br />
kicking to high gear and holding regular meetings as<br />
part of the process to revisit the city charter every 10<br />
years.<br />
Timed to coincide with the census, the 11-member<br />
and two alternate commission meets during the same<br />
year the U.S. Census is held and is comprised of six people<br />
appointed by city council and five appointed by the<br />
mayor. Appointees serve until they complete the task of<br />
evaluating the city charter and deliver their final report<br />
to council.<br />
Commission members review charter rules and procedures<br />
regarding corporate power; council powers; legislative<br />
procedures; the publication of ordinances and<br />
resolutions; administrative departments; boards and<br />
commissions; finance, taxation and debt; referendums<br />
and recalls; and ethics, campaign financing and the<br />
process to remove officials.<br />
The current charter was adopted by voters on Nov.<br />
2, 2010. It became effective with <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>’s official<br />
status as a city on April 29, 2011.<br />
According to the present document, in order to “have<br />
the benefits of municipal home rule and exercise all of<br />
the powers of local self-government conferred under the<br />
Constitution and Statutes of the State of Ohio,” and “to<br />
preserve the traditional and historic values of the community,”<br />
citizens vote on proposed changes to the charter.<br />
Once the Charter Review Commission completes its<br />
process, their recommendations are forwarded to council<br />
for action. The commission does not determine what<br />
is put on the ballot. Council reviews the commission’s<br />
recommendations and then determines what moves forward<br />
to the ballot.<br />
In the past, changes proposed by the commission and<br />
approved by council usually appeared on the general<br />
election ballot in the same year the commission was convened.<br />
However, the commission is only required to<br />
complete their work by the end of the year in which they<br />
are convened.<br />
While there was not enough time to make the Nov. 3<br />
ballot this year, any proposed changes approved by<br />

CWHS school store opens<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> High School students<br />
desiring school supplies, spirit wear, or a<br />
gift for a special friend need look no further<br />
than around the corner in their school building<br />
with the opening Sept. 21 of a new<br />
school store–the <strong>Canal</strong> Corner.<br />
Run by business students in teacher<br />
David King’s classes, the store offers bags,<br />
pennants, hats, supplies, trinkets and a corner<br />
where BrockStrong items are sold,<br />
which King said provides a nice tie to the<br />
community.<br />
“Some things are still in the works as<br />
COVID brought a slowdown to a lot of<br />
things,” King said. “We had cabinets put in<br />
and there will be a lot of silhouettes for<br />
every sport we have, including band. We’re<br />
still working, but we’ll get there.”<br />
Before the end of school last year, students<br />
were asked what they would like to<br />
see on the store’s shelves. In preparing for<br />
stocking, staffing, and running <strong>Canal</strong> Corner,<br />
King’s business classes did market research<br />
and are studying aspects of human<br />
resources.<br />
Profits earned in the store will be put<br />
back into the Business Professionals of<br />
America organization and then used where<br />
needed in the school.<br />
In addition to the store itself, a grant<br />
funded the purchase of a wide-format<br />

Academic Intervention Coach Amiee<br />
Byers–who works with seniors in a workbased<br />
learning program and those at risk<br />
for graduating on an alternative pathway–<br />
said her students will gain real work force<br />
experience on the machines and be able to<br />
go to a sign shop with basic entry level experience–if<br />
they are interested in that career<br />
field after graduation.<br />
“We’re still waiting on an Internet connection<br />
to be able to run the machines<br />
(housed in room 119),” said Byers. “Hopefully,<br />
with some of the money made through<br />
the school store, we’ll be able to purchase<br />
additional equipment to make the store bigger<br />
and the production piece bigger. The big<br />
vision is that we’ll be able to break out of the<br />
high school and open it up to the community<br />
where we can supply shirts and signage for<br />
companies and the community.”<br />
Byers said organizers reached out to the<br />
<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> Joint Recreation District,<br />
which expressed interest in partnering with<br />
the school for team gear.<br />
“It’s a really exciting time for the school<br />
store and the production piece of that,” said<br />
Byers.<br />
meeting is Oct. 14. Due to COVID‐19, until<br />
further notice, commission meetings are not<br />
open to the public. Individuals interested in<br />
addressing the commission are asked to<br />
submit written comments. Comments received<br />
by 3 p.m. the day of the meeting will<br />
be acknowledged at that evening's meeting.<br />

“Enola Holmes” is entertaining for all ages<br />
While preparing to watch and review a<br />
new movie or television show in which I<br />
have aged, allegedly, past its target demographic,<br />
I often try to experience it through<br />
the lens of a younger version of myself.<br />
And in order to tap into the mindset of<br />
that bygone era, I ask a series of questions<br />
during and after the viewing.<br />
They include whether my younger self<br />
would have liked the characters or have<br />
been annoyed by them; whether my<br />
younger self would have found more enjoyment<br />
in the story being told or by crafting<br />
a different version in real-time; or whether<br />
my younger self would be embarrassed if<br />
the older version publicly stated that she<br />
liked it.<br />
For the most part, the younger version<br />
and the current form can find common<br />
ground through similar but evolved interests<br />
and that certainly applies in the case<br />
of “Enola Holmes,” a new film streaming on<br />
Netflix that is geared toward young adults<br />
but can be enjoyed by all age demographics.<br />
There is plenty here in the form of entertainment<br />
to go around, which is actually<br />
surprising because my adult self thought<br />
the opposite based on its trailer.<br />
In this charming film, Millie Bobby<br />
Brown plays the titular character who is<br />
the youngest of the famed Holmes children<br />
— brother Sherlock (played by Henry<br />
The Reel Deal<br />
Dedra<br />
Cordle<br />
Cavill) is making a<br />
name for himself in the<br />
world of criminology<br />
and the elder Mycroft<br />
(played by Sam Claflin)<br />
is known throughout<br />
polite society as a man<br />
of impeccable character<br />
and good standing.<br />
While much is<br />
known about the<br />
dashing and intelligent<br />
brothers, little is known about their<br />
sister, and that is just the way their mother<br />
wants it to be.<br />
After the death of her husband and following<br />
the relocation of her sons to the city,<br />
Eudoria Holmes (Helena Bonham Carter)<br />
decided that she did not want to raise her<br />
daughter in the traditional sense. Gone were<br />
the finishing schools with their rules and<br />
deference to a man’s opinion and in its place<br />
were studies on the sciences, martial arts<br />
and the importance of speaking one’s mind.<br />
Through this unorthodox education,<br />
especially in Victorian times, Enola flourished<br />
but formed a deep attached to her<br />
mother in lieu of friendships with children<br />
her age. Knowing that her child had to be<br />
more independent, Eudoria did the only<br />
thing she could think of: cut the strings to<br />
make it happen.<br />
On the morning of her 16th birthday,<br />
Enola wakes to find her mother has disappeared.<br />
Believing that her brother<br />
Sherlock could solve this mystery in two<br />
seconds flat, she requests that he and<br />
Mycroft return home. When they arrive,<br />
Enola discovers that the only thing they<br />
want to do is fix her.<br />
“She is such a mess,” declares Mycroft<br />
as he hires a reputable governess to drag<br />
her off to a finishing school.<br />
Before such a travesty can occur, Enola<br />
puts her own sleuthing skills to work and<br />
uncovers some clues as to her mother’s<br />
potential whereabouts.<br />
Wanting to know why she left (and not<br />
wanting to go to boarding school and learn<br />
how to “embroider and hem handkerchiefs”),<br />
she runs away to London to solve<br />
this mystery. But like all good mysteries,<br />
there is a secondary mystery afoot that<br />
involves a missing young Lord (Louis<br />
Partridge), a reform bill and an underground<br />
movement set to shake up society.<br />
With her brothers on her heels, along with<br />
an apparent assassin, Enola has to make<br />
sense of all of these semi-related threads<br />
while finding her footing in a new world<br />
that is openly hostile to spirited young<br />
women like herself.<br />
Though its plot is a little clunky<br />
and darker plot threads are dropped<br />
in favor of simplicity, the charm of its<br />
lead character and the chemistry<br />
between the cast members are good<br />
enough to propel it past any bumps<br />
that occur in this origin story.<br />
Based on a series of novels by Nancy<br />
Springer (though primarily adapted from<br />
“The Case of the Missing Marquess”),<br />
“Enola Holmes” is a great starting point for<br />
a planned movie franchise. Though its plot<br />
is a little clunky and darker plot threads<br />
are dropped in favor of simplicity, the<br />
charm of its lead character and the chemistry<br />
between the cast members are good<br />
enough to propel it past any bumps that<br />
occur in this origin story.<br />
With wit and an overarching sense of<br />
sweetness, “Enola Holmes” is a fun movie<br />
to watch, though it is about 25 minutes too<br />
long.<br />
But despite a few pacing and dropped<br />
thread gripes, it is an entertaining film<br />
that almost all age groups should be able to<br />
enjoy.<br />

<strong>Messenger</strong> photo by Linda Dillman<br />
Brandy Goodyear, carrying her eight-month-old son Reeden, along with her husband,<br />
Tyler, visit the <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> Farmers’ market and Pon Black’s Black Thai<br />
Farm stand on Sept. 19. It was the family’s first visit to the market.<br />
<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> hydrant flushing<br />
<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>’s Division of Water<br />
will flush fire hydrants between 8 a.m. and<br />
3:30 p.m., Monday — Friday, through Oct. 9.<br />
The water department offers tips for residents<br />
when crews are flushing hydrants in<br />
your area:<br />
•If you see a hydrant being flushed on<br />
your street, avoid running tap water, washing<br />
machines or dishwashers until flushing<br />
in your area is complete.<br />
•If you see hydrant flushing crews working,<br />
please drive carefully and treat them<br />
like any other road construction crew.<br />
During or immediately following hydrant<br />
flushing, tap water may appear discolored.<br />
Although a slight discoloration may last for<br />
a few hours, it does not affect the taste or<br />
quality of the water. This discoloration only<br />
affects the appearance of the water and<br />
poses no health threat.<br />
Should you notice discoloration or other<br />
side effects from hydrant flushing, the<br />
water department suggests the following:<br />
•If you encounter discolored water, shut<br />
your water off and wait several minutes.<br />
After waiting, check the clarity by running<br />
cold water for a few minutes to allow new<br />
water to flow into your pipes. If the water is<br />
still discolored, wait a few minutes and<br />
check again. In some cases, it may be a few<br />
hours before the water is completely clear.<br />
•Avoid washing laundry during scheduled<br />
flushing hours. After hydrants in your<br />
area have been flushed, wait until water<br />
runs clear from your tap, then begin with a<br />
load of dark laundry before doing lights or<br />
whites.<br />
•If water pressure or volume seems low,<br />
check your faucet screens for trapped particles.<br />
For information contact <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>’s<br />
Division of Water at 614-837-5623 or<br />
614 837-7716.
