Hamilton Schools stay<br />
in hybrid learning mode<br />
By Rick Palsgrove<br />
Managing Editor<br />
COVID-19 cases are on the rise, but<br />
Hamilton Local Schools are waiting to hear<br />
from Governor Mike DeWine before<br />
switching to 100 percent online instruction.<br />
“Hamilton Local Schools will remain in<br />
a hybrid operating model of instruction<br />
until advised by Governor DeWine or<br />
health department officials to move to a<br />
remote operating model,” said Hamilton<br />
Schools Director of Public Relations Vince<br />
Payne. “To this point, all area health<br />
department officials have told us that students<br />
are safer in school because we can<br />
ensure they are following guidelines related<br />
to masks and distancing.”<br />
Payne said district staff continually<br />
works with local officials to monitor cases<br />
within the school district boundaries.<br />
“Our community has done an excellent<br />
job throughout this school year in following<br />
guidelines to minimize cases throughout<br />
our district,” said Payne.<br />
As of Nov. 18, district officials report<br />
there are five active cases in the entire<br />
school district of people who have tested<br />
positive for COVID-19 .<br />
“We update our current COVID-19<br />
cases report at 3 p.m. daily,” said Payne.<br />
To see these updated numbers, go<br />
online to hamilton-local.k12.oh.us.<br />
In a video address to district residents,<br />
Hamilton Local Schools Superintendent<br />
Mark Tyler said that, at any given time<br />
under the hydrid model of instruction the<br />
school buildings are at about one third of<br />
capacity, which enables social distancing<br />
“Our community has done an<br />
excellent job throughout this school<br />
year in following guidelines to minimize<br />
cases throughout our district.”<br />
- Vince Payne<br />
Director of Public Relations<br />
to be achieved.<br />
Tyler noted that a big factor in maintaining<br />
the hybrid model of instruction,<br />
which is a mix of classroom and online<br />
instruction, is the availability of teaching<br />
staff.<br />
“If our teachers start to get sick, it won’t<br />
take having many off work before there are<br />
not enough substitute teachers to come in<br />
and efficiently manage students,” said<br />
Tyler. “This applies to transportation also.”<br />
Tyler said everyone throughout the district<br />
is doing a good job of handling the<br />
ongoing coronavirus pandemic and added,<br />
“Everyone stay safe.”<br />

Little Libraries thrive<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Little Libraries are popping up across<br />
the Hamilton Township area bringing<br />
the opportunity for children of all ages to<br />
enjoy finding and taking a book home.<br />
Organizer Karen Schutte began the<br />
project in 2019, along with the help of<br />
Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, churches,<br />
an Obetz market, and volunteers.<br />
“I knew that the Columbus<br />
Metropolitan Library had ceased it’s<br />
bookmobile service in our area and also<br />
our district’s participation in their<br />
Summer Reading program was very low,”<br />
said Schutte, who is a library media specialist<br />
at Hamilton Elementary. “I<br />
thought having Little Libraries in each of<br />
our neighborhood pockets might be a better<br />
way for our kiddos to get reading<br />
materials. The Hamilton Elementary<br />
PTO provided financial support of $300<br />
to begin building our first 4 structures.”<br />
Girl Scout troop leader Violet<br />
Callahan said her scouts were looking for<br />
a service project when she overheard<br />
Schutte at school talking about the<br />
library project. Her daughter Kendra<br />
said she and her sister helped paint the<br />
unfinished structures before they were<br />
placed around town.<br />
“We’ve had a huge feedback from the<br />
community,” said Callahan “and we’re<br />
trying to get more placed throughout the<br />
community. We’ve had tons of donations<br />
and it’s always good for kids to read.<br />
People who live near them tell us they’re<br />
busy with people borrowing books.”<br />

Holiday Help available in Hamilton Township<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Seventeen years ago, a community partnership in<br />
Hamilton Township stepped up to help out needy families<br />
and, while the group itself dissolved a few years later, four<br />
core members keep the program going because need never<br />
goes away.<br />
Starting out small in 2003 while the group learned the<br />
limits on what it could do, Hamilton Local Schools Public<br />
Relations Director Vince Payne said approximately a<br />
dozen families who received clothes, gifts, and staple food<br />
items the first year.<br />
“The program began by supporting 10-12 families and<br />
grew to annually support 60-65 families, totaling nearly<br />
300 children,” said Payne. “The program was initially<br />
based at the Hoover Y Park when we had less than 30 families<br />
served. When the program grew to more than 30 families,<br />
we moved to what used to be Grace Ministries<br />
Church on Rathmell Road. While the program was based<br />
there, it grew to the 60-65 families we now support annually.”<br />
Organizations participating in the <strong>2020</strong> Holiday Help<br />
program are Hamilton Local Schools faculty and staff,<br />

Payne said there is a need in most communities for programs<br />
like Holiday Help that support families during the<br />
Vince Payne<br />
holidays and even year-round. There are a variety of reasons<br />
that the need for help arises.<br />
“adopt” an individual or family and go shopping for their<br />
items. Payne said it is up to the person or organization on<br />
“We are seeing more families needing support due to<br />
what they want to do and Holiday Help organizers are<br />
unemployment caused by the pandemic,” said Payne.<br />
always ready to work with those who want to donate their<br />
“They are trying to work their limited resources to keep<br />
time or resources.<br />
their homes, keep their heat on, and keep their families<br />
School guidance counselors identify families and reach<br />
fed. We are doing what we can, with the resources we<br />
out to offer the program’s support. Holiday Help workers<br />
have, to help as many families in our community as possible.<br />
Programs like this help take the stress off of families<br />
will distribute items to families on Dec. 17, so they have<br />
time to prepare for the holiday.<br />
who may be trying to decide between paying bills or providing<br />
their children something for the holiday. Programs<br />
“We can always use support through adoption or donation,<br />
and we want to give thanks to all those who make<br />
like this bring communities together to lift up those who<br />
this program possible each year,” said Payne.<br />
need a boost. Programs like this can provide hope to those<br />

CW’s anti-racism law delayed<br />

Staff Writer<br />
Canal Winchester City Council’s plans to adopt a<br />
resolution condemning racism in the city was put on<br />
hold following last-minute information and questions<br />
during its Nov. 16 work session.<br />
“This is an opportunity to take this a step closer,”<br />
said Councilman Pat Lynch, who suggested getting<br />
together with the community and setting a date where<br />
everyone can meet together.<br />
Council members expressed a desire to present a<br />
single uniformed resolution and want to find common<br />
ground on which the whole group can agree.<br />
Councilman Mike Coolman said he would still like to<br />
hear information from Franklin County.<br />
“Franklin County manages a lot larger turf with a<br />
lot more people,” Coolman said. “I would like one uniform<br />
piece of legislation to move forward.”<br />
Council President Mike Walker said COVID-19 and<br />
waiting for Franklin County (for a workable arrangement<br />
to meet with council) are a big part of the wait to<br />
pass a resolution.<br />
“It’s important to get this correct and right,” Walker<br />
said.<br />
Councilwoman Jill Amos, who collaborated with<br />
Councilman Chuck Milliken on the resolution, said<br />
council needs to set a deadline for action. She felt the<br />
community is losing faith in the council.<br />
“I think we need to keep a solid promise to our community,”<br />
said Amos.<br />
Councilman Will Bennett said it was in the best<br />
interest of council to present one item, but cautioned<br />
“School Help” at library<br />
The Columbus Metropolitan Library - <strong>South</strong> High<br />
Branch has a new School Help webpage, where K-12<br />
students can get help with homework and reading The<br />
webpage features: Online K-12 homework help, with<br />
staff ready to answer homework questions and help<br />
with reading practice via text, chat, and phone<br />
Monday through Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Video tutorials<br />
with step-by-step instructions on how to use key homework<br />
tools. HelpNow, a resource that offers 24-hour<br />
they were not “ready to run” yet. He advised council to<br />
set its sights and make it achievable.<br />
“This is something that will not be done with one<br />
ordinance,” said Bennett. “People need to know this is<br />
our first step.”<br />
Milliken, Amos and Lynch planned to meet before<br />
the next council meeting and discuss the resolution<br />
before presenting suggested language to the full council.<br />
Water and sewer fees<br />
Council approved a pair of ordinances setting water<br />
and sanitary sewer use fees until 2022. The domestic<br />
water and sprinkler rates per 1,000 gallons are currently<br />
$6.33 and will not rise for more than a year for users outside<br />
the special water allocation district.<br />
The bulk water rate charge per 1,000 gallons<br />
remains steady through the beginning of 2022 at $8.90.<br />
The sanitary sewer user fee charge is $5.88. With the<br />
approval of the ordinance and forgoing a scheduled fee<br />
increase in 2021, the rate will not change until Jan. 1,<br />
2022. Both utility funds exceeded anticipated fund performances<br />
over the past two years, which reduced the<br />
need for a scheduled increase.<br />
Leaf pick-up<br />
The city of Canal Winchester will provide curbside<br />
leaf collection through Dec. 11. To avoid water backup<br />
in the event of rain, leaf piles must be placed behind<br />
the curb along the street. Leaf piles may contain leaves<br />
only, as sticks, grass trimmings and other yard waste<br />
can cause damage to leaf collection equipment. Regular<br />
yard waste will continue to be picked up by Rumpke of<br />
Ohio during scheduled trash collection.<br />
access to study tools and test preparation, plus online<br />
tutors available every day from 2-11 p.m.<br />

Metro Parks’ prairies rise from the ashes<br />
Controlled<br />
fires help to<br />
enrich the<br />
land<br />
By Rick Palsgrove<br />
Managing Editor<br />
Winter’s cold is coming,<br />
but some Metro Parks are in<br />
for a hot time.<br />
Prairie areas in a few of<br />
the area Metro Parks will<br />
undergo what is described as<br />
a “prescribed burn,” where<br />
controlled fires are set to<br />
“inhibit invasive species and<br />
boost new growth of native<br />
plants in prairies, grasslands,<br />
and oak woods,” according to<br />
Metro Parks Assistant<br />
Resource Manager Carrie<br />
Morrow.<br />
Metro Parks Public<br />
Information Manager Peg<br />
Hanley said two such burns recently took place at<br />
Pickerington Ponds and Battelle Darby Creek. She said<br />
Prairie Oaks had a prescribed burn earlier this year, but,<br />
locally, Three Creeks, Slate Run, and Walnut Woods will<br />
not have a prairie burn this year.<br />
“We burn in the spring and fall in the dormant seasons<br />
- spring before plants and grasses have grown and fall<br />
A worker sets a controlled prairie burn in one of the Metro Parks.<br />
after the frost has killed the plants above ground,” said<br />
Hanley. “Prairies recover quickly. After an early spring<br />
burn, it will green up almost immediately. Nature is<br />
resilient.”<br />
Hanley said the burns are conducted by members of the<br />
burn team, which is made up of park technicians and staff<br />
from the resource management team.<br />
According to information provided by Metro Parks, the<br />
prescribed burns:<br />
•Maintain the health of existing<br />
natural areas, restore nutrients, habitat<br />
restoration, control invasive plants<br />
and shrubs, and encourage new<br />
growth of native vegetation.<br />
•Are better than mowing because<br />
they are a natural management tool<br />
used throughout history and are a<br />
force much like wind or water that<br />
imitates nature. Native Americans<br />
and pioneers in the past set controlled<br />
prairie fires to help the land. Also,<br />
prairie habitats developed over centuries<br />
where natural fires played a<br />
role in maintaining areas for a diversity<br />
of species.<br />
In an online blog written for Metro<br />
Parks, Morrow stated the prescribed<br />
burns are performed on a rotating<br />
basis in selected parks every two to<br />
five years. The burned areas promote<br />
new growth and germinating seeds, as<br />
well as eliminate young trees, shrubs,<br />
and other invasive plant species. The<br />
fires allow prairie wildflowers and<br />
grasses to rejuvenate and spread.<br />
When asked how the prescribed<br />
prairie burns affect the wildlife in the<br />
burn areas, Hanley said, “To protect<br />
wildlife, our staff conducts a walk<br />
through of the site before burning which causes some animals<br />
to exit the area. We begin slow and light the main<br />
head fire last. Birds simply fly off. Deer and other mammals<br />
can scurry and bound away quickly and mice and<br />
voles can burrow in the ground.”<br />

CW bed tax grant program<br />
news briefs<br />
The city of Canal Winchester is now accepting<br />
applications for its 2021 Transient Occupancy Tax<br />

to Destination: Canal Winchester, the designated<br />
visitors and convention bureau for Canal<br />
Winchester. The second half of the tax has been designated<br />
by Canal Winchester City Council to fund the<br />
annual Bed Tax Grant Program.<br />

First railroad trip, 1868<br />
There’s something about railroad tracks<br />
and trains that seem intertwined with being<br />
an American.<br />
Maybe it’s the wanderlust in us that gets<br />
heightened when we see the sunlight shining<br />
on those steel rails extending off into the<br />
horizon. Maybe it’s the power and strength of<br />
a railroad’s industrial nature that speaks to<br />
us. Maybe it’s how trains are chronicled and<br />
romanticized in songs, stories, and photos<br />
that reaches something deep within us. That<br />
urge to, “light out for the territory,” as Mark<br />
Twain wrote, is strong in us.<br />
Local historian David Meyer, recently<br />
shared an interesting old newspaper clipping<br />
with me about the history of the railroad in<br />
southeastern Franklin County.<br />
“I thought you might enjoy reading about<br />
the Hocking Valley Railroad in 1868,” Meyer<br />
wrote to me in an email where he had<br />
attached a digital version of the news clipping<br />
from the Ohio State Journal dated July<br />
17, 1868.<br />
The article reported on riding along on the<br />
first trip on the Columbus and Hocking<br />
Valley Railroad, which at that point ran from<br />
Columbus to Canal Winchester.<br />
This rail line opened from Columbus<br />
through Groveport and Canal Winchester in<br />
the summer of 1868 and, when completed a<br />
few months later, ran further southeast to<br />
Lancaster and Nelsonville. The railroad<br />
proved to be a boon to Canal Winchester and<br />
Groveport because it provided both towns<br />
with a faster way of shipping farm goods and<br />
freight as well as offering swifter passenger<br />
service than the Ohio and Erie Canal. The<br />
steel rails’ efficiency eventually drove the<br />
canal out of favor and business.<br />
But, back to the Ohio State Journal article<br />
of 1868. Besides the news reporter, the others<br />
on this trip were: M. M. Greene, Hocking<br />
Valley Railroad President; B. E. Smith,<br />
President of the C, C. & I. C. Railway; Col.<br />
Manypenny, one of the lessees of the Ohio<br />
Canals; Barker Brooks, Theodore Comstock,<br />
John Graham, John J. Janney, and Major W.<br />
C. Faxon.<br />
The article begins: “Bless me, this is pleasant,<br />
riding on a rail! Yesterday a very pleasant<br />
little party of gentlemen had the satisfaction<br />
of making a trial trip as far as the track<br />
is laid. The rails are down to within sight of<br />
Canal Winchester, near 14 miles. The road is<br />
not ballasted, but is as smooth as most of the<br />
older roads that are. The grade is almost<br />
nothing. The heaviest grade on the whole<br />
road through to Athens is a short piece of<br />
road this side of Big Belly, or Walnut Creek.<br />
It is only 26 feet to the mile, and is almost<br />
imperceptible.”<br />
The Ohio State Journal reporter noted the<br />
most difficult task in the laying of the rails<br />
was “the filling of a peat bog just beyond Big<br />
Belly,” as he noted the earthwork often sank<br />
until it finally reached a solid point.<br />
“A bridge for the stream at Canal<br />
Winchester is already framed, at the yards in<br />
www.columbusmessenger.com<br />
Editor’s Notebook<br />
this city, and will be<br />
ready for erection by<br />
the time the track is<br />
laid to the point where<br />
it is needed,” according<br />
to the 1868 article.<br />
“The work is going<br />
ahead rapidly, and by<br />
the first of September<br />
the cars will be running<br />
through to<br />
Lancaster. The president<br />
says no passenger<br />
car shall be run on the<br />
road until after it is ballasted.”<br />
Rick<br />
Palsgrove<br />
The reporter wrote that “an immense<br />
amount of freight is waiting shipment over<br />
the road.” It included “three-quarters of a<br />
million bushels of grain at Groveport, and<br />
other points up to Winchester. In addition to<br />
this, there are quantities of livestock. The<br />
shippers are very urgent for cars to be furnished<br />
immediately. The work on the road is<br />
being done swiftly and economically, under<br />
the consummate management of Mr. Greene,<br />
backed by the energetic contractors, Dodge,<br />
Case & Co. It will pierce the coal region the<br />
coming fall.”<br />

RAILROAD<br />
Continued from page 4<br />
The reporter stated the trip on the new<br />
railroad from Columbus to Groveport was<br />
comfortable and took 30 minutes.<br />
Some ceremonial aspects of the trip<br />
proved to be entertaining to bystanders and<br />
railroad workmen: “...each gentleman of the<br />
party had been required to drive a spike,<br />
with the most unapproachable awkwardness,<br />
to the intense amusement of the workmen...”<br />
The article provides perspective on the<br />
importance of this new railroad from<br />
Columbus to southeast Ohio, stating it<br />
opened up an area untouched by “modern<br />
enterprise almost, by lack of facilities for<br />
transportation. It is a region rich beyond<br />
comparison in agricultural and mineral<br />
wealth, and it is of incalculable importance to<br />
Columbus that her businessmen lay hold of<br />
the cords the two slender bars of iron which<br />
are to bind all this region in community of<br />
interest with Columbus. It requires only<br />
energy and enterprise, judiciously applied,<br />
and Columbus may take her place among the<br />
richest inland cities of the continent.”<br />
This railroad route still serves trains that<br />
pass through Groveport and Canal<br />
Winchester. These tracks are a functional<br />
link to the past.<br />
Though no more passenger trains stop in<br />
the area and the freight trains that chug<br />
through are fewer than during this railroad’s<br />
heyday, I think the folks who took that first<br />
train ride on this railroad line in 1868 would<br />
The Groveport train depot as it looked in<br />
the mid-20th century. The depot was torn<br />
down in the 1960s. Canal Winchester’s<br />
“Queen of the Line” depot still stands<br />
along the tracks near North High Street.<br />
(Photo courtesy of the Groveport<br />
Heritage Museum).<br />
be pleased to see the tracks and trains continue<br />
in the 21st century to do the job they<br />
were meant to do.<br />

detailed and comprehensive history of the<br />
Hocking Valley Railway, I highly recommend the<br />

information and photos and is a great read.)<br />

Hamilton Schools graduate carving out his future<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Bryce Seidle graduated from Hamilton<br />
Township High School this year, but that<br />
does not mean his education has stopped.<br />
The 18-year-old plans on a future as a<br />
firefighter and is using his skills in woodworking<br />
to get through the next phase in<br />
his career path–training to become a firefighter<br />
through coursework at Tolles<br />
Career and Technical Center in Plain City.<br />
“I have always had a passion to help<br />
people and I’ve been interested in the medical<br />
field,” said Seidle, who started his<br />
training in August, “and the fire service<br />
allows me to do both of those things. I am<br />
obtaining my fire card (a firefighter certificate<br />
awarded after passing a state test and<br />
technical school) through Tolles. It is an<br />
18-week course that certifies you in<br />
Firefighter 1 and 2.”<br />
Once he finishes his firefighter training,<br />
Seidle plans trying out for the Columbus<br />
Fire Department or joining the Hamilton<br />
Township or Jackson Township fire departments.<br />
During his junior year in high school,<br />
Seidle took an advanced health class,<br />
which sparked his interest in the medical<br />
field. In his senior year, he took a EMT<br />
class through Grant Medical Center. The<br />
high school sponsored and was able to get a<br />
grant for five students to go through the<br />
program.<br />
According to Seidle, the training<br />
involved Firefighter 1 and 2 coursework,<br />
which consisted of advanced fire suppression,<br />
vehicle extrication, forcible entry, fire<br />
and life safety initiatives.<br />
“The most difficult part was all the book<br />
work that is involved,” said Seidle.<br />
The Tolles training costs $2,800, but<br />
with gear rental, the aspiring firefighter<br />
said the cost bumps up to $3,500. To cover<br />
costs, Seidle is tapping into his talent in<br />
turning a piece of wood into something<br />
functional.<br />
“I was doing woodworking as a hobby<br />
and when I lost my job, I started to woodwork<br />
more,” said Seidle. “It allows me to<br />
make my own schedule, as school takes up<br />
a lot of time, and I am able to make my<br />
schedule around my school and studying. I<br />
always liked to make stuff and this has let<br />
me become more skilled in the craft. I took<br />
a shop class in high school that gave me the<br />
basics and I expanded on that to more challenging<br />
work.”<br />
Seidle’s repertoire includes creating flag<br />
patterns in the shape of any state, tables,<br />
and cabinets. For information about his<br />
woodworking, contact Seidle on Facebook<br />

LIBRARIES<br />
Continued from page 1<br />
The free-standing structures are located<br />
at: Lockbourne United Methodist Church,<br />
1270 Vause St.; Hamilton Meadows on<br />
Middle School Street; at the corner of<br />
Service Drive and Edgeview Road; in<br />
<strong>South</strong>pointe Village by the rental office at<br />
3940 <strong>South</strong>pointe Boulevard.; the K&M<br />
Market, 4305 Lancaster Avenue in Obetz;<br />
Reese Chapel, 4747 Ridge St.; and<br />
Hamilton Lakes North, 4267 Sestos Drive.<br />
Future Little Libraries are planned for<br />
Dexter Village, <strong>South</strong>ern Pines, and two in<br />
the village of Obetz.<br />
“The idea is to ‘take a book, leave a<br />
book,’ but we never want to discourage a<br />
child who does not have a book to leave<br />
without taking one,” said Schutte. “If a<br />
child falls in love with a book from the little<br />
library, they may keep it. This is all about<br />
encouraging the love of books and reading.”<br />
According to Schutte, organizers want<br />
the structures to be easily accessible.<br />
However, younger children may need some<br />
assistance opening the doors and reaching<br />
books. The initial intent was to offer books<br />
for children in preschool through sixth<br />
grade, but people have also left novels<br />
geared for older audiences as well.<br />
As long as adult items do not take up too<br />
much room, Schutte leaves them on the<br />
library shelves for older borrowers.<br />
“If the library is full, I suggest checking<br />
back at another time or feel free to take a<br />
few items out to read,” she said.<br />
Schutte and volunteers–such as second<br />
grade teacher Bethany Moore, the<br />
Callahan family and Girl Scout troop 6091,<br />
and the Corney family and Boy Scout troop<br />
526–monitor the libraries at least once a<br />
week to check on book stock and condition<br />
of the structures, including a supply of<br />
hand sanitizer to keep both contents and<br />
borrowers safe.<br />
“We have had no problems with people<br />
leaving anything inappropriate,” said<br />
Schutte.<br />
A temporary Blessing Box by the<br />
Service/Edgeview Road site started when<br />
COVID-19 first hit and contained canned<br />
and boxed goods, but it became a nuisance,<br />
so it was removed.<br />
“It was a nice thought at the time.<br />
There is actually a Blessing Box beside the<br />
one at the Lockbourne United Methodist<br />
Church and it has not become a problem,”<br />
said Schutte.<br />
She acknowledges that, while people<br />
believe everyone has access to libraries and<br />
technology, the pandemic brought to light<br />
this is not necessarily the case.<br />
“We do not have a public library in our<br />
school district, some children do not have<br />
devices to read online, and some children<br />
do not have transportation to go to a public<br />
library, so I believe these Little Libraries<br />
can give children the opportunity to continue<br />
to read and grow,” said Schutte. “It can<br />
be something they look forward to visiting.”<br />

Take good care of your Christmas tree<br />
Madison Township’s<br />
Santa Parade<br />
Working within COVID-19 restrictions,<br />
Madison Township officials still plan to<br />
hold a modified Santa Parade on Dec. 13<br />
from 1-3 p.m. on the grounds of the<br />
Groveport Madison Middle School North<br />
complex.<br />
“We’re still working on the details,” said<br />
Madison Township Administrator Susan<br />
Brobst. “Residents will arrive at Middle<br />
School North and drive around the parking<br />
lot. We’ll have vendors handing out items<br />
to the youth and then they’ll drive out.”<br />
The township hopes to share more information<br />
closer to the actual event. Vendors<br />
interested in participating in the parade<br />
should contact Brobst at sbrobst@madisontownship.org<br />
or Chief Robinson at drobinson@madisontownship.org.<br />
Christmas trees are an iconic symbol of the holiday season.<br />
Whether they are personal trees nestled in the corner of a living<br />
room for families to enjoy or towering evergreens serving as the<br />
focal point of a town square, Christmas trees are a wonder to<br />
behold.<br />
Many people have fond memories of time spent around the<br />
Christmas tree sharing gifts and family traditions.<br />
Live trees and their pine-like aroma can be especially nostalgic<br />
trees to include in holiday plans.<br />
The National Christmas Tree Association says that approximately<br />
25 to 30 million real Christmas trees are sold in the United<br />
States every year. North American trees hail from all 50 states<br />
and areas of Canada.<br />
While freshly cut trees can be particularly beautiful and aromatic<br />
additions to the season, they require a bit more work than<br />
artificial trees in order to remain beautiful and thrive throughout<br />
the holiday season.<br />
Maintenance can help keep Christmas trees as perfect as possible.<br />
• Even though it is tempting to buy a real tree as early as possible,<br />
their shelf life is limited even with the best care. Dural<br />
Christmas Tree Farm advises that, under the best conditions, a<br />
real tree should last up to four weeks before drying out.<br />
• Consider the needles when looking for a real tree. Pull your<br />
hand toward your body along the branches. If many needles fall<br />
off, the tree is past its peak.<br />
• Think about the room in which the tree will be located. Leave<br />
at least six inches between the tip of the tree and the ceiling,<br />
accounting for the height of the tree stand as well.<br />
• If needle retention is a goal, the Scotch pine variety has the<br />
best needle retention and a high survival rate, lending to its popularity,<br />
offers Precision Tree and Landscape. Douglas fir and balsam<br />
fir are other durable trees.<br />
• If possible, buy a freshly cut tree from a reputable nursery or<br />
tree farm, advises The Old Farmer’s Almanac.<br />
Many pre-cut trees sold elsewhere were likely cut weeks before<br />
and may not be fresh.<br />
• Cut the bottom of the tree trunk before bringing it home to<br />
facilitate the uptake of fresh water daily. Trees can absorb as<br />
much as a gallon of water in a day, so make sure the tree gets fresh<br />
water every day.<br />
• Keep trees away from as many heat sources as possible and<br />
away from direct sunlight to prolong longevity.<br />
• According to Karabin Farms in Connecticut, to make a<br />
Christmas tree last longer, boil a gallon of water and then dissolve<br />
one cup of sugar in the water.<br />
Allow to cool. After freshly cutting the trunk, pour in the warm<br />
sugar water.<br />
Continue to add fresh, cool, plain water to the tree stand afterward.
PAGE 8 - MESSENGER - <strong>November</strong> 22, <strong>2020</strong><br />
A film that features a body switch is all<br />
about the transformation process.<br />
After the initial magic is activated to<br />
transport one’s soul and personality into<br />
another individual, the rest is all about<br />
those people realizing stuff and things<br />
about themselves and trying to change for<br />
the betterment — for the most part. The latest<br />
film to explore this premise does not<br />
veer far from that well-trodden path, but it<br />
does shake up the routine by including an<br />
extremely high body count.<br />
Shown only in theaters at this time,<br />
“Freaky” is equal parts body switch horror,<br />
a love letter to the 1980s slasher, and a<br />
message about finding hidden strength<br />
through life’s challenges. While taken at<br />
face value, these themes appear to be at<br />
odds with each other, but they all come<br />
together to create one of the most bizarrely<br />
entertaining films of the year.<br />
The main protagonist of the movie is<br />
Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton), a shy<br />
and sensitive teenager who is still coming<br />
to terms with the death of her father the<br />
year prior. With her conservative dress and<br />
meek manner, it makes her a target for the<br />
popular crowd at school, but she is not<br />
without a small and loyal group of friends<br />
entertainment<br />
www.columbusmessenger.com<br />
“Freaky” is oddly heartwarming in a weird kind of way<br />
and fellow outcasts.<br />
Upon suffering a public embarrassment<br />
at the hands, or drinking cups, of a few<br />
football players at a homecoming game,<br />
Millie’s day only gets worse as her mother<br />
forgets to pick her up after the festivities.<br />
Wearing half of her beaver mascot (she<br />
tells her friends extracurriculars look good<br />
on transcripts), she spots a masked man<br />
standing underneath the dim lights of the<br />
parking lot. Suitably freaked out by this<br />
strange encounter, it dawns on her that<br />
this is not a mere masked man trying to<br />
scare her, it is the urban legend serial<br />
killer known as the Blissfield Butcher<br />
(played by Vince Vaughn).<br />
After a slightly tense but hilarious<br />
chase throughout the bleachers and football<br />
field (she is still wearing half of that<br />
beaver costume), she is caught by the<br />
Butcher who appears to be wielding some<br />
ancient dagger. As he goes in for the kill,<br />
he is distracted by the appearance of her<br />
police officer sister but manages to get a<br />
good puncture to the shoulder.<br />
Inexplicably, as her shoulder starts to<br />
bleed, so does his and thus begins the magical<br />
transformation process.<br />
When Millie wakes up the following<br />
The Reel Deal<br />
morning, she is in the<br />
lumbering body of the<br />
man whose body count<br />
is triple that of her age.<br />
Realizing that if she is<br />
in his body, then he is<br />
in hers, she sets off to<br />
confront herself<br />
before more harm can<br />
be done.<br />
Unfortunately for<br />
her, however, the<br />
Butcher is starting to<br />
Dedra<br />
Cordle<br />
realize he likes inhabiting this body. He<br />
enjoys that Millie appears too weak to<br />
speak up for herself and uses that to his<br />
advantage. This new look Millie, now<br />
sporting a fierce red leather jacket and<br />
tight ponytail, is free of the constraints of<br />
her former and meeker self.<br />
Knowing something is not quite right<br />
with their friend Millie, Nyla and Josh<br />
(Celeste O’Connor and Misha Osherovich,<br />
respectively) try to hash out what has happened<br />
to their sweet pal and, while doing<br />
so, come face to face with the Butcher. At<br />
first, they are disbelieving that a magical<br />
body switch happened but when all signs<br />
point to the mythical, they are determined<br />
to do whatever is illegal and necessary to<br />
help their friend before the switch becomes<br />
permanent.<br />
Charm and good acting do not often go<br />
hand-in-hand with traditional horror films,<br />
but “Freaky” has both thanks to its cast<br />
members and its message about a person<br />
being so much more than their exterior.<br />
The latter doesn’t beat the audience over<br />
the head with the message — the film much<br />
prefers to beat the heads of others in with<br />
various tools — but at its core it is a story<br />
about a girl who lacks confidence finding<br />
her voice when it is taken away from her. It<br />
is oddly heartwarming, in a nice bloodbath<br />
kind of way.<br />
“Freaky” is only playing in theaters at<br />
this time, but it is slated to come to video<br />
on demand in December. If you’re a fan of<br />
slashers and slasher comedies, I highly recommend<br />
watching this bizarrely sweet and<br />
gory film when you get the chance.<br />
