PAGE 6 - MESSENGER - March 7, 2021 www.columbusmessenger.com Our Pictorial Past by Rick Palsgrove Maple sugar time Messenger file photo Late February and early March is maple sugaring time at Metro Parks’ Slate Run Living Historical Farm, located near Canal Winchester. On Feb. 24, farm workers took a small group on a hike to the sugar maple trees or sugar bush where they learned how to identify and tap trees, and process the sap into syrup. Weather conditions of freezing temperatures at night and sunny days of around 40 degrees are needed for the sap to run in the trees so it can be collected in buckets that hang from the tap that is placed in the tree. The trees are tapped and the sap is slowly collected drip by drip in buckets. The sap is then placed in a tank and boiled to remove the water in the sap to get the maple sugar to make maple syrup. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup. Pictured here at a maple sugaring event from a past year is Dave Trotter, of Metro Parks’ Slate Run Living Historical Farm, as he drills a hole in a maple tree to tap it to access its maple sap so it can be collected and made into maple syrup.

Downtown CW CW PEOPLES Continued from page 1 As a member of TAC, Peoples is also a member of the MORPC Attributable Funds Committee, which provides advice on the development and execution of the processes used to allocate MORPC-attributable funds to transportation projects and project sponsors. “By not having a background in transportation, being a member has helped me gain a greater knowledge of the areawide transportation planning processes that helps with our planning,” said Peoples. “I have also been able to network with the other members and the 2020 Gender Road Synchronization Study ODOT grant started with a discussion I had with one of the other members. It has been a great experience and I was happy to be selected for a second Photo courtesy of the CW Area Historical Society This photo from the early 20th century is of downtown Canal Winchester looking south on North High Street. Note the street is unpaved. The crossing street in about the middle of the photo is Waterloo Street. Continued from page 1 some drivers misinterpreted the bike lane as a turn lane. “As a basis for determining the successful bid, consideration was given to the contractor who could demonstrate a permanent place of business, possession of suitable equipment to complete the work, experience, positive performance on similar projects, and the lowest bid,” said engineer Michael Brehm in his Feb. 24 recommendation. “Based on these criteria, and on a review of the qualifications information as submitted, Shelly and Sands, Inc. is the lowest qualified bidder. Shelly & Sands, Inc. appears qualified to perform the work.” McGill Park update Public Service Director Matt Peoples reported on trail work at McGill Park. “We got some really good news,” Peoples said. “The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has released the project and we are free to move forward with the bid. I hope to get good bids from that. This is for the trail connector only.” Peoples said the project includes a threequarter mile long, 10-foot-wide path and new bridge crossings at Washington Street and Ashbrook–going from the covered bridge to McGill Park. The ODNR matching grant is $450,000. “One of the largest features is a weathering steel bridge at two locations,” said Peoples, who said one bridge is 66 feet long and the other is 27 feet long. Each one is 12 feet wide and rated for service vehicles. Both are going to be very scenic in nature and the next place for senior pictures. I’m pretty excited about the project. It’s a long time in coming and really glad to get this going.” term.” Ebert said TAC is also instrumental in ODOT financial matters such as allocating MORPC federal funds and review of ODOT expenditures of federal funds and the experience Peoples gains through his participation in TAC has been beneficial to the city of Canal Winchester by furthering his planning capabilities and the knowledge he has gained as a participant in TAC. “All of our city directors have been, or are currently involved with, associations of planning and advice in their various field of expertise be it public works, finance, development or construction and more,” said Ebert. “Some of them have recently served or currently serve as the president or chair of their association affiliate.”

Ancient Romans produced government announcements and posted them in prominent locations around the city. In ancient China, news sheets were circulated among court officials to share government news. However, it wasn't until use of the printing press became widespread that the new media of newsprint became available to the general public. The 17th century was the first time much of Europe and other areas around the world began to produce something similar to what we now know as newspapers. Nowadays, many newspapers are still being printed on a daily or weekly basis, but publishers also understand the benefits of digital content. That is why newspapers are now supplementing their print copy with digital and interactive versions online. Should a person desire to read a printed version, he or she can do so. Others can access content online, which is typically updated regularly as newsworthy items become available. Newspapers have frequently been the first source people turn to for information on various subjects, including current events and sports. Even now, despite the prevalence of television news, people still look to the newspapers for in-depth coverage of hot topics. Additionally, some newspaper content is mirrored online or offered in some other complementary form. For example, fans of comics in the newspaper may not realize they're a major source of syndication revenue. In an effort to snag a bigger chunk of key demographics, comics not only are being run in the newspaper, but also are being adapted into "apps" that can be viewed on tablets, computers and smartphones to further their visibility. The Internet may be creating a dramatic shift in the business model and the products offered by newspapers, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, presenting new opportunities for newspapers to expand on their offerings in unique ways. Many papers now enable readers to express their comments about news stories online, which fosters a global discussion that can bring people from various parts of the world together. Newspapers also are shifting the mix of stories they offer to provide a stronger balance of entertainment, lifestyle and other subjects that are more relevant to people's daily lives than politics and international affairs may be. In turn, newspapers are attracting new readers both offline and online. Few can argue about the validity of newspapers for current events. Students exploring current topics and presenting them in school are frequently urged to look to newspapers for content. Editors are largely apprised of up-and-coming trends and are given first-see information before the general public, which they later share in their publications. Local newspapers truly offer the best window into what makes a community unique. When searching for local jobs, events or merchandise, newspapers and their respective Web sites remain a reliable resource for their readers. Despite the ominous forecasts projecting the demise of newspapers, many publications are still going strong and proving just how valuable a resource they can be.
