Contractor Brian Nance is breathing 

new life into a historic former schoolhouse 

and Masonic temple in Lockbourne. 

The village, which borders 

Rickenbacker International Airport, is in 

the midst of the project turning the brick 

three-story structure into a community 

and event center that reflects Lockbourne’s 

heritage and celebrates a history dating 

back to the 1800s. 

“Lockbourne Village Administrator 

Jane McJunkin told me about the project 

in 2018, but I didn’t hear anything more 

about it until toward the end of 2019 when 

they said they’re ready to go,” said Nance, 

who said he does not take the easy path 

when it comes to restoring old properties. 

Nance previously worked on the oldest 

structure in Pickaway County–a farmhouse 

mansion along U.S. Route 23, a historic 

restoration in Fairfield County, and 

the restoration of a vintage soda shop and 

pharmacy in his hometown. 

However, the schoolhouse project was 

the first time he worked as his own general 

contractor. 

“Initially, I was just going to redo the 

ceiling said Nance, “but then a can of 

worms opened up. I started working on the 

ceiling in February 2020 and it just evolved 

into a complete renovation. We (village 

officials and Nance) gained each other’s 

trust. I ended up being the full general contractor 

and had a hand in the design-build 

process, but this also is a labor of love. The 

people in this community have really 

stepped up to help, like Shelly and Sands 

who poured the steps, to save the history of 

this building.” 

Windows walled up for years were 

uncovered, old pressed-tin ceiling tiles 

were discovered and when two of the windows 

on the first floor of the building constructed 

in the late 1800s lacked frames to 

match others on the walls, Nance put his 

woodworking skills to the test in reproducing 

the 100-plus year-old frames. 

Ceilings were pulled down and risers 

from the time of the Masons–where the 

society held its ceremonies for decades– 

were ripped out and a wood floor exposed. 

Bricks and fireplaces were revealed, new 

doors installed, bathrooms upgraded, 

wainscotting put up where students once 

hung their coats at the start of the school

day and a raw edge counter installed with 

a view of the kitchen. 

“We reconfigured the big room and created 

new openings,” said Nance, who hopes 

to have the second floor done by Memorial 

Day. “These types of structures just aren’t 

being built anymore. We got to maintain 

history and this old architecture is beautiful. 

This schoolhouse was a landmark for 

its time and I credit the leaders of this community 

with having the foresight to preserve 

it.”

According to Penny Hilty, coordinator of 

Groveport Special Olympics, the State Summer 

Games 2021 had been set for June 25-27 on the 

campus of The Ohio State University, mainly at 

Jesse Owens Stadium, but other venues as well. 

“We believe, and hope, that Summer Games will 

be held in 2022 at OSU as usual,” said Hilty. “Here 

at Groveport Special Olympics we are looking 

ahead to having bowling begin in August at Wayne 

Webb Bowl on South High Street. We would also 

like to begin swimming in September at the 

Groveport Recreation Center. We remain hopeful 

that things will soon get back to a more normal 

schedule.” 

Stewart’s message noted that multiple conversations 

about the issue were held with the Board of 

Directors, Special Olympics Ohio Medical Director, 

The Ohio State University leadership, State Staff, 

athletes, and the Return to Play COVID Committee 

made up of leadership from our local organizations. 

A survey was sent to the local organizations to 

explore their feelings on Summer Games and 

Return to Play intentions for community-based 

activities. 

“These conversations were incredibly valuable 

and truly insightful,” wrote Stewart. “We truly 

thought we would be further out, leaving this pandemic 

as a memory and snapshot in history,” wrote 

Stewart. “Unfortunately, we just aren’t there yet. 

There are multiple factors at play in this decision, 

but the safety of our athletes is our utmost priority. 

Although I know the disappointment of our athletes, 

yet again, is unbearable, we simply cannot

Disappointment 

Heather Coffenberry of Obetz, whose sister participates 

as an athlete in Special Olympics, expressed disappointment 

that the Special Olympics Ohio Summer Games will 

not be held. 

“My sister is devastated,” said Coffenberry. “This is two 

years in a row it has been cancelled. Why did they decide 

to cancel the event so early this year when it was not 

scheduled to be held until June? High schools are planning 

to hold proms and graduations and other things are reopening. 

Our athletes are not being given a chance to compete. 

Some of them have already received their vaccinations.” 

Importance of Special Olympics 

Hilty said Special Olympics is important to the athletes 

and their families. 

“I am a parent of an athlete as well as the coordinator 

of the program,” said Hilty. “I think that the sense of 

belonging is very 

important to the

2400 Rohr Road project 

Groveport City Council approved 

amending the plan for a development at 

2400 Rohr Road. The original plan by 

BSTP Midwest, LLC was approved by 

council in 2019 for its lots 1, 2, and 3. 

According to Groveport City Administrator 

B.J. King, a turn lane is needed to access 

lots 1 and 3, but Pizzuti Companies now 

possesses the 20.75 acre lot 2, which by 

itself does not need a turn lane. Pizzuti is 

requested the turn lane requirement for its 

lot be removed from the plan as well as the 

allowance of water service to the property. 

Pizzuti intends to build two warehouses 

on the lot starting this spring. The two proposed 

warehouses will be on lot 2 at the 

north end of the site. One is proposed to be 

157,500 square feet the other is proposed to 

be 195,000 square feet. 

According to a Dec. 21 letter from BSTP 

Midwest, LLC in support of Pizzuti’s 

request, Pizzuti plans to develop its site 

prior to the development of lots 1 and 3 

(about 12 acres), of which BSTP Midwest, 

LLC has retained ownership. The letter 

states BSTP Midwest, LLC’s plans for its 

lots have not changed, but its development 

schedule is not yet determined. According 

to the development plan, BSTP Midwest, 

LLC plans to build a fuel center and convenience 

store on lots 1 and 3.

Active Lifestyles 

A 

Contain the joy of gardening 

Do you love the thought of growing a 

garden but doubt you have the space or 

energy to put in a big garden? 

Don’t despair. You can turn a tiny 

deck or porch into a beautiful garden with 

containers. 

There are many unique containers and 

hanging baskets available in stores. You 

can even turn objects around the house 

into creative containers. You’re limited 

only by your imagination. Old wheelbarrows, 

interesting antiques, discarded 

dishes and even an old pair of boots can 

hold potting soil and a plant. 

The trick to keeping soil inside these improvised 

containers is lining the bottom with a layer of landscape 

fabric. Most plants grown in the ground can be 

grown in containers if there is ample space for developing 

roots. 

Plants in containers are especially prone to drying 

out during hot weather. 

Crystals are available that reduce watering and fertilizing 

needs. The fertilizer-infused polymer crystals 

absorb 400 times their weight in water. When soil 

dries, plant roots pull moisture and nutrients from the 

crystals as needed. This unique delivery 

system ensures plants get a consistent 

supply of water and food. One application 

feeds plants for up to six months. 

Mix the suggested amount of crystals 

into the soil when planting. They can also 

be added to existing containers. A little 

goes a long way – one six-inch pot calls 

for one teaspoon. 

You can use containers to avoid costly 

landscaping mistakes. If there are unusual 

plants or flowers you’ve always wanted 

to grow but weren’t sure they’d grow well 

in your area, purchase one or two and try them in a 

container first. If lighting conditions aren’t ideal where 

you’ve placed your “garden,” simply pick it up and 

move it until you find a place that works. 

The versatility of containers can’t be beat? Don’t 

like the way your plants are grouped together on the 

patio? Rearrange them. Need an attractive backdrop 

for a family snapshot? Grab those container gardens 

and put them to work. 

It will be hard for you to contain your joy when you 

see how practical and easy container gardening can be.

Introducing Director Orvell Johns 

Orvell Johns, the director for the Franklin County Office on 

Aging or FCOA, took his role in early June of 2020 and since then 

has continued to vigorously advocate for the work his office does 

everyday for the lives of older adults and their caregivers in 

Central Ohio. 

Director Johns has an extensive professional background 

including previous work as the Director for the Franklin County 

Court of Common Pleas, Domestic Relations and Juvenile Branch, 

the Director of the Center for Public Investment Management at 

the State Treasurer’s office, and Assistant Deputy Director with 

the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, Equal 

Opportunity Division. 

The goal of the Office on Aging has always been to serve the 

older adult population, so that they can maintain their independence 

and age in place. Since his hire, Director Johns has strived to 

maintain and improve the programs and services that are available, 

while creating additional avenues for service and program 

growth. One of the newest installations Director Johns would like 

to initiate this year is a Director’s column centered around the 

public asking him agency related questions. The column, Ask 

Director Orvell Johns, will begin in May and will provide answers 

to some of your questions about issues relating to older adults. 

This new initiative creates more transparency and allows for 

the community to create deeper connections with our agency. If 

you would like to send in a question, please do so by sending an 

email to FCOA.Director@franklincountyohio.gov. We are looking 

forward to the community getting to know us better. 

Even rocket scientists 

ask for help!

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

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

CAREGIVER RELIEF 

According to a 2020 report by the National Alliance for Caregiving 

and AARP, the number of caregivers providing unpaid care has 

increased by almost 10 million in the last five years. In the past year, 

however, caregiving has proven to be harder amid the global 

COVID-19 pandemic. About 21 percent of family caregivers report 

their own health to be fair to poor. Prior to the pandemic, caregivers 

struggled with both economic and emotional stress, although now, 

with workplace closures, a decrease in social interactions, and 

heightened health concerns, their stressors have increased dramatically. 

In December 2020, Ohio reported over 114,000 older adults to have 

contracted COVID-19. Studies have also shown that a large portion 

of Ohio’s cases have come from the Franklin County area. While the 

country is working on providing COVID-19 vaccinations to the 

public, it will be several months before everyone who wants a vaccine 

will receive one. Knowing this information, caregivers have 

had to make the difficult decision to put their caregiving duties 

ahead of their own personal health to ensure that their loved ones 

have proper and safe care provided to them. However, there are safe 

options available to give these Ohio caregivers a break. 

The Franklin County Office on Aging (FCOA) collaborates with the 

Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging (COAAA) to administer the 

Caregiver Support Program. The program supports non-paid caregivers 

of adults age 60 and older who have a demonstrated need for 

home care assistance. The caregiver can be a relative or non-relative 

over the age of 18 years old and does not have to reside with the 

older adult. The program can assist with a variety of free short-term 

services that include adult day services, caregiver counseling, durable 

medical equipment, health maintenance supplies, and in-home 

respite. The services are available regardless of the income or asset 

levels of the caregiver or older adult. Residents of assisted living 

facilities or homes that are already providing care for their residents 

are not eligible to receive the services offered through the Caregiver 

Support Program. 

FCOA is putting safety at the forefront of everything they do. 

During this pandemic, extensive safety measures have been added to 

ensure that clients and community members remain safe as they 

access and participate in programs and services, such as the Caregiver 

Support Program. Caregiver relief, or respite care, is performed 

by a trained individual who participates in continuous education 

such as health and wellness, LGBTQ education, cultural diversity 

training, and more, so they can assist in the care of the older adult. 

Care can still be administered at the older adult’s home, and 

essential caregiving services such as help with bathing or getting 

around the house are still performed. For everyone’s protection, the 

relief worker is required to wear either a mask or a face shield for the 

entire duration of their time spent with the older adult. The relief 

worker should also be performing daily health checks, such as 

taking their temperatures, to ensure that they do not have any 

symptoms of COVID-19. If a worker does feel ill, they will not be 

going to a client’s home to administer caregiver relief. Additionally, 

these workers adhere to the guidelines set out by the Center for 

Disease Control, or CDC, and the Franklin County Public Health 

office. As changes are made through these organizations, the FCOA 

service providers for caregiver relief adapt to the new guidelines to 

provide the best and safest care possible. 

To enroll in the Caregiver Support Program and/or to learn more 

about FCOA’s additional older adult services, please call Senior 

Options at (614) 525-6200 Monday thru Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 

4:30 p.m.



Back to every day school for Hamilton students 

School return set for 

March 22 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Hamilton Local Schools is re-opening 

schools to all-day, every day instruction 

beginning March 22, which is the beginning 

of the final quarter of the 2020-21 

school year and just a week before spring 

break. 

Students will need to mask up, follow all 

safety protocols and maintain a three-foot 

distance from each other as much as possible. 

The only exception is in the cafeteria 

where social distancing is still six feet 

because masks are removed on a regular 

basis.Students riding the bus are required 

to wear a mask, with the exception of preschool 

children. 

All buses will be wiped down between 

each route, fogged after all morning and 

afternoon routes are complete and parents 

are encouraged to transport their child to 

school whenever possible. 

According to district officials, and to the 

greatest extent possible, students will be 

spaced at least three feet apart. 

Frequent handwashing and sanitizing 

are encouraged throughout the day and 

extensive cleaning will take place after 

each school day. 

The district is examining the use of 

large areas, such as gyms and outdoor 

spaces, to increase seating options for 

lunch and will continue case investigation 

and contract tracing of every student and 

staff case. 

“Why not wait until next year?” asked 

Superintendent Mark Tyler during a 

March 9 video message to the Hamilton 

community. “Obviously, we have the ability 

to modify quarantine, but this gives us 

back 22 days of in-person instruction, 

which is significant.” 

Tyler said administrators and staff will 

have an opportunity to view the plan in 

action for a solid week, recess for spring 

break and have the option to make adjustments 

if there any issues that need to be 

addressed before returning to the classroom. 

“Spring break feels like the last significant 

hurdle,” said Tyler. “It is an opportunity 

for congregate settings and an opportunity 

to spread the virus.” 

In looking at the numbers, Tyler said 

approximately 75 percent of students will 

be in buildings during the every day model, 

but school capacity is able to tolerate a 

much higher percentage. 

“With 75 percent, we can maintain three 

feet in our classrooms,” said Tyler. “Lunch 

was the other big question. You take your 

mask off when you eat so you have to be at 

six feet. That was a little bit of a challenge 

for us. We got creative with some spacing. 

We’re using gymnasiums and others, but 

we’re going to be able to spread out six 

feet.” 

Tyler lauded the Hamilton community 

for its action and response during the 

COVID-19 outbreak and he is asking for 

everyone to continue those practices 

because the pandemic is not yet over. 

“There’s still a lot of work to be done and 

we’re going to have to be very vigilant,” 

said Tyler, who said he has the option to 

return to the hybrid model if the situation 

gets worse. “The goal obviously is to stay in 

the everyday model for the remainder of 

the school year and we need your help to do 

that.”

Practicing life saving 

Hamilton Township firefighters participated in a search and 

rescue three-day training exercise on March 11 at a house 

owned by Obetz that was once part of cemetery operations. 

The firefighters practiced rescuing models of an adult and a 

child from the smoke-filled structure. Fire Chief Martin Hafey 

said it is not often that firefighters can use an acquired structure 

for training and the department takes full advantage of 

the situation whenever possible. “The whole idea is to do as 

much as we can to train so it becomes muscle memory,” said 

Hafey. “When we got the call from the village, I had our training 

officer (Rafe Britton) look at it.” Crews rotated in and out 

of the building in addition to briefings at a fire station before 

the multi-day exercise.
