Buckstone 

progressing 

By Katelyn Sattler 

Staff Writer 

Obetz City Council passed the first of 

several pieces of legislation that make up 

the Buckstone development. 

On March 28, council approved creating 

a New Community Authority and New 

Community District under Chapter 349 of 

the Ohio Revised Code. 

The Buckstone is a mixed use development 

that will occupy about 800 acres at 

the corner of Lockbourne and Rathmell 

roads. 

“This is all the things, the parts and 

pieces, of the Buckstone development and 

it’s the layered economic incentive packages 

that get us to the end game,” said 

Obetz City Administrator Rod Davisson. 

“So, as a recap for everybody, it’s abating 

the taxes, replacing those with PILOT payments 

(payments in lieu of taxes), plus a 5- 

mill charge, and then creating Tax 

Increment Financing to cover the back end 

of that thing. So what it does essentially is 

redirect that tax money for a certain period 

of time to the city for a purpose of making 

infrastructure improvements, but allows 

for allowances for the schools at different 

pieces of it. And we’re working with the 

township to figure out these pieces, as 

well.”

Protect yourself from title theft and fraud 

Franklin County Auditor Michael 

Stinziano launched a new Property eAlert 

system that helps protect homeowners 

from title theft and fraud. 

The auditor’s Property eAlerts notification 

system is a free service that allows 

property owners to sign up to receive an 

email alert whenever a change is made to 

the owner name, address, or appraised 

value associated with a property’s record. 

The Property eAlerts system is integrated 

into the office’s real estate record database 

and provides registered homeowners with 

immediate notification of a change in their 

property’s ownership or value. 

“The Property eAlerts system is a simple 

way to protect homeowners and give 

them peace of mind about the security of 

one of their most valuable assets,” 

Stinziano said. 

The new system addresses concerns 

about the security of property deeds and 

the threat that a home’s title could be 

stolen by a fraudulent actor who files a 

counterfeit deed and transfers the home 

out of their ownership. 

In addition to the new eAlerts system, 

all property transfers are processed by the 

auditor’s office and require notarization as 

a safeguard against fraud. Anyone who 

suspects they are a victim of fraud can call 

the auditor’s office fraud hotline at 614- 

525-7226.

ODNR estimates 806 bald eagle nests in Ohio 

The most recent bald eagle census from 

the Ohio Department of Natural Resources 

Division of Wildlife estimates 806 nests in 

Ohio. 

This is an estimated increase of 14 percent 

from the 707 bald eagle nests documented 

in Ohio from the 2020 citizen science 

survey coordinated by the Division of 

Wildlife. 

Bald eagle nesting success was at an 

estimated rate of 82 percent in the spring 

of 2021, and the number of young per nest 

was 1.6, well above the number of 1 per 

nest needed to sustain the population. 

These productivity rates are similar to previous 

years. The 2022 estimate will be 

released following the nesting season. 

The Division of Wildlife’s bald eagle 

nesting survey consisted of flying five 

blocks, each roughly 10 square miles, to 

search for eagle nests in woodlots and 

along rivers. Two of the blocks, one near 

Sandusky on Lake Erie and the other over 

Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area in northeast 

Ohio, are flown every year. The other three 

blocks are rotated every year. The 2021 

blocks were located around Killbuck 

Wildlife Area, Grand Lake St. Marys, and 

the Maumee River in Defiance and Henry 

counties. 

“Bald eagle management by the 

Division of Wildlife includes habitat conservation 

with an emphasis on wetlands 

and wooded river corridors, working with 

rehabilitators who help injured birds recover, 

and helping to enforce protective state 

and federal laws,” said Division of Wildlife 

Chief Kendra Wecker. “We are incredibly 

proud that Ohio’s bald eagle population 

continues to improve and grow.” 

Bald eagles thrive in spaces with clean 

water and fish, their preferred food. Lake 

Erie and other large waterbodies host the 

highest number of eagles because of easy 

access to food resources. All Ohioans can 

report a bald eagle nest at wildohio.gov or 

through the HuntFish OH mobile app. 

2020 nest census 

In 2020, a nest census was completed to 

locate every active bald eagle nest in Ohio. 

The results indicated Ohio had 707 active 

eagle nests in 85 counties. Most nests were 

confirmed on private property, with about 

150 on public lands. Of those, 43 nests were 

located on Division of Wildlife properties. 

More about Ohio’s bald eagles 

The bald eagle was once an endangered 

species, with only four nesting pairs in 

Ohio in 1979. 

Thanks to partnerships between the 

Division of Wildlife, Ohio zoos, wildlife 

rehabilitation facilities, concerned 

landowners, and conservationists its population 

increased. 

After much hard work and continued 

conservation, the bald eagle was removed 

from the federal list of threatened and 

endangered species in 2007, and from 

Ohio’s list in 2012. 

Bald eagles are protected under both 

state law and the federal Bald and Golden 

Eagle Protection Act, making it illegal to 

disturb bald eagles. When viewing these 

majestic birds, remember to respect the 

bird’s space and stay at least 100 yards 

away. Disturbing bald eagles at the nest 

site could lead the pair to abandon the 

eggs. 

As with many of Ohio’s native wildlife 

species, bald eagles require specific habitat 

conditions to thrive. 

Bald eagle habitat protection and 

research is funded by the sale of bald eagle 

conservation license plates, income tax 

check-off donations to the Endangered 

Species and Wildlife Diversity Fund, and 

sales of the Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp.

wildlife at wildohio.gov.

Attorney General offers funding for school threat assessment training 

An effective way of dealing with school 

violence is to stop it before it happens. 

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is 

helping law enforcement and school officials 

prepare to do that with a two-pronged 

program. 

The Attorney General’s Office offers 

funding for school districts that need to 

improve building safety, with more than $7 

million in school-safety grants still available 

to administrators who want to prepare 

for and hopefully prevent targeted violence. 

“Procrastination and complacency open 

the door to tragedy,” Yost said. “Our common 

goal is to prevent a tragedy, and to do 

that a plan is needed. But we also need to 

be prepared when something does happen, 

and we can help with that, too.” 

The Attorney General’s Ohio School 

Threat Assessment Training program for 

school resource officers, launched in 2020, 

has trained more than 2,000 Ohio peace 

officers in less than two years. 

The program teaches officers and school 

personnel how to recognize behavioral 

warning signs and act on them before they 

lead to violence. There is still $600,000 

available for school resource and DARE 

officers who wish to complete the training. 

In addition, more than 1,000 school 

buildings across the state have received the 

Ohio School Vulnerability Assessment. 

These assessments are designed to help 

administrators identify and correct weaknesses 

in building security. 

Yost urges every school district in Ohio 

to take advantage of this program. 

“Some schools have vulnerabilities that 

make them easy targets for someone bent 

on violence,” Yost said. “We need to make 

them hard targets.” 

Max Schachter, whose son Alex was 

tragically killed in 2018 during the mass 

shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas 

High School in Parkland, Florida, commended 

the Attorney General’s Office for 

its threat assessment training programs. 

“I just want to thank Ohio for doing 

this,” Schachter said. “I think this (training) 

is critical, and I wish every state took 

safety and security so seriously.” 

The trainings have been lauded by the 

U.S. departments of Education, Justice, 

Homeland Security, and Health and 

Human Services. 

AG Yost encourages all law enforcement 

officers to take the School Threat 

Assessment Training Program, which qualifies 

for the continued professional training 

that all Ohio peace officers must take in 

2022. 

School resource officers and DARE officers, 

along with their respective departments, 

can receive compensation for the 

training. 

Also, school officials who wish to take 

the training can do so free. 

Superintendents can work with their 

school resource officers and the Attorney 

General’s Office to complete vulnerability 

assessments.


Mental health assistance 

Franklin County has launched a new 

online tool to connect residents and families 

with national and local resources to 

address their mental and emotional health 

challenges. 

The 

website, 

FranklinCountyOhio.CredibleMind.com, 

allows residents to take a self-paced 

approach to learn about more than 200 different 

emotional and mental health topics 

and find mental health providers in 

Franklin County. 

“The pandemic and economic downturn 

have had a major toll on people’s mental 

and emotional well-being,” said Joy Bivens, 

deputy franklin county administrator for 

health and human services. “This platform 

allows us to meet people where they are. 

It’s judgement-free, it’s evidence-based and 

it’s easy to use — whether you’re just looking 

for some mindfulness exercises to cope 

with stress or searching for a mental 

health provider.” 

The website was funded by the board of 

commissioners and supports the work of 

the Rise Together Blueprint to Reduce 

Poverty in Franklin County by increasing 

access to mental health services. It was 

developed in collaboration with county 

health and human services agencies, 

including the Department of Job and 

Family Services (JFS), and the Alcohol, 

Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin 

County (ADAMH). 

“Additional support for well-being is 

welcomed right now. Easily accessible, 

quality support tools help to bury the stigma 

around asking for help. It is up to all of 

us to help change the perception that asking 

for help is a sign of weakness. Taking 

care of our mental health makes us 

stronger,” said Erika Clark Jones, CEO for 

ADAMH. 

The website offers more than a dozen 

different self-assessments to help visitors 

get a better idea of their mental health profile. 

After completing the assessment, visitors 

are referred to a variety of resources — 

articles, videos, podcasts and more — all tailored 

based off their results. All the 

resources are vetted by experts and all the 

assessment tools are confidential. 

The site provides direct links to 

ADAMH’s network of more than 30 local 

behavioral health providers. Residents can 

also get information about obtaining 

Medicaid, which covers mental health and 

addiction treatment, through JFS as well 

as resources from other health and human 

services agencies like Office on Aging, 

Child Support Enforcement and Justice 

Policy and Programs.

Foster a dog 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and 

Adoption Center offers individuals in 

Franklin County the opportunity to foster 

shelter dogs while they are still available 

for direct adoption. While fostering a dog, it 

is possible to learn more about how that 

dog will act in a home setting, increase the 

dog’s network of potential adopters, and 

give them time out of the shelter to decompress. 

Many dogs enter the shelter as stray 

dogs, so virtually nothing is known about 

them. Foster homes provide the opportunity 

to learn important details about dogs in 

the shelter’s care. 

“Fostering is an important and rewarding 

experience,” said Kaye Persinger, director 

of the Franklin County Dog Shelter. 

“We don’t know the history of so many dogs 

in our care, and foster families can help fillin 

the blanks, letting us know how these 

dogs will behave around people, children, 

other dogs and pets, and how they generally 

exist in a home setting.” 

Thee dogs also become Instagram and 

Facebook stars, and the shelter can learn 

information that will help find the dog 

their perfect forever home. 

“The shelter has been working on our 

foster program for months and we are 

excited to welcome interested parties to 

join with us in support of the dogs in our 

care,” said Persinger. 

Those interested in learning more about 

the program, and possibly participating, 

should visit the shelter website, 

www.franklincountydogs.com. To speak to 

someone directly about the program, email 

foster@franklincountyohio.gov. 

The shelter is beginning the program by 

offering long-term resident dogs (at the 

shelter for over a month) initially to interested 

homes. Foster candidates at the shel- 


ter include both dogs with medical issues 

and those who would benefit from time outside 

the shelter environment.

Factors to consider when 

choosing and applying mulch 

Homeowners associate mulch with springtime lawn and garden 

care. 

Mulch protects roots against extreme temperatures. 

Mulch is often connected with its ability to help soil retain moisture 

during especially warm times of the year, when mulch promotes 

strong roots that can help lawns and plants survive periods of 

extreme heat. 

Applying mulch in spring can be beneficial to lawns. Homeowners 

should first consider a few factors. 

•Timing: Know when the average day of the last frost is in your 

area. 

•Texture: Try medium-textured mulch. Fine particles may pack 

down and retain moisture that will evaporate before it reaches the 

plant roots. Materials that are too coarse may be incapable of holding 

sufficient amounts of water to benefit the soil. 

•Nutrients: Humus is an organic component of soil that forms 

when leaves and other plant materials decompose. Organic mulches 

provide humus and decompose over time, adding nutrients into the 

soil. 

•Application: Correct application of the mulch is essential. 

Applying too much mulch can adversely affect lawns, plants and soil. 

In addition, excessive application can cause decay and make lawns 

and plants more vulnerable to disease. Homeowners uncertain about 

when and how to apply mulch in the spring can consult with a lawn 

care professional to devise a plan that ensures their lawns and gardens 

hold up against summer weather.

Eastland-Fairfield bioscience 

students are big winners 

On Feb. 25, students from Eastland-Fairfield Career & 

Technical School’s bioscience satellite program, housed at 

Lincoln High School in Gahanna, presented their senior 

capstone projects to a small group of industry leaders. 

A contest was held as part of the 10th annual Senior 

Capstone Project Presentation in which the top three student 

presentations were awarded monetary scholarships. 

Twenty-three students participated in the annual capstone 

project event. 

Thirteen individuals ranging from doctors, CEOs, and 

special project managers from the biology, science, and 

medical fields participated as judges in the competition. 

The top three projects were selected and those students 

were rewarded for their work with scholarship money, 

donated by the Gahanna Rotary. BioOhio donated an additional 

$1,000 to supplement those scholarships, allowing 

for $2,750 in scholarship funds to be distributed to the winners. 

The winners of the capstone project presentation are: 

•1st place - M’Kaia Trent (Gahanna Lincoln) for 

Investigation Between Schwann Cell Nuclei Counts and 

Internode Length in CMT-2E Mod; 

•2nd place - Edna Boadi (Gahanna Lincoln) for 

Analyzing Protein Expression in Chicken Samples from 

Various Food Stores Using Proteomics; 

•3rd place - Harshitha Vathyam (Gahanna Lincoln) for 

The Influence of Repetitive Traumatic Brain Injury on the 

Progression of Alzheimer's Disease in Rodent Models. 

A capstone project is an independent experiment that 

the student carries out during class time at their high 

school, or while visiting a mentor at their facilities. 

They can work with a mentor, or independently. 

Students can be as creative as they wish within the parameters 

of working in a secondary school setting, and typically 

spend three to six months completing the project.

satellite program, please visit

YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY 

Before your dentist asks you to, 

“Open wide, please,” you will probably 

be asked a few questions 

about your general health. Why 

would your dentist be concerned 

about other parts of your body? 

Because your answers can have a 

direct bearing on your treatment. 

For example, certain kinds of 

heart conditions make people susceptible 

to an infection of the 

heart valves when the gums are 

manipulated, such as in a thorough 

dental cleaning or when a 

tooth is filled or extracted. Therefore, 

these people usually take an 

antibiotic before dental treatment. 

Dr. Kelly 

People who are allergic to penicillin 

can have a reaction when it is 

prescribed for tooth infections. Diabetics 

whose disease is poorly 

controlled can become ill after the 

stress of dental treatment. 

Your dentist will probably also 

ask if you are on any medications, 

so that he or she can avoid prescribing 

any medications that 

could cause harmful interactions. 

Prepared as a public service to 

promote better dental health.

Charming cast helps “e Lost City” shine 

Star charisma may be able to elevate a 

movie, but that alone cannot make the 

experience of watching it enjoyable. If that 

were the case, there would be so many 

more good movies out there in the world — 

and so few actors employed in the industry. 

“The Lost City” is a film that features 

stars with charisma, but it does not require 

them to do the heavy lifting. Instead, its 

smart and self-aware script works in tandem 

with the talent of its actors, making 

this throwback action-adventure romantic 

comedy one of the most joyous — and enjoyable 

— theatrical experiences of the year. 

“The Lost City” follows best-selling 

romance author Loretta Sage (Sandra 

Bullock) as she tries to put the finishing 

touches on the latest installment of her 

popular Lovemore and Dash series. At this 

point in her career, all she wants to do is 

kill off her beloved leads and live a life of 

solitude as she mourns the unexpected 

death of her archeologist husband. 

With the prompting of her pushy manager 

Beth (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), she is 

able to wrap up the series and even commit 

to a small book tour. But any good feelings 

she may have felt regarding the final book 

release and tour are squashed when she 

learns she has to work alongside Alan 

(Channing Tatum), the himbo book cover 

hunk known as Dash to his legions of fans. 

To put it lightly, Loretta cannot stand 

Alan, aka a “mouth-breathing body wash 

commercial.” Not only does she feel as if he 

takes his job too seriously — she constantly 

critiques his penchant to refer to himself as 

Dash outside of his book modeling work — 

but she also feels as if he makes every 

shared public appearance revolve around 

him. 

Take, for instance, the first time the 

audience is introduced to Alan/Dash. It’s 

Loretta’s first time in years working a tour 

circuit and Alan comes out of the back, 

blonde locks flowing, muscles glistening 

and begins to gyrate to Europe’s “The Final 

Countdown.” Though hilarious, one can see 

why one would hate him if not in the right 

mood. 

While Loretta sees this event as “all 

about Alan,” he does try to turn the attention 

back to her, especially since he has 

something of a secret crush on the surly 

and reclusive author. It’s a good thing too 

that he pays close attention to her because 

SUMMER BLAST! 

he is the only witness to her abduction by 

eccentric billionaire Abigail Fairfax (Daniel 

Radcliffe). 

To Abigail Fairfax, Loretta is not just 

another author of “sad and vapid lady fantasies.” 

Instead, he believes she has firsthand 

knowledge of a lost tomb in a lost city 

that is rumored to harbor a lost priceless 

artifact known as The Crown of Fire. The 

reason he believes this? Because she wrote 

about it in her last Lovemore and Dash 

novel. 

Though she tries to tell him he is mistaken, 

that these books are just a work of 

fiction, he flies off with her to this nearly 

uninhabited island so she can get to work 

deciphering found ancient text that was 

inexplicably published in her book. 

While Loretta is dealing with this latest 

misadventure somewhere in the Atlantic, 

Alan is mounting a rescue mission somewhere 

in the States. Though considered by 

many to be dim, he does have the good 

sense to ask for assistance from a former 

Navy SEAL turned meditation instructor 

(played by Brad Pitt) though those plans 

are quickly upended. With no survival 

skills, no fighting skills, and no real life 

skills at his disposal, it is up to Alan’s unrequited 

love for Loretta to save the day — 

and hopefully their lives in the process. 

The Reel Deal 

Dedra 

Cordle 

“The Lost City” has 

a lot going for it: an 

absurdly charming 

cast, genuinely funny 

moments and some 

great scenes of adventure 

that reminded me 

of the short-lived television 

series “Legends 

of the Hidden 

Temple.” The best 

part of this film, however, 

is the chemistry of the ensemble and 

not just the chemistry between its main 

stars, which frankly could have used a little 

more heat. But every single member of 

the cast works collaboratively to bring this 

smart and self-aware script to life which in 

turn brought forth a real joy to the overall 

film. It looked like they had a blast making 

this movie and I believe the majority of the 

audience will not be able to not get caught 

up in their enthusiasm for the project as 

well.
