Councilman proposes 

amending rezoning of 

Schacht property 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Legislation proposed by a Canal Winchester 

City Councilman Patrick Shea could 

breathe life into a rezoning of property 

owned by the Schacht family, with a twoprong 

approach and sidestepping a referendum 

on the fall ballot. 

Shea’s proposed ordinance to repeal the 

original rezoning–which garnered over 600 

signatures earlier this year in opposition on 

a ballot petition organized by Canal Winchester 

for Smart Growth that stopped the 

original legislation in its tracks–was up for 

consideration on the April 18 council work 

session agenda. 

The new ordinance would amend the 

city’s zoning for the same acreage in the 

same location at Bixby and Rager roads 

owned by the same people–Teresa and 

Dale Schacht, Norma Jean Schacht Trust– 

from Exceptional Use to Planned Industrial 

District and declare an emergency. 

“This ordinance was prepared as directed 

by Councilman Shea,” said Development Director 

Lucas Haire. “The plan associated 

with this is the plan presented to council.” 

City Law Director Jesse Shamp said the 

change in zoning to Planned Industrial District 

would essentially moot the referendum 

and emergency legislation is not subject to 

a referendum. 

Up for a second reading on the regular 

council agenda was the detachment of the 

Schacht property from the city in order to 

proceed with the development with another 

entity, most likely Columbus. The detachment 

would also render the referendum 

moot. 

Before moving to table ordinance 22-016 

until the next council meeting, Shea said, “I

Fearing a potential loss of revenue if land 

owned by the Schacht family is detached 

from the city of Canal Winchester and then 

annexed into Columbus, the Canal Winchester 

Board of Education passed a resolution 

urging Canal Winchester City Council to 

take action to prevent the detachment. 

According to a Win-Win agreement in 

1992, territory located within the Canal 

Winchester Local School District annexed 

by Columbus is transferred out of the local 

district and into Columbus City Schools. 

City council previously passed a pre-annexation, 

annexation agreement, and rezoning 

for land owned by the Schacht family 

at Bixby and Rager roads. However, a citizen-led 

referendum garnered enough signatures 

to place the proposed Northpoint 

warehouse development for the site on hold 

until after the November general election. 

Under the terms of the pre-annexation 

agreement between the city and the property 

owners, the referendum filing is a condition 

that permits the Schachts to request 

detachment of the property from the city, 

which returns it return it to the Madison 

Township, and then file with a different entity, 

which is most likely Columbus. 

During the April 19 school board meeting, 

Superintendent James Sotlar said 

Canal Winchester Schools has no authority 

when it comes to growth in making decisions 

in the community. However, when a 

property is detached, he said there is a responsibility 

to protect a revenue source. 

“This is protecting our school property 

and making sure it’s not given to another 

school district where we could lose substantial 

tax revenue,” Sotlar said.

RISE program 

The Franklin County commissioners 

announced a new investment in families 

and local child care providers called 

Franklin County RISE. 

The partnership with Action For 

Children will invest nearly $23 million 

over two years to support Franklin County 

families who are struggling to pay for child 

care as well as child care providers and 

staff. This is the most significant investment 

ever in the local early childhood 

learning system, and builds on earlier 

funding from the city of Columbus. The 

funding comes from the American Rescue 

Plan and is intended to help families who 

are facing the “benefits cliff” in which they 

make too much to qualify for Publicly 

Funded Child Care (PFCC) but too little to 

actually afford child care, as well as the 

early learning centers and teachers on 

which they rely. 

“As we reimagine what our child care 

system is going to look like coming out of 

the pandemic, some have tried to frame it 

as a choice between increasing affordability 

or improving quality,” Franklin County 

Commissioner Erica Crawley said. “As a 

single mom of twins, I can tell you parents 

don’t see it as an either/or proposition - and 

neither does Franklin County. Early care 

and education is an educational, workforce, 

and economic issue and must be top priority 

requiring our investment now.” 

Nearly one in six of the child care centers 

in central Ohio that closed during the 

COVID-19 pandemic has not reopened, 

and half of those remaining report that 

they are not able to cover their expenses. 

Families rely on child care to help prepare 

children for school and so that the parents 

can work, but high-quality care can cost 

more than college in Franklin County, and 

parents who make as little as $25,000 per 

year don’t qualify for assistance. Franklin 

County RISE will help alleviate these 

struggles in three ways: early learning 

scholarships, incentive payments for child 

care programs, and financial supports for 

child care workers. 

“Providing high-quality child care and 

running a business are both challenges even 

in the best of times,” said Commissioner 

John O’Grady. “Our new Franklin County 

RISE funding for both child care centers and 

their staff will help to keep them afloat, 

incentivize quality, and ensure that great 

teachers don’t have to abandon their passion 

for jobs in other fields.” 

Franklin County RISE includes $11.4 

million in scholarships for families facing 

the benefits cliff, and 500 students are 

expected to be eligible for up to $10,000 per 

year in scholarships. 

The support to providers totals more 

than $11.3 million in four funding areas: as 

many as 750 providers are expected to 

receive up to $3,000 per year for taking on 

low-income families, up to $10,000 for 

improving their state ratings, and up to 

$5,000 per year for expanding to non-traditional 

hours. In addition, $500,000 of the 

RISE funding is dedicated to emergency 

rental assistance for child care workers. 

These teachers are predominantly women 

and people of color and chronically underpaid, 

with an average wage for credentialed 

lead teachers averaging just $12.22 

per hour–about 41 percent of the median 

income for Franklin County. RISE teacher 

supports will offer an average of $3,000 in 

rental assistance payments per household. 

“What a cruel irony for parents to be 

told that even though their job doesn’t pay 

enough to afford child care, it makes them 

ineligible for child care assistance,” said 

Commissioner Kevin Boyce. “The benefits 

cliff is the result of federal policy that simply 

hasn’t kept up with the cost of child 

care. If we realistically want people in the 

workforce and moving up the economic ladder, 

we have to find ways to make child 

care affordable.” 

Action for Children is a child care 

resource and referral agency for both families 

and providers in central Ohio, offering 

parent education and seminars, training 

and technical assistance for teachers and 

providers, as well as advocacy and workforce 

development. Action for Children is already 

administering some child care scholarships 

and signing bonuses funded by the city of 

Columbus which will be rolled into the 

Franklin County RISE initiatives. Action for 

Children will administer Franklin County 

RISE, serving as the point of contact for 

families and early learning centers, determining 

program eligibility, and administering 

the scholarships and grants.

County RISE program, including detailed 

eligibility requirements, and to apply for 

the scholarships or incentives, visit

“e Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” is a gem 

Once upon a time, Nicolas Cage was known as a great 

actor who chose great projects. OK, that sentence might be 

a bit of a stretch, but you have to admit he has always had 

an undeniable presence that makes him magnetic to watch 

on the silver screen. 

For the last decade, the majority of films he has starred in 

have gone straight to video, seen only by the masses in meme 

form on the internet. His latest venture, however, is quite 

possibly the best thing he has done in years with the best performance 

he has given in years. While his eccentricities are 

still on display within this project, it manages to work in harmony 

with his acting quirks and not against them. 

In “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” Cage 

stars as Nic Cage, a fictionalized version of himself who is 

also an actor whose career has been on a downward spiral. 

Though he tries so hard to impress potential directors — he 

gives a debasing and cringe-worthy audition at the beginning 

of the film — no one is willing to give him a chance. To 

make matters worse, his relationship with his teenage 

daughter Addy (Lily Mo Sheen) is strained because of his 

tendency to make everything about himself and he is 

struggling financially, swimming in massive debt. “I 

thought the hotel liked having me stay there?” Nic says to 

his agent when he learns they sent him a bill of $600,000. 

With his financial woes increasing and zero job opportunities 

on the horizon, Nic agrees to appear at the birthday

party of billionaire Javi Gutierrez (Pedro Pascal) in 

Mallorca, Spain for $1 million. While initially dreading the 

prospect of putting on “Movie Star” airs for a crowd, Nic 

finds Javi to be a downright enjoyable companion and the 

two quickly bond over the current state of cinema. 

Feeling as if he knows Javi’s heart — “I am an actor 

whose job it is to see inside of people,” he says — Nic is 

shocked to learn that CIA agents believe he is an international 

arms dealer who is the prime suspect in the abduction 

of a local politician’s child. Because the agents are not 

able to access the heavily fortified property, they enlist Nic 

to engage in some light spycraft to take him down. 

Naturally, things take a turn. 

The premise of this film — a movie starring Nicolas Cage 

playing a fictionalized version of himself — is absurd enough 

to begin with, but things really go beyond when the agents 

rope his character into doing their job for them. In one 

scene, Nic accidentally self-administers a sleeping agent 

and has to worm crawl his way to the antidote. In another, 

Javi takes Nic to a secret tribute room where he appears to 

threaten his life with the two gold titanium nitride-plated 

guns used in “Face/Off.” In almost every other scenario, this 

movie would likely be a complete and incoherent mess but it 

magically works on almost every level.

MTPD seeking grants 


Staff Writer 

Grants replenishing equipment worn by 

Madison Township Police officers, and coupled 

with potential new officer staffing, 

could help the township protect its own and 

have more officers out patrolling the 

streets. 

Madison Township Police Chief Gary 

York asked the township trustees on April 

21 for permission to apply for a trio of 

grants, two of which the department has 

received in the past. 

“The first is for body armor through the 

state of Ohio,” York said. “It’s an annual 

grant and covers 75 percent of the cost for 

each vest, which has a life span of five 

years. We were awarded that last year and 

have always taken advantage of that.” 

While the township pays for the five 

vests up front, which cost $1,071 per vest, 

the grant application is for a reimbursement 

of $3,861. 

The second grant–an Ohio Criminal 

Justice Service Grant–is for $146,234 to 

pay for law enforcement staffing, recruitment, 

hiring and retention. 

Last year the police department 

received an OCJS grant that helped pay for 

computer equipment. 

The township is also applying for a U.S. 

Department of Justice Community 

Oriented Policing Services grant, a 75 percent 

matching grant, which covers up to 

$125,000 per year for salaries and benefits 

for a law enforcement officer for three 

years. 

“Hopefully, by getting out early, we’ll be 

awarded this grant,” said York.

My leafy friend 

On a hot, humid summer day in 1985 

my dad handed me a small, frail maple 

tree seedling. 

The seedling had been growing beside 

the foundation of his house in a bad spot so 

he gently pulled it out of the ground to preserve 

its fragile roots. 

The skinny seedling was about a foot 

high and only had three leaves, but it 

looked green and healthy. 

I had recently bought and moved into 

my own house that summer. I took the 

seedling and planted it in a corner of my 

backyard to see what would happen. I felt 

it had a will to live and thrive. 

It did because what happened was that 

37 years later, the little seedling grew to a 

height of almost 40 feet with a broad, 

shady leaf canopy. The seedling’s once thin 

stem grew into a sturdy, thick tree trunk. 

This maple tree has brought me joy 

through every season over these nearly 

four decades. Birds nest and sing in the 

tree. Squirrels romp in its branches. 

In spring, the tree’s leaf buds pop out in 

a shade of light green. 

By summer those leaves are a deep 

green and the shade they cast cools the 

yard when the summer sun bears down. 

The wind rustling its leaves is a welcome 

sound. 

As autumn arrives the tree’s leaves 

transform into a brilliant golden hue. 

The tree’s handsome brown/gray limbs 

and trunk become visible in winter when 

the leaves abandon it when the cold sets in. 

The tree looks beautiful in every season, 

but it is in winter when one gets a sense of 

its true strength. 

This maple tree and I were young 

together when I planted it in the yard. I 

nurtured it and its presence nurtured me. 

Reports of unidentified flying objects are 

increasing across the globe. 

On June 25, 2021, the Pentagon 

released a report to Congress on sightings 

by the U.S. Navy of unidentified aerial phenomena 

and a more extensive accounting is 

expected to be made public in the near 

future. 

Author Linda Haley, of Columbus, has 

released her book, “Arrival of the Light 

Beings: How to Prepare for the Shift and 

Contact with Extraterrestrials,” providing 

context to these reports and shedding light 

on the objectives of extraterrestrials and 

multidimensional beings. In her book, 

Haley offers an educational experience 

enlightening readers on the reality of life 

beyond Earth which was inspired by the 

author’s real-life experiences. Written in 

the style of narrative fiction, the book is an 

autobiography of Haley’s awakening and 

acceptance of her role in the planet’s evolution. 

The book highlights the importance of 

column 

The tree has been 

in my life through different 

jobs, different 

relationships, and my 

different perspectives 

of life. 

As other plants 

came and went in the 

yard, the maple tree 

remained as a tower 

of nature’s power and 

beauty. 

Nearly 40 years 

later, the tree and I 

have grown old 

together. 


Editor’s Notebook 

Rick 

Palsgrove 

I first noticed signs of struggle in the 

tree last spring when some of its branches 

on its west and north sides failed to leaf 

out. As summer rolled around I saw more 

barren branches appearing up through the 

center of the tree. By fall, only the south 

side of the tree, and a smattering of other 

areas, had maintained a healthy set of 

leaves. So few golden leaves fell from the 

tree last autumn that I did not need to 

rake them up. 

This spring the familiar light green leaf 

buds popped out on some branches of my 

pal the maple tree. 

But they are sparse. It is heartening to 

see that my maple tree strives to live. 

But it saddens me to know that my long 

time leafy friend’s days may be numbered. 

The circle of life affects all living things. 

Rick Palsgrove is managing editor of the 

Messenger Newspapers. 

Haley writes timely novel 

spiritual development and how to bring 

purpose and meaning into one’s life. It discusses 

the relationship between the arrival 

of non-human visitors and the growing 

number of earthquakes, volcanoes, climate 

change, etc. It guides readers on how to 

prepare for the shift in consciousness and 

awareness which will impact each person, 

but not understood by everyone. 

With the more recent reportings on 

UFO sightings, Haley emphasizes the reasons 

why they are coming to Earth and 

why humans should not fear their arrival.

CW knows the score! 


Staff Writer 

A new scoreboard for Mike Locke Stadium, 

two for the main gymnasium, and one 

at a ball field at Canal Winchester High 

School will provide much more than athletic 

statistics–they also afford the district a 

revenue source and an opportunity for a 

new student curriculum. 

Canal Winchester High School Athletic 

Director Pat Durbin said the old stadium 

scoreboard dates back to the time when the 

artificial turf and track were first installed. 

“It’s extremely dated and we wanted a 

fresh look,” said Durbin. “The new scoreboards 

will also create a revenue source for 

the athletic office. For example, uniforms 

are always a concern and there is a fine line 

when purchasing them, which we try to 

stretch out and replace after three to six 

years. I’ve got to be a good steward of the 

funds we receive.” 

Uniforms are not the only cost Durbin 

considers when budgeting for the athletic 

department. 

There are various sports for boys and 

girls, supplies, equipment, official’s contracts 

and the list goes on. 

The new electronic scoreboards have 

space for eight static ads and unlimited digital 

space. Scoreboards at the baseball and 

softball fields have space for four static ads. 

“The opportunities for digital ads are 

endless,” said Durbin, who said he is in contact 

with potential local advertisers. “I’m focused 

right now on businesses that have 

supported the athletic office in the past. 

We’re giving them the first option to purchase 

space and there are different packages.” 

The cost of the scoreboards is approximately 

$200,000. Sponsorship packages 

range from $3,000 per year to $10,000 per 

year for a five year commitment (per year). 

According to Durbin, the lifespan of the 

scoreboards is 15 to 20 years. 

He worked with district administrators 

to create a financing package for all of the 

scoreboards. 

“There’s got to be a return on our investment,” 

said Durbin, who said the new 

boards should be installed by Aug. 1. 

The return is not only monetary through 

sponsorships, but also an educational return 

in creating a curriculum to go along 

with the operation of the boards, which 

Durbin hopes to have up and running in 

time for the upcoming school year. 

“I want to get our students involved with 

the boards and announcing,” said Durbin.

of Canal Winchester Schools.) 

“It gets harder and harder to get volunteers 

and if our students can earn credit while 

working for the athletic department, it can 

lead to careers beyond high school.” 

In 2021, Hamilton Township Schools created 

a credentialed Media Design, Marketing, 

and Sales pathway to graduation under 

a similar situation when they installed a 

$484,000 Daktronics board in their high 

school stadium. Hamilton Township Schools 

Treasurer Adam Collier expected sponsorships 

to bring in $90,000 to $100,000 a year. 

“I am very excited for the future of our 

student athletes and our athletic program,” 

said Durbin. 

CW a Tree City USA 

Canal Winchester was recently named a 

2021 Tree City USA Community by the 

Arbor Day Foundation. The designation 

honors the city’s commitment to effective 

urban forest management. Canal Winchester 

has been recognized as a Tree City USA 

community for 29 consecutive years. 

Each Tree City USA community receives 

recognition by meeting the program’s four 

requirements: a tree board or department, 

a tree-care ordinance, an annual community 

forestry budget of at least $2 per capita, and 

an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

trees provide many benefits to a community 

when properly planted and maintained. In 

addition to improving neighborhood aesthetics, 

trees generally increase property 

values, reduce home cooling costs, reduce 

air pollution, and provide an excellent natural 

habitat for wildlife.

SCHACHT 

Continued from page 1 

personally take offense to the rhetoric of 

taking away rights. We’re in a very tricky 

situation. Our city loses the opportunity to 

block Columbus out.” 

In written comments submitted to council 

before the meeting, CW for Smart 

Growth organizer Angie Halstead wrote, 

“I’d like to address the end of the last council 

meeting where an apparent plan to kill 

democracy pursued between (city council 

members) Mr. Clark and Mr. Shea…Democracy 

is defined as government by the people, 

especially rule of the majority. We followed 

a democratic process - one that is in place 

for a reason. We gathered 635 signatures in 

18 days in the middle of an ice storm and 

the coldest month of the year…The people 

of Canal Winchester deserve a say in what 

we want - this is called democracy. No one 

knows what will happen, yet the rhetoric of 

Columbus will take this land continues. 

This behavior is beyond words. The actions 

of some council never cease to amaze. Disappointed 

is an understatement.” 

During the regular council meeting, 

Canal Winchester Schools Treasurer Nick 

Roberts said if the Schacht property is detached 

from the city, it opens up the door for 

Columbus to annex it, with revenue going 

to the capitol city and not Canal Winchester. 

“I know it’s speculative, but I think they 

will do that,” said Roberts. “They have no 

reason not to. We support the city council to 

take any action necessary to prevent the detachment 

of the property located at Bixby 

and Rager Roads.” 

Canal Winchester Schools Superintendent 

James Sotlar said the land is not only 

important to the school district, but also to 

the community for future growth and development. 

He said it is important to look at all 

of the facts from all sides. 

Labor Day Festival finances 

Labor Day Committee Chairperson Carolyn 

Ebert discussed the financial situation 

facing the 2022 celebration and asked for 

additional financial support from the city. 

The cost to put on the annual three-day 

festival is approximately $79,000 and includes 

stage entertainment, parade bands, 

electricity, etc. 

However, part of a carryover from the 

last in-person festival was used in 2021 to 

stage the Hometown Day celebration and 

the committee is having difficulty finding 

sponsors–even those who previously participated 

in the Labor Day Festival, which 

celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. 

“A lot of these things people don’t think 

about,” said Ebert. “It takes quite a bit to 

put this thing on. We normally start our balance 

at $45,000. Hometown Day ate up a lot 

of that carryover. We spent close to $30,000 

on Hometown.” 

While no decision was made during the 

council meeting, members voiced their support 

of the Labor Day Festival. Canal Winchester 

Finance Director Amanda Jackson 

reported, as of the end of March, there was 

$225,000 in the city’s Bed Tax Fund. 

“I’m fully supportive,” said Councilman 

Mike Walker. “The money is there.” 

Council Vice President Bob Clark suggested, 

“Let’s start with $30,000 and get 

things rolling.”


SCHOOLS 

Continued from page 1 

Board President Kevin Butler said he respects 

the city and their zoning and did not 

want to step on their decision, but for the school 

district, the board has to look at the situation 

from a holistic perspective. 

“We have not had to go out for new taxpayer 

money and that’s really important to us,” said 

Butler. “We’re fiscal stewards. For us, it’s really 

important that we protect our property and our 

tax revenue. I’d really hate to see our land annexed 

to Columbus and we lose our control.” 

Board member Vangela Barnes was not 

happy that the school board was getting involved 

in the issue, but at the same time agreed 

school board and taxpayer interests need to be 

protected. She said she had mixed feelings 

about the resolution. 

“People should have the right to vote for or 

against something,” said Barnes in referring to 

the referendum. “They’ve gone through the 

process. At the same time, we have the right to 

protect taxpayers and the revenues our schools 

need or acquire.” 

Board member Monika Talley said she was 

in support of the property resolution because 

she believes it is in the best interests of the 

school district to support any and all measures 

to retain the property in order to prevent the 

future loss of school revenue. 

The board resolution passed 5-0. 

Mental health issues 

Sotlar reported on district initiatives to support 

the mental health of staff, students, and 

their families. He said many are struggling to 

navigate changes over the last two years as evidenced 

by learning disruptions and significant 

mental and behavioral challenges due to myriad 

factors. 

“Sadly, over the last several months, tragic 

incidents have occurred that are impacting our 

schools and our community,” said Sotlar. “As 

educators and school officials, we know as parents 

you want the best for your children. We’re 

asking for help from our parents if they see 

signs of their kids struggling to contact the 

school. If we see something, that’s our key to 

contact someone, whether it’s the school nurse 

or school counselor or a mental health provider 

you go to or other health professional.” 

In the upcoming school year, the district’s 

goal is to add several mental health related positions 

to the Canal Winchester school district 

staff at all levels. 

“To strengthen our mental health team and 

to provide additional support for our students 

and their families,” said Sotlar. “We’re going to 

have additional counselors at Indian Trail and 

the high school. Hopefully add a Nationwide 

Children’s Health clinical counselor. This 

would put one in each building and hopefully 

add a clinical counseling intern. Hopefully, 

overall, we’ll have one board-certified mental 

health specialist district-wide. We’re doing our 

best to try and bring people into our buildings. 

We know there is a lot of work to do. Empowering 

all of our students for success goes beyond 

the classroom.” 

CW Tree Giveaway 


City of Canal Winchester residents can 

pick up a free tree at the city’s 21st annual 

tree giveaway at Stradley Park, 36 

S. High St. in historic downtown Canal 

Winchester, on May 7 from 9-11 a.m., rain 

or shine. Approximately 120 trees will be 

given away on a first-come, first-served 

basis. Limit one tree per household. 

The annual giveaway and associated 

programs are part of an initiative by the 

city’s Street Tree Advisory Board and 

the Department of Public Service Division 

of Stormwater to increase canopy 

coverage, prevent soil erosion, and promote 

clean air throughout the Canal 

Winchester community. 

According to Canal Winchester’s 

Urban Forester Dick Miller, “Distributing 

new trees to private property owners 

in Canal Winchester benefits us all and 

is essential in growing the city’s green 

canopy. The majority of tree canopy coverage 

is on private property and riverine 

corridors in Canal Winchester. Anything 

your street tree advisory board 

and stormwater department can do to 

further the goal of planting more of the 

right tree in the right place is a plus for 

the city. Trees are the only part of the 

city’s infrastructure that will grow on 

their own and increase in value and 

function over time.” 

The giveaway is open to city of Canal 

Winchester residents living within the 

city’s corporation limits only. Proof of residency 

will be required, such as a city 

water bill or driver’s license. During the 

giveaway, members of the Street Tree 

Advisory Board will be on hand to answer 

questions about residential selections. 

For information contact Canal Winchester 

Urban Forester Dick Miller at 

614-834-5110.

Q: How often should someone with diabetes 

get an eye exam? 

A: Someone with diabetes should see an eye care professional at least 

once a year for a comprehensive dilated eye exam. 

Q: How can diabetes affect my vision? 

A: Over time, diabetes damages small blood vessels throughout the body, 

including the retina. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when these tiny blood 

vessels leak blood and other fluids. This causes the retinal tissue to swell, 

resulting in cloudy or blurred vision. The condition usually affects both 

eyes. The longer a person has diabetes, the more likely they will develop 

diabetic retinopathy. If left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause 

blindness. (AOA) 

Symptoms include: seeing spots or “floaters”, blurred vision, and difficulty 

seeing at night. 

Schedule your diabetic eye exam today 

with Dr. Morris.

Close to home, but not close to the ground 

Hamilton Township High School graduate Bill Schneider enjoyed having a job close to home in Obetz, 

but he didn’t spend much time close to the ground. Schneider is shown here in his bucket truck, that 

reaches 65 feet high, tackling the removal of about 100 feet of cottonwood tree that loomed over two 

houses. Schneider spent most of the day in the bucket selecting, tying off limbs, and cutting them in the 

particular spot so his Able Tree Service crew could lower them to the ground. The cottonwood was the 

second tree on the property to get removed from around a number of rooftops and power lines. 

Schneider said he has been doing this kind of work for 10 years.

the program, and possibly participating, 

pets of the week 

Foster a dog 

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 shelter 

include both dogs with medical issues 

and those who would benefit from time 

outside the shelter environment. 

Rocky is quite the 

catch. He is smart, 

handsome, and looking 

for a family to call his 

own. Rocky arrived at 

the county shelter on 

Christmas Eve and was 

surrendered for being 

too much of an escape 

artist. He is housebroken 

and is the perfect 

mix of fun and laid-back. He loves playing 

with his toys and does the cutest little bounce 

and spin when he’s feeling frisky. He has 

done well with other dogs and should meet 

any resident dogs in the home prior to adoption. 

If you are looking for the perfect work 

from home buddy, Rocky is your guy. 

FYI: franklincountydogs.com 

Wilson is such a cutie. 

From the moment he 

meets you, his tail will 

never stop wagging. 

He loves getting attention 

and is in search of 

someone who will give 

him all the love and 

belly rubs he deserves. 

He would do best as 

your only furry friend and must meet everyone 

living in his forever home prior to adoption. 

Come meet this handsome man today at 

the Franklin County Shelter. 

FYI: franklincountydogs.com 

Aston Martin is a 3- 

year-old long haired 

tabby who was rescued 

from the streets. He is a 

sweet boy who would 

love to find his forever 

home. He is neutered, 

microchipped, and vaccinated. 

You can stop 

by and meet him at the 

Colony Cats cage-free 

adoption center. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

Ivy Rose is a shy 6- 

year-old girl who is 

looking for someone 

with a quiet home and 

the patience to give her 

the time she needs to 

adjust. Ivy is not a lap 

cat but can be affectionate 

and likes to be 

near you. She gets 

along with other cats 

and could potentially 

be okay with older children 

who would understand her shyness. Ivy 

Rose needs a home of her very own to flourish 

in, to love a family to her full potential. 

Adopt her from Friends for Life Animal Haven. 

FYI: fflah.org 

Adopt a furry friend today! 

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 fill-in 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 

Emergency services in Obetz 

Emergency medical, fire, and rescue 

services in the Obetz area are provided by 

either the Hamilton Township Fire 

Department or Madison Township Fire 

Department depending on your location. For 

non-emergencies, call the Hamilton Township 

Fire Department at (614) 491-1013. The 

Madison Township Fire Department may be 

reached at (614) 837-7883. 

School Help Centers 

The Columbus Metropolitan Library’s 

School Help Centers offer K-12 students 

after-school help, plus 24/7 access to free 

tools and resources. Students can get connected 

with virtual tutors for one-on-one 

help Monday through Friday from 2-11 

p.m. using HelpNow.Hours vary by library 

location. Visit columbuslibrary.org/schoolhelp

SWACO’s Marsh retires 

Groveport Garden Club 

The Groveport Garden Club meets the 

first Tuesday each month (unless otherwise 

announced) at Groveport Zion 

Lutheran Church, 6014 Groveport Road. 

Call Marylee Bendig at (614) 218-1097. 

After serving more than eight years as 

executive director for the Solid Waste 

Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO), Ty 

Marsh retired on March 31. 

Hired by the SWACO Board of Trustees 

in December 2013, Marsh has overseen significant 

and strategic change at SWACO 

and in the Solid Waste District which now 

boasts a recycling rate of 51 percent — far 

exceeding the national average — and a 

highly efficient municipal solid waste landfill 

with more than 40 years of capacity 

remaining to serve the public. 

“It has been a great honor to be part of 

SWACO’s transformation from an organization 

solely focused on landfill operations 

to one that is leading the conversation and 

efforts around community sustainability,” 

Marsh said. “With a strong foundation and 

clear plan for progress in place, I am excited 

to see how SWACO can seize the opportunities 

before our community in the years 

ahead.” 

“Director Marsh has accomplished much 

in his tenure with SWACO, setting a clear 

strategic direction for the future of solid 

waste disposal, recycling, waste reduction 

and diversion for our community,” said 

Susan Tilgner, chair of the SWACO board. 

“His retirement is well deserved, but he 

will be missed.” 

Every year in Franklin County, over a 

million tons of material arrives at the landfill 

and the vast majority (76 percent) could 

have been diverted. With consumer desire 

for more sustainable goods at record levels, 

these materials are in high demand by 

local businesses, hundreds of which call 

central Ohio home. 

“With the right infrastructure and leadership 

in place, our future can become 

about seizing opportunities that set our 

community apart both environmentally 

and economically, while creating a competitive 

advantage for attracting workforce 

and investment, and fueling the marketing 

of our region,” said Marsh. 

In the first quarter of 2022, SWACO 

plans to invite proposals from qualified 

vendors to construct and operate recovery 

facilities for recyclables and organics. In 

addition, SWACO and partners will move 

closer to the opening of the largest solar 

array on a closed landfill site in the United 

States. Work will also continue on the 

Green Economy Business Park, which will 

bring together the sustainable materials 

management supply chain to create thousands 

of jobs and millions of revenues and 

investment in the region. 

The SWACO board will conduct an open 

search for its next executive director and 

hired Ohio-based Strategic HR and Direct 

Effect Solutions to recruit potential candidates. 

The board is focused on finding the 

best candidate for the position.
