Obetz City Council approved making<br />
changes to the city’s <strong>2022</strong> appropriations.<br />
At council’s <strong>June</strong> 13 meeting, Obetz<br />
City Administrator Rod Davisson said<br />
these changes are largely due to the<br />
increased cost of gasoline.<br />
“Gasoline has doubled and tripled in<br />
price, which we did not expect at the beginning<br />
of the year when we started to drive<br />
cruisers and vehicles. We’ve run out of gas<br />
money and a lot of funds,” said Davisson.<br />
Another line item expense was $2,500<br />
for Iron Mountain storage fees.<br />
“That’s where we store some of our public<br />
records when they get archived,” said<br />
Davisson.<br />
Another item is a reduction of $1,200 to<br />
match up with actual expenditures.<br />
Another is a debt service pay out of<br />
$690,000, which is what happens when a<br />
TIF (tax increment financing) generates<br />
some money. The Toy Road TIF district<br />
infrastructure is funded by a developer<br />
with a letter of credit.<br />
“In other words, they backed the bonds<br />
on our infrastructure approval by the letter<br />
of credit,” said Davisson. “And the deal<br />
is that as that TIF starts making money,<br />
they can recover that money that they paid<br />
over the years. And this year, that number<br />
is $690,000.”<br />
There is also an addition of $505,000 in<br />
the natural gas fund.<br />
“Again, we have to buy more natural<br />
gas at higher prices, both for resale and for<br />
the use of the city properties,” said<br />
Davisson. “I hope that’s enough, but you<br />

know, if gas goes to 10 bucks a gallon, we’ll<br />
run out of that pretty quickly, too. So we’re<br />
doing what we can to conserve and keep<br />
operations going in what’s turned into a<br />
very dangerous economy. So we’re keeping<br />
an eye on that to see how it goes.”<br />
BTIFS and Buckstone development<br />
There was also an emergency reading<br />
on an ordinance that creates two TIF districts<br />
within the city.<br />
Davisson explained, “The TIF districts<br />
are part of the overall larger project. There<br />
is a tax increment financing district. It is a<br />
way for us to redirect tax monies that<br />
would usually go to other political subdivisions<br />
(back) to the city for the purpose of<br />
constructing the infrastructure related to<br />
the Buckstone development.”<br />
It had been tabled in order for it to be<br />
enacted at the right time to create a New<br />
Community Authority of the three farms<br />
that had been sold for development -<br />
Younkin, Warner, and Wilburn farms.<br />
Obetz Law Director Eugene Hollins<br />
explained in previous meetings that the<br />
laws creating a New Community Authority<br />
had to be passed in a certain order, and<br />
Obetz is close to passing all of them to create<br />
the Buckstone development.<br />
Emergency passage of legislation means<br />
the law will go into effect immediately,<br />
rather than waiting 30 days for it to go into<br />
effect.<br />
Resident Andy Borders asked, “I read<br />
that Franklin county is not really behind<br />
this. What does that do to the structure of<br />
the payments?”<br />
Davisson responded, “It does nothing.<br />
We planned for the county to want its<br />
social services money, which is exactly<br />
what they did. It doesn’t necessarily mean<br />
that they’re against the project. We had a<br />
meeting with them to discuss the project<br />
generally, which they seem to favor. So we<br />
weren’t surprised by their objection.”<br />
New personal fireworks law<br />
Ohio’s new personal fireworks law was<br />
on the agenda, but Hollins said council<br />
would discuss it at its <strong>June</strong> 27 meeting.<br />
The new Ohio law, that goes into effect<br />
July 1, allows individuals to possess consumer<br />
grade fireworks in Ohio, eliminating<br />
a requirement that purchasers transport<br />
consumer grade fireworks out of the state<br />
within 48 hours of purchase.<br />
It also allows any person authorized to<br />
possess consumer grade fireworks to discharge<br />
them on their own property or on<br />
another person’s property with permission<br />
on the following days: New Year’s Day;<br />
Chinese New Year; Cinco de Mayo;<br />
Memorial Day weekend; <strong>June</strong>teenth; July<br />
3, 4, and 5 and the Fridays, Saturdays, and<br />
Sundays preceding and following; Labor<br />
Day weekend; Diwali; and New Year’s Eve.<br />
According to a statement from Governor<br />
Mike DeWine, “The bill I signed limits the<br />
discharge of fireworks to the more traditional<br />
holidays that Ohioans celebrate,<br />
while recognizing our numerous culturally<br />
diverse holidays.”<br />
The law permits local governments to<br />
restrict the dates and times when individuals<br />
may discharge consumer grade fireworks<br />
or to impose a complete ban on the<br />
use of consumer grade fireworks.<br />
The law also:<br />
•requires licensed retailers, manufacturers,<br />
and wholesalers selling consumer<br />
grade fireworks to offer safety glasses for<br />
free or for a nominal fee and to provide<br />
purchasers with a safety pamphlet;<br />
•prohibits discharging fireworks while<br />
in possession of or under the influence of<br />
alcohol or a controlled substance or on<br />
someone’s property without permission;<br />
•allows the State Fire Marshal to suspend<br />
a fireworks manufacturer or wholesaler<br />
if they have violated the fireworks<br />
law or State Fire Marshal rules; prohibits<br />
the State Fire Marshal from unreasonably<br />
withholding a variance to allow hobbyists<br />
to manufacture, possess, and use individual<br />
display grade and consumer grade fireworks<br />
and requires cause for revocation of<br />
a hobbyist variance; and<br />
•requires hobbyists seeking variances<br />
to demonstrate they can engage in the<br />
hobby safely and legally and limits hobbyists<br />
to possession of five pounds of raw<br />
materials and finished fireworks produced<br />
through the hobby.

Obetz takes more action on Buckstone development<br />
By Katelyn Sattler<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Obetz City Council held a special meeting<br />
<strong>June</strong> 16, for the second reading on legislation<br />
pertaining to a New Community<br />
Authority related to the Buckstone project.<br />
“We’ve talked about this a number of<br />
times,” said Obetz Administrator Rod<br />
Davisson. “This is the next step in the evolution<br />
of creating a New Community<br />
Authority related to the Buckstone project.<br />
A New Community Authority is an overlay<br />
that allows you to accumulate redirected<br />
taxes that would have gone to other political<br />
subdivisions, and normally has the<br />
power to create bonds, to buy a property,<br />
and do a number of things. Ultimately, that<br />
is the way to make a new development<br />
work, as opposed to just building straight<br />
residential houses, which ultimately are a<br />
negative drain on an economy.”<br />
Resident Jennifer Kyre asked, “Why did<br />
we have to call a special meeting to pass<br />
this ordinance when we just had a council<br />
meeting? Did something occur that this<br />
needed to happen today?”<br />
Obetz Law Director Eugene Hollins<br />
explained, “There are three signatures on<br />
the petition that they just said we’ve<br />
received. And it’s sufficient. For the third<br />
signature, the family needed to meet<br />
Tuesday. They did meet Tuesday. They<br />
consented it to it. We got their signed documents<br />
today. And in anticipation of that,<br />
we’d set this special meeting for today. The<br />
reason for not just pushing it to the next<br />
regular meeting is once we receive that, we<br />
set a public hearing. We need to public<br />
notice that public hearing to occur for three<br />
weeks. And it has to be between 30 and 45<br />
days, so that if we wanted to have it at the<br />
second meeting in July, we had to get this<br />
meeting scheduled. So it’s a great question,<br />
but it’s a bunch of legalities and statutory<br />
things.”<br />
The public hearing for this ordinance<br />
will be at the regular council meeting on<br />
July 25 at 6 p.m.<br />
No public comments were accepted at<br />
the meeting that weren’t related to the one<br />
agenda item.<br />
Davisson explained, “The rules of Ohio<br />
all say that when you have this meeting,<br />
you have to talk about the ordinance that is<br />
the subject of the special meeting.”<br />
Davisson said that if citizens want to<br />
discus other things, they’re “just a week<br />
early and can come to the next meeting,<br />
which is a general council meeting.”<br />
Community members can then present<br />
anything they want to discuss.<br />

PAGE 4 - SOUTH MESSENGER - <strong>June</strong> 26, <strong>2022</strong><br />
When “Toy Story” made its debut in<br />
1995, some critics and movie snobs brushed<br />
it off as “just another bland animated feature,<br />
but this time with unwanted children’s<br />
toys at the center.” It would eventually<br />
go on to become one of the most critically<br />
renowned and publicly beloved franchises<br />
in the history of cinema.<br />
What made the original and its subsequent<br />
sequels so enduring was its terrific<br />
ensemble of characters, each with their<br />
own outlandish personalities and hidden<br />
vulnerabilities; its relatable story of growing<br />
up and casting aside “childish” things;<br />
and its innate ability to make you peel over<br />
with laugher one minute and then burst<br />
into tears the next.<br />
Although it has been a few years since<br />
the latest film in the series was released<br />
and while there are no current plans to<br />
make a fifth “Toy Story,” the positive public<br />
sentiment remains strong as do the sales of<br />
the toys found within this franchise.<br />
Because Disney is always looking for<br />
ways to milk some more cash out of their<br />
property cows, they have found a loophole<br />
of sorts to make a prequel story (of sorts) to<br />
one of its most popular characters within<br />
the sentient toy franchise.<br />
Enter “Lightyear,” a film that has none<br />
of the all-encompassing warmth of the<br />
franchise on which it is based but nonetheless<br />
still feels like being encompassed by a<br />
nice blanket — albeit one in which tiny dollar<br />
signs copyrighted by Disney are sprinkled<br />
throughout.<br />
To clear up some confusion that may be<br />
lingering from the trailer: this film is not<br />
about the toy character Buzz Lightyear<br />
(originally voiced by Tim Allen), the vainglorious<br />
astronaut action figure that<br />
replaces Sheriff Woody (originally voiced by<br />
Tom Hanks) as Andy Davis’ favorite toy.<br />
Instead, this film is about a film within<br />
that film that inspired the creation of the<br />
toy Buzz Lightyear. Basically, it’s a “Toy<br />
Story-Inception,” but without the aweinspiring<br />
special effects.<br />
In “Lightyear,” the titular character (adequately<br />
voiced by Chris Evans) is a real<br />
human Space Ranger who accidentally<br />
maroons an entire star fleet on an inhospitable<br />
planet and spends the next 60 plus<br />
years coming up with a solution to get them<br />
back home. Due to some hyper-speed trickery,<br />
he only ages a bit during his space jaunts<br />
but his best friend and commander Alisha<br />
Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba) lives out an entire<br />
entertainment<br />
life. In<br />
the blink<br />
of an eye,<br />
he is<br />
alone on<br />
a planet full of strangers,<br />
most not caring about his<br />
ultimate goal to “bring<br />
them back home.”<br />
Because Buzz<br />
Lightyear would not be<br />
Buzz Lightyear without<br />
his missions, he<br />
begrudgingly teams up<br />
with a group of inexperienced<br />
Space Rangers<br />
who are in the battle of their lives against a<br />
ruthless and powerful emperor named Zurg<br />
(voiced by James Brolin). To save his people<br />
— even the ones do not personally care for<br />
him — to find a safe way home, and to defeat<br />
the seemingly undefeatable baddie,<br />
Lightyear must confront his past and own up<br />
to some deeply hidden vulnerabilities that<br />
remind him that not everything can (or<br />
should) be done alone.<br />
By voicing a character who is the apparent<br />
inspiration behind the iconic astronaut<br />
action figure in “Toy Story,” Evans walks a<br />
delicate line with his take on Buzz.<br />
Although he draws from Allen’s iteration of<br />

The July 23 concert will feature Rick<br />
the beloved side-kick Space Ranger, he doesn’t<br />
lean fully into the original take on the<br />
character, playing his human self as much<br />
cooler tempered while still bursting with<br />
bravery, loyalty, and the occasional bout of<br />
selfishness. While that development was a<br />
good thing for this movie, what was not as<br />
good was the lack of depth or attention given<br />
to the side characters, especially the character<br />
of Izzy (Keke Palmer) who shares a connection<br />
with Buzz’s late friend Alisha. I<br />
think had more detail been fleshed out for<br />
her character, the elder convict Darby (Dale<br />
Soules) and the accident prone Mo (Taika<br />
Waititi), this film would have packed more<br />
of an emotional punch, especially when calling<br />
back to the connective tissue that it<br />
shares with the “Toy Story” universe.<br />
Although there are moments of genuine<br />
warmth and humor in “Lightyear,” (the<br />
mechanical companion cat voiced by Peter<br />
Sohn is a real treasure) the thin story and<br />
sometimes clunky dialogue will not make it<br />
as popular or as enduring as the franchise<br />
in which in falls into, but it does have something<br />
sweet to offer for those looking for a<br />
fun escapade “to infinity and beyond.”<br />

The Hamilton Township Rangers varsity volleyball team celebrates another victory.<br />
Ranger volleyball team a success<br />
By Rick Palsgrove<br />
Managing Editor<br />
The Hamilton Township High School varsity volleyball<br />
team had great success last season and hopes to<br />
continue that trend in the future.<br />
The team’s overall record last fall was 19-3 and they<br />
were co-champions of the Mid-State League’s Buckeye<br />
Division with a record of 12-2. The team also did well<br />
in the Central District tournament before falling to<br />
Bloom-Carroll in a five set match.<br />
“The main strength of the team was the starting six<br />
had all been on varsity before so we already knew what<br />
it takes to win and to be successful,” said team co-captain<br />
Grace Green. “Most already won the league being<br />
on the team in the past. Communication was a really<br />
big part of our success as well.”<br />
Green said the Ranger volleyball program is strong.<br />
“I personally, think the future is bright for<br />
Hamilton Township volleyball, but there may be a few<br />
rebuilding years to come,” said Green. “Hamilton<br />

WHY TOOTHPASTE?<br />
Toothpaste not only helps our<br />
teeth look brighter, it has other<br />
helpful purposes. Toothpaste<br />
typically contains a detergent<br />
compound to penetrate and<br />
loosen deposits and stains on<br />
tooth surfaces so they can be<br />
more easily removed during<br />
toothbrushing.<br />
Toothpaste also contains cleaning<br />
and polishing agents to produce<br />
a smooth, shiny surface that<br />
can inhibit the accumulation and<br />
retention of plaque. In addition,<br />
flavoring agents found in toothpaste<br />
can make the mouth and<br />
breath feel clean. Toothpastes<br />
containing fluoride can help<br />
Dr. Kelly<br />
strengthen the teeth’s outer layer<br />
- the enamel - to help prevent<br />
cavity formation.<br />
Some toothpastes have tartarcontrol<br />
properties to minimize<br />
tartar (mineralized plaque)<br />
buildup. Other have special tooth<br />
whitening properties. Some help<br />
reduce tooth sensitivity, and still<br />
others have antimicrobial agents<br />
to help control the bacteria<br />
responsible for gum disease.<br />

SWACO survey<br />
New research from the Solid Waste<br />
Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) shows<br />
central Ohio residents support existing<br />
diversion goals, view recycling and composting<br />
as important in their community,<br />
and desire more opportunities to reduce<br />
their reliance on the county landfill.<br />
In February <strong>2022</strong>, SWACO, working<br />
with Columbus-based EMC Research, conducted<br />
a representative sample survey of<br />
1,300 Franklin County residents inquiring<br />
about their attitudes and behaviors toward<br />
reducing waste and gathering opinions on<br />
local recycling efforts. Ninety-two percent<br />
of residents reported that they believe recycling<br />
reflects well on their community and<br />
that cities and governments should be promoting<br />
recycling and composting. Eightynine<br />
percent of residents support central<br />
Ohio’s efforts to reach 75 percent diversion<br />
by 2032 and an additional 82 percent<br />
believe that recycling and reducing waste<br />
can help reduce the impacts of climate<br />
change on their community.<br />
“Reducing waste, recycling, and using<br />
our resources more efficiently have become<br />
part of the fabric of our community and<br />
these results affirm that residents value<br />
their ability to act sustainably,” said Kyle<br />
O’Keefe, director of innovation and programs<br />
for SWACO.<br />
Furthermore, the majority of residents<br />
find it to be convenient and easy to recycle,<br />
with 66 percent of households reporting<br />
that they make above average efforts to do<br />
so. However, when asked about barriers to<br />
recycling — 74 percent of residents reported<br />
confusion about keeping track of what<br />
items are accepted for recycling.<br />
Franklin County’s residential recycling<br />
program has changed over the last couple of<br />
years, expanding to accept more materials<br />
and placing stronger emphasis on education<br />
about the correct way to recycle. To help<br />
improve recycling confidence, SWACO has<br />
been working with local communities to<br />
deploy the Recycle Right, Make A Difference<br />
campaign which has resulted in documented<br />
improvements in recycling behaviors.<br />
When asked about the specific issue of<br />
food waste — the single largest source of material<br />
in the waste stream — 83 percent of central<br />
Ohioans are concerned about the amount<br />
of food being wasted in our community and<br />
the vast majority support a curbside food<br />
waste collection program for composting.<br />
In recent years, SWACO has launched a<br />
collaborative food waste initiative to help<br />
combat food waste throughout the region<br />
which has led to the development of new<br />
services and programs such as publicly<br />
available drop-offs for food scraps and the<br />
launching of the Save More Than Food<br />
campaign. SWACO is currently working<br />
with regional communities to explore the<br />
development of new composting infrastructure<br />
that would help to enhance food waste<br />
diversion efforts and enable curbside collection<br />
programs.<br />
Residents also expressed a strong desire<br />
to see the private sector prioritize sustainability<br />
with 73 percent of residents reporting<br />
a greater likelihood to shop at businesses<br />
that use environmentally friendly products<br />
and recycle or compost their waste,<br />
while 78 percent of residents stated they<br />
believe businesses should be required to<br />
offer recycling to customers and employees,<br />
and an additional 80 percent desire to see<br />
recycling or composting efforts started or<br />
improved in their place of work or school.<br />
“Supporting the private sector to<br />
strengthen their waste reduction and<br />
diversion efforts remains one of the biggest<br />
opportunities for our region. More and<br />
more companies recognize that sustainability<br />
and reducing waste have to be a core<br />
part of their business, and we’re here to<br />
help them,” said O’Keefe.<br />
In the upcoming months, SWACO will<br />
be launching new programs and funding to<br />
help businesses establish best practices for<br />
recycling and waste reduction.<br />
Reaching the region’s diversion goals is<br />
possible only through collaboration<br />
between residents, business owners and<br />
both the public and private sectors, so data<br />
collected through the public opinion poll is<br />
critical to better understanding the barriers<br />
and opportunities to move forward.<br />
While, the Franklin County Sanitary<br />
Landfill, owned by SWACO, receives more<br />
than a million tons of material every year,<br />
the vast majority of those items have the<br />
potential to be diverted either through programs<br />
existing today or with the introduction<br />
of new infrastructure and programs<br />
for which SWACO is already advancing<br />
plans.<br />

Rail expansion<br />
www.columbusmessenger.com<br />
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is an<br />
opportunity to make Ohio more prosperous.<br />
The bill includes the most funding for<br />
Amtrak since its founding in 1970. The<br />
Columbus region is the largest region without<br />
passenger railroad service in the country.<br />
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning<br />
Commission (MORPC) and the Columbus<br />
Partnership formed a group of public and<br />
private sector leaders to prepare for the<br />
expansion of passenger rail in the<br />
Columbus region. With significant population<br />
centers, growing rural areas and<br />
cities, and major investments in economic<br />
development, Ohio and the Columbus<br />
region represent the best business case for<br />
new passenger rail routes and service in<br />
the country, according to a statement<br />
released by MORPC and the Columbus<br />
Partnership.<br />
Recently, the Federal Railroad<br />
Administration released guidance for their<br />
Corridor Identification Program.<br />
According to the statement released by<br />
MORPC and the Columbus Partnership,<br />
“We are encouraged by Governor DeWine’s<br />
request to the Ohio Rail Development<br />
Commission to engage with Amtrak to<br />
determine the feasibility and cost of routes.<br />
We stand ready to compete for this investment<br />
in our growing region and look forward<br />
to being briefed by the Ohio Rail<br />
Development Commission on these efforts.”

Groveport’s Fourth of<br />
July celebration is back<br />
By Rick Palsgrove<br />
Managing Editor<br />
Groveport really knows how to celebrate<br />
the Fourth of July.<br />
This year’s celebration features the traditional<br />
Main Street parade, music, food<br />
vendors, kids’ activities, and fireworks on<br />
July 4.<br />
“This year’s celebration will be bigger<br />
and better with the addition of more than<br />
10 food vendors, four different musical<br />
acts, and elevated kids activities,” said<br />
Groveport Community Affairs Department<br />
Executive Assistant Kristiauna Trelay.<br />
“New this year will be a video game truck<br />
that accommodates 16 to 20 people playing<br />
the latest games individually or all at<br />
once.”<br />
The Main Street parade will start at 11<br />
a.m. on July 4. Staging for the parade will<br />
be at the Groveport Recreation Center. The<br />
parade will start at Richardson Road and<br />
travel west on Main Street, then turn right<br />
onto Hendron Road and end at Glendening<br />
Elementary.<br />
Mayor Lance Westcamp announced this<br />
year’s parade grand marshal will be John<br />
Hougland, a retired pharmacist who operated<br />
the Groveport Pharmacy on Main<br />
Street for many years and who also served<br />
as a city councilman.<br />
“John has been a big part of our community<br />
for many years and he was especially<br />
helpful during his time on city council,”<br />
said Westcamp. “He is well deserving of<br />
this honor. He has done a lot for this community.”<br />
Added Trelay, “Former Councilman<br />
John Hougland is well known in the community.<br />
He’s a former local business owner<br />
and a very active resident.”<br />
The fireworks will be launched at dusk<br />
on July 4 from Palm Pond in Heritage Park<br />
on Wirt Road. Tune into radio frequency<br />
88.3 to hear background music during the<br />
fireworks.<br />
“Groveport has one of the best fireworks<br />
displays in the area,” said Trelay.<br />
Musical entertainment on July 4 begins<br />
on the main stage, located in the parking<br />
lot of Crooked Alley KidSpace, with Krash<br />
Landing from 2-3:30 p.m.; Whiskey Ridge<br />
from 4-5:30 p.m.; Ryder Band from 6-7:30<br />
p.m.; and Willie Nelson Mandela from 8-<br />
9:45 p.m.<br />
Summer is here and its the season for<br />
calls about orphaned and abandoned animals.<br />
Metro Parks is unable to rehabilitate<br />
wildlife, but there are some steps you can<br />
take.<br />
According to Metro Parks officials, if<br />
you find an animal in a park that is<br />
orphaned, abandoned, or injured, leave it<br />
alone and call the ranger cell number, posted<br />
on bulletin boards and around the park.<br />

The city of Groveport celebrates the<br />
Fourth of July in a big way each year with<br />
a parade down Main Street, music, fun<br />
activities, and fireworks. Pictured here is<br />
the American Legion Robert Dutro Post<br />
486 honor guard that lead last year’s<br />
parade.<br />
“All kids’ activities will be set up in the<br />
grassy area by the baseball fields off Wirt<br />
Road,” said Trelay.<br />
Food vendors will also be located along<br />
Wirt Road.<br />
“Food vendors must be in place by 9 a.m.<br />
and will be serving once they have set up in<br />
the parking lot behind Birch Tavern,” said<br />
Trelay.<br />
The kids’ parade will take place July 4<br />
with staging at 10 a.m. in the Middle<br />
School Central parking lot. Kid can decorate<br />
their bikes, wagons, and scooters in<br />
red, white, and blue. The kids’ parade<br />
begins at 10:30 a.m. at Middle School<br />
Central, 751 Main St., then proceeds west<br />
on Main Street, south on Oak Street to<br />
Crooked Alley Alley KidSpace, 630 Wirt<br />
Road.<br />
Per a city ordinance, no animals are permitted<br />
in the festival event areas at any<br />
time during the city’s Fourth of July celebration.<br />
Sometimes, babies are left alone while<br />
mom is looking for food, and will return to<br />
the nest, other times they will require care<br />
or monitoring. Do not take them out of the<br />
park.<br />
If you find an animal in your yard, leave<br />
it be. Call the Ohio Wildlife Center 614-<br />
793-9453 and leave a message, or visit<br />
their website at ohiowildlifecenter.org for<br />
information on how to help.<br />
