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 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 />
