Public comment changes 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Changes could be coming affecting public comment during council 

meetings following recommendations by the rules committee. 

During Canal Winchester City Council’s Aug. 15 meeting, Councilwoman 

Laurie Amick discussed an ordinance potentially reducing 

the speaking period from five to three minutes, amending the 

sign-in policy, and eliminating reading online comments. 

“Are agendas are growing and sometimes we’ve been pushing the 

11 p.m. forced adjournment,” said Amick in presenting recommendations. 

“This would allow council more time for discussion and debate 

of agenda items. It encourages a speaker to be articulate and 

concise with the message they wish to convey.” 

The rules committee also proposed requiring speakers to not only 

sign their name and address before the start of the meeting, but to 

also include the topic, related ordinance or resolution they want to 

discuss with council. 

“This allows the chair to maintain a decorum and efficiency during 

the public comment portion of the meeting and allows council 

to know who is speaking, where they live and the topic they wish to 

address,” said Amick. “Sitting here as a council member, sometimes 

I don’t know who is speaking and it helps me with my frame of reference.” 

The sign-in sheet would be located at the entrance to council 

chambers and collected by the clerk prior to the start of the meeting. 

There was also a request for digital, online speaker sign-up. 

The rules committee also responded to prior requests to read 

comments aloud that are submitted digitally prior to the start of 

council meetings.

Staff Writer 

The 100th anniversary of Canal Winchester’s Labor Day Festival 

and return of the three-day event after a two-year hiatus is cause 

for a celebration. 

Food, rides, a car show, activities for all ages and entertainment–including 

nationally-recognized singer and musician Uncle 

Kracker–will fill the streets of downtown Sept. 3-5 and draw more 

than 30,000 people to the city over the course of the festival, which 

is free and open to the public. 

“This is our 100th Labor Day Festival,” said festival committee 

Vice-President Mike Coolman. “We have one of the longest running 

festivals in Ohio. Though the event has changed greatly over the 

many years, longtime residents love the memories of going as a 

child to the event, then taking their children and then grandchildren. 

It is a part of our city’s history and our city's charm.” 

According to Coolman, changes were made this year to accommodate 

more seating for entertainment and to offer something different 

for both younger and older children. 

“We're very excited to be bringing a mechanical bull ride to the 

event, as well as a zip line, and Ninja Warrior obstacle course as 

well,” said Coolman. “Some of the favorites that are returning are 

our long-time food vendors such as Amish Donuts and Jimmy Jawbreakers 

and the beer garden as well. Labor Day weekend in Canal 

Winchester is when most of the class reunions take place, and the 

groups love to gather in the beer garden throughout the festival.” 

Planning for the 2022 event started in the fall of 2021. The committee 

had no idea, as with the past two years, whether they would 

be able to carry out their plans because it takes almost a full year 

to put together an endeavor as large as the Labor Day Festival. 

By February of this year, Coolman said committee members 

were fairly certain they could host the centennial festival even 

though COVID had not disappeared, but numbers weren't rising 

dramatically either. 

“Because this is our 100th Labor Day event, we knew we wanted 

to bring in nationally well-known entertainers,” said Coolman. 

“Once the committee chose who they wished to bring in, contract 

negotiations began. While this is going on, the committee is also 

busy listening to and discussing other entertainers we wish to hire 

to play during the festival. By November, we began reaching out to 

various food trucks, ride vendors and possible parade participants. 

We work on these areas right up to the month before the festival 

sometimes.” 

Although the festival is free to the public, sponsorships, individual 

contributions, and grant money from a variety of sources fund 

the average $70,000 price tag for the three-day event. 

This year the costs are higher because Uncle Kracker is performing 

and a larger stage is needed to meet his needs and to create a 

larger viewing area for his concert. 

“We don't charge admission,” said Coolman. “Our entertainment 

has always been free and will be free again this year.” 

The festival schedule: 

Sept. 3, 4, 5 

•Municipal Complex, Eyes of Freedom Memorial: Memorial panels 

honoring the sacrifice of 22 Marines and one Navy Corpsman of 

Lima Company, open festival hours.

“They are a matter of public record,” said Amick. 

“They are published with the council packet. Anyone 

can read them at any time including prior to the start 

of the council meeting. The recommendation on the 

table is that we no longer read those public comments 

submitted electronically in advance.” 

Chamber of Commerce seeks help 

The Chamber of Commerce is turning to the city to 

help the organization facilitate a five-year strategic plan 

by providing financial support in adding a full time employee. 

With city support, and a candidate already in mind, 

the position would focus on strategic planning, increasing 

membership, and creating meaningful and intentional 

training and certification opportunities for 

members, while keeping membership costs and sponsorship 

opportunities affordable for the business community. 

In its proposal to the council, the chamber anticipates 

offering an initial 90-day, $9,000 contract sourced 

primarily through the organization’s emergency fund, 

while working through funding opportunities with the 

city. 

“I commend the chamber for doing an excellent job 

in crafting their request,” said Amick. 

Chamber representative Kristin Ankrom said some 

chambers receive financial support from cities, but generally 

fundraising and membership fees keep chambers 

afloat. 

“We have realized over the last five years we are undercharging 

for membership, undercharging for events, 

and those are things we don’t want to change right 

away,” said Ankrom. “We want to keep our members 

and knowing that a lot of them are small business owners, 

we don’t want to increase the cost. Having that full 

time person, they would be constantly out in the community, 

at events, going into businesses. They would be 

the face of the chamber of commerce.” 

Semi-annual reviews would be conducted with council 

to update the city on the organization’s progress towards 

its goals. 

The chamber is asking for a three-year commitment 

from the city. The total base salary, benefits, training, 

etc. for the full time position is estimated at $64,160; 

year two is $66,845; and year three is $68,580. 

LABOR DAY 

www.columbusmessenger.com 

According to the proposal, the average salary for an 

executive director in Ohio was $78,590 as of June 28, 

2022, but the range typically falls between $60,580 and 

$97,067. Salary ranges can vary widely depending on 

the city and other factors, including education, certifications, 

additional skills and the number of years spent 

in the profession. 

The organization currently has a parttime paid position. 

While Amos said there is value in a Chamber of Commerce, 

she said she struggles with the proposal because 

many of the city’s downtown businesses are not members 

of the local chamber. 

“We have a downtown association. We have a restaurant 

association,” said Amos. “Will they be next in line 

to ask us for similar things to support them. A lot of our 

downtown businesses have come to us asking for grant 

money. I’m just wondering if this opens us up for potential 

concerns. We have to find a balance.” 

Over the last five years, the Canal Winchester 

Chamber has taken steps to streamline their scope by 

eliminating overlapping efforts with the city’s workforce 

development and Destination: Canal Winchester; grew 

membership by eight percent; and had enough money 

in savings to fund fixed business expenses for one year. 

“We want our business community to thrive,” said 

Ankrom. “We want the chamber to be a support and advocate 

for our businesses. We all want to see that 

growth.” 

Council will continue discussion on the chamber’s 

proposal. 

Property purchase 

A tabled ordinance purchasing 20 S. High St. from 

owner Donald Moody was brought back for action after 

an environmental impact study was conducted. 

While Development Director Lucas Haire said there 

is some soil contamination, the site is not required to 

undergo remediation. Due to the contamination, the approved 

purchase price was renegotiated from $280,000 

to $230,000. 

“It’s important we take control and get that cleaned 

up for our future,” said Amos, who also said the city has 

access to more resources than a citizen purchasing the 

site privately.

Bakers to display their talents at annual pie contest 


Staff Writer 

The Canal Winchester Area Historical 

Society is turning back the hands of time to 

an age when taking the top prize in a baking 

competition was an honor awarded to the 

best baker in town. 

“When the city announced last year that 

they were going to create Hometown Day, 

the historical society wanted to create an 

event that replicated what you used to see 

at fairs around the nation,” said Society Secretary 

Jill Amos. “That is where the pie contest 

came into play and what better event to 

have it at but the ice cream social. The contest 

was well received and we are still hosting 

the ice-cream social so it seemed like a 

great idea to repeat the event.” 

Bakers across the city are invited to vie 

for top honors again this year by turning 

simple, everyday ingredients into a blue-ribbon 

worthy pie in the organization’s second 

annual Pie Contest on Sept. 4 during the 

city’s Labor Day Festival. 

Amos said there were eight pies entered 

in the 2021 competition, with two people 

submitting more than one pie. Vangie 

Barnes took home the coveted blue ribbon 

last year. 

“We had such a wide range of pies from 

fruit to custard pies,” said Amos. 

During the contest, bakers bring their 

covered pies to a table where they are issued 

a number. Judges are later brought over to 

start evaluating the pies on appearance, 

color, texture, bake and flavor, in addition 

to other judging criteria. 

The pie contest, which is open to bakers 

of all ages, is held outside and located next 

to the historical society’s ice-cream social, 

which starts at 1 p.m. at 10 W. Oak St., is 

free and open to the public. 

Pies must be entered by the person who 

made the pie and contestants may enter up 

to two pies. Entries must be completely 

homemade and based on a 9-10 inch pie 

plate. No store bought pies, crusts, or fillings 

may be used. A complete recipe must 

be included with the entry and pies should 

be made in a clean and safe environment. 

“Our judges are volunteers from around 

the community that are selected prior to the 

event,” said Amos. “Each judge is asked to 

try a bite of each pie. Last year, several 

judges had to sample twice to get to the final 

choices. There were no bad pies submitted 

last year, which made judging even more 

challenging.” 

Pie contest entries must be dropped off 

between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m., with judging 

starting around 2:15 p.m. 

According to Amos, there is only one blue 

ribbon/category, but if the contest continues 

to grow, the society could expand the competition 

accordingly in the future. 

Vangie Barnes was the 2021 winner of a blue ribbon in a Labor Day Festival piebaking 

competition sponsored by the local historical society.

Canal Winchester’s Nolan Frey prepares to make a putt at a recent tournament. 

Frey excels on golf course 

By Rick Palsgrove 

Managing Editor 

Nolan Frey has had a successful summer 

on the golf course and is looking for 

even bigger things ahead. 

The Canal Winchester High School 

senior, who is in his third year of playing 

varsity golf, has prepared for the upcoming 

high school golf season by playing in 

tournaments around the state this summer. 

He placed second in the Columbus 

Parks and Recreation junior amateur 

event at the Airport Golf Course carding a 

74. 

“He has been playing well and slowly 

moving up leaderboards, but finally 

caught fire,” said his father Barry Frey. 

On July 25, Nolan won a Licking 

County junior amateur event at Clover 

Valley firing a plus four (76). Later he 

traveled to Portage County where he 

started the final round three shots back of 

the leader Reece Davis, a Mogadore High 

School graduate and alumni of their golf 

team. The tournament was played at Kent 

State University’s home course Windmill 

Lakes and Sunny Hill Golf Course. Nolan 

rallied for a two shot victory in the Matt 

Mishler Portage County Junior Amateur. 

“Nolan has been swinging a golf club 

since he could walk and joined the Canal 

Winchester Middle School club team in 

eighth grade,” said Barry. “By the end of 

freshman year he was hooked on the 

sport. He worked with Bob Brokaw, a PGA 

pro, a few times at Westerville Golf Center 

before Brokaw retired.” 

In the first Canal Winchester varsity 

golf match of year on Aug. 5, Nolan shot a 

76 and finished tied for seventh in Pickerington 

Invitational at Turnberry, two 

shots back (the winner shot 74). The invitational 

included 22 schools and 132 participants. 

Nolan shot a plus one 73 in the Ohio 

Capital Conference event at Apple Valley 

and tied for first place with Michael Murray 

from Westerville South. He is coached 

by Rick Maharry. 

Nolan said he enjoys the challenge of 

golf. 

“I like the mental aspects, the idea that 

it’s just you against the course and that ultimately 

your success depends on your 

ability to execute,” said Nolan.

Watching for the signs of the seasons 

As summer steams along toward its midpoint, 

I start to look for my purple pal in the 

countryside. 

Specifically, while I am out riding my bicycle 

on the paths of Three Creeks Metro 

Park, my eye scans the meadows as I watch 

for my annual, colorful friend to appear. 

By mid-summer, June’s wildflowers 

have had their day in the sun and have 

waned. The soft, lush bright green grasses 

of spring have transformed into sturdy, 

more coarse blades of faded green as the 

sun ekes away their moisture. The plants in 

the meadows are all taller as July rolls by, 

but their height does not match the glory of 

what is to come. 

In years past, I would not expect to see 

my friend in the fields until August, but in 

recent times I have noticed it gracing the 

meadows in late July. 

I watch for it with each bike ride as July 

begins to blend into August. Then, on July 

26, I saw it, along with many of its purple 

brethren, gracing one of the big meadows of 

Three Creeks Metro Park. Ironweed - big, 

bright, beautiful, and bold - its royal purple 

blooms standing out amongst all the green 

of the fields. 

Ironweed is a tall wildflower that can 

grow three to eight feet high. It’s a naturally 

occurring flower and gets its name 

from its strong stem. It attracts butterflies, 

bees, and other pollinators. 

Ironweed is a seasonal marker for me 

Editor’s Notebook 

along with lightning 

bugs in June; Resurrection 

Lilies (which I 

inaccurately call Day 

Lilies because they 

Rick 

Palsgrove 

shoot up from the ground so fast) in July or 

August; Goldenrod in September; pumpkins 

in October; and Peonies in spring. 

Another seasonal clock marker for me is 

noticing how the angle of sunlight changes 

bit by bit from month to month and the 

amount of daylight changes as the solar system 

spins around in its cosmic dance. 

But the first sight of Ironweed remains 

special for me. It is an example of beauty 

and strength. Its bloom lasts a while giving 

each successive bike ride a visual treat. 

When its magnificent purple bloom 

fades, I know that summer is slipping into 

autumn. But as I continue to bike the Three 

Creeks Bike path into the fall and early 

winter, the Ironweed’s spent tall stem remains 

as a promise that it’s glorious bloom 

was once there and that it will return again 

when the air is steamy, the bugs are 

buzzing, and the sun is high in the sky.

Lautenschleger joins CW Schools 

A new director of curriculum for elementary 

grades will join the Canal Winchester 

Schools Leadership Team this fall, bringing 

experience and perspective as a principal, 

teacher, and leader in the private sector 

serving education institutions to the district. 

Craig Lautenschleger will work collaboratively 

with the district’s curriculum team 

to support teachers and students through 

design, implementation, and evaluation of 

high-quality curriculum. 

“Craig has a proven record of supporting 

educators as a school administrator and 

brings unique skills and perspectives to the 

district from his work as a private sector 

leader in the educational service industry,” 

said Canal Winchester Schools Superintendent 

Kiya Hunt. “His ability to build relationships, 

collaborative nature, and fresh 

ideas will be a great addition to our leadership 

team and our district.” 

Lautenschleger began his career as a 

fourth grade teacher at New Albany Intermediate 

School and then served as that district’s 

Community Arts Coordinator. In 

2008, he transitioned into educational leadership 

roles, serving as a building principal 

at River Valley Local Schools, Teays Valley 

Local Schools, Marysville Exempted Village 

Schools, and Columbus City Schools. 

In 2015, he began his tenure in the private 

sector as vice president of EnvisionEd- 

Plus. In this position, he collaborated with 

schools to redesign innovative programs or 

re-envision existing schools, create sustainable 

structures for instructional support, 


provide professional development to administrators 

and teachers, and served on numerous 

Ohio Department of Education 

committees. In 2020, Lautenschleger became 

the National Strategy Officer for Modern 

Teacher, LLC. In this role, he facilitated 

goal setting, visioning, and on-going consultation 

for education leadership teams and 

provided best-practice leadership and professional 

development for educators. 

“Being a part of the Canal Winchester 

Local Schools team is an honor,” said Lautenschleger. 

“Throughout my career, I have 

focused on empowering teachers, principals, 

and leaders so that they can support their 

students in the best ways possible, and I’m 

excited to join a district that shares that 

commitment through their mission. Making 

a difference for the students of Canal Winchester 

is what it's all about!” 

The Canal Winchester Board of Education 

approved hiring Lautenschleger at a 

special meeting on July 28. His hiring is the 

final piece in restructuring administrative 

roles in the district following Superintendent 

Jim Sotlar’s resignation. 

Lautenschleger fills the position of 

Cyndi Toledo, who is now the director of 

human resources for the district, taking on 

many of the personnel and hiring responsibilities 

previously performed by the assistant 

superintendent. He is joined on the

According to a 2021 National Retail 

Foundation (NRF) back-to-school shopping 

survey, American families can spend an average 

of $850 on back-to-school supplies. Regardless 

of your income, that can be painful 

to your pocket. 

If you’re on a tight budget, finding extra 

money for backpacks, lunch boxes, and laptops 

can be stressful. SWACO has some tips 

to help make back-to-school greener and 

more affordable. 

Reuse Items 

•While it can be a thrill to buy new supplies 

at the start of each school year, it’s better 

for your wallet and the environment to 

reuse what you already have on hand. Before 

heading to the store, inventory last 

year’s supplies to see what is still in good 

working condition, versus buying everything 

new. 

•Kids grow fast, so it’s not always possible 

to continue to wear last year’s school 

clothes or reuse sports equipment. Before 

buying new, check local secondhand stores 

for greener (and cheaper) options. For families 

who find themselves in need this year, 

organizations like Charity Newsies provide 

clothes and supplies free of charge. 

•If you have to buy new, look for sustainable 

school supplies, like notebooks made 

with recycled paper or plantable pencils. 

And remember to recycle any cardboard 

packaging (like shoe boxes) or paper in a 

curbside or drop-off recycling container. 

•Consider buying used tech (computers, 

laptops, tablets) from retailers that sell used 

or refurbished equipment. If you’d like to donate 

your old tech, learn more about 

SWACO’s E-Waste Diversion program at 

swaco.org. 

Sustainable Lunches 

•Ditch the brown paper bags and pack 

lunch in a reuseable lunch box along with a 

BPA-free water bottle and reusable or 

biodegradable utensils. 

•We know kids love their snacks, but to 

reduce packaging waste, avoid pre-packaged 

foods and opt for whole foods instead, 

like fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, whole 

grains, meat, fish and eggs. 

•Encourage your child to bring home 

leftover food. Food scraps like apple cores 

and banana peels can be brought back home 

to be composted, and uneaten food can be 

reused for dinner or tomorrow’s lunch. 

Hit the Road 

•If you live close enough to school, consider 

walking or biking. For those who may 

be too young to go on their own, consider organizing 

a “walkpool” with rotating parent 

chaperones for a group of kids each week. 

•For those who live further out and can’t 

take the bus, organize a group of families to 

participate in a neighborhood carpool, alternating 

on a regular basis. 

Following these simple recommendations 

will support a safer and more environmentally 

friendly start to the school year.

Mosquito management 

The city of Canal Winchester contracts 

with Franklin County Public Health for 

mosquito control. 

Franklin County Public Health takes a 

proactive, concentrated approach to mosquito 

management. The agency’s Integrated 

Pest Management Program focuses on prevention, 

education, and controlling pests at 

their most vulnerable stage while minimizing 

hazards to the environment. Data about 

mosquito breeding locations, areas that traditionally 

have high adult mosquito populations, 

and the frequency and distribution of 

mosquito-borne diseases throughout 

Franklin County is regularly monitored and 

treatments are applied when appropriate. 

The city’s Urban Forestry Department 

will begin routine random larval mosquito 

surveys in late May 2022, providing documentation 

of mosquito production as a basis 

for treatment. Native fathead minnows may 

be released by the City as an aquatic biological 

larval control, possibly offering some decrease 

in local adult mosquito populations. 

Residents can help by reporting areas 

that they suspect may be mosquito breeding 

grounds and by reporting increases in adult 

mosquito activity to Franklin County Public 

Health. Mosquitoes breed easily in standing 

water. Check for and drain any standing 

water around your home to help control the 

mosquito population. 

Common and easily overlooked mosquito 

habitats include: tires, buckets, cans, bottles, 

and plastic containers; bird baths 

(drain and refill every 3-4 days); wading or 

kiddie pools (drain and refill frequently); 

pools and hot tubs (keep chlorinated, covered, 

or keep completely dry); pool covers 

that hold water; boats, boat covers, and 

tarps; pet food containers and water dishes; 

clogged gutters and downspouts; leaky outside 

faucets that create puddles; rain barrels 

that are not properly screened or 

treated; low areas that form puddles and 

hold water; planters and pots, including 

saucers and catch trays; trash cans (use 

tight fitting lids and keep them covered); 

mature trees that have developed holes that 

hold water — fill the voids with sand; anything 

that has the potential to hold even 

small amounts of water. 

Information about Franklin County Public 

Health’s mosquito management program 

and a form report an area of concern is 

available online at mosquito.myfcph.org or 

by calling Franklin County Public Health’s 

Mosquito Bite Line at (614)525-BITE 

(2483).

Sink your teeth into “Day Shift” 

While the mining of stories in the well-worn book on 

vampiric lore has never truly gone out of style within 

the entertainment industry, there has been a shift in 

recent years to make these creatures of darkness more 

humorous, and thus more palatable, to the masses. 

However, there comes a time when the fan of the vampire 

wishes to see something that is edgier than these 

undead lightweights, but still wants the offering to 

maintain an overall sense of dangerous and mischievous 

fun. 

Enter “Day Shift,” a new Netflix original that attempts 

to bring back a more serious type of vampire, but 

not one that is so serious that it makes you dream of 

closing a lid on your still breathing body just to escape 

the banality (see, or rather don’t see, “30 Days of 

Night”). In this film, the majority of the vampires rarely 

speak; instead, they use their rapidly contorting bodies 

to inflict harm, horror, and a healthy dose of humor on 

the audience and on those who dare try to kill them in 

this bizarrely entertaining new universe. 

Leading the charge on those who dare try to kill 

them is Bud Jablonski (Jamie Foxx), a hard-working 

guy who just wants to provide a better life for his 8-yearold 

daughter Paige (Zion Broadnax). On his resume — 

one he freely admits should be updated and sent out to 

more reputable businesses — he is a long-serving and 

committed cleaner of swimming pools in the San Fernando 

Valley but it turns out this is just a front to hide 

his primary source of income: hunting and killing the 

vampires who reside in his beloved city. 

In this world, killing vampires is a business — slayers 

earn cash by selling the fangs of the vamps they slaughter. 

And although Bud tends to kill a lot of them, his 

wallet and his savings are not displaying his financial 

rewards. This lack is due to the revoking of his membership 

in the international vampire hunting union and 

the low-ball figures he gets from black market dealers. 

Upon finding out that his ex-wife plans to relocate to 

Florida with their daughter in order to save money, Bud 

knows that the only thing that he can do to keep them 

in California is to try to get his union job back and kill 

a bunch of vampires in the process — but by the book 

this time. Although Bud figures the latter will not pose 

an issue, he soon discovers that there are human and 

Blood drive 

Did you know about 62 percent of the U.S. population 

is eligible to give blood, but, only about 3 percent does? 

By making an appointment to help save lives with 

the American Red Cross in August, donors can pump up 

the blood supply and keep it from falling to shortage levels. 

Platelet donors are especially needed now. 

As a thank-you, all who come to give Aug. 1-31 will 

be automatically entered for a chance to win gas for a 

year, a $6,000 value. There will be three lucky winners. 

Everyone who comes to give blood or platelets in August 

will also receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of 

choice. Donors can schedule an appointment to give 

using the Red Cross Blood Donor app, by visiting Red- 

CrossBlood.org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800- 

733-2767). 

The next local blood drive will be in Groveport on 

Aug. 29 from 1-7 p.m. at St Mary’s Church Groveport, 

5684 Groveport Road. 

Road closure 

Per the Franklin County Engineer’s office, Hayes 

Road between the intersection of Pontius Road and 

Hayes Road and 7186 Braun Road will be closed for 60 

days starting July 25 for road widening and resurfacing. 

The Reel Deal 

not-so-human complications at play 

on his mission to earn money for 

fangs. The human complication 

comes in the form of Seth (Dave 

Franco), a quasi-babysitter from the 

union who is meant to oversee his 

work and write down all of the code 

violations, and the not-so-human 

complication comes in the form of 

Audrey San Fernando (Karla 

Souza), a feared vampiress who is 

not at all impressed with Bud’s 


Dedra 

Cordle 

slaughtering of her kin and the bloody mess he leaves 

behind in his wake. 

Although it is hard to find originality within the 

vampire genre — the undead creatures of the night have 

been around for more than a century and there have 

been just as many interpretations in books, film and television 

shows throughout — this film feels familiar yet 

creatively fresh, and that is due in large part to the 

smart script by Tyler Tice and Shay Hatten that is so 

well-played by Foxx and Franco. 

I have to admit that I wasn’t really feeling this movie 

until the 30 minute mark when Bud and Seth meet for 

the first time. While impressed with the fight choreography 

that takes place prior to this event, the human 

action was lagging until these two started butting heads 

and jockeying to see who could chew the most scenery. 

Though this film likely could have stood on its own with 

this clever script, it is these two who really made it so 

effortlessly entertaining. 

While this film doesn’t always stick the landing or 

pull off plot beats the way it wants to, “Day Shift” is a 

terrific combination of humor, ferocity, and fun. And although 

it won’t be for every fan of the vampire, I think 

it will be a good time for those looking to sink their teeth 

into a fresh action horror that packs a bit of a punch.

Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools announced 

its 2022-23 program year policy for Free and 

Reduced Price Meals for students unable to pay the full 

price of meals served under the National School Lunch 

and School Breakfast Program. 

Each school office and the central office has a copy of 

the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested 

party. 

The Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines will be 

used to determine eligibility. Children from families 

whose annual income is at or below the federal guidelines 

are eligible for free and reduced-price meals. 

Application forms are distributed to all homes in a 

letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free and reduced-price 

benefits, households should complete an application 

and return it to the school. Additional copies 

are available at the principal’s office in each school. A 

complete application is required. Households that currently 

receive Special Nutrition Assistance Program 

Benefits or Ohio Works First funds for a child must provide 

the child’s name, the SNAP or OWF case number 

and signature of an adult household member on the application. 

Households that do not receive SNAP or OWF 

funds must provide the names of all household members, 

the last four digits of the Social Security Number 

of the adult signing the application or state “none” if the 

adult does not have a Social Security Number, the 

amount and source of income received by each household 

member (state the monthly income) and the signature 

of an adult household member. If any of this 

information is missing, the school cannot process the application. 

Families with children eligible for school meals may 

be eligible for free health care coverage through Medicaid 

and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start & Healthy Families 

programs. These programs include coverage for doctor 

visits, immunizations, physicals, prescriptions, dental, 

vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Call 

1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an 

application. Information can also be found on the web 

at http://jfs.ohio.gov/ohp/consumers/familychild.stm. 

Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving 

these services. 

The information provided on the application is confidential 

and will only be used for the purpose to determine 

eligibility and may be verified at any time during 

the school year by school or other program officials. To 

discourage the possibility of misrepresentation, the application 

forms contain a statement above the space for 

signature certifying that all information furnished is 

true and correct. Applications are being made in connection 

with the receipt of federal funds. Schools or other 

officials may check the information on the application at 

any time during the school year. Deliberate misrepresentation 

of information may subject the applicant to 

prosecution under applicable state and federal laws. 

Households will be notified of the approval or denial 

of benefits. 

Foster children are categorically eligible for free meal 

benefits regardless of the household’s income. If a family 

has foster children living with them and wishes to apply 

for such meals or milk for them, contact the school for 

more information. 

Under the provision of the policy, Eastland-Fairfield 

Career & Technical Schools will review applications and 

determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian disagrees 

with the decision on the application or the result of verification, 

the decision may be discussed with the determining 

official on an informal basis. If a formal appeal 

is desired, the household has the right to a fair hearing. 

A fair hearing can be requested either orally or in writing

ADVISORY 

The National Trade Association 

we belong to has 

purchased the following 

classifieds. Determining 

the value of their service 

or product is advised by 

this publication. In order 

to avoid misunderstandings, 

some advertisers do 

not offer “employment” 

but rather supply the 

readers with manuals, directories 

and other materials 

designed to help 

their clients establish mail 

order selling and other 

businesses at home. Under 

NO circumstance 

should you send any 

money in advance or give 

the client your checking, 

license ID or credit card 

numbers. Also beware of 

ads that claim to guarantee 

loans regardless of 

credit and note that if a 

credit repair company 

does business only over 

the phone it’s illegal to request 

any money before 

delivering its service. All 

funds are based in US 

dollars. Toll Free numbers 

may or may not 

reach Canada. Please
