truly a family,” said Kalinowski,
who was named First team Ohio
Athletic Conference and an Academic
All-OAC athlete. “I love every
single one of my teammates and
coaches and I will forever. The
biggest difference between high
school and college football is the independence.
Our staff relies on us to
be responsible young men and we
are supposed to do everything the
right way. College football is an electric
atmosphere no matter what the
level is and I recommend every
young player to take the opportunity
if it is gifted to them. I wouldn’t
be where I am today without Heidelberg
football.”
Now a registered nurse, Kalinowski’s
class load is less and he
only works 25 hours a week during
football season. Kalinowski, who
wears number 68 and is an offensive
linesman on the Heidelberg team,
said the toughest thing was adjusting
to the night shift at work, but he
loves his job.

CW Schools State Report Card results
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
The news was good when Canal Winchester Local
Schools opened up its state report card for the 2021-22
school year, considering the district was battling the effects
of a global pandemic dating back to 2020.
“I am happy to report the district has met or exceeded
state expectations for learning across the board,”
said Superintendent Kiya Hunt during a Sept. 19 board
meeting. “This is due to our students, teacher and staff
dedication over the last two years to recover from the
interruptions and setbacks due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
We are proud to see continued excellence in gap
closing and exceeding progress expectations.”

In moving forward, Hunt said her staff will closely
review the report card data and identify areas where
there is room for improvement.
According to the Ohio Department of Education, the
district met five out of five standards in Gap Closing,
which measures reductions in educational gaps for student
subgroups. The score significantly exceeds state
standards.
Canal Winchester’s Graduation Rate and Progress
(a measure of student growth) met four out of five standards
and exceeds the state standard. The district met
three out of five standards for Achievement–student
performance on state tests–and Early Literacy, grades
kindergarten through third grade.

that members of the public have the ability to reach out
to council members individually or collectively and
make their voices heard anytime they wish. Whereas,
Boggs pointed out, council members have a limited
amount of time to speak to each other as a public body.
“If you can say something in five minutes, you can
say it in three if you narrow your comments down to
what you’re there for instead of rambling,” said Coun-

cilman Bob Clark. “I think you can get things across in
three minutes.”
Councilman Chuck Milliken said there are opportunities
to be more lenient with the time limit instead of
being more stringent.
“The meetings where we had 20 to 30 people wanting
to talk about warehouses is not an appropriate time to
extend public comments,” said Milliken.
“If you love something
you will do anything to
make it work,” said Kalinowski,
who wants to further
his education as a
pediatric nurse practitioner
or go to medical school. “I
have always wanted to pursue
a job in the medical field
and I was unsure which

path I should take. My cousin is a
PICU nurse and he helped influence
me a lot to determine which route to
go. I have always been fond of helping
other people and putting others
first before myself and nursing was
perfect for those values. It is a very
rewarding profession and I am
proud to do so. I want to specialize
in pediatrics because I have always
loved working with kids and see
how they grow and develop.”
When it comes to cheering on his
son, Walter Kalinowski freely admits
to being a proud father. He is
not surprised at his son’s accomplishments.
“My wife and I are so proud of
Wally and the choices he is making,”
said Walter, who added his son’s
peers thought enough of him to
name him as a captain of the Heidelberg
team. “He has always been
very analytical in his decision making
and once he
commits to something,
he is all in.
His passion for
medicine is special
as is his passion for
playing football. I
love this passion he
brings to life every
single day. Wally is
a hard working
compassionate, inclusive
young man
who loves his
momma and treats
everyone with respect.
I've learned
so much from my
son.”
