Water and sewer rates are going up Jan.<br />

1, 2023, for the vast majority of city of <strong>Canal</strong><br />

<strong>Winchester</strong> utility users after several years<br />

with no increase.<br />

The water rate per 1,000 gallons is currently<br />

$6.46 and the sewer rate is $6 per<br />

1,000 gallons. Following <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong><br />

City Council approval on Oct. 3, both rates<br />

increase two percent each year for the next<br />

four years. For water, in 2023, the rate is<br />

$6.59 and tops out at $6.99 in 2026. For<br />

sewer, the rate is $6.12 and peaks at $6.49.<br />

“We went four years total with no increases<br />

in one,” said <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> Public<br />

Works Director Matt Peoples said. “For<br />

water, we have quite a few capital projects<br />

coming up.”<br />

The list includes work at the water treatment<br />

plant, public service administration<br />

building, a potential $18 to $20 million sanitary<br />

sewer headworks project and compliance<br />

with new phosphorus regulation<br />

requirements.<br />

Peoples said his department was conservative<br />

with budgeting and wanted to keep<br />

rate increases at modest levels, while still<br />

being able to fund operations.<br />

U.S. 33 cable barrier<br />

Council passed an ordinance to contract<br />

with the Ohio Department of Transportation<br />

to install a cable barrier on U.S. Route<br />

33 starting at the Gender Road interchange<br />

to east of the Hill-Diley Road interchange.<br />

The stretch of U.S. 33 from Gender to<br />

Hill-Diley has been the site of deadly<br />

crossover accidents. Most recently a car<br />

traveling northwest on U.S. 33 in July<br />

crossed the median and struck two vehicles<br />

traveling southeast. Two people were killed.<br />

ODOT assumes 100 percent of the cost of<br />

preliminary engineering, right-of-way and<br />

construction costs. <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> agrees<br />

to assume the total cost of any features requested<br />

by the city that are not necessary<br />

for the improvement.<br />

Council meetings<br />

<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> City Council meetings<br />

are held on the first and third Monday of<br />

every month. Meetings begin at 7 p.m. The<br />

meetings are open to the public.<br />

Historic Ghost Tour<br />

By Linda Dillman<br />

Staff Writer<br />

<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> embraces history and<br />

each <strong>October</strong> when the moon hangs high in<br />

the night sky, the ghosts of its past come<br />

alive and share their stories with visitors.<br />

Costumed characters portray individuals<br />

who helped shape the city and are stationed<br />

throughout the downtown area. Their mission<br />

is one of a historical haunting intended<br />

to educate, not scare.<br />

The <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> Area Historical<br />

Society’s annual Ghost Tour, which began<br />

in 2005 with the genesis of an idea by a resident<br />

and brought to fruition the following<br />

year by original tour organizer Elaine<br />

Thomas and a group of dedicated volunteers,<br />

takes place this year on Oct. 21 and<br />

22.<br />

“There are several stops that have been<br />

researched over the years and we research<br />

new stops,” said tour coordinator Jill Amos.<br />

“Last year we met with the Hockman family<br />

for stories that were used in the script for<br />

the Hockman/Chaney Mill. This year we<br />

were able to meet with the Caslow family<br />

and not only confirm some of the facts for<br />

the Caslow Pharmacy but also to establish<br />

a new stop. Although the owners of the<br />

property do not usually participate in the<br />

process, we have had owners who wanted to<br />

play the part of their characters, which was<br />

a fantastic addition to the tour.”<br />

Chamber seeks support from city<br />

By Linda Dillman<br />

Staff Writer<br />

Questions about an August request by the local<br />

Chamber of Commerce for the city to provide financial<br />

support for a new full-time position found <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong><br />

City Council asking for more information before<br />

making a final decision.<br />

The chamber is asking for a three-year commitment<br />

from the city. The total base salary, benefits, training,<br />

etc. for the fulltime position is estimated at $64,160;<br />

year two is $66,845; and year three is $68,580.<br />

The chamber job would focus on strategic planning,<br />

increasing membership and creating meaningful and intentional<br />

training and certification opportunities for<br />

members, while keeping membership costs and sponsorship<br />

opportunities affordable for the business community.<br />

The chamber hired a consultant on an initial 90-day<br />

contract while working through funding opportunities<br />

with the city.<br />

“Nothing has changed in my opinion from the original<br />

ask until now,” said Councilwoman Jill Amos.<br />

“There’s still a lot of questions for me. I still don’t think<br />

we have the full picture of why the city needs to be responsible.”<br />

Councilman Bob Clark said he has concerns about<br />

the financial request with the number of projects the<br />

city is also considering, such as the police study and the<br />

potential for adding more officers, McGill Park, and<br />

street signage.<br />

“I’m getting concerned about the money and this<br />

(chamber request) could open up something we might<br />

not want to go down,” said Clark.<br />

Council President Chuck Milliken said the potential<br />

of allocating up to $68,000 might need to be negotiated.<br />

“I do share your concern to some degree, but I would<br />

like to see a thriving chamber,” said Milliken. “How can<br />

we play a part to make that happen while protecting the<br />

interests of the city?”<br />

Councilwoman Laurie Amick compared city support<br />

of the Joint Recreation District with the chamber proposal,<br />

calling the request “seed money” in getting the<br />

chamber moving in the right direction for a brief period<br />

of time.<br />

However, Amos said the JRD, unlike the chamber,<br />

has city representatives sitting on its board.<br />

“We don’t serve on the chamber,” said Amos. “It’s not<br />

a committee or function of council. That’s a big amount<br />

of money we’re asking our city residents to invest in.”<br />

Councilman Patrick Shea thinks the chamber and<br />

Destination: <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> could be more effective<br />

if both organizations joined forces.<br />

“I think a good healthy chamber is good for our community,<br />

but with the size of our community, having an<br />

organization that serves both of those functions would<br />

be worth looking at,” said Shea.<br />

Amick thinks the missions of the two organizations<br />

are different and believes it would be appropriate for<br />

chamber representatives to answer that question for<br />

themselves in a future discussion.<br />

While council held their first reading of the financial<br />

support ordinance on Oct. 3, the legislation can be<br />

amended before a final vote is taken.<br />

Journey ends short of goal<br />

According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, in August, State<br />

Wildlife Officer Jeff Berry, assigned to Muskingum County, was patrolling<br />

the Muskingum River near Duncan Falls when he noticed<br />

two boats and a kayak on the side of the river. He stopped to talk<br />

to four individuals who were there with one of the boats. They were<br />

a family from Loudonville. They explained that they had started on<br />

the Mohican River in Loudonville and were travelling to Baton<br />

Rouge, Louisiana, 1,500 miles away.<br />

They were 13 days into their trip and had traveled approximately<br />

110 miles. Officer Berry assisted the family in shoving off<br />

from the shore as they departed. He recently checked in with the<br />

family on their adventure. They had traveled 850 miles in 36 days,<br />

but their journey ended when they had boat motor issues. The family<br />

shared that some of their highlights were fishing, watching ospreys<br />

catch softshell turtles, and hearing bald eagles chattering at<br />

night.<br />

event on Oct. 29 at the Diley Ridge Medical<br />

Center parking lot, 7911 Diley Road, from<br />

medications. <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>’s<br />

collection site is set up in a convenient stop<br />

and drop model, allowing those discarding<br />

unwanted prescription drugs to remain in<br />

their vehicles, drop medications with collection<br />

agents, and continue on their way.<br />

Note that collectors may only accept pills.<br />

Liquids (including inhalers and their refills),<br />

as well as needles or sharps, may not<br />

be dropped off. The service is free and<br />

anonymous; no questions asked.<br />

GHOST<br />

Continued from page 1<br />

Before the first tour stepped off in<br />

2006–led by lantern-carrying guides–<br />

countless hours were spent on securing<br />

sites and delving into the society’s archives<br />

by Jeanette Schneider and Judy Fleming<br />

in researching potential tour stops.<br />

Readying the inaugural event involved<br />

planning on many levels and in areas unfamiliar<br />

to historical society volunteers,<br />

such as publicity, ticketing and tour logistics.<br />

And while problems occasionally pop<br />

up–in the first year, two actors on opposite<br />

sides of the street thought the tour was<br />

over, changed clothes and started to leave<br />

(one was eventually flagged down, changed<br />

back into period dress and made it back in time for the<br />

next group) or church doors that do not open–visitors<br />

are rarely aware of any glitches.<br />

Actors are now notified when the last group passes<br />

their stop by a simple system of forward and reverse<br />

cards given to them by the last tour guides.<br />

In 2019, students from the <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> performing<br />

arts department started participating in the<br />

ghost tour as teen volunteers and historical characters<br />

and now hone their performances in the weeks leading<br />

up to the tour.<br />

“This is the third year that the drama team has partnered<br />

with us,” said Amos. “They usually have about 10<br />

to 15 students participating in the tour and they are incredible.<br />

They bring a lot of energy to the tour. We start<br />

meeting with Director Abbey Phillips in March to start<br />

setting the stops, seeing what new stops we want to research<br />

and creating our plan for the year.”<br />

Once locations are determined, previous<br />

scripts are updated and rewritten and new<br />

scripts are created, as necessary.<br />

Amos said, in working with the drama<br />

department students, the historical society<br />

created a number of smaller, additional<br />

stops or run-ons along the way, which help<br />

break up the walking portion of the tour.<br />

“The potential for ad-libbing is totally<br />

up to the character,” said Amos. “We provide<br />

them with a researched script and ask<br />

that they stick to the facts since we are a<br />

history based tour, but I do know that<br />

some of our characters are very interactive<br />

with the guests and ask questions or talk<br />

with them.”<br />

The rain or shine walking tour of seven stops takes<br />

place Oct. 21 and 22. Tours last approximately 90 minutes<br />

and begin at 7 p.m. with a new tour departing<br />

every 15 minutes.<br />

Tours starts from the historical complex located at<br />

10 W. Oak St.<br />

Tickets may be purchased at the Queen of the Line<br />

Train Depot beginning at 6:30 p.m. with the last tour<br />

departing at 7:30 p.m.<br />

Ticket prices have not changed since 2006 and are<br />

still $10 for adults and $5 for students, ages 6-18. Children<br />

under age 5 are free. A bus tour runs Friday night<br />

and has limited seating. Tickets must be purchased in<br />

advance for the bus tour. For more information, visit<br />

www.cwhistory.org.<br />

“This is a great partnership that shares some of the<br />

great history of our amazing city,” said Amos. “Today’s<br />

memories are tomorrow's history.”<br />

Bed Tax Grant Program<br />

The city of <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> is accepting applications for its<br />

2023 Transient Occupancy Tax (Bed Tax) Grant Program.<br />

Halloween trick-or-treat is an exciting and<br />

special time when you are a kid.<br />

It’s a time when you can disguise yourself<br />

and become someone or something else for a<br />

few hours. You get to walk around the neighborhood<br />

streets in that twilight time when<br />

dusk settles in and shadows can become<br />

whatever your imagination wants them to be.<br />

Plus there is candy, lots of candy.<br />

As a kid growing up in the 1950s and<br />

1960s in Groveport, I have fond memories of<br />

trick-or-treating. I liked seeing the sidewalks<br />

filled with other kids in costume darting<br />

about from house to house. I was awed by the<br />

crazed faces of jack-o-lanterns lit by the dancing<br />

flames of candlelight that beckoned to us<br />

trick-o-treaters to front porches. It was fun to<br />

be out adventuring in the forbidden dark - a<br />

time one was normally safe at home.<br />

I recall stopping by the old fire station on<br />

College Street (now gone) and getting hot<br />

dogs and doughnuts. Speaking of doughnuts,<br />

there was one house that gave out doughnuts<br />

and they even let you pick which doughnut<br />

you wanted! They could probably afford to do<br />

that back then because the town was much<br />

smaller and there weren’t as many of us kid<br />

goblins showing up at the door.<br />

We used paper grocery bags to collect our<br />

treats, a haul that could include candy bars of<br />

all kinds, as well as assorted other sugary delights,<br />

but also popcorn balls.<br />

In the days leading up to trick-or-treat, our<br />

school classrooms and homes were adorned in<br />

assorted orange and black Halloween decorations<br />

and crepe paper. These decorations were<br />

not cute, but instead tended to have a scary<br />

edge to their appearance in keeping with the<br />

other worldly spirit of Halloween. These unusual<br />

visages were great to look at and inspired<br />

our imaginations.<br />

Also in those days, while some kids did<br />

have store bought costumes, most kids, with<br />

the help of their parents, made their own costumes<br />

from whatever<br />

was at hand. That<br />

being said, there are<br />

still some kids today<br />

who still create their<br />

own costumes because<br />

I have seen some great<br />

ones at recent Halloween<br />

trick-or-treats.<br />

As for my costumes<br />

when I was a kid, I remember<br />

being a ghost<br />

a couple of times -<br />

which was an easy costume<br />

as evidenced by<br />

Editor’s Notebook<br />

Rick<br />

Palsgrove<br />

the “Peanuts” characters in the great Halloween<br />

television show, “It’s the Great Pumpkin<br />

Charlie Brown.” Probably my favorite<br />

costume was when my mom helped me put together<br />

a Civil War era Union Army cavalryman<br />

outfit. The Civil War centennial was<br />

being remembered in the mid-1960s so it was<br />

easy to find a cheap blue, felt fabric replica<br />

Union Army hat. My mom then stitched a<br />

stripe down the side length of the legs of a<br />

pair of my blue jeans. We then added a small<br />

black mask, a blue shirt, a toy sword and toy<br />

gun and I was set. I was proud of that outfit.<br />

I had hoped the stripe would remain on that<br />

pair of blue jeans after Halloween, but mom<br />

removed it the next day because those were<br />

chapter of the National<br />

Technical Honor<br />

Society was named a<br />

<strong>2022</strong> recipient of the<br />

Silver Star of Excellence<br />

Award by the<br />

NTHS national organization.<br />

This award is<br />

presented to NTHS<br />

chapters that distinguish<br />

themselves through their consistent excellence in career-technical education<br />

and is a reflection of their commitment to community service, chapter advancement,<br />

and active civic involvement. During the past school year, Fairfield Career Center’s<br />

NTHS chapter has participated in philanthropic food drives, donut sales, and educational<br />

activities. Their members collected approximately 3,000 boxed and canned<br />

goods for a local food pantry during the 2021 holiday season. Additionally, last year’s<br />

members raised over $1,200 to be used for membership fees and educational field<br />

trips that will benefit NTHS students during the <strong>2022</strong>-23 school year.

Get those skeletons out of your closets!<br />

By Linda Dillman<br />

Staff Writer<br />

Skeletons are creeping their way across <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>,<br />

but there is no need for alarm.<br />

Destination: <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> is inviting bone-rattling<br />

ghouls of every shape and size to take part in a skeleton decorating<br />

contest where the community judges the contestants.<br />

The event was inspired by a Facebook request and a<br />

similar contest held by the organization for the past two<br />

years ago.<br />

“In the midst of all the COVID shutdowns in 2020, Destination:<br />

<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> wanted to give people something<br />

fun to do and at the same time possibly help the local<br />

restaurants who had been greatly affected by the shutdowns,”<br />

said Director Karen Stiles. “We knew that Fairfield<br />

County had held their Tour of Scarecrows for a couple of<br />

years, but much of <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> is in Franklin County,<br />

so Destination: <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> so we held a Tour of<br />

Scarecrows for <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>.”<br />

Prizes were awarded in four categories and each scarecrow<br />

winner received an assortment of gift cards that could<br />

be used at local restaurants. The same type of prizes will be<br />

awarded for the <strong>2022</strong> skeleton competition.<br />

“Though the restaurants were closed for dine-in, they<br />

were open for pick-up, so our hope was this would encourage<br />

the winners to order take-out from those restaurants,” said<br />

Stiles, who said the tour was conducted the following year<br />

as well. “This year, a post on social media where members<br />

were asking for a skeleton competition, was brought to our<br />

attention, so we decided to go in that direction for <strong>2022</strong>.”<br />

Contestants – residents, individuals, groups, organizations<br />

and businesses in the 43110 zip code–are free to construct<br />

their own skeleton or use pre-made ones, dressed up<br />

<strong>Messenger</strong> photo by Linda Dillman<br />

Destination: <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> is holding a skeleton<br />

display contest.<br />

and staged in a creative way. Judging categories include:<br />

Largest, Funniest, Most Creative and Best Cemetery or Ensemble<br />

Scene. Voting is done online through the Destination:<br />

<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> website.<br />

Participants must send a picture of their skeleton, including<br />

the skeleton's name and location to info@destinationcw.org.<br />

The location of each entry will be labeled on a<br />

map posted on the organization’s website so people know<br />

where to go to view the skeleton.<br />

Only those who submit their information to Destination:<br />

<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> will be entered in the contest. Voting<br />

ends on Oct. 24 and the winner will be announced on Halloween.<br />

Those voting for a skeleton display may go to<br />

https://www.destinationcw.org/fallFestival and enter the<br />

display’s name.<br />

Contest rules include a minimum height of three feet and<br />

a display consisting of a single skeleton or a gathering of<br />

skeletons.<br />

“You can use any materials you like to build your skeleton,<br />

there are no restrictions,” said Stiles. “All skeletons<br />

(and display names) must be made and displayed in good<br />

taste. Any entrant designing their skeletons to cause deliberate<br />

offense will be disqualified. All skeletons must be displayed<br />

so it is unnecessary for anyone to access your<br />

property or business to view them. They must also be secured<br />

in a manner that they will not blow away and not be<br />

a danger or possibly cause injury to anyone. Owners are<br />

held solely responsible for the safety and security of their<br />

display.”<br />

When voting for an entry, Stiles asks the community to<br />

look for skeleton displays with a little bit extra in the use<br />

of materials, the way the skeleton(s) and/or other appropriate<br />

themed characters are displayed or is an idea that really<br />

catches the eye.<br />

“Pictures will be posted on our Facebook page for those<br />

who don't have time to drive around and look at the skeletons,”<br />

said Stiles. “At the online voting site, the categories<br />

will be listed and people will vote by entering the skeleton's<br />

name in the appropriate category. We will again be giving<br />

away packets of gift cards. Neighbors, co-workers and organizations<br />

can come together and create an entry. As individuals<br />

create entries, neighbors enjoy the displays.<br />

Additionally, the prizes encourage participants to visit our<br />

<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> businesses to use the gift cards.”<br />

Hinshaw named elementary counselor of the year<br />

Beth Hinshaw, school counselor at <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>’s<br />

Indian Trail Elementary, was named the Ohio Elementary<br />

Counselor of the Year by the Ohio School<br />

Counselor Association at the annual All Ohio Counselors<br />

Conference held Oct. 17-19 at the Columbus Convention<br />

Center.<br />

She has worked at <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> Schools for four<br />

years and during that time has built a comprehensive<br />

school counseling program to support all students in<br />

their educational journeys.<br />

“Mrs. Hinshaw has an amazing rapport with the students,<br />

staff, parents, and community members,” said Indian<br />

Trail Principal Eric Riddle. “Her positive attitude,<br />

engaging personality, compassion, and energy are just<br />

a few characteristics that describe the accomplished<br />

counselor Beth is. She always put the needs, and best<br />

interests, of the students at the forefront of her decisionmaking.”<br />

Hinshaw excels at using data and research to develop<br />

programs that foster strong engagement and connection<br />

in her students. As a counselor, her role is to<br />

support the educational growth of students by addressing<br />

wellness and cwschools.org social-emotional health<br />

needs through building-wide programs, training for<br />

staff, and individual and small-group interventions.<br />

“I feel so honored and humbled to be recognized for<br />

doing the work that I love,” said Hinshaw. “It is truly a<br />

joy to partner with the educators and families in <strong>Canal</strong><br />

<strong>Winchester</strong> to provide the best learning environment for<br />

all students.”<br />

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Hinshaw and other<br />

staff developed the concept of individual regulation<br />

boxes for students to use at home when they didn’t have<br />

access to the regulation tools they used at school. She<br />

helped train homeroom teachers on the use of these<br />

HINSHAW<br />

tools so they could successfully implement their use during<br />

online learning.<br />

Hinshaw also oversees mentor programs at Indian<br />

Trail called Guys and Ties and Girls and Pearls. Each<br />

program connects students with adult mentors, including<br />

staff, high school students, and community members.<br />

During meetings and events, mentors help the<br />

students develop leadership skills and positive skills.<br />

Next Community Plan workshop set for Nov. 9 & 10<br />

The city of <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> is creating<br />

a new Community Plan — a long-range guiding<br />

policy document that will provide a vision<br />

for future development in the city.<br />

The Community Plan will address topics<br />

including land use, community character,<br />

housing, transportation, natural resources,<br />

public services, and economic development.<br />

The plan is being developed through a series<br />

of collaborative Community Workshops,<br />

at which <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> residents, business<br />

owners, and stakeholders can work together<br />

in an open and transparent environment<br />

to develop the key ingredients of the<br />

plan - including a vision statement, a statement<br />

of core values, and a draft future land<br />

use map.<br />

“Taking a collaborative, workshop-based<br />

approach to creating the city’s new Community<br />

Plan gives us a unique opportunity to<br />

envision an even brighter future for <strong>Canal</strong><br />

<strong>Winchester</strong>, helping us to remain ‘The<br />

Greatest Little City in Ohio,’ “ said Mayor<br />

Mike Ebert.<br />

The first Community Workshop was<br />

Sept. 20-22, <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>. It featured<br />

a series of working sessions, focus groups,<br />

and public events that will take place. The<br />

complete workshop schedule is available at<br />

https://www.cwgrowingtogether.com/.<br />

Major League Eaters at pumpkin<br />

pie eating championship<br />

The #1-ranked female competitive eater, Miki<br />

Sudo, faced off against the #2 ranked competitive<br />

eater in the world, Geoffrey Esper, and other topranked<br />

eaters from around the nation at the Destination<br />

Outlets World Pumpkin Pie Eating<br />

Championship. The competition took place Oct. 9<br />

at Destination Outlets, located just off I-71 at<br />

Highway 71, 8000 Factory Shops Boulevard, Jeffersonville,<br />

OH.<br />

The eight-minute all-you-can-eat pumpkin pieeating<br />

record is held by Matt Stonie, who consumed<br />

20 pounds, 13 ounces in 2014. Last year,<br />

#1-ranked eater in the world, Joey Chestnut, consumed<br />

a whopping 16 pounds, 12 ounces in eight<br />

minutes.<br />

“The Destination Outlets World Pumpkin Pie<br />

Eating Championship is one of the most compelling<br />

contests of the season,” said Sam Barclay,<br />

emcee at Major League Eating. “Eaters should not<br />

underestimate the skill and determination it will<br />

Development of the new <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong><br />

Community Plan began in June <strong>2022</strong>,<br />

guided by an active steering committee composed<br />

of residents, officials, and business<br />

owners from all areas of the city.<br />

The committee, and city staff, are working<br />

with McKenna, a planning and design<br />

firm specializing in midwestern communities.<br />

Workshop presentations are recorded<br />

and posted on the project website,<br />

https://www.cwgrowingtogether.com/.<br />
