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 />

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 />

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 />
my good “school blue jeans.”<br />

On Aug. 30, the Fairfield<br />
Career Center<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 />
The next Community Workshop will be<br />
Nov. 9 and 10 in the historic Old Town district,<br />
further refining the ideas developed in<br />
