Fighting modern fires requires new tactics<br />

By Katelyn Sattler<br />

Staff Writer<br />

Firefighters must practice fighting modern fires and not the<br />

legacy fires of the past.<br />

With this in mind, Hamilton Township firefighters recently<br />

participated in a training burn at Wilburn farm.<br />

“Modern fires burn black, hot, and very fast,” said Lt. Rafe<br />

Britton, a firefighter/paramedic for Hamilton Township Fire<br />

Department.<br />

He said legacy fires were fueled by natural products compared<br />

to the substances in modern fires in houses.<br />

“Most stuff today is petroleum based,” said Britton. “So fires<br />

from petroleum based products - such as plastics and neoprene -<br />

when they burn, they burn black, they burn hot, and they burn<br />

fast.”<br />

He said in the past, if you had a fire in your house, you had<br />

about 17 minutes on average to get out if you did not do anything<br />

to stop the fire.<br />

“When I first started, we were running into people going in and<br />

out of their house, getting stuff as we were coming in and we<br />

fought fire differently,” said Britton.<br />

Today you have three to five minutes to get out of your house<br />

until everything in the rooms combust all at once and the whole<br />

place is on fire.<br />

House fire training<br />

“We don’t fight as many fires as we used to, so firefighters are<br />

not getting the necessary fire experience,” said Britton. “So when<br />

New Community Plan<br />

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

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

guiding policy document that will provide<br />

a vision for future development in the city.<br />

Topics include land use, community<br />

character, housing, transportation, natural<br />

resources, public services, and economic<br />

development. The plan is being developed<br />

through a series of collaborative<br />

Community Workshops. The next Community<br />

Workshop will be Nov. 9 and 10 in<br />

the historic Old Town district.<br />

City of CW and art guild team up<br />

By Linda Dillman<br />

Staff Writer<br />

The arts are coming to <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>’s municipal<br />

complex following an agreement reached between<br />

the city and the <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> Art Guild.<br />

The arts organization will provide the city with a<br />

permanent hanging system for guild artists to display<br />

their work in the municipal building gallery<br />

space throughout 45 E. Waterloo St.<br />

In turning to the city for gallery space, guild<br />

treasurer and artist Carolyn Sittler said the group<br />

wanted a permanent location–a place they could<br />

call home–to showcase its member’s work.<br />

“We originally presented the idea several years<br />

ago when the city announced its plan to buy the Bob<br />

McDorman Building,” said Guild President Sue<br />

Finch. “We plan on having the first work installed in<br />

early January. The exhibit will feature 2D work of<br />

the entire membership. We may feature particular<br />

artists, or themed work of the entire membership.”<br />

Guild members previously displayed artwork at 1<br />

N. High St., a tearoom formerly located at 25 N. High<br />

St., Brew Dog, the Francis Steube Community Center,<br />

and in mural form on buildings throughout the city.<br />

“We plan to continue the mural program, as it is<br />

favored by the public and city,” said Sittler. “The<br />

first murals were installed the summer of 2015 and<br />

every year since except for 2020, the year of COVID<br />

restrictions.”<br />

According to the agreement, CWAG will select<br />

the artwork. Prior to the display, pieces selected for<br />

exhibition will be approved by the city or its representative.<br />

The guild is solely responsible for installation,<br />

maintenance and removal of exhibited art,<br />

which will be rotated every three months.<br />

The guild currently has 26 members and was<br />

organized in 1998 by a group of local artists. Its mission<br />

is to stimulate interest in the visual arts<br />

throughout the community of <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> and<br />

to aid in the promotion of local artists through<br />

exhibits and programs.<br />

CWAG provides opportunities for its members to<br />

grow in their own artistic development and to<br />

encourage others as well. Sittler reported the only<br />

requirement for membership is to have an appreciation<br />

for art or desire to be an artist.<br />

Guild members hear guest speakers on art related<br />

topics and engage in workshops and Plein air creative<br />

sessions. Venues are provided for artists to sell<br />

their work and members help young artists<br />

throughout the <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> school district.<br />

“The guild has guided many individuals on how<br />

to connect with their untapped creativity,” said<br />

Sittler.<br />

we get a structure like this (at Wilburn farm) for live<br />

burns, we try to make the fires as close as possible to<br />

real life because we want the younger guys to experience<br />

the heat, the black smoke, and what it feels like<br />

inside. Some of these guys have never seen fire.<br />

There’ll be a point where everything combusts at once.<br />

That usually happens in three to five minutes. If you’re<br />

a firefighter, you need to recognize those conditions.”<br />

The firefighters’ gear protects them up to about 500<br />

degrees. The heat can get up to 1,100 degrees and hotter.<br />

“That’s why I always tell my guys, when in doubt,<br />

flow water. I’m not worried about water damage. I’m<br />

worried about your life,” said Britton.<br />

He said thermal imaging cameras help firefighters<br />

“see” in a fire.<br />

“You can’t see anything in fires now,” said Britton.<br />

“We used to crawl in under the smoke on our backs<br />

with the fire hose nozzle on our belts. We would push<br />

ourselves with our feet back to the fire because those<br />

fires didn’t put out near as much smoke as modern<br />

fires will. The TIC can look through the smoke. And<br />

some TICs are made to where it changes color. We<br />

want to see orange. Orange is fire, orange is bad. If I<br />

see red, that’s 800 to 1,000 degrees. If I see orange,<br />

that’s 500 to 800 degrees.”<br />

Fighting fire with foam<br />

Fire trucks have 30 gallons of foam, which firefighters<br />

call “wet water.”<br />

“It breaks down the surface tension of the water and<br />

makes the water more effective. It makes it sticky,”<br />

said Britton. “A lot of times fires like this (training<br />

burn) don’t need foam. Good old water’s about the best<br />

thing you can have because it takes the heat out, and<br />

it’ll create the steam.”<br />

He said 30 gallons of foam added to 750 gallons of<br />

water and makes it 2,100 gallons of water.<br />

“It makes the water more effective,” said Britton. “I<br />

have the same amount of water, but the foam is three<br />

times more effective. I know a lot of times volunteer<br />

departments don’t have money to buy new trucks with<br />

foam systems. So they do a poor man’s foam by taking<br />

five gallons of Dawn dishwashing liquid and pouring it<br />

in the tank.”<br />

Tactics<br />

“When you have fire blowing out a second floor window,<br />

you’ve got to think to yourself what gets water on<br />

the fire the fastest,” said Britton “So when I get my<br />

hose charged I take the front door, find the stairs, get<br />

to the top of the stairs and make a turn into that room<br />

faster than if I just hit it hard from outside and bounce<br />

the water off the ceiling. This is a transitional attack.”<br />

This slows down the fire.<br />

“So the transitional is you hit it, you get a change<br />

with your smoke, shut it off,” said Britton. “Go get it. If<br />

I had fire coming out the front door, the fastest way to<br />

that fire is hitting it right in the mouth. I’m going to<br />

go right in, right where it’s coming out. I’m going to go<br />

get it cause that’s where it’s at. I’m going to hit it. Used<br />

to be they taught you to fight fire from the unburnt<br />

side. I don’t care if it’s burnt or unburnt, wherever the<br />

fire’s at, that’s where I’m going.”<br />

He said you do not want the fire behind you, below<br />

you, or above you. He said a fellow firefighter will<br />

watch the conditions and let other firefighters know<br />

where the fire is.<br />

“We’re brothers. I always say brothers above all others,”<br />

said Britton. “When we’re in there, it’s about the<br />

guy to my side, the guy at my back.”<br />

After the fire<br />

Once the fire is out it’s time to pack up equipment<br />

and clean up.<br />

“We’ll get everything in order,” said Britton.<br />

“Everybody will take a 20 minute hot shower. The reason<br />

we do that is it opens your pores up. So any of the<br />

carcinogens we have on us, it’ll open your pores up and<br />

you wash it all off. Studies show about 20 minutes for<br />

a good hot shower. Some departments that have a lot<br />

of money, they bought saunas. And after the fires, the<br />

guys will go into saunas. And it sweats it all out of<br />

them.”

CW Schools promote leadership program<br />

By Linda Dillman<br />

Staff Writer<br />

<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> Middle School students<br />

are on a path to leadership.<br />

The Leader in Me program is an integrated<br />

approach to education which teaches<br />

leadership, creates a culture of student<br />

empowerment and aligns systems to drive<br />

academic results. It is based on the “7<br />

Habits of Highly Effective People,” written<br />

by educator and author Stephen Covey.<br />

Teachers completed training last year<br />

and began implementing the program with<br />

their students this year in 30 minute<br />

Connections classes held every Tuesday. In<br />

addition, students have weekly journals to<br />

complete where they reflect on the seven<br />

habits of highly effective people.<br />

“Why bring this to our building?” asked<br />

Principal Brian Moore during an Oct. 17<br />

<strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> Board of Education<br />

meeting. “In looking at challenges and<br />

information collected by our staff in 2018-<br />

19, we were not seeing leadership qualities<br />

in students. A lack of motivation, empathy–not<br />

having those types of things. We<br />

felt having this program would help bring<br />

that to the forefront and help our students.”<br />

Moore said the goal this year in measuring<br />

the impact of the program is to compare<br />

office and bus discipline referral data from<br />

2018-19 and 2019-20 with data collected in<br />

spring 2023.<br />

“We want to empower students<br />

to be independent learners and<br />

active members in their community.”<br />

- Brian Moore, principal<br />

CW Middle School<br />

“We want to empower students to be<br />

independent learners and active members<br />

in their community,” he said. “We want to<br />

help students prepare themselves for high<br />

school and their futures. To create selfmotivated<br />

learners who are empathetic to<br />

others’ differences. I think that last one is<br />

the most important one we want to drive<br />

home. We want to create a student-led culture<br />

that helps teens help each other<br />

through this process.”<br />

According to Moore, results are already<br />

becoming apparent in the building and he<br />

said Leader in Me aligns perfectly with the<br />

district’s Portrait of a Graduate. He also<br />

reported the next initiative is to provide<br />

parents and the community with ways to<br />

have conversations at home with their children.<br />

“We’re very happy where we’re at even<br />

in the first months of school,” said Moore.<br />

“Students are starting to write some really<br />

neat things about how they can change<br />

their lives and make things better. We’re<br />

really excited.”<br />

Water main break in Obetz<br />

Plus planning & zoning news<br />

By Katelyn Sattler<br />

Staff Writer<br />

There was a water main break along<br />

Groveport Road near the west roundabout<br />

near Alum Creek Drive that was slated for<br />

repairs Oct. 24.<br />

Obetz City Administrator Rod Davisson<br />

said that, once water was restored in the<br />

area, residents must boil their water before<br />

using it. Affected areas will directly receive<br />

a boil water advisory with more information.<br />

Obetz City Council news<br />

•Council approved the final plat for section<br />

1 of the Buckstone Bend subdivision .<br />

This means Pulte can sell the lots and start<br />

building on the old Wilburn farm east of<br />

Lockbourne Road and south of Rathmell<br />

Road.<br />

•Councilman Todd Gibbs said two<br />

lights have been replace on Recreation<br />

Trail and at Scioto Heights - the pole on<br />

the roundabout on Alum Creek.<br />

•Councilman Robert Kramer attended a<br />

recent Hamilton Township trustees meeting<br />

and learned the speed limit on Grebus<br />

Road has been 50 mph, which Kramer said,<br />

“Sounds insane.” It has since been lowered<br />

to 25 mph.<br />

•In the last two weeks, the Obetz Police<br />

Department took 703 calls for service,<br />

patrolled 2,258 miles, issued one speeding<br />

citation, issued 12 other moving violations,<br />

took nine offense reports, and one crash<br />

report.<br />

•In September, the Hamilton Township<br />

Fire Department went on 73 EMS runs<br />

and 29 fire runs.<br />

Planning and Zoning<br />

Variances for Centerpoint 7 on Bixby<br />

Road, which is the last developable parcel<br />

in Centerpoint Business Park, were discussed<br />

at the Oct. 12 Obetz Planning &<br />

Zoning Commission meeting.<br />

The first variance was a request to<br />

approve a gravel fire lane, which is not on<br />

the applicant’s property. The applicant<br />

must resolve the issue of the fire lane not<br />

being on the property with the industrial<br />

park association by executing an easement<br />

to allow it, which they have not yet submitted.<br />

Madison Township approved the gravel<br />

fire lane.<br />

Another variance was a request to<br />

approve two dumpsters in the front of the<br />

building.<br />

The area is mixed residential and industrial.<br />

Since there are residential property<br />

nearby, the city of Obetz would like the<br />

dumpsters to be screened and not visible<br />

from Bixby Road.<br />

The final variance requested was to<br />

allow a rear yard set back of two feet.<br />

While not in the variance request, the<br />

development text shows stairs on the property<br />

next to them.<br />

The applicant must get permission to<br />

have the stairs on the property next to<br />

them.<br />

www.columbusmessenger.com<br />

Doug Kaiser with Exxcel Project<br />

Management agreed to do those things.<br />

Obetz City Councilman Derek Varney<br />

requested the city have another chance to<br />

review the final site plan.<br />

The commission approved the request<br />

for variances to allow the gravel fire lane,<br />

to allow the two dumpsters on the front<br />

yard with none visible from the front yard,<br />

and also to approve the variance to allow a<br />

two foot rear yard setback on the condition<br />

that no part of the building, including<br />

staircase, is on a parcel owned by another<br />

entity.<br />

Pulte Homes<br />

Pulte Homes sought variances to allow<br />

a temporary sign eight feet tall and 32<br />

square feet in area for the new development,<br />

Buckstone Bend.<br />

The sign will sit at the southeast corner<br />

of Lockbourne Road and Wilburn<br />

Boulevard and remain until all lots are<br />

sold.<br />

Community Services Director Stacey<br />

Boumis said, “The zoning code says the<br />

maximum height is four feet. They’re asking<br />

for eight feet. The zoning code limits<br />

signage to 90 day. Obviously, we want<br />

them to sell lots and get this development<br />

filled up. So, they want to keep the sign up<br />

until all the lots are sold, which is a reasonable<br />

request.<br />

Boumis said there would be no lighting<br />

on this sign.<br />

The commission approved the variance<br />

to install the sign and let it remain until all<br />

lots are sold at the Pulte property.<br />

Buckstone Bend<br />

Boumis said, “It’s exciting this<br />

(Buckstone Bend Final Plat Section 1) is in<br />

this phase already. They are requesting<br />

final approval for 49 lots for section one of<br />

their project. They are already in the<br />

design phase of Section 2.”<br />

The only issue Boumis noted was that<br />

lot 48 on the preliminary plat is not on the<br />

final plat but does not pose any issues.<br />

“It just means it’s going to be platted at<br />

an additional phase,” said Boumis.<br />

Commissioner Dan Raver had concerns<br />

that the corner lots.<br />

Boumis said, “Well, that’s a corner lot,<br />

so their fencing opportunities would be<br />

extremely limited. Pulte will manage their<br />

homeowners association for many years.<br />

Pulte has the same fence restrictions as<br />

Big Walnut Run, which is that all-aluminum<br />

fence. And so it would be a quality<br />

fence type, I believe, in this subdivision.”<br />

Raver still wasn’t convinced the corner<br />

lots met the frontage requirements.<br />

Law Director Gene Hollins said, “It’s a<br />

little over 49 feet of frontage for those (corner)<br />

lots.”<br />

Boumis said, “We would look at the rear<br />

lot because of the curb because it’s in the<br />

right-of-way. These were the sizes that<br />

were approved before. They haven’t<br />

changed anything from their original submittal.”<br />

The commission approved the Final<br />

Plat Section 1 for Buckstone Bend.

Compost those pumpkins<br />

Picking pumpkins and gourds to decorate<br />

your yard and doorstep is part of<br />

many families fall traditions. While it’s<br />

easy to toss old pumpkins and gourds into<br />

the trash, doing so creates unnecessary<br />

food waste and wastes natural resources.<br />

There’s a better way to use those pumpkins.<br />

Below, the Solid Waste Authority of<br />

Central Ohio (SWACO) is sharing simple<br />

ways you can safely dispose of your old<br />

pumpkins and gourds while doing your<br />

part to care for the environment.<br />

• Eat Your Pumpkins: When it comes to<br />

preventing food waste, SWACO’s Save<br />

More Than Food campaign wants you to<br />

know that eating food is best. You probably<br />

can attest to how tasty roasted pumpkin<br />

seeds can be, but did you know that uncarved,<br />

fresh pumpkins can be used to make<br />

pies, breads, soups and more.<br />

• Feed Local Wildlife in the Winter:<br />

Birds love to nosh on little pumpkin<br />

snacks. Once you scrape out the flesh and<br />

seeds and remove any paint or remnant<br />

wax (in the case of a jack-o-lantern candle),<br />

cut the pumpkin into small pieces that<br />

could fit into a bird feeder or dish. Toss out<br />

any pieces that are starting to grow mold,<br />

as those are unsafe to consume. Be aware<br />

that other critters may want a pumpkin<br />

snack, so if you live in a more urban community<br />

and want to avoid inviting more<br />

squirrels, raccoons, deer or other pests in<br />

your yard, this option may not be ideal for<br />

you.<br />

• Donate to Local Farms: Feeding farm<br />

animals can be expensive, so donating<br />

pumpkins and gourds to local farms is a<br />

simple way to support local farmers. Plus,<br />

common farm animals like cows and chickens<br />

love to snack on them. Call your local<br />

community farms to see who may be<br />

accepting pumpkins or consider posting in<br />

local Facebook or NextDoor groups to connect<br />

with others who are collecting these<br />

items for local farms.<br />

• Compost at Home: Before you toss<br />

your pumpkins in your backyard to decompose,<br />

be sure to clean them thoroughly,<br />

removing any seeds or any other non-compostable<br />

materials (e.g., decorations, accessories,<br />

stickers, etc.). Also, scrape the skin<br />

off any pumpkin that has paint or marker.<br />

Cut the pumpkins into pieces so it’s easier<br />

for them to break down in your compost<br />

pile. Don’t worry if it doesn’t happen<br />

overnight — it takes about 8 to 12 weeks for<br />

pumpkin pieces to break down completely.<br />

MORPC regional goals<br />

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning<br />

Commission (MORPC) is seeking comments<br />

from the public on the proposed<br />

regional goals for the 2024-2050<br />

Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP)<br />

for the Columbus Urbanized Area.<br />

The MTP is a long-range planning document<br />

that identifies transportation priorities,<br />

strategies, and projects over the next<br />

two decades. Updated on a four-year cycle,<br />

MORPC coordinates the development of<br />

the MTP with communities throughout<br />

central Ohio and with other local, state,<br />

and federal agencies.<br />

The draft goals include:<br />

•By guiding investment in transportation<br />

and mobility infrastructure and services<br />

in central Ohio, the MTP identifies<br />

strategies to advance the following six<br />

goals:<br />

•Position central Ohio to attract and<br />

retain economic opportunity to prosper as a<br />

region and compete globally.<br />

•Create sustainable neighborhoods to<br />

improve all residents’ quality of life.<br />

•Provide transportation and mobility to<br />

benefit the health, safety, and welfare of all<br />

people.<br />

•Reduce per capita energy consumption<br />

and promote alternative fuel resources to<br />

increase affordability and resilience of<br />

regional energy supplies.<br />

•Protect natural resources and mitigate<br />

infrastructure vulnerabilities to maintain a<br />

healthy ecosystem and community.<br />

•Increase regional collaboration and<br />

employ innovative transportation solutions<br />

to maximize the return on public expenditures.<br />

“Goal setting is step one in the planning<br />

process,” said MORPC Transportation<br />

Study Director Nick Gill. “We invite the<br />

public to weigh in on this milestone and<br />

help set the direction of the plan.”<br />

The goals will direct actions and strategies<br />

used to measure progress over time<br />

with respect to transportation projects in<br />

central Ohio. Next steps include defining<br />

measurable outcomes with indicators to<br />

track success. The plan is scheduled for<br />

completion in 2024 and is being conducted<br />

by MORPC in concert with other activities<br />

in the region.<br />

“These goals provide a shared vision for<br />

our region to work toward as we develop<br />

transportation projects and initiatives and<br />

will help us to determine which projects to<br />

advance based on their ability to advance<br />

the goals,” said MORPC Associate Director<br />

of Transportation Planning Maria Schaper.<br />

Presentations on the draft goals can be<br />

requested by calling Maria Schaper at<br />

(614) 233-4153 or by emailing<br />

mschaper@morpc.org or mtp@morpc.org.<br />

The draft goals can also be viewed on<br />

MORPC’s website.<br />

The public is encouraged to provide comments<br />

or additional information on the proposed<br />

goals by 5 p.m. on Nov. 4 by email to<br />

mtp@morpc.org or in writing to MORPC,<br />

Decline in home sales<br />

New data from the Franklin County<br />

Auditor’s Real Estate Dashboard shows a<br />

significant decline in the total number of<br />

home sales and in the total sales amount<br />

for the month of September, though the<br />

median sale price still rose 6 percent.<br />

The September total sales amount was<br />

$412.6 million, a decline of 29 percent compared<br />

to the same month last year.<br />

Likewise, the total number of sales was<br />

1,371, a decrease of 705 compared to<br />

September 2021. The median sale price<br />

increased slightly to $265,000, a 6 percent<br />

increase compared to September 2021.<br />

The numbers show an accelerating<br />

trend of a cooling housing market: In<br />

August, the total number of sales was<br />

1,696, a decline of 390 compared to August<br />

2021, and the total sales amount declined<br />

13 percent, to $524.4 million.<br />

“The Franklin County housing market<br />

is still solid, though it is mirroring national<br />

trends of a market cool-down,” Franklin<br />

County Auditor Michael Stinziano said.<br />

“The median price did still rise, showing<br />

the continued need for more affordable<br />

housing in our community.”<br />

Most municipalities had similar numbers<br />

to the county as a whole, but not all of<br />

them. In Bexley, the total sales amount<br />

increased 29 percent, and the median sale<br />

<strong>October</strong> 30, <strong>2022</strong> - SOUTH & CANAL WINCHESTER MESSENGER - PAGE 7<br />

price rose 25 percent. In <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>,<br />

the total sales amount increased 69 percent,<br />

and the median sale price increased<br />

11 percent.<br />

The Real Estate Dashboard is updated<br />

monthly and uses intuitive GIS mapping to<br />

show sales activity and statistics for homes<br />

across Franklin County. The tool can break<br />

down sales data by municipality, school<br />

district, or Columbus area commission, giving<br />

homeowners a comprehensive view of<br />

sales activity in their neighborhoods.<br />

September <strong>2022</strong> Franklin County sales<br />

by the numbers:<br />

•1,371 total number of sales, a decrease<br />

of 705 compared to September 2021;<br />

•$265,000 median sale price, an<br />

increase of 6 percent compared to<br />

September 2021;<br />

•$412.6 million in total sales, a decrease<br />

of 29 percent compared to September 2021.<br />

Fire hydrant flushing may cause temporary<br />

inconveniences such as a reduction in<br />

water pressure and discolored water.<br />

Discolored water is not a threat to the public’s<br />

health, however, it will stain laundry<br />

and if consumed may have an unpleasant<br />

taste. To prevent this from happening, do<br />

not wash laundry and have plenty of drinking<br />

water on hand. Residents are asked to<br />

ensure that their vehicles are away from<br />

Taking note of what once was<br />

Recently while driving along Groveport Road from<br />

Groveport to <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> I noticed a house that sat<br />

along the road was just...gone.<br />

It’s a house I<br />

Editor’s Notebook<br />

Rick<br />

Palsgrove<br />

passed by more<br />

times than I can<br />

count as I’ve<br />

traveled back and forth between<br />

the two towns on Groveport Road<br />

throughout my life. Now it was<br />

demolished, gone without a trace<br />

with only straw and grass seed filling<br />

the space where it once was.<br />

It puzzled me that, though I drove by this house many<br />

times and knew it was there, I realized I could not now<br />

adequately describe what it looked like. It existed but<br />

with no personal meaning for me. But I was aware of it<br />

enough to notice when it disappeared.<br />

I think we do that sometimes in life. We take for<br />

granted that something will always be there and sometimes<br />

fail to properly take note of its presence.<br />

Other times there are things we know of and appreciate<br />

that disappear, too. There once was a tree at the corner<br />

of Cron Drive and Wirt Road in Groveport that<br />

guarded an opening in the fence leading to the Groveport<br />

Elementary school yard. Throughout my life I must have<br />

gone through that fence opening and brushed up against<br />

that large, old tree hundreds of times. It was there well<br />

into my adult years. Then one day it was gone along with<br />

the hole in the fence. Like it was never there. A strong,<br />

tall tree - one does not think about it disappearing. But it<br />

did. It was one of many familiar old trees we get to know<br />

in each of our lives that course through the cycle of their<br />

leafy life and pass on like all living things.<br />

Buildings have their life spans, too. From time to time<br />

I think about the old Groveport Madison High School<br />

that once sat along <strong>South</strong> Hamilton Road. Buildings like<br />

schools and churches seem permanent because they play<br />

such a large role in many people’s lives. But they can disappear,<br />

too. That old high school (since replaced by the<br />

new high school at the site) fulfilled its role for more than<br />

50 years before falling to the wrecking ball a few years<br />

ago. Driving by I can still sense a shadow of where the old<br />

high school sat. Looking at the new parking lot and lawn<br />

of the new high school that took its place, I still know<br />

where the gym was, where the main front hallway was,<br />

and so on. It is an odd feeling to out live one’s high school.<br />

Buildings come and go. Trees and plants bloom and<br />

eventually are spent. Animals and favorite pets pass on.<br />

People fade out of our lives or pass away.<br />

It happens to all of us. Here one day, gone tomorrow,<br />

and we leave a small void in the spaces we once inhabited.<br />

A void to be filled by something new. Change is constant<br />

and permanence an illusion.<br />

Past, present, and future are intertwined and bonded<br />

by memory.<br />

Romantic comedy uses star power<br />

A vital piece that has been missing in the romantic<br />

comedies of late — besides a truly original plot — is the<br />

lack of genuine movie stars featured within.<br />

To be fair and kind<br />

The Reel Deal<br />

Dedra<br />

Cordle<br />

to the up-and-coming<br />

actors who are cast in<br />

their stead, they do an<br />

admirable job of selling<br />

these products of fluff to the<br />

masses, but it is the presence of<br />

the movie star that makes the<br />

standard rom-com pop.<br />

“Ticket to Paradise”, a romantic comedy that understands<br />

the power that stars can hold and uses it. It<br />

doesn’t have a great script, but it doesn’t have to have<br />

one because George Clooney and Julia Roberts are<br />

speaking its words. It’s not even that romantic, but<br />

Clooney is smiling his crinkly smile and Roberts is giving<br />

her clarion call laugh. It’s not particularly good,<br />

but it doesn’t really have to be because these beautiful<br />

people are throwing their sparkle around in a movie<br />

whose locale is as equally sparkling and beautiful.<br />

This is a film that knows it is not a great piece of<br />

cinematic art, but it effortlessly wields the power of the<br />

movie star and somehow manages to be something<br />

that is light and fun and charming. With the shininess<br />

of the stars and the magnificence of its beachscapes, it<br />

lulls you into looking past its general ho-hum-ness and<br />

asks that you bask in a world that you could never<br />

dream of living — or afford to, for most of us.<br />

In “Ticket to Paradise,” Clooney plays David Cotton<br />

still gripes about his ex-wife to anyone willing to lend<br />

an ear. Roberts plays Georgia Cotton, a gallerist semiliving<br />

with her pilot boyfriend, who still gripes about<br />

her ex-husband to anyone.<br />

The bitter exes raised a nearly perfect daughter Lily<br />

(Kaitlyn Dever) who has just graduated from law<br />

school and is on her way to a prestigious job at the top<br />

law-firm in Illinois. To celebrate her accomplishments,<br />

David and Georgia paid to send her on a paid vacation<br />

to Bali before she has to get used to the soul-sucking<br />

grind of adulthood. Then Lily meets a wonderful man<br />

named Gede (Maxime Bouttier) and they plan to<br />

marry within a week’s time.<br />

Not wanting their daughter to make the same mistake<br />

they did — David and Georgia married right out of<br />

college and she put her career plans on hold to support<br />

her family — they strike a rare truce and agree to work<br />

together to sabotage the impending nuptials. While<br />

the film does not acknowledge how awful their mission<br />

is and how off the deep-end they are, the movie stars<br />

play their parts so well that they manage to infuse<br />

their characters with pathetic charm so you do not<br />

hate them for their occasional bouts of wretchedness.<br />

This romantic comedy splits its time between the<br />

two couples, one fresh in the bloom of love and the<br />

other, well, decidedly not — or so it seems. Over the<br />

course of trying to crush their daughter’s heart and<br />

spirit, the latter pair can’t help but get swept up in the<br />

magic of the island and the unresolved issues that<br />

have frayed their once loving friendship and romance.<br />

Although both couples could use more romantic chemistry,<br />

it’s hard to deny the adults are the most interesting<br />

pairing to watch, much of it due to they were given<br />

the most material to work with and had the characters<br />

who were the most developed. “Ticket to Paradise” is a<br />

movie where you see how much fun the actors had<br />

filming it and that translates out of the screen and<br />

with the audience. But with its over-reliance on the<br />

star power of Clooney and Roberts, aspects of the film<br />

suffer from a lack of attention paid to dialogue or<br />

development of secondary characters.<br />

If you want to turn off your brain and watch beautiful<br />

people do ugly things and then beautify themselves<br />

again in a majestic location, this might be something<br />

you want to check out.<br />

Dr. Kelly<br />

BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCY<br />

If your child knocks out a tooth<br />

and is hysterical and in pain, a<br />

parent’s main concern would<br />

naturally be comforting the child,<br />

but saving the tooth should also<br />

be an important element in this<br />

crisis.<br />

First, try to find the tooth after it<br />

has been dislodged. Do not to<br />

touch the root area. This is the<br />

living part of the tooth and can be<br />

easily damaged. Time is essential.<br />

A tooth’s life span will probably<br />

not last more than 30 minutes<br />

unless it is properly handled.<br />

If the tooth cannot be replanted<br />

immediately, and the child is<br />

composed, have him or her place<br />

the tooth under the tongue. The<br />

environment of the mouth will<br />

protect the tooth and the chances<br />

that replantation will be successful<br />

are greater. If the child cannot<br />

keep the tooth is his or her mouth,<br />

place the tooth in fresh milk. If<br />

milk is not available, wrap the<br />

tooth in plastic or foil. Do not let it<br />

dry out and do not put it in plain<br />

water. Then get to the dentist as<br />

quickly as possible.<br />

Prepared as a public service<br />

to promote better dental health.<br />
