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 />

from Nov. 7-11 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.<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 />
the hydrants.<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 />

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 />
