CW looks for occupants for available space in municipal complex
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
The city of Canal Winchester is looking to fill
unoccupied space at the east end of its Waterloo
Street municipal complex, but the current state
of construction costs could be standing in the
way.
At one point, before land was purchased along
Groveport Road, the Columbus Metropolitan

“The library was at over $1 million to finish
that space with their design,” said Canal
Winchester Development Director Lucas Haire,
“and they didn’t have extensive new walls that
needed to be installed.”
Haire said the work included the installation
of items such as new outlets, lighting and flooring
and a pair of small offices.
“The rest of it was going to remain as is with

the current ceiling heights and it was a million
dollars to do that,” said Haire. “The costs are
going to be significant in trying to get someone to
finish out that space. It is 7,800 square feet,
which is a significant amount of space. We have
not been marketing the space. We have reached
out to select users.”
Haire said over 4,000 square feet of the
unused space could be easily subdivided if necessary.

A new approach with city employees
By Katelyn Sattler
Staff Writer
The city of Obetz has implemented a new schedule
where employees work four nine-hour days per week,
for a total of 36 hours, with the remaining four hours
being physical and mental wellness time.
This plan was rolled out with Obetz City Council’s
approval of the new employee handbook.
“Our employees will be required for four hours a
week to dedicate time to their physical and mental
well-being in some form or fashion,” said Obetz City
Administrator Rod Davisson. “That can be yoga, meditation,
exercise, whatever that is. They will physically
do their job for 36 hours. They'll spend four additional
hours on ‘PM Time’ which counts as work time.”
Employees will still be paid for 40 hours of work a
week. With one extra day off a week with this schedule,
employees will get 52 more days off a year.
“It’s more costly to us,” said Davisson. “It’s not free.
But I think we end up with happier, healthier, motivated,
more efficient employees on more efficient
schedule with more time off.”
Obetz also increased their paid holidays from 12
days to 17 days and increased sick time by 24 hours.
Vacation time was increased. Employees will
receive 40 hours of vacation when hired, 80 hours during
years one and two, 120 hours after three years of
service, 160 hours during years four to eight, 180 hours
during years nine to 13, 200 hours during years 14-19,
and it maxes out at 240 for 20 or more years of service.
The annual bonus was renamed the year-end
longevity bonus and it kicks in during year 0-1 of
employment with the city at $750 and increases with
each year of employment. At year five, the longevity
bonus is $877, at year 10, it’s $1,067, at year 15, it’s
$1,298, at year 20, it’s $1,580, at year 25, it’s $1,922,
and maxes out at year 30 at $2,338.
Part-time employees will receive a year-end
longevity bonus, which will depend on the number of
hours worked in the calendar year.
“The workforce has changed, the workforce is
changing, and this workforce wants a better work-life
balance,” said Davisson. “They're not solely driven by
money, as long as they can afford to live. If they can
live, they want more time off. So we said, ‘All right,
here's more time off instead of more money.’”
Concerning annual raises, Davisson said, “There’s a
raise in there, but it’s not the raise you would have otherwise.
It’s a trade off. You got more time off for a
smaller raise. It’s still decent compensation. It’s substantial,
this year as we’ve switched to kind of city pay
rates. But after this it’ll be more of the 3 percent per
year you typically see.”
Addressing the question of whether this new schedule
will cause staffing issues, Davisson said, “No. We
think it will increase productivity. We have split the
work week so that our public facing operations won’t
have any change.”
Concerning a potential decrease in worker productivity,
Davisson said, “It can’t happen. What we’ve said
to them is, ‘If we see any drop off in productivity or efficiency,
this all goes away. And you can very easily be
back to a regular 40 hour workweek.’ We’re betting
that they’re going to want this schedule so bad that
they’re gonna increase their effort, productivity and
deal with anything to keep it. And we think it’s going
to increase productivity for us and increase the services
for the city.”
Davisson said it will also help the city of Obetz to
attract people, retain people, create happier people.
“We think it will ultimately tie into the physical fitness
of our people,” said Davisson. “There are strings
that come with that four hours. We will begin to roll in
HSA money based on performance standards, ultimately.
If you want your full HSA money, you may
have to quit smoking or you may have to pass a test or
you have to show that you’ve done X number of workouts.
That won’t roll in the first year, but it’ll roll in as
we get it going. Ultimately we hope then to have a
healthier, happier staff that’s more motivated to do
more work in less time. And that’s the bet we’ve taken,
which is, there are not many people out there trying
this, and it’s novel, for sure.”

LEUKOPLAKIA
Dr. Kelly
The term leukoplakia comes
from a Greek word meaning white
plate, an apt description of the
white patches that characterize
this disorder. Ill-fitting dentures or
a rough tooth rubbing against the
cheek or gums is a common
cause.
When white patches develop in
the mouths of smokers as the
body’s natural protection against
the heat of tobacco smoke, the
condition is called smoker’s
keratosis. Patches also occur if a
cud of chewing tobacco or snuff
is held in the mouth for extended
periods.
You may notice a white or grayish
patch that develops on the inside
of one cheek or on your
tongue. After a while, it may become
rough and sensitive to hot
or spicy foods. If you do observe
such a patch, see your dentist. If
the patch persists after treatment,
a biopsy specimen of the area
may be taken and examined
under a microscope. About three
percent of such patches are early
signs of mouth cancer.
Prepared as a public service to
promote better dental health.

Proposed development
A developer is proposing to build more than 500
rental homes, townhouses and apartments, along with
a small strip shopping center, on 72 acres near Canal
Winchester on the northwest corner of Winchester
Pike and Brice Road in Madison Township. The developer
has requested for the property to be rezoned and
annexed into the city of Columbus. Currently the property
is in the Canal Winchester school district, but per
original Win-Win Agreement documents, if the property
is annexed into the city of Columbus it will become
part of the Columbus City Schools district.

“It costs less than the last time around,” said Sims,
“however, it’s still expensive.”
According to Sims, the proposed cost for an open
shelter house is approximately $787,000. The cost for
an enclosed shelter house is $862,000, which Sims said
would allow a longer period of use during the year.
The proposed 60 x 40-foot building could seat over
100 people and includes a warming kitchen.

Obetz updates appropriations
By Katelyn Sattler
Staff Writer
Obetz City Council approved some changes to the
city’s 2023 appropriations.
Changes include:
•Mayor Angela Kirk said the amount set aside for
the siren fees (for the sirens that go off every
Wednesday) has been increased from is $9,000 to
$10,000. The city pays the fee in part to Franklin
County to help offset costs for operating and maintaining
the sirens.
•The appropriation for the mayor’s court computer
was $750, but it has been increased by $4,000 to
$4,750. Law Director Gene Hollins said, “The city has
a subscription payment for mayor’s court software that
we use. We’ve always had this computer fund, but
apparently, in the past, accumulating here and there,
and this is the perfect type of expenditure for it. So this
year we figured out that we were taking out of the general
fund. We shifted over to the computer fund. We
will reduce the general fund expenditure by $4,750 and
pay for it through the mayor’s court computer fund.”
•Authorizing payment on a contract with Waste
Management of Ohio. The current amount is $505,000
which will be increased to $517,000. In this ordinance,
council authorized a payment not to exceed $37,197 to
Waste Management of Ohio.

Fun ways to stay active
Physical activity is an important component
of overall health. Health experts
advise that exercise can increase lean body
mass, prevent conditions like diabetes and
cardiovascular disease, improve balance,
and positively affect mental health/cognition.
Exercise also can foster socialization
with others, helping people overcome boredom
and isolation.Explore these methods
for staying active.
Explore senior center offerings
Hikes, walking tours, dances, and other
activities all serve as entertaining ways to
get out and about while meeting some fitness
goals.
Garden or do yard work
The Office of Disease Prevention and
Health Promotions says adults should get
150 minutes of moderate exercise per
week. Raking leaves, mowing the lawn,
digging in flower beds, trimming bushes,
and other outdoor tasks could help a person
meet this quota in a way that doesn’t
seem like exercise at all.
Play games with grandchildren
Take infants or toddlers for walks or
push them in strollers. Attach a child seat
or towing carriage to a bicycle and ride
around the neighborhood. Play games such
as hide-and-seek. If it’s snowing, make a
snowman.
Take up a new hobby
Perhaps learning to salsa dance or taking
Zumba will be fun? Pickleball has
caught on across the nation.
The sport is a mix of tennis, racquetball
and badminton that caters to all ages.
Joining a bowling team is another way to
get active and meet new people.

Franklin County Board of Commissioners: Commissioner John O’Grady, President, Commissioner Kevin L. Boyce, Commissioner Erica C. Crawley
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners and The Franklin County Office on Aging join with the Messenger Newspaper in providing this update on aging issues in Franklin County.
Franklin County Office on Aging
Extends Free Home-Delivered Meals Program
Through End of 2023
The Franklin County Office on Aging has extended its free
Home-Delivered Meals program through the end of 2023. With
this extension, Franklin County residents aged 60 and older are
eligible to receive free home-delivered meals without income
verification through Dec. 31, 2023. In April 2020, at the start of
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Franklin County Office on Aging
paused any income verification requirements for home-delivered
meals – a service available through the agency’s Franklin
County Senior Options program.
“While the pandemic is now more manageable, many older
adults simply cannot afford the increased price of groceries or
meals due to their fixed incomes, as well as the impact of inflation,”
said Interim Director Chanda Wingo. “Extending this
service through 2023 gives our seniors continued access to
affordable and nutritious food that is crucial in maintaining
their health and well-being.”
through Franklin County Senior Options, which has been providing
community-based services to residents since 1993.
Senior Options empowers Franklin County residents aged 60
and older with the necessary tools needed to maintain their
independence. Additional services available through Senior
Options include adult day care, personal care, respite care,
minor home repair and emergency response systems. The program
also helps ease the minds of family members by connecting
them to support services so they can provide the best care
for their older parent, family member or friend with limited
abilities.
To sign up for free home-delivered meals or to learn more about
the services available through the Franklin County Office on
Aging, call (614) 525-6200 or visit officeonaging.org.
The agency delivered over 1.1 million meals to FranklinCounty
seniors in 2022, serving over 7,000 residents – a 25% increase
from residents served in 2021.
The Agency’s home-delivered meals program is offered

CWAHS seeks volunteers
By Rick Palsgrove
Managing Editor
The Canal Winchester Area Historical
Society has been preserving local history
for 48 years and is looking for helping
hands to continue its work.
Founded in 1975 to “preserve and promote
the rich history of our community,”
the CWAHS currently has approximately
200 members.
“The CWAHS is dedicated to preserving
the history and legacy of our beautiful community,”
said Bruna Brundige. “The society
is committed to educational engagement
with those of all ages. We are currently in
the process of establishing a CW Museum
with a projected opening in early 2024.
Housed in one of the school buildings, the
museum will continue to enlighten students
and adults about our rich and important
standing in central Ohio.”
She said volunteers are important to the
CWAHS and its efforts to preserve local
history and to hold special events.
“With so many events throughout the
year, we need many more than the 14
board members to make it all happen,” said
Brundige.
Some of the events the CWAHS holds
throughout the year include: the Annual
Gala — May 6; Golf Outing - June 2;
Hosting CW Farmers Market - May to
September; Ice Cream Social & Blue
Ribbon Pie Contest — Labor Day weekend;
Founders Day — Oct. 14; The Historic
Ghost Tour — October; and A Storybook
“With so many events throughout
the year, we need many more than
the 14 board members to make it all
happen.”
- Bruna Brundige
CWAHS
Christmas — Dec. 1 and 2.
The CWAHS also cares for the historical
complex at Oak and North High streets,
which includes the O.P. Chaney Grain
Elevator, the Prentiss School, and the
Queen of the Line train depot.
“The train depot is call the Queen of the
Line because it was considered the finest
depot,” said Brundige. “The O.P. Chaney
Grain Elevator, currently under renovation,
is one of the very last of its age and
type left in the midwest. The Prentiss
School is a beautiful example of a mid
1800s schoolhouse. To have all three of
these on one property is truly a gift for all
to enjoy.”
The CWAHS is funded through memberships,
hosted events, private donations,
and grants.
Membership costs are: Individual,
$10/year; Student, $8/year; Family,
$30/year; Corporate, $100/year; and
Lifetime Member, $1.

Robotics & Automation is one of the new high school programs
at Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools.
Eastland-Fairfield programs expand
Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools will expand
programming for high school students in 2023-24. Applications
are being accepted for eligible high school students.
New to the high school lineup for the 2023-24 school year will
be Robotics & Automation, which will be housed at Eastland
Career Center in Groveport. The Robotics & Automation program
addresses industry needs at the crossroads of mechanical,
electrical, and computer engineering. The program will prepare
students for a pathway toward additional education in the engineering,
mechatronics, and/or automation fields, or to enter the
workforce as an operator or technician immediately upon graduation.
Careers may guide students toward industries such as
manufacturing, mining, aviation, and transport.
Also in the fall of 2023 will be the revamped Natural
Resource Management satellite program, which will be housed
at New Albany-Plain Local High School. The 75-acre wetland
nature preserve in New Albany will serve as students’ laboratory,
giving them the best opportunity to examine, explore, and
study the natural world and the problems that surround it.
Two existing programs will also see expansion. Teaching
Professions, a program designed to give students interested in
pursuing a career in education, will open a second section at
Fairfield Career Center. The program features the same elements
as the satellite program in Gahanna-Lincoln High School,
which introduces students to a variety of classroom settings and
management styles to educate the students of tomorrow.
The addition of these programs and sections occurs following
the largest incoming first-year class at EFCTS in its history,
nearly topping 1,000 new students entering the 2022-23 school
year. The 2022-23 school year also featured the introduction of
a Sports Medicine program at Gahanna-Lincoln and New
Albany-Plain Local high schools, an additional section of
Employability Prep, and the relocation of multiple programs in
order to better serve the student population.
For information on these and any of Eastland-Fairfield’s programs,
visit EastlandFairfield.com/programs.
Family tours are available to view program labs, preview
academic learning spaces, and meet with Career Services specialists.
Visit EastlandFairfield.com/tours more information.
Applications are being accepted through the summer. The
priority application period ends Feb. 10. To apply or to review
the application process, visit EastlandFairfield.com/apply.
Dave Dobos
STATE REPRESENTATIVE
What a
whirlwind of a
January it has
been!
With a mere 21 days under my belt as a state
legislator, I am working hard to “learn the
ropes” at the State House and meet as many
people as possible to so I can become effective
quickly and advocate tirelessly for our
District.
On January 3, I was officially sworn in as the
State Representative for Ohio’s 10th House
District. Representing the passions and interests
of the citizens of West, Southwest, and
South Columbus, Urbancrest, and Grove City,
I will continue to work for the economic opportunity
and prosperity and quality education
our District deserves. Although my
journey as State Representative has just
begun, I am eager to fulfill these promises as
I endeavor to ensure that all the citizens from
our District’s communities have access to a
comfortable life through good-paying jobs
and careers, safe school environments, and
first-class educational opportunities.
Pictured below is a snapshot of me officially
swearing into office. In this photo, I am accompanied
by my two sons, Alex (left) and
Joseph (right), both of whom are an extremely
important part of my life. Additionally,
I am accompanied by Ohio Supreme
Court Associate Justice Pat Fischer and outgoing
Ohio House Speaker Bob Cupp.
I also am proud to announce that on Monday,
January 23, I was named Vice Chair of the
Higher Education Committee. After serving
eight years on the Columbus Board of Education
and over 40 years interviewing prospective
undergraduate students for my alma
mater, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT), I am confident that I can help
shape the brightest future for young people
as they pursue their advanced education.
Furthermore, I am happy to announce that I
also was appointed as one of two legislators
to the Ohio Rare Disease Advisory Council.
(Dave Dobos represents the 10th District in
the Ohio House of Representatives. He reports
regularly on his activities in this position
and his campaign has paid for this communication
with you.)

I was driving down the street one day and noticed
each house had about three or four cars in the driveway
- one house, multiple cars.
Memories came to my mind. What I remember was,
one house, one car.
The dad drove to work and the children walked,
rode their bikes, or took the bus to school.
Dad worked to pay the bills while mom stayed
home, did the laundry, ironed the clothes, cleaned the
house, and cooked and served meals for the whole family.
Then, better times came, or so they say.
An automatic washing machine was invented - of
course for a price - but it helped mom.
Then came a dryer, a television, a dishwasher, and
so on, all at a cost. So mom had to get a part time job
to help pay for all these new work savers.
Mom bought a new robe to wear around the house
as her house dresses just would not do. Then came
babysitter fees.
Mom had to get a full time job so now she needed a
car to get to work. A car that needed gasoline and
insurance, more expenses.
The kids grew up, moved out, and got married. That
didn’t last long. One of the kids and his or her mate
moved back home to save money for a house, washing
machine, dryer, television, etc.
You get the picture. So now we have four cars in the
driveway!
Mom’s getting tired by now, so they eat out more

In time the kids move out and mom goes on Social
Security.
She also goes back to washing clothes, cooking,
cleaning, and taking naps. She takes care of the grandchildren
so their parents can go to work and buy cars,
washing machines, televisions, etc.
Now there is just one car in the driveway. But other
cars are coming and going all day long. This makes
grandma and grandpa happy knowing they are still
needed to take care of their grandchildren. They are
still wanted and loved.
And they are especially happy that all their appliances
are paid for, including the car in the driveway!
