Rodeo and welding 

Eastland Career Center welding students Allie 

Beerman and Arly Kisner are not just breaking the 

mold in their school’s welding lab, but also in their 

shared hobby. The two met through the rodeo circuit 

in elementary school and both rode in the 

National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, 

Wyo., last summer. Beerman is a senior at 

Hamilton Township Schools while Kisner is a junior 

at Teays Valley Schools. They attend the 

Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools’ 

welding program at Eastland Career Center in 

Groveport. “I like to design and create new 

things,” Kisner said. They have learned important 

life lessons in rodeo that they are applying in the 

welding program and when planning for their 

futures. “A lesson that I’ve learned from rodeo is 

that hard work and determination beat talent 

every time,” said Beerman. “I’ve learned to do 

whatever it takes to achieve my goals and I will 

continue that mentality moving forward.” Kisner 

said she’s learned that “you have to work for what 

you want, not wish for it.” Beerman recently 

applied to join the Union Local 189 for plumbers 

and pipefitters. Kisner plans to pursue a bachelor’s 

degree in architecture while continuing to 

use her welding skills for summer work, including 

assisting with her dad’s business. She’s eyeing 

colleges that have a rodeo program in hopes that 

this can remain a part of her life.

CW looks to upgrade pedestrian safety in its downtown 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Pedestrian safety issues could result in 

changes to Canal Winchester’s downtown 

streetscape. 

Public Service Director Matt Peoples reported 

on potential safety changes to a downtown intersection 

and pedestrian crossing during Canal 

Winchester City Council’s Feb. 6 meeting. 

“As part of the design for the 2023 street program, 

we started talking about the downtown 

streetscape,” Peoples said. “It really started with 

some pedestrian safety issues a couple of years 

ago. Residents came in with some concerns.” 

According to Peoples, in addition to a lack of 

clear direction regarding crossings at the intersection 

of High and Waterloo streets and trees heaving 

up tiles near CornerSmiths, bricks at the bottom of 

the steps at 10 N. High St. are deteriorating. 

Peoples said there are no true crosswalks, just 

a large depressed curb which he said is inconducive 

to direct pedestrian routes. The work dates 

from a 1992 renovation of the area. The same type 

of concerns were studied where pedestrians cross 

from Shades to the other side of South High 

Street. 

“Everyone uses the existing brickwork as a 

crosswalk,” said Peoples. “We thought it would be 

a very good idea to put a (designated) crosswalk 

there.”

Design suggestions also included a gateway arch in 

the area, like the ones in Stradley Park. 

“We were planning for this to possibly be thrown 

into the street program,” said Peoples. “The total price, 

not including the archway, is about $750,000. That’s 

not something we really have budgeted. We do want to 

address pedestrian safety down there, but we need 

much bigger improvements from what we have now.” 

The budget for the annual street program is approximately 

$1 million. The cost for the intersection 

improvement is projected at $500,000 and another 

$250,000 for the street crossing near Shades. 

“Hopefully, we can get this in next year’s budget,” 

Peoples said. “That will be our project for that. This is 

part of our vision. Downtown defines Canal 

Winchester.”

Daycare project in Obetz progressing 

By Katelyn Sattler 

Staff Writer 

Fountain of Knowledge Academy is looking at putting 

in a new daycare at the southwest corner of 

Groveport and Bixby roads. 

Founding Partner and Principal Architect of 

SHYFT, Steve Reynolds, came to a recent city of Obetz 

Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to present 

the changes to the proposed day care. 

The approximately 9,300 square foot daycare facility 

would have a capacity of up to 170 children. A 

secure checkpoint for parents dropping off their children 

is at the west end of the building. 

Reynolds said they are going to be bringing in colored 

glass and try to provide a whimsical look. The 

building is intended to be more plain in some areas to 

Dr. Bender Scholarship 

Canal Winchester City Council announced two 

$1,000 scholarships will be awarded in honor of the late 

Dr. John Bender, a former council member for 17 years. 

Graduating seniors can review eligibility requirements 

and submit applications online at www.canalwinchesterohio.gov. 

Applications are also available in the guidance 

offices at Canal Winchester High School and Bloom- 

Carroll High School. Completed applications and 

materials are due by 4:30 p.m. on March 31. 

Recipients of the Dr. John Bender scholarship will be 

recognized at the April 17 Canal Winchester City 

Council meeting. 

illustrate the difference between the glass, the light, 

the shadows, and the building and how that plays into 

the different visuals. 

“Our intent is the building will look different at 9 

a.m. than it does at 3 p.m. and than it does at night 

and that’s intentional,” said Reynolds. 

The retention pond for stormwater runoff was 

moved to the west. It now sits between the proposed 

day care and the right-in-right-out drive along 

Groveport Road. The retention pond now has an eight 

foot safety ridge around the perimeter. The retention 

pond will be four feet deep. 

Mayor Angela Kirk asked to see an actual sample of 

the building material next time. 

The commission members liked what they saw and 

Reynolds could start the process of moving forward. 

Irish music concert 

Groveport Town Hall, 648 Main St., will host a free 

Irish music concert featuring the band the Ladies of 

Longland on March 4 from 11 a.m. to noon. Doors open 

at 10:30 a.m. 

Enjoy live music and sample Irish themed refreshments. 

Space is limited.

Madison Christian School recently donated 420 

canned food items to the Obetz Food Pantry. 

did have an alternative to add the doors and enclose 

the structure completely to create the three season 

shelter we were intending previously. That’s an additional 

$75,000.” 

The total for the contract with Ferguson 

Construction Company, including alternatives and a 

$3,600 savings in insulation, is $848,697. The contract 

was unanimously approved by council. The structure 

will be located next to the farmhouse in the park away 

from the ballfields. 

When asked about the construction timeline, Sims 

said, “It’s a six-month duration. Obviously, there’s 

some significant material acquisition early on. The 

hope is we would be complete by the first of September. 

My goal is to be able to have it for use this fall.” 

•Council approved amending a city ordinance pertaining 

to publication of notices in newspapers. 

Finance Director Amanda Jackson said the city’s publication 

deadline versus newspaper deadlines can be a 

struggle. Notifications for items such as public hearing 

variances and items appearing before planning and 

zoning will now appear on the city’s website. 

Art display in CW 

As part of a new partnership with the 

Canal Winchester Art Guild, local artists 

will display their work in the lobby of 

Canal Winchester City Hall and the Canal 

Winchester Community Center, 45 E. 

Waterloo St. The galleries will be open for 

viewing during regular business hours, 

Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Contact 

information for each artist is available for 

those interested in purchasing a piece. The 

art is changed quarterly.


Dinner theatre at its best 


Staff Writer 

A musical tradition started 

more than 30 years ago is still 

going strong under the leadership 

of Canal Winchester High 

School teacher and director 

Todd Phillips, who is retiring at 

the end of this school year. 

Phillips is stepping down 

from daily classroom duties this 

summer, but the originator of 

the district’s annual madrigal 

dinner theatre production– 

which takes place this year in 

the Canal Winchester High 

School cafetorium, 300 

Washington St., on Feb. 18 and 

19–still plans to help out with 

after-school theatre activities 

after he retires. 

For now, he has one more 

production to bring to the stage 

and a memory full of past performances. 

“Our first show was in Feb. 

1990,” said Phillips. “We started 

the productions for two main 

reasons: first, there was nothing 

going on at that time of year 

and second, we were only doing 

one theater production per year. 

We didn’t have enough experience 

to start doing full musicals. 

I thought this would be a nice 

bridge into musical theater. Little did I 

realize that it would turn into a threedecade 

plus tradition.” 

According to Phillips, madrigal dinners 

are a popular style of dinner concerts for 

many choral programs. However, Canal 

Winchester has taken the theatrical form 

in a direction unlike many others. 

While period dinner concert performances, 

interactive theater and 

Shakespeare productions are available in 

many communities, Phillips, along with 

student actors and his production team, 

decided to marry the three popular aspects 

into one complete production. 

Over the years, Phillips penned and 

rotated a dozen adaptions of various 

Shakespearean plays for the madrigal format. 

This year’s production is “Two 

Gentleman of Verona”–one of 

Shakespeare’s earliest works. 

“I wanted a new challenge,” said 

Phillips. “The other shows I have done two 

or three times. The first couple of years we 

did not do a Shakespeare play. The initial 

introduction of Shakespeare plays was a 

bit of a shock to our students. Once they 

realized how great these stories are, they 

realized they can actually do them.” 

As the years moved on, the number of 

students and their dedication to the quality 

of work grew. Phillips now has two to 

three times more students auditioning 

than parts available. 

Audience involvement is a major selling 

point for the annual production. However, 

included in the mix–and from the very

beginning–are select audience members 

who become active participants in the production, 

such as administrators, teachers 

and community leaders. 

“They make the best participants,” said 

Phillips. 

Creativity is a hallmark of theatre and 

two years ago, due to Covid restrictions, 

Phillips was forced to dig deep to come up 

with a way to still bring Shakespeare to a 

community when staging a dinner theatre 

was out of the question. 

“The students and I really wanted to do 

the play and music for our families,” said 

Phillips. “We rehearsed and videotaped 

“Twelfth Night” and the music and then 

produced a ‘Madrigal (No) Dinner’ movie, 

which is available on YouTube.” 

Former students often return years after 

graduation to enjoy the madrigal from the 

other side of the stage. Parents and friends 

who longer have children in school still 

attend the productions or volunteer their 

time to help out behind the scenes. 

The “Two Gentlemen of Verona” madrigal 

involves approximately 100 student 

actors and crew members. The pair of performances 

include vocal soloists and 

ensembles, guitar ensemble, Renaissance 

recorder consort, English country dancers, 

and a full five-course catered meal. 

Tickets are on sale–and sell out quickly–for 

the Feb. 18, 7 p.m., and Feb. 19, 2 

p.m. performances and are $18, which 

includes the play, music, dancing and

“80 for Brady” enjoyable and touching 

I do not often experience a conflict of the 

heart when it comes to choosing which 

movie to review for my column, but making 

a decision as to whether I wanted to give 

my time and my dwindling coffers to “80 

for Brady” had me well and truly torn. 

Editor’s Notebook 

Dedra 

Cordle 

I did have an interest 

in this film because 

it stars four legendary 

actors: Sally Field, 

Jane Fonda, Rita 

Moreno, and Lily 

Tomlin. But I also did 

not have an interest in 

this film because it 

also stars Tom Brady 

— one of the most legendary 

NFL quarterbacks 

who recently 

retired for the second time and whose presence 

looms over this film as much as his 

specter will throughout the sport for all of 

eternity. 

Unlike most football fans whose loyalties 

do not lay with the New England 

Patriots (or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or 

whatever team on the west coast team that 

may entice him to come out of retirement 

later this spring), I have never been a 

Brady-hater, but man has he been grating 

for the past couple years. First there was 

the acceptance of the pandemic-relief funds 

for his multi-million dollar health and 

wellness business, then there was the 

drawn out first retirement that had him 

basking in thousands of puff pieces for 

months and then taking it all back, then 

there were the bratty sideline antics when 

things were not going his way for once, and 

then there was the non-fungible token 

scandal, and now I am just about tired of 

seeing him and hearing about him. If you 

add all that up, and then throw in the fact 

that he is a producer on this film and gets 

a percentage of the box office profit, it 

makes you not want to be involved in anything 

he is involved in, right? 

Columbus Metropolitan Library partnered with BalletMet and 

the Columbus Symphony to make a select number of passes available 

for library customers to check out for free. 

One BalletMet Culture Pass will be available at each of CML’s 

23 locations beginning two weeks before each performance during 

the 2022-23 season. Each pass is valid for up to two people (children 

or adults). Ten Columbus Symphony Culture Passes will be 

available at each library location beginning two weeks before each 

performance during the 2022-23 season. Each pass is valid for one 

adult (children under 16 are free). Passes are valid for 

Masterworks performances only. 

The Culture Pass program enables library customers to borrow 

passes just as they would a book: using their library card. This 

one-time pass, which must be checked out in person, grants customers 

limited free access to institutions that would otherwise 

charge admission fees. For information, visit 

columbuslibrary.org/culture-pass. 

After much internal debate between 

this film and M. Night Shyamalan’s 

dystopian adaptation, “Knock at the 

Cabin,” I decided to stick with a vow I 

made to support novels, movies, and television 

shows that are women-led, womencentered, 

and showcase people of a certain 

age living active and full lives. That even 

includes women’s lives that partially 

revolve around finding inspiration from a 

famous athlete named Tom Brady. 

“80 for Brady” is an infectiously joyous 

film. It has moments that will make you 

cringe or even give you a headache because 

of how saccharine it can be, but it is also an 

engaging and lighthearted story about four 

friends who take comfort in sport and in 

each other. Thanks in large part to the 

chemistry between the main cast, “80 for 

Brady” has a charm that shines through 

despite being centered around someone 

who seems so devoid of it at times. 

Loosely inspired by a true story, “80 for 

Brady” follows longtime best friends Betty 

(Field), Trish (Fonda), Maura (Moreno) 

and Lou (Lily Tomlin) whose love for Tom 

Brady and the New England Patriots 

knows no bounds. Despite having lived on 

the east coast for most of their lives, the 

quartet had little interest in football before 

Tom Brady came onto the scene. In fact, 

they really didn’t want to watch that fateful 

game between the Pats and the New 

York Jets but had to because Lou’s television 

would not change the channel. When a 

young Tom Brady came in for an injured 

Drew Bledsoe, the friends were smitten by 

his good looks and calm demeanor in the 

pocket. Instant fans were made that day, 

and watching him play throughout the 

years helped Lou through her cancer treatments, 

took Maura’s mind off the loss of 

her husband, gave Betty a release from her 

demanding husband, and allowed Trish to 

find a second career writing Rob 

Gronkowski erotica. (Seriously.) 

Despite their team making several 

appearances at the Super Bowl, the friends 

had never attended one of the big games 

(probably because they cost more than a 

down payment on a new home) but decide 


to enter a contest through a local radio station 

that would send them down to 

Houston to see the 2017 matchup with the 

Atlanta Falcons. Having little confidence 

that their story of finding perseverance 

through watching Tom Brady and the team 

would win them the ultimate prize, they 

try to put it out of their minds and hearts. 

But then Lou makes the announcement 

that they did snag the ultimate prize and 

they would soon be embarking on a journey 

towards “the best day of their lives.” 

Naturally, things do not always do as 

planned, especially in a comedy that features 

Fonda and Tomlin together with all 

of their chaotic energy. 

Written by “Booksmart” scribes Emily 

Halpern and Sarah Haskins, the script is a 

nod to the fact that there is no age limit 

when it comes to having fun. Not only do 

the characters have a good time as they get 

involved in various shenanigans during 

their Super Bowl experience, but it seems 

as if the primary and secondary actors are 

having a good time, too. Watching all of 

this together makes the action all the more 

engaging to the audience too, despite how 

outlandish some of the scenes may get. 

Even with the more farcical elements 

within this story, everything that happens 

in this film is well-intentioned and 

designed to garner laughs. Despite the 

overall lighthearted tone of the film, there 

are moments in which the story concentrates 

of real-life issues related to cancer, 

death, and love — all of which we can relate 

to. 

As a credit to the writers and director 

Kyle Marvin, all of the transitions between 

the silly and the serious feel natural to the 

development of the story and, as a result, 

makes “80 for Brady” as enjoyable as it is 

touching — even with all of the mentions 

and cameo appearances of a certain newly 

retired quarterback.

Managing Editor 

Certain bands only strike gold once 

with songs that become “one hit wonders,” 

but that singularity does not diminish the 

music. 

The Groveport Madison Area 

Community Choir is celebrating one hit 

wonders with its upcoming show, “One 

Hit Wonders: A Musical Variety Show,” to 

be held in the Groveport Madison High 

School auditorium 4475 S. Hamilton 

Road, on Feb. 25. Show times are 1 p.m. 

and 7 p.m. 

“There are so many ‘One Hit Wonders’ 

(songs performed or written by artists 

that only ever had one top 40 hit) that it 

seemed like a good choice for a great selection 

of music,” said Groveport Madison 

Area Community Choir Director Terri 

Christensen. 

Christensen said one of the highlights 

of this year’s show is a solo/video tribute 

from Lori Motts-Byrd honoring Vietnam 

Helicopter pilots with the song. “Spirit in 

the Sky.” 

“The segment is introduced by choir 

member Ron White, who was a pilot in 

Vietnam,” said Christensen. “It proves to 

be quite moving.” 

Currently the Groveport Madison Area 

Community Choir has 80 adult members 

and 17 youths with at least 20 back stage 

and lobby volunteers. 

“It’s a very diverse group of people that 

comes together to give back to the community 

by providing fun and quality entertainment,” 

said Christensen. “A portion of 

the proceeds go to charity (such as 

Groveport Madison Human Needs) to 

help folks in the area in need. The choir is 

a family. They come together for other 

events throughout the year to help in the 

community as well. Our members are 

from all over central Ohio.”

Jarvis sworn in as new trustee 


Staff Writer 

Long time former Canal 

Winchester city councilman Bruce 

Jarvis was recently sworn in as 

Madison Township’s newest trustee, 

replacing Michele Reynolds who was 

elected in November to the state senate. 

A Madison Township resident 

since 1991, Jarvis was appointed to 

Canal Winchester Council in 1996 

and served until 2010 when he 

resigned to lead what was then called 

Main Street Canal Winchester, later 

reorganized as Destination: Canal 

Winchester (D:CW). 

Jarvis and then D:CW President 

Bob Garvin led an effort to restore 

the Interurban Depot in Canal 

Winchester and founded the Canal 

Winchester Blues & Ribfest. After 

resigning from D:CW at the end of 

2015, he was re-elected to one more 

term on city council in 2016, serving 

a total of 18 years. 

When asked why he wanted to return to public service, 

Jarvis said, “When Michele Reynolds was elected 

to state senate last November, I knew there would be 

a call to finish the last year of her term,” said Jarvis. 

“I considered my skills and experience to be an asset 

and wished to apply those in support of Madison 

Township. I assure township residents that I am keenly 

aware that they are the ultimate customer and that 

I will strive daily to ensure township services are provided 

in the most effective, efficient and professional 

way possible.” 

Jarvis foresees one of the biggest challenges facing 

the township to be maintaining and enhancing township 

services. He said the cost of providing services continues 

to rise and township leaders must be smart about priorities 

and potential outside financial assistance. 

In identifying township strengths, Jarvis said, 

“When it comes to fire and police protection, the township 

has a great and welldeserved 

reputation within the 

community. At times it is literally 

a matter of life or death 

depending on the professionalism 

of these organizations. 

Equally critical are the employees 

who maintain the roads in 

the unincorporated areas of the 

township; the same roads needed 

by emergency units and the 

residents.” 

Jarvis felt if the trustee position 

is half as interesting as he 

thinks it will be, it is likely he 

will run for the seat in the 

November election for the next 

four-year term. His Jan. 26 

appointment was to finish out 

Reynolds’ term, which expires 

at the end of the year. 

“All I can say is that when 

you experience the ability to 

BRUCE JARVIS 

make a positive difference for 

you and your neighbors through 

public service, you naturally 

want to do more...that’s why I serve,” said Jarvis. 

According to a township press release, trustees 

John Pritchard and Katherine Chipps cited Jarvis’ 

past local elected public service and the lengthy local 

community involvement he brings to the position that 

helped finalize their decision. 

Initially, seven individuals submitted resumes for 

the open seat, but before the first round of interviews, 

one candidate withdrew. Six candidates underwent 

two interviews each, one with the department heads 

and the other with the two trustees. The trustees narrowed 

their choice down to two individuals and felt 

that as the day-to-day managers of township departments, 

it was important for department heads to have 

interaction and feedback regarding the candidates. 

Reynolds resigned from her position as trustee 

effective Dec. 31, 2022, and Jarvis will fulfill her unexpired 

term through Dec. 31, 2023. 

CW to host second Community Plan workshop 

The city of Canal Winchester is assembling the 

building blocks for a brighter future with its new 

Community Plan — an ambitious policy document that 

will inform development decisions in the city and 

shape the community for decades to come, according to 

city officials. 

Through interactive, facilitated workshops where 

residents, business owners, and stakeholders can collaborate 

openly, the community is crafting vital components 

to provide the basis of the plan. 

The upcoming workshop will articulate strategies 

for economic development, transportation, and sustainability 

through a series of roundtable sessions. 

Additional collaborative sessions will also gauge development 

preferences for growth areas along Diley Road, 

Bixby Road, and the historic Waterloo village. This 

process will culminate in the community’s diverse perspectives 

integrated into a comprehensive vision for 

the draft plan. 

The second Community Workshop will take place 

Feb. 22-23 in the Council Chambers room at Canal 

Winchester City Hall, 45 E Waterloo St. It will feature 

a series of working sessions, roundtable discussions, 

and public events. 

“The public participation thus far in the planning 

process has been great,” said Mayor Mike Ebert. “This 

next set of workshops will take the conversations to 

the next level by starting to look at some of the data we 

have been able to collect along the way.” 

Open Houses, with fun and interactive events suitable 

for the entire family, will take place Feb. 22 from 

6-9 p.m., and Feb. 23 from noon - 2 p.m. The workshop 

will begin Feb. 22, with an Economic Development 

Roundtable, followed by a collaborative work session 

on development preferences. Activities Feb. 23 feature 

a Transportation and Sustainability Roundtable followed 

by further refinement of development preferences 

based on public feedback. All Workshop events 

are open to the public. Visit https://www.cwgrowingtogether.com/ 

to see the complete schedule. 

The city of Canal Winchester and its Steering 

Committee kicked off this process in June 2022. With 

the assistance of McKenna, a consulting firm specializing 

in community planning and design, the city will 

create a plan that addresses current needs while facilitating 

sustainable growth. 

Those unable to join in-person can access workshop 

presentations on the project website, 

https://www.cwgrowingtogether.com/. The draft plan 

will be available for review in May 2023.

ROOT EXPOSURE SENSITIVITY 

Dr. Kelly 

As we grow older, a number of 

factors may cause gums to recede, 

leaving the upper portion of 

the root exposed and vulnerable. 

Although this shrinking of the 

gums, called gingival recession, is 

age-related, it is not found in 

every older adult and varies in degree 

with each individual. 

Gum recession and exposed 

roots may be the ultimate result 

of a build-up plaque that was not 

adequately removed. Also, improper 

or aggressive tooth brushing 

can irritate the gums and 

gradually cause them to recede. A 

patient’s root sensitivity can range 

from mild to severe and be triggered 

by heat, cold, touch, and 

certain spicy foods. 

Treatment of sensitivity begins 

with fluoride, which is absorbed 

by the root, remineralizes the 

tooth surface, and lessens the 

pain. If you don’t find relief with a 

fluoride rinse, your dentist may 

prescribe a gel containing a 

higher fluoride concentration. In 

more extreme cases, your dentist 

may recommend coating the root 

with a protective veneer. 

Prepared as a public service 

to promote better dental health.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE 

Committee 

Assignments 

Announced 

The Ohio House of Representatives legislative 

committees for the 135th General Assembly 

were named this past week. I am excited to 

share that I have been named Vice Chair of the 

Higher Education Committee. Additionally, I will 

serve on the following committees: Finance 

Subcommittee for Primary & Secondary Education, 

Economic & Workforce Development, Technology 

& Innovation, and Insurance. Eagerly 

stepping into these roles, these committees will 

enable me to both contribute in areas I have 

experience and some expertise and position me 

well to advocate for our district’s communities 

as we work to bring more and better jobs to the 

area. As Vice Chair of the Higher Education 

Committee and member of the Finance Subcommittee 

for Primary and Secondary Education, 

I am determined to improve access to 

quality education at all levels for our young 

people here in District 10, as well as throughout 

Ohio. 

Beyond committee appointments, I also have 

been busy meeting with constituents from 

District 10 as well as recognizing some of them 

for their accomplishments. In late January, I had 

the opportunity to attend Congressman Mike 

Carey’s official Military Academy Nomination 

Reception at the Grove City City Hall, where five 

of our finest students from Ohio’s 10th District 

received nominations to prestigious military 

academies. The students, their nominations, 

and current high schools are as follows: Isaac 

Carter, Naval Academy, Grove City High School; 

Brian Fitzsimmons, Naval Academy, Bishop 

Ready High School; Luke McCoy, Air Force Academy 

and Naval Academy, Grove City Christian 

School; Samantha Paduchik, Air Force Academy, 

Grove City High School; Zachary Swierz, West 

Point, Bishop Ready High School. 

Pictured below is a photo of West Point 

appointee Zachary Swierz. To the left is Grove 

City Mayor Ike Stage; I am on the right. Mr. 

Swierz is a senior at Bishop Ready High School 

and will head to West Point in late June to begin 

summer orientation and preparation for his 

plebe (freshman) year.

Steve and Christine Sisko saw 

many families in need in their 

community, so they stepped up to 

help. 

Founded in 2015, the Siskos 

run Sisko Kidz, a non-profit foundation 

in Columbus that aims to 

aid under-resourced families 

through material donations, education, 

and community involvement 

opportunities. 

Children are particularly vulnerable 

during tough transitions, 

like divorce or being removed 

from domestic violence situations, 

and the challenges can 

often leave certain needs unmet. 

The compassion for struggling 

families began when the Siskos 

had different experiences growing 

up watching family members 

struggle to provide specifically for 

disabled loved ones. This compassion 

carried on to when three of their daughters’ cheer teammates 

had a hard time obtaining what was needed to compete, such as 

shoes or transportation to out of town competitions. They were 

three girls with a troubled home life and the Siskos brought them 

under their wing by helping meet those needs. The girls came back 

later in life as well-to-do young adults and thanked them for being 

a consistent helping hand that they now attribute their current 

success to. 

“This was the first example we saw of what kids can do with 

themselves if you give them the resources and a bit of a structured 

environment.” Christine said. 

This experience drove Christine to begin what is now Sisko 

Kidz from her kitchen. She would see someone in need through 

Facebook, find whatever they were lacking and then Steve, after 

work, would spend his time doing local pick-ups and drop offs. The 

couple eventually collected a surplus of resources through donations 

and personal purchases which they stored in their backyard 

shed to distribute. 

The initial desire was to help families of children with disabilities, 

but the spectrum soon broadened to anyone with a kid that 

could use some help. 

The Siskos are involved in their community through coaching 

and the local school systems and began to catch on to who was 

struggling within their circles. This connectivity provided them 

with many people excited to donate what they could. That backyard 

shed has since grown to a 2,800 square foot storage unit next 

to B33, the local bingo hall on Refugee Road, that the Siskos took 

Messenger photo by Sarah Slayman 

Steve and Christine Sisko in their 2,800 square foot building that houses 

their charitable contributions for the local community. 

over in 2018 to help sustain 

their non-profit. A 

large portion of the 

earnings go towards 

maintaining Sisko Kidz. 

Christine has since 

ended her 16-year 

career at Nationwide to 

give herself to the foundation 

full time. 

Since 2015, Sisko 

Kidz has helped more 

than 500 families and 

donated more than 

$70,000 of resources. 

They’ve gifted items 

such as washers, dryers, 

sectional couches, and 

even cars. 

With the surplus of 

connections and willing 

hands, Christine said, 

“We’re getting donations 

now from just 

about any angle you can 

think of.” 

They’ve additionally provided a child with a service dog, donated 

150 full backpacks to students, paid off students’ lunch debt, fed 

several families during the pandemic, and enrolled kids in sports 

to keep them connected and busy. 

The most rewarding story for Steve was providing a customized 

tricycle for a little girl with Down Syndrome who had always 

wanted to join her parents as they rode their bikes. Considering 

the price of the specialized tricycles, her parents could not provide 

her with a means to join them. Just in time for her birthday, the 

Siskos gift arrived and she received it with much joy. 

The Siskos also cared for a single father of three who recently 

moved into his first home by providing the family with beds, lights, 

an oven, a fridge, a couch, and first batch of groceries through 

their organization. Sisko Kidz will be gifting him a car, turning an 

hour long bus ride for his disabled daughter’s appointments into a 

15 minute car ride. The family gets excited to see Steve’s truck pull 

up and the father remarked, “It’s been Christmas ever since we 

met you.” Remembering this impact helps the Siskos to continue. 

“It’s rewarding,” said Steve. 

Generosity often reproduces itself. Many families helped by 

Sisko Kidz return to offer their own help through volunteer work 

or donations. There are many volunteers who make Sisko Kidz 

happen, but the organization could always use another hand. 

For information on Sisko Kidz, email 

siskokidzfoundation@gmail.com.

Celebrating a veteran of WWII 

World War II veteran Eddie Liebbrand was recently celebrated on his 99th birthday. He 

and his fellow troops departed for Europe in August 1944. During the war he bravely 

fought in 1944’s Battle of the Bulge and later became a prisoner of war under Nazi 

Germany rule by December of that year. He and hundreds of other men were held for 

nearly four months in a camp where they were denied basic needs and suffered watching 

many of their fellow soldiers die of malnutrition, extreme temperatures, or violence 

by their captors. He lost 62 pounds and was on the brink of death himself at the prisoners’ 

liberation on April 2, 1945. He returned home to Columbus and was honorably 

discharged and began building a life as a husband, father, and machinist. In his later 

years he volunteered at Groveport’s Motts Military Museum where he shared his experiences. 

“It changes a lot for young people to know about what happened then,” said 

Liebbrand. He views his service as something that needed to be done and is proud to 

have served his country. PFC Edwin T. Leibbrand served in the 110th Reg., 28th 

Infantry Div., U.S. Army, Battle of the Bulge POW Nazi Stalag 9B.


Governor announces 

DriveOhio funding 

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. 

Governor Jon Husted announced that $100 

million is now available to support the 

implementation of electric vehicle (EV) 

charging infrastructure throughout the 

state over the next five years. 

DriveOhio, which is a division of the 

Ohio Department of Transportation 

(ODOT), began accepting proposals from 

companies to install and operate EV charging 

stations in Ohio. 

“Having the capability to support more 

electric vehicle charging stations is something 

we’ve been working on for years,” 

said DeWine. “The development of a 

statewide network of charging infrastructure 

will enable EV travel across the state, 

support private sector investment, and 

spur even more economic development 

across the state.” 

Funding proposals must align with 

Ohio’s EV infrastructure deployment plan, 

which requires that charging stations support 

at least four direct current fast chargers 

with at least 150 kilowatts per port. 

Currently, Ohio has 13 charging stations 

that meet these requirements and plans to 

add 30 more locations by 2025. 

“This investment gives Ohio another 

opportunity to compete for the future of the 

auto industry,” said Husted. “Leading in 

the automotive sector has been a priority 

for Ohio for quite some time, and as part of 

that goal, we’ll continue to work towards 

building up the EV workforce, so that businesses 

have access to talent, and Ohioans 

can secure a career in a new, innovative 

industry right here in our state.” 

Ohio’s EV infrastructure deployment 

will focus on interstate corridors before 

moving on to U.S. and state routes. Once 

charging stations on federally-required corridors 

are complete, the remaining funds 

will be used for charging along additional 

corridors, at state tourist attractions, and 

freight corridors. 

“This network will go a long way toward 

improving the quality of life for Ohio drivers, 

giving them initial confidence and flexibility 

when driving Ohio’s roads for personal, 

professional, or recreational purposes, 

regardless of distance traveled or location,” 

said ODOT Director Jack 

Marchbanks. 

“Ohio continues to lead in electric mobility, 

giving us an edge in the procurement 

process. With states across the country 

vying for the same equipment, our plan is 

deliberately crafted to attract the right 

companies to meet the growing demand for 

reliable charging across the state,” said 

DriveOhio Executive Director Preeti 

Choudhary. 

Ohio’s EV infrastructure deployment 

plan was approved by the Federal Highway 

Administration last month, making the 

$100 million in federal funding available 

for EV charging infrastructure over the 

next five years. 

Proposal information and full guidelines 

can be found at drive.ohio.gov/nevi. 

Furniture Bank 

The Furniture Bank of Central Ohio 

(FBCO), is looking to the community to 

help meet the current demand for furniture 

and household goods. 

Due to a recent natural disaster, FBCO 

is assisting displaced Columbus residents, 

who lost all their belongings, filling their 

new homes with furniture and basic household 

goods. However, donations of gently 

used furniture and home goods are needed 

from the community to meet the increased 

demand. 

“We are grateful to be able to help our 

neighbors during this crisis but we cannot 

do it alone,” said FCBO President and 

CEO, Phil Washburn. “We are relying on 

our community to help us restore hope for 

these affected families by donating their 

gently used furniture and housewares.” 

The items of greatest need are full and 

queen mattresses, dressers, sofas, and 

kitchen dining sets. 

Donations can be dropped off at 

Furniture With A Heart at 2165 Morse 

Road in Columbus, Monday through 

Sunday, or at FBCO at 118 South Yale 

Ave., Monday through Friday, from 8:30 

a.m.to 3:30 p.m. Donations of the items listed 

can also be picked up by calling 614-545- 

3838. All donations are tax-deductible. 

Community members that do not have 

furniture or home goods to donate can purchase 

items from FBCO’s Amazon Wishlist 

that will be given directly to families in 

need. The wish list can be found at furniturebankcoh.org/amazonwishlist. 

For more information on donating furniture 

and other home goods, visit furniturebankcoh.org/donate-furniture. 

The mission of the Furniture Bank of 

Central Ohio is to reduce the impact of 

poverty by providing furniture to central 

Ohio families and individuals struggling 

with severe life challenges. Since 1998, the 

organization has distributed nearly one 

million furniture pieces and home goods to 

over 75,000 central Ohio families by collaborating 

with approximately 7,000 furniture 

donors, 1,000 financial donors, 2,000 volunteers, 

75 social service agencies and faithbased 

organizations and many corporate 

partners every year. Families visit the 

Furniture Bank showroom to personally 

select 5-20 pieces of furniture, including 

beds, dressers, tables, chairs, and other 

household items that are then delivered 

the same day. 

For more information, visit www.furniturebankcoh.org.
