During the May 22 Obetz City Council 

meeting, City Administrator Rod Davisson 

told council about a bill winding its way 

through the Ohio House of Representatives 

that, if passed, could mean major changes 

in the way the city would approach eminent 

domain cases. 

“The legislature is working to pass 

House Bill 64, which makes some significant 

changes to the eminent domain law, 

not in our favor or in the favor of any city 

or village,” said Davisson. “They want to 

eliminate our ability to enact eminent 

domain for recreation trails.” 

Davisson said he helped draft some 

opponent testimony for the Ohio Municipal 

League, which is an association of more 

than 730 cities and villages in Ohio. 

“House Bill 64 aims to curtail the application 

of eminent domain for recreation 

trails,” according to Davisson and the Ohio 

Municipal League. “However, it is important 

to understand that recreation trails 

are not mere luxuries, they are vital community 

assets. They promote health and 

wellness, connect neighborhoods, provide 

safe routes for non-motorized transportation, 

and enhance the livability of our 

municipalities.” 

HAPPY 

Graduation! 

Wishing you nothing but reasons 

to smile as you celebrate this 

milestone achievement! 

Congratulations and Best of Luck! 

See Pages 9 - 12 

“The proposed restrictions on the use of 

eminent domain for recreation trails reflect 

a narrow interpretation of the concept of 

‘public use’ as found in our constitutions,” 

according to Davisson and the Ohio 

Municipal League. “The notion of public 

use is not confined to being adjacent to 

public roads and within the municipality’s 

right-of-way. In fact, the broad interpretation 

of ‘public use’ has been upheld by the 

U.S. Supreme Court in cases like Kelo v. 

City of New London, demonstrating that 

public use encompasses not just traditional 

uses like roads and public buildings, but 

also broader community development projects.” 

In addition, according to Davisson. the 

legislature wants to change some of the 

ways that municipalities have to negotiate 

eminent domain. 

“All of those changes make it harder for 

municipalities to accomplish that,” said 

Davisson. “Eminent domain is a last resort. 

It’s of course constitutionally protected and 

advised in both the Ohio and the United 

States constitutions and case law is supported, 

and what the legislature is trying to 

do I think really goes overboard on that and 

puts municipalities in a weaker position 

when they do have to take land.”

ROOT EXPOSURE SENSITIVITY 

CW@AltercareOnline.net 

AltercareOnline.com 

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.

Township could add SRO 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

A second Madison Township police officer could join 

the school resource officer staff in the Groveport 

Madison School District for the next school term, 

bringing the total number of officers to three. 

A three-year memorandum of understanding with 

the district was authorized by the Madison Township 

trustees during their May 23 meeting. Groveport 

Madison already contracts for one Madison Township 

officer and one city of Groveport officer. 

“I think, at the end of the day, we see the benefit of 

SROs,” said Madison Township Police Chief Gary 

York. 

If the Groveport Madison Board of Education 

agrees with the memorandum, the school district will 

cover 70 percent of salary and benefit costs, along with 

other costs such as training, equipment and uniforms. 

The memorandum covers the 2023 through 2026 

school years. A similar agreement was approved for a 

single school resource officer with Canal Winchester 

Local Schools. 

“We need officers in the schools. It’s just a fact,” said 

Trustee Chairman John Pritchard. “We wouldn’t be 

asked back if we didn’t do a good job.” 

As for moving from a one year to a multi-year contract 

and from one officer to two, York said his department 

wanted a commitment from the school district for 

a longer term because he needs to hire another officer 

to replace the second SRO position. 

Once the school board approves their end of the 

memorandum, York said he will post the positions, 

which are bid upon by officers. The salary/benefit 

Continued from page 1 

Davisson said he cannot remember the last time the 

city of Obetz has had an eminent domain case. 

“In an ideal situation, you always just pay for the 

land,” said Davisson. “And we’ve always done that. So 

you say, ‘Well, why are we complaining about it?’ 

Because we might have to do one tomorrow. And you 

don’t want those powers to be so weak that you can’t do 

it, and then you become ineffectual for the people that 

you represent.” 

Davisson is concerned the law is unfair to municipalities 

that are trying to do good things for its residents. 

“Remember, eminent domain is for all of us, all of 

the residents to be able to have some amenity, whatever 

that thing could be,” said Davisson. “Sometimes it’s 

parks, sometimes it’s recreation trails, sometimes it’s 

roads. And occasionally you can’t come to an agreement 

with a landowner and you have to go through 

eminent domain. And when you do, you end up in a 

process where there’s a neutral third party, a judge 

who makes a decision on what the value of that land 

is.” 

One of the things the legislature wants to change in 

the bill is, that once an offer is made, it can’t be 

reduced. Davisson gave an example of a situation 

where a city has offered $100,000 for a property and 

then, after going through due diligence, finds out that 

it is polluted or that it has old gas tanks on it. 

“This law would not allow you to say, ‘We don’t want 

to pay a $100,000 for it,’: said Davisson. “We pay something 

less now that we found out all this stuff’s wrong 

with it. That just doesn’t make any sense what they’re 

trying to accomplish, so it’s certainly not helpful to us. 

We will oppose it through the Ohio Municipal League. 

So we'll see how it goes.” 

range for resource officers are dependent upon their 

current department salary. 

The township will continue to cover the remaining 

30 percent of the officer’s salary, etc. since they return 

to active department duty when the school district is 

on hiatus. 

According to the 2022-23 memorandum, the township’s 

resource officer splits their time between the 

high school, middle schools, and elementary schools. 

Under the new agreement, one Madison Township 

officer will spend their day at the high school in and 

the township second officer will rotate between the 

other buildings, unless needed at the high school. 

“We’re excited about this opportunity,” said York. 

“We have a really great partnership with the school.” 

Other Madison Township news 

•The trustees approved a Clinical Affiliation agreement 

with Columbus State Community for student 

ride-alongs in township medics. 

“We’re excited to be a part of that again,” said 

Madison Township Assistant Fire Chief Chas Adams. 

The affiliation agreement provides a clinical learning 

experience for students with the fire department 

and defines the roles and responsibility of Columbus 

State and Madison Township. 

•Jets will crisscross the skies above Rickenbacker 

Airport during a June 16-18 Columbus Air Show, but 

Madison Township Administrator Susan Brobst is concerned 

about what happens on the ground when sightseers 

outside the airport grounds look for a viewing 

site.“We strongly discourage people from parking on 

the roads and warehouse parking areas,” said Brobst. 

“There’s going to be a lot of traffic in the area. Either 

stay away or have a lot of patience.” 

The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, Ohio Dairy 

Producers Association, and Ohio Council of Retail 

Merchants are proponents of the bill. 

The Ohio Municipal League, Ohio Chamber of 

Commerce, Ohio Business Roundtable, Ohio Trails 

Partnership/Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, American 

Electric Power, American Petroleum Institute-Ohio, 

Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, Central 

Ohio Transit Authority, and many cities and villages 

oppose the bill. 

Other Obetz news 

•Obetz Mayor Angela Kirk and city officials are 

working on a couple of vehicle ordinances. 

“We’re seeing a lot of semi truck parking in the 

neighborhoods,” said Kirk. “It’s not just a random 

truck here and there, but lots of those parking next to 

the houses.” 

Kirk said they are also discussing one for recreational 

vehicles. 

“We discussed a couple of years ago allowing recreational 

vehicles for an extended period of time during 

the season,” said Kirk. “We want to try some type of 

resolution where owner can keep their recreational 

vehicle for a certain period of time while they’re either 

working on it, unloading it, or loading it to take it back 

into storage.” 

•Obetz Police Chief Mike Confer said in the past 

two weeks, his department has taken 1,271 calls for 

service; patrolled 5,693 miles; issued 38 moving violations, 

five of those were for speeding; made five misdemeanor 

arrests; one felony arrest, generated 12 offense 

reports; handled five crashes; and one domestic violence 

incident.

Air Show set to soar and roar

Columbus Air Show. (Photo courtesy of the Columbus Air Show.) 

By Rick Palsgrove 

Managing Editor 

A variety of planes will soar and roar 

through the sky at the upcoming Columbus 

Air Show. 

The Columbus Air Show Presented by 

Scotts will be held at Rickenbacker 

International Airport, 2241 John Circle 

Drive, Columbus, on June 16-18 from 9 

a.m. to 5 p.m. It is the first air show in 

Columbus in about 20 years. 

Attractions 

Performers and attractions at the air 

show include: the United States Navy Blue 

Angels; the United States Air Force F-22 

Raptor; Ohio Air National Guard; the 

United States Marine Corps C-130 “Fat 

Albert”; the B-17 “Yankee Lady from the 

Yankee Air Museum; an F-5 Tiger; the C- 

47 “Hairless Joe from the Yankee Air 

Museum; the B-25 “Rosie’s Reply” from the 

Yankee Air Museum; the P-51 Mustang 

“Old Crow” based in Central Ohio; and 

more. 

There will also be ground displays, air 

racing, exhibits, civilian superstars, vintage 

aircraft, and other experiences. 

According to the Columbus Air Show 

website: There will be some flying in the 

morning. The heaviest concentration of 

flying will be scheduled to occur between 

noon and 4 p.m. The show will not publicly 

release specific times for each performer 

and the schedule can change without 

notice. Aircraft and performers are anticipated 

to be the same for each day. The Blue 

Angels will be scheduled to do a rehearsal 

demo on June 16. There could also be some 

practice flights on June 15. 

All tickets and parking passes for the 

air show are available online at 

www.ColumbusAirShow.com. Visit 

www.ColumbusAirShow.com for other 

information and follow the show on 

Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 

Traffic 

The volume of visitors to the air show 

and accompanying traffic on the area roads 

in and around Groveport are a concern for 

Groveport Police Chief Casey Adams. 

Adams said the Groveport Police are 

planning to increase traffic patrol during 

the days of the air show. 

“This extra patrol will be responsible for 

keeping traffic flowing as normal as possible 

along State Route 317, Groveport Road, 

and the roads that lead in and out of the 

warehouses surrounding the airport,” said 

Adams. “The extra patrol will also handle 

calls for service at the warehouses, handle 

traffic complaints, and any auto accidents 

that may affect traffic flow during the air 

show times.” 

Adams said air show officials told him 

that about 15,000 spectators are expected 

to come to the air show daily. He expects 

the heaviest surge of traffic outbound from 

the airport to be from 3:45-6 p.m. 

According to the air show website, the 

Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has developed 

traffic plans and will have several 

officers helping direct traffic at intersections 

along Alum Creek Drive and 

Rickenbacker Parkway and other key 

intersections. 

According to Adams, air show officials 

indicated that half of the visitors to the 

show leaving each day will be directed 

south on Rickenbacker Parkway into 

Pickaway County to State Route 762

House of 

Representatives 

Approves Eleven 

Measures 

This past week the Ohio House of Representatives 

completed a busy itinerary, passing ten bills and 

one resolution on to the State Senate for its approval. 

Every measure garnered true bipartisan 

support, winning at least 80 votes from the 99- 

member body. I’ve summarized several of these 

measures below. 

House Bill (HB 27) requires our state public universities 

to provide financial cost, aid, and average 

salary data in an easy-to-understand one-page format. 

In this manner, students and parents will understand 

better the cost of a college education and 

the dollars typical new graduates earn in the field 

to which the student has gained admission. I was a 

co-sponsor of this piece of legislation. 

HB 57 calls for indexing to inflation the value of a 

property that is not subject to a portion of property 

tax because it qualifies for the homestead exemption. 

This measure particularly will help senior citizens 

and military veterans maintain financial 

stability and stay in their homes. 

HB 105 reduces the penalty for an individual filing 

a late municipal income tax return from $25 per 

month to a one-time-only $25 fine. It does not 

erase any of the actual tax obligation an individual 

may have accrued. This measure will help protect 

students who may have worked in one municipality 

for a summer job and had income tax withheld but 

failed to file an actual return at the end of the year. 

HB 50 is a criminal justice measure designed to help 

reduce recidivism among formerly incarcerated individuals. 

It allows them to petition the court for a 

certificate of qualification for housing (CQH), which 

could be granted for individuals designated as rehabilitated. 

If granted, the CQH will help make it 

easier for the individual to gain access to housing 

and by providing provide some legal protection for 

the landlord. 

Additional measures: HB 28 designates March as 

Triple Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

This type of breast cancer occurs more frequently in 

younger and African American women. HB 61 designates 

November 19th as “James A. Garfield Day” 

in Ohio. Garfield, from Ohio, was our twentieth 

president and no special state designation had 

been in place for his birthday. The final measure 

was a resolution to support the Ohio Commission 

for the United States Semiquincentennial, America’s 

250th birthday celebration that will take place in 

three years. It affirms the legislature’s full and enthusiastic 

support for the activities leading up to 

and culminating on July 4, 2026. 

(Dave Dobos represents the 10th District in the Ohio 

House of Representatives, which consists of parts of 

West, Southwest, and South Columbus, Grove City, Urbancrest, 

and most of Franklin Township. He reports 

regularly on his activities in this position and his campaign 

has paid for this communication with you.)

New life ahead for the former Hoover Y Park

101 W. MAIN ST. 

BALTIMORE, OH 43105 

After a pandemic delay, Columbus and 

Franklin County Metro Parks is moving off 

the drafting board and onto the grounds of 

the former Hoover Y Park in turning the 

site at 1570 Rohr Road into public park 

land. 

A $1.5 million agreement for the park, 

located in southeastern Franklin County, 

was approved by the Board of Park 

Commissioners of Columbus and Franklin 

County in May 2020. 

Steve Studenmund, planning & design 

manager for Metro Parks, said the planning 

and design phase was expected to 

start in 2021, but was delayed due to 

COVID. Work has since resumed. 

“We are looking into acquiring the adjacent 

quarry to the west,” said Studenmund. 

“These two parcels combined create a lot of 

opportunities such as water access, river 

access, nature trails, multi-use trails, passive 

recreation and programmed spaces 

with the existing structures. We are currently 

constructing additional parking lots 

and access drives. We are also in the 

process of improving the Optimist Lodge 

and Ingram building.” 

Studenmund said it will take most of 

2023 to upgrade facilities, utilities, parking, 

trails, and play areas. The park system 

is tentatively looking at a late 2023 opening, 

depending on several construction 

activities. 

A giant slide was removed years ago by 

the YMCA as a safety hazard and a caretaker’s 

house was demolished this year. 

However, several buildings and structures 

still remain, as well as multiple electric 

plug-in units used by campers during a 

music jamboree. 

“We are evaluating the usefulness and 

function of all structures to see if they fit 

into the parks operational plans and to see 

if they meet current building codes,” said 

Studenmund, who said there is also a possibility 

the electrical connections could be 

used in a similar manner for events. 

The park system has yet to pick a name 

for the former YMCA park and quarry. As 

for connectivity to other Metro Parks, 

Studenmund said, given the location, connecting 

the site by a trail to other Metro 

Park's will be very challenging. 

“We are excited for the opportunities 

these sites present to park visitors,” said 

Studenmund. 

The site is bordered by Rohr Road to the 

south, farmland on the north, Bixby Road 

to the east and homes and the quarry to the 

west. 

Many people remember the infamous 

Granddaddy Slide, which started at the top 

of a rise in the park and took riders on a 

wild and bumpy ride to the bottom of the

hill. A large red barn once owned by a local 

farmer, known as the Optimist Lodge, 

served as a rustic event center for the 

YMCA, which owned the park for 77 years. 

The park was also a frequent site for 

outdoor weddings, reunions, meetings, 

summer camps, and a yearly haunted hike 

through the woods and paths surrounding 

the area. Musicians Against Childhood 

Cancer held annual concerts at the park for 

many years, attracting musicians and 

campers from across the nation. 

The YMCA originally purchased the 60- 

acre property on Nov. 17, 1947.

HTHS students participate 

in leadership collaborative 

On May 16, students from Hamilton 

Township High School presented research 

and data from a year of learning and growing 

together in the Ohio State Student 

Leadership Research Collaborative. 

The students who presented at the 

event included Alexandria Williams, Olivia 

Taylor, Penelope Taylor, Jeremiah Hicks, 

and RJ Santmire. 

“Theses students were chosen for this 

group because they demonstrate great 

leadership skills within other groups that 

they are involved in,” said group advisor 

Byron Allgood. “The students did such a 

good job during this collaborative, they 

were chosen to attend the National 

Student Leadership Summit this summer.” 

The group of students had to identify a 

problem within the school community and 

collect data about that problem. They then 

needed to come up with possible solutions 

to that problem. Students chose to 

research the problem of “Lack of Clear 

Communication to the Student Body.” The 

group recommended a few ideas to increase 

communication among their peers such as 

a bulletin board in the cafeteria, and planning 

an information fair for the students.

CW Labor Day Parade 

celebrates educators 

The Canal Winchester community 

announced it will celebrate teachers as the 

grand marshal of this year’s Canal 

Winchester Labor Day Parade. 

The parade theme recognizes Canal 

Winchester Schools teachers by celebrating 

the work these “everyday superheroes” 

do for the children of the community. 

This year’s Labor Day Parade will take 

place on Sept. 4 at 1 p.m. 

Other school groups will also participate 

with floats and marchers in the parade. 

“Labor Day is all about celebrating the 

American worker, and we couldn’t think of 

a more honorable grand marshal than the 

Canal Winchester Local School District 

educators,” said Marie Gibbons, Parade 

Chair for the Labor Day Festival. 

The Labor Day committee selected the 

“Superheroes” theme and invited the CW 

Schools staff to be part of the celebration. 

“We are so thankful to the parade committee 

for recognizing the labor of the 

teachers who are here to make a difference 

in the lives of Canal Winchester students,” 

said Canal Winchester Schools 

Superintendent Kiya Hunt. “When 

prospective employees ask us about the 

district, we always tell them how lucky we 

are to have an incredible and supportive 

community. This is yet another example of 

the strength of our community when we all 

come together to make Canal Winchester a 

great place to live, learn, and work.”

I was talking with a friend when the conversation 

meandered over to the book, “Don 

Quixote,” by Miguel Cervantes. 

Editor’s Notebook 

AEP rate increase, 

stay in the know 

Last month, I launched a new podcast 

called D3 Live to share resources I 

learned about that impact District 3 residents. 

My guest this month was Angie 

Rybalt, AEP’s Director of Customer Experience. 

In this episode, we addressed frequently 

asked questions about AEP’s 

rate changes, how to read your bill, and 

what you need to know about the impending 

changes. 

In case you missed it, effective June 

2023, AEP plans to implement a rate increase 

averaging approximately 28% for 

its customers in Columbus, Ohio. According 

to the AEP website, global demand, 

global supply chain issues, 

economic uncertainty, and the continued 

war in Ukraine have impacted electricity 

production costs. These expenses 

have necessitated the rate adjustment 

to ensure continued reliability and sustainability 

of the electric grid. 

While the specific impact will depend 

on individual usage patterns, the average 

household can expect to see an increase 

of up to $40 per month. Small 

businesses and commercial establishments 

may face higher costs, potentially 

impacting their bottom line and overall 

competitiveness. 

To mitigate the rate increase's impact, 

Columbus consumers can explore various 

strategies. These include adopting 

energy-efficient practices, such as using 

LED bulbs, optimizing heating and cooling 

systems, and minimizing energy 

consumption during peak hours. Additionally, 

shopping around for alternative 

energy providers or considering solar 

panel installations could offer long-term 

cost-saving benefits. 

Results Matter, so act now to get prepared.

“That book drives 

me crazy,” she said. 

“That’s the point,” I 

replied. “It’s supposed 

to drive you crazy.” 

She paused, then slowly smiled. 

Books are great when they give one a revelation. 

Same with art and music. Life can 

condense in a moment, and it’s all about the 

moment. 

Along that vein, I recently received a nice 

card and personal note from an old friend. 

The card was imprinted with the word 

“Komorebi,” which in Japanese can be translated 

to English to mean, “Sunlight that filters 

through the leaves of trees.” 

After reading her card I went outside to 

the dogwood tree in my back yard. The tree 

was bursting with beautiful white spring 

blooms. I sat under the tree and watched the 

sunlight filter through the blooms and 

emerging leaves as they fluttered in the 

breeze. The sunlight illuminated the blooms 

and dappled the ground beneath tree. The 

tree was a universe of its own with each 

bloom a star in the canopy. 

Because of this experience, I plan to enjoy 

the view from beneath this tree as the seasons 

progress so I can absorb how the sunlight 

changes over time as it filters through 

the leaves as they, too, change. 

Come winter it will be a whole new experience 

as the tree’s bare branches will be silhouetted 

by the low angle from the sun’s 

rays 

Her card and note gave me a special gift 

of a timeless moment, and future moments, 

beneath the tree. 

Thoughts of sunlight bring me to another 

tale of one’s experience with moment and 

light. 

A long time friend of mine called to tell 

me that he takes note of a particular day 

each May when the angle of the sunlight 

noticeably changes from the doldrums of 

winter and fickle spring and heralds the 

coming of summer. 

“It’s a brighter light,” he told me. 

It brings back memories for him as a boy 

in elementary school of when he was itching 

to get out of his Catholic school formal student 

attire and light out for the territories of 

summer. 

It was a conflicted feeling for him, too, 

because his thoughts of happy freedom from 

the structure of school were simultaneously 

coupled with wary thoughts of the open time 

of perceived endless summer. 

“Well, now what am I going to do?” he 

thought back then. 

Enjoy the time, because moments are 

what we have.

No pay raise for CW Council 


Staff Writer 

A 4-2 majority of Canal Winchester Council members 

voted down a salary increase for themselves providing 

a 3 percent capped increase in 2024 and another 

3 percent jump in 2025. 

According to Council President Chuck Milliken, 

council has not had a raise since at least 2013. 

Had the resolution passed, council salaries would 

have been $6,790 in 2024 and $6,994 in 2025. The 

council president’s salary in 2024 would have been 

$7,469 and then $7,693 in 2025. The vice president’s 

salary would have been set at $7,129 in 2024 and 

$7,343 the following year. 

Council members Patrick Shea, Mike Walker, Bob 

Clark and Milliken voted against the resolution during 

the June 5 meeting. Laurie Amick and Steve Buskirk 

voted for the increase. Jill Amos was absent and 

excused from the meeting. 

With no action being taken, Law Director Thaddeus 

Boggs said the current salary scale will prevail from 

2024 through 2025.

CW celebrates 101 years 

of Labor Day festivities 

The 101st annual Canal Winchester Labor Day 

Festival, presented by Diley Ridge Medical Center, 

will fill the streets of historic downtown Canal 

Winchester over Labor Day weekend. 

Opening ceremonies will take place on the festival 

main stage on Sept. 2 at noon. The fun continues Sept. 

2 until 11 p.m., Sept. 3 from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., and 

Sept. 4 from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

“The Canal Winchester Labor Day Festival is celebrating 

over a century of family-friendly activities in 

our downtown during the Labor Day weekend,” said 

Carolyn Ebert, Labor Day Festival Board President. 

“With so many food vendors, arts and crafts vendors, 

rides, games, free entertainment, a car show, and our 

renowned parade, there is something sure to please 

everyone in the family.” 

Although the full schedule is still being finalized, 

the Labor Day Festival Committee promises to deliver 

the fun, family-friendly festival that the community 

has grown to love. Midway rides and games return to 

the historic downtown all weekend long, and kids will 

ride for free from noon to 4 p.m. as part of Free Ride 

Saturday, courtesy of Wright-Patt Credit Union, Inc. 

Free festival entertainment will fill the streets with 

sounds all weekend long. American country singersongwriter 

and Ohio native Rayne Johnson will headline 

the main stage Sept. 2 at 9 p.m. Silver Springs, 

the Sept. 3 night headliner, will have guests doing double-takes 

as the band covers over four decades of the 

best Fleetwood Mac songs. 

For those over 21, the Ugly Mug Beer Pavilion will 

be located near Stradley Park. This is the first year 

that the Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area 

(DORA) will be in place, so visitors may sip, stroll, 

shop, and explore the festival grounds from noon to 

close as well. 

The Labor Day Festival will again become a showplace 

for some of the finest hot-rods and classic cars in 

central Ohio on Sept. 3. In past years, over 200 

antique, muscle, and classic cars have been on display. 

one evening. 

According to Peoples, when Hartung got back to the 

plant, he heard someone yelling for help. Hartung 

went across the street and an elderly neighbor was laying 

on her porch and could not get up. 

“He called 911 and stayed with her until help 

arrived,” said Peoples. “Obviously, they (family members) 

were very appreciative. The grandson came over 

and gave him a nice box of chocolates. That’s the type 

of employees we have working here. He (Hartung) didn’t 

think it was that big of a deal and said anyone 

would have done that.” 

New CW library 

The Columbus Metropolitan Library system is in 

the planning stages for a new Canal Winchester 

library site, but wants to give council an idea of what 

could arise on their land bordering Groveport Road. 

Development Director Lucas Haire said CML is 

inviting council on a June 16 bus tour of the Gahanna 

library branch. 

“It is very similar to what they want to build here at 

the site they purchased,” said Haire. 

The new, two-story Gahanna branch opened in 

March. The 35,300 square-foot facility cost $21.8 million 

and features a drive-up window for patron reserve 

pick-ups and drop-offs. 

The cruise-in, hosted by C-Town Cruisers, will start at 

10 a.m. and will wrap up at 4 p.m. with trophy presentations. 

Registration is just $15 per car and begins 

downtown at 9 a.m. on West Waterloo Street. 

On Sept. 4, enjoy the festival’s annual Canal 

Winchester Labor Day Parade, presented by Kelly 

Abbott & the “A” Team, Howard Hanna Realtors. The 

parade steps off from Canal Winchester High School at 

1 p.m. and makes its way through the city’s historic 

downtown. 

Since 1920, the Canal Winchester Labor Day 

Festival has proudly partnered with the local government 

and nearby businesses to host the festival. Labor 

Day Festival organizers recognize all festival supporters,

Kids are savvy movie-goers 

The presence of children at a movie 

screening is not always an enjoyable experience 

for me — I find that they get up too 

often to use the bathroom, seem to like the 

noise the straw makes as it sucks up the 

liquid dregs of their big gulps, and prefer to 

use their outdoor voice to ask the random 

and related questions that pop into their 

minds — but I have to admit some of the 

observations they have can be spot-on. 

I went to see “The Little Mermaid” and 

“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” as a 

part of a summer blockbuster movie review 

mashup and came away impressed with 

the comments kids made about the aesthetics 

of the films and their complete 

befuddlement about plot threads, character 

development, and movie length. 

The consensus of the younger audience 

was that, while they liked both movies, 

they saw each film had strengths and 

weaknesses. I cannot disagree with their 

overall assessment and I extend my congratulations 

to the parents of these wickedly 

smart humans. 

In the case of “The Little Mermaid,” the 

primary complaint from the children was it 

was too dark to see some of the underwater 

scenes and the run time of two hours it was 

too long. I have to push back on the former 

because it could have been so much worse. 

When the trailers first came out for this 

film, the lighting made everything look 

dark, nothing like the original animated 

feature on which it is based. Thankfully, the 

lighting situation in the movie was better 

than advertised though it was devoid of 

vibrant flashes to make a lasting impression, 

at least visually. 

A problem with this film is an issue with 

almost all of the live-action adaptations 

Disney pulls from its classics vault: the 

unwillingness to deviate from the original 

material. Director Rob Marshall and writer 

David Magee made a shot-for-shot and 

word-for-word remake of the 1989 animated 

film and sprinkled in a few new above 

water scenes to add development to the 

human world that the title character so 

desperately yearns to be a part of. 

What saves this uninspired live-action 

film is the inclusion of most of the original 

music by Howard Ashman and Alan 

Menken and the casting of Halle Bailey, 

Jonah Hauer-King, and Melissa McCarthy, 

who play the little mermaid Ariel, her 

human love interest Prince Eric, and the 

chaos-loving sea witch Ursula, respectively. 

One of the best uses of the expanded run 

time is the focus on the growing connection 

between Ariel and Prince Eric so it starts 

to make a little more sense as to why she 

may be more willing to leave her family 

and fins behind to walk amongst the mere 

mortals in the human world. 

In the case of “Spider-Man: Across the 

Spider-Verse,” the complaint I heard from 

the kids was that there was too much going 

on — “It hurts my eyes,” said one - and that 

the ending left them feeling a bit angry. 

Some concerns I had for this sequel to 

the Academy Award winning, “Into the 

Spider-Verse” 

(2018) were 

whether it 

could top the 

greatness that was 

that movie. There is a 

lot of negativity about 

animated films and 

superhero movies, but 

The Reel Deal 

Dedra 

Cordle 

that film is regarded as one of the most 

influential films in the past decade as it 

opened up possibilities of the multiverse in 

theatrical comic book adaptations and 

sparked a new visual style. 

The plot within “Into the Spider-Verse” 

wasn’t that original — it’s another origin 

story of the famed webslinger but this time 

placing the ground-breaking Miles 

Morales, a half-Black, half-Latino teenager, 

into the mask and spandex - but it was 

the visualization of the story through the 

perspective of a comic book come to life 

that made a strong impact on the audience. 

(I get chills when I watch Miles take his 

“leap of faith” across Brooklyn set to the 

score by Daniel Pemberton overlaid with 

the song, “What’s Up Danger” by Black 

Caviar and Blackway.) 

Like all great sequels, “Across the 

Spider-Verse” builds on the tricks of its 

predecessor and continues with the multiperspective 

structure of “Into the Spider- 

Verse.” While Miles (voiced by Shameik 

Moore) is front and center as he tries to 

balance his life as a student with his life as 

a superhero, his story gives up some 

ground to Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), 

the Spider-Woman of a parallel Earth 

whom he met in the 2018 film. 

Their loneliness and their desperation to 

recapture the feeling of not being the only 

webslinger in their world leads them to the 

“Spider Society,” an interdimensional squad 

of Spider-Beings who are tasked with stopping 

anomalies from bleeding into other 

universes. It is led by the humorless Miguel 

O’Hara (Oscar Isaac) who considers Miles 

an anomaly since he should never have been 

“chosen” to be a Spider-Man. 

This push-and-pull between the two 

heroes is a primary plot point. The secondary 

one, which is to be expanded upon in the 

third installment next year, is the introduction 

of the villain Spot (Jason Schwartzman) 

who can access interdimensional portals 

through the markings on his body. 

“Across the Spider-Verse” is darker than 

its predecessor but it has a lot of the heart 

found within the first installment and the 

visual style continues to be unrivaled. The 

thousand-plus animators deserve all the 

credit in the world for their use of the color 

and design toward making each Spider- 

Being and their respective world unique. It 

is breathtaking to see on the big screen, 

but it sometimes makes for a “too much 

going on” feeling, therefore diminishing the 

congruent story that is taking place.
