Shadow of the past 

By Rick Palsgrove 

Managing Editor 

The remodeling of a building on South High Street 

in historic downtown Canal Winchester has revealed 

a bit of history. 

According to city of Canal Winchester Development 

Director Lucas Haire, the building, located at 20 S. 

High St. is currently being remodeled for a new location 

for Johnson’s Real Ice Cream. 

“They are hoping to be open by June,” said Haire. 

Haire said the building was built in 1950. It operated 

as a gas station until the early 1970s. It was 

remodeled to an office use in 1973 and operated as an 

optometrist office for 50 years. 

Recent remodeling efforts have revealed a shadowy 

outline of the lettering of the former gas station’s 

name, “Sunoco.” 

“The city of Canal Winchester bought the building 

with a goal of repositioning the building to a retail of 

restaurant use to enhance the Old Town area,” said 

Haire. “We have leased the space to the Canal 

Winchester Industry and Commerce Corporation, the 

city’s CIC to remodeled the exterior and find an appropriate 

tenant. They then subleased the space the 

Johnson’s.” 

A shadow of the sign lettering (above) of a former Sunoco gas 

station can faintly be seen on the front of this building at 20 S. 

High St. in Canal Winchester. The building is being renovated to 

become a Johnson’s Real Ice Cream shop. (Photo courtesy of

Obetz considers annexation 



Obetz City Council is considering legislation to 

accept the annexation of approximately 8.9 acres 

along Bixby Road. 

The annexation includes two parcels located at 

2695 Bixby Road and 2715 Bixby Road. 

“Both properties had small farms on them, but 

the main use was single family residential,” said 

Obetz Director of Community Services Stacey 

Boumis. “The parcels are not in Obetz yet, so Obetz 

zoning does not yet apply. Once annexed, the 

parcels will be zoned exceptional use.” 

According to Chapter 1163 of the city of Obetz’s 

Zoning Code, the exceptional use designation allows 

for the following uses: single family residential 

“A name you know, Experience you can trust” 

“Both properties had small farms on them, but 

the main use was single family residential.” 

- Stacey Boumis 

Obetz Director of Community Services 

dwellings; agricultural production; and recreation. 

The Zoning Code states that exceptional use is a 

“holding district for recently annexed land into the 

municipality until a development plan is submitted. 

Any change to the current use of the annexed property 

is required to go through the rezoning 

process...” 

“No development plan has been submitted,” said 

Boumis. “Any use of the property other than the 

current use will require a rezoning.”

Dental plaque is the primary 

cause of tooth decay and gum 

disease. A toothbrush can help 

remove plaque from visible 

surfaces but not from between 

the teeth and under the gumline. 

Unwaxed floss is needed for these 

hidden areas...Here's how: 

Cut off about 18 inches of floss 

and wrap the ends around your 

middle fingers, leaving about 2 

inches between your hands. 

Guide it with your thumbs for the 

upper teeth and index fingers for 

the lowers. Pass the floss gently 

between two teeth, sliding

until all teeth are flossed. 

A word of caution: Try never to 

snap the floss suddenly between 

two teeth as the gums may be 

sensitive. Use a gentle, sawing 

motion. If your gums bleed, you 

may be flossing too hard, or the 

gums may be in poor health. 

Don't be shy. Have your dentist or 

hygienist demonstrate the flossing 

method to you.

MORPC has some big plans 



Central Ohio’s population continues to grow and the 

Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission is making 

plans to deal with the accompanying future increase in 

traffic. 

MORPC’s 2024-2050 draft Master Transportation 

Plan forecasts how approximately $35 billion will be 

spent over the next 20 to 30 years to address transportation 

needs. 

MORPC Active Transportation and Safety Program 

Manager Lauren Cardoni said the Master 

Transportation Plan is updated every four years and 

submitted to the Ohio Department of Transportation 

and the United States Department of Transportation 

to evaluate transportation infrastructure to see where 

investment is needed. 

“It is a long range plan, but there are shorter time 

frames within it to meet more immediate needs,” said 

Cardoni. 

According to the plan, MORPC projects that the 

population in central Ohio’s 15 counties will increase 

from approximately 2.4 million people to 3.1 million by 

2050. Accompanying this would be a 29 percent 

increase in the number of households and a 28 percent 

increase in the labor force within the central Ohio 

area. This means more traffic and the need for the 

transportation infrastructure to accommodate it all. 

The following are some of the proposed projects to 

be tackled in the coming years within the Canal 

Winchester, Groveport, and Obetz areas: 

•Widening State Route 317 south of Groveport 

Hamilton Twp. tree work 

The Hamilton Township trustees awarded a contract to Able 

Tree for $3,000 to remove one tree and a stump at 5012 Astoria 

Avenue and two trees at 5076 Astoria Avenue in between curb and 

sidewalk. 

The contractor will remove and haul away three trees and four 

stumps. 

The township road department will do dirt work and grass 

seeding.

•Widening Groveport Road west of State Route 317. 

•Widening Alum Creek Drive from I-270 to State 

Route 317. 

•Widening Pontius Road south of Rohr Road. 

•Widening U.S. Route 33 from I-270 to Diley Road 

as well as constructing interchanges at Bixby Road 

and Pickerington Road. 

•Widening Winchester Pike. 

•Extending Richardson Road north to meet Ebright 

Road. 

•Building a new road to connect the U.S. 33/Bixby 

Road interchange with Ebright Road. 

•Constructing bike and pedestrian trails, particularly 

along greenway areas of local creeks, such as 

Walnut Creek and Big Walnut Creek. 

Cardoni said MORPC’s goals are to: create sustainable 

neighborhoods; attract economic opportunity; protect 

natural resources; increase regional collaboration; 

provide transportation options; and reduce per capita 

energy consumption. 

Public comments on the proposed projects must be 

submitted by 5 p.m. on March 29. A complete draft of 

the 2024-2050 MTP is available for review and comment 

at the MTP webpage at 

www.morpc.org/mtp2050. MORPC will host an open 

house regarding the plan at its office at 111 Liberty 

Street, Suite 100, Columbus, from 3:30-6:30 p.m. on 

March 19. A formal presentation to review the plan 

will take place at 5:30 p.m. The final plan is expected 

to be adopted in May 2024.

CW hears library appeals 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

It was a long night on Feb. 20 when 

Canal Winchester City Council spent more 

than five hours listening to testimony in a 

hearing on the fate of appeals for the proposed 

Columbus Metropolitan Library 

(CML) on Groveport Road. 

Neighboring property owner John Allen 

filed a trio of appeals on action taken by 

the planning and zoning commission in 

January recommending approval of a setback 

variance, conditional use permit, and 

site development plan. 

A change in conditional use would permit 

the construction of the library in a low 

density residential zone. 

The variance would reduce the west setback 

of the low density residential zoning 

library site from 150 feet to 73.3 feet and 

locate an ingress driveway and book dropoff 

closer to Allen’s home. 

“The question is, is the zoning requirement 

as applied to the property owner and 

property in question reasonable?” asked 

Allen’s attorney Bryan Hunt, “not should 

the zoning requirement be relaxed to allow 

a sought use. The variances are a substantial 

detriment to his property.” 

Hunt stated the public use zoning was 

incorrectly applied and that a library is 

specifically identified in another section of 

the city’s code under institutions. 

When asked which of the three appeals 

was most important to him, Allen said, 

“The variance is my primary focus…that 

distance be respected for the code that 

exists.” 

CML legal representative Aaron 

Underhill said that variances are in place 

for a reason, because one size does not fill 

all situations. 

“The design is extremely important to 

the library,” said Underhill. 

Architect Richard Ortmeyer–who 

started designing libraries in 1995, 

although this is his first project for CML– 

said the library system has planning principles 

and they tend to be most visible in a 

rectangular format. 

“The storm line is a barrier for moving 

the building back,” said Ortmeyer. “The 

priority in all Columbus Metropolitan 

Libraries is to present a broad a face to the 

general public to make the services as visible 

as possible.” 

Library Chief Financial Officer Lauren 

Hagan said CML’s new buildings follow 

this principle and that there is more community 

engagement with the long side of 

the building facing the street. 

Councilwoman Laurie Amick asked 

what would be sacrificed if the building 

size was reduced. 

The design as approved by planning and 

zoning is a 30,000 square foot structure 

featuring a modern architectural style 

showcasing clear glazing and metal panels 

across the façade. 

Ortmeyer said the first thing would be a 

reduction in the functionality of the staff 

area and patron book drop off. 

He said the change would result in an 

entirely different plan. 

Councilwoman Jill Amos asked Canal 

Winchester City Law Director Thaddeus 

Boggs why a special use request was made 

under the R-3 zoning when a library is 

clearly defined in another code section 

under “Institutions” 

Boggs said the first thing to be considered 

was the definition of public use. 

“A public use is defined very broadly as 

a public use open to the general public,” 

said Boggs. “A metro library constructed as 

a library is a land use open to the public. 

When you have ambiguity in a public code, 

that benefit of ambiguity goes to the property 

owner, and so considering that with 

the generality of public use, it was my 

opinion the library was not precluded from 

moving forward and applying to be a conditional 

use.” 

In looking at the criteria for conditional 

use, Hunt said the library is not a public 

use listed in the R-3 zoning district and the 

proposed use is not compatible with adjacent 

land use. 

Allen said, “I would say I’m impacted by 

traffic, but it’s hard to say because there 

was no traffic study. (There could be) hundreds 

of cars pulling in throughout the day 

as opposed to one or two.” 

Amos asked city Planning and Zoning 

Administrator Andrew Moore what accommodations 

the library made to anything 

the city requested. Moore replied it 

depended on who was being asked. 

“Because of what you’re describing, it 

doesn’t sound like much of anything,” said 

Amos. “It sounds like they don’t play in the 

sandbox well.” 

Underhill said there was an earnest 

effort on the library’s part to design something 

the community could be proud of and 

while some may disagree, it did fit their 

(CMLs) needs and design goals. 

“These issues are complicated,” said 

Underhill. 

Following an hour and a half deliberation 

behind closed doors, when it came 

time to take a preliminary vote on upholding 

the variance appeal, Amos and 

Councilman Patrick Shea voted in Allen’s 

favor. 

The remaining members voted down the 

appeal. 

Shea said his vote was on the basis of 

safety and Amos felt a lot of her safety 

questions went unanswered. 

She said the CML representatives “did 

not come to the table with a lot of factual 

information.” 

The vote followed the same pattern for 

the conditional use appeal and the site 

development appeal. 

Regarding the site development plan, 

Amos said additional conversations should 

have taken place before the Feb. 20 vote 

was taken. 

A final vote will take place at a later 

meeting after findings, facts, and conclusions 

of law are submitted.

The giant things are on the move 

Honoring Black History 

As we celebrate Black History Month, let us not only reflect 

on the past but also commit ourselves to building 

a brighter future. As your State Senator, I am honored 

to stand in solidarity with you during Black History 

Month, a time dedicated to commemorating the resilience, 

achievements, and cultural richness of the 

Black community. This month serves as a poignant reminder 

of the struggles and triumphs that have shaped 

our nation. From the courageous leaders of the Civil 

Rights Movement to the trailblazing innovators who 

have revolutionized every facet of society, Black Americans 

have left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. 

Their unwavering determination in the face 

of adversity and their relentless pursuit of justice continue 

to inspire us all. 

However, Black History Month is not merely a time for 

reflection; it is a call to action. At the community level, 

there are countless ways to honor Black History Month 

and contribute to its celebration. Here are a few suggestions: 

Support Black-Owned Businesses. 

Patronize Black-owned businesses in your community 

and amplify their voices through social media and 

word-of-mouth recommendations. By investing in the 

economic success of Black entrepreneurs, we can promote 

economic empowerment and foster a more equitable 

society. 

Attend public hearings and meetings where issues 

affecting black communities are discussed. 

These hearings provide an opportunity for community 

members to voice their concerns, share their experiences, 

and advocate for change directly to lawmakers 

and policymakers. By showing up and speaking out, 

you can ensure all voices and perspectives are heard 

and considered in the decision-making process. 

Engage directly with your elected officials. 

Writing letters, making phone calls, and scheduling 

meetings with local government officials and state legislators 

are all powerful tools for advocacy. Building relationships 

with your elected officials and holding us 

accountable can help drive positive change from the 

ground up. 

Get involved with local organizations and advocacy 

groups actively working to address issues facing 

black communities. 

These groups often have deep connections and relationships 

with state government officials and can provide 

valuable insights and support for your advocacy 

efforts. By collaborating with problem solvers who are 

dedicated to advancing black communities, you can 

amplify your impact and contribute to meaningful 

change in your community and beyond. 

Together, let us strive to create a society where every 

individual is valued, respected, and empowered to live 

up to their fullest God-given potential. By honoring the 

legacy of Black Americans, we can forge a more just and 

unified future for generations to come.

The Groveport Police are working to 

stay on top of a situation involving the 

movement of huge, heavy equipment along 

Groveport area roads headed for Licking 

County as part of the $20 billion Intel semiconductor 

chip factory project. 

According to the Ohio Department of 

Transportation (ODOT), the first of nearly 

two dozen extremely large truck loads, 

known as “super loads,” were expected to 

journey from Manchester along the Ohio 

River to Central Ohio as soon as March 6. 

Each load will be transported by semitruck 

via a predetermined route to destinations 

in either New Albany or Hebron. 

Most, but not all, of the loads are associated 

with the future Intel semiconductor 

facilities. The loads will not contain any 

hazardous material. 

ODOT officials said some of the loads will 

weigh 900,000 pounds, be 19 feet wide, 24 

feet high, and 270 feet long. Each oversized 

and overweight load will take approximately 

8-15 days to reach its destination. While 

no official closures or detours are planned, 

slow-rolling road blocks will be necessary 

during transit, and drivers should plan 

ahead for long delays along the route. 

Groveport Police Chief Casey Adams 

said representatives from the Columbus 

Police Department and ODOT provided 

him with the following information: 

•Over a period of months, there are 

approximately 40 oversized transports that 

will come through Groveport and Madison 

Township. 

•Four of the oversized transports will be 

the largest loads police have been anticipating 

coming through the community, and 

will most likely cause some traffic delays in 

Groveport (slower speeds and wider turns 

on the roadways). The loads will be approximately 

266 in length, over 20 feet in 

height, and over 500,000 pounds in weight 

•The other 36 oversized loads will vary 

in size (height, weights, and length). They 

Easter Egg hunt in CW 

Hop into Canal Winchester on March 23 

at 10 a.m. for the Canal Winchester 

Community Easter Egg Hunt at McGill 

Park, located at 6725 Lithopolis- 

Winchester Road. Visit with the Easter 

Bunny, have your face painted by one of 

the Miss Canal Winchester queens, enjoy 

the new playground, and join your friends 

for a fun egg hunt. 

Children up to age 10 are invited to participate. 

There will be nearly 15,000 colorful 

eggs, with special prize eggs in each age 

category. Age groups are as follows: under 

3 years, 4-6 years, 7-8 years, and 9-10 

years. Bring your own bag to collect 

eggs/candy. 

The hunt begins promptly at 10 a.m. so 

families are encouraged to arrive early. 

When the parking lot is full, the entrance 

will be closed to vehicular traffic. The park 

can also be accessed via foot or bike along 

Walnut Creek Trail. The event will occur 

will be smaller compared to the four largest 

transports, and some of these oversized 

loads can be transported on shorter time 

frame compared to the four largest transports, 

along with a different route - State 

Route 317 to U.S. 33 eastbound/ bypassing 

the Bixby Road route. 

•Weekend only transports through 

Franklin County. 

•Transports will take place during daylight 

hours only. 

•Utility companies will be staging 

ahead of the oversized transports to minimize 

traffic delays as the trucks move 

through the designated routes. 

Adams said the following Groveport 

area roads will be affected by these oversized 

transports: Alum Creek Drive (south 

of Rohr Road), Rohr Road, Opus Drive , 

Green Pointe Drive South, Saltzgaber 

Road, State Route 317 (South Hamilton 

Road), Old Hamilton Road, Bixby Road, 

Ebright Road, and U.S. 33 (heading east 

towards Gender Road in Canal 

Winchester). 

“When the city of Groveport and the 

Groveport Police Department are made 

aware of these transports through ODOT 

media releases, I will make sure to keep 

the community informed of this information 

in the coming months,” said Adams. 

Adams said the humongous equipment 

cannot be transported on Interstate freeways 

because it will not fit under overpasses, 

so local roads must be used. 

ODOT officials stated they analyzed 

and planned the route to make sure these 

super loads can be accommodated. Since 

each load will be escorted by several Ohio 

State Highway Patrol troopers, emergency 

traffic will get around the rolling road 

block with minimal delay. Working with 

partners like local governments and utility 

companies, obstructions along the route 

such as large overhead signs, traffic signals, 

and utility lines have been adjusted 

and moved. 

“For months, we have been working in 

rain or shine. 

Canal Winchester Human Services, in 

cooperation with the City of Canal 

Winchester, will host the free familyfriendly 

event. 

Wagnalls Scholarships 

There have been changes by The 

Wagnalls Memorial Foundation regarding 

its scholarships for graduating high school 

seniors. The scholarships are offered from 

the endowment left by Mabel Wagnalls 

Jones and the changes will increase the 

value of the scholarship awards. Students 

must be residents of Bloom Township. 

American Legion Post 677 in Lithopolis 

has also revised their agreement with The 

Wagnalls Foundation for administering 

scholarships. Starting this year, there will 

be three, $3,000 scholarships awarded, one 

for a Bloom-Carroll graduate, one for a 

Canal Winchester graduate, and one for 

graduate who has a relationship with a 

coordination with the Ohio State Highway 

Patrol and local stakeholders along the 

route to ensure each move goes as smoothly 

as possible with minimal impacts to those 

who live and work in the communities 

along the route,” said ODOT Director Jack 

Marchbanks. “We will work to provide as 

much notice as possible so that drivers can 

plan ahead and use alternate routes.” 

The schedule of each of these loads will 

be checked against local events, like festivals 

and fairs, to further minimize impacts. 

“Moving loads like these is not new for 

ODOT and our various partners. However, 

what makes this situation unique is the 

number of these types of loads arriving in 

short succession,” said Mike Moreland, 

administrator of ODOT’s Office of Special 

Hauling Permits. 

Notifications will be made in advance of 

each load leaving the dock on the Ohio 

River near Manchester. Updates will be 

provided as each load moves toward central 

Ohio. 

The route in central Ohio the loads will 

follow: north on Rickenbacker Parkway 

North to Alum Creek Drive; north on Alum 

Creek Drive to Rohr Road; east on Rohr 

Road to Commerce Center Drive; north on 

Commerce Center Drive to Green Pointe

call(614) 837-8400. 


Arthritis and exercise 

Exercise can be beneficial in the treatment 

of arthritis, say many doctors. 

Physical activity can reduce stiffness 

and increase muscle strength and flexibility. 

It also has overall health benefits, such 

as improving cardiac fitness and physical 

endurance. Three types of exercise are 

most appropriate for those who have 

arthritis: 

•Strength training: Strong muscles help 

support and protect joints affected by 

arthritis. Lifting weights can provide this. 

•Range of motion exercises: Dancing, 

tai chi, Pilates, swimming, and other activities 

that push the body to stretch and 

move help maintain normal joint motion 

and relieve stiffness. 

•Aerobic activities: Activities such as 

brisk walking, bicycle riding, skating and 

more are good for the heart. They also moderate 

weight, which in turn puts less strain 

on joints, particularly the knees. Some 

studies show that aerobic exercise can 

reduce inflammation in some joints. 

Before beginning an exercise program, 

discuss with your doctor what activities 

might be right for you. 

Benefits of growing older 

•Higher self-esteem: The insecurities of 

youth give way as one ages, and older people 

have less negativity and higher selfesteem. 

Qualities like self-control and 

altruism can contribute to happiness. 

•Financial perks: Seniors are entitled to 

discounts on meals, museum entry fees, 

movies, and other entertainment if they’re 

willing to disclose their ages. Discounts are 

available through an array of venues if one 

speaks up. Seniors also can enjoy travel 

perks, with slashed prices on resorts, plane 

tickets and more. 

•Reasoning and problem-solving skills: 

Brain scans reveal that older adults are 

more likely to use both hemispheres of 

their brans simultaneously something 


called bilateralization. This can sharpen 

reasoning skills. 

•Less stress: As people grow older, they 

are able to differentiate their needs from 

wants and focus on more important goals. 

This can alleviate worry over things that 

are beyond one’s control. Seniors may realize 

how little the opinions of others truly 

mean in the larger picture, thereby feeling 

less stress about what others think of 

them. 

Growing older may involve gray hair or 

wrinkling skin, but there are many positive 

things associated with aging. 

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. 

As individuals get older, they may not 

be able to participate in all of the activities 

they enjoyed as youths, but that doesn’t 

mean older adults must resign themselves 

to sedentary lifestyles. Explore these methods 

for staying active. 

Community senior center hikes, walking 

tours, dances, and other activities all 

serve as entertaining ways to get out and 

about while meeting some fitness goals. 

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. 

Find hobbies that incorporate physical 

activity. 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.

President Kevin L. Boyce • Commissioner John O’Grady, and Commissioner Erica C. Crawley 

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 Supports 

‘National Nutritional Month’ 

Through Support Services & Events 

March is National Nutritional Month, a month dedicated to teaching individuals 

how to make informed and healthy choices. This month-long campaign 

strives to start healthy habits and make nutritious choices that last 

all year long. 

While healthy habits are important for everyone, they’re especially 

important for seniors. Small actions in your everyday life can go a long 

way to support healthy aging, and can benefit your physical, emotional, 

and mental well-being. 

It’s never too late to adapt healthy habits into your lifestyle. For many 

older adults, good health ensures independence, security and productivity 

as they age. There are many risk factors that can come from an unhealthy 

lifestyle, including the increased risk of chronic conditions, fall risks and 

behavioral health issues. 

Some simple ways for seniors to live a healthy lifestyle include supporting 

their physical health by staying active, eating healthy and getting plenty of 

sleep. Taking care of your mental health is another important aspect in 

maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which can be done by interacting with 

friends and family, practicing gratitude and by participating in activities 

you enjoy. 

It’s important to remember that these habits should be incorporated all 

year round, not just during the month of March. The Franklin County 

Office on Aging (FCOA) offers numerous services and programs that 

promote and support healthy aging among its senior residents such as 

providing access to nutritious meals. FCOA offers free home-delivered 

meals to any Franklin County resident aged 60 and older. These meals not 

only help seniors maintain their independence but also support a healthy 

and nutritious lifestyle. Many risks associated with aging can be 

conquered through clean and healthy eating. 

FCOA also supports a healthy lifestyle among its older adults by encouraging 

them to participate in regular physical activity, which can help 

improve and maintain a senior’s fitness, strength and balance. FCOA 

hosts several physical fitness events throughout the year – providing 

seniors a chance to learn from local wellness experts on how to incorporate 

healthy fitness habits into their daily routine. One of FCOA’s 

fitness-inspired events, Spring Forward, is taking place on Thursday, May 

2 at the Whitehall Community Park YMCA from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This 

free event will offer various community resources, educational sessions, 

fitness activities and a produce giveaway for seniors in the Whitehall area. 

While National Nutritional Month serves as a reminder to cultivate 

healthy habits, the importance of sustaining healthy living goes far 

beyond the month of March. FCOA's commitment to supporting seniors 

underscores the value of prioritizing health and vitality in the aging community 

– creating a lasting impact on their overall quality of life.

available, call (614) 525-6200 or visit Officeonaging.org.


Highlighting 

Young 

Constituents’ 

Achievements 

One of the best benefits of my office is that I learn 

about the achievements of individuals who live 

or go to school in our district. I will highlight four 

students who have made noteworthy accomplishments 

during the last few months. 

Connor Chaffin, a junior at Grove City High 

School, has become the best high school bassoon 

player in Ohio. He has played in the Ohio 

Music Educators Association All-State Orchestra 

for three years and won concerto competitions 

held by the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, the 

Dayton Philharmonic, and the New Albany Symphony 

Orchestra. He also has been featured on 

the National Public Radio program “From the 

Top”. In addition, Connor is a straight-A student, 

is one of the field commanders for the awardwinning 

Grove City HS Marching Band, and has 

combined with his brother Camden to capture a 

Grove City team pickleball championship. He aspires 

to attend the Juilliard School of Music in 

New York City. 

Nate Palaia, a senior at Grove City High School, 

has been named one of Ohio’s five finalists for a 

career education Presidential Scholar designation. 

He also is a straight-A student and currently 

is enrolled in the engineering and robotics lab at 

the South-Western Career Academy, is president 

of the student council there, and played varsity 

football team for Grove City HS last fall. 

Zach Swierz, a Bishop Ready High School graduate 

and current freshman at the United States 

Military Academy (West Point), finished the first 

semester ranked in the top one-third of his class 

there. He also represents West Point on its college 

Model United Nations and club fencing 

teams. 

Richmond Honkpo, a freshman at Otterbein University 

and recent graduate of Franklin Heights 

High School, qualified for the NCAA Division III 

National Indoor Track Championships in the long 

jump. He has posted one of the top 20 leaps 

among DIII student athletes during the indoor 

season at 23’ 6-3/4” and is traveling to the national 

competition in Virginia March 7-9. Richmond 

formerly earned All-Ohio recognition in 

the long jump as a high school senior. 

We should be quite proud that our community is 

producing young people that are achieving at 

extremely high levels.

Aggregation lessens bills 


Staff Writer 

Madison Township residents enrolled in 

a voter-approved aggregation program will 

see a reduction in their utility bill–an 

average of $16 a month–following action 

taken by the township trustees at their 

Feb. 26 meeting. 

The trustees approved new rate resolutions 

for electricity and gas starting with 

April billing, which is before the current 

agreement ends, due to favorable conditions. 

“The market right now is in a pretty 

good place to extend your agreement,” said 

Trebel LLC representative Erin 

Schmerschneider. 

The township’s current participation 

rate, based on eligibility, is 87 percent electric 

and 89 percent gas. As in the past, only 

those serviced by AEP or Columbia Gas are 

eligible for the aggregation program. 

Separate opt-out letters for the gas and 

electric aggregation program participation 

will be sent out on March 8 to all eligible 

township residents, as required by the 

PUCO. All opt-outs received by March 29 

will be processed before the April billing. 

However, residents may join or leave 

the program at any time without penalty 

from the supplier. Budget billing is also 

available. 

The rate for gas aggregation with 

Archer Energy for April 1, 2024, through 

May 30, 2026, is fixed at $0.5859 per Ccf. 

The rate for electric aggregation with 

Archer Energy for May 31, 2024, through 

May 31, 2025, is fixed at $0.06649 per 

kWh. 

“This is about as low as we’ve seen since 

COVID times,” said Madison Township 

Administrator Susan Brobst.

CW Council wants your opinions 


Staff Writer 

Canal Winchester City Council hopes 

efforts to pave the way for better communications 

with citizens will direct the best 

ways to share news and information with 

the community. 

Council’s communication committee is 

creating and distributing a survey seeking 

input on improving communications. 

“What do we want to accomplish? What 

do we want to learn,” said Councilman Will 

Bennett, “to ensure we provide residents 

with the information they find valuable 

and not create an additional burden on city 

staff. Identify the level of methods that currently 

exist and also identify what channels 

of communications will reach the most 

significant amount of residents as well as 

the topics residents want to know the most 

about.” 

Proposed survey questions are: Do you 

follow what is happening in Canal 

Winchester? What sources do you use? 

What department do you seek information 

from? And Do you feel the city currently 

does a good job of communicating with residents? 

Three open-ended survey questions 

under consideration are: What are we 

doing right? What can we do to better communications 

and what other ways the city 

can improve communications. 

Survey participants can provide their 

Township Police report 

According to the Madison Township 

Police, during February officers responded 

to 226 dispatched calls and logged 153,518 

patrol miles. MTPD officers impounded 20 

vehicles and used 1,583 gallons of fuel. In 

addition, six OVI arrests were made, two in 

Blacklick Estates, two in Canal Winchester 

city limits, one near the Marwick Addition, 

and one outside Madison Township limits. 

To date, in 2024, Madison Township officers 

have arrested ten impaired drivers. 

Hamilton Township 

sidewalk program 

The Hamilton Township trustees 

received three bids for the Hamilton 

Meadows sidewalk replacement program 

Phase Eight. Bids were received from Royal 

Concrete for $36,905, Capital City Concrete 

for $28,192, and Randy Linton for $24,163. 

After discussion, the trustees approved the 

bid from Randy Linton for Phase Eight of 

the sidewalk replacement program for a 

cost of $24,163. 

The trustees also accepted the agreement 

with the Franklin County Engineer 

to inspect the 2024 sidewalk replacement 

project. 

At their Jan. 10 meeting, the Hamilton 

Township trustees declared their intent to 

repair sidewalks along the following township 

roads: Astoria Avenue, Alburn Drive, 

Grenada Road, Kingland Drive, Kinsman 

Place, and Rathmell Road, and to assess 

name or remain anonymous. 

As to the method of survey delivery, 

council discussed various avenues including 

online, social media, door drops, mailings, 

cold calls, utility bills, and voice 

method systems. 

“It’s a huge opportunity to learn what 

people desire to learn more about,” said 

Bennett. “To really guide the type of communications 

were creating. We’re going to 

regroup (the communications committee) 

on the 14th and finalize the survey and our 

approach on the delivery methods.” 

Library update 

After more than three hours of testimony 

and deliberations on Feb. 20, the fate of 

three appeals filed against planning and 

zoning recommendations for a new 

Columbus Metropolitan Library crossed 

another milestone. 

The library is asking to move ahead 

with their plans to build a 30,000 squarefoot 

building on Groveport Road. They are 

asking for a conditional use permit, site 

development plan and setback variances, 

including slicing a west setback from 150 

feet to 73.3 feet. 

At the end of the March 4 regular meeting, 

council adopted the Findings and Facts 

of the Feb. 20 public hearing as prepared 

by the city’s law director Thaddeus Boggs. 

“This is just to accept what accurately 

reflects what went down (during the hearing),” 

Boggs said. “The timing for any fur- 

the cost of the repair of those sidewalks to 

the abutting property owners. 

The trustees held a public hearing on 

the issue on Feb. 28 at the Township Hall, 

6400 Lockbourne Road.
